Time	Text
	So let me say here that in front of the Chinese side, the United States does not have the qualification to
	say that it wants to speak to China from a position of strength. - the United States does not have the qualification to say that That's how it started, and it only went downhill from there.
	Happy Monday, dear friends.
	This is America First with me, your host, Sebastian Gorka, former strategist to the 45th President of the United States, Donald John Trump.
	Well, he went there.
	He went there.
	His Secretary of State may have been bitch-slapped by the Communist Chinese chief diplomat in Anchorage at the beginning of his administration, but he has shown weakness, which of course has led others to take action.
	Russia has more than 127,000 troops amassed on the border with Ukraine.
	Ukraine, which is not a NATO member, but which borders multiple NATO members, so is a frontline non-NATO member state, is imminently going to be invaded.
	But Biden, who made all of this possible, who signalled weakness, feckless lack of strategic thought, has committed more than 9,000 of our US troops to pre-deployment.
	Yes, just moments ago, The breaking news that Lloyd Austin, that disgrace to the U.S.
	Army, who is now the Secretary of Defense under, well, Biden's instructions, I guess, although who knows who's really running the White House.
	Maybe it's Rice instead.
	Susan Rice gave the orders because she is the
	Ideological center of mass for the institution that is the Biden regime that we have placed the United States has placed nine and a half thousand troops on early warning status for deployment to Europe most likely to the eastern border region to the Baltic states or perhaps even to Hungary as a prelude to an escalation.
	Weren't we told For four years?
	That my former boss, President Trump, was the warmonger?
	Weren't we told that he would precipitate World War III on the Korean peninsula or with the Mullahs in Iran or with Russia?
	Oh no, not Russia, because he was supposed to be an agent of Vladimir Putin, despite the fact that he is the first president in modern history.
	To have green-lit the targeting of more than 200 Russian fighters, in this case, in Syria.
	Quote-unquote, mercenaries who were killed on his orders.
	Why?
	Because Russia was meddling in the Middle East and destabilizing it, and he wanted to take preventive action.
	That man was sold to us as the person who would create World War III.
	But we never invaded anybody.
	Not for four years did we invade any nation.
	And in fact, in fact, we brought troops home in large numbers and we told our allies to get serious.
	Especially NATO, which, of course, we had kept afloat since April of 1949 when it was created by providing them with that get-out clause, Article 5 of the Washington Treaty, which meant that if any one of our allies in Europe were invaded by territorial forces of the Soviet Union or the Warsaw Pact, we, America, would come to their aid in the collective defence bargain.
	We would provide a nuclear umbrella.
	Which sadly, after 40 years, led to them saying, well it's okay, America's going to look after us so we don't have to take our defense seriously.
	Which meant a diminution of their capacity for what is called expeditionary warfare, with the exception until a few years ago of the UK and France.
	But even they are now challenged.
	But we had a very simple message.
	If you are an ally, you need to pay for your defense in a fashion that is reflexive of a seriousness.
	And many of them did for the first time in decades.
	They took their 2% of GDP commitment to collective defense seriously because of a businessman who said, no more freeloaders.
	You want to be one of our allies?
	Get serious.
	Likewise, We sent a message, not just to our friends, but to our enemies.
	We declared a trade war with China to send them a message that we know what you are doing.
	We're on to you.
	And we're not going to let you bully or intimidate our friends and our partners in Southeast Asia, like Taiwan, like Japan.
	To Iran?
	One of the proudest moments in my time in the White House when Steve Bannon and myself were called in to the president to argue in front of the rest of the members of his cabinet who were multilateral globalists who wanted to acquiesce to the Europeans and keep the obscene Iran deal alive.
	President Trump called us in and said, OK, here are my heavies.
	You tell the rest of my cabinet why we have to rip to shreds Obama's Iran deal, which released more than $140 billion, with a B, billion dollars to a regime that is the greatest sponsor of state terrorism and that wishes to destroy America and Israel.
	We told the president, sir, it's an outrage.
	Rip it up.
	And he did.
	No more pallets of cash shipped under cover of darkness to those who call America the great Satan and to wish and wish to see us destroyed.
	Likewise, with Lil' Kim in North Korea, we sent a very clear message.
	No more ballistic missile launches over the Sea of Japan.
	No more intimidation of our friends in Japan.
	Otherwise, there will be repercussions.
	How do we send that message of seriousness?
	Of not bending over backwards to the quote-unquote international community that couldn't fight its way out of a wet paper bag?
	Just one example, and I can talk about it now.
	I still have my clearances, but this is now declassified.
	When we saw the incontrovertible evidence that the murderous regime of Bashar al-Assad was going to use chemical weapons again on unarmed civilians in Syria during that bloody, bloody civil war that continues to this day, what did President Trump do on our advice?
	While he was having a state dinner with Xi Jinping in Mar-a-Lago.
	Yeah.
	He launched 52 cruise missiles on that Syrian Air Force base and turned it into a sheet of glass.
	And then just, you've got to see the photographs, the footage, it's still up there on the internet.
	And he bent down and whispered into Xi's ear, yeah, I just sent a message to Assad.
	A message which was for all tyrants, Xi Jinping included, little Kim included, Vladimir Putin, the murderous KGB colonel in the Kremlin as well.
	America is back.
	No better friend, no worse enemy.
	And for four glorious years, America was safe from external enemies and internal ones, as we secured the border with that beautiful, beautiful, shiny wall.
	You know, one year's time, it's all been dismantled.
	We have a woke military run by traitorous, overweight individuals like Mark Milley, who's more interested in white rage and critical race theory than he is in destroying our enemies.
	We didn't invade anybody, but we kept America safe, and now Biden has invited Catastrophe once more.
	Kabul wasn't enough.
	Now it's going to be a war with Russia.
	I'm Sebastian Gorka.
	We have amazing guests for you today.

