	♪♪ ♪♪
	This race is over.
	Donald Trump will be the nominee.
	They might as well quit having the various debates because they don't work.
	They're not helping anybody.
	And I think that's where we are.
	I think Trump will be the nominee.
	And the question now for everybody is, do you want to see Joe Biden reelected or do you want to help Donald Trump?
	But all these folks are good people.
	It wasn't that any of them were bad people.
	It is that none of them is in the same league as Donald Trump, and none of them is in a position to say with a straight face, I can take on the entire national establishment, have them beat me up for eight years, and still be cheerfully out here campaigning.
	Trump is a phenomenon.
	He's unlike anything I've seen.
	Unlike anything I've ever seen, that's a good way to start the Friday show, that's a man who revolutionized the Congress with his deal with America, Speaker Newt Gingrich, and he's saying after decades in politics he hasn't seen anything, anything at all, Like President Trump and the movement behind him?
	Now the fascinating thing is it's not just, you know, the smartest people in politics, like Newt Gingrich.
	It's even podcasters with massive reach.
	Eric, what is the reach now of Joe Rogan?
	What is it, like 100 million subscribers?
	Something absurd, isn't it?
	It's definitely close to the 100 million range, I would think.
	Millions of listeners and viewers per episode.
	If you add, you know, YouTube with a podcast, it's gargantuan.
	It's absolutely gargantuan.
	And I believe this was from the interview with the person whose podcast I was on not too long ago, Patrick Bet-David.
	And it's a cut from something a few months ago that has gone viral again.
	Now, remember, let's put this in context.
	Newt Gingrich, you know, rock-ribbed conservative, revolutionized modern conservative politics under his speakership.
	So, he's saying this about President Trump, and then we have a guy who, well, what's the best way to describe Joe Rogan politically?
	He's like a Bernie Bro kinda weirdo libertarian, right?
	I mean, am I wrong, Eric Addix?
	Chime in here.
	What adjectives would you use politically for Joe Rogan?
	I would say a normie left libertarian.
	A normie left libertarian.
	Alex is hiding behind his screen.
	He's giving me a thumbs up on radio.
	Libertarian.
	Libertarian?
	Yeah, but a libertarian who likes leftists like Bernie, right?
	So this is a guy who liked Bernie, said he was going to vote for him, had him on his show.
	He's a gun guy, a hunter, you know, all the meat, Atkins diet, all kinds of stuff.
	He's no friend of Donald Trump's.
	He's actually refused for, what, over a year now to have President Trump on his podcast.
	I don't know why.
	And this is what he said to Patrick David.
	Play the cut.
	If you run against Trump, you're now the enemy of Trump.
	If I was friends with DeSantis, I'd be like, don't do it.
	You can't beat that guy.
	You just can't.
	When that guy gets out there and he's waving to people and they're going crazy, you're not beating that.
	And the fact that he was the president for four years, and the country was in a great economic situation, and it looked like his policies were actually effective, and that it looked like the unemployment was down, business was building, regulations were being relaxed, more things were getting done.
	You know, when you look at it from a policy perspective, if you just look at it on paper, what he did was effective.
	A lot of people think it was effective.
	You don't like him as a personality, so you ignore that.
	Don't do that.
	Look at it in terms of a policy perspective.
	People liked the ideas that he was putting forward.
	Okay, so we've got 80 pound brain, Newt Gingrich, rock rib conservative.
	We've got a strange kind of Bernie bro libertarian says, sorry, what are you doing Ron DeSantis?
	Are you insane?
	You can't beat this guy.
	Just the way he connects with audiences in a stadium and his track record in the White House.
	And then we'll add one more individual who's, again, completely different category.
	Not a politician, not an incredibly successful podcaster, one of the richest men in the world, who's an entrepreneur, who's probably on the scale himself, who's revolutionized, you know, the space program in the private sector.
	Eric, did you think that Elon Musk was going to go down to the border with his iPhone and film stuff?
	I did not.
	I was pleasantly surprised.
	I said on Twitter, I'm like, his red pill journey is coming along very smoothly.
	He's talking about transgenderism and censorship and now he's talking about the mass migration crisis.
	Yeah, absolutely.
	That's a great way to put it.
	It is the red-pilled journey of one of the most powerful men in the private sector in the world today.
	What does he do yesterday?
	He goes down to the border.
	Meets with a local congressman and just starts filming himself and telling the truth at Eagle Pass.
	Cut to.
	Yeah, so here we are at Eagle Pass and we're going to be meeting with the major officials and law enforcement responsible for the water.
	Yes, I'm Tony Gonzalez.
	I'm the local congressman here in the district.
	My district is 823 miles of the southern border.
	Places like Eagle Pass, El Paso, Uvalde, Del Rio.
	We've been at the epicenter of this border crisis.
	What I'd really like to share is a lot of my sheriffs and local elected officials are being forgotten.
	Their stories aren't getting out.
	Weird terminology.
	My sheriffs, you're a local congressman.
	You don't have sheriffs, okay?
	You're not a local politician at the sheriff county level.
	You're a congressman.
	But anyway, analyze this.
	Elon Musk went to the border.
	Why would a guy, you know, Mr. Tesla, Mr. private space programs, let's go to Mars, Mr. I bought Twitter and fired, you know, the woke Oristas.
	He fired another bunch of them yesterday.
	And he goes to the border?
	What's happening in America?
	I think the phrase red-pilling is the most apt.
	Rogan?
	Musk?
	Who next?
	Who next?
	Is somebody else going to come out of the closet and say, yeah, you know what?
	I'm not a politician, but I love America and I'm not going to bite my tongue anymore.
	I'm going to speak the truth.
	We must capitalize on this.
	This is incredibly significant.
	Newt is right.
	So's Rogan.
	And God bless Elon for going down there and saying, I just want to show the world.
	I've got millions of people who follow me.
	I own one of the most influential platforms in the new media environment.
	And I want to tell the truth.
	What does this mean?
	What's the so what of this all for us?
	You don't have to be a multi-billionaire entrepreneur, a former Speaker of the House, or the biggest podcaster in the world.
	But you need to do what they're doing.
	And what are they doing?
	They're standing up for the truth.
	They're saying, I can't be silent anymore.
	This is wrong.
	And we need somebody to fix it.
	Oh, and there's somebody who already fixed it.
	And the point that was yesterday, no, it was for the debate that Jennifer made.
	This is, this is like a gut punch for me.
	I should have said this for the last two and a half years.
	President Trump, what he did, did what he did, all of the things that Rogan just enumerated, the economy, the border, everything else, the deregulation, the jobs, he did it all in two years, not four years!
	That's remarkable!
	He did it all before Covid hit, before Communist China unleashed The Chinese population on the world who were infected.
	Oh yeah, they closed down travel inside China after the Wuhan outbreak, but they let their citizens seed the world with that disease that killed millions.
	President Trump did it all before that.
	And that's why we need him back.
	Stand with President Trump today.
	They're trying to put him in prison.
	We've taken the booking photograph, the mugshot, and put it on a t-shirt with a very simple phrase, Trump 2024.
	There's a reason it's the hottest item on our website, because you guys have had enough.
	Go to SebGorkaStore.com today, that's S-E-B-G-O-R-K-A-Store.com, and support the President directly at DonaldJTrump.com, that's DonaldJTrump.com.
	And don't forget, To subscribe to the podcast.
	leave us a 5 star review and share the links with your friends.
	Peace.
	Oh, OK, it's Boris.
	He's gone.
	Want me to call Boris?
	Lots of, um, thingy, um, impeachment.
	Oh, yeah.
	B-roll.
	Alright, Biden, Comer.
	Oh, where's Jeff?
	He's gone.
	Want me to call Boris?
	Um, you can give him a minute.
	Let me get some stuff then.
	Come in with 12.
	12.
	Actually, no, I'll tee it up.
	It's so short that I'll tee it up first.
	And then I'll do PhD and then we'll go to Boris.
	Tee up 12 and then PhD.
	And then yeah, I think Jeff just came back.
	Title for that one.
	When when Musk Rogan and you all agree.
	No, when Elon Musk Joe Rogan and Newt Gingrich all agree.
	Gingrich all agree.
	Yeah.
	Play me three again and and for.
	Bye.
	Three...
	That's why I'm desperate enough to think maybe I should do it.
	And I'll tell you why.
	Because let's say that somebody like me gets in the race.
	Yeah.
	Democratic voters are dying for an alternative.
	They keep saying in every poll, for God's sake, give us someone else.
	Give us someone else.
	If someone like me were to get to 20 points, do you have any idea how quick Newsom and Whitmer would enter the race?
	So are you seriously considering it?
	Yeah, I'm considering it.
	What a clown.
	It concerns me about House Republicans' priorities.
	It also concerns me about the public perception of our party being able to run the U.S.
	House.
	I think that there is nothing worse than a shutdown.
	I think this is embarrassment.
	We knew that September 30th was coming for a long time.
	We should have been talking in July about a continuing resolution.
	It doesn't have to be done on the eve of a shutdown.
	Alright, I'm gonna use that with Boris.
	Okay, and he's on the line, Mike's on.
	Oh, Geoff, can you, um, dig up for, you don't have to break your neck over it, that Jasmine, what's her face?
	Oh, the, the, the Black Congresswoman.
	Where she said, in the shitter.
	Can you get a beeped version of that?
	Yeah, that's gonna take a while.
	He says, yeah, it'll take a while.
	Yeah, yeah.
	I gotta get the other thing first.
	And he's gotta get the other thing first.
	Alright.
	Um, Boris is on.
	Boris!
	Hello, hello!
	Are we gonna have some fun?
	We're gonna have a lot of fun.
	You gonna have cigars this weekend?
	That's the plan, I mean, that's the plan.
	I'm sending you a tweet, Eric, from Josh Hawley, okay?
	Oh boy.
	That I intend to roast.
	Alright.
	Yep.
	All right.
	Working on it.
	Oh, so you said you'll tee up 12.
	Yeah, I'll tee up 12.
	That's right.
	Oh, super short.
	Okay.
	You gonna smoke some, my friend?
	I think I have to this weekend.
	I'm in the mood.
	I'm in the mood.
	Me too.
	My friend Claven gave me a couple of Davidoffs, which are great.
	I never buy them because they're so expensive.
	Oh, I love them.
	Stand by.
	I know Sebastian well.
	Listen to him.
	He's with us.
	Thank you, Mr. President.
	Did you hear what the current incumbent just said?
	It's incredible.
	They deny, they deny that this guy has cognitive issues.
	He's a senile.
	He can't even say the simplest of things.
	This is a really long cut.
	It's eight seconds and he makes like four mistakes.
	Cut 12.
	And we are all created equal.
	Endowed by our, in the image of God, endowed by our creator to be able to treat it equally throughout our lives.
	Endowed by our Creator with the ability to be treated equal throughout our lives.
	I'm not sure that's the quote.
	Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear.
	We will analyze that and so much more with our first guest of the day momentarily.
	But first things first, could you lose a few pounds?
	Have you given up on being the healthiest you could be?
	I had after 20 years of, you know, dieting a little bit, losing, and then putting it all back on.
	And then I met Dr. Ashley Lucas and her amazing MyPhD weight loss team.
	I lost 42 pounds in just a matter of months.
	My wife lost 36.
	My colleague Mike Gallagher lost 53!
	Look, he had more to lose, but let's respect that.
	53 pounds.
	A system with no stupid pill popping, calorie counting, or starvation diets.
	Five meals a day that help you burn the fat.
	I'm so happy.
	My wife's even more ecstatic.
	Can you imagine your wife having to buy, you know, a whole new wardrobe because everything's just like a tent?
	Yeah.
	Happy wife, happy life.
	Call right now, 864-644-1900, myphdweightloss.com.
	That's 864-644-1900, myphdweightloss.com.
	It's that time of the week.
	We've got to check in with my old White House colleague.
	He is attorney and senior advisor to President Trump today.
	We just call him the Baron, Boris Epstein.
	Welcome back to America First.
	Thank you so much, Sebastian.
	An honor to be with you, an honor to be with the audience.
	It's a great day.
	It is a great day.
	I wish to... I don't want to put words in your mouth.
	I don't want to get you in trouble.
	We don't rehearse what we say here on America First, but I didn't mention at the top of the show, but the news of course this morning was that the The longest-serving female senator has passed at the age of 90, Dianne Feinstein.
	And there is this rule, allegedly, in etiquette, that, uh, say only nice things or nothing of the dead.
	I'm not sure I can say that because Josh Hawley posted this six hours ago.
	I guess Erin is his wife.
	This is his tweet.
	Erin and I were saddened to hear of the death of Senator Feinstein.
	It has been an honor to serve with her in the Senate and on the Judiciary Committee.
	No one was more welcoming when I came to the Senate than she, and no one was a better example.
	She was tough, incredibly smart and effective, always working across the aisle to get things done.
	She was a person of unquestioned integrity.
	I admired her and will miss her in the Senate.
	Erin and I send our deepest condolences to her family.
	I quote tweeted Senator Hawley thusly.
	Senator had such integrity, Josh, that she still pretended to be a senator after signing her power of attorney over to her daughter.
	I know the rule is speak no ill of the dead, but this cringe hagiography is obscene.
	At least we know what's important to you.
	I just can't stand this, Boris.
	The idea that a woman who tried to bully Lisa Murkowski into voting against Justice Kavanaugh onto the Supreme Court, it's just not odd to say she's wonderful working across the aisles!
	Oh, and by the way, who had a Chinese spy as her chauffeur for 19 years and didn't resign after that.
	Sebastian, I agree.
	And here's what I would say.
	This is somebody, and you know, rest in peace and God rest her soul, this is somebody who absolutely perpetrated a personal false attack against Justice Kavanaugh that deeply hurt him and his family and America.
	She played this game and it was a complete and utter embarrassment.
	So I would have advised somebody to maybe go with nothing instead of that soliloquy, let's put it that way.
	But, you know, everybody makes their own decisions.
	Here's my perspective.
	If somebody doesn't truly work across the aisle, if somebody isn't truly an example, why say that?
	Don't say it!
	Just don't say it!
	You're totally right.
	The Chinese spy thing's pretty bad.
	The idea, if you had honour, if you know that you've actually been divulging secrets to your chauffeur for 19 years, the honourable thing would have been to resign.
	But instead, the idea, just this once, forget everything else, the bullying of Murkowski, everything else, the fact that...
	A month ago, she signs over her power of attorney to her daughter because she's not compass mentis, and then she stays in the Senate.
	What kind of message do you actually send your constituents in California, Boris?
	The message to all of America is that it doesn't really matter who is in that seat, right?
	That's the matter.
	That's the message.
	And I think it's extremely troubling.
	So, you know, now I'd be interested to see what happens out there in California.
	But here's what we know for sure.
	We know that the liberals will try to take that seat and drive it as far left as possible.
	Do you think they're going to give it to Kamala?
	What do you think of all these conspiracy theories that they're going to push Kamala into that seat?
	You know, at this point, I'm willing to believe that the Democrats would do anything to try to rescue themselves.
	The polling was so terrible, and President Donald J. Trump is running away with it, including in this post-debate polling when he's totally crushing it.
	So, hey, maybe they...
	Maybe they take a look and say, hey, Kamala, go back into the Senate and then tell Joe to go find his house on the prairie or whatever it is and try to remind him where he is.
	They're in a complete meltdown.
	It's a total disaster for the Democrats.
	President Trump is dominating.
	I mean, that huge poll over the weekend, ABC, Washington Post, where he's up by 10.
	The other polls are showing him up Well, let's talk about the next 48 hours in America.
	Ken Buck, you know who he is, was on CNN of course, and he's ringing the doom bell.
	They've ruined our economy, they've ruined our energy, and we need President Donald Trump
	in office to save our country.
	Well let's talk about the next 48 hours in America.
	Ken Buck, you know who he is, was on CNN of course, and he's ringing the doom bell.
	Cut for.
	It concerns me about how Republicans' priorities...
	It also concerns me about the public perception of our party being able to run the U.S.
	House.
	I think that there is nothing worse than a shutdown.
	I think this is embarrassment.
	We knew that September 30th was coming for a long time.
	We should have been talking in July about a continuing resolution.
	It doesn't have to be done on the eve of a shutdown.
	There's nothing worse than a government shutdown.
	Ah, you know, forget Pearl Harbour or 9-11.
	Nothing worse than a shutdown or Covid.
	Boris, why are rhinos always so afraid of government shutdowns?
	Why can't they spin like the left does?
	Because they want the spigot to continue.
	Yes.
	The Rihannas want the money to keep flowing.
	And where's the money coming from?
	From the pockets of the American people.
	We cannot continue this giveaway, this bonanza that is happening in Washington.
	And that is what the Republican constituents, the MAGA movement, have sent these members out there to do, to stop the spigot.
	And if they're going out of the way, maybe they belong as a contributor on CNN, not as a member of Congress.
	Yeah, he's not making it up.
	That is what the papers are saying, that Ken Buck, Rhino Extraordinaire, is auditioning for a permanent gig on CNN.
	Don't let the door hit you on the way out.
	Good luck.
	Good riddance and good luck.
	And perfectly put, I asked a simple question, he gave a very good answer.
	They don't want the spigot of our money to stop flowing.
	Follow him right now.
	Go to his website BorisEP.com.
	Follow him at BorisEP or Boris underscore Epstein.

