Sebastian Gorka FULL SHOW: What President Trump does in 2024
|
Time
Text
Thank you.
Trump has indicated that he plans to announce a 2024 run in the next month or so.
What impact would that have on the midterms and would it benefit Democrats in your opinion?
Do I ever even mention his name?
Would I even waste my time talking about him?
I don't speculate on who's running in 2024, even if it's the former occasional occupant of the White House.
That's up to the Republicans to figure out what impact it may have on them.
Former occasional occupant of the White House?
You mean my old boss?
Who ran America for four years, Nancy?
The man who crushed ISIS?
Who got our economy to be the largest it has ever been in history?
Who got inflation down to 1.3%?
The man who got us so energy independent we were actually exporting Exporting more energy than we need?
That occasional occupant of the White House that I'm never going to talk about.
Well that's weird because you've got a committee that talks about him every stinking day for hours investigating him.
Welcome dear friends, I'm Sebastian Gawker.
This is America First.
You're listening to the Salem News Channel.
So much to discuss.
It's Friday.
Unleash the phones.
It's Ask Dr. G Anything.
It's Second Amendment Friday.
We will be joined by... I forgot.
She's Speaker of the House, right?
Oh yeah.
We're going to talk to a real Speaker of the House.
None other than Newt Gingrich.
The legend.
The greatest political mind.
Live in America today, we'll be joining us by former White House colleague, the Baron will be with us, Boris Epstein.
We'll be joined by Darren Beatty to discuss January 6th and this strange case of Ray Epps and also Jim Carrafano from the Heritage Foundation.
But first, I have to give you a little bit of intel about President Trump from a little party I went to yesterday, a book launch party.
But first things first, Jeff, am I a Am I unfriendly?
What are my social graces like?
You've seen me function in public.
I know I have a certain persona.
Am I rude or unfriendly or weird in public?
No, I think you're pretty good so far for what I've seen.
Lots of selfies I've seen you take.
Selfies, selfies.
If I had a dollar for every selfie, I'd have a stack of dollars.
Okay, he says I'm alright.
From Jeff, that's a big compliment.
I was standing outside in the garden yesterday at a friend's house.
No names.
The names will not be used to protect the innocent.
And I was early because I went straight from the show to this friend's house for this book party.
And I arrived early, and I said to them, don't worry about me.
I'm going to entertain myself.
I'm going to stand in your yard.
It was a little bit cooler yesterday here in the swamp.
And I brought some cigars, and I'm going to smoke my cigar outside, which is great.
And then, you know, in about half an hour, the guests started to trickle in.
First guest who walks out onto the, um, it's kind of like a little patio area.
It was really weird.
older guy maybe in his sixties comes through the door looks me straight in the eye and then says hello nothing else not how's your cigar my name's John Smith who are you nothing and he just stared at me and I thought you're in your sixties dude do you not like say hi my name is or who are you and then he he I just
It was strange.
Anyway, I finally engaged in discussion with this individual.
I don't know how you get to that age without knowing a minimum of social graces.
Just wanted to share that with you because it kind of boggles my mind.
Turns out this individual, no names, is a federal immigration judge.
Yeah, so I thought let's have a little chat about what does a federal immigration judge do in the time of Biden?
With Alejandro Mayorkas opening the borders.
And my suspicions were correct.
If the illegal alien appears... Oh, by the way, I didn't know this.
If you've been here for 10 years and you're caught as an illegal alien and you have one relative who's an American who's been naturalized You get a court hearing where they let you stay.
What a lovely loophole.
Just evade capture, don't pay taxes for a decade, and then when you get caught, oh yeah, my third cousin, twice removed, is an American citizen now.
Oh, okay then, here's your green card.
But what he confirmed for me is nobody's getting kicked out.
Nobody.
Unless you are literally found in flagrante delicto, killing somebody or robbing a bank, you're going to get amnestied.
They have said basically anybody.
You're here legally.
That's fine.
We need voters.
That's from the horse's mouth.
That is from a federal immigration judge.
So don't buy it when they say, oh, the dastardly conservative replacement theory conspiracy.
No, it's actually being done by your federal government with your taxpayer dollars.
Liberals not having babies.
How are they going to stay in power?
By amnestying millions, literally.
We don't know whether it's 11 or 40 million illegal aliens that they think, hey you're brown therefore you're going to vote for us.
Second bit, again, the names have been changed to protect the innocent.
A good guy rolled up who is a very big activist in conservative circles who told me, I don't think he was flexing, he was just sharing that yesterday I was talking with President Trump and we were discussing When he's going to run.
A lot of stuff in the news, in my preparations for the show today.
Lots of alleged coverage of the President's decision.
All I'll say is, somebody has a very good idea.
And it may be the President.
And that idea is the following.
To announce before the midterms, not after the midterms.
And I think it's genius.
If there is a massive blue sweep, can we please take the colour blue back, okay?
Every socialist commie left-wing party in the world, from the Soviet Union to Labour in the UK, is red!
That is not the colour of patriotism!
The colour of patriots and conservatives is blue!
It was until 16 years ago, when a certain journalist flipped it for a night on election night, Because they didn't want to be associated with the color red.
Well, it's time to flip it back!
Thank you very much.
So if there is a blue tidal wave, a tsunami of Republican wins, especially America First wins in the House and maybe, God willing, in the Senate, then it's kind of not a big deal, not a big story if after that there's an announcement that I'm throwing my hat into the ring, I'm going to be your nominee or one of them.
No.
After you see that clip from Nancy, I don't even talk about the sometime incumbent of the White House.
The only reason they want to destroy him, the only reason there is a January 6th commission, a witch hunt, a show trial, is because they are afraid of him.
Because he's the only one who has the power to take them on in a second term where he doesn't have to think about being re-elected.
And if he announces before the midterms, well, then he controls the narrative.
It's an awful word, but it's crucial to politics.
And it becomes Trump, America first, MAGA against the America haters, the science deniers, the men can have babies crazies.
So, you heard it here first.
He's running.
I've told you that for, you know, a year and a half.
And number two, he's going to announce imminently.
It's going to be before the midterms.
I'm Sebastian Gawker.

And next up, the latest on the mystery man, Ray Epps. . Ray Epps. .
Just play them, all of them except five.
Yeah, stand by.
All right, can you walk through the cards?
Just play them, all of them except five.
Yeah, stand by.
So I'll start off number two.
You used the phrase unborn child in your most recent debate.
What does that phrase mean to you?
Mr. Gates, Ms.
Ms. Bass would like to answer your questions.
I am finished with you right now and I do not yield.
Thank you!
That's telling, right?
I'm just here trying to get answers to questions.
Miss Bass, you didn't use the words that were confusing.
So I'm not going to yield to you.
It is my bill.
But you didn't use the words and description of it.
And guess why?
It was Ms.
Ross who used those words, and if I want to ask questions to Ms.
Ross, she could choose whether or not to yield to give the answers.
But you covering for her, she doesn't know the words she uses, and cannot in the Judiciary Committee sit and answer the questions on something as important as life or death when I control the time is outrageous!
Are you done with your theater?
You can yield for those questions, but it's crazy that in this committee, when I'm trying to get honest answers to questions about the effect of the bill, moving on it paves the way to abortions that you all want to sit up there and squawk at me rather than allow me to ask questions.
When you have the time, you can control the time.
How about that?
But these are fair questions.
She used the phrase, unborn child.
I would like to know what that means to her, because what it means to us is that it is a life.
You know what?
I want the answer on the record, Ms.
Bass.
I want the answer for the American people, because to all of us, my party that was impugned, we actually think that unborn life is a child, and that there is a liberty interest there that is worthy of our defense, and our protection, and the values that undergird the American Constitution.
Right in front on the Capitol steps in front of an officer and he wasn't even asked to take a step back.
Like, this officer was just cool with it.
She's making the point that the heckler wasn't engaged in legitimate political protest, which is his right and which AOC should expect.
He was catcalling her.
And she wants to know, where are the big, strong, chivalrous men who should be protecting me?
Well, we couldn't help but notice AOC's fiancé, the redhead wearing shorts and moccasins, holding a leash.
Didn't protect her at all.
In fact, he just speeds right up the stairs.
But, I don't know what she wants the cops to do.
Arrest him, shoot him like Ashley Babbitt, or just tell him to step off.
Well, it's pretty remarkable.
I mean, just, let's take all of this in.
The one person caught repeatedly urging people into the Capitol as early as January 5th is the one person of all of the January 6th riot participants that the New York Times just happens to write this ultra-sympathetic puff piece for.
So, January 6, the witch hunt continues, the show trial, and there's one person who's being treated Very differently from the 800 others who were arrested, one of whom, a grandmother who has cancer, was just sentenced to two months in prison for doing nothing except a misdemeanor trespass.
Let's listen to who that person is and why the mainstream media has a very strange attitude to him.
This is Darren Beattie on our buddy Tucker Carlson's show, Cut4.
Well, it's pretty remarkable.
I mean, just—let's take all of this in.
The one person caught repeatedly urging people into the Capitol as early as January 5th is the one person of all of the January 6th riot participants that The New York Times just happens to write this ultra-sympathetic puff piece for.
Yes, the New York Times is writing path pieces about Ray Epps.
How is that possible?
Well, let's ask the man himself.
He's with us today, Darren Beatty.
Welcome back to America First.
Great to be back, Seth.
Thanks for having me.
So my producer sent me this article when it came out and I read it and I thought, this is incredible.
The first thing, I actually read it out loud to my wife.
We were driving somewhere and I wanted her take on it because, you know, as former press secretary for Customs and Border Patrol, she understands a little bit about the mainstream media.
And the first thing we came, we were like three paragraphs in, Darren, And I said, has this piece been written by Ray Epps' lawyers and a PR team?
Because that's what it sounds like.
Doesn't it?
Yeah.
Absolutely.
I mean, it is a sympathetic, personal profile piece of the sort that you might expect to see in a variety of other contexts.
For instance, you know, victims of a hurricane or something, and, you know, New York Times is doing a personal profile of a family's victim of a hurricane.
The only situation here is they're doing a sympathetic personal profile of the only individual caught on camera repeatedly urging people into the Capitol as early as January 5th,
And in fact, a real whopper that I divulged on the Tucker show is that the New York Times' own video documentary of January 6th, ominously titled, Day of Rage, And they feature all the most egregious footage they can possibly find in order to really drive home this evil dangerous insurrection narrative.
Guess who's one of the stars?
Ray Epps!
And in fact, the narrator explicitly References Ray Epps as one of the writers who had the siege on the Capitol planned all along.
So here's the question.
So the article in the New York Times is titled, It's Been a Nightmare.
Now, can you help explain this for me, Darren?
As somebody who worked in the White House, now a journalist, he was on the FBI's most wanted list after January 6th.
He's removed from that list and he's living in freedom.
But there are people with cancer who are grandmothers who are in prison right now for misdemeanor charges.
How is what he's experiencing the nightmare?
Can you help me out there?
Well, again, I mean, it's just amazing that of all the people the New York Times would do a sympathy puff piece on, it would be this guy.
But it also kind of makes sense, because he is the smoking gun of the Fed's erection.
He is the big fat embarrassment to the ridiculous official narrative of what January 6th was.
And that really is the most parsimonious explanation as far as to how this individual, whose behavior was so egregious on January 5th and 6th, that he immediately became the number one target of the sedition hunters, sort of left-wing online sleuths.
He was one of the first 20 people on the FBI Most Wanted list.
He was prominently featured in the New York Times' own Day of Rage documentary.
And he goes from all of that to being unarrested, unindicted, and the only January 6th riot participant that Adam Kinzinger will defend and the New York Times will write a puff piece about.
So you and your colleagues at Revolver have been doing amazing, long, long investigative pieces on what really happened, who is the tower commander, who is Ray Epps.
You've got to read them, guys.
Follow Darren at Darren J. Beattie, B-E-A-T-T-I-E, on Twitter.
Given all the legwork, the shoe leather you've put into it, what is your most likely hypothesis?
Was he an agent?
Was he a confidential informant of the FBI?
Or did they catch him as an individual who was an instigator and then got him to flip and he got a sweetheart deal?
Where have your investigations led you to hypothesize who Ray Epps really is?
That's a fantastic question, Seb.
And again, this is, I'd have to give a speculative answer, but it's a very educated guess based on a lot of research and a lot of thinking about this.
First of all, I don't for a second think that his lenient treatment can be explained on account of post-fact cooperation.
I basically think that's 0% chance.
As to what exactly he was, You know, the thing about the term Fed is that it's not very precise, and it's a useful term, but it can encompass a lot of possibilities.
Yeah, it does.
I personally don't think that he's in the direct employ of the FBI receiving a paycheck.
In fact, when in his testimony to the January 6th committee, As relayed through his lawyer, his lawyer who was, interestingly, a 10-year veteran of the FBI Phoenix field office, he leans on, in a very legalistic fashion, the notion that he never worked for any law enforcement agency.
And the reason that's interesting, that he keeps emphasizing law enforcement agency, is that leaves open a lot of possibilities, including Department of Homeland Security, Human Terrorism Task Force, Military Intelligence, Or cutouts or sort of intermediary groups associated with those organizations.
And so I think really the question, you know, it would be really interesting what the precise arrangement was.
But I think the real question, which is the big question that this New York Times piece amazingly fails to explore... Quickly, we're out of time.
Is what?
Is what?
Quick.
How did he get the idea to go into the Capitol?
Bingo.
There we go.
Follow this man, Darren BD.
Who is Ray Epps?
This is America First.
Mic's on.
Sorry Darren, that was a hard break.
He's out.
Okay.
Do you have his cell?
Yes.
Okay, can you send that to me?
to you.
What about that Chelsea Clinton cut?
you Thank you.
Thank you.
He's done so much.
He cares about people.
He's done so much!
Was Pelosi talking about Gavin Newsom, the occasional occupant of the White House?
Oh, that's good!
That's good.
All right.
Where were we?
Oh, can it go six, eight, and nine?
We sit around and we talk about these things and we want to give this false equivalence to Democrats and Republicans.
That is not where we are right now.
Republicans are doing something that is very dangerous to our society.
And we have to acknowledge that.
We have to acknowledge that as Americans.
We must acknowledge that as journalists.
Because if we don't, we're not doing our jobs.
We cannot sit here and pretend like, well, Republicans, cut them a break.
We want to hear.
They have a lot to answer for in this moment.
A lot to answer for what happened with the former president of the United States.
Why is it happening?
People are only blaming the Biden administration.
And I think the education part is really important because this is a global phenomenon.
There are reasons why our inflation rate is at 9.1 percent.
If you look at all the economies around the world, 60 percent of the economies around the world have inflation rates that are really, really high.
Six to eight.
Oh, I didn't want seven.
I've seen seven.
Give me eight, please.
Senator, an activist group is offering to pay people if they send in the locations of justices.
Do you think that this has gone too far at this point?
9 and 10.
What do Republicans have in store next?
You can't travel to buy a book.
You can't travel to see a concert or a play.
If they doesn't meet there, shall we say, I'm going to use the word standards.
They're what?
Who shut down concerts and plays the last two years, too?
This law from the Supreme Court, Dobbs, and the laws that will follow in states like Ohio, and Texas, and Georgia, and other states, will bring us government-mandated pregnancies for ten-year-olds, fourth graders, little girls, And then a little bit of the CEO.
And I don't have to spend too much time on what's going on in the country and how America has become unsafe.
But you all read the press release the last couple of days about the fact that we are beginning to close stores that are not unprofitable.
But we're closing stores as a result of the co-creation sessions that we've had.
I'm going to give you guys a little bit of inside baseball.
We'll be joined by Speaker Gingrich in about 10 minutes, so do not go anywhere.
I love working for Salem.
Best radio company on the planet, bar none.
No censorship, good guys, Christians, love America, great businessmen, and they're also When it comes to making money and funding the show you want to hear, they have a really cool philosophy.
Seb, you advertise what you want to advertise.
We'll get you people who want to advertise on your show, but if you don't like it, you don't have to.
And I've said from relief actor to my pillow, you name it, car firearms, if it doesn't work, if it's not real, if I haven't used it, I ain't pushing it.
Why?
That would be dishonest.
As a result, I don't need a script.
I don't need talking points for the stuff I believe in.
And the easiest one to talk to you about today is PhD weight loss.
20 years I've been trying to lose weight since my kids were born and finally it's worked.
And I'm just going to say thank you to Dr. Ashley Lucas.
34 pounds in two months.

