	♪♪ I'm
	I want to know what's in your head.
	When you go to bed at night, do you worry about going to jail?
	No, I don't, really.
	I don't even think about it.
	I'm built a little differently, I guess, because I have had people come up to me and say, how do you do it, sir?
	How do you do it?
	I don't even think about it.
	These are corrupt people that I'm dealing with.
	They're destroying our country.
	I don't even think about it.
	All I think about is making the country great, making America great.
	Look, these are political.
	These are banana republic indictments.
	These are third world indictments.
	The NBC interview that is causing quite a stir with President Trump at the weekend.
	Greetings, friends.
	Welcome.
	Happy Monday.
	I'm your host, Sebastian Gorka, former deputy assistant and strategist to that man.
	Much has been said of that interview in the last 24 hours, and some putative conservatives, alleged conservatives, have attacked President Trump for what he said about abortion!
	And I find it quite amusing.
	He's being attacked for saying that Ron DeSantis' decision to try and ban abortions past six weeks in Florida was a bad move.
	Now, whatever you think of that statement, which came in a long rant because Kristen Welker was obsessed with abortion, the broader point is this.
	Anyone who calls themselves a conservative Who criticizes President Trump on the life issue is not a conservative.
	It's not my opinion.
	That is a statement of fact.
	Why?
	You've been lectured to by the establishment conservative class that we're so pro-life, abortion is evil, and we're going to stop it.
	And what did they do?
	What did they deliver?
	What did the establishment deliver in the last 50 years since Roe v. Wade?
	Nothing.
	Nothing.
	Then along comes a man who's never served in political office ever, runs for the highest position in the land, and wins that position the first time he runs.
	What does he do?
	Not only is he the first Republican president To speak at the March for Life as president, not after they left office, but as president.
	Not even Ronald Reagan did that!
	You know how tough it is for me to say that?
	Not even Ronald Reagan addressed the March for Life.
	We had to wait for Donald Trump.
	I was there.
	I was on the mall with my wife.
	I saw him.
	I can attest to the fact.
	One.
	President.
	Did it.
	My boss.
	Not only that, but he delivered us not one, not two, but three Supreme Court Associate Justices.
	And what did they deliver upon, along with the incumbents, the greats, like Clarence Thomas?
	Something that, to be very honest with you, I did not expect to see in my lifetime.
	The striking down of Roe v. Wade for the garbage piece of non-law that it was.
	The penumbra of privacy in the Constitution justifying the murder of babies?
	What has the privacy between a woman and her doctor got to do with terminating a life?
	Nothing!
	So, he has the courage to address the March for Life, and then he delivers a Supreme Court that strikes down the deadliest law in American history.
	There is no law.
	There is no law.
	No law.
	Not even, you know, the death penalty.
	Nothing.
	There is no law that results in the death of 800,000 Americans every year.
	Roe v. Wade did that.
	Roe v. Wade was used to justify the murder of more than 60 million Americans in the womb since the 1970s.
	And you're going to criticize President Trump on life?
	You're a hack!
	You're just doing it to boost DeSantis or because you always hated President Trump.
	I will say it very simply for the stupid people out there.
	There has never been A more pro-life president than President Trump.
	Period.
	End of story.
	So don't make a big fuss about one interview.
	Talk to me about Roe v. Wade.
	Talk to me about the March for Life.
	Talk to me about the person who delivered on the thing that no Republican, paleocon, neocon, never-Trumper, rhino delivered on in 50 stinking years.
	That's just a statement of fact.
	Now my goal, personally, is that abortion should be illegal.
	What do I mean by that?
	The deliberate targeting for termination of a child in the womb should be a crime.
	Just as if you kill a woman who's pregnant, you have committed a double homicide.
	Because what is abortion?
	Abortion is the deliberate termination of a human life.
	If a mother is in danger and has to undergo some kind of medical procedure, the goal should be to save both of them.
	If a child inadvertently dies as the result of trying to save the mother's life, that may happen.
	But that's not what abortion is.
	Abortion is the deliberate Targeting and termination of a life, why?
	Because it's a nuisance.
	I'm going to say the quiet bit out loud.
	Pregnancy, abortion, has so devolved to a point at which abortion is now treated as another form of contraception, which of course it isn't, Because the child has already been conceived.
	Less than 1%, don't believe me, look it up, less than 1% of all Terminations of pregnancies.
	That's the technical term, right?
	Let's say, killing of children in the womb.
	Less than 1% are because of what?
	A threat to the mother's life, rape or incest.
	So what are we saying of the 900,000 children killed every year?
	Every single one of them, bar a handful, are done.
	Why?
	Because the woman had sex and got pregnant and she says, Whoops!
	I didn't mean that to happen!
	Let's kill the baby.
	That is evil.
	There is... Christian theology, and not just Catholic theology, is very clear.
	There is no justification for acts that are intrinsically evil.
	The taking of an innocent life, I don't mean the hanging or the shooting of a killer who's been convicted.
	The taking of an innocent life in an unborn is innocent.
	There is nothing more innocent than the unborn.
	The taking of an unborn life is always intrinsically evil.
	Period.
	End of story.
	So don't talk to me about NBC interviews.
	Talk to me about who's actually done something for babies in the last 60 years.
	Let's have that conversation.

	Eric, do you think Joe Biden knows who I am?
	I mean, these days he doesn't know who people in his own White House are probably, so I'm going to say no.
	This is true.
	Jeff, remember what happened to me last week with my neighbor?
	Yes, I do.
	Right, so my neighbor, Big Dem, had a Democrat fundraiser with Joe Biden, which meant our part of Virginia was literally shut down.
	You couldn't drive down my driveway without the Secret Service canine sniffing our cars.
	Do you know what happened at the weekend, Jeff?
	No.
	I went to New York yesterday.
	I took the train there at lunchtime.
	I came back on the kind of red-eyed train at like 2 a.m.
	to give a speech.
	Two speeches, actually.
	One to the Young Republicans and to another organization I'll talk about later.
	New York was a nightmare.
	Guess why New York was a nightmare when I was there?
	Another fundraiser, I'm guessing?
	Biden was in New York.
	I'm starting to think he's following me, Eric!
	What is going on here?
	They know you're dangerous.
	They know you've got to be stopped.
	So creepy!
	Is he going to sniff my hair next?
	Joe, stop following me.
	You've heard all the outrageous stories of men being failed athletes, saying they're suddenly women, and then crushing the dreams of female athletes in college and high school across the nation, destroying the futures of these brave young women.
	One woman has had enough.
	She is the bravest of them all.
	And you know who she is.
	She's been on the show many times.
	Her name is Riley Gaines and now the Leadership Institute have given her a new home with the Riley Gaines Center with a mission to identify and recruit young men and women across the country and train them to fight to protect women, defend truth and champion the principles that fuel freedom.
	I support this venture.
	We need many more than this.
	I love the Leadership Institute.
	God bless them for hosting this new center.
	Please support them at TeamRiley.org.
	That's TeamRiley, R-I-L-E-Y dot org.
	Portions of America First are brought to you in part by the superb Leadership Institute.
	More important than that, she's here with us right now!
	Riley Gaines, welcome back to America First!
	Well, it is great to see you.
	Well, tell me, I love Mort Blackwell, who, you know, behind the scenes has been working with and training young American patriots for decades now at the Leadership Institute.
	Will you tell us how you two connected or how the idea of a GAINS Center came about at the Leadership Institute?
	Absolutely.
	I've, of course, since I really took that leap of faith and began speaking out, I've been connected with a lot of different conservative organizations.
	But I pretty quickly, early on, I shall say, I got connected with the Leadership Institute.
	And something was different about them than the rest of even conservative organizations in the fact that they really wanted no credit for anything, which is rare as a business.
	We know business models You want credit for things, but this organization, they really didn't.
	They were solely dedicated to advancing conservative principles, and that mattered to me.
	Coming from a college campus, seeing how this effort is dwindling, being involved in a part of what they do, what they accomplish, the impact that they have.
	Is incredibly valuable and I'm really honored to be involved in a part of the Leadership Institute, especially Morton Blackwell.
	He's incredible.
	Yeah, you're so right.
	It kind of annoys me a little bit because he's so modest.
	He's so behind the scenes.
	He never wants to take credit for anything and they're just doing some amazing work.
	Now, one of the things on the website, I love this.
	Will you just unpack this for us?
	You've got this motto at the Riley Gaines Center.
	Quote, when they want you silent, speak louder.
	Explain.
	So this first I first understood what this really meant when I was at San Francisco State University back in April of last or I guess this year where I was delivering a speech about of course the sanctity of women's sports and locker rooms and the unfair competition and the silencing that we face and all those different pieces what it takes to be an elite athlete.
	And I was met with ambush.
	I was assaulted.
	I was held for ransom by these protesters for four hours, where they demanded that I had to pay them money if I wanted to make it home to see my family safely again.
	And so it was kind of right then and there that I used that experience, I used that to fuel my fire.
	And I think a lot of the rest of this country, really the world did too, because this got national attention.
	And they saw just how unhinged these protesters were, and really they saw to what lengths they would go to silence me.
	But it only gave me more credibility, and more notoriety, and more of a platform.
	And a lot of people were like wondering what's going to happen next, whether, you know, being held hostage, being locked in a room for hours on the phone with your husband, not knowing whether you'd get out safely, whether you just kind of quietly disappear.
	What did that assault on you?
	What did that leave you thinking afterwards that that's how a college in San Francisco reacts to somebody who's trying to protect women's sports?
	It sounds like the bare minimum, right?
	Because what I'm advocating for is privacy in areas of undressing, equal opportunities and fair play, and of course, respect for women.
	When you lay it out, how is that deemed controversial?
	But what that experience left me with is that exact quote you read.
	When they want you silent, speak louder.
	That's something that we all need to be telling ourselves.
	How we got to the point we're at in this country now is because we've been quiet, we've been left in the dark for too long and we cannot continue Down this path, it's a slippery slope, and I think more and more people are realizing that.
	So more and more people are becoming bolder, they're becoming louder, they're becoming empowered to speak the truth.
	And what kind of programs will you be doing at teamriley.org at the Riley Gaines Center?
	We will be doing media training for individuals who feel comfortable going on in front of a camera, on a stage, whatever that looks like.
	We will be giving communication tools, right?
	Effective ways to talk about this message, because what I've noticed, even in Republican lawmakers, they don't know how to effectively communicate this message in a way that's pro-woman, in a way that's pro-fairness, in a way that's pro-reality.
	How they communicate this message can be seen as anti-trans, and that's not the argument here.
	It's not anti-anything.
	It really is a pro-woman argument.
	Which is, as Republicans, we should seize this opportunity to uphold and celebrate women based on our sex.
	I think for too long, of course, we've been known as the party that abandons women's rights.
	This is an opportunity for us to take that title back, to claim that title, and so teaching people how to frame this argument in a way that is pro-woman and not anti-trans.

