Thank you.
Omicron is as deadly and causes as much serious disease in the unvaccinated as Delta did.
The numbers look at the hospitalization rates that are going on.
We have more affected people in the country today than we had a year ago in January.
We have hospitals that are almost at full capacity with people severely ill on ventilators.
We have over 100,000 children, which we've never had before, in serious condition, and many on ventilators.
Perhaps ventilators.
The stupidest person to ever don judicial robes.
That's stunningly, stunningly, my gosh, the calls are already coming in.
We just started the show two minutes ago.
That is Justice, Associate Justice Sotomayor today during the mandate hearing saying what?
That we have a hundred thousand children admitted to hospitals with the COVID virus.
Do you believe that number?
We didn't have a hundred thousand children admitted to hospital last year for anything.
For anything!
Let alone one virus.
The real number today is 3,000.
There is somebody sitting on the Supreme Court, of course, of course, an Obama appointee who's there, not because she knows anything of the law, but because she is a, what shall we say, positive discrimination hire.
An individual who talked about the reflex of dead brain people three weeks ago.
Did you hear that when she was talking about the abortion Roe v. Wade appeal?
She said, oh well a baby can't feel pain because dead brain, not brain dead because she doesn't speak English, but dead brain people are known to twitch their feet in the morgue.
It's incredible.
I don't know how this person's body remembers to breathe.
How does she actually function?
Oh, by the way, sorry, so this is America First.
I'm Sebastian Gawken.
This is the Salem Radio Network.
I always have to do that eye dent at the top, allegedly.
Chat, that one's for you.
How did she ever get to be a judge anywhere?
I mean, I wouldn't hire her to be the county dog catcher.
Only 97% wrong.
Could you imagine, in any field, if you got something 97% wrong, and in the beginning of the cut, that was today, today in the Supreme Court, that's audio from the Supreme Court, because cameras aren't allowed, but audio is.
She said, did you hear what she said?
The Omicron is far more deadly than the Delta.
Mm-hmm, okay.
Current population of the world, almost eight billion people.
Yeah, let's just say eight billion.
And confirmed, not even really confirmed, kind of quasi-confirmed deaths from Omicron, eight.
Not in DC, not in America.
Not in North America, not in the hemisphere, in the world.
We have one, one possible death from Omicron in Texas that has yet to be fully verified that it wasn't a comorbidity-caused death, but a Supreme Court Associate Justice says, um, far more dangerous.
Yes, it's far more dangerous.
That's it.
I'm done.
I'm never going to ask myself the rhetorical question again, ever.
As to whether they really know what they're doing.
They're cretins.
They're morons.
When I heard that earlier today as I was driving into the studio and it snowed again.
It's so lovely.
So lovely.
I love the snow.
Poor Geoff.
The swamp looks just a little bit cleaner again.
Still a stinking swan, but the dogs love it, and that's fine.
My dog Leia, my puppy, we have two Terhorens, two Belgian Shepherds.
She likes to walk as she's eating the snow.
It's so cute.
She'll just dip her head and take a little bit of a slushy as she's walking with me.
We went for a long walk today.
It was fabulous.
Where was I?
Ah, yes.
I came, you know, there are some questions that trouble me all the time, that we return to, you know, chronic hysteresis questions.
And the one that's played us perhaps more than others in the last three years since we launched this show, and happy anniversary to all of our listeners.
To the team here, to Phil who hired me, that crazy guy at that book party four years ago who stood at the door by himself and said to me, Dr. Gawker, have you ever thought of doing radio?
And I thought he was pulling my leg.
And I said, yeah, I'd love to.
I thought he was joking.
Then he gave me his business card.
Vice President of Salem!
Wow!
And so be it.
That is how it all began.
Three years later, I have a new contract.
God bless you all guys standing by me.
It was a tough time after leaving the White House.
God bless Tom Tradup as well, the head of our Radio voice broadcasting, and especially Ed Atzinger, the big boss, who now has moved over to the board.
A little inside baseball, but guys, I've done it once, once in three years.
Can I thank these people?
Can I be a little bit grateful?
Especially to Dave Santralo, the new CEO of Salem.
We're doing exciting things, super exciting things!
Television content already coming your way, a special app, you name it.
So, For the three years I've been doing this, there's a question that we refer to again and again and again.
The left, yeah, they're a threat to America, truly a threat.
But are they masterminds?
Is there an 80-pound brain among them who's directing it all?
Yes, George Soros has got the money.
Did you see Fox yesterday?
They railed against him and they chose the ugly... I mean, it's not hard, but the ugliest pictures of Emperor Palpatine I've ever seen in one segment.
They're about half a dozen.
Fox, I don't know if you're trying to win back everybody if you've lost the Newsmax.
You're not gonna, by the way, given that yesterday... Who's that pudgy-faced guy who always got wedgied at school?
Cavuto.
Cavuto had who?
He had Adam Kinzinger and then Bret Baier had Liz Cheney on Journey to Six.
That tells you what you need to know about the new leadership at Fox.
Guys, just move the Newsmax right now.
Not because I've got my TV show there, but because it's just better.
Not only that, it's free!
Chris Ruddy is a genius!
The app!
You can watch all Newsmax programming on your phone, on your tablet.
You download the app and it streams for free!
What a genius!
Anyway, stop sidetracking yourself.
That's the third sidetrack in eight minutes.
The question is a very simple one.
Do they have a strategy?
Are they super brains?
The conclusion I came to after listening to Sotomayor today is the following.
Except for a handful of people, who are mostly dead now.
Right?
This is the Sololenskys, the Markuzes, the Adornos.
Those were the, you know, the big thinkers of the New Left, the Frankfurt School, the community organizers like Galinsky who wanted to take down the establishment and destroy America.
Most of them are dead.
What we're left with now is a handful of real believers, you know, the hardcore ideologues, you know, the buddies of Bernardine Dorn and Bill Ayers, people like Who's the head of the Domestic Policy Council in the White House?
Susan Rice.
You've got a handful of real, hardcore, nasty... Oh, like that person they wanted to be the comptroller of the currency, that commie.
The commie who went to Lenin University, got the Lenin Prize, and wanted to privatize, is the comptroller of the currency in America, wanted to nationalize every single checking account in America, so it was run by the Fed.
Crazy ideologues, but it's a handful, you know?
The rest of them, the rest of them, the lumpen of the left are morons, are cretins, like AOC.
Like Sotomayor.
Idiots.
Morons.
And that is why we will win.
But it's going to take one thing.
It's going to take courage.
Because all of them, smart or dumb, are bullies.
And the only way you defeat a bully is you stand up to the bullies!
That's why we are here.
And that's why this show isn't the Sebastian Gorka show.
It's called America First.
And this is the Salem Radio Network.
The Salem

