	�� Welcome back, dear friends.
	Happy Mo- Is it all right to say happy Monday?
	I always write off Mondays.
	Mondays are rather difficult.
	But it's so great to be back in studio after how many days off?
	Oh my gosh.
	So many guest hosts.
	You're so amazing.
	Jim Hansen, Jennifer Horn stepping into the breach.
	Why?
	Because I guess I picked up something at CPAC the year before everybody got COVID.
	I didn't.
	I'd already had COVID.
	This time it was the dreaded strep throat.
	Now, I want to walk the line very carefully.
	Mr. G, put that phone on hold for a second.
	I need a sanity check.
	Some hosts talk a little bit too TMI, too much information.
	Should I talk a little bit about why I wasn't in front of the mic and just make sure it's not too much?
	Yeah, you gotta fill them in, I think.
	Alright, you got the dumb button in case I go too far, right?
	Yeah, well, if they heard you Thursday, they should have a little bit of an idea.
	Because I was listening to Jennifer Horton.
	Katie said, you gotta phone in!
	Phone in to your guest host, and I didn't.
	What did you say, Jeff?
	Who did I sound like?
	Mr. Kissinger.
	Mr. Kissinger.
	I sound like a hundred-year-old dinosaur, and the voice is much better than that.
	So, I still have my tonsils, okay?
	Too much information?
	Well, I just want you to know, I'm in the radio business, and when you get to a point that you literally can't swallow water, You listen to your wife's advice and say, go to that little Minute Clinic service down the road.
	And I did.
	Lovely doctor saw me.
	I think he's from India.
	Lovely chap.
	And he gave me a prescription for penicillin, like it was back in the 1920s.
	I mean, like OG penicillin.
	I said, uh...
	Okay, I'll take some penicillin and some painkillers.
	Next day, my throat was even worse.
	I went back and he said, yeah, and that's it, tonsils.
	They look like golf balls.
	He gave me an injection in my butt of some more antibiotics.
	By the same afternoon, I said, this is not working.
	I'm not functioning.
	I got to do radio.
	So I called my, my guy.
	Dr. P. Yeah, Dr. Pappas.
	You've heard him numerous times in studio.
	He is our voice of sanity when it comes to COVID and personal health.
	And he said, Stat, you need antibiotics that are real up to date.
	But first you need steroids, because without the steroids, the swelling is not going to go down and the antibiotics aren't going to do anything.
	Dude, within four hours, I could eat medicine.
	It's good.
	And so are second opinions.
	So here's my little Advice to you now that I'm back in studio.
	Never underestimate the power of a second opinion.
	You don't like what you're hearing from the first doctor treating you?
	Call somebody else and then you might be back on work on Monday.
	All right, so good to be back.
	Thank you to all of you for treating my guest hosts so kindly and for my team making sure everything worked swimmingly while I was away.
	The phone number if you want to catch up with Dr. G is So much to discuss.
	Are we on the edge of a banking collapse?
	Two banks down, a third teetering.
	And of course this administration says, oh no, no, no, no, no, nothing to see here, nothing to see here.
	We'll discuss that with our good buddy Stephen Moore.
	The latest cuts from Biden this morning about what happened in the Silicon Valley bank collapse and the signature bank as well.
	But first, a little thing of good news, of good cheer.
	If you fail to see, we talked about January the 6th, the release of the footage, the plight of the political prisoners that are still incarcerated just a couple of miles from this studio where we are sitting.
	And at the weekend, it's now still already the number one signal released We have President Trump with the January 6th Choir.
	This is the soundtrack that I played for you on my Newsmax show.
	We've played here of the detainees in their orange jumpsuits every night at 9 p.m.
	in that federal prison.
	They say the Lord's Prayer and they sing the National Anthem.
	And now President Trump with the January 6th Choir.
	They've turned it into a song and you need to buy it right now.
	Let's play a little clip.
	Cut one.
	Indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.
	For the land of the free and the home of the brave.
	USA!
	I'm confused, Eric.
	I thought we were told, especially by the Never Trumpers, that President Trump isn't supporting the January 6th detainees.
	I think that's pretty concrete support, don't you?
	Absolutely.
	That is one of the lies that absolutely needs to die the most about people who try to knock him ahead of 2024.
	And the fact that the song topped the iTunes charts, I don't know about you, I hadn't even heard of the song before it came out.
	I didn't see much promotion or anything, but to hear it do this well, That really shows how much grassroots support there really is for those prisoners.
	Yeah, yeah.
	I saw no promotion.
	I just got a heads up from Kash Patel who's involved with it and he said it's dropping right now.
	Check it out.
	It is number one, crushing it.
	It is the J6 Prisoners Choir with President Trump.
	Please go to wherever you buy your songs.
	Go to iTunes and support them by buying that song.
	Do it now.
	Please do it now.
	We're going to keep concentrating on those political prisoners.
	We're already planning the next episode of the Newsmax show on Sunday and make sure you are watching.
	We'll have some very special guests.
	That's next Sunday on Newsmax 7 p.m.
	Eastern, 10 p.m.
	Eastern.
	We have an amazing show for you today.
	We've got Making Movies Great Again with our good buddy Mr. Reagan aka Chris Coles.
	We're going to talk about a classic, truly classic 80s movie.
	We're going to go across the pond Next hour, to one of the most iconic, classic presenters in the UK, a colleague of Nigel Farage, who's a truth-teller extraordinaire.
	But first, let's concentrate on the insane broadcasters here.
	There's something called... I'd love to know what the viewership is for The View, because if it's a lot of people, we have some problems.
	And on, what was it, Friday?
	Because I know... Was it Jim who spoke about it on Friday?
	Was it Eric?
	Yeah.
	On Friday, they had Jane Fonda, the woman who betrayed America by hanging out with the VC, with the Viet Cong, during the Vietnam War, being fettered by the communists who were killing US GIs in South Asia.
	I guess she's still into violence, communism and murder, because this is what she had to say about anybody who thinks abortion is a bad thing.
	Cut 10.
	We have experienced many decades now of having agency over our body, of being able to determine when and how many children to have.
	We know what that feels like.
	We know what that's done for our lives.
	We're not going back.
	I don't care what the laws are.
	We're not going back.
	I think the women will rise up.
	That's the activists.
	That's Jane speaking.
	And she probably will get a Nobel Prize.
	But it's the truth.
	Very soon.
	It is the truth.
	We're not going to do it.
	Besides marching and protesting, what else do you suggest?
	Well, it doesn't happen overnight.
	It's not a miraculous... What did you say?
	Murder.
	She's kidding.
	Wait a second.
	She's just kidding.
	Don't say that.
	That's... Oh, you don't know.
	They'll pick up on that and just drop it in.
	Yeah, that's the worst.
	She's just kidding.
	It's... Well, let me talk to you about... And she's smirking.
	She says we should murder them.
	People who think an unborn child is sacred.
	We should kill them.
	Like that man who planned to kill Justice Kavanaugh.
	She's proud about saying that in public.
	Children, who cares?
	Unborn, especially.
	Kill them all.
	Well, we care here.
	We actually want to help them, help the innocent.
	It's the Lenten season and we are working very closely with Food for the Poor.
	There are over a billion children that are living under the poverty line right now.
	And they are on the ground in 17 different states of our hemisphere, helping them.
	They have the food, they just need to get it to them.
	If you want to say thank you to God, if you want to bless others, and if you literally want to save lives, please make a difference today.
	If you go to my website SebGorker.com and donate just $72, you will feed two children for a year.
	That's a one-time donation.
	If you double it to $144, you will save four children.
	You'll feed them for 12 months.
	It's one of the most amazing things you can do this Easter time or any time.
	You can call them 855-330-4673.
	That's 855-330-4673.
	Or just go to SEBGORKA.com and click on the Give Food Give Hope banner.
	Please save a life today.
	I'm Sebastian Gorka.
	This is America First.
	All righty.
	Okay.
	Titles.
	you got a moment Jane Fonda um um Pro-murder since Vietnam.
	to the view yep and Reagan and Graham - Right.
	Reagan.
	I don't even know how to classify this movie.
	All right.
	And Graham.
	Graham.
	What should we do for Graham?
	Could the Queen and like Boris were two of the bigger topics?
	Yeah.
	Brits still love President Trump.
	Very good.
	Alright, two and a half minutes.
	Alright, so... Consumer research.
	Yeah, I'm gonna use Bernie Marcus here.
	Bernie Marcus.
	And then... Yep.
	Actually, um...
	Come in with Bernie Marcus.
	Come in with Bernie, cut five.
	I'll do consumer research because it fits perfectly.
	I used to say, yeah.
	I'll tee up Stephen.
	Hello.
	Hey, buddy.
	And then I'll use cut two with Stephen.
	Cut two later on.
	All righty.
	All right.
	How you doing, buddy?
	It's been a crazy day, you know, with the bank situation.
	I bet.
	Are you traveling?
	Are you in a hotel?
	Yeah, I'm actually in Palm Beach for a conference.
	And so but I've been in my hotel room all day because of just keeping up with what's going on with Silicon Valley Bank.
	And it's kind of frightening.
	Although I don't think it's going to be a systemic, you know, bank run.
	Good.
	All right.
	You'll explain that for us.
	We'll play a cut from Bernie Marcus and Biden and then you'll explain it to us.
	All right.
	What's that?
	I'm going to play a cut from Bernie Marcus and then Biden and then you'll explain it to us.
	Okay, fantastic.
	Okay.
	All right, coming in with Bernie.
	So no liner, Alex.
	Yeah, that's right.
	Bernie, then Consumer Research.
	You didn't need me to record the Patriot Mobile, right, Alex?
	Yes, we do.
	You do?
	Yeah, but we can wait till tomorrow.
	Okay.
	All right, 60 seconds, Steven.
	Yay.
	alrighty and mic's off you you
	you you you you
	I think
	that the system, I think that the administration has pushed many of these banks into more concern about global warming than they do about shareholder return.
	And And these banks badly run because everybody is focused on diversity and all of the woke issues and not concentrating on one thing they should, which is shareholder returns.
	It's a very successful businessman, Bernie Marcus, talking about PacWest, First Republic and the Silicon Valley Bank.
	Is it going to create a broader collapse?
	We'll talk to our special guest momentarily.
	But first things first, there is an organization that has been investigating exactly that, the influence of ESG and left-wing ideology.
	On the private sector and especially on your future, on those management funds, those huge investment firms like BlackRock and Vanguard that have allowed left-wing politics into your future and your retirement funds.

