Thank you.
But if I were going... I don't have a mortgage on this property.
If I was going to put a mortgage on this property, the institutions are going to be coming over.
They're going to go through comparable properties all over Palm Beach or whatever it is, wherever it may be.
Miami.
We have them all over.
We have tremendous properties.
And again, we have very little debt.
The debt we did have, it was paid, current.
The banks made a lot of money.
She's trying to defend banks that got paid off.
She's trying to defend Banks that had unbelievable legal talent.
I will tell you that.
They're very good.
That was President Trump on Fox yesterday evening.
Greetings, friends.
Welcome to the...
America First Show with me, Sebastian Gorka.
Let's talk about that news.
Let's talk about Letitia James, who I guess is now an expert in real estate.
Did you know, did you know that the case she has brought against not only President Trump, but his children as well as the Trump Organization is a civil suit, which is weird.
If he committed a crime, that would be the job of the Attorney General of New York to charge him with a criminal offense.
If somebody wanted to sue him, who had standing as a private individual, that is the reason we have the civil court system.
Why is the Attorney General using a civil action if she can't find evidence of a crime?
Oh, and by the way, what is the charge?
The president overvalued or undervalued properties?
Never happened before in real estate.
But it's strange.
I've bought a couple of houses in my life.
Not many.
I think I bought three houses.
And let me just check in with our producer, Mr. G. When... I think you probably bought a house in your life.
Have you bought a house?
Yes, lots.
Did you get to decide how much it was?
No, that would be the appraisal.
Oh, hang on.
And were you the appraiser or did you have to hire somebody to appraise it?
I had to hire someone that was approved by the bank that I was trying to get the loan from.
That's weird because so did I. I couldn't decide how much the house was worth that I wanted to buy or sell.
Somebody independent of me had to do that.
Well, it's probably different with buildings that are worth like three or four hundred million.
They probably don't care that much about it.
You just make it up, right?
Yeah, exactly.
All right, tell us, you did a little bit of Zillow research for our opening segment today.
Talk to us about what you found out about West Palm Beach and Mar-a-Lago.
Yeah, Leticia James, she likes to go to Mar-a-Lago.
She says it's only worth 75 million that he grossly overvalued it.
But what she does is she doesn't base it on the real estate value.
She bases it on the sales of the club.
And if you actually, if you look at Mar-a-Lago, it runs from the bay all the way to the ocean.
It's a huge property.
Huge.
There's a small oceanfront That is right next to Mar-a-Lago.
And Zillow estimates that just that little one, where you could probably fit 10 inside of Mar-a-Lago, is worth $140 million.
Hang on.
A little slice of property that's next to Mar-a-Lago is $140 million?
Exactly.
And I did a little more research, too.
Forbes, a couple years ago, wrote this whole article that Donald Trump isn't worth anywhere near what he says he is.
So they even downgraded everything.
And they said that Mar-a-Lago was worth $350 million when they were actually trying to downgrade it so everything was worth less.
They're utterly, utterly desperate.
Hey, by the way, do you know how much Bill Barr is worth, the former AG?
Yeah, I think he's worth like 30 or 40 million, isn't he?
Yeah, I talked about my disappointment in the former Attorney General and somebody sent me a deep dive article that I need to... I think I'm gonna have to read it out on air.
We'll save that for next week.
Where they went through all of the special chairmanship, board memberships, consulting services he got after he left the CIA.
People forget.
He doesn't talk about it.
It's so weird.
He was like Chief Counsel for the CIA.
And after that gig, he amassed $40 million.
That fat cat is sitting on $40 million.
I don't know why he goes on Fox News.
I guess he wants to look like a normal conservative.
But even that swamp dweller said Stacey Abrams, not Stacey Abrams, Letitia James doesn't know what she's talking about.
Let's listen to the former Attorney General for the Trump administration, a deep stater himself.
Cut three!
There are times where people may, you know, be conducting legitimate investigations into some of Trump's actions.
But this isn't one of them.
And it is simply true that there are a lot of long knives out for him.
And, you know, people tend to go after Trump, target him unfairly, apply different standards of justice.
And when that happens, I think it has to be called out.
So even he doesn't see the case.
However, Mr. G, did you catch the first sentence of what he said there?
There are things that Letitia James could justifiably investigate.
Did you catch that?
Yeah, he does.
He really does want to see him indicted for some reason.
There's something personal there, don't you think?
Yes, look at January 6th when they would show the clips.
He was having a blast when he was testifying.
Oh, he was chortling.
He was chuckling as he was doing his video testimony.
Alright, let's talk about the other side of the aisle.
It's not really the other side because it's just a union party like Steve Bannon says.
Did you ever wonder?
Were you ever curious whether AOC is really a communist?
If she's just a social democrat or a democratic socialist?
Well, she let it slip out of the bag.
She was talking about having children in the system that we live in.
And what was her enemy?
Yeah, it was capitalism.
The cat's out of the bag, cut nine.
But there are quite a few countries that are really struggling because young people, under the burdens of capitalism and living under a society that's increasingly concentrating wealth among the rich, we're not having kids.
Or we're not having kids at the same rate.
We actually need immigrant populations to help balance things out.
We can't continue to fund Social Security, Medicare, all of this stuff without immigrants.
And it's always been that way.
Always been that way?
What, 2 million illegals in 12 months?
The burdens of capitalism.
And we need immigrants to replace the kids we're not having.
But I thought that was... Hang on.
Eric, are you there?
You like Tucker Carlson, right?
I am a fan of the Tucker.
Yes, I am.
I thought his replacement theory hypothesis... I thought the left said that's a conspiracy theory.
Here's the trick.
It's only a conspiracy theory if you talk about it in a negative way.
If you say replacing the American population, white Americans, what have you, is a bad thing.
You're a conspiracy theorist.
You're a racist.
If you say it's a good thing, oh, then you're just celebrating diversity, like AOC is.
You nailed it.
I think you did.
And as a young American born in America who escaped California and now is here in the swamp, can I ask you, do you share this?
Is it a burden for you to live in capitalism, Eric?
I think I am living a rather burden-free lifestyle in this great system we have here today.
I wonder if she understands what the burdens of living in, uh, ooh, I don't know, Venezuela are.
Or the burdens of living in Cuba or North Korea are.
Burdens for, I don't know, Uyghur Muslims in China.
Not burdens, but...
Poor AOC.
She's got her Tesla.
She's got her congressionally funded apartment in DC.
It must be so, so hard to go from being a barmaid to being a member of the deliberative body.
of the most powerful nation in the world.
When is she going to go off to Venezuela?
Can we do like a Martha's Vineyard deportation?
If they can get rid of the Venezuelans from Martha's Vineyard with the National Guard.
If she finds it so burdensome to live in America, maybe we could get some Military action to get her to go to one of her utopian paradise socialist nations like Cuba.
Come on AOC, put your money where your mouth is.
I'm Sebastian Gorka.
We have an absolutely packed show for you today.
Don't go anywhere.
Stay with us for the whole three hours.
It's going to be absolutely superlative.
And in the meantime, if you are America First, you've got to show that you're a member of America First, the best tribe in the world.
You've got to have a challenge coin.
It's the latest thing at the Seb Gorka store.
It's got the president's face on it.
It's a Stay Frosty Team Maga.
Dr. G, get yours today.
Get your Stay Frosty patches, your America First patches.
And the most popular item right now, it is the Biden The FBI is his Gestapo mug and t-shirts.
It's everything at SebGorkaStore.com.
That's S-E-B-G-O-R-K-A store dot com.
Mike, sorry, back on. - back on. - She's here, she's out there.
Okay, that's fine.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's fine.
I felt a little high energy there.
A little zippy.
That was great.
Bouncing around for a lot of topics there.
I know!
A little different kind of monologue there.
Oh, you wanted... Did we do... No, we did the title for Mark, right?
Yes, we did.
Just need a title for that one.
You wanna do ins and outs?
Yeah, let's do ins and outs.
Okay.
Stay with us for more 1-on-1 with Sheriff Lam after these messages.
We'll be back with Sheriff Lam after this break.
More 1-on-1 with Sheriff Mark Lam and me, Sebastian Gorka, in a moment.
Welcome back to America First 1-on-1 with me, Sebastian Gorka, and Sheriff Mark Lam.
You're listening to America First 1-on-1 with me, Sebastian Gorka, and Sheriff Mark Lam.
Welcome back to America First One on One with Sheriff Mark Lamb and me, Sebastian Gorka.
What's a good title for A?
I mean, it depends.
Do you want to hit AOC?
Do you want to go after bar?
I would imagine probably AOC if I were to take it.
Yeah, AOC.
Now AOC supports replacement theory.
If you... What?
AOC joins Tucker Carlson.
Oh, man.
Okay.
Everything okay, John?
Yeah, I'm just, um, I just don't know what I did with my, uh, gaff tape.
Oh.
The black tape?
Two minutes.
Yeah.
You saw gaff tape in the studio?
No, I borrowed the clear tape, but I put it back.
No, no, Guy was saying he thought he saw it in the studio.
I had it yesterday, I don't know what I did with it.
I just want it just in case I need it.
Welcome, Rumblers!
1,400 of you already!
What's going on, Rumblers?
Hello, Rumblers!
They saw that clip of Trump and immediately wanted to come join us.
Good!
There we go.
Welcome, one and all.
You guys ready for the Salem crossover today in the third hour?
Oh yeah!
With Ceb and Metaxas.
Double dip.
Actually, the fun thing, you two formed the club.
You two are the two-member club of Salem of the only two hosts who are too much for YouTube, apparently.
Oh, is that right?
Yeah, they banned him on YouTube.
He's on Rumble only.
Do you remember what it was?
I think he told me what it was.
Do you remember what it was?
I would say voter fraud, I assume.
Same as us.
I could be wrong, but that would be my first guess.
Alright, she's not here yet.
I think Geoff's still getting her.
Are we coming in with anything?
Um... Yeah, come in- Oh no, come in with the, uh... Dershowitz, cut four.
Dershowitz, cut four.
Alrighty.
And then I'm gonna do PhD.
Then PhD.
No liner, Alex?
No liner.
All righty.
Who are the people who are defrauded here, they claim?
The biggest banks in the world.
Why can't the biggest banks sue them and take care of themselves?
Why does Letitia James have to be out there protecting and defending the biggest banks in the country who haven't sued him at all?
So this doesn't pass the test of a legitimate civil complaint, and I think they should be challenging it very vigorously.
He's no Republican.
He's not a Trumper.
He's Alan Dershowitz.
I think he's still Professor Emeritus at Harvard.
And he says, Letitia James, it's spurious.
You don't have a leg to stand on.
I have two legs to stand on, but they're a little bit lighter than they were a couple of months ago, thanks to Dr. Ashley Lucas and the amazing people at the PhD Weight Loss System.
It is a diet like no other.
It's the only one that's worked for me in 20 years.
Look at that waistcoat.
Look at that vest.
Made for a much larger man.
It was me a long time ago.
40 pounds ago.
A system that just lets your body start burning the fat.
No stupid calorie counting.
No starvation diets.
Find out today.
It is really Look, you just won't regret it.
Hundreds of you have already agreed with me.

