	Thank you.
	And any other attribution to other groups of inflation is wrong.
	Consumers don't produce it.
	Producers don't produce it.
	Trade unions don't produce it.
	Foreign sheiks don't produce it.
	Oil imports don't produce it.
	What produces it is too much government spending and too much government creation of money and nothing else.
	And nothing else.
	Welcome, dear friends.
	I'm Sebastian Gawker.
	This is America First.
	That was the late, great Milton Friedman, the intellectual leader of the Chicago School of Economists, probably one of the greatest thinkers of the 20th century, the man who received the Nobel Prize in 1976 for his work on free markets.
	What he said back then is true today.
	There is only one source of inflation.
	It isn't you, the consumer.
	It isn't the producer, the person making things in a factory.
	It isn't the unions.
	It isn't foreign oil sheikhs or KGB colonels who run the Kremlin.
	It's your government.
	Your government that has just lied to you and passed in Congress the It's not even ironic.
	It is the insultingly named Inflation Reduction Act.
	An act which is commensurate in size in terms of spending to the U.S.
	defense budget.
	Yes.
	Seven hundred and thirty-five billion dollars.
	Saving seven hundred billion dollars would have an impact on inflation.
	Not spending 700 billion dollars would have no effect on inflation.
	But spending 700 billion of your dollars is going to make what you are suffering from now significantly worse.
	We are going to spend The same amount on new government projects and bloat that we do on nuclear aircraft carriers, nuclear weapons, special forces, frigates, artillery, you name it, in one year.
	In this bill, they are putting aside enough money to quadruple, think of this, this is how they're going to stop inflation, to quadruple the annual budget of the Inland Revenue Service.
	Quadruple!
	They're going to double the number of agents who work for the IRS.
	The IRS has 78,000, 79,000 agents.
	That's more than the FBI has.
	Look.
	You know, the guys who hunt down terrorists.
	And drug traffickers.
	And kidnappers.
	Human traffickers.
	Those guys.
	No, no, no.
	IRS is bigger.
	And now they're going to add more than 80,000 new gun-carrying, badge-wearing agents.
	Not to go after Jeff Bezos and Elon Musk.
	What do you think?
	Have a wild, impetuous guess.
	What do you think happens to a rich guy who gets a phone call at his accountant's office about his tax returns?
	You think he worries about the phone call from the IRS?
	Or do you think he unleashes 20, 50, 100 of the best tax accountants and tax lawyers in America and gets away with paying nothing or paying an itty-bitty fine for not declaring something on his massive tax returns?
	Or do you think he goes to jail for tax fraud?
	No.
	Who do they go after?
	Who do they really go after?
	The people who don't have the army of lawyers.
	The people who can't call up their multiple high-tag accountant firms and say, would you deal with this irritant for me, the IRS?
	It's you!
	Because the average person doesn't have the power to take on 160,000 IRS agents with the force of federal law to not only garnish your wages, but to put you in prison for tax evasion.
	The rich guy can always avoid taxes, can always shelter his money somewhere.
	They'll just move it to Vanuatu or Cyprus.
	You don't get to do that!
	They're coming after you and they're doing this with your money.
	Can we just stop for a millisecond?
	The border is so non-existent that the Customs and Border Protection agents are handing out diapers They're handing out baby formula, the baby formula you can't buy, which is being stockpiled at DHS holding facilities to give to illegal immigrants.
	That's what they're handing out.
	Then, they're asking the illegal... This is not a joke, okay?
	Just ask anybody who has any connections to the CBP.
	They're asking the illegal immigrant, if they don't have an active federal warrant for murder, They ask them, oh, welcome to America.
	Here's your manila envelope of temporary documentation.
	Here's a government-funded cell phone.
	And then they ask them in Spanish, where would you like to go?
	Where in America would you like to live?
	They actually ask the legal immigrant.
	And if they say Boston, it's Boston.
	If they say Vegas, it's Vegas.
	And then they buy them a plane ticket.
	And on the outside, I can show you photographs of this, on the outside of the Manila envelope that is handed to them with their per diem, their phone and their plane ticket.
	There's a big sign in bold black letters stapled to the outside of the manila envelope which says please help me I do not speak English can you get me to my gate meaning at the airport.
	We're not securing the southern border We're allowing more fentanyl in, in one seizure.
	In one seizure.
	To kill every man, woman and child in the nation.
	But the Democrats want 80,000 more IRS agents.
	Do you understand what is going on in America?
	Do you understand how the man in the White House hasn't just got senility?
	He has utterly caved to the extremists.
	This is not the Democrat Party.
	This is a Marxist institution that hates America and wishes to destroy it.
	There's no explanation for opening the border but putting 80,000 more agents in the IRS to hunt you down.
	This is not a normal political party.
	the city.
	This isn't just politics as usual.
	How desperate are they that they had to bring Kamala Harris back down for the tie-breaking vote?
	She's had to do this about 50 times already.
	50 times in a year and a half!
	Never been done before.
	Never!
	Not with this number of tie-breaking votes.
	Why?
	Because they are such extremists that they have to push everything over.
	Why?
	Because if we have God on our side, if we do what needs to be done to stop them from lying and cheating their way and stealing another election, they will never have power again.
	Can we stop them?
	What are you doing about it?
	Well, I'm doing what I can do.
	How about you?
	Look in the mirror and ask yourself.
	I'm Sebastian Gawker.

	Yes.
	All right, can you tell him or Guy that I want to come in with Cut 3?
	Cut 3, yeah.
	Copy that.
	Oh, actually, I'll tee it up because I need to do Israel here.
	Let me tee it up.
	Yeah, I heard that.
	Yeah I heard.
	Kill comms.
	Thanks, buddy.
	Mm-hmm.
	Thank you.
	America First.
	Can you believe it?
	They are saying that they don't agree with America first.
	How do you say that?
	Magnificent.
	I can't see Jeff.
	Is Jeff out there or is he doing something?
	I can't.
	Oh, there I am.
	Thank you.
	That's the other camera.
	It's hiding behind.
	Was that too much of an angry monologue, Mr. G?
	Oh my gosh, that makes me feel better!
	Okay, all right, I need to maybe go on a vacation after that monologue.
	Please, if you need to get away from the insanity, we are going to Israel, to the Holy Land later this year.

