	�� And Rush,
	in recognition of all that you have done for our nation, the millions of people a day that you speak to and that you inspire, and all of the incredible work that you have done for charity, I am proud to announce tonight that you will be receiving our country's highest civilian honor, the Presidential Medal of Freedom.
	Thank you.
	Thank you.
	I will now ask the First Lady of the United States to present you with the honor, please.
	Now that is the State of the Union.
	- Thank you.
	That was three years ago, President Trump's State of the Union Address, where Rush Limbaugh, the man who, I don't think it's possible to overemphasize his influence in keeping the collective patriot heart beating in America.
	We take it for granted that there is one cultural territory, one battlefield that we own, that patriots own.
	It is the only one that we own, and that is talk radio.
	And for decades, he was the man.
	He was the person others tried to emulate and always failed.
	But he was an inspiration, even to people like me who were simple listeners.
	Who believed that we always have a bright future.
	That Americans never give up.
	Never give in.
	One of the other cuts you'll hear today.
	Today is the anniversary of his death.
	Two years ago today, we lost that titan.
	A man who, even in the darkest hours for him personally, When he was under withering attack from the establishment, from radicals who were targeting his advertisers, people who were smearing him as a racist, a misogynist.
	Did he buckle?
	Did he ever bend the knee to those extremists who hate our nation?
	Not once.
	Not once.
	Perhaps those are the two things we must keep with us as close to our hearts as possible when we think of Russia's legacy.
	It's too easy to just think of talk radio as a place we mentally live for a few hours a day where we escape the insanity.
	The radicalism of people who think America is the problem.
	People who think open borders are okay and other nations are better than us.
	That you must be punished based upon your skin color.
	That being a strong nation is a bad thing.
	Talk radio is much more than a quote-unquote conservative safe space.
	It is our fuel.
	It is the place we plug into for inspiration.
	I did until four years ago.
	If anybody told me I would be hosting a radio show, I would have said, you know, get thee to the funny farm.
	It's a tool that helps us maintain focus on that which matters.
	Yes.
	The other thing he said is it's never time to despair.
	One of the evergreen cuts that will never be deleted from our archive is not long before he died.
	He said, I was asked by a listener, are things so bad that this is when we despair?
	And he said, no, it's never time to despair.
	Why is that?
	Because despair is un-American.
	A, it's un-Christian, so let's talk about our civilization for a moment.
	If our Lord and Savior actually decided to send His only begotten Son down to earth for us, and that His Son, who is both God and man, willingly, despite the fact that He could have commanded Thousands of angels to protect him.
	Died for our sake.
	Taking our sins upon himself to re-establish the correct covenant between us and our Creator.
	Thus providing us eternal life.
	Then what are we talking about despair and defeat?
	We've already won in the ultimate balance sheet, the ultimate scales of justice.
	We have won because of what happened on a hill outside Jerusalem 2,000 years ago.
	But secondly, it's not just about our faith in our covenantal relationship with our Creator.
	It's because of who we are as Americans.
	America, which by the way, whether the Democrats like it or not, tough, is the apotheosis, is the pinnacle of Western civilization, the only nation in the history of Western civilization since the ancient Greeks on down, whose fundament is built upon the concept of equality, of liberty.
	Based upon what?
	Not government deigning to parcel out to us rights based upon caprice.
	No.
	Based upon the fact that as our founding document states, we are made in the image of our Creator and that is why we have freedom, liberty and dignity.
	So whether it's by dint of us being members of the greatest civilization the world has ever seen, the Judeo-Christian civilization, or whether it is by dint of the fact that we are Americans, we never give up, we never despair, because we have already won and because our fuel is love.
	Love of God, love of nation, love of family, love of all that is true, always has been and always will be.
	And that those who stand in our way are fueled by hate.
	Hate of everything that is sacred is good.
	And primarily, and I'm not gonna get psychological on you here, but you know it's true.
	Just look at your liberal friends, your liberal relatives.
	Driven by hate of themselves.
	That is the source of their hatred.
	Two years later, we salute you.
	Rush Limbaugh.
	And we don't just salute to you.
	We thank you for what you have reminded us of.
	I'm Sebastian Gawker.
	This is America First.

	That's what radio's all about.
	I know!
	Gotta be genuine.
	Did you see line one?
	What is it?
	Have you ever thought about doing a podcast?
	Thank you, I'll take that call.
	Alright, let's go through what have we not seen.
	Oh, Greg, start with five.
	The dumbest man in America is back.
	Don Lemon diving head first into a hornet's nest of controversy while offering up his hot take.
	Not in her prime.
	Nikki Haley isn't in her prime.
	Sorry.
	When a woman is considered to be in her prime in her 20s and 30s and maybe 40s.
	That's not according to me.
	Prime for what?
	It depends.
	It's just like prime.
	If you look it up, if you Google when is a woman in her prime, it'll say 20s, 30s, and 40s.
	Thank you, Don, for saying what everybody truly believes.
	He later said he regrets his comment, calling it inartful.
	All right, Dana, I have been suffering from CNN anorexia ever since they got rid of Stelter and Cuomo.
	I have nothing on my show.
	I have segments that are just empty.
	And thank you.
	Thank you, Don Lamond.
	Keep going.
	Hey guys, so I'm here at Leslie Run and there's dead worms and dead fish all throughout this water.
	Something I just discovered is that if you scrape the creek bed, it's like chemicals coming out of the ground.
	Can you show, can you come here?
	And let me just show this to people.
	I don't know if you're going to see this on camera, but watch this.
	Just see that chemical pop out of the creek.
	This is disgusting.
	Okay, next.
	And the fact that we have... Oh, did you want the Olbermann for the 2A segment, right?
	Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
	Today, more than 300 Americans will be poisoned and died from fentanyl.
	You're looking at a place that much of it comes through.
	Tomorrow, there'll be 300 more.
	That's the equivalent of an airline crashing.
	If an airline crashed in America every single day, by the third day, the entire nation would wake up and say we need to fix the problem.
	Okay.
	The president, of course, has reached out to China saying he expects to talk to China.
	What do you think is the basis for their calling for your impeachment?
	Do you think you've done anything wrong?
	No, I don't.
	I think it is a disagreement over policy and I think it is used for political purposes to continue... Mic's off or on?
	Mic's off.
	off.
	Thank you.
	America First Magnificent.
	Welcome back dear friends.
	It's Friday.
	Does it feel like Friday?
	Kind of crept up on me there.
	If you love this show as much as we love providing it to you, support those who make it possible.
	This is a free market enterprise.
	We rely upon great patriots like Mike Lindell, the inventor of MyPillow.
	To bring you the product every single day.
	All three hours of it.
	The left hates him.
	The FBI are intimidating him.
	You heard the story he told about being surrounded at a Hardee's drive-thru.
	The left wants to cancel him.
	Even Walmart have banned his products.
	Let's have his back.
	He's just upgraded the MyPillow.
	He sold 71 million of them.
	But it wasn't good enough.
	The 2.0 is out.
	He's got some amazing BOGO offers.
	Use my name for up to 66% off the other 150 plus products on his website.
	MyPillow.com.
	Code Gawker.
	Or just call 800-829-8468.
	That's 800-829-8468.
	MyPillow.com.
	Promo code G-O-R-K-A.
	When I saw this yesterday, I didn't want to believe it, but given what's happening here in America, I shouldn't be surprised.
	A priest, a Catholic priest in the UK, Sean Goff, was arrested for praying silently outside an abortion clinic.
	Thank the good Lord he was just acquitted.
	Let's play some of the good father outside the courthouse.
	Everyone has the right to pray in their mind.
	I'm pleased that I've been cleared of all the charges today.
	And have cleared my name.
	It's wrong for the authorities to censor parts of the street from prayer, even silent prayer, from peacefully having conversations and sharing information that could be of great help to women who want an alternative choice to abortion.
	I pray every day, everywhere I go, and prayer can never be a crime.
	But I was charged for praying for freedom of speech.
	Praying can never be a crime.
	I followed this man right now, Father Sean Goff, Catholic priest on Twitter from Wolverhampton, England.
	I want to get him on the show next week.
	But it's not just something happening 8,000 miles away.
	It's happening here in America.
	And somebody who is key to fighting back is a brave FBI whistleblower who is a friend of our show, also Dan Bongino's.
	Kyle Serafin, welcome back to America First.
	Thanks for having me on, Seb.
	Happy to be here.
	Kyle, let's put up the image of this memo from the Richmond field office of the FBI that I read excerpts of a few days ago which states that traditional trad Catholics, traditional Catholics are Overlapping with should be considered a threat as domestic violent extremists linked to white supremacy.
	Now this document was leaked from the FBI Richmond office.
	The FBI says it has been withdrawn.
	Can you give us an update on this?
	Has this document been withdrawn and what the hell was it doing being written in the first place?
	Well, the information that I got that it was still up on Wednesday, it sounds like it's down now.
	We've been kind of checking in on it.
	I have a number of people in the Bureau that are trying to defend the First Amendment, I guess.
	That seems like the easiest thing that we all swore to do, but not everyone is willing to do it.
	They finally have taken it down, but they did say they took it down last week, and they obviously did not.
	Until very recently.
	So, let's... Oh, I'm just noticing behind you, you've got some very nice hardware.
	He's got a Nightforce scope on an AR-15.
	Dude, you have a... That's right, good eye.
	Good eye.
	You have a very good taste in glass.
	We'll talk about guns maybe offline, but I'm just looking at the stuff behind him.
	It's the Kyle Serafin Podcast.
	So can you explain to me, I'm a Catholic so I'd like to know, why is the FBI writing threat analyses memoranda on traditional Catholics?
	Well, you and me both were on the Catholic front, and obviously it's something troubling to me.
	So it's worth noting that the whistleblower who brought the document to my attention is not a Catholic, but saw this as like a pry bar to open the door up into all Christians.
	Right.
	Because if you're going to go after radical traditional Catholics, the next move is radical traditional Baptists, and Lutherans, and Evangelicals, and you name it, and we're all on the list.
	Because the way that this document... Oh, hang on, hang on, hang on, hang on.
	Mistake.
	I'm sure traditional Muslims.
	I'm sure that under this administration, if you're a traditional Muslim, you probably don't have a threat memo written on you.
	I think Ilhan Omar might have some issues with that.
	Sorry.
	Carry on, Karl.
	I didn't mean to interrupt.
	Well, what's funny is that the whistleblower who brought this also said, if you replace the words radical Catholic with radical Muslim, there's no chance this thing would have been approved.
	So you have a very strong insight there.
	Also to the people that I'm speaking with, it doesn't matter what side, whether you're in the FBI or out.
	But I believe what this document was trying to do, or what the writer sort of saw it as, and the writer uses all kinds of woke ideology, like they say, Abortion rights, as opposed to just the act of abortion.
	They talk about pregnant persons and not women, which is absurd.
	And they try to draw a common cause between white supremacists and their stances on abortion, LGBTQ issues, and so on, saying that this is, you know, something that radical traditional Catholics are susceptible to recruitment with.
	But, you know, those positions are mainstream Christian, not just Catholic positions.
	So I think it was a pry to get into that.
	And once you have an Intel product like this, it can act as a seed crystal that really grows into its own sort of body of work.
	People can write and they can reference it, and they can build additional intelligence products around it, and that can be used to predicate intelligence cases, which is something we've talked about.
	So that's the real danger here, and it's something that we need to really keep our eye on.
	Luckily, people that I know have visibility of this kind of thing and are concerned.
	I've had traditional Catholic FBI agents call me up, people I've never spoken to before, that were furious and asked if they could get in touch with this analyst.
	Because not only did it get through the peer review process of the other analysts, it made it through a supervisor, and then it made it through the Chief Division Counsel, who's the top attorney in Richmond, who theoretically is calling balls and strikes and calling things out of policy, which this document was, if only because it was using the SPLC, the Southern Poverty Law Center.
	Well, this is my last question.
	The source for this is a radical left-wing hate organization, the Southern Poverty Law Center, that is linked to actual violent extremist attacks in America.
	Yep, it sure is.
	In fact, it was something I was briefed at at Quantico.
	They talk about the shooting that happened at the Family Research Council in D.C.
	I mean, that's still very real to the people in the Washington Field Office.
	So, you know, when I was there almost seven years ago, they stated that this was not an appropriate source for intelligence products.
	And I know that goes back before my time there.
	So probably close to 10 years, they've been banned as an official source for FBI intelligence.
	And I think you'll find this clever and funny.
	I just got another, it's not really a whistleblower, it's more of inside Intel, but I had someone reach out to me today and said that the production service unit, this is the people that actually handle Intel products like this at headquarters, sent out kind of a pro tips in a very cutesy way and nice cute pink font saying, you know, be really careful about the way that you write things.
	And if you use lousy sources, it's not good.
	And, you know, don't do circly reporting, all the things that you would expect an intelligence agency to know it should be wrote, but instead they have to warn these people not to use this garbage.
	Yeah, I love it.
	The FBI, the most powerful law enforcement agency in the world, has to have internal reminders.
	Don't write crappy intel analyses.
	If you're doing a good job, you probably shouldn't need those kind of reminders, right Kyle?
	One would think, yes.
	It's pretty depressing.
	One would think.
	All right.
	God bless you.
	Keep doing what you do.
	We need to get you back for a longer chat.
	In the meantime, he's the host of something that strangely is called The Kyle Serafin Show.
	Follow him on Twitter.

