	special guest host Kurt Schlichter Yeah.
	Thank you, Dr. Gorka.
	What an honor it is to be here guest hosting on America First for Dr. Sebastian Gorka.
	I am Kurt Schlichter.
	Who the heck am I?
	You know me from such media outlets as townhall.com, where my column runs every Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday.
	And I've got the podcast going today for you VIP members.
	I got my special stream of Kurchisness video, which is not for the faint of heart.
	And that comes out every Friday.
	Um, gosh, what else am I?
	I'm a retired army colonel.
	I'm a noted Los Angeles trial lawyer.
	I am the author of the Kelly Turnbull series of conservative action novels, and I am currently working on my newest book for Regnery, The Fall and Rise of America.
	I am so excited to be here on this very special day.
	Now, some people call it Columbus Day.
	I call it A celebration of the European conquest of North America.
	I'm really glad it happened, and my ancestors helped.
	My ancestors were Germanic, because Schlichter is about as Germanic as you can get.
	I mean, we were kicked out of Germany 250 years ago, forced to come to America by popular demand, or as they say in Germany, der Demanden.
	And, you know, my ancestors were the guys who came in and leveled Rome and burned it to the ground.
	Way back when, I think it was 476.
	I'm super excited about this whole thing.
	I am super excited to be here not apologizing for history.
	Now some people have decided to call Columbus Day, which is what technically today is celebrating the European discovery of America, which was the prelude to conquering it.
	A lot of people don't have a problem with that.
	Right?
	And these are stupid people who are ahistorical jerks.
	The idea that today is Indigenous Peoples Day is ridiculous.
	First of all, if you're going to honor Indigenous people, and we should, the American Indians were legendary warriors of unparalleled courage and bravery.
	They don't need any approval.
	They don't need any acclamation from us because their heroism is written in the pages of American history, including as members of the United States military.
	But why would you decide that you take a day that recognizes Christopher Columbus and that I propose should recognize the conquest of North America by the Europeans?
	I don't care about the conquest of South America.
	I consider that their problem.
	Why would you decide you were going to honor indigenous people if you decided it was a smart thing to honor people based on their ethnic heritage, which I also reject strongly?
	Why would you take a day that's already there?
	Why wouldn't you do a different day?
	And the reason is it's all baloney, it's all lies, but that's what liberalism is.
	That's what this nonsense ideology of hatred, foolishness, and failure is.
	It's a neo-Marxist nightmare.
	And here at America First, we are unequivocally opposed to it.
	I don't care what the FBI thinks about our opposition to CRT.
	I don't care if they call us domestic terrorism for going to a school board and making our wishes known.
	You know, apparently, to the powers that be, the threat to democracy, folks, is people like you out there exercising your democracy.
	Well, here on America First, we reject that.
	We're not going to be playing those games.
	And we're also going to be doing something else today.
	Now, we are packed with guests today.
	Because, look, this is going to be my only real monologue.
	Because you don't come to America first to hear me.
	You come to hear Dr. Gorka.
	And if Dr. Gorka is off doing Dr. Gorka things somewhere else, you come for the guests.
	Folks, I got you the guests.
	Alright?
	Listen to this lineup.
	We got Robbie Starbuck coming.
	Liz Sheld, who is hilarious, showing up.
	Senate candidate in Pennsylvania, where my family settled after being ejected from Deutschland.
	Sean Parnell, fellow Army guy.
	We got J.D.
	Vance, a fellow Ohioan, because I was born in Ohio until I was kicked out of there and forced to go to Los Angeles, again by popular demand.
	We got Ned Ryan.
	Nobody's got better political analysis than him.
	My friend Adam Laxalt, who is going to take back that Senate seat in Las Vegas when the president's election integrity was under fire.
	Adam was in Las Vegas.
	I joined him.
	We fought for election integrity there.
	Adam is a great guy.
	Can't wait to talk to him.
	Special Forces Weapons Sergeant Jim Hansen, a close personal friend, will be here.
	We will close it out at the end of three hours of powerful entertainment.
	We'll close it out with my pal, hilarious conservative comic, Tim Young.
	But before we go down that road, I want to talk to you about something that's important.
	And I believe today, of all days, is an important day for us as conservatives to show solidarity with the working class union guys who are standing up against Democrat corporate human rights violations.
	What am I talking about?
	I'm talking about the anti-vax civil disobedience that we see going on with Southwest Airlines and the air traffic controllers.
	Now it's spreading.
	Now if you were to watch the mainstream media, and I would have to ask you why the hell are you watching the mainstream media, go right to the source and subscribe to Pravda.
	But if you were watching the mainstream media, you would think there's a lot of flight cancellations due to weather and staffing shortages.
	That is a lie.
	Let me show you.
	See, we got this thing called the Interwebs.
	And if you use the Interwebs, and if you're watching on Rumble, and you should be watching on Rumble, are you watching on Rumble?
	Because, first of all, I got a great new haircut.
	I'm looking good, folks.
	I'm looking good for 56.
	But you can see on my phone machine is a picture of the weather.
	in Jacksonville where this is centered this weekend.
	Partially cloudy 81 and this mysterious weather phenomenon only appears to have affected Southwest Airlines.
	Southwest Airlines has decreed that you must take the vaccine or you will be terminated.
	The Union itself is not fighting back.
	It would be, according to people who do union law, which I do not do, some sort of unlawful job action.
	But individual people are standing up and resisting.
	We need to support these American workers, folks.
	We need to support the union workers against the corporate Democrat cartel that is oppressing them and violating their human rights.
	Now, Kurt, You say, are you one of those anti-vax people?
	I am not.
	I am fully vaccinated.
	I in fact had COVID.
	I am so full of antibodies.
	I'm just bursting with immunity.
	Even though a friend of mine just got COVID after having the vaccine.
	That being said, I'm also bursting with freedom.
	I'm bursting with freedom because I don't believe that anybody should tell you whether or not you take a vaccine.
	Now, I would not presume to understand the facts or medical condition or other situations about you and say you should take the vaccine.
	Conversely, there are people who go, I can't believe you took the vaccine, Kurt.
	Well, It's none of your business why I did.
	I thought it was best for me based on all the facts that I gathered about my personal situation, which you don't know.
	My doctors advised it, and there were some other reasons, but I don't need a reason.
	I can take the vaccine if I want to.
	I should be able to not take the vaccine if I want to, because there are real consequences for taking the vaccine, and the individual should prevail.
	And I don't care if you are being oppressed by the government or by a listed company on The stock exchange.
	It doesn't matter.
	Oppression is oppression is oppression.
	And we are seeing them all.
	We are seeing it become one big blob of oppression.
	You've heard of the song, Ball of Confusion, memorably covered by, God, what was that band?
	Love and Rockets.
	But It's becoming this amorphous kind of uniform oppression that's corporate and social media and non-governmental organizations and the government itself all trying to get us to conform.
	I'm against it all.
	I say here at America First, we need to stand up for the hard-working union members who are resisting this.
	They are at the front lines of freedom.
	We got your back.
	All right.
	Mic's on.
	friendly skies vaccinated or unvaccinated as you decide i will be back in just a moment with more here on america first stick around all right mike's on so do i still got it for boys sounds like it no fantastic Sounds like it.
	Did you like that?
	That was good.
	I thought that was good.
	How about you guys out on Rumble?
	Somebody give me some feedback on the Twitter machine, because I can look at that while I'm on.
	Let's hear it from Rumblers.
	The rumbling has commenced.
	Rumble and tumble, baby.
	Fight the power.
	Fight the power.
	All right.
	Trying to see if I'm getting any feedback.
	I'm stoked for this.
	I thought that was good.
	Oh, my gosh.
	Dr. Gorka's got me on there.
	Oh, wait.
	That might be you guys.
	All right.
	I'm retweeting that.
	But yeah, I thought that was okay.
	That was, yeah, that was great.
	That was fun.
	That's the key to taking back 2022 and 2024 is the working class support.
	Well, look, I mean, look, these are hard-working guys.
	Why are we hassling them?
	They're doing what we ask them to do.
	They're flying us around, they're not crashing.
	You know, all they want, look, did you know that the The employment pool dropped by like 0.5% last month.
	A bunch of people just refused to go to work.
	And these guys get up every day and they fly these giant machines safely.
	And they have to have all these other standards, you know, they're always getting poked and prodded, make sure they're in good shape.
	And then they're being bullied by their company.
	And I like Southwest.
	I, I enjoy cattle cars as much as anybody else who was in basic training.
	Uh, but, uh, yeah, we got to stand with them.
	All right.
	We got him on the line, right?
	We're not keeping the mics on, right?
	No, Kurt said he wanted the mics on.
	Let him know the mics are on.
	All right.
	I'll bring it right now.
	Ready?
	Here.
	Dr. Verka wants to know about my haircut.
	High and tight, baby.
	High and tight.
	Robbie, Starbuck is on the line, just to let him know the mics are still live for the Rumblebox.
	Hey Robbie, how are ya?
	We're live.
	Hey, I'm doing good!
	Is your flight cancelled?
	No, not yet.
	I hope so, though.
	I'd be really happy if it is.
	I know the feeling.
	I got a flight coming up.
	When we're on live, we'll talk about those subjects we mentioned in our texts.
	Yeah, and LA Fire Department, too.
	It's about 40% of their guys that would be getting fired, and they're already understaffed where they've closed, like, five locations.
	You know, it's going to be interesting.
	Yeah.
	I'm curious to see what happens.
	Who blinks?
	Me too.
	Alright, we got about a minute twenty.
	Let's talk about how you're going to support these guys when you get into Congress.
	Because you are getting into Congress.
	We need to talk about the imminent gerrymandering of Nashville.
	Which I strongly support.
	Oh yeah.
	The reverse gerrymandering.
	We're un-gerrymandering what has already been gerrymandered.
	We're making it a fair seat.
	Finally.
	After like a hundred years.
	Make them fight for it.
	Luckily, they hit like girls.
	Alright, 50 seconds.
	And not like Gina Carano girls.
	Like Bulwark Stafford girls.
	I was gonna say, not like my girls.
	My daughters, they hit hard.
	Well, you're Cuban.
	You know, my Cuban wife once told me I don't own enough guns.
	That's the kind of body that I got.
	No, seriously, I was like, that's the hottest thing.
	The only thing that could be hotter is if you're wearing a cheerleader outfit.
	Which, in fact, she was.
	Because I'm a player.
	I disavow you, Kurt.
	Alright, alright, stand by Remember, I'm the bad cop We're coming in here right now, alright, stand by I know I know
	Hey, folks, we are stepping out again.
	again.
	Little Joe Jackson bumper music there.
	Kurt Schlichter here, guest hosting for The Great Seb Gorka on America First.
	Folks, I'm bringing up a friend of mine.
	And this friend of mine is someone that you and I have been told can't be a Republican.
	He directed videos in Hollywood, including rap videos that you probably know, because I know many of you are into the hip-hop ooo.
	He is Latinx.
	And he has a man bun.
	He's been told that he can't be one of us, and yet he embodies the principles of America First, the principles of patriotism, the principles of family and faith, better than almost anybody I know.
	He's running for Congress in a new district that's being re-un-gerrymandered in Nashville.
	It's Robbie Starbuck.
	Robbie, welcome to America First.
	Thank you for having me.
	I like the way you explain that.
	It is, we are un-gerrymandering this crooked seat and making it a fair seat for Tennessee.
	Well, tell us about the situation there, because there's a lot of un-gerrymandering that needs to be done this cycle.
	There really is, and you know, it's kind of disappointing in a lot of the states.
	It seems like the legislature's, you know, again, I mean, this is kind of the age-old problem.
	We've got some weak establishment GOP guys in there who are afraid of their own shadows, and so they're afraid to redistrict anything because They think they're going to lose their seats.
	And it's really, it speaks to how confident they are in themselves.
	Like, they know that they don't have the stuff that we have in this sort of, you know, America First populist movement.
	So they're afraid of something that they really shouldn't fear, especially in these very red states.
	Thankfully here in Tennessee, it looks like that's not going to happen.
	It looks like we're going to get this redistricted into a fair seat, you know, because essentially it's been gerrymandered.
	You know, it's just a tiny circle.
	Build for a Democrat to win.
	It's kind of like Memphis.
	You know, there are these tiny little blue dots within a very, very red state.
	And so, because of the growth in Middle Tennessee, it allowed for, you know, and really required that they break this up and turn it into a fair seat that's representative of the actual people of Middle Tennessee.
	So, we're very excited about it.
	I hope these other states catch up.
	Well, I do too, Robbie.
	Now, in my intro, I joked around a little about the stereotypes of what a conservative is.
	But a lot of people really don't understand how someone from the entertainment industry, and someone who has Hispanic heritage, I know your family came from Cuba, as my wife's did, can be a Republican.
	And they kind of scratch their heads, yet you fit perfectly in what we're talking about.
	How does it make you feel to have to go up against that kind of liberal stereotyping, and how do you address it?
	I actually love it, because this is how we're going to... We want to become a party that wins and wins and wins and wins relentlessly.
	If we're going to become that party, we've got to sort of reframe what a Republican is and say, you know what?
	A Republican can be anybody, and we've got to get these people to identify with our values.
	And be able to present them with the best case for why our policies will make their lives better.
	I think for a long time, people have sort of over-complicated politics and it really comes down to who's going to prove to people that their life will be better under these policies or those policies.
	And so, us making that outreach and saying, you know what, we're broadening the spectrum and we see that anybody could be conservative.
	We've just got to find a way to message our values.
	Like, look at the Latino community.
	It is an overwhelmingly conservative community, yet still votes more often than not for Democrats.
	They oppose abortion, they're about family freedom, hard work, and yet they vote for Democrats at way too high of a clip.
	We saw that changing with the largest voter share change in the 2020 election, but there's a lot of work still to be done there.
	And the truth is, you just have to go out and make the case.
	When you look at districts where Latino Republicans run, We totally shift the Latino vote towards the Republican Party, not just for ourselves, but for everybody up and down ballot.
	So that's another interesting thing is, you know, you know, Democrats seem to love first.
	Well, in the state of Tennessee, I'm the first Latino that is up for state, uh, you know, for federal office.
	So us to be able to make those sorts of changes will help the dynamic in the future to shift these voters over to our party, which I think is incredibly, I mean, it's a matter of survival.
	We have to do this.
	We want our party and our values to survive.
	Well, Robbie Starbuck, we've been told that, you know, red state conservatives are a bunch of mindless bigots who hate anybody whose great-great-grandfather didn't come from the same swatch of country in Scandinavia as they did.
	How have you been received by the people of Tennessee?
	They love me.
	I'd say the more rural I get, the more they love me.
	You know, it's just like everything else.
	The Democrats sort of frame As a reality, it's total BS.
	You know, it does not reflect the people at all.
	In fact, the only racism that I've ever seen as somebody with a Latino background and, you know, having a mom who was a penniless refugee and so on and so forth, the only stuff like that I've ever seen has come from Democrats.
	Not just their bigotry of low expectations, but also things like, you know, them on TV assuming that all Latino people are going to be their housekeepers or their gardeners, you know?
	I don't know if you remember that old clip of Kelly Osborne saying, essentially, you know, Latino women would be cleaning toilets.
	Like, who's going to clean our toilets?
	It's the most offensive stuff.
	Yeah, I hope she shares that with my wife.
	Yeah, exactly.
	I would like to see her say that to my grandma.
	That would not have gone over well when she was alive.
	There would have been a lot of sandals involved.
	And, you know, I think it's one of those things that they just, they frame everything in a context that is beneficial to their party.
	And it's one of my big criticisms of our party is we've allowed them to do this.
	Our party has allowed them to claim the narrative and to define who we are for too long, and that's why in my campaign, I'm not letting that happen.
	I'm defining who we are.
	The stuff we're putting out, the videos we put out, the messaging we put out, it clearly defines who we are, and it makes the Democrats look like fools for saying we're anything else but that.
	Where do we go to help you, Robbie?
	Starbuck 2022.com and you'll guys see if you sign up for the mailing list, you'll be the first ones to see an ad coming out very soon.
	Couldn't be more thrilled.
	Former Director of National Intelligence for President Trump, Rick Grinnell, has endorsed me, and you'll be the first ones to see that when the video comes out.
