Yes, it is.
It is America First.
And I am Sebastian Gorka, your host for the next three hours.
What fun we are going to have.
It's Friday.
Let's unlock and open the lines.
The number here is 833-33 Gorka.
That's 833-334-6752.
It's ask Dr. G any... Oh my gosh, somebody's already calling in.
That's shocking.
It's ask Dr. G anything Friday, but keep it clean.
It's also Second Amendment Friday, and of course, in the third hour, what do we do on Fridays?
Because, you know, Fridays are meant to be fun.
We have Making Movies Great Again, with a Christmas movie, one of the greatest movies ever made.
You don't want to miss it.
But if you have to go somewhere else, if you live in a market, they call them markets, it's so weird, it's radio lingo.
If you live in a market that doesn't broadcast the third hour of the show, move!
And until then, make sure you are subscribed to the podcast.
It's super easy.
Go to whichever podcast platform you prefer.
Plug in my name, Sebastian Gorka.
Leave us a five-star review and share the links with your friends.
But first, let me take you back in time.
Can you go back such a long, long time?
Can you go back, say, three years, four years?
How about, let's go back six years ago.
How was your life six years ago?
What was the price of, oh I don't know, a gallon of gas like?
Or a carton of eggs?
Or a pound of bacon?
Or how much was the interest on your mortgage?
Did you know that it was all propaganda?
The low prices.
The prosperity, the lack of wars, the secure border.
It was all an illusion.
Well, if you're a lunatic, call Chris Hayes at MSNBC.
Cut 10!
But just take a second right now, okay?
To consider what the alternate reality would be like in this moment, after this turbulence under a Donald Trump presidency.
My strong belief is that part of the reason that people's perception the economy was good in the Trump era, that Trump would be good at managing the economy, is that he constantly, unceasingly, sledgehammered us over the head with propaganda about it day after day after day.
So, um, Jeff, when you bought gas and it was $1.89 per gallon, that was an illusion.
Did you know that?
Oh, I kept hearing Trump talking about how gas prices are down, so that's why it felt better.
Because he just kept hammering it over and over again.
But when you got it, and it was like, you know, $30 and not $60, that was actually some kind of magic.
Did you know that?
I didn't know that, because it costs me more now, though.
They still take more money on my account, though, every time I swipe it.
What about your mortgage?
Did you know that your mortgage was more expensive back then than it is now?
Because, you know, having a 3% mortgage is more expensive than an 8% mortgage.
I know I'm very happy that I re-fied under Trump, I can tell you that.
No, no, you think you're happy.
No, no.
Jeff, you think you're happy because it was more expensive.
It's the propaganda that they kept hitting me with over and over again.
But seriously, Jeff.
The fact that, and this guy's always been a little, you know, low-T sad boy, but doesn't this, isn't this a sign of like utter desperation that they think they can convince you that the cheap economy, it was all propaganda?
Aren't they just desperate?
And one quick example of that, because I was going through my email the other day.
Remember I told you it's about Chipotle?
Yes!
The burritos.
Oh yeah!
You've got to tell this story.
What do you have?
Is it a credit card record or what?
No, because I do it online, so you get an email.
And I don't ever delete emails.
So I went through in 2019.
I get the same thing every time.
A chicken burrito.
$6.75, 2019.
It's going up.
Hang on, I want to write these down.
70, what was it?
675?
Yep.
Yep.
When, what year was that?
2019.
2019.
Okay, and now?
1025.
10... So, don't you realize that that's cheaper?
10 is cheaper than 6?
I did, until now.
Chris brings up a good point.
It might have been the propaganda.
Oh my gosh.
But it's not just about chicken burritos.
It's also about corruption in the highest levels of the land because this isn't the way Goebbels did propaganda.
Not at all.
Remember?
Repeat a lie a thousand times and it becomes the truth.
Well, if you say no evidence, very quickly, 20 times, I guess it means no evidence.
Here's Karine Jean-Pierre on the lack of evidence about corruption with her boss.
And so, look, you know, there's been zero evidence.
Zero evidence.
You can ask me about engagement and what the president has done with his family in conversation, but there's no evidence.
Wait, wait, but there's no evidence.
There is no evidence that the president has done wrongdoing.
There's none.
Absolutely none.
None.
And that is just a fact.
You've heard it from Republicans themselves.
No, no evidence.
None, none at all.
Especially the video of him saying in front of others that the Ukrainian prosecutor investigating his son's company Burisma better be fired or they don't get a billion dollars.
No, that video is also a Trump magic trick.
It didn't happen.
It's all sleight of hand.
All right, we've got lots of guests.
Amazing guests.
We're going to analyze the big news of the week.
We're going to talk Second Amendment.
We're going to take your questions.
We're going to talk to the President's Attorney and Senior Advisor, but maybe we should take some... Do we have time for some calls?
Oh, who dropped off?
Who's... Jeff, what was that complaint about the show open?
Is somebody again complaining about George W. Bush?
Yes, in the intro, because...
Um, Alex Jones proved this week that he was behind 9-11.
That's why he wants it out.
And the guy dropped off!
Did we have a QAnon guy who dropped off?
I know, they're like the DeSantis people.
They call and they hold for 30 seconds and that's it.
This low T thing, it's a real problem.
Guys, I love to skewer you live on air.
Don't be so low T, okay?
Take a little testosterone injection before you call in.
Especially all the guys, the pranksters who think they're gonna get on air and who we decimate in the rumble breaks.
Try again!
It's so sad.
And then give your mother her phone back.
Let's go to John in San Diego.
Let's squeeze in a call in the A Block.
Sebastian, talk about propaganda.
Here's what we actually have.
When Trump left office, he had a 29,800 Dow.
Now it's $37,000 and they can't shut up about it.
That's after 20% accumulated inflation since Biden.
So he's really got a $30,000 Dow almost four years after he took office.
It's 200 points higher than Trump had.
Are you an economist?
Do you work the markets, John?
I'm an economist.
I don't work the markets.
You do what?
I'm an economist.
I do not work the markets.
All right, so when you hear things like, oh, we've created more jobs than anyone else, and when they say to us that, oh, no, no, no, prices are absolutely fine, what's your reaction, John?
Well, they ignore shrinkflation and they manipulate it.
Oh, explain that.
I saw a fascinating film about shrinkflation.
We've got a minute.
Will you tell all of our millions of listeners what shrinkflation is?
Okay, it's when you, it's when, Housewives will know this immediately, when you suddenly, your large Skippy peanut butter is no longer 48 ounces, it's 38 ounces.
Or the box of cereal shrinks, right?
Every six months, but it's the same price.
Right.
So it doesn't get calculated as inflation by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, but then when it goes the opposite way, and we have a good economy under a Republican, then they run the size back up and raise the price equivalently for the price raise.
So it's the same amount per ounce, but it's more expensive And then they tagged the Republican with the inflation that he didn't get.
That's the real propaganda.
You nailed it, John.
Stay on the line.
Let's give John a choice of whichever book he wants.
Defeating Jihad, Why We Fight, or The War for America's Soul.
He gets to choose.
So many Christmas ideas on the website.
We've got a special bundle.
If you want President Trump back, God willing, it's up to us.
We've got the Trump Yard sign with the booking photo from Atlanta, and the mug which says Trump 2024, plus the beautiful, gorgeous I stand with 45 Trump 2024 flag.
Special bundle price, so much more.
Including my books at sebgorkastore.com.
That's S-E-B-G-O-R-K-A, sebgorkastore.com.
But more important than any of that, will you please support him directly at donaldjtrump.com?
That's DonaldJTrump.com No.
No.
No.
He calls him Rachel Meadow with a smaller penis.
That's good.
Oh, that's sad.
They look alike, which is crazy.
They do, yeah, like gender swapped.
Um, for Newsmax, the news from the left, did you want two Scarborough cuts or one?
I couldn't hear you there.
Oh, just one.
Yeah, yeah.
The one that you mentioned.
You know, um, the one, play that one again today.
The Hamas or whatever.
Play that one again.
Play seven.
Seven.
Netanyahu is not an effective leader, but for the United States, Netanyahu's government would fall.
Israel would be in severe, in dire straits.
At what point does the United States Let the Israelis know we're standing behind you, but we are not going to keep fighting.
You don't get a blank check for a guy that sat back and had the attack plans in his government for a year, continued the funding of Hamas through Qatar, and did nothing the day that Israeli women were being raped, and babies were being shot and burned, and grandmothers were being killed.
The second half, right?
Can you give me the second half?
When is America going to blah blah blah?
Yeah, okay.
Title for that opening segment?
What's a good punchy way of putting it?
Something about the Trump economy was a myth?
Or the magic?
Yeah.
Did you know the Trump economy was a myth?
That's what... Title for the rumble.
Oh, for the rumble.
Oh yeah, that's fine.
Did you know the Trump economy was a myth?
Yeah.
Do you want to use an Angel Tree audio here?
No, what I want to do is to come in with... Did you isolate that Christmas song at minute 30?
The tech said 30 at 30.
First Noel?
Yeah, First Noel.
Yes.
Can you come in with that, drop a liner, and keep it playing while I do Angel Tree?
Yes, sir.
Perfect.
And then let's pick, you know, over the weekend or whenever, just pick some other great songs from that YouTube.
Alright, what did I say about Boris will use...
You want to use, um...
Bye.
The dancing White House thing.
Oh, well that's- Oh yeah, B-roll, Boris will do the dance.
We'll be able to see it, but I'm sure he's seen it already.
Oh yeah, he's sure seen it.
And then with Greg, we'll do- We'll just cut five.
We'll cut five with him.
Oh, and six is good.
Greg Kelly, actually.
Yeah.
Okay.
That's good.
Okay, good.
This is B, so nobody here yet.
Angel Tree at the top.
Mm-hmm.
Interesting.
Mm-hmm.
We can say Merry Christmas again.
It's getting close, isn't it?
Let's just pop that up a little bit.
I love these songs.

