Time Text
President Biden don't know my son whatsoever.
And he's not a white supremacist.
He's not a racist.
And he did that for the votes.
And I was so angry for a while at him.
And what he did to my son, he defamed him.
Wendy Rittenhouse, the mother of Kyle, on Fox News, telling the truth.
A distraught woman who is so right.
They're defaming her son, 17 years old at the time, who was labeled a white supremacist by Joe Biden as he tried to defend his life from a serial child rapist and a wife abuser.
I'm Sebastian Gawker.
This is American First on the Salem Radio Network.
Coming to you live from just outside the insalubrious fetid swamp that is Washington, D.C.
Let's unleash the phones.
It's Friday.
Is it Friday?
How did we get here so quickly?
It's Ask Dr. G Anything Friday.
It's Second Amendment Friday.
Taking your calls.
But first...
Let me talk about this case, and let me talk about its strategic importance in the political culture of the United States.
Early today, on all my social media platforms, where I am still allowed to operate, I wrote the following, and it seems to have resonated with thousands and thousands of you across the nation.
It's a very simple statement.
Two sentences.
The Democrats are on the side of the serial child rapist.
Now do you understand who America's real enemies are?
It's amazing in this trial how they're trying to skirt the facts about who was assaulting that 17-year-old boy who traveled to a city in flames To help people to scrub heinous graffiti off public buildings and provide medical support if necessary.
And to do the job, really, that local police forces were forbidden from executing by their political masters.
In that night of rioting that is clearly visible in the drone footage that the prosecution is trying to pervert and twist into some weird parody of reality to say that the 17-year-old boy who was a community lifeguard cleaning graffiti off the walls of public buildings went there to kill...
By the way, as far as I'm concerned, death for serial child rapists is fine with me.
Yes, I am app... Call me whatever you want!
Media matters?
Are you typing?
A little Zacky Poo with a squeaky voice?
Killing child rapists is why every state should have capital punishment.
But to call this Cisgender?
Is that the phrase the left uses?
This white heterosexual male?
The problem?
The attacker?
A white supremacist?
Who did he shoot?
He shot one man who's still alive who had his bicep shredded at about 10 inches range when a bullet from his AR-15 penetrated his arm going two, three thousand feet per second.
Was in that arm, in the hand of that arm, holding a loaded Glock pistol to the head of Kyle Rittenhouse.
And said in front of the court cameras, yes, I was proceeding towards him with my gun held towards him.
That individual tried to kill Kyle Rittenhouse.
Boasted afterwards!
We have the records!
He boasted in hospital as his arm was dangling and his friends, his radical friends, were propping him up.
I wish I had killed that kid.
Yeah, that's what he said.
I wish I had killed that kid.
Why isn't he being charged for attempted murder?
It's not too late.
The other two individuals are what?
Convicted felons.
The lesser one.
Multiple, multiple convictions.
Involving violence.
Involving drugs.
Involving violence against women.
A wife beater, if you will.
An individual who shouldn't have been there.
An individual who's even prohibited from drinking alcohol as a condition of his probation.
Who thought that Kyle Rittenhouse should die.
And thought that he should be brained with a skateboard.
One of the favorite weapons of Antifa and BLM.
When it's not Cyclox.
When it's not full tins of soup.
Or bottles of frozen ice, frozen water.
It's skateboards.
Because they've got a heft to them.
He's dead.
Good riddance.
But let's talk about the person that the mainstream media doesn't want to talk about.
The individual that the Washington Examiner says you should feel sorry for.
Yes, I read the article.
I will give the name of its author at this pseudo-conservative Fake entity, the Washington Examiner.
You should tell their editor what you think of their fake publication, their never-Trump garbage gutter press that says you should feel sorry for those shot by Kyle Rittenhouse.
Individuals such as the first person to attack Kyle, who is a serial child rapist.
Convicted on multiple counts, an individual charged with raping young boys between the ages of nine and eleven.
Nine and eleven.
A man who should have been given a dirt nap, or at very least been in a six by six cell for the rest of his life, never ever to see the light of day.
A man who was released because... I don't know.
Because... Reasons?
A man who... We have the footage from earlier of that day.
Used the N-word to taunt people like Kyle Rittenhouse and screamed in front of cameras, Shoot me now!
Yes, shoot me!
Well, you were shot.
You filth.
You child rapist.
You should have been executed the first time you were convicted for ever harming a child.
You should have been injected with a lethal cocktail of drugs to stop your respiration and your heart.
You should have been shot in the head by a high power bullet from an execution squad.
But you weren't.
Why?
Because of some plea bargain?
Because of some parole board run by Democrats?
All you need to know right now is that the Democrats The talking heads of the mainstream media and the quote-unquote journalists that are the fake conservative organs like the Washington Examiner are on the side of the serial child rapists.
That's why we are fighting for the soul of our nation.
I'm Sebastian Gorka.
This is America First.
This is America First.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Thank you.

So much to discuss.
The court cases, the elections.
Who better to discuss them with than somebody who's been fighting for election integrity and for civil rights.
A famous, famous individual.
You've seen her on Fox News and elsewhere.
She is RNC National Committee member for California, civil rights attorney, founder of the Center for American Justice.
Harmeet Dhillon, welcome to America First.
Thanks, happy to be here today.
Hamid, you are representing, you're one of the lawyers working with Project Veritas and the latest egregious actions against James O'Keefe.
Will you tell us in a nutshell what the federal authorities have done to this investigative journalist?
Sure, well last week on Thursday the FBI raided the homes of two former Project Veritas journalists who had been involved in investigating The Ashley Biden diary, or alleged Ashley Biden diary, that ultimately was not published by Project Veritas.
And then on Saturday, the FBI also raided, in a pre-dawn raid, the home of James O'Keefe, the founder of Project Veritas, you know, with a battering ram in hand, ready to use it, threw him out in the hallway in his underwear with handcuffs on and proceeded to go through his apartment and seize two telephones that include A huge volume of privilege and confidential legal communications between Project Veritas and its lawyers on multiple matters.
I'm one of those lawyers on those phones, as well as a lot of source information and contact information and communications with sources of Project Veritas within the United States government.
and corporations, as well as extensive donor communications and information.
So, multiple levels of privilege and confidential communication that the United States Department of Justice guidelines and that a federal privacy statute require be handled very sensitively when a journalist is involved.
We believe all of those regulations were breached and violated when the DOJ did this.
And so, we filed a motion, and that is the lead criminal defense attorney, Paul Calley, and a couple of other of the prominent lawyers, Barr and Klein, They filed a motion with the federal court to seek a special master to set aside that information and go through it before the DOJ looks at it.
The DOJ was not willing to voluntarily comply with that, but the federal judge did issue an order yesterday ordering the DOJ to stop what it was doing until the judge has fully considered the merits and further briefing on this.
So, a little victory for the good guys, but what's even more troubling is yesterday the New York Times, which had been tipped off by Somebody in the federal government about both of the raids I just discussed, they also published a number of privileged legal memos from Project Veritas' lawyers to the client.
And so, you know, this is pretty disturbing stuff.
And I would, you know, have a lot of questions about how the New York Times got its hands on.
So it's a material that is protected by client lawyer privilege.
That's right.
We don't know how they got it, so I'm just putting together the timing there for you, and I think it's for the New York Times and the Department of Justice to really answer for whether they have been violating the civil rights of our client.
We intend to get to the bottom of that.
And if Project Veritas and James O'Keefe weren't even the people who published the contents of this very, very disturbing diary from Joe Biden's daughter, then what on earth was James charged with, Hamid?
He hasn't been charged with anything, to be very clear.
The DOJ, a year after this non-publication of this diary that the Biden family has never acknowledged was real, which is one of the issues why our client didn't publish it, the grand jury sort of issues that are being explored are accessory after the fact, transporting stolen property across state lines, etc.
But there is very clear United States Supreme Court precedent That protects journalists, even when they publish material that is stolen, so long as they did not have any hand in stealing the information.
Well, it goes back to the Pentagon Papers, and we're talking about thousands and thousands of pages of classified information that was published and nobody went to jail.
The Washington Post has published information like this, the New York Times has, many major journalism outlets have.
There's no FBI, for example, breaking down the door of the New York Times.
That yesterday published confidential attorney-client communications on Project Veritas that were clearly obtained by somebody unlawfully.
So this is beyond merely saying, oh my God, what hypocrites they are.
This affects the civil rights of every American, because if the United States Department of Justice ignores its own guidelines, its own decrees from its own attorney general, then what are they going to do when they come to investigate you?
Absolutely.
Well, if I were James O'Keefe, I would feel much better to have somebody like you fighting for me.
So God bless you, Hami, for everything you are doing.
We'd like to talk to you regularly to get updates on that egregious, egregious act by the Feds.
In the last two minutes we have with you, you're also a fighter for election integrity.
in the United States.
I'd like you to react to what happened in the Commonwealth just a few days ago.
My biggest take-home that I say to our millions of listeners is, guys, to all of you who phoned in and said, that's it.
I'm never voting again.
They're going to steal every election from now on.
Harmeet, the bad guys didn't steal it in Virginia, did they?
No, they didn't, and you're absolutely right, and there are two big factors to me in what happened in Virginia.
Number one, an excellent candidate who pivoted into the cultural and important issues on the ground, and not all candidates can do that.
It was brilliant for him to seize on the tyranny of school boards and the absolutely disgusting and corrupt things that are happening in American schools today.
And number two, the RNC As well as a lot of Republican election lawyers in Virginia and throughout the United States.
They really hit the ground there.
The RNC invested heavily on the ground in election integrity efforts.
And the candidate did as well.
They had a disciplined program.
They had a lot of eyes and ears everywhere.
They covered 98% of the precincts in the state.
And as a result, it's harder to cheat when you're being watched carefully.
And I love that model and I've been saying it for years.
We need to be investing and doing that throughout the United States at every level and every election.
And if we do, we'd have much different results than what we had in 2020.
Because we shouldn't complain about election fraud.
Every American should do something about it, shouldn't they?
Absolutely.
And there are many things that Americans can do.
But number one, like you said, this whole sad sack attitude that it doesn't matter what I do, I shouldn't bother to vote.
It's all rigged.
That is a defeatist, loser mentality, and I don't want to hear it.
Neither do I. It is a sad sack attitude.
Fundamentally, it is un-American.
Support this lady.
Follow her work at libertycenter.org and on Twitter.
She's got a great Twitter game.
It's P-N-J-A-B-A-N.
She's Halmy Dillon, but her Twitter account is P-N-J-A-B-A-N.
God bless you, Halmy.
Give our very, very best.
To James and the whole team at Project Veritas, true investigative journalists doing more work than most of the fake news industrial complex combined.
Your call's next on 833-33-GORKA.
8333 Gorka.
That's

