| Copy link to current segment

Time Text
Welcome, dear friends.
This is America First.
I'd like to play for you a video cut from the singer Adele, which has caused a lot of controversy in the last few hours.
Is it available?
Do we have that?
Well, the name of this award has changed, but I really love being a woman and being a female artist.
I do.
I do.
I'm really proud of us.
I really, really am.
Thank you so much.
Now if you can't work out what the problem with that is, I'll give you a minute or two.
I really love being a woman.
That's what she said at the Brit Awards.
Cheers in the audience.
Very proud of what we do.
I guess that's women.
But we have such an incredibly packed news day today.
Is it a Thursday?
I do believe it's a Thursday.
We have the commander.
We have a...
Freedom of information request that has revealed what was really going on as Biden was pulling out of Kabul, surrendering Afghanistan.
We have Rear Admiral Peter Vassily's communications that Jill Biden and Joe Biden were a distraction during the chaos, pestering for special favors from the on the ground commander.
We have the latest figures for inflation.
Incredible, record-breaking 7.5% inflation just after one year of the Biden administration.
We have job approval ratings for the old senile man in the White House dropping below 40%.
Below 40%.
We still have reports from California.
If you're wondering about where those things are that you're trying to pick up at the grocery store, why certain shelves are empty, why certain things are simply not available, the Long Beach Port operations, after four months, half of those, Pete Buttigieg was on maternity leave, right?
Two months.
After four months of the supply chain chaos, the Long Beach Port in California is still not operating 24-7.
And then we have the latest comments from my former boss, President Trump, On the man who leads, allegedly, the Republicans in the Senate, Mitch McConnell.
You don't want to miss any of those reports.
We will share them with you and give you access to our very special guest, Troy Nels, the congressman who has alleged that Nancy's Gestapo, not gazpacho, Gestapo forces, broke into his office, surveilled his office, took photographs, On Capitol Hill, we'll be joining us later today.
We have the former Trump administration official, former Secretary of Veterans Affairs Robert Wilkie in studio.
And then, so looking forward to this, the first ambassador ever confirmed by President Trump.
The man who was his envoy in Israel to the Middle East, Ambassador David Friedman, for the one-on-one with us for a whole hour.
You don't want to miss a second.
I know three hours is a long time.
I know sometimes, you know, you may have to take the pods out.
You may have to take the headphones off.
You may have to switch off the radio.
I hope not.
But for those of you who have to do some brain surgery later today, or save a cat from a tree, don't forget the podcast of this show is available.
Go to Spotify, subscribe, it's absolutely free and you will never miss a thing.
Even if you can't listen to it live, if you're in a vicinity that doesn't broadcast a third hour of the show, complain to the local station to get that third hour.
But in the meantime, make sure you are subscribed.
To America First, go to Spotify, look for Sebastian Gorka, my name, give us a review, share the clips and you won't meet a thing.
I'm going to mention it every single day because it is so incredibly important.
Our interview with none other than Dr. Robert Malone, the man who got Joe Rogan in such trouble.
We had him for a whole hour as well here on America First.
You have got to, got to listen to that one on one.
Okay, let's go back to Adele.
She's a singer, very famous singer.
She's got a bit of a working class accent.
She's famous for saying, I live in a shabby little flat.
Well, she doesn't anymore.
I'm sure she's got a couple of lovely large mansions with Bentleys outside.
At the Brit Awards, the Pop Culture Awards, she won a prize, a little statuette.
And this is, what did she, it was Spectre.
No, it was one of the James Bond movies she sang the theme tune for.
And this is, she's clearly very excited, this is what she said when she picked up her prize!
Play cut!
Well the name of this award has changed but I really love being a woman and being a female artist, I do!
I do!
I'm really proud of us, I really really am, thank you so much!
Now, did you catch the beginning of that?
The name of the award may have changed.
Why?
Because it was Best Female Artist.
Now, the Brit Awards are gender neutral!
And what did she say?
The name of the award might have changed.
But I really love being a woman.
And she's definitely a woman!
Oh yes she is!
Here is the report from The Blaze, David Urbanski.
When world-famous singer Adele was named Artist of the Year at the Tuesday Brit Awards, which for the first time ditched male and female categories.
Why?
Did male and female just suddenly cease to exist in favour of gender-neutral prizes?
She seemed quite relaxed and admitted she wasn't expecting the accolade.
With that, Adele tossed off a casual confession in the wake of her win.
I understand why the name of this award has changed, but I really love being a woman and being a female artist.
I do.
I do.
I'm really proud of us.
I really, really am, she added.
Sorry, I don't do many impressions, but sometimes you just got to.
Know what I mean?
What happened next?
If you figured the woke mob blasted Adele for her oh-so-gender-exclusive remark, it doesn't seem to be the case, believe it or not.
Oh sure, a few folks spoke up against the singer's pro-woman declaration, which the Times of London said some detractors indicated they lost a lot of respect for Adele.
We will no longer spend a cent on her music.
Why?
Why?
Why would the feminists not stand up for that?
Oh, what did page six say?
Please know, Adele, you can't be a TERF.
What's a TERF?
Eric, you know these modern phrases.
What's a TERF?
Trans-Exclusionary Radical Feminist.
Trans-exclusionary radical feminist because she says she loves being a woman.
TERF stands for trans-exclusionary radical feminist.
Well, screen posts of Twitter posts said the following.
Adele, honey, that was low-key transphobic.
Why is Adele transphobic?
Why is it transphobia to say you're proud of the thing you are?
I'll say that again.
Why is it phobic anything to say you are proud of what you are?
If you're a good golfer and you say, I'm so proud to be a good golfer, is that phobic of shuffleboard players?
Is that the logic of the left?
Others...
We're a little bit more sane.
Here are some other social media comments.
Thank you, Adele, for using those words.
Really important that we never lose them.
Yeah, man and woman, those words must not be erased.
The words woman and female are being erased.
Well, said Adele, let's get society to a point where a woman saying, I'm a woman and I like it, isn't an act of effing bravery.
Quite right, I concur.
Just in case you doubted the insanity.
Just in case you doubted that we are in the midst of a deep, deep culture war.
Whether it's Joe Rogan simply having real medical professionals on his show to talk about the truth of the Wuhan virus.
Whether it is clearly a biological woman saying, I am proud to be a woman.
It is time to stand up for the truth.
Time to stand up for reality.
It's up to you.
This is America First.
America First
The End
The End Hey, Zacky Poo!
Squeaky Boy!
Are you typing?
Keep typing, Squeaky Boy!
Or I'll do another Adele impersonation.
It was Skyfall you were thinking of.
Skyfall.
Skyfall.
Oh, can you come in with some Skyfall?
Yes, I can.
I was gonna suggest that.
Do it.
I was thinking, yeah.
It's such a good song.
Do it, do it, do it, do it, do it.
Oh, man.
Yeah, I'm gonna roll up.
Or I'll have to sing it.
As a cockney.
The loss of the OK sign is still one of the craziest things ever.
I know we told the story on the air a while ago, but it still baffles me that to this day people still get cancelled for flashing that sign.
America first, hopefully.
I gotta find that little audio.
Does being cancelled even matter anymore if you're being cancelled by people who aren't?
Do you have Boyle?
Yeah, he should be up.
Yeah, can you hear me?
There he is.
THE BOYLE!
Are you there?
What's going on, Dr. G?
We're having fun with Cockney impersonations.
I love that.
Shabby little flat!
I think it was subtle enough of a change when you started doing it that people wouldn't notice right away.
Alright, here it is.
Hang on, hang on.
Turn it off.
I'm gonna play this.
Come on.
Where's the video?
Hi, what's your name?
What's your name?
How we doing, Boylster?
Doing great!
Did you see the Chinese Communist Party's chief propagandist is attacking Breitbart?
Well, good!
I have that story in front of me and we're gonna start with that, okay?
Yep.
All right, here we go, here we go.
Oh, bloody hell, advertisement.
I don't need a stinking advertisement.
America First, what's your name?
One minute.
I'm actually furious that that happened.
Because now she knows that I speak positively.
I speak positively without the air.
So where is it?
All right, come in with that.
That's great.
Come in with the music.
Skyfall.
Sorry, video viewers.
Okay, 20 seconds.
Why, does Rumble care?
Oh, yeah, yeah.
Okay, send that music to me then, Jon.
All right, I will stand by.
Yeah. Stand by. Stand by.
Stand by. Stand by. Stand by. Stand by. Stand by. Stand by. Stand by. Stand by. Stand by.
Stand by.
That's Adele from her shabby little flat singing Skyfall.
She's definitely a woman and she's proud of it, and God bless her.
I'm Sebastian Gawker.
This is America First.
Do tell me that you have booked your seats for our Stand With Israel tour.
Come on, the COVID era must be brushed aside.
It's time to travel again.
Let's go to the Holy Land together.
We're going to travel with Dinesh D'Souza and his lovely wife, Debbie.
Join us for the trip of a lifetime.
We're going to go to all the sites you've read about in the Bible, even if you've been to Israel before.
You haven't been with me and Dinesh.
Reserve your seats today.
Call 855-565-5519 or just go to StandWithIsraelTour.com.
That's 855-565-5519.
StandWithIsraelTour.com.
It's that time of the week.
We've got to check in with the most influential conservative website in the known universe.
It's Breitbart.com.
And there, Washington Bureau Chief is the one and only Matt Boyle.
Matt Boyle, welcome back.
Dr. Gorka, always a pleasure.
Glad to be here.
All right, so you're in trouble with the right people.
Tell me who has opened fire on Breitbart.com.
Yeah, so a former editor who still is a contributor, the former top editor of the Global Times, which is a
propaganda outlet run by the Chinese Communist Party, this guy named Hu Zhijin, tweeted out in response to a Breitbart story, we exclusively reported yesterday that Congresswoman Lisa McClain from the great state of Michigan, she's a great conservative, is introducing legislation that's backed by a number of top Republicans, by the way, Jim Banks, the chairman of the Republican Study Committee, Mike Rogers, the ranking member of the House... It's more than 20 isn't it?
Right, yeah, but again, having the ranking member of the House Armed Services Committee and the chairman of the Republican Study Committee means this thing is getting on the fast track as soon as the Republicans are in the majority.
And what this legislation would do is it would sanction thousands of Chinese Communist Party senior officials.
So their entire national congress, including – and their family members.
So their national congress is all the most senior members they meet every five years of the Chinese Communist Party.
Xi Jinping is the leader of it.
So he's the dictator in charge of China.
It's the highest governing body of the CCP in China.
And so that would be like sanctioning the U.S.
Congress and the executive branch of the government and the president and his cabinet and the vice president and all that kind of stuff.
So anyway, this bill would target all of them with a double-barreled sanction.
So the first sanction that they would get hit with is a ban on visas so they would not be able to travel into the United States.
Now this is significant because Xi Jinping's own daughter went to Harvard and she's been reportedly coming back to the United States over the last several years many times.