	Let's put up the get ready, Eric, with the buffer from Chris Murphy.
	But first, let's play what Chris Murphy had to say about this absolute abortion of a bill that the House passes.
	Cut three.
	Play cut.
	I think we're just at a moment right now where we have had enough technological development that we just needed those incentives.
	And, of course, the back-end great news to all of this is not just that we're going to clean up the climate, but that we're going to create hundreds of thousands of jobs, right?
	Some country was going to have all the renewable energy and wind turbine jobs.
	Now we have a shot to create them in the United States.
	One estimate says 9 million jobs in and around renewable energy are going to be created in this country in the next 10 years.
	That's awesome news.
	9 million.
	Yeah.
	I wonder if they're all going to be at the IRS.
	Let's talk about the truth when it comes to this act with the former Assistant Secretary of the Treasury in the Trump administration, a longtime friend of the show, Monica Crowley.
	You're the first guest.
	Welcome to America First.
	Oh, it's great to be with you, Seb.
	I'm just fuming.
	I'm just absolutely fuming.
	Let's put this buffer up, this tweet from Chris Murphy.
	This is a grown-up congressman tweeting out some kind of superhero cartoon of Joe Biden as if that changes the fact that he can't ride a bicycle and he isn't senile.
	I've vented enough already in the last 23 minutes.
	Talk to us about this bill that is now going to the Senate.
	Well, the first thing that every American needs to understand is we are not dealing with the Democratic Party of JFK and Bill Clinton.
	There are no more moderates.
	This is a revolutionary party.
	This is a Marxist revolutionary party.
	The other thing everybody needs to recognize is that revolutionaries, particularly communist ones, never rest.
	They never go on vacation, they never take a break.
	So while the rest of us were acting in a normal way over this past weekend, a gorgeous August summer weekend, the communist revolutionaries who now control the government We're actively continuing to try to torpedo the U.S.
	economy, and that's exactly what this bill is.
	This is another catastrophic brick in the wall of destroying the U.S.
	economy.
	And the reason that they are doing this is because if they take down the U.S.
	economy, then the rest of the world falls, and we will have the Great Reset really actively in place.
	And that's the ultimate objective.
	Everybody needs to understand that.
	This is not about climate change.
	It's not about the environment.
	They might have some top-line concern about those issues, but that's not what this is about.
	If they really cared about the American people, if they really had concern about skyrocketing inflation and sky-high gas prices and the fact that it is crushing the middle class, Small businesses, the working class and the poor, all of the people that they say that they really care that if they really cared they would not be pushing through another trillion dollars in spending and higher taxes that's going to be leveled on every single American down to if you're earning a mere ten thousand dollars a year.
	In addition, they're creating this army of IRS agents and auditors that are coming right after you.
	The United States only has 789 billionaires.
	If they went after only billionaires and millionaires and did a 100% confiscation, Seb, of all of their wealth, literally taking all of their wealth and assets from them, would fund the government for about a day.
	They're going for where the real money is, and that is the middle class and small businesses.
	That's you and me.
	So, you kind of stole my question.
	The end goal here is to create such a catastrophic collapse that afterwards they get to control and rebuild America in their own image, correct?
	Yes, and so remember for eight years under President Obama, where Joe Biden was the Vice President, I was screaming to the top of my lungs, I know you were on top of this as well, that all of the destruction, all of the economic destruction in particular, but everything, and Obamacare was all part of it, it was part of a socialist agenda.
	And Seb, I remember using the word socialism at the time, And everybody scoffed at me and sort of dismissed it.
	Socialism, Crowley, what are you, crazy?
	Now, socialism is too soft a word.
	What we are really focused on here and what we are witnessing is the deliberate destruction of the U.S.
	economy.
	Because they want to replace it, it's part of the global Great Reset, but here at home this is part of moving the United States away from individual liberty and economic freedom toward a neo-Marxist, neo-communist model, with them at the top, of course.
	They are never gonna suffer under the draconian rules and restrictions and economic deprivation that the rest of us are suffering through and will continue to.
	Oh no, that's not for them.
	They will be the Marxian vanguard, the ruling class that sits above all of it and enjoys great privileges, not eating bugs, eating steaks, bugs for you.
	They will have total mobility here and around the world.
	You will not.
	They will restrict your car, your air travel, and everything else.
	Again, Their top-line argument is they're concerned about the world's resources and the global environment, and all of these things need to be restricted now to make sure that we really husband the Earth's resources going forward.
	That is all nonsense.
	This is about power and control, and the ideology behind it is neocommunism.
	We've got a minute left.
	I have to ask you because you are in New York.
	You have the best connections in the world of finance.
	You were in the Trump administration.
	You're right there in Manhattan.
	What are all the business interests, the Wall Streeters, who funded the Democrats?
	How do they look at this?
	Are they cheering on the death of the American economy?
	You know, they're awfully quiet now, Seb, aren't they?
	Yeah.
	You hear crickets coming from Wall Street.
	Why?
	Because the majority of them did vote Democrat.
	They were appalled by Donald Trump, and they considered him a Bulgarian, so they rejected him in favor of this man who is deliberately torpedoing the U.S.
	economy, along with all of the lackeys and global resetters around him, right?
	So Wall Street is incredibly quiet.
	They're very active when they're talking about different provisions, like in this bill, like carried interest, and all the things that directly affect them, private equity billionaires.
	Then they make their voices heard, and they get these things removed out of these bills.
	So they're all protected, but we're not.
	The left.
	middle class working class the poor weren't the ones left holding the bag while the elite ruling class goes on their way unimpacted by any of this i'm telling you that this is this is like a revolt that is beginning to grow and they better be careful what they wish for yeah the left say they care for the little guy They're just the party of the elite now.
	Listen to her podcast.
	Follow her on Twitter.
	She's Monica Crowley, at Monica Crowley, The Monica Crowley Show.
	I'm Sebastian Gorka.
	This is America First.
	All right, so next is Mr. Trotup.
	Back to him.
	Show me the mix effect.
	I'm sorry, say that again?
	When we do Food for the Poor, instead of just the website, we should have B-roll of destruction in Ukraine.
	I'm sorry, say that again.
	When we do Food for the Poor… Yeah?
	We should have B-roll of Ukrainian destruction.
	Oh.
	Let me see if I still have some of that.
	Mic's off, I assume. I assume.
	All right.
	Uh, yeah.
	Yeah, mic's off.
	Okay.
	can you yeah john
	you you you you you you you you you
	you you you you you you you you you you
	you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you
	you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you
	you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you
	you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you
	you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you news.
	Here's Dr.
	Sebastian Gorka.
	- Huh.
	Who's that guy from West Virginia?
	That senator?
	What's his name?
	Manchin, yes.
	Spelt a little bit differently.
	I guess he doesn't like the coal miners of West Virginia because Ted Cruz of Texas told it straight.
	Cut to.
	Play cut.
	This bill represents the most significant assault on U.S.
	energy production the Senate has ever considered.
	It is designed to bankrupt every coal miner in America, to dramatically increase gas prices consumers are paying, and to permanently harm U.S.
	oil and gas production.
	That's the ideological goal.
	He was a huge success at CPAC.
	One of our colleagues who was there for the whole, whole time was our Vice President for News and Talk Programming.
	We are delighted to have him back on the show.
	Tom Tratter, welcome to America First.
	Thanks, Seb.
	I appreciate it, even though I got introduced with ABBA music, but that's okay.
	Hey, what's wrong with ABBA?
	That's alright.
	I was watching Mamma Mia!
	Here We Go Again last night on TV.
	Well, there you go!
	I knew I had my sources.
	My sources at the IRS who told me that Tom Trattip, Conservative Vice President, was watching ABBA, so that's why we used it.
	How long is it going to take to recover?
	Was it the usual madhouse at CPAC?
	Yeah, it's crazy.
	I mean, it's wonderful.
	I met so many interesting people and one of them was a guy from Oklahoma.
	But he's originally from Canada.
	He asked me not to use his name because he's still undergoing citizenship processing and he didn't want to mess that up.
	But he went on and on about how bad things are in Canada and how communistic and authoritarian the Trudeau government is becoming.
	And he said the bad part is Uh, we all gave up our rights without a fight, and it's not that Trudeau took them.
	We just rolled over and played dead.
	And I said, well, yeah, we don't want to do that in this country.
	That's what guys like.
	Sebastian Gorka are always telling us.
	Yeah, it's a sanitary lesson to see what happened to Canada.
	You have agreed to come on the show to talk about one of our amazing new initiatives with the incredible people of Food for the Poor.
	I want to play some audio of what the reality of war in Europe right now, not 50, 60 years ago is.
	Let's play the cut.
	When there were explosions, we sealed the windows with adhesive tape so that fragments would not hit us.
	The thing I miss most in my city right now is my dad.
	And I really miss his love and care right now.
	I miss my home, my dad.
	As long as I don't think about it, I feel very good.
	But when I start thinking about dad, I feel very bad.
	Incredible audio.
	Tom, talk to us about why this campaign is so close to your heart and how important it is.
	Well, I love food for the poor.
	I know you do.
	I've been on trips with them to Haiti, to Guatemala.
	They go where people need the help the most.
	Usually it's the poorest of the poor.
	In this case, it's refugees of the war in Ukraine.
	But when you hear those kids, Sebastian, like the ones you just played, You know, it strips away all the international politics.
	And should we be helping over there?
	Shouldn't we not be?
	Do we want to spend money when we're all paying so much for gas?
	I've heard all the arguments.
	But, you know, those are kids who are just like my children or, you know, grandchildren of some of your listeners.
	And they're just terrified.
	They need help.
	They need food.
	And the people at Food for the Poor are just absolutely the best in the world.
	They've got ministry partners who are on the ground throughout the region, not only in Ukraine, but in Poland and other countries where the refugees have gone across the border.
	And they just do a fantastic job.
	And for, you know, $1, you feed four specific meals through Food for the Poor.
	So $2 is eight meals, you know, and so on.
	You do the math.
	But it's an efficient, wonderful way for us to reach outside ourselves.
	We all have problems, as we know from this hideous boondoggle spending bill that the Democrats pushed through this weekend.
	But, you know, those things are going to come and go.
	Starving children and kids who are without their parents, this is something that we have the power To do what God asks us to do, to serve as, you know, the hands and feet of Christ, you know, on the earth.
	And I just am so proud of your listeners, many of whom have already given to your campaign.
	Yeah, the math is truly stunning because they have the food.
	It's been donated.
	They just need to physically get it there and distribute it to those children and those mothers.
	So just one $50 donation is 200 meals for the displaced of the war zone.
	You can't get a meal for $200 in DC.
	$100 is 400 meals.
	Listen to Tom.
	Make a difference today.
	It's one of the most blessed things you can do.
	If you've weathered COVID, if you're doing okay, reach out and help these people.
	You can call them right now.
	Make your donation 855-330-HOPE or just go to my webpage SebGorka.com and click on the Help Ukraine banner at the top.
	Thank you, Tom.
	That number again, 855-330-4743.

	Breaking news.
	Olivia Newton-John has died at the age of 73.
	That is absolutely shocking.
	I don't know why or with what conditions.
	Also, I have seen that the man who played the iconic helicopter pilot on Magnum Roger E. Moseley has also died.
	I think we have to play some Magnum music in tribute in the next hour.
	In the meantime here, somebody else who was just back from CPAC.
	According to Tom, who was just on the show, he was the third most popular person there at CPAC after President Trump and Governor DeSantis.
	He's a good friend of the show.
	He's a patriot.
	Brandon Stracker, founder of the WalkAway campaign.
	Welcome back to the Salem Network.
	Hey, thanks for having me.
	So, I saw images of this kind of installation or this setup.
	It looked like some, you know, scene from a horror movie.
	Marjorie Taylor Greene posted it and I didn't realize who was in the jumpsuit, who was in the prison cell.
	That had been recreated at CPAC and then I found out this morning from Tom Tradup who was just on the phone that it was you.
	So for those who haven't seen it, explain what you did at CPAC and why you did it and what the reaction was, Brandon.
	Sure.
	So basically, for anybody who's ever been to CPAC before, they're probably familiar with the fact that there's a large exhibit hall called CPAC Central, where different organizations will come and have a booth, real estate space to basically advertise their business.
	WalkAway Foundation, one of my organizations, got a 20 by 10 space, and we used half of it, 10 by 10, to promote the WalkAway Foundation.
	But on the other half of the space, 10 by 10, We erected a life-size prison cell.
	This is to say about 8 feet by 8 feet, which represent the conditions and the size of space that any prisoners are currently living in.
	This particular piece was drawing attention to the January 6th Prisoners who are sitting in cells across the country, but largely a lot of them concentrated in the DC prison.
	And again, many of these people are not convicted.
	Some of them have not even pled guilty to a crime.
	They're just being held pending trial or pending plea hearings.
	So what I did was we erected this 8x8 cell, life-size, and I got inside with a cot, a chair, and a chalkboard on the back of the back wall.
	And throughout the course of the time that I was in there, I was in there for many hours, I sat in a chair crying, essentially, and getting up occasionally to write different messages on the board, such as, where is everybody?
	Why have I been abandoned?
	Things like this.
	In addition to that, what we did was we got 20 wireless headsets that people could come and put on their heads.
	There were three channels that people could choose from, and as they flipped between the three channels on the headsets, they heard the real voices and the real stories of January 6th defendants who have been FBI raided, taken to jail, put into prison, and talking about how their lives have been ruined and destroyed, many of them over misdemeanor charges.
	And talk to us about, I mean, that's a genius thing to add the audio on top of the political prisoners and those who have been persecuted.
	Talk to us about the reaction, because you don't see that kind of thing at CPAC.
	CPAC is where people like me go to recharge our batteries to understand we're not alone, that there are Millions of people who love this country.
	It's the biggest conservative convocation in the world.
	Usually it's here in the swamp.
	This time it was in Texas.
	But you don't usually go there to get gut punches of America being turned into some kind of socialist state.
	So I'm curious, how was the reaction from the participants, Brandon?
	Okay, so that's its own question.
	If your question is, how was the reaction from the participants?
	Yes, yes.
	Let's talk about the participants first.
	As opposed to the media.
	So the participant, I mean, honestly, I couldn't have asked for more.
	And I mean that sincerely.
	So I had the opportunity to sit on a panel on Friday afternoon.
	And during my panel, I drew attention to the exhibit and told people to come if they really want to hear the stories and get a A glimpse of what's going on that they're not hearing from anybody else including sitting members of Congress on the Republican side of the aisle.
	And therefore, I mean, we literally had hundreds of people lined up for their opportunity to put on the headsets and watch.
	People were weeping.
	What I really liked about it was that even the audience, it became interactive for them.
	Now, I didn't break character.
	So when they tried to ask me questions or communicate with me, I didn't respond to them.
	I didn't answer.
	But people were coming up to the cell and crying.
	People were saying things like, I'm so sorry I didn't do anything.
	I'm so sorry I didn't say anything.
	I promise I'll never be quiet again.
	I'll never let anything like this happen again.
	So in this weird way, it almost became like a confessional for people to atone For the fact that they wish they could go back and have done something when they could have maybe stepped in to try to help.
	That's incredible.
	All right.
	Talk to us about how the mainstream media that doesn't seem to be interested in political prisoners in America, how they reacted, especially not just to you, but to people like Marjorie Taylor Greene coming into the cell to be with you.
	I mean, if you were to look at the stories as they're coming out in the left-wing media, or read the comments on Twitter, or Democrat leadership like Eric Swalwell, who said that this was a piece that was glorifying terrorism, and referred to me as a terrorist, what you would find is that it's a completely unhinged reaction.
	And Seb, I've got to tell you, Dr. Corker, The January 6 hearings that are happening, I'm talking about the congressional hearings, I said this long before the CPAC exhibit.
	I mean, I said this about a month ago.
	It is ratcheting up the unhinged behavior of the most fringe left base.
	I'm seeing people on Twitter now literally at a level of insanity saying things like, You know, that this was an armed insurrection to try to overthrow the government.
	And so when they see a performance piece like this, they actually believe that it's glorifying terrorism and insurrection.
	And what's I think even most astounding at all is there's actually a coordinated effort that's happening right now between the left-wing media and Twitter trolls and you name it, to have me prosecuted for doing this piece.
	So the left is now actually trying to criminalize art.
	And I've never seen anything like this before.

