Time Text
Thank you.
Thank you.
Thank you.
We all know some folks in our lives who we don't wish them ill will.
They say crazy stuff.
We're all like, well, you know, Uncle Joe, you know what happened to him.
You know, it's okay.
They're part of the family, but you don't give them serious responsibilities.
He's Uncle Joe!
You know what he's like.
He's part of the family, but you don't give him serious responsibilities.
Is that a bit of a Freudian slip, or is that a message that Uncle Joe has to be thrown under the bus, Obama?
Oh dear.
Happy Friday.
It's great to be back.
Thank you Jim Hansen yesterday for stepping up when I had to go to Nashville to see Governor Huckabee.
We were recording his Christmas special.
You don't want to miss it on the Trinity Broadcasting Network.
But my oh my, is it good to be back on the mic, especially after a day when I'm flying to Nashville and...
Jeff who's producing this show for our buddy Jim Henson says, and I'm at the airport getting ready to catch my plane.
Are you watching InfoWars?
I don't usually watch InfoWars, but you gotta switch it on right now for delightful things like this.
This is the dumpster fire catastrophe that was the Kanye West interview.
You're not a Nazi, you don't deserve to be called that and demonized.
Well...
I see good things about Hitler also.
I love everyone, and Jewish people are not going to tell me, you can love us, and you can love what we're doing to you with the contracts, and you can love what we're pushing with the pornography, but this guy that invented highways invented the very microphone that i use as a musician you can't say out loud that this person ever did anything good and i'm done with that i'm done with the classifications
every human being has something of value that they brought to the table especially hitler especially hitler i love the trolls especially As soon as I was watching it, I posted a little summary and I said, and he even says he likes Hitler.
And I get responses like, no, he never said that.
Oh, really?
Then what did you just hear?
Let's play another delightful cut from the man who sat there with a pair of pantyhose over his head.
Play cut.
I've said it, the most Nazi-like activities I've seen, and the Nazis, in my view, were thugs that shook people down, did a lot of really bad things.
But they did good things, too.
We're gonna stop dissing the Nazis all the time.
Okay.
We gotta stop dissing the Nazis, according to Kanye.
That man needs psychiatric help.
He is a rank anti-Semite.
And Alex, what does Alex Jones say there?
Yeah, they did a lot of bad stuff.
Mr. G, was that good for Alex Jones, or was that bad for Alex Jones?
If Alex has tried to not look insane, it was good for him, because it's the first time he looked somewhat sane.
Hang on, what do you mean?
Halfway through the interview, he puts on a lizard mask.
He puts on a gore mask, a lizard man mask, and does the interview dressed as a lizard man.
Oh, I didn't see that part then.
Oh, I saw something my producer didn't.
Oh, he was running a show.
Sorry.
Yeah, while I was waiting to get on my plane.
I'll show you the photograph.
It's rather funny.
Oh, by the way, Kanye.
Kanye.
No, Hitler didn't invent the highways.
He created the autobahn system but I think you'll find the Romans a little bit earlier created the highways across Europe yeah and the microphone Alex look up who invented the microphone because I think it probably wasn't the little Austrian corporal All right, let me tell you what happened to me after my event.
We've teased it already on social media.
There I am after hanging out with Governor Huckabee.
You don't want to be in this position, okay?
And I went to the usual cigar bar I hang out in Nashville when I'm there to see the governor.
And I'm about to light up a stogie, get some work done.
My son calls me and he says, Dad?
Uh, my room's been ransacked.
Mum's not home, and the window has been smashed in.
So last night, Gawker HQ was assaulted!
And I just have one thing to say, two things to say, three things to say!
Nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition.
No, stop that Gawker.
I have three things to say, and it might be four, but it'll definitely be three.
Number one, I am so proud of my son.
So proud of my son.
I watched him on the camera at the front of our house as he stood there waiting for the police with his five foot long Lord of the Rings sword slung on his back and my wife's favorite chrome-plated 870 Remington Mariner shotgun as he was telling the police yeah we've had a burglary by the way I'm standing out front and I'm armed okay that was my 23 year old son
And secondly, I am almost as proud of everybody.
There's three heroes here.
My son and our two dogs.
Because they didn't get anything.
They cased the upper part of our house.
They broke into his room.
They ransacked it.
They found his H&K handgun.
A very nice watch we gave him for his graduation last year.
And it was all there.
His computer, his iPad, his watch.
His Mark 23 handgun.
And they didn't take any of it.
Why?
The police have a very good theory.
We have two dogs.
If you follow me on social media, you know who they are.
Killian, a rather large Belgian Shepherd.
And Leia, his female buddy.
Who may be a lot smaller, but she has a bark like a 300 pound Rottweiler.
And she, if you don't see her coming, she's scary sounding.
And when she starts barking, it gets Killian going, and it is ferocious.
So here's the scenario.
They broke in, started ransacking my son's room.
We're ready to case the rest of the house.
And the dogs heard them, and they scared the crap out of them.
Here's the third thing I'm gonna say.
God bless the officers of the Fairfax County Police Department.
My son rang 9-1-1.
Within three minutes, the first squad car was there.
We live very close to a certain government facility and literally 0.9 of a mile from the local police headquarters.
But we had five squad cars there within a matter of five minutes.
A lieutenant, a detective were there till 1.30 in the morning.
The evidence team came, the crime scene team came, the techs.
It turns out this is a South American band of burglars that have been working this part of North Virginia and they were superb.
I'm not going to give out names because there are left-wing crazies out there.
I'll just salute Gunny as a certain officer who He said, I know which house I'm in.
And he told my son, I've sold your dad some guns because I used to work in the gun store down the road.
It's such a great thing to be here.
I'm so honored to be here.
So Gunny, thank you to you and to everybody else.
Lieutenant, the detective, all the other officers, the other lieutenant who came today to check up on us.
These are the people the left want to defund.
People who will come to you.
We didn't know if there was somebody still in the building.
We had no idea.
I said, son, get a weapon and get out.
Get out of the, get a weapon and get out of the building until the police arrived.
First squad car, two officers get out, pull their side arms and they cleared my home.
They made sure my son was safe and that my wife would be safe.
From top to bottom, from attic to basement, not knowing who was in there, they cleared the building.
Because they're men.
They're patriots.
God bless all law enforcement officers who did what they did for my family last night.
So I'll say a fourth thing.
Get a dog.
They truly are man's best friend.
Leia, Killian, they were rewarded when I got home from Nashville this morning.
You gotta love dogs.

It was a little faint.
Yeah.
Jeff?
Jeff?
Yes?
Rittenhouse confirmed next Friday, okay?
Okay.
Let's do the... Friday we always do... Reagan.
Reagan.
If you want to do two, since you'll be away from the mic for a while.
No, don't worry about that.
Let's have him... Let's do him live for the whole second hour.
Right?
Yeah, that's fine.
Let's do him live for the whole second hour.
Right?
Yeah, that's fine.
Does that work?
We'll just move a couple people around, but yeah.
Yeah, because it's Second Amendment, right?
Yeah.
Makes sense.
Who do you have to move?
Jim.
Yeah, move Jim to the first hour if he's free.
Let's listen to some cuts.
Go six on down.
Update, sorry for the delay, my life is chaos on how I clicker trained my family to get my correct pronouns now that I'm a trans person.
So, first of all, a lot of people were asking what treat I was using.
If you don't know, for circus dogs, when they do something that we like, we click that behavior, and then we give them a treat.
I did not use it as a positive marker like that for my family, because I'm not gonna treat them for basic human decency.
I instead used it as a negative marker, so every time they said, she, I would click, so that they would start to associate a click with a she in their head, and would start to automatically self-correct.
Alright, seven...
Look, there's a question of what happened and why, and who did what, um, what caused the meltdown, and I think that is, reads very differently, right?
When you, when you look at the classic Bernie Madoff story, there was no real business there.
The whole thing, as I understand it, I think, was, was just one, one big Ponzi scheme, right?
Can you move the camera?
Because I can't see anyone.
That was a real business.
Alright, keep going.
We're just so flummoxed by what's happening in the House, what Kevin McCarthy's putting out there.
They're talking about investigating how insurrectionists on January the 6th, rioters, some would say terrorists on January the 6th, are being treated.
They're choosing to make that one of their causes.
But I do think that there needs to be more and more international outrage over what's going on inside of Iran.
We have to be careful not to be seen as trying to manipulate the situation so that we in fact are engineering some type of coup or change.
Almost shocked at the level of silence.
And then I remembered, you know what?
China's billion-dollar investment into Hunter Biden when he flew over there on Air Force Two and walked away.
You know, China invests in a lot of crackheads, folks.
It's what they do.
They definitely don't do other diligence.
Martha McCallum destroyed Kirby on Fox Business.
Okay.
Can you find it for Jim?
Yeah, it was Fox Business?
Yeah.
Okay.
That's what Lisa Booth said.
Oh, we got 30 seconds.
Alright, so can you come in with Ackerman, Alex?
Yes.
Thanks.
We don't have it.
I have it different.
Come in with what you have.
Sorry, I'm getting a little choked up here.
I'm getting a little choked up here.
Sorry, I'm getting a little choked up here.
This subject is near and dear to my heart.
I love Angel Tree.
Donations go beyond the walls of a prison to reach the family.
And that's the heart of Angel Tree, is those kids that are out there who are away from their parents during this time.
This is a connection point for them to come together and just feel the heart and the love of their parent that's incarcerated.
Feel the love from their parent who is incarcerated.
That's what we do here.
And thanks to you, last Christmas, 236,000.
Let me just say that slowly.
Let me just say that slowly.
236,000 children who have a parent in prison received a gift from that mother, from that father, with a personalized note of love from that parent and a children's gospel because you donated $25. with a personalized note of love from that parent and I want us to do that for at least a third of a million children.
Will you make us...
Capable of doing that, of breaking that record.
It's just one of the most beautiful things you can do.
Please, please donate today.
Let's help some of the most vulnerable children in America today.
There's one and a half million of them who are missing a parent this Christmas.
Go to my webpage, donate $25.
If you donate $125, it's five children who will feel a little bit more love this Christmas.
Click on the angel tree banner at the top and donate as much as you can.
If you want to call it in, it's super easy.
It's tax-deductible.
The number is 888-206-2794.

