♪♪ ♪♪
♪♪ This is America First with Sebastian Gorka, and I'm very proud to introduce our guest host for today, Jennifer Horne.
Well, I am very happy to be here today.
Thank you, Dr. Sebastian Gorka.
Always love those personal introductions.
I'm Jennifer Horne, happy to be in for Dr. G on America First.
Happy Friday.
I host The Morning Answer in Los Angeles on AM 870, AM 590.
The Answer, you hear me here Wednesdays with our crazy California updates that we have so much fun with.
But today is not only Friday the 13th, Today is also the global day of jihad.
Now, if you probably have been anywhere but under a rock over the last 24 hours, you've probably heard that the former leader of Hamas has called on a day of rage, a day of jihad, and that has caused, well, security to go up all over the United States.
People worried about what might happen, especially areas with heavy Jewish populations or Muslim populations.
I'm here in Los Angeles, The LAPD and the LA Sheriff's Department on full alert today, especially in those communities.
The New York Police Department, they've pretty much got everybody who has a uniform in a uniform today patrolling the area.
So far as we go to air today, we haven't had any problems here at home, but there have been problems overseas.
If you're catching up, there was a big attack of an Israeli embassy employee in Beijing.
Someone who was stabbed now that person is expected to survive but there was a stabbing and This was all linked to the day of rage the global jihad Also, counter-terror police are working today.
They're investigating after a teacher was stabbed to death at a French school earlier today.
This story, unbelievable.
This man enters the school, kills the teacher, stabs the headmaster and someone else, screaming, Allah Akbar.
And they believe, of course, all of this is related to that request.
from the former leader of Hamas. This person—and you'll wait for this because you can draw some
amazing lines between what is going on in our country with our open borders
today and what's going on in France—apparently, this person, 20 years old, the alleged knife man,
he was on the list to be deported.
He was in France illegally since 2014.
They were surveilling him.
They had him wiretapped.
They had physical surveillance on this guy, yet they still were unable to interrupt this attack in the school.
And what happened?
Why was he still in the country?
Well, some pro-migrant groups had tried to block his deportation.
Guys, we are tripping all over ourselves to be nice, to be kind to people who have nothing but Terror on their mind.
And this happened in France, but you could see the same thing happening in the United States with leftists in the country fighting to keep people in the country who have bad intentions.
Happened in France and now a woman is dead today and two others are fighting for their lives.
Now, it was interesting, as I started my day today, I popped onto Instagram and Twitter, or X, as they like to call it now, and I saw our familiar face, our friend, Dr. Sebastian Gorka, kind of addressing this.
He's flying today.
He's in Washington State for a speaking engagement.
And as he gets on the plane, he talked about what the global day of jihad means to all of us.
Video cut one.
Morning guys.
Happy Friday.
A lot of people talking about the terror threat today.
Friday the 13th.
Hamas announcement.
It is a global attack coordinated for today.
Here's my take.
After 30 years of doing national security, counter-terrorism for the U.S.
government, here's a little tip.
Terrorists don't tell you in advance they're going to attack.
Okay?
The point is to make you afraid now.
A firefighter buddy of mine cancelled his flight today.
His family said too dangerous.
Well, it's 7 a.m.
I'm at the airport.
I'm on my way to Seattle to see some MAGA patriots.
I'm not saying nothing will happen, but don't let them get to you, because that's what they want.
So stay frosty, have practical awareness, and we will crush them.
God bless.
Dr. G is going to be with us later in the program today on America First.
833-33-GORKA.
We'll talk to him about keeping ourselves safe.
Of course, everybody feels, I think, a little shook after seeing the images in Israel over the weekend, but you cannot let the terrorists win.
Dr. G is right about that.
You have to keep your eyes open and you have to remember situational awareness.
And if it takes a day like today to remind yourself of that, well, use that as the silver lining to just keep your eyes open.
Don't put your face into a cell phone or have your headphones on.
Pay attention to your surroundings.
But we cannot let them win.
Staying home, shutting down schools as we've seen in New York and Los Angeles, it's not the answer.
And my question for all of you today, and kind of our ongoing theme today on America First, 833-33-GORGA, unfortunately, just a serious week.
How much of what we're seeing in Israel with Hamas is happening because the Biden administration, Democrats in general, the left in this country has actually enabled us?
How many fingerprints American fingerprints are on the death and the destruction in Israel that happened over the weekend.
We've learned this week, Wall Street Journal has done some great reporting on this, that the Hamas attack was planned after our botched withdrawal from Afghanistan.
Think about what Afghanistan did to the entire world.
It empowered Vladimir Putin.
It empowered China.
It empowered Iran to start engaging with Hamas terrorists to try to make what we saw this week and over the weekend possible.
All because Joe Biden was intent on getting out of Afghanistan, no matter what the cost.
Now, Democrats, Joe Biden, Barack Obama before him, all of them together, I think that appeasing Iran is somehow going to make them like us.
This is a group of people that are literally chanting death to Iran in their government chambers, in their parliament.
And we think somehow if we're nice to them, if we give them enough money, that somehow they're going to let us fly.
Because right now it's Israel.
Right now it's the Jews.
But don't think it's not the Christians.
Don't think it's every single one of us who embrace Western culture.
It's us next.
And you've got Biden and you've got Obama and you've got their administrations and the entire left tripping over themselves to hand them money.
We've heard the story now about Rob Malloy.
Rob Malloy in the Obama administration was in place to be the architect of the Iran nuclear deal.
What did we learn about Rob Molloy?
He has a lady friend within the government of Iran who has direct ties to Hamas.
They're sharing information.
He is pro-Hamas.
Comments from him in 2016 saying, well, Hamas isn't all that bad.
They're misunderstood.
No, they are stone-cold terrorists who behead babies.
$6 billion.
We're worried about that.
But what about the $60 billion in money that has gone to Iran during the Biden administration because of their energy policies, because of the sanctions that were relieved or loosened on Iran so that they were able to profit off of the last three years of Joe Biden?
And of course, that $6 billion, which now America is saying, well, we better refreeze that money again, only because of the criticism that's come from people like us, from Americans going, wait a second, what are you doing?
We don't care if this money in particular was marked for terror or not.
It's $6 billion in the bank account of Iran, who has made it their mission to kill Jews, kill Americans, and kill Western culture.
Now, you also have the anti-Israel rhetoric that's going on.
You have Schools around the country, here in my hometown of Los Angeles, UCLA, you've got Harvard, where it is pro-Palestinian, pro-Hamas.
And Joe Biden, after having his barbecue this weekend, finally gets to a microphone, and yes, says the right things about standing with Israel, but doesn't have the nerve or the backbone to one time mention Iran, who this attack from Hamas This war would not be possible without their financial funding.
So the question to you today, and we're going to get updates about what's happening in Israel right now because the ground attack is getting ready to be underway, but the question to you today, 833-33-GORKA, how many fingerprints from the Biden administration and from leftists in this country belong on the war that is happening today?
833-33-GORKA.
I'm Jennifer Horne in for Dr. Sebastian Gorka.
Thanks for joining us.
It's America First.
you you
you I
I'm Sebastian Gorka on America First.
Let's get back to the show with Jennifer Horn.
Thanks for joining us.
Welcome back to America First.
I'm Jennifer Horn, in for Dr. Sebastian Gorka today.
Pleasure to be with all of you on what's been a really tough week.
I know there's been a heaviness in the air as we watch the images that we, I think, can't even understand.
People brutalized over the weekend at the hands of Hamas.
In Israel to get an idea as to what's happening right now as we hear that Israel is going to be launching starting their ground offensive into Gaza.
Julio Rosas is here.
He is an independent journalist.
You can give him a follow on all the social media platforms at Julio underscore Rosas 11 and get on his sub stack right now Julio Rosas dot sub stack dot com Julio, thanks for being with us live from Tel Aviv right now.
Tell us what's going on.
And first of all, we're so glad you're safe.
Let that be said first.
Thank you.
So actually right now, as you mentioned, I'm in Tel Aviv, but there are cities to the south of here that are currently under rocket attacks from Hamas.
And so that has intensified from last night.
Last night was relatively calm, and that's putting it mildly.
But the reason why that there has been a greater response from Hamas on the southern end is
because Israel and IDF is really putting the screws on them with the number of airstrikes
and artillery strikes, along with they're going to be cutting off their Internet here
very shortly.
They've been ordered, or they've told civilians in the northern part of Gaza to head south
because they don't want them there.
There are reports that Hamas is not allowing that to happen.
So it's becoming a very, very, it's going to be intensified.
In that region within the next couple of hours.
And on top of that, there's been a lot of activity on the Jordan side and on the Lebanon side of Israel's borders.
And so that's why Israel hasn't gone full bore into Gaza because they know if they do really open up that front, it can be sure that the eastern part and the northern part of their borders can also be new battlegrounds as well.
So we'll get to Hezbollah in just a moment because we heard from them today, but let's stay with Hamas and let's stay with Gaza because Israel is engaging with traditional warfare tactics.
They're not just going into Gaza, they've been dropping pamphlets, they've been sounding the alarms, they notified the UN that this ground attack is going to be coming.
And we have heard those same reports that you have, that Hamas is keeping people in What's your take on how many innocents might still be stuck in Gaza?
Because you would think that if you hear these warnings that you would go, but if Hamas is preventing you from leaving, what do you think?
I mean, is there still going to be a high civilian toll here?
And is that something that Israel is going to have to consider as they move in?
I mean, that's the sad reality for urban warfare, especially in a place that's as contained as Gaza.
So, I mean, people have been able to heed the warnings that Israel has given them, but that hasn't been the case for many.
from what we've been able to find out so far.
And that's kind of, again, that's one of the reasons why, I mean, yes, obviously there has to be a response
to what happened on Saturday, but people are, you know, asking why don't they just go all in?
And it's because urban warfare is, it's a thing of nightmares, really.
I mean, being in the Marine Corps, we learned a lot about the Battle of Hue City in Vietnam and the Battle of Fallujah, and how those were some of the highest casualty rates for those wars.
And for good reason, because when you're in an urban setting, there's just so many There's so many things to take into account.
Civilians, obviously, is one of them.
So, yes, Israel is doing their best to try to avoid civilian casualties, but Hamas knows that they have the upper hand on this when they put their weapon caches in civilian centers and they have their command centers where civilians are.