Portions of America First are brought to you in part by Stand With Israel Tour.
You know, people always wonder, they have questions about these figures they see every day on television.
Is he really that Zee now?
The answer is yes.
And if you were wondering, is she really that dumb?
We've got the evidence.
And I don't mean AOC, you know that's a fact.
You know that's a fact.
We're talking about the cackler.
Yes, if she were a super criminal from the Batman TV series with Adam West, you know that she'd be the cackler.
We mean Kamala.
This is Kamala doing her best impression of the senile old husk of a man who sadly bears the title President of the United States.
Just listen to how she tries to explain inflation and just how important it is.
Cut to.
So on the inflation piece, we, as I said earlier, fully appreciate the significance of things costing more.
It's a big deal.
It's a big deal.
And so we are doing what we can, making it probably one of our highest priorities.
I talk to the President about it often.
One of our highest priorities.
We need to bring costs down for the American people.
And in particular, For working people and working families.
And again, I'll go back to my previous point.
That is why we have been pushing so hard since the beginning for Build Back Better.
Because it is absolutely and almost uniquely designed to do just that.
When you're really stupid and don't know what you're supposed to say, you talk slowly, because you need to pad the time out and then state things that are tautologous, meaning obvious.
We know that inflation You know, when things get more expensive, is probably one of the most important things for us, and especially for poor people.
Jeff, Mr. G, is there any question that she's dumb as a box of rocks?
And you also missed how she was going from side to side, too.
Did you see how she kept swaying as well?
I saw that on the radio as I was listening.
I saw that through the speakers.
She's lost it all.
She has lost all of her confidence.
It's unbelievable.
How is she like the chief prosecutor for California?
She's really fallen apart.
I mean she was never this bad until about a year ago.
It's once the laughing started that was her nervous thing and she tries to avoid it and she's been horrible.
What do you think it is?
Do you think it's because she literally doesn't have a job?
No, it's that I think she really is concerned about her likability, and she realizes that people don't like them, and her poll numbers are shot.
Yeah, you mean her utter, utter absence of likability.
That, that's, can we just, Eric?
Evergreen file.
Okay, we're keeping that because that is all the proof you need.
She is dumb.
Really dumb.
She might be even worse.
How you doing, Sebastian?
Listen, I've got two quick questions.
One, I want to bring something to your attention.
There's a new TV series under the auspices of Tom Hanks called Masters of the Air, and it shows a huge B-17 replica at Abington in Oxfordshire.
It's about the B-17 in World War II.
I wanted to bring that.
I would have been very interested until you spoiled it for me by mentioning Tom Hanks.
He's not in it.
It's Spielberg and well anyway I tried.
They're so woke but I'll check it out.
What's the name of the show?
It's going to be called Masters of the Air and it's filming in Abingdon in Oxfordshire.
And I don't know when it's coming up, but you said you liked Band of Brothers, so... Yes, oh my gosh, out in the Pacific, totally.
Second question, though.
Okay, the second one is, CNN is showing illegal aliens pouring into Poland from the Middle East.
It shows a Polish border patrol lined up, but they won't show the same thing on our border, which is ridiculous.
Now, here's my question.
Now, you're a legal immigrant to the United States.
My ancestors fought in the Revolution two centuries years ago.
Here's my question.
Are you and I responsible for Venezuela and El Salvador's myth?
No.
Okay, that's what I wanted.
I get the feeling somehow I'm responsible for this because I'm down here near the border.
Hang on, Al.
I can't tell through the phone lines.
What color is your skin?
I'm an Anglo-Saxon.
Are you white?
About as white as you can get.
Oh, yeah.
Well, then, of course, you know you're guilty of everything.
I mean, it doesn't matter.
I mean, global warming, terrorism, domestic extremism.
I mean, your skin color is white, Al, so you must be.
Oh, of course.
Because that's how it works today.
Because, you know, that's what Martin Luther King taught the left as a Republican.
By the way, he was a Republican because that was his message and his legacy, right?
Right, Al?
Right.
Right.
Bingo.
Thank you, Al.

Where do we get our guests from?
I hear you clamoring, asking that question.
Where does Dr. G get his guests from?
Well, we have the news makers, we have the individuals who've proven themselves over the years to be truth tellers, to be investigative journalists, to be actual fighters for freedom on Capitol Hill, and then there's my wife.
And when my wife says, you got to get these ladies on your show!
Yes, ma'am.
That's what we do.
One of them that she has recommended for us is with us right now.
We are delighted to have her with us.
Priscilla Rahn, vice chair of the Colorado GOP, who is a warrior against critical race theory in the Denver public schools.
And you're actually a teacher at the same time.
Are you not, Priscilla?
Welcome to America First.
Thank you, Sebastian.
Welcome to my last show as a full-time teacher in Denver Public Schools and also the vice chair of the Colorado Republican Party and fighting the good fight for the future of our children.
Well, God bless you for everything you do.
My wife thinks you're an absolute dynamo.
We are concentrating, as we are here in the Commonwealth, on the amazing victory of the mama bears, some of the dads, a couple of the parents, in pushing back on the bigots, on the racists, on those who are hiding the rape of young girls in the public schools.
It's them that propelled Glenn Young into that amazing victory.
But, you know, you're in Colorado, so this CRT thing, this isn't just a Virginia problem, is it, Priscilla?
Absolutely not.
This is a problem that's taking place all over America.
And as a full-time teacher who is also a black educator, I can tell you firsthand that CRT and its theories have crept its way into our schools.
And I'm very concerned because when the left says they want to raise anti-racist children, the application of CRT in our schools are actually creating more segregation and more hatred towards people that look different from you.
And so I've been going around Colorado talking about CRT and This illusion of diversity, equity, inclusion that actually is not uniting students and educators, but actually resegregating us.
Let's deal with the left's reaction.
They said, oh, first they said there is no such thing as CRT, when you can actually read it being mentioned as something that should be taught on the web pages, on the documents of the Virginia Department of Education.
And then they say, well, no, no, we're not teaching the theory of CRT in schools.
Well, of course not, Priscilla, because it's not grad school colleges.
They're teaching the tenets of critical race theory, such that white people are oppressors and black people will be victims.
That's the reality, is it not?
It's not the theory, it's the actual message of CRT that is filtering through the public schools.
Absolutely.
I'm calling it CRT 2.0.
Some people call it critical race pedagogy.
But when school teachers are asked to read books by critical race theorists, like white fragility, and the language of segregation and racism actually finds its way into our schools, that's how you're seeing it implemented.
But you're right, when we're told that if you're born as a white person, You are racist.
You're an oppressor from cradle to grave.
There is no redemptive quality.
First of all, that's not true.
And second of all, when you teach black children that they are oppressed and victims, well, my father, who's a black man, never taught me that I was oppressed or unable to achieve the American dream.
And that is the danger.
Martin Luther King Jr.
gave us the platform to stand on when he said, I have a dream.
That little white boys and little white girls would hold hands with little black boys and little black girls as brothers and sisters.
Well, that's the antithesis of what CRT teaches.
In fact, you'll be hard-pressed to find someone who believes in CRT who will quote Martin Luther You can tell she's an educator.
She used the word antithesis on national radio.
Follow this lady Priscilla Rahn, R-A-H-N, today.
If you're in Colorado, find this lady.
Reach out to her.
We've got one minute left.
I want you to tell our millions of listeners what they should do.
I said You know, national politics is cool.
Running for the Senate, for governor, I get it.
But we take America back.
We stop the bigots by running for local school boards.
Am I crazy, Priscilla?
What's your advice?
Absolutely.
Politics is local.
It's all about we the people.
You don't have to have a lot of money or be so highly connected to run for office.
We need everyday moms and dads to run for school board.
We had a trucker in New Jersey who spent $150,000 All right, that was not enough.
That interview was far too short.
We have our one-on-one in-depth interviews for an hour in the third hour of the show.
Priscilla Rahn, vice chair of the Colorado GOP public school teacher, will you come back for a longer chat next week?
I can't wait.
In the meantime, follow her.
Priscilla Rahn.
R-A-H-N.
We need more Priscilla's, because that's how we take our Republic back.

