	♪♪♪ ♪♪♪
	♪♪♪ Mondays are supposed to be a slow news day, but not this Monday.
	As we prepare for the debt ceiling negotiations between the Speaker of the House and the President,
	we must discuss the violent events of this weekend in Brownsville on the border where
	a man used a vehicle to kill people who were standing in line on the side of the road.
	In Allen at the mall in Texas, Mauricio Garcia gunned down innocent people at the mall.
	We have to talk about the imminent dissolution of Title 42 that is going to precipitate an
	even larger invasion across the border.
	And in two days' time, allegedly Congressman Comer will be releasing the information of
	the numerous crimes committed by the Biden crime cartel.
	All that and so much more to discuss here on America First.
	Do not go anywhere for the next three hours because you will regret it.
	I spent my late Friday and most of Saturday meeting with you.
	Meeting with the people who are the most important part of the show, which is our dear listeners.
	I went to an amazing Freedom Expo in Florida, about an hour from Orlando, and I met with the local director of the answer station there, Tim Robich, his amazing team, Chris and all the others.
	And we had an amazing expo at a Harley-Davidson motorbike dealership.
	If you want to go to have a fun event, you should probably do it surrounded by American Steel.
	And it was an incredible organization.
	Organizational feat we had Todd sailor there on the platform the Americans coach Motivating people sponsoring the event.
	We had a firearms manufacturer there as well a spikes tactical we had Corona cigars every single one of my team has now been handed a cigar because of the Very, very gracious, gracious behavior of our sponsor.
	And also I got to ride around in a 1941 Willys Jeep and check out an original Harley Davidson from World War II.
	Thank you to Eric, John and the team who brought that American Steel hardware from World War II to the event.
	But I want to talk to you about one person.
	She knows who she is.
	She met me a year ago when I was at the Freedom Expo in Seminole at the Harley-Davidson dealership and she came up to me with her veteran husband and handed me this leaflet and it means a lot to me because it means that we're actually achieving something with this show.
	The title of the leaflet is in the battle for America, you must first get on the battlefield.
	Let me tell you what this woman has to say to all of her fellow Americans.
	You must get on the battlefield.
	Dr. Sebastian Gorka, a former deputy assistant to President Donald J. Trump, spoke in Florida recently about the political problems we face.
	He then asked if there were any questions of the audience.
	One man asked, What can we do to fight all of this?
	Corker looked at him almost incredulously and said, Didn't you hear what I was just talking about?
	Let me make it plain.
	If you are not a precinct committee man or woman at your local Republican executive committee, then you are not even on the battlefield.
	You must get on the battlefield!
	In 2016, when President Trump first ran, more than half of the 400,000 precinct spots were empty nationwide.
	America First citizens are now attempting to fill those spots, but are running into resistance by the establishment Republicans known as the RINOs, the members of the quote-unquote elite of the Never Trumpers.
	Okay, well, now we know what happened during the last two national elections.
	It's clear.
	Not enough America First citizens were involved in the political process at the most basic level where they could influence, with their vote, their party's local, state, and national decisions.
	Locally, county commissions and school boards are stacked with rhinos who refuse to stand for Republican values or listen to parents pleading against mandatory masks, vaccines, critical race theory, sex talk with children and equity programs.
	In Seminole, four out of five school board members, three rhinos, handed the school board superintendent's job over to a Democrat lawyer.
	She is now initiating the LGBTQ agenda in the schools with her new equity committee.
	Can America and Florida count on you?
	There's a battle being waged across the nation.
	Will the establishment Republicans, aka the RINOs, the elites, and the never-Trumpers, continue to dominate the party on the county, state, and national levels?
	Or will the America First Patriots rise up, take control, and vote in leaders who will protect the principles of the Republican Party platform, including the right to life, legal immigration, energy independence, religious freedom, free speech, election integrity, and the Second Amendment?
	Will we see a true red wave at the next election?
	Or will it just be another disappointing set of rhino ripples coming ashore?
	The good news is the choice is up to you.
	God bless you.
	You know who you are.
	Thank you for taking my message seriously.
	For getting engaged.
	For running for a local office.
	And for getting your fellow Floridians to do so.
	And coming up to me with proof that the message is being heard.
	Because the question is the one you just set on the back of this pamphlet, dear lady.
	Will the America First Patriots rise up, take control, and vote in leaders who promote the principles that we believe in?
	It's such a short, concise summary.
	The right to life, legal migration, energy independence, religious freedom, free speech, election integrity, and the Second Amendment.
	She's doing something about it.
	What about you?
	We can win, but only if we're on the battlefield.
	Are you on the battlefield?
	Answer the question honestly.
	And if you're not, what's stopping you?
	Is America not important enough?
	Is your future, is the future of your children, your grandchildren, simply not important enough?
	If it is, pick up the baton like this lady did.
	God bless her and all who are stepping into the arena and onto the battlefield.
	I'm Sebastian Gorka.
	This is America First coming to you from just outside the insalubrious, fetid, rank, malodorous, noisome swamp that is Washington, D.C.

	All right, first guest of the day is perfect for the impending news, perhaps, from the GOP according to Congressman Comer.
	He is, of course, Fox News' legal and political analyst, Greg Jarrett.
	It's been too long.
	Welcome back, Greg.
	Seb, great to be with you, as always.
	I have a long list of topics to discuss with you.
	Let's just start with one that I need your legal acumen on.
	We now know, under sworn testimony, that the acting director of the CIA, Mike Morrell, colluded with the then-Biden campaign to orchestrate this letter of 51 former intelligence officials, including CIA directors, to promote the disinformation That the Hunter Biden laptop story was a Russian ruse.
	Now, is there any... I mean, it's shocking enough that makes Watergate look like a storm in a teacup.
	Is there any legal recourse here?
	Is there some kind of election law contribution in kind or abuse of office, given that this person was at the highest levels of the intelligence community?
	Or do we have to just shrug this off and say, hey, that's how the deep state works?
	Well, all of the election fraud statutes, most of them federal, deal with voting systems themselves.
	And, you know, malicious acts like ballot stuffing and trifling with machines, trying to conspire with others to get election officials to miscalculate.
	So, frankly, the answer to your question is No, it's not a crime to lie and smear and deceive the American public.
	If it were otherwise, just about everybody in Washington would be behind bars.
	But, you know, I do think that this should surprise no one.
	51 former Intel officials who falsely claimed the Hunter Biden laptop story was Russian disinformation.
	It wasn't.
	But they succeeded in suppressing this story anyway with a critical assist from their partners at the FBI who directed social media companies to censor it.
	And, you know, journalists complied.
	It turned out it was a piece of cake for Mike Morrell to round up 50 other liars in the intel community.
	More than willing to deceive the American people and help Joe Biden get elected.
	And of course the person he was colluding with in the Biden campaign gets rewarded by becoming Secretary of State.
	That's Antony Blinken.
	Let's stay on the topic of Hunter Biden for a second.
	One of the articles you sent me from your website, please, right now, make sure you
	are bookmarked, thegregjarrett.com, has to do with the callousness of the Biden family,
	how the cruel and callous Bidens refuse to help a little girl who is one of their own.
	There seems to be a reason that the incumbent in the White House doesn't know how many grandchildren
	he really has, and recently his son was forced in court to appear in front of a judge because
	he had been refusing to pay the paternity payments for a child that he had sired.
	I'm shocked, Greg Jarrett.
	I thought this would have been a big story.
	It seems like it's already fizzled out.
	Well, very few in the mainstream media are covering the case.
	And, you know, this is part of a pattern of conduct on their part.
	But there was Joe Biden about 10 days ago, pretending to be a paragon of compassion for children.
	It was all a charade.
	Another one of his endless lies and cons.
	He doesn't give a damn about kids.
	He exploits them as political props.
	If he cared about kids, he would help his own granddaughter He would, at the very least, recognize her and try to help her financially.
	Here's a guy who owns a bunch of mansions, and yet he and Jill Biden and Hunter Biden and all of the Bidens refuse to even recognize this little girl as a Biden.
	They treat her as if she's got some contagious disease.
	So, you know, the dog and cat get stockings at Christmas on the mantle, but not little four year old Navy, which is her name.
	And if this were a Republican administration and the sign of a Republican president, the story would be a little bit more popular, would it not, Greg?
	Oh, it totally would.
	But, you know, it's such a sad story.
	But it does demonstrate something important, just how morally bankrupt Joe Biden, Jill Biden, Hunter Biden, and the rest of the Bidens are.
	You know, Hunter is claiming poverty.
	What a joke!
	He wants to weasel out of his monthly payments to his own daughter that he's never even met, couldn't pick her out of a lineup, doesn't want to meet her, and is fighting her mother's request that The daughter used the Biden name.
	This is a horrible, despicable human being, but, you know, like father, like son.
	On your website, you've got a piece about the E. Gene Carroll civil trial against President Trump.
	A clip of his deposition was released on Friday.
	How big of a threat is this to President Trump, or given the fact that this is being funded by a renowned Trump hater, we can just categorize this as another spurious attempt to attack him?
	Yeah, you know, in a normal courtroom, I think this would be an impossible case to prove, but this is New York, composed of a jury pool that is decidedly anti-Trump.
	So it's been difficult for the defense attorneys to persuade this jury to set aside their biases and judge the case based on the paucity of evidence.
	There is no evidence, no eyewitnesses.
	The plaintiff can't even tell you what year the incident supposedly happened.
	Much less the month of the day.
	So this is a classic he said, she said case.
	To answer your question, I don't think this will affect anybody's opinion of Donald Trump.
	You know, those opinions already baked in.
	Sounds to me like another Blasey Ford type of case.
	We're talking to Greg Jarrett, political and legal analyst for Fox News.
	The website is TheGregJarrett.com.
	His latest book is The Trial of the Century.
	He's the author of numerous other works on the Russia hoax and collusion.
	You must get them today.
	The Witch Hunt book.

	We'll be back with Greg Jarrett after these messages.
	Stay on this channel.
	♪♪♪ The Bragg, the Georgia and the Jack Smith, which one do you
	us.
	think is the most dangerous?
	Well, it's certainly not Georgia.
	There's no real case to be made, but Fannie Willis is probably determined to indict.
	Bragg's case is an utter joke.
	You know, I would think that the only serious case is a federal case with a special counsel, Jack Smith.
	And then it would be what?
	Obstruction of justice?
	Yeah, that's the only thing I can think of.
	But even that is dubious.
	You know, this is a president and there are witnesses who say, look, I invited the FBI to take whatever they wanted.
	And, you know, this is a dispute over presidential papers that may or may not be classified, but are exclusively governed by a civil statute.
	The Presidential Records Act.
	But the subpoena, the obstructing the subpoena, it would be the charge.
	But you're saying he has witnesses who said to the agents, take whatever you want.
	Yeah.
	I mean, you know, when you say take whatever you want.
	Right.
	Then you can't be obstructing a subpoena.
	And they said, oh, no, thanks.
	And then they go back and tell Garland, he says we can have whatever we want.
	Garland says, no, that's the wrong thing.
	I want a raid.
	A public raid.
	And the FBI objected to that.
	And they said, you know, this is overkill.
	This is not merited.
	But Garland does it anyway.
	I mean, you know, I think that's a defense to obstruction.
	Do we have confirmation the Bureau didn't want to do that?
	It's been reported that top officials at the Bureau objected strenuously.
	So, you know, obviously that would be evidentiary.
	Um, and, you know, I think the defendant, if he is indicted, would be entitled to explore that.
	Wow.
	Unbelievable.
	Unbelievable.
	My pillow.
	Yes.
	Okay.
	Got a title line for that monologue.
	Uh, for the monologue.
	Something like, are you on the battlefield?
	Yes.
	Yes, yes, yes.
	Are you on the, are you on the battlefield?
	Good.
	Oh, and also, Joe and Victoria.
	Let me think about that one.
	One minute.
	I'm going to ask you quickly to repeat your analysis of the four cases, Greg.
	Yeah.
	Yeah.
	Okay.
	20th.
	On the side of the U.S.
	Constitution, America first.
	It's quite stunning that even a man who makes pillows can be targeted by the deep state, but that's what happens when you're Mike Lindell, you're a friend of the president, and you are outspoken about corruption in this country.
	You heard what he told us here on our show about how the FBI cornered him at a fast food drive-thru and demanded his cell phone.
	Why?
	Well, because he's one of us.
	They want to cancel him.
	Let's have his back.
	He's just launched the 2.0 MyPillow.
	He sold 71 of the original.
	71 million, that is.
	They're that good.