	First guest of the day, couldn't have planned it better, sadly, thanks to the senile old man who bears the title commander-in-chief today.
	He is Trump-endorsed candidate for the Congressional District No.
	3 in the great state of Washington, former warrant officer with the Special Forces.
	Joe Kent, welcome back to America First.
	Thanks so much for having me back.
	All right, first things first, how's the campaign going?
	It's going really well.
	We're still leading in the polls.
	Fundraising is chugging along there.
	And then we have a great deal of momentum here in the district.
	People are enthusiastic.
	We're still under draconian mandates here from our crazy governor.
	So people are ready for a change.
	You can feel the enthusiasm.
	I'm really excited about this next year.
	Well I met you late last year at an amazing political gathering where they had something like 32 different speakers.
	I was tailing Charlie for that three hour event.
	We had a lot of fun.
	You were one of the speakers.
	We connected straight away in the green room.
	Very impressed with you.
	You've had what?
	20 years in uniform with the Rangers, with the Green Berets, 11 combat tours.
	Gotta get your input right now.
	We have a weak, feckless administration and now we understand that more than 9,000 of your former compatriots have been put on warning orders for potential deployment to Europe to, I don't know, be a speed bump for the Red Bear?
	Give us your reaction, Joe Kent.
	I mean, we're in a very dangerous situation right now.
	As you pointed out, Joe Biden is completely incompetent, but he's being really, I think, exploited and used as a tool by the combination of the military-industrial complex, who's desperately searching for another war, but then also Joe Biden's political team that is willing to risk a war with a nuclear power like Russia just to distract from his failures here at home.
	So we are in a very dangerous place.
	No steps that we've taken so far have been aimed at actually addressing the problem.
	If we're concerned about Russia, then why did we cut off our domestic oil output?
	Why didn't we stop our NATO allies from buying oil from Russia?
	None of it makes any sense unless you're trying to get us to stumble into a war, and this is extremely dangerous.
	So we need Congress to step up right now and exercise their constitutionally appointed duties and demand that Joe Biden request a war authorization, a declaration of war.
	Before going forward with this.
	They should even be freezing funding.
	This is what they did to Trump when he tried to get us out of wars.
	I want to see Congress use their power to try to prevent us from going to war.
	We're going to talk with your former Green Beret colleague, Weapons NCO Jim Hansen, in the second hour.
	Take your calls as well.
	The number is 833-333-GORKA.
	That's 833-334-6752.
	Look, your suggestions are superlative suggestions as to what the alleged conservatives on Capitol Hill should be doing, but given what they didn't do, When President Trump was in office, do you have any expectation that the bulk of the establishment will do what you have called for to stop Biden now without President Trump being in office?
	Sadly, no.
	I mean, there's some great leaders out there I know that have really gone out there on a limb and advocated for a more restrained foreign policy.
	You know, you have your Matt Gaetz, your Paul Gosar's, your MTG's, etc.
	But they're in a minority.
	We need to see the Republican caucus take lead on this.
	But unfortunately, we have Republican war hawks that want to bring back the Cheney doctrine.
	They want endless war.
	And they're saying insane things like all options are on the table, just really going along with Biden's weakness.
	So this needs to stop.
	I hope everybody takes a moment to call their representatives in demand that Congress actually formally authorizes a war and does everything they can to stop These continued escalations freeze the fundings, make the congressional process play out, make every single elected official put their name on the dotted line if they want a conflict with Russia.
	And I think if they actually are answering to the American people, they will not do so.
	They will actually move to prevent a conflict with Russia because they know how dangerous this is.
	If you live in Washington, support this man, JoeKent4Congress.com.
	That's JoeKent4Congress.com.
	20 years serving this nation.
	Also, his wife, Shannon, paid the ultimate price in Syria, killed by the ISIS jihadists.
	Explain to us, for our millions of listeners across the nation, why you've decided to not just have the quiet life.
	You've bled enough for this nation.
	Why are you serving it again as a civilian, Joe?
	You know, really, that's what I intended to do after my late wife was killed.
	I resigned from government service and wanted to just come back here to home to the Pacific Northwest to raise my kids.
	But the way that the last election was stolen, the way that the left weaponized all the violence of 2020 using Antifa and BLM, I realized that our country was at war.
	It was just a war back here at home and everything that I've seen since Biden was installed.
	has really pointed to the fact that we are almost under totalitarian control and seeing how Republicans will not fight.
	Most Republicans or the rhinos will not fight.
	These are the same people that thwarted President Trump for his entire four years that really led to my wife being left in Syria after Trump tried to get us out.
	These people will not defend us.
	So when my representative Jamie Hurrah Butler voted for the impeachment of President Trump, I knew that it wasn't a matter of, hey, is this the best thing for me to do right now?
	It was a matter of I'm being called to serve again to go and fight because this isn't politics as normal.
	We are at war and we need to be going to war against the left and against the rhinos.
	Say that again.
	Who was your representative in the third district who voted to impeach President Trump?
	Jamie Herrera-Butler.
	In theory, she's a Republican, but she has a worse voting record than Liz Cheney.
	Follow this man on Twitter, JoeKent16Jan19.
	That's JoeKent16Jan19.
	Joe, last specific questions for the people of your state and your district.
	What is your message to them?
	What will you do for them?
	And why should they support you?
	Absolutely.
	I'm going to bring their voice back to Washington, D.C.
	Jamie Herrera-Butler hasn't done an in-person town hall in six years.
	We need right now bold leadership to stand up to these draconian mandates from our governor.
	We need this whole concept of forcing people to take a jab or lose their job off the table.
	We need the masks off of our children.
	We need to fight hard against Inslee right now.
	Our governor is proposing vaccine mandates for our children.
	That needs to be fought at every single level.
	After that, we have to stop this Biden agenda.
	We can't take any more of this.
	It's only been one year, and look how far that we've already fallen.
	We need to impeach Joe Biden, obstruct everything they're doing, use the tools of oversight to bring clarity to everything that's gone on for the past years, from the election to January 6th, to the Chinese Communist Party sending a virus over here, and then we need to go back to putting America first.
	We need to restore our timber industry, bring back our manufacturing, be tough on immigration, Fabulous message.
	We're out of time.
	any more foreign entanglements, bringing back our manufacturing and strengthening the American family is at the core of the America first message.
	And that's what I want to bring back to this district and to our nation.
	Fabulous message.
	We're out of time.
	In memory of your late wife killed by ISIS, what foundation would you like our listeners to support, Joe?
	Yes, the Tunnels to Towers Foundation.
	They're an absolutely amazing organization.
	They build homes for wounded veterans, and then they're also paying off mortgages.
	That's T2T.org, the letter T, the number two, T2T.org.
	God bless you, Joe.
	This is America First.
	America First
	Thank you, Joe.
	Great job.
	If you come to DC, always tell us and we'll get you in studio, okay?
	Oh, absolutely.
	Thank you very much.
	All right.
	Thank you.
	Take care, Doctor.
	Bye-bye.
	Okay, I will field those calls.
	- Stop. - Okay. - All right.
	You can't record audio while I'm...
	No.
	What would it take to be able to do that? - Okay.
	So, exactly what are you talking about?
	Like, in the breaks, I could record... You could, but you wouldn't be able to communicate with anybody.
	Oh, okay.
	Harley from... I'm sorry, which state?
	She's fake news!
	Wow!
	I'm sorry, your line is kind of funky.
	I can't really understand you.
	What state?
	Get out of here!
	Shit!
	California.
	Okay.
	And what do you want to say to Dr. G today?
	say to Dr. G today.
	Zachary Petriza.
	Ask him about 15 guys in a sauna.
	I'm sorry.
	The line is really bad.
	Are you in an area with not great reception?
	Because I can't really understand you.
	I wonder what he was trying to do.
	- Part of a distraction from what?
	All right.
	Is there anything else?
	Okay, all right.
	I'll put you on hold and see if we can get you on the air.
	Please stand by.
	Thanks for calling in.
	Friend just sent me a video of a black man in an elevator with no mask on and two white women, elderly white women, yelling Black Lives Matter at him and physically hitting him.
	I need to know the backstory on that a bit more, but that is wild.
	He's got no mask, but they're hitting him and saying Black Lives Matter?
	Yep.
	Wow.
	Alright, just get back on the... You don't have to interview Ray for a long time.
	We know who Ray is.
	I'm sorry?
	You don't have to interview Ray for a long time.
	We know who he is.
	I was trying to get his... Don't worry about it.
	Let me hear Blink and Cut 6 quickly.
	127,000 Russian troops now near the border.
	How much power, in all honesty, does the U.S.
	really have to stop Russia?
	We've given Russia two paths.
	There's the path of diplomacy and dialogue, one that I engaged in with Foreign Minister Lavrov just last week in Geneva.
	But there's also a path of its renewed aggression and massive consequences that we have been building now for many weeks.
	15 seconds.
	Massive consequences.
	Come in with that.
	We're doing merch and the lead here.
	We're doing merch and relief here.
	Stand by.
	Portions of America First are brought to you in part by Stand With Israel Tour.
	It's 127,000 Russian troops now near the border.
	How much power, in all honesty, does the U.S. really have to stop Russia?
	We've given Russia two paths.
	There's a path of diplomacy and dialogue, one that I engaged in with Foreign Minister Lavrov.
	just last week in Geneva.
	But there's also a path of its renewed aggression and massive consequences that we have been building now for many weeks.
	Massive consequences.
	Tony Beta Boy Blinken is talking to us about massive consequences.
	Is he gonna write another song?
	I'm not joking, okay?
	This guy posts videos of himself playing a guitar.
	That is the most senior diplomat in America.
	I'm sure Lavrov was quaking, quaking in his boots.
	When he had a phone conversation.
	The same... Do you remember when Hillary Clinton had your job?
	You pathetic little man.
	And she went to do the Russia reset for Obama.
	And she took a plastic switch from the hardware store with the word... It was meant to be reset on it.
	Because, hey, you know, colluding with Russia.
	I like that.
	Let's reset our relations.
	12 million dollars, you know, for us.
	Smear material!
	And Lavrov, in front of the cameras, said, uh, I'm sorry, you do not know how to translate Russian.
	That does not say reset, it says overcharge.
	Ha ha ha!
	You're even more of a joke than she was!
	Yeah, Putin's so afraid of Biden.
	You know what's gonna happen?
	It's gonna be disaster.
	We're gonna have to have Alright, I'm going to say it right now.
	The newest product on our store is what?
	Americans abandoned in Afghanistan.
	We will not forget.
	Have you seen what the State Department has said?
	The same thing about Ukraine.
	And it's not Kiev.
	It's Kiev, cretins.
	They've said, oh, if you're an American in Ukraine, we can't help you get out.
	You better get out by yourself.
	They're doing it again.
	Tell the world what you think of this regime.
	Fly that flag in your home.
	It says Americans Abandoned, We Will Not Forget.
	It's got the map of Afghanistan and 13 stars for the 13 warfighters killed needlessly when we surrendered Kabul.
	Tell the world that you will not forget.
	It's got a flag, we've got a t-shirt, everything made in America.
	Go to our store, tell the world who you are.
	SebGorkaStore.com, that's S-E-B-G-O-R-K-A-Store.com, SebGorkaStore.com.
	Let's go to your calls, 833-33-Gorka, that's 833-334-6752.
	Let's go to our good buddy, Ray Livermore, line two.
	Dr. G. Hey.
	I would like to say happy Monday, but it doesn't sound like it.
	No.
	As a former infantryman, airborne, into the combat field by leaving perfectly good airplanes in flight.
	You crazy man!
	Jumping out of perfectly good airframes!
	Yes, but I can't do that alone.
	Or my brothers who are still there.
	There's nine men behind every infantryman on the field.
	You probably know that.
	Yeah, the tooth and the tail.
	Yeah, you're the teeth and then you have a long tail.
	Whether it's a guy with a spoon serving up food, guy pushing papers, somebody driving a truck, that infantryman can't operate without those nine men behind him.
	So Biden has effectively sent 1,000 rifles there, and as you stated, it'll serve us as a speed bomb for our cannon fodder, like our 13 Marines in Afghanistan.
	And you know why this happened, Ray, don't you?
	Because he showed weakness.
	He's weak.
	And as your previous guest perfectly stated, this is to paper over his failures.
	The left has gotten us into many more wars than anybody on the right.
	And as you stated, anything that they pointed their finger at Trump and accused of, they are busy doing themselves.
	Yeah.
	Just remember two things.
	First things first, the broad thing.
	What my colleague, I call him my rabbi, although I'm a Catholic, Dennis Fraker says, Whatever the leftists accuse you of is what they are doing themselves for.
	Four years of calling President Trump a warmonger.
	No wars, no invasions.
	Troops brought home whilst he was being undermined in the Pentagon by people who wanted to double down in Syria and Afghanistan.
	We are one year into this administration and they're deploying thousands of US troops needlessly.
	In a stupid effort to show too late, too little, that they are the tough guys, number one.
	Absolutely.
	God bless you, Ray.
	Thank you for doing what you do and for serving this nation.
	More of your calls here on America First coming to you live from the reliefactor.com studios.
	Reliefactor, pain relief that works, pain relief that's real, pain relief that is liberating tens of thousands of your fellow Americans every single day from their daily pain.
	If you've tried everything else and failed to find relief, You've got to try Relief Factor.
	Just listen to Debrin's story.
	Debrin from Massachusetts.
	I just started taking Relief Factor four days ago.
	My hip pain is gone.

	The End
	The End Mic's back on.
	Hello.
	Hey!
	One is just b-roll, right?
	Um, I have the audio, but I can play just b-roll if you want.
	No, play as much as you can of seven.
	Seven.
	If you are focused on deterrence, why not do what Ukraine is asking you to do and sanction now?
	Take action now.
	Why keep it as a punitive matter after the fact?
	Well, first, we are, as I said, taking action now.
	We've built up across these many weeks a very strong coalition of countries that has made it very clear it will take very significant action if Russia commits renewed acts of aggression.
	Right.
	And Ukraine is saying you could go harder.
	You could be stronger.
	We've provided very significant military assistance to Ukraine.
	We've been taking action against Russian agents in Ukraine.
	But as to the sanctions, the most important thing we can do is to use them as a deterrent.
	as a means of dissuading Russia from engaging in further aggression.
	Five seconds.
	Once sanctions are triggered.
	Okay.
	Yeah.
	Making sense out of today's news, here's Dr. Sebastian Gorka.
	I wasn't in town yesterday, and I regret it because, according to some friends of mine who attended, the Stop the Mandates rally was really something else terrifying.
	Tens of thousands of patriots, there you go, there's the footage, thank you Eric, came to the mall and it was Cold.
	It was cold yesterday.
	But that didn't stop them.
	Why?
	Because they want to fight for our freedoms.
	Bodily autonomy, bodily sovereignty is of course non-negotiable, as the pro-abortion, murder-loving leftists like to tell us all the time.
	My body, my choice.
	I guess that's not the case.
	If you're a conservative.
	Look at that beautiful, massive Stars and Stripes that they carried along them, all those firefighters.
	Somebody who's pushing back.
	We're delighted to have with us today is the President Pro Tem of the Pennsylvania State Senate.
	He's with us right now.
	President Jake Corman.
	Welcome to America First.
	Thank you.
	Great to be with you today.
	So tell us about what you're doing in the great state of Pennsylvania and how parents and how just average Americans are trying to get their lives back in the face of these outrageous mandates.
	Well, one of the things that we accomplished was, um, and I'll get to the more important issue in a second, but when we talk about mandates is, uh, uh, the governor tried to mandate masks in schools, uh, and, uh, I filed suit against him saying that he didn't have the authority to do it.
	The court, Democrat Supreme Court ruled unanimously in our favor that he did not, that this should be a decision made at the local level.
	And so we were able to have those defeated.
	So that was a big victory for those who don't, you know, don't support mandates coming down from the federal or state government, that local communities and people empowering people to make decisions for themselves are very important.
	But more importantly than that, actually, is The issue we're doing with the progressive movement of our district attorney in Philadelphia.
	Our district attorney in Philadelphia is one of the first sort of progressives who doesn't believe in prosecuting crimes, and so therefore now Philadelphia has become just a culture of violence and a culture of death.
	They set all sorts of records last year for homicides, over 560 homicides in the city of Philadelphia.
	The district attorney Uh, a couple weeks ago said that we don't have any kind of crisis, even though there's skyrocketing with carjacking and other violent crimes.
	Um, we've had over 30 already this year, uh, in Philadelphia.
	Uh, and so I, you know, called for his impeachment, which is how you in Pennsylvania, you would remove a local elected official.
	And I know he was just elected recently and reelected recently.
	And I don't like overturning an election or having an election set aside.
	But Philadelphia is in a state of crisis.
	There's just no question about it.
	And so at least an impeachment process would allow a public process to unfold where they would hold hearings and ultimately passes the House, hold a trial in the Senate.
	So these policies could be put on trial and this individual's performance can be put on trial because the culture of crime is directly related Uh, to what the district attorney has set in place that you're not held accountable.
	You're not held accountable for anything that you do.
	Uh, and, uh, you know, today we, you know, unfortunately more news out of Philadelphia.
	We had a police officer's son shot and killed, uh, just shot multiple times in the back.
	And it's just something that we cannot tolerate anymore.
	Uh, I've actually started a website called impeach Krasner.com.
	Because I just think it's that important.
	You know, I'm an elected official, president of the Senate from central Pennsylvania, not near Philadelphia necessarily, but we're a commonwealth and Philadelphia has problems we need not, we cannot turn a blind eye to it.
	And so that's why I've stepped into it and said, you know, this is unacceptable.
	And I think it's high time that this person is held accountable for his policies, which have led To just a tremendous amount of death and violence in the city of Philadelphia.
	Now you were first elected to the Senate in 1998.
	As I understand it now you are running for governor.
	We've seen an amazing victory in the Commonwealth of Virginia but because Glenn Youngkin in the last three weeks decided this is a culture war and he supported the parents at the school board meetings and As a result, he was swept into victory.
	What kind of governor do you want to be?
	Talk to us about your relationship to America First and the MAGA agenda.
	Look, I believe in putting people first.
	First and foremost.
	I trust the people.
	I would have handled this crisis that we've had recently in a far different way than our current Liberal Democrat governor, Tom Wolf, who didn't trust the people.
	You've got to trust people.
	The government's job is to get the facts out.
	Is to set out what the sort of the guidance is.
	But at the end of the day, you got to trust people to make decisions for themselves.
	I mean, that's how our society was built.
	Our society wasn't built for one person to make unilateral decisions for a year at a time, as happened in Pennsylvania.
	That's why we passed a constitutional amendment that took the government away, or at least reduced them during an emergency.
	So those shutdowns could never happen again.
	That's why I personally sued him about the masks in schools.
	It's not that necessarily I don't agree or disagree with masks.
	It shouldn't be the governor's decision.
	It should be a decision made at the local levels by parents and community members.
	So, you know, I would be a governor that would trust his people, that would restore his power back to the individual.
	That's what our founding fathers envisioned for this great country of ours and something that I'm a big believer in.
	Where can people find out more about you?

