	�� Where are the free speech warriors today?
	The hypocrisy is obvious to the American people.
	You are showing who you all are, really.
	I know Congressman Omar will not be silent.
	And to Congressman Omar, I am so sorry, Seth, that our country is failing you today.
	Through this chamber, you belong in this committee.
	What would Freud call that?
	I'm not a big fan of Freud, but I think he had a label for that.
	Something to do with hysterical women.
	That's Rashida Tlaib.
	That's the woman who, in her offices in Congress, sticks a post-it note over a map showing Israel and calls it Palestine.
	That is the ungrateful bigoted racist America hater who on the day she is sworn in to one of the most prestigious positions in the world as a member of Congress in front of her child screams In front of an audience, including her child standing right next to her, we're going to impeach the MFA.
	That's Rashida Tlaib.
	Screaming, breaking down, crying, because of what?
	Because Ilhan Omar, the woman who said 9-11 was some people doing something, who said the relations between Israel and America are just About the Benjamins was kicked off the Foreign Affairs Committee as is the right of the Speaker of the House and was stripped of her access to the materials you acquire as a member of that committee.
	She never should have been there.
	AOC, we played you the cut yesterday.
	Bouncing around, agitated, screaming as well.
	The former bartender.
	Somebody gave her a script to read with the fancy word stochastic in it.
	Let's listen to her on CNN trying to convince people that she actually has a double digit IQ.
	Cut 10, play cut.
	Did you feel safe sitting here with him?
	I think it's uncomfortable serving with people who engage in what many experts deem stochastic terrorism, which is the incitement of violence using digital means and large platforms so that individual themselves may not be the one that's wielding a weapon.
	Oh, stochastic terrorism!
	Mr. G, are you impressed that AOC can pronounce the word stochastic?
	Yes, and then she can even tell you what the experts say and explain it to you.
	How long do you think it took her to learn that definition?
	Uh, lots of times.
	She did it pretty good.
	She delivered that line pretty well.
	Like, it's been rehearsed a lot.
	I just love it when Tucker makes fun of it.
	He's actually done that for months now on his show.
	Stochastic terrorism!
	I think that's how he says it.
	Yeah, stochastic.
	Something that happens randomly that can be unpredictable.
	But now it's terrorism!
	Yeah, unlike the violence that is stochastically...
	Created, stochastically initiated by Democrats doing what for years on end?
	Demonizing the police.
	Because, oh, five cops being killed in Dallas, that's not a function of DNC Democrat talking points about kill the pigs, fry them like bacon.
	Or what about Supreme Court justices having their houses cased with individuals who travel the nation Carrying a Glock pistol, zip ties and a knife to kill them in their homes because they're pro-life.
	That has nothing stochastically to do with the Democrats saying on the steps of Congress, Gorsuch, Kavanaugh, you have reaped, you will reap what you have sown.
	Do you remember when Chuck Schumer said that?
	Oh, that's not stochastic terrorism.
	There's only one party in this nation that, through its rhetoric, is actually engendering violence against those it politically disagrees with, and that's the Democrats.
	Republicans.
	You can't name me one mainline Republican figure, not a kook, not a militia member, a mainline Republican individual who has carried violence against people because they're left-wing.
	You can't.
	Right.
	We've got to discuss that more, but let's talk national security.
	It's Friday.
	The one-star Pentagon spokesperson of the Air Force trying to explain why you, the American people, you don't get to know about communist Chinese spy balloons flying across America.
	Play cut.
	Is the position of the balloon classified?
	Phil, right now what we're not going to do is get into a hour-by-hour location of the balloon.
	Again, we're monitoring it closely.
	As I mentioned, right now it's over the center of the continental United States.
	That's about as specific as I'm going to get.
	I understand it might be inconvenient, but does the public not have a right to know if the balloon is over there?
	The public certainly has the ability to look up in the sky and see where the balloon is.
	Sarcastic son-of-a-bee.
	Really?
	You can go outside and look up.
	Yeah, because if I go outside here, by the nation's capital, look in the sky, I'm gonna see that child.
	It better not be coming over DC, Brigadier.
	You sarcastic cynical... You are the example of Millie's ideologically wokefied military.
	You have the right to go outside and look up.
	How is a Chinese government surveillance vessel flying over US territory?
	This was reported last night and we are told the Pentagon doesn't want to shoot it down because of the danger?
	That it might result in?
	I mean, where was it first identified?
	Wasn't it Montana, Eric?
	Where were the first reports?
	Like Montana?
	It was first identified over Billings, Montana, yes.
	OK.
	Montana has a population of less than a million people.
	I think it's like 600,000 people.
	What's it going to hit if they shoot it down?
	Is it going to hit a rock?
	I mean, seriously.
	What is Beijing thinking right now?
	Putin is giggling.
	Giggling into his hot tea.
	The mullahs in Iran are laughing at America.
	A balloon, an actual steerable balloon.
	This isn't just something wafting across America.
	It can actually be steered.
	It is spying on us right now.
	And we're letting it.
	This regime is allowing it.
	To fly over U.S.
	territory in American airspace.
	But you're not allowed to know where it is, although you're an American.
	You're taxed.
	You paid.
	You paid for every millisecond of that brigadier's life in the Air Force.
	You paid for it.
	His training.
	The uniform he's standing in.
	The officer's billets he was housed in, every time he traveled from one base to another, every time he went from one JPME educational system to the next, you paid for it.
	But how dare you?
	How dare you ask where a communist Chinese spy vessel is above the United States?
	You can go outside and look up!
	Who do you think I am?
	Do you think I actually work for you?
	I'm a member of Millie's military!
	I don't work for you!
	I work for the DNC!
	I work for the White House!
	Oh, I don't like getting pissed on Fridays.
	Fridays are fun days.
	Fridays... Ask Dr. G anything.

	The Holy Land is a life-changing destination that I promise you will never forget.
	You need to visit the biblical places and sites that are some of the holiest and most significant in world history.
	The West Bank, Jerusalem, Nazareth and Haifa are just some of the inspirational places that are breathtaking to visit.
	I can't tell you how many people I know who have been moved to tears on their first trip to Israel and who thank me for urging them to go.
	I went there recently with 350 of our listeners and I can tell you the stories of it being life-changing are legion.

	Israel.
	Exactly like nowhere else.
	holyland.israel.travel Gordon Thank you.
	I can't believe he actually said that.
	What?
	The spokesman?
	Go upstairs.
	Look up in the sky.
	Do you think the balloon's returning the documents that Biden gave them?
	No, it's got Hunter's money in it.
	10% for the big guy.
	Uh, we need to post that.
	Uh, yes.
	Uh, Chinese, Chinese, uh, Chinese balloon.
	Um, Chinese balloon over America, colon.
	Um, does Biden get 10%?
	Question mark.
	Alright.
	Mr. Chang!
	Dr. Gorka.
	You're looking very serious, which is apposite.
	Yep.
	I'm very glad you could join us today.
	I'm sure you're being torn apart by requests.
	We should turn that back on.
	No, it has glare.
	That's why we have kept these off now.
	It's a little dark on this side.
	It looks good.
	The picture and sound are great.
	Okay.
	The picture and sound are great.
	Dr. G is ready for anything on America First.
	Incredible.
	The call board is absolutely full.
	After our first guest, we will go straight to you.
	You are the most important part of the show.
	So Mike, Greg, Phil, Dave, Harry, don't go anywhere.
	Where are the ladies?
	Come on.
	833-33 Gorka.
	That's 833-334-6752.
	So excited.
	You heard our interview with Mike Lindell just two days ago.
	We were helping him launch his 2.0 MyPillow with the special cooling technology.
	I was so excited.
	Dawn at MyPillow overnighted.
	I've got two of them right now.
	He's got a BOGO offer.
	The latest.
	There's a reason he sold 71 million of the OG MyPillow.
	Now he's upgraded it with even better cooling technology.
	Get yours today.
	Get two for the price of one and up to 66% off everything else if you use my name.
	Let's have Mike's back.
	He's a great patriot.
	MyPillow.com code Gawker or just call 800-829-8468.
	That's 800-829-8468.
	829-8468-my-pillow.com, promo code G-O-R-K-A.
	You heard that outrageous clip from the Pentagon spokesman standing there in uniform saying, no, we're not going to tell you where this Chinese spy vessel is.
	You can just go outside and look up in the sky.
	The cynicism, the arrogance, nose no bound.
	Clearly one of Millie's protégés.
	What does it really mean?
	Let's talk to a person who actually cares about the truth.
	He is the man we go to when it comes to understanding our number one strategic enemy.
	He is the author of numerous works on the topic, the great US-China tech war is the most recent.
	Gordon Chang, welcome back to America First.
	Thank you so much, Dr. G. So thank you for making time for us.
	I'm sure that your boss is managing all kinds of media requests right now.
	You're being pulled in all kinds of different directions.
	First things first, let's just start with the basics.
	Why is there a Chinese surveillance balloon over U.S.
	territory, Gordon?
	Well, this is not the first one.
	We learned yesterday that this was the last of a series of Chinese spy balloons that have crossed our country, and various presidents haven't told us about them.
	So I guess the Chinese felt that they could launch another one.
	I mean, why not?
	And so that's the reason why we have this.
	And we had plenty of opportunities to shoot this down.
	This came in over Canada, traveled a very long distance over the Western Canadian provinces, where there's nobody underneath, so even more deserted than Montana.
	But the United States chose not to do that.
	And that's the part of a pattern.
	We've got leaders who have chose not to protect us.
	Let's do the red teaming exercise, which is of course the most important to try and think like our enemy.
	You're the person who understands the regime of Xi Jinping in China the best.
	I find it hard to actually get these words out of my mouth.
	When Xi Jinping in Beijing, the Politburo, the CCP, the leadership of this communist nation, Seas?
	I'm not talking about, you know, classified reports they've stolen because Eric Swalwell was sleeping with Fang Fang.
	When they see...
	But media reports, when they see the Pentagon right now saying, yes, we know there's a Chinese government surveillance balloon over America, you're not allowed to know anything about it, American taxpayers, but we're not shooting it down.
	How does the Communist Party of China and Xi Jinping look at that, Gordon?
	Yeah, this goes to the core of why this is so important.
	It's not the question of the information that they can obtain by this balloon.
	It's basically it reinforces their mentality that they can do anything they want.
	And they believe that the United States will not defend our allies and partners and may not even defend itself.
	And you know, I can say, look, the correctness of their view, I'm not going to endorse it.
	But the point is, it doesn't matter what the correctness of the view is.
	What matters is what the Chinese think.
	And Biden has reinforced in their minds that they can do what they want.
	So he has made the world far more dangerous than it had to be.
	And what about the rank confusion we evince as a nation?
	When a four-star general who's responsible for over a hundred and ten thousand troops in America releases a letter Three days ago, in which he says, I expect war with China in 2024.
	And he makes that an official pronouncement as a four-star general in the U.S.
	Armed Services.
	And then the Pentagon, as soon as it's leaked, says this does not reflect the views of the Pentagon.
	I mean, isn't that, aren't we just a laughingstock then, Gordon?
	Yes.
	I mean, and this really points to a lack of sense of urgency.
	We know that China's preparing for war.
	It has the largest military buildup since the Second World War.
	It's trying to sanction-proof its regime.
	It's mobilizing Chinese civilians for war.
	And Xi Jinping, the Chinese ruler, has appointed what people call a war cabinet.
	And yet, we Americans are just oblivious to this.
	We have an Oval Office, and we've got a Pentagon, which includes the Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin, but also the three and four stars who are not acting with a sense of urgency.
	And it was very good that General Mike Minahan, who you referred to, actually said, look, we're going to have to go to war with these guys.
	I mean, we don't know whether it's 2025, as he said, or whatever.
	But the point is, he's instilling a sense of urgency in the troops in his command, and we desperately need that.
	All right, last question.
	I know you've got so many requests on your time, so we'll release you, but if we had real leadership in the White House, like President Trump in the Pentagon, what would be the correct response, or what would be the response that sends the requisite message to Beijing and to other dictatorial regimes, Gordon?
	The first thing is we would have shot down the balloon over Canada, over uninhabited airspace.
	But the other thing that we would do, I think, at least what I would do is I'd close China's four consulates.
	I'd strip that enormous embassy in Washington just down to the ambassador.
	I would close the state banks, the Confucius Institutes, the Confucius classrooms, you name it.
	But I would get the Chinese out of our country and say, this is what we did because of one balloon.
	Imagine what we will do if you try something else.
	See, that's why we rely upon Gordon.
	That would be the correct response, and that would send the correct message, not only to the Communist Party in China, but to all those around the world who threaten U.S.
	interests.
	Follow him right now on Twitter, Gordon G Chang.
	The book is The Great U.S.-China Tech War.
	Thank you, Gordon, for taking time to talk to us today.
	That's Gordon G Chang, Gordon G Chang.
	Your questions next here On America First, your comments, 833-33-GORKA, that's 833-334-6752.
	Don't forget, if you are America First, how do you show that?

	You have America First in your pocket.
	What do I mean?
	Well, you go to SebGorkaStore.com, you check out all the Made in America gear we have there.

	Mugs as well.
	You asked for it.

