Time Text
So, I'm going to go ahead and get started.
I'm going to go ahead and get started.
Well, one of the things you are doing is an experimental program to provide debit cards.
cash on the card.
This has created an enormous controversy in the city among some taxpayers who say, why are we paying and giving out this money to these migrants?
And isn't this only going to encourage more migrants to come to New York?
And the reason it's created such controversy is because how it has been reported and distorted.
Here's what we're doing.
We are required to feed migrants and asylum seekers, as well as everyone else in our homeless system.
About 40,000 are in the homeless system that are not migrant and asylum seekers.
We're required to feed them.
Wow, is he really that stupid?
He's equating illegal immigrants with homeless people?
That's the Democrat mayor of New York.
The same gentleman who not too long ago said this about the tidal wave of immigrants, illegals coming into America under the Biden regime.
Eric Adams, like a month or two ago, cut 12.
This issue?
We'll destroy New York City.
Destroy New York City.
We're getting 10,000 migrants a month.
But now you're giving them debit cards?
Paid for by who?
Did you pay for the debit cards?
$10,000 cash equivalent to every illegal?
And why are you equating them with homeless people?
These are people who came here on the invitation of Joe Biden.
They had homes where they came from.
There's no other way that they could have paid between $5,000 and $15,000 to the coyotes.
Homeless people don't have $15,000 sitting in their back pocket, Eric Adams.
Oh, but you've got another answer, don't you?
We'll just all give them jobs.
Cut seven.
The most important thing I believe we could do during this crisis is allow people to work.
Everyone who passed through the Statue of Liberty came here, and even if it was a menial job, it gave them the dignity and respect that everyone here deserves.
Think about it for a moment.
Do you know we don't even hear about the Ukrainian citizens that arrived here?
We have a large Ukrainian population after the war that's here in New York City.
You don't hear about them.
You know why?
They have the authorization to work.
Oh, so we'll just give them jobs?
And I'm curious, how does a Ukrainian come to America?
Do they have a border with us?
Are they in the same landmass?
Are they in the same continent as America?
That's interesting.
So who pays for them to get to our hemisphere?
How do they cross the border?
Who assists them?
Wouldn't that be a question to answer?
But it's okay, because we've worked it out.
The Democrats finally realize that there's a crisis that they caused.
Yesterday, Joe Biden woke up, cut one.
It's time to act.
It's long past time to act.
I just received a briefing from the border patrol at the border.
As well as immigration and enforcement, asylum officers, and they're all doing incredible work under really tough conditions, really tough conditions.
They told me what they what you already know, and we already know.
They desperately need more resources.
Say it again.
They desperately need more resources.
You need more agents, more officers, more judges, more equipment in order to secure our border.
Folks, it's time for us to move on this.
We can't wait any longer.
He just did it again.
Jeff, did you catch what he did there?
He read the bit in parentheses.
Say it again.
Did you catch that?
Yeah, but at least he delivered it well.
I mean, that's a success for him.
He got the line out, though.
He read the thing you're not supposed to say.
The instructions on the teleprompter.
Say it again.
He actually said it out loud.
He got a grade with a curve.
That was good for Biden.
For 35 seconds with no screw-ups, except for a little one you can't tell, that wasn't bad for him.
Play it again so people hear him read what's in the parentheses.
And if you're watching us on Roku, Five Stick, Rumble, the app, look at the faces of the poor, poor Customs and Border Protection officers behind it.
Could you imagine You've been neutered, you've been kicked in the testicles for three years, not allowed to do your job, and then you're ordered to stand behind this scumbag who's a literal accomplice of the cartels.
Play the cut again, and note when he reads the bit in the parentheses, it's hilarious.
It's time to act, it's long past time to act.
I just received a briefing from the border patrol at the border, as well as immigration and enforcement, asylum officers, And they're all doing incredible work under really tough conditions.
Really tough conditions.
They told me what you already know and we already know.
They desperately need more resources.
I'll say it again, they desperately need more resources.
They need more agents, more officers, more judges, more equipment in order to secure our border.
Folks, it's time for us to move on this.
We can't wait any longer.
Say that line again.
Pause.
Take a break.
Repeat.
Unbelievable.
Well, at the same time, somebody who actually secured the border and cares for America because his platform is America First, he had this to say yesterday.
Cut three.
President Trump.
But this is a Joe Biden invasion.
This is a Biden invasion over the past three years.
I call him Crooked Joe because he's crooked.
He's a terrible president, the worst president our country's ever had.
Probably the most incompetent president we've ever had.
But it's allowing thousands and thousands of people to come in from China, Iran, Yemen, the Congo, Syria, and a lot of other nations.
Many nations are not very friendly to us.
He's transported The entire columns of fighting-aged men, and they're all at a certain age, and you look at them and say, they look like warriors to me.
Something's going on that's bad.
Now the United States is being overrun by the Biden migrant crime.
It's a new form of vicious violation to our country.
It is Biden's invasion.
Because of it, a beautiful girl, Lakin Riley, is dead.
Murdered by a Venezuelan immigrant who was arrested in New York on child endangerment charges and then released by the New York prosecutors to murder her in Georgia.
Just moments ago her funeral began where people have come out in their thousands to remember her.
A woman at the beginning of her life.
A nursing student.
Somebody who had a bright future ahead of her.
Who was loved by everyone who had the joy of meeting her.
Lakin Riley.
It's now simply a memory for her loved ones, for her family, for her friends.
If we cannot wrest back this nation from those who are destroying it, do we deserve to call ourselves Americans?
If that one death Isn't enough for us to get politically engaged?
Then are we Americans?
It's not President Trump's to fix.
He is the leader, the man out front taking the slings and arrows.
It's up to us.
As Benjamin Franklin told that elderly woman, it's a Republic for as long as we can keep it.
Don't just sit there.
We've got eight months to go.
It's already March.
Are you volunteered?
Are you an election officer?
Are you running for local office?
Are you helping somebody run for local office?
Are you working a telephone bank?
Don't ask somebody else to save America.
We save it together.

Okay, so much to discuss.
Hunter Biden's deposition.
Let's talk to the man that knows more than anyone else.
He's been working this story for years now.
Our good friend, John Solomon.
John, welcome!
Happy Friday!
Happy Friday, good to be with you.
It's happy Friday unless you're Biden.
It's not a good Friday for the Biden.
Alright, so I was driving into the studio and is it true that they've released the transcript of the Biden testimony behind closed doors?
They have.
Both James Biden and Hunter Biden have been released in the last 12 hours.
There are not a big score of punches that the Republicans got, but they got a lot of admissions.
Yeah, the family got money from China.
Remember when they lied about that?
Yeah, my dad went to dinners with my business partners.
Remember when they lied about that?
Yeah, I paid Joe Biden some money out of the funds I got from China.
Remember when they denied that happened?
So they got a lot of confirmations to things that the bank records forced the Bidens to have to cop to, but they didn't break any new ground beyond that.
But that's a significant thing, because at the end of the day, what we're beginning to learn is two things.
The first is Hunter Biden, James Biden, Joe Biden, they misled the American people.
They outright lied to the American people to interfere with the 2019 and 2020 election.
The things that they would have had to admit to in 2020 if they were telling the truth may not have allowed Joe Biden to become president.
They're admitting to it four years later.
But the ultimate truth of what you're now beginning to see is that for almost the entirety of Joe Biden's vice presidency, his family, in the form of his son and his brother, spent most of their time trying to court America's two largest geopolitical adversaries, China and Russia, Vladimir Putin and President Xi's oligarchs and make money off them while Joe Biden was presiding over the policy that affected those countries.
This was a targeted, clear ploy to take our enemies and have them pay up to a dynastic political family in Washington to make money and riches.
In most cases, the Biden's never delivered anything back, but that's why it is such an intense
and ugly influence peddling scheme.
It really is now that clear.
They wanted China money and Russia money more than anything else.
Today, I developed a whole new set of 1,000 pages of documents
that we made public that showed just how much Hunter Biden That's kind of funny, given that Democrats have revived their favorite Broadway musical, Russia, Russia, Russia.
Well, we'll talk about that in the next one, because I've got this unbelievable clip from Dan Goldman, the new, oh my gosh, I can't even think of his real name.
All I can think of is Rush Limbaugh's pencil neck.
He's the new Adam Schiff, the new Adam Schiff of Congress.
The new Adam Schiff, yeah.
What is the correct response?
I mean, you've literally, with Seamus Brunner, you've written the book on this stuff.
You've been covering it for years.
What is the response to, yes, the book is Fallout, what is the response to the Democrats who say, but the GOP failed, they had them behind closed doors for hours, and we still don't see a crime!
So John, what is the crime?
The crime is influence peddling.
This was a bribery scheme.
They took countries and foreigners and oligarchs who were looking for benefits from the United States.
They made them pay money to a family.
Joe Biden assisted it by showing up at dinners and phone calls and meetings at the Naval Observatory, photo ops with officials.
He closes the deal, but it is a bribery scheme.
If you want to get anything good from the Biden family, you got to pay my son or my brother.
And for 6, 8, 10 years, the family lived off that scheme.
And in most any other case, that would be a crime.
In fact, a judge was impeached back in 2009 because he and his family did something similar.
By the way, the beneficiary wasn't the judge.
It was his family members getting the money.
But that was enough to remove a judge.
And Adam Schiff led that impeachment.
Yeah, that's the key thing.
Family members benefiting even from just the appearance of access is in itself a crime.
Also, let's listen to Dan Goble on MSNBC saying exactly that.
Cut 9.
If the Republicans continue to go down this impeachment investigation, they are knowingly doing it to assist Vladimir Putin in interfering in our upcoming election.
So it's far more serious than just, oh, James Comer at this point is an embarrassment and should be embarrassed with such a terrible investigation.
It's now much more serious that these House Republicans are going to be complicit in Russia's effort to install Donald Trump as president again.
Can you believe, as somebody who's followed this for years, that it literally is the broken record?
We have returned to Russia, Russia, Russia, and Putin stealing the election for Trump.
Can you believe it, John?
I can.
I can, yeah, because I've been living it for six years, absolutely.
Listen, Dan Dan, the distraction man, has always got a great line, except it's not based in fact.
And if the Democrats want to have a discussion about Russia collusion, today we put out a thousand pages of documents showing that from 2010 to 2014, and very important, for about half that time, Hunter Biden was a naval officer.
Remember when his father got him that commission?
He's in the U.S.
Navy, but he's over in Moscow with his friends trying to get oligarchs in Vladimir Putin's economy to change over money for them.
Hunter Biden was so in love with Russia, Russia, Russia, he was thinking about opening up a Rosemont Seneca office in Moscow, according to the documents.
He was on the cusp of getting a $1 billion deal from a Russian banking tycoon.
He took money from a Russian machinery magnet.
And they were about to really hit it big in Russia.
In fact, Hunter Biden's team was in Moscow the very day that Vladimir Putin decided to invade Crimea the first time in Ukraine.
And on that day, realizing, uh-oh, our Russian golden dream has gone away, they pivoted in that little window of that day.
And reached out to the Ukrainian oligarch, the other side, and literally the path to his braced mammalians was paved in Moscow.
It's a remarkable story, but a Russia collusion, they want to have that debate?
My gosh, Hunter Biden now has a thousand pages of Russian collusion for the American people to read about.
The latest article, it's at justthenews.com.
Road to Hunter Biden's Burisma riches was paved in Moscow with efforts to court Russian oligarchs.

