the the
the Lincoln Riley, an innocent young woman who was killed by an illegal.
That's right.
But how many of thousands of people being killed by illegals?
To her parents, I say, my heart goes out to you, having lost children myself.
I understand.
But look, if we change the dynamic at the border, People pay these smugglers $8,000 to get across the border because they know if they get by, if they get by and let into the country, it's six to eight years before they have a hearing.
And it's worth taking the chance of the $8,000.
But, but, if it's only six months, six weeks, the idea is it's highly unlikely that people will pay that money and come all that way knowing that they'll be able to be kicked out quickly.
Mike Johnson's face.
Sitting behind that man.
I didn't watch the State of the Union.
I had something much better to do.
I was at the movies with my son.
But of course, we have to discuss it.
We're going to be sharing with you the most important parts of it.
I have my disagreements with Marjorie Taylor Greene.
Oh, good afternoon.
Happy Friday.
I'm Sebastian Gawker.
This is America First.
Especially her behavior in supporting Kevin McCarthy.
But she did something right last night.
First, she rolled up to the State of the Union in a red MAGA hat.
And then think about this.
This kind of tells you the mental decrepitude of Joe Biden.
Hey Jeff, do you think Joe Biden knows who MTG is, who Marjorie Taylor Greene is?
Maybe.
That's a maybe, right?
But you're rolling in 20 minutes late to the State of the Union, and you see a woman who's clearly on the floor of Congress, so that means they're a Congresswoman or Senator, and she's got a red Trump hat on, and he actually shakes her hand And then take something from her.
Isn't that weird, Jeff?
I mean, of all the people you probably shouldn't be hanging out with and taking stuff from, it's the person wearing the red MAGA hat from the other team.
If there's someone that's going to set you up in that room last night, she's like the top three or four people that are going to do that.
Bingo.
So she, you can see the footage of him arriving late and then, you know, all the bloody stupid greeting and meeting like they've never seen Biden before.
And Chuck Schumer grinning like the Cheshire Cat.
And then Marjorie Taylor Greene gives him a pin, a badge.
With what?
With the name of Lakin Riley, the 22-year-old nursing student who was brutally murdered, her skull caved in by a Venezuelan illegal who was paroled into America by Joe Biden's Department of Homeland Security.
Paroled into America.
And then arrested multiple occasions and released from the holding cells in New York by Alvin Bragg after he endangered a minor and then went on to kill Lakin Riley.
So halfway through the speech, a speech in which Biden didn't mention anything that really mattered and lied through his teeth, Marjorie Taylor Greene decides to heckle him and say, Her name.
To force him to recognise Leighton Riley's name.
And he has the badge in his hand that she just gave him with her name and he can't even say it correctly.
Oh, Jeff, who's Lincoln Riley?
Who's Lincoln Riley?
This is your field, right?
He's a college football coach for USC.
Okay, thank you.
Play this again and listen to how he gets the name wrong twice, then what he says about who killed Lakin Riley, and then what he says after that about a word that was banned by the left.
And the word is illegals.
Let's just play that cut again.
Please, Eric.
Lincoln, Lincoln Riley, an innocent young woman who was killed by an illegal.
That's right.
But how many of thousands of people being killed by legals?
To her parents, I say, my heart goes out to you, having lost children myself.
I understand.
But look, if we change the dynamic at the border, People pay these smugglers 8,000 bucks to get across.
Stop it.
Shut him up.
Eric, he said there Lincoln Riley twice.
He said, killed by an illegal.
We're not allowed to say that.
What is it?
What is the latest term they have?
As Pelosi lectured on news coverage afterwards, undocumented migrants.
Undocumented migrants.
And then he says, what about the thousands killed by illegals?
What is going on with his brain at that point, Eric?
Even more so than that is something that the radio listeners can't see when he says, you know, to the parents of Blake and Riley, my heart goes out to you.
He's looking up at the gallery.
Who's he looking at?
They weren't there that night.
Yeah, they were invited by a member of Congress and they didn't attend, which is absolutely expected given the grief is so fresh for that family.
And then, how about this?
How about this, dear listeners?
How perverse.
It's really quite evil, really, if you think about it.
He says, I can relate.
What do you mean you can relate?
Because you've lost children?
Your first wife was killed in a car crash with her children.
