Time Text
Thank you.
Greetings, you're listening to America First with me, Sebastian Gorka.
It's official, 21 days to go, three weeks until the midterm elections.
That's why, what day is it today?
I do believe it might be Tuesday, which means we are in Atlanta at the headquarters of WGKA.
Every single day we're in a different city with my great colleagues at Salem, Dennis Prager, Mike Gallagher, It was first Tampa, then Orlando, today Atlanta to meet our listeners, get the bass energized, and then tomorrow we will be in Philadelphia.
A packed program for you today.
Let me just rattle off a few stories so you understand what we have ahead of us in the next three hours.
The man who, sadly, bears the title President of the United States, has spent more than a quarter, I do believe my American colleagues say a fourth, of his time at home in Delaware.
Yes!
One day out of four, he's not even in D.C.
He's not in the Oval Office.
Why?
We'll give you the details.
For some reason, Tulsi Gabbard, not a conservative, Now no longer a member of the Democrat Party, is campaigning for some key America First candidates.
This is a worrisome development.
We'll give you the details later.
Carl Rittenhouse, big announcement on Friday concerning somebody who's a great friend of our show, and especially of the Second Amendment.
He's stepping into the media world.
And that individual you may or may not have heard of, a sad, pathetic individual called James Corden, a lovey of the left and late night comedy.
Well, it seems that he is...
Not a nice person.
We have some information of how he behaves when he's not in the TV studio, but perhaps the biggest story of the day.
Boston University.
This is from the Postmillennial and the Daily Mail.
This is Hannah Nightingale, researchers at Boston University's National Emerging Infectious Diseases Laboratories.
Have created, let me be clear with the wording here, have created a new strain of the COVID-19 virus, echoing experiments which many believe led to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Now, let's just start with that one sentence opening this article.
Boston University, their lab for infectious emerging diseases Probably should be a play.
Look, I'm no scientist.
I'm a PhD in political science, not the hard sciences.
My dissertation was on jihadi terrorism and the difference between religiously motivated terrorism and political terrorism, the difference between the likes of Al-Qaeda and the IRA.
But I think I'm right in saying if you're researching emerging infectious diseases, You should be looking into ways to prevent them, to ameliorate them, to make it so that when the next one occurs, we have a way to deal with it, to understand them.
You shouldn't be making existing ones.
Worse.
That's the kind of thing that, hmm, the Soviet Union did in their massive illegal biochemical weapons empire called Biopreparat that they built after they signed the 1972 bioweapons treaty with Richard Nixon before the ink was dry.
On the Soviet Union's signature of the Bioweapons Treaty, they were building the largest illicit weapons development empire for biological agents.
It's the kind of thing, you know, dictatorships do, like Communist China in Wuhan, in the only four-level, four-biodefense lab, where maybe there's some connection to COVID, because I think it came from Wuhan as well.
Why is a civilian university in America?
This isn't even Fort Detrick.
This isn't the U.S.
Army.
This isn't some super secret element of the intelligence community.
This is a civilian university.
And I wonder, I tweeted this out as soon as I saw the story in the Daily Mail.
Is Fauci involved?
Did Fauci And his organization that he heads and has headed for the last 37 years?
The National Institute for Allergies and Infectious Diseases?
The man who gets paid more than any government employee?
Almost twice what the President of the United States earns?
$416,000 a year of your taxpayer monies?
Does he have any connections?
To Boston University?
Maybe Natalie Winters, our great expert on Wuhan, on China, is working on that right now.
Sorry, that's only the first sentence.
Let's continue from Hannah Nightingale.
This new variant is a hybrid of the Omicron variant, which spread over the winter, and the original virus that was discovered in Wuhan.
With this hybrid killing 80% of the mice researchers infected, according to the Daily Mail.
That's pretty effective.
For a biological agent?
For a chemical agent, that would be amazing.
But even for a biological agent, 80% of the subjects exposed to it died?
Researchers at Boston University found that when infected with the Omicron variant, a similar group of mice all survived and experienced mild symptoms.
That's weird.
Hang on.
The Omicron variant that we needed more boosters for had to still wear masks.
None of the mice died?
I thought it was like the Black Plague.
I thought that's why we had to shut down the schools and the shops.
The Omicron killed zero mice.
But the latest one, what should we call it?
Should we call it COVID 2022 or Boston University's variant?
The new research, which has not yet been peer-reviewed, centers around the role of spike proteins in the pathogenic and antigenic behaviors of the virus.
Researchers extracted Omicron's spike protein.
That's the thing that allows the virus to penetrate the human cells, to get inside and destroy them.
Which binds to and, oh sorry, I was showing my knowledge there.
That's exactly what he says in the next sentence.
Researchers extracted Omicron spike protein which binds to and invades human cells and attach those to the original virus that emerged in Wuhan.
What happens?
Here's just a hypothesis for you.
And please, I'm interested in what you think.
Here's just a simple question.
What happens if COVID-like symptoms are evinced, are demonstrated by Americans in the east of our country.
Boston, New York.
What happens if the fatality rate of those individuals is significantly higher?
We know that the original COVID is not dangerous.
If you don't have underlying conditions, if you don't have respiratory problems, if you don't have a compromised immune system, your chances of dying are minimal.
If you're healthy, if you're young, if you're a child, it is nugatory.
It's negligible.
It's almost zero.
21 days before the election, What happens if suddenly that changes, or if there are simply reports of people succumbing to something that looks like the flu, that looks like the original COVID, but with a much more significant death rate?
What's China going to say?
What's Russia going to say?
Will the conspiracy theories be out of control?
I'm Sebastian Gorka.
This is America First on the Salem News Channel, across the nation, broadcasting from our buddies at WGKA in Atlanta.
We are on our battleground talkers tour with Dennis Prager, who is out having a cigar right now.
I'm so jealous.
But I'm here with you.