	Is it Brandon Straka?
	Brandon, yes.
	What's your question?
	What's your comment?
	I am overwhelmingly happy that y'all are talking about the January 6th political prisoners.
	It seems like that's not something that's covered and I just don't understand how these People are being held in bad conditions.
	I understand they're harassed by the guards.
	I don't know.
	I've heard this from Marjorie Taylor Greene.
	Well, if you listen to the show regularly, we talk about it all the time, especially when we have Julie Kelly on.
	So what we have in America is 800 people who were hounded by the FBI, the DOJ.
	And now we have still more than a hundred people in solitary confinement in a prison cell not far from this office, from this studio, and it's an absolute bloody outrage.
	You're absolutely right, Deborah, and we will keep on talking about it.
	Let's go to Judy in Brooklyn.
	Judy, welcome to America First.
	Hi, Dr. Gorka.
	Talking about the IRS, I want you to know, for you and anyone listening, that there is a special independent I think it's called inspection division.
	They are independent agents and their function is to monitor and prosecute these IRS agents to make sure these agents do not abuse their power for political or targeting specific groups.
	How did that work with Lois Lane, Judy?
	Yeah, well, you know something?
	Yeah, I understand.
	But you know what?
	People should know about this.
	Sure.
	There is a division, and they are there to monitor.
	Their function is similar to the internal affairs.
	Right, but what happened to Lois Lerner, who targeted Tea Party patriots?
	Nothing.
	She pled the fifth.
	She'd retired on her full pension, a woman who should have gone to prison, so I don't have much faith in the IRS's internal division for investigations.
	No, this is not the IRS.
	This is not the IRS.
	They are separate.
	I don't care.
	They didn't do anything with Lois Lerner.
	I'm surprised you have faith in them.
	Thank you, Judy.
	I'm Sebastian Gawker.
	Next up, the galactic grandmaster of the universe, none other than Andrew Klavan, here in studio on the Salem News Channel.
	Thank you.
	Thank you.
	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.
	If 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, 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.
	The 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.
	Thank you.
	This is America First with Sebastian Gorka.
	You know when you get disillusioned now and again, you're living your life, you're having a good time, everything's cool, and then you say, hey, there's that guy I like.
	And my producers invited him in studio.
	That's really cool.
	It's a Monday.
	We're going to have fun.
	And then he walks in the studio with a book he needs to plug.
	I guess that's life in the swamp.
	I'm Sebastian Gawker, this is America First on the Serenity's channel, and it looks good, it looks good.
	I like the guy who wrote it, so I'll give it a little bit of mileage.
	It's called A Strange Habit of Mine, A Cameron Winter Mystery.
	I do believe it's part two of a series, and it's by the galactic grandmaster of the universe, Claven.
	Andrew Claven.
	No E's in Claven.
	Drew, welcome in studio.
	Thank you, kindly.
	And it's great.
	Is it great?
	Is your book great?
	My book is great.
	This is a sequel to When Christmas Comes.
	And if you read this book, you will say, oh, there's nothing else like this because it's very hard to get published now without being woke.
	And this is so unwoke.
	You'll feel like awake.
	You'll be awakened to it.
	And if you get hold of it right now, I'll be impressed because it's not out yet.
	No.
	But it is important because this is how those scumbags in the New York Times do these things.
	If the pre-orders, if you drop enough pre-orders now when the official stats are launched on the first week, that's how... Oh, oh look!
	He sold 60,000 copies in one day!
	And not just that, not just that.
	It means the publisher, who's afraid, they have a good reason because they know we're gonna be attacked, the publisher says, oh there's an audience for this.
	Yes, hugely important.
	And congratulations or let's give kudos to the publisher.
	It says Mysterious Press.
	Very, yes, very prestigious publisher but not big, you know, prestigious but not big.
	So they need your help in buying this book and pre-ordering this book.
	I'm just going to read the whole book live on air.
	No, no, no.
	Rudyard Kipping.
	It opens with Rudyard.
	Good old Rudyard.
	Right there.
	Right there you know.
	It's completely politically incorrect.
	The opening is from the Ballad of East and West.
	But there is neither east nor west, border nor breed nor birth, when two strong men stand face to face, though they come from the ends of the earth.
	I think I might have to read that.
	The book is A Strange Habit of Mine.
	Get it.
	Pre-order it right now.
	Do my buddy a favor.
	Come on.
	He's a, you know, penurous author.
	Just help the guy out.
	All right, Drew, can we get serious for a second?
	Yes.
	So my son is smarter than me.
	I should hope so.
	I met your wife, he'd have to be.
	Every son should be smarter, stronger, more handsome than their father.
	I remember the day my father looked at me and said, you're taller than me now.
	Good.
	That's as it should be.
	And we had a three hour philosophical discussion last night.
	And it went to something you said at a recent YAF event.
	My wife sent me a podcast of a speech you gave last week and she said it's probably one of the best speeches you've given and I just want to play a little bit about it.
	It starts off, this isn't in the cut, you talk about how The establishment doesn't exist anymore.
	It's bankrupt.
	It's gone.
	Even our priests, even our ministers betrayed us or hid under the table under COVID.
	And then you talked about the intellectuals and the rest of the establishment.
	So just listen to this really.
	This is the best part of the speech.
	I'm going to post the whole video on all my social media platforms.
	But let's listen to Andrew Clavin.
	You have academics who either won't teach the great books or silence those books by smothering them under their own banal and unfounded critical theories.
	Even worse, and I know this because many of you tell this to me, they threaten you with bad grades if you don't lie and pretend to believe what they're saying.
	That is a sin, by the way.
	It's a sin for an old person in authority to coerce a young person into compromising his integrity.
	It's a double sin, and I'm the only person who'll tell you this, it's a double sin to do that to a young man, because integrity is important to both sexes, but it's the essence of being a man.
	You cannot be a man In order to be a man, you have to be who you say you are, and do what you say you will do.
	Be who you say you are, and do what you will say to do.
	That line is incredibly important.
	That definition of what manhood is, is what vexes me the most right now, that we've lost that.
	And the discussion we had yesterday with my son, and I'm going to get straight in, super serious, is that there are crisis points in human history where the establishment is corrupt, has collapsed, is degenerate, hates its own community, and at that point somebody has to fix it.
	The Ajax has to come along.
	The Achilles or the Hector who isn't killed.
	My son said, with his analysis, he's a classicist major, he said, that's what has happened all through human history, but it can't happen now.
	Because social media, modern technology, we can't look at people as heroes anymore and it will be impossible for that man to stand up.
	I countered by saying, The fear of the majority, when the barbarians are at the gate, they will look at the new Churchill, they will look at the new Patton, then they will be found.
	He said, no, technology doesn't permit that anymore.
	Where do you stand on the likelihood of somebody Truly draining the civilizational swamp, Andrew.
	Well, first, I think we have to recognize the danger of the situation.
	There's a theory called the cycle of regimes, which you've probably heard of.
	And the way that democracies collapse is that they begin to worship freedom, as we've begun to do.
	They become chaotic, and then people start looking for that strong man to pull them together again.
	But then you've lost the democracy.
	Right.
	If you want a strong man because he's strong, then you've lost it.
	That's right.
	That's a Putin factor.
	And a man like George Washington, who's given us these many hundreds of years of freedom, they don't come out all that often, you know?
	There's only one guy on the one dollar bill, and there's really nobody like him.
	Even Lincoln is not the kind of character that George Washington is.
	The guy who saved us, and then said, I'm going back to the farm.
	The Ciceroian.
	He had an emperor.
	I mean, he had an army at his back.
	He had the people at his feet.
	He had an entire continent that was all his.
	And he handed his sword back to the civilian authority.
	That just does not happen in history.
	I mean, that's an amazing, miraculous moment.
	And we can't really count on that again.
	However, however, where I disagree with your son is that everybody is going to be dissected by the Internet.
	The crisis that we're in now is an Internet crisis.
	It is a crisis just like the one that followed the invention of the printing press when information became general.
	Gods fell, churches fell, war for 300 years.
	There was bloodshed throughout Europe as people fought out where things were going to stand.
	And that's what we're trying to avoid because most of the time that ends up with tyranny.
	But yes, good men can rise.
	Good men can rise.
	And I think right at this moment, right at this moment, if you watch the culture, and this is the thing that I've actually kind of have some weird expertise as of, if you watch the artistic culture, it's dead.
	Our art is dead.
	And everything is because they're looking for the definition of a good man.
	Feminism has undercut what a good man is because immediately you say, you heard me in that speech say it's different to destroy the integrity of a young man than it is a young woman.
	Women have a little wiggle room.
	We like them to fool us a little bit.
	We like them to change their minds.
	We understand that they're thinking differently than the way we are.
	A man has to have integrity in order to be a man.
	That is the definition of a man is his integrity.
	Can you drill down on that because it's a very subtle point.
	Yes.
	That a woman is allowed that.
	We're not saying a woman can exist without integrity.
	But explain why there's a certain plasticity or a little bit of a wiggle room for a woman.
	But when a man loses integrity, that's it.
	He's done.
	Can you expand on that?
	Well, first of all, women, you know, anyone who knows them knows they think entirely differently than we do.
	I never would turn to my wife and say, well, that's not what you said yesterday.
	I know it's not what she said yesterday, and she knows it's not what she said yesterday, but she feels her way, and she actually, the thing that drives men crazy about women is they're completely out of their minds, but they're not always wrong, right?
	They keep saying things, and you keep saying, well, gee, I don't know where that came from, but it's true, so you learn to respect their way of thinking.
	But it's not the same as our kind of clunkier, more direct, more naked way of thinking, using reason and courage to kind of move forward into what we feel the truth is.
	And so we have no wiggle room like that.
	We have to, when we make our mistakes, we have to admit them, change our minds, move on.
	And when we're not making mistakes, we have to move forward very forcefully or else the world falls apart.
	People who wear t-shirts who say the future is female, the future is never female.
	And the reason the future is never female is you have two children and one of them says, I'm going to take a cardboard box and turn it into a ramp and take my skateboard to the moon That's the boy.
	That's the crazy boy.
	Because he'll do it and he'll break his legs and he'll be in traction.
	But one day he'll invent that thing that will do what he wants it to do.
	So, you know, we're in this dangerous moment when manhood has been undermined.
	When there is nobody to stand up and say, this is what manhood looks like.
	When even the arts can't find what a hero looks like.
	If you look at the last good period of the arts, it was this golden age of television.
	Where we have the Sopranos and Breaking Bad and Dexter, all these anti-heroes, all these people who were only men because they violated every rule and broke the rules of society.
	What we're looking for right now, and there's an amazing, amazingly to me, there was an article about this in the New York Times, what we're looking for right now is not the anti-hero, but the hero and the male hero.
	What is that going to look like?
	It's not Some boring thing that we don't believe in but is in fact a full man.
	Realistic.
	A realistic hero with all the problems of the modern world on his shoulder.
	Part of what this book is about.
	Shut up about the book.
	We'll talk about the book in the next segment.
	I'm Sebastian Gorka, this is American First.
	I've got thousands of questions because this is the stuff I love to listen to.
	That's why it's my favorite U.S.
	podcast, The Andrew Klavan Show.
	Forget the rest of the guys at The Daily Wire, he's the real deal.
	I'm Sebastian Gorka.