	We're back with that brave, brave lady, 12-time All-American Swimmer Champion.
	She is Riley Gaines, the head of something called the Riley Gaines Centre at the Leadership Institute.
	Support it today at TeamRiley.org.
	I just read this today and I want you to talk about this.
	ESPN celebrated Will Thomas, who pretends to be a female, who you had to race against, who, you know, stole titles from you, and they called him brave.
	How brave is Will Thomas, Riley?
	Well, how brave do we call any man who walks into a woman's locker room and starts exposing himself?
	I wouldn't call that brave.
	I would call that criminal.
	I would call that a sexual deviant.
	I would call that sexual harassment.
	So if we're living in a time where someone who exposes himself to women, who are also simultaneously undressing, if we're living in a time where we're calling that brave, And I guess Leo Thomas is the bravest person on the face of this earth.
	But it's more than just these men.
	They're cheats, aren't they?
	They're just cheats.
	We just should call them cheats.
	What if we called Lance Armstrong?
	What if we called Lance Armstrong who competed with Testosterone against his competitors?
	Right.
	We called him a cheater!
	We called him a cheater, but now we're living in a time where it's not considered cheating.
	It is considered brave.
	It's considered brave by the NCAA.
	It's considered brave by the International Olympic Committee.
	It's considered brave by the Biden administration.
	The people who lead this country are calling that brave.
	That should be a telltale sign of where we are as a country, as a nation.
	And that's a pretty chilling thought, to be honest.
	And isn't this the death of Title IX?
	It's like Title IX is now irrelevant.
	Absolutely it is.
	In the past 51 years, the Title IX has been implemented.
	We have seen the benefits of women's sports.
	And we've seen how it's transcended beyond just athletics.
	We've seen how the skills and the characteristics you develop from playing sports, it plays into your career.
	It plays into your relationships and your personal life.
	And women have benefited from this.
	Men too.
	And now we're seeing the erasure of Title IX.
	We're seeing the erasure of womanhood.
	And it's an abomination.
	It's really, again, I think the best word to describe what's happening is criminal.
	And it's a total violation of that beautiful 37-word federal civil rights law of Title IX.
	You gave an interview for the Daily Mail and you used powerful language.
	You said these girls, these women, are terrified.
	What are they being told by their schools, by their sports administrators, by their school principals?
	Why did you use language such as terrified?
	Well, notice how I'm one of the few speaking up.
	We all feel the same way, yet we're being told you'll never get a job if you speak out.
	You will never get into grad school.
	You'll lose your friends.
	You'll lose your scholarship if you speak out.
	Leah Thomas's teammates were forced every single week to go to mandatory LGBTQ education meetings to learn about how, just by being cisgender, they were oppressing Leah Thomas.
	When they were concerned about the locker room and they sent an email to their administration, 16 of these girls and their parents signed on to this email, again expressing their discomfort in where they were undressing.
	Their administration responded back with, and I swear I have a screenshot of it.
	They said, if you feel uncomfortable seeing male genitalia, here are some counseling resources that you should seek in an attempt to re-educate yourself.
	They told these girls they can't take a stance because their school has already taken their stance for them.
	They told these girls, myself included, that if we did happen to speak up about this, and any harm whatsoever were to come towards Thomas's or any trans athletes way, then we would be solely responsible.
	Making us responsible for a potential death, therefore further making us a murderer.
	They told us we would have blood on our hands if we advocated for fair play and privacy in our locker rooms.
	One simple question.
	Where are the feminists?
	All right, we will make this a regular discussion because you are out there fighting the good fight.
	We want all of our friends to support you at the amazing Leadership Institute's new Riley Gaines Center.

	Okay, good.
	Did you ever have that? Kill the mics.
	You You
	Your expectation What are you hearing about the budget, the government funding?
	Listen, I think the approach that Kevin McCarthy's taking is helping.
	Let the guys negotiate with themselves, and then you get involved at the end when there's a deal, rather than you trying to orchestrate everything.
	I think the two sides have there, but I don't think Scott Perry has his side fully together yet.
	But I think they're moving towards a deal.
	I think you'll see a deal end of the week.
	Great.
	Yeah.
	And they might kick it to November.
	30 seconds.
	you you
	...
	you Well, it looks to me like nine Biden family members got money.
	I want to see bank statements.
	I think they'd have to come before us to answer the questions.
	Remember what impeachment inquiry is.
	It empowers Congress in a legal ability to get the information we need.
	That's going to be bank statements.
	That's going to be credit card statements.
	That's going to be family members coming in and answering the questions the American public can know.
	Kevin McCarthy giving us the facts.
	Nine members.
	That's a cartel, isn't it?
	We have to unpack that with one of our favourite guests momentarily, but first things first, he's going to be in there, or at least somebody, for the next 14 months.

	John Solomon, happy Monday.
	Happy Mondays.
	Good to be with you.
	All right, so latest article you sent me concerns a second informant the FBI received information from regarding the Biden case.
	What happened to that informant's information, John?
	The agent working for U.S.
	Attorney David Weiss, the one who's now the special prosecutor in the Hunter Biden case, the one who gave the sweetheart deal that got reversed by the judge, the one who's been investigating Hunter Biden all the way back for six years, five years, the agent working for that prosecutor asked the FBI colleagues in Washington that had developed this evidence to shut down the informant.
	So we already knew about the one informant.
	Chuck Grassley put out the 10-23 earlier this year.
	A Ukrainian informant comes in and says there may have been a $10 million bribe involving the Bidens in Burisma.
	This is a different informant, comes in through the Washington field office.
	They go and approach the informant.
	They develop some meaningful information about Joe Biden and Hunter Biden and the Delaware FBI office, the one working with Wise Calls, the Washington field office said, hey, shut that thing down.
	We don't want you guys involved in this.
	Back off.
	And the agent that tells us this, agent Tim Tebow, who used to be the number two agent in charge of the Washington field office, he said he was kind of surprised because the whole reason you open up an informant is to learn something about the case, not to find out or to avoid learning about things.
	He was actually a little disappointed that his office got shut down in this endeavor.
	Do you have a sense, and God forbid me from putting words in your mouth, but we're getting to a point from various whistleblowers, sources, what have you, Devon Archer, on and on and on, that we're getting to some kind of crescendo point in terms of the evidence?
	I mean, when the White House sends out this memo last week to editorial staff in the mainstream media saying, you must not listen to the lies of the GOP, sounds, you know, to quote the Bard, Yeah, listen, today Hunter Biden sued the IRS because the whistleblowers had the nerve to go and blow the whistle on what the IRS did, right?
	It's odd that they would sue the agency that the whistleblowers were accusing weren't doing the right thing.
	There is, listen, I think there are three very simple questions.
	Is Joe Biden a crook?
	Did he lie about it to hide his family's misdeeds from us during the 2020 election?
	And did his administration, since they took power, cover up and prevent a legitimate investigation of this from being occurred?
	If all three of those are yes, if the Republicans can answer that definitively yes, then he may face impeachment before the spring of next year.
	If they can't, I think we'll still get a lot of new evidence.
	But the real question is, as age-old as Richard Nixon, is our president a crook?
	Did he cover something up?
	And has he been lying to us?
	And I think the answer of lying to us is clear.
	The crook issue is still open as we try to find that $10 million payment.
	Did it occur?
	Did Hunter pay his bills regularly from his foreign finances?
	And the obstruction issue with the agencies gets clearer and clearer.
	Why would the FBI shut down its informant?
	Why would the FBI prevent the IRS agents from executing search warrants?
	Why were they told they couldn't ask questions about Joe Biden?
	Biden, that certainly looks like a cover-up when you don't let your agents do the work
	they normally would do if Joe Biden wasn't and his family wasn't the target of the investigation.
	And why does it take years and years and years?
	And why is there a sweetheart deal with a universal amnesty?
	All of these questions need to be posited on the floor of the Congress.
	Alright, what can we expect from you and your amazing team at Justin News in the next couple of days and next week?
	So as we dig deeper into what the IRS and FBI was looking at, what Tim Tebow's office was looking at, what the IRS whistleblowers were looking at Delaware, we're beginning to learn that there were some concerns about Joe Biden's campaign, the 2020 campaign, the one he was running in 2020.
	We're going to try to get to the bottom of that and give people some new information in the next 48 to 72 hours, but there's some clear indications that one avenue of investigation for the IRS and particularly the FBI Was a matter involving Joe Biden's campaign.
	We're going to get into that hopefully by the middle of this week.
	And isn't it rather strange that we have the son of the president suing his father's own government in terms of the IRS?
	Has that ever happened before, John?
	Oh, we've frozen up.
	I don't think it has.
	Because he's suing the IRS.
	He's suing the IRS because of the whistleblowers.
	And let's remember whose IRS it is.
	It's Joe Biden's.
	Hunter Biden is suing his father's administration.
	Very, very interesting.
	If you want to support the president, then you know what to do.
	We have so many things that will express to the world that you have had it with the corruption in the deep state.
	It is the booking photograph number one on a t-shirt with the very simple phrase Trump 2024.
	If there's anyone that can clean up the swamp it's him.
	We also have the stand with 45 flag and also the very popular jointly released with Chris Plant the FBI t-shirt but this time it stands for Fascist Bureau of Intimidation.