	You should have that in your pocket.
	With President Trump, America First and our motto, Stay Frosty.
	All of my books are also available from Defeating Jihad.

	You can watch us at www.salemnewschannel.com and my substack is www.sebastianwalker.substack.com.
	Back with your calls.
	Title for that one.
	That would be great.
	All over one balloon.
	title for that one that would be great um all over one balloon i love it um china's balloon colon what we should what we
	what we should have done mm-hmm Clearly they were afraid of the balloon crashing down on the set of Yellowstone.
	Obviously.
	That'd be a national tragedy.
	Oh, that would be awful.
	I need to start watching that.
	It's a little bit...
	Raunchy and bad language.
	Like Breaking Bad, except in a more conservative setting, basically.
	Right.
	Oh, and of course, got to have a title for that extensive review.
	Why this is the greatest movie ever made.
	So is Blade Runner, so is Deckard a replicant?
	Blade Runner, so is Deckard a replicant?
	Doesn't he come back in the sequel and he's an old man?
	Yeah.
	So then how can he be a replicant if he's an old man?
	I thought they don't age.
	Because he could be a Nexus 7.
	I should probably check that out at some point.
	It's pretty.
	It's not amazingly complicated, but the sequel is pretty.
	Oh, can you play me cut 13?
	13.
	Yeah.
	Oh boy.
	He got elected because of me, just like Ron DeSantis, even more so, but even more so.
	But Ron DeSantis got elected because of me.
	You remember he had nothing.
	He was dead.
	He was leaving the race.
	He came over and he begged me, begged me for an endorsement.
	He was getting ready to drop out.
	He said, if you endorse me, I'll win.
	And there were tears coming down from his eyes.
	He said, if you endorse me, I'll win.
	I'll say, you know what, Ron?
	Ron was one of 150 people that was on television.
	I mean, Jim Jordan was the best, and others were great.
	But he was one of 150 that was on television, and he was supporting me on the impeachment hoax number one, and a little bit on the impeachment hoax number two.
	And I said, I don't know Adam Putnam, so we'll do it.
	So I end up doing it, and...
	He wins.
	Why is Hugh's camera so out of focus?
	What happened to the license plate?
	I was gonna ask about that, yeah.
	The focus is on the back.
	On the books, yeah, behind him.
	Oh boy.
	50 seconds.
	You wanna tee that up?
	No, I'm not gonna use it.
	I'm gonna use...
	Four and two.
	Four and two.
	Preferences, Jeff?
	Four.
	And then three.
	Okay.
	All right.
	All right.
	Yes, indeed it is, and it's also Ask Dr. G Anything Friday.
	So, Hunter Bidens, I am sure they're very expensive attorneys, are really dumb.
	They demanded the laptops back, they said they were Hunter Bidens, they're going to sue for the contents being used illegally without copyright permission, and then a few hours later they said, but that doesn't mean that the stuff on the laptop is real or that he owns them.
	They have to be like Rashida Tlaib, AOC, Hank Johnson.
	Levels of stupid.
	But it's fun because it creates issues for Joe Biden like this, where he goes against the narrative of this being the most transparent administration in American history.
	Cut four.
	So I'm heading off to Philadelphia.
	And if you want to ask me a question about the economy, but I'm not going to answer any question about anything else because you never will cover this.
	I'm not going to answer questions about anything else.
	Why?
	Is there something you have to hide?
	Or is it basically because you're senile as well?
	This is the doozy that went viral.
	As soon as I saw it, I had to ask Jeff, I had to ask my colleagues, can this clip actually be real?
	Cut to.
	More than half the women in my cabinet, more than half the people in my cabinet, more than half the women in my administration are women.
	More than half the women in my administration are women.
	Eric, what does that mean the other half are?
	I'm going to assume the other half are men, mentally ill men like Richard Levine, who think they are women.
	Oh, so he believes in only biological women.
	You hater!
	You trans hater!
	Only half of the women in your cabinet are women?
	What are the other half?
	That's a dude.
	That is going to be in the evergreen file.
	All right, guys, let's go to your calls.
	833-333-GORKIN.
	It's 833-334-6752.
	Dave in Bakersfield, California.
	Hey, Sebastian, how are you doing?
	You're the best.
	That's very kind.
	What's your question?
	What's your comment?
	As a kid, I was an Air Force pilot and Gordon Chang... As a kid?
	As a kid?
	You mean as a young man?
	Say again?
	You mean as a young man?
	Yeah, exactly.
	I'm much older, so I say that.
	There's numerous airplanes that could take down a balloon to 60,000 feet, but there's another twist I want to throw in here, and that is a way Sleepy Joe, Sloppy Joe could walk out of this is have his general say, well, we're monitoring this balloon, and it's got some interesting sensors on it.
	It's got some interesting communications equipment.
	And we're monitoring that, and if the balloon does descend down to commercial airspace below 50,000, we have a way to retrieve it, and we will, in good faith, return everything back to China.
	What will not be said is that we would love to take a look at those sensors and communication systems, and see what they're all about, rather than just shooting it down into a piece of rubble.
	Dave, you want him to say a sentence that complicated, when he can't even say half of the people in my cabinet are women?
	Well, no comment on that.
	I did not vote for him, as you probably very obviously know.
	I can tell.
	But there is another twist to it.
	But Gordon Chang's take, I can fully agree with.
	That is one way to go.
	The other way to go is you say, well, We just want to take a look at it and we'll return it back.
	I know.
	We can recover the equipment, but all we'll do is find out that it's technology that's already been stolen from us and reverse engineered.
	Dave, stay on the line.
	Let's thank you for your service.
	Let's give Dave a copy of my first book, Defeating Jihad.
	Let's go to Phil in Philly!
	Happy Friday, Phil!
	Hey, Dr. G, I don't know about shooting down that balloon.
	That could be a virus balloon right in there.
	Those sneaky suckers.
	I don't trust them as far as I can throw them.
	But, Dr. G, I came up with possibly two ways that parents throughout this country who are pulling their hair out because they have to send their kids into these indoctrination camps for eight hours a day and they're coming home just like they don't even know their kids anymore.
	Two things a parent can do.
	One, for the sexualization of those kids that's happening in the classroom or library.
	Go to the U.S.
	Attorney's office, file a criminal complaint that their child's being exposed to pornography and use the same law that keeps kids from going to see X-rated movies.
	There's a federal law in the books about that.
	Absolutely.
	And number two, on the critical race theory, when Johnny comes home depressed, doesn't fit, he's withdrawn, he's unhappy, he's mentally in pain, go to the local DA's office and file for a protection from abuse order that that teacher is mentally abusing your child.
	In both cases, a judge is going to want to hear some type of preliminary hearing.
	Bring examples in and have these teachers and these principals and these librarians explain why they're exposing these children to this level of sexualization and mental abuse.
	I love it.
	I love it.
	It really is the secret fill for how we take back the country.
	Look, we've got to get President Trump back in the White House.
	We've got to win the Senate back as well.
	But the real key is locally.
	We take back the nation locally.
	Thank you, Phil, and happy Friday!
	I'm Sebastian Gorka.
	This is America First coming to you live from just outside the insalubrious, fetid, rank, malodorous swamp that is Washington, D.C.
	from TheReliefFactor.com studios.
	Are you in daily pain?
	Have you tried everything else and failed to find relief?
	If that's the case, do what I did four years ago.
	More than four years ago, I started taking a relief factor.
	More than half a million people on our family finding daily relief from their pain.
	Not just me, but people like Reggie from Florida.

	Can you play me cut three, please?
	Three.
	Something irregular about their menstrual cycle, so we will have to investigate that down the line.
	Yeah.
	Because that is a little concerning.
	It actually shouldn't be interfering with that, so we don't really expect... It shouldn't?
	It shouldn't, no.
	But is it?
	There's something happening, but we don't always figure it out.
	Well, I mean, you're a urologist, so you must understand, like, what's going on with it, right?
	- Right, like. - So that's why I understand that it's weird. - How we don't find out that like, there's somehow this mRNA, like, being losing the body, and then it like, has, 'cause what, it has to be impacting something hormonal stuff.
	- It impact mental cycles?
	- Yeah, or like the entire next generation is like super fucked up.
	Could you imagine the standup?
	Oh my God, I'd be, I'd take Pfizer off my resume. - Unbelievable. - Mm-hmm.
	He claims he was just lying to impress a date.
	Yeah, right.
	All of these guys answer questions like they're in a deposition on these Project Veritas videos.
	It's unbelievable.
	It is pretty strange.
	How stupid are they?
	I know.
	Well, that's how you get them comfortable, I guess.
	you get them a little bit drunk and you know Play me cut 11
	again - It's of course a crime to access protected electronic information without authorization or to exceed the authorization that you do have.
	That's the part that might apply to the computer repairman.
	It can be a federal crime to steal electronic information and then profit from it, use that information.
	It's essentially like using stolen property.
	So there are a number of different potential crimes here.
	How is that a federal crime?
	Making profit from stolen property?
	What was...
	...and you can't see it.

	Greg in Arizona, line two.
	Hey, Dr. Gurka.
	You wanted a little levity today.
	This is one of the silliest phone calls I've ever made, but I did think of you this morning when I heard they were reporting there's a balloon in the air.
	No one's doing anything.
	We don't know what anybody's gonna do.
	I just got this vision of Captain Kirk sitting in, in the Starship and Wrath of Khan to saying, oh, this is damn peculiar.
	It is one of my favorite movies.
	We are definitely going to review it on the Making Movies Great Again episodes we do every Monday.
	The next one is Blade Runner.
	That's my favorite movie, but I'm a sci-fi geek, yes.
	Peculiar, damn peculiar, I would tend to agree.
	Thank you, Greg.
	Yeah, a classic movie with relevance today.
	Let's go to Mike in Scottsdale.
	Mike, happy Friday.
	Happy Friday, Dr. G. A while back you were talking about your favorite war movies.
	Yeah.
	And I think you left a couple off.
	Okay.
	Great Escape.
	Great Escape is a great movie.
	Yeah, Dirty Dozen is good.
	Dirty Dozen is a little cheap and small for me, but it's fun and a great cast.
	The trouble with The Great Escape, it's too sprawling.
	There's too many actors.
	Everybody and their grandmother wanted to be in The Great Escape, but Steve McQueen, the motorcycle jump, very cool.
	Fun kind of rainy Saturday afternoon movies, but You know, I like Where Eagles Dare.
	I like some of the ones that are a little bit more intrigue-bound.
	Clint Eastwood in a Nazi uniform undercover.
	That's very, very cool.
	But yeah, those are classics.
	Thank you, Mike.

	Let's go to Nancy Philadelphia, line 3.
	Hi there.
	I have two quick comments.
	Yes.
	The so-called balloon from China looks more to me like the Death Star from Star Wars.
	And then separately, you know, Hunter is a lawyer.
	And most lawyers would advise their clients not to keep incriminating information in a form that can show up on the front page of the New York Times or in front of a jury.
	He's also a crack addict who crashed a rental car with his dead brother's Attorney General badge and a crack pipe in it.
	He's also a sex addict who films himself with Russian prostitutes, Nancy.
	Right, but you know, he's the smartest man, Dr. Gorka, that his father has ever met.
	Right.
	And not a good lawyer.
	Which says a lot about the people Joe Biden hangs out with.
	Right, Nancy?
	Indeed it does.
	Thank you kindly.
	Yeah, the idea that he's a lawyer is kind of shocking.
	Let's go from Philadelphia to Pittsburgh.
	Harry, line three.
	Good afternoon, Dr. Gorka.
	A couple of quick comments about the balloon and then a question for Second Amendment Friday.
	Yeah.
	Okay, we might be using the technology to send them the false information.
	Are you actually trying to flatter the Biden administration, Harry?
	The guys who surrendered in Afghanistan, the guys who said it depends what size of invasion Putin's going to plan in Ukraine.
	Those guys are doing a double cross on China?
	Seriously?
	I know you're trying to entertain me, but come on, let's live in the real world.
	Okay, I forgot.
	I was trying to remember the name of the artist who did the song 99 Luftballons.
	Oh, that was Neyna.
	Neyna, 99 Luftballons.
	We should play that.
	That's a classic from my childhood.
	That was Neyna, Harry.
	Well, I was I lost my train of thought because I wanted to preface that what I was saying about the balloon was not coming from the Biden administration.
	But if you do find it, make sure you play the B side, which is in German.
	I know, I know.
	The original massive success was in German, and then it was a huge success across the continent, and then they forced her.
	She didn't speak English.
	They forced her to phonetically re-sing it in English.
	But no, I know Alex right now is on the case.
	He's going to find Nayna's 99 Luftballon and play it for us, either in German or English.
	I don't care.
	I can speak both languages.
	Thank you, Harry, for entertaining me.
	Let's go to Mike in California.
	The calls are just rolling in.
	833-33-GORKA.
	Hi, Mike.
	Hey Dr. G, happy Friday.
	Thanks.
	Had some ideas for rims for your car, have you got them yet?
	I've narrowed them down to the original, what is it, Kruger or Kroger style, so I'm trying to go OG period correct, but what do you recommend?

	First, the original GT wheels that came on the 64, 65, 66.
	Yep.

	Kreger!
	Yeah, Kreger.
	Yeah.
	The Torque Thrust by American Racing.