	And so President Biden's approval rating is not very good across the country and certainly not good here in Florida.
	Oh, yeah.
	And so President Biden's approval rating is not very good across the country and certainly not good here in Florida.
	Do you want to be camp?
	Do you want to see President Biden come down and campaign with you?
	Well, Jim, let me say this.
	Back again to James and Eloise Butler, my parents.
	They always taught me to find my own way, to work hard, to earn the right, to earn people's support, to earn the praise or accept the defeat.
	And so what I do know is that I've got to run my race and I'm running it through the tape.
	I have a lot of people who call and say, let me know what you need.
	How can I help?
	Some say, look, I'll help you if I'll come down.
	If I can help you.
	I have a lot of people, but I have I've been in this race now.
	Okay, thank you.
	That's a lot of bloody waffle to say no.
	Yeah, just refusing to answer the question.
	Did we play Cut 7 already?
	Um, the... I don't think so.
	We played Cut 6.
	I don't think we played Cut 7.
	Okay, give me just 20 seconds of that.
	If you are focused on deterrence, why not do what Ukraine is asking you to do?
	Oh, yeah, yeah.
	Okay, thanks.
	Alright.
	Okay, 15 seconds.
	Standby.
	Come in with...
	No, that's all right.
	Just come straight in.
	Okay.
	America First.
	Can you believe it?
	They are saying that they don't agree with America First.
	How do you say that?
	Magnificent.
	Do you remember that East Coast attack by the non-nation state actors last year?
	Russia, right?
	Russia.
	What do you think is going to happen after our troops deploy?
	What do you think is going to happen to the cyber domain in America?
	It's not bad enough Russia is going to attack us in the cyber domain.
	This administration is attacking you.
	Unless you're vaccinated, if you're a truck driver from Mexico or Canada, you won't be able to ship across our borders.
	Yeah.
	Yeah.
	And we get a lot of stuff transcript from South and North.
	Are you prepared?
	I am.
	Let's go to your course next.
	We're going to have Jim Hansen with us, former Special Forces warrant officer in studio.
	Morgan Zegers for a whole hour.
	Can't wait.
	But first, Peter Orlando.
	Hey, how you doing, Dr. Corker?
	Good, good.
	So, when the Soviet Union broke up, Ukraine had the third most nuclear weapons in the world.
	Yes, as part of the Warsaw Pact, correct.
	And the world made a commitment to them that their territorial integrity would be defended against, I'm guessing, they had Russia in mind.
	Yeah, I think that's the Budapest Accords, correct.
	Yeah, nobody's talking about that.
	I think that would have been a very good starting point in terms of diplomacy and talks.
	But that ship sailed.
	I mean, Biden's so far over the, you know...
	Hey, good afternoon.
	the other direction it's not even funny that's gone no nobody's talking about it because uh well it's just even more embarrassing thank you peter for reminding us that we made a commitment along with our allies to the ukraine uh the soviet union uh former republic that it got rid of its nuclear weapons and we said thank you guys we'll help you out in the future judy brooklyn line two hey good afternoon this might be a stupid question but i have to ask it because it's in my head 9,000 U.S.
	troops, the whole thing is ridiculous.
	But let me ask you, if that's the case, why aren't they coordinating and unifying representation of at least 9,000 troops from every NATO country as well?
	That's a fabulous question.
	I'll tell you why, because they don't have them.
	Oh, goodness.
	You know, they have troops, right?
	They have troops, but moving troops is what makes you a superpower.
	Being able to shift them hundreds, or in our case, thousands of miles is called expeditionary forces.
	America today has expeditionary forces.
	Really, in Europe, nobody does anymore.
	Unbelievable.
	And you know something, Dr. Gorka?
	The Dems want to keep COVID alive for political reasons, even though it's waning and weakening.
	They're desperate, but they want to pretend.
	You know, make us all scared and whatever and keep alive for their for their nefarious.
	Yes.
	I love that.
	You're absolutely right.
	I'm going to quote you right now in the break.
	I'm going to tweet it out.
	Judy, our caller, the Dems need COVID to stay alive.
	Bingo.
	You nailed it.
	God bless Judy.
	The best callers in the known universe.
	This is America First.
	Stay on this channel.
	See you.
	The End
	Yeah, what did we start today?
	Did we start with 19?
	Yeah, we did 19, 20 and 21.
	more troops and equipment in recent days to Ukraine.
	Yeah.
	What did we start today?
	Did we start with 19?
	I was preparing for what comes next.
	Charles?
	Jennifer, thank you very much.
	So is all of this enough to deter Russia?
	Yeah, we did 19, 20, and 21.
	Okay.
	So combine 19 and 20, and then 21 can be the day after.
	Okay.
	Titles.
	You think of Crimea.
	You think of essentially Russia.
	What did I talk about in A?
	Was it only... You went off on the whole Ukraine thing.
	Ukraine.
	What was the key message?
	You started off with the China Blinken thing and then how weak we are compared to how Trump and Mr. Trump handle everything.
	Biden wants a war with Russia.
	Okay.
	Joe Kent, you don't have to post Corman.
	Right.
	Kent.
	From Green Beret to Congressional Candidate.
	Yes.
	and the prerecord.
	The biggest cost of COVID...
	Okay.
	Hanson may arrive at some point during this segment.
	No worries.
	All right.
	I'm going to use the Portland...
	No, I'm going to use...
	Pompeo...
	Yeah, come in with Pompeo.
	Come in with Pompeo.
	Okay, do you want to do ins and outs real quick?
	Uh, no, let me, let me, I need time to think.
	Okay.
	Coming in with cut two after the liner.
	Got podcast at the end here.
	Okay.
	Yes.
	Standing by.
	Okay, coming in with one pound?
	Yeah.
	I think they don't see President Biden as credible.
	I think they see all this talking, these pieces of paper being exchanged as not credible.
	They don't do the right thing.
	They don't protect the American people, establish deterrence and prevent, reduce the risk that what President Biden called a minor incursion.
	It reminded me, Shannon, of when President Obama called ISIS the JV.
	Same kind of downplaying of risk.
	Mike Pompeo, former Secretary of State, former director of the CIA in the Trump administration.
	He's absolutely right.
	Nobody takes this administration seriously.
	Why would you?
	Why would you?
	Democrat, director of the CIA.
	Democrat appointed Secretary of Defense Robert Gates, who worked for Obama.
	Who knows?
	Who knows?
	Biden intimately, because he was vice president when he was a cabinet member.
	This is so extraordinary, because the swamp doesn't do this.
	Yes, if you're a political appointee for a year or two, you come out, you do your kiss and tell.
	So disgusting.
	But people who've been in the machinery for decades, like Robert Gates, don't do kiss and tell.
	Gates comes out, writes his autobiography.
	What does he write?
	As a Democrat appointed to the cabinet of Obama.
	He writes, Joe Biden has been on the wrong side of every major issue for four decades.
	Well, now we can adjust that with a footnote and say, yeah, five decades.
	But, before I talk about what Biden has just done, by activating and putting on warning orders, 9,000 US troops to deploy with the NATO reaction force of another, what, this 40,000 NATO US troops to deploy with the NATO reaction force of another, what, this 40,000 NATO reaction forces, which is nothing, literally a speed bump, a Thank you. - Let's put this into broader context.
	I tweeted about this and maybe people misunderstood me but that doesn't matter.
	I want a little bit of sophisticated analysis.
	Because it's not two options.
	I've heard people say, oh well your kids can go and fight for Ukraine.
	It's not what anybody's arguing for.
	Unless you're some neocon.
	The neocons are dead anyway.
	I mean, who are the neocons right now?
	Bill Kristol, who in the last election said, vote for Democrats?
	Yeah, okay, we getcha.
	There's nothing conservative about the neocons, and they're dead.
	Dead!
	There's a political force in America, thanks to President Trump.
	Like a certain parrot in a certain Monty Python sketch, they have ceased to be.
	They're pushing up the daisies six foot under.
	So no serious conservatives saying, oh well, we've got to protect Ukraine.
	No, that's not what we're talking about.
	But let's have a little historic perspective.
	What happened for the four years of our Trump administration?
	I'll tell you, I've said it before, one of the most serious I ever saw President Trump was when it was just the two of us in the Oval Office.
	It's quite a thing to be in the Oval Office, alone with the most powerful man in the world.
	A man who, if he wanted to, could call his military aid Open the nuclear football and initiate World War Three.
	It's an awesome, I mean just truly from the literal meaning of the word, awesome experience.
	Especially, most especially, as an immigrant, to be working in the White House, to be a politically commissioned officer of the President.
	I will prize forever my commissioning document with President Trump's signature that hangs on the wall of my home.
	And I was in the Oval for another, well I wasn't there to discuss North Korea, but there had been just that day some saber rattling from Pyongyang.
	Lil Kim was making threats again.
	When the President was seated sideways at the Resolute desk, had some papers in his hands on his lap, and he's a voracious consumer of information.
	I don't think I've said this before, but Whenever you're in there, or you brought a guest, and somebody says, or the president thinks, hey, we need a photograph to memorialize this meeting.
	He calls the White House photographer, or one of the two on-duty photographers, and the first thing he does, as soon as they get close to the Oval, he says, get all the papers off my desk!
	I saw this in Trump Tower when I first met him in the summer of 2015.
	Whether it's Trump Tower, or whether it's In the White House.
	He's old school like me.
	I don't.
	I mean, apart from my phone, if I'm in motion, if I'm traveling or what have you, I don't read stuff on a screen.
	I was born in 1970.
	Print it out!
	Right, Eric?
	Don't I want you to print everything out?
	Every single article.
	Okay.
	Hard copy.
	Why?
	Well, because I was born in 1970.
	And also, I want to mark it up.
	I want to make notes on it.
	Even in books.
	In pencil.
	Don't be a heretic, don't be a, you know, heathen.
	Don't be a philistine.
	Never use a pen in a book, seriously.
	Even if you're in college, don't do it.
	Show respect.
	Anyway, I want it printed out so I can make notes.
	And even when I first met him in 2015 or when we were in the White House, stacks of articles of papers on his desk because he's an information vacuum, yeah?
	And we'd always have to clear the desk, hide the papers, let the photographer come in, make it look nice and neat.
	So somebody can, you know, put up on the wall with pride that photograph.
	Especially when we, when I brought the Green Berets in to meet him from the Q course.
	I had to make it look spic and span.
	Anyway, he was seated sideways.
	To the Resolute Desk, all the papers there, papers on his lap.
	I was in there to talk about, I don't know what it was, Muslim Brotherhood or Iran, can't remember.
	And he just broke the conversation and looked up from his papers and he said, because of the news that had just occurred over the Sea of Japan, I do not want to deploy Americans again to the Korean Peninsula.
	Of course, he was thinking about 1950, the Korean War.
	One of, I think it's right to call it the forgotten war.
	One of the worst, toughest engagements under the aegis of the United Nations.
	A terrible, terrible winter froze our forces to the bone.
	Just not really remembered.
	Yeah, we remember World War Two, Vietnam, but not Korea.
	Just the toll, the meat grinder of that conflict for three years, which, by the way, may be in abeyance, but isn't at peace.
	Yes, Korea's in two halves, but there was a ceasefire.
	There was no peace treaty that settled The future of the peninsula, that's why it is on a hair trigger, that's why we have the DMZ.
	But President Trump understanding the awesome, the incalculable responsibility, you can't even imagine the responsibility of being the Commander-in-Chief, what that means on his shoulders, that with any decision pertaining to our armed forces, He could endanger the lives of thousands, tens of thousands, maybe even millions.
	And he really was not interested in deploying U.S.
	troops to the peninsula again.
	But he sent very powerful messages, whether it was the cruise missiles on that air base in Syria as they're preparing to use chemical weapons against, again, unarmed civilians.
	Whether it was our trade war with China, whether it was the targeting of more than 200 Russian quote-unquote contractors in Syria that we killed because they were in fact special forces for Russia.
	He took action when necessary.
	So here's the point I want to make.
	Apologies for the diversion, but hey, I know you guys like the stories.
	It's not not invading or invading that are the options.
	We didn't invade anybody for four years, but the world was safe.
	Why?
	Because we sent a clear message.
	Mess with us and we will destroy you.
	He actually said that about Korea.
	Nobody's afraid of Biden.
	So let's have a little bit more sophisticated analysis.
	When America is strong and shows leadership, the world is safe.
	And we have a bunch of globalist-serving sycophants.
	The world is on fire.