On the side of the U.S. Constitutional.
Constitution, America first!
I swear it was Friday yesterday.
I mean, seriously.
I mean, wasn't Jim Carrafano in the studio, like, two days ago?
That was nuts.
And he's coming back.
So much to discuss.
Do you know that Russia is amassing troops 20 miles from the Polish border?
Yeah, I know we talk about domestic politics and our border issues, but you've got to pay attention to other parts of the world as well because, well, we have certain responsibilities.
I'm not an interventionist, but if the balloon goes up in Europe, you're not going to just sit here twitting our thumbs, although given Joe Biden, he probably won't notice.
Let's nevertheless go to your calls.
Jim Columbus, welcome aboard.
Hi, Sebastian.
Hey, this topic is really good that you brought up with the professor because the tenants of what's going on in Columbus is exactly what they're doing.
They're using the books to get through this messaging.
It's not just in the city limits.
It's in Columbus.
It's in the suburbs as well.
What's happening is, is the PTOs are aligning themselves with the DEI directors.
There's a particular case.
Tell everybody what DEI stands for.
Diversity, Equity and Inclusion.
Right.
And so and then they go with the critical race theory tenants.
But so there's a couple of bookstores here in the suburbs that sell these books.
The PTOs raise money, then they get them over to the libraries.
They put them in their stacks and then the teachers go ahead and they bring it into their classrooms.
A lot of teachers don't bring it in.
Some do that want it.
And then when parents complain, the administration at the school say, well, we didn't, that's not part of our curriculum.
It's a very nefarious way of getting around the system.
And if you want to stop some of this crap, get to the PTOs, find out where that money's being spent.
And just start paying attention.
Also in Columbus, Chris, line three.
Great to talk to you.
Welcome.
How you doing?
Good.
You got a minute.
As far as my story goes, my wife works at a dollar store downtown, and when the rioters were here for BLM, they smashed the windows out, ran inside, ransacked the store, destroyed everything.
In the name of social justice, right, Chris?
Right, exactly.
Called her a white devil, threw rocks at her, all sorts of crazy things.
Well, today, it so happens that my son, who attends Dana Collegiate Academy, Uh, was approached by his teacher asking him if he would like to learn about her Black Lives Matter pendant, which he replied to, no, I'm sorry.
I would rather not think, you know, given the history.
And what was her response?
She sent him to the office and he was punished.
So now they're going to have to deal with me.
Good.
I hope it goes well.
Stay on the line, Chris.

This is America Thank
you.
Thank you.
Your last name?
Okay, mic's back on.
Cut seven.
Want to know why critical race theory exists?
The actual law school theory that emphasizes that supposedly colorblind laws in America often still have racially discriminatory outcomes?
Then look no further than the trial of Kyle Rittenhouse.
Earlier today, the teenager accused of murdering two men and wounding a third in Kenosha, Wisconsin last year, took to the stand in his own defense.
And the circumstances are almost built for an actual CRT course.
The white, now 18-year-old, faces an almost entirely white jury of his peers, with the exception of one black man.
Okay.
So it's C-H-R-I-S.
Alright, I'm gonna use that.
I'm gonna use the J.D.
Vance from yesterday.
Can you play Cut 3 from yesterday?
Uh, hang on, let me get that.
B-R-A-Y.
So W-R-A-Y.
Yeah.
B-M-A-Y-1-9-8-5-G-M-I-L-T-I-C-O-M.
Okay.
Alright, we'll get that out to you in a couple weeks.
Thanks.
Yeah.
I think that it's not a trial.
It is child abuse masquerading as justice in this country.
This entire trial, this entire farce, is an indictment on every institution in our society.
It's an indictment of the adults that didn't protect Kenosha, which made Kyle Rittenhouse get out there and protect his community.
It's an indictment of... Can you ask John to post these videos, Jeff?
Yeah.
Yesterday's J.D.
Vance cut three.
We did that yesterday.
We did?
Then today's cuts.
Number two, Kamala.
Number four, Wendy Rittenhouse.
And eight, the professor.
Where's he from?
Old Dominion.
Old Dominion.
For Kamala.
Proof Kamala Harris is as dumb as AOC.
Uh, Rittenhouse.
Kyle Rittenhouse's mother is right.
Colon.
The trial is all about politics.
All about Biden and politics.
Neat titles, by the way.
And the Old Dominion, no longer a conspiracy theory.
He is a professor.
Oh, put it, tag them, at Old Dominion.
He's an at Old Dominion professor.
And put redefining in quotes, redefining pedophilia to make it okay.
Um, for Pris, for Harmeet, um, why, why did the FBI raid, um, James O'Keefe's home?
It was his home, right?
It was his home.
Yes.
I'm not sure if it was his home.
They said he pulled him out in his underwear, right?
You could just say raid James O'Keefe.
Yeah, just raid James O'Keefe.
That's okay.
Okay.
20 seconds.
Yeah.
All right.
Stand by.
Barry, we are doing, uh, car 15 here.
Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay.
Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay.
This is America First and here's your host Dr. Sebastian Gorka.
It's Friday.
Second Amendment Friday!
We celebrate the most important amendment that makes all the other civil rights possible.
Car Firearms is fighting for America.
Car executives stand with America First and are willing to put their brand's reputation on the line to stand up for your liberty.

I've got one of their semi-automatic Thompsons.
Check out their amazing line at K-A-H-R dot com.
That's K-A-H-R dot com.
We've got to continue talking about it because it is so crucial.
It is a defining moment in the nation, truly describing just how radical the left has become.
Let's talk about the Kyle, the ongoing Kyle Rittenhouse case.
Both sides have rested at the moment.
I think there will be a summation, perhaps at the weekend.
Who knows?
Maybe on Monday.
But the man who explained for me through his work Hillbilly Elegy really why Donald Trump became President of the United States, J.D. Vance, his take nails it.
Play cuts.
I think that it's not a trial.
It is It is child abuse masquerading as justice in this country.
This entire trial, this entire farce, is an indictment on every institution in our society.
It's an indictment of the Dalts that didn't protect Kenosha, which made Kyle Rittenhouse get out there and protect his community.
It's an indictment of our disgusting president who called him a white supremacist even though he shot other white people.
It's an indictment of our media At first blush it sounds like, hang on a second, all of our institutions, but then he walks you through it and he's right.
Whether it's the politicians who are supposed to run and fund the police departments that are supposed to keep you and me safe and didn't in Kenosha, in Portland, in Detroit, in Baltimore, or whether It is the media, whether it is the White House, that called this 17-year-old boy a white supremacist.
A young man who was grilled yesterday about what?
What was he grilled about?
The thing that millions, tens of millions of fellow Americans his age do, which is play video games.
Yes, this is what they grilled him on yesterday.
Cut 10.
Isn't it true when you would hang out with Dominic Black, you'd play Call of Duty and other first-person shooter video games?
Sometimes.
And those are games in which you use weapons like AR-15s to pretty much shoot anybody who comes at you, correct?
It's a video game where two players are playing together.
I don't really understand the meaning of your question, to be honest.
Isn't one of the things people do in these video games, try and kill everyone else with your guns?
Yeah, the video game.
It's just a video game.
It's not real life.
Oh, nicely done.
Look, I said at the beginning, I thought, dangerous, putting an 18-year-old on the stand.
He's 18 now.
But man, if he continues to roast, to utterly destroy these hacks like that.
Yeah, I don't understand what you mean.
Because it's a video game.
Like, when I watch Band of Brothers, I'm not going to invade Japan, by the way.
And when I was five years old and I played Cops and Robbers, I'm not actually shooting bank robbers, you cretin.
Nice try.
But, to JD's point, what does the media do instead?
Oh, you know the thing the media told us doesn't exist?
Do you remember?
CRT doesn't exist.
It's a dog whistle.
Which is weird, isn't it?
Dog whistle, the thing you can't... I mean, humans can't hear them, so I'm not sure the left knows what they're saying.
Anyway, Joy Reid, who said CRT doesn't exist, now says, well, the Carl Rittenhouse case is proof as to why we must teach this thing that doesn't exist.
Cut seven.

why is there even a if you're not watching us on rumble why subscribe right now it's the easiest way you can just go to rumble.com slash seb gorka that's rumble.com slash s-e-b-g-o-r-k you will see the graphic that homophobe joy reed used yes the same joy reed who had filthy
Filthy, bigoted, homophobic content on her blog, which she said once she was caught red-handed, oh, I've been hacked and the FBI is investigating it.
That was what, five years ago, Joy?
Whatever happened to that investigation?
Or did they conclude that, yeah, you're a homophobe?
That woman is doing what?
She's got her team to make this Dodgy graphic.
Thank you, Eric.
This... I don't know.
It's creepy.
It's creepy.
It's got the jury's no names, although we are hearing reports that leftist activists are trying to dox the jury members.
They're taking photographs of the jury members whose identities are secret.
But you know what they're going to try and do?
They're going to try and intimidate them.
And there's this image of how many people in the jury are of which skin color.
Now isn't that graphic on MSNBC from Joy Reid's producers, commissioned by her, isn't that racist?
White woman.
White woman.
Black man.
That's what it says under each outline, silhouette, of one of the jury members.
What did, remind me, what did, um, uh, what's his name?
Oh yes, the greatest civil rights leader in America.
The late Reverend Martin Luther King.
What did he say about race?
What was this dream he had about skin color?
Something to do with how we were judged?
What is the homophobe Joy Reid doing?
She's looking at the question of blind justice.
Justice for all, irrespective ...of race, gender, ethnic background... ...socioeconomic status... ...she's looking through what prism?
One prism and one prism alone... ...race... ...race... ...so here's the thing that kind of... ...I didn't really get to it... ...when I wanted to at the top of the show...
But this is my message for you and I want this to become a mantra.
I want this to be one of our talking points.
They talk about the threat of white supremacy.
They talk about this young boy defending himself from a repeat child rapist who I dearly hope is now rotting in the depths of hell.
They talk about the young boy who defended himself against that serial child rapist as a white supremacist.
Even the current incumbent in the White House called him a white supremacist.
But who are the real white supremacists?
Who are the people who, for decades now, for generations, have looked down on black Americans?
Here's one of them.
You have a problem figuring out whether you're for me or Trump, and you ain't black.
The same man who used the phrase, I don't want my kids growing up in a racial jungle on the floor of the Senate.
The same man who called his fellow Democrat segregationists who he worked with in the Senate Fine gentleman.
The same individual who, along with his White House colleagues, has said, you know, black Americans, Hispanic Americans, you're just too dumb to use the internet.
You don't know how to make an appointment for a vaccine because of your skin color.
That's how dumb you are.
But most white supremacist of all, most racist, most bigoted of all, and the thing that we must remember above all else and never forgive him for until he demands to ask forgiveness from America and from black Americans.
It was Senator Biden.
It was Chairman Biden who led the, quote, high-tech lynching against one of the greatest modern Americans, Clarence Thomas.
Why?
Because he was black.
Because he dared to accept An appointment to the highest court in the land is a black conservative and they try to lynch him in front of TV cameras in a high-tech version of what the Democrats have done for decades in the South to black men and black slaves.
That's where racism is.
The white supremacists are the Democrat Party.
The white supremacists are the Democrat Party.
you you Thank you.
Meadows didn't show up.
I don't know, but Meadows didn't... When Meadows voted on... Didn't the Congress vote first to hold him in contempt?
They did, yeah.
With Bannon?
I don't know.
Yeah, remember?
They did.
Yeah, they did.
It was a couple weeks ago.
Okay.
Some Republicans voted for it, too.
Is Jim here?
Yes.
Jim, you can go on in now.
Let's post that... Yeah, hang on.
Alright, go ahead.
I found all the white supremacists in America.
Found all the white supremacists in America.
And titles for everything else as well besides Dylan when you got a moment.
Priscilla.
How to fight CRT outside of Virginia.
Uh-huh.
Fight CRT outside Virginia.
1A and or Jarrett.
Um... 1A or Jarrett.
Uh, 1A, what did I do on 1A?
It's Rittenhouse again, right?
The Rittenhouse's mother, yeah.
Yeah, um... And also how Rosenbaum deserved to die.
We gotta talk Eastern Europe.
Good.
Eric, can you hit the light?
Yeah.
Oh yeah, would you pull that a bit?
Okay, good.
Good, good, good.
Can you hit the light?
Yeah.
Oh, yeah.
Would you pull that a bit?
Okay, good.
Good, good, good.
And I want to play a cut from Tom Homan about the border.
All right, sounds good.
Cool.
Love that photograph of your dad.
Very cool.
I want to see the ones Chris Plant was saying he found old photographs of his dad, the fighter pilot, and he's going to post them.
I can't wait to see.
Okay.
Did you listen to his show?
His dad, who died when Chris was like two or three, after many, many years later, he found CBS was on the deck of the aircraft carrier after his dad had come back from some raid on Japan and just interviewed him.
And it's incredible.
Every Veterans Day, he plays it.
Yeah, it's amazing.
And it's just so ice cold, like, you know, have you got another cigarette as you're standing there just, you know, having a cigarette before he goes on his next bombing run.
That is so cool.
50 seconds.
You know, do you ever see that one of the, oh, it's the, it was the crew, it's the bomber crew from some character, I can't remember.
And it was, I think, before the Battle of Midway or something.
Anyway, Capra interviewed all these guys and then the entire wing got shot down.
They all died.
Oh my gosh.
So did they make the movie or no?
He compiled the video and he sent copies to all the families.
Wow.
Car 15 here.
It's on YouTube.
It is?
Car15 here.
It is?
Yeah.
Yeah, but it's just...
Portions of America First are brought to you in part by Stand With Israel Tour.