That's my whole name with one word, sebastiangawker.substack.com.
You're listening to America First with me, Sebastian Gawker, former strategist, We can talk about both of them.
President of the United States. Stay with us here on the Salem News Network.
The one over there is with a one in Georgia. We can talk about both of them.
We can do VAERS and we can talk about Georgia. Yeah, that sounds good.
I also have a lawsuit on the pseudonym emails.
Oh wow!
Oh my gosh!
Alright, that's fabulous.
I've apparently become a trial lawyer's dream all of a sudden.
What are you expecting from this hearing right now in Fulton County?
I think this judge isn't a really strong guy, do you?
I don't think he's a strong guy, but he may have to, just to play his hand right in Fulton County, remove her, because I think the eyesores are going to get worse.
So I wouldn't be surprised if he removed her, but I don't think he'll admonish her the way she should be admonished, which is removal from being able to practice law.
And that's really, I mean, in that case, to proceed with the case after you've had to get rid of one prosecutor, it's going to be hard to close this deal, right?
Yeah, if they get rid of it, they're going to start all over, I think.
I think that's a strong possibility.
And remember, immunity applies to this case, too.
Right, right, right.
Come in with the Axios clip, Cup 13.

I know he was on the board.
I found out he was on the board after he was on the board.
And that was it.
And there's nobody... Well, you've had a lot of time.
Isn't this something you want to get to the bottom of?
No, because I trust my son.
But that doesn't pass the smell test.
Like, when you're vice president, isn't there a higher standard?
Don't you need to know what's happening with your family?
Don't you need to put down some guardrails?
Unless there was something that was... There was something on its face that was wrong.
There was nothing on its face that was wrong.
Yeah, millions of dollars from China, Russia, Ukraine, Romania, Kazakhstan, diamonds, sports cars.
It's totally normal.
Absolutely totally normal.
Remember, that was Joe Biden talking about Hunter Biden.
Will it lead to anything?
Only time will tell.
If you are at the top of your game, I'm happy for you.
If you're fighting fit, if you're healthy, God bless.
But for those of you who've struggled with one issue, can I give you a word of advice?
Especially those who are carrying Some excess luggage, if you know what I mean.
If you've been struggling with weight, then you should try out Dr. Ashley Lucas's amazing MyPhD Weight Loss Program.
With it, I lost 42 pounds, my wife Kaylee lost 36, Dennis Prager's on the program, Mike Gallagher lost 53 pounds and kept it off.
Now Mr. G's doing it.
Why?
Because there's no scary injections, no pills to pop, just a system that lets you eat five times a day but burns the fat.
I'm down to size 36 in my blue jeans.
I haven't done that since I was in my twenties and it feels amazing.
If I can do it with my sweet tooth, anyone can.
Check out the before and after pictures at myphdweightloss.com, especially mine.
You'll be shocked.
Or call her team at 864-644-1900.
That's 864-644-1900.
644-1900, or just go to myphdweightloss.com.
We're with the man who tells the truth, whatever the cost.
Why?
Because he believes in it.
He's a true investigative journalist.
He's the author of the book, Fallout with Seamus Brenner.
Yes, I mentioned it, so up it goes.
Nuclear bribes, Russian spies, and the Washington lies that enrich the Clinton and Biden dynasties.
And he is the founder of justthenews.com.
You're not just a journalist.
You're not just a media mogul now.
You're like a berserker, like a special forces in legal cases.
Just one, two, three we mentioned in the break.
What are you using the law for in terms of getting to the truth?
Tell us your latest activities.
Listen, we're trying to achieve transparency in a government that increasingly doesn't want to tell the truth to its people.
So we have three big lawsuits.
The first is forcing the National Archives to release these pseudonym emails.
of Joe Biden, all 82,000 pages of documents, where he either conducted business or was
talking to his family on a private email account while he was the vice president.
We've only got a few hundred of them out, but we're squeezing them out day by day.
The Southeastern Legal Foundation, great public interest law firm, helped us on that one.
The two most recent are we filed a lawsuit against Fannie Willis in Georgia, trying to
force the disclosure of the most important part of the Georgia scandal.
Yes, the sex and the conflicts of interest and the mis-expenditure money, that's important
public corruption stuff too.
But there should be no reason why the Biden White House had contacts with the state prosecutor trying to put Donald Trump in prison.
And we now know from billing records and from two statements in a court hearing that there are records of contacts between the Biden White House in Fannie Willis's office during the time they were
pursuing Donald Trump.
That should never happen. So we've sued to get those records forced out with the help of America
First Legal, another great public interest law firm. And then the most recent one, which we just
filed yesterday, is designed to force the FDA and the CDC to make public a secret set of books on
the adverse events, side effects that is, for the COVID-19 vaccine.
We all know about the VAERS database, that's the Vaccine Adverse Events Reporting System, and all known adverse events to humans who take a vaccine are supposed to be reported in there.
But what we learned in recent months through our reporting, through some great work by a medical journal, and by some remarkably candid comments that medical scientists made at Medical conventions that we located is that the CDC, FDA have been keeping a secret set of books.
A second system in the back end of theirs that the public doesn't see.
It talks about deaths and outcomes and corrections.
We would like to get that data out to the American public.
Why?
Our U.S.
medical system depends on informed consent.
You can't make an informed decision about your health if you don't have all the data about the vaccine safety.
We're suing to get those records out for the American public.
Wow.
And with regards to the second case, we're watching live now, the prosecutor arguing with the judge.
There's no problem, no conflict of interest, hiring somebody with no background in felony prosecutions, paying him $700,000 and then going on very, very luscious trips with him.
Is Fannie Willis going to be removed from that case?
What's your expectation?
You know, I think it's a 50-50 outcome.
I wouldn't be surprised if the judge removed her.
I wouldn't be surprised if he kept her and admonished her.
There is a lot of grievous conduct here that we don't expect the people in charge of enforcing the law to engage in.
Me-too behavior, mis-expenditure of monies, and I think, ultimately, politicalization of this prosecution.
If we can get those White House documents, we're going to get an answer to that.
Yeah.
In the meantime, follow this man at jsolomonreports and bookmarkjustinews.com.
He always delivers.
Thank you, John, and a happy, happy weekend.
Why do you think the IRS is hiring tens of thousands of new agents?
Is it to go after Democrats or rich billionaires?
Of course not.
They have their highly, highly paid tax experts and tax lawyers.
It's to go after patriots.
Do you have a plan if they come after you?
You need to check out the amazing team at Tax Network USA that has brilliant war strategies to include a preferred direct line to the IRS to the correct agents to talk to and the ones to avoid.