	Perfect timing.
	Oh, crap.
	I'm actually legitimately worried at this point.
	Holy crap.
	And that, you know, our mouthpieces, Blinken and Jake Sullivan, they just, Lavrov must be laughing in his pants, you know?
	Yeah, I mean, why don't you call the bluff?
	Let's stop it.
	You know they're not going to follow through.
	Right.
	We will take serious action, like what?
	Okay, yeah.
	Sanctions.
	Okay.
	Right.
	Great.
	And they'll take Ukraine.
	That's a good trick.
	And then China takes Taiwan.
	I wish that all wasn't true and impossible.
	We need to record that locals pre-roll as well today.
	Yes, we can do that.
	They just asked for it as well.

	Just like this, this complete barrage is, you know, sensory overload, but it's great fun for a couple of days.
	John Cardillo.
	Yeah.
	Yeah.
	You know, he's got an ammo company.
	I heard him and Rick are doing something.
	It's good.
	Yeah.
	I have their bullets.
	They're coming from, uh, Oh, not Czechoslovakia.
	I don't know why my mind just blanked on it.
	It's a totally kosher one.
	But quality?
	Yeah, it's their state munitions company.
	Oh, okay.
	And they just made a deal and they're importing millions.
	I picked up 10,000 rounds at 9 mil and 5.56.
	Nice!
	And you've shot it?
	And it's beautiful.
	I mean, it's good stuff.
	Wow.
	Bullets make me happy, man.
	And he threw me some to go ahead and try it out and be able to tell people that it's good stuff.
	Well, right now, I mean, every manufacturer I spoke to, they said, we don't really need to be here because we can't fulfill orders.
	We've got 16,000 units waiting.
	We'll finish shipping in about two years, those orders.
	The fun part was we were on our way to California, and he's got the warehouses in Scottsdale.
	And so we stopped, we took the Sprinter, stopped in Scottsdale, picked up ammo for me, for Schlicker, for Tom Tower.
	Were you on your springs?
	Built the whole back of it, and then I needed an invoice and a letter saying that this is, you know, I'm going to California, you know, with like 30,000 rounds.
	You need a bill of lading.
	One minute Israel here.
	Want to use any more cuts this second?
	Yeah, let's have a look.
	Maybe the cut seven of Blinken rambling?
	Yeah, I'll tee it up after Israel.
	Got it.
	All right.
	Let's do this.
	Yeah.
	You can get nice and close to the mic.
	You were a bit far from it last time and we sounded a little bit empty.
	A little roomy.
	Okay.
	All right.
	Good, good, good.
	Standing by.
	30 seconds.
	Okay.
	Israel top.
	Coming in and then we'll find that cut some point.
	Strategic studies. Securities. Securities. Securities.
	Thank you.
	Thank you.

