So, I'm going to be doing a little bit of a commentary on the game.
Welcome dear friends.
Happy Friday!
Happy Friday!
We have an amazing show lined up for you today.
But first, can I start with a little story?
Everybody likes a story.
Mr. G, where do my stories from the world come from?
There's like two or three locations, correct?
Post Office and 7-Eleven.
And don't forget walking the dog!
Right, Eric?
Is that what we forgot?
That's my personal favorite.
So for four and a half years it's been the post office, it's been 7-Eleven where crazies want to kill me because I'm not wearing a mask, and then walking my dog running into certain hosts at Fox News who have to be told how to behave themselves.
Right, Jeff?
And every time you return to the White House.
You know what?
I was with Mike Gallagher in Greer last week with those amazing listeners and Gallagher told the Jim Acosta story again every time I'm on his stage with Mike Gallagher.
He had to tell the story about me dealing with Jim Acosta at the White House when he insulted me.
Alright, I have a new location.
I have a new location for my stories.
Since my wife Katie won her election to the local community center because of the Drag Queen Story Hour they held there and she said not happening on my watch and she ran and she won last month.
She wanted to go to an event there last night and it was a Democrat event and I don't usually go to Democrat events but I said what on earth are you going there for?
It's a debate between the two Democrat candidates for the local district supervisor.
And one of them, let's put his photograph up, is called Jimmy Bierman.
Yeah, Jimmy Bierman.
And she wanted to go and see what he looks like.
Why?
Because when she ran for the local community board position last year, This democrat sent an email out calling my wife a fascist.
Yeah, my wife.
And she just wanted to see what he looked like.
And I said, yeah, I want to see what he looks like and then a little bit more.
And it was quite an interesting evening.
We sat there amongst a crowd of Democrats.
There was one Republican in the room who was there by mistake.
She thought she was there for the another meeting entirely of some accounting body or something but she recognized me and she sat through the whole thing and it was fascinating.
Katie left kind of depressed because she realized just how organized the left is and just how indoctrinated they are.
And it's true.
The debate between the two candidates, a guy called Fisk and this guy called Biermann, was spicy.
Really spicy.
Because Biermann, who is, you know, lifelong Democrat, steeped in Democrat politics, he's lied about his primary opponent, calling him a Republican.
Yeah, I mean, just basically smearing him.
And he did that to somebody else who was in the room, who was another Democrat candidate, and said that she is a far-right, you know, stalking horse.
That little old lady, she took the podium as well and called out this lying Democrat as well.
But the thing that you watched for an hour, more than an hour, was how on every talking point It was like, like a cult.
Everybody in the room clapped when you mentioned, you know, LGBTQ and Planned Parenthood and the endorsements of the unions.
It was really, it was quite frightening in a sense of, these are all adults and they're acting like lemmings.
They're just, it's a, it's a drone.
It's a hive of drones that aren't thinking.
They're just responding to these indoctrinated talking points.
And of course, in Fairfax County, where we live, in Virginia, which is one of the richest counties in America, there is no Planned Parenthood.
And what is the talking point that got The most applause in the evening.
It's not a sparring debate point between the two primary candidates.
It's when Bierman said, and it will be one of my goals as, what, district supervisor?
To have a Planned Parenthood open in Fairfax County.
Because I guess 900,000 babies killed a year isn't enough, right, Bierman?
Yeah, they are organized.
Yeah, they are indoctrinated.
But here's some good news.
I sat through the whole thing.
I watched this slimeball who wants more abortions, who actually wants to raise taxes.
That'll be popular.
In fact, they actually clapped at that as well because they're drones.
That individual attacks his fellow Democrats all the time because, you know, that's what they do.
But he's also a coward.
Because I was going to wait till the event was over and to walk up to him and tell him, don't you ever say that about my wife again.
Funniest thing was, halfway through the debate, he started sputtering.
He couldn't talk.
He was catching his mouth, smacking his lips.
And he said, can somebody get me a bottle of water from the back?
Can one of my team?
And he said, in front of everybody.
I was in the back row.
He said, well, you do know Sebastian Gorka's here.
It's like, oh, really?
Do I cause you to have a dry mouth?
Poor little Jimmy Beerman.
I raised that later when I spoke to him.
But here's the interesting thing, and here's the good point, and this is why the story's important.
Katie's right.
My wife is right, okay?
She's smarter than I am.
She won her election.
God bless her.
She's sane.
She controls herself, unlike me.
But she's right.
They're organized.
Man, are they organized!
The GOP in our county, in our district, in our state, they've kind of written it off.
They just don't care.
They've just written it off.
But it doesn't matter that they're organized.
Because after the debate, I stayed there and I waited for Jimmy Behrman to walk to the exit.
And he crapped his pants.
I went up to this little pile of dog turd.
I told him, did you really call my wife a fascist?
And he avoided me and he tried to twist and turn and put his campaign, this little female campaign manager between him and me, and he just, he was just so afraid.
You know what he did?
They went from the debate to the minutes of the meeting, the Democrat district meeting, which he's not a member of, and he refused to leave the room because he saw me at the entrance waiting for him again.
And he went back and sat down in the room.
And I went up to him again and I said, Nasty case of dry mouth, Jimmy.
So here's the good news.
Yeah, they're organized.
Yeah, they're indoctrinated.
Yeah, they talked about trans kids because they're bloody evil.
But here's the good news.
They're all stinking cowards.
Every single one of them.
From Biden, to AOC, to Hunter, to John Kelly, who's really a Democrat.
All of them, every single one of them, are stinking cowards.
And when you stand up straight, they shrivel up like useless little cowards that they are.
So take heart, my friends.
God is on our side because we believe in the truth and we stand by the truth.
And we will win.
We've already won 2,000 years ago.
On a hill outside Jerusalem.
But we'll win against these evil scumbags as well.
All it takes is to stand up to them.
Because they fold.
And they're scared of us.

Thank you so much for your donation to Angel Tree Camping.
We may never know the far-reaching impact that your gift will have in the lives of these children with an incarcerated parent, but we do know that at camp, they find a safe place where they can lay aside their burdens and just be a kid.
They find love and acceptance.
They find that they are not alone, and there is such power that comes from that knowledge.
And most importantly, they find hope through the good news of Jesus.
May God bless you for giving to pour into the lives of these children.

Hi, this is President Trump and Sebastian is really a friend of mine.
He's a great guy.
He's been with me from the beginning.
Listen to him.
We all learn.
Thank you, Mr. President.
Hey, Alex, can we make a new liner out of what President Trump said when he gave me that shout-out on Tuesday at Bedminster?
Absolutely.
I'll get it done today.
Oh, I love it, love it.
Let's do it.
Can't have enough liners from the boss.
What about that guy?
What's his name?
Lotta.
We should have him do some new liners.
Can you reach out, Jeff?
See if you can get him in the show sometime soon.

Can we make it 102, 103 in the last few hours?
It's 200 bucks per child.
Will you make a difference?
70% of these girls and boys end up in the system themselves.
Let's break that cycle.
You can make a difference.

So there I was at Bedminster for the first time ever.
900 mega MAGA donors there and I was having cigars on the balcony with Kash Patel waiting for my buddy Boris texting him photographs of the cigar that I'm having because that's what we do and he was just too busy because I don't know he was on the plane.
Boris whose plane were you on?
Sebastian an honor to be with you and honor to be with the audience and I was on a historic Yeah, but I didn't get to have a cigar with you.
You were too busy.
You were right there with the boss.
President Donald J. Trump, and it was truly a one-alone standout night at Bedminster as
President Trump addressed the nation with a powerhouse speech.
It was wonderful to see you there, my friend.
Yeah, but I didn't get to have a cigar with you.
You were too busy.
You were right there with the boss.
I saw you in the front row.
Well, you know, work always comes first, but hey, I did end up having a good one this week,
and I just met me, and Ben too, and sent you the pictures.
But, you know, again, it was great to see you there.
Such an outpouring of love, such an outpouring of support for President Trump.
In Miami, in Bedminster, and all across the country, as we see polling coming in, that is... Well, we'll talk about the polling.
We'll talk about the polling in a second.
You're going to give us an update.
But first things first, I have to say, because I've, you know, I've been, of course, you know, following them all.
We've been playing them on the show.
I think that was the best speech he's given.
Not just because of its historic significance, but it was the best speech because of the message.
You know, this phrase, the seal has been broken.
You know that as an attorney, what that means.
And the idea that a sitting president has had his political opponent arrested and charged means that they've crossed a line that never should have been crossed in America.
and and just the energy forget bedminster which was a a a riot of positive energy
the the cafe in miami the president walks in like it's it's an average day hey you want a selfie
yeah take a selfie so his his mood was just so upbeat boris how does he do it well everyone
knows the president trump is unlike any other politician because he's not really a politician
He's a man of the people.
In a lot of ways, he's the most successful American in our country's history.
And what I was so honored to see firsthand on Monday is somebody who's being persecuted, who's being attacked, but who is resolute, who is absolutely confident, and who's fighting for our country, defiant and fighting for our country, and winning for our country.
And it was amazing to witness that for me personally.
In Miami, everywhere on the streets, all the way from Doral to downtown Miami to then, of course, Cafe Versailles, where the reception was.
Alright, we've had Rich Barris on last week, we had Robert Kahlili yesterday, two of the only, you know, pollsters I trust.
people are looking to bring back to the White House as soon as humanly possible.
All right we we've had Rich Barris on last week we had Robert Kahaly yesterday
two of the only you know pollsters I trust. Tell us about the incredible
numbers we're seeing just this week Boris. Just today Sebastian two polls
that I want to specify one One, Big Village, President Trump at 56 nationally, Ron DeSanctimonio, the absolutely failed candidate whose fake campaign went nowhere, especially with his consultant driven around the world tour that was a disaster, and his campaign is going nowhere, is at 15, 1-5.
56 to 15.
That is not a race.
That's an annihilation.
And in New Hampshire, President Trump at 47, the Florida governor is at 13.
And all of these polls are this week after the boxes hoax persecution brought against
President Trump.
The American people are seeing these attacks for what they are, which is political witch-hunts,
and they're coalescing and rallying around President Trump.
And the numbers are bearing it out.
I've got a prediction, Boris.
If he's, like, getting a bump of five to ten points per, you know, arraignment, if we add in Georgia, the second Jack Smith, and the other two cases, there might be a danger, Boris, that if this math holds, President Trump will be at 100% support in the next six months.
Well, here's what I think, Sebastian.
I think he's already close to there anyway.
Because if you, you know, when you look deep into the numbers, and you add in those who are leaning toward voting for him, and those who, you know, are probably voting for him, but still, he's at about 80%.
This race is an absolute disaster for any of these pretenders, and it's dominant by President Donald J. Trump, and it is because he is the only one who can bring our country back, who can rebuild our borders, rebuild our economy, rebuild our energy independence and dominance, and bring our country back to greatness.
We've got 30 seconds left.
I did a whole monologue.
I railed against Pence and Pompeo yesterday.
You have been loyal to the president since the get-go.
What is it about these people who support a man for years and then decide that it's okay to just stab him in the back?
Is there no honor left in this city, Boris?
Well, they say, you know, in politics, if you want a friend, get a dog.
And unfortunately, what again, these pretenders are showing is that they don't have a backbone.
They don't have loyalty.
And that's why they're toiling at 0% or in Pompeo's case, he's not even getting in.
America people want authenticity.
The America people want strength.
The America people want President Donald J. Trump back in the Oval Office.
God bless Boris.
He is on fire as well.
Follow him everywhere.