Bye-bye.
Bye.
Hi, this is President Trump, and Sebastian is really a friend of mine.
He's a great guy.
He's been with me from the beginning.
Listen to him.
We all learn.
Thank you, Mr. President.
Welcome back.
Jeff, how long has this guy been bloviating, this Fulton County buddy of Fannie?
He's been on there for like an hour now.
What's he doing?
I've been thinking the same thing.
This is supposed to be closing arguments.
What is going on?
Did you see that Fanny Willis was pushing him notes?
Really?
Yeah!
Are they about her 50th birthday party that sucked?
If you don't believe us, she actually said that from the witness stand.
We'll keep you updated.
Closing arguments right now on Fanny Willis's conflict of interest case.
Oh dear.
Oh dear.
It's looking a little bit...
Sticky for her, because if it's taking that long to make your final arguments, I don't think it's going well.
Please support those who make America First possible.
Great patriots.
Friends of President Trump.
Like Mike Lindell.
The left detests him.
Not because he makes good pillows, but because he's a conservative and loves America.
But he does make good pillows.
He's sold 81 million, more than 81 million of the pillow that never gets hot, never loses shape.
Why?
Because they are that good.
That's why I use them.
Seriously.
But did you know he's got more than 200 other items on his website made in America for you?
Don't buy that Chinese garbage on Amazon.
Go right now to mypillow.com.
Use my name.
You'll get up to 66% off and free shipping because you're listening to my show.
Buy American and support Mike Lindell.
Call them up.
Talk to a human being.
How delightful is that?
800-829-8468.
If we all started buying American, my gosh, the world would be a different place.
800-829-8468, mypillow.com, but you've got to use the secret code, G-O-R-K-A.
Okay, let's talk about the brave people at the Alliance Defending Freedom who stand up for all our religious liberties, and we're being joined by their vice president right now.
We are excited, Lathan Watts, responsible for public affairs at ADF.
Welcome to America First.
Thank you so much for having me.
So you, with your colleagues at ADF, fight for our religious liberties, our freedom of conscience for all Americans.
Everybody knows about, you know, Jack the Cake Baker, but you've been doing this on numerous instances.
You've risen up to at least 11 cases in the Supreme Court in recent years.
You've got two there right now, but I'd like to talk about This story out of Alabama that you wrote an opinion piece in The Federalist for, will you explain what's happening in the 11th Circuit Court and how serious this assault is?
Certainly.
What happened in Alabama, we were privileged to assist the Attorney General of Alabama in defending a state law that was being challenged.
The Alabama legislature passed a law that prohibited the use of puberty blockers and cross-sex hormones and very harmful surgeries on minors.
They were challenged... Let's use the real words here.
The mutilation of children.
These procedures are irreversible, and they do damage to healthy bodies under the false pretense that that will somehow help a troubled mind.
And what kids who are suffering from this need is compassionate care, and they need therapy, and they need help.
And what the Alabama legislature recognized is that what most Every reputable study on this issue shows is that with compassion and with therapy and with help, the overwhelming majority of kids who suffer with gender dysphoria, it will resolve itself naturally if the natural maturation process is allowed to go forward.
But if you short-circuit that with hormones and drugs and surgeries while they're suffering, You are doing irreversible damage to a minor, and so the legislature passed a law to prohibit that.
They were challenged in court.
We assisted the Attorney General in defending that, and we won late last year at the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals.
And all of this costs money, right?
I mean, you know, this is not something that can be done for free, correct?
Well, certainly, and we're very grateful to your show and to your listeners and to all of our supporters who help us with their donations, because by doing this, our clients are never billed for our legal representation.
And you mentioned, like Jack Phillips in Colorado, Lori Smith in Colorado, we won her Supreme Court case last year.
Some of these cases go on for years and years.
Jack has been in court for over a decade now.
There's no way that he could afford to take the stand that he has done if we were having to charge him just even an average hourly rate that most attorneys charge.
Alright, did you hear that?
Over a decade in the courts and being represented by ADF.
Please, if you care about the religious liberty of all Americans, support them right now.
Go to my website, SebGorker.com, make a donation, it is tax deductible, or call them directly on 855-374-4767.
That's 855-374-4767.
If you had to take this all the way to the Supreme Court, you would want ADF on your side.
All right, we've got a minute and a half left.
Let's squeeze in one more story.
What is ADF doing with regards to the Food and Drug Administration, Mr. Watts.
Certainly.
So we will be arguing at the United States Supreme Court later this month our litigation against the Food and Drug Administration for their callous disregard of women's health.
They removed the safety protocols that they themselves had imposed on the abortion pill Mifepristone without really so much as a reputable study to back up that decision.
We won this case in the Federal District Court.
We won again at the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals, and the Biden administration appealed to the United States Supreme Court, so we'll have oral argument later this month and hopefully a decision by the end of June when the term wraps up that will put these safety protocols back in place to protect the women who take these drugs.
Can you do your work?
Can you protect these women, these children, without the support of those who donate to ADF, Mr. Watts?
Well, not to the degree that we do.
There's no way.
We have hundreds, literally hundreds of ongoing cases at any point in time across our country.
And we have literally thousands upon thousands of requests for help every year.
And the support that we get from your listeners and others allows us, again, to do the work without having to charge the clients.
Well, God bless you and the whole team at Alliance Defending Freedom.
Please follow this gentleman at Lathan Watts on Twitter, and please support them all.
Call in your donation, 855-374-4767, or just go to my website, SebGorker.com, and click on the ADF banner at the top.
That number, again, it's such a worthy cause.
855-374-4767.

you you
you You're listening to America First with Sebastian Gorka, former strategist to President Donald J. Trump.
Hey, Jeff, I'm a bit confused.
That cut ten from Joe and Mika Brzezinski, they're finally turned on Biden and they're telling the truth about his adult brain?
If you listen to it, they nail it perfectly describing Biden.
I know.
I mean, what's happened?
I don't know.
It's interesting.
Must be a Friday thing.
Alright, let's listen.
Cut 10.
Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski.
What are we supposed to do with that?
People are actually voting.
Is there really one person voting for that guy?
Not just foreign languages.
How stupid would you have to be?
He can't complete a sentence.
He can't complete a thought.
He talks about Crooked Joe is the blood of countless victims.
This is vicious violation.
Like, think about what he's going to say.
Does somebody give him a little piece of paper or something?
Like, because that's clear he doesn't.
He doesn't even think.
Well, but I think, I really don't know, Willie.
Maybe you can give us some insight on it.
But he looks so lost and confused.
He jumbles his words.
He tries to read a little bit.
He's trying to be nasty.
Did he say... Are they talking about... Jeff, are they actually talking about President Trump?
Yeah, of course.
You didn't think that during his speech yesterday?
You didn't take that out of it?
Well, I'm gonna ask you because I took you and Eric to CPAC and you were there.
Like, you were in what?
What row were you guys in?
Fourth row.
Fourth row.
And then President Trump, we have to get a cut out of this.
He said, isn't this more freaking fun than listening to me read the teleprompter?
And he left the teleprompter.
Then he spoke for what, like another hour and ten minutes.
He stumbled so much, didn't he?
He was completely on point.
It actually reminded me.
For about 20 minutes it was basically just stand-up comedy.
The week before I'd been to Ron White, it's the first comedy show I've been in a while, and it reminded me exactly, I felt like I was at a comedy concert again.
But Eric, what about the moment when he starts telling the story about negotiating with the Mexicans, and then he goes on to the other stories about Iraq and everything else, and then he goes back 40 minutes later to exactly where he left off the Mexico story, and continues!
And he mentioned that in his speech, he's like, I can go on this tangent for as long as I want, then I'll come right back to the point I was making, right?
The whole room cheered, it was great.
Oh my gosh.
I just, do these people have souls?
I know, you know, as Christians, we have to recognize the other is made in the image of our creator, but there is no way on God's green earth.
The Joe Scarborough that Mika Brzezinski don't know that they are lying.
Bald face lies.
How can you do that every day for hours?
My lord, it's just a different species of human being.
Yeah, a little banana splits.
Let's get America back.

Thank you.
I believe that Donald J. Trump will play a significant role in who the next leader is in the Senate, and rightfully so.
He should, because Donald Trump will be our president, he will be the 47th president, and he's going to want to damn well make sure that whoever is leading the charge in the Senate understands Donald Trump and his policies to make America great again, again.
Make America Great Again.
Again.
Troy Nels is absolutely right.
We're going to get him in studio to talk about his new book but in the meantime we can't have somebody leading the Republicans in the upper house who isn't MAGA.
It's our party now.
Who should it be?
Maybe we should ask our next guest.

Who better to discuss the resurgence, the recrudescence of MAGA in America than the man who advises the President is his attorney as well.
He's just my buddy.
We call him the Baron.
Happy Friday, Boris Epstein!
Thank you so much.
Are you having a good Friday so far?
I'm having a good Friday now because it's an honor to be with you, it's an honor to be with your audience, and an honor to talk all things MAGA.
And I think, given that I've been at several cigar events in the last week, I might finally be catching up with you, Boris.
Well, the weekend is only starting.
We'll see how it goes.
I've got a couple in my pocket.
Alright, so I want to talk substantive stuff, but first, I've got a question that I think
all of our millions of listeners will want the answer to from you.
I know the president, but you know him much better because you're at his side now for years as his senior advisor, as his attorney.
Help our listeners understand one thing.
We were there.
I managed to get Jeff and Eric to meet the president after his speech on CPAC on Saturday.
And we just listened first to the speech.
Then we, you know, met him afterwards.
And it's just stunning.
Everything that he's facing.
700 years in prison.
The constant attacks in the media.
It was the funniest speech he's given.
Just anecdote after anecdote.
It was like a stand-up.
The man's sense of humor is just indestructible.
Boris, how does he do it?
Sebastian, it's full spectrum dominance.
That's how he does it.
President Trump knows that the American people need him now.
He knows that the American people cannot, cannot have a country if he does not come back as president.
So he's putting everything into it.
He's firing on all cylinders at a level, frankly, I've never seen before.
And that's why you're seeing him annihilating the competition, whatever.
I mean, there's nothing left of the Republican Party.
and destroying crooked Joe Biden.
Yeah.
I mean, look at that contrast yesterday.
President Trump, full of strength, full of power at the border.
Crooked Joe doesn't even know where he is.
And that is why President Trump is crushing this election.
And we'll walk into the Oval Office, Jan 20, 2020.
That's up to us.
Eric, I know you want to show the photograph.
Just show the photograph with the boss from Saturday.
I know you want to show everybody.
Have you got it?
Put it up there.
You, the President, Mr. G. There we are.
What a photograph.
All right, let's talk about the border.
Let's talk about what the President said yesterday.
A name that the current incumbent seems incapable of letting pass through his lips.
Cut four.
Joe Biden will never say Lakin Riley's name, but we will say it and we will remember it.
We're not going to forget her.
It's been just a horrible story that we've had to live with for the last few days.
It's hard to believe.
And her parents are just they can never be the same great people.
An hour ago the funeral for Lake and Riley, age 22, started.
Thousands of people are there in Georgia.
We have the b-roll of the footage of the people who are there.
Just thousands and thousands of people.
Boris, this young woman had her whole life ahead of her.
She'll never be walked down the aisle by her father.
She'll never be married, never have children, never be a successful mother or a career woman.
Why is it that the current regime that caused her death with open borders, let alone can't mention her name, but President Trump has spoken to the Rileys, and Joe Biden hasn't even taken the time for a phone call, Boris.
It's exactly what you said, my friend.
First of all, our deepest condolences and prayers to Leica and Riley's family, and I mean, just, you know, Laker was somebody who people loved.
And Laker was somebody who, you know, everyone around her seems to, you know, have been touched by her warmth and her grace.
And she was taken from her loved ones, from her family.
And what was she, you know, she was taken by this disgusting, murder, illegal immigrant.
She was really taken by, and this is awful to say, but it's true, by disgusting, Despicable American policies.
Well, and not only that, we have the double whammy that it's not only an illegal who was let in through the open borders in 2020 under Joe Biden, but one who was arrested for endangering a minor in New York and then released by the likes of Alvin Bragg and other Democrats.
So this tells you everything you need to know about the Democrats at the federal and local level, doesn't it?
Well, this is crooked Joe Biden's policies, and this is just the reality of it.
Under President Trump, we had a border, we were safe, and with President Trump back in office, we're going to be safe again, and we'll have a border again.
But right now, we don't have that.
We have an absolute disaster, and condolences and prayers go out to Lake and Riley's family, and they also go out to all of the families who've been destroyed, decimated by the horror By the despicable terror of migrant crime.
And whose migrant crime is it?
It's Crooked Joe Biden's migrant crime.
And that's a huge reason why the American people are disgusted with Crooked Joe Biden, disgusted with the Biden crime family, and cannot wait for President Trump to be back in office.
But it's okay, Barron.
Relax.
We have the immigration expert Al Sharpton explain the real genesis of the crisis.
Cut five.
How do we forget that there was a border crisis under Trump that Trump did not solve, that Biden inherited, and now he's trying to solve what was not solved by his predecessor?
They can try whatever they want to do a 180 because this is a problem affecting all Americans, but my contention, and you are the seasoned campaign hand, there is no way on God's green earth, Baron, that they get to wash this off themselves for the next eight months.
Am I seeing that clearly?
Of course you're seeing it.
And they know it, and that's why they're trying to ignore it.
That is why Crooked Joe won't say Leigh Conradi's name.
That's why he hasn't called her parents, hasn't spoken to her family, as you said, President Trump so graciously has.
That is why what we have in this country right now is no leadership.
We don't have a government.
We don't have a president.
We have an absolute disarray.
And again, we need President Trump back to save our country, and frankly, to save the world.
Last question.
Let's stick to the peculiar phenomena of Nikki Haley.
She's still running.
Who?
Yeah, exactly who.
She's been trounced in her own state.
She's been trounced five other times.
Let's tell the truth.
Why is Nikki Haley running and who's funding her, Boris?
She may be running because she thinks she'll make money after.
She may be running because she thinks she'll get a book deal, like Liz Cheney, after losing by 80 points.
But here's why she's not running.
There's no way that she's running to do anything that's good for our country.
She's not running out of some sort of sense of patriotism or loyalty to the Republican Party or to President Trump, who made her the UN ambassador.
Nikki Haley needs to drop out.
You know what?
In the end, it doesn't even matter because the Republican electorate, the MAGA movement, which is now the Republican Party, are all with President Trump.
And that's why he's going to dominate on Super Tuesday and march on to get back to the White House.
Yeah, just again, somebody who clearly has has no moral center, no moral fiber.
You were You were a political officer of the president.
You were a campaign asset.
You were a member of the cabinet.
And now you incessantly, incessantly attack him.
That's who the real Nikki Haley is.
All right, buddy.
I'm going to hit the road later tonight.
I'm off to Texas to meet some patriots there.
But I know I'll get a rope or two in.
We'll be having a couple of cigars.
The game is afoot, Boris.
Are you ready?
I am ready and full prepared.
All right, have a blessed, wonderful weekend.