I'm not going to tell you anything else.
It's all you need to know.
It worked for me.
I've tried everything else.
864-644-1900.
MyPhDWeightLoss.com.
Let's go to your calls.
The call board is full!
Ow!
Line 1, California.
Hey Sebastian, three questions real quick.
Three?
What do you think this is, Friday?
Well, yeah.
Do you pull the trigger with your right hand?
I do.
That's good.
Second question is, they never talk about this.
In the Hollywood Hills Wednesday, a wealthy homeowner was invaded by four robbers.
He used his own handgun to shoot at all four of them and drove them out of his house.
It's successful defensive residence, and they almost never report on that, even though it's the preponderance of gun cases.
But did he hit them?
That's the question.
Did he hit them?
They don't know.
They're looking for these guys.
They don't know.
But the main thing is he defended his life and property.
The final point is this.
You said you were using your fatigues recently when you were out shooting, I believe?
Yes.
Was that your British Army fatigues?
Absolutely.
That would be considered DPM, Disruptive Pattern Material fatigues?
Correct.
That's what I thought.
I've got every one of those up to date.
Wow.
You are a sagacious individual.
The DPM fatigues.
Also, I have the green barrack dresses, the lightweight pants that are very, very comfortable to wear.
They're much better than the American ones because they're made actually of natural fibers.
They're made of cotton.
So, you are a man with taste.
You're absolutely right.
I have it here in my pile of articles.
This is from the great people at John Lott's Crime Prevention Hey, Dr. Gorka, thank you so much.
They've just released an article that has 60 times that concealed carry permit holders stopped mass shootings.
Mass shootings, 60 times a good guy or a good gal with a gun stopped them.
Great questions, Al.
Let's go to Rick, Los Angeles.
Hey, Dr. Gorka, thank you so much.
Pending President Trump's announcement that he will run for office, and should that occur, like you say, it's about to, what I'm afraid of, if you think that we have seen an attack on this man in four years he was in office, they are going to load up on the left if you think that we have seen an attack on this man in four years They will double what they did.
I know Trump can handle it.
I don't know if the Republicans can.
And all the Republicans can do, because they're going to attack Trump personally, they're going to non-stop, they're going to bring up January 6th, is just tell him how rotten the country is in shape.
But that's why you know we need him.
If they hate him so much, it's because they know he can destroy them.
So for me, that's a great, great metric.
It's like Winston Churchill said, if you've got enemies, good!
It means you've stood for something in your life.
Thank you, buddy.
Let's go to John Tennessee, line three.
Good afternoon, sir.
First thing for Second Amendment Friday would be to suggest having the great Garam Fenn on your show.
You mean Flannel Daddy?
Yes, Flannel Daddy.
Yes, sir.
I think he would be a fun... He's a hot... We've tried to get him on the show.
He is always on the move.
I just saw his wife post on Instagram that he's finally separated.
He's finally got his separation papers from the Air Force, I believe.
So, I think we'll try again.
That's a great recommendation.
Anything else, John?
Yes, sir.
Just a suggestion for you.
Merchandise store would be to come up with a challenge for you.
Because of, you know, obviously with You're familiar with the challenge coins, and I think maybe making one with the seal of the presidency, like what you have in your office there, and maybe your show label on the other side, I'd certainly buy one.
You know, that's interesting.
Our merch master, Randy, has been wanting me to get a challenge coin, so I guess that's it.
If John wants it, and if the guy who makes the merch for us wants it, we're going to do it.
All right.
For that, John, stay on the line.
You get a choice of an LGBT mug or one of my books.
I'm Sebastian Gawker.

Next, the one and only Newt Gingrich.
When we come in, I'm going to talk 2,000 mules before I go to Newt.
So can you run the B-roll?
Sure.
And I just have for Newt, for his Chiron, is just author of the book, Defeating Big Government Socialism, for his Chiron, is just author of the book, Defeating Big Government Socialism, since that's what Former speaker.
Former speaker, and then author, and then the title of the book.
All right.
Can you play?
Oh, are we waiting to get him on phone?
Right, phone.
Play the last cut again, because it was hard to hear.
Play it again for me.
And I don't have to spend too much time on what's going on in the country and how America has become unsafe.
But you all read the press release the last couple of days about the fact that we are beginning to close stores that are not unprofitable.
But we're closing stores as a result of the co-creation sessions that we've had.
Almost 60 now.
25 in the SSC and the rest in the field.
We had one yesterday in San Antonio.
But in all of those sessions, it has shocked me that one of the primary concerns that our retail partners have is their own personal safety.
Wow.
Is he still the CEO?
I'll probably use the Liz Warren cut with the speaker, cut eight.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Can you hear me guys?
Copy that.
You're going to tee it up.
Is he calling us?
Calling them and texting them.
America First.
Can you believe it?
They are saying that they don't agree with America first.
How do you say that?
Magnificent.
You know what's really cool?
When you find a clip That your amazing producer didn't know about.
Yes, when you find one and send it to him and say, I need that today, because usually he's found every clip I need.
But hey, Mr. G, how did you not know about Chelsea Clinton being on The View?
You're not watching The View every day?
That's during the middle of the day.
Otherwise, I would.
If it was at night, I would watch it.
Alright, this play.
Chelsea Clinton's back!
Oh my gosh, that poor, poor woman.
And she has a very unusual take about the current incumbent in the White House.
At least he's not having sex with the interns under the table and using them as humidors.
Sorry, did I say that out loud?
I did.
Chelsea Clinton was on The View and she had this to say about Biden.
Cut 7.
Why is it happening?
People are only blaming the Biden administration.
And I think the education part is really important because this is a global phenomenon.
There are reasons why our inflation rate is at 9.1%.
If you look at all the economies around the world, 60% of the economies around the world have inflation rates that are really, really high.
And that is because of the global pandemic, right?
It's a global pandemic.
And that's also because of You have the war in Ukraine.
China has slowed down its production because of the global pandemic, because they had the lockdown.
And then you have, of course, climate change.
And so there are all these factors that are leading to the fact that we have this inflation and it's not Joe Biden.
Right.
I do think, though, can I just say quickly, it's clear that the president and his administration care deeply about the American people.
And after his predecessor, That, I think, is an important thing to acknowledge.
And that he is not being passive.
The administration has tried many things to get in front of the inflation crisis.
They tried to lower prescription drug costs last year.
Congress stopped that.
They tried to lower taxes.
Congress was not supportive of that.
He's released oil from the Strategic Oil Reserve.
I mean, the administration deserves credit for what they have been doing.
The Biden administration deserves credit for what they have been doing, and Biden cares, quote, cares deeply for the American people.
That's Chelsea Clinton.
Our next guest may see things a little bit differently.
He is the greatest political mind in America today.
He is the former Speaker of the House, Newt Gingrich.
Welcome back to America First.
I'll be with you.
That's a pretty funny clip you just ran.
Well, thank you.
I'm proud I found it.
I found it earlier today on the internet.
I'll have you react.
Joe Biden, quote, cares deeply for the American people, Mr. Speaker.
Look, he cares so much for the American people that he refuses to go to Texas or Oklahoma or North Dakota or Western Pennsylvania and instead goes to Saudi Arabia to get oil.
You explained to me a president who refuses to use American energy in favor of dictatorships, an American president who refuses to control the border, an American president who supports left-wing causes that release murderers and rapists and drug dealers, an American president who supports a teachers' union which has been methodically crippling the future of our children.
Uh, it's very hard to explain how truly bad the left wing of the Democratic Party has become.
And Joe Biden has been their faithful agent.
We have to discuss your brand new book that provides the answers we sorely need as a nation.
It's called Defeating Big Government Socialism.
However, before we get to that, Speaker Gingrich, as somebody who's been fighting the good fight for decades now, did you truly think that it could be this bad so quickly?
We are less than two years into this administration.
Was this your expectation, that in every arena, from inflation to the border to national security, it would be a disaster?
No, I mean, I thought it would be bad.
But this is on a scale that—the only presidency that has been this dangerous was Buchanan, who, from 1856 to 1860, led up to the Civil War.
There's no other president in history who's done as many bad things as rapidly as Biden and his team.
And the people he appoints are much worse than he is.
That's the other thing to remember, that because you have a left-wing media that's the propaganda arm of the left, You don't really see how many really bad people they're putting in office all through the federal government.
And it's going to be a real challenge getting this country back in the right direction.
You have some fascinating polling in the new book, Defeating Big Government Socialism, about what the American majority actually wants.
What do the American people want, Speaker Gingrich?
Well, first of all, they want the system to work again.
One of the strongest numbers we got was on the question that it's essential to restore the America that works, was 87%.
Because people forget right or left, liberal or conservative, this ain't working.
whether you're trying, I just saw a thing yesterday that air conditioning equipment is in short supply.
And so in the middle of a hot summer, people aren't able to get their air conditioners fixed.
Infant formula is still a problem.
There's a shortage.
You just go down this list.
And it's almost like Ayn Rand's vision of the world collapsing through mediocrity in her great novel.
The fact is, you know, when you have people announcing, as Starbucks just did, that they're closing 16 stores because they cannot deal with the degree to which their bathrooms are being that they're closing 16 stores because they cannot deal with the degree to which their Thank you.
Now, that's the decay of civilization.
When you realize one of our great cities, San Francisco, you have to watch with one eye to see whether or not you're about to step on human feces, and with the other eye to see if you're about to step on needles from drug dealers.
I mean, we do not appreciate yet how deeply the system decayed.
And I think there were two things going on.
One was a very, very long buildup, back at least to the early 60s, of a hard left, which became In a weird kind of way, a perfect example of the concept of an intersectional relationship where you have every single weird group identify with every other weird group and so they collectively become a formidable mass and they automatically support each other.
And the other is that you have, I think that Trump had a catalytic effect on the left.
It's like a chemical where you heat The left suddenly was galvanized and decided to go for broke.
What we're now seeing is an unvarnished, frankly, Bolshevik-like desire to shatter American society and replace it with their version Of a new and different civilization.
The book is... And I think, you know, they've come out of the closet because of Trump.
Yeah, we can see them.
He triggered them to come out of the closet and show themselves who they truly are.
Defeating Big Government Socialism.
The speaker will be with us for one more segment.