	Sebastian Gorka.
	Give us a five-star review.
	We'll be back in a second.
	Knee surgery, so it's like...
	Yeah.
	That's what, you know, 10 years of rowing has done to the 23-year-old's body.
	So let's talk about it, because this is fascinating, because even in the break, the guys can listen.
	Okay.
	When they talk about, oh, television is so great now.
	It's greater than movies.
	And I look at all those things that you mentioned, like Daxter and Sopranos.
	And it's stuff I can't watch any of it.
	No.
	Because I don't want to celebrate antiheroes.
	I can watch Lear.
	I know Lear backwards.
	I studied it in high school.
	Or Troilus and Cressida and Julius Caesar and what have you.
	And that classic tragedy makes sense.
	But Sopranos doesn't make sense to me.
	It doesn't have the weight of a Shakespeare.
	It doesn't have the sophistication.
	Yes, it's got betrayal and reversal and blah blah blah.
	But it's anti-heroes for the sake of anti-heroes.
	Am I making sense?
	Like Dexter.
	There's nothing redeeming of Dexter.
	I'm sorry, he's murdering murderers.
	Okay really?
	Yeah no I actually disagree with you about that.
	Well, The Sopranos, obviously it's not Shakespeare, nothing Shakespeare except Shakespeare, but The Sopranos is a brilliant show because it's about television.
	It's about the structure of television stories.
	The fact that in a show, a movie, or a play, or a novel, the character has an arc, a character arc.
	But in TV shows, the character remains the same, and just the incidents change.
	And that's a lot more like life, because a lot of times people don't change.
	They just go through different stages of their life.
	So The Sopranos is about never changing.
	And in the darkness of the characters and in their evil, actually Christian and Judeo-Christian truth circles them and kind of turns them into silhouettes.
	Again and again, there's one, one of the episodes is called From Where to Eternity, something like that.
	And one of the characters gets shot, someone prays to Christ to bring him back.
	He comes back, but he comes back after being in hell and realizing he's a damned.
	individual.
	And by the end of the show, it's completely forgotten.
	Everybody just totally...
	throws it away and goes back to being a mobster, because that's kind of the idea of the show, that they can't change their characters, even when they see God right in front of their faces.
	There's a brilliant episode where the wife, Mrs. Soprano, goes to a Jewish therapist, and he says, you'll never be happy because you're married to an evil man, and unless you give back everything you've taken, you're going to live with this evil, because he's a Jew, he's delivering this kind of on-high Mount Sinai truth to her, because he's a Jew, he's delivering this kind of on-high Mount Sinai truth to her, and she just can't accept it. - Are you saying That that was consciously injected.
	Oh, no question about it.
	I mean, I'm not saying that... Yeah, I mean, artists do more than they know.
	All artists do more than they know.
	But yes, he definitely knew what he was dealing with, and that he was dealing with evil in a therapeutic age, and that's why... What about the Judeo-Christian concert?
	Oh, no question.
	No question about it.
	Yeah.
	Oh, go watch.
	Just watch the episode from where to attend.
	But didn't he say the same about Breaking Bad?
	Breaking Bad, you know, it's interesting.
	Breaking Bad was, again, very openly about manhood.
	Everybody says, you know, he goes bad to save his family.
	That's half-truth.
	He goes bad to save his manhood, and in his manhood, he saves his family.
	All right.
	We'll talk about this thing.
	Because I don't do that.
	I'm not developing an anti-hero.
	I'm trying to answer.
	I'm trying to answer.
	Making sense out of today's nonsense, here's Dr. Sebastian Gorka.
	Eric, are we recording the breaks?
	Good, because that was a good break.
	I want to post all of these three segments together as one, because this chap, not too shabby.
	I'm Sebastian Gorka, this is America First.
	I don't care where you stand on the political spectrum.
	I don't care where you stand on the issue of Ukraine.
	The fact that Russia invaded is the most important thing.
	But seriously, people are suffering.
	People are getting killed.
	Citizens.
	That's the modern warfare.
	The majority of people who die in modern war are citizens.
	And right now, women and children are under attack.
	They're displaced in Ukraine.
	There's one organization I'm working with that is helping them.
	Let's do the Christian thing, like our Lord and Savior told us.
	Come unto me, the little children.
	Help the widows.
	Help the dispossessed.
	They've already shipped 11 million meals to the mothers and the children who are trying to survive in a besieged Ukraine.
	Make a difference today, make a donation in any amount, but $50, just $50 is 200 meals.
	They have the meals donated, they just have to get them in theatre.
	and distributed through their network of pastors.
	Make a difference.
	You can call them today.
	Go to your phone 855-330-HOPE or just go to my webpage sebgorka.com and click on the Help Ukraine banner at the top.
	It's Food for the Poor.
	Amazing organization.
	Call 855-330-4743 or go to sebgorka.com and right at the top the Help Ukraine banner.
	You're literally saving lives today.
	Irrespective of what you think of the war, women and children are suffering.
	God bless you.
	God bless Food for the Poor.
	We're back with Andrew Klavan.
	He is the Grand Master of the Andrew Klavan Show.
	Subscribe.
	Hit the little notifications bell on YouTube.
	Watch it.
	He's allowed me to transcribe.
	Thanks to Eric we have transcribed his YAF lecture.
	I'm going to be posting it because you need to read it.
	If you're not into YouTube or whatever, read it.
	It is that, that good.
	However, he just, he's a graphomaniac.
	He doesn't sleep.
	He says that repeatedly on his show.
	So he's got a brand new book out, A Strange Habit of Mine.
	No spoilers, but what's the series about?
	This series is about an apparent college professor who's got a very dark past.
	Who's got a very violent and dark past.
	And in this one he comes face to face with a billionaire social media tycoon.
	From South Africa?
	Who he thinks is cancelling people in a very egregious way.
	And it's a story, you know, we were talking about antiheroes in the break.
	It's a story about a guy trying to go from being an antihero to becoming a hero.
	That really is what the series is about.
	And how do you do that?
	How do you get past the past, into the future, into being a better man?
	And here he finds himself faced with Questions of race, questions of gender, all the things that are bothering us today and making his way through it as an honest man.
	You're making it sound like these are issues in the real world.
	No, I just make this stuff up.
	Sounds like a good movie script, Andrew Clayton.
	However, no one else would have published this but Mysterious Press.
	Seriously.
	Is there somebody we can give a shout-out to?
	Is there an editor or publisher?
	Otto Penzler is the greatest mystery... No kidding!
	He's the greatest mystery editor in the world and he has kept me alive when other people have cancelled me.
	He has stuck by me all, you know, throughout my career and he has put out this book in a great way and I'm really hoping people will pre-order it so he knows that we're going to deliver an audience.
	Otto Penzler, hat tip, we doff our caps to you.
	Don't forget your cap, Cleveland.
	The book is A Strange Habit of Mine.
	Please, as a favor to me, guys, please pre-order it right now, A Strange Habit of Mine.
	So my son is just the best.
	We had three hours of discussion over cigars last night.
	Then he watched Return of the Jedi with me.
	As he's getting ready to start the show, the movie, he says in a kind of, I really hope it's true, but I'm not sure it is, and he says, Dad, Do you think Top Gun is really the beginning?
	And I'm wondering, it's dangerous to read too much into what Maverick has done.
	Because of course Tom Cruise can literally do whatever he wants.
	He could do like a Yoko Ono sitting in front of a camera for two hours and say it's a movie and people would probably go and watch it.
	But it didn't make a million bucks in six weeks.
	Should we read something into it or be cautious because it's Tom Cruise?
	Well we should be cautious not just because it's Tom Cruise but because Hollywood is well able to ignore economic realities to push its crazy woke message.
	So the thing that all they care about is money is not true?
	It's not true.
	No, it's never been true.
	The people who say that don't work in Hollywood.
	First of all, artists work for love.
	That's the first thing.
	Artists wouldn't starve in garrets if they were just working for money.
	And the second thing is there are a lot of other rewards that you get in Hollywood that go beyond money.
	Awards, women, prestige, fame.
	They're not going to give you a lot of prestige.
	I mean, look at this wonderful TV show, The Terminal List.
	Have you watched this?
	We had Jack Carr on the show.
	We had the author on the show.
	He's coming on my show as well, and I read the book when it came out, and I thought, this is really good stuff.
	He knows how to write.
	He knows how to write, and he also knows the intricacies of being a Navy SEAL, so it's very realistic.
	It's lots and lots of fun.
	Chris Pratt does a great job.
	But if you look at Rotten Tomatoes, it gets something like a 2% from the critics, and then a 98%.
	But that counts for something.
	See, this is a big deal.
	I wrote a horror movie.
	It's not a good horror movie, but I wrote a horror movie that the audience loved.
	The Werewolf Carpool?
	No, no.
	It was called One Missed Call.
	It's not very good.
	I'm not going to plug it.
	However, the audience loved it.
	And there was an audience of young kids, and they thought it was fun and scary.
	The critics just tore it to pieces.
	Would they make a sequel of it?
	No, because they couldn't take the heat from the critics.
	This is a problem.
	Prestige is one of the things that sells in Hollywood, as well as awards.
	You're not going to get an award.
	You're not going to get an Emmy for The Terminalist.
	You're not going to get The Girl.
	You know, you're going to be kind of a pariah.
	So we're fighting real uphill forces.
	And if we don't start making stuff, if we don't start building studios, and if we don't start building streaming services and all the rest, ultimately, Hollywood's just going to go back to its old habits and sell you You know, it's going to do things like sell you stories that are pretty good, but in the middle you get to hear how great socialism is, the way they did it in one of the James Bond films.
	What was it called?
	The Quantum of Solace, where suddenly James Bond says something great about socialism.
	The guy who single-handedly brought down the Soviet Union is suddenly telling us how great socialism is.
	So Hollywood is not going to change unless we compete with them, and if when we compete with them, then they'll start to come around.
	Is that realistic?
	Is that a realistic goal?
	You look at, you know, an industry that can throw away two, three hundred million per movie.
	God bless Gina Carano.
	God bless Nick Sirsi.
	But are we going to create an eco structure that each unit has two, three hundred million dollars behind?
	Well, you know, you look back at the 70s when this was happening again and guys like Clint Eastwood made a lot of dough making Dirty Harry films.
	People forget why Dirty Harry was so successful.
	It was because crime was rampant.
	Nobody wanted it.
	It was racist to say that crime was rampant.
	And Clint Eastwood said, go ahead, make my day.
	That's why that became iconic.
	There were other, Death Wish was another series that was just like that.
	If we make those films, and some of them are not that expensive to make, people will show up.
	If people will show up, we can make more expensive films.
	It's going to take time, but we can definitely compete with them.
	We just don't.
	We don't because right-wingers are so philistine.
	They're philistines.
	They don't realize how important the culture is.
	Well, we are waiting for the day of the return to high culture, such as Dirty Harry or Death Wish.
	That's my kind of high culture, because I have a .44 Magnum.
	I have also an Auto Mag.
	So, you know, the iconic, iconic Clint weapons are in my safe at home.
	I'm Sebastian Gorka.
	This is America First.

