The End
The Secret Service said they had just waited him for coming to Capitol Hill.
They told him they don't have the resources to protect him here.
So at the moment he is not coming, but that could change.
I'm going to punch him out.
This is my moment.
I've been waiting for this.
For trespassing on the Capitol grounds.
I'm going to punch him out and I'm going to go to jail and I'm going to be happy.
So strange.
Where's her mask?
That was at the height of COVID.
That was January the 6th.
The new video that's been released.
Strange.
It's been filmed by Nancy Pelosi's daughter.
How did she know that she needed a film crew on January 6th?
I thought everybody was surprised by the violence.
I guess not so much.
And what did she say in the thick of things?
You just heard it right there.
Nancy Pelosi, the Speaker of the House, with her mask pulled down, talking to her Chief of Staff in her offices as COVID was...
I presume not attacking her because she didn't have her mask on.
She said, I want the president to come to Capitol Hill so I can punch him on the nose and get arrested and go to jail.
And she said what?
She said, I would be happy to go to jail.
She's not the only one who'd be happy to see Nancy Pelosi in jail.
All right.
We have to talk about an amazing story that broke just 48 hours ago.
Our good friend, Matt Boyle, Washington Bureau Chief of Breitbart.com, discussed it here on our show yesterday.
And I think somebody else may have an opinion about it, because it affects a certain district in Colorado.
It's the third congressional district, which is now represented by a great America's patriot, Congresswoman Lauren Boebert.
Welcome back to America First.
Dr. Gorka, it is so great to be with you.
I need to have verification.
I trust Matt Boyle.
Breitbart is the most influential conservative news site out there.
But this story of the Democrat running against you.
I'm just going to say it out loud.
Having sex in a storage facility on camera and then getting blackmailed by the owner of the storage facility.
Is any of this true?
Can I just ask you?
This is your district.
Yes, so actually there was a whistleblower who contacted my campaign, and so I sent my campaign to have a conversation with this man.
He was a longtime business owner in Aspen, and I wanted this further vetted, so we gave this to the mainstream media, and Breitbart decided to investigate this, have their legal look at it, and we have We have video evidence.
We have emails, correspondence between my opponent, Aspen, Adam Frisch, and with this gentleman, Todd Gardner, where there was blackmail taking place to get Adam Frisch to change his vote as a city councilman.
The owner of the storage unit caught Adam Frisch having an affair.
His general manager saw Adam in the act.
then use that later as blackmail to get him to change his position on a vote that would have affected his cab business.
So there are third party cooperations that took place.
There's video evidence, there's emails.
And of course, we have Adam Krisch switching his vote to kill a mobility lab in Aspen that would have contracted with Lyft and put this cab business under.
So let me just say this, if he can be shaken down by an Aspen cabbie, imagine what Nancy Pelosi and the DC lobbyists would do if they ever had him in DC.
Yeah, this story is like something out of a cheap novel.
But the fact that you have corroborating witnesses to it.
I have to ask, I missed it.
I don't usually look for it, but I missed this story on the front page of the Washington Post or on the news on CNN yesterday.
And has your opponent commented on the allegation?
So I have not seen a public comment.
He did reach out to a local radio station and denied the story, called me a liar, but he did not call Todd Gardner, the owner of the storage unit, the owner of the cab business, a liar.
And I believe that his response was very well worded.
It was very crafty in his response, so he won't be sued for libel because he knows the evidence that Todd Gardner has that the affair took place And that Aspen Adams sold his vote as a sitting city council member.
This should be alarming to every voter in Colorado's third district.
You have someone that came onto the campaign trail lying about his voter registration, lying about his voting positions and his platform even, and has a record to look back on.
And now there is blatant corruption where he sold out his vote to keep a secret.
All right, we'll talk about the campaign and what your message is for your constituents in a moment, but we're just over three weeks away from the midterms.
That clip I played of Nancy Pelosi wanting to punch a president of the United States in the face, it sounds to me as if they're getting a little bit desperate.
How does it look to you on Capitol Hill?
Oh, they are very desperate.
They know that they are underwater.
And that's why you see so many Democrats separating themselves from Nancy Pelosi, separating themselves from Joe Biden, both of whom have said that they wanted to punch President Trump, which is extremely alarming.
But they are now running on this conservative platform, as is my opponent.
He is lying to voters, saying that he is moderate, saying that he is conservative.
But all of these politicians have voting records to look back on.
And you can see that the ones who are in Washington, D.C., they voted with Nancy Pelosi and Joe Biden's agenda 100 percent of the time, and now say that they do not support them and are trying to separate themselves because there is an election.
Everyone knows that these conservative policies Follow this lady at Lauren Boebert, B-O-E-B-E-R-T, on Twitter.
that is what's going to get us back on track.
But the American people win when we actually govern as conservatives.
Follow this lady at Lauren Boebert, B-O-E-B-E-R-T on Twitter.
How can people support you in your campaign?
Yes.
I am absolutely being outspent.
My opponent put $1.5 million of his own money into this campaign, and it's getting really expensive countering the lies that are being said.
So laurenforfreedom.com, I appreciate all the resources that you are able to send.
I understand inflation is high, and there is difficulty in the job market.
Groceries are high.
But anything that you can do to send to my campaign for extra reinforcements at Lauren for freedom dot com is greatly appreciated.
We have a country to save.
That's why I'm out on the road with my constituents each and every day, hearing from them, talking to them and providing solutions for the problems that they are having.
We have to save our country.
Lauren for freedom dot com.
Thank you so much.
Congresswoman, one more thing.
We will take the House.
Likely, we will take the Senate as well.
However, we won't get a Republican.
We won't get President Trump back into the White House for another two years.
What is your message to the people of Colorado 3, of Colorado, of America, who say, we can't wait that long?
Explain what the good guys like you, the good guys and gals, can do on Capitol Hill after you win.
Well, first and foremost, we could stop this extremist agenda that is steamrolling Americans.
Nancy Pelosi will no longer have power of the pen.
You all deserve a government that does not have Nancy Pelosi as speaker.
So let's fire her.
We cannot allow them to continue with this radical agenda.
So we will certainly be able to stop that in the House of Representatives.
We will be able to defund these 87,000 IRS agents that they hired to come after you.
And there's so much that we could do in hearings and investigations to actually hold this regime accountable.
Congressman Jim Jordan hopefully will be the chairman of judiciary, if not speaker.
And he fully intends to have Secretary Mayorkas into the Judiciary Committee and bring up articles of impeachment for their wide open border policies that are killing Americans.
Nearly 4 million illegal aliens coming into our country.
And Colorado is number two in the nation for fentanyl overdoses.
We have to stop the fentanyl that is coming into our country.
We have to secure our border.
And the only way to do that is to get Republicans in the House of Representatives, so we can stop Nancy's power, that she controls the floor, she controls the legislation, she controls the committees, and even the witnesses that come into those committees.
And this is so important.
And we will take back the White House in two more years.
America is resilient, and we will come back stronger than ever before.
It's resilient because of people who are citizen politicians like yourself, not members of The Swamp.
It is lauren4freedom.com.
Looks to me like she's going out target practicing.
Beautiful countryside behind her.
Follow her at Lauren Bow.
But it's Friday.
It's Second Amendment Friday.
It's Ask Dr. G Anything.
Support this lady right now.
lauren4freedom.com.
Wherever you are, whatever you're doing, stay on this channel.
All right, I've got these cuts.
Do you want to go through any of them?
Yeah, let's go through them all.
I can't hear.
That if he had just conceded defeat the way that every other president in American history has done, that any of this would have happened.
And of course it would not have.
It all spun out of his pathological determination to stay in office even though he lost the election by more than 7 million votes, 306 in 232 in the Electoral College.
But there are ancillary parts of this story.
We have seen And what was Trump after?
of a domestic violent extremist movement that was empowered by Donald Trump.
Okay, three.
And what was Trump after?
He was not only after trying to win the election, I think he wanted violence so that he would have the pretext to declare martial law.
You know, the number of times we've all heard him at these large rallies saying, "I've got these powers under Article II of the Constitution that are so big that I'm not even allowed to talk about them." He has been itching to do this for a long time.
And the question was, what was his mindset?
I'm going to demystify that for America right now.
I've spent time with the guy in the Oval Office, the White House Situation Room, Air Force One.
I'll tell you what his mindset was on January 6th.
I believe Donald Trump wanted people to die.
He wanted people to die.
He wanted people to die who were elected officials en masse so he could call out the military, so he could invoke the Insurrection Act, so he could prevent the peaceful transfer of power.
That's not a conspiracy theory.
He's not going to appear under oath.
It's simply not going to happen.
So let's set that aside.
Are you saying he's too scared?
I think that there is... Is he too scared of Liz Cheney?
Are you saying that he's a coward?
And he won't go in front of Liz Cheney?
He's afraid of Liz Cheney?
Is that what you're saying?
He won't show up because he's scared of Liz Cheney?
He's afraid of Liz Cheney.
He's afraid of the process.
Oh, okay.
Alright, that's interesting.
No one around the president.
Well, you should know.
You read the book on this.
So you're saying he's scared.
There's a whole chapter about the fear of Liz Cheney.
I have a very good relationship with Tomlin.
Oh, yeah, okay, next.
Mike Tomlin are two of the few black-head coaches in the league.
I wonder what your relationship is like with them and your thoughts on Steve Wilkes joining that bowl.
I have a very good relationship with Tomlin.
We don't look at what color we are when we coast against each other.
We just know each other.
I have a lot of very good white friends that coach in this league as well.
And I don't think it's a big deal as far as us being coaching against each other.
I think it's normal.
Wilk's got an opportunity to do a good job.
Hopefully he does it.
And we coach ball.
We don't look at color.
But you also understand that representation matters too, right?
And that when young aspiring coaches or even football players, they see you guys, you know, they see someone that looks like them, maybe grew up like them.
That has to mean something.
Well, when you say you see you guys and look like them and grow up like them, it means that we're eyeballs to begin with.
And I think the minute you guys stop making a big deal about it, everybody else will as well.
All right.
Can you clip that one, Jeff, so it's just the second half from the second question?
People like you guys.
Are you coming in with Mighty Oaks here?
No Mighty Oaks.
I'm going to do it.
Oh, yeah, but there's no clue.
Thank you.
Thank you.
It is the last day of our Mighty Oaks campaign.
This is the organization that is dedicated to helping our veterans who have come home from war zones, fighting internal battles, and who are potentially contemplating suicide.
They have counseled successfully more than 4,000 veterans.
And the incredible testimonies of these men and women who said, if it weren't for you, I wouldn't be here today, is why we need your support.
I have a special offer.
Each one of these trips to the faith-based week-long counseling sessions for the members of the Armed Forces and veterans with their families cost $2,500.
They don't pay a penny.
But if you are prepared to donate today $2,500 for one of these veterans counseling sessions, you'll get access to me, Dr. G, private phone call, video conference, whichever you prefer, to ask me whatever you want!
You'll have a private chat with Sebastian.
Please make your donation for any amount today.
It's the last day.
If you've wanted to and haven't, if you want to give back to our soldiers, marines, and airmen, Go to sebgorka.com and click on the Restore Our Warriors banner at the top.
And if you donate $2,500, we're going to book an appointment to chat together.
That's S-E-B-G-O-R-K-A, sebgorka.com and the Mighty Oaks banner that says Restore Our Warriors at the top.
All right, it's Friday.
It's Ask Dr. G Anything.
Let's go to your calls.
It's Second Amendment Friday as well.
Let's start at the top.
Al in California.
I'd like to speak to the now slim Hungarian.
Okay, I've got a two-part question.
I'm not exactly slim.
I'm pretty large.
What do they call it?
Barrel-chested is what my doctor says is my body shape.
But 40 pounds lighter makes me feel good, Al.
Yeah.
Okay, I've got a two-part question.
Yes.
Basically the same topic.
You know, Israel has this Iron Dome system, which is working pretty good with smaller rockets.
Couldn't the United States do something like that?
I know Ronald Reagan was thinking about something from outer space, but I think it's ridiculous that we just sit here without some way of defuncting or destroying incoming missiles.
Yeah, look, it sounds seductive putting the Iron Dome across America to protect us from missiles.
There's one problem.
Israel is what?
Israel is about 8,000 square miles.
America is almost 4 million square miles.
So, you know, you can defend the important parts of Israel pretty easily when your strategic depth is 15 kilometers.
Then it's pretty easy.
When you are a continent-sized landmass, you'd have to have more Patriot missile bat... I mean, we'd have more Patriot missile batteries than we'd have buses in America.
That would be rather expensive, Al.
Well, that's true, but I was thinking we could maybe do enough some ways rather than just sit here and wait for a strike.
The second part is this.
We all have our eyes on Putin.
One lady was saying the other day that, you know, there are other ultra-nationalists.
Let's say we get rid of Putin by some way.
There are other ultra-nationalists just like him.
There are more vipers in the nest.
Yeah, but that's why you have to act strong and you have to, you know, punch the bully on the nose.
That's what we did.
That's when we killed 300 Russian mercenaries in Syria.
It was very much not just a message, Al, for Putin.
That was a message for Xi Jinping.
That was a message for the mullahs in Iran.
That was a message for Lil' Kim.
So there's a lot of bad guys out there, but if you stand tall, if, uh, what was the phrase a prior president uses?
Walk soft and carry a big stick.
Teddy Roosevelt.
I think in President Trump's case, it's tweet loudly and also carry a big stick.
That's what happens.
The bad guys understand.
Great questions.
Thank you, Al.
Let's move down the line.
The number is 833-33 Gorka.
That's 833-334-6752.
Rick in Cleveland.
Hey, so this is the slim barrel chested Gorka.
I think we're kind of wearing out this analogy.
Let's just say Dr. G Mark II.
How's that?
OK, good.
So I think we have an opportunity as Republicans with this energy policy that Democrats have.
So the Democrats have an all or nothing and they're just taking us over a cliff.
Are you familiar with the concept of the triple bottom line developed by a guy named Elkington in 1994?
I am not.
What is the triple bottom line, Rick?
OK, so the triple bottom line is a concept like it's about It's an accounting framework that brings across three parts, the social, environmental, and economic.
And he's developed what's called the three P's, meaning people, planet, and profits.
He later moved it to prosperity.
The idea is we all want to protect the planet.
We all want to protect people.
Well, we need profits to do it.
So the Republicans have an opportunity using this concept as a balanced approach.
Alright, this is getting dangerously wonky for live radio.
This is maybe good for a lecture at the Heritage Foundation.
Just give me the name of the author and I'll look into it, Rick.
Give me the name again.
Yeah, John Elkington is called the triple bottom line.
Elkington.
All right, let me do my due diligence.
John Elkington, triple bottom line.
Not sure it's the best subject for radio, but I will do my homework, I promise.
Thank you.
Let's go to Dan in Arizona.
Dan, welcome to America First.
Is this said Gorka light?
Oh, I think I, you know, I kind of like that.
But then when I think about light beer, I think, oh, that's disgusting.
That's just yellow fizzy water.
But we'll, we'll keep trying.
We'll keep trying.
What's your question?
What's your comment, my friend?
My question is, why does no one ever talk about the negative impact of libertarians on Republicans and conservatives?
So important!
I do!
But explain to our listeners, Dan, why libertarianism is such a scourge for real conservatives.
Because they are a spoiler third party that takes away so many votes that our candidates lose as a result.
And if it hadn't been for them, President Trump would still be president.
You think?
Why?
Why do you think that was the issue in 2020 and not election fraud?
It wasn't the only issue, but they took away enough votes in the critical swing states That if they had not been there or given their votes to the Republican candidate, we would have defeated the Democrats, even with all their shenanigans.
So hang on, you think there were enough formal libertarian candidates in the national election that that affected?
Absolutely, absolutely.
In fact, I don't know if you saw the wonderful debate with Mark Kelly against Blake Masters took him to school.
But the fly in the ointment with that debate was the ridiculous libertarian candidate just absolutely demented.
But they felt, at least their excuse, PBS's excuse for having him there, was that they are such a large enough a number that they deserve to have their candidate represented.
All right, this is a whole larger discussion, but you're absolutely right.
Stay on the line.
Let's give Dan a choice of any of my three books, Defeating Jihad, Why We Fight, or The War for America.
So, libertarianism, not only does it split the right, as Ross Perot did, and that's why we had Clinton, libertarianism is stupid.
I mean, anybody over the age of 12 who thinks you don't need the state, you don't need to pay taxes for the military or the police, Is a mental child the idea that you shouldn't regulate drugs?
Yeah, ask the Colombians about that.
I'm Sebastian Gorka.
This is America First.
More of your calls and guests here on the Salem News Channel.
You can block. .
.
Thank you.
Do you want to check these last two clips?
Uh, yes, please.
But not a single penny.
No, I mean it.
Not a single penny.
If Republican wins, inflation's gonna get worse.
It's that simple.
Oh my gosh.
Before I get to today's announcement, I just want to say one thing about this verdict with the Parkland killer.
I think that if you have a death penalty at all, that that is a case where you're massacring those students with premeditation and utter disregard for basic humanity, that you deserve the death penalty.
Here's the file.
Oh, good.
Okay.
Of course, it's John Harvey again.
Okay.
Go ahead.
Okay.
Can you come in with – actually, play that again.
Play the soundness again.
I couldn't pay attention.
Before I get to today's announcement, I just want to say one thing about this verdict with the Parkland killer.
I think that if you have a death penalty at all, that that is a case where you're massacring those students.
With premeditation and utter disregard for basic humanity, that you deserve the death penalty.
Yeah, uh, okay.
Come in with that.
Copy that.
Coming in with a clip, no liner.
Yep.
Alright.
Geoff, did you see Frank's email?
Okay.
Before I get to today's announcement, uh... You wanna do ins and outs?
Uh, sure.
Stay with us for more... Are you ready?
Stay with us for more one-on-one with Dr. Miriam Grossman back in a moment.
We'll be back with Dr. Miriam Grossman after these messages.
Stay with us for more one-on-one with me, Sebastian Gorka, and Dr. Miriam Grossman.