Can't handle the truth?
Is reality just too much?
There's always NPR.
I hear they have tote bags.
This is America First with Sebastian Gorka.
No tote bags here.
Just the truth.
Every single day.
Three hours long.
If you haven't seen it yet, why not?
It is record-breaking.
The movie from Dinesh D'Souza, my Salem colleague, 2000 Mules.
A million downloads in the first six days.
We had to mail out a hundred thousand DVDs in just the first week.
It is the evidence of what they did in the last election.
Find out for yourself.
Go to www.salemnow.com, download it, stream it, share it with others.
I have sent dozens of copies out to my friends.
That's 2000 Mules by Dinesh D'Souza at At SalemNow.com.
It's such an important movie.
I have a stake in it as well.
Liz Warren was asked a question about the safety of Supreme Court justices now that they have bounties on their heads.
This is Hillary Vaughn asking the Senator if she's concerned.
Cut eight!
Senator, an activist group is offering to pay people if they send in the locations of justices.
Do you think that this has gone too far at this point?
Yeah, that sound was Senator Warren slamming the door of the car, refusing to answer that very reasonable question.
Speaker Gingrich, you've been in politics for so long.
Is there a qualitative disintegration today?
Is it worse than what you experienced in your career in the House, when a senator has nothing to say, when activists are paying bounties for the location of conservative Supreme Court associate justices?
I've reached a conclusion that started with the fact that the January 6th running in the... We're losing contact with you.
I don't know if you're moving around or on a cell phone.
Could you start that again?
It started for you when?
Can you hear me?
It's not too good, but carry on.
Okay, I'll try to get to a better place.
Anyway, I started by looking at the January 6th Committee, which is really running a show trial in the Stalinist-Leninist tradition.
It has nothing to do with an American tradition.
And as I did more and more thinking about it and research, I realized we confuse ourselves because we think that the New Left fits into the American tradition, and we keep trying to Have some kind of language to describe them.
These people are essentially Bolsheviks.
They are prepared to use power.
They're prepared to intimidate.
If you want to burn down a city on their name, it's fine.
Don't arrest anybody.
If you want to go commit a federal felony, which is what it is to harass a federal judge, it's a year in jail.
Don't worry about it.
We're not going to prosecute you because you were doing the righteous thing.
Um, you know, if you're an innocent person, you might have an FBI SWAT team.
It's such a powerful observation that this Democrat party does not fit into the American political tradition.
It is Bolshevik, it is Stalinist.
We have to have you back for a longer discussion.
The book is Defeating Big Government Socialism.
Say hello to Callista.
I'm Sebastian Gorka.
This is America First.
But you could make a whole movie on the Russiagate hoax.
It's all documented.
There was an illusion being created using the most awesome tools and the greatest tricks that the American intelligence community had learned to use against our enemies.
Now it was being deployed against the American people and our president.
This is the biggest political scandal in modern history, which makes Watergate look like a tiff.
The FBI director has no credibility.
The left used to not trust the FBI, and now they love them.
This can happen to General Michael T. Flynn.
Imagine what they do to anybody who has a single strike against them.
35 Russian diplomats in the U.S.
expelled.
The prosecution of General Flynn wasn't a pursuit of criminal activity.
It was a setup.
Flynn actually had details.
He was talking about going after people's budgets.
They were terrified.
Media didn't start as neutral.
Media hasn't been neutral all its life.
The two faces of Hillary Clinton are coming out.
In fact, through WikiLeaks, that she says one thing and...
Oh, no.
They worked hand-in-glove with Comey to try to delegitimize Trump.
They were not there to tell the truth.
A political dirty trick is being carried out by our intelligence community.
Honestly, none of us really know, sort of holistically, what to think about this dossier.
They went into Congress.
They said, there's nothing here.
Doesn't matter.
We'll keep going with FISA.
We'll keep going with the investigation.
And more importantly, we will go on TV, day in and day out, and lie to the American people to their face.
And nothing's going to happen to us.
The nation and all of our freedoms hang by a thread.
And the military apparatus of this country is about to be handed over to scum who are beholden to scum!
Russian scum!
We had not one person claim that they had or had seen evidence of Trump colluding with the Russians.
Devin Nunes was the hero in the forest.
He was alone.
He was mocked.
He was attacked.
Devin Nunes was subject to such scorn for saying the conclusions that we brought forth in that report, which all proved to be true.
Russiagate was a false story.
To target their political opposition.
To carry out their insurance policies.
I believe that this is a conspiracy.
These guys have perpetrated the greatest crime against the American people ever seen.
It was a coup d'etat.
This is how sick and twisted these people are.
I recently confirmed that on numerous occasions the intelligence community incidentally collected information about U.S.
citizens involved in the Trump transition.
It was shocking to see some of the over-classification that was done to hide either corruption or abuse of authority and just to make sure certain agencies didn't look bad.
We have a peaceful transition of power process.
That's not what happened.
There were more meetings.
There were more leaks.
There were more attacks.
The thing that they were investigating the Trump campaign for is what they themselves were doing.
Not just the Democratic Party and their operatives, but also the FBI.
If I were writing about the time frame that we lived in, and that we're living in now, I would say it wasn't supposed to happen.
They weren't supposed to know.
The entire time this was going on, they thought this was going to be what sunk the Donald Trump presidency.
and they were just looking for the golden goose, and they still haven't found it because it doesn't exist.
Obama tore this country down!
No one stood up to him!
Nobody!
Because he was black!
You need to wake up!
My parents didn't teach me that I was a victim.
They can turn back voting rights.
Didn't nobody donate to us the right to vote.
Who's your house nigger?
I didn't call you a nigger.
Oh, okay, that's a big difference.
I'm your Uncle Tom.
An Uncle Tom is somebody who has sold out by embracing the white man.
Uncle Tom.
Bedwines.
Bootlicker.
Black white supremacist.
Chucking and jiving.
House negro.
Coon.
Uncle Tom.
Coon.
Coon.
I have a Coon award over there.
Racism.
of the year war most black people don't believe that other blacks can be independent free thinkers i believe the legacy and the ancestry of black americans is being insulted every single day i will not pretend to be a victim in this country i know that that makes many people on the left uncomfortable racist racist racial racist racism a thousand cuts of racism the liberal will try to control a black person through the concept of racism because they know that we are very proud
I never felt that because I was black or I was poor or a woman that I couldn't do something.
I grew up being told of my disadvantages, that this country is unfair to black people.
The ideology is implanted into you subconsciously to believe these things.
It's like a cancerous plague in the mind of black Americans.
We're brainwashed to think, well, is it because I'm black?
America's not ours, so we got shipped here.
No, our blood is on this soil.
We own this, too.
There should be a pride that we have in the fact that this country was built by many great black men and women.
Are you trying to say that this country does not specialize in racism and bigotry?
So long as black people continue to have their psyche filled by that nonsense, we won't have an awakening.
He's in another location everywhere.
Every week, it's another location.
I don't know if he's running from creditors, but the Baron is always on the move.
How you doing, buddy?
I'm on the move.
I'm good, brother.
How are you?
How's this?
Does this look okay?
Yeah, and the headset's really good sound.
Is that new?
You know, I've had it for... I think we did phone last time.
I've had it for a couple of weeks.
It's good.
Yeah, it's a very good sound.
His video is pausing, though.
It's not... The video's pausing.
Dial him up again, and I'll play a cut.
My Wi-Fi's strong.
Yeah, this might be just a connection.
Dial him up again and I'm gonna play this cut while you're doing that, alright?
The Jesse Waters one.
I'm here.
Yeah.
Where's the sheep?
Where's the sheep?
News and talk radio is still really popular, even in the internet age.
What you are about to hear them say is mind-boggling.
Here's looking at you, Snowflake.
America First.
Welcome back, dear friends.
Car Firearms is fighting for America.
Car executives stand with America First and are willing to put their brand's reputation on the line to stand up for your liberty.