The Salem Radio Network to you.
Mic's on.
Open.
Yeah, he's skyped now.
Hello, Mr. Moore, can you hear us?
Yep, I do.
We hear you, and we have your video.
We are about two minutes out from going back on the air, but just so you know, the mics are live on our Rumble and Facebook streams at this moment.
Great, okay.
Yeah, so we got some time to set up before... Seb stepped out of the studio for a moment.
He'll be back in for a bit, but yeah.
Good.
Minute 45.
I didn't drop off that fast.
Minute 30.
America First, what's your name?
Yeah, we're still here.
Where are you calling from?
Okay, I'm gonna put the camera on so we can see the split-screen view.
Huey Lewis and the News, Linus from the present himself.
It's got to be Friday!
Let's have lots of fun music today, John, because it is not the pre-quent, it is the weekend.
We're going to celebrate.
Dear friends, if you haven't done so already, check out my new community.
It's my new family at Locals.
It's Gawker.Locals.com.
Exclusive content you can't find anywhere else and direct access to me.
Join my family.
You're my family today.
You're my family.
Let's make it even more intimate.
Gorka.
G-O-R-K-A dot locals dot com.
First guest of the day.
Wishing him a Happy New Year.
He is the man who literally wrote the book Trumponomics.
He is, of course, the man who is related to all the ventures in America that have to do with the free market, like the Cloud for Growth.
He's Stephen Moore.
Happy New Year, Stephen.
Hey, Sebastian, great to be with you.
Happy New Year.
Thanks for the nice comments.
I mean, Donald Trump knew what he wanted to do.
You know that.
We just, you know, gave him the frame, you know, put some fine points on it.
But, you know, I have to tell you, every day that goes by, I'll be walking down the street.
People will come up to me and they'll say, you know, sometimes I didn't like some of the things Donald Trump said or some of his antics.
You know, I'm really appreciating what he did for our economy.
I don't know if you've noticed that.
Yeah, I have noticed that.
It's the old thing of style vice performance at the end of the day.
You know, if the pilot is a little bit salty, but he knows how to land a plane.
I'll take it over the guy who went to Harvard but doesn't know the difference between a jet engine and a prop turbo.
So, yeah, let's stick with the guy who actually built things and ran things for 50 years.
He is, of course, President Trump, my old boss, and the person you have advised and written the book about.
Follow this man right now, Stephen Moore, on Twitter.
The book is Trumponomics.
Okay, let's have fun.
Let's have a little cut from the senile old guy in the White House.
This is Sleepy creepy today, Joe Biden cut to.
But this morning, I want to talk about I think it's historic day for our economic recovery.
A historic day in our economic recovery.
Your reaction, Stephen Moore?
Well, it was a disappointing day, that's for sure.
I mean, we keep running behind in terms of where the jobs should be coming in.
And That is that's a big problem.
The biggest problem, though, is that what's happening is that wages rose last year by four and a half percent, which is a really good number, except here's the here's the asterisk.
Inflation went up six and a half percent.
So that means that for most workers, their purchasing power actually declined.
Whereas under Trump, every year, people's purchasing power went up, you know, with very low inflation and a strong economy with wage gains.
I think that explains why it is that 62% of Americans do not approve of the way Biden's ... By the way, if you listen to his press conference today, you'd think 90% of Americans support his economic policies.
Right now, 62% of voters oppose what he's treating, his handling of the economy.
So because people feel it every day.
They go to the grocery store, they go to the gas pump, they have travel plans, and they see the price of things rising and rising.
And so I thought it was a delusional press conference.
I was like, what country is he talking about?
Well, yes, we were expecting 400,000 jobs to be created, and then we get the result it's less than 100,000.
Steve, look, I can't keep track of the trillions swilling about this city.
I can't keep track of all the different Democrat governors doling out cash.
Look, I need you to explain something to me.
Just one question.
I travel the country.
When I talk to people, when I talk to carpenters, when I talk to people who actually build things, who cannot find anybody to work for them, even at decent rates, are people still being paid to stay at home?
Or are people just not interested in getting back to work?
What's happening in America, Steve?
I think there's two factors.
One is that you notice this, that one of the key differences that I've discovered since COVID hit is it's not just about that we disagree on issues, which we certainly do, and ideology.
This is a broad statement, but it's mostly true.
You know, we as free market conservatives, Trump supporters, you know, we soldier on, right?
You know, we get up in the morning.
We don't we don't you know, we don't want to sit on the couch and watch Netflix.
And we don't we take risks.
The left right now when it comes to COVID and it's been this way for two years, it's been like huddled in the corner in the fetal position.
And so there are a lot of people who are just afraid, afraid, afraid, afraid, even though this latest COVID, you know, the Omicron looks like it's basically just a flu.
I had my two kids got it and they were sick for three or four days and they're back in action.
But that's part of it, is that we can't get liberals back.
You saw that with the Chicago teachers.
You know, 91%, 91% of them said they didn't want to teach.
Now, the other factor is, yes, we are paying people not to work.
We're paying people more food stamp benefits.
We're giving them rental assistance.
We're giving them cash payments for their kids.
We're giving them, you know, this, that, everything's free.
And that's adding up to as much money as a lot of workers would make for working.
And that is unfair to the people who are working.
But it's also keeping millions of people out of the workforce.
So here's the big question for you, Steve.
If you look at the historic precedents, when does this end?
What does it take?
You know, when you saw the malaise of Carter, do you really have to wait for a presidential election to turn it around?
In the meantime, are we just going to see a continued bifurcation of the American economy as Florida soars and gets back to work, as Texas never stopped?
So are we just doomed to wait until the midterms and then 2024?
That's a really good question.
I lived through, for example, the Clinton years.
The first two years Bill Clinton was president, you may recall, were a total disaster.
I mean, he governed as like the way Joe Biden does.
And then after he got spanked big time by the voters, I think they're hostages to their ideology and there's no way, even if their life depended on it, they'd be able to say, no, big government is bad.
Exactly.
And so but my point and by the way, and the economy did very well.
We have Newt Gingrich, a speaker.
And I don't think Biden I don't know about you, Sebastian.
I don't think Biden and the left are capable of that.
No, I think I think I think they're hostages to their ideology.
There's no way even if their life depended on it, they'd be able to say no.
Big government is bad.
They can't do it, Steve.
And how about, you know, have you been following the latest statements by Biden?
This is a president who ran for president saying, oh, my God, there have been 250,000 deaths from COVID.
Anyone who's responsible for 250,000 deaths should never be president of the United States.
Of course, we have over 300,000 now under Biden, but he's changing his tune every every few weeks.
It's a different message.
And now he's saying, well, you know, we're just going to have to live with COVID.
He said he would crush it.
Let's just listen to what he said today.
This is Biden, cut one.
And that's 11 million tests a day.
In addition to that, we're in the process of 4500,000 new tests.
He said he would crush it.
Let's just listen to what he said today.
This is Biden cut one.
And that's 11 million tests a day.
In addition to that, we're in the process of working 500,000 new tests.
And so we're going to be able to control this.
Is it 11 million?
Is it 500,000?
And then somebody, please translate this for me.
This is cut three.
Well, Grinch did not steal Christmas.
Nor any votes.
The Grinch didn't steal Christmas nor any votes.
I give up!
I give up!
Listen to this man, Stephen Moore, at Stephen Moore.
The book is Trumponomics.
We've got to get him back in studio.
Let's do a one-on-one for an hour because we can't wait until the midterms.
We can't wait until Donald Trump is back in the White House.
We've got to chart the waters through those dangerous shoals today to get ready for, I don't know, maybe there's a phrase I'm looking for, A new contract with America?
This is America First on the Salem Radio Network.
Happy New Year, Stephen.
Back with your calls after these messages.
Mic's on.
Can you play me cut 4, crazy man?
Cut 4, crazy man.
Mic's on.
Can you play me cut four, crazy man?
Cut four, crazy man.
Crazy man.
Page three of the least.
I know, how do you figure that out?
He's surprised.
He's a financial guy.
Yeah, he knows the markets.
Crazy Craven.
reported they've been unable to work because their employer closed or lost business to the pandemic.
He's a genius, isn't he?
I know.
How do you feel that out now?
He's surprised.
And he's a financial guy.
Yeah, he knows the markets.
Crazy Craven.
Six.
I want to ask you about what the vice chair of that committee, Representative Liz Cheney, one of the only Republicans seeking to hold the former president accountable, said she's...
She said former President Trump, quote, summoned this mob, assembled the mob, and lit the flame of this attack.
Is she right?
Yes.
And again, these are moments where we must speak truth, and I applaud her courage.
Blimey.
I'm going to use some of the Democrat violence cuts from yesterday.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Johnny Depp, all that classic.
I forgot about that one.
I'm so glad they could speak courage like that.
They're so brave.
Titles!
I didn't know lying was courage.
Steve Moore.
Can we wait until 2024?
What was he talking about with the Grinch didn't steal Christmas?
And it wasn't even in context of everything else around it either.
It's a brain fart.
It's a senile guy's brain fart.
That's all it is.
Monologue and the pre-record.
Yeah, monologue.
There is no Democrat master plan.
and pre-record.
Should we talk about the justice system or what else?
January 6th, still pretty... Kamala's comments are a disgrace.
Kamala's January 6th comments?
No, just comments.
Just comments, okay.
Oh, can you play me Cut 11?
Cut 11 today.
It's the one-year anniversary of January 6th, or as they see it, Pearl Harbor meets 9-11 with a Watergate shooter.
Yeah, it's worse than the worst thing ever.
And of course, you know, they're the heroes.
So why commemorate it if it's so bad?
Well first, it's easy.
It's just one day, right?
I mean, try commemorating the riots after George Floyd or Jacob Blake or the burning down of various cities.
And don't forget the violent melees after Trump won in 2016.
You'd have to hold a commemoration every single day.
Okay, come in with that.
Then, um, I'm gonna tee up the cuts from yesterday, and then I'm gonna go to calls.
Alright, coming in with 11 today.
That's a perfect segue.
that gut felt thing is a perfect
segue from yesterday's you you you you you you you
you portions of america first are brought to you in part by Stand with Israel tour.
It's the one year anniversary of January 6th, or as they see it, Pearl Harbor meets 9-11 with a Watergate shooter.
Yeah, it's worse than the worst thing ever.
And of course, you know, they're the heroes.
So why commemorate it if it's so bad?
Well first, it's easy.
It's just one day, right?
I mean, try commemorating the riots after George Floyd or Jacob Blake or the burning down of various cities.
And don't forget the violent melees after Trump won in 2016.
You'd have to hold a commemoration every single day.
Is he still crushing it?
I think he's still crushing it, my good friend Greg Gutfeld.
He's absolutely right.
How could you commemorate months and months of violence that was okayed by the left with Vice President, future Vice President Kamala Harris, even raising funds to bail the arsonists?
Well, we're not going to remember January the 6th except for the murder of Ashley Babbitt.
Instead, we're going to give you a reminder of what happened for the months prior to that couple of hours of hooliganism.
Here's a little montage from Fox as a reminder.
Cut 11.
Freedom!
Freedom! Freedom!
That's not Trump supporters.
That, of course, is a group of left-wing BLM or Antifa supporters.
Then we have the classic Al Ivelchi cut that will go down in history as proof of just how fake the fake news media are.
Cut 15.
I want to be clear in how I characterize this.
This is mostly a protest.
It is not, generally speaking, unruly.
But fires have been started.
Fights have been started, like the huge one behind me.
It's mostly not unruly.
It's mostly peaceful, as a building is burning to the ground behind me.
And what did the celebrities say?
What did the elite say?
What did the media say?
Just a reminder, from the day I started work in the White House, from the Women's March, Madonna had this to say about the man elected president.
Cut 13.
I'm angry.
Yes!
I am outraged.
Yes!
I have thought an awful lot about blowing up the White House.
Not insurrection.
No, that's just, um, entertainment, I guess.
And it's not just blowing up the building.
It's killing the president as well.
That is what the elite fantasizes about.
Who could forget Johnny Depp from 2017?
There's gonna be a new president.
I'd like that you're all a part of it.
When was the last time an actor assassinated a president?
Well, actually, it was a Democrat.
Yeah.
Called Booth.
Who killed a Republican.
The Great Emancipator.
Lincoln.
That's when it happened, you scumbag.
Let's go to your calls.
The number is 833-33-GORKA.
That's 833-334-6752.
John, who was dialing as soon as we came on air.
Thank you for your patience.
Happy Friday.
Happy Friday to you, Dr. G. And stipulate a continuing Happy New Year, because this is the year we fight back.
Oh, yes.
You know, what I wanted to say, it was just after watching this horrible dog and pony show with that senile, doddering, drooling idiot that occupies the White House.
It really offended me, because they keep talking about the big lie, but theirs are the biggest lies of all, Dr. G. If we go down the line, issue by issue, There was a riot.
It shouldn't have happened.
It was worse than a crime.
It was stupid.
It gave them a propaganda victory.
But what about the whole summer of riots, burning, looting, killing, that Antifa and BLM did, that they all defend?
I asked them point blank, how do you defend that and condemn this?
And they're like, they can't answer.
Hang on, hang on.
Who are you doing this to, Don?
I'm curious.
Who are you asking to defend it?
Oh, you know, co-workers, you know, people I know... Good for you!
Does anybody have an answer to you that's not laughable, Don?
No.
No, none of them have.
They haven't even thought about it.
Because all they do is they watch, they get doused in this constant propaganda.
They live in an echo chamber with their head up their tailpipe inhaling their own fumes.
And that's basically it.
They've never heard the other side.
You know, they've got a big fire hose.
We've got a garden hose.
We have to at least get a good power washer.
You know, and like your show is very laser focused.
It's like a power washer washing away a lot of this garbage.
You have inspired with me.
We may have to come up with a product with their heads up their own tailpipe inhaling their own fumes.
Just for that alone.
I haven't done this yet.
It's our latest product.
It is the Let's Go Brandon flag.
Let's get one for Don.
The newest product on our website.
He deserves it just for that fabulous phrase.
If you want one, go to SebGorkerStore.com, but don't get one for free.
The Let's Go Brandon 3x5 flag.
God bless you.

