Chris Stigall FULL SHOW: Will Biden expand the Supreme Court?
| Copy link to current segment

Time Text
What a thrill it is to kick off the weekend with you.
I'm not Sebastian Gorka, you can tell because his voice is several octaves deeper than mine, although I try.
I do my best practicing in the mirror.
I try to get Gorka down, but I just can't get... I can't get that... I'm working on it.
Can we... Can we boost the reverb on my mic, just to...
It's kind of embarrassing when you just... that voice.
No, my name is Chris Stegall.
Thrilled to be here with you to kick off your weekend on this Friday.
Chris Stegall is my name.
I host The Morning Show on Dr. G's affiliate in Philadelphia.
Philadelphia is AM 990 The Answer.
It is just a great, great, great...
Pleasure to be with you today, and I hope, if you're so inclined, you'll give me a ring at 833-33-GORKA.
That hasn't changed.
833-33-GORKA.
We have a fantastic show for you today.
We have to start things in this hour.
In fact, coming up in the very next segment, don't go anywhere.
I know you're familiar with the name John Solomon.
If you're a regular Gorka listener, John Solomon of Just the News with the very latest on this disgusting story That Andrew McCabe, probably the most loathsome... I don't know if Seb would agree with this statement or not.
But I would call him the most odious, loathsome little toad in all the Russiagate collusion story.
That whole fabricated Russia story of all the players in that story, and I include Comey in it, and I know this, and I include Hillary Clinton in it.
Andrew McCabe, the deputy director of the FBI, might be the worst, most loathsome of them all.
And he just got your taxpayer pension reinstated today.
So I can't wait to get the very latest from John Solomon and Just the News.
Cheryl Atkinson is coming up on the show today.
There is a lot out there to read and know and understand about natural immunity when it comes to this virus.
COVID, of course, is what I'm talking about.
Now, full disclosure, Just two weeks now out from having battled COVID myself.
I staved it off for the vast majority of the last, what, two years we've been talking about it?
And then in just two weeks ago, it whacked me and I got it good.
Won't lie.
Didn't feel well.
Got pretty sick.
But you know what I did?
I sought out monoclonal antibody treatment.
In fact, it is the very same treatment that President Trump received.
And it's the very same treatment that the governor of Florida, Ron DeSantis, is making sure his citizens, his residents, can get.
And even when Joe Biden took it away, Ron DeSantis says, this is too important.
We're going to figure out a way.
He partnered with GlaxoSmithKline, and he has fanned monoclonal antibody treatment out across Florida, reducing hospitalizations by 70%.
Therapies work, ladies and gentlemen.
They're important.
And if you have had COVID, you know that's true.
If you have not had COVID and you don't know about it, I hope that you'll seek it out.
We're going to talk more about that in today's show because it's critically important.
And as it turns out, this also from just the news, as a matter of fact.
A good half of this country, and I would suspect a good number of people in this audience that listened to America First with Dr. Sebastian Gorka probably feel this way.
I don't want to speak for all of you.
And again, I'm not a doctor.
I'm not here trying to give you advice.
I'm just here telling you as a guy who's fresh off COVID myself.
And also, full disclosure, I don't know if I'm allowed to say this or should say this.
I don't think there's anything I can't say here.
I've not had the shot.
I didn't take it.
I didn't do it.
And that's not because I'm telling you you shouldn't.
That's not because I think it's bad for everybody.
It was just a decision that I made.
And I'm lucky and fortunate that I get to make that decision.
I realize, increasingly, like we're seeing in Chicago right now, I'm one of the few people in the country left, apparently, that can make the decision as to whether or not I want to take a medicine.
Now, my decision is my decision.
It should have nothing to do with you.
If you wish to do it or don't wish to do it, you should make that independent of me, of course.
I'm not arrogant enough to sit here and tell you whether you should or shouldn't.
But the fact is, there are millions of Americans that don't want to, for one reason or another, and here's a big reason why.
I'll share with you mine, and I think there are millions of Americans who share it.
Most of us will catch COVID, as I just did, and we're going to come through it.
Now, it whacks some of us extra hard.
Some of us get very, very sick.
Some of us don't really get sick at all.
Some of us are mildly symptomatic.
It spans the gamut.
It's very, very hard to anticipate or understand why some people get very, very sick while others don't at all.
But the fact is, if you come through it, and most of us will if you catch it, 99% of us will, even our more mature citizens out there will come through it most likely.
If you're a kid, I mean you don't want anybody to die, you don't want to lose anybody, but if you're a kid, age 18 or under, we have lost a statistical Nothing in terms of a measurable statistical number by millions of children in this country.
We've lost 500.
Now that's sad.
I hate that we lost even one.
You never want to lose a child, of course, and God bless those families who've suffered that, but those are extreme outlier circumstances.
We've lost far more children, sadly, to the basic run-of-the-mill flu than we have COVID.
All three of my kids, again full disclosure because I feel like I just got to lay it out there so you know I'm talking about this with At least some anecdotal authority.
My entire house caught it at the same time.
It ripped through my house like a brush fire.
My wife had it first.
Well, actually, one of my sons had it first.
My wife caught it.
Then I caught it.
My next son caught it.
My daughter caught it.
My three kids, ages 16, 15, and 13, went from... One had lost her sense of smell.
Another one had a bit of a sneeze and a sniffle and a cough.
And then a third was a little more laid out for like a day.
All three of them are fine.
They had to sit out of school naturally, and now they're back to school and they feel fine.
They feel great.
I mean, it was easy.
It was like a run-of-the-mill cold for them.
And I look at them and I say to myself, why in the world Would I eagerly race to give them a shot?
Why would I do that?
I say to myself.
This is me, Chris Stegall, filling in for Dr. Gorka talking.
I don't mean to speak for Dr. G or anybody else.
I'm just saying, here I am, one average American parent, looking at my three teenage kids who just came through COVID and said, well, why would I give them the shot?
Why?
For what reason?
And my wife and I just came through it successfully.
Monoclonal antibody treatment.
It worked amazingly well.
And I say to myself, that's natural immunity, baby.
Why would I inject myself with this shot after I've just had it?
I just had it!
And yet there are still people out there who insist I do.
So we're going to talk about that today.
And we're going to have an honest discussion about it.
And I realize that not everybody agrees on this point.
And again, I want to be very, very clear with you.
I'm not trying to sell you on anything.
That's not my job.
I don't think there's anybody in talk radio, at least I hope not, who sits here arrogantly behind a microphone and tries to convince you what you should or shouldn't do when it comes to your own personal health.
But I know here at America First, Dr. G makes a priority of having open, honest, fully vetted conversations from all sides where you can make an informed decision by hearing all points of view and opinions.
We don't run from conversations about anything from ivermectin to hydroxychloroquine to monoclonal antibody treatment to, yeah, the shot, the vaccine in some cases, if it fits and you need it and you want it, good, go for it.
But there is too much, there's too many voices in this country screeching and screaming, you gotta get the shot, and if you don't get the shot, well then there's no alternative for you, and death is looming.
It's get the shot and live, or don't get the shot and die, and that's just a false choice.
Particularly now what we know with breakthrough COVID cases.
People that have been double vaccinated and still get sick.
And just while I'm at it, I hate to sound... Now see, I may never be asked to fill in for Dr. Gorka again, because I'm going to float a little... just a little something I've been thinking about.
Have you noticed how everyone seems to be protesting in the media without anybody really asking the question, what's wrong with Bill Clinton?
Have you noticed... Bill Clinton was hospitalized last night.
We wish him all the best.
Bill Clinton hospitalized with some kind of infection, but did you notice they were running out there quick to say, it's not COVID!
It's definitely not COVID!
Did anybody ask?
Did anyone assume it was?
But, boy, when they lead with, it's not COVID, uh... How devastating would it be to the Church of the Vaccine if we found out the double-vaccinated Bill Clinton had a breakthrough case of COVID?
And we're talking about the Clintons here, so... I think it a strong possibility.
That's all I'm saying.
I'll drop it now.
Glad to have you here.
My name's Chris Stegall, in for Dr. Sebastian Gorka.
This is America.
And you said you wanted the mics on on Rumble, Mr. Stagall?
Sure, that's fine.
Okay, how's it going, Rumblers?
I thought the same thing about Belcalin.
Oh, yeah.
Did you really?
It's at least a little interesting, I think.
I mean, right, it's like I said on my morning show today, it's like I say to you, hey guys, I just took my wife to the hospital last night, and before you even get out, how's she doing, I shout, I don't beat her, I certainly didn't hit her or throw it on the stairs, I just want you to know that.
And the fact that they say it's an infection.
Right!
It's like, who, I didn't jump to any conclusion about why he was hospitalized.
And if they hadn't said, it's not COVID, I wouldn't have even thought about COVID.
I would have assumed he's a heart patient, you know?
And the Clintons, they're known for telling the truth.
Right.
How did we do on time there, Dan?
Did I run a little over?
Just a couple seconds.
It's fine.
Sorry about that.
That's alright.
How long were you sick for?
Okay.
I'll put you on the air.
A solid week and a half.
I felt terrible.
I mean, well, three days I was just... You want me to call Solomon now?
Yeah, call him now.
I just couldn't get out of bed sick.
Really?
It was awful.
And then I got those antibodies and I was, you know, like, conscious and upright.
Which is not promoted enough.
I mean, people don't even know about it, some people, which is insane.
The number of emails and calls I still get about it.
How do you find it?
Where do you get it?
It's... it's shocking.
I know.
And it's not the general public's fault.
You're right.
Nobody tells them about it.
And the other thing, even if you go with their initial numbers, a vaccine works for 95%.
That means one out of every 20 it's not going to work for.
You should know about therapeutics.
It's ridiculous.
Every single American should know how to take care of themselves if they get it, whether they get the shot or not.
Yes.
Hi, this is Eric with the Sebastian Show calling in for your interview.
Well, my favorite thing is how, like diseases that have been around forever, they're still doing studies on, but they figure this one out right away.
Sure.
Yeah.
I could smack the next person that says, well, I mean, we've been giving people measles and mumps and polio shots as though that's analogous.
Exactly.
Analogous.
Dope.
No problem.
Wants me to call him back on his hard line.
All right.
Yes.
All right, yeah, this is Eric with Chris Seagal.
Uh, yeah, this sounds pretty good.
Yeah, one minute out, I'll put you on hold and he'll talk to you real quick.
The mics are live in the breaks.
Please stand by.
Mm-hmm.
No problem.
Alright, we got about 50 seconds.
Want me to punch him up?
Go ahead.
I'm going to talk to him.
Hi, John.
Hey, Seb.
No, this is Chris Stegall.
How are you?
I'm in for Seb today.
Oh, hey, good, good.
I really appreciate your time.
I've never had you on in Philly.
I'm his affiliate in Philadelphia, so I apologize.
This is our first meeting, but I hope it's not our last.
All right, let's make it so.
Anytime you want, just give me a call.
Oh, I'd love to have you on.
Thank you.
you. 20 seconds. 20 seconds.
Oh, there he is.
There's my guy.
Good job.
How's your new show going?
Good?
Very well, thank you.
I heard good.
Thank you.
Yes, indeed.
So cool.
I actually... No, I was not there for that one.
Seb and I have been at the White House before doing broadcasts, and I have never met a guy more readily and willing and able to jump behind the microphone than the former President of the United States, Donald Trump.
What a dichotomy, really, it is.
My name's Chris Stigall, by the way.
In for Seb today, I host the morning show on Seb's Philadelphia affiliate.
Philadelphia is AM 990, the answer.
And if you've...
If you've ever seen the...
The former President Trump at a what's called a radio row or a media event.
This is a guy that would shy away from no camera, no microphone, no interview.
And don't you miss that now?
At a time when the country needs a lot of answers and what do we get out of Joe Biden but constantly turning his back and walking out of the room never answering a question?
I know our next guest John Solomon at Just the News knows exactly what I'm talking about.
We went from A ton of transparency, John Solomon.
Two hour press conferences and then some, you know, constant tarmac, you know, the press spray.
The guy couldn't stop talking to the press to a guy that won't talk to the press.
It's pretty jarring.
Welcome in, John.
It's good to be with you.
Some days it feels like the president is in the Witness Protection Program because we can't get any answers.
We can't get any access.
It's very frustrating.
And, you know, we're in a moment in the country's history with supply chain and inflation in Afghanistan.
All the crises we want to hear from our president and we get these little tiny slices that are stage managed and not the sort of stream of consciousness accessibility that we got from Donald J. Trump.
I always heard people criticize, you know, because you're such a fantastic journalist.
Maybe you can speak to this.
Just give me your thoughts politically, if you could, for a moment.
Who's better?
Sincerely, if you're going to take one or the other, people would criticize President Trump and they say, oh, he talked too much.
He made himself too available.
And then there's, of course, Biden, who won't answer a single question.
I mean, if you were advising someone politically, which one would you recommend your candidate or your president be?
You know, all the great experts always assess each candidate differently, right?
It depends on your skill set, right?
And Joe Biden has had a 50-year history of sticking his foot in his mouth.
There are many famous moments.
That's why his 2008 campaign had so many troubles for president.
You have to assess each candidate and put them in the environment that you succeed.
