The End
I can't see my colleagues in the other room.
I don't know if Mr. G is here for the opening of our national radio show.
Are you there?
Are you waving from behind your computer screen, Mr. G?
I'm always here.
Ooh.
He is, though, because when he's in his office across the other side of the building, he's always listening to the show, because I'll say I don't know something, and I'll get this text, because he'll have the speaker on in his room, and he's always monitoring.
I think he listens in his sleep.
He goes to the...
the website where you can listen 24 hours a day and he just listens to the show again and again and it's creepy but he's the best producer in radio so um what should we talk about today mr g what what should we discuss the fact that one of our team members is considering voting for president biden someone has flipped he's very impressed with what's happened the last 60 days because passing bills and spending money that doesn't exist is very impressive right eric
If I may be allowed to make my case here, before the listeners of America First.
Before they come and string you up with a rainbow-colored ribbon, yes, go ahead.
I'll take inspiration from a comment I saw in an article on American Greatness the other day that said, I'd rather be whipped with barbed wire than vote for a Democrat.
That being said...
If I can be a canary in the coal mine here, I hate admitting this, but Biden has been getting a lot done that he said he would be getting done.
Like what?
The gun control bill, the infrastructure bill, the student loan debt.
We don't like it.
We obviously don't like that.
But his base, especially the hardcore Bernie bros who thought he was going to be a moderate, are very pleased with that stuff.
And if Republicans don't have any response to that... But that's like saying when fascists get fascist stuff done, that's a big deal.
It lets the fascist supporters know that the fascists are going to... Put up that thing I didn't use yesterday.
Put up a photograph of the coal miners.
Do you remember that, Eric?
That meme that a buddy of mine from my cigar team sent me?
So this is a wonderful image.
This is a trolley, a transport vehicle at some pit somewhere.
in America with filthy coal miners who've been underground all day.
And it says, me and the boys on the way to the coal mine to pay off someone's gender studies major.
Now, yes, that is what they achieved illegally by using 9-11 legislation for military heroes and their college fees.
You can say that chalk one up.
But Eric, does that really mean they're winning when it comes to an election?
I like to think maybe it could, because first off, as I said before the show started, one of the unwritten rules of modern politics today...
is never underestimate the GOP's ability to screw up a winnable election.
But that's not what you started off saying.
You said he is achieving what he set out to achieve.
You're putting the emphasis of success on Biden.
You're not saying the GOP are facile, feckless idiots, which we know.
So you got it.
Look, you're on Team America first.
We hired you for a reason.
You're a smart guy, but I need to know.
Are you really going to vote for Joe Biden?
Oh, of course not.
I'll vote for Trump again when he runs.
Let's talk about President Trump running.
Mr. G, are you satisfied with that answer?
A little bit, but I just want to say this real quick, though.
It's not really what Biden was saying, though.
When he was running, he wasn't running on $10,000.
He was going to cancel all student loans.
Yes!
And the gun control bill, he was going to ban all assault weapons.
Bingo.
Remember that?
Yes!
He's giving the Democrats their base a little watered-down version just to try to save face.
That's so important.
They're not... This isn't, you know, Obamacare.
This is the little stuff he can throw at you and say, oh look, I did something.
Well, guess what?
I've still got my assault rifles.
Come and get them.
Just you try coming to get them with 31 million new gun owners in the last two years in America.
Okay.
Let's talk about the man that Eric is going to vote for, my former boss.
He had a lawyer.
What's his name?
Cohen, right?
Who is now a felon.
He can't have an assault rifle because he's got a criminal record because he went to prison.
And he was on some no-name radio show podcast.
And it's just, I want to start the show off with some humor because it is truly, truly Delightful.
It's hilarious.
This is what he says about President Donald Trump.
I do not believe Trump is going to run.
First of all, he knows that he can't win the general election, statistically, and his fragile ego will not allow him to be a two-time loser.
There are going to be plenty of people that are going to challenge him, and rightfully so, which again, he does not want to go up against.
Like, for example, Liz Cheney.
She already stated, if he's running, I'm running too.
Where to begin?
Just so much fun.
He can't statistically win.
Hey, Mr. G, how many votes did President Trump get in 2020?
73 million, was it?
Yeah, 73, 74.
And which incumbent president got more votes than that since 1776?
Nobody.
Yeah, none!
None, Michael Cohen.
President Trump can't statistically win because he got the most votes of any incumbent president in US history, and he's too egotistical to have other people run against him.
Mr. G again, how many people ran for president on the GOP ticket in 2015?
There was...
What was it, like 17?
16 others.
16, is that what it is?
Yeah.
Right, so 17 total, right, Eric?
That is correct.
Right, Mr. G. Who became president?
Trump.
So what does that mean?
He beat 16 other people, right?
Yeah, but Liz Cheney wasn't as effective.
Oh my gosh!
How did I miss that?
Of course, Liz Cheney.
Because President Trump's afraid of Liz Cheney, right, Jeff?
I think that would, if he was teetering on running or not, her saying that she's gonna run, if he runs, that would push him over the edge to run.
Are you just waiting for that to happen, to have them on the same stage?
I can't wait for it.
Please, just pick a charity.
Pick Food for the Poor, pick Homeless Veterans, Folded Flags of Honor, and make it a pay-per-view event.
What do you think?
Eric, pay-per-view event.
Liz Cheney.
And Donald Trump.
Before everybody else.
I don't care, because primaries are great.
Let's have 48 people run for the GOP.
But before, we should have just a cage match between Liz and DJT.
What do you think?
As long as Dick Cheney isn't there to provide her some firearm support, I think we'll be good.
Well, he'll probably shoot her instead, given his marksmanship credentials from prior hunting engagements, don't you think?
That's a likely possibility, yes.
Oh my gosh, too much fun.
All right, good news, good news.
Let's start the show with the news that we shared with you yesterday.
Supervisory Special Agent Timothy T. Bolt has not just been escorted out of the FBI building in Washington, D.C., he has resigned, which is very strange that he willingly resigned.
Why did it happen?
Well, because this individual Shut down the Hunter Biden investigation of his laptops and, because there were more than one laptop, according to a whistleblower that has testified behind closed doors to Jim Jordan of the House Judiciary Committee,
He was the individual in the Bureau who padded the numbers of domestic domestic violent extremism cases to make the MAGA threat seem bigger than the Jihadist, the Antifa or the BLM threat.
Likewise, Senator Grassley received extensive information That T-Bold had expressed political bias on social media posts and interfered in politically sensitive FBI investigations, including into Hunter Biden's overseas business dealings.
Do you think this is the beginning?
Is it enough?
What needs to happen next?
Do you trust the FBI?
Call us.

Hey, Emily, welcome back.
Hey, thanks for having me, sir.
It's been a while.
Don't call me sir.
I'm not your grandfather.
I'm wearing a very, very youthifying light-colored suit today, so you're making me feel doubly insulted by calling me sir.
How's things?
Everything's great.
Federalist is just a well-oiled machine as usual.
Good.
How's your summer going?
Good, good, good.
I just got out of surgery last week and I'm feeling relatively normal.
Relatively normal.
But I heard Sean has lost his voice because he was supposed to be on the show yesterday.
Oh my gosh, I didn't even know that because we're all remote.
Right, he was supposed to be on the show for an hour and then he said, I've lost my voice!
All right.
We'll talk about TikTok first.
Okay.
What else are you working on?
That's it.
I mean, tech in general, I've been doing a lot on, but TikTok for sure.
But you're still the culture, right?
Yes.
Yep.
Still there.
The VMAs were last night.
That was a mess.
Yeah.
I don't know if we're going to talk about that.
They were.
Nobody watched though.
All right.
Standby.
30 seconds.
I might use the Sky News one.
That's so funny.
Thank you.
Eight-year-old Demetrius told us how he hopes to still be adopted.
What do you want the world to know about Ukraine?
He told me he wants the war to stop.
Anything you want to say to anybody, friends back in that other region?
Demetrius' answer shook me because it's the reality of this war.
I want them to stay alive and not to die.
I want them to stay alive and not to die.
That's from a child in the war zone that is Ukraine to this day.
Six months after Russia invaded.
Millions have been bombed out of their homes.
The men have gone to fight to the front lines.
The women and the children have been displaced.
We are helping them with the amazing Food for the Poor network and local pastors who have already shipped 12 million meals into the war zone.
Please make a difference today.
Even a one-time donation of just $50 is a godsend, is 200 meals.