	Go to mypillow.com, code GORKA, or call in your order.
	Talk to a real person.
	Yes, a real one.
	800-829-8468, that's 800-829-8468, mypillow.com, promo code G-O-R-K-A.
	We are back with the author of Witch Hunt and the Russia Hoax, and most recently the latest book, you have to get it right now, This is the trial of the century.
	Greg Jarrett, in the break I was getting your counsel on the numerous attempts to take down President Trump right now beyond E.J.
	Carroll.
	We have, of course, the Georgia case.
	We have the January 6th case as well.
	Which one of those, do you see one that is more, and the Alvin Bragg one, more dangerous to the President than the others?
	Well, the Bragg case in New York is a joke.
	The case in Georgia is weak.
	There's really no evidence of election fraud there.
	You know, she, Fannie Willis, the DA, takes a part of the conversation, a snippet, find me the votes, and somehow she wants to magnify that into election fraud.
	Under the law, it's not.
	As for January 6th and the special counsel, Jack Smith, there's no evidence that He incited violence under the Brandenburg Rule, Supreme Court ruling, just the opposite.
	So the only thing that's left then are the documents at Mar-a-Lago.
	And, you know, that is governed exclusively by a civil statute, the Presidential Records Act.
	But Merrick Garland has tried to criminalize it.
	His proper remedy was to go to court, a civil court.
	And ask a judge to issue an order to produce the documents from Mar-a-Lago to the FBI.
	And as far as obstruction is concerned, it's hard to make that kind of a case When the target, Donald Trump, tells the FBI, take whatever you want.
	So this is the key point, that when they come to his house, they say, and he has witnesses to this effect, take whatever you want, and only after that does Merrick Garland say, no, no, no, no, no, I want a raid of the house.
	So if that comes out in court, the whole thing collapses?
	Yeah, I mean, FBI officials went back and said he wants to give us everything.
	That's the exact opposite of what Merrick Garland wanted.
	He ignored the advice of the FBI top officials, ordered a raid.
	It's not obstruction.
	When the target tells you, take whatever you want.
	Sorry, sorry.
	On Wednesday, apparently, we shall see, Congressman Comer is going to unveil the findings of his committee against the Bidens, the various crimes committed.
	What is your advice to the committee, given the fact the DOJ is still under Merrick Garland?
	There can't be any judicial consequences, so it's purely informational for the next 19 months?
	Yeah, it is.
	And I would advise them, don't overplay your hand.
	Present whatever evidence you've been able to dig up.
	Now, Comer, over the weekend, represented that they've got a lot of things that the Department of Justice and the U.S.
	Attorney in Delaware never investigated.
	All right.
	Put up or shut up.
	But the predicate issue is whether Comer is going to be able to get his hands On the latest whistleblower document, in which allegedly, according to the whistleblower, the FBI has a particular document that directly ties Joe Biden to a pay-to-play scheme, a criminal scheme, in which the exchange of money for policy decisions was made.
	I expect Merrick Garland to obstruct a stonewall to try to hide that.
	As well as the FBI.
	Yeah, yeah, absolutely.
	And they should probably keep it, given all the possible charges, all the possible schemes, they should probably keep it to a minimum, not to confuse the audience?
	Keep it simple, stupid, you know?
	That's the old saying, and there's wisdom in that saying.
	Lay it out, you know, use some visual aids.
	Uh, to, you know, present sort of a flowchart of influence peddling schemes and the tens of millions of dollars that flowed into these shell companies and then distributed to up to nine Biden family members, you know, sounds very much Like a crime syndicate, doesn't it?
	It does indeed.
	And visual aids that are a little bit more substantial than the ones Alvin O'Bragg used, which didn't even mention the crime that President Trump was supposed to have committed.
	We've been talking to Greg Jarrett.

	What was I thinking of then?
	Oh, Jackson.
	Hey guys, how are you?
	Greetings!
	How we doing, buddy?
	We are well.
	We are well.
	Alright, we've got to talk about this Cummins story you broke.
	Yeah, it's the second wave of two different times the Justice Department's approached with a Joe Biden specific allegation and two times they don't follow it.
	Incredible.
	So how are you doing?
	Good, good, good, good.
	I had to travel to Florida for a station event at the weekend, but it was fun.
	Good for you.
	You down there with Scotty?
	No, it was the Orlando station or rather the Seminole.
	Seminole.
	Nice!
	Yeah, yeah, yeah.
	It's rather hot down there.
	I heard mid-90s and humid, right?
	Yeah, it was warm.
	My dad just went down there for a vacation and he's like, oh my god, you know he goes in January, so it's a little surprise that it's 90 in May.
	Where's he based?
	He's in Claremont, so up by Lake Ocala.
	Yeah.
	A little bit different.
	Yeah, but he's funny.
	Good deal.
	90.
	How's everything else going?
	Good, good.
	I'm looking forward to my buddy Chris's show tonight on Newsmax.
	I love it.
	Yeah, I've been trying to tell him for two years to hire him and controlling him to do it.
	That's awesome.
	It's a big deal.
	It is.
	He'll be great.
	Such a talented guy.
	He should be back on TV.
	Although at CNN, I think he was always behind the scenes except on September the 11th when he was driving up to the Pentagon.
	Yeah.
	PhD.
	Substantial talent.
	45 seconds.
	Got a title in mind for Jarrett?
	Yes.
	The cruelty of the Biden plan.
	The cruelty of the Biden clan.
	Yeah.
	All right.
	Not coming in with anything?
	No.
	All right.
	Alright, 25 seconds.
	Let's go.
	You You
	You You
	You A man a
	A legend.
	A legal immigrant.
	Dr. Sebastian Gorka.
	It's not good to have an angry wife.
	My wife came in the bedroom this morning, kind of perplexed.
	And she said, what's wrong?
	That lovely blazer I had made a year ago.
	That's when I was overweight.
	And it doesn't fit me anymore.
	And she loved that blazer.
	And I said, you know what, Katie?
	That's a good problem to have.
	You can have it taken in or get another one.
	The fact that you're slim is the good thing you celebrate.
	Women like to get new clothes, don't they?
	Oh, what a sexist I am.
	You could be that person, too.
	She lost 36 pounds, I lost 42.
	Mike Gallagher, my colleague, lost 52 with Dr. Ashley Lucas's amazing PhD program.
	Five meals a day that just burn the fat off.
	No stupid calorie counting, no pills to pop, and no starvation diet.
	Just a system that truly works.
	You'll feel great.
	If I can do it with my sweet tooth, ask the guys here.
	Yeah, I love my chocolate.
	I love my fried food.
	You can do it too.
	Call 864-644-1900.
	That's myphdweightloss.com.
	864-644-1900. myphdweightloss.com.
	Do it today.
	All right.
	He did it again today.
	He sent me the article that, my gosh, he's breaking news so often that Even the Daily Mail can't ignore him.
	The Daily Mail has picked up his latest.
	It is, of course, John Solomon, justthenews.com.
	Joe Biden's bribery allegations were brought to the DOJ in 2018.
	And he's with us right now, John Solomon.
	Strange thing, in 2018, It wasn't even Joe Biden who was the president, was it?
	That's right.
	No, he wasn't.
	But it was the year that he gave the famous speech at the Atlantic Council saying, I withheld a billion dollars until they fired the prosecutor who, oh, by the way, was investigating his son's company, Burisma, the Ukraine prosecutor.
	So that was a seminal year.
	And what we now learn is that a few months after he gave that speech, a former federal
	prosecutor, a very respected guy, a guy named Bud Cummins from Little Rock, by the way,
	he was a hero in the media about 10 years earlier when he stood up to President Bush
	for some inappropriate firing of U.S. attorneys.
	So the media loved him then.
	Now they don't cover him at all.
	But he walks into the U.S. attorney in New York and says, I've got a contact in Ukraine
	who's tied to the attorney general of Ukraine.
	This bears repeating.
	Attorney General of Ukraine has evidence that Joe Biden, not Hunter Biden, but Joe Biden
	was involved in a pay to play scheme.
	And oh, they don't ever respond back to him.
	They make one call and then crickets.
	But for his trouble, hang on, hang on, hang on.
	Let's stop there for a second.
	So this bears repeating.
	A former federal prosecutor, Bud Cummins, has evidence to the effect that the vice president,
	Joe Biden, changed policies, United States policies, for money.
	He tells the relevant authorities and instead of investigating what happens to Bud Cummins, John?
	They went and secretly obtained his phone records, which by the way is very sensitive for a lawyer, right?
	It could get into attorney-client privilege.
	They issued a subpoena.
	They told Apple, don't tell him about it for three years.
	So he only recently learned that the FBI, the U.S.
	Attorney, the same office he tried to report the wrongdoing to, actually swept his phone records, much like what we saw with Rudy Giuliani and of victoria tensing and joe did the gentleman others
	instead of investigating the allegations they investigate the person bringing them to me what's
	amazing about it is that all but comes with trying to do is say listen
	if you want i can arrange for the uh... ukraine attorney general the chief
	prosecutor and to come in and lay out the evidence i don't know what
	he has but you look at it
	and instead they investigate uncommon someone who by the way had a sterling record
	as a uh... former federal prosecutors a private criminal defense lawyer
	uh... and then if this isn't about enough there's a sequel right
	we learned the sequel about a week ago when james comer reports that that fbi confidential human
	source came in and told FBI units who were handling him,
	I've got evidence that Joe Biden was, oh, wait, wait, trading US policy for money to his family.
	The exact same allegation.
	It comes in in June, 2020, six months before voters get a chance to decide
	between Joe Biden and Donald Trump.
	And what happens?
	Apparently that didn't go anywhere, any, otherwise, also.
	And as a result now, FBI whistleblowers have blown the whistle on that.
	So two waves of the exact same allegation, same response both times.
	The Justice Department doesn't want to hear anything evil about Joe Biden.
	Doesn't all of this, when you hear it again and again and again, John, the Hunter Biden laptop sitting in the Delaware FBI for years and nothing happening, is there no point at which you kind of lose faith in the system?
	Well, that's exactly the concern that people who still believe in a system, and all of us still believe in a system, right?
	A blind justice system where the accused are assumed innocent and people are treated equally, that's the best judicial system ever created in the world.
	But ours is gravitating far and farther away from that model.
	And so many people now, I can't tell you how many times I walk down the street, I'm sure this happens to you, Sam, someone will come up and say, I don't trust the justice system.
	If the FBI showed up at my door today, I wouldn't help them, even though five years ago I would have gladly done it.
	That's a real problem for the future of America.
	Well, I've said it here on the show today, despite having trained hundreds and thousands of the officers and the intelligence analysts.
	If they came knocking on my door, I'd say, talk to my attorneys.
	John, so we are 48 hours away from Comer releasing what he has.
	There's so much out there.
	What is your expectation?
	And why aren't they doing it earlier?
	You're sending open messages to the Department of Justice.
	Don't you dare.
	Don't you dare give Hunter Biden some kind of slap on the wrist tomorrow before we get to talk.
	Isn't that the tail wagging the dog?
	I mean, isn't it the Congress that has oversight over DOJ?
	It does.
	Remember, they only got some of these bank records in the last couple days.
	So they're still writing the details down.
	What he wanted to do is put a marker up.
	Hey, I'm rushing to get this done.
	I'll have it done Wednesday.
	Wait, you're going to learn a lot of new things.
	You didn't know a lot about this at the IRS or at the Justice Department.
	So that's a very important development.
	The reason they're being careful, not rushing out now, they do not want to make a mistake.
	They know that Joe Biden, Hunter Biden, the democratic machinery and the democratic media
	will crucify them.
	So they're dotting I's, crossing T's.
	There's very little chance based on what I know that there'll be an indictment before this Thursday
	or later, so it probably doesn't have much impact.
	But a dramatic statement for a chairman to say, I know more than the FBI has been looking at this
	for years, hold on, that should concern us.
	It's another sign of the broken justice system that so many people have lost faith in.
	Do you have high expectations for Coma's committee meeting on Thursday, on Wednesday?
	I don't know what's in it, but I suspect based on what I've done a lot of work on, it's gonna be a map
	of all the different ways they got money.
	It's gonna be a lot more countries, a lot more family members, a lot more dollar totals, and then an overlay of, while these guys were doing this, here's what Joe Biden did in that country, this country, this country, that country.
	For the first time, what's been the Hunter Biden thing is gonna be tied directly to Joe Biden's policies, beyond the firing of the Ukraine prosecutor, the story I broke in 2019, gonna be a pattern.
	And it wasn't just once.
	It was five, six, seven, eight times.
	And that's what I think has people convinced that Joe Biden is at the top of this operation.
	Connecting the dots. That's what he does every single day.