That's what a political expert would say.
Donald Trump was always comfortable on the center of the stage, and he could Take anyone's question, going out to the helicopter, on Twitter, wherever he was, he felt comfortable.
Joe Biden is clearly nervous and uncomfortable in an ad hoc experience, and so his advisors protect him.
I think the American people are used now to having a president who's accessible, who answers questions, who takes the hard question and gives the hard answer.
And they're not getting it in the first eight, nine months of the Biden presidency.
And I think that's part of, you know, a much more complicated picture why Joe Biden's popularity is falling.
He's not accessible to the American people.
And the American people, John, have a sense, I believe.
I don't think I'm speaking out of school.
In fact, I think some polls even confirm this, John Solomon.
A lot of Americans, if not most, by even a small margin, don't think this guy's even running anything.
True?
Fair?
Yeah, listen.
The Joe Biden I know clearly made the decisions on Afghanistan.
He can't.
And there's been strong sworn testimony that really showed his determination to just pull out of there regardless of what the military generals are saying.
I think on a lot of other issues, he's not in the details.
And people like Susan Rice and Anthony Blinken are running the domestic and foreign policy sides.
And I think, you know, at the end of the day, he has to own it all.
He's the president.
But I do think that people understand that he's delegated a lot of authority, and I don't think they like the early results.
And I think this final quarter of the year, the economy is looking like it's hurtling towards an unprecedented disaster with supply chain inflation and stagflation all occurring at the same time.
You've got a deceleration of the economy.
A growth of inflation, perhaps interest rate increases, and store shelves are starting to get empty.
John Solomon at Just the News.
My name's Chris Stegall, in for Sebastian Gorka today.
Politico wrote this unbelievable story, and I just have to share this headline because I know it's going to make you laugh.
The political peril Biden didn't see coming is the headline.
The current inflation spike...
Yeah.
Now, the current inflation spike now appears to be on track to persist deep into 2022.
And boy, they just they just didn't see it.
Just had no idea it was coming, says Politico.
Now, how can a guy that's been 50 years in public service, who's supposedly the most popular guy ever to be elected, didn't see this coming?
Sincerely?
Well, listen, it's completely a dishonest story.
And the best defense of Joe Biden now, I guess, is he's blind.
But it's not true.
Larry Summers at the beginning of this presidency, the former Treasury Secretary to Bill Clinton, one of the most important voices on the left when it comes to economics, he wrote multiple op-eds telling this president, you are hurtling the country towards inflation.
Stop.
Take a deep breath.
Think.
They saw this coming.
They willfully ignored the warning signs.
Because they feel like they have to approve this agenda that the far left of the party is demanding to be done, and they're going to do so at perhaps the expense of the American people and their electoral majority in 2022.
If the economy continues to go in this direction, the 2022 election will be all about the pocketbook, and it will be a tough election for President Biden.
John, what do you think is the, or is it all a cacophony at one time?
I mean, is it the grocery store prices?
Is it the empty shelves?
Is it the work shortage, worker shortage?
Is it the gas prices?
Is it the snark from people like Jen Psaki when she says, we're not FedEx, we're not UPS, don't, you know, don't ask me questions about whether you'll get your Christmas gifts?
Or is it the totality of it that makes you so sure that the American public is resisting this?
I was just out in Middle America, out in the Midwest, and the word I kept hearing is competence.
We hired Joe Biden to be competent.
He said he would be competent and end COVID.
He said he would be competent and handle foreign relations better.
He said he would be competent and make better relations with our allies.
And we're fighting with France and all of our allies.
Afghanistan withdrawal was a disaster.
My gas prices are $4.
I don't feel he's competent.
He's not competently running the question.
The country and a lot of people, you know, it used to be just a meme for conservatives on social, but a lot of people say, this guy feels a lot like Jimmy Carter when I was out in the middle, the Midwest this past week.
There is a sense that there's a lack of competence, a lack of having their A game at a time when America needs an A game in the White House.
And I think that's going to be the issue.
All these other things are the consequences of the lack of competence.
You pay more at the pumps, you pay more at the, A grocery store, you can't get parts for your car, and you're frustrated because everyday life has become so much more complicated.
John Solomon, is it just the news?
I don't know if you have the time.
You agreed to come on a little late, so can I hold you over for another second or not, John?
Sure.
Absolutely.
We'd be glad to.
Because there's more to talk about today, including the breaking news that this little weasel, Andrew McCabe, is now going to be fully funded and taken great care of financially, courtesy of your taxpayer dollars.
There's nobody That has covered the Russiagate scandal from start to finish, and one of the biggest players in it was Andrew McCabe, so John Solomon will return with that coming up in just a moment or two.
Meanwhile, your calls, I hope you'll come on in.
I'd love to hear from you today.
833-33-GORKA is the number.
833-33-GORKA.
My name's Chris Stigall from Philadelphia's AM 990 The Answer, a proud Sebastian Gorka, America First affiliate.
The Answer
All right, we're back.
Mic's back on.
I think you went 30 seconds early, but it's all right.
Yeah, I don't have a clock in here, unfortunately.
Do you want me to give you a minute or a 30 or something?
A 30 would be great.
I guess you said you were going to start the music at 30.
Yeah, I did it that time.
But hang on real fast.
John's still on the line, by the way.
Hold on one second, I'll make sure you hear this.
Yes.
Alright.
Eric, did you hear that?
I did not hear you, no.
Alright, good.
You want me to give you a minute in your ear or 30?
What do you want me to do?
30's fine.
Alright.
Alright, John's up if you want to talk to him.
Mic's are on, John.
Okay, sounds good.
John, thanks again for this.
I really appreciate the quick interview.
Oh, my pleasure.
So, how are things with filming these days?
Yeah, things are great.
Other than that Thursday night football game last night.
That was painful last night.
You had a fun week there.
You had the Columbus statue boxed in by Wood, right?
And then you've got a DA who's I guess on the Soros sort of program for Releasing criminals.
You've got a fun city for seeing what the left's experiments are going to be for the next year.
You know, one cool thing that happened that's not getting a lot of traction, and I wish it would, the Pennsylvania School Board Association just withdrew from the National School Board Association over the... Wow!
Oh, we've got to get that up on Just the News.
I'll get someone on that right away.
Thank you.
Yeah, I think it's a huge story.
Oh my gosh, yeah, that's an ultimate rejection.
Yeah, there's a lot of discomfort about going after parents.
That is a war that you can't win.
If you'd like, I'll flip you the press release or the tweet that I got.
Yeah, just send it to my, have them send it to my, text it to my email, or text it to my cell phone that you first called me on, and we'll, I'll do something with it.
Oh, that's fantastic.
Great.
Thank you, John.
Yeah, that's great.
I think you're the first state association to pull out of the National School Board Association.
Yeah, they have to be.
I've been watching this for the last couple days.
I know there's been some criticism of the group, but wow, that's a big one.
And they very specifically cited that move by Merrick Garland as what they said, they quote, the last straw.
They'd had apparently previous problems, but they said this was it.
Wow, that's such a good story.
I was proud of him.
I was shocked, actually.
I'll tell you, we're just living in a moment where people are taking stock of the direction of the company and they're just putting a firm flag down saying, enough, enough, this is the final line.
And I think there's going to be a lot more lines like this drawn and divisions created.
Large numbers of Americans are going to walk away from institutions that have abandoned American principles.
I mean, for heaven's sakes, when you talk about four million people leaving the workforce in August, it's crazy.
You know, where'd they go?
They didn't all just decide they didn't like their jobs at once.
No.
No.
And this administration wants to call that a success.
Hey, the program's working, they said.
I guess we are moving towards universal income.
We don't need to work.
We'll just get universal income called welfare.
How's Just The News going, by the way?
I love reading it.
We cite it often on the show.
Thank you.
Yeah, it's doing good.
We're growing.
We've got a large audience, and we've got some nice platforms.
We've got a video platform.
We've got a book platform.
We've got a podcast platform that's really growing by large bounds, and so it's good.
It's a 24-7 job, but I love it, and I love the people I work with.
And little by little, I think we're going to get there.
All right, 20 seconds going, Mike.
You've got a six-minute segment here.
I'll give you a 30 in your ear.
All right, pal, we're coming back.
Standing by.
Making sense out of today's news, here's Dr. Sebastian Gorka.
I Actually, I'm Chris Stegall, in for Dr. Sebastian Gorka today on America First.
I host the morning show on Philadelphia's AM99 to the Answer.
That's Seb's affiliate there in Philly.
Thrilled to be joined again by John Solomon from Just The News.
You know John, because I know he's a regular here.
And he and I were just talking during the break.
I told him some good news.
You know, there's a lot to lament these days for sure, but some good news out of my home state of Pennsylvania.
John, the Pennsylvania School Board Association formally withdrew from the National School Board Association over this Merrick Garland DOJ threat to send the FBI to school board meetings.
They said that's the last straw, we're out.
Big story.
Yes, it is.
That is a powerful rejection.
It's a reminder that some of these institutions that we've come to rely on for decades have abandoned some of the basic American principles that we all share of the country and I think they've gotten so far to the left so far to the woke side that they're in danger of losing their core constituency.
I don't think this will be the last of a series.
I think we're gonna see a series of rejections of institutions that have been trapped by a sudden ideology that doesn't connect with middle America.
But it is a big story, not only for Pennsylvania.
This is a national story.
You better than anybody know this Department of Justice has been weaponized and we've seen it now for years.
This Merrick Garland FBI to the school board meeting thing was just the latest.
Now this story today that Andrew McCabe, I thought of you instantly and I said we got to get John on.
What does John Solomon think of Andrew McCabe having all of his benefits, his retirement, everything fully reinstated?
It is the cherry on top of a very bitter-tasting sundae, because the entire story of Russia collusion has been a story of two justice systems, right?
One for conservatives and everyday Americans, and the other for elitist insiders, bureaucrats, and leftists.
And you see here a man who, there is zero doubt, there's no ambiguity.
It's been determined he lied to an official FBI investigation.
He got fired for lying.
And his reward for that is he's going to be able to get a lifetime pension from the FBI, thanks to the Justice Department.
Now flip it around.
We have Mike Flynn, who ends up getting convicted of a crime, pleading to a crime, that we later learn the FBI agents weren't sure he really lied.
They don't actually think the statement might have been a lie.
He might not have been intending to deceive the FBI.
And so you see that extraordinary dichotomy between the treatment of Flynn And Andrew McCabe, and you see why people are frustrated.
They don't trust their institutions like the Justice Department anymore.
There is a dual system of justice, and this is just the final cherry on that bitter-tasting sundae.
Do we have Merrick Garland to thank for this, too, or is that not his decision to make here?
Well, listen, he ultimately signs off, so the buck stops with him.
But it's the bureaucracy protecting us, right?
The same bureaucracy that gave us all of that bad information that turned out to be Russia collusion.
They're still there.
The majority of the people that ran that investigation, ran that department, they're still working for the Justice Department, and they time and again protect their own.
We had a story earlier this year, all the cases of FBI agents that engaged in egregious sexual harassment, egregious, in some cases, sexual abuse or sexual assault, they all get to retire.
They walk away.
They always decline prosecution.
The permanent bureaucracy protects its own no matter how many times it misbehaves.
Meanwhile, ignoring, as you've well chronicled and I know has been discussed here, ignoring the sex abuse of our women's gymnastics team, also while infiltrating and, you know, literally, unindicted co-conspirators trying to foment kidnappings of governors and other things.
This is such a whacked out wing of our government, John.
It's so out of hand.
Yeah, listen, I think at some point in the not so distant future, America is going to have a conversation about whether it's time to disband the FBI and to recreate a new law enforcement agency for America.
There are enormously talented, great people that every day work inside the FBI, but it has racked up such a record of failure and mismanagement and consequential mismanagement, often from its leadership, right?
Not from the rank and file, but from its leadership.
I would not be surprised in the next five years to see a serious conversation that maybe it's time to create a new agency, start over, rebuild the culture, and get away from some of the problems that this institution has because they're systemic.
The same problems that occurred in the Nassar sexual abuse case with our Olympians were the same ones that affected the FBI before 9-11.
Failure to collect dots, laziness, two offices not Uh, communicating properly.
The FBI, no matter how many times it promises to reform itself, continues to fail.
And I think at some point soon, the American public is going to be able to have a bigger conversation about whether we have the right agency on the job.
John, briefly, what are you working on at Just the News?
What do we need to know?
What should we be paying attention to that maybe we're not?
We just got a new deposition from a man named Dan Jones, a former FBI man who did a lot of the research on that now discredited Alpha Bank Russia alleged computer connection between Trump and Russia that got completely dismissed multiple times.
His deposition is chock full of revelations of how the democratic machinery sustained the bogus story that was Russia collusion.
We're going to have it.
All right, good stuff, guys.
I'm gonna head off to the next... John, thank you.
Oh, anytime!
Really appreciate that.
And I will flip that tweet to you and we'll be in touch.
Yeah, we'll jump on it right now.
Thanks my friend.
Take care.
Bye-bye.
Bye-bye.
Mic's on.
Okay.
I sent you the screenshot of the current call screen, Mr. Seagal.
Okay.