He is the highest paid liner reader in the radio industry.
No seriously, I think we might have to pay him this time.
He's Mark Lauder, my former colleague in the White House, former Director of Strategic Communications for the 2020 Trump campaign, and former Special Assistant to President Trump.
Mark, welcome back.
It's been a minute.
It's been a little bit, yeah.
How you doing?
I am great, although it feels like Bedminster was...
Weeks ago.
This week is just insane.
I'm sure it's been crazy for you.
It really has.
You forget about just how fast everything keeps moving.
It's giving me PTSD from when we were in the White House.
It's what I used to call moving at the speed of Trump.
Do you remember?
Yeah.
Moving at the speed of Trump.
And no one can.
And no one can, but you're expected to.
And you know, he sleeps less than we do and we're supposed to keep up with him.
We're 20 years younger than him.
It's like, please, sir, please, can you just slow down for just one day?
One day?
I mean, all right, let's have some fun.
Can we have some fun first?
Can I entertain you?
Absolutely.
There's a guy I used to debate when I was on Sinclair TV, who is now the obligatory leftist on my friend Chris Plant's brand new show on Newsmax.
It's called The Squad.
It's... Been there quite a few times.
You have.
And I saw you the first night, and you were really good.
No, thank you.
You're very natural.
They actually wanted me tonight, but I said no, because I'm doing your show.
Oh, you're going to get me in trouble with Chris.
All right, but you've got to watch it at 9pm on Newsmax.
And the leftist they have there is called Jason Nichols, and he spun something last night that just is like, I don't know if he found Hunter Biden's crack pipe, but I've got to get your reaction.
Cut for Jason Nichols on Newsmax!
But I'm going to give you guys some inside ball, and I know you're not going to listen to me on this, but I'm going to give you some inside ball.
Democrats want Trump in 2024.
They want to run against Trump.
They don't want to run it.
I'll tell you who's a much harder race, and I've said it over and over again.
Tim Scott would be a really tough out for Joe Biden.
That's a scary race for Democrats.
Well, clearly they want him because they want him to run, and that's why they're prosecuting him.
Right, Mark?
Correct.
Actually, though, to be honest with you, I'm going to agree with him.
What?
I'm going to agree with him.
Because every time they indict him, Donald Trump gets stronger and he secures the nomination.
It's amazing.
And then they think, mistakenly, that these indictments, these charges, are going to weaken him in a general election.
Right.
But they're forgetting one key element.
Joe Biden has a record.
He didn't have a record in 2020 that we could run against.
You're not going to blame him for Obama decisions.
Nobody can remember, you know, back when he entered the Senate, you know, when we were still in the Stone Age.
And so now he's got a record.
He owns gas prices.
He owns the grocery prices.
He owns the border.
He owns the whole thing.
It's all on him.
And so be careful what you ask for when you try to pick your opponent, because you might get them.
They wanted Trump in 16 too, and how'd that work out for them?
There's also another issue that one of our guests mentioned this week, and it's genius because it's just a statement of fact.
Take politics out of the equation for a second.
There's one human being on this planet who's got more votes as president than any other human being.
And it's President Trump.
It's 64 plus 73 million.
You know, whatever really happened in 2020, this man has had more votes collectively as president than anybody in history.
And every time they come after him, he gets stronger.
I mean, are these people really stupid, Mark?
Because this is the kind of conclusion I come to.
Well, I think the only thing that they can think about You know, and obviously my job in politics when I was on the campaign is like, okay, what are our opponents going to do?
They think that they can distract.
They don't want to talk about the issues.
They can't talk about the wall, inflation, people's pocketbooks.
So the only way they can avoid that is to try to talk about all these other witch hunts and hoaxes that they're trying to get Trump on.
And so from their standpoint, And much to his comment, they don't want to run against anyone else because you lose that.
Now we've got to debate the issues and they think they're going to lose that.
Well, you're going to debate the issues and lose it with Trump too.
We're talking to Mark Lutter.
Follow him right now.
It's Mark with a C. M-A-R-C underscore Lutter.
We're going to keep him in studio because he's here for another segment.
If you have a cell phone, let me ask you a very simple question.
Are you funding your enemies?
And if you are, how dumb is that?
If you're with one of the big cell phone providers, they're left wing.
They're woke.
They fund things like Planned Parenthood and gun control organizations.
Why would you do that?
That doesn't make any sense, does it?
There's only one Christian conservative cell phone company in America.
It's the one I use.
It's called Patriot Mobile.
They have the same nationwide 4G and 5G network.
They have a three network performance guarantee, free activation with my name.
And guess what?
They're on your side.
They love America.
They've donated hundreds of millions of dollars to things you believe in.
Yes, you believe in.

Thanks for watching.
I mean, they did that like 60 times.
I mean, like trash 60 bikes.
And he does it.
And he does it.
It's just amazing.
I mean, that... He's a little bit caffeinated for me.
He's like President Trump plus a couple of espressos.
Yeah, with a parachute.
And the funniest thing was, do you remember with that documentary they showed about him doing the stunt?
That he's jumping off a cliff on a motorbike and everybody is wearing a COVID mask.
And you're thinking... That's true.
Yeah, you probably, there's probably... COVID's not the least of his concerns right now.
COVID isn't the issue right now, guys.
The ground is.
Will the parachute open for the 57th time?
Yeah.
And then I read somewhere, and I forget which one it was, when he was hanging off the side of the airplane.
Yeah.
No insurance company would insure it, so he insured it himself.
It's nice to have that much money, but I'm like, all right, dude.
I'm actually looking forward to it.
What, Eric?
I said I love Tom Cruise so much.
He's a little weird though, but that jumping on the couches thing is a little fruity.
But then we did like a skydive out of the hot air balloon just to say thanks to the audience for watching Top Gun Maverick.
I didn't know that!
That was the thing, yeah, he filmed, like, he's like in the middle of filming the movie, and the director there, Christopher Cory, is there with him, and he's like, we gotta film this stunt real quick for Mission Impossible, I just wanna say thanks for coming out to see Top Gun Maverick, and then he just dives out, and it was so good.
I didn't know that.
Alright, so we've done Jason, we'll save Barack for Byron Donalds.
We've got that crazy DeSantis cut, how much time have we got here?
We've actually got a decent... Oh, I've got to send you a photograph quickly for this PhD read.
Oh, I don't recognize that name.
Jeff Alexander McCaskill.
Huh.
Interesting.
All right, this is for the PhD read.
What else have we got?
Oh, come in with cut seven.
That's too funny.
Come in with seven.
And remember, you've got to point it up, Alex, for the questioner.
Got it.
What was the other cut I said I'd use with Mark?
Eleven.
Witmer.
Oh, okay.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Just working on getting these pictures.
♪♪♪ Thank you.
Thank you.
Why did the Ukrainian FBI informant file a referral to you today?
Why is that? Why did I say the right question? It's the New York Post real journalists asking
about the account resident in the White House getting $5 million.
Could be up to 30 according to Chairman Comer.
Don't ask such a stupid question, how dare you?
We are starting to see him get rattled.
Are the left going to throw him under the truck?
Under the bus, we shall see.
In the meantime, summer is upon us.
Are you ready?
I just was asked, because I saw her for the first time, Dr. Ashley Lucas and her amazing team, her PhD weight loss team, said, can you send me a before photograph, before we met, and then a photograph now?
And I did this morning.
Scary.
I sent it to my kids.
I said, What do you think?
Before and after.
That's what losing 42 pounds looks like.
If you could lose a spare tire around the middle, do what I did.
I remember a time where certain phrases were verboten in politics, but I guess if you're on the left it doesn't matter.
Gretchen Whitmer, strange, I wonder why she's doing that, is launching a new pack which has, let's just say to use a leftist term, a problematic name.
Cut 11!
Well, Michigan's still a very blue state, right?
I mean, sorry, a very purple state.
We turned it blue in this last election, but no one should make any assumption that the fight is over, the fight continues.
And that's why we've got to fight like hell.
It's why the work that we're doing to create a PAC to support candidates and causes that
are on the front line of democracy.
FightLikeHellPAC.org is a way that we are working to ensure we hold on to these fundamental
freedoms in Michigan, but also expand and support candidates who are on the front lines
to protect this democracy.
Because we are in a very precarious moment in this country.
Mark Lauder, I thought you weren't allowed to say Fight Like Hell.
Is that like an insurrectionist's pack?
It depends on who says it.
Oh, okay.
Yeah, because the mainstream media gets to decide who's allowed to use certain phrases.
Is that like thought control?
Like word control?
Yeah, it helps when you control all the levers of communication and government.
So if you've got a D after your name, it's okay?
Right.
Then you can do that?
You can talk about fighting?
Correct.
They can be about democracy, but then not be for democracy.
So you can arrest your political opponents.
You can arrest your political opponents.
You can also tell your party who they can and cannot vote for, or who they can even have on a debate stage.
Wow.
And they talk about being tolerant, except they're intolerant if you don't agree to their orthodoxy.
But hang on, if you're tolerant, then you'd like to have a competition with Robert Kennedy Jr.
You'd have a debate, wouldn't you?
You would think.
I mean, if you're a democratic party.
Or for democracy.
Is that the name of their party?
I just call it Democrat.
They don't get the ick.
They're not democratic.
They are icky, but they don't get the ick.
All right.
Let's talk about what you said in the break.
I love this.
You said, it's a done deal.
Talk about our side and talk about the fact, I don't get it.
This just kind of blows my mind.
This is the governor of Florida who is attacking our old boss from the right on an issue, which I don't, I don't get it.
Cut to.
You mentioned abortion.
Do you feel the former president's going soft then on abortion a little bit, especially in this area that you mentioned earlier?
Well, I think so.
I mean, I was really surprised because he's a Florida resident.
And I thought he would compliment the fact, you know, that we were able to do the heartbeat bill, which pro-lifers have wanted for a long time.
He never complimented, never said anything about it.
So, I'm glad that now he knows the president is a Florida resident.
Because after the Alvin Bragg indictment, he said, well, I'm not going to get involved.
But I guess back then he didn't know Mar-a-Lago is in Florida.
Maybe somebody should have shown him where Mar-a-Lago is.
Right.
It's kind of historic.
Yeah, it's a beautiful bit.
He should know where Mar-a-Lago is.
And then secondly, President Trump is soft on abortion.
Look, I'm a Catholic.
I didn't believe, I didn't think in my lifetime Roe v. Wade would be next.
Why was it next?
Because a certain president put three associate justices on the court who struck it down.
Do you understand what's going on in this campaign?
I don't understand what DeSantis is doing.
No, the challenge is for any of these candidates who are not named Trump, is that you have to take down the king and you have to actually, if you were successful, and I'm not saying they would be, but if they are successful, then you have to turn around and ask for those same supporters to now support you in a general election.
It's an uphill climb bigger than multiple Mount Everest.
But there's no way to do it based upon policy.
You can say, I won't do mean tweets, but is that a good enough reason to elect somebody?
Because if you look at, take COVID out of it, take the Chinese assault, you've got strongest economy, closed border, ISIS nullified, lowest unemployment record, you know, for minorities, for women.
So even if you are, what are you going to campaign on outside of the Trump campaign?
I don't get it.
What can you?
What, no mean tweets?
But what if you don't have one?
tweets? Right, you're going to campaign on personality. But what if you don't have one?
Huge!
Well then that's a problem. That's a problem for any of them. So that's where this campaign
has to be fought in the general election. How they're going to do it, I don't think
it's possible. I mean the lead is so big right now. It's 30 plus on the RealClearPolitics
average. Which is an aggregate. Right, and I heard our good friend Boris in the previous
segment talking about, you know, there are polls out there now today showing him plus
And so, I mean, these are insurmountable odds.
But can you explain that to me?
Because I don't get it, right?
I mean, 40 points is like historic.
You know why I support President Trump.
Why is it already such a historic lead a year out?
Is it the raid on Mar-a-Lago?
Is it Bragg?
Is it Miami?
What do you think has created this kind of Teflon-coated support base?
Well, I think first off it starts with the policies that you talked about.
People want them back.
We want them back.
We've seen what the result is now.
Now we want them back.
Then they see him as being the target.
And Donald Trump is brilliant in putting himself as they are doing against me to get to you.
And we can see this, whether it's targeting parents at school board meetings for not wanting their kids to be groomed by the teachers' unions, or at least having a say in what's going on in your kid's education, or that pro-life groups shouldn't be targeted, shouldn't be investigated.
We saw what they did under Obama, using the IRS to go after conservative, non-for-profit groups.
I mean, time and time again, you know, don't like their vaccine?
Lose your job.
Get censored.
Get canceled.
Any of those things.
So they see in Donald Trump that he is the statue for all of the ire of the left.
And they know that once they get to him, they're coming for the rest of us.
What do you think?
We're out of time, but what do you think of my prediction?
Every increasing attack, every increasing indictment is just going to make you more and more popular.
I'm going to give you one statement about what this election is.
Do the American people want more sleepy time tea that we have?
Do they want Donald Trump on decaf?
Or do they want America first and a big gulp?
Big gulp with a little shot of espresso in the M-A-R-C underscore lotta.

