Sebastian Gorka LIVE: Biden declares war on MAGA
| Copy link to current segment

Time Text
The End
The End Donald Trump and the MAGA Republicans represent an extremism that threatens the very foundations of our Republic.
Not every Republican embraces their extreme ideology.
I know, because I've been able to work with these mainstream Republicans.
But there's no question that the Republican Party today is dominated, driven, and intimidated By Donald Trump and the MAGA Republicans.
And that is a threat to this country.
He's talking about you, dear friends.
He's talking about every single one of you that listens to this show.
If you voted for President Trump, you are MAGA.
Why?
Because you believe in America.
You think it has a special role to play as the only nation on God's earth founded on the principle of liberty.
Liberty not deigned to us, not gifted to us by our overlords, by some dynasty, some hierarchy, some royal lineage, but by dint of the fact, as our founding document states, that we are made in the image of our Creator.
If you believe that, you are the threat to the, quote, foundations of the Republic.
Yesterday's 23-minute speech was a declaration of war against those who love America.
You were labeled, you just heard the words, an extremist.
Now, I shouldn't have to do this, but for the record, let's put a marker In the soil.
Let's draw a line in the sand.
Because this speech will motivate people to violence.
Not those who love America.
But those like James Hodgkinson who tried to kill the Republican members of Congress at that baseball field very close to this studio.
Like that Democrat voter Who went to one of the Supreme Court justices' home with a gun and knife and zip ties to kill that justice and his family.
Or like those of the Antifa BLM movement that rampaged across the nation in Democrat cities Causing three billion dollars worth of damage and killing at least 40 people, half of them black Americans, like retired police captain David Dorn.
There is a clear and present danger.
There is a group of extremists in America, but it belongs on the left.
It is people who voted for that man in that... Such a weird Diabolical representation.
Just play the B-roll, Eric.
So, when I saw the representations online of Biden and the comments and the memes, I went back and I watched the speech again, and look at how strange it is.
The location is fully well-lit.
The American flag, the Stars and Stripes, the Marines, and then it goes dark.
Then it goes satanic and red.
The marines can't be seen except in black silhouette form.
Why would you do that?
That doesn't lend gravitas.
That sends a very, very dark image to the world watching.
The color red?
Darkness?
I remember when President Trump came to give his speech at the RNC convention.
He came out of the darkness, a silhouette at the back of the stage, that iconic image, and then walked into the light.
That's how you do it.
You give your speech at the podium and the lights shine down on you so everyone can see you.
I saw it again and again and again at the rallies.
When I flew with the President to the stadium, The bright lights!
The celebration of America!
Why?
Why is speech in the dark so fused with the color red?
Well, it's appropriate because socialists and communists are red everywhere on the planet except in America.
That is the color of the left and it is us, the patriots, who are blue.
So what happened last night?
Who are the extremists?
For the record, if you believe in MAGA, you'll believe in America First.
No one has said what he said in the speech yesterday, that we are against birth control.
He actually said that, that MAGA is against birth control and people being able to marry those they love.
Which MAGA politician has said that?
Show me the Trump speech, the Gates speech, the Bannon executive order draft that says that.
But which party and which politicians have said America is racist?
America needs to be fundamentally transformed.
We should have open borders.
We should have cashless bail.
Which party has said that if you're white, you are the problem?
Your skin tone connotes your value as a human being.
And depending on the pallor of your skin, you are either the oppressor or the eternally oppressed.
It's not my party.
It's the Democrat Party.
There is a political movement that is extreme, that is on the side of criminals.
After people are beaten up, police officers are shot at, the district attorneys who are elected on their party ticket, funded by the likes of George Soros' foundations, they're the ones that release them back onto the streets so they can do harm again.
No Republican argues for that.
What are the extreme policies that President Trump brought us?
Securing the border?
Without a border you have no nation.
Destroying the caliphate of ISIS that had sworn to destroy us?
It's extreme to destroy our enemies?
To get government out of the way?
To such an extent?
That we had the biggest economy the world had ever seen by the time COVID hit?
And the lowest unemployment for women since the 60s?
And the lowest for Hispanics and Blacks since record-keeping began?
The president that provided so much job opportunity and business potential to the energy sector that we were selling our energy to others and we didn't have to rely on Russia or cartels like OPEC.
That's the extremist.
The man who said the First Step program has to help.
Minorities reintegrate into society after serving their time for offenses they committed in prison.
That's the extremist.
Don't take the bait.
Thank you.
There will be violence as a result of this speech.
But it will be done by the left.
We will fight for this country.
We will do so politically.
And we will do so by cleaving to the truth.
Because we won't let people who hate America destroy America.
Not as long as there is breath in our bodies.
I'm Sebastian Gorka.
Joe Biden is the threat.
Joe Biden is the fascist.

So it's a war on conservatives.
It's a war on those who believe in America.
How do we know that?
Just look at what happened to the 800 people hounded, hounded by the FBI after January 6th.
Thanks to somebody out there, you know who you are.
We have been connected with the wife of one of those who's being persecuted politically.
His name is Ryan Nichols and she is Bonnie.
Bonnie Nichols, welcome to America First.
Hey Sebastian, thank you for having me.
So, how long has your husband been incarcerated and what did he do or what has he been charged with?
So, my husband Ryan Nichols has been incarcerated in the D.C.
Gulag for over 600 days.
He's been charged with a bunch of bogus charges and hasn't been convicted of any crime.
But there he sits being tortured and denied his constitutional rights and due process by the Biden regime.
And many Americans should be concerned about this.
So tell us about what's happened to him, what his mental state is, and concretely how they've treated him in the D.C.
jail.
So my husband is a marine veteran.
He served his country honorably.
He was diagnosed with PTSD, which is an underlying health mental issue due to his time served in the military.
Since his confinement, he's been tortured in prolonged, solitary, disgusting conditions that are illegal in many states, which led him to suicide watch.
He's been denied his due process rights, his rights to see his family and his children.
He's been denied haircuts and a shave, a nutritional diet.
He's not allowed to go outside.
They're not allowed to cut their fingernails.
And many other different torturous things, they discriminate against him and many other January 6th defendants due to their political ideology.
My husband was recently thrown in the hole for punitive reasons, which led him to suicide watch due to this PTSD and them turning their water off where he was strapped to a bench.
He was put in a plastic suit and taunted and tortured and laughed at, basically trying to get him to commit suicide.
And nothing's being done about this.
I feel like Americans need to know the truth about what's going on and why people, American citizens that haven't been convicted of any crime with no criminal history are being held without bond in the D.C.
jail.
What is going on, Sebastian?
I just... I'm just...
No, I can hear it on your voice.
Has anybody stepped up to help you?
Any legal assistance, financial assistance?
What is the plight of people like you and your husband?
Our attorney, Joseph McBride, has been doing a ton of work, just investigating and trying You know, go through all these 14,000 hours of videos, but we need more help.
We don't have enough attorneys.
We don't have enough legal resources to be able to take on the United States government, and we need America's help.
All of these January 6th defendants need help.
And what about political assistance?
Has nobody from the Republican Party stepped up to the plate to at least Get a little bit more exposure for what's happening to your husband and his family?
You know, Mr. Corker, there has been a few Marjorie Taylor Greene that was later retaliated against, but my concern is where are all the Republicans, or should I say the RINOs, that took an oath to defend our Constitution that are more concerned about their political reputation than actually doing their job and standing up for Americans' rights.
That's the problem that's happening in America, is these politicians aren't standing up and doing what's right for these people.
And, you know, next, who's it going to be next?
And that's what we have a problem with.
We need to get these people out of office.
And we need to demand that they show up and take a stand for our constitutional rights.
It doesn't matter who you are.
Every American citizen deserves these rights.
And if we're not getting them, then something needs to be done about it.
Yeah, this is after last night's speech, declaration of war on those who support President Trump and who love America.
This isn't just about your husband or the 800 who are hounded.
It's about anybody who loves this nation.
So you told me that your husband's interests can be supported at the GiveSendGo donation site, if they go to GiveSendGo.
And then put in Ryan Nichols, is that correct?
Yes sir, that's correct.
And then also I would repeat what Julie Kelly has always mentioned when she comes on the show.
For the families of all those who have been incarcerated and persecuted after January 6, there is additionally the patriotfreedomproject.com.
That is the patriotfreedomproject.com.
That's for all of those who have been targeted and specifically for this Former Marine, PTSD survivor, it is GiveSendGo, the website, GiveSendGo.com, and then plug in Ryan Nichols.
What is your last message, Bonnie, to those who think, well, you know, there was a riot, violence was committed, and this has nothing to do with me?
Yes, sir.
So, one thing that I would like to share with America If you're going to take a stand for anything in your life, now's the time to take a stand for our constitutional rights and our freedoms, so that one day you're not sitting on your back porch sharing to your grandkids how America was once free.
So if you can take a stand for anything in this world during your lifetime, now's the time to stand up for your constitutional rights and for your freedom for the sake of the next generation, because if you don't, then it's your own fault.
Powerful words.
Will you please stay in touch with Mr. G, our producer, and when you have updates concerning the plight of your husband, will you come back on the show?
Absolutely.
I would be honored to, Mr. Gorka, and I appreciate you guys.
And please keep us in your prayers.
We will.
We will pray for you.
We will pray for your husband and everyone who is being targeted by the deep state and by the Democrats' police arm of persecution.
That was Bonnie Nichols, wife of Ryan Nichols.
Please support them.
We have to put an end to this for the sake of the next generation and the generations after that.
I'm Sebastian Gorka.
Your calls next here on America First.
America First.
This is what pisses me off.
If I'd been in the White House, I would've said, fuck you, to the CIA, to the FBI.
I would've taken that box of documents, and I would've walked them over, after the President said, that's declassified, I would've walked them over to Alex Marlow and I said, put them on your website, now.
And then they said, they handed them back to the agencies, Back to Bar.
Are you like, what planet have you been living in for four years?
Elias Brevor in the rumble chat makes a pretty good point.
What was the point of the revolution if this is where we are now?
Yeah, good.
Yeah, exactly.
title for that.
J6 inmate on Suicide Watch.
That's the thing, I believe every single thing she said.
I don't doubt all the prison guards are having their way with these prisoners.
Oh, we know!
We know!
I mean, you know, the Congressional visit confirmed it.
Yeah, like black prison guards harassing the white prisoners.
Right.
Yeah, absolutely.
Six hundred days, man.
Six hundred days.
Derek Chauvin got faster trial than that, I think.
Oh yeah, they should be sued into non-existence.
50 seconds. 50 seconds.
50 seconds.