Callers can hear us in the breaks over the mics, so I let you know a few more details in the text message.
Gotcha.
And Jeff can see the call screen as well, so he sees what I'm talking about.
Yes.
All right.
So we got a eight minute segment of, I'll just do 30 in your ear again.
I have all 9 video cuts by the way, Geoff.
If you want any of those video cuts, just call video cut, whatever.
Yeah.
There it is.
Two and a half minutes.
Two minutes.
Were you able to hear that 30 in your ear that time?
I did hear it.
I just hoped he'd rap faster, but that was... No, it was fine.
My fault.
No, no worries.
There's some guests that are so good, you just gotta let them keep going.
You really want to hear what they have to say.
Is your local show in Philly all hard breaks or no?
No, we float.
That's the only thing that's a pain, all these heartbreaks.
Yeah, I'm not.
Honestly, I'm the most undisciplined host on a clock ever.
And for as long as I've done this, I've never ever worked for a boss that isn't furious with me for my lack of clock discipline.
I'm terrible about it.
That's their jobs.
That's the PD's jobs.
That's all they worry about is the clock.
They're religious about it.
They are so loyal and committed to the clock.
I am... I'm terrible.
I just don't pay attention.
I get wrapped up and I either forget or I push it.
Well, as of our national shows, isn't Gallagher the only one who does floating breaks like everyone else does hard breaks like we do?
I think so.
Yeah.
I wonder what that's like.
I wondered that.
that.
45 seconds.
Still, the call board is still the same.
Hasn't changed.
20 seconds.
All right, kill him, Mike.
All right, kill kill him.
This is America first with Sebastian Gorka!
Did you see what's going on in Chicago?
I assume you did.
The Chicago Police Union chief said yesterday that if Lori Lightfoot implements a vaccine mandate, half, ladies and gentlemen, 50%, half of law enforcement in Chicago will walk off the job.
What's Lori Lightfoot say to that today?
Guess the word she used.
She came out today and had a press conference.
You want to guess the word she used?
Insurrection.
Yes, which is so classic left.
They've been trotting that word out since January 6th, haven't they?
And this is the trap that they've been laying all along.
If you oppose government in any form or fashion, no matter what it is, if you oppose the local school board, if you oppose vaccine mandates, if you oppose high gas prices, if you oppose what's going on at the border, if you oppose the way we handled Afghanistan, you're an insurrectionist.
That's the game they've been playing.
Well, we'll see.
You want to talk about insurrection?
You wait until Chicago loses half their police force over this issue.
My name is Chris Stegall, thrilled to be in for Seb today.
I'm the morning show host on his Philadelphia affiliate.
Philadelphia's AM99 to the answer.
You can follow me, I hope you will, on Twitter, on Facebook, on Instagram, Chris Stegall, S-T-I-G-A-L-L, and I've got a daily podcast, too, that I hope you'll check out.
It's at chrisstegall.com.
Let's go to Los Angeles, talk to Doug on America First.
Doug, I'm Chris, in for Seb today.
Hi.
Hey, how are you doing, Chris?
Doing well, sir.
Thank you.
How are you?
Oh, well, I'm trying to get you off my speaker phone so we can have a conversation, but it turned to me that This is more about government control down in Florida, because Biden purposely bought up all the therapeutics to punish DeSantis and the people in Florida.
DeSantis found a way around that, great.
But it's amazing for people who want the public good, why are they chasing health care workers, police, and various other people off of the job?
It has nothing to do with public good.
It has everything to do with government control.
That's what I believe.
Well, I couldn't agree with you more, Doug.
And in fact, you're starting to see hospital CEOs, particularly in smaller rural communities, they're making the decision now.
Do I mandate that my nurses and doctors get the shot and then half of them walk off?
I just read about a Missouri hospital.
It's a county hospital.
It's the only hospital that serves the entire county and I think the northeastern part of Missouri.
If these nurses and doctors walk off the job in mass, the way this hospital CEO believes they will, the county would lose a hospital.
They would have no way to treat their citizens.
And so the CEO has ultimately concluded, I don't want to do it, but I'm just going to have to ignore the government.
I mean, this is, this is the showdown that Biden is putting this country in.
And I'm going to be fascinated to see where it goes.
Who are you betting on, Doug?
You betting on the citizenry to hold firm here?
Have to believe that because they're starting to impinge on civil rights now out in L. A. They now in L. A. County.
You cannot go to a bar, a gym, a nightclub, anywhere public event without showing your vaccination card.
Have to do that.
You're not gonna get in otherwise.
So it's made the businesses in Orange County and Riverside County and the surrounding counties much more popular.
But, uh, there's they're trying to crack down on your ability to assemble your ability to, um, Go to a church service.
Any of that.
You've got to show a vaccine card now in LA County.
Yeah, you guys may have it the worst in the country there in Los Angeles and the state at large.
And incidentally, it's also Los Angeles where I have taken a lot of calls on my show from people in the trucking industry.
They won't even drive, you know, for all we talk about the backup, you know, there's this log jam with container ships and working around the clock to get these ports open.
A lot of truckers won't even drive into California anymore for any host of reasons, be it Be it the vaccine, be it the EPA regulations.
It's nuts out there, man.
As you know.
Yeah, well, I'm trying to run a business and it's hitting in varieties of ways.
I happen to be in the construction area.
You used to be able to get an inspection the next day.
Now it's two weeks.
You can't run a construction crew while you're waiting for an inspector to show up for two weeks.
It's impossible.
You're starting to see More and more people walking off the job.
You are having a worker shortage where competent people are very, very hard to find.
And it's really by design.
I don't think people want to be outed.
I don't think they want to be deal with the stigma of, oh, gee, you're unvaccinated.
And it really has been a very disunifying event for somebody who was trying to unify the country.
Are you still in California?
I know this varies state by state.
A lot of governors appealed back on this, but I assume with Newsom, is he still paying people not to work out there?
Oh, yeah, we're paying people not to work.
Actually, he just he sent it back for rework, actually.
He wanted to pay people to stay sober.
I'm not sure how that's going to work.
Well, yeah, if anything all of his lockdowns, all these arbitrary capricious lockdowns have caused people to get more drunk.
Great commentary, Doug.
I'm so grateful to hear from you, sir.
Thank you.
Have a great day.
That's Doug out there in Los Angeles giving us his take.
Yeah, I do not believe, says the head of the union, the police union in Chicago, I don't believe they have the authority to mandate this to anybody, let alone that information about your medical history, having to turn that over, he says.
Lightfoot promoting the vaccines as safe and effective, accused the FOP chief of making statements that were untrue or patently false.
What we're focused on is making sure we maximize the opportunity to create a very safe workplace.
Never mind the streets run red with blood in Chicago.
Never mind the bodies falling in mass.
It's critically important at this time that all people are vaccinated, you know, to stay safe.
So that you can walk out into the street and be shot to death.
Sight unseen.
It's... The data is very clear.
It is unfortunate the FOP leadership has chosen to put out a counter-narrative.
But the fact of the matter is, if you're not vaccinated, you're playing with your... This is Deloree Lightfoot now.
I don't know how she says it with a straight face.
If you're not vaccinated, you're playing with your life, the life of your family, the life of your colleagues, and members of the public.
Hey, I know we have a great affiliate in Chicago here on America First.
My name's Chris Stegall and for Seb Today, 833-33-GORKA is our number.
Just curious, you good people that listen in the Chicagoland area, 833-33-GORKA The fact of the matter is, if you're not vaccinated, you're playing with your life, the life of your family, the life of your colleagues and members of the public.
Do you fear people unvaccinated more than you fear being shot to death in your city, Chicago?
This is America first.
Mic's are back on.
Alright, you hit it perfect that time.
That was good.
Nicely, nicely.
That last 10 seconds of music you're hearing, that's local stations will play liners.
So, you hit it perfect.
Eric, you got the- Yes, I'll grab that caller.
Oh wow, yeah.
My phone just blew up.
Okay.
America First, what's your name?
Chris, sorry, I didn't even have you on.
Tom, how are you doing?
Alright Chris, perfect job.
They're hitting it up.
All right, and what do you want to say to Chris Segal today?
All right.
����
����
���� ���� ����
���� ���� ���� ���� The antidote to fake news.
America first.
you Coming up, nearly 47% of Americans believe natural immunity to COVID-19 is as effective as getting vaccinated.
COVID natural immunity compared to the vaccine-induced immunity.
Cheryl Atkison has the definitive summary on that.
I speak with Cheryl Atkison coming up In the next hour of America First, my name is Chris Stegall, in for Sebastian Gorka today.
Thrilled to be with you.
I host the morning show on Seb's affiliate in Philadelphia.
AM 99 to the answer.
Let's head to the phone, talk to Tom in Oregon.
Tom, I'm Chris, in for Seb today.
Glad to have you on America First.
Hi there, thank you.
Yes, it's good to get in on this show.
And my question, I wanted to kind of get a little question in to John Solomon on the Because they investigate and whatnot, but how the people or all the illegals coming in with the help of the cartels run the border and they don't have money right off.
And how are they getting the money back to the cartels?
And what kind of tracking the cartels are doing on these people or what jobs they're finding for them or putting them under?
I think it's a whole unreported situation going on.
You're so right, and I appreciate your calling for pointing it out.
I'll pass the question on to John.
It's worth discussing.
Yes, these people that the cartels drop off, it's not like they just let them go and go home.
Oh, no, no, no.
These are people that are basically indentured servants, and all the cash From either the human trafficking, the almost slave labor, if you will.
These people live for fear of their lives.
And if they go get a job, if they work, that money is going right to those cartels.
You're exactly right.
I've heard that from Tom Holman and other former and current Department of Homeland Security officials who've confirmed as much.
Thank you, Tom in Oregon.
Let's go to another Tom in South Carolina on America First.
Tom, I'm Chris, and for Seb Today, hi!
Hi, how you doing?
Doing well, sir.
Thanks for the call.
Yeah, it's great to call.
You know, I just was wondering, you know, all this time, you know, all the people that have gotten vaccinated, you know, a bunch of them think that everybody should get vaccinated.
In other words, there's something wrong with you if you don't.
Is there something in the vaccine, in the shot, that makes them want everybody else to get it?
Well, I could never know that, and I don't even know that that's true, but I think there is, undoubtedly, there's this obsession, this notion, that if you get the shot, you're safe.
You're safe.
There are so many people, too many people, and I would just say... I don't want to talk anybody...
Well, but I mean, I don't want to talk anybody into it or out of it, because that's between you and your doctor, and you make that call, but my point is, too many people have been told, once you get the shot, you're guaranteed, you're ironclad safe, you'll never get sick.
That's just not true.
Breakthrough cases are out there, and they're aggressive, and you don't have to, I mean, look, Jesse Jackson.
Chris Rock, Reba McIntyre, just off the top of my head are some famous names who have just had breakthrough cases after being vaccinated.
So, it is not true that the damn shot is a panacea.
It's not.
And we need to stop talking about it as such.
We need to talk about therapeutics.
And if, heaven forbid, you get sick or very sick with COVID, there are...
We will explore that coming up.
We will explore that coming up.
We will explore that coming up.
We will explore that coming up.
We will explore that coming up.
We will explore that coming up.
We will explore that coming up.
We will explore that coming up.
We will explore that coming up.
We will explore that coming up.
The End
We will explore that coming up.
Thank you.
Such an honor to be with you here on America First.
My name is Chris Stegall from Philadelphia's AM99 to the Answer, Dr. Gorka's affiliate in Philadelphia, and thrilled to be with one of the last true journalists I know of out there.
I mean, we have a few, and they're good ones, but she's one of the best in my book.
She's a very busy woman, though.
So when I talk to her, I love to soak up my time.
She's Cheryl Atkison.

She's on Twitter.
She hosts Full Measure on Sinclair Television.

Cheryl, thanks for your time.
Hi.
Hi, great to be here.
Yes, I'm very busy, but always have time for Chris.
Oh, thank you.
You've done a lot of work on a lot of things, so I don't want to give short shrift to anything that's particularly A passion of yours right now, but I guess I'll lead off with, in the now two years of this pandemic, you've done quite a bit of reporting and you had previously on kind of the pharmaceutical industry in general, vaccines in general.
Where is Sheryl Atkinson right now with COVID therapies, vaccines?
Well, as I've learned more and learned which scientists have been correct in retrospect that I consulted, I've gotten, you know, to look at a track record and figure out who's right, who's been wrong, and who to listen to.
So, that's kind of how I get my direction on stories that I don't know much about in the beginning.
Now we're, what, a year and a half, almost two years into it.
And I think the ones who sit on the front end, you know, they told me, and this includes scientists who worked on some of the vaccines, that they don't work very well, they don't last very long.
We now know that's true.
They may last two months, three months, maybe six months in some people.
That's been widely recognized now as an issue.
And I think, you know, I don't give advice on this vaccine or what people should do because I wouldn't dream to give medical advice to people I've never met, unlike many reporters right now who are just insisting everybody get vaccinated.
I respect those who've read up and know their individual situation, have consulted their doctors and decided to get vaccinated or decided not to get the COVID vaccine.