That's 864-644-1900, myphdweightloss.
If I can do it, anyone can do it.
How insane are they?
How utterly insane are they?
Wait till you hear what Stacey Abrams had to say in an event.
But before we do that, first caller of the day.
Let's open it up.
To Brooklyn!
Judy, welcome to America First.
Hey, I didn't know you're gonna take calls right away.
Oh look, I saw your name come up and I thought, I gotta take the call!
Well, first of all, I'm calling because of Victor's call yesterday.
It really triggered me, I can tell you.
But before that, you were talking about Letitia James.
How about if she go after real criminals like Governor Kathy Hochul?
She's got like 300,000 paid to play, a real scandal with some sort of $168 million.
She awarded someone because he was a contributor.
It was like, you know, paid to play.
Or the last governor.
Or the last governor, Randy Andy Cuomo.
What about him?
Well, right now, we've got Kathy Hochul.
Why can't she go after her?
You know, because we need the Zeldin in besides her.
But Lachita James, if she's so bored and she wants criminals, let her go after real ones.
Not a fantastic man like President Trump for crying out loud.
I have to get to my first guest who's just arrived in the studio, but tell us about your reaction to Victor's call about his liberal neighbor, Judy.
Okay.
So here's the story.
You know, I want to tell him, Victor, I hope you're listening, because if I were you, I'd say, I'd love to tell these clueless neighbors of his, maybe they should take in some illegals themselves, with such bleeding hearts.
And also, why does he tell them, hey, maybe they're being lied to, and that Victor's listening to the truth, and they could try that for a change?
And, you know, you know, the facts don't don't tell me the facts.
My mind's made up that type of thing.
And ask them, don't you see the food prices and the gas prices since Trump left are out of the like from two dollars gas prices to five fifty seven dollars on and on.
And, you know, like even Biden begging for oil everywhere else when we were independent with President Trump and exports and the whole thing.
By the way, you had this guy on yesterday.
He was fantastic.
American with Indian born parents.
Remember that man?
Oh, Vivek Ramaswamy.
Superb.
Yeah.
He was, he was so fantastic.
I got to tell you something between you and me.
Okay.
The most favorite actor that I am crazy over.
He's the best actor in the world is Shah Rukh Khan.
Look him up.
Shahrukh Khan.
He's a Bollywood actor.
I am not familiar.
I'm writing it down right now.
Shahrukh Khan.
We will continue that discussion, but I've got to move on to the geopolitics of the day.
Thank you, Judy.
Shahrukh Khan.
I've written it down.
Russia.
What's happening?
Are they going to Newcastle?
We're going to talk to Rebecca Koffler.
But first, my colleague, Hugh Hewitt.
He's very worried.
I am troubled this morning.
The lead story, the only story, is that Vladimir Putin has threatened to use nuclear weapons in Ukraine and said he is not bluffing.
So there's lots of news I would do on a normal happy day, but it's not every day that you wake up and see one of the world's most tyrannical, vicious people, who happens to have thousands of nuclear weapons, threaten to use them.
Indeed, I've been doing this show for 23 years and there's never been a threat like that in 23 years.
Hugh, Hugh, Hugh, please stop it.
Talk to some experts who know of which they speak.
We have in studio, I just saw her like moments ago on the screen at Fox, but now she's on a real show.
Rebecca Kerfler, she was in charge of, you know, things Russian at the Defense Intelligence Agency.
Welcome back to America First, Rebecca.
Thank you.
So nice to be back here.
So are we going to be nuked by Crazy Vlad?
Because everybody's so worried and I thought it's maybe not that simple.
When you say I'm not bluffing, it usually means you're bluffing.
So give us your expert opinion.
Unclassified.
Why is he having to mobilize conscripts for the first time since 1945?
And why is he rattling his nuclear sabers?
Well, first off, Dr. Giv, by us you mean the United States, not Europe, then absolutely not.
We're not going to be nuked by crazy Vlad or on any Vlad, because as you know, having worked for President Trump yourself and worked with special forces, the nuclear doctrine has changed.
The Russians have a brand new doctrine called escalate to de-escalate.
It's no longer mad, right?
He is not going to send strategic nuclear weapons into the United States or even in Europe.
What Crazy Vlad is talking about, or implying rather here, is the detonation of a low-yield Tactical nuclear warhead, potentially.
In theater.
Tactical nuke in theater.
So we're talking about on the battlefield in Ukraine.
100%.
And that is because he's cornered.
He is losing as Ukrainians have mounted a very successful counteroffensive With U.S.
help, obviously, both in terms of real-time intelligence targeting and the sophisticated weaponry that gives them longer ranges than they normally have.
And this is why Putin, having believed and concluded that the outcome of the conflict in Ukraine is an existential issue for him personally and for Russia and the Russian security Right?
The way that they have defined it.
That is why he's thinking.
And my assessment is that there's about 30% a little more chance that he will actually go ahead and do that.
Use it tactically.
And the fact that the significance of the first time in 77 years actually mobilizing conscripts, that's not a good sign for him, is it?
No, it's absolutely not, but it's not really going to be saving the situation at this time, right?
Because we're talking mobilization.
It's going to make an effect maybe in a few months, but it does show that Crazy Vlad has a long-term vision for this conflict.
The conflict is not going to go anywhere.
And a long-term commitment, because this is the history of the Russian meat grinder, when you understand that mass or quantity has a quality all of its own.
We're talking to Rebecca Koffler.
You've got to get her book right now, Putin's Playbook, Russia's Secret Plan to Defeat America.
We'll be back with Rebecca.
After these messages, and don't forget, we're on every social media platform bar those fascists at YouTube, so follow us, Truth Social, Twitter, Instagram, you name it, we're there, Facebook, and of course Rumble as well.
After these messages, we'll be back with Rebecca.
Rebecca. - Is it good?
It was great, but it's very short.
These are complex issues.
I know, you've got three minutes.
You feel so rushed, and then you answer one question, and then they ask a completely different question, and then you can't really finish your thought.
And a lot of people I think are just unaware.
Americans are busy working and dealing with issues here domestically.
So I think nobody really understands how close we are potentially.
Re-emphasize this thing that they can go on for years if they want to.
Absolutely, yes.
Then I'm going to ask you a transition.
Everybody thought that Yeltsin would save us from Gorbachev and of course he didn't.
So what are the scenarios for transition?
Is it going to be just what Yeltsin did with Putin?
Is Putin going to find somebody who's going to protect him?
So what are the likely transitions?
It's, you know, it's basically the same.
As you said, for centuries it's the same thing.
It's like a different flavor.
So how's things?
Good, good.
- Oh my God.
- Yeah.
- So how's things?
- Good, good.
- Did your husband try a PhD? - He didn't, but he signed up for Nutrisystem because it gives him like actual food.
Honestly, I don't think it's going to work because he has a very interesting relationship with food.
But whatever.
Good luck.
Maybe it will work, I don't know.
I'm going to do my pillow here, then I'm going to go to Rebecca.
My pillow back to Rebecca.
Yep.
What's your next media?
Today, your last... Yes, I'm happy to, but I need to write a piece, actually.
I'm planning to write an analytic piece, why, like, top, let's see, and we can talk about them if you want, like, top five, four or five reasons why he will do it and, like, one reason why he might not do it.
Do you know where you're going to publish it?
Fox.
Probably tomorrow or the day after.
Right, I have to read a tweet out about commitments to the war in Ukraine that was very interesting.
Where was it?
Here we go, here we go, here we go.
It was Karafano, let me find it.
We're not coming in with anything, right?
Alrighty.
Alrighty.
Thank you.
Thank you.
I know Sebastian well.
Listen to him.
He's with us.
Thank you, Mr. President.
Very, very kind.
Very kind, indeed.
Another friend of the President is, of course, the great patriot Mike Lindell.
You heard the story.
He was on the show the day after last week the Feds cornered him at a drive-thru, boxed him in, and then took his phone.
Why?
I guess because he makes the best pillows in the world.
No, because he's a conservative.
They want to destroy him.
They want to cancel him.
Even Walmart have canceled his products.
Please support this great American right now.
Go to MyPillow.com.
Buy whatever you want.
Use my name and Mike will give you up to 66% off.
Let's have his back.
Let's prove the left cannot cancel a great patriot like Mike Lindell.
Call them 800-829-8468.
That's 800-829-8468.
He's got some great BOGO offers as well.
That's MyPillow.com.
That's 800-829-8468.
He's got some great BOGO offers as well.

Let's show him that we have his back.