And now, on top of that, they have to—Israel also has to consider all the hostages that were taken last week.
What are you hearing about the hostage situation? Of course, we know that this is a Hamas tactic,
by the way, because they want the world to turn against Israel and they want to have those
civilian casualties. But give us a sense of the Americans that are still stuck in Israel,
that are trying to get out. We hear that flights may start up again today to try to evacuate
Americans. There's, I know, tens of thousands of Americans that live there. Obviously,
a lot were there for the holiday. And then as far as hostages go, we're now hearing maybe 14
Americans are caught up in the hostages. Yeah. And it's a little complicated because
Israel has said that they do not want American forces or special forces to conduct hostage rescue operations and I think that's partly because they have a better sense on on obviously where their forces are.
And if you're bringing in a third party, then they can get caught up in one of the strikes
that, and obviously we wouldn't want that.
And unfortunately, there was a journalist that was killed supposedly by an Israeli strike
in the northern part of the country.
So that's a sad fact of war in these chaotic situations is that mistakes happen.
And so when it comes to the hostages, I think that it's really a nightmare scenario because
they might know where they are, but then Hamas might move them to places where they don't
want to be struck because so that they don't get killed by Israeli airstrikes.
So right now, it does seem like that a ground assault is going to happen down by Sderot, which is in the southern part of the country.
I saw so many troops and so many troop movements than the most I had ever seen since I've gotten
into Israel this week.
So they're definitely staging for something big.
Whether or not they're going to follow through on it, that kind of remains to be seen.
But the fact that Hamas has the hostages and they're trying to exchange prisoners for them,
their own prisoners, that has just added a whole other layer of complication to this
this already tragic situation.
Now, I'm going to go ahead and close this out.
Now, Hezbollah, we talked about them earlier, and this is a whole other headache that has been unfolding this week.
At first they said they would not get involved in the conflict.
Now we're hearing that they are, that they are willing to stand side by side with Hamas.
What is this going to mean if we've got now a multi-front war that Israel's trying to deal with, in addition to not killing innocents and also especially the hostages that are in Hamas custody?
Well, the benefit to the northern front is that they don't have hostages on that side at least, as of right now.
But obviously, the classic adage is you don't want to fight a war on two fronts.
That's not to say Israel doesn't have experience in that, and they have been victorious in the past, but you can understand that there's some There's some hesitation about just how effective things are, given what happened Saturday.
But I mean, I can't say that people are very confident in their military, not so much the government, which is kind of, for obvious different reasons, but it's kind of mirroring what we experienced back in the States, where, you know, the trust in these institutions that are supposed to look out for us, and they fail in massive ways for different things.
And so obviously a war is very different.
We appreciate you.
We want you to stay safe.
Follow him right now at Julio underscore Rosas 11.
You can also find him on Substack Julio Rosas dot Substack dot com.
Julio, please be safe out there.
We'll be praying for you and thanks for getting us the real information.
An independent journalist on the scene right now in Tel Aviv.
Julio Rosas, thank you so much.
Jennifer Horn in for Dr. Sebastian Gorka.
This is America First.
you you
I'm Sebastian Gorka on America First, let's get back to the show with Jennifer Horn.
Bye.
Thank you, Dr. G. Welcome back to America First.
I'm Jennifer Horn in for Dr. Gorka today.
Don't forget, you can follow him on all of the social media platforms at Seb Gorka and of course on Substack, sebastiangorka.substack.com.
Now, as we head into the weekend, just imagine that it was only last Saturday when the peace of Israel was shattered by horrifying attacks from brutal Hamas terrorists targeting innocent civilians, including women and children.
Now, Dr. G has announced his partnership with the International Federation of Christians and Jews and invited you to donate whatever you felt like you could give.
And so far, America First listeners have really, really stepped up, so inspiring, to help children and families hit by war in Israel.
Your generosity prompted Yale Eckstein, the President and CEO of the International Federation of Christians and Jews, to send this message directly to you from Jerusalem.
This is an unprecedented situation, and we cannot do it.
We can't respond.
We can't hear the cries for food and water if we don't have your support.
So I would say to all of the listeners, I know the Salem listeners love God, that they love the Bible and believe, now is the time to comfort, comfort my people.
And so I am asking the listeners who Pray for Israel, who love Israel, who stand with Israel, to fill that biblical mandate to feed the hungry, to clothe the naked, because never in Israel's history have we needed that support more than now.
If you want to help Israel in its darkest hour, just go to sebgorka.com.
Do it right now.
Click on the Israel at War banner to make an emergency donation.
The need is great.
Or you can phone your donation to 800-241-7771.
Again, that's 800-241-7771.
Again, that's 800-241-7771.
Your generosity is always appreciated.
All right, back to the program.
Now talking about Joe Biden, the Biden administration, the Obama administration before him, and quite frankly, the left's approach to Israel, whether or not we've created the perfect circumstances for Hamas to target the Jews in Israel, to target Israelis, and to make their hatred for Western culture and Christians just like us known throughout the world.
Now, you've got Americans who are being held hostage at the hands of Hamas.
People are terrified.
There was a video that went viral of this man who started crying when he found out that his kids were dead rather than be in the hands in the custody of Hamas.
He was more grateful that his children were dead off the planet because Hamas is brutal.
You have families around the country who would like to feel like this administration is trying to get their family members back.
Well, we heard from Joe Biden.
Today we know exactly what Joe Biden is going to do with those families who have hostages now being held in Gaza.
Video cut to.
Why do you feel so strongly about speaking to these families personally on Zoom?
Because I think they have to know that the President of the United States of America cares deeply about what's happening.
Deeply.
We have to communicate to the world this is critical.
This is not even human behavior.
It's pure barbarism.
And we're going to do everything in our power to get them home if we can find them.
Look, he's not wrong about anything that he just said.
In fact, he's absolutely right.
And the speeches that he's made this week, absolutely right.
But ask yourself today, if you've got a family member who is in custody with Hamas, are you happy with the Zoom call from the president?
He's going to, like, ringy-dingy you up?
You get a little five-minute Zoom with him?
How about bringing those families to the White House?
How about the president going to meet those families?
That's what President Trump would have done.
That's what real leadership would have done, but instead we're going to get a Zoom call?
I mean, it's like a consolation prize.
Oh, we're sorry your family's captured, but here's a Zoom call.
No, give me some action items.
Make something tangible that is going to happen to make people feel like the United States government is trying to recover its citizens.
Be proactive.
Be more proactive in bringing Americans who are there in Israel back home.
I mean, anybody else feel like this is just absolutely crazy that Joe Biden's offering Zoom calls to family members when their kids are in Hamas's hands?
833-33-GORKA.
It's just another reason.
You just realize how incredibly far, not just our country, but the world has fallen in the three years since President Trump was in office.
This would not have happened with his leadership.
The world respected the United States now because of Afghanistan primarily and because of the weak foreign policy and the just desire to want to appease American-hating Iranian government officials.
We're in a position where we have now empowered all of our enemies.
Iran, terrorist groups, Russia, China.
833-33-GORKA.
We'll take your phone calls on that.
Just what fingerprints do the left have on all of this?
833-33-GORKA.

I'm Sebastian Gorka on America First.
Let's get back to the show with Jennifer Horne.
Thank you, Dr. G. Welcome back to America First.
I'm Jennifer Horn, in for Seb today.
And we'll take some of your phone calls.
833-33 Gorka, all hour long.
We've been talking about the war that is going on now.
Israel readying their ground attack on Gaza, on Hamas.
They are getting attacked on two fronts now.
It seems Hezbollah has come out today and confirmed they will stand with Hamas and make this a war from the north and the south.
For Israel.
But what part of this did our country play in the atrocities that were committed over the weekend?
Iran is the leading state sponsor of terror on this planet.
We know that they fund Hamas.
We know they fund Hezbollah for that matter.
And we have done nothing, or at least the Biden administration, the Obama administration before them, leftists in this country have done nothing but try to appease the Iranians.
Under President Trump, we were at peace with weak leadership, failed withdrawals from Afghanistan, money freed up on all fronts, not just the $6 billion you're hearing the administration flip-flop on, but about, excuse me, $6 billion, $60 billion in money that was freed up because of our energy policies, because of this ridiculous climate change agenda, and because of the loosening of sanctions that had been in place during the Trump administration.
This money has been helping prop up the Iranian terror regime, which is now funding Hamas, which has led to the death of hundreds of innocent civilians, including Americans.
833-33-GORKA will start on line number one, Don in Los Angeles.
Hey, Don!
Jennifer Horn.
Warrior Princess twice in one day.
How great!
Exactly, Don.
Thank you.
Don joined us on the Morning Answer.
I host that show 6 to 9 a.m.
on AM 870 and AM 590 in Southern California alongside Grant Stinchfield.
God, it's great.
It's like getting a double scoop of your favorite ice cream.
This is so cool.
You're the sweetest, Don.
What's on your mind?
Well, you know, you're so right about this business, about this going back to Obama.
And you always wonder, what is the Iranian connection with Obama?
And it goes to Valerie Jarrett, you know.
For those that don't know, she's called the Obama Whisperer.
She's one of his closest confidantes, going back to the Chicago days.
Well, she was born in Iran.
Her father and her uncle were doctors, and in Iran they were on the side of the faction that was against America in the first place.
They overthrew the Shah.
We put the Shah back in power.
So it goes back a long ways.
So she has these deep connections to the anti-American people in Iran.
Iran, and I think that's where a lot of this comes from.
Because the Judicial Watch did a Freedom of Information request on the communist connections of her father and her uncle.
And they could only get so much information, because obviously that's very confidential, but all the FBI could tell them was that they had a father and the uncle had extensive communist connections.
And so you look at Obama's pedigree, So does he!
I mean, let's face it.
Yeah.
You know, and so this anti-Americanism and going to transform America and use Iran as part of the weapon, it's nothing new.
You know, anybody that's an ally of America is Obama's friend.
It's just the truth.
You know what, Don?
You are absolutely right.
Nailing it as usual.
Don, thanks so much for the phone call.
833-33-GORKA.
One line open right now.
Let's go to line three.
Dave in Arizona.
Hi, Dave.
You're on America First.
Ultra-mega-happy-warrior-dittos from State 48.
Great to talk to you.
Ultra-mega!