It's Friday.
We serve...
We celebrate the Second Amendment here every Friday.
Please support our Second Amendment Friday sponsor, Car Firearms.
Check out their amazing line of US-made weapons.
I carry a nine mil car.
Go to KAHR.com.
That's KAHR.com.
Why do we invite this chap called Jim Carrafano here every Friday in studio?
I'll tell you why.
Because as he's walking in, I say, Jim, we've got to talk about Eastern Europe.
And what did you respond, Jim Carrafano?
I just talked to him.
He just got off the phone.
This is how plugged in he is.
It's the Vulcan mind meld.
Okay, so for those who are obsessing, you know, this is DC, this is what we do with Carl Rittenhouse, trillion-dollar porculous bills and everything else, and our problems on the border, there's something very disturbing happening 20 miles off the Polish border that most people probably have no idea about.
So talk to us about what Russia is doing with their military forces, what Belarus is doing with their energy, and how it affects all of us because, hey, Poland, NATO, America.
So there are actually three potential crises going on simultaneously on Europe's frontier, and literally Putin could wake up in the morning and just decide, hey, which button do I want to push today?
And what all three have in common is the American response has been, I'm shrugging my shoulders, Brits have sent some troops to Poland.
Right.
So start with Ukraine, which I think everybody knows about.
And we've seen this before.
Massive troop movements, right, exercises on the border of Ukraine.
Militarily intimidating, but this is also a proven Soviet-Russian tactic, you know, going back to the Hungarian Revolution and the Czech Revolution, which is you stage military maneuvers and then one day you just keep going.
Yeah.
Right.
It's no longer a maneuver.
So it is a potential It's a potential invasion, but it's also political posture, like the big beefy guys that hang out in front of Tony Soprano's sausage shop, right?
They're meant to intimidate people.
So that's one ongoing crisis.
The other one, which is unbelievably mind-boggling, is the Russians have actually been facilitating taking people out of the Middle East, sending them to Belarus, and then they're going from Belarus to trying to walk into Western Europe, into Poland, Ukraine, and then they're going from Belarus to trying to walk into Western Europe, into Poland, Ukraine, and other countries. - So, We've got to break this down because people are going, wow, wow, wow.
The Russians are helping Byelorussia literally pick up quote-unquote Iraqi refugees and others and then drop them in Eastern Europe to infiltrate to Poland and put stress on Poland.
And destabilize the country and you know create the narrative of They're refugees.
You don't want to take poor refugees.
How evil are you?
Right.
And of course it's terrible for these people because literally people are saying, hey, you want to go live in the European Union?
I can do it.
Here's a free airplane ticket.
All you got to do is walk across the Belarusian border.
So this is enormously destabilizing.
And not just to put pressure on these countries, but to make them look authoritarian and evil.
But on one level, it's bloody genius.
Right.
Because you've got the EU with its policies to refugees.
Right.
And you're actually, it's a classic jujitsu move, is it not?
This is what Putin does.
He exploits weakness and opportunity.
So, and the third one is in the Balkans.
So what you have is, you know, Bosnia-Herzegovina, which is a federated government, and one of those parts of that federation is the Republic of Srpska, and they have been basically making noise about just essentially becoming independent, which would actually just trigger a shooting war.
And I think the Bosnians... With their Serb allies.
Well, this is the chain of command here, right?
So it's the Serbs who have been supporting the Republic of Srpska, which in turn, who's prompting or enabling and empowering the Serbs, and it goes back to Putin.
So what he's done is he's created three potential crises on the frontier, and he just sits back.
Which is what he does.
He just destabilizes.
He just sits back and says, let's see what the Americans do.
Let's see what happens.
So talk to us a little bit for those who are not familiar.
We have to understand how this is all happening on the territory of Byelorussia.
So who's Lukashenko?
I mean, he is like old school Stalinist, right?
Right.
So Lukashenko and Belarus is theoretically an independent country.
And they have a leader who's theoretically elected.
But the reality is, is It's occupied by Russian troops.
It's dependent on Russian energy.
Its economy is dependent on things.
And Lukashenko, remaining in power because they actually tried to overthrow him, he is beholden to Putin.
So essentially he will do whatever Putin says.
We've had reports daily mail.
Daily mail?
You know, I always give them, you know, hell because, well no, I'm actually giving US media hell because they always break stories as a British newspaper that American media isn't.
Long article.
Let's post this right now from Chris Pleasance.
Russia deploys paratroopers to Belarus border.
Region Amid Fears of Conflict.
Fascinating article in my rundown today.
Yeah, but I think the point is here is... But let me just finish.
So at the top line here is British newspaper.
The Brits have, you know, deployed 150 guys.
Okay.
But what are we doing?
We're doing nothing.
Literally, the US government has said, well, you know, Russia could well invade Ukraine.
That would be terrible.
You Europeans should do something about that.
Belarus and the Russians are destabilizing Eastern Europe.
You know, you guys should do something about that.
Bosnia's got, literally, they're doing nothing other than saying, hey, you know, you guys might want to do this.
It's like if your neighbor's house was on fire, rather than calling the fire department saying, hey, you should call the fire department.
Yeah.
It's demonstrable weakness.
And the idea that the Europeans should do something about that.
Last time I checked, that thing that we helped create in 1949 on April the 9th, that thing called NATO, are we members of that, Jim?
Well, I guess in absentia, I suppose.
But this is the problem.
Look, I don't think Putin is trying to start World War Three any more than the Chinese are trying to start World War Two by doing an invasive invasion of Taiwan.
What they are doing is they are taking advantage of weakness.
They're taking- They're prodding.
You know what it's like?
If you are playing poker with the world's worst poker player and you are just raking in chips every day, the last thing you are going to do is rob the poker game.
Why would you do that?
Just keep playing!
And they're playing America and our allies for a fool.
Two things.
One is you're losing ground every day and eventually you've got to fight to get that ground back.
But the other thing is what happens when somebody just guesses wrong?
And the idea that there's going to be some kind of unitary leadership on this issue out of Europe?
Yeah, it's nonsense.
You know, when Schröder becomes, you know, the CEO of Gazprom in Russia, former German Chancellor, it's not happening, right?
Yeah, you know, people say, you know, this idea of European autonomy, right?
And Biden endorses this.
Yeah.
But Europeans think Biden's treating us like an equal partner.
And that's not what he means by European.
He means basically, you guys are- We're not interested.
Right.
And look, and I love my friends.
You know, I love Tucker.
I absolutely adore the guys.
And I know they think, what do we care about Europe?
It's like, how many world wars do you have to have?
The idea that our interests end at the shores of our coasts, west and east.
I mean, it didn't work in 1914, didn't work in 9-11, didn't work in 1939 or 1941.
It's just unrealistic.
I mean, Tucker's right.
We don't have to solve the world's problems.
We shouldn't be fighting everywhere, but we should do things in our own interest when they make... Right.
Common sense.
And here's the bottom line.
A world without our influence is a destabilized, dangerous world.
Back with the Heritage Foundation's Jim Carrafano after this break.
The Heritage Foundation's Jim Carrafano.
Uh...
O.J. Simpson on The Bills.
Oh, my gosh.
And these guys...
And he's actually quite wealthy.
They're just a crazy bunch of coots.
So how long were you on?
Oh, like half an hour.
So why was it crazy?
What was it like?
Oh, because they're just funny guys.
They're just hilarious guys to be with.
And do you know Carl Jackson?
He filled in for Larry Elder.
So he's part of the Mad Pirates.
Oh, is he down there?
Yeah, yeah.
Okay.
And so he's part of the Mad Pirates.
I told them about it.
It's like a gang of pirates.
Was it fun?
Oh my god, they were so fun.
Did you bring them apple pies?
I did not.
Sorry I didn't bring your pie today.
No, don't!
Don't!
Don't bring your pie every week.
I would, except I just got off a plane.
Because we have pizza.
It's like a double whammy of carbs.
Where have you been traveling?
Back from Presidents?
Yeah, I just came back from Orlando and stuff.
Do you do that at a different place every time?
No, we usually do Presidents Club in DC, but because they were worried about the... We do ALC, which is... In California last time.
And that usually bounces back between California and Florida, but the Presidents Club, which is the bigger one, We usually do in D.C., but because of COVID, they're worried about restrictions.
Right.
We'll just go to Florida.
There's no, you know, nobody's going to bother us.
And they had a smaller event.
It was at the Gaylord.
So instead of having like a thousand people, we only had three hundred.
But it was great.
Kevin was there, okay, and Kevin did kind of a handoff thing.
It was released.
Good.
Yeah, it was great.
Super good.
Excited that she's in the transition team for Youngkin.
Well, you know, I'm really excited about that.
I hope that's like, Why aren't we doing this for every Republican government?
Wow.
There you go.
There you go.
We should do this.
Can't you suggest that?
I think we will.
Everybody wants to do the same thing.
Let's start doing the things we're not doing.
That nobody else does.
That's the Trump way.
Just because you've been doing it the same way doesn't mean it's...
Mike's wrong, but we can switch him off.
That's okay, at least mine's right.
You know me, I do policy on politics.
So the whole campaign side, that's all Greek to me and stuff.
But the more I learn about the RNC, the more I'm like, what?
They don't do half the things that you need to govern.
So I wish you'd just do that.
Cold War conference, right?
Sorry?
Cold War conference.
Oh, we got like three of them.
Okay, good.
I'm on one of them.
Yeah, that's the one Katie's doing.
But we got one on, oh gosh, we already did one.
We did one that Brent did on something, and then we're doing one on the famine.
Oh, on Ukraine?
Actually doing the one on the... 30 seconds.
The post-revolution famine, you know, with Herbert Hoover and basically fed the Russians.
And then they're going to talk about contrasting with what the Russians did in Ukraine.
Wow.
20 seconds.
Astin Israel.