Yeah.
Yeah. Three minutes.
Yeah.
I've given you all the stuff for Casio, right Jeff?

Unbelievable.

What about a title for Boris?
Um, mm-mm-mm-mm-mm.
How do I write it down?
President Trump, colon, full spectrum dominance.
Full spectrum dominance.
The judge is going to take two weeks to decide.
Are you kidding me?
I'm not surprised.
I'm not surprised.
Mic's on.
Thank you.
Eric doesn't trust the judge in Georgia.
This one's thrown out.
It's too embarrassing.
I hope you're right.
I really hope so.
Alright, let's take bets.
Eric, does she get thrown out?
No.
No.
Jeff, does she get thrown out?
All I know is the case won't happen before the election.
And none of them will.
Alex, Fannie Willis, is she in trouble?
She's in trouble.
She's toast.
Is she toast, or is she gonna stay?
I believe she's toast, so let the water flow.
All right.
John, a thumbs up or a thumbs down for Fanny Willis?
Ooh, we have a majority!
I think we start a GoFundMe for her 51st birthday.
Oh my gosh, we should do that.
Oh, wouldn't that be hilarious?
And then we just spend it.
I mean, I feel bad.
It sucked her 50th, so it's the right one.
We're connected.
you you
making sense out of today's nonsense here's dr. Sebastian Gorka Welcome back, welcome back.
It's Friday.
We have a very good friend joining us momentarily, but I want to depress you on a Friday with a wake-up call concerning what Biden has done to this nation.
The Air Force Academy is probably the most left-wing academy, although, you know, there are communists at West Point.
We've seen them graduated in their Che Guevara t-shirts.
But the fact is, Colorado Springs Air Force Academy had a Wiccan pagan temple built for the cadets over a decade ago.
That's how woke they are, and it's only gotten worse.
They just had a symposium.
On what?
Inclusivity!
With a man pretending to be a woman wearing the uniform of the United States Air Force.
You won't believe it, but here it is.
All too often, I hear leaders talk about providing everyone with dignity and respect like it's an aspirational goal.
That's not good enough.
Dignity and respect is the bare minimum.
It's the floor of where we can be.
We must set our sights higher and focus on intentional inclusivity because there are still far too many people out there, not just LGBTQ individuals, that feel marginalized, shut out, or discriminated against.
So for all of you out there, I ask you to set out your symbols of pride, share your pronouns in your email, particularly if you're a person who doesn't think they need to, initiate difficult conversations about racial and gender barriers, and share a bit of your vulnerability in a way that draws others in.
You all have the power to take intentionally inclusive actions to ensure the multiple perspectives that we know make us stronger as we devise winning warfighting strategies get heard.
For those of you who are listening, That was a man dressed as a woman talking about inclusivity instead of the only thing our military needs to do, which is to train and when necessary kill people or blow stuff up or do both at the same time.
I think we have to dedicate a whole hour to that just one video.
But now let's get to a good friend who I saw at the weekend.
Oh, I forgot to give Eric the photograph.
We were at CPAC.
She is a truth-teller par excellence.
Geri Perner, welcome back to America First.
Thank you so much, Sebastian.
How was your CPAC?
You looked in a good mood.
And, oh my gosh, what did she do?
Guys, can you see above me?
I have a Captain Kirk in his Star Trek Enterprise chair.
Right there.
And I have a Spock right behind me over there.
Jerry, who gave those to me?
I saw those at an estate sale and I thought of you, so I picked them up.
She travels the country, she comes to the swamp, and she brings me gifts.
That's how amazing she is.
Alright, Geri, I can't remember how many times you've been on the show.
Sadly, in each instance, it's to talk about your beautiful nephew, a young man who spent just a few minutes inside the Capitol on January the 6th.
And then was threatened with terrorist charges and instead of spending over a decade in prison, sadly, Matt Perna took his life.
The blood of that man's life is on the hands of Joe Biden, as we could say exactly the same with Lake and Riley.
But you were in D.C.
for a reason recently with none other than Marjorie Taylor Greene.
We have the B-roll.
Why were you here?
Why were you here, Jerry?
Marjorie was reintroducing the Matthew Lawrence current act of 2022 and she asked me to come and participate in her press conference.
Why was there nobody there?
We're looking at the footage right now.
I see our friend Mrs. Hughes.
I see MTG and then two other people assisting you.
Where are the rest of the Republicans who want to fight for the January 6th defendants and for the martyrs of January 6th?
That's a very good question because Marjorie was quite upset that morning that not even one of her constituents would co-sponsor the bill with her and I was equally upset and disappointed to tell you it was heartbreaking for me.
Was there something especially controversial?
What was the nature of the bill, Jerry?
The nature of the bill is very simple.
There's nothing in there that's radical by any stretch, but one of the main points of interest in the bill would be to allow for a change of venue.
If the January 6th defendants were given the opportunity to have their trials heard outside of Washington, D.C., they wouldn't all be pleading guilty like they are.
And of course, you know, the outcomes would be much different.
Now, I know in the past you've been very open about people you tried to reach out to, including the governor of Florida, Ron DeSantis.
Are there other people who you also expected assistance from, or Matt's family expected assistance from, who have given you the cold shoulder?
Because I'm shocked.
I thought there'd be at least a couple of other congressmen or women there, along with you and Marjorie Taylor Greene.
Well, to be honest, I'm especially disappointed in Matt Gaetz because last year Matt Gaetz hosted a field hearing that he asked me to come and speak at, which I did at my own expense.
And we laid everything out there, so it's not like he was unaware of Matt.
And I also had brought up the bill at that field hearing.
And prior to that, former Congressman Louie Gohmert had introduced the bill, and Marjorie Taylor Greene was the only one to co-sponsor it, so it's not like this is a brand new piece of news to any of these people.
And yet, Nothing.
They gave us nothing.
No one supported her.
And it really breaks my heart.
Because it's like they don't care.
And it really has become apparent they really don't care about these people from January 6th.
And the thing about the bill is this, Sebastian.
Down the road, this bill is not a Republican-Democrat thing.
This can help somebody down the road who finds themselves in the same shoes as the January 6ers for possibly speaking out or committing misdemeanor crimes.
Yeah, yeah.
The website is rememberingmattperner.com.
Matt Gates is a friend of the show, so I will be asking him why he wasn't there and why he can't get other people who say they support the families who have suffered as a result of January 6th to be part of supporting this bill.
In the meantime, God bless you, Gerry.
Twitter account is at Jerry Perna.
That's G-E-R-I-P-E-R-N-A.
And please understand one thing.
She's doing this because it's not just about her nephew.
This can happen to anyone.
It's not just about Matt.
God rest his soul.
It's about anyone.
And the next guest on this show is a journalist who was just arrested by the FBI today and put in leg shackles.
And we'll be talking to Steve Baker here on America First.
God bless you, Jerry Perna.
Thank you, Shab.
Thank you.
Religious liberty is something all of us should enjoy.
What happens when they come after you?
To crush your religious freedoms.
Whether you're Jack the Cake Baker, whether you're a pro-life preacher in Philadelphia who has his door bust in by the FBI, well somebody is there to help.
It's the Alliance Defending Freedom that has taken over 10 cases all the way to the Supreme Court to fight for your rights.
Let's come together to support them.
They don't charge their clients anything and they're here for all of our religious liberties.