Let's go to your calls.
Russ in Massachusetts!
Good morning, or good afternoon.
How's it going?
So far, so good.
It's Friday.
It sure is.
I have a question, or a thought.
Yeah.
Why is Dick Durbin blocking the manifest from Congress on the Epstein thing?
There's a lot of Democratic names probably on that list.
Well, I think you just answered your own question, didn't you, Ross?
I think I did.
I think you did.
Thank you very much.
Dick Durbin, one of the most despicable senators on Capitol Hill, why would you be blocking, why would you be blocking the release of the Lolita Express Epstein Private Jet Manifesto?
Fascinating.
I think we know the answer to that question.
Let's go to Dave in Pittsburgh.
Hi, Seb, how you doing?
Good!
Wanted to know if you heard about the movie coming out that Obama was part producer of for Netflix.
It's going to drop right before the convention in the spring.
Well, there's already a movie that's out this week on Netflix that he was a quote-unquote producer on about the end of the world, some kind of cyber attack.
Is that the one you're talking about?
It's called Civil War.
Oh no, that's, yeah, Civil War is the next one.
Yeah, what do I think about it?
I think it's exactly the same as what they did the weekend before last.
They're trying to normalize violence.
They're trying to encourage left-wing lunatics, like the person who tried to kill Justice Kavanaugh, to do the same to President Trump.
They are normalizing violence, Dave.
Yeah, and it's coming.
You know, predictive programming is a real thing.
Hollywood's, of course, on board.
And like I watch on one of your buddies' programs, he has a sign that says, there are no coincidences.
Yeah, I'm not so sure it's about predictive programming.
It's just propaganda.
But thank you, Dave.
Let's go to John in Los Angeles.
Hi, Dr. Lorca.
Hey.
You have a very bad connection.
Do you not have a new phone from Patriot Mobile?
I need one.
I think you do, my friend.
I think you need to get a PatriotMobile.com slash Gawker right after you get on the phone.
What's your comment?
What's your question?
The reason gas is more expensive in California than anywhere else is because of cap and trade.
The reason what?
Captain Trade is why the gas is so expensive in California.
Well, it's many things.
It's also California taxes as well.
Every state gets to impose more taxes as well.
All right, my buddy, get right now to patriotmobile.com slash g-o-r-k-a-john and get your free smartphone upgrade with the code FRIDAY76.
Do it today.
You don't want to be funding those lunatic left-wing Cell phone companies with every call you make and every text you send, especially when you have such a bad, bad connection as that one.
Let's go to Steve in Arizona, line two.
Hello, Seb, this is Mr. Budapest Coffee Mug.
Oh my gosh, my wonderful U.S.
government-issued Budapest Coffee Mug.
It's been a while!
How you doing, Steve?
I'm well, thank you.
I hate to say this, but I might actually make you not like me after this.
Oh, what suggestion do you have for me, Steve?
It's almost Christmas, so you don't want to make me too angry, because you might get on the naughty list.
Well, tonight is the last candle of Hanukkah.
Yes.
And I know you love movies.
I know you love guns.
I know you love Die Hard.
A Christmas movie.
Exactly.
Well, I'm going to suggest that it's not So much a Christmas movie as it is a Hanukkah movie.
Oh!
Stick with me.
Okay.
No, no, no.
You've got 70 seconds.
Go ahead.
Okay.
Very good.
An outnumbered force with limited resources reclaims a tower slash temple that was taken by a foreign invader.
If that isn't Hanukkah in a nutshell, I don't know what is.
Dude, that is superb.
Did you come up with that or did you steal that from somebody else, Steve?
I hate to say it, but somebody else's meme I stole.
Okay.
In that case, I'm going to steal the meme that you stole and I'm going to post that because that, you know, if you know the story of Hanukkah and the salvation of Jerusalem from the ancient Greeks, the Jews, the Israelites were fighting, you know, Steve, I'm not gonna make a declaration right now, but it's a pretty flipping convincing argument that Die Hard could be the ultimate Hanukkah movie about a minority defending a tower and beating a foreign invader.
That's so good.
Stay on the line, Steve.
Let's give him our latest t-shirt.
We've twisted the perverse genocidal chant of the anti-Semites from the river to the sea.
We've put it on a t-shirt with a map of Israel and it says, from the river to the sea, Israel forever free.
And Steve gets his for free as well.
Nicely done.
You didn't make me angry at all.

So Jarrett here, you want to use cuts 5 and 6?
Yeah, 5 and 6.
T them both up.
5 is 40 seconds, so... So you gotta do pillow here, right?
Yeah, come in with 5, I'll do pillow, and then I'll surprise everybody with Greg.
Oh, and we've got to have his book, the new one.
Constitution, yeah.
Constitution and other patriotic documents.
That one just kind of snuck up on us.
Like, he was brooding trial of the century, and then just out of nowhere we got this one.
I know!
I like that.
I like, like, those super niche historical books about things like that.
Well, it's good.
It's a perfect Christmas gift.
Mm-hmm.
Like, one of very few nonfiction books I read recently was, uh, it was called Star Spangled Scandal.
It was about the criminal case that saw the first ever use of, uh, not guilty by reason of insanity in the United States.
No!
It was a congressman, like, right before the Civil War, Mike's on.
And there he is.
to Scott Key's son because he was sleeping with his wife.
Wow.
And then he was ultimately, you know, they went with, oh, he's clearly insane.
He's clearly insane.
He's not guilty.
Mm-hmm.
Hey, it's Jeff Goldberg.
I'm here to do a special for you.
Mic's on.
Good.
You just want to?
And there he is.
Hey, Greg.
Hey, who are you?
Good, good.
I'm going to play that superb cut of you explaining, you know, the legal liability, and then I'm going to surprise everybody and say that you're on the line, okay?
Okay.
And we'll mention the book, and then in the second segment, I'm going to play a clip about the comparison to Trump's children all testifying properly.
Sure.
What are your plans for the season?
Oh, my daughters are arriving here, so we're gonna, you know, have a family Christmas.
It'll be great.
Lovely, lovely.
How about you?
Same thing.
My daughter's coming back from California, so we're gonna have all the kids at home, so it's gonna be a quiet Christmas at home in Virginia.
Ah, that's great.
Good for you.
How many daughters?
I have two daughters.
They're both in their 20s.
One of them's getting a PhD, the other one just finished her master's.
In the legal profession or not?
No, no.
They took one look at their dad's profession and said, no thanks.
What's she writing a PhD in?
Clinical psychology.
Wow.
My daughter's just finishing her certification with Pepperdine to be a family psychiatrist.
Oh my goodness, that's great.
Good school.
Yeah, excellent school. She has to do 3,000 hours of clinical work before they give her
her certificate. It's insane. Wow, that's a lot of work.
Yeah. And the MA, what's the MA in? Occupational therapy. So she's just finished up at
NYU and she's got to take her board certification tests and but she already has a job in
Manhattan.
So did they get their mother's brains?
Absolutely, and good looks.
All right, stand by 20 seconds.
Yes, please.
All right, stand by.
Americans have wised up to Joe Biden's lies and the allegations against him.
You know, Sean, they're serious and credible.
There's compelling evidence of impeachable conduct.
He actively aided and abetted corrupt schemes operated by his son, netting tens of millions of dollars from foreign interests while selling access and promises of influence.
There's documents and testimonies that implicate the father as complicit.
And so, you know, exploiting a public office to enrich your family, even if you don't profit yourself, that's both a criminal offense, Sean, and it's an impeachable one.
That last half sentence, nobody has expressed it as clearly.
Even if you don't make money directly, using your public office for members of your family to enrich themselves is both a crime and an impeachable offense.

Because he is Greg Jarrett.
Merry Christmas, Greg!
Hey, Seb.
Merry Christmas to you as well and your family.
All right, I hope I faked out at least some of our three and a half million listeners.
Greg, why is it that that last point Seems to just not be understood, let alone by the mainstream legacy media, but even by a lot on the right, in the conservative media, that they don't have to demonstrate, you know, piles of cash being given to Joe Biden.
If he was involved in helping his family members profit from his various positions, that's a crime as well.
Oh, it absolutely is.
It's in the criminal codes.
It's highlighted there.
18 U.S.C. 201.
And it says if the money goes to another person or entity instead of the officeholder in corrupt influence, peddling schemes, bribery and so forth, that's still a crime.
You don't have to accept a penny of it.
And look, that statute was passed by Congress for a specific reason, because they knew that
public officials who were corrupt and greedy would try to hide their ill-gotten gains by
putting it in segregated accounts not in their name or, more often than not, family members.
And so they closed that loophole in the criminal codes.
And let's also drill down on the question of how the establishment says, well, there's no evidence that Biden changed any U.S.
policy, except for the video of him extorting the Ukrainian government to fire the prosecutor investigating his son's company, Burisma.
You don't have to change government policy.
You can simply give the impression.
You could take a bribe and say, well, you've got access to my dad, and my dad got on the call with you, but you don't have to actually do anything.
It is the appearance of access alone, isn't it?
Absolutely.
I've written several columns about that very point, Seb.
You know, the law is quite specific.
Not only Influence peddling, but promises of future influence that go unfulfilled, even just selling access, is a crime.
And, you know, despite Joe Biden's repeated denials of any involvement in his son's schemes, the records show otherwise.
That he attended meetings, met personally with his son's overseas partner, spoke by phone with Hunter's clients more than 20 times, and of course, as you point out, the Burisma scandal was a classic quid pro quo, conferring a benefit in exchange for money.
So, you know, the Impeachment Inquiry Committee has been following the money, $24 million flowing into a complex web of shell companies operated in the shadows by Hunter Biden and of course some of that cash funneled to
Biden family members.
It's self-enrichment, it's profiteering, it's illegal and it's an impeachable offense.

We'll continue the discussion with Greg in a moment.
Coming to you live from TheReliefFactor.com studios.
Is there potentially a better gift than liberating a loved one from their pain?
Are you or somebody in your family suffering every day from daily pain?
That was me for more than nine years, for almost a decade.
It was my mother for more than twenty years.
Rumor told, arthritis.
When I was a kid, if Relief Factor had been around then, I would have saved up all my pocket money and bought it for my mother.
Sadly, it wasn't.
But today, you have that option.
Relief Factor is liberating more than a million Americans from their daily pain.
Me included.
Find out for yourself.
The only thing you have to lose is the pain.
Order the three-week quick starter pack at relieffactor.com or call 1-800-4-RELIEF.

No, I don't do that.
I really hate doing that, so I stuck strictly to media appearances, TV, radio, podcasts, that sort of thing.
Who's the publisher for the new one?
HarperCollins.
Nice, congratulations.
Yeah, the other book earlier this year, Trial of the Century, that was Simon & Schuster.
And which one is better at promotion?
You know, it's hard to say.
I'd say they're about equal.
What is your system?
Do you carve out a fixed amount of time every day to write or is it more spontaneous?
No, I do carve out time every day.
I get up super early and I write for several hours until my regular job kicks in.
And if I get to finish early on a day, I'll go back and continue to work some more.
So, I mean, you know this.
You've written books.
It's a grind.
It is a grind.
Especially, you know, difficult when you have You know, a full-time job, so you've got to carve out the time.
Right.
And especially on the day of cell phones and emails, it's even harder.
You've just got to switch it off and concentrate.
Yeah, absolutely.
You got anything coming up?
Alright, Eric, can you hear me?
Yep.
I lost the feed.