	Polls show that Joe Biden is really underwater when it comes to approval on the economy, approval on immigration and the border, when it comes to approval in almost every realm.
	I mean, he's really facing, I think it's some of the worst polling for an incumbent president since Jimmy Carter.
	That's got to sting.
	Didn't he work for Jimmy Carter?
	Tapper was a Democrat staffer.
	I don't know how old he is, but the worst polling for a Democrat president since, do you remember?
	You had to, depending on whether your license tag ended in an odd and even number, was the day that you could buy gas in America.
	We have to ration gas!
	And Biden's at the same level.
	That must have hurt Jake Tapper to say that.
	Dear friends, if you love what we do for you here on America First, support those who make it possible.
	Great patriots like Mike Lindell.
	Friends of President Trump.
	The left hate him.
	They want to destroy him.
	He's celebrating 20 years of my pillow.
	How did that happen?
	He's got some amazing offers on the queen size right now, but did you know he's got more than 150 other items on his website?
	From the MyPillow pet beds that my two Belgian shepherds Leah and Killian love, to my favorites, the sheepskin lined slippers, pajamas, so much more.

	You know he's not a politician.
	You know he's a citizen first.
	When something important happens and we reach out to him, he makes time that very day to come on the show.
	And when we run out of time, because life comes at you fast, He says, yeah, I'll come back tomorrow, and we're delighted to have him with us.
	He's state senator from Georgia for the 53rd district.
	Colton Moore, welcome back to America First.
	Sebastian, thanks for having me.
	It's great to be here.
	Alright, so you made big news yesterday.
	You came on my show right after you had to deal with the rhinos in your caucus.
	You've been kicked out of the caucus.
	We'll talk about how that happened and developments since yesterday.
	But let's go back to the genesis of this all, and the reason we first had you on the show, I don't know, what was it, a month ago?
	Time is going past so fast.
	Fanny Willis, The county prosecutor in Fulton allegedly, according to Newt Gingrich, brings the fourth set of indictments against President Trump on the orders of Biden's DOJ in a peculiar, you know, 1130 at night press conference where she's laughing about, ha ha ha, I need to go to bed.
	You know, charges to do with social media posts about, well, please watch this, you know, this hearing live now at this link, or texts in which people are saying, you know, you should ask the voters to ring the Senate, ring their representatives.
	These are now allegedly felonies.
	And then you had a really great idea.
	What was your idea, Senator Moore?
	Call for a special session.
	We as a legislature can provide no oversight on Fannie Willis until we get together in a session.
	Now, what does that oversight look like?
	First and foremost, defund Fannie Willis.
	She's getting $3.5 million of Georgia taxpayer money.
	My constituents don't want to be paying for that.
	They're upset.
	They're mad.
	They want to see Fannie Willis investigated.
	Why in the world did this indictment come out before the grand jury ever concluded?
	What relationship does she have with the rest of the U.S.
	Department of Justice?
	And then what happens?
	You have this great suggestion, we get you on our show to talk about it, the date breaks, and now we're a few weeks later.
	What happened yesterday, Senator?
	Even on your show, I was telling folks, call up your state senator, call up your state rep, demand a special session.
	Well, the heat got so intense.
	That the caucus, the RINO caucus, decided it was best to vote me out.
	They've come up with all types of excuses.
	They've said, oh, you know, he was breaking the rules.
	What rules?
	You know, we've got a Constitution, the all-powerful rule.
	You know, these individuals, what were they doing?
	They were following the rules.
	They were using their First Amendment right to question the integrity of an election.
	Now they've been taken political prisoner.
	I swore an oath to the Constitution, just like all of them, but unfortunately they'd rather oust me than oust Fannie Willis.
	So I gotta know, how did this go down?
	Was there a public accusation?
	Were you allowed to hear the charges?
	What did they say you did wrong?
	How did this go down yesterday?
	So the caucus voted behind closed doors because they were too cowardly to come out and do it in person.
	So they got leadership to come out and present this letter to me.
	Everyone in leadership, Senator John Kennedy, Senator Randy Robertson, Senator Steve Gooch, Senator Larry Walker, they all signed it.
	And they said, you know, we're just, we're doing the will of the caucus and you've got to go.
	But you know, you could come back into the caucus.
	We just need you to quit saying stuff about Bo and Shelly Echols and anybody else who hasn't signed on to your letter because we're not going to sign on to it.
	Gentlemen, That was my response.
	Why in the world would I regulate my freedom of speech in defense of freedom itself?
	They came up with every threat they could.
	They said, well, what about your district?
	Have you thought about that?
	What's going to be the repercussions?
	I said, gentlemen, I would love to have fresh asphalt and I would love for my library to get some grant money.
	But if we don't have freedom, none of that matters.
	None of that matters.
	We're going to continue to explore what he can do now.
	State Senator Colton Moore.