Love it!
I'm encouraged that people in the mainstream, the mainstream information consumers, have finally realized that this is clearly Obama 3.0.
But let's not quite give the guilted, old, pathetic GOP party a pass.
Here in State 48, we've seen the destruction for years, if not decades.
And I ask this question of my friends, You're right, and thank you for the phone call.
who used to be a Republican and now our constitutional sheriffs not have a duty under that great
document to defend our southern sovereign border. I'm not sure why we keep looking to
the federal government to solve our problems. We should do so locally and the federal government
should just be a backstop, correct? Thank you.
You're right and thank you for the phone call. And when states do try to defend their own
borders, you can see Arizona and Texas particularly, then they get the pushback from the Biden
administration and what you bring up is a sad one.
We support law enforcement.
We support the Border Patrol.
The Border Patrol is incredibly talented, and they're being given orders not to enforce the borders of this country in stark contrast to the Constitution.
We need leadership that's going to allow these people to do the job that they can absolutely do.
833-33-GORKA.
Let's go to Alex in Brooklyn on Line 2.
Hi, Alex!
Jennifer Alex.
You're on America first.
Hi.
Yeah.
Hi.
Great to talk with you.
Uh, when you ask about our Joe Biden's fingerprints on this, I mean, Joe Biden, he was going to save the environment by stopping production of gasoline here in this country.
Well, that didn't work out very well.
Because that opened a industry for the Iranians to make 60, $70 billion, which they then used to, uh, support terror.
And fund terrorist organizations, which I think hurts the environment to some extent.
I think when missiles are flying, when bullets are out there, it's not so good for the environment.
But I was calling specifically about the southern border.
Today Hamas called for a day of terror, a day of hate.
And the FBI came out and said that we don't know about any threats of terrorism that people need to be concerned about today.
And I obviously believe everything is from God, everything is from above.
There's a responsibility that people have, and I don't know that I really buy what the FBI is saying.
I don't know how competent we can be.
Well, we question everything, right?
Yeah, we have four million—no, but this is more than that.
We have four million gotaways, and you don't turn yourself in when you get all these free service stuff, only if you're a criminal, right?
Because you want to get away.
You don't want to be held accountable if you're a terrorist.
So we don't know where these people are.
We don't know what their intentions are, but I'm— You know, Alex, you're making a great point.
And to put it into context, the Biden administration right now is telling people that are stuck in Israel to buy a plane ticket to get home.
Yet they're putting people who are legally crossing into this country into hotels and giving them a whole life.
So you make a great point.
The border is wide open.
The FBI has no idea who's come into this country.
Millions of people have come in unchecked.
It is absolutely possible And likely that terrorists have come into our country through our southern border.
So for the FBI to say there's nothing credible, maybe they don't have anything on their radar.
But to pretend that we shouldn't be on high alert at all times?
We're kidding ourselves.
You've got to be aware of your surroundings.
You've got to look for something that seems strange.
You've got to protect yourself and your family.
Alright, Jennifer Horne in for Dr. Sebastian Gorka.
833-33-GORKA.
We will take your calls next.
833-33-GORKA.
833-33-GORKA. This is America First.
I'm Sebastian Gorka on America First, let's get back to the show with Jennifer Horne!
Thanks, Dr. G. Welcome back to America First.
I am Jennifer Horne.
You can give me a follow at Jennifer Horne Radio on Instagram and Facebook, at Jennifer Horne on Truth and Twitter, and you can check out the morning answer 6 to 9 a.m.
in Los Angeles on AM 870 and AM 590, the answer where I am every weekday.
All right, so does the Biden administration own some of what is happening with the Hamas attacks on Israel and now Subsequently, the war.
Anne in Hollywood on Line 4.
You're up next on America First.
Hi, Anne!
Hi there, Jennifer.
We love you at 6 in the morning, and we love you even more at noon.
I love it.
The 6 o'clock club in the house.
Yes, yes.
And absolutely, to add to your first caller, Dawn, Obama's not just fingerprints, the hands of Obama and Biden.
Don't forget, Biden was the vice president.
And his department right now are the same people that were in Obama's administration.
So it's not fingerprints, it's the hands of Obama, Biden, Valerie Jarrett, Susan Rice, John Kerry, Rob Malley, they were all pro Hamas, they were all pro Iran.
They were sending billions of monies to so-called Palestinian aid, and it wasn't used to.
Help these poor people.
It was used to help Ammas against their own people.
And let's remember Obama's famous words, Islam is a religion of peace.
Yeah.
And terrorists just need jobs.
Remember, they would be fine if they just had money and jobs.
They wouldn't be terrorists.
There is such a lack.
It's either intentional and or it is legitimately misunderstood that terrorists operate at all costs.
There is no human empathy.
They don't look at a child and say, that child is not my target.
They look at a baby and a child as a potential future soldier, and they have no problems beheading and killing those children.
There is no human empathy.
There is no grace given by terrorists.
They are operating because they think they are doing it in the name of God.
They are extremists to the core.
And somehow, the Obama administration, now the Biden administration, leftists in this country think if we're nice to people, we can get them to change their mind.
If we give them money, if we say that there is a, oh, we need to give people jobs, it's unemployment, give me a break.
This is a hatred that they believe is condoned And serving God.
We have to figure out whether that's intentional or not, because if you listen to Joe Biden from 20 years ago, he sounds a whole lot different than the guy today.
The guy today is saying all the right stuff about standing with Israel, but he is not mentioning Iran.
He is not talking about the root of the problem.
We should be thinking about how we can go in and make real changes in Iran, because they want to kill people in America, and even their own people have turned against them.

Stephen, thanks for being with us!
Hi Jennifer!
I call you the hardest working woman in Hollywood because you're on the radio like eight hours a day.
I love doing your show there in Los Angeles and it's great to have you on the Sebastian Gorka Show.
I love it, and I love that we're all friends and kind of running in the same circle, Stephen.
There's so much a need to talk about what's really happening behind the scenes and what set the stage for the atrocities that we saw over the weekend.
You had Hamas butchering people, gutting people in Israel, a sneak attack that was funded, we know, by Iran.
And you kind of have to look back and go, what happened?
Yes, there were intelligence failures.
That's to be determined where that came from and at what level.
But you have to think that the Biden administration has their fingerprints all over this, Stephen.
And I know we talked about it a little bit on the show this week on The Morning Answer, but much of the economic policies and the foreign policies of Joe Biden's administration set the stage perfectly for Iran to fund Hamas to do this attack.
Well, that's the big story here on the economic and finance front.
I've talked about this on your show week after week now for two and a half years.
You can verify that I've warned about this, that not only was the Biden war on American energy an economic Catastrophe because it depleted us of about $100 billion a year in GDP, but also it was a national security crisis because the money that we weren't producing here by producing our own oil went to people like Vladimir Putin, and it went to countries like the OPEC countries, including Iran.
And we've known for 30 or 40, 50 years that the way these terrorists at Hamas and other terrorist groups are being funded in the Middle East is through petrodollars.
So, you know, the Iranians—I was just looking up these statistics, They've dramatically increased their oil revenues in the two and a half years that Biden has been president because we're producing less of it.
So this is a long-winded answer.
What I'm saying is that these are unforced errors by our administration, and I don't think that Putin would have had the money to go into Ukraine, and I don't know if Hamas would have had the money to attack Israel like this if we had simply drilled for American oil.
Yeah, and also you kind of add in the withdrawal from Afghanistan and how that was reflected on the world stage.
And so now you've got, from the economy side, we've freed all these countries up, our adversaries, to have enough money and power to do what they want to do.
And they realize that there's not going to be any fight back.
From Joe Biden, because they see what he did in Afghanistan.
I mean, in three years time, you see what the economy has done now under Biden compared to what it was doing under President Trump, even during a pandemic.
And you see how that is so directly correlated with our national security and global security.
So one of the things I wanted to make sure I said, and what you just said is exactly right.
But I got a couple of emails and texts from people who heard me on your show yesterday.
Explaining something to me that actually I had forgotten about, which was that this whole policy of appeasing Iran really started with Barack Obama.
Remember that, Jen?
That's right.
This was the Obama policy.
Then Trump came in and clamped down on Iran and nearly bankrupted that country with all the sanctions on their oil.
And then what did Biden do?
He came in and he just reversed all the Trump policies.
And, you know, now for the Biden administration—have you seen that Biden is trying to blame this on Trump?
Have you seen this?
It's unbelievable.
I have seen it.
And they said—and you know, my favorite with this, and I think it was John Kirby who did it, who said that the Trump—or it was Antony Blinken, actually, the Secretary of State who's in Israel.
He's been all over the Middle East today.
But he said something to the effect that this was the money that they earned under President Trump.
Well, yeah, but they actually didn't get their hands on it because of the sanctions.
And it's not just the $6 billion, which of course is a huge sticking point as to why that was relieved.
And we actually put a price tag on human heads now because we will pay for terrorists, but excuse me, we'll pay for hostages.
But Stephen, there's also reporting that all of the money that has been quietly relieved in sanctions, and then as you mentioned, the energy money that's flown into Iran, we're not talking about just $6 billion, we're talking about like $50 billion.
Yeah, we're talking about tens of billions.
Again, I'm so glad you brought this up, because it really—look, $6 billion is a whole heck of a lot of money.
We know that.
But we're talking about tens of billions of dollars that have gone to Iran in this oil money.
And it has blood on it.
You know, it used to be said, no blood for oil.
You know, we're not producing American oil, so we're trading that for blood in our allied countries.
We have to just stop this right now.
There's a lot of ways we can deter this kind of action, but step number one should be Biden should simply say, we're going to produce every single barrel of oil here in the United States we possibly can.
But, Jen, I don't recall him saying that.
Do you?
No, no, of course not.
He's not going to go back on it.
And that's what really I think is kind of the theme that we've been talking about all day today.
And it is both Biden and Obama and leftist thought now.
It is either extremely short-sighted and stupid, or it's intentional.
They're not listening to people like you, Steve Moore.
who are saying, we are doing nothing to help ourselves.
You're trying to change the climate.
Now you have got a war that's broken out in the Middle East.
You have Russia invading Ukraine.
And how much have you changed the climate?
The answer is zip, zero, all because they don't want to drill.
And it's so it's either short-sighted or stupid, or it's intentional.