You're listening to America First one-on-one with me, Sebastian Gorka, and a very brave lady, Dr. Miriam Grossman.
Welcome back to America First one-on-one with me, Sebastian Gorka, and Miriam Grossman.
Okay, hang on a second.
All right, Mr. Hernandez.
Talk to you.
Dr. G, how you doing?
Good, good.
So you're running against Lofgren, right?
Correct.
And she's on the January 6th Committee, correct?
She is.
Alright, what's your website?
Hernandezforcongress.com.
And is that F-O-R or the number 4?
F-O-R.
Okay, good.
All right, I've got to do a commercial, and then we'll come to you.
We'll have about five minutes.
Okay.
Thank you, sir.
Thank you.
Before I get to today's announcement, I just want to say one thing about this verdict with the Parkland killer.
I think that if you have a death penalty at all, that that is a case where you're massacring those students with premeditation and utter disregard for basic humanity, that you deserve the death penalty.
I know it's on a state-by-state basis in their statute, but as far as I'm concerned, you kill children, you sexually abuse children, death penalty, automatic.
If you are found guilty, that's it.
The chair, the firing squad, cyanide, the rope, I don't care.
You kill children, It's not an accident, it's not a traffic incident.
You plan to kill them, that's it.
How that one juror in Parkland, one juror in Parkland said, oh no, oh no, that poor man should just, just rot in prison.
Absolutely pathetic.
Disgusting.
We'll take more of your calls in a moment, but I want to thank everyone.
I don't know if you staged that, Mr. G, how three of our callers congratulated me on how I look nowadays.
It's far too kind!
If you could shed a few pounds, you would, wouldn't you?
Well, join me.
It's my PhD weight loss, Dr. Ashley Lucas's incredible program that has helped me lose 40 pounds!
I am now 3 pounds!
Away from my target.
My wife's already hit her target.
She's in the maintenance phase.
She's done.
No more weekly accountability check-ins for her.
But I feel good, and so does she.
If you need to lose a few pounds, call them today!
864-644-1900.
Or just go to myphdweightloss.com.
That's 864-644-1900.