Delighted to welcome back on the show.
It's been far too long since she was last here.
She has the culture beat at one of our favorite organizations in the real media universe, and that is The Federalist, and she's Emily Yashinsky.
Emily, welcome back to America First!
Thanks so much for having me, Seb.
Just don't call me sir like you did in the break, because then I'm going to terminate this interview very, very rapidly.
Sorry, I learned that lesson the hard way.
Okay, good.
Let's have some fun.
Let's talk about why there seems to be such a paucity of real American media.
This popped up on my social media feed yesterday, and it's from Australia, and my producer, Mr. G, when I sent it to him, he said, how come I've never seen a montage like this on Fox News?
This is Sky News Australia, cut ten, play cut.
This week the world got a frightening insight into what happens when you unleash the President without notes, an autocue, or someone screaming instructions in his ear.
You get this nonsensical word salad.
Tell me how you do that.
I understand it's clear in his face you're accurate, but how and making the case of the freedom men have, what do you do other than to sort of embarrass men into getting into the argument and voting the right way on this issue?
OK.
We also saw President Joe Biden deliver this rousing and totally coherent message to rally the troops for the midterms.
If we elect two more senators, we keep the House of Democrats, We're going to get a lot of unfinished business.
We're going to get done. - Yeah.
Just in case you missed that, he said if we elect two more Senators, we keep the House and Democrats, we're gonna get a lot of unfinished business, we're gonna get done, okay?
Why do we have to wait for Australians to give us great little packages like that, Emily?
Yeah, and they spare no mercy.
I mean, it's unbelievable.
And that's what journalists exist to do, to hold powerful people to account.
And so it is rather sad that our own media, which could fill up primetime every single day, basically, on a daily basis with the nonsensical things that Joe Biden has said, And they probably should, by the way, because he's the leader of the free world.
He's the leader of our country.
At the very least, you'd think this would matter to voters, but we see very, very little of it.
And another thing I would say that's so interesting is if you think back to the Bush era, and then you think, of course, when everyone was talking about Donald Trump's mental fitness for office, George W. Bush would have a Bushism, right?
And it would be kind of funny, but the media would harp on it and create this image of him as some sort of Idiot.
They do this with Republican presidents, going back to Ronald Reagan.
And with Donald Trump, he would slip one word.
One word would be a slip-up, and we would have cable news segments on it.
Joe Biden, it happens every single day, and in some very important, crucial contexts.
Diplomacy, for instance, and you hear almost nothing about it.
No, you don't, really.
So let's stop here for a second.
I want to talk about this amazing war, this one-person war you've declared against TikTok.
But we have time to discuss that.
But do you think that any of this is going to change?
I mean, Brian Stelter is now flipping burgers somewhere.
Cuomo has declared himself a free agent on social media, despite the fact that nobody actually wants to hire him.
Have you seen any trend, any signals, since you have the culture beat of the Federalists, that media culture is waking up?
Or is it just the most woke of the woke are losing, but the institutions like CNN are still going to go down with the ship?
The business model here is really an interesting aspect of that conversation, because on the surface you do see some moves, like at CNN, the new guy there, Chris Licht, who took over for Jeff Zucker, wants to make CNN this sort of global, neutral brand again that's doing serious, hard-hitting foreign reporting.
That's why Stelter's out the window, that's why Licht He doesn't do Twitter, doesn't really believe in Twitter for journalists, and is trying to make all of these moves to rein in the coverage, to tell his anchors to stop using the big lie, but it's not working.
And the dynamic is so interesting because I think there are some older, more sober voices who live through the old media period and have seen the transition and are horrified by it, but it's kind of too late because they've let it in the door.
And they've let it in the door at a time when our media ecosystem is totally splintering.
So the old guard is less powerful than it ever has been, and people can cluster in these niches.
The wine moms can watch Don Lemon and lap it up and Stephen Colbert.
But, you know, you used to have Johnny Carson's writers sitting in Manhattan every night thinking, what is going to make America laugh?
And that's why he was number one and he was the king.
Now you have Stephen Colbert's writers saying, what is going to make resistance boomers laugh every single day?
And that's a huge problem, I think, for the health of our culture.
But, OK, let's stay on that for a second.
How much of a problem is it?
Because the audiences are going to dwindle, dwindle, dwindle.
And unless you've got a sugar daddy like Bezos at the Washington Post who can keep you alive as a vanity project, at the end of the day, you have to make money.
And CNN with 400,000 viewers, I mean, this radio show has multiples of that.
Three million every single day without the video content.
At the end of the day, they need to make money, don't they, Emily?
They absolutely do.
And CNN's website is, it's kind of frustrating to me sometimes because CNN's shows are so poorly rated.
Absolutely nobody watches them.
It's very, it's not very powerful as a television network, but then they repurpose that content on their website, which is one of the most popular websites in the world.
And one thing I think in general is just these places are looking for new revenue streams.
And in some cases, like the New York Times and the Washington Post, They've been successful at finding it, and they're able to sustain some level of power, and that's why the New York Times pulled that op-ed by Tom Cotton in 2020, that they gave the headline, send in the troops, about using the National Guard to quell violent rioters.
It's because they now have this robust subscriber base that is like the NPR tote bag urban crowd, and that's their response to them, not the whole country.
Yeah, you can have op-ed pieces by Muslim Brotherhood boosters like Khashoggi, but you can't have an elected senator say something quite reasonable on your op-ed page because then the page editor has to get fired.
We're talking to Emily Yashinsky.
She is the culture editor for The Federalists.
Follow them at F-D-R-L-S-T.
They hate vowels for some reason at The Federalists.
Follow her at Emily Yashinsky on Twitter.
We'll be back to talk about her war with TikTok.
This is America First.
This is America First.
Okay, everybody stay on the line.
Don't go anywhere.
Alex, Jeb, Mike, Jim and Randy, okay?
We will get to your calls.
One more segment with Emily and then we're gonna take your calls.
Yes, the mics are live.
Did you go on Megyn Kelly's show or did you just retweet it?
Yeah, yeah, I go on usually about once a month with Megyn.
Can you text me, have you got my cell?
I think I do, yep.
Can you text me her booker or her producer's email because we need to get her back on the show.
Yeah, absolutely I can.
Thanks.
No problem.
No, that's such an interesting point you make, that we can make fun of Stelter and their crap ratings, but if they're monetizing through clicks on their webpage, then they could last forever, right?
Yeah, they really can.
I don't know why they're still a top news website.
It kind of baffles me.
They're really good at keeping an online audience for some reason, but they use a lot of the TV content on the website, which is kind of interesting.
And it's just as biased, right?
Oh, it's so bad.
I mean, it was like Stelter's newsletter would post on the website and presumably do really well.
I think his newsletter probably was bigger for them than the TV show was.
Wow.
I don't get the whole newsletter thing.
I mean, I love podcasts and I watch, you know, my favorite podcasters on YouTube, but I don't, I mean, I'm old school.
I mean, I have stuff printed out, like your article I'll have printed out for the thing, but the idea that I'm going to read somebody's newsletter every day or every week, I just, I don't get that.
I mean, isn't that just a boomer thing?
I don't know.
I feel like with Substack, there are a bunch of, even like kids in college, that do newsletters because it's replaced the newspaper for kids who just, you know, there's always going to be some subsection of kids that like news and are interested in journalism, and they're really on Substack, interestingly enough.
But maybe it's because they never had print newspapers, so it's all they know.
But Vice, maybe I'm just a visual and auditory person, but for me, and you know, I'm going to start a Substack as well just because everybody's doing it, but the thing is, Between a choice, especially if you're a multitasker, of having to sit down and read something or listening to it while you're doing something else, I listen to it, you know, nine times out of ten.
What about you?
No, I'm with you too.
I watch it.
Yeah.
I think it's a better way to consume.
Who are your favorite podcasters apart from me?
Let's see.
I really like Red Scare.
Have you heard of Red Scare?
No, Red Stare?
Red Scare.
These two, you know, Eastern European girls who live in Manhattan used to be Bernie supporters but are now kind of conservative.
Have you heard of them, Eric?
I have not, no.
I have.
Who has?
That was Alex.
Alex!
The quiet ones.
You've got to watch the quiet ones.
He doesn't say anything and then suddenly he'll just, you know, he'll surprise you.
All right, give me one more.
Yes.
Yes.
Give me one more podcast.
I like the realignment that my friend Sagar and Jetty does.
Oh, he's a smart bastard.
I like him.
30 seconds.
Yeah, he's great.
Will you come in with a tote bag liner?
Do you know which one that is?
This NPR No Tote, because she mentioned tote bags.
Oh, don't worry.
Don't worry.
She can't find it.
Don't worry.
I mentioned it too late.
Dr.
G is in the house on America First.
Welcome back, dear friends.
Welcome back.

No free tote bags paid for, actually, by you.

We are back with the Culture Beat portfolio holder.
I like that.
At TheFederalist.com.
She's Emily Yashinsky.
I'm gonna have to challenge her now.
I'm watching a clip of hers on her Twitter feed where you have glasses on.
Is this fake news?
Is this what you do on television?
Do you put on those fake Charlie Chaplin glasses?
Because you're not wearing them right now, are you Emily?
No, I need them to read a teleprompter.
So anytime I have to read a tele... I'm nearsighted.
So anytime I have to read a prompter... Busted!
Alright, so she's reading a teleprompter.
Now we know.
These are the hard questions.
These are the hard, penetrating questions we ask here on America First.
Alright, let's talk about the reason we actually got you on the show.
It's this piece you did for The Federalist.
Your single-woman war you are waging against TikTok, which is absolutely superb.
Why is this such a problem?
And tell our listeners across the nation, what is TikTok's elections centre, Emily?
It's unbelievable how under the radar the election center is flying right now, because TikTok, a lot of people know, is owned by a very powerful, very big Chinese company named ByteDance, which also owns and operates the Chinese version of TikTok.
Well, they've been trying really hard to prove to American consumers that our data is going through Oracle.
They've partnered with Oracle to route all American data into the cloud, And make sure that Oracle audits the algorithms so that this app, which is basically the most popular app in the country that an average teenager spends hours a day on, is being controlled by the Chinese Communist Party.
But of course, by Chinese law, any time the Chinese Communist Party would come to ByteDance and ask for the data, they would have to give up access to it.
There are a number of people, a new Forbes report showed there are Plenty of people that work at ByteDance on TikTok, they have TikTok in their portfolio, who are currently or formerly have worked for state media in China.
Our own Justice Department found that there were some 130 members of the Chinese Communist Party working for ByteDance in 2020.
And so this massively powerful network that our teenagers are spending hours of time on, It could well be tweaked by the players of the long game in the CCP to get us very addicted, because it's a very addictive product, to divisive content, to pro-trans content, to BLM content, and now they've created an election center that nobody's talking about!
But it's basically a data suck for the CCP.
If you say you're interested in registering to vote, and you put in that you're interested in voting in Arizona, they send you to another website.
But now they know, and they could be tweaking in real time, say they really don't want Blake Masters to win.
They could be tweaking the algorithm to... Hang on, let me translate this for people who are A little bit older who don't use TikTok.
So the most popular social media app, which is Chinese, and there is no private Chinese company, especially not of the scale as TikTok.
So this is a state venture of Communist China.
They have an election center that is directing traffic from their millions and millions and millions of users to sites they choose in an election year.
Did I understand you correctly, Emily?
Right.
They're partnering with American institutions like Ballotpedia, like the National Association of Secretaries of State, which is really shameful, and people should be embarrassed to be partnering with TikTok.
But if people say they go to TikTok's election center, they say they're from Arizona and they're interested in voting, they will send them to Ballotpedia or whatever.
But now TikTok has that information and knows this voter Um, and this likely voter in Arizona who consumes all of this conservative content, maybe we push them really anti-Masters content or really anti- or pro-Mark Kelly content, and we would honestly have absolutely no idea that that's happening until it's too late, um, if at all.
And it's one of the craziest things happening in our politics right now that absolutely nobody is talking about, and I can't wrap my head around it.
Right, the article, we're going to post it right now on all of our social media feeds from Emily, is TikTok's elections center is a massive threat to national security.
We've got only a couple of seconds left.
What has to happen in America with regards to TikTok if the good guys have the House, the Senate and the White House?
There's no question we need to bring back Donald Trump's TikTok ban.
Full stop.
Nothing else is good enough.
See?
That's why we like Emily.
She's got the answers.
Follow her, read her stuff at The Federalist.
Glasses or no glasses, we like this lady.
She's got the culture beat, the tech beat.
We love the website.