All righty.
Mic's on.
Mic's are on to the video feed.
Hello, Rumble viewers.
1,200 of you.
Welcome, everybody.
Yeah, so again, the cuts are all good.
Can you play me cut nine?
Well, hello!
My name is Carly, and I'm a first-year Arlington County teacher at Long Branch Elementary School.
I'm also a queer person, and the proposed model policy on trans students is just one of my many issues I have with Glenn Youngkin.
In May, I graduated with my master's in special education.
I did my master's study on queer inclusion in public schools, specifically because of the rise in anti-trans hate in public schools across this nation.
My study told me that including trans students in all spaces is best practice.
It also told me that there are trans kids of every age.
One I actually worked with in my student teaching, he was in the third grade.
I found that autistic students, the population I work with, may experience genderqueerness more than other students.
All of this brings me to my most important point.
Why does this government not trust me with my master's degree I worked hard and paid for to know how to do my job?
Why is my profession and expertise so policed?
Love it.
Uh, eleven.
Eleven.
Today in America, there are women who have been turned away from emergency rooms while having miscarriages.
Losing wanted pregnancies.
What is he talking about?
They need to wait until they're sicker before they get the care they need.
Is he smoking Hunter's crack pipe?
What is he talking about?
I guarantee he's getting it.
Sometimes they give you that abortion pill the day after when you have a miscarriage.
Yeah.
And they're just making something up.
How much time do we have?
have 20 seconds all right you
Out of today's news, here's Dr. Sebastian Gorka.
It's amazing!
I'm in Georgia.
Is that right, Eric?
I'm here with Eric Hansen, Mike Gallagher's expert, master of all things broadcast, who's making our shows possible.
All of ours.
Mike in the early morning, Dennis before me, and now yours truly.
And what's Dennis doing right now?
Jeff, are you there?
He's here.
Jeff.
Yes, I'm here.
What should I do about Dennis Prager walking out of this room as I have to sit down and broadcast and saying, do you know where I'm going now, Seb?
And smile.
He had like the Joker's grin.
And he said, do you know where I'm going now, Sebastian?
And he said, I'm going to have a cigar.
Isn't that mean?
Why don't you just light up a cigar?
I would love to, but you know what I said at the end?
Okay, here's the test.
Here's the test.
At the end, he said we should do a cigar show together.
We should have at least a couple of segments, and I said every month.
What do you think, Jeff?
No, I like that idea.
I just want to be involved.
But how are we going to do that?
We've got to find a place.
Where I can smoke the cigars, you can smoke the cigars, because Dennis is going to do it from home and he can light up.
Anyway, we'll talk about that when I'm back in the swamp.
Okay, we're going to talk to Doug Mastriano.
Is he on the line yet?
Yes, no, somebody talk to me.
Okay, it helps when you tell me that the guest not on the line yet.
In the meantime, that's okay, because we have some insane things to share with you.
First one, maybe somebody back in DC can help me out.
This is the man who sadly bears the title of president.
And he's talking about people being refused Treatment who are pregnant or who have miscarriages.
I don't know who's providing him with these talking points.
I don't know if he's smoking his son's crack pipe.
It's a shortcut.
Cut 11.
Play cut.
Today in America, there are women who have been turned away from emergency rooms while having miscarriages, losing wanted pregnancies, and told they need to wait until they're sicker before they get the care they need.
Do you have any idea what he's talking about, Jeff?
Eric, help me out.
I mean, at this point, they just make so many things up.
You know, there's stories about like, you know, remember for a while that story about the 10-year-old girl who was raped, we didn't even know if that was true for a while.
I wouldn't be surprised if they just made that up out of nowhere at this point.
Well, that story was true, but the important point that was missing was that she was raped, the 10-year-old was actually raped when she was 9 by, wait for it, an illegal alien.
Jeff, where is this coming from?
What is this talking point?
Does he make this stuff up?
He pretty much makes up stuff.
It's a stretch.
I think that he's probably trying to get at, and we don't even know if there's an example of this, sometimes they do give you the morning after abortion pill when you've started to have a miscarriage.
Yes.
Maybe that's what he's trying to get.
Has it happened?
Probably not, but it's just too good.
But what's that got to do with kicking women out of ERs who are having a miscarriage?
I still don't understand.
I'm pretty sure we would see that on Twitter, too, if they were doing that.
I think we'd probably see that.
I think the DNC would be running campaign ads.
Instead, we have this.
Now...
I'm thinking twice about playing this because I don't want to give the people behind it too much credit, but I found this this morning on Twitter, and it is sheer, utter insanity.
Now, first things first, again, I need your assistance, guys, because I'm traveling, you know, four cities in four days.
Maybe I missed something.
We're doing this for the election, three weeks to go.
Have I missed anything in the media, Jeff?
Where women are being arrested for having an abortion.
Have I missed something big?
Jeff, you gotta press your mic.
Yes, go ahead.
Has any woman been arrested for having an abortion since I've been on the road?
None that I've heard of.
Eric, I know you've got your finger on the pulse.
Maybe Jeff missed something.
I don't want to say that in public.
Has any woman in America been arrested for having an abortion?
I'm sure I would have been among the first to hear of it from my friends, but no, I've not heard of any such thing happening.
Alright, so I'm not going insane.
Okay, so let's play this ad.
This is what Eric Swalwell posted today on Twitter.
The man who is incapable of saying the following words.
I have not slept with a Chinese intelligence officer.
I don't know why he can't say that, but he can't say that.
Play.
Cut.
You're weird.
He is weird.
But cute.
Gross!
Mary Anderson?
Yes?
I have a warrant for your arrest.
Arrest for what?
Penal Code 243 violation.
Unlawful termination of a pregnancy.
You gotta be kidding me.
That is my personal business.
That's for the courts to decide, ma'am.
Your medical records have been subpoenaed, and Dr. Landry's already in custody.
No, my... My God, you can't just... You will have to submit to a physical examination.
What?
By who?
No, no, no one's touching me!
I can't, I can't, I can't, I can't!
Ma'am, turn around!
Put your hand behind your back.
Now!
Why is this happening?
Love you.
We're just enforcing the law here.
Elections have consequences.
Vote Democrat on November 8th.
Stop Republicans from criminalizing abortion everywhere.
Protect women's rights and freedom.
Please don't do this.
So it's not bad enough that they've said defund the police.
They've abused them.
Now they're portraying them as people who are arresting women for having an abortion.
That's fantasy.
That is psychosis.
What isn't psychosis and what isn't fantasy is a Catholic father of seven who's a pro-lifer
actually being arrested at gunpoint with the FBI deploying two dozen agents with loaded m4 carbines and full body armor and going to his house and arresting him on a misdemeanor assault charge that was dismissed by a district court three months prior and taking him away as his seven children were screaming where are you taking our daddy that's not a scare tactic midterm campaign advertisement that actually happened
Allegedly, Steve Bannon is going to be put in prison on Friday, according to the latest reports, because he made fun of Adam Schiff, because he was disrespectful to Nancy Pelosi's witch hunt show trial on the January 6th quote-unquote insurrection.
That's not a scare tactic midterm election ad.
It's actually happening.
The trial is happening right now.
These people are evil.
They are the scum of the earth.
And they will stoop lower than the gutter.
They will get into the sewer to try and maintain power.
And they will lie to all of you.
And that's why we have to push back.

Alright, keep going.
Cut six.
Playback.
Thanks, sir.
And will people who have privately held loans, will they at some point become eligible for this forgiveness because they no longer are?
We are working on pathways there to support those, but we're moving as quickly as possible to provide relief to as many people as possible.
All right.
You need to give me a heads up, Alex, OK?
Because I forgot the PhD there.
So when we're coming out of the break, just always remind me, OK?
All right.
Minute 45.
You want to hear any more cuts?
Did you hear me, Alex?
Yes, I hear you.
Okay.
I'm going to come in with cut five for this segment and then play me cut eight.
Eight.
Playback one, go ahead.
Eighteen is the age in which minors are protected from making permanent decisions about their reproductive health because the thought is then at eighteen they can decide what they would like to do.
However, if as soon as pubital blockers were added, and then estrogen was added to her therapy, Avery's testes never developed.
In fact, she does not make any sperm.
And her reproductive capability to be a biological parent has been eliminated.
Her testes are non-functional.
And in medicine, don't we often recommend the removal of non-functional organs, like an appendix?
That's their workaround for when you can't have surgery under 18, when they put those walls in.
What is she saying?
I don't understand.
No, it's their workaround now for when they put in the laws that they can't do surgery under 18.
Yeah.
That they're saying if they're not functioning that it's like another typical procedure.
But then why would she say we don't do things until they're 18?
We're talking about surgery, not the puberty blockers.
Oh my gosh.
Alright.
Are we gonna do JCN or PG?
I'm going to do Jason later.
Coming with a cut here, Altax.
I'm going to go live.
Where did the A2?
A2. A2.
A2. A2.
Thank you.
You are going to have to work with President Biden and Democrats in order to get anything done.
That's right.
So let me ask you, can you name one thing that President Biden has done that you support?
One thing that he's done that I support?
He eat a lot of ice cream.
That's Ashley Walker.
That was nicely done.
What is the one thing you can support that Sleepy Joe has done?
He's eaten a lot of ice cream.
Sure he has.
We've invited Herschel to our event tonight in Atlanta.
Can't wait to see the man.
Don't overdo it on the ice cream.
Because you might end up like me!
I had to lose some weight and I did it.
40 pounds with the amazing, amazing team at PHD Weight Loss working for Dr. Ashley Lucas.
If you could lose a bit of weight, do what I did.
There I am in a waistcoat that looks like it was made for somebody who's 400 pounds!
I feel so good.
First diet in 20 years that's worked for me.
My wife is ecstatic.
She looks like she looked when I met her 26 years ago.

He's on the line.
He served the nation already as a colonel in the U.S.
Army.
Now he's doing it again from Pennsylvania.
Doug Mastriano, welcome to America First.
Thank you, Sebastian, for having me back on.
All right.
So how is the campaign going?
Give us the latest.
We have recent polls that have us actually jumping ahead.
But, you know, polls are polls.
Wherever we go in the state, Sebastian, we're getting record crowds.
We were in Philadelphia in a Democrat area, and we had 500 people show up at one event, and then about 1,000 at another event.
We were in Pittsburgh, in Philadelphia, in another Democrat area, and had 500 come out.
We're in Erie, PA, another Democrat city, 600 came out.
And that's the same kind of movement we're seeing in the red areas.
So we're really hopeful.
We're working hard.
Our support is just irresistible.
So we are... I can't keep track of it.
It's like a whirlwind.
We are... No, no, no.
I know it's 21 days, but my team, the Salem team, the people I work for, Dennis Prager, my buddy Mike Gallagher, we were in Orlando, Tampa yesterday.
Today we're in Atlanta.
Tomorrow we're going to be in Philly for our Battleground Talkers Tour.
And guess what, Colonel?
Guess which city?
has overflowed.
We have 1,200 people coming to the Wednesday night event.
Guess which city that is, Doug?
That would be Philadelphia.
Yes!
Yes, Philly!
Not Ron DeSantis' Florida, not Tampa, not Orlando.
It's Philly.
So what does that mean?
Does it mean that the people of Pennsylvania have had enough?
Does it mean the Democrats are coming over?
Why is it Philly that is our biggest crowd?
Because Philly is on display as the greatest failure of Democrat policies in our great Commonwealth.
My opponent, of course, is the Attorney General.
Six years in a job.
And on his watch, crime has gone up 40%.
We got 1,000 carjackings this year in Philly alone, pushing 600 homicides already at 415 or so in Philly alone, a fourth highest in fentanyl deaths, open air drug market.
And so that's why the people of Philadelphia are waking up.
The Democrats, who've been in charge of the city for 72 years and have had a city council there for 58 years, are saying enough is enough.
All right, so what is your message to those who are undecided?
There's a shocking figure that about 30 percent, 32 percent of Americans decide which party to vote for in the last eight days before an election.
The swing vote is huge in America.
Most people aren't political like you and me.
So what is your message to those in Pennsylvania, across the nation, in Philly, who haven't yet decided?
What is the message about your campaign and about what we need to do nationally?
Thank you.
We're at a crossroads.
If you want to continue on a road of tyranny and overreach and oppression and lack of economic prosperity, that's what the Democrats have delivered us.
If you want to go on a track of liberty and freedom and a new birth for Pennsylvania, that's Mastriano.
My opponent has been in politics for a long time, our Attorney General for six years.
Are you better off, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania?
Are you safer?
Do you have similar opportunities?
Do you have the same freedoms or not?
And if not, if you want a rebirth of freedom, the Doug Mastriano is your voice and your vote.
How can people support you?
What's your website, Colonel?
Thank you, sir.
Go to DougForGov.com.
That's DougForGov.com.
And pitch in.
We need poll watchers, we need poll workers, we need volunteers, and we need donations.
All right.
Last question.
We've only got 30 seconds left, Colonel.
Pennsylvania did not do its constitutional duty in 2020.
The state legislature allowed the governor and the secretary of state to ride roughshod over the rules for the election.
Are you confident that Pennsylvania will get it right this time?
We're going to overcome it with the same model, or similar model used by Glenn Youngkin last year.
I need eyes on the ground.
I want transparency.
I need all the polls with workers inside.
I need trained people volunteering to work in the polls.
Glenn Youngkin had 95% of the polls covered in Virginia.
I want the same in Pennsylvania, and that way we can ensure transparency and a good election.
Gotta flood the zone, guys.
Gotta flood the zone.
That website wants more, Doug.
Dougforgov.com, and that's where you can sign up to be a poll watcher.
Doug for GOV.com.
God bless.
I'm Sebastian Gorka.