That's 864-644-1900, myphdweightloss.com.
All right, the January 6th committee is continuing their insanity.
How do we stop them?
Well, there's one pretty good way to stop them.
Run against them, and crush them, and beat them.
And that's exactly what our next guest has planned.
From the 18th Congressional District of California, we have Peter Hernandez.
Peter, you are running against a member of the J6 witch hunt, correct?
Yes I am, Dr. G. While she's wasting time in Washington on this witch hunt, she's ignoring her district.
I'm talking to the voters every day, the Latino community and the whole district.
But in general, they're all dealing with the pain of inflation.
Crime and the fact that you now have a poor southern border that's destroyed 107,000 a year of people from fentanyl deaths.
It's just a travesty, the fact that she's not paying attention to the issues of this district.
Well, you are currently the county supervisor for San Benito County.
You're running against Zoe Lofgren.
We're seeing an incredible rise in Hispanic conservatives, especially in Texas and elsewhere.
Something that's really worrying the Democrats.
They're winning their races.
Why do you think this is happening now?
Well, they're finally feeling the pain of these issues and they're questioning things, right?
It's funny because I learned this even through the shutdowns.
When I fought the mandates and the lockdowns, there was this question of how are they able to do this?
How are they able to take this power away from us?
And ultimately, we're the ones feeling the pain while they're the ones making the decision.
And so I saw that as an opportunity and started engaging and educating the voters.
And now they're starting to understand better.
So, but bottom line is this, the Latino historically has always been conservative, right?
The party system kind of highlights their platform, doesn't necessarily get practical into educating the voters.
And so now they're trying to, they're, they're hungry, right?
You have organizations like Lexit, Latinos for Medical Freedom, like they're hungry to understand now how do they connect their values to the issues or the policies that are creating these issues.
And as they're starting to be informed, It's changing the dynamic.
They no longer can depend on the ignorance of the average everyday American.
Well, you have a very catchy three-word motto for your campaign.
It's Restore, Renew and Revive.
We've got just over a minute left.
Tell us what kind of pillars you've built your campaign on, Peter.
Thank you, Dr. G. So basically, renew the rule of law.
I'm a Christian man.
I firmly believe that there's got to be a fundamental element to the way that we have a governing structure where everybody's treated equal, right?
The idea that we have separation of powers, due process, all the things that matter to the average American, right?
As they're seeing these things degrading their individual rights.
And then the restoring parents' rights, that in and of itself is a prime factor of why there's now huge engagement because the parents are seeing their rights being taken away and they're being indoctrinated and CRT and ultimately things that are now ultimately getting away from what it means to be academically excellent.
Not to mention the indoctrination element.
And then lastly is reviving the middle class.
That's who I am.
I'm a small business owner.
I'm passionate.
I believe that we are the best at understanding dynamics, local issues.
And once we started basically understanding, we understand policy within our realm of our business.
Now we get into creating really good policy as ultimately as local legislators, as a county supervisor, and eventually into Congress, where we actually start talking about how to change the dynamic of strengthening the middle class, the American economy, right?
We believe that if we really want to restore the American economy, then we've got to strengthen the middle class.
To me, American citizenship, the strength of it is equal to the value of the strength of the middle class.
We need to restore all of it.
Absolutely, and you are part of a very, very exciting wave.
You don't need to live in his county to support him.
He's Peter Hernandez.

Hi, Dr. Gorka.
Hi.
We've got a clip we're going to play from Diamond on inflation and interest rates, and we'll use that as the jumping off point.
Sounds perfect.
All right.
I'll tee it up.
What's his first name, Jeff?
Jamie, that's right.
America First Can you believe it?
They are saying that they don't agree with America First.
How do you say that?
Magnificent.
You don't say it on this show.
We'll be back with your calls in a moment.
Phil, don't go anywhere.
The number is 833-333-GORKA.
It's Friday.
It's Ask Dr. G. It does not feel like a Friday.
It's Ask Dr. G Anything Friday.
It's Second Amendment Friday.
We've got an amazing guest for our Manhood Hour in the third hour.
A true, true warrior who has worn the cloth of the Republic.
You don't want to miss it.
However, there is already a battle.
There is a war on our southern border.
And my colleague, my friend, Charlie Kirk has made an incredible, a shocking six-part documentary on what is happening to America under the Biden regime.
The fentanyl, the militarized cartels, the human trafficking.
You need to know just what the Democrats have wrought.
You can watch Border Battle right now.

Six in all.
Portions of America First are brought to you in part by Salem Now and Border Battle.
The economy.
How bad can it get?
Let's listen to a man who should know.
He is the chairman and CEO of JP Morgan, a billionaire in his own right.
Jamie Dimon just had this to say.
What about stock markets?
Where do you see the trough for the S&P 500?
Oh, I don't know.
It may have a ways to go.
I mean, it really depends on that soft landing, hard landing thing.
And since I don't know the answer to that, it's hard for me to answer that.
But it could be another easy 20%.
Another 20 points in the stock market.
20% will be much more painful in the first.
Rates going up another 100 basis points are a lot more painful than the first 100 because people aren't used to it.
And I think negative rates, when all is said and done, have been a complete failure.
- Another 20 points in the stock market.
It's going to be more painful than we've already witnessed.
And the policies from the White House haven't done anything.
What do we do in response?
Let's talk to a man we trust.
He's the president of Cornerstone Real Estate and we are delighted to have him back on the show.
John Harvey, welcome back to the Salem News Network.
Hi, Dr. Gorka.
Is this hyperbole?
Jamie Diamond has a reputation in understanding markets.
Do you think we are potentially going to see more problems as opposed to less?
Yes, absolutely.
I think we're going to see more problems.
You know, most people were thinking that the trough on the S&P 500 was down around 3,500.
We're there now.
And oh my gosh, you're expecting another possible 20% decrease.
And the value of the S&P and just talk about the volatility in the Dow.
You know, the answer for these kind of problems is really diversification.
And in most portfolios, you need at least about 20% of not greater in times of extreme volatility.
Like we're seeing now, you need at least 20% of your portfolio allocated to alternatives and the best alternative to be in.
in an inflationary environment is real estate.
Explain why that is.
So diversification makes sense.
You don't want to have, you know, all your eggs in one basket.
But why is real estate so different in terms of buying stocks and shares or a regular 401k?
Well, you know, you can invest in real estate in a REIT, a publicly traded REIT, but that has the same volatility as the stock market.
What you need to do is to get into something that's passive.
You don't want to have active management.
But the DST, real estate investment, is not correlated with the market.
Their value maintains itself, even with all the ups and downs in the stock market.
And it has intrinsic value as real estate.
And we can grow the rents.
We're seeing rent growth between 9 to 12% annually nationwide.
So we're not only able to beat inflation, but we can increase value through these incredibly volatile times.
And explain what's special about this DST device, the Delaware Statutory Trust, in comparison to or with regards to taxes and deferred taxes.
Well, as you know, Dr. Gorka, the DST qualifies for Section 1031 exchange, unlike a REIT or a fund which would not qualify.
The DST investment qualifies for full 100% deferral of the capital gain.
If you sell one investment property and then reinvest into a DST, we bring 100% of your cash proceeds into the new investment.
So you're not hit by the taxman when you're reinvesting?
And you're not also able to shelter the cash flow due to depreciation deductions month in and month out throughout the entire hold period.
And at the end of the investment, we can do another 1031 exchange to bring 100% of those gains into the next investment.
Absolutely tax-sheltered investment.
One of the greatest tax shelters in America.
And what if you don't have millions and millions of dollars to buy a huge apartment complex?
What is the minimum investment that you can do through the DSTs?
Excellent point.
You know, these DST properties are worth a hundred to two hundred million dollars.
They're really true institutional-grade properties.
But the minimum investment, because of the DST structure, is as little as $25,000.
So that allows a normal investor to access it.
You don't have to be super rich.
But it also allows for tremendous diversification.
Even within the DFT investment, we can go $25,000 into maybe multifamily.
We can go into student housing.
We can go into assisted living.
We can go into all kinds of different asset classes, all kinds of different geographic locations.
And even different sponsors, so we can get tremendous diversification within your DST portfolio.
And these are all high-end quality properties, correct?
Absolutely.
What's really popular these days, of course, is the multifamily.
These are luxury apartment communities with all the premium upgrades.
Best of class, you know, four, five, six hundred units with the dog parks and the gyms and the community centers and the pools.
Young people love it.
It's so hard to buy a house these days with the prices and the underwriting and the interest rates.
Oh my gosh, the 30-year interest rates are about 7% or greater.
That is insane.
But the young people that can get into these beautiful communities, they have a high standard of living and a high quality of living due to the luxury amenities, and they love it.
We're seeing occupancy north of 98% on all these deals, these properties, which are in the city suburbs and all over the country.
All right.
He's been doing it for more than 20 years.
He's handled over a billion dollars worth of real estate investments.
And for the likes of, oh, you know, Johnny Carson, Jackson, Walter Matthau, he knows of what he speaks.
He is John Harvey, president of Cornerstone Real Estate Investment Services.

No hate speech.
Just Happy Warriors on America First!
How do you ruin a 25-30 year career in just one interview?
Because that's what Michael Beschloss quote-unquote presidential historian did in an interview at MSNBC talking about January the 6th.
This is Cut Three, a man who used to be a presidential historian.
Play Cut.
And what was Trump after?
He was not only after trying to win the election.
I think he wanted violence so that he would have the pretext to declare martial law.
You know, the number of times we've all heard him at these large rallies saying, I've got these powers under Article 2 of the Constitution that are so big that I'm not even allowed to talk about them.
He has been itching to do this for a long time.
So weird, though, because he didn't.
So he's been itching so long to use the military to become a dictator because he's a fascist, right?
But he didn't.
Huh.
I wonder why that is.
Could it be because you're a hack, Michael Bislash, and you're just an extremist, Democrat, radical, TDS-suffering cretin?
Let's go to your calls.
It's Friday.
I want to be in a good mood.
Let's go to Philly!
Line 1 and my buddy Phil.
Hey, Dr. G. I hate, like, anything to give Biden any credit for.
No, no, no.
You're not allowed to do that on this show.
What do you think this is?
CNN?
I gotta give him just a little bit of credit that what he showed us was rules don't matter.
Rules don't matter.
And what I'm saying is that instead of saying drill, baby, drill, why not drill, governor, drill?
Any governor out there that's sitting on a sea of oil underneath him should just start pumping it out.
Start taking orders.
What's he going to do?
Nord?
What's he going to do?
Nord stream him?
Oh, you are sneaky.
Look, we're going to get on somebody who we've had before from the Western Energy Alliance, their president, who's really good on this stuff.
Because I don't know what the regulations are, if you're in a state, how you can be affected by federal regulations.
But there's got to be a way for us to just to liberate the energy in independent states, Phil.
I think you must be right.
It's state property.
You can ask your real estate guy that was just on.
It goes to the center of the earth, up for the universe.
It's state property.
All right, tell me, how are things in Philly?
Have you recovered from Biden giving his fascist speech?
Oh my God, that was like looking at the gates of hell when he was on that stage.
It was brutal.
Now we have Doug Mastriano running for governor.
Yes.
And we have $5 billion in our rainy day fund.
He could dedicate $1 billion to hire 2,000 new cops.
That's $100 million.
Does Doug, I have to ask you, do you think Doug has a shot?
Yes, more than a shot.
But he's got to come out and say that if you kill a cop here in Pennsylvania, he will sign your death warrant.
I love it.
The hero was in a position to do it twice, three, four times.
Wow.
He never broke the death penalty.
We need to get Doug back on the show.
Get the good colonel back on the show.
Thank you for the update.
Love it, love it, love it.