...
Here's looking at you, Snowflake.
America first.
And we didn't even get it to record any liners.
You know, we, Alex, we have to have like a button I can press here when I realize something very funny has happened on the show and you can have like a bada-bing or something because, Jeff, did you hear that when he said, when Mark said, if you're not going to, if you're going to go up against the president, The only thing you can do is do it on the basis of personality.
And without thinking I said, yeah, but the problem is if you don't have one, right?
Yes, I'd like that.
But that's when we need in your instant replay the Trump talking about DeSantis with the personality transplant.
Oh my gosh!
I know, but I just realized, I mean, this is his biggest problem.
If you don't have a personality and you can't disagree on his amazing policies, you're toast, aren't you?
Oh, because he's the only one that can win in the general, though.
That's the thing.
Oh, of course, because he's done that before, right?
Yeah, he's Trump without the baggage.
But he's won a many, he's won a general before.
Oh, that's all he does.
He's a winner.
Remember, that's his last name.
He said, just call him winner.
Oh, I can't help being so mean.
Is it mean?
Am I being mean, Eric?
Not at all.
You're not being mean enough, honestly.
Really?
To DeSantis, he deserves it.
Geoff, could you imagine if this was the Eric show?
Could you imagine this would be like three hours of Ron bashing?
I would like to hear that.
You think he should be a guest host?
That would be frightening.
Eric Uncensored.
Eric Uncensored.
What a frightening thought.
Okay.
Where did that hour go?
That's crazy!
We're having fun here but the stakes are serious.
Please support President Trump because there is a Gestapo in America right now.
It's called the FBI.
80 years from Nazi Germany to America.
Send a message that you understand what they have become.
If Newt Gingrich Says two days ago they have to be dismantled.
You know it's true.
Get the Biden's Gestapo, the FBI t-shirt, the mug, and the jointly released with Chris Plant t-shirt, the FBI, the Fascist Bureau of Intimidation.
Get yours today.
And don't forget everything else.
My book's included at sebgorkastore.com.
That's S-E-B-G-O-R-K-A, sebgorkastore.com.
The latest news is that it's up to $30 million of bribes that Joe Biden himself received.
Let's get Jesse Ward as one of the few decent guys left at Fox.
His take, cut six.
Joe Biden's a money laundering operation for foreign nationals and American intelligence.
That's it.
He's an empty suit.
And he's the perfect president for this.
His age gives him an excuse to lay low.
He's a Democrat, so the press leaves him alone.
And he keeps the population distracted with nasty racial accusations and spends trillions of dollars.
And the Fed chair just keeps printing it.
Here's the real question.
If there are decent Democrats out there, And after my experience last night, I don't know how many there are, at least in this neck of the woods.
How long are you going to support this guy?
Is 30 million not enough?
Does it have to be 50, 60, 100 million in bribes?
At what point do you say, no?
When do you grow a spine?
When do you admit you have a soul?
I'm Sebastian Gorka.
One hour down.
Absolutely insane.
It's Friday.
It's Second Amendment Friday.
We've got an amazing guest.

This Hour of America First starts right now on Salem News Channel.
Welcome to the second hour of America First with me, Sebastian Gorka, your one-stop shop for all of the biggest
topics of the news cycle today, without the bias of the mainstream media or the censorship
of big tech, whether it's the culture war or educational indoctrination,
the immigration crisis or gun control, or the threats to the Second Amendment.
We have the true experts and the best guests on every subject.
Members of Congress, truth-tellers extraordinaire, warriors for the truth.
Stay tuned for the second hour of America First with me, your host, Sebastian Gorka, on the Salem News Channel.
The Doctor is in America first with Dr. Sebastian Gorka on Salem News Channel, the antidote to the mainstream media.
you the next one.
This is Second Amendment Friday on America First with Dr. G. Welcome back, dear friends.
That first hour, I don't know, is it just Fridays or is it when it's just too many amazing guests, incredible topics and stories?
Did you enjoy that story in the monologue, what happened at that Democrat event my wife and I went to yesterday?
It's interesting to get a glimpse inside the belly of the beast.
But it is Friday, which means it's Second Amendment Friday, and I thank the good Lord every single day that America remains, for the time being, the freest nation on God's green earth.
And we remain free because of what?
Because of the right to keep and bear arms.
No other company in America personifies that right more than the Carr Firearms Group.
Their story is the American dream and their products are absolutely second to none.
Car Firearms is your source for high quality weapons.
I carry a 9mm car every day.
Go to KAHR.com.
Check out also their iconic line.
They own the Desert Eagle brand as well as the Auto Ordnance.
The home of the M1.
The historic Tommy gun and the legendary 1911.
Not just the regular GI issue, but also the custom one.
Yeah, the Trump one.
You have to see this weapon.
It is absolutely unbelievable.
I have handled it myself.
It has the president on the slide, the presidential seal.
It is a very short run of weapons.
You can purchase one right now.
Go to galleryofguns.com for your Trump One.
That's galleryofguns.com and put in a little search box on the website Trump One to see if they have any of the Trump One Custom 1911 left.
Alright, we have a couple of amazing cuts to share with you before our next guest.
One of the few people, decent people, like Jesse Ward is left at Fox is Greg Gutfeld.
Great sense of humor but sometimes He gets a little serious, especially when he thinks of what happened to us for two years under that diminutive little fascist called Fauci.
Play cut!
I used to wince at the hyperbole that often would come from Jesse about Fauci.
But this guy deserves serious criminal charges.
I mean, when you listen to that and you think about what could have been done, But wasn't done because maybe we were chasing false flags or some other thing.
And meanwhile, we've had to believe we had to tell ourselves this was just merely a coincidence, right?
The first people to come down with COVID were scientists in a lab.
Just another coincidence.
There needs to be a reckoning because he wrecked so many lives.
I say put him away for life.
Greg Gutfeld is saying put Fauci away for life.
That's an interesting idea.
We might have to make that our newest survey on our website.
Right now, the question is a simple one.
Do you support President Trump even more after the Miami indictment?
Go to SebGorker.com and give us your answer.
That's S-E-B-G-O-R-K-E-R, SebGorker.com.
But now, no time for a monologue.
I bumped into this chap.
Hey Sebastian, how are you?
Uh, a little busy.
Listen, we're trying to let the people know what's going on in this country.
Congressman, welcome to America First.
Hey Sebastian, how are you?
I just saw you on Fox News.
You're a busy man.
A little busy.
Listen, we're trying to let the people know what's going on in this country.
So you know, it requires a little bit of extra effort.
Well we appreciate it, especially when you give me like a sanity check.
So I was, I went to Congress for a hearing on Wednesday.
A friend of ours, Dr. Miriam Grossman, was testifying on why doing puberty-blocking medicine and mutilating young children in the name of transgenderism is not medically justified.
I haven't even discussed with my listeners yet, because it's been such a crazy week, what I witnessed there.
But it was horrifying, it was shocking from your Democrat colleagues.
Two of your Republican colleagues got it on the Commerce Committee.
But as I was leaving, you could probably see the steam emanating from my ears, I bumped into you and I had a very serious question to ask you.
I took a little selfie as well.
And I'd like you to share your answer with the millions of people listening to us right now, Congressman Donalds.
Are there any normal people on the other side?
Because I saw a vice chairman of that committee, a democrat, on the C-SPAN cameras, and I was like 25 feet away from her, say the following, say that two-year-olds, two-year-olds could need transgender transitioning treatment.
And I just thought, what planet do I live on?
Are these people all extremists, congressmen?
I think there are probably 10 or 20 sane Democrats.
We don't agree on the outcomes of different policies, but they're largely sane.
The problem is that the left side of their party is so crazy, they have to just be quiet.
If they speak against these things that you and I and every other person thinks is just insanity, and you start talking about normal stuff, If they say that publicly, they'll get primaried.
Like, I'm not kidding.
They will get primaried.
You'll have the nutty transgender community really say, this person has to go, they're not being tolerant, so on and so forth.
And they'll get, they'll be in a bad situation.
That's why they're mostly quiet on this stuff.
They say it to me on the side, though.
They're like, Byron, this stuff is crazy.
Really?
Yeah.
Yeah.
They say, listen, they will tell me, Byron, this stuff is crazy.
I'm like, this is your party.
Do something about it.
But where does it end?
I mean, where does it end?
Because we just saw a few days ago, and I know you're a man of God.
I know you believe in the things that made America great.
I mean, just look at your Twitter bio and you get who this man is.
But to see not the gay pride flag, which is a theft of the Christian rainbow.
But to see the transgender, you know, the mutilation of children flag, in pole position, hanging from the White House, subordinating the Stars and Stripes, Byron, there's nothing left!
I think that's outrageous.
As a country, as a government, the only flag we should fly is the American flag.
Period.
Full stop.
End of story.
There's a couple of members on the Republican side who have bills about this now, and it's funny that we have to file bills based upon this, but it's the only flag that should fly.
This complete insanity from the Democrats about embracing this transgender You know, stuff in kids is nuts to me.
And I'm very clear on this.
Look, if you're 22 years old and you decide you want to augment your body, you're an adult.
Do what you want.
That's your business.
But if you try to get kids to do this stuff, taking puberty blockers, things that will have massive ramifications to the biology that they were created with.
that they will have to deal with for the rest of their lives, that is child abuse.
Yeah.
And I will never support that.
And for people in the transgender community who say, well, then you don't support them,
then they're not serious people in my opinion.
Let kids be kids, let their parents raise them, but if you have doctors that are going
to subscribe blockers to a 12-year-old, absolutely not.
And I think governments should stand in the way of letting that stuff happen.
If you in your mature mind, like 21, 22, 23, 25, you want to spend your own money to do that stuff, Be my guest.
Do what you feel.
I'm not going to stop you, even though I think it's wrong.
Yeah, if a 12-year-old can't get a tattoo, they shouldn't be having their breasts removed.
It's just pure insanity.
Donalds.house.gov is the website.
Social media, it's at Byron Donalds.
In the last couple of minutes we have left, what is your prediction for the year ahead?
Because every day there's another piece of evidence.
In the last 36 hours, Chairman Comer has said it's not $5 million, it's between $20 and $30 million they have proof of was paid into the Biden coffers from foreign agents, from foreign interests.
Is there a point at which you think your Democrat colleagues are just going to say Joe can't be the guy for 2024?
No, I don't think so.
Really?
I think the reason why, I'm just telling you, I don't think they're going to do that.
Wow.
And the reason, there's a couple reasons why.
Number one, the media is going to continue to cover for him.
And the only thing that's going to change that is if we have his voice accepting them saying, yeah, pay me the money, or you have a transaction showing, okay, this is the money I need.
That's the only thing that's going to have them do an about face.
But until then, they're just going to ignore this story.
And if you notice, the big media, they're not really reporting on it and trashing Republicans.
They're just ignoring it.
Yeah.
And that's how bad this story is for them.
I think that's the only thing that's really going to change this.
Yeah.
It's like my friend Chris Plant says, it's one of the most insidious powers the media has, is actually to ignore and to bury stories.
Thank you, Congressman Donalds, for making time for us on this Friday and giving us a sanity check with what is happening.