All right, super grateful for our buddies at The Blaze.
Breaking news this morning, I reached out to them and they said, yes, we can help you connect with the person at the center of the breaking news, one of their investigative journalists, Steve Baker.
And we're delighted to have him on our show in front of millions of listeners today.
Steve Baker, welcome to America First.
Thank you, Sebastian.
So what did you do this morning?
What did you spend your day doing?
I spent most of my morning in leg chains.
Are you like in prison in a work gang because you're a bank robber?
No, I'm a gang banger.
So yeah, it's one of those situations where my scary words, I suppose, on January 6th when I covered that event, probably are going to result in some sort of... God only knows at this point, Sebastian.
I've had a rough day today.
My blood pressure is finally normalized at this point.
Alright, well we're gonna pump it up a little bit.
So, you surrendered to the FBI.
You were put in leg shackles today.
Because of what?
Did you kill anybody?
Did you break anything?
Did you steal Nancy Pelosi's podium?
What did you do on January the 6th?
And what have they been waiting for, for the last three years?
I'm curious.
Well, it took them three years to finally do this, but the reality is that I'm guilty of doing journalism that does not comport with the preferred narrative, and that's what it boils down to.
So you weren't charged with something to do with official proceedings on January the 6th?
What did they charge you with today, Steve?
I got the four basic misdemeanors that they charge all of the accidental tourists that go through the building that day.
The difference between them and me is I was there working.
I was there doing my job.
I was there following the story where the story went.
But I still got the same charges, you know, the parading, the picketing, disrupting Congress and blah blah blah blah blah blah as well as the glorified trespassing charge.
But I'm one of those 60 journalists that went through those broken windows and those busted open doors and the only ones charged so far are the ones that submit their stories to more right-leaning publications or media.
But nobody on the other side has been charged yet.
So where did you have to surrender today?
We chose Dallas here where the Blaze is so we could have the Blaze cameras there basically.
I live in North Carolina so I could have done it in Raleigh or DC but we chose to do it in Dallas and so it was at the federal courthouse in downtown Dallas And has Biden's DOJ, have the lapdogs of the FBI told you why?
I presume you haven't been a fugitive on the lam in Ecuador for the last three years.
Did they say why they waited years to do this to you, Steve?
No, no.
They've not explained that to me yet because they actually threatened me with prosecution the first time in November of 21.
They actually told my attorney in November of 21 that I would be charged within the week.
And then they went away.
They disappeared and we didn't hear from them for 20 months.
And then 20 months later, I got a grand jury subpoena.
Well, when a grand jury subpoenas you, they're investigating you for a felony.
Grand juries aren't seated for misdemeanor And so we complied with the subpoena.
It was they wanted all my videos.
We gave that to them.
And then they went silent again for four months.
And then in December, they said that I had to turn this mid-December.
They said that I had to turn myself in the next week.
Wally.
And then they went quiet again.
We didn't hear from them for another two months until just the other day, when they said, OK, this time it's for real.
We have an actual signed arrest warrant this time, and we want your client, who's speaking to my attorney about me, to submit himself next week.
And so we complied this morning, 7 o'clock.
Well, we're going to have you on for a longer discussion, Steve.
We've got 30 seconds left.
What is your plan?
And I presume the great people at The Blaze are going to stand behind you?
So far they've been incredible.
I have a great team of lawyers as well, and we will be looking at our game plan as soon as we find out who our judge is.
That will depend a lot on whether we get a hanging judge or a sensible judge.
If you don't believe that there's a police state in America, Just listen to what Steve Baker has told us for the last
five minutes.
Three years later, for being a journalist working for a conservative outlet, he is facing federal time.
Theblaze.com is the website. Please follow Steve right now on Twitter at TPC4USA.
That's TPC4USA. And please, Steve, you've got my number, you've got Jeff's number.
Keep us updated and we're going to have you back for a longer discussion.

This is Second Amendment Friday on America First, brought to you by Carr Firearms.
I thank the maker every single day that, for the time being, America remains the freest nation on Earth, and that's because of the Second Amendment and our right to keep and bear arms.
No other company understands that better than the Carr Firearms Group, led by our good friend Justin Moon.
Carr stands strong, and I'm ashamed In their support for our right to keep and bear arms is the ultimate guarantor against tyranny.
Check out their peerless weapons at KAHR.com.
I carry a 9mm car every day.
They also own the iconic Desert Eagle line and the historic Inter Ordnance line, including the venerable M1 carbine, the Tommy Gun, and the legendary 1911.
There's a reason I carry a car.
Check out their website.
K-A-H-R dot com.
K-A-H-R dot com.
All right, let's start with a little bit of nostalgia as we celebrate the Second Amendment today with one of the greatest leaders the Western world has ever had.
After Churchill in the British canon, I would say Maggie is right up there.
The woman who presided over the United Kingdom, Margaret Thatcher, when I was a wee little boy.
And we have a photograph of her at Hereford.
With the premier counter-terrorist unit bar none, the people who invented it, of course, the SAS, the people who stormed the Iranian embassy, Operation Nimrod, with a certain weapon in their hands, the venerable, the legendary HK MP5 and the MP5SD.
I have one.
Sadly, it's only semi-automatic, but is the real deal.
It is internally suppressed and it's really very Usually suppressors silencers aren't that quiet, not like Hollywood.
This one, this one's very quiet.
But we might have to upgrade it a little bit with something that is quiet but shoots a real big caliber, a rifle caliber.
And that's what Maxim Defense have done with their upgrade for the SD.
And I saw it at SHOT Show and we have The guy who knows the most about it.
He is the law enforcement sales chief for the company that brought it to us.
Maxim Defense, Tim Salbrady.
Welcome to America First.
Hey Doc, how are you guys doing today on this good Friday?
Very well, very well, very well, especially after we managed to connect with you.
We're so happy to do that.
Didn't manage to test out the latest weapons you had at SHOT Show, but talk to us first about the Genesis.
I have one of these weapons without a suppressor.
In 7.62 Russian, which is very cool by the way, 7.62 by 39.
But explain the logic of how this is really an upgrade to one of the most classic counter-terrorism weapons in the world, Tim.
Yeah, you know with Maximum Defense we started off building braces and stocks and we decided to enter our name in the hat to build a PDW, kind of oriented around counter-terrorism operations.
A personal defense weapon, a very small envelope weapon, but firing a serious round, correct?
Yeah, absolutely.
Something that is going to be compact, easy to move on target, move around vehicles in tight spaces, but also pack the lethality that longer rifle calibers are going to normally have.
So we have, in 2019, the PDX, which is our five and a half inch barrel.
AR comes in 5.56, 300 blackout, and as you've alluded to, 7.62x39.
So that came out in 2019.
That's been extremely good to us.
And in the recent years, we've been entering the suppressor world, and we've released our own suppressors, as well as, as you mentioned, the PDX-SD, which is our PDX with a suppressor that is married to the upper receiver in the barrel.
So, it's integral, it's part of the upper, it's an AR pattern upper, but it's not just another AR-15.
So, walk us through it.
Especially, I'm very excited about the 300 Blackout, which is a round that's actually designed to be suppressed, because in its heavy loadings, it's subsonic.
So, talk about why this isn't just another AR-15 pistol.
Yeah, well, with our shorter weapon platforms, there's a lot that has to start to be considered for the engineering with the pressures that are involved with the suppressor design, the gassing systems.
And what we've done is we've taken a DSX suppressor, kind of our flagship suppressor that we normally sell, and we've shortened it and we kind of had to broaden its shoulders a little bit to go after a solicitation for a PDW for a Special operations unit in the British Isles.
We'll leave it at that.
All right, we'll leave you there.
Kind of narrows it down to like three possibilities, but I think we know who we're talking about.
Carry on.
Yeah, they had some proof of concept requirements and we basically took the PDX and we have our suppressed upper receiver group we call our surge upper receiver.
And it's not exactly integrally suppressed like many other systems are.
However, that can and that gas system and barrel, if you were to remove any one of those components from that equation, it's not going to cycle properly.
So that gun is specifically made to be shot suppressed.
And now with the 300 blackouts, when we add in the subsonics, that becomes a very, very quiet, effective weapons option for special operations on target, from military use to law enforcement.
And what is the popularity?
What are you seeing from law enforcement and the military with regards to the 300 blackout?
I mean, that's a serious upgrade from 9mm.
Is it gaining popularity or do these guys want to stick with a 5.56 and a 77 grain?
It depends on where we're at. In the United States, more often than not, most law enforcement
agencies are going to be shooting .223 or .556, which is same, same but different, as most of
your viewers know. The re-enter blackout in the United States has been slower to kind of get up
off the ground because the price of the ammo isn't really there to support taxpayers as much as like
the availability of .556 and .223 is on the market. However, in Europe, you're seeing a lot more of the
law enforcement counterterrorism units using .300 blackout for their stopping power and their
operations out there.
It's because it's a real bullet.
It wasn't designed for vomiting.
The 556, the 223 is this tiny little bullet.
It's not a serious bullet.
Ask the guys who've actually gone downrange with it.
All right, we've got a minute left.
We've got some other two other things, I think, that are new from SHOT Show.
Let's put the images up there.
We've got this sexy little beast.
And then the next one, let's put that up there as well.
I think that's the one we've been discussing.
And then the last one, what else do we have?
Is there another?
Oh, look at that, a full-size AR.
Tell us, Give us information about anything else that our viewers should know about.
Yeah, we'll go to the first image real quick.
That is our MD9 Caliber Carbine.
So it's our 9mm.
It comes in 4.5 and 5.5 inches.
Yeah, we have a 16-inch option on the website as well.
Awesome for recreational shooting, but also a very good law enforcement option for school resource officers, executive protection details, anyone that's protecting sensitive sites.
That would be an awesome protection platform to integrate.
And then the last picture that we had is our MD-10 light.
That's going to be a .30 caliber AR.
Comes in 6.5 Creedmoor or .308.
Shaw fluted barrels.
All the additional items that you see on the firearm come in the picture, come out of the box as far as the magpul furniture.
And that has been a great sub $2,000 firearm for us this year.
All right.
Far too many guns, far too little time.
We've been talking to our buddy Tim Salbrady.
He is the manager for law enforcement sales at Maxim Defense, at MaximDefense.com.
Happy Friday, my friend.
I'm Sebastian Gorka.