	You thought about resigning.
	You did not.
	I thought at the time, it was a consideration of mine, but several people counseled me and they reminded me that an officer, a commissioned officer, resigning is the consummate political act and that it's our obligation to stay out of politics.
	And if I were to resign, then that would be a grave mistake and it would be putting the uniform even more into politics.
	Title for John The only three questions that matter about Biden
	Mm-hmm You
	You You
	You .
	Mm-hmm You
	You You
	Here's looking at you, Snowflake.
	America first.
	Mondays always go fast for that first hour.
	That was crazy.
	Let's go to your call straight away.
	Nancy, Philadelphia.
	Greetings, Nancy.
	Hi there, Dr. G. Hey.
	You mentioned that so many women support abortion on demand.
	But I understand that women don't just wake up one day and happen to find themselves pregnant.
	It takes two.
	And from talking to people, my understanding is that it's often the man who wants the woman to have an abortion because it allows them to engage in risky behavior with no consequences.
	Sorry, that makes no sense to me.
	If the woman doesn't want to have the baby, then she doesn't have sex or she uses contraception.
	Are you really telling me that a woman wants to get pregnant with a man who tricks her to get pregnant and then wants her to abort the baby?
	What are you talking about, Nancy?
	I'm not suggesting that women are being, you know, tricked.
	So what are you suggesting?
	It makes no sense to me.
	A woman can't get pregnant unless she agrees to sex.
	Unless she is raped.
	And I told you less than 1% is rape incest.
	So I have no idea what you're talking about.
	Men can also take steps to protect from getting a woman pregnant, Dr. D. Well, of course they can, but guess who pays the penalty for getting pregnant?
	Not the man.
	So don't you think it's rather incumbent on the woman to make sure if she doesn't want to get pregnant, she doesn't get pregnant?
	A man doesn't have to get pregnant because he can't.
	So who bears the burden?
	Who bears the burden, Nancy?
	I think it's equal.
	No, I'm sorry.
	Until a man starts carrying around a human being in his belly for nine months, which is impossible, it is the woman who will always bear the burden.
	Sorry Nancy, you're out of line.
	Let's go to Mark Cleveland, line two.
	Doctor, I wanted to ask you a question.
	Yes.
	When you look out over a lake, do you ever wonder what's buried underneath it?
	I do after I saw John Borman's movie, Deliverance.
	Fantastic.
	I'm glad you had it on Friday.
	What I was going to tell you is the, about, I was going to call you last week and see if he was going to put that movie, if you guys would use that movie someday, but it all started about two weeks ago.
	I'm watching conservative radio stations, listening to the conservative radio station and Fox and that, and the whole topic for the week they spoke about was The D.C.
	judge being a Clinton fan.
	Connections with Hunter Biden and using GPS.
	Then there was the Democratic prosecutors they're worried about.
	Then they're talking about Washington, D.C.
	and most of the people, maybe 95%, voted for Clinton.
	I just got a little tired.
	I turned the station to FXM.
	And they got Drew, or Burt Reynolds talking to Drew.
	He said, what do you think we would do with the body?
	Drew will take it down, hand it over to the, uh, to the police.
	And, uh, Burt Reynolds goes, I'll be goddamned if I'm coming, uh, coming back up here for a trial.
	Hell, they're all related.
	Nice parallel!
	Stay on the line.
	Let's give our buddy Mark a signed copy of my first book, Defeating Jihad.
	The parallels between The Swamper and DC and Deliverance.
	Nicely done.
	I saw what you did there.
	This is America First.
	Stay with us.