No, I mean it.
Not a single penny.
If Republicans win, inflation is going to get worse.
It's that simple.
If Republicans win, inflation is going to get worse.
Now, I know somebody who is an amateur historian when he's not a strategic advisor to the Trump campaign, a lawyer, a bon vivant and a cigar connoisseur, and I think he probably can remember what the rate of inflation was when both of us were in the White House.
Welcome!
Happy Friday to the Baron, Boris Epstein.
Happy Friday.
It's great to be here.
I'm doing my baronial wave right now remotely.
It's great to be with you, my friend, and with your whole wonderful audience.
And let me tell you, under President Trump, that inflation was pretty much zero, and now it's run away under a feckless, pathetic, sad, sleepy Joe Biden, who doesn't know where he is, and whose handlers are ruining our wonderful country.
Yeah, he doesn't know where he is and there's somebody else whose reputation for being the arch strategist has been blown out of the water.
I have to play this cut again.
This was released yesterday.
It's very strange that a documentary team run by Nancy Pelosi's daughter was in the Congress on January the 6th and this is one of the things that they filmed.
Cut one, Nancy Pelosi!
Secret Service said they have dissuaded him from coming to Capitol Hill.
They told him they don't have the resources to protect him here.
So at the moment he is not coming, but that could change.
I'm going to punch him out.
This is my moment.
I've been waiting for this.
For trespassing on the Capitol grounds.
I'm going to punch him out and I'm going to go to jail and I'm going to be happy.
I can't wait for President Trump to come to Capitol Hill so I can punch him out and go to jail and I will be happy.
I think a lot of Americans would be happy if she went to jail.
Don't you think, Boris?
Oh, no doubt about it.
It just shows you how pathetic, how craven, how cynical the left has become.
It just, it's absolutely runaway.
It is an absolute disaster for the American people.
And it'd be, if it weren't so sad, if it weren't so dangerous, it'd be funny.
But it is sad.
It is dangerous.
We've got to take our country back.
And the elections on November 8th are going to be a major, major step.
And then beyond that, we're looking right at 2024.
We hope and expect Alright, so tell us, do you have a hypothesis?
Because I don't really understand.
Why was there a film crew following Nancy Pelosi around on January the 6th?
Did they perhaps know that something was going to happen?
Am I being a conspiracy theorist, Barron?
Well, you know, Steve Bannon and I say on the war room, there's no conspiracies, but there's no coincidences.
And the fact that Nancy Pelosi refused President Trump's authorization of thousands of national guard troops to secure Washington, D.C.
during the huge historic speech the president made on January 6th.
The fact that Nancy Pelosi and D.C.
Mayor Merrill Bowser refused that authorization, and then next thing you know, her daughter's filming in there?
It does tell you something?
Definitely.
Definitely.
Something to be thinking about and evaluating.
And we all know just how craven the Democrats are and how power-hungry they are.
They'll go to any depth, any So tell us, you are in the thick of things, you are following races across the country, you're working for President Trump.
they're filming on that day.
Yeah, no conspiracies, but no coincidences.
Follow this man everywhere.
Boris EP.com, Boris EP on Getter on the social media platforms and Boris underscore Epstein as well.
Okay, so tell us, you are in the thick of things.
You are following races across the country.
You're working for President Trump.
What do we need to know?
What's the latest developments, for example, on the Mar-a-Lago case?
What What do our listeners need to know that the mainstream media isn't covering, whether it comes to the president or it comes to individual races?
Here's what you gotta know.
President Trump's on offense all across the board just yesterday, sending a notice letter to the people of the board individually for their continued defamation of him as they continue non-stop and continue to promulgate the false Russia, Russia, Russia hoax.
President Trump sending a notice letter saying, you better take that down.
And if not, in just five days, there's going to be a major complaint filed.
President Trump filing a powerful defamation suit against CNN for $475 million.
and punitive damages on the documents, hoax, the DOJ is in a box.
They don't even know what they do anymore because they have not proven to the American people that this was anything but an illegal, unwarranted, unjust, unconstitutional break and raid, breaking and raid of President Trump's beautiful home, which I can attest to firsthand of Bar-Lago.
Yep, and I call it the state-sanctioned burglary unparalleled.
I had a very smart lawyer friend of mine, she's been on the show more than once, say, and we don't have to go down the rabbit warren of Alex Jones.
I think Alex Jones deserved what he got for profiting from the death of children and defaming the parents of those dead children.
However, she made a very interesting comment.
She said that all the conservatives Well, the incredible defamation funds or suits won by Nick Sandeman against the likes of CNN and now against Alex Jones should put President Trump in very, very strong position when it comes to those same media organs and his cases, don't you think?
No doubt about it.
You have a smart guest in your wonderful program that's always in-depth, always so insightful.
No doubt about it.
President Trump has been defamed time and time and time again by CNN, other mainstream left-wing media outlets, and he's fighting back.
The Lucha Board is another one.
They're promulgating the Russia, Russia, Russia fake hoax stories.
That's what's been going on for him since he came down the Golden Escalator in 2015.
She's not taking it.
He's fighting back.
He's standing up.
And he's not fighting for himself.
He's fighting for the MAGA movement.
He's fighting for the American people.
All right, I've got to shake it up a bit.
There's Jamie Raskin, a cut from MSNBC, got to get you to comment.
This is Cut 2.
This is his description of our former boss, my former boss, and your current boss today, Jamie Raskin, one of the January 6 hoaxers.
Play Cut.
That if he had just conceded defeat the way that every other president in American history has done, that any of this would have happened.
And of course it would not have.
It all spun out of his pathological determination to stay in office even though he lost the election by more than 7 million votes, 306 in 232 in the Electoral College.
But there are ancillary parts of this story.
We have seen the mobilizing of a domestic violent extremist movement that was empowered The extremist movement empowered by Donald Trump.
When you say insane things like that, you should probably first comb your hair.
I don't know why Jamie Raskin has a challenge when it comes to that.
But does anybody buy this narrative, Baron?
Nobody's buying it.
It's the left-wing lawless radicals that are burning our cities, burning police stations all across the country in the summer of 2020.
It's the radical left, the crazy man shooting up the congressional baseball game.
Let's be honest, it's the liberals who are conducting hateful anti-Semitic attacks all across this country.
That's what's happening.
It is the left to blame for the complete destruction of the fabric of our country.
They're divisive, they're hateful, and they're vindictive, and we're not going to be taking it.
We're going to be fighting back day in and day out.
Yeah, there is one political party out of two political parties that has normalized violence in this nation, not just in the form of rioting, but in what they're doing in the criminal justice system.
Just think about what we've seen recently.
People that had felony records, people who were released and who committed crimes including murder after they were released.
That is a Democrat policy.
Thank you, my friend.
Happy Sunday.

I'm sorry.