If this bill were law, she would not be allowed to do that nor would any of these people or their family members.
Then the second sanction and arguably the more important one is a financial sanction It would block American banks and financial institutions and companies from doing business with any of these people.
So they would be effectively cut off from Western civilization.
Let me just stop you there.
other countries try to find ways around the sanctions.
And more importantly, their family members too.
So they would be totally defenestrated.
After we come out with this story, because they realize how serious this is, and the Chinese Communist Party does, if and when the Republicans take the majority in November's midterm elections in the House, they were very likely to pass this out of the House of Representatives. - Let me just stop you there.
Let me just read a comment from Congressman Mike Rogers from Alabama regarding this bill.
The Chinese Communist Party must be held accountable for their egregious and disturbing human rights abuses.
Every day that Joe Biden hesitates in holding the CCP accountable for genocide and slave labor, the CCP only grows more emboldened in their campaign of evil.
Which, by the way, is exactly what's happening under the Genocide Olympics.
You wrote this piece in Breitbart.com.
So what happened next?
You're just reporting the Overnight, overnight I woke up at 4 in the morning this morning because everybody was texting me.
The top propagandist for the Chinese Communist Party, this guy who was the senior editor of the Global Times and he's still a senior contributor but they pushed him aside because of the whole Peng Shui situation.
But this guy tweets out in response to our story with a screenshot of the Breitbart notification on Twitter says that if the United States government does this, if this bill passes the U.S. House of Representatives next year, in other words, that China would respond by sanctioning President Joe Biden, his entire that China would respond by sanctioning President Joe Biden, his entire cabinet and the And the entire U.S. Congress.
So this is a big deal.
Now, look, does he officially speak for the Chinese Communist Party?
Technically not.
But the Global Times is a is a propped up by the sanction.
He's sanctioned by them.
He doesn't get to say that without Beijing say so.
Correct.
So they are clearly worried about this legislation from Congresswoman Lisa McClain.
And frankly, I think that everybody out there needs to go check and see if their congressman or congresswoman is a co-sponsor on this legislation.
And if they're not, then they need to ask them why.
So, there's a lot of good ones on this bill, and again, it's got a lot of momentum.
Now, here's the other thing that's really interesting.
Having Mike Rogers, who's currently the ranking member of the House Armed Services Committee on this legislation, he would be the chairman if the Republicans take the majority.
The House Armed Services Committee considers must-pass legislation like the National Defense Authorization Act.
The would-be chairman ranking member Rogers has not said that he intends to attach said sanctions to the NDAA but it's very possible that that could happen as part of the amendment process and debate and so on as they consider this legislation next year because they have to pass the NDAA every year and then the question would be what would the Senate do and then also would Joe Biden threaten to veto it and cut off money to our entire national defense because he wants to help his pals in Beijing.
Yeah.
I'm not familiar with Congresswoman Lisa McClain.
Given the number of people involved, this really would happen, would it not, if we won the midterms?
I think this bill will definitely pass the House of Representatives in a Republican-controlled House as to whether or not they are able to rule the Senate and or rule the White House remains to be seen.
But I do think that it will pass in a Republican-controlled House of Representatives.
That's very exciting news.
Super exciting.
I've just got to add to that.
This is from HotAir.com.
We're going to talk about this with Matt Boyle, Washington Bureau Chief for Breitbart.com.
This is from Ed Morrissey.
Biden job approval falls below 40%.
Absolutely stunning figures for a first-year incumbent.
A man who, Matt, allegedly got 80 million votes.
Isn't that weird?
Yeah, look, these approval rating numbers are horrendous.
He's the loser in chief.
Everybody knows it.
And now, and by the way, except for him, apparently, because he still thinks that he's wonderful, but all the Democrat governors around America who are lifting their mask mandates, Governor Ron DeSantis said it best the other day when he came out and he said, you know what?
The medical science on this has not changed.
The only thing that's changed is the political science.
on the virus.
And so nothing's changed.
There's no reason why they're getting rid of all their restrictions other than the fact that they know that they're headed for a rude awakening in the midterm elections and the Democrats are...
I mean, look, just now, just literally today, the Nevada governor lifted effective immediately all mask mandate in the state of...
They have nothing.
They see the polls.
They see the figures.
It's a midterm.
The science hasn't changed.
starting to signal the end of their mass because they are desperate they have nothing they see the polls they see the figures it's a midterm the science hasn't changed it's just the narrative because they have nothing else he's matt boyle i'm sebastian gorker bookmark bright bar.com every day you've got to check it out get the app this is america first we'll be back with matt
after these messages this this is dave from arizona - Okay.
Dave?
Sir?
Yes, what's your question?
What's your comment, James or Dave?
It's Dave.
Um, I'm just, I'm shocked the brevity of the conversation between boys and girls and gender.
We have a Republic to save and I know the brevity, the brevity, do you know what the word brevity means?
Don't be demeaning Dr. Gorka.
Do you know what brevity means?
Do you know what brevity means?
My point is, sir, is that we've got a Republic to save you guys.
What do you mean?
Are you talking about an insurrection?
Are you a terrorist?
Who are you, James David?
Who are you?
Biden and restore the republic what do you mean are you talking about an insurrection are you a terrorist who are you James David why do you keep calling me James David who are you what are you what are you proposing okay the insurrection happened on the 4th of November I I'm asking you, what are you proposing?
You say action.
What does that mean?
We need action steps.
What does that mean?
I'll ask you one last time and if you can't answer me, you are simply an agent provocateur.
What do you mean?
Use English.
We need to decertify in all the states.
You need to show action plans.
Action, action, action.
Yeah, yeah, you're not answering the question.
And by the way, gender is a bloody important thing.
When 12-year-old girls are getting mastectomies because they have been indoctrinated into thinking they are boys, it is actually worse than a bloody election, you cretin!
Get off my show!
The way I see the transgender issue, Dr. G, and I was literally just talking to some Republican people about this, is as follows.
If you're an adult, and you're an informed adult, and you want to make your own decision, and go do whatever you want to do, just don't get in my way, right?
Like, and don't get in anybody else's way, right?
Like, as for children, as for children, absolutely not.
I think it's worse than that.
When you have a 40% Suicide attempt rate in adult transgender people.
No, I don't even buy that.
I think this is a cult.
The gender dysmorphia is a condition that needs psychological treatment.
I don't disagree.
I don't disagree.
But all I'm saying is that in the case of somebody that's actually fully informed, you know what I mean?
They've gone through all of that.
If that's what they want to do, then just don't get in our way, right?
Well, that's the libertarian argument, but if you have a 40% suicide rate, I'm sorry, this is a problem we can't just say, well, you can cut your balls off, it's okay.
No, I disagree.
I disagree.
You can cut your breast off.
What I'm saying is that you can't have men, biological men, who would make that decision competing in women's sports.
You absolutely can't have that.
But I think the fact that this is clearly a psychological issue if 40% of the people who go down that path try to commit suicide.
I'm not going to do this libertarian garbage, or I don't care what they do over the age of 18.
No, that's wrong.
40% of any population shouldn't be trying to kill themselves.
It's just wrong, man.
All right, 15 seconds.
I forgot the regret rate, too.
How many regrets?
Yeah, all right.
271 days.
Coming in with that.
Alright, standby ten seconds.
shocked with the brevity of that conversation this is America
First countdown to the 2022 midterm elections.
Thank you.
The days are being counted every day here.
The clock is ticking.
271 days until the midterms.
Who better to discuss it with than the Washington Bureau Chief for Breitbart.com.

Matt, I've got to read a statement to you.
I want to know what the impact of this is in the swamp across the conservative movement.
This is from my former boss.
I guess he's still Well, kind of, my boss, if I'm still a presidential appointee in the DoD, which I am, because Biden's somewhat such a coward.
This is from President Trump.
Mitch McConnell does not speak for the Republican Party and does not represent the views of the vast majority of its voters.
He did nothing to fight for his constituents and stop the most fraudulent election in American history.
And he does nothing to stop the lawless Biden administration, the invasion of our borders, rising inflation, unconstitutional mandates, the persecution of political opponents, fact-finding on the incompetent Afghanistan withdrawal, the giving away of our energy independence, which is all because of the fraudulent election.
Instead, he bails out the radical left and the rhinos.
If Mitch would have fought for the election like the Democrats would have in the same position, we would not be discussing any of the above and our country would be strong and proud instead of weak and embarrassed.
Matt Boyle, what is going on with the guy who's allegedly the Republican leader in the Senate saying January the 6th was a violent insurrection and the RNC doesn't get to censure people like Cheney and Kinzinger?
Well, first off, okay, there's a number of things to unpack here.
First off, the RNC censure, fantastic move by them.
I'm glad they finally did it.
I do think that it was a smart move on their part and it also gives them credibility to be able to go out there and deal with people who are rightfully angry at these establishment sellout politicians like Cheney and Kinzinger.
Mitch McConnell does not speak for the Republican Party, I don't think, anymore, if he ever did.
And frankly, it's not just the stuff that President Trump listed there.
It's a lot of other things over many years that have been building up to this moment.
Now, there are good things that McConnell did over the years, like stopping Merrick Garland from being on the Supreme Court, like getting Kavanaugh through, like getting Justice Barrett through, Justice Gorsuch.
So there are good things that McConnell did.
It's not all bad, but for the most part, we've been heading towards this moment for a while where people are ditching these old corrupt career politicians.
Mitch McConnell's ties to China that have been thoroughly detailed by my colleague Peter Schweitzer in a variety of different books – I think he's done a number, he's had sections on Mitch McConnell in a number of different books.
He's in Red Handed, by the way, the latest book that's out.
That's number one on the bestseller list the last two weeks.
But the stuff about Mitch McConnell on that front, we've been seeing happen inside the Republican Party over the last several years, and President Trump accelerated this.
is a cleansing of these establishment losers in the removal of them one by one by one by one and we're getting a better and stronger party as a result of it now the house moves faster because elections are every two years governors move a little bit faster than the senate races because elections are every four years but the senate races are they take a little bit longer but that hey guess what the long arc of history is pointed towards justice here and there as well
And I'll point you no further than, say, the state of Tennessee, where you had two U.S.
senators when President Trump came into office, who were Lamar Alexander and Bob Corker.
Now, when he left office, it's Marshall Blackburn and Bill Hagerty.
So we're moving in the right direction.
It takes a little bit longer because it's the Senate.
I've got 30 seconds left, but I want to ask you, why did he say that?
Is this for the old establishment donors?
What the hell is McConnell doing?
McConnell is trying to clutch on to whatever power he's got left and he can see the writing on the wall that the day is coming.
I don't know when and where it's going to be, but the day is coming when Mitch McConnell will be an afterthought and President Trump will still be the leader of the Republican Party.
Yeah.
Can't come soon enough.
Good riddance, Mitch McConnell.