	Well, you know, Pride Month will soon be Pride three months.
	Might not keep selling it.
	You want the lines open?
	What have we got here?
	Yes.
	Did you see this interview that Rogan did with Lex Freedman?
	Do you know who Lex Freedman is?
	No.
	I don't think I do.
	Young kid from Russia who is really into AI and high-tech stuff.
	I think he's on the spectrum.
	He does very deadpan interviews, very no emotions.
	But he gets great guests, very techie guests.
	And Rogan was on the show a while back and it came up on my feed.
	And I commended Friedman, I DM'd him, I sent a message.
	Because, I don't know if he's pro-Trump, but he said, Hey Joe, it'd be great to get President Trump on your show.
	And Rogan says, Oh no, I've had many approaches, but I'm not going to give him the platform because I don't want to make him look good.
	And then 10 minutes later, Friedman gets him to say, Well, yeah, that Infowars guy, Alex Jones, he's great.
	Why don't you have him on your show?
	To show the other side, to humanize him!
	And Friedman goes, oh, wouldn't that be a good reason to have Donald Trump?
	He's like, oh, no, no, no, no.
	Just completely walked him into this, you know, kill zone of illogic.
	And it's like, really?
	Joe, did you just hear what you said 10 minutes earlier?
	Yeah.
	Very slick.
	You know, Roger Kimball was very brilliant, but he noticed something that I noticed a long time ago, that they never mention Trump without using words that basically attack him.
	So they'll say, you know, he's supporting the lie that the election was stolen.
	And you think, like, well, you're a journalist.
	Can you prove it's a lie?
	You know, I mean, you know, I'm willing to buy it, but I'm not willing to buy it just because you throw it into a sentence.
	Right.
	Well, like, you know, the mildest one is divisive.
	As if what?
	It's politics.
	87,000 IRS agents isn't divisive.
	Who's divisive?
	It's politics.
	It's supposed to be divisive.
	This is when people say, we want less division.
	I say, you know we don't have division in North Korea, dude.
	It's like, I want division.
	That's right, of course.
	You want us fighting tooth and nail as long as we don't kill each other.
	Somebody did the stats today.
	this thing we need bipartisan support and you know I have a little bit of sympathy for that I think if you pass a bill that can only get votes from your party you know but right now we're so divided Kamala has had to come in and tie break 52 times.
	Do you know what the highest number for Vice President of Ties was?
	I think it was back in Madison, was 20 in 8 years.
	Wow.
	In 8 years!
	She's done 50 in 18 months!
	Amazing.
	Isn't that incredible?
	Yeah.
	I just, you know, this election has me worried.
	Are you worried about this or do you think it's going to be great?
	What do you mean?
	The midterms?
	Yeah, the midterms.
	No, I think they'll be crushed.
	You think we'll crush them?
	Oh yeah.
	I mean, just because of pocketbooks.
	Yeah.
	Just pocketbooks.
	Yeah.
	I mean, if they don't steal a lot, it'll be pocketbooks.
	Yeah.
	Okay.
	This is bad.
	They're out of control.
	Yeah, they're out of control, but they're having a good week.
	I mean, it's like when the bad guys have a good week.
	Thank you.

	The new book, you've got to pre-order it right now, is A Strange Habit of Mine, one of the Cameron Winter Mystery Series books.
	Please, please, let's get this guy on the bestsellers, A Strange Habit of Mine.
	And kudos to your agent or your publisher, who is?
	Otto Penzler.
	Otto Penzler, the great Otto Penzler.
	Right, we were talking in the break, I brought up this.
	If you guys haven't seen it, I think I'll post a clip of it.
	Lex Friedman, this young podcaster, big into technology, had Joe Rogan as a guest, which is unusual in and of itself, and managed to very skillfully walk Joe into a trap of his own making by saying, why didn't you have Donald Trump on your show?
	You've got the biggest podcast in the world!
	And Rogan says, Not interested in helping that guy out!
	It's not my job!
	He's nasty!
	And then literally 10 minutes later, he gets him to admit, I love Alex Jones.
	I put him on my show so people could see the other side of Alex Jones, the guy who just got fined $40 million for lying about Sandy Hook.
	So this is part of our broader discussion.
	Congrats to Lex, by the way.
	Divisiveness, or allowing people to say their viewpoint, shouldn't we welcome that?
	Because this is the biggest thing about Trump.
	Oh, oh, he's divisive.
	As opposed to what?
	AOC, right?
	No, this is all... I mean, this is all... We have to understand what a monoculture we're living in, you know?
	This is the thing that skews everything.
	If Donald Trump had three channels and the left had three channels, I would say, great, fight it out, fight it out.
	But in fact, the left still holds the high ground, not just in the media, not just in every aspect except for radio and podcasting.
	But, not only there, but they hold it in terms of the government, obviously, and in terms of law enforcement now, corporations.
	This was, you plugged my Yaf speech before about the collapse of the establishment.
	That's what I mean.
	You know, it's one thing, it's one thing to have an avant-garde, a rebellious avant-garde.
	Sometimes they bubble up fresh ideas, and sometimes people like us conservatives are saying, no, no, we can't do that.
	Okay, that's fine.
	That's part of the system.
	That's part of how it works.
	Young people are usually a little bit more creative than older people, old people.
	What if it's not the collapse?
	which is also good we don't have that system anymore the old people are gone the old people just support whatever these crazy lunatics do but let me push back on because as i'm listening to you bulgarize your own presentation because you use that phrase the collapse of the establishment what if it's not the collapse what if it's the strengthening in in the sense of that they become invincible They become Teflon, Kevlar, cast iron-coated, because we can't touch them.
	As you said, all we have is talk radio and podcasts.
	Yeah, but there ain't no such thing as invincible.
	It's the ossification, the strengthening of the establishment, because nobody can penetrate their monopoly.
	I mean, what you're describing, for example, in terms of bureaucracy, is what I fought in the White House.
	It's a deep state.
	And they were more powerful than President Trump because look at what happened in the last six months.
	President Trump ordered, literally ordered, the declassification of all Russia collusion garbage.
	And guess what?
	The declassification system in America belongs to the President.
	Nobody else gets to classify or declassify.
	It belongs to the President.
	He ordered it.
	And it was slow-rolled all the way to the election.
	Now, that isn't an establishment that's collapsing, Drew.
	Is it?
	Oh, yes.
	No, it is.
	I think you're wrong about this.
	Explain, explain.
	It comes on my show to tell me I'm wrong.
	Can't let him talk, because I'm not Joe Rogan.
	Go ahead.
	I think when I compared the internet to the printing press, that is a very exact analogy.
	When the printing press comes out, suddenly people are reading the Bible for themselves.
	They're starting to disagree with the Catholic Church, which is a massive, unified power system.
	Well, the Catholic Church didn't just go away.
	It didn't just say, OK, we're all going to be friends.
	There are going to be different religions.
	It was war.
	Yeah, for 150 years.
	For 150 years.
	And that's what you're seeing now.
	Basically, the left Yes.
	is in that position right now.
	They are what Samuel Coleridge called the clerisy.
	They are the authorities.
	And yes, they're trying desperately to hold on to that.
	But you don't have to desperately hold on to something that's not slipping away.
	If it weren't slipping away, they wouldn't be so desperate to hold on.
	And I think that the sign of Trump, the terror that went through them with Trump, just shows how delicate they are.
	Listen, when your hero is George Soros, you're not in a position of strength.
	But that doesn't mean you're not in a position of authoritarianism.
	They are authoritarian.
	They are tyrannical.
	It's like Ceausescu.
	It's like, you know, he thinks he's in control.
	Until you step out on that balcony.
	Until you step out and they don't say, hail Ceausescu, they say sod off and then look on his face.
	Do you want to sell more books?
	Yes.
	You want to stay here a little longer?
	Sure.
	All right, don't go anywhere.
	But you have to hand-pedal them.
	Like this, like this.
	I'm Sebastian Gorka.

	Hello, David.
	Hello, hello.
	Hey, hi, what's your question?
	What's your comment?
	No, I just wanted to, I'm sorry.
	I'm so late Sebastian.
	Listen, I just I saw your program last night.
	It was wonderful.
	I couldn't believe I That it's finally somebody showing how much influence the film had.
	Listen, I'm 80, and when I went to the show, we saw Gene Autry and Roy Wright.
	They were all B-movie cowboys, but all the movies in those days, the heroes always won.
	I woke up with a moral fiber.
	Hang on a second.
	Can you put the sound up in here, John?
	Alright, so you're 80 years old, you went to the movies as a kid, and what happened at the end of the movies, John?
	Oh, all the heroes.
	There were so many heroes.
	There were miniature Top Gun movies.
	Top Gun is great.
	I know it's wonderful, but when I grew up, my mother and father would let us go to the movies.
	We didn't have PG, parental guidance.
	We went there because in the end, even some of the darkest, I don't know, detective movies, the good guys always win.
	It would always win.
	There was a moral fiber that was made into the movies, whether they did it on purpose or not.
	I can remember being in the movies And when the good guys would win towards the end of the film, people in the movie house would clap.
	Also, during your discussion today, I must say, there will be a hero on the way.
	The hero will come, biblically, he'll come from God.
	If you look at the Bible, no matter how dark the Bible, from the Old Testament to the New, is full of unsung heroes except for Christ, who died for our sins.
	The hero that's coming, this is what I believe because of my faith, the hero that's coming will come from God.
	As soon as our hearts get right, About our relationship with him and not politics.
	Beautifully put.
	Stay on the line, my friend.
	I want to say thank you for that contribution.