We're back with Vice President of the Heritage Foundation.
Joined today, Heritage.org.
Jim Carafano, at jjcarafano on Twitter.
One of the truth tellers, like your colleague Mark Morgan, on the border crisis, is of course Tom Homan.
Just a shortcut on how it could get even worse.
Cut nine.
This is a flowchart that was given out to leadership of Border Patrol.
And right here in the middle, if you fail to get vaccinated, you don't win the deferment, re-education phase.
Education phase.
It's like this is China.
They're going to be re-educated to follow these explicit rules of the government or they're going to lose their jobs.
This is going to be devastating to border security because a lot of agents will lose their jobs over this mandate.
You, when I was teaching at National Defense University, I mean, you wrote the textbook we used on Homeland Security.
What happens if, you know, the mandate is dropped?
People don't take sick ease and they just say, no, I'm not getting vaccinated.
The border's already open.
And then their option is a re-education by the federal government.
It could get worse than it already is, right?
It would be like doing the Normandy invasion without any troops.
I mean, here's my insight on this.
And I know it's going to be very, very difficult to get this administration to even do the bare minimum to secure the border.
But this is my prediction.
What is going to happen is in 2024, The United States of America and the voters are going to elect a president and it's not just going to be a mandate.
An overwhelming number of Americans will vote to insist that the next president of the United States secure that border on day one and start deporting people and keep deporting people until everybody gets the message that America is not the world's pancake.
Now, how do you do that?
And that is what I think the American conservative movement needs to spend the next three years thinking really serious about.
You mean how we get to that point that we can secure the border?
The brain, and we know how to do that because we did it under Trump.
We've done it, right.
How do we get back there?
To me, the Eisenhower, the Nimitz, the MacArthur, Of that effort is Tom Homan, Mark Morgan, Ken Cuccinelli, Chad Wolf.
These are the key operators.
But Jim, we already have the estimates.
Two million illegals that we know of this calendar year.
You're talking about 2024.
That means what?
Six million?
Eight million?
Ten million?
So, and this is the thing where people think, oh, you can't deport, pick a number, 20 million people, right?
You don't have to.
What you do have to do is you have to start deporting people and deporting them in the millions.
Two things are gonna happen.
One is, people are going to stop coming because they're not going to spend $10,000 for a coyote to come to this country and get thrown out again.
The other thing that's happened is that people here are going to start self-deporting.
And that is not a dirty word.
People self-deport all the time.
I mean, this was a super common thing.
People just go home because they've got homes to go to.
And many of them will just get up and leave.
And, and that, but that's what I think all the other gimmicks, you know, look, I'm, I'm off re-verifying these, these gimmicks about... Gimmicks, yeah.
In, in the end of the day, what convinces people to leave this country is they know that illegal aliens are not welcome in this country.
As is the case in every normal country.
You're right.
I, I find it... Try going to Mexico illegally.
I find it ironic when the Vice President of the United States and Secretary Blinken are obsessing about People coming from Belarus into Western Europe.
And completely indifferent to people weaponizing the same cartels making billions of dollars, opioids by the ton coming in the United States.
No, they don't care about that.
Somehow they understand the national security implications and the threats of un, you know, weaponized migration from Russia, but they don't understand it.
James, James, James, I thought you've lived in the swamp long enough.
Your weaponization of immigration is bad.
My weaponization of immigration is good!

This is about more than being gun enthusiasts.
This has become a very personal issue as we struggle for the soul of America.
Carr wants America First listeners to know That they are not afraid to publicly support Second Amendment Friday.

I'm reading Cam's Twitter bio.
Cam Edwards doesn't F around.
No, indeed.
Cam, welcome back to America First.
Thank you so much, Dr. Gorka.
It's good to be here.
Hey, I'm sure you've been following the Rittenhouse trial closely.
I've got one little cut to share with you to kind of illustrate, well, many aspects of this trial and this insanity.
Play cut.
Hollow point bullets are designed to hit the animal that they're being shot at.
Let's say a deer, for example, and explode inside that body.
Correct?
No, I don't think so.
When you say explode, are you saying expand or explode?
Because there are such things as exploding bullets.
Sure.
Let me rephrase.
Mr. Rittenhouse, what is your understanding of what a hollow point bullet would do if it were shot at, say, a deer?
I don't think people use hollow point.
Yeah, let me expand on that, Your Honour.
I'm an idiot and I don't know anything about guns.
That's the Deputy DA.
Cam, are you surprised that somebody who's trying to lock away an 18-year-old man for murder thinks hollow point bullets explode?
No, I'm not surprised because this prosecutor has revealed himself to be an absolute disaster, I think, over the course of the last two weeks.
And there have been so many times when you've had even state's witnesses on the stand.
And this prosecutor has clearly no idea what the answer is going to be to the question that he's asking.
This is a case where he didn't even know what question to ask.
But I think what Binger was really trying to do there was insert into the mind of jurors the idea that The ammunition that was in this big, scary rifle was extra bad, right?
Because already, it's a black gun, right?
They're extra scary, right?
Exactly, because at one point, and I believe it was during the cross-examination of Kyle Rittenhouse, he's talking about, well, Gage Groyskrutz is standing over you, and he's got a handgun.
But you've got a rifle, so why are you in fear for your life?
Because you, like, rifled Trump's handgun.
I mean, it's an absolutely absurd argument.
Hang on, stop it.
Why was I afraid for my life?
This was an amazing point.
We could have cut that as well, but where the same joke of a prosecutor said, well, he had a gun, and why were you afraid of him when he was getting closer to you?
Because he could have shot you from 50 yards away with that handgun.
I mean, These kind of beggars belief that they don't have the fundamental knowledge that a gun can kill you when it's two feet away or 20 feet away.
Yeah, absolutely.
But see, I think this goes to the weakness of the prosecution's case.
I don't think that Rittenhouse should have been charged to begin with.
I think that the charging was a political decision.
But you know, look, if you're Thomas Bingham, you're a binger, you've got to do the best with what you got.
And the best that he can do is to try to emotionalize what happened there in the minds of the jury.
So they're not thinking about Kyle Rittenhouse running away from Joseph Rosenbaum, Rosenbaum lunging for his gun, Rittenhouse firing in self-defense, and then running towards the police when he's attacked, falls to the ground, and has to fire in self-defense.
That's not what Binger wants the jury to be thinking about.
They want the jury to be thinking about Kyle Rittenhouse, you know, walking the streets of Kenosha with his AR-15 that he shouldn't have had, and he was the one looking for trouble, and boy, he found it.
I mean, it's an absurd argument.
I have to believe that the jury is going to see through this, but, you know, it remains to be seen.
And the media has done such a horrible job Of presenting what's actually happened during this trial.
I think a lot of people, their first exposure to this was, you know, Rittenhouse on the stand and then breaking down.
And then they heard the media say, oh, those are crocodile tears.
He wasn't really crying.
You know, I think the media is amping things up so that there's an acquittal.
There is supposed to be a sense of rage and anger across Americans.
And I'm worried about that because I think they're ginning up a controversy when, if they had simply presented the facts of this case fairly, people would be saying, Alright, you know what?
I don't even know if he should have been there, but he was acting in self-defense.
Which I think is a fair statement for folks to have.
Cam, this isn't just about one man.
This isn't just about a political distortion because he's white, because he's, you know, heterosexual.
Can't we see all of this, this abortion of a trial, as really just a frontal assault on our civil liberties and the Second Amendment?
Is that too much of a statement?
You know, I don't know if it's too much of a statement, but I think it's certainly an aspect of this case, because you are fundamentally attacking the right of self-defense, which contradicts, by the way, what the Supreme Court said in Heller, what it said in McDonnell, what I hope it's going to say in New York State Rifle and Pistol Association versus Bruin next year.
We have a fundamental right of self-defense.
And that doesn't disappear just because you're 17 and you're walking the streets of Kenosha after curfew.
It doesn't change if you're carrying an AR-15 and the person who could kill you is carrying a handgun.
If Kyle Rittenhouse was the initial aggressor in this case, then he wasn't acting in self-defense, but there's been no evidence ...showing that Kyle Rittenhouse was the initial aggressor.
You know, they ended their redirect yesterday with this really pixelated fuzzy image that they claim shows Kyle Rittenhouse pointing a gun moments before Rosenbaum comes out and starts chasing him.
I look at this, and I can't see what I'm looking at.
It was such a desperate attempt, and even the judge pointed out, you're doing what here?
You're using a program to add pixels to an already grainy footage, and we're supposed to take that as evidence of some kind of assault?
It is a beggaring belief.