	I haven't posted on social media about it yet, but I'll say it here.
	Well, Robbie Starbuck, that is huge.
	I know Rick personally, lives in my town.
	I see him around.
	It's interesting, you know, you're in Trader Joe's, looking at the Orange chicken.
	Oh, your excellency, Mr. Ambassador.
	But he also was there in Nevada fighting for election integrity after the election.
	He's the guy you asked me to come out and help.
	He is a great get.
	One last thing, Robbie.
	We've got about a minute left.
	The one stereotype that really has us scratching our heads here at America First is how can somebody who was a Hollywood director actually be conservative?
	Are there other conservatives in Hollywood who are just afraid to come out?
	There are, and as hard as it is to believe, some of the biggest people in Hollywood are actually conservative.
	It's been, you know, a fight that a lot have taken on for a long time.
	A lot of them send me messages, you know, they're on that precipice of doing things themselves to sort of push the boundaries because they see what's happening.
	I mean, for me, it was easy to come out as a Republican and be very vocal because of the Cuban background and what I know these people are capable of and knowing that we have to make our stand for freedom.
	For some of these people, it's taking them a little bit longer, but it's super necessary.
	We see how evil Hollywood is and that they will use every tool they can to destroy America.
	And so we're going to do everything we can In my campaign, on the outside of that, to get into D.C.
	knowing exactly how these people work and use their tools against them to break down this disgusting, evil machine that they have.
	Because if you haven't seen it, you don't know how to fight it.
	And I know how to fight it.
	Love hearing that, Robbie.
	Tell us one more time in the last 15 seconds, how do we get to support you?
	Donate at Starbuck2022.com.
	You can sign up to volunteer there, too.
	Doesn't matter if you live in Tennessee or not.
	You can phone bank, do all types of stuff.
	We have a training coming up, so sign up there.
	Starbuck2022.com.
	Robbie Starbuck, running in Tennessee.
	Let's get him into Congress, folks.
	Folks, this is Kurt Schlichter on America First.
	Mike's back on.
	Hey, Robbie, thanks a lot.
	I thought that went well.
	Thank you.
	That was awesome.
	Yeah.
	Excellent.
	That was some good stuff.
	It was.
	Tell your wife I said hi.
	I will do so.
	Tell your wife I said hi.
	Hope I see you at least at CPAC, if not before then.
	I will for sure.
	I'll tell Landon right now.
	She's right outside the door.
	Okay.
	I'll see you, man.
	Good luck.
	Bye-bye.
	Boy, he's great.
	It actually just occurred to me, yeah, because I noticed he is running, like, right now the district is, like, D plus 10 or something, but I keep forgetting that redistricting is happening.
	Yeah, he's gonna have a real shot.
	Okay, so we got about six more minutes.
	Realistically, by the virtue of just the census alone plus redistricting, Republicans should automatically retake the House by a bare minimum.
	I think they will retake the House.
	It's the Senate I'm worried about.
	Hey Eric, what is this I'm hearing about this lawnmower and leaf blower deal?
	Oh, I'm gonna get on that.
	I don't know if anyone who's riding those laws who's trying to get that push through has ever used one of those in their entire life.
	What's all this?
	I'm not familiar with this.
	It's electric leaf blowers and lawn mowers.
	It's only, you can't use any gas powered ones.
	Which is hilarious.
	Riding the gas powered lawn mower, rider mower as a kid is one of my favorite yard work activities.
	And there's not many of those.
	I'd ride this thing around on my front lawn as a kid.
	I put a lot of time in on zero-turn mowers.
	Where is that at?
	California?
	California.
	But my thing is leaf blowers.
	Have you ever had to do a job where you actually need a leaf blower?
	You need a gas-powered leaf blower.
	I have an electric one for my backyard when I want to clear up some stuff.
	It lasts about 15 minutes.
	Yeah, exactly.
	It's good if it's plugged in and you're ready to go and you've got to do something small.
	You never use one of those things before you actually need some power or you actually have a halfway decent job to do.
	It's ridiculous.
	It's one of those absent-minded, you know... California, man, it's... I'm from there.
	I think it's... Well, we're going to talk about that because that is... Too far gone.
	There's a lot to unpack with that and how obnoxious that is and how it's just a super insult to working class and especially immigrants who are just trying to, you know, feed their families doing landscaping.
	The only benefit for me is my insane dog barks at the leaf blower all the time.
	Drives me up a freakin' wall.
	But that's the sad reality.
	You can point out, and Robbie pointed out, and others, how these policies are bad for immigrants.
	And yet, in California at least, you know most of those immigrants are still going to vote for Democrats anyway.
	Changing slowly.
	But is it changing fast enough?
	It'll never be fast enough.
	Rome wasn't built in a day, but it was burned down in a night by my ancestors.
	Booyah!
	To de Bourgh forest in the house!
	Boom!
	We have 50 seconds.
	All right.
	Rejoin here.
	But that's crazy.
	I don't know.
	It sounds like it's just like gun control laws where people have never picked up a firearm in their entire life and they want to legislate on them.
	If you've never actually had to use a riding mower or a leaf blower, don't tell me what I can and can't use.
	It's ridiculous.
	All right.
	25 seconds.
	You have 25.
	All right.
	Stand by.
	I'll meet the mics.
	We'll come on in.
	Standing by. Standing
	by. Standing by.
	We are back!
	Back on America First!
	I am Kurt Schlichter.
	I'm sitting in for Dr. Seb Gorka while he is off doing Seb Gorka things.
	Guys, today we are standing in solidarity with hard-working union workers who are fighting against Democrat corporate human rights violations in the form of vaccine mandates.
	Out there, the guys who fly your Southwest Airlines planes ...are resisting!
	The vaccine mandate.
	Folks are doing it elsewhere, too.
	They are doing it in the L.A.
	Fire Department, which is losing people.
	We're seeing it in the U.S.
	military.
	We're seeing it everywhere as people stand up and say, no, I will not give up my choice.
	Now, this isn't an anti-vax thing.
	I have been vaccinated.
	It was the right call for me for reasons that are absolutely unimportant to anyone but me, because it was my call.
	And it is your call.
	It should be your call.
	Because you are an American citizen, and you should be supreme.
	Now, our friends on the left, they like to posture as defenders of rights.
	They like to posture as defenders of liberty.
	They like to posture as being on the side of the little guy.
	But of course, they never are.
	In this struggle, they are on the side of the giant corporations.
	They are on the side of the government.
	They are attempting to crush You know, the little Sally Fields with their union sign in the sweatshop.
	The hard-working John Henry guy who's swinging the hammer.
	They are crushing the Jode family and the Grapes of Wrath.
	We stand with America workers here on America First in solidarity.
	with their struggle for human rights.
	And we stand with other workers, too.
	Now, you may not have heard of this.
	It might not be important.
	You might not think it's important to you.
	But it's very important here in Los Angeles, where I am, where I'm a noted Los Angeles trial lawyer.
	Here in California, Governor Hairstyle, I mean Newsom, has just signed a law banning gas-powered leaf blowers.
	Now, you may think that's no big deal, and you may find them annoying.
	I certainly do.
	My crazy dog Bitey just goes on this barking spree whenever a guy with a leaf blower comes by cleaning off leaves.
	And yet, this is a disgrace.
	This is a disgrace, folks, because This is the same kind of condescending, obnoxious, petty oppression of hard-working folks that we keep seeing from our liberal overlords.
	Okay?
	Guys who landscape, who are mostly immigrants, and in Los Angeles they're mostly Hispanic immigrants.
	These guys work their tails off.
	When it's hot, when it's wet, when it's cold, and it's not cold very often here, but it's often hot.
	They're out there working, and a gas-powered leaf blower provides a tool that they need to efficiently get the job done.
	These puny, weak, can't-do-a-push-up electric leaf blowers just don't cut it.
	They're gonna have to work twice as hard, take twice as long to do a job that's already tough.
	But the liberal establishment doesn't care.
	Because they have to make yet another sacrifice to the cult of Gaea, the goddess of global warming.
	This bizarre pseudo-religious, pagan-religious nightmare.
	It costs them nothing.
	They get to preen.
	They get to pose.
	They get to pose for themselves as woke and aware and caring about our environment.
	But what they're really doing is throwing another rock in the ruck of people who are just trying to make a living.
	These hard-working immigrant folks, largely, who run our landscaping companies out here.
	They're the ones who are going to pick up the slack.
	The liberals pose.
	The working folks sweat.
	And that's how it always is with these folks.
	You know, I mean, look at the Endless Wars.
	They're all happy about going off and fighting another ill-thought-through war.
	But it ain't Caden or Ashley from Santa Monica who's going to do it.
	It's your kids.
	Okay?
	I know I did it myself.
	Desert Storm.
	Went to Kosovo after 9-11.
	I was in the LA riots, which is the scariest of the three.
	This is wrong, folks.
	And this is why we fight.
	This is why we stand for America First.
	Because when we talk about America First, we're not talking about the establishment.
	We're not talking about our ruling caste.
	We're not talking about the people who posture themselves as our moral betters.
	We're talking about the people who fuel this country, who feed this country, who build this country, who defend this country.
	That is who we care about here on America First.
	We will always stand.
	with Americans who do the hard work of building and keeping our country strong.
	That is our promise.
	I will be right back with Liz Shelds.
	Stick around. Stick around. Stick around. Stick around. Stick around. Stick around. Stick around. Stick around. Stick around.
	Boom.
	Wow.
	Good stuff.
	There we go.
	By the way, I just wanted to read- Did you like that?
	Was that okay?
	Let's see.
	Yay, Kurt.
	Two thumbs up.
	Well done, Kurt.
	You are greatly appreciated, Colonel K. Awesome, Kurt.
	Kurt is the only guest host that has mics on during breaks.
	I like that.
	Which is true.
	I think you are the only guest host who does that.
	Really?
	Yeah, everybody else prefers keeping the mics on, which I get it.
	It just seems weird to me.
	I mean, I'm here for three hours.
	I belong to the people.
	God, man, my sincerity is so insincere.
	That was like a Spartacus routine you had going on there, though.
	That was good stuff.
	You like that?
	That was great.
	They probably want to nail me to a cross.
	I like that, man.
	I'll still never forget that.
	Like, all this pro-workers stuff, I'll never forget how revolutionary that was, pun intended, in 2015 when Trump said, you know, the GOP should, as a candidate, he said, the GOP should be the party of the American workers.
	And the Daily Wire wrote an article basically saying, Donald Trump proves he's really just Bernie Sanders because he said workers.
	And I'm like, really?
	Seriously?
	Like, just because he uses the word worker?
	Not a lot of guys have a daily worker who've ever done something that requires sweat.
	Or daily collar.
	Or worker, for that matter.
	Daily worker, yeah, yeah.
	No, it's just that, look, I think it's important...
	My feeling is, I don't want any Republican who has not mopped out a toilet, I don't want any Republican who has not gotten in a fight and won, or, and, also gotten in a fight and lost.
	So you don't want Mitt Romney?
	You don't have a Mitt 2012 license plate behind you?
	No.
	No, that, um... I'm voting for Mitt Romney.
	Snug, mug, muffy, skippy, scappy, scooby.
	I voted for Mitt Romney in 2012.
	He was my first presidential.
	I had a big Mitt Romney sticker.
	I had a bunch on my car.
	I had all that stuff.
	Of course, yeah, he's my first presidential vote.
	I'll always think, like, oh, you know.
	Who was your first time?
	Please don't put it that way.
	It was the electoral equivalent of the back of the limo coming out of the prom.
	Cold November morning.
	And Jess is unpleasant.
	Oh my goodness.
	Great.
	And... Keeping the mics on.
	It's the beauty of it.
	It's the beauty of it.
	Oh, no, no, no, no.
	You're not in trouble yet.
	He'll take it all in, you know.
	Doing the Kurtz style.
	Oh, we got Liz Schell coming.
	This is going to be spicy.
	She's great.
	She's on the line right now.
	Hi, Liz.
	How are you?
	Mic's on.
	I am good.
	How are you?
	I am great.
	Remember, everybody can hear us on Rumble, which is cool.
	Yes, I'm going to watch my language.
	Okay, I'm going to keep you the second segment, if that's okay, all the way up to the hour.
	I can never get enough.
	Never.
	Yeah, well, we ought to have to bash mode as our bumper music.
	Oh, yeah.
	I just can't get enough.
	Hey!
	By the way, I saw a picture of those guys from when they were just starting out, and I swear to God, they looked like they were 12.
	I felt so damn old.
	I'm like, holy crap.
	They look so young.
	It's kind of sad, but it's sadder when you move them.
	It really is.
	I mean, they come back.
	They try and come back.
	All right, 30 seconds.
	I have the best boat song from New Orleans, I gotta tell you.
	30 seconds.
	25 now.
	Very interesting.
	Anyway, we're going to talk about supporting union workers, which is super important to do right now.
	Oh, okay.
	Are we talking about the pilot situation?
	Yes!
	Yes.
	Ten seconds.
	We've got to stand behind our union workers.
	Stand by.
	We're back.
	Back.
	On America First.
	With Dr. Seb Gorka.
	Except we're not with Dr. Seb Gorka today.
	We are with Kurt Schlichter, town hall senior columnist, noted Los Angeles trial lawyer, retired United States Army colonel.
	And the author of the best-selling Kelly Turnbull series of conservative novels, which you should go to Amazon and get, because they will fulfill you in ways no other novels can, if you know what I'm saying.
	And that's what I'm saying.
	We are joined now by a very good friend of mine.
	She works over at America Greatness, but she does all sorts of stuff.
	She knows everybody.
	She's been everywhere.
	She has her fingers on the pulse of DC, and I mean that in a good way.
	Liz Scheld!
	Liz, hi!
	Hi Kurt, thanks for having me.
	Oh my gosh, I wouldn't do a radio hit without you.
	Now, we are going to do our best to maintain FCC compliance today.
	Yes.
	Because sometimes it gets a little blue.
	It gets salty.
	It gets salty.
	Oh my gosh, there's sodium chloride in the house.
	Now, I want to, first of all, wish you a happy Conquest of North America Day.
	Yeah, that's kind of weird.
	I'm a Columbus Day person.
	I grew up with that.
	You know, now it's Indigenous Peoples' Day, and there's a march here in D.C.
	today, too, that, I guess, Indigenous people are marching for climate change progress.
	Oh, that's intersectionality!
	Right.
	I like how we're doing the Indigenous, and we've got climate change, and we'll probably have pronouns over here.
	See, I like the way that they hit all the buttons.
	That's super useful.
	Well, I think this is probably deeper pockets in the climate change I want to talk about the reconciliation thing, the big bill that's full of climate change stuff, and I've got a proposition here.
	Call me cynical, but I think that climate change is a giant hoax.
	it works.
	You know, I look at and I want to talk about the reconciliation thing, the big bill that's full of climate change stuff.
	And I've got a proposition here.
	I call me cynical, but I think that climate change is a giant hoax.
	What do you think?
	I do think that it's being used as a tool to push forward all sorts of wish lists and really handouts for favored constituencies.
	So the people who tell us there's climate change are the people that are going to be the recipient of climate change benefits, climate change legislation benefits.
	So it's an industry.
	So it is, it's good to keep a skeptical eye to it.
	So I, I, I'm not firmly, I'm not on board with it.
	I think it's shameful that the Democrats agenda is so weak that they have to hide their actual agenda in other things to get it passed.
	That's how things get passed.
	They have a bill.
	It's called the puppies and kittens bill.
	And everyone's like, Oh, you love puppies and kittens.
	How can you not support this?
	But inside the bill, it's just a hot mess.
	It's a dumpster fire of.
	wish list and wasted money.
	And that's really how the business model is in D.C.
	So, you know, I'm not I'm not a big climate change person.
	No, I always found it interesting that climate change is an emergency that we it's so pressing and has been for 30 years as we've passed deadline after deadline of polar bears catching fire and being right.
	Barack Obama's buying a place on the seashore, but let's leave that there.
	It's always an emergency, and the solution is inevitably all the things the Democrats want.
	And I search in vain, Liz Sheld.
	I search for a single thing that we need to do to address climate change, which is something that liberals wouldn't want done.