	He's a good buddy of this show.
	He literally wrote the book Trumponomics and Govzilla.
	He is a senior distinguished fellow at the Heritage Foundation.
	Stephen Moore, welcome back to America First!
	Hi Sebastian, great to be with you.
	Alright, now I know you're on the road, you're so busy, you're speaking at an event in Florida, but you've made time for us because we need you to explain to us what's really going on, because as of a few hours ago, Joe Biden said, oh no, nothing to look at here, and even if there was a problem, it's not my fault, it's my predecessor's fault.
	Cut to, play cut.
	During the Obama-Biden administration, we put in place tough requirements on banks like Silicon Valley Bank and Signature Bank, including the Dodd-Frank law to make sure that the crisis we saw in 2008 would not happen again.
	Unfortunately, the last administration rolled back some of these requirements.
	Which is really weird that he said that he worked it out with Dodd-Frank, given that Bernie Frank is on the board of one of the banks that's going under.
	So, is it Donald Trump's fault?
	How bad is the situation, Stephen Moore?
	Well, look, I don't think we're going to see a systemic bank run.
	So I don't want to scare people because I don't think that's very likely to happen.
	Most deposits for middle class people and even upper middle class people are wholly insured by the FDIC.
	So you don't have to worry.
	But I do think there's some structural problems with the economy that have created this kind of environment where banks are losing money because of what's happened with interest rates.
	You know, they've gone up by 350 basis points or so since Trump left office.
	And why is that?
	Because of the massive spending spree in Washington that's necessitated the Fed to continue to raise rates.
	So I'll tell you one thing, though, because this is just I mean, I have smoke coming out of my ears when I hear that quote that you played From Biden trying to blame this on Trump.
	Sebastian, how many bank failures were there under Donald Trump?
	None.
	Zero!
	It would be like Joe Biden blaming the out-of-control border on Trump.
	Well, it's exactly the same number as countries that were invaded by Russia, Stephen.
	Everyone knows that those problems were not problems when Trump was president.
	This is a result of, I think, just odious and incompetent economic leadership in Washington.
	But when you look at the, and look, you're the economist, so please unpack this for us, but for me, it seems as if this was easy to predict.
	If you've got a bank entity that prides itself on, you know, woke values, politically, you know, left-wing values, and then funds itself by buying government bonds, which with a Fed Infrastrate hike become less valuable than the bonds you can buy today.
	Like, you don't have to be a PhD in economics or a Nobel Prize winner to say, this isn't going to last very long, Stephen.
	Great point.
	I mean, I don't understand it.
	How could anyone two or three years ago not see that interest rates were going to go up and they were going to go up by a lot?
	I mean, that had to happen with, you know, that we would move away from the Fed zero interest rate policies, especially when we had the Biden multi-trillion dollar spending spree.
	So it was predictable.
	And I'm sitting here scratching my head saying, why didn't these smart bankers I mean, look, they invested $5 billion in green energy last year.
	That didn't play out too well.
	But also, it's just incompetent leadership.
	And then the question is, Sebastian, should the federal taxpayers, should you and I be on the line for these mistakes these banks made?
	And when Biden says, don't worry, taxpayers aren't going to have to pay for this.
	That's nonsense.
	Who is going to pay for it?
	Who is going to bail them out?
	Because a bailout is coming.
	So what does this mean in terms of the rest of the banking sector?
	You say because the FDIC, anybody with, you know, up to $210,000, they'll be covered.
	But there are massive corporations that had up to 40-50% of their funds in, for example, the Silicon Valley Bank.
	And they have no access.
	Could that not, at least in the corporate sector, create a ripple effect, Stephen?
	It could.
	It could.
	Again, I don't want to kind of count people down.
	I don't want people to be excessively frightened.
	But you're right.
	Now, then the question is, if these corporations made, you know, really bad investment decisions, who should be on the hook for this?
	Yes.
	I'm sorry.
	I hate government bailouts, Sebastian.
	I hate them.
	If you make a bad decision, I believe in the free enterprise system.
	If you make a good choice, you should be rewarded by your wisdom.
	If you make a bad choice, you should suffer the consequence.
	I mean, does that sound hard-hearted?
	Uh, no, it sounds like being a grown-up to me.
	Am I being too hard-hearted?
	And by the way, there's another point here, Sebastian.
	If every time you make a bad investment decision, you know the government's going to be with a big safety net for you, that's called a moral hazard problem.
	It means people are going to take more and more big risks, because if you win, you win, and if you lose, the taxpayer loses.
	So you're going to get more risks, more bad decisions, more people running, you know, throwing Hail Mary passes, because if it goes incomplete, then the taxpayer is the one who bears the cost.
	If there are no consequences for being an idiot, you get a lot more idiocy.

	Want to post more?
	Uh, yeah.
	Okay.
	Title?
	I don't think there's going to be a run on the banks.
	Alright.
	Who got that footage from El Paso, Geoff?
	Looks like they were in the crowd.
	It was that Fox reporter, the guy that's always there.

	Bill something.
	The guy with the big hair.
	Griff something?
	No, Bill.
	No, no, no.
	Like Malusich or something.
	What is his name?
	Yeah, I know.
	What's the topic of line three?
	Jeff, I can't read it.
	About Silicon Valley Bank.
	Okay, good.
	go My pillow All right Two minutes.
	Can you kill a mic for a second?
	Kill the mics. Kill the mics.
	Kill the mics.
	A man.
	A legend.
	A legal immigrant.
	Dr. Sebastian Gorka.
	Thank you kindly, yes indeed.
	A legal immigrant to the United States, unlike these individuals.
	Nice segue there, Gorka.
	Let's play this footage.
	Unbelievable footage.
	This is the El Paso border crossing.
	It looks like a scene out of a zombie movie with illegal aliens just storming it into America.
	Play footage.
	If you're just listening to us, play it.
	You need to see this.
	Going up on my Twitter feed momentarily.
	But this is Biden's America.
	People just screaming and storming into America.
	That is the definition of an invasion.
	There is no national sovereignty in this nation.
	Utterly, utterly shocking.
	I feel really bad.
	I took the orders for all the Mark II, my pillows to get from Mike Lindell from my team.
	And I haven't sent them in yet, and I don't know where I put the orders from my team.
	I had an excuse!
	I was sick, damn it!
	I'll get the orders again.
	That's before I leave, and I will send them to Dawn.
	You know who you are.
	And they'll be overnighted to the team, and I will be Santa Claus with a strange deep voice as soon as they arrive.
	If you want to get your own, Mike's having some amazing BOGO offers.
	He sold 71 million of the OG MyPillow.
	I guess that wasn't good enough, so he's upgraded it to the 2.0 with Neewer.
	Up to date cooling technology because it's the pillow that never loses shape, never gets hot.
	Get yours today.

	Go to mypillow.com or call 800-829-8468.
	That's mypillow.com, 800-829-8468.
	But you got to use the code G-O-R-K-A.
	All right, I got to go to some calls.
	Let's lock the line so I don't miss anybody off that I don't have time for later in the day.
	But first, I want to show you how Political communication should be done.
	This is an amazing ad that is done by Citizens for Sanity.
	It's just superb and I wish the GOP learnt how to do this.
	It's kind of cartoonish in style but just listen to what they say because this is how you win elections.
	Cut three.
	Have you ever boarded a plane and thought to yourself, I hope the pilot is a transgender refugee?
	Have you ever gone to the emergency room and said, I hope my medical team is incredibly diverse?
	Have you ever moved to a new city and said, I hope the police department hit its equity goals for the year?
	If your answer to these questions was no, if you just wanted the most qualified candidates for the job, then you are normal.
	But we have a lot of very not-normal people running America these days.
	Left-wing politicians believe skin color or gender identity should determine who gets the job.
	Democrats used to care about the middle class.
	Now they just care about your race and your gender.
	And as long as Democrats stay in power, it will just keep getting worse.
	Stop the bigotry.
	Stop the insanity.
	Paid for by Citizens for Sanity.
	Jeff, why can't the GOP do ads like that every stinking day?
	I know, because they play it too safe all the time.
	They don't want to ever go after it.
	And they're afraid of being attacked.
	That's the biggest thing.
	I think you nailed it.
	Let's stay on the topic of the day.
	Line 1, Dave, Arizona.
	Happy Monday.
	Happy Warrior Day for Maricopa County, sir.
	The center of election pride in the universe.
	What's your topic?
	What's your question?
	Yeah, so I'd like to get your perspective on how much our psychopathic overlords expect us to take as we see with this latest banking crisis, like all the foreign wars, the housing crisis of 2008, COVID, they're all money transfers.
	They're all to steal money from the lower and middle classes and give it to the ultra rich, the MAGA rich, if you will.
	And it's just it's ridiculous.
	I need to know how much more can we take and how much more do they expect us to take?
	Thank you.
	Well, thanks.
	I appreciate it.
	I presume that's a rhetorical question.
	It's up to us.
	If you want to take control, you take control.
	You volunteer, you run for office, you take back America one school district, one local county commissioner at a time.
	It's truly up to us.
	It really is up to us.
	John, San Diego.
	Hi, Sebastian.
	There's a couple of problems.
	With these banks, first of all, part of this inflation problem we had is during COVID, they eliminated, the Federal Reserve eliminated the reserve requirement, which had been anywhere between 5 and 10 percent, depending on what kind of deposit.
	Yeah, but that doesn't affect this situation.
	This was government bonds.
	What's your second point, John?
	Well, sure, but with the government bonds, if you hold a bunch of government bonds that are low interest rate, That's what the futures market is for, for you to cover yourself when you know it's going to be a problem.
	They didn't do this.
	Well, they didn't.
	I mean, it's like 101 economics.
	And the fact that they want to blame it on President Trump tells you they don't give a damn about this.
	But yeah, you're right.
	And so was our previous caller.
	They're probably going to use your money to bail them out.
	Thank you, John.
	I'm Sebastian Gorka.
	Don't go anywhere, Maria and Matt.