	This is America First.
	If you're making calls to your representatives, to your senators, don't do it on a phone that's connected to the big cell phone providers.
	Why?
	Because they're woke.
	They're not on your side.
	There's only one Christian conservative cell phone company in the nation.
	It's the one I use.
	It's Patriot Mobile.
	It has the same nationwide 4G, 5G networks, a performance guarantee, but they're not woke.
	They love America as much as you do.

	patreon.com slash Gawker I'm curious what what what kind of a echo are you having in
	in local and state media
	Thank you.
	You know, the Atlanta media is obviously coming to the defense of the caucus.
	My hometown, my local media, they're pretty supportive.
	They're excited about it.
	They realize that most of the constituents... I mean, I can't even walk through town without people patting me on my back right now, Sebastian, saying, just keep up the fight.
	That's why we sent you there.
	You know, people recognize what's going on.
	Trump's poll numbers keep going up, and these people are... I mean, I told the Senate caucus yesterday, I said, this is the dumbest thing you guys could possibly do.
	It really is.
	Is to ostracize me from this caucus.
	Have you identified, you know, potentially who could be behind it, who's driving it?
	Oh, I'm... there's no doubt in my mind, it's the governor.
	You know, I mean, that's... that's why these people won't sign on to a special session.
	I mean, You know, Bo Hatchett, Senator Bo Hatchett, I'm on the phone with him yesterday.
	They want me to apologize to him.
	And he's like, why am I getting so much heat?
	And I said, Bo, I said, it's so easy.
	You're the fall guy.
	You know, you're in the most conservative district in the state.
	There are more Trump voters there than anywhere else.
	It just so happens that you're the floor leader for the boss, the governor.
	How long have you been in the Senate?
	That's my first term.
	I was in the State House before.
	Wow.
	No, I was in the statehouse calling for a special session to review the fraud in the 2020 election, but you know, that fell on deaf ears too.
	Tell me about your district, about 53rd.
	So it's, um, it's the most conservative district in Marjorie Taylor Greene's district.
	So all of the district is in MTG's district and it is the most conservative part of her district.
	So you must know MTG.
	Yeah, I mean, we're acquaintances.
	Yeah, she doesn't like some of my thoughts against McCarthy, but oh well, you know.
	Well, she wanted to be back on those committees.
	Yeah, yeah.
	Well, you know, let's hope she follows through with the promises.
	Make sure we defund the Department of Justice.
	Let's defund Ukraine.
	You know, she's been promising us a lot of stuff for a lot of years, so I hope she gets it done.
	Yep.
	Alright, let's talk about Your plans, alright?
	Let's talk about how you move forward.
	Alright, 30 seconds.
	L.I.
	Yeah, going forward... Hang on, hang on, hang on.
	30 seconds, hang on.
	L.I.
	at the top.
	Hang on, we did but...
	I'm not sure if I can do it.
	You You
	You And then to photoshop a text message bubble to make it look like it's reconstructed back on a phone, and this is supposed to be the Republican case for impeachment?
	I mean, at this point we should be investigating the investigation for the ethical conduct that is happening on the Republican side of the aisle.
	Yeah, investigate the investigators.
	You'd love that, wouldn't you AOC?
	So we can hide all the corruption of the Biden family.
	Not gonna happen.
	Not gonna happen, but the GOP has to get more serious.
	I was on Steve Bannon's show yesterday.
	Fulminating!

	We are back with State Senator Colton Moore of the 53rd District, kicked out of his caucus by the RINOs.
	What's going to happen now?
	What is your plan of action?
	Oh, first things first, you must have some friends of yours, some good guys in the caucus.
	Are they just sitting on their hands?
	What are they doing?
	Oh, I mean, they called me up last night and they said, I just cannot believe this Senate caucus I'll say to you, this was a complete surprise to them.
	You know, those guys, I hate it for them.
	I mean, they're going to go back to their districts and their GOP, you know, committee meetings, and they're going to say, why in the world did you let Colton get ousted?
	So it's going to be a tough fight for them.
	But what we're seeing in Georgia politics, I've never seen in my lifetime.
	You know, Republican parties from the inner city like Cobb County, Fulton County, you know, typically those groups don't necessarily align with GOPs down in South Georgia or in like Catoosa County up in my district.
	But guess what?
	All of these GOPs, they're on the same page right now.
	They recognize what is happening to Donald Trump and these 18 others.
	And right now, I could argue I'm the most Republican senator in this state.
	And I tell you what, I'm going to be going to GOPs all across the state, and I challenge any of my fellow Republican senators to meet me there in front of their constituencies, and let's talk about what we need to do with Fannie Willis, and why a special session is the most important thing.
	Alright, please support this man right now.
	ColtonMoore.com.
	That's Colton Moore with an E on the end.com and follow him at RealColtonMoore.
	That's at RealColtonMoore with an E. Go ahead, go ahead.
	No, I was going to say, too, anybody outside of the state who wants to get involved, too, or inside the state, we're looking for 5,000 Georgians to sign on to the petition at specialsession.com.
	You can go there, and if you're a Georgian, sign on.
	What happens if you get 5,000 signatories?
	Hey, we're going for $10,000.
	We're going for $20,000.
	I want to see 50 GOPs in the next month coming out with letters just like Chatham County, just like Henry County, Coweta County, Catoosa County, that say, we support the call to take action, calling a special session, defunding Fannie Willis and investigating her.
	And, you know, these GOPs, they're already sending out these letters to their state reps and their state senators.
	You know, they're calling for the special session.
	There's video that's coming out now of these state reps.
	They're going to their GOP meetings.
	They're being asked, why aren't you helping Colton calling for a special session?
	And they're looking at their watches and they're saying, we're out of time and they're running off the stage, Sebastian.
	That sounds like the rhino GOP we know.
	SpecialSession.com.
	Sign on today.
	SpecialSession.com.
	If you get it, if you manage to force these cows to actually do it, what power do you have?
	What can you do to stop Fannie Willis and this political persecution of the 45th?
	And God willing, if we do our part, the 47th president.
	Sebastian, in North Georgia, I've dealt with a lot of cattle, okay?
	But right now, call me the Rhino Wrangler, okay?
	And we're going to be defunding Fonny Willis as soon as we get into session, whether it's a special session or whether it's in January.
	You darn well better believe I'm going to be calling the motions to amend the budget and remove the $3.5 million that my constituents And what do you say already?
	You've got to prepare for what the other side is going to say.
	Oh no!
	You're defunding a prosecutor and crime will go rampant!
	attorneys to provide justice but meanwhile this woman's taking political
	prisoners and my constituents aren't having it. And what do you say already
	you got to prepare for what the other side is gonna say oh no you're defunding
	a prosecutor and crime will go rampant what are you gonna say then? Hey I'm
	gonna say obviously this woman has way too much money Fannie Willis because
	instead of solving crime when crime continues to go up in Atlanta she's
	taking on political prisoners She's not doing her job.
	She doesn't deserve the money.
	District attorneys back in my district, they've got a triage of cases, Sebastian, but guess what?
	Attorneys there Bonnie Willis is able to outbid them.
	We have attorneys in Northwest Georgia who are working in Fulton County and Cobb County and these metropolitan counties because we don't have the tax money to fund them and provide justice in Northwest Georgia.
	So, and my constituents, they want to see justice in Northwest Georgia, not injustice in Atlanta.
	This man is a fighter, and he has a plan.
	I've already got it.
	It's the wonderful website.
	It's the official Special Session petition.

	Thanks for watching.
	Because when you're talking about impeachment, you're talking about High crimes are misdemeanors.
	And I can't seem to find the crime.
	And honestly, no one has testified of what crime they believe the President of the United States has committed.
	But when we start talking about things that look like evidence, they want to act like they blind.
	They don't know what this is.
	These are our national secrets.
	Looks like it's **** me.
	Has anybody ever heard of that woman before?
	No, she's got to be a freshman.
	Oh, she is.
	She is, yeah.
	Again, her and that guy from Florida.
	I'm telling you, that's the future of the Democrat Party right there.
	Which guy?
	The weird guy?
	The 27-year-old, the first Zoomer in Congress who, like, was so poor he couldn't even afford a place in D.C.
	and, like, complained about it.
	Yeah.
	We had the audio cut, too.
	Oh, good.
	Can I just hear the quality?
	Yes.
	In October of 2015... Good.
	Okay, good.
	Oh, title for Colton.
	What did I write down?
	I'm the Rhino Wrangler.
	Nice.
	Not coming in with anything?
	Oh no, I'm going to tee up Gutfeld.
	Tee up Gutfeld 7.
	All right.
	Thank you.
	I suspect the money is there, but the votes aren't.
	I'm a big fan of Glenn Youngkin.
	I think he's doing a great job as governor.
	I think in 2028, he could be a very impressive, maybe even frontrunner for president, but not this time, not this year.
	He's correctly focusing on the legislative races in Virginia, where he has a real chance to make a difference.
	Newt Gingrich saying, yeah, Glenn, Glenn, Glenn, you're doing a great job in Virginia, but nah, nah, nah, nah, nah.
	The money's not there.
	The donors aren't there.
	This is Donald Trump's race and he's right.
	Maybe 2028, but we shall see.
	All right, the debate was a disaster.
	What do we have here?
	The figures?
	9 million viewers for a presidential primary debate.
	There were like 25 million for the presidential debate, the first primary in 2015.
	What has Fox done?
	Well, Greg Gutfeld may have an answer to do with the co-host of the debate this week, and shockingly, he actually said it on The Five.
	Let's listen to our buddy Greg Gutfeld, Cut 7.
	And Fox joining Univision, perhaps, was the worst partnership I've ever seen since Bud Light hired Dylan Mulvaney.
	I mean, you have a host unload a litany of liberal cliches whose premises we challenge successfully every day, and yet they were treated as approved truths.
	She had no follow-up to each one, which is weird, so it was like a deliberate list prepared by the DNC to tweak the candidates, to tweak the audience.
	It didn't feel like a journalism debate to me.
	It felt like The View without pastries.
	The View Without Pastries, you cheeky, cheeky boy.
	Jeff, how does he get away?
	Do you think Greg's on the way out?
	That he's criticizing Fox on Fox?
	Well, the way Fox gets behind it is it was mandated by the RNC.
	They're the ones that decided Univision.
	Oh.
	But it's still pretty, I think, to say that.
	It's pretty ballsy.
	Absolutely.
	It's pretty ballsy.
	Yeah.
	But it's okay.
	We don't need to worry about any kind of primary races.
	We've got the man who's going to win the election.
	You may not have heard of him, which may be a problem.
	His name is Cenk Uygur.
	And he was on another show saying, don't worry, I'll fix it for you.
	Cut three!
	That's why I'm desperate enough to think maybe I should do it.
	And I'll tell you why.
	Because let's say that somebody like me gets in the race.
	Yeah.
	Democratic voters are dying for an alternative.
	They keep saying in every poll, for God's sake, give us someone else.
	Give us someone else.
	If someone like me were to get to 20 points, do you have any idea how quick Newsom and Whitmer would enter the race?
	So are you seriously considering it?
	Yeah, I'm considering it.
	They're dying for somebody else.
	They probably prefer dying than voting for you.
	You think you'll get 20%?
	Hey, what did he get?
	He ran for Congress, didn't he, Eric?
	In California or something, right?
	He did run for Congress in, I believe, the district that Katie Hill was in previously.
	Right.
	Yeah.
	And he got, like, what?
	Like, 2%?
	3%?
	4%?
	What did he get?
	He came in fourth place with a good 6%.
	What did he get?
	He came in fourth place with a good 6%.
	And he thinks he'll get 20% nationally.
	Dear oh dear, you are amusing.
	But Sager and Jetty, what were you doing with that guy on your show?
	You can't be that desperate.
	I'm Sebastian Gawker.
	This is America First.
	It's Second Amendment Friday.