We're back with Rebecca Kofler.
She is the author of Putin's playbook, former senior DIA expert on Russia.
Jim Carafano of Heritage tweeted out earlier today, and I retweeted it.
If you look at, what is it, the 27, 28 members of NATO, the highest commitment of aid to Ukraine by members of NATO as a percentage of GDP are the Baltic states and Poland.
Isn't that interesting?
The states that were under the boot of the Soviet Union or invaded themselves, they're the ones helping out the Ukraine the most.
Isn't that telling?
Absolutely, and it's always been that way, Sebastian.
Even when I was in the community, you know, the people who are very responsive and helpful, they assist us, you know, tremendously because they are right there in the theater, if you will go.
They get it.
They get it.
And not Germany, right?
No, no, no.
Germany is in bed with Moscow, with Gerhard Schröder being one of the CEOs of Gazprom.
Exactly!
You're going to leave our studio.
You've been doing media all day.
You said you're going to go off.
You're going to write an analytic piece talking about scenarios.
So people need to read your article.
But first, not nuking America because he's not insane.
He's not suicidal.
But what scenarios under which could Putin consider using low threshold, low yield tactical nukes?
Give us some examples.
So we're exactly right now in this scenario, Sebastian, for which, on Putin's orders, this doctrine was developed in the first place.
Escalate to de-escalate.
The scenario is this.
Putin is losing on the battlefield.
And he is cornered.
The issue with Ukraine is an existential issue for Putin himself personally and his legacy because he deems himself as Peter the Great or Catherine the Great. - The new czar. - The new czar who will gather the lands again and make Russia great again, if you will.
And also, Russia has defined Ukraine and the rest of the former Soviet states, minus the Baltics, that's an important caveat, as part of Russia's strategic security perimeter on which Russia relied for centuries, the doctrine being Trading territory for enemy's blood.
What does it mean?
With the, you know, they always protect the heartland, right?
With the Baltics joining NATO, the distance between Moscow and St.
Petersburg and the nearest natal force has reduced from 1,300 miles to 300 miles.
So this is his buffer or his concept of near abroad.
Exactly.
This is his version of the Monroe Doctrine, which obviously we don't recognize.
We haven't recognized that for decades we're pursuing a bipartisan long-term policy If you remember from your times in the White House, the NSDD, the National Security Decision Directive 75 and 238, that says that we will do everything possible to prevent the emergence of another hostile power, such, and by that we mean Russia or China,
Emerging as a dominant player in Eurasia, and that's left over from the Soviet days.
We are still operating under that presumption because if Ukraine falls under Putin's control, then what's next?
Obviously, the Baltics are concerned that they are next.
So this is why Putin is doing what he is doing, and the Biden administration is committed to helping Ukraine.
But my concern is that our administration is not prepared for the possibility that Putin actually will launch a low-yield nuclear strike.
Why will he do it?
A, it's low yield, it's one-third. - We need to get this lady back.
She actually knows her geopolitics.
We're out of time right now.
Can you come back for an hour next week?
Of course.
Let's walk through the four scenarios.
Let's talk about the question I'm really curious in.
What could be the transition out of Putin?
Is it going to be another New God replaces the old God.
But I'm going to leave you in suspense.
In the meantime, you need to get her book, Putin's Playbook.
She knows of what he speaks.
Russia's secret plan to defeat America.
I'm Sebastian Gorka.
This is the Salem News Network.
Broadcasting from the ReliefFactor.com studios.
ReliefFactor.
Pain relief that works.
Pain relief that's real.
Pain relief that is liberating half a million Americans across the nation right now.
Me included.
But it's not just me.
It's people like Alicia from California.
This is her story.
I'm a grocery store worker and have been working doubles during the coronavirus shutdown.
At 52 years old, my two bad knees were not getting a rest.
I literally limped to and from bed.
Two days into Relief Factor and the pain has decreased substantially.
So thankful for this amazing product.
That should be you.
That could be you.

Take it morning and evening like I do.
And I promise you, Dr. G's guarantee, By the end of those three weeks, you will know whether it works for you like it works for me, Alicia, and half a million of your fellow Americans.
For a long time, it was 22 active duty soldiers or veterans that commit suicide every day of the year, on average. - Yes.
That number during the pandemic has gone up to about 30.
So I think something really needs to be done because it's just not right for these people to risk their lives and then come back and not get all the support they need.
As if 22 veterans a day committing suicide weren't bad enough, the number went up to more than 30 during COVID.
What are we going to do about it?
How can we help them?
There's one organization that is predicated on trying to minimize that number down to zero.
It's Mighty Oaks.
It is run by former combat veterans like Chad Robichaud, who's a great friend of the show, a former force A Recon Marine.
They have multiple ranches across the country where veterans, their families, even active service members can go at no cost to them and just battle those demons, find some tranquility and just help them defeat those dark forces of post-traumatic stress.
Will you help those who've stood on the wall for us and who may not be physically damaged But are clearly, clearly struggling with demons that we deserve to help them try and defeat.
Please make a donation today to the Mighty Oaks Foundation.
They deserve our help, every single one of them.

That is S-E-B-G-O-R-K-A SebGorker.com and at the very top they restore our Warriors banner.
Wow!
What a day!
What a day!
Absolutely moving at the speed of Trump.
That's what we do here.
Now we're going to move to our very good friends at the Job Creators Network.
We have Elaine Parker joining us.
Elaine, I had to ask you, do you like have thousands of employees?
Because every week it seems as if you've come up with a new plan to defend our businesses as America and stop the insanity at the White House.
How do you do it?
We don't have thousands of employees at Job Creators Network, but we do represent 30 million small business owners and the 60 million people that they employ.
So we're fighting on behalf of the small business community, which is very large, as you can see.
All right, I have to ask you, we talked about it last week, but again, I'm still trying to get over, I'm trying to internalize this idea that they're having parties, they're celebrating this Inflation Increasing Act, not Reduction Act, at the White House.
Have you ever seen in your history of helping American businesses this level of being just totally tone deaf?
You know, I didn't think that they could be any more tone deaf until on the very day that they announced inflation is still at a 41-year high and that the stock market was plummeting as a result.
And we were obviously staring at the Fed, most definitely increasing interest rates, which they did yesterday.
To watch them party on the lawn and basically the president proclaim mission accomplished is just amazing to me.
I mean, small businesses are really suffering.
Under this inflation, under the threat of higher taxes, staring at 87,000 IRS agents coming after them fully armed.
You know, it's incredible that this administration continues to just be as toned up as they are.
And that's why at the Job Creators Network, we unveiled our American Small Business Prosperity Plan yesterday with former Speaker Newt Gingrich.
It is an eight-point plan that the new Congress coming in in November that's voted in can get behind no matter what their party is.
They should want to help small business.
It includes making the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act permanent.
It includes unleashing our energy production and making us energy independent as we were before.
The Biden administration came in under the Trump administration.
We were energy independent.
It includes exempting small businesses from onerous regulations and various components like that that support small business.
They are nonpartisan, common sense solutions that every member of Congress should be able to get behind.
Now to fix problems you have to be able to diagnose the problem itself and we have inordinate levels of spin and sometimes it's just ranking competence such as when the press the secretary for the for the white house says the biden administration has created quote 10 000 million jobs which is impressive because that would be 10 billion in a nation of 300 million
When you look at consumer confidence, when you look at the stuff that's being spun every single day, can you give us a sense of the reality of those indices?
Well, look, I mean, the Consumer Price Index came out last week, which measures what the inflation levels are, and it's still showing 8.3% year over year, which means we're paying more for everything from energy to groceries, milk, gas, you name it.
We're all paying a lot more for these goods.
Month over month, if you look at the two months, they're about 8.3%, 8.4%.
Instead of the administration just acknowledging we still have exorbitantly high inflation as a result of their reckless spending, the president goes on 60 Minutes and says, inflation is flat.
Inflation is flat.
It's just complete denial.
And that's fine when you're the president of the United States.
And you're a multi-millionaire, and inflation doesn't really affect you.
But inflation is an enormous tax on our small businesses, on the poor, and on the middle class, who can't afford to make ends meet every month.
And so to hear this president just absolutely be dishonest on national TV, it just, it doesn't make any sense, but it's consistent with what they have done since the day they walked into the administration.
Last question for you.
We're less than two months away from an election.
In the last few weeks, there's always this kind of, look at what the Republicans are like.
Healthcare's an issue.
We Democrats fixed it with Obamacare.
What is a conservative's response to that accusation, Elaine?
Well, look, I think the biggest mistake Republicans can do is stay quiet about health care.
They are very much behind patient-centered, free market health care options.
They have very good ideas.
Job Creators Network has a policy called Health Care for You.
The Democrats readily admit on a daily basis that they broke the system even more with Obamacare because they continue to want to implement and change it even more and make it more socialistic, more government controlled, less choices, more expensive.
And so every time they admit that they want to change it and reform it even more, they're admitting that Obamacare broke it.
All right, you guys are doing incredible work.

Sam the Liberal called in.
Jeff, what was Sam's problem?
I mean, I know he doesn't have any kind of, what is it, stamina, because he only lasts on the line for about 30 seconds.
I think he's got some personal issues there.
But what was Sam's question this time?
He wants to know if you're sad that Trump's going to go to jail.
Oh, because, hang on, what's the phrase, vaping?
The walls have been closing in for how many years?
Six years now.
That's really slow moving walls.
Yeah, but now a civil suit's going to get them.
That's going to put them in jail.
Oh, because of 40 agents with the FBI under Mueller, two impeachments, Southern District of New York criminal charges that were dropped.
Those didn't work.
But a civil suit about the valuation of houses in New York.
That's gonna work.
Is that his logic?
Yeah, that's it.
He's done.
Oh, man.
I'm so worried.
You know what the funniest thing is?
I gotta ask you, because you have fun trolling these guys.
They listen to our show.
Isn't that the funnest part of it all?
And they listen a lot, too.
This guy calls, I think, twice a week.
He's always listening.
Isn't that wonderful?
That they're listening to our show.
Hey, Sam!
You really...
Really amuse us.
We're laughing at you.
Why?
Because we are what Reagan taught us to be.
Happy warriors.
Our fuel always has been, is right now, and always will be love.
Love of our nation.
Love of our God.
And love of the civilization of which we are the pinnacle.
Your fuel Is hatred.
And it's burning you up inside every single day.
And that's why we know that we've already won.
Because sooner or later, you know what?
Love trumps hate.