	He's the man who created justthenews.com.
	He's our good buddy.
	And he also, John, John Solomon, why did you, I mean, there's lots of people there on media row.
	Why did you have the coolest setup?
	I mean, you had the curvy couch.
	It was like I was back on Fox News with this curved leather white couch.
	I'm impressed, John.
	Is that what you have back home?
	Did you bring that from your basement?
	No, no.
	That was all the great work of Real America's Voice.
	They had a wonderful setup out there.
	It was so easy to broadcast from there, and we had a lot of fun.
	The great thing about the curvy couch, you really can, you're really looking at each other when you're talking.
	It feels more like a conversation.
	I loved it.
	It was a great time, and we were so grateful you came, man.
	Yeah, we had a great time, but man, you were on air so much.
	It was like you were working the whole time.
	It was a lot of fun.
	With that many great people around, newsmakers around, you better be working full-time.
	It's a great opportunity.
	I felt really lucky.
	All right, well, follow this man.

	And also, please bookmark right now at justthenews.com.
	I always, you know, open No rehearsals.
	We can talk about whatever you want to talk about.
	And you said you want to talk about this bank that went under in Palo Alto.
	Well, it's all right, John.
	I think we've saved the time on this segment.
	We can talk about your favorite cooking recipes because Joe Biden has explained it all for us and it only took him 19 seconds.
	Cut to.
	During the Obama-Biden administration, we put in place tough requirements on banks like Silicon Valley Bank and Signature Bank.
	Including the Dodd-Frank law to make sure that the crisis we saw in 2008 would not happen again.
	Unfortunately, the last administration rolled back some of these requirements.
	So it's really weird.
	They had the House, they had the Senate, they had the White House, but it's President Trump's fault.
	John, help me out here.
	Listen, if you're two years into your presidency and you're still blaming the problems on your watch and your prior predecessor, then you probably are doing a really bad job in trying to deceive the American people.
	Listen, the only thing Joe Biden hasn't blamed on Donald Trump was him falling up the stairs on various times.
	Other than that, everything else is Donald Trump's fault.
	Listen, the bill he's talking about occurred in 2018.
	17 Senate Democrats actually voted for it.
	It was a bipartisan effort.
	It wasn't a Donald Trump effort.
	It was a bipartisan effort.
	And oh, the leader of the effort was none other than Barney Frank, one of the great fans of the liberal left, right?
	He's the guy that gave us the Dodd-Frank bill, right?
	Frank-Dodd bill that everyone talks about.
	So he was actually the one urging these changes.
	By the way, he was on the payroll of Signature Bank, that failed bank that just occurred this week.
	Here's the real problem.
	The regulators had warning signs for months.
	The Joe Biden regulators, the Joe Biden Treasury Department, they had signs for months.
	We know from going through the transcripts that back in July, Silicon Valley Bank was giving off signs that it was in big trouble.
	It announced it had lost about 8% of its investment portfolio in the second quarter of 2022.
	Now, most times that would be a red flag.
	Hang on, hang on, hang on.
	Let's just repeat that.
	In one quarter, they lost almost 10%.
	Yeah, it was about $150 million in its investment portfolio.
	And you can see JP Morgan and others, hey, that's a big jump.
	And normally you lose 2% or 3% in a bad quarter.
	8% is way over.
	What's up?
	And what's the bank focused on for the last six months?
	Well, it's focused on Pride Month.
	It's focused on ESG.
	It's focused on DEI, all the liberal woke policies that make everyone around Joe Biden excited.
	And now the question becomes, Did Joe Biden's regulators look the other way?
	Were they mesmerized by Silicon Valley Bank's DEI and other woke efforts that they weren't doing their job in watching investors and pension funds and all the other things that were tied up this weekend when the bank collapsed?
	That is a big question, and if it sounds familiar, well, it just happened with Sam Bankman-Fried just a few months ago, right?
	Yep.
	So you start to see all these darlings of the left, they're running financial institutions, and the American people's put at risk because regulators are not watching.
	Now, you have the best contacts in the business.
	What are your contacts telling you?
	Is this going to be just three banks, or could this be more?
	Listen, I think there's a lot of other banks whose balance sheets are doing poorly because the Joe Biden economy caused interest rates to go up and prices to go up and so people aren't putting as much into the banks.
	Investments are folding.
	If you're in a banking business and you haven't been watching your balance sheet, the next few weeks are going to be very difficult.
	Joe Biden kind of Calm things down today with not only a statement, but all the money they are going to put behind these banks to make sure that investors are there.
	That's a great legal question, right?
	FDIC said we're going to cover all deposits, even if they're over $250,000.
	There's a question.
	Under what legal authority are you going to do that?
	Where's the law for that?
	Again, maybe they made up a law that they didn't have.
	So you're going to see some questions about that, whether it's actually a real plan that could actually be enforced.
	But they quieted the nerves a little bit today.
	But there are other banks that have similar balance sheets as SVB and the Signature Bank in New York that went down.
	I think there's other banks that are going to Have a run, potential run, on their deposits if they have any more bad news.
	And once again, the Feds will have to come in.
	The big question, as Ro Khanna, a Democrat, asked this weekend on national television, where was Biden's department before this?
	Where was the Biden agencies?
	They were asleep at the switch for months!
	All right, we've got 10 seconds left.
	I just need a yes or no.
	Given what we've witnessed and your commitment to the truth on Russia collusion and FBI corruption, are you satisfied so far in what you're seeing out of the new investigations out of the House?
	Yes or no?
	Yes, a lot of progress.
	A lot of old-fashioned investigative progress.
	All right.
	If John Solomon says so, I feel much better.
	Follow him, jsolomonreports, justthenews.com.

	All right.
	Will you come in with -- Yes.
	Come in with a Fauci cup, please.
	Fauci?
	Cut eight.
	Alrighty, no liner.
	And I'm going to have a Halls lodging.
	What?
	Oh, no, I'm doing the editing.
	Oh, title for Solomon.
	I know it was the very end, but his words about the investigations was kind of encouraging.
	Yeah, but let's talk about the banks.
	Yeah.
	They all knew, um, Palo Alto Bank, Palo Alto, was it Palo Alto Financial?
	Silicon Valley.
	Silicon Valley, um, um, financial, um, was going under.
	what's going on there.
	All right.
	Fauci, others in the GOP have talked about arresting you and prosecuting you for your handling of COVID.
	What's your response to that?
	Your response to Musk?
	And what has that been like for your family?
	Well, I mean, there's no response to that craziness, Jim.
	I mean, prosecute me for what?
	What are they talking about?
	I mean, I wish I could figure out what the heck they were talking about.
	I think they're just going off the deep end.
	That's the answer to your first question.
	It doesn't make any sense to say something like that.
	Oh, shut him up.
	I'll tell him to prosecute him for what?
	For perjury.
	Oh, and how about funding the Wuhan lab?
	Latest reports, they got funded twice.
	Twice, yeah.
	The same time, double dipping from our side with your money.
	How about that?
	How about we start prosecuting you for that, Fauci?
	Because it did lead to, what, six million people being killed.
	All right, let's go to your calls, waiting very patiently in Los Angeles.
	Maria.
	Hello, Dr. Gordica.
	Hey, you gotta be super quick, because I have to get to Matt as well.
	Okay, very quickly, very quickly.
	BlackRock, which manages huge funds.
	Yeah, trillions.
	Trillions, well, or billions.
	No, trillions.
	What are we going to do if something like this, is it too big to fail?
	Yes.
	I think all of us need to be kind of concerned of where we're putting our investments, whether it's Vanguard, Fidelity, whatever we are doing.
	If they're going to this ESG, environmental social governance, it could compromise our retirement plans.
	Yeah, exactly!
	That's why we've got these great people at Consumers Research who can tell you, if you're with Vanguard, if you're with BlackRock, how in danger your retirement funds are.
	You're absolutely right.
	They are endangering your future, guys.
	Just go.
	Go to ConsumersResearch.org.

	How are you feeling?
	Better?
	Uh, look, my voice is a little bit weird.
	I think even I can hear that, but it's great to be back in studio, Matt.
	Yes, sir.
	And I heard of Liddy last week on your show, because you're right, I'm a loyal listener.
	And I heard her say that Jim Hansen is great.
	I agree.
	No, and so was Jennifer.
	Look, Jim's great.