Biden just ended his speech in Connecticut saying, God save the Queen.
No, that's gotta be a joke.
No, it's true.
You want it?
Yeah.
It's gotta be a joke.
And then he wanted to know which way to leave the stage.
Was he addressing, like, a British delegation or something?
No, he was all over the place.
Yeah.
Yeah, that.
I'm sending a photograph of Maloney.
Yep.
Maloney.
Maloney.
She's so good.
Alright.
Oh, thanks.
I forgot.
You want that clip or no?
Yes, I do.
Alright, Eric, grab it.
We're doing three conferences in a row.
We're doing two days in Italy, then we're going to do a conference in Budapest, and then we're going to do a conference in... This is all work, right?
It is all work.
So we went to Israel last year with our listeners.
They wanted us back for the next trip, but no, we said we're going to Italy.
So we're going to do Siena, Rome, next year.
My Italian database has blown up since we were there last time.
And Athens too.
Who are you working with?
The think tank is called the Machiavellian Center.
Really?
Wow.
That's our main squeeze.
We've got a lot of contacts in the government.
There's one really great journalist, his name's Stefano.
We do an op-ed together.
They're all conservatives.
What's his last name?
Graziano.
Grazio.
I sent you two images that we're going to talk about with Jim.
Then tonight for Newsmax, do you want Biden to said, My dad used to say the worst abuse of all was the abuse of power.
Yes.
No, I don't.
Who cares what he said?
Can I see the new cut?
Jeff, is it ready?
Playback one, go.
Alright.
God save the Queen, man.
Was he talking about Dylan Maldonado?
Where is that?
Connecticut.
There was a speech in Philadelphia.
Connecticut.
Oh.
Oh.
Unbelievable.
Queenstown.
I thought he was giving a campaign speech in Philadelphia.
Alright, Angel Tree.
And I'm just going to read no audio.
What was the other thing we were going to talk about?
Uh, G and... Uh, G and Gates.
And Maloney.
Maloney and Alon.
And what else is going on?
Uh, you went to the cyber thing?
Oh, cyber, cyber, cyber, cyber.
It's not much to say, cause we're... Well, there's a theory I'll run past.
Sure.
I'll just sit here a little.
Oh my god, that thing weighs a ton.
Jesus.
Yeah, it's supposed to be for training.
It's supposed to have the same weight.
Wait, really?
So an AK really weighs that much?
Jesus.
An MP5.
30 seconds.
Oh, it's... Oh, whatever.
Do you want to come in with that cut?
No, I would have teed up.
Alright.
You You
America first Mega-nificent.
There will be a point in time where I'm just gonna say to my producer, no, that's a deep fake you've been had.
Because I'm sorry, what he just heard the current resident of the White House say at an event in Connecticut cannot be real.
Play cut.
Alright.
God save the Queen, man.
**Applause** **Music**
Just play it again.
Alright.
God save the Queen, man.
Thank you.
He's standing at a podium that says, because there's a great seal on the front of it,
President of the United States.
And he says, God save the Queen.
It's not like he went to the funeral, okay?
She's dead, by the way.
Jill went.
You didn't go.
What?
What?
Oh my god.
And if you're not watching us, he didn't know which way to leave the stage.
He pointed out this way or that way and then some intern has to take him off the stage.
Oh my good lord.
All right, let's do something important instead.
It is the last day.
Last day.
If you have went to do this and you didn't, this is your last chance.
This is the late, great Chuck Colson's Prison Fellowship Program.
This is the summer camp for children who've lost a mother or father to the parent system.
It is one of the most beautiful things you can do.
We've got 99 kids going to the camp from this show alone.
Will you make it 100?
Will you make it 102?
Will you make it 103?
It's 200 bucks per child.
Listen to what they say.
I have it right here in their handwriting what they say about this Christian summer camp for children who've lost a parent to the prison system.
To me, the prison fellowship camp is an oasis of spiritual nourishment.
Another child.
The prison fellowship is a friend in a friendless place.
Utterly beautiful.
You can be that person.
You can make a difference.
Please, please, please give as much as you can.
This is the last few hours of the program.
Call them 888-206-2794 or go to my website sebgorko.com and click on the Angel Tree banner.
website SebGorko.com and click on the Angel Tree banner that's 888-206-2794

All right it's Friday here He's back.
He's always gallivanting to exotic locales, but now he's here.
We've grabbed him in studio, the vice president of the Conservative Mothership, the Heritage Foundation.
He is Jim Carrafano.
Dr. Kernel!
Jim, welcome.
Hey, it is good to be with you.
So which one of the, I'll give you a choice, which one of these two rooms would you like to be in?
Would you like to be in the room right now where, it's private, nobody's allowed in, Bill Gates?
is meeting with the dictator of China, Xi Jinping.
Ricochet rabbit, as my friend Chris Plante says.
Or would you like to be in the room, these aren't private meetings, they're all over the Italian press, I saw it this morning, Elon Musk with Prime Minister Maloney of Italy.
Where would you like to be, James?
Well, you know, this actually says so much about the nature of American foreign policy, the leaders who are meeting it.
So, General Maloney, is the conservative leader of Italy.
She's done something unbelievable.
She has put together a conservative coalition that has literally flatlined the Italian left, right?
In a country where we're used to changing governments like socks, right?
She could actually be the leader for quite some time.
And she could actually, because you know they have this thing
called the European Parliament, which is all the member states
are like members to a European Parliament, and they also have political blocs in the Parliament,
it's quite possible that the conservatives could win the next election in the European Parliament.
In the European Parliament.
And she might actually become the de facto leader of the center-right conservative movement in all of Europe.
Oh, that's too funny.
And she would be very comfortable sitting down in Orlando, Florida, or Dallas, Texas, or... Or Mar-a-Lago.
Nashville.
Yeah, because she's a social conservative.
She believes in family.
Yes, families.
She is all in for Ukraine.
She is anti-Russian.
She is anti-Chinese.
Now, can I just stop you for a second?
Because one of the things that I, again, I thought was a deep fake.
It was like her second speech as Prime Minister.
Oh, yeah.
And she said, if you don't support Ukraine, you don't understand freedom.
And God bless her.
Yeah.
I mean, as a conservative, she did none of this stupid bio labs and Putin's a good guy.
She said, no, this is their freedom fight.
So here you have either, I don't know, the first or second richest man in the world who's an American meeting with the head of this government, which is a newfound anchor of American friendship and influence in Europe.
So there are things going well in Europe.
But they're not because of Joe Biden.
They're because of friends and allies in Europe who are pulling America forward to do good things.
This is actually true in Asia, if we want to flip over to the other side, right?
Great things with South Korea.
Great things with Australia.
Great things with Japan.
Tremendous things with India.
The Indian Prime Minister's coming here.
None of this has anything to do with Joe Biden.
Hang on, hang on, hang on.
But he did say God save the Queen.
Too late.
Instead, what is the epitome of Biden's leadership in the world is not where things go well because allies pull us into doing the right thing.
It's where Joe Biden does his own thing.
And here we have China, who's increasingly aggressive.
And the Biden response to that is to increasingly plead with them, please talk to me.
So this is, not a lot of people know this, this is really important, really true.
There are a whole bunch of measures, which bipartisan, Republican, Democrat, in the Congress, ban TikTok, you know, ban the land, you know, don't let the far outbound investment, you know.
Investigate COVID.
Right.
Right, right.
All of them are being held up by the White House.
And here's why.
So the Chinese will talk to us, right?
Just talk.
No concessions.
No, no, no.
Just actually pick up the phone.
We have to put on hold the challenge of China in order to ask China not to be challenging.
Now, how well do you think this is going to work?
Literally groveling with the Chinese because they're mad at us, right?
Because grappling with dictatorships always works.
Right.
And essentially having to make concessions for the privilege of talking to the Chinese.
So the useful idiot...
That's actually, that actually is Bill Gates' middle name, the Useful Idiot.
The man who has amassed this great fortune and has squandered it in so many ways.
He started a huge health care initiative, which actually in many parts of the world actually does as much harm as it does good.
He backs this climate change scam, which actually impoverishes the first people of the world.
So what does he do?
He goes there, right?
To China.
Right, as part of the American groveling experience, right?
And here is China saying, oh, look at my great friend Bill Gates, you know, Americans, you know, what's wrong with the US government?
Why can't they be great friends like Bill?
So even as American companies, as we speak, are pulling the plug on China right and left because of Chinese oppression and influence and meddling, right?
Bill Gates is there being a poster child for Xi.
And they're both probably bitching and moaning about America.
Bill Gates and Xi Jinping.
I wouldn't be surprised.
So could you see two greater contrasts of America and the world?
I love it.
Perfect.
At least Elon has been making all the right friends and all the right enemies in the last few months.