Um, yes.

Okay.
Thank you.
Making sense out of today's nonsense, here's Dr. Sebastian Gorka.
Do you remember Peter Stroke, the individual who was head of counterintelligence, who was responsible for the Hillary Clinton email investigations and then Russia collusion?
As he was texting with his, um, paramour, he was married and he was sleeping with another woman who was also married.
And talking about the stench of Trump voters in Walmart.
Well now, he's a commentator.
He's a talking head.
And this is what he had to say on MSNBC about January 6.
Cut 3.
9-11 is nothing compared to January 6th.
And the fact that the FBI and the rest of the government, if they are not on the same sort of war footing that we were on in the weeks and months and years after 9-11, shame on everyone.
This is a far greater threat to our constitutional democracy than anything we faced in the past 20 or more years.
Yeah, 9-11, where people were murdered, 3,000 of them in 102 minutes, and people jumped out of a building that's 110 stories tall.
That's not as bad as January 6th, where one person died, a 14-year Air Force veteran who was murdered, and her name is Ashley Babbitt, and she was murdered by a police officer called Michael Bird.
What's the truth about January 6th, and how are the political prisoners faring?
That is the topic for our next guest.
But first things first, one of our great sponsors on the Battleground Tour is the Job Creators Network.
We had Alfredo Ortiz on the platform with us yesterday in Orlando, and they represent the lifeblood of America.
Yeah, the small businesses, the business owners and the people who work for them who don't have lobbyists, who don't have advocates in the swamp.
Small businesses are the lifeblood.
They are looking for some great advocates for the small business owners across America.
Check out today, go to jobcreatorsnetwork.com and if you are in Erie, Pennsylvania or Stewart, Florida, Check out their amazing bus tour that is visiting communities across America to support small business owners.
Go to thegreatopportunityproject.com and click on events to learn more.
That's thegreatopportunityproject.com.
There are very, very few organizations out there that are supporting the literal political prisoners who were arrested and hounded and persecuted after January 6.
One of them is the Patriot Freedom Project, and we are delighted to have back on America First the founder of the project, Cynthia Hughes.
Cynthia, welcome back on Salem.
Thank you so much for having me.
It's good to see you, Dr. Gorka.
All right, so we've got three million listeners tuned in across the country from California to New York, across the heartland of America.
Will you give us just a potted summary of what's going on?
The Oath Keepers trial is underway.
What do they need to know that the mainstream lying media will not tell them?
Well, one of the big things about the Oath Keeper trial, we have a few wives that are in D.C.
right now for their husband's trial, a few steps away from the D.C.
jail.
And they cannot visit their husbands.
And when you go into the courtroom, I've been to the Oath Keeper trial a few times.
I'll be back in D.C.
in the next few days to accompany these wives.
They're not even allowed to engage with their husbands in the courtroom.
There's no wave.
There's no embrace.
There's no, you know, mouthing of, I love you or a hello.
Nothing.
Who's telling them they can't do that?
Who is telling them they're not allowed to say I love you to their husbands?
Well, probably the judge and, you know, the US Marshals.
So, I mean, it's very strict.
I mean, I've watched it with my own eyes.
You have four or five marshals in the courtroom.
You have multiple defendants on trial.
You have Thomas Caldwell, Kenneth Harrelson, Jessica Watkins, Stuart Rhodes.
And Kelly Meggs.
And none of them can engage at all with their, you know, with their loved ones.
Tom Caldwell's wife, or Commander Tom, as the prosecution is pushing, you know, he's the big leader of the Hooth Keepers.
His people refer to him as Commander Tom after he spent 25 years in the Navy and retired as a Lieutenant Commander, but that's another story.
His wife can't even be in the courtroom because she's going to be called as a witness From the prosecution and so therefore she's not allowed to even be present.
But hang on, hang on, hang on.
That doesn't make any sense at all.
Our system is very, very simple.
A wife or a husband cannot be forced to testify against their spouse.
What the hell is going on?
Excuse my French.
Well, she was, you know, with her husband at the Capitol.
And I want you to know that Thomas Caldwell did not go inside the Capitol building.
They didn't even step inside.
Um, so she'll be testifying in defense of her husband.
All right.
So it's not for the prosecution.
It's for the defense.
Let's be clear here.
Okay.
We got to be very, very accurate.
She's testifying for the defense.
Okay.
So if he didn't go into the Capitol, what on earth has he been charged with Debra?
Oh boy.
Well, Dr. Porca, I, you know, I don't have my, My handy-dandy spreadsheet in front of me, but... But he never went... Cynthia, he never went into the building?
No, he did not go into the building.
He or his wife did not enter that building.
But because there are some, what the prosecution deems, questionable text exchanges with other Oath Keepers, you know, he's now the leader of the Oath Keepers.
You know, you can come stay here in my home, you know, Dr. Gorka, let's just be honest, okay?
It's just a lot of big talk, you know, feeling like you're part of something, you know, talking big and feeling important and engaging.
There's not a single shred of evidence that that man did anything wrong that day and they're literally charging him with sedition.
It's sick what they're doing to these people.
I want to mention it as many times as I can.
I want everybody who's listening right now, if you can afford to do so, if you've got a little bit of excess income, we need to help these people that Cynthia is supporting.
It is the PatriotFreedomProject.com.
Patriotfreedomproject.com.
Whenever Julie Kelly comes on the show, we make sure we mention it.
I have to ask you a general question.
You don't have to talk about individual names.
Cynthia, how are the families, let's move beyond the prisons for a second, who are being literally persecuted, how are the families holding up?
You know, Dr. Gorka, we're going on year two of these wives and children being separated from their loved ones, okay?
So you're talking another Halloween, another Thanksgiving, another Christmas, birthdays, anniversaries.
Angel Harrelson, her husband's on trial right now at the Boothkeeper trial.
She's in D.C.
They just had their wedding anniversary.
She went to the jail.
She held up a sign, I love you.
He was able to view it outside the window of the jail.
I mean, that's what we're dealing with.
That's what we're looking at.
You know, having to live away from your home for two months out of your life.
Your husband, you've been separated from your husband for more than a year.
You're in the courtroom, you're feet away from him and you can't even embrace and you can't say hello to him.
She wrote him a love note, okay?
I love you, I miss you, it's so good to see you, blah, blah, blah.
She gives it to the lawyer, the lawyer lets him read it, and the marshal goes crazy.
Gives it to the judge.
The judge reads the note out loud in the courtroom.
You would have thought that, you know, she wrote some kind of crazy, threatening letter.
And so the judge got a hold of the note and he saw it was simply a love note.
I mean, we're tearing families apart.
It's an utter, utter outrage.
Right now, friends, write it down.
Go there.