	You don't want to miss it.
	Thank you.
	How things fare...
	Thank you.
	America First, the Trump phenomena.
	It's international now.
	Does Nigel Farage have a shot at being Prime Minister?
	And how has Blighty recovered from the loss of one of their greatest monarchs?
	We'll talk to our good buddy from Talk TV, the one and only Mike Graham.
	America first, hour two.
	The doctor is in America first with Dr. Sebastian Gorka on Salem News Channel.
	The antidote to the mainstream media.
	The antidote to the mainstream media.
	The antidote to the mainstream media.
	The antidote to the mainstream media.
	The antidote to the mainstream media.
	The antidote to the mainstream media.
	.
	Welcome, dear friends, dear friends, to America First, one-on-one.
	With me, your host, Sebastian Gorka, former strategist and the 45th President of the United States.
	And it's time to reconnect with a good friend.
	He is the champion of common sense.
	On the other side of the Atlantic, he is the host of the independent Republic of Mike Graham on Talk TV.
	Mike, it has been far too long.
	It really has been far too long, Sebastian.
	There's been so many fires to put out, both on your side and on my side.
	We've sort of forgotten to keep in touch with each other, but managed to get you on the show last week, which was brilliant.
	Everybody loved it.
	Everybody missed you.
	So let's start anew, as we mean to go on, because March is another, you know, another month has begun.
	So here we are.
	Indeed, and it's going to be a crazy year and a half here in the U.S., especially with the presidential primaries beginning.
	But I'm always curious.
	We have so much fun.
	It's like it's old muckers, old mates chatting with each other.
	When I come on your show, what kind of I'm just, you know, totally selfish and curious.
	What kind of feedback do you get from your viewers and listeners?
	People love you very much.
	I mean, our listeners are still very much on the side of Donald Trump.
	You know, they don't buy Biden at all, if you'll pardon the pun.
	We play out, as you probably know, on a regular basis, any clip I find of Joe Biden looking completely and utterly ridiculous.
	We play every single one.
	We sometimes play it more than once.
	And so we keep this sort of the Trump torch burning, if you like, because, you know, my listeners and my viewers would love nothing more than for Donald Trump to come back.
	So they love you by association, obviously.
	But also, they have a great deal of time for you because you understand Britain, you lived in Britain, your parents came here, you know the British radio scene, you know the British media scene, you know the political scene here, and also they love how you look.
	I mean, when we first started doing television together, you and I, You had one of the greatest looks of all the guests that we had.
	You know, we had people during COVID who were kind of showing up in their pajamas, you know, in their bedrooms, you know, with some weird stuff on the wall or, you know, really dark.
	You had this magnificent picture of the Capitol building.
	You were always dressed well.
	You know, and all that stuff matters, I think.
	People like it.
	But isn't that the British way?
	I mean, you've got to make an effort.
	In college, I wore a jacket and tie.
	What's happened to old blighty, Mike?
	What's happened?
	Well, do you know, similar to probably your east and west coast, you know, large parts of this country, particularly London, have been taken over by, you know, the sort of middle class champagne socialists who work from home, who don't like Brexit very much, and very much would like to tell you about how many thousand genders there are.
	And you really have to fight this tide against people.
	My own son came back from school the other day and said that there were 72 genders.
	I said, right, you can sit down over there, you're going to write them all down, and you're going to explain every single one of them to me.
	And he didn't get beyond about four before he gave up and went to his room.
	Now, the question is, was that response of rationality, did it embed itself in his skull?
	I mean, this is what my buddy who has the morning show in DC, Chris Plant, says.
	You want to know how to confuse a liberal?
	Ask them how many genders there are, because they can't tell you.
	So it sounds like things are as bad over here as they are over there.
	Well, we had a celebration in Prime Minister's Questions this week of International Women's Day, and Sir Keir Starmer, who's the leader of the Labour Party, wished everybody a very happy International Women's Day.
	The only problem with that is that he's unable to define what a woman actually is.
	He's not sure.
	And if you ask anyone in the opposition, in the Labour Party, which is like your Democratic Party, they can't say.
	They literally, if you want to really flummox, as we used to say in Scotland, a Labour Party politician, You just ask them to define what a woman is.
	They can't do it.
	Yeah, it's very complicated to say the words adult human female.
	Yeah.
	So difficult to do as Posie Parker is made famous with her billboards and her t-shirts.
	And talk to us a little bit, give us an update because I was following the news prepping for our chat today.
	She's probably the most influential, I know she's the richest author in the world, but J.K.
	Rowling is now in trouble, the Harry Potter authoress, Because she said 14 year olds shouldn't have their breasts removed in the name of transitioning ideology.
	So how serious is the insanity?
	Well, the uncertainty is pretty serious, but in fact it did away and did away for good with Nicola Sturgeon, you know, the high priestess of Wokery, who lives high on the hog in Edinburgh.
	I've been into Bute House, which is where the First Minister of Scotland lives.
	I was there when it was still relatively sensible as a place.
	This is the same First Minister of Scotland who had to resign her job because she insisted on making it possible for four-year-old children, let's not forget, four-year-old children to designate their own gender, for 16-year-old children to be able to transition into another for 16-year-old children to be able to transition into another gender and change their sex effectively without any recommendation from a doctor, without any medical evidence, and just on a whim.
	And she has now been castigated by this sort of trans community because she's a radical feminist, because she wants to protect women's rights.
	It's absolutely extraordinary.
	But help me to understand because, you know, it's like what happened in Australia with the zero Covid tolerance, the camps and the unvaccinated.
	I always saw Australians as, you know, tough, masculine, the kind of Crocodile Dundee.
	Likewise, the Scots.
	I mean, How did somebody like Sturgeon, this lunatic when it comes to modern political correctness, how on earth did she become a leading figure?
	Has Scotland changed so much, Mike?
	Well it hasn't really but what happened was she got in on the sort of Trojan horse of independence because there's always been an interesting kind of I would say more or less 50-50 split with say four points either way when they had their last referendum in 2014 it was 54 to 46 you know in favor of staying in the United Kingdom and actually more people than not want to stay in the United Kingdom but the local devolutionary government that was set up Yes.
	I've heard of this but tell the story.
	SNP, the Scottish National Party.
	And because they couldn't get independence, because they knew they'd never win a referendum on it, they had to find other things to sort of, you know, talk about.
	And she went mad to the point of view, I don't know how much you know of this story, of a male rapist who raped two women.
	I've heard of this, but tell this story.
	So this is perhaps one of the straws that broke the camel's back?
	This is the final straw that broke Nicola Sturgeon's back.
	A man called Adam Graham raped two women, I suspect raped many more, was charged and convicted in the court of law of raping those women.
	In between being charged and appearing in court, he decided he was going to transition to be a woman, right?
	So he gave himself a new name, called himself Isla.
	He didn't have anything done to himself.
	He still was fully male as far as his physical attributes concerned.
	Hang on, Mike.
	Hang on, Mike.
	I saw the photographs.
	He put on a pink fluffy jacket and a blonde wig.
	Yes, he did.
	And I'm afraid he didn't look very attractive.
	You know, and if you'd seen him in a pub in Scotland in the old days, he wouldn't have made it out conscious, to be honest.
	I don't know what was going on up there.
	But so he decides that because he's got rights now as a woman, he was found guilty.
	He was sentenced to prison.
	He was sent, believe it or not, and you may want to sit down even more than you are already for this.
	He was sent to a woman's prison.
	As a rapist.
	As a rapist, yes, in a place where women who would be vulnerable to rapists actually were being housed.
	And it was an extraordinary state of affairs.
	And what actually finished her off was when she was being interviewed by a very clever journalist for ITV, STV in Scotland, who said that the furore became so huge that the British government got involved.
	And they basically said they tried to pass a gender reform act, which made it possible for 14 year olds, 16 year olds to transition.
	The British government blocked it in Westminster, which they can still do.
	She was then asked the question, you know, is a trans woman a woman?
	And she said, yes, absolutely.
	And they said, well, what about a trans woman who's a rapist?
	And she said, well, she's still a woman.
	And that was how it all started.
	But of course, by the end of the conversation, she had to admit that actually, it's a very dangerous idea to put a rapist in a female prison.
	Because by law, in order to be a rapist, you must be male.
	This guy was male.
	So he's now been sent back to a male prison.
	And so her whole policy fell apart because she said, well, clearly, a woman cannot be a rapist.
	Therefore, a rapist cannot be a woman.
	Therefore, my whole idea that a woman can be a woman, if she said so, falls apart.
	There is some hope for the British Isles for the UK.

	Thank you.
	I'm joined in the studio by my colleague, Mike Graham. - Gosh, it's overwhelming to have to break the news and to have to contemplate what that means for all of us, isn't it?
	It's terrible.
	I mean, I didn't think I'd feel like this, actually, but I do.
	It's very upsetting.
	She's, you know, as I said, she's the mother that we've all had for such a long time.
	She's been a brilliant head of state.
	She's been everything that Britain is personified about.
	She's everything.
	She is Britain, you know, and now she's not here anymore.
	I saw that the day it aired.
	An incredible, incredible moment of live television, I think.
	Mike Graham was speaking for millions of millions of people.
	I grew up under that woman.
	One of my most prized possessions as a young boy was my silver Jubilee mug with the Queen's face on it.
	Mike, that was an amazing moment in broadcast television.
	Totally natural, totally authentic.
	It's so weird, I still can't quite internalize the fact that it's a king now, it's not a queen.
	How is the UK doing with this transition, this monumental historic transition?
	Well, I think it took us a while, I think, to even understand what had happened.
	I mean, that was literally recorded the moment it had been announced.
	And even though we were sort of prepared, we knew something had happened.
	We knew that day that she wasn't well.
	We knew that perhaps it might come that she would pass away.
	But when it came, It actually really was.
	I mean, even just watching that, I remember feeling very emotional about it because she was all of our kind of mothers, all of our grandmothers, and she'd always been with us.
	And people of my age and your age, you know, have never known anything else.
	You know, we've been talking about a new coronation coming up.
	And actually, we don't really know much about how coronations work because we've only had one in our lifetime.
	Right.
	There's only been one.
	And so now there's going to be another one.
	And Charles, I think, has inherited quite a difficult job.
	I think he's handled it quite well.
	I think nothing will ever be the same.
	I think people have begun to realize how valuable the Queen was, not just as a head of state and as a kind of a titular monarch, but also as constitutionally a real rock.
	You know, this is a woman who could speak in equal measure to Donald Trump and the Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia.
	Yeah.
	You know, she could speak to President Xi from China.
	Or a coal miner.
	Yeah, or a coal miner.
	She had to shake hands with Robert Mugabe, you know, who had blood on his hands, literally.
	You know, she's seen everybody.
	She's seen Russian dictators.
	She's seen Middle Eastern dictators.
	You know, she's met the presidents and the prime ministers of Israel.
	And as you say, she's also walked Down the street.
	I mean, I used to turn out every single day.
	I went to primary school in a place called Marylebone in sort of West London, which you'll know, very close to Lourdes Cricket Ground.
	And every year, whenever she would go to Lourdes, we would line the street with our little Union Jacks and we would wave them as the beautiful Princess Limousine would go past and the Queen would wave out the back.
	And it was a real thing in Britain.
	Back then, it seemed a very much more simple place, Sebastian.
	And I don't, you know, I don't want to sound like some old guy that doesn't understand the modern world.
	But we are no longer the same place.
	You know, London now, for good or ill, I would say for ill, is a minority white city now, 38% white.
	And that makes a big difference, not to everything, but London is not the city I grew up in.
	I, um, when I went back, oh, I don't know, maybe four or five years ago, and I spent 23 years, the first 23 years of my life in London, Mike, I didn't recognize the city.
	It was unrecognizable.
	Yeah, it's absolutely right.
	You know, and people talk about the multicultural feel of it.
	And I got that when I first moved to New York in the 80s.
	And it was a wonderful place to be, you know, but it was still extensively an American city.
	Yeah.
	And London, I think is an international city.
	And it's still a great city.
	And it's the city of my birth.
	And I will always love it.
	But it's not really doesn't feel like a British city anymore.
	No, no.
	So I find that sad.
	And I blame you know, I blame for that.
	Who?
	Tony Blair.
	Tony Blair.
	Tony Blair and the man he modeled himself on, Bill Clinton, have a lot to answer for, do they not?
	They really do.
	I mean, Peter Hitchens, who's a very, very interesting man, an author, a writer, brother of Christopher Hitchens, of course, who will be known maybe more to your audience, he says that Tony Blair's governorship of this country, the years, the 13 years that they were in charge, Was it 18?
	I can't remember.
	13 years, yeah.
	I mean, they just basically deconstructed the establishment.
	The establishment of this country used to be conservative with a small c. Now, it's socialist.
	Well, and not only that, it heralded in this concept, or for me is the antithesis of leadership, and this started with Clinton, where, you know, you wake up in the morning and your advisors tell you what the latest Gallup poll is, and you do that to placate the masses instead of taking the decisions that are of the greatest long-term import to the nation.
	It's the opposite of being a leader.
	Exactly right.
	They got everything so wrong.
	They said at one point that they should import people from Poland, you know, and people from Poland have been coming into this country for decades, right?
	But there was a specific sort of rallying cry went out because we needed some people to come and do the kinds of work that British people wouldn't do.
	They predicted, the Labour Party government, that 15,000 Poles would come.
	Do you know how many came?
	How many?
	A million.
	Well, and I understand they basically own the construction business now.
	Yeah, they do.
	And I mean, actually, we're very grateful for that.
	But unfortunately, what it's led to, what it's led to is the fact that you've now got people in Poland receiving benefits from the government in Britain, because they've had children, they've taken those children back, they're still on.
	The systems are so archaic, you know, we seem to be incapable of running any kind of public sector service, which is not completely and utterly busted.
	You know, we have an NHS, which is a health service that can't see patients, that can't actually has waiting lists of millions and millions of people.
	We've got a police force that doesn't arrest people unless you've committed a thought crime or a hate crime.
	We've got border force that can't stop people coming into the country because they don't know what to do about it.
	You know, it just goes on and on.
	We've got teachers going on strike.
	Yeah.
	We've got trains that don't work.
	I mailed, I mailed a birthday gift.
	I mailed a birthday gift to my buddy in the UK in October.
	It just returned here because they couldn't be bothered to deliver it in October.
	Do you think that the, we have the date now for the coronation.
	It's amazing that you know this is something that hasn't been done for 70 years.
	Do you think that injection of tradition that will be watched by tens of millions could be Maybe a rebirth for the UK?
	I think so, because certainly the Queen's funeral was that, because we're always told by the trendy lefties, you know, that republicanism is coming and people don't really want the royal family anymore.
	It's a bit of a waste of time.
	We've had this sort of sideshow of Prince Andrew and the sideshow of Harry and Meghan.
	But in reality, most Britons actually were very sorry to see the Queen go.
	They wanted to share the day and have some mourning period.
	And I mean, when you looked, I don't know if you saw the numbers of people queuing up Down the river to see the Queen's coffin lying in state.
	I mean, quite extraordinary.
	People were queuing up for 24 hours.
	And one of my favorite things about being British is that when the queue got too long, they started to pull another queue for the queue.
	You know, people were literally dying to see this amazing woman, even after she was dead.
	And I think that really bonded the country together.
	And I think, like I say, it's not the same.
	I think it will.
	One of the things that's great about Britain is the monarchy and the history.
	And you can't just wipe that away, even if you want to, as Tony Blair would love to.
	How British is that?
	A line to get into the line, a queue to start queuing.
	Utterly, utterly British.