He's Matt Boyle, Washington Bureau Chief, Breitbart.com.

He's going to be calling right at, like, the start.
Okay, give me line two.
Mic's on.
Here we go.
Two and a half minutes.
Hey, who's this?
Hi, this is Jenny.
Hi, what's your comment?
What's your question, Jenny?
Oh, dear lord.
I was looking at an obscure channel called 153news.net and I seen a video entitled, Who's Really Running the Canadian Convoy?
In there, the lady proposes that Pat King, who seems to be a little bit of a celebrity lately, has been working with a gentleman named Peter, who also worked with Waxit.
And these gentlemen have ties to apparently to Burisma and what's going on in the Ukraine here as well.
Canadian Army.
Why are you listening to a channel nobody's heard of?
Well, because the information is still valid online.
All the points that this lady was bringing up are still valid.
Because these people did work for the corporations that she said.
How do you know that?
I've been looking it up.
So what?
Well, I want to know what that means, like if there's a tie between the two.
It means that you're falling for fake news.
I don't know about that.
Are you serious?
I think if the Canadian military is getting sent over there and we've been spending a lot of money, there's got to be a little bit more to it.
Jenny, stop talking.
I'm going to pray for your soul.
Jenny, Jenny, will you stop talking?
Jenny, be quiet.
I will pray for your soul because you are not an adult.
You are a sheep.
I really have pity on your soul.
Now go away and get some education.
Goodbye. 45 seconds.
She was laughing at the end.
I heard the laughing.
You're going to send it to me.
Anything with dot net, I'm skeptical of.
There's a three hour at the top and 34 minute thing about the moon landing.
I'm going to guess that they're going to say that.
Yeah, right.
Stanley Cooper corrected it.
And when you're giggling at the end, it's not a good sign.
All right.
Well, 15 seconds.
Stand by.
All right.
Stand With Israel Tour.
Sure.
Is it a flipping full moon or something?
I gotta know if there's a reason.
We got some real wackadoodles calling in today and I take them in the break.
If you're watching us on Rumble, you can hear those conversations.
First, we've got an alleged conservative who said, what do you mean you're talking about gender?
Who cares about gender?
I bloody care about gender.
When you've got twelve-year-old girls hacking off their breasts because they think they should transform into boys.
I bloody care about our civilization.
Mr. James or Dave or whatever your false name was.
I should be talking about decertifying every election in America.
What, like California and Massachusetts?
Stop smoking crack!
We don't need people like you on the conservative side.
We need people who live in the real world.
And then a woman who just called out from Winnipeg to say, did you know I saw a video that says Burisma is behind the Freedom Truckers?
I pray for these people, because you're not adults.
You're sheep.
We want conservatives who are informed.
We want conservatives who live in the real world.
And we want conservatives who uncover the truth and fight the corruption.
That's a bit of a segue.
He is the representative for the 22nd Congressional District of Texas.
He's been breaking news every single day.
He is Congressman Troy Nels.
Congressman Nels, welcome to America First.
Mr. Gorka, it's an honor and a privilege to be on your show.
Well, we're very happy to finally have you on the show.
You have served this nation honorably for decades in the U.S.
Army, in law enforcement, in Fort Bend and elsewhere.
Now you've been a sheriff, now you're a congressman.
I want the latest update because I am hearing constantly misinformation, disinformation from Nancy Pelosi, from the Capitol Hill Police.
What happened to your office last year when a staffer came in on a holiday?
Well, what happened was the deep state, the Capitol Police came into my office and they took pictures of my whiteboards.
They saw my whiteboard and they thought there was writings on it and diagrams on it that were suspicious.
And they took those photos and shared it with the intelligence section and investigative division of the Capitol Police.
And then they conducted a criminal investigation into me.
And the problem I have is that, you know, why are you doing this to me?
It's because they're trying to silence me.
They're trying to intimidate and destroy.
I've been very vocal, Mr. Gork, over the January 6th, the year.
You know, Lena McCarthy asked me to be on the Select Committee.
I've done a deep dive into January 6th, the intelligence failures that the leadership of the Capitol Police had, and they failed.
There is an enormous amount of incompetence within the leadership of the Capitol Police.
I've also expressed my concerns as it relates to the death of Ashley Babbitt and why Lieutenant pace or still didn't even go to a grand jury that that that can i just be clear here a 14-year air force veteran who was unarmed who was shot to death by lieutenant bird whose identity was kept secret for six years who was cleared of any misdoing but despite the fact that he killed an unarmed woman uh congressman nels up first everybody listening follow this man rep troy nels that's n-e-h-l-s
why is this invasion of your offices the photographing of your confidential materials why is this coming out now if it occurred in november well that's a very good question because when this occurred in november it was the week of thanksgiving It was the week of Thanksgiving.
I was out of the office.
There was one staffer that was there that Monday morning that was confronted by the special police, uh, special agents by the Capitol police.
And really they didn't think anything of it until just a few weeks ago.
We see a political story come out about the Capitol police in combination with the Sergeant at Arms looking at, uh, at members of Congress, investigating them, spying on them.
And their staff, and then all of a sudden one of my staffers said, you know what, this happened a few months ago.
And so what it did is some of these stories that have come out recently in the last few weeks obviously has brought it to my attention, and now I'm asking for an investigation.
Were the officers in your offices on Thanksgiving photographing your materials, were they in uniform or were they undercover in plain clothes?
Well, the one officer that was that, that, that apparently took the photo.
I still can't even get that information from the chief of police and confirm that, that it was he, but he said he found my door wide open.
He found the door wide open on a Saturday afternoon at three 30.
Now my office, we don't have, we didn't have anybody there at Saturday afternoon.
They were all home.
They were all gone, but he was going through to check to make sure that there was no one that shouldn't be there.
No one unauthorized should have been in my office.
He didn't find anybody there and he should have left, but he took it upon himself to go start snooping around and start looking at my whiteboard where I keep all my legislative priorities, all my data, what I'm trying to do legislatively here for this next year.
And so he looked at that and he said, well, that looks suspicious.
Look at that little hand drawn map of the Rayburn building.
Boom.
I'm going to take a picture and have this guy investigated.
And that's exactly what they did.
And then a few days later, I have these secret squirrels, these deep state undercover agents, knocking on my door, confronting my staffer, who just happened to be there.
And is your hypothesis that these people, these officers, are acting under the command, under the direction of the Speaker of the House, Nancy Pelosi?
I believe that Nancy Pelosi now has weaponized the U.S.
Capitol Police.
She's weaponized them.
She's getting these individuals now.
It seems like the Capitol Police is now her own private law enforcement agency, federal law enforcement agency, getting these individuals to spy on members of Congress, gather intelligence, do background checks.
And Nancy Pelosi obviously doesn't like me too much, Mr. Gorka.
Obviously, I told you I'm a very vocal critic of what took place on January 6th.
The National Guard should have been at our nation's Capitol January 4th.
And Nancy Pelosi, in my humble opinion, delayed the response of the National Guard, and we need to get to the bottom of it, because you know damn well the January 6th sham committee headed by Mr. Thompson isn't going to try to seek the truth.
No, it's going to be used like a political weapon against conservatives, just as the Capitol Police are being used as a weapon against you.
We're out of time, Congressman Nels.
Will you keep us updated, and can we get you in studio for a longer discussion?
Absolutely.
Capitol Police, release the damn photo.
Release the photo of that whiteboard.
American people need to see what it says.
Yep.
If you've got nothing to hide, Capitol Police, if you're real law enforcement officers like Congressman Nels was, then release the photographs.
You can follow him, nels.house.gov.
Or at RepTroyNels on Twitter.
That's N-E-H-L-S.
Thank you for your service as a Leo and for your continued service to Texas in Congress.
I'm Sebastian Gorky.
Your call is next on 833-334-6752.

The Adele thing.
Adele, colon, cancelled for being a woman, question mark.
Okay.
Boyle.
Who does Mitch McConnell think he is?
Nels.
Um, Pelosi has weaponized the police.
Uh-huh.
And the pre-record as well.
Ah.
Do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do. - Ugh.
What's the post-millennial?
That's not Andy Ngo, right?
It is.
It is Andy Ngo.
It's a Canadian outlet.
He works there, obviously.
Is that his though?
He is, yeah.
The longest articles there are the ones by him.
30 seconds.
All right.
All right.
Dr. G is in the house on America First.
Welcome back, dear friends.
Welcome back.
We haven't taken enough calls, but we've got so many news-breaking guests.
We will be joined by Secretary Robert Wilkie, Veterans Affairs in the Trump administration, and Ambassador David Friedman, the first ambassador confirmed for the Trump administration who was President Trump's representative To Israel, the man who shepherded the recognition of Jerusalem as its capital and the move of our embassy.
Let's go to your calls.
Line one.
It's Thursday, therefore it's got to be Antoinette.
Welcome, Antoinette.
Hello, darling.
How's it going?
I enjoy being a woman.
What can I tell you?
Well, that's very nice.
We love it when women enjoy being women because that's the way it should be.
You think?
Oh my lord.
I do.
I'm just a hater.
I'm just a Neanderthal hater like that who believes men are men and women are women.
Well just so you know, I enjoy thoroughly being a woman.
And protecting our Voice for the Voiceless here in California.
We're not giving up.
Just to get back to Voice with the Voiceless, Dr. G, April the 30th, once again, is our Pro-Life Car Rally.
Definitely our starting point is in Dana Point.
But the logistics of where we're going to end up, at which Planned Parenthood, we haven't divulged that just yet.
But as we all know, and the Bible teaches us, in inherent value of life, it is all human beings we need to protect and defend them.
I've got to get to one more caller.
April 30th, Dana Point.
What time are you starting?
10 a.m.
Dr. G and you guys.
Thank you, thank you, thank you.
God bless.
10 a.m.
Be there.
Support Antoinette.
Voice for the voiceless.
Ray Livermore!
Dr. G. Hey.
Proud man calling you.
What?
You hater!
Are you a man?
Yes, and I knew very early on I was and I knew that I appreciated... How did you work that out?
How did you work that out?
I need to know.
How did you work that out that you were a male of the species?
It was a natural occurring thing, I believe, Dr. G. And I have a point to make, and if there's time, I have a Marilyn Monroe quote.
All right, you've got 60 seconds.
Hit me.
Okay, in San Francisco and many other big cities, every year they have a parade, and it is called the, wait for it, Gay Pride Parade.
Whoa, whoa, whoa, hang on, hang on, hang on, hang on, hang on.
If you're gay, you're allowed to be proud, right?
That's right, that's right.
Proud is something that's reserved to homosexuals.
Huh.
My body, my choice is something that's reserved to abortion folks.
And racism, as Whoopi has told us, is something that's reserved to blacks.
Right, because remember, you know, Whoopi said that Hitler wasn't a racist.
That's what Whoopi Goldberg said.
That's right.
And so certain words that the left has destroyed, they've raped, there's other words you could use, but they're wrecking the language or they're destroying the language.