It is time to check in with the man that is known as the Baron, my former White House colleague, former strategic advisor to the Trump 2020 campaign, Boris Epstein.
Welcome back to America First!
It's great to be here.
It's great to be here.
My honor, my pleasure.
Greetings.
I'm going to do what I've been doing.
I'm going to do what I've been doing for a while with you until you get back in the studio where we can have a real discussion.
I'm going to get you to react to the clips of the week, the clips of the day.
Fox, you know, is like, There are issues, serious issues at Fox, especially after that bloody transgender segment they did.
However, there's some good people left there, like Tucker, like Greg, like Jesse.
This is Jesse Waters' reaction.
I know you saw the AOC viral video of the man who commented on her voluptuousness and she didn't like... You don't have cut two?
Cut three?
John?
Okay, so we're going to talk about that.
If you can get it, we'll get you to react to that.
But first, let's talk about... Don Lemon has a threat assessment for America, and it may not be what you were expecting.
This is the lying legacy mainstream media.
Cut six!
Play cut!
But the president is reviewing the tariffs.
It is complicated.
It's part of our relationship with China.
It's part of a geopolitical...
Cut six.
Do we have today's cut six?
Okay, what do you have that's available?
Let's play Pelosi.
Cut nine.
We're having... It's like what I call Best Buy.
You know what I mean?
Okay, you're out of that, TV.
I know!
We've got one guy who's away for a family funeral and it's like, okay, we don't have the forty-six other people that NPR has for one hour of radio.
We've got four guys.
We're down to three.
This is building the airplane as you are flying it.
Let's listen to Well let's talk about Nancy cut five.
I think this tells us the power of our old boss.
Play cut.
Trump has indicated that he plans to announce a 2024 run in the next month or so.
What impact would that have on the midterms and would it benefit Democrats in your opinion?
Do I ever even mention his name?
Would I even waste my time talking about him?
I don't speculate on who's running in 2024, even if it's the former occasional occupant of the White House.
That's up to the Republicans to figure out what impact it may have on them.
The former Occasional occupant of the White House whose name I ever never mentioned.
Boris, isn't there some committee on Capitol Hill that's obsessed with him that she created and meets every week to try and destroy him?
Isn't this a sign of how much he lives in their heads rent-free?
Oh, swims, laughs rent-free, lives rent-free, sips Diet Coke rent-free, has a great time rent-free.
Here's, also, I mean, gosh, I can really see why Paul Pelosi's drinking, I'll tell you that.
I mean, whatever, you know, the speaker is not, you know, she's totally triggered, doesn't seem to be having her best days, and it tells you exactly where the Democrats are.
You know, I've been making this point a lot lately, you know, as we talk with Steve Bannon on War Room and in other outlets.
The buffoonery, my friend, the buffoonery of the left is absolutely unmatched by anything in history, you know?
Tip O'Neill was a serious guy.
Lyndon B. Johnson was a serious guy.
Democrats, people who disagree with him, positive, but serious people.
Bill Clinton, you know, with a ton of personal problems, but a serious guy.
These are not serious people, okay?
Nancy Pelosi is not serious.
Joe Biden with his pathetic fist bump to MBS, the same guy he said he wouldn't talk to and now he's fist bumping like they're best buddies, okay?
Not serious.
Shifty shift, not serious.
These are just, these are not serious people who are leading the Democrat party, and they're not serious because they are lost.
They are absolutists.
They don't know what's happening.
They don't know what they're going after.
They have no answers for the American people, and they're still so triggered and obsessed by Donald J. Trump because President Donald J. Trump is at the apex, is at the top of his power right now.
Right.
MAGA is ascendant.
Everyone else is going to the back of the line.
And you know what?
That's great by us.
No, it's true that his power is greater than it's ever been since the election but you say they're not serious and in a substantive sense I agree with you they're not serious but we have our cuts now and however when the left says stuff like this Boris, it doesn't matter that they are not serious.
The consequences of what they say are serious.
This is Don Lemon, Cut6, CNN. - We sit around and we talk about these things, and we wanna give this false equivalence to Democrats and Republicans.
That is not where we are right now.
Republicans are doing something that is very dangerous to our society.
And we have to acknowledge that.
We have to acknowledge that as Americans.
We must acknowledge that as journalists.
Because if we don't, we're not doing our jobs.
We cannot sit here and pretend like, well, Republicans, cut them a break.
We want to hear.
They have a lot to answer for in this moment.
A lot to answer for what happened with the former president of the United States.
So, we have to be serious at this point, Boris.
When we have their organ, their propaganda mouthpiece, call Republicans the threat to America, that's very dangerous territory, Boris.
Of course it is.
But it's where they've been for a long time.
It's where they were in 2016.
The Democrats have chosen to try to portray their political opponents as enemies of the country and enemies of the very makeup and the backbone of America.
Here's the problem with that.
The problem with it is that it's basic.
They're projecting, because the Democrats know that they are with this January 6th charade, with the fact that we don't have a southern border, with a disaster.
We're coming up on an anniversary of the disaster in Afghanistan.
The Democrats are the ones who are destroying our beautiful country, and they know it.
They know it.
America used to be the country of abundance, and now you've got on CNN segments about, oh, you've got to finish your leftovers, don't go to dinner, take the bike, don't take the car, don't travel, stay at home.
The Democrats are killing America as we know it, and they themselves realize that, and that's why they're projecting on us.
But that's not going to stop President Trump.
It's not going to stop MAGA.
We're going to continue to fight.
We're not going to back down.
And I urge every one of your listeners to do the same.
Never back down.
it back down, especially when you're dealing with bullies.
Okay, the last cut that we want to get your commentary on.
It's viral, the troll who was on the steps of Capitol Hill commenting about AOC's bodacious curvature.
She didn't take it well, and our buddy at Fox, Jesse Waters, asked a rather trenchant question.
Cut three!
She's making the point that the heckler wasn't engaged in legitimate political protest, which is his right and which AOC should expect.
He was catcalling her.
And she wants to know, where are the big, strong, chivalrous men who should be protecting me?
Well, we couldn't help but notice AOC's fiancee, the redhead wearing shorts and moccasins, holding a leash, didn't protect her at all.
In fact, he just speeds right up the stairs.
But, I don't know what she wants the cops to do.
Arrest him?
Shoot him like Ashley Babbitt?
Or just tell him to step off?
Wow.
Wow.
Good for Jesse.
What do you think AOC wants To happen to Republicans who just used the First Amendment, Boris?
I'm gonna give the same answer.
I think maybe she's transferring, too.
Maybe that's... She's projected.
She's just... She's sad that her soy boy significant other didn't actually do something.
That's so shocking, but it's so shocking, isn't it?
The fiancé just walks away!
He's walking the puppy?
Was he holding her bag, too?
Yeah!
Typical libs.
Could you imagine if you and I, if somebody said anything even half offensive or even half suggestive to one of our wives, okay?
Let me tell you something.
It wouldn't be... The help would not be needed for somebody who's doing the catcalling, you know what I'm saying?
And when he says one of our wives, he's not saying we have multiple wives, guys, okay?
He's talking about my wife and his wife.
No.
Yes, exactly.
He is the Baron.
Follow him.
BorisEP.com.
Each of our specific one wife.
Respective.
Respective wives, okay?
We haven't suddenly converted, okay?
We're not Muslims, okay?
So I just want to make sure that people understand.
Because Media Matters is probably typing up.
Little Zacky Poo is probably in his basement eating a hot dog.
He's right now.
Oh!
What's happened?
Are they Muslims now?
Did they convert multiple wives?
Is Gawker hiding something with the Baron?
Follow him on all social media platforms.
I'm Sebastian Gawker.
This is America First.
It's Friday!
It's Ask Dr. G Anything Friday.
It's Second Amendment Friday.
wherever you are, whatever you're doing, don't touch that dial.
I'm just going to go off and use a leash on my team.
Hey, that was one of the cuts.
Thank you!
What are you doing this weekend?
Anything fun?
Cigars tonight, my friend.
I'll be sending you pictures.
I'm down the shore now in New Jersey, so... Oh!
How was the birthday party?
Oh, it was great.
We took a boat out.
We had a blast.
I totally wished happy birthday.
Thank you so much.
Good, good, good.
Alright, give him my best.
Thank you, brother.
Have a great weekend.
What are you up to?
Gonna have some fun?
Uh, Katie's traveling for Heritage, so I'm gonna have a little pool party with, uh, some, uh, kids of friends of ours.
My son's back from college, so cigars will be smoked.
He's sending pictures.
Thank you, brother.
Will do.
See you, buddy.
Shabbat shalom.
Bye.
Appreciate it.
Bye-bye.
Bye-bye.
Is Jim here?
Yeah, he's grabbing him now.
Okay.
So what happened there?
He was in yesterday's bank.
Why?
Because it's kind of confusing because they're jammed in there.
I guess he didn't clear them out.
Okay.
What's going on?
No, Jim's getting mic'd up.
Somebody's being very loud.
Do you want to comment with anything?
No, because I have to do... Oh, no.
Is there anything fun?
Anything short?
Hey buddy, what's this?
You're in a suit on Friday?
No, leave it, it's fine, it's fine.
Oh yeah, I saw you up on my screen.
No, I'm not gonna come in with anything, but I'm gonna ask Jim to comment on cut 11, alright?
I'm gonna do PhD, tee-up 11, and then we'll go to Jim.
Oh, you like the behind the scenes?
Tee it up, tee it up.
Tee up Cadillac and check out Runeo.
Katie's deserted me again for another heritage function.
She's in Florida.
I thought she was... Yeah, she is.
She's got a couple days left.
That's it.
She's so dedicated.
She's doing all the trips that she had locked in.
Yeah, that's good.
I'm going to Azerbaijan Sunday.
Wow!
What's happening there?
50 seconds.
They really want to make friends with America. America. America. America. America. America. America. America. America. America. America. America. America. America. America.
Thank you.
Sebastian, you leave this audience spellbound and I'm going to pay you the biggest compliment I'm going to make you an honorary Bronx boy, because you're unbelievable.
And if you grew up in the Bronx, your name, they would have called you Sally Batts, for sure.
I love this show.
What is Sally Batts?
Well, it's like a part of your name, like Sebastian, Sally, S-A, and then Sebastian Batts.
The Bronx boys have a different way of speaking.
I like that.
It's a compliment.
This is America First with Sebastian Gorka.
I still love that, Sally Bats, whether it's Devin Nunes calling me Seabass on my radio and TV shows, or whether it's, you know, the Bronx Boys calling me Sally Bats.
I love that.
What I do not love is when a guest comes in studio looking really spic and span, looking very smart, and I ask, hey, you look sharp, you're wearing a suit, and he says, yeah, I just did Fox.
I'm not going to wear a suit for you, but I was on Fox, so I'm going to put a suit on for them, because even if it's Friday, I, by the way, need new suits.
Have you seen this?
If you're watching on, look at the size of this suit, how big and baggy it is.
That's because I've lost 34 pounds, thanks to the amazing people at PhD Nutrition and Weight Loss, Dr. Ashley Lucas.
You're a godsend.
20 years trying to lose weight and finally 34 pounds in just two months.
Katie, my wife, is happy.
Not just for me, but because she's lost 25 pounds.
Mike Gallagher's lost 50!
That's insane!

No starvation diets.