God bless every single one of you, and Merry Christmas.
So I was celebrating my dogs.
I'm going to celebrate my dogs till kingdom come because how they bit the backsides of those burglars that broke into my house yesterday.
Killian!
Leia!
You're the best.
You should follow me on Instagram.
I post pictures of them and people love it.
Talking of dogs, you know those clickers you use?
Or trainers.
I don't.
Trainers use them.
When you want a dog to do something, you click, and then you give them a reward, and then they associate the reward with the click, and then sooner or later you don't need the reward, you just click them to sit down, to fetch, or whatever.
There's a crazy trans woman who says she's found a new way to use her dog clicker, this time on the humans in her family!
Cut six.
Update, sorry for the delay, my life is chaos on how I clicker trained My family to get my correct pronouns now that I am a trans person.
Um, so first of all, a lot of people are asking what treat I was using.
Um, if you don't know for circus dogs, when they do something that we like, we click that behavior and then we give them a treat.
Um, I did not use it as a positive marker like that for my family because I'm not going to treat them for basic human decency.
I instead used it as a negative marker.
So every time they said she, I would click so that they would start to associate the click with a she in their head and would start to automatically self-correct.
I don't reward them for using the right pronoun.
You mean the wrong one, because you're not a woman.
Because that's human decency.
So bad grammar is human decency.
I'm wondering, Eric, do you believe this?
Do you believe that there's a person out there that's using a dog clicker with their mother and their father?
It's been said that the problem with this timeline we live in now, I can't tell what's reality anymore.
So probably, who knows at this point.
That's actually a very sagacious comment.
It is hard nowadays.
Alex, do you believe it?
Do you believe that woman or is that just something for Instagram and libs of TikTok?
It's insane.
I wish we could use that for liberals when they violate the constitution.
I like that.
But a really massive one, a really loud one that makes their ears bleed.
I like that idea.
That's excellent.
Give that man a cigar.
Well, it's almost Christmas.
I think I have to give everybody a cigar.
All right, let's go to your calls.
The call board is absolutely lit up!
The number is 833-333-GORKA.
That's 833-334-6752.
Happy Friday, Al, California, line one.
How are you doing, Sebastian?
Good.
It's good to be home to see my family safe again.
That's good.
Listen, there are two bits of information about airplanes and movies.
There's a movie out now called Devotion that you might want to take a look at.
You might want to make a note about that, about the Korean War, about air fighting.
And the second one is, you ask about the planes and the Battle of Britain.
Well, a World War II veteran of the RAF was charged with gathering up the Spitfires.
He was only able to find two hurricanes.
I know!
But get this, he found some Heinkel bombers and Me 109s which were built by the Spanish Air Force.
I told this story!
Al, you didn't hear?
I told the story!
The Spanish Air Force lent them the planes.
It's incredible.
But they were being flown with Rolls-Royce Merlin engines.
Right, right.
There was a couple of things that weren't exactly right, and the cowlings on some of the planes were not exactly correct, but you're absolutely right.
And guys, if you haven't seen it, I just stumbled over it by accident on Pluto.
The Battle of Britain with Michael Caine, Laurence Olivia.
Absolutely stunning.
No CGI, just real Spitfires, real Heinkels.
Stunning.
Thank you, Al.
Let's go to Judy in Brooklyn, line two.
Thank God your son is OK.
And I have to tell you, and I'm listening to you, two things come to mind.
Number one, What if, God forbid, they would have, God forbid, harmed those two dogs?
Because that would have been a possibility if they're armed or something.
You just never know who these people are.
And two, do you have surveillance cameras?
And if you don't, I think you should get some surveillance cameras.
I do.
I do.
And I spent a long time yesterday in my cigar bar in Nashville remotely downloading the video for the police.
So thank you, Judy.
I do have cameras.
Did we lose Judy?
Hello?
Are you mobile?
Are you moving around?
We lost you there.
Oh, sorry.
I'm here.
I'm here.
Can you hear me?
Yes.
Can you hear me?
Can you hear me?
Yes.
The dogs, it scares the heck out of me.
What if they would have had guns and they would have done something to two beautiful dogs?
Yeah, it's, you know, after I knew my son was safe, it was like, I don't know if I should feel bad or not, but they're so part of our family.
I just, the next thing I said again and again and again, are the dogs okay?
And it's the same thing.
When I told my wife, who was out at an event downtown, she said, are the dogs okay?
So, you know, you know what it's like, Judy, there's so much a part of your family.
Yeah, but it's right.
And the thing is, these people that came in, what if they would have guns that would have, like, gobbled and hurt those dogs?
It's just so scary.
Or just kicked them or something else.
God bless, Judy.
Let's go to our buddy Brent.
Oh, no, it's another Brent.
Not in LA, in Arkansas.
Line three.
Hey, Brent.
Hey, thanks for taking my call, Dr. Corker.
First off, politically, I'm somewhere to the right of Attila the Hun.
That's a good place to be.
We like that.
Okay.
I am so sick and tired of our Republican Party making excuses for why we didn't do so well in the elections.
I listened to and followed about 20 different elections, and every one of the people would introduce problems and never offered a single solution.
We have got to get a Speaker of the House that has some gonads and we've got to start attacking.
This is getting to be ridiculous.
In an environment with 9% inflation, 2 million illegals that we know of, gas prices through the roof, a war in Europe, and as a conservative, you don't know what your party's platform is?
It's an indictment of the GOP.
Is it going to change?
I don't know.
Dear friends, we've only just started.
The number is 83333 Gawker.
Follow us on all social media channels.
We are everywhere!
Seb Gawker or Sebastian Gawker.
Truth Social, Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, Salem News Channel, Parlour, Telegram, Clout Hub, you name it.
and most important, sebastiangorka.substack.com.
Mic's on.
Mic's on.
Can you play me, um, nine and ten again?
But I do think that there needs to be more and more international outrage over what's going on inside of Iran.
We have to be careful not to be seen as trying to manipulate the situation so that we in fact are engineering some type of coup or change.
Almost shocked at the level of silence.
And then I remembered, you know what?
China's billion dollar investment into Hunter Biden when he flew over there on Air Force Two and walked away.
You know, China invests in a lot of crackheads, folks.
It's what they do.
They definitely don't do other diligence than that.
They get every crackhead and they give them a billion dollars into their fund, right?
No, no.
That investment is paying off in spades right now, folks.
All right.
Title for the monologue.
Um... And also for Brandon.
Let's go.
The dogs that saved the Gorka household.
Hello, what's your name?
Um... The most interesting point he made was the whole, like, uh, be nice to people who were once in your situation.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
The advice I give those following my, um, footsteps.
Yes.
That was a really good point.
Okay.
So we're gonna boil for just D?
Yes.
Alrighty.
You went line two in the break.
Kind of, uh... It's true.
Mic's on.
Line two.
Hey, who's this?
Hey, how's it going, bud?
My name is John.
Hey, John, what's your question?
What's your comment?
Well, I got a quick comment here, man.
I live in Las Vegas, Nevada, and just to make it real short and sweet, I believe that our government used COVID-19 to rig the election, and I believe that they are murderers.
My whole entire family caught that stuff, and I do consider it An attempted murder on my family by the government.
This whole thing was used to rig our election and destroy America.
What's your proof that the American government did it?
Oh, the proof.
Oh, here it is right here.
Dr. Fauci has a check that was signed, given to him from the Chinese government when he sold them the formula for COVID-19.
Then they turned around.
Now, remember, Dr. Fauci said that there would be a pandemic.
Where did you get that check?
It's a known fact.
No, no, no.
Where did you get it?
Don't give me bullshit like it's a known fact.
Where did you get it?
Dude, how come all of you guys... Where did you... Answer the question.
Answer the question.
You're full of crap, dude.
You are full of crap.
Can you answer the question?
You're a liar, dude.
You're a liar.
You're the liar.
You can't answer a question.
Why can't you answer a question?
You're a liar, dude.
Answer the question.
You're gonna ask me for proof over the phone?
Hey, hey, cuck boy.
Answer the question.
You're a liar, dude.
Where did you get it, cuck boy?
It is a known fact that he got a check from the Chinese for that.
Oh, go to hell, you stupid man.
Bye-bye.
What?
What?
Listen to him.
He's with us.
I like that liner!
We need more of that liner.
That's an excellent one.
Thank you, Alex.
Jeff, what did that caller I took in the break say to you?
Oh, he said he's going to stab me with his bayonet.
Why?
Because I hung up on him with what he was telling you, the ridiculous stuff.
But that's fine.
I have a long drive home, so I usually return a lot of these calls on the way home to entertain myself in traffic.
My producer has a very unique set of hobbies and proclivities.
Let me just share this with you guys.
If you're listening to this show, can I teach you a little bit of etiquette?
This goes for like 0.001% of you.
I was on the plane yesterday to Nashville and I answer a number that I don't recognize.
Guy refuses to give me his name and eventually says it's Richard.
And his line is this, Jeff, he says to me, Why are you taking another day off?
You're taking too many days off the show!
It's like... Dude, how'd you get my number?
I mean, you could be a fan of the show.
But calling my cell phone to complain?
You don't have to tune in.
You can listen to anybody else.
It's a little bit creepy, don't you think, Jeff?
I mean, there's fans, and then there's creepy, right?
I didn't know that's what it was about, though.
That is pretty crazy.
Right?
Yeah.
Right.
I don't always share with you.
I don't burden you with all of my troubles, because you've got enough work to do, Jeff.
But there's being a fan, and then there's being a creep, right?
Maybe a text would have been all right.
Maybe a text, but not a phone call.
Yeah, maybe a text.
Maybe a text.
All right.
Let's go to Mike, Line 3, California.
Welcome, Mike.
Hey, Dr. G. Happy Friday.
A couple of war movies for you.
They were expendable.
Ooh, I don't know that one.
John Wayne, Robert Montgomery, and it's loosely based on the PT squadron that got MacArthur off of Corregidor.
Oh, fabulous.
Real interesting movie.
I'm going to check that out.
So I've got two so far.
Devotion, They Were Expendable.
What's the second one?
Flight of the Intruder.
Oh, yeah.
Oh, classic.
Gene Hackman, right?
No, that was BAT-21.
This is Willem Dafoe as a bombardier navigator on an A6 intruder.
Is it better than BAT-21 or is it as good as?
It's as good as.
I think it's got a little more action in it.
They decide to head downtown and in Hanoi and bomb the site where they star all the FA3s.
So it's kind of exciting at that point.
I don't think I've seen that.
I don't think I've seen that either.
It's a good movie. - Thank you.
I don't remember the fellow who played the pilot, and I've never seen him in anything since, but it's pretty exciting.
Good flight scenes with the A7.
I'm flying to Israel with 300 of our listeners tonight, so I'm going to download all of these movies and watch them.