Alright, we'll do my pillar here.
Is line 1 and 2 still up?
Yes, it's different, I sent you.
Yeah.
Oh, okay.
What was Bob saying?
Thank you.
That you didn't know what you were talking about with the vaccine.
They never make you immune.
Who said they make- When did I say they make you immune?
That's the point.
I can't even tell, is that supposed to be a left-wing or right-wing criticism?
I'm so confused on the policies of vaccines these days.
Title for Hughes?
The love letter was pretty powerful, I thought.
Yeah.
J6, they're tearing families apart.
Mm-hmm.
Tearing families apart.
Want to use any cuts here?
Uh, I need to go to the calls, I think.
Oh, okay.
And also a pillow.
Uh, yeah, 25 seconds.
All right, mics off.
All right, mics off.
All right, mics off.
Chris Wray had a very different response to the Black Lives Matter protests over the summer, where they were all over it.
The Deputy Attorney, the Deputy Director, excuse me, of the FBI said this is the most significant domestic terrorism event facing the Bureau.
That was the Black Lives Matter protests.
And yet, when January 6th happened, the FBI really was asleep at the switch Yeah, yeah.
FBI was much worse with the BLM protesters than they are with the January 6th persecutor.
That's Andrew Weissman, Mueller's right-hand man, the real man behind the Russia investigation, lying to your face.
Let's go.
Our two buddies are on the line.
Let's start with Brent in Los Angeles and then Pepe.
Brent first.
Hello, Great Gorka.
Greetings!
Yeah, I'm horrified by the ultra-Marxist misuse of judicial process and their deceptive predatory prosecution of Steve Bannon, like Alex Jones, and I fear soon Salem broadcasters and pastors.
The Spanish Inquisition and Star Chambers just keep screaming to us.
And Alex may be a bombastic P.T.
Barnum-style barker, but has historically been more accurate and truthful than... No, no, no!
Stop it!
Stop it!
Sorry.
Don't do that on my show.
Do not do that.
Do not do that, Brent.
I'm sorry.
I don't want to endanger our relationship.
A man who profited, literally, from the death of children, And then made fun of and ridiculed the parents who survived their children.
Nope.
Don't do it on my show, and don't compare him to Bannon.
Sorry, sorry, sorry.
Pepe, my buddy, let's go to Pepe.
Buenas tardes, Dr. Gorka.
Buenas tardes.
How are we doing?
Are you keeping America safe, my friend?
Let's just say I am doing righteous work.
We love it, we love it.
What brings you to our show today, Pepe?
Doctor, I've always considered you to be an adroit analyst.
I just want to have your, see if you can put on your analyst hat on for a second.
After the midterms and we win, like we think we are going to win, what do you think Democrat Party and its fringe allies are going to do in order to mess up the Republican terms?
Great question.
I like being called an adroit analyst.
That's nice.
Two options I see.
Two large baskets of scenarios.
Number one, the Democrat Party has a crisis and looks in the mirror and reorganizes itself.
I give the chance of that less than 5%.
The other is we will see more violence on America's streets than we've ever seen before in comparison to BLM and Antifa.
Those are the two options.
Only one of those is a good option.
Thank you, my friend.
I'm Sebastian Gawker.
This is America First.
Where did that hour go?
If you enjoyed the show, support those who make it possible.
Great American supporters of President Trump, like Mike Lindell, the inventor of MyPillow.
He, too, is being persecuted by the FBI.

See you back in a moment.
All right.
Mike's off to the video feed or on?
Or just go ahead and...
Actually, let's turn them off, get ready for the tease.
So yeah, kill the mics to video feed, Alex.
Thank you.
And will people who have privately held loans, will they at some point become eligible for this forgiveness because they no longer are?
We are working on pathways there to support those, but we're moving as quickly as possible to provide leave to as many people as possible.
Do you support...
Any restrictions on abortion?
I don't.
Even in the third trimester?
I believe that choice is between a woman, her doctor, and a god if she prays to one.
I believe that choice is between a woman, her daughter, and her daughter.
That's the combination.
And I must deal with that perception and the actual crime.
We can't get away from the fact we have 3.5 million people using our subway system.
We have to be honest about that.
And those average of six crimes a day is not giving the impression that our system is out of control.
I'm going to use the vice been cut again with Conrad.
The cut, let's cut 12, yes.
And we have the other stroke cut as well.
Sorry?
Cut 2.
We have another stroke cut as well if you want to use that as well.
And then cut 13 probably.
Play cut 2 again.
Cut 2.
On the call, I think it's an important point to make that the vast, overwhelming majority of FBI employees, agents, analysts, professional staff, have political opinions, and every single day they come in, they put those aside, and they honor their oath to the Constitution.
Jeff's getting him on the line now.
He's on, and the mics are on.
Two minutes.
Conrad.
Yes, sir.
How goes it?
Pretty well, thanks.
Good, good, good, good.
I have a few cuts to play for you from Nancy and this delightful individual called Peter Stroke.
And I'll get your take on the last 21 days.
And then the last, the latest revelations about Hunter Biden and how it fits into presidential history.
Which Nancy were you referring to?
Nancy Pelosi.
We can play it for you now.
How much time do we have, Eric?
A minute thirty, I can play the cut.
Okay, play cut 13.
This is on MSNBC, Conrad.
So, let's talk about what Elisa Slotkin said on Meet the Press.
I want to play that for you.
I have been very vocal, including with my own leadership in the House, that we need a new generation, we need new blood.
Period.
Across the Democratic Party.
In the House, the Senate, and the White House.
I think that the country has been saying that.
So what do you say to your own caucus?
To these young members, they're obviously in tough fights, but they want to see the change.
I say just win, baby.
Just win.
If that's what you have to say to win, fine.
That's amazing.
Who was the speaker who said, um, I lied about Romney's tax returns, but we won, didn't we?
Who was that?
Harry Reid.
And then who was that?
That was Elisa who?
Elisa Slotkin.
I think she's Michigan.
Let me double check that.
You're not coming in with anything?
No.
Yeah, she's Michigan.
Michigan 8 Michigan 8
Michigan 8 Michigan 8 Michigan 8 Michigan 8 Michigan 8 Michigan 8 Michigan 8 Michigan 8 Michigan 8 Michigan 8 Michigan 8 Michigan 8 Michigan 8 No hate speech.
Just Happy Warriors on America First.
Thank you.
Yes, indeed.
Happy Warriors in the tradition of the great Ronald Reagan.
Alex, what is that?
Is that the Avengers theme tune that you came in with for the second hour?
Yes, sir.
That is the Avengers theme.
Oh, that takes me back in time.
I think our guest will also be familiar with that theme tune.
It is that time where we go to Canada to talk to a man who is not only a presidential historian, He is a keen watcher of all things political in America, the co-host of the superb podcast Scholars in Sense with Victor Davis Hanson and Bill Bennett.
Lord Conrad Black, welcome back to America First.
Thanks very much, Sebastian.
And I do remember the Avengers.
I even met Diana Rigg.
Were you an Honor Blackman or a Diana Rigg man?
Yeah, yeah, I knew her many years subsequently, and she was a charming person.
Which one, Diana Rigg or Honor Blackman?
Diana Rigg.
Oh my gosh.
I always admired both of them from a distance, and I met Diana Rigg.
I would have loved to have met the late, great Diana Rigg.
All right, let's get back to serious business.
He's the author of the book, most recently, Donald J. Trump, A President Like No Other.
You can follow him on Twitter, ConradMBlack, ConradMBlack.com, and read his writings in the New York Sun and also the Epoch Times.
Lord Black, We are 21 days away from a midterm election.
It seems as if the Democrats are either living in cloud cuckoo land or they have given us a little peek behind the curtain as to their attitude to veracity.
This is MSNBC.
Nancy Pelosi being asked to comment on a young colleague of hers, the Democrat Elisa Slotkin, who is calling for new blood in the Democrat Party.
Nancy's reaction is rather telling, I think.
Play cut!
So let's talk about what Elisa Slotkin said on Meet the Press.
I want to play that for you.
I have been very vocal, including with my own leadership in the House, that we need a new generation, we need new blood.
Period.
Across the Democratic Party.
In the House, the Senate, and the White House.
I think that the country has been saying that.
So what do you say to your own caucus?
To these young members, they're obviously in tough fights, but they want to see the change.
I say just win, baby.
Just win.
If that's what you have to say to win, fine.
Sir Lord Blank, one of her caucus, young, female, congresswoman, says we need new faces in the White House, in the Senate, in the House.
And when she's asked, when the reigning speaker is asked, the response is, say whatever you have to say, just win.
Is that an unusual peek behind the curtain, Conrad?
I guess it is, but I mean, I have to give The speaker credit for being frank, you know.
I mean, I don't agree with her very often.
And politically, I absolutely can't bear the woman, but I mean, she's clearly formidable and deserves respect for that.
But I always admire somebody who calls it straight, you know.
I mean, it's such a relief to have a political leader who, when taxed with an embarrassing point, responds directly and honestly and doesn't put on his or her roller skates and avoid the whole thing.
We had a politician, a famous man in this country, who, when asked the truth of something, said, well, the truth is I lied, but you do it sometimes.
I mean, you know, it's not creditable, but it's sort of refreshing.
But doesn't it smack of the previous speaker, Harry Reid, who lied, who went on the floor of the House knowing that you cannot be prosecuted in America for lying on?
There's a certain immunity that is afforded those who are elected members of Congress.
And he lied about Mitt Romney not paying his taxes.
And after he left the speakership in an interview, he gave us another peek behind the curtain when he was asked about his comment about Romney's tax evasion.
Was it true?
And he said, no it wasn't, but we won.
As you recall, he was the Senate Majority Leader.
Sorry, Senate Majority Leader.
And you're right, yeah.
Yeah, but you know, it's politics.
Almost anything is fair in politics.
I think where the Democrats have crossed the lines, this business of using the Justice Department to try and defeat their enemies when they can't defeat them any other way, with spurious prosecutions and harassments and invasions of their homes and things.
But in terms of just tactics and what they say, you know, it is what it is, and nobody with any worldly experience expects nothing but the truth from a politician.
Even Abraham Lincoln wasn't above a ruse at times.
All right, let me ask you a question that one of our most thoughtful listeners asked me about 15 minutes ago.
He works in the national security arena.
We only know him by his name, Pepe.
He's on the southern border.
He's a Hispanic American, a great patriot, and he asked me for my expectation, my prognosis Should it be a rout in 21 days in not just the House but the Senate?
What the reaction will be from the left?
And I think there's probably two baskets, and tell me if you expect anything different.
One option, one scenario, is that if there is really a trouncing, the Democrats will be forced, if they have a connection with reality, to finally look in the mirror, take a measure of themselves, And maybe there will be some kind of crisis of identity or maybe even conscience and there'll have to be some kind of internal reform to say, you know, we went off the rails and we have to come back to some kind of normalcy.
The other option...
I dread it, is that there will be BLM and Tifa on steroids and there will be even more violence than we saw prior to the 2020 election.
What do you think will be the Democrat response if they really lose Lord Black?
I think much more likely the first than the second.
I think you'll find the severity of the defeat And I think that's a fairly likely scenario.
It looks to me like a wave is starting to move up to a bit of a crest here.
But, you know, in three weeks, things can change.
But that's how it looks right now.
And if that happens, I think you'll see the traditional sane.
I mean, that's not to say that we agree with them particularly, but sane Democrats who are genuine patriotic Americans and just want to run things a little differently than you and I might like.
But who within partisanship can end at the water's edge and do wish the country well.
I think that's seen majority of.
of that party, at least the majority of their supporters, and it's certainly a distinct number of the officeholders, will assert themselves, and precisely the elements you mentioned in the second option, the Antifa and BLM and so on, will be handed a bus ticket and disembark from the Democratic coalition, and they'll reorient towards a
Something that has a greater call on the attention and credence of the majority of the country.
I mean, that is traditionally what both parties do after they take a pasting at the polls.
They come to their senses and try and catch up with where the people are.
But you've written very cogent books on eras of presidential history, whether it's Trump, whether it's Nixon, whether it was FDR.
So I ask you, looking at the current crop, Where are the sane voices?
Have you seen, I mean with Tulsi Gabbard saying, this is a party out of control, it's an extremist party, I've left.
Do you see anybody who's prepared to buck the trend of the seeming radicalization of the DNC?
I think there are.
Now, in the case of Tulsi Gabbard, I mean, it's admirable what she said, but she was a Sanders supporter, you know?
Yes.
I mean, she isn't squeaky clean in ideological terms.
I think she's an admirable woman, and, you know, has served in the armed forces with distinction, and I salute her.
But she's got a funny background in ideological terms.
Look, let me just say, Senator Bennett of Colorado, he's in a tight race, he may not even win, although I think he's thought to be ahead at this point.
A man like that doesn't get a lot of publicity, doesn't get a fraction of the publicity that AOC gets, or some of these completely preposterous people in the administration.
But, I mean, I think he represents a responsible version of a Democrat.
So does, just to take a name, Sherrod Brown, the Senator Democratic senator in Ohio.
I mean, he gets zero publicity, but he's well known in Washington, and I think he's, again, I wouldn't agree with him at least half the time, but I think he's a sane, sensible person.
And I think there are a lot of people like that.
I think most of the Democratic governors, not all of them, but most of them, are sensible people.
And they've got some Lulus who aren't, you know, and some of them are up in three weeks.
And with luck and good fortune, they won't be back after that.
But there are still sensible people in that party.
I mean, even, say, Steny Hoyer, who stands next to the speaker.
But my issue is that none of these people have any national renommé.
The idea that they come from nowhere and then take control of the party is what I would question.
We're talking to Lord Conrad Black.
Stay with us for much, much more.