Obama tore this country down.
No one stood up to him!
Nobody!
Because he was black!
You need to wake up!
My parents didn't teach me that I was a victim.
They can turn back voting rights.
Didn't nobody donate to us the right to vote.
Uncle Tom is somebody who has sold out by embracing the white man.
- I'd be a different. - I'd be a different. - Uncle Tom. - And Uncle Tom is somebody who has sold out by embracing the white man. - Uncle Tom. - Bedwins. - Boot liquor. - Black white supremacist. - Chuck and Java. - House Negro. - Coon. - Uncle Tom. - Coon. - I have a Coon Award over there.
Racist.
Racist.
Most black people don't believe that other blacks can be independent, free thinkers.
I believe the legacy and the ancestry of black Americans is being insulted every single day.
I will not pretend to be a victim in this country.
I know that that makes many people on the left uncomfortable.
Racist.
Racism.
A thousand cuts of racism.
The liberal will try to control a black person through the concept of racism because they know that we are very proud emotional people.
I never felt that because I was black or I was poor or a woman that I couldn't do something.
I grew up being told of my disadvantages, that this country is unfair to black people.
The ideology is implanted into you subconsciously to believe these things.
It's like a cancerous plague in the mind of black Americans.
We're brainwashed to think, well, is it because I'm black?
America's not ours, so we got shipped here.
No, our blood is on this soil.
We own this too.
There should be a pride that we have in the fact that this country was built by many great black men and women.
Are you trying to say that this country does not specialize in racism and bigotry?
So long as black people continue to have their psyche filled by that nonsense, we won't have an awakening.
When you look at these pictures, you get a sense of what black life was like.
Some of them look pretty prosperous.
Divine Providence was clearly operating in the lives of black Americans.
Throughout history, black folks were honorable.
They had integrity.
That's what black people were.
We were never taught that America was bad and that we were not Americans.
We were raised to love America.
Protesters topple a statue of Christopher Columbus.
Hundreds of statues have been vandalized.
You see people trying to rewrite history.
The American people know these names have to go.
Why is that?
Whenever you have something to be proud of, People have less of a chance of controlling you.
This country is racist from top to bottom, from right to left.
And for black people to become a part of that is for them to become, in fact, anti-black and to hate themselves.
You're a part of my friends!
There is no country in this world that a black person would rather be.
Unless, of course, they grow up in this country.
You broke the contract!
We've been playing this game for 400 years!
Then they're fed a lie that is so deceptive The reason that that lie exists is power.
There are certain people who are using the Negro in order to establish that power in Washington.
And the Negro is just merely a pawn in a game that's bigger than he is.
Hey,
let's go! Let's go! let's go! Let's go!
Let's go!
This is America First, and here's your host, Dr. Sebastian Gorka.
Do you know the neologism, the new word, detransitioner?
Welcome, dear friends, this is America First.
Detransitioner should be a word that doesn't exist in our language.
It should not, by rights, exist.
Because it only exists Because of the abuse done to children.
Sometimes there's a topic that makes me think, as the host of a show that pumps out 15 hours of content every week, that all of it should be about that issue.
Now sometimes there are those things that so gut-punch you, you say, yeah, nothing else really matters, this is it.
This is one of those issues that makes me think, well, we should talk about this every single day.
A detransitioner is somebody who, as a child, or as an adult, was convinced to change their sex, was given puberty blockers, chemically castrated, and then, with the aid of doctors,
that have foresworn the Hippocratic Oath and everything that stands for were mutilated.
Had their sexual organs removed or their breasts removed and were told, oh you're a boy now or you're a girl now.
I hate to share with you a video from Chloe Cole who was confused at the age of 12 and told her parents I want to be a boy.
Instead of saying, oh that's cute, just wait till you're an adult to see whether you're just a tomboy or whether you're a lesbian.
Doctors mutilated her and quote-unquote transitioned her.
Now she can never have children.
She's a young woman still.
Reverted, if you want, but she was never a man or a boy.
And she's brave.
And this is just a very, very, very, very small part of Chloe's story.
Over the past decade, there has been as high as a 4,000% increase in children being referred to so-called gender clinics across the United States.
I was one of these children.
My name is Chloe Cole, and I am an 18-year-old former transgender child.
I transitioned from the age of 12 up until 16, when I realized it all was a lie.
My story is a cautionary tale.
Children and parents across the country have been caught off guard by gender ideology.
Discussions about transgenderism and gender identity went from being a relatively benign social oddity to a doctrine that has invaded nearly every academic, medical, and educational institution seemingly overnight.
How did we get to this point?
How did we get to the point where nearly every pediatric institution in the country considers it best practice to remove the healthy breast tissue of children while administering drugs typically used to chemically castrate high-risk sex offenders Raising these important questions is not bigoted, and the refusal of activists to give straightforward answers should be seen as a major red flag.
People across the entire political spectrum who believe that this practice is morally wrong have been told that they are fascists or bigots for even questioning this atrocity.
Others have been convinced by self-proclaimed gender specialists that this is the only treatment that will not end in your child committing suicide.
I believe Americans deserve to know the truth about this radical and perverse ideology marketed as necessary and life-saving healthcare I was only 12 years old when I told my parents that I was a boy.
Like many parents in that situation, they didn't have a clue what to do.
They were scared and desperate for answers.
They wanted what every parent wants for their child.
For me to be okay and thrive.
At 13 years old, on the advice of so-called medical professionals, I was put on puberty-blocking medication.
And only a month later, I was given my first testosterone injection.
The gender clinic presented my parents with the classic false dichotomy regarding children with gender dysphoria.
Would you rather have a dead daughter or a living son?
Giving these options.
What loving parent wouldn't choose to transition their child?
Scared for my life.
My parents were prepared to sign anything the doctors asked.
This was not informed consent.
It was a decision forced under extreme duress.
At 15, I went under the knife for a radical double mastectomy.
The kind that breast cancer patients get.
This was after I was sexually assaulted at school by a male student.
I just told myself to man up, but I lived my life in constant hatred of my breasts.
I started binding, which deformed my breasts as well as my ribcage.
I was afraid, and I couldn't wait to finally protect my body from the threat of further molestation.
At 16, I finally realized what happened to me, and that I had made a huge mistake.
I realized the beauty of motherhood was stolen from me by medical professionals who my family entrusted me to.
I realized after maturing a bit more that a child does not in fact know who they are at 12 years old.
I realized that I wanted to be what I always was and forever will be.
A woman.
With this realization came a series of challenges that were far worse than the transition.
Somehow, I had to get myself off these drugs and tell everyone in my entire life that I was not who I said I was.
My parents were shocked and felt like they failed me on every level imaginable.
My friends all turned against me because I was evidence that their beliefs were a lie.
I was a joke.
I was a fraud.
I was many years behind in development, incapable of feeding my future children, and worst of all, completely alone.
Even the medical professionals who got me into this mess now have no idea what to do with me, and they refuse to help me.
It almost killed me, as it has killed many who regret transition.
As it has killed many who regret transition.
I guess I should apologize for doing this on, you know, afternoon radio, drive time, lunchtime radio.
But I'm not going to apologize.
Because this is the devil's work.
Mutilating a 15-year-old girl.
If a criminal did that to an abducted child, they should be given the chair.
Firing squad.
Killed slowly.
Yes, slowly.
I said it.
But it's being done in hospitals.
It's being done by people who call themselves doctors.
Oh, and by the way, the hospital makes $40,000 per mutilation.
That's without the drugs.
The continual drugs they will have to take for the rest of their lives to artificially try and produce male hormonal blood levels in a biological woman.
Or female hormonal levels in the blood of a male.
Because you can't change your chromosomes.
From the moment of conception, original and unique genetic identity is created that cannot be changed.
From the moment of conception, a new life is created with a DNA set that no one else in the world will have.
And it can't be changed from male to female or female to male.
So, what those doctors are doing, what those parents are doing isn't just evil, it's a lie.
It is an utter fabrication.
And it results in a rate of suicide that no other sector of society has.
Forty percent plus have suicidal ideation after transition.
Why wouldn't you?
It doesn't change you.
It doesn't magically make you happy to have scars on your chest for the rest of your life.
How would it make you happy to realize that as a woman you can never have a child and you, you decided to make yourself sterile At the age of 12, and your parents said, ooh, isn't that lovely?
Yes, let's affirm your psychosis.
I know we have to choose our battles.
I'm not sure.
But perhaps this is just one illustration of why the truth matters.
And why you need to fight for it every single day.
Tell the truth every day.
Stand up for the weakest and the most vulnerable.
Because that's our job.
That's our responsibility.

That's a good question.
Rumble has been asking that same question.
It looks like he's in a hotel room somewhere.
Yeah.
Want to post that one?
Yeah.
All right, what do we want to call it?
What a brave woman looks like, colon.
I'm sorry, I couldn't hear that.
What a brave woman looks like, colon, Chloe Coles.
Yep.
Brave woman looks like Chloe Coles.
Thank you.
Jeff, can you find her?
He's on the phone.
He said he'll try.
Yeah.
Two minutes.
Yes.
I mean, the people are trying to do the pressure.
I was talking to a guy today who passed a ticket from Russia to Baku because .
Are you hearing this about all the Russians who are fleeing?
This is the first I'm seeing of it.
The news about Russians fleeing?
Yeah, they're trying to fly out, you know.
Draft-age males are trying to get out of the country.
Right, so you've got some B-roll of Uncle Tom we can use.
Oh, excuse me, the trailer, yeah.
Alright, is he coming on Skype?
Jeff's dialing now.
Yeah, keep dialing, but he's unanswered.
Have you seen the Iran protest too?
Yeah, I know.
Every time there's protests like that every few years and they just get quashed.
Nothing comes out of it, unfortunately.
Yep.
Is he not responding?
No. No. No.
No.
Thank you.
No violence.
No hate speech.
Just happy warriors on America First.
Watching my buddy Jim Carufano from a hotel room somewhere on Fox News and I'm seeing him tweet a very short sentence.
Bad day to be a genocidal dictatorial regime.
Just saying.
And he's right.
I mean, what is the Chinese curse?
May you live in interesting times.
And if you're living in Russia, if you're living in Iran, that woman who was killed by the purity police in Iran because of hijab being out of place.
What's that resulting in?
Protests all over the nation and then we have in Russia people who are fleeing the draft and more and more protests every single day.
We will keep your prize as soon as Jim is back from Ukraine.
We will have him in studio to give us the lowdown from the battlefield.
In the meantime, thanks to all of you for your kind comments!