	All right, so let's get it straight.
	We're 62 hours away from shutting down the government of the United States of America, and Republicans are launching an impeachment drive based on a long, debunked, and discredited lie.
	What a day we are having here, isn't it?
	Right?
	I mean, listen, as a former director of emergency management, I know a disaster when I see one.
	I want to say thank you to Mr. Donald Trump for calling this hearing today.
	We see the long arm, but little hands, of Mr. Donald Trump, whose fingerprints are all over this hearing and this sham impeachment.
	Donald Trump, impeachment.
	Oh, how many impeachments?
	We got two there.
	How many indictments?
	We got four.
	How many for Biden?
	Zero, zero.
	Donald Trump is right.
	He's sick of winning.
	He's just winning, running away with it.
	And that's why we're here.
	They can't save Donald Trump.
	They can't take away the two impeachments and the four indictments.
	But they can try to put some numbers on the board for Joe Biden.
	But the problem is, when you sling mud, you gotta have mud.
	And they just don't have anything, Mr. Chairman.
	Honestly, if they would continue to say, if, or Hunter, and we were playing a drinking game, I would be drunk by now.
	If the Republicans had a smoking gun, Or even a dripping water pistol.
	They would be presenting it today, but they've got nothing on Joe Biden.
	Come on.
	If you all think there's so much evidence, we're here.
	Call the vote on impeachment.
	Impeach him right now.
	I dare you.
	Just a little montage from yesterday's first day of the impeachment inquiry being run by the Republicans.
	being run by the Republicans.
	Did that sound to you like it was run by the Republicans? Now there's multiple ways to look at
	what happened yesterday.
	The Never Trump Press, especially Newsweek, has been writing articles about my appearance on Steve Bannon's show and my railing about the failure that was.
	That hearing.
	Why?
	Because it was supposed to be an impeachment inquiry of President Biden.
	And the Republicans weren't ready.
	It was ill-prepared.
	And the Democrats turned it into the third impeachment hearing for President Trump.
	Holding up photographs of Ivanka and Jared Kushner and just you know with you heard it there puerile sarcastic Clownish behavior that despite its puerile nature meant that they were in control of the narrative Now after that occurred and of course, you know, we were watching it live and we were doing the show last night I had dinner with the Well, I'll just say it's the leadership of a lot of conservative broadcasters across the nation, Christian broadcasters, and they asked me to speak to them.
	And it was a short speech.
	And afterwards, a very elegant gentleman came up to me.
	I've never had this happen to me at a public event.
	He said, will you come over into the corner and talk to me?
	I mean, there's a room of about 40 people.
	He whisks me off to the corner to whisper to me.
	Why?
	Because he's an attorney who was subpoenaed by the January 6th Committee.
	I don't have authorization to give you his name, but he said the following to me.
	I gave a speech on the task was to explain the weaponization of the government against Christians and conservatives in America.
	And I think I'll probably turn it into an article, I'll put it on my sub stack, but he said something to me that kind of shocked me because We eat, drink, and sleep this stuff, right?
	If you're listening to this show, if you're working on this show, if you're part of my team, if you're the host of this show, you just take certain stuff for granted because you're in the bloodstream all the time.
	And this man who had been a victim of weaponization of government, you know, Nancy Pelosi's committee, he said to me, no one has explained as clearly as you just did The truth about Russia collusion and the hoax perpetrated against the president.
	And I was of course flattered, but maybe there was something useful in that comment.
	And I went back to the recording of my speech, and I cut out a two-minute segment.
	Jeff has already managed to turn it into a little cut for us.
	And I want you to use it.
	I want you to use it as a weapon.
	I want you to use it as ammunition.
	Because it is a very succinct summation of what they did starting in October of 2016, before the election.
	of 2015 before 2016 before the election and it tells you the stakes and the level of rot
	in this nation so listen make notes we'll post it afterwards and use this as a demonstrable piece of
	empirical evidence for where America's at and to help explain the stakes of what's going to occur
	in this nation in 14 months time okay let's play the audio cut in October of 2015
	Thank you.
	The then director of the CIA and the FBI, John Brennan, who, by the way, again, totally unbelievable, before he joined the CIA, voted for Gus Hall, the communist candidate for the President of the United States.
	John Brennan voted for communism and actually got a job at the CIA.
	How that happens, I don't understand, during the Cold War, and then is made director of the CIA by Obama.
	Before the election, he, along with somebody called Jim Comey, briefed Obama and somebody called Biden in the Oval Office that Hillary Clinton is about to drop something called the Steele dossier, which is a fabricated smear of the president concerning Russian collusion, hookers in a hotel in Moscow, just utter fabrication.
	Despite the president, the vice president and future president being told this is an opposition research hit job, paid for by Hillary.
	Hillary paid Christopher Steele, a former MI6 intelligence officer, twelve million dollars.
	Not bad work if you can get it.
	For one dossier of lies, twelve million dollars.
	This is all documented in court records.
	Despite knowing it was a smear job, That smear job was used by the Obama administration to launch something that had never been done in American history before.
	Since the establishment of the CIA in 1947, we have never seen a tri-agency covert surveillance operation against a presidential candidate.
	You can look it up.
	It's Operation Crossfire Hurricane.
	Operation Crossfire Hurricane was a joint FBI, CIA, NSA operation to surveil President Trump's campaign.
	And to prove that he had been colluding with the Russians.
	That was in secret.
	And they obtained FISA warrants.
	FISA warrants are scary.
	We shouldn't have FISA warrants in America.
	FISA warrants are warrants to spy on Americans that are issued by a secret court where even the identity of the judge is classified and where the person they're about to spy upon has no representation.
	No, zero.
	They have no idea.
	There's no attorney.
	There's nothing.
	They just go there with an FBI fund and say, yeah, we want to spy on Alan.
	And then, OK, go spy on him.
	On an American.
	That fake dossier was used to spy on members of the Trump campaign.
	So let's be clear.
	The administration of President Obama was briefed by the director of the CIA, John Brennan, by the director of the FBI, Jim Comey.
	That Hillary Clinton was about to drop a smear campaign based upon a dossier that was fabricated and had paid a former MI6 British spy $12 million to do so.
	Despite Biden and Obama knowing this, they authorized a tri-agency secret surveillance operation against a presidential campaign, Donald Trump's campaign.
	That operation used secret FISA court warrants to spy on US citizens based upon material that was manufactured.
	There is no more gross evidence.
	I mean, we could talk about Pastor Mark Houck, the arrest of Peter Navarro.
	We could talk about the FBI surveilling and following parents at school board meetings.
	But merely the fact That a prior administration spied on a presidential campaign because of Hillary's smear dossier is all the proof you need that the police state tactics have arrived and have been authorised at the highest levels of government.

	you you
	Car 15 at the top.
	How you doing?
	Good.
	Where are they playing?
	Lincoln, on U Street.
	We went to see Evita two days ago.
	Oh, I love Evita.
	It's still one of my... One of those things I could just see it over and over again.
	It was so irritating though, because... He's laughing?
	Who's laughing?
	How dare he?
	You're laughing at the Colonel?
	What?
	Sorry, I don't care.
	No, he said he loves Evita.
	It was a bit shocking.
	I didn't want to titter, but I'm glad somebody did.
	So I grew up on that, right?
	Yeah, yeah, yeah.
	It's like the biggest song in England.
	Yeah, yeah, yeah.
	And this whole bloody troupe, everybody, Evita on down.
	They sang Argentina.
	Argentina.
	It's like you're singing in English.
	Yeah.
	Everybody in the world knows it as don't cry for me Argentina.
	Argentina.
	It's like come on.
	You know the other thing we saw this.
	What?
	You got it?
	Good, all right.
	This dance troupe, and I think they were from Argentina, that did the story of Evita.
	As a dance?
	As a dance, and it was unbelievably phenomenal.
	Really?
	How long was it, the dance?
	Like an hour and a half.
	Oh, oh, okay.
	It's like a ballet.
	So no songs, just dance?
	No, it was just dance, but it was, there may have been some singing in it too, I can't remember.
	Where was that?
	It was at the Kennedy Center.
	We do everything at the Kennedy Center.
	We go all the time.
	Oh my gosh.
	Jeff just said, what is Evita?
	Is it cheesy?
	Oh my God.
	That Les Mis, I mean...
	This is Second Amendment Friday on America First!
	Dr. G.
	Oh dear, what are we gonna do?
	Colonel Carafano is in studio.
	He's doing the Federman dress-down Friday, but he's got an excuse.
	He's got pants on at least.
	He's going to a concert and I was saying I went to see Evita.
	My daughter bought us tickets to see Evita, the whole family.
	And then Mr. G says, what's Evita?
	Is it cheese?
	Oh dear, I don't know who hires these people.
	I thank the good lord every single day that America, for the time being, remains the freest nation on earth and we remain free because of our right to keep and bear arms.
	No other company in America personifies that right more than the Carr Firearms Group.
	Their story is the American dream and their products are absolutely second to none.
	The Carr Firearms Group is your source for high quality firearms.
	I carry a 9mm Carr every single day.
	Check out their amazing products at K-A-H-R dot com.
	That's K-A-H-R dot com.
	They also own the iconic Desert Eagle line of hand cannons, and the historic Auto-Ordnance line, including the M1, the venerable Tommy Gun, and the legendary 1911.
	There is available, maybe there's a couple of them left, of the Trump 1 Custom 1911.
	It is a beautiful firearm.
	I've handled one myself.
	It has the president on the slide, the presidential seal on the slide.
	It's a work of art, only available at galleryofguns.com.
	That's the Trump 1 Custom 1911, galleryofguns.com.
	Just put the word Trump into the little search box on that website.
	All right, Jim.
	Musicals or national security?
	So look, I gotta tell you this.
	What?
	We gotta talk about the border because... Oh, before we do that, can I just play this?
	This is the best...
	I've been talking about this phenomena since Dan Crenshaw talked about it on my show in studio two years ago.
	And this is Senator Britt, a couple of days ago, talking about what an open border really means.
	Play cut.
	We walked through and we got to hear women tell us their story.
	And their stories are brutalizing.
	And to Senator Cruz's point, if you're not telling it, that's on you.
	Because when a woman sits there and she tells you not just about being raped, but how many times a day she's raped, when she tells you about having to lay in that bed while they come in and out and in and out, it's disgusting and it's despicable.
	Folks, you look at the number of people that have died at the border because Joe Biden has made it more and more enticing to come here.
	Make no mistake, this is a result of failed policies.
	We could fix this.
	We can't throw money at this and fix it.
	We have to actually change the policies.
	Is there anything wrong with what the senator said, Jim?
	You know what's really interesting about that, you know, politicians are politicians, but
	when you listen to her voice, that is not a politician.
	That's not acting.
	That is a mother or a sister or a woman speaking, you know, not speaking a talking point.
	For those who aren't watching, Senator Marsha Blankburn is behind her, who is the...
	Out of all senators, I only allowed two on the show.
	She's one of them because she's not a politician.
	She's a citizen first.
	And her tears, you could see Senator Blackburn's eyes were watering up because of what Senator Britt was saying.
	So let me tell you about the conversations that go on behind closed doors.
	With the people who supported Joe Biden, put him in office, would be the first guy to vote for him and put a Biden sticker on their car, and friends from across the region who would equally never say a bad word about Joe Biden.
	You mean in the hemisphere?
	Right.
	Let me tell you about what they say behind closed doors.
	This policy is out of control.
	Biden has completely lost control.
	It is utter chaos.
	It is completely destructive.
	And they have no plan.
	They have no plan to get it back under control.
	They don't know how to get it back under control.
	It's like they've released a demon, and they literally have no capacity to deal with it whatsoever.
	And so publicly, what do you hear them say?
	It's like, oh, not a problem.
	And it's all just a lie.
	And not only do the people that support them know it's a lie, They know it's unsustainable, uncontrollable, and completely destructive to the entire hemisphere.
	So when the head of state of Mexico makes jokes about it, he's just what, like, playing a game there, or what?
	Whoever you're, like, the people, the congressmen that go on TV and Face the Nation and all this stuff and tell you.
	It's all a lie.
	And they know they're lying.
	They all know.
	So where does this end?
	Because if you can't reverse it, it means that we had a record one source today on Fox News said 10,000 illegals in the last 24 hours.
	Is this what we expect for the next two years, Jim?
	Well, I'll tell you what, yes.
	The answer is yes.
	Because when you ask them what to do about it, they come up with blah, blah, nonsense, furry dust, right?
	And it's just going to get worse for two years.
	When you go really deep into the private conversation and you ask people, well, what do we do?
	And their answer is really simple.
	It's like, you've got to get control of the border.
	You have to deport a whole bunch of people.
	And you have to stop furloughing people in the United States.
	And you have to do it tomorrow.
	And how hard is it going to be to do that?
	Given the fact that they've done this shell game whereby the illegal immigrant downloads the DHS app, they're sitting in Mexico, they apply for asylum, and once they arrive on U.S.
	soil, they're literally waved in.
	Well, you can stop all that on day one, and you can start to deport people.
	The irony is that all the people that would say this in absolute pride and confidence, they would be the first place.
	people to take a lawsuit against, you know, reinstating return to Mexico and stuff like that.
	But it's absolutely essential. It really, there is no option. It really, really has to be.
	That's the only thing. And here's why they're so apoplectic.
	It's not because of what happened.
	Because they are looking down the road and they're seeing what's coming.
	And what's coming makes this look like a ripple.
	There are 20 million people on the road right now headed to the United States.
	You know, when I used to say, you know, we'd have a million people by the end of the year, and everybody looked like Craig Wright.
	And when I would say, Joe Biden is going to double the unlawful population by the end of his term as president, I am underestimating.
	We're going to have three easily.
	Three times as many illegal immigrants in the United States as we did before we took office.
	And that population is going to be equal to one of the largest states in America.
	Correct.
	What do we do about it?
	Can it be undone?
	Absolutely.
	And you know the thing is, is you don't even, you don't need to change the law.
	I mean, what the last administration showed is with the laws on the books you can do all this stuff.
	Remain in Mexico and everything else.
	But you gotta shut it down.
	Furloughing half a million Venezuelans in the United States is a signal to a country where people make four dollars a month to get your butt on the road and walk to America.
	Do you realize that there are, there is massive So, in southern Mexico, there are places that they are
	desperate for people to come and work for them.
	And all they're seeing is armies of immigrants just walking by to go to the United States.
	It's just crazy time.
	I just remember back to how it was when we were in the White House.