	It's a song by Toto.
	Freeman had a good piece in the Wall Street Journal.
	I guess it's, I don't know if it's in the paper, but I saw it.
	War of the Lives.
	Holocaust Remembrance Day.
	Talked about visiting the Temple of Light in Pittsburgh.
	Nobody ever saw him.
	Nobody saw him.
	he was talking about getting appointments to the academy.
	Files of the Senate and the Delaware.
	But he did not mention the ones.
	Well, and he said he was in ground zero at the time.
	I can testify where he was, because I was taking on the classified Senate grant that they got.
	The FBI was being a leader for the fourth staff.
	I can tell you where he was.
	I'm not sure.
	Even back then, yeah.
	Thomas Ness.
	He knows he can just get away with it.
	It's not like he's going to be all uncomfortable.
	Brendan Brigham and...
	All right.
	All right.
	Just watch your step.
	Thank you.
	Dr. G is ready for anything on America First.
	I'm running out of time to do my analysis and my monologues.
	Far too many amazing guests and you are dear callers.
	But let me give you a very quick take on how I deal with the press.
	President Trump.
	Absolutely, interviews with NBC, CBS, CNN, but in the way that you destroy them, like at that town hall.
	Only go there if you're going to destroy them, because it's really fun.
	That's what I did when I was in the White House.
	This is me in the halcyon days, the golden days, of working in the White House and being invited on to CNN with Anderson Cooper.
	He didn't just release his emails because of your contact.
	Anderson, you're like a broken record.
	No, because I'm not getting any answers from you.
	I'm answering you.
	Every time.
	No, you're responding.
	You're actually not answering because you're not actually being a friend.
	Let's let the viewers judge.
	You decided that you are now at 13th place in national ratings, behind Nick at night, which is at 11.
	Strange I didn't get invited back.
	But that hurts!
	More people watch reruns of Scooby-Doo than watch CNN.
	Poor old Anderson Cooper.
	That's why you do mainstream media, to show them up for who they are.
	Another individual who knows how to deal with liars, who served in the Trump cabinet, a regular supporter of this show, served the nation in the uniform of two of our armed services, former Secretary of Veterans Affairs, Senior National Security Strategist for Newsmax, Secretary Robert Wilkie.
	Welcome back to American First.
	Thank you.
	I have an MSNBC store.
	Oh, please.
	Yes.
	We had a great, great trouble with blue state governors during the epidemic.
	Each state has its own veterans' homes that are separate and apart from federal VA.
	And MSNBC was on a tear.
	They thought they had us.
	So I agreed to go on Stephanie Rule's show.
	And I let her spout, veterans are dying, you're doing nothing, Trump's doing nothing.
	I said, well, thank you, Stephanie, for having me on your show, but that's not a federal facility.
	Oh, she was talking about a state facility?
	Yes, that's owned by the people of Boston.
	And the reaction was?
	And we have offered our help to these people.
	And you could see her egging her producer to tell her to get her out of trouble.
	But it was one of my favorite moments as secretary to watch the expressionless face of Stephanie Ruhle cut that interview off.
	You've got to find that.
	The secretary with Stephanie Ruhle picking the wrong veterans home.
	That's how it's done.
	All right, let's get down to brass.
	Oh, first things I've got to ask you.
	A lot of people, even on our side, spinning this kind of crazy ideas about the missing F-35.
	It's like, these things do have autopilot.
	They could be in the bottom of the ocean by now.
	So, any response to the missing jet fighter?
	Accidents happen.
	That's the coin of the realm.
	And I don't read anything sinister into it.
	I'm sure somebody will come, some whistleblower will come forward and say, E.T.
	did it.
	I don't have any evidence, but it was the aliens.
	But we do hope that the pilot is... Yeah, he had to pop the canopy and eject, and he's in hospital right now.
	This is a big country.
	And the sea's even bigger.
	And the sea's even bigger.
	Yeah, but prayers for the pilot who's recovering from the ejection.
	Okay, let's talk serious news.
	To release Let's look at it this way.
	How does the world, especially our allies, look at the current Commander-in-Chief releasing $6 billion to the Mullers on the anniversary of 9-11, Secretary?
	Well, it just reinforces what they already know.
	That we are saddled with the weakest president in our history, someone who makes Jimmy Carter look like George Washington.
	The sad thing is it sends shivers through the Middle East, not only in Jerusalem, but in Riyadh, in Cairo.
	They are staring down the barrel of the theocratic fanatics in Tehran.
	And for the United States, under both Obama and Biden, to continue to fuel the tyrannical
	regime in Tehran, killing its own people but also spreading terror throughout the world,
	it is malfeasance of the first order, but it also again shows the world how weak the
	Democrats are when it comes to promoting the interests of the United States.
	It seems as if the legacy media is in a bit of a tailspin.
	When I first saw this cut, I don't do this often, but I actually laughed out loud.
	This is a former Republican, for what that's worth.
	His name is Joe Scarborough, and he's comparing the 45th and the 46th presidents of the United States.
	This is cut for Joe Scarborough.
	It's just hilarious that you have people that actually support Donald Trump, have listened to what he has said, the nonsense, the garble, the word salad, the whatever you want to call it.
	Just the absolute insanity if you follow the transcript.
	And then they look at Joe Biden and say, oh, he's cognitively impaired.
	When you follow any Joe Biden press conference, As far as actual facts, as far as actual policy, policy prescriptions, compare them to just about any other Donald Trump press conference.
	There's just not a comparison.
	Yeah, so the current incumbent is the one who's mentally sound, and the one with the word salads is President Trump.
	You work for him at the cabinet level.
	Just give our millions of listeners and viewers a little taste of what it's like having him as a boss.
	Clarity and decisiveness.
	As the secretary of the second largest department in the federal government, I always knew what my orders were.
	And then sitting in on high-level meetings that involve things other than veterans, the clarity and the conciseness of the President's orders and worldview was refreshing.
	He didn't put his finger up.
	He didn't check to see what pollster was wired for sound.
	And I think that what's comical about that is I could make an argument that the disaster that is Joe Biden is interchangeable with the disaster that was Barack Obama.
	Certainly in terms of America's position on the global stage where we had become the subject of ridicule, where Vladimir Putin felt that there was not going to be any opposition.
	to his plans to create the second Romanov empire.
	This all happened under their watch.
	It didn't happen under Donald Trump's watch.
	It's important to remember the first invasion of Ukraine, where they took Crimea, was under, as the Secretary says,
	Obama's watch.
	And now the second invasion was under Biden's after he, of course, surrendered.
	Let me give you one example, a quick example, and I think you were there.
	Putin was told to stay in his box in the Middle East.
	He didn't listen.
	President Trump's orders were clear.
	There were 300 Wagner little green men walking around.
	Two words.
	Annihilate them.
	And they disappeared.
	Putin was a choir boy for the next three years.
	He didn't even hold a press conference.
	Let's be clear.
	The president of Russia didn't even react to us.
	And no president has done this since 1917.
	Killed 300 Russian troops in 24 hours.
	And that's the man they accused of Russian collusion.
	Let's talk about a man who likes to collude with China.
	His name is Mark Milley.
	He's about to leave the position of the chair of the Joint Chiefs.
	He said he gave a strange explanation for why he didn't resign at Cut 8.
	You thought about resigning.
	You did not.
	I thought at the time, it was a consideration of mine, but several people counseled me, and they reminded me that an officer, a commissioned officer, resigning is the consummate political act, and that it's our obligation to stay out of politics.
	And if I were to resign, then that would be a grave mistake, and it would be putting the uniform even more into politics.
	But I guess calling up General Li in Beijing and telling him, I'll give you a heads up if Trump goes to war with China, that's not political.
	Well, he even did something before that that Martha has conveniently forgotten.
	After the terrorists invaded Lafayette Square and there was a response to clear them out, he joined President Trump there.
	But once the heat from his friends and the mainstream media got too hot, He issued an all-troops video where he said, that was not my place.
	I shouldn't have been there.
	Well, first of all, he should have been relieved for that.
	But the ahistoric nature of that speech is fascinating because you have to go all the way back to George Washington when he took command of American forces in Pennsylvania to quash, I believe it was the Shays' Rebellion.
	And throughout our history, our military leaders have been called upon to stop domestic violence.
	And for him to say that this was out of bounds is not only ahistoric, but it is another example of a political act carried out by this general.
	A man who was ashamed to stand with his commander-in-chief after the first occasion in history since the bunker was built, that the first family had to be evacuated to the White House bunker.
	That man... Well, I can't say it on air.
	You guys know what I think of Mark Milley.
	Make sure you are subscribed to the podcast, wherever you get your podcasts.
	Put in my name, Sebastian Gorka, leaves a five-star review, and share the links with your friends.
	We'll be back with Secretary Wilkie in a moment.
	Oh, hang on.
	Why have I got Leadership Institute again?
	I don't need to do it.
	I did?
	Oh hang on, why have I got Leadership Institute again?
	I don't need to do it.
	I did?
	Why?
	Oh, that's right.
	I opened B with a proper one, so we can pitch that here.
	So let's come in with 2, and then we'll go to the secretary.
	Where was that article you gave me about the VA?
	What outlet was that in?
	Do you remember?
	I don't remember the outlet.
	I may have given you a memo.
	You gave me a printout.
	And now they have taken that policy and extended it to most of the government, making it almost impossible to fire these people.
	They released it in the dead of night on Friday, I think.
	Oh.
	Oh, here it is.
	I've got it.
	I've got it.
	I'm sending you... Oh, that may have been in Bloomberg.
	Yes, it was.
	It was in Bloomberg.
	Yeah.
	Good memory.
	I have a memo from a colleague of yours at the White House, James Church, on the implications of All right.
	I'm sending you a headline if you can make a quick buffer.
	We're going to be discussing this next.
	Talking to me?
	I'm sending it to Eric.
	I found the Federal News Network's report on that.
	We could use that to tee off.
	Okay.
	Yep.
	Okay.
	Thank you for watching!
	Play cut ten again.
	Because Ron DeSantis says if you were elected, he'd have two terms and you'd only have one more turn.
	Is there any scenario by which you would seek a third term in office?
	No.
	DeSantis, when DeSantis says that, that means he's not your man.
	He's not your man anyway because he's a very untalented guy and he's proven that.
	He started out, everybody was talking to him.
	After I worked him over a little bit, he's gone down the tubes.
	I think he's going to end up being number three or four.
	He just had a poll today.
	He was number four.
	And by the way, the one that was number two was 59 points behind.
	So, you know, it's very interesting.
	But when somebody says eight years, we need eight years.
	Now, in six months to a year, many of the problems, almost all of the problems that you and I have just spoken about will be solved.
	Anybody that says they need eight years, you don't want that person.
	You you
	you You
	you You
	You You
	you you
	You You
	you Bye.
	Let's do a little bit of a 101.
	Let's do a little trivial pursuit.
	What is the most populous Muslim nation in the world, Chris?
	You tell me.
	These are your answers.
	No, no.
	You tell me.
	What is the biggest Muslim nation in the world?
	No, you tell me.
	Massive population.
	I want to give you the opportunity to lay that.
	Assume I know nothing.
	Go ahead.
	It's Indonesia.
	I will assume you know nothing.
	What's the largest Arab nation in the world?
	You tell me.
	Egypt.
	Yeah, that was way back when, golden years, the beginning of the Trump administration.
	That's when you go into lying fake news legacy media to make them look what they actually are.
	Chris, you actually said on live television, assume I know nothing.
	And I did.
	And we still do.
	I'm Sebastian Gawker, this is America First, back in studio with us, former cabinet member of the Trump administration, caring for our veterans, reforming that whole entity that was so destitute, so broken, so full of corrupt bureaucrats who thought they could literally get away with murder, allowing our veterans to die in the corridors.
	And he turned it around.
	Last time he was here, he shocked me with a piece of paper.
	We have an article that expresses the news of that recent development.
	The Union, the Veterans Administration, the Biden Administration has come to a settlement With those that you got rid of, and everybody has to be reinstated, back pay paid to them, and those who were discharged, fired for grievous malfeasance and misconduct, even those individual secretary get 20% of what income they lost.
	How is this possible?
	Well, you have to remember that there are two legions of stormtroopers for the left.
	the teachers unions and the government unions.
	And I've said many times, quoting that great conservative Franklin Roosevelt,
	that a government union is a dagger pointed at the heart of the American people.
	Roosevelt himself refused to recognize any government union entity
	because he knew what would happen.
	So at VA, I think AFG represents about a quarter, maybe a third of the employees.
	That's the union.
	That's the union.
	And as part of a sweetheart deal, this administration is bringing back those people that Trump very clearly said, get rid of.
	And is there any even putative justification?
	You were fired, but we're bringing you back because stealing is okay, or alright?
	Well, they're saying that we did not go through proper channels.
	Well, I used, I believe it was Section 714 of the VA Accountability Act, which was passed with massive bipartisan majorities, both houses of Congress, which said because VA is unique, its mission is unique.
	and that veterans were dying.
	The secretary has special authority to relieve those who are putting veterans in danger.
	We did that.
	Morale soared, contrary to what the Washington Post or the New York Times would say.
	We went from a 37 percent approval rating, according to CNN, to a 91 percent approval
	rating.
	And even set a record for the most appointments VA took.
	I believe it was in 2019, 59 million appointments within the agency.
	But once people realized that they would be held to a higher standard, efficiencies went up.
	The institution began a recovery.
	And people knew they, one, couldn't get away with things, but two, the good employees, and most of them are very good, didn't have to cover for those who were not fulfilling their oath.
	What happens to those people, the good employees, now that they see this pond scum being reinstated with lump sums of money?
	I mean, you're a military man.
	What happens to the good people's morale?
	Well, it plummets, and I think you're also seeing with this administration in VA a hemorrhaging of employees who are leaving.
	And you talk about General Milley and the politicization of the senior officer corps.
	This administration secretary on day one said his priorities were transgender.
	Union prerogative.
	Workplace.
	Remote work.
	This is the VA Secretary?
	This is the VA Secretary.
	How much need is there for transgenderism in the Veterans Administration Secretary?
	Right.
	Not much of any.
	And diversity, equity and inclusion, which was fascinating for a department where 48% of the employees are African American.
	Hang on, but 12% of the population is African American.
	So I guess he's going to get rid of... But what word is missing from each one of those priorities?
	Veterans.
	Veterans.
	Right.
	It's using VA as Milley and his leadership have used.
	But we have this cut.
	It's a political petri dish.
	We have this cut from Mark Milley, another one, where the fact he says this with a straight face as he's walking out of the door of the chairman's office.
	This is cut nine.
	Again, probably the greatest embarrassment to the U.S.
	military in 100 years.
	Play cut.
	Is the U.S.
	military too woke?
	No, not at all.
	So, you know, I'm not even sure what that word truly means, but I would tell you that the military I see is a military that's exceptionally strong, that's powerful, it's ready.
	I believe, and I don't want to put words in your mouth, I believe this is a fundamentally corrupt but also very stupid man.
	He just repeated what he did in testimony.
	He says, I don't think the military's woke.
	And then he says, and I don't know what that means.
	How does, you know, a five-year-old doesn't say, I don't know what an orange is, but I don't think I'm orange.
	Well, he also testified that he wanted to make sure the military, and he knew all about white rage.
	You can now get a minor in diversity studies at the military academy.
	And when he's talking about readiness, they've destroyed the physical readiness standards.
	Which was your job in the Pentagon prior to VA Secretary.
	You were responsible for all of our readiness.
	Tom Cotton for the last two years has been decrying the state of physical readiness under this administration.
	In my father's day, in the 82nd Airborne, you were allowed to have higher physical standards just to be in that division.
	You can't do that anymore because the Secretary of the Army says it's an enemy of diversity.
	She also said, and he's talking about not being woke or following the radical agenda,
	she says she doesn't want second or third generation recruits because that fights against
	diversity and inclusion and creates a warrior caste.
	Well, the Secretary, the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff,
	Chief's father was a sergeant in the Battle of Kwajalein, so I guess that eliminates it.
	So the families that have a tradition, that know how to serve, that understand what the
	military means, those people should be excluded.
	Roosevelt's, MacArthur's, McCain's.
	Those people should be excluded.
	They should be excluded.
	We have a lot of work to do, ladies and gentlemen.
	We have a lot of work to do come the next administration, but only if we get the right man back in the Oval Office.
	What are you doing about it?