I wish you safe travels as you depart and head over to the Holy Land.
Thank you.
I wish you all well and safety for everybody.
Thank you.
And also, how dare you take time off from work?
My goodness.
Look, I love doing this job, but when Governor Huckabee says, do you want to be on my Christmas special, what am I going to say?
Sorry?
No?
Yeah, you've got to do what you've got to do, right?
Well, come on.
It's Governor Huckabee.
He's a great American.
Absolutely.
Alright, what's your question?
What's your comment, John?
Okay, so, uh, comment.
Uh, book recommended reading for you on your flight.
Yes.
Would be, uh, you can download it.
Last Stand of the Tin Can Sailors.
Last... And it is an absolute... Last Stand of the Tin Can Sailors.
It is about a battle off the coast of, uh, Samar.
Part of the Lady Golf Campaign in World War II.
Uh, where basically a, uh, Task Force Taffy Three was essentially ambushed by the Yamamoto.
And holy cow, the... You mean it was ambushed by the aircraft carrier, the Yamamoto?
No, no, by the battleship Yamamoto.
In that engagement, the only aircraft carrier, the only U.S.
aircraft carrier to have been sunk by a battleship in all of combat happened in that engagement.
All right.
It's an amazing book.
All right, I'm unfamiliar with it.
We will check it out.
I'll go to Audible as soon as the show's over.
Stay on the line.
Let's give our buddy one of our America First hats, because these are great recommendations.

Yeah, I'm surprised you've never I'm surprised you've never seen Flight of the Intruder. - Sir.
Yeah, it doesn't ring a bell.
The title sounds familiar, but I've never seen it.
Because you had Amanda Milius on.
John Milius directed Flight of the Intruder.
one of the collars was loose and it's on the hook inside the door of the front, next to the front door.
That's a Milius movie, John?
Yeah.
Yeah, when you had her on and you said that you directed Conan, I went and looked up his IMDB and I remember seeing that it was Flight of the Intruder.
So when you had that guest just said it.
It just doesn't ring a bell.
Let me have a look.
Let me see if I recognize it.
Who played with my microphone and moved my mic flag?
Was it Jim Hansen?
Probably the guy that hosted yesterday.
Yeah.
I was playing with it a little bit too because we were getting a little bit of, we had a little bit of audio buzz.
So I removed one of the things in it to make sure that that mic snapped in all the way.
Do I need to fix it?
Do I need to come in and fix it better?
No, we moved the flag to above the connector, but we can do it when I get back.
No, I have not seen this.
It's got... Danny Glover.
The guy that's the main actor probably knows him too.
But is it good, Jon?
I liked it.
I mean, it was pretty entertaining.
Alright, I'll rent it for the flight.
I got an 11 hour flight.
Oh, that's exactly how long Hawaii was.
Oh dear, look.
It cost 30 million and it made 14.
Look, it cost 30 million and it made 14.
Ouch.
Ouch.
Yeah, I padded out my flight duration with, uh... I had heard about The Chosen recently, so I watched both seasons of that.
Did you like it?
It was good!
I thought it was pretty straightforward.
I'm like, I never would have thought, okay, a series that basically shows the, like, logistical nightmare that was, like, oh, planning the Sermon on the Mount.
Like, I never would have considered that aspect.
Like, I'm out.
So how did you download both seasons?
Yeah, via Amazon Prime.
Because it's for free.
On your phone?
On my tablet.
Oh.
Yeah.
And then I watched Bodyguard, uh...
Risky business.
Nobody got the TV show?
No, the Kevin Costner movie.
Watch The Offer.
You got ten episodes of that.
He keeps mentioning that.
He really likes it.
The what?
The Offer.
It's a drama series about the making of The Godfather.
Oh, it's got good.
Thank you.
At any time you and I question the schemes of the do-gooders, we're denounced as being against their humanitarian goals.
They say we're always against things, we're never for anything.
Well, the trouble with our liberal friends is not that they're ignorant, it's just that they know so much that isn't so.
Now more than ever, now more than ever.
It's Friday.
It's Ask Dr. G Anything Friday.
I've got a long list of movie and book recommendations.
I'm excited because I've got an 11-hour flight to Israel tonight with my wife and 300 listeners.
It's our Stand with Israel tour.
I'll be meeting Dinesh D'Souza, his lovely wife Debbie, and we'll be away for, oh I'll be back on Friday, and we have some amazing guest hosts for you.
Including... Because I don't give over this microphone to just anybody, you know what I mean?
Carrie Lake!
Don't miss it!
First time ever I think she's hosting a radio show.
Star of TV, but now we're going to let her spread her wings on radio.

All right.
Do we have to speak politics?
I mean, it is Friday.
We're supposed to have fun on Fridays.
Let's do it anyway, because the swamp is still the swamp on Fridays.
He is the Washington Bureau Chief for that incredible website brightburn.com.
Matt Boyle, happy Friday!
Dr. G, always a pleasure.
Thanks for having me.
All right.
You, I have in front of me right here, it's an article.
It's got a byline by somebody called Matthew Boyle and it describes dastardly dealings by Mitch McConnell and something called the hotline attempt to approve the media cartel bill.
For our dear, dear listeners across the nation, will you explain what Mitch tried to do?
Yeah, so this is a process that they often use in the Senate.
It's actually pretty regular use because a lot of what moves through the Senate isn't controversial like this plan is, right?
So they approve all sorts of different things via a hotline.
Explain what a hotline is.
Yeah, so when they hotline a bill, they're sending it out across the conference.
So Mitch McConnell's sending it out to all the Republicans, and then Chuck Schumer's sending it out to all the Democrats.
And if nobody objects to it, then they'll go to the Senate floor and they'll just pass it via unanimous consent.
So it's like silence is acquiescence, if you don't say anything.
In other words, basically, yeah.
So there's an extra step beyond that, which is that if nobody objects, then they have to actually go do the unanimous consent thing.
But the hotline thing just speeds up the process.
So they were trying to jam this thing on through when nobody was noticing on Thursday afternoon.
Explain for those who missed it, what is the JCPA?
Yeah, so the JCPA would create an antitrust carve-out to allow media companies to form cartels and band together to collectively bargain with big tech companies.
Proponents of the bill would argue that it would force big tech to pay people for their content.
But again, there are so many concerns with this and there aren't guarantees that all conservative media would be included in the cartels.
So in other words, what would end up happening is a whole bunch of establishment media outlets would get together and make a special deal with Facebook and Google to pay for their content and they kick out people like Breitbart the Federalist and probably you name the rest of the other conservative media outlets because they've been doing this anyway, right?
So all it would do is it would just more thoroughly empower the entrenched, the structures that be.
And it's an antitrust carve-out, very similar to Major League Baseball's antitrust carve-out.
And Mitch wanted this because he's not MAGA in America First.
Right.
And so now there's a little bit of a caveat here.
Hotlining the bill, that's just Schumer is considering moving on this legislation.
So they're gauging the level of opposition.
So my recommendation, if people don't like this bill, they should be calling their senators and asking them to add their name as a hold on this legislation on the hotline.
The hotline's still open.
Right now, several senators have already put a hold on the legislation.
Every senator should be putting a hold on this legislation.
The more senators that do, the more controversial it becomes.
So, the first step is that they would, if there's nobody that put a hold on it, which is not what happened, thank God there were several conservatives who, like Tom Cotton, Marshall Blackburn, and a few others, I think, Mike Lee, That put a hold on it, that it would go by unanimous consent.
That didn't happen.
So now the question is, is will the Democrat Senate Majority Leader, Chuck Schumer, try to attach the bill to a must-pass piece of legislation?
There are two major must-pass pieces of legislation moving in the lame duck.
They are the NDAA and they are the Omnibus Spending Bill.
Both are potential vehicles for them to try to attach this into it.
And just slip it in in the dead of night and nobody will notice.
It's such a huge monumental policy change to the way media and tech operate in America that it would be abhorrent and disgusting if they tried to do that.
But that's something we need to be on the lookout for because Washington and the Swamp are like that.
But so that's the next thing.
And then if they don't do that, will they try to consider passing it out of the Senate as a standalone bill in the final three weeks here of this year.
We've successfully held this up for the last two years during a Democrat-controlled Congress.
And by the way, that's proof that if we fight back even when they're in the majority and we're in the minority, we can still stop them.
And so we've got to make it three more weeks without them being able to do this, and then they will have failed on this regard.
But again, everybody needs to be calling their senator and tell them to put a hold on this bill, on the hotline.
The more senators that put their name on the bill as a hold, right, like against it, as a hold on the hotline, The more, the less likely it is they try to attach it to a must pass legislation because it becomes more and more controversial.
From what I understand, several more senators have joined from the original two that put a hold on it last night.
And who are the good guys so far?
So, like I said, I know that Senator Cotton, Senator Lee, and Senator Blackburn have all put holds on the legislation, so they're the three good ones so far.
And I think there are more than that.
I can't confirm it.
It's not like the list of these is public, so you have to get it from Senate offices, and I've been working on trying to nail that down.
There are several more senators, by the way, who are against this bill.
Many good ones.
Rand Paul, for instance, was for it.
He was a co-sponsor of the original version, but he withdrew co-sponsorship before.
So that's good.
Senator Rubio is against this bill.
He's made that very clear.
There are many more than that as well.
Let's post this right now, Eric.
This is Matt's piece on the JCPA.
Educate yourself.
We can't let them try to create cartels to destroy conservative media.
Read Matt's article and then contact your senator.
Thank you, Matt.
Have a blessed, blessed weekend.
I'm Sebastian Gawker.