You know, there's a couple people walking their dogs...
Not the ones setting the fires.
How the guy did that?
Oh, let me hear Hexeth.
Let me hear Cutter.
They talk in religious terms about January 6th, because what they believe was attacked was their cathedral, which is government.
They worship government as if it is their god.
And when that is targeted as something people are unsatisfied with, they feel the most under threat.
See, they're not worried when someone's business or neighborhood or community is under threat, when their livelihood is under threat.
And they're not worried about equal justice.
You see, that's what's so frustrating about so many people.
This is a vigil for what they believe is the altar of their power.
And that's why they... Who are they praying to?
The gods of climate change?
Themselves?
The Democrat Party?
Nancy Pelosi?
I don't know.
That's good.
Alright.
That's good.
We've got Israel in relief here.
Israel in relief.
I love that other clip where he summoned the hordes of people there.
It sounds like she's talking about undead.
The waking dead.
Mobs.
Summoned to the capital.
Sitting up on a hill with a scepter.
YouTube movies added again.
All three of Clint Eastwood's Dollars movies are now available for free.
Oh yeah?
I've seen Good, Bad, the Ugly, but I haven't seen the other two, so I'm definitely gonna be watching those this weekend.
Making sense out of today's news, here's Dr. Sebastian Gorka.
I never told you my latest post office story, did I?
I teased it yesterday or the day before, but I can't forget it because every day I am creaking.
I am groaning.
I felt like I was in the ring doing boxing.
Why?
It's not because I'm getting old, but I went to the post office when the snow hit, and I was leaving after doing my business, sending a package to a good friend, a box of cigars.
That's, you know, a little treat for post-Christmas January days.
And I came out, and one of the little Vietnamese ladies I love the ladies at the post office.
We're shoveling the snow off the sidewalk in the post office car park.
And I just stared.
This tiny, tiny woman.
Tiny woman.
I think she must be 60.
And I just...
What kind of puzzle?
I mean, there are men all over this place.
There's the mail carriers, there's the truck drivers, there's the saunas.
And this little old Vietnamese woman is shoveling the snow.
And I was kind of gobsmacked.
I didn't know whether this was a test or something.
And she said, where are the men?
Which is exactly what I was thinking.
She said, this should be a man.
I said, you're right.
Give me the shovel.
So there, instead of getting back in my car, I thought, I hesitated for a bit because I thought, you know, you know some cretin, you know, OSHA is going to say, Gawker doesn't work for the post office.
He's not allowed to pick up the shovel because I'm on post office territory.
Don't you dare do something.
I said screw it.
I'm not gonna let this woman shovel the snow and so for the next 20 minutes there I am clearing the sidewalk inside the car park of the post office having not done any stretching any exercising you know it's like that twisting you know in your rib cage you feel it the next day so That's what my next book is gonna be about.
It's decided.
Masculinity.
Where are the real men?
Really?
You're a male worker at the post office and you're gonna let a frail woman do the snow shoveling?
Disgusting.
Don't give in to the crazies and get away from it all.

It's Friday.
It's Second Amendment Friday.
It's Ask Dr. G Anything.
Let's go to Al in California.
Hello?
Hey!
Hey, Sebastian.
Happy New Year.
I've got two questions for you.
See if I can hit them quickly.
Did you actually screen test to be the next Bond villain?
Everybody wants me to, and I am prepared to do so, but I cannot confirm or deny those reports, I'm afraid, Al.
Okay, here's a second one, which is more important.
Gavin Newsom's got another B in his Bond, and I'm sure you've heard about this.
He wants the, uh, if someone's a victim of a gun crime, rather than holding the perpetrator responsible, which is all you can morally do, he wants the victim to be able to sue the gun manufacturer.
Oh, that's a classic.
Have you heard about that one?
That's an old saw.
The left have been trying to do that for years and years and years.
It's the same idea that...
You know, if there's a car crash, if there's a criminal, if somebody gets drunk and kills somebody with their car, you don't get to sue Ford.
It's insanity.
But of course, it's good for the criminals.
Thank you, Al.
Happy Friday.
Let's go to Bill Sacramento, line three.
Bill, you're up.
Bill, now's a good time to talk.
Let's go to Rick Cleveland!
Hey, how you doing?
Good.
Hello.
Hey, by the way, I am a relief factor kind of guy.
Well, we love to hear that.
How long have you been taking relief factor?
About four years and I'm 64 and I feel like I'm 15 years younger and my wife appreciates it.
My wife of 30 years.
Well, we love to hear that.
I think that's more information than we may need, but we are very, very glad to hear it.
Rick, what brings you to our show today?
You mentioned about maybe a new slogan or phrase or catchphrase about an hour ago.
Well, I have a thought with the Republican Party, which is simply this.
You ready?
Yeah.
Wake up, America.
I think that's a good... You know any?
Go ahead.
Yeah.
Well, you can develop all sorts of substantive themes and talking points around it.
Because where we are heading is Alex Huxley's Brave New World, and worse yet, maybe Brandon's New World.
Yeah, this is a very interesting question.
Everybody is familiar or the educated people are familiar with George Orwell in 1984.
But we're not in 1984 territory, apart from the censorship and the memory holing of things that are not politically correct.
But in terms of dystopian futures, we're far more, far more, thank you, Rick, in the field of Aldous Huxley's Brave New World.
Why?
Because if you read that, It's not totalitarian oppression that's the key.
It is a population that has been drugged, has been indoctrinated into a hedonistic lifestyle where everything is meaningless.
The only thing that matters is your personal pleasure.
So, you know, whether it's sitting at home or with Netflix, whether it's the mindless pablum of the mainstream media, we are, I think, far, far closer to that.
Thank you, Rick.
Antoinette!
It's Friday!
Welcome!
Well, thank you, Dr. G. And I have to say, the America First men and listeners, all of you guys, you are the real men.
That's very kind.
We try, we try.
Tell us about what's going on in your part of the world.
Well, yesterday, January the crazy 6th, unfortunately at the Santa Ana Planned Parenthood, there was a lot of negativity.
Oh my God!
People were stopping and yelling at us.
It was a crazy day yesterday.
But what we ended up doing, half of us, we went down in the evening to the FBI building and honored all of you, like yourself, being subpoenaed and honoring the political prisoners that the FBI has done.
So there was a nice group last night.
So we said prayers and we held a nice vigil last night, a peaceful vigil last night in front of the FBI building.
And then number three, I love your idea on locals.
I'm part of your locals group, and the fact that you're going to give two podcasts, one on the Bible... Hang on, don't give away my secrets, Antoinette, that I announced to my locals family.
I will declare it myself, but thank you for reminding me.
God bless you for being brave enough to go to the FBI.
You also deserve a Let's Go Brandon flag, our newest product.
But I think I have to announce those two podcasts officially that we're adding to our library, but Antoinette has reminded me, and thank you for doing so.
But right now, it's for my local subscribers.

www.fema.org Late 70s at the youngest, and he goes and starts sort of rushing up towards me as I'm opening the door.
It's swinging outward, and he sort of slides over to the side.
I said, what is this man doing?
He's sort of making these weird jerky movements, and he stands with me next to the door and says, ladies first, and waits for the woman who had just got out of her car behind him.
So the first lady comes out, the next lady comes in, and I go to perform, and he waited for this woman who was Nowhere near the door while I'm sitting there because I think he assumed I was gonna I was gonna stop holding the door once he had gone through so he just sort of like jerked around to try to get there but the fact that he waited and said ladies first was great.
Was he fully masked?
Uh I believe so but you know if you're like 80 or something.
Right.
I just blows my mind how, you know, all the male workers of that post office just kind of let this little old woman shovel the snow.
That's crazy.
All right, we got 30 seconds and we're doing merch and podcast here.

Gotta ask you, do you believe Ted Cruz's apology?
I don't, but let's let you decide.
This is him groveling on Tucker yesterday.
Ted Cruz on Fox News.
Cut it.
And yet you called this a terror attack when by no definition was it a terror attack.
That's a lie.
You told that lie on purpose and I'm wondering why you did.
Well, Tucker, thank you for having me on when you aired your episode last night.
I sent you a text shortly thereafter and said, listen, I'd like to go on because the way I phrased things yesterday, it was sloppy and it was frankly dumb.
I don't buy that.
Whoa, whoa, whoa.
I don't buy that.
Look, I've known you a long time since before you went to the Senate.
You're a Supreme Court contender.
You take words as seriously as any man who's ever served in the Senate.
And every word you repeated that phrase, I do not believe that you use that accidentally.
I just don't.
So, Tucker, as a result of my sloppy phrasing, it's caused a lot of people to misunderstand what I meant.
Let me tell you what I meant to say.
What I was referring to are the limited number of people who engaged in violent attacks against police officers.
I think you and I both agree that if you assault a police officer you should go to jail.
That's who I was talking about and the reason the phrasing was sloppy is I have talked dozens if not hundreds of times.
I've drawn a distinction.
I wasn't saying that the thousands of peaceful protesters supporting Donald Trump are somehow terrorists.
I wasn't saying the millions Of patriots across the country supporting President Trump are terrorists, and that's what a lot of people have misunderstood that comment.
Wait a second, but even, wait a minute, hold on.
What you just said doesn't make sense.
So if somebody assaults a cop, he should be charged and go to jail?
I couldn't agree more.
We have said that for years.
But that person's still not a terrorist.
How many people have been charged with terrorism on January 6th?
Like, why'd you use that word?
You're playing into the other side's characterization that, as Joe Kent just explained, allows them to define an entire population as foreign combatants.
And you know that.
So why'd you do it?
So Tucker, let me answer you directly.
The reason I use that word, for a decade, I have referred to people who violently assault police officers as terrorists.
I've done so over and over and over again.
All right, guys.
I don't bite, but I'm a fair man.
I'm going to do a poll of the massive team here.
It may take hours to get everybody's answer.
Eric Trump.
Eric, do you... Eric Trump.
That's a little Freudian.
Eric, do you believe Ted Cruz?
Not for a second.
Ooh, there's a shocker there.
John Jr.?
Not at all.
Not at all.
Those two have said not at all.
I think we know what Mr. G's gonna say.
He's gonna like it as much as he likes snow.
Do you believe Ted Cruz, Mr. G?
Mr. Conservative Outsider hasn't been one since he lost to Trump.
Nice answer.
That's why this is America First.
Next, the Baron!