They are saying that they don't agree with America first.
How do you say that?

First on the line, our buddy, Phil from Philly.
Line one.
Happy Friday, Phil.
Thank you, Dr. G. Hey, him being here in this city made me think of three quotes.
First one is, believe, obey.
Second one is, we belong to you.
And the third one is, education is a weapon whose effect depends on who holds it in his hands and at whom it is aimed.
First quote was by Mussolini.
Second quote was from Hitler.
And the third quote was from Stalin.
This is what's ruling our country right now.
This guy is bought and paid for, and he's a communist, and they are destroying us.
I have to say two things that were additional color to that 24 minutes.
Jeff, what was the first thing you said to me about the speech, the extra color that was added from the locale in which it occurred?
A little bit red?
No, no, no, but on the soundtrack of the speech, there was, every few minutes, there was what?
Oh, it was, well, it was Philly, so there was police sirens every couple of minutes.
Every couple of minutes there were sirens, and then Phil, did you catch, what was it, was it, uh, how many minutes in, six minutes in, that he was heckled by somebody who said F Joe Biden?
Did you hear that?
Dr. G, it's absolute chaos out here in the streets right now.
Was that you?
Was that you, Phil?
Did you shout F Joe Biden?
If I was down there, I would have just politely turned my back and stood and looked the other way.
Nice.
God bless you.
Keep safe, my friend.
Happy Friday.
Have a blessed long weekend.
Let's go to line three.
Jim in Atlanta.
Welcome, Jim.
Sebastian, I want to know which founder promoted by word or deed those things which Biden has implemented.
Top of the list.
No trial, no speedy trial.
The lady indicated so sadly.
And which founder then said, we are going to do all these things, make all these sacrifices with our lives, our fortunes, our sacred honor, and then we want to fundamentally transform them?
Which founder was that, Mr. Biden?
Look in the mirror, Mr. Biden.
You are the enemy.
You are the evil one.
You are demonic.
You need to be removed!
You need to be punished!
You need to be run out of the country!
You need to be put in solitary confinement!
It's exactly like my good friend and my colleague, Dennis Prager, always says.
Whatever they accuse us of doing, they are doing themselves.
Let's go to our good buddy in Los Angeles, Brent!
Happy Friday!
Great democracy loving Gorka.
Republic loving!
Republic loving!
Because even he kept talking about the democracy that we're not.
But carry on.
Democratic Republic.
Good.
We need to draw a distinction between the demonically inspired democracy of Biden's democratic socialists and our founding fathers' biblically and divinely inspired democracy.
Contained within the deadly RNA spikes of Biden's democracy are the satanic democracies of Hamas, the people's democracy of the CCP, and Hitler's German democratic socialists.
Judas Joe's speech was Satan's Gettysburg Address, and every American has an obligation to study it.
This soulless sociopath slandered America's soul.
Not only did he desecrate Independence Hall, but our entire nation under God.
Even the monstrous Marxist media maneuvered to do everything they could to hide and bury their Orwellian servant.
Last night, Devil Joe ripped off all the Luciferian masks of the left.
Excellent.
Excellent, Brent.
That's one of your best.
I think I want to remember especially Judas Joe because, yeah, he has bestrayed everything he swore to protect when he put his hand on the Bible at the podium in front of Congress on January the 20th.
He has forsworn what he swore to protect.
God bless you, Brent.
I'm Sebastian Gawker.

Mm-hmm, that's the question.
I want to believe the Republicans survive, but I have a feeling... What do you mean the Republicans survive?
The system has just changed permanently now at this point.
So what do you think?
Do you think this is Pol Pot's Cambodia?
Not Cambodia.
Eric, I'm taking your phone away.
I'll give it back to you Tuesday.
You need some days without the phone.
Seriously.
I mean, what is to be done?
Say Trump gets back in office, what do we do then?
You do realize we survived the Civil War, right?
Yeah.
600,000 people murdered.
You do know that, right?
Sure.
The Jim Crow South ended.
Things changed around.
What do you think that felt like back then?
So, how do you want me to introduce you?
Do you have a student's organization?
Or-- High School Republican Federation.
High School-- Republican Federation.
Do you have a title there?
Hey Guy, did you turn his mic on?
Is his mic on, guys?
Alex!
Guys, come on, we've got 60 seconds!
Hang on, Guy's trying to figure it out.
One minute.
He's mic'd him up.
Yeah, it's on here.
But it wasn't on over there.
I thought Guy would turn it on since he was mic'ing him up.
Alright, can you just say a few words?
He's on one.
Just talk, just talk.
No, no, look at me.
Is it working?
No, it's not on.
It's on?

Let's hear another clip from yesterday's speech.
This is the man who sadly bears the title of the commander in chief.
Cut three from last night's speech.
Democracy cannot survive when one side believes there are only two outcomes to an election.
Either they win or they were cheated.
And that's where the maggot Republicans are today.
They don't understand what every patriotic American knows.
You can't love your country only when you win.
So Republicans are bad.
Now, the threat, he used the phrase, clear and present danger.
So why would anyone want to become a Republican?
Well, let's ask somebody who's a brave young man.
My wife recently heard him speak in Fairfax County in Virginia.
He's the Secretary of the High School Republican Federation of Virginia.
Michael Gregory, welcome to America First.
Thank you.
So, I didn't plan this interview based upon the President's speech, but let me start there.
How old are you?
I'm 16.
Why did you choose the Republican Party as your identity?
Because it is the beliefs that make the most sense, that's the most realistic.
Plus, my family has been in a communist country, have seen what happened there, and you can kind of see what's happening here with that.
That's another reason.
But really, again, it's just coming back to the beliefs of the Republican Party.
It's what my family believes in.
Which country?
Did your family escape from?
Russia.
Russia.
Okay, so my wife was very impressed.
No, she was impressed, but she was also very disturbed by what you said at that meeting.
So will you tell us what kinds of things your fellow students are being taught politically in the high schools of Virginia?
So, um, I can't speak for all of Virginia.
No, no, but what you've seen.
Yeah, what I see in my school, um, I wouldn't say it's more of like Thai things, more of people are just kids my own age are seeing.
Like, for example, young as 13 years old, you know, middle school, younger, they fully believe in communism.
And I don't even personally understand where it's coming from.
So you'll ask them about communism because you've got this family background.
Yeah.
And you'll have somebody you go to school with say, yeah, I like it.
No, they say, I love it.
I want it here.
And it's not just one person.
It's not just two people.
It's a whole bunch of them.
It's not only my school.
It is a lot of, most schools in this area.
Loudoun, Prince William, Fairfax.
It's scary.
It really is.
They don't understand fully what it is.
And then when you tell them, hey, maybe I could help you out a little because my family comes from a former communist country, does that work?
Are you able to break through to them?
Do they believe you? - No, they don't think I'm lying. - They think that the people who've lived under communism don't know what communism is, but they living in America who are free, they know what it is and it's good.
Exactly, and it doesn't make sense at all.
But you can't tell where it's coming from.
Honestly, I can't tell you.
I will say there are probably teachers, there are teachers out there that will probably, will say this stuff.
They can't really exactly say that they support it, but first, you know, But they can say the reverse, right?
That there are problems in America, capitalism is bad, inequality, so it's easier than saying Stalin was great, but dis-America.
Pretty much, yeah.
So what are you doing and what's it like to come out openly as a Republican, to be the Secretary of the Federation?
What's your life like now?
I'm just curious.
So, I mean, this didn't really happen until recently, and it's been very interesting.
I haven't really gotten attacked as much, but even before this in school, and this is my school specifically, if I say anything about my opinions, I get immediately shut down.
I get immediately attacked.
Do they say, what, you're racist?
Racist, I'm a racist, fascist, xenophobic, and I mean...
From an immigrant family, you're the xenophobe.
Yeah, it's funny.
It really is.
So, yeah, that's usually what I face on a daily basis in school.
A lot of people say that kind of things and I guess they just don't really know what they're talking about.
What about the last year and a half?
Because they don't have to pay the bills because they're still kids.
But has the last year and a half of Biden, the price of gas, or what they're seeing made anybody around you kind of question this idea?
Or are there more Republicans coming to you?
More kids saying, hey, I think I'm a Republican.
No, there actually are more kids starting to come out.
I will say that.
And it's awesome.
But the problem is a lot of them are scared.
And even current Republicans, like-minded people like me at my age, are also very scared to come out and say anything.
So that's still happening.
But yeah, I will say there has been an uptick of people kind of coming out and saying, hey, you know, actually I see the light now.
I see things differently.
I know what you're talking about now.
Why are you doing what you're doing?
Again, because of what I was told, what happened in Communist Russia at the time, and also because it's what I believe in.
I see fellow students who are suffering not being able to say what they want, and not being able to express their opinion.
There's multiple teachers who will put down any opinion like that, so that's the main reason why.
We've got 30 seconds left.
What would you say to other young men and women in school with you who may be starting to believe what you believe but feel Intimidated, don't want to be called racists, xenophobes.
What would you say to them, Michael?
I would say speak out.
I spoke out in front of one of my teachers who was full-on liberal.
And I spoke out and I actually had a good outcome.
He wanted me to say more, he wanted me to speak more, he wanted me to give out more of my opinion more.
So there are teachers like that out there.
But I would say go out, do more, don't be afraid.
Because if you're afraid, You won't get anything done in there.
You won't have a country standing to do anything.
It's the American way.
I want to shake your hand, Michael Gregory.
Thank you.

My eyes just aren't working with this tiny font.
I saw that.
back please.
Hey some of the info has been released of what they found.
I saw that.
Is anything interesting?
Yeah the media it is.
It says FBI reveals they had 48 enemies Empty.
What did I say?
What did I say?
Empty covers.
Eric.
If it was 1776, you would be saying there's too many Brits.
Okay?
No.
No.
I just asked him what happened to him this week.
I still indict him anyway at this point.
Eric.
Eric.
Yeah?
Eric.
If it was 1776, you would be saying there's too many Brits, okay?