	Right, or requires personal sacrifice, right?
	Like, you wouldn't talk to me about assessing windmills on Martha's Vineyard, okay?
	Let's put some windmills, you know, or, you know, Forcing people to abandon their beach houses with no reimbursement.
	There's never any personal sacrifice for these folks with their legislation.
	Also, they tend to be very contradictory about it.
	So, we're going to close down the pipeline for whatever and no fracking, but it's better to have trucks transport fuel.
	Oh, okay.
	That's a better thing for the climate.
	These are contradictions.
	You know, I think it's just a gimmick, like so many of the other things that the Democrats are showcasing.
	It's just a gimmick and a pretense to redistribute wealth and give their supporters some goody bags.
	Basically, goody bags of stuff.
	Well, look, I think they are trying their level best while that desiccated old weirdo masquerading as president is in office.
	And they have the slimmest possible majorities.
	to ram through as much nonsense as they possibly can.
	And I think their strategy, and tell me if I'm wrong, Liz Shield, is kind of like Obamacare.
	Yeah, we'll get it passed, barely, we'll lose the House, but it will be established and it will be impossible to get rid of, like Obamacare was, thanks to John McCain, who was a maverick back when being an Arizona maverick was a good thing, as opposed to being a bad thing, which it is today, and get you followed into the toilet.
	Right.
	Well, I think you're absolutely right.
	And as we saw, the Republicans don't have the spine to actually repeal any of the things that the Democrats do once the Republicans gain power.
	So the Democrats have always played a long game.
	And the Republicans play a campaign cycle game.
	So the Democrats are willing to lose the majority, which are going to get crushed probably in 2022 because everything is horrible.
	It's just going to be a smoking crater.
	The Democrats are just going to get slaughtered.
	But it's OK for them because they know whatever garbage is in this ridiculous, big, fat bill, that the Republicans will not have the guts to repeal it.
	Because honestly, most of them are all on the same team.
	People need to realize it's not really about Republicans and Democrats.
	It's about people inside the Beltway that have power versus people who don't have power.
	No, look, I think you are justly cynical.
	Yes.
	Now, we got about one minute left in this segment, but I'm going to hold you over to the next segment because you were bursting with information.
	What do you think, do you think Kristen Sinema and Joe Manchin are going to, quote, hold out to the extent they're actually holding out and as opposed to just not giving up as much?
	Do you think they're going to retain steady?
	Well, I will say, if you go back, especially with Joe Manchin, who has a longer history in office, in federal office, in citizen cinema, Joe Manchin, on every critical bill, ultimately goes with the Democrats, right?
	He's never bravely, you know, stood out in the fray.
	So, you know, I do think that there are agreements because with the leadership and people like Sinema and Manchin about how to vote.
	So we can talk about that in the next segment.
	Well, we will be back.
	And I have a question for you when we come back.
	And you guys stick around for it on America First.
	All right.
	Lights on.
	OK, my question, Liz, is going to be, do you think that, you know, Manchin, if Manchin doesn't switch parties, he's going to lose in 2024.
	Do you think Mitch McConnell doesn't want him to switch parties right now?
	Because then all these problems would be his problems.
	That's my theory.
	I don't think he would switch parties right now.
	But even if he were, I'm not sure McConnell would want him to.
	Look, McConnell and Manchin, there's just not much of a difference there.
	I mean, there is a little difference, but not a huge difference, right?
	Who's out there alone?
	Turtle and Manchin, like, I just don't, I don't, I mean, there is a little difference, but not a huge difference, right?
	Who's out there alone?
	The strong people in the Senate, you know, that are willing to go against the majority, and there's some in the House, too, that are willing to say, no, this is ridiculous.
	No, I oppose this.
	But like I said, Manchin has always come down at the end of the day.
	What thing, look, Sinema and Manchin voted to impeach Trump the second time, you know?
	Because they were threatened.
	They do what they're threatened to do.
	You know, they were threatened that if you don't do, look, the...
	Well, I'll just save it for the show.
	I don't want to keep going on this.
	Don't throw away the gold!
	Yeah, that's right.
	No show before the show.
	So, I heard you're flying on Southwest.
	I am!
	I just got a confirmation that it is still a viable flight.
	Oh my gosh.
	Are you going far?
	Is it like a long flight?
	No, I'm going up to SACTO for a day to do law stuff.
	I don't think it's beyond the realm of possibility.
	I get to LAX and get dissed.
	Wow.
	What a predictable nightmare.
	But you know what?
	When you take money from the government, this is what happens.
	Hey, man.
	One minute, one minute.
	The first taste is free.
	Yeah, exactly.
	You know what I'm saying?
	That's totally true.
	Goodness.
	So we've got a short segment.
	It's about 3 minutes and 50 seconds.
	Once the music starts, I'll let you go and then I'll close it out and preview the next one.
	So we've really got about three minutes, three and a half minutes.
	Okay.
	Which is, or as it's known, four bulwark wedding nights.
	Oh, wow.
	So that's, that's not a lot of time.
	All right.
	20 seconds.
	Because they're bad lovers.
	I want to explain the joke for anyone who doesn't get it.
	15 seconds.
	Ahoy!
	Stand by.
	Stand by.
	We are back on America First with Dr. Seb Gorka.
	I am guest host Kurt Schlichter.
	I'm here with American Greatness's own Liz Sheld, who is great all by herself.
	Liz, I promised a question after the last segment, and I want to bring it up to you.
	All right, hit me with it.
	Brace yourself.
	All right.
	Joe Manchin is going to lose in 2024, because West Virginia is like Trump plus 87.
	And right now I think President Trump is going to run.
	So Trump will be on the ticket and he's just going to lose unless he becomes a Republican and somehow makes that switch.
	Now my theory, which I expressed in one of my brilliant town hall columns, is maybe he's thinking, hey, I can cause this fight with the Democrats and then be like, Chuck Schumer has driven me to the arms of the Republicans.
	And I'm thinking, That Mitch McConnell right now is probably saying, I'd love to have a majority, but not of one that is Joe Manchin, because then all Chuck Schumer's problems become Mitch McConnell's problems.
	What say you, Liz Schell?
	No, actually, I do think you're right there, because he already has some... Joe Manchin then has a tremendous amount of power in the Republican Party, and I don't think McConnell wants that to be McConnell.
	Look, I've always said, after the last election, when the Republicans, Senate candidates, both lost Georgia, the Republicans are fine being in the minority.
	They don't care.
	They're in office.
	You know, they don't, it's no sweat off their back.
	So, you know, I think you have a good point.
	I think that's an excellent point.
	I don't think that he would want to have Joe Manchin, and nor should we.
	I mean, we don't want that kind of, we don't want Joe Manchin.
	He's Jim Jeffords with a rifle.
	Yeah, no thanks.
	I don't think so, too.
	Now, what do you make of Kristen Sinema?
	I mean, she's kind of kooky, quirky.
	John Gabriel excellently described her as the manic pixie dream senator.
	She gets followed into the toilet by, you know, illegal aliens yelling at her.
	What do you make of her?
	Well, first of all, I think it's disgusting that it's fine to just follow someone in the toilet and harass them.
	If you follow me into the crap room, we're going to have a problem.
	Don't do it.
	Don't do it.
	You'll shoot him.
	Yeah, do not.
	Trust me when I tell you, don't do that.
	That is a bad move.
	Kristen Sinema, I believe, is actually very progressive.
	But Kristen Sinema is a very savvy politician and she does want to keep her seat and Arizona is not you know Berkeley all right so she cannot go there and join the squad and pull that because she will be immediately gone so she's I I give her props for being savvy and not just doing a kamikaze stint in the senate where she just goes in for six years and just kamikaze dives down to support a radically progressive agenda so well let's hope let's hope let's hope mark kelly
	the communist astronaut uh does do that and he gets booted by one of the great republicans in Arizona yes Yeah, I think he's not long for it.
	I think he's not long for it either.
	Uh, we've got a Senate candidate, Sean Parnell, coming at the top of the hour.
	He's gonna win back Pennsylvania.
	He's an Army guy.
	You stick around here on America First.
	I'm guest host Kurt Schlichter.
	Thank you.
	.

	And what people tell me off air that would know because it's not like Trump calls up and goes, hi, Kurt.
	What you doing?
	You know, he doesn't consult with me directly, but I know people he consults with, like Dr. Gorka.
	And he I think he's going to run and I think he's most likely to win at this point.
	The election?
	Yeah.
	Or the nomination, at least.
	If the general were held today, I think he'd do very well.
	But you still gotta take care of the voter fraud issues.
	Until you fix ballot harvesting and mail-in, I think they'll keep... I have a beef with that, because you know I went and fought the election thing.
	Here's my beef with that.
	People are getting too wrapped up around it.
	What do you mean?! !
	Okay, there were six urban blue areas, many of them in red states, where there were super bad ballot shenanigans.
	There were a number of other states that had statewide, not direct fraud, but changes to the election laws that were done improperly.
	So you have direct fraud in a few places, six of them.
	You have Some laws that were not changed, and we didn't challenge because we didn't have lawyers on the ground long in advance, like the Democrats did, to work the system and get those things thrown out in advance.
	You can't win an election challenge.
	You have to set the tone before, and the Republicans failed to do that.
	It is the Republicans' fault that they allowed the Dems to do it.
	The other thing is the unofficial rigging, which was the corporate media, social media conspiracy to silence Trump voters.
	So all of that put together, that was the problem.
	But it doesn't necessarily have to be the problem.
	The big thing is if we get lawyers out there and spend some of that money that they collected in advance, and I mean like now, out there filing lawsuits, defending lawsuits, challenging these rules, then we can shape the battlefield.
	But we didn't do that.
	And that was on us.
	That was on us.
	I got to Nevada, which is one of the six target areas, and there was one GOP lawyer there.
	One.
	One.
	Okay.
	All right.
	Then you don't have a serious election integrity program.
	Which means you're going to get rolled.
	And they did get rolled.
	So... I wonder... Fixing electronic integrity means fixing the GOP.
	First.
	What do you think the balance is of Trump declaring that he's going to run soon?
	No, no.
	Versus the idea, since he's been out of the spotlight.
	No, he needs space.
	Yeah, it's been good.
	As a commander, if I have time, that's my greatest resource.
	If I don't have to commit, I'm not going to.
	Because then I can see how things develop.
	He shouldn't commit now.
	He shouldn't commit until 23.
	The minute he commits, Everything changes for him, including a bunch of legal requirements for reporting and everything.
	He also becomes a target.
	He also, you know, what if he commits now and the economy rebounds?
	Which I don't think is going to happen, but... But Afghanistan is far out of mind and like a variety of things.
	Look, he has no reason to commit now.
	He's not losing anybody.
	He's going to have a hearing.
	By every voter, including ones who like someone else.
	I think the best thing for Trump right now is that I think the biggest mistake they made was kicking him off social media.
	Oh, I think that was a terrible mistake.
	That was a huge misstep.
	You took the one guy you could pin everything on and people would buy it.
	Well, here's the thing.
	We all talk about no mean tweets.
	They took away his ability to do mean tweets.
	So they basically took away his ability to do the thing that annoyed people.
	I don't think that did, though.
	Because if he did, I think he'd still be on Twitter.
	Oh, he'd totally be on Twitter.
	If that was really alienating people.
	I don't think it did.
	It annoyed the left, but I don't think he lost people.
	No, I think him being out there in front of people allowed the other side to have a rallying point.
	Now there's... I'll bring Parnell up right now.
	Here.
	You got 40 seconds.
	Sean, how you doing?
	We're on, uh, mics are open so people can hear us.
	Oh, that sounds good, so I won't drop any F-bombs or anything crazy.
	Well, man, you dropped J-dams on Taliban guys, we're gonna talk about that.
	Yes, that's correct.
	Like a stud!
	Alright, we got 15 seconds, stand by.
	We need to call for fire on the Democrats.
	In a figurative way.
	Stand by.
	This is America First.
	And I'd like to introduce our very special guest host, Kurt Schlichter.
	Thank you.
	Thank you, Dr. Gorka, little...
	Highway into the Danger Zone bumper music.
	We are in it!
	Let me draw this analogy out.
	We are entering into the Danger Zone, folks, here on America First with a guy who has been in the Danger Zone.
	He's an Army Ranger.
	He is a candidate for Senate in Pennsylvania.
	He is my friend, Sean Parnell.
	Sean, welcome to America First.
	Hey, Kurt.
	Thanks for having me.
	Well, Sean, let's get right to it.
	And, you know, you fought in Afghanistan.
	And when I say fought, I mean you actually, you know, shot guns at people, as opposed to me who, you know, during Desert Storm, I washed trucks at a heavily armed car wash.
	You understand what rough times are.
	You are not afraid of battle.
	And you understand the danger of fratricide, which is something you appear to be facing from an alleged Republican in Pennsylvania.
	What's happening there and what are you doing about it?
	Yeah, well, I think what people need to know is that there is a complete false line of attack launched on me About one hour after I received the endorsement from President Trump.
	Like, no joke, one hour after.
	So let's review here, Sean.
	Our president endorses you.
	Another alleged Republican decides to attack you immediately thereafter.
	So you've got a guy who effectively is not only attacking you, but attacking President Trump.
	Doesn't sound like a guy I would support.
	Correct.
	Well, I mean, correct, was an intern in the Hillary Clinton White House.
	What?
	I think was an intern for Clinton and worked for Hillary Clinton in the White House.
	Wait a minute, wait a minute.
	It's not Monica Lewinsky.
	No, no, he was a lifelong Democrat until he recently switched to the Republican Party.
	Nice.
	But an open Senate seat in the state of Pennsylvania, which this is a seat that's been in Republican control for 62 years.
	I mean, an open Senate seat attracts all types.
	Including Democrats.
	Look, exactly.
	Exactly.
	This is precisely the problem with politics in Washington, D.C.
	Too many politicians.
	Too many wannabe politicians and not enough leaders.
	And, you know, I can take these attacks.
	I signed up for this stuff, but my children didn't.
	And at any rate, it's not going to hurt my campaign.
	We're going to win the primary, and we're going to win the general, man.
	And in doing so, we're going to save this country.
	The bottom line is this.
	The Democrats, the radical left, they know that there is no pathway to the majority in the Senate without the state of Pennsylvania.
	So they are going to do what they have always done, and attack relentlessly, and smear people's personal character, and do whatever they can to win.
	But it's not going to work against me.
	It's not going to work, period.
	And what Republicans who are listening to this program need to know is that they want us, the radical left, the Democrats, they want us fighting one another.
	And we cannot allow that to happen.
	We need to stand together.
	We need to stand unified and know that everything is on the line in 2022.
	Everything.
	And as long as we stand together, we win.
	Sean, you and I are both former Army officers.
	We've both been through a lot of course of action briefing.
	Let's walk through how you're going to win in Pennsylvania because the audience on America First is pretty sophisticated and wants to get down to brass tacks.
	We have talked about mitigating fratricide by not falling for the scam of fake Republicans.
	Let's talk about how you're going to win in a state that's been slightly trending Republican, but has a huge Democrat background.
	First of all, election integrity.
	What are you and the Republicans doing to ensure election integrity in the Commonwealth of PA?
	Well, so first of all, let me just acknowledge everyone's fears about them.
	I mean, Governor Wolf in 2020 used COVID to unilaterally change election law here in Pennsylvania, Kurt, which means for mail-in ballots, he removed signature verification, removed postmark requirement, he removed any semblance of a deadline for those ballots.
	At the exact same time, Mark Zuckerberg and all those Zuckerbucks dumped millions of dollars in Pennsylvania to fund unsupervised drop boxes in heavily Democrat areas.
	There's no question that our governor changed the rules in the middle of the game.
	The fight was not fair.
	But what I would tell your listeners, who you're right, are very sophisticated, but even with our backs up against the wall, even with Governor Wolf changing all the rules and using COVID to do it, we acknowledge that it wasn't fair to...
	Two Republicans in 2020, still one statewide office.
	In fact, and this is the most important empirical stat that I can give your listeners, the congressional Republicans in a 9-9 delegation, right?
	Nine Democrats, nine Republicans.
	Congressional Republicans amassed over 85,000 more votes than congressional Democrats.