Never miss an episode.
We've got a very special third hour for you today.
And don't forget the store, Seb Gawker Store.
Yeah, I just, these are individuals who just have no cachet nationally.
This is true, but I think when you have a caucus of congressmen and senators behind closed doors, I think the voices of reason will get a lot of support.
I mean, frankly, the people who launched, and it's not a comparable situation exactly, except there's a slight trend here, the people who launched Thermidor in 1794 and got rid of Robespierre Fouché, the subsequent police minister, I mean, they weren't well known either, but they had the votes in the convention and they sent the Committee of Public Safety to the guillotine.
And I think after the voters send the Democratic Party to the guillotine in three weeks, I think the survivors in the congressional caucuses are going to hand out a lot of bus tickets.
All right.
For Media Matters, who monitors the show, my good friend, Lord Black, meant the metaphorical guillotine in American politics.
So don't get your knickers in a twist.
Of course.
I don't believe it.
We just have to have these little footnotes because they sometimes get rather agitated, Conrad.
Look, there are such people, but to me, very few would think that when I said the voters would send the Democrats to the guillotine, that I really meant that they'd go storming up Capitol Hill as on January 6th, but drag these people out in their tinfoil hats and put them on the guillotine.
The idea is amusing, but it's not going to happen, and I certainly wouldn't recommend it.
Play cut 12 and cut 2 for Conrad.
Chris Ray had a very different response to the Black Lives Matter protests over the summer, where they were all over it.
The Deputy Attorney, the Deputy Director, excuse me, of the FBI said this is the most significant domestic terrorism event facing the Bureau.
That was the Black Lives Matter protests.
And yet, when January 6th happened, the FBI really was asleep at the switch Well, Nicole, I think it's an important point to make that the vast, overwhelming majority of FBI employees, agents, analysts, professional staff, have political opinions, and every single day they come in, they put those aside, and they honor their oath to the Constitution.
Yeah.
I'm going to tee those up first.
I'm going to do a border battle.
Border battle.
Yep.
When are we getting VDH back on the show, Jeff?
It's Thursday.
Oh, good.
Very nice.
It's been a while.
What do you think of Truss's chances, Conrad? - No.
Not brilliant.
I mean, I'm really shocked at what a shambles it is.
I thought the budget was good.
I thought she and Cortain should have realized that to do something as daring as that, they'd have to prepare a very cogent, comprehensive argument.
Right, they'd have to sell it.
Yeah, they just went cold turkey with it and they got torn to pieces.
You're schooled in British history.
I think, perhaps after a decent interval, they'll probably change leaders again and try to use the old expressions in British history.
a broad, softened government of all the talents.

And he answered, the southern border.
And I tend to agree.
We don't pay enough attention to it with other things happening in Washington, D.C., but you need to know the truth.
My good friend, my colleague at Salem, the founder of Turning Point USA, has a new six-part documentary called Border Battle.
on the things you need to know.
The militarization of the cartels, the cost of human trafficking, and how even if you don't live on the border, this is a threat to the safety and the prosperity of your family as well.