You know, I want to talk about this movie every single week on America First because I hope he's not listening.
It's even better than the first one.
Uncle Tom was pretty darn good there.
The sequel is even better.
And he's here with us right now, the man, the legend, the sage of South Central, Larry Elder.
Welcome to America First.
Well, Dr. G, thank you for having me.
Uncle Tom 2 is Godfather 2.
Better than the original.
Nobody thought they could duplicate the original, let alone surpass what we did.
It's like The Empire Strikes Back.
I'm into science fiction.
Star Wars was good.
Empire was even better.
All right, so I'm glad we can laugh about it.
Let's play that b-roll.
You know what really, you know, kind of punched me in the gut with this movie is just the first four minutes.
Just the footage that your guys found Of black families in the 30s, 40s, and 50s.
Just the opulence, the prosperity, the elegance, the self-confidence oozing out of two-dimensional pictures and black and white home movies.
And look, I'm a white dude who's an immigrant to America.
I was pissed of what's happened to that community in America.
How did you guys just find that footage?
Well, it was the director, Justin Malone, who's just an absolute brilliant director.
And our composer's name is Damon Criswell.
He scored both movies.
And again, it gave you kind of the atmosphere of the whole thing.
But you're quite right.
Even after blacks emerged from slavery, when we were talking about lynchings and KKK and Jim Crow, black people still kept moving forward.
Why?
Strong, nuclear, intact family.
It was rare for a black kid to be born into a world without his father married to the mother.
A strong belief in patriotism.
Believe it or not, you read the speeches by people like Frederick Douglass and Booker T. Washington.
They're riddled with praise for American values, Judeo-Christian values, and a belief in entrepreneurship.
And Uncle Tom, too, talks about what's happened.
How did the civil rights movement get hijacked by these leftists Democrats, socialists, collectivists, and Marxists who want to dethrone God.
Marx, of course, was an atheist.
And on the website of Black Lives Matter, we talk a lot about Black Lives Matter in Awful Tom 2, they attacked the nuclear family.
And Karl Marx hated capitalism, let alone entrepreneurship.
So the very things that made black people unable to endure in the face of horrific obstacles, God, family, American values and entrepreneurship are all under attack right now by people like Barack Obama who said America has racism in its DNA.
If that were true, Dr. Gorka, how do you explain how Barack Obama got a higher percentage of the white vote in 2008 than John Kerry did?
Well how did he become president would be the obvious question but but here's here's the thing you mentioned and this is where it all comes together because I was surprised by the movie in terms of the direction it took after that opening because you played amazing clips of this seminal Soviet defector Yuri Bezmenov that I
I'm familiar with, my parents escaped communism, but your team tied it together to the NAACP versus Booker T, the plight of black America, and that it was as if you, the black community, were the petri dish that was used to inject socialism into America, and I haven't seen that done before.
Absolutely.
The Soviets figured out that race relations is the nerve, the raw spot of America.
And if they can throw salt in that, if they can irritate that, they can pit black people against black people, white people against white people, and have people believing, despite the overwhelming evidence that racism has never been a less formidable obstacle right now,
Despite all that evidence, you've got normal, rational people in the media, in big tech, in academia, in Hollywood, all talking about how systemically racist America is, even after, as you pointed out, America is the only majority white country that's ever voted for a black person to lead it and reelected this black person to lead it.
So the whole point is, We have gone from a righteous movement demanding equal rights to an unrighteous movement demanding equal outcomes, none of which we're entitled to.
But they've convinced black people that you can't make it in America.
No matter how hard you work, the man is going to strike you down.
Oh, yeah, we had a civil rights movement.
Oh, yeah, Barack Obama got elected.
But don't think that that's anything that anybody else can do.
That was an aberration.
It is almost sickening.
It is sickening.
And here's the question I asked Chad on Monday, because I'm having you guys on, you know, multiple times, because I want everybody... I'm a white dude, and I love this movie.
Everybody needs to see it, wherever you're from.
Born here, whatever ethnic background.
Here's the big question.
Now, it's a surprise to me, because I didn't grow up in the 1930s in Harlem.
I don't know what Black Wall Street is.
But how the hell Did they manage to deep six this memory from black America?
How did they manage to allow black Americans to just burn the hard drive of the prosperity they lived in?
It's a great question.
You know, I was watching the Super Bowl last year, Seb, and there was a commercial, a Citigroup commercial, and a black guy is walking down the hall and he's talking about the Tulsa massacre of 1921.
What he didn't tell you, and what we explored in Uncle Tom 2, is that that area that became known as Black Wall Street after it got rebuilt was rebuilt within a matter of a few years, bigger and better than before, without a dime of government money.
So the idea that there was some prosperity until the white man bigfooted everything and then we were back to back to slavery is a downable lie.
And it wasn't, as I said, even called Black Wall Street until after it was rebuilt better than ever.
All right.
We got 30 seconds left.
I loved it.
I watched it.
I promote it because you're a buddy, because it's on SalemNow.com.
Why should all Americans in 30 seconds see this film, Larry?
So that you wouldn't swallow this nonsense that Hillary's peddling.
America could be divided into irredeemable deplorables.
And Joe Biden, America could be divided into semi-fascists.
And Barack Obama, as I said earlier, saying racism is in America's DNA.
It is not.
It is a damnable lie that's putting us against each other.
And the Russians could not be happier.
All right.
He outdid himself.
The next one better be better than The Return of the Jedi.

On the side of the U.S. Constitution, America first.

So I asked him, where is he?
I texted Carafano.
He's in Estonia.
Love those Estonians.
They understand the threat of the Russian hordes.
Another man who understands what it means to be a patriot is Michael Indell.
The feds want him, but haha, they're not gonna get him.
He is, of course, under attack.
They want to cancel him as well as at Walmart.
Why?
Because he's a friend of the president's.
Because he's a patriot.
Because he talked about the Bible, church, and family in the Rose Garden.
Let's support him and get a good night's sleep.

Let's go to your calls!
Is it Thursday?
By golly, I do think it is!
Line 2, Antoinette, with some good news.
Dr. G, by gosh, by golly, yes, it's me.
Dr. Gorka, just a short little prayer and then something else about Planned Parenthood.
May our Lord Jesus Christ himself and God our Father, who has loved us and given us eternal comfort and good hope by grace, comfort and strength in your hearts in every good work and word.
And Dr. Gorka, all the good work and word that you give, you guys are the Jedis.
All the conservative talk radio people are the Jedis of our time, which we're dealing with the evil empire.
But Planned Parenthood needs to be squashed.
Dr. Gorka, when President Trump gets back in, we need to stop the federal funding for Planned Parenthood.
They've got branches in schools in California, in Colorado, in Maine, Ohio, Florida, that they're going to funnel an extra $50 million for the midterm elections.
Now, for our darling Chloe, we say prayers for her.
We never give up.
We are finally getting the attention of women.
Women, you're supposed to be protecting the children!
I was like a tomboy up until I was 15, 16, and I thought, all of a sudden, I became a young girl, I really liked dresses, and poor Chloe, her parents weren't listening and pushed by those evil doctors.
And Planned Parenthood, being in those schools, it's horrible!
But today, we did help two young women to turn around.
They had no idea there are alternatives other than abortion.
So, as you as the Jedi, Dr. G, thank you for letting me speak.
Thank you for the unborn that we're saving and working so hard, Dr. G.
Well, thank you to you, because you are out there in, what shall we say, Antoinette, politely behind enemy lines, saving the lives, standing up for the voiceless, being a voice for the voiceless.
Thank you.
We will keep you and your colleagues in our prayers, and thank you for saving those two unborn human beings that are made in the image of their creator.
But I like that, Jedis.
Yes, and we have to blow up the Death Star!
Let's go to Susan in Pittsburgh, line three.
Welcome, Susan.
Hi, Dr. Gorka.
I wanted to talk about the transgender business in schools.
I believe that the schools are robbing our children of their childhood.
That is child abuse.
Yes.
And I believe they should be nowhere near children.
No, I agree.
It's diabolical, it's demonic, and we have to stop it.
Thank you for your clarity, Susan.
Sorry, what else?
Did you have something else?
Yes, I just wanted to say that they're insinuating that God made a mistake.
Right!
God does not make mistakes.
He gives us crosses.
This is true.
This is true.
And we should help them carry it, not help them put them down.
Correct.
Let's go to Hawaii.
Erin, welcome to America First.
Aloha, thank you for taking my call.
You're absolutely welcome.
What's your question?
What's your comment?
My comment is, besides that Hawaii is a blue state and I should have known better, during the pandemic, the libraries were like their own power structure.
And if you requested a book that had anything to do with America or conservatism or an autobiography on say, ooh, Trump, Your book request was denied, but recently the library said, we're going to open up again and we're going to do band book week.
And 10 books that they're promoting for children to read.
Let's see here.
We've got genderqueer, lawn boy, all boys aren't blue, et cetera, et cetera.
And these were books that were banned because they were sexually explicit and promoted LGBTQ.
Nobody banned them.
It is illegal in the obscenity laws of the United States for pornographic material to be presented to minors.
That's how badly they lied to you.
All right, we're not going to ban books here on America First.
We're going to give you a book.
Stay on the line, Erin.
Let's give her a choice of defeating jihad, the war for America's soul, or why we fight because, you know, No, we have books here, and they're very, very good books.

We have his other book as well.
We'll do the new one.
Okay, the new one.
Coming in with Mighty Oaks.
Thanks, John.
Whenever you're in DC, you just tell Jeff.
We do.
We have to.
I tried to take my own life.
I took a bunch of pills and tried to drive off a cliff.
By 2023, we will have more deaths by suicide than we will post 9-11 combat.
Babe is referring to a report out just this summer that estimates that since 9-11, we've lost more active duty personnel and veterans to suicide than those actually killed in combat.
That is just wrong.
Can we just admit that, everybody?
Irrespective of where you stand politically and, you know, intervention, non-intervention, I don't care.
More Servicemen died at their own hands?
Then in combat?
What do we do about it?
We support organizations like the Mighty Oaks, run by combat veterans who've struggled with...
Their own thoughts of suicide.
They've created ranches across America where veterans, even active service members and their families could go for some peace, some tranquility and to battle with their internal demons.
If you want to say thank you, if you're a former serviceman who just understands you've been there, will you help the Mighty Oaks Foundation?
Let's get that number of 22 suicides a day down to as damn it close to zero as we can.
Go to my website, make a donation in any amount or as much as you can at the top.