	Hello?
	Hey, hey, Mike, you know what?
	I've looked at these and I'm actually leaning towards the MiniLite.
	I think the MiniLite looks really good.
	They're awesome.
	They really are.
	What about, what about, and do you think in the original kind of gray or should they be in black?
	I think, but what color is your car?
	It is like deepest, deepest jet black.
	I'd go with the black because that comes with the rim is chrome.
	Dude, they are not cheap.
	No.
	Are you aware of a company called Coker Tire?
	Coker, spell it.
	C-O-K-E-R.
	C-O-K-E-R, no.
	These people are amazing.
	They will take Well, if you take a modern radial and make it look like a Firestone wide oval or a polyglot, could your polyglass GP?
	They have they have the rights.
	They can build the sidewalls the way they want them.
	I don't know if you watch the Barrett Jackson or Mecham auctions, but they're on there all the time.
	They will also build upsize rims in their original form.
	In other words, if you had like the original Mustang GT, which is a 15 inch wheel or 14 inch If you wanted it in 18, they could make it for you.
	Are you kidding?
	I'm serious.
	They're amazing companies.
	Dude, that is amazing.
	Alright, gotta go.
	Thanks, buddy.
	Dr. G.
	Is that?
	That's all.

	Wendy, Sacramento, line three.
	Well, good afternoon.
	Happy Friday.
	Greetings.
	I tried to call AT&T today and the customer service line, and normally they'll say, oh, due to high volumes, you know, anytime they do an increase or whatever.
	Well, now they cannot take our call due to an emergency.
	That's all they say.
	An emergency.
	Try again some other time.
	I wonder why that is, Wendy.
	What were you going to tell AT&T should they have picked up?
	Well, I was going to discrep my bill and tell them about the DirecTV and their censorship and stuff like that.
	I'm kind of in a bind because I have a landline that they've been trying to get me to not have for years.
	And the more they don't want me to have it, the more I want to have it.
	Because I've had it since the 60s, you know.
	You're a wise lady.
	We have a landline at home.
	Super, super important.
	Just in case.
	Just in case the next Chinese balloon isn't just a surveillance balloon.
	Know what I mean?
	God bless you, Wendy.
	Thank you for calling.
	Let's go to Lance, line 4.
	Hi, Mr. Gorka.
	How are you doing today?
	Good.
	Happy Friday.
	Yeah, happy Friday to you too.
	Hey, I was wondering, you know, all these people are talking about the balloon and they're talking about shooting it down or what to do.
	Has anybody mentioned, why not send up a drone and hook onto it and bring it back?
	Capture it?
	Yeah, I'm going to ask our buddy Jim Carufano.
	I don't know if there are a lot of drones that go at 60,000 feet.
	But yeah, we are the most innovative country in the world.
	I'm sure there's a way to somehow recover what is on that Chinese surveillance blimp or balloon.
	But yeah, drones at 60,000 feet.
	Let me look into that.
	I'm not a techie guy, but this is National Security Friday.
	And as such, we're going to ask the man Who knows?
	Jim Carafano will be in studio next.
	We're going to have Steve Bannon for the whole third hour, the manhood hour.
	It's not going to be like anything Steve's ever done before, because we're going to ask him about the war on masculinity.

	The West Bank, Jerusalem, Nazareth and Haifa are just some of the inspirational places that are breathtaking to visit.

	Switching gears, you guys see this last night, White House Chief of Staff Ron Klain officially stepped down.
	And he's going to be a little bit more.
	And during his farewell speech, he got a little emotional.
	Check it out.
	I will try to keep this brief, but I cannot promise there will not be some tears.
	This is the best job I've ever had.
	And for that, again, in the winter of 2020.
	And for that, again, in the winter of 2021.
	I'm often asked what is the best souvenir I got in two years as White House Chief of Staff.
	It's this rock.
	It's this rock.
	Biden was like, I think we made the right call.
	Someone get him into an Uber.
	Let's get you into Uber right now.
	Let's get you into Uber.
	is increasingly becoming a thing, Fascism.
	From Republican lawmakers appearing alongside Nazi apologists, to coup defenders getting plum committee assignments, to public expressions of belligerent nationalism and racism.
	We're getting a pretty clear picture of what fascism can look like in America.
	The stagnant, ineffectual party isn't just about dysfunction.
	It just isn't about failure to move an agenda.
	It's about settling a partisan score.
	That's what dictators do.
	They're worried that some of the ways we talk might be, the old language might be codifying the old attitudes, and so they want new language to signify new attitudes.
	But it's gone so far that it's a joke, it's a parody of itself all too often.
	And so even people like myself who are passionately committed to these causes, you find yourself, you're afraid to even talk on a Zoom call because you might say the wrong word and then spend 15 minutes getting lectured about how, you know, something that nobody had even heard of six months ago is now required speech in polite company.
	And it's a distraction from getting anything actually done.
	This is Second Amendment Friday on America First with Dr. G.
	Yes, indeed.
	And that is why we have fun music like the Bond theme.
	Car Firearms is fighting for America and Car Executives stand with America First and are willing to put their brand's reputation on the line to stand for our liberty.

	Alright, the laptop from hell story continues.
	Andy McCabe, the disgraced FBI senior management individual, who is now a talking head on the mainstream media, is trying to threaten the person who actually got us the information on the laptop, the owner of that repair shop.
	This is Andy McCabe, Cut 11.
	It's of course a crime to access protected electronic information without authorization or to exceed the authorization that you do have.
	That's the part that might apply to the computer repairman.
	It is also, it can be a federal crime to steal electronic information and then profit from it, use that information.
	It's essentially like using stolen property.
	So there are a number of different potential crimes here.
	Profiting from stolen properties is a federal crime.
	Since when?
	You're breaking into somebody's car and you sell the things you find inside.
	When is that a federal crime?
	And unauthorized access?
	Andy McCabe, you're a hack.
	You're a stinking putrid hack.
	We have the documents.
	Hunter Biden signed with his signature, saying, I am leaving my property here.
	If I don't collect it in 60 days, it reverts to the possession of the company where I left it.
	In his drug-addled state, he never picked up his two laptops.
	They belong to the repair shop owner.
	So either you're dumb, Or you're a hack?
	I think I know what the answer is.
	Let's go to Bill, Columbus, Ohio.
	Welcome.
	Hey, Dr. G, this is Bill in Columbus.
	How are you doing today?
	Good, good, good, good.
	You've got to turn off the radio.
	What's your question?
	What's your comment?
	Okay, hey, three points here.
	Number one, I was a Marine Corps pilot.
	Number two, as we look to pass this prologue, follow the past, Remember, we sent B-29s over here, Shima, several times before we finally sent the real one, okay?
	Yeah.
	Number three.
	I lost my track here.
	The balloon.
	What do you think about the balloon?
	Yeah, if Chinese is smart enough to get us a steerable balloon, we definitely have the technology to send up a manned balloon and capture that thing like someone said earlier you don't need to blow it up just capture it and bring it down yeah we're going to look into that that's the second person to recommend that capturing it of course would be better but doing something something is essential and we're doing nothing let's go to michelle dayton ohio line three happy friday happy friday
	dr g um yeah here in dayton at the right pat air force base you have the beautiful national air force museum and in the same hangar as the beast one stealth bomber and the sr-71 one of the best planes that One of the coolest, if not the coolest plane ever made, the Blackbird.
	Sorry, carry on.
	I would give my left arm to take a ride in one of those.
	But hanging in that same hangar are unmanned drones that the Air Force lets people see.
	What's to say we don't have an unmanned drone that they don't want us to know about that could get up there and get that balloon?
	Well, that's the question.
	That's what I don't know.
	I don't know what the ceiling for unmanned drones is.
	We need a drone expert.
	Call in.
	You can use a pseudonym, but 60,000 feet is pretty, pretty high.
	Thank you, Michelle.
	Everybody wants to talk about the balloon.
	Let's go to Scottsdale, Arizona.
	Hey, David.
	Happy Friday, Sebastian.
	Happy Friday, my friend.
	Give us your take.
	So, I don't think this is being covered in the media, but you could run this by your listeners.
	If everyone goes outside and they have a very powerful pair of binoculars like Nikons or loopholes, look for the balloon.
	You can actually see the entire Biden family going back to Beijing.
	They're in a little basket underneath.
	It's funny.
	We have an image of exactly that.
	I don't know whether you have a drone watching us here in our studio, but this is an image that was sent to me earlier today.
	You know who sent it to me.
	I presume you can't see it, but Hunter Biden is dangling underneath that balloon.
	So you are a very perspicacious individual.
	You're a wise man.
	Thank you, my friend.
	Love it, love it, love it.
	Let's continue talking about the balloon.
	Let's go to Ohio, Cosmo.
	How are you?
	Good to talk to you today.
	Welcome.
	I'm very well.
	What's your comment?
	What's your question?
	So I just have a bit of dark humor.
	The balloon's probably filled with a new variant of COVID-19 and they're hoping we shoot it down.
	You mean COVID-23, right?
	Exactly.
	Yeah.
	That is pretty dark.
	I doubt that is the case, but our lack of reaction is the main point.
	Thank you, Cosmo.
	Let's go to Michael in Denver, line 5.
	Yes, hey.
	Hallelujah, it's the first time I've ever gotten on your show.
	Well, welcome.
	Yeah, so I wanted to say something about, you know, everybody thinks that Donald Trump needs to water down what he says and say his support for everybody and all that.
	I said, at this day and time, We need him to be himself.
	We need him to be tough like he is.
	I coached high school and college football for years, and it's like football was made to toughen up young men.
	It was post-Civil War.
	A lot of times, we want to be so wimpy and just let the leftists take over everything.
	Yeah, there's a reason that we elected him six years ago, and it wasn't because he was nice.
	It's because he took a stand, because he loved this country.
	Thank you, Michael.
	All right, got to get through some cuts before we get to our special Friday guest.
	National security is always a topic with him.
	I'm sure he'll have a lot to say about a communist Chinese surveillance balloon across American airspace.
	But the left seems to have had enough with Joe Biden.
	So we just had the farewell ceremony for Ron Klein, the disastrous chief of staff for the Biden administration.
	And Jimmy Fallon, who I'm sure is not a Trump supporter, thought that Mr. Klein's farewell was hilarious.
	Play cut.
	Switching gears, you guys see this last night, White House Chief of Staff Ron Klain officially stepped down.
	And during his farewell speech, he got a little emotional.
	Check it out.
	I will try to keep this brief, but I cannot promise there will not be some tears.
	This is the best job I've ever had.
	And for that, again, in the winter of 2020.
	And for that, again, in the winter of 2021.
	I'm often asked what is the best souvenir I got in two years as White House Chief of Staff.
	It's this rock.
	It's this rock.
	Biden was like, I think we made the right call.
	Someone get him into Uber right now.
	Jeff, that's real, right?
	That's not some kind of deep fate like the ones Eric was showing me yesterday.
	That's two days in a row he made fun of Biden, because he made fun of Biden the night before, too, with different documents.
	But what was that?
	I mean, that was a grown man, right?
	Crying over his favorite rock?
	And isn't he supposed to be one of the smartest guys in the White House, too, we've heard?
	Well, allegedly he was the one that ran it.
	Yes.
	I don't think he was the guy running things.
	I don't think so either.
	Do we know where he's going?
	Eric, do you have any news?
	Where is Mr. Klein going?
	Because the guy who's coming in used to run a bagel store.
	Is he going to take over the bagel store?
	I was gonna say it's 50-50 between either some generic Soros-funded think tank position or a CNN gig.
	A CNN gig, of course.
	Of course what?
	How foolish of me.
	Ron Klein, you... Yeah.
	I think that's an indictment of the left.
	What they've done, that's not manly.
	It's not even serious.
	You don't have to not cry, but you don't pull out a pet rock when you're at the podium in the White House.
	That has to be the only time anyone in the history of the Republic has pulled out a pet pebble as they're speaking to an official audience at an official event.
	At the White House.
	It's Friday!
	It's Ask Dr. G Anything.
	It's Second Amendment.
	It's National Security.

	Jim, are you just a slacker?
	Yeah, apparently.
	Clearly a slacker.