	That's my whole name, sebastiangawker.substack.com.
	I'm going to stop on this time and then just play it as B-roll.
	Okay.
	20 million.
	I mean... So Joe Kennedy running here as an independent?
	That's pretty cool.
	Joe Kennedy?
	I didn't see that.
	I just announced it.
	Oh.
	So what do you think they're going to do with Feinstein's seat?
	Are they going to push Kamala in there?
	Oh, wouldn't that be hilarious?
	That would be utter genius, wouldn't it?
	You know, because then, literally, they could put anybody in as Vice President if they wanted.
	Right.
	Right.
	Because I watched The Diplomat.
	I know how that works.
	I've been in it.
	Parachute Newsom in.
	Well, I think Newsom would be a terrible national candidate.
	But they don't think that.
	Because he's got the hair, the teeth, he's slimy.
	I just think he'd be a horrible national candidate.
	So who do you think they'd try to do it to?
	Well, if they were smart, they'd take somebody like this Governor of Maryland.
	Oh.
	Wes Moore.
	Uh-huh.
	Won a big election.
	Yeah, but he's got no name recognition.
	Newsom does.
	But you know what?
	Being a Vice President of the United States for two years, you get a lot of name recognition.
	And then Biden can step down.
	Yeah, there's no way he's running.
	Well.
	Don't you agree?
	Don't you think Biden's not going to run?
	Look, I think they're desperate to keep... because they just... One is, he's the perfect sock puppet for Obama.
	But he's also a liability.
	But the thing is, he's the perfect sock puppet.
	And the thing is, yeah, he's a liability, but who are you going to run?
	And this is the problem.
	God, this is big, guys!
	This is big!
	You're right.
	One hour ago.
	All right.
	Breaking news, please, Alex.
	Oh, what just happened?
	Oh, the RFK thing.
	RFK.
	What did he do?
	He's planning to run as an independent.
	Nice.
	All right.
	Independent or libertarian?
	Independent.
	Independent.
	Nice.
	Is it nice, though, or does it undermine some of President Trump's voters?
	No, it's more likely to undermine.
	Jeff, you were thinking that if he ran third party, though.
	I think it's more Dems.
	And just enough Biden voters to hurt.
	To hurt.
	Exactly.
	Bingo.
	Bingo.
	He's on the ballot in places like Arizona and... Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, the swing.
	That's right, that's right, that's right.
	What if he picks Marianne Williamson as his running mate?
	Who?
	The other Dem.
	Oh, Crystal Lady.
	Yeah, that'd be funny.
	It would only hurt a Republican candidate if they ran, you know, a total squish.
	Right, right, right.
	That was the other interesting thing.
	Mm-hmm.
	Are the mics on?
	Kill him.
	Mic's off.
	Thanks, guys.
	Thanks, guys.
	Thanks.
	you you
	With breaking news, here's Sebastian Gorka.
	This is embarrassing!
	My guest has to tell me the breaking news.
	We're too busy having fun because it's Friday.
	Thank you to the good colonel, the good doctor, Jim Carufano.
	Breaking news!
	Robert Kennedy Jr.
	is about to announce his candidacy for the presidency as... Wait for it...
	Wait for it, you horrible little man.
	He's going to do it as an independent!
	Oh, that is fascinating.
	Who's that going to hurt most?
	I think we know who it's going to hurt most.
	Yes, RFK is about to announce as an independent.
	It's Friday.
	It's Second Amendment Friday.
	CAR Firearms is our Second Amendment Friday sponsor.

	That's KAHR.com.
	So Jim, thank you for sharing the breaking news with us.
	I opened the show with three different cuts that were unusually linked.
	One from Newt Gingrich, one from Joe Rogan, and the third from Elon Musk.
	And I'd love to get your kind of Analysis of the policy ramifications of a guy who's not really into politics but is massively influential.
	You talk about space, Tesla, Twitter and what have you.
	Deciding to just go down to the border and do a live stream, talk to a local, you know, politician, talk to the border guards.
	That's unusual, isn't it?
	Well, it's easy to explain.
	Because if there's one thing that Elon Musk is clearly upset about, it is about a lockstep media that isn't investigatory, isn't transparent, isn't nonpartisan.
	And the reason why he bought X was to create a platform where you actually could have real debates and get real of what's going on.
	So the mainstream media has completely tried to lock out the border story and he just wanted to show, you know what,
	just like having Tucker on his show, right?
	I can blow through you guys. You are not an obstacle. You are not a minefield. You are not
	some Russian, you know, line of Russian tanks holding me back. I can just blow through you guys.
	But I agree in terms of the message he's sending at the meta level.
	Yeah.
	But talk to us about how significant, a guy who's into space and electric vehicles and social media, why it's the border policy issue.
	Because it's probably the biggest story in America that the mainstream media is trying to hide from the American people.
	And which affects everybody.
	He said the opposite.
	which affects everyday Americans in their real lives, in their real pocketbooks, at their real dinner tables,
	in their real communities.
	So the most interesting thing Musk said, he goes, you know, hey, this border thing is complete and utter
	chaos.
	Right?
	But he said, you know, that doesn't mean I'm against immigration.
	I want immigration.
	He said the opposite.
	He said he wants as much legal immigration as possible.
	Well, here is it.
	So I have two interesting observations about that.
	One is, yes, we should all want legal immigration.
	legal immigration reform that it gets employers, the employees they need when they need them
	to grow jobs and grow the economy, preferably temporary worker programs,
	which are much more flexible and you're not just willy-nilly adding country.
	We all want that, right?
	Never gonna happen, never gonna happen until one, we get control of the border,
	and two, we have a conservative-controlled Congress that will do immigration reform
	in a way that actually reforms integration I would add one more thing.
	A conservative Chamber of Commerce... Well, here's the...
	Here's the irony of ironies, right?
	Who would have done that?
	And the answer is, the last President of the United States.
	Because having spent his first term getting the border secure and gaining the confidence of the American people that he could control the border, in the second term, he had a very bold and ambitious plan to reform the American immigration system to make it one of the most modern Yeah.
	and efficient systems in the world, rivaling what everybody else has done in the world.
	That was in the can, that was ready to launch, all they're waiting to do is win.
	And the answer is, because liberals say they want this all the time too,
	if that's what you wanted, dude, you put the wrong guy in office.
	The guy you put in office has guaranteed that no Congress will ever be able to sit down
	and have a comprehensive immigration reform plan, because they just blew that up.
	Obama started this.
	Obama was the guy that gave up on, okay, at least I would credit Bush
	with trying to get a consensus.
	Obama in his first two years pretended to try to get a consensus,
	but after that he pushed the nuclear button, and he gave up on getting,
	and he went all in for open borders.
	Obama was turning his back on border security And not only that, that infamous line, that utter cynical line where he said, Congress?
	I've got a phone and a pen.
	I don't need no stinking Congress.
	We've been talking to Jim Carrafano.
	Yeah, interesting things are happening and God bless Elon Musk for doing that.
	He's right.
	The biggest story that affects everybody.

	in the search box at gallery of guns.com. Now in my green room we have a big green room over by the old
	studio and a little more
	fun one here with lots of nice snacks and stuff. In my old green room
	there's something that's been on the shelf for a couple of years now and it's
	unusual because it's a yarmulke in camouflage.
	You don't usually see those.
	And then it's even cooler because you turn it around and it's got the Star of David and it's got a very unique logo.
	It says the Pew Pew Jew.
	What is the source for the Pew Pew Jew yarmulke?
	Well, it was my visiting CPAC a few years ago and we're closing the circle right now.
	We are joined by none other than Yehuda Arama, the PewPewJew.
	Yehuda, welcome to America First!
	Thank you so much for having me, Dr. Gorka.
	Now, explain to us, the brand, who the Pew Pew Jew is, because, you know, I've been to Israel many times.
	I'm very happy that Israelis are so comfortable with weapons.
	I remember I was there 1993 first, and I was in a discotheque late at night with young Israelis with their slung M16 carbines over their shoulders in the nightclub.
	I felt very, very safe.
	But there's There's very few, at least Orthodox Jews, who are out there celebrating the Second Amendment like you are.
	So tell us about the genesis of your brand, the pewpewjew.com.
	Yeah, of course.
	So it all began in 2011 when I wrote my first book.
	It's a children's book called Safety On, an Introduction to the World of Firearms for Children.
	And from there, I was like, OK, it took me about five years to get my book published because no one wanted to touch a pro gun pro child book.
	And once I got it published, you know, I launched a few more books until someone in a friend of mine in the Call my illustrator.
	I'm like, hey, I need a really cool logo with the Star of David, a gun in the words to pew pew doing it.
	And from there, I launched in 2018 with a few T-shirts and a few of my books for sale.
	And it's just grown to the point where I've become a very All right.
	Follow him, please, on Instagram, the pewpewjew, also the pewpewjew.com.
	Your book, Safety On, what a great idea, an introduction to the world of firearms for children.
	What is your philosophy?
	What is the message of your platform?
	So I believe that teaching children from a very young age is key to having a safer future.
	It just like a lot of people have cooking knives on their counter or we tell children not to touch ovens.
	From a very young age.
	It's the same idea with a firearm.
	If they are educated on proper usage, proper safety guidelines, then by the time they're, you know, six, seven years old playing, if they find a gun somewhere they're not supposed to be, or if and obviously this is not a surefire way to prevent any accidents, but it gives a very strong foundation for children to know what to do if Yeah, that's a fabulous idea.
	I think nobody did that for Britney Spears, given the recent video of her dancing and running around with kitchen knives.
	A very, very disturbing one.
	If you haven't seen it, you don't believe me, look it up after the show, but don't waste more than 10 seconds on it.
	We have a unique experience here in America because We're the only nation that understands the individual is the ultimate guarantor of your liberty, and that's why the Second Amendment exists.
	It's not about hunting, it's not even about, you know, burglars or being mugged, it's about removing dictatorial regimes from power.
	Nevertheless, that's in the gene code of the nation, and it is the first civil right that makes all the others possible.
	But Yehuda, I'm curious, What's changed in your message or what extra message you have?
	Because I saw this myself at my local gun store in Virginia.
	During COVID, it just exploded.
	I couldn't go there on a Friday or Saturday night without people literally out the door waiting to be let in to look at firearms and to buy firearms to fill out the, you know, the background check.
	Our family, Yehuda, has exploded so we have so many people to bring in to our community what do you say to these people who've never handled a gun before realize they can't trust the state or realize that you know who knows what happens after covid what do you say to these people
	Come come to the range with me and try it out.
	You know, turning people away who it's fun.
	It's funny because, you know, I have people in my community who are rabidly against guns.
	And then the whole Antifa and Black Lives Matter and covid and all of that happened.
	Then they called me and they're like, hey, can you help us get a gun?
	Of course, you know, I check my ego at the door and I take them to the range.
	I educate them.
	I let them try out firearms until they buy a firearm.
	Coming to the party a little late, but you know, you got to be nice at first and kind of, it's very important to check your ego at the door and you know, don't turn them away because the more people we have joining the second amendment world helps everybody.
	I love that.
	I think we're going to make that the title of this segment.
	Check your flipper.
	If you're a gun guy, everybody's cool and manly if you're into guns, so check your ego at the door.
	Last question.
	Follow this man at the pewpewjew and the pewpewjew.com.
	What's your carry gun of choice?
	What are you carrying right now, Yehuda?
	Glock 43X with some extra hardware on it, shield arms, 15 round magazine, the Holosun red dot on it.
	Nice!
	It's a very, very popular gun.
	You know, the SIG 365, the Glock 43X.
	He's a trendy man, not just a cool guy.
	He's trendy as well.