God bless every single one of you.
All right, he's been a great friend of the show for years.
He's a senior fellow with the Center for Immigration Studies.
He's in the swamp today and he's decided to come in studio.
We're very grateful.
He is Todd Bensman.
Todd, welcome back to America First.
You just got a piece published in the Daily Mail!
That's big!
I think you made it.
Hang on, hang on, hang on.
Is his mic off?
All right.
All right.
Crawl under that camera.
Get his lavalier mic unmuted because we need to hear what this man has to say.
All right.
Because he's being published in the Daily Mail.
All right.
So tell us about what the figures are that are in your article.
What is it about?
What's the article about, Todd?
Well, the piece is about the numbers, the apprehensions of illegal immigrants coming to the border, and also the number of illegal immigrants that the Biden administration has ushered into the country.
We are at historic highs for every possible record that you can think of in U.S.
history.
So you have, you've got this article, I haven't read it yet, I think it's literally just published today, but you have a new book out and I just want to read the full title so you can explain why you gave it that full title.
So it's called Overrun and the subtitle is How Joe Biden Unleashed the Greatest Border Crisis in U.S.
History.
Now that's not just a way to sell books, that is just an empirical statement, it's just math, correct?
That's correct.
You know, listen, if you want to get past partisanship, go to the CBP Customs and Border Protection website and look at their statistics.
We just passed 2.15 million apprehensions in a single fiscal year.
But let's stop there.
So 2.1 million in a fiscal year under a Biden.
You said the word apprehensions.
Now, number one, It's not an apprehension, because they let them go.
And number two, 2.1 million, that we know of, correct Tom?
Well, there are probably an additional million gotaways.
So the numbers are just astounding.
I mean, we haven't had numbers like this in any time in U.S.
history.
This is a place beyond all American experience.
We have just, even this blows Ellis Island away.
This is the greatest immigration event in the US history, even taking into account population differences from, you know, in the early 20th century to now.
And this is illegal immigration.
This is just over the southern border.
Ellis Island at least was legal like we understood what we were doing and we knew who they were at least somewhat and testing them for different Diseases and we didn't like they didn't hit our criteria.
We would send them back on on the ships And we knew who they were in this case we have probably four million Apprehensions at the border and of those four million in just just two fiscal years Just two fiscal years under Joe Biden.
But the number that have actually been ushered into the country by the administration is about 1.3 million in the last 18 months and then another 1 million got away.
So we're looking at about a population growth of illegal immigrants of 2.5 million in 18 months.
This is just astounding.
I mean, in a typical year, we'll have maybe 400,000, never more than 500,000 in the 2010s.
So now we're looking at, yeah.
So let me ask you, follow him please, Benzmann, Todd ordered the book today.
This is mind-numbing.
The numbers are mind-numbing.
As a legal immigrant to the United States, it's even more galling as somebody who got in line.
You've gone down there.
We've shown the footage that you recorded in Del Rio.
Why are these people coming in such numbers?
You've spoken to them.
Just give us a couple of the answers.
Why now?
Why are they coming now?
Well, I think you know the answer to that.
I know, but you're the guy on the border!
Tell me!
Yeah, I mean, I'll tell you what I ask.
I ask them every time I meet immigrants, you know, why are you coming now?
I ask that question.
And the answer is universal.
Because we can.
This Biden administration, the people are, they're good.
They're good to us.
They like us.
They want us to come in.
We were invited is the message, right?
Yeah, and we can get in.
And we can get in.
It's easy to get in now.
And so everyone in the world is coming.
40% of everybody reaching this border, the highest percentage and portion in U.S.
history, again, are from 150 countries other than Mexico and Central America.
The whole world is coming and I mean every every nation of Africa, every nation of the Middle East, Asia, South Asia, the whole world is coming.
And the law is very very simple.
The international law is very very simple.
If you are an asylum seeker, if you're claiming political or religious persecution, Law requires that you apply for asylum status in the first country outside of your home, which means you can't come from Africa, you can't come from Haiti and then hop through 12 different countries and then request asylum in America.
It's a sham.
It's a political con.

Press on.
- No.
What's the proof that you're a member of America First?
There's no kind of organization.
There's no membership card.
You know, we've got our MAGA hats.
I've got one right here.
Okay, mine's a little bit more subtle.
It's a black hat with white letters.
It's not the classic red MAGA hat, but you can't wear that everywhere.
Last night I was at the MRC Gala, the Media Research Council, with great, great patriots like Mark Levin, Chris Plant, Senator Marshall Blackburn.
Can't walk around there with a MAGA hat on when you're wearing black tie.
So what do you do?
Here's a sneaky answer.
How about having your pocket proof of being part of America First?
It's a challenge coin!
One of our listeners came up with it.
It says America First on one side, red, white, and blue.
President Trump on the other side.

Let's squeeze in one more call before we go to our guest, Eric Metaxas.
Matt in the Carolinas!
Welcome, Matt.
Dr. G, Commander Conservative Radio.
Hey!
Thank you for taking my call.
Absolutely.
What's your question?
What's your comment?
Very quickly.
I was adjusting my air conditioner and I heard you repeat.
I didn't hear Samuel Liberal, but I heard you repeat what he said.
And I started laughing how stupid he is.
If he knew anything about Trump, Trump is not even worried about this phony civil suit.
Okay?
If you watched that interview last night with the president, he didn't look very worried to me.
What about you, Matt?
I only listen to the talk station and I've heard them on your show and every other show.
I mean, he's not worried.
I heard interviews on radio.
I don't watch TV anymore.
You're a very, very wise man.
I like that a lot.
Thank you, Matt.
I tend to agree.
He doesn't look worried at all to me.
And his last rally, what a superb performance.
I teased it almost an hour ago.
I just remembered.
Did you hear what Stacey Abrams said?
This is the La La Land they live in.
This is how insane they are.
You know, human beings have hearts.
Hearts that beat to pump blood around the body.
This is what she says about that heart if it happens to be in a baby inside a woman's womb.
There is no such thing as a six week old heartbeat.
It's a manufactured sound.
I'm curious, Governor Abrams.
Who manufactures the sound?
Is there a little fairy?
Is it like magic?
Is there pixie dust that manufactures the sound?
They're lunatics!
That's why we have to stop them.
I'm Sebastian Gawker.
This is America First.
Next up, are you satisfied with your church leadership under COVID?
I'm not.
But listen to what Eric Metaxas has to say.
Stay with us.
Stay with us.
Stay with us.
Let me say it again.
The 2020 election was the most secure election in American history.
Let me begin by asking a very simple question.
Do we know the truth about what really happened in the 2020 election?
I think millions of Americans know something went wrong, and they have little pieces, and no one's really put it together.
I'm agnostic on this question, and I am awaiting more information.
If I believed the president were a Nazi, I might steal an election.
Bold accusations require bold evidence, and they haven't seen it.
We have been working on something big.
Show me the money.
Can we meet?
I've been working with Greg Phillips.
He has a deep background in election intelligence.
True The Vote has the largest store of election intelligence for the 2020 elections in the world.
No one has more data than we do.
We identified in Atlanta 242 mules that went to an average of 24 drop boxes.
But Philadelphia alone, we've identified more than 1,100 mules.
What is a mule?
This is not grandma out walking her dog.
Bad backgrounds, bad reputations.
They are interested in one thing, that's money.
This is organized crime.
in no way, in no time, is that legal.
- This is organized crime.
- Do you have video evidence?
- Four million minutes of surveillance video around the country.
- What you're about to see is disturbing.
So this is 1 o'clock in the morning.
Don't we all vote at 1 o'clock in the morning?
One night, this person, this mule, went across six counties to 27 different drop boxes.
I call it the Mexican Mafia, seriously.
Because they work like that.
This is jaw-dropping.
What you showed is frightening.
It's just sickening to me.
Now we come to the most important question of all.
Was the magnitude of vote trafficking enough to tip the balance in the 2020 presidential election?
It's not a leap to say this would have made a difference.
They have ruined election day in the United States of America.
That's provable.
And that's enough for me to fight the left with every fiber in my body.
Without free and fair elections, we are not a democracy.
We are a criminal cartel masquerading as a democracy.