Who sent them to you?
I know, but what's the person?
Can you turn your mic on, Alex?
It's radio.
And then what is this?
This is a 60 and then just a short sentence?
Is it a donut that they're putting around?
Because it says Dennis, Trish, Gawker and Black.
Who's Dennis Black?
Oh no, that's the inventor.
Okay.
I think you gave me your copy as well, because I've got two copies of everything.
Does that sound right?
Title for Boyle?
Mitch McConnell's assault on MAGA Media.
Ooh, that's a good headline.
Mitch McConnell's assault on MAGA Media.
Wow.
All right, what have we got here?
This is it.
They say crazy stuff where I'm like, well, you know, Uncle Joe, you know what happened to him?
You know.
It's okay.
They're part of the family.
But you don't give them serious responsibilities.
You don't give Uncle Joe serious responsibilities, you heard him!
That's Barack Obama!
He used to be his boss!
Dear friends, if you're America First, prove it!
You gotta get your America First gear!
Christmas time is almost upon us!
Go right now to SebGorkerStore.com, check out the brand new MAGA Returns Trump 2024 t-shirt with President Trump.
You've got to check it out.
We're celebrating his announcement.
The challenge coin you guys designed with President Trump with my stay frosty motto and the FBI fascist Bureau of Intimidation t-shirt that we have issued directly in cooperation with the great Chris Plant.
Do it today.
SebGorkaStore.com.
Let's go to David California line one.
Oh, thanks for taking my call, Sebastian.
I'm going to try to be light today.
Mike Pence was on Great Assessor yesterday, also known as the new Father O'Banion.
He's hawking his book, and I guess, excuse me, I think the thing that bothers me about him is, after all that man has done, he's trying to cloak himself in Christianity.
I think that this is one guy that should never do it.
He continues, continues to talk like The boy scout that he's not.
And I just wanted to get your view of this guy.
I don't know.
Maybe he's a traitor.
I don't know.
Yeah.
Traitor, I think, is a little strong.
He's not aiding and abetting a foreign power.
But he wussed out.
He was not courageous on January the 6th.
And here's my issue with Mike Pence, who was very nice to me in the White House.
Why is he talking out right now about President Trump?
And he's kept his mouth shut for two years about the border, about the January 6th political prisoners, illegal immigration, inflation.
He doesn't want to talk about that, but he'll talk about President Trump and Kanye West.
Something wrong with that.
Let's go to Tom Atlanta, line 5.
Hey Sebastian, safe travels to the Holy Land.
Thank you.
Okay, so what I'm calling about today is, you know, I would, because you're one of the few that has a strong voice, whether it's against Biden or Milley or whoever it is, you don't hold, you don't pull any punches.
And so I have a respectful request for whenever the Democrats and the Bidens and their cadre of criminals talk about the right being a threat to democracy, why aren't leaders or just regular people in the Congress, Senate or Or the House jumping up in unison or one at a time and saying, hold on there, Joe.
You got it exactly backwards.
Look in the mirror, pal.
And you know, when they jail... We're out of time, but I'll tell you what, it's very simple.
You use the word regular.
There are very few regular people in Congress, in the Senate.
They're politicians.
Their filth.
That's why, Tom.
Don't ruin my mood!
It's Friday!
Stay with us.
hour two imminent.

He's in studio!
He's made a rare appearance.
He is the Baron and he has a new title to share with us as he waves his baronial wave.
Boris Epstein, what is your new title?
I'm proud to say and honored to say that I'm senior advisor for President Trump's third presidential win, the campaign for the White House 2024.
I wish I had some cigars and some champagne and some single malt to crack out.
Congratulations, senior advisor for the 2024 presidential campaign.
So what can you tell us?
What secrets can you divulge in front of 3 million people right now?
This is a big-time, super-secret plan.
I'm going to tell everybody.
Pay attention!
Pay attention!
This is like law school.
I had a great professor at law school who said, whenever you say there's a three-part test, everybody always... So this is a super-secret plan.
It's the one point.
Full spectrum dominance.
Oh, I like that.
I like that.
Full spectrum dominance.
So it's going to be on every front.
Absolutely.
President Trump is running because he built the country into the shining beacon on a hill that it deserves to be, that it's God's place, God's decision for it to be, and it's being destroyed by the pathetic, Hapless.
Sad.
Democrats.
But Joe, I mean, Marcus Lafayette yesterday?
Yeah, Marcus Lafayette.
200 lobsters.
So, I didn't do this.
I opened the show telling the story I briefly shared with you about my home being burglarized yesterday while I was out on business and my son coming home to find his room ransacked.
And my wife said, I asked her permission because, you know, Women are like I said, you know, there's sensitivities Would you want me to talk about this today or not to divulge what happened to us?
And she said absolutely talk about it praise what the dogs did praise what the police did within three minutes five squad cars there praise our son who?
Dealt with the whole situation by himself and then at the end she added this and I forgot to add this in my monologue I just simply ran out of time.
She said And tell them this is Biden's America.
It is.
That in Northern Virginia, right?
It's actually, you know, a very nice part of Virginia.
It's within 15 minutes of downtown DC.
And the police told us, the police told us, it is a South American gang that has started ransacking houses in our part of Northern Virginia.
And Eric said, you asked the question about that piece of intelligence from the Fairfax police?
I said, South American gang.
I can't imagine how they ended up here.
Yeah, South American gang.
How did they get here?
I wonder how they got here, Boris.
I'm sure it had nothing to do with the fact that Biden and the Democrats have destroyed our southern border.
First of all, so thankful that you and your family are okay and safe.
That's vital.
That's number one through 15 million.
The next point is, our country isn't safe.
We don't even have a country.
We have no border.
We have no functioning economy.
We're $32 trillion in debt.
We have no monetary fiscal system.
We don't have any foreign policy.
What's our foreign policy?
Where do we actually stand on the war in Ukraine?
Where do we actually stand on China?
Where do we actually stand on Iran under the Democrat, feckless, pathetic, tired, hapless leadership?
You mentioned China.
I think he's been peeking at my notes.
Let's listen to President Trump's son, who had this interesting explanation as to Why this administration is eating 200 lobsters at the state dinner last night in the White House and saying nothing about the events in China?
Almost shocked at the level of silence.
And then I remembered, you know what?
China's billion-dollar investment into Hunter Biden when he flew over there on Air Force Two and walked away.
You know, China invests in a lot of crackheads, folks.
It's what they do.
They definitely don't do other diligence than that.
They get every crackhead and they give them a billion dollars into their fund, right?
No, no, no.
That investment is paying off in spades right now, folks.
Yeah, very wise investment on behalf of Beijing when Vice President Biden flew to China with his son on Air Force Two.
We played multiple times.
We'll play it again with our next buddy, Jim Carafano.
The clips from Kirby from the White House saying, we're not going to comment on the events occurring in China, which are utterly historic.
As somebody born in a former communist dictatorship, whose family got out of there, Did you ever expect to see this from... I don't care political parties.
Aim me!
Political administration.
In America, no.
This is not American.
If you look at the history of America and the fight against the Soviet Union, Soviet Communism, the same that Nixon was a Cold War warrior, Carter became a Cold War warrior, and Reagan was a Cold War... JFK!
JFK, LBJ.
It was bipartisan.
Bill Clinton was strong, right?
Look at the events in the former Yugoslavia, right?
The lack of leadership, the lack of presence, the lack of hegemony from this administration isn't just troubling, it's treasonous.
That's what it is.
They are selling our country down the river, and they're selling our country to China, they're selling our country to other adversaries and allies alike, and America is not respected right now, and that's why we need President Trump back in the Oval Office as soon as possible.
So what's the plan?
And you can't divulge anything that's too technical or gives away the game plan that the left could exploit, but it looks as if we see this disastrous... The GOP is using earmarks again.
They're planning to use earmarks again.
Okay?
When they said years ago, we're banning earmarks because that's pork and that's wrong.
We're not seeing a new America First GOP, so what's the president's plan to To direct the ship of conservatism back to what he brought us.
Tell us there's some kind of game plan.
There's absolutely a plan.
And the plan is to have the authentic connection with the American voter.
Not just the MAGA base, but everybody.
Everybody who's struggling in rural America, inner city America, they connect with him on making sure that we are, and this isn't a slogan, it's an action item, we're putting America first.
That the swamp is defeated, and you're right about the pork, right?
And now there are some MAGA candidates, especially newly elected strong MAGA candidates, like Eli Crane and others, and also the whole Freedom Caucus, who are standing for the MAGA ideals, who are standing for MAGA principles, and President Trump is going to continue To trumpet those, and this campaign is all about making sure the uniparty, not just the Democrats, but the uniparty, the establishment, does not ruin our country fully and run it into full oblivion.
That is why President Trump has decided that he's got to fight back, he's got to stand for America, and has to get back in the Oval Office, not for himself, but for the American people.
You can tell he's a senior advisor.
Did you catch that little thing that America First isn't just a slogan, it's an action item?
I like that.
That might have a little copyright Boris on the bottom of it.
Alright, last question.
Is, are the America First guys, the Freedom Caucus guys, like Matt Gaetz, who are saying Kevin McCarthy can't be the guy, are they tilting at windmills?
Is this some quixotic hope that we could have some kind of America First speaker, or is this done and dusted?
Well, it's really a question of numbers, right?
It's a very tight majority.
It's 222, right?
Kevin McCarthy has worked with MAGA, but he obviously comes from a background of establishment.
And I think it's going to be very interesting to see how it plays out.
He's got work to do.
I think that's very clear.
And if he's able to get those, to make sure that he gets the 218, that'll be a testament to him.
But right now there are, I think, seven, eight, maybe almost closer to ten public holdouts.
It's going to be old-fashioned Washington dealing, and it'll be up to those members to make a decision.
But the math is tight.
I mean, it's about as tight as it can be, right?
You're talking about only being able to lose four votes, when in the caucus vote, the 36 went the other way.
And again, when Kevin McCarthy went to the border, I praised him on Steve Bannon's show.
That was the right move to go to the border on Thanksgiving week.
And he's taken some actions that have—you know, we've got to give credit where credit is due, that full stop.
But he's also obviously got work to do to convince these members.
And that is up to him to do that work.
I'll just repeat what Mark Levin said two weeks ago, I think, on his show, The Great One.
And it was a perfect summation.
That's why he's The Great One.
He said, you know, when it comes to the two leaders, McConnell and McCarthy, McConnell is evil.
McCarthy isn't.
And at least he's not anti-MAGA.
He's not anti-America First.
I can deal with that.
I can deal with that, as long as he listens to the New America First Alliance.
As long as he works with us.
And as long as he listens to the strategic advisor to the Trump 20— Senior advisor.
Senior!
Strategic is cool, too.
You used to be strategic.
I've had both.
You've had both.