	What has big round shape, carries man and dog and flies?
	May give up.
	What has big round shape, carries man and dog and flies?
	May not know either, but...
	There it is!
	It is balloon!
	From the TV show.
	It's F Troop from the 1960s, the sitcom.
	And you folks can watch it on YouTube.
	You have to watch it because it's hilarious.
	Guys, we've still got the studio speaker on.
	Kill it.
	And it's not funny.
	Although I was talking about this on shot today.
	It's not funny.
	No, it is funny.
	But I was talking about this on shot today and he was making fun of me.
	He says, like, you are so old.
	Nobody remembers F Troop.
	It's 1965.
	But it's not funny because that is exactly how I imagine what the White House looked like this morning.
	Oh yeah.
	Balloon!
	Just complete, you know, utter chaos.
	So when you have... Let's just play, because it horrified me.
	This is a one-star Air Force general who's asked about Americans' rights to know what the flip is going on.
	Cut five, Patrick Ryder, Brigadier Ryder.
	Is the position of the balloon classified?
	Phil, right now what we're not going to do is get into a hour-by-hour location of the balloon.
	Again, we're monitoring it closely.
	As I mentioned, right now it's over the center of the continental United States.
	That's about as specific as I'm going to get.
	I understand it might be inconvenient, but does the public not have a right to know if the balloon is over the state?
	The public certainly has the ability to look up in the sky and see where the balloon is.
	Yeah, because you can see balloons at 60,000 feet.
	So you can tell us where Santa Claus is, but you can't tell us where the balloon is.
	I mean, this is just ridiculous nonsense.
	So to me, one of the stunning things here that's come out today is they've acknowledged that the Chinese have done these balloon overflights before.
	And not just here, like in Guam, over military targets.
	In Hawaii, over military targets.
	Apparently there's one in Canada, which is where we have our strategic early warning system.
	Is this supposed to reassure us, Jim?
	Right.
	And all of a sudden, why did they tell us?
	Blinken was going to China today.
	Now, reassure me that the US government didn't know that this overflight was happening and they were sending Blinken to China and hoping that nobody actually noticed it.
	Yeah.
	So, we've had Gordon Chang on already.
	He said the right response would be to shut down some consulates, get it out of the sky.
	Technologically, do we have anything at 60,000 feet that can intercept it?
	Well, there's a couple of things that people aren't thinking about.
	One is, you release these balloons.
	These are not tethered, right?
	They're just floating.
	Right, but they say it's directionable.
	Right.
	It has some direction.
	So, there might be some capability to recover it at the end, but maybe not.
	At the end, It probably just disintegrates or self-destructs or gets guided into the sea or a mountain or something, right?
	So the Chinese clearly must have a plan to make sure that the vehicle itself is not recoverable.
	So the notion, let's just go and grab this thing.
	Maybe there's like a self-destruct order or something like that.
	The other thing is, the most valuable information that we're going to get off of that thing is probably SIGINT.
	Because remember, it's not tethered to anything.
	It's transmitted.
	It's transmitting to somebody.
	And the one thing which is, to me, completely galling is, oh, it's just a weather balloon.
	Well look, obviously we're reading signals off of this thing.
	Are those signals encoded or not?
	I want to bet you 50 bucks that they're encoded.
	And I want to bet you that there's not a weather balloon on the planet Earth that encodes its data in secret codes.
	You dealt with some very sexy stuff, nuclear artillery, when you were in the army.
	Can we hypothesize what they're looking at?
	Are they mapping power grids?
	Are they mapping military installations?
	What's of utility to the CCP?
	Well, see, this to me is the truly intriguing question.
	Because China has an exquisite and growing satellite capability, particularly in low earth orbit, which are perfect for surveillance.
	And so the question is, if they've got really good eye in the sky, what do they need this to do?
	Why do they need this?
	Now, having, you know, we should make it clear is, is, you know, we use aerostats, the Russians use them.
	You can do some pretty cool things, but they're, but they're like niche capabilities, right?
	You want a loiter in a specific place or something.
	And so the question is, is what niche thing are the Chinese looking for that they think they have to do this?
	So here's an interesting historical, you know, During the early years of the Cold War, the way we got intel on the Soviet missile fields is we flew aircraft over at such an incredibly high altitude in such a revolutionary airplane that the Russians couldn't, they would fly up and the planes would literally fall out of the sky.
	They couldn't hit us until they could hit us.
	And what was the Russian response to that?
	They didn't say anything.
	They never admitted that it was happening because they didn't want to be so embarrassed that they couldn't control their own airspace.
	We just showed the world that we cannot control American airspace.
	And that we're not prepared to take any action when something occurs.
	Did Joe Biden just not say, I care as much about the sovereignty of American airspace as I do about the sovereignty of America's border?
	Because that's what it sounds like.
	Well, that's the link.
	I mean, that's the next thing.
	I mean, is sovereignty a thing for this administration, whether it's airspace or whether it's territorial sovereignty?
	Look, I mean, here's the one thing that I think that this demonstrably demonstrates and that people really have to understand.
	Biden's strategy for China is completely unworkable.
	It's based on this premise, you know, we compete where we must, but cooperate where we can.
	That we're going to find some way to kind of accommodate and work with each other.
	And the reality is, is China's an adversarial nation, that their ultimate goal is the downfall of the United States of America.
	Biden cannot have it both ways.
	He can't be tough on China and not tough on China.
	But he's living in the 1990s where he thinks that he can.
	And we have the completely contradictory message that they're not our adversary.
	And then when he's on the campaign trail.
	And then once he's in the White House, he gives the press away.
	He says they're going to eat our lunch.
	Well, well, well, which is it?
	Not our adversary?
	Or going to eat our lunch?

	Who was that on?
	Sean Hannity on the radio.
	Oh, funny.
	It was funny.
	I looked it up on YouTube and it popped right up.
	It was like boom.
	I bet.
	I bet.
	I'm going to send you some photographs for our two-way guest.
	Yep.
	It's just confusion.
	But you know, really, it's such mixed messages to our allies.
	It's just confusion.
	Half of them are ready to move on from China, and we're being idiots.
	And the other half, like Germany, well, we are, China is our strategic, it is our economic partner, a strategic competitor, and a potential adversary.
	What the hell does that mean?
	How could you be all three of those things?
	It's just nuts.
	Confusion, confusion, confusion.
	Confusion, confusion.
	Can you play cut 13 again, the whole thing? the whole thing?
	13.
	He got elected because of me, just like Ron DeSantis, even more so, but even more so.
	But Ron DeSantis got elected because of me.
	You remember he had nothing.
	He was dead.
	He was leaving the race.
	He came over and he begged me, begged me for an endorsement.
	He was getting ready to drop out.
	He said, if you endorse me, I'll win.
	And there were tears coming down from his eyes.
	He said, if you endorse me, I'll win.
	I'll say, you know what, Ron?
	Ron was one of 150 people that was on television.
	I mean, Jim Jordan was the best, and others were great.
	But he was one of 150 that was on television, and he was supporting me on the impeachment hoax number one, and a little bit on the impeachment hoax number two.
	And I said, I don't know Adam Putnam, so we'll do it.
	So I end up doing it, and he wins.
	They say it was like a bomb went off.
	Just a bomb just totally went off.
	From the moment I endorsed him, he went from losing by numbers that are not catchable to winning easily.
	Is it your position, Mr. Trump, that if you... Then I got him past the crackhead, who was the hottest person in the entire Democrat Party at the time.
	All righty.
	70 seconds.
	I'm sending you two photographs.
	I got the first one in the desert.
	I'm gonna use them in reverse order.
	Me first, and then me with Nate.
	You got it.
	One minute.
	And you said you wanted to use Cut7 here with Jim?
	I'll tee it up, yeah.
	Yep.
	Actually, I'm going to resend that new one.
	Oh, okay.
	I'm slightly focused in, so forget the second one.

	Heritage dot O-R-G-G.
	Jim, you're a 501c3, you're a foundation, you don't do politics, but your identity is conservative.
	We've talked about how other nations look at us in response to the balloon whatever story.
	I've got to ask you, how do other nations look at us when somebody who says they're a conservative, was a former chairman of the RNC, says something like this and uses the word fascism in the current context?
	Play cut.
	But you know what is increasingly becoming a thing?
	Fascism.
	From Republican lawmakers appearing alongside Nazi apologists, to coup defenders getting plum committee assignments, to public expressions of belligerent nationalism and racism.
	We're getting a pretty clear picture of what fascism can look like in America.
	The stagnant, ineffectual party isn't just about dysfunction.
	It just isn't about failure to move an agenda.
	It's about settling a partisan score.
	That's what dictators do.
	That's the former chairman of the RNC, Michael Steele.
	From a foreign policy perspective, what ramifications are there where the former head of a party says, my party is dictatorial and fascist?
	Well, you know, it's funny that you ask that question, because I was just in two different capitals in Europe.
	And in the last two days, I hosted Heritage.
	We hosted 160 different international visitors in two days.
	So I've had a lot of conversations.
	Did they all think that you were a bunch of fascists?
	Well, this is the thing.
	There are two minds.
	One is, when they hear that, they're saying, that's just crass, partisan, ugly politics.
	They see through it.
	And so, for example, in Italy, where when the prime minister is elected, the first thing they said is, oh, this woman's a fascist.
	Where, demonstrably, her government is not a fascist.
	It's not extremist.
	As a matter of fact, the Italian people as a whole, when the election happened, that was the opposition's line.
	Oh, she's a fascist.
	And it just fell flat.
	And so they say, oh yeah, they come after you just like they come after us. - Oh, interesting. - The other half just tend to mirror image, who share politics with people like George Sorrenton, They just mirror images.
	So I had a group come in and they said, we just got a briefing from, I don't want to tell you the name of the think tank, but it was a German Marshall Fund.
	And they talked about, they briefed us on the rise of radical right violent extremists in the United States.
	And they said, what do you think about that?
	And I said, I think that's partisan hogwash.
	I was a member of the Homeland Security Advisory Council when Chad Wolf was the acting secretary.
	They did a deep dive on this.
	They showed us all the data that they had.
	And it's very clear that's not true.
	Whatever you think of January 6th, it was not the result of some organized political violent extremist movement in the United States.
	And the fact that we haven't had a January 6th since January 6th.
	So let me ask, because we've only got like a minute and a half left.
	What does that do for America?
	So that level of confusion where you either have people who say, hey, I can relate to you, buddy, because they do that to us, or people who are just regurgitating hack political talking points.
	What does that mean for national security and foreign policy?
	It creates a lot of discord, because what we're actually doing is mirroring what we've seen one another, and we're not pulling together as free people dealing with the problems of China, Russia, and Iran.
	When Biden says China's a problem and then he turns around and says China's not a problem, well, for Europeans, for example, that know that China's a problem and they're kicking them out of their country, what are they supposed to take?
	And for Europeans who want to do nothing about China because they're making money off it, what are they supposed to make?
	So the one thing we're not getting from Joe Biden is real leadership.
	30 seconds.
	What country gets China that's impressed you inside NATO, outside of NATO?
	I'll give you a good example, which is Greece, which is a small country.
	We all think, you know, they bought the port and everything else.
	Well, the Greeks have bailed on BRI, they bailed on the cooperative 17 plus 1 thing.
	Yeah, the Chinese own a port because the European Union made them sell the port.
	So they sold the port to the Chinese.
	So actually not an important, all that important a port.
	The Chinese bought a bunch of land and they said, oh, we want to expand the port.
	And the Greek government said, nope, sorry, can't do that. - So the Greeks get it. - Right, so the Greeks get it.
	And they actually have a big port, which is incredibly strategically important.
	And you know what else they have?
	An MOU with the United States that allows the United States military to operate out of that port.
	Nice!
	I'm going to look into that.
	See, you ask an interesting question, you get a fascinating answer.

	Alright, how many weeks has it been?
	Mr. G, when did we get back from the deserts of Vegas?
	It feels like a long time ago.
	I think it was only two weeks ago.
	Are you kidding?
	Are you kidding?
	Have you recovered?
	Yes, I no longer have the flu.
	I didn't mean literally recovered because it's it's well you're not a big gun guy I gotta teach you to shoot we gotta take you and your bride we gotta go shooting but for me it's a kid in a candy store and I absolutely love it why because you get to play with all the new guns and you get to meet amazing people One of whom hosted us at his special event.
	He's from a rather special company called Staccato STI as was and he's with us right now.
	Nate Horvath, welcome back to America First!
	Dr. Gorka, thanks for having me on.
	Always a pleasure to be here with you.
	Have you recovered from Vegas and all the amazing hosting you did there?
	Getting there slowly.
	Just digging out.
	It was an amazing SHOT Show.
	Probably one of the best ever in terms of energy, enthusiasm, number of people there, and how things went for us.
	Alright, well let me show you a couple of images from what we did there.
	So there's this amazing thing, the Media Day, with hundreds of weapons you can try out before the SHOT Show opens.
	And then, instead of that range, some of the really important manufacturers also have their private events.
	And so did Staccato.
	And here we are with Nate and a couple of my other podcast buddies at the Private Range event where we got to try out the latest product.
	Let's put it, it kind of, I'm six foot three and a hundred, two hundred and, what am I, 230 pounds now.
	This gun is even hard to see.
	It looks about the size of my zipper puller on my jacket.
	This is a new Staccato CS.
	It's tiny!
	It's the new baby Staccato.
	I got to try it out.
	A lot of buzz, a lot of interest.
	Tell us about the response to this new baby of the Staccato line, Nate.
	Gosh, it's the most popular gun we've ever introduced.
	Really?
	It really is.
	It takes all of the staccato performance and brings it into a small package that's easy to carry.
	But the beauty of it is, and you got a chance to experience it firsthand, it doesn't shoot.
	It shoots like a full-size gun.
	Yeah.
	It really does.
	And it's incredible for a small compact carry gun to shoot the way it does.
	Now, let me just, you know, verify what these people make, because they used to be race gun manufacturers.
	This is one of my staccatos, and this is the group I shot with it.
	Yes, I string it a bit because of my trigger control.
	That's a one-hole group.
	That is a one-hole group with, I think, that's the XC.
	As I was preparing for this interview, Nate, and I was noodling with my staccatos at home, the thing that came to me, and maybe you can help me out here, kind of blows my mind that the 1911, not that it's still with us, but that it's back, and with products like yours, It's the hot thing and it's more than a hundred years old.
	Can you explain that for me, Nate?
	Yeah, I think it's just continued evolution and improvements.
	The 1911 has been a gun used in many, many, many wars, as you know.
	It's a very reliable workhorse, always has had an excellent trigger, really fun gun to shoot.
	Striker fired guns came out when Glock introduced theirs and many copycats of that, and they kind of held the day for A couple of decades, but with the introduction of the 2011 and what we've done with the platform, sort of bringing us to the next level and shooting better than those polymer striker fired guns.
	So people are enjoying getting back into the single action triggers and shooting the pistol.
	So I think we're seeing a resurgence because of the performance that has been brought back to the platform and the improvements that we've made in it.
	Now, one of the instructors, one of the guests you had there was an off-duty officer from a very large police department.
	He let me shoot his carry gun that was all tricked out with a different recoil spring.
	It had a lighter and everything else.
	Give me the shocking figure.
	How many police departments have approved your 2011 cocked and locked weapon right now, Nate? 902.
	That's stunning, truly stunning.
	So, this is no longer a line of weapons that is high-end competitive shooter, and it's not just law enforcement.
	With the latest CS, this is for anybody, correct?
	Absolutely.
	Now, we've taken the performance that we brought into the law enforcement market and added the durability, and now we've put it in a platform that's available for everyday carry.
	And I don't want you to give away anything before, you know, you're ready to, but you have some exciting plans for Staccato, don't you?
	You want to be more than just a weapons manufacturer, is that correct?
	Absolutely.
	Yeah, we want to provide folks with the experiences to Not only have a pistol, but be able to learn how to use it properly.
	So we're getting into training and doing a lot more on that front as well.
	All right.
	Well, we can't wait as soon as you're allowed to talk about it in a little bit more leisurely fashion.
	You've got my number.
	You've got Jeff's number.
	In the meantime, guys, look at this whole look at the shot group of this My personal staccato.
	No, the Shot Group guys.
	That's human beings.
	We don't shoot those unless they're nasty.
	That's how good these things are.
	And the latest one is tiny.
	It's miniscule.
	It's the CS.
	Look at that little baby.
	So cute.
	Thank you, Nate Holvat.