Wherever you are, whatever you're doing, don't touch that dial.
Joe?
We filmed 12 episodes and now we're in post.
We're just looking for a bit more funding because the angel funder passed away.
So we need about 400k, but we'll find it.
But I was on the phone with the head of streaming for Paramount and even she was like, interesting.
She said 12 episodes isn't enough, but let me show it to my team.
12 episodes is not enough?
Yeah, they want like 30 episodes.
I'm like, oh sorry.
It's like, I was in a studio for a year filming it, 12 episodes isn't enough.
That's a full season.
12 episodes is a full season.
It's an old full season, right?
Nowadays you can have 20, 30 episodes.
Really?
Oh my god.
No, it's true that they do binge and stuff.
I do that.
We just watched Daisy and the Six.
Oh, Dainsey Jones and the Six?
Oh, come on, seriously?
It's based on a novel, which is very loosely based on Fleetwood Mac.
So it's the rise of this band to greatness, right?
And then after they do their biggest concert ever, the band falls apart.
Elvis Presley's granddaughter.
She's actually quite good.
And she plays Nix?
Yeah, she plays the Stevie Nicks character.
And the two main characters, the guy who's kind of loosely based on Lindsey Buckingham and Stevie Nicks, they're both addicted, self-destructive people.
It's okay.
If you know the history of music and you know the history of Laurel Canyon and all that stuff.
Is this a Netflix thing or what?
It's on Amazon Prime.
If you know all that stuff, it's actually pretty good.
And music's good.
It's interesting.
And the funny thing is, Alexa, play Daisy Jones and the Sixth.
So if you actually tell Alexa to play Daisy Jones, they'll actually play music from the band, right?
Oh, funny.
And they must have just got some studio people to record it, but it's actually better
than it is on the day one.
Yeah, but it's, but like to your thing, I binge, so my wife and I was like,
you know, 10 episodes, basically three nights, you know, every night, boom, boom, boom,
and we're done, you know, and we're on to the next thing.
Yeah.
My son and I are watching Band of Brothers again.
You know what's funny?
Paramount Plus, right?
Which I bought to watch Yellowstone, which now we've been waiting, what, almost a year, right?
And I just realized the other day, I was like, why am I paying for this streaming service every month?
And it's like, I'm going to wait like another, they haven't even started filming this thing.
So I'm going to wait for a year.
I'm going to pay a year's worth of streaming for a show that I could just wait.
And, you know, so anyway, I have to clean up my, That's why I have a library of DVDs and I said you never
know what they're going to do with the classics.
I love DVDs.
My wife doesn't let me watch them because she hates all my movies.
You know what I watched yesterday?
Because this was really interesting and this is well worth doing.
The original Last of the Mohicans, 1936 with Randolph Scott.
Wow.
Is it black and white?
Black and white.
How is it?
It's not a bad film, it's really interesting.
The differences between that and the 1992 film are really fascinating.
And the other thing is just how far movie making has come, right?
I mean if you watch the 36 thing and compare that, because the 1992 film is really lush.
Doctor G is ready for anything on America First.
We've got to record these things we chat about in the breaks.
We're talking movies.
I just started watching The Son of Frankenstein.
Basil Rathbone, okay?
Sherlock Holmes is the son of Victor Frankenstein with Bela Lugosi.
Dracula is Igor.

It's Friday.
We have to continue.
National security.
Where did we leave things?
We left things.
We're going to discuss cyber.
Was there something else?
We're in cyber.
But to get the really important stuff out of the way.
Basil Rathbone.
So this is Universal Studios, which in the 30s and 40s kind of owned the horror genre, and Frankenstein, Dracula, and they made dozens of these films, but the iconic Frankenstein films are obviously the first two by James Whelan.
The second, which is Bride of Frankenstein, much better film.
And really and a true classic although visually the first one is amazing with it with that with the lightning moment It's like yeah, but but the second still I but what's it?
But what's really interesting is the national security aspect?
No, no is the third film which is son of Frankenstein which which nobody really pays attention to but it actually is quite a good film and Basil Rathbone at his height was a really a great film and and Bela Lugosi's thing So it's really worthwhile actually watching so and I think doesn't a wolf man make like he does right?
Not in that one, but you know the funny thing is that they offered Lugosi the Frankenstein.
He said he didn't want to do it.
Alright, can we talk about other things?
Okay, fine.
We'll have a movie hour with Jeff, okay?
Follow J.J.
Carrafano on Twitter.
Let me run a theory past you that my buddy Dan Bongino has been talking about for like three days.
He says this is when China is going to go to war.
He even thinks the cyber thing is connected to China.
When we are arresting former presidents, When the House says they have evidence of 20-30 million dollars being paid in bribes to the incumbent president, this is when bad guys strike.
Does that go into the calculation of countries like Beijing?
Yeah, except the problem is they never actually do.
do. Right? So why? Well, because they fear America, right?
And this is the whole point.
Nobody tried to say America is weak and distracted and led by stupidity more than Vladimir Putin.
And so we invaded Ukraine. And what happened? It wasn't Joe Biden, right?
Because Biden was trying to get Zelensky to fly out of there.
But the Ukrainians fought, the Europeans fought.
Well, the Brits said, we'll help you.
The Americans said, oh, OK.
OK, we'll come to the party.
And this is the problem, is when America is roused, this is such a former... Ask Bin Laden how that went for him.
But you don't think Beijing could make the same mistake that Putin made?
I mean, I don't know.
They just had a lesson in that.
So, ironically, it happens more by accident than by intent.
I'll give you the best example of this, which is the hostage-taking in Iran under Jimmy Carter, which literally flatlined, as if he needed help, right?
Flatlined Jimmy Carter's presidency.
That was not the Ayatollah's giant scheme, right?
No.
The government took advantage of it and then they realized like, oh my god, look, we're sinking the American presidency.
So very rarely do we see it.
So I don't think that's actually...
I don't think that's... So what are they thinking?
How about this?
How about flipping it?
What does a Beijing, what does a Putin, what does a Pyongyang think when for the first time in American history an incumbent regime arrests the president who is leading the opposition?
Well, you know, we've seen Watergate, you know, we've seen... Yeah, but we've never arrested a president.
Well, he's actually not actually the president, right?
No, no, no, but he's the leader of the opposition, let's say.
Right, okay, but he's not running the country.
You know, even if they elected Joe Biden, what would happen?
Well, Kamala Harris would be the president the next day and then I'd be really scared.
But again, you know, we just don't see it done that way, right?
And for the good reason that America is a very resilient society and people have to take that into account.
The cyber thing is interesting, right?
But it kind of misses the point.
Why?
We get cyberattacked every freaking day in this country and we've actually had, this one is disturbing because it's widespread and large and has hit a lot of companies and stuff, but we've actually had major cyberattacks against US government systems that were more damaging in this country and the question is, they happen on Tuesday, right?
So since they happen all the time, it could happen.
If I'm going to attack America on a big cyber attack, yeah.
But the question is, we would only know that once the Pearl Harbor happened.
Are you traveling next week?
I am.
And the week after.
Oh my gosh.
All right.
In that case, the next time he's on, Jeff, he's going to be in studio for an hour.
Are you going to do that?
Sure.

The man himself behind Carl Firearms.
Justin Moon!
Welcome back to America First!
Hello, Sebastian.
It's good to see you again.
Thanks for having me on.
I always enjoy our conversations.
It looks like you're coming off a duck blind.
It looks like you're in the tall reeds there.
Are you on a hunting trip, Justin?
I'm sitting on my porch, actually, in Tennessee.
Fabulous, fabulous.
All right, well, we can talk about guns, we can talk about our secret plans to create a MAGA Magnum, but maybe, maybe later.
First things first, for those who aren't familiar with your story and your family's story, I think this clip from President Trump in Bedminster on Was it Tuesday?
It was.
It was Tuesday.
I was there in Bedminst.
It's been a crazy week.
I think this cut of all will resonate with you.
This is the president after coming back from his arraignment in Miami.
Cut 10.
If the communists get away with this, It won't stop with me.
They will not hesitate to ramp up their persecution of Christians, pro-life activists, parents attending school board meetings, and even future Republican candidates, which they do.
We must end it permanently, and we must end it immediately.
Now that the seal, so important, is broken.
The seal is broken by what they've done.
They should never have done this.
The seal that was broken was, of course, an incumbent president arresting the leader of the opposition.
And he used the word, the Communists must be stopped.
When I first arrived in America 15 years ago, I used to make fun of my fellow conservatives who said, Communism is here.
I don't do that anymore.
President Trump is right.
But you have a very special perspective on the threat to America and to our Second Amendment rights.
Correct, Justin?
Yes, absolutely.
My dad was in a communist concentration camp for three years in North Korea, freed by General MacArthur.
And you know, right now President Trump is absolutely right.
We are in the midst of a communist takeover of our government.
And we have to understand that every communist revolution has what you call the dictatorship of the proletariat, where they actually identify people who they consider to be enemies of the state or enemies of the communist revolution And they systematically go about ways to marginalize, disenfranchise, impoverish, and ultimately genocide.
Genocide has always been part of the communist program.
Yeah, yeah.
What is your message?
So you revolutionized the concealed carry firearms world when you were in college.
You said, I'm going to make a powerful weapon, a small weapon that's the envelope of the PPK, but it actually fires a 9mm cartridge, not a 9mm short, not a .380.
You've gone on to develop that into a whole line of weapons.
Then you add to that the Desert Eagle line as well, the historic auto-ordinance, which are all, you know, self-defense or sporting weapons.
But what is your message to those listening?
You're talking to three and a half million people now, Mr. Moon.
Who say, you know, it's about, you know, sporting, it's about duck hunting, it's about, you know, whitetail season.
It's not about politics.
I don't do politics.
If you own a gun, don't you have to do politics, Mr. Moon?
You're absolutely right, Sebastian.
I mean, our Founding Fathers made the Second Amendment not for hunting or even self-defense.
It was created As a defense of the people against a tyrannical government, like we see today, we have seen our our republic die.
The president in power has used the power of the state to unjustly arraign, indict, arrest the main opposition candidate to him.
So we are in a dictatorship, so to speak.
Have you, I mean, I don't know, how many years have you been running car firearms?
When did you found it?
Well, I started it after I graduated from college and so that includes the development period to develop my pistol.
I set up the corporation in 93 and I introduced to market and started delivering product in 95.
I've been running this company almost 30 years now.
In those 30 years, we see these cycles come and go, assault weapons ban, Clinton this, Clinton that.
But this time, it's not business as usual.
This time, it's qualitatively different, isn't it, in terms of the political threat?
We've never seen a time like this in our American history.
I mean, we've had We've had situations where executive power got really too big and a lot of people called it a dictatorial power, but never has the executive gone after and arrested the leading minority party candidate.
And especially such trumped up charges.
I mean, President Trump was the President of the United States.
He was the executive.
And so it's really not possible for him to take Be guilty of taking classified documents because he decides what's classified and what's not.
And the Presidential Records Act says he can take whatever he wants and deem it part of his presidential record.
Yeah.
Sadly, you're being logical.
Logic does not apply when we are talking about extremists and communists.