	You're listening to America First One-on-One with our special in-studio guest, Ed Lucas.

	I'm gonna see up five.
	You You
	No violence No hate speech.
	Just Happy Warriors on America First!
	I'm always right, usually.
	What have I done?
	Jeff, two things I screwed up in four and a half years I have to apologize for.
	Is that right?
	Is it two or three?
	About that, yeah.
	About that.
	I need a sanity check.
	I need to know if I'm right about yesterday.
	So I'm going to do a survey of my team members right now.
	Did the Republicans do well yesterday on the first day of the impeachment inquiry hearings?
	Let's start with a man whose answer I think I can guess.
	Mr. Eric.
	Absolutely not.
	It was pitiful, abysmal, abominable, sad, pathetic.
	Thumbs down from the Eric.
	Mr. Alex, how would you rate the performance of the Grand Old Party yesterday?
	Well, considering the Dems were running the show, a zero.
	Oh my, oh my!
	Okay, let's go to Guy.
	Guy, how did the Republicans perform yesterday in your estimation?
	Yes sir, I agree with Alex and Eric.
	I love the way he just so delicately, slowly lowers the boom on his headset.
	It's like he's in the Death Star and he's just slow-mo, so cool.
	Eric does the quick flip!
	Gi does the slow.
	I'm not in a hurry.
	It's Gi.
	And the last man in the team, well, you know, there's John in Florida.
	I hope he's listening.
	John, are you listening?
	Mr. Gi, give us more than a two-word answer to how the GOP performed yesterday.
	Well, I was going to say about as well as by dynamics, but I can go on a little bit further.
	They performed exactly as I thought they would.
	They were kind of pushed into this, didn't kind of want to really go into it.
	They didn't go that hard, but my biggest problem with them is they didn't combat the Democrats at all with all the ridiculous stuff they were saying.
	That is so true.
	Especially when, look, why is it that afterwards You have one of their witnesses.
	We've got to get him on the show, by the way.
	Jeff, try and reach out to this forensic accountant, Bruce Dombinsky, who afterwards does an interview where he kind of crushes the Biden corruption.
	Why didn't they build it around this?
	Listen to this little clip from forensic accountant Bruce Dombinsky.
	Biden was receiving a million dollars a year to be on the board of Burisma with no expertise,
	no known expertise for an oil company.
	I just went and looked at the same year, 2015 for Exxon Mobil.
	Their average compensation for their directors, their independent directors, was about $350,000
	a year.
	So you have to ask yourself almost two and a half times the rate, what is Burisma paying
	Hunter Biden for and why?
	And what's being given in exchange for that?
	Was it just the illusion of access to Washington as that's the story now?
	Or was there something more?
	Again, the American people deserve the truth and we need to find that out.
	Nailed it.
	How is Hunter Biden, with no background in the industry, getting almost three times more on the board of a Ukrainian energy company than an American would get on the board of ExxonMobil?
	Come on!
	Pay for play?
	Selling access?
	It's not a hard argument to make.
	James Comer, are you paying attention?
	Next up, what do we do on Fridays?
	We have fun on Fridays!
	We make movies great again with a classic, Kurt Russell's Escape from New York with the one, the only, Mr. Reagan.

	you you
	of all the gin joints and all the towns and all the world she walks in a mine
	Bye.
	Oh Impressive.
	Most impressive.
	See things you people wouldn't believe.
	See things you people wouldn't believe.
	Talk to God.
	you Let's go see it together.
	In 1988, the crime rate in the United States rises 400%.
	The United States is the world's largest producer of cannabis.
	The once great city of New York becomes the one maximum security prison for the entire country.
	A 50-foot containment wall is erected along the New Jersey shoreline, across the Harlem River, and down along the Brooklyn shoreline.
	It completely surrounds Manhattan Island.
	All bridges and waterways are mine.
	The United States police force, like an army, is encamped around the island.
	There are no guards inside the prison, only prisoners and the worlds they have made.
	The rules are simple.
	Once you go in, you don't come out.
	After the last two and a half years of Biden, that seems an ever-increasingly attractive proposition.
	Build a wall around New York, turn it into a prison, and maybe we could do that with Los Angeles, Seattle, Baltimore, and downtown LA.
	Of course, that is the opening narration from an iconic movie, one of John Carpenter's greatest successes, The Escape From New York, and hopefully my co-host for Making Movies Great Again, Chris Coles, enjoyed watching it!
	Don't you dare say you haven't seen this one before!
	No, I have, but I will admit I only saw it relatively late in life, and I have to say, I'd always heard that this movie was something of a B movie, a B grade film.
	And I was always a little bit worried that it wasn't going to be, you know, high enough quality for me to really appreciate it.
	But you know what?
	This is a very, very good script.
	It's a phenomenal cast.
	And it is one of the most Fun movies that there is coming out of the 80s.
	And I absolutely love this one.
	You've got to love it.
	It's an iconic movie.
	I watched it again last night.
	Enjoyed it immensely.
	And if you're like a 12 year old guy, who doesn't want to be Snake Plissken?
	I mean, he's such an iconic character.
	Just the skin tight camo pants alone.
	I mean, I mean, very useful in combat.
	I'd wear I'd wear the eye patch.
	I mean, it was interesting about the 80s is they didn't mind creating these, you You know, like Mr. T or something, you know what I mean?
	Like very iconic characters they had.
	Typically, they would have iconic theme music.
	This movie doesn't really have iconic theme music, but that's something that's very typical of the 1980s.
	Stuff that leaves an impression like the Ghostbusters theme song, stuff like that.
	They didn't mind doing that in the 80s.
	Today, for some reason, Very subtle and toned down and nothing's iconic.
	Nothing's, you know.
	But what's great about this film is that there is this kind of mixture of the cartoon nature of like the eye patch, Snake Plissken and the tattoo.
	And also the gritty realism that it's balanced very nicely, I feel like.
	Yeah, there is that strange juxtaposition that you've got these kinds of wacky ideas, you know, Isaac Hayes is the Duke with the chandeliers on the outside of his Cadillac.
	And then there's this kind of the gritty realism, you know, this completely rundown New York.
	And for me, it's that moment when It's Barboo, and the brains have to escape.
	And they just shiv one of the guys in the belly, and then she just whacks three of the guys.
	It's like, oh, I didn't see that coming.
	This is supposed to be fun.
	And it's like, it's that strange mixture.
	But what about this idea?
	I mean, you've lived in downtown LA.
	The sequel was, of course, Escape from LA.
	What about the idea of turning downtown LA or Manhattan into a prison?
	Well, I gotta say, I've never seen Escape from L.A., so I can't talk about that.
	I've been warned away from watching that film.
	But I have to say, and also, New York, over the past couple days, I heard there was some Riots in Queens that didn't even get on the news, like it's so common now for there to be looting.
	How about this?
	How about this?
	We're broadcasting from the nation's capital.
	We've just broken 200 homicides in this year alone.
	That's indecent.
	This is a tiny city of 600,000 people and we haven't had that kind of a murder rate since 1993, Chris.
	Yeah, and you're just outside Baltimore, which is, you know, like one of the murder capitals of the country.
	You've got Chicago, you've got St.
	Louis, you've got New York, you've got L.A.
	When I was living in L.A., I had this little crime app that would tell me where the crimes were in Los Angeles.
	And every night there was like, you know, three or four horribly violent crimes that you could just see on the app, you know, just right around me, like within my immediate, like a few blocks just around me.
	And it was just the craziest thing and constantly there was like looting and...
	All kinds of nasty stuff out here.
	Fights breaking out on the street down below me.
	If you walk down L.A.
	Now, you came to L.A.
	You visited me.
	You got a little bit of footage on your phone of the homeless problem.
	It really is like the zombie apocalypse.
	I went, you know, I was traveling out of California.
	I had a few hours to kill in L.A.
	I said, hey, I know a guy in L.A.
	And picked her up.
	You took me to a very fancy rooftop bar.
	But the drive, literally, we drove maybe three blocks.
	And I thought, I thought I was back in Afghanistan.
	I mean, it was like Samar... If you haven't seen it, I've used the footage on my regular show.
	I've used the footage on my Newsmax show, The Gorkari Atychek, and it's shocking.
	I just drove slowly, pulled down the window, put my iPhone out the window, and it was tent city after tent city, people shooting up, detritus, filth, people sitting outside the liquor store.
	It was just... And this was in...
	You know, two blocks away, you're in some of the nicest parts of LA.
	Yeah, and it's, yeah, like the business district is a couple blocks from there.
	And, and it really is the day you drove through there was honestly a normal day.
	Like that wasn't like a particularly bad day.
	It wasn't a particularly good day.
	That was a normal day.
	And it really looked like something out of this film.
	Now, I suppose the only difference would be that I don't imagine if you walked through that neighborhood, they would attack you in the same way they attack Snake Plissken, but only because they're drugged out of their minds.
	These people, you know, there is this funny thing where we go, okay, homeless people, like I was talking to somebody the other day about the homeless issue, and they were so sympathetic to homeless people, and they were so like, oh, it's such a problem, we have to take care of these people, and I didn't, it was a woman, I didn't want to correct her, but what's funny is as I was moving out of L.A., I have a very good friend, he's an actor, He's gay.
	He's Hispanic.
	You know, he's like... Does he tick the boxes?
	Yeah, he ticks all the boxes.
	He's the Democrat dream human, you know.
	And as we were in the elevator going down, he was helping me move some of my stuff out when I was in L.A., he says, Chris, you know, I used to be very sympathetic to homeless people just generally, just as a matter of, like, principle.
	Yeah.
	After 10 years of living in L.A., I have no sympathy for these people.
	Like, what he recognized was that a lot of the people, at least in Los Angeles, was that they were taking advantage of the system.
	They saw that the system would allow them to live a drug addict lifestyle where they didn't have to have any kind of responsibility.
	And as long as they were okay not showing, they were happy about it.
	Paid for by the taxpayers.
	Exactly right.
	Yeah, yeah.
	So, you know, I no longer have a lot of sympathy for homeless people.
	Sure, some people get down on their luck.
	I understand that.
	But that is the rare exception.
	Almost everyone that I've ever come across in L.A.
	that's homeless wants to be homeless.
	And without disclosing any national security secrets, where are you broadcasting to us from right now, Chris Coles?
	From Sweden.
	From Stockholm, Sweden.
	Does this movie, Escape from New York, remind you of Stockholm?
	Well, you know what's weird?
	They've actually had several homicides here lately, but it's exclusively immigrants.
	Is that after you arrived?
	Yeah.
	Yeah.
	Somehow, Stockholm, the people of Sweden are very good people.
	They're very nice people.
	There's very low crime here.
	And so they go, you know what we don't have enough of?
	Murder.
	So they have to import their crime.
	They call up Syria.
	They go, hey, what are you guys doing with your murderers?
	And then they have them shipped in.
	You think he's joking.
	He's not.
	I went to Malmo.
	I went to Sweden a few years ago.
	They had attacks in the downtown with hand grenades and the ambulance workers, the EMS, were demanding body armor.
	You think this is fantasy?
	This is John Carpenter?
	No, this is what happens when you open up your borders.
	We're making movies great again with John Carpenter's 1981 classic Escape from New York with our buddy Chris Coles, host of the Alpha Critic and the Mr. Reagan channels on YouTube.