	There is not just me on this show saying that we're going to win.
	There is an empirical path to victory.
	And so now we have every Republican elected official.
	Some are more hot on the topic than others, I'll admit.
	But almost every Republican elected official, independents and Republicans across the board are laser focused on the issue of voter integrity.
	You have Representative Seth Grove in the legislature who just reintroduced a bill to Governor Wolf that would provide for voter ID.
	Governor Wolf initially vetoed that bill, and then two months later said he was for voter ID.
	Will Seth Grove just reintroduce that bill to get it in front of him?
	We'll see how that works.
	But the bottom line is, like, we're going to win because we're getting more votes than the Democrats.
	And that's why I just say over and over and over again, if Republicans are united in this state, we win.
	We win.
	So we cannot allow ourselves to be fractured.
	And that's exactly what the Democrats want, and that's what they're trying to do with these attacks against me.
	Sean Parnell, running for Senate in Pennsylvania, you have a tactical problem.
	You have Philadelphia and Pittsburgh, these urban areas that come out blue, blue, blue.
	What are you doing to crack that blue cycle?
	I don't expect you to get a majority, but as we've seen from Donald Trump, Minority voters are open to talking to Republicans, to listening to them, and to voting for them in great numbers.
	How are you going to go into these urban areas and get these non-traditional Republican voters who, frankly, have been getting a raw deal from the Democrats that they've supported for so long?
	Oh, well, there's no question.
	I think there are a lot of issues that we can advocate for that they will support.
	I mean, I think school choice It's an important one in Pennsylvania.
	It's something that's important to folks out in rural communities.
	It's important to people in the inner cities, but also having a strong message on the economy and jobs.
	So if you look at, we've had four months of lackluster job growth now under Joe Biden.
	We've had the light inflation, the likes of which this country hasn't seen in almost 20 years.
	The producer price index has been through the roof for the last two months alone.
	Every time people go to the grocery store, things are outrageously expensive.
	Every time they fill up their car, things are outrageously expensive.
	So I think going into those communities and saying, we're going to do everything we can to allow you to keep more of your own money, to make sure that you have a job where you can put food on the table for your family.
	We're going to do everything that we can to get the government the heck out of the way so that you can chart your own path, which means provide for your family and a future for your children.
	I would also say, again, because I like to back up what I talk about empirically, if you look at the DA's race, the Democrat primary this year, you had Krasner, who's a radical progressive, versus Vega, who's a more moderate Democrat.
	Well, I think Krasner beat him pretty good, like 63 to 37 or something.
	But there are 37% of Democrats talking police officers, we're talking firefighters, we're talking pro-life, pro-gun Democrats.
	We know where that 37% exists now.
	Those are our people.
	Like, we can make a case to those people saying, if you believe in America, the exceptionalism of this country, and you want to provide for a future for your children, stand with us.
	Join us in our ranks and fight with us and let's win.
	If we even peel off 1 or 2% in Philadelphia, I mean, pop the champagne, Pennsylvania's over, we win.
	And that's what we're going to try to do.
	Sean, I know you personally.
	The people on America First, most of them probably haven't had a chance to meet with you, though I think you're probably shaking every hand you encounter in the Keystone State.
	I know what kind of guy you are, but frankly, Republicans have been burned.
	We're the abused wives of American politics.
	We elect somebody who talks...
	You know what?
	somebody who talks a good game during the election, gets to Washington and falls under the swamp spell.
	How can we be sure that you're not going to turn into another swamp creature?
	I think I know the answer, but I'll lob that softball to you to hit out of the park.
	Well, you know what?
	It's like a pertinent question, you know.
	In fact, every Republican running for office should be asked this question.
	This job is not about representing a political party or an establishment, right?
	This job is about representing the people and representing the state of Pennsylvania.
	And I think in a state like Pennsylvania, especially, it requires someone that has the courage to stand up to our party when they're wrong and say, no, I'm not going to support What you're doing.
	I think the infrastructure bill in the Senate, the 1.2 million dollar infrastructure bill in the Senate is a perfect example of that.
	I'm a no vote on that all day long.
	Excellent, Sean Parnell.
	Sean, I'm sorry, we're out of time and you've got hands to shake.
	Go win the Senate seat in Pennsylvania.
	Sean Parnell, everybody.
	I'm Kurt Schlichter, guest hosting for the great Dr. Seb Gorka here on America First.
	Stick around.
	I've got J.D.
	Vance coming up.
	All right.
	You like that?
	I thought that was good.
	Sean, you still there?
	No, he's gone.
	I thought that was good.
	Yes.
	I agree.
	I don't think I was asking the questions everybody else asked.
	No.
	Why would I?
	Is that fun?
	Who wants to ask the redundant questions?
	Well, look, our guys are, like, sophisticated.
	I mean, people out there are going, yeah, yeah, yeah, I know you say you're conservative.
	I need to know voter registration rates in the, you know, in the western Pennsylvania.
	How many new registrations have you had for Republicans?
	People are like, what?
	I actually was gonna ask him that.
	I know he knows the answer.
	Those numbers are interesting to watch.
	This was one thing that an article was written about how Democrats in Florida are freaking out because Republicans in Florida are about to outnumber registered Democrats for the first time ever.
	And they're like, well, if we lost Florida when Democrats had more voters, then what does this mean for Oh, and we aren't going to have less vote or fewer voters, I guess, for very much longer.
	Yeah.
	Because they're coming around.
	I admittedly was kind of looking at some of those numbers just the other day, and I saw that in, I think, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin in particular, in the 2020 House elections, Republican candidates for House across both states all got more votes than Democrats did.
	So it's kind of interesting to see.
	If that translates next time around, then I get it.
	Dealing with these voter fraud issues properly.
	It's kind of weird because I have a number of friends who are running all over the country.
	I've got to figure out where I'm going to spend election night.
	That's a good problem.
	That's a good problem to have.
	Well, you guys are a little young, but on Y2K, I was between girlfriends, so I had like 20 of them.
	And the way I got out of having to figure out who I was going to hang out with that night was I volunteered to be the operations officer for the National Guard response.
	So I was, like, in an army base with army guys on Y2K.
	So I didn't have to tell, like, Girl 1, Girl 2, I can't, uh... No, I'm not going out with you.
	I'm going out with the brunette.
	You had your cake and you ate it, too.
	Congratulations.
	Oh, I love cake.
	Say Santa Navarro.
	Florida would be a pretty safe bet, I imagine.
	We got a minute 40.
	Oh, boy.
	If my preferred candidate wins the nomination in Ohio, then I would definitely like to be in Ohio.
	Is JD on?
	Jeff's calling him right now.
	I'll let you know when I bring him up.
	I am actually, true story, I am reading his book right now.
	Friend of mine lent me her copy of it.
	Fifty Shades of Grey?
	My mom had actually seen the movie, the Netflix movie, Hillbilly Elegy, but she hasn't read the book.
	But I have always wanted to read the book.
	I have not enjoyed a book this much in a good amount of time.
	It's a really good book.
	Parts of it are sad, but man, it is an incredible story.
	My books are better.
	More shooting.
	More liberal bashing.
	No, probably not.
	J.D.
	was a Marine, so he's okay with it.
	Yeah.
	40 seconds.
	We got 40.
	We haven't quite got him up yet, so... Jeff just texted him.
	We'll let you know when he's on.
	I can figure it.
	I'm all talking to you here.
	Come on, player.
	Pick up.
	He just said to call him again, so... Okay.
	Alright.
	We'll get him on.
	Alright, we got 20 seconds.
	20 seconds.
	Standby.
	I don't know if I'm going to keep him for the next segment, I don't know.
	true yeah i know yeah all right i'll tell you when he's on uh i don't know if i'm gonna keep him for the next segment he said he needs like 10 seconds that's all all right 10 seconds stand we are back on america first with dr seb gorka
	i'm I am guest host Kurt Schlichter, senior columnist at townhall.com, noted Los Angeles trial lawyer, author of the Kelly Turnbull series of novels, retired United States Army colonel, and a proud son of Ohio.
	And I have another proud son of Ohio with me.
	I've texted with him, I've DM'd with him, I've watched his salty Twitter feed, He is running for Senate in the great state of Ohio.
	He is a Marine.
	He is J.D.
	Vance.
	J.D., how are you doing?
	Good, Kurt.
	Thanks for having me in.
	Hey, I'm glad you took the time to come here.
	We're talking to a lot of folks, America First folks, who are running for office.
	And I've kind of made that the theme of the show.
	Why is it so important that the America First voice be heard in Washington?
	Because you seem to embody it.
	Yeah, well, you know, great to be here.
	And I guess, you know, the way that I think about this is we have seen the left effectively take over every institution in our country.
	It's unfortunately not just the government, the bureaucracy, it's also the biggest corporations, it's the media, it's the academy, it's the big tech companies.
	And what we really need in 2021 and beyond is the conservatism that's fighting for our own voters and actually serving their interests and serving their interests against some of the oligarchs in government and in the private sector who are making it harder for them to live good lives.
	I mean, you know, just I think the current example that's hot in the news right now, I sort of think about my approach to conservatism is these vaccine mandates.
	And I think a lot of folks look at these vaccine mandates and say, well, if the private sector, there's nothing that we can do.
	I think at the end of the day, if you're not willing to push back against what's going on right now, and use the constitutional republic that we have, that the founders gave us to push back against this stuff, you know, what's the point?
	What are we actually doing?
	Well, that's a great question, J.D.
	Vance.
	What are we doing if we're not using the power to protect Americans, particularly American workers?
	You look at what's happening with Southwest Airlines, the Los Angeles firefighters, and a whole bunch of other people who are resisting this infringement on human rights driven by corporations.
	You know, what good is our country?
	You are famously the author of Hillbilly Elegy.
	You came from a tough upbringing.
	I mean, I remember my first job was mopping out a toilet at Carl's Jr., and frankly, I don't want any Republicans who never mopped out a toilet or got in a fistfight.
	You know, why is it so important to have the kind of voice that you would bring to Washington, heard in Washington?
	Well, yeah, it's interesting.
	I think part of it is that it's important for us to have leaders who can at least identify and have a little bit of understanding of where their voters are coming from.
	And I think it's one of the great things about our party and one of the movements in our party is that we are, I think, thanks to Donald Trump and also thanks to a lot of other trends, we're becoming the party of the American worker, not the party of big finance, not the party of big tech, not the party of the permanent bureaucracy.
	And so if that is the party that we're becoming, and I think we are, it's good to have leaders who actually understand where folks actually came from.
	And look, one of the weird things that we have going on in our economy right now, I was just meeting with some voters in Geauga County, Ohio, talking about this, is that you have an entire leadership class in this country that thinks that the economy is all consulting, banking, accounting, law.
	You and I both went to law school.
	I've got nothing against lawyers.
	I do.
	Well, fine.
	They're parasites!
	Get rid of them!
	But at the end of the day, you've got to have an underlying real economy, right?
	You have to make the making of goods, the shipping of goods from point A to point B, you're building things.
	That's where all of this other stuff is built on top of it.
	And I really think of our movement as defending the people who work with their hands and actually work in the real economy.
	We're not just a service sector economy.
	We can't be a service sector economy.
	And the people who work with their hands, you know, they're not as woke.
	They're more patriotic.
	They care about their country.
	They don't want their children learning the critical race theory in the schools.
	And those people, those are our people.
	They need representation.
	We've got to do a better job of serving them.
	Absolutely, J.D.
	Vance.
	These are the people who feed this country, fuel it, who built it, and who defended it.
	And they're being treated like garbage.
	Now, look, you're a Marine, so you're used to tough questions, and I'm going to ask you one.
	One of the hits on you that your opponents throw at you is that you were Trump-questioning early on, as I was.
	I was the guy who went on CNN going, He's a real estate developer from New York.
	He's not a real conservative.
	That was me.
	And I changed my mind because he kept his word.
	And he did the conservative thing.
	I've never had a politician who kept his word.
	You've changed too.
	Talk about that.
	Yeah, that's exactly right.
	I mean, you know, I voted the first time in 2004, absentee from a Marine Corps base in North Carolina for George W. Bush.
	I voted for John McCain in 2000.
	in A and I voted for Romney in 2012. - And I want my Romney vote back. - Yeah, exactly.
	And I look back on those guys and I think back on those votes.
	I was so sick of politicians and the assumption that every person that we put forward was ultimately gonna be a disappointment.
	And I think I let that color my view of Trump a little bit and I should have recognized that he was actually unlike all those guys.
	And that's what made him special. - But you did.
	You got new evidence, and you changed your mind.
	Exactly.
	Like I did.
	Yeah, exactly.
	And then, you know, you actually see him perform, and importantly, You see how insane the left was?
	I think one of the great things about Trump's presidency, it's not just a policy achievement, but I think he revealed something about how insane the left had gone in this country, and I think he just revealed it for what it was, and I think really drew the battle line that are going to influence and affect us for the next generation.
	Well, J.D., here's a question that I'm asking everybody running for office, as I guest host here on America First.
	We are very used to Republicans talking a great game out on the campaign trail, and they go to Washington, and they disappoint us.
	They become part of the swamp.
	How will you keep from becoming a swamp creature if the people of Ohio decide to send you to the Senate?
	Yeah, great question, and I guess, you know, I won't reveal who told me this, but maybe the Senator in B.C.
	who I think the highest once told me that You know, you're influenced by the people you surround yourself with.
	And I think the big problem with the swamp, it's not that everybody who goes to D.C.
	is a bad person or is a scumbag.
	It's that they surround themselves with the wrong people.
	Like they surround themselves with lobbyists.
	They surround themselves with Hill staffers.
	At the end of the day, if you spend all your time with those people, you start to become like them.
	I think the thing that I really do recognize is that if I can surround myself With my family, with fellow Christians, with people of goodwill and patriotism.
	That's, I think, how you avoid getting sucked up in that game.
	You can't have dinner with lobbyists.
	No matter how good of a person you are, you can't have a dinner with a lobbyist six days a week and expect to be a good person on the other end.
	Well, J.D.
	Vance, we've only got about 30 seconds.
	What is the one thing you would most want to accomplish going to Washington, D.C.?
	Should the people of our, you know, both of our home state, Ohio, choose to select you?
	Yeah, there's a lot of long-term stuff I worry about.
	But look, I feel like the house is on fire with this immigration crisis, and we've got to put out the fire before we fix anything else.
	I mean, the amount of fentanyl, the amount of dope, the amount of crime that's coming across our southern border, it is going to destroy the state that I love if we don't get a handle on it.
	A lot of damage has unfortunately already been done.
	We've got to stop the bleeding.
	So the southern border crisis, we've got to finish the wall, put more border patrol agents on the border, stop this bleeding while we can.
	A lot of great common sense from my fellow Ohioan, J.D.
	Vance.
	Running for Senate.
	Give him a look.
	Think it over.
	Measure.
	Test.
	See if he earns your vote.
	This is America First with Dr. Seb Gorka.
	I'm your guest host, Kurt Schlichter.
	But in there.
	JD's still there?
	Thank you.
	What do you guys think?
	We're halfway through the show.
	What do you think?
	Yeah, we're rolling.
	I'm loving this focus on 2022.
	It really reminds me of what the most important thing is.
	I got that six minute block.
	Yep.
	Better think of something to talk about, huh?
	There's no shortage of topics.
	Hot topics.
	Oh, I think we got to talk about Indigenous Peoples Day.
	Oh, yes.
	I think we got to talk about that.
	Celebrating the conquest of North America.
	The Great Land Bridge.
	The indigenous people.
	Indigenous people.
	The Pangea.
	Oh, yeah, yeah.
	You know, I don't think so stupid.
	Talk about, you know.
	Like indigenous people need a bunch of nerds from Santa Monica.
	I'm like, I support you.
	It's like, yeah, just stay the hell away.
	It's just like goose.
	Dr. G always talks about, he talks about how people support, you know, these crazy, radical Islamic people without even understanding what they think or why they think it.
	So I think it's a smaller version of the same thing.
	You say, oh yeah, I support indigenous people.
	What about them do you support?
	Which indigenous people?
	Because they're not all the same.
	It was like, I, you know, I was the guy, you remember the, uh, Kurds didn't help us at Normandy.