3 5, 4, 3
A lot of times when we analyze things, we do things through the prism of how the media would cover it if Donald Trump gave this speech.
I think they might not stop talking about it for weeks on end.
Because the messaging was so aggressive.
You know it if President Trump stood there in a satanic red mist with marines as props behind him.
What the reaction of the mainstream media would be.

Let's go to Sam in Atlanta, line four.
Thank you for waiting, Sam.
Hey, Seb, how you doing?
Mr. Captain Conservatism himself.
Hey, listen, if Joe Biden thinks that I'm a threat to his democracy, you know, this socialistic dogma that they've got idealized as democracy or whatever, yes, consider me a threat.
The people of America have turned princes into paupers Overnight, okay?
So, yeah, you know, come November 2024, whenever it is, he's gone.
He's done.
I think he's going to be gone long before that.
Thank you, Sam, and thank you for your patience.
Anthony, Sacramento, Line 5.
Well, hello there, Doctor.
This is an update on California's little gun fiasco.
Go ahead.
Well, Rob Bonta went down to San Diego, cried tears, stomped his feet, and they're gonna wait 60 days for the final solution.
Meaning what?
You lost me.
Can you give me the context and what the 60 days refers to?
The final judgment on the assault rifle law and the magazine law and things like that.
So just another punting down the road?
Roger that, sir.
However, there has been some lights.
The California legislature refused to upgrade, if you want to call it that, the rules on CCW, since they realized that would be affected by the Braun decision, and so they said no.
Yep, that's the administrative slight they're going to use.
Thank you for the update, Antony.
Let's squeeze in one more.
Annabelle, Line 1, Pennsylvania.
Welcome to America First, Annabelle.
I know.
I'm going to be very, very quick.
Yes.
Oh, by the way, we don't burn down small businesses.
We support them.
But this is something I'd like President Trump to say, considering they would not allow it during the January 6th hearings.
Tomorrow night, I'd like him to say, I urge you to march peacefully and patriotically to the polls and let your voices be heard.
I love it!
It's genius, Annabelle.
Use the phrase they won't use during the January 6th witch hunt.
I urge you to peacefully and patriotically march to the polls to let your voices be heard.
The best callers, because we have the best listeners.
This is America First.

And they see their MAGA
failure to stop a peaceful transfer of power after the 2020 election as preparation for the 2022 and 2024 elections.
Thanks.
Thank you.
They tried everything last time to nullify the votes of 81 million people.
This time, they're determined to succeed in thwarting the will of the people.
Another clip from that speech that is, as far as I'm concerned, the crossing of the Rubicon and a declaration of war against at least 74 million Americans.
Let's ask somebody who is a savvy political operator, worked on numerous campaigns, my former White House colleague, former special assistant to President Trump.
We just call him the Baron Boris Epstein.
Welcome back to America First.
Great to be here!
Excited to be here, Baronial Wave!
It's been too long, my friend, been too long.
It has!
My dad was just saying to me, you know, if it's not every week I get a clip, I get disappointed.
Yeah, I mean, who cares about that war room thing you do?
I mean, this is... You don't have Baronial Waves with Banner, and you have that here!
God of you and my friend, Sebastian.
Oh, and the watch looks good, my man.
Oh, thank you.
This is actually the same watch my father had when he was still with us.
It's a classic from the 70s.
You are a very sharp-eyed individual of taste.
All right, let's talk... I've got peroneal eyesight.
I know, very impressive.
Let's talk turkey.
The one question that we've been debating quite heatedly outside before I came back on air is, Maybe you've got the answer.
What happened last night?
Was it Fonz water skiing over the shark?
Did they actually jump the shark?
He's already had to walk back some of it.
Is this just keeping the base energized?
Is this gonna boomerang?
Or is this what we've got to expect until November?
You are the seasoned operator.
What are you seeing?
For example, I know you advise numerous campaigns.
Has this brought us more fundraising in the last 12 hours?
Yes, it's brought more energy.
It's energized the base even more, the MAGA base President Trump's following.
But overall, you know, I just want to go back out 10,000 feet.
There's a scary moment in America.
I mean, the colors, the Marines in the back.
I mean, we all know what imagery that, you know, that was reminiscent of.
Oh, we lost you there for a second.
Hang on.
Hang on.
Let the sky catch up.
So we lost you where the you know what image it was reminiscent of.
Carry on.
You know what image it was reminiscent of?
And we've seen the pictures online.
We've seen the memes online.
The advance work The preparation, as you and I know, having been to the White House, the preparation for an event like that is major, and they failed.
And now, so there's two questions.
This is what I wanted to drill down on for a second.
Both of us having worked in the White House, when a president gives a speech like that, that is primetime, broadcast across the nation, that speech, I only worked on speeches as a kind of, you know, anything to do with national security, but a speech would go through multiple hands, multiple clearances, the staging of an event, the positioning of the ancillaries.
This isn't, oh, Put him out on the stage and let him talk.
No.
This was planned and approved again and again and again.
So none of this is an accident, Boris.
Absolutely not.
And so it's either it was a huge mistake or they planned it this way.
You know, they've been toying with this dark Biden stupidity.
And I think you've just got a bunch of idiots over there who love memes and thought, you know, this is going to be really awesome.
Instead, they made Biden look like literally the worst authoritarian, murdering dictator in history, Adolf Hitler.
I mean, that's what you're seeing online.
And to those offended, hey, you look at the pictures, you look at the colors, you look at the schematic, this is very troubling.
And when you've got Joe Biden saying MAGA's a bunch of fascists, and then you have this sort of You know, this sort of positioning and imagery.
Again, it's a scary time in America, and I think it's a time to be vigilant.
It's a time to be serious.
And for Joe Biden, you know, well, he doesn't know what day it is.
You saw it at the end of the speeches.
Look around.
Dr. Jill.
He doesn't know where anything is.
But the Biden regime, those who are controlling Joe Biden, ought to take a long, hard think about whether this is really the road they want to go down, where they are denigrating and dehumanizing over half Of the American population.
Because that is an ugly path.
We are never going to back down.
We are never going to sit back.
We're always going to stand up and fight.
So hey, you want to come at us?
You come hard.
But it is a mistake.
And it's a mistake of historic proportions.
So, given the last 18 months or the last 18 years, it doesn't make any difference.
There is never an indication that when they do something that doesn't work that they throttle down, they throttle up.
So I think for the next 68 days this is going to be their campaign platform that half of America are fascists, they're a threat to democracy.
What does this mean?
Because of course there's the trap.
That they want a conservative to use violence.
We know that they've normalized violence from BLM to Antifa to James Hodgkinson.
So how does this pan out?
Does it lead to greater mobilization at the polls?
What is the impact politically for the good guys on our side?
The impact politically is that we've got to be screaming from the mountaintops that our people have got to be active.
It's all about action, all about strength, taking agency into our own hands.
And it's all about saying, hey, you know what?
You want to be denigrating us?
You want to be really destroying the fabric of American democracy by saying half Americans are fascists?
Well, that's your call.
We are not going to put up with that.
We are not going to put up with it, and we're going to stay strong, and we're going to fight.
We're going to fight until the very end, and we're never, never going to sit back.
Right, so let's switch gears to the Mar-a-Lago, what I'm calling the state-sanctioned burglary of the President's private residence.
I like that.
The latest revelations from the DOJ inventory.
It's what I said on Monday.
I actually said this on the show because, you know, I had in my office, because I had access to a skiff, I had a box full of classified cover sheets.
These were cover sheets that said top secret SCI that by themselves weren't classified, but I could use to put them on documents that needed classification.
We now found out that that photograph is exactly that.
There wasn't secret stuff in It was the cover sheets, the unused, unclassified cover sheets.
Is this whole thing falling apart?
You're a lawyer by training, or are they going to keep saying, oh, oh, it's very serious, but we can't talk about it?
It's been falling apart for four weeks.
That's why you had leaks.
They leaked the word nuclear.
Nothing nuclear found.
They leaked super top secret, super sensitive information, except it was so sensitive that they took a picture of it and blasted it.
They threw the information all over the floor, first of all.
And by the way, to the idiots out there who don't understand, no, the information wasn't on the floor when they found it.
They took my containers, threw things on the floor, took pictures of them, and because it was all so sensitive and so important and you needed the super clearance people to look at it, they blasted that picture.
Hang on, hang on, hang on, Boris.
Are you telling me on live radio across the nation, from California to New York, that for 18 months, our old boss didn't have a carpet of secret documents laid out at Mar-a-Lago?
Are you saying that?
How triggered and how deranged the left has become is absolutely beyond belief.
But the dangerous thing, the awful thing, is that now law enforcement has been weaponized to be as deranged as they are.
And we've got to be very mindful of that, very vigilant about it.
Do you expect that for the next 78 days, they're going to play this half-pregnant game where they're going to leak, intimate, infer, but there's going to be no actual transparency and disclosure, and they're just going to play a game until the midterms?
Of course, that's what they already said.
Oh, we can't do anything until the midterms.
They linked that to Bloomberg, to Jen Jacobs.
But, you know, this is all very important and serious.
Here's the bottom line.
This was an absolutely unnecessary, unwarranted, un-American raid and break-in of the president's home, a beautiful Mar-a-Lago in Palm Beach.
As you said, a state sanction.
Break it, okay?
And if we continue to play—if anybody in our society continues to play to the other, you know, the Democrats' perspective and go, well, here's what could happen, here's what's not going to happen—wrong.
Here's the bottom line.
President Trump has always been in compliance with every applicable rule, law, and regulation.
He had full cooperation.
And this was an absolute disaster.
And this rate is turning out to be A disaster for the left, a disaster for Biden, and a huge embarrassment for the DOJ and weaponized law enforcement.

State-sanctioned what?
That was such a good line.
State-sanctioned burglary.
I love it.
I'm gonna use that.

Thank you, great to see you.