	Joe, how is this anything but homegrown extremism?
	The idea of someone getting on the train and being in a state of desperation is unnerving.
	It is upsetting, and it should be upsetting, right?
	We should not hear that someone is starving, is desperate, and wants to die, and see that as the cop doing business in New York City.

	No violence.
	No hate speech.
	Just Happy Warriors on America First!
	Welcome back, dear friends.
	Yes, happy Warriors, as not only President Reagan, but also the great Rush Limbaugh taught us.
	Let's go to your calls.
	The number here, 833-33-GORKA.
	That's 833-334-6752.
	And don't forget, what is the poll we put up on the website?
	We should put a new poll up.
	What should we put up?
	We will cogitate on that as we talk to David in California, line one.
	Welcome, David.
	Oh, thanks for taking my call, Sebastian.
	I just knew some in the gang in California is beginning to talk about reparations again to the black community.
	I know.
	And they're not talking about pocket change.
	They're talking about the millions.
	The thing I want to know, and I know you'll give me the answer, is that they never talk about the remaining families of the Union soldiers to free those slaves.
	I mean, that's never brought up.
	I don't think the people in California are going to get black communities going to get those reparations.
	But it's the beginning, just like nobody can have a gas stove.
	Aside from that, I know from a personal experience, this is a side issue, that your eyes will hurt you if you take certain drugs.
	And I was told to wear dark glasses.
	If you look at Biden, If you look at Joe Biden, he's constantly... He's constantly got dark glasses on.
	Yeah.
	And I have polymyositis, and over the years I've had to take some pretty heavyweight drugs.
	And they did that at first.
	They caused me to consistently, if the sunlight, just a little bit of light would tear up my eyes.
	So every time I see this guy, he's got dark glasses on.
	But not only that, even when he doesn't, David, he's always squinting.
	He's like Mr. Magoo.
	He's always squinting.
	Yes.
	So what do you think about the reparations scandal?
	When I saw the latest video at that meeting of the whatever committee for reparations, I just think this is a bad joke.
	I mean, California never legally had any slaves to begin with, so what on earth are they doing?
	It's a state that never legally had slaves.
	So who are you giving reparations?
	Just based upon skin color?
	So what, somebody arrives with the right skin color from Pakistan and a white immigrant from Italy has to pay them money?
	No, it's insane.
	And of course in a state that's on the verge of bankruptcy.
	David, stop being logical!
	You can't be logical when you're asking a Democrat to justify their policies.
	Now, you are listening to America First, one hour down.

	you With
	With breaking news, here's Sebastian Gorka.
	Or is it Mr. G?
	Mr. G, you announced something to me just moments ago.
	What is the big, big news?
	Yes, the Washington Post has won three Pulitzer Prizes.
	Wow, the Washington Post.
	What was it for?
	Finally telling the truth about Russian collusion or Anthony Fauci or the border?
	No, it was about the impact of the consequences of changing abortion laws.
	The other one they won for a series of intimate portraits illuminating the social toll of the pandemic.
	Which they helped actually exaggerate.
	Exactly.
	And a book that they wrote about called His Name is George Floyd.
	Oh, perfect.
	Yes, perfect.
	Thank you.
	Why would I expect it to be anything to do with the truth?
	You can't make this stuff up.
	All right, let's talk about the sad news of the weekend.
	We are supposed to believe that Maurizio Garcia, let's put his photograph up on the screen, the shooter in Allen, Texas at that mall, is a white supremacist.
	Yes, we're supposed to believe somebody called Maurizio Garcia is a white supremacist.
	And finally, we have the identity Revealed of the killer who has mowed down 18 people near the border in Brownsville is George Alvarez.
	Yeah, we're putting the picture up on the screen.
	I guess they're going to try and convince us that he too was somehow running down those immigrants because he's a white supremacist as well.
	Oh, let's talk a little bit about the individual concerned based upon the latest statements from local law enforcement in Brownsville.
	They've identified him as 34-year-old George Alvarez.
	A video of the incident shows a grey Range Rover traveling at a high rate of speed when it struck the individuals sitting on the sidewalk.
	Video of the aftermath showed numerous bodies severely disfigured, including victims who had missing limbs with the road and sidewalk covered in blood.
	Quote, this is from Chief Felix Sauceda, the SUV ran a red light, Lost control, flipped on its side and struck a total of 18 individuals.
	It was further found that there were 6 fatalities on the scene and 12 critically injured.
	From then to now, fatalities have grown to 8.
	The investigation has also revealed that the driver of the vehicle, later identified as George Alvarez, had attempted to flee the scene after impact, but was held down by several individuals on the scene.
	What do you need to know about this person?
	Alvarez is a Brownsville local with an extensive rap sheet.
	He has been formally charged and arraigned with eight counts of manslaughter and ten counts of aggravated assault.
	What is his rap sheet to date?
	Here's just a sampling.
	It includes aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, twice.
	Assault against elderly or disabled, assault causing bodily injury to a family member four times, burglary of a vehicle, assault causing bodily injury, driving while intoxicated, evading arrest, detention, interference with public duties, resisting arrest Search or transport theft of property.
	I'm just curious if my name If I were accused and Actually charged with those things.
	Do you think I'd be walking around free today Eric?
	Oh Not at all you absolutely they'd have you in cuffs before the charges are even announced, but I'd still probably be in prison, right?
	Oh Yeah, I mean he's got 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12,
	13, 14, 15, 16 charges that we know of and he's just driving around in a Range Rover and people
	are surprised that we are in the state that we are in and that Marines have to take action on the
	subway in New York when somebody is threatening the people around them.
	All right, let's go to a friend of mine.
	He's been on the show before.
	His name is called Brett Smith.
	How do you write women so well?
	made the following comments based upon a movie.
	And the movie may seem a little bit strange or out of place.
	It's Jack Nicholson.
	It's just a few seconds long.
	But it bears upon the difference between left and right today
	in terms of how they communicate.
	Eric, would you play the cut from Jack?
	How do you write women so well?
	I think of a man.
	And I take away reason and accountability.
	I We'll be right back.
	What were you going to add to that?
	You take away reason and accountability.
	What did you say, Eric?
	If I could add one more adjective to that, I would add self-awareness.
	Self-awareness.
	Now, why are we mentioning this cut from which movie is it, Eric?
	That is the 1997 rom-com As Good As It Gets.
	As Good As It Gets.
	Well, here's the tweet from my buddy Brett Smith, who knows a thing or two about culture.
	One thing to remember about a feminized society and culture is that reason, accountability, logic, and statistics mean nothing.
	So I find it cute that conservatives still think using reason, accountability, logic, and statistics will win the gun control debate.
	Now, there's a lot to be said for this comment, and the question we have to answer is, do we ignore the facts?
	Remember what, what is it, oh, Ben Shapiro built his career on?
	Um, FACTS DON'T CARE ABOUT YOUR EMOTIONS!
	Yeah, but when it comes to political communication, Emotional communication is far more powerful than reading out a trove of statistics or a pie chart or a PowerPoint slide of graphics.
	So what do we do?
	My friend suggests that we focus on stories.
	Stories of victims.
	I was on a Twitter space yesterday on gun control and halfway through it I thought, what is the point?
	I've made these points again and again and again.
	How there are more than a million instances every year of legal use of firearms saving lives.
	Over a million.
	Or we could talk about the fact that the rampant increase in the use of weapons by single men, school shootings, mass shootings, occurred after we shut down our mental institutions in the 70s, after a key Supreme Court decision said you cannot incarcerate somebody unless they are actually harming themselves or others.
	Or I can talk about the fact that more people are killed by knives and fists every year than they are by AR-15s.
	These are statements of fact.
	Do they matter?
	When you can have people plead the empathy argument, Oh, if we can just save one life!
	Well, if that were the case, we would ban cars.
	And we go back to horses and carriages, although those are pretty dangerous too.
	So do we just?
	Let me ask you.
	I want your input.
	The number is 83333 Gorka.
	Because President Trump was good at this.
	President Reagan was very good at this.
	Do we focus on the emotional argument?
	Do we just throw in the towel and say, well, you know, Shapiro may be right, but it's kind of irrelevant in the war for the hearts of America at the next election.
	Do we pluck on the heartstrings with emotional messages?
	I'd like to hear from you.
	The number is 833-33-GORKA.
	That's 833-334-6752.
	3 3 3 Gorka that's 833 334 6752 and if we do that we must still be tethered to
	the facts to the truth but we can't rely upon simply the forwarding of those
	facts the communication of those facts leading to the desired result that
	people are going to say oh yes you're right the Second Amendment is important
	No.
	We have to strike some kind of balance where the truth which we have on our side informs an emotional communication of those facts so that we win over as many as possible with that appeal to the heart.
	It's what good politicians understand.
	It's why the word authenticity matters.
	But I'd like to hear your take.
	That's 833-333-GORKA.
	That's 833-334-6752.

	Hello, who's this?
	Hello, who's this?
	Yes, one second.
	I got it on speakerphone.
	I wasn't expecting you so quickly.
	So my idea.
	Can you hear me?
	Yep.
	There we go.
	My idea is to dissolve the Democratic Party through an offer of dissolving the Republican Party by creating the America First Party to distinguish ourselves from the RINOs.
	I have no idea what that means.
	What do you mean dissolve them?
	How do you dissolve existing parties?
	Well, we just created an American First Party and everyone who's of the Republican Party but, you know, American First, they move over to the American First Party and whoever wants to be still a Republican can stay a Republican.
	What about the hundreds of millions of dollars the Republicans have?
	It's going to be a party with no money.
	That's what I'm saying.
	Everyone will move over to, even the money can move over to the American First Party.
	But the money's sitting in the RNC coffers.
	Are you just going to leave it there?
	Yeah, I understand.
	Okay.
	Thanks a lot.
	Thank you.
	Bye bye.
	Alright.
	I think it definitely needs to be said that the reason we finally did win the abortion
	debate is because we finally tuned up the emotion on it.
	You know, just saying, hey, you're killing babies.
	Catched on the line.
	I'm not sure that's true.
	I'm not sure that's true.
	I think science was more and more on our side.
	Well, science is on our side, but I think... No, it's when they started doing late-term abortions.
	Uh-huh.
	Like, if you weigh... When they started going to the nine months.
	Remember when Northam was saying all that stuff?
	Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
	But that's all Republicans should be talking about, is the third trimester.
	Right.
	Because they're all radical, they are.
	On an emotional scale, you contrast killing babies versus, oh, it's a woman's right to choose.
	It's no question which is gonna tug at the heartstrings more.
	Oh yeah, 100 seconds and yeah, he's on the line.
	Mic's on or off.