Okay.
That's a tragic event.
And then your other family Beau Biden dies of brain cancer as a, you know, an adult.
What the hell has that got to do with a beautiful young woman murdered by an illegal alien?
I can relate.
What do you mean you can relate?
A traffic accident and cancer.
What has that got to do with your policy of letting millions of illegals into America?
Absolutely nothing!
But you're prepared to exploit the death of your children under accidental circumstances and as a result of cancer with the death of a woman who died because of you.
Let us be clear here.
Your government used the parole system, which has only ever been used in very special, extenuating circumstances.
When a foreigner needs to come here to testify as a witness in federal court, or to get some exceptional medical treatment not available anywhere else in the world, they are given temporary access to US territory under the parole system.
This isn't prison parole, this is, you know, Department of Homeland Security and the State
Department.
Your regime has used the parole to provide legal cover for millions, millions of illegals
in this country.
And your Democrat colleagues in New York released Jose Ibarra after multiple crimes committed by a man who was paroled into America by your Department of Homeland Security and then he brutally murdered Lakin Riley.
So much so, her skull was caved in to the point at which she couldn't be recognized.
But you can relate.
What are the stakes?
There are no greater stakes.
The future of the Republic is on the line.
Because we are run by people who hate our country and don't care how many people die at the hands of illegals, fentanyl overdoses or war.
I'm Sebastian Gawker.

Mm-hmm.
And that monologue.
Something like, her name was not Lincoln Riley.
Oh, good!
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Good, good, good.

Yeah, we're working on it.

Welcome back to America First with me, Sebastian Gorka, and Peter Schweitzer.
Wow, Jordan Peterson was in Congress yesterday?
George Santos was there too.
He announced he's going to run for Congress again.
How did that not get in the news?
I guess the State of the Union is not a good day to have a hearing.
Is Mr. Homan there?
Yeah, I testified yesterday.
Then I went to the State of the Union after that.
I got pissed off twice.
I bet you did.
But I'm glad to see you're finally on Twitter.
Yeah, my staff talked me into it.
I'm finally there.
Oh, I guess me telling you to do it for years wasn't enough, right?
Dude, I hate social media, but...
I'm sorry, but I'm not a fan of social media.
I'm not a fan of social media.
A man, a legend, a legal immigrant, Dr. Sebastian Gorka.
I just found out that our next guest was at the State of the Union yesterday.
Not only that, he also testified before Congress as well.
Wow, Jeff, nice job, nice job.
Also, nice job to the Alliance Defending Freedom.
What would you do if your religious liberty were threatened?
If you're like Jack the Cake Baker, or if you were forced to take a vaccination against your beliefs at the cost of losing your job, who would you turn to?
Could you fight it by yourself?
Would you have the money to take the case all the way to the Supreme Court?
That's tough, right?
Well, it's not if you have the Alliance Defending Freedom on your side.
Whether it's Jack the Cake Baker, whether it's a young boy called Liam, 12 years old, in Massachusetts, who was punished by the local public school because he dared to wear a t-shirt that said, there are only two genders.
The Alliance Defending Freedom takes these cases, doesn't take a penny from the clients, and fights them all the way to the highest court in the land.
Thanks to people like you.
Next time it could be you.
But in the meantime, they're fighting for all of our religious liberties and our First Amendment rights.
Please make a donation today to make these cases possible.
They've won a dozen already in the Supreme Court, and they've got two in front of the bench right now.
Make a donation for $100 or $10 or whatever you can afford to secure all of our freedoms.

All right, there's a new movie out on our website, salemnow.com.
Here's a very short clip.
And after last night, it's very, very important.
There's possibly 20 to 50 Pakistani nationals.
Possibly on the terror watch list coming through right behind us here in Eagle Pass.
Where a federal judge has ordered the Biden administration to stop cutting that razor wire and allowing the illegals to come in.
When I was living in Iran, their teachings is about destroying America.
And they believe that they will destroy America within.
You can't put the policy of your country in the hands of evil people.
That brings us back to the realization that elections have consequences.
To discuss that new movie and his upcoming gala at Mar-a-Lago, a good friend of the show, and now he's on social media.
Tom Homan, happy Friday.
Happy Friday.