But I will tell you that the March Toward Herd Immunity, which a CDC-funded study said we were there last March because so many people either had the vaccine or had gotten COVID naturally, that that was interrupted by the fact that the vaccine hasn't held up its end of the bargain.
People who've been vaccinated are getting COVID in large numbers and so the herd immunity is taking longer.
But more people are getting naturally infected and The scientists seem to think that we're getting very close to the natural infection rate that will protect most people and hopefully end this thing.
Have you seen yet, I don't know if you have seen it going around, the sit-down interview between podcaster Joe Rogan and Sanjay Gupta of CNN?
Have you read or seen anything about that yet?
I just saw a tiny clip where it seemed like Sanjay Gupta didn't really know what to say or didn't really understand what Joe Rogan was getting at when he was asking, don't you understand why some people don't think their kids need the vaccine?
And I think he was spot on.
Many people According to CDC, most people will handle COVID if exposed without getting sick at all or very sick.
And the notion that everybody should therefore be forced to take a not very effective vaccine that does have some side effects does seem heavy-handed and illogical.
And I think the oddest thing about all this, and I don't know if they got into that in their podcast, is the government's refusal to acknowledge the power of natural immunity, which is the thing that all the bulk of studies which I have listed at my website, the natural immunity after you have COVID, is proving far more enduring and powerful than the vaccines as far as immunity.
There's no question about that in these studies.
I think CDC tried to pose one unpublished report that claimed the opposite or that you're better off if you get vaccinated anyway.
But that's not what the studies say.
Dozens and dozens of them.
And yet the government will not take that into account as if you have nothing, if you've previously had COVID, as if you have no immunity.
Yeah, see, Cheryl, Sanjay Gupta, I think this went so poorly for him, truthfully.
I mean, at least the clip, I haven't listened to the entire, you know, full disclosure.
I haven't listened to it all.
I've only seen some of the clips.
There have been two that I thought were particularly devastating.
One was the one you referenced.
The other one where Rogan really admonishes him for what CNN characterized as him taking a horse dewormer, this ivermectin thing.
And he kept pressing Gupta, isn't it irresponsible of your network to continue to assert that I took a horse pill, a horse dewormer?
You know good and well that's not what ivermectin is, that's not what I took.
There are versions for the animal, but there's human versions and it's been prescribed by billions.
Gupta was forced to acknowledge that's true.
Wouldn't really, couldn't I guess, really explain his network's position in mocking Rogan for taking it, but this is what's so disconcerting to me.
You're a journalist, you entertain all comers, you vet and air all sides of this discussion.
Guys like Gupta and his network mock you, ridicule you if there's anything but the shot spoken of on their network.
Well, I have actually seen Gupta in the past.
He's more measured.
He's not well read in on some controversies, and he does do what I guess you could call the party line.
It's not always accurate, but he is better than CNN at large from what I've seen on some medical issues, and he will acknowledge points and things that he does know about.
I don't know that you can paint him exactly with all the ones at CNN that say all that crazy stuff, but I agree that You know, they've ruined their own credibility.
I'm talking about people in the media and public health officials by plastering reports with, for example, you said the horse medicine, you know, medicine that isn't horse medicine.
I mean, it is, but that's not what most anybody was taking.
And people see that either that works for them or they are reading studies and they actually know what's going on.
And it makes them suspicious that public health officials in the media that we're supposed to trust are saying these crazy things.
And they start to understand or believe that they're not getting the truth on many important things.
So that even when public health officials in the media might be giving us accurate information, well, we're skeptical because we've been given so much false information by then.
And now I think people have learned that when the media and these public health officials go after something as sort of a mob with the smearing that they do, that maybe that's the thing you ought to look into because that thing might turn out to be right or that thing might turn out to be true.
The opposite of what they're saying.
That's what they're teaching us.
I'll move off of Gupta, Cheryl Atkison, but just one more thing I wanted to address is he runs to his own blog at CNN and writes about this interview, this sit-down exchange he has with Rogan, in my opinion, to do a little damage control because he knows it didn't go well for him.
It really didn't, I didn't think, but he writes, it bears repeating, no one should choose infection over vaccine.
That is the concern many public health officials have had since the earliest days of the pandemic.
If nothing else comes of my conversation with Joe Rogan, I hope at least this point does, far too many people have become severely ill and died even after effective vaccines became available.
He goes on to cite some stats.
At the same time, an Israeli study garnered a lot of attention after it appeared to show natural immunity offered significant protection, even stronger than two doses of the vaccines.
So the question Joe raises, and this is the point I wanted to share with you Cheryl, the question Joe raises, writes Gupta, as do many others, why should those who have previously had COVID still get the vaccine?
He writes, It's a fair question and one that I asked Dr. Anthony Fauci back in early September.
At the time he told me there was no firm answer on this and they were still looking into what the recommendations should be going forward and how durable natural immunity is in the long run.
And then he says, part of the issue is we still don't have a clear idea how many people contracted COVID in the United States, but he moves away.
He completely moves off of it.
So Gupta, to your point, he does acknowledge it's a credible question.
Then he acknowledges he asked Fauci, and he's basically admitting, and Fauci admits, they don't know, but they're still confident it's still better to have the vaccine even if you've had COVID.
They've not proven that.
They won't even answer that.
They can't.
You know, they know that it's not according to the bulk of the studies that are coming out.
And again, I've listed them so people can read them on my natural immunity article.
You don't have to believe me or Gupta or Fauci.
You can just look at the studies and make your own conclusions.
But they are saying that with the vaccine wearing off and not working very well, They now know that natural immunity, which has been around longer than the vaccine because people have gotten COVID for a longer period, that it's better and longer lasting.
It doesn't mean nobody will get it twice, and just like it doesn't mean that people who are vaccinated won't get it, they're getting it in large numbers, but far fewer people.
I believe in Israel, and I made a chart in that article, out of 6,000 newish cases when Delta first started to rise, Slightly more than half were in unvaccinated people, slightly less than half were in vaccinated people, but only a slice of about one percent, think of this, one percent of this pie chart were in people who'd had COVID before.
Far beating out the vaccinated for all kinds of reasons.
So there's no doubt about this, but I'll tell you there is a narrative, a false narrative, that the government is pushing, that the media is helping with, And we caught them in full measure.
Actually, Congressman Massey caught them and recorded top CDC officials and scientists admitting that they had falsely claimed to doctors and the public that there's an advantage shown in studies to getting vaccinated, even if you've had COVID.
Then they admitted with him in this recording that that's not true.
They admitted they were saying it.
Oh, all of our top vaccine experts missed this mistake that you caught, Congressman Massey.
You're so smart.
And then they continued, after admitting this to him, to putting out the false information.
Cheryl, let me take a quick break here on America First, and I want to come back.
I have plenty more to talk to you about, including the new Katie Couric book that's just come to light, and some of the things she said that she's kept from the public.
Shocker!
That's next on America First.
More with Cheryl Atkinson in a moment.
The End
Thank you.
Thank you.
I Hi there, my name's Chris Stegall, in for Dr. Sebastian Gorka today.
I host the morning show on Philadelphia's AM99 to the Answer, Dr. Gorka's Philadelphia affiliate.
Glad to be joined by Cheryl Atkison, who was good enough to hold with us through the break.
Cheryl, welcome back.
The why is always, of course, critical, and I know that's why as a journalist, Cheryl, you're always digging, what is the why?
What is the overwhelming sense that ultimately, really, for whatever reason, there is a singular Passionate vociferous focus on everybody takes this damn shot.
That is the push.
That's the demand.
That's the expectation.
Corporate America partnering with government.
You'll lose your job if you don't get the shot.
That's the only way.
It's the only answer.
It's the only thing to discuss.
Get the shot.
So that always leads me to inevitably why this passionate vociferous insistence without question.
We all get the shot.
Where's it coming from?
What drives it?
Well, there's a couple of things, and I've asked scientists about this who don't believe that's what ought to be happening.
And, of course, you know me, I've learned over the past 20 years, in my view, that government and the pharmaceutical industry is one and the same for many purposes.
So when they make a decision like this that's contrary to logic and common sense in public health, in my opinion, they're being influenced by industry, number one.
Number two, there's a lot of narratives.
Now, if let's say that as more people get COVID despite the fact that they've been vaccinated and that more unvaccinated people have, you know, gotten COVID over time and we're nearing what they call herd immunity, they want to be able to, one scientist told me, Credit the vaccine when COVID dies out.
They don't want people to understand that that's not what did it.
They don't want people to say, gosh, maybe we should have let it run through originally and be done with it.
Look, it goes away on its own.
The vaccines didn't work.
They want people to think, well, once we all got the vaccines, COVID went away.
And if they can get on the leading edge of that wave and pretend that it was the vaccines that did it, Then history will say, look what the vaccines did and now you need them every year when some scientists don't think that they're playing the role that the government is pretending.
One interesting piece of evidence.
The government, the CDC, was putting out a number of people they estimate have been infected that may have had no symptoms, may not have gone to the doctor.
We know how infectious COVID is.
And at the end of May, the government said it was 120 million people.
That's a lot of America.
Had been naturally infected and survived or not even had symptoms, but have natural immunity by and large.
Well, they quit updating that number May 29th.
Why did the government stop telling us how many people were already immune to a natural infection on May 29th?
And I started asking them a couple of weeks ago, what's the update?
Surely they're tracking that number.
I don't know why they're not publicizing it.
And they started telling me, well, we're going to update that soon.
We're going to update that soon.
I've been checking every day and they don't.
Why is that a number you'd be keeping secret, the number of Americans who have natural immunity to infection that CDC estimates?
Draw your own conclusions, but it's in line with this whole notion that they're trying to convince everybody to get vaccinated anyway.
Yeah, my wife and I just a couple of weeks ago came through COVID and it was a rough ride, I won't lie.
We both got monoclonal antibody treatment, Cheryl, and on a dime it reversed course for us right away.
And I talked a lot about it on my show and there was great interest in it by a lot of people who still, at this hour, and understandably because if you try to look into it for yourself or you learn where you could go get it for yourself, depending on where you live, It's very hard to find.
It's very hard to find.
And it's still very hard to understand.
And a lot of people still don't know it.
And I think that's a crying shame.
I think it's criminal.
Because regardless of what you think about the shot, if you get COVID, it can really knock you out.
And I think there are now existing working therapies that really reverse course and save people's lives and keep them out of the hospital.
DeSantis is showing that in Florida.
I don't know why these aren't readily available and discussed, and people are more informed about it, but they're not.
They just won't tell folks about it.
It's the shot, the shot, the shot, and only the shot.
It makes me so mad.
Well, several scientists have used the word independently crime when they've told me what they think is happening.
They said that public health officials, again these are scientists who work at universities and in public positions, they said that the misinformation coming out from the government and the withholding of effective treatments early on through now, or at least the controversialization of them, Has cost many lives, they believe.
And they've used the word crime to describe it.
My friends in Florida, a lot of people, practically everybody I know vaccinated and unvaccinated alike have gotten COVID in the past couple of months.
And I'm hearing the same thing about the monoclonals.
I haven't looked into it, but just anecdotally, my sister told me, you know, her guy that does work on her house was very sick and actually thought he was going to die.
And she mentioned the monoclonal antibodies.
He'd never heard of it.
And he went out that day.
He called her later and he said, I found a place.
I got him.
He goes, I felt better almost instantly.
And he said, I got to tell you, I thought I was going to die.
Yes.
And he'd not even heard of this treatment.
Like you said, it's just not being, you know, publicized enough.
So grateful.
Cheryl Atkison's work at Full Measure.
CherylAtkison.com.
Boy, read everything she writes.
Watch everything she produces.
It's fantastic.
It's not just on COVID, by the way.
She does so much more.
I would be remiss if I didn't let you in on this one.
I don't know how much you've read or heard about it.
But I wanted to get your take before I let you go.
Katie Couric has apparently got a new book out there, and I don't know if you've read or heard the news coming out of it, where she admits she, quote, protected Ruth Bader Ginsburg in an interview she did with her by editing out remarks on anthem kneelers.
And here's what it is, if you don't know.
Katie Couric selectively edited Ginsburg's comments by omitting a direct quote saying those that kneel during the anthem were showing contempt for a government that has made it possible for their parents and grandparents to live a decent life.
This is from the Daily Mail.
Couric said she was conflicted.
About including the Justice's comments because she was a big RBG fan, unquote, and admitted to seeking advice from fellow journalists about what to do.
Ultimately, the story she wrote at Yahoo News did not include those quotes from Ginsburg, saying Neillers were, quote, dumb and disrespectful, and left out other remarks.
So, she said she wanted to protect Ginsburg and talked with other journalists about that.
Cheryl Atkinson, as a journalist, I don't know your relationship, if any, with Katie Couric, but what do you make of that story?
Well, I know, Katie, and I just assume not pile on, but I would just tell you in a general sense, this happens all the time.
It's kind of what I've written about, as you know, Chris, in my books in a slightly different way.
The media is constantly and increasingly using their own personal filters When they're deciding what to report and not just leaving out stuff.
I mean obviously my big problem is when they're making stuff up or reporting facts that are contrary to reporting things that are contrary to the facts because they want to get across a certain impression to make people think a certain way.