you you
you I know the man and I know the violent extremist movement he
has fomented.
And we're seeing that show on rerun.
We had moderate Republicans tell us Trump probably won't run again.
If he does, he won't lead the pack.
No, they were wrong.
He is running for president again, despite The safety standpoint is, what will he do if he loses?
What will he do if he loses these court cases or if he loses his next bid to the presidency?
That's why we haven't seen violence yet is because Trump and his supporters still think
he's in the fight, still think he has a chance to win these cases and win the election.
The moment that he loses, like in 2020, Donald Trump will see his last resort being his violent
supporters.
So if I was still in law enforcement at the Department of Homeland Security, I would be
saying to our people, prepare for another January 6th level event.
Bye.
Dude, you were never in law enforcement.
You carried the coffee at DHS.
Jeff, was that a leather jacket Miles Taylor was wearing?
I was about to say, he's doing the Gene Comey look.
He is, isn't he?
A lot of hair product, he's got the leather jacket.
When I was in law enforcement, dude, you were nobody.
Except when you wrote that letter anonymous because you didn't have the balls to put your name to that letter.
Another cat.
What did I say?
They're all cowards.
They're all stinking cowards.
Somebody who isn't is my former colleague at Fox.
He's just dropped episode four of his show on Twitter.
Here's a little clip if you missed it.
Cut nine.
On Tuesday afternoon, the Biden administration had Donald Trump arrested.
It was a pretty big news story.
You may have seen it.
Just before 9 p.m.
that night, as part of its coverage, Fox News ran two live video feeds next to one another.
On the right, Donald Trump addressed his supporters in New Jersey.
On the left, Joe Biden spoke at an event for the Secretary General of NATO in Washington.
Beneath those videos, at the bottom of the screen, Fox's banner read this way, quote, Those words are up for less than 30 seconds, but the effect was immediate.
Inside Fox, the women who run the network panicked.
First, they scolded the producer who put the banner on the screen.
Less than 24 hours after that, he resigned.
He'd been at Fox for more than a decade.
He was considered one of the most capable people in the building.
He offered to stay for the customary two weeks, but Fox told him to clear out his desk and leave immediately.
Then the company issued a public apology for the 27-second-long wannabe dictator line.
Quote, the chyron was taken down immediately, Fox's PR department said,
and then added ominously it was, quote, addressed.
The person who was fired, the problem that was addressed, was Alexander McCaskill.
I love, you know the best line in that?
The women in charge of Fox.
Suzie, he's talking about you!
God, you're such a bunch of, again, fakers, cowards, people who hate America and the American people.
But not at Newsmax!
That's a segue!
What am I doing tonight at 7 o'clock, Mr. Eric?
You are guest hosting the one and only Rob Schmidt Show.
Yeah, I am.

Jeff has lined up some incredible guests.

Come with me if you want to live.
Oh Oh my gosh, that's the way you reprise a line from a kind of guerrilla movie to the sequel that was an absolute blockbuster, infected, influenced so many other movies.
Come with me if you want to live.
Now I'm the good guy.
I'm not the Terminator.
I'm the savior.
Hmm, is it really that good?
Let's ask the man who chose our double, Bill.
It's been a while, Chris Coles.
Mr. Reagan, we've missed you here at America First.
Well, I've missed you guys.
And you know what?
This was a great movie to come back to.
It was sort of like a cliffhanger, right?
We saw the first film and now we're seeing the second film.
And this is, you know, this is considered one of the greatest movies of all time, I think, for a reason.
It's weird because when I was a kid, I didn't love this film so much.
Uh, because it was so dark and it was really quite terrifying.
But rewatching it, you realize some things.
You realize just how perfect this movie was.
And I actually think that this film, having seen Terminator and then Terminator 2 back to back, I think this film is James Cameron perfecting his original movie, really.
This is kind of like the first movie perfected, I feel like.
Yeah, I mean, this was only... I'm sorry, the original Terminator was only the second movie Cameron had ever made.
He'd just been fired off What was it, Piranha 2 or something?
And he'd been an effects guy, he'd been a, you know, behind-the-scenes guy for Roger Corman for years, as so many other, you know, great, great actors and artists have been.
So yeah, I think he didn't have enough money, was very limited in terms of time as well on the original one, and now he had the money, now he had the time, and it's many years later that the movie was made, 1991.
Chris, I'm gonna need your assistance now.
I don't know what medical training you've had, but... I watched this film, and I'm like...
I didn't come away enthused.
I didn't come away... Really?
Yeah.
And I don't know if it's because what happened in the news in the last week.
I don't know whether it's distractions in politics and, you know, the real end of the world.
The Democrats' Skynet being forced into, you know, hyperdrive.
But I need you to walk me through why this is such a good movie.
For me, I compare it to the first one.
The first one is just It's so down and dirty and has such heart.
This is a Hollywood production.
The first one is a James Cameron guerrilla movie on a shoestring filmed at night because they had no money.
This is a Hollywood movie.
Walk me back to my love of this original movie.
Well, I'll tell you what.
The original film did something really smart in that they cast Arnold Schwarzenegger as this iconic Villain.
Yeah.
He becomes this iconic villain.
The film does incredibly well.
But as you know, James Cameron never wanted the villain to be a big, iconic character.
He wanted him to be more, um, surreptitious.
Yes, a cypher, an everyman.
Right, to be able to blend in, and that's exactly what you get in Terminator 2.
The more advanced Terminator is able to blend in, and in a way that is anything, you know, far beyond anything he had conceived of for the first film, because there's a shape shifter.
can take on anybody's appearance, take on anybody's voice.
And this actor that they chose was so menacing.
I would say he's even scarier, at least to me when I was a kid, he was scarier in this
film than Terminator was in the first film.
There's just something about him.
There's an aspect to Robert Patrick that they talk about how, you know, when he's on the
hunt on the prowl, he looks like he's a Terminator.
You know, he's sensing everything.
He's kind of robotic.
And then, when he knocks on, you know, John Connor's foster parents' door, he just turns on the charm, and he's Mr. Smiles and Mr. Big Teeth.
Oh, no, no, no.
Your son's not in trouble.
It's that... It's that... That always creeps people out.
The facility to very quickly change and dissemble into another frequency.
He deli... Robert Patrick, who I think he'd been seen as a cop, In Die Hard 2, he was not a known name.
He hadn't had the big success of the unit that came later on.
They wanted somebody people didn't recognize, but he sells it, doesn't he?
Yeah, and I think a lot of it has to do with just the relentless pursuit.
You had that in the first movie, for sure.
But this one, it's almost, it's kind of perfected.
Right?
Everything they do is with this perfect efficiency.
I think that's the word for it.
They figured out in the first movie that everything a robot would do would be the most efficient way to do something.
There's this brilliant moment where the Terminator, the second Terminator, T-1000, is in a semi-truck.
Not this semi-truck that we're seeing on the screen now, but a little bit later in the film.
The one full of the freezing liquid.
Exactly right.
Yeah, yeah.
Just before he gets frozen.
And he's chasing this very small pickup truck.
And Arnold Schwarzenegger says something like, this is the top speed limit that this vehicle is capable of.
And the semi truck keeps bashing into them.
And it's obvious that he's going to catch up and kill them.
And so, you know, Schwarzenegger's Terminator pulls out this Grenade launcher, and he's blasting this truck.
That's not working.
So he grabs a machine gun, and he doesn't just shoot from the side of the truck, because at this point, the semi-truck's bumped right up against the pickup truck.
So he walks to the back of the truck, he walks up onto the semi-truck, and he just holds the roof of the semi-truck and just starts blasting T-1000 point-blank.
And I'm just thinking, yes!
That is precisely what a machine would do, because it wants to do this in the most efficient of fashion possible. They worked that out.
Everything must be done as efficiently as possible and I think that's what
makes the action sequences so perfect because they're terrifyingly efficient.
Yeah, credit goes to this man for all his other issues.
There are complaints about him from those who work with him.
But this guy, James Cameron, storyboards literally every frame of the movie.
Not only that, he builds models of everything.
And he works out the camera angles.
He built a model of the ironworks, right?
A little model.
And then he went through with a little scope to say, OK, this is the right camera angle.
And that's why.
Credit where credit is due.
The stunts.
Not only the special effects, but the stunt work in this movie.
Absolutely flipping top-notch stuff.
All right, I'm getting back.
I'm coming back.
Yes, indeed, it is a great movie.
We are doing the second half of our double bill.
It is Terminator 2 Judgment Day.
An absolute classic.

No!
Put the gun down now!
Get out of here!
Come on, guys!
Split!
Come on!
Jesus, you're gonna kill that guy!
Of course.
I'm a Terminator.
Listen to me very carefully, okay?
You're not a Terminator anymore, all right?
You got that?
You just can't go around killing people!
Why?
What do you mean, why?
Because you can't!
Why?
Because you just can't, okay?
Trust me on this.
Sounds like the president of Planned Parenthood.
Why can't you go around killing babies?
You just can't.
Why?
Why?
Yeah, why?
I can kill babies.
That is, of course, the iconic Terminator 2.
All right, let's start looking at some of the performances we have here, Chris.
Edward Furlong hadn't acted before.
They'd interviewed lots of kid actors who just, according to the casting director, Weren't tough.
They tried to act tough.
Nobody believed them.
She goes to the Pasadena Boys Club and sees this kid furlong standing against the wall by the swimming pool and says, would you like to act in the next Terminator?
And he goes, what are you talking about, you crazy woman?
He doesn't do well in the first audition, goes away, gets some acting classes, comes back.
And you know, child actors can often Ruin a movie very often, but not too bad, isn't it?
Not too bad.
No, he's great.
I have a friend who just will not watch movies with kids in them.
He finds them to be super annoying.
He particularly finds the kid who's like smarter than all the adults, that whole trope, very annoying.
It's funny, I've been in the room when you have a bunch of kids auditioning for roles before out here in Hollywood, and I've acted with some children before.
It's a bit fun sometimes because You know, they're kids.
They're kids.
They want to run around and push you and punch you, and they're crazy.
Kids are crazy.
But they're very honest.
You know, kids are very honest.
But kids that are kid actors, they're kind of trained to be very phony.
It's really a weird thing.
Like, kids come in and they go, Hi, everybody!
I'm a kid!
Oh, the kind of Disney kid, right?
Exactly.
Exactly.
They're all like that.
It's really creepy and weird, actually.
But if you're ever in a kid audition, But this kid doesn't act like that.
He acts kind of like my buddy when I was growing up.
I had a buddy who was like a counterculture kid, and he kind of has this attitude.
His voice breaking is probably annoying to adults, but I was 11 when this movie came out, so to me, this kid was probably about my age, something like that.
And yeah, he worked for me in my head when I was younger.
It worked because he's vulnerable.
You know, he's a child.
And so this Terminator, he can't really fight back against him.
At no point is he shooting guns.
He's reloading the guns for everybody else, which makes a lot, a lot of sense, a lot more sense than, you know, what they would do in a movie today, probably.
He does a perfect job.
And I think actually the entire, you know, we talked a little bit about the T-1000, the casting of the T-1000.
That's what, that's originally what Cameron wanted for the original Terminator.
Right.
And it just works so well.
Obviously Linda Hamilton has come back and she really works as a badass.
Yeah.
You kind of wouldn't expect it from the first film.
She went through intensive training Three hours a day for six days a week in the gym, weapons handling.
There's footage of her online, grainy footage of her firing fully automatic weapons at the range.
I mean, her alacrity, her capacity to reload these weapons on the fly.
Yeah.
An intimidating small woman, wouldn't you say?
Oh yeah, yeah.
She really works.
I don't know what she did for this part, but she looks the part.
Like, her musculature is good.
It's not overbearing.
It's not like, you know, Schwarzenegger-esque.
Right.
But she looks tough.
She looks like she can handle herself.
I got a friend like her, actually, and my friend is kind of scary as well.
Everything about this is great.
The set pieces are great.
The props are great.
The production value is just incredible in this.
I think it's light years beyond anything else at the time.
And there is a weapons cache scene, which reminds me of a place that you and I visited when I was in Washington, D.C.
And I was like, oh, this reminds me of Sep Gorka.
Hey, hey, hey, that's classified.
Let's play that right now.
We have it.
Let's play the weapons cache scene, one of my favorites.
Her mom, his mom, she's always prepared, thinking ahead.
One thing about my mom...
She always plans ahead.
As he pulls down the rug from the three M60s that are on the wall and the M150 Cal heavy machine gun.
Yeah, there are three iconic scenes in movies of this ilk.
There's that one, the weapons cache under the ground in Mexico.
There is, of course, for a younger generation, the Matrix, I Need a Gun, and the gun room selection.
And for those of my generation, before this, the commando scene, where Arnold's daughter is kidnapped at the beginning of the movie, and he goes to his cabin in the woods, Presses the secret code on the door, opens, you know, secret door slides open and there is his armory.
So this is all, you know, boys stuff.
We love it.
And then some of us kind of...
May have emulated it in real life.
We are reviewing Terminator 2 Judgment Day.