Well, first of all, Hopefully nobody in Europe is listening, but Budapest is the most beautiful Central European city.
It's an amazing city.
You've got the river in the middle, the mountains.
And I've been to all of them.
It's just a beautiful city.
And the food's not too shabby either.
And we were in Warsaw as well and had a great time.
First of all, you have to go to Poland to really understand how existential the Ukraine challenges to Central Europe.
And the nonsense about, oh, it's just a big money laundering.
This is 44 million people fighting for their lives.
The countries around them understanding the importance of this and really putting themselves at risk for this.
It's super, super powerful.
What was the mood like in Poland?
I think very optimistic and very strong.
And what's important about Hungary is Hungary is, this government is, they're nationalists.
They believe in the people of Hungary.
And when they talk about family values, this is genuine, real, who they are.
And the people of Hungary are, right?
The EU must crush them, right?
This notion of an independent state- With borders.
That has conservative values and institutions.
This is unpermissible in modern Europe.
They must be destroyed.
And so in their own way, I mean, that's another consequential struggle for them.
And getting there and understanding all the dynamics of this.
And important for me, and I think for all your listeners, is when people say, well, what do we care about those Europeans?
First of all, many of them are us.
You can go in Central Europe, actually you can go many places in Europe, and if you're a Texan or a Floridian or somebody from Arkansas, you will feel just as at home as if you were in your own community because they believe in the things you believe in, they hate the woke, they think this energy scam is a scam.
They believe in peace through strength.
They believe in secure borders.
They believe in lawful immigration.
They believe in governments that ought to be responsible.
They believe in economies that work for their citizens.
And I think the future of the transatlantic community is going to be stronger than ever.
And the bond is going to be conservatives.
How is Orban's fight against those forces going?
Was he optimistic?
Because in the end, they don't care about a trans-line community because they're globalists.
It's all about, as long as we're all following the agenda from the World Economic Forum, it doesn't matter.
And how is Orbán's fight against those forces going?
Was he optimistic?
What was the mood in Hungary?
We had an hour-long meeting, and I'm not going to go into that because that's unfair.
But in terms of mood.
Well, look, there's this one thing that the Hungarians and Poles, these are people that are, it reminds me of the scene in A Bridge Too Far about the British Brigade that gets trapped on the other side of the river and they're surrounded, and Anthony Hopkins, is he?
Yeah, he gets on the phone.
And the radio, when they say, you know, you're completely surrounded, goes, well, I guess we're just still here then, shall we?
I mean, and this is, you know, kind of like when you're going to Israel, like, this is our country.
We have no place else to go.
Geography is destiny.
That's right.
We are not leaving.
And they are strong and resilient and courageous people.
And I'm all excited about it.
Now, look, I mean, I'll be honest with you.
Look, Hungary's, I mean, you know, it's got its own issues.
They take money from Russia and China.
Let's be honest about that.
And the reason why they do that is the EU is trying to crush them, and they have to balance that.
And they have a weak partner in the United States, and everybody else is out to get them.
And they have no more interest in selling out their government to the Chinese or the Russians than anybody else.
But they're trying to find a way to maintain their independence and strength.
Are they aware of the dangers of that Chinese-Russian relationship?
You know, I'll be honest with you.
I'm not sure they really appreciate that.
And here's the challenge, I think, for Hungary.
And the reality is that those are losing propositions.
Russia is a fading problem.
We've already hit peak China.
And they're not partners.
That's right.
They're vampires in the end of the day.
It's to your last pint of blood.
They're not sustainable partners in the long term.
But here's the challenge is, what do I have to counter the oppressive power of the European Union?
And the answer is, you need a strong partnership with the United States of America, which, of course, we have a president now who's not really into that kind of stuff.
And you need regional integration and economic growth that makes central, you know, southern Europe a counterweight to Berlin and Brussels.
There's 40 million Poles, 44 million Ukrainians...
10 million Hungarians, right?
And then you throw in some Czechs and Romanians, whatever.
Suddenly you've got a potential, and you've got agriculture, energy.
Tourism.
Well, tourism, eh.
But industrial potential population.
You have a potential economic engine that can rival Germany.
So I'm really bullish on the future of Europe.
And the reason why, at the end of the day, why there's a possibility for a future in Europe with people as different as Roman and everybody else is there's an unwillingness to give up this idea of democracy, of freedom, of individual liberty, of family, of God and religion, of individual liberty, of family, of God and religion, Just saying, as much as the EU tries to pry your fingers open, just saying, no, I just can't let go of these things.
Sovereignty.
Fundamentally, they understand the importance of sovereignty.
We're talking to Jim Carafano, a man with a frequent flyer account that makes most people envious.

Jim in a moment.
That stunning, you know, of course it's a midi lecture because, you know, Poles like their history, but when he said, the Germans have made their analysis.
What are you going to do about the... Oh, I'll do it.
Alright, do you want the phones open then, or?
Yeah, open them up.
Alright.
That incredible thing, he went back to Bismarck and all this, when he said, Germans have realized that they only thrive when they're in partnership with Russia.
And it just blows your mind.
And you look at the cycle, and he's right.
We had dinner with the foreign minister.
We see you after.
No, route.
So we get in the car, and I thought, okay, we're going to some restaurant.
And then like 30 minutes later, I'm like, where the hell are we going?
So they drove us out.
We had dinner in a country palace, right?
And it's a museum, and it was all closed.
They opened it up just for us, and just the four of us.
And he walked us through this thing and the reason for that is is this is a they've restored it to like the 17 whatever so this is a you know a country that was vaporized off the face earth for 300 years and there he's it's an illustration of you can't get rid of Poland right here because it's restored to what it was and he said you know a lot of the items in the house when the Russians You said it.
I heard it.
the staff took everything in the house and buried it.
And then in 1989, when the Russians left, they brought it all back, which is why they had.
But it's just this, it was a not very subtle message about this is, you cannot obliterate the people. - Brazilians. - Yeah.
I mean, this is the thing about this whole, I mean, I think the integration session, this notion that you can abolish a people's identity, It's like, dude, you've been, people have tried this for hundreds of years, you know, Slovaks are Slovaks.
You know, Poles are Poles.
Hungarians are Hungarians, you know?
And that sense of identity is not going away.
And not in a kind of the Russian sense of, you know, I want peace.
I want a piece of this country.
I want a piece of that country.
It's, you know, in the sense of we are a community and we're not going to give that up.
And what's wrong with that?
Why is that ennobling?
I don't think, I mean, I think it is.
I think it's absolutely admirable.
How was the meal?
The food was good.
All the food was good.
I feel really sorry for, you know, because this is, you know, the thing I like most about this, we should do this live, about this trip was, you know, people, oh, Caravana, you're going off to this beautiful place or whatever.
Like, dude, walk in my shoes.
Get on a plane at 3 o'clock in the morning, fly somewhere, get off the plane, go right into a meeting, go into meetings until 10 o'clock at night, and do it all again the next day, and then get on a plane at 3 o'clock, and then tell me how much fun it is.
I ran and ragged, and they were like, whoa, man.
All right, stand by.
All right.
This is Second Amendment Friday on America First with Dr. G.