	And also for Mr. Reagan.
	Why Rush Limbaugh really mattered.
	Then for Kyle... Is the FBI still targeting Catholics?
	Mm-hmm.
	And Reagan?
	Reagan, um... The first 80s action movie, question mark?
	Um, no question mark.
	All right.
	The first 80s action movie, totally.
	All right.
	Totally.
	Totally.
	Download that Olbermann video when you get a chance.
	Oh, uh, can you just play me... 10 and 12?
	Will the American public eventually find out what these three unidentified objects are, including which companies they belong to, or which specific benign purposes they had?
	We would like nothing better.
	But I can't sit here and promise you that we'll get to that level of fidelity of detail.
	You told us there was going to be time to panic.
	Well, is it time to panic?
	Well, let me just tell you folks, it's never going to be time to panic.
	Because we're never going to give up.
	Come in with that.
	I'm in with 12.
	No liner. 40 seconds. 20 seconds.
	20 seconds.
	You told us we're going to be time to panic.
	Well, is it time to panic?
	Well, let me just tell you folks, it's never going to be time to panic.
	Because we're never going to give up.
	We're not going to give up on America.
	I'm not.
	I don't think most of you are either.
	America's worth it.
	America is worth fighting for.
	America's worth not giving up.
	One of our most important cuts, Rush Limbaugh, not long before he left us, telling us it's never the right time to give up, ever, because you're an American.
	Lost far too early two years ago, today we salute you.
	Rest in peace, Rush Limbaugh.

	Let's go to your calls waiting patiently.
	Line 1, Ohio.
	Got it!
	Welcome to America First.
	Mr. Gorka, how are you?
	Good.
	Good.
	Hey, I'm just real super short and quick.
	I just wanted to call and see if you've ever thought about doing an audiobook version of the KJV Bible.
	Are you familiar with podcasts?
	Do you use podcasts a lot?
	I do not.
	I do not.
	Well, you might want to check out this one.
	Let's put it up on the screen.
	I have recorded the whole New Testament.
	It took me a good few months with my colleague Eric.
	If you go to Apple, if you go to Spotify, you can listen to me reading the whole Bible.
	It's called Getting With God.
	You can get it today.
	Awesome.
	You are the man.
	Thank you, sir.
	Thank you kindly.
	All right, let's go to... Oh, somebody wants to talk about Rush, and it's not even Thursday.
	Antoinette.
	Hey, Dr. G. Hi, it's Friday.
	What an amazing tribute to Rush you did for him today.
	Thank you so much.
	I will tell you a funny story about him, but off the phone another time when I see you.
	But yesterday, Brent called in about this women's show, which I have a better title for that.
	Yes.
	Because I think we need to do this twice a month At Mar-a-Lago.
	But here we go.
	The real, woke, and awakened women of Mar-a-Lago.
	And the reason being, so the lefties, as well as the conservative women, can dial in, because the word woke's in there, the word awakened is in there.
	We need to start educating, because we've got two years for our next election, and for the everyday woman like Judy and myself, and then for amazing women like Naomi Wolf, Like, Mrs. Trump and other amazing Dr. Simone Gould to be on this show.
	And we do it twice a month, I think, and have Jen, our West Coast warrior princess, narrate.
	I'll even narrate, but we need to do this to start educating all these women to wake up.
	Yeah I just I love the idea and I think Jen may have a special announcement that may involve a member of my family to make very soon but the whole woke thing I don't know please no no no no I'm not interested in anything to do with patriots and good guys it's associated with the word awoke or awakening even it's just It's not catchy.
	It makes me think you're a leftist.
	I love the idea, Antoinette, but let's keep our thinking hats on.
	Brent, Annabel, we might even let Judy if she's recovered from saying President Trump needs to change his ways.
	I think Judy can give us some input as well.
	So let's have... I love the idea of doing it from Mar-a-Lago.
	That's utter genius.
	That is absolutely superb.
	But we've got to come up with a better name.
	We've got a minute before we have to go to break.
	Don, L.A., quickly, Don, what's your contribution?
	Happy Friday!
	Happy Friday to you, Dr. G, the rolling thunder of American Patriotic Talk Radio.
	Thank you, buddy.
	Man, you know, the other day you were talking to Jen, our warrior princess, about the passing of Raquel Welch, and I just had to share this with you.
	You know, they're doing all these articles about her, but they reprinted a little piece that Camille Paglia wrote about her, who's like, you know, a feminist critic, but she obviously appreciates women.
	Listen to this.
	She's describing the famous poster, you know, the bikini, the animal bikini, and she says, the indelible image of a woman as queen of nature, well, she went on, is a lioness, fierce, passionate, and dangerously physical.
	I like it!
	From Camille Paglia.
	I am impressed.
	I am going to look that up.
	Don, you are a fountain of information.
	Camille Paglia calling Raquel Welsh in her fur bikini.
	The queen of nature.
	That's perfect.
	Thank you, my friend.
	Happy Friday.

	All right, it's been far too long since we've had our Next guest on the show with us today, he is a truth teller, whether it's about what's happening with COVID, with health provisions across the nation for the last two years, or whether it's about certain organizations that say they represent you, when in fact they don't.
	He's our good buddy, Phil Kirpin, who is the president of American Commitment.
	Phil, welcome back to America First.
	My pleasure.
	Thanks for having me.
	Right, so Phil, there is an organization out there that says it stands for senior citizens in the United States.
	Could you tell us the truth about this organization and what it's really up to?
	Yeah, I think one of the reasons the healthcare policy debates have been so distorted in this country is that the largest organization that people still think of as the seniors group, which is AARP, has really moved into a very different business and they no longer represent seniors.
	They use them, they monetize them essentially.
	The seniors are the product that they sell to the big insurance company, UnitedHealth Group, as well as other corporate partners, but really especially UnitedHealth Group, which they have an exclusive deal with for their health insurance products.
	And they get what they call a royalty of 4.95% of all the premium revenue of all the AARP-branded UnitedHealth products.
	Hang on, hang on.
	The organization that says it's meant to just generally fight for the interests of senior citizens actually makes money out of their relationship with that health care provider?
	Billions of billions of dollars.
	It's an extremely lucrative, lucrative arrangement.
	Makes them three or four times as much on an annual basis as they make in their total membership dues.
	And what I think has happened is essentially they've become the advocacy and marketing arm of the health insurance industry.
	And of course, UnitedHealth is the largest insurance company.
	And I think that's why Obamacare passed away it did.
	I think that more recently, it's why the extremely corrupt Inflation Reduction Act passed the way it did last year.
	And it's not just that they distort policy debates, but they also have massive political influence as well.
	And of course, they're in bed with the Democrats.
	They did 71, there were 71 members of Congress that got the full treatment from AARP last year, the events and the press releases and all of the ads, everything.
	70 of the 71 were Democrats, and so this is a highly partisan entity in practice, as well as highly lucrative.
	And of course, it's a nonprofit, sort of a name only, because they have $2 billion a year in revenue, and they had You know, they had about 20% retained earnings last year, and their corporate royalty structure, I think, is something Congress needs to investigate.
	Whoever heard of a government program where you can skim 4.95% off the top, and that's not considered a kickback.
	That's considered perfectly fine, and they're not registered to sell insurance.
	It's not a commission.
	They have this two-cube-by-half royalty structure and it's become an enormous business for them.
	So what should people know about American Commitment?
	What should people who are concerned do?
	Talk to us about what you're doing and any websites they should check out.
	Yeah, absolutely.
	We've launched a project called our Commitment to Seniors project that investigates the financials behind AARP and is trying to combat They're lobbying influence by educating elected officials in Congress in particular and trying to get them to investigate this arrangement.
	All of our stuff is on the website.
	If you go to AmericanCommitment.org, our main website, you can click on Commitment to Seniors.
	It's one of the main items that rotates through at the top, and that'll get you to the report that has all of the detailed analysis of their financials, which I think are very eye-opening.
	It also has a pre-written letter you can send to Congress or edit however you want, and we're hoping That we can get some oversight conducted of this relationship, because it's been extremely corrosive for health policy debates.
	Americancommitment.org, Americancommitment.org.
	We're talking with its head, the President, Phil Kirpin.
	Follow him on Twitter, at Kirpin, K-E-R-P-I-N.
	Just quickly, you know, Phil, you know this stinking city.
	There's the elevator pitch, right?
	If you've got a policy recommendation, you've got to be able to sell it in the time it takes to ride a few stories in an elevator with You're superior in government or at the corporation.
	If somebody meets a person who thinks AARP is good and they get into the elevator with them or they bump into them at the barbecue or what have you, what is the elevator pitch for the problem with the AARP, Phil?
	Well, it's an organization that first and foremost looks out for its corporate partners, in particular UnitedHealth Group.
	And I think what I would point out, if you have a limited time, I would say, look, remember, this is the group that endorsed Obamacare when its own members were telling it by 14 to 1 that they opposed it and they didn't want that bill to pass.
	This is an organization that now gets three times as much money on an annual basis from UnitedHealth Group.
	as they get from seniors.
	And this is an organization that's skimming 5% off the top of all these health insurance products and not even telling their members that there may be a better deal from another company because other companies don't pay them that royalty or kickback.
	And so I think the short version is, you know, buyer beware, shop around, don't assume that they're representing you just because you're a member of the organization.
	And the other thing I'd mention, Dr. Gorkas, there was actually a lawsuit in Ohio.
	There was an AARP team that sued them and said they ripped me off.
	I didn't know I was getting skimmed this 5% off the top when I bought an insurance product.
	They had an obligation to represent me and not to do that.
	And they actually got the lawsuit dismissed.
	They said they had no fiduciary obligation to their membership.
	They had no relationship of trust with their members.
	It was just a business relationship.
	Wow.
	And they won the case, but I think it said a lot about how they operate.
	Sounds like a scam to me.
	Discover the truth about AARP.
	I think that rhymes.
	That might be a haiku.