Greg Kelly had an amazing summation of the Trump family and how President Trump's children Complied with all the subpoenas that were fired against them, and I want to compare that with what we witnessed this week outside Congress.
But don't forget, I will be hosting tonight at 7 p.m.
Live, the hottest show on Newsmax.
I will be sitting in for my buddy Rob Schmidt.
7 p.m.
Eastern.
Be there.
We've got some amazing guests, including a former member of the Trump cabinet.
Let's listen to my buddy Greg.
Cut five!
Donald Trump Jr.
responded to a deposition.
He didn't have a press conference outside.
He went to Capitol Hill.
And yeah, he faced the music.
The music was a dud, oh, by the way.
But he went there to see the House Intelligence Committee.
And he was deposed by Letitia James.
He complied.
That's what they do.
They follow the law.
Eric Trump complied.
He followed the law.
They get harassed.
They actually comply at the same time.
Ivanka Trump, she had to go through those ridiculous January 6 hearings.
Look at what they did to her, huh?
The whole family sits down in front of 60 Minutes.
Donald Trump Jr.
also went on The View.
These guys go on hostile media.
They actually confront them.
They're not afraid.
They don't have anything to hide.
The Bidens have a lot to hide and we saw it.
He runs away at the end, just like the old man.
No questions!
I'm done!
And he walks off.
Yep, just like the old man.
But the Trump children had nothing to hide.
Let's break it down.
Let's compare it to what we saw this week with Hunter Biden, with the legal and political scholar we trust.
He's the author of the brand new book, A Perfect Christmas Gift.
It is the constitution of the United States and other patriotic documents.
Greg Jarrett, we saw this Peculiar.
It wasn't a press conference, as one of our listeners stated, because he took no questions.
It was a press statement.
And then I heard another radio host say, Hunter Biden must have the dumbest attorneys on the planet because he holds a press statement where he actually confesses to not complying to the congressional subpoena.
What do these people have to hide and how bad are their attorneys, Greg?
You know, standing next to Hunter Biden at his press conference on Capitol Hill were three lawyers, Eric Swalwell, a Democrat member of Congress, Abby Lowell, his personal attorney and his sugar daddy, also attorney Kevin Morris.
These guys must be the most Larry and Curly of the legal profession.
To encourage Hunter Biden to do that was idiotic.
A brazenly defying a valid subpoena to appear for his deposition, which is routine.
And instead he's standing there demanding his own conditions that it be a public hearing.
He has no right to do that.
Witnesses don't get to dictate terms.
Failure to comply is a crime.
So, you know, Hunter foolishly made the case against himself for why he should be held in contempt and prosecuted for it.
Now let's walk through, because another caller asked the details, and I'm not the attorney, you are.
So now the Congress, and please tell me if any of this is wrong, the Congress has to vote him in contempt.
And then forward that to the federal government, the Department of Justice, which should take action, but won't because his father is the president.
Is that the likely scenario?
Yes, I think it is.
So the process is you hold him in contempt, then you make the referral to the U.S.
Attorney in Washington, D.C., appointed by Joe Biden, and who reports to Eric Garland, the AG appointed by Joe Biden.
They were quick to prosecute anybody for defying a subpoena in the Donald Trump orbit.
So, logically, they should also go after Hunter Biden.
But I suspect they won't.
Last question.
Significant news, seemingly.
The Supreme Court deciding to hear the 1312 charges of obstruction of an official proceeding that was used against 320 J6 protesters.
If the Supreme Court says that that The statute which was brought after the Enron case designed
to stop the destruction of evidence was improperly applied by Biden's DOJ.
What happens then?
Are those convictions vacated?
Do they have to be appealed?
How significant is this decision?
Well, it's a legal quagmire if the Supreme Court does what I think they should do, and
that is this was the wrongful use of a very narrow statute.
So they would have to take a look at each and every one of those cases, decide whether
just the conviction on that count should be overturned and the defendant resentenced,
or whether it tainted the entire trial and the whole thing should be tossed out.
So, it certainly impacts.
On that particular topic, I think so.
I do have confidence in the Supreme Court.
he faces a similar charge. We have 10 seconds left. Do you have confidence that
the Supreme Court will do what you think is the right thing?
On that particular topic I think so. I do have confidence in the Supreme Court.
On others I'm not so sure. Well you heard it here first.
We have been talking to the author of the Constitution and other patriotic documents, a perfect gift for this Christmas season.

Is the United States becoming a police state?
Dinesh D'Souza's new movie, Police State, answers that question.
It's his timeliest and most eye-opening film yet.
Watch it today at SalemNow.com.
If you missed my discussion of the footage I saw in Congress this week from October 7th, I will be discussing it tonight on Newsmax.
I'll be guest hosting for Rob Schmidt, the number one show.
We have some amazing guests lined up, thanks to Mr. G. Do not miss it, 7 p.m.
Eastern on Newsmax.
If you stand with Israel, it's the latest item on our website.
It's designed with your help.
It's the map of Israel.
We've twisted the perverse genocidal chant of the pro-Hamas lunatics.
This time the shirt says, from the river to the sea, Israel will be forever free.
Get it and so much more.

Beth, welcome to America First.
Thank you, Dr. Gorka.
Listen, Poland had an election a few weeks ago.
It hasn't been covered much.
It's really confusing.
I wonder what your take is on it.
No, I don't think anybody's really covered it much or discussed it in the mainstream media.
It's a bit disappointing.
The incoming new head of state is a Europhile, or more specifically, he likes the European Union.
The conservative government he replaced is far more Trumpian than these guys, so hopefully they'll continue to support the freedom fighters in Ukraine, but the great nation of Poland has not moved in the right direction.
Mario, Philadelphia!
Mario!
I do like the name Mario.
All right, you'll have to call us back.
Dave, Arizona!
Thank you, Dr. Gorka.

Happy Warrior Dittos here in State 48, sir.
God bless.
What's your question?
What's your comment?
So it ties into the NDAA passage this week.
You and Admiral Bannon were talking the other day and said you needed a new label for the Deep State, the Administrative State.
I've used for a few years the Establishment Class.
Oh, that's good.
I like that.
Hang on, let me write that down.
The Establishment Class.
Yeah, carry on.
It's not only politicians, it's people in the military industrial complex, people in the media, people in the medical conspiracy field.
You know, all those people that said wear a mask, it'll protect you.
By the way, get a vaccine, it'll protect you.
If you're asymptomatic, you're spreading disease.
All those clowns.
It includes all those.
And Hollywood, of course, top to bottom.
All the media.
And did you come up with that label, Establishment Class?
I did, back in May of 2020, sir.
I like that.
I'm going to ponder it.
I'm going to think over it.
We might have to start using that instead.
But in the meantime, we'll say thank you to you.
You get to pick whichever one of my books as a little Christmas thank you.
Defeating Jihad is the one that propelled me to the White House, the truth about the jihadis and the threat to you.
The book I left right after I left the White House, which is Why We Fight, Defeating America's Enemies With No Apologies, and sadly more relevant than ever, My third book, The War for America, is sold, but you, Dave, get to choose which signed copy you want.

you Hello, everybody.
This is your favorite president, Donald J. Trump.
And I want to let you know that I'm also a big fan of Sebastian.
So I know you listen to him, and he's got a great audience, good ratings, and all of those things.
But he has it because he's a very talented guy.
He's an amazing man.
So I just wanted to say that.
And you're not wasting your time by listening to Sebastian Gorka.
And this is not a paid commercial, but it's a commercial out of love and out of respect for a man that's really a great patriot.
So enjoy the shows for many years to come, unless he happens to be going into government, which could happen.
Thank you.
That was the last line we recorded with the President a couple of weeks ago in Mar-a-Lago.
I think it's my new favorite.
Thank you, Alex.
We are celebrating the last day of Hanukkah, the festival of light, the Israelite victory over the ancient Greeks, protecting, saving the city, the temple in Jerusalem.
We are in the depths of Christmas.
So much to discuss.
Oh, it's Friday, by the way.
It's Ask Dr. G Anything Friday.
It's Second Amendment Friday, of course, which means what?
We say thank you to Carr Firearms.
Carr Firearms are on the front line of protecting your Second Amendment liberties.
We are delighted to have them as our Second Amendment Friday sponsor.
Carr Firearms, always there for you.
I carry a 9mm Carr every single day.
They have the iconic line of self-defense handguns at KAHR.com, but also the legendary Desert Eagle and the historic auto ordnance, including the M1 carbine, the 1911, and the Tommy gun.
Check them out at KAHR.com.
That's KAHR.com.
It is that time of the week.
We must check in with my former White House colleague, senior advisor to the President of the United States and his attorney.
We call him the Baron, Boris Epstein.
Welcome back to America First.
Thank you so much.
It's an honor to be with you.
It's great to be here.
Always a favorite part of my week, especially with that new leader for President Trump.
It's truly amazing, over and above.
Business, if you know what I mean, you know, personnel stuff 2025.
And at the end of our hour long meeting, I said, would you like to say something to the listeners?
No script, no nothing, no PR team, just put my phone in front of him.
And he just extemporized.
That's the president.
Okay.
Could you imagine Biden trying to do that?
Oh, no, I can't.
Beautiful segue.
This is Biden.
Just now trying to thank the person who introduced him four seconds ago and not knowing who it was.
I mean, you're a mind reader.
Play cut 12.
So, I want to thank y'all for taking the time to be here.
I want to thank my, uh, my introducer.
I know you're down to 35, but it's going to get down to 2,000 bucks a year.
Thanks.
I'd like to thank my, uh, uh, uh, I'd like to thank my, uh, uh, uh, my introducer.
That's a classic one.
I'll remember that one, Boris.
How about you?
Hello.
I'm here.
Are you my host?
You're creeping me out!
Stop it!
I mean, what is going on?
Inside Baseball, I did a little, it wasn't an interview, I was just helping out a journalist about two hours ago who came into the office from the biggest, biggest outlet outside of America.
I'm not going to give it away, but its initials are D&M.
And this individual was at the Christmas party at the White House and he met Slow Joe and he just said, That guy is gone.
He is like out of it.
Crooked Joe is gone.
I mean, he's crooked in many ways, right?
He's crooked because he's crooked.
He's crooked because they're corrupt, but he's also crooked because he's all screwed up, and this guy's a disaster.
President Trump, and he'll do beautiful messages like that, one take.
He'll do videos, one take, get in, get out, crushing it.
Absolutely dominating everything from the polls to speeches to golf.
And then you've got Joe Biden who literally can't shrink two sensors together and is ruining our country and the world.
The contrast has never been clearer.
And that's why President Trump is crushing it in the selection.
Stunning.
If the election were today, it would be like a Ronald Reagan blowout, 49 or 50 of the states.
Let's talk about your time, my time in the White House.
One of the most delightful things of the season is when the good guys are in charge.
It's the Christmas parties.
People don't realize there's not one White House Christmas party.
There's like a dozen of them because there's so many people you want to have.
Parties, open houses, tours, this is great stuff.
Yeah, it's beautiful.
And when we were in the building and Melania was decorating it, it was just stunning.
I'm just going to play in the background the video Jill Biden released yesterday of the freaks that did this Themed epileptic fit.
It wasn't a dance.
There was nothing Christmassy about it.
It was done to jazz music.
It looked like... What was it?
Who described it?
Was it you, Eric?
What did you say it looked like?
It definitely looks like, and Boris just now hinted at it, it looks like all the elites in the Hunger Games movies who deliberately dress as bizarrely as possible.
Yes, the elites in the Hunger Games.
And let me just read these to you.
So somebody found the following.
This is from an amazing Twitter account, Boris, called End Wokeness.
And I'll read it to you.
And it has photographs of the dance company's website who was hired to do this quote-unquote Christmas video.
Breaking the group behind the viral Biden Christmas video is a radical anti-white group called Dorrance Dance.
On the group website, it calls for defunding the police, abolishing prisons, and even quotes Karl Marx terrorist Angela Davis.
Baron, it's supposed to be a Christmas video.
Sebastian, that's the Christmas spirit now, okay?
That's what, to the Democrats and these crazy radical liberals, that's what Christmas means.
It means that everybody who's not with them should be abolished.
No Christmas music, no Santa.
Don't you even think about Santa Claus.
And by the way, obviously we're Jewish and we celebrate Hanukkah, it's wonderful, but I could not be more in.
On ending the war on crystals, which President Trump ended when we won in 2016, and which President Trump will again end when he wins in November of 2024 and comes back to the White House in January of 2025.
And again, the contrast could be more clear between this absolute disaster done by Dr. Joe Biden and the classiness, the celebration of spirit, the celebration of togetherness.
from first lady Melania Trump.
Yes.
And again, on display today, the first lady Melania Trump speaking at NALA today,
the National Archives, the epitome of class, the epitome of strength,
the epitome of all that's great about America.
That is First Lady Melania Trump, that's President Trump and the Trump family.
Yeah, for you guys who missed it in the news, we're going to cover it tonight on Newsmax at 7 o'clock.
I'll be guest hosting for Rob Schmidt.
The First Lady, shockingly, was invited for the naturalization ceremony at the National Archives where she talked about, you know, how tough it was for her to legally become an American citizen, encouraging those who are here.
Oh yeah, we know what it's like, because we are legal immigrants in the United States.
I've posted the video on my social media.
We'll be talking about it tonight with Ben Carson and others on the show.
So, a beautiful connection.
Thank you, Boris.
We've got a couple of minutes left.
If that wasn't cringy enough, I don't know if you've seen this, I'm going to cringe you out to level 11.
I know, I know.
Well, it'll be a good excuse for you to have an even better cigar later.
So if you thought Jill was bad, if you thought slow Joe Beijing Biden was bad, how about if we have a cocktail of a really old looking Obama and Joe Biden, and this is like cringe factor max, cut 15.
Hey, President Biden, is Obamacare still a thing?
Is it still a thing?
Yes.
Obamacare, the Affordable Care Act, Bidencare, whatever you call it, yes, it is still a thing.
The other side's been trying to repeal it every year since it's existed.
But we'll keep fighting to protect it.
Not just protect it, but expand it, saving millions of dollars for working families, for covering more people than ever.
Just go to healthcare.gov to learn more.
Yeah, it's still a BFD.
You can't even hear what Biden's saying, Barron.
He's slurring those words.
It's pathetic.
The whole thing's pathetic.
It's so unbecoming of our country.
And this is while Jews are being slaughtered in the Middle East.
There's a war in Eastern Europe.
Gas prices are sky high.
Our country is unsafe.
I'm sure this weekend will be another bloodbath in the inner cities.
This is what these two fools are doing.
It is embarrassing.
It's disgusting.
And politically, it is absolutely terrible for the Democrats.
And that's why the Democrats in Congress are ditching Bidenomics.
Everybody knows that the American people want President Trump back in office as soon as possible.
It's so exciting.
I wish we had the British system where, you know, the incumbent government could call the election whenever we could call.
We could convince them to call it early because it would be such an utter trouncing.
All right, I hope you had an absolutely blessed Hanukkah.
Please follow our friend BorisEP.com, at BorisEP on social media, and Boris underscore Epstein, senior advisor to the Trump 2024 campaign, and my former colleague in the White House.