You can follow him at Conrad M. Black on Twitter.
Lord Black, a couple of cuts I have to play for you because of the impending sentencing of Steve Bannon and also the subpoena that was issued to President Trump.
First things first, we have Peter Stroke talking about FBI agents and how honorable and how unbiased they are.
Cut two.
Well, Nicole, I think it's an important point to make that the vast, overwhelming majority of FBI employees, agents, analysts, professional staff, have political opinions, and every single day they come in, they put those aside, and they honor their oath to the Constitution.
Thank you.
Except when they're people like you, Peter Strokes, sending text messages to your paramour about the stench of Trump voters in Walmart.
Or Andrew Weissman, the man behind the Mueller probe, who, talking about January the 6th, had a very odd comparison to make.
Cut 12.
Chris Wray had a very different response to the Black Lives Matter protests over the summer, where they were all over it.
The deputy attorney, the deputy director, excuse me, of the FBI said this is the most significant domestic terrorism event facing the Bureau.
That was the Black Lives Matter protests.
And yet, when January 6th happened, the FBI really was asleep at the switch So the FBI is fine and unbiased, and BLM was treated much, much worse than the January 6th protesters.
I put those up there for added context and color.
A leading conservative commentator has said on Friday the sentencing of Steve Bannon will likely lead to an incarceration or house arrest.
And, of course, we have the subpoena from January 6th for President Trump.
Your reaction just 21 days before the midterms?
I have no standing to, uh...
Guess what the sentence for Steve Bannon may be, because I don't know anything about the judge in whose hands it lies, but it would be utter nonsense to send him to a carceral sentence.
It's just absurd.
But that in itself, of course, is no assurance at all that it won't happen.
On what Peter Strzok said about the FBI, I don't agree with that.
I can't say with respect, because I don't have much respect for him.
I've had some dealings with the FBI, and in my modest experience with them, they've been completely dishonest and completely incompetent.
And I don't doubt that there are a great many people in the Bureau who are, as he described, but there are a very great many who are absolute rot.
They are atrophied, and they don't belong there, and they don't belong in the public payroll.
When you say...
When you say corrupt, is it in the general sense of moral turpitude, or is it political bias?
I'm not suggesting they're taking bribes.
No, no.
Is it political corruption that you've witnessed, or just, you know, moral corruption?
Ethical corruption.
They're just abusing their position, which is easy for an FBI officer to do.
And it takes a certain amount of character and restraint to avoid doing it.
And a great many of them don't have that restraint or that character, in my opinion.
And from what I've seen, I mean, the ones I have actually had any dealings with filed false affidavits in an attempt to intimidate witnesses.
And that's not what they're there for, and that's not what they should be doing.
When a man of substance who has moral probity is in the White House again, What do you think the fate of that agency should be?
There are two options.
Some have said dismantle and rebuild.
We've had FBI agents, Secret Service agents on the show who said take its three main missions, counter-terrorism, counter-intelligence and regular organized crime and simply farm them off to other agencies.
It will have to be a priority for the next Republican president to do something, will it not?
I think so.
I think it should be, or even the next Democratic one.
I mean, I think there is an interest by the entire political community to have the FBI restored to a status as being trustworthy, efficient, and as Strzok mistakenly described it.
Where people, of course everyone who works there is entitled to their political opinions and to vote however they want, but they do have a code of conduct and they've got to adhere to it.
And I think it would be sufficient To go carefully through the organization and weed out those who demonstrably have varied from that.
And it would be quite a fair number of them, I suspect.
But we do need a federal police force, and there is considerable history.
of the FBI that is quite distinguished.
And it can be reoriented back to that.
I mean, for all the obliquely heaped upon poor old J. Edgar Hoover, who ran it in its previous organization for, I think, 48 years, from President Harding to President Nixon, I mean, he never tried to tamper in an election or rig an election.
He never got into that kind of thing.
Is there any, in Canada, internationally, in the UK, do you think there is a sense outside of America, if you look at the media, of an awareness of how problematic an institution the FBI has become?
Or is this not a story?
I don't know.
It is a story.
Look, I think it is widely felt by informed people in all advanced Western countries, and they all obviously Watch American affairs closely that there are some serious problems in the American political system right now.
The whole idea of the Department of Justice being used for political reasons is extremely distressing to anyone who cares about democracy anywhere.
That the federal police force, and one that has in general been highly regarded professionally, should be the subject of this kind of discussion, is disturbing to anyone who wishes America well.
And see American politics in this condition where utterly absurd things are being done, I mean, leaving one border completely open as millions of people flood in and the Secretary of the Cabinet directly responsible just repeats like an automaton on autocue.
That border is secure.
Yeah, yeah.
It disturbs anyone who wishes America well, which is essentially everybody in the Western world, because if the United States falters, we're all in real problems.
We've been talking to Lord Conrad Black.
Follow him right now at ConradMBlack.com, on Twitter at Conrad M. Black, and also listen to his podcast, Scholars in Sense, with Victor Davis Hanson and Bill Bennett.
I'm Sebastian Gawker.
Thank you, Lord Black.
We'll be back after these messages.
Did you hear that, Lord Black? Lord Black? - Yeah.
I did.
I did.
Oh my gosh.
Are you in Atlanta today?
Yes.
What's the read down there on the debate between Walker and Warnock?
I mean, is Herschel gaining again?
Everybody that we've spoken to already says that he can win.
Yeah, well, I think that's the key.
He and Oz, if they win, it's a home run in the Senate.
Yes, it is.
Yep.
I think we have at least a two-seat majority.
OK, well, right now it looks like the tide is running in that direction.
It does indeed.
That was fabulous.
Thank you, Conrad.
OK, thanks.
Bye.
Bye-bye.
Something else that occurred to me too, kind of going with what Geoff said about how like Mastriano may help Oz with like the crossover support.
Kemp's expected to win by like five or six points.
I don't see any election cycle where Kemp wins by that big and that doesn't cross over to vote for Walker as well.
Mm-hmm, mm-hmm.
Taito for that one.
What he said at the end about the FBI, he had some strong language.
The FBI, I've seen, no, Lord Conrad Black, I, colon, I've seen FBI corruption.
What's Danchenko's first name?
Igor?
Igor.
The one count thrown out and then the other four was all not guilty.
Of course, you know, they run away with this to say, oh, look, there's proof.
There clearly was no crime here.
He was found not guilty.
That's totally not because they own this justice system.
I told you Virginia's a jerk.
North Virginia, at least.
Yeah, like, where was it?
Arlington?
Alexandria?
Yep.
Yep.
All right, you have a MyPillow on the embed. - Okay.
Okay.
Pillow.
What charge was thrown out?
The one where they said he lied to the FBI, he said something false to the FBI, and the judge said, no he didn't, he didn't say, he only wrote it in an email.
Let's look up who appointed that judge, by the way.
I think it was a Trump appointee.
Wait, really?
Yeah, I think I heard that, too.
Are you going to announce that on the show?
Should I come up with breaking news?
Breaking news, here's Sebastian Gorka.
But it's not a funny breaking news, right?
How does it sound?
It's just water, I think.
Just going.
With breaking news, here's Sebastian Gorka.
55 seconds.
Okay.
Okay.
Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow.
Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow.
The End
With breaking news, here's Sebastian Gorka.
Igor Danchenko, the Russian intelligence asset, who was the source of the discredited smear campaign that was the Steele dossier against President Trump, has been found not guilty on all four charges of lying to the FBI in a Northern Virginia court.

Incredible, incredible, incredible.
Line one, David, Arizona.
Hey, Sebastian, how are you?
I'm kind of in a pissy mood right now.
I am not happy, David.
Okay, I understand, totally understand.
And that's bad, that's bad, because I'm here to keep Patriots fighting, but talk to me, talk to me.
Okay, so tomorrow night here in Scottsdale, Arizona, Kerry Lake is holding an event.
Her friend Glenn Youngkin is supporting her, he's going to be here too.
I saw that, I saw that.
Glenn's coming all the way from Virginia, yes.
Yeah, but I just wanted to tell you, and I don't want to rub it in or anything, Sebastian, it's being held in an ammunition factory called Dylan Precision.
Alright, you are... I was in a bad mood already, and now you're just making it worse, David.
You've heard of Dillon Precision, right?
I know, and I've heard of the Dillon Precision electric machine guns as well that fire at 11,000 rounds per minute.
And if they're going to have a demonstration there, and you didn't invite me, David, I'm going to have words with Carrie Lake that David is a bad boy.
OK, it's being held in a hangar with these helicopters and the tanks and the belt-fed machine guns and the 50 cows.
What do you think of that?
I think that I'm glad I have, no I'm not glad, I am satisfied that I have a very good excuse that I will be with 1,200 patriots in Philadelphia, of all places, on the stage with Dennis Prager, with Mike Gallagher.
But do me a favor, Dave, will you stay on the line, give us your cell phone, I'll send you a text message, and I want lots of cool pictures and video from the event.
Will you do that for me?
Will do.
Alright, I love it, I love it.
Oh, that's Dylan Precision!
I've gotta go.
They have this thing with the modern Gatling gun.
It's electric power.
It's the thing out of Predator.
It's so cool.
Oh, I'm so jelly now.
Alright, let's go to Todd in Atlanta.
At least he cheered me up a bit.
Line two!
Yes.
Thank you for coming to Atlanta, Dr. Gorka.
You were speaking earlier about the gain-of-function research up in Boston, which is really just genetic engineering.
They can't say it plainly.
No, it is.
Of course it is.
Of course.
They're genetically modifying and tinkering with the virus.
I know.
They're like con men trying to trick us.
I just want to point out, NTD News, China In Focus, had a story with a gentleman named Lawrence Sellin, S-E-L-L-I-N, and he pointed out that it was an agreement between Jimmy Carter and Deng Xiaoping in 1979 that created a pipeline for Chinese communist germ warfare researchers to come into the United States.
Hang on, you cut out there for a second.
Say that again, Todd?
Thanks to Jimmy Carter, there's been a pipeline of Chinese communist researchers that have come to the United States.
They've been operating in Fort Detrick since 79, and right now there's a level four virology lab at Georgia State University in downtown Atlanta, and it's being run by the wife
We have people in the national defense labs, the ones that actually develop the most critical defense capabilities for our nation, with not only Chinese but Iranian nationals working in those labs.
Absolutely right.
Stay on the line, Todd, I need more details.
Give that name of that reporter or that guest that NTD had on to Jeff, because I need to see that story.
Right.
I'm going to try and calm down now.
I'm Sebastian Gawker.

You're listening to America First with Sebastian Gorka, former strategist to President Donald J. Trump.
It's not bad enough that Prager is in a cigar bar right now while I'm working.
I've got Gallagher and his right-hand man sitting outside my window eating cookies.
Cookies!
I'm working for a living!
Why am I not eating cookies and smoking cigars?
We are on the Battleground Talkers Tour with my good buddies Dennis and Mike across the nation and different city every night.

Inflation, baby formula, gas prices, you know it.
Have you got a plan B?
Well, guess what?
I've got a plan B. I've got two months worth of food.
That will stay fresh for 25 years.
It's delicious.