	They don't tell you they're gonna make money off you if you go with a certain healthcare provider.
	And they get 5%!
	Yeah...
	Crazy.
	And they act like they're fighting for seniors.
	Yeah!
	What a scam.
	Um, what did Judy want?
	She wanted to come on, but she's been the third time this week.
	Want that one on Rumble or Vimeo?

	Amen.
	Thank you.
	Is two funny, Jeff?
	Kind of.
	One.
	What about three?
	Is it good?
	She wouldn't tell me either.
	What kind of a cold-screener are you?
	I know, but it has something to do with the Second Amendment.
	That's why, since it is Second Amendment Friday.
	Okay.
	Forty-five.

	SebGorkastore.com.

	Jeff, you've got a cigar question.
	Yes, sir.
	Thank you for taking my call.
	I am just starting out on Fedora.
	I can't hear you.
	It sounds like you're in the bottom of a submarine and the windows are open.
	You got to shut the window, get off Bluetooth or something because we can barely hear you, Jeff.
	OK, I will call back.
	All right.
	Thank you, buddy.
	Let's go to who have we got?
	One, two, three, four, five.
	Let's go to Wendy, California.
	Well, hi there, Mr. Gorka.
	Hey.
	So, I didn't like the whole woke and all that nonsense for a title.
	Yeah, you got a better title?
	Well, mine was more, I know they wanted to have it at Mira Lago, and you know, you can work that in with the word beauty, but I've got like the Womanhood Hour, Womanhood Show, where real women Know who they are and all their beauty and then maybe just for a stab at that Gaga.
	That's a that's a bit long.
	That's a bit long, but I like the emphasis on beauty because women are beautiful.
	I love it.
	Thank you.
	Thank you.
	Wendy one more lady.
	We can squeeze in before our to Annabelle, California.
	Hi, Dr. Corker.
	I was I was inspired by the The father of Helena, that 14-year-old girl who was shot in one of the mass shootings.
	Oh, Mr. Petty.
	Yes, the Parkland shooting.
	We're going to get him back on next week.
	Wonderful.
	So here's another idea for merchandise.
	Bear with me.
	And at the end, I have a... No, you've got 60 seconds.
	We're up against the news.
	You've got to be quick, Annabelle.
	Here's the idea.
	It's kind of artistic.
	It starts off on the top.
	It says, harden our borders.
	But the words start to fall out.
	If you imagine chaos, because that's all they bring.
	So imagine pouring out from a cup, words.
	So they're all upside down all over.
	It says, harden our borders, schools, home streets, military bases, airways, houses of worship, malls, markets.
	But then the bottom is stationary.
	So it's all chaos.
	And then it says, above all, harden our resolve to protect liberty.
	And then it says, vote America First 2024.
	Yeah, it sounds a little bit too busy.
	Maybe I can't imagine it.
	Did you have anything else for me, Annabelle?
	Well, I want to give you one of my favorite quotes from Thomas Jefferson.
	He says, When the government fears the people, that's liberty.
	When the people fear the government, that's tyranny.
	And it's time for us to fight back.
	Yeah.
	A government should fear its citizens because they don't exist but for our say-so and our mandate.
	Thank you, NMIL.
	Thank you to all our great callers, our two.
	It's Friday!
	It's Second Amendment Friday!
	It's Ask Dr. G Anything as well.
	We'll be back after these messages.
	Thank you.
	So he went to Walter Reed, but why did the doctors there leave out the cognitive test for Joe Biden?
	Surely that's the thing we want to know about most, not about his indigestion and acid reflux.
	What are the results?
	Also, national security.
	It's Friday.
	We'll have Jim Carrafano from the Heritage Foundation.
	The saga of the Beijing balloons continues.
	And of course, what's happening in Ukraine and the Second Amendment.
	Call me!
	It's the Salem News Channel, hour two, America First.
	The doctor is in America First with Dr. Sebastian Gorka on Salem News Channel, the antidote to the mainstream media.
	The doctor is in America First with Dr.

	Yeah, yeah, yeah.
	Boris!
	My man.
	Hey, you promised me photographs.
	You're a week late with the photographs.
	I need to see you in your new wheels.
	I'm not late.
	I'm just in Florida, and I haven't gotten the car back yet.
	All right.
	Are you on speaker?
	No, this is me to the headset.
	What do we think, guys? - Yes.
	Jeff said it was good.
	Is it bad?
	All right, then leave it.
	Okay, good.
	All right, stand by.
	Got some great clips to play for you.
	30 seconds.
	Stand by.
	Ready.
	All right.
	Dr. G is ready for anything on America First.
	Why am I ready for anything?
	Because of great people like this person.
	Cut 12.
	Let's play it again.
	It's just that good.
	You told us it was going to be time to panic.
	Well, is it time to panic?
	Well, let me just tell you folks, it's never going to be time to panic.
	Because we're never going to give up.
	We're not going to give up on America.
	I'm not.
	I don't think most of you are either.
	America's worth it.
	America is worth fighting for.
	America's worth not giving up.
	Bingo!
	The great Rush Limbaugh, our favorite cut from Rush, the man we lost two years ago today.
	We don't give up because we're American.
	Someone who understands unimplicitly, he is the senior advisor to the Trump 2024 campaign.
	My former White House colleague, he is known simply as the baron on this show.
	Boris Epstein, welcome back to America First.
	Thank you so much, my friend.
	It's an honor to be with you and an honor to be with the audience.
	Did I get your title right?
	Senior advisor.
	You got it.
	Alright!
	It's so complicated.
	You have so many titles.
	Just follow him, BorisEP.com, BorisEpstein, Boris underscore Epstein on all the social medias.
	Are you ready to have some fun today?
	That's all I want to do, my man.
	It's all about having fun and all about saving America while we're doing it.
	All right, so let me read to you some things that I hope you do not suffer from.
	Atrial fibrillation, hyperlipidemia, which means your blood has too many lipids, osteophageal reflux, Stiff gait based upon spondylosis of the spine and peripheral neuropathy.
	I hope you don't have any of those, my friend.
	You know, I'd have to check the medical records, but in my non-professional opinion, I've got none of them and neither do you.
	Alright, I'm a doctor.
	I'm a doctor.
	I pronounce you free of those, although it's just a PhD.
	I list those scary things because apparently those are the five conditions that have been identified yesterday by Walter Reed, which the current incumbent of the White House suffers from.
	But what's strange, Boris, is they neglected to do a cognitive test on him.
	Why would that be?
	I'm sure it's by accident.
	They didn't mean anything by it.
	They just skipped over it.
	Oh, well, it's obvious that he's in such great shape.
	He can't string two words together.
	Doesn't know where he is.
	Doesn't know who the vice president is.
	Doesn't know what year it is.
	Why do a cognitive test?
	You know, why waste time?
	It's obvious what they're doing.
	Let's have some fun.
	Let's have some fun.
	Let's remind the world what happened when President Trump took a cognitive test and he was asked about it.
	It's such a great clip.
	Cut one.
	I said to the doctor, who was Dr. Ronnie Jackson, I said, is there some kind of a test?
	An acuity test.
	And he said, there actually is.
	And he named it, whatever it might be.
	And it was 30 or 35 questions.
	The first questions are very easy.
	The last questions are much more difficult.
	Like a memory question.
	It's like you'll go person, woman, man, camera, TV.
	So they'd say, could you repeat that?
	So I said, yeah.
	So it's person, woman, man, camera, TV.
	OK, that's very good.
	If you get it in order, you get extra points.
	OK, now he's asking you other questions, other questions.
	And then 10 minutes, 15, 20 minutes later, they say, remember the first question?
	Not the first, but the 10th question?
	Give us that again.
	Can you do that again?
	And you go person, woman, man, camera, TV.
	People made fun of him, but he nailed it, and at least he took the cognitive test, Baron!
	Of course he nailed it.
	President Trump nailed it because President Trump's acuity is at the absolute top of the spectrum.
	And we all know that, and it's obvious every day.
	I mean, President Trump did a recent interview with Hugh Hewitt, and Hugh throws a lot of curveballs.
	And it was about 30 subjects in 10 minutes, all over the place.
	Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom.
	President Trump crushed every single one of them.
	You got Joe Biden, they ask him, hey Joe, what day is it?
	And he's like, oh folks, oh folks, uh, Xi Jinping.
	What, what are you talking about?
	Like, uh, Apple is the new orange.
	Okay.
	And you know what?
	It'd be funny if it weren't dangerous.
	It'd be funny if China didn't control Joe Biden and his crime family.
	It'd be funny if they weren't sending these balloons across the United States.
	God knows what's in them.
	We are in a very precarious time in our country.
	A dangerous time.
	And that's why we need President Trump back.
	Somebody else who needs an acuity test.
	Maybe you can translate this.
	You've been in politics much longer than I have.
	This is the Vice President who didn't have a medical check-up at Walter Reed, who's trying to explain something about China, but for the life of me, I have no way of knowing what this sentence means.
	Cut.
	Eight.
	President, of course, has reached out to China saying he expects to talk to President Xi.
	They have said today that it was accidental, that we're overreacting, that there can't be this kind of dialogue given our reaction, or there shouldn't be this kind of dialogue.
	We will maintain the perspective that we have in terms of what should be the relationship between China and the United States.
	That is not going to change, but surely and certainly that balloon was not helpful.
	We will maintain the perspective of the relationship that we should... What is she babbling about, Boris?
	We are going to continue doing what we've done before, and doing what he does.
	And again, this is not the Shoveep.
	This is not South Park.
	These are the supposed leaders of the United States of America, the country with the greatest country in the history of God's green earth.
	It is embarrassing.
	And as we say on War Room, elections are consequences, and stolen elections are catastrophic consequences.
	So that's what happens when you've got these illegitimate leaders, and that's my belief, it's my own perspective, okay?
	You've got these illegitimate leaders, they don't know what they're doing, and they're embarrassing our country and putting us in a dangerous, dangerous place.
	In a place where we can't defend ourselves even against a balloon!
	I mean, this thing's allowed to go across the country?
	They try to hide it from the Department of Defense?
	It is a disaster.
	And in the meantime, all they want to do is try to prosecute, persecute, and harass President Trump because they know that he's the strongest and only person.
	To keep us safe right now.
	Yeah.
	The balloon, Farago, we'll discuss that next with our special in-studio guest.
	Every Friday we talk national security with the Heritage Foundation's Jim Carafano.
	Colonel Dr. Carafano will be with us next, but I have one more cut to play for you.
	It's going viral.
	It's George Soros who is doing a pretty creepy impersonation of Emperor Palpatine from the Star Wars movies.
	And he's talking about our former boss, 2024 is that Trump and Governor DeSantis of Florida will slug it out for the Republican nomination.
	Trump has turned into a pitiful figure Continually bemoaning his loss in 2020.
	Big Republican donors are abandoning him in droves.
	DeSantis is shrewd, ruthless, and ambitious.
	He is likely to be a Republican candidate.
	Anyone like Soros calling anyone pitiful when he looks like the zombified Crip Master is quite amusing.
	But Boris, this sounds like an endorsement of Governor DeSantis.
	He calls him shrewd, ruthless and ambitious and says he will be the Republican candidate.
	How bad is this for DeSantis that one of the most evil people in the world has just effectively endorsed him, Boris?
	It's not a positive, that's for sure.
	And, you know, Governor DeSantis has got a real decision to make.
	Is he going to go against the will of the people, the will of the MAGA movement, and go against the leader of that movement, President Donald J. Trump?
	Or is he going to do the right thing and endorse the president and get in line with what the American people want, which is President Trump back in the Oval Office as soon as possible?
	And if you listen to Soros, I guess he's a big fan of the Santas.
	So is Ken Griffin, who's making all his money with the Chinese Communist Party.
	So maybe Paul Ryan's in that camp as well, from what we've heard from him.
	So these aren't exactly the kind of endorsements that anybody who's MAGA wants.
	Yeah, I've always said if Ron's smart, he comes in as a member of the Trump cabinet or his vice president, then he rolls into the top slot for 2028.
	Do you think Ron DeSantis is smart enough to do that, Boris?
	Well, here's what I will say.
	2028 is wide open.
	2024 is President Trump's year.
	That's what the American people want.
	And if I were Ron DeSantis or anybody, I mean, look how it's turning out for Nikki Haley.
	Yes.
	It's a little disaster.
	If I were any of the Republican pretenders, I would immediately endorse President Donald J. Trump and do what the American people want.
	Don't let ambition blind you.
	And frankly, don't make wrong decisions for your future career.
	I mean, as you said, going to San Francisco, he's 40, he's 44 years old, he's got a long time, a long horizon in front of him, and hey, everything could be, you know, could be resolved in the future, but for now, it's President Trump's turn to get back to the White House as soon as possible.
	Do the smart thing, Ron!
	2028's your time.
	We've been talking to Boris Epstein, the Baron!
	This is America First, back after these messages.
	This is America First, back after these messages.
	Who do we go through?
	Okay, mic's on.
	Alex, can you remind me what I've got to read to do because I completely spaced on Car 15 there?
	Yes.
	Okay.
	I'll do both Car 15 and PhD here.
	Alrighty.
	All righty.
	Title for the Baron.
	Should DeSantis...
	What's the word?
	Not denounce.
	Disavow.
	Disavow.
	George Soros.
	George Soros's endorsement.
	Jackets off!
	What is this?
	A working meeting?
	What is this?
	Casual Friday?
	What's going on?
	Had too many apple pies?
	Uh, no, no.
	Let's talk train derailments, balloons, and... Oh, Mallorcas.
	you won't believe this cut we've got from Mayorkas.
	That's cut nine.
	So you've got Tucker coming.
	Yeah, isn't that great?
	I know, that's a big deal.
	Big deal.
	Where's it going to be?
	It's going to be at the Gaylord, right?
	Yeah.
	It's like the 20th and the 21st and the 20th is at Mount Vernon, I believe.
	Mount Vernon?
	Yeah, I quite understand the whole sequence of things.
	Have you got a panel or something you're doing?
	No, I don't do anything.
	No?
	I'm excited.
	You're too important for that!
	No, I just, there's a lot of it in DC.
	There, yeah.
	One minute.
	All right.
	I'm going to use cut nine here at some point.
	Yeah.
	And probably cut seven after that.
	Okay.
	You're coming in with car and PhD.
	I made it into the Huffington Post yesterday.
	Wait, really?
	Yeah.
	What'd they say?
	My tweets, my tweets about Raquel Welsh.
	Oh, interesting.
	Was she actually positive?
	Yeah, I was listed amongst all the tweets praising Raquel.
	Oh, okay.
	That's worrying.
	I think the posts.
	I was going to ask if it was another two-sentence article.
	Like what?
	The End
	The End This is Second Amendment Friday on America First with Dr. G. It is!