It was a blast.
All right, buddy.
Have a great weekend.
Have a great weekend.
We look forward to cigar pictures.
See you, buddy.
Bye-bye.
Hey, Alex, can you make a line?
Just find one of the speeches of the president where he says, and we can say Merry Christmas again.
Yes, sir.
Thank you.
All right, I have that cut of Johnson.
Oh, go ahead.
40 seconds long.
Play that one.
Go ahead.
Is our guest coming in?
Not yet.
The National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan, meeting with Israeli authorities and IDF
force leaders, asked them to lower the intensity of the fighting against Hamas.
They have not shown that they have any acumen in that area, of course.
The biggest foreign policy blunder probably of our lifetimes was the withdrawal of Afghanistan and all of the other debacles that they've created on the world stage.
Yes.
Israel has to prevail.
We do not need a ceasefire.
We need to take out Hamas.
Open the lines.
And for the White House to say anything other than that, as you said, shows that they're detached from reality.
Good.
All right.
I'll use that along with...
The Obama... The Obama... The, um... Cut in nine.
He could walk here in five minutes from there.
Yeah.
So, it must be closed or something.
Well, there was awful traffic.
I mean, they shut down the parkway this morning.
Going north.
Um... And cut seven.
I'll do all those together.
Seven, nine, and Johnson.
Title for Boris.
Now, what are you calling that?
Fif... Sixteen?
Uh, yeah, just call it... Yeah, just sixteen.
Um...
Obama was Obama's even more cringe than Joe Biden Wait
By the way one step closer over in the Netherlands the new speaker of the house there is a member of Wilders this
party All right, what do you want to say?
Oh, cool.
Yeah, looks like government formation for him as prime minister is not too far off.
I cannot wait.
He's one of my absolute favorites.
Do you want an audio here for Angel Tree?
Yeah, I'll use Joseph.
I... coming with the Angel tree liner or no?
So.
Thank you.
Yeah, come in with it after the liner, whatever liner you're using.
Just start playing Joseph and the image.
you.
Thank you.
I'm going to go ahead and get started.
I will write to my dad about what happened and one Christmas gift I got from Angel Tree was a drawing pad.
That was my favorite I got.
I also got paint and colored pencils.
I knew he knew what I wanted and he got the right thing.
My name's Joseph and I love Angel Tree.
A simpler age, maybe a simpler child.
I had some paints, some coloring pencils.
That's Joseph.
He's one of the recipients, thanks to people like you, of the generosity of the Prison Fellowship Angel Tree Program.
Have you donated this year?
It's one of the most beautiful things you can do.
Why?
Well, because we focus on our families at Christmas, of course.
But what about broken families?
What about families where one of them, the mother or the father, is in prison?
And the child left behind is vulnerable, is afraid, feels guilty through no fault of their own for their family being broken.
These children are vulnerable.
There's more than one and a half million of them in America and more than two-thirds of them will end up behind bars themselves.
I want to do my part with your help to break that cycle.
How do we do that?
We show them some love this Christmas, some Christian love.
We get them a Christmas present with a note from their parent and a children's Bible.
It costs only $25 per child.
$125 is 5 children who will feel a little bit more love this Christmas.
$250 is 10 children who will have a slightly brighter Christmas thanks to you.
Christmas. $250 is 10 children who will have a slightly brighter Christmas thanks to you.
But whatever you can give, you'll make a difference.
Please call in your donation today to the Prison Fellowship on 888-206-2794, or just go to our website, sebgawker.com, and click on the Angel Tree banner.
That's 888-206-2794.
We'll go to S-E-B-G-O-R-K-A, sebgawker.com, and the Angel Tree banner.
We're going to go to your calls in a moment.
833-33-GORKA.
That's 833-334-6752.
But I have to credit my colleague, one of my big bosses at Salem, who, well, he got an interview.
He's managed to get the new Speaker of the House, Mike Johnson, to talk about what's happening in the Middle East on Capitol Hill.
And here's a little clip.
The National Security Advisor, Jake Sullivan, meeting with Israeli authorities and IDF force leaders, asked them to lower the intensity of the fighting against Hamas.
They have not shown they have any acumen in that area, of course.
The biggest foreign policy blunder probably of our lifetimes was the withdrawal of Afghanistan and all of the other debacles that they've created on the world stage.
Yes.
Israel has to prevail.
We do not need a ceasefire.
We need to take out Hamas, quite clearly.
And for the White House to say anything other than that, as you said, shows that they're detached from reality.
Fabulous, fabulous clarity.
I like the cut of that man's jib.
Speaker Johnson, no ceasefire until Hamas is destroyed.
That was an interview by my good friend Tom Tradup for the Jerusalem-based All Israel News.
That's Tom Tradup with the allisrael.com website out of Jerusalem.
Okay.
Keep up.
Keep it up, Speaker Johnson.
That's impressive.
All right.
It's Friday.
It's Second Amendment Friday.
Car Firearms is the sponsor.