And I try every day as I'm doing my reporting to tell myself as as I really thought this out years ago not to worry about what people should think at the end of my story, to let them have their own conclusion, even if it's the opposite of what I happen to personally think, but to simply put it out there, put the information out there for people to consume.
And I just don't think that's done enough.
She is the host of Full Measure on Sinclair Television International.
If you don't know where that's found, you can find it by going to CherylAtkisson.com.
That's also where you can get the full list of her books.
If you haven't read her books, she's on Twitter.
Read her books.
All New York Times bestsellers.
The show is fantastic.
And like I said, it's not just COVID.
She does a host of different things.
And she likes to go places where most of mainstream media doesn't go.
Things they don't talk about.
Subjects that you don't traditionally hear on cable news.
She's one of my favorite people, period, and certainly my favorite person in journalism because she still really does it and believes in it.
Cheryl Atkinson, thanks for your time today.
Chris, thank you.
I'm glad you and your wife came through COVID fine.
And to emphasize, I certainly respect the choices that people make on their own on these medical decisions.
And I'm not anti-vaccine nor pro-vaccine for any particular individual or vaccine.
And again, so glad that you're good to go now.
Thank you, Cheryl.

I'm Chris Stigall, in for Dr. G, and this is America First.
All right, bikes are back. .
Mike's are back on.
Chris, you there?
He has stepped away from the mic for a moment, it appears.
So then, um... Oh yeah, so just open segment this segment?
Yep.
Got it.
Cause.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Hello, hello!
Hello, Chris.
Hey, did you, um... I sent you a text.
Did you get that embed?
I did.
You gotta do two 15-seconds.
Um, we do one here and then we do one in the other hour.
First, what's your name?
So, I come back and read... Just a 15-second.
It's quick.
Is it car?
Yep, car firearms.
So that 15, I come back and I read that and then say, what, that he's got an interview coming up?
Yeah, it'd be best if you want to do it out and just say he's, say it's Second Amendment Friday and just say Dr. G's interviewing Brandon Maddox.
It's Brandon Maddox.
From Carr Firearms.
No, he's not from Carr Firearms.
So what do you think it is?
Car is the sponsor.
So as I go out into the third break, I should do that 50%.
Yep.
You don't even have to mention that Brandon matters.
You can just say, you know, 2nd Amendment Friday interview if you want.
Okay All right, so six-minute segment here I'll give you the cue at 30.
You got a full call board if you want to do calls.
Okay.
Okay, alright.
Okay, yeah, I'll put you on hold and see if we can get you on the air.
Please stand by.
Thanks for calling in.
America first what's your name?
Where are you calling from?
I'm All right, and what do you want to say to Chris Stigall?
Actual headline on the Neil Cavuto show...
Okay, and uh... I looked up during the break.
What was it?
Breakups, a common theme in music industry.
That is honestly what the chyron said.
Fox News alert.
Breakups, a common theme in music industry.
And everything's an alert.
Alright, 10 seconds.
Call the mic.
The quest for the MAGA truth is not archaeology.
It's a race against evil.
If it is discovered by the Democrats, the armies of darkness will march all over the face of the Earth.
Do you understand?
Good.
That's pretty solid.
How you doing?
My name is Chris Stegall, morning host on Philadelphia's AM 990, The Answer, in for Seb today.
And we're a proud Sebastian Gorka and Salem Radio Group affiliate.
They're in the birthplace of the United States, Philadelphia.
I know that people quibble with that, but we own it anyway.
At least As we, as founded, all right, I'll give, okay, I understand there are people in Massachusetts that get mad at me when I say things like that, and New York for that matter, but you know what I mean.
We're the birthplace of the Declaration of Independence, and our Constitution happened.
So, honored to be with you today.
Telephone number.
833-33-GORKA if you want to come on in here.

My pal Steve Moore is just around the corner.
We're going to talk to him about all the economic news.
None of it good, incidentally.
Actually, some hilarious headlines coming out of CNN.
It's getting so bad, I don't know if it's a Joe Rogan thing or what it is.
CNN has been forced To acknowledge how dire things are economically.
So we'll get into all that coming up.
Don't go anywhere.
Let's start in New Jersey.
Go to Mike.
Hey, Mike!
Glad you called America First.
I'm Chris in for Seb today.
Hi.
Hey, Chris.
Great to hear you in the afternoon.
I normally catch you in the morning on my way home from work.
Oh, amen!
Thank you so much, my friend.
You've got a critical gubernatorial race there in Jersey.
How are you feeling about it?
Cittarelli versus Murphy.
Come on, Jack.
Please come on, Jack.
Being trapped here in the United Communist Republic of New Jersey has been so trying throughout the whole COVID process.
I'm an ITU nurse.
Phil Murphy, by the way, folks, for anybody, now Mike, you know this, and we talk a lot about it on my morning show, the most classic clip in all of COVID history, in my mind, is Phil Murphy telling Tucker Carlson, I wasn't thinking about the Bill of Rights when I implemented all the lockdowns.
I wasn't, that's above my grade.
The most amazing line ever uttered by a governor, I have to believe.
The whole thing was just a complete Buffoonery is all I could say.
Just all the mandates, lockdowns, taking our kids out of school.
Your spot was Cheryl there talking about the vaccines.
So, as I mentioned, I'm an ICU nurse, so I personally am pro-vaccine, but I am anti-mandate.
There should be no vaccine mandate.
There should be no mask mandate.
By the way, I really appreciate that.
I think that's a very sane, sober, reasonable position to take.
You're in medicine, and I know that a lot of people in medicine differ on this.
Many in medicine feel that it should be required amongst all of you in medicine, but I know that there are hospitals that are afraid that if they do it, they'll literally lose half or more of their staffs, particularly in rural hospitals.
So what do you say about that specifically as an ICU nurse?
Well, I work in two, so Jersey has a couple of big health systems.
I work for two different health systems.
One of the health systems that I work for, they did finally mandate that their health care workers be vaccinated.
Again, I'm anti-mandate.
I think that people should be able to make the choice for themselves.
Now you're starting to hear rumblings about Some providers say, Oh, if you're not vaccinated, we're not going to treat you, which is completely absurd and completely ridiculous.
Um, you know, people need to make these choices for themselves.
Um, and to say that if you don't have a vaccine, you can't come to this restaurant or you can't go, you know, this vaccine shaming, I guess it is, is, is ridiculous.
I was one of the first people to get vaccinated in my hospital.
So, I do personally.
So my sample size for efficacy is a bit smaller than the eggheads over there at the CDC.
Well let me ask you this, because you've had the vaccine, you got it I assume before you've ever had COVID.
What of people that have had COVID and have yet to have the vaccine?
I would be one of those people.
Would you say now that I've had COVID, do you like my natural immunity?
Or would you still personally as an ICU nurse suggest I get the vaccine?
Word up to you.
Um, so no, since you just came through it, you just came through COVID.
So you're not even eligible for the vaccine right now.
Most, in most cases they want to set, you know, you should, you should be waiting 90, greater than 90 days.
I think I actually had COVID before we knew COVID was going to blow up.
Um, I'm, I've never sick and I was sick for a week.
Like I've never been sick before.
Do you like natural immunity?
Would you say that your peers and colleagues in medicine like the idea of natural immunity?
Or mostly not?
Or half and half?
Or does that come up much in medicine?
Because I don't feel like it's discussed very often, frankly.
So, you know what, I like the idea of just getting back to normal and getting out from under the thumb of these people who pretend to do everything in our best interest.
But if you have antibodies, then, you know, the immunity is going to work pretty good for you.
If you got the vaccine, it's going to work pretty good for you.
But you are correct.
Earlier, I'm talking about the breakthrough cases.
So I have seen with my own eyes breakthrough cases.
I've seen people who have been vaccinated pass away.
Mike, I got to run, and I am so grateful that you called.
Car firearms fighting for America.
Sebastian Gorka's Second Amendment Friday is coming up, and you don't want to miss it.
Thanks for the call, Mike, on America First.
All right, we're good. .
I don't know if I got that in or not, I'm sorry.
No, we'll just, don't worry, we can do it at any time, so just do it in the, like that E segment, or the fifth segment.
I am just, am I deaf, or are you playing music?
I must be missing music.
I'm trying not to do it too loud, that's fine.
Okay.
Are you hearing the 30s or no?
I do hear you, the problem is, you know, the 30s always happen when the guys are doing it.
I know, I saw that.
Yeah.
Yeah, that's why, he was a good call too.
Yeah, he was.
Oh, this is the, uh, the Second Amendment segment, right?
Yeah.
That's right, okay.
Now, that's funny.
Thank you.
We'll be right back.
For that reason, CAR Firearms is teaming up with America First in 2021.
CAR believes Americans shouldn't be afraid to publicly stand up for our freedoms.
This is about more than being a gun enthusiast.
This is a very personal issue as we struggle for the soul of America.
CAR wants America First listeners to know that they are not afraid to publicly support Second Amendment Friday.
Check out car firearms, I carry a 9mm car, an amazing line of US-made weapons at K-A-H-R dot com.
That's K-A-H-R dot com.
We have a very special guest today.
So, you know, James Bond, movies, villains.
Sooner or later somebody's gonna pull out a silencer.
It's not a silencer, it's a suppressor, guys!
And it doesn't go...
Not in real life, anyway.
I've got several of them, and they're good.
They protect your hearing, but it's not quite like the movies.
Let's talk to a man who is an expert.
He is the CEO of a very different suppressor company.
It's called SilencerCentral.com.
Mr. Brandon Maddox, welcome to America First.
Thanks for having me, sir.
Now, you have a very different company, okay?
I got into NFA items, the National Firearms Act, ages ago.
I love short-barred rifles, short-barred shotguns and suppressors.
And it used to be, you know, this thing that, oh, nobody can buy those.
And it's just so hard.
And it's a lot of paperwork and sort of waiting around.
And then you've got to pay the tax man.
You've got to pay the ATF.
You've kind of revolutionized all of that.
Will you tell us a little bit about SilencerCentral.com?
Yeah, sure, absolutely.
So we're licensed in 42 states, so that's the number of states where silencers are lawful at a state level.
Of course, they're available federally.
But what we've done is we're actually the manufacturer, we're the wholesaler, and we're the dealer.
So, like you said, a lot of people are afraid to get involved in the process of purchasing a silencer just because of their concern of the paperwork.
So we've sort of taken that burden and put it on our shoulders, serving as the manufacturer, wholesaler, and the dealer, so you only have one point of contact throughout the entire process.
And the beautiful thing is, once we do all the paperwork for you, and once the Feds approve it, we can mail it to your front door.
Oh my gosh, don't let the Democrats hear that!
You can get suppressors mailed to your front door.
How much has this changed the way that America... because haven't we... you've been in the business since when, Mr. Maddox?
Yeah, good question.
So 2005 is when we started and we've just sort of evolved our processes over the years and expanded to more states.
And just in the last few years, we've gotten up to the full 42 states.
We like to work events because we could do all the paperwork at the event and then mail it to their front door.
But we also take, you know, Tons of orders over the internet, over the phone.
We have a full call center here in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, where people call in and buy them all day long.
Wow.
So talk to those who may not be familiar with this, not familiar with the hoops that you had to jump through before you guys came along.
How much has the market changed?
Because seriously, 10 years ago, 20 years ago, it was like, oh my gosh, Somebody's got a suppressor on the range.
Today it is not unusual to see.
How much has the market changed in, say, just the last couple of years?
Yeah, you know, that's a good question.
So if you look back at 2005 when I started, there was probably 100,000 silencers total in the entire marketplace that had ever been made.
Now it's up to like 2.2 million.
Wow.
You see about a 40% increase every year.
Now, of course, we've doubled and tripled our volume each year just because we've continued to expand to more states so we can service that entire population in every state.
And I have to ask you personally, since you are the expert, you're the CEO, direct thread or trilog attachment?
What's your favorite?
What is your favorite way to put the silencer on the weapon?
Yeah, good question.
Direct thread is always the best.
It's going to shoulder up against the barrel better so you can have better accuracy.
You know, whenever I've used the three lug connectors, which I have on some of my submachine guns, you seem to get baffle strikes.
That spring trying to hold it in place is not going to give you the same accuracy you're going to have with a direct thread.
So direct thread is always more accurate.
So that's typically what I say is.
Yeah, you don't have baffle strikes.
what's going to help give you the best accuracy.
Because a lot of guys are using them for hunting now and long-range shooting, and they want to make sure that they have that precision accuracy.
Yeah, you don't want to have baffle strikes.
And why should every shooter, you don't have to be a super high-speed X operator, why is a suppressor, why is a silencer good for even just the hobbyist?
Yeah, so the big benefit that people forget about is the recoil reductions.
So you can take a, you know, handgun or a rifle and make it feel like a rimfire type, uh, you know, application.
So it just really helps from the recoil.
Obviously the sound, a lot of people like to shoot in groups where you can talk to people back and forth, especially hunting with friends or a child.
Um, so the, you know, obviously the hearing part, you know, a huge benefit lately has been hunting.
It's really exploded in the, in the Southern States where they shoot feral hogs at night.
To be able to shoot and whatever you're shooting at can't tell where it actually came from.