	Drew, you agreed to stay in the studio.
	Thank you kindly.
	Your monologues are hilarious.
	Your commentary on politics.
	I want to juxtapose two little clips for you.
	The first one is we have been told for decades now that Nancy Pelosi is the arch strategist.
	She is the Machiavelli of Capitol Hill.
	I'd like to question that with a little cut.
	This is cut 14.
	This is the arch strategist.
	When I was a little girl, I was told at the beach if I dug a hole deep enough...
	...dug a hole deep enough she'd reach China.
	She actually said that in front of a camera.
	I used to say that when I was maybe six.
	Yes.
	She's the art strategist.
	Well, they've certainly dug a hole deep enough to turn us into China.
	Exactly.
	All right, now let me juxtapose that with somebody who has... I like this guy.
	I've got some issues with him when it comes to who he books on his show, but that's another issue.
	There's a chap called Charles Payne on Fox Business.
	Very smart guy.
	Now, indulge me.
	I never Play really long cuts.
	But this cut is so bloody on point.
	This is a kind of peek behind the curtain of what the Democrat Party has become and what they're really doing, for example, with this inflation-increasing act.
	So this is Charles Payne talking about the real Democrat agenda, the real strategy, cut nine.
	You know, Sean, I really want to go after this bill in a way that people need to understand.
	The International Energy Agency, which is a big international group of folks who have a lot of power, in July they put out a supply chain report for electric vehicles.
	This is what the world's going to need just to meet 2030 goals.
	We're going to need the world 50 more lithium mines, 60 more nickel mines, 17 more cobalt mines.
	So these mines come from, the cobalt comes from Congo.
	You ever see videos of those kids, 7 year old kids in filthy water for about 8 hours a day, 12 hours a day, no education, pennies on the dollar.
	The lithium, some comes from Australia, some comes from Chile.
	You gotta poison the waters to get it out of there.
	Some comes from Russia.
	Indonesia, you got the nickel.
	And the reason I'm bringing this up is there are five stages to getting from the raw material to the finished product.
	So when we talk about saving, just think if you were even if you love the climate issue itself, the president is lying to you.
	This bill does nothing on the climate side.
	What it means is that we're going to continue to strip mine the planet.
	We're going to strip mine the planet and poison the waters.
	So as you go along, through the process, you got the materials, you start to process it.
	Russia takes a greater share.
	I mean, China takes a greater share.
	Then you do the cell components.
	China takes a greater share.
	And then you get the batteries.
	This is the most important part to remember.
	When the White House talks about energy security, I guess they're talking about those batteries.
	Right now China has a 77% share.
	In a couple of years they'll have an 80% share.
	Our share will go from 9% to 6%.
	The only part of this equation that we play a role in is at the very end of it.
	We buy these things.
	And you make the point already.
	We have the federal government paying, giving money to the richest Americans, college grads who live in urban settings.
	To buy these cars.
	They can afford them on their own.
	They don't need any incentives.
	Certainly they don't need the taxpayers money.
	Someone driving a cab for a living.
	So this whole thing is a complete farce.
	There's nothing economic about it.
	No.
	And it does nothing.
	Zero.
	Zero.
	To even save the climate.
	I think that's one of the most cogent two-minute explanations of what the Green New Deal and today's bill actually results in.
	More money for communist countries and African countries to oppress people and put kids in cobalt mines.
	And then for us to buy batteries at the end of the day.
	You know these people.
	You've worked in Hollywood.
	You know the left, Drew.
	Is what they're doing truly the Cloward-Piven plan?
	Are they really destroying us for the benefit of dictatorial regimes?
	Or are they just self-deluded?
	Do you have a sense as to... I think there are people on the left who are that smart.
	I do think that, but they're not in Hollywood.
	But are they influencing, for example, this $800 billion I think so.
	I mean, I think the idea that the middle class is going to be gutted, that the IRS is going to be this titanic machine of oppression.
	I mean, this has got to be the first thing on a Republican agenda if we get power back again.
	It's got to be demolished.
	It's got to be taken away.
	You know, and the FBI has got to be cleaned out.
	I mean, look how dirty they've turned out to be, and how little a story it is.
	When I talk about a monoculture, this is the most frightening thing that's happening now, and I'm not sanguine about it's going away.
	All I'm saying is we know we're in a fight, and that's always a good thing.
	It's always a good thing when you're not being crept up on.
	In terms of the culture, I think there's just a lot of people in Hollywood who do not know what they're talking about.
	But when it comes to this city, where you live now, Now these people, a lot of these people here are smart.
	Because what they're doing is they're basically creating a tributary state.
	America will be a tributary state to China when it comes to EVs and batteries, and Russia when it comes to energy.
	And they're doing this consciously, alright?
	Am I right?
	Well, some of them are doing it consciously.
	There's a lot of stupidity out there.
	A lot of them, in the moment, Joe Manchin I don't think is doing it consciously.
	I think he got a deal.
	But the Palmers, the Nazis, the Schumers.
	They can't not know.
	I think at some level they know.
	I mean, Schumer... Look at Schumer, though.
	Schumer was a moderate Democrat.
	I mean, you know... So was Biden!
	I know, I know.
	But now they feel the AOC at their back and they feel that she's getting all the press, she's getting all the prestige.
	We were talking before about how Hollywood isn't all about money.
	It's also about this kind of cloud that the media is able to create where Chuck Schumer is afraid that AOC will challenge him and win.
	And she's very good at overturning old men who have gotten complacent in their places.
	And Schumer knows that, and he suddenly sounds like Stalin.
	It's amazing.
	So much of it is self-interest on the ground.
	But above that, of course there are people who know what they're doing.
	Gorsuch, Kavanaugh, you have reaped the whirlwind right.
	As he said to President Trump, the intelligence community has seven ways from Sunday to get at you.
	Yeah, that's Chuck Schumer.
	I'm Sebastian Gorka.

	That Charles painting, that means we are subservient to China.
	If you want everybody to have electric vehicles, it truly means you are subservient to the people who make the batteries.
	Which is not us!
	But I think at the level of some of these guys, especially in Congress, I think some of these guys are just bought and paid for in the moment.
	They don't really know what they're doing.
	They're trying to hold their position.
	I believe in term limits really strongly just because of this.
	Because if Chuck Schumer knows that he's going to be out of office, he doesn't have to sell himself in the same way, you know.
	It's just embarrassing.
	When I was in the White House, I testified in front of one of the House Armed Services Committees on the Trump policy with ISIS.
	I mean, the testimony, the hearing was, you know, the policy to defeat ISIS.
	And it's a big deal for me, right?
	Testify.
	Work my ass off.
	Write the written thing.
	I get six minutes to deliver.
	45 minutes in, that Indian guy from New York walks in 45 minutes late, checks which camera is on, and then his staffer reads him a statement and says, uh, Dr. Gorka, what is it like to work for a white supremacist administration?
	And I said, on record, I said, I think you've walked into the wrong committee here in congressman, because this is about ISIS.
	And these people are just, they're like whores.
	They look for the camera, and they read a script.
	That's right.
	And they think that's the thing that's going to get them on the evening news.
	That's the soundbite.
	That's when I realized how bad it is.
	I just think so many of these guys do not know what they're talking about.
	out.
	They just know where the money's going.
	The End
	No hate speech, just happy warriors on America first.
	My guest just said to me, uh, I'm about to forget that I'm on air.
	Well, you should!
	This is a chat with me and you and nobody else, just three million people.

	This is America First.

	Order it right now.
	Pre-order A Strange Habit of Mine.
	A couple of minutes left, Drew.
	Let me ask you advice to those who love America, who want to get into culture.
	How do you write a good story?
	What's it about?
	I mean, it has to come out of yourself.
	You start writing because you have stories to tell.
	You know, you can't just say... A writer writes because they have to.
	That's right.
	You have to do it.
	If you didn't, you'd do something safe and easy.
	Biggest mistakes to avoid as an author?
	You're not there to express yourself.
	You're there to communicate with other people.
	What does that mean?
	Explain.
	That's fascinating.
	Well, a lot of young writers start out thinking, well, the glory that is me is going to be poured out upon the page.
	But no, you're in a profession, and the profession is to communicate with other people.
	You are transferring something of yourself, but you're transferring it to other people.
	And if they can't break through, if they can't see what you're doing, what difference does it make that you put words on a page?
	That's very good.
	That's what words are for, you know.
	Interesting.
	And then dialogue.
	Is that truly one of the hardest things to do, is realistic dialogue?
	Some people have a knack for it, but I think the interesting thing is the difference between dialogue in a screenplay, that somebody has to speak, and dialogue in a novel that has to be in your mind, has to sound realistic in your mind.
	Very different things.
	Can you describe the difference?
	Well, one is going to be, once you see somebody, an actor on screen, speaking your lines, you instantaneously become a better screenwriter.
	Because you suddenly say, oh, you can't really say that and make it sound realistic.
	Where something can be in your mind, and you think like, yes, I get that, I get what that guy is, I get who the character is.
	So you're just dealing with a different theater.
	One is the theater of the mind, and one is the theater of the theater, and you have to understand the difference between those two things.
	Experience really helps with that.
	Are you a planner?
	Kurt Schlichter says he never plans any of his books.
	He sits down and just has fun.
	Kurt Schlichter is out of his mind!
	We know that!
	He's crazy!
	Do you have a meticulous plan?
	I'm meticulous about it.
	The reason I'm meticulous about it is because I love the actual writing.
	I hate outlining, so I do all the outlining first and that way I never sit down in my chair and think, what am I doing today?
	I have to sit for an hour silently, you know, musing over the plot.
	It's a terrible, terrible thing in a novel especially to get to page 350 and realize that the gun you need to be in the kitchen was left in the living room on page one.
	Especially if you're as old as he is and you're using a typewriter.
	It's not a good thing.
	The book is A Strange Habit of Mine.
	I've got mine and it's not even out yet.
	Aren't you jelly?
	You should be.

	We're going to have with us Pastor John Amanchukwe, an amazing American.

	Stay on this channel. Stay on this channel.
	Stay on this channel.
	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?
	This is not grandma out walking her dog.
	Bad backgrounds, bad reputations.
	They are interested in one thing, that's money.
	This is organized crime.
	In no way, in no time, is that leakable.
	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.
	2,000 mules.