Let's have a firearms question from Randy in Knoxville.
Hey, good afternoon, Dr. Gorka.
Hey.
Hey, I'm looking at buying a Heckler & Koch pistol.
Ah, some German engineering.
Okay.
It's got some good.
I hear good things about it.
So I'm kind of a salivating over it, but I don't know.
Should I go with the H K 45 or the P 30?
No.
All right.
Are you a Are you a big guy?
Average build.
Average build.
You might want to go with the latter.
Look, I like HK.
My favorite is a gun that's no longer made from the 80s called the P7, the classic squeeze cocker.
The .45 in their ilk, like the USP, they're a little bit blocky.
They don't have superb economics.
Ergonomics.
They're a little bit like glocks.
They're like picking up a brick.
So you may want to go with your second choice.
Oh, how about this, Randy?
You're in Knoxville, right?
Yes.
I recommend this to people who are, you know, deciding on purchasing a gun.
First, check out CAR.
CARFIREARMS.COM and then go to a range where they have a selection of weapons you can try.
Nowadays it's very common that you can rent a gun for like 10-12 bucks an hour and you can say, okay, I'll take the USP, I'll take the H&K, I'll take the CAR, And you try them out and you see how they fit because it's not just how it looks on the page of a magazine or in a social media ad.
It's how it shoots in your hand.
So Randy, check it out.
Try it on the range and then decide and then get a permit to carry if you're in a municipality that needs that.
And otherwise, it's called the Constitution.
Constitutional carry.
Great question.
Thank you, Randy.
Jason, Chicago.
Hey.
Hey, Seb, how you doing?
Thank you for taking my call, sir.
Good, no worries.
What's the question?
What's the comment?
Well, I had an idea for a t-shirt.
Okay, what is it?
It's a red t-shirt with white lettering and it says RETRUMPLIKINS.
RETRUMPLIKINS.
I do think, Jason, I do think I've seen that somewhere before.
I'm not sure you came up with that, did you?
Uh, well, I thought of it.
I'm not sure that I came up with it, if you've seen it before, but... Yeah, I think I've heard the phrase retromplicans before, so, um, I like it.
I like it.
Let me, let me ponder it.
Let me send it to, uh, our merch meister, Randy.
In the meantime, we've got some amazing Christmas deals.
All kinds of specials.
T-shirts, bumper stickers, hats, my books, the Yuletide bundle, if you've had it with the Deep State, is the yard sign.
With the President's booking photograph from Atlanta, and a very simple message, Trump 2024.
It is, along with the mug, and the Trump 2024 flag, the beautiful flag, with a very special price at SebGorkaStore.com.
That's S-E-B-G-O-R-K-A-Store.com.
Let's go to Patrick in Cleveland.
Yeah, Seb, you were talking about Scarborough the other day saying that When he was ranting about Israel knew about the plan of attack about a year ago.
Yeah.
Charlie Kirk said the same exact thing like a week or so ago.
Okay, does that mean he's right?
Well, no, I just wanted to know, I mean, where are they getting this information from?
The New York Times.
Do you believe the New York Times, Patrick?
It was a report in the New York Times.
No, no.
Why would you trust the New York Times and why would you side with Joe Scarborough?
I didn't say that.
No, no, I'm asking you a question now.
You asked me where it came from.
The report came from the New York Times.
Why would you believe the New York Times?
I didn't hear it from the New York Times.
I heard it from Charlie Kirk.
No, no, but the report, the original report, Patrick, was in the New York Times.
Why would you believe them?
I don't believe them.
I'm asking you a question.
And I'm asking you a question.
The original report was in the New York Times.
Why would you trust the New York Times?
I'm not.
I never said I did.
Well then, you're a wise man.
You shouldn't.
Thank you.
I'm Sebastian Gorka.
This is America First.
Make sure you're following us on all social media platforms.
Just look for my name, Seb Gorka, on all the ones that matter and my sub stack, sebastiangorka.substack.com
.
Dr. G is ready for anything on America First!
Wow, some insane breaking news.
I'll share it with you in a moment.
CAR Firearms, the greatness of our nation, is at its core our freedom.
No other country is as free, and we remain free primarily because of our right to keep and bear arms.
No other company in America personifies that right more than the CAR Firearms Group.
Their story is the American dream.
Their products are absolutely second to none.
Car Firearms Group is your source for high-quality firearms.
I carry a 9mm car every single day.
Check out their weapons at KAHR.com.
They include the legendary Desert Eagle line and the historic Auto Ordnance, including the M1 carbine, the legendary Thompson, and the historic 1911.
That's KAHR.com.
KAHR.com.
A Georgia court without actually having a proper trial, incredible, has ordered Rudy
Giuliani to pay more than $148 million for false accusations made against election workers.
A defamation suit that never went to trial.
He has already been ordered.
When the damages requested by the parties who said they had been defamed was 10% of that.
Was less than 15 million.
And the judge has multiplied it by 10.
Multiplied it by 10 to a hundred and forty eight million dollars.
Okay, I think we might have to get Mayor Giuliani on my show.
On the show I'm hosting tonight for Rob Schmidt on Newsmax to discuss that.
He's talking right now outside some federal building it looks like.
No, yes, he's in Washington, D.C.
We'll reach out to him and we'll definitely get him on the show next week.
Unbelievable.
All right, let's continue this discussion about the New York Times and Israel.
Warren, Chicago, Line 5.
Yes.
Hi, Seb.
That report from the New York Times that says some elements within Israeli intelligence knew about the Hamas plan.
It's not just being reported by the New York Times, it's been widely reported in Israel as well.
Right.
And I just want to add that in communities like mine that are pro-Israel, I can already sense that a lot of neighbors, even my own kids who are in college, some are in high school, I'm very dissatisfied with what's happening in Gaza.
The images that are bombing the phones through Facebook, through TikTok, they bring some of this stuff to me and they say, Dad, this just can't be right.
No nation should be allowed to bomb its own citizens because they define, you know, Palestinians as living within the borders of Israel.
And then what is your response to them, Warren?
You see, I am an immigrant from Southern Africa, largely Christian.
So, we've grown up Christian, supporting Israel.
But I have to say that it's giving me pause.
Not my support for Israel, but the response, the overwhelming response to the terrorism.
So, did you hear my monologue, Warren, on Tuesday, after I came back from Congress, after I had been shown the unedited footage of what really happened on October the 7th?
Did you hear that monologue, Warren?
Yes, I heard, and I'm almost done.
So, my question is, if they say they have killed about 5,000 Hamas fighters, and there are over 100,000 of them, It's not going to be possible to destroy Hamas.
I would expect by now that Hamas is neutralized.
But if only 5,000 of them are dead, then the whole of Gaza has to die before the job's done.
And that's not going to happen.
So there has to be a better response to what's happening now.
It's not logical.
Go ahead.
Well, what I have been saying from the beginning, and I'm still not sure why it hasn't happened,
maybe it's a question of intelligence gathering, I want to see all of these people hunted down
across the world and killed.
So the people that did the unspeakable things on October the 7th,
They are the foot soldiers.
They are the animals who are executing the orders of the Hamas leadership and the Mullahs and the IRGC in Tehran.
I want to see, as Mossad did after Black September did what they did in the Munich Olympics, I want to see the leaders hunted down across the world and killed.
Because that's how you have the ultimate victory.
You can't bomb Gaza into the ground.
And think that you will not create eventually more foot soldiers.
You have to disincentivize the people who gave the orders.
Thank you, Warren, for a great, great call.
I'm Sebastian Gawker.
This is America First.
If you have a cell phone, please, please, please tell me it's not linked to the big cell phone providers.
Because they're on the other side.
They're woke.
They're left wing.
They contribute millions of dollars to causes like Planned Parenthood and gun control.
You should go with the only Christian conservative cell phone company in America.
It's the one I use.
It's called Patriot Mobile.
It has the same nationwide coverage.
It's got a performance guarantee, extra discounts for veterans and first responders, and also, they're on your side!
You can keep your old phone, you can keep your old number, or how about this?
Right now, they've extended their Black Friday deal, and you'll get a free smartphone with Friday 76.
Switch today.
Call 972-PATRIOT or go to patriotmobile.com slash Gawker.
And for your free smartphone, use the code FRIDAY76.
Sorry, I didn't write it down.
What was the title you wanted to give to that Mike Johnson clip?
Speaker Johnson's... Commitment to Israel?
Clarity on the war in Israel.
Clarity on the war in Israel.
Yup.
You can block the lines.
Okay.
Alright, we're gonna do the long car here.
And citizens.
Citizens?
Oh my gosh, citizens?
You're right, citizens.
You could use the b-roll of that stupid Obama-Biden thing at the beginning there.
For, oh, for citizens.
That was pre-recorded and he was screwing up his line.
It just sounded terrible.
The only times they probably did it... Can you imagine?
They probably did that 40 times.
And how mad Obama was, probably.
Yeah, we know Obama doesn't like Biden.
Yes, read at the beginning.
Our firearms first.
That's citizens.
Copy that.
And then we gotta get to our trucker!
We gotta get to Joe, Franco, Betsy and Tom.
Franco's back!
Franco, is he gonna pull the horn?
He always does!
Is it gonna be liquid eggs again?
It's always liquid.
Ahhhh.
Those liquid eggs are probably more valuable than...
Haha, than gold right now.
Yeah.
Um, I might use cut 13 before we go to calls.
Might use 13 before we go to calls.
Yeah.
All right.
Car then citizens.
Oh, when are we going to talk again with the guys?
Six, I guess, as usual.
I didn't hear what they said.
Well, I'll ask.
You there?
Yeah.
I didn't hear.
I'll ask.
Keep talking to somebody.
Testing, testing, testing.
It is now 443.
What do we usually do?
Like six?
Jeff?
Usually, yeah.
Yeah, okay.
Eric, you had the car video?
Oh, yeah, yeah.
Guess we're coming in with that.
Mm-hmm.
All right.
you you
you this is second amendment Friday on America first brought to
you by car Firearms. Bye!
I thank the good Lord every day that America remains the freest nation on Earth, and we can remain that way because of our right to keep and bear arms.
No other company in America personifies that right more than the Carr Firearms Group, led by our good friend Justin Moon.
Carr stands strong and unashamed in their support for the right to keep and bear arms.
Americans can be sure that no matter what happens, the Carr Firearms Group will be on the front lines fighting for American Second Amendment rights.
I carry a 9mm Carr every single day.
Check out their amazing line of weapons, including the iconic Desert Eagle and the historic Auto Ordnance to include the M1 Carbine, the legendary Tommy Gun, and the venerable 1911.
Check them all out at CAR.com.
That's K-A-H-R dot com.
K-A-H-R dot com.
Portions of America First are brought to you in part by CAR Firearms.
All right, I was going to play a clip, but the call board is absolutely jam-packed.
Let's go to Joe in Orange County.
Yes, Dr. Gorka.
I'd like to start by saying the New York Times always lies, but every lie is based in truth.
And why they were saying that there was intelligence on the attack of October 7th before it is playing on the fact that for the prior two years, there had been multiple attempts to breach the fence at various places.
At the place they did reach October 7th, there probably were 50 attempts.
And to say that we knew in advance that that attempt on October 7th, that that particular place of the fence was known in advance, is an outright lie.
As somebody who served in the intelligence corps of the British Territorial Army and who still maintains his top-secret clearance, there's always intelligence, okay?
Unless all the terrorists are dead, they are planning to do something.
The idea that They had the plan and ignored it.
It's utterly garbage.
But you've got it, Joe.
They want to use those tidbits, those little morsels of truth, to do what?
It's not about news, Joe.
It's about hurting Bibi Netanyahu.
The New York Times is anti-American, anti-Semitic, just as much as the president of Harvard.
A superb call.
Thank you, Joe.
Oh my gosh.
Franco!
Our truck driving buddy!
Where are you, Franco?
Dr. G!
Where are you today?
I'm on my way home.
I'm in Iowa, heading home.
Is it, uh, were you trucking liquid eggs again?
What was your cargo?
No, that's the former job.
Now all I do is haul soy-based biodiesel.
Soy-based biodiesel?
Does that mean that you're politically correct?
No, just my load, maybe.
Just your load.
All right.
What do you want to talk about, Franco?
Happy Friday.
Happy Friday to you, too.
Well, I got a gun question for you, but the t-shirt idea got squashed, but I think the term or the word is priceless, so maybe you can use it.
In the matter of Biden's border policy and the cost of human treasure, it's pure bidemonic.
Oh, Biden... I get it.
Demonics.
I get it.
It's hard to say.
It is.
It is.
And I speak English pretty well.
That's difficult.
Okay.
Let me think about that.
What is your gun question, my friend?
I'm wondering if we might agree on the sexiest, one of the sexiest, mass-produced stock sidearm, that being the Walther P99.
Dude, you are a man of rare taste.
All right, I'm just gonna geek out now.
It is the Second Amendment Friday segment.
We don't have a guest in studio.
He's stuck on Key Bridge somewhere in T.C.
because that's the nature of the swap.
So the P-99, an unusual design.
It was the gun that replaced James Bond's PPK in the hands of one Pierce Brosnan.
I have Two or three of them?
I don't even remember.
I've got a black one, I've got a green one.
Why do you like the P99, Franco?
Is it the paddle mag release?
Is it the decocking button on the top?
What is it?
It's the Teutonic styling.
Just the look of it I just love.
I don't own one yet.
What?
And I'm not a fan.
No, I've always wanted one, but I'm not a fan of the green because to me the P99 is black.
I'm going to be on Gun Broker all weekend long.
Dude, that is my one illness hanging out on Gun Broker.
You know why your call is so timely?
I got some news for you.
You may know this already, Franco.
They have just issued, I saw it at the gun show two weeks ago, the last ever run of P99s.
Walther is going to stop making them and they've released a boxed set.
So hurry up, my friend.
I don't want you to miss out.
Will you promise me?
I will.
I'm going to be on the site all weekend long until I can find one, I fear.
All right.
Get back to us.
We want to hear from you next week if you are successful.
The P99, a very cool gun.
It looks like a ray gun.
If you haven't checked it out, go online.
Franco's absolutely right.
It looks like something out of a, you know, a future Star Wars movie.
And of course, it was James Bond's new gun.
Let's go to Betsy in Texas, San Antonio.
Hello, Dr. Gorka.
This is Betsy, one of your biggest fans.
You are full of beans today.
You are a high energy lady, Betsy.
I'm always high energy.
I'm hyper.
I wanted to tell you something that I heard on the news while I was waiting on your show.
Yeah.
That the IDF has accidentally killed some hostages.
Three hostages.
The IDF reported today that they accidentally killed three hostages during their operations.
That is correct.
Thank you, Betsy.
Well, that is very sad, and I'm sorry it happened, but the IDF has been doing such a great job that I do want them to take this to heart and, you know, get depressed about it.
I know it's hard on them, but I want to encourage them, because what they're doing is trying to fight evil, and sometimes innocent people get in the way.
So, I just wanted to give them a message of encouragement, and to tell you that you are my favorite radio host.
And let me give you a compliment.
You are up there with Rush Limbaugh, who is my all-time favorite, and I cannot give you a better compliment because I absolutely adore your show.
Well, you cannot give me a better compliment.
You know what I'm going to do now?
I'm going to perform Public Corruption on air.
We are going to do a quid pro quo.
For that amazing compliment that I'm not worthy of, you will receive all three of my books.
Will you stay on the line, Betsy?
Oh yes sir!
Yes sir!
Thank you so much!
We have just committed quid pro quo on radio.
For that amazing compliment you will receive all three of my books signed to Betsy because she just made my day.
I'm right up there with her favorite, the best ever, the greatest ever, of course Rush Limbaugh.
The books, if you want a copy, are Defeating Jihad, The War for America's Soul, and Why We Fight, all available at sebgorkastore.com.
And she's right on the IDF.
Tragic news, but they need to keep on fighting.
And I owe an apology to a caller a couple of weeks ago who said they should flood the tunnels with water.
And I said, it's hard to do that without the requisite granularity of intelligence to know exactly where the bad guys are.
They're doing it.
They're flooding the towns with seawater.
So congratulations to that caller!
I'm Sebastian Gawker.