We're going out to the Chateau d'Or for the weekend, so we're pretty chill.
What's the four-day holiday?
Just us.
Oh.
Jim and Darlene's holiday.
They have to get your boss back on the show.
He has been a busy bee.
He's doing, he is, but he finally called me the other day.
Because we're going to, and actually Kyron's going with us as well.
We're going to Warsaw.
And then two days in Budapest.
Oh, nice!
And yeah, it's a really, really good agenda.
So he called me and says, Jim, reassure me that there's not gonna be a nuclear war.
And I'm like, okay, there's not gonna be a nuclear war.
Who are your hosts in Hungary?
Melissa and John.
Oh, good!
Yeah, we're doing a conference with them.
Give it my best.
They've got a great, it's a great two-day agenda.
I don't know how he's going to be able to, you know.
The Danube Institute, right?
Yeah, yeah.
Including, in both places, because, you know, Kevin's deeply Catholic, so in both places we're going to visit the, you know, do a mass.
Uh-huh.
And then, which is kind of cool, and then the one we're going to lay a wreath in Warsaw that, it's the, I guess where John Paul gave a speech or something.
Yeah.
Yeah, so we're going to lay a wreath at that place.
Nice.
He's the vice president of the Heritage Foundation, Heritage.org.
That's a good place you could visit.
I'll tell him, I'll tell Kevin.
Oh, we're going to the house.
The House of Terror?
Yeah.
But if he wants to pay his respects, the mass grave from 1956, where they dumped Prime Minister Nadji's body.
Oh really?
Yeah, I'll do my next.
It's a special place of pilgrimage in the big cemetery.
I'm going to show him your dad's room.
Yeah.
So... When are you going?
any day.
Good.
First things first, thank you.
To all of you who have supported Mighty Oaks in the last few weeks, Today is the last day of our request to support this organization that helps veterans and active service duty members fight, slay the demons they bring home with them from those war zones.
My final request to you is every week-long counseling with their families at these remote ranches where they can find peace and tranquility costs $2,500.
Nobody pays a penny.
None of the veterans, none of the active service duty members pay a penny.
So if you would like to donate to cover the costs of one of these veterans for their faith-based counseling, their trip away, if you donate $2,500 today, the last day of the campaign, you will get to have a chat with me, a video conference, telephone conference.
Ask me whatever you want.
You will have a chance to chat with Dr. G off lines.
So if that appeals, or if you just want to donate on the last day to those who have given so much for us, Please go to SebGorka.com and click on the Restore Our Warriors banner at the top.
You're doing a great service to those who have done so much for us already, who we really can't repay, but at least we can do something to help them.
That is S-E-B-G-O-R-K-A, SebGorka.com and the Restore Our Warriors banner.
Two and a half thousand dollars and we're gonna have a chat together.
All right, it's Friday.
It doesn't feel like... Does it feel like a Friday, Jim Carrafano?
Hey, we're unscripted, right?
We are.
Hang on, let me just check my script.
No, no.
It says we are unscripted.
Can we talk about your last sponsor for just a second?
Would that be OK?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
You know, I did a lot of work with veterans.
We did a documentary called Veteran Nation, which is on YouTube.
But we worked with some of these groups that do these things.
And when people say, well, this is transformative, This, this saves, things like this save people's lives.
That these, some of these people are so fragile and broken.
And I, look, I don't want people to think, well, you go in the military and you come back broken.
It hasn't, it's not that.
It's, it's who knows, it's your genetics, it's bad luck or whatever.
Happens to firemen, policemen and everybody else.
I think the reason why this is so important to us is these are men and women that are out there fighting for us.
And in a gratitude, I think we feel a special obligation to try to help them.
And so, you know, I think there was veteran fatigue.
Everybody wanted to help a veteran, and now we kind of forget.
But the issues that veterans need don't go away.
And as a great friend of mine once said, veterans do not want a handout.
Sometimes they really need a hand up.
And some kids just need this moment to get their life back in focus so they can move forward.
And so if somebody wants to do something, that probably will actually do some good.
And there's no guarantee because some people are... sometimes you do this and you don't.
But sometimes this starts and it makes a big difference.
So this is a chance to transform a life.
That's the way I look at it.
Thank you, Jim.
They've already helped four and a half thousand veterans, this one organization, four and a half thousand.
And as we were told just last week, there are veterans who come and tell them on Monday because they don't want to be there at the beginning of the week.
I'm going to kill myself by the end of the week.
I'm just telling you.
And by the end of the week, they say, you've stopped me.
Thank you.
I'm not going there.
So this is real.
This is real.
So thank you, Jimmy.
We are unscripted.
If you want to be that person that can be part of that incredible mission, it's SebGawker.com and is the Restore Our Warriors banner right at the top.
And people like this, right?
They're not like other charities.
The group I work with in Wyoming, they do fly fishing, same thing.
Or Canines Warriors, which makes service dogs for us.
Something like 90-95% of what you donate goes directly to the program.
There's no massive overheads.
That's right.
It's not like 50% goes to pay for the air conditioning in the building.
These, and all of these things are run by men and women who just give all their, and some of them run themselves into the ground doing these things.
So, this money goes to the kids.
No, it's real.
It's absolutely real.
Alright, you are on a roll.
You just got back from Ukraine.
You're going to go off to Central Europe momentarily again.
Breaking news, I saw Putin has said the mobilization draft is going to end in two weeks' time.
What do we need to know?
Latest developments.
Can we put a little bit of a dampener on, a little cold shower on those who are saying nuclear war is imminent between America and Russia?
Let's start there.
I think the lesson we've learned here is even Putin isn't stupid.
And if you do things that are actually making things worse for you, you stop.
So the mobilization not only did not deliver more combat power to the front, in the way they did it, not only did it weaken them home domestically, but you know this, because you worked in the military, if you send somebody to the front that isn't equipped or trained, that person is not an asset.
It's a liability.
It is a liability.
You have to feed them, you have to clothe them, and then nobody wants to be around them, because those are the people that get you killed.
If every movie you see in World War II is true, who dies?
It's not funny because that's what happened is, you know, traditionally in World War II, as after Normandy and we were doing individual replacements to units, nobody wanted to know the new guy's name.
You don't get attached to the guy.
Right.
They'd wait a couple of days to see if he lived.
And if he wasn't killed in a couple of days, then you'd say, oh, hey, Jack, what's your name?
Oh, it's Jack.
Well, there you go.
So the other thing we saw, you know, we had this fit of missile firings the other day.
You know, I just grabbed an envelope.
You know, I literally grabbed an envelope and wrote on the back of the envelope.
It was about a billion dollars of missiles that they fired at Ukraine.
A billion dollars and they blew up stuff like playgrounds.
And I mean it's tragic they killed people but I mean things are completely not going to change the course of the war.
Putin can't afford to do that.
He can't afford to burn through a billion dollars.
How significant is it that some of the technology he used to attack Kiev was Iranian, Jim.
Well, look, this is the Russian leader being stupid.
I think what this shows is an American leader being stupid.
Here's an American president who still wants to do an Iran deal.
And everybody in town is saying as soon as the midterms are over, Biden's going to take another run at the Iran deal.
And the Iranians will probably take it.
But hang on, let's stop here for a second.
Given that there's, you know, conservatives like Tucker and others are questioning the Ukraine involvement, but you look at from AOC to Biden, everybody's bought in on the left on supporting Ukraine.
How the flip can they do a JCPOA Iran deal Mark 12 If we know unclassified that Iran is on the side of Putin, how do they sell that to their own base?
I'm curious.
You're giving, you know, one estimate, you're going to net them a trillion dollars.
And you're not going to stop the nuclear weapons program.
And they are aiding the Russians.
And they are murdering their citizens in our own country at the pace of about 400 people a week.
How this is... But let me ask you just, you know, totally apolitically.
Do they even have a shot?
Can the Democrats really resurrect Obama's Iran deal?
Well, I mean, the only thing that kept the deal from not being signed was the Iranians.
Yes.
And the Iranians just come back and say, oh yeah, fine.
And the Iranians might take the deal because it would help them domestically lower the pressure.
But what do the Europeans say?
Because they're not going to be happy.
No, the Europeans...
The Brits are going to go crazy.
Well, the Brits should go crazy because they have a new conservative government.
But the Europeans have kind of been like, "Oh, yeah, Iran deal, right?" Look, and remember, you know, we just went through this thing where everybody's mad at Saudi Arabia because they cut production and the price is going up.
And we know for a fact that the reason why our president is mad at the Saudis is not because the price of oil is going up, because he is the world leader in trying to strangle the oil and gas industry.
He's just mad at the prices going up before the midterms and it might cost him some votes.
And the reason why the Saudis and everybody else are flipping off the president is like, dude, You're trying to give a trillion dollars to the people that are trying to destroy us.
Yes, you're trying to give nuclear capacity to our enemies.
We're talking to Jim Carrafano, Vice President of the Heritage Foundation.

It was, you know, Marguerite Adger's like probably turned around.
I hope she survives.
Oh, you think she's in that much trouble?
I don't, well, I don't know, but it was just, it was... Yeah, not good.
Not a good start out of the gate.
I mean, she can't discipline the wing of her party that essentially, you know, want to bring the government down and turn it all over to the, you know, the socialists.
You know, I don't know if there's a future for her.
So, well, hope things get better.
Guys, did you see at 5 o'clock I'm doing John Solomon?
So, five o'clock from here on Skype.
I had a really nice chat with Mercy and Matt the other day on Ukraine, on their podcast.
Oh, good!
Yeah, it was really good, very constructive, very positive.
I need to get him back on, he's great.
Did you go to Texas?
Did you go to CPAC Texas?
I did, I did.
How big was it?
By comparison.
Well, smaller.
It was good.
I don't quite get the idea of the regional ones.
It just seems to me like aren't they competing with the national one, but what do I know?
Well, I think he was fed up with doing it there, so maybe he's going to just pick a new venue.
So they're going back to National Harbor.
They are?
Yeah.
Probably because they had that multi-year contract.
Yeah, so they're going back in February.
That should be huge, right?
Because it'll be, if the Republicans have a strong midterm and... What are the latest analyses of heritage?
Two, three seats in the Senate?
What do your guys think?
Yeah, I think our guys are in the optimistic time.
I talked to some folks in the RSC and the optimism there has significantly improved in the last 60 days.
Has or hasn't?
Has.
It went from pipe dream to we think we got a real shot.
In the Senate.
In the Senate, yeah.
Even Walker of all people seems competitive.
The less and less confidence in the polling that the polling is really adequately reflecting Republican strength, but we'll see.
Oh, what did I just say?
We've already got C and D in the can.
So I'm going to do that from home.
OK, you can scratch that.
Or I'm going to play you a cut from that great senior Trump official, Miles Taylor, that I want you to comment on.
That man who was present at the creation.
Sorry, it is 4.
It has a sarcastic title.
Jeff gave it a sarcastic title.
It's called High Ranking Senior Level Trump Official.
Yeah, I'll see that.
Yeah, we do Cal 15 first.
Yeah, the whole family's on Nantucket for a family wedding and I'm here by myself.
Kids, Katie, everyone.
Are you going up now?
No, I've got to go for Salem.
they're flying us all week to different town hall events so i gotta get on a plane so you you you you you you
you you you you you you you you you you you you Car Firearms is fighting for America and car executives stand with America first and are willing to put their brand's reputation on the line to stand for our freedoms.
Please support our Second Amendment Friday sponsor and get a good gun.
I carry a 9mm car every single day.

Check them out at KAHR.com.
We mentioned it in the tweet for the show.
Unbelievable.
The Deep State is everywhere.
Also the SEC.
What is the latest?
The SEC is investigating Elon Musk with regards to his Twitter deal.
I guess Palo Alto's buddies got on the phone to the SEC as well because you can't have a freedom of speech guy in charge of Twitter.
All right, back to national security.
Let's talk about somebody who paints himself as a former very high-level official at the Department of Homeland Security.
When I met him, he was always carrying a tray of coffee.
His name is Miles Taylor, and he was talking about January 6th.
Our friend knows a lot about Homeland Security.
He literally wrote the textbook on it.
So let's get his reaction.
Cut for Miles Taylor!
And the question was, what was his mindset?
I'm going to demystify that for America right now.
I've spent time with the guy in the Oval Office, the White House Situation Room, Air Force One.
I'll tell you what his mindset was on January 6th.
I believe Donald Trump wanted people to die.
He wanted people to die.
He wanted people to die who were elected officials en masse so he could call out the military, so he could invoke the Insurrection Act, so he could prevent the peaceful transfer of power.
That's not a conspiracy theory.
So, ignore politics, Jim.
How bad is it, how dangerous is it to have people with former government appointments say that a president who may be president again wants mass insurrection?
That's not good for America.
Well, look, I mean, that clip speaks for itself because it folds in with the entire indictment of January 6th, which is, if there was evidence That something had done, they would have had an impartial investigation and proved that.
What he just said was, let me tell you what was in his mind.
That's something out of Perry Mason.
In a court of law, that would count for zero.
It would count for strike that from the record.
But to the point of how this narrative has taken on a life of its own, I was with some folks the other day and they were talking about And these are people who, well, I'm not partisan.
And they said January 6th was an inflection point in a threat to democracy.
And I go, first of all, how nonsensical was that comment you just made?
First, election denying and concerns about election integrity have been bipartisan for over half a decade.
Matter of fact, everybody's seen the thing on Twitter of Democrats getting up time and time again and indicting the results of an election.
That is, by nature, a reflection of the hyper-partisan environment we're in, that both sides are doing that.
So that in itself is meaningless to somehow say, well, Trump doing it is a threat to democracy, but everybody else doing it, that's okay.
Whatever you think of what happened on January 6th, the next day the government went on as usual.
There was a peaceful transfer of power and nobody, even though some people believe that Joe Biden was not elected president, nobody has interfered with the governance of this country.
That to me does not seem like an inflection point in democracy.
That seems to me like Tuesday.
And then we keep hearing about this rise of right-wing extremism of which there is absolutely no physical evidence.
And so were there some yahoos present on January 6th?
Yeah.
Were there yahoos present all summer in BLM and Antifa riots trying to kill cops?
Yeah.
But to somehow to create a narrative that this was a great crisis in democracy, you know, akin to, you know, one of those, I love those movies, you know, when Gerard Butler, you know, saves the White House.
Yes.
This is some kind of Jack Ryan moment.
There's just no evidence for that.
It's just politics.
Let me ask you, as somebody who's concerned for national security, if there is a change in the House and the Senate, what is America's attitude to January 6th?
Do we have to have a real investigation?
Do we move on?
What do we do?
Well, I wouldn't be surprised if there's an investigation of the investigation.
But, you know, to this clip that we just had, I think there was a lesson learned that that should be learned by Republican presidents, which is if you you have to hire people that you trust and who are loyal.
Yes.
I mean, and so in part of this is like who's you know, let's be honest.
I mean, you know, this is not.
Not the only, but Miles Taylor is not unusual.
This is not the apprentice, right?
You can't just hire people if they work out great, and if you don't like them, fire them.
National security and foreign policy on the line.
You have to hire people who are serious, dedicated, committed, and loyal, And it'd be nice, you know what'd be nice?
It'd be nice if they were competent, too.
That kid was a completely incompetent jerk.
How do you ever get a job in government?
I don't ever know.
Yeah, this is the number one question, the number one question that disturbs me and worries me the most for a second Trump administration.