	He is one of my guest hosts.
	He is a troublemaker extraordinaire.
	He is the founder, the president of the Security Studies Group.
	He's Uncle Jim.
	Jim Hansen, welcome back in studio.
	Good to be with you, man.
	What happened?
	Your face went all serious.
	You trying to be a grown up?
	Stop it!
	I got on my Professor Hanson garb because we're going to talk foreign policy.
	You don't have the leather elbow protectors.
	I got extra zippers.
	Extra zippers.
	Maybe the elbow patches are in the zippers.
	Perfect guest to have today.
	Well, let's talk about how bad things are.
	This is, um, I call him Beta Boy Blinken.
	He is allegedly our chief diplomat, the guy who likes to be slapped in the face by Chinese communist diplomats.
	This is him on CBS being very Churchillian.
	Cut seven.
	If you are focused on deterrence, why not do what Ukraine is asking you to do and sanction now?
	Take action now.
	Why keep it as a punitive matter after the fact?
	Well, first we are, as I said, taking action now.
	We built up across these many weeks a very strong coalition of countries that has made it very clear it will take very significant action if Russia commits renewed acts of aggression.
	Right, and Ukraine is saying you could go harder, you could be stronger.
	We've provided very significant military assistance to Ukraine.
	We've been taking action against Russian agents in Ukraine.
	But as to the sanctions, the most important thing we can do is to use them as a deterrent, as a means of dissuading Russia from engaging in further aggression.
	Once sanctions are triggered, you lose the deterrent effect.
	I'm just laughing here.
	First things first, since this former KGB colonel took over Russia, which sanction regime has made a difference?
	The only thing that made any difference was the fact that he was scared of Trump.
	That was it.
	And not only that, nothing to do with sanctions, under President Trump we became energy exporters, which just screwed with his most important export.
	And Trump shut down the Nord Stream 2, which is now Germany has decided they would rather have cheap natural gas to heat their houses with than their country.
	You know, Blinken can talk about who's on our team.
	Germany isn't.
	Germany already rolled over and Putin's scratching their belly.
	We got nothing.
	I'm legitimately scared of us.
	You came in and the first thing you said off mic is you said you're actually worried.
	Because these guys are amateurs.
	They're punks.
	They're gutless and spineless.
	And Putin knows it.
	So now we're going to send troops to Eastern Europe.
	And what's going to stop Vlad from calling that bluff?
	So you're a former weapons guy, Fort Bragg, Green Beret.
	Can you just put into context for those who've never worn the cloth of Republic, haven't hung out with the Brotherhood at Vietnam, can you explain what is the geo-strategic weight of 9,000 people in uniform?
	It's a road bump in Eastern Europe.
	I mean, come on.
	That's not going to stop it.
	It's a tripwire.
	You want to play that game?
	Yeah, and we've done that before, and I understand that.
	But a tripwire only works if you back it up.
	You've got to have explosives tied to that tripwire or they're going to blow up.
	And Putin knows we got nothing behind that, but woke.
	We got Jen Psaki, who last time I checked was wearing a pink commie hat.
	You know, they took her before the game even started.
	Not a joke, guys.
	Let's dig it up, Eric, while we're talking.
	This is the chief propagandist of the White House, Jen Psaki, who was Obama's chief propagandist in the State Department.
	I guess That's when Hillary was there, so she was Hillary's chief propagandist.
	There is a photograph out there when she went to meet with Lavrov.
	Lavrov, who just eats these people for lunch, gets people like, you know, Jen Psaki caught in his teeth, standing next to Lavrov and she's wearing a pink Ushanka, she's wearing a pink Soviet-era officer's winter hat with With the Hammer and Sickle Red Star emblem on the front of the hat.
	And she's grinning, Jim.
	You know, to me, that should be as shameful as wearing a KKK hood.
	Right.
	I mean, if you want to think about who the only person or the only people who killed more is the Chinese communists.
	Who are emboldened now.
	They're just probably licking their lips, sitting there, Z's loading ships.
	You know, Putin's going to roll tanks.
	Z is going to likely roll boats across the Formosa Strait.
	And is it Formosa or Taiwan?
	Which one's more worse?
	Formosa pisses them off worse.
	That's right.
	I like to be mad about it.
	Piss them off if we can.
	But the problem is we just have no juice.
	Nobody believes we're a credible deterrent to anyone.
	NATO's not.
	The UN's not.
	Who is?
	It's hard to, you know, the red teaming concept, you know, the US Army now has official red teamers, the guys who advise the commander because they're thinking like the enemy.
	So you're, you know, you're the guy who's trying to think like ISIS or North Korea.
	I want to try together.
	I know this is gonna be painful for us because we love America.
	Let's red team the the Biden White House.
	Okay.
	How did we get here?
	Because, you know, you can get lost down rabbit holes of, you know, conspiracy theories.
	Occam's razor, gotta love it.
	Occam, not a good dude in general, but the Occam's principle of the simplest answer is probably the most likely.
	The only thing I can comment to again and again and again, Jim Hansen, is just rank incompetence.
	Weakness.
	Seasoned with rank incompetence.
	And arrogance.
	And the fact that they believe that people actually care about them.
	You know, I got to play Vlad Putin in a war game here.
	The Kagan's were prepping for a big war game.
	The Institute of War.
	Yeah, they were setting up for a war game.
	We had like 75 people in a room.
	I was playing Vlad Putin.
	That was a good trick to get James!
	It was the blast!
	And the first thing I did, I made a deal with Turkey and blew up the whole game.
	I brought Erdogan in, I said, we'll do energy both ways.
	NATO ally, biggest continental army in NATO, and you just did a side deal with Ankara?
	With Ankara?
	With a side deal with Erdogan, and he bought in, and all of a sudden they're like, hold on, time out.
	We weren't, no one should do that.
	But that's the problem, is they hold all the cards.
	Right.
	We've got none.
	When Trump was in the White House, the Chinese were scared, Putin was scared, Turkey was scared, Iran was scared, because you didn't know if he was going to press that button.
	He didn't want to, and you knew he didn't want to, but you also knew if you stepped over the line, he would.
	I just told a story about Korea when I was in the Oval with the President, when he just said to me, I don't want to deploy troops to North Korea again, to Korea again.
	And you know, you know, he had a heavy heart and he didn't want to get it.
	He wanted to get troops out.
	But if you cross the line, he was going to drop 52 cruise missiles on your head like he did with Assad.
	And that's, that's what you have to have to make your threats and your bluffs believable.
	And here's, here's the problem.
	So they screw up, they open the game, the Biden foreign policy clown car by doing the worst job exiting Afghanistan.
	No, I couldn't even predict it.
	Now, maybe a land war in Europe?
	I mean, what we're done with these piddly little things in the mountains or in the Middle East, we're going to go back to Europe because that's never a big deal.
	I wish they could at least have the credibility to make it a fear for Putin, and I don't think they can.
	No.
	Who's gonna be afraid of a senile old man and these beta boys around him?
	We're talking to Jim Hansen.
	He is the president and the founder of the Security Studies Group, author of Winning the Second Civil War.
	We'll be back after these messages.
	We'll be back after these messages.
	Did what?
	Did the coup to get Jack out at Twitter.
	No.
	Yeah, he bought board seat on Twitter's board.
	Uh-huh.
	And all of a sudden, he was trying to do a forced move last year.
	Has anybody written that up?
	Yeah, it's been out a couple places, but I haven't seen anybody dig into it.
	He hasn't commented.
	It would be interesting, because the new guy at Twitter is worse than the old guy.
	Oh, he's worse.
	He's a true ideologue.
	Jack was just a weirdo.
	Right, he was a psilocybin-nibbling homeless monk, you know?
	I don't know what he was all about.
	Well, we'll see how this goes, man.
	I guess I'm old enough that I can't be drafted, right?
	I don't actually have to go.
	I can be a chicken hawk and sit at home.
	What is the opposite of a chicken hawk?
	I guess I'm a pacifist now.
	You are?
	No.
	I'm not.
	You can't be a pacifist with 10,000 rounds of ammo.
	That doesn't commute.
	That's just the new stuff.
	That was added to the existing supply.
	No, you know what was funny?
	My wife, who is a savage ex-paratrooper herself, when Hillary and Trump were running, she's like, if Hillary wins, she's gonna jack up the price of ammo and guns and everything's gonna go bad, so buy some guns and ammo.
	You got permission from your wife to buy guns?
	That's outrageous!
	She's a lieutenant colonel, man.
	I was only a first sergeant, right?
	So she ordered me to buy and I bought some.
	And she says, how much did you buy?
	And I'm like, I bought like 5,000 rounds.
	She's like, buy more.
	I swear to God, dude, by the time Trump was inaugurated... My wife always asked me, you need more ammo?
	Yes.
	You can never have too much ammo because you can trade ammo for other things.
	But by the time Trump was inaugurated, we had 25,000 rounds in the basement.
	Dude, nice.
	See, people don't want to trade cigarettes anymore.
	It's got to be ammo.
	It's the gold standard.
	Because you'll be trading Bitcoin when the EMP hits.
	Bitcoin.
	I'll be trading pictures of apes.
	I got a big sack full of JPEGs of apes that are gonna... What the hell?
	Hey, do you want a picture of an ape?
	No, but you got some ammo?
	Hurrah for the NFTs.
	Behold!
	Not gonna work.
	I got diamonds, unset diamonds, gold and bullets are the things that'll get us through.
	I've watched enough zombie movies.
	I know how this stuff works.
	I was in a long DM thread with zombie followers and I just said, Bitcoin is a scam.
	And he wrote these long DMs.
	It's going to save the planet.
	Dude, if you thought fiat currency was bad.
	Bitcoin's even worse!
	Here's the thing, I was talking to Palmer Luckey, the guy who invented Oculus, and he's got a new company, he does a lot of really smart stuff, but he's a brilliant guy, and I was talking with him, we were talking about Bitcoin, and I said, look, cryptocurrencies are a toy.
	Blockchain!
	Yes.
	It's a tool.
	Right.
	Now, the validating technology underneath it is real.
	And you can use that for a lot of things.
	But my argument is... Crypto is a cult.
	But my argument is, blockchain isn't gold.
	Blockchain is man-made.
	Blockchain, if man made it, man can break it.
	And the idea that it's this mystical force that is absolutely, you know, virginal and cannot be, you know, corrupted.
	Come on, dude.
	No, you put enough computers against it, you can break it.
	Sure.
	What it does is it gives you a peer-to-peer way to make trades that validate anything.
	Right. Right. Right. Right. Right. Right.
	Portions of America First are brought to you in part by Stand With Israel Tour.
	I love the bots who DM me and misspell my name.
	Seriously, try harder, honestly.
	We're having great, great discussions offline, in the breaks, especially about Bitcoin.
	We'll save that for another day with our good buddy Jim Hansen.
	He is the president and founder of the Security Studies Group and sometime guest host of this show, the author of Winning the Second Civil War Without Firing a Shot, But If You Got Lots of Ammo.
	Hey, write that up, Media Matters.
	Zakiput.
	Go on, have some fun.
	We've got to talk about, yeah, you mentioned it.
	You mentioned what Afghanistan says to the world.
	I want to remind everybody, thank you to Phil in Philadelphia.
	We recognize the brilliance of our callers.
	He said we need a new item on our store that memorializes the Americans abandoned in Afghanistan and the 13 American warfighters murdered, Murdered because of this feckless White House.
	It's up there.
	It's on the website.
	It is our 3 by 5 flag in the colors of Afghanistan.
	Abandoned Americans who are not forgotten and 13 stars for those who were murdered.
	Check out the t-shirt, the flag, everything made in America at our store, whether it's the America First gear, The Let's Go Branding Gear, the hats, the mugs, you name it.
	Go there, SebGorkerStore.com.
	Tell the world that you will not forget SebGorkerStore.com.
	That's S-E-B-G-O-R-K-E-R, SebGorkerStore.com.
	You've written the book on Division in America.
	Let's talk about division inside the armed forces.
	It's not just the lack of leadership in the White House.
	I need to ask you this.
	This is a longer discussion.
	But what we've seen in terms of political correctness infecting our military, how long is that going to take to fix?
	We've got to wait three years for a new commander in chief.
	Can you turn that off like a faucet?
	What is it going to take?
	Oh no, you absolutely can't, because what's happened is that when the incentive is to be woke, then you get promoted for being woke, and so the wokest generals rise up the food chain.
	So you're rewarded for being politically correct.
	Yeah, and the problem is that takes time to move on.
	It takes will.
	You know, it's going to take, you're going to have to put in a defense secretary who just does not give.
	Routes it out.
	Yeah!
	And takes them out.
	But in the short term, we, as a country, I think the division is between those who think you can fake with military force because of our history and those of us who now know no one's scared of us anymore because of our actions.
	What was the last war we won?
	You know, that's the real problem.
	If we could poke our fist on, you know, and bang on the table like Khrushchev and say, don't do this or don't do that.
	Well, the answer from tyrants is why?
	Why?
	What are we scared of?
	What are you going to do?
	You are a former Green Beret.
	What are you hearing from Bragg?
	I'm hearing even Bragg, which is the least politically correct entity on the planet.
	People in the cadre there, the training staff, are telling me it's infected them as well.
	They're demoralized.
	You saw that thing where the female who went through the Air Force combat controllers thing said, they pushed me through.
	I tried to quit.
	They're like, no, you didn't.
	We'll fix that.
	And they played a game, and they're changing the standards.
	It's one thing if you want to say a woman can make it through at the standard, but once you start playing that game, you suck the life out of everybody.
	And now we've got a military that not only is not well-trained, or not as well-trained as it should be, because there are.
	I don't want to dog anybody.
	But we've got a military that's not respected overseas.
	That makes anything you want to use them to do more difficult.
	And that's something that's not going to change overnight.
	So if we do have, what happens if Putin rolls tanks and we got 9,000 troops there?
	You know, nobody wanted to be in the Fulda Gap when the wall was up, right?
	Well, that's about where they're going to be.
	And these arguments from Bader Blinken and others that, oh, we're talking to our allies and our allies.
	I mean, what, what, what expeditionary capacity does NATO have?
	Nobody on earth has an actual expeditionary military except us.
	Bingo!
	Alright, the Chinese are funky at it.
	French used to.
	Belgians did 50 years ago.
	Not even the Brits do.
	They can't even get there by train in any meaningful way.
	So the question is, and we're not going to.
	That's what really matters.
	They know we're not going to, so why are we pretending?
	You know, the game should have been.
	Blinken said, I don't want to put on sanctions now because I lose them if I use them.
	Well, if you use them, you show them the pain.
	Right.
	Right now, you're relying on the fact that maybe, oh, maybe we'll hurt you later.
	No, you're doing something wrong.
	You're threatening a sovereign nation who's a friend of ours, who we almost invited into NATO.
	Who gave up their nukes because we said we'd look after you.
	Yeah, that was a damn lie, wasn't it?
	I think that was the Budapest Accords.
	Hey, you don't need those nukes, Ukraine.
	Hand them over.
	We'll look after you.
	Yeah, trust us.
	I mean, it's not good to be U.S.
	ally these days, and we've got to fix that.
	As we said when we were in the White House, very simple motto, borrowed from the devil dogs, no better friend, no worse enemy.
	Today, it is the reverse.
	He's Jim Hansen, follow him right now, Jim Hansen, D.C.

	We sold 300 of these custom 1911s, beautifully made in 48 hours.
	It was crazy.
	They didn't think they would sell so quickly.
	It says the Second Amendment is a civil right on one side of the beautifully bronze, burnt bronze slide.
	On the other side, it says the Second Amendment.
	No, it says America first.
	I'm on the aluminum grips.

	Audio, video clips, Morgan Zeggers for the next hour one-on-one.
	But I'm going to take your calls.
	Let's go to Joe, Illinois.
	Welcome.
	Line one.
	Dr. G. Yes, sir.
	I full well remember when our boss was dealing with this punk in North Korea.
	The guy with the funny haircut, right?
	Shooting missiles over Japan and What the boss did was simply pull in a Trident II submarine, nuclear submarine, and dock it in a naval port in South Korea.
	And the next thing you know, they were shaking hands in the DMZ.
	Look, it's not just where we placed our submarines and how... I'm so proud of the first things we did in the transition team.
	So after the election, after we won, we set up one of... I think perhaps the first call for the president-elect was with Prime Minister Abe of Japan.
	So not only that, but do you remember what we did with Taiwan?
	2018.
	After years, Bush, Bush promised this, but he didn't do it.
	We signed the deal.
	We okayed the deal to allow US companies to provide technology to Taiwan to build submarines to protect themselves.
	We didn't have to invade anyone.
	We didn't have to invade China, but we sent a message.
	Okay, Taiwan is an independent nation and here U.S.
	companies will be allowed to work with their Taiwanese counterparts to build a self-defense capability.
	So, Joe, you nailed it.
	Absolutely.
	We didn't have to bang our chests.
	We didn't have to make false promises about sanctions here, sanctions there.
	We took actions short of invading anyone that sent a message to all tyrants.
	Great call, Joe.
	Stay on the line.
	Let's get Joe an America First hat.
	You can get all of our gear at SebGorkaStore.com.