	Here's looking at you, Snowflake.
	America first.
	Welcome back, dear friends.
	Welcome back.
	He was on my colleague, Hugh Hewitt's show, and he discussed the... Is it generated?
	Is it fake?
	Is it artificial?
	Ron DeSantis versus DJT story.
	Let's listen to my former boss, President Trump.
	He got elected because of me, just like Ron DeSantis, even more so.
	But even more so, but Ron DeSantis got elected because of me.
	You remember he had nothing.
	He was dead.
	He was leaving the race.
	He came over and he begged me, begged me for an endorsement.
	He was getting ready to drop out.
	He said, if you endorse me, I'll win.
	And there were tears coming down from his eyes.
	He said, if you endorse me, I'll win.
	I'll say, you know what, Ron?
	Ron was one of 150 people that was on television.
	I mean, Jim Jordan was the best and others were great.
	But he was one of 150 that was on television, and he was supporting me on the impeachment hoax number one, and a little bit on the impeachment hoax number two.
	And I said, I don't know Adam Putnam, so we'll do it.
	So I end up doing it, and he wins.
	They say it was like a bomb went off, just a bomb just totally went off.
	From the moment I endorsed him, he went from losing by numbers that are not catchable to winning easily.
	Is it your position, Mr. Trump, that if you...
	Then I got him past the crackhead, who was the hottest person in the entire Democrat Party at the time.
	The crackhead.
	He's talking about Gilliam there, of course.
	Hugh didn't look very happy there.
	He looked a little bit nervous there.
	Mr. G, what do you think?
	Ron DeSantis was weeping for the endorsement.
	What do you think?
	Maybe, but honestly, that wasn't the best attack on Ron.
	What is the best?
	Just gotta hit him that he's a politician and stuff.
	Because people like Ron.
	And I think that's gonna turn people off.
	You gotta hit him with... You gotta change the way that people think about Ron.
	You gotta put him into the right category.
	Exactly.
	That he's a typical politician establishment and he's not a MAGA guy.
	He's an imitator.
	Oh, that's it.
	We've got fake news, and he's fake MAGA.
	Exactly.
	Bingo.
	Somebody else who's a real politician, comes from a political dynasty, is Sununu, the governor of New Hampshire, Chris Sununu.
	And he was challenged on TV concerning what he said about President Trump.
	And his response, not very mature.
	Cut sex!
	I'm a Republican.
	I'm going to support the Republican nominee because I can guarantee you they're better than any of the Democrats that would likely sit in that presidential seat.
	Even if it's Donald Trump?
	Yeah, I don't think it's going to be Donald Trump, but yeah, I'm going to support the Republican nominee to be sure.
	Because, I mean, I think that you did at a dinner call Donald Trump effing crazy.
	Yeah, that was funny.
	It was a roast.
	It was a funny joke.
	No, Chris Anunu.
	It wasn't funny.
	It was a glimpse into who you are.
	You're a fraud.
	You're a fake.
	I don't think it's going to be President Trump.
	Based on what?
	Based on your establishment connections?
	Based upon Ken Griffin's billions?
	Next, the man who knows.
	My former boss in the White House, Stephen K. Bannon, for a whole hour.
	It's the manhood hour.
	Stay tuned.
	You don't want to miss a second.
	You don't want to miss a second.
	You don't want to miss a second.
	You don't want to miss a second.
	You don't want to miss a second.
	You don't want to miss a second.
	You don't want to miss a second.
	You don't want to miss a second.
	You don't want to miss a second.
	You don't want to miss a second.
	Because he needs to.
	There's a thing I have to change, but as soon as Alex, I think next week he's going to get the second computer switched over.
	For the views, all your intro and stuff like that.
	And then it will be permanent.
	Oh, great.
	All right.
	So who's, who's, uh, okay.
	Oh, that's, oh, this is the 32nd.
	We need the 62nd.
	Yeah.
	So just roll it to 30.
	Okay.
	Ready?
	Okay.
	All right.
	Okay.
	There is simply no other experience in the world like there is when you travel to Israel.
	The Holy Land is a life-changing destination that I promise you you will never forget.
	You need to visit the biblical places and the sites that are some of the holiest and most significant in world history.
	The West Bank, Jerusalem, Nazareth and Haifa are just some of the inspirational places that are breathtaking to visit.
	I can't tell you how many people I know who have been moved to tears on their first trip to Israel and who thank me for urging them to go.
	To find out more about Israel, visit holyland.israel.travel.
	Israel, exactly like nowhere else.
	holyland.israel.travel.
	Thank you.
	Welcome, dear friends.
	You're listening to America First One on One.
	What is a honey badger?
	I have a honey badger gun.
	It's one of the coolest weapons made in America, in New Hampshire actually.
	But originally it was an animal that I was unaware with, until I started working for a certain iconoclastic individual.
	called Stephen K. Bannon, who is known amongst those of the shire, the hobbits, as the Honey Badger.
	Let's show the world what a Honey Badger looks like.
	This is the Honey Badger.
	And there's a phrase I have to edit for the FCC.
	The Honey Badger don't give a beep.
	And that really could be the motto of the man who is described as the honey badger, my former boss at Breitbart, my former boss in the White House, chief strategist of President Trump in the West Wing, Stephen K. Bannon.
	Welcome to America First.
	Honored to be on my deputy's show.
	Nicely done.
	When did you get the moniker, Honey Badger?
	I'm curious.
	Who christened you Honey Badger?
	It's when that video came out.
	I don't know, somebody... Oh, of the Honey Badger being bitten by the snake.
	The video, Honey Badger, that was the seventh minute it was, Hostler.
	Somebody said it, I think it was around the time Bloomberg, Bloomberg did a cover story On me back in, I think, 14, said the most dangerous man in America or something, most dangerous political operative about Breitbart.
	And I think it was during that time.
	All right, guys, you've got to go online.
	You've got to find the video.
	The Honey Badger is famous for being basically immune to all venom.
	And it's bitten by a cobra 27 times and just takes a little nap and then wakes up about 10 minutes later, shakes himself off and goes back to what he was doing.
	It's also not the smartest animal in the animal kingdom, but... It's probably the toughest.
	It's probably the toughest, so just take it.
	To most relentless, let's say this, the honey badger will never give up.
	Yeah, yeah, just take the compliment.
	All right, we want to invite you to talk about the Manhood Hour, which is our weekly analysis of the war on Western civilization, especially the masculine aspects of Western civilization.
	But first, we've got to talk politics because of the war room and everything that you've done.
	So first things first, a little cut of you that went viral from the war room a few days ago.
	Play cut.
	I also want to make sure the audience don't... I have... I expressed them a little bit on John Frederick today.
	There's a lot to talk about about the RNC.
	So just take... I understand you guys are still worked up.
	Whatever you do, don't send them any money.
	Just take a deep breath.
	There's going to be a program and a plan for all of it.
	Just take a deep breath.
	But what happened in Maine and what happened in Arizona are quite important.
	They've taken back these state parties, the precinct strategy, all of it.
	So Rona's back in.
	She says she's not going to run again, so she's back there for a couple of years.
	You said, don't give them any money.
	We have a plan.
	When people call into my show saying, should I give money to the GOP?
	I say, no, never.
	Give it either to President Trump's PAC or give it to individual candidates.
	You just teased all of the War Room listeners.
	What's the plan, Steve?
	We want to know.
	The plan is, here's what I know, this is not about Rana.
	It is about something deeper than that.
	I think I had the opportunity to actually sit through and see and watch the entire event on Friday.
	We took a bunch of time and watched it because, you know, Pete Carolyn Wren was there and you had people there, right?
	You had people at the RNC in California.
	But then I watched it on, I watched the C-SPAN.
	I just saw the committee and it's nothing.
	It's student council.
	If you remember back to your course, you were in school in England, uh, Seb, but here for folks in the United States that went to like junior high school or high school, it was student council meets the theater club.
	It's not, it's not, it's not serious.
	They're not serious people.
	The whole thing's a joke.
	And I think every, just full stop, just don't hit them with any money, particularly on the small donors, the small donors or anything.
	And there's a plan of several people or other things are come up and I think give alternatives to that.
	Some combination of, I don't know, things are being worked on, but they are not worthy of your money.
	That, let me just be blunt.
	And this has nothing to do with RANA.
	It's, it's much more systemic.
	At first, I thought, you know, if Rana gets removed, or if, you know, Harmeet gets in, or Mike Lindell gets in, it's much more systemic than that.
	And this was—people should just go back and watch the—don't take my word for it.
	You know, this weekend, leisurely at night, replay the—what happened at Dana Point for a couple hours.
	You can see these committee reports and everything.
	It's just a joke.
	It's not worthy of one's time.
	And we've got to sort it out.
	Right, two big issues I want to talk to you about before we get to the civilizational questions.
	One, a bone I wish to pick with you about personnel policies and what we're going to do in 24.
	But first, the seminal... I think the thing that defines Bannon for me most is what you said to CPAC once we'd taken over the White House.
	And this was the kind of the red pilling of all patriots.
	And this clip Here's where it's going to get worse.
	Because he's going to continue to press his agenda.
	And as economic conditions get better, as more jobs get better, they're going to continue to fight.
	If you think they're going to give you your country back without a fight, you are sadly mistaken.
	Every day.
	Every day it is going to be a fight.
	And that is what I'm proudest about Donald Trump.
	All the opportunities he had to waver off this.
	All the people who have come to him and said, oh, you've got to moderate.
	Every day in the Oval Office, he tells Reince and I, I committed this to the American people, I promised this when I ran, and I'm going to deliver on this.
	They're not going to give you back America without a fight.
	The elite, the Uniparty, the Deep State, without a fight.
	Steve, since you gave that speech, things have qualitatively and quantitatively gotten worse.
	We look at 2020, we look at the assault on you, Navarro, Kash Patel, the Deep State, DOJ, FBI, the raid at Mar-a-Lago.
	Can you give us the SITREP, as a former naval officer, the gradations of how worse it has become since you gave that warning to America?
	I would actually disagree.
	I think it's become much better, and here's why.
	I think the enemy is now fully identified, and we have these conversations every day.
	When I walked on that stage, and remember, a few minutes later, I broke it down into three categories.
	One, about putting in the economic nationalism in the economy.
	Number two was America First, national security policy.
	And number three, wait for it.
	Deconstruct the administrative state.
	And the media goes, what is he talking about?
	And of course, all the people at CPAC and the bib overalls, they're high-fiving and know exactly what it is.
	Look, right now in Congress, we have Trumpified Congress.
	We have MAGA.
	This is a MAGA house.
	Yes, you have moderates.
	You have some of the old Republican Party.
	But every day, even as we speak here, the other day, you had Omar booted after this very dramatic presentation by AOC and all these left-wing Democrats.
	We're on the march.
	Now, the fight is much tougher.
	Instead of hiding behind a dossier or Comey, they're up in your face.
	They're arresting Mark Hoke.
	He got arrested with 35 state troopers and FBI guys with their guns pulled to drag him out of his house after saying the rosary.
	The battle's very pitched, but this is how battles are.
	Remember, in World War II, since we're near the 80th anniversary of Stalingrad, World War II was not the good war.
	Don't believe that aspect.
	Yes, the greatest generation were fantastic.
	But when you look at the real war, when you look at the totality of the war, it went up in levels of annihilation.
	And it was so brutal, so inhumane, so You know, over the top as far as destruction goes.
	And that's how war goes.
	Right now, we're in another phase of this war.
	And so, yes, is it tougher now?
	It is tougher because they were so shocked by President Trump winning.
	They didn't think we were going to win.
	We snuck up on him.
	Well, this is the point.
	This is the point.
	That it's worse because in 2015, they didn't take us seriously.
	They thought this was a joke.
	They thought this was a promotional gag for President Trump.
	They didn't take us seriously on the evening of the morning of the 9th when we won, Seb, and they didn't do no for transition.
	You were there when we first got there.
	They didn't take us seriously.
	Right.
	But now the target has been identified and the guys in the ceramic-plated, you know, armored vests with the M4s are raiding Mar-a-Lago.
	So the boldness of the permanent bureaucracy, the administrative state, is the worst it's ever been, Steve.
	Because the gloves are off now.
	But in that regard, that's, I think, is the beginning of victory.
	Because people are going to sit there and go, I didn't sign up for this.
	These people are out of control.
	Is it going to be tough?
	We're going to have to convince people.
	We're going to have to show them.
	But every day, whether it's the vaccines, whether it's the invasion on the southern border, whether it's the Federal Reserve being out of control with the printing of the money, Right?
	This out-of-control spending, whether it's this out-of-control situation in Ukraine.
	You can pick everything.
	And remember, when they knew we were serious, Seb, is when you guys worked—you worked at the National Security Council and came out with Trump's first national security doctrine and strategy for the first time, said the CCP I think if you go back and look, we're winning all the time.
	These wins are very tough, and they come at a high cost.
	power conflict.
	We got back out of the jihad.
	That's when the deep state said, "Hey, these guys are serious about taking on China, and we got to thwart them every step of the way." So no, I think if you go back and look, we're winning all the time.
	These wins are very tough, and they come at a high cost.
	But if you want to take your country back, you want to turn it back into a constitutional republic, this is what has to happen.
	All right, last question before we transition to the civilizational issues.
	Whenever I come on your show and I interview you, I try and ask you about the personnel issue, because it's not a joke, you know it as well as I do.
	When we walked into the White House, there were less than 20 of us in senior positions who were true MAGA, understood what America First meant, and wanted to be loyal to the vision of those who elected the President.
	Half of those people aren't going to come back because they're sane.
	So you say people are working on personnel.
	I've talked to Mark Meadows.
	I've talked to others.
	I don't see real traction being built on personnel to fill those 4,000 positions.
	Am I wrong, Steve?
	Yeah, I think so.
	Tell me what's happening.
	No, I think behind the scenes you've got many of these groups.
	You've got this one group that's been started that is former Trump people and people that are associated with Trump that are getting people in kind of verticals and expertise in their expertise areas to work on this.
	Look, it's not do we have To fill the 4,000 billets—and let's just take, I think, the 3,000 that are non-Senate-confirmed—to fill those 3,000 billets, do we have 3,000 people signed up right now and doing this?
	The answer is no.
	But are there people that we're building to this?
	Yes.
	And I don't think we'll have the—I don't think we're going to have a problem, Seb, in putting landing teams, you know, landing teams, beachhead teams, and fully putting in the different cabinet positions, and not just that, walking in with you guys in a full contingent Either the Pentagon, if you go there, the intelligence agency, if you go there, or most importantly, the National Security Council.
	So no, I feel on that level, I feel that we're getting the work done.
	And remember, you're going to have more and more people sign up and come on board when it looks more evident to some outsiders that President Trump is not only going to win the nomination, but going to rewind the White House.
	We have to build it now and he needs a serious chief of staff.
	I don't see that right now.
	Maybe I'll ask you later about how relations are between you and our former boss, but let's transition in the meantime.
	I think the relations are great.
	I think he's a huge fan of the war room.
	If you see his videos, I would say that content is pretty consistent with the war room.
	You could plug Trump's videos in and he could be co-host.
	By the way, I think the videos are very strong.
	I mean, I think you're seeing... They're getting better.
	They're getting better.
	The transgender one was superb.
	Yes, and I think you're seeing that he's coming out every couple of days.
	He's kind of into it.
	It's a couple of minutes long, and that's all you need.
	Just put it out there.
	You're starting to build policy, and you'll build people around that.
	So I think we're in a... And by the way, I thought Saturday, I thought the speeches and the content part Was very strong.
	I think you're starting to see some policies develop.
	Look, he's taken the boldest policy of any national figure on the Ukraine war.
	I mean, the Ukraine war is crickets.
	You're not really having a debate up here.
	All right.
	Yeah, I wanted to transition.
	But on this, I got one last question.
	And it's warroom.org.
	I'm on there every Thursday with Steve.
	I keep getting this on my social media, on Truth Social, on Twitter, you know, The Hobbit saying, oh my gosh, but he's so pro-vaccine and he's losing the base.
	I think that's a misrepresentation.
	He never forced the vaccine on anybody.
	Is this an issue he's going to have to address in the next few months?
	Yeah, the New York Times quoted me the other day in this huge article, Jonathan Swan and others wrote, I said the VAX is going to be a big issue.
	And President Trump didn't put any mandates in there.
	He fought against those mandates.
	It was all after Biden.
	However, I think we have to, I think people have to appreciate the fact That two-thirds to 75% of the MAGA base is not vaccine-hesitant anymore.
	They're anti-vax.
	You know, this has gone through an arc, and as we, you know, our book now is number three, I think.
	We've sold 10,000 copies of this, just the research we've done with Naomi Wolf.
	They told us today we've sold 10,000 copies of this just Self-publishing it and putting it up on Amazon, and this is all the research reports on Pfizer.
	So no, I think that the entire situation on the vaccine—and most importantly, what's the plan going forward, right?
	What's the plan going forward?
	President Trump never forced anybody to take the vaccine.
	He was long gone before that stuff ever—before Biden and these guys ever got there and got to the mandatory vaccine.
	I also think, you know, DeSantis hasn't been totally You know, up front, I think you can look at DeSantis, the arc with DeSantis all changed when Dr. Lapidot came on, the great doctor from Harvard.
	He's an extraordinary individual and I hope that, I know he's very close to Ron DeSantis and they've been a terrific team down there.
	I would hope he would be very open to be either head of HHS or Surgeon General under President Trump because I think he's one of the most gifted guys in the country.
	Even the arc of DeSantis you can see change when Dr. Lapidot got there.
	We have to work through the vaccine situation.
	But he has to say something.
	Well, I don't know if he has to say something, but I think, first off, just drop, it saved 100 million people.
	I think that's gotta be, we should drop that and kind of move on to the next topic.
	Is the Naomi Wolf thing, is it the bodies of others?
	Is that what you're talking about?
	Is that the Naomi Wolf book?
	That's Naomi's personal book.
	If you go to Amazon, you'll see the War Room, Daily Clout compendium of the, I think it's called the Pfizer research.
	Here's what happened.
	Pfizer, the FDA ruled And I think it was after President Trump was around, but the FDA made a decision that all the Pfizer documentation and all the research they were doing around the vaccine would be sealed for 75 years.
	As you remember the famous phrase from Earl Warren about the Kennedy files, not in our lifetime will we know this because the files will be sealed for 70, 75 years.
	A individual, in fact I think it's Adele Bigtree and his crew, took that to a federal court and got a federal judge to reverse it.
	That opened up all the research they had done on this vaccine on humans.
	All the testing I think on humans and also mice and monkeys and primates, things like that.
	That is now a compendium, and I recommend everybody get it and read it.
	Your head will blow up.
	I've got it right now.
	It's called Pfizer Documents Investigation Team, or it's by them.
	It's War Room Daily Clout Pfizer Documents Analysis Reports.
	Here's what happened.
	We ought to get Naomi on your show. 3,500 of the war room posse volunteered.
	What happened is, we had this, it had to be crowdsourced.
	They volunteered, Naomi's team, Amy Kelly, put together a group of professionals and doctors and specifically lawyers, about 250 lawyers.
	And they've gone through here, they've put out now 54 reports.
	And they're pretty brutal.
	But it's just off the facts that are in the Pfizer documents.
	So it's a pretty brutal.
	And people have a huge appetite for this.
	Yeah, they do.
	He's former Chief Strategist to the 45th President of the United States.
	He's the scourge, the honey badger scourge of the deep state.
	There's a reason why.
	Thanks to Steve, we understand.
	That products like this I am shamelessly going to plug jointly with Chris Plant.
	We came up with... I've got to get Steve one of these.
	It is the hottest selling item on our website.
	The FBI, the Fascist Bureau of Intimidation.
	We can't print these fast enough.
	Steve, you will be receiving one at the embassy imminently.
	Alright guys, let's roll!
	Let's do it!
	The Manhood Hour.
	Roll tape.
	It's really fun
	to dedicate an hour each week to the celebration of toxic masculinity and how it has built Western civilization because we get to pick all kinds of guests, whether it's former SEALs like Jack Carr, the author of The Terminal List, whether it's Victor Davis Hanson, or whether founders the author of The Terminal List, whether it's Victor Davis Hanson, or whether founders of Delta And sometimes we go out of left field and we say, yeah, there's a guy who Hmm.
	He fights until the bitter end, and I'm sure he's got something to say about it, whether it is related to the fourth turning or not.
	My former colleague, my former superior at Breitbart and in the White House, former chief strategist to the 45th President of the United States, host of the War Room, Steve Bannon.
	Welcome to the Manhood Hour.
	Thank you.
	Honored to be here.
	All right, so you know my wife, Katie.
	She was a presidential appointee at DHS.
	She helped me birth this special we do every week on America First.
	And I have five questions from the boss that I will give to my former boss.
	First question, is masculinity, is manhood under assault in Western civilization?
	Well, there's no doubt.
	The father, whether it's the Catholic Church, teaching now to go basically against the Father, whether it's the, you know, the liberal, the progressive part of the Catholic Church, where all civilization is focused on getting the Father out of people's lives.
	And we've seen the results of that in young boys, right, in the crisis we have.
	But it's difficult.
	It's difficult to raise boys in this modern world.
	And you've seen the focus on taking men out of Out of a boy's lives.
	And I also think that there's, on the reverse, I think there is a cartoonish, what Hollywood and the left have put up, is a cartoonish version of manhood.
	Kind of the superhero, comic book, Rambo type of manhood, which is not, to me, what masculinity is not, right?
	It's a much more complicated and, you know, you know it when you see it, but I think they put in a version that also takes these young boys that are essentially fatherless and let them look up to an ideal that's really not real and not productive and not healthy.
	Now, what is the locus, to use a military term, what is the center of gravity for this assault?
	Now, you're an expert on the New Left, the Frankfurt School, the Alinskyite tactics.
	There are so many vectors of attack against the masculine ideal that built Western civilization.
	Where do you put the Clausewitz in center of gravity?
	Is it the schools, the universities, the media?
	Is it TikTok?
	Is it the remnants of the Frankfurt School?
	I think those are all manifestations.
	I think when you talk about masculinity, you have to pull back.
	And I said this, I think, also in a Bloomberg interview a couple of years ago, after one of the Golden Globes.
	This was at the Me Too and the Time Out movement.
	The focus—and it's not that guys didn't do terrible things, and they did do terrible things—is that this was to get rid of the patriarchy.
	In this regard, I think it's actually broader than the Judeo-Christian West.
	I think there's an overall assault of where, intellectually, they think that these societies that are patriarchal are inherently, systemically evil, and that that patriarchy—it's the patriarchy, it's the whole issue of man and manhood
	That has to be taken on and destroyed, and the manifestations of that you see in, you know, whether it's education, whether it's in current popular culture, television, whatever you want it to say, right?
	You see it throughout there.
	So, no, I think it is an assault on the patriarchy, and what they do is identify this thing called toxic masculinity, and they go after it, you know, hammer and tongue, and what you end up with—remember that commercial?
	We were at Breitbart at the time.
	During Obama's year, they had Pajama Boy.
	Yes.
	Pajama Boy is the perfect example of what they identify as a male, right?
	Pajama Boy sitting in his pajamas, eating his yogurt, talking about, I don't know, his health care, whatever.
	It was some Obama ad, but Pajama Boy was a thing there for a moment.
	Pajama Boy is what the people that are anti the patriarchy epitomize as the perfect, you know, the beta male.
	And that's what they want.
	And I think the center of gravity is that.
	And you see it manifested in many different ways.
	But is there an organizational center of gravity?
	Is it Hollywood?
	Is it Palo Alto?
	Is it the teacher training colleges?
	If you had to concentrate fire on one entity ideologically, where would you get most bang for your buck in weakening this whole construct?
	To get to the culture and to get to the production of content, I think you've got to go back to the railhead.
	I think the railhead are the universities, the teaching schools, and also the philanthropic groups that provide the intellectual content for that.
	I think that's where you see the most vitriol come from, right?
	And it's the most embedded because of the tenure system and what's happened to the universities.
	That's why virtually all the universities in the country, even universities in red states, you know, the universities of the University of Texas or in these, you know, these other states outside of maybe Alabama and some, you know, University of Alabama is so fantastic that you have the assault there.
	So I think it very much comes from academia and from the think tanks around that.
	And then that spreads out, that spreads out into the creative, the content creation of television, of movies, of writing in the magazines and the newspapers.
	Look, I'm not an expert.
	Andrew was an expert on Frankfurt School.
	It's not my line of country, right?
	I'm more geopolitics and finance.
	But as I see this, I see that that is the locus.
	And I think if you had, I think Ron DeSantis, this is one of the reasons DeSantis, you know, He's a hedgehog, not a fox, right?
	Explain, explain.
	Well, that was, I think, was Isaiah Berlin.
	They had that great concept about there are two types of people that get things done.
	One is a hedgehog that just maniacally focuses on one thing and hammers and hammers and hammers.
	The other is the fox that kind of goes between different things and tries to move it that way.
	DeSantis is very focused.
	And in this regard, he's I think going on the same line of attack, I would think would be smart.
	He's gone after not just the elementary school education, the librarians, he's gone to the railhead, he's going to the universities, he's particularly going to the tenure system, and he's taking them on right now.
	And I think one of the reasons is, you know, he's taking on these AP classes, I think in African American Studies, but his is gonna, he has a lot deeper program.
	I think if you look at Ron DeSantis, Ron DeSantis is going where I would go If I wanted to kind of shut this down in the shortest way possible, go after the tenure system, go after these woke professors, and go after the intellectuals of the journals, get into all that, the think tanks, how that's produced.
	And I think DeSantis is right in that regard.
	Foxes and hedgehogs, but you forgot honey badgers, Steve.
	Honey badger's a new development.
	Honey badger don't give a hoot.
	Honey badger don't give a hoot.
	All right, let's talk about what it means to you to be a man.
	What is the essence of manhood?
	You've served this nation honorably in uniform.
	Here we have a picture of the naval officer, Steve Bannon.
	You come from a good Irish Catholic family from Richmond, Virginia.
	I believe your dad was a lineman.
	What is your definition?
	What are the non-negotiables of being a man?
	I just think it's do your duty.
	You know, one thing I tell people, I talk to a lot of young people about going into the military, because I say it's the best thing you'd ever do, to serve your country.
	I know so many wealthy individuals in their 40s, 50s, or 60s that really made it in life, and every time I talked to them, the one thing, if they didn't do it, was go and serve their country in that time period of your 20s when you have the opportunity to do it.
	So I talked to people, and when I talked to people, I said, look, the military is not an example.
	It's not Rambo.
	Right?
	Rambo is a complete cartoon version of the military.
	If you want to see the military, go watch 12 O'Clock High.
	You know, watch They Were Expendable with John Wayne and Robert Montgomery about taking off, you know, at a Corregidor.
	These are individuals who are very quiet, very steadfast, very stoic, but understand what first principles are and are prepared to make a stand and prepared to sacrifice, whether that sacrifice is all the way up to their own life or their career, anything else.
	And that, to me, You know, I was very fortunate to have a father who lived to 100.
	He was just a blue-collar working guy, but it's just that stoicism and everything that goes with it.
	And so, when you point to people, I say, if you want to see the version of that, you've got the William Holdens in Bridge on the River Kwai.
	You've got Gregory Peck in 12 O'Clock High.
	These are examples that I always point out.
	of people that are what I think is the is the real essence of masculinity.
	You don't have to be the tough guy walking into the bar like Rambo, flipping things over with machine guns strapped on you and killing everybody.
	And by the way, you know, in the military, as you know, this train, you've trained so many Marines.
	And the one thing to tell a guy in a thing, hey, he's, you know, a guy that's called a Rambo, that is not a compliment.
	No, he's got people killed, right?
	He's gonna get people killed.
	The guy who straps the machine gun belt on his body is not the guy who knows how to use a machine gun.
	He is the host of The Wall Room, wallroom.org.
	I'm Sebastian Gawker.