I think all his commercials should be voiced over by me saying, Warrior Poet Society.
But he's also a gun guy, of course he is, and he's gonna talk Second Amendment first.
John Lovell, welcome back to America First.
Great to be here.
Sorry for all you viewers if this is just too much John Lovell.
I am sorry.
Too much testosterone on a Friday.
Just too much dang testosterone.
But you do need somebody to do your voiceovers I heard on your channel, right?
I'm ready.
I'm trying to write a movie right now just to have you narrate it.
I don't even want to write a movie.
I just need you to narrate.
Alright, and don't forget it is the 60th anniversary of the James Bond movie franchise and I would make a rather good villain.
I have been told that I would make a very good Bond villain.
The platform is WatchWPSN.com.
That is WatchWarriorPoetSocietyNetwork.com.
And of course, you can go to WarriorPoetSociety.com.
All right, but before we get to all the manly stuff, or the purely manly stuff, let's talk about guns.
You are a former warrior wearing the cloth of the Republic.
You train men and women today in how to Be warriors at your various training sessions.
What I would like to ask you right now is you believe in the Second Amendment, you understand its purpose, you understand it's not about hunting and duck season or whatever, and we seem to be in this ostensible cycle that when Republicans are in charge, it's okay, relax.
When Democrats are in charge, they want to have assault weapons bans and all kinds of stuff.
There seems to be a kind of circularity or a sine wave of trends.
However, my contention is, and tell me if I'm just, you know, being hyperbolic, this is different.
When you see what the ATF is doing, when you see what they're doing to FFLs, to federally licensed firearms dealers, there seems to be a quality to this assault on the Second Amendment the likes of which we haven't seen in a long, long time.
Are you seeing that or am I exaggerating things, John?
I see the exact same thing.
I see a radicalized leftist ideology has gained power over really all of our institutions of power from the media to academia to deep state law enforcement to
Executive, legislative branches, I see an institutional check made against us and them recognizing they own all these seats of power, they're dropping all pretense for partisanship or live and let live or disagree and they're just forcing through whatever they can get away with.
Unabashedly, as if to say, yeah, it violates your basic rights, but what are you going to do about it?
And that's what I feel like.
It's extremely frustrating because some of the stuff is just downright illegal, in my opinion.
You must be hearing some stuff from people in the firearms industry that is horrific in terms of FFLs and so forth that are being inspected and having their licenses revoked.
Um, so I have heard recently that a lot of people trying to get FFL licenses have had extreme difficulty doing so, uh, lately.
So, uh, I don't know anyone personally that all of the sudden hasn't, but I'm not interviewing, that's not really on my radar.
What, what I'm really speaking the most about is all these anti-gun laws, uh, that are coming out in mass and to try to seize AR-15s, which are not assault weapons.
AR stands for Armalite.
It's a semi-automatic gun.
An assault weapon is capable of firing automatically.
And so AR-15s are not assault weapons by definition.
But regardless, they're just seizing everything that they can.
And it's illegal because the Second Amendment states no law should infringe upon the people's right to keep and bear arms.
Period.
It's there, black and white.
All right.
The good news is, however, thanks to this insanity, thanks to Biden and his cronies at the ATF and elsewhere, we have seen gun purchases break records for every month for more than two years.
And the estimates are that there are between 20 and 30 million brand new gun owners out there, especially under COVID.
We saw that a lot.
You're traveling the nation.
You're training these people who are, you know, new first-time buyers.
What is your message right now?
This is the Second Amendment hour on America First.
What is your message to those who are either brand new owners of weapons or are thinking right now, hey, that Second Amendment thing, the Founding Fathers might be right and I need to buy a gun.
First off, I'd say welcome to the gun community.
We're sacred protectors.
I carry a gun every day of my life, not because I think somebody's really after me.
It's because I'm a sacred protector of that brotherhood, warrior, poet, or whatever banner you're kind of flying under.
We want to be able to stand in the gap.
The only way to stop a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a gun.
And whether that's somebody lurking around the corner, You know, ready to attack you or whether it's a growing tyrannical government threat.
A firearm is firearms belonging to the people is the failsafe of a dying Republican.
So way to go buying firearms.
I think the massive amounts of record-breaking firearm sales year over year for who knows how long Compared with all the anti-gun legislation shows a hilarious juxtaposition that our rulers, our ruling class, is completely at odds with the main people in the United States.
And the only way to be able to keep your freedom, folks, is to take it.
That's the only way, and freedom must be taken over and over and over.
So I encourage people to get guns.
Never, ever, ever, for any reason, give them up.
Whatever bullying comes, keep your guns.
You have a constitutional right to them.
And also, I would say, in addition to firearms in general, make moves towards self-sufficiency.
If you cannot feed your family and have some type of semblance of self-sufficiency, you are an easy, ready-made slave.
All right, we're going to have a recommendation on that self-sufficiency right here on America First in a moment, but he's absolutely right.
As the CEO and founder of Carr Firearms always reminds us when he comes on the show, every single genocide in modern history began by the disarming of the citizens who were killed by that regime.
Get a gun, get training from people like John, and stand up for your civil rights.
Number one is the Second Amendment.
You're listening to America First.
One on one.
We'll be with John momentarily.
It's the manhood hour.

Thank you.
Thank you.
They really are truly insane.
I have to thank Robert Darvey for sending me this clip.
It's actually, I think it's like 10 minutes long and I just took the last 30-40 seconds, asked Mr. G to get a clip for us.
This is a Hollywood, you know, Hollywood director, kind of mouthpiece politically for the crazies in Los Angeles.
And it gives you a glimpse behind the curtain of what the left is really planning for America.
His name is Matthew Cook and this is from his social media account.
Play cut.
Go ahead.
Keep using the old slave laws to false multiply your votes.
Keep tricking all your scared, angry, ignorant old white people into supplication before your orange golden calf.
But we're gonna beat you.
We're gonna replace you.
And we're gonna change the culture.
Not this election, but out in the streets.
Because you cannot have this land.
You cannot have this country.
It was never yours in the first place.
What, and it was yours?
Just that language.
Listen to that language.
We're going to replace you.
I thought replacement theory was a conspiracy conjured up by Tucker Carlson.
We're going to quote-unquote beat you?
We're going to beat you on the streets?
That's kind of Ray Epps language, isn't it?
Isn't that the language of insurrection, Matthew Cooke?
You'll beat us.
You'll fight us on the streets.
You'll replace us.
You'll take back the country from us because we never had it.
And what you did?
Hollywood owned America.
This is why we actually fight.
This is the real reason.
Because this isn't the Democrat Party.
Yes, we know the history of the Democrat Party.
The racism, the bigotry, the KKK, the Jim Crow laws, the slave traders of the South.
That is the legacy of the Democrat Party.
There was no such thing as a Southern strategy.
That's garbage.
But in the 20th century, It kind of ameliorated to a certain extent.
Some sane people got involved in Democrat politics.
And some patriots, like JFK.
Yeah, okay, he was personally a problematic individual.
But he loved America.
And he was an ardent anti-communist.
These people are communists.
hate America.
And that's the difference between us and them.
It is the one dividing line.
It's not political parties.
It's not skin color.
It's not sexual proclivity.
It is whether you love America or whether you hate America.
That is the only thing that divides us today.
And those are the stakes of the next election in just over three weeks' time.
Next up, it's that time.
It's the manhood hour.
Are you ready?
John's gonna join us, he's coming back.
What a perfect guest!
The founder, the former ranger, the guy who's been it, seen it, done it, got the t-shirt, got the scars to match.
The founder of the Warrior Poet Society is going to be with us.
We have the five standard questions about the assault on masculinity on Manhood, the pillar of Western civilization and what it's going to take to save it.
Stay with us here on America First with me, Sebastian Gorka, for the Manhood Hour.