He's in studio.
He's looking very smart.
He is the Vice President of the Heritage Foundation, All Things National Security Foreign Policy.
So much to discuss, including who your tailor is.
With regards to the Middle East and the man who sadly bears the title of President of the United States.
However, I'm going to do something a little bit different because you've written books on, you know, security at home.
on Homeland Security.
You've written a textbook on it that we use together at National Defense University.
And there's a leaked video from the CEO of Starbucks, Howard Schultz, who's talking about things aren't as safe in America as they used to be.
Cut 11.
And I don't have to spend too much time on what's going on in the country and how America has become unsafe.
But you all read the press release the last couple of days about the fact that we are beginning to close stores that are not unprofitable. .
But we're closing stores as a result of the co-creation sessions that we've had.
Almost 60 now.
25 in the SSC and the rest in the field.
We had one yesterday in San Antonio.
But in all of those sessions, it has shocked me that One of the primary concerns that our retail partners have is their own personal safety.
The safety of their employees.
A company founded in Seattle is shutting down 16 Starbucks in that city.
He says at the beginning, I don't have to explain to you how dangerous things are in America.
But Jim, the mainstream media doesn't discuss what's happening in the last year and a half.
Well, so what's really interesting about that comment is he said, We're less safe in America.
No, no, no, no, no, Mr. President.
We're not less safe in America.
We're less safe in blue states.
Oh, yes.
So if you look at the list of where they're shutting down, most of them are actually in Seattle, in his hometown.
It's not Houston, Texas.
Where they're talking today about, we have so defunded the police, and now we're going to replace the police.
And they have a five-year plan, which will get them back to where the force was, if nobody leaves the Seattle Police Department.
Which, that's not going to happen.
So they closed one in Washington, D.C., in Union Station, literally blocks from where I work.
Washington, D.C.
just announced- Hang on, they closed- In Union Station.
Starbucks.
Out of security concerns.
In D.C.? ?
In eyesight of the Capitol building.
Next to the Reagan building.
A block from where they closed that because out of security concerns.
And here's what the DC City Council just did.
They just declared homeless persons a protected class of citizens.
Are you kidding?
Right.
And of course, nobody has problems with helping homeless people.
But by essentially saying that these are a privileged class of people that can do whatever they want, this is like having a sanctuary city.
This is the get out of jail crime-free card.
So the reality is, is we do have two Americas.
In red America, you are safe.
You can walk out at night, you can go to a Starbucks, you can get a Frappuccino, right?
In blue America, your life is at stake.
And the reason why Is because of people like the president of Starbucks, which enshrine, protect these elites, which keep getting elected over and over and over again, which run these places underground.
And I'll never forget, I saw this tweet and they had this picture of this homeless thing in San Francisco or someplace and they said, Isn't this terrible?
Why are we spending money overseas when we've got disasters like this right here at home?
Dude, it's not that we're spending money overseas.
That's not the problem.
The problem is you elect yahoos to run your city, they run them into the ground, and then you complain, and then the federal government gives you more money, and you spend it on gender equity studies and diversity.
Let's go straight to the point.
Exactly what he missed was that he is part of the elite that facilitated the crime in his stores.
This is just an 11 second cut.
This is Hilary Vaughn off Fox.
Asking Liz Warren, a serving senator, her reaction to an organization giving out cash bounties for intelligence on the whereabouts of conservative Supreme Court associate justices.
This is cut eight.
Senator, an activist group is offering to pay people if they send in the locations of justices.
Do you think that this has gone too far at this point?
What message does that send, Jim, that I'm shutting the door, that the bounties on Supreme Court justice in America is okay?
Look, I mean, the Democrats are... and you saw the exchange with Senator Hawley and that professor from... We played it twice!
Right, so these are the rules.
These are Warren's rules, right?
Disagreeing with us is violence.
You're endangering people.
That's right.
If you disagree with the leftist progressive agenda, that is violence.
On the other hand, if you're defending our ideas, violence is permissible.
It's the ultimate double standard.
Do you see any sign that that party that they're saying people inside it who are saying maybe we should rethink our attitudes to the police for example?
What's hilarious is you do see this oh we need to hire more police so we really and and and the subtext is perfectly clear because we're losing elections.
As soon as we win elections we can go back to defunding the police.
That's the only reason.
But we have to win elections first and then we can go back to defunding the police.
Look, here's what's going to happen.
Save this tape, because this is the future of America.
What's going to happen is, is get that big map out, and the parts that are red are going to get bigger and bigger and bigger, because that's where people want to leave.
And the parts that are blue are going to get smaller and smaller and smaller.
And at some point, the red is going to be so big that that is going to be the new American center.
That is going to be the bipartisan consensus.
With one question, because we see this in Arizona and elsewhere, do the people fleeing the Democrat areas bring their proclivities with them politically?
Right?
Ten years ago, the answer was yes.
And Austin, Texas is the poster child.
Exactly.
Today?
No.
No, no, no, my friend.
Look at Florida.
All right.
Where everybody's running to Florida, and it's redder than ever.
All right.
God willing.
How long have you seen our politics?
Of course.
Right here.
I'm Sebastian Gorka.
This is America First.
He's Jim Carrafano.
JJ Carrafano on Twitter.
We'll be back in a moment.
Don't touch that dial.
Don't touch that dial.
Don't touch that dial.
Unborn child.
In your most recent debate, what does that phrase mean to you?
Mr. Gates, Ms.
Bass would like to answer your questions.
I am finished with you right now, and I do not yield.
So that's telling, right?
I'm just here trying to get answers to questions.
Ms.
Bass, you didn't use the words that were confusing, so I'm not going to yield to you.
It is my bill!
But you didn't use the words in description of it.
And guess why?
It was Ms.
Ross who used those words.
And if I want to ask questions to Ms.
Ross, she could choose whether or not to yield to give the answers.
But you covering for her doesn't know the words she uses.
You cannot in the Judiciary Committee sit and answer the questions on something as important as life or death when I control the time.
It's outrageous!
Are you done?
I'm done when my term's done.
You can yield for those questions, but it's crazy that in this committee, when I'm trying to get honest answers to questions about the effect of the bill, moving on it paves the way to abortions that you all want to sit up there and squawk at me rather than allow me to ask questions.
When you have the time, you can control the time.
How about that?
But these are fair questions.
She used the phrase, unborn child.
I would like to know what that means to her, because what it means to us is that it is a life.
You know what?
I want the answer on the record, Ms.
Bass.
I want the answer for the American people, because to all of us, my party that was impugned, we actually think that unborn life is a child and that there is a liberty interest there that is worthy of our defense and our protection and the values that undergird the American Constitution.
Parliamentary where you can do this.
Exactly.
I mean, what that Berkeley professor said, no senator, I mean, the chairman of the committee would have stopped the hearing right there and expunged the witness or whatever the word is, dismissed the witness or they said, you cannot do that.
You cannot answer.
You cannot.
You don't ask questions of me.
I ask questions of you.
And it's not an argument.
It's not a debate.
Wow.
That's unbelievable.
I mean, that was the I mean, that that you go to the ethics committee.
Yeah.
You know, we actually just filed an ethics complaint because one of our analysts, Amy Schwer, was testifying and the member of Congress accused her of perjury.
During the testimony?
During the testimony.
Which is a complete violation.
I mean, it was a massive ethical violation.
So we actually filed an ethics complaint against her at the Ethics Committee.
But these guys are, I mean, they're out of control.
They're acting like it's the Wild West in there.
That's not the way to run a democracy.
Unbelievable.
Shocking.
It's going to be interesting.
All right, let's talk Middle East energy Europe.
Middle East.
Thank you.
Hi, this is President Trump, and Sebastian is really a friend of mine.
He's a great guy.
He's been with me from the beginning.
Listen to him.
We all learn.
It's Friday.
It's Ask Dr. G Anything.
It's Second Amendment Friday and thank you to our sponsor Car Firearms that is fighting for America.
Car executives stand with America first and are willing to put their brand's reputation on the line to stand for your liberties.
Please support our Second Amendment Friday sponsors.
Check out their amazing line of U.S.
made weapons at KAHR.com.
I carry a nine millimeter car.
They have revolutionized the industry.
Go to K-A-H-R dot com.
K-A-H-R dot com.
Alright, so given the situation back home, if I were president, I'd probably escape and go to the Middle East as well.
Well, like you said, I came here from Fox, and part of the reason why I was running late was they asked me to sit in the chair and painfully listen to Biden's comments.
In Saudi Arabia.
In Saudi Arabia.
And, you know, we are in the middle of the Chauncey Gardner presidency.
I don't know how else to say this.
For those who aren't familiar, that's The Being There, the last film by Peter Sellers.
It's an amazing, amazing movie.
Chauncey Gardner is the lead.
You see it and you'll understand why it applies to Biden.
Carry on.
So, you know, the obvious answer to America's energy needs are in the United States.
No recognition.
Under the ground.
Right, exactly.
No recognition of that.
And it actually talks about green energy programs that we're going to work on with the Saudi Arabians.
So it's completely oblivious.
The green energy program with the Saudi Arabians?
Yeah, so literally he goes, I'm very proud to announce we're going to work on green energy with the Saudis.
It's nonsense.
And then he said the Saudis are going to do something and that may help us at the pump in a couple of weeks or something.
And look, we all know that the Saudis are in near-peak production.
They're not going to shift the global market that much.
And we know that the price is down, not because we're pumping more energy.
The price is down because people just can't afford to pay gas, and they're just not driving.
So it's not the symbol of a decline, it's a symbol that we've hit a price point where people can't afford to pay gas.
It doesn't make green energy any more affordable.
I mean, look at Texas.
I mean, here we are.
Their massive wind grid in Texas is producing 9% of capacity at a time when they have maximum things.
So it doesn't matter what the price of gasoline is.
It's never going to make wind and solar a practical alternative.
But it's OK.
California is banning the building of new gas stations.
So we'll be good.
Right.
California.
So this is so so so while we're doing nothing Nothing really in the Middle East.
So you're asking what's going on in Europe?
Obviously Europe is facing a horrible winter in the middle of an energy crisis and because they didn't really care about energy security and everything else.
And so what is their response to that?
Well, the European Parliament passed a law which says we're going to eliminate all gas-powered automobiles by 2035.
Which, oh, by the way, for anybody that's keeping track, the carbon footprint of an electric vehicle is actually over its life cycle.
So includes manufacturer use production and getting rid of it.
It's carbon footprint is actually higher than a gas automobile.
So if you want less greenhouse gases, you would actually be producing more gas-powered cars, not more electric cars.
But that said, this is nonsense.
This is not going to solve anything.
And then my favorite thing is that, but then they also passed a law that said natural gas and nuclear are green energies.
I know.
They just flipped.
They just flipped.
Right.
Which, of course, they wanted to get rid of natural gas and nuclear.
But now they call them green energies because it creates the fiction like the green energy transition is progressing when they're just doing the only practical thing, which is all of the above.
You rely on all the energy sources in an affordable, sustainable, reliable way that powers society.
They're fighting to maintain the fantasy.
And this is the problem with Joe Biden's remarks in Saudi Arabia.
He's fighting to maintain the fantasy, like the green transition is a real thing.
And it's not just a political agenda to massively get political power and transform it so the progressive visionaries can hold on to the control of the planet forever.
We've got a minute left.
We're talking to the Vice President of the Heritage Foundation, JJ Carafano, on Twitter.
Join today, heritage.org.
So what is the winter going to look like for Europe?
What happens?
If the war is still raging in Ukraine, what happens?
Well, this is a really important thing, right?
So there are a couple things you have to watch for.
It's going to be a tough winter no matter what.
The question is, is what do we come out of the back end?
And there's, I think, two big variables.
One is Ukraine.
Look, I don't think, if Ukraine can't get to a stable military defensive position after we get through this tough winter, by the spring, I think we have to worry about the future of Ukraine.
And then the other thing is, is governments.
Right.
I mean, you know, we've seen trouble in Italy, UK and other places.
I mean, lack of stability.
Right, exactly.
Which is, if governments can't get their heads screwed on straight, I think Europeans can get through one tough winter.
I'm not sure they can get through two.
So, coming out of the back end, if people aren't realistic in being willing to defend ourselves, defend NATO, you know, work for reliable, affordable, dependable energy, not dependent on Russians and the Chinese, then, you know, it could be an ugly future.
We're going to go in two different directions, sir.
One is 1914.
One is 1989.
Sounds like time for some new leadership in the White House.
I'm Sebastian Gorka.

Complacency is a weakness that patriots cannot afford.
For that reason, Carl Firearms is teaming up with America First.
Carl believes Americans should not be afraid to publicly advocate for our freedoms.
This is about being more than gun enthusiasts.
This is a very personal issue, as we struggle for the soul of America.
Carl Firearms wants America First solicitors to know that they are not afraid to publicly support Second Amendment Friday.
Check out their amazing line of US-made weapons at KAHR.com.
I carry a nine millimeter car that's K-A-H-R dot com and we have a new guest joining us today.
Before we get to our new guest I want to share with you a clip I played in the break to Jim that was so shocking it left him speechless.
It is proof that the left have lost all sense of decorum and sanity.
This is actually footage from a hearing in Congress between Matt Gaetz and Democrat Congresswoman Karen Bass.
This is an abortion pro-life hearing.
Matt just wants the witness to clarify an issue and this is how the Democrat responds.
Cut to.
You use the phrase unborn child in your most recent debate.
What does that phrase mean to you?
Mr. Gates, Ms.
Bass would like to answer your questions.
I am finished with you right now, and I do not yield.
So that's telling, right?
I'm just here trying to get answers to questions.
Ms.
Bass, you didn't use the words that were confusing, so I'm not going to yield to you.
It is my bill!
But you didn't use the words in description of it.

It was Ms.
Ross who used those words.
And if I want to ask questions to Ms.

But you covering for her, she doesn't know the words she uses.
You cannot in the Judiciary Committee sit and answer the questions on something as important as life or death when I control the time.
It's outrageous!
Are you done with your theater?
You can yield for those questions, but it's crazy that in this committee, when I'm trying to get honest answers to questions about the effect of the bill, whether or not it paves the way to abortions, that you all want to sit up there and squawk at me rather than allow me to ask questions.

But these are fair questions.
She used the phrase, unborn child.
I would like to know what that means to her, because what it means to us is that it is a life.
You know what?