	Go to Spotify, plug in my name, Sebastian Gawker, America First.
	It's absolutely free.
	Leave us a five-star review and share the links with your friends, because that is how we recapture not just America, but our civilization.
	Alright Steve, I think you've given a couple of hints already.
	This is one of the most fun questions that we ask our interview subjects here is, what is your greatest influence in your understanding of what it means to be a true man?
	For those who had a good relationship with their father, talk to their father, but we've had people talk about fictional characters in books, in movies.
	When did these, was there somebody in the Navy?
	Who influenced your understanding of what it means to be an adult man?
	It's my father, yeah.
	Look, I've had the opportunity to meet so many power players and so many wealthy individuals—my banking career, Hollywood, the government, and now what I do—and the biggest single thing and the biggest, most important influence on anybody's lives, I've seen so many wealthy people with screwed-up families, kids that are on drugs.
	It is that family unit of sitting around the table every night I mean, I tell people all the time, you know, the Georgetown education, the Harvard education, the Navy, Goldman Sachs, all that, that's nothing.
	The formation, you know, the formation of yourself is going to come at a very early age.
	Nothing will replicate That father and the people that had the opportunity.
	Here's the problem today.
	The problem today is that fewer and fewer people in society have that have that opportunity.
	And that is something that it just it's a lasting imprint on you that will last for the rest of your life.
	So no, my father is a my father's always been my role model and just the guy that looked up to him because it was those little things done, you know, day in and day out.
	He really gave up.
	You know, playing golf and all the great things that he loved, he gave up to raise five kids.
	And, you know, he was incredibly happy with it, a very loving, happy, you know, large family.
	But it's those things are I've met the wealthiest people in the world.
	And trust me, I think they would trade that all off to have a happy family.
	You know, it was a dust is a toast or a dusk.
	He says all happy families are the same.
	And every unhappy family is unhappy in their own unique way.
	And it's very powerful.
	It's a very true statement.
	Now, my kids are in their 20s and this is the point at which they start to open up and, you know, express gratitude.
	And one of the things both my son and my daughter said to me is that they appreciate, and it's kind of surprising because of how articulate they were, they said they appreciated my setting boundaries, that for them in their development, It was crucial that their father set boundaries for them and they were very appreciative of what I did that we could have a successful home here in America.
	What kinds of specific things come to mind?
	You talked about stoicism, but when you think of your late father now, what kinds of specific things do you say, oh my gosh, now I understand and I'm grateful for that?
	I think it's a Hindu term I always refer back to called dharma, which is really your duty and in your station in life, what your purpose is, what your task, your purpose, your duty is kind of a complicated term.
	And it's just, it's the little guy.
	It's a stoic householder.
	It's the thing that our civilization has always been built.
	Edmund Burke called it the little platoons of the average person.
	You know, in one regard, he was a completely average person.
	In another regard, he was an extraordinary person.
	But in his extraordinariness was, in a modern age, everything was sacrificed for the family.
	Everything was sacrificed for his wife.
	Everything was sacrificed for his children.
	And that was his dharma, right?
	That was his task, his purpose, his duty.
	And he fully saw that through to the end.
	And that's why I tell people, I said, when you see those little things, you look back and reflect back over your life.
	When you reflect back over, It's those very small moments you have with your family, with your father or your mother, that are the ones that you realize in many years hence, you look back and go, those are the most important moments.
	Those are the things I really learned something.
	That was a teaching moment that I didn't even know was a teaching moment.
	So I think that is the most powerful.
	And I think it's It's like I talk about lived Christianity, or just live your beliefs.
	You see that day in and day out, and you see that in that sacrifice of giving oneself, of putting one's ego aside, and really giving it for that small unit.
	Because remember, life's a struggle, life's a war.
	The family is small unit combat.
	Right?
	It's the family against the world.
	And, you know, in a small unit, everybody's got to give something.
	That's what I'm saying if you watch 12 O'Clock High, which is at Harvard, at Harvard is the one film that's shown to you about small unit combat.
	And it's very telling about the sacrifice you have to make and some of the things you don't think are the sacrifice.
	Some of the things you think would be for the betterment of the group, it turns out it's not for the betterment of the group.
	You have to really understand that.
	I think the family—remember, there's a war against the family right now.
	The family is in small unit combat, and that's why the mom and the dad have to work together as partners.
	You'll send that message to your children, and then they will pass that on for the next generation and then the generation after that.
	That's the unbroken chain of the Judeo-Christian West.
	Now, sacrifice is, you know, the pillar of Christianity, what our Savior did for us and what we do for our fellow man.
	You're very outward with your Catholic faith.
	You have a crucifix on the mantelpiece behind you when you're hosting War Room.
	I'm curious, was your father's faith obvious or was it acquired internalized Catholicism?
	It was—everything he did was quiet, but no, it was a—he was really—his formation was by women, mainly.
	They had French nuns.
	He was raised in a town—at the time, Norfolk was kind of a missionary area.
	Virginia was very Protestant.
	Not very Catholic.
	So they had nuns, Belgian, French-Belgian nuns that came over first to South Bend, where their mother house was, and then they came down to Hish Parish and formed a school.
	Those nuns had a lasting impression on him.
	His mother was a convert.
	Being Southern Baptist, she converted to Mary, my grandfather, and she became an ardent Catholic.
	I mean, almost like a daily communicate.
	And, no, he had a very—the Church was everything to him, so he was—and we were altar boys growing up and choir boys and all that.
	The Church was a central part of our—the old Church was a central part of it.
	He was also—we were a Latin Mass family.
	As soon as the Latin Mass was allowed back, I think in the 70s, after Vatican II took it away, I think in the early to mid-70s, I was in the Navy then, or essentially gone.
	They had a parish that became a Tridentine Catholic.
	parish and when I would come back and visit we'd go to that.
	So no, his faith was quiet.
	I mean, he was not churchy and he was not evangelizing the people, but the church and his religion was central to his being and to his life and to his dharma.
	That's fascinating.
	My My father was a hardcore Catholic, cradle Catholic.
	That's what kept him sane in communist prison in Hungary.
	He married a Calvinist, my mother, and he was so pissed with Vatican II.
	He became like, you know, he was on the cusp of being a Lefebvreist.
	So, you know, that was my father.
	It's very interesting to say that the Catholics United for the Faith, my parents, became that close to being, was it Archbishop Lefebvre?
	Lefebvre, yeah.
	And the only reason they pulled back is that because of the whole issue about excommunication.
	That's how ingrained it was.
	But they began to come, the first thing they ever did really of politics, since they were not political people, was really the church had gotten, particularly during the Vietnam War, And in America had gotten so far, they felt off the track that they started to go, and they almost went to the, I think a parish actually in Richmond was formed.
	I'm not so sure how long it left.
	When Lefebvre came, I think it was to Houston, Texas, and he came, I think he came to the United States and actually ordained some priests, which was fairly controversial.
	My parents were very close.
	Then the Vatican started easing up.
	That's when they gave, it was Lefebvre that really got us back to Latin Mass here.
	It was his contribution.
	We call them traditional Catholics.
	My mom and dad were very... I mean, look, I was an altar boy.
	I was serving mass.
	When you were in a roster, but I would serve Mass, the early Mass daily, in Latin.
	My brother was one of the senior altar boys and really was there much more even than I was.
	I was kind of a grundoon before the Latin Mass ended, but we were taught the Latin Mass and we would go serve, I think it was the 6th and the 7th.
	They had a 6th, 7th, and 8th on our parish, I think, every day.
	That tells you how much the church has changed.
	They would have three Masses.
	Every day.
	And you'd have people there.
	They weren't packed, but you would have, and you would see the same faces there every day.
	I think our parents would have liked each other.
	We're talking to Steve Bannon, host of TheWarRoomWarRoom.org.