And then for what reason?
Why did they have these, these bad ways to move forward for our country?
I mean, this is chaos.
Well, there are a lot of policies, most of which that Biden has come out with, that I have objected to on economic grounds.
And, you know, reasonable people can disagree about policies.
I think most of them have been a disaster.
But when you look at the energy policy, It's hard to really explain how this is anyone's.
In other words, it seems like the only explanation is you're trying to intentionally cripple the American economy.
Because last year, in 2022, the amount of oil that was used, fossil fuels use globally was more than any other time in the history of the world.
So it's not like we're reducing Global demand for oil.
It's just that the oil isn't coming from Texas and Oklahoma and North Dakota and Alaska.
It's coming from Iran.
It's coming from Saudi Arabia.
It's coming from Russia and other countries like Venezuela that are hostile to the United States.
So, from a national security perspective, from a jobs perspective, from an economic growth perspective, from reducing our budget deficit perspective, none of this, Jennifer, makes any sense.
No, it certainly doesn't.
And that was another one of the big whoppers they told this week in the Biden administration.
And it seems like we're just keeping a list here.
But they made a comment that the United States is producing more oil than we ever have.
That's how they're answering their critics.
But we're not meeting our needs.
We are no longer energy independent, which we were under President Trump.
I'm so glad you brought this up.
We just did a study at the Committee to Unleash Prosperity by Casey Morgan, one of the top economists in the country at the University of Chicago.
We estimate that if we had just stuck with—it is true that we're producing a lot of oil now, but that's because, you know, the price of oil has gone way, way up.
And so it's the loss of supply and demand.
But we should be producing and we would be producing About 2 or 3 million more barrels every day, John.
Now, do the math there.
That means at $85 a barrel, we're losing somewhere in the neighborhood of $200 million a day, every day, that we should be producing that's being produced by someone else.
Now, who do you think that someone else is?
It's Saudi Arabia.
It's Russia.
It's Iran.
It's Venezuela.
All the countries that are hostile to the United States.
Yeah, that are shouting, death to America, death to Israel, death to the Jews.
And somehow we are surprised when something like this happens, because we are literally feathering the nest of these countries to go after their adversaries that are our allies.
Stephen, we're always great to have you here.
I want to mention one other thing.
20 seconds.
20 seconds.
We've also completely depleted our strategic reserve.
Of course.
We have a reserve for a rainy day like this, and now the crisis comes and we don't have any oil in the reserve.
I mean, how dumb is that?
It's empty.
It is dumb.
It's either dumb, intentional, or stupid.
That's the problem.
Those are the choices.
A3333 Gorka, Stephen Moore, thank you so much.

Jennifer Horne in for Dr. Sebastian Gorka.
This is Dr. Sebastian Gorka.
We'll see you next time.
Bye for now.
Bye.
I'm Sebastian Gorka on America First.
Let's get back to the show with Jennifer Horne.
Thanks, Dr. Sebastian Gorka.
He'll be with us in just a few moments.
Imagine that, right back here on America First, his own show.
I'm hosting today.
I'm Jennifer Horne.
Thanks for being with us.
As we head into the weekend, just imagine it was only last Saturday when the peace of Israel was shattered by horrifying attacks, truly, from brutal Hamas terrorists targeting innocent civilians, including women and children.
Seb announced his partnership with the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews and invited you to donate whatever you felt you could give.
And so far, you America First listeners have been so generous and really, really stepped up to the plate to help children and families hit by the war in Israel.
And your generosity actually prompted Yale Eckstein, the president and CEO of the Fellowship of Christians and Jews, to send this message directly from Jerusalem.
This is an unprecedented situation, and we cannot do it.
We can't respond.
We can't hear the cries for food and water if we don't have your support.
So I would say to all of the listeners, I know the Salem listeners love God, that they love the Bible and believe, now is the time to comfort, comfort my people.
And so I am asking the listeners who Pray for Israel, who love Israel, who stand with Israel, to fill that biblical mandate to feed the hungry, to clothe the naked, because never in Israel's history have we needed that support more than now.
Now, if you want to help Israel in its darkest hour, and they are going to need the help moving forward, go to sebgorka.com, click on the Israel at War banner to make an emergency donation.
It says Israel at War right on top of the homepage, sebgorka.com, or you can call to make a donation, 800-241-7771.
800-241-7771. Again, that number is 800-241-7771 or sebgorka.com.
Now, a little bit of breaking news for you.
Of course, we've been following really intently the war that's going on in Israel and in Gaza, but there is a war to become the next Speaker of the House in Washington, D.C.
Now, yesterday, Steve Scalise, who had won the vote earlier in the week, there was a secret ballot process, the Republican conference came together, I believe it was 113 votes for Steve Scalise, 99 for Jim Jordan.
So it shows how divided the party was.
14 votes separating these two men.
Jim Jordan came out and said, we need to support Steve Scalise.
Let's move forward.
Let's make him the Speaker of the House.
Well, Steve Scalise was not able to put together all of the votes that he needed, 217.
You really can't lose many, because Democrats are going to come with 212 votes, all for Hakeem Jeffries.
So, Steve Scalise, after realizing he didn't have it, made this announcement, video cut 7.
I just shared with my colleagues that I'm withdrawing my name as a candidate for the Speaker-designee.
If you look at over the last few weeks, if you look at where our conference is, there's still work to be done.
Our conference still has to come together, and it is not there.
There are still some people that have their own agendas, and I was very clear.
We have to have everybody put their agendas on the side and focus on what this country needs.
This country is counting on us to come back together.
This House of Representatives needs a speaker, and we need to open up the House again.
Amen.
Yes, we do.
We need a Speaker of the House.
Republicans need to get it together.
We need to get people—and look, Jim Jordan and Steve Scalise supporting each other now, even though they were running against each other just a few days ago.
So this afternoon, Republicans got back together after Steve Scalise got out of the race.
A new candidate jumped in.
This is a Republican from Georgia, Representative Austin Scott, who threw his hat in the ring just before the closed-door meeting.
Which added another little, I guess, little pebble in the road to the speaker's gavel.
Now, he is apparently, Austin Scott, someone who is an advocate for Steve Scalise.
He is someone in Steve Scalise's camp.
So, Austin Scott got himself in the race.
But the news it's breaking right now as we are on the air is that House Judiciary Chairman Jim Jordan has just won the GOP nomination for Speaker in this internal secret vote that was held just a few moments ago this afternoon.
He's, of course, the second Republican to win that Speaker nomination in the past three days.
Republicans are on day 10 of not having a speaker.
Jim Jordan now needs to get to 217 votes in order to get the gavel.
He defeated Austin Scott, who entered the race on Friday.
So we'll see what happens here.
We now know that Jim Jordan has received the endorsement of President Trump, which is a big step.
He has received the endorsement of many of the Republicans who did not want to say Steve Scalise's name, but will he get 217 votes?
As the full conference needs to come together, the House will need to vote in its entirety to bring in a new Speaker of the House.
I gotta say, and we'll take your calls on this because this is obviously—freedom of speech reigns!
833-33-GORKA.
But it's time.
The optics on not having a speaker and Republicans being all over the place, it's just not good.
It makes it look like our party is in chaos, which it is.
Now, Matt Gaetz did a great job getting people together, getting Kevin McCarthy out.
I don't think that Kevin McCarthy was in the easiest I don't think that he was the worst thing to ever happen to Republicans, but certainly he had not delivered on his promises.
So he is out.
There was a rule in place that allowed for that to happen.
We move on.
We go into an opportunity now where two candidates, Steve Scalise or Jim Jordan, would be a total upgrade for Republicans and for conservatives in the country.
We need to get on board and get one of those gentlemen, now Jim Jordan, give him the gavel.
Enough of this.
This is going to be used against Republicans who are already going to be fighting to keep their majority in the upcoming election in 2024.
833-33-GORKA.
You can always chime in.
Let us know what you're thinking.
But for right now, Jim Jordan has the endorsement.
He is the candidate of Republicans, but It's yet to be seen whether or not he's going to get to 217 votes.
You've had Republicans coming out saying that Jesus himself would not be able to get to 217 votes in the Republican Party.
So what is going on?
And are those people simply looking to disrupt?
I mean, you have Ken Buck from Colorado who's now coming out and saying, well, I can't vote for Jim Jordan or Steve Scalise because they're election deniers.
Really, Ken Beck?
Are you trying to just advertise yourself to become a new talking head on MSNBC?
What is going on here?
What's the motivation of these Republicans who aren't coming to play?
I don't think you can do much better.
I don't think we could ask for any more than getting a House Speaker, Jim Jordan.
What do you think?
833-33 Gorka, the Speaker's race is on.
Do you think it's detrimental?
I mean, Newt Gingrich on Fox News this morning was talking about how he thinks that the House needs to just empower the Speaker pro tem, Patrick McHenry, to take over and run the House so that they can vote on bills and funding for this now war in Israel.
But that they should take their time in finding the speaker.
I love Newt Gingrich, but I don't think we should take our time.
We need to get the speaker that we want.
We don't need Patrick McHenry, who is a Kevin McCarthy wannabe, holding the gavel.
I mean, I would assume we could empower him to keep things moving, but why not just make the decision?
I mean, for crying out loud, all it takes is one person to say that they think Jim Jordan or Steve Scalise or whoever it was going to be was not doing the right job, and you pull a Matt Gaetz and you get him out of there.
You've got protections built in.
Give Jim Jordan the chance.
Give him the gavel.
What could be better for conservatives than Jim Jordan sitting in front of and leading the House of Representatives?
833-33-GORKA.
Your thoughts on that?
Plus, of course, the war in Israel.
We'll take all of that in just a few moments.
833-33-GORKA.

you I'm Sebastian Gorka on America First.
Let's get back to the show with Jennifer Horn.
Thank you, Dr. Sebastian Gorka.
I am Jennifer Horn and happy to be along with you for America First today.
It is Friday the 13th.
It is Friday.
That's your silver lining.
But it is Friday the 13th.
It is also the Global Day of Jihad.
More of that in just a few moments.
But this is the time when we have these threats to our homeland, when we have to give thanks for our Second Amendment rights.
And it is Second Amendment Friday here on America First.
The greatness of America is at its core, our freedom.
No other country is as free and we remain free due to our right to keep and bear arms.