	I actually wrote that.
	Of course, it's mistaken.
	And it was like, they're like, Karen wants to abandon the Kurds.
	And I'm like, what are the Kurds?
	do you think there's just like one group of dudes who are kurds or do you think it is a ethnic group with a wide variety of it's like latinx people okay latin folks are not the same yeah if you go to my wife who is of cuban descent and ask are are you the same as someone from guatemala Hm.
	How could that be?
	How could that be?
	Our culture is different.
	Our, you know, everything, you know, our accent's different.
	We have a different way of seeing.
	I'm from an island.
	Or even ask, like, ask how Chinese people feel about Japanese people or vice versa.
	Oh, my God.
	You know, anyone who tells me that they're not racist immediately makes me suspicious that they're, like, totally racist.
	They secretly do feel that way.
	They just... You're about 30 seconds, by the way.
	Yeah, I don't, I mean, it's like, I don't have to say it.
	Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
	All right.
	Give me that back.
	That's mine.
	All right.
	Oh, I just realized that.
	Oh, you got 20 seconds.
	So I got a little six minute hit.
	Oh, yeah.
	Let it rip.
	And then net after that.
	I'll keep my eye on the dump button.
	I might get stirred up.
	Alright, let's go.
	10 seconds.
	Stand by.
	And we are back.
	Back on America First.
	With Dr. Seb Gorka, I'm Kurt Schlichter.
	You're a guest host today.
	Who am I?
	I'm the senior columnist at Town Hall.
	That's who.
	I'm a noted trial lawyer here in Los Angeles from whence I am broadcasting.
	I am a retired United States Army colonel.
	Infantry, not a judge advocate.
	Let's not go down that road, folks.
	That's just a bad place to go.
	I am also the author of the Kelly Turnbull series of conservative action novels.
	There's six of them, starting with People's Republic, America Splits in Two, Antics in Sioux, Also, and perhaps most important, my favorite caliber is .45.
	So, let's talk about today, because today's a very special day.
	If you're an American, it is Columbus Day.
	If you are a liberal, as opposed to an American, it is whatever the hell Indigenous Peoples Day is.
	And if you are just a contrary kind of person, it is a celebration of the conquest of North America by Europe Day.
	So it's all these things.
	Why are people going and relitigating something that happened, you know, 500 years ago?
	That is, the Europeans really discovering the continent of North America.
	Now, some of the Scandinavian, the Viking guys, they had an understanding that there was something out there, you know, northern Canada, which I'm not sure really counts.
	But Europe itself, really became aware that there was this big continent out there in about 1492, thanks to Columbus.
	And Columbus takes the Nina, Pinta, and Santa Maria.
	Hey, I remember them!
	And he sails out there and he discovers America.
	Well, you didn't discover it!
	There were people there already!
	Why are liberals so tiresome?
	Oh, I know!
	It's because they're liberals.
	And why do they assume That we should, 500 years later, apologize for a historic migration, and frankly conquest, from the North American people, or European people, to North America.
	Now, the Europeans also went into South America.
	That's South America's problem.
	They got the Aztecs, they got the Incas, there are a lot of antics down there.
	I'm not talking about that.
	Let's focus on North America.
	Europe colonized North America and then the European colonists conquered North America through wars and through violence.
	That is simply a fact.
	How do we deal with historical facts like adults instead of like Wellesley sophomores?
	Well, you understand that history is a series of conquests.
	Rome, for instance.
	Heck, let's go back to the Assyrians, who used to skin people alive.
	They were not particularly friendly people.
	Their civilization rose, they conquered a bunch of people, they fell.
	A variety of civilizations rose and fell.
	The Romans rose from a dusty little village on seven hills near the Tiber, in the middle of Italy, and they rose to conquer the world.
	You know, they competed with Carthage.
	Carthage lost that competition decisively.
	And they conquered much of the known world, including going up and fighting with my great, great, great, great times 50 ancestors, who were Germans, because the name Schlichter, well, it's like from Stuttgart or something, Bavaria somewhere.
	Stuttgart's in Baden-Württemberg, not Bavaria.
	And then the Germans came down, After being largely conquered by the Romans, they came down and conquered Rome.
	It is a cycle, folks.
	History is a cycle.
	And to go back and childishly attempt to undo it somehow, attempt to apologize for something you had nothing to do with, but who you live the results... I mean, we're all living the consequence of the conquest of North America.
	Would you undo that if you could?
	Who cares?
	Because you can't.
	We are where we are.
	And our challenge as Americans, whether descended from indigenous people or descended from Europeans or descended from other people or descended from a mixture of those, which is increasingly becoming more true as the outdated concept of race and ethnicity fades away, The idea is to face the future with the values of our founding fathers.
	Which are to understand that God created every human being, no matter what label you put on, with individual rights and individual dignity.
	And that to have the moral authority to govern, a government must have the consent of the people, and a government must be reigned in to respect the natural rights of all people.
	That's how we attack history.
	That's how we challenge history.
	That's how we must read history.
	Not to be trying to undo the past, but to make a better future.
	I'm Kurt Schlichter.
	This is America First.
	We will be right back with Ned Ryan.
	There we go.
	I thought that was okay.
	Oh yeah.
	That was good.
	It's funny how the moral relativists, you know, they don't, they somehow don't see the equation there.
	Are our mics on?
	Mics are on.
	I, yeah, I just find it stupid for somebody who's like, you know, living in Manhattan Beach, uh, to be like, oh, this town was taken by, taken from indigenous people.
	Okay.
	And, I mean, really, what are you doing besides posing?
	Every land was taken from somebody.
	I don't know what you do.
	Or, you know, they don't have a concept of land ownership, too, was the big part.
	It was like a lot of tribes just didn't even, you know, didn't think about property in that way.
	And that way of thinking works pretty well.
	In other words, the Native American world was a libertarian's hell.
	They're sitting around, smoking dope.
	But no property rights.
	You know, talking about the Federal Reserve and the gold standard.
	Never getting laid.
	Making friends with females.
	But it's all about race.
	That's what it is.
	It's just about like, you know, like history in college is all just how were white people bad in this era of history.
	And it's the same thing with Indigenous Day.
	But I just love that.
	Yeah, it's stupid.
	And focusing on race in a historic way is strange.
	I'd like to know what race my kids are.
	Because my wife's Hispanic.
	I'm German-Scottish.
	What peg do my kids get in if I would allow you to put them in a pegboard?
	Which I will not let you do.
	Because it's stupid, and it's un-American, and it's un-Christian, and I will have no part of it.
	Yeah, but the left, that's what they do.
	They'll go after- Yeah, because they think it gives them an edge.
	Well, that's what just happened.
	California just became the first state to mandate ethnic studies for high school.
	It's now required for public high schools in California.
	Well, having a teenager in California schools, I know they won't listen, so I'm not, like, really worried.
	Might that be a bit divisive, you know?
	People learning about race constructs in a time where you've sort of melded a lot of different races together for hundreds of years.
	I remember when I was in the army and we would have, you know, events.
	We'd have balls and stuff.
	And your spouse would come with you.
	And it was unusual to have someone with a spouse of exactly the same ethnic group.
	I mean, unusual.
	I mean, like, maybe a quarter of the time.
	It wasn't something anyone talked about, and I probably wouldn't have noticed if I hadn't started doing political commentary and being exposed to people telling us what a bunch of racists we were.
	But I'm looking at him going, these guys don't care.
	Why would anyone care?
	Because they're stupid.
	I'm on the phone right now.
	People who care are stupid.
	Hi Ned, how are you doing?
	I care.
	You care?
	You're full of care.
	About so many different things.
	You know who I care about?
	The worker.
	The unionized worker who's being oppressed by corporate Democrat human rights violations.
	Yeah, and the people that are funding the Democratic Party.
	You want to know the amazing part too?
	I was informed that the corporations were for Republicans by the Chamber of Commerce.
	Hey man, I may need to keep you for three minutes after the break.
	on the Republican Party.
	I was informed that the corporations were for Republicans by the Chamber of Commerce.
	Yeah, exactly.
	No, I mean, it's pretty amazing the realignment of politics that's taking place.
	Hey, man, I may need to keep you for three minutes after the break.
	Is that okay?
	I've got to get my son to football practice, but what time would I get off?
	Uh.
	Uh, the hour.
	Yeah, we can make it.
	Alright, 10 seconds.
	Alright.
	Standby.
	by you know isn't football practice a little cisgender we're back on the seb gorka's america first i I am guest host Kurt Schlichter.
	I am joined by a good friend of mine, a guy who knows more, who has forgotten more about politics than any of us will ever know.
	His name is Ned Ryan, and Ned, what are your pronouns?
	Amazing, manly, I don't know.
	Those are adjectives.
	Nobody does this right.
	Those are adjectives.
	Ned, you... You know why?
	Because we're not conditioned to use pronouns.
	Well, exactly, because they're stupid.
	Yeah, exactly.
	I mean, look, if you have he and her, you've pretty much got all the pronouns you need.
	If you start making them up... I just...
	Oh, it's so baffling to me.
	And I think it's baffling to most normal people.
	And one of the things you do as a political analyst is look at normal people and compare them to what the idiots in Washington think.
	And what are you seeing right now?
	What are normal people thinking looking at Washington based on your extensive research?
	Well, I think you're seeing something where a lot of people are realizing things can go very bad very quickly.
	I mean, we're only nine months into this Grandpa Dementia's presidency, and it's incredible how things can go sideways in a hurry when you don't have sensible adults who have all of their faculty still in place in charge.
	And I think a lot of people out there, and we're seeing this, I think, across party lines, where you're seeing, you know, Democrats, 40% of Democrats thought it'd be okay to impeach Biden.
	I mean, this is within eight months of him being, this is last month, eight months of him being elected.
	40% of the Democrat-based voters thought it was all right for him to be impeached over the entire Afghanistan debacle.
	So you're seeing this shift, not just, I mean, Republicans are already there, but you're seeing this shift among independents, but even among the Democratic Party.
	It's like, we didn't sign up for this.
	We didn't sign up for inflation.
	We didn't sign up for the Afghanistan debacle.
	We didn't sign up for this complete disaster on the southern border.
	And, you know, I told my wife today, I'm like, we're not anywhere near the bottom.
	for where we could be if we continue down this path with Biden.
	So, you know, strap it on, people, because I think we've got a lot more tough times ahead on a variety of fronts.
	Well, Ned Ryan, my town hall column on Wednesday for you VIPs, use the promo code KURT, K-U-R-T, is exactly that.
	We haven't hit bottom yet, but, you know, the Krusty in Chief, Commander in Chief, is Just as bad as we were.
	It's kind of, you know, it kind of we were guys like you and me were warning America.
	Hey, this guy is going to be a disaster.
	And he's fulfilled all our predictions in spades.
	It's remarkable.
	Really?
	Well, no, I remember this was a couple of days.
	This was right before the last debate, just a few days before the election.
	And I was doing a hit with Tucker.
	And I remember these words very clearly, Kurt, in which I said, If Biden is elected, it's a descent into darkness.
	And it really has kind of long, you know, come true.
	I mean, when you think about how, where we were with Trump and the economy and things were going, and then all of a sudden, wow, you can descend into darkness very quickly.
	And my hope is that the American people are starting to wake up.
	I hope they continue to wake up in time that we get to the 2022 elections and go, okay, You're not on the ticket, Biden, but we're going to punish you in the House and the Senate races, but even more so, Kurt, I hope that they punish him November 2nd.
	This November 2nd here in Virginia, when they start to equate and realize, Terry McAuliffe and all these Democrats that are up for election here in Virginia, obviously Murphy in New Jersey, hey, we can't punish Biden now, but we could punish everybody that's associated with him and set the tone.
	And I hope that happens here in Virginia and New Jersey, because I think enough of the American people are going Wait, we had it actually pretty good.
	And this is the other thing.
	I know you tweet this out.
	I tweeted out, too.
	Boy, I could sure use a few more mean tweets right now for lower gas prices, lower costs of everything, for not being a disaster in Afghanistan, for actually having, you know, at least strived for securing our southern border.
	We could sure use a few mean tweets right now.
	Oh, give me more mean tweets.
	Look, right now President Asterisk is polling somewhere under Chlamydia and over the Lincoln Project.
	Is there any way to turn this around for him?
	I mean, if you were hit on the head and became a liberal, and you were asked to go advise, you know, Grandpa Badfinger, and you have advised President Trump, if you suddenly were responsible for him.
	I mean, not his normal daily things of finding his slipper and making sure he doesn't wear his cowboy jammies to the Oval Office.
	If you were advising him, how would you advise him to turn this around?
	Or can it even be done?
	No, they can't.
	This is all intentional.
	I mean, from step one, whether it was, you know, energy policy and shutting down the Keystone Pipeline, you know, removing all of Trump's policies on the southern border and immigration, This has been intentional every step of the way.
	People think, well, surely they'll wake up and realize the disaster that they've made.
	No, no, this is all intentional.
	And honestly, Kurt, you have to sit back and go, People doing this in such an intentional fashion must really hate this country, as the founders intended.
	And guess what?
	They do.
	The un-American left hates this country.
	Joe Biden is merely an empty husk for them to drive their crazy views.
	And I think enough people are going to go, wait a minute, we signed up for, you know, Uncle Joe, kind of a moderate.
	He was going to unify this country.
	And instead, all that he's done is taken basically embraced the far left and said, I'll do whatever you want.
	And that's, you know, there is no way to recover from this because it is all intentional.
	Do you think that Joe Biden, Ned Ryan, would have gone as far left as he has and taken the risk?
	Even if he was able to run again, he's just not going to win.
	Would he have taken this risk if he wasn't, you know, manifestly senile?
	Because let's face it, the guy's a mess.
	You know, it feels very much like this has been the pinnacle of his whole entire life, his political career, that he wanted to be in the White House and be the President of the United States, and he's basically willing to do anything and accept any deal on any level for him to get into the White House and try and stay in power.
	I just don't see this ending well, Kurt.
	I've said it before, I'll say it again, I'm fully convinced he will not finish his first term.
	Me too.
	I think they're trying to get him through the midterms.
	At that point, they'll have a really tough decision.
	You know, what do they do about Kamala Harris?
	Do they put her in as president?
	Because I think she's even more of a disaster.
	I think if this is even conceivable, Kurt, I think they have found somebody that's even more unlikable than Hillary Clinton, and that is a very rare and special talent that Kamala Harris has.
	And then all of a sudden, you're looking at Kamala Harris versus, I would like to think, President Trump in 2024.
	I think he'll, like, annihilate her.
	Well, Ned Ryan, I want you to stick around for a couple minutes on the other side.
	I want to talk to you about the potential for the president to run again, because I've come around to the notion that I think he's going to do it.
	This is America First with Dr. Seb Gorka.
	Stick around.
	We'll be right back.
	Okay.
	Mics are on during the breaks.
	All right.
	Oh yeah, I'll bring it up.
	I'll throw out how I have come to the conclusion that I think he's running and I'll toss it to you and you can share Uh, the unconfidential parts of your convo with the president.
	Yeah.
	Yeah, and I'll also say you're not raising 109 million just to go back to play tiddlywinks, right?
	Like, there's intent, there's purpose.
	Makes you a kingmaker.
	So what happens when the president calls you up?
	Is it like, hey, Ned?
	How's it going?
	Sup?
	Hey, Ned.
	It's your favorite president.
	How you doing?
	Good, sir.
	This morning, he didn't even introduce me.
	I was like, hey, it's Meg.
	He didn't introduce himself because he knew... What comes up on the phone?
	Just 45?
	No, it's a West Palm Beach number.
	It's either the president or a guy trying to sell you an auto warranty.
	Well, it's pretty funny.
	He just went right into it.
	He knew I knew who it was.
	He was like, did I wake you up?
	I'm like, no sir, I'm in the middle of a workout.
	More than happy to, you know, talk to you.
	What's going on?
	Can I finish my set?
	Working out so bad for your bones, man.
	He's like, I just, I just, you know, that's why I'm in such good health.
	And boy, I really should talk to your dad about this, you know, because you should really think about it.
	It could be, it could damage your health.
	I'm like, ah, sir, we're way past that.