	Two of the stories we have to mention, just out of respect for the dead, and to note what's happening in America.
	In Los Angeles over the weekend, Los Angeles County, a young deputy, Ryan Klinkenbrumer, was assassinated.
	A vehicle pulled up beside him and shot him to death.
	As of this morning, they have apprehended the man who shot him after an hours, hours long standoff.
	But he was just assassinated.
	And this after years of what?
	Anti-police rhetoric.
	Who's to blame?
	I think you know who's to blame.
	And then in Las Vegas, this shocking video, this viral video, of two black youths, I don't know if they'd stolen the vehicle, but they were joyriding, and they saw an elderly individual on a bicycle, and they just shout to each other, take him down, take him down!
	Retired police chief, Andreas Probst, was run down.
	His head hit the curb, and when they got him to hospital, he was pronounced dead.
	How do we come back from this, and what do decent people do in the meantime?
	Let's talk to a man who served for how long?
	20 years.
	20 years as a sheriff's deputy in the reserves for the L.A.
	County, and now he's here in the Commonwealth of Virginia.
	Mark Vafiadis, welcome to America First.
	Thank you, Dr. Corker.
	Thank you for your service to the nation and to the people of Los Angeles County.
	What we're seeing, the targeting of the men and women in blue, these aren't outliers and these aren't accidents, are they?
	Not at all.
	As you mentioned, the rhetoric coming out of the politicians from the left has just... it's empowered people on the other side to push back.
	It's told them, hey, if you get stopped by the police, don't comply.
	You know, push back.
	And this is what causes the friction.
	This is what causes them to want to fight the police.
	So, you know, the left is doing a disservice not only to law enforcement, But to those people that are stopped by the police, those people that are committing crimes, and instead of just complying and being arrested, they're pushing back, they're fighting, and their lives are at risk as well.
	The question I always have is, and you must be in touch with friends who, you know, still serve or who retired recently, how do these men and women put on the badge and the Sam Brown in the morning and go to work when they know they have people in suits who hate them and who are encouraging people to attack them because they're police?
	It is.
	It's discouraging many times, and they rely on each other.
	They have each other's backs.
	For the most part, the leadership in the Sheriff's Department is also very supportive.
	They know what's going on.
	And, you know, one thing that's different about a Sheriff's Department from, for example, a Los Angeles Police Department, the chief of police at LAPD has to answer to the politicians and to the mayor.
	Right.
	The sheriff is elected.
	So they answer to the people and they can enforce the law with a little more clarity than those on the other side.
	It's just discouraging.
	I remember, I worked right after 9-11.
	And there was a whole different feeling and attitude towards the police at that time.
	It seemed like everyone was coming together, supporting each other, supporting the police.
	I remember driving around in a patrol car and people waving to us.
	It was just a totally different feeling from the way it is now.
	We, um, I need to look into that story, that horrific story from a few months ago.
	It's the L.A.
	Sheriff County, L.A.
	County Sheriff's Department again.
	All those new recruits outside the academy who were mowed down.
	By a juvenile motorist, many of whom lost their limbs.
	I need to return to that story and find out what happened.
	In the meantime, I'm Sebastian Gorka.
	This is America First coming to you from the relieffactor.com studios.
	We will continue the conversation in a minute.

	Is it possible, Mr. Borka, that your team is obsessed with the Clintons?
	No, we'd like you to actually do your job.
	And, you know, you're not in the news business anymore.
	You used to be.
	You are in the attacking President Trump business.
	And it's sad.
	That's how you do it.
	That's me with Alison Camerata of CNN back when I was in the White House.
	I refuse to do interviews with the media, with the bad guys in the media, unless it was to show them up and that's my rule and I'm sticking to it.

	I have one of these for every member of my family.
	And that means that if the stores run out, I can feed my family.
	If you're a father, if you're a husband, if you're a grandfather, do you have a plan B?
	Do you know that most grocery stores, even the big ones, Less than 72 hours worth of supply in the stockroom.

	We're back with Mark Vafiadis, who is a former Reserve Deputy, L.A.
	County, and now he is here in the Commonwealth of Virginia, and he's decided to do something very, very crazy concerning the 35th District of the Virginia Senate.
	Mark, what are your plans?
	Well, first of all, I've been involved in Republican politics pretty much my whole adult life, but not just a Republican.
	I was basically a Tea Party Republican.
	As a matter of fact, my wife and I, in 2009, flew to Boston in April 2009 to attend the Boston Tea Party.
	So we were Tea Party Republicans.
	It was actually in front of the State House, but we actually thought it would be initially, and that would have been a lot of fun.
	But so, you know, we've been involved in the Republican Party and the Tea Party movement for a long time, and then it was a natural evolution when President Trump ran for office.
	It seemed the Tea Party people all moved into the MAGA movement.
	Exactly.
	And while in California, I was chairman of the Los Angeles County Republican Party.
	And as such, I was a spokesman for the Trump campaign, media spokesman for the Trump campaign in Southern California.
	And my wife and I both had the honor to be Trump appointees when President Trump was elected.
	And we worked right through until January 20th, 2021.
	Wow.
	And I wasn't really looking to run for the state Senate, but Virginia is becoming more like California.
	Yeah.
	And that was thanks to Governor Northam and the Democrat legislature.
	And thankfully we now have Governor Yunkin and we have the Republican House of Delegates.
	However... The Senate is key.
	By two votes.
	By two votes.
	And there are a lot of issues that the citizens are just so concerned about.
	So talk to us about your platform.
	What are the key things that you think will help the good guys take back the Senate?
	Yeah, I'm highlighting three issues.
	Number one is education and parental rights.
	Number two is crime and support for the police.
	And number three is the economy, the cost of living, and high taxes.
	Those are the three issues.
	Meanwhile, the Democrats are talking about abortion rights.
	Can I just stop you there?
	Sure.
	My wife and I snuck into a Democrat primary, because my wife's a little anarchist, and she wanted to see the guy running for the county commissioner's seat who'd called her a fascist in an email to 5,000 of his fellow drones.
	And the county commissioner has no health care responsibility, non-zero.
	You know, the biggest round of applause was in this Democrat primary debate, when he stood up and he said, My, if I'm elected, my primary responsibility in Fairfax County, one of the fifth richest counties in America, he said, is to finally make sure we have a Planned Parenthood.
	And then the whole audience were like seals.
	It's like he's not running for health secretary.
	He doesn't have any mandate.
	But as soon as you say abortion, it's like a cult mark.
	Mm-hmm it is it is I mean, that's that's like one of their main issues and that's not the top issue for And another one is climate change that is one of their number one issues to make sure and secure Virginia as a climate change champion state, you know They passed what what is called the Clean Economy Act under Governor Northam and of course all the Democrat legislation is so deceptively named and that's that's one of always Always.
	So talk to me about how we win, because as you said, I mean, it's changed a lot.
	It's like California.
	A lot of overpaid Democrat bureaucrats have moved in.
	Where do we win it?
	Do we win it in the middle?
	Can we reach out to people who were Democrats?
	What's Mark's plan?
	Well, this is what's called an off-off-year election.
	2023, November 2023.
	So, so many people, even that pay attention, don't even realize there's an election.
	The Democrat primary a few months ago, the turnout was something like 11%, just over 11%.
	Wow.
	So the issues that I'm talking about and that most of my Republican colleagues are talking about are the issues that the citizens are concerned with.
	So we need to make sure they know there's an election, make sure they know that we're on their side when it comes to the issues.
	And that's what we have to do.
	It's a voter contact, it's sending out postcards, it's going to all kinds of organizational meetings, civic meetings, churches, and just let them know there's an election, let them know we're running, and that we're on their side when it comes to the issues.
	Alright, we've been talking to somebody you need to support.
	He's Mark Vafidis.
	You can follow him on social media at M-V-A-F.
	That's M-V-A-F.
	And more important than that, you need to go to markforva.com.
	It's like I've been saying every single day here on this show.
	How did they take the country from us?
	It wasn't with the presidency or the Senate.
	It's local politics.
	It's state politics.
	And that's how we take it back from them.
	We have to run for those positions where real America lives.
	Remember what the founding fathers designed.
	They designed a federal system where Washington would be relevant, where gridlock was baked into the system.
	Why?
	Because we are a republic of states.
	States, localities, communities, counties.
	That's where we take it back.
	The nominee I'd like you to support is Mark Vafidis, markforva.com.
	That's markforva.com.
	I'm Sebastian Gorka.
	This is America First.
	Your calls next here coming to you live from the relieffactor.com studios.
	Relief Factor, it's real, it works, it is liberating over a million Americans from their daily pain, me included.
	Yes, I had a lower back pain issue that plagued me for nine years.
	Almost a decade.
	I took relief factor, two weeks later I was pain free and I'm still pain free more than four and a half years later.
	But it's not just me.
	It's people like Gary from California.
	This is Gary's story.
	I got to know Gary when I was in the military.
	I cannot thank you enough.
	I'm 62 years old and have just started taking Relief Factor.
	I have never felt better and will recommend it to all my baby boomer friends.

	Do you think Republican hardliners should abandon their...
	...final decision?
	No.
	I'm not sure.
	800-500-8384.com you
	I'd vote for Biden.
	Biden?
	Yeah.
	Why?
	Because that's not even a choice.
	Trump, I couldn't possibly vote for Trump.
	Why?
	Like that he, you know, encouraged the January 6th raid on the Capitol.
	Oh, I thought he said to go peacefully and patriotically make your voices heard outside the Capitol.
	Well, I disagree with you on that.
	You're not disagreeing with me, you're disagreeing with the facts.
	Well, it's time for me to go.
	It's time for me to go!
	I don't have any answers!
	That's a great, great Instagram account, Shane Ginsberg.
	Everything he posts is so hilarious because it shows up the Democrats for who they are.
	Oh my gosh, we've got to go do some calls.
	We've got to squeeze in some calls before the manhood hour.
	She's been waiting patiently in Brooklyn!
	Judy!
	Happy Monday!
	Yeah, I'm the lady-in-waiting.
	I like that, the lady-in-waiting.
	You know, Judy, I found a letter of yours.
	I was tidying up my office, and I'm such a messy person.
	I found a letter of yours in my papers that I think you wrote to me three years ago about education, and I feel so bad that I didn't reply to you.
	But I still have your letter, Judy.
	Thank you for sending it.
	Okay, no problem.
	You're welcome.
	What's your topic for today?
	Okay.
	So listen, I read something, um, like around three weeks ago, it's like that.
	And I wanted to share it with you and the audience.
	Um, and it's a double outrage.
	I was doubly outraged.
	Okay.
	My first outrage was because have you ever heard of the Vera Institute of justice?
	The Vera Institute?
	No.
	Well, the Vera Institute of this, my first outrage, the Vera Institute of justice, what they were all about is, They train DAs all over this country, Dr. Gorka, to not prosecute black and brown criminals.
	Like Kim Gardner, for instance.
	She allowed 25,000 criminal cases.
	I'm looking at the website right now.
	Yeah, I'm going to check this out.
	What's the double aspect of the outrage?
	Okay, and by the way, they also stand for defunding police.
	That's why they execute police like this.
	This is the kind of, this is what, the second outrageous, guess who has funded them to the tune of $290 million in the past 12 months?
	Let me think, hang on, hang on.
	It's not Elon Musk.
	It's not Dana White.
	Is it, is it Emperor Palpatine from Hungary?
	Is it George Soros?
	No, guess what?
	What?
	It's the federal, it's the federal government and the DOJ.
	Of course!
	Of course!
	That's the outbreak.
	That's the outbreak.
	Okay, you are doing our work for us.
	How can we thank Judy?
	Judy, would you like one of our Donald Trump mug shirt t-shirts?
	No problem.
	I definitely would.
	You would?
	Or would you like the mug instead?
	T-shirt or mug?
	I would like the mug.
	The mug!
	She wants the mug.
	I don't care.
	We're going to give her both.