That's when we last spoke.
Very... I've been traveling crazy.
Very interesting.
I just bought a place in Naples, too, so it's been a little crazy.
Wow.
Busy, busy, busy.
Oh, I've never let dust collect around my feet.
Good for you.
So, Vietnam was interesting.
You don't realize how grateful you are to live in America.
Until you go to Vietnam.
And they're like, oh, look over here!
Five-star resort.
It's beautiful!
Look over here.
Don't look that way.
Because over there is a piece of metal leaned up against a tree, and six people live underneath it.
And they're thrilled to have a plastic chair and a bowl of rice.
Bingo.
Yeah.
It's really sad.
It really, truly is.
And the nicest people, we were leaving tips in the hotel with US cash.
And they were just like, thank you, thank you, thank you.
Listen, five bucks is nothing.
Happy to leave, you know?
All right.
Let's call her back because it's fading in and out.
We're just going to redial you.
Standby.
All right.
While we're waiting, a title for Yashinsky?
President Trump Needs to Ban TikTok.
All righty.
OK.
90 seconds.
I'm back.
All right.
Just give us a whole sentence.
Me?
Oh, I'm happy to be an American.
Proud to be an American.
Good.
Very happy.
All right.
Do we have the video up or just the sound?
It says video not enabled.
It says video not enabled.
Oh, yeah.
Can you switch on the video?
On you?
Your end or my end?
Your end.
Your end.
Yeah.
It's on.
One minute.
It says not available.
That's very strange.
Hold on.
I'll shut it off and turn it back on.
I had this problem before.
Today has been a strange day.
And you can't see it at all?
45 seconds.
Nope.
Do you want us to just call you back again?
Yeah, dial it back.
Call me back.
Okay, call me back.
40 seconds. - Okay, good. good.
Perfect.
Stand by.
I know Sebastian well.
Listen to him.
He's with us.
Thank you, Mr. President.
Very kind, very kind.
Have you seen, have I shocked you?
I've done an Obama today.
I'm wearing a light suit.
It is not the end of the world because it is not yet Labor Day.
Check your protocols for mail wear.
I have picked up a brand new suit.
Why?
I picked it up yesterday because I've lost 40 pounds!
Check it out here.
This is the photograph my wife took this morning of me.
I'm so grateful to Dr. Ashley Lucas and the amazing team at PHT Weight Loss and Nutrition.
You can do it too.
First diet in 20 years.
It's worked for me.
And let's connect it to our next guest.
There's also a photograph of me sitting on my 66 Mustang of which I am very, very proud.
Please call, make your first appointment, 864-644-1900.
If I can do it, you can do it too.
That's myphdweightloss.com, 864-644-1900.
I have mentioned the magic word Mustang, which means we must be talking to the official car coach.
Yes, indeed, Lauren Fix.
Welcome back to America First.
Well, thanks for having me.
Yes, I'm a huge Mustang enthusiast.
We named our daughter Shelby, so we have an issue.
That is pretty serious, if you ask me.
Okay, we have to talk about the latest article you sent me, the truth about oil, the truth about the car industry.
But first, here's a very apropos clip from a man who was famous, or became famous, for making electric vehicles.
This is Elon Musk on why we need petroleum.
We must have a clear path to a sustainable energy future.
That's one of the things that I think everyone would agree with.
Now, I actually am not someone who would tend to sort of demonize oil and gas, to be clear.
This is necessary right now or civilization could not function.
So I do think we actually need, and actually at this time, I think we actually need more oil and gas, not less.
Did you hear that?
We need more oil and gas because that's what civilization requires, Lauren!
Amazing!
Someone speaking common sense.
You know, it's so funny.
I've never been the biggest Elon Musk fan, but lately he's making a lot of sense and seeing a lot of intelligent things.
He even said that we need to have more children, which I was also quite surprised to hear.
All right, so tell us about how they're lying to us about cars and about gasoline, about oil.
This is your latest piece at the Car Coach Report, so tell us what they're lying about.
Oh, well, there's so much.
I even did another segment that will be airing this Friday.
But, you know, they keep saying that really the truth is we don't have enough oil.
It's not true.
I've spent quite a bit of time talking to a lot of people in the oil and gas business, people that work on the rigs, people that do research, and none of them wanted to release their names.
And I don't blame them, to be honest.
I wouldn't either.
But the fact is that they said we have over 400 years of oil of what we know right now.
And the government's putting all of these penalties on the oil and gas industry.
And now that we passed the, they call it the Inflation Reduction Act, which is kind of a joke because it's the Inflation Increase Act.
We're going to be watching them Put a fine on the oil and gas industry.
And while we all think, oh, oil and gas is no big deal, we can use electric cars.
Just think of this.
I can predict the future.
I'll read my crystal ball for you.
We're going to start transitioning to electric cars because California is making their statement and 11 dumb states are going to follow.
But what's interesting is the oil and gas companies are not going to stop.
Bring it up from the ground.
They're going to switch what we're using it for oil and gas for cars.
They're going to put into plastic to make these cool looking cars.
You can put into pharmaceuticals, into literally everything you touch gas, plastic, your phone, clothing, every single thing you touch, including So when we decide, oh yeah, this electric thing wasn't good, sort of like asbestos and lead paint.
Oops, big mistake.
We need to go back to it.
We've already allocated it for the next X amount of months or years to plastics and other things.
And so we're going to put ourselves behind the eight ball again.
We need better leadership.
We need someone that has a clue and you need to talk to people on the ground because The average person cannot afford an electric car, and even the state of California only has 18% of its population with electric vehicles, and across the U.S.
only 6.3%.
But that's okay.
Let's ban gasoline-powered cars.
Let's take them away from everyone and get the World Economic Forum in here, and we don't need cars at all, because that's their plan, and you know that's coming down the road right behind it.
Fascinating.
400 years worth of oil and gas, but California wants to ban those Mustangs right now.
Follow this lady.
She writes The Car Report.
That's CarCoachReports.com.
And she's LaurenFix on Twitter.
Keep doing what you do.
God bless.
I'm Sebastian Gawker.
This is America First.
Your calls.
Let's take a call.
Let's go to Alex Brooklyn, line one.
Hey, thanks, Sebastian, for taking the call.
Actually, you said you have 3 million listeners.
I never realized that.
Yeah, we have 300 stations from California to New York, 3 million plus listeners, and then plus all the video and the 4 million followers we have on social media.
But what's your question?
What's your comment?
Wow, you're certainly deserving of that, but I just didn't know you have so many stations.
I'm saying you're on the radio for, like, only three years, right?
But the comment is that I think Could be this idea of rating President Trump's Mar-a-Lago estate, which is so extreme, and it's something Democrats have to use so that the news shouldn't be focused on the Biden crises, came from Hillary Clinton, because if she wants to run in 2024, the email scandal and accusations against her about that is going to come out again against her.
And so then she could say, look at President Trump.
He had classified documents in his Mar-a-Lago estate, and that's why I had to come and rate his estate.
And so that way she can somewhat level the playing field in some way, shape or form to make it look better for her.
Well, it doesn't work.
I mean, that's the trouble.
I mean, if she raised it in a debate, then it would be used against her.
It wouldn't make her look better, Alex, because she actually had top secret information on an unsecured server that was private and she wasn't the president.
The Secretary of State cannot declassify information like a president can.
So the idea that the Presidential Records Act or the Commander-in-Chief Statute that allows him to declassify anything Apply to a Secretary of State is just fallacious.
So I like the way you think but at the end of the day it would be used against her because she wasn't the President and she was found to have top secret information that she had not declassified like President Trump had because she couldn't declassify that information.
Interesting thoughts.

The guy that emailed us.
Who are they from?
What's that fact?
NewsGuard.
I've got to talk about the putzes at NewsGuard because I had a little fun with them this morning.
That'll be in the second hour.
But first, let's go to your calls.
Cole, Los Angeles, line one.
Welcome, Cole.
Hi, Sebastian.
Thank you for taking my call.
I voted for Donald Trump two times.
I really like Donald Trump.
I really like you.
I like your show.
Unfortunately, I can't agree to him running again because of all the controversy going on.
And there's so many crazy people, and irrational people, and whatever kind of people living in our country now, they can't think rationally, we don't have time for another mess.
You know, so if somebody else runs like Romney, they'll treat him better.
Is that what you're saying?
I do believe that the Senate has a clearer shot.
Why?
This is a really good man.
So the guy they call a Nazi but in Florida, he's going to get less abuse from the mainstream media and the crazies.
What planet do you live on?
Oh, come on.
That's not fair.
Come on.
No, seriously.
No, it's completely fair.
When they accused Romney, Romney, of abusing his dog, they think, you think DeSantis is going to get a break?
You're living on another planet.
You're not living on Earth, Cole.
Thank you.
Goodbye.
Let's go to John, California, line two.
Hi, Sebastian, thank you for taking my call.
I'm sure you're familiar with the saying, if you owe the bank $1,000, shame on you, but if you owe the bank a billion dollars, shame on the bank?
Yes.
Well, we owe China, supposedly, because of their Treasury holdings, a little under a trillion dollars.
That ends up actually being our biggest strategic weapon to stop them from doing things.
If we threaten them one way or another to not repay those, and those treasuries are actually specifically assigned, so we know who holds them.
But that's the bet for our next administration, the next Republican administration.
That would probably be the biggest piece of weaponry we would have, quote-unquote weaponry, to stop China from doing from what they're doing in general.
It's one of the weapons, the loans that they have in their holdings, but the other is what President Trump did with trade relations.
So if you make it that US companies can't freely exploit the suppressed Chinese currency by manufacturing there, if you make it that we're not going to trade willy-nilly with a A nation that has slave labor camps and forced organ donation.
Yeah, it's one of many, many weapons that we need to have used by the next Trump administration.
I'm Sebastian Gorka.
next Lord Black music plays