	That's my whole name, one word, SebastianGawker.substack.com.
	Steve, I know you've got daughters, I don't know if you have any male sons, but the next question I ask all of our guests on the Manhood Hour is, What is it that, you know, we see what's happened, the transgender agenda, we see the assault on normal masculinity, what is it we must be teaching the next generation?
	What is the essential curricula for boys today, the non-negotiables that must be imparted to them to inoculate them against this assault against manhood?
	You know, I was very fortunate that when I was, I don't know, 12 years old, 13 years old, I went to a military prep school run by the Benedictine monks.
	Are you kidding me?
	Are you kidding me?
	I spent 14 years with the Benedictines in school.
	14 flipping years.
	My grammar school was Benedictine nuns.
	I have the honor of being Benedictines all the way through grammar school.
	Benedictine monks, nuns for the first half, monks for the second, and then they go to Georgetown and graduate school to get the little Jesuits, right?
	Yeah, yeah, yeah.
	Absolutely.
	Yep.
	Oh, totally different.
	The Jesuits, totally different deal.
	And like I said, I went to Georgetown and graduate school when it was still a Catholic university.
	So, um, the, um, no, I think it's, I think you have to, it's all about formation.
	Look, I think it's much more difficult today in today's society.
	To raise boys than it is to girls.
	And the biggest thing I think happened was Title IX.
	Here's my father, who was very engaged with the family, etc.
	He was a fabulous athlete and passed that down.
	My brother's a great athlete.
	My kid brother's a great athlete.
	I'm not.
	I was a good athlete and tried hard.
	They were at a different level.
	They were stars of the team.
	I was, you know, an average player or somebody that, you know, tried to do their best and participated and, you know, did all the athletic things.
	But these guys were really top flight athletes.
	My sisters, Just weren't even part of that mix, just at the time.
	And coming up like Maureen, you know, who went to West Point, she essentially went not on a volleyball scholarship, but she was recruited to go to West Point because she was one of the top, you know, volleyball players in the country coming out of the beaches of Southern California.
	when she was young.
	And the reason was is that all these sports, the fathers were coaching.
	I coach Mo in every sport, baseball, basketball.
	I didn't coach soccer, but I mean, she would participate in all these sports and these women got into team sport.
	And that's why they're so competitive today.
	Look, if you're in Washington, D.C.
	or anywhere, the young women are aggressive.
	They're smart.
	They're tough.
	They're not going to back off.
	It's the Natalie Winters and the Jane Zirkels and the Maureen Bannons.
	I mean, these are very focused people.
	And so I think it's just easier today to raise daughters.
	And look, it's tougher overall because of this transgender agenda that's come the last couple of years.
	That's attacking the girls especially.
	The girls especially.
	I think because girls have made so much progress.
	And I think the biggest thing, the biggest societal change we've had in that is Title IX in women's sports.
	In women playing team sports.
	And their fathers having the opportunity to be engaged to be coaches.
	I mean, Manhattan Beach, California, where Mo is, which is jock heaven.
	Fathers and mothers.
	I mean, the dads are, you know, every league Mo had, There were all the fathers were coaches and particularly she didn't I didn't coach soccer and she didn't play a lot of soccer she played some but you had the dads they're soccer stars it was it's just a whole different deal I think it's tougher to raise boys today I just think yes I think there's so much pressure on them now I do think you see this generation and I happen to think this this new generation coming up
	Could be like the parents generation, the greatest generation, because I'm so impressed by the young people I'm seeing coming out of it.
	But for the families and the parents, you're under assault all day long.
	And this whole thing on the gender ideology, this is a whole radical new deal.
	You mean that the kids that are going to survive all the insanity of the ideological crush, those ones are the ones you expect great things from?
	Incredible.
	Yes.
	Think about it.
	This is like You know, I made a film called, I think you saw it, Seb, called The Last 600 Meters, which was Michael Pack was the director.
	I helped produce it.
	And it was about the 600 meters of a rifle.
	It was about the small unit combat in Fallujah and Najaf back in, what, 2004, right?
	First Fallujah and Najaf and second Fallujah.
	We took that film out and we took it out to a group of Marine force recon of the greatest generation.
	At the time, this is back in like six, so it was 15 years ago, these guys were all in their 80s or 90s.
	I don't know if many of them are even alive today.
	And we show them the film and one of the guys turns and says, you know, later says, he says, I can't believe the valor and heroism of these kids.
	It's unbelievable.
	We could never do that.
	And I go, hang on, I go, whoa, dude, you're a Peleliu, you're a Tarawa.
	I said, what are you talking about?
	I said, you're the greatest generation and you're the Marine, you're the force recon first guys on the beach.
	He goes, no, no.
	He says, you're missing, Steve.
	He says, those guys got to go to the different doors and kick in the doors.
	And, you know, a thousand, it was a hundred thousand doors in Fallujah, one of the greatest Marine Corps victories, you know, 200,000 rooms with civilians popping up, all that psychological pressure on you.
	He said, Steve, we hit the beach.
	You just—our mission was clear-cut everything in front of us.
	If it moved, it was dead, okay?
	And we're not going to back up an inch.
	You're never going to see the yard in back of you ever again.
	You're going to go across the beach.
	You're going to go into the jungle.
	You're going to kill everything in front of you.
	Whether you take prisoners or not, hey, who knows?
	It's all clear-cut in front of you, and then you're going to get on the ship and go to another beach.
	It was a little bit simpler.
	The metrics of mission success were a tad simpler than the guys going house to house amongst civilians in Iraq or Afghanistan.
	We're talking to Steve Bannon.
	This is the Manhood Hour.