Bass.
I want the answer for the American people, because to all of us, my party that was impugned, we actually think that unborn life is a child and that there is a liberty interest there that is worthy of our defense and our protection and the values that undergird the American Constitution.
America is part of a civilization.
Civilization where we debate, where we don't shut people down.
That is very, very dangerous.
We need to get Matt Gaetz back on the show, but now it's Friday.
It's the Second Amendment.
We have a new guest with us.
She is Beth Alcazar.
She is the editor-at-large for the Concealed Carry magazine, and we are delighted to have her on the show.
Beth, welcome to America First.
Thank you so much.
I'm excited to be here.
I'm going to ask a strange question to begin with.
I have my concealed carry permit for numerous states.
I think I'm eligible in about 22 of them right now because of reciprocity.
My wife has her concealed carry as well.
Somebody said to me, a female trainer, and your resume is very, very impressive.
A female firearms instructor said, you know, my best advice to you when your wife is looking for training and qualifications and concealed carry, Don't train your wife.
A husband should not do that.
Use somebody else.
Do you concur, Beth?
I would definitely tend to concur.
We just have too much familiarity and too much comfortability and just too much knowledge and background with a lot of our loved ones that sometimes training with them can be a dangerous prospect, especially when that woman outshoots the man.
This is the thing!
Most women I've met, my daughter included, are better shots from the get-go than men.
I don't know what it is, some motor function or whatever.
And men, most men who think they're, you know, Wyatt Earp mixed in with Clint Eastwood.
It doesn't sit well when your wife or your daughter outshoots you the first time they pick up a gun!
Well, and that's just it.
You hit the nail on the head.
The woman is usually coming without the bravado, and they're just there to learn and listen.
So it makes a difference.
It truly does.
All right.
So talk to us about what's happened in America.
Every Friday, we talk about guns.
I talk about guns most days.
But since COVID hit, since Biden took over, we've got more than 31 million new gun owners.
What are things looking like in the concealed carry world?
Give us an update, Beth.
Well, you know, it's so awesome because like you just said, we've had millions of new gun owners in the last two years.
And part of something that's really standing out to me is the change in the firearms demographics.
So not only are we getting new gun owners and lots more of them, upwards of a million more per month for the last 35 straight months, but we're also seeing more female gun ownership.
And we're seeing just – it's transcending all demographics, to be honest.
And that's exciting because even though the 2A community has seen it and even though in the industry, the gun industry, we have witnessed this for probably the last 5, 10, even 15 years, it's like the statistics are finally catching up and giving people proof that we're truly looking more like it's like the statistics are finally catching up and giving people proof that we're truly looking more like America in the gun industry, more so So I carry a gun wherever I am permitted to do so.
I've been doing it since I moved to America.
I've been shooting since I could pick up a gun safely.
As a child, my father taught me as a former, you know, escaped political prisoner from a communist dictatorship.
Dispel, in the last couple of minutes we have with you, for most people listening who think, oh this is weird stuff, I'm not qualified, this is spooky, I can't carry a gun, speak to those who are Intimidated by the concept of being a concealed carry American.
Well, I am a wife and a mom of three kids.
I didn't grow up with guns.
I have no military or law enforcement background.
And you know, maybe people would think that's rare or unusual as a gun owner.
But honestly, that's it.
The face of gun ownership is not that stereotype.
And honestly, gun ownership today is So much more nuanced and complex and, as I mentioned, more of a reflection of America.
And it's really for anybody, for whatever reason they have, for, you know, maybe they want to be more involved with personal responsibility, personal freedom, empowerment, protection of self and loved ones, or just prioritizing personal safety.
In the last couple years, especially, I think we're becoming more resourceful, or at least we're returning to this idea of resourcefulness, whether it's I don't know, growing your own vegetables or storing water.
And now I think that same mindset is driving people to consider firearms as an option.
It's not a solution, but it's certainly an option and it's for anybody who can be responsible and safe.
I love that.
I love that.
It's an option, and also, you know, as the old joke goes, why do you carry a gun?
Because a police officer is too heavy.
It's a serious, serious jest.
Why?
Because you are the first line of defense.
Thank you, Beth Alcazar, editor-at-large for Concealed Carry magazine.
I'm Sebastian Gawker.

That was great.
Oh, guys, thank you so much.
What an honor and a privilege.
You know, kudos, God bless, and Godspeed.
We're gonna add you to the roster, so you may be bugged again in the near future, okay?
Ugh, bug away.
I'm happy to help.
All right.
What's your cell phone?
What's your cell phone?

Okay.
Because she's good.
Yeah, she speaks really well.
Yeah.
And confident, you know, she's like, she's confident, clearly.
Yeah.
30 seconds.
All right, kill mics.
All right.
We'll be right back.
We are with ya!
America first.
Magnificent.
Oh my gosh, I just gotta take a photograph of this because I can't believe it.
Cavuto, where do you dig up these fossils?
Former Senator Alan Simpson He looks like a hundred years old, is commenting on President Trump's possible re-election run.
Jeff, sorry, what, I mean, if I planned that segment on my show, if I said, Jeff, get me former Senator Alan Simpson to discuss President Trump's re-election, would you actually, would you just like lock me in a box or something?
Well, it is a Friday in the summer.
It is a little bit harder to get guests.
But you wouldn't let me do that!
I was wondering, because I can't see the feed in here, who it was going to be.
I never would have guessed.
Who is Alan Simpson?
I just remember that it was the Bulls Simpson or whatever it was.
Some Bill.
That's what I remember him from.
Oh, that's right.
That's right.
Okay.
We're going to have that crazy man, Colonel Kurt Schlichter, is going to be with us for one-on-one.
You don't want to miss it.
But I've got to talk about some news stories.
From the absurd to the incredibly disturbing.
The FBI under sworn testimony.
It's from Eric!
Eric's not even here!
I'm reading a story from Eric and he's not even here.
The FBI and the DHS has confirmed under sworn testimony to Congress that they have both, American agencies, have both purchased drones for law enforcement use.
From China.
Yeah, yeah, from China.
Uh, yeah.
I wouldn't say anything else.
Just, you know, Biden's America!
I wonder if Hunter gets a little percentage.
I wonder if Hunter Biden gets a percentage from that purchase.
Then, here's the story I mentioned earlier.
The federal judge...
Biden has sentenced 69-year-old Idaho grandmother Pam Hempel, who has cancer, to two months in jail for, quote, parading in the Capitol, which is a misdemeanor.
Biden's America.
And then lastly, it's a clip I can't play for you.
Maybe we'll try and find it with subtitles on Monday.
A Hispanic TV network went to the home of the mother of the 10-year-old girl who was raped by an illegal alien.
Did you see this, Jeff?
Did you see this footage?
They stick the microphone through the crack in the door and ask the mother about this 27-year-old Guatemalan that raped her daughter.
And the mother makes excuses.
It's not a big deal.
He's a good guy.
Don't hound him.
What kind of, forget mother, what kind of person does that?
What kind of person says that?
A grown man raped your child?
Don't give him a hard time.
Yeah, think about it.
I'm Sebastian Gawker.
This is America First.
We'll be back with Colonel K, wherever you are, whatever you're doing.
Don't mess with that touchscreen.
Getting to do the Friday outros.
The Trump Outer.
Let me say it again.
The 2020 election was the most secure election in American history.
Let me begin by asking a very simple question.
Do we know the truth about what really happened in the 2020 election?
I think millions of Americans know something went wrong, and they have little pieces, and no one's really put it together.
I'm agnostic on this question, and I am awaiting more information.
If I believed the president were a Nazi, I might steal an election.
Bold accusations require bold evidence, and they haven't seen it.
We have been working on something big.
Show me the money.
Can we meet?
I've been working with Greg Phillips.
He has a deep background in election intelligence.
True The Vote has the largest store of election intelligence for the 2020 elections in the world.
No one has more data than we do.
We identified in Atlanta 242 mules that went to an average of 24 drop boxes.
But Philadelphia alone, we've identified more than 1,100 mules.
What is a mule?
A person picking up ballots and running them to the drop boxes.
This is not grandma out walking her dog.
Bad backgrounds, bad reputations.
They are interested in one thing, that's money.
And in no shape, in no way, in no time is that legal.
This is organized crime.
Do you have video evidence?
Four million minutes of surveillance video around the country.
What you're about to see is disturbing.
So this is 1 o'clock in the morning.
Don't we all vote at 1 o'clock in the morning?
One night, this person, this mule, went across six counties to 27 different drop boxes.
I call it the Mexican Mafia, seriously.
Because they work like that.
This is jaw-dropping.
What you showed is frightening.
It's just sickening to me.
Now we come to the most important question of all.
Was the magnitude of vote trafficking enough to tip the balance in the 2020 presidential election?
It's not a leap to say this would have made a difference.
They have ruined election day in the United States of America.
That's provable.
And that's enough for me to fight the left with every fiber in my body.
Without free and fair elections, we are not a democracy.
We are a criminal cartel masquerading as a democracy.