	Matt, North Carolina, line two.
	Hello, Dr. Gorka, commander of Conservative Radio.
	Thank you.
	Thank you kindly.
	You're welcome.
	Now, in your professional opinion, as one who worked at the White House, who, what American, except involved in the military-industrial complex, would want America to go to war with Russia, in your opinion, sir?
	Oh, man, that's a great question.
	We could spend hours on that.
	Thank you.
	Thank you, Matt.
	Look, I don't want to get into conspiracy theories, but there is a problem with having a general who is constitutionally not allowed to be the Secretary of Defense because he retired too soon to become the Secretary of Defense.
	That's Lloyd Austin, who is on the board of Raytheon, one of the biggest arms manufacturers in the United States.
	That guy is the Secretary of Defense.
	So that kind of makes you raise an eyebrow or, you know, ask questions that the mainstream media doesn't want to ask.
	Beyond that, Matt, I think it's very clear.
	I think we have those who are ideologically interested, not just the people who want to make money out of wars.
	It is the neoconservatives who are out of favor, who Trump didn't listen to, couldn't care less about.
	Those individuals believe that to this day.
	I mean, we've had, what was it?
	We've had betrayers.
	Betrayers!
	He gave an interview in the Wall Street Journal just a few months ago, where he said, well, you know, we should stay in Afghanistan because 20 years to create a democracy, how could you be so impatient?
	We need to stay there and have more troops there for, what, 100 years, Petraeus?
	And then we've got people who back former generals like Petraeus, like Bill Kristol, who say, well, democracy has to exist everywhere.
	And the way you create it is through the gun barrel.
	The people who believe you could turn Afghanistan or Iraq into functioning Middle Eastern or Central Asian versions of Switzerland.
	These people are insane, but they're part of the swamp.
	So whether it's the neoconservatives, whether it's those who actually make a lot of money out of war, it's not in short supply.
	So thank you, Matt, for your great, great question.
	And the fact is, that's why Donald Trump was a threat, because Donald Trump, what did he call it?
	Stupid wars.
	Dumb wars.
	Trillions, literally trillions expended.
	And tens of thousands of Americans killed or wounded.
	And he wanted to put a stop to that.
	And he did, for four years.
	But that's why they had to get rid of him.
	But he'll be back.
	If we do our homework, if we win the midterms, I guarantee you, he'll be back.
	Dear friends, if you have homeowners insurance, you have it for a good reason.
	Why?
	Because without it, a fire, a flood, a burglary could destroy you financially.
	But there's another major crime your homeowners policy does not cover, and it's called home title fraud.
	Home title fraud is one of the fastest growing crimes in America.
	And it too can ruin you financially.
	Which is why you need home title lock.
	Title fraud happens when a criminal forges your signature on documents stating that you sold your home to him.
	Then he takes out loans against your home and leaves you with the payments.
	You will spend a fortune in legal fees trying to prove you didn't commit fraud.
	Home Title Lock puts a barrier around your home's title.
	The instant they detect anyone from a cyber thief to a renter to a relative trying to forge their way onto your title, they shut it down.

	Okay - Yeah.
	- Mic's on.
	So for any last video cuts you wanna play here, I think Gingrich is pretty good.
	- Yes, I definitely wanna do Gingrich.
	- They're already writing hit pieces about what he said.
	- Okay.
	Can I quickly hear three?
	- When will you launch Truth Social?
	- Well, for sure we'll launch it by the end of this quarter.
	So one of the challenges that we have with big tech is that they don't want us to succeed.
	So we have to make sure that not only we build all of our own infrastructure as much as possible, but we also have to vet the partners that we will have.
	So, for example, Rumble, which is a YouTube alternative, we're going to be partnering with them on certain aspects.
	They're one of the only big social media companies that have actually been able to get a fortified beachhead and survive against big tech.
	So we're looking for partners like that that will ensure, to the best of our ability, that once we do go live, we will have a safe place that big tech cannot cancel.
	Thanks.
	Stand by.
	With the deepest voice in talk radio, Dr. Sebastian Gorka.
	Is it deeper than deep voice, Dave?
	I don't know.
	I think I have to have a couple of cigars tonight.
	That always helps.
	We are back and we have to salute I think perhaps the smartest guy in politics.
	I wish he were 20 years younger than Speaker of the House.
	We need Newt back.
	This is what he had to say about Nancy's start chamber.
	The one and only Newt Gingrich.
	They are breaking the rules.
	They are going after people in a way which is reminiscent of the British monarchy using closed-door systems that we outlawed deliberately because we'd seen it.
	We knew what it was like.
	And they're running over people's civil liberties.
	And what they need to understand is on January 4th next year, You're going to have a Republican majority in the House and a Republican majority in the Senate, and all these people who have been so tough and so mean and so nasty are going to be delivered subpoenas for every document, every conversation, every tweet, every email, because I think it's clear that these are people who are literally just running over the law.
	Pursuing innocent people, causing them to spend thousands and thousands of dollars in legal fees for no justification.
	And it's basically a lynch mob.
	And unfortunately, the Attorney General of the United States has joined that lynch mob and is totally misusing the FBI.
	And I think when you have a Republican Congress, this is all going to come crashing down and the wolves are going to find out that they're now sheep.
	And they're the ones who are, in fact, going to, I think, face a real risk of jail for the kind of laws they're breaking.
	The wolves are now sheep.
	That was on the great Maria Bartiromo show, one of the few good people left at Fox.
	He's so right.
	People, innocent people, spending thousands of dollars.
	I don't know if it's even You're right of me to say so.
	How much I've spent just for one, one motion to quash in a district court.
	Maybe I'll tell you guys, but it wasn't cheap.
	But I decided we have to fight.
	Why?
	Because if you don't fight, they think they can get away with it.
	It's like Andrew Breitbart taught us.
	The thing he detested the most.
	We're bullies.
	And these people were bullies.
	They think because they have the gavel, because they can win elections, that they can do whatever they want.
	It's right.
	We've seen this all before.
	That's why our founding fathers created a system to protect us from star chambers.
	They protect us from politicians who think they can destroy you because you disagree with them politically.
	They're doing exactly that with my friend Mike Lindell.
	We played you the audio of the phone conversation with his bank, Heartland Financial in Minnesota, that shut down nine of his bank accounts, including his personal bank account.
	Why?
	Did he commit any crime?
	No!
	But he's a conservative.
	Will you support Mike?
	Let's show the left who we are and how we stand up to the bullies.

	Do you need me to send any audio on this?
	Eric.
	This is just for TriCaster.
	Yeah, this is just video, so you don't need to pay attention.
	Give me a moment here.
	At some point I'll just fade that in.
	Or do you not want a graphic on screen?
	Come in with that, start with that, and then as I start talking, fade it out.

	Awesome.
	Alright.
	How big is that file?
	Can you send that to me, or how do we do that?
	It's pretty short, I should be able to email it.
	Alright, try emailing that to me.
	Yep, got it.
	Thank you.
	Thank you. .
	The End
	Thank you.
	Thank you, School Board and Superintendent Bridges, for not using your power to push back on the state of Illinois about the mask mandate.
	We get to wear masks all day, every day now.
	Isn't that great?
	Thank you for forcing me to wear masks so I no longer have to brush my teeth or wash my face.
	Seriously, my life is so much easier.
	I don't wear glasses, but if I did, I would thank you for concealing my eyes with the fog from my breath, too.
	Thank you for teaching students that our own mental health is much less important than making triple vaccinated adults feel safe.
	Thank you for teaching me that even the most minute risk is not worth taking.
	Life is best when you take the path of least resistance, with no chance of failure, and definitely no chance of catching a cold.
	Thank you for not reaching out to the students to ask how we feel about masks, because if you did, the majority of students would say that they hate masks and then you might second guess your decision to make us wear them.
	Thank you for allowing me to experience the anxiety associated with never seeing facial expressions.
	Thank you for teaching us that we should never question authority or think critically, but instead we should follow whatever the people in charge tell us to do.
	Obedience is best.
	Obedience is best.
	You will obey.
	That is a high school honors student.
	Eric, look her name up for me.
	Text it to me because I want to recognize her.
	That was just a few days ago in the Naperville School District.
	And she was standing up for her rights, using a little bit of sarcasm, but at least putting a face to her views.
	Something interesting is happening in America, and we are going to unpack it with a woman who is fighting every single day against socialism.
	From the Young Americans Against Socialism, Morgan Zegers.
	Welcome to America First.
	Thanks for having me.
	So, you have a fascinating story you've told on our show previously.
	We can talk about it later, but let's kind of start backwards based upon that clip I just played you.
	I don't want to be over-optimistic if we don't have the requisite evidence, but when you see, not parents, but students standing up in public making speeches like that, is this a sign that Finally Americans are coming to their senses and enough people are pushing back on socialism as you have taught them.
	Well, that's the thing.
	This is an open-ended question at this point of what's going to happen to future generations of America based on what they experienced during COVID.
	Now, on one hand, you could say a lot of people are going to turn out like this really courageous student that we just saw, and I give her a lot of kudos.
	I give her a lot of credit.
	That was very, very courageous.
	I'm worried because it could turn out like that, but it also could be a situation where we're teaching children to obey.
	We're teaching them to not question authority.
	And we're teaching them that this is the government's role in our lives to tell us what we can and cannot do, that they give us our rights based on what the risks are to whatever crisis they declare.
	So I think right now it's important for people like us and the people listening to understand we need to connect the dots right now, in this moment, before the left takes over control of our generation's minds and really teaches them to embrace government's role in our lives in the way that we've seen over COVID.
	So, fabulous answer.
	That is why you do what you do and why you have managed to be so successful in such a short time.
	For those who aren't familiar with your incredible story, what motivated you to do what you're doing?
	Will you share with us what happened to you in college and what motivated you to get involved in this fight?
	Of course.
	Well, we are in our third year now as a non-profit, Young Americans Against Socialism.
	And it all started back when I was in college.
	So this is around the time AOC's coming to power, the term democratic socialism was being normalized, and numbers were showing that more than half of people my age wanted socialism over capitalism.
	Hang on, let's just stop that.
	Let's stop there and make sure everybody understands.
	These are not one woman's opinion.
	These are serious surveys from the Victims of Communism Memorial Foundation, from YouGov, a massive survey polling company, that state two-thirds, up to two-thirds, of young Americans would prefer to live in a socialist or even communist America.
	That is the Yes, thank you.
	So we see these numbers, right?
	And it's just hard to visualize that so many young people would do this and you wonder how could it be?
	And I thought that too until I went to college and I had a first-hand experience.
	What happened to me is my roommate in college Had a poster of Mao Zedong, Lenin, Stalin, Karl Marx, and Fidel Castro on her wall.
	And we had an engagement where I asked her why she would have a poster of these mass murderers and dictators that I knew were terrible people.
	And you would think that I would know what to say next.
	What would I say when I met a communist?
	But I really didn't, I'll be honest.
	She told me she was a communist and that her ideas would bring progress and justice and help the working class people of America because right now they're really downtrodden.
	And I had no idea what to say, and I was very disappointed in myself.
	And considering the statistics that we were seeing, I realized that a lot of young people that maybe do believe in freedom, or maybe find themselves in the middle of the road, and are hearing these great promises from the left, they just don't know what to say to this very false and misleading narrative.
	So I founded the nonprofit.
	What we do is mostly interview survivors from socialist and communist countries.
	And we also make educational videos on history, economics, and basic policy.
	So we have a really great time, and if any parents out there or any students want to learn, you can go to fightsocialism.org.
	All right, we're going to be talking about the organization.
	We're going to be spreading the URLs, telling people to listen to your podcast.
	So this is the poster that she's talking about.
	It says, welcome to the party.
	I'm just pulling it up on my phone here.
	It's got Lenin, Mao, Mao who only killed 60 million Chinese.
	It's got Fidel Castro, Marx, and Stalin.
	So go come back.
	Okay, so there's the poster.
	When we first had this conversation, I looked for this poster online, and I could find it for sale at Walmart.
	Good news is I had a little campaign.
	I had a couple of people, followers, who wrote to Walmart, emailed Walmart, As of last week, it was no longer available at Walmart.
	I am looking at Amazon's page.
	It is still available at Amazon.
	You might want to tell Amazon what you think about selling a poster that celebrates mass murderers, the greatest mass murderers in history.
	So, God bless you for having that moment where you realized you need to have the intellectual, the rhetorical ammunition Will you share with us, because I've come to the conclusion this is perhaps the most effective tool we have, why you chose, how you came to the realization that it is the stories of those who have lived under socialism that are the key weapon we have to win this war?
	Of course.
	Well, I think it's very well understood at this point.
	Conservatives and pro-freedom people, we really struggle with emotion, and the left is so good at it.
	They really only have that.
	While our side, the pro-freedom side, has statistics and data and history and everything for us to utilize, but unfortunately, young, impressionable minds that are well-intentioned and they're caring, they fall for the radical left.
	And so I encourage people to not baby my generation.
	Instead, empower them with information.
	Let them know you're being lied to and you deserve the truth.
	You deserve the information that will set you free from this slavery that we're seeing.
	And by that I mean mental slavery.
	The other aspect of it, when you have the emotional stories, when you have the first-hand experiences, it brings an element of peer rationale, which was proven by a study at Michigan State University to be the most effective way to change a young person's mind with really hard-to-understand topics.
	It's peer-to-peer communication, it's deemed peer rationale, and I think that really is utilized in first-hand testimony direct-to-camera stories.
	She's using the fancy words, she's done her research, so what you're talking about is people from the same age cohort, the same demographic, being approached with narratives from people who've actually lived... What is it the phrase the left uses?
	The lived experience, correct Morgan?
	Yes, I mean they are all about the sob stories, but for them their sob stories have to do with being misgendered on accident in public.
	I know you out there, you don't go out and try and ruin someone's day by calling them the wrong pronoun, and so if you think about how much they care about standing up for the oppressed, how much they want justice, it's really important for us to explain to them that there are plenty of opportunities to fight for justice and stand up for oppressed people across this world, but it's not on the side of the left.
	It's actually fighting for people's freedom and basic human rights that are being destroyed in socialist and communist countries.
	History tells a very clear tale, and unfortunately my generation just isn't getting that in the public education system.