That's the point.
It's 1984.
War is peace.
Peace is war.
Ignorance is intelligence.
Ray, he's a man.
He knows it.
He worked it out very early on.
And he's proud of it, just as Antoinette is a woman.
And you could tell on her voice, she loves being a woman.
And we love women for being women.
And we are proud of our biological truth.
Write something about that media matters.
Let's pray.
Thank you.
Thank you.

Okay, we'll be joined by Robert Wilkie, former Secretary of Veterans Affairs in the Trump administration, but I want to play this because I think I'm going to get him to comment on this as well.
This is the FOIA-requested body cam video from Westchester County from last year.
It took some time to acquire when an unmarked plane landed after the airport was closed with CIA contractors from MVM in Asheville, Virginia.
C.I.A.
contractors who had worked for the Defense Department for the U.S.
Army in Iraq, who are now, on your dime, secretly ferrying illegal aliens across the nation in jumbo jets, with instructions from the Department of Homeland Security that if they are stopped by the authorities, they are not to provide their U.S.
government I.D., their Department of the Army I.D.
They are only to provide their driver's licenses.
But the local Westchester County police talked to them.
didn't give up.
Asked them what they're doing.
And this is what the CIA contractors told that police officer.
You don't want to be somewhere where the spotlight is.
You want to tell people to down low as possible.
No.
A lot of this is just...
No, I get it.
I just, like I said... ...download stuff that we don't tell people.
Because what we don't want to do is attract attention.
We don't want the media.
Yeah.
Like, we don't even know where we're going when they tell us.
I get the whole secrecy and all this s***, but this is even about my s***.
Yeah.
You know what I mean?
And why?
You know why?
You know why?
Yeah, I know, but why?
Because it closes it off.
Yeah.
That's why.
No, but what's the big secret?
Everybody knows it's happening.
You know why?
Because when it gets out, the government's betraying the American people.
If this gets out, the people will know the government is betraying the American people.
We don't want attention.
We don't want a spotlight.
We want to be on the down low.
We don't tell people because we don't even know where we're going when we are given the illegals.
We don't want the media.
We don't even know where we're going.
I get the whole secrecy, but this is above my effing pay grade.
Why?
Why?
You know, look who's in office.
That's why.
Come on.
But what's the big secret?
Everyone knows it's happening.
You know why.
Because if this gets out, the government is betraying the American people.
Thank you to the sergeant who kept asking the right questions.
And really, you can tell the CIA contractor didn't want to be there.
He was just paying the rent.
But that video must be shared with everyone you know.
You've got to tell them about it.
You've got to show them this link.
Because that's how America wakes up.
How bad is it?
This is personal for me.
I was contacted by a journalist today.
From Justin News, I'll keep his name confidential for now because he wants comments from me.
He wants reaction to a story about something that's happening next week at National Defense University.
If you've ever served in the military, if your family is connected to the military, if you just care about America, you need to listen now for a few minutes.
Now I served at National Defence University for five and a half years.
I was a DoD civilian.
I rose to the position of Associate Dean.
I worked in the College of International Security Affairs, teaching counter-terrorism and irregular warfare as part of the Counter-Terrorism Fellowship Program of the Office of the Assistant Secretary of Defense for Special Operations and Low-Intensity Conflict.
Okay?
That's all the acronyms, that's all the stuff, so you've got my credentials.
I served on Fort McNair as an immigrant to the United States.
I swore my first day in office in front of a naval petty officer to protect this nation.
And to protect this Constitution.
And I take that oath very, very seriously.
I've taken it twice now.
Once as a DoD civilian, and then again as a Deputy Assistant to the President for Strategy.
Here's the news story I was asked to respond to.
For your background information, National Defence University is the pinnacle JPME Institution in America, meaning it is the highest form, highest school of education for our officers in the joint professional military education system.
It's where colonels go to become generals.
And that's where I served on the faculty.
Next week, National Defense University will be hosting a speaker session entitled Responding to China, the case for global justice and democratic socialism.
The speaker will be Professor Thomas Piketty of the Paris School of Economics.
He is the author of the book, Time for Socialism.
The author of the book, Time for Socialism.
And he will argue that democratic socialism should be America's response to China.
This event is presented by the Pentagon's Strategic Multi-Layer Assessment Program in collaboration with National Defense University's Eisenhower School for National Security.
Eisenhower's name, his institution is being hosted, is being used to host an event promoting socialism in America.
Here is a description of the event that is being paid for by you, dear taxpayer, because this is a Pentagon event.
Western countries are still struggling to define their attitude towards the Beijing regime.
In this talk, Mr. Piketty will argue that the right answer lies in ending Western arrogance.
And promoting a new emancipatory and egalitarian horizon on the global scale.
A new form of democratic and participatory ecological and post-colonial socialism.
If they stick to their usual lecturing posture and a dated hyper-capitalist model, Western countries may find it extremely difficult to meet the Chinese challenge.
As the child of those who escaped a communist regime, As an immigrant who chose this country, a legal immigrant, who has served this nation in the Defense Department, training our military to defeat communists, to defeat socialists, as a former deputy assistant to President Trump, I'm not even disgusted.
That's not even a strong enough word.
Horrified.
That Fort McNair, the military base where Lincoln's assassins were executed, the highest institution of military education in America, is paying to host an event on how America should become a socialist nation because that's the right way to respond to the communist challenge that is China?
If you're not enraged, then you are part of the problem.
I'm gonna make this a big story.
Yeah, I'll be giving quotes to this journalist.
But I'm going to do everything humanly possible to make sure that a pro-socialist, anti-Western civilization piece of excrement like Professor Piketty doesn't get to lecture on U.S.
soil at the highest institution of military learning on your taxpayer dollar.
That's why we are here every single day.
And I dearly hope that you are enraged as I am.
Perhaps you should go to the Eisenhower School's website at the National Defense University.
Perhaps we'll put that link on the screen in the next segment.
Perhaps you should tell the Dean
What you think of their promotion of socialism on US military bases in the greatest free nation on God's green earth. .
ndu.e?
Yeah.
Okay.
Hey!
Go to the schools inside there.
N-D-U dot E.
Yeah.
Okay.
Hey!
Sir?
What happened?
What did the other guy look like?
I wish I could say something noble like jumping out of an airplane.
I slipped on the ice.
What's the damage?
A fractured ankle.
Piper can talk to you about that.
I've got four more weeks with this and six more weeks with that.
Is it a cast or is it pins or what?
No, no, it's just...
A boot?
An inflatable boot.
Oh yeah, yeah.
How are you?
Those things screw up your hip.
Yeah, I've noticed it.
Well, I put these shoes on.
How are you?
I'm good!
I'm just angry.
Did you hear the story?
No.
Alright, I'm going to summarize it for you.
The Eisenhower School at NDU is having a lecture on how America needs to be a socialist country.
They're paying for a French speaker to come here to tell us to be less arrogant.
From the French?
Yeah, from the French.
Isn't that good?
From the French.
Alright, now we've got to talk about this story.
The FOIA documents from the Admiral who was running Kabul.
What's the guy?
Is it Thomas Piketty?
Yes.
Yeah.
Thomas Piketty is his name?
He looks exactly like you would expect.
Did you find anything?
I found a link for the website as a whole.
I can't find anything on the Dean.
Well, there's got to be a contact.
There's got to be a contact tab.
For which one?
The Dean?
Well, for the Dean or the school itself.
For the Eisenhower School.
Yeah, there's contact.
Good.
Yeah.
Yeah, there's a contact page.
The only good news today is if anybody's going to say anything about the Olympics, at least the U.S.
hockey team beat the Communist state to nothing.
Oh, yeah?
Good!
Shades of, what is it, 82?
80.
80.
That's right.
Shades of, what is it, 82?
80.
80.
80.
That's right.
80.
I think classes.
Right.
All right.
If you want, we can give you some relief factor.
I used it when I had my surgery.
So did John.
Yeah, I fully support it.
Works well.
He's too young to use.
I know.
Well, yeah, but he had about how many pins?
I had seven screws.
Seven screws in his ankle.
Oh, yeah.
I'm still I got a fragile young man.
So Boris has got himself in trouble.
What has he done now?
Nothing other than... Oh, but he's lifted it all.
He's lifted all the things.
I was on a British show today.
They think he's going to swim through this.
The people really don't care.
Parties on a Friday night.
But he's been a disappointment.
Yes.
He has been a big disappointment, particularly on the economic and the climate front.
Yes.
Oh my gosh, the latest.
They want to seal with concrete.
They want to pour concrete into the two fracking sites in the UK.
Seal them forever.
It's that.
The End On the side of the U.S.
Constitution, America first.
Welcome back, dear friends.
I'm still fuming.
Hopefully I can get my guest in studio to fume along with me.
But first things first, if you booked your tickets, are you coming with me to the Holy Land?
You know you want to.
Dinesh D'Souza, his lovely wife, Debbie, and my muse and myself will be going to Israel for the Stand with Israel tour this November-December for 10 days.
I've been before but I've never been with you.
Will you join me?
It's going to be the trip of a lifetime.
All the places you've read about in the Bible, you'll actually be there.
On the banks of the Sea of Galilee.
Next to the Western Wall in Jerusalem.
You know you want to come.
Call today 855-565-5519 or just go to StandWithIsraelTour.com.
That's 855-565-5519.

Time to blow away the COVID blues.
Join us.
You won't regret it.
He comes as a correspondent because he brings us an update.
Some good news from the Genocide Games.
He's a former Secretary of Veterans Affairs in the Trump administration.
Robert Wilkie, what's going on?
Tell us the good news.
It is not as earth-shattering as the victory over the Soviet Union in 1980, but the United States did defeat the communist skaters from Beijing.
Eight to nothing today in ice hockey.
That's something to celebrate.
Actually, I think the game's still going.
It's 8-0.
It's 8-0.
Eric, keep an eye on that.
We need to know what the final score is.
Great news from the games.
Even if we are competing with a genocidal regime, we should trounce them on the ice.
Okay, lots of stuff to discuss.
First things first, I need your response to the A French professor Thomas Piketty who wrote the book Time for Socialism is being invited to speak on our taxpayer dime at the Eisenhower School for National Security and Resource Strategy at the National Defense University where I served for five and a half years.
To do the following, to discuss how Western countries must stop their arrogance and must instead promote an emancipatory, egalitarian, global policy of democratic post-colonial socialism.
I have no issues.
If they want to do that in Harvard, if they want to do that in Yale, but this is the highest institution of JPME military education in the Defense Department and it's paid for by you and me and all our listeners.
And it's creeping into every level of military education.
We already know what the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs has said in testimony about courses at West Point and what he believes is happening to the military.
We're not studying Patton or Slim, the great British marshal.
We're studying this nonsense.
A socialist from a country that has produced one military disaster after another.
The last battle they won was the Battle of Austerlitz in 1804.
