���� ���� ���� Thank you for joining us on America First with today's very special guest host, Cleveland's own Bob France. -
Dr. G, it is an honor to be back hosting America First once again with the phenomenal America First audience that you have built into what is an amazing, amazing nationally syndicated radio show.
Thank you for trusting me with the show for this Friday, the very last live broadcast that I will do and that of America First will do in the calendar year 2022.
And all I can say to you is thank the good Lord above.
Holy cow, I cannot wait to slam the door on this horrible, terrible, no good, very bad year that our country has had to endure because of the Biden administration, because of unchecked Democrat power, because of unchecked wokeism at the corporate level, at the educational level, at the personal level, at the community level, at the cultural level.
The things we have had to endure in 2022 would be enough to cripple most nations.
It would be enough to cripple a movement, a conservative movement, that just could not possibly take all of the flak and all of the struggles and all of the stress and all of the oppression, to borrow one of the left's words, that we've had to do.
It would cripple people who weren't as strong as those who believe in what we believe.
And that is that America is first, now, last, and always.
That is the way that it works.
So, thank you so much for being with us.
I do come to you live from the relieffactor.com studios here of AM 1420 The Answer in Cleveland.
That's my home base.
My home base is AM 1420 WHK.
A little plug.
My show airs from 9 to noon Eastern every day, right after Hugh Hewitt and right before Dennis Prager.
And if you are ever interested in listening to what I do on a regular basis, from Monday through Friday from 9 to noon, you can find me at WHKRadio.com.
WHKRadio.com.
But for today, I'm so glad to speak to Seb's tremendous audience, and we have a lot to talk about today.
I was gonna, well, not was gonna.
Am going to spend a lot of time today talking about the calendar year that just is just about to flip over because I meant what I said.
It's been just one of the worst years of our lives.
I've said this to my audience for the last four days.
I think 2022 might be the worst year of my lifetime.
And what I mean by that is overall, in total, I'm talking about from top to bottom, obviously the year 2001 was horrific for the events of September 11th, 2001.
You understand?
If you're old enough and you were around in 1941, you can talk about Pearl Harbor, and you can talk about even maybe a couple of the other years in the Great War.
Maybe in 1942, 3, 4, or 5, you could talk about the struggles and the problems.
And when I say our lifetimes, There's probably people who are 90 listening right now, and there's people who are 20 listening right now, and I'm right in the middle of that.
We all have different lifespans, obviously, but for me, I look back, and from top to bottom, and what our country and what our leaders, what our decision makers have done to us, not for us, I think I can make a compelling case that when we slam the not for us, I think I can make a compelling case that when we slam the door in this We get into 2023, and we say, thank you, Lord, for an opportunity to right this ship.
Thank you, Lord, for an opportunity to undo the damage that was done.
And I still plan to talk about that.
I'm going to review 2022 in about an hour at the top of the second hour of this broadcast with my good friend, a member of the United States, the longest-serving member of the United States Commission on Civil Rights, Peter Kersenow, will join me.
He's another Cleveland guy, but he spends half his time in Washington, D.C.
serving on the Civil Rights Commission and fighting the left that dominates that commission.
In trying to establish, you know, literally civil rights and fair rights for all and to protect your constitutional rights and mine.
So Peter will join us and kind of look back at what happened in 2022 and maybe a forward look at 2023 and in the hopes that we can find some positive things to do.
So I'm still going to do that and I welcome your phone calls on this subject.
You tell me.
Whether or not I'm overstating 2022's negative traits and characteristics.
We'll of course take your phone calls at 833-33-GORKA.
83333 Gorka, 833334-6752.
833-334-6752.
I want to hear from you on this.
However, the breaking news story of the afternoon is very welcome news, and we do need to pay a little bit of attention to this as well.
What has happened is that a suspect has been arrested in the Grizzly, Idaho student murders from back in early November.
It's been about six weeks.
And I've got to tell you, and I know you've probably thought about this and heard about this and talked about this already with Dr. G and others, but for a while there it was really starting to feel like this was Keystone Cop type stuff that was going on.
The police didn't seem to have the first clue about a grisly, you know, quadruple slaying.
You had a couple of other students in that Moscow, Idaho home who slept through the murder of four other people who then woke up and saw one person laying there and assumed that they were passed out drunk.
And didn't see blood, and called some other friends to come over, and they didn't end up calling 9-1-1 until about noon the following, you know, day.
And then we find out that there are four gruesomely butchered bodies of students there, and it just seemed like week one, we got nothing.
Week two, we got nothing.
We got into December, we still got nothing.
The reports out of Idaho were limited at best.
And talking about concerns about the crime scene being contaminated and because of the other kids who came over, the other students who came over when the, when the residents who survived that and didn't even know that it had happened, called them to come over.
So there were just so many things.
Then suddenly they got a lead.
Suddenly they started about two weeks ago talking about where they're searching for a white Elantra and maybe that is going to have something to do with this.
They got some video of a couple of the girls who were the victims in this thing, where they were the night before.
They were out having a good time.
A couple of them were at a party.
A couple of them then left their place of partying and stopped at a food truck and then made their way home.
1.45, 1.50 in the morning and on down the line.
So we started to get some details, but there were no closer, at least, there were no closer that we knew of to finding out who did this.
And the nation, for six weeks-ish, We've been on the edge of our seat going, what's going on?
Are the Keystone cops running things over there?
Isn't the FBI involved by now?
Shouldn't the FBI have a lead here, even if the local cops can't?
I mean, goodness gracious.
And I remember talking about it on my own program and talking about it just with folks in our daily lives.
I talked to people and it's two things.
Either they are that incompetent and they don't know how to solve this and they don't have enough leads or they know exactly what they're doing but they don't want the killer to know that they're onto them and that they have leads.
They want to make them comfortable.
They want to make them feel like, man, they have no idea so that he'll get a little sloppy and perhaps do something that can lead them to him.
So maybe they were being coy.
And as of right now, it looks like maybe they were being coy.
Maybe they had information for quite some time now and they just didn't want to publish it or broadcast it because, like I said, maybe it's the best way to keep the killer off his toes, if you will, instead of being on alert.
So we'll find out.
They're going to have a press conference in about 45 minutes in Idaho to talk about this.
Obviously the suspect, his name is Christopher Koberger.
He's a 28-year-old PhD student at the Department of Criminal Justice.
How about that?
He's a criminal justice major and criminology major, which means he probably knows a little bit about You know, what the investigators and the police officers and the detectives would do, maybe, which might have been part of the reason he was able to evade capture and apprehension and so forth for six solid weeks.
But he is a student there at Washington State in Pullman, Washington, which is apparently 15 minutes.
from the house, the campus owned but off campus house at the University of Idaho, where these kids were were so savagely killed.
So Coburg was arrested in Scranton, Pennsylvania at about one thirty a.m. early this morning.
So Thursday night into Friday morning by local police there.
And apparently that's where he's currently being held.
There will be an extradition hearing to get him from Pennsylvania to Idaho coming up on Tuesday, I think they were talking about now.
So investigators are working very, very hard now to piece this whole thing together.
And all I can say is, for the sake of the victims and their families, thank God that there is at least now a suspect that has been named and if they can put this case together and put this whole thing to bed and bring some sort of closure, that is obviously what we are hoping for.
My name is Bob France.
I am live in Cleveland, Ohio, sitting in for Dr. G on America First.
Thank you so much for being with us.
this.
We'll be right back.
Thank you.
I I'm Seb Gawker.
Now let's get back to the show with Bob France.
Thank you, Dr. G. It's good to be here.
Certainly appreciate the opportunity to, again, spread the message of America First.
That is what it is all about.
Live in the ReliefFactor.com studios, I'm in Cleveland, Ohio, AM 1420, The Answer.
So I welcome you.
I really want to talk about 2022.
And again, I've got a guest coming up who's going to give us his spin on it at the top of the next hour, Peter Kersenow.
You probably have seen him on Tucker.
You probably have seen him on some of the other Fox channels.
He's been a guest on a lot of the Salem programs.
He's a weekly guest on my program in Cleveland, and we're going to talk to him about 2022 and what's coming up.
But I want to hear from you.
Give me your impressions of the calendar year 2022 as it closes.
Is this not the worst year that you have experienced?
Big picture.
Now, I try to clarify this too with my local friends.
When I've talked about this here in Cleveland, we all have personal tragedies in our life.
The worst year of my life was the year that my wife passed away, or the year that my sister got cancer, or the year that my dog died, or the year that I lost my job.
You understand?
Those are personal things we all have our own.
Don't get me wrong.
This is not saying what we are doing right now is worse.
We're talking about for all of us collectively.
Bigger picture here.
What has been done to us.
What has been done by what I still will say is the worst and most corrupt administration in the history of America.
And yes, this means worse than the Obama administration was.
I think it's an extension of the Obama administration, if you want to be quite frank.
I believe that when Barack Obama pledged and promised to fundamentally transform America, that pledge was not eight years long.
It didn't just continue through his two terms in office.
They planned it for eight more with Hillary.
Only Donald Trump got in the way.
Only Donald Trump could have stopped it.
And did.
For four years, only before they found a way to take him out.
And now, the fundamental transformation continues with Joe Biden on the end of the radical, globalist, puppet strings.
I truly believe that this is all intentional.
It's part of that fundamental transformation.
As many people have said, If you meet a beautiful woman, and you think she's beautiful, and you think she's intelligent, and she's witty, and you have a good time being with her, and you say, sweetheart, will you marry me?
I want to be with you forever.
And by the way, once we're married, I want to fundamentally transform you into something different.
How do you think that would go?
You think you're going to get a yes to that proposal?
If you love something, you don't want to change it.
If you love a free market, capitalist, constitutional republic, you don't want to fundamentally transform it into a socialist, communist, Marxist dystopia.
Globalist dystopia.
You know what I mean?
This is what's happening.
This isn't an accident.
What Biden is doing right now is carrying out part of a long game.
And 2022, I think, was one of their most successful years ever at fundamentally transforming, by damaging, tearing apart, dividing this country.
You know as well as I do, America can never be conquered from without.
America will be conquered only from within if we let it.
And this is what 22 is geared toward.
Now, let me throw you a few of what I'm talking about, a few examples of what I'm talking about.
And then I welcome you at 833-33-GORKA.
Your impressions of this calendar year that we are about to kick in the A on the way out the door.
833-334-6752.
In the calendar year 2022, we have suffered from record, well, not record, but at least 40-plus-year high inflation rates that have hurt every single one of our wallets.
Yes.
Every single one of our ability to fill the grocery cart.
The same way we did a couple of years ago.
It has hurt our ability to fill our kids' closets and drawers with the clothes that they need.