...hear these so often that it sounds like they're pre-recorded and you're not saying them.
It doesn't sound like you're right here.
Are you saying it doesn't sound genuine and heartfelt?
No, I'm saying it's so professional it's astounding.
It said busy the first time and now it just won't stop ringing.
On Boris?
Yeah, for Boris.
May have to be phone.
Did you speak Russian? - What's your question?
I started learning Russian last year.
I've taken a bit of a break, but I do know a bit of Russian.
Do you know something that we don't know?
Is that why you're learning it?
Yes.
You're getting ready for flash?
For the next interaction.
Why Russian?
Uh, I, uh, Israeli caliphate fascinates me.
Oh, interesting.
I just thought it would be funny.
How about the, uh, cuneiform?
Cuneiform?
I... They confuse me too much.
That's a funky one.
Yeah.
Alright, I'm just gonna call him on the phone, then.
Yeah.

All right.
We've got to check in with our good buddy, my former White House colleague, former strategic advisor to the Trump 2020 campaign.
He is, of course, the baron.
Boris Epstein, welcome back to America First.
Here I am in my baronial wave.
Where's the cigar?
I know it's Sabbath, but are you allowed to?
I'm allowed, I'm allowed.
I'm in Arizona, so it's a couple hours back.
But I've already got a plan.
Have you picked out a cigar?
Is it going to be a Trinidad?
What is it going to be?
You know what?
This is the beauty of friendship.
That is why it's so wonderful to have a good friend.
It is absolutely, my dear friend, going to be a Trinidad.
I'm going to test you.
I'm going to test you.
You've got a 50% chance.
What am I going to smoke tonight?
Oliva.
Ah, you got it, dude!
Nicely done!
Oliva Reserve.
Okay, got a high five across the TV screens, across the Skype.
Well done, dude.
All right, we haven't rehearsed any of the topics for today.
Sometimes we give you homework to do to, you know, tell us what's happening across the nation, especially with the, you know, the audits and everything else.
But I just want to just, you know, hit you between the eyes.
I've got to ask you first, first things first.
Cruz, Ted Cruz, what the hell's going on?
For those of you who were just listening or watching, we had like a Roger Moore-esque rise of the eyebrow there from the Baron.
Here's what I don't understand, okay?
Who is he trying to please?
Because I know it's not the people of Texas by calling January 6th a terrorist attack.
Come on, explain it to me, Baron.
Here's the problem.
The key thing I always say about American politics, the reason that President Trump was elected in 2016, the reason that President Trump has such a huge following, the way that the MAGA movement is growing, it is all about one word.
And that one word is authenticity.
Yes.
Authenticity.
And if you don't have it, you cannot get it.
So what you can never do is try to be something for everybody.
And that's what Ted Cruz was trying to do.
And he got absolutely shellacked for it.
And then he went on Tucker and tried to apologize for it.
So it's been a really rough 48 hours for the senator from Texas, Ted Cruz.
I don't know how he rebounds from that.
That is a very, very difficult moment.
Because here's what you've got to do.
In life, in politics, in relationships, you've got to pick a lane and you've got to drive the lane.
You can't be swerving everywhere.
Nobody likes the swerver.
And that's what Ted Cruz tried to do here, and it's been a disaster for him.
Yeah, you know Google Alerts that you can set up to report if your name is mentioned?
Of course, I have it.
I told my relatives, don't set it.
You don't want to read what they write about me.
But when you make a comment about Ted Cruz, and your comment turns up in 12 stories today on Google Alerts, you know that Ted's in trouble.
And we played the clip.
He was not.
He was not acquitting himself well, and he was cringing in front of Tucker.
So, uh, Ted, you're done.
As far as I'm concerned, you are done.
You lost it.
The Baron is right.
It's all about authenticity.
And I don't know who you were trying to please, but it wasn't Patriots.
Okay, second question.
We can talk about the... I love this.
This is great.
Quick fire, boom, boom, boom.
Yeah, boom, boom, boom.
Come on, we got cigars to smoke.
I'm in a hurry, man.
The second one is we can talk about the January 6th insanity.
The fact that they had a musical, they had a video song.
We'll play that again because that was unreal.
But here's a question I need to ask because I haven't so far.
Do you have any theories why did this administration Why does Joe Biden need a fake White House studio a block away from the West Wing?
Do you have any theories, Boris?
Well, it's not even a block, right?
It's literally across a driveway.
It's across West Exec.
Right.
As you and I know.
It's right across my parking space.
Yes, parking plaque number six.
Thank you very much.
Getting early, getting the day after the inauguration, get parking placard number six.
But yes, it's literally across the street from the West Wing.
So do you have any theories, Boris?
I don't have a theory, but I have a comparison.
Okay.
When Chernenko was the General Secretary of the Communist Party... Guys, this is a gerontocracy.
For those of you a little younger, these are the 80-year-olds that tried to run the Soviet Union before it collapsed.
But carry on, sorry.
So when Brezhnev and drop-off Chernenko... Chernenko was the last of the geriatrics, then came Gorbachev, then came...
I'm not saying that's what's happening.
I'm not saying that's what's going on.
- But Komenenko did it, he actually was really barely awake for it and he did it out of the hospital and they built a fake office next to his hospital room.
I'm not saying that's what's happening.
I'm not saying that's what's going on, but why in the world would you need to build a fake White House when you're at the White House? - Yeah, the illusion or the ellipsis here is beautiful.
I'm not saying, but you know, Chen Yanko.
Okay, you've led us... I'm not a doctor, okay?
I'm not a doctor.
But I played one on TV, yes.
I don't have an M.T., but sometimes I play one in my own house, and I'll tell you, there's no... Steve Bannon and I say there's no conspiracies, but there's no coincidences.
It's only that a coincidence that the guy's got a mock Oval Office next to his own house, next to his own Oval Office.
There are no conspiracies and there is a grand design and a grand design.
Okay, we've trod on to that area, that territory.
Let's talk about what happened yesterday.
We got a cut yesterday that is perhaps the most outside of Kamala's, it's 9-11 plus Pearl Harbor, disgusting comments.
This is from Sleepy Creepy himself, where he's screaming about the elections last year.
And I just got to play it for you.
This is cut three, Sleepy Joe.
He's not just a former president.
He's a defeated former president.
Defeated by a margin of over 7 million of your votes in a full and free and fair election.
There is simply zero proof the election results were inaccurate.
Did you get that, Baron?
Zero proof!
Somebody's really upset.
He was slurring a lot yesterday.
I mean really.
Almost every other sentence was a slur.
But why did he get angry yesterday?
So here's my question to you.
Who is he winning over?
Jeff has a theory that yesterday was just about appealing to the base because he's about to lose them as well.
Who do you think yesterday was for Baron?
He's not winning over anybody.
He's a total defeated He's a feckless, pathetic, weak person.
And he knows that the election was illegitimate.
He knows it was stolen, even though he doesn't know what year it is.
He thinks it's 2020 or 1983.
He knows it was stolen.
That's why he got so angry about it.
He tried, even in his own mind, what's left of it.
He said, maybe if I yell this, people will believe it to be true.
But no, over 50% of Americans believe that the 2020 election was not legitimate, believe that it was stolen.
And Joe Biden has no legitimacy.
He's under 30% right track, wrong track in this country.
He's an absolutely finished, finished occupant of the Oval Office.
Yeah, the question is, when do the Democrats get rid of him?
Because this isn't going to win any new votes in the world.
It's a truism.
But their option is even worse.
I know, I know.
So do they replace her?
Do they replace her?
I don't know.
In the meantime, get your information from those you trust.

Alrighty.
Bye-bye.
Um, is it a newspaper interview?
I just sent you the newspaper.
Good, because I need the screenshot.
This is crazy.
But think about it, Beckton.
They were all worried about donors.
Remember, nobody was ever going to donate to the Republican Party.
They played both sides.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Politicians.
Doctor?
Doctor?
Colonel?
Good find, Jeff.
Good find.
Yeah.
He said Rogan just posted the video of CNN making him with a filter look more sickly than his actual video.
No!
Can you send that to me?
Yeah, I'll send it over to you.
They've done that before, haven't they?
Yeah, yeah, he just posted it and everyone's going crazy over it.
It's been a while, buddy.
Yeah, it's been good.
And I'm out the next two weeks.
In theory, we're going to the Maldives.
We're in the Maldives, however they're pronounced.
I should connect you with one of my smartest students ever at NDU, became Chief of Staff of the Army there.
Are you serious?
Oh yeah.
Before, before, they named him, then the Islamist government came in and they fired him.
So he had to go live in India, run his brother's hotel, and now he's back.
In the Maldives?
Yeah.
Oh really?
Yeah, yeah.
Happy to connect you.
Super guy.
I'm just going on vacation.
Have you been before?
You've got to tell us.
Katie wants to check it out.
As long as I don't become COVID positive before 7.45 on Wednesday morning, that's all I care about in the universe.
Me and my lovely wife.
So how long is that flight?
How do you go?
You go to Istanbul, Dubai or guitar.
And then you fly to the capital.
Then you take a seaplane or a boat to your island.
How did you pick Maldives?
So a year ago, well, I always take my wife away for her birthday.
And so a year ago, we were just like total cabin fever.
And I just went, because I have a timeshare, and they have a directory.
So I just went to the directory and started looking for...
Oh, and they had a place in the Maldives?
And I thought, oh my god, this is awesome, and I go, a year from now, of course, everything will be fine, right?
Very cool.
Yeah, so I booked this trip over a year ago, so... One minute.
Because you know, first of all, I mean, just the mechanics of the whole thing, right?
You got to get your COVID test, get synchronized, then you got to get there, then you got to synchronize with getting to the seaplane, I think is the coolest way of travel.
Yeah.
And it's, it's, it's ridiculous, you know, because it's the 82 time zones and everything else that I'm not really very good at.
Hopefully I got all the logistics worked out.
We'll, we'll find out soon.
For an artillery guy, you should be good at logistics and math.
No, yeah.
Trajectories, payloads.
Sadly not, yeah.
I was only out of safe once, and luckily I didn't kill anybody.
My crew survived.
I'm going to use cut five from you.
Thank you.