Today, somebody who really, he could be a guest every single week.
He is a warrior par excellence, which is why he founded the Warrior Poet Society.
John Lovell, welcome back to America First!
Always a pleasure.
Hope you're doing well and all your viewers.
Yes, thank you kindly.
Likewise.
So you are known to our viewers as the head of the Warrior Poet Society.
You are a true warrior.
You still train people to be men amongst men.
For those who haven't tuned in to the multiple segments we've shared with you on our Second Amendment Friday part of the show, just give us the little bio.
Who is John Lovell?
What have you done in your life so far?
Sure.
So I have worn many different hats.
Since you led with Warrior, I'll Speak to that.
I've been fighting in some way most of my life, whether it's through wrestling or martial arts, or it's through training, or it's my time in special operations doing trips across the pond playing war games.
I've been doing that, but also I have been a businessman.
I've been a Christian foreign missionary, and so yeah.
I had some different roads along the way.
Don't forget, would you mention your network and what you do now, not just in terms of training, but your platform?
Sure, so I founded the Warrior Poet Society.
This is a values-based community of people that may be listening right now, but it's basically those who live for higher purpose and who are ready to sacrifice in the defense of others.
We're sacred protectors.
We're an ancient brotherhood that stretches way back.
I just own the current copyright trademark stuff, but Warrior Poet Society and to help Promulgate our movements to the masses.
We have YouTube content.
We also have a streaming service.
That's watch WPSN.com WPSN, Warrior Post Society Network.
We have entertaining shows and all kinds of classes.
So in case you're not able to attend one of our in-person physical classes on how to defend yourselves with Firearms, hands, blades, or otherwise.
You're able to tune in, take our classes online at WatchWPSN.com.
I love it.
WatchWPSN.com.
All right.
That's the intro.
That's his credentials.
Let's get to the meat of the matter.
I've got a handful of questions I ask all our guests.
The first is, is masculinity, is manhood in trouble today in our civilization, John?
It's just a fastball right down the middle.
Let me hit it out of the park.
Of course, it's in dire, dire problems.
And what I noticed, and something that really even fed the necessity for something like the Warrior Poet Society to exist, is as an antidote to the pendulum swings between being an out-of-touch, hyper-masculine bravado, and not in the real sense of masculine anything.
It's just a chest-beating bravado.
It's kind of a counterfeit masculinity that Write some parts very large at the expense of other parts altogether.
And then the other type of masculinity, which I really see far more of today in age, is something that isn't bold or isn't strong or long-suffering.
It is more of funny.
It's very sensitive.
It's in tune with your emotions in the highest way.
And it's really at the expense of that Gritty, traditional conception of masculinity.
And our answer is, of course, to not be warrior or poet.
It's to be both and.
You need to be a lover and a fighter.
A lion and a lamb, a warrior and a poet, and anything less than both of those things makes you deficient as a man and as a human being.
All right, we're going to discuss in detail what each of those facets means, the warrior side and the poet side, what he teaches his people at his courses, the people who are members of the Warrior Poet Society.
But let's look at the flip side.
What has been the source, John, of the greatest Oh, to choose one.
to masculinity and manhood because there are so many potential things to choose from it could be a lack of faith lack of leadership in the church the assault on marriage feminism the media hollywood if you had to choose one and i know you're a man of faith if you had to choose one what has been the most damaging vector of attack against modern manhood oh to choose one i can't commit it's too much
It's this just cocktail mix of toxicity that has been chipping away and eroding the foundations of masculinity.
But I think probably the removal of God from our society.
Only God who creates men decides what men are.
And if you lose the author's intent, then we're adrift in relativism.
Whatever society's definition of man is just as valid as a different society's or a different individual's.
Who's to say what a man should or shouldn't be when you remove the author, the inventor of manhood, then you can be somewhat adrift.
And so I would say that, but I know you told me one, I'll do two, the destruction of the family unit.
Men who are providers but really check out and aren't really nurturing men in making men what they are.
You're not leading them along with a rite of passage.
I'm going to sneak in a second one and say the destruction of the family unit.
All right.
And the source of that, have you identified where that is coming from?
Is it just secular ideology?
Is it a lack of leadership amongst so-called Christian churches?
Where is the beginning, the genesis of that assault on the family unit?
You know, I'm not exactly sure.
There's two answers that I could hold.
One is far more systematic and nefarious, and I don't want to think that way.
And the other is just people viscerally hate God or accountability or any type of high standard and ideal which we feel that weight on, which we would rather shrug off and say, "You know what?
I'm accountable to me only and whatever I would like to do from moment to moment." Perhaps it's that.
But I do really fear because I see so many things playing together to make an outright attack on masculinity.
I think that powers that be who have power already and want more and more power would love to see men defanged and declawed so that we are not a threat to their seizing of more power and for longer.
And in your life to date, I think we're a similar vintage or a little younger than I am, it's never been as egregious as it has to date, has it?
In your experience, that all-out assault on what it means to be a man, we're at the top of the enemy's game right now, correct?
It seems so.
You know, it really does seem so that men are just checked out.
The average video game playing male plays, you know, 16, 20 hours a week, and he's 35 years old.
And like, wow, we are just checked out.
Whether you're looking at our attendance at university or our performance in the workplace, And what I see just across the board is men that really have abdicated their responsibility as emboldened leaders.
Even women who I know who are single and the market looking for men, just kind of, they're good women, they're saying, where have all the good men gone?
Where's the boldness?
Where's the strength?
Where's the grit?
Because I think there's a lot of people that really miss that.
Yeah, absolutely.

Amazing video sent by one of our listeners of an army vet in his pickup truck at the side of the road on the phone with the VA, the Veterans Administration Suicide Line.
The police officer brings him off that ledge, gives him a hug and helps him out.
Twenty-two of our veterans are committing suicide every single day for active service duty.

What is it to be a man?
$3,500, you get to talk with me.
That's S-E-B-G-O-R-K-A, Seb Gorka.com, and the Restore Our Warriors banner at the very top.
It's the Manhood Hour.
We're talking to John Lovell of the Warrior Poet Society.
You can watch all their content at watchwpsn.com.
All right, next question.
Easy one.
What is it to be a man?
What are the characteristics that a true man must demonstrate, John?
To be a true man, we need to be able to protect and provide And really, I think there's something else that's just, hey, pay the bills and keep the ninjas away.
I think there should be some type of qualitative, I want to make sure that my family is thriving in not just a physical sense.
I want to be able to care for them.
It's a way of nurturing, but it's done a little different the way than my wife would default to.
So I don't have a good word for it, but that is the sentiment, right?
And so where I am protecting and providing for my wife, it's very important to me as a man to also make sure that I'm being vulnerable with her, that I'm emotionally connected with her, not just physically.
That's yay for that, man, right?
Uh, but, uh, I think I need to be romantic with her.
That's part of masculinity as well.
And, uh, so I think that right there is, uh, pretty good.
I would further add really the test of not just a man in general, but a successful man.
So let's not just do manhood.
Let's be successful men.
I would say that's all contingent predicated upon what priorities you set in life.
So what's your priorities list and how well do you balance your time, your energy, and your strength between those priorities?
What about outside of the family unit?
So you are a member of that exclusive brotherhood of Americans who've worn the cloth of the Republic, who've fought for the nation, who've bled for the nation.
What is your role as a real man with other men?
How do you demonstrate masculinity in the brotherhood of man?
Very good.
Yes, I've worn some different uniforms, you know, and so The military is an obvious brotherhood.
Warrior Poet Society is a brotherhood as well.
But it's really just anyone who espouses our values.
It's kind of like you hear our creed and you say, I think that's me.
I'm like, well then, by God, you're one of us, brother.
And so I appreciate that.
I recognize that I am my brother's keeper.
I'm not meant to shore up strength just for me and my family alone.
We're supposed to be of service to our family of faith.
Our communities, our workplaces.
I want to be a productive member.
I'm going to leave the world better than the way I entered it.
And so, God willing, that's my journey.
And so, I would like to be able to make an impact, to make a difference.
Men are given strength not to hoard it for yourselves, but to help carry the burdens of others.
We need our stuff so well together, we can not only handle our junk, which men are less and less able to do, but we have our stuff so in line, we have margin to be able to carry the difficulties, the tragedies, and the weights that others carry as well.
You heard what we said earlier about the Mighty Oaks Foundation that supports veterans who are contemplating suicide.
Do you have a theory as to why we have this inordinate epidemic of combat veterans who contemplate doing that?
Is there something that the Brotherhood isn't providing them, or the system isn't providing, you know, the bravest of the brave?
Have you thought about that, John?
I have, and before I go into it, thank you for the question.
I just want to say, really, A true thanks for loving my brothers in arms, and that is a tragic video that I just saw, but thank you for giving and raising awareness, and for all you that are listening and donating.
That means a great amount to me.
You're welcome.
Now, to my brothers that are struggling, there are internal wounds that are very, very difficult to heal.
I was a Christian in service.
I saw some bad stuff.
I had to do some bad stuff.
I do feel like I had a very perfect and awesome coping mechanism, and that was my faith in Jesus Christ.
I was able to heal in great ways through that.
Some people do not have that relationship.
They don't have a bounce-back mechanism, and there's also some real physical factors as well, which may need different treatments in addition, and I'm sympathetic to that, of traumatic brain injury.
That's a real deal.
PTSD, it's an internal wound.
That's a real big deal, but I think practically speaking that a lot of veterans need to find a new mission.
They need to reintegrate toward a new goal in a completely different context, and that's a civilian context.
And I remember civilians can be extremely difficult to integrate with sometimes because you see
some weaknesses that are widespread in the civilian community compared to the military stuff and what I'd point out is they have like yeah but civilians also have a lot of strengths compared to a vet entering the workplace and so it's all about improvise, adapt, overcome, understand who your new brothers in arms are to your left and right, find a new mission, integrate in, forgive any misgivings because they're going to have to forgive us of our You know, brash, unpolitically correct, unpolished junk as well.
And you move on.
Find a new community and understand that though other people carry different traumas that do not look like you who saw your brothers cut in half in firefights into ribbons, understand people deal with their own traumas.
And you should not hold the world out at arm's length just because they weren't with you in the foxhole, so to speak.
Find a new mission.
Find a new community and adapt to it.
And I would say that needs to happen.
And I just, there's other organizations that are really ministering to the soldier.
I just wanted to spend a moment to speak a very practical and tough word to my brothers that made all the difference to me.
If you don't do what I'm saying, PTSD, which starts off bad, will get worse and fester over time.
Well, thank you for that message to your brothers.
Please, if you want to help the individuals he's talking about, The last day today is SebGorker.com and the Mighty Oaks Foundation.
Please help this incredible cause.

Great patriots like Mike Lindell, who's under the gun.
You heard the story he told of...
Three unmarked FBI vehicles ambushing him at a drive-thru to take his phone from him.
Why?
Because he's a conservative and he's a friend of President Trump's.