We designed two new items today on our call with Randy, our merch master.
Also, the challenge coins.
You gotta prove that you're America first.
Check out the America first challenge coins with President Trump, with my motto, America first and stay frosty.
That's S-E-B-G-O-R-K-A store.com.
All right, a new guest to the show.
He's got a new book.
It's called Gone Viral, How COVID Drove the World Insane.
He's Justin Hart.
Justin, welcome to America First.
Seb, so great to be with you today.
Thanks for having me on.
So why do we need this book?
Because don't we know that the world went insane?
Yeah, this is basically your guide for yourself to recall all the craziness that happened.
It's a weapon.
It's defense against all of the tactics that they use for us.
Because you can bet, Seb, they're going to pull this same playbook out when it comes to other pandemics or their biggest boogeyman, the climate change activism.
So they're going to use those same stay-at-home tactics.
And this one basically gives you all of the myths.
You mean when the Boston virus that they've developed that has an 80% death rate, you mean when that one is spread across the country?
Oh yeah, I expect with the coming weeks we're going to hear about some Boston Wharf fish market that suddenly has spawned a new disease that's 900 feet from Boston University, just like they were in Wuhan!
It's going to be the lobster roll!
It's going to be the lobster roll, right, from Fenway Park!
You know it!
You know it!
Alright, first question.
I've got a list of questions.
Everybody needs to get the book right now.
It has already been released.
It's gone viral.
Eric likes the cover because... I don't know why Eric likes the cover.
It's his kind of artwork, I guess.
It's got the COVID virus looking rather scary.
First question.
I think it's a rather important one, Justin.
Was COVID-19 really as deadly as they say it was?
No, nowhere near.
In fact, just yesterday, the great John Ioannidis from Stanford, the most cited living scientist, updated his infamous infection fatality rates.
The bottom line is your risk if you're under the age of 65 is about the risk that you face on your commute to work.
That's your death risk.
If you're over the age of 65, it's slightly higher.
It's like you're a professional truck driver.
That's the best way to explain it.
So dying from this thing that we were told is the Black Plague Redux is about as dangerous as going to work?
That's exactly right.
For the vast majority of people, influenza was far deadlier.
And this is a really difficult thing for people to stomach because people sacrifice so much, Seb, to say, hey, you know, I kept my kids at home, I did my thing, I masked up.
And to come to find out that it all meant nothing is really hard for people to stomach.
But it's something we're going to have to get over because, again, the government is super pleased.
I want everybody to read the book, but explain to us How?
How could they have got it so wrong?
Was it methodology?
Was it politics?
Was it amateurism?
Because we've got stories from the guy who wrote a blurb for your book, like Scott Atlas, who said he'd come to meetings in the White House under President Trump, you know, ready with stuff he'd just read, the latest stats on what COVID is doing around the world.
And inward walk Fauci, who basically didn't prepare for any of the meetings.
So was it just incompetence?
Well, what was it, Justin?
I tried to get that understanding, too.
When I asked Scott that, we were his main data group providing all of his charts behind the scenes.
And I said, hey, maybe they're just having a really tough time saving phase.
And he said, no, Justin, these people are dumb.
And so... See, this is what I thought, that these people are stupid and incompetent.
Yeah, I think, you know, we had all those great theories about some type of device in the vaccine that was broadcasting 5G.
Our government is nowhere near that competent.
If you've ever worked in government for more than a week, you know that the idea that They are embedding secret transmitters in your body that you can never detect and it is technology that has come from other planets.
These are guys who can't make coffee, okay, with a percolator.
They don't know.
They have to ask somebody to make the coffee for them because they don't know how to switch on a Keurig.
Okay, biggest question.
Let's be serious.
I've got a minute left.
This is the only thing I care about.
Is the damage they've done to our children?
Especially in the education system?
Is it permanent?
Because I'm afraid 20 years from now, we're going to have a generation of young adults who are just psychologically damaged because of the masks and the shutdown schools.
What's your analysis?
It's going to take a lot of work to get them back up to par.
I have young kids.
Preschool teacher came up to me and said, I am so sorry.
We could not learn the alphabet this year.
Try teaching your kid how to pronounce the letter H through a mask.
Right?
Now my kid's in speech therapy.
That's the story across the nation.
It's devastating.
I hope if there's a change in the guards that we hold the feet of these folks to the fire.
We have hearings next year.
We have articles of inquiry ready to go.
All the questions need to ask.
Our kids deserve that much.
People have to pay.
I'm not interested in subpoenas and IG reports.
I couldn't give a damn.
I want people charged.
I want people charged with malfeasance, with dereliction of duty, with abuse of children.
I want people in the dock in front of a jury and a real judge.
The book, we need to get him back for an Stay on the line, Jeff.
We need to book this guy.
Gone viral.
How COVID drove the world insane.
I'm Sebastian Gorka.
Your calls next here on America First.
833-33 Gorka.
That's 833-334-6752.
Coming to you live from Atlanta on the Battleground Talkers Tour from WGKA as Dennis is having cigars and my buddy Mike Gallagher is eating cookies.

First, let's go straight to your course.
Oh no!
We gotta get, um... Let's do that.
Let's squeeze in the calls.
Let's go to Frank in Pittsburgh, Line 4.
Welcome, Frank.
Hey, what's up, Mr. Sebastian?
Hey, I was telling you guys that the courts in D.C.
should be considered like the Jim Crow courts of the Old South.
Oh, that's good.
You're basically guilty upon arriving in the building.
That's good.
And if you're the right person, good.
No, no, you're right.
We should treat them like the Jim Crow Democrats' courts of the South.
You're absolutely right, Frank.
Yeah, because they're completely rigged.
Anybody who's a conservative who's brought up on charges for any reason alone should be given a trial elsewhere, like Texas or Florida.
I totally agree.
Genius, Frank.
Stay on the line.
Let's give Frank a signed copy of Defeating Jihad.
That's why we have the best callers in the nation.
These are Jim Crow courts.
They're biased.
They're political.
Let's go to Randy Knoxville, line three.
Hey, Dr. Gorka, I was wondering what you, with your military background, strategy and everything, this talk about Putin possibly lighting off a nuke in Ukraine, I'm wondering, you know, I've read Red Storm, Rod, and some other books, we've all seen movies, what's the next, if he does that and you were the king of America, what would you do?
Well, I wouldn't be the king of America because we're a republic, so I'd start there.
If he did that, so number one, we don't retaliate with nuclear weapons on Russia because Ukraine is not NATO territory.
There's no Article 5 requirement for us to respond in kind.
However, I would do the following.
I would move significant amount of U.S.
assets to NATO territory that we have promised to defend, so Poland especially, the Baltic States, Hungary.
I would array Probably up to 100,000 troops along the NATO front line, and I'd probably move tactical nuclear weapons to NATO territory just to send a message.
We don't retaliate because we haven't been attacked, but we have to send a very, very strong message that if you endanger us, we are going to light up Moscow.
Now, that won't happen because the reality is that Joe Biden is afraid.
of Vladimir Putin, and nobody is afraid of Joe Biden.
Sorry, correction, little girls, pretty little girls are afraid of Joe Biden, especially girls under the age of 18.
We've seen the video from just this week, but no world leader is afraid of him.
So this won't happen.
It'll get worse until we have a real leader, a real patriot back in the White House.
And I recommend that person be Donald J. Trump, my former boss.
Okay, very special, very special.
We are going to revisit our amazing interview.
It is the manhood hour with none other than the former SEAL, the author of the Terminal List, Jack Carr, the one, the only phenomena here on America First, wherever you are, whatever you're doing.
Stay on this channel.
I'll see you next
time. I'll see
you next time.
I'll see you next
time. I'll see
you next time.
I'll see you next time.
I'll see you next