I think you know, dear friends, that I am not a nervous chap.
Maybe a little bit irascible at times, especially when I think of the last 18 months, but never nervous.
Except now, when you let a real troublemaker into your brand new studio.
What's gonna happen?
Only the good Lord knows.
The man who has guest-hosted for us, senior columnist, contributor for townhall.com, I just call him Colonel K. Kurt Schlichter!
Welcome in our brand new studio.
Thank you, Dr. Gorka.
It is beautiful here.
You've got all sorts of interests.
There's a phaser, there's a Battlestar Galactica, old-school Viper, a Dalek.
You've got James Bond going on.
You know, people don't have the advantage that I do.
I've had a chance to walk through here, and you have an amazing movie poster collection as well.
Thank you kindly.
And you recognize my space 1999 Eagle spaceship.
Commander Koenig, of course.
I'm so impressed.
Shall we just talk about science fiction for the next hour?
I think Jeff would be good.
We could do Gary Anderson.
Jeff is shaking his hand.
He did test science fiction.
All right, we'll save that for later.
We'll save that for the sequel.
Special nerd.
I like that.
Let's do that.
We are here to celebrate.
I'm so jealous of this man for multiple reasons.
One of which is clearly he doesn't sleep because he's a graphomaniac.
He writes books quicker than I can, I don't know, eat cheeseburgers.
Quicker than a bulwark wedding night.
And his latest is out now.
It's got a rather subtle cover.
I don't know who designed it.
It's got the man himself on it.
We'll be back, The Fall and Rise of America, from, full disclosure, the best publishers in the world, my publishers, Regnery.
Super excited about that.
Before we get to the subject of your book, why you wrote it, and then, you're what, on number six or seven of Kelly Turnbull?
Number six, number seven is coming out in September, and as a special bonus, When we are done here, I will show you the proposed cover for Inferno.
It's good.
Inferno.
That's the fictional series Kelly Turnbull we shall discuss as well.
But first, for those who are new to our show, and we are ever-growing, we are over 3 million listeners right now, plus all the viewers on the OTT, on Rumble, etc.
Let's have a little pray-see.
Who is Colonel K, where does he come from, and why did you say to us, I love it, that your chyron has to say, author, lawyer, and soldier?
Well, it's kind of my CV.
Look, I am just, you know, I'm really a child of the heartland because my parents were both from Pennsylvania.
And then my dad, after his time in the Navy, and my mom, time as a social worker and a teacher, he joined Procter & Gamble.
And I was born in Cincinnati, Ohio.
And everyone there is very genuine, open, and honest.
And of course, I didn't fit in there.
And I was, by popular demand, I was sent to California.
I grew up in the California suburbs, the suburbs of San Francisco.
Which are now very liberal and very rich.
But when I was there, it was a land of single family houses, station wagons, good schools.
Governor Ronald Reagan was there.
And I am a kid of the real California.
The sunny California.
The palm tree California.
The one that we considered to be a paradise way back when.
Exactly.
But the most important thing was there were never any limits on what you could do.
It never occurred to me that I could not do what I wanted.
You know, soldier, author, lawyer.
I wanted to be a lawyer, so I did.
I wanted to be a soldier, so I did.
I wanted to be a writer, so I did.
I wanted to be a stand-up comic, so I did.
And it never occurred to me that it was beyond my reach, because that's the...
The power and the optimism of California.
And that's what Reagan brought to the White House in 1981.
And it was... He had... The only guy happy about Joe Biden is the guy that President Reagan replaced.
Because now Jimmy Carter is not the worst president in the last century.
Correct.
Tell us a little bit about these three parts to your life.
So what kind of soldiering did you do?
Who were you with and where did you travel?
Oh, my gosh.
Well, I was, uh... Look, I was in a war hero like Pete Boominja... Boominja... You know, Dick Blumenthal.
I didn't win the TED Offensive on my own.
But hang on, Dick's been to a war zone now.
He's been to Ukraine last week, so at least he can say he's been to a war zone.
Yeah, I've been to Ukraine four times.
But look, both my grandparents were coaches in rural Pennsylvania, and they both joined the Navy as overage officers in World War II, and both ran Marine Corps fighter pilot recreation centers.
In fact, Joe Foss, who won the Medal of Honor as a Marine Corps fighter pilot, would play poker with one of my grandparents.
It's in his diary.
And when I deployed to Kosovo, I went with Bill Foss, Captain Bill Foss, a nephew of him.
It came full circle.
My dad, of course, was a naval officer.
He was on the Lake Champlain when they picked up Neil Armstrong.
We recently buried him with military honors and just a spectacular crew of young sailors.
I know the military's in a lot of trouble, but the young sailors are still magnificent.
I didn't want to be the second assistant to the guy who ran the Xerox machine.
I didn't want to go to law school.
I wanted to do something else, and it seemed like the military was a very good fit.
Of course, I wanted to serve my country.
And I did, and I joined up as a private.
I was a private selector, went to basic training, immediately went to Officer Candidate School, which was the worst 14 weeks of my life.
Because I had never... You've been through the LA riots in uniform, and that was worse?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Oh, much worse.
I couldn't shoot back.
No, it was... I had never faced a challenge that I might not get through.
I might not be good enough to lead American soldiers.
And they were, you know, the TAC officers and NC... were happy to tell me about my myriad failings.
And I had to find someone myself that would get me through it.
I did.
I got my commission.
And I thought, I'm going to be an infantry officer.
I was not.
I was sent to the chemical corps.
My lowest grade at UC San Diego was in math, so they sent me the most math-intensive one.
I worked really hard.
I was number one in the class.
I can calculate chemical downwind hazard.
So you're an ABC.
We said NBC in the British Army.
You're an ABC guy, right?
Well, it was NBC back when I was in.
Then it became CRBN.
I think it's NBC again.
I got a platoon in Germany.
There aren't many platoon leaders, but it was a decontamination platoon.
A heavily armed car wash.
I went there, served as a platoon leader, then an XO.
And then I was going to leave.
I was going to get out.
I didn't know what I was going to do.
They put me in the community, and I was literally the guy that the general would say, my hot 17-year-old daughter is coming to town.
Lieutenant Schlechter, you're going to make sure none of your friends get a hold of her.
I mean, it was like literally that stuff.
You were the babysitter, right?
Yeah, and I was doing jobs for the... I was just doing community jobs, because we had 500,000 Americans in Germany.
So I was doing that, running out my time, and Saddam Hussein invades Kuwait.
I go back to becoming a platoon leader.
I deploy with VII Corps.
I'm cut to VII Corps, Maine.
I got there December 5, 1990, and I was part—and I talk about it in the book.
We'll be back for On the Rise of America.
When 7th Corps and the other two corps destroyed the Iraqi army, that was the pinnacle of American power.
The 7th Corps, which included a British division, The 99-hour war.
Yes.
It was a level of destruction, I mean, a thing of Hannibal.
Yeah.
Hannibal at Cannae, you know, Caesar at Alicia.
I mean, that was more of a semi-defensive battle.
But you get the idea.
And nobody, of course, thinks of it in that way unless you're a military historian.
But I was there at the place and time of America's greatest power.
We are unchallenged.
Soviets threw the tower in.
The Chinese said, holy cow, it's going to take us, oh, I don't know, 31 years.
To even reach parity.
We better start now.
And we all let it go.
And that's the fall of America.
But I'm hoping we can rise again.
All right.
I have a buddy from my regiment who deployed.
I was in an intelligence cell back in the UK when that happened.
They were moving so fast.
This is a British unit supporting the Americans.
They were moving so fast that this buddy of mine, who was a corporal, a half-screw, He had to guard with his SA80, with 20 rounds in the magazine, he had to guard a thousand Iraqi prisoners of war who just surrendered.
Because we were moving so fast that they just surrendered.
Okay, you, Corporal Jones, you stand there with your SA80.
Well, they were not uppity guys.
I remember going by the, there was like a holding area near Kasuma Airfield and I drove by it and there's just thousands of these guys.
And those are the lucky guys.
The saddest looking guys.
The smart guys who said we're not going to fight.
The guys who fought all died.
Yeah, yeah.
They died and they died in ways that are not very nice.
The book is Will Be Back.
It's out now.
Order it.
It's from Regnery.
The Fall and Rise of America.
We'll explain that subheading in a moment.

5519 or just go to standwithisraeltour.com that's 855-565-5519 standwithisraeltour.com Okay, Kurt, let's jump in.
I mean, so many things I want to discuss with you.
Uvalde, the woke military, the, what did you call it, the political realignment?
The political realignment that's going, that's part of the rise.
We'll talk about all of these things and we'll try it through the next hour.
But first, explain this subtitle.
So the book is We'll Be Back and it's got some great endorsements by me.
Dan Bongino, David Limbaugh, Jim Hansen, our buddy, Monica Crowley, a whole panoply of real patriots.
But talk to us about the fall and the rise.
Map it out.
Give us your insum, your report of the fall and rise.
The pinnacle was there in time and space at VII Corps, Maine, at the victory.
In 91.
In 91.
And we essentially agreed with Francis Fukuyama that history was over.
Liberal democracy had won.
Nothing was going to change.
Bernie Walsh fell down.
Walsh O'Pat gone.
Everything's going to be great.
We stopped trying.
The problem with America now, Dr. Gorka, is it is run by what I call cultural trust fund babies.
The way I put it is everybody knows Ford.
Not a great person, but he put a car in every garage.
He created modern manufacturing.
Henry Ford.
His sons, they built Ford into a massive corporation.
They gave us the Mustang, which is pretty awesome.
My first car, a 1973 Mustang.
It's a big, bloated, ugly one.
The third generation of Fords?
You can't name any.
They're probably parked in front of a crack house in a broken down Ford Fusion with Hunter Biden.
So what is the point you're making?
Cultural trust fund babies.
They always fail.
They always squander it.
The World War II generation, they beat Hitler.
They beat the depression.
Pretty impressive.
The 60s, the people in the charge in the 60s, they changed America through civil rights where they demanded human rights from angry Democrats, a theme that continues through American history.
And they put a man on the moon.
These are impressive achievements.
And we have the present ruling elite that gave us Iraq, Wall Street, Meltdown, and Grindr.
So let's jump in.
I want people to read the book, okay, but let's talk about Explanations Diagnosis.
There's one easy one because you're focusing on your military career, on the Gulf War.
Is it because we haven't had a war for 20 years?
You've written a whole series of books about a quasi-civil war, a fictional war.
That's your Kelly Turnbull series.
Or is it something more than that?
Because I look at the people running this country, and what I see is not just people who are soft, but people who are stupid and arrogant.
Yes!
That's exactly it.
Can you think of another ruling class?
Well, you probably can if you look back to Roman history, which I talk about.
A bunch of people so entitled, but so unaccomplished.
They have so much self-regard, but so little reason for it.
They've accomplished nothing.
They were just handed this doctorate.
They were handed the greatest Culture and country in human history, and they didn't build it.
They hadn't defended it.
They didn't take it seriously.
They're like a trust fund baby.
They will squander it, and that's our problem.
Let's focus on this.
That's our problem part of it, because like you, I travel the country.
I speak Across the nation.
And I get always asked a similar question.
How did we get here?
How did we get here that 66% of millennials want to live in a socialist America?
Or how did we get here that we have an open border and Supreme Court justices who don't know what a woman is?
And I always give them the same answer.
And I say, if you take this personally, good, because it's meant to be taken personally.
The reason we are here, if you want to know who's responsible, is look in the mirror.
So the trust fund babies, if you will, the arrogant idiots, We let them get away with it.
We didn't hold them accountable, like trust fund kids are rarely held accountable.
We didn't hold them accountable.
Look, normal Americans don't want to be involved in politics.
They want to be barbecuing, taking their kids.
And they're sane.
That is a reasonable... That's why...
America was built by hard people who suffered a lot so that their descendants didn't have to suffer, so they could live in prosperity, so they could pursue their dreams.
But you know, Dr. Gorka, citizenship has a price.
It has a cost.
I talk about it in the book.
You've got to take citizenship seriously.
That's one reason I believe every citizen should own what a liberal would call an assault rifle.
One?
Just one?
Why is that?
Well, that's a start.
Okay.
I mean, you know, you gotta have a baseline.
But the reason is, if you have a rifle, you are taking seriously your responsibilities as a citizen to yourself, your family, your community, and your constitution.
I saw civilization fall to pieces in a matter of hours in the Los Angeles ride.
I saw it with my own eyes.
I got in a Twitter fight with Josh Marshall years ago before he blocked me, the little sissy.
And he's like, no one would ever need an M-16.
And I'm like, well, what happens when, you know, the cops aren't there?
Well, civilization's not going to collapse.
Hey, stupid!
I was there!
I was the guy who came to your rescue, but there's no rescue in the Macklin.
Let me just jump on this very briefly.
We've seen collapses.
You go back to ancient Rome, but let's talk about Venezuela in 2012.
Why could that not happen here?
Why do people think that could not happen here?
You've seen it in Los Angeles, Kurt.
Because they have no understanding of human nature.
They have no understanding of history.
Look, we are ruled by a lot of smart people who have no wisdom.
And I think the beginning of wisdom is understanding the difference between being smart I would say wisdom and also a lack of real world experience like you have.
Yes, that comes with wisdom.
Wisdom comes from it.
Yes, an understanding of human nature, staying in the nature of God, understanding how these things interact.
And of course they dismiss all those concepts.
There is no God.
There is no human nature.
There's only this infinitely malleable hunk of clay that we call mankind that can be shaped.
Hang on, tissue, tissue.
It's not clay.
I mean, they're clumps of cells.
Don't forget, clumps of cells, right?
That can't be perfected.
Yeah, and this leads to bizarre... And frankly, it's personally degrading.
It's degrading themselves to demonstrate commitment.
When somebody stands up and says, well, you know, some men can have babies.
They know no man can have babies.
No man ever will have babies or ever could.
They know it, but they are demonstrating their loyalty by lying to our faces, and they are proud of themselves.