Why does China matter?
Let's just remind the world what America represents and has done for both Democrat and Republican administrations since at least 1948.
Here's somebody called President Truman.
One of the primary objectives of the foreign policy of the United States is the creation of conditions in which we and other nations will be able to work out a way of life free from coercion.
This is no more than a frank recognition that totalitarian regimes imposed upon free peoples by direct or indirect aggression undermine the foundations of international peace and hence the security of the United States.
If people are being oppressed in mass numbers, it doesn't matter where they are, sooner or later that will affect us.
In the meantime, we have an administration that says, nope, we're not going to talk about China, we're going to stay out of that argument, we don't have anything to say, and people who are making billions out of us and China ...seemingly also have very little to say.
This is Tim Cook, CEO of Apple, who, um, I don't know, Cat got his tongue?
There are, in the environmental leadership today, is... There is a cut, one.
...the Chinese people's right to protest.
Do you have any reaction to the factory workers that were beaten and detained for protesting COVID lockdowns?
Do you regret restricting airdrop access that protesters used to evade surveillance from the Chinese government?
Do you think it's problematic to do business with the Communist Chinese Party when they suppress human rights?
That's Hillary Vaughn of Fox Business.
God bless her.
Well done.
Jim, you've served this nation in uniform for more than 20 years in the US Army.
You fought the Cold War.
Aren't you ashamed of what we represent in terms of the administration and business leaders?
Well, so this is ironic, you know, because on the one hand they talk about global norms and all this other nonsense.
Human rights!
Right.
But on the other hand, when China or Iran or even Russia do these horrific, terrible things, they just feel muted and embarrassed.
And I think this is the difference between them And by us, I don't mean, you know, we are neocons that want to go out and bomb everybody and bend everybody to America's will in the world.
It's this notion of, when we talk about America's global interests and responsibilities, it's not the World Economic Forum and globalism and global governance.
It's about what's in the best interest of the American people?
And often we find out it is standing up for who we are.
You know, I say this all the time.
What's the difference between us and Russia and Iran and the United States?
Fundamentally, and even America and all the countries and people in America, and that we have all kinds of differences and everything, but fundamentally, we and the free world, right?
Whatever you want.
We believe in basic human rights, right?
Not being beaten up and thrown in jail, you know, not being allowed to pray.
We believe in human rights.
We believe that the governments ought to be elected by their people, and the governments ought to be accountable to their people.
And we believe that, you know, I don't care, some version of the free market system, whatever you want to call it, right?
You work hard, you should get rewarded for that, right?
Private property.
Right, exactly.
Right?
We believe in those things.
China, Russia, Iran, they don't believe in any of those things.
And not only do they not believe in them, they see their mere existence... As a threat to them.
As the ultimate obstacle to the expansion of their power and influence, and it must be destroyed.
And that is why, if you are in Moscow and Beijing and Tehran, you wake up every morning with one, that today I hope is the last day America is in the world.
That how can I get to a world without America?
Because we are the biggest obstacle to that.
So, we don't talk about doing things because...
You know, we want to be friendly, or because we want George Soros to be happy everywhere he goes.
It is in our interests.
And here's the difference.
Look, what American, particularly American conservatives, and this is what I'm happy, we're not tired of wars.
We're tired of stupid, right?
Whether it's a Republican government or a Democratic government, we want a government that's going to take our tax dollars to do something around the world, damn sure to benefit us, and damn sure to make the world a better place.
We just don't want stupid.
Yeah.
He had enough of stupid.
I think there was a former president who said something about stupid wars.
I think his number was 45.

Complacency is a weakness that patriots cannot afford.
For that reason, Carr Firearms is teaming up with America First in 2022.
Carr believes Americans shouldn't be afraid to publicly stand up for our freedoms.
This is about being more than just a simple gun enthusiast.
This is a very personal issue as we struggle for the soul of America.
Carr wants America First listeners to know they are not afraid to publicly support Second Amendment Friday.

All right, now we'll get to your calls momentarily, but no special guests.
For Second Amendment Friday, because I want to talk to you about the Second Amendment and how it was put into effect last night in my home.
First, let's have a little reminder of, well, the Manhood Hour is going to be next, with Senior CIA Operations Officer Rick Prado, a legend in the Black Ops community.
And in the spirit of our weekly Manhood Hour, you do not want to miss it.
Let's listen to what a man in a wheelchair said on the floor of Congress, an individual I was hanging out with at Mar-a-Lago just two weeks ago when the President made his historic announcement.
And it has to do with the Second Amendment, and it's about being a man.
Cut five.
Our young men are taught that weakness is strength, that delicacy is desirable, and that being a soft metrosexual is more valuable than training the mind, body, and soul.
Social media has weakened us, siphoning our men of their will to fight, to rise in a noble manner, square their jaws, and charge once more into the breach of life to defend what they love.
So on this precipice of disaster, I ask the young men of this nation a question.
Will you sit behind a screen while the story tales of your forefathers become myth?
Or will you stand resolute against the dying light of America's golden age?
Will you reclaim your masculinity?
Will you become a man to be feared, to be respected, to be looked up to?
Or will you let this nation's next generation be its final generation?
Will you let this next generation be our final generation of men?
Thank you, Madison Cawthorn.
So, if you missed it, I shared at the beginning of our show what happened to my home yesterday night.
While my wife was at a business dinner in D.C., I was in Nashville with Governor Huckabee, and my son was at the gym.
Somebody broke into our home.
And I was in Nashville when I get a call from my 23-year-old son.
Dad, my room's been ransacked and the window has been broken in.
What would you do when you're two hours flight away, your wife isn't there, and your son's alone?
And okay, my son is a grown man.
He's a fine figure of a man.
He's an athlete.
He's even taller than I am.
Stronger than I am.
But he's still my son.
He's my child.
So I told him, because we didn't know who was in the building.
We didn't know if they were still there.
The doors to the attic had been left open.
Were they still casing the house?
So I said one thing very quickly.
Get a weapon and get out of the building.
And he did.
He has a sword.
I gave him a real sword in his room.
And he also knows where my wife, because when I'm traveling my wife has a 12-gauge Remington 870 Mariner next to the bed with a side saddle full of slugs and buckshot.
And he grabbed and loaded the 12-gauge.
And I told him, call the police now.
Because calling the police isn't enough.
You do know that, right?
If you're listening to this show, it really doesn't matter what your attitude to guns is.
Put yourself in my son's position.
The police isn't enough.
God bless all, what was it, ten officers that came to our house last night.
We had a squad car there.
In three minutes, two officers jumped out, pulled their side arms and cleared my home from attic to basement.
Because they didn't know who was in there.
They cleared it.
But that was three minutes.
So take the Second Amendment seriously.
It's about securing your liberty from a tyrannical government.
But it's more than that.
It's about securing yourself and your family.
So if you've never done it before, this weekend, go to a range With a buddy, hire a weapon, get some basic gun instruction, and learn how to shoot.
Get some training, buy a gun that works for you, and then, if you're in a state that doesn't recognize the Second Amendment as a shall issue, get a concealed carry permit.
Because that's what I do.
Let's go to your calls.
Jeff, Houston, line two.
Dr. Gorka, hi.
I need to go to McKinley and John Hay for the opening of China, or at least the open-door policy.
Truman was brilliant in Europe.
He was weak and miserable in Asia.
He lost China.
He said misgivings to the Chinese about Korea.
He was wrong about Taiwan.
He was asleep at the wheel.
With all the power we possess, we were miserable failures in Asia.
Yeah, it's the big question of the era back then.
Who lost China?
And the fact that the Kuomintang were pushed out by the mass murderer Mao Zedong, it's hard to disagree.
But talk is cheap, talk is cheap.
It's hard to be a president at that time in the world.
With communism on the rise.
But thank you for your historic comments.
I'm Sebastian Gorka.

I love everyone, and Jewish people are not going to tell me, you can love us, and you can love what we're doing to you with the contracts, and you can love what we're pushing with the pornography, but this guy that Invented highways.
Invented the very microphone that I use as a musician.
You can't say out loud that this person ever did anything good, and I'm done with that.
I'm done with the classifications.
Every human being has something of value that they brought to the table.
Especially Hitler.
He's a filthy anti-Semite and he also needs psychiatric help.
The dumpster fire that was the Kanye West-Alex Jordan's Infowar commercial.
Yeah, it was a commercial.
And did you see that he was wearing a black mask?
Like pantyhose for the whole thing.
People ask me why.
Well, because he's actually pro-Balenciaga.
And that's what he and Kim Kardashian wore.
Yeah, black masks to the Met Gala.
And he's fine with a promotion of child pornography.
Let's go to your calls.
Don't forget, next week I am off for four days.
I'm in the Holy Land with 300 of you, our dear listeners.