	As well as the auto-ordnance historic line, the 1911, the M1, and the Tommy Gun.
	Yeah, the civilian Tommy Gun.
	Check them out today.
	Likewise, thanks to all of the kind comments I have received on social media from all of you who said, Hey, that new Dr. G Mark II, pretty spiffing.

	It's Friday!
	That means it's national security, it's foreign policy.
	He's all casual today, not only has he taken his jacket off.
	He's rolled up his sleeves, which means he means business.
	Vice President of the Heritage Foundation, happy Friday, Jim Carrafano.
	Yeah, you know, Jim Jordan stole this look from me.
	You know, I've asked him on air live, why don't you wear a jacket?
	And he will not tell me.
	He stole the look from me.
	I know, copyright infringement, clearly.
	You've got to sue Jim Jordan.
	Jim Carrafano, JJ Carrafano to his friends on Twitter.
	It seems as if every permutation, the balloon story gets worse.
	Now we know, or apparently, a hobby club has claimed one of the balloons that was shot down.
	What's it going to be next?
	The Girl Scouts that we're attacking?
	Yeah, so to be clear on this, first of all, there's no question that the first balloon belonged to China.
	They said it belonged to China.
	Surveillance platform.
	You know, it was directed, so the notion that it just drifted is nonsense.
	It was emitting, and it was passing over U.S.
	targets.
	So clearly that was a spy thing.
	When they announced the other balloons, my first reaction, you know, because you always go with what's the most logical explanation for what you have, is it would not surprise me, having gone through the risk of doing this, that the Chinese would send multiple craft Just in case.
	multiple attitudes in different configurations to try to get find as many gaps as they threw and get through.
	So to me, if they all turned out to be Chinese balloons, that made perfect sense.
	Well, you know, now we find out that, first of all, they backtracked the first balloon to China.
	They actually followed it from the launch in From China, right.
	So these other balloons, okay, if they tracked one, wouldn't you expect the others to have a track, right?
	If you actually, now that they've released the discussion of the F-16 crew that shot down one balloon, it's very clear that what they're describing is not a surveillance balloon, right?
	And so, I don't really, at this point, know what is worse.
	If we had been attacked by three more balloons or the fact that the U.S.
	government, in a moment of panic, randomly shot down three balloons over the United States.
	First of all, as I'm sure everybody's heard the stats now, there are roughly about 2,000 weather balloons that are flown around the world every day, something like 800 in the United States.
	So this happens all the time.
	Balloons go random all the time.
	The FAA, everybody deals with this all the time.
	Do we shoot down random balloons every day?
	And the answer is no.
	We kind of put out, if it's a problem, we put out a notice to airmen.
	When was the last time you heard that we had to shoot down a random balloon?
	So obviously this is the administration panicking, right?
	Randomly shooting down balloons.
	It's nonsense.
	But as a former commander, as a guy who wasn't just an artillery officer but dealt with nuclear artillery weapons, The idea that on, I think it was Monday or Tuesday, he gets off the plane in Brussels for the NATO summit, and the former general, former Raytheon board member, who is currently the Secretary of Defense, in public, in front of cameras said, Well, yeah, I mean, I think it is.
	our intelligence community, will continue to verify the source, the nature, and the purpose of the balloons we have shot down.
	After we shot them down.
	Is that a problem as a commander?
	Well, yeah, I mean, I think it is.
	Don't you identify stuff before you blow it up?
	Because it's very clear that in retrospect now, listening to the pilots, and here is the deal.
	If you listen to the pilots describe the balloon that they're intercepting, it's very clear that they're saying, we don't see antennas, we're not getting electrical emissions, it's not piloted, it's obviously a random balloon that we see in America every freaking it's obviously a random balloon that we see in America every freaking day, and they shot it So it just, it's impossible.
	It's the opposite reaction to the balloon.
	And yet, still, the first balloon is a real attempt to gather targeting intelligence in the United States.
	And the President of the United States says, when I get on the phone with Xi, we'll get to the bottom of this.
	This is some kind of mystery or something.
	And the Vice President of the United States is asking about it.
	She goes, well, the balloon was not helpful.
	Right?
	Why they just can't tell the American people the Chinese ran a surveillance mission against the United States to collect targeting data for a first strike nuclear capability in the United States.
	Even if they thwarted it, why they wouldn't say that just shows the root of the problem here.
	They want to be tough on China, but they don't want to be tough on China.
	So let's go back to that original platform, which we know is a surveillance thing.
	It's 200 feet wide.
	It's got a complete array.
	It's emitting.
	It's clearly picking up signals, intelligence.
	Give us your analysis of what it means that allegedly, allegedly, on Wednesday the commander-in-chief says shoot it down and the chair of the Joint Chiefs who's not in the chain of command says no and they wait until it's over South Carolina's shore.
	Well I mean it doesn't really make a ton of sense that you couldn't find lots of wide open spaces to bring it down with a relatively Low threat that it would actually land something.
	And the other thing is, in terms of recovery, it would have been infinitely easier and infinitely cheaper to recover that.
	So there is a chance that something could have hit something.
	I get that.
	But I think it was remarkably low.
	Particularly the other thing is, all you have to do is get a couple hours ahead of the balloon.
	Put out a notice.
	Scatter people out of the area.
	I mean, particularly areas in the Midwest which are wide open.
	So I don't think it was the best.
	And here's the other problem with this.
	They said, don't worry.
	We jammed the balloon so it didn't actually transmit any targeting data.
	Well, as a guy who's worked with the military forever, you know the problem with that, which is when you do jamming, you actually don't want to tell people that you're jamming, right?
	You want the enemy to believe that their stuff's just not working, right?
	Oh damn, I told you not to buy that at Radio Shack, right?
	So you don't actually want to admit that you have the capability and that you're doing that.
	You want them to just be frustrated, right?
	You want them to think you're broke.
	So putting out this acknowledgement is you've given them intelligence that they really shouldn't be getting.
	And why are you doing that?
	Because you want to say, oh, I, I'm stupid here.
	Look, they could have shot the balloon down as soon as it came into U.S.
	territory, gathered all the intelligence collection, sent a very strong message to the bad guys, and they could have been heroes.
	Instead, remember, knowing the balloon was coming, their goal was to just ignore it.
	Now tell the American people that and send Blinken to Beijing.
	To Beijing.
	Right?
	He just dated himself.
	He just aged himself.
	Who remembers Radio Shack?
	I do.
	What a cool catalog they had.