	Welcome dear friends to AmericaFest One on One.
	How often in your life, it doesn't happen frequently to me, do you meet someone?
	Do you hear someone?
	And you just connect, at a kind of visceral level, at a kind of genetic level.
	You say, that resonates.
	I like the cut of that man's jib.
	And then you say, Yeah, brother from another mother.
	That happened to me recently at an amazing event in New Jersey, a collection of four or five hundred American patriots.
	It was called Seat at the Table.
	And the man I'm talking about stood up on a panel concerned with the topic of courage and manhood, and I've invited him on America First.
	Pastor John Amachukwu, welcome to the Salem Network.
	Thank you for having me back on your show.
	It's a pleasure to be on.
	You've been on the show before but now we're going to go deep dive because I want to get to the bottom of everything that you are traveling the country preaching and especially so excited.
	You'd written a book.
	My buddies have picked it up at Regnery.
	It's called Erased.
	It's going to be out in a couple of weeks beginning of October, Uncovering the Lies of Critical Race Theory and Abortion.
	But let's start with The event where we met and let's talk about what the message you had for those collected there.
	I've had this radio show for three and a half years.
	A large chunk of that was COVID and under COVID I came to a sad realization as a man who chose this country, who sees it as the greatest nation on God's earth, wasn't blessed to be born here but am now an American citizen.
	That there's been a tragic loss of the most important virtue, and that was demonstrated by how we reacted as a nation to COVID.
	And it is the virtue that makes all the other virtues possible, and that is courage.
	Especially courage evinced by men.
	Men, the job of the male in Western civilization is to stand up for the innocent, to protect the vulnerable, and to fight for the truth.
	And I didn't see a lot of that under the two years of COVID, but your message is much bigger than that.
	So let's start with your message from that panel, from that speech in New Jersey.
	Let's talk about what you think is the status of courage amongst your fellow Americans, Pastor John.
	Well, you know, when you consider the fact that Marxism seeks to destroy the patriarchal system in the United States of America and in the world in particular, we must resist that.
	You know, so goes the father, so goes the family and the home.
	As relates to blacks in particular, you know, blacks have become the cheap prostitutes of the Democratic Party.
	They screw us and barely pay us, but they keep, but we keep coming back for more.
	And the general message that I'm pushing across this nation is that as a people, as a society, we must move away from these ideologies that seek to pit white versus black against each other.
	I believe that critical race theory is racism.
	And racism is not a color, it's a sin.
	The Bible says in Romans 3 and 23 that all have sinned and come short of the glory of God.
	When it talks about sin, there's talking about sin in general, all kinds of sin and the sin of racism in particular.
	There are many people who are woke who would tell you today, That America is a racist country.
	I don't believe that America is a racist nation.
	All right.
	It's not, I don't, I don't believe that.
	I believe that America is a sinful nation.
	It's not a racist nation, but it's a sinful nation.
	And the person that can deal with our sin problem is Jesus Christ.
	As you see throughout athletics in America, we see where men are now competing against women.
	And our men are standing back and allowing this to take place.
	As we watch the University of Penn swimmer jumping into a pool with a bunch of women and compete against them and win.
	And then get nominated as the Woman of the Year, I'm asking where are all the real men in America?
	You know, if they are trying to destroy the patriarchal system in this country and we're now having questions about what a woman is, it's time for men to stand up and to push back and to resist this godless ideology that has leaked into our culture.
	That is the key question.
	Where are the real men who would stop that man getting into the water with their daughters, who would make a human wall and say, no, you do not do that.
	You do not destroy the dreams of our daughters.
	All right, so much to discuss.
	Let me just zoom in on one sentence you said.
	You just threw it out there and then you moved on.
	You said, blacks in America have become the cheap prostitutes of the Democrat Party.
	Powerful, powerful words.
	I think it's undeniable, given what the Democrat Party has done to black America in the last 70 years.
	But I have to ask you, as a black American and traveling the nation, as you do, we're going to go on a speaking tour together, you and I. I need to know, how do people react when you say that, especially when you're doing that in a church, whether it's in North Carolina, where you are or elsewhere?
	How do people react to that incredibly hard language, but truthful language?
	Well, you know, people appreciate strength, you know, people appreciate courage, but many are afraid to stand up and to speak boldly.
	Oftentimes, many of our pastors today, they are more in the category of being a wimp rather than a watchman.
	But society wants to hear the truth about what's going on in the culture, especially from pastors.
	You know, pastors should have the boldness To stand up and say what is right and what is true, regardless of how people are going to respond.
	There are countless people who are sending me messages every day, and they're telling me, Pastor John, continue to speak boldly.
	We appreciate what you're saying.
	Thank you for speaking up and reminding the black community that they don't have to vote one way.
	There's this notion that blacks are born liberal, you know, and that's not true.
	This liberal ideology is convincing blacks that they are victims.
	I'm not a victim.
	I'm a black man in America, but I'm not a victim.
	This is the greatest nation.
	On the face of the planet, it's not a perfect nation.
	But you know, I'm married.
	I've been married for 14 years and my wife loves me and I'm not perfect.
	And if she can love a husband who's not perfect, I can love a nation that's not perfect as well.
	And this is the message that we want to send to our men and our women, especially our young boys.
	We don't want our young boys to have a chip on their shoulder and an animus towards whites in America because that's not productive.
	But what we want to do is to teach them that if you labor, if you toil, if you work with your hands, you can you can realize this American dream.
	So as an immigrant to this nation who has nothing to do with its prior race problems, my family comes from Poland and Hungary and Lithuania.
	So we never held slaves.
	We weren't plantation owners.
	Let me give you my perspective of somebody who moved here in 2008, for the prior 12 years had come here regularly every summer.
	I arrived to an America 14 years ago that seemed to have good race relations, that had gotten over it.
	Then Obama was elected.
	We had eight years of him.
	Then we had BLM and Antifa.
	And sadly to me, Pastor John, it looks as if race relations have radically deteriorated.
	If you agree with me, who's responsible?
	You are so right.
	There are people out there who are called woke race hustlers and their intent is to exploit every isolated case of racism or when something goes in a direction where it may be skewed in someone's who may be white's favor.
	You know, even with the death of George Floyd, there were countless people who sought to Make him an icon and to create racism through that.
	And I believe this, that racism is true, it does exist, but white supremacy is not the greatest thing that's fighting against the black community.
	Number one, we need to talk about fatherlessness.
	I don't want to talk about racism until we deal with and address the responsibility of black men in America.
	Fatherlessness is destroying the black community, and it's time for black men to remain in their place and to be responsible leaders, to be responsible men that take care of their family.
	And there are countless black men that do this.
	But oftentimes, the media does a good job of depicting the black man as a buffoon or Or it seems like Hollywood loves to put the black man in a dress and to make him effeminate and weak.
	But there are countless black men in this country who are stand-up citizens.
	But we're seeing a growing trend of black men falling into the category where they are not being responsible and doing what's necessarily important to up-build their community.
	Don't worry, Pastor John, they're doing that to white men as well in Hollywood.
	You can't be a white man and a powerful figure of, you know, leadership in the current woke environment.
	We have so much more to discuss.
	I'm making a long, long list.
	The book is erased.
	You've got to get it, you've got to pre-order it right now.

	But tell us your story, because you said from the beginning you don't see America as a racist country.
	You see it as the greatest country.
	You do see it as a sinful country, which of course it is, because why?
	Human beings live in the country and we are all fallen.
	And if you are a country of sinners, then the nation will be sinful as well.
	Will you tell us your personal journey and how you got to be Pastor John today and how you arrived at where you are?
	Yes, thank you so much.
	I was born on what we call the wrong side of the tracks.
	I wasn't born with a silver spoon in my mouth.
	My mother took care of four children, making no more than $28,000 a year.
	We lived in a shelter for nearly a year when we moved from Elizabeth City, North Carolina to Raleigh, North Carolina, and just to fast forward to today, you know, you can go from living in a shelter in America to now having your book on a shelf in Barnes and Nobles if you work and if you labor and if you are productive.
	As relates to me writing the book, Erased, during the summer of 2020, While liberal mayors and governors were telling people in their state to defund the police and to stand back all around the country, and they're allowing anarchists to burn down city after city, while being at one of the busiest abortion clinics in the Southeast, A black father walked up to me and he said, why are you out here fighting a white man's issue?
	And this day he was wearing a BLM shirt.
	He was out there to abort his child.
	But he tells me, why are you fighting a white man's issue?
	As if fighting against abortion is a white evangelical problem or issue alone.
	And what's amazing is that on that day, 70% of the people outside of the abortion clinic were white.
	But nearly 80-85% of the mothers in the clinic that day were black.
	But this father is going to overlook that and label me as a man who's out here fighting a white man's issue.
	Now, if I were to ask him what was the definition of critical race theory, he would probably tell me, I don't know.
	But he was a walking poster child for all things CRT, because in critical race theory, they see racism in every instant and act.
	And racism is supposedly everywhere.
	Even when a black man goes to an abortion clinic and aborts his own baby, if there's another black man out there trying to save babies of all colors and creeds, that man has to be racist.
	Can I just jump in there?
	Why are the women black?
	I mean, we've got to address this issue.
	Why is, as that amazing poster, that billboard in New York said a few years ago, the most dangerous place for a black child is in her mother's womb?
	How did we get there?
	Well, there was an effort, you know, consider this, from the early 1900s all the way up to the death of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., the black marriage rate rivaled that of white.
	Yes.
	Okay?
	And Lyndon B. Johnson came along with this new deal for a great society, which was a bad deal for black people.
	And he also said that he would have Negroes voting for the Democratic Party for the next 100 years.
	And so he brought in this social welfare and this government-is-God approach, and it caused the black father to leave the home, and we replaced the black dad with a $400 check.
	And then Margaret Sanger and through the Planned Parenthood, they brought in these abortion clinics into the black neighborhood.
	Nearly 80% of abortion areas are located in economically disadvantaged neighborhoods where brown and black people are.
	And so black women are targeted.
	They are told to abort their baby.
	They're given low-dose birth control so they can become a product of the system so that the black woman can bring $300 to $500 to an abortion clinic to abort their baby.
	At the local abortion clinic that I've served at for the past 10 years, nearly 70 to 75 percent of the moms who come every week are black.
	And I believe this.
	If black women and black men would stop going to that abortion clinic, that abortion clinic would close down overnight.
	We need a revival in this nation, but before we start talking about white supremacy and the white man is evil and we should hate the blue-eyed devil and all of that junk that comes from the left, we need to focus on improving our families.
	But what happened?
	I mean, where are the brave pastors?
	I look at my own church, the Catholic Church, and I'm very, very disappointed under the conditions of COVID and how they acquiesce to this day in some churches with masks and everything else.
	So where are the pastors?
	I mean, they're supposed to be the shepherds of the flock.
	What happened to these communities, Pastor John?
	Well, you know, as wokeism has spread throughout this nation, it has crept into much of the theological approaches that many pastors take to rendering the Word of God.
	Many of our pastors today are not preaching a true biblical message.
	They are preaching what we call syncretism.
	They are taking the Bible and mixing it with other ideologies.
	And turning it into a menu, right?
	Where they pick the stuff they like and ignore the stuff that's too difficult.
	That's it, right?
	So let's focus on racial reconciliation and white supremacy, but let's not talk about personal accountability and responsibility.
	So as we see that take place, it has cheapened even the sermons that you hear in many of your black churches, many of which are topical.
	I'm blessed to be at a church, and I've been here for the past 19 years, under a pastor who preaches with a biblical worldview.
	That means that he reads the scriptures, and he interacts, and he makes his decisions, and he crafts his sermons with a biblical worldview in mind.
	Just the mere fact that you have to express appreciation for a church leader who actually cleaves to the Bible is mind-blowing.
	We're talking to Pastor John Amachukwu.
	The book is erased.
	You've got to pre-order it right now.
	I'm Sebastian Gawker.
	This is America First, and I have a debt of gratitude to all of you who have supported our Help Ukraine campaign with Food for the Poor.