	Okay, come in with Molotov.
	Bad neighborhood, Snake.
	You don't want to be walking from the power room to 42nd Street at night.
	Ha!
	I've been driving a cab here for 30 years, and I'm telling you, you don't walk around here at night!
	Ha ha!
	Yes, sir!
	I'll kill you and strip you in 10 seconds flat!
	Usually I'm not down around here myself, but I wanted to catch that show.
	This stuff is like gold around here, you know.
	I don't know what it is about Ernest Borgnine.
	I think it's maybe that he was in every movie that I liked as a child growing up.
	There he's cabby, of course, the double-dealing cab driver from the New York prison.
	Just a great, great actor.
	But this is a solid cast, not just Adrienne Barbeau's outfit in this movie as she plays Maggie,
	but also another huge favorite of mine, playing the president, Donald Pleasance,
	and a man who, whether he's a cowboy in The Good, Bad, and the Ugly, The Magnificent Seven,
	or whether he's playing a strangely very, very Caucasian ninja in the TV show The Master,
	Navy veteran, an individual who has the Navy, who received the Bronze Star in World War II.
	I don't know about you, Chris, but are there many people cooler than Lee Van Cleef?
	Not a lot.
	You know, we have him in our intro, I forgot.
	Yeah.
	Yeah.
	There's very few people quite as cool as him.
	You know, what's interesting that I noticed, Ernest Borgnine, by the way, I learned to love from a TV show called Airwolf.
	That was my introduction.
	Right.
	He was like the comms guy, you know, next to Jan Michael Vincent.
	Such a charming actor, such a charming person.
	I always say that In film and TV, it's not really about how good looking or cool you are, it's about how watchable you are.
	Yes.
	And Ernest Borgnine was one of the most watchable actors in history.
	But why?
	Can we just stop here for a second?
	Because you have such incisive analysis as an actor, as a writer.
	And by the way, interesting, Carpenter didn't just direct this, he wrote this.
	He was inspired by the movie Death Wish, Michael Winner's Death Wish, and then he created this whole story of escape from New York.
	What is it about characters like, because Borgnine is, he's not handsome, he's not fit, but he's, there's something, when he's on the screen, you're like, I want to hang out with that guy.
	What is it about actors like that?
	Well, he's Santa Claus, isn't he?
	He's Santa Claus.
	He's the uncle you love.
	The uncle you love.
	And that is somebody that we can all relate to.
	You know, even if we don't have an uncle that looks like that exactly, you know, it's the kind of it's maybe an amalgamation of fatherly or grandfatherly figures that we have known throughout our lives that that loved us.
	Hopefully, hopefully we have people in our lives like that.
	And then we relate that, I think, to this character.
	I suppose if you grow up and you are unloved by any adult males in your family, then probably, yeah, you may not love Ernest Borgnine, but The president in this film I find particularly fascinating because although I think that Carpenter was trying to criticize the government and the sort of distrust that we have.
	He actually said in interviews that much of this was shaped by the Nixon era.
	So, you know, the corruption of the state.
	Yeah, but what was really weird is that he created this whole scenario where You have this cassette tape that was supposed to stop World War III.
	Snake Plissken at the end gives the president the wrong tape, making a bit of a fool of him, which is kind of funny.
	But you'd think, okay, if you gave him the wrong tape, you just let World War III happen.
	Maybe not the best moment for the hero, but the president actually has a redemption moment, which is fantastic.
	And in this way, he reminds me a little bit of Trump.
	Because he's constantly being ridiculed.
	He's constantly being mocked throughout the film.
	They're trying to humiliate him.
	They're trying to destroy this man's integrity, I guess.
	And at the end of the film, what does he do?
	He stops Snake Plissken, from being able to escape.
	So he creates a bit of bait, right?
	So that the Duke will come out and try to shoot him.
	And what happens?
	The president himself grabs a machine gun and executes the guy that's been humiliating him for a week or however long it's been.
	Oh, I guess it's not a week.
	24 hours or whatever, right?
	Right, right.
	But I just thought, it's kind of a badass move.
	You kind of think, okay, he's got his hero moment, he's got his redemptive moment, and you kind of like the president in that moment.
	So it's a little bit weird that he's quasi a villain and Snake Plissken makes a fool of him and all that.
	It's not a perfectly written script in that sense, I don't think.
	No, but it is this unusual arc that he's really made fun of, right?
	They nail him to the wall, they shoot Plissken's gun around him, they make him chant that you are the Duke, you're the greatest, and then he throws that back as the Duke as he machine guns him near the finale on the bridge.
	Are you a fan of Donald Presence?
	Yeah.
	I mean, that like what's weird is that, like I said, I don't think he was supposed to be such a sympathetic character, but Donald Pleasence is.
	A charming actor.
	He's got this brilliant presence on screen, and he is that sympathetic character.
	And you do love that he gets a bit of revenge there at the end.
	And of course, he will be remembered forever as Dr. Loomis from the Carpenter horror movies, who has to try and track down the, what do they call him?
	What's the beast called?
	The shape.
	I always thought that was a bit weird.
	It's a guy in a, you know, in a Captain Kirk mask.
	It's not the shape.
	It's like an eight foot tall guy.
	But I'm a huge fan, huge fan of Donald presence.
	And he was in the other movie review, The Great Escape as well.
	Or All right, so much more to discuss.
	I've got some geeky stuff to talk about, special effects as well.
	We are discussing, we're making movies great again, the escape from New York, iconic John Compton, 1981.
	If you support the other Donald, the 45th President of the United States, the man who, God willing, if we do our part, will also be the 47th President of the United States, well, you could do a lot worse than wear this.
	It is the booking photograph, I hate the phrase mugshot, Heard around the world on a t-shirt on a mug with a very simple phrase Trump 2024.

	They're trying to bankrupt him.
	A million bucks a week in attorney's fees.
	They're trying to put him behind bars.
	Why?
	Because he loves America and because they can't control him.

	I'm too tired Maybe later.
	I've got another deal for you.
	I want you to think it over while you're resting.
	I want to give you a job.
	We'd make one hell of a team, Snake.
	The name's Plissken.
	you The name's Plissken.
	What do you think of this character, Chris, and the way Kurt Russell played it?
	Where does this rank in his performances?
	I know he admits he was in this kind of liminal space where he was a child actor for Disney.
	He was trying to break out of that, you know, typecasting.
	He clearly is trying to channel the great Clint Eastwood, the man of monosyllabic script sentences.
	Give us your take on Snake Plus Skin.
	Well, that's a really good point.
	I hadn't really thought about that, that it's a kind of a take on Clint Eastwood,
	the man with no name or whatever, that kind of character.
	Correct, yes.
	But there is something to be said for a character that doesn't really talk that much in a
	movie.
	I I've actually thought about this before.
	Like, I've talked to other writers, and I thought as a sort of exercise, I might write a script at some point where the main character has, like, four lines or something, right?
	You know, just make the guy say everything with a look.
	And, you know, that's a way to go.
	That's a way to write a main character that sometimes is incredibly effective because You can.
	You don't have to use words always to communicate something you can, you know, with it with an eyebrow raise or something.
	You can let you can let the audience know just by the context of the of the scene.
	And sometimes that's better because you're not explicitly telling them what to think.
	They have to interpret it and figure it out.
	And a lot of times the audience will insert their own values, their own ideas, what they want to believe about the character, and that makes them even like the character even more sometimes.
	So sometimes silence is golden.
	It's better to have your characters not speak.
	I do a little bit too much talking, and that's why half the country hates me.
	And the other half loves you dearly.
	But doesn't that depend, so if you have that kind of option, you go with a, you know, low amount of lines role, there's always the question of, is the actor up to it?
	Does the actor build the backstory?
	Or, and I'm curious because I'm always wondering, you hear these stories of directors like Ridley Scott, Who give their actors no direction.
	None.
	Zero.
	Or, you know, George Lucas is famous for saying, all through the filming of Star Wars, he said, do it again, faster.
	I mean, that was the extent of his directorial input to the actors.
	If you're an actor, do you want input?
	Or do you say, no, no, no, no.
	I am the master of this character.
	I know how to play it.
	I'm curious, in practice, where's that balance?
	You know, I don't.
	It's hard to say because they're different.
	Directions have different amounts of control that they want from the actor.
	The sort of like general wisdom is that you don't tell an actor exactly how to say a line.
	You don't give them what we call a line Come on, guys.
	We got to go now.
	Right.
	Don't don't give them the line in the in the way that you want them to say it, but rather explain like this is your backstory.
	This is what you're thinking.
	That's why there's that cliche thing.
	What is my motivation?
	Right.
	The actor wants to be told everything around how to say the line, but not exactly how they need to be given that freedom.
	And with some actors, they'll actually be offended, like deeply offended if you give them a line reading, especially some big time actors like De Niro would would probably murder So, you've got to be kind of careful with some actors.
	Actors can be a little bit delicate.
	But at the end of the day, if you need a line set a certain way, I don't think a line reading is a bad thing to do, just to give them an example.
	Like, I've worked with actors before, you know, directing them in small films and little, you know, short films and stuff, where I've been kind of beating around the bush, giving them motivation.
	They've gone, well, how would you say it?
	You know, and then I say, and they go, ah, got it, okay.
	And then they automatically get it.
	So sometimes you just have to give a line reading.
	The amount of control just differs.
	Honestly, at the end of the day, if you're a good director, you're going to get good performances.
	If you're not a good director, you're not going to get good performances.
	Kurt Russell, obviously a genius actor, probably don't have to give that much direction.
	He's had a resurgence lately, and we love him even more, I think, today than we did back in the 80s.
	And allegedly.
	Don't tell anyone, he's one of us.
	Yeah.
	He loves it.
	No, yeah.
	A little libertarian-y.
	Yeah, a little libertarian-y, but that's okay.
	He'll educate himself, or we'll help him.
	But he's one of us.
	We're talking Escape from New York, John Carpenter, 1982, with our buddy, Mr. Reagan.
	That's his nom de guerre.