Bye.
The DOJ's ploy for Mar-a-Lago.
We're getting the Secretary mic'd up and he will be right on in.
Title for Boris and/or the young Mr. Gregory.
Um...
The DOJ's ploy for Mar-a-Lago.
DOJ's ploy for Mar-a-Lago?
Five, four, three, two, one.
Yes, we have audio on the Secretary.
And, uh, Gregory.
Um... Hey, hey, hey!
Um, one brave high schooler is pushing back.
Nice.
Okie dokes.
Is that the young man who just walked out?
Yeah, yeah.
I saw his father with the book.
Yeah, Katie heard him speak at a Fairfax County event.
He's the secretary for the High School Republican Federation.
Good for him.
He's very impressed.
His mom is from Russia, so he's having all these fellow students tell him how cool communism is.
He's like, what?
Yeah.
All right, we've got to talk Mar-a-Lago classification of documents.
Yeah.
Because you know about that.
Because the latest news that these were cover sheets, which is what I said on Monday.
What are you looking at in terms of external things?
Well, let's talk about a couple of things.
The Secretary of the Navy just gave an address yesterday on the state of the Navy, and he didn't mention anything about deter, fight or win.
It was all social policy.
The Secretary of Veterans Affairs announced that they're now in the abortion business.
Today.
All right, all right.
We'll talk about this.
The Ukrainians are inflicting incredible damage on the Russians.
Okay, good.
Oh, one other thing, Doctor.
You were partially responsible for this.
I didn't do it, I deny it.
The Solomon Islands, you guys sent me out as a Minister of State.
To Micronesia, Palau, the Marshall Islands, Samoa, to show the flag, meet with the leaders, and to embarrass the Chinese, which we did.
I remember.
And here under Biden, the Solomon Islands, the Marines spent so much blood at Guadalcanal, told the U.S.
Coast Guard to get lost.
What?
Wow.
All right.
All right.
and Biden does nothing.
And now we know that Blinken sent out a message to all the embassies that they have to stop using explosive rhetoric when it comes to the Chinese, like malign influence.
All right, all right, we've got to talk about it.
I think that's probably...
That's good.
Thank you.
Thank you.

I was just in the break talking to Secretary Robert Wilkie, what we have to do to cover the waterfront when it comes to national security, because it is Friday.
So many stories.
But first, well, I'm going to surprise you, if you allow me.
I'm going to ambush you, Secretary Wilkie.
Marines as props.
Yes.
Let's show, just play any one of the Biden clips as a B-roll without sound or the B-roll from the beginning.
Play the B-roll from the beginning, Eric, so those who are viewing can see how those Marines were stationed there and then used as props.
Your reaction as the man in the Pentagon who was responsible for the readiness of our armed forces.
Well, this is as vile as the speech.
And let me draw the contrast.
The chairman of the Joint Chiefs went running for the hills when the press barked that he should not have been in uniform in Lafayette Square when people were trying to burn down that part of Washington.
And he did a mea culpa on video.
He and the secretary are silent in seven languages right now.
After Marines were used and the Marine Band, which was created by Thomas Jefferson, were used as a prop in what I think is the most vicious partisan attack ever levied by a president in our history.
And let me tell you, that includes the most vicious partisans.
Jefferson, Jackson, Woodrow Wilson, LBJ, FDR, they would have never attacked, slandered half of the population in the way that President Biden did.
It is as low as we have seen the presidency be, in my opinion.
And to use young Marines as props to promote this and not a peep from the Pentagon.
Yeah.
When CBS News, which I believe did not cover this.
No.
Its reporters are attacked by the White House press corps for challenging Joe Biden using these young men as political theater.
That tells you that they have crossed a line that I don't think has ever been crossed in our history.
And when you use language as the Commander-in-Chief, you actually stated a threat to the foundations of our democracy and then called tens of millions of Americans, quote, a clear and present danger.
A clear and present danger is legal terminology that we use to target drug cartels, people involved in violence and insurrection.
As a military professional yourself, you served in more than one branch.
This is an irresponsible language.
This is dangerous language.
It's very dangerous language.
And the effect... And you're a classicist.
I learned my classics in England.
To make the United States Marine Corps appear to be the Praetorian Guard for the American left.
That's what I saw last night.
And it was shameless.
And I'm sorry to see.
I mean, just change the name to Trump.
And what do you think would be happening today?
For weeks, for weeks, months, months.
All right, let's you have a background in intelligence with the Navy.
I said something on Monday that I'm not sure was fully appreciated.
Because if you haven't handled classified documents, it is a Rather, you know, Byzantine world of mirrors.
But we have this photograph that was leaked from the DOJ of cover sheets, cover sheets, which by themselves are not classified.
The cover sheet is a warning.
Don't open this if you don't have a clearance.
That's what it is.
I have a cover sheet that is framed from my daily CIA briefings at the Pentagon.
That the intelligence officer who was the briefing signed to me thanking me for letting him do that.
You keep it in a skiff with the Secret Service guarding it, correct?
Because it's got nuclear secrets.
It's just a cover sheet.
It says nothing.
I want to make this very clear because I had a stack of them in my office in case I needed to cover a document that needed classification and to go into a skiff.
This is a card that marks a document with a big border in red or yellow that says oh yeah I better put that bag back in the secure bag and I better have the Intel briefer take it back to the skiff.
It is a piece of card that you could you could light the fire with.
And now we know, the DOJ has released today, that they were covers without documents.
That's right.
And let me correct that.
I got CIA, but also DIA, DOD briefings, with the same cover sheets.
And I had a stack of them.
Right.
If I wrote something... Yeah, you take it off and put it on top.
Let me just tell you what a classified document looks like quickly.
Let's say it's a memo.
Each paragraph will have a classification.
At the end?
It'll say whether it's classified, Whether it's secret, whether it's top or secret.
Whether it's foreign.
Right, whether you can distribute it to foreign sources.
Whether it is only to be distributed to the United Kingdom, Australia, Canada and New Zealand.
The Five Eyes.
That's right.
Which is frequent.
And to see this is just more evidence that if you didn't believe it before, when they frog-marched the special agent in charge of the Hunter Biden investigation out of the building, and I'll just say it, if you don't believe that there's a deep state, Then connect the speech, connect the raid, connect the Hunter Biden investigation.
That's not my area.
But there's a fact pattern.
That is.
That's exactly right.
And last night was the crowning achievement in terms of an assault on, let's just say assault on decency.
I'll use the Welsh term from the McCarthy hearings.
Mr. Welsh said, have you no decency?
Have you no decency.
I think that applies yesterday.
And it's a very sad day.
And when, as I said, CBS and some of the others, Reuters, are saying, wait a minute.
You can't use troops as props.
Now, there's always political theater.
When it's a military event, But when you're attacking your fellow Americans?
Right.
You don't use the armed forces of the United States.
No president has ever done that.
And I'll go back to my Roman Empire reference.
The Praetorian Guard is a perfect analogy.
And, you know, plug your ears, Secretary, but the Marines are special to me.
I love all our armed services, but the Marines are special.
Being founded in a pub, I think, is a very important part of that history.
And they can settle with the Coast Guard, which one is the older service.
But they did this to the Marine Corps.
is even more galling.
I want to hear Mark Milley's statement.
We're talking to Secretary Robert Wilkie, distinguished fellow at the America First Policy Institute.
I'm Sebastian Gawker.
Be sure to be following us on every social media platform, bar YouTube, because they're fascists.
We'll be back after these messages.
It's non-functional.
They just don't care.
Every speech has nothing to do with warfighting capabilities, readiness, or anything.
The word readiness isn't mentioned.
No.
No, and we're...
We aren't close if we're not there to the point where quantity overwhelms quality.
The only saving grace is one that they would never understand is that the Chinese Navy hasn't won a battle in 5,000 years and they would be new to a fight.
No traditions, no real world training, but still.
The thing that's so dangerous in all of this is just how clearly, utterly isolated they are from any sense of America.
Absolutely.
And now he's backtracking.
I know, I know.
The thing that's so dangerous in all of this is just how clearly, utterly isolated they are from any sense of America.
Oh, absolutely.
Well, you can just look at the loan issue for that.
Dana Perino had a great line.
She grew up on a farm.
She said, my father never had a loan forgiven for buying tractors.
Two and a half minutes.
I worry about that Solomon Islands.
Yeah, that's not a good sign.
That's the break in the dam.
Two minutes.
Two minutes.
Neil?
I was wondering, Peter, they must have poll-tested this, that this is a way to galvanize the base and maybe win over Independence, but I'm stretching here.
But what do you make of it?
Well, it's interesting because this is a case where the thing that they say is bad, MAGA, it's something that the Trump team still says is good.
They use MAGA as like the centerpiece of a potential 2024 run for him, make America great again.
They never ran away from it.
And so I'm sure this was very carefully poll tested.
However...
Thank you.

Quick little hit, little Monica Crowley.
Yesterday from Fox.
We love Monica.
This is what she had to say about the speech.
Cut eight!
Well, first of all, yeah, the imagery there was almost satanic with that blood red lighting and the two Marines behind them.
It was just insane.
Look, this was a garbage speech by a garbage president.
And the fact he gave this disgusting, dangerous speech at Independence Hall is a sacrilege.
Garbage speech by garbage president that was done in a place that he did sacrilege to.
You served in the Trump administration as a cabinet member responsible for our veterans, Secretary Wilkie.
You said something in the break to me that I found hard to credit.
What line of business is the Veterans Administration now in?
They are now in the promotion of abortion.
uh... secretary announced today that they would engage in abortion counseling uh... to lead to which is fascinating and i'll just i'll just say i mean the average veterans seventy one years old uh... so this is more political political uh... the course he used the terms rape incest life of the mother well we all believe that the life of the mothers and if there's a crime committed v a will will act
And refer and help anyone.
Right.
But this is part of a larger pattern.
When this administration came in, it said it had four goals for Veterans Affairs.
One was transgender.
Two was union prerogative.
Three was diversity, equity, inclusion, which is fascinating because the makeup of the workforce at VA is 48% minority.
And the fourth was remote work.
And now they've added abortion.
Let's go to the military side of this.
The Secretary of the Navy gave his State of the Navy speech, I think yesterday, and not one mention of deter, fight, or win.
It was all social policy.
So, correct me if I'm wrong, because I've never been a CAMDA member.
The state of a force, whoever's in the White House, should only be about two things, as far as I'm concerned.
Readiness, Yes, you're not exaggerating.
win a war if necessary.
And if there is some big policy shift, like we're going to have 700 ships and not 600.
That's what a state of the Navy should be about.
Advertising a plan and saying how things are, period.
Am I exaggerating? - Well, yes, you're not exaggerating.
The only thing I would add to your comments is that, yes, you can talk about the things that make Navy life better.
That can be part of your speech.
But if the only part of your speech is social, then it tells me that you are not... What you care about!
That's right.
You don't care about deterring the Communist Party of China as it moves farther and farther out.
Your quota of the right skin color and a fighting force pays attention to what the boss wants.
They have now, under the Secretary of the Navy, subjected all of our sailors To a three-hour video on the proper use of pronouns.
Let's get very, very operational.
You had a mission for the Trump administration when we were resetting everything globally, especially with Micronesia and Asia.
You shared another piece of shocking news.
The Solomon Islands have just said what to America?
Well, let's talk about what Solomons are.
I'll just use one word.
Guadalcanal.
The bloody cauldron that the Marine Corps entered and won made Admiral Halsey a world figure, Alexander Vandegrift, the great Marine Commander, 1st Marine Division.
Incredible blood sped.
The President of the Solomon Islands refused to allow the United States Coast Guard cutter into the Solomons.
He has cut a deal He sold his soul to the Chinese Communist Party.
Nothing from this administration other than the Secretary of State has put out word to all of his embassies that they have to stop using inflammatory language when it comes to the Communist Chinese.
So we've lost the Solomon Islands and we are placating the Chinese with our rhetoric.
The ambassadors, the foreign affairs officers, foreign service officers are not allowed to say things like malign influence.
National Review went through this chapter and verse yesterday.
Contrast with what you helped me do, as a Minister of State, the President, the National Security Team, understood the importance of the small Pacific Islands.
So for the first time, A Minister of State, in this case me, of Veterans Affairs.
Of the most important nation in the world.
Shows up in the Federated States at night.
And I'm sure you are welcome.
Oh yes.
Palau.
The Marshall Islands.
Alright, we are out of time.
I want to hear that full story.
Far too short a visit with the Secretary.
He's with the America First Policy Institute.
Former Cabinet Member, Secretary of Veterans Affairs.
I'm Sebastian Gawker, this is America First coming to you from the relieffactor.com studios.
Dear friend, if you suffer from daily pain, you've tried everything else and failed to find relief, do yourself a favor.
The only thing you have to lose is the pain.
Order Relief Factor right now by calling 800-500-8384 or just go to relieffactor.com.
The three-week quick Sutter Pack will be at your door in three days or less.