Nobody.
We had one very prestigious regular guest ask us, how much would you be paying me?
And I said, nothing, because that's radio.
But I'm sorry.

He's the vice president for all matters, national security and foreign policy.
He's got a good sense of humor as well and tells a mean story, as well as a great taste in movies.
Follow him at JJ Carafano.
I'm going to talk about what you said we should talk about in the second segment.
But first, we've known each other a long time.
When I was living still in Europe, I think we met each other.
And then we became kind of quasi-colleagues when I started teaching for the DoD at National Defense University.
And you were like an adjunct.
I mean, you were at Heritage, but you'd come in the evening classes, the night classes.
You'd teach Homeland Security.
You wrote the book that we used on my program on Homeland Security.
We don't do politics when you're here because you're from the Heritage Foundation, but I have to get your technical response to this super short soundbite yesterday from the current incumbent of the White House's Cut Five, Play Cut.
This wasn't a group of tourists.
This was an armed insurrection.
They weren't looking to uphold the will of the people.
They were looking to deny the will of the people.
They were looking to uphold a free and fair election.
They were looking to overturn one.
When you do policy, doesn't matter whether it's health policy or national security policy, words matter.
So, you know, what terrorism means has to be defined.
Your reaction to the current commander-in-chief saying insurrection is what occurred on January the 6th?
I thought January 6th will go down in history as the day truth took a day off.
There were so many lies history.
And you have to remember, and of course, I'm a historian, so I always get really interesting things.
When do we ever have a president of the United States go before a session of Congress and only make a partisan political speech that had nothing to do with the office of the presidency, nothing to do with policy, but essentially only go to demonize his political but essentially only go to demonize his political opponents?
I I'm really gobsmacked.
And the thing is, here's the great... I mean, this is my read on yesterday.
This thing completely fell flat.
Look, I'm too close to it, I think, because I was in the Trump administration.
I'm an avowed conservative, got my radio show, my TV show.
But this is exactly what I said yesterday, once we came in, once the memorialization had ended.
It was a damn squib.
I don't think it had the effect they wanted.
Well, here's, I think, the major mistake they made, among many mistakes that this president made.
They directly tied this to their uber desperate attempt to push through this voting bill, which essentially would allow them to take over the conduct of national elections to make sure they never lose an election ever again.
And so to stand in front of the American people and to be talking about the defense of democracy, when you stage the entire event to push through a bill which destroys democracy, I think Americans get the hypocrisy of that.
So I, look, you know, and then when Kamala Harris said, you know, speaking of history.
Stop, stop, stop right there.
You're stealing my thunder.
Oh, go ahead.
Doctor, Colonel, stop it right now.
So this is a cut to from yesterday.
Eric, play cut.
Or not.
No, yesterday, yesterday.
Cut to Kamala Harris.
Dates that occupy not only a place on our calendars, But a place in our collective memory.
December 7, 1941.
September 11, 2001.
1941, September 11th, 2001, and January 6th, 2021.
Now, not only are you a historian by training with a PhD, you're a West pointer, you've served in the army for decades.
You've known people, you know, who've served with honor, bled and died for this country.
9/11 Pearl Harbor January 6th I was furiously tweeting out pictures yesterday of the Arizona going down and the Twin Towers collapsing saying not January 6th and then I tweeted some really poignant pictures of Afghanistan and our last days including one of the women who was killed the day before she was killed huddling a baby in her arms The Marine.
And the picture of the coffins of the 13 Americans that came back.
And I tweeted out my tweet was also not January 6.
So for them to be talking about sacrifice and equating that to their political effort to demonize people and push through a bill to destroy democracy, I don't know how Americans react to that.
When you want to talk, and he said people should take responsibility.
When is, he still has not taken responsibility for the way he left Afghanistan, Not just 13 Americans, but a country destroyed.
Today, in that country, over a million people will likely starve to death this winter.
That's never happened in 20 years of your endless war.
That's because of the way Joe Biden left.
On the day that he stood and talked about accountability, The Taliban actually put out a statement saying threatening the United States with terrorist attacks.
Yes.
So this this president has has no.
And this is January 6th was like a bad staged high school play in which the only people that clapped were the parents of the actors and the teacher.
Oh, all the bad actors.
Right, so literally the media and the president's cronies and the people who'd have not only drunk the Kool-Aid but mixed it for Biden.
Other than that, I think the rest of America either wasn't paying attention, Or they actually saw the hypocrisy of this moment, and here's why you can really tell.
When they talk about moments seared in history, and I know you know the answer to this, and I know every single living person that is listening to this radio show, knows the answer to this, and of course it depends on the calendar, but if I ask you where you were on the day Kennedy was shot, everyone will tell you.
If I ask where you were on the day the Twin Towers went down, everyone will tell you.
If I ask you where were the day that you looked up on television and saw the Challenger explode, everyone will tell you.
And when I ask most of it, when I ask, I even ask people who work with me, I said, where were you on January 6th?
And most of us were like, I don't know, you know?
So the notion that somehow that this is a great assault on democracy.
And remember, this is a woman who bailed out people who attacked federal officers and she has the audacity to stand in the Capitol and talk about justice?
Guys, if you don't believe Jim, you've got to go to my Instagram feed.
I've got her tweet, Kamala Harris' tweet, right there, where she said, you've got to help the Freedom Fund to bail out the arsonists.
Back with Jim after these messages.
Back with Jim after these messages.
you I was thinking this morning, how did the left not do it?
I mean, Nick seriously did it.
Well, didn't ABC News, like, the day after... That doesn't count.
Well, no, but they made a full-fledged documentary the day after it happened.
No, I'm not talking about a documentary, a movie.
A movie, yeah.
They can't make such a... just a BS movie.
So, um... Because nobody wants to spend $100 million to have a movie that 12 people go see.
What was I going to say?
Oh yeah.
So, because this is the thing that always, you know, kind of intrigues me and you never know the answer.
Do you think she believes it?
When they say stuff like that.
Do you think she's just reading a cynical script?
Well, she just read a script there.
No, but do you think she believes it?
Do you think that when AOC says, we played the cut, almost half of Congress was killed that day.
What's going on there?
I mean, you've been in the swamp long enough.
No, I think they rationalize it.
That the law is for the greater good.
Right.
So I think that's true.
So they're justified because of the objective.
Right.
Yeah.
Because I know I'm lying, but I'm lying for the greater good.
Therefore, it's not really a lie.
Yeah.
I think that's right.
Because you can't believe what you're saying.
I mean, you just can't do that.
I mean, yeah.
I mean, there are probably wacky, kooky people that believe that.
But I, look, I mean, I just think they've jumped the shark.
I think AOC's 15 minutes are up.
I thought she, uh, that, that was the, that New Year's week with the pictures in Florida and her... Oh, you think she's done?
She's, well, when you make a caricature of yourself... Yeah, and when you say, because you want to date me, it's like, you're not serious.
Yeah, it's, it's just super hard to recover.
I, I, You responded to that, didn't you?
I saw a tweet from you with that.
I don't want to date you.
What did you put?
I still don't want to date you.
I've got this picture of me standing next to the Ronald McDonald thing.
Oh, the Ronald McDonald thing!
Yeah, and it's a picture of Ronald McDonald saying, you just want to date me.
I'm still waiting on the cease and desist order from the Ronald McDonald program.
That's like an evergreen for you.
That image, I see that every few months.
I've used that picture so much.
At some point, people are going to realize how much older I am now because that picture is so old.
But, you know, well, I think they've jumped the shark, everything.
I think they've so oversold themselves that they've just destroyed their credibility.
Or maybe my Twitter feed is just kind of crazy.
But I just – the feedback.
And what's the thing with Joy Reid?
Did she get fired?
Joy Reid, did she get fired?
She's losing her show, right?
Is that being confirmed or is that still a rumor?
There was an insider guy that says that a Comcast executive told her.
In like May or something?
She's losing it in May or something?
Yeah, in the spring.
Oh, really?
Yeah.
So they're not getting her out?
All I could think of to tweet was it's like being told your cancer's in remission.
Okay.
Alright, so Kazakhstan?
Yeah, yeah.
Alright, Israel and relief here.