I know Sebastian well.
Listen to him.
He's with us.
Thank you kindly.
Thank you, Mr. President.
Did you hear the latest news?
The White House, according to the New York Post, is looking for a job for Terry McAuliffe.
Oh, how the mighty have fallen.
Kayleigh Patterson says that they're trying to find a job for him now that he's not going to be the governor of Virginia.
Who is going to be the governor of Virginia?
It's going to be a former businessman called Glenn Youngkin.
I want to play this cut for you because I want to analyze it along with Mr. G. He was asked about the Republicans, the 13 traitors, that voted for the infrastructure porculous bill of Nancy and Chuck, and this was his response.
Cut one.
Governor, what do you think of the House passage of the bipartisan infrastructure bill?
Do you think it was a good move for those 13 Republicans to support passage of the bill?
Or do you think it was not a good idea to give the President a victory on infrastructure?
Well, mine's far less of a good or bad political decision.
There's going to be good support for Virginia that comes out of that bill.
And right now we're trying to make sure we identify where the support for Virginia can come.
We've got a lot of infrastructure needs in Virginia.
I've been very focused on On broadband access in rural Virginia, really important.
Making sure that our roads and bridges are reinforced and maintained, but we've also got a lot of expansion we need to do.
Let's ask the man with the best political sense in the building, Mr. G, that response from the incoming Republican governor of Virginia.
When I heard that yesterday, everybody talks about how he's the businessman, first-time politician.
Sounds like he's been in the GOP for 10 years.
Exactly scripted, plays to both sides, he's excited about the infrastructure.
I didn't have a lot of big hopes for Junkin, but I'll tell you this, he's got to follow through on CRT.
Yes.
That's what he's got to do.
He promised.
He promised on the night of the election, day one, he's going to ban it.
So that's pretty simple.
We shall see.
Congratulations to Justin News for running that question past the incoming governor.
Dale in Detroit's been waiting a long time.
Dale, line four.
Dr. G. Hey, you're up.
You've got a minute.
Okay, you want me to call you back after I finish Blake's 7?
I thought it was one of my favorite series.
The British sci-fi TV show from my childhood.
You finished it.
What's the verdict, Dale?
I thought it was one of my favorite series.
I love the way that it got really dark in that fourth series.
And, excuse me, the only thing I wish Servaland would have been in that last episode, to kind of wrap that up a little bit.
Yes, the weirdo.
Yes, the Wicked Witch of the West, Serverland, was the arch-nemesis.
Thank you for calling back in.
Guys, if you're not familiar with it... Can I say one more thing?
No, we're out of time, Dale.
Blake's 7 is the Magnificent 7 in space.
Thank you for calling back as you promised.

Thank you.
Thank you. .
Thank you.
Thank you.
Yes, TV is dominated by certain shows that aren't fictional, aren't the soap operas of yesteryear, but are actual real events, and one of my favorites.
I gotta be careful, because with my accent, this word, you gotta pronounce it right.
Anyway, let's just show you a clip from Porn Stars.
Earlier, I checked out a Soviet fighter jet.
Normally, I avoid aircraft because they tend to be money pits.
But this one seems like something I could turn a big, fast profit if everything's right.
So I asked my friend Matt to come down and take a look at it.
Hey, guys.
How we doing?
Doing great, man.
Rick, good to see you again.
Chum, how you doing?
Welcome to the danger zone.
I'm a Marine F-18 pilot with 17 years experience, a graduate of the Naval Fighter Weapons School, Top Gun, and former U.S.
Navy Blue Angel pilot.
So what do you know about it?
So this is an awesome jet.
This is an L-39 Albatross.
It's from the former Soviet bloc, built in Czechoslovakia.
There's a couple thousand of them made, and it's the advanced jet trainer for the Soviet bloc planes.
There's several third world countries that still use this.
Georgia, Libya.
Where they put bombs on it, things like that?
You know, it'd be a little different.
This is a fuel tank.
You could take this off, strap on a gun pod, a missile, or potentially some bombs right onto the pylon.
You could pretty much load this thing up.
Hasn't everybody wanted a Soviet-era fighter?
Even if it doesn't fly, I just want it parked outside my house.
That's the kind of business he's into.
He is the star of Pawn Stars.
Rick Harrison, delighted to have you on America First.
Thanks for having me.
So, did you buy it?
I need to know.
Did you buy that plane?
I didn't need to buy it.
You know, uh... It was, uh... That one was sort of a nightmare, but, like, uh...
If I could buy it and flip it, I'll buy it.
Flip it, I'll buy it.
I'll buy anything I can make money on.
Yes, you do.
People have been watching your show and you doing exactly that for years.
So we want to talk about all the aspects of what you do.
We met for the first time.
We've got a photograph a couple of years ago.
I mean, it was pre-COVID, pre-the Wu flu, the greatest convocation of conservatives on the planet.
It is, of course, Match Labs, CPAC, that occurs every single year.
And I said, can I get a photograph?
Can I get a selfie?
Not only did he say yes, Rick Harrison said, you've got to do the pose.
Of course, the pose!
And it was one of my most popular posts.
Thank you, Rick, for making that day very, very special.
OK, let's start with the show.
When I met you, when you came on my show for the first time, you blew me away.
Because I just thought, this is a great show.
This is a fun show.
It's educational.
But then you told me, how many countries?
So tell us where it broadcasts, how many seasons you're in, and just the incredible success of this show about you and your colleagues.
I mean, I think it's 150 countries, 38 languages.
I mean, I'm filming season 19 right now, and I'm still like the number four show in South America.
Um, it's like I said, all over the world and um, you know, I mean the COVID thing is messing up my numbers right now, but I usually get like over 3,000 people a day this time of year in my pawn shop.
I'm only getting like 1,800 because of COVID though.
So that is truly remarkable.
Do you have any, you must have done, you know, analysis, you must have done the analytics.
Why do you think it's in 150 nations?
Is it the, for me, it's, you know, of course, it's entertaining you, your colleagues, your late father, Chumlee, your son, but also it's the injection.
You're actually learning stuff, especially with the historic items you have such a passion for.
Have you worked at, is that the magic secret?
You know, part of the magic is people love to learn.
They really love to learn history.
They like to learn it from their uncle, not a professor looking down their nose at you.
And they want to laugh a little bit.
Especially young people, because I have a history channel.
I have the youngest demographic on there.
I mean, I have kids watching all the time.
And if you can relate it to something today, they're interested.
But if you just start talking about something old, they just fade away.
You tell them, like, when 1890s personal printing presses just came out, and they were the rage, where you could make your own little newsletters, make your own little broadsides, all these other things, and explain, no, that was the internet of the 1890s, now they're interested.
Yeah, bingo.
But if you just start going on and droning on, just saying, date, date, date, date, that's when you lose them.
But no, we laugh a lot, we joke around, and we make learning history fun, and it's kind of like a game show, too, when I buy stuff off people.
I think that is the secret.
It's learning, but it's enjoyable.
And there's also that frisson, that tension always.
Is he going to get the deal?
Is he going to walk away?
Is that person going to walk away from that glass cabinet or not?
And everybody wants you to close that deal.
Tell us a little bit about your story, because I think if I remember correctly, you have a fascinating story of how you got in the business and then how you became, am I correct, the first 24-hour pawn shop in the city?
Yes, no, in the States as far as I know.
Well, I Always wanted a pawn shop.
Okay, and I was a naive 22 year old I went down to a city business license and I say I want a pawn license and they say no and I go they showed me the city code so apparently the good old boys got together in 1955 with 25,000 people live in Las Vegas and They Wrote a city ordinance that they would issue one more POM license when the city population got to a quarter of a million.
And I was thinking, like, well, it hadn't been closed.
So, like, I started calling up the city statistician, like, every week, every other week.
And in April of 88, he said, yeah, we think it's a quarter of a million now.
So as a naive 23-year-old, I went down there and said, give me my POM license.
And they said, no, but I got a lawyer.
The judge said he was the first one there.
Give it to him.
And even back then, pawn licenses were up for like a half a million dollars in Vegas.
Oh my gosh.
And then talk to us about, you know, once you're established, the decision to go, you know, 24 hours and how you got to this point where you are the pawn shop for the world.
Well, like, um, I mean, there's, there's actually chains of pawn shops that are traded on the New York Stock Exchange.
They got thousands of stores and a lot of those were owned in Vegas.
And, um, I knew I had to be different.
I mean, I knew I couldn't go head to head with Walmart, so I had to be Tiffany's.
So you created the most immaculate store, the most immaculate pawn shop.
And you're right.
I mean, when you go into the average one, it's desperate people, it's bicycles that have been there for a couple of years.
It's not like your store, which is...
Which is incredibly, I think, part of the success.
Tell us about the clientele, because of course you're picking and choosing the most interesting items for the show.
Do you pull on a different class of clients and customers for your store?
Yeah, that's one thing I've really prided myself on over the years.
No matter what, always be 100% honest with every one of my clients.
If they come in here and they have something that's amazing and they don't know about it, I tell my employees you're going to pay them what it's worth because my reputation is everything.
I mean, there's a million little pawn shops all around this country that don't do well.
I did great because I have a great reputation.
And then over the years, I have people coming around all from around the United States to sell me stuff because I know it's honest.
And then once I got the show, I mean, we really thought There wasn't going to be enough items.
But once the television show aired, I mean, everybody and their brothers started coming in with stuff, emailing us stuff.
I got my pick of what I want to put on the show.
I mean, I get 100 emails a day from people wanting to sell me really bizarro stuff.
Okay, so I have one question that always burns in me every time I watch your show, and it's the following.
When you have this amazing rolodex of experts, it doesn't matter what it is, antique toys, Civil War memorabilia, first editions, and the expert comes in and says, oh yes, this is a real signature, blah, blah, blah, this is a real whatever, and says, the market value you could sell this for is $5,000.
And then you ask the owner how much do they want and they say, well, okay, $5,000.
Why do people not understand that you're a businessman and not a charity?
I see this again and again and again.
Is there some kind of mental block to these people?
I think they're Democrats.
That's another story.
Nicely.
Touche.
Touche.
That's one of the reasons why people like my show, I think.
Put it the way it's out there.
I mean, there's a power bill to be paid.
I got six kids.
They're expensive.
I mean, I gotta make a living off it.
And that was like the first show ever to do that.
Everyone just explained, like, you know, I have a business here.
This is how business is run.
And this is why you can get this much.
Because what you have might take me a year to sell.
If it's a gold coin, you know, just bully him, I can pick up the phone and sell it right away.
I mean, I'm happy making 1%, but perhaps some artwork that might sit on the wall for a year or two, you'll be lucky to get 50%.
It's one of my favorite shows I can I still don't know how to pronounce it.
I am an American, but hey, I wasn't born in Alabama.
It's Porn Stars.
It is the gold and silver 24-hour porn shop.
Now in its 19th season, it is Mr. Rick Harrison and his team.
It's not just fun.
It's not just true, it's also educational, and I think he nailed it.
It's making history fun again.
You've got to watch this show.