How insane are they?
Do you know the beast?
The massive limousine, the bulletproof, rocketproof limousine the president rides in?
They're seriously thinking about making it electric.
Here's Corinne Jean-Pierre at the podium in the White House, cut 13.
I'm wondering if the president is thinking about making the beast electric.
So that's certainly a question for GSA and Secret Service, obviously.
But we are committed to boosting public and private access to electric vehicles.
And today's announcement would save taxpayer dollars and help tackle the climate crisis.
But as it relates to the beast, that's something for GSA and Secret Service to speak to.
So the members would take the train?
Again, I would refer you to GSA and also the Secret Service as it relates to the beast and any other questions.
Yeah, we're gonna leave that to the Secret Service and the GSA Government Contracting Office and Electric.
Do they know how heavy the beast is?
Utter sheer insanity.
We've got 90 seconds left.
Our guest has arrived.
Get him in the studio!
Is he what?
No, just is he wired up?
We've got One minute, 40 seconds.
We've got one and a half minutes.
I need to ask the buddy, Leon Spears, who taught me how to shoot a handgun and to get authorized in DC to carry one.
We've got a minute left.
DC took its toll on you, my friend.
You've got 60 seconds.
Yes.
We've had 800 carjackings in the city this year.
Yes.
What is your advice to everybody who lives in the city right now?
Pack a gun, Gorka.
Get authorized, pack a gun.
Get authorized, pack a gun.
It's ridiculous.
And Mayor Bowser has said she's not trying to arrest her way out of this.
Well, they'll give you tags, like iPhone tags, to put in your car if it gets hijacked, right?
Yeah, it's sad.
It's a real state of affairs that business owners don't even like.
They're packing up and leaving the city.
There was that viral video today of that jewelry store owner who pulled a gun out.
He had like eight people raid his store.
Yep.
Alright, we're going to book you an hour early.
We're going to see what the traffic does to you.
Can you come in for a full hour next week to talk about DCConcealedCarry.com?
Oh, absolutely.
That's the nature of DC.
Who knows, maybe it was a carjacker that, you know, fouled up the traffic today.
Get a gun!
Get a permit!

Next up, Making Movies Great Again, the greatest Christmas movie.
Maybe one of the best movies ever.
Stay with us here on America First.
it.
you you
Impressive.
Most impressive.
See things you people wouldn't believe.
Let's go see him together.
Let's go see him together.
I owe everything to George Bailey.
Welcome, dear father.
Joseph, Jesus, and Mary.
Help my friend, Mr. Bailey.
Help my son, George, tonight.
He never thinks about himself, God.
That's why he's in trouble.
George is a good guy.
Give him a break, God.
I love him, dear Lord.
Watch over him tonight.
Please, God.
Something's the matter with Daddy.
Please bring Daddy Bear.
Please bring Daddy Bear.
Hello, Joseph.
Trouble?
Looks like we'll have to send someone down.
A lot of people asking for help for a man named George Bailey.
George Bailey?
Yes, tonight's his crucial night, you're right.
We'll have to send someone down immediately.
And they do!
They signed down Clarence Angel Second Class to try and save George Bailey.
I'm kind of worried about this review.
Why?
Don't, don't, don't, don't, don't worry.
Chris likes it as well as I do.
But I really can't watch this movie and I don't think I can review this movie without Maybe tearing up because this movie always makes me cry.
Chris Coles, let's make movies great again with perhaps one of the greatest movies in the American pantheon.
It's A Wonderful Life.
Merry Christmas.
Merry Christmas!
It is A Wonderful Life and it's a wonderful film.
You know why this movie is emotional?
It's because it is a sincere movie and it's done really, really well.
And I think sincerity is something that we have almost lost in American culture.
We're so sarcastic.
Yeah.
You know, we joke around so much and we kind of take everything for granted.
When I was growing up, there was this I don't care attitude.
If you cared about things, you weren't cool.
And I broke away from that at one point, and I said, you know what?
No, I care about stuff.
And now this is what I do for a job.
I review movies to try to make movies great again.
I talk about the culture in my Mr. Reagan show, and I try to talk about how we need to bring back American values and stuff, because caring about stuff shouldn't be uncool.
Uh, but that tends to be true, uh, in American life and American culture at schools and, uh, you know, with young people throughout the country and throughout the world.
Maybe that's always been true, but I think it's particularly true today and I think it's a terrible thing.
Uh, and you see a movie like this and you see people who You know, care about things, care about each other, trying to do the right thing, and it seems genuine.
It doesn't come across as phony.
It doesn't come across as Hollywood.
It actually comes across as sincere, and you think, you know what?
That's really how people should be.
Yeah, I think you hit it right out of the park.
This is a movie about people caring for each other.
First, it's George Bailey, this young man who wants to get out of this little town.
He wants to travel.
He wants to go to college.
And he can't.
And he takes over his father's savings and loan after he has a heart attack.
And what does he spend the next 10, 20, 30 years doing?
Helping everyone in the town of Bedford Falls.
And then something befalls him and he loses it.
He crumbles.
And he considers whether he would be better off Or whether the world would be better off without him and he contemplates suicide.
At which point Clarence's odd body comes in to teach him a lesson and show him the world as it would be if he had never existed.
And it's the care of the people for him That is demonstrated.
Shockingly, I don't know about you, Chris, but when I watched this again last night, and this is another one of the films I have on my iPhone at all times.
The revelation, I was shocked because I'm constantly watching the clock counter, you know, finding the time marks for Eric to get the clips.
The reversal of fortune.
Bedford Falls as Pottersville is less than 30 minutes of the movie.
We've got a two-hour movie and the shocking stuff when we see Bailey collapsing Jimmy Stewart.
It's about 25 minutes, Chris.
It's stunning!
Yeah, it's interesting because I think that's the stuff we remember the most from the film.
Yes!
Because it's the most profound stuff.
It's the most interesting stuff.
It's really the part of the film that is almost like the hook of the film.
Like, if you're going to pitch this film to a studio, you know, it's not been made, you've written the concept out, you want to write the script, you go pitch to the studio, this is what we want to do.
That's the stuff you tell!
Yeah.
You don't tell about this guy's back story and about his life.
But yeah, most of the film, a huge George Bailey's life and, you know, how he grew up, and it's the backstory for the action to take place a little bit later in the movie.
What's great, though, is that you wouldn't think that just taking this guy's life, a pretty ordinary guy, and showing the highlight reel of his life would be interesting.
But what's really great about this film is that George Bailey is sort of like every typical American.
Every typical American.
You go out around the country, And unless it's one of these guys who's just stuck in his room playing video games his whole life, which does happen these days, but if it's a normal person who goes out, you know, maybe a little bit less common today, but certainly a little bit more common back then, you go out and you find somebody, just an average person, and you go, let's look at the highlight reel of your life.
They're going to have a number of really Fascinating, interesting things that have happened to them throughout their life.
And if you look at this film, that's what happens to him.
And you really don't get bored, which is amazing when you think about it, because it's kind of, I don't know, it's not particularly exciting stuff that happens.
He meets a girl, he goes to a dance and the floor opens up and they fall into a swimming pool.
the way it's shot, the way it's written, the way it's performed...
Just for all of you who are watching this, Eric decided to mess with my mind after 53 years
and get some colorized clips of the movie.
So we are showing the high school dance, prom dance, where Alfalfa from the gang is jealous of Jimmy Stewart
and opens the floor up from the gym that reveals the swimming pool.
Which, by the way, for all the critics who are long gone who said, that's stupid, that's Hollywood, that's special effects, that is a real school in Hollywood, okay?
That still has the swimming pool and the electric floor that can be opened up.
So yes, this is just a story.
The only big characters in the movie, Chris, are the hero brother, right?
The fighter pilot brother, then the businessman friend of Jimmy Stewart's who goes off and creates a plastics empire, and then the evil Mr. Potter.
Jimmy Stewart, he's not a big character.
He never did anything big and flashy, and that's why he has become the everyman And the quintessential American.
Let's... Oh, have we shown the floor open up yet?
This is... I can't sit in color.
It's so freaky to see this in color.
Alfalfa... It is weird, isn't it?
I've never watched it in color.
Isn't it weird?
Isn't it weird?
I've never watched it in color, no.
I'm gonna have to have words with Eric.
How much time do we... Let's keep playing it.
Let's keep playing it.
And as you said, it never gets old.
I don't know how many times I've seen this because they messed up the copyright.
They didn't protect the copyright of the movie, which meant by the 1970s it was public domain.
Oh, I didn't realize that.
Yeah, anyone could show it.
So every TV channel in America, every local network showed it again and again and again.
So every American has seen this.
I've seen this, I don't know, a hundred times already, but the people are so well played.
The humor, Eric made this point that the jokes still hold up.
You know, the cop, the cabbie driver, Bert and Ernie, it works all the time.
All right, I'm just gonna let this play out.
Here we go, here we go, the floor's opening up.
And at one point, Jimmy and Mary, played by Donna Reed, they just decide to jump in the swimming pool.
We are making movies great again.

Donna Reed was not a good swimmer.
I think they actually used a double for her there because she was afraid about jumping in.