	All right, Steve, we've talked about you said that that you're feeling optimistic because those kids that survived the ideological onslaught are going to be, you know, some of the toughest Americans we've ever seen.
	Last question is, as we stand right now, let's use all of your geo-strategic prisms that you use every single day in the war room.
	When you look at the assault on Western civilization, on classic roles, male, female, patriotism, America first, are you an optimist or are you a pessimist given what we've witnessed in the last 60 years with the Frankfurt School?
	Where are you at?
	I'm an optimist about that because I think we've not only turned the corner, I think we understand the preciousness and value of what we're about to lose.
	And on that level, on that level, I'm actually an incredible optimist.
	And I think you're going to see a rising young generation of real leaders and fighters.
	Because a lot of people have been red-pilled?
	Red-pilled, yes, exactly.
	And I think more and more people are becoming red-pilled.
	And I think they're not—and just not—and even in getting red-pilled, they understand that this is a fourth turning and we could lose everything.
	That on the—it's still to be determined how this outcome—you know, what—how the outcome, how the end of the movie is on this turning.
	We either be into the radical—the radical Frankfurt School, you know, cultural Marxist, atheistic, chaotic society, or we could have the ordered liberty of the Judeo-Christian West.
	And I'm actually very optimistic because I see the fighters, and I think we win this fight.
	Where I am not optimistic is something I think even deeper.
	And I think that generation I'm talking about, the fighters coming from, I do believe, and I think the evidence is showing that War Room is right.
	I do believe we're seeing the last generation of homo sapien among us, and not that we're going to be extinct.
	You mean with the transhumanism?
	I think transhumanism, and I think you've seen on the AI, just a little tiny piece of AI.
	And I tell everybody, The little bit of AI they're letting out is to normalize this.
	What's going on in the weapons labs, what's going on in the research labs, and on the convergence of all of it, whether it's quantum computing, advanced chip design, regenerative robotics, CRISPR and biotechnology, nanotechnology, those things, you know, we talked about, Seb, Basically the top five or six of the Made in China 2025, that just being random, right?
	Those convergence are in a singularity.
	I think within the lived experience of maybe not our generation, but maybe, but at least the generation back of us will be the end of human—Homo sapien 1.0 will meet Homo sapien plus or Homo sapien 2.0.
	That is the biggest Inflection point in the history of our species.
	And you think that's a bad thing, clearly, right?
	That I'm not optimistic.
	No, I'm not optimistic because I don't think you understand.
	Look.
	Because we're playing God.
	Yes.
	Look, one of the phrases in the New Testament that people for years have stumbled about is when early in Mark—I think it's Mark 13 or 14—he sends the disciples and apostles out.
	He says, look, go take a training mission.
	You've learned enough.
	Go out.
	And they come back, and they've healed the sick and cleared the bind.
	And they come back, and they go, we did these great things.
	However, people are saying that you're not God.
	In fact, you're Beelzebub.
	You're the devil, and all this is like some sort of magic.
	And he says, hey, don't worry about what people say about me.
	You just got to do what you got to do.
	Don't worry about what they call me.
	You just, boom.
	He said, in fact, the only eternal sin, the only unforgivable sin, calling me, you know, Christ things is not a problem.
	That can be forgiven.
	The only unforgivable sin, the only eternal sin, unforgivable and eternal, is to blaspheme the Holy Spirit.
	And as you know, in the Judeo-Christian West, we believe that—and if you read the New Testament, the Holy Spirit is completely infusing Christ at all moments, and I think from John the Baptist all the way through to the end of the story.
	And I think that that Spirit that makes you truly in the image and likeness of God, that we are on the cusp of blaspheming that.
	And that is Homo Sapien 2.0 or Homo Sapien Plus.
	Think of all the furor caused by just chatbot GPT, which is nothing.
	That's just some term papers and designs.
	And don't get me wrong, it's going to have a huge impact in college and teaching, but that is such a tiny, tiny element of what's in store for us.
	And that is just one vertical in the all-conversion.
	Society's not ready for this.
	Have you identified any Provisional, nascent, inoculation.
	Any actor that's prepared to stand in the gap when it comes to this?
	No, in fact, the closest would be Peter Thiel, Elon Musk, and they're actually what I call accelerationists.
	You're gonna have a... You're English and you're Hungarian, but raised in England.
	You know the Luddites.
	Yeah.
	The famous story of the Luddites.
	And we call ourselves now the Luddites.
	In fact, Peter Thiel, the difference between accelerationists and Luddites.
	This will be a very big line of demarcation.
	But Thiel's supposed to be on our side, so he's now a problem.
	He's supposed to be, but when you really deconstruct of what they're saying, they're actually accelerationists.
	I mean, they've had some problems with artificial intelligence or certain aspects of it, but like I said, this thing has got five different verticals that are converging on a point.
	That point's the singularity, okay?
	They are accelerationists and all the others.
	I mean, Elon Musk, his main job is not Tesla, and his main job is certainly not Twitter, which I think is a total misdirection play.
	His main job is Neuralink, the human, the computer-human interface.
	And so for families that are under pressure now with the whole situation of gender ideology, which by the way is a precursor to transhumanism, Because once you can just decide what your gender is, or, you know, do anything you want around your gender, you know, play girl sports or do whatever identifies this, that is the predicate for transhumanism.
	It's all utterly linked.
	I think we have to have a separate Separate discussion on just this topic alone with one of the few people on the planet, or just America, who actually understands geopolitics and strategy.
	There's a handful of others.
	VDH, Victor Davis Hanson, of course, is one of them.
	Ed Luttwak.
	But we're kind of like, oh, Lord Black, one of our regular guests here, Lord Black.
	There's not many left, so let's have another conversation when Steve doesn't have to get back to War Room.
	Got one more question for him.
	It's going to be political, so if you tuned in for the Manhood Hour, You can tune off and go and watch our interview with VDH because I have one question I need to ask my old boss when it comes to what's happening in America today.

	All right, I have the best producer in radio, and before I...
	Seb, Seb, just one right before we go.
	Did you talk to my agent about ripping me off there for the commercial?
	Oh, the jacket?
	No, no, a barber jacket and a black... Come on, dude, the black jacket... No, hang on, hang on, I am not in copyright infraction because I didn't have the four pens.
	If I'd had the four pens... Right?
	First of all, I've never seen... I thought Seb slept in a suit.
	I've known Seb for 15 years.
	I've never seen... What is that look?
	Call my agent.
	That's a direct lift.
	I had to... How about this?
	How about this?
	They flew me from here to Seattle to film a 60-second ad, and they had a guy with a wardrobe there dressing me.
	I felt really weird.
	I flew 10 hours to film a 60-second ad, and those aren't even my clothes.
	Talk to the wardrobe guy.
	He's a lovely guy.
	His name is Gerald.
	I can tell.
	There's no way you own that.
	No, what is this?
	Seb Borka sleeps in a suit.
	I was born in a suit and I sleep in a suit.
	Alright, last question because we didn't air it previously.
	My producer has said you gotta ask him, you gotta ask him because we've got our take here.
	Ron DeSantis vs. Trump.
	Is it artificial?
	Is it Griffith and his billionaire buddies pumping up Ron to, you know, take down the president?
	Give us your two-minute take.
	I think Ron DeSantis is the best governor in the United States, and when Carrie Lake and people I talked to, I said, what Ron DeSantis is doing in Florida is extraordinary, and it's to be replicated.
	President Donald J. Trump is president of the United States, and he's going to win this primary, and he's going to be president of the United States back in January.
	Once again for his third term, or for the third victory of the second term, and to complete our work in January 2025.
	And I think, to me, that's the way I look at it.
	This thing was clearly, obviously stolen from him.
	We can't let that... I mean, we've got to set things right.
	And Ron DeSantis has got so many strengths, and there's other people that have strengths.
	2028 will be here soon enough.
	We've got unfinished work.
	But is there not a danger of Ron being exploited as a weapon by the Unipartiest and the Rhinos?
	You can already see the massive donors getting it back.
	I hope he has the wisdom to think this through, and I hope President Trump has the wisdom.
	You know, we don't have to go full throttle on this thing, right?
	We have such bigger issues in front of us.
	We have the unfinished work of the Trump first term.
	President Trump One, the second term, and one, I think, going away, not even close.
	No president running again has gotten 12 million more votes.
	Hey, for the guy that was there that got the first, what, 63, I can tell you, that was a lift.
	To get 12 million more votes is absolutely historic.
	Donald J. Trump won that election.
	We've seen the catastrophic consequences on every level, including now in the Ukraine, where, as you know, we're being rapidly sucked into a major land war and Eurasian landmass.
	Trump can set things right.
	It's rightfully his, and not just rightfully his because of what happened, but he has unfinished work to do.
	He's the right man for the right time in history, and I don't say that lightly.
	I hope we put all the nonsense away and understand we've got to put the country first.
	Let's get this thing done.
	Let's get it sorted, and 2028 will be along soon enough for the Ron DeSantis of the world.
	Let's get this done Honey Badger style.
	I have to go now to the post office to send Steve his fascist FBI t-shirt, his Biden's Gestapo mug.
	In the meantime, follow him warroom.org wherever you are, whatever you're doing.