I wouldn't mind if they would talk to us about de Gaulle-ism.
Absolutely.
That's fine.
But socialism?
Socialism.
Out of place, not surprising.
And then you can go from that to the disaster that was the evacuation in Afghanistan.
As you've pointed out, the cables.
These things are linked, are they not?
They are linked.
They are linked by people who have no idea what they're doing, what the military is for.
They're from people who don't like this country.
I mean, that's pretty clear if you listen to them talk.
And as a former National Security Council staffer, I mean, my office was right across from Captain McRaven's.
So we had people on our staff during the Condi Rice days who actually led military operations.
who knew something about logistics, who knew what soldiers could and could not do, and knew their duty to protect American citizens.
This is what you get when you get a political class that comes out of one stream of thought, Ivy League fantasists, and you get disaster after disaster.
But my issue is, as one who served on Fort McNair for more than half a decade, you know, the amount of paperwork and the sign-off you had to get to just get, you know, extra polystyrene cups for the coffee service.
This had to be approved by multiple people at the highest levels.
A three-star at least.
There's also a political deputy.
Yes, an ambassador.
Who answers to the political class at the White House and at the State Department.
Again, this is what is happening.
These are the same people who said we're going to overturn the military in a search for extremists.
Two and a half million in our under arms found 100 people they are suspect of.
We are at a crossroads that we've never been at.
I mean, we've had times when we defunded the military, particularly in the 1920s and 30s, but we've never had the infusion of radical politics into all levels, particularly the officer corps, where you have documents that purport to expound on American grand strategy, where they don't mention Islamic terrorism, but they mention climate change, you know, 50 times.
They don't mention the Communist Party, but they mention droughts.
Communist Party of China, but they mention droughts as being the great coming factor in conflict.
Or I reported yesterday on the army strategy for the environment that was just issued that says we will be carbon neutral by 2050.
I'm trying to think what army can go to war on batteries, Secretary Wilkinson.
None.
And try to run an Abrams tank on electricity.
This is what the Germans call cloud cuckoo land.
And go back to the French operative.
You talk about France and its scattered history, its succession of military failures.
If you want to know Anything about them.
When they were attacked in 1940, the commander-in-chief of the French army, Gamelin, Headquartered in the castle where Henry V of England died and where they executed Mata Hari.
Had no radio contact with any of his commanders.
He did it with pigeons in 1940s.
It was a ship without a periscope.
And that's what we're taking lessons from.
Anyway, it is beyond disgraceful.
It's an obscenity.
I don't know if you'll join me.
I invite everybody, all of your colleagues at the Heritage Foundation, anybody who served in the Trump administration, anybody who served with me in the Defense Department.
I'm going to make this my mission for the next seven days to make sure that this French socialist doesn't get to talk on Fort McNair on our dime as taxpayers.
That is an outrage.
This is not an Israeli Labor Party member talking about the need for Israeli-American cooperation or giving us a bird's eye view of what happened in 67 or 73 or in Operation Peace for Galilee.
This is propaganda promoted by people in this administration who actually believe this nonsense.
Yes, that's the point, that's the point.
Follow his work, join his team, you have to go to heritage.org, Distinguished Senior Fellow at the Heritage Foundation.
It is the conservative mothership under the incredible, incredible, really truly impressive new leadership of an individual who used to run the Texas Public Policy Foundation.
Professor Roberts was on the show for almost an hour, impressed us greatly.
We'll be back with Secretary Wilkie after these messages.
wherever you are, whatever you're doing, stay on this channel.
The End Yes, mic's on.
Here's the link that I found.
Oh, OK.
Put it up.
es.ndu.edu.
Good, excellent.
OK, Eisenhower School.
OK, good.
Good, good, good.
All right.
There's a couple of calls coming in.
Mike's on.
Yes, Mike's on.
Here's the link that I found.
Oh, okay.
Put it up.
es.ndu.edu.
Good.
Excellent.
Okay, Eisenhower School.
Okay, good.
Good, good, good.
All right.
There's a couple of calls coming in.
Yeah.
I'm going to ask your expectations for Russia and Ukraine.
All right.
He's got a few weeks before it turns to mud.
Yeah, exactly.
I'll talk about the displacement of his forces.
We can talk about that.
Is everybody all excited about Belarus?
Kill the mics.
Okay, mics on.
And then let's have a little, like day before, we'll just do a little, you know, mind meld on what we'll cover, what topics.
I mean, we can riff easily, but we'll just... Alright, so Jeff, once a month for an hour.
Good.
Excellent.
Hang on one second.
Which foot is it?
Oh, good.
Good, good, good.
Because when my quad detached, I was lucky it was my left, because you can still kind of drive.
That was unfortunate for me.
Because mine's the right, yeah.
Oh, that's right.
And it's right, all the ligaments of my ankle got busted, too.
Well, I separated my Achilles from my ankle bone a few years ago.
My dad did that.
That was on the right side.
My dad was playing doubles, and his partner whacked him in the tendon, and it separated.
Poor Clarence Thomas was just shooting free throws and all of a sudden heard this pop.
My dad had a titanium one from that day onward.
I think he could pick up Radio Luxembourg on it.
How's your wife?
Good, good, good.
Trying to negotiate her new position.
Well, I certainly enjoyed the 90 minutes.
Oh, she loved it.
She said it was very useful.
What's your first name?
I think it's a really exciting concept.
It is.
Cause nobody's doing it.
I wish I'd thought of.
It is.
But that goes, that ties right into this.
What's happened.
Totally.
Well, I'm just going to read these details so people know what the news is from this story and then we'll jump to the dislocations in Russia.
Where was this at?
I just emailed you back about that latest request.
For what?
The client meeting for Monday 14th.
Is it open?
The two times I gave you were open, because there are other meetings that same day.
Yeah, from now on, if you see an opening and it's not close to Newsmax or whatever, just block it out and do it.
Just go for it?
Okay.
I sent you two different options, depending on if you prefer the morning or afternoon.
Usually morning.
Okay.
Alright, 30 seconds?
Yeah.
What is that for?
It's another new client, I think.
Yeah, and you should CC Jeff on them.
The End
Portions of America First are brought to you in part by Stand With Israel Tour.
We're back with Secretary Wilkie, Veterans Affairs, and the Trump administration.
For those who don't know the story, I just want to give you a little bit of granularity before we change topic.
This is from the Daily Mail, of course.
Why is it all the boys, the bloody Daily Mail?
They always get the scoops on US stories.
Headline, commander in charge of the Kabul evacuation slammed the White House and Jill Biden for being, quote, distraction during chaos.
Claims high profile pestering for special favors to get allies out slowed military down.
This is FOIA requests, freedom of information.
Rear Admiral Peter Vassily said the Pentagon was being pulled in all directions from Biden officials, lawmakers, members of the media and even the Vatican.
He called the requests a distraction that created competition for already stressed resources.
The Pentagon's standard priority had been to first evacuate American citizens, then lawful permanent residents, and then Afghans who had aided the U.S.
Demands poured in at such a high volume that the Admiral felt the need to take certain forces away from the established rescue plan.
That's What's happening under a Biden administration with Jill Biden making demands to the theater commander on what should happen.
Let's post that, Eric.
Let's post that on our Twitter and Facebook pages.
We have to talk about the big story of this.
Go ahead for a second.
Yes.
I want I want to know if anyone is surprised.
You and I have talked about my former boss, Secretary Gates.
If you read Secretary Gates's book, Duty, he has chapter after chapter in that book of this same type of cheap political meddling.
Amateurism.
On the part of the then Vice President and his coterie.
And by the way, this is a man who was a complete straight shooter.
Gates is not a, you know, political Johnny-come-lately.
He's been in DC for decades.
Worked for Richard Nixon, worked for Ford, worked for Carter.
His book is an indictment of this president.
Who the best summation is from Gates, former CIA director, former Secretary of Defense, that Joe Biden back then, 10 years ago, had been wrong on every major strategic issue for 40 years, and now sadly he's the president.
Got to talk about Russia.
What is your expectation?
The ice is going to turn to mud soon, so what's your prognosis?
He only has a window that will last until the middle of March, or then he can't use his armor.
So let's look at Belarus first on Ukraine's northern front.
There are no organized strike forces there.
I mean, there are no armored divisions, guards armored divisions, mechanized infantry divisions.
It's a hodgepodge.
The only threat comes from the east.
Let's talk about Putin's way of doing business.
When he invaded Georgia, He did not go to Tbilisi.
He wanted a vassal state.
He did not want to own Georgia.
When he went into eastern Ukraine, he stopped because he did not want to own that.
If he goes in in a full-scale invasion, and he has not prepared his public for this, You're looking at years and years of guerrilla fighting.
You're looking at... Because they have a history in the Ukraine.
They have a history.
It's going to be bloody.
Which is why I think if he does move it'll be for a... A swift kind of partitioning movement like South Ossetia.
And then pull out and make it a vassal of the Russian Federation.
But this does go to what are we doing?
There should not be any movement of Russian forces that Ukraine does not know about if we are doing our job properly.
If we are taking our signals intelligence and handing it to them.
There should not be any surprises in this.
We should be preparing them for a counter cyber strike to take down His systems in the field, but given everything that you've said just about today's headlines, I'm not confident that we're doing any of that.
One other note, your friend Boris Johnson, someone I worked with when I worked on the Olympics in London for 2012 when he was mayor.
He's been talking very openly about killing off the bank accounts for the hundreds and hundreds of Putin cronies who are in London, including the owner of Chelsea Football Club, Mr. Abramovich.
And he has been sending that message, that you do this and all of the accounts are mine.
So maybe Putin's hearing from his buddies, his fellow kleptocrats.
Well, London has changed in the last 20 years with a lot of real estate being purchased by dubious characters who are in the Siloviki, the former authoritarian members of the former regime.
We're talking to Robert Wilkie.
We will be having him as a regular guest.
I am going to announce right now here on America First.
We are delighted.
He is a visiting senior fellow to the Heritage Foundation.

Making sense out of today's news, here's Dr. Sebastian Gorka.
Not that the FBI is even sniffing and looking, but what if somebody came in and said, you know what, we are going to subpoena all his account records and this and that, and then all of a sudden we make the news.
So it's more of a reputation risk.
That is the senior vice president of the Heartland Financial Bank in Minnesota that has closed down nine, nine of Mike Lindell's bank accounts, including his personal account and the account for his foundation that supports recovering drug addicts.
It's an outrage.
It's not cancel culture.

Let's go to Tina, Oklahoma.
Welcome, Tina.
No, it's Gina.
Gina!
Yeah, Spatch and Gorka, I'm your Catholic friend that calls from Oklahoma City.
Love it.
Yeah, and you're a fellow Catholic friend.
So I'm really pissed off.
I'm so pissed off, you don't know how mad, as a military spouse.
First, my husband was in Special Ops.
he transferred over to medical for our family.