No other company in America personifies that right more than Carr Firearms Group.
Their story is the American dream and their products are absolutely second to none.

We're going to talk with Dr. G here in a few moments, gosh, just about what we need to do to protect ourselves and our families, especially on a day like today where you have threats ringing out, worldwide threats.
And of course, a wide open border where it is possible that terror cells are lit up in our borders of our country right now.
Keep yourself safe.
This is our time to celebrate our Second Amendment rights.
So we'll talk to Dr. G here in just a few moments, but of course, always want to talk to you as well.
833-33-GORKA.
That's the number to call.
We've got a full board of phone calls right now.
So let's start with Line 5.
Five.
Vincent in Atlanta.
Hi, Vincent.
You're on America First.
Hello, Ms.
Horn.
Hello, Vincent.
How are you today?
I'm trying to make the best of it.
God bless my mom.
God bless this mess.
Listen, everyone, America was not created with cowardice, and it cannot survive with cowardice.
And at the root of all this is a lack of courage.
And these state Democrats have done a lot of damage to this country, the fraud election, open borders.
But there is fault with the Republicans as well, because the lack of courage, not standing up to this, calling it out, that comes from our media, our courts, Bill Barr, our state governors.
All of it has led to this.
I mean, this With that to root of everything and now we're seeing the chaos and the consequences.
I could not agree with you more, Vincent, and I thank you so much for the phone call.
This is not strictly a Democrat problem.
We're talking today about how leftist ideology has changed so quickly and how the Obama and the Biden administration and really leftist in this country have fingerprints all over the war that is going on in Israel, all over the empowerment of Hamas and Iran.
That is all true.
But we are suffering in the Republican Party as well from a lack of leadership.
You had President Trump who did amazing things and brought peace not just to our country but to the entire world in just four years as the left was attacking him, his family, his business continually.
We had a pandemic.
And I bet you all—love to say it, dollars to donuts—that we would all trade where we were on the world stage, on the global stage, with our own finances.
For three years ago, even during a pandemic, because President Trump was a strong leader who, as people always love to point out, he says mean things, he sends out mean tweets, but he is the leader we need because he is a leader with backbone, and Republicans need to take note of that.
The days of curdseeing, essentially, for leftists in this country, they have to be over.
833-33-GORKA.
Ed in Utah on line number one.
Hi, Ed.
You're on America First.
Yes, I am America First Mega.
I am totally Pozo.
I track with Rand Paul and Tucker Carlson.
We should not be involved, Jennifer, in this conflict.
And I stopped supporting Israel decades ago after I learned of the June 67 Israeli attack on the USS Liberty, killing 34 American soldiers and 267 wounded, including Marine Corps Sergeant Block.
I do not believe that we should be sending any troops over there or any help in building up this crisis.
Yeah, just a second.
I respect you.
I respect what Tucker Carlson says, but if you think that this is just Israel's fight and it's America just throwing money into it, I've got to tell you that you're wrong with all due respect.
And that is because this is not Israel's fight alone.
They are going after the Jews now, but Iran and Hamas hate Americans.
They hate Western culture.
Iran's parliament, they were chanting death to America just a few days ago.
If you don't listen to them, and you don't believe them, and you don't think that this is our fight, it absolutely is our fight.
This is not about nation building.
This is not about trying to start wars that are never ending.
It's not about any of that.
It's about fighting the terrorists that are existing on this planet to kill you in a blink of an eye, kill me, Kill our kids.
And we've got a wide open border because of the Biden administration letting them in.
So it is our problem.
833-33-GORKA.

the host of this program, America First, Dr. Sebastian Gorka,
on location in an undisclosed, play, let's say an undisclosed state,
or are we telling people where you are?
No, you can tell them that I'm in crazy land.
Crazy Washington State.
All right, you're on the West Coast.
So, Dr. G, Second Amendment Friday is here.
I think it is more important than ever to have this conversation with you because you had people going door- to door in Israel, ripping people from their homes.
They don't have the Second Amendment there.
They could not defend themselves like we can here.
During World War II, Japan said, we can't invade America because everybody's armed.
The left forgets that, but the right has to remember that more today than ever.
Yeah, that famous Japanese admiral said, we can't invade the United States
because behind every blade of grass, there will be a rifleman.
And that's the attitude we have to take because it's not, you know, battle carrier groups.
It's not aircraft carriers.
If you saw the events in China, you saw the events in France.
It's on the doorstep of your home.
It's, you know, on the sidewalk.
It's going to work every single day.
And I just want to say one thing here.
It's really thank you for all the work you do and for guest hosting for me.
God bless you, Jen.
You really are the hardest working person in the region.
My pleasure.
I wanted to talk about this on my show yesterday, and I did a little bit, but you know what the new cycle is like, and I ran out of time to get into a little bit of detail.
I talked about having a plan, you know, getting a gun and a permit in those areas where you can carry one, getting training, but there's one thing I forgot, and this goes for California, it even goes for Washington, D.C.
There are lots of things you can do to protect yourself, even in those states and those municipalities where, for example, they don't respect the Second Amendment.
I'm not going to say it out loud because I'm not going to take that liability on air, but you would be surprised the things you can carry legally, even in the nation's capital.
So wherever you are, even if you're in New York or in some crazy city or Chicago, make sure you are prepared.
Have any device on you that is legal to carry.
And most of all, thank you for playing that little audio from my little Instagram in the morning from the airport.
It was great.
Don't let fear.
Don't let fear take control of you.
Don't be paranoid.
Don't think they're coming to get me.
But just be tactically aware.
That's why, you know, the show's motto is, stay frosty.
It's from a movie, but it's from a former Marine who was acting in that movie.
And it's just, just be aware of your surroundings.
Always have a plan and never be, as you said, you know, on the show, don't be walking around in public, staring into your phone.
Absolutely.
And how many people do you see, probably with a mask over their face, buried in their cell phone, the headphone?
I mean, they can walk in front of a car, much less someone that wants to do harm.
You know what I do?
You know, when I see people doing this, and they're about to walk into me on the sidewalk, I just say, hey, heads up!
I just tell them to wake up!
Heads up!
But I have to give you all the props for this, because you kind of brought me in.
You were the catalyst.
You and your wife, really.
Both of you were the catalyst in my life to start paying attention to extreme Islamic terror and the motivations behind it.
They don't care who you are.
There's no shred of human grace or empathy.
They want to kill you because they think God is telling them to do that.
And so you have to stay awake.
And you make me now, when I go into a shopping mall, and this is great in Los Angeles because we have the smash and grab robberies.
This matters whether you're dealing with criminals or terrorists or both.
You keep an eye on what your escape plan is.
You stay aware.
You teach your kids to do this.
This shouldn't be scary stuff if we take away the stigma.
It's about protecting yourself and about personal responsibility, which of course links back to the Second Amendment because it is about taking personal responsibility to defend your home and your family.
And let me just be a really toxic sexist right now.
If you're a guy, it's also your duty for your family, your loved ones, your wife, your girlfriend, your children.
I'm sorry.
At the end of the day, it is your job when necessary to be that dangerous male.
It is your job.
If you're a single woman, you've got to have a plan B or C. But if you're a guy, you don't have an option.
This is your job.
Be prepared.
Always be prepared because one of the most important things you can do when you're teaching your son, for example, anybody else in your family, if you're an uncle, is when violence is appropriate.
There are times when it is appropriate and you need to be able to use it when you are protecting the defenseless and your loved ones.
Yeah, it's about protecting your family, being that strong leader.
And I don't take offense.
I don't think you're being toxic at all, because that's what we look to.
I mean, women look to men to defend us in those situations, and you have to be ready.
And if you don't feel ready, take a class.
I mean, even in California, I've gone through NRA training.
I mean, there's so many different things that you can do to make yourself more comfortable if, God forbid, there is a bad situation that you have to deal with.
And as you said to the last caller, Not just about the Jews.
It's about Jews, Christians, everyone the jihadis hate.
So, stay frosty!
Absolutely.
Dr. Sebastian Gorka, what a fun thing to have you on your own program.
So I appreciate that opportunity.
Don't forget, and hey, I can tell you all this, sebgorkastore.com, sebastiangorka.substack.com, and Seb Gorka on all the social media.
Of course, he'll be back next week on America First.
Safe travels to you, my friend.

This is America First.
♪♪♪ ♪♪♪
Bye.
I'm Sebastian Gorka on America First, let's get back to the show with Jennifer Horne!
Thanks so much.
Welcome back to America First.
Such a pleasure to be in with you for Friday.
I'm Jennifer Horne, and gosh, we're going to take some of your phone calls.
These hours are just flying by at 833-33-GORKA.
Lots on the table.
We are talking about the Second Amendment.
It's Second Amendment Friday.
We are talking about the Obama administration and the Biden administration, the left in this country, having their fingerprints on the attack.
Emboldening Hamas to go into Israel.
Now the war looming as Israel prepares its ground assault into Gaza.
You also have the breaking news.
Jim Jordan has just received the nomination from Republicans to be Speaker of the House, but can he get to 217 votes when there is a full House vote?
So lots going on.
833-33-GORKA.
Let's see.
Line number two, Jackie in Florida.
Hi, Jackie.
Hey, Jennifer, nice to talk to you.
Nice to talk to you, too.
This show so resonates with me.
Just this morning when my son left for work, I told him to keep his head on a swivel, you know, because it's a shame that I have to say that.
Yeah, I mean, it's a shame.
And up until a couple years ago, I You know, I'm a I'm divorced.
And so I would lay in bed at night and I'd wonder what would I do if somebody came in?
You know, would I just lock myself in the bathroom?
Well, you know, since then I've become a concealed carry.
So good for you.
God forbid they walk in because You know, it's going to come back on that.
But anyway, the whole reason that I'm calling... My single lady friends, you're preaching.
You've got to defend yourself.
You have to be able to.
Do not allow yourself to be a victim.
Absolutely.
But the reason I'm calling, you know, is I get annoyed because I do have Trump apparel.
Oh, by the way, I've gone to two presidential rallies in my life and I went in 1984 to Ronald Reagan.
Love it.
And then I went in 2020 to President Trump.
So I've got President Trump apparel, you know, but society wants to kind of make you feel weird
about wearing it.
And I'm tired of that.
And so I wanna encourage people to- You are so right on the money with this.