	We'll be back in a moment with The Manhood Hour.
	We'll be back in a moment.
	We relatively new father with a couple young daughters was asking me for any advice because he's already looking ahead
	to those teenage years and he's a little bit he's a little bit worried.
	And I said, yeah, that makes sense.
	I think all dads are.
	I said, but if you want to prepare for that, start having tea parties with them when they're three.
	And he said, well, are they going to remember that?
	And I said, well, your 17-year-old daughter's probably not going to remember a specific tea party you had with her when she was three.
	But I'll tell you this much.
	When she's five, she'll remember that you did that at three.
	When she's eight, she'll remember that you did that at five.
	And sooner or later, as time goes on and things get a little bit more complex, your little girl will still come to Daddy when she needs a hug, or she needs encouragement, or she needs advice.
	Not because she remembered a specific tea party at three years old, but because you set a pattern throughout her entire life that when she needed you, Daddy was there.
	I love that.
	I was researching for today's episode of the Manhood Hour and, you know, going down the social media postings of our guest, former Green Beret, a politician, a patriot, and the first thing I fell upon was that.
	And it is... I have to share that even though we talk about much more dangerous and manly things than that usually on these hours with our special guests.
	But that's exactly what I did with my daughter when she was 2, 3, 4, 5.
	We had a little tiny kind of kids table and we lived in Hungary and we had these miniature pottery tea sets and I'd have to sit down on this little kiddie
	stool, you know, 250 pounds of me, hoping it wouldn't break.
	And we'd have to have tea parties with my daughter.
	And it was one of those things I'm never going to forget.
	Hopefully it created a bond with my now grown daughter that will last forever.
	But when I saw that from our guest, I was very, very excited.
	It sets the scene for us to talk about all kinds of things.
	From Culpeper, from the Virginia House, a very, very great patriot, Nick Freitas.
	Welcome to the Madhood Hour.
	Well, thank you very much for having me on.
	All right, so we're going to start Why was that important for you to post that video?
	Well, look, stop that.
	For those who haven't heard your interview with me or followed your social media, he's got a huge, huge following, especially on YouTube.
	It's Nick J. Freitas.
	F-R-E-I-T-A-S.
	Nick J. Freitas.
	Follow him right now.
	But before we get into the nitty gritty, tell us a little bit about who you are, how you're a member of the Bragg Brotherhood, and how you got to do this crazy thing called politics.
	Sure.
	So, you know, I'm married.
	I have three kids.
	My oldest daughter is 20.
	My son is about to turn 18.
	And my youngest daughter is 15.
	I married my high school sweetheart, joined the military right out of high school, served with the 82nd Airborne Division, 25th Infantry, and did a couple tours over in Iraq with 1st Special Forces Group.
	I thought I was going to go career.
	I love being an SF.
	But a couple of things happened.
	I remember my second tour in Iraq.
	Came home, it was 2009.
	I remember talking to a sergeant major that I really respected, and I told him I was thinking of getting out.
	And he said, why would you get out?
	You know, you're a sergeant first class.
	You've got the right schools.
	You can kind of pick your next thing.
	You're going to be a team sergeant, which is kind of the pinnacle for group arrays.
	And I said, well, I said, Sergeant Major, we just went on our second tour.
	We had a great tour.
	We rolled up some really, really important targets.
	And we got kicked out of battle space by a conventional force commander that was mad because he didn't get to go along on the ride.
	And he said, well, Nick, that's, that's, he used more colorful language, but he said, that's crap.
	When you see a problem, you stay in long enough and you fix it.
	And I said, Jerry, you're a sergeant major.
	How many of these problems you've been able to fix?
	And he had some more colorful language for me.
	But he admitted that was the case.
	And I said, you know, the problem, Sergeant Major, is that we're finding ourselves in a situation where the guys in the uniform going overseas trying to do their job, we're not the problem.
	That's not to say we can't make improvements in the military, but it's the policymakers that are the problem.
	We have too many people that have a complete disconnect with reality on so many levels.
	And so if we're going to have to fix problems, we're going to fix it there.
	And I thought I would I thought I would work somewhere in an advisory role or assisting somebody that was elected or at a policy shop or something like that.
	But I got involved locally in my local GOP committee.
	And first time I got asked to run for office, I wisely said no.
	But the second time, I felt kind of convicted that if I was going to sit here and complain about some of the decisions that were being made, especially some of the decisions being made within the Republican Party, well, then I had an obligation to step up and show how it could be done differently.
	And so ran for the House of Delegates, and I've been serving there for the last eight years.
	So we don't rehearse these.
	I don't send out the questions as you can attest.
	So it's kind of freewheeling and that's what I find most enjoyable.
	You kind of reminded me of an experience I had at Bragg.
	So I've been associated with the JFK Special Warfare Center in school for over a decade now.
	It's one of the highest honors I can imagine even having worked in the White House.
	And your issue of being an operator, the best of the best, And then the disconnect with the guys in suits in DC.
	Let me share with you a story.
	So, you know, there's the commanders in extremist group, the, you know, the force that has to be ready at a drop of a hat.
	And my thing was teaching the incoming 18 alphas and the 180 alphas, the, the warrant officers on, on what the enemy believes.
	My thing, as you know, is, you know, the ideology of Jihad.
	And once I was invited to come and brief the commanders in extremist group prior to one
	of their deployments, and I did my usual shtick, I, you know, I condensed it down to about
	an hour.
	You know, what do they believe?
	Who are the key thinkers?
	What's the end state of the jihadists?
	What's different with regards to other insurgencies?
	And then we opened it up to the Q&A.
	And I tell you, man, one of the bravest people I know upstands this young officer and in
	front of everyone, the O5s, the O6s, all his superiors, all his peers, he said,
	Dr. G, thank you for that.
	I'm just deploying back into the sandbox for my fifth or sixth rotation, whatever it is.
	And I appreciate you doing that, because now it's clear to me who we're fighting and what they wish to achieve.
	And I want to say that because I'm going back again in the next 72 hours, and I have yet to be told why I'm fighting by my superiors.
	And that's a problem, Nick, because you guys are the best of the best.
	You're the tip of the spear.
	We'll talk about the difference between the Green Berets and, you know, Coronado and everybody else.
	But for you guys to do what you do, Without having it put into the proper context by the people who exercise civilian control, that's not good for fighting morale.
	Oh no, absolutely not.
	And what we saw over and over again, in fact we had this incident, there was one thing I actually talked about on the House of Delegates, where we had a Sergeant First Class, Sergeant First Class Martland, who had deployed multiple times with First Special Forces Group, They were trying to kick him out of the military because on one of his tours in Afghanistan, a young boy and his mother came to him and asked for help because he had been kidnapped by an Afghani police officer and raped for days.
	And when Sergeant First Class Martland and his captain approached this police officer, he admitted to doing it.
	But he laughed it off.
	This wasn't a big deal.
	This was not something they should concern themselves with.
	Well, Martland kicked his ass.
	Rightfully so.
	And he had to do that, not just because I believe it was a morally justified thing to do.
	He had to do it because he had to signal to the men and women that were in the village that this ODA was responsible for protecting.
	He had to signal to them that this was not acceptable and this was not something that they were about or party to.
	And part of the reason why he had to do it is because the first time something like this happened, where a 14-year-old girl had been raped, They sent it up the chain of command, just like they were supposed to.
	Went up the U.S.
	chain of command, went down the Afghani chain of command, and what happened?
	Well, the offending party got one day in prison, and then she was forced to marry him.
	Yeah.
	So, these are the sort of situations that a guy like Martland had to deal with, and had to find ways not only to do, I think, the morally correct thing, but also the tactically sound thing when it came to, again, signifying to the people that you're trying to help and protect, that you don't support this sort of thing going on.
	And yet, And yet, because it was politically inconvenient, this guy was going to get kicked out of the military.
	And that's part of the disconnect.
	That's part of the disconnect between the people that we're asking to go over and fight and the people that are sending them there.
	That's what I think is one of the key reasons for the inordinate number of suicides and PTSD today amongst our, you know, fighters, because they're not given the moral leadership by their commanders.
	We had that in World War II.
	We knew we were on the side of the angels.
	No matter what horrific things we saw in the death camps or in the jungles of Southeast Asia, we knew we were the good guys.
	When your bosses don't understand the moral imperative, It's tough on our troopers.
	We're talking to Nick Freitas, an ODA by the way, he's an Operational Detachment Alpha.
	It's, you know, the Green Beret Common Unit of Deployment.

	What does that mean?
	It means we have to be fighting fit.
	Are you a little thick around the middle?
	Have you got a spare tire you need to jettison?
	That was me for 20 years.
	Look, I'm six foot three.
	I could hide it, but 268 pounds, that was not good.
	So when Dr. Ashley Lucas came to me with her MyPhD weight loss program, Wow, was I grateful.
	I lost 42 pounds in just a matter of months.
	More importantly, my muse, my wife, lost 36.
	And when your wife is happy that she has to buy a new wardrobe, You're a happy man.
	Look at that.
	That was a handmade, tailor-made waistcoat.
	It was like for a 400-pound walrus.
	I had to get a new set of suits as well, and that's a great feeling.
	I haven't been a size 36 jean since I was in my 20s.
	That could be you, because if I can do it, anyone can.
	I got a wicked sweet tooth, and I love my fried food.