	The End You said you realized the magnitude of the situation.
	You realized you didn't have the requisite tools.
	When you were challenged by somebody in college, you said, yes, I'm a communist and don't you love my poster of mass murderers?
	Well, walk us through what you've learned in the last three years.
	Let's replay that.
	Say Morgan Zegers is going to graduate school and You meet me and I'm your graduate school colleague, and I say, yes, I'm a communist.
	And would you want to come to the next Democratic Socialists of America meeting with me?
	After three years of working this, what is your approach?
	What do you say to the person who says, yes, I'm an American and I'm a communist?
	Oh, boy.
	So I would say over the three years, I've come up with a few clear talking points that the left will push at you and they think they're going to win every time.
	It's very basic once you actually break it down.
	One of the key ones, I'm sure you've heard this, is they think that democratic socialism is different from socialism.
	It's more of a Nordic European style of socialism and not what happened in Venezuela or Cuba or the rest of Cuban history.
	So we want to live in, I don't know, Sweden, not Cuba.
	Yeah, exactly.
	And so breaking that one down for them right away is to just explain that socialist dictators like Venezuela's Chavez, they were democratically elected into power and then they started to seize the means of production because socialism is an economic system where the government takes over the means of production.
	The other thing is that Nordic Europe is private.
	It's full of private economies and they just have massively high taxes and government programs.
	So differentiating the two is really helpful for young people to understand.
	Because this isn't something that they hear all the time.
	Instead, they hear very basic lies from people like AOC.
	The next step of this is the socialists will tell them that by improving and moving to a socialist economy, the people have the power and the people will own the means of production.
	The people will be in charge of everything, not the evil, greedy business owners.
	But breaking it down for them in the basic way of saying that it's the government that now owns and controls the economy and provides you every service and good Is a whole new ballgame.
	It's not what AOC is telling them, but when we break that down for them, it's important.
	And you mentioned the Victims of Communism poll, Dr. Gorka, that mentioned 60 or 70% of young Americans would vote for a socialist right now.
	That same poll from 2020 said that only 5 to 6% of young Americans actually trust the government.
	Yeah, so there's a bit of a contradiction here that you don't trust the government, you're leery of it, but you buy into an ideology that would give the government total control over you.
	So how do you point this out?
	I mean, because really you're talking about Putting it politely, cognitive dissonance or ignorance.
	And when you're trying to convince people to come over to your understanding, you don't want to get their hackles up.
	You don't want to say, hey, you're stupid.
	Have you thought about the ramifications of if you don't like government, you want a bigger government?
	How dumb are you?
	How do you walk that tightrope to say, Well, let's have a Socratic discussion.
	Give us some more tools, because we have millions of listeners, and I know they've got friends, kids, grandkids who are indoctrinated.
	How do you reel them into reality?
	Yeah, it's very simple.
	Once you think about it, we are not dealing with one big audience that all wants to turn America into a communist regime, right?
	Instead, you have to break it down of, okay, you have this small group of radicals that are teaching our children and promising them That socialism will deliver this amazing progressive society that's never been seen before.
	In reality, that's a small, small group, and they are very powerful and influential, but at the end of the day, most young Americans that say they want socialism have probably never even heard the term seizing the means of production or nationalizing an industry.
	And so that's very good for our side.
	I think, and I hope you guys understand this, the more we make fun of young Americans for wanting socialism, for saying the basic talking points they've been that have been drilled into their head in the classrooms, the more we're just going to push them into the loving arms of people like AOC, who give them very feel-good talking points.
	What we have to do is respect young Americans as individuals that are capable of making a serious decision if they're given the responsibility and the facts and the information.
	They just aren't getting that.
	And so it's very basic on that level.
	And when you explain to them that this is how socialism works, it's trusting the government to provide you services, And what I like to do with these survivor testimonies is to explain why that's dangerous.
	We can't just say it doesn't work.
	We can't just say it makes the shelves empty.
	We can't just say that it makes the quality go down or the prices go up because it just doesn't connect with young people.
	Instead, you have to make it clear.
	When the government provides you that, and they are the only provider of that service or good, they will demand that you do things in exchange for now receiving that service or good.
	And that is when you get into a situation of deadly and dangerous reliance.
	On the government, it's when things get bad.
	And the survivor testimonies paint that clear picture for young people.

	Morgan, have you, in military, so you know my background is Nash security.
	In military, in analysis for warfare, there's a concept from Clausewitz, the most famous Western strategist, that you look for the center of gravity of the enemy.
	There is a culminating point, there is a place where if you attack that, it all falls apart.
	Have you identified that?
	Well, that's where the challenge lies.
	of gravity of the movement of the ideology we face today.
	Several people say it's the teacher colleges.
	It's the neo-Marxism in the teachers' colleges that becomes the funnel into the high schools, into the colleges.
	Is it somewhere else?
	Do you agree?
	Where is the most pernicious purveyor of the new left ideology?
	Well, that's where the challenge lies.
	I hope everyone listening understands that this is going to take a multifaceted, decades-long approach to truly fix and to truly preserve this republic.
	Now, I'm excited by that because I want a life of service.
	And so I'm like, throw me in.
	I've got this.
	You're ready for this career, Exactly I am ready for this and I want everybody to understand this is going to be a lifetime of service if we want to make serious changes The first thing, I guess when you look at the center of gravity, it would be the education system, but I encourage you guys to understand it's not just starting with the colleges.
	A lot of people think, we gotta fix the colleges, all these Marxist professors.
	We need to be starting a lot earlier.
	I'm talking at least middle school and high school.
	We need to fix the curriculum that's in public schools, we have to make it easier to get kids out of public school and promote school choice and homeschooling and alternative options, but We have to understand, young people aren't getting the basics in middle school and high school.
	So then when they go to college, they have no intellectual ammunition to fight back and defend themselves against the Marxist professor's lies.
	So that's this terrible cycle that we're pushing kids through.
	We also then assume that the kids are going to college and then maturing, maybe getting a little older, more conservative as they get more reason in their mind and their brain capabilities.
	But that's just not happening anymore.
	Instead, they are being completely indoctrinated.
	They are graduating and then they are going off.
	We are now two generations, Millennials and Gen Z, deep of this serious indoctrination at least.
	So they're graduating, they're going off to work in a bureaucracy in our government, they're becoming politicians, they're joining corporate offices, and they are spreading this all around the country.
	So that's really the big focus here is thinking about how we can rethink education and take leadership of our communities and our families and our own individual lives to fix this on every level.
	Thank you.
	Thank you. .