It has hurt our ability to buy the parts that we need to maintain and repair our cars.
It has hurt our ability to do everything when everything costs more.
We're talking not just a couple of percentage points.
You know, when Donald Trump was last in office, the inflation rate was under 2%.
It was around 1.5%.
Joe Biden comes into office and it rises to 9.2%.
And then the next month it's 8.5% and they're bragging about how they're lowering inflation.
Record high inflation has hurt us all.
Unlike any, again, at least in my lifetime, I was a child in 78-79 when Jimmy Carter was wrecking the country, and inflation and gas lines and other things happened.
So I suppose there might be an argument there, but for now I'm going with this one.
The supply chain disruption.
My friends, never before in American history Have American moms not been able to feed their babies because we couldn't get baby formula into the country and onto shelves?
This is the United States of America, and you know what we had to do under Biden's leadership?
We had to beg third world countries To put a few cans of Enfamil and other baby formula on pallets and ship them over to us so we could feed our babies.
The United States of America!
Which has been the world's benefactor, really, since its inception!
We are the ones who drop supplies to other impoverished nations, and now we're going hand-in-hand, asking for the ability to feed our infants to these other countries.
This has never happened before.
And the Biden administration had no answers whatsoever for it.
Inflation?
Eh, it's the Putin price hike.
The supply chain?
Eh, it's not our problem.
It's COVID is affecting things around the globe.
It's COVID's fault.
I'm not mistaken, I remember that the President of the United States right now, Joe Biden, ran by telling us he was going to defeat COVID.
Two years in, here we sit, dealing with things that nobody has ever, ever had to deal with before, feeding our babies.
As long as we're on the subject of costs, as I talk about 2022, and my deep-rooted desire to kick it in its rear end on its way out, And welcome 2023 with open arms, even though we might still have some of the same problems, at least at the outset.
It's not just 40-year high, not 50-year high, not 60-year high, but all-time record high energy prices.
All-time record high gasoline prices.
Over $5 a gallon national average.
At the worst of the time in June.
Over $5 a gallon.
The majority of the year, over $4 a gallon.
Still, $3.5 a gallon.
Still $3.50 a gallon.
When Joe Biden took over, President Trump's energy policies, which led us to becoming energy independent and net exporters of energy for the first time in American history, now.
Net exporters.
It was $2.39 a gallon.
Joe Biden jacked that up because he instantaneously came in and said, war is what we're declaring on fossil fuels.
War on the oil industry.
War on the coal industry.
War on the natural gas industry.
War on pipelines.
War on fracking.
War on offshore drilling.
War on all of it.
Because his Green New Deal gangrene members demanded it.
So what was it costing us to take our kids to school?
What was it costing us to drive and commute to and from work?
Much less recreational driving on vacation?
Forget it!
At five bucks a gallon plus?
I'm just scratching the surface, friends.
I'm just scratching the surface of what made 2022 the worst year ever.
I've got more, but I want to hear from you, too, as we continue.
I'm Bob France in for Dr. G on America First.
Thank you.
I'm Seb Gorka.
Now let's get back to the show with Bob France.
Yeah, let us do exactly that.
33 minutes past the hour leaves us.
27 minutes before the hour.
Thanks for being with us.
On America First, I'm live in Cleveland, Ohio, painfreerelieffactor.com, studios of AM 1420, The Answer.
Bob France in.
What do you say we get some phone calls going here as we talk about 2022?
I could literally fill the three-hour Gorka program today.
With all of the reasons why 2022, and by the way, understand this is taken collectively.
I'm not suggesting that this was the worst year on record because of any one of the individual things that I've started out with, and I've only gone in two deep, three deep.
But when you add them all on top of one another, That's what I'm like.
We haven't got a break.
We're looking for a break.
We're looking for something positive in 2022.
And the positives, to my recollection, are very, very few and far between.
And even some of the positives came equipped with their own little set of negatives.
For example, Roe vs. Wade being overturned in the Dobbs decision at the Supreme Court level was a tremendous victory for pro-life.
But it came with a leak of that draft opinion months before that led to attempted assassinations of Supreme Court justices, doxing of Supreme Court justices, attacks on prenatal clinics.
That's right, attacks on clinics devoted to helping women in their pregnancies.
With spray paint saying, if our bodies aren't safe, then neither are you, or something of that nature.
All of this threats to pregnancy centers.
I mean, even the positives came with boatloads of negatives in 2022.
This is one of those kind of things.
And that's why I'm so glad that we are now in the last, this is the last live broadcast I'll do in the year 2022.
It's the last America First of 2022.
And when you hear Seb next week, it's going to be hopefully the beginning of a very, very new period.
Once we have a GOP majority, slim as it might be in the house, we might start to turn the page and have something more positive to look for.
in 2023 i welcome you at 833-33-GORCA that's 833-334-6752 leonardo has been waiting patiently since the show began in new jersey leonardo welcome to america first bob france sitting in fire away sir and god bless you and god bless uh your loved ones and sebastian and his loved ones i I hope he's had a Merry Christmas and the new year has to be better.
Hopefully it's not going to be so painful with that omnibus bill being passed, economically strapping people, strapping the conservatives.
I, you know, you just have all of these rhinos that 18 of them that sold out and they're all getting their kickbacks.
But this is the worst year Because I agree with you a thousand percent.
This is either... I'm an old man.
I remember the three assassinations clearly in the 1960s.
I remember what Obama has done to our country.
I remember 9-11 very clearly.
But this is a breaking point where our republic is either going to stand or fall.
It's either going to go globalist, communist, or the people that are the tough people that are Americans that my father fought in the Second World War with General Patton.
We're either going to go with freedom, Americanism.
You never hear that word.
You hear socialism, communism.
You never hear Americanism anymore, right?
So hopefully, you know, something's going to break and people are going to wise up.
That whole thing you were just talking about, about the whole abortion issue, you see how they manipulated that.
All it was, I'm a constitutional scholar, I have A couple of law degrees in a couple of different states.
And the point is, it was always a state issue, not a federal issue, right?
If it's not in the original federal constitution 200 and some odd years ago, then it's state by state.
That's right.
All of the ladies could kill their kids in New Jersey where I live, and in New York they could crush the baby's head, nothing changed.
But look how they took that one issue, and that's why we had, you know, a mediocre election just now.
Because of this incredible propaganda, and, you know, all I could say... Well, that was one of the reasons.
That was one of the reasons.
Leonardo, I'm going to jump in here, and I want to say thank you for the call, and Happy New Year to you and your family as well.
And blessings to you.
I want to get a few other people in here.
And that was one of the reasons why the midterms, and that is on my list of reasons why 2022 is one of the worst years in memory, and maybe the worst year of my lifetime, because we had a chance at the end of the year to flip the script, if you will, to let everything that happened bad to us from January through the beginning of November have that rectified with the red tsunami, and we didn't get it.
Now, you said one of the reasons why was abortion.
President Trump made a point about that.
In an interview with Breitbart earlier this month that I thought was very, very important, and I'm going to talk about that as we continue as well.
Like I said, Roe vs. Wade on balance, huge benefit for pro-life, for America First, but we have to think very closely about how we handle the abortion issue going forward from a political standpoint.
We'll talk more about that as we continue.
Bob Franson for Dr. G on America First.
The End
The End The
End I'm Seb Gorka.
Now let's get back to the show with Bob Franz.
I appreciate that, Dr. G. I jumped the gun on you.
I didn't mean to step on you there.
Thank you.
It's 43 minutes past the hour, 17 minutes before the top of the hour.
Today is the final day of Seb's campaign to help the nonprofit Prison Fellowship break the cycle of crime that has impacted so many families across America.
Statistics show that a huge percentage of children with a mom or dad in prison will themselves end up behind bars someday.
But through outreach like Prison Fellowship's Angel Tree Camp, you can help these at-risk kids experience the fresh air, enjoy time with other kids in similar circumstances, and learn the love of Christ as they get to be just kids.
Thanks to gifts from people like you at SebGorka.com, listen to the voices of Angel Tree campers themselves telling you just how much fun they have with all the camp activities.
Yeah, we go fishing, then we go to archery.
We used to go BB gun aiming.
We go to the animal, it's a little mini zoo that you get to pet chickens and goats.
First day we went swimming and we had lunch, breakfast, and then dinner.
Okay, how does that not just touch your hearts?
Seriously, when you hear kids like that, you can hear the excitement in their voices.
They just get to be a part of this.
And this is just for them to get three meals each day at this camp.
Now that is a far cry from being trapped in a hot city or in a bad neighborhood surrounded by gangs and drugs all the time.
And by helping today at subgorka.com.
And clicking on the Prison Fellowship banner, you'll also score a year-end tax deduction for your gift in any amount.
So please, go to sebgorka.com, click on the Prison Fellowship banner to make sure your tax-deductible year-end gift is received.
The deadline is December 31st.
That's Saturday night, tomorrow night, so please do this today.
So, continuing, Bob France, in for Dr. G. I'm live in Cleveland, Ohio.
I'll get back to the phones in a minute.
I want to follow up on what the last caller talked about when we talked about the abortion issue and the impact that I think it still plays.
President Trump did an interview with Breitbart earlier this month, a couple weeks ago.
I don't have the exact date on it, but I read it two days ago.
And he talked about how one of the big mistakes that the Republicans overall made in the run-up to the midterms was in the aftermath of the Dobbs decision and Roe being overturned, and of course the right being given to the states now to decide whether they have restrictions on abortion or not.
And by the way, some states didn't change one lick.
Some of them did.
It's up to the people and their personal representatives at the state level, at the state legislature level, to decide those things now, which is how it ought to be.
That's what the caller was talking about.
President Trump said that one of the big problems was is that Republicans went for the extreme.
Now, going from one extreme to another is a very, very difficult ask for the people as a whole, as a collective voting bloc or voting society.
The left wants extremism when it comes to abortion, and that means abortion on demand without apology, without explanation at any time.
Do you remember?
I'm old enough to remember because one that long ago that people like Joe Biden were in the Senate saying abortion should be safe, legal and rare only in unique circumstances should not be used as a birth control substitute.
You know, the left used to say or the Democrats used to say safe, legal and rare.
And now it's not safe, but often, anytime we want to, not rare at all, for any reason whatsoever.
And that includes all the way up to the moment of birth, when a human being fully formed is eight inches away from air.
That eight inches is about the average length of the birth canal.
If the baby is on this side of the canal, we have to protect its life.
If it's on the other side of the canal, still in the womb, that's just called health care.
You're going to reach inside of that woman and kill that baby, puncture the back of its head and suck out its brain, which is exactly what partial birth abortion is, and that's what they want.