	Check it out today.
	You won't regret it.
	All right.
	How serious is... You have these incredible videos on YouTube about fatherhood, manhood.
	I presume there's a reason why you launched that, why you post the shorter versions on Twitter.
	How serious, Nick, Is the assault on classic masculinity in our civilization today?
	Existential.
	It's absolutely critical because you cannot have, I don't think you can have a safe, secure, prosperous and free society unless you actually have men that are not only equipped, not only possess the capability and the capacity to defend it, but also have the moral certainty that you were mentioning before.
	That is such an important part of this equation that I think gets ignored.
	You know, I talk sometimes about this idea that the cycle, right, it's the good men create, you know, or what is it strong men create good times, good times create weak men, weak men create bad times, bad times create strong.
	Here's what I tell people.
	There's an element of that's true.
	But if you're the sort of man that's waiting around for the bad times to create strong men, you are the weak man.
	Yes, you are the weak man.
	What happens during bad times is that all of a sudden that traditional, that classical concept of masculinity gets appreciated again.
	In the good times, people just think, well, this is just the natural order.
	This is just the way things exist.
	We've moved beyond.
	No, we don't.
	Human nature is what it is.
	And if you don't have men that actually understand what their role is in order to protect and provide, first for their families and then later for their countries, well, then you're going to end up being ruled by some pretty hellacious men.
	And so I believe that this whole, and I believe it's intentional.
	I don't believe it's accidental that we're running into this whole concept of toxic masculinity, which, you know, we can all agree that there's certain male attributes that if used improperly can be toxic.
	That's true of femininity as well.
	But they're trying to make it a much broader category.
	And I think it's because they want weak, docile men.
	Weak, docile men are easy to control.
	What do you think is the, to use the military term, the center of gravity for that assault?
	You said it's intentional.
	Is it a political party?
	Is it an academic leaning?
	Is it the media?
	Is it Hollywood?
	If you had to identify one key driver, Nick, what would it be?
	I think it's an ideological movement.
	And I think a lot of it is rooted in critical theory coming out of the Frankfurt School.
	I think a lot of it's rooted in concepts of postmodernism and deconstructionism.
	But what needs to be understood is that you can't point to a single person or an entity or a government It's a combination of factors, and different people have tried to articulate this.
	Some people call it the cathedral, some people call it the matrix, whatever it is.
	But essentially, I think you have an ideological movement that is rooted around this idea that many of the aspects within Western culture are not noble, they're not good, they're evil, they're bigoted, they're racist, they're patriarchal power structures that are designed to prop up the oppressors at the expense of the oppressed.
	Okay, well, if you if you honestly believe that, well, then you're going to try to dismantle it.
	And how are you going to try to dismantle it?
	Well, going after things like the traditional family, which Karl Marx hated the traditional family, he thought it stood in the way of the new socialist, progressive human we are going to create.
	So you have to tear down elements of the family.
	You have to take over institutions.
	Gramsci talked about this in Italy, a famous Italian socialist, on the march to the institutions.
	You have to control the culturally shaping institutions within our culture, which are traditionally things like the church, arts and entertainment, academia, the media.
	And then a big part of that is the family.
	And again, if you have a nation of weak, docile men that are not willing to stand up and fight for anything because that would be considered toxic, well, it becomes really, really easy to separate individuals from the family, individuals from the church, individuals from their history.
	And then you replace, you basically essentially replace The narrative that, hey, we have a shared history and there's problems with it, but overall, when you look at the United States, it has been a force for good, and the principles that we were built upon are noble.
	If you replace that with, no, it was a bunch of rich slave owners that wanted to avoid their taxes, and no, our system of equality before the law and private property rights and free market economics, these are just systems put in place to oppress people.
	Well, then once you've robbed people of their connection with the past, and then you rob them of their identity associated with, you know, their family, God and everything else, that's a person that now has an identity crisis.
	Sorry, go ahead.
	Go ahead.
	You can take a person with identity crisis, and they're incredibly vulnerable, they feel isolated, and then you replace everything they knew with your own ideology, your own philosophical ideology.
	And you basically give them New measures of what it means to fit in, to be noble, to be virtuous, to be brave.
	I mean, that's why you see ridiculous things like a guy pretending to be a woman and then all of a sudden they're stunning and brave.
	For doing what?
	What did they do that was stunning or brave?
	And the answer is nothing.
	Nothing by any sort of traditional definition.
	It's the new definition.
	This is the new definition of stunning and brave.
	And it's there to replace the old definition.
	One of my theories, I'll ask your opinion on it later in the hour, of why the 45th president, and God willing the 47th if we do our part, is hated so much, is because he represents that kind of masculinity that is deemed toxic.
	And that is why he must be stopped.
	Here, it's one of the things we wish all of our listeners to do.

	G-O-R-K-A.
	All right, my favorite question of the manhood hour.
	If you're lucky, it's your dad, but for some people it isn't.
	It's their football coach.
	It's a fictional character from a novel.
	Who for you, Nick Hradus?
	Most embodied and helped you understand the values of what it means to be a man.
	Who was your role model?
	My father was very influential, very influential in that process.
	He was a homicide detective with the LAPD and my mom and dad got divorced when I was three.
	So I got to spend the summers with my dad and I would go down there and I would just ask him stories and he would He would take me along.
	Sometimes he would take me into work.
	I remember being, I think it was 13 or 14 years old and going into the department with my father.
	And, um, you know, I always saw my dad as a, as a tough guy, but obviously around me, you know, he was, you know, very friendly and whatnot.
	And, um, I remember seeing one moment where, uh, it wasn't a dangerous situation, but it was a situation where he had to be very much in command of the situation.
	And you saw kind of this other side.
	I saw the splash of this other side of my father where it was like, OK, my dad has a capacity for something here that he uses to.
	I see the protection side of it, but other people see the opposite side of it.
	The other person, too, was my both my grandfathers were great.
	I used to spend a lot of time again because my dad's dad actually lived closer to me.
	My dad was 500 miles away.
	My grandfather was five miles away.
	And so I spent a lot of time with my grandparents as well, and my grandfathers.
	And I remember spending a lot of time in my grandpa's den.
	And we would go in there, and he would talk about running away from home when he was 16 to join the Navy after Pearl Harbor.
	He would talk about being a logger.
	He would talk about being a firefighter.
	One of the most just likable human beings.
	Everybody just loved Bill Freitas.
	And so I did have the benefit, even though I would have had to obviously like to have more time with my father growing up, we were still to this day very, very close.
	And so I did have, I had the blessing of men that taught me how to be strong and how to be responsible, but also, and this is very important, also how to be tender with the people that you love.
	And one of the things that taught me, and my wife actually used that word when I was trying to describe it, I was talking about how men don't like to be vulnerable.
	And she's like, babe, I know you don't want to be vulnerable.
	What I love is how tender you are with myself, with the girls, with our son.
	And that's the point.
	I think that one of the things that makes for a secure family is when they have a father that everyone in that family knows is capable of protecting, providing, and leading, but shows a special tenderness for the important people in their lives.
	It's no surprise you grew up to be a First Sergeant with the First Special Forces Group, surrounded by homicide detectives and men who'd served in the Navy, firefighters and loggers.
	And it's funny that you say what you say about seeing that glimpse of danger once with your dad.
	We've heard that as a recurring theme in our manhood hours, and for me it's exactly the same.
	bear, I mean a bear of a man and you know he worked down a prison coal mine in
	communist Hungary he was on the national crew team I mean just a huge bear of a
	man so he could crush you with his little finger but I never saw him use
	violence ever except there was this one moment when somebody maybe
	inadvertently physically threatened the safety of my my mother and myself as a
	child and it was like a nanosecond just something switched in him and I saw this
	this thing this person this warrior come from nowhere and it was like oh yeah that that's that's the side of dad that uh he keeps uh under control and only deploys when necessary so that is a fascinating recurring theme we're talking to virginia state delegate Buddy, Nick Freitas.