	I think I'm kind of screwed already.
	Then we started talking about life.
	Oh, that's hilarious.
	All right.
	I hope his phone scrambled because I don't want somebody listening in on that.
	Who knows?
	One minute.
	I know.
	You still stand by your preferences for Trump's VP, Kurt?
	Rick Rennell?
	Oh yeah, I'm all Rick Rennell.
	Yeah.
	I don't think it'll happen.
	It's the governor in Iowa.
	Kim Reynolds?
	Yeah, Kim Reynolds.
	I think she fits the bill.
	Interesting.
	A woman would definitely help, I think.
	Battleground State-ish.
	Yeah.
	And would never steal any limelight from them.
	Wait, who was that?
	Who was that?
	No!
	10 seconds.
	Standby.
	Stand by. Stand by. Stand by.
	Well, that pulsating bumper music can mean only one thing.
	We have returned to America First with Dr. Seb Gorka.
	I am guest host Kurt Schlichter, and I am going to ask the question you guys are asking.
	I have come to the conclusion that Donald Trump is probably going to run for president in 2024.
	I didn't always think so.
	And my guest here, Ned Ryan of American Majority, had a chat with the president on the phone today.
	Ned, what happens when the president calls you?
	We have hilarious conversations.
	Hey, how's it going, man?
	It's the president.
	Basically, that's how it starts.
	I was in the middle of a workout this morning, and he's like, can I wake you up?
	I'm like, no, I'm in the middle of a workout.
	So we had a funny conversation, but no, I'm convinced, the same as you, Kurt, that he's running.
	You know, I've made the point, you don't raise $109 million into your super back today, you know, just to screw around and play tiddlywinks.
	It's with intent.
	It's with purpose.
	Um, you know, some of the stuff we talked about today, and I'll just keep it brief and kind of, you know, top level, I encourage them.
	I'm like, you know, so the things you need to be focused on between now and 2022 and 2024, you should invest time, money and resources into election integrity to make sure 2020 never happens again.
	And part of that includes legal challenges.
	It includes lobbying state legislators.
	It also includes heavily investing in some of these gubernatorial races in Wisconsin and Michigan and other places.
	Where we have the state legislatures, but we need the governor's office to be able to actually have real election reform, and I have encouraged him.
	You know, here in Virginia, I think Youngkin's got a great chance, but the only way you can have election reform, including photo ID, is for Youngkin to win and take back the House of Delegates.
	So, you know, we had a good chat about a variety of things, and I'm fully convinced I'd be stunned if he doesn't run again in 2024.
	I have been told, Ned Ryan, that the President, you know, despite he's kind of off the cuff when he talks and when he does rallies, but his understanding of the politics of even small jurisdictions is pretty encyclopedic.
	I mean, he has drilled down to the details.
	Is that the impression you get?
	He's got a much better knowledge of local politics than people get impressed for.
	He's got a, there's a reason that he won, what was it, 17 people in the 2016 primary.
	He's got a lot more skills as a politician and a lot more knowledge than people are willing to give him credit for.
	And he's got incredible senses and instincts when it comes to the actual politics of campaigning, but also understanding the dynamics.
	So I'm glad he's got a good team.
	I'm a huge admirer of Kyle.
	Ned, that's one of the hits on the President.
	He's had personnel issues in the past.
	Are we going to see some of the same faces who, frankly, were non-hackers last time in 2.0?
	I think you're going to see.
	I mean, imagine day one having Johnny McIntyre on TPO.
	He was put in the last eight, nine months.
	in the first term.
	And he killed it on personnel at the end.
	I mean, he was great.
	He killed it on personnel.
	I mean, if he gets personnel like having Johnny run PPO, and then having maybe Susie as the new RNC chair, and he makes some different decisions, I think we could have an amazing success.
	That is great.
	Ned Ryan of American Majority, thanks for telling us about your call with the President.
	Next time, merge me into the call.
	I got some stuff to tell the boss.
	This is Kurt Schlichter here on America First, sitting in for Dr. Seb Gorka.
	Be right back.
	Thank you.
	Thank you.
	Thank you.

	American Consequences
	Did you still build them a quarter hour?
	Mics are back on.
	What do you think?
	Alright, five minutes.
	Hey Jim, you there?
	He's not in studio yet.
	He can come in here if you want to talk to him.
	You want me to bring him in?
	You want us to bring him in so you can talk to him real quick?
	We've gone to four and a half minutes until the next segment.
	How's it going, Rumblers?
	I love that name.
	Rumble's a really good name.
	And the more that I think about it.
	Like, Rumblers is a fun term.
	Rumblers.
	That's getting old.
	Rumble.
	I know.
	The rumbling has passed.
	The rumbling, yeah.
	That's a different pop culture reference for me, but nevertheless.
	All right.
	All right.
	Alright, 3.50.
	A strange time update.
	Yeah.
	An update indeed.
	So what's the resolution going to look like on this?
	airline deal.
	You'll see.
	Yeah, because I don't say anything right now where they're like, oh, we've got to wait until it is.
	Don't get a waiver and you'll find out nine months ago they gave pilots a waiver.
	That's what will happen.
	I'm getting increasingly paranoid that something is going to go wrong before my flight and then I won't be able to go back home and that's going to be the worst feeling ever.
	I've missed so many family weddings for a variety of reasons, but this is the first one I will get to attend Unless... Unless... So you've actually been lucky?
	Aww, I wouldn't say that!
	It's not a lot of in-laws who say that.
	The question is, does the wedding have an open bar?
	That's the real question.
	There is!
	I met my wife at a wedding, by the way.
	I always wanted to say that.
	Hate the game.
	Hate the game, love the players, or vice versa?
	I don't know.
	I'm one of them.
	Speaking of that, I just saw the NBA is not budging on those mandates for indoors in San Francisco and in New York.
	Players who are not vaccinated are not going to be able to play there.
	Destroy yourselves.
	Couple high-profile guys, man.
	Couple high-profile guys are going to be out.
	Oh, goodness.
	That is not a winning maneuver there if you are a Brooklyn Nets fan.
	Oh, well.
	Might have to go back to New Jersey.
	Oh, my gosh.
	Man, we're two hours in already.
	That's crazy.
	We are!
	Oh gosh, I got Adam.
	66% of the way done.
	I got Adam already.
	I thought I was going to Jim.
	I can keep Jim for that second segment.
	Uh, yeah.
	Yes you can, if you so desire.
	Now I just gotta figure out when I'm gonna ditch out of here and go hit the head.
	Should have gone four minutes ago.
	But no, I had to bill.
	All right, we have one minute.
	One minute.
	One minute.
	You guys got Adam?
	Just dialing him up right now.
	I'll play one of those return liners, by the way.
	It's always fun.
	Some of the guys, I know Adam real well, but some of the other guys are like, well, you've got to talk to my comms person.
	I guess I'll say on a national radio show, I'm going to talk to who I want to talk to.
	If you want to be on it, you can freaking talk to me.
	I don't talk to comms people.
	I am the colonel.
	I talk to the commander.
	None of those guys today had to get that speech.
	But I've had it for other ones.
	I'm glad things are moving smoothly.
	Oh, and with Kristi, no.
	Freaking Corey blew me off.
	Wait, hang on.
	I was like, hey, I got a national show I'm doing.
	I want to have Kristi on.
	Call our comms first.
	Oh, wow.
	No.
	Ten seconds.
	No, I'm not going to do that.
	I don't think I will.
	I don't think you understand the changes.
	Stand by.
	I'm Sebastian Gorka, and this is America First with the one and only Kurt Schlichter.
	Thank you, Dr. Gorka.
	I am Kurt Schlichter.
	I am the guest host here on America First today.
	We've already had two hours of outstanding America First-ism.
	And we're keeping it real, folks, through 6 o'clock Eastern or 3 o'clock California time, where I am.
	I am out on the West Coast.
	Almost out on the West Coast.
	So close, yet so far from the beach, is the great state of Nevada.
	Nevada is a place near and dear to me because, after the election last year, Rick Grinnell gave me a call and said, Kurt, you're a lawyer.
	And I said, yes, I have a legal background.
	I am a noted Los Angeles trial lawyer.
	He says, we need you in Nevada.
	I got in my fine German touring sedan and hot-footed it to the Silver State.
	And when I got there, one of the guys on the ground was my next guest.
	He's now running for Senate.
	You'll recognize, oh, I don't quite have him yet.
	Any case, I head out to Nevada, and who do I find there?
	I find Adam Laxalt.
	Now, Adam Laxalt is the grandson of Paul Laxalt, who was a very, very close friend of President Reagan.
	I mean, they were this tight.
	And Paul Laxalt was a senator in Nevada for, gosh, ever.
	Now, I think I'm aging myself.
	Next you're going to go, do you remember Jimmy Carter?
	To which I respond, yes, I do remember Jimmy Carter, which is why everything seems so familiar right now.
	Nevada currently is represented by a Democrat whose name I never can remember.
	I mean, she literally is a nobody.
	She doesn't exist.
	She is a Schumer puppet.
	A Schumer creature.
	A reliable vote for the left.
	And you look at this, and there are a lot of these.
	These are the senators that you've never heard of.
	Now, we've all heard of Elizabeth Warren, and today, of course, being Indigenous Peoples Day, a very special day for Elizabeth Warren.
	This is her time to shine.
	Indigenous Peoples Day.
	Formerly known as Columbus Day.
	And yes, she does hold a grudge.
	Now, you know some of these senators.
	Look, I'm not a fan of Big Chief Warren.
	I'm not a fan of Chuck Schumer.
	I'm not a fan of that really dumb guy from Connecticut who pretended to have fought in the Tet Offensive and stuff and instead didn't.
	I think his name's Blumenthal.
	General Dick Blumenthal.
	Some of these guys are well-known.
	Who the hell is the senator up for election?
	I mean, I literally don't know.
	I think her first name is like Kathy.
	I don't know her.
	I don't see her.
	She's like one of the senators from Oregon.
	You know anybody the senator from Oregon?
	I don't know.
	I think Ron Wyden is one of them.
	In any case, these folks are nobodies.
	And we gotta put somebodies up against them.
	Because next year, we can run up the score.
	Now, speaking of running up the score, my next guy is Jim Hansen, former Weapons NCO, he worked for a living, in the Special Forces, and now, He does political stuff.
	All over the place.
	Jim.
	Curtis, how you doing, brother?
	Well, I've been better.
	You need some relief factor, man?
	I spent the weekend in the emergency room for the third week in a row.
	Aw, dude, your dogs?
	No, this time it's my dad.
	He's okay, everybody.
	He's fine.
	Thank you.
	By the way, I put up my dog.
	I put up, you know, how Bitey was in the hospital, and it turned out he had brain inflammation.
	You know, his brain got too big, which is not a problem a Democrat would have.
	And I put it up on Twitter and I get this like unbelievable wave of people praying for my dog, which I just thought, and me and Irina and the kids, and I thought that was just great.
	Americans are cool people.
	So why are you doing, and you know Americans very, very well.
	That's one of the things you do is analyze political trends.
	Why do the American people put up with these Democrats?
	I think because they've been lied to enough by the media that they're not really paying attention to what's going on.
	And the advantage right now is the Democrats have gotten so oppressive and so stupid about what they're doing that everyone noticed.
	You know, they were getting away with it for a long time, and so we let them get away with it.
	But now with all the mask mandates, vaccine mandates, you know, spying on parents at school boards, people can't ignore it anymore.
	So, you know, the boiling frog thing.
	A frog won't be aware he's being boiled if you do it slow enough.
	They start by boiling, then they throw you in and people are like, ah, $5 gas.
	Ah, humiliation in Afghanistan.
	Ah, President's a senile old pervert.
	And if you're not watching on Rumble, folks, you miss me acting out the, ah, humiliation.
	That was kind of like casting one of the guys on the Muppets.
	Like Kermit!
	There you go!
	Yeah, like Kermit.
	I know, me being Jim Hansen, I get a lot of crap about that on Twitter.
	People always want to go, oh, you were much funnier with the Muppets.
	I get it!
	It's the lamest pit in the world.
	The only time it's ever been funny is when a guy said, you were a lot more entertaining when you had your hand up a frog's butt.
	That's not bad, right?
	There we go.
	There we go, folks.
	The power of a non-commissioned officer to really cut to the chase, which is like being back in the Army and just going, oh dear God, why?
	Please don't let him cause an international incident.
	Please don't let him speak.
	Please don't let him brief.
	Oh God, no!
	Oh my gosh.
	Jim, you are also an expert in information operations.
	Which is leveraging various modes of communication to have an effect on an opponent.
	And we talk about this a lot.
	These guys are kind of their own information operation on how bad they suck, aren't they?
	And that's the really thing they're helping us with right now is because Biden's got the B team.
	You know, Jill Biden would not let Joe hire the quality loser Democrats that Obama had.
	She's a doctor.
	I mean, why do you need anybody else?
	No, but the thing is, so they're screwing up by the numbers, and they used to have, the pros doing this, used to have people much as I hate him, like that weaselly little turd Ben Rhodes, who was good at lying to the American people and the world.
	Now they've got people like Jen Psaki, who's not even good at lying to herself.
	So they've gone down in talent, they've gone overboard in what they're doing, and guess what?
	It's making them look like fools, and it's helping those of us who need to punch back.
	I don't understand why you would hire somebody like Jen Psaki to be the face of your administration.
	The freckle-faced fascist.
	She reminds everybody of the You know, mediocre roommate of the hot girl you're trying to date.
	Who's always busy, like, going... You guys aren't sleepy.
	Are you guys screwing in that bed?
	Stop that!
	What are you guys doing in there?
	And it's just, you know, and then...
	You come in and she's dumped, she's thrown out all the, you know, Chinese food you had the night before.
	Which was perfectly fine.
	For breakfast.
	Right.
	She's just the worst.
	I don't think, look, here's my, here is my theory.
	And it applies to Republicans too.
	We have far too many people in politics who have never mopped out a toilet.
	And we have far too many in politics who've never been in a fistfight and either won one or lost one or preferably both.
	I think it's absolutely true.
	There's an entire generation or two of leftists who were taught the world owes them something, who were taught that anyone who offends them is the one who is wrong, and who were taught that the world is a soft and gentle place where no one should ever make them feel bad.
	And now they're running into the reality of the fact that the world is a hellhole, and the only way it ever gets better is when people like you, me, and the listeners of this show carve out a little safe space for people to live in, and they're trying to destroy that.
	So I think we should stop them from doing that.
	I think that's what we should do.
	I agree.
	Look, I think one of the problems is one that you and I don't suffer from, because we both went through basic training, and we have an understanding that at some level we are dirt.
	And, you know, I mean, look, I was a suburban guy.
	I graduated from college by the time I went.
	And I had a bunch of drill sergeants, most of them from inner cities, at least one or two with Vietnam patches.
	Who had no use for attitude from any of the guys because none of us had proven nothing.
	Yeah.
	And you have exactly the opposite situation in with the kind of people.
	And Democrats understand this.
	You've read the Daniel Shore analysis of the problem, which is you got a bunch of, quote unquote, well-educated.
	That means they get the credential from a big college folks coming in and they don't understand real American people.
	They're giving you the hook.
	hey no not yet You're coming back for the next segment, is that okay?
	Oh yeah, oh hell yeah.
	Excellent.
	Then stick around.
	Oh yeah.
	All right, gentlemen, and the mics are on.
	Alright.
	Hey, let's talk about secret stuff that no one's supposed to know about.
	The two of you and Tim Young, the three of you should all have a conversation about your thoughts on Jen Psaki.
	Dear God.
	Dude, we did that at my house, didn't we?
	At one of those parties.
	Tim's a lunatic.
	I love that guy.
	Okay, so we're putting him on at 325?
	Or, I'm sorry, at 35 after the hour or 45 or whatever.
	Yes.
	At 45 after the hour.
	No, 35.
	At 35 after the hour, okay.
	All right, we got six minutes with him.
	Jim, I've been measuring time in bulwark wedding nights.
	Six minutes is seven wedding nights.
	That's like the pool boy, the cabana boy, and a couple of extra bulls just for grins, right?
	Well, the foreplay is actually begging, which a lot of people don't.
	It's funny because it's gravely insulting to them.