Hey, that's pretty good.
What'd you wish, Mary?
Buffalo girls, can't you come out tonight?
Can't you come out tonight?
Can't you come out tonight?
Buffalo girls, can't you come out tonight?
Dance by the light of the moon.
What'd you wish when you threw that rock?
Oh, no.
Come on, tell me.
If I told you, it might not come through.
What is it you want, Barry?
What do you want?
You want the moon?
Just say the word and I'll throw a lasso around it and pull it down.
The beauty of cinema when it's done right is...
The effective suspension of disbelief.
Chris, at any point was there anything that took you out of this film?
Because you see that they're supposed to be in high school, right?
They're supposed to be in their teens and Jimmy Stewart is actually in his late 30s.
He's just come back from serving in World War II.
Donna Reed is in her late 20s, but they sell it!
They sell it, this goofy kid, he's in love with this girl, he's trying to serenade her with this dumb song, he manages to force her to run away and lose her bathrobe, and then they age over time, and then when he comes back to the horrific Pottersville, and she's a spinster, alone, working in the library.
I don't know about you, Chris, but when actors know how to sell it, man, they know how to sell it.
No, you're absolutely right.
It didn't really matter that you didn't believe that he was, you know, just out of high school or whatever.
I remember when I was a little kid and I was watching this, that was actually a little confusing to me.
I thought, I thought these guys are too old to be, you know, just out of high school or whatever it was.
But it didn't matter because what you were watching is for was the story and the way that they perform these roles.
It really works.
It does sell it.
like you said, and the story's just so fun.
Like the things that are, you know, I remember this scene.
I remember when she loses her bathrobe and she's stuck in this bush.
Plant.
Yeah, yeah.
This bush, just like, like hiding from everybody because she's clearly naked in the bush,
which at the time, this would have been a big deal, right?
I mean, people were, you know, had much, I mean, now you've got like OnlyFans and Hookup Culture and Tinder and like, I don't think people really understand the morality of this era.
And, you know, historically, we were a very moral country.
Europe was a very moral region of the world.
You know, we were, we were very sort of buttoned up.
And so something like that was so much fun, and you know, in some ways, losing that level of morality has put us in a position where, you know, the world is a lot less entertaining.
Yes.
Because nothing is really shocking anymore.
Yes.
And back then, that little moment probably was a little bit scandalous, even though this really was, I think, probably at the time even, a pretty family-friendly film.
But that's just a funny moment, and it's a great moment.
And there's so many moments like that throughout the film.
They're not necessarily action moments.
They're not necessarily highly dramatic.
It's not necessarily high drama.
It's not, you know, and you would think that an angel coming down from heaven And interacting with this guy and taking him, you know, taking his life away from the village so that he can see what his life, you know, what the world would be like without him.
You'd think that that would destroy suspension of disbelief, but it really doesn't.
It doesn't.
I mean, everything's performed so well, you believe everything that you're seeing on the screen.
Even though it's stylized in this way from the era that we're not familiar with today, you still buy it.
And what we're showing now, to talk of the morals of the era, this scene, when they're first about to kiss, Jimmy Stewart didn't want to kiss her because he was he was just uncomfortable so the director Frank Capra forced them to share the same phone to listen into the same conversation so their heads would have to get closer and closer to I mean think of it I don't know about you but the tension here
The tension, because he's angry, he's jealous, he wants to get out of this little hick town.
She loves him, and he's being tempted by this rich buddy on the end of the phone line, offering him a job in his plastics empire.
And there's this moment, this crescendo of emotion, where he gets angry at Bedford Falls, and what does it transmogrify into?
This violent, I mean, lovemaking in the sense of 1946 lovemaking, where he grabs her and he just kisses her.
This, this is acting, this is writing, and by the way, it's also directing.
Frank Capra came up with the one man vision and he said, when you make a movie, it's not the writer, It's not the producers.
It's not even the actors.
There is one vision and it is the director's vision and just this scene, Chris.
Wow.
That's cinema.
Yeah.
And you know what?
Even though this is an era, which is very alien to us at this point.
Yeah.
Uh, this is a very real scene.
I mean, this is the kind of stuff that still happens to people in real life today.
People don't necessarily want to fall in love with this person, but that's the person they fall in love with.
You know, they don't necessarily want to be stuck here or stuck there, you know, or doing this or doing that, but that's just where their life is going and they're frustrated and they can't fight it always.
And it ends up into this, you know, I don't know, like...
Crescendo of emotion as you said it and it works and it works so so well in this I didn't really realize that that he didn't want to kiss her and so he you know they sort of just had him get it works so well for this scene and it really it really shows that it doesn't matter where Where you are in the world doesn't really matter what time you are in history.
Human beings really are human beings.
It's amazing to me that you can watch this film today and you can still recognize the same human emotions, the same human instincts, the same frustrations back then as we have today.
And it is very, very real.
It's one of the most real moments in cinema I've ever seen in any film, which I think says volumes.
And at the same time, it's balanced.
With humor this scene it's straight out of vaudeville 320 sycamore street this dilapidated building with no roof that they make into the the bridal suite or what have you i mean just the comedy of the water coming off the hat as a tip for his buddy as he's walking into the building And then over time, the new wife, Donna Reed Mary, I mean, oh my gosh, it breaks my heart just to see this scene of making the dinner and then afterwards turning into this beautiful home and wow.
Okay, the comedy works, the pathos works.
The emotion works, the love interest works, we're talking It's a Wonderful Life, Frank Capra's favorite film and the one that he is most proud of which had a very strange birth.
We will explain the genesis of It's a Wonderful Life next here on Making Movies Great Again with my co-host Chris Coles He is the alpha critic on YouTube.