Now the end of the subtitle for your book is The Rise of America.
So it's a prescription of the problems, how we got here, and then how we fix it.
I want people to buy it.
I want people to read it.
But let me just ask you the question I have the biggest problem with.
You know what we need.
You know what has worked in a civilization.
We need the return of the Ajaxes.
We need the return of the men who fight, the people who stand up for truth, male or female.
But the trouble is, I see a distinct lack of the Pathfinders.
The bench, the bench is very slim.
What happened in '16, as far as I'm concerned, was an act of God.
The fact that a man who'd never run for political office won the first time he ran is incredible.
But you saw what happened to our administration, Kurt.
There were less than 20 of us in senior positions in that administration who believed the will of the American people, understood MAGA, and we were subverted for four years.
You've written some great articles at town hall on whether it should be Trump or whether it should be the scientists or somebody else.
Let's leave that to the side for a second.
Do we have enough people after the left have arrested people like Peter Navarro in leg shackles at Reagan?
Who's going to stand up to the plate?
Where do we find the good men, Kurt?
They're finding themselves, Dr. Gorka.
I am endlessly optimistic.
I had the privilege of serving with American soldiers.
I saw them in combat zones, in riots and disasters in America.
I know the goodness that's out there because I watched it happen.
And I watched, in response to our country going off the rails, starring at the Tea Party, a bottom-up response.
Here's the thing they don't get about Trump.
They never got about Trump.
Trump was not a leader in the sense that he didn't create the movement.
He was the avatar of a movement.
He was wise enough and committed enough to actually talk about issues we cared about.
He saw what was happening.
Bingo!
He saw what was happening and talked about the issues people cared about.
Sixteen Republicans refused to talk about the border.
Trump did.
And people trust him because he did.
He didn't discover the border.
He, like everybody else, It bubbled up.
Glenn Youngkin is governor because it bubbled up.
It's not some...
We don't have a Soros pulling strings like the logo for the Godfather.
We have...
It bubbles up.
Look at the Tea Party.
The Tea Party was not an organized thing.
They wanted to call it AstroTurf.
It wasn't.
What it was is moms and dads.
It was organic.
Totally organic.
It was totally organic.
Got people who had organized church socials, bowling leagues.
They turned it to politics and that's how it got organized.
I remember I was there.
Andrew Breitbart was there.
He was like, this is a bunch, this is a nation of shopkeepers.
In mid-sized towns, doing what they've always done, now they're doing in politics.
They're now being sucked into politics, which happens periodically in American history.
We prefer not to be involved in politics, but politics finds us.
When your kid comes home, Okay.
And you've tried to live a decent, you know, Judeo-Christian life, and you're informed you're a racist?
Yeah.
Simply because your great-grandfather came from a place where they eat herring and, you know, that makes you mad when they come home and go, you know, I'm not sure my gender, my non-binary... Politics has now found people.
But that's happening at the local level.
Are we going to have brave people who are going to come to this stinking sewage pit of Washington?
Absolutely.
You look at the Republican establishment now.
Fourteen of them joined with John Cornyn in the dumbest deal ever.
I mean, he was a lawyer, too.
If I was a lawyer who sold deals where I said, hey, I only gave away half the store instead of the whole store, I would be driving a much worse car than I'm driving.
I drive a very nice car.
Ten years ago, it would have been 35 Republicans.
Mitch McConnell, who I have very mixed feelings about because I admire his tactical savvy and his strategic sense.
But he's an establishment guy.
Totally.
He's going to have to deal with guys like J.D.
Vance.
Yeah.
He may well have to be dealing with a Blake Masters.
He's going to deal with a lot of people.
He would prefer not to have won.
Because the American people have picked those people.
Slowly the Republican, the Overton window is shifting open a little for people who believe, as we do, in America first.
Are the good guys going to get the handles of power?
Eventually.
But look, the enemy gets a vote, right?
They're always going to fight back.
They fought back against Donald Trump.
They didn't just throw it in.
And we can't expect them to.
That's all they've got, Dr. Gorka.
They can't go rest on their laurels because they don't have any.
They are like the survivors in Dawn of the Dead.
They're living off the corpse of a great America.
And we're trying to revitalize things.
And they're just trying to pick the bones clean.
That's funny.
That was the favorite phrase of my former boss in the Defense Department.
The enemy gets a vote.

Now, one of the things I think, I haven't done an extensive empirical survey, but one of the topics you have been, at least half of your tweets of late, Colonel Kaye, have been about Uvalde, especially the footage that was released a few days ago.
And I completely agree with you.
Your job as a police officer is to run to the bullets, and if you die saving children, so be it.
That's the job you chose.
We're not being glib about this.
That is your job.
If they are shooting at kids instead of shooting at you, you have failed your job.
You don't care about law enforcement lives.
No, I do.
But you gotta do your job, just like I was supposed to.
I was supposed to go into areas contaminated with VX and GB, okay?
You think I wanted to do that?
You think I was like, oh boy, I get to die on my back twitching like a cockroach.
Yeah.
No!
Which is exactly what those nerve agents do to your body, by the way.
Look, I'm no hero, but I had a job to do.
But that's a job.
So let's expound on this.
The footage The footage is mind-blowing.
For 77 minutes, you've got officers standing there, leaning against the wall, running away from the sounds of gunfire, going over to the hand sanitizer dispenser to clean their hands.
This is all connected, as far as I'm concerned, to the woke-ification of everything, including the military.
How do we counter it?
I want these officers to be investigated, charged if necessary, and judged by a jury of their peers.
But you have served in uniform.
How do we save the military that is being workified right now?
The law enforcement, we've got 16,000 jurisdictions in America.
That's going to have to be fixed at that level.
Can we fix the military that now says we have to have naval training for pronoun use?
We can absolutely save it.
Now people ask me, well, how the military become this?
Because the military is a hierarchical organization in response to commanders intent.
We used to say soldiers do what commanders check.
I remember I like to take my cavalry unit out and run around the woods doing recon and screen and all that fun stuff.
But one day my brigade commander is now a two star in California.
He said, Kurt, my priority is maintenance.
You need your maintenance numbers up so that we're ready to roll if there's a disaster.
I knew what I was going to do, and I canceled our fun field training so we could sit around and do PMCS.
All you military guys know what PMCS is.
If the commander's checking wokeness, you will get wokeness.
If the commander's checking combat readiness, you'll get it.
Now, here's my proposal, and it's in the book, We'll Be Back, Fall and Rise of America.
The next president, whoever it is, first of all, needs to not be impressed by generals, and that's a common problem for civilians.
I think Donald Trump was very impressed by generals, and I think he learned through pain that maybe just because they have a lot of stuff on doesn't mean that they're the right guy.
They have to have a sense.
Or that they're not lying to you.
Or they're not lying to you.
What you need is a president, first of all, who will commit time.
Because the most important resource is time.
As a battalion commander, I could get you beans, I could get you bullets, I could get you more guys, I could get you more vehicles.
Never get you more time.
And time, as you know, is the president's currency.
Devote two hours a day to fixing the military, which will make the chief of staff have a stroke.
But if you're the President, Chief of Staff... So what does that look like?
We need to read the book, we'll be back, but where does it begin?
Because you know me, I've worked in the defense arena for almost, I don't know, 20 years.
The wokification of the General Office of Flag Corps, it's endemic!
It begins with firing all the chairmen, all the Joint Chiefs.
It begins by saying Monday 0900.
Be in my office for an orders brief.
We're not having a decision brief.
I don't need your input.
I'm going to tell you what we're going to do.
Step one.
OK, Friday morning you will come in here and you will brief me on your completion of the following order.
You will end all diversity, inclusion, and equity things.
Any program with any of those words in it, you will end.
Any civilian slot that contains one of those words, you will empty and terminate the civilian as excess.
Any military one with those words in the slot, you will transfer to a combat unit.
We're not going to do any of that.
the new heads of the War College and the service academies, because the old ones are gone, they're going to report to you, and you will report to me Friday, that this has been completely removed.
You will have no more training, no more counseling.
We're not going to do any of that.
Now, generals, do you understand what you're going to come and brief me on Friday?
And then you come in, and there's always one in a briefing thing.
There's always, you know, if you're a brigade commander, there's always one battalion commander who's like three steps off.
And maybe the commander of the Space Force goes, well, you know, sir, it was really hard to stop.
I have lost confidence in your ability to perform.
You are relieved.
I'm directing that you not retire pending an investigation of whether you adequately performed as an O-10.
You may be retired as an O-9 or an O-8, but you have not performed adequately, to my mind, as an O-10 because you just violated my order.
Now, would anyone else like to say anything but, yes sir, I have done what you told me?
You do that three times.
And you'll never have to do it again.
I think we'll send this segment to somebody I know in Florida, okay?
I think we have a plan here.
Let's take it down to the tactical level.
It's not just about soldiers or law enforcement.
It's about the people who have the responsibility for their safety first, which is you, dear fellow American.
The President of the United States has this to say about your Second Amendment rights.
The assault weapons need to be banned.
They were banned.
I led the fight in 1994, then under pressure from the anti-random gun manufacturers and others, that ban was lifted in 2004.
In that ten years it was law, mass shootings went down.
When the law expired in 2004, and those weapons were allowed to be sold again, mass shootings tripled.
They're the facts.
I'm determined to ban these weapons again, and high-capacity magazines that hold 30 rounds, and to let mass shooters fire hundreds of bullets in a matter of minutes.
I'm not going to stop until we do it.
None of that is true.
The figures on mass shootings are completely suspicious that he quoted there.
But I have to ask you, as a gun guy like me, as a soldier, as an author, is that ever going to happen?
And if it does, as the author of six books on civil war in America, isn't that going to erupt in violence?
If they try to disarm us?
Look, I think that is one of the potential flashpoints for political violence.
Not because it's a policy choice, but because it is eliminating rights.
It's a negation of the Constitution.
A negation of the Constitution.
Well, Second Amendment, obviously, Fourth Amendment, Fifth Amendment.
It's just crazy talk.
And, of course, my question is, well, who's going to go do it?
Because you saw one untrained mutant With a gun holding off 30 guys, right?
If they wouldn't attack them.
How about 4, 10, 15 million people with assault rifles?
Who's going to go get them?
Look, here's the problem about violence.
I talk very clearly about civil war in there and the spectrum of conflict.
Because I'm very worried about it.
I served in Kosovo.
I saw what happens in a civil war.
And I'm also aware that not only do we have civil unrest like the Los Angeles riots, but we had a low-grade urban leftist insurgency in the early 70s with the Weather Underground, Black Panthers.
I thought you were going to say BLM and Antifa.
I think it's on the scale of conflict.
I think it's a little different than the urban, the SLA kind of thing.
But there are similarities.
But here's the catch point, and you see it, and we saw it just this week.
It's okay to go get in Kavanaugh's face to make him change, to intimidate him.
So now you're moving our political process to intimidation as a legitimate political act.
If you get in his face, why can't you slap it?
If you can slap it, why can't you shoot him?
It's a very, very dangerous slope.
It's a very dangerous slope.

Now we only have a couple of minutes left with you, Kurt.
I want everybody to buy the book.
Let's make this a record-breaking bestseller this week.
It's Will Be Back.
It's Regnery.
You talk about tyranny in the book.
And my parents lived under fascist, Nazi tyranny as children, and then were persecuted under communist tyranny.
Where are we at?
I struggle with this because my parents have lived real tyranny.
But when I look at the FBI, I look at the DOJ, I look at the J6 prisoners, what's the best description for how bad it is here in America now?
I don't want to minimize it.
on the scale where we are look wait on a scale of one to 100 you know 10 or 15 which is unacceptable in america but yeah but with it look they haven't they haven't they haven't opened camps yet they're not murdering people left and right though people are dying unjustly but they're using the Patriot Law against parents they absolutely are It is unacceptable, meaning we can't accept it, meaning the next president has to act decisively.
I think the next president, after he fires Chris Wray and all those guys, I think the first thing he does is pardon every J6 defendant who didn't cooperate.
who was not clearly in cahoots with the Feds to set people up.
And the reason is not because they did or didn't do something that was okay.
We're beyond that.
We're at the point where, are we going to preserve a standard?
The standard is one set of justice.
They have established the standard by saying, if you are part of BLM, Antifa, you will get away with things because you're kind of near our side, and these guys are perceived of not.
The choice is everybody gets prosecuted or no one does.
You pardon them to show that you cannot have a dual justice system.
To reset the balance.
To say that we're resetting.
Yes, to say, no, you don't get to win.
I like that.
I like that.
Okay, guys, you know what to do.

The book is We'll Be Back.
Last message, it is a midterm election year.
We are a couple of years out from a presidential election.
What is your message, Colonel, to those who say, politics not my bag, I'll let others do that?
Politics are going to be your bag whether you like it or not.
You have to decide what kind of country you live in.
And it is your duty to do that.
Look, America doesn't ask much of you.
You've got to pay your taxes, you've got to serve on a jury, you've got to go to war when you have to.
But you also have to be a citizen.
And if you see your country going down the drain, you have to stand up and say, no.
And if that means voting, that's a start.
If it means getting active, hey, citizenship is a participatory sport.
It is not an audience sport.
You're not a spectator.
Get in there and do it.
It's your country.
You can make it happen.
You are a citizen, not a subject.
Act accordingly, and that starts by buying an AR-15, and probably a 9mm as well.