	Boris Cut.
	The coronavirus is the biggest threat this country has faced for decades.
	And this country is not alone.
	All over the world we're seeing the devastating impact of this invisible killer.
	And so tonight I want to update you on the latest steps we're taking to fight the disease and what you can do to help.
	And I want to begin by reminding you why the UK has been taking the approach that we have.
	Without a huge national effort to halt the growth of this virus, there will come a moment when no health service in the world could possibly cope.
	Because there won't be enough ventilators, enough intensive care beds, enough doctors and nurses.
	It's a disaster!
	It's an apocalypse!
	Not enough beds, not enough doctors, not enough nurses.
	That's the former Prime Minister Boris Johnson.
	Bojo, as he is known to his friends and enemies.
	Now we have new revelations from the man who is advising on Covid policy from the UK.
	Shocking ones.
	Let's dissect them with our buddy Mike Graham.
	We had high hopes of Boris and then he went all limp-wristed and weak on us.
	Was it because of his catching COVID and getting a serious case of it?
	What's your take, Mike?
	I think the problem was, as we've been finding out incredibly brazenly this week, because there was a cache of WhatsApp messages which were on Matt Hancock's phone.
	He was the Secretary of State for Health.
	He had to resign in disgrace because he ended up getting caught out having an affair while he was in office, breaking all the COVID rules, all of that.
	You mean the guy who was having an affair when everybody else was meant to be locked up, locked out, he was gallivanting with somebody who wasn't his wife?
	He was at his wife and was pictured in a sort of a clinch with her in his own office, a Department of State on CCTV.
	That's how ridiculous it was.
	He had to resign.
	He wrote a book trying to sort of redeem himself, gave a cache of these WhatsApp messages that went between government departments, that went between him and his special advisors.
	And the tone of them was absolutely disgraceful.
	From the actual words of Inside Downing Street, Boris Johnson actually comes out quite well.
	He was questioning a lot of the things he was being asked to do.
	He said, do we really need these lockdowns?
	Do we really need to have these vaccine rollouts?
	But he did all of that.
	But these revelations have sort of scuppered many people now in the cabinet.
	The problem for Boris was Boris Johnson was a brilliant campaigner.
	He was a great mayor of London.
	He just wasn't a very good prime minister, I'm afraid.
	And there's this one text that has created most of the consternation where Hancock, the man in charge of the health measures, said, is it time to unleash the new variant?
	Meaning the information of the new variant to make people as afraid as possible.
	And the shocking situation that basically, Mike, there were four people, four people in a country the size of the UK that made all of these decisions.
	Incredible.
	Also, worse than that, there was evidence that came out today that Hancock's department was leaning on individual MPs who were a bit more reticent about the Covid lockdown, people who were questioning the lockdown, saying, are we really sure this is the right thing to do?
	And they were threatening to withhold money from them, threatening to penalise them in their constituencies, threatening to make them vote for the government or else.
	I mean, it was a real, you know, sort of North Korea style operation.
	And they were making up on the who.
	You know, it turns out the only reason they wanted people to wear masks was because Nicola Sturgeon said it was a good idea and they didn't want to look as if they were out of step with Scotland and that Scotland was ahead of England.
	I mean, quite incredible.
	The other phrase he used was We need to be making people more scared.
	In fact, we need to scare the pants off them so that they don't go out.
	And then they were laughing about taking people out of airplanes and putting them into quarantine in hotel rooms.
	Because don't forget, this is the kind of stuff that was going on.
	You might remember, you and I didn't travel across the Atlantic because of these restrictions.
	I didn't see my own mother for two years as a result of these people.
	Not because I couldn't get there, but because I wasn't allowed to go.
	Well there's his first mistake.
	He didn't use the word trousers.
	He said scare the pants off.
	That's his first mistake.

	Thank you.
	Thank you.
	And just come in with it.
	We had it.
	A Republican party that was ruled by freaks, neocons, globalists, open border zealots, and fools.
	But we are never going back to the party of Paul Ryan, Karl Rove, and Jeb Bush.
	That was one of the biggest applause lines in President Trump's speech on Saturday.
	We're never going back to the Republican Establishment Party of the neocons, the freaks, the Paul Ryans, the Karl Roves.
	The only line that got more applause, a standing ovation, was President Trump announcing that he will ban, he will forbid the surgical mutilation of minors on the altar of transgenderism and he will ban men from female sports.
	It's outrageous that a former president, God willing a future president, has to even say that in public.
	Mike, this problem of establishment parties, what my White House colleague Steve Bannon calls the Unaparty, We could be looking in a mirror in the UK as well.
	I look at these... I mean, look, you and I, I think, are of the same vintage, an excellent vintage.
	We grew up under Maggie Thatcher.
	For us, conservative means that.
	Labour means this.
	Right means that.
	Left means the opposite.
	It looks like you've got a bunch of guys who went to the same schools, believe the same things, which is nothing, they just, you know, believe in their own power, and they basically don't give a damn for the average voter.
	No, I mean, the whole concept for me of conservatism was indeed born out of the fantastic relationship between Ronald Reagan and Margaret Thatcher back in the early 80s, when they were both in charge of the United States of America and the UK.
	You know, they managed to do away with the Soviet Union, for heaven's sake.
	You know, a bigger achievement possibly than anything that we could have ever known.
	The idiots who came in later, the Clintons and the Blairs, let the Soviet Union basically back in.
	And that's where we are now.
	But that's another story.
	You mean in the form of the European Union?
	Well, in the form of the European Union, but also in the form of a powerful leader in Russia.
	Oh, you mean Putin's actual physical invasion?
	Right, right, right.
	Putin's invasion.
	And Putin, you know, he was treated the wrong way.
	We can talk about that in a different time.
	But as far as the, you know, the conservative government that we now have are taxing us more than we have ever been taxed since the Second World War.
	They are driven by high taxes, they are driven by net zero, the ridiculous green climate rubbish that no sane person can believe, who actually, you know, if you actually point me at somebody who says you'll get more power out of that windmill than you will out of that oil well, you know, show me somebody that I can rip off and take their house and take their car because they won't need it because they're too stupid to go outside.
	Yeah, so here's, um, I really, I don't see any hope.
	Let's show a photograph of somebody I think I made news with at CPAC a few days ago.
	This is a man you will know, Nigel Farage, who made Brexit possible.
	And I said to him, it looks like you're going to have to run for Prime Minister or, you know, create a party that wins elections and you're the head of it.
	And he said, maybe I have to, if nobody else does.
	You know, given that, what was it, 17 and a half million Brits voted for their independence to leave the EU, where is the political party or the political individual who represents those people?
	I saw this absurd argument over the border with Northern Ireland and Ireland and how the EU regulations will have to be You know, re-negotiated.
	How do you not have a natural constituency for a revitalized political body?
	Well, the difficulty for us is similar to your own, in that the two-party system means that unless you can somehow wrest control of each of those parties, as Donald Trump did with the Republicans, unless we can find somebody who can take control of the Conservative Party, as we thought Boris Johnson had done, You know, it's very difficult for another party.
	For example, the old Brexit party, which was Nigel's party, the old UKIP party has now become reform.
	It's going to be very hard for them to gain any more than just a handful of seats, you know, because the game is rigged against them.
	You know, when Nigel Farage got four million votes with UKIP, they got one seat.
	You know, the system is against them, you know, because there's just no chance for those votes to be, you know, counted.
	Some people say proportional representation would be better.
	I'm not sure that's true.
	I'm not sure I'm convinced by that.
	But, you know, I think it has to happen the way that Trump did it.
	Somebody good has to become the leader of the Conservative Party.
	They have to be better than Boris.
	They have to be more assured than Rishi Sunak.
	And they have to be more right wing than both of them put together.
	Any potential contenders out there in the wings?
	I don't think there are, because I've yet to find a mainstream, proper politician who gives up on net zero.
	They all want it.
	Explain what net zero is.
	This is the drive to make every single energy source green in the country.
	So you will have what's called renewables.
	I did another one of my famous interviews, another one you love with these politicians.
	I had Grant Shapps on my show.
	At the time he was Home Secretary, briefly.
	And I said to him, you've got to get rid of this net zero.
	It's costing us all money.
	Our energy bills are getting higher and higher and higher.
	We need coal.
	We need nuclear.
	We need oil.
	We need gas.
	We need to frack like the Americans do.
	And you know what he said to me?
	What?
	He said, but don't you want to be the world's leader in onshore wind?
	And you said no.
	I said no, actually.
	And do you know what?
	No one had ever given him that answer.
	He was baffled.
	Completely baffled.
	He thought I'd sort of somehow taken some kind of, you know, poison pill that I'd become, you know, Lucifer.
	It's unbelievable.
	They've all bought into it.
	And, you know, by supposedly 2030, seven years from now, you won't be able to come to Britain and buy a diesel Land Rover because they'll be outlawed.
	Unbelievable.
	And what about all these predictions that if you left the EU it would be a disaster and there'd be no chicken, there'd be no nothing.
	How are you doing?
	Are you starving there, Mike?
	How's it going?
	I mean, without wishing to make it a personal thing, I don't look as if I'm starving, do I?
	I mean, I've been doing just fine.
	I have a roast dinner every Sunday.
	I have porridge in the morning.
	If I have the odd kipper with a slice of toast, that'll be fine.
	We haven't run out of anything.
	And the one thing that we can't seem to stop running out of is bloody migrants who are coming here by the thousand.
	They all want to come here.
	They love it here.
	Now do tell me that you do have a little bit of brown sugar in your porridge.
	Do you know, I actually use a bit of honey.
	Nice!
	I'm a brown sugar man.
	I do love porridge in the morning.