	That's what I said at the beginning.
	Sorry, sorry, the, They just keep digging themselves a hole for this.
	It's just ridiculous.
	But how somebody who was a four-star general actually says that on camera, we will work out what it was after we shot it down.
	It's like, if you're a second lieutenant and you destroy something and you didn't know what it was.
	It's like, you know, we have no idea what the hell's going on in our airspace.
	Right, that's the bottom line.
	And you, yeah.
	So, it's just nuts away.
	Who is reporting that, Jeff, about that hobby club?
	Fox News.
	Fox News.
	Yeah.
	It's just, it's just, we just look like bozos.
	I'd love to know the reaction of the hobby club when they hear something's shot down and then they lost track of it.
	I bet, I bet they're excited.
	I bet they have to send up a, you know, F-16 to shoot down their hobby balloon.
	You know, it's like, what's the logic train here?
	Okay, so you weren't going to mention it to the Chinese because you didn't want them to know that you knew the balloon was coming.
	And then you're going to jam it, and so you don't want them to know why the balloon failed.
	It's like, what exactly are you trying to hide?
	Or do you think you're going to learn?
	I mean, I'm all for not... I mean, we do this all the time, right?
	We don't interdict stuff because we want to learn from... I get that.
	But I'm not seeing the logic train here.
	That's because you're presupposing there is one.
	That's your problem.
	So here's the most charitable scenario.
	They were going to send this balloon over.
	We jammed it.
	They didn't know we jammed it, and they would just say, oh, that didn't work, let's not try that again.
	And then we would've stopped them, and we would've never had to admit that they tried it, and we wouldn't have embarrassed them, right?
	That's the most generous scenario you can think of.
	But then you don't shoot it down.
	What?
	But then you don't shoot it down.
	Right, right, you just let it drift over, and you jam it the whole way, and they go, oh, the mission failed, okay, well, you know.
	But the fact that they were willing to do that, and they thought they could get away with it, That's incredibly brazen.
	And the fact that they felt that that was important, they needed that targeting data?
	And so it was worth doing this because they needed the targeting data?
	None of this sounds good.
	You know, the Russians didn't I doubt it.
	because they couldn't hit them.
	So they would want to-- So that-- But-- Until they could.
	And we were hiding from them a capability that we could track their balloon, or I don't know.
	It's just the whole thing's kind of-- maybe somebody thought this was a good way to respond.
	I can't believe they shut it down where I used to live when I was in college.
	That's such a small-- Surfside Beach, you know where you see that video that's everywhere?
	Yeah.
	Surfside Beach, that's the woman that took it there.
	It's one mile by two.
	It's a small town.
	Oh, that's hilarious.
	Alright, so we're doing Car 15, and we're going to talk borders and fentanyl.
	Oh, sure.
	Will you play 7 again for me quickly?
	Today, more than 300 Americans will be poisoned and died from fentanyl.
	You're looking at a place that much of it comes through.
	Tomorrow there'll be 300 more.
	That's the equivalent of an airline crashing.
	If an airline crashed in America every single day, by the third day, the entire nation would wake up and say we need to fix the problem.
	The American public
	will eventually find out what these three unidentified objects are, including which companies they belong to on which specific benign purposes they had.
	We would like nothing better.
	But I can't sit here and promise you that we'll get to that level of fidelity of detail.
	Kabul Kirby!
	Just keep on digging, my friend!
	Will the American public ever know where these balloons came from?
	Sorry, maybe not.
	Well, maybe the Illinois Hobby Club.
	Maybe we should ask them instead.

	I want to talk border with you, Jim, but first, national security aspects of Ohio derailment, 13 days for the federal government to respond to this emergency.
	Yeah, you know, I kind of link three stories together.
	So that, the balloon story and the border story, because I think they both talk about how far we have receded since 9-11.
	I mean, after 9-11, the only thing we said was, never again, right?
	In our heartland, we should be able to go to sleep and wake up and not worry about being murdered in our own beds.
	And we made this massive reorganization, not just in creating the Department of Homeland Security, but we created TSA, and we created NORTHCOM, and the U.S.
	Military Command, and we did things at the state and local level, all for the express purpose about making the homeland a harder target, right?
	And now what do we have?
	We have a border That is more wide open than 9-11, more open to terrorism than 9-11.
	So weaker than it was the day we created the department.
	We have air security, which we just had the most egregious bumbling of air security that we've had since they flew into the World Trade Center.
	And of course, we had, as part of that mission, the ability to rapidly respond to national disasters with FEMA and other agencies, the Department of Transportation, EPA, all coordinated at the national level.
	We have a border that's completely unsecure, we have the Keystone cops in the air, and we have a massive chemical spill.
	But 13 days for the EPA to get there.
	That's inexcusable.
	I will say this, and you know me, I'm not partisan, but what have we been doing with all the instruments of protecting the homeland since Joe Biden became president.
	We've been saying that your most important thing is to do the political priorities of the president.
	Yeah.
	And go after families at school boards.
	Become the world's largest human trafficking agency and bring in illegal aliens, right?
	Make sure everybody gets their CRT class.
	Make sure we have drag shows in all the Air Force bases, right?
	We've been focused on everything except the mission.
	And I think that's why you see stuff like this.
	It's hard to pick, but perhaps the worst offender of all is the man who By oath has the responsibility to protect the homeland.
	He's the secretary at Homeland Security.
	He's Alejandro Mayorkas.
	And here is being asked about his capability for open borders.
	Cut nine.
	What do you think is the basis for their calling for your impeachment?
	Do you think you've done anything wrong?
	No, I don't.
	I think it is a disagreement over policy and I think it is used for political purposes to continue a negative dialogue about a migration challenge that is not unique to the United States.
	There is something that's unique to the United States.
	We are the only nation in the world with open borders.
	Exactly.
	Yeah.
	And so it is unique to the United States, because every day that people like that say that, it is an advertisement for the cartels to bring people in.
	And I must say, I'm very proud of the Heritage Foundation and the role that we played in developing the base for why we should impeach Mayorkas, which is a huge research project that we did, which is on our website that you could read, which is all the evidence of why he has violated his oath and he ought to be removed.
	Immediately.
	The most egregious thing that they've done is Joe Biden actually said to the American people, illegal border crossings are down 90%.
	What he didn't say is, what we are telling people is, don't try to cross the border.
	Just go to a border crossing site and we will just let you in.
	Right.
	And pretend like that is solving the problem and decreasing illegal immigration in this country and bringing our borders under control.
	It's an absolute, utter lie of the worst proportion.
	And the thing is, is the cartels will take Joe Biden because you're still going to pay the cartel even to walk across the border.
	You're still going to pay the cartel before they let you get in line to walk across the border.
	So you're still putting billions of dollars in the world's biggest criminal organization who has nothing to do but take that money, buy more fentanyl, kill more kids, disrupt more cities, bring more misery to American families.
	I'll just remind everybody what I did on my Newsmax show just two weeks ago.
	You can watch it every Sunday night at 7 p.m.
	Eastern.
	I did some quick math.
	In the last 70 years since World War II in Korea, Vietnam, the G-WAT, 103,000 servicemen and women died.
	the GWAT, 103,000 servicemen and women died, 103,000.
	103,000.
	In the last year, 110,000 died in America as a result of fentanyl.
	More people died last year as a result of open borders than in 70 years of warfare.

	How long has it been, Jeff, since we went to SHOT Show?
	Has it been like a couple of months?
	It's only been a month, I think.
	What?
	That's crazy.
	It feels like months ago.
	So many great contacts we made.
	So many amazing new products.
	One of them, let's put the image up, is just this revolutionary gun.
	I heard about it the week before SHOT Show.
	I tried to buy one.
	Impossible to find.
	They'd sold out of them.
	It's called the 5.0, which is a pretty American.
	You can show there's another picture of it right there.
	And then I get to Vegas, I get to SHOT Show, and I get to shoot one.
	And it's as good as I thought.
	And then I get to connect with the people who made it.
	And guess what?
	It's made in America.
	How cool is that?
	Even cooler than that, we've got the man who's responsible, the president, CEO of a company that you should be familiar with, especially if you like the 1911.
	It's Armscor, it's Rock Island Armory, and he is Martin Tuason.
	Mr. Tuason, welcome to America First!
	Thank you for having me.
	So much to discuss.
	Your sister told me you love to talk, so this will not be a difficult interview.
	She said, I said, these are the questions I want to ask.
	What else should I ask?
	You don't need any more questions.
	He loves to talk.
	Tell me about this gun that has like taken the industry by surprise, looks very different, shoots very different, and apparently has a very different internal mechanism.
	Tell us about the 5.0.
	Well, the 5.0, first of all, we nicknamed it the Mona Lisa.
	We were developing it over seven years.
	It has a patented recoil system.
	Basically what it does, without getting into all the science of it, it changes the way the gun has a recoil system and how it absorbs into the body.
	So that it's a more manageable recoil, more straight back than up and down, like a flip, you know, with your cadence and stuff like that for your second shot.
	It's much easier to keep your optics and your gun on target and go for that second, third, fourth, fifth, sixth, tenth shot, you know, as quickly as possible.
	And of course, the trigger system in there is a single action trigger.
	With a 1911 grip, so it points true, not like some other striker fires out there or something like that.
	And when I say striker fire, it's because it looks like it's a striker fire, but it's got a hammer inside, right?
	So it's got a much, much better trigger.
	Oh, yes.
	Internal hammer fired.
	It comes with about a five pound trigger, but it feels like it's one.
	And explain for those who aren't familiar, like the people who just love the Second Amendment, like their guns, go to the store, go to the FFL and buy one.
	But you just said seven years to develop.
	That's a long time, Mr. Tewson.
	Oh, well, you know, we want it to be made in the United States.
	We thought that this would be the project that would bring us to the United States.
	So from development stage, prototyping, By putting together a small factory in Pahrump, Nevada, then realizing we couldn't find any employees and having to move to Utah.
	It was a challenge in itself just to set up the factory.
	And then the final stages, me and the designer of the gun, we had a difference in philosophy.
	I wanted to make it a production gun.
	He wanted to make it a custom gun.
	And I thought there was something in between where we could do that.
	So at the end, I ended up buying the design from him and And going on our own, and we came out with it a few months later.
	And you see the product we have now.
	I was very impressed with it.
	I actually met the woman who runs the factory that builds it, so I was very impressed, Lynn.
	Can't wait to give it a more thorough going through.
	But let's talk about everything else you do at Armscore, because if you go to Armscore.com, if you check out the website, Rock Island Armory, it's a veritable panoply of weapons, not just handguns.
	But one thing I have to ask you, as a person who I've been shooting for the last 40 years, but I only felt, you can flip through these images, I only fell in love with the 1911 about five or six years ago.
	I was a Browning high power guy, that's what they issued me in the British Army.
	But I look at your website, I look at the market, we are flooded with 1911s, with classic 1911s, with double stacks.
	Are you surprised By the resurrection and the massive popularity of this design that John Moses Browning came up with over a hundred years ago.
	Well, first of all, it's a tried and true weapon.
	It's won two world wars, right?
	And I think there's, at the time we came up with the Rock Island brand in the 1911s, you know, we had the same feeling in the Philippines.
	You know, everybody wanted a 45.
	Yeah, we call the 1911 a 45.
	Right.
	So my dad wanted to make a 1911 pistol and and me taking it to the US and coming up with the Rock Island brand, you know, made it sound more American.
	Yes, I know.
	It's a perception thing being a Filipino company.
	But I always say, hey, look, I've made up for it.
	I've opened two factories in the United States.
	All right.
	So two, that's two.
	And I employ a lot of Americans now.
	So, you know, I get the best of both worlds.
	I support my Philippine company.
	I even support our Turkish company now, our Turkish partners.
	And then we have American companies, which we have American labor.
	And we continuously grow it now with Utah and Montana.
	Actually, we just finished reporting Montana financials five minutes ago, right before you called.
	Wow!
	And it's doing fantastic.
	The Utah facility still needs to get its legs.
	We got a great product with the 5.0.
	There's going to be a lot of new interesting products coming out there too.
	All right, well we want you to keep building those factories in America.
	God bless you for employing Americans in America.
	Well, we can expand them.
	We'll expand them.
	I don't think I'm going to build another one specifically.
	I already have a firearms and an ammo.
	We'll just buy more land around it, put up more buildings.
	I shoot Arms Corps ammo as well, so check that out.
	Armscorps.com.
	Last question.
	We've only got a couple of seconds left with the CEO, President of Arms Corps in Rock Island Armory.
	What are you carrying today?
	Are you carrying a 5.0?
	Are you carrying a 1911?
	What are you carrying?
	I carry a 1911 TCM with 17 rounds.
	Ooh, the bottleneck, the little bottleneck TCM.
	If you're not familiar with that, it is a rocket in your pocket.
	I have a TCM and it's a lot of fun.
	All right, we're out of time.
	Your sister was right.
	We could have continued that.
	We'll have to get you back.
	Martin Tuison, it is Armscore.com.
	Check it out, the 5.0.
	It's sexy and it's made in America.