	And true.
	Those are the reasons it's funny.
	It's true and insulting.
	Those are the best.
	I like this.
	We gotta talk about the working man and how we're standing up for the unions.
	You guys got like real radio access.
	Play Working Man by Rush.
	That's on him.
	Kick us back in.
	That's John's job.
	Come on, John!
	Oh, you got, wait a minute!
	These bumper musics, I can influence the bumper music?
	If I can pull it up, yeah.
	I've got a couple, like most, all the ones I've been playing are pre-done.
	They're pre-edited to be a certain length, but... So it's too complicated for you to win?
	No, I can get it done.
	I'm gonna watch you.
	I'm eyeballing you right now.
	I've done it before, I can do it again.
	We gotta do a Love Will Tear Us Apart by Joy Division.
	I'll help by going... I think that'll...
	I think that'll make Dr. Gorka, if he hears Joy Division, he was in England at that time, I think.
	You're saying he killed Ian Curtis?
	He was probably, yeah, he was probably... We could make that, you know, did you hear that Seb Gorka is actually the one who called that?
	I remember attending a concert with the Buzzcocks!
	Ever fallen in love with someone who loves you?
	Why, she's a girl from the chain store.
	There we go.
	Alright, I'll be ready to go.
	That's my Seb Gorka doing the Buzzcocks for you.
	I'm seeing a Buzzcocks concert, right?
	Reviewing it.
	I've seen the Buzzcocks.
	Dude, I think I probably did too.
	They were good.
	Dude, I went to every New Wave Punk Asshole concert.
	I don't remember any of it, but I'm pretty sure it went well.
	I have a lot of confidence.
	Pete Shelley asked for my number.
	Oh, come on.
	Now you're really getting deep, huh?
	That's a deep cut, folks.
	That's a very deep cut.
	All the millennials in this control room are just going, these two old dudes are talking about Elvis Presley.
	I know.
	We were a huge fan of Elvis.
	We've actually name-checked Ian Curtis and Pete Shelley on Dr. Gorka's show.
	I just know this is the most dangerous eight minutes of me being in control of the dump button.
	There you go.
	I've got a lot of buttons in front of me if things get a little bit dumb.
	I don't know what any of these are.
	They do make noises.
	You want to hit one or two of them right now?
	I just, I'm bored.
	What the hell was that?
	That's from Flash Gordon.
	Sci-fi, yeah, sci-fi and 80s board.
	We've got 30 seconds until we're coming in there, so don't get too happy playing around with it.
	Alright, 20 seconds, everybody stand by, we'll come in.
	Hi, we're Freddy and the Wiener on the Morning Zoo in Minot, North Dakota!
	Oh my goodness.
	All right, stand by, stand by.
	Stand by.
	I get up at seven.
	We are back Back on America First!
	I am Kurt Schlichter, sitting in for Dr. Seb Gorka.
	You could tell because that was Rush with Working Man.
	Thanks to Jim Henson.
	Who is not the Muppets guy.
	Not the Muppet guy.
	By the way, folks, I would like you to know, for the first time in recorded history on America First with Dr. Seb Gorka, during the break, where you can watch us on Rumble, uncensored and free as a bird, we name-checked both Ian Curtis and Pete Shelley.
	Old school New Wave punk.
	Buzzcocks on America First.
	Now, Jim, we were going somewhere with this.
	I'm not even sure where.
	Off the rails.
	Off the rails.
	Let's get back on.
	Now, you and I are personal friends.
	We talk a lot.
	So we have the kind of easy rapport.
	that a guest host and a guest should have but you also are a keen analyst of what's going on and our our listeners and viewers on rumble like i said get that watch us on rumble because we are super because it rumbles it does rumble we they want to know guys Enough yakkin' about your bad musical taste.
	I wanna know what the hell's happening in 2024.
	Are we gonna win this thing?
	Are we gonna win this thing, Jim?
	Hell yeah.
	I can't wait for 2022.
	Cause it's gonna start the ass whoopin' that's gonna continue.
	Well, you're in Virginia.
	I am in Virginia.
	So shouldn't the kickin' start with Glenn Youngkin?
	Can you guys win that?
	I actually think he could win.
	At this point, it's a toss-up.
	And Terry McAuliffe keeps helping.
	He's the one who started the whole parents should not be in charge of their kids' education thing.
	He said that out loud!
	Now, let me stop you there, because we're talking about how you are an expert in information warfare.
	Information warfare means transmitting a clear message that sets you up in the minds of the people you're attempting to influence to influence events and have effects.
	Who the hell thinks, hey parents, you should have no voice in your children's bullying?
	How does someone think that that's going to help him?
	Even a radical liberal teachers union shill like Terry McAuley?
	Well, what George Orwell told him, that's how you operate things.
	You have a ministry of parents don't get a vote, and they decide then, amongst their technocrat, authoritarian, thought-policing selves, that they're going to give our kids what they want them to have, not what we want them to have.
	And that's the part that I think they really, really overstepped their bounds.
	McAuliffe screwed up by saying it.
	Biden went in and now with the FBI attacking parents, he's gotten so many more people who would have stayed out of this fight into the fight that I think they did us the biggest favor they could have.
	Thank you.
	Is the reason that these guys say these insane things, where they make what Michael Kinsey called a Washington gaffe, which is accidentally telling the truth, Is it simply because they don't know any normal people?
	Yeah, 100%, dude.
	Because I have to check myself for insider baseball and insider references.
	You know, because I talk to people like you and the rest of the crazies in our circle.
	Oh yeah, I'm an insider here on the beach in LA.
	Dude, you are so DC.
	It all goes through Kirk, folks.
	You are swamp central out there on the beach.
	But the bottom line is we all listen to too much politics and those guys don't talk to anyone who doesn't agree with them that the problem is there's too much freedom running around.
	There's all these people who think they can decide to do what they want even if it hurts other people.
	Well, who are you to walk around without taking the medicine we tell you to?
	Who are you to decide you want to tell your kids, or you want to choose what your kids get taught in our schools?
	You don't get a vote.
	And they believe that, and they get reinforcement confirmation bias, and all the rest, and that leads them to say idiotic, helpful things like Terry McAuliffe did.
	It's easy to talk about how dumb the Dems are.
	I mean, we could go on and on, and in fact we probably will.
	But what's harder is to look at ourselves.
	Do we have, as conservatives, as America First conservatives, have the same risk where we're only talking to ourselves instead of finding out what those folks out there really want from us?
	You know, a leader brings people where they really want to go.
	The dictator tells them where they're going to go, and that doesn't last a long time.
	Are we in danger of not listening to the people that we should be listening to?
	Yeah, 100%, because we can't just rely on the base.
	If Trump runs, their base and our base are more or less equal, and it depends then on where the middle goes.
	And we have to have a better message than just, Biden's an idiot.
	No, he is.
	Which he is.
	I mean, that's a given.
	And a pervert.
	Yeah, and a pervert and all the rest.
	And destroying our country and putting the state in control of our lives and all of that.
	And a Matlock superfan.
	We have to have a positive message, too, and we have to have something coming with it.
	What should that be?
	That positive message should be, wouldn't you like security and prosperity again, like you had when Republicans were in charge?
	Don't live under Democrat rule.
	Live a free life as an American with everything you want because you earned it.
	Now, I love that message, and I think it's an important message, and I think it's important that when we're honing that message, when we're figuring out how to present it, we communicate with normal people.
	When I say normal people, I mean people who don't listen to politics all the time.
	People who may, I don't know, work for Southwest Airlines and maybe not want to get vaccinated and may be risking their jobs to protest the Democrat-corporatist human rights violations that mandated vaccines are.
	But you also have to have a good message out of that because the left's answer that everybody's going to hear on their local news report is that these are dangerous people who don't want to get vaccinated because they actually want to kill their neighbors, right?
	They'll spin it all the way around on us.
	They're trying.
	They're like Typhoid Mary, you know, running around infected and wanting to infect others, when the actuality is they're people who have a right to do that, and everyone should be in a position where they get to make that choice, not the state.
	And that's the thing.
	Or their corporate catspots.
	Or their corporate catspots.
	Who are being coerced by the state?
	I gotta tell you, Jim, I'm having a lot of trouble telling the difference between the government and some of these corporations right now.
	And I believe it was William F. Buckley, who was a lot more woke than a lot of the conservative media guys of the present day are.
	He said, I am indifferent to whether it is the government or General Motors attempting to take my rights.
	I am against both.
	Ladies and gentlemen, when Kurt says woke, he really means based, but we'll get him fixed on that.
	He's been trying to steal that back from the left, and I understand.
	It's my word.
	It's Kurt's word.
	The rest of us will continue to use based because that's our word.
	We can have two words.
	We can have seven words.
	We just got to use them for the right things.
	But not for the FCC.
	Not those seven words.
	We're not going to use any of those.
	Not here.
	Not now.
	Look, how do we best prepare for what we hope is the figurative bloodletting, electoral bloodletting next year?
	And I want to, look, you are the author of a new book about our cultural crisis titled, Winning the Second Civil War Without Firing a Shot.
	And that's our goal.
	How do we do that?
	We got about one minute.
	You first start by talking to your neighbors.
	You know, I mean, that's just it.
	At this point, we have the good answers.
	They have the bad answers.
	And we need to increase the amount of times that people hear a normal answer to the issues that they have.
	So get out, talk to somebody.
	Bring one more person to the game and that will be enough.
	When did the elevator music become the hook here?
	We started with Rush and we're ending with like Herbie Hancock played by Larry the Lounge Lizard.
	Very, very picky, he's Jim Hansen.
	I'm totally picky.
	Author of How to Win the Civil War Without Firing a Shot.
	While riding in an elevator with Kurt Schlichter.
	Good Lord.
	And that's how we go out.
	That was amazing.
	We just rode us right to the crashing end of the hard stop there.
	I know, right at the end of it.
	I was like, this is Kirkland!
	What, what, what, what do you want, Eric?
	Did you just raise your hand?
	My mic.
	Oh, your mic needs, oh, sorry.
	That was too good.
	I hope the mics are on.
	They're on now.
	I am going to have a little training session with the whole in and out intro outro.
	I didn't make them.
	I didn't make them.
	I made a few of them.
	Did Gorka approve?
	These are his approved ins and outs.
	I'm going to have a chat with him.
	That was obscene.
	It's part of my job.
	I can make more.
	That wouldn't even make it into a bad point.
	It's like the elevator music from the Blues Brothers Class.
	See?
	There you go!
	With the velvet covered piano.
	Nice reference, by the way.
	See, this is why Prager has not let me come back and do his guest host again.
	Because I was like going, ah, let's get some cannibal corpse.
	Right?
	I usually just stick with Leonard Skinner.
	I used to always come on to Kid Rock Cowboy.
	Right?
	Because you should always be pimpin'.
	I'm big pimpin'.
	I know.
	I'm putting him on the street saying, young lady, bring me my money.
	See, I'm keeping it clean.
	If you're interested, I'm sure the possibility of Jim Hansen guest hosting America First is something Seb might be open to.
	Oh my god, I would love that.
	See, and then we'll just have Kurt be the guest.
	Then I'll come and be the Jim Hansen.
	I get to be the Jim Hansen.
	I'll ask for names!
	You'll be on the left side of the screen.
	Gotta throw him like a girl.
	I'm in.
	Alright, Curtis, brother.
	Adios, playa.
	That was a good hit.
	I don't think anyone knows what the hell was going on.
	But they laughed.
	I almost couldn't give you the time warning because I was not... That's re-amusing.
	The oriantics amuse you.
	Plenty of people shoving knowledge in their ears and facts and garbage like that, man.
	We're here.
	I got some knowledge I want to insert inside you.
	You will take the knowledge.
	Reminds me of back when O'Reilly was on the air and he had, like, Gutfelder Waters on and they'd make a joke that's so funny you could hear the guys behind the scenes just start laughing.
	This does not feel like a Monday.
	Dude, I actually made one of the, I was on, I don't know, it might have been O'Reilly, but there was a chick in the booth next to me and I made an Omar from The Wire reference.
	Nicely done!
	Come at the king, you best not miss, right?
	And I heard her laugh through the thing and then I laughed because she laughed.
	Oh no.
	It was like, what is going on?
	I don't know.
	But yeah, I win for an Omar reference.
	Hey man, I cracked Tucker up last time I was on.
	It was about white privilege.
	And I cracked him up, and I've never been on with him again.
	He's supposed to be the funny one with the look.
	He's got that slightly constipated, inquisical look.
	Tucker face.
	The one thing that gets me about Tucker is I'll have some great idea for a column and then I'll watch his show and he'll talk about it.
	Let me bring Adam up for you.
	We do have Adam on the line if you want to talk to him.
	Adam, how are you?
	I am great.
	I'm not of this tempo right now, I can tell you that.
	We'll get the vibe right for you.
	We just finished 2,500 miles and some very, very late nights to finish the whole state, thanks to Southwest.
	Well, how long's that gonna last?
	Can't get a straight story.
	We will certainly talk about the importance of supporting our working class union guys in their fight against corporate Democrat.
	Ten seconds.
	We're coming in.
	Stand by.
	Nothing says America first like sweet home Alabama from Leonard Skinner.
	I'm Kurt Schlichter.
	I'm guest hosting for Dr. Gorka today.
	I got a personal friend on the line.
	He's a friend because we were in the trenches together, figurative trenches, the trenches in Las Vegas after the last election, where we fought a valiant, ultimately unsuccessful rearguard action for election integrity in the face of Democrat shenanigans.
	He's running for Senate now.
	He's Adam Laxalt.
	Adam, welcome to America First.
	Thanks, Kurt.
	Thanks for having me.
	Oh, it is a pleasure to have you.
	If people don't know you, I think, you know, they certainly know your family.
	But one fun fact that I only recently found out is during your time in the United States Navy, which is a fine service.
	It's not the Army like I served in, but it's okay.
	Your roommate was one Governor, Ron DeSantis.
	How's that happen?
	That's true.
	Oh my God.
	What a small world, huh?
	Governor DeSantis has already come out and endorsed you, I take it?
	Yes, I think that I'm the only person in the country right now that has both President Trump and Governor DeSantis endorsement.
	It's a big Senate race, and we're honored to have them both.
	And, you know, we really think this is going to be the 51st seat.
	We're just charging the hill.
	Well, Adam, I'm very proud to know you because I saw how hard you worked in Las Vegas.
	Even when things looked bleak, you got in there and fought.
	And one of the big critiques of Republicans is they talk a great game when they're back home.
	They're big talkers during the election.
	They get to Washington and they don't do nothing.
	How are you going to ensure that when you get to Washington they don't manage to co-opt you?
	Look, and with good reason, that's a critique, and I certainly just heard it two weeks ago around my state.
	People want Republicans, they're going to get in there and fight for our values and actually stand up for them.
	And so, you know, we've got to find people that have actually shown that they can and will do that.
	That's something I certainly did when I was Attorney General.
	We fought against Obama nearly every day back in the day.
	And obviously we fought for the president both in the election, I was his co-chair, and in the run-up to the end of the election, as you pointed out.
	And so, you know, we just have to quit picking the type of Republican that just wants to be in office.
	We need to pick Republicans that understand we're up against.
	We're up against a left that wants to radically transform our nation.
	They will do whatever it takes to get their way.
	Unless we understand that that's our threat that has to be fought that way, we're never going to get back to this country.
	Just winning back an office or even just winning back in the House isn't going to save our country.
	That's just the first step.
	Then we actually need to lead and find creative ways to turn the tide.
	And you mentioned Ron DeSantis.
	You know, DeSantis is a governor and everybody knows him nationally for what he did on COVID.
	Standing in the pocket, standing for what was always the truth, regardless of the consequences.
	But he's doing a lot of other things that people don't know.
	Like, he's found ways to go after big tech.
	He's found ways to fix curriculum in the state of Florida.
	They're now teaching critical race theory, and they're actually teaching the effects of communism in Cuba.
	Oh my gosh, I just love hearing that.
	It makes me want to have a cigarette and a cuddle.
	Adam, look, America First people are very, very concerned about election integrity.
	I watched you fight, and you were doing 22-hour days, even when you started getting sick, because I know I got COVID out of it.