So we had dueling visits down to the border.
The person responsible for the disaster over the last three years didn't have anything to say about the cost to American citizens, including, of course, Lakin Riley, murdered a week ago in Georgia.
Beautiful 22-year-old nursing student.
Joe Biden had nothing to say about it.
President Trump, however, well, he did.
Let's just listen to what he said on the border just yesterday.
Joe Biden will never say Lakin Riley's name, but we will say it and we will remember it.
We're not going to forget her.
It's been just a horrible story that we've had to live with for the last few days.
It's hard to believe.
And her parents are just they can never be the same.
Great people.
Think of that for a moment.
President Trump, the former president, the individual who's not in office, who doesn't run the executive, doesn't control DHS or Customs and Border Protection.
He has taken the time to call up the parents of that young girl who, who's been killed by that illegal.
Jose Ibarra.
Joe Biden.
And it's not that he didn't call up the family.
He didn't even dare to mention her name.
These are the stakes, my friends.
How many more Kate Steinleys?
How many more Lake & Rileys?
How many more Molly Tibbettses?
We need to stop this insanity.
When we were in the White House, the border was secure.
The world was secure.
We had no wars for four years.
The economy was prosperous.
Please, please take a role upon yourself to bring back that reality of a free, stable, and prosperous America that had national sovereignty.
Fly the flag above your home that says, I stand with 45.
Check out all the gear that puts you in the right place to tell the truth about this nation.
You made it number one, jointly released with Chris Platt, the FBI t-shirt, but this one stands for Fascist Bureau of Intimidation, as we have discussed today.
It's time to stand up for the truth, because if you don't get engaged, If you don't get politically active, if you don't act as a catalyst for others to have courage and to be politically engaged, well, in November you may just have to kiss it all goodbye.
Please, go to SebGorkaStore.com, S-E-B-G-O-R-K-A-Store.com, fly the Trump flag, and most importantly, support President Trump at DonaldJTrump.com.
That's DonaldJTrump.com.
All right, serious matters.
However, it is also Friday.
We must unwind a little bit with our good friend, Chris Coles, who joins us from across the other side of the world to celebrate a classic, making movies great again.
Stay with us here on America First.
♪♪♪ ♪♪♪
♪♪♪ Of all the gin joints in all the towns in all the world,
she walks into mine.
Impressive.
Most impressive.
See things you people wouldn't believe. When you talk to God.
Bye.
you Let's go see him together.
So So
So Oh
Anything It's a very different opening to a movie
Takes us back to Bosley Berkeley in the 1930s.
It's a lot of fun.
It's the sequel to... Would you want to have to make a sequel to Raiders of the Lost Ark?
It's a very different kind of movie, and we're gonna make it great again here with our good buddy Chris Colts, he of the Alpha Critic and the Reagan channels on YouTube.
This is your choice, Chris.
You know, if I was told I need to make a sequel to Raiders of the Lost Ark, I'd say, uh, no.
Uh, no, I'll pass.
Uh, not something I want to try and compete with, even if I'm Steven Spielberg.
Although, I have to say, it's a different movie, but it's a good one.
Yeah, you know, it's interesting because it went in a very different direction with this one.
You know, it's a darker movie.
A lot of people think it's a worse movie.
And I'll be honest, I have always thought that this was an inferior film, not just to Raiders, but also to Last Crusade.
But seeing it now, You know, and this keeps happening with this show that we're doing.
As I revisit these films that I've seen so many times in my youth, I'm just like, this is such a gem.
And I think it has everything to do with perspective.
Right.
We're used to seeing films like modern day films on, you know, filmed on digital.
And it just doesn't have the magic like these old films.
And there's I don't know what it is.
There's something about maybe it's the it's the film itself.
Maybe it's just the way that films were produced back then.
The fact they didn't have the Internet.
And, you know, they really had to work hard.
Everybody had to be at the top of their game.
And you look at something like this and you think, wow, by the end of it, you're thinking this is a masterpiece compared to anything they produced in the last 20 years.
It's just it Yeah, these movies are in a different category.
They so engross the viewer.
You can't... You know, I watched it again this week.
I love it.
It's one of the few, you know, movies that I carry on my phone if I've got spare time, if I'm on a plane.
This is, you know, one of the greats that we watch.
And this isn't a film that you sit down and you start, oh, let me check my Twitter account and see what's going on and read emails.
You just want to watch the movie.
Why?
Because for all of his flaws, I'm sorry, Steven Spielberg is a good movie teller, a good storyteller.
The characters, the writing, the humor.
But, Chris, this is a PG-13 movie.
In fact, the PG-13 rating was invented for this movie when Steven Spielberg, you know, appealed to the higher rating it was going to get.
Is this a kid's movie, Chris?
It's a great question.
One of the weird things about movies in the 80s was that it's sort of like comic books during World War II.
In World War II, one of the most popular periodicals that the troops would get were comic books.
It's crazy to me.
I didn't know that until I think I did some research for this show.
Kind of like that in the 1980s, some films that appealed to your sense of fun and adventure and stuff that you think would maybe just be for kids, it was kind of for everyone.
Maybe not 80-year-old men, maybe they didn't like this movie, but just about everyone loved these Spielberg films, these Indiana Jones films.
But I do think that maybe he didn't realize after the Raiders came out, wow, children love Indiana Jones.
Maybe we can do some merchandising, like with Star Wars, and maybe we'll make it a little bit more about kids.
So he put a kid sidekick in it, like Batman and Robin.
He put in a bunch of kids that were slaves.
I mean, what a hero, you know, to free child slaves.
You don't get more heroic than that, right?
And so there's a lot of kids in this movie.
And but what's weird about it is it's got this juxtaposition.
Yes, it's got kids in it.
And yeah, it kind of appeals to kids and like the gross out stuff like the dinner and stuff like that.
But then there is this very dark subject matter.
You mean ripping out somebody's heart while it's still beating stuff like that?
A classic kids movie angle?
Yeah, it's really a weird movie in that sense.
But you know what?
We know what Spielberg understands.
The mind of a child.
And maybe that's why he's such a great filmmaker.
Because when you're a kid, you really do like that dark stuff, that gross out stuff.
I found some old drawings that I did when I was like, I think I was like 12 or something.
Do we have to show them to your psychiatrist?
Maybe, yeah, it's like axes in people's heads and arrows through, you know, the hand and stuff.
And I was like working out how to make things go in and out and like blood squirting out and stuff like that.
Like little boys, they love that kind of crap.
So, you know, Spielberg really, I think, was on the money here.
He understood something that modern filmmakers don't understand.
Yeah, he does.
He does have a childlike mind.
And that's why these movies work.
More serious stuff, not necessarily the same.
I gotta go back to the opening scene.
For me, I like this movie.
It is dark.
We'll talk about the problems I have with it.
But the opening scene is so ballsy.
Why?
Because it's pure and utter fantasy.
The song, I mean, you know, she's in a nightclub and then suddenly this singer right disappears through the back of the stage and then suddenly you've got hundreds of dancers you're on a hollywood set somewhere the dancers move backwards right they play the film backwards so that they do the splits and then they do the splits in reverse this yeah
If somebody described that in a pitch for a movie, say, yeah, we're doing a thing about an archaeologist goes to India, fights this cult, which is a real cult, by the way.
The Thuggees were a real cult.
We'll talk about that later.
But we're going to have this thing where this woman disappears into this Hollywood set and people are walking backwards.
I love it, Chris.
I love it.
You know, I have to say, I don't know if I agree with you.
When I was growing up, I felt like this dance number was like an annoying thing that I had to sit through to get to the actual movie.
You know, every single time I watched it and watching it through this time, You know, as an adult, it was a little bit more interesting.
Obviously, I've studied film a lot more.
I know who Busby Berkeley is.
I know what, you know, Spielberg was trying to do.
And it is a bit of fun.
It is a little bit interesting what he was trying to do more as an adult.
But I still think, like, let's just get to the movie.
You know, I'm still sitting there going, let's get to him sitting down with, you know, with these Chinese gangster And, uh, handing over the artifact so we can get that diamond and, you know, drink the poison and get, try to find the antidote.
And once this movie starts, it's basically action all the way for the rest of the movie.
Unlike Raiders, which was much more story based.
This movie was, is like from the beginning to the end, it's just action, action, action.
And I remember as a kid thinking, Every little scene, every little segment that they shot was just so much fun.
And it really is a fun movie, despite the fact that it's quite dark.
Yeah.
I like the opening because it puts you immediately... This is Shanghai.
You know, this is the 30s.
This is Shanghai.
You're in the Obi-Wan club.
So, you know, boom, boom, boom.
It takes you to that place, right?
Takes you to that place.
We're talking Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom.