	G-O-R-K-A. G-O-R-K-A.
	G-O-R-K-A.
	All right, Mike.
	What is your prediction?
	I have to know as somebody who grew up in the UK, the old bulldog spirit, the Tommy's of World War One and World War Two.
	Have these people been beaten down or is it simply that the people in the big cities like London are just noisier?
	The people in the big cities, unfortunately, are Labour supporting cities, right, because that's where an awful lot of the immigration is, that's where an awful lot of the champagne socialists live.
	You know, the Labour Party, which used to be the party of the working man, right, lost coal mining constituencies to the Tory party in the last election.
	The only place they'd won a seat was in Putney, which is southwest London, which is a bit like saying you won Georgetown.
	you know, from the Republicans.
	That's what it's like.
	It's full of million pound houses, 20 million pound houses, you know, Range Rovers, Volvo estates, all of that.
	No, the ordinary working class people of this country will never lose sight of what is important and what is British and who they want to run the country.
	And I think we're going through a bad period, but I think we will come out of it with that bulldog spirit because people are sick to death of being told what to do by government.
	We need to get back to small government.
	We need to get back to that great Ronald Reaganism, which is, you know, the worst seven words you can ever hear, whatever that was, you know.
	Yeah, I'm here and I'm from the government, right.
	Yeah, and I'm here to help you.
	Well, no thanks.
	We don't need your help.
	We know what we're doing.
	We need to be taxed less.
	We need to be invaded less.
	We need to be given more opportunities.
	You need to fix the health service, fix the police, fix the border control.
	And then, you know, let's see how we do after that.
	And if my old boss were back in the White House as 47 after being 45, how would the relations between the White House and 10 Downing Street fare?
	I think they'd be a lot better than people think, because Donald Trump is also a great sort of supporter of the British way of life, and an awful lot more people here loved him as President of the United States than anybody would have you believe in the media, because the media swamp is still very much full of swamp dwellers, I'm afraid.
	And when are we going to get you over the pond again?
	Well, I've got to come.
	My mother is still going strong.
	She's going to be 99, believe it or not.
	Oh my gosh!
	So I'm going to be coming over a couple of times at least this year, so I'll just have to get myself down onto the old Metroliner and get myself down to D.C.
	to see you.
	She's up near New Haven.
	All right, well give her our best, and I may be coming your way in the not-too-distant future, and I may just have to surprise you in your studios.
	What do you think of that?
	Well, you'd be very, very welcome, but we've got very tight security for obvious reasons, so just give me the nod, so I'll give them I'll make them slip you through the back door, but it'll be a delight to see you, Sebastian, so please do.
	All right, sounds like a plan.
	All right, follow this man.
	It's the independent republic of Mike Graham on Talk TV, superb YouTube channel.
	Look for the ones especially when he's interviewing the members of parliament just outside the palaces of Westminster, because usually They don't see it coming, and those are some fabulous interviews.

	Thank you.
	Thank you.
	Impressive.
	Most impressive.
	See things you people wouldn't believe.
	I want to talk to God. - Let's go see him again.
	Just listen to the old Porkchop Express and take his advice on a dark and stormy night, all right?
	When some wild-eyed, eight-foot-tall maniac grabs your neck, taps the back of your favorite head up against a barroom wall, and he looks you crooked in the eye, and he asks you if you've paid your dues.
	Well, you just stare that big sucker right back in the eye, and you remember what old Jack Burton always says at a time like that.
	Have you paid your dues, Jack?
	Yes, sir.
	The check is in the mail.
	Yes, sir, the check is in the mail.
	A rather unique character, the truck driver Jack Burton, the hero, if that's the right word, of a movie chosen by my co-host in Making Movies Great Again.
	It is, of course, Big Trouble in Little China.
	Is he there?
	Mr. Reagan?
	Chris Coles?
	You know what old Mr. Reagan says at a time like this?
	Checks in the mail.
	Thank you for that merch.
	Thank you for that merchandising extravaganza.
	He came to the studio in the swamp.
	We gave him a Maga Returns Trump 2024 hat and an America First mug and a Stay Frosty patch and he's wearing all three of them.
	Yes, I swear to you, the check is in the mail.
	Nicely done.
	And he's got the shades.
	We're gonna have to have a line of America First shades.
	What do you think, Chris?
	Oh, yeah.
	I mean, these are Burberry, but yeah.
	No, no, no.
	We're going to have to go in Jack Burton style.
	They're going to be mirrored, but they're going to be mirrored on the inside.
	All right?
	All right.
	I love it.
	Have you recovered from your trip to the swamp hanging out with the team?
	Yeah.
	OK.
	I wasn't going to go to CPAC this year.
	Seb goes, oh, you're going to CPAC.
	I'm like, all right.
	All right.
	OK, let's do it.
	So we head over there.
	Very generous host, by the way, Sebastian Gorka, the most generous host ever in the world.
	And in fact, Donald Trump said so himself.
	Somehow, Sebastian Gorka got me introduced to Donald Trump.
	I shake Donald Trump's hand.
	He points to Sebastian Gorka.
	He goes, this is the best guy right here.
	This guy is the best guy.
	They have a little chitchat.
	We move on.
	Amazing experience.
	CPAC was fantastic this year.
	So much fun.
	And the way you met the president, I mean, that was the top of it all, wasn't it?
	In the cooking facilities, the storage facilities, in the back as he was getting into the armadillo.
	That was the epitome, the epitome of it all.
	Well, the speech is over, right?
	Trump gives his magnificent speech, which, by the way, is, I think, one of the best speeches he's ever given.
	I'm impressed with this speech.
	I go up to you, and I'm going to put this on a video going up tomorrow morning, by the way, which you should subscribe to my channel because I've just done a video called, Slave Owners Were Not Bad People.
	And, you know, you don't have, like, you can't get spicy content like that anywhere else.
	Anyway, I like to be provocative, you know.
	And you are very good at it.
	Sorry, carry on with the story.
	Thank you, sir.
	I turned to Sebastian Gorga out to the speech and I'm like, that was perfect.
	You turn to me and you go, let's see Ron DeSantis beat that.
	And then we go to the back.
	You're like, let's go out through the back.
	And I don't really understand what you're doing.
	And you just walk right every.
	Secret Service Officer just opens the curtains for you.
	You know, we're just going, phew, phew, phew, phew, just through all the back corridors.
	And then boom, there's Donald Trump.
	You're like, hey, this is my good friend, Chris Coles.
	He's got a show called Mr. Reagan.
	It was crazy, man.
	It was great.
	And it's just about how authentic he is, right?
	He hadn't met you before, shook your hand, chatted for a minute, said hi to your brother.
	And it was like, just a guy, right?
	Not just, I mean, I will say he's very fatherly.
	He's got a much more genteel aura about him than you would expect.
	He's a much more sophisticated, interesting guy than what you see on television.
	You totally miss all the nuance of what Donald Trump is.
	People think of Donald Trump as a caricature.
	Well, that's just because they watch him on TV.
	You meet him in real life, he's got nuance, he's got sophistication, he's a much more elegant guy than you see on television.
	And a guy who I think, Chris I think it's safe to say, would like this movie.
	I mean, how could he not?
	How could he not?
	Like Big Trouble in Little China, one of the best movies ever made.
	Alright, so let's talk about this film.
	I love this movie, always have.
	I'm a big John Carpenter fan, but this is...
	This is not your average John Carpenter fare.
	First things first, and you know, he's a horror guy.
	I mean, The Thing, amazing.
	All of his movies have a horror, thriller genre, superb.
	I'm trying to understand, first things first, what flipping category do we put this movie in?
	Is it comedy?
	Is it fantasy?
	Is it fantasy comedy?
	Is it satire?
	What is this film?
	It's completely, you know, the phrase sui generis was designed for this film, wasn't it?
	Yeah, I think this is why the film didn't do so well in the box office, why it was very difficult to market.
	It's like, I don't even know what this is.
	When I say one of the best films ever made, I say that a little bit tongue-in-cheek because it is hard to nail down what this film is.
	I think of it as a comedy, but if you watch it as a comedy in 2023, the jokes don't all land, I think, because it's very much a comedy for the age that it was produced in.
	And there's so many special effects and it's so wild and it's so 80s.
	I mean, this is one of the most 80s, 80s films ever produced, you know?
	That's how I would categorize it, an 80s film.
	But also amazing effects.
	I mean, it's got the same guy who did the effects for The Thing.
	And also, you know, the... And Ghostbusters.
	Yeah, and Ghostbusters.
	But also the production quality.
	I mean, just the sets.
	I mean, I listened to the movie with the director.
	You know, with John Carpenter and Kurt Russell talking through the whole thing.
	They were using his sets from this movie in music videos for the next decade.
	Janet Jackson just said, leave that there.
	I'm doing my next pop music video on the set of The Battle at the end of Big Trouble in Little China.
	This was not a cheap film to make.
	No, and you can see that all the work they put into it, they really worked hard to make this film great.
	Which makes it very strange that a lot of the takes look like they were done in like one take.
	Yes!
	Like, a lot of the stuff seems so frantic, it just, it almost seemed like me and my friends when I was 13 going, Throw a camera up, let's make a movie and let's just shoot a scene.
	And it's so crazy and you get a lot of that sort of spontaneity in the movie.
	You might find that that makes the movie seem a little bit cheap or unpolished, but it also adds an element of fun.
	And I think that's the way that this film should be described.
	It's a really fun movie, right?
	You know, it's a popcorn movie.
	Is that why you chose it?
	Just because it's a great fun movie and also, you know, iconic from the 80s?
	No, I chose it because there was a poster on your wall in your office.
	He's so irreverent.
	What are we going to do with him?
	We're going to follow him.
	That's right.
	We're going to go to YouTube.
	We're going to look up Mr. Reagan right now.
	Also Alpha Critic.
	We're going to follow him.
	We're also going to go to Twitter.
	Mr. Reagan USA.
	He's my co-host.
	He's my CPAC buddy.
	He is a warrior extraordinaire.
	I'm Sebastian Gawker.
	This is American Fest.
	We are still in the Lenten season for a few more weeks.
	Are you looking for something meaningful to do this Lent?
	If so, we are partnering up with the amazing people at Food for the Poor who are on the ground in 17 nations taking food to those who are destitute, especially the children who are suffering through no fault of their own.
	These children are innocent, and they're starving.
	Over a billion of them on this planet, and they're on the ground right now feeding them.
	Think about this.
	A one-time, just a one-time donation of $72 will feed two of these starving children for a year.
	If you double that, if you double that to 144, that's four children.
	Four children you're feeding for a year, because Food for the Poor has the food.
	It's been donated.
	They just have to get it to these disaster zones.
	Make a difference today.
	If you've weathered COVID, if you're okay, if you're doing okay, if you want to say thank you to God for the blessings you've enjoyed.
	Remember what Jesus said, come unto me the little children.
	We have a special obligation to orphans, to children, to widows, and to those in prison.
	Food for the Poor is here to help those children.
	Please make a donation right now.
	It's super easy.