We're back with the vice president of the conservative mothership, the Heritage Foundation.
Joining today, Heritage.org.
He is Jim Carrafano.
Jim, I asked you, what should we talk about?
And you said Vanuatu, right?
Yeah.
So Kazakhstan.
Kazakhstan.
Sorry.
So and the reason.
So Kazakhstan's in Central Asia.
It's a stand.
People probably know there's a lot of violence going on right now, and the Russians have actually been brought in to help quell the violence.
And, you know, people say, why do we care?
Well, one is we have no influence in Central Asia because we've abandoned Afghanistan.
But the other is the Russians really care about Kazakhstan.
It's in their sphere of influence.
There's a major Russian ethnic minority in Kazakhstan.
And a lot of my, several people I really trust and listen to, they said, well, you know what?
This has created a bit of a space here because it's unlikely that Putin can do something in Ukraine while he's dealing with this Kazakhstan thing.
So the disruption in Kazakhstan may have given the administration.
So explain why it's so important to Putin and what the nature of the violence is.
So the violence actually stems from a mistake the government made.
They jacked up gas prices and people complained.
So they said, OK, we'll fix you.
They just cut off.
Everybody's gas and the internet.
And then people started rioting.
And then they said, oh, all you guys are terrorists.
And now they're just shooting people who are rioting.
And the police, the president has confirmed he gave a shoot to kill order.
Right.
And the Russians are in.
So it's a bloody mess.
And again, it's actually, the Central Asia is actually an area of competition between China and Russia.
So actually a loss for Russia is actually a gain for China.
So it creates all kinds of problems for Putin and he has to respond to that.
And so people think, well, that may have him, even if he's going to do something in Ukraine, he may have to push that off.
So that gives Biden a bit of a window that he didn't have before.
And China's obviously, they're not going to do anything in Taiwan until after the Olympics.
So there's this window of space where Biden could jump in and do stuff.
If.
If he wasn't Biden.
Yeah.
So, for example, there's a bill that's going to get a vote on Nord Stream 2 to sanction the Russians, which would put a lot more pressure on the Russians.
The administration's against it.
They're against it.
Let's say it's tying your hand.
Are you guys idiots?
If the US Congress passes a bill on Nord Stream 2 that gives you and Berlin Way more pressure on the Russians.
Leverage.
Yeah, come on.
And every one of these bills comes with a thing where the president can, you know, if there's an ad, whatever.
So it's ridiculous for the administration.
They look weak.
So here's the thing, because we get that Biden is the worst president in modern history.
We don't have to go over that.
But why do we care?
And this is a big, you know, we're going to CPAC.
Oh, I hope you're going to be there.
I'm going to be there.
And one of the great things is, how do we explain to people?
Why do we care what goes on in Europe?
Why do we care what goes on?
And the answer is really simple.
It's like, look, let's be honest.
We live in a neighborhood.
And if we want to live at peace, you just cannot do that from the Delaware shore walking your dog.
You've got to be concerned about the world around you because otherwise bad people are going to come after you.
So here's the movie.
I'm waiting.
Belfast.
This is a fantastic movie.
I want to see.
Kenneth Branagh.
Everybody needs to see.
But what it's about is it's about this little street.
It's a time of troubles.
It's about this little street in Belfast.
Everybody's having a good time.
Catholics, Protestants, everything's great.
And then everything goes to hell because these guys move into the neighborhood and they just screw everything up.
And that's the reality of this.
If you just let the Russians and the Chinese run wild, they're going to screw everything in the world up and you're going to be left sitting here locked in your closet.
And let's be clear here, you don't have to be an interventionist.
I'd like to wind the clock back, ooh, a year, two years.
We had four years of a different presidency, where we weren't isolationists, but we said if you're a threat, we'll deal with you.
We'll drop 52 cruise missiles on your head like we did in Syria.
We don't have to invade, but you don't have to isolate, right Jim?
For four years we started zero wars.
Zero.
We made the world, we cowed every major enemy in the world.
And this is this false distinction between we have to run away and hide in our closet or we have to go out and bomb the hell out of everybody.
Look, this pisses me off the most.
And this is why I started working.
Breitbart, this is why I joined the Trump administration, the most powerful nation in the world.
We were sold a bill of goods for more than a decade that either you have to invade people or either you have to isolate.
Sorry, it's a little bit more nuanced than that, right?
Well, it's not even nuanced.
It's you just have to care about what's important to you.
So the people on that street barricaded the street to keep the yahoos out.
In Belfast.
And they did that to protect the Catholics and the Protestants in the neighborhood.
All right.
I wish we could continue because he is on fire!
It's great to have you back in studio, my man.
Good to see you, buddy.
Happy New Year.
You know I'm going to be gone the next two weeks, but OK.
Well, come on.

For that reason, CAR Firearms is teaming up with America First.

This is about more than being gun enthusiasts.
This is a very personal issue as we struggle for the soul of America.

I can reach out to people who I'm impressed with online, who have amazing Instagram feeds and say, excuse me, sir, would you like to come And that's exactly what we've done today, first time ever.
His name is James Williamson, and he goes by Teufelshund Tactical, and he has a very, very good taste in firearms.
Mr. Williamson, welcome to America First.
Thank you.
Thank you for having me.
Glad to be here.
All right.
Well, talk about what you do for a living right now.
Tell our listeners a little bit about your background and what you did for this nation wearing the cloth of the Republic.
Oh, yeah, it was my great pleasure to serve in the Marine Corps for 20 years.
And when I retired, I took my passion for beach and cave firearms and started my own business, where I basically provide Armor services and training dedicated to H&K firearms.
So for those of you who aren't familiar with the Corps, I served two and a half years at Quantico teaching the Marines as a professor.
They are the service closest to my heart.
There is a term for them, not just Leathernecks, but Devil Dogs.
The German for that is Teufelshund.
And your company is Teufelshundtactical.com.
Explain, look.
I'm enamored.
I like anything that goes poppin' is quality.
You know, guns are my passion.
But what is it about Heckler & Koch?
And please, please tell me you don't pronounce it Koch.
Please, please, James.
You did it right.
Okay, thank you.
Thank you.
So H&K or Heckler & Koch, what is it?
For those who aren't familiar with some of the finest weapons in the world, like the P7, what is it about these products?
Yeah, I think you nailed on the head.
It's the finest weapons out there.
I got introduced to them at an early age, and I didn't really understand it at the time.
I guess it would be kind of like, you know, you turn 16 and your dad hands you keys to a Porsche 911.
You would know it was an awesome car, but you wouldn't have anything to compare it against.
And as I got more experienced and introduced to many other firearms, I started to be You know, not satisfied with other things I was seeing, and I learned more and more about the company and the German engineering, the design, all of the exhaustive testing, what they go through to make one model or another, and I got more and more impressed, and that kind of intrigued me to soak up as much knowledge as I as I could.
And over the years, it's kind of put me in a place where I've kind of become a little resident expert here on their firearms.
And they just haven't, you can look across the entire board, they just haven't missed one time.
No, there really isn't a doubt The VP70 is a little top-heavy, but for a machine pistol, it was really revolutionary in its time.
Apart from that, I can't really think of anything that was even marginally questionable.
And is it true?
Because I've been posting some of the photographs of my Recently reacquired P7, which I'd consider to be the finest carry gun for a civilian ever made.
Is it true that under one of the 1980s promotional posters you posted, did I read that Teufel Hund Tactical's EDC everyday carry is a P7?
That is exactly correct.
I got one when I graduated college back in 1997.
It's been my primary carry gun ever since.
Never failed me and it's one of those ones I've got many other weapons that I enjoy and rotate in and train with, but I always go back to the P7.
There's just never been one that's surpassed it in that kind of role for EDC.
And for those who've never experienced it, I highly recommend it.
And those who have, they know the secrets out.
They're highly desirable.
It's a shame they just don't make them anymore.
Guys, John, that's our next video I'm doing about my P7.
It is unique.
It is the only firearm that cocks when you squeeze it.
30 pounds plus pressure.
The safest weapon out there.
Meticulous German engineering.
We got like a minute and a half left.
Follow this man.
Get trained by him.
Educated by him.
Teufelshundtactical.com.
Follow him on Instagram.
The MP5.
I love the MP5.
I think it's the finest SMG ever made.
A lot of people are trying to Downgrade it.
Say it's out of date.
Give us your take on the MP5, James.
No, I completely agree with you as well.
If it comes to a submachine gun, it remains the top of the heap.
It's why you continue to see regular orders from H&K on the weapons.
You know, they tried to kill it off back in the 90s.
It wouldn't be popular.
So I think the people that that try to dismiss it are ones that just don't have experience with it.
There's definitely a role for an AR and for other weapons.
But if you were after a subgun, there's nothing better than the MP5.
You've heard it from a man who served this nation as a devil dogman.
Now he has the Devil Dog Twifels on Tactical.com company.
He is teaching the excellence of Heckler & Koch weapons across the nation.
Check them out.
My favorite is the P7.
The MP5 is now available from numerous clone manufacturers in a semi-automatic version and also H&K is making it.
It's not cheap, but it's worth your while.