That's extremism.
Right?
That doesn't happen often, but that's what they want the ability to do.
Hell, they went worse than that in Virginia.
Do you remember?
This is one of the reasons why Glenn Youngkin won Virginia over McAuliffe.
Do you remember the interview that they did with the doctor who said that what should happen when a baby survives an abortion in Virginia, after the baby is born, they tried to kill it, couldn't.
And the baby's alive when they take it from the mother.
Out of the mother.
You remember what that doctor said?
And what McAuliffe agreed with?
That that child should be placed on a little metal tray while the doctor discusses with the mother what should be done with it.
Should we clear out its mouth and give it a chance to breathe air?
And give it life-saving medical care?
Or let it lay there and die?
Which one should we do?
They were post-birth abortion!
They actually considered that.
That's extremism.
So what President Trump was saying is that to go from that radical, leftist, extreme, pro-abortion mindset to no abortion under any circumstances, even in the horrific cases of rape and incest, which by the way, account for less than 1% of pregnancies, but even in the rare cases of rape and incest and the life of the mother, not the health of the mother, which is very, very different.
They say the health of the mother, that can of course then be extended to what?
Mental health.
Well, I'm in a mental place here where I just don't want to have this baby.
I can't do it or it's going to drive me out of my mind.
So because of my mental health, get this thing out of me.
Tear it apart and get it out of me.
No, no, no.
Life of the mother is a very different story.
You start talking about ectopic pregnancies and things of that nature.
So what President Trump is saying is that while we may morally oppose any abortion at all after conception, because life begins at conception, Politically, we might have to accept some things.
Don't let the perfect become the enemy of the good.
We might have to accept a 15-week type number, that any abortion after 15 weeks is going to be illegal or outlawed in the states, unless there is the rape, the incest, or the life of the mother exception.
We might have to bend just a little bit here.
And I did an interview yesterday with Dr. Everett Piper, who pointed something out that is very, very important.
He did the numbers.
In the United States, there is an average every year of over, I think it was 38,000 babies who are aborted after the 15-week number that many people have kind of pointed to.
It's right before the baby becomes pain-capable, the nervous system developed, and so on and so forth.
Would it be better to save every baby and say no abortions after conception?
Sure.
But can we say, let's save 38,000 babies lives and at least agree to that?
If we present a little bit of a bend, even though morally it's not what we want to do, politically, it might be how we win moderates.
It might be how we win votes.
It might be how we win elections.
And then we can work toward making things as perfect as we can get them.
So President Trump, I thought, was spot on on that.
I just wanted you to hear it in case you had not heard it.
Now you have, and now we go back to the phones after this timeout.
Bob France sitting in for Dr. Gorka on America first right back.
Thank you.
Now let's get back to the show with Bob France.
I keep forgetting Dr. G is going to reintroduce me there before every segment.
My apologies.
The year that was in 2022 is what we're talking about on America First.
Bob Franz sitting live in Cleveland, Ohio in the ReliefFactor.com studios.
Welcome you at 833-33-GORKA.
That's 833-334-6752.
We're going to go next to, how about Jeff in Los Angeles?
Hey Jeff, thanks for waiting.
You're on America First.
Go right ahead.
Hey, it was good to hear you talking about compromise on the abortion issue.
I mean, that's a whole lot better than storming the Capitol when you don't get your way.
So, that represents progress, but that's not why I called.
You know, the Republicans are out of touch with the majority of the American people on that issue on abortion.
They're out of touch with the majority of the American people on gay rights.
They're out of touch with the majority of the American people on gun control.
That's why they lost the midterms, because they're out of touch.
A lot of Republicans live in this Trump bubble.
Do you realize how many Americans own guns in this country?
You really think you're out of touch on guns?
You really think that the majority of the American people don't want the Second Amendment?
You don't really believe that, do you Jeff?
I didn't say they don't want the Second Amendment.
I said they want sensible... Well, you said we're out of touch on guns, and the conservative Republican base is absolutely 100% for no government regulations of their firearms.
No registrations, no limitation on magazines, or on semi-automatic, or AR-15s, or what you guys like to call assault rifles, which is not a real term.
How do you think we're out of touch?
And I understand that.
You're out of touch because you think the conservative base is, I know you guys throw around this term, is half the country.
It's not half the country.
It's a very small minority that want unfettered, totally untouched gun control.
That's not really why.
But once again, no, no, no, hold on, though.
But once again, you keep making statements that are statistically inaccurate.
Given the number of guns and the number of gun owners in this country, we are absolutely in touch with the majority, a very strong majority of Americans, when it comes to our Second Amendment rights and when it comes to protecting ourselves, particularly in the most dangerous I can explain it to you.
Gun ownership does not mean you don't want sensible gun laws.
rising by double-digit numbers thanks to left-wing prosecutors and left-wing judges.
The American people don't want to give up anything to do with their guns, and that's the majority, not a small amount.
I don't know where you're getting your numbers from, but you're going to have to re-research that.
What else you got?
I can explain it to you.
Gun ownership does not mean you don't want sensible gun laws.
Gun ownership and unfettered access to guns are not the same.
There are many sensible gun owners who want sensible gun laws.
But again, that's not why I call it.
I don't know any gun owners, and I know a lot of gun owners, who want the government to tell them what kind of gun they can have.
I don't know any of them who want the government to tell them they have to register them so the government knows where they are.
I don't know any gun owners that want the government to tell them that they are restricted to a certain number of rounds.
I don't know any gun owners.
Apparently you talk to different gun owners than I do, Jeff.
Jeff, I gotta go.
I'm out of time here for the segment, but I do appreciate your phone call.
As misguided as it might be, I welcome those kind of calls as well as the good ones.
We're back.
Hour number two coming up on America First.
Thank you.
Thank you for joining us on America First with today's very special guest host, Cleveland's own Bob France.
Dr. G, thank you once again for the opportunity to talk with your phenomenal America First audience.
It is a pleasure.
Five minutes past the hour.
Hour number two is underway.
Just two hours left in America First.
Two hours left in America First for the entire calendar year of 2022, which, as I said at the top of the last hour, is a very good thing.
When this year ends, we will all be better for it.
It has been one of the worst years on record for a variety of reasons.
And we're going to talk about those again here in just a moment.
The breaking news story of the day, however, continues to be the Idaho murder suspect has finally been found and has been at least charged, or will be charged, but is considered the prime suspect.
Brian Christopher Koberger, arrested in eastern Pennsylvania very, very early this morning, about one o'clock in the morning.
He's a PhD student in, get this, criminal justice and criminology.
At Washington State University in Pullman, which is apparently about 15 minutes from Moscow, Idaho, in the house where the four students were so savagely slaughtered.
So we're going to follow that very, very closely.
There's a press conference that should be going on very quickly, maybe even right now, and we will give you updates on it as the program goes on.
But for now, as we continue on America First, I want to introduce you to a voice you've probably heard before.
He's been a guest on Tucker Carlson many, many times on other Fox News programs.
I'm very fortunate to have him as a weekly guest on my program in Cleveland, Ohio, on WHK Radio.
He is the longest-serving commissioner in the United States Commission on Civil Rights, and that means ever.
And that's Peter Kersenow, who joins us now to break down 2022 and maybe look up at 2023 ahead through the windshield.
Peter, I almost said good morning out of habit to you.
Good afternoon.
How are you, Pete?
You know, I'm doing great considering we're living in Biden's America.
Very well said.
It is exactly that.
And I spent a good deal of my first hour today on Dr. Gorka's show talking about Biden's America and what it has wrought.
So let's do that.
Let's go there.
Before we maybe start looking at what might change in a limited fashion, I think with a slim majority in the House, with Republicans having subpoena power and chairmanship of the most important committees, we can talk a little bit about 2023 in a moment.
But Pete, as you look back, At a year of record high inflation and record high gas prices and supply chain shortages and drug overdoses, record high drug overdoses, record high border crossings by illegal immigrants, stores being closed with no workers, school battles with parents being shut out of what's stores being closed with no workers, school battles with parents being shut out of what's going on in I mean, we go on and on and on about what Biden's America really means.
But as you look back at it, tell me how you would how you would summarize 2022 in Biden's America.
Yeah, I would summarize it by decadence and decay.
All the things you mentioned are true.
We've got record immigration, illegal immigration.
You know, we've had 3.3 million people cross the border.
Put that in context, not in terms of what happened in the past.
Because in 2018, for example, there were 396,000 border crossers.
So we're talking about a 900 percent, not 9 percent, a 900 percent increase with all of the maladies that flow there from fentanyl, crime, etc.
But put in perspective, 3.3 million versus in 1939, when Germany invaded Poland, they did so with 1.5 million troops.
This is extraordinary what Biden's allowed to happen, and it's going to change the face of America.
It is burdening all of our systems, our infrastructure.
We're no longer a sovereign nation, and that's something.
That's something to be concerned about, because it will change the manner in which we perceive our own nation and, frankly, how we elevate the United States of America.
But, you know, beyond the immigration, you know, you mentioned inflation, the record crime... Hey, Pete, hold on one second.
Let's stay on immigration for a moment so I can ask you this.
What's the endgame here?
Why?
He won't go to the border.
He's never been to the border.
His border czar won't go to the border.
She went within 30 miles of it last year.
But she's not going down there to actually see what's happening at the border.
And yet they continue to allow this.
Then they go on to have press conferences between Alejandro Mayorkas of Homeland Security, Kamala, and Biden himself, saying, no, the border is not open.
The border is closed.
Yet we see the numbers you were just talking about.
So I ask you, they continue to lie, they continue to deny that it's happening, all with an eye toward what?
What's their endgame?
Two things.
Number one is, there's an electoral strategy here that may redound against them at some point because we're seeing more and more Hispanics voting for Republicans.
Their aim is to change the demographics of the United States.
They are actually transporting, either directly with Biden's midnight airplanes or through NGOs, many of these migrants to different places throughout the country to secure an electoral advantage.
But beyond that, the ideologues within the administration, and there are numerous, I know many of them.
Some of them were in high positions in the Obama administration.
Some have served on the Civil Rights Commission.
These are true, hard and fast, true believer leftists.
They want to change America.
They do not want to unite America.
I know many of the listeners to a show like Sebastian Gorka's can't even conceive of anyone like that.
I mean, they get leftists, but they can't really wrap their minds around the fact that so many of their fellow Americans actually hate this country and want to transform it.
But that is true.
It took me a long time to absorb it, 20-plus years on the Civil Rights Commission.
But I've seen it with my own eyes, and why anyone would want to change this country... I need to clarify something.
I need to clarify something for Dr. G's listeners who may or may not be terribly familiar with you.