Tell us about, we'll talk about what happened yesterday, we'll talk about your gala coming up at Mar-a-Lago, but tell us about this new documentary.
Do we need a documentary?
Do Americans not understand the seriousness of the situation?
You know, we do need a documentary because if they're not watching, you know, Fox or Newsmax, they don't know there's a border crisis because no one else wants to talk about it.
And so I think the more people we educate, The more people get to the voting booth in November, that's going to vote for border security.
I think we need to educate as many people as we can.
Hopefully, we have to educate Trump people, right?
Because Trump people are aware that the border is a mess.
But we've got to educate the rest of the people that he's going to need to get the White House back.
So, I think it's the perfect timing for it, and that's one of the reasons we created Border911.
Educate as many people as we can before November, so they can get in there and vote for border security.
Well, I think we have the flyer for the event at Mar-a-Lago.
The website is border911.com.
Your reaction to the clip I played at the opening of the show where Joe Biden couldn't even pronounce the name of the beautiful 22-year-old girl, Laken Riley, murdered in Georgia?
First of all, we've got to remember that April 4th is about Mar-a-Lago.
We've got a great Master of Ceremonies named Sebastian Gorka.
I didn't want to mention, I didn't want to say anything, but you know, I think this is like the second time in my life I've been... When we said we needed Master of Ceremonies, I immediately said Sebastian Gorka.
So, I'm pleased that you're going to be there.
It's awesome.
Before we finish that topic, so this is the gala for your new organization, Border911.com.
Who have you invited in addition to the Masters of Ceremony?
Who else is going to step up on this stage at the America First headquarters?
We got all of the Border 9-1-1 team, most of us are in the Trump administration.
We created the most secure border in my lifetime.
We got Rodney Scott, who's the Chief Border Patrol, Mark Morgan, CBP Commissioner, myself,
ICE Director.
We got Sarah Carter from Fox, who's a 20-year investigative journalist on the border.
We got Derek Moss, who retired as the Director of Special Operations for DEA.
He knows more about fentanyl and drugs than anybody.
Then we got Jason Jones, who retired from Texas DPS as head of their intel.
He's an expert on cartel and how they operate.
So we got the best of the best on stage.
We also have Matt Whitaker, we got Cash Patel, we got you, we got Rob O'Neill, the man who
killed Ben Maher.
He's going to be there.
We got Marjorie Taylor Greene going to be there.
We got Mark Green, the chairman who's actually impeaching my office, is going to be there.
We got a lot of folks going to be there, so we got a hell of a crowd.
And we probably got the big man himself.
I just can't announce it yet.
Not Joe Biden, not the big guy.
No, not your band.
I was already irritated because I did testify yesterday.
It is the Border 9-1-1 Gala, April 4th at Barilogo.
Go to the website border911.com.
That's border911.com.
Tell us about the State of the Union.
Yesterday you were there and also what you testified on.
You know, it was already irritating because I did testify yesterday.
It's the same old, same old.
I mean, I made it clear in my opening statement that we had the most secure border in my lifetime.
Every president I've worked for, from Ronald Reagan to Donald Trump, took some steps to secure the border because they understood you can't have strong national security if you're on border security.
No one did more than Donald Trump, and I made that clear, and I read off the data points that proved the end was a secure border.
Then I added that Joe Biden's the first president in the history of the nation who came into office and unsecured a border.
And I presented that by facts and data.
But I said, look, I get it.
The other half of the room isn't listening.
You don't care.
when I leave here saying nothing is going to change.
Biden's not going to secure the border because he wants an open border.
You guys are going to try to flip the script saying you passed a border bill in the Senate
and Republicans refused to take it up.
So it's Republicans following the border.
You didn't do nothing for three years.
Not a thing for three years of slow to flow.
So now an election is coming up, you know, illegal immigration is on top of the list
of concerns and now you're going to act like you're doing something.
And that border bill in the Senate wouldn't accomplish squat.
And on top of that, Joe Biden has all the power he needs to sign an executive order and seal that border down,
just like Donald Trump did.
Hang on, let's be clear here.
He begged for executive powers to create emergency status.
He, Biden, dissolved the emergency proclamation President Trump put in place to secure the border as soon as he was sworn in.
Correct, Tom?
Yes, and you can unsign them tomorrow, if you want to.