Welcome, dear friends.
You're listening to America First One-on-One, where we get to talk to the real newsmakers, the real experts in a long-form interview.
And I'm delighted to have with me one of our Salem colleagues.
He's a truth-teller extraordinaire, and he's got a pretty good right hook as well.
I won't tell you how I know that.
He is Eric Metaxas, the host of the Eric Metaxas Show.
Eric, welcome to One-on-One.
It is my honor to be with you.
You know How well I think of you.
brother in the cause.
And I'm just so grateful for you, Sebastian Porca.
All right.
Well, truth, truth, tell us together because we don't have time for anything else.
We've invited you on because you have a brand new book out.
You are a graphomaniac.
You write more books than I can shake a stick at.
It is called Letter to the American Church.
Please order it right now.
He's the author of a whole library of books.
The most important one I would say is Bonhoeffer, Pastor, Marta.
You've got to get that as well.
Eric, we'll work into the book as we go But first things first, given the phrase American Church being in the title, I want to get your response to my sadness.
I am an optimist.
I chose this nation.
I think all Americans are by dint of being American optimists.
But if I look at the last two years of COVID, I see a nation, I see a civilization betrayed by our churches.
I'm a cradle Catholic, it doesn't matter what denomination, but I see church leadership basically absent.
Is that too tough?
Sebastian, that is literally the whole point of this book.
It's the shortest book I've ever written.
I'm convinced, unfortunately, it's the most important book I've ever written.
It is precisely to what You just said my thesis is that the way the church is behaving today is precisely as the German church behaved in the 30s.
It is an abdication of its duty to God and to its fellow man to speak the truth and to be bold.
And the question is, what was it that made the German church behave in that way?
Because it is precisely the way the American church has behaved.
So you put your finger on the issue.
I lay the blame of where we are in America today.
Well, I'm not sure that makes me feel better, but at least we have a starting point.
So, Eric, let's begin with the title.
Like any good discussion, you've got to clear the terms.
The first chapter of the book is, What is the Church?
Let's just return to this question.
It started off with twelve men who Had their leader, their rabbi, the son of God murdered by the state?
It became the most powerful force for good on the earth.
What is the way in the 21st century?
We have to understand the word church, Eric.
Well, when I say letter to the American church, to some extent I'm speaking principally to my fellow born-again believers, evangelicals.
Of course, this applies to anyone who would call himself a Christian.
You are the church.
If you say, I am a Christian, you are the church.
But to give you hope, Sebastian, I wrote the book.
I felt a compulsion.
I don't say this kind of thing lightly.
If anybody knows me, I wouldn't say it lightly, but I felt a compulsion from God to write this book.
I believe God He wanted me to write this book.
I had a bizarre confirmation.
I was going to write the book already and I was going to privately print it because I said, I just want to get this urgent message to pastors that if you wake up and speak up now, we will avert the disaster that the Germans did not avert because of their silence.
If we can reach those people.
And so I said, I'm gonna write this book as fast as I can.
I'm going to publish it myself.
Never done that before.
And I had a meeting with my publisher, Salem.
Okay.
You're familiar with Salem.
That's who puts out our radio programs.
And they said, we've got some ideas for books we want to write.
And they described this book.
And I said, that is astonishing.
I haven't told anyone that I want to write this book.
And so I published it with them and we rushed it into print.
Because I do feel the urgency that if people who claim to be Christian will behave as though they believe what they claim to believe.
It's very easy to say.
I believe.
You know, I wrote about it in Luther.
He says it's about faith.
It's faith.
Faith is meaningless unless it's real faith.
So James, in his epistle, says faith without works is dead.
I was going to title that the title of the book instead of letter to the American church.
If you claim somehow to believe, but don't behave as though you believe it, if you fear death, if you shrink from saying something because you fear you could lose parishioners if you're a pastor, or you could lose friends.
You are not behaving as though you actually believe what it says.
And God is depending on His Church to behave as though we believe He defeated death on the cross, and He has given us the duty to speak His truth on every subject.
So when somebody says, don't be political, that's political, let's just stick to faith.
That's nonsense.
In fact, it's diabolical nonsense.
It was used by the Nazis to silence the church, and it has been used by evil forces to silence the church in America right now.
So I am cautiously, very cautiously optimistic.
All right, we'll talk about the lessons learned from the German church.
You are the preeminent expert on Bonhoeffer.
We'll talk about what is the cause of all this.
But first, let's jump to the actual ideal case scenario.
What should our churches have done?
What should our priests and pastors have done in the last two years that they didn't do?
Let's start with the corrective.
Well, first of all, you say the last two years.
The last two years is only, in a sense, the manifestation of the reality.
This was the test case, and we saw the Church really show cowardice, show fear of the state, show a tremendous ignorance of who they're supposed to be.
We're supposed to be the conscience of the state.
We're not supposed to do whatever the state tells us to do and jump through hoops like trained poodles.
We are to be fierce.
And so when they said, shut down, we should have immediately said, excuse me, you know, you you have no right and you will not dare to tell us to shut down.
We know how essential it is what we do.
Where do you think we are in China, perhaps?
But the church really did exactly, Sebastian, what the church did in Germany.
They said, OK, OK, whatever we need to do so you won't bother us, we don't want any trouble.
So heroic pastors, a handful of them across the country, whether it's Jack Hibbs or or Rob McCoy, or there's a host of them, they stood up bravely.
Che Ahn, many of them in San Francisco, Greg Locke, so many of them did, but most of them did not.
So the first thing that really was the astonishing evidence that they're willing to go along to stay out of trouble, which is your first, in a sense, your first hint of cowardice or confusion.
That ought to be the moment that the church rose en masse and said, absolutely not.
How dare you?
try to tell us what we ought to do.
By the way, the Nazis tried to do that with the church in Germany in the 30s.
We recognize this as evil.
We're not going to comply.
We don't want to go down that path.
But the American church didn't learn the lesson of Bonhoeffer, didn't learn the lesson of what the German church did.
It is why I wrote this book, because I said it is scandalous is too kind a word.
It will be a tragedy of the greatest historic proportions if the American church does not rise up and speak on any of the issues that you and I know.
What the issue is, is almost irrelevant.
The possibility of election fraud, the possibility that the vaccines are not a good thing.
I mean, any controversial issue to say that, oh, we mustn't speak about that.
We're just going to speak about theological issues.
We're deputized by God to bring him and his truth into every sphere.
So this lie that we're supposed to, quote unquote, stick to the gospel, you hear this over and over among evangelicals.
And you think, where did that idea come from?
That's not a biblical idea.
And by the way, historically, when William Wilberforce spoke against slavery and the slave trade, he was not sticking to theological issues in the quote-unquote gospel.
He was speaking truth because he cared about those who were suffering.
When Bonhoeffer spoke up, he spoke because he cared about those who were suffering.
So we have many people in churches, leaders, who are theologically confused.
And I said, I've got to write this book in order to help them see That their confusion is precisely the confusion of the German church in the 30s.
And these were many good people who were confused.
They did not know they were opening the door to the devil.
So let me jump, given what you've said in your book, given the comparison to the 1930s in Germany.
There's a friend of the show, Gina Carano, who's an accomplished actor.
She's in the new A movie, Terror on the Prairie, who was in Disney in one of their most successful shows of late, who was fired by Disney because she posted on Instagram something to do with Germany in the 1930s.
She said it didn't begin with the death camps.
It didn't begin with the final solution.
It began by Germans dehumanizing their neighbors, which is in fact a statement of empirical history.
Let's just look at somebody who wasn't doing it in the 1930s but was doing it about three weeks ago in Philadelphia.
This is a man who sadly bears the title President of the United States.
Play cut!
Too much of what's happening in our country today is not normal.
Donald Trump and the MAGA Republicans represent an extremism that threatens the very foundations of our Republic.
But there's no question The Republican Party today is dominated, driven, and intimidated by Donald Trump and the MAGA Republicans.
And that is a threat to this country.
So Eric, you're not just writing this book because you're obsessed with Germany in the 1930s or you're an expert on Bonhoeffer.
It is fair to say when you have a president for the first time in our republic's history demonize 74 million Americans, we are witnessing history repeat itself now here in America, correct?
Listen, there's no doubt There is no doubt about it.
And I understand why some people would be challenged to believe that.
Let's put the cards on the table.
Biden and his administration have behaved despicably, despicably.
And for any American not to speak against it is scandalous.
But for those who dare to call themselves Christians, not to speak against this wickedness, it's wickedness on every level.
We're not just talking about one issue or two issues.
The whole approach is as reminiscent of what we saw in Germany.
What he said, I mean, these satanic lies.
I've never seen anyone lie quite in the way that he did in the very place.
It's so sick.
In the place where they signed the Declaration of Independence, where they wrote the Constitution.
There's a wickedness there, and I think we have to call it what it is, and we have to stand against it.
And the reason I wrote the book, Sebastian, is because I know, I don't expect people, when you mention Hitler and the Nazis, just to take that seriously.
They can't bear the comparison.
So I said, I have to write a book.
It's a short book, but I have to explain precisely how this happened.
And in retrospect, it's very strange.
I believe God called me to write my Bonhoeffer book to prepare us for this moment.
Well, explain what was it in your life?
Was there an event?
Was there a trigger that made you... was it just observation or did you experience something that made you feel, God is calling me now to write this book?
I had a sense.
I mean, the way sometimes God speaks to me, it's not very dramatic, but certain thoughts kept coming up over and over that I would say in speeches I'm giving or if I'm giving a sermon in a church or doing an interview, I would say these things.
And at some point, it just occurred to me, my goodness, I must write this because there are I'm sure many, many thousands of Christian leaders, much less Christians, who have been deceived by the siren song.
Don't be political.
Just stick to your little theology.
This is what Hitler said.
Literally, Hitler said to Martin Niemöller, a hero, a military hero in the First World War, who became a pastor, he said to him, you stick to your sermons.
In other words, we don't have religious liberty here.
We run the show.
And you just do your little religious thing, just like they say in China, right?
You go into your little building and do your little ritual, but when you come out, you will bow to the secular authority of the state.
This is happening in America.
It's been happening.
It didn't just happen in the last six months or in the last two years.
It's been happening, but now you're seeing it in bold, bright lines and colors.
It is very dramatic.
And if I didn't feel the urgency, I mean, I've been speaking about these things for some time, I've never seen the urgency, because it is as though we were in Germany in the early 30s.
The Church had a chance.
This is what Bonhoeffer knew.
It's why he was so strong.
He knew that the Church spoke up.
They would avert the horror, the diabolical horror of what was to follow.
But the church said, not yet, not yet.
We don't want to be political.
We don't want to be political.
We want to be, you know, we want to be evangelistic.
Well, let me tell you something.
Nothing draws people to faith in Jesus more than courage and more than clarity.
So let me ask you, why do you have a chapter in the book, Eric, that is titled The Idol of Evangelism?
Right.
Well, that's the whole thing.
It's like I became an evangelical, you know, around my 25th birthday.
The first time I discovered My goodness, all these people call themselves Christians, but they're not sharing their faith.
There's nothing more important than believing these things are true.
Nothing more important than sharing your faith in any way you can.
It's the greatest news in the history of the world.
But what happens when you take this great thing, any good thing, and you push it too far?
You make an idol of it, just like loving my wife, loving my daughter, loving my parents.
I make an idol of it.
It replaces God, and I say, You know what?
When it comes to evangelism, if God asks me to say something unpleasant that might be divisive, I'm just going to say, no, no, no.
I'm just going to preach the gospel.
I just want to do evangelism.
I don't want to say anything that might push someone away politically.
We have people in our church or in our neighborhood that they may disagree.
I will avoid those topics.
That is why the German church shut its mouth with regard to the evil of the Nazis In the 30s, they had a nice theological reason, and Barcliffe called them out on it.
He said he was disgusted by the theologically based restraint, which was in fact nothing but fear.
He knew it.
But they create this idea that, oh, no, no, no, we care about souls.
And the thing, who can argue with that?
We're supposed to care about souls.
But the point is, there are people suffering issues.
If you don't speak up for the Jew going to Treblinka and Auschwitz, what right do you have to talk about some gospel that you purport to believe in and share with people?
That's the bottom line.
Right.