Welcome, dear friends, to America First, one-on-one, where we have an opportunity to go a little bit deeper, a lot deeper than the average media content out there.
You know me, three hours of radio every single day, but I'm a massive fan of the long form.
First two hours, we'll give you breaking news, we'll talk about what's happening in the swamp or around the world, but then we want to sit down with somebody to talk about the big issues for a little bit longer than the average TV interview of 180 seconds.
And today we are delighted to have with us a historian who's connected to the news because of a recent event, it's censorship, and we are delighted to be joined by Gadi Tau.
Gadi, welcome to America First one-on-one.
Hi.
Hi.
Thanks for having me, Sebastian.
So I think we've kind of shadowed each other for years.
I've been familiar with you, you've been familiar with me, but you and your team of colleagues at the Heroes of Liberty book series reached out to me recently, maybe a month ago, just before Christmas, to talk about this amazing series of books.
We'll talk about the series, why you guys are doing it, what happened What happened last week to the book series and how Facebook tried to stop you?
Here we've got a couple of the covers, Ronald Reagan, Thomas Sowell, and Amy Coney Barrett.
But it's a whole series of books that we are going to discuss at length.
But first, for those who aren't familiar with who Guddy is, tell us a little bit about who you are, because your Wikipedia entry is, well, to put it mildly, a little bit disturbing, given some of the media organs you've been associated with, including the New York Times.
So prove to us who the real Guddy Taube is.
Well, I've had a shift from the left to the right.
It happened because of Israeli politics.
It was gradual.
The newspaper I work for now is the Israeli parallel of the New York Times.
It's Haaretz.
But I'm the counterpoint there, and I'm surprised every week that they still publish it.
So you're the one sane person at Haaretz?
Yes, something like that.
There's a bunch of us, but they like to attack me more than the others.
Since, you know, I come from the left, I know how to...
How to irritate them.
So I always sparkle a little Tabasco on my writing.
A little bit spicy, good.
Shout extra hard.
All right.
Talk about your professional background, your education, what you did academically, what you focused on.
And then a little bit about your journey of discovery, the Churchillian journey, as Winnie said, he who is not liberal when young has no heart, he who is not conservative when older has no brain.
So talk to us about how you underwent that journey, Gadi.
Well, there are a few strands to this.
My greatest love, I think, is literature.
And it was here.
But in Israel, you can't make a living off that, even if you write bestsellers.
And I've had bestsellers for children, bestsellers for adults.
And then I've also started writing about culture because, like, Andrew Breitbart, we here to realize that politics is downstream from culture and I've always been very political.
So I started looking into what became here the seeds of post-modernism and we called it here post-Zionism, the same Edward Said kind of the hatred of the West, the hatred of Israel, the hatred of Zionism.
They always go together.
And while still being on the left, I wrote a very incendiary book about that, a very angry book about that, but also a book that tried to analyze these phenomenon.
And then I realized— What was that book?
It was called A Dispirited Rebellion.
To my great surprise, it became a bestseller.
And why was it angry?
What was the main critique of The Dispirited Rebellion?
It's the same critique that right-minded conservatives now have of postmodernism in general.
Woke indoctrination in general of social justice warriors, all that package we have adhered to.
And this is a small and very young immigrant society.
So you can imagine that when they attack the melting pot, when they attack the Zionist ethos, they're attacking the basis of our existence here.
Now, my parents come from labor Zionism, but my father lost a hand in the War of Independence, was always a Zionist.
When the right took over in Israel, he was thrown out of his job.
He was the head of the commission that is responsible for regulating the stock market in Israel.
So he was a very high functionary.
So like the FCC?
Yeah, our version of the FCC.
So he was the FCC.
And so he was kicked out.
He refused to go to the private market because he said, I came here to serve the public.
And he headed a public publishing company.
Until he retired at a very old age, and he was a journalist too.
So I grew up in a house that was left-wing in many ways, but always right-minded and Zionist.
So what happened?
Was there, as the left says, a triggering moment?
What made you think that this new left is bad for Israel?
You know, the way I see it, they went crazy, not me.
The whole map shifted.
And this was a turn from what was a rather successful first generation socialist orientation in Israel, which did not become tyrannical and therefore basically began to dissipate.
And we became a free market society gradually.
But the left has gone crazy.
So I found myself In opposition to them.
And I started writing these things.
And you know, when you start messing with these people, they're very violent.
They're vicious.
They are vicious.
Was there an issue that was really crucial to that turn?
Was it national security?
Was it culture?
Can you remember what it was that made you say, OK, these guys are just too crazy?
That happened gradually too, because the craze, while I was still on the left in terms of security, which meant I supported the Oslo agreements and I believed the Palestinians wanted peace and I thought we should give it a try, I think we should have given it a try to learn that it's the wrong path.
They went crazy.
And then gradually, we realized that even the moderate left is holding a map that you can't find your way in the world with.
So it was a very pragmatic thing.
Thomas Sowell was once interviewed by Dave Rubin and he was asked, why did you leave Marxism?
And he had a one-word answer.
Facts.
And so that's what happened to me.
People forget that Thomas Sowell, and it's a kid's book, but read Gaddy's series of books and the one there.
But if you look at the documentaries and the interviews with Thomas Sowell, who is a giant of conservative thought in America today, he was a radical.
I mean, in university he was a radical.
He was a Marxist.
Yeah, even Clarence Thomas, the great Clarence Thomas from the Supreme Court, in his documentary of his life, he admits that he went through that same phase as well.
So, you know, the Churchillian journey is an oft... Yes, indeed, the Thomas Sorbo... This is our Thomas Sorbo.
And the illustrations in that one, your artist is superb, I think you have different artists for different books.
But before we move on to the series of books and what Facebook did to you guys just a week ago, talk to us about, because you're a historian I think by training, and let's talk about taxonomy, because you said it's this post-modernism, you said in your context it's the anti-Zionist.
I'm not sure these are good labels.
What do you think of the new left?
We have to be accurate with who we're talking about.
This isn't Derrida, this isn't Foucault.
This is the next stage of detachment from reality.
What do you think is a good descriptor for these people?
Well, now the moniker woke is very helpful.
I think it captures a lot about their Self-perception.
But what happened to these ideas when they came to America is that their pessimism sank in the Atlantic.
It happens to European ideas often.
You take a pessimist like Freud and it becomes, in America, the sexual revolution.
Let's just let libido run society instead of super ego.
So these ideas came to America and I had a feeling it was all connected to the 60s.
And I'll tell you, I hated the 60s since I was 10 years old because I was in love with a girl when these ideas came.
I was, I think, in fourth grade.
And then came the idea of free love.
And I said, what do you mean?
I'm going to share her with anyone?
Which was a crazy idea because she didn't even see me.
She didn't know I existed.
But already I sensed that there was something wrong with these ideas.
And then when I came to study postmodernism, I realized this was all, you know, the politics of the 60s moved to academia wholesale.
And you can see all the different strands of wokeness have been different strands of the students' movement.
This is the great irony.
I'm not sure this book has been written yet, but somebody has to write it.
The revolutionaries, the rebels of 1968 who railed against the man, well, they became the man.
They became the institutions on both sides of the Atlantic.
They became the tenured professors.
They became the individuals that are running the liberal corporations.
They became the media conglomerates.
So the great irony is that today the counterculture, the cool kids, Our conservatives.
We're talking to Gadi Taube.

Gadi, let's jump to the subject of this series of books, The Heroes of Liberty.
What is the genesis of this series and what is the objective of this series?
And talk to us about some of the titles that have already been published.
If you believe that politics is downstream from culture, you probably also believe, rightly, that adults are downstream from children.
And what is happening with woke indoctrination is that it's starting earlier and earlier.
It's getting crazier and crazier.
And we feel that if we don't fight this fight all over the West, this is an American-based firm, and our team is in New York, in Washington, and partnered with us in Tel Aviv, but we feel it's the same problem everywhere.
So what we felt we would have an advantage with is that the problem with woke indoctrination for children is that it's mind-numbingly didactic and boring.
It's just completely abandoned the idea of storytelling.
So it's banging the kids over the head with "this is the only truth you're allowed to hear", right?
Yeah, and you know this comes with their postmodern philosophy because if you believe that discourse constructs the world, then there's no art, literally.
There is only legislation.
Your art becomes legislative.
So you can't move from indoctrination.
And the result is that it's mind-numbingly boring.
And they're producing a lot of it.
The number of Obama biographies for toddlers there is just staggering.
And then we looked at it, and there's nothing.
For right-minded people who believe in traditional American values, people who believe in liberty, people who believe in individualism, in individual accountability, in the free market, in democracy.
There's just almost nothing out there.
Can I stop you there for a second?
Just remember where we paused for a second, because I want to push back a little bit, because yes, it's clearly very didactic, but isn't there tension in that observation with the fact that the left seems really quite polished in storytelling.
I mean, they're obsessed with the concept of narrative.
And if you if you look at the way they've captured the culture, you can't capture the culture ham fistedly.
Although if you look at Hollywood today, what they're producing is garbage.
So have what were they?
Let me put it this way.
Were they good At telling stories that were untrue and now are lazy?
Is that one way about understanding the left's control?
I think they've become complacent.
I think their creative energies are going into political narratives and when they come to children they don't even treat them as children.
Just think of the way they're trying to give them this bizarre gender fluidity sex education.
Some of the sex education going into first grades in elementary school is completely irrelevant to age.
Not to mention outrageous.
But they've stopped thinking about children as children.
They think of them as little soldiers.
And so they don't feel they need to engage them, inspire them, lift them on the wings of the imagination.
And this is what we set out to do.
And this is why our illustrations are also so striking.
By the way, we couldn't find American illustrators.
Everyone was afraid of cancel culture.
Wow!
Will you just, for those of the viewers who are actually watching us and not the listeners on radio, will you just open up the inside of the Thomas Sowell book you've got there?
Because you sent me so many of these books a couple of weeks ago and I left them at home.
But look, amazing!
It's fun!
I mean, just quality.
That's Thomas Sowell taking a bath in a tub with his sister, you know, as a kid.
That's him at home.
That's a very sad one.
Yeah.
I mean, it's just excellent.
It's just excellent.
Okay, so you decided you need an antidote and you're going to tell good stories with good illustrations in children's books, but with specific... I mean, at Breitbart, I was always told you've got to tell stories about heroes and villains.
So your choice was to tell a series, Heroes of Liberty, correct?
Yeah, exactly.
So we went for the positive, but I'll qualify that with saying that I believe that storytelling in general shouldn't be sugar-coated.
Children have fears, they have problems in their lives, they have things they need to work out.
So partly why Dickens, which probably wouldn't be cancelled today, is so good because he takes a child close to the abyss.
You look into the abyss, but then he holds you so you don't fall.
So the story of Thomas Sowell, for instance, is not an easy story.
No, it's a story of triumph.
And it's just and he's an amazing man.
He's really an amazing man.
So you have this kid who comes from the south and he comes to New York and a bunch of New York teachers are telling him that education in the south is is garbage and they take him down a grade and he refuses.
He refuses.
And he goes to the principal and he says... He demands to go to the principal.
I'm not going... at what age?
What, like age 10?
He said, no, you're not putting me down a grade.
Who do you think you are?
He was nine years old.
Imagine his confidence of this guy.
And so the principal wanted to show him that he couldn't do fourth grade.
So he gave him some math exercises, and he solved them.
He just solved them right there, and he got himself into the right grade.
Or in the case of Reagan, not many people know this story, but he once found his father sleeping, passed out, drunk in the snow, and he saved his life.
And then he went back home.
And you know, Reagan is this positive thinking kind of guy, but we have this scene where he does it.
We show the drawing, it's very touching, that he grabs his passed out father into the house, and then he goes Inside the house and he pulls his blanket over his head and he just wants to forget it.
And the next thing he's composing a poem about how we should look at life positively.
So we didn't only bring the poem about how to see life positively because we wanted the stories to be engaging, to take you in an emotional journey and never ever to just bang ideas at you.
Yeah, I mean, look, this is something that I've been exploring for the last few years and You know, I'm not a...
I'm not a writer in the sense of fiction, but I have written three books and I enjoy reading.
And you just understand that man lives on stories.
We need water, we need oxygen, we need protein, and we need stories.
There's a reason every child wants to be told stories at night.
And those stories aren't sugar-coated.
They're not all about princesses and fairies.
You know, in the fairy tales there are the dragons, there are the witches, there are the evil stepmothers, and so what you're doing is fabulous.
It's at Heroes of Liberty.
It's heroesofliberty.com.
We're going to discuss what happened to this series of books and the other titles that you have in the series.