Like you mentioned, they still hear it, but they can't tell sort of the point of where it started the bullet.
And that gives a major advantage for the varmint hunting, feral hogs, but, you know, obviously the hearing protection is a huge benefit, the recoil reduction.
Yeah, it's really catching on.
There's a lot of people that say, hey, I love to shoot.
I just hate the recoil and the sound.
Well, this fixes that.
I grew up in Europe and there in numerous states, in the Scandinavian states, for example.
It is seen as a tool of hunting.
It's seen as the sociable way to shoot because your firearm is quieter.
In some countries, they're not even regulated.
Do you think there's any chance in America?
I know Don Jr.
and others have been lobbying for this.
Do you think we can do away with that stupid NFA Act in the near future?
You know, we hope so.
I think that part of it is just the education.
And we talked about earlier, you know, only a hundred thousand of them are really on the books in 2005.
And now fast forward, there's probably two and a half million on the books.
So the more people that buy them, that see the benefit of them, then they're going to be in a better position to educate their legislators.
You know, it only makes sense, but of course, you know, from a political perspective, there's a $200 tax stamp on everyone you buy.
So the government's making, you know, hundreds of millions of dollars that's going directly to the treasury.
So that just makes it, More of a political, you know, hot potato to fix the tax issue at the same time of redefining how they look at an NFA item.
Guys, you've got to try it out.
If you live in a free state, you can even get it shipped to your door now, thanks to Mr. Maddox and his colleagues.
If you've got somebody in the family who doesn't like to shoot, doesn't like the recall, doesn't like the loud report of the weapon, Get one of these and show them just how civilized a day out you can have with your favorite firearm.
We've been talking to Brandon Maddox.

And that's car firearms.
The number 833-33-GORKA.
My name is Chris Stigall, filling in for Dr. G today.
It's a thrill to be with you.
If you want to reach us, come on in.
833-33-GORKA.
Let's go to Ursula in Cincinnati, Ohio.
Ursula, I'm sure glad you called America First.
I'm Chris, in for Seb today.
Hi.
Hi there.
Thanks for taking my call.
You bet.
So I'm calling Well, I'm just calling in regard to the last caller before the previous recorded segment, the ICU nurse who was talking about, yeah, it was a good call, but one aspect I would have liked to have heard more about from his perspective is as a healthcare professional, as a nurse in ICU, what's his perspective on concerns about the vaccine
the adverse reactions to the vaccine, which we're seeing bared out in the VAERS data and what he's seeing in reality.
He mentioned someone that he'd seen people die or at least one person, one patient die who was vaccinated, but didn't elaborate on his perspective on that. - Yeah, you know, Ursula, it's just, I would love, I really would, and I don't find this to be true, at least for my I really would, and I don't find this to be true, Maybe it happens here on America First, and I appreciate your call.
I would love for America's doctors and nurses to call shows like this and talk a lot more.
I really would love to hear them.
I would rely on them.
But I find that this has become so politicized That the doctors that I have talked to privately, they will never go on the air and say the things they say to me privately.
They're scared to death.
And so are a lot of nurses.
And a lot of nurses have walked away and walked off the job.
So have doctors over this vaccine thing.
And we're not talking about it.
It's just this... We have become scarily, eerily, quiet amongst the medical community when discussing this shot.
There's just no talk about it.
It's just it is.
It's a fact.
Don't question it.
I don't care for that even a little bit.
Steve's in San Antonio, Texas.
Steve, I only have like 30 seconds.
If you can do it, go for it, man.
Yes.
Greetings.
Anyway, just wanted to say that I had my vaccine and one shot in March.
I got COVID last month.
It was misdiagnosed as a sinus infection.
I wasn't feeling better a week later.
They tested me and I came up positive.
I didn't have any early treatment because by that time I was more than halfway through it.
But anyway, I just wanted to let your listeners know that, hey, this stuff can happen.
And if you have the vaccine, it seems to lessen the effects.
And by the way, my girlfriend had both shots and she didn't get COVID and we weren't exactly social distancing.
Everybody is an individual case and we should treat people as such.
Therapies work just as well as maybe the vaccine does for others.
All options on the table.
That's what I'm a fan of.

After beating up on oil and gas industry, Biden now seeks its help.
Hehehe.
Inflation, inflation, inflation is the word of the day and everybody sees it.
If you go to the gas pump and you fill up your car, you know how much more expensive gas is.
If you've been to the grocery store, you know how much more expensive food is.
It's unavoidable.
It's undeniable.
You're starting to see empty grocery store shelves.
You're starting to see a lack of supplies.
Everything from cars to appliances.
And there is no amount of spin.
There is no amount of talking your way out of it if you're a circle back girl Jen Psaki at the White House.
You can't get around it.
People are living this inflation.
And Biden knows.
CNN knows.
Folks, CNN knows.
I don't know if you follow If I know you, if you listen in Philadelphia for instance, perhaps you follow me on social media.
If you and I have never had the pleasure of meeting, I hope you follow me on Twitter or Facebook or Instagram.
I put a picture up today, a screenshot, I couldn't believe it.
While I was doing my morning show in Philadelphia this morning, I nearly fell out of my chair.
They put up a graphic, increases are causing your family hardship.
With the Chiron, gas prices are up, which is bad news for Democrats.
They were going over inflationary numbers.
Said, causing your family hardship, gas prices are up, bad news for Democrats.
That's at CNN this morning, ladies and gentlemen.
So, knowing this, what does Biden do?
Grandpa runs over, the stupid old man we're supposed to pretend is president, runs over to the energy industry and says, will you help us?
Did you see these morons at the Department of the Interior today?
Do we have that video cut, Jeff?
Take a look at this.
Video cut seven.
These lunatics chanting at the Department of Interior today.
While we're in the middle of hyperinflation and we've already got a jackass policy of shutting down our oil pipelines, listen to these morons as you're paying who knows what at the pump, depending on which region of the country you live.
Can't drink oil!
Keep it in the soil!
Keep it in the soil!
Can't drink oil!
Can't drink oil!
Keep it in the soil!
Keep it in the soil!
We stand!
We stand!
We're brothers!
We're brothers!
We're sisters!
We stand!
We stand!
We're people!
We're people!
All nations!
All nations!
We stand!
Is there anyone in that video, fellas, as best you can tell, that looks like they're under the age of 30?
Or over the age of 30, I should say.
Is there anyone in that video that looks to be over the age of 30?
I think not.
I mean, as I look at that video, I don't think there's a single person, not a millennial or younger, in that video.
The same thing is happening in some squish Democrat districts across the country.
You're seeing some, for instance, like Kansas' third congressional district.
There's a woman named Cherise Davids.
She's a newly elected Democrat there.
That's a huge swing district for Democrats, one they're probably going to lose or they're very scared of losing.
She won't tell whether or not she's going to vote for all these massive spending bills that the Democrats are proposing.
Now again, this is a Kansas 3rd Congressional District, so you're talking about a ruby red state other than this 3rd Congressional District, which is the population center in the eastern part of the state.
She's barely hanging on as a Democrat, and so she's one of these that's in real jeopardy in the midterms next year.
Just this week, these same lunatics who are storming the Department of the Interior chanting, no more oil, they start chasing after this woman, Congresswoman Davids, in the 3rd Congressional District of Kansas, demanding she commit to supporting these massive spending bills.
This Green New Deal crap and all that's tucked into it.
No more oil.
What's happening?
What's happening is the American public is living through massive inflation, and the Democrats are getting scared that time is slipping away, public approval of their job is slipping away, there isn't the political will to do it, and so they're sending out the winged monkeys of the Democrat Party to start heckling and harassing and doing these hey-hey-ho-ho sit-ins.
It's all fake.
It's all astroturf.
It's all paid for.
None of it's real.
It's not what the American people want.
I just want to stress to you that what we're seeing is not real.
When you see these sit-ins and you see these people chasing Democrats around like Kyrsten Sinema and the rest of them, these are activist wackos.
They know their time is fleeting.
They're hanging on like a loose tooth before they get their clocks cleaned in the midterms next year and they already know they don't have the political support and probably the will To get these bills passed.
Biden begging.
After campaigning to rein in oil and gas companies and curbing climate change, Biden is scrambling to find ways to lower energy prices.
I got an idea.
How about opening up supply, Grandpa?
Biden has already been forced to ask global oil producers to increase output to boost global supply in hopes of lowering costs.
Isn't that amazing how that works when you boost supply?
Costs drop, which means he understands basic economics, which means he also understands when you print more money, it becomes less valuable.
Inflation, inflation, inflation.
It takes more money to chase after fewer and fewer goods.
Grandpa knows this, but he's not running anything.
We know this is purposeful destruction.
Obama is back.
This is big-time Obama.
This all smacks of Grandpa's former boss, who's very much back.
There can be no doubt.
And his chief of staff saying, ah, this is just hitting rich people.
Retweeting that.
It's just hitting rich people, inflation.
As though only rich people buy gas or go to the grocery store.
I'll bet you, if I open the phone lines here at America First today, and I am, I will, 833-33-GORKA is the number.
In fact, I'd love to hear from you today, you rich people.
833-33-GORKA.
Are your grocery store shelves, are you starting to see them emptying?
Have you noticed the price of certain goods lately jumping?
Is there something that's really jumped out at you as unbelievably expensive?
Are the things you've stopped buying because they're too expensive?
Is your behavior changing because of prices out there?
That's not good!
And then when the White House press secretary is confronted and says, can you guarantee people are going to get their goods, their Christmas gifts by Christmas?
Her answer is, we're not FedEx, we're not UPS, we don't guarantee Christmas gifts.
Huge disconnect here, of course, ladies and gentlemen.
You understand that.
Let's go to the phones.
833-33-GORKA.
My name's Chris Stegall from Philadelphia's AM99 to the answer.
In for Dr. Sebastian Gorka today.
How about Roger in San Antonio?
Roger, let's start with you.
Glad to have you here.
Hi.
Hey, how you doing?
Thanks for taking my call.
You bet.
Now, I just wanted to weigh in on people that called before me, and if I have friends that have gotten COVID, so no vaccine, have gotten COVID, and, you know, only had it for three days.
I got it, I had it for 10 days.
So everyone's different.
You know, like you're saying, we're all individuals.
I think it's funny.
These callers that call in that have never got COVID before they've gotten vaccinated, so they don't really have an opinion.
It's funny when they go, Oh, well, I got the vaccine, so it, you know, it weakened, you know, my effect.
Well, how do you know that if you didn't get it before without the vaccine to compare it to getting COVID now when you've gotten the vaccine?
So that last caller, it's like you don't know that it Weakened your symptoms, you know what I mean?
So...
Well, look, my dad is pushing 70.
My dad's not quite yet 70.
My dad got the shot.
He's had the double shot of Moderna, right?
I, for instance, didn't.
Now, my dad's not, you know, knock wood, and I hope this is the case, my almost 70-year-old dad didn't have any reaction to the shot, hasn't gotten sick with COVID, thank goodness.
I wouldn't wish what I just went through a couple of weeks ago on my dad or anybody of a certain age, because it's terrible.
So, I don't know.
Will my dad, what I'll be fascinated to watch is, you know, should my near 70 year old dad get a booster shot?
Should he get it again annually?
Is that good enough?
Like, I don't, I don't know.
We have no idea.
I mean, double vaccinated people are having break breakouts or breakthrough cases.
Unvaccinated people never get sick in some cases.
It's, There's so much we don't know, and I just wish everyone wasn't so damned arrogant and certain.
Oh, I know.
This is exactly the way it's going to work.
No, you don't know.
I would never have presumed one way or the other to say that the vaccine was 100% going to protect me or not.
I opted to not get it.
I got pretty sick.
Do I regret it?
Do I know for a fact that the vaccine would have kept me from getting as sick as I did a couple of weeks ago?
I don't know that.
I can't know that because we know of breakthrough cases.
Just a little humility, folks.
That's what I'm taught as a Christian, as a believer in Jesus Christ.
Just a little humility.
A little more leaning on Him.
Mic's back on?
I'll be right back, guys.
Excuse me.
No worries.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Mics are back on.
So yeah, I sent you the latest call screen.
It's full.
Line 5 doesn't want to go on the air.
She was just curious.
Oh, monoclonal antibody treatment?
Yeah.
You want to take her in the break real quick?
Just tell her?
Sure.
All right.
There you go.
Minute and a half.
She's on the line.
Hi, Irene.
It's Chris.
How are you?
Hi.
I love you, Chris.
And I wondered where you had gone after 1210.
And then I finally found you.
Keep up the good work.
You're wonderful.
I'm on 990 AM in Philadelphia now, Irene.
I know, yeah.
Great, great.
I have it on all day long.
Oh, well, good.
So you've heard me there in the morning, I hope.
Oh, heavens, yes, yes, yes.
But I didn't want to get on the air, I said, because I just wanted the name of the, what was it, the antiviral antibody.
It's called monoclonal, monoclonal, M-O-N-O, like one, monoclonal.
C-L-O-N-O.
How do you spell that?
Monoclonal antibodies.
Monoclonal antibodies.
Antibodies, okay.
I had the antibodies and I couldn't think of the other.
I'm 94 and I couldn't remember the microcoma.