It does help us with those dastardly algorithms.
Truth!
What is truth?
Does it come from the almighty?
Does it come from the good book?
Or does it come from a bureaucrat called Anthony Fauci?
I think Anthony has an opinion on that.
Play cut.
And what I symbolize in an era of the normalization of untruths and lies and all the things you're seeing going on in society from January 6th to everything else that goes on, people, the craving for consistency, for integrity, for truth and for people caring about people.
Oh, he just appointed himself as the truth.
How modest of him, St.
Anthony!
This is just the latest iteration of a longer problem.
Talk to us, Eric Metaxas, about the significant events in, sadly, our Republic's journey towards a... It's more than post-Christian.
It's anti-Christian thought, isn't it?
That's correct.
It is anti-Christian thought.
And the thing is, The diabolical nature of what's coming out of the mouths of some of these people.
I don't know whether they actually believe these things.
They may well believe these things.
But when you hear Biden or Fauci dare to talk about democracy being threatened, it is utterly diabolical.
It's like goebbels talking about it or President Xi of China.
They couldn't care less, manifestly, about democracy or about liberty or about the founders' vision.
But they say these things specifically to demonize those with whom they disagree.
That is wicked.
And I'll tell you something.
One of the reasons I wrote this book, Letter to the American Church, frankly, is because many in the church have participated in demonizing those Christians We have had evangelical elites demonizing them.
Russell Moore, now the head of Christianity Today, which once was a great magazine, he wrote an article about the time that I was writing this book.
I was absolutely astonished.
Where he was participating in demonizing those who believe we need to fight for our country, we need to fight to restore biblical values, whatever it is.
He made it sound like it's mere culture warring, it's mere, it's a power play.
These people don't care about the gospel.
So these are these lies that are really, I say, genuinely diabolical because they mix in Christian lingo as though they care about these things.
And millions have been deceived, Sebastian.
There's a book put out recently by Andy Stanley, gigantic pastor in the Atlanta area, saying essentially the exact opposite of what I said, that don't get involved politically, you'll push people away from the truth.
So when you point out to these people, Eric, that everything, everything, the founders of the church, the original apostles, the disciples did, was political and that's why they ended up being executed, crucified, upside down, beheaded.
What do these people say when you point out that martyrs were political actors as much as they were spiritual?
I'm curious.
Well, look, I think that a lot of times these terms become useless.
I mean, if somebody says, you're being political, my question would be like, first of all, what?
And then, so what?
What do you mean?
If I stand against evil, if I stand against slavery, if I stand against anything wrong, why do you need to label it?
I am speaking out of my Christian conviction.
By the way, there are many good pagans in America, good patriots, who seem to see these things more clearly than a lot of the Christian elite, which is why I believe if you actually care about evangelism and drawing people to Jesus, you better speak the truth.
If you're going to play this game of avoiding these hot-button topics, imagine trying to raise your kids in this world where you have transgender madness out of hell, being pushed on little children And you don't speak up.
You don't speak up at the school board meeting.
You don't speak up from the pulpit as a pastor.
Do you not think people would be attracted to heroic Christians speaking bravely about the truth, offering real solutions and saying, that's wrong, and we know this is wrong, and we'll stand with you against this madness?
So, I really think the Church is losing a tremendous opportunity.
And again, of course, it's mostly the elites.
And I think that those who have followed suit, who are being quiet, they need to understand that there's a different perspective.
And it's why I wrote the book letter to the American Church, because I said, you don't have, in many Christian circles, you either have silence or you have people advocating silence on these issues.
It's theologically horribly wrong, and I've got to help my fellow Christians understand, it's not just that you have permission to speak the truth on these issues, you have an obligation.
God looks to His Church just as He did in Germany, and just as the German Church was silent and led to hell on earth, the Church today is being silent and needs to change immediately.
It's called repentance.
Let me just translate that into layman's speak for the swamp.
If you're not politically active, you're not actually a Christian.
Sorry.
Being Christian isn't just about going to Sunday Mass or baking some cookies for the bake sale.
If you're not actively involved in the political life, like the founders of the church were Guess what?
You're not a Christian.
The new book is Letter to the American Church by Eric Metaxas, the author of fabulous works like Is Atheism Dead?
and of course the seminal Bonhoeffer.
Listen to his show every single day and follow him at Eric Metaxas on Twitter and ericmetaxas.com.
Eric, how does Tim Keller's third wave fit into all of this?
Explain the relationship.
I actually write about him in this book, and I deal with this because I love Tim Keller.
He wrote the foreword to my Bonhoeffer book.
His third way was correct.
For a long time, it made sense.
It is no longer correct because circumstances have changed, and if you're not alive to the circumstances, you're being blind, and that's exactly what happened in the German First World War.
So explain what the third way was and why it no longer obtains.
Basically, it would be the idea of saying that, listen, here's maybe a conservative view of things, kind of like a legalistic view of things.
That's not the gospel.
Here's a liberal view that says, do whatever you like.
That's not the gospel.
In the middle, here is the gospel.
In other words, he created this rubric where he was able to explain to people how you can go wrong on the left, how you can go wrong on the right, and the gospel is truth in the middle.
For the longest time, that made sense.
With the advent of Obama and up till now, things have been changing so dramatically that that is no longer the case.
We no longer have a Democratic Party with Bill Clinton or Sam Nunn or Tip O'Neill.
We now have wicked forces, whether it's Kamala Harris or any of these folks, they have opened the door to something not just un-American, but fundamentally And if you do not see that and speak about that from the pulpit, wherever you are, you are missing the moment we're in.
atheistic doctrines and big state thinking that is the enemy of every single American.
And if you do not see that and speak about that from the pulpit, wherever you are, you are missing the moment we're in.
And as I say, what I try to say in the book is that Bonhoeffer saw this clearly in the thirties and try to get the church to see things have changed.
Whatever was working 10 years ago, we have moved on.
And if you don't get it and speak up quickly, we're going to lose everything.
They dismissed him as a hothead, as an intellectual.
What does he know?
We know he was right.
We know, magically, they didn't listen.
He couldn't have been more right.
And if you think that can't happen in America, let me tell you, not only can it happen, it is happening now.
And unless we heed the voice of Bonhoeffer, which is really the voice of God for this situation, we will go down that path.
It's why you hear the urgency in my voice.
I could not be more serious and more grieved than I am right now.
But I'm hopeful.
I believe God called me to write the book for his purposes.
I believe God's hand is still on this nation.
But we in the church mostly have to take this extremely seriously and live out our faith.
Utterly.
Alright, so what is your tactic?
What advice do you give to those who are maybe of a younger generation, see themselves as Christian but have been indoctrinated with the, you know, the AOC brand of crypto-socialism that, you know, it's equity, it's equality, it's being caring.
How does someone who says they're a Christian, how do you bring them back from that brink of big government and loss of our civil liberties?
Well, that's the point.
You certainly don't need to be a Christian to understand this.
If you care about the poor, you will speak against socialism night and day, because socialism will crush the poor.
This is a fact.
It's an historical fact.
Now, when you see big government or any kind of socialism or any kind of redistributive efforts, they will crush those who are suffering.
So the point is, it's like you just have to do the math and see it doesn't help the poor.
You are right to care about the poor.
We're commanded to care about the poor.
How you care about the poor makes all the difference.
And what is being pushed by the left today is crushing the poor.
And I speak against Critical race theory against any kind of cultural Marxism, any kind of economic Marxism.
Why?
Because we are commanded to love the poor.
We're commanded to love the marginalized.
That's how I love the marginalized, by knowing what will help them and speaking about it, even though I'm being told, oh no, you shouldn't speak about that.
I don't care what people are going to tell me.
I know that I have a duty before God to speak that truth.
So tell us why.
You told us what should have happened in the last couple of years, especially under COVID.
Tell us why it didn't happen.
Why did people like me see my church leaders just totally genuflect at the altar of big government, fascists like Fauci.
Why did that happen, Eric?
There are many reasons it happened.
It happened principally because we in America are profoundly spoiled.
We've been so blessed that we have no idea that freedom costs something, and being a Christian costs something, and God wants it to cost something.
He wants us to use our whole lives to act out what we claim to believe.
We forgot that.
We got very soft.
in this nation and those who have parents as you and I do who suffered under communism and saw that evil, we are much less inured to evil in the world.
We know it's real and we say we've got to do something about it, but we've just been blessed like crazy in this country and it takes, I actually believe that what happened, it's Romans 8:28, All the horrors that have happened in the end are a blessing because they are waking people up who would otherwise still be asleep, who are waking up even now, realizing I was blind.
I need to see what is happening.
I need to tell my neighbors what is happening.
If these horrors hadn't emerged, We would have the church more asleep than it is.
I believe there are people waking up, a holy remnant of people are waking up.
People who don't believe in Jesus are waking up and thinking like, hey, how come those Christians are being so brave?
I want to go to that church.
And how come those Christians are being such cowards?
I'm glad I never went to that church.
This is happening in our time.
So I, as I say, I'm cautiously optimistic and hopeful.

Last question for you, Eric.
I know you have to run out of here.
You're a busy man.
You've got places to go.
You've got people to convince to be part of our, what?
Our revivification of our civilization.
Oh, and of course, he's also the host.
How remiss of me of the amazing lecture series.
I see you've got my good buddy, Andrew Claven, is going to be up there soon.
It's Socrates in the City.
A very, very good MC when it comes to those events as well.
Eric, I see a couple of things that in the original sense of the word are going to be triggers.
And I think the biggest trigger of all for this waking up of the Christian world is this truly diabolical transgender extremism, the literal physical mutilization and sterilization of children to placate some bafflement, some demon out there.
Do you agree with me that this could be the most significant issue to bring people back to the one true faith?
Yes, I do.
And I tell you, Sebastian, the reason I wrote this book letter to the American church is because I believe there are people who can be reached.
Many people listening right now can think of someone who says, I'm a Christian.
I don't want to be political.
I think all these people are seeing things get so bad because of things like the transgender madness.
You can look in any direction, but that's one of the classic horrors of our time, where people who ordinarily would keep their mouths shut are starting to look around and think, this can't be right.
This can't be right.
They're looking for leadership.
And if it doesn't come from the church, my goodness, we ought to be as bold as possible on these issues if we care about saving souls, if we care about saving the Republic.
So, as I say, I'm trying to reach those who are waffling, who say, well, I believe these things, but I don't know if I can speak about it here, here, here.
My point is to say, if you don't, we're dead.
This is our opportunity.
Let's not be like the German church, which we have been, but let's repent and change immediately, please.
All right, we've got 60 seconds left.
I want you right now, you are a practical individual, you are a truth teller, you are a fighter.
Give our millions of listeners across the nation one, one piece of advice of what they need to do differently starting today.
Well, I would say if you go to a church where they are not taking leadership on these issues, they shrink from being quote-unquote political, you need to understand that's like being in a church that is a little bit pro-Nazi.
Because they don't want any trouble.
You need to get out of that church.
Or at the very least, you could share my book with the pastor, and if the pastor is not himself convicted into changing his tune, find another church.
It is vital, folks, that we get around people who understand where we are and what the stakes are.
And the siren song of, just be nice, don't bring those things up, that's the safest path Recognize that as the voice of the devil.
We are in a time right now where if you are not in the fight somehow doing something at least hanging around people who are If anybody says to you, just be nice, don't be, because the founding fathers of this nation weren't nice, and the founders of our civilization, remember?