	And I suppose that you expect me to believe in sorcery as well.
	Of course!
	Why?
	Because it's real.
	How can I know that, Mr. Shen?
	How?
	Yes, how?
	Help me out here.
	Please.
	Ah.
	See?
	That was nothing.
	That's how it always begins.
	Very small.
	Fun way to start a movie, that's Egg Shen explaining after the event who Jack Burton is and how much of a hero he is.
	Why?
	Because the producer said, he's such a dunce.
	You gotta explain it.
	Let's put something in after they filmed the movie.
	They had to beef up Kurt Russell at the beginning with that little kid.
	Chris, an unusual character.
	And in the director's voiceover, if you watch it, they keep talking about the fact that other actors, unlike Kurt Russell, refused to take this part because they didn't want to look stupid.
	And they just have this ego trip.
	Too many egos.
	I guess that doesn't surprise you, having worked in Hollywood.
	No, yeah.
	People don't want to look bad.
	People don't want to look stupid.
	People don't want to look silly.
	But every once in a while, you just have to go with it and have a little bit of fun.
	And yeah, Kurt Russell's great.
	I mean, what a down-to-earth guy.
	He doesn't mind being a little self-deprecating.
	The funny thing about this character is it really is over the top, like massively over the top.
	Everything he does is in that sort of John Wayne kind of attitude, right?
	Uh, you know, this is a slow draw, everything.
	He thinks that he's the hero of this story.
	Oh, totally.
	But he's not the hero of this story.
	His buddy... Yeah, the little Asian guy is the hero.
	The little Asian guy who can kick anybody's butt.
	He's really the hero.
	He's got to save the girl.
	He's got to do all this stuff.
	Jack Burton shoots some concrete above his head and knocks himself out at one point in the movie.
	Right, and even the outfit.
	I mean this outfit, the kind of poncho jacket, the mullet hair, the trucker's hat, the shades, and then the thing that I love the most, I mean his dagger's pretty cool, he's a Blackie Collins dagger, but the knee-length suede moccasins, I mean just top it off perfectly, don't they?
	Yeah, it's almost like woman's boots.
	It's the weirdest thing.
	But no, he pulls it off, man.
	He's got the hero look.
	You know, the reason I think that Kurt Russell, and this is the thing, people don't realize what a star is.
	What is a star, right?
	A star isn't necessarily somebody like Schwarzenegger's hugely muscular or somebody that can do all kinds of acrobatics or fight in a movie necessarily.
	Really, what a movie star is, is somebody with the kind of charisma that makes them eminently watchable.
	The Asian dude, who's the actor, I don't know his name, but, you know, he's a fantastic character.
	He kicks everybody's butt.
	I've never done any martial arts until a movie.
	Is that right?
	I had no idea.
	He totally paused it off.
	I buy it.
	They had all the famous 80s, you know, martial arts guys.
	You know, they had the long-haired guy from Die Hard.
	They had the bald guy.
	I mean, these were iconic professional martial arts.
	If you bought, you know, Kung Fu Magazine, these were the dudes on the cover of Kung Fu Magazine if they weren't playing the baddies in Die Hard.
	But this guy, you know, the sidekick who's actually the hero, hadn't done a day of martial arts in his life.
	Yeah, and he's great in the film, and I actually love him in this movie.
	I don't really remember him from anything else.
	But the reason that Kurt Russell is the main character in the film, despite the fact that he's not technically the hero, is that he's just such a charming guy.
	You just love to watch him.
	You know, that's why he's a movie star.
	And he makes this film as amazing as it is.
	You know, this is a legendary movie.
	People remember this movie.
	They quote from this movie.
	They love this movie.
	It's a cult classic, really.
	It's a cult classic, I think, primarily because of Kurt Russell.
	Now, do you remember the beginning after he arrives and actually had Kurt Russell learn how to drive the truck?
	So he drives the semi into the market.
	The rest of it is done on a back lot, but that's actually the market in L.A.
	He drives it.
	Oh, wow.
	Yeah.
	It's not San Francisco.
	It's L.A.
	But after the trick with the bottle, do you remember that, you know, Wang tries to, you know, defeat us.
	It's all in the reflexes.
	Do you remember what Kurt Russell slings over his shoulder before he gets back into his truck?
	I do not.
	Saddlebags.
	It's weird.
	He's got a pair of leather saddlebags.
	Now, why is that?
	Motorcycle saddlebags.
	No, no, no, no.
	Brown leather.
	Horse saddlebags.
	For a horse.
	Because originally this was supposed to be a Western.
	Yes!
	It was supposed to be a cowboy riding into San Francisco in the 1800s and meeting all these, you know, mystical characters in a Western.
	That was the original.
	Good for you, Chris.
	Good for you.
	I did watch a little bit about the making of the film and the history behind it.
	Yeah.
	And originally it was a very serious movie.
	Um, let me tell you what I love about this film that I think maybe gets lost on a lot of people.
	It is shockingly weird, but all right.
	You know, like the villain has a, has a, As an orb of eyeballs that can telepathically communicate for him like a cell phone.
	He's got an updated version of Slimer, right?
	He's got Slimer with lots of eyes on it, right?
	But forget that!
	Talk about this weird.
	There's a gangland shootout at the beginning In the back alleys, and then suddenly from the sky, these three elemental warlocks arrive.
	No explanation, no backstory, zip, nothing.
	They just start lightning bolts out of nowhere.
	I mean, that's what's fun.
	Look, here we go.
	Well, that's the first amazing moment in the film where you go, Like, there's so many WTF moments, right?
	Where you're just like, what the heck is going on?
	But it's done well, you know?
	The lightning, these guys are like these weird creatures with these massive hats.
	But they're like these demigods or something like that.
	It's all shocking, but it all works.
	And now, why does it all work?
	Why do all these weird things work together?
	Here's my theory, and I was trying to work it out as I watched it, because this is only the second time I've ever seen it.
	First time was actually just a few years back.
	And I remember being amazed at how great this movie was.
	I mean, weird, but fantastic.
	I don't understand how it was developed, but I understand why it works, which is that it all works within a cohesive world.
	I, I, whoever figured out this movie thought, okay, these are the rules of this film and we are going to follow them.
	We're not going to break the rules.
	These are the rules and we're going to create a world that works within this context.
	And so you, when you do that, you can make callbacks.
	Like there's a moment in which, uh, you know, like, like you said, there was this, uh, bet that they made where he could Cut the bottle in half and it doesn't work but Jack Burton the bottle flies out at him But he catches it because he's got these amazing reflexes, right?
	One heroic thing about him is his reflexes Because he's crapping everything else, yeah.
	Basically, yeah.
	And then it will come back, right?
	It'll come back.
	And then it comes back, because they had the world in their head.
	They knew the rules of the world they'd created, even though it's this bizarre fantasy world.
	Again, a film he's only seen twice.
	That is his level of dedication to our show.