We're going to have Carrie Lake is going to be one of our guest hosts.
I'm so excited.
Let's squeeze one more call in before we go to Mr. Rick Prado, former CIA Senior Covert Operations Officer.
Let's go to Brent in LA.
Happy Friday, Brent.
A blessed Christmas, Great Gorka.
Thank you, my friend.
How are we doing?
Okay, and I wanted to thank God, your son, and your pooches for protecting America's command center.
The pooches and my son did a valiant job.
Three heroes and the Fairfax County Police.
Thank you, all of you.
And for your flight to Israel, I suggest two awesome Hollywood epics.
Okay.
Produced when Hollywood loved God, America, and Israel.
I'm writing.
I'm ready to write.
Tell me what they are.
Cast a Giant Shadow, 1966, with Kirk Douglas, Yul Brenner, John Wayne, Frank Sinatra, and Angie Dickinson.
About the first American Jewish general in Israel, since biblical times, who helped to establish the new state of Israel.
I love Yul Brynner.
He's one of my favorite actors.
This is an amazing movie that really enough people do not watch.
All right.
Next one?
Exodus.
Oh, yes.
You know, Exodus with Paul Newman and Otto Preminger.
And so the thing about it is, It is such a brilliant movie, but it's so sad because it is so current.
All the same dynamics and everything they talk about are just recurring and recurring, and I think both of them will just be such an inspiration on your way to Israel.
All right, I'm going to be super busy after this show.
Putting movies onto my iPad.
Thank you to everybody.
Catch, A Giant Shadow, Exodus.
I've got Devotion, They Were Expendable, Flight of the Intruder, Last Stand of the Tin Can Sailors.
Thank you guys!
I'm Sebastian Gawker.
This is America First.
next The Manhood Hour.
The Manhood Hour
The Manhood
Hour The Manhood
Hour If you seek liberalization, come here to this gate.
Mr. Gorbachev, open this gate.
Mr. Gorbachev, Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall.
Welcome, dear friends, to the Manhood Hour with me, your host, Sebastian Gorka.
Being a leader of men requires courage.
Being a leader of men requires commitment to the truth.
That, of course, was President Ronald Reagan, a man who, along with Margaret Thatcher and blessed St.
John Paul II, was responsible for The greatest victory without a shot being fired, that is the dismantling of the Berlin Wall.
What is the state of courage today when we have a White House that is saying, well, Chinese protesters, we're not going to take a side in the suppression of people in the biggest communist dictatorship in the world.
Let's ask A warrior.
Let's ask a man who was very involved in that Cold War that had rather rather hot parts to it.
He's been a guest before here on America First, former senior CIA operations officer.
He's the author of Black Ops, Rick Prado.
Welcome back to the Manhood Hour here on America First.
Thank you for having me.
It's good to see you again.
All right, you are the perfect guest.
I shared with you who we launched this show with.
We had Jack Carr, the former SEAL.
We had a former colleague of yours, a founding member of Delta Force, Lieutenant General Jerry Boykin, with us for a whole hour as well.
You spoke very highly of him before we started the show.
Let me ask you the question I've asked all of our guests.
When you look at the state of masculinity, of manhood, of courage from the male side of our civilization, Is it imperiled?
Is it in danger today in the West, in America?
Well, absolutely.
First of all, I'm blessed because both my sons have grown up the way they were taught, just like my dad taught me.
But absolutely, we have a shrinking backbone.
And for us, being who we are, an American power is something we should not be ashamed of.
You know, every culture has its ethos.
We cannot forget that ours is out of the cowboy.
Yes, yes, absolutely.
It's so seminal to the ethos of our culture, the rugged individual, the cowboy, the pioneer who went out west, who built America amongst great hardship.
Rick, for those who didn't catch our earlier discussion about your career, about national security, would you just give them a thumbnail sketch of what you did for the U.S.
government during the Cold War?
Yes, I came into the agency in 1981 to head the puncture program.
I was the first paramilitary officer for CIA in the Nicaraguan border.
I did that for three and a half years.
Slept in a jungle hammock five days a week.
From there I went to spy school.
I subsequently started the Bin Laden task force with Mike Sawyer, the famous Alec Station.
When 9-11 happened, I was Chief of Operations at the Counter-Terrorist Center at CIA.
And then a little bit about your family, where you hail from, where your family comes from.
I am Cuban-born, as is my wife, and I came in this country in 1962 by myself to a patholic orphanage in Pueblo, Colorado.
And I've been trying to pay back that debt of honor to this country since.
Right, let's go to the topic of where this threat comes from, Mr. Prado.
There are so many things we could discuss.
There's the source of the assault against masculinity.
We could talk about assaults on faith.
On the church, the role of the media, the role of Hollywood, where do you think, to use a military term, the center of gravity, where is the biggest assault coming from that is coming up with phrases like toxic masculinity?
What's the biggest threat?
That's a very complicated question, because as you said, there's so many different things inputting into the equation.
I think primarily the biggest problem that we have, it starts at the home.
I don't think that children are being guided by full families, families that have something to teach or be willing to teach.
I was blessed with the fact that my dad molded me from age seven to be who I became.
So I believe that it starts at the home.
It expands into our school system.
It goes on to Hollywood, which is That is so far left and so far liberal and so far out of reality that you can't measure.
But the problem is, Hollywood is also how most Americans learn.
Most Americans do not read.
Most Americans watch the boob tube.
And it's always, every single program has to have some castration process through U.S.
masculinity.
So well put.
I'm just making some notes.
It's funny you say that about the boob tube and most Americans not reading.
Wherever I go to give a lecture, it doesn't matter what the topic is, as soon as somebody asks me for some career advice, if a young professional who's interested in either national security or the media or anything else asks for advice, I tell them the same thing.
I don't care whether you want to be a brain surgeon, a radio host, a strategist to the president.
I don't care what you want to be.
put this thing down the stinking phone down for at least an hour a day and read a book preferably by somebody who's been dead for a long time preferably a few centuries and you will do well in your career did you see because you know after After you worked in government service, you also worked on national security issues in the private sector.
When I was in the DoD, I saw what we today call wokeness pretty early on.
I served in the DoD 2008 onwards.
I was teaching irregular warfare and counter-terrorism.
And I saw above the rank of 05 and 06, especially when people started to get one star and above, People starting to make political statements, people starting to be infected by groupthink.
Did you see any of that in your career?
You know, I was blessed with the fact that I dealt with a different kind of, a different part of the DoD.
My last gig that was of some time was ended about two years ago on my own dime, but I did for about seven years.
I taught at Fort Bragg at the Advanced Special Operations and Techniques course, and that The participants of that are all our software, Navy SEALs, Air Force Pararescue, Green Berets, and so on.
So I always enjoyed that because it was a matter of dealing with people that were atypical from what I see as civilians.
So in my personal career, both in the agency, I was still at a time when we had real leadership, you know, doing clearance, these big, bigger than life kind of individuals, and post-career working in the private sector, I focus primarily on working with our soft components, and it is a completely different culture.
So does it exist, and have I seen it in the media?
Absolutely.
But personally, I was blessed with that ability to keep a fresh look into the fact that the United States will never have a shortage of warriors.
We have a shortage of leadership.
Wow, that's a great, great way of putting it.
No shortage of warriors, but a shortage of leadership.