Okay, come in with darkness.
You will go to Pancot Palace.
I thought the palace had been deserted since... No.
Now there is a new Maharaja.
And again, the palace has the power of the dark light.
It is that place.
Kill my people!
What has happened here?
The evil start in Pancot.
Then like monsoon, it moves darkness over all country, over all country.
That individual, if you've watched the making of documentaries, the village elder, none of this was filmed
in India.
The Indian government said, oh no, you can't talk about our history and things like the Thagi cult.
We're going to kick you out.
So they went to Sri Lanka.
That individual didn't speak a word of English.
So Steven Spielberg was sitting over Harrison Ford's shoulder, Feeding the lines to the actor who was fanatic.
He had no idea what he was saying.
He was phonetically repeating them and then they edited Spielberg's voice out.
Chris, this movie, oh my gosh, I mean from the get-go it's dark.
I mean you arrive, you have this village offering this food to the visitors that is disgusting to Willie the
Squeeze, but it's the only food they have.
So immediately Indy says, don't insult these people.
They have nothing and they're giving you everything.
Heavy tone from the beginning and then they say, our children have been stolen.
Wow.
We'll get to what happens to the children later, but the tone, I think he was going through a divorce at the time, so this kind of, you know, the film producers, directors were shaped by that atmosphere, but this gets heavy very quickly.
Yeah, it does.
It does.
And you mentioned the divorce and obviously, Willie, the female protagonist, the female lead in the film.
She doesn't know about the, you know, she doesn't understand the culture.
She doesn't understand these people.
So she tries to reject the food.
And of course, Indy, you know, that says the famous line, you're insulting them and you're embarrassing me.
Right.
And forces her to eat it, even though she thinks it's disgusting.
I did find.
So now one thing that was cool about picking this film, Is that I can kind of relate to it a lot more now because I happen to be traveling in Asia.
Are you eating monkey brains for breakfast, Chris Coles?
Again, well, that's you know, that's that's top secret.
I won't discuss that.
But one thing I did find interesting is that they serve them the food on these banana leaves.
And really, like I can order from one of the restaurants here and they will send me that just tonight.
I had my dinner on a banana leaf.
Do you feel do you feel like you are Indiana Jones, Chris Coles?
A little bit.
I'm riding a motorcycle all over the place out here.
And I wanted to get a satchel because I can't really put anything.
I don't have like saddlebags or anything.
So I want to get a satchel.
And I actually looked up.
This is how much these films, you know, change my perspective on life.
I was literally looking up what are the kinds of bags that Indiana Jones carried with him in the films because I was like, oh, that'd be cool to have an Indiana Jones bag.
Chris?
Well, that's the problem.
You're an amateur.
You think I'm supposed to be impressed with that?
I actually own the original Indiana Jones jacket.
I found the maker in the UK and they make them now custom made to your measurements.
You can choose whether you want the Raiders one, whether you want the Temple of Doom, which is a slightly different cut, or whether you want the Last Crusade.
Chris, I own one of those jackets.
One day I will let you touch it.
Well, you know, when it comes to film memorabilia, you are one of the greats.
For sure.
Certainly.
Oh, man, that's a that is a wonderful thing.
I might have to order one of those.
I will send you the link.
It's to say it's called the Western Leather Company.
You can choose goat skin, lamb skin.
It's just absolutely Alright, there's no paid promotions for the Indiana Jones jacket in this show.
Let's talk about what he was carrying in that satchel that he rescued for the villagers at the end of the movie.
It's the Shankara stone.
Which Willie is very excited about because it's got diamonds in it.
That's the rock they took from the village.
It's one of the Shankara stones.
Why does it glow like that?
Shh!
Peace.
It's so cold.
The legend says when the rocks are brought together, the diamonds inside them will glow.
Diamonds?
Diamonds.
Diamonds.
Diamonds?
Diamonds.
Diamonds? Diamonds?
She wants the diamonds.
She is a high class lady.
You mentioned Kate Capshaw who gets married to Spielberg after this.
She has been called one of the most irritating squeezes in any of the indie movies.
Talk to us about...
Back to follow, you know, from Ms.
Ravenwood in Raiders.
I do like the Nazi villainess from Last Crusade.
Talk to us a little bit about Kate Capshaw's performance.
I think she's meant to be annoying, Chris.
She's a ditz.
That's her point.
The character is a ditz.
Of course.
She's written that way.
I don't know if that was George Lucas getting his back at his wife.
I'm not really sure what was going on there.
Yeah, she definitely was in a bit.
I hate to speak ill of Kate Capshaw, especially because I've met her daughter and she's an absolutely lovely woman.
She was on Grey's Anatomy for years, her daughter.
But Kate Capshaw is super annoying in this movie.
Actually, when I got done with the film, I thought to myself, yeah, everybody says it's so dark.
Everybody says it's so dark.
And when I was a kid, I thought the same thing.
But I do believe, and this is kind of a brutal thing to say about her, I believe if she was not in the film, the film would be about twice as good.
She's so obnoxious the whole time, screaming and yelling, wah, wah, wah.
She screams a lot.
She screams a lot in this movie.
There's one good scene, the scene that we're playing right now.
This scene is the only justification for her being in this film.
The sexual banter here is really goes back to the Clark Gable to the 1940s.
This scene is actually well written and well acted.
Don't you think, Chris, as an actor?
Oh, it's not just well written and well acted.
It establishes something about Indiana Jones that we haven't really seen yet in Raiders, which is that, you know, he can seduce a woman.
He's like he's a bit like James Bond.
He's he's a little bit like you said, like Clark Gable.
He's got that panache.
He's got that charm.
And he and it works really, really well.
The lines are great here.
It's not exactly how a man and They would speak in a really great film, you know, maybe from the 40s or something like that.
And they do it really, really well here.
Even when I was a kid, I loved these scenes.
And then afterwards, it's even better that, you know, he says something she finds offensive.
So she says, no, no more foreplay.
He storms out.
And they said, you'll be back.
And he says, no, no, no.
And then what happens is they're seizing the bad guys, the Kali Ma, come to kill Indy.
And then the real adventure begins underneath the Pancord Palace.
We are talking Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom.