	All right, where should we go next?
	Let's have a look at my long, long list.
	Okay, so here's a political question for you, Pastor John.
	And I ask this again and again and again of all the great, great guests we have on this show who can talk to me about what's happening in the black community.
	It's clear, you use this, you know, gut punch phrase that black America have become the cheap prostitutes for the Democrats who get to screw them for very little money.
	Why do they keep voting for them?
	I mean things have shifted and we saw this for the 2020 election President Trump got more black and Hispanic votes than any Republican since the 1960s but in the meantime there seems to be this this locked-in dependency where oh it's a Democrat D after their name I'm black I'm gonna vote for them after the last 60 years can you tell me why?
	Well If I knew rightly the answer to that question, I might be a rich man, but I'll try to take a stab at it.
	Please.
	I think that the battery behind educating the black community on political issues historically has always been the church.
	And when the church gets in the bed with the liberal movement, then they will begin to preach liberal sermons.
	And so we have a populace of Christians in the black community who are only hearing one perspective.
	And if you only hear one perspective, you think that only one agenda is right and or beneficial for your community.
	I think that blacks need to make sure that we are in the category of being informed on our political choices.
	We need to go back to praying before we cast our vote.
	We need to read our Bible to make sure that we support policies that align with scriptures.
	We need to make sure we have a voter guide and know that we know the background behind many of these politicians that we support and we need to make sure that we get a copy of Erased as we prepare to cast our vote in the upcoming election.
	I believe we do that.
	And make sure that we don't pray one way and vote another.
	We will begin to shift the landscape in the black community and there will be a resurgence of blacks recognizing that the conservative movement is the party of Abraham Lincoln.
	It's the party of Rosa Parks, it's the party of Frederick Douglass, and it's the party of MLK.
	Are you seeing good things happening?
	Are you seeing any kind of positive shift?
	What's happening out there?
	Are people waking up?
	Are they self-emancipating themselves politically?
	Yes, they are.
	We saw through President Donald Trump that, you know, he received the most amount of black votes that any president has received in the past probably 20 years.
	And so, that really came across because he was pushing strong policies.
	Whether you agree with everything he said on Twitter or Facebook or not, his policies were right for America, and they benefited the black community.
	And blacks fared well under President Donald Trump.
	I think if we continue down that direction, we will see a great change in America.
	Very exciting times.
	The book is erased, order it right now, out October 4th from my publisher, Regnery, the best conservative book publisher in the world, uncovering the lies of critical race theory and abortion.
	Explain why critical race theory exists and why it's so dangerous, Pastor John.
	Well, it initially started as critical theory from the Frankfurt School of Germany.
	Men like Karl Marx and Gramsci, those men created critical theory, which is an offshoot of other woke ideologies, like the patriarchal system, queer theory, critical race theory, hegemonic power, and so on and so forth.
	And critical race theory is a floating mass.
	It's hard to pin it down because it's very elusive.
	It is in our public school system.
	You find it in your Fortune 500 companies through diversity, equity, and inclusion.
	You find it in grievance studies as well in many of our universities and colleges.
	And really what it seeks to do is to label whites as inherently racist.
	And I'll be the first to tell you that all people have a propensity to be racist.
	We have it in us because it comes from a sin nature.
	And so we just can't label one people group as racist.
	We have to identify and be honest about it and say that all people have it in them to be racist.
	And as a result of that analysis, you would say that perhaps this is the new way to divide us?
	If dividing us by class didn't work, then they're picking race instead?
	Yes, you're so right.
	And the church needs to reject all forms and factions of critical race theory.
	Critical race theory has no place in our churches.
	What we need is the racial reconciliation of the gospel.
	The quintessential framework of social justice is found in the Word of God, where the Bible says, love your neighbor as yourself.
	And if we do that well, we won't need woke ideologies to direct us on how we should love our brothers and sisters in Christ.
	It's all about the good book and understanding the principles it has handed down to us for thousands of years.
	Dear friends, don't forget we are on all social media excluding the fascistic YouTube, but everywhere else.
	True Social, Twitter, Instagram.
	Also, of course, we are on Rumble.

	Subscribe today and never miss any of our content.
	All right, let's get to the really big topic of the age, I believe, and this is, I think, why we're going to take the stage together in the next few months.
	Something's happening out there with young men in Western civilization, let's say in the English-speaking world.
	And all the evidence you need is the absolutely meteoric success of this previously quiet-spoken, relatively introverted psychology and psychiatry professor called Jordan Peterson.
	A man whose book, Twelve Rules for Life, has sold tens of millions of copies, who fills out theatres on his global speaking tour.
	And there has to be a reason why.
	This guy isn't a football player, he's not some kind of Tom Cruise, John Wayne movie star, but he has a message that is resonating about taking responsibility for yourself and also, I think let's be explicit, the assault on manhood and what it means to be a man.
	Explain to us why this is happening, and is it a good sign that so many young men are looking for answers, and what has to happen next?
	What is phase two?
	Right.
	Well, I'll give you a biblical answer for that.
	I'll start there.
	First Corinthians chapter 16 verses 13 and 14 says, Be watchful, stand firm in the faith, Uh, act like a man and let all you do be done with love.
	So the Bible is replete is clear.
	It tells us to act like men.
	What does that mean?
	Don't act like a woman.
	Be strong, be courageous.
	Men protect, men shepherd, men lead.
	But there is this desire within the culture for men to be reluctant of their responsibility.
	It was once said that manhood can be defined today by the ball field, the billfold, and the bedroom.
	The bedroom.
	You know, most men get together in the coach and they want to discuss how many women have you had?
	How many women have you slept with?
	Do you have a girlfriend?
	The kid is six years old and you want to know, does he have a girlfriend?
	We talk about the billfold.
	How much money do you make?
	How successful are you?
	How many nice fancy cars do you have?
	How many zeros or commas are in your bank account?
	You know, these are the things that oftentimes society focuses on, you know, but what we need to do is get back to the true essence of being a godly man.
	And God has given men a responsibility.
	The first man, Adam, was given the role of tilling the ground, of working and laboring.
	And today we see in this culture where men are becoming more and more lazy and they don't want to work.
	They want to sit at home and live off the government and or the system.
	But the Bible says, if a man doesn't work, neither shall he eat.
	And if a man can't take care of his relatives, then he's worse than an infidel.
	God rejects this ideology of weakness in men.
	And as we see this take place across our country, that's why it has become popular for even transgenderism to creep into the culture.
	For men to compete in women's sports, and we're seeing this across the board.
	And now more than ever, we need men to stand up and to define the true essence of being a man.
	In this age, Pastor John, where everything seems to be politicized from, you know, who races in a swim team in college to whether your child could go to school without a mask, I actually see one issue above all else.
	That is going to be, in a good sense, the trigger.
	And you just mentioned it, and I want us to drill down on this for a second.
	I think the extremism of the transgender movement, when we're talking about abusing children, removing their sexual organs, giving them hormone therapy as minors, I think...
	Everything else aside, this will be the catalytic issue for mothers, for fathers, who don't see themselves as political, don't see themselves as troublemakers, but who say, no, this is wrong.
	Do you think this is where the left perhaps has overstepped and miscalculated?
	Yes, this is what's coming down the pike, and not only will it be through transgenderism, but through pedophilia.
	We'll see a day in our nation where, you know, a man, you know, since love is love in our culture, you know, a man who is 58, he can love a child who's 10.
	And that's where we are.
	And I want people to not overreact to what you're saying.
	This is the justification that was given for homosexual marriage, which isn't marriage, by the way.
	Let me just be clear.
	Any conserved who says that man has a husband, you're wrong and you are perverting Millennia of objective truth and natural law.
	But back then, do you remember when they normalized gay marriage?
	They said, well, you should be allowed to love who you want, right, Pastor John?
	Right.
	That's right.
	They said that you should be able to love who you want to love and what you do in your bedroom should be your business.
	But watch this.
	It moved from what took place in the bedroom to now men wanting to commandeer our restrooms.
	And in the state of North Carolina, we had a bill called HB2, where we saw transgenders.
	A man could wake up in the morning and know that his name is Thomas, but he says, you know, I'm Thomasina today.
	And he can go into whatever restroom he wants right beside our wives and our daughters, and we are supposed to accept that?
	And we have politicians who sign on to that?
	And there is no political party in this nation that is pushing that God-awful agenda like the Democratic Party.
	Transgenderism... Go ahead, go ahead, go ahead.
	Those who are transgender, they represent what you call the two-spirit community.
	If he's born a man, he has the spirit of a man in him, and through some psychological problem, he sees himself also as a woman.
	So there's two spirits fighting and wrestling in the heart of this man.
	There's a gentleman by the name of Walt Heyer who released a book, and he came to our church, and we put him up and allowed him to talk to our congregation.
	And Walt Heyer, you know, born a male, he went through the entire process where he cut off all of his genitals, only to 10 years later, you know, the dominant spirit that God placed in him, you know, because doctors do not assign gender.
	God does.
	You know, doctors have eyes.
	They look and they see, wow, that looks like a scrotum.
	And they say, yeah, that's a man.
	So what Walt hire came to the realizations, you know, he cut off his private parts, but he wants to now go back to who he once was or what God had created him to be.
	And it's too late.
	We need to label parents who are pumping children with these hormones and cutting off their, uh, their, their body parts.
	We need to label that as child abuse.
	And that's what it is.
	Yeah, and these individuals should be arrested and the fact that an erstwhile alleged putative conservative network like Fox News a month ago actually showed repeatedly a package about parents who did this to their child is an absolute utter disgrace and tells you how real this culture war is even on our side.
	The book is erased.
	We're talking to Pastor John Amanchukwu.
	You can follow him on Twitter at RevWuTruth.
	And also at johnamanchukwu.com.
	He is the founder of The Erased Project.
	Okay, last big question for you.
	I could talk about this for hours, but we will as we go on our tour after your book is launched.
	Pastor John, what is your message to those who either young men in their teens or their 20s who feel as if they've been under assault, feel as if It's difficult for them to find meaning in their lives.
	What do you say to that generation of men?
	And then what do you say to our generation?
	People who are established, who are men, and don't know what their role is in taking back our civilization and fighting for the truth.
	I'm a radio show host, you're a pastor, but everybody who is a man has to be engaged.
	So what do you say to those two different demographics?
	Well, you know, men are looking for purpose.
	They're looking for their calling, which further gives them their identity.
	When you talk to a man, the first thing that comes up is, what do you do?
	And first and foremost, we are created in the image of God and we are set forth to reverence and to glorify God.
	The reality is you can be a successful business owner.
	You can work on Wall Street.
	You can make hit films in Hollywood.
	You can be an athlete and make over 100 millions of dollars a year.
	But if you are empty, if your soul is empty, if you don't know Jesus Christ as your personal Savior, you're going to feel empty in life because life is but a vapor.
	Life is short.
	The focal part of our life is the life beyond this moment.
	You know, society says, YOLO, you only live once.
	So therefore, do what you want to do with your time.
	You know, go and sell your wild oats.
	Go and run the streets.
	Have as many women as possible.
	Drink all of the scotch that you desire.
	Get drunk.
	Go home and do what you want, right?
	That's what society says.
	But we should drop the L from YOLO and replace it with a D because you only die once.
	We are all living to live again.
	And there's a bigger meaning and purpose behind life beyond how much money we have in our bank account Beyond our build fold, beyond our the bedroom, and beyond the ball field.
	Um, that was absolutely pitch perfect.
	As if he knew what I was going to ask him.
	It's not YOLO, it's YODO.
	And you only die once and you are living to be reborn.
	So get it right, guys.
	Understand that meaning comes from having a soul that is full, not a soul that is empty.
	Well, I can't wait for the book to be out.
	I can't wait to go on tour with you.