	Jeff in Columbus has been waiting a long time.
	Thank you for your patience, Jeff.
	Yes, can you hear me?
	Yep.
	Great.
	Well, I just wanted to touch base.
	Yesterday I missed your show, but I listened to the podcast.
	You guys were cracking on Mr. Scaramucci.
	Yeah.
	About a month or two ago, I was, you know, surfing through the TV and ran across him on some cheesy reality show where it's supposed to be like Special Forces and he started to go over the edge of a cliff belaying and he panicked and went headfirst into the rock edge and gave himself a concussion.
	Are you kidding?
	The mooch panicked and gave himself concussion.
	He did the panic, grabbed the rope by both hands and just went right over and smacked himself in the head.
	All right, Jeff, thanks for that intel update.
	Now Mr. G has to go find that.
	Stay on the line.
	We've got to reward you.
	Let's get him a copy of Why We Fight.
	That's for Caller Jeff.
	He'll get a signed copy.

	That's S-E-B-G-A-W-K-E-R.
	G-O-R-K-A-SebGorka.com.
	But stay on the line because I also want to know what that program is so Jeff, Mr. G, can find it.
	All right, the train disaster.
	We discussed it with Jim Carrafano.
	A viral video from newly minted Senator for Ohio, J.D.
	Vance.
	He actually went to see what's happening in his state and it was shocking.
	Cut six.
	Play cut.
	Hey guys, so I'm here at Leslie Run and there's dead worms and dead fish all throughout this water.
	Something I just discovered is that if you scrape the creek bed, it's like chemicals coming out of the ground.
	Can you come here and let me just show this to people.
	I don't know if you're going to be able to see this on camera, but watch this.
	Just see that chemical pop out of the creek.
	This is disgusting.
	And the fact that we have not cleaned up the train crash, the fact that these chemicals are still seeping in the ground is an insult to the people who live in East Palestine.
	Do not forget these people.
	We've got to keep applying pressure.
	That's how we're going to fix this problem.
	Thank you.
	So for those of you who are listening and weren't watching, so he's in a creek bed and he scratches the bottom of the creek, so underneath the surface of the water, scratches the rocks and the soil, and up pops this chemical film that coats the creek like somebody dropped You know, petroleum and oil on it.
	The most shocking thing ever, 13 days.
	13 days for Biden's EPA, Environmental Protection Agency, to even show up.
	Mayor Pete Buttigieg, Biden, Kamala, they just don't care.
	Next!
	It's a manhood hour with a real man, Lieutenant Governor of North Carolina, Mark Robinson.

	Can you send it to me first?
	Friends, this is America First, the manhood hour.
	What is it that makes a man?
	What are the non-negotiable things you have to demonstrate?
	Well, perhaps one of them is a willingness to risk it all and to tell the truth in public even when it might cost you because the truth is just so important.
	Here's a reminder of how it's done.
	A video that went viral And a video that shows you what it means to have a backbone.
	Play cut.
	You can take the guns away from us all you want to.
	You all write a law.
	I follow the law.
	I'll bring my guns down here.
	I'll turn them in.
	But here's what's going to happen.
	The crips and the bloods on the other side of town?
	They're not going to turn their guns in.
	They're going to hold on to them.
	And what's going to happen when you have to send the police down there to go take them?
	The police can barely enforce the law as it is.
	That's what I see.
	We demonize the police, criminalize and vilify the police, and we make the criminals into victims.
	And we're talking about restricting guns?
	How are you going to do that?
	Vilifying and criminalizing the law-abiding and doing nothing to stop the actual criminal.
	That's just a statement of fact.
	That brief extemporaneous speech at a town hall meeting in North Carolina propelled its speaker to become the 35th Lieutenant Governor of that great state and he's with us today for the Manhood Hour.
	We consider him a friend of America First.
	Lieutenant Governor Mark Robinson, welcome!
	Good to be here as always, Dr. Gorka.
	Very good to be here.
	Thank you for having me.
	Now, I think we've been in communication for at least the last six, maybe even nine months about getting you back in studio here.
	We set it up and it doesn't happen, and I think I know why.
	I don't think you're afraid of the swamp.
	I think you're one of those lieutenant governors that actually does stuff, so I think you might be a little bit busy.
	Is that the explanation?
	I am.
	We're very busy here across the state of North Carolina and we desperately want to get back up there and visit with you inside the studio and I believe pretty soon we're going to be able to make that happen.
	And not only that, before we started today, he gave out some classified information.
	He told me his favorite Vietnamese-Chinese combination restaurant in Chinatown.
	So you gotta come here because we gotta have that.
	What is it?
	The orange walnut chicken or whatever it was that sounded... Honey walnut shrimp.
	Oh, honey walnut shrimp.
	Very good.
	All right.
	All right.
	That's a date.
	We'll make it happen.
	In the meantime, we're going to do this remotely.
	It's great to have you on the show.
	We're going to talk about the assault on manhood, the assault on masculinity.
	But for those who missed that video when it came out, which truly went viral, I reposted it, so did thousands, tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands of others.
	Would you just remind us What was the background to that?
	What were you doing at the time?
	And if I recall, it was about the local council trying to ban a gun show.
	You weren't even an owner of a firearm.
	You served in the army, but you didn't own an AR back then.
	And you just decided to stand up and make a speech.
	So tell us, what were you doing back then?
	And why did you decide to take the podium?
	Oh, well, back then I was in my life was very busy.
	I was working full time in a furniture manufacturing facility.
	And I was going to school full time at the University of North Carolina at Greensboro, trying to attain my history degree.
	In fact, I was in I think I may have been in my last semester at UNCG.
	And I was had been saving money for a while to buy an AR-15 from the Greensboro gun show when I heard that the city council was trying to virtue signal Uh, through canceling the show because of what happened down in Florida, the shooting in Parkland.
	And, um, you know, I did a, I do a whole, I did that time.
	I was doing a lot of politicking on, uh, social media.
	I was more or less a kind of minor, uh, social media influencer in that sphere.
	Uh, did a lot of talking about, uh, you know, gun rights and other things.
	And, uh, I figured, you know, well, they're about to have this meeting that's pertinent to the, to an issue that I'm passionate about.
	I need to go and support the people that I know that will be there speaking.
	Did not plan on speaking, but when I got down there and I heard some of the things that were said, uh, I just, I got to clarify that you went to that town hall meeting with, with, without the intention of addressing it.
	Oh, no.
	Yeah, I had no intention whatsoever to speak because I was only used to, you know, speaking to me was you write a speech on note cards, you practice a little bit, and you present it.
	I hadn't written down anything, hadn't prepared anything, and I didn't want to say anything like the young people say.
	I didn't want to say anything out of pocket.
	And so I was not going to say anything, but after hearing some of the things that I heard that night in that hall, I just have to say it.
	I was infuriated and I felt like I needed to speak up and need to speak my piece, no matter what the cost may be.
	And so what you saw is a direct result of that.
	Well, one of the lines in that speech became the title of your first book.
	It was released recently.
	It's called We Are the Majority by Lieutenant Governor Mark Robinson, The Life and Passions of a Patriot.
	That's We Are the Majority.
	I think it's endorsed by somebody you may have heard of.
	His last name is G-O-R-K-A.
	Get the book, We Are The Majority.
	Tell us what happened after you gave that speech.
	Did the gun show occur?
	And how did you end up as lieutenant governor of the state of North Carolina?
	Well, yes, the gun show did take place, and they did drop that issue for a while.
	Eventually, they revisited a number of years later, and some changes were made in how the gun show was held in this area.
	But the gun show did survive, and after that video went viral, I was approached by politicians, pundits, activists, Who wanted to put me in front of folks to speak to them about our constitution and about conservative causes.
	So I found myself traveling all over the country.
	I went to a bunch of places, even went out of the country, even received an international award.
	I went to Nuremberg, Germany to receive an award there on behalf of those who were fighting for gun rights in Europe.
	You know, I was caught up in a whirlwind.
	I left my job.
	I left school.
	I put everything on hold to pursue these opportunities that I had in front of me.
	But it came down to a point where I said, you know, what are we going to do with this opportunity that we have here to reach out to people?
	Are we going to just talk?
	We're going to try to make money.
	What are we going to do?
	And the more people approached me about how much money I could make because this thing went viral, the more I became displeased with that idea and realized, That I don't believe God put me behind that podium that night to get rich and famous.
	He did it because he sees the rights that he gave us being threatened.
	And I think that he's raising up a regiment of people to protect those rights.
	And I believe that on that night, I was one of them.
	And so I said, if I want to continue to serve in that capacity, the best thing that I can do is step into the arena where changes are made.
	And that's the political arena.
	And so we decided to run for Lieutenant Governor and here I am.
	Well, we reached out to you almost immediately.
	We got you on the show and we are delighted to see what you have done with yourself and what you've done for the people of North Carolina.
	We're going to talk about the things you have been fighting against.
	The assault on men and women, critical race theory.
	You've been fighting that from your new office.
	Have things improved or has the left got even more aggressive since that meeting at that town hall?
	You know, I think that the left has gotten a lot more aggressive.
	And the reason why they've gotten more aggressive is because we've gotten more aggressive in pushing back.
	A lot of their efforts are starting to fail, thank God, because parents are waking up.
	Parents are demanding better for their children.
	They're demanding better for their neighborhoods.
	They're demanding better all around.
	And although we see the left raging and still pushing and still pushing these agendas, We're starting to see the average ordinary American citizen wake up and realize that many places in this country are headed in the wrong direction, and they're bound and determined to see it go in the right direction.
	So those folks are waking up, they're becoming politically aware, they're becoming socially aware, and they're pushing back against these agendas that, quite frankly, can end up destroying this nation.