And there's times that he left, I'm the one who packed his bags when he used to have to go, didn't know where he was, didn't know where he'd gone, but to protect our country for God and country.
I'm pissed off at this administration who says he's a devout, good Catholic that our supposedly Pope says he is, which he's not, because I'm so pissed.
You don't know how pissed I am.
Slow down.
Slow down.
Count to ten.
Okay.
Tell us the thing we've got.
We've got a full call board.
What is the one thing you want to share with our millions of listeners?
Let me tell you something.
We're trying to hold the line.
I'm asking everybody to pray for him and all of our soldiers because they're shoving down evil down our soldiers' throats.
Yeah.
And not worrying about our God and country first.
But worrying about others, and about this president, and about Austin, Lloyd Austin, who is supposedly a Catholic too, is not granting any medical exemptions, has not yet.
And so, I ask for prayers from everybody to pray for our military, because they are harassed every day.
And my husband is supposed to go down to Memphis, and he cannot go until he gets his exemption, his religious exemption.
Yeah.
And he is scared he might have to take the vaccine to save his family.
And I told him, I do not want him to cross that line.
He needs to hold the line.
We have a friend who just got rejected for his religious exemption, and they're trying to get a lawyer to fight it.
So I'm pressing you with all my heart.
What is your, Gina, what is your husband's first name?
Jason.
Okay, we will do that, Gina.
We will pray for you, for Jason, and for all those who are being forced to choose between the sovereignty of their body and serving their nation and doing their job.
I know it's tough.
Please give him our best.
Hold the line.
Stay on the line, Gina.
Let's give Gina a choice for him and for her and Jason.
of what they would like to have from our website TheSebGorkaStore.com We need to support them, so please stay on the line, talk to Mr. G, and allow her to choose what she would like.
Okay, let's go to Joe, Illinois, line one.
Dr. G, Mr. Seb.
Yeah, my grandfather was in World War I. My grandmother's brother, my Uncle Pete, was in World War I.
My dad's brother, my uncle Frank, made the invasion of New Guinea and the Philippines.
My dad was in Korea.
Why are we not teaching our children why we're free?
Because radicals have taken over the teacher training colleges and the unions are controlled by leftists and they are pumping out propaganda every single day in our public schools.
We let them.
We let them.
We lurched to the snooze button.
We built our businesses, made sure we paid our bills at the end of the month and we let the radical left for the last 70 years take over the institutions.
Hollywood, the media, the schools, academe and now social media.
We let them do it, Joe.
Dr. G, we need to straighten this stuff out.
There's a reason that we're free, and it's 99.9% that young men went overseas and gave their lives.
Completely.
I utterly completely concur.
It's because Americans, brave men Americans, died and bled for this nation.
Thank you, Joe.
Let's go to Doug, Los Angeles.
Hi, Dr. Gorka.
I just wanted to join you in decrying the lack of readiness of the military.
I'm a former Top Gun, F-111, and the emphasis on non-combat related education is definitely to blame.
But I also want to say that General Milley became the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff because of an appointment by our former President.
Yeah, he did, and he played very, very nicely until he became the chairman.
And don't forget, he was chief of staff of the army from 2015, before President Trump became president.
And it was the natural progression from chief of staff of the army to the chard, to the chairman of the Joint Chiefs.
And he didn't do any of this garbage before we appointed him.
He didn't talk about white rage and CRT.
It's only once he became in and he saw the writing on the wall that he let this garbage spew out.
So this isn't, you know, you can't blame, you know, the appearances on President Trump because he played nicey-nice until he saw the writing on the wall.
I do want to point out that there were alternatives, that the four-star who was the chairman, or not the chairman, but who was the Air Force Chief of Staff, was the leading candidate, and it wasn't until there was the spat over who was going to be in charge of Space Command, whether it was going to stay in the Air Force or not, That they went to Millie.
Yeah.
And I think that was a profound mistake.
Well, clearly it was.
Clearly it was.
But he was a chameleon.
He didn't show himself for what he was.
But it's not just about one guy or two guys, Doug.
And God bless you.
Thank you for your service.
Stay on the line.
Let's get Doug one of our America First hats.
It's the bloody general officer call.
I saw it.
I was at National Defense University where we run the capstone.
Which is when the 05s, the 06s get trained to become one-stars.
They became political animals.
Petraeus was held up.
That philandering, anti-classified information joke was held up as a paragon of the officer corps.
So this is about a much larger phenomenon than one individual.
But thank you for your service.
We are coming to you live from the ReliefFactor.com studios.

Cut 2.
The assumption that the best protein comes from corpses is a racist belief.
How do you know the animal would have picked you to feed off their corpse?
21st century animal eating requires our complicity in a new colonialism.
These events especially affect girls and young women.
Your hamburger comes with a dose of misogyny.
Okay, um, you've got to get Cassio to post that.
That's the one that Peterson was talking about.
It gets worse as it goes.
Hamburgers are misogynist and racist.
Can you post that?
Peterson talks about this instead of...
America First.
Can you believe it?
They are saying that they don't agree with America First.
How do you say that?
Magnificent.
Uh, can you play that TikTok video, Eric, that's cut for?
Just hit it.
I'm just gonna say, if I see any of you little fricks at school without a mask on, be prepared to get decked in the mouth.
When has a young girl learned something like that?
That if she sees a fellow student in high school, she's gonna deck him in the mouth.
I'll tell you where.

What we should do is pass a law to Make you immune from liability if you punch some unvaccinated person right in the faces, which I'd really like to do.
You're not vaccinated and you don't have any medical reason not to be?
You're a piece of s***.
Okay.
I'll just punch you right in the goddamn face.
That's the way I look at these people.
Agreed.
Agreed.
That's what you see.
You see behind the curtain.
Hey, that's what the Democrats believe.
We want legal immunity to punch you in the face if you're unvaxxed.
They're all scum.
They're really scum.
And if you vote for them, I don't care.
You're scum too.
Line three, Derek Cleveland.
Hey, Dr. Gorka, thank you for taking my call today.
Sure.
So I called to describe the delightful experience of being kicked out of a musical with my three young daughters, ages seven, five, and three.
So before that, really quick, So you always use the word cretin, cretin.
I'm surprised you never say miscreant to describe certain individuals.
I think it's a little weak.
I think that criminals is even more important.
But we've got 90 seconds left.
So you were at a musical with your young girls and you were kicked out.
Why?
Oh, well, for refusing to keep these masks strapped to their face.
So I went in and I decided to peel it out.
And so I normally I would take a clear plastic face shield because I would prefer that for places that make you wear them.
So I wore that and I go in with my girls and, you know, as we're walking and all of a sudden the lady says, uh, sir, yeah, everyone has to wear a mask.
And really, you know, she's a three-year-old child.
And as a rule of the best, And so, okay.
So we sit down in the front row.
Okay, fine.
I didn't want to make a scene.
You know, they're little kids.
I didn't want to, you know, just ruin this and get kicked out right away.
So, okay, fine.
Put these little masks on them.
But sure enough, I could feel everyone staring at me because of the face shield.
And sure enough, before they begin, the one man comes up.
I mean, You know, just to draw all attention right on me.
Sir, you have to wear this.
And this is in Cleveland?
Yes, the Cleveland area.
This is who they are.
They are little fascists.
That's who they want you to be as well, to conform.
But thank you for telling us that story.
I'm Sebastian Gorka.
This is America First.
Next up, the first ever confirmed ambassador for the Trump administration, David Friedman.
Here, one-on-one. Here,
Thank you.
one-on-one. one-on-one.
Thank you.
The End
The End The End you you Thank you.
Welcome, dear friends, to America First, one-on-one.
It is great when the band gets back together.
We are always excited to have former members of the Trump administration, especially very senior members, come on the show.
Now, with some regularity, the Secretary of Veterans Affairs, Secretary Wilkie, is on the show.
We had Ben Carson, the great Dr. Ben Carson, just a week ago.
And today, it's been far too long, we have the man who Well, he played a historic role, not just in the recognizing of Jerusalem, the moving of our embassy, but in breaking the mold of how we bring peace to the Middle East, to that benighted region.
We are joined today by Ambassador David Friedman, our former ambassador to the State of Israel.
Bless you, David.
Welcome to America First.
Thanks, bless you, and really great to be with you.
I think the last time you were on the show, correct me if I'm wrong, we're here to celebrate your brand new book, Sledgehammer, but I think the last time we spoke to you, you were in a bomb shelter in Israel with your grandchildren.
Am I remembering correctly?
Yeah, yeah.
Unfortunately, it was in the summer of this past summer.
Hamas has now got missiles that, you know, they fire them randomly into civilian areas and they now reach Tel Aviv.
And I was with some of my kids and grandchildren and the rocket started flying.
And, you know, anybody that thinks that because Israel has Iron Dome that intercepts, you know, 90 percent of these missiles, that it's not a big deal.
They ought to come and experience that, because waking up little children in the middle of the night And the rushing with, you know, seconds to spare into a shelter is not an experience I wish on anybody.
I want to begin with you, with the amazing story of what you did in the Middle East later on.
So let's start at the beginning.
For those who don't follow the protocols of international diplomacy and the fact that you were in fact the first confirmed ambassador of the Trump administration, will you tell us your personal history with Mr Donald Trump before he became candidate and president?
Because you've known the man for quite some time.
Give us a little bit of a potted story about who David Friedman is and how you've known Donald Trump over the years.
Well, I practiced law for about 35 years.
And during those years, I came to represent Donald Trump on occasion, not often, but, you know, some of the more high profile cases that he was involved in, in particular, the Atlantic City casinos that went into bankruptcy.
I should say that I point this out in my book.
People accuse him of not having good business skills because of what happened in Atlantic City.
There's not a single person who made money in Atlantic City.
I mean, it's not a single hotel that was profitable in Atlantic City.
It's not a single hotel that didn't go bankrupt, you know, in Atlantic City.
So, you know, it just was an impossible place to make any money.
But so we I got to know him there.
I had some successes with him that I have to tell you were really improbable.
You know, I was I was a good lawyer But you know, I don't think I was that good a lawyer and I I really had had great successes And so at the time, you know I was happy to be successful and I was happy that I had a good relationship with him We forged a friendship that lasted many years, but you know looking back on it now 20 years afterwards I really feel that you know, I'm a religious person.
I'm the son of a rabbi and I really feel that I Some of this, uh, some of this relationship was being forged for a reason, you know, that I didn't know it at the time, but I, you know, who would have known, but looking back on it, you know, here was a guy who in 20 years was going to be the most powerful person on earth in a position No, it is truly providential.
impact the U.S.-Israel relationship and place me in a role to execute that agenda.
And I think everything's connected.
No, it is truly providential.
If you look at if you go back in time just to 2015 and how the whole establishment was had utter certitude.
New York Times said Hillary 92 percent in the bag.
Huffington Post, the day of the election, Hillary, 96% in the bag.