you next time.
I'll see you next
time. I'll see
you next time.
I'll see you next time.
Do not adjust your sets, as the saying goes.
You are still listening to America First.
But we are launching, oh my gosh, have we been waiting for this for a long time, our brand new element.
It is the Manhood Hour, dropping every Friday.
And we are delighted.
What better guest?
If we can't get Dirty Harry on the show, we're going to make the man who has created a media phenomena.
With his books and now the TV show.
You know the show.
It's called The Terminal List.
And he's former SEAL Jack Carr.
Jack, welcome as our first guest to the Manhood Hour.
Wow, I am honored.
I mean, that intro is pretty powerful.
I mean, you got the Duke up there, you got Clint Eastwood up there.
That's pretty solid, right?
I like it.
I like it.
Alright, we appreciate it.
I'm so glad.
You've come out of hiding.
You were in some OP somewhere, working on some script or some book, and I bugged you, and I bugged you, and I said, Guy, you gotta be the first guest!
And he graced us with our presence.
We're so excited.
We've got some questions, some standard questions we're going to ask all of our guests.
But first, I've got to do a little bit of mea culpa.
You came on my show for a couple of segments right at the beginning, so exciting, when Terminal List was becoming this stratospheric success.
Of course, it is totally toxic.
The masculinity just oozes out of every pore.
We love it.
We also love Chris Pratt's portrayal.
But after you came on my show you had the audacity to go on my favorite podcast Andrew Claven's show and I don't know I guess because he's a storyteller who's written scripts for people like Clint Eastwood he got to a part of you that I hadn't
hadn't delved into let's start let's talk about you before we get to what is manhood and what's your take on it and it it's about a photograph i saw of you online sitting i guess in your home with this massive bookcase full of books behind you and i thought you know i've worked with the green berets for over a decade i've briefed the guys at damn neck little creek coronado i know seals pretty well as well as the green berets
They never struck me as, you know, hugely bibliophiles, but you have an interesting story about who your mum was and why you are such an avid reader that fills in to your capacity to tell stories about warriors.
So, for those who missed Andrew Clavin's show, tell us about your passion for the written word, Jack.
Well, yeah, it really stems from my earliest days.
My mom was, and still is to this day, a librarian.
So we grew up with books and a love of reading, and I still have most of those books that I grew up with.
Some of them are in the shelves that are behind me in that photo you referenced, but there are a lot more books than that in boxes all over the place, and I'm about to get them all organized and moved into an actual library.
But we grew up with reading and it was natural, just as natural as sitting down to dinner or going for a hike or whatever else.
It was just a natural.
It wasn't forced upon us.
It was a natural part of our upbringing.
And I found out what I wanted to do very early on in life.
This I had this call to serve.
And a lot of that was just innate.
But some of it came, I'm sure, from pictures of my grandfather who was killed in World War Two, I have pictures of him with his Corsair fighter plane.
So that's the one that had the gold wings that would fold up like that.
There was a show in the late 70s, early 80s called Black Sheep Squadron with Robert Conrad portraying Pappy Boynton.
And it was kind of my connection and my dad's connection to that generation.
So I knew I was headed into the military, but at the ripe old age of seven, I found out what SEALs were.
And my mom, of course, took me to the library.
We researched seals, found out about their history.
And in the early 80s, there wasn't much written.
You could read it in about an hour.
And today, obviously, you can spend the rest of your life reading about special operations, but not back then.
And so I was set on the path.
But then by about fifth grade, that's when Hunt for Red October came out.
And then for sure, by sixth grade, when I'm 11, I'm reading the same books as my parents.
I'm drawn to those because a lot of the protagonists, if you remember, the main characters in books in the 80s and 90s, they had a background, well a background that I wanted in real life one day, but typically it was the Vietnam veteran, he was a Navy SEAL, he was an Army Special Forces guy, CIA paramilitary, Marine sniper.
So I'm reading books by Tom Clancy, Nelson DeMille, A.J.
Quinnell, J.C.
Pollack, Mark Olden, all these authors who had that background for their protagonists.
And so I'm reading these in my very formative years, and I knew that one day after my time in the military, I would write thrillers just like that.
It's stunning.
That story is really an encapsulation of the American way.
You found something you had a passion for, you identified your own mission at a very young age, and you went after it, you became a SEAL, and now you are a world-famous author.
So it's an incredible story.
I'm going to dive straight in.
I think the reaction to your TV show gives us a clue, but the first question I have for you in the Manhood Hours inaugural episode is, Jack Carr, is masculinity in trouble?
Maybe in certain circles, but it's only in trouble if it is because we're so comfortable and we're in such a place of affluence and maybe a little bit of naivete as well, where it can be.
For most of human history, it couldn't be because you had to defend this gift of life that you've been given.
You had to defend that same gift that's been given to your spouse, your children, your community, your tribe, your country.
And then you had to put also food on the table.
And a lot of those same tools that were used to put food on the table were also the ones used to defend that gift of life, to defend your tribe, your country, your family.
So only now for the slimmest slice of human history have we been able to think we can dial 911 and someone will come to our aid or go down to the grocery store, pick something off the shelf and serve it to our family that evening with no thought to where it came from, how much work went in to making that chicken appear on your dinner table.
So for most of human history, you've had to be good at those things, the fighting and the procurement of food.
But today, maybe you don't have to be until you do.
Until you do.
On that note, we have an amazing clip we'll play for you in a moment.
One of the best lines from the TV show.
I asked for something really, really powerful from my producer, Jeff, and he came through with it.
You say comfort, perhaps, is one of the issues.
Of all the issues out there, whether it's ideology, whether it's wokeism, whether it's the influence of a liberal Hollywood The breakdown of the classic family unit marriage, or the decline of faith in America.
Of all these, do you see one that's more important than the others in terms of the damage it has wrought to the role model of the men that we showed at the opening of this show?
Is it faith?
Is it comfort?
Where do you think the locus, to put it in military terms, where's the center of gravity for our enemy in this war on men?
There's a few things there, but that family unit obviously is the most powerful, most essential element of building any society.
But the education system is really the one that jumps to the forefront of my mind.
Of course, we have a lot of issues, and there's also people who benefit from us having these issues and having this division.
Tech companies and the political elite on this side.
So we have this L ambush that most of society is walking right into because we have to live, we have to have businesses, we use these tech companies for the business side of the house, and obviously we elect representatives to government.
But we're walking right into this L ambush here.
And those two elements, they benefit from that division.
Politicians to galvanize bases, obviously, tech companies first for profit, and secondly now to impact behaviors and Thoughts.
So we do have that, but really the education system is one that jumps to the forefront because there are so many issues with it.
And then COVID, of course, has thrown gasoline on this fire.
And when it comes back to reading, we talked about reading, how important that was to me.
And when you look at some of these statistics, I was just looking at them this morning when it comes to reading and where our country is.
Let's say this.
For my fourth novel, The Devil's Hand, I put myself in the enemy's shoes.
And it started before COVID in 2019, and I thought, what has the enemy learned by watching us on the field of battle for these last 20 years?
And that's how it started.
Then COVID hit.
And I thought, well, the enemy is certainly taking notes on our response to COVID.
Then a summer of civil unrest unfolds.
Well, the enemy's just not looking at this and going about their business.
They're drawing lessons and figuring out how they can incorporate those into future battle plans.
Then a very contentious political season is upon us and a contentious election cycle.
So the enemy is learning from all those things.
And my takeaway was it was pretty depressing.
And it was, well, if I was the enemy right now, and by enemy, I mean Russia, China, North Korea, Iran, super empowered individuals, terrorist organizations.
If I was one of those entities, I might not do much right now because we're doing a job of destroying ourselves from the inside.
And of course, that doesn't make for a very dynamic novel.
So I had to get creative on how to move the action forward.
But that was my takeaway.
We're doing a pretty good job of destroying ourselves from the inside.
And who benefits really those politicians and those tech companies?
And the rest of us are stuck here in this ambush trying to figure it out.
It's like Lincoln warned us a house divided cannot stand.

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

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

If Gawker can do it, that's my brand new suit.
If I can do it, where's the photograph of me with my Mustang, Eric?
Let's put that one up there.
That's what it feels like to be 40 pounds lighter.
Go to myphdweightloss.com.
Jack, where does fitness or just self-discipline, the old, you know, Seal Standard or the Jordan Peterson, tidy up your room and make your bed before you bitch and moan about somebody else?
So, what are the minimum requirements for being taken seriously as a man?
Well, that is a very good question.
And today, obviously, it comes down to what we talked about earlier.
But, and that's only because you can get away with it without being in shape these days.
But once again, we saw at the beginning of COVID just how fragile society is.
And that's why travel is so important, I think, because you get to go around the world and you get to really experience how fragile society is, can be, and And really appreciate what we have in this country.
One, on the stability side of the house, although we did get a little wake-up call during COVID on that.
But also as far as options and opportunities that we have here that are available nowhere else in the world.
And that's why people want to come here.
And then you get to think back about history and you get to think about all the sacrifices that were made So that we can have these options and opportunities here.
All the people who sacrificed their lives so that we could be here today making our own decisions.
Not being told what to do, not being born into a caste system, but really forming our own opinions on things and making our own decisions.
Living with the effects of those decisions, learning from them if we have failures along the way, but really getting to build what we want to build.
In this country.
So travel being is so important, but how fragile society is.
Sometimes it takes an event and we had it for a split second at the beginning of COVID.
And I think people worried, wait a sec, if I do call 911, maybe someone's not going to be here to come save the day.
Not that they would be there anyway, because they're going to arrive late and write reports on things.
But maybe I should learn.
I've been meaning to learn how to use a firearm as a husband.
Maybe that's something that I should do.
OK.
And then things started to get a little bit more lax.
Food started to come back into the grocery stores.
and people got back in their normal routines.
But for a split second there, people started to think about self-reliance and what we're going to do if there wasn't food in the grocery store or if there was no one on the other end of that call, if they called 911, like, hey, do I have fire extinguishers in the house?
Do my kids know how to use them?
Does the babysitter know how to use them?
Maybe we should build a fire outside with the kids and go show them how to, show my 11-year-old how to use a fire extinguisher in case I'm not home.
That sort of a thing.
So these little, do we have, how much food do we have in the house?
How much water do we have?
And not crazy prepper type stuff.
This is just normal things that you would have had to do for most of human history.
Be prepared.
Do I know how to use a tourniquet?
What do we have in the house as far as medicines go and first aid kits go and trauma kits go?
Do I know how to use any of this sort of thing?
So those questions people asked at the beginning of COVID, but I think that's kind of got, we got back into the comfort zone again.
But someday there will be something that happens, an event, natural or otherwise, Uh, that, uh, will necessitate us being a little more self-reliant and it's our responsibility as citizens of this country.
And, and so we're talking about manhood on this podcast as men to be as prepared as possible.
And that all depends on your comfort level, where you live in a city, in the country, that sort of a thing.
Uh, what family members you have allowed, what your community is like.
So it's going to be a little bit different for everybody, but the baseline is being prepared.
Yeah, it's just basically common sense, but you're so right to put it into the context of the last two, two and a half years.
As an immigrant to this country, as somebody who chose to come here to become an American citizen and still sees it, There's the greatest nation on God's Earth.
I am very saddened by the general lack of courage I've witnessed amongst my fellow Americans.
When it's, you know, one restaurant owner in California, one gym owner in New Jersey who says, no, no, no, you're not shutting down my business.
I get to feed my kids.
My employees get to feed my kids.
That should have been Americans in general.
Because that's how America was built.
Rugged individualism, the pioneer spirit.
And that's what you're going to find if you read the terminal list.

You've got to be prepared.
You've got to be organized.
On that note, a perfect segue.
If it's not just baby formula, what are you going to do if you go to the grocery and all the shelves are empty?
The local gross has 72 hours worth of stock in the back room.
That's it.

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

He knows how to do dialogue.
Why?
Because he read!
That's what he did.
He knows how to tell a good story, like so few conservatives and patriots out there.
Dear friends, millions of Americans are waking up to a country they simply do not recognize.
As they struggle to raise their families and pay the bills, the media and the corporations are saying that they're the problem with America.
Thankfully, there are some companies that still believe in America and are not woke.
One of them is Patriot Mobile, the only Christian conservative cell phone company in America.
They believe in the First Amendment, the Second Amendment, the sanctity of life.
They don't give millions of dollars to Planned Parenthood like the other phone companies.

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