	All right, so let's get down to business.
	First official question we have to ask on the Manhood Hour is how bad is the assault against gender as we know it, what men are, what women are?
	You're fighting it with your policies from the office of the Lieutenant Governor.
	How serious is the assault from the radicals?
	Well, you know, it's very serious.
	It is very serious.
	When you look and you see people who have the audacity to sit in front of kindergartners and discuss adult topics like being A non-binary and to discuss these adult topics.
	And again, there's nothing wrong with adults discussing these things amongst themselves, amongst other adults.
	But when you present these things to children, we're skirting on dangerous ice here, skating on dangerous thin ice here.
	And I don't believe the results will be good, but people are actually—they're actually very bold.
	Here in my office, when we presented some of the pornographic materials that are present in our school libraries and are recommended reading for minor children, when we showed those images at that press conference to the news cameras, those news media outlets blurred out those images when they presented it on their newscast.
	So I believe we're in a very bad place right now and we need to take a step back and realize if you want to have conversations about gender fluidity or about being non-binary or any of those associated topics, those are topics for adult people to have in their own private space.
	Those are not topics that should be shared with children at any school, I don't believe, and should never, ever be shared with minor children that are not your own children that you don't have purview over.
	But we can definitely see the assault on it because we can see it in our public schools and we can see it in other venues as well.
	Now, you're actually, you're not just, you know, an activist, you're not just a quote-unquote influencer, you're actually, you know, helping to run a state, a very important state in the Republic.
	So you're doing the policy work, the heavy lifting.
	So this next question, is really important.
	Have you identified, so all of these things like toxic masculinity, and we've got to undermine the patriarchy, all this kind of verbiage, this ideology, have you identified what the source is?
	Is it the teacher training colleges?
	Is Is it the unions?
	Is it a certain political party?
	In all your work that you've done since you've become Lieutenant Governor, have you identified an epicenter for all of this ideological garbage?
	You know, I know exactly where it comes from.
	It comes from the Marxist-Socialist It comes from the Marxist-Socialist-Communist way of thinking.
	They have to destroy our modus operandi as we know it in this nation, and our modus operandi is the nuclear family.
	Mother, father, and children.
	They call it a patriarchy, but it's, you know, anyone that knows anything about the nuclear family in America knows that mothers and fathers have been working as tag teams across this nation and throughout history since time began.
	There is no real leader in the home.
	Each individual leads in their own way and serves their own purposes to get done what they need to do for their households.
	By and large, much of what these leftists talk about when they talk about toxic masculinity and the patriarchy, It's this myth that says that men are brutal thugs that go around and keep their boots on the necks of women.
	We know that's not true, Sebastian.
	We know it's not true.
	We see it every day.
	I serve in the Senate with women who lead every day, and they're fantastic women, strong women who are great leaders.
	My own mother is the greatest example of leadership that I've ever seen in my life.
	So we know that their narrative is not true, but they must preach that narrative in order to destroy the social systems that made this nation so great so that they can fundamentally transform it into the socialist so-called utopia that they want to see.
	Fabulous answer.
	We salute your mother.
	Anyone who could help raise someone like you, Lieutenant Governor Robinson.
	That must be an impressive lady.
	You're talking about the family.
	Let's talk about, for a moment, so my former Salem colleague Larry Elder released a film last year called Uncle Tom 2.
	the movie about exactly this, the Marxist influence on the left in America and how it targets families.
	And the first four minutes of the movie, as the credits are rolling, are these incredible home movies that they found from black families from the 40s and 50s.
	And the imagery is big, happy families, affluent families, well-dressed families, there's grandparents, there's dad, there's big extended families celebrating America together. - Yeah.
	Is it fair to say that perhaps the black family has suffered the most from this assault on concepts of classic masculinity?
	Absolutely.
	I believe that's fair to say.
	Growing up where I grew up and how I grew up, I saw it firsthand.
	One of the things that unfortunately that has happened since the Lyndon Johnson's Great Society program, or as I call it, his assault on the black family, is that, you know, we've left behind the fact that we did our greatest work and we showed our best and we did our best.
	Even in the toughest times, Sebastian, in the toughest times in this nation, when racism was at an all-time high, black people achieved more and were able to overcome more when they worked together as family units, when there was mother and father and grandmother and grandfather.
	And when family was sacred and when we did not, we had not abandoned the concept of marriage and keeping marriages together.
	We achieved great things, but you see now that we are, by and large, in many areas.
	We have abandoned that, and you see the disrepair in many of those neighborhoods, the poverty, the despair, the generational poverty that exists.
	And you see what exists in those neighborhoods.
	You see broken families.
	You see mother and father not together to take care of the children, not together in the home.
	And so we see that proliferation of that, and it has been dreadful over the past decades.
	We're talking to the Lieutenant Governor of the great state of North Carolina.

	That's my name, Sebastian Gawker, in one word, .substack.com.
	Right, so this is a fun question.
	I've got lots of different answers over the weeks and months that we've been doing this.
	When you think of manhood, Lieutenant Governor, when you think of how you learnt what it means to be a man, who was it in your childhood, in your You know, early years of becoming a young man that influenced your understanding.
	We've had all kinds of answers.
	We've had fictional characters in invention novels.
	We've had football coaches, uncles, granddads.
	For you, who was the person that most helped you understand what you need to be as a man?
	You know, I don't think it was any one person, but I can tell you this.
	I would love to say it was my father, but I grew up in a very non-traditional house and didn't have a very traditional relationship with my father.
	But I went to church at a church called St.
	Stephen's United Church of Christ there in Greensboro where I grew up.
	And in that church was the first examples that I saw where I saw black men Who had good jobs, and were married, and maintained great homes, and were well-dressed, and had served in the military, and they were my role models.
	When I went to church and saw those men, they became my role models.
	And I sought to emulate many of them, and I could call them out by name, many of them now.
	But they were more or less my mentors in life, even though some of them I never even really spoke to or got to know.
	And I don't know if they know what kind of influence they had on me.
	But that was the first place that I ever saw men that I would, that made me know what I wanted to be and how I wanted to be.
	You know, someone asked me once, because a lot of times I'll wear cufflinks and, you know, pocket squares, and I like to look nice.
	And he asked me why.
	And I said, because I really feel that I owe a debt of gratitude to those who went before me.
	Who may not have been able to be in the position that I'm in, who may not have had any of the finer things in life, that may not have ever been able to wear a suit and tie, but worked hard every day to take care of their families.
	I owe a debt of gratitude to those men to now carry myself with the dignity that is befitting of their legacy.
	And so those are the men that I saw, those men that church and those men that I would see every day when I'd sit on my porch in the evening and watch the men come home from work with their lunch boxes and their hard hats.
	Those are the folks that let me know what it was, what it meant to be a man.
	Those folks who stood up and were proud of themselves and worked hard.
	So those are my first examples of manhood.
	Well, as an individual who hosts this show every day with a pocket square and my cufflinks, I can relate.
	It shows respect, shows respect for your audience and the people that you happen to be meeting with every single day.
	And what was your decision to join the military?
	How did that happen?
	Well, I tell you, when I was a small, when I was a young man, well not a young man, when I was a child, one of my favorite activities was to walk down to the public library.
	It was like a refuge for me, mainly because it had air conditioning.
	On a summer day, you know, you can go down to the library, sit at the table, enjoy the cool breeze and read books.
	And I was always fascinated with looking at books about the military and about police officers.
	And I would look at those books, but by and large, every time I did, all of the soldiers that I saw were white soldiers, which didn't bother me per se.
	But I can tell you how energized I became the first time, and it was at the church that I attended.
	I saw a black man wearing Marine Corps dress blues.
	I saw him standing in that church.
	And how old were you?
	Were you a kid or young man?
	I was young.
	I was maybe 10.
	Wow.
	Maybe 10 years old.
	And I saw him tall, strong, wearing those dress blues with those ribbons.
	And I just it gave me great energy.
	And it let me know that, you know, you too can be a Marine.
	You could be a soldier.
	You could be anything.
	And I distinctly remember that.
	And that is when I really made up my mind that at some point I was going to join the United States military.
	And then I was fortunate in high school to join what's called the Junior ROTC.
	That gave me some quasi-military training.
	And then from there, I went on to join the Army Reserves and become a medic with the Army Reserves.
	I had a great experience in the military.
	I did.
	It was a very good experience.
	Is there anybody in the military that had an influence on your understanding of what it means to be a man?
	Is there a drill sergeant?
	Anybody you worked with?
	Oh, absolutely.
	You know, that was one of the things that I loved about the military.
	I loved some of those older sergeants that I served with in my reserve unit.
	I was very young.
	I was 17 when I joined.
	And some of those older sergeants that were in there gave us such great advice.
	We didn't understand it at the time, but looking back on it now, they gave us some great advice and tried the best they could to get us to walk straight and narrow, and I believe to a great extent they did.
	And there are many, many people that I met along the way in the military who, you know, I greatly admired.
	We're talking to Mark Robinson.
	He's the Lieutenant Governor of the great state of North Carolina.