SebastianGawker.substack.com.
All right.
Seminal point in the movie.
They talk about the...
Great Spanish flu epidemic, World War I is mentioned with the druggist's son, then we have the run on the banks, the collapse of the economy, and of course World War II.
How does the collapse of the economy affect George Bailey?
His customers want their money and he convinces them, hey guys, don't get 50 cents on a dollar from that evil Potter guy.
How much money do you really need?
Let's play the seminal bank speech.
We can get through this thing, all right?
We've got to stick together, though.
We've got to have faith in each other.
But my husband hasn't worked in over a year, and I need money!
How am I going to live until the bank opens?
I got Dr. Booster paid.
I need cash.
I can't keep my kids on faith!
How much do you need?
Hey!
I got $2,000.
Here's $2,000.
This'll tide us over until the bank reopens.
All right, Tom, how much do you need?
$242.
No, Tom, just enough to tide you over until the bank reopens.
I'll take $242.
There you are.
much you need two hundred and forty two dollars Tom just enough to tide you over
to the bank I'll take two hundred and forty two dollars.
There you are. That'll close my account. Your account's still here.
That's a loan.
Okay.
All right, Ed.
Well, I got $300 here, George.
All right, now, Ed, what'll it take until the bank opens?
What do you need?
Well, I suppose $20?
$20.
Now you're talking.
Thanks, Ed.
That's fine.
All right, now, Miss Thompson, how much do you want?
But it's your own money, George.
You don't mind about that.
How much do you want now?
I can get along with $20, all right?
$20.
Fine.
And I'll sign the paper.
You don't have to sign anything.
I know you.
You pay when you can.
That's okay.
All right, Miss Davis.
Could I have $17.50?
Sure.
Unless you're a hard worker, you can have it. You got $0.50, Sam.
The original line in the script for the costume was $17.
She improvised $17.50.
Surprised Jimmy Stewart, and that's why he gave her a big kiss on the forehead, because it was just such a, oh my gosh, $17.50.
Wonderful scene.
Chris, do you know the back story to where the whole idea for It's a Wonderful Life came from?
I don't.
All right, so it's so unique.
The author wrote the story and wanted to publish it as a book.
No publisher wanted to touch it, so he printed a little booklet and included it in the Christmas card for all of his friends.
So he basically distributed the story, originally it was called The Greatest Gift, and then eventually a studio bought it, refused to develop it, didn't develop it, and along comes RKO, they consider it, and finally Capra creates Liberty Films, his own director's consortium, and they decide to make it.
So how about that as a backstory for one of the greatest movies in America?
Distributed For free in Christmas cards.
That's amazing.
And you know what?
It just kind of goes to show even back then, even back then, they didn't necessarily like things that were too saccharine.
They didn't necessarily like things that were too sweet, that had Too good of an ending, you know?
They still had this idea.
I think throughout time we've had this idea, like, it's not cool to care.
It's not cool to have a happy ending, to have, to show human kindness.
It's much more cool to show somebody, you know, get, you know, killing all the bad guys and stuff, which is cool sometimes.
Like, I like a good action film, but stuff like this is necessary.
And you know that a period in human history is good When the media comes out and reflects the human desire to see goodness and love and hope in products like these.
Frank Capra was basically a genius.
He was one of the greatest American filmmakers.
If you've not seen Capra films, I highly recommend them.
It's a Wonderful Life is, of course, probably his best work.
But he's also got Mr. Smith Goes to Washington, which, you know, most people know and love.
It happened one night, which is probably my favorite ever romantic comedy.
One of my favorite films of all time.
And it kind of created that genre of romantic comedy.
A lot of romantic comedies just kind of copy the formula that was set up by It Happened One Night.
You can't take it with you.
Mr. Deeds Goes to Town, Arsenic and Old Lakes, which is probably the only camper film I don't really love.
Lost Horizon, Meet John Doe.
These are all fantastic films, really classics.
And people sometimes I think they just need to go back and watch some of these things because, you know, it's it gives you a window into another part of America, into another time, into the time of our grandparents and our great grandparents.
And they really are good stories and great productions.
And they're human.
The thing about Capra is these are all human stories.
I love this line that today it's not cool to care.
These are from an age where the culture said it is okay to care.
And don't forget, I want to get a little bit wonkish here, what did Alexis de Tocqueville say about the many unique aspects of America?
The best book ever written about America, of course, written by a foreigner.
Why in the world do you ever marry a guy like me?
built on volunteerism. It's not federal government that matters, it is local community that is
America and it's movies like It's a Wonderful Life that demonstrate that so very, very clearly.
We are talking making movies great again with my buddy Chris Coles. I'm Sebastian Gawker
coming to you from the reliefactor.com studios.
Why in the world did you ever marry a guy like me?
What took you from being an old mate?
I married Sam way and right and anybody else in town.
I didn't want to marry anybody else in town.
out.
I want my baby to look like you.
I didn't even have a honeymoon.
I promised you... You what?
My baby.
You're... Mary, you on the nest?
George Bailey Lasso Stork.
Lasso Stork?
What are you...
What is it, a boy or a girl?
Is it a boy or a girl?
Uh-huh, yeah.
I want a father for my baby.
What did you just say for my baby?
Oh my gosh, Jimmy Stewart, the delivery of Donald Reed.
Absolutely superb.
The first version of the script, there's so much information, background information of this movie.
Chris, there was no Angel scene and changing, going back without George Bailey.
The original script was like Superman versus Bizarro Superman.
There was a good George Bailey and an evil George Bailey and eventually they duke it out and at the end of the movie the good Jimmy Stewart kills the bad Jimmy Stewart.
There wasn't even a Mr. Potter.
I mean this classic Lionel Barrymore character wasn't even in the original script.
I think that's That would have been a very different film.
No, I'm glad they changed it.
You know, Donna Reed is so charming in this movie.
Honestly, I feel like they could have potentially replaced Jimmy Stewart with another actor.
It probably wouldn't have been as good, but it would have been okay.
I'm not sure they could have replaced Donna Reed with many other actresses.
She is so charming, and she's so sweet, and she's exactly the kind of person that you think this kind of character needs in his life to make his life what it is, what it becomes.
I mean, when she fixes up that old house, It's just the most adorable thing that you've ever seen.
She uses her own money, her own honeymoon money, in order to save the savings and loan and to help out the people of the town.
She's such a good character, such a sweet character, such a charming character.
You really fall in love with her when you're watching the film.
And this film really would not be the same without her.
They really picked the right actress to play this character.
I just sent some pictures to Eric.
He's going to load them and tell me when they're ready because I want to talk a little bit more about Donald Reed.
However, there was another piece of casting.
It didn't eventually go to him.
This quintessence, this Scrooge-like character of Mr. Potter, one of the original choices was Vincent Price.
Now that would have been interesting, wouldn't it?
Yeah, that would have added a whole new dimension.
You know, let me just... I don't want to, like, beat a dead horse here, but let me just talk just a little bit about... I'll throw in a little bit of politics here.
Yeah.
I'm writing this script for my show, Mr. Reagan, my Mr. Reagan show, about...
Personal happiness and, you know, how people vote the way that they do.
And I've seen a pattern recently, which is that if you're healthy, if you're a healthy person, if you're financially successful, if, you know, you have a relatively happy life, if you're physically fit, if you're, you know, if things are going well for you, if you have sanity, if you have mental clarity.
If you're not an addict, if you're not an alcoholic, Yeah, you tend to vote Republican.
That tends to be how it is.
If you have some kind of mental illness, you suffer in some way from mental illness, you're stuck with very bad health, maybe you've neglected your health, you're overweight, something like this, these kinds of people, they tend to lean a little bit more left because they like to depend on the government.
They don't want to have to take responsibility for their life necessarily.
So, you know, I think that it's in the Democrats' best interest to actually promote, you know, an unhealthy lifestyle.
That's why they say obesity is healthy.
Well, no, it isn't.
But to a Democrat, if you're, you know, if you're relying on the government for health care or, you know, you have mental illness and you, you know, the Democrats act like mommy and the Republicans act like daddy.
They say be independent.
Be independent.
And the Democrats say, no, no, no, rely on us, rely on the big bloated government.
And so I think it's up to every strong American, not just for yourself to be happy, not just for yourself to be healthy, to have a good relationship with your family, But to promote that kind of happiness with your friends and family, I think it's up to us to have that optimism, to have that positivity, to be a happy person.
I think it's the responsibility of every American to be a happy person.
I love that.
Are you making a A YouTube video with that message?
I'm sorry, it sounds weird, but I've never heard it explained so simply, but it's hard to argue against if you are stable, if you are sound, if you have healthy relationships, if you're moderately healthy, you look after yourself, if you're not addicted to anything.
Why would you be a leftist and why would you want the state to look after you, Chris?
You've got to make that film.
You've got to make that film.
I am.
It's called Democrats Want You to be Sick, Unhappy, and Mentally Ill.
That's the name of the project I'm doing.
All right, I can't wait.
OK, so I want to talk a little bit about Donna Reed, because just like you, she's so engrossing.
I mean, she's so vulnerable and feminine.
But then there's the moment when he comes back, the $8,000 has gone missing, the bank auditor is going to shut them down and arrest him.
And he comes back screaming at the kids, screaming at Zuzu, screaming.
And she takes control.
He leaves to get drunk.
And she just picks up the phone, rings up Uncle Billy and says to the kids, pray for your father.
There's this incredible just snap from the sweet feminine lady into this.
Yeah.
You know what?
My man is in trouble and we need to help him.
It's just a stunning moment.
Donna Reed is so sweet in this movie.
We have a color photograph, a promotional photograph from It's a Wonderful Life of the
lovely couple you see there.
And then I'd like to show you some other photographs of another lady, so just go through them.
That lady, that lady, next one, and one more.
Donna Reed was a pinup before this movie.
Yeah, wow.
She was famous as a pin-up for the troops.
After she died, her family found tens of thousands of letters in her home that were written to her by GIs during World War II.
Amazing.
Amazing.
That's great.
That's cool.
Yeah, yeah.
Beautiful woman.
Absolutely beautiful.
Oh my gosh.
Stunning, stunning, stunning.
Another reason to watch It's a Wonderful Life, which we're celebrating here on Making Movies Great Again.
I'm coming to you from the reliefactor.com studios.
If you'd point me in the right direction, would you do that, George?
Right down.
Old building, little old pal, huh?
No, you just turn this way, and then right straight down there.
Oh, that way, huh?
My wild Irish road I'm all right!
I'm all right!
A little bit of making of there.
That sound of the massive crashing and clang, that was not part of the script.
That was a stagehand, a grip, who knocked over a part of the set and Billy, the actor, said, I'm okay, I'm okay.
Just kind of ad-libbed and then you saw that little grin of Jimmy Stewart saying, yeah, You're a pretty good actor.
Lots of stuff to talk about with this movie.
We are talking, of course, It's a Wonderful Life.
Built, the set was built on the RKO lot in California.
Four acres, that's what the town, It was one of the biggest sets in history with four acres, 75 buildings, 24 oak trees were bought in and they received an Academy, a special recognition for the snow effects.
Until this movie, snow was unroasted, unbaked cornflakes individually painted white.
They couldn't use it here because George Bailey was walking around so much.
The crunching on the snowflakes meant they couldn't record the sound.
So, with the addition of 3,000 tons of shaved ice, they actually made a new type of quote-unquote fake snow.
What else do we need to know about it?
Shockingly, Chris, This movie received no Oscars.
At the time, it was a flop.
It actually cost Capra half a million dollars.
He didn't recoup the costs.
It was a very, very cold winter.
People didn't go to the movie theaters, it was so cold.
And at the time, it wasn't The saccharine nature.
It was the depressing nature.
The concept of a man wanting to commit suicide.
The idea of, you know, the rough-and-tumble martini bar with homeless people like the former druggist being kicked out.
This film, Chris, was considered to be too dark and depressing when it came out in 1946.
You know, I can understand that.
There is this problem sometimes With storytelling with movies.
It's a strange business when you think about it, because it's an art, but it's also a business.
You got to you got to be able to figure out how to pitch this idea in order to get the film produced.
And then you've got to figure out how to market the film once it's done to the American public.
And those things aren't always You know, compatible with the value of the actual product, right?
So, like, if you're a filmmaker or you're a writer and you want to pitch a film to Hollywood, you may not be that good at pitching.
And if you're not good at that, if you're not that good at pitching, you may never get your film made.
And the same thing is true once the film is made, which is kind of shocking to think about this because, you know, in the film industry, you think, you know, people, this is their job, right?
They're experts, of course, are going to be able to sell you anything.
You know, they could sell snow to an Eskimo.
Yeah, every once in a while, they mess up.
And it sounds like that's what happened here, where they didn't exactly know how to sell this movie.
It's a great movie, but how do you sell this to the public?
It's a little bit difficult.
They were probably trying not to give everything away because there's a couple of twists and turns in this film, and they didn't strike that balance correctly.
They didn't give enough away, maybe.
And people didn't really understand what they were going to be getting.
Because, yeah, a lot of this film, it seems like it is going in a pretty nasty direction.
Yeah.
And especially, in fact, I would say the crux of the film, once you get to the bit where he's running around and nobody knows who he is, it does get pretty dark there for a moment.
Which is, I think, why it's such a tearjerker.
At the end of this movie, this is such an important moment in cinema.
It's his darkest hour, everything's terrible.
This angel, Clarence, does save him from suicide, but he still has to go home knowing that he's lost all of this money.
And we say $8,000, but back then it would have been, who knows, hundreds of thousands, maybe even millions of dollars.
I don't know how much it would have been worth back then, but it was an absurd amount of money.
Hundreds of thousands of dollars, yeah.
Hundreds of thousands, for sure.
And so he goes back to his home and he's got to deal with his family.
It's a very sad moment.
But he's got to finally face the music.
He's going to finally just stand up and deal with it.
And the townspeople just start rolling in and just giving him little bits, whatever they have of money to save him and to save the, you know, his business and his livelihood and their family.
And it's just such a, it's a touching moment.
You know, people often cry because of tragedy, but people also cry because they see the goodness in humanity.
And that's why people cry at this movie.
It's not because it's a sad movie.
It's because it's such a happy movie.
Well, you just read my mind.
We had a little Vulcan mind meld, as usual.
I always cry when I watch this movie.
Last night, it was tough, tough, tough.
And on crying, when Jimmy Stewart is in the Martini's bar, And he's crying.
That wasn't scripted.
He clearly had PTSD.
This was the first film he made after serving in World War II.
And the script and the idea of this man contemplating suicide, losing his kid brother, that's real tears when he's sitting at the bar and he breaks down.
Couple of final thoughts from me and then I'll hand it over to you and then I'll get to pick a Christmas movie.
Eric said something yesterday when he was prepping the clips.
Eric, how many films have we reviewed now?
Like 30 maybe?
I don't know.
I think around 40, maybe more.
40 movies.
He used a word that he hasn't used for any other movie so far, not that I recall.
He said beautiful.
And this is a beautiful piece of work.
It is art.
That scene we just showed, he realizes he's alive.
He doesn't know how he's going to pay back the bank auditor.
He runs up the stairs.
The banister knob comes off in his hand, this old tired house, this thing that irritated
him before, and he looks at this broken banister knob and he smiles.
He smiles, yes I'm home, it's real, I don't care if it's broken, and he gently pushes
it back.
He embraces his children, he kisses his children, he kisses his wife Mary, and then, unbeknownst
to him, the whole town of Bedford Falls walks into his living room, depositing cash, coins,
His friend calls from Europe, the successful businessman.
I heard you need some money!
Well, I'll guarantee $25,000!
All the problems are solved.
We will end the episode on the last 20 seconds of the movie.
But one thing that stuns me with this film, Chris, and I'm sure you'll agree, it's two hours long.
The pacing is immaculate.
There are films that come out today... This cost $3 million to make.
There are films that come out today that cost $300 million that have saggy pacing, boring parts where you go onto your phone, you go out, you make popcorn, you go to the toilet.
The pacing, not just the writing, the directing, the acting, there's no flab on this movie, Chris, and it was made in 1946.
I know.
I know.
Well, Capra was a genius.
I mean, truly a genius.
And this just I mean, everything came together.
Sometimes that just happens.
I mean, I say it time and time again on the on the show.
But if, you know, everything is at a certain level of quality, the film will be a classic.
And this is exactly what's happened here.
Every aspect of it was was basically perfect.
And if you think you know this film, if you think you've seen it many, many times, you know, give yourself a little bit of a treat and sit down and actually watch it again all the way through.
And I think put your phone down, put your phone down and watch the movie, right?
Yeah.
And look, you know, It's what I was saying before.
I think this is what Capra's trying to say.
I think at the end of the film, they say something like, no man is poor who has friends.
Yes!
Right?
If you have many friends, you are a rich man.
That's one of the messages of the film.
Another message is, don't let the cute girl from town get you, you know, catch you and get you stuck there.
No, no, that's not what the message of the film.
No, but it's a beautiful film.
You know, it's sort of like a Christmas carol in a way.
Where it's you know, it's always what do they say?
It's always darkest before the dawn.
You know, that's another great message.
So many great messages in this movie.
It's an uplifting message.
And for me, I would just like to say people should be happier.
People should be more optimistic.
You know, it is your duty not only to be a happy person and an optimistic person, a hopeful person, but to make your family that way, too.
you know as fathers uh... you know some of the people listening are probably
Yeah.
mothers as well uh... you've got to make your family a happy family i think
that's the duty of every american
chris you you always bring it god bless you chris
uh...
for me this movie listening to you that it came to me this movie is a parable
It's like listening to one of Jesus's parables.
This movie is a two-hour celluloid parable about what matters in life.
And just to have a movie that begins with the audio of various people praying for one Unfamous, non-hero character, and then to have it close the way it does.
We'll close with the last few seconds in a moment, but thank you Chris for choosing this movie.
Next up, it will still be Christmas, because if you're a good Christian, Christmas lasts until Twelfth Night.
So I get to pick a movie, and I'm going to pick one of my favorites from two Legends, Bing Crosby and Danny Kaye.
I'm gonna cry again.
It is White Christmas, Chris.
So we're going to review that.
If you're not familiar with it, you should be.
Watch it before we meet next.
In the meantime, follow Chris on YouTube, The Alpha Critic, and the Mr. Reagan YouTube channels, as well as on Twitter at MrReaganUSA.
And let's Let's close with an observation from that little ginger snap, Zuzu.
What's that?
That's a Christmas present from a very dear friend of mine.
Look, Daddy!
Teacher says every time a bell rings, an angel gets his wings!