Some of them look pretty prosperous.
Divine providence was clearly operating in the lives of black Americans.
Throughout history, black folks were honorable.
They had integrity.
That's what black people were.
We were never taught that America was bad and that we were not Americans.
We were raised to love America.
Protesters topple a statue of Christopher Columbus.
Hundreds of statues have been vandalized.
You see people trying to rewrite history.
The American people know these names have to go.
Why is that?
Whenever you have something to be proud of, People have less of a chance of controlling you.
This country is racist from top to bottom, from right to left.
And for black people to become a part of that is for them to become, in fact, anti-black and to hate themselves.
There is no country in this world that a black person would rather be.
Unless, of course, they grow up in this country.
You broke the contract rule for 400 years!
Then they're fed a lie that is so deceptive The reason that that lie exists is power.
There are certain people who are using the Negro in order to establish that power in Washington.
And the Negro is just merely a pawn in a game that's bigger than he is.
I support him!
Thank you.
Had to be said.
Had to be said.
I don't know what the hell we're coming to.
It's unbelievable.
All right, we will leverage that.
We'll talk about the FBI Supervisory Special Agent being escorted out of the building on Friday, and then we'll take it from there.
I guess it shows the FBI recognizes it's got something hanging out here, doesn't it?
Well, either that or Senator Grassley is the most powerful senator out there, because I think this is up to him.
I don't know what Grassley said to the FBI, but I think you're right.
They must have the goods on this chap so badly that they just had to get him fired.
Get him out the door?
Yep.
Well, you know, Grassley undoubtedly is pretty powerful.
And I see he's running again.
I mean, what is he, 85 or something?
It's sort of impressive in a way.
Is he that old?
I didn't know that.
Well into his 80s, and I think he's about to pass Patrick Leahy as the senior, you know, as the president pro tempore.
Wow.
Let's have a look at his age.
Let's have a look at his age.
Welcome, dear friends.
Welcome, dear friends.
I'm just checking something on my phone.
I didn't want to credit it, but it is absolutely true.
A gentleman I will be discussing with our next guest, Senator Chuck Grassley, will be 90 years old next year.
90 years old!
Who knows the age of U.S.
Senators better than your show host?
A man who we rely upon to give us a sanity check on what is happening in American politics.
From a northern vantage point, he is the author of seminal presidential histories and the most recent book is Donald J. Trump, A President Like No Other.
Lord Conrad Black, welcome back to America First.
Thank you, Sebastian.
By the way, Senator Grassley is assumed to be re-elected this year, so that would make him, I think, 96 when he finishes his term.
I think it'll be his 8th term, or 7th or 8th, anyway.
Born September 17th, 1933.
Quite impressive.
I did not peg him for a soon-to-be nonagenarian.
That's impressive.
Well, I think it's inspiring for all of us, you know?
Indeed!
Indeed!
This idea that people have to retire at 65 is just rubbish, I think.
Yeah, when you look at President Trump, I always said when I was in the White House as a man who was in my late 40s when I served President Trump, if I had had a fraction of that then 72-year-old's energy, I would have been a very happy man.
Lord Black, before we get to the very serious topic of your latest piece for Epoch Times and what is happening at the FBI as well, can we have some fun?
Do you mind if I start on a slightly lighter note?
Please do.
I'd love to have some fun.
All right, so this is... I played this already last hour.
It's just too good not to repeat.
This is President Trump's former lawyer, Michael Cohen, on the state of his former boss's planning.
Play cut.
I do not believe Trump is going to run.
First of all, he knows that he can't win the general election, statistically, and his fragile ego will not allow him to be a two-time loser.
There are going to be plenty of people that are going to challenge him, and rightfully so.
Which, again, he does not want to go up against.
Like, for example, Liz Cheney.
She already stated, if he's running, I'm running too.
Conrad, you know this man, you've dealt with him, you've negotiated with him.
According to his former attorney, he's afraid to run because he statistically can't win, and especially if people like Liz Cheney challenge him.
Well, it shows that cheats and snitches are not only lacking in integrity, they have no brains.
I mean, that has to be the dumbest statement, masquerading as a political prognostication I've ever heard.
I mean, every line from, I believe, Mary McCarthy, everything in those sentences is false, including the and and.
Right.
No, absolutely.
I thought you'd appreciate that.
Let's talk about the recent developments.
We might as well listen to Michael Abernathy while we're talking about crooked lawyers.
You know they're lying when you see their lips move.
You know they're lying when their lips aren't moving.
Another darling of the left-wing mainstream media as well.
A person who's... Oh, a CNN's presidential candidate!
Yes!
Yes, fetid by the likes of Brian Stelter, who no longer works there.
Well, let's move to more serious affairs.
So, on Friday, it was broken by the Washington Times, a very senior supervisory special agent was, by the name of Timothy T. Bolt, was escorted out of the FBI building in Washington, D.C.
An individual who apparently, and this is where Chuck Grassley comes in, they have the goods on this individual.
He was involved in the suppression of the Hunter Biden laptop story and also politically, politically involved in other sensitive cases.
How significant do you think this event is given how many people have gone from being Russia collusion hoaxes at the FBI to pick up lucrative deals at CNN and MSNBC, Conrad?
Well, look, I can't comment on the proportions of the rot within the FBI, but it is a terribly serious problem.
I mean, they are the federal investigative police, and it is obvious they have been severely corrupted and transmuted into the dirty tricks division of the Democratic National Committee.
And in that, I think some elements of the intelligence community have equally been corrupted and suborned.
And this rot has got to be amputated.
It's like a gangrenous limb.
You've got to get rid of it.
And the fact that the FBI, having stonewalled everything up to now, threw this guy out, I mean, it's a misfortune that his name is pronounced, although it's spelled differently, the same as the famous football star.
A good citizen, a very benevolent man, Thiebaud.
But the fact that they rushed him at the door is an indication the FBI has finally taken on board the fact that they are under siege and under real suspicion.
Now, Senator Grassley says that he's had, I believe it's 14 whistleblowers come to him with plausible stories.
Congressman Jim Jordan has had a number.
Senator Johnson of Wisconsin has had some, and no doubt there are others.
The whole vast apparatus of this perversion of the administration of justice in Washington to transform it into a political player
To subvert the two-party system and democracy generally, in terms of having confidence in the people's judgment being collectively correctly assessed and enacted electorally.
All of this has reached the point where the public is seriously alarmed, irrespective of their partisanship or their partisan leanings.
I mean, all these polls show a majority of Americans think the FBI is corrupt.
young or even a middle-aged man.
It was a highly respected force.
And I don't doubt justifiably so.
And I mean, it certainly got rid of communist subversion.
It did a pretty good job with the racketeers and the big gangsters.
It had, in general, a pretty good record, I think.
And when LBJ turned it on the civil rights movement to help the civil rights movement, it was very effective.
So it was a good police force, and it is now not one that the majority of Americans trust.
This is along with the fact that approximately 85% of Americans don't believe a word they hear or see or read in the media.
It's indicative of how bedraggled American democracy is becoming.
Now, it can be revived quite quickly, but it requires integrity to do it.
It requires that the media regain some professional integrity, and it requires that the FBI and the Justice Department generally be run absolutely fairly and in complete and unwavering devotion to the pursuit of the enforcement of the law in an absolutely impartial way.
And all you need is to replace corrupt leadership with honest and competent leadership, and you'll get a very great change very quickly, and you'll get a public response that reflects that.
We'll talk about just how badly things have been bedraggled in your latest piece in the next segment, but Lord Black, in the two minutes we have left with you now, and I don't want to read too much into it, but the fact that Andy McCabe, who was fired from the FBI, lost his pension because he lied three times to his own federal colleagues, his federal agents.
And the Inspector General recommended he be indicted.
Right, and then got his retirement pension back with his connections in the deep state.
This is significant, is it not, that this person was actually escorted out of the building by his fellow agents?
I think it has to be seen as an undeniable recognition, finally, by the leadership of the FBI that they have a real problem.
That the blowtorch is on their backs and that the country won't stand for this corruption any longer.
Maybe I'm being an optimist, but there's no way they'd be turfing this guy out like that.
on a Friday afternoon and trying to cover it up in their usual manner if they weren't really finally sweating it.
I mean, they understand, I think, that the party's over.
And the attempts, as you say, in the last 24 hours to say, oh yes, that's how FBI, that's how prestigious senior FBI agents always retire, being physically escorted out of the building, tells you something as well.

Lord Black after these messages.
If you can so deny reality, how do you actually function as an adult?
Well, look, life must go on.
And so, I mean, he's a completely discredited, ludicrous figure.
But, you know, he's a human being and he must persevere.
And, you know, I don't dispute his desire to go on, to make his way as best he can.
But they, I mean, I would have thought that he would realize that he's only sought out by the anti-Trump media because he has all the bitterness and, you know, taste for malicious I would have thought that he would realize that he's only sought out by the
I mean, the man who said, I'd take a bullet for the president and then testified against him in matters that were completely discredited and led nowhere, absolutely nowhere, judicially.
And having so compromised himself, I think any sensible person would realize the thing Keep his head down, keep his mouth shut, and reconstruct his life.
He served his time in prison for, you know, fiddling with the taxi licenses and all that nonsense in New York City.
But, you know, he's done it.
He did the crime, he did the time.
He has a right to pull himself together and put his life back together.
But the way to do it is not to go on with these Asinine denunciations that no person with an IQ and double figures could believe against the man doing the O's, you know, his entire career, basically, until he blotted his ledger and double-crossed him.
Yeah.
Truly pathetic.
Truly pathetic.
Look, I think if he just, I guess he can't practice law now, but if he'd just gone back to doing some gainful employment, you know, keeping his head down, seeing his friends and so on, but staying out of the news, you know, In a few years, someone would say whatever happened to Michael Cohen, and you'd see him, and I'd say, well, that's fine.
You know, the guy, he made a mistake, he screwed it up badly, but he put his life back together again, and good luck to him.
I think that's what people would say.
But this is just disgraceful.
It's just compounding, you know, the faults that were already obvious, and reminding us of why he's a sleazeball who was sent to prison in the first place.
Yep, for being a rat, exactly as you said.
Gentlemen, have you got the cut from Zuckerberg?
Yes, good.
All right, I'll use that with Conrad next.
Sebastian, weren't you astounded at the casualness with which Zuckerberg just dropped it right out there that the FBI had tried to kill the Hunter Biden story?
I've been trying to the last day.
I've just been ruminating on Because he's clearly an intelligent person.
I think he's on the spectrum when it comes to lack of social graces.
I think there's a potential autism there or something in how just totally robotic he is.
But it doesn't strike me as an individual who thinks off the cuff and then shoots from the hip and makes comments like that.
So there has to be some reasoning there.
Well, it seemed to me that, no, he's certainly, I mean, he's not a guy that strikes me as an appealing public personality, but that's not the point.
He's obviously very intelligent and very highly.