Of course, you're a history buff.
When you do the behind the scenes little cuts, the explanations for what's happening out front, you are seen very often in front of a big rack of guitars.
What really gets you excited?
When somebody walks in the store, what kind of item is, oh wow, I want to see this one.
I'm going to deal with this customer.
Well, before I say that, I gotta tell you, like, with the British accent thing, a few years ago we did a bunch of commercials in the UK for Pawn Stars, and all we did was we put little, really old couples on a park bench, and they just said, and we had them like, well, tonight, you wanna watch some Pawn?
Yeah, I would love to watch some Pawn.
Is that for real?
Yes, we had, like, four different couples, and then it said, like, Pawn Stars.
Did it work?
How were your UK ratings?
I bet, I bet.
My American wife always makes fun of me when I talk about it.
No, that's not how it's said in American.
Sorry, honey.
Anyway, carry on.
What do you have, let's say, the biggest collection of?
My biggest collection is books.
I have a ton of first editions of John Locke, Francis Bacon.
Wow.
A lot of things like that.
I collect old motorcycles.
Anything with great history and a great story behind it.
When it comes to antiques and collectibles and everything, we don't buy the item, we buy the story.
I ended up brokering a deal on one of the original Declaration of Independence broadsides.
Oh, my gosh.
A few months ago.
And what's your most treasured item that you got, not at an auction, but from somebody who walked into gold and silver?
Probably, you know, like, I mean, I've done multimillion-dollar gold deals and things like that.
I'm a pawn shop.
I don't have a lot of customers for, like, multimillion-dollar items, and I really don't like to spend, like, over $150,000 for something because you start getting into rarefied air when you – The amount of people can afford things like that.
I mean big diamonds and things like that.
I bought old cars for over $100,000.
But it's a neat thing about my job.
bought old cars for over $100,000.
But it's a neat thing about my job.
It's something different every single day.
I mean, someone at a yard sale bought a 1948 GE TV and brought it in here the other day.
Wow.
Truly stunning.
To me, it's like my nerd brain.
It's got this round tube in it.
We've come a really long way in technology, but in 1948, this was the most technologically advanced thing on the planet.
And it's just the progression of everything.
How did you build, I'm curious, I'm sure it's just a function of time, but was there any secret?
How did you hunt out these people who, you know, you need to verify the authenticity of this, you know, Civil War tunic.
How did you create this amazing roster of people?
My entire business, I've always done business with other people.
You know, one thing I tell my kids and I tell young people all the time, never be the smartest guy in the room, except the fact that people don't, there's a lot of people out there that know a lot of things about a lot of stuff you don't know about and talk to them.
One thing with my kids, like I said, I have six kids.
The second one of them goes like, I know, I know, I blow up.
Well, now you don't know, you need to sit and learn.
So I've done business with all these people for years and years and years.
And, It was really great when we started the TV show because every one of their businesses just blew up.
I mean, look, Rebecca, who just ran a little teeny antique bookshop.
Yeah, the person who authenticates the first editions.
Right.
The lady who authenticates the first editions for you.
Yeah.
She's absolutely brilliant, too.
She reads like eight different languages.
Wow.
And then she has profited from your fame and fortune.
Yeah.
And then like Mark Hall Patton, the guy with the beard, the most Whoever thought a museum curator would become famous if he stopped in the street all the time for photographs and pictures?
I think the hat helps.
It's not just the beard, but I think the hat helps as well to get him recognized.
So explain to us why it is that we met where we met at the largest concerted convocation because we don't see a lot of big media celebrities come to CPAC every year.
So explain to us why that happened and why you weren't concerned about the consequences for you in this insane era of cancel culture.
Well, no, I am worried about it a little bit.
I mean, I don't want to get anything canceled.
I mean, and, um, I don't think, you know, I just state the facts.
I mean, like, you know, like my history, Bob, you've got through history.
Socialism has never worked.
Capitalism is literally the greatest system ever to bring people out of poverty.
Um, you know, every, you know, if you have liberal people complaining about this country all the time, we have the highest standard of living in the world and it's all because of capitalism.
And, um, you know, There's no perfect system, but this is the best system we have.
And it literally, you just allow people to do their business and take risks on their own.
In the end, it will be better for everybody.
A great story I always tell is in the 1850s, the de facto watch capital of the world was London, England.
But at that time, inexpensive machine tools were coming out to make watches.
Little watch companies started popping up in the United States.
By the 1890s, the best watches in the world, hands down, were American pocket watches.
As a matter of fact, Congress had to pass a law saying the origin of the watch had to be on the dial of the watch because of all those cheap Swiss fakes in the country.
And the London watch industry collapsed because it took 17 different unions to make a watch.
Yeah, not exactly good for business.
In 1890, they were still making the same watches they were making in 1820.
Because you just, government intervention, government intervention, government intervention.
Just like me, I mean, I have, right now I think I have around 65 employees.
You know, if there was less government regulation, I'd probably have more.
I mean, I don't need to work.
I could retire tomorrow.
I love to employ people.
I like, you know, I like to brag that I pay my employees a little bit more than everybody else.
I get great benefits.
Um, but you know, when the government just keeps on dragging every money down, you know, and just, uh, you know, cowing to lobbyists and everyone gets, uh, the, all the special interest groups.
Um, it's, uh, you know, people just need to be educated about it because today in high school, you've learned nothing about, uh, capitalism, socialism, uh, why one is better than the other.
And all you gotta do is historical facts.
Capitalism is a thousand times better.
I'm dating a girl from France right now and the reason why she lives here is because she can't stand socialism.
It's like Churchill said with regards to democracy, the worst system in the world except compared to all the others.
You can say that about capitalism as well.
The ideology that has raised more people out of poverty across the planet than any other one.
And it's just a statement of empirical fact.
Socialism, communism has been attempted in more than 40 nations around the world.
Every single one of them has been an abject failure.
We're talking to the founder, the owner of Gold & Silver, one of the stars, along with his family, of the amazing reality TV show, Pawn Stars.