	Let's go.
	Let's go, let's go.
	Lee Van Cleef being chased off Manhattan by one of the Duke's flunkies.
	This film, you've said it so many times, we just, I guess...
	Well, we pick classics, therefore there is this recurrent theme with our movies, on Making Movies Great Again, that they're either sui generis, they're either unique, or they're kind of catalytic, and they spark their own genre, they create their own genre.
	This movie, and we've actually got people who have admitted it, like William Gibson,
	the author of Neuromancer, he said this movie was a key influence on his works, the cyberpunk
	movement.
	You look at how the bad guys are dressed here, it's total Mad Max.
	Not the Mad Max early movies, the Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome and so forth.
	So this whole cyberpunk, the dystopian future, like Blade Runner.
	I mean, there's so many computer games, Metal Gear, for example, directly influenced by this.
	So it's fascinating to see how one relatively low budget movie becomes a catalyst for so many other media products.
	Yeah, yeah.
	I mean, it's a great film.
	It's a great story.
	I think You know, when you have something that's this interesting in terms of the visuals, you can't help but to be successful with it in terms of its influence.
	However, I don't think even because there was quite a few films that had this sort of dystopian feel, I think, in the 1980s.
	Some of them were successful like this Blade Runner, I think probably even more so because it was a I think is a better made production Blade Runner.
	But, you know, and Mad Max and so on and so forth.
	But you do have to have a good story.
	Yes.
	And I think that this is a very simple story, but a very unique and interesting story.
	The hero, the anti-hero in this case, has to break into the prison and then take, you know, rescue somebody from inside the prison and then get out with his life and with the life of the person he's trying to save, in this case, the president.
	Very simple story, but very well told story.
	And Back then, because I don't think John Carpenter was really conservative, I think he was a little bit more of a lefty, but back then, just because you were left-wing didn't mean that you had to reject masculinity.
	Like today, I mean, everything about the left is influenced by feminism, They want this dino centric world.
	Everything has to be female oriented.
	We've got to destroy everything masculine.
	If you're a boy and you wrestle, then you're toxic.
	You know, every everything masculine is evil unless it's a lesbian and then it's fine.
	But back then in the 1980s, even somebody who was left leaning, they could make a film like this and it wouldn't be considered, you know, toxic or anything.
	It would just be considered a good Analogous to the stories of men.
	Historically, men have to do dangerous things to protect, you know, the delicate nature of society to protect the vulnerable.
	And I think that this film illustrates that beautifully.
	And that's why this is a successful movie, because the story is great.
	Yeah, and this scene that we're showing right now in the ring, which is actually filmed in Union Station, this, you know, Plissken with the baseball bat with the nails in it, fighting this huge, he's actually a pro wrestler.
	If this were made today, that would be like a 60-pound woman who would defeat the giant wrestler with some roundhouse kick and he'd be just knocked to the ground because he's white and he's male.
	Yeah, it's a great story, great acting, with a superb thing that's the device.
	I mean, this whole movie is built around one device.
	Manhattan has been turned into a prison.
	And apart from that, there's no politics here.
	Yeah, you may be commenting on corrupt presidents or whatever, but this isn't a left-wing movie.
	It's not a right-wing movie.
	It's just a rollicking good movie.
	That is the point.
	All right, let's do a little bit of nerding out here.
	So, Jamie Lee Curtis, of course, Jamie Lee Curtis, is the voice of the enunciator in the police headquarters at the beginning saying, if you don't want to be transferred to the prison, you can commit suicide now and your body will be removed.
	She's the voice over the Tannoys.
	The studios didn't believe Kurt Russell could be good for this.
	They wanted either Charles Bronson or Tommy Lee Jones.
	And John Carpenter said, uh-uh.
	No way.
	Not doing it.
	I want to have this guy.
	And that's why we get Kurt Russell.
	And where was it filmed?
	It was filmed...
	in east st louis which had burnt down in 1976 and had yet to be rebuilt so this isn't the back set this isn't this is burnt down east st louis which uh you know just looked the way it looked and then the bridge at the end i didn't even know this i love this i found this yesterday chris The bridge is the old Chain of Rocks bridge over the Mississippi, which, for reasons of liability, Carpenter bought from the government for one dollar so they could film everything, the explosions, everything else, and then he sold it back to the state for a dollar.
	Also, last piece of trivia, First movie to be filmed on Liberty Island, when they're underneath the Statue of Liberty.
	That is Liberty Island, which had experienced about four months previously a bomb attack.
	They were very leery of allowing a big production crew back on there, but they did.
	First film to be filmed on Liberty Island.
	Six, oh my gosh, six million dollars.
	It cost, and it grossed $25 million.
	That's quite a nice return.
	We are talking Escape from New York.
	If you haven't seen it, watch it.
	If you haven't seen it in a while, I haven't seen it in, I don't know, about a decade.
	Super fun.
	Go and watch it tonight.
	In the meantime, make sure you're following Chris at MrReaganUSA.
	I'm Sebastian Gawker.
	We're coming to you from the reliefactor.com studios.

	I literally limped to and from bed.
	Two days into Relief Factor and the pain decreased substantially.

	What do you have to lose?
	If the only answer to that question is the pain, you know what to do.
	Write the number down.
	800-500-83-84 reliefactor.com.
	That's 800-500-83-84 reliefactor.com.
	Alright, come in with your montage, Eric.
	That's 800-500-83-84 reliefactor.com.
	Alright, come in with your montage, Eric.
	Wait a minute. I know who you are.
	Yeah, but I heard you were dead.
	You're Snake Plissken, ain't you?
	What do you want?
	Nothing.
	I thought you were dead.
	Who's that?
	That's Maggie.
	Brain Squeeze.
	The Duke gave her the brain just to keep him happy.
	You know what I mean?
	I heard you were dead.
	Snake Plissken.
	I've heard of you.
	I heard you were dead.
	It's gotta be tough.
	Everybody thinks he's dead and everybody you meet says the same thing.
	I thought you were dead.
	Kurt Russell with the lead characters of the movie.
	It is, of course, Escape from New York.
	Final thoughts, final... Oh, I forgot to mention that we've got to have the gun thing.
	Let's talk about guns in this movie.
	A rather unusual choice of weapon for the hero or the anti-hero.
	This is his peculiar weapon.
	It is a Mac-10 submachine gun.
	One of the most inaccurate submachine guns on the planet.
	It fires 1,200 rounds a minute.
	Absolutely uncontrollable.
	And then the prop master put a whopping great big rifle scope
	on the top of it, which you can't actually use because the rifle scope is too far away from your eye.
	But I guess, oh, and here's the tribute from The Walking Dead.
	They actually made a copy of the gun to put in the hands of the chief villain in The Walking
	Dead as well.
	So iconic piece of movie history.
	Likewise, the way they did the, I think, the glider sequence,
	Chris, is pretty epic for a movie that cost $6 million to make.
	How did they fake the glider landing into Manhattan?
	Well, Dean Cundey was the director of photography, a guy who's legendary for The Thing or the Back to the Future movies, but of course it was James Cameron That helped build the model of Manhattan.
	Here you see it, a rather scaled down model of Manhattan with the World Trade Center.
	And how did they do the computer effect of flying through the gridded city of New York?
	They took that model, after they shot it, they painted it all black, and then they put yellow and white reflective tape on the model.
	And then filmed it in the dark.
	So what is actually looks like computer graphics isn't computer graphics.
	It's models with tape on it.
	Pretty ingenious, Chris.
	That's absolutely brilliant.
	I mean, it's absolutely brilliant.
	Yeah, they did that a lot back then.
	I think that they would I mean, you could film something that looks digital.
	Yeah.
	But, you know, the technology wasn't there to actually create the digital product that they were trying to create.
	And so they would have to fake it.
	And just amazing.
	Like Max Headroom was like this.
	Yes.
	You know, there's like a, you know, you do a little little ticks and everything.
	But he was just you just like plasticine or something like that all over his face to make But yeah, it's this weird thing in the 80s when they wanted something to look computer generated.
	Now computers are trying to make everything look super natural, very natural.
	It's kind of a funny thing.
	I got to say, I relate to Snake Plissken.
	Oftentimes I will post a video and it will do better than my typical videos.
	And so often, people write in the comment section, Mr. Reagan, I thought you were dead.
	Constantly, I get it.
	Haven't seen your videos in months.
	Thought you were dead every week.
	Every week.
	Who was it that said that?
	It wasn't Mark Twain.
	It was, who was that gay Irish guy?
	Who was that writer who said the reports of my death have been greatly exaggerated, right?
	Okay, we need a unit.
	Help me out.
	What is our unit of measurement for marks out of 10 for this movie?
	Oh gosh, eyepatches?
	Eyepatches, yes!
	Perfectly put!
	Eyepatches out of ten, we will be rating The Escape from New York with our two provisos that Mr. Reagan must rate it for a modern audience and I will rate it in the universe of all movies, so...
	It's a little slow.
	You know, the pacing is not quite modern pacing, especially for like the first, what, 30, 40 minutes.
	But nevertheless, what do you think a modern audience would think of Escape from New York?
	You know, it's such a weird movie because, you know, like we said, you've got that dichotomy between the caricature, the sort of cartoon-like aspect of some of the figures and whatnot, and then you've got things like the sexual assault of a woman and Snake Plissken just walks past it and you think, that is like real brutality.
	That's like the kind of thing you would really see in this kind of environment.
	They went for this weird.
	And so I think it is a little bit unnerving for some people.
	They're probably going to be.
	But also, it might be very impactful if they've not seen anything like this.
	So it could be very good.
	It could be very bad, depending on who you are.
	My friend Kurt also believes that it's a little bit slow paced.
	So I don't want to give it a poor score because I absolutely love this movie.
	But I can't.
	I don't think I can give it a super high score just because I think a modern So I think I have to get something like a six, which I really regret, but I think that's what I'm going to give it.
	No, that's sound.
	That's sound.
	I mean, it's, it's, it's, it is dated.
	Um, and, and the pacing is a tad slow.
	Um, it's, I think in comparison to another carpenter movie, like the thing, the things pacing is much, much, much tighter.
	So yeah, there, there is a little bit of a, an issue there with, with, with how it was made.
	In the panoply of universe, you know, the universe of movies, I'm going to say I like it.
	It's not great.
	Great movie.
	I'm going to give it a six and a half.
	Is that is that too tough?
	No, you know, I probably give it a seven, but I love it personally.
	I like I just personally, I love this movie.
	I might even give it an eight just because I like it so much.
	Personally, I think I actually kind of prefer it to.
	Oh God, what's the movie that's in Chinatown?
	Oh, Big Trouble in Little China.
	Big Trouble in China.
	Even though Big Trouble in China is probably a more fun movie.
	It is!
	It's a lot more fun.
	A lot more fun.
	Just an absolute blast.
	I kind of prefer this one, and I'm really not sure why.
	Just my own personal weird taste.
	You are a peculiar cat.
	I am.
	You are interesting.
	Interesting.
	All right!
	I kind of relate to Plissken deep down.
	Don't we all?
	All right, we're going to spin the wheel.
	It's your turn, Mr. Coles.
	What will we be reviewing this time next week?
	This is kind of a bizarre one.
	You've actually mentioned this movie last week, and it was one that I had in mind when I picked Escape from Alcatraz.
	But weirdly, it's sort of almost like a mashup between Escape from Alcatraz and Escape from New York.
	Because we got two escape movies here.
	But this one's also breaking into a prison.
	It's a sort of almost like a sequel.
	Some, you know, unofficial sequel to Escape from Alcatraz.
	Uh, it's called The Rock.
	Ah!
	I'm actually very happy you said that.
	That's the movie I watched in Portugal on my honeymoon with my wife.
	And at home we always just call it Il Rockido.
	We watched it with Portuguese subtitles.
	Great, great movie.
	It's one of Sean Connery's last great performances.
	I can't wait.
	And Nicolas Cage!
	We need more Nicolas Cage on the show!
	Follow him.
	He is the Alpha Critic on YouTube, the Mr Reagan channel as well.
	I'm Sebastian Gawker.
	You've been making movies great again.
	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.