But you've got to use the secret code G-O-R-K-A.
All right, my favorite question of all on the Manhood Hour.
Lots of different answers from our various guests.
Who or what was most influential to you growing up in understanding the qualities of a true man.
It can be your father, your grandfather, a coach.
For Jack Carr, the author of The Terminal List, it was the heroes he read about in works of fiction and works of history.
For John Lovell, who had the greatest impact?
I'm going to have to go with quite a few because it seems I was able to piece together different defining attributes.
And I wish it had happened all up at front, but I— I have not arrived, even as our own warrior poet ethos of like, I haven't arrived, I haven't arrived into the man that I am meant to be and I am in the process of becoming.
I'm still on that journey, so to speak.
My father had the very first and initial role and he taught me how to work hard, to not make excuses.
He also taught me how to focus, which was ever so important, how to provide for a family.
He modeled that extremely well.
A wrestling coach.
I was big into wrestling in high school.
Really taught me about personal sacrifice and being able to have grit.
And toughness and aggression that should be harnessed.
And that was a very, very good thing, though it's certainly out of vogue because people don't understand how those are good and healthy attributes for men.
But I learned that from a wrestling coach.
Other than that, I'd have to definitely make a beeline for what Jack Carr said of some of the personages that I read in literature or who I would read.
Uh, the biblical accounts as well.
These would be heroes as well, and then you can piece some of it together through movies, and then you just find noteworthy men along the way, and you say something like, wow, that man really has an incredible marriage.
I would love a marriage like that.
And then you just lean in, and you watch how they confront their wives, and then how they turn and confront the world.
And then, how do you raise kids?
And I saw so much of them.
Most people's kids, I don't want to be around.
Most little kids are just little brats.
You know, and just, I don't want that, and then you get around some other friends who are raising their kids a different way, and you're like, these kids are wonderful!
This is awesome!
Hey, if you kick the bucket early, I'll take your kids.
These are great, wonderful kids.
Way to go!
And so, you're able to just find real people out there that are crushing certain aspects of masculinity, and I just emulate that, and so I have built and, you know, kind of, The man I wanted to be over the cross of dozens of different men.
All right, I have to ask, inside the Brotherhood, you know, inside the Army, is there anybody you want to recognize that had a real impact on you?
You're speaking military Brotherhood in particular?
Yes.
Well, I won't answer the way that you wanted.
I got enough hardcore stuff in the military and all my brothers-in-arms you know, past, present, and, you know, future.
I love them, learn great stuff from them.
But really, when I was in Ranger Battalion, learning, you know, and really understanding how to press in against fear and build courage and be able to embrace the suck and build intestinal fortitude and grit and emotional, mental, and physical toughness.
The stuff that I was really the most thirsty for was some of the other sides.
As we're warrior poet, I recognized I was very heavy on warrior.
Yeah.
And I needed poet aspects.
And it was really an important work that I found.
It was John Eldridge.
He's an author.
He wrote a book called Wild at Heart.
And he brought in the aspects I was already very familiar, intimately familiar with, of masculinity.
The boldness, the strength, the grit, the adventure.
But he also married that with something that was more tender and vulnerable and romantic.
Something that could awe and appreciate beauty.
You know, he brought the poets to my doorstep and really helped me on an early adventure.
But it was him that really spoke into when I was at an extremely high-charged masculine environment that helped me balance out in a very healthy way.
I know too many brothers in arms that have really got certain aspects of masculinity down very well.
They're heroes of it.
They're pinnacles, beacons of certain aspects of masculinity, and they go off to war to be tremendous successes, only to come home and be failures in life.
Yeah.
And I'm not picking on anyone because I deeply love my brothers, but some of them have really figured out war, but they haven't figured out how to stay married and how to not lose friendships or have their kids turn against them.
Right.
And so...
That's the warrior-poet journey that I'm on.
I want to be able to be successful at war and defense, but also successful at life, relationships, and romance.
Well, that's why I love this show, because I learn so much as well.
Never heard of this author, never heard of this book.
I'm ordering it right now.

Okay, so the most important question is the so what question.
You've discussed for us where you learned to be a man.
You've discussed what the qualities are of being a man.
And you've discussed who influenced you the most in your understanding.
Let's go to the next generation.
You've said it is clearly under assault.
Masculinity is described as toxic, despite it being the pillar of Western civilization upon which everything is built.
What are the lessons?
What are the things that we must be teaching our young boys and young men right now, John?
Give us the bullet points, the bluff points, for the power point for the kids that we're training to be the men of the future.
Wow.
This is just another softball down the middle.
But I mean, like, this is like an opportunity.
It's like, John, I would like you to go on a curmudgeon old man rant.
Please, please, please.
Absolutely.
I mean, you look pretty young, so we'll say it's a young man's rant.
But go ahead.
Very good.
Uh, you need to be able to stand on your own two feet.
The world is dangerous, and it's difficult, and it is coming at you.
It doesn't play fair, and if you roll over and just be a victim, you will be... you will know that you're weak.
The world will know you're weak.
It will not get you ahead in any way, and though the world would like you to be a weak, Victim, don't fall for it.
You need to stand on your own two feet.
You need to get a job.
You need to be long-suffering.
Shock your employer by showing up on time and leaving a little bit late.
Do what you say you're gonna do.
Actually be honest and please, for the love of God, have some semblance of sanity as the whole world seems to be dismissing all semblance of logic in exchange for this Woke, deconstructionist, postmodern ideology.
It is internally contradictory.
It is incoherent in the biggest sense.
And a man needs to be practical.
He needs to be strong.
He needs to be logical.
And so we've just exchanged some of the most important aspects of masculinity.
The real, the raw, the stuff that is tried and true for millennia.
We've traded it in for just something that is so weak And useless.
And if you follow it, you will be weak and useless yourself.
And I just don't want anyone to be bound with that.
I want men to actually be able to finally shake off the fog of moral relativism and just say, hey, guess what?
Some stuff is evil and some stuff is right.
I stand for the good, even if it hurts me.
Even if I lose friends or someone's going to shout at me in all caps lock on Facebook or Twitter's going to censor me or kick me off, whether it hurts me at my employment, I'm going to stand on my own two feet with my shoulders back against the world and I'm going to do what's right.
I'm going to do what's sane.
Even if the rest of the world bullies me and calls me names, come at me.
I'm a man and I'm not moving.
I love it.
I love it.
It's not just moral rectitude, though.
You've got to be fit as well.
I know he's fit.
It's taken me a while to work it out, but Dr. G Mark II has arrived, and I'm very, very grateful to Dr. Ashley Lucas and her team at MyPhD Weight Loss.
I've lost 40 pounds with her program.
First diet in 20 years.
It's worked for me, and it's worked for my wife, and she is very, very happy.
Look at that.
That is a three-piece suit I had custom-made.
Doesn't quite fit me anymore.
That's what happens when you go from being a warrior to being, you know, your target weight.
You could be too.
If it worked for me, it can work for anyone.

John, with regards to that last point, I see this everywhere I go, and especially after COVID.
I see people say, well, I can't say that in public and I can't post that on social media because they might do something to me.
I find that fundamentally, it's the antithesis of being a man, but I find it fundamentally un-American.
When did that happen?
I don't know.
We've traded in the heroes that were worthy of being emulated and instead celebrated victims.
And so...
I don't know, but I can't possibly believe that deep down inside of every man there's some lion that's been caged and muzzled that desperately wants to get out.
And so I would play upon people's greater impulses and just say, hey man, listen, the heroes that spoke to you as a child, the ones that moved your souls, remember them.
They were your heroes because they were ready to stand against insuperable odds and do the hard thing.
That's what adventure is, and that's what life's supposed to be.
We don't know what's going to happen, but we want to make an impact and make a difference, and the goal is not to live as comfortably as you can for as long as you can.
That's the coward's route.
The goal is to have a life That is worthy of something.
It's to live a life worthy of the calling that you've received, Ephesians 1.
And so, that's what I would beckon people to do.
You can say that on social media.
You can say that in your workplace.
You can say it face-to-face.
It's only you thinking that you can't makes it true.
And so, no, you can.
And you know what?
Cowardice spreads.
And it has spread greatly, but so does courage.
And you could be the change agent.
It doesn't mean it won't hurt.
I'm just saying it.
At long term, looking back, it'll be worth it.
And I'm standing and I'm getting hit.
I have suffered absolutely financially.
I've suffered in my career.
I've suffered in my relationships because I'm standing up for what's right.
But I basically, ultimately, at the end of my days, I am going to stand before an audience of one and give an account, and I want that account to be a good one.
Yeah, that is perhaps the easiest way to visualize these challenges, that the decision you're making will not be judged by those around you, it will be judged in eternity by your Creator, and that's how you have to think about it.

Now, we know you're a warrior in large part because you are the head of something called the Warrior Poet Society, so you kind of gave it away there, my friend.
So, you have to be positive in your attitude, but it's the question I ask all of our guests.
It's how we close the interview.
Where do you stand right now?
You've got the sit-rep, you've got the analysis of the battlefield, the in-sum.
Are you Are you pessimistic right now, or are you optimistic when you look at the assault on masculinity and manhood?
Can we win?
Eventually, maybe.
I'm pretty pessimistic.
Wow, wow, wow, wow.
I'm surprised.
The hesitation, and then the eventually maybe.
Alright, you've shocked me.
Tell me why.
Right now, we have an institutional check made against us.
A leftist ideology, completely antithetical to our values, has an institutional check made.
I did a YouTube video recently talking about, could we win?
It was basically this exact question, and then I compared it to the revolution, which we kind of barely squeaked a win out by the skin of our teeth against the greatest military force in the world.
The British Empire, and basically I superimposed some of our vices.
What if we were just gloriously entertained by these screens constantly?
What if we were not really educated so that reformation or revolution was really even possible?
What if we were completely given over to moral relativism, which makes reformation and revolution impossible?
What if there was a perfect police surveillance state at us, of like, strategically, tactically, I don't see a way that you can really win in that current chessboard.
However, there are some promising things going on.
I see alternate forms of media popping up.
You are a part of that.
I mentioned you in the video and some of these other news sources.
I see more conservative entertainment platforms popping up.
I see people fed up with all the craziness that's going on on the Hill and these crazy laws and people are just having enough and there's significant pushback in those areas.
I'm seeing people check out of Higher academia with all the nonsense that it's putting out and so I do see pushback in which case I wonder if we're going to be able to regain some institutions of power and if we regain enough of them to Then maybe we can start really winning in the culture war again.
Uh, but, I mean, big tech censorship, I'm facing it all the time.
It feels like everywhere you look, we're asking permission on borrowed terrain, wondering whether we're just gonna get cancelled next.
So there are some encouraging things, but overall, Yax, the overarching question of how's the battlefield look, the situational rep, it's very, very bleak.
It doesn't mean we can't change the chess board, but right now, we can't win this chess game.
We have to retake institutions of power first.
Well, I think it's really the first part of your answer.
It is up to us.
The victory depends on us, as it always has.
And as the great Rush Limbaugh taught us, desperation is un-American.
It is never time to despair.
Let's cheer ourselves up, as ever, on Friday with the Manhood Hour.
Let's lead off with the words of my former boss, the 45th President of the United States.
We will not bend.
We will not break.
We will not yield.
We will never give in.
We will never give up.
We will never back down.
We will never, ever surrender.
My fellow Americans, our movement is far from over.