You can put your Remain in Mexico program back in tomorrow, because the highest court in the land says it's legal.
So after leaving that joke of a hearing, because, of course, the Democrats, they still think, you know, Trump is a terrible person, and they want to accept the fact that we have the most secure border, then I've got to go to the State of the Union and listen to that guy.
And what I did, by the time I left the State of the Union, I wanted to throw up, because yesterday I realized, I bet you did.
We're out of time.
The website is Border911.
I'll see you, and hopefully, 45 in God willing, 47 as well, at Mar-a-Lago April 4th.
We've been talking to Tom Homan, at RealTomHoman on Twitter, Border911.com.
Your cause next here on America First.
Uh, title for that.
Um... We had the most secure border ever, or something like that?
Um... Yeah, that's good.
Alright.
Funny thing actually, in that footage of the trailer I was playing,
one of them was a former ICE or Border Patrol agent named Victor Avila.
He was another one of the guys who ran in the same primary that Brandon Herrera ran in.
Oh!
Yeah.
Huh.
From the sounds of it, it sounds like Herrera's pretty cool with all three of the other people he ran against.
It sounds like they all support him, uh, in his runoff.
Interesting.
Alright, what have I not heard?
Oh, yeah, play 13 again.
13!
Oh, actually, no, play me the whole DJT.
Play me 14.
According to Tom Holman, according to Brandon Judd, the top people, they said it was the single best border we've ever had in recorded history.
What's happened now is a horror show.
The country, our country, is being laughed at all over the world.
Over the past three years, Biden has actively aided and abetted the importation of millions and millions of illegal alien migrants and resettled them into your communities.
At any time during the past three years, crooked Joe Biden, and he is crooked as you can be
and the most incompetent president we've ever had, could have called off the invasion.
But to this day, he is keeping the hordes of illegal migrants and illegal aliens pouring
into the country.
By the time his term is up, we can have close to 20 million people in our country.
And we have no idea from where they come.
We have no idea who they are.
They have no identification.
Many come from mental institutions.
Many come from prisons.
They're terrorists.
We have a calamity the likes of which we've never seen before.
The very first bill Joe Biden sent to Congress was a plan to turn illegal aliens into voting citizens.
That's just what we need.
No matter what Crooked Joe says, his actions prove his priority is to import a colossal new illegal alien population and let them all stay.
My priority is securing our border and sending Crooked Joe's illegals back home.
Likewise, the sight of a feeble Joe Biden talking about Shrinkflation, the term he uses, is one of the most ridiculous things this country has ever seen.
Shrinkflation is just another way of saying inflation.
It means that you're losing a lot of money because these people don't know what they're doing.
It was all caused by crooked Joe Biden and the people that surround him.
And they are radical left Marxists and fascists and communists and socialists.
We have people running our country, the likes of which we have never seen before.
He and the communists and his party looted trillions of dollars from you and spent it on illegal aliens and the Green New Scam, triggering the highest inflation in many, many decades.
If your packages are getting smaller, that's the reason why, under my leadership, there was no inflation.
We had the greatest economy in the history of the world.
Mic's off, Alex.
Real quick.
I'm going to be doing a video on the new version of the game.
I'm going to be playing it on the Xbox 360.
We leave no one, no one behind.
The pandemic no longer controls our lives.
The vaccines that saved us from COVID are now being used to beat cancer.
What did he say?
The vaccines?
You mean the ones that President Trump warped speed?
Those ones?
You're using them to cure cancer?
Was that actually in a teleprompter?
Unbelievable.
All right, the call board is full.

Let's go to Hawaii!
Tom, happy Friday.
Oh my, I'm off topic, sir.
That's alright then.
All topics are open on a Friday.
Okay, thank you.
I was a long-time Rush Limbaugh fan for over 30 years.
Oh, you must be a very wise individual.
Well, I was Honolulu's first Tea Party candidate, and I got on the Honolulu City Council back in 2011.
Wow.
And the reason why I'm calling is in 2011, Rush Limbaugh had made some talk about the Chinese dictator, and some left-wing nutjobs in California and Congress said, let's get Rush Limbaugh taken off the air, and they decided to use government resources To remove rush.
It was the first tactic used.
Let's use government resources like they do in communist countries.
So fast forward, the liberals here on the Honolulu City Council decided to take it up.