Jackie, in my heart, I live in California.
I get attacked for being a woman, particularly, who's a Trump supporter, and I have been since 2016, but I am unapologetic today.
When people ask me, I don't whisper it.
I am for Donald Trump.
He is my only choice for president.
He is the guy that we need right now, and I'm glad you're reminding people not to shy away from that.
100%.
And so I do wear it.
I'm proud of it.
And I will tell you this as well, you know, even on Facebook, I don't try to get political
on Facebook, but I've lost friends when I did in 2020 put the Trump-Pence frame on my picture.
Jackie, we're up against a break, but I want you to keep doing what you're doing.
Do not be afraid.
You be fearless, and you speak out, and you tell people why you believe in President Trump and America First policies, and articulate them.
They can't argue with facts.
833-33-GORKA.
Jennifer Horne in for Dr. G, this is America First.
This is America First.
you you
you this is America first with Sebastian Gorka
and I'm very proud to introduce our guest host for today Jennifer Horne
The Horn.
I feel like I'm in a spy movie with this music.
I like it.
Welcome back to America First.
I am Jennifer Horne.
Happy to be filling in for my friend, Dr. Sebastian Gorka.
You can follow me at Jennifer Horne Radio on Instagram and Facebook, at Jennifer Horne on Truth and Twitter.
I host some Morning Answer alongside Grant Stinchfield in Los Angeles on AM 870, the answer, and AM 590, the answer.
And a friend of the, well, a friend of mine too.
You know what?
We've got friends everywhere.
But this is one that is a friend from my morning show.
He is on this program all the time, and that is because he is an expert in many things, including our southern border.
The former Commissioner of U.S.
Customs and Border Protection, former member of the FBI, Mark Morgan, is here.
Mark, thanks for being with us.
Welcome to America First.
Jennifer, thanks for having me, as always.
Well, it is an important day to have you with us because a lot of us are rattled after the last week watching what happened in Israel, watching the brutal attacks, I mean, people being gutted by Hamas.
And we have a border that's wide open and we're hearing reports today people from Lebanon getting picked up.
I mean, this administration has no idea who is in this country.
Is that what you're seeing from your perspective?
Absolutely.
What the war should be telling us right now, once again, the Middle East is at war, two very important things, Jennifer.
One is, it should remind all of us that global terrorism is alive and well.
That ideology has not been defeated.
The second thing that's very important is, is this was a colossal intelligence failure.
And I don't mean that for attribution, but they either didn't have the intelligence or they failed to connect the dots.
And that's from the Israel government that has some of the best intelligence in the world.
And so what that should tell us, those same terrorists that attacked Israel, their commitment is unwavering to do harm to the United States.
When they say death to Israel, the next phrase that they say in conjunction with that is
death to America.
And if Israel, if their intelligence could have failed, so could ours.
The United States intelligence apparatus is not infallible.
And it should tell everybody and wake us all up to what we've been saying.
You and I have discussed for the past three years that border security is synonymous with
national security.
The last thing I'll say real quick is, yep, so now all of a sudden we're paying attention
that yesterday two Lebanese, you know, military adult males were apprehended.
The past three days, I think 14 Syrian individuals were apprehended RGV.
Jennifer, that's been happening for the past 33 months.
164 Lebanese have been encountered by border till the last 32 or 33 months.
We never talk about it.
Tens of thousands of special interest aliens on top of those on the terrorist watch list have been apprehended the past 33 months, and we're just now paying attention to it.
You know, it is despicable because you have people now suddenly going, well, wait a second, our front door is open.
Well, it has been for the last three years of the Biden administration.
And, you know, you bring up a great point.
So a Thursday, you've got two people from Lebanon, 14 people from Syria coming here.
That's just yesterday.
What about the last three years with the border wide open?
And what about the people that haven't even been checked in by the Biden administration?
They're talking about, well, at least we know about the people we're reporting on, but what about all the gotaways?
Because the Border Patrol can't keep up.
Jennifer, that's it!
That's why I love talking to you.
I mean, I'm just sitting here, just smiling, saying, yep, you don't need me.
I mean, you're spot on.
Think about this.
The last 33 months, because this is where we keep saying, this is why illegal, it is so important we emphasize illegal immigration.
We're for legal immigration.
We're against illegal immigration, because there's a cause and effect.
Here's what happens.
Last 33 months, we've had 7.4 million total encounters in 33 months.
That pulls resources off the front line, away from the national security mission, relegated to administrative duties to process and release 7.5 million encounters.
That literally hands Operation Control to cartels.
That has directly resulted to the 1.6 million known gotaways.
We have literally added the equivalent of a 51st state of gotaways.
And if you think for a moment that there are not special interest aliens or those on the terrorist watch list among the 1.6 million known gotaways, you're living in a fantasy land.
My fear is not that the threat will come from our open borders, but Jennifer, my fear is the terrorist threat is already in the country and they have been for the past three years.
Yeah, this is why it's perfect to talk to you today because not only do you have the experience with the Border Patrol, former Commissioner of U.S.
Customs and Border Protection, but you were a member of the FBI.
And so today, don't know how everybody's celebrating out there, but it's the Global Day of Jihad.
A day of rage.
We've already seen someone from an Israeli embassy worker stabbed in Beijing.
We've seen a teacher who was murdered by someone who, oh this is great, was on the list for deportation out of France, but migrant groups that were trying to come out and get this guy to stay kept him in the country.
Now he hit someone's carotid artery and a woman's dead in France.
These same stories can happen here.
It only takes one.
The FBI says, well, there's no credible threat.
They may not have one credible threat, but how can they say that with certainty?
Because it takes one person with a knife.
You can't track that.
Jennifer, I'm so glad you mentioned that.
No specific credible threat.
Let me put this in perspective.
If you would have asked Israel that same question two weeks ago, what do you think they would have said?
They would have said, no, we don't have any known credible threat this time.
To go out there, like, confidently and say we have no credible threat, as if to signify that there is no threat, that's a fallacy.
I've lived it.
I'm telling you, no credible threat, that means they don't know.
That's what that means.
And to suggest otherwise, look, what we have, one of the greatest threats that we have right now is homegrown violent extremists.
That means they take somebody that has an ideology, that has a base, and through propaganda they radicalize them, and then they inspire them to move from ideology to radicalization to then action.
Think about this.
What have we seen in the past 96 hours?
We've seen individuals in the United States Not support the Palestinian people through peaceful and diplomatic resolution of a perceived issue.
No.
They're supporting Hamas, a terrorist organization.
They're actually supporting the intentional attack of babies, of women, of non-combatants.
We actually have that in the United States.
Here's what I'll tell you.
There is no way that every one of those that are participating in these events right now, pro-Hamas, are U.S.-born citizens.
We have absolutely imported and allowed individuals with an ideology into this country.
And now they have a significant event that the propaganda they're going to be able to exploit to move them from ideology to radicalization to action.
Jennifer, it's going to happen.
I don't know when, I don't know how big, but I'm telling you it's happening right now.
That movement through that continuum that's happening right now in this country and is being fueled by our open borders.
You know, Mark Morgan, it's always great to talk to you about these issues.
Former Commissioner of the U.S.
Customs and Border Protection.
The theme of today's program has really been about the fingerprints of the Biden administration on this attack by Hamas, but they also have their fingerprints on enabling terrorism.
They have been tripping over themselves to help give money back to Iran.
Maybe now they're worried about $6 billion, but it could be something more like $50 billion with their energy policies.
And of course, the soft foreign relations and foreign policy standpoint, our botched withdrawal from Afghanistan, the fact that Russia and China and Iran are so much better today than they were under President Trump.
They are stronger today.
The fingerprints and the ones that will touch us first are because of the Biden open border that they don't want to address.
They keep making excuses for the border.
They say it's closed.
But if you want to look at the danger to us in our homeland, it all starts right there.
And Mayorkas has to pay for this.
Joe Biden has to pay for it.
And everyone else who has enabled this to be American policy, their first job is to keep us safe.
That is not being done.
That's absolutely right.
In fact, you know, Article 4, Section 4 of the United States Constitution says that it is the federal government's responsibility to protect every state from threats outside its borders.
Clearly, this government has abdicated that responsibility.
Again, there's so many statistics that we could rattle off, right?
So we could go that they just released the last 12 months of the drug statistics.
So 112,000 died from drugs or poison in a 12-month period, right?
I mean, a 12-month.
That's more Americans died from All the terrorist attacks, Iraq, Afghanistan, Vietnam wars combined, a couple of those were two-decade-long wars.
We know, we know the stats.
1.6 million known God of the Ways that we just talked about.
How many murders, rapists, pedophiles, aggravated felons, and known national security threats are among the 1.6 million?
I'll go a step further, Jennifer.
We've talked about those that they've apprehended.
So we know, in 33 months, they've apprehended over 260 illegal aliens, that we are on the terror watch list, plus tens of thousands of special interest aliens.
And guess what?
They, even though we've apprehended them, we've still released many of those into our country, not having any idea... And gotten them a hotel room, most likely.
Yeah, exactly.
That's right.
It is unbelievable what we're seeing, and this is the security risk to us today.
And that's why voices like yours, Mark Morgan, are so important, and voices like all of yours.
You need to press your congressional representatives, your senators, to do something about Alejandro Mayorkas and Joe Biden's border policies.
It is absolutely on us now to fight back.
Mark Morgan, thank you so much.
Former Commissioner of the U.S.
Customs and Border Protection Former member of the FBI, constantly serving our country.
We thank you so much for being with us, Mark.
Thanks so much.
You bet.
Alright, as we continue, thank you, we will delve into the relationships between Black Lives Matter and Hamas.
Extreme Islamic terror being backed by Black Lives Matter in the country.
Our friend Larry Elder will be with us.
With all of that, Jennifer Horne, in for Dr. Sebastian Gorka, this is America First.
And I'm Dr. Sebastian Gorka.
Let's get back to the show with Jennifer Horne.
Thank you, Dr. G. I am Jennifer Horne.
I host The Morning Answer in Los Angeles on AM 870 and AM 590, The Answer.
And I'm here with you Wednesdays for our Crazy California Report that happens on America First Wednesdays around 1 o'clock Pacific Time for those of you getting the show in the second hour of America First.
And joining us right now, a guy really who needs no introduction.
He is my buddy.