How do you guys handle things when they're a big news item that's controversial?
Like, there was a lot of attention on Twitter during the election because of the Hunter Biden laptop story, the New York Post.
Yeah, so you guys censored that as well?
So we took a different path than Twitter.
I mean, basically the background here is the FBI, I think, basically came to us, some folks on our team, and was like, hey, just so you know, you should be on high alert.
We thought that there was a lot of Russian propaganda in the 2016 election.
We have it on notice that basically there's about to be some kind of dump that's similar to that.
So just be vigilant.
A striking admission, not something I think that happened by accident as the former head of the Hollinger News empire, Lord Black.
What is the significance, A, of Mark Zuckerberg saying that now, that the Hunter Biden laptop story, yes, it was suppressed by us?
And why do you think he said it?
Well, I think the significance is very high as it contributes another high element of proof to what we were speaking of in the first part of our talk, that the FBI has gone completely off the rails and in political matters it intervenes in a very one-sided way and has made it so that
The tool, the instrument of one party against another in a way that's completely illegal and absolutely contrary to the whole raison d'etre of the Federal Bureau of Investigation.
Whatever may be said of J. Edgar Hoover, he never meddled in politics like this.
He no doubt had his faults.
But there is not one instance that was ever trying to rig an election or influence public opinion one way or another electorally.
And I think that for Zuckerberg, a very intelligent man, not one that I find a particularly sympathetic public figure, but he's a hugely successful man and deserves respect for that, for him to take this decision indicates that he sees that the wind is starting to come from another direction and he wants to get on side.
He's not going down with the ship of, I was part of the sandbag operation against Trump, although of course he was, but in a way that was legal because of the You know, the chicanery and dubious activity of Democratic legislators and partisan Democratic state courts in various of the states, swing states, where the last election was decided.
I mean, he made a huge, what, $400 million, I believe, he put in to help the Democrats.
Correct.
It was legal, but I think he realizes that The whole thing is starting to come unstuck, and he's not going down with that ship.
He's entitled to his political preferences, and the law allowed him to do what he did.
But I think he recognizes that not all of those who were on the same side as he was conducted themselves as carefully as he did, and some illegalities were committed, and he's putting some blue water between himself and them.
A very sensible thing to do, as well as an honest thing to do.
So when you look at this admission that is stunning, if you add it to that $420 million that we know of that he used to help privatize the election, how do we get out of it?
We can go directly to your piece, can this be happening in America?
With the Epoch Times, that is a catalogue of the outrageous and unconstitutional measures that have occurred in America in the last six years.
For example, how do we fix this?
As somebody who's run a newspaper empire, as somebody who has followed American politics, do we have to have the Mar-Bell, Baby-Bell approach?
Do we break them up?
Do we use anti-cartel policies?
How do we insulate the political ecosystem from the most powerful distributors of information today who clearly have an ideological bias?
Well, look, we can't start meddling with the free press.
I mean, if, say, CNN, for example, or MSNBC, if they want to be, as they do, They want to be partisan.
They want to be hostile.
They have a right.
They have a right to do that.
I mean, you know, if they hate Trump and like the Democrats, that's their right, unfortunately.
They're not, unfortunately.
It is.
But so, you know, you can't fix a press that isn't working by causing it to cease to be a free press.
I think you've got to rely on market forces, and I think they have come to the assistance of the truth here, because all of those major media outlets have lost a tremendous amount of their franchise.
I mean, you know, when you just go back 30 or 40 years, the immense influence of the three original networks Over-the-air networks, not cable networks, and the major print outlets, Time Magazine, Newsweek, Washington Post, New York Times, that's basically it, those seven, and maybe a Wall Street Journal and a couple of others.
Their influence was immense in the hands of a very few people.
All of that is scattered now.
I mean, none of these people on television has 10% of the credibility of Walter Cronkite or David Brinkley or a number of the others.
And so they're paying for it.
And assumedly, their economic self-interest will cause them to become more professional.
Now, I think you can say something for a formalized complaints office where people – you have this in Britain where people complain about what the media are doing.
And the Complaints Commission, if it's justified, if the complaint's justified, excoriates whoever's responsible.
And that's bad public relations for them.
So you can do that if you want.
But I think we've just got to rely on the people, and I think you're seeing it.
I mean, as I understand it, Fox News, which the left denigrates as rabid pro-Trump partisanship, which is rubbish, they won't even, you know, they won't even cover his speeches anymore, but they do with Candle and News, even-handedly, I think.
And some of their commentators are quite pro-Trump.
But they have, as I understand it, far greater ratings than these others.
But people vote with their eyeballs and their feet, you know?
The leading Fox show, I think, has four or five million viewers.
I think that's, right now, Tucker Carlson.
The best showing at CNN is less than a million, closer to 600,000.
So let the market tell you who is purveying the right product.
We've been talking to Lord Conrad Black.
Your calls next here on America First.
Conrad?
Yeah, thanks.
Can I just ask you one thing?
Yes, of course.
Look, Newt Gingrich seems to think that the DOJ is going to indict Trump.
I can't see it.
I think the wheels are already coming off this phony raid.
In Palm Beach and I think it's just going to fade away like the raid on Rudolph Giuliani's apartment.
I hate to tell you but I agree with Newt.
My producer thinks it's going to happen this week.
You mean just to get it in before the midnight?
Correct.
Because anyone, I mean, he can't, he's got to object to a trial in Washington.
Totally.
No Republican can get a fair trial there.
Yeah, it will, but who knows if he can get it held anywhere.
I mean, even in Virginia, even in Virginia.
Northern Virginia is just as bad.
It's just as bad.
That's just a civil servant.
Right, right.
And that lunatic who had Michael Flynn in front of him, that guy, he was like raving.
I think that guy was bipolar.
We're calling him a traitor in the morning and then apologizing in the afternoon.
That's not psychologically normal.
But that won't knock Trump out of the race because I think half the people think he's been persecuted and he should just drive on.
No, I think it will actually strengthen his hand.
But you know, if they do that, the Democrats are through for 20 years because in the end Any such charge is going to be thrown out and exposed for what it is, and then they're really going to be disgraced.
I think the only way we return to some kind of normalcy in this country is if there is a psychotic break inside the DNC.
They have to have some cataclysmic event happen to them internally because otherwise they can't be fixed incrementally.
That's the problem.
They've so crossed that Rubicon of political persecution with their buddies at the DOJ, CIA and FBI that There needs to be a reckoning.
There needs to be a reckoning.
And that happens when the alcoholic admits that they're an alcoholic.
Yeah.
Well, then you may be right, in which case, as usual, the bard Shakespeare had it right.
I think his line was, so foul the sky clears not without a storm.
Exactly.
From King John, I think.
I mean, that's what you're saying.
I am.
It's just so rotten that they've got to go the distance to get rid of it.
Yep.
Yep.
It has to collapse in on itself.
We shall see.
We'll see.
Let's have a gentleman's wager.
Yeah, I'll stick to my view, but I'm very respectful of the ultimate deal.
Yeah, how much?
A hundred bucks?
Let's do it!
Okay.
All right.
You've got it.
All the best.
God bless.
Bye-bye.
Thanks.
All right.
Bye.
There we go.
No, exactly.
and why would they stop?
Thank you.
Thank you.
On the side of the U.S.
Constitution, America first.
All right, guys.
Don't go anywhere.
If you've called in Mike, Mark, or Randy, we will get to your calls.
But first, we have to give you a little bit of news about us.
Yes, we have to tell you about how the Snowflakes are trying to...
Target, yours truly, and the team here at America First and at Salem.
So let's start with the email received by our good friend, the producer of the show, from an organization called NewsGuard.
Mr. G, can you tell us what NewsGuard is?
They are supposedly this non-biased organization that looks at websites and they say if they're newsworthy or not, and really what they do is they just target conservatives and then they give them bad ratings.
Right, so this is a way to target conservatives under the cover of being neutral.
And you, as a leftist, are going to decide who is a real news outlet.
So this individual, what is his name?
Samuel Gregory, right?
Sorry, Samuel Howard.
Samuel Howard sent a lengthy email to our team, challenging the veracity of our posts on our website, sevgawker.com, and Samuel Howard has not responded to my email.
He said, why?
Why do you say the things you do about the election in 2020?
What excuses do you have?
And we're going to Well, we're going to tell Google.
We're going to tell our real masters at Meta, at Facebook, why you're such a bad person because you're a conservative.
And I have here this multi-page report they've written about me and my website.
I guess they want to get us cancelled.
Well, let's talk about this person who approached us.
Samuel Howard goes by According to the website NewsGuard, he's a staff analyst, and he's based in Tallahassee, Florida.
Most recently, he worked as a community reporter at the Palm Beach Post.
Howard previously was an editor at UPI.com, where he covered crime at the South Florida Sun Sentinel.
was a production intern at CNN Indonesia and worked as a reporting intern at the Tampa Bay Times, the San Antonio Express News, the Northeast Ohio Media Group, and the Idaho Falls Post-Register.
He occasionally contributes articles to the 850 Business Magazine.
Now here's the interesting thing.
He must be a kid.
Howard graduated from Ohio University in 2016.
Before college, he volunteered on the campaign to re-elect President Barack Obama.
And you're the person who's going to judge whether I have credibility, whether I am independent, whether I should be allowed to give my opinion about the news in America.
It's weird.
I emailed this individual this morning, Sam Howard, and I never got a response.
These are the two questions I asked Sam Howard at NewsGuard.
Please, look up NewsGuard, everybody.
Go to their website and send them a little message along the lines of these two questions.
Number one.
Who gave you the authority to check the veracity of any website?
Who?
Who gave you the authority to be the be-all and end-all, the arbiters of truth in America?
I'd like to know who that is.
Was it the government disinformation board?
Was it that fascist crazy woman?
Nina Jankiewicz?
Was it your buddy Obama who you worked for?
Sam?
Is that who?
I'd like to see under what authority you deign, deign to make judgments about other people and the truth.
You worked for Obama!
How's that thing he said about stopping the oceans?
How's that truth index about the planet doing for you right now, Samuel?
Oh, and here's the other question you could ask these people.
Who certifies you as impartial, Newsguard?
Who certifies you, Sam Howard?
Is it your Democrat buddies?
At Google?
At Alphabet?
At Meta?
At Facebook?
I waited for your response, but you didn't get back to me!
And when Mr. G found out, I emailed you again!
I wanted confirmation!
From you!
On your email!
Did you really work for Obama?
How dare you!
You filth!
You wish to cancel those you disagree with?
You're a fascist little punk, and I'm going to talk about you every single day I can.
Because we're not intimidated by you or your fascistic buddies at NewsGuard, at Google, at YouTube, at Alphabet, at Facebook.
And we, as long as we have breath in our bodies, we won't stop fighting you to take back our country.
You don't intimidate us, you little punks.

Zachypoo, that's right.
It's awesome we never heard anything from that guy anyway.
Where is Zachypoo?
Geoff says they look similar.
They do look similar.
Have you found a photograph of Zachypoo?
No, the other one.
Sam Howard.
We know what Zach looks like.
No, have you found a photograph of Howard?
Yeah, on his Twitter.
He's got a Twitter?
How many followers has he got?
He probably has a similar voice.
1700.
Has he got a squeaky voice?
Any media?
Any video clips?
No, that guy I could find, yeah.
Squeaky voice!
Zacky, where's poor Zacky Poo?
Still writing two paragraph articles for Daily Beast.

That was funny.
Again, I know they were Fuentes followers, but I still thought that was just a funny image.
Yeah, but it's not as good as me asking him whether he's going to give his mom his phone back.