	You kept fighting, and that really made an impression on me.
	I know you're a military guy.
	You check all the boxes for me.
	And I suggest people look into you.
	Where can people look into you to help you in your fight against whoever the hell you're running against?
	Because she's a nobody.
	She's faceless.

	And yes, not only did Trump and DeSantis support us, But as well as the other conservative fighters that we all support right now that are standing out for us.
	And I hope you go there.
	I hope you'll support us.
	We have to win this seat.
	She's Harry Reid's replacement.
	Who is she?
	I mean, who is she?
	Really?
	Who knew?
	Exactly.
	And she doesn't really have a single accomplishment to run on in this state after 13 years.
	The voters know it, and we have a great opportunity to win this seat.
	Well, Adam Laxalt, thank you very much.
	Go to adamlaxalt.com, support Adam in his fight for America First, and keep with us through the last couple of segments of America First as I, Kurt Schlichter, continue my guest host stint.
	See you soon.
	Well, that was fun.
	Yeah.
	Thanks for having me.
	I can't get the elevator music out of my head now.
	It is the elevator from Blues Brothers.
	Love that scene.
	I haven't been in an elevator that's played music in a while.
	Oh my gosh.
	The highlight was once I went into like a Safeway and they were playing a Muzak version of Lost in the Supermarket by the way.
	I was like, oh.
	There's a lot of research that goes into what music they play at a supermarket.
	You'd probably assume, but I had to read a bit on that for a class of mine that sort of went over what kind of music was statistically the best for getting people around in certain ways and getting them to buy certain items.
	That's crazy.
	But yeah, they're thinking about that.
	Hey, it's Chuck Mangione!
	I want ham!
	Of course, Anna Navarro's always like, oh, I want ham!
	Hey, and music!
	It's because she's heavy.
	In case people don't know why it's funny.
	I love the... It's like... She is so repulsive.
	I've been watching a lot of Norm Macdonald lately because he was one of my favorite comedians and he's... Oh God, he's brilliant.
	Ah, but yeah, poor guy.
	But I just love... He'd do that.
	He'd do just what you did there.
	He'd just hang on to something and be like, hey, yeah, yeah.
	Make it just... Push it a little bit over the edge.
	Just keep it going.
	Oh my goodness.
	You know, I used to do stand-up.
	I could imagine.
	I believe it.
	I could imagine.
	My wife hated it so much.
	Because she'd always have to go sit with the comics.
	And the comics are always, am I funny?
	Am I funny?
	Was I funny?
	And she's like, stop making me validate you.
	Because you weren't funny.
	You couldn't hear the silence.
	Tim's on.
	Tim is on, and the comics are live.
	See, Tim is a stand-up, and he is funny.
	Am I?
	Yeah, I don't know.
	That's word on the street.
	Huggy Bear loved your airline food bit.
	What airline food bet?
	I love where this is going, by the way.
	What's the deal with airline food?
	Hey, we aren't making any because you're going to make me take a vaccine, so screw you.
	I love where this is going, by the way.
	You do?
	I'm so glad I got home from Miami last night.
	Oh, my gosh.
	I got a flight to Sacramento and back on Friday.
	Oh, best of luck.
	Oh, geez.
	No, Jeff.
	Why did you text me that?
	He did it last time in the break.
	I know he did.
	That needs to be on the air.
	Oh, yeah.
	Yeah, it totally needs to be on the air.
	I'm I'm rolling, man.
	This is too good.
	I know.
	I can't.
	I can't.
	I'm worried I'm going to lose track of something here.
	So this is like my podcast, because I always get like three friends, and we're always like four bottles of wine into it before we do it.
	I literally have no idea what my podcast is about.
	I'm like, I'm just going to send it in.
	And the guys at Town Hall are like, Storm Padley is like, what the hell?
	He's like, could you talk about politics more?
	And I'm like, what?
	Politics?
	You never think politics.
	Politics aren't funny.
	Yeah.
	If you don't post the funny, we don't get the money.
	Yeah.
	All right.
	We got 30 seconds.
	Whoa.
	Oh my goodness.
	Busting rhyme all the time.
	Alright.
	I guess I'll shut my patio door.
	Okay.
	Thank you.
	I want an armadillo wandering in.
	Alright, we'll be on in ten seconds everybody.
	Cause he's in Texas!
	Everybody stand by.
	but just gonna keep explaining the joke.
	And we're back to the lilting tones of the Rockford file theme.
	I'm Kurt Schlichter, guest hosting on America First for Dr. Seb Gorka.
	Let me tell you guys a little story.
	I used to be a stand-up comic.
	Not like a big one, I never got my own TV show, but I was adequate.
	And one time I did a bit to some other comics, I was workshopping it, and I did a bit and I said, Yeah!
	But, uh, the French love Jerry Lewis!
	And they all kind of looked at me and I was like, all right, joke chalkboard.
	The French like Jerry Lewis.
	That's why it's funny!
	And I bring this up, uh, because my next guest is a comic.
	He's also conservative, but he's not a conservative comic.
	It was like when I was a stand-up, they go, you're a lawyer!
	You should do lawyer jokes!
	And I'd be like, no, I'd rather be amusing!
	Um, Tim Young, welcome to America First!
	This sounds very organized today.
	How are you doing, Kurt?
	No, it is not.
	It's like hanging out with you, basically.
	You never know what's going to happen.
	Some's on fire.
	There's bourbon.
	By the way, I just had a great weekend.
	I want to thank everyone... I'm getting my plug in here.
	I want to thank everybody at FFES 2021.
	I hosted the conference this weekend.
	I was the emcee, last minute call-in, and I put in about 30 hours on stage.
	It was insane.
	Are you crazy?
	A, they didn't invite me.
	What the hell's up with that?
	Well, I'm not at liberty to discuss that.
	God, you know, the most mercenary people on earth are comics.
	They're like, hey, could you help me open this envelope?
	No, unless you pay me.
	That's how I work.
	So just know that.
	But I love that.
	I had such a great time this weekend.
	Go ahead, Kurt, ask me anything you'd like.
	What do you think of the Southwest Airlines work stoppage?
	Should we support these working class union guys against the Democrat corporate cartel that seeks to destroy their human rights?
	Yeah, see, here's what's amazing, right?
	So, uh, they're finally screwing with people, and I don't know why the doctors and nurses—actually, well, the doctors and nurses just walked off the jobs—but they're screwing with people who make $150,000 to $200,000 a year that are critical to an industry, and an industry that touches more people than just sick people, it touches everybody, and I think they finally realize— Much like the Lincoln Project.
	Hey, well, that's just— Children.
	So now they finally hit the right group.
	They finally picked off the right people, and I'm so glad they're standing up for themselves.
	And especially since I'm back from Miami, back home, and I don't need to fly anywhere for a bit.
	Oh, well, look, I think it is important that as America First Patriots, we support the folks who build this country, feed it, fuel it, fly it, defend it.
	And all I see on Twitter is a bunch of guys who are always telling me how they're out for the little dude.
	Going, you know, it's important that you obey the commands of large faceless corporations and give up your privacy rights and your bodily integrity for our whim.
	It's important.
	Because the public good, by which I mean doing what I want done.
	I find that amusing.
	It's almost like they're hypocritical.
	Yeah, you know, they are.
	You know, what's crazy to me is when you go out, the people are still wearing face shields.
	That never did anything anyway.
	How are people still wearing those stupid masks?
	You know, if Fauci would have said you need to put a butt plug in to prevent that, you know, because I'm sure you can transmit it through there, too, people would have done it.
	Anyway, yeah, I'm I look, I don't mind ugly people wearing face masks.
	Uh Uh, I think the rest of people, it's, I think it is ridiculous.
	Now, didn't Fauci start out with, don't wear a mask, then wear a mask, then wear two masks, then you don't have to wear any mask, then you gotta wear a mask again, and now you gotta wear a mask at Thanksgiving, which you can't have.
	Or Christmas.
	No, this all came from, yeah, yeah, he did that, but I'm talking about the face shields, Kurt, like, like COVID- Oh, the face shields!
	Oh, that's even worse!
	I don't even get that!
	Every once in a while I see somebody driving with a face shield.
	They're in their Prius.
	And it's like, you're not going to have anybody in there with you anyway, because it's a Prius, and they'd be embarrassed.
	I was at a bougie brunch yesterday.
	This guy walked in with a face shield.
	I'm like, what is that supposed to be?
	Like, I didn't say anything to him.
	I just let him look like a fool.
	But I mean, that came from the one day.
	Remember, Falchi said people should wear goggles?
	Oh gosh, I had forgotten the goggles.
	So everybody has to look like Mark Spitz.
	That's my Mark Spitz reference.
	It's absolutely insane, and the fact that people still believe that that does something.
	Like, the mask, look, that's... Well, it does!
	It makes them look like idiots.
	Yes, totally.
	And what are you, a riot cop?
	Are you an Australian patrolman?
	What's going on?
	Well, they think COVID makes people explode.
	Well... I didn't explode.
	I had COVID, and it was like a mild cold, and then I got over it.
	And, you know...
	There it was.
	It was a thing.
	I think everybody's going to get COVID.
	Did you have COVID?
	Yes, everybody's going to get it.
	Did you have COVID yet?
	Yeah, December 2019.
	Before we knew what it was.
	Do you have the antigens?
	I do.
	You do?
	I still have them.
	I'm like a superhuman right now.
	Wouldn't it make more sense to do what the Norwegians do?
	And I thought Scandinavian socialists were supposed to be our role models.
	But they have decided in Norway, Olaf Olsen is not doing nothing.
	They're doing nothing.
	They've lifted all COVID restrictions.
	They're like, we're done.
	It's endemic.
	It makes sense.
	That makes perfect sense.
	But their government isn't overreaching and trying to control their people for the foreseeable future.
	Well, I think it's the fact that they're ruled by trolls from the fjords.
	And trolls don't get COVID, do they?
	I don't know.
	Wait, the ladies on The View got it, so I'm going to go with yes.
	People who frequent the country kitchen buffet are not trolls, okay?
	Have some respect.
	I remember, remember when tests were hard to find early on, and everything seems like it's a million years away, or a million years ago.
	And they tested a tiger, a tiger tested positive for COVID.
	A tiger tested, was somebody going up and coughing in the face of this giant feline?
	The feline's like, where's my face mask?
	This was early on, during the pandemic, and they were like, we don't have enough testing, and yadda yadda, we're not probing enough noses.
	That's how you test a tiger?
	Yes.
	That's great!
	Get it?
	Because Tony the Tiger.
	It's bad.
	You like that?
	It's bad.
	Isn't he gay now?
	Didn't they all do a big gay box of cereal with Kellogg's?
	All of them were on it.
	Oh, that's the new thing.
	Superman is now, he's now got a boyfriend.
	In the comic books.
	Now, I don't read comic books because I, you know, am a man.
	And, uh, but apparently that, you know, and I saw this and they're like Marvel's like, or whatever, DC, I don't know what it is.
	Well, we'll get right back to the, you know, Superman follows his muse issue right after the break with more Tim Young on America First.
	Now, can I speak freely?
	Yes, the mics are on.
	Oh, what, what, what, wait, weren't you on the air?
	Well, here's the thing with the Superman thing.
	He's got to be at top, right?
	Because if he's at bottom, it's impossible to penetrate.
	Look, I don't think we need to go that deep, so to speak.
	It's his son, right?
	It's not actually Clark Kent.
	It's Joe Kent, which I wasn't aware he had a son.
	My point is going to be, I find the whole thing extremely boring.
	It's supposed to blow my bourgeois mind and it just doesn't.
	I'm just tired of it.
	We'll talk about non-cis Superman.
	Anything else you want to hit, Tim?
	No, I have nothing to talk about.
	I'm so exhausted.
	I literally did 30 hours this weekend.
	I'm gonna call you later.
	You gotta tell me how much they paid you.
	I'm curious.
	Yellow.
	I can't.
	I'm not at liberty to speak.
	I can speak with my attorney about it later, Kurt.
	That's handy!
	I know.
	I know, attorney-client privilege is such a two-edged sword.
	Everybody tells me all sorts of secrets, but they also... I can't tell any of the good gossip.
	So I'm like, so-and-so is doing what with a what?
	As you know, I probably have found out most of it already.
	You know, Democrat perversion's boring.
	Republicans, though, get into some weird stuff.
	James, did you see, I was at the conference, did you see James O'Keefe was singing a show tune this weekend?
	Yes, yes, he sings Oklahoma.
	He was the star in Oklahoma.
	I have questions.
	What's your question?
	It was fantastic.
	It was a real barn burner?
	It was a real barn burner.
	What question do you have, Kurt?
	I'm here for it.
	Why the hell is, uh... Just a reminder, Kurt, I know it's flown by, this is the final segment, by the way.
	So, closing thoughts.
	We got 30 seconds.
	What's your question?
	Why is he singing and dancing?
	I'm gonna talk about it on the air.
	Let's go.
	What do we got to say?
	He's saying show tunes.
	Really?
	I mean, what?
	All right, we got 20 seconds.
	Standing by.
	Which is, uh, that is, uh, 20 seconds is one Bulwark Wedding Night.
	Including foreplay, afterplay, and crying.
	All right, stand by.
	Those ringing power chords can mean only one thing. - Yeah.
	We are back, back for the final segment of today's episode of America First with Dr. Seb Gorka.
	I'm your guest host, Kurt Schlechter.
	We're continuing our conversation with conservative comic Tim Young.
	Tim, what is your reaction to, if any, to the announcement that now comic book Superman is going to get a boyfriend?
	Do you care?
	James O'Keefe sings, James O'Keefe sings, um, show tunes.
	Oh, uh, yeah.
	Look, it's good that Superman can live his truth, right?
	It's about time.
	Isn't it technically Superman's son?
	Not that I know any of this.
	I wouldn't know.
	I mean, at this point, it's so stupid.
	They have to put every minority person in every white guy's position, which is kind of, it's really sad, actually.
	And it still demeans minorities.
	It actually demeans them more because Shouldn't minority characters have their own unique characters instead of taking the place of a white male character?
	Because it's like, oh, they can only live up to that standard, right?
	Here's the thing.
	You see somebody who's a minority and they're very good in a role that doesn't necessarily have an ethnicity.
	And there's going to be people going, oh, that person only got the job because that person's great-great-grandfather came from, you know, Mauritania.
	And I think that it's just unfair and obnoxious.
	I have another idea.
	How about we not care about any of that stuff and act like freaking adults and Americans?
	That's crazy, right?
	I know, kookiness!
	But how many comic books do, like, purple hair, frumpy baristas buy?
	Because that's the target audience.
	Well, it is.
	You know, they don't want to see themselves reflected in the pages.
	I just look at it and I think, you know, of course they announce it on Twitter, Superman is getting a boyfriend.
	And then they hold their breath like it's going to blow your bourgeois mind.
	And for me it's like, what are you, am I supposed to be stunned?
	Am I supposed to care?
	Am I supposed to go, are you?
	Oh, I'm John Lithgow in Footloose!
	No dancing for you kids!
	It's idiotic.
	I think we just need to mock them.
	Yeah, I think we just need to mock them, because they're boring.
	And the buried lead is, they're reading comic books and they're adults.
	That's the buried lead.
	Let's face it, sexuality is not a big issue for these folks.
	It doesn't come up a lot.
	Nobody cares!
	And that's the thing, it's not really offensive, it's just stupid, because they can't come up with anything good.
	How about you make a good DC comic book movie?
	Like, I'll watch the movies, and they're awful.
	I've turned them off.
	Which ones are the DC ones?
	The Justice League ones.
	So Superman, Wonder Woman, Batman.
	Oh, I haven't seen any of those.
	They're terrible.
	They're all terrible.
	Wonder Woman was okay, but I watched it on the plane.
	But other than that, the first one, they have been awful and unwatchable.
	Well, thank you, Tim Young, for your important comic book information.
	Everybody, go out and follow Tim on Twitter at TimRunsHisMouth because he certainly does.
	I'm Kurt Schlichter.
	I've been running my mouth for three hours here on America First.
	Thank you, Dr. Gorka and the whole team for letting me take command for today.
	Dr. Gorka should be back tomorrow on America First.