	Good.
	How are you?
	Good.
	How are you?
	Good.
	Can you believe it?
	They are saying that they don't agree with America First.
	How do you say that?
	Magnificent.
	I'm so impressed.
	I asked one question based upon a Jack Nicholson clip and the call board just exploded!
	Wow guys!
	It's totally full!
	Jonathan, Judy, Richard, Sharon, Jason.
	Don't go anywhere.
	That's super exciting.
	You know what else is exciting?
	We have an opportunity again starting next Monday but we're going to give you a little bit of a prequel right now to help some of the most Endangered people in America.
	They're the young girls and boys who have a father or a mother behind bars.
	It's part of the Prison Fellowship Program.
	Every summer we support the Angel Tree Camp that takes these children and takes them to a Christ-centric summer camp away from their environment, away from any sense of guilt for what happened to their parents and gives them a safe place to find new friends.
	If you want to support this amazing venture That is one of the most blessed things you can do.
	Please make a donation today in any amount at SebGorka.com.
	These children... Imagine if you lost a parent to the prison system.
	How afraid you'd feel.
	How potentially guilty you'd feel through no fault of your own.
	It's one of the most beautiful things you can do.
	Please go today.
	SebGorka.com and get an early donation.

	All right, he is aware of what's happening on the border.
	He's aware of what real patriots want because he's the co-founder of the OG, the Original Tea Party Patriots.
	Today he's the president of the Convention of States Foundation and the Convention of States Action Organization.
	Mark Meckler, welcome back to America First.
	Hey, great to be with you, Doctor.
	How are you today?
	Good, good, good, good.
	Although I see these photographs of a literal invasion in preparation across the border as soon as Title 42 is rescinded this week, and I am very, very concerned.
	You have millions of members in your organization.
	Tell me what you are seeing and what you are hearing.
	Well, being here in Texas, we're right here on the front line.
	I live in Austin, just a couple hundred miles from the border.
	And it's much worse than anything that you see on the news.
	What we see is a full-blown war going on on our southern border.
	We've lost operational control of both sides of the border.
	Our cartels are completely in control.
	This is not random and this is not just because of Title 42.
	This is because the cartels are about to unleash an unprecedented wave of illegal immigrants and criminals across our southern border.
	And what is your membership saying with regards to what their expectation is of their representatives?
	Because I hear a lot of people saying not enough is happening, Governor Abbott should be doing more, we have the house now, we have the purse strings, or at least we had the purse strings until Mitch negotiated them way until September.
	So you are a man who believes in concrete actions.
	What are you hearing and what are you suggesting?
	I think there are two layers and the first layer right now is here in the state of Texas.
	Governor Abbott has talked a good game but not done enough.
	He declared an invasion and then has done very little honestly to stop that invasion.
	He's put a band-aid on an arterial bleed.
	What we need to do is our House needs to pass House Bill 20 which creates a Texas border protection unit.
	Essentially Border Patrol right here in Texas.
	They'll have the budget.
	They'll have the authority.
	The question is whether Governor Abbott will have the spine.
	He's literally not spoken about this legislation.
	It is up for consideration on the House floor this week, probably tomorrow.
	We need the governor to weigh in.
	We need him to declare the cartel.
	I don't understand.
	You're on the front line.
	Why is Governor Abbott not even reacting to House Bill 20?
	Honestly, he's just always been weak.
	The governor talks a good game.
	He gets on Fox News and talks about what a great conservative he is and all he's done, and he's actually done very little.
	He's done Operation Lone Star.
	Again, it's just been a tiny band-aid on an arterial wound, so I don't know who is in his pockets or vice versa, but the bottom line is our governor needs to step up and save Texas and the country.
	Is he a rhino or is he just weak?
	What's your reading?
	I think he's just weak.
	You know, I think some of his big donors really like illegal immigration.
	So I think he caters to those big donors who like illegal immigration.
	But the carnage is unbelievable, Seb.
	I mean, you're seeing young women and children sold into slavery.
	We talk about human trafficking.
	I hate that term.
	It's slavery.
	We have a massive slave trade in the United States of America.
	It's happening on Abbott's watch and Biden's watch.
	They're essentially one in the same on the border right now.
	Follow this man right now at Mark Meckler, M-E-C-K-L-E-R.
	That's Mark Meckler and conventionofstates.com, conventionofstates.com.
	You've been at the heart of the Recrudescence, the revivification, the resurrection of patriotic politics in America.
	What are you seeing?
	What's your take on the last four or five months?
	I don't want to get over my skis but I'm pleasantly surprised by Kevin McCarthy.
	We see President Trump now seven points in a Washington Post poll beating the incumbent Biden by seven points.
	Are you feeling good or should we not take anything for granted?
	Yeah, I'm cautiously optimistic, but we shouldn't take anything for granted.
	Look, the Democrats are very good at cheating, number one.
	They're very good at legal cheating, all the media stuff, the ballot harvesting that's become legal.
	They're just better at this stuff than Republicans.
	We're going to have to up our game or we're going to lose in an illegitimate way.
	All right.
	Unpack that.
	You're a very good radio guest because you don't go on for long, long responses, but give me some meat.
	Put some meat on that bone.
	What do we need to do?
	What do the members, the supporters of the Convention of States, what should they be preparing to do for the next 18 months?
	So I think activists need to be involved in a couple of things.
	One is make sure we're recruiting good primary candidates.
	And by the way, unfortunately, that doesn't always mean just the person who's the most conservative.
	They have to be electable.
	They have to be able to raise money.
	They have to be able to speak to the general electorate if they win the primary.
	Number two is we have to get good at ballot harvesting where it's legal.
	We don't like it.
	It's not something that we believe should be legal, but in states like California, If we don't learn to play that game, we're going to lose.
	Number three, I would say we have to learn to bank the early vote.
	We tend to like to go to the polls on voting day.
	I think that's a good way to do it.
	But if we don't start banking the early vote, elections are now 60 days and more out.
	We've got to play in that territory or we're going to lose.
	When you say they have to, you know, have a chance at winning, however, you would draw the line in supporting rhinos, correct?
	Oh yeah, I mean that tears our country down.
	We see it here in our Texas state legislature.
	It's really bad.
	Our Speaker of the House, Dade Phelan, is a rhino elected by Democrats.
	So what we need is the most conservative candidate who can be elected and who can win the election.
	Last message to those out there who say, you know, I'm too busy.
	I'll write a check to a candidate.
	What do you say to them given the stakes involved, Mark?
	Yeah, I would say that, listen to what John Quincy Adams said after he served 17 years in the House, which is, duty is ours and the results belong to God.
	And we've got to remember, each of us has a duty.
	There are people who actually fought and died for your ability to live your life in this country, and we owe them the obligation of engaging in the political process at the very least.
	Wow, the duty belongs to us, the duty is ours, the results belong to God.
	Can we get you back for a longer discussion?
	Absolutely.
	Anytime you want, Sam.
	All right.

	I'm Sebastian Gorka.
	Your call's next.

	That's 833-334-6752.
	Don't go anywhere.
	Jonathan, Judy, Sharon, Jason.
	And don't forget to follow us so you never miss a thing on all social media that matter.
	We are there.
	We are on Twitter, Truth Social, Facebook, Instagram, Parler, Getter.

	That's sebastiangorka.substack.com.
	Alright.
	Thank you.
	My pillow.
	Mm-hmm.
	Russ, this hour is free.
	We've still got lots of cuts we haven't played yet.
	I know.
	I want to do five and six.
	That's important.
	Oh, and Gingrich.
	Massively important.
	Yeah, I was going to say, Gingrich has to.
	You've got to do Gingrich.
	I know it's not hard to roast Juan Williams, but damn.
	I'm just glad he's back on his game.
	Blake, cut ten again.
	Ten.
	Instead of addressing the problem, they're sending people down there to help with the processing so we can just get more people into the country.
	I mean, I think this works hand-in-hand with what they've been doing all along.
	Don't think for a minute this is not intentional.
	You know, the Democrats had control of the House, the Senate, and the White House for two years.
	They could have done something about the border.
	They could have done it on their own terms, but they didn't do anything.
	And the reason they didn't do that was because this is intentional.
	This is the progressives, the far left, driving this process.
	And having 1,500 troops down there to help with the administrative burden and a bunch of extra judges down there so they can look at these asylum seekers at their cases and get them into the country.
	That's what's going to happen.
	It's true.
	It's all by design.
	Yep.
	That's why there was this whole kerfuffle on Twitter over, you know, Carrie Lake commenting that the culture war is
	not the most important issue.
	and I...
	I agree it's important, but I still think immigration should be the number one issue above all else.
	Because we proved in Virginia in 2021, you can convince enough American citizens, the culture war, the tranny CRT stuff is important, that you can get those middle of the road, you can even get Democrat voters.
	That's how we flipped Virginia.
	You get all these illegals in here, they will vote for the Democrat party as loyally as possible, purely based on amnesty.
	And then, again, they won't need to steal elections anymore.
	And you can't convince those people.
	Because that's, amnesty is the most important thing to them above all else.
	I don't know.
	I don't know.
	I'm sure they obviously do not care much for, you know, seeing trannies run around, but at the end of the day, you know, they have to choose between the party that wants to deport them and the party that wants to give them and all their extended families and distant second and third cousins amnesty, then of course they'll go with the amnesty party.
	90 seconds.
	I gotta read that poll.
	Oh, maybe that could be the next poll for our website.
	What's more valuable in politics, emotion, or logic?
	I'm not sure that's a poll.
	No, let's do a poll.
	Is Tucker Carlson more powerful now than he ever was?
	Okay, yes or no.
	Alright.
	Let's do that now and do a little screenshot.
	Working on it.
	One minute.
	Maybe not this time.
	Yes.
	Okay.
	You You
	You you
	You Here's looking at you, Snowflake.

	Congratulations to the person watching us on Rumble who noticed the new item behind me next to R2-D2.
	It is our award.
	A very hefty award, actually, from Rumble in a rather eye-catching green that we received for having 250,000 subscribers on Rumble, a quarter of a million, which is a little bit out of date, is it not, Mr. Eric?
	It's only out of date by about 130,000.
	Whoa!
	So how many people now on Rumble?
	380,000 subscribers on Rumble.
	That's not too shabby.
	Well done, Eric.
	Well done, Eric.
	This isn't too shabby either from Matthew Boyle from Breitbart.
	The reports of a latest ABC Washington Post poll.
	Former President Donald Trump, Republican, has opened up a clear lead over President Joe Biden, a Democrat.
	In the 2024 race for the White House, a Washington Post and ABC News poll shows 49% of respondents said they would definitely vote for President Trump against Biden.
	Biden only nets 42%.
	That means President Trump leads Joe Biden by 7%, well outside the margin of error for the survey.
	That's from the Washington Post!
	Oh my gosh, that's so exciting.
	You know what else is exciting?
	Having the support of great Americans like Mike Lindell.
	Let's have his back right now.
	The left wishes to destroy him.
	Even Walmart has gone woke and banned his goods.
	But that won't let us, that won't make us support him and love him any the less.