What you just described is commonly known as the Great Replacement Theory.
And the Great Replacement Theory, we are told, is racist.
Would you please tell Dr. Gorka's audience, who don't know you, what race you are?
Yeah, I'm a racist black man.
Here's the problem.
Here's the problem that we've got.
Everything that the left doesn't like or would like to change is racist.
We've gotten so sick of this stuff.
I don't think it has as much saliency as it used to, but most everyday people don't want to be called that.
Most politicians shy away from even a suggestion that they might be.
So that caused them to allow the left to steamroll their agenda through, and this is where we are.
They really don't like the United States of America.
And they do think, many of them do think it's racist, but they use it mainly as a very effective weapon.
It's losing a little bit of its salience, but still very effective.
So that's the endgame.
Change the United States intrinsically, but also change it electorally for the benefit of Democrats.
Again, that may redound against them because many of the people who are coming across illegally after a period of time are also saying, wait a minute, we don't like the kind of country this is turning into.
And we saw a little bit of that.
The Republicans hadn't been so incompetent in the lead up to the 2020-22 midterms.
They should have had a giant red wave.
They can still capitalize off of that if they begin to get their wits about them in the upcoming elections.
Okay.
We're talking to Peter Kersnow, who is the longest-serving member of the United States Commission on Civil Rights and the history of that commission.
Peter, you talk about how the Democrats may be banking on something that they shouldn't, and that is Hispanics coming across, and then once given the opportunity to vote, voting for them.
And I agree with you.
We are seeing a very strong shift demographically in Hispanics leaning toward Republicans and conservative ideas and principles, because Hispanics, generally speaking, You know, believe in, you know, faith.
They're religious people.
They believe in family.
They believe in raising children together and so on and so forth.
So they're kind of leaning toward the conservative type of mindset, I guess, when they're voting.
But what the Democrats are counting on is saying, that'll change if we're the ones who give them the vote.
If we're the ones who give them pathways to citizenship, as they always talk about, and we're the ones who give them the right to vote, they won't vote for anybody but us.
Are they right?
No, they're not.
But there's a tension there.
You're right.
They're partially right.
And that's historically been the case.
Give people stuff, and they will vote for you.
And that's what they're trying to do.
And they're giving away a lot of stuff.
That's why we have a $1.4 billion abomination.
Right, exactly.
But the problem with that is, once people become Americans, I mean, in the short term, yeah, maybe they'll vote for you.
But once people, especially in the second generation, they start to become, you know, Like any law-abiding American, they don't like the idea of their tax dollars being given to people for no reason at all.
They like to have secure borders.
In other words, they become conservative.
Now, many Hispanics are culturally conservative, more so than your average everyday American.
So that's a real hurdle for Democrats to jump over.
But they're making a calculation that they can implode the system, number one, and or, for the short term, get more Hispanic votes to help them electorally.
And remember this, that if they do get a critical mass of additional voters, their belief is they can do radical things, change the very structure of the governing structure of the United States of America, and therefore cement a progressive majority forever and ever.
Peter Kirshenau is our guest.
So we're talking about, I mean, almost the entirety of this particular segment as we talk about 2022 is devoted to that border and to the invasion and the fact that we really are no longer a sovereign nation.
And we talk about the reason why, what Biden is trying to do fundamentally.
But there are a lot of other changes this country has undergone, Pete, that we're going to talk about in the next segment in 2022 that aren't as easily or easy to pinpoint.
For example, The high double-digit percentage points of increase in violent crime in big cities, urban centers, most of them blue-driven and led throughout this country.
Why?
How does that help anybody?
How does that help them?
I want to talk a little bit more about the schools, too.
About the fact that The schools continue to indoctrinate by way of divisive techniques such as CRT and gender theory as well.
So Peter, stay here.
We're going to continue right after this as we continue on America First with Peter Kirshenau.
We'll get some answers about what happened in 2022 and what might we change in 2023 to come.
Bob Brant's in for Dr. G. We'll be back on America First.

I'm Seb Gorka.
Now let's get back to the show with Bob France.
Yeah, let us do exactly that.
I am Bob France, live in the ReliefFactor.com studios of AM 1420, The Answer, in Cleveland, Ohio.
And I want you to know that our show sponsor, Car Firearms, wants you to know that the Auto Ordnance Custom Rally Cry 1911 is a new product for 2022 and can be ordered through any gun store nationwide.
Shipments begin in December, and well, December's almost over, so you can still get that order in.
We're talking with Peter Kershenow, a member of the United States Commission on Civil Rights.
We're talking about 2022.
Before we get into the rest of the issues of 2022 and maybe a little bit of peek at what you expect in 2023, Peter, for those who don't know, you are a workout fanatic, right?
You are very, very physically fit.
Can you give us a little brief rundown of what you do every day?
Well, I try to work out six days a week at least.
I run about anywhere from five to seven miles and then get into my weight workout, lower body one day, upper body the next day, deadlift, squats one day, benches, military press, rows and things of that nature the next.
And if I don't do that because I'm a sedentary lawyer, I sit on my butt for 12 hours a day, You know, I'm going to start getting sluggish, my brain's going to start working more slowly, so I think it's important to... But the point is, you manage to work out six days a week, six mornings before you even go into the office, and Pete, how old are you again?
69.
You're 69 years old, you benched 300 pounds, you deadlift 450 pounds, you run hill sprints, and remind everybody again, what race are you?
Oh, well, you know, I shouldn't be doing it, apparently, based on everything.
The last few days I've seen that it's racist for me to be exercising so much.
I want to know how you've overcome the oppression!
I'm a traitor to my race!
Yes!
How are you doing that?
According to Time Magazine in a huge article and a bunch of leftists spreading the belief now is that physical fitness and running and working out is a tool of white supremacy.
That black folks can't do that.
People of color can't do that.
You can't run because apparently you're black.
You can't work out.
This is something that is very specific to white America, and I want to know how you've managed to overcome the oppression as a 69-year-old black male.
What I do is, typically when I run, I wear a white hood, a peaked white hood, so that nobody knows what race I am, and they presume, of course, that I'm probably running after somebody to lynch.
Peter, I love you so much.
Briefly, more on 2022.
You mentioned the border issue number one.
I threw a few out there before the break, talking about what's going on in our schools.
Indoctrination is at an all-time level.
Grooming, quite frankly, grooming into alternative lifestyles through drag shows, through all kinds of ridiculous gender theory that is being pushed on kids.
Another huge problem, violent crime in America's cities rising due to a lot of things, understaffed policing.
And of course, left-wing DAs and judges, give me one or two other of your worst memories, if you will, of what we've experienced in 2022.
Yeah, the encroaching wokeness that's turned into weirdness that is really having an effect.
We're turning into a kind of latter-day Weimar Republic.
The decadence and the deterioration of our institutions.
Individuals, a lot of individuals in the United States are doing great.
They're rock-ribbed Americans.
But it seems as if our institutions across the board have been infected by this.
Wokeness is, I think, too light a term to use.
But there's a decay, a degeneration of our institutions.
Just witness what's going on with the FBI.
I think what we learned from the Twitter files and other things, those of us who have been watching closely saw this before Twitter revealed the extent of the corruption.
But it's not just limited to the FBI.
So many of our institutions we can't trust, because after they tell us a certain thing, we find out later That just the opposite is true, or they're trying to undermine certain aspects of American society and America itself, American people.
It's this type of societal decay.
I mentioned the Weimar Republic, and obviously that's very trite.
But nonetheless, if you take a look around, there's so much about America that patriots It's even difficult for patriots to really like.
And we're very, very concerned about the direction of the country, the decay of the institutions, and the fact that so many of our leaders seem to be, for lack of a better term, anti-American.
They're doing things antithetical to the American experiment.
It's very troubling.
So you can look at hardcore, measurable metrics and say we're going down in so many areas.
Immigration, inflation, crime, you know, military use.
The military failing to meet its recruitment goals by a large measure.
Rolling blackouts in energy.
We're so energy abundant, yet we're having rolling blackouts.
You know the FBI DOJ you name it in the work ethic you probably saw this morning where Bernie Marcus has said something I've been talking about You know I've been talking about for a while and that is you know We've got this kind of entitlement culture the giveaway culture We're giving billions and billions of dollars to people staying home and after a while That does have an effect on the work ethic it It corrupts, I think, your individualism.
And we've got a lot of especially folks between the ages of 18 and 40 who've gotten used to staying at home because of their mentality.
Their welfare mentality that used to be very limited and that is now widespread because of what happened during COVID.
Pete, I want to spend the last four minutes on 2023.
Republicans are taking over, again, not a large majority in the House and they don't have a majority at all in the Senate, but they have some power and they have some opportunities.
I don't think to do much legislating, I don't think they're going to be able to pass a lot of laws.
There's going to be a lot of stalemates, a lot of gridlock with the Senate, but they can do a lot of things with respect to oversight and investigation on what has been going on in these last two years.
What do you expect in 2023 out of the GOP?
Well, the first thing I expect is what we just talked about, that is, that they really do need to look at the institutional corruption predominantly in the FBI and DOJ, because those are the most serious right now.
Twitter is just the tip of the iceberg.
The weaponization of the FBI going after ordinary Americans, such as people praying in front of abortion clinics, simply praying.
But they will forget about threats to individuals made from the left or damage to the right-to-life clinics, anything of that nature.
They just, you know, who cares?
Nobody cares.
It's that weaponization that's a real problem.
And I expect that the oversight committees are going to be looking at that.
I also think they're going to be looking generally at overall institutional incompetence, and it is widespread, so they're going to have a lot on their plate.
But look at transportation.
We just saw so many debacles emanating from the transportation department, and that's just one matter, I mean one department.
There are so many of these things, but I think justice, FBI, under justice is the first order of business.
And they've got to look at all of the other corruption that's been allowed to fester, mainly because the media will turn a blind eye.
They are not a separate watchdog entity at all when it comes to Democrats.
They feed the imperative on the part of Democrats to engage in this kind of circumfusion and deception and corruption.
So they can be a watchdog, but nonetheless they've got an uphill battle.
There is only one named candidate for 2024 in the presidential race now, and that's Donald Trump.
And in 2023, we're going to find the other ones.
They're all going to come out around the summertime-ish.
I want to know, do you think President Trump is going to be able to run a campaign, or do you think the DOJ, weaponized as they are, being handed criminal referrals from the J6 committee, are they going to bring indictments or something that would stop President Trump from having an opportunity even to run?
Whether it's indictments or something else, they're going to try to smear them as much as they can, just as they have been.
There's absolutely no doubt about that.
You don't release tax returns like this.
This is unprecedented.