It's got a Line 3 mic waiting very patiently in California.
Mike, welcome.
Hello, Dr. Gorka.
Well, while I was waiting, I had the pleasure of listening to you, of course.
Good!
I'm glad!
Anyway, to answer your question about the FBI and, you know, should it be abolished?
Can it be reformed or redeemed?
I'm now of the opinion that it has to be abolished and replaced with something very different and much less powerful, as Lord Acton said.
Power tends to corrupt, and absolute power corrupts absolutely.
And as I like to say, if government doesn't have power, it cannot abuse the powers it does not have.
So you have to make sure government does not have any more powers than very limited.
powers to do the job that we the people wanted to do and that's it now the fbi when you think about it it's actually engaged in a coup attempt it's um it's helped to steal the 2020 presidential election i mean and this isn't all new stuff i mean historically you can go back to the um randy weaver murder the hit job that the fbi did against him and you can also look now this isn't i guess what's that got to do with having a coup okay
well the point is the fbi has abused this power in very horrific ways and as far as i'm aware it really was never held accountable and Now, obviously, a coup attempt is, I guess, much more severe than murdering an individual and maybe some of his family members, but the point is that the FBI has been unaccountable.
It has way too much power.
And it's so corrupt that we have no idea what the extent of that corruption is.
We've had very few, if any, whistleblowers.
Do you have any idea how many thousands of employees work for the FBI?
Yeah, 34,000.
OK, 34,000, I would have hoped at least half of them would have been whistleblowers.
I mean... Yeah, I said it the day after Mar-a-Lago.
If you're not outside, you know, the Washington field office or the Hoover building in Washington, D.C.
as an FBI agent and going on strike the day after they Dr. Gorka, thanks for taking my call.
residence, then you are complicit in treason.
So I completely agree.
I'm not sure how the Randy Weaver thing fits into it.
I think the sniper there actually paid a penalty for what he did.
But yes, the FBI is out of control, and we do, Mike, have to dismantle it.
Thank you for your call.
Mark in Philly, line 94.
Dr. Gorka.
Yeah.
Thanks for taking my call.
Sure.
I was calling about the last two bills that were passed.
I'm not a math professor, but if you take the 45 million they say that are available for $10,000, to me that comes out to $450 billion.
I I don't understand why the Republicans don't take like a half hour on prime time TV and explain that even in the last one, the Green New Deal, if they were all to take advantage of the subsidies, which comes out to about $20,000 a year, that's trillion, $2 trillion.
And in order to take advantage of them, they'd have to spend $10 trillion to buy all the upgrades.
None of these numbers mean anything to anybody, so that's the first problem, Mark.
When you're talking about even billions, the average human being can't relate to a billion dollars, let alone a trillion dollars.
The far more, you know, easy way of doing it is to say it's going to cost every taxpayer six thousand dollars.
When, you know, the coal miners paying off You know, the gender studies, master's degree, tuition bill, it's going to be $6,000.
That's a figure people can understand.
Why is the GOP not doing it, Mark?
Because they have no spine!
Why haven't they spoken for the last year and a half of the political prisoners that are rotting in the political gulag here in Washington DC?
Hey, Dr. Gorka.
Hey, man.
I know you taught these FBI guys in Quantico.
I appreciate your scholarly work on it and such.
Wilkesville.
Welcome to America First, Randy.
Hey, Dr. Gorka.
Hey, man.
I know you taught these FBI guys in Quantico.
I appreciate your scholarly work on it and such.
I'm wondering, like you're talking to the last guy, what can we possibly do to get these swamp creatures like Mitch McConnell and his ilk, all of the establishment phony, blony conservatives somehow to realize that we do have blony conservatives somehow to realize that we do have to replace the FBI and that they've got to be replaced, somehow moved out, you know better than anybody.
And before I leave, I'd like to ask you one favor as a long-time, everyday listener, Dr. Gorka.
Could I do that before I go?
Yeah, go ahead.
If the FBI, which I'm sure they're listening right now, if they call you and want my phone number, please don't give it to them.
Thank you, buddy.
Thank you, Randy.
You've asked the wrong question.
You asked, what can we do to convince the likes of Mitch McConnell to get rid of the FBI?
Mitch McConnell couldn't care less!
He's happy!
In fact, he wants the FBI to keep intimidating and persecuting MAGA, America First Americans, like President Trump, because they're a threat to him!
It's like I tweeted out half an hour ago.
If you love America, If you're a patriot, you're going to end up on the FBI's enemies list.
If you live in the swamp, if you're a swamp creature like Mitch McConnell, you want people who threaten your rice bowl.
To be weak.
You want the Steve Bannons and the Peter Navarros to be arrested on misdemeanors.
You want President Trump's privacy, his wife's wardrobe to be raided by men carrying guns.
What we have to do is get rid of the likes of Mitch McConnell.
Every single one listening to this show, all three million of you, need to run for public office.
Ideally, at the local level.
Then we don't have to worry about Mitch McConnell, because then America becomes MAGA, and the GOP becomes America First.
That's the way we do it.
Great questions.
Thank you, guys.
I'm Sebastian Gorka.
This is America First breaking news.
Mikhail Gorbachev, according to Russian media, has passed.
The last Secretary General of the Soviet Union is no longer.
This is America First coming to you from the reliefactor.com studios.

You deserve to know.
There's only one way to know, but it's super easy.
Order the three-week quick starter pack at relieffactor.com.
It'll be at your door in three days or less.

800-500-8384, relieffactor.com. - Yeah, that was like 20 that was like 20 minutes ago.
Yeah.
Gorbachev!
Gorbachev.
Right, are there any cuts left that I need to play, Mr. G?
Hmm... What about Rob Schneider?
Yeah, but we haven't been talking about comedy, so I don't know if it makes much sense.
Maybe the Trump lawyer?
I don't know.
Jeff?
Um, let me think.
It's yesterday's sheet.
I don't have the sheet in front of me.
I don't know how I lost it.
I got you.
Shall we ask Alex to do some live radio?
Yes, there we go.
Oh, boy.
Ask him why he's so quiet.
I'm going to send you a link to Red Scare.
Steve Bannon actually went on their show.
Oh, are you familiar with it?
I am.
A little bit.
How would you describe it?
Dirtbag left.
Yeah.
Dirtbag left.
That's good.
That is actually a term though, that is like a... What does it mean?
It means basically like leftists who rely on really like vulgar humor to kind of get their message across.
Oh, I hate that.
Send me the leg.
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.
Impressive.
Impressive.
91 years old.
Mikhail Gorbachev.
Born 2nd of March 1931.
Now he's passed on.
The man who facilitated the peaceful... What shall we say?
Wasn't that peaceful given the attempt to remove him from power, but outside of those short few days of the The White House, the Parliament, pushed by the hardliners.
He helped effect the transition of the Soviet Union into the Russian Federation.
On Christmas Day 1991, the greatest Christmas present my family or anyone who suffered under the boot of Soviet oppression and occupation could have been given.
And let's pray for his soul.
But let's also put this death and his life into the proper context.
We would not have won the Cold War without three people.
And those three people do not include Mikhail Gorbachev.
He was the right man at the right time.
He wasn't a hawk.
Who wasn't prepared to use the tanks to oppress and suppress his fellow Russians.
But the transition from captive nations to the dissolution of the Iron Curtain, to those glorious, glorious images of East Germans manually
Ripping apart the Berlin Wall on November 9th, 1989 must be laying at the feet of our president, Ronald Reagan, who called out the Soviets and Gorbachev for being an evil empire.
Margaret Thatcher, the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, who stood
shoulder-to-shoulder with Ronald Reagan in the contention they shared that the West is the greatest civilization the world has ever seen and we must stand up to communism and then lastly as part of the triumvirate of freedom Saint John Paul II who as a man who had grown up under fascist and soviet occupation to become the Pope
was fearless, fearless in his opposition of the communist regime, especially in Poland.
I'll leave you with the words of Saint John Paul from Poland where he went during the Cold War.
Be not afraid.
I'm Sebastian Gawker.
This is America First.
Thank you.
We have put together, I think, the most extensive and inclusive voter fraud organization in the history of American politics.
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.
True The Vote has the largest store of election intelligence for the 2020 elections in the world.
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 legal.
- This is organized crime.
- Do you have video evidence?
- Four million minutes of surveillance video around the country.
- What you're about to see is disturbing.
So this is 1 o'clock in the morning.
Don't we all vote at 1 o'clock in the morning?
One night, this person, this mule, went across six counties to 27 different drop boxes.
I call it the Mexican Mafia, seriously.
Because they work like that.
This is jaw-dropping.
What you showed is frightening.
It's just sickening to me.
Now we come to the most important question of all.
Was the magnitude of vote trafficking enough to tip the balance in the 2020 presidential election?
It's not a leap to say this would have made a difference.
They have ruined election day in the United States of America.
That's provable.
And that's enough for me to fight the left with every fiber in my body.
Without free and fair elections, we are not a democracy.
We are a criminal cartel masquerading as a democracy.