Ah, dessert.
Chilled monkey brains.
I'm a dinosaur.
Ah.
AHHHHHHHHH!
uh Uh, gruesome but so funny and real kind of kid's humor, the chilled monkey brains, the beetles, the stuffed, you know, snake with the eels inside.
Let's just mention here and then immediately dismiss all the garbage-wokery how This film was an insult to India because Indians don't eat monkey brains and how the whole movie is about white savior syndrome because the white man has to save the poor brown children.
Chris, why do these people not have a capacity to just enjoy movies that are actually fictional?
At the beginning, that whole concept of you're insulting them and you're embarrassing me, that is kind of a recognition that you should respect these people, you should respect their culture.
Certainly, you've got to take a little bit of liberty from here and there just to make the film a bit of fun.
He wasn't eating monkey brains and the snake surprise or whatever it is.
You know, all these gross-out things.
It wasn't to defame the Indians.
It was for kids to have a little bit of a laugh, you know?
I mean, we can look at this now and say, it's a little bit silly, it's a little bit stupid.
But when I was a kid, you know, people were really talking about that.
Like, kids in school were talking about this scene, you know, because it was just... I mean, it was... I still remember to this day, going to school, and kids are like, oh my God, did you see the monkey brain scene, you know?
It really was evocative at the time.
I don't know if anybody had ever done anything like that in a film.
And a lot of the stuff in this movie is like that.
And the music, the score comes on and it creeps you out.
Everything about this film was something to remember.
Whether it was silly or it was epic, you remember so much about this movie.
And this scene is no different.
I love this scene here before the party when Short Round runs through the palace petrified by the Indian dancers who are gyrating behind him.
Let's spend a moment on this actor.
It was his first role.
His brother actually went in to audition, not him, and he was just waiting outside.
And they asked him to audition as well.
He got the role.
We'll see him again in the following year in Goonies.
Yeah, I just thought this kid was great.
Some found him irritating.
Let's have a little montage of Mr. Short Round.
Who are you?
Wow!
Holy smoke!
Crash landing!
Short Round, step on it!
Okey dokey, Dr. Joe's.
Hold on to your potato!
Potato!
Crying out loud as a kid driving the car!
Oh!
I think we got a big problem.
Dr. Joe!
Dr. Joe!
Shorty!
Dr. Joe!
No more cash!
You cheat, Dr. Joe!
You cheat!
Use the full card!
You pay now!
No mistake!
No mistake!
I'm very little!
You cheat very big!
You cheat!
You pay money!
You owe me ten cents!
Look at this.
Look at this!
You know, a film has cachet and has cultural impact.
In the Gorka household, with my wife, with my children, we regularly use the phrase, holy smokes, Dr. Jones!
And we regularly say, you cheat big, I cheat little.
This kid, I thought this was great.
Oh, fantastic.
You know, when I was a kid, I loved that guy.
I wanted to be that kid's friend, you know, watching this movie when I was little.
But it's it is funny because I did talk a little bit about how Willie is like the most annoying character in a in an Indiana Jones film.
And yeah, unfortunately, that is true.
But this kid is fantastic.
And in fact, I kind of was, like, disappointed that he wasn't in more Indiana Jones films.
I mean, they could have brought him back for at least the more recent two that I don't believe actually exist.
I try to put them out of my mind.
But do not disconfirm those two films do not exist?
I believe, yeah, I believe that is correct.
Yes.
Scientifically proven that they don't exist.
They're just a figment.
They're a figment of our deranged imagination.
But Short Round just won like an Academy Award.
You can't bring it back for another Indiana Jones film?
Come on, guys.
That's a really good question.
Why on earth did they not bring him back for those two abortions of sequels that are absolutely appalling?
We might mention one by name later, given the fact that Eric said something completely outrageous to me before we started the show.
We are talking Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom, the dark one, the dark sequel.
With our buddy Chris Coles, he of the Alpha Critic YouTube channels and the Mr. Reagan channel.
Subscribe today, follow him on social media, MrReaganUSA.
A century ago when the British raided this temple and butchered my people, a loyal priest hid the last two stones down here in the catacombs.
So that's what you've got these slaves digging for, huh?
They're innocent children.
They dig for the gems to support our cause.
They also search for the last two stones.
Soon we will have all the five Shankara stones.
And the thuggies will be all powerful.
What a vivid imagination.
You... don't believe me?
You will, Dr. Jones.
You will become a true believer.
Quite the antagonist, Mulleram, the head of the Kali cult underneath the palace of Pancourt.
We'll talk about that in a moment.
The religion that they, or the cult they represent is a real one.
I just texted Eric something that is a funny confluence that I will discuss momentarily that has to do with With how I am a PhD today in the link to Indiana Jones.
No, I'm not an archaeologist.
Now, if you're gonna have an adventure movie, Chris, you gotta have a great hero.
And Indy is like, I mean, is there a better hero than Indy out there?
Maybe there's Rick from Rick's Cafe.
Maybe if you want a rogue, you've got another Harrison Ford part.
You've got Han Solo.
But, you know, for people of our generation, you know, it's the archaeologist professor.
But you've got to have a good antagonist.
The late Indian actor who played Malaram, I think you'd agree, a pretty scary and great antagonist.
You know, you know, a lot of the casting in this film, I mean, just about everything except for the female lead.
Let's not talk about her again.
All of the casting other than that was absolutely phenomenal.
You know, that that actor that you said he couldn't speak his lines in English.
I think this is something that we've lost in modern cinema.
I don't know why they're not casting properly.
We talk about this.
I saw the most recent Indiana Jones film.
It was absolutely detestable on my flight here.
It was horrible.
But let me just change the subject real quick.
I did do a little research about this film just before I came on today, and I learned three things that I think are important.
One, the thuggies were real, which I think you're going to get to in a moment.
Two, there was a, I believe there was a, in the original script, a short round actually sees somebody get burned and wake up out of the trance, and that's how he knows to burn Indiana Jones.
That didn't make it into the film, unfortunately, which always annoyed me as a kid.
I was like, how did he know how to wake him up?
It was in the script, it just wasn't It didn't.
It ended up on the cutting room floor, I guess.
I don't know.
And third, I believe that they had to stop shooting Harrison Ford for a while because he had such horrendous back pain.
And if only he had had relief factor back then.
What a smoothie!
Look at that, look at that!
Not only does he, for the first time in more than a year, blatantly try and demonstrate he's done some homework before this movie, the fact that he finished watching it about three minutes ago is beside the point, and then he smuggles in a reference to Relief Factor.
Finally, Chris, finally, you're getting the message.
That's how the pros do it.
Nicely done.
Yeah, all of those things are All of those things are true.
They actually, between takes, they had, like, a gurney.
They had a bed that Harrison Ford had to lie down on, because he had, like, a super herniated disc or something, and, you know, he couldn't actually stand all day for the shooting.
There is a scene where he... where the little boy short round is burnt, and then he realizes flame is the thing to take you out of the Kali trance, which otherwise, how would he know that?
But let's talk about the first point for a second, because...
I remembered something as I was watching this movie.
I am Dr. G for a reason.
Because I have a PhD.
I have a PhD, and we can put it up on the screen, on the difference between religious and political terrorism.
The thesis is called, Content and End State-Based Alteration in the Practice of Political Violence Since the End of the Cold War.
Subtitle, The Difference Between the Terrorism of the Cold War and the Terrorism of Al-Qaeda, The Rise of the Transcendental Terrorist.
That is my PhD thesis.
And I talk about religious terrorists, like Al-Qaeda, and the comparison to political terrorists, like the IRA, the Irish Republican Army, and how the difference between them shapes how you respond to them.
And one of the groups I cover are cults, especially the Thagi.
And this is why it was such a touchy issue for India to allow this movie to be filmed
there.
And finally they refused, because the Thagi were real.
They lasted for more than a century.
It was a sect that worshipped Kali, the goddess of time and destruction.
And they would inveigle themselves into pilgrim caravans and in the middle of the night strangle,
strangle the members of the pilgrim caravans with a scarf in honor of Kali, their goddess
that they worshipped.
So this was a real thing.
It lasted for a long, long time and was finally bussed up by a British Police officer.
An imperial police officer who actually penetrated these organizations with undercover assets.
So the Thuggee are real.
If you want to know more, check out my first book, Defeating Jihad.
But Chris, this is a... Let's get this out of the way, because it's a great movie.
It's a dark movie, but man, how dark is it?
Couple of things.
The heart.
Ripping out your victim's heart as it's still beating.
And then lowering them into a lava volcano pit.
Then child slaves, as you mentioned.
The whipping of child slaves.
And then this scene.
This scene really disturbs me to this day.
When Harrison Ford has been given the blood of Kali to brainwash into becoming a murderer.
And then this psychotic paroxysm as he's being brainwashed.
This is not a kids movie at this point, Chris.
Yeah, it does get pretty dark.
I mean, they're almost crushed very early on.
The infamous, we are going to die line is spoken in that moment.
You know, it starts out, they start out their adventure from the palace.
Walking through a I don't know what you'd call it like a corridor of insects Kind of vile gross-out insects some some skeletons just pop out randomly from this the wall that collapses Yeah, it's definitely meant to haunt people.
It's like a haunted house movie almost, you know you're just going from one gross-out scene to the next and You know, terrifying scene.
There's even a roller coaster ride at the end.
Look, they were when they were making this movie.
I do think that they were trying to make it adventurous, fun.
They were trying to surprise you.
They were trying.
They were just throwing everything out at the audience.
You know, people complain about it.
But again, you know, when you look back from today, it's just so much better than Which is considered the worst of the first three Indiana Jones films, is still, you know, a hell of a lot better than anything they're producing today.
And it's just, it was just so much fun for me to watch this.
I really, really enjoyed it.
Which, when I was a kid, I didn't care about it quite as much because there were two other films that I thought were much better.
But now, looking back, I just absolutely love it.
I don't care that it's dark.
I love this movie.
Eric, what did you say about this movie and another movie that doesn't exist, Eric?
I said, and I, you know, I'll stand by this.
I'll take a bold stance on this.
I actually like Crystal Skull better than this movie.
Chris, help me out here.
Crystal Skull!
They think gunpowder is magnetic!
What?! !
I don't know what to say.
I don't know what to say.
The refrigerator scene was... We're taking this issue to HR.
I'm appealing that.
I'm taking my staff member to HR.
We are talking making movies great again.
Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom coming to you from the reliefactor.com studios
Hi, baby!
The other one!
The other right!
Your other right!
The one on your right!
I'm inside!
I can't do it.
You can do it.
Feel inside!
You feel inside?
Do it now!
Okay!
We are going to die!
How many times have people imitated Indiana Jones through that little hole in the wall saying, we are going to die?
If I had a penny for every time, I think I'd be a millionaire by now.
We're making movies great again.
Last, last chance for talking about...
Just things that we haven't mentioned already.
Any negative aspects and a rating, of course.
I want to talk about the final scene, which is so cinematic.
On the bridge, with the sword, telling Short Round, telling Willie, buckle up, because I'm going to cut this bridge in half.
Just the composition and the shooting.
I'd love to see this on a 70mm widescreen today.
Let's play that clip as well.
Shorty!
Chow-Chee!
La-Tsu-Tsang-Tsa!
No, no, lady!
We're going for a ride!
Oh, my God!
Oh, my God!
Is he nuts?
He's no nuts.
He's crazy!
Molo-Ram!
Prepare to meet Kali in hell!
No! What are you doing?
No!
Hold on lady, we're going for a ride.
Quite, quite the spectacle.
Final thoughts on the second Indiana Jones movie?
You know, there are just so many visual gags in this movie, so many tricks, so many stunts, stuff that Spielberg thought, you know, let's not talk about this.
Let's show this.
Let's use this, you know, use this scenery.
Let's just use, you know, use a look or something.
And everything is so Like, you know, when she loses the diamond in the ice, for instance.
Yes.
When he closes the door to the plane and it has the villain's name on the side of it.
You know, so many moments like that in this movie.
I mean, Spielberg really is the master of visual storytelling.
And from beginning to end, like you said, I couldn't check my tweets.
I couldn't check my text messages.
I was glued to the screen.
I loved every minute of it.
And like I said, maybe it's just nostalgia for the 80s, but there is something magical about these films that we've just lost today.
I too, I find it funny, I too watched the last movie that doesn't exist as I was flying on a plane because I bloody well wasn't going to pay for that movie.
What absolute bloody garbage.
Alright, so the movie cost a piddling $28 million and grossed $333 million.
dollars and grossed three hundred and thirty three million dollars quite
quite impressive I want to do a little shout out a little tribute to the late
great Pat Roach the British actor and wrestler who appeared in all three of
the original Indiana Jones movies First as the bald mechanic who was chopped up by the propeller blades, then as the chief mine guard in this movie, and then he returns as a Gestapo officer in The Last Crusade.
And he was actually a professional wrestler in the UK and a star of the small screen as well.
So God rest Pat Roach.
Okay, what are we going to measure it out of?
Are we going to grade these movies out of 10?
Are we going to do Monkey Brains, Shankara Stones, Minecarts?
I leave the choice.
There's only three, but we're going to grade out of 10.
All right, Chris Coles.
There were five.
They were digging for the other two.
Yeah, the other two.
Oh, and by the way, By the way, Dan Aykroyd is in this movie.
Yeah, Dan Aykroyd begged to be in this movie.
He's the shipping or the aircraft agent that helps him get on that plane that actually belongs to Lao Che, that they don't know is the chief villain.
That's his plane.
All right, so we're gonna find five extra Shankara stones somehow, because, you know, we can do that.
This is Hollywood.
And we're gonna grade for a modern audience, in your case.
And I'm gonna grade for the panoply of all great movies.
Chris, how many Shankara stones out of 10 do you give Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom?
You know, everything 80s is popular now.
You know, I'm hanging out with this girl from the Netherlands the other day and she's, you know, she's 24 years old and she's listening to We Didn't Start the Fire and all kinds of like, it's weird stuff from the 80s.
I'm like, why are you listening to this 80s stuff?
She's like, oh, my dad introduced it to me, you know?
So I do think this stuff is popular.
I do think you can have nostalgia for stuff that existed before you were born.
I'm gonna be generous.
I think a modern audience is going to love this movie.
It does feel like an 80s film, but in the best way imaginable.
I gotta give it 9 out of 10 Shankara Stones.
Wow.
I think that's fair.
I'm gonna... You know what?
In the great scheme of things, we gotta give Raiders 10.
I'm going to give this 9 as well.
I think I'm going to give it exactly the same score.
I think I'm going to have to concur with my friend.
I'm thrilled.
9 Shankara Stones out of 10 for a modern audience and for the eternal audience of great, great movies.
Okay, my pick this time, Chris, can I take you back in time?
Can I go back?
This is a little bit earlier than any movie we've ever made.
We are going to go to a movie that is connected to another film we've already reviewed.
That one is King Kong.
I'm going to take us to 1932.
A movie made by the same people who made King Kong with some of the same actors and actresses.
It's an incredible film.
Remade dozens of times.
Next week, Making Movies Great Again is the most dangerous game.
Are you ready?
Oh, wow.
Wow.
The most dangerous game.
Yes, I am definitely ready.
I'm definitely ready.
It's actually a short movie.
It's black and white, but it's absolutely stunning.
If you haven't seen it, watch it, watch it, watch it, because we will be dissecting it next week.