	Let's go to Jonathan, Columbus, Ohio.
	Happy Monday.
	Yes.
	Mr. Gorka?
	Yes?
	Yeah, I was just...
	Can you hear me?
	Yes!
	Come on, let's do this!
	Okay, I was wondering, I wanted to respond to the fellow that was talking about reparations.
	Yes.
	I was just wondering if he would be in favor of black folks and people of color, but mainly black folks that were here, and under slavery, my ancestors, would they be able to get that, you know, 40 acres and a mew?
	That they weren't allowed to get when the government banned black folks from getting that land.
	They allowed all the white folks and people that were immigrants that came over.
	As a matter of fact, your family would have gotten shot at getting land before my family did.
	But I was wondering if he would be in favor of that.
	I know that... I'm not sure I follow you.
	I don't get you.
	And my family, I arrived in 2008.
	So I don't, I don't think I'm paying anybody a red cent of any kind of reparations.
	But could you repeat what you said?
	Because I don't get it.
	I think you're missing my point.
	Mr. Gorka?
	Yes.
	I think you're missing my point.
	I'm not talking about your immediate family.
	I'm talking about your, I should have said your ancestors then.
	Had they come over here early in the early Nineteen hundreds.
	OK.
	And we're privy to the land grab.
	OK.
	And they would have been able to get more than what my family did.
	I was wondering What does this gentleman think?
	Where does he think black folks would be in this day and age, had we been able to get our slice of the pie?
	Oh, I see.
	I get it.
	I get it.
	Well, there's all kinds of absurd questions.
	There are also questions about black Americans who had slaves.
	What happens in that case?
	How do we take them out of the equation?
	It's all absurd.
	So let's... I like it.
	You're getting a little bit into the weeds there, but it just proves the absurdity of the whole thing.
	Let's go to Brian, San Antonio.
	Hi, Sebastian.
	I want the Republicans to start demanding that everybody has to go to a Christian church.
	Because if the left wants to take away our Second Amendment, let's take away their First Amendment and say you have to go to church.
	Because after all, when everybody did go to church, we didn't have shootings,
	we had marriage was in a much better shape, children were better behaved,
	the whole society was better. So why can't we force that upon the left?
	Because that's not how faith works.
	Locking people in a church every Sunday doesn't make you believe in God or give you morals, Brian.
	I think you're being rhetorical, are you not?
	I am, but it's just to bring up the point.
	Just I want a Republican to say that to see how outraged the left gets.
	Oh, I see.
	I see.
	Yeah, they get pretty outraged pretty quickly.
	I can predict that for you.
	Thank you, Brian.
	I'm Sebastian Gorka.
	More of your calls don't go anywhere.
	Judy, Ray, and Sharon, this is America First.
	But don't call us on a phone that's connected to the cell phone providers that are the big guys, because they're woke.
	They're not on your side.
	Why are you funding your enemies?
	It's insane to me.
	People who give millions of dollars to Planned Parenthood, to gun control organizations, to organizations that work against freedom of speech.
	There's only one Christian conservative cell phone company in America.
	It's the one I use.
	It's the one I switched all of my family's lines over.
	It's Patriot Mobile.
	They have the same nationwide 4G, 5G networks.
	They have a performance guarantee on three separate nets.
	You don't like the performance?
	You can switch for free.
	You can keep your old number, get free activation with my name, and special discounts for veterans and first responders.
	And you're with somebody who's on your side and who loves America and who's donated hundreds of thousands of dollars ...to causes you believe in, like the sanctity of life, the First Amendment, the Second Amendment, even conservative school board candidates.
	That's how real these people are.

	It also needs to be said, like, just, in today's culture, hyper-materialistic culture,
	even if you gave reparations to all these people, they would, most of them would just
	blow all the reparations in like a week.
	On just, like, new cars or something, like...
	Of any race, let's be fair, but... Somebody just tweeted the following, and I retweeted it.
	This bill is only about getting the black vote.
	Yep.
	That's it.
	Well, yeah, that's also why they keep wanting to move their primaries around.
	They want to move, like, Georgia and South Carolina to be the first primaries.
	Because the black voter is there.
	Maybe start with George Soros so he can play reparations for all the cities he destroyed.
	Ooh, yes, that's good.
	Hey, can you tweet that?
	Sure.
	Tweet that corn pop.
	Compop was a bad dude.
	Finding out that he was real just blew my mind.
	I'll buy you clothes if you want clothes.
	You don't need clothes?
	Alright.
	I was gonna buy him some clothes.
	Alright, anybody watching anything good on TV?
	I finally started watching Yellowstone yesterday.
	Do you know how much one episode of Yellowstone costs?
	How much?
	Have a guess.
	It's gotta be a few million, because the salaries are insane.
	22 million.
	Wow.
	Well, the series premiere is literally the length of a movie.
	It was like an hour and a half long, so I'm not surprised.
	All right, what else are you watching?
	The Plumbers.
	HBO did... About the Watergate?
	Yeah.
	And how left-wing is it?
	It's weird.
	Woody Harrelson plays Hunt.
	And they make him out to be this bad guy, but I like everything he says.
	All he does is walk around calling everybody an effing communist.
	And I like it.
	I'm not sure it was written for you.
	Well, that's the funny thing, too, about Yellowstone.
	It's like the creator's a leftist who keeps insisting, No, it's not conservative!
	Stop calling it conservative!
	Everybody's like, No, this is a base conservative show.
	It's awesome.
	It's like the one they did about Roger Ailes.
	Everything he said was funny.
	They tried to make him... The creator's a leftist?
	Of, uh, Yellowstone?
	Yeah, Taylor Sheridan.
	Oh, yeah.
	No, he's all about, oh, it's about how the white men took away Native American land.
	What else has he done?
	Um, well, he's doing all the prequels.
	He did another show on Paramount with Sylvester Stallone called Tulsa King.
	Oh, yeah.
	Mafia show, which is honestly not great.
	I watched the first season, and it's like, Stallone carries it single-handedly, but even then, he's not at the top of his game, I don't think.
	20 seconds.
	Can't handle the truth?
	Is reality just too much?
	There's always NPR.
	I hear they have tote bags.
	This is America First with Sebastian Gorka.
	No tote bags here!

	Newt Gingrich, the old Newt Gingrich, the full of vim and vigor Newt Gingrich is back and he had a few things to say to Juan Williams on Fox about Hunter Biden and it was majestic.
	Play cut!
	But this is what Hunter Biden has come down to now.
	He is a distraction, a shield against all the trouble that Trump is experiencing.
	Newt, I see you itching to respond.
	I mean, there are a lot of allegations about both these families.
	Are these legal business ventures or not?
	Here are facts.
	They may be legal.
	Here are facts.
	The widow of the Moscow mayor sent millions of dollars to Hunter Biden.
	He got money from Kazakhstan.
	He got money from Ukraine and served on a board about which he knew nothing.
	He got a lot of money from China, and it's a fact, Juan, that there were $3 million that has been disclosed that went to the Biden family from a Chinese billionaire.
	That is a fact.
	Now, you can decide that none of this stuff matters.
	The fact is you had the Vice President of the United States taking his son on Air Force Two into China where his son was making business deals, and you just described his son.
	In your language, he's a sex addict.
	He's an alcoholic.
	Eric, he's back, right?
	That was, as I said, the break.
	It's not very difficult to roast Juan Williams, but even there, Gingrich just absolutely took it to a whole new level of torching him.
	You know what my theory is?
	He's getting all the more excited because we're getting him near to a presidential campaign.
	What do you think, Jeff?
	When was Newt ever not back, though?
	Like a few months ago, he was like a little bit low energy.
	Yeah, I know.
	I think he was a little deflated after the election.
	Or you say he didn't even understand election processes anymore.
	That makes sense.
	That makes sense.
	All right, let's go to your calls waiting so patiently in Brooklyn.
	It's Judy.
	Line one.
	Hey, Dr. G. Yes?
	Am I in trouble?
	What's going on?
	No, Jonathan's in trouble.
	What's this, Mr. Gorka?
	You are Dr. Gorka, okay?
	You worked hard for that.
	Yeah, I mean, I believe in you.
	It only took me eight years to get my PhD.
	My former boss at the Defense University, the NDU, took him 18 years, so I beat my boss, but who cares?
	Who cares?
	You're such a show-off!
	You know who you are, Tom.
	You know who you are.
	We love you, but carry on.
	What's your question?
	What's your comment, Judy?
	Okay, I have a comment, and I also have a question after the comment, okay?
	So here it is.
	You were talking about emotional components, emotional appeal.
	Yeah.
	So it kind of triggered, like, you know, when you talk about transgender, it's almost like abstract, you know, like not personal.
	When you had that interview with Riley Gaines, it was this up-close-and-personal interview that was so amazing, it was so It really got me emotional.
	The way she worked so hard, the way, you know, as a biological woman, the violation of her privacy in the locker room and on and on, and the unfairness of everything.
	I really feel on an emotional level, she should testify in front of Congress, especially those idiots, those Democrats that all voted down that sports bill that was so fair and thing.
	And my question to you is this, if you would be Riley's father, Would you have backed down, or would you have gone in and raised holy hell?
	Oh, if I found that a grown man was walking around naked in my daughter's locker room, I probably have a criminal record by now, Judy, I'll just tell you that.
	But thank you for that comment.
	Jeff, let's repost the whole Riley Gaines interview because that was amazing and Judy is right.
	And by the way, I think Eric hasn't, I think she's testified before Congress, hasn't she?
	Riley Gaines?
	Yeah.
	I think she might have.
	Yeah.
	I think she has.
	I think she has.
	But yeah, she should do it again.
	God bless you, Judy.
	Yeah, you reminded us that that's somebody, that's the way you do it.
	That's the way you do it.
	You have somebody tell a real story.
	Let's go to another big fan of the show somewhere in the tall grass around Livermore.
	It's Ray!
	Line two.
	Yes, your number one fan.
	Let's get that show.
	All right.
	Hey, you are going to have to arm wrestle Judy for that one.
	You, Brent, Judy, you're going to have to work it out amongst yourselves.
	And Dave, Deep Voice Dave, don't forget him as well.
	Don't forget our buddy in the Silver Spring as well.
	So there's a lot of competition out there, dude.
	I'm just saying.
	Well, when you call the meeting of the callers, which you've talked about before, when you gather us together at Mar-a-Lago, at one of the prime tables so we can meet.
	Yes, for a little bit of coconut shrimp with the boss, right?
	Yes, yes, sir.
	We're waiting for that day.
	Hang on, we're losing you a little bit on the sound on the speaker kit.
	Can you get a little bit closer to the phone?
	Yeah.
	Yeah, I don't know.
	That's good.
	That's good.
	You talked about facts and feelings.
	Yes.
	Yes.
	Facts.
	And reparations is definitely one of those subjects that evokes feelings.
	And so, to kind of move this down a little bit, to lower the heat, we can ask a few questions like, does this diminish or increase unity among the American people?
	Does this divide people?
	And we can ask another question, does this increase or decrease liberty?
	And these are important questions, and I know it pushes towards the logical side, but This is very important, because these things that diminish liberty and that diminish unity are truly the work of the eternal enemy, the enemy of all of us.
	And we have to find common ground, and our common ground should be liberty.
	You know, Biden talks about freedom, but he rarely talks about liberty.
	With reparations, we have a Democrat Party that continually blames the entire nation of America for the sins of their own party.
	The sin of slavery, the sin of secession, of civil war, of separate but equal.
	These all belong to the Democrat Party.
	In fact, they're trying to perpetuate separate but equal on us again.
	If we are to pay, Reparations.
	Let's first identify the families that fought to free the slaves.
	and make certain that they're free of it.
	And second, let's identify the Democrats, the Southern Democrat families
	who are primarily responsible for this sin and lay it on their porch.
	Bingo.
	Bingo.
	But the prior point is the main point.
	Any form of reparations will create more tension between the races in America and will divide us even more.
	And that's why it cannot be allowed.
	God bless you, Ray.
	Sharon, don't go anywhere.