I'm James Ackerman, the President and CEO of Prison Fellowship.
On behalf of our entire staff, and more importantly, the prisoners' families you bless, I want to personally thank you for your donation to our Salem Radio Network Angel Tree Campaign.
Thanks for opening your heart and your wallet this Christmas season.
So, how did it get to be December already?
I'm sorry, when did that happen?
We are just weeks away from Christmas.
And I have a question to ask you.
When you hear the word Christmas, when you hear the songs on the radio, you smell, you know, whatever it is, the pine tree, the ferns, the scent of pine, does it warm your heart?
Is Christmas something you associate with good memories?
If it is, could you put yourself for just a minute in the shoes of one of the young children in America, there are one and a half million of them, who have a mother or father in prison right now.
What are they thinking?
You know, a six-year-old girl, where's daddy?
Did I do something wrong?
Why is mommy in prison?
Am I ever going to see her again?
Is it my fault?
The Prison Fellowship Program is helping those children.
70% of them will end up in prison as well and we want to break that cycle.
Last year you helped to get Christmas gifts to more than 236,000 of these children in all 50 states.
I want to break that record.
I want to make it a third of a million.
Will you help me?
A donation of just $25 gets one of these children a gift chosen by their incarcerated parent, a message of love from that parent that they're not forgotten, and a children's Bible.
It's one of the most blessed things you can do right now.
A donation, if you can afford it, of $125 is five children who will feel a little bit more love this Christmas.
Will you make a difference?
Please go to my website right now, sebgawker.com, and click on the angel tree banner at the top and make a donation in any amount.
Or, if you prefer, you can call them on 888-206-2794.
Give as much as you can.
Make a difference for these children who've done nothing wrong.
Please help them today.
That's Seb Gawker, S-E-B-G-O-R-K-A, sebgawker.com, the angel tree banner at the top, or call 888-206-2794.
All right, Rick.
So, this is where it starts to get really fun.
We've done the diagnosis.
Things are in trouble.
Masculinity, manhood is under assault from all different vectors, all different battlefronts.
What is your definition of being a true man?
We had, you know, General Boykin, who's also a pastor.
He just recited his book, you know, the five things that make a man.
He knew it by memory.
For you as an operator, as a warrior, as a warrior who's trained other warriors, as a parent, give us some of the things that for you are non-negotiable when it comes to being a man.
Well, first and foremost, integrity.
I mean, the old integrity is what you do when nobody is looking.
And especially in the fields that you're referring to, that integrity goes not only to God and country, but to the guy standing to your left or to your right.
So that, I think, reinforces the folks that I worked with for so many years into what manhood is.
It's the difference between having a manager or being a manager or being a leader.
A leader leads by example, doesn't ask his folks to do anything that they haven't done themselves, and you have to take care of your people.
They get the credit, you take the blame.
That's leadership.
Yeah.
So I think that that's one of the most sacrosanct things that we have is integrity and leadership is something that we lack, especially in government.
No, absolutely.
But that can apply to women as well.
So let's talk about male attributes.
Let's talk about things that are uniquely masculine.
In addition to, you know, being the leader who's last in line at the chow hall, who's first up in the morning, the person who does the right thing when nobody's looking, in addition to leadership and integrity, what else makes a man for you?
Well, first of all, it's got to be your father.
You know, if you don't have a father in the family that is teaching you by, not by what he says, but by what he does, what a man is supposed to act like, you're starting a very, very, very soft soil.
So for me, the integrity of the family, especially having parent fathers around, it's huge.
But you know, it goes on from there to school teachers, and it goes from there to sports, It goes there to the service.
You know, I was in Cuba.
When I left Cuba, my father told me, this is how a man acts.
And I promise you, I will see you.
Well, you know, that was my security blanket for the almost a year that I was separated from my parents in an orphanage.
How old were you again when you set out on your own and your father looked at you in the eyes and said that to you?
How old were you, Rick?
I was 10, I turned 11 in the orphanage.
And you know what?
Not once did I cry.
Not because I was tough, but because my dad had programmed me and had assured me that I was gonna be okay and his word was my world.
So you must have been, what was it, part of the, what was it, the Peter Pan aid system?
That is correct.
Through the Catholic Church, the Peter Pan program took out, I think it was 40-some thousand Cuban kids whose parents could not leave.
I was one of those, and I ended up in a Catholic orphanage in Pueblo, Colorado.
And eventually you saw your father again?
Yes, sir.
Nine months later.
Incredible.
I can just imagine what it was like to have that moment seared on your cerebellum at the age of 10 when you're getting on that boat, you're getting on that plane, and he says, I will see you again, but remember who you are.
Incredible.
That's why you've got to read the book, Black Ops, by our friend, former senior CIA operations officer, Rick Prado.
You can go to his website as well.
That's R-I-C-P-R-A-D-O.
All right, so we've started on this already a little bit but I need to drill down a little bit more because everybody gives us very different answers and they're all fascinating.
So will you enumerate for us Rick who have been the greatest influences on you growing up or even as an adult when it came to your understanding of what a man is?
So you know Ideally, it should be your father.
Your father should transmit that to you.
But we've had all kinds of fascinating answers.
Jack Carr, the famous author, former SEAL, said it was the fictional characters he read about in adventure stories, whether it's Tom Clancy or anybody else.
We've had football coaches.
We've had teachers.
So through your storied career, can you identify?
You don't have to use names if you don't want to, but if you want to, if you want to, you know, recognize them, that's fine.
Who had an influence on Rick Prado's understanding of masculinity, responsibility, and manhood?
Early on, of course, it was my father and my maternal grandfather.
In the Air Force pararescue, which is what I joined to try to go to Vietnam, I met a mentor who to this day is one of my best friends.
His name is Chief Master Sergeant Wayne Fisk.
Legendary, you can Google him.
Fortourist, Mayaguez, everything else.
So he was huge in my molding because he was the head of training for Paral Rescue.
And like I said, to this day, we remain friends.
My first boss in the agency was a legendary guy by the name of Ray, Colonel Ray, who jumped into Corregidor when he was 17 or 18 years old.
And it was our man in the Laos program for the agency, and he was my boss in the Contra program.
Dewey Claridge, who's the guy who's a genius, legend, a genius at operations, created the Counter-Terrorist Center.
That was his idea.
That was his doing.
He was the first chief of that.
And going through, you know, a little later, guys like Gopher Black, who was my boss and director of CTC, When I was chief of ops at the center, Jose Rodriguez.
These are people that although we're now getting closer to our same age, it feeds up each other.
And I think you and I have a very mutual, a very good mutual friend, Steve Bailey.
Well, you know, Steve and I get together and we both benefit by our convictions and it just reinforces.
So who you surround yourself with and who you are blessed to have in your path This was really going to forge that metal as you go through.
Yeah, Steve hosted me and some complete newbies at his facility.
This is the guy who used to run Buds for the Seals.
I'm 52.
I thought I knew how to shoot a gun.
This man, in just an hour, he taught me stuff that was, well, I need to go back there to hang out with Steve a little bit longer.
So whoever it is, whether it's Dewey Claridge, Colonel Ray, Chief Master Sergeant Fisk, is there something
among those individuals that oh that that person taught me this or is there an instance is there something that oh my gosh i understand this issue this characteristics of manhood because of what he did on that day does something stick in your mind yes and like i mentioned a little earlier i think that it's what's important is what you see the person acting yeah but not what they say um well sometimes we say things we don't mean or whatever but uh
Like, you know, watching individuals like Ray Doty and Master Chief, you know, Bailey, and all these other friends of mine, it is specifically, I would say when I see them doing something that defies what most people would do, going into harm's way, taking care of somebody that needs taking care of, taking those risks, Being willing to put it on the line.
Standing up for the truth.
If you screw up, you own it.
I think that's one of the biggest things that I learned early on.
As long as you own it, you're fixable.
If you tap dance, me as a leader, if you tap dance with me after a screw up, you're done.
So I think that there's just so many examples of people acting and showing me and demonstrating what manhood and what leadership is all about.
That first thing that you said there, you know, doing the unexpected, you know, go that extra mile, I think that comes down to being a servant, doesn't it?
I mean, you know, helping the other, helping the vulnerable, you know, it's that concept of service that is so lacking today.
But you know, that should be the number one manly trait.
Yeah.
Because it takes a lot of courage to stand up to, you know, danger, to stand up to somebody who's, you know, abusing their parameters.
It takes courage.
And I think that that is a basic tenet of being a man, is being able to go that extra mile when the average individual would not.
That separates, you know, the man from the not-so-manly.
It does indeed.
We're talking to Rick Prado.
The book is Black Ops.
The website is rickprado.com.
That's r-i-c-p-r-a-d-o.com.
If you had to make a list right now of... So, if you had to address, if you were asked, Rick Prado, we have a...
War on masculinity.
It's bad to be a man.
Toxic masculinity.
How do we fix it?
What is it the next generation has to learn?
What do we have to communicate to the young boys today?
Give us some of the things that we must instill in the, you know, go back to Rick Prado, who's 10 years old.
What do we need to tell young boys today in America about being a man?
Well, first of all, accept and be proud of being a man.
I think that part of the castration process has been telling the kids that, you know, you could be other sexualities and at the age of 10.
So I think that being a man and having people around you who are good road models and examples.
I think that early on having courage, whether it comes through sports or through other activities or standing up to a bully in school, All the things that you cannot even do anymore.
I mean, when I was a kid growing up, if you didn't stand up to the bullies, your mommy or daddy or the teachers weren't going to come to your rescue.
So, you know, that opportunity to be in some kind of a dire strait, whether it's through sport or anything else, it will help tremendously to get people focused on what manhood should be.
The protector aspect, which you mentioned earlier, for me, a man has to be innately a protector.
Because when you are a protector, that is your family, that is your peers, that is your neighbor, that is that helpless woman being raped down the street, or that police officer under assault all by himself.
A lot of people ask me, why do I carry?
You know, I conceal carry.
Well, because first, I don't like to lose.
But second, if I see a man, a woman or a child in harm's way, or one of our law enforcement officers, I have to act.
I could not live with myself if I let that crime go unpunished.
When you look at the last two years, you look at the effects of COVID, you look at people voluntarily shutting down their businesses because they were told to do so.
It looks as if the pandemic we have, Rick, isn't COVID.
The pandemic is a lack of courage.
Absolutely.
Absolutely.
And again, these are the kind of things that, in the operational field, as a CIA operations officer, I wish I could be doing this to the Soviets and doing this to the Chinese and to the Iranians.
You mean instilling that level of cowardice?
Say again, I'm sorry.
Explain what you mean that you'd like to be doing to them.
Just unpack that.
Oh, yeah.
I mean, the undermining of their society.
Yeah.
You know, the fact that, you know, we would spend millions of dollars if we could and should To undermine the structure in Russia, our enemies at large.
We're almost helping them.
I'm not saying that there isn't an operational hand from our enemies.
Absolutely.
I guarantee you from drugs across the border to this demoralization, demasculation of America is part of a Russian and Chinese Well, I mean, you have a unique perspective, having fought the Cold War and then after 9-11.
What is your sense of how these nations look at America today?
Because during the Cold War, and I think for the four years of the Trump administration, we were feared, we were admired.
People in captive nations behind the Iron Curtain wanted to be free, wanted to come here.
That's why they listen to Radio Free Europe.
That's like why people like yourself as young boys were packed off to come to hear from communist nations.
Do you have a sense how our adversaries and our enemies look at America today?
An America where we are told being a man is a bad thing?
Well, absolutely.
You got to understand our enemies are predators.
If we look like food, they're going to try to eat me.
And that is at my micro level or at a presidential level.
I'll give you an example, which is pretty blatant.
Jimmy Carter.
Jimmy Carter was a very honest, moral man who was an absolute naive individual for when it came to the realities.
And when he sat across the table from our other government leaders, He came across his food.
What happened as soon as Jimmy Carter took power?
Afghanistan, when Russians invaded Afghanistan.
We lost, we gave away the Panama Canal.
They took our hostages in Iran.
What happened when Ronald Reagan stepped in and became president?
The very next day, they freed our hostages.
Why?
Because there was a new sheriff in town.
As you notice, the second invasion of From Russia, happened when the leadership in the United States changed to one that's perceived as being food.
We don't have the persona, the projection, to tell our guys across the table, look them in the eye and you go, if you mess with me, I'll bite you back.
And that takes a certain amount of backbone, and I don't see that, definitely in these liberal administrations.
It's such a simple point, but I think it explains everything, that there are those who, even if they're well-meaning, they have a naive look on the world.
They think that if you sit down at a table with the mullahs in Iran, or the Taliban in Afghanistan, or former KGB Colonel Putin, that they want to have some kind of mutual ground, that they are acting in good faith.
But you nailed it.
Your enemy is a predator.
And a predator will never be on your side.
They may act quietly at the moment because they're looking for that second where you show them the soft underbelly where they can go for the neck and then they've got you.
So yeah, naivete and also the concept of the enemy of the predator.
That's why he was a senior CIA operations officer.
We're talking to Rick Prado.
Go to rickprado.com and the book is Black Ops.
I'm Sebastian Gawker.
This is the Manhood Hour.
All right, I think I know the answer to the last question, given your heritage and how you ended up as an American citizen, but I will not put words in your mouth.
Rick Prado, when you look at the assault On manhood, incessantly, every single day.
Like you said, the castration process from the media, from the movies.
Are you a pessimist or an optimist?
Are we gonna beat these people?
Are we going to restore that rugged individualism of the cowboy ethos in America?
Because it's central to the survival of civilization.
Where do you stand on the issue?
Well, I have to be an optimist.
You can't go into fights if you don't think you're gonna win them.
And I do think that the one thing we have going for us is that the silent majority, which is the people that are too busy working to have time to protest or do whatever they are, these things that they're worried about, wakes up and realizes that their vote has to count.
They have to support those candidates that represent what we believe in.
And as long as we do that, hopefully in the next two years, I think we stand a very, very good chance of coming back.
Because like I said, the U.S.
does not have a shortage of warriors.
What we need is some good leadership up there that will get us focused in what we need to do and take the leadership.
And President Trump was an example.
President Reagan was an example.
President Bush in his first administration was a good example.
So, absolutely.
Because you live in the real world, because you don't have the luxury of naivete, is it your sense that the others in America who live in the real world, but who aren't politically engaged, that sooner or later they're just going to have enough with this insanity, with this castration process?
That's what I hope and pray.
I mean, you know, when I go with Steve to Huntington, Kansas, you know, everybody that you see at the grocery store, at the restaurants, They're all polite.
They're all centered.
They're all hardworking individuals.
And that is, I think that that is the real majority in the United States.
It's not the squeaky wheel.
For God's sake, I mean, as with the president administration, we are catering to a section of our society that's 0.001% of the average population.
They're just very, very noisy.
That's not what we're supposed to be.
Yeah, they're just very, very noisy, right Rick?
Exactly.
The squeaky wheel.
The squeaky wheel.
The squeaky wheel that gets the oil or gets the billions.
That went far too quickly.
I know it.
I expected it would.