There's no way Donald Trump could win, especially after the Billy Bush affair.
You have this absolute act of God, as far as I'm concerned, and of course, a man who kept the promises that Republican and Democrat Presidents had broken for 23 years with the recognition of Jerusalem, the moving of the embassy.
We'll talk about that.
But let's let's pull back a little bit.
We're talking to David Friedman, our ambassador to Israel in the Trump administration.
The new book is Sledgehammer.
How breaking with the past brought peace to the Middle East.
I've always said one of the greatest pleasures of working for President Trump was, there was no such thing as a sacred cow.
The only thing that was sacred to him was American interests and the safety and prosperity of Americans.
Apart from that, if you dared come to him with an explanation for doing something that was, well, that's because how we've been doing it for 20 years, you'd be in big trouble.
So it really was four years of breaking out of unimaginative thinking, was it not, Ambassador?
A hundred percent.
And you're exactly right about President Trump.
There was no presumption that the way we did things in the past were necessarily right.
Look, he ran on a message.
that much of america was broken and so why in the world would he come into power and just keep doing things the same old way now the middle east had been broken for 50 years i mean that's really where the derivation of the title of my book comes from i mean it needed to be reset not gently but forcefully it was almost like a bone that had broken and not been set correctly You had to break it again in order to reset it, in order to get it to heal to the right level.
And that's, that's where we found the Middle East.
I mean, for 25, 26 years, there'd been no progress.
The two peace treaties that had been made in history resulted in, you know, cold relationships between the leadership, but absolutely no relationship between the people of Israel and Jordan or Egypt.
And in every couple of years there would be an intifada, there would be a war with Gaza, and it was all because the United States was projecting weakness in the region.
They were under some misguided notion of balance, that somehow we should treat Israel on par with its Palestinian terrorist neighbors, that somehow we owed that to the region to be balanced, when in fact Israel is One of our most important allies in the world.
It does enormous good work to keep Americans safe at home.
It has eyes on threats that could affect America and shares that with us at every opportunity.
Israel is a country that actually values, I think, American life as much as they value the lives of their own people.
I mean, they have an incredible working relationship with America and they love America.
And we were going to treat Israel the same way that we treat the Palestinians who, you know, who celebrated on 9-11 and who, you know, pay terrorists to kill Jews and to kill Christians.
I mean, that was the world that I inherited, you know, with regard to the Mideast policy back in 2017.
And thank God I had a president who supported me.
And resetting it, you know, completely, absolutely completely.
And given that broken record, that benighted region for 50 years, what was that like when you got that phone call that this non-swamp-dwelling anti-politician wanted you to be his presidential representative in Israel?
How trepidatious were you when you actually got that first phone call, David?
Well, I was, but I have to tell you the truth.
I pushed forward really hard.
I mean, I did not wait for the phone to ring.
As a matter of fact, I was there on election day, November 8th of 2016 at the ceremony.
I went home with my family.
We were all there.
I took a shower.
I drove right back to Trump Tower.
I got back into Trump Tower at 8 o'clock in the morning.
And of course it was surrounded by Secret Service, but I made my way in and I went up to the office and there was President-elect Donald Trump, the only guy in the office at the time.
He had gotten there ahead of everybody else.
I mean, he's incredibly energetic.
And I walked right in there and I said, uh, Mr. President-elect.
And he said, wait a minute, what happened to Donald?
And I said, no, no, from now on, it's Mr. President-elect.
Then it'll be Mr. President when you take office.
And I said to him, you know, I've mentioned this before, I really want this job.
And he said to me, look, I can't think of anybody better for it.
You're going to have to let me, you know, select a few other people first, like the Secretary of State and the Secretary of Defense and my Attorney General.
Give me a little bit of time.
I mean, Israel is important, but I got to I got to handle some of those other things first.
And then in very short order, you know, December 15th of 2016, I was he called me.
He was ready to go.
We put out a press release.
It was it was an incredible moment.
For me.
And so in the press release, I said with the permission of the White House that I look forward to serving America.

And we might even say hello to Ambassador Friedman.
Maybe we can make that happen.
David, let's talk about the peace process.
I remember, this is a photograph, I can't remember when I took it, but this is when I bumped into you in the halls of the Eisenhower Executive Office building.
No, this is Trump Tower.
This is Trump International.
We were there maybe before you were confirmed or after you were confirmed.
My experience, I was, I had a national...
I had a national security brief but I was doing things with ISIS and China so I wasn't specifically focused on the Middle East.
But I have to do a little bit of inside baseball.
So Jared was the point person along with Jason and I have to commend them because at the beginning I went into them and I said look guys I've been doing counter-terrorism and studying the bad guys in the region for two decades plus if you want any help I'm happy to come in give you a little bit of a background to their Credit Ambassador.
They said we are not experts and we're going to go back to basics, a tabula rasa, and we're going to look at everything with a completely unbiased eye, no baggage be brought to it.
We're going to see if there is any good faith on behalf of the Palestinians.
I told them the guys running that part of the world are not acting in good faith, are funding terrorists, but if you want to find Well, they were incredibly diligent and they met with everybody and they talked to everybody and I participated in many of those discussions.
their own backs.
They learned the reality.
And I think it was that fresh approach that helped the whole Trump team accomplish what they accomplished.
Well, they were incredibly diligent and they met with everybody and they talked to everybody.
And I participated in many of those discussions.
I'll confess to you, I did not come in on a clean slate.
I had very strong views.
I'd been to Israel probably a hundred times since I was bar mitzvahed in 1971.
I knew the country well.
I knew the leadership well.
I knew the history well.
I'd studied it my whole life and I had strong views.
But at the same time, my relationship with Jared and Jason was always very close and very respectful.
And I said, guys, you know, you You do the work you want to do.
I'm confident you will come around to my way of thinking, but I want you to I want you to get there on your own.
And so, you know, they have lots of meetings.
Jason met extensively with a lot of the Palestinian leadership.
And one day he comes to me and says, you know, you know, these guys are impossible.
And I said, well, OK, you know.
That's, you know, that's the right conclusion.
They are impossible.
I mean, the Palestinian Authority is a corrupt organization.
The leadership is a corrupt organization.
They put money in their own pockets.
They don't serve their own people.
They are a misogynistic society.
They are a homophobic society.
You know, all the liberals who want to create a Palestinian state, they should know that that state will outlaw homosexuality.
I wonder how many people feel good about that.
You know, all those who advocate for a Palestinian state, that's what they're going to get.
There's no human rights.
There's no religious tolerance.
There's no freedom of expression There's no financial system that has checks and balances on on transactions.
So Yeah, the the Palestinian and those are the good guys, right?
That's the Palestinian Authority Those are the ones that we're supposed to make peace with half the Palestinians are governed by Hamas which is a rogue malign terrorist organization supported by Iran and So, it's an enormous challenge to get past the Palestinian leadership.
This is not a critique of the Palestinian people.
You know, the Palestinian people didn't vote for Hamas.
Hamas took over brutally.
The Palestinian people didn't vote for Abu Mazen, didn't vote for Mahmoud Abbas either.
The last election in the Palestinian Authority was about 16 years ago, and he was elected for a four-year term.
And he's been sitting around for the last 12 years without an election.
So, I'm not blaming the Palestinian people, but they are grossly deserved by their leadership.
The book is Sledgehammer.
It just came out two days ago.
How breaking with the past brought peace to the Middle East.
And the author is Ambassador David Friedman, first ambassador confirmed by President Trump.
Ambassador Friedman, let's talk about that decision because by the time, I think it's one of the metrics of who Donald Trump is, a man who's been accused of being an anti-Semite, a racist and what have you, that by the time we entered the White House,
23 years of American presidents breaking the promise on both side of the aisle Democrats and Republicans who'd promised to Israel 23 years previously that we're going to recognize Jerusalem and we're going to move the embassy every six months.
So 46 times the incumbent president had to write a little memo.
Sorry, we can't do it right now to our Israeli brethren.
How significant Was the fact that now we had a man who was prepared to do it.
How much does that speak to the fiber of who Donald Trump is?
It was the singular event, in my opinion, that launched the president's foreign policy in the right direction.
It had the advantage.
In the first place, he kept the promise.
In the second place, he showed that he was not like every other politician that preceded him, that when he kept the promise, it actually meant something.
It showed that he was not afraid of rogue actors who were threatening the United States.
I mean, think about it.
If we're not going to comply with American law, if we're going to ignore the will of the American people, Who passed the Jerusalem Embassy Act through their congressional representatives by overwhelming majorities.
This is one of the most bipartisan pieces of legislation in history.
Well, if the president's going to ignore that, why?
Who's he afraid of?
So the president said, I'm afraid of the Palestinians.
The United States of America is afraid of a reaction of the Palestinians.
You know, we're the largest, most powerful, most moral nation in the world.
We're going to be held back from complying with our own laws because the Palestinians don't like it.
I mean, it's absurd.
And so the message is, in addition to being so important for the relationship with Israel and something that's so much buoyed the Israeli people, the Jewish people, the Christian people who recognize that Jerusalem is the capital of Israel, not because of the Jerusalem the Christian people who recognize that Jerusalem is the capital of Israel, not because of the Jerusalem Embassy Act, but because of what King David did 3,000 years ago when he
So it meant so much to all of us, but also it resonated with North Korea, it resonated with Iran, it resonated with Russia.
All of our adversaries saw this and said, you know what?
This guy, this guy's not a regular politician.
This guy makes a promise.
This guy's going to keep it.
He draws a red line.
He holds it.
It really set our foreign policy going, I think, in exactly the right direction.
Yeah, it's incredible.
And at the moment, you know, I can talk about this now.
When he made that final determination, he told the cabinet, many members of which didn't want to support it, I'm doing this because I promised the American people, I promised our cousins in Israel, and also it's the right thing to do.
That's the definition of American leadership.
Get the inside story from the man who was there at the table making history, Ambassador David Friedman.

The End
So many things I'd like to ask you about your time in the administration.
Let me just, if I can for the next few minutes, focus on the price that was paid by people who said yes.
Members of the family who went in, people like myself, people like you, were you ready for the the firestorm of invective, of lies, of propaganda?
You're a lawyer, you're a man who has to live in the real world, but what you witnessed for four years done to President Trump and those who served him, what has become of this nation's political culture and the media?
It was very hard to watch.
You know, I was watching it from a distance because I was 6,000 miles away.
But it was, you know, every morning this guy would wake up and those around him would wake up without having any idea about what kind of malicious, false, and defamatory accusations would be made against him.
And people would repeat it and repeat it and repeat it.
And I marveled, frankly, at how he Jared, who, you know, who was not the candidate who didn't run for president, but who was tagged as being, you know, there only by reason of a, of a familial relationship.
Um, and, and others, uh, you know, you and, and others, the, the accusations, I recall the accusations against you that were, that were horrific.
So nasty, so untrue.