	relieffactory.com 800-500-8384 James Bond theme, Alex.
	Bye.
	Because of a rather interesting anniversary.
	This?
	Yes!
	Yes!
	Dun-na-na-na-na-na.
	What's the anniversary?
	It is 60 days today, 60 years today, that the first James Bond movie was released.
	Dr. No?
	Yes.
	Dr. No.
	I thought it was 1962.
	My friend's dad just turned 75.
	His name was James Bond.
	No.
	Yes.
	No.
	That's the worst.
	Because it was a normal name until he was like 15.
	TTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT It is a bit strange.
	30 seconds.
	To do to do.
	To do.
	Eva.
	Dr. G is ready for anything on America First.
	The end.
	Why are we playing James Bond?
	Theme, two segments in a row.
	Well, because I was just reminded by my colleague Alex that today's a special anniversary.
	60 years ago today, the first iteration of 007's Adventures hit the silver screen.
	Dr. No, here we have the classic, the best, Sean Connery in his little Mao outfit that was given to him by Dr. No after he had been captured.
	And we salute those that made this the most successful series of movies in history possible.
	Um, and sadly until they were destroyed by the daughter of Cubby Broccoli, Barbara Broccoli, and uh, The actor who really never enjoyed playing the part.
	You know who he is, Craig.
	But if you go back to Sean Connery, if you go back to Ursula Andress, wow, those were the good old days.
	And that was the real Fleming 007 that we celebrate.
	All right.
	She's been waiting very patiently in California.
	Line 4, Sharon.
	Yes, hi Sebastian.
	Hey.
	Yeah, I have a t-shirt idea and it's simply, Biden gave the USA gun control when he weakened law enforcement.
	I don't understand.
	Well, when he reduced the amount of law enforcement on the streets, that reduced a lot of guns.
	So basically, it's I'm saying because he weakened law enforcement that took a lot of guns off the street that protect people.
	Oh yeah, but when we say gun control, we don't associate gun control with police officers, so you're confusing two different things.
	Okay, what about gun reform?
	Yeah, no, a t-shirt that needs explanation is problematic, right?
	Oh, okay.
	But I get what you're trying to say, but when we talk about the Second Amendment, we're not talking about police officers.
	We're talking about citizens.
	That's the whole point, that the citizen has guns, not the state, not the uniformed officers of the state, be it the federal military or be it the local police.
	The whole point is what?
	The second amendment is about what, Sharon?
	It's about you and me owning guns.
	Not police officers, not the military.
	but it kind of misses the point. The Second Amendment is about what, Sharon?
	It's about you and me owning guns. Not police officers, not the military. It's
	about you and me, correct? Right.
	Bingo.
	You got it.
	But thank you for your patience.
	Thank you for waiting on line.
	Let's reward her.

	Impressive.
	Most impressive.
	See things you people wouldn't believe.
	See things you people wouldn't believe.
	When you talk to God.
	Let's go see him again.
	Haven't you ever heard of that guy with...
	What's his name?
	The pirate guy.
	One-Eyed Willie.
	Yeah, he was the most famous pirate in his time.
	My dad told me all about him once.
	Dad'll do anything to get you to go to sleep.
	No.
	See, One-Eyed Willie stole the treasure once.
	It was full of rubies and emeralds and diamonds.
	Diamonds.
	And then he loaded it all up onto his ship, and they sailed away into the sunset, until the British king, he found out about it, and then he set up this whole armada to go out after him, and then the armada, it took them a couple weeks, but then they caught up with Willy, And then there was a whole big war between the Armada and Willy's ship, the Inferno.
	And during the firefight, there was just guns bursting here and cannons bursting there.
	And then Willy fled, because he didn't want to stay around, because he knew he'd get killed if he stayed around.
	And then he got into this cave.
	And then the British, they blew up the walls all around him.
	And he got caved in.
	And he's been there ever since.
	Forever?
	Forever.
	Ever?
	Trapped.
	I just love that.
	Forever?
	Forever?
	Ever?
	Goonies Never Say Die, a film I had never seen in its entirety until the co-host of Making Movies Great Again said, This is the movie that we shall watch this week.
	It shall not be another movie.
	It shall be this one.
	Chris Coles, the host of the Mr. Reagan and Alpha Critic channel, Thank you for letting me watch this movie.
	I didn't have too high of opinion of it, but it's pretty fun.
	Why did you choose it?
	Oh, it's fun.
	It's fun.
	I'll tell you what this is.
	When I was a kid, I was five years old when this movie came out.
	I probably didn't see it for a few years until after it came out on video, you know, probably at a babysitters or something like that.
	But I got to tell you this film for my generation, I was born in 79.
	Uh, I'm sort of right between the Gen X, uh, and, and the millennial generation, whatever.
	This movie was like our movie.
	And here's the great thing.
	I'm from Oregon.
	So this is Astoria, Oregon, right?
	Astoria, Oregon, which I've been to many times.
	And it's like I had a bike as a kid.
	I had a group of guys that I would ride around with.
	And that was our life.
	I mean, our life was riding around on bikes, exploring, looking for pirate treasure, whatever it was that we were looking for.
	We were always exploring something, exploring the forest and man this was my childhood.
	As a kid I don't even think I really appreciated how much this was this parallel of my own childhood until later in life I moved out of LA.
	I probably saw it again when I was in my 20s or something.
	I thought wow this you know not every kid got to have this childhood and I'm really lucky that I got to have it and they were really good at making movies about kids back in the 80s and this is this is one of them.
	And what would you call this movie?
	It's not kind of It's not kind of easy to categorize adventure, fantasy, comedy.
	I have issues with the monster character, the Fratelli brother, right?
	Sloth.
	Because it's like you see this thing and it's like, oh my gosh, have I suddenly dropped into The Elephant Man?
	What is this movie, Chris?
	Well, let me tell you something.
	I just called my brother right before we did the show.
	And my brother, not the one that you've met, I have two brothers, the other one was born
	with severe dyslexia and he was hyperactive, he was a total nutcase.
	One time in church he just wandered up on stage and started yelling, hey where's mom?
	He just had no sense of social norms, he was a complete outcast.
	Kids teased him all the time.
	I used to like tell kids, back off, that's my brother, you know, that kind of thing.
	And so I was a bit protective, but we all treated him like normal.
	If he was annoying, we'd yell at him.
	If he was, you know, he wasn't like, he wasn't like mentally ill or anything.
	He just had a few issues, but he's a really smart guy, really good guy, a really good man now, a husband, very, very good man.
	And he told me that he actually related to that Fertelli brother, that mangled mess outcast
	of a Fertelli brother who at first you're terrified by, but then becomes the real hero
	of the story.
	And that really touched me.
	I thought, you know what, I never saw any use for him either until this moment.
	And then I realized, you know what, actually characters like that can be very valuable
	in cinema for kids like my brother.
	So this is the story of a gang of kids who find a map in the attic of, you know, one of their fathers who is a curator at a museum.
	It's about buried treasure.
	One of them, Corey Feldman, speaks Spanish.
	His interpretation for the new housemaid scene is absolutely bloody hilarious.
	And they go on this wild goose chase, running into the Fratelli brothers and the mother, one of whom, Robert Darby, has just escaped from the county jail, and thus the mayhem ensues.
	It says this is directed by Richard Donner.
	Of course, there is a reference later on to Superman.
	You know, Sloth shows his T-shirt.
	One of my favorite movies is Donner's Superman.
	But it's produced by Spielberg.
	Some say it was a little bit like Previous movies like Poltergeist that were actually really directed by Spielberg, not produced.
	I think we have to admit, Chris, this is a Spielberg movie.
	Yeah, it's very Spielbergian.
	A lot of people, I mean, this film has been considered a mix between E.T.
	and Indiana Jones, you know, both Spielberg films.
	There's obviously a Richard Donner influence here, but it's strange that they would do, they would take Richard Donner, who had just come off Superman, which is like, you know, one of the, he had not just come off Superman, but he'd done Superman, which is considered probably one of the greatest films ever made, and a film for, Men and women, not children.
	I mean, children obviously loved it because it's Superman, but it was actually created for an adult audience.
	Right.
	And then he goes and he makes this film for children.
	I think it's interesting that they would go through so much effort to make a film of such high quality that's intended primarily for children.
	It really is.
	There are some silly moments.
	There are some like sound effects that are like from cartoons, like stuff like that, you know.
	And but The thing that I love about this film, real quick, I just want to throw this in here, it's a film about a gang of boys, just a gang of boys doing boy stuff.
	And I don't think we get that anymore.
	And you know what?
	And it's like, it's like my childhood, not just because it's kids on bikes riding around in Oregon in the forest, but you know, that's most boys childhood is with other boys doing boy stuff.
	And they just don't show that anymore.
	It's gotta be women, it's gotta be diverse, it's gotta be all these things.
	And this film had nothing to do with it.
	Yeah, they got an Asian kid, but he wasn't an Asian kid.
	But it's irrelevant.
	He was just a kid.
	It's irrelevant.
	It's irrelevant.
	He's just one of the kids in the neighborhood.
	Right.
	Short round from the second Raiders movie from Temple of Doom.
	His accent's so utterly cute, speaks Mandarin at the end with his father.
	And look, I'm older than you by nine years, but when I left school, I rode home on two different buses by myself.
	You know, regular buses.
	I had to buy a ticket, ride home, take me about half an hour.
	City bus.
	City bus.
	I got off, because we don't have school buses in England.
	There's no such thing as a yellow school bus.
	It doesn't exist.
	I got home.
	Ripped off my uniform, put on a pair of jeans and a t-shirt, and I was on my bicycle till the sun went down.
	Every stinking day, all day Sunday, all day Saturday, unless my dad wanted me to fix his car.
	That was my life.
	It was like, you know, half a dozen of us putting tens of miles on every afternoon.
	And also, the thing about this movie is, yeah, it's a movie, But the banter and the ribbing is just so... that's what young boys do!
	Yeah and you know what it is it's it's realistic and there is something special about a group of boys.
	Yes.
	I'll tell you what I did I used to do background acting where I was like an extra you know I was in the background and we did a movie once and it was like I think it was a world war ii film like yeah it was world war ii And it was the first time in many, many years that I had just been around men.
	Like, nobody else.
	Just males and nothing else.
	There wasn't any women around.
	Soldiers on set.
	You were just all male soldiers.
	Soldiers on set.
	Right.
	And there was a feeling to that.
	There was a sort of this weird positive energy.
	Yes.
	All the men engaging in this sort of like, you know, man talk and we didn't and it's not like I don't like women to be around or anything.
	I mean, I want people to think, oh, the conservative misogynist, you know.
	No, it's not like that.
	OK, I love women.
	I respect women and everything.
	But you know what?
	We do need to have this All through history, we've had men's clubs and men's groups, and I don't mean like, you know, gentlemen's clubs, like, you know, strip clubs.
	I mean, like, just clubs where men would gather.
	And men could just talk amongst themselves and be amongst themselves without the womenfolk, and the women would have their groups.
	You can now have women's groups, you can now have black groups, you can now have LGBTQ groups, you can have any group you want, but you can't really have men's groups.
	There are very few men's groups left.
	And I think that's a huge tragedy in our culture.
	Eric, should we have like a manhood hour on this show regularly?
	I think we should do that!
	No, you're absolutely right.
	You can call it toxic masculinity.
	You can steal that from me.
	We should invite this chap on.
	Of course we have a manhood hour.
	We're shifting the days of the week when we do Making Movies Great Again.
	We'll announce that later.
	But yeah, when I was in the British Army Reserves You know, a squad of guys together for a weekend in the dirt, in the muck, on an exercise.
	It's different.
	It's a different energy.
	It's not about hating women.
	It's just it's something that is needed for men now and again.
	Not all the time.
	We're not talking about incel culture.
	We're talking about masculinity.
	We are talking Goonies with Alpha Critic, the host of the Mr. Reagan channel.
	I'm Sebastian Gorka.