and half a million Americans.
relief factor.com. - Australia, so the Chinese guy doesn't... so the Chinese guy doesn't... - Mic's on?
...by all the Japanese.
Right.
So he came up to me, typical bully, does this.
He said, how many veterans do you have?
I said, well, we've got about 20 million.
He said, we'll always have more than you.
I said, yes, but there's a difference.
Our veterans become veterans by killing America's enemies.
Your veterans become veterans by killing their own people.
And I looked at the translator... You said that?
Oh, yes.
I reported this to the cabinet.
I said, look at this translator.
I said, you translate every word of that.
And I didn't have any contact with him again.
God bless you.
But contrast that with Blinken getting blistered by the Chinese on our own soil and saying nothing.
We can talk more about that next week.
I'll be here next week.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah, nothing from the early or all.
Yeah.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Complacency is a weakness that patriots cannot afford.
For that reason, Carr Firearms is teaming up with America First this year.
Carr believes Americans shouldn't be afraid to publicly stand up for our freedoms.
This is about more than being a gun enthusiast.
This has become a very personal issue as we struggle for the soul of America.
Carr wants America First listeners to know they are not afraid to publicly support Second Amendment Friday.
Car firearms.
Check out their line of US-made weapons at KAHR.com.
And they also include the Desert Eagle, the iconic Desert Eagle line of weapons, and the Auto-Ordnance Thompsons, including the 1911.
Let's talk about that for a second.
So, you know me, guys.
I was born in the UK.
I served in the British Army.
I cut my teeth on the Sterling submachine gun, the 9mm Hi-Power and the FN FAL in 7.62 NATO.
Iconic weapons!
I love the Hi-Power.
It took me until my 40s to really get into the 1911, but When I fell in love, I fell hard.
So much so that we created, with Car Firearms, our America First 1911.
Do you remember that?
Only 300 made, custom, with images of me, President Trump, the Second Amendment on the weapon.
It sold out in less than 72 hours.
Big fan of the 1911, especially that big, fat, slow bullet.
However, There's an issue.
It's only got seven or eight rounds in the magazine.
But those good people at Springfield pulled a fast one on me yesterday.
And we've got Michael Humphries with us from Springfield.
He is the Media Relations Manager.
Welcome back to America First, Mike.
Thank you, Dr. Gorka.
I appreciate it.
So, I've been into double-stack 1911s for a long time.
I love the extra capacity.
I started with the ball weapons from Israel back in the 1980s, then, you know, worked my way to more modern versions.
But you, let's put the video up, play the video.
You guys, it went viral yesterday.
You've decided to upgrade the iconic 1911.
Will you talk to us about the DS, the Double Stack Progedy?
Be happy to, be happy to.
As you well know, Sprinkle Armory is renowned for the quality of its 1911s pistols, so we decided that upping the capacity on that proven design made a lot of sense, and that resulted in, as you mentioned, the 1911 DS Prodigy, and that DS does stand for double stack.
It's a double stack 9mm 1911, and it caught a bunch of people unaware, and a lot of people were very impressed, and like you said, it went viral yesterday.
It's been a huge hit for us.
And talk to us about what's special about this one.
Is it right that it's actually a metal chassis with a polymer overlay?
What's the carrying capacity?
Give us some of the basics for those who are caught unawares like I was, Michael.
No, happy to do that.
So basically, like all Springfield 1911s, it features primarily forged steel parts for strength.
So what you have is you have a forged steel slide, you have a forged stainless steel match grade bull barrel, and you have a forged section of the frame that we call the receiver that has the Picatinny rail.
Attached to that is our polymer grip module.
And it features the adaptive grip texture that was made popular on the Hellcat.
It is that polymer grip module that allows us to fit a double stack 9mm magazine in.
And the magazines that come with the guns are one flush fit 17 round magazine, and one extended 20 round magazine.
And if you'd like, you can also purchase 26 rounder magazines for it.
If 20 isn't enough, you got to go with the 26, right Mike?
Well, it's always good to be prepared.
We like to give our customers options.
Now there is, there have been for several years now, very high-end, high-capacity 1911s out there, modular as well.
A lot of them were race gun in origin, very fancy bells and whistles and brakes and you name it.
Who is this aimed at?
What is the market here?
And if I'm right, I've yet to shoot one and I can't wait, you're gonna come in significantly lower cost than some of these fancy race guns, correct?
Yes, and I'm glad you brought that point up.
As you mentioned, guns in this class can be a thousand, if not thousands, more than the price that we've hit with the Prodigy.
And the price that we've hit with the Prodigy is an MSRP of $1,499.
That's $1,499.
And that comes in easily a thousand under any other... Yeah, there's nothing that's high-end, high-cap, 1911 in that price range that I know of right now.
Nothing.
No, and what you're getting from that is you're still getting the Springfield quality, you're still getting forged steel parts, and you're getting a gun that is a solid foundation for it can be a range gun, it can be a defensive gun, it can be the basis for a competitive gun, it can be pretty much anything you want it to be.
I've shot it, I've had several of my writers for the Armory Life shoot it, it shoots well.
Alright, so if you're law enforcement, if you're home defense, if you're competitive, this gun could fit the bill in its various configurations because there's what?
There's two basic models right now.
There are.
There's a standard 5-inch model.
Anyone familiar with a government model 1911 will be right at home with this gun.
And there's also a 4.25-inch version.
Same price, $14.99.
And both guns are also offered packaged with a Hex Dragonfly Red Dot for $16.99 MSRP.
And we should probably talk a bit about the optics capabilities of the pistol as well.
No, no, do that, please.
Talk about the fact that out of the box it's ready to rock, it's got the capacity to take a red dot, correct?
It does, it does.
And we've had, what it features is it has the AOS plate system, and that stands for Agency Optics System.
Springfield worked with Agency Arms, a very well-known... Very high-end gun, yeah, yeah, absolutely.
Yeah, great deal of respect in the market for that company.
They've developed the AOS plate system exclusively for us, for the 1911DS family, of which the Prodigy is a part of.
And those plates allow you to fit the gun out with a wide range of optics.
And what's very interesting about them is, is each plate comes with an integrated rear sight.
So when you buy the gun, if you buy it with no optic, you get it with a cover plate and you get it with a single optical plate to attach that will fit the hex dragonfly and several other popular optics we also offer other plates in addition for 60 a piece but it gives you a lot of flexibility on how you can fit the gun out for your needs well i'm super excited Springfield Armory is the website.
The only thing I'm more excited about is, in the future, when you guys actually upgrade it to a man's caliber, like a 10mm.
But keep me posted, buddy.
Keep doing what you do.
Congratulations.