Um, you know, it's tough on, it's tough on people's families.
It's tough.
It's tough on it.
You're always kind of, you know, playing defense.
But to the credit of the president and he set the practice for all of us.
You know, you get up in the morning, you take your hits, you put your head down, you fight back and you move forward and you do the work of the American people and you make the country as great as you can.
And I think that that just permeated through all of us.
I mean, I think we all felt we were doing something bigger than ourselves.
Something more important than ourselves.
And we understood that there was a price to be paid, but we thought it was worth the price.
And I can tell you personally, um, uh, it was the greatest, uh, four years of my life to, to, uh, serve the president and to serve America, uh, in, in strengthening the U S Israel relationship and whatever hits I took.
And I took a lot.
I mean, there were a lot of, uh, you know, there was, there was an organization called J street that literally fundraised Their entire fundraising campaign was Stop David Friedman.
They published things that weren't true.
They were malicious.
But you know what?
I'd pay that price gladly again if I could return to this job.
Well, God bless you for doing what you did and for standing in the breach.
The point is simply to make sure that good people don't serve in conservative administrations.
If you look at the last year, Ambassador, it doesn't look as if things have gotten any better.
At least when you look at the media and what some have comically called Trump derangement syndrome.
The hatred, the vituperation, the slime manufacturing, the industrial level of propaganda doesn't seem to have abated.
Do you concur?
I concur.
And the corollary is, can you imagine, can you just imagine, Seb, if President Trump was given the benefit of the doubt, you know, the way that Joe Biden is in the media?
I can't even imagine a world where, you know, we would have friendly reporters that would ask You know, lay-up questions, softball questions, where the reporters would be curated at every press conference.
They would curate the reporters to make sure that only the easy questions were raised.
So yeah, there's a double standard.
It's not going anywhere.
It's not going away.
We have to fight through it.
I don't think we can change it.
I just think we have to fight through it.

ORCHESTRA
PLAYS ORCHESTRA
PLAYS Ambassador, there were many, many speeches.
I am friends with the presidents, the former president's speech writers, who were amazing young men.
There are several, many, multifarious, pivotal moments of the four years of the Trump administration.
I think the speech in Riyadh, in the heart of the Hijaz, talking to more than 40 Arab and Muslim heads of state, where the president said, it's up to you!
To clean up the mosques, to clean up the terrorism from your societies was one of those historic moments.
I remember a woman from the Middle East two weeks later saying, that's the speech we've been waiting for for 11 years.
That was quite a stunning thing to hear.
But perhaps in the broad sweep of history, with the challenges internally and externally to our civilization, at least for me, the most important moment was the President's speech in Warsaw at the site of the the Warsaw Uprising.
The Polish government wanted the speech to be made in Warsaw at some palace.
We said no, we want the President to be there next to the statue Of the Poles coming out of the sewers to fight the Nazis.
That incredible statue.
Finally, we convinced the Poles.
The President gave the speech.
And there's a line in that speech I want to play for you right now.
Play cut.
We have to remember that our defense is not just a commitment of money.
It is a commitment of will.
Because as the Polish experience reminds us, the defense of the West ultimately rests not only on means, but also on the will of its people to prevail and be successful and get what you have to have.
The fundamental question of our time is whether the West has the will to survive.
Do we have the confidence in our values to defend them at any cost?
Do we have enough respect for our citizens to protect our borders?
Do we have the desire and the courage to preserve our civilization in the face of those who would subvert and destroy it?
I'm not talking about politics now.
I'm talking about what I believe to be the question, whether it's you with your grandchildren in Tel Aviv, in a bomb shelter, hiding from the rockets that savages are raining down on the Israeli civilian population, or whether it's Is this ISIS beheading Jordanian fighter pilots or whether it's the fentanyl flooding across our borders?
Isn't this the true nature of what we were trying to achieve?
Isn't this the question for our time, whether we have the backbone or the courage to stand up to those who would try to destroy Judeo-Christian civilization, Mr. Ambassador?
It absolutely is.
That is the question of our time.
We were doing okay.
I think we had a backbone.
We stood on principle.
We backed it up with our strength and our military when we needed to.
Never looked for a fight, but never ran from a fight.
And that's the way to preserve the world, the Western world, Western civilization for the future, for our grandchildren.
We're not doing it now.
Yeah, we are not, and we are returning to the eight years of the Obama administration where the bad men around the world were doing bad things, whether it's 120,000 troops on the Ukrainian border, whether it's ballistic missiles over the Sea of Japan or a re-militarized China.
We are seeing, we are witnessing it again, and that's why we need our former boss Donald Trump back in the White House, God willing.
The book is Sledgehammer, How Breaking with the Past Brought Peace to the Middle East.
I want everybody to buy the book.
It's been out now for two days.
It is number one in its category on Amazon.
Congratulations, Mr. Ambassador.
I want everybody to order it, but give us a little tease.
Tell us about some of the things in the book that perhaps will surprise people or surprise you as you were the point person for the President in the Middle East.
Well, what I tried to do, consistent with the name of the book, is to show some of the challenges that I faced.
And I think the most important one was the challenges I had with the U.S.
State Department.
And I make a couple of points there.
For example, at one point, as I was helping to orchestrate President Trump's first visit to Israel, What?
And he was the first sitting president ever to visit the Western Wall, the only to this day, the only sitting president to visit the Western Wall.
And I was pushing hard on it.
And I got a call from a senior member of the State Department who called me up out of the blue and said, you know what, Mr. Ambassador, I have a word of advice for you.
Don't be so Jewish.
You know, what?
What?
Yeah.
And and I said, you know what?
I'm a big boy.
I've been around all kinds of ethnic epithets in my life And you're not offending me by what you're saying, but let me ask you a question.
Why do the laws of political correctness apply to everyone other than Jews?
I mean, why do you feel comfortable telling me that?
You wouldn't go to any other ethnic group and tell them that.
I'm trying to imagine an African-American ambassador who's been sent to South Africa or to Kenya As the American ambassador.
I'm trying to imagine a State Department official getting away, you know, not being escorted out of the building nanoseconds after saying to the President's envoy, can you be a little less African, please?
Yeah, exactly.
It was, but you know what?
It was a good lesson.
So I internalized that because it helped me understand what I needed to do.
And I'll tell you what I did, Seb, just to give you an example.
A couple of days after I got to Jerusalem, it's the 50th anniversary of the reunification of Jerusalem.
And, you know, enormously happy day in Israel.
And Prime Minister Netanyahu invited me to sit next to him at the opening ceremony of the Jerusalem Day celebrations.
About an hour before I get there, I get a call again from the State Department.
Mr. Ambassador, You can't go.
We hear you're going to a Jerusalem Day celebration.
You can't go.
I said, well, it's the 50th anniversary of the reunification of Jerusalem.
No, you can't go.
It's a very controversial event.
I said, why?
Well, the Palestinians don't like it.
I said, do you know what happened when Israel gained control of Jerusalem?
The Western Wall from 1948 to 1967 under Jordanian stewardship was a parking lot.
Not just a parking lot for cars, there's a parking lot for camels and for donkeys.
And so Israel has regained control.
They have opened up a beautiful plaza by the Western Wall.
It's accessible to all faiths, Muslims, Christians, Jews, people of no faith at all.
Anyone's welcome there.
And you're telling me I shouldn't celebrate that?
And she said, no, you can't go.
And I said, well, I'm going to go.
Okay.
And here's what I'm, what I want you to do.
Take down this number, call the person on the other end of the phone, tell him all the reasons you think I shouldn't go to this celebration.
And if you can convince him, and if he calls me back and tells me not to go, I won't go.
And she said, well, who's that person?
I said, this is president Trump's private cell number.
I'm sure he's dying to hear from you.
I'm sure he can't wait to hear all your arguments.
And when you talk to him, you know, if he calls you back within the hour, I won't go.
Otherwise I'm going.
And that's the way I learned to deal with the State Department.
I work for President Trump.
I don't work for any of you.
I take my orders directly from President Trump.
I'm his personal envoy in the region.
And that goes for Rex Tillerson.
It goes for you as well.
It goes for everybody.
I work for President Trump.
If President Trump wants to fire me, it's his privilege, I'll leave the next day.
But until then, I'm going to serve his agenda, I'm going to say constructions from him, and I'm going to make the case directly to him for what I think the US-Israel policy ought to be.
And he'll either agree or disagree, but he'll hear it from me.
Not filtered through you.
People don't realize that actually that is the fact of the matter.
Every ambassador is the presidential representative to that country, whether it's the court of St.
James or whether it's Jerusalem.
And that's the kind of fortitude we need more of.
Maybe we could see Ambassador Friedman back in a future Trump administration.
This is One on One. One on
One. One
on One.
One on One.
Um, a little bit of inside baseball.
Well, no, just a little bit of a personal story.
One of the most...
Sad decisions I had to make.
I'd left the administration but I was invited to the opening of the embassy in Jerusalem.
I couldn't make it for other reasons.
I wish I could have been there.
We've been showing the b-roll from that.
But when I did go to Israel, next every year there's an amazing anniversary of 9-11 counterterrorism conference and I went there to speak.
And it's run by Boaz Ganor, the best counterterrorism expert in Israel.
And this tells you who David Friedman the man is.
He's the ambassador.
He's the ambassador.
And he hears that I'm coming and he wants to talk to me.
So he comes to the conference site.
The American ambassador comes to the conference site and we just sit down in a little alcove to chat.
That's not your average ambassador.
That's because he's a real man and he takes his job seriously.
Thank you.
I want to thank you in front of millions of listeners and viewers right now, David, if I may, for doing what you did, for taking your mission, your portfolio so deadly seriously and serving the president and the interests of America.
I'm going to go off topic completely now for the last two minutes I have with you.
Given the last two years of what we've witnessed under Covid, Given what you fought in terms of the swamp, the people at the State Department, the media, so on and so forth, would you just say a word on the renewed importance of courage in our civilization today?
It's what we're lacking most.
And look, you know, One of the great conservative principles that I've always admired, and it applies to my faith as well, is personal accountability.
Governments need to trust their citizens to make the right decisions for themselves and to be accountable for the decisions that they make.
And I think had we adopted that view from day one, we inform everybody.
I mean, we're talking about COVID.
If we would have informed everybody, honestly, what the risks, what works, what doesn't, and said, look, nobody wants to die.
Nobody wants to get sick.
You know, there may be, you know, a small segment of society which needs to be isolated, but everybody else, you know, take care of yourselves, use your own judgment.
Nobody knows your own health better than yourselves.
There's no one size fits all and go on and lead your life being informed.
I think we would have been in a much better place today and not be in this world where we rely upon the government to make judgments that we're more than capable of making on our own.
Well, that went far too quickly.
Can we tempt you back?
Will you join us on my Newsmax show, Mr. Ambassador?
We can continue.
I will come and talk with you at any time.
I enjoy it that much.
Fabulous.