The End
Mr. Harrison, you mentioned what our kids learn in school.
Let's dwell on that for a moment as somebody who's more than a history buff, but anybody who has, you know, classic editions of John Locke and knows of what they speak.
What happened in America?
You were born here.
I'm just an immigrant to this nation, a Legal immigrant to this nation.
You grew up here, you were taught certain things in school when it comes to civics and history.
What happened?
Did parents, you're the father of six, did we just disengage with what our children were being taught?
How do we get to a point where we have a survey?
A recent survey from the Victims of Communism Memorial Foundation and YouGov that found that more than 60% of American millennials, Rick, would prefer to live in a socialist or communist America.
How on earth did America get there?
I mean, the teachers unions, you know, liberal professors teaching, you know, teaching the teachers that teach your children.
And, you know, I mean, socialism sounds great on paper.
I mean, I got a lot of flack when I was When we met at CPAC, I started off my speech was like, socialism is like heroin.
The first shot is great, and after that, life is pretty bad.
Basically, it starts off great until you take all the rich people's money, and then everything goes to hell.
But you have all these liberal professors who have, like, on paper, it's going to work great.
And no, it's never going to work great.
We have those liberal professors teaching the teachers that teach our children.
Quite frankly, I don't know exactly how to fix it.
Besides, when your kids go to college, tell them, you know, don't agree with this, you know, joint turning point or something like that.
That's what I told my kids.
And, you know, you know, you know, in some cases they can't even speak out because like professors, you know, but I don't know.
Just get everybody to vote.
Because I think everybody's opinion is changing.
They're seeing how bad all this liberal insanity is.
Are you excited?
Are you excited about what you've witnessed or what we've witnessed in the last few months?
I think thanks in part to COVID at the school boards where parents are saying, hang on, what garbage are you teaching?
Is that how we're going to win by having people who love America push back and actually maybe run for school boards?
Yeah, I mean, I've complained about what they teach at school for years and years.
If a kid comes out of high school, they don't even know what a lease is.
They don't teach them anything practical.
I can start yelling and screaming here.
Fire away, as long as you don't transgress.
Get out there, find out what their kids are getting taught.
Really know who they're voting for when they go to vote.
You know, let's face it.
It's a nightmare voting when you go into the booth and there's 125 boxes you have to check.
Yeah.
People really got to start doing the research.
Um, and cause right now I like my business.
I mean, like, uh, I have a lot of different businesses.
One of them is a whole wholesale framing company, uh, frame art for myself and like galleries around Las Vegas and different places.
Um, my materials are up 50, 60% of the stuff I can get.
Uh, I have a large internet department, okay.
Cardboard boxes have almost doubled in price.
The prices of everything is going insane and I can't get no, it's next to impossible to get employees.
I mean, it's getting a little bit better now, but like, when they were getting all that extra unemployment money, I couldn't get no employees to even work.
Now, we're hearing this all across the country, you know, I just hired a carpenter and he says he literally can't find somebody to assist him in doing basic deck work.
I mean, you know, this is Virginia, this is insanity.
So, you mentioned Turning Point USA, you mentioned colleges.
What about the idea that college degrees, are they worth anything anymore?
Shouldn't we have more vocational schools?
Where do you stand on that?
I completely agree.
Originally, when Marco Rubio announced he was going to run for President in 2015, I was going to back him first.
And the main reason why is he truly believes that, like, when your kid goes to high school, you sit down with the counselor and the kid, the parents, and say, hey, are we going to go the college path or are we going to go to a trade school?
And then, like, two days a week go to high school, three days a week go to a trade school.
Right now, I mean, like, I got friends.
Friends that are welders that make a lot more than friends that are lawyers.
And they don't have no student debt.
My son's a master plumber and he makes $100,000 a year.
Very nice.
And that's a real job.
I'm not sure you could get that kind of pay if you had a degree.
And what do they do now?
Gender studies, sustainability.
Not sure that leads to the kind of success of somebody who can actually build something or repair stuff with his hands.
Do you believe that America is the greatest nation on God's earth?
Are you a part of the Make America Great Again movement?
I'm Sebastian Gorka, former strategist to President Donald J. Trump, and I want to give you the opportunity to share your values.
And blast them around the world in what you wear.
Yes, take the America First message, whether it is about the president's anti-woke agenda, whether it is about stopping the vaccine mandates, my body, my choice, or just telling everyone how you feel about this shining city on a hill.

Mr. Harrison, you mentioned, or I mentioned, and you reacted to it, this topic of cancel culture.
Do you have any advice for businesses?
We're seeing, you know, the genuflecting of big corporations to things like Black Lives Matter and to, you know, the whole gender diversity.
California now has to have gender Equity in its C-suites, the boards have to hire a certain proportion of women.
What does this do, eventually, to business?
I run my business, I hire the best people, and it creates diversity.
I have a very, very diverse employee base, and they're all over the place, and I hire really good people.
At the end, you'll end up getting a very diverse group.
That's the way I look at it.
I've got transgenders that work for me, like every race, creed, everything, and I just hire really good people and in the end you'll get that diverse group.
My belief, I'm an immigrant so you can correct me if I'm wrong, is that one of the commonalities of the American character, wherever you are in America, is common sense.
At the end of the day, there's a certain pragmatism to the American way.
Do you think, are you an optimist?
Do you think that pragmatism, that common sense attitude will eventually win over against these politically charged restrictions on business and culture?
I think it will.
I mean, people come to their senses, like all this is just insanity.
The pendulum has swung so far to the left.
I mean, I don't see how it can go much higher.
I think the Democrats are going to get just annihilated next year.
I mean, literally, we have to do... Biden's trying to appoint one woman for head of the Treasury that wants to bankrupt oil, coal, Yeah.
out of companies, I'm like, those are families.
And I'm just telling you right now, I'm 56 years old.
If I worked in a coal mine, I'm not going to be able to learn how to code.
Yeah.
Well, we have Carrie, who is the climate czar, who just two days ago literally said, we will have no coal industry in America by the end of this decade.
And as you said, that's, that's, you know, in nine years from now, that means families with no income, correct?
Yeah, I mean, no, I mean, like, so like, yeah, I love how he's all high and mighty, flies around the world in a private jet.
His carbon footprint is probably that of a hundred and 50 families in West Virginia, but that's all right.
You can put them, you know, it's hypocrisy, it's arrogance, and I really think people are just getting really, really tired of it. - You have one of the most successful media products in the world, not just in the United States.
We're seeing this also infect media production.
Is this also going to be something that there's a common sense response to?
We see great franchises.
We see Star Wars, Star Trek being undermined by politics.
Doesn't the market at some point say, Hang on, if nobody wants to watch your program, your show, your movie, then you're going to run out of money.
Doesn't there have to be some kind of market course correction?
If they make bad television or bad movies, people aren't going to watch them and the market will correct them.
Me, I just basically haven't made no changes.
I just have a family-friendly show.
From day one, I told All the people at the production company and everything are like, I'll never make a show where I'd be embarrassed for my mom to watch.
That is so fascinating.
Was there any pushback over the years, or you just said, this is how we do it?
Yeah, there were certain things they wanted me to film with them, and I'm like, no.
And certain things they asked me to say, I'm like, no, I won't do that.
Well, God bless you for doing that.
I mean, I wish we could see more of that attitude in the production of other things that we are witnessing whenever we switch on our various streaming shows today.
Yeah, the entire time I've had my show, it's always... That's for the rule.
Never make a show that I'd be embarrassed for my mother to watch.
Fabulous.
How recognized are you when you travel the world?
You said 150 countries.
I've been mobbed in Kuala Lumpur.
Is it selfies all the time?
Is it selfies with... Selfies, selfies, selfies, autographs, yeah.
Selfies, autographs.
You've got to follow this, man.
You've got to watch the show.
What did you say?
Season 19?
Is that what you're filming right now?
We're filming season 19 right now.
Incredible.
Incredible.
If you like this show, I ask you as a personal favor, there's another great patriot out there who is in need of your support, exactly because of the cancel culture occurring across this nation.
He is America's Mayor.
He saved New York twice.
Rudy Giuliani is in the crosshairs of cancel culture.
Will you please support him today?
He's still fighting for the truth.
RudyGiulianiFreedomFund.com.
That's RudyGiulianiFreedomFund.com.
You made some trenchant comments Rick, at CPAC a few years ago about the state of the economy.
Did you expect it?
Did you think we could ever be where we are today that within 11 months of a new administration we see inflation?
I mean, most people, you know, another thing they don't teach in school is what inflation is.
Inflation is not the price of things going up.
It's the valuing of the currency.
You keep on printing more of something, it's going to be worth less.
Like Beanie Babies.
Nothing's free.
Nothing's free.
Biden is saying that he's not going to raise taxes on the poor.
Well, inflation is a tax.
Government prints more money, makes your money worth less.
It's basically a tax.
The United States got slapped in the past year with a 6% tax.
That's 6% on your take-home pay, which works out to like 8% after you take out everything else.
Poor people can't afford that.
I know people who drive.
Their job involves driving all over town.
It's killing them.
The price of everything is going up, and the reason why is they're printing money like it's candy.
You know what I mean?
There's no economic sense.
There's a reason his business is called Gold and Silver.
Very hard to devalue that.
That's not fiat currency.
That's currency that people have wanted for millennia.
We're talking to Rick Harrison.
He's the owner of the Gold and Silver Pawn Shop.
If you enjoy our one-on-one discussions, I'm a huge fan of The Long Form.

America first.
Thank you.
I want to have a pawn shop.
He pestered and pestered the local authorities until he got that license, and now he's got a TV show based on that business in 150 countries!
What is your message to people?
I mean, work hard.
It's the American dream.
It's why this country works so great.
Basically, in Europe or Asia, if you ever declare bankruptcy, you'll never get a loan the rest of your life.
It's a stigmatism on you forever.
This is the one country, like, if you fail, it's alright.
You can do it again.
Do it again.
Try and try again.
I mean, Henry Ford went bankrupt twice before he had Ford going.
And it's the most amazing country in the world.
Don't give up.
I mean, because if you give up, you definitely will never make it.
Okay?
And if you want to change politics, get out there and tell every one of your friends What you think they should do in the voting booth, do what you need to do.
But sitting on your butt and doing nothing is going to get you nothing.
Sounds like common sense to me, and not just those who believed in the American dream and who lost faith.
What is your message to those who never had it, or the youth today, who have been taught that America is the problem, that we are the issue in the world today?
What do you say to those people, or those kids?
First, I've explained to them, like, well, if everybody in the world wants to come here, why are we so bad?
Okay?
And I'll tell you what, dude, like, go to India for a week and come back and tell me how terrible we are here.
Or go to like Kuala Lumpur, where some of the Muslim restrictions are pretty bad, or just anywhere in the world.
There is not another place in the world with our living standard, plain and simple.
They might try to tell you there is, but there isn't.
You know, and we have, you know, but, you know, it will decline.
And the government keeps on getting every dime the government spends just takes more freedoms away from it.
A very, very wise man once said, big government equals little citizen.
And that's exactly what this man is talking about.
And he's proven that the American dream is very, very much alive.
Season 19.
I'm going to keep watching it.
Why?
Because I'm a history buff too.
I'm a collector, but because he makes history fun and incredibly enjoyable.
And that is an art.
God bless you, Rick Harrison.
As ever, because this show is called America First, because we celebrate America, because we believe it is the apotheosis, it is the pinnacle of our civilization, the best civilization this world has ever seen, as we do every Friday, we're going to sign off with the words that Guide us here at Salem Radio, the words of my former boss.
Well, he's actually still my boss because I'm still a member of the National Security Education Board, thanks to President Trump.
This is his message to all Americans across the country, whether or not you voted for him, the 45th President of the United States.
We will not bend.
We will not break.
We will not yield.
We will never give in.
We will never give up.
We will never back down.
We will never, ever surrender.
My fellow Americans, our movement is far from over.