This is Second Amendment Friday on America First with Dr. G. - Right.
Welcome back, dear friends.
Welcome back, dear friends.
Jack Karr, Terminalist, former SEAL, is going to launch our Manhood Hour next.
Don't go anywhere.
If you enjoy the show, make sure you are subscribed everywhere we are on social media, as well as, of course, to the podcast platform, Spotify.
Karr Firearms also If you want to have the very best US-made 9mm that is as small as a PPK, check out the one that I carry, the PM9.
Car Firearms is fighting for America and their executives stand with us here on Friday's celebration of the Second Amendment.
I'm at carfirearmskahr.com.
So I have to ask.
I still don't believe it.
Mr. G, this cut from Tim Ryan, you're sure?
You can guarantee for me you vouch safe that this isn't a deep fake and this is actually really him?
No, that's true, that's him.
Alright, tell everybody who Tim Ryan is and why this is a funny cut.
He is running for the Senate against J.D.
Vance and he's a lifelong Democrat.
So he's running for the Senate as a Democrat, which is weird because this is what he said on camera as a Democrat.
Cut at 11!
You don't advertise that you're a Democrat.
Is that because it's an implicit recognition that it's a liability here?
Yeah, well, I mean, the Democratic brand, as we know, and you and I have talked about this for a long time, is not good in a lot of these places.
The Democrat brand isn't good.
So what's he running as?
Is he running as a Tory or a Whig, Jeff?
How is he running?
What's his political identity?
I think the most important part of this is every time you hear the media say JD Vance is in trouble, he's not doing well, they're lying to you.
His opponent won't even say what party he belongs to.
That is absolutely hilarious.
Alright, here's something that's also very funny.
I'm going to use it in a juxtaposition to What Biden did last night, calling 74 million Americans who love this nation, who support President Trump, fascists.
He's talking about people like this little girl.
Cut 14.
Who's the greatest of all time?
Donald Trump.
Who's our president right now?
Joe Biden.
But what's he doing?
What's he doing?
How's he doing it?
How's he doing it?
We're in a little lab.
Whoa.
What do we call him?
Creepy Joe.
What do we call him?
Creepy Joe!
What's he doing?
Screwing up the economy!
That's what he's doing.
God bless that little girl.
That is a girl that will go far.
But yeah, she's a fascist because she supports President Trump.
That's what Biden said yesterday.
If you support President Trump, if you're MAGA, you're the extremist.
You're the clear and present danger.
Now more than ever, it's up to you.
It's up to us.
They're in the minority and we can't defeat them, but we need brave men and women.
What does it mean to be a brave man?
Well, that's going to be the topic of our first episode, The Manhood Hour, next with none other than Jack Carr.
Stay with us for more one-on-one with Lee Smith after these messages.
We'll be back one-on-one with Lee Smith, the author of The Permanent Coup, here on America First after this break.
Stay with us for more one-on-one with Lee Smith in a moment.
Don't go anywhere!
Stay with us for more from Lee in a moment.
Welcome back to America First one-on-one with the author of The Plot Against the President, Lee Smith.
You're listening to America First one-on-one with me, Sebastian Gorka, and our special guest, Lee Smith.
This is America First one-on-one with the author of The Permanent Coup, Lee Smith.
Oh, can you send me the live stream link?
Yep.
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.
Can we meet?
I've been working with Greg Phillips.
He has a deep background in election intelligence.
True The Vote has the largest store of election intelligence for the 2020 elections in the world.
No one has more data than we do.
We identified in Atlanta 242 mules that went to an average of 24 drop boxes.
But Philadelphia alone, we've identified more than 1,100 mules.
What is a mule?
This is not grandma out walking her dog.
Bad backgrounds, bad reputations.
They are interested in one thing, that's money.
This is organized crime.
Four million minutes of surveillance video around the country.
What you're about to see is disturbing.
So this is one o'clock in the morning.
Don't we all vote at one 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.
2000 Mules.
In select theaters May 2nd and 4th.
Virtual premiere, May 7th.
Stream May 8th.
Stream May 8th.
Do not adjust your sets, as the saying goes.
You are still listening to America First, but we are launching, oh my gosh, have we been waiting for this for a long time, our brand new element.
It is the Manhood Hour, dropping every Friday, and we are delighted.
What better guest?
If we can't get Dirty Harry on the show, we're gonna make the man who has created a Media phenomena!
With his books and now the TV show.
You know the show.
It's called The Terminal List.
And he's former SEAL Jack Carr.
Jack, welcome as our first guest to the Manhood Hour.
Wow, I am honored.
I mean, that intro is pretty powerful.
I mean, you got the Duke up there.
You got Clint Eastwood up there.
That's pretty solid, right?
I like it.
I like it.
All right.
We appreciate it.
I'm so glad.
You've come out of hiding.
You were in some OP somewhere, working on some script or some book, and I bugged you, and I bugged you, and I said, Guy, you've got to be the first guest!
And he graced us with our presence.
We're so excited.
We've got some questions, some standard questions we're going to ask all of our guests, but first, I've got to do a little bit of mea culpa.
You came on my show for a couple of segments right at the beginning.
So exciting when Terminal List was becoming this stratospheric success.
Of course, it is totally toxic.
The masculinity just oozes out of every pool.
We love it.
We also love Chris Pratt's portrayal.
But after you came on my show, you had the audacity to go on my favorite podcast, Andrew Klavan's show, And I don't know, I guess because he's a storyteller who's written scripts for people like Clint Eastwood, he got to a part of you that I hadn't.
hadn't delved into.
Let's start, let's talk about you before we get to what is manhood and what's your take on it.
And it's about a photograph I saw of you online sitting, I guess, in your home with this massive bookcase full of books behind you.
And I thought, you know, I've worked with the Green Berets for over a decade.
I've briefed the guys at Dam Neck, Little Creek, Coronado.
I know Seals pretty well, as well as the Green Berets.
They never struck me as, you know, hugely bibliophiles, but you have an interesting story about who your mum was and why you are such an avid reader that fills into your capacity to tell stories about warriors.
So, for those who missed Andrew Clavin's show, tell us about your passion for the written word, Jack.
Well, yeah, really stems from my earliest days.
My mom was and still is to this day a librarian.
So we grew up with books and a love of reading.
And I still have most of those books that I grew up with.
Some of them are in the shelves that are behind me in that photo you referenced.
But there are a lot more books than that in boxes all over the place.
And I'm about to get them all organized and moved into an actual library.
But we grew up with reading and it was natural, just as natural as sitting down to dinner or going for a hike or whatever else.
It was just a natural, it wasn't forced upon us.
It was a natural part of our upbringing.
And I found out what I wanted to do very early on in life.
This, I had this call to serve.
And a lot of that was just innate, but some of it came, I'm sure, from pictures of my grandfather who was killed in World War II.
I have pictures of him with his Corsair fighter plane.
So that's the one that had the gold wings that would fold up like that.
There was a show in the late 70s, early 80s called Black Sheep Squadron with Robert Conrad portraying Pappy Boynton.
And it was kind of my connection and my dad's connection to that generation.
So I knew I was headed into the military, but at the ripe old age of seven, I found out what SEALs were.
And my mom, of course, took me to the library.
We researched seals, found out about their history.
And in the early 80s, there wasn't much written.
You could read it in about an hour.
And today, obviously, you can spend the rest of your life reading about special operations, but not back then.
And so I was set on the path.
But then by about fifth grade, that's when Hunt for Red October came out.
And then for sure, by sixth grade, when I'm 11, I'm reading the same books as my parents.
I'm drawn to those because a lot of the protagonists, if you remember, the main characters in books in the 80s and 90s, they had a background, well, background that I wanted in real life one day, but typically it was the Vietnam veteran.
He was a Navy SEAL.
He was an Army Special Forces guy, CIA paramilitary, Marine sniper.
So I'm reading books by Tom Clancy, Nelson DeMille, A.J.
Quinnell, J.C.
Pollack, Mark Olden, all these authors who had that background for their protagonists.
And so I'm reading these in my very formative years, and I knew that one day after my time in the military, I would write thrillers just like that.
It's stunning.
That story is really an encapsulation of the American way.
You found something you had a passion for, you identified your own mission at a very young age, and you went after it, you became a SEAL, and now you are a world-famous author.
So it's an incredible story.
I'm going to dive straight in.
I think the reaction to your TV show gives us a clue, but the first question I have for you in the Manhood Hours inaugural episode is, Jack Carr, is masculinity in trouble?
Maybe in certain circles, but it's only in trouble if it is because we're so comfortable and we're in such a place of affluence and maybe a little bit of naivete as well, where it can be.
For most of human history, it couldn't be because you had to defend this gift of life that you've been given.
You had to defend that same gift that's been given to your spouse, your children, your community, your tribe, your country.
And then you had to put also food on the table.
And a lot of those same tools that were used to put food on the table were also the ones used to defend that gift of life, to defend your tribe, your country, your family.
So only now for the slimmest slice of human history have we been able to think we can dial 911 and someone will come to our aid or go down to the grocery store, pick something off the shelf and serve it to our family that evening with no thought to where it came from, how much work went in to making that chicken appear on your dinner table.
So for most of human history, you've had to be good at those things, the fighting and the procurement of food.
But today, maybe you don't have to be until you do.
Until you do.
On that note, we have an amazing clip we'll play for you in a moment.
One of the best lines from the TV show.
I asked for something really, really powerful from my producer, Jeff, and he came through with it.
You say comfort, perhaps, is one of the issues.
Of all the issues out there, whether it's ideology, whether it's wokeism, whether it's the influence of a liberal Hollywood The breakdown of the classic family unit marriage or the decline of faith in America.
Of all these, do you see one that's more important than the others in terms of the damage it has wrought to the role model of the men that we showed at the opening of this show?
Is it faith?
Is it comfort?
Where do you think the locus, to put it in military terms, where's the center of gravity for our enemy in this war on men?
There's a few things there, but that family unit obviously is the most powerful, most essential element of building any society.
But the education system is really the one that jumps to the forefront of my mind.
Of course, we have a lot of issues.
And there's also people who benefit from us having these issues and having this division, namely tech companies and the political elite on this side.
So we have this L ambush.
That most of society is walking right into because we have to live, we have to have businesses, we use these tech companies for the business side of the house, and obviously we elect representatives to government.
But we're walking right into this L ambush here.
And those two elements, they benefit from that division.
Politicians to galvanize spaces, obviously tech companies first for profit, and secondly now to impact behaviors and Thoughts.
So we do have that, but really the education system is one that jumps to the forefront because there are so many issues with it.
And then COVID, of course, has thrown gasoline on this fire.
And when it comes back to reading, we talked about reading, how important that was to me.
And when you look at some of these statistics, I was just looking at them this morning, when it comes to reading and where our country is.
Let's say this, for my fourth novel, The Devil's Hand, I put myself in the enemy's shoes.
And it started before COVID in 2019, and I thought, what has the enemy learned by watching us on the field of battle for these last 20 years?
And that's how it started.
Then COVID hit.
And I thought, well, the enemy is certainly taking notes on our response to COVID.
Then a summer of civil unrest unfolds.
Well, the enemy's just not looking at this and going about their business.
They're drawing lessons and figuring out how they can incorporate those into future battle plans.
Then a very contentious political season is upon us and a contentious election cycle.
So the enemy is learning from all those things.
And my takeaway was, it was pretty depressing.
And it was, well, if I was the enemy right now, and by enemy I mean Russia, China, North Korea, Iran, super empowered individuals, terrorist organizations.
If I was one of those entities, I might not do much right now because we're doing a job of destroying ourselves from the inside.
And of course, that doesn't make for a very dynamic novel.
So I had to get creative on how to move the action forward.
But that was my takeaway.
We're doing a pretty good job of destroying ourselves from the inside.
And who benefits, really?
Those politicians and those tech companies.
And the rest of us are stuck here in this ambush trying to figure it out.
It's like Lincoln warned us.
A house divided cannot stand.
You've got to go to his website.
He is the author of The Terminalist, Jack Carr, former SEAL.