	That's 864-644-1900, myphdweightloss.com, myphdweightloss.com.
	All right, so you've answered one aspect of this already, Lieutenant Governor.
	And he...
	Here, I'd like you to help me understand, for you, what is the definition of manhood?
	What are the characteristics?
	What are the things that are non-negotiable?
	You mentioned one word already, that's dignity.
	If you're a real man, if you're a true man, what other characteristics must you demonstrate?
	I think the number one thing that a man needs to demonstrate is, and here it is, is responsibility.
	You are responsible.
	You need to display a sense of responsibility for yourself.
	You need to display a sense of responsibility for your children.
	And you need to display a sense of responsibility to the mother of your children, i.e.
	your wife.
	Responsibility is the hallmark of a man.
	We can talk at length about toughness, we can talk at length about education, we can talk at length about what you do for a living, but none of those things, none of those things will amount to anything if you are not responsible and do not have a great deal of responsibility.
	I can look back in my life and I can see when I refused to be responsible either for my shortcomings or for my mistakes, that is when I made my biggest mistakes in life.
	So responsibility has got to be at the top of the list.
	When you talk about a man being a man or manhood, a man should be responsible and should take responsibility for his responsibilities.
	I guess that's the best way I could put it.
	He should take responsibility for his responsibilities and not shy away from them at all.
	Deal with them head on and be the man that God would want you to be.
	And when you look at The next generation, when you look at the young boys, like the boy that you were, going to that library, looking at those books about our war fighters, what are the kinds of things we should be doing With that next generation, what do we need to teach?
	We can say words like responsibility and dignity, but what kinds of activities, what kinds of things should be on the syllabus of young boys to make sure that they grow up to be those responsible adult men?
	Well, the very first thing we need to do is we need to push this ideology of leftists that come from the leftists of this victim mentality, this soft bigotry of low expectation.
	We need to purge that from every learning institution that we can purge it from.
	It needs to be gone.
	Because the way that you encourage somebody to be responsible is by encouraging them to be excellent.
	And you cannot do that if you're allowing them to make excuses in life for their bad behavior.
	or even for their shortcomings, because with our shortcomings, we can overcome our shortcomings by applying ourselves appropriately.
	I've learned that in my life, and I've seen a myriad of people, numbers of people who have done that.
	They understand that they have shortcomings in their life.
	They understand they may have struggles in their life, but they deal with them head on, and they take the responsibility of tackling those things straight on.
	You're not a victim.
	Even if you are victimized, you're still not a victim.
	need to do is purge the victim mentality from our educational lexion, and we need to move forward and make sure that our students understand you're not a victim.
	You're not a victim.
	Even if you are victimized, you're still not a victim.
	You can stand up and be victorious if you strive for excellence and you do the right And that's what we need to be teaching our children and that's how we need to be teaching our children in all forms.
	I think we've got the title for this hour, even if you're victimized, you're not a victim.
	Those are very, very powerful words.
	What about the danger that I've seen?
	I've even suffered from it myself, Lieutenant Governor, that when it comes to our children's education, We kind of, you know, make them their lunch, put them on the bus or have, you know, the carpool pick them up and we kind of hands off and then they come back, you know, six hours later, eight hours later, and we're not paying attention to what's being taught in the schools.
	That has to end, doesn't it?
	Absolutely.
	And to a great extent it has.
	One of the, one of the things that came out of the COVID debacle was that parents got to look at what's going on inside of their classrooms and they don't like it.
	And they're speaking up.
	And they're understanding now, a great many of them, that in order to get it right, and to get it right for their children, they have to get involved.
	And thank God, so many parents now are getting involved in their children's education.
	And I like to say it like this, I don't want to see parents just get involved.
	I want to see parents be in charge of their children's educational destiny.
	That is what has got to happen in order for our school systems to be successful.
	Because as it stands right now, the status quo, like we said, is to put your child on the bus and trust that public education will take care of the rest.
	We can no longer do that.
	We have got to ensure that those folks that we trust at the public school to do the job of educating our children are giving our children what they need to succeed and not giving our children what they think they want, what they want them to hear.
	Not an agenda, not some social experiment, not social engineering, but honest to God education that's going to give those children what they need to succeed once they leave that classroom.
	Parents are demanding that in great numbers now and I hope to see it increase because that is the only way we're going to get to a place where our education system is what it should be in this country.
	The book is We Are the Majority, and that's a very important title, because we are.
	It's the radicals who are in the minority, the extremists, those who want to indoctrinate our children.
	We are in the majority.
	It's the new book by our guest, Lieutenant Governor of North Carolina, Mark Robinson.
	I'm Sebastian Gorka.

	ReliefFactor.
	Pain relief that's real.
	Pain relief that works.
	Pain relief that I started taking four years ago and relieved me of my lower back pain that had plagued me for nine years.
	Yes, almost a decade.
	But it's not just me.
	It's people like Leah from Ohio.
	This is Leah's story.
	One Sunday morning I sat on my couch in so much pain I was in tears.
	That's the day I ordered Relief Factor.
	Following directions, in eight days I found relief, only to get better and better.
	I'm a believer 100%.

	All right.
	I want everybody to get your bookmark, but the last question I ask all of our special guests is the same.
	When it comes to this assault on manhood, when it comes to this assault on the traditional family and the roles of the man and the woman, Are you an optimist or a pessimist?
	Are we winning?
	Are we losing?
	Has the tide turned?
	Where are we?
	Because they seem so organized.
	Even if they're in the minority, they just seem so organized.
	Where are we at and are we going to win?
	I believe we can win this.
	I believe we can turn the tide back.
	And what it's going to take, it's going to take for a reasonable people to stand up and say, we're not going to allow this.
	It's going to take churches to stand up and start declaring from the pastors, declaring from the pulpit that men are not from Mars and that women are not from Venus, that both are from the hand of God, and they were created to be compliments to each other and not at conflict with each other.
	It's going to take moms and dads to get down to those school boards and demand better for their children and say, our children are not going to be indoctrinated with this stuff.
	If you want to talk about this stuff, you go home and talk about it.
	But at the schoolhouse, we're not going to allow that for our children.
	And it's going to take ordinary citizens on their jobs to say, you know what?
	I'm just not going to be put up with being labeled something.
	I'm not going to be labeled as having toxic masculinity because I have big muscles and a deep voice.
	And women have to stand up and say, you know, our sports are not going to be destroyed because you think it's fair for men to compete against us in women's sports.
	Everybody's got their positions that they've got to push back on to keep sensible and level heads at the forefront.
	And so I believe that we can win as long as we don't shrink back and we continue to tell the truth and let the left know that we're not afraid of them because we have the truth on our side.
	And I believe there are a lot of people out there that will agree with us.
	I think the red pilling, the wake up moment for tens if not hundreds of millions of Americans is this transgender extremism.
	And recently you spoke at a church on this issue and the audio cut, the video cut is amazing.
	Let's play that.
	Something else I'm not supposed to say.
	Ain't but two genders.
	Two genders.
	Ain't nothing but men and women.
	And I can already see WRAL out there, they got their lickety pencils around.
	Trying to write fear so they can't.
	Get every word of this here.
	Get every word of this.
	You can go to the doctor and get cut up.
	You can go down to the dress shop and get made up.
	You can go down there and get drugged up, but at the end of the day you were just a drugged up, dressed up, made up, cut up, man or woman.
	You ain't changed what God put in you, that DNA.
	You can't transcend God's creation.
	I don't care how hard you try.
	The transgender movement in this country, if there's a movement in this country that is demonic and that is full of the spirit of Antichrist, it is the transgender movement.
	It's time for grown-ups and time for Christians to start standing up and being unafraid to tell the truth.
	Come after me if you want to.
	I don't care.
	You want my head?
	Here it is right here.
	Come on, come get it.
	I don't care because it's time for us to stand up.
	Now I'm not afraid to stand up and tell the truth about that issue.
	They're dragging our kids down into the pit of hell trying to teach them that mess in our schools.
	Tell you like this, that ain't got no place at no school.
	Two plus two don't equal transgender.
	It equals four!
	We need to get back to teaching them how to read, instead of teaching them how to go to hell.
	Yeah, I said it and I mean it.
	That is the preacher Mark Robinson.
	Mark, I'm confused.
	That's amazing, but I didn't see you reading any notes.
	No, there were no notes for that.
	That was straight from the heart.
	That was straight off God's plate.
	It sure was.
	We don't back up from those words at all because I have a higher calling than serving in public office.
	Serving in public office is a wonderful privilege.
	But there's a higher calling here, Sebastian, and that higher calling is to let people know the truth.
	And the truth of the matter is that we have folks out there right now that are preaching a gospel that says that God's Word doesn't matter and His creation is false.
	And that's not true.
	And that is destroying people's lives.
	You can look across this world right now and you can see how that is destroying people's lives.
	You know, I told the pastor of my church that I recently joined, I told him the greatest mission that I believe that I have is not to change people's political ideology.
	The greatest mission that I have in life is to bring the gospel of Jesus Christ to people so that people will be saved and they would not fall into hell when they pass away, when they leave this earth.
	to get people saved and see that their souls are saved.
	And that starts with telling us some hard truths about what's going on in this nation right now.
	I know a lot of people don't like it, but that's just too bad for them.
	They'll have to deal with that.
	I think that's fair.
	And we play, I don't know, a dozen clips every day.
	We've been doing this for four years.
	That is perhaps my favorite clip.
	God bless you, Lieutenant Governor.
	I want to do justice to a story that was told to me by somebody who was with you.
	About a year ago, and his name is Matt Schlapp.
	And he shared this story with us that he visited you with a group of people.
	And Matt said, somebody asked you, why do you do what you do?
	Why do you fight the way you do, given the cost?
	I mean, given, you know, you've been labeled a racist, cartoons have been drawn about you with depictions of the KKK, and you gave an amazing response to my friend Matt Schlapp.
	Do you remember what it was?
	I'm not sure.
	It was probably something along the lines of, you know, I'm just not afraid because God is on my side.
	You know, I look back and I see what all the other people have sacrificed for me.
	I look right here on the earth, people that have sacrificed for me.
	I look back and I see what those folks did at places like at the Edmund Pettus Bridge.
	And I look back and I see what the soldiers on D-Day, the cost that they paid for me, the soldiers at Gettysburg and all the places where people have fought for our freedom to give me the wonderful freedoms that I have.
	And then, of course, it all goes back right back to Jesus Christ.
	And it goes back to who we call the greatest man who was ever born to a woman, which is John the Baptist.
	John the Baptist was willing to give his head for the truth and for the glory of God.
	And Jesus Christ called him the greatest man ever born to a woman because of it.
	So the truth is all we have, and we have to declare it.
	And because we have God on our side, we cannot be afraid to do it.
	And I'm not afraid to do it.
	And all the naysayers out there, all the people who call all the names and say that I'm not fit to be in office because of the way that I believe, none of that matters.
	What matters to me is, when I leave this earth and I stand in front of God, that I hear those words from Him when He says, Well done, thy good and faithful servant.
	That's the only thing that matters to me.
	And making sure that along the way I save as many souls as possible and bring the truth to as many people as possible.
	Because that's what we have to do on this earth.
	We have to tell the truth and we have to stand up for what's right.
	Well, you said it much better than Matt did.
	Matt said something about you not wanting to be on your deathbed, looking at the ceiling and saying, could I have done more?
	But your version is so much more poetic.
	Mark Robinson, Lieutenant Governor Robinson, I wish we had Thousands of more people like you, especially in public office.
	I want to thank you.
	I know we're doing it electronically at a matter of quite some distance, but I want to thank you for what you're doing, not just for the people of your great state, but the example that you are demonstrating to all Americans and all Members of our, you know, Judeo-Christian civilization of what it means to have courage and to speak the truth and not care what the diabolically influenced people say about you.
	So, thank you, Mark, for what you're doing.
	Can't wait to see you for a Chinese dinner here in the swamp.
	In the meantime, it's We Are The Majority Is The Book.
	Follow him right now at MarkRobinsonNC and also the website is LtGov.NC.gov Sorry, LtGov.NC.gov I'm Sebastian Gorka, you've been listening to the Manhood Hour.