It's opened up a whole new battleground in politics, and not a good one.
This is very, very bad.
And so I expect that if they don't indict him, because they're going to be calibrating their offensive so that it doesn't redound against them, but they're going to do everything they can to further try to damage Donald Trump.
He is the great white whale.
They're scared to death of him, and they'll pull out all the stops.
Very, very well said.
Peter Kersenow, it's a pleasure listening to you.
It's a pleasure learning from you.
Thank you for what you've done all year long.
I wish you the very happiest of New Years, and we'll talk to you very soon.
Happy New Year, Bob.
Thank you, Peter.
That's Peter Kirstenow joining me.
I'm Bob France in for Dr. G.
We'll be right back on America First.
America First
America First
Carr Firearms Group loves America and shares President Trump's patriotism and passion for freedom.
They have been making a truly beautiful line of custom-engraved pistols to honor President Trump, and the latest one is just stunning.
The Rally Cry 1911 pays tribute to President Trump's ability to draw Americans together.
It is covered with engravings depicting MAGA rallies and the love of America shown by Trump supporters.
The engraving is amazingly detailed, with pictures of crowds, President Trump, his signature, and the American flag.
There are little messages for fans hidden in the engraving, such as, let's go Brampton, and God bless America.
Keep in mind, these guns are not just art, they are shooters.
Each one has a match grade .45 caliber barrel, enhanced trigger, extended safety, skeletonized hammer, and true glowed night sights.
These guns are made from stainless steel 100% in the United States.
To get one of your own, see your local dealer.
You will definitely want a Rally Cry, the Rally Cry 1911 in your collection.
Welcome, as we continue on America First, Bob France sitting in for Dr. G.
Live in the ReliefFactor.com studios here in Cleveland, Ohio.
Thanks again to Peter Kersenow, who just joined us.
Peter, by the way, in addition to being a member of the Civil Rights Commission and being a highly successful attorney, he's an author of some unbelievable books.
He has now picked up the W.E.B.
Griffin series.
He is writing for the late W.E.B.
Griffin, and the latest book is called The Devil's Weapons.
It just came out at Christmas time.
It's available on Amazon.
I highly recommend it if you're into novels, in particular, W.E.B.
Griffin's.
Peter Kershenow is the new author for that W.E.B.
Griffin series, and I would highly recommend that you check that out.
Alright, phone lines are open now at 833-33-GORKA, 833-334-6752.
The team has been working very hard, not only running this show behind the scenes here, and I'm talking about Jeff and Eric and John and John and Alex and Gary, or Guy rather, and everybody's working really hard.
They were doing two things, running this show and then also monitoring the press conference that was just held in Iowa this hour.
Not Iowa, beg your pardon, Idaho, where the murders of the four college students has been just vexing police and Americans for six weeks.
They made an arrest, if you have not heard, in Pennsylvania of the suspect.
They are calling him a suspect, not a person of interest, but the suspect is Brian Christopher Koberger, 28 years old.
They held a press conference to discuss what they know about this now.
And according to what the team just told me, they couldn't say anything.
They basically said, yes, we made an arrest, and oh, by the way, we can't talk about the ongoing investigation.
So it was a press conference, but it didn't say anything.
So you're not missing anything.
We will keep you up to date if we have new information on that story that, like I said, has really, you know, it has just been so difficult for so many people to wonder how can a vicious, quadruple murder situation like that of college students take place without some kind of You know, action by the investigators, and six weeks later, after a lot of people were hanging their heads, now they've made an arrest.
So that's all we know right now, is Brian Christopher Koberger, a 28-year-old grad student, a PhD student, at nearby Washington State University, about 15 minutes from the house in Idaho where the slaughter took place.
He's the primary suspect now, and he's going to be extradited eventually to Idaho for charges.
So that's what we can tell you right now.
Phone lines are open, as I mentioned to you.
We're going to go to those lines right now.
And I want to go to line three.
Art in Utah has been waiting for a long time since we started the program about an hour and a half ago.
Art, thank you for your patience.
You're on America First.
Bob's sitting in for Dr. G. Go right ahead.
Well, you talked about both my hot button issues, gun control and abortion already.
Have you ever thought, why?
Biden is so, so upset to get America disarmed.
About why he wants to disarm America?
Yeah.
You seem like you have a theory.
Why don't you give me yours before I tell you what I think?
Well, I had a friend who saw a t-shirt at a gun show, and it's Peppermint Patties leading against a tree, and Charlie Brown's usually placed on his back.
And Peppermint Patties says, why?
Why does the government want to take away our guns?
And Charlie Brown says, well, they want to enslave us so they don't want to get shot.
That's pretty good reason, isn't it?
That's a very good reason.
The only thing that a tyrannical government or somebody desiring to implement tyranny, the only thing that they fear is an armed population that can defend itself.
It's not a secret.
Because free men are armed and slaves are not.
Right, and it's the reason why.
Thank you for the phone call from Utah there, Art.
How did we cast off the British crown?
How did we defeat tyranny?
Because we were armed!
And that's why the men who wrote the Constitution said right away, we need to remain harmed so that we can always protect ourselves against tyranny.
Thank you, Art.
We'll be back on America First.

I know Dr. G is.
Welcome.
Bob France once again in for Dr. G. Seventeen minutes before the top of the hour.
Today is the last day for Dr. Gorka's campaign to help the non-profit Prison Fellowship break the cycle of crime that has impacted so many families across America.
Statistics show this.
A huge percentage of kids with a mom or a dad in prison will themselves end up behind bars someday.
Through outreach like Prison Fellowship's Angel Tree Camp, you can help these at-risk kids experience the fresh air and enjoy time with other kids in similar circumstances and learn the love of Christ as they get to be just kids.
Thanks to gifts from people just like you at SebGorka.com.
Just listen to the voices of these Angel Tree Campers themselves telling you how much fun they have with all the camp activities.
It's a little mini zoo that you get to pet chickens and goats.
- We go to archery, we used to go BB gum aiming.
We go to the animal.
It's a little mini zoo that you get to pet chickens and goats.
First day, we went swimming and we had lunch, breakfast, and then dinner. - I just, I love the sound of kids being kids, you know?
And that's what this gives them an opportunity to do.
And they're getting three mails each day, and this is a far cry from being trapped in a hot city or in a bad neighborhood surrounded by gangs and drugs.

I want to remind you, I want to talk about Twitter for just two seconds.
I'm listing all of the reasons and the ways that 2022 has been maybe the worst year in America for the lifetime of many people.
And I've run down some of these, and I'll run down through even more of them.
One of the only, I think, shining lights, I guess, that we can say about 2022 is the year that Elon Musk bought Twitter.
And it was the year that he freed a lot of political prisoners from the jail that they've been in by way of Twitter bans.
In other words, frontline doctors, people who question the poison darts that they try to jab into your arms that do not inoculate you against the deadly virus.
Anybody who's been censored because they disagreed with climate change scientists or disagreed with Dr. Fauci or made fun of cackling Kamala or anything else.
Elon Musk bought Twitter and restored all of those accounts and now is making it his mission to expose all of the attacks on the First Amendment, the censorship, censorship, the suppression of speech of conservatives all across this country under the former administration or former leadership or whatever it is you want to call it for Twitter.
So that's been one of the few things.
It brought me back.
I was off of Twitter for about three, almost three and a half years.
I quit Twitter.
I used to have about 40,000 followers.
I used to engage with people, and then I started seeing that I wasn't engaging anymore.
No matter how much I tried, I wasn't able to reach anybody.
I knew I was being shadow banned like so many other conservatives.
So I left and I came back when Elon bought it.
And now, I'm trying to rebuild the following, working with Dr. Gorka, working with the other Salem hosts, Dennis Prager, Hugh Hewitt, Brandon Tatum, and really trying to re-engage.
So if you're on Twitter, follow me there and I want to rebuild, right from the ground up.
Follow me at France Rants.
It's F-R-A-N-T-Z.
R-A-N-T-Z, France Rants, on Twitter.
Follow me as Dr. G does, and all of the other great Salem hosts do.
And we're doing this year in review, and I'm going to ask you on Twitter to kind of contribute, the way we are on the phones as well, your thoughts on whether or not 2022 is the worst year for America that you can remember.
And I've got a big long list here that I'll continue to work through on the rest of the program today.
But for now, let's go back to the phones.
Now we're going to go to Line 4 in Los Angeles.
That's where Brent has also been very patient, waiting for his turn.
And Brent, you are now on America First with Dr. G. Bob Franz sitting in.
Fire away.
Yes, a happy and holy New Year, Bob.
And to you.
And I'm glad to talk to you again, but I'm grieving.
The past year has been a year of biblical darkness.
And it's been a year that again bears witness to what happens when soulless leaders mandate the morality of Marx and Mao and outlaw the morals of Moses and Jesus.
As done many times before by such satanic demons as Pharaoh or Herod, Titus or Caligula, Nero, Mousy Tongue, Stalin and Hitler.
And Marxism, like all of the devil's dark deceptions, is a mass murder machine, which again is silently bulldozing millions of innocent souls into globalist graves.
The only thing I would ask is, as you ran down that litany of Marxists and tyrants and so forth, is why you stopped with Hitler and why you didn't continue into Obama and Biden?
Because I think they're in the same path.
That doesn't mean they're going to exterminate 6 million Jews or something along those lines, but they are in the same vein trying to tear down the freedom.
I absolutely agree with you.
in this great capitalist republic have right now and to turn them into globalist slaves.
I truly believe that is their goal.
It's what Barack Obama meant when he said fundamentally transform America.
And that's from what it is to something that he wants it to be.
And that is a socialist or Marxist nation.
So I think you should continue and update and refresh that list.
I absolutely agree with you.
I had a much longer list.
Now, I don't want to believe all of that, by the way.
But look, I'm not going to ignore my lying eyes.
I see what I see, and I hear what I hear, and I watch and see what's going on at the WHO.
And thank you for the phone call, Brent.
God bless you, and I appreciate hearing from you.
I look at what's going on at the World Health Organization.
I look at what's going on at the World Economic Forum.
And I look at what's going on with the International Monetary Fund.
And I look at all of the globalism that we are embedded in.
And everything that they tried to do to tell us what to do with this global pandemic, and all of the damage and the chaos it has caused to our markets here in the United States, our economy, the business sector, employment, and more.
And I cannot just ignore what I see.
There is an attempt to destroy this.
I like to call the United States what it has been.
The greatest force for good in the history of human civilization.
And I recognize there were some great civilizations.
No one has done more to help people, God's creation, more than the United States of America throughout her history.
And the greatest force for good in the history of human civilization is in peril.