	But the worst thing I ever done, I picked up all this fake puke at home, and then I went to this movie theater, hid
	the puke in my jacket, climbed up to the balcony, and then I made a noise like this.
	And then I dumped it over the side.
	And all the people in the audience, then... Then this was horrible.
	All the people started getting sick and throwing up all over each other.
	I never felt so bad in my entire life.
	I'm beginning to like this kid much.
	Hit puree!
	No!
	I'm too young!
	No!
	I want to play the violin!
	I want to play the violin!
	I'm getting to like this kid, Ma.
	I actually sent a photograph of what this guy looks like now.
	That is, of course, Chunk, played by Jeff Cohen.
	Let's talk a little bit about acting.
	Let's talk about the kids.
	I'm sorry.
	Brolin's great.
	Sean Astin to see Samwise Ganges from Lord of the Rings.
	Amazing.
	Incredibly magnetic.
	But we've got to give it to Chunk.
	This guy's performance, not just with the blender, I mean, he just steals the show, doesn't he, Chris?
	Oh absolutely.
	The truffle shuffle is legendary.
	We all remember that when we were kids.
	So many good lines.
	And by the way, Robert Davi.
	Talk about Robert Davi.
	He's not known for comedy I don't think.
	That's not his genre.
	Except as the straight man in Die Hard.
	You remember?
	The straight man.
	That was hilarious.
	There's a lot of funny moments.
	It's like we're back in Nam.
	You remember?
	Well, I was in high school actually, you know?
	Yes, that's right!
	There was a couple of good moments in Die Hard for sure.
	But this is a line that he delivers that's a comedic line.
	It's perfect.
	I'm beginning to like this kid, Ma.
	You know, he's kind of like laughing the whole time.
	It's perfect.
	It's absolutely perfect.
	That whole scene is perfect.
	Chunk is perfect.
	Everything, the casting is amazing.
	I don't know.
	There's something about, I don't know what the deal was.
	Something in the water in the 1980s.
	Everyone seemed to be able to act beautifully.
	These kids were amazing.
	I have to say, Feldman was, he was a comic little, a little comic genius, right?
	Oh, absolutely.
	Oh, you know what's weird about that is like, I mean, He, in my, when I was a kid, you always knew somebody like that.
	There was always a kid that was kind of like a little bit dirtier than the other kid.
	You know, like his parents got, let him get away with more.
	The guy who'd always have access to the latest issue of Playboy.
	Always.
	Yes!
	Yes, that was him!
	And he played that character perfectly.
	I mean, he was, he was a legend in the 1980s, really.
	All right, let's show Mr. Truffle Shuffle now.
	This is the actor, former actor, Jeff Cohen.
	Looks a little bit different today.
	He's founded his own law firm and doesn't act anymore.
	But man, oh man, does he steal the show.
	What about Astin?
	I found Astin's before, because I'd never clicked previously when I'd seen bits of it.
	Now, this is the guy from Rudy.
	This is a guy from Lord of the Rings.
	He delivers his lines.
	You know, his father, it's not his like genetic father, but his adoptive father, I guess, was Gomez Adams from the original Adams family show.
	Yeah, yeah.
	Very good man.
	Very good man, according to the interviews I've seen with with Sean Astin.
	But yeah, I when I was a kid, this was the first role I'd ever seen him in.
	I think this is his first role ever, actually.
	Uh, but yeah, he reminded me of a kid from when I was a kid, like not a specific kid, but just he could have been my friend growing up, you know what I mean?
	So yeah, so like when I was a kid, I just thought...
	This kid's great.
	You know, he's, you know, sometimes I talk about what I call the Buffy the Vampire effect.
	What's that?
	Which is this, I had some friends that used to watch Buffy the Vampire Slayer when I was in high school and I never watched it.
	And as I got older, they would say, Chris, you got to watch this show.
	If you're a writer, you got to watch this.
	Okay.
	So I was like, why does everybody love this?
	It's like a cult classic show.
	Everybody who watched the show loves it, like really loves it.
	And I realized that while watching it, this is a show where all the characters you want to be your friend.
	And like, even if you got good friends at school and you're a cool kid, there's few people that are as cool as the people on that screen.
	Like, you want to hang out with them at least once a week.
	Even the nerdy girl?
	Yeah.
	Yeah, she's great.
	She's very charming, you know?
	You want to hang out with these people, and if you were the kind of person that watched Buffy in the 90s, you were probably a little nerdy, probably didn't have a lot of friends, so these could be your friends.
	Kind of like we're friends of the audience right now, right?
	Right.
	But the Goonies, when I was a kid, I wanted these guys to be my friends.
	These were like the perfect buddies to have.
	I wanted to be a Goonie, you know what I mean?
	Alright, let's talk about the first Goonie.
	According to Mikey, there is an individual who has been honorably mentioned as the first ever potential Goonie.
	Another classic clip from a classic movie.
	How are we?
	I'm Mike Walsh.
	You've been expecting me.
	I made it.
	I beat you.
	I got here in one piece.
	So that's why they call you One-Eyed Lily.
	One-Eyed Lily.
	Oh, my boy.
	We had a long coming.
	Oh, Willie.
	You're so funny.
	You're the first Goonie.
	You're the first Goonie we've ever had.
	We've got a lot in common.
	I guess that's why they call you One-Eyed Willy.
	We are talking Making Movies Great Again.
	The movie is the classic Goonies from 1986, directed by Richard Donner, produced and probably directed as well by Steven Spielberg.