	Alright, second cut please.
	Alright, I don't know what young man needs to hear this, but here it goes.
	The capacity for aggression and physical violence, these are not manifestations of toxic masculinity.
	In fact, they're very necessary attributes, but they are morally neutral, and here's what I mean by that.
	If you're the sort of man that hits a woman and takes her purse, that's a negative manifestation of aggression and physical violence.
	If you're the sort of man that observes someone doing that and immediately intervenes and use a little bit of physical force in order to protect her, that's a positive manifestation.
	Now, unfortunately, there's a lot of people that seem to be confused and they lump all these things together in a broad category called toxic masculinity.
	But that's garbage.
	It's not confusing.
	You have to develop certain capabilities to be able to use, oftentimes in dangerous situations.
	What you also need to develop along with those attributes is a strong moral compass that informs you on when they should be used and when they shouldn't.
	And it really is that simple.
	That's from our guest Nick Freitas' Twitter feed.
	Follow him today, Nick J. Freitas, his YouTube channel as well.
	I think that's what Jordan Peterson calls the capacity that a man has to be dangerous.
	Not every day, not wantonly, but has to have the capacity for danger when it is warranted.
	Would you fill out for us, if you're looking forward to saving the next generation, what would be on Freitas' syllabus for 10-year-old boys?
	In addition to, you know, knowing when violence is applicable and when it isn't, what are the core characteristics for true manhood, Nick?
	Well, for me, my faith is absolutely integral to every piece of it because it actually provides a framework for objective morality and objective truth.
	And that's critical, because if you don't actually have that moral framework, then the capacity or the capabilities that you develop can be very easily manipulated to do something wrong.
	The other thing is, is that I think young men need to be tested.
	We do a series of videos on our YouTube channel.
	I did one on why dads should be dangerous.
	I did another one on raising boys to be men.
	And one of the things that I talk about is that as a father with your son, you're essentially raising your replacement.
	Yes.
	And you need to, there needs to be rites of passage.
	There needs to be challenges.
	There needs to be difficulties that young men face.
	They need to be age appropriate.
	But they need to be spiritual, emotional, and physical challenges that they have to face, overcome, and occasionally fail at.
	Um, so that they can actually develop a capacity for not only understanding what it actually takes to be a good man, but they can actually desire it.
	Um, we actually did a video a while back, uh, and I had a mother asked me, she goes, do you have any advice for a mom raising a boy?
	I said, yeah, I kind of do.
	I said, one of the things I'm going to tell you is that when you're, when your boy is little, right, he's going to run to mommy.
	I mean, you know, the whole deal, right?
	You kiss the booboos, you make it all better.
	And that's wonderful.
	And it's a way for you to bond.
	But as your son gets older, One of the things he's really going to desire is respect.
	Yeah.
	And men don't feel respected when we're made to feel vulnerable.
	We feel respected when we feel powerful, when we feel capable.
	And one of the pieces of advice I gave to moms was, as your boy gets a little bit older, have them help you do things, lift the heavy things, have them open the door for you, have them, you know, untighten the pickle jar, whatever it is.
	Like if you hear a noise outside, ask your son to look out the window to make sure it's OK, because what you're doing is you're calling out that man In the proper context, he's now putting himself in the position of protecting his mother.
	And that's how you foster some of these things within young men so that it becomes natural.
	They already want to do it.
	And they're going to do it, right?
	That capacity for violence, that capacity for aggression, that capacity for competitiveness, it is going to manifest itself one of two ways.
	It can do it positively or it can do it negatively.
	Right.
	You want to channel it into the right direction and where it's appropriate.
	This thing of rites of passage is so important.
	You said your son's about to turn 18.
	So my son, who's now a huge hulk of a man, he's taller than me, 6 foot 5.
	He's a former D1 athlete.
	From the age of about 14 to 18, on his birthday, we'd sit down in the breakfast room shirtless and we'd arm wrestle on his birthday.
	and I'd beat him like right every year until he got to 18 and he was on the crew team and it was like it was like three minutes of this and we said okay that's a draw and I saluted him and I said what my dad said to me when I came home late one day and it was waiting up for me and I was about 20 and my dad was big guy he looked up at me because I'm 6'2 and he was 6 foot and he said Bigger and stronger as it should be.
	This goes exactly to your point.
	We are preparing our replacements.
	That's our job as fathers.
	You talked about the cycle of weak men, hard times, hard times, strong men, strong men and then, you know, lassitude.
	Can we fix what we're witnessing, this war on masculinity from the ground up, Nick?
	Can we do it?
	Or will the hard times have to be imposed upon us?
	Are we going to need a war, for example, for us to get back to what it should be?
	Can we fix it by ourselves without a crisis?
	The cycle suggests it's very difficult, but I do think it's possible.
	And I think part of the reason why it's possible is it's amazing that if you look at the recent polling for high school boys and high school girls, High school girls are more liberal than they have ever been in the last 40 years.
	And high school boys are more conservative than they've ever been in the last 40 years.
	And I think it's because something inside them is telling them that the narrative that they're getting from popular culture is trash.
	And so they're looking for people to be able to provide guidance.
	And I'll tell you what, not everyone out there providing guidance on masculinity is doing a very good job of it.
	I believe that as a man you are supposed to, again, protect and defend the innocent.
	You're not supposed to take advantage of women.
	You're not supposed to rack up a high body count.
	You're supposed to... You're not supposed to be Andrew Tate basically running internet whorehouses.
	No.
	No.
	You are supposed to be...
	Make yourself capable.
	And by that, I mean spiritually, emotionally, intellectually and physically.
	Make yourself capable.
	Go out there, find an incredible woman that just completely changes your world.
	I found her at 19.
	I feel incredibly blessed by that fact.
	But I will tell you this much.
	When you get married and you have that special bond and relationship with your wife, that's when the adventure begins.
	It's not all this other garbage that people are doing, running out, doing this stuff.
	That's when the adventure begins.
	Raise kids.
	Be responsible.
	Do difficult things.
	Do challenging things.
	Do things that you might fail at, because then you're going to learn to get back up.
	And you're going to learn that, you know what?
	Failing sucks.
	I don't want to do that anymore.
	And you're going to make yourself even more capable so you don't.
	That's the key part is I think more and more young men are recognizing that the narrative they've been fed doesn't work.
	Yeah.
	And so the question is, is where are they going to look?
	And if enough men who have it at least figured out to the extent that we can point at our relationships with our wives, with our children, we can look at our career, we can look at things we've done and we said, okay, look, this is what I did and this is why it worked.
	Yeah.
	And this is your responsibility as a man.
	And again, for me, my faith is integral to that.
	I can't separate the two.
	We're talking to Nick Freitas.

	It's the one I use.
	It's called Patriot Mobile.

	Do it today.
	You won't regret it.
	PatriotMobile.com slash Gawker.
	All right, Millie Cut.
	In the broader sense, the war was lost.
	We were fighting the Taliban and their allies for 20 plus years.
	And they prevailed in that capital for a lot of reasons that we don't have time to go over today.
	But sure, lots of regrets by a lot of us from 9-11 on.
	Wars aren't lost in the last 10 days or 10 months.
	Typically they're the cumulative effect of lots of Turns and twists over many many years and this war when the final history is written will prove to be the same
	I'm not going to put words in your mouth, Nick, but for me that is a disgrace to the uniform.
	That fat political hack, Mark Milley, who said we lost the war in Afghanistan.
	Well, if we did, it was under your purview as Chairman of the Joint Chiefs and you didn't resign.
	I want to ask you a little bit of a different question.
	Well, it's not different.
	It goes to honor, which has to be part of manhood.
	I'm seeing a politicization of the U.S.
	military That disturbs me deeply, because it's one thing to see, you know, the politicization of the Navy or the Air Force.
	We know the Air Force Academy was the first, you know, college, first military academy that actually had a pagan Wiccan temple built, and that was over a decade ago.
	But when my friends, people I trust, people I've worked with for years at Fort Bragg, are telling me about how they are having to succumb to political correctness, How concerned are you that the last institution of manhood in its ultimate sense is being corrupted at its core?
	I think, you know, watching General Milley explain what happened in Afghanistan, it's like, yeah, if you want to know how to lose a war, put guys like General Milley in charge.
	That's a great way to start.
	I find, you know, what's funny about that is that he was in special forces.
	And I've gone out to so many community chats and groups that I'm friends with.
	I'm like, does anybody know, like, who's served with Millie?
	I haven't found one person that had anything good to say about him.
	And that's incredible, because you can always find somebody that has something good to say about a guy like, ah, you know, he was better as a team sergeant, but he got worse as he went up in the ranks or whatnot.
	Nope, not one person.
	Yeah, what's happening in the military right now is absolutely disgraceful.
	And quite frankly, it's taking place and it's being presided over by people that should know better.
	Are you worried for the Brotherhood of Bragg?
	Which for me will always be Bragg.
	It's not Camp Liberty.
	It's Bragg.
	Are you worried for the Brotherhood?
	Oh yeah, absolutely.
	Absolutely.
	We started, you know, it was one thing when it was just overly bureaucratic and it was difficult to get out there and do your job.
	Right now we're talking about a scenario where people are asking you to repeat and engage in obvious lies.
	Yeah.
	And I can't stand that because, you know, there's an author, he worked in the British National Healthcare Service and his pen name is Theodore Dalrymple.
	Oh, he's amazing.
	He's a psychiatrist in the prisons in the UK.
	Yes, I think his actual name is Anthony, I think it's Daniels.
	And he has this quote that I love where he said, the more I studied communist propaganda, the more I realized it wasn't designed to inform, it was designed to humiliate and intimidate.
	And so therefore, the less it corresponded with reality, the more effective it was.
	Because if you can get someone to first remain silent, And then to repeat what they know to be obvious lies, you make them a party to evil.
	And then he finished it by saying, a nation of emasculated liars is easy to control.
	And to watch them doing this to the people within the military, the very people we depend upon, to go into incredibly dangerous situations, risk their lives and fight, to make them repeat lies in order to appease some sort of, you know, political trend.
	is absolutely absurd.
	And to watch senior military officials, who damn well should know better, do it?
	This would have been your moment to stand up and say, President Biden, I'm sorry, this goes against what I believe, and I can no longer serve as a result of this.
	What did you need?
	You're not getting any more stars.
	You're going to get paid fine when you get out of the military.
	What was the reason why you had to stand in and do this?
	It's either because you believe it, in which case you're part of the ideological problem, or you're a coward, in which case you're even worse.
	Yeah, I think I know which one it is.
	I think it is the latter.
	And as was proven, November 9th, 1989, as was proven, In the captive nations of the Eastern Bloc, as Václav Havel said, as Solzhenitsyn, as Sharansky wrote, one man telling the truth can eventually lead to the collapse of the house of lies.
	That's why it's upon us.
	That's why honor matters.
	Final analysis, and Nick Freitas, on all of these issues we've discussed, where do you stand?
	Are you an optimist?
	Are you a pessimist?
	Can we turn it around?
	Can we save America?
	And really, it's bigger than America, because America is simply the pinnacle of Western civilization.
	Can we save the civilization?
	The Warsaw speech, the most important speech President Trump ever gave.
	I was honored to be part of framing it.
	The most important sentence in the Warsaw speech is that he's standing there next to the site of the ghetto uprising.
	He said, the only question that matters is whether or not we as a civilization have the willpower to defend ourselves from those who would destroy our civilization.
	Are you an optimist, Nick Freitas?
	Being a Christian, I definitely believe we win in the end.
	Well, we know that.
	We know that.
	I'm talking about down here.
	But I know, but the reason why I start with that is because I think one of the problems with the way that we ask this question is that we ask it from the sense, and I'm not saying you're doing this, but I've had a lot of people do it where it's, if we can win, I'll fight.
	Here's what I'm going to tell you.
	I'm fighting regardless.
	Yeah.
	I am fighting regardless.
	Maybe we can win.
	Maybe we can't.
	But I will tell you this, it will have no bearing on what I do.
	And that's part of the problem.
	They think they can discourage us into stop fighting.
	They think they can get us to believe that it's so inevitable that nothing can be done about it.
	And what I want them to know is the only thing inevitable with respect to me is I will fight them.
	That's it.
	I will fight them.
	There's nothing they can do about that.
	I will fight to save my kids, to save my wife, to save my family, to save my community, to save my country.
	That's it.
	Nothing changes with that.
	And we need more people that have that mindset.
	Stop asking are you going to win and start being the sort of person that can ensure that it's a possibility.
	I think we've just added a codicil to the only two sure things in life are death and taxes.
	The third one is that people like Nick Freitas, well, we're just going to fight.
	Whatever happens, we're going to fight.
	And if they find us on a mound of hot brass, so be it.
	The social media platforms, YouTube, everywhere else, is Nick J. Freitas.
	He is the Virginia State Delegate for the 30th District, former Green Beret.
	God bless you, Nick Freitas.
	Keep doing what you do.
	I'm Sebastian Gorka.
	You've been listening to the Manhood Hour.
	Wherever you are, whatever you're doing, keep your head on a swivel.
	Watch your six.
	Hold the line.
	Never give up.
	Never give in.