	All right, an amazing supporting cast in this show.
	Somebody who I think is an immortal, the man who played Lopan.
	Let's have a little reminder of just how good he is.
	Oh, boy.
	Look, we came here to see David Lopan, all right?
	Ah?
	David Lopan.
	And you have succeeded, Mr. Burton.
	What, you?
	I don't get this at all.
	I thought Lopan... Shut up, Mr. Burton!
	You are not brought upon this world to get it.
	Shut up, Mr. Burton!
	I mean, from Blade Runner to Big Trouble in Little China, I'm sorry, James Hong, he's just like this immortal figure.
	Is there only one Asian actor in Hollywood?
	I know.
	He is a legend.
	He's fantastic.
	He's so funny.
	You know, it would be interesting to work with that guy.
	I feel like he'd be a riot on set.
	I don't know, but that's the sense I get from watching him.
	Do you have the video, the Gangnam Low Pan video, Eric?
	I completely forgot about this.
	Do you remember Gangnam Style, Chris?
	Oh, yeah.
	Yeah, yeah, yeah.
	Okay, this is the Low Pan Gangnam Style music video.
	Did you ever see this?
	I think I told you about it.
	No, I didn't either.
	I think I told you about it.
	Okay.
	Yeah, I played it for you.
	Tell us about this.
	Oh, well, this came out weirdly like just maybe like 10 years ago or something like that.
	When the Gangnam Style video came out, somebody did David Lopez style and they did a complete parody.
	And it's like amazing production quality.
	I mean, it really looks like Lopin.
	I mean, it's unbelievable.
	How is Big Trouble in Little China not massive if it can produce this 30 years after it came out?
	Yeah.
	Yeah.
	I mean, the reality is Big Trouble Little China really does get a lot of respect.
	I mean, people do absolutely love it.
	It just didn't get the respect it deserved when it came out originally.
	But people understand now, you know, this is a legendary film.
	It's insane, but it's legendary.
	All right, let's talk about the other characters.
	We've got James as Lopin.
	We've got Kim Cattrall.
	It all kind of works.
	I mean, she has a fun kind of fight.
	Her energy goes back to like the 1940s, kind of fun, female comedian, don't you think?
	It's kind of throwback.
	Oh, absolutely.
	Yeah, she's totally over the top.
	I mean, every, I don't know what they were thinking when they made this film.
	I don't know what drugs they were on or, but yeah, a lot of the performances are over the top and almost caricatures of other kinds of characters that you would see in films.
	But people don't really remember, there was a lot of this kind of weirdness in the 1980s.
	You had, like, Max Headroom.
	Do you remember that character?
	He was, like, on MTV.
	And, like, even RoboCop is really a bizarre concept when you think about it.
	And a lot of films use the puppets like this.
	The only thing I don't like about this film is that puppet monster.
	That thing is so gross and weird-looking.
	You mean the one that chases Kim?
	That chases Gracie-Laure around?
	It comes out of nowhere.
	Has again, no backstory.
	Where did it come from?
	Why is it there?
	None.
	Zero.
	There's just suddenly this, this thing erupts and you know, screams.
	There's a little bit of an explanation.
	He says, uh, you know, one of the characters says like a thousand years ago, there was a bunch of earthquakes, which awoke all these monsters.
	And, uh, yeah, I think it's, yeah, when they're in the cave out here and, uh, and then they have to face off against all these monsters.
	So you can maybe kind of explain that it's one of these monsters or something, but it's like super loyal to Lopin and like everything about this movie is just completely nuts.
	What about the scene we couldn't find?
	There's one scene we couldn't find online to put here and that's when they have to swim through the water.
	And suddenly they're swimming through these horrific dead bodies.
	That was like, I thought it was a comedy.
	What is going on?
	Yes, exactly.
	Yeah.
	Well, they explain at some point that in China, there's not just one hell.
	There are like a thousand different versions of hell.
	And apparently Lopan somehow has made those hells appear on this planet and their rooms Within his sort of like building in San Francisco?
	I don't know.
	Why do you sound surprised?
	Why do you sound surprised?
	Stop sounding surprised.
	This is a John Carpenter movie.
	It is called Big Trouble in Little China.
	We are reviewing it.

	Eric tells me that he's the only person to not have, in his caliber, to not have been nominated for an Oscar award.
	It's shocking, especially after What happened last night, what a farrago!
	But let's celebrate this unusual character, Jack Burton, as played by Kurt Russell.
	A man who, even in the midst of this movie, that great line, that complete persona he puts on when he walks into the brothel of the geek, absolutely hilarious.
	Eric has been working seven nights on this montage of the best moments of Jack Burton.
	Wait a minute, wait a minute!
	I'm a reasonable guy, but I've just experienced some very unreasonable things.
	Depends on how you look at it.
	The hell it does!
	So somebody, I don't care who, tell me what is going on!
	This is gonna take Cracker Jack timing, Wang.
	Total concentration.
	You ready, Jack?
	I was born ready.
	Are you crazy?
	Is that your problem?
	Hey!
	Sorry.
	Sorry, I'm just thrilled to be alive.
	May the wings of liberty never lose a feather.
	Ah.
	Ready?
	Follow the leader.
	One, two, three.
	She may be trapped.
	Son of a bitch must pay.
	Okay, you people sit tight, hold the fort, and keep the home fires burning.
	And if we're not back by dawn, call the president.
	Well, I might have the president's number, but I just need to know, Chris Coles, were you born ready, or are you just thrilled to be alive?
	There's a couple of things that were missed there.
	Oh, well, look, come on!
	Eric has to sleep sometime!
	Eric?
	Eric, what are you doing?
	No, the best line in the film is, uh, you know...
	You know what Jack Burton says at a time like this?
	And the guy says, uh, who's Jack Burton?
	And he goes, Jack Burton, me!
	I don't know why I always love that line.
	And then at the end, he's leaving.
	He's like leaving to go back on the road.
	And Kim Cattrall's sitting there looking all, you know, sexy, like, you know, you're just going to leave me here?
	And her friend says, well, aren't you at least going to kiss her?
	And he just turns to her and he goes, no.
	And he just walks off.
	It's like, this movie is so crazy.
	There's so many unexpected moments.
	It's so funny.
	I mean, it's really a funny movie.
	And, uh, I don't know.
	I just love, I love that character.
	He's such a dope, but his buddy, his buddy, who's, who's sincerely a badass, treats him with the utmost respect.
	I mean, except when he's trying to cheat him out of his night's winnings.
	Yeah, that's true, yeah.
	But throughout the rest of the movie, as they're going out on this adventure, he sort of treats him like he's almost superior to him as a hero, right?
	And he's got this, he's sort of like AOC.
	Totally incompetent, but with tons, tons of confidence, you know?
	Oh dear, alright.
	The place I didn't think we'd come to...
	No, no, it's a terrible metaphor.
	I think John Carpenter is shocked right now.
	Why was this?
	You are a man of Hollywood, or rather you have.
	Of all the movies to do it with, I think John Carpenter is shocked right now.
	Why was this?
	You are a man of Hollywood, or rather you have – Oh, and I just love the massive – the kind of thing that you only see on the bottom of the mud flaps of trucks has been recreated in five-foot-wide chrome on the grill of the truck, and it's that sexy woman, and it just says, hauling ass – I mean, that is Jack Burton.
	Why, as a person who has lived and worked in Hollywood, why was this before it was a cult movie.
	Is it the usual case of they didn't know?
	I mean, I think they spent peanuts on it.
	I think they spent $2 million on advertising it.
	Is it just the ad guys having no idea what magic they had in their hands?
	Yeah, I mean, we discussed this earlier.
	It definitely was a movie that you couldn't define very easily.
	You couldn't categorize it in a genre.
	I think it was a difficult movie to sell.
	It's definitely weird and at the time, I'll say this, at the time there was a lot of Eastern mysticism and yeah other like special effects and puppeteering and all this kind of stuff so and it was such a bizarre story that I don't really I don't know if it differentiated itself so Significantly at the time that it was released When you have a bunch of weird stuff in the 80s, you know, do you remember garbage pail kids?
	Yeah I mean the 80s was a weird time It was.
	You know, we think about some of the great movies of all time, right?
	The Indiana Jones films and stuff like that.
	You know, the Star Wars films, even though it started in the 70s.
	But we think of these great epic films, but there was also a lot of kind of like weird, low-budgety stuff that came out in the 80s.
	Well, there was also leg warmers.
	There were shoulder pads.
	I mean, neon sunglasses.
	There were some problematic times.
	Yeah, Spandex.
	The 1980s was kind of a funny era because you had a lot of different layers.
	You had cocaine addicts in DC and in Hollywood, and then you had the evangelical right that was trying to bring back Christianity in America.
	It was a strange balance of forces, and there was all kinds of different stuff.
	I don't know if Big Trouble in Little China Differentiate itself as a fascinating fun film as much at the time as You know something people saw as maybe a bit trashy or weird right and and like looking back I think people can appreciate it more because it's probably the best film of that type and And it was actually done intentionally to be a little bit over-the-top and funny, whereas a lot of the films at the time like this might have been unintentionally over-the-top and funny.
	And it also introduced stuff that would become iconic later, I mean the whole end fighting scene.
	Of the guys flying through the air, sword fights in midair.
	There's something called, you know, Crouching High... What is it?
	Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon.
	The whole movie's based on all of that!
	I mean, the fact that John Carpenter in a comedy introduces it with Kurt Russell kind of blows my mind.

	Chris, John Carpenter, great legendary film director, is also known for, well, doing his own music.
	Iconic, you know, whether it was horror movies or everything.
	He's there on the synth.
	He's writing it.
	He's making it.
	Not sure this was a winner.
	Play the music video for Big Trouble in Little China.
	We'd better run.
	Run into the mystic night.
	Run until they take us away.
	Take us away.
	Take us away.
	All right, that's enough.
	That's enough.
	Thank you very, very much.
	Yeah, we... Not quite Halloween, is it?
	Well, he's an interesting guy.
	I mean, what a bizarre thing to do.
	You're like, oh, you know what?
	Okay, I'm going to make this movie called Big Trouble in Little China.
	It's going to be really funny.
	It's going to be a very self-aware, over-the-top comedy.
	And then I'm going to do a music video.
	I'm going to make the theme song for the movie.
	I mean, first of all, a theme song for a movie, I guess it was a lot more typical in the 1980s.
	But such a strange thing to do, then for the director to do it himself and then to star in the music video.
	And to star in the video, I mean, and so wooden.
	I hope it was a parody or satire, but I have a feeling he's too much of a geek and he really was that wooden.
	Alright, that was super fun.
	Guys, if you haven't seen it, if you've only seen it once, like, My co-host.
	Go and watch it tonight!
	It's Big Trouble in Little China, a much underrated but now cult movie.
	I do believe, Mr. Regan, that you chose today's fair.
	Is that correct?
	I did, yeah.
	I did.
	Does that mean it's my choice?
	I believe so.
	All right.
	In that case, I want to choose something from that wonderful intro we use every week.
	All right.
	You struck a pose in our studio last week with an edged weapon.
	That is a classic pose from a certain movie with an Austrian.
	I think I know.
	I think I know what this movie might be.
	What is it, Chris?
	And I haven't seen this movie since I was like probably 10.
	Wow.
	So I'm excited.
	What is it?
	We're talking about Conan the Barbarian.
	We are talking about hearing the lamentation of their women.
	Conan the Barbarian!
	Are you ready?
	Man, I can't wait.
	It's been a long time.
	It'll be fun to watch this from beginning to end.
	Alright guys, we're just gonna go off and do some work.
	You know, watch Conan the Barbarian, because that's what we do here.
	I'm Sebastian Gawker, this has been Making Movies Great Again with my buddy Chris Coles.