by Ben Thede Gary, let's talk about how you and your colleagues at the Heroes of Liberty team became articles of news reporting a few days ago.
So you have this series of fabulous books, they're children's books, beautifully illustrated, nothing disgusting in them, nothing pornographic, nothing illegal, unlike the books in the Virginia public schools.
So tell us about what happened to you, your team, your products, when it came to Mark Zuckerberg's giant that is Facebook.
Yeah, we started out trying to strike it independently.
So we're selling our books on our website, heroesofliberty.com, and we didn't want to be dependent on other services.
But Facebook offers a singular opportunity to build a community.
And so we thought, you know, our books are not controversial in any way.
Yes, they are for traditional American values and as we know, American values are being cancelled.
But cancelling Reagan, you know, that didn't cross our minds.
We thought nobody would do that.
And apparently some little tyrant has been sitting there and he thought, like with his pinky, that he would squash us because I guess he didn't like our So what happened to your series of books on Facebook?
So they blocked our ads account and this is where we invested almost all our marketing budget and it was just gone down the drain.
So we appealed and they said the decision is final, the account is permanently Hang on, hang on.
I've got to ask, as somebody who's been terminated twice on YouTube, who on Instagram cannot be tagged because I have been labelled by the Facebook owners of Instagram as a purveyor of misinformation, which is interesting given the Russia hoax conspiracy for the last four years.
I have to ask you, because they never did it to me, did they give you a reason as to why they cancelled your advertising account?
Are you sitting?
It's disruptive content.
Aha, because Thomas Sowell taking a bath at age six in Southern America is disruptive content.
And so I guess they thought they would just squash us with their pinky, and they discovered that this little chihuahua can bite.
And I don't know who the guy is sitting there, but I can imagine him trying to shake us off his finger, because after a while they started calling congressmen and senators to ask for our contact info, because no, no, it was an error.
Hang on, hang on, hang on.
I need these full details.
So they try to cancel your advertising budget on Facebook because making children's books about conservative heroes is disruptive content.
Yeah, it is if you're a commie.
And then they got worried and they tried to find out your content.
I need to know, what was it?
You're right, I skipped a stage.
What was it that got them worried?
What did you guys do in retaliation for this injustice?
Well, we wrote a press release and we contacted journalists and Fox Business News picked it up and put it right up at the top of their site for a whole morning with a picture of Zuckerberg and her books and a label anti-American.
And so, and it started a wildfire.
And then Ted Cruz tweeted out something.
And then others started tweeting.
And by the way, not everyone on the right.
Some people on the center and even on the moderate left thought, wait a minute, canceling Reagan, that is a little too much.
And so they, I guess they got scared when it became political, right?
Because they're thinking someone will take away their Section 230 or something.
So the minute they began to, and it's just like, you know, like foam.
It just grew and grew.
It was all over Twitter.
It was all over the conservative press everywhere.
Name a site, Daily Wire, National Review, everywhere.
There was something about it and they started, they didn't contact us.
They contacted the congressmen and senators and they called Cruz's office and asked for our contact information.
They could have found our editor Yeah, but as you said, it's some, what did Senator Paul call them, some snotty nose that'll get somewhere who probably doesn't know even how to find somebody's phone number.
So, what's the resolution?
Briefly, what happened?
Are you back on Facebook?
They reinstated our ads account, but I must tell you we're not now so eager to rush to putting a lot of money there because we don't know what will happen next.
This is the ministry of truth from George Orwell's 1984.
There's no one to talk to.
You appeal and you get these irrelevant notes because they said in one round they said our ads were low They rate ads.
They gave us high grades for 95% of our ads.
They gave us these grades.
And now they're saying low quality.
You know this complacency?
And people get angry.
We got such reactions from people.
You see how the tyranny of those institutions that tell you what to think is becoming unbearable.
Yeah.
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.

I'll hold you there for a second.

That's FreedomSquare.com.
I have a peculiar question for you, and we don't rehearse any of our interviews, we don't, you know, get permission and talking points and blah blah blah, so I'm just gonna hit you between the eyes with this one, Gadi.
Why is an Israeli former liberal publishing children's books about American conservative heroes?
What's in it for you?
You're in Israel, you're in the Middle East, what's in it for you?
Well, first of all, I love America and I love American culture.
My PhD is in American history.
My first literary love was Damon Runyon.
And secondly, talking about downstream, Israel is downstream for America.
Whatever happens there, Will happen here.
And so we're greatly worried.
So I joined this team with great gusto, because I think it's an important thing, because I love to tell stories to children, because I think this is a mind-numbing, corrupting, bad influence on the souls of people.
Children are being malnourished reading all this woke No crap.
So it was natural for me and I joined it with passion.
And I dedicate a lot of my time to this.
And what we're doing now is a subscription library.
So you can make a subscription and you'll get a different hero every month.
And now the next one is John Wayne and the subtitle is Manhood and Honor.
And this is a book I Yeah.
specifically love because I told you that I wrote against the woke crowd back 25 years ago in Israel.
Part of that woke crowd was radical feminism.
Because I think that instead they keep saying that they are for equality, but they're not for equality.
This is this is a demonization of Males and and and I feel for little boys now and you know, I've read Christina of Somerset's book the war against boys It's it's terrible Masculinity is is is being demonized in such a way that kids are taught to hate themselves So so we we thought you know If we do a John Wayne book and call it Manhood and Honor, no one will mistake our message.
Then you'll really get in trouble with Silicon Valley.
All jokes aside, this is my next mission.
My next book is going to be about restoring the masculine and celebrating manhood.
Because it's, you know, it's central to Western civilization, you know, from David to, you know, Winston Churchill to, you know, from, you know, Moshe Dayan to Ronald Reagan, you know, manhood is why we crushed evil.
It's not about demeaning women, it's about understanding that When evil raises its ugly head, it is the duty of men to fight it.
And as a famous philosopher once said, if you don't, if good men do nothing, then evil prevails.
So, very excited about the next one, the John Wayne book.
Tell us, give us, because we haven't covered the others, give us the names of who you've written books about, your team have written books about already at heroesofliberty.com, and give us some other insight into who else you will be publishing.
Yes.
So there's going to be Mark Twain, who's been canceled here and there now.
There's going to be one of my favorite, Douglas MacArthur.
There's going to be Clara Barton, the founder of the American Red Cross.
Next after John Wayne is Alexander Hamilton with unbelievably stunning 18th century style art.
It's going to be amazing.
And then we've got Margaret Thatcher.
We've got Teddy Roosevelt.
We've got Truett Cathy.
He's going to be one of our heroes, Abraham Lincoln, and this is what we've got planned up to now.
We're already selling a two-year subscription.
We're committed to this and we're going to produce one every month.
By the way, Sebastian, your listeners and your viewers Tell us about this amazing deal.
If people want to push back, if they want to have a real vaccine against theills of our culture, where do they go and what kind of discount can you give them, Gadi?
They go to herosofliberty.com.
That's the only place to get us now.
And the discount coupon is Gorka.
So anyone who goes on our site and armed with your name can get a 5% discount on all our products, all the books, all the subscription plans, which, as I said, stretch over the next two years.
And we're going to continue from there.
We want to do a Founding Fathers series.
We want to do a veteran series, like people with medals of honor.
We want to do a series of biblical heroes.
So if this picks up as we hope it will, we are going to go back to the foundation of the Judeo-Christian culture.
And try to give children a juicy bite from them.
Not a didactic preaching, but a juicy bite of this.
Because, you know, culture is at the bottom of every culture.
There are archetypes.
And those archetypes are from literally the bottom of our souls.
And every culture needs to help its young deal with both demons and gods.
And we have to start young.
And this was once natural with every story a mother told a child.
And now the schools are completely gone.
And our strategy is focused on these, you know, sacred minutes of intimacy between parent and child before a child goes to sleep, which we believe are formative.
And we hope that these books, because they're illustrated in this stunning way, could be used even for very young kids, where you can just browse the book and tell the story in a simpler way.
And all the way up to age 12, where children who read themselves can read one such book in, say, an hour before they go to sleep.
They're not long.
They're 18 to 22 spreads.
We kept the text Simple, but I hope engaging.
And we want to take back the bookshelf.
You have a way with words.
We just had a soundbite machine in the last two minutes.
The sacred moments of intimacy as a child goes to sleep when you tell them stories.
Fabulous phrase.
That's going to be emblazoned on my cerebellum for a while.
And then this phrase.
I love this call to action.
Take back the bookshelf.
Let's take back the bookshelf.
Let's take back the schools.
Let's take back the libraries.
This is how it starts.
And I love this phrase.
Media matters.
You're going to have a cow now, aren't you?
I mean, you're going to have a conniption.
He just said, armed with your name.
Gawker as a weapon.
I love that.
Armed with my name.
Go to heroesofliberty.com.
Exactly.
Go to heroesofliberty.com.
Heroesofliberty.com.
Armed with G-O-R-K-A to get your discount.
Do your children and do our civilization a favor.
God bless you, Gadi.
What a fabulous, fabulous interview.
Thank you.
America has gotten used to being so strong and so big.
It's just selling its assets as if there's no tomorrow.
In Israel, you can't do that.
We are a nation of 10 million people, a country of 10 million people, surrounded by 400 million people who hate us.
Not all of them.
And hopefully less and less as time goes by.
But you know, there's a cloud of the Muslim Brotherhood all over this region.
And if it was up to Oh, President Obama, when he was here, he would have already overtaken the whole region.
And that's not good news for Jews.
So we refused.
First of all, you know, one of the great damages of woke culture is the death of humor.
Israelis can joke about anything, I tell you, even the Holocaust.
I'm not going to joke about the Holocaust on your show, but I tell you, Israelis between them joke about everything.
There's no sacred cow in Israeli humor.
Nothing.
We do have sacred cultural treasures, but we always have also humor.
So whatever And this is part of the explanation of what happened to the left.
Ever since, as The Onion once put it, feminists went on humor strike in 1963.
Ever since!
Humor has been dying on the left.
And now, you know, the Babylon Bee is the funniest thing out there.