This is making movies great again.
All right, she's escaped from the asylum, and now her estranged son realizes it's all true.
See, I spent a lot of time in Nicaragua and places like that.
For a while there, she was with this crazy ex-Green Beret guy, running guns.
Then there were some other guys.
She'd shack up with anybody she could learn from so she could teach me how to be this great military leader.
Then she gets busted.
And it's like, sorry kid, your mom's a psycho, didn't you know?
I hated her for that.
But everything she said was true.
She knew.
And nobody believed her.
Not even me.
That's pretty good acting.
I'm sorry.
I mean, that is some tough lines to pitch in a believable way.
And also, you made a very interesting comment before we went live, Chris.
You said what this movie's theme is really about.
Do you remember what you said?
Yeah, it is a father and son movie, really.
And what's really weird about that is that he's a machine.
And I don't normally like movies about robots and machines because They have no soul.
Uh, and, uh, I mean, Schwarzenegger recently said that he doesn't believe in heaven or God.
He thinks that's all fairy tales.
So that's a little bit disappointing.
And, uh, maybe he is more... You mean the guy who said, screw your freedom?
That guy?
Yeah, that guy.
Yeah.
Yeah.
So maybe he's more like the Terminator than we thought.
Uh, but, uh, but yeah, I don't know.
I, I never really liked, uh, the machine thing because it's, it's an illusion, right?
A machine that it looks like a human, a robot, Isn't really a human.
It's a machine.
It's sort of like an Xbox or a TV or a computer.
It's something that you use.
It's a tool.
But it's not actually got the same kind of heart that a human being can possibly have.
And he mentions that many times in the film.
The character mentions that.
But the kid still falls in love with him.
The kid still learns from him.
And he creates this bond.
And it is somewhat touching, even though, you know, you can have a bond with, like, children have bonds with, like, a baby blanket.
Yeah.
Or, you know, leftists have bonds with their masks, their COVID masks.
But, you know, so you can have a bond with an inanimate object, and that's never really explored in these kinds of projects.
It's just sort of played off as, like, this is human nature for us to bond with things that maybe we shouldn't.
But, you know, maybe that's something that we should we should explore in a movie sometime.
But it is something that is very touching because you know that this kid does, in fact, need a father.
And there's a little voiceover with Linda Hamilton where she talks about how, you know, despite the fact that this thing is a killing robot, maybe it is the best father for him after all.
And it is.
It's an interesting exploration of an idea.
Right, because she says he'd never get angry, he'd never leave him, so at least in that sense, he's a dependable father figure.
Right?
Yeah, yeah.
There's one part of being a father, I mentioned there's a video that's circulating about a trans man, right, it's really a woman with a beard, She's crying because she never realized being a man is so difficult and so lonely.
She's particularly horrified by how lonely being a man is.
And I just made a video about this coming out next week.
And I say in this video, look, that is what a man is.
At the end of the day, every other man, if all goes to hell and we're in Armageddon, we have to protect our family against every other man.
Our job is not to find people to cry with in the toilet.
That's right.
Our job is to defend our family.
And maybe there's three or four guys in your life that you meet and you go, you know what?
I would fight with this guy to the death.
But for the most part, every other man is a potential enemy.
We have to be cautious.
You know, can I take this guy out with my fists?
If not, can I take this guy out with a knife?
If not, can I take this?
Like, how do I take this guy out?
We're all, you know, sort of baseline enemies to some degree, and you just have to contend with that in life and navigate that.
And a woman can never understand that.
She'll never grow up to understand that.
This is so deep.
This is so deep.
We need a special episode of The Man Who Died just on that concept.
In three years, Cyberden will become the largest supplier of military computer systems.
All stealth bombers are upgraded with Cyberden computers becoming fully unmanned.
Afterwards, they fly with a perfect operational record.
The Skynet funding bill is passed.
The system goes online on August 4th, 1997.
Human decisions are removed from strategic defense.
Skynet begins to learn at a geometric rate.
It becomes self-aware at 2.14 a.m.
Eastern Time, August 29th.
In a panic, they try to pull the plug.
Skynet fights back.
Yes.
It launches its missiles against the targets in Russia.
Why attack Russia?
Aren't they our friends now?
Because Skynet knows that the Russian counter-attack will eliminate its enemies over here.
Jesus.
Exposition, the most dangerous part of any movie that can really, really make the viewing pleasure collapse for a couple of minutes.
But Arnie delivers there.
Chris, have you thought about the impact that this artifice, this artificial thing of, you know, Whatever it is an hour 50 minutes the impact it's had on us even today because it's what 33 years ago But now what's the big debate, you know artificial intelligence?
Are they going to take over this film?
It's kind of the genesis of you just say Scott you say Skynet and everybody knows what you're talking about Well, I'll tell you what, before just recently, I think people dismissed the concept of Terminator 2 as pure science fiction.
And this film was made in the 1990s, which is arguably one of the most safe times that most Americans lived through.
I mean, if you remember, there was a TV show called Star Trek The Next Generation, and that was a sci-fi based on, I would say, The comfort of suburban living in America in the 1990s.
Everybody was wearing, you know, pastels at that time and, uh, you know, enjoying this kind of like very, very safe, um, mild tempered reality.
And it just seemed like we were heading in the direction of a utopia.
But here's the problem with utopia.
Beautiful scene, by the way, where Arnold shows his robotic hand.
Amazing special effects.
Absolutely phenomenal scene.
This whole sequence is amazing.
With no CGI, by the way.
No CGI.
No, it's all practical effects.
They didn't even really... I mean, they had that for...
The T-1000, you know, they had computer effects for that, but they didn't have computer effects like we have today.
Anyway, they had this very peaceful time, and we didn't, I think that we were, we believed that we would go into a utopia like Star Trek The Next Generation.
I think that's how human beings, at least in America, at least that's what we thought the direction that we were going was.
But the problem with the utopia is that when people believe that they're safe, criminals see opportunity.
Right?
And that's what happened in Washington, D.C.
We had this... We believed that the government had our best interests at heart.
We believed that, okay, yes, George W. Bush, Bill Clinton, you know, George Bush Sr., Bill Clinton, all these guys, they were actually there to help us.
And maybe many people in the government may have been at that point there to help us.
Maybe the FBI were the good guys at that point.
But Then people who wanted power saw the opportunity, because we were all complacent.
We believed that we were safe.
And now we're in the situation we're in now, because the criminals, the corrupt politicians, the villainous people have seen the opportunity of the vulnerable Americans that believed they were safe, and they've taken advantage of those opportunities.
And now you have somebody like Elon Musk coming out and saying, listen, the people who design AI, you know, like I think it's Larry Page, the founder of Google.
They don't necessarily have our best interest at heart.
They are not necessarily going to design AI to protect humans.
They may design AI to destroy humans.
Yeah.
If you think the environment is at risk, if you think human beings are the problem, are the virus, then You are really bringing your A-game.
I thought we were going to have fun today.
This is deep stuff.
From the ultimate role... It's a philosophical movie.
You know, from the ultimate role of a man to protect and to deal with threats to this stuff.
Wow.
This is amazing.
Absolutely amazing.
We're going to have to have a separate non-movie review uh... al with you chris just to discuss the philosophical
points that you've raised right you mentioned this incredible seem to show it
of the uh...
the terminated the ogee terminated removing the flesh from his on to show
the robotic uh... skeleton underneath let's give a little bit of credit
to the man behind all of this stand winston the practical effects the man who
designed predator and so much else
uh... we have also the computer effects of the stunning t one thousand
defects that The moment, I don't, I mean, even today it holds up in the psych ward where the security officer walks over the linoleum floor and then the linoleum floor turns out to be the Terminator and then stands up into his form and then duplicates him.
I mean, just stunning.
Do you agree with me that these effects even hold up today, 33 years later?
Oh, absolutely.
And there are so many iconic moments, so many moments that you remember from this film.
And I haven't seen this in years.
In fact, the version that I got was some kind of an extended version.
What I ended up watching for this was an extended version.
I was like, what are all these extra scenes?
I was like a little bit annoyed.
That's the TV version.
They added the deleted scenes in the TV version.
It didn't detract really, but I wanted to see the theatrical release because that's what I had originally seen when I was a kid.
So this was kind of, it was kind of weird for me.
I'm like, okay, what, why is Kyle Reese in this movie?
Like he wasn't in the, I don't remember him in this movie.
Uh, but like, yeah, this, where the guy faces off with himself.
Fantastic.
The scene where, uh, Edward Furlong's, um, uh, foster mother kills the father, uh, foster father, because it's not actually... Do you recognize the foster mother?
Do you recognize the actress?
No, what else is she in?
Oh my gosh, dude!
She's Vasquez from Aliens!
No!
Yes!
Wow, her hair is so different!
She looks completely different!
She's the Jewish actress who played the Hispanic, tough, you know, kind of butch space marine who was, you know, doing the pull-ups in the spacecraft saying... You know, she's actually underrated because she's great in both of these movies.
She'll find something superb.
And very well acted when she's the T-1000 version of herself.
Alright, I'm getting into the movie now.
I'm back, I'm back guys.
It's Terminator 2 Judgment Day.
We're talking to my buddy Chris Coles.
He is the host of the Alpha Critic channel and also the Mr. Reagan channel on YouTube.