This was the moment when the rise of the oceans began to slow and our planet began to heal.
There is a story of an ancient king.
It is an Anglo-Saxon story.
His name is King Canute, who said, I am the king!
I can do anything.
And they took him to the lapping shores of the sea, and he said, halt!
To the sea.
It didn't work.
He got his feet wet.
But Obama thinks he can stop the rise of the oceans.
Is any of it possible?
Is it a cult?
Let's talk to the man who's educated me the most on the insanity that is the modern environmentalist movement.
We're so excited.
On the day of his book launch, The Great Reset, Mark Morano.
Welcome to America First, one-on-one.
Thank you, Sebastian.
Happy to be here.
It's our book launch.
You wrote the foreword to this.
Yeah, I know, I know.
I promised to get it to you.
I was lackadaisical in getting it to you on time, but we got it in under the wire.
So, it's a fabulous book.
It's about the Great Reset, the global agenda to use.
Really, let's start at the beginning.
This is just, as a British author has called, a watermelon, is it not, Mark?
This is deep, deep red socialism on the outside with a thin rind, a thin veneer of green PC policies on the outside.
Is this just a re-wrapping of things we've been fighting since Karl Marx wrote that book so many years ago?
It absolutely is, and you're right.
The actual phrase, Great Reset, is directly related to climate change.
It was after the COVID lockdowns in June of 2020 that they really began this push for the Great Reset.
that Klaus Schwab said, we have a very rare, narrow window of opportunity in which to reset the world, this time in the name of climate change, following the COVID reset.
So this is absolutely what they're trying to do, and I detail in the book, is they're collapsing every current system that we have.
The old normal is out.
The new normal is in.
In the words of Vladimir Lenin and Doris Rusha, Worse is better.
The worse, the better.
That's the historical phrase that was attached to him.
And the idea is create as much chaos and collapse as possible in order to impose your revolutionary view and ideology upon.
And that's what we're witnessing in energy and transportation and in agriculture.
They want food shortages, energy shortages, and vehicle transportation shortages.
They want limited mobility for the masses.
That's you and I, Sebastian.
We're the masses in this plan of the Great Reset.
Well, we'll talk about the latest insanity coming out of California and soon to be two other states of the union as well.
But talk to us about what they say they're doing.
So, we understand it as communism.
In your book, The Great Reset, out today, you can see the truth behind it.
But when it comes to the World Economic Forum, when it comes to the John Kerry's, the Karl Schwab's, what are they saying they are doing?
Does this fall under social justice and equity?
What is the packaging they use?
Well, the packaging, their idea is if left to our own devices, we the unwashed masses would create racism, white supremacy, environmental destruction, a climate crisis, that we need to be led by credentialed experts.
So it is like the socialism, Marxism of old.
With one twist, it's got A technocratic edge to it.
They want to use the latest technology and surveillance to literally control us.
And the key here is they're doing it with, they don't necessarily need giant standing armies and a Gestapo.
They can do it through a digital way to basically unperson people.
They can de-platform, cancel, defund you, make you irrelevant.
We had the case of the recent, I guess it was a kickboxer, MMA type fighter who literally, because he came into cancel culture, had his Gmail canceled, his website canceled, his social media accounts canceled.
They can cancel your texts, your phone service.
We've had Trump officials had their bank cards revoked from the credit unions.
We saw how Justin Trudeau did it.
So this is a new form of tyranny.
They make you irrelevant.
It's based on a Chinese social credit system.
So it's getting a mishmash of all the old systems And they're essentially repackaging it into a new, more terrifying and effective digital tyranny.
Let's just stop there for a second.
So the social credit system where in China, if you say the wrong thing, they can just switch off your access to air travel or to education or to mortgages or what have you.
How dangerous is is this push to move towards digital currency meaning that we will be a cashless society everything has to be paid electronically you got to swipe your phone swipe your card or whatever it is if if we have that and we have people like this soviet trained individual that biden nominated to be comptroller of the united states economy who said she wants to have all all
Checking accounts made national, made part of the U.S.
government, then we're talking about a scenario, Mark, in which, if you say the wrong thing, your capacity to even buy anything can be shut off centrally.
This is truly Orwellian, is it not?
It is.
In the book, I go heavily into the digital currency aspect of this as it relates to violators of COVID lockdowns, to vaccine mandates, to anyone who dissents or protests.
So first of all, in the United States, Joe Biden earlier this year, issued a National Central Bank Digital Currency Executive Order.
And what they want to do is establish—this is essentially to compete with any decentralized digital currency—they want to establish a national digital currency from the Federal Reserve that will literally do as you're describing.
You will only be able to spend money and participate in an economy if you are a citizen in good standing, a la Chinese social credit system.
We saw this play out in real time in Justin Trudeau's Great Reset in Canada with the Freedom Convoy, where if you were involved in the protest or if you even baked a cake or made bagels or delivered coffee to these protesters, you were then considered an enemy of the state.
Your banking, your credit cards were cut off.
Justin Trudeau, probably more than any world leader outside of China, is most willing to impose this kind of great reset digital banking tyranny.
And in the book, I detail how even in African countries, different European countries, if you didn't get the vaccine, if you didn't follow the public health edicts, you couldn't even get a bank card, you couldn't withdraw cash.
This is the way in which the new forms of which they're going to control you.
We're not going to be behind a barbed wire fence locked up, although you might be in the case of Australia where they had the internment camps.
If you were near someone who got, you know, tested positive, suddenly you'd have to be locked up for two weeks against your will.
But by using the economic system, by using digital currency, and by using the banking system, this is the new form of control.
Adding to that, I have a whole section in the book about how the United Nations And MasterCard have joined up with the blessing and the approval, if you will, of the World Economic Forum to have a credit card that monitor a MasterCard that monitors your carbon footprint.
The World Economic Forum gushes when this card was released that it cuts off your ability to spend money when you hit your carbon max.
This is a very dystopian future we're looking at, Sebastian, if we allow it.
Is there anyone who you see pushing back effectively on this at the moment?
I see in Australia they seem to have politicians who are buying into this hook, line and sinker.
Who's impressed you in terms of resistance, Mark?
You know, it's a great question.
Mostly politicians have disappointed me, but in terms of who's impressed me, I'll give you the people who've impressed me.
Loudoun County parents protesting the school board.
New Jersey parents, California parents, the parents at the local level of government have been the most impressive.
Netherlands farmers have been the biggest and most impressive protesters.
Sri Lanka, where they literally had to topple a government after this great reset net zero agenda was imposed in the form of banning all modern high yield farming, the Canadian truckers.
These are the type of people that are leading the charge.
This is not coming from Republican leaders or anything like that.
There's a lot of good Republican leaders.
People like Rand Paul have been instrumental in going after the public health tyranny of this and going after people like Anthony Fauci.
Yeah.
And Ted Cruz has been very effective.
But sadly, many Republicans, in fact, many of the Republicans running now, don't seem to get it and don't seem to connect this.
This is not even a left-right issue anymore.
It's freedom versus tyranny.
And in the book, as you know, I welcome a lot of the left-wing figures from Naomi Wolf to the brand.
Well, we'll talk about that in a second.
But yes, it really is.
It isn't a political issue.
It is a freedom versus dictatorship issue.

Can I just go back to the basics?
I remember an amazing interview with an Australian commentator, might have been a former environmentalist, who was pushing back on the insanity mark.
And he set a figure on this live debate that I just had to go back and check.
And sure enough, I checked it just one more time to make sure I wasn't having a Biden senior moment with my memory.
Perhaps the greatest success of these authoritarians is to deem something that is a fuel for life, a thing that is essential for growth for the vegetable kingdom, which is of course CO2, as a pollutant, as a bad thing.
So number one, that's some seriously successful propaganda where you take the fuel for life and turn it into a pollutant.
And then secondly, I looked at the figure for the amount of CO2 in the atmosphere.
Mark, it's less than 0.04%.
than 0.04%.
Why do people not know that?
It's a trace essential gas in the atmosphere that is the tiniest amount, and humans contribute a very small percent of that.
It is one of the biggest cons of this entire debate.
They have us believing that human breath—now, as humans, we inhale oxygen, we exhale carbon dioxide—they have us believing that that is a pollutant.
The Obama administration labeled what humans exhale from their mouth as a pollutant.
And this trace essential gas in the atmosphere has been credited by NASA.
The increase to about 410 parts per million, which is minuscule.
We've had ice ages with many times higher CO2 in the atmosphere than we currently have.
And we've had warmer temperatures with it as well.
There's no correlation.
But essentially, this has been the debate we've had.
UK academic reports wanting to regulate carbon dioxide.
Would humans exhale human breath as asbestos because they claim it is a pollutant?
They've turned science on their head.
We had Will Happer come testify to the United States Senate, the foremost expert Princeton physicist on greenhouse gases.
And he said the Earth, geologically speaking, is currently in a CO2 famine.
We are in the 10% coldest part of the Earth's history, and we are in the 10% lowest level of CO2.
90% of Earth's history has had higher CO2 and colder temperatures.
So there is no climate emergency, but you can't tell anyone because if you say it, you get deplatformed, cancelled, censored.
The same way if you descended on COVID or COVID lockdowns, you got deplatformed and censored and defunded.
So we saw this happen.
This is how they create a consensus.
This is how they create no dissent.
They go after anyone who challenges their narrative.
Which is, of course, the opposite of science.
Consensus has nothing to do with the scientific method.
In fact, if you had consensus on an issue and you voted on something, that is the opposite of science.
Talk to us about the latest developments.
California announced this week that by 2035, so in 13 years' time, they will have banned gasoline engines.
What's the real objective here, Mark?
Well, they know they can't do this.
First of all, let's look at this.
This was not voted on by California.
They didn't have an initiative.
There wasn't a referendum.
There wasn't a legislator.
This was a Gavin Newsom executive order followed up by a bureaucratic board called CARB, which literally issued these edicts from the unelected morass of the bureaucracy.
So what they're doing is they're telling Californians, by 2035, you will not be able to go buy a new Gas-powered vehicle or diesel in our state.
It's illegal.
Now, what if you bring it from another state?
What if you, you know, what if you try to come in from Nevada with a car?
Who knows what's going to happen?
They haven't worked all that out yet.
But you're ending with a spectacle of there's going to be competition now for used cars that are gas-powered.
This is going to end up looking like Cuba, where everyone's driving around 1950s California cars.
And beyond that, Gavin Newsom knows, and California bureaucrats know, they can never meet this.
So what they're really doing, and the real purpose of this, I mean of Sebastian, what Gavin Newsom's doing, is to create a car shortage.
Because there's no way they're going to be able to have electric cars ramp up with all the rare earth mining necessary.
You have lithium in three South American countries that they're refusing to essentially allow to be mined.
You have China getting the cobalt For electric cars from Africa using underage minors.
You have all these chip shortages, refinement.
There's no way this is happening.
But what is going to happen is chaos.
And it's going to be a situation not unlike East Germany, where people are going to be on a waiting list for an electric car like they were for the East German Trabant.
So what California is doing is borrowing a page from Cuba, a page from East Germany, and they're creating the perfect environment for the great car reset Which is going to be chaos in limiting people's travel, making automobiles, whenever you ration something, you're going to make them more expensive.
So this is a way you can reduce emissions.
The climate is behind all of this.
The Great Reset is behind all of this.
The book is The Great Reset.
It has launched today.
You need to get it right now.
The Great Reset, Global Elites and the Permanent Lockdown.
Mark Murano, forward by somebody called Sebastian Gorka.
I want to talk to you about this.
The shifting to electric.
This is from a professor, Elliot Jacobson.
I don't know if you're familiar with him.
I saw this on Sunday.
He tweeted out a table of what would be required for us to shift away from fossil fuels.
What the rare earth minerals and metals would be required for us to literally get rid of them, like California said.
And how much above the actual natural reserves we have.
And let me just give you Two examples.
Copper.
If we switched to electric vehicles, we would be short 80%.
If all the copper in the world was used, we would be 80% short of the copper needed.
Even worse, when it comes to lithium for the batteries, if we switched To electric vehicles.
The current reserves in the world would only cover 10% of the batteries needed for those vehicles.
So, at the end of the day, this is just a bait and switch.
This is just a big con job, right Mark?
It absolutely is.
They cannot meet these requirements.
It would be one of the greatest rare earth mining excavations In world history, I like to say in EVs, dig the earth, not in a 1970s Brady Bunch groovy way, keep excavating way in a environmentally disruptive way.
And if you add to that the fact that we're not allowed to do that kind of mining, we have rare earth mining here, like lanthanide, rare earth metals here, but we're not allowed to dig because of environmentalists and lawsuits.
So we outsource it to China.
We outsource it to South America, to Argentina, countries with lower environmental standards than ourself.
But even if we could get, even when we do mine some of the rare earth, we still have to send it to China for processing.
This is going, we went from energy dominance and independence under Donald Trump to now, with this agenda, complete reliance on China, complete reliance on even Russia for nickel and other rare earth mining, complete reliance on South America.
This is part of the Great Reset.
I detail in the book.
One of the goals of the Great Reset is the U.S. will no longer be the world superpower.
It's stated in a slick video produced by the World Economic Forum.
And what better way to knock off America as a superpower than to cut us off at the knees with energy and add to that food, what they're doing with agriculture, and now transportation.
Now we're getting to the real goal of all of this, the real underlining objectives, We're talking to Mark Morano.