Thank you so much and as I said, we love you and keep up the good work and we have to get these idiotic, blithering idiots Thank you, sweetheart.
Look those up, please.
Have somebody look that up for you.
Find where you can get those.
There's probably a hospital or a clinic near you, okay?
If you ever should need them.
I hope you don't.
Okay, well, thank you again.
Alright, 30 seconds.
Okay, standing by.
All right.
All right.
You're listening to Dr. Sebastian Gorka, a man who's taken down Eastern European governments with just the sound of his voice.
My name's Chris Stigall.
I have not taken anyone down with the sound of my voice.
I don't know, maybe rodents, small mammals have run, but that's about it.
I wish I had the timber Dr. Gorka did, but I do not.
Glad to have you here, nonetheless.
I fill in from time to time, or Dr. Gorka's good enough to invite me here from time to time anyway.
I do a morning show in Philadelphia on his Philadelphia affiliate, Philadelphia's AM 990 The Answer.
And I was thrilled when he called me and he said, hey, you want to fill in on Friday because I'm out?
I said, sure, I'll come to the party.
So, welcome to America First.
My name's Chris.
You won in the pool.
833-33-GORKA.
My pal Steve Moore.
Former economist of the Trump White House, now with FreedomWorks, we're going to talk about some of the financials and inflation that you are living, and I've been asking you about today.
Chuck Schumer goes out yesterday and says, no family should have to choose between heating their home or putting food on the table.
No family should have to choose between heating their home or putting food on the table.
So he and they, the Democrats, Joe Biden, are printing and spending money, causing massive inflation.
They're crushing, actively crushing, cheap, plentiful domestic energy production and making energy costs explode.
They're paying people not to work.
And then in order to pass more huge spending bills which will only exacerbate inflation, and smart Americans know it, they dare say it's cruel not to pass more spending.
I pray Americans see it.
I know the America First audience sees it.
But I don't know.
I don't know if Americans that don't pay as much attention as you do, when they're paying more at the gas pump, when their store shelves are empty, and what is there is more expensive.
I don't know if they connect the dots when they see Chuck Schumer say, no family should have to choose between heating their home or putting food on the table.
That he did it.
He caused it.
It's their fault.
It didn't have to be this way.
And in fact, it wasn't this way just a year ago.
Do you think average Americans, not you and me, not this audience who's paying attention, do you think your friends and neighbors who pay limited attention to this stuff get it?
I know they're living it.
What do you say, Tori, in Minneapolis?
Welcome to America First.
I'm Chris, in for Seb today.
Hi.
Hi, how are you?
Very well, thank you.
I'm sad because I'm a bus driver and I make, school bus driver, and I make $19.41 an hour.
And gas is up over a dollar and a half more a gallon, and my eggs went up last week 47 cents a dozen, and I just almost don't know where to cut.
And we keep our heat at 66 in the winter, which is pretty chilly for Minneapolis, and now we're looking at going down to about 62.
I don't know how to cut any further, you know, it's just because our salaries really aren't going up.
Now honestly, and I'm asking this- And they say they're going up, but mine's not.
And I'm asking this sincerely, when guys like Chuck Schumer say we shouldn't be in a position where you have to choose whether you're going to feed your family or heat your home, what do you say to Chuck Schumer?
Guess what, Chuck?
You're not in that position.
We are.
What causes that?
I know you know and we just went through it.
Do you internalize it?
I think you do.
What causes it?
What's causing this mess?
They are elitists who have no idea what we go through, period.
They are so out of touch with us, it's absolutely mind-boggling.
Here's a tough question, and I think you sound like a very nice person, so I bet this is going to be hard for you to answer, or maybe it won't.
Do you think it possible that there's a political class in this country that's doing this to you on purpose?
They know what they're doing and they're doing it on purpose.
Is that hard to say yes to, if in fact you want to?
They do it on purpose, absolutely, and their party starts with a D. And it's really D for disgusting.
Tori, I wish you well.
I know you're not alone.
I really appreciate you sharing your story.
833-33-GORKA is the number.
833-33-GORKA.
Brent has been waiting patiently in Los Angeles.
Hey, Brent.
Glad you called.
Sebastian Gorka's America First.
I'm Chris.
Hi.
Hi.
It's an honor talking with you, Chris.
And you're the very same.
Thanks, and I'm a regular caller to the Great Gorka, and just wanted to give you a quick guest host tutorial on how to be invited back on America First.
In Sebastian's Special Forces, you must never be timid, always be on attack, and we are fighting a war for America's soul and survival.
When in doubt, always use larger caliber, higher velocity ammo.
You can use the Great Gorka's .50 Cal Mod Deuce or RPG beneath the desk.
Be warned, if you fall too low in testosterone, Judy from Brooklyn or Ray from Livermore will be calling in to read you the Riot Act, and good luck, soldier, and carry on.
Are you saying, Brent, I'm curious, you feel my testosterone is low?
You think I'm suffering from low T?
Well, you were hesitant in saying that you weren't vaxxed, and that's a good thing, and nobody should be.
We have so many wonderful therapeutics that are cheap and successful and not dangerous, and we are being poisoned by what I call the genocide jab.
Here's the thing.
I'm not hesitant, I just don't presume to tell anybody else what to do.
You know what I mean?
Well, we don't have to tell them what to do, but we can just say statistically and looking at what's actually happening and how many complications are setting in with a vaccine like never before in our history, that you might want to be really careful and recognize there are other treatments that actually work and they're cheap.
All right, Brent.
I appreciate the counsel.
Thank you, my friend.
I'll work on the low-T issue.
Although, you know, after having come through COVID, I feel robust.
I have those monoclonal antibodies coursing through my veins.
I feel particularly stout.
I won't get into it.
You can ask my wife.
Mike's in Springfield.
Hi, Mike.
Glad you called America First.
Hey Chris, I feel like a groupie.
I'm following you all over the country.
All the time.
Great show.
Hey Chris, this debacle of a presidency is so bad, it's going to bring everybody together at some point.
I mean, it's got to.
It's like 9-11.
You think Joe Biden is such a disaster, when he says he's going to be a unifying figure, he's going to be a unifying figure because he's such a disaster, people will agree.
Exactly.
I was thinking the same thing.
That's a bold statement.
The country will wake to see that Biden is so bad, we will unify in tossing him, or at least disabling him in 2022.
Exactly.
Okay.
I like that.
Listen, Mike, that's a great optimistic silver lining you just painted here.
We'll see what Steve Moore has to say about it coming up.
Thanks for the call, by the way.
Great to talk to you.
Thanks for listening there at Philadelphia's AM99 to the Answer, the Sebastian Gorka affiliate there in southeastern Pennsylvania.
I am Chris Stegall, by the way, and if you want to join me in conversation beyond today's show, you can go to chrisstegall.com.
That's S-T-I-G-A-L-L.
ChrisStegall.com where I have a daily podcast that I hope you'll check out in addition to the radio show.
Follow me on Twitter, on Instagram, on Facebook.
I have conversations every single week with the guy that we're bringing to the show here in the next segment, Steve Moore, who's the chief economist of Our Morning Show in Philadelphia, and I love to have him on.
We've got to go through some of these numbers because it's devastating.
Biden is going to beg the energy industry Beg them to pump out more.
Now, Putin has already promised $100 a barrel oil.
He's out there promising it this week, laughing all the way to the bank.
Yeah, you shut down the Keystone XL pipeline, smart guy, and now look who you need.
It's pretty disgusting.
We're going to get into it with Steve next on America First.
Mike Saran on Rumble.
Okay, so I'll try calling that number again.
About two-ish minutes out, give or take.
Oh, sorry, I didn't have you I didn't have you on.
I had the wrong pod on.
There we go, my sorry.
I don't usually run the board, so.
FDA panel recommends J&J Booster two months after first shot.
Two!
You know I'm putting, listen to Sheryl, you wonder if we're getting close to the kind of the herd immunity that it's not just that they can take credit for but it's the last ditch effort now to get everybody get vaccinated.
You know what I mean?
For the money making.
Like running out of time.
Yeah.
Like that one caller suggested that they just really want to get this shoved through so Biden can claim credit for some kind of victory with everything else crashing around him.
I, uh, I mean, I got really sick, really sick.
Like, and I thought, I laid around thinking to myself, did I make a mistake not getting the shot?
But now that I've done this and gone through it, I mean, I, I, honest to goodness, now I'm less inclined than I was before I got sick to go get it, which I know sounds counterintuitive perhaps, but I. Well, I'll tell you one thing, the Delta variant really made them some money because we were down to like 9,000 cases a day in July.
And a lot of people got vaccinated in August after that.
Yes.
I don't know.
Like, I was in Philly for, you know... Well, I moved to Missouri.
We just moved to Missouri.
We just relocated.
Last month.
Late... Well, I guess... Yeah.
September?
Where are we?
October?
Yeah, so... Just, like, less than a month ago.
And we no sooner got our boxes dropped off and got into our new house and we all got just laid out.
But we hadn't been sick.
Not a one of us got sick the entire time we were in Philadelphia, so... I don't know.
Delta variant?
Different region?
I have no idea.
I call Steve Eric.
Yep.
Thank you.
Do you, with all the different stations, do I mess up the numbers and call letters sometimes?
I do.
It's gotta be tough.
Yeah, it gets... I mean, even just now.
That's what I was thinking, just your third one.
Alright, just call him again.
Call him again, okay.
Yeah, I have to pause and think about where I am, because if I don't, I will immediately go into...
You know, give it the Philly number in Kansas City, give it the Kansas City number here, it's just... Do you go into Kansas City or do you do that from your house too?
I do it all from here now.
It went straight to voicemail again.
Alright, well just screen the calls then, there's like four.
Okay, well yeah, I'll do that when we start the segment.
Do it now, that way you can get some calls.
They keep dropping off like flies.
Hello America First, what's your name?
Alright, you got 30 seconds.
If Steve gets on, I'll just put it in your ear.
I'll tell you in your ear.
Alright.
No problem.
I'm sorry, you cut out.
Give me just one second.
Hang on.
Joseph, hang on.
Joseph, hang hang on.
News and talk radio is still really popular, even in the Internet age.
What you are about to hear them say is mind-boggling.
Here's looking at you, Snowflake.
America first.
Glad to be with you today.
My name's Chris Stegall, in for Seb.
I host the morning show on Dr. Gorka's affiliate in Philadelphia.
Philadelphia is aimed 99 to the answer.
Hope to spend some time with you one of these days again, but in the meantime, you can go to ChrisStigall.com, check out my podcast if you'd like, or listen to our morning show where we stream every day there in Philly if you're so inclined.
But it's really good to be with you here today on America First.
833-33-GORKA is our number.
833-33-GORKA if you want to weigh in.
The average price per gallon of gasoline is at the highest level in seven years.
Oil is also at its highest price.
With general inflation also high and dragging down Biden's approval ratings, rising energy prices are seen as a threat to the president's agenda.
I should think!
Hopefully the GOP advertising campaign is now kicking in.
Representative Mark Green tweeted today, $8.98 for a gallon of organic milk. $8.98?
Where's Representative Mark Green?
Where does he live?
In Tennessee's 7th District.
Wow!
Yeah, and he sent a picture of it.
Steve Moore is the Chief Economist of my morning show in Philadelphia, and it was a thrill that he could make time for us here on America First.
And Steve, first of all, thanks for making time on short notice.
I saw you on Fox today.
I know you've been busy.
Hi!
It has been a busy week.
Chris, great to be with you.
And it's been a busy week for me.
It's been a horrible week for President Biden.
It seems, doesn't it, Chris, like the wheels are coming off in just every regard, whether it's foreign policy, whether it's Afghanistan, whether it's the border, whether it's the inflation, whether it's the supply chain problems, whether it's the rising crime in America.
I mean, is there anything?
I ask my liberal friends, I mean, in all honesty, tell me one thing that Joe Biden has done right.
I'm struggling and it's amazing to me that even now CNN, this morning I was sharing with this audience earlier, CNN had a whole graphic this morning about how bad this was looking for Biden and Democrats.
Of course they were very concerned only with the politics of it, but even they had to acknowledge it.
Yeah, I mean, it was interesting.
They said, oh, you know, inflation's up, the border's out of control.
This is bad for Democrats.
It's bad for the country.
I mean, they see everything in politics.
But look, I think the problem is, we can talk about the economics of this in a minute, but I think the real problem is, Where are the adults in the White House?
I mean, it's like Children's Hour over there.
Steve, as an example, just let me give you an example.
I think I know exactly what you mean.
When the member of the media says to Jen Psaki, hey, can you promise that people will be able to get their Christmas gifts on time this year?
And she says, well, I'm not FedEx.
We're not UPS.
We don't promise deliveries for Christmas.
What kind of answer is that, Steve?
Well, especially when she says, you know, we can't meet the efficiency of the Postal Service.
That's pretty low bar.
And then the other thing that you've noticed this, Chris, I mean, I almost fell out of my chair.
They said it yesterday, the White House and the day before.
Pelosi said it.
The problem is the media is just not giving us a fair shake.
They're not reporting on all the wonderful things in our bills!
Really?
You're going to say that the media is too liberal?