We don't want to be pulled over.
Affirmative.
No, no, no, no, no, no.
You've got to listen to the way people talk.
You don't say, affirmative.
You say, no problemo.
And if someone comes off to you with an attitude, you say, eat me.
And if you want to shine them on, it's hasta la vista, baby.
Hasta la vista, baby.
That's great.
See, you're getting it.
No problemo.
Hasta la vista, baby.
A little bit of an editing montage there from Eric.
We're giving a tribute to the effects at the end of the movie.
Still incredibly holed up today.
More than 30 years later, not just the nitrogen freezing of the T-1000 after the truck explodes, but also when he is melted in the iron foundry.
The computer graphics really hold up today as well.
Chris, the end of the movie, I got one bone to pick.
I'll ask you that in a second.
The thumb.
When he raises the thumb.
Cheesy.
Doesn't it make you go cheesy?
There is a moment earlier where he's teaching him to do thumbs up.
And you can barely notice it.
Pause it.
Pause it.
Sorry.
Do you know how they did this scene?
With two Linda Hamiltons, I think, right?
Correct.
Twin sisters.
They brought in Linda Hamilton for that scene and also the scene in the mirror where she's doing the operation on the original Terminator.
That's Linda Hamilton and her twin sister.
And then in the hotel room, there's a fake Arnold in the foreground with Linda Hamilton operating on him.
There's no mirror.
There's the real Arnold and Linda Hamilton on the other side of the wall.
So they use the twin sisters twice.
Now that's moviemaking, Chris, right?
So good.
Yeah, they're magicians.
They're magicians.
It's amazing.
But to think about it.
Did you notice how amazing the performance is of the man who plays the scientist who creates the Terminators, Barack Obama?
Yes, Dyson.
Really fantastic.
Is actually so good.
And I understand, you know, now why he got elected president.
It was just... Because he's a good actor.
He's a good actor.
He's a good actor.
That's right.
He's a good actor.
He can read a teleprompter.
You know, it's funny, though.
I do think that there is this kind of thing that happens sometimes where a celebrity will drive people's tastes and interests.
So if there's somebody who becomes a big star, like a Britney Spears, for instance, if there's a girl out there who kind of resembles Britney Spears, maybe you weren't that attracted to her before, but now you're like, oh, she's kind of hot, actually, because you saw that Britney Spears video.
This happens in real life.
I think something similar happened with Barack Obama, because this guy, and maybe there's some other actors
as well, this guy was so charming, and you really cared about him in this movie,
and you didn't want him to die, you know, and he sacrifices himself essentially at the end,
blows himself up for the future of humanity, and he does look quite a bit like Barack Obama.
So you're saying, you're saying it's not a function of him, you know, being a puppet or being chosen by the establishment.
You're saying Miles Dyson, Dr. Miles Dyson is why we elected Barack Hussein Obama.
Is that?
Is that what you're saying?
Maybe it had some small part of it.
Maybe it had some small part of it.
No, I do.
I mean, he comes from Chicago.
He comes from the machine.
Of course, he was chosen and elevated in that way.
But no, maybe there was some small, small... No, but I'm glad you gave credit because the actor who played Dyson, I'm sorry, a small part but an emotionally heavy part when he's shot in his home, his child, his wife tries to save him and then at the end when he sacrifices himself, just that moment when he's holding the weight above the detonator and then he kills himself to save the others.
A small part but an important part.
Very powerful, very powerful.
And can I just take a real quick side note here?
Yeah.
I have actually created an AI video for my channel.
I don't know if you saw this one, very short.
No.
For some reason, it's not doing well at all.
Nobody's watching it.
But I had this idea, right?
We know that there are some tapes of Joe Biden who has, you know, taken bribes from Ukraine.
And so I thought, what if Donald Trump had taken those same bribes?
And so I used AI voice technology to mimic Trump's voice on a phone call with the president of Burisma taking a bribe.
And I put it out there on my channel and I said, what if this were real?
Wow.
And for some reason, nobody has watched this.
It's my like lowest performing video of all time.
But I thought it was very funny.
It's a funny video.
I highly recommend you check it out.
But I'm like, what if Donald Trump had taken that bribe?
He'd be hanged at this point.
Yeah, it's a genius idea to use that to flip it.
I'm gonna promote it on my social media.
I didn't turn up on my feed on YouTube as well, so maybe, I don't know, maybe Skynet is suppressing it.
I think Skynet might have something to do with hiding this video.
I think Skynet may be suppressing it.
Alright, let's wrap up here.
Thumb from the Terminator.
Cheesy.
Destroys it.
Or it's just a kind of...
What did Eric, what did you say about this movie's ending?
What did you say about this for guys?
I say that this ending, the manliest sad ending ever, I call it the equivalent for guys, what the Titanic ending is for girls.
Chris?
I mean, I agree.
Look, I always say, you can't fall in love with a machine.
And I never do.
I don't have the same attachment to the Terminator that Edward Furlong does.
But I understand why he has that affection for him.
And it is a very sad scene.
But I always have in the back of my head that it's a robot.
So it's never quite as sad for me as it should be.
But I do understand the sacrifice that the robot has made.
I know it doesn't care.
But it's still sad for Edward Furlong.
It is a... It's an epic ending.
It's the way... It's the best way they could have ended it, I feel like.
Yeah.
And the other movies that followed, Chris, your verdict?
What are you talking about?
There's no other movies.
Thank you.
Correct.
That is the correct answer.
That is the correct answer.
All right.
We have to rate it.
What shall we rate it out of?
What is the object that we're going to rate it out of, Eric?
We need an object.
We had doubloons for the Goonies.
What is the object in this movie?
Let's say 10 CPU chips.
Yes, CPU chips.
Okay, give us a score out of a Skynet CPU chips.
Your metric is audiences today how they'd enjoyed it.
Mine is the in the universe of movies.
How do we rate it?
Look, that moment where he pulls the gun on the T-1000 when he's completely frozen in liquid nitrogen.
And he says, hasta la vista, baby.
And they rack focus to the gun.
The gun fires, blows him up into a million pieces.
That moment is so iconic.
It is one of the great shots ever in the history of cinema.
There are so many moments like that in this movie.
He says, I'll be back.
Again, in this film, and he runs a car through the police station, just or not the police station, the Cyberdyne factory, just in exactly the same way as the first.
There's so many beautiful, perfect moments in this film.
I personally would not give it a 10 out of 10 just because for me as a kid, this was a little too scary.
This was a little like when I was young, when I was like 12, when I first saw this movie.
But it was a little too dark for me.
It's a little too dark for me.
I also figured out that the road, the empty road, I never thought about this before, but in the extended version I got a better understanding of it.
That's a metaphor for the unknown future.
Because they knew what the future was at the beginning of the movie.
Yes!
So now the future's unknown to them.
That's a metaphor.
But did you see the original ending?
Have you seen the original ending?
Oh, where it's like too nice.
It's like a utopian Star Trek.
Oh, play it in the background.
Just play this B-roll.
I mean, I'm glad they pitched it and they just left it in the editing room floor in the garbage can.
It's terrible.
I mean, A, it looks bad.
You're jarred by this, you know, matte painting of DC with modern architecture.
And then Sarah, who's still buff, you know, they put a long wig on her or whatever.
Now she's happy and the kids are playing and everything's okay.
I'm glad they left this on the camera.
Especially when you juxtapose it with the nuclear bomb scene.
Oh my gosh.
I mean we didn't even mention it.
The special effects aren't that good?
Like her makeup's not that good?
No!
None of it's good.
You can tell that this is, you know...
Um, you know, it's, it's like, it's like the aging they did on Star Trek The Next Generation, just cheap.
It just doesn't work.
It doesn't work at all.
It doesn't work.
And let's, let's show the nuclear scene that I forgot.
This is probably what scared you when you were a kid, because this is, this is horrific.
I mean, there's one special making of thing I watched.
Stan Winston made monsters for a living.
I mean, may he rest in peace.
He was one of the greatest special effects guys in the business.
He literally made monsters for a living.
And he says, when we were filming this, when we were blowing away with a leaf blower the fake skeletons we'd made of children immolated and adults burnt to a crisp, he said, We didn't like doing that.
That was the only time that our job was like, we didn't feel comfortable making it.
If Stan Winston gets queasy, then you realize this is a serious scene.
Alright, so you didn't like it when you were a kid, so you don't put it at the 10 out of 10, but for modern audiences, it holds up in terms of special effects.
What is your CPU Skynet chips rating?
Yeah, I think that people are going to love this as much as any film you could possibly love, especially if you like darker films.
I think this holds up.
I do think that this film is one of the ultimate classics.
This is a 10 out of 10.
10 chips out of 10 chips.
For a modern audience, really?
Oh, yeah.
If you don't love Terminator 2 as a masterpiece of cinema, I think there's something wrong with you.
Wow.
Wow.
Yeah, it's great.
It's that great.
It's that great.
All right.
In terms of the panoply, the universe of movies, when you're up against, you know, the Casablancas, the Star Warses, I was going to give it a 7.5, but after I just heard your grade, I'm going to give it an 8 Skynet CPU chips out of 10.
I think you're probably, I think that's a fair ranking considering the other films you listed.
Okay.
Yeah, I think you're right.
I think you're right.
Good, all right.
Now you got to do a double feature when you pick T1.
Yes, so now you're gonna do a double feature.
So I get a double feature.
I'm indulging myself because this is all about indulging myself and my childhood nostalgia.
Allegedly, Eric has done the research And very early on, do you know this is our 25th review?
Do you realize that?
I did not know because we were talking about it because he's sending me the videos now, Eric is.
So now he's probably counting them up.
This is our 25th.
This is our anniversary, Chris.
I feel like we just started.
I know!
It's so much fun.
Allegedly, because they just run into each other and I have so much fun.
Allegedly, we did one episode On all three Star Wars movies.
Which is fun at the beginning, but wrong.
Because they deserve more of our time.
So how about a double feature, next week Empire, and then the week after Jedi?
I love that.
Are we happy?
I love that.
Are we happy?
I am so happy.
So here's an excuse for my, tell my wife, sorry I gotta work tonight, I gotta watch Empire Strikes Back again.
Have you got my original, the 4K Remasters of the original films that I sent you?
Yes!
I'll have to send it to you again.
Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes.
Yeah, yeah.
Alright.
So you can watch the original.
And what I also have that I found at the local community center has a used book sale every year and you know we donate and there's like literally rooms and rooms and rooms of boxes of books it's for some women's education fund or whatever and they have a room with DVDs and about six years ago I found the OG 1997 release of Star Wars and Empire Return on DVD before George screwed with it.
Nice!
You can't find it.
He banned sale of it.
You cannot buy it now.
So you're saying at this charity you went like this, what's that?
And then grabbed the DVD.
No, look, I paid $2 for them each.
I paid $2, but I have them.
And I will forever have them.
Alright, guys.
Too much fun.
I can't believe we get paid.
I get paid.
He just makes money out of his adverts to do this.
He's Chris Coles.
Follow him right now.
It is the Alpha Critic channel.
It is the Mr. Reagan channel.
Amazing stuff.
I'm gonna go off right now and repost his AI deep fake on what if Donald Trump had done this.
I need to see that.
In the meantime, wherever you are, whatever you're doing, keep your head on a swivel.