Here it is.
The epic tell-all clip from the Terminalist TV show.
Play cut.
This can't go on forever, Reese.
Not forever.
Just tell I'm done.
What is that?
When the people who killed my family are on the f***ing ground.
That is part of, maybe a fictional character, it doesn't matter, but that is part of being a man.
That is justice.
That you will see justice done.
That injustice motivates you.
And when something has to be done, you will do it.
That's just one, one, one aspect of it all.
Jack, tell us, give us your definition as somebody who's put, breathed life into these characters.
What else does it mean to be a man?
What are the non-negotiables to being a true man in whatever age?
Well, strength is the first thing to come to mind.
And as part of that strength, it's physical courage, but also moral courage.
And those things are woven together.
And it's really about character.
And if you see to that character, then your reputation will take care of itself.
So it's really all about character.
So what builds that character?
Typically adversity, going through some sort of a crucible, a test.
But what does that all come back to?
What forms that basis of that character is that example, that family unit, those people that are around you in your earliest, from your earliest times, your most formative years.
I'd say that's what it is.
But physical courage and mental courage going hand in hand together, forming the basis of your character.
But you have to do things.
You just can't sit around and hope these things happen to you.
You have to go out there.
And that's why there were so many crucibles, really, from the beginning of time all the way up to today.
When we look at Marine Corps boot camp or SEAL training or Army Special Forces Q course, people are looking to be tested.
And that's something that's innate.
It was naturally a part of most cultures.
You had to pass some sort of a test before you could be Part of the tribe.
You had to add value to that tribe to be a part of it.
And that's the same thing today.
People are drawn to it, even if we're not told that it is part of the things that we should do.
For some reason, we're drawn to these tests.
And only because, as we talked about earlier, that we live in the time that we do and in the society that we do, that you can get away with not testing yourself and just kind of floating through life.
But you're not really adding value.
Not to those around you, not to the country, And you're not moving the ball forward.
But it really comes down to that character.
That character is who you are.
And you get to decide also.
You get to decide how you are going to impact those around you.
You can be a positive influence, or you can be the opposite of that.
And today, with social media, it's not just the people in your physical circle.
Your circle can obviously be a lot bigger virtually.
Which also presents a problem when you're looking at the other side.
And I often think back to at the end of the Civil War, had we had social media, and had we been able to continue dividing ourselves virtually 24 hours a day, would we be the country that we are today?
That's a very, very good question.
For me, the greatest influence growing up as a young boy, young man, were, to a lesser extent, my grandfather, a real patrician, a classic man amongst men.
And then my father, who resisted communism, was betrayed, was tortured, and then escaped from a communist prison cell.
For you, who are the seminal characters in your youth who gave you that sense of, yeah, that's what I want to be?
Luckily, I got to dive into the pages of these books, and I had characters both real in the nonfiction side of the house and imagined in the fiction side of the house, both Can be very powerful.
One of our most powerful exports used to come from Hollywood all around the world.
And people would look to these images and say, wow, I want to come to America.
I want that opportunity.
That's changed a bit over the years, of course.
But for me personally, a lot of it comes down to my grandfather.
And I didn't know him, obviously, because he was killed in World War Two.
But I had the silk maps that they used to give aviators back then.
If you had a paper map, it would disintegrate when you hit the water.
So I had his silk maps.
I had his I had photos of him and his squadron.
I had his aviation wings.
I had all of those things.
And that was really another connection that I had to that generation.
But then, through books.
Baba Black Sheep by Pappy Boyden.
That was one I read early on and I got to meet him at an air show and shake his hand before he passed away.
But all those books, they really did make an impact.
And not just the books, but TV shows and movies.
The power of popular culture is a real thing.
And when you have people that you look up to, like some of the people that you had in the intro, or a generation in the 80s, when we're watching First Blood, or Rambo, or Rambo 3, or Commando, or Predator, we're looking up to these people and it is having an impact.
There's a reason that Navy recruiting got such a boost after Top Gun came out in 1986.
The power of popular culture is a real thing, and I saw it on this last book tour because my first book came out in 2018.
That means if someone was 16, 17, 18, 19 when they read it, they could now have been in the military for a few years.
And people came through that line to shake my hand and thank me and say that they joined the military because they read one of my novels.
And I didn't quite know how to take that, but once again, power of popular culture.
It's a real thing.
I have to ask you, were you the odd man out?
Were you the ugly duckling in your SEAL squadron that you were so into books and so literary?
Or did you find other people who shared that passion?
I'm just curious.
Well, you know, when you're in the team room, you're not surrounded by your personal books.
So people that came over to my house or my apartment at the time, they'd see books everywhere.
and that's just been a natural part of my life.
But I'm also not just reading these thrillers.
I'm also studying warfare from a very early age.
Anything nonfiction on specifically terrorism, counterinsurgencies, insurgencies, I'm reading all those things because I know my path, and I know that I'm going into the military, and I know that the wars of the future are going to be focused on terrorist groups.
Growing up in the 80s and remembering the Time Magazine and Newsweek and the newspaper headlines with the Beirut barracks bombings in 83, TWA 847, Pan Am over Lockerbie, all these different things were very impactful.
And I would study them and I would study terrorism.
I would study these different terrorist groups.
That has never stopped.
And that also helped form the basis for these novels because I'm reading the thrillers, I'm studying the nonfiction side of the house, now I have this real world experience in Iraq and Afghanistan.
That all comes to a head when I start writing.
But to be a leader in the military, uh, it was just, it was also my duty to study these things, to study, uh, the culture of where we're going as well.
Um, so I can make the best decisions under fire for my guys that I possibly can.
Reading is a part of that.
Understanding the enemy is a part of that.
Understanding them so you can anticipate how they're going to adapt to what you're doing.
Because warfare, as we know, it's a game of adaptation and you're capitalizing on momentum.
You're looking for gaps in the enemy's defenses.
And that's your duty as an officer to a study or anybody in the military.
To have studied that enemy and to make the best decisions you possibly can for the guys that you're leading into combat.
For those who are listening to this podcast and not watching us on Rumble, he's sitting in front of the crossed hatchet symbol and he's got a very nice double-barreled hammer gun on the wall.
Let's have a little shout-out for one of the stars of the terminal list.
It is the combat hatchets that are used by the star, Chris Pratt.
They are from Winkler Knives.
This is not a paid promotion.
I'm just very, very impressed with that website.
Oh, he's got one in his hand right now!
Look at that!
Nicely, nicely done.
A bit of product placement.
Winkler knives.
It is a throwback to a less subtle age, but it is just as an effective a weapon.
I'm a big, big Second Amendment gun guy.
We'll talk about that next.

That's Rumble.com slash S-E-B-G-O-R-K-A.
So I broached the issue of being a warrior of weaponry, Jack.
Talk to us the bare minimum.
Not everybody is going to be a SEAL.
Not everybody is going to be a, you know, Delta Tier 1 operator.
But if you're a man, there are certain things you have to do.
You have to, you know, be fit.
You have to be prepared to use violence if necessary.
I'm very grateful this is a product placement.
I've lost 40 pounds in the last three months.
First time ever in 20 years a diet that worked for me.
Thank you, Dr. Ashley Lucas.
I'm going to plug her because she's a rock star.

If Gawker can do it, that's my brand new suit.
If I can do it, where's the photograph of me with my Mustang, Eric?
Let's put that one up there.
That's what it feels like to be 40 pounds lighter.
Go to myphdweightloss.com.
Jack, where does fitness or just self-discipline, the old, you know, Seal Standard or the Jordan Peterson, tidy up your room and make your bed before you bitch and moan about somebody else?
So, what are the minimum requirements for being taken seriously as a man?
Well, that is a very good question.
And today, obviously, it comes down to what we talked about earlier.
But, and that's only because you can get away with it without being in shape these days.
But once again, we saw at the beginning of COVID just how fragile society is.
And that's why travel is so important, I think, because you get to go around the world and you get to really experience how fragile society is, can be, and And really appreciate what we have in this country.
One, on the stability side of the house, although we did get a little wake-up call during COVID on that.
But also as far as options and opportunities that we have here that are available nowhere else in the world.
And that's why people want to come here.
And then you get to think back about history and you get to think about all the sacrifices that were made so that we can have these options and opportunities here.
All the people who sacrificed their lives so that we could be here today making our own decisions, not being told what to do, not being born into a caste system, but really forming our own opinions on things and making our own decisions, living with the effects of those decisions, learning from them if we have failures along the way, but really getting to build what we want to build in this country.
So travel being is so important, but that How fragile society is.
Sometimes it takes an event and we had it for a split second at the beginning of COVID.
And I think people were worried.
Wait a sec.
If I do call 9-1-1, maybe someone's not going to be here to come save the day.
Not that they would be there anyway, because they're going to arrive late and write reports on things.
But maybe I should learn.
I've been meaning to learn how to use a firearm as a husband.
Maybe that's something that I should do.
OK.
And then things started to get a little bit more lax.
Food started to come back into the grocery stores.
And people got back in their normal routines.
But for a split second there, people started to think about self-reliance and what we're going to do if there wasn't food in the grocery store or if there was no one on the other end of that call, if they called 9-1-1.
Like, hey, do I have fire extinguishers in the house?
Do my kids know how to use them?
Does the babysitter know how to use them?
Maybe we should build a fire outside with the kids and go show them, show my 11-year-old how to use a fire extinguisher in case I'm not home.
That sort of thing.
So these little... How much food do we have in the house?
How much water do we have?
And not crazy prepper type stuff.
This is just normal things that you would have had to do for most of human history.
Be prepared.
Do I know how to use a tourniquet?
What do we have in the house as far as medicines go and first aid kits go and trauma kits go?
Do I know how to use any of this sort of thing?
So those questions people asked at the beginning of COVID, but That's kind of got we got back into the comfort zone again, but someday there will be something that happens an event natural or otherwise that will necessitate us being a little more self-reliant and it's our responsibility as citizens of this country and as we're talking about manhood on this podcast as men to be as prepared as As possible.
And that all depends on your comfort level, where you live in a city, in the country, that sort of a thing, what family members you have around, what your community is like.
So it's gonna be a little bit different for everybody, but the baseline is being prepared.
Yeah, it's just basically common sense.
But it also, you're so right to put it into the context of the last two, two and a half years as an immigrant to this country, as somebody who chose to come here to become an American citizen and still sees it.
There's the greatest nation on God's earth.
I am very saddened by the general lack of courage I've witnessed amongst my fellow Americans when it's, you know, one restaurant owner in California, one gym owner in New Jersey who says, no, no, no, you're not shutting down my business.
I get to feed my kids.
Employees get to feed my kids.
That should have been Americans in general.
Because that's how America was built.
Rugged individualism.
The pioneer spirit.
And that's what you're going to find if you read the terminal list.