	My friends and I just had a run-in with these really disgusting people.
	You might have heard of them, the Fatelis.
	Well, we found their hideout.
	Could you please, please take me to the sheriff's station?
	I can describe all three of them.
	A classic scene from the Goonies, Chris, but I don't get it.
	This guy clearly didn't ADR it.
	He actually sang that.
	And he like, sings like half a dozen times in the movie.
	What the hell is this?
	Why does he sing so much?
	Has anybody asked him?
	What do you think?
	Yeah, I'm wondering if this was scripted or if he just, uh, if he just, like, improv'd that.
	Because it seems like something the actor would have just figured out, I want to do this, and it worked out really, really well.
	Well, should we ask him?
	I think maybe we should just ask him.
	Robert Darvey, are you there?
	I'm here and I think I can clear this whole thing up.
	This is the first time ever we have had a special guest on Making Movies Great Again, and it is the infamous Jake Fratelli, otherwise known as Robert Darvey, a lethal, scary villain and also a funny villain, whether it's James Bond or the Goonies.
	Tell us the story.
	First, I'm going to let Chris brought you on.
	I'm going to let Chris interrogate you.
	But one question I have of everybody I've ever met who's an actor, who's famous.
	Was it fun to make this movie?
	Oh, yeah.
	Yeah, we had five and a half months with Dick Donner being the principal director, Steven Spielberg being the second director, five months, and Frank Marshall being the third director.
	We had three directors, you know, because they do second unit and third units on a film such as this back then.
	But it was a lot.
	I had a suspicion it was super fun.
	Chris, what do you want to know about Goonies from our special guest, Robert?
	Well, we opened with this singing, but we didn't get you a chance to answer.
	What's the story with that?
	Was that your own thing or was that scripted?
	I'll give you the whole little rundown.
	So here I am, you know, as an actor, you're playing a character and I was signed to do Rambo and then Goonies came along and I had to pull out a Rambo 2 because the schedules overlapped and it was Uh, unfortunate that I had to do that.
	I was hoping to do both of them at the same time.
	What was your role in Rambo 2?
	That was going to be Erickson, who was going to go into the jungle to help Sly.
	When I left it, he rewrote the thing because it was a big, a bigger part and stuff and, uh, helicopter guy.
	And, uh, I was all buffed out and ready to go.
	And then Spielberg, my agent said, Spielberg and Dick Donnell want to meet you on the Goonies.
	I go, what the hell is a Goonie?
	No, I was more of a Rambo guy.
	But it was Spielberg, Bauner, and Warner Brothers, and we tried to work out dates.
	It didn't work, and I wound up doing the Goonies.
	And the character, Jake Fratelli, the Fratellis were counterfeiters.
	And Jake looked at himself as an... Jake Fratelli, the character I played, but you build a backstory with the character.
	And my thing was he was a frustrated artist.
	He was a singer.
	And the mother wouldn't listen to him, and the brother, Francis, that's Joe Pantoliano, wouldn't listen to me.
	The only time anyone would listen to me is when I feed Sloth, who's chained in the basement.
	And the way the script was written, guys, it was written that I bring a plate of food to him, and I just put it out of reach, and then as he goes to get the food, I, with my foot, move it away, so he can never reach it, and frustrates him.
	So I said to Dick Donner and to Spielberg, I said, it's so the now, that kind of moment.
	I says, what if Jake was a frustrated opera singer and nobody would listen to him, but Sloth had to listen for his supper.
	And that's how that came about.
	So they said, what do you mean?
	I says, they said, show us what you mean.
	So I did it and they loved it.
	And then the sequence you opened with in the car, when Chunk does the Barucca to Adonai, Steven Spielberg shot that moment and he said, you know, remember when you sang it?
	Put in a song, put in some song here.
	And I had to come up with something that was public domain because they weren't sure.
	So I did a riff on the Madame Butterfly thing that Pinkerton does.
	And you're still singing as your ma is bundling chunk in the back of the Jeep.
	You keep on singing.
	Yes, because he really didn't want to deal with the boys screaming.
	And I tried to make, even when you play a villain, you're looking for characters that are something that the audience can feel a little empathy towards.
	It rounds them out.
	And I thought these were big kids, the Fratellis.
	They were the goonies on the wrong side of the tracks with a very devastating mama.
	He is a singer of great renown.
	The latest release is The House I Live In.
	Follow him right now.
	Follow him on Twitter at Robert John Darby.
	I have so many questions, but this was Chris's idea, so he's gonna get to interrogate you.
	I'm Sebastian Gawker.
	This is making movies great again with Mr. Reagan Chris Coles special guest Robert Darby
	Pizza?
	Shh!
	Pepperoni?
	Shh!
	Come on, I need my pepperoni.
	You want your pepperoni?
	Huh?
	Come on, let's kill each other over the pepperoni!
	Hey, put that gun away!
	I said put that gun away now!
	Hey, put that gun away!
	I said put that gun away now!
	Hey, put that gun away!
	I said put that gun away now!
	Hey, put that gun away!
	I said put that gun away now!
	Hey, put that gun away!
	I said put that gun away now!
	Hey, put that gun away!
	I said put that gun away now!
	Put that gun away! I said put that gun away now!
	Always take his side, my lad. You always liked him better than me.
	That's it!
	That, I don't know who threw through that, whether that was a stuntman or whether it was Joe himself,
	but that slice of pizza really hit you on the kisser, Robert.
	Uh, tell us what it was like working with, uh, with the rest of the Fratelli gang.
	Oh, they were wonderful.
	Ann Ramsey, who played Mama Fratelli, was one of the sweetest women you could imagine.
	And Joey and I had previously done From Here to Eternity together and Heart to Heart.
	And we had a sibling relationship even from those moments.
	But we respected each other, liked each other.
	And that moment with the pizza came from my cousins, Johnny and Georgie.
	I remember my aunt saying, go ahead, kill each other over the meatballs.
	It wound up as kill each other over the pepperoni.
	And I told Ann Ramsey, I said, hit me again, because I wanted Jake to be the The big kid, the kid that maybe the audience felt a little sorry for, and she whacked off and just got me one.
	Chris, what do you want to know about the inside scoop from the Goonies from Robert?
	Well, you know, Robert, we kind of explore on this show.
	Why 80s movies are so amazing, right?
	So many movies that come from the 80s are classics today.
	I just feel like, and so many movies you've been in personally are considered great classics of cinema.
	You are a legend, okay?
	I don't feel like there are that many films coming out today, if any, That 20 years from now, 30 years from now, will be considered classics.
	And yet we look back at the 80s, and like we were talking about the other day, like 1982 alone has like 10 classic movies from that, you know, from that one year.
	I mean, it was mental.
	What do you think the difference is that made those movies so great?
	And maybe you disagree with us.
	Maybe there are movies today that you say this will be a classic in 20 years, but I don't think so.
	And I'm curious why you think films then were just so much better than films today.
	Well, you still have the studios that were at the tail end of, you know, Hollywood started from the immigrant population that came over from Hungary and Poland and different countries around the world that came to America and had a certain love of the country and a certain ideological idea.
	There was other things creeping in, of course, from the 50s and the 70s and the 80s, but there was at the basis of it, it wasn't as corporate as it is today.
	Today, you're having a lot of these corporate people who are very smart and some very good films are made, but they have a corporate mentality that is more about the bottom line.
	And I think, I'd say the Goonies, for instance, the Goonies are about a bunch of kids that were probably bullied in school.
	And they are the ones that saved the parents.
	They band together to save these corporate raiders.
	And so there's a friend of mine, J-Ax, who's a big star in Italy.
	He's one of the biggest, biggest stars in Italy.
	And he says Italy is the Goonies of Europe.
	And he has a tattoo of Goonies on him.
	This is like the Jay-Z of Italy.
	And he said that Goonies is more important to him than war and peace.
	Wow.
	I told you, Seb!
	I told you!
	No, okay, alright.
	I'm just a little bit older than you, so I missed it by about nine years, but is it really that simple, Robert?
	For me, what it sounds like is what you're talking about is heart and passion.
	These movies were made by people who just cared.
	Not about the... I mean, they wanted to make money, but the passion was in the storytelling.
	Is it that simple?
	It's partly that simple.
	Yes, it was partly that simple.
	And partly, you know, look at the educational process.
	We both know, we all know that following the history, that our culture has been infiltrated.
	And our country, our educators, the media, there's an infiltration that's just over the tipping point.
	And it didn't get there back then.
	And don't forget you had stars.
	I did my first film with Frank Sinatra in 1977.
	Wow.
	That was for the Reagan years in the 80s.
	And there was a in Hollywood whereby there would be a difference of a political opinion.
	The Johnny Carson show.
	Johnny would be fair on both sides.
	He would be talking about the Biden corruption today, unlike Kimmel and unlike the other guys.
	They don't bring it up.
	But Johnny Carson would bring this thing up and it would be a fair kind of country.
	And I think it's it also goes with that.
	You're going into a country that's now propagandizing.
	It's almost like the arm of the World War II, Germany in the 1930s, where there were propaganda films
	and an agenda that was being promoted, except instead of human stories and to capture us,
	to bring us together.
	Yeah, it has become a propaganda outlet.
	Sorry, go ahead, Chris.
	We gotta point out as well, one of the reasons that we know the legendary Robert Davi is he is a great patriot as well, not just a great actor, but he's a strong patriot.
	We have great respect for you, sir, not just for your, you know, legacy of filmmaking, But for your stand on politics and your willingness, I mean it is, you know, Hollywood is a dangerous place to be outspoken with your views if you don't align with sort of Marxist orthodoxy.
	I was here to review movies.
	I'm the one who's always afraid about talking too much politics on this show and Chris is overtaking my show where he's the co-host.
	Who the hell do you think you are?
	Am I wrong?
	No, you're not.
	And on that note, I will say, because it needs to be mentioned, I think it's the most recent movie you made, correct me if I'm wrong, but My Son Hunter is stunning.
	Absolutely.
	Lawrence Fox, who acts Hunter Biden, Gina Carano's the Secret Service agent.
	If there's anybody, the millions of people watching right now who haven't seen Robert's latest movie, go right now, mysonhunter.com, because this is a man Who isn't just an amazing actor, patriot, incredible singer.
	You're just, you have, let me put this politely, testicular fortitude, okay?
	You have balls, my friend, and I'm so delighted when, independent of me, not only did Chris choose this movie, he said, hey, shall we get one of the stars on?
	I said, Yeah, yeah, who?
	And when it turned out to be you, I'm super excited.
	So follow this man right now.
	I have one more geeky question I have to ask, because I'm a geek.
	Robert John Darvey on Twitter.
	Mysonhunter.com is the movie.
	We are making movies great again with Chris Coles and our special guest, Robert Darvey.
	This is America First.
	I hate it when our guests say really important stuff in the breaks.
	Mr. Darvey, what did you just tell us?
	Well, I said, because of you, I tried the relief factor, and it works.
	I mean, I'm one of those 500,000 people.
	Well, we love to hear that.
	We love to hear that.
	God bless you.
	All right, I'm going to geek out right now.
	I love the making of stuff as much as watching the movies.
	This took you five months.
	There's this galley they built.
	Richard Donner allegedly didn't show it to the kids until the day of shooting so they could be awe-inspired.
	You are sitting in, climbing in water, for the second half of the movie.
	What the heck is that like?
	Because that must have been weeks, if not months, of being drenched.
	Tell us the hardships of being an actor.
	Well, they were very, of course, because you're dealing with children at the time.
	The adults, Jimmy, Joey, and Anne, that's a different story.
	But with the kids, there's a lot of restrictions.
	The stage was at Warner Brothers.
	It's the biggest underwater stage at the time.
	And that ship, when we saw the pirate ship, it was bigger than life size.
	I wish they should have saved that.
	They couldn't get anybody to save that boat, that ship, and put it at a theme park.
	But it was absolutely incredible.
	The water was very warm.
	And everyone was taken care of once you got wet.
	So it wasn't that bad.
	I'm going to give you a little inside beat.
	Remember when I'm climbing the rocks?
	If you remember the scene when I'm climbing the rocks, and Chris, when Data then has that punching thing that comes out of his chest, all right?
	Well, that wasn't written in there.
	What was happening was we were shooting the scene.
	The script was written by Chris Columbus and directed by Dick Donner and Stephen did second unit.
	Now, as I'm climbing the rock and I'm telling Stephen, he's shooting that sequence, I go, I don't... He's right here.
	How's he gonna... He can't get... So I said, Steve, what if... He's data, right?
	He's got all these little things.
	What if he had a punch bag?
	You press the button and one of those things come out and... He goes, I love it.
	Well, Steven, we didn't shoot that scene.
	He says, well, come back and shoot that.
	Let's rig this thing.
	And three days later, we came and that was rigged.
	And so they were very open to all kinds of... So what you're saying is that you are a co-director of the Goonies, Mr. Darvey.
	Special effects!
	Special effects!
	Chris, over to you.
	Yeah, he half wrote the script, really.
	Listen, I love The Goonies.
	It's one of my favorite of all time films.
	You know, as a kid growing up in Oregon, I absolutely loved it.
	I know Astoria has like a Goonies Day, you know, every year they have a thing.
	I know you've been to it, but I wanted to ask you... Someone just bought the house.
	Someone just bought the house and wants to do it.
	They weren't going to let people go see the house.
	So this guy, this entrepreneur, bought the house, the Goonie House, so kids can come and families can come and take a look at it.
	That's very cool.
	I'm going to go visit.
	I'm going to go visit.
	But the question I wanted to ask you is about acting.
	Because I feel like a lot of films today, TV shows, films today, they bring on actors that seem like they're from musical theater, right?
	They're overactors.
	They overdo it.
	Everything is like, you know, projected, these massive expressions in their face.
	Yeah, they're flamboyant, they overact.
	I know you do theater, so you're able to kind of fix that in your brain.
	There's a difference between acting in a movie, the subtleties of how you move your face and everything.
	What is the secret to good acting for film and television?
	I feel like we've lost that today.
	And what is it about 80s actors that they could just do it naturally?
	Well, don't forget they were trained.
	My training, I went to Hofstra on a drama scholarship, then went to Manhattan, worked with Stella Adler for three years.
	I got into the actor's studio.
	So we're method-based.
	And you did a tremendous amount of theater before you stepped in front of a camera.
	And you understood the technique of filmmaking and film acting.
	And the difference is there was a guy, a great screenwriter, a scriptwriter, Anton Chekhov, who wrote brilliant plays, but his nephew, the greatest actor of the Moscow Art Theater, and he taught in Hollywood for years, Gary Cooper, Anthony Quinn, Clint Eastwood, Jack Nicholson.
	And he said, I didn't work with him, but I had the guy that developed his technique, I worked with him.
	But he used to say that the stage acting, the difference is getting a trumpet and putting a mute on the trumpet.
	So you have to All the intensity that goes on in stage, but you pull it back.
	You pull it back, you hold back, because the camera is your lens.
	The camera explodes on you.
	And I think a lot of people... There's also a style that has developed nowadays, a flamboyant in that style that you're talking about, that has been lost, you know?
	That has been... Kids aren't training the way they should.
	Yeah, and I just don't...
	I just don't believe the actors today so much, and I believe everything that you did in every film, you know?
	Well, Chris, I think you just answered your question from half an hour ago.
	Why are we not going to talk about movies made today?
	No podcaster in 30 years is going to be talking about a raft of movies that were made this year like we are right now.
	Why?
	Because back then we had actors like Robert Darvey making those movies, alright?
	The time has come.
	We have to rate the movie, and then we have to choose our next movie.
	This is what we do every week, Robert.
	We will do your rating as enjoyment factor for of the time.
	I'm going to do it for the panoply of movies, and we will be rating out of ten doubloons.
	Chris Coles.
	I, because I didn't catch this when I was a kid, I'm going to give Goonies eight gold doubloons.
	What is your doubloon count?
	Well, like you said, I rate this on how a modern audience would view the film from the 80s if they knew nothing about it.
	And my rating, and I'll say my rating for me personally is a 10 because I love this movie so much.
	Well, we know that!
	We know that, yeah.
	But no, I think that any audience today will go back and love this movie.
	I think this is another 10.
	I think this is a 10.
	All right.
	Wonderful.
	And I'm very grateful to you, Robert, for joining us today.
	My son Hunter is the movie.
	Follow him on Twitter as well.
	Get his latest album.
	I just dated myself there with that phrase.
	Next movie.
	I do believe it's my choice, isn't it, Chris?
	Yes, I picked Goonies.
	It's your choice.
	Eric, do we humor our producer, Mr. Jeff?
	Is that essentially saying let's do another science fiction movie?
	No, it's saying actually be nice to him.
	Shall I be nice to Jeff?
	I think the time has come for that, yes.
	All right, the next movie.
	I love it.
	I love it, but I wasn't going to do it yet.
	Ferris Bueller's Day Off, Chris.
	What do you think?
	Oh, I cannot wait.
	One of my favorites.
	One of my favorites.
	I don't know anybody in the cast like you knew Robert Darvey, so we'll have to ask Robert to help us out.
	But in the meantime, God bless all of you.
	I'm Sebastian Gawker.
	You've been listening to Making Movies Great Again with Chris Coles, Mr. Reagan, Robert Darvey.