	It's our new family Gorka.locals.com.
	That's G-O-R-K-A.locals.com Morgan let me ask you you talked about the colleges how we have to go deeper and deeper to the the root of what's happening Not just in the colleges, but in the high schools What is the role of?
	The media, and especially social media.
	President Trump's new platform, Social Truth, is just about to launch.
	Lots of excitement.
	New partnership with Rumble.
	Do you welcome these initiatives or do you think we're just creating echo chambers for patriots and we're not going to reach out to those who need to be brought over to our side?
	Of course.
	I'm not an absolutist on this.
	I don't think we should all just leave the platforms and then migrate over to the alternatives.
	I think we need to utilize all options here.
	But that's the key word.
	We need options and we need the ability to promote our voices when we only operate on the big tech platforms and we don't give these new platforms a chance.
	We are giving big tech an opportunity to completely shut us off from an audience to completely shut us off from the people that we're trying to reach.
	And so I am a big fan of staying on the platforms not self-censoring make them kick us off if that's really what they want to do make them burn our books, but at It's not as violent to burn our books these days because all they have to do is have some employee at the lower level shadow ban us with some algorithm.
	So I encourage everybody... Or ban our books on Amazon, which we've seen literally de-platform some author's work because somebody at Amazon who did gender studies in college doesn't like it.
	Exactly.
	It's a less violent approach and a more PR friendly version of book burning that we're seeing here with this totalitarian big tech.
	I will say though, it's kind of fascinating for me because usually in socialism, it's bad because the government takes over major industries and they start utilizing them for their own good.
	We see that with government mass media in communist regimes, but the private tech companies and media companies are just willingly doing the government's dirty work.
	So that's what's so unique about America.
	I would say we have this oligarchy of big tech companies, Silicon Valley, And just corporate companies across this country with all of their products siding with big government against the people.
	This deserves unpacking, especially as a child of those who, when they were children, suffered from fascist occupation.
	And fascism has this marriage between the corporate sphere and the state.
	That's what Hitler did, and that's what Mussolini did.
	And my parents, who then suffered after the fascist regime fell from communist oppression, my father ending up in a political prison.
	It sounds weird to say this as the child of survivors of those regimes, but you just were so accurate.
	In America, or in the West, because this isn't unique to us, it's worse than a communist dictatorship because In Hungary, where my parents came from, in the Soviet Union, media had to comply.
	The power centers had to comply.
	If you worked for Izvestia or TASS or a journalist, your life depended upon supporting the state.
	Jack Dorsey at Twitter, Mark Zuckerberg, is willingly doing it.
	In fact, Zuckerberg is dropping $400 million in the last election to help his friends win that election and privatize them.
	So, actually, Morgan, Because they're willingly being political actors and censoring those they politically disagree with, we could be in an even more significantly oppressive system in comparison.
	Yes, and that is exactly why I mentioned earlier that center of gravity is the education system.
	If you think about it, I am so worried about this.
	We have not been teaching Americans about things like the Cultural Revolution in China, where people would report their family members and their friends, and they were encouraged by the government to do so if they were creating an unsafe environment, or if they were committing wrong-think, and it led to millions of people dying.
	We don't teach them that Stalin's propaganda wheel would delete people from pictures, and then release the picture as if nothing ever happened.
	When we don't teach these very specific examples, we are now repeating it in America, and people have no idea, no red flags go off in our head, Because we don't see this behavior as red flag worthy.
	That's when you think about it.
	It's not just this.
	Oh, we got to worry about the kids.
	We are now creating generations of Americans that are willingly becoming mini tyrants in their own neighborhoods.
	Because if you saw that poll.
	I think about 50% of Democrats said that they supported things like locking people down and using house arrest on anybody that did not commit to getting a vaccine.
	This is some really scary stuff.
	And it's not just me being a fear monger.
	I'm being real here.
	We didn't educate people about these dangers and now we are repeating it.
	And it's exactly what was doomed to happen one way or another.
	And unfortunately, a pandemic hit and the left always uses moments of crises.
	moments of fear to push their radical agendas.
	I'm going to ask you about the COVID and the China virus in a second, but I just want to hammer this home because I know somebody's saying, how can Gawker say that?
	How can Morgan say that?
	Here's one piece of evidence.
	President Trump on one platform, one platform alone, had more than 90 million followers.
	Twitter wasn't ordered by the Biden White House to do anything.
	Twitter, by themselves, unpersonned, in an Orwellian fashion, deleted Donald Trump from their platform.
	Then, of course, Facebook, then Instagram.
	That's what they did willingly.
	I don't think he was too woke.
	He was the exact opposite.
	You know what woke means?
	It means you're a loser.
	Everything woke.
	Everything woke.
	It's true. It's true.
	It's true.
	. .
	The End
	We talked about the exploitation of fear.
	Yeah.
	There's a kind of dual-edged aspect to the last two years, a kind of Janus two-faced reality.
	On the one hand, amazing things happening because we played that audio from that high school student standing up to the school board.
	We've had parents across Virginia, across New York saying, No, you're not masking my kids.
	No, you're not teaching them critical race theory, which is bigotry.
	And elections are won by, you know, relatively milquetoast candidates like Glenn Youngkin after that.
	So you see this waking up.
	On the flip side, the thing that, as somebody who chose this nation, it breaks my heart to see Almost a complete lack of resistance to the shutdown.
	I mean, one restaurant owner in California becomes a new story.
	One bar owner in New Jersey, where it should have been hundreds, if not thousands of Americans who said, no, you're not taking my livelihood away from me.
	No, you're not taking the livelihood of my employees away from me.
	So how do you, what is your balance sheet for the last two years in terms of Americans waking up to the reality and then lots of Americans seemingly acquiescing to little fascists like Fauci.
	Of course.
	I mean, before COVID, I don't know if I've told you this, I used to do speeches on college campuses and I still do, but my speech used to be about the steps of a radical leftist takeover and they would change the language.
	They would use Marxism with cultural Marxism or classic economic Marxism where they divide the classes.
	And then my last talking point for the kids, was how the left will utilize a moment of crisis.
	And so I would talk about how Lenin had done this.
	Stalin had done this.
	Mao had done this.
	And I would talk about how the left was pushing climate change by telling us we need to seize the means of production in America.
	We need to get rid of capitalism because the world is ending in 10 years.
	And to tell kids that they should be scared of the future in general.
	They should be scared to bring children into this world.
	AOC has gotten on stage and cried.
	about how she's scared to give birth to children because she doesn't want to bring them into climate apocalypse and then tell them the only solution is socialism.
	That doesn't exactly add up.
	And so I would warn them about this.
	But what do you know?
	COVID then hit and a lot of people like myself and you, I'm sure, we saw this and we said, be careful what happens when you give up your freedoms for a quick moment during a crisis to feel more secure.
	Think of freedom versus security and safety.
	What would you rather have?
	And now we are years into this, and unfortunately it's taking people way too long to understand what's really happening here.
	This goes back to a lot of situations, whether it's the education system's failures, but also people just taking freedom for granted in America.
	They have no idea about our nation's founding and how unique and fragile this system really is, all at the same time as the left is breaking down our system by trying to get rid of things like the filibuster, the electoral college, pack the courts, and just our basic economic system of capitalism.
	So a lot of serious things are happening here.
	Some people aren't even taking it seriously yet.
	Some are just waking up, but a lot of us are working really hard.
	It's just really a shame that not enough people have stood up.
	I hate seeing those videos of the individual business owners all alone, maybe on a viral video, but all alone standing up against a weird bureaucratic health employee from a department that's coming to shut them down.
	And they have the police officers there and the police officers are siding with this bureaucrat against the small business owner who's saying, I need to put food on the table.
	This is not how it should be going here in America.
	And it breaks my heart to see it now still in 2022.
	Yeah.
	I want to give us a fuller picture of the incredible work you're doing.
	So you're not just illuminating the threats of socialism and communism.
	You're actually doing the flip side of what's great about America and why we are the greatest nation.
	Last year I had an idea.
	People need to be familiar with the Federalist Papers.
	And I'm just going to read them onto a podcast and at least people will be able to listen to them.
	And then I sadly find out or more happily find out that Morgan Zegers is already doing it.
	She's not reading them.
	She's analyzing them with a colleague.
	So tell us about this other podcast and why you decided.
	Well, I know why it was important to me.
	Why did you choose to say, OK, let's do it's 2021 or 2022.
	And we're going to talk about the Federalist Papers.
	Yeah, well, I've got to say, so I'm 25 and a lot of people will ask me, how the heck did you end up conservative or just even appreciative of the freedoms we have here?
	And I say it's all because my parents taught me to appreciate history and comparative history in terms of how far we've come as a nation and a world, thanks to American Western values.
	And so I really am thankful for my parents for that.
	But Turning Point USA is a really great student organization.
	And they reached out to me because they identified that, yes, I am a history nerd, and they thought it would be a great idea to do A podcast called Freedom Papers, where we break down the ratification debate back in 1787, because a lot of young Americans have not read any of the Federalist Papers or the Anti-Federalist Papers.
	So each episode we do, we go 1 through 85, we include the Anti-Federalist arguments in all of them, and it's been a really good time, we hope this is a great resource for students, to understand what our founders were looking at, what they were evaluating through previous human history, when they were writing our form of government that was eventually the ratified U.S.
	Constitution.
	It's just a really, really fulfilling project for me, and I'm thankful that Turning Point would do that.
	Freedom Papers is the podcast.
	We're talking to Morgan Segers.
	She's the co-host.
	And long before you did that, long before you were a superstar in terms of fighting socialism, you were funding yourself through college by doing what, Morgan?
	Well, I paid for college with my wooden flags that I make in my workshop.
	I learned how to make them on YouTube, and my dad and I started making them for fun.
	We would donate them.
	To VFW fundraisers, there's a lot of veterans out there with cancer from things like Agent Orange in Vietnam.
	And so we started donating them, we started giving them away, and people wanted to buy them.
	So I made it a business, and now we are on year four, and we are just killing the game.
	Partly because you and a lot of really other great conservative leaders out there have been promoting the work that I do in the workshop.
	So thank you for that.
	And if anybody wants to buy a flag from me, I work so hard, I'm like a little modern day Betsy Ross.
	I think somebody recently called me that, and it was the greatest compliment ever.
	But you can go to ZegersFreedomFlags.shop.
	ZegersFreedomFlags.shop.
	And she's not joking.
	You can go to her Instagram.
	Every day you can see this little elf in her workshop with the blowtorch, with the circular saw, with the paintbrush.
	Eric, turn on the camera for our in-studio guests.
	Show them this is one of Morgan's flagged, aged, beautiful Second Amendment flag that we have sitting on the wall behind our in-studio guests.
	You've got to check out her amazing product, ZegasFreedomFlags.shop.
	And Morgan, what is the largest flag you make?
	Uh, well, I got a unique order from this guy named Dr. Sebastian Gorka asking if I could make a 5-foot flag.
	And for those of you who are watching this, I'm only 5 feet tall.
	You can't tell because I'm sitting down.
	But I'm 5 feet tall, and he asked for a 5-foot flag!
	And so I just finished that last week and it has been hilarious.
	So if you follow me on Instagram, I've been showing the wood being my height and then I burn it and paint it and it's just been a blast.
	So thank you for that fun order.
	She can hide behind it because she's five foot tall and so is the flag and I can't wait because they built for me a brand new TV studio on the other side of the building.
	It's being fitted out right now.
	We're putting all my lovely tchotchkes in there and we're gonna have a...
	Place of pride for that flag, zegasfreedomflags.shop.
	Follow this lady, support this lady.
	She's on all the social media platforms.
	She's fighting the good fight.
	It is, of course, Young Americans Against Socialism and FightSocialism.org.
	We'll see you.
	Thank you.
	Um, I would say it's quite frustrating.
	You ask me, am I happy with what they're doing?
	I don't know what the heck they're doing.
	Are they doing anything?
	And that's the problem.
	Maybe people are like, Morgan, you just don't know what's going on behind the scenes.
	They're working hard behind the scenes.
	Okay, then communicate that to us.
	Because the people that work so hard and door knock every two years for you guys to get an office and donate and speak on your behalf are embarrassed at this point with what's going on.
	The Republic is at risk.
	You guys are doing nothing, or at least you are failing to communicate what you are doing behind the scenes, and we feel abandoned.
	Your infrastructure, in terms of grassroots support, feels abandoned.
	We feel like we have to organize outside of the institutions and then come up and save this country on our own.
	That's how it's feeling right now, and so it's very, very frustrating, and I'm frustrated on my own, but I'm more so just worried.
	There's more opportunities for us to come together and fix these problems.
	But right now, we're just disappointed.
	And it seems like they're playing politics as usual, and worrying about 2022 midterms versus who's going to win this election, who's going to win this.
	We have serious, deep rooted issues in this country, and they are not serious about them.
	I feel like if you look at the parents of the school boards, that's a really great example.
	Those are grassroots people that are not being supported by these institutions in DC that get millions of dollars.
	I was worried, foolish Gawker, that she would not give me an outspoken response to that question and I was wrong.
	What are they doing is what Morgan is screaming.
	Where is the GOP?
	Where is the Republican Party?
	God bless you for being there.
	Warrior that you are, the warrior for freedom.
	So let's say you are the countering, you are now the czar, not a good way of putting it.
	Let's say you are the advisor for countering socialism, the new, the counter communist whisperer for the President Trump in his second administration.
	What is the first thing that you'd like to see him do?
	If we got serious as a movement, where do we have to begin getting serious?
	I would upend the education system.
	I would completely upend it.
	I would destroy the teachers' unions.
	And that's specifically because the socialist parties here in America, the actual political parties, understand how powerful these teachers' unions are, and they are utilizing them.
	You can go to DSA, the Democratic Socialists of America's website, to see what their initiatives are with taking over the teachers' unions, if you really don't believe me.
	I would upend the education system, change the curriculum, allow kids to get out of public school if they want to, and most importantly, add the actual information we should be teaching to kids into the schools and take all the rest of the crap out.
	Follow her at Morgan Zeggers, also at the ZeggersFreedomFlags.shop, Young Americans Against Socialism, which is at FightSocialism.org.
	Last message to our millions of listeners and viewers across the nation who think, well, this is fun.
	I listen to a fun podcast, but I don't have any role to play in any of this.
	I say you've got to become a precinct committee person in your local GOP, monitor your school board, care for your children and the children of your community, and completely rethink education, leadership, and community moving forward in this country.
	It has to start with us, and then it starts with strong families, moves to strong communities, and that will bring a strong country back.
	Fabulous, fabulous, fabulous.
	God bless you and everything you do.
	We'll be fine if we get a thousand more Morgan Seggers out there.
	You've been listening to America First, one-on-one with me, Sebastian Gorka, wherever you are.