You heard Jack just a few moments ago, ladies and gentlemen, say that you've got to have a plan B.
You've got to be prepared.
You've got to be organized.

All right, last couple of questions for you, Jack.
First things first, life advice.
I don't know if you've written a book.
Maybe you should do a little bit of a life advice book.
But if a young man comes to you, where do you start?
Tell you what I tell to men and women who come to me for career advice.
I'm not a SEAL.
I'm not a snake eater.
I served in the British Army Reserves in an MI unit, but my thing has been national security for about 30 years now.
And I say to the kids, I say, hey, I don't care if you want to be a neurosurgeon.
I don't care if you want to be an artist or what I did for years, which is CT counterterrorism for the DOD.
Here's my one piece of advice for you.
Put the stinking phone down.
and read a book every day and preferably a book by a dead guy who's been dead for let's put it at Shakespeare a guy who's been dead for at least 400 years ideally a book that was written a few thousand years ago by a greek dude in a toga if you if you spend time with real books every day You're going to be a success.
I'm sure you agree because you are a bibliophile.
What else would you say are just these little hacks that everybody needs to know, Jack?
Well, you're right about that.
Stop tweeting and start reading.
That is kind of my thing that I pass along to as many people as I possibly can.
Obviously, social media does have benefits, but it is also a time suck and pulls you away from doing those things that are important, that are going to make you a better person and a better citizen.
A better spouse, a better father.
Jumping on Twitter and scrolling through Twitter and Instagram, probably not going to do that.
But it's also important who you follow on those platforms as well.
Following people that are always negative or asking the question, I think, what is this person or this entity, what action do they want me to take based on what they're doing right here?
And if anything is too negative, I just get rid of it right away.
Same thing with people in life as well.
If they're not adding value to your life, to your family's life, they have got to go.
We only have so much time on this planet.
You don't know if it's 5 minutes, 5 years, 50 years.
You have no idea, but you know it's limited.
And that's why I put so much time, energy, and effort into Whether it's a tweet, whether it's an Instagram post or any sentence in my novels, a blog post, whatever it may be, I know someone has trusted me with their time and they're never getting that time back.
And it's something I take very seriously.
But as far as advice goes, putting that investment into that, this country, that if we all did that, some sort of service, that we would be a much more powerful country because now we've invested in this thing that is giving us so much.
And what is it giving us?
Freedom to make our own choices.
But if you're investing in that now, now you're part of it.
Today, you don't have to invest in it.
You can just be a recipient of and your behaviors can be directed by people who do have the power, namely those tech companies and those politicians that we discussed.
Essentially making you a puppet on your one ride on this planet.
So I think realizing that is of extreme importance.
And then the other thing that I tell my kids I say never miss an opportunity to make somebody's day.
And I think if you go through life with that, and at least somewhere in your head, then you're not just working on yourself, but you're having a positive impact.
on those around you.
I love that last one.
I've never heard it put so succinctly.
But, you know, service is, of course, key to our civilization, to the Christian message.
But making somebody's day, not in Dirty Harry's way, I think, but to make somebody's day every day is a great message.
I'm also curious about what you said.
Situation dependent.
Situation dependent, absolutely.
I'm also intrigued.
I didn't expect you to say what you said about travel.
So, my son, was a D1 athlete, didn't get into the school he wanted to go to.
And we didn't know that he basically said, I'm not going to any other college.
I want to go to that college.
And so he took a year off and he traveled the world.
He worked in Africa.
He worked in Australia.
He worked on a marine reserve in Belize.
And he'd never traveled without us.
And then he got into the school that he wanted to get into.
And a year later, his coach said to me, D1 coach said, you know, I wish everyone on our team would take a year off like your son Paul did.
So that travel component, you recommend that for any young man?
Absolutely.
We have actually a family member that is doing that as well.
Paying his own way, working jobs here and there, learning so much.
I mean, he's in Peru, he's in Europe, he's in Africa, doing these amazing things, living in little huts on the side of a hill in Kenya, learning so much, experiencing so much, and same thing, then he'll continue college after that.
Life does get in the way at some point from those kind of things.
You have responsibilities that probably will pile up as you get older.
So the earlier you realize the value of travel and that you don't have to be so crazy well off to do it, you can do it and you can work your way through it as you go along.
I know multiple people who have done that with essentially zero.
And they've gone and they've done these odd jobs here and there as they've traveled around the world.
And 10 years from now, 20 years from now, 30 years from now, the benefit of having done that, I mean, you can't put a price tag on that.
So the travel is of vital importance and you don't have to just think it's something that only the elite can do.
You can do it too.
Love it.
Great message.
We're talking to Jack Carr, the author of The Terminal.
Let's follow him at JackCarrUSA.
Also go to his website, OfficialJackCarr.com.
Read the book, so I'm into the first.
I love the show, so I got the book.
I'm listening to the book now.
He knows how to do characters.
He knows how to do dialogue.
Why?
Because he read!
That's what he did.
He knows how to tell a good story, like so few conservatives and patriots out there.
Dear friends, millions of Americans are waking up to a country they simply do not recognize.
As they struggle to raise their families and pay the bills, the media and the corporations are saying that they're the problem with America.
Thankfully, there are some companies that still believe in America and are not woke.
One of them is Patriot Mobile, the only Christian conservative cell phone company in America.
They believe in the First Amendment, the Second Amendment, the sanctity of life.
They don't give millions of dollars to Planned Parenthood like the other phone companies.
Make the switch today.
I did.
The second, the January 6th committee, the show trial committee, subpoenaed my phone records.
I said, Verizon, you're done.
I switched my whole family over.
I kept my old numbers.
You can too.

All right, last question or two.
And then he has to get back to being the mega success he is and hanging out with, you know, people you may have heard of like Chris Pratt.
Actually, I have to send you a copy of my book.
So I'm going to get a mailing address and I'll send you, Chris, a copy of My War for America's Soul.
Last question.
This is from my wife, who, you know, behind every great man is a greater woman.
Are you optimistic, Jack Carr?
Or are you pessimistic for the future of manhood in America and in our civilization?
Can it be brought back from the brink?
This is something I actually think about a lot.
Publicly, I try to remain as optimistic as possible.
I'm a fairly optimistic type person in general, looking for the good as much as I possibly can.
But with everything going on, sometimes that's difficult because there are so many inputs these days that we didn't have before.
These different inputs are not necessarily the most positive.
And we have to be, these days, if you are a business owner, you have to have a storefront.
And a lot of times that storefront really is Electronic.
It's virtual.
That's your storefront to the world in many cases.
So I try to remain optimistic.
And what does give me hope is what I talked about a little bit earlier, going back to the end of the Civil War, how divided we were and then what happened to bring us back together.
So that is what gives me hope.
And so I try to think about that if I ever get discouraged and think about how we've been in these situations before.
The answers are in the pages of history.
I wish we could just go back to them and by we I specifically mean some of those people who we elect to represent us in DC and the bureaucrats that they put into different positions that stay there for so long.
I wish that people would spend more time in the pages of history because The answers are there.
We can take those lessons and apply them going forward as wisdom, not just in four or eight year election cycles, but 10, 20, 30, generationally.
And that's really what we owe the next generation.
We're not making these decisions.
These votes that we cast aren't really for us.
They're for our children and our grandchildren.
And that's a responsibility for our generation, is to hand them over the same freedoms that we enjoyed.
And right now, it's tough.
The answers are in the pages of history.
And last question to those who read your books, watch your TV show and who want to become you or join the Brotherhood, want to be a, you know, a James Reese lethal weapon to stand up for liberty, to fight for the most vulnerable in our civilization and who see the military seemingly going woke.
What is your message to them, Jack Carr?
Well, That once again you have to remain positive.
There's only a few places you can go if you want to serve your nation in uniform regardless if it's having some issues right now.
Maybe some of those senior leaders will be held accountable.
This is one of those things that I try to remain hopeful for because we did have accountability in the military up to about 1947 and then it started to trickle off for whatever reason over the years until we got to what we have today where people continue To just fail upward.
But if you want to go down range and serve your country and have these skills, there's only certain things and places that you can go to do it.
Military is one.
But you have to prep yourself for that as early as possible.
And that is being in shape, like we talked about earlier.
Testing yourself every chance that you get.
Learning how to fight.
Getting in the boxing ring.
Getting into jujitsu.
Both those things right there.
Those combinations.
Some of the toughest times I ever had were in the ring or on the mat.
And I thought, There's times in Hell Week when I have that log over my head and I'm on the verge of hypothermia running up and down the beach in Coronado, California.
I thought back to being on the mat and having fresh opponents come in for about an hour and you're just throwing these people all over the place.
They're throwing you all over the place.
And it is a battle.
And I thought back to that many times.
What I also thought back to were those people who stormed the beaches at Normandy, at Iwo Jima.
Those people who did that so that I could be on that beach in Coronado, California, testing myself in this crucible that is Bud's.
And it doesn't have to be the crucible of Bud's.
It can be anything in life.
It can be any dream in life.
But thinking back to what other people sacrificed and the things that they had to go through to give you that opportunity, I think that really puts it in relative terms and then allows you to focus on the task We are living on the shoulders of giants, but we have real men that are protecting us today.
it's what you owe yourself on this one ride on this planet.
We are living on the shoulders of giants, but we have real men that are protecting us today.
Jack has been one of them.
We are very grateful to you, the service you have provided this nation with all your buddies from Bards, For me it was judo and rugby, but whatever it takes, guys.
Now get back to writing those books and those scripts.
This is the first episode of The Manhood Hour, but of course it's a Friday, so we close the show every Friday with the words of my former boss, the 45th President of the United States.
We will not bend.
We will not break.
We will not yield.
We will never give in.
We will never give up.
We will never back down.
We will never, ever surrender.
My fellow Americans, our movement is far from over.