He is running for president.
He is one of our former colleagues here at Salem Radio.
Larry Elder is here.
He has a brand new book out.
It's called As Goes California.
You can find him on social media at Larry Elder.
And guys, he has a real story to tell.
Get involved with this campaign.
Elderforpresident.com.
Larry, I always love seeing your smiling face.
Hi, thanks for being with us.
Jennifer, it's always nice to be on the show with Dr. Gorka!
Thank you so much for having me.
I don't have an accent.
Maybe just a little valley girl every once in a while.
You know I was born in the San Fernando Valley.
Born and raised.
Alright, so Larry, let's jump into it.
Whenever Dr. Gorka says buy something, I buy it.
Of course!
That voice, you can't say no!
So let's jump into it because we've been talking during the program about the Biden administration's fingerprints all over this attack, Hamas into Israel.
And it's not just the Biden administration, it was Obama before him and really the left as a movement.
And I don't think there's any greater, well, piece to the argument than what we saw from Black Lives
Matter this week. Black Lives Matter Chicago coming out and supporting the terrorists,
supporting Hamas against Israel. This is a position of many leftist organizations in our country,
including Black Lives Matter.
Why the connection here? The left's inability to distinguish the firefighter from the arsonist
has been a problem for a very long time, Jennifer. Let's go back to the 70s, when Jimmy Carter kicked
the legs out from under the shawl of Iran.
Who was our ally in Iran, and Jimmy Carter pressured him to release what we call political prisoners, i.e.
terrorists, and of course it toppled the regime and paved the way for the so-called Islamic Republic of Iran.
And then they promptly took 50 American hostages, kept them for 444 days.
These are the people we are dealing with, and for reasons that confound me, the left doesn't seem to appreciate that.
You and I were talking this morning, Jennifer, about what happened in 1986, when a Jordanian
terrorist who had been trained in Syria had an Irish fiancé who was six months pregnant,
and they were en route to their marriage in Tel Aviv.
They do a stopover in London at Heathrow Airport.
He gets off, gave her some sort of excuse that it's going to be difficult for him to
get through customs because he's an Arab.
I'll meet you.
I'll take another route.
I'll meet you in Tel Aviv a few hours later.
Gives her a piece of luggage and says, take this on the plane with you, and he leaves.
Well, the Israelis have security outposts in every major airport around the world, and
So they go up to her, and they started asking her questions.
Where are you going?
Who are you with?
And by the way, he told her to deny that she was with him and that they were going to be married.
She didn't know why to deny it, but she did.
And they asked her where she was staying, and she said, I'm staying at the Hilton in Tel Aviv.
Well, there's no Hilton in Tel Aviv.
He lied to her and told her that's where they would be staying.
And so the Israeli security people saw that.
and said, let me see what's in your suitcase.
She hands him the suitcase and there's a bomb in there.
And it was time to go off while the plane was in the air.
So this guy was gonna blow up his fiance, blow up his unborn child,
and of course everybody on that plane.
That was 1986.
If that doesn't give you an idea of who we're dealing with,
I don't know what does.
And then the first bombing of the World Trade Center, Jennifer, was 1993.
And the leader was a guy named Ramzi Youssef.
And the federal judge, when he was giving them the sentence,
said, I've never seen such raw red hatred.
And we talked about a general patent, and he said, the idea of war is not to die for your country, it's to get the other poor SOB to die for his country.
Well, Jennifer, when the other poor SOB wants to die for his country, all bets are off, and that's what we're dealing with.
And the left, if there's any silver lining at all, some of them have a greater appreciation for that today than they did just a few days ago.
Yeah, I think that's right.
Maybe it's kind of gotten a few people, some of those folks that we might consider to be influencers on social media, but there is still this overwhelming response from the left that is overlooking the fact that these people who, as you mentioned, want to die for their cause because they think that God is telling them to kill Jews and kill Americans and kill Western civilians and to kill Christians.
This is all of our fight.
So is the left, are these leftist groups just Or are they intentionally overlooking this?
Is it a lack of understanding that this is the hatred that these people have?
It gets back to something real fundamental in recognition of the problems, the issues within the religion of Islam.
The Quran gives you three options if you're a non-Muslim.
You can convert.
You can pay a tax.
Or you can be killed.
Those are your options.
Now, that's in the Qur'an.
I don't know how you explain it away because the Qur'an was, quote, dictated by the messenger, close quote, so it can't be reinterpreted, you know, reanalyzed.
You can't give a new narrative because supposedly Muhammad was illiterate and magically somehow he wrote out the Qur'an because God dictated it to this guy who otherwise could not read or write, supposedly.
So this is a fundamental problem with the religion of Islam.
Years ago, I interviewed a professor of Islam.
He happened to be a Christian, but he taught Islam at a university.
And I asked him whether, if you are a true proponent of Islam,
are you compatible with a democracy or a republic?
And he said, I don't know.
I said, you've been studying this for decades and you don't know?
He said, I gotta tell you, I don't know whether somebody who truly believes in the tenets of Islam can be a member of a society that is truly a liberal republic or a liberal democracy.
I don't know.
Wow.
You have been really clear, Larry Elder is with us, Elder4President.com, that you are not necessarily running a race against Donald Trump or your Republican opponents in this race.
You are running the race against Joe Biden, who has done really bad things in this country.
And Larry, In our last couple of moments here with you, he has said some of the right things in talking about standing with Israel, but he has not addressed Iran.
He has not been tough on Iran at all in the past week.
I mean, it hasn't even come out of his mouth.
What do you make in watching him of the Biden administration's response to this war?
Jennifer, you and I wouldn't be having this conversation.
If Donald Trump was still in the Oval Office, we wouldn't have the conversation about Ukraine because Putin wouldn't have done what he's done.
Donald Trump comes in and he moves the embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem.
Obama said he was going to do that, didn't do it.
George W. Bush said he was going to do it, didn't do it, because they were both warned, if you do this, it's going to be a conflagration in the Middle East.
And Donald Trump said, I'm going to do it, and if there is, we're going to address that.
He moved and nothing happened.
They realize this is a force to be reckoned with, and they don't want to mess with him.
Real quickly, during the 2020 campaign, I'm in the airport, and I meet this chaplain in the military.
His son is in special ops.
He said, Larry, I did not vote for Donald Trump in 2016 because I thought he was insane.
I thought he was crazy.
I'm now going to vote for him.
I said, why?
He said, my son is in special ops.
And all the special ops say that our enemies are scared blankless, and he didn't say blank, blankless of Donald Trump because they don't know what he's going to do.
So, the Arab world was on notice.
There was a new sheriff in town when Donald Trump was there, and you wouldn't have had this conversation.
Obviously, the money that Joe Biden has given the Iranian, not just the $6 billion, but the relaxing of sanctions, has put around $60 billion into the coffers of Iran, trying to get us back into that ridiculous Iran deal that Iran was violating.
It's appeasement.
And their whole mantra is strength through peace, as opposed to peace through strength.
And why it is that we have diverged like this is beyond me.
But that's where we are right now in America.
Larry, we always appreciate your perspective on this.
You are right on the money.
Get involved with his campaign right now, elderforamerica.com.
I want you to follow him on social media as well, at Larry Elder on all the platforms.
And get that book right now, As Goes California.
You can find out how crazy our state is and why you need to take the lessons from it before it happens to the rest of the country.
Larry Elder, thank you so much.
Jennifer Horn in for Sebastian Gorka.
This is America First!
you you
I'm Sebastian Gorka on America First Let's get back to the show with Jennifer Horn.
Thank you so much.
Really nice to be with all of you today.
Thanks for welcoming me in.
I'm Jennifer Horn, in for Dr. Sebastian Gorka on America First, and it is Friday.
As we head into the weekend, however, just imagine, it was only last Saturday when the peace of Israel was shattered by horrifying attacks from brutal Hamas terrorists targeting innocent civilians, including women and children.
So this week, Dr. G announced his partnership with the International Fellowship of Christian and Jews, and he invited all of you to donate whatever you felt that you could give.
Now, so far, America First listeners have just been blowing us away.
Your generosity is incredible.
You've really stepped up to help children and families hit by the war in Israel.
And your generosity prompted Yael Eckstein, the President and CEO of the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews, to send this message to you directly from Jerusalem.
This is an unprecedented situation, and we cannot do it.
We can't respond.
We can't hear the cries for food and water if we don't have your support.
So I would say to all of the listeners, I know the Salem listeners love God, that they love the Bible, and believe Nachamu Nachamu Ami, now is the time to comfort, comfort my people.
And so I am asking the listeners who Pray for Israel, who love Israel, who stand with Israel, to fill that biblical mandate to feed the hungry, to clothe the naked, because never in Israel's history have we needed that support more than now.
If you want to help Israel, and we hope that you do, in its darkest hour, just go to SebGorka.com and click on the Israel at War banner.
It's right at the top of the homepage.
Make an emergency donation.
SebGorka.com or you can phone your donation to 800-241-7771.
That's 800-241-7771 and always at sebgorka.com right at the top.
Just look for the Israel at War banner and we thank you so much for all of your generosity.
It really is needed and necessary at this moment.
All right, well, let's jump into a little presidential politics, shall we?
Not just Ron DeSantis, but now Chris Christie, who is in the presidential race.
Well, they love to throw shade at Donald Trump saying that he is anti-Israel.
Take a listen.
Chris Christie, cut six.
Wolf, let's make it clear.
He's a fool.
He's a fool.
Only a fool would make those kind of comments.
Only a fool would give comments that could give aid and comfort to Israel's adversary.
Now, what I love here is these opportunists who look for anything to take apart Donald Trump and actually side with leftists and the fake news media to do it.
What Chris Christie is referencing, what Ron DeSantis has been referencing on their social media platforms, is President Trump, who did two things this week.
He did an interview with Brian Kilmeade on his radio show.
He also spoke and gave a speech at Club 47, and that speech was recorded.
And in it, President Trump said two things that took, I guess, his enemies just to the
moon with excitement.
The first thing he said is that Hezbollah is smart.
Now Hezbollah, Hamas, these are terror groups.
They are filled with people who are not good people.
They are hateful.
They got children.
They would rather kill you than shake your hands.
But they are smart, and they can figure out how to launch attacks.
And all you have to do is just look at the attack that is underway that happened against Israel.