It is in grave jeopardy.
And there are people trying to tear it down.
There are people trying to essentially eliminate it and make it a part of one world government, global governance, and they're having great success.
That's why 2022 was one of the worst years in human, in my estimation, at least in my lifetime, in American history.
It was that bad, because it's part of the goal, and we're going to talk more about that.
I've got more on my list, and I welcome your list, and I welcome you again.
You follow me at Twitter, and we'll read some of those as well.
Follow me on Twitter at France Rants, F-R-A-N-T-Z, R-A-N-T-Z, and we're right back.

Now let's get back to the show with Bob France.
Yeah, let's do exactly that, and our show sponsor, Carr Firearms, wants you to know that the Auto Ordnance Custom Rally Cry 1911 is the new product for 2022, and it can be ordered through any gun store nationwide.
Shipments are indeed underway in this month of December.
Welcome back as we continue on America First, where I just sent a tweet out.
If you are following me on Twitter, thank you.
If you're not, please do so, and we'll engage even after this show ends and we move back to normalcy in 2023.
But I just sent a tweet out reminding everybody, and I sent it to Dr. G, too, of what we're talking about and what we're going to do for the next hour or two.
Is 2022 the worst year of your memory in your lifetime?
And I asked that, of course, by way of this big long list, and here's what I wrote.
We're doing a year in review live now on America First.
Was this the worst year you can remember because of record inflation?
record gas prices, border invasion, supply chain, mandates, Green New Deal, the Inflation Reduction Act, groomers, the war in Ukraine, midterm debacle, and I ran out of spaces.
I ran out of character spaces on that tweet.
But there are more.
And I'm going to share those with you.
And I want your thoughts on them, too.
833-33-GORKA.
That's 833-334-6752.
Let's get a call in from Vincent in Atlanta.
Vincent, thanks for your patience.
You are on America First.
Fire away.
Hey, happy new year early.
Thank you, sir.
You too.
Hi, I'm just a little frustrated that there's no red wave nonsense that I keep hearing.
President Trump got the most votes of any sitting president in American history, even with the fraud.
I mean, that's the very definition of a red wave.
And with these voting machines, we can't trust these mail-in ballots, we cannot trust.
How do we know we did not have a red wave this time?
And the answer is, we don't.
Well, I mean, look, there's no doubt that there are still all kinds of questions and election irregularities, particularly in Arizona with what we saw with Carrie Lake.
But when we talk about there not being a red wave, we're not going back to the 2020 election.
We're just talking about last month, the midterms and the opportunity to correct so much of what has been going wrong here.
And we didn't have the red wave.
Now, I'll say this.
And thank you for the call.
I keep listening, Vincent, as I give a response to this.
I'll say this.
The mail-in balloting is a problem.
And I am finally coming around to the understanding that we're never going to unring the bell that is early voting and that is mail-in voting.
We're never going to be able to get that toothpaste back into the tube.
OK?
I've got to let you go there, Vincent.
Thank you for the phone call.
But I want to make a few points here before the break.
We're never going to get the toothpaste back in the tube.
In other words, we're never going to go back to single-day voting.
It's just not going to happen.
So we can either continue to let the Democrats work the system and use mail-in voting and use early voting to bank votes for their people, to be counted usually after the Election Day votes, and continue to beat us.
Or we can embrace it and start doing the same thing they are.
And start doing ballot harvesting where it's legal.
Start doing the same exact early voting embracement.
I can't remember who said it first, but the Democrats are banking votes ahead of time, while we are signing promissory notes saying, I promise I'll go vote on election day.
And then we have all kinds of irregularities.
We have problems on election day, don't we?
And that's why we keep getting beaten.
In addition to the fraud, there are other things that are costing us, and that's what we need to do to come back in 2023.
Thanks so much for being with us.
Hour 3 is coming up on America First.

Thank you for the opportunity and the introduction.
Yes, live in the ReliefFactor.com studios of AM 1420, The Answer, in Cleveland, Ohio.
My home base is WHK, which you can hear 9 to noon, Eastern Time, whenever you want to, around the country.
Also on the podcast page there at WHKRadio.com.
Don't forget, you can also find me on Twitter, now that I've rejoined, at France Rance, F-R-A-N-T-Z.
R-A-N-T-Z.
Just France, and then drop the F and type it again, and you'll find me on Twitter, as Dr. G does, and I just posted on Twitter what we are doing in this program, and we've got one more hour to do it, and that is looking back at the last 12 months.
The calendar year 2022 is about to come to an end, mercifully, because it has been brutal, and I've been listing some of the reasons why I believe it is the worst year of my lifetime.
And again, I said that last hour.
I want to be clear.
That doesn't mean personally, your personal lifetime, because of personal things that happen to us, death of loved ones, loss of job, calamities, things like that.
You could say my worst year was X. As a country, let's run down the list again.
Forty-year high inflation.
Can't even put food on our tables for the same price that we did a couple years ago.
Can't put clothes on our kids' backs.
Can't buy products without killing our monthly budgets, because we're not allowed to do what the federal government does, and that is just spend well beyond millions and trillions and beyond our means.
We have to actually stay within a budget, right?
The supply chain disruption.
We couldn't even get cars on lots.
We couldn't get Baby formula into bottles and into the mouths of our infants.
We had to get them from third world countries.
We had third world countries delivering pallets of baby formula.
The most powerful economic country in the world.
That's what we had because of Biden's America.
Record high crime spikes in urban centers all over this country.
Lack of police officers and soft on crime DAs.
Soft on crime judges giving out lenient sentences.
A border crisis that I can't even begin to talk about.
It would take two solid weeks of radio without breaks to really try to underscore and explain how dangerous it is.
It is a national security crisis at the border.
It is a humanitarian crisis at the border.
We are all border states now.
50 states strong.
Yes, the vast majority of them are in the border states, but now Biden, of course, has been trucking them and bussing them and flying them all over the country in the dead of night.
And then they complain when Greg Abbott tries to send a message and sends a few busloads of them to Washington, D.C.
and to Kamala Harris's house, and suddenly, that's a political stunt.
You can't do that.
Oh, you're using these people as chess pawns.
You sent them up to Martha's Vineyard.
That's not fair.
That's not right.
But Biden's been doing it and sending them all over the country to spread... In fact, so many of them have been sent by Biden to New York City that Eric Adams, the mayor there, is screaming for what?
He wants a billion dollars, another billion dollars of federal tax dollars sent to New York to provide services for the number of illegal immigrants that have been sent to New York.
After every state in the country now is a border state and there is no chance that they're going to lift that any time soon.
There's no chance they're going to seal the border.
There's no chance they're going to hire.
Hell, they just passed the omnibus spending bill.
1.7 trillion dollars.
Do you know how many of those dollars are for border security?
Zero.
Zero.
Understand that.
There were a few bucks thrown into it for U.S.
Customs and Border Protection, but it's all about transportation.
It is not about sealing the border.
Drug overdoses.
Record number of fentanyl drug overdoses.
Fentanyl coming into the United States from China by way of the southern border.
Mexico is the bridge for it to get here.
Human trafficking.
Record numbers of people and children and girls being kidnapped in human trafficking ranks.
Also coming across the border unchecked.
Record numbers of gang members.
Record numbers of people on the terrorist watch list coming across our border.
And we don't even know how many of the hundreds of thousands of what they call gotaways are terrorists, are gang members, are cartel members.
We don't know because they got away.
Schools.
The battle in schools.
For the right to have some sort of a say as a parent in how your children are being educated.
As it pertains to things that are appropriate and not appropriate for them.
Sexualizing lessons.
Sexualizing children from preschool through their primary grades.
And when you protest against that, like they did in Florida, under Governor Ron DeSantis, the left calls it and the media calls it, don't say gay.
And then makes you out to be the bigot.
This 2022 has been the year of the groomer and more on that in a moment, but I want to run through the rest of these.
War in Ukraine and so far a hundred billion of your tax dollars and mine sent to Ukraine for the purposes of pushing back the Russians and With the President of the United States declaring to Zelensky, who came to Congress in his sweatshirt just last week, telling him, we will support you and fund you.
Until, or excuse me, for as long as it takes.
He was open-ended.
There is, in other words, there is no cap on the amount of money that we will send you.
There is no definite period of time in which we will send you that money.
It's indefinite.
And we don't know what it takes, as long as it takes to do what?
We don't know what the outcome must be.
As long as it takes to do what?
To push the Russians back to the other side of the border?
And have it like it was before the war started?
Is that enough?
Is that when we say, okay, now the money spigot is cut off to Ukraine?
Or is it worse than that?
Does it have to involve regime change?
Until Zelensky can drive Putin out of power!
In which case we have to do what?
We have to participate in a proxy war against Russia!
To depose their leadership!
Is that what Biden left it all on the table?
What else?
COVID requirements, continuing mandates for federal workers, and college students who aren't allowed on campus without shots in campuses all over this country, without the poison darts, the experiments, freeing the merchant of death in exchange for a WNBA player who hates America.
That's another beauty.
I already mentioned the energy costs, record high gas prices, getting your kids to and from school, getting yourself to and from work, much less any kind of discretionary driving.
Forget about it.
It's over five bucks a gallon?
National average, four bucks a gallon?
I mean, it's just been insane.
Stores closed.
Restaurants closed.
Or, if you want to be seated, we can seat you, but you might not get a server at your table for over an hour because we're shorthanded.
Signs on every window.
We are short staff.
Please be nice to the ones who came to work today.
Nobody wants to work in this welfare state.
Biden's America.
Election fraud.
Last caller, a couple of callers ago, talked about election fraud, particularly what happened in Arizona.
The Green New Deal was passed in the form of something called the Inflation Reduction Act that does nothing but actually increase inflation a small amount over the course of the next ten years.
The omnibus spending bill, which we just discussed.
This has been, without question, for me, my opinion, Collectively as a country, the worst year on record in my lifetime.
I'm not 90 and I'm not 20.
I'm in the middle there somewhere and I don't know of a year, top to bottom, January to December, that had this many things going where you're saying, what in the hell?
But this is Biden's America.
You tell me if I'm overreacting, you tell me if I'm wrong, you tell me if there isn't something that is redeeming in 2022 that makes this year not so bad, and maybe I'm just looking at too many of the bad.
I did mention Roe vs. Wade, I did mention Dobbs, but even that comes with a price.
Even getting Roe vs. Wade overturned and returning the decision about abortion restrictions to the states, it came with a tax on pregnancy centers and churches.
If we're not safe, you're not safe.
If our bodies and our wombs aren't safe, yours aren't safe.
You aren't safe.
You know, firebombs.
Molotov cocktails being thrown into pregnancy centers.