It is one of the most blessed, blessed things you can do.
So let's talk about the various different motivations, Mark, why this is happening.
So you just mentioned the documentation that this is about taking America down a notch or two, making sure we are no longer the sole superpower in the world.
It's punishing America for being America.
That's clearly part of the Green Agenda.
How much of it, though, is also Driven by the graft, the back scratching, the business interest.
We remember Solyndra, the solar panel, billion dollar boondoggle under the Obama administration.
How much of this is business interest?
How much of this is ideological?
Where would you put the percentages?
Well, actually, it's all of them working in harmony.
So I would say ideology is A good 40%.
And then you'd have business interests being, I guess, people who can make money, probably being the rest.
But you don't need as much ideology, because the ideology will drive it and then get the funding.
And then once the businesses realize they can profit, or academia realizes they can be funding endlessly off supporting this agenda, and the media the same way, but their corporate interests promote this agenda, that's all you need.
If you go back, the idea behind this, you can go back to Woodrow Wilson's administration in the 19-teens.
He proposed the idea of sort of the expertocracy, the idea of being ruled by an expert credentialed class who knew better than all of us.
And in the book, I go to even a guy named Stuart Chase, who was instrumental in advising Franklin Delano Roosevelt.
He was part of his kitchen cabinet during the New Deal.
And he talks openly, essentially, it sounds exactly like The Great Reset.
And he even says, this is in his 1932 book, Sebastian, he gives you a chill.
He even says in the book, why should the Soviets have all the fun remaking the world?
Now, this was it.
The New York Times was promoting Stalin's purges in Ukrainian farms, and the left was all enamored with what Stalin was doing in Russia.
So I've updated it when I give a talk and discuss this.
It's now no longer, why should the Soviets have all the fun?
Now it's, why should the Chinese have all the fun?
And I think that's the best encapsulation of how they've updated what's happened under Woodrow Wilson with some of his advisors and FDR with some of his advisors and bring it to the modern day.
Because if you go look at what happened with COVID, the World Health Organization number one funder was Bill Gates.
They sent a sham investigatory committee to China to investigate their original lockdowns, and they came back and told the world, and I document this all in the book, if you want to know how to stop a virus, do what China's doing.
So to paraphrase a 1932 line about the Soviets, why should China have all the fun?
And that's what I document in the book, because the power that comes from that ideology is these leaders.
Justin Trudeau, who said in 2013 he had great admiration for China.
Obama administration energy secretary, who praised China.
The UN climate chief, Christina Figueres, who praised China's one-party rule.
Tom Friedman, New York Times, who praised it.
I have all these Westerners who praised China's ability to impose their authoritarian rule without the messiness of democracy.
What lockdowns and emergency decree under COVID gave them was it brought this one-party rule to the once-free West, and that is what we're doing.
Why should China have all the fun, the same way the leftists in the 1930s asked why should the Soviet Union have all the fun remaking the world?
Yeah, it's a sad, sad conclusion we have to draw after the last two and a half years with regards to COVID, that it's unaccountable so-called experts, bureaucrats who are just drunk on power.
We're going to draw the connections between the environmentalist lobby The Greta Thunbergs of the world, the AOCs, and COVID and the lockdowns, how they're going to leverage the experience and the power they gained under the Wuhan flu response.
The book is The Great Reset.
It's by the founder.
You've got to go there.
Bookmark the Climate Depot.
Mark Murado, Global Elites and the Permanent Lockdown with a foreword by yours truly.
Before we discuss the connection between the COVID lockdowns and what you're arguing for under the Great Reset, I have to just, you know, have you give us some clarity, Mark, on The disparity geographically.
So America is lambasted by the likes of Karl Schwab, the World Economic Forum, Greenpeace, you name it, the Gaia worshippers.
But which countries in the world I mean, we have an unbelievable record.
I know under the Trump administration, after we left the Paris Climate Accords, we actually improved our CO2 output after we left that outrageous regime.
Who are the real big players that pollute the atmosphere and who get away with it and who seemingly don't care, Mark?
Yes, well, great question.
First of all, the United States, since the first Earth Day in 1970, we have radically improved air and water quality, while at the same time improving economic growth and big increases in population.
Having done all that, the World Health Organization recognizes the U.S.
as among the cleanest air and environmental quality in the world.
And this is our success story.
And yes, you mentioned Donald Trump.
Donald Trump pulled out of the U.N.
Paris Agreement.
And the United States, drumroll please, Sebastian, led the world in reducing carbon dioxide emissions.
No other country came close.
It was because of our technological innovation of fracking, replacing fracking Replacing coal with fracking, which was a lower emitting, more efficient form of energy and less environmentally disruptive.
I mean, you would drill a hole in the ground and then drill horizontally and get the gas out that way.
So this was a huge success story.
But instead of allowing this to continue, this was all collapsed.
And we went from the world, for the first time since Harry Truman was president in 1952, we were the world's leading exporter of oil and gas.
We had more exports than imports.
We had more production than consumption.
We were sitting pretty.
What every president, as Richard Nixon, claimed they were going to achieve, American energy independence, actually happened under Donald Trump.
And COVID lockdowns came and pulled the plug on everything.
Biden came in and further, you can't say he pulled the plug, he poured the cement upon everything and buried American energy.
Whereas now, they're intentionally creating energy shortages.
This isn't a side effect of these energy restrictions.
This is a feature of the Green New Deal style Great Reset policies upon which they're imposing.
And the real villains Obviously, it's China.
China gets a pass because they're pledging to do something by the year 2030, begin doing something that they have shown no interest in doing.
They're building a coal plant a week.
They have 50% of the world's coal.
Their CO2 emissions are leading the world by far.
But if you combine that, and if you look at this recent Inflation Reduction Act that Joe Manchin allowed possible, Two separate analyses, one by University of Colorado Professor Roger Pilkey and one by European statistician Bjorn Lomborg, show that even if all the pledges are met by Biden's plan to further hammer American economy with this inflation reduction slash legislative Green New Deal version, the globe won't even notice the CO2 emissions.
In other words, by 2050, no impact on global CO2 emissions.
By 2100, Roger Pilkey found no impact on emissions.
Bjorn Lomborg followed up by 2100, no impact on emissions or temperature.
This is a complete nothing to do with CO2 emissions.
This is about hammering America first.
And this is all in line with the agenda of the Great Reset.
Okay, let's talk about the second part of the title of your new book.
How do the lockdowns fit into all of this?
How has the Wuhan virus from China strengthened the hand of those at the World Economic Forum, the Fauci's of the world, the Neil Ferguson's in the UK?
Explain the connection of these two deadly ideologies.
Well, what's happened here is with COVID coming in 2020, first was the psychological impact.
They realized after 30-some years, you can look at Gallup poll, and climate never scared anyone.
But a virus that was frightening, and they said it was going to kill your grandma, kill your children, cut across party lines, ideology, everything you can imagine.
So they scared the public into submission.
It was a psychological operation.
The masks were part of it.
If you wore a mask, it looked scary.
This changed everything.
It let leaders realize, and I go through a whole history of emergency powers, going back to the Roman Republic, and how abuse of emergency powers to deal with crisis, no matter what form of government, monarchy, feudalism, dictatorship, democracy, leads to abuses of powers.
I go through Middle Ages, I go through 1933 Germany, and show how the 12-year abuse of power created the reign of you-know-who.
I won't say his name because we'll be accused of violating Godwin's law.
But even 9-11 with the Patriot Act and the surveillance state and those emergency acts, every emergency act has had negative consequences.
So the way this COVID lockdowns work, this is now morphing into Joe Biden, according to Associated Press.
We're talking openly about imposing a climate lockdown based upon the same principles as the COVID lockdown.
Remember, World Health Organization in 2019 declared climate the greatest public health threat we face.
This is before COVID came along.
So COVID and climate are married together.
And the COVID lockdowns, 230 medical journals, British Medical Journal, Harvard School of Medicine, are all basically saying the same template of a climate emergency to be followed that we used for COVID.
So this is where we are, this is what we're facing, and they're talking openly now about a form of energy lockdown.
If Joe Biden declares a climate emergency, and Associated Press is predicting he will, probably happen right after the midterms, He gets 130 executive powers, but not just Biden.
Mayors, governors, they can do car-free days in cities.
They can regulate smart app, your home thermostat.
We're seeing it happen in Europe.
Spain can't go below 80 degrees for businesses due to their energy shortages.
It's all because of the crisis.
And here's the most perverse part.
They're creating intentionally a food crisis by shutting down high yield agriculture, shutting down agriculture and meat eating, making it more expensive and rare as the goal of the Great Reset.
And they're going to blame the coming food shortages on what they've been predicting climate change would cause.
They're going to say, we were right.
Climate change created these food shortages.
We need more climate regulations.
This is how it works.
They predict something and then they make policies to make sure it happens.
And then they claim their prediction was true.
And then we get more of the policies that created the food shortages.
This is nuts, Sebastian, but this is our dystopian world in which we're living in.
Absolutely incredible.
We are just glad to have you out there telling the truth about what these people are doing and the true hidden agenda behind all of it all.

Okay, Mark, let's talk about what it should be like.
If we can put the crazies back in the box, if we win the midterms, President Trump gets back.
I presume you're not a person who says the environment is irrelevant.
You hold to the standard from the Bible that we are stewards of the environment.
What should an enlightened political attitude to the environment be?
Well, that's a great question.
And the bottom line here is we actually were doing that under Donald Trump's administration.
You want to support economic growth, you want to support technology and innovation.
If you look at the countries with the most central planning, the most socialism, the most top-down bureaucratic control, Historically have had the worst environments.
The worst environments were in the Soviet Union, were in Eastern Europe.
And then of course, people say, oh, well, that really wasn't, it wasn't tried correctly.
That really wasn't communism.
And by the way, they're doing that with COVID.
We have Anthony Fauci, we have Jerome Adams.
The one Trump administration appointee I will never understand, his Surgeon General, saying things like, well, we never really locked down.
Those weren't really lockdowns.
I know you couldn't go to church or the gym or you couldn't leave your house and you were at a curfew and weddings and funerals were canceled and all your restaurants closed, but it really wasn't a lockdown.
They've done the same thing with socialism and communism.
That really wasn't Marxism.
That really wasn't socialism.
So What you want to do is free markets.
The healthier and wealthier a country is, it has the cleanest environments.
It is only in the very wealthy countries that you can actually afford to sit back and worry about things like climate change.
Because if you're in a subsistence level of living without wealth, without development, and you're living in huts made of dung, and you're using rivers for sewage plants, and you're Slash and burn agriculture.
You are the most environmentally destructive.
Of course, the left reverses that and they claim indigenous people are the greatest stewards of the land.
And of course, there's been whole scholarly books written about that.
The myth of the noble eco-savage.
They were not earth-friendly.
They drove herds of buffalo off of landscapes.
They burned forests.
They destroyed species.
So, it's actually modern man that can handle The environment the best.
That's my message there.
And we were doing it pretty darn well under Donald Trump.
And the United States has been the beacon of the highest environmental standards and the greatest energy sources.
It's when we outsource our pollution for virtue signaling.
That's how they want to do it.
They want to lower our emissions by outsourcing to South America, to the Middle East, to OPEC, to China, to India, to Russia.
Because all you're doing is an accounting trick in the end.
One more reason to get my former boss back in the White House.
The book is The Great Reset by Mark Morano, released today.
Global elites and the permanent lockdown.