It is not untrue to say that Hezbollah is smart.
It is not untrue.
And by the way, we should never think that our enemies are dumb.
Of course they are smart.
Of course there is planning behind them.
833-33-GORKA.
That doesn't necessarily mean he is saying, I want to be a member of Hezbollah.
I think what they're doing is great.
He's saying we shouldn't underestimate the enemy.
833-33-GORKA.
Now he also made some comments about Benjamin Netanyahu.
We know that Benjamin Netanyahu and Donald Trump have a lot in common.
They also had a pretty good friendship.
But We learned, and Trump tells us this, you don't hear this kind of talk, this kind of open dialogue about situations involving war like you do with Donald Trump.
And he comes out and he says that they had the opportunity to kill Soleimani.
Donald Trump was working on this operation with Israel, and at the last moment, Benjamin Netanyahu pulled back.
And so the United States was given the choice whether or not to go it alone and kill Soleimani, and President Trump took that.
And by the way, the world was a safer place because of it.
Now, the critics in the Republican primary, including Chris Christie and Ron DeSantis and other people in the left and the fake news media, want to come out and say that that was Donald Trump disparaging Benjamin Netanyahu.
I don't believe that it was.
A33, 33 Gorka, I think that was him telling a true story that Benjamin Netanyahu pulled back from taking out Soleimani.
Why did he do it?
Tremendous political pressure going on in Israel.
It has not been easy for Netanyahu.
Obviously, he made that decision for some reason.
Why?
But it is not disparaging if it's true.
These people are looking for anything they can because they are scared of President Donald Trump.

Gorka on America first Let's get back to the show with Jennifer Horne.
Yes, let's!
Let's do it!
Jennifer Horne in for Dr. Sebastian Gorka.
This is America First.
Thank you for joining us.
You've heard the outrageous stories about men dominating the top spots in women's sports at colleges and high schools across the country.
Of course, the stories of women bullied and threatened to stay silent by administrators, the woke mob, and of course the media.
But no woman has more courageously stood against radical transgender ideologues and for female athletes more than Riley Gaines, the champion All-American swimmer.
That's why we are so proud to tell you about the new Riley Gaines Center at the Leadership Institute.
Her mission is bold.
Identify and recruit young men and women across the country and train them to fight to protect women, defend truth, and champion the principles that fuel freedom.
Riley has given her all to save women's sports.
Now, it's your turn to join forces with her to learn how you can help young conservatives across this country stand up against transgender ideologues, go to teamriley.org.
I support this great cause, Dr. Gorka supports this cause, and now you can too.
Help Riley and her team at the Leadership Institute shape our culture for decades to come.
Go to teamriley.org right now.
That's teamriley.org, teamriley.org, and Portions of America First today are brought to you
in part by the Leadership Institute.
Riley Gaines doing a great job.
All right.
Before the break, we heard from Chris Christie who says, Oh, Donald Trump is talking about how great Hezbollah is and he doesn't like the Jews and he disparages Israel.
All you have to do is look at Donald Trump's record with Israel and you will see that that is absolutely false.
But don't take my word for it.
Let's listen to Donald Trump himself.
These are his comments that he made about Hezbollah.
Cut 13.
Two nights ago, I read all of Biden's security people.
Can you imagine?
National defense people.
And they said, gee, I hope Hezbollah doesn't attack from the north because that's the most vulnerable spot.
I said, wait a minute.
You know, Hezbollah is very smart.
They're all very smart.
The press doesn't like when they say it.
You know, I said that President Xi of China, 1.4 billion people, he controls it with an iron fist.
I said, he's a very smart man.
They killed me the next day.
I said he was smart.
What am I going to say?
But Hezbollah, they're very smart.
And they have a national defense minister or somebody saying, I hope Hezbollah doesn't attack us from the north.
So the following morning they attacked.
They might not have been doing it, but if you listen to this jerk, you would attack from the north.
Because, he said, that's our weak spot.
Whoever heard of officials saying on television that they hope the enemy doesn't attack in a certain area?
Now, unless it's a con job.
But you know what a con job is?
You're waiting there ready.
You want them, if you want them.
But they weren't ready.
They weren't ready.
You know, say what you want.
Israel was not ready.
This was a big surprise.
This was a terrible thing that happened.
They weren't ready.
But if you wanted them to attack because you've got a million people there with guns and you're going to blast to hell, then you do exactly.
But they didn't have that.
All right, so guys, does that sound like it's anti-Semitic?
Does that sound like it's anti-Israel?
Does that sound like Donald Trump wants to become a supporter or the lead, I don't know, the lead of Hezbollah?
No.
It says that they are smart, and they listen to us when we are stupid, and they wait for us to show weakness.
And that's what Joe Biden has done for the last three years.
833-33-GORKA.
What these people are talking about when they try to say that that is somehow bad on President Trump's fault.
He is speaking the truth.
833-33-GORKA.
Full board of phone calls.
Let's start with, let's see, Line 5.
Sally in Cleveland.
Hi, Sally.
Hi, Jennifer.
Hezbollah and Hamas are smart, and they have operations here in the U.S., and that's why we need to be vigilant also.
I'm a retired social worker, and I used to go in high-crime areas to do assessments, and I was always vigilant of my surroundings.
And I encourage all Americans to be very observant and careful, but not to live in fear, because that's what the terrorists want.
Instead, we need to support Israel, and we made some donations to the fellowship, and we thank you for supporting them.
Thank you.
Absolutely.
And thank you so much for your phone call.
A great reminder.
Thanks so much, Sally.
833-33-GORCO.
We'll get in as many of your calls as we can.
Line 3 is Richard in Atlanta.
Hi, Richard.
Yeah.
Hi.
Thanks for taking my call.
Of course.
I want to get your opinion on this.
I kind of have my own, but I want to hear yours.
Early on after the Hamas attack last Saturday, Our White House and State Department, I think military, they use the word don't as a warning to countries wanting to get involved in this.
And what I've seen or heard on the news is that Lebanon is involved with Hezbollah, so that's another country.
Hezbollah, yeah.
And Hezbollah has come forward today, that was one of the breaking news stories, to say that they are going to stand with Hamas and attack Israel from the north, making this now a war with two fronts.
Yeah, so what's all this tough talk that we heard, and people were praising the administration for the tough talk, but I don't Yeah, especially when you have an administration that has really never said tough things.
This is about the toughest.
And so I'm going to give a half a point here because Biden has said some things that are right.
He's standing with Israel.
People are awake to the fact that he doesn't back any of that up with strength.
They know he's incredibly weak.
They know that leftists really don't have the appetite to push hard on an issue like this.
So they know that they're in the driver's seat and that the United States may say some tough talk and they may send Antony Blinken and Lloyd Austin over to Israel.
But is that going to result in anything real that's going to scare people from launching further attacks?
And I think that it won't.
And Richard, thanks so much for your phone call.
833-33-GORKA.
Let's slide in one more.
Let's talk to Bill in Georgia.
Hi, Bill, Line 2.
Hi, Jennifer.
Nice to talk to you.
You, too.
We've got just about a minute, Bill, so go ahead.
Okay.
Well, with all the information I'm absorbing about the awful events last weekend, I tried to consolidate what I thought about it, and I came up with two sentences that pretty much expressed it for me, and I was wondering what you thought.
Putting all the historical and political arguments aside, I think no city, state, or nation that is led by a barbaric terrorist faction like Hamas should ever be allowed to be added to this world, period.
If the Palestinian people want their own self-governments, They need to find leadership that can be accepted in a civilized world.
That's right.
And stop voting for Hamas, because that's what's happening over there.
Whether by force or not, they are still voting to keep Hamas in power.
Thanks so much for that phone call.
833-33 GORGA.
Jennifer Horne in for Dr. G on America First.

Yeah, good afternoon.
of the Substack as well, sebastiangorka.substack.com. All right, let's squeeze in as many of you.
You've been so nice to hold as we possibly can. 833-33-GORKA.
Let's start with line three, Joe in Los Angeles, my hometown. Hey, Joe.
Yeah, good afternoon. My question is, what do you think Donald Trump would have to do
for the cult-like behavior of his supporters to finally dissipate? I mean, what would he
Because he said he could shoot somebody on Fifth Avenue.
First of all, that's the problem.
turn it around and ask you because obviously it doesn't sound like you're a fan of President
Trump but that's okay. So what do you think would lose support for Donald Trump?
First of all that's the problem. Politicians shouldn't have fans. Politicians shouldn't have fans.
That's the cult-like behavior I'm talking about.
I actually disagree.
You have to have voters, right?
I mean, you have to have people who are going to vote for you.
They have to, like, you know what, Joe?
If we had more time, I could argue with you, because it would be fun.
But I thank you for the phone call.
There are a lot of people that want to jump in on the topic, so maybe next time.
But line one, Angela in California.
Angela, you're on America First.
Hi.
Hi, Jen.
I wanted to say I appreciate what Donald Trump said, and I appreciate leaders.
Because he knows a lot more than I do.
And he knows why he said exactly what he said.
And I think I know why he said what he said, too.
You gotta respect your enemy.
Well, and don't you think if you listen to the video, it's not about him complimenting Hezbollah.
He's recognizing that the enemy is smart, and they're always watching our country.
And that's just the bottom line.
That's true with any adversary that we have on the planet.
Angela, thanks so much for the phone call.
833-33-GORKA.
Jane in Dallas on line number two.
Hi, Jane!
Hi, how are you?
Good, thank you.
Okay, so I just one thought, you know, earlier, a little while ago, you said, you know, what Biden said, and all that, he said all the right things.
But you know, to be quite honest, I don't believe a one thing he says, because he's a very lazy president.
And he knows exactly what he's doing.
It's not that senile.
You know, it didn't take a brain scientist to close the border at the same time.
He's just apathetic.
So many people that get up and say all this stuff like they're supposed to say, there's a lot of heat on them.
I don't believe it at all.
What's going on is just... You know, Jane, I think there's something to that, because it's not just the words, it is the actions of the president.
You can say a lot of things, but if you are still making rich the enemy of Israel, the American enemy in Iran, you don't really get to be afforded the luxury of standing tall with an ally when you've Kind of put your fingerprints on what's happened.
And that was the whole point of today's show.
And we thank you for that phone call.
Thank you all for joining us.
Make it a great Friday.