Doxing Supreme Court justices because the leak of the draft opinion came out before they actually gave the Dobbs decision.
I mean, we are talking about some of the most radical times we've ever experienced, and it's all going on in one calendar year, 2022.
Even the good has some bad.
So you tell me if I'm going too far.
Now, I called this, loosely speaking, because I could call this the year of a lot of things, but I think we can certainly say that 2022 has been the year of the groomer.
The attempt to sexualize our children has gone to depths we have never seen before.
It has sunk to depths or risen to heights, depending on your point of view, that we have never seen before.
Drag shows, which used to be called adults-only entertainment.
You know, a drag show is kind of like going to a strip club, but for, you know, for homosexuals.
I mean, largely, going to a strip club is an adult 18-and-only-over thing, right?
Watching women take their clothes off.
But going to a drag show is going to watch grown men wearing women's lingerie and other sexually suggestive outfits and watching them going up there and dancing sexually.
Provocatively.
Twerking and shaking and doing the same types of things.
And it used to be considered adult only entertainment.
Now they're bringing it to your kids' libraries, to your kids' schools, to your churches.
And they're called adult-friendly, all-ages drag.
Why?
If not to groom children into that deviant alternate lifestyle, why?
This has been the year of the groomer.
And I've got much more on that that I'm going to talk about as we continue.
And we're going to push back, and we're going to fight back in defense of our kids still being allowed to be kids when we continue on America First.
Bob France sitting in for Dr. G.
Stay here.
Thank you.
I'm Seb Gorka.
Now let's get back to the show with Bob France.
20 minutes past the hour, we do continue now.
Hey, remember during the COVID lockdown when the government closed the churches in the name of public health?
They stripped away our religious rights to gather, to worship, and to sing together in church.
That was religious tyranny.
America was in crisis.
Depression, Suicide, drugs, alcoholism grew to astronomical proportions, and there was no church to bring people hope.
Well, the new documentary, Superspreader, explores singer-songwriter Sean Foyt's bold and controversial stand to fight for our religious liberty, to bring the gospel back to a country in chaos, how Christians rose up and decided a pandemic would not stop them from gathering to worship God.
It brings both sides of the controversy together, including the intense criticism from politicians and mainstream media.
Watch this movie and make your own decision.
It's called Superspreader, an inspirational wild ride of what became the Let Us Worship movement, bringing worship back to the people no matter the cost.
Superspreader is a must-see movie.
It's available now at SalemNow.com.
That's SalemNow.com.
You know, it's funny, I've been playing this drop, this soundbite on my program in Cleveland, Ohio, ever since I got it, because it's tied directly to what I just read to you.
You remember Pastor, oh goodness gracious, why am I can't do this?
How am I going to forget his name for crying out loud?
What was the name of the Polish pastor in Canada who continued to push back and fight back against the police who would come in to raid his church?
Because in Canada they were even more tyrannical, and still are, I think, even in the United States.
I wish I could remember.
Say that again, Pastor what?
Pawlowski, yes, yes, Pastor Artur Pawlowski.
He was unbelievable, and I remember the video slash audio when the police came in to try to tell him to get the worshippers out of his church, and he went crazy on them, and I've saved this drop ever since then, as he told them to get out of his church.
Out!
Immediately out!
I don't want to talk to you.
Not a word.
I don't care what you have to say.
Out!
He threw them out on their A's and he became almost public enemy number one for the Canadian police.
And they waited until, and then he went on a tour promoting, you know, that whole thing, that idea of worshipping and not giving up your religious freedom.
He came to the United States, he was here, and he knew full well that when he got back there they were going to try to arrest him and they did.
And they arrested him, and they charged him, and they put a massive potential sentence in front of him.
Then he was released on bail, and I'm not exactly sure where things stand right now, but that man is a man of courage.
He was not going to allow his services to be interrupted.
He was not going to allow the tyrants, essentially, to say, you cannot worship, you cannot lift your voice unto the Lord and sing in a place of worship like this.
He threw them out, and I absolutely love that.
I've been playing that drop ever since.
Of course now, I usually do it when I get a bad phone caller.
I get a bad phone caller I don't want to talk to anymore, I say, OUT!
OUT!
OUT!
IMMEDIATELY OUT!
I don't want to talk to you!
Not a word!
I don't care what you have to say!
OUT!
So it's kind of dual purpose.
Now, before I go back to phone callers that I do want to talk to, I want to I want to get back to the year of the groomer as I mentioned 2022 has been the year of the groomer in response to the non-stop attempt to sexualize children with sexualized pornographic literature being put in school libraries and on school bookshelves.
The family-friendly, drag-time story hours and drag performances in which perverted, deviant adult males dress up as sexualized females, shaking fake breasts, wearing g-strings and shaking their hairy rear ends at boys and girls.
This attempt to normalize this type of deviant sexual behavior, and that's exactly what it was.
An attempt to try to teach kids they're not what God made them, and they can be any one of a hundred or more different genders, or identities, trans species even being embraced, and all of this kind of stuff.
Well, I found something a few months ago, I don't remember how, that has really, really, I think, crystallized this situation.
And it was somebody who was more prescient and forward-thinking than I think anybody could ever have imagined.
You remember Mr. Rogers?
Our generation grew up with Mr. Rogers, along with Sesame Street and some of the other kids' things.
Mr. Rogers knew what was coming down the line back in the 1970s when he started singing a regular tune on his show for children, telling kids, don't get the idea.
That you can be something other than what you are.
It's like he saw the transgender agenda long before it ever really began.
And he sang the song not once, but multiple times with direct and clear messages that I think maybe if Mr. Rogers was alive and allowed to do his show today, might do a lot of great things for the mindset of a lot of kids and maybe even parents.
Today, though, when people listen to this on the left, they freak out.
They call this hate speech.
Tell me what you think of Mr. Rogers from the 1970s telling kids to be who they are.
Listen.
Boys are boys from the beginning.
If you were born a boy, you stay a boy.
Girls are girls right from the start.
If you were born a girl, you stay a girl and grow up to be a lady.
Everybody's fancy.
Everybody's fine.
Your body's fancy and so is mine.
Only girls can be the mommies.
Only boys can be the daddies, yes sir.
Everybody's fancy, everybody's fine.
Mr. Rogers was laying out science, spitting rhymes, at would-be transgender, transvestite, trans-whatever pushers back in the 70s and in the early 80s.
He even went on Johnny Carson on the Tonight Show and told Johnny Carson why he sings that song on his show.
He said, because little kids Can at times get confused, and that's okay because they're little kids, but they should always remember and always be encouraged to be who they are and what they are, and that is exactly the message that needs to be shared today.
That message is probably second only to, or maybe even it's even better than, my other message that the left hates when I share, and that is the message from Pastor Mark Robinson.
Pastor Mark Robinson, who is the Lieutenant Governor in North Carolina, is one of my favorite people in the world because he goes out there and does not sugarcoat it.
He goes out there and yells it and screams it for everybody to hear.
Here are the scientific facts.
Ain't but two genders!
Two genders!
Ain't nothing but men and women!
Pastor Robinson has laid it out and has said, bring it!
Bring your cancellation!
Try to cancel me!
Go ahead!
Tell me that I'm not going to tell everybody what God really says.
And God made men and women, and nothing else you can do to change that, will ever change that.
You can put on as much makeup as you want, and you are still going to be a man.
If you're a woman, you can put on, and you can take hormones to grow mustaches if you want, and you're still going to be a female.
Your chromosomes don't lie.
Your body doesn't lie.
Your mind may play tricks on you.
And when your mind plays tricks on you, what do we do?
What do we do?
Do we cut off perfectly healthy organs on the body?
Or do we treat the mind?
Well, the year of the groomer was 2022.
We need to make sure that the year of the groomer ends when the calendar year ends.
2023 must change.
We'll be back.
Thank you.
Now let's get back to the show with Bob France.
And we are rockin' the casbah for Dr. G while he's off on this Friday, the last day of 2022 for live radio programs, or at least for dailies anyway.
You'll have some good stuff over the weekend, I am sure, but glad to be with you and having a little bit of fun.
Here's the full Megillah from Mark Robinson, Lieutenant Governor of North Carolina.
Ain't but two genders!
Two genders!
Ain't nothing but men and women.
You can go to the doctor and get cut up.
You can go down to the dress shop and get made up.
You can go down there and get drugged up.
But at the end of the day, you are just a drugged up, dressed up, made up, cut up, man or woman.
I apologize for the lack of broadcast professionalism, but I absolutely love Mark Robinson, Lieutenant Governor of North Carolina.
He's called Pastor Mark, and I don't know if he's officially a pastor or not, but doggone it, I would worship any place where he is preaching.
That, I can promise you.
All right, we're going to go back to the phones here.
It's 833-33-GORKA, 833-7776.
And I appear to have lost my call list here because I started looking at Pastor Mark Robinson.
Can you tell me who we have coming up next, please?
And let's go right back to John is in Columbus, Ohio, all right, on Buckeye.
I like to hear that.
Hey, John, you're on America First.
Bob Franson for Dr. G. Fire away.
Hey there, first time I've heard of you.
Being in Columbus, I don't hear Cleveland Station very much, but anyways, your last guest, I think, was a constitutional lawyer, and I just read something about a Republican.
I am a Republican, conservative, and believe that men are men, and women are women, and you know, the way things are naturally supposed to be.
The Republican passed a law stating that First Amendment auditors will no longer be able to record police officers during interactions or anything.
Something about an eight foot radius.
As soon as the police officer steps inside eight foot of the recording device, that device has to be turned off.
I don't know.
I have not heard of that one, John.
I'm sorry to say.
I try to be prepared on everything anybody might bring up, but you caught me.
I have not heard about that one.
You're saying that's in Arizona?
Yes, sir.
Okay.
I've got a lot of contacts in Arizona that I will look into with this because that is very interesting to me.
I have, you know, it's funny, it's not funny, it's actually very unfortunate because of all of the scrutiny of police officers and after things like, you know, a lot of controversial situations, obviously George Floyd and other things like that, police officers Everybody seems to think that if a police officer isn't on video that he's breaking the law.
If he isn't on video that he is going to be violating somebody's civil rights or somebody else's, you know, they're going to use excessive force and so on and so forth.
So I know most cops appreciate The fact that they have their body cams on now.
I know most cops want to be on video because they don't want anybody accusing them of doing something they haven't done before.
So if this is a new law that you're talking about and it's legitimate, I really wonder whether or not police officers who are, you know, the street cops who are engaging with all of the individuals that they have to after radio calls and so forth, I wonder if they were behind it because I doubt very seriously.
I know a lot of cops A lot of them.