I mean, come on!
I've also said today during the show, Steve, that what's critical to understand what's happening, you're going to start to see a lot of artificial astroturf bought and paid for protesters.
All screaming and yelling about the Green New Deal and how it needs to pass and harassing Democrats and how they need to pass these big spending bills because the American public's patience has worn thin.
There is no political support for it, so now they're going to start to create this bought-and-paid-for show on cable news that there's this big surge of support for spending.
Yeah, although, you know, that could be a double-edged sword.
I mean, one of the best things that happened, because I'm running a group, a A coalition of about 50 to 60 major conservative groups, whether it's pro-Second Amendment groups or pro-life groups, whether it's people who are libertarian, people who are concerned about the economy, supply centers, just about every group has something they hate about this $3.5 trillion spending bill.
And so we have all of these groups that are trying to, as Larry Kudlow, who's one of our spokesmen, says, save the country, kill this bill.
But where it's leading with this is that the... Remember when they chased Senator Sinema into the bathroom?
I mean, that helps our cause.
What are they trying to do?
Chase her right into our arms?
I mean, these guys are so crazy that they're even attacking Democrats who have very, very solid common sense objections to this bill.
Hang on just a second, would you?
Can I hold you through the break?
Because I want to come back and ask you some more specifics about this economy.
Steve Moore with FreedomWorks.
I'm Chris Stigall in Perseb today on America First.
Hang tight.
Mike's are back on on Rumble.
I've never been on Rumble This is my maiden vo- Well, I guess as host of a show, I'm filling in.
I'm a guest on Rumble.
Hello, Rumble.
It's a good platform.
Alright, do you want to talk to Steve at all?
No, that's okay.
All right. All right.
All right.
All right. All right.
All right. All right. All right. All right. All right. All right. All right. All right. All right. All right. All right. All right. All right. All right. All right. All right. All right. All right.

All right. All right. All right. All right. All right.
Thank you.
Hey, Chris.
Yes sir?
We gotta do one more of those 15 second embeds for car.
So you wanna do it either here or the next segment?
I can do it here.
All right, perfect.
I've started having Mark Farzetta on.
Oh, I remember him, yeah.
Periodically.
Yeah, he went over to my old station afterwards.
Yeah, and they just sacked him last year.
Now he's doing a great podcast and everything.
I really always liked Mark, so I asked him if he wanted to come on and start talking sports.
Tony Bruno I've run out again, too.
Bruno got screwed.
He was on that Sirius show.
It was pretty good.
Him and Harry Mays.
I love Tony.
Yeah.
He was good.
He's just... Eccentric.
Marches to his own drum.
Yep.
But he did it for a while.
I mean, he was big for a long time.
Alright.
Ten seconds.
seconds.
Hang on.
The only man standing between the radical left and your cheeseburgers.
It's Dr. Sebastian Gorka.
Oh now, I stand shoulder to shoulder in solidarity with that cause.
My name is Chris Stegall, in for Dr. G today.
I am the morning host on Philadelphia's AM 990, The Answer, Seb's Philadelphia affiliate, and I'm thrilled to be with you on this Friday.
Complacency is a weakness patriots can't afford.
I know Seb feels that way.
I know CAR Firearms feels that way, which is why America First and CAR Firearms are teaming up Because Carr believes Americans shouldn't be afraid to publicly appeal for our freedoms.
And this is about way more than just being gun enthusiasts.
This has become a very personal war fighting for the soul of America.
Carr Firearms wants America First listeners to know they're not afraid to publicly support Second Amendment Friday.
And we're certainly glad to have them.
Thanks to Carr Firearms.
All right, back to Steve Moore, our chief economist from FreedomWorks.
He was in the Trump White House when the economy was roaring, by the way.
You know, this isn't that hard.
I mean, it really, it's stunning that it's just a year ago, a year ago, we weren't talking about bottlenecked supply chains.
Now, look, I want to be fair.
Let's just be fair for a second.
Let's try to be fair.
If Donald Trump had been reelected, Would we see the supply chain bottlenecks, given what we know we did?
I mean, we did shut down the economy for a time under Donald Trump.
Now, it wasn't at his guidance.
It wasn't at his insistence.
A lot of states did it anyway.
But is it fair or unfair to say these bottlenecks, holdups in supplies and goods and the cost of things, would this have happened if it was still President Donald Trump, Steve Moore?
Give me your honest assessment.
So, look, I think there would be some bottlenecks.
Yeah, because there were so many business shutdowns and all of a sudden everything reopened.
So some of this is a result of just, you know, that jolting of reopening.
But the problem is everything that Biden has done has made things worse.
Let me give you an example.
There's a big problem with all of the there's now 11 million unfilled jobs, 11 million.
11 million.
That's an all-time record.
Now, normally, you know, having unfilled jobs is a good thing.
That means it's a great labor market for workers, which it is.
The problem is, in the last jobs report, we got 200,000 people dropping out of the workforce.
It's the weirdest thing.
Now, why are they doing that?
Well, you know my explanation, Chris.
I talk about this on your Philadelphia show.
I think we're just paying people too much money to stay unemployed.
You know, we're expanding food stamps, we're expanding unemployment benefits, we're expanding payments to people.
And by the way, we have a new study coming out that shows if they were to pass this $3.5 trillion spending bill, that we would lose another 7 million workers.
Because there's so many payments, everything's going to be free!
So why work?
Matt Schlapp has such a funny tweet out there today, our friend that runs the American Conservative Union.
He said, President Biden's reward for saving you 16 cents at your 4th of July barbecue.
Empty shelves, supply chain crisis, record high gas prices, runaway inflation, choosing between heating your home and putting food on your table.
I'd forgotten Biden claimed he saved us all 16 cents at our 4th of July picnic this year.
I'd forgotten that.
Yeah, I'd forgotten about that, too.
Look, the other big problem is there's an energy crisis.
And I mentioned this again on your show on Wednesday, but I want to repeat this.
I mean, this is serious, folks.
I mean, we have across the world an energy crisis that is getting worse all around the world.
I mean, my gosh, Europe is now paying $8, $9, $10 a gallon for gasoline.
I think we're going to be paying $5 or $6 a gallon around the country here in a matter of weeks.
Why is that happening?
Well, one big reason, and guess which country is producing less oil and gas and coal?
We are!
Because of this crazy green energy stuff that is having an extreme negative impact on families.
By the way, when the price of oil and gas and energy goes up, the price of everything goes up.
Everything we have is derivative of energy.
I'm so frustrated with all this green climate change stuff.
When we've got real problems that are affecting real families right now, we should be producing way more oil and gas as Trump did, not producing less of it.
How about this headline from the Washington Times today?
After beating up on oil and gas industry, Biden now seeks its help.
President Joe Biden scrambling to find ways to lower energy prices and counting on help from the industry.
Boy, if I'm in the energy industry and this guy comes to me and says, help us produce more product, please, what are you thinking?
Well, look, I think the only problem with that headline is before he went to the American oil and gas companies, he went to the Saudis.
He said, Saudi Arabia, please increase your oil output.
Think about that.
How embarrassing is that?
You know, they have to go hand in hand with the Saudis and ask them to increase their oil output because he's reduced it and he won't allow the drilling to go on here in America when we have more of this stuff than anybody.
I mean, look, the one thing I loved about Trump, he was all in on American energy.
He made America, I used to tell him when I would visit him in the Oval Office, I'd say, Mr. President, You know, we can make America energy independent.
He used to scold me.
He'd wave his finger and say, Steve, I don't want energy independence.
I want America to be energy dominant.
And we were becoming energy dominant.
Steve, Steve, I remember having conversations with you.
When we were pumping so much oil, there were container ships that couldn't find ports.
We couldn't find places to put it.
We had so much oil.
Exactly.
And he basically said, we're going to produce and produce and produce.
And we broke the back of OPEC.
Now we have to go.
You know, it's just so, it's not good for the security of this country that we have to, you know, as the Saudis and the Kuwaitis and the Russians.
There was an article in the Financial Times.
This is pretty scary.
It said, Because now Europe is getting all of their energy from Russia.
And they said, in the headlines of the Financial Times piece was, Russia now, quote, holds Europe hostage to energy.
I mean, this is the country that was the Soviet Union.
It wasn't so long ago we won the Cold War.
Now the Germans are dependent on Russia for their oil?
You have served in presidential administrations, or at least advised presidential administrations, so try this headline on precise.
The political peril that Biden didn't see coming.
The current inflation spike now appears to be on track to persist deep into 2022.
It's this big piece about how poor Joe just didn't see it.
It's a real economic challenge.
Didn't see it coming, Steve?
Seriously?
It wasn't that they didn't see it coming.
I think it was that they were in denial.
Because how many times have I been saying on your show for the last six months, hey, we've got an inflation problem, we've got inflation.
And the Fed, by the way, it's not just the Biden administration, it's these people at the Federal Reserve Board.
That's why they didn't want me at the Federal Reserve, because I would be raising holy hell if I were over there right now.
I mean, they've been so behind the curve.
Jerome Powell has just screwed this up.
And there's, you know, look, the people have gotten really hammered.
Oh, the people, the lowest income people.
I said that before, but I want to say it again.
I gotta bail on that, Steve.
I'll leave it there.
Have a great weekend.
And that's Steve Moore, FreedomWorks, former Trump economist, my chief economist in Philadelphia every week.
And it is the last segment.
Thank you.
I've got a few calls if you want to take them.
Yeah, that'd be great.
You're epic.
I've sent you the screenshot.
Did you screen the five or what?
That's something different.
It's involving a merch question.
I'm texting Randy about it.
What's his question?
Um.
Thank you.
Mic's on and about one minute out.
So George, is it Bayam?
B-A-Y-A-M?
What is that, Eric?
Line two.
Hang on, what?
What's the name?
How do you say it?
Byam.
Byam, okay.
And Linda's still there, okay.
Yeah.
My voice is about to go entirely.
Yikes.
Well, we're in the last segment.
A little more talking than I thought.
And a podcast too, or did you just pull that from... Yeah.
Alright, hang on.
15 seconds.
Can't handle the truth?
Is reality just too much?
There's always NPR.
I hear they have tote bags.
This is America First with Sebastian Gorka.
Yeah, they do.
And they talk in whispers.
The whispering lets you know that they're smart.
Welcome in.
Telephone number is 833-33-GORKA.
My name's Chris Stegall.
Dr. Gorka, thank you so much.
I appreciate our friend Seb for allowing me to sit in the chair today.
This was a lot of fun.
It was great to spend time with you today.
My name's Chris Stegall.
I host the morning show at Philadelphia's AM 990, The Answer, Seb's Philadelphia radio affiliate.
We're a proud home of the Sebastian Gorka Radio Show and all the fine Salem Media Group programming throughout the course of the day.
So thanks a lot for spending some time with me today.
Let's go to the phones.
In Ventura, California, it's George waiting patiently.
George, I'm sure glad you called America First.
I'm Chris, and for Seb today, hi.
Hey, Chris, thanks for your guest.
I enjoyed that.
Also, kudos for the information that you've given us today.
I think that you're right about Barack Obama, that he's running a lot of the show here, that there's a secret kitchen cabinet, and They've created a bungleocracy.
They're bungling the whole works and ruining the whole country.
You know, AOC, the Jihad Squad, Barack and Bernie, they're ruining everything.
And some of it is by design, but I'm afraid they're going to overshoot and really get us in deep.
You're in California.
It doesn't get more obnoxious than California, does it?
No, California is a mess.
When I was young, it was a beautiful state to live in, and we had a Democrat party that wasn't too bad, and we could cope with it.
But not anymore.
They're an undemocratic party now.
So glad you called, George.
Thanks for listening to America First.
It was great to talk to you.
Let's go to Bayem in Los Angeles.
Staying there in the Golden State.
Hey, Bayem, thanks for calling.
Hi.
Hi, Chris.
Yes.
Thank you so much for hosting.
You're doing an amazing job.
I was calling just to share regarding these gas prices.
About Biden, you know, we were almost independent with gas, became independent with President Trump.
And now in Los Angeles, I have seen gas for $6 a gallon.
We are doing fire safety, fire prevention.
Many people like us, we have to be on the road 10 hours a day, driving all over town.
And the gas prices, they really take a toll on people like us, plumbers, other technicians that they actually have to be in the field.
And, you know, we're working, trying to work with coalitions to actually make a change.
What Steve was talking about as well, because this is just unbelievable.
Do you think it translates?
Do you think people... You understand it, obviously.
Do your colleagues understand it?
I mean, people that may vote for Democrats, do they connect the dots by them, do you think?
To be honest with you, you know, we deal with... Well, I'm in Los Angeles, so we deal with a lot of people.
As you know, this is a very liberal city.
And I talk with many of my customers.
I talk with probably hundreds of people every week.
Not a single person is happy with this guy.
Not a single person likes him or likes what he's doing in Los Angeles.
I gotta let it stay there by him, but I'm grateful that you called.
And that's good news.
I'm going to take your anecdote as good evidence.
And I am so thrilled to have spent some time with you.
I hope you have a great weekend.
Dr. G's back on Monday.
My name's Chris Stegall.

That's S-T-I-G-A-L-L.