I do a lot of work for police and FOP and things like that because I'm a strong supporter and I know they are glad to be on video.
They don't like the idea of being accused of things they can't prove themselves innocent of without the video so I will definitely have to look into that one.
Yeah, I support the police too and even the state trooper that pulled me over was very professional and Made my ticket citation last about five minutes instead of, you know, 30 minutes like some of these videos, you know, audits.
Well, the chances are, the chances are you did things the right way, you know?
I mean, all they want to do is be professional and say, look, you know, I didn't make you speed.
Don't get mad at me.
You sped or you did this or you did that.
Let's be, you know, respectful, respectful here.
Give me what I asked for.
Answer my questions and we'll all be on our way.
That's how it's supposed to be.
It is, of course, those who are so livid and angry that they broke the law or did something wrong.
They're the ones who give the cops a hard time, and those are the ones that drag out the experiences and make everybody uncomfortable.
Hey John, thanks for the call.
I appreciate that.
By the way, I mentioned that I have a lot of contacts in Arizona, and the reason for that is I represent an important organization I want to make you aware of.
Citizens for Free Speech.
There is nobody that can argue that one of the other reasons 2022 was such a bad year is it was really a year of war on the First Amendment.
We found out now that it wasn't just the big tech companies that were suppressing and were censoring and were canceling people for being conservative.
They were colluding with and almost being ordered in many cases by the federal government to do so.
By the FBI.
By the DOJ.
My point being, Citizens for Free Speech is a very important organization defending the First Amendment.
I'm the National Communications Director for that group.
Become a member.
It's totally free.
Go to citizensforfreespeech.org.
Citizensforfreespeech.org.
And I will see you at a CFFS town hall meeting coming up sometime soon.
We'll be back.
Now let's get back to the show with Bob France.
Let's do exactly that, Dr. G, winding down 2022 and talking about the year of hell that has just gone by.
Let's make it end on a positive note.
Today is the final day of Seb's campaign to help the nonprofit Prison Fellowship break the cycle of crime.
That has impacted so many families across America.
Statistics show that a huge percentage of kids with a mom or a dad in prison will themselves end up behind bars someday.
But through outreach like Prison Fellowship's Angel Tree Camp, you can help these at-risk children.
You can help them experience fresh air and enjoy time with other kids that can be a difference in their lives.
Kids in similar circumstances learn the love of Christ as they get to just be kids for a while.
Thanks to gifts from people just like you at subgorka.com.
I want you to listen to the voices of some of these angel tree campers themselves, telling you how much fun and how important it is that they have all of these camp activities.
Horseback riding ride, balloon animals, and yeah, we go fishing, then we go to archery.
We used to go BB gun aiming.
We go to the animal, it's a little mini zoo that you get to pet chickens and goats.
First day, we went swimming and we had lunch, breakfast, and then dinner.
You know, you can hear that excitement just for those kids to get three meals each day.
Lunch and breakfast and dinner.
It's things they don't get all the time.
It's a far cry from being trapped in a hot city or a bad neighborhood surrounded by gangs or drugs.
And by helping today at subgorka.com and clicking on the Prison Fellowship banner, you'll also score a year-end tax deduction for your gift of any amount.
So please, go to subgorka.com last day today.
Click on Prison Fellowship Banner and make your tax deductible year-end gift.
The deadline is actually tomorrow, December 31st, Saturday night.
So please do that today.
Do not miss an opportunity to help a kid.
833-33-GORKA is the phone number to join us.
Let's get right back to it and get a few more phone calls.
We're going to go to Texas in Line 3.
Daniel is waiting patiently and now on America First.
Daniel, fire away.
Yes, sir.
Thank you for taking my call.
I want to kind of send a shout out to all my fellow Republicans and hopefully have a New Year's resolution.
We need to do our civic duty starting the first of this new year.
You need to start calling your congressmen, start calling your senators.
Mitch McConnell wants to be the de facto head of the Republican Party.
That means that every Republican in this country is a constituent of Mitch McConnell.
He has six state offices and one Washington office.
Call his phones, make them ring off the wall and tell them we don't appreciate what he's doing to our country.
You know, people have their friends and relatives on their Uh, speed dial list.
I have my congressman and representative state, local, national, all of them.
And I call them all the time.
My representative in Washington, I call them so often that whenever I call up there, they recognize my voice.
I don't even have to give them my name anymore.
And as far as voting, if you feel your vote don't count, Believe me, if you don't vote, your vote counts, but it counts for the other guy.
So get out there, vote early.
I've been doing it for years.
Yeah, very well said.
I don't suppose you're in Chip Roy's district, are you?
No, sir, I'm not.
Okay, because that would be a good district to be in.
He is a champion, he is a patriot, and doing great things.
And your message is a great message as well.
God bless you.
Happy New Year to you, Daniel.
I appreciate that call.
And I concur.
If you aren't an activist, you are a pacifist.
And when I say pacifist, that doesn't mean as opposed to warrior.
When I say pacifist, it means you are willing to sit by and watch it all play out before you, not having any interest whatsoever in influencing the outcome.
And that is the wrong way to approach this.
If you're not active, you're passive.
So here's what you do.
You become an activist.
I started to talk about this in the last segment before we went to the break.
I'm an activist insofar as I'm the National Communications Director for Citizens for Free Speech.
Go to that website, please.
Citizensforfreespeech.org.
It's all spelled out, no abbreviations.
Citizensforfreespeech.org.
It is free to join.
Uh, and it is exactly what this call was just talking about.
How do we make changes happen?
It starts by getting off of our rear ends.
Don't just listen to conservative talk radio and gripe and complain.
Get up and do something.
Contacting your legislators.
And it doesn't have to be your federal legislators.
It doesn't even have to be legislators, your city council members, your library board, your water department, your school board, obviously.
Being active and fighting for what is right and fighting for the Constitution and the rights that we have all been gifted, it literally begins in your hometown.
That's what CFFS is all about.
You'll get training, you'll get resources, you'll get activist materials.
Please, trust me when I tell you this.
If we don't fight for the First Amendment, we will lose the First Amendment, because it is absolutely under attack, not just by big tech, but by big, radical, Democrat government.
And if you're not willing to fight back against that, then you're probably in the wrong place.
Thank you again for that call, Daniel.
We'll go to Paul in Long Beach.
Paul in Long Beach, California.
You're on America First.
Go ahead, sir.
Hey, Bob.
Happy New Year from Long Beach, California.
Thank you.
Right back at you.
Thanks.
I want to say that I agree with you.
I've lived probably somewhere in your age range.
I think we are in the worst times within our lifetimes.
I was a kid, a little kid in the Carter era and old enough to pay attention, and the economic climate was awful.
We had inflation and recession at the same time.
That was Ford and Carter.
But it got worse during Carter.
And America's was national security.
Our national security situation was bad.
The Soviet Union was expanding all over the globe.
And we just gone through Vietnam.
But we didn't have the cultural rot back then that we did now.
I mean, now we have the media.
The media was liberal back then, but now they're active promoters of the cultural rot.
Like, it's a good thing.
All the cultural rot you discussed.
Those two words.
I haven't used those words.
You just did.
And they're perfect.
That is exactly right.
That is the difference between then and now.
Cultural rot.
I have not heard it phrased that way and you're right.
Thank you for the call.
Paul in Long Beach.
Happy New Year to you too.
That is exactly what's... There's ideological issues and differences.
And those are always going to be there.
Religious differences, those are always going to be there.
Cultural rot is what we are enduring right now, and it is changing the game.
It's changing the mindset of our children, and our youth are going to grow up without knowing the culture that made this country great.
Very well said, sir.
Thank you.
you.
We're back in a minute.
Thank you.
Now let's get back to the show with Bob France.
Yeah, we're gonna do exactly that.
I'm gonna send you into 2023 with this song stuck in your head like an earworm.
That's what I'm gonna do.
Boys are boys from the beginning.
Girls are girls right from the start.
Everybody's fancy.
Everybody's fine.
Your body's fancy and so is mine.
Only girls can be the mummies.
Only boys can grow up and be the daddies.
Yes sir, everybody's fancy.
Everybody's fine.
Your body's fancy and so is mine.
Do me a favor.
Play that for every leftist that you know.
Every last one of them.
Play that for them and tell them it's a special, special message from Mr. Rogers.
If today's generation had Mr. Rogers to watch, we wouldn't be in the situation we're in right now.
That, I promise you.
Charles, calling us from Arizona on America First.
Hi, Charles.
Go ahead, sir.
Yes, sir.
God bless you for what you said about the alphabet situation.
And you know, that litany of problems you ran through, really, they're just all symptoms of the major problem, which is the forces in America that are driving us to forget God.
And, you know, the Bible says that, you know, you forget God, you're going to be lost.
Psalms 917 and the founding fathers had the same view.
John Adams, I believe it was, said, our Constitution was made for a moral and religious people and is wholly inadequate for the government of any other.
And if we have, if your former caller is right, and most people are in favor of abortion, which is nothing more than legalized murder, And the alphabet situation, which is sodomy, if we're okay with that, then we're doomed.
We're gonna go down the tubes, and the only hope for us is we have to return to be how the founding fathers intended us to be, which is based on Bible.
No, you know what?
You're spot on, Charles, and I appreciate your call.
Thank you, sir.
God bless.
You're exactly right.
And we do have to return to that basis.
There is no question about it.
Let's go to Atlanta.
Steve, on line one, you are on America First with Bob Franson for Dr. G. Got time for you here.
Go ahead, sir.
Thank you, Bob.
I'll take my call.
So my mission this year is to print up hundreds of signs, yard signs, regular old yard signs, and put them out all over the driving roads here in Atlanta.
Uh, and the signs will say, uh, AM 920 The Answer Atlanta.
Free on iHeartRadio.
And then I haven't decided what the last word's gonna be.
Is it gonna say, uh, funny?
Or, it has to be a big word that, you know, that you can see from far away, you know?
And so when you see those signs out here in Atlanta to the folks here in Atlanta, that's that's me, Steve.
I love that.
I love that.
You know what?
It's just like an election.
Thank you for the call, my friend.
It's like an election promoting our candidates.
Let's promote our radio stations.
They're preaching the truth and telling the truth and trying to continue to make America great.
And yes, keep America first.
That's exactly what you should do.
Great idea.
Thank you for that call.
Thank you to the team.
Seriously, everybody on Dr. G's team, you guys are the best.
I appreciate the opportunity to sit in.
Hopefully we can do this again soon.
Jeff, Eric, John, John, Alex, and Guy, you guys are the best.
To all of the listeners of Dr. G, thank you for what you do.
Let's keep America first in 2023.