So there was a resolution heard on February 23rd of 2011 on Resolution 11-34 CD1, because I know you want to verify things.
You're telling a really long story, Tom.
I said I've got a full call board, so I know you want to talk about a particular person, so can you cut to the chase, please?
Yeah, I'm sorry.
I'm so nervous that if Trump picks Tulsi Gabbard as his VP, Kamala Harris will go back to that vote And expose on national television that Tulsi voted to cancel Rush Limbaugh.
I'm concerned.
So hang on, explain.
How are they going to use legislation in Hawaii to cancel Rush Limbaugh?
With what tools?
The resolution said he was a racist, homophobe bigot.
I've sent it to you on Twitter.
But how do they cancel him?
You can say the moon is made of cheese.
How would they have canceled him?
It said the following, if Rush Limbaugh on Clear Channel Hawaii, if Rush Limbaugh does not apologize for his comments, we're going to use government resources to boycott the sponsors.
Yeah, I need to see that.
I mean, look, she's a disaster.
She's a kook.
She believes in conspiracy theories.
She makes apologies for the murderer Assad in Syria, but I'm interested in that.
Stay on the line and give Jeff all the details.
I need to see the verbiage of that resolution.
Let's go to John in line two.
Sebastian, this idiot is whining about inflation all of a sudden.
He's so dumb, he doesn't understand.
This is a scam that has been going on between the Democrats and big business for decades.
Instead of raising prices, they take certain products and they make them smaller and lower the prices.
And the BLS, Bureau of Labor Statistics, does not count that as a price increase.
Then, When a Republican gets in office and the economy does well and everybody wants to jumbo-size back, well then they'll raise to the large size again and raise the price accordingly so that the price per ounce didn't go up, but the Republican gets nailed with the inflation that the Democrat had, and this is worth at least two to three percentage points of inflation
It's a ratchet that only works one way, John.
Well, it works both ways.
It hurts the Republicans.
No, no, no.
I mean, in terms of the price, right?
Yeah.
You never get it back.
If things get better, they never say, oh, well, we'll give you a discount.
It is an ever-tightening ratchet.
Yeah, the whole shrink-flation thing.
Actually, we have President Trump's video for before the State of the Union where he addresses exactly that.
We'll play that later.
Thank you, John, for your call.
I'm Sebastian Gawker.

So I told you I was in the movies yesterday because I wasn't going to sit at home and watch
The State of the Union.
I love movies.
We review them every Friday.
Today we've got a Corker.
Don't miss the third hour of the show.
And recently, one of the films I was allowed to see before it came out, it premiered yesterday, is an amazing story.
It's a beautiful film, but it's also true.
Here's a little clip from Cabrini.
Our New York is being threatened by a wave of brown-skinned filth.
They just keep coming.
We ought to ship them all back.
We have to show America we are all people of dignity.
I want to build an orphanage and give the abandoned children the love they so badly need.
If you're asking my permission, no.
Your mission is over, Mother.
My mission has barely begun.
It's an incredible film.
I wish it all the success.
The man behind the curtain, the patriot behind so many amazing films, and he's executive producer for Cabrini, is joining us right now.
We're delighted to have with us Eustace Wolfington.
Mr. Wolfington, welcome to America First.
Hello Sebastian, thank you for having me on.
So I was so grateful to you and Jason James for inviting me to the pre-premiere showing a few weeks ago.
First things first, why is it that nobody seems to know about Well, you know, it's what really drove me to make the movie.
about female saints, American saints, everybody who knows anything says,
oh, oh yes, the first one, that's of course, Anne Seton, Saint Elizabeth Anne Seton.
Why is this story of the Italian immigrant who built orphanages, hospitals here in New York?
How has that story been so forgotten?
Do you have a theory?
Well, you know, it's what really drove me to make the movie.
I first met Mother Cabrini spiritually back in 1955.
I was 23 years of age.
And I went to this church to find an early mass.
And I saw this woman, the priest made a nine week novena,
nine weeks to tell her story.
I went to it, and I was so amazed, and I had never heard of her before, and I'd gone through 12 years of education and never heard her name.
So she's just probably one of the greatest Italian women that ever lived, and she's forgotten.
I think a lot of it has to do, she was at the turn of the century, there was no television, no airplanes, all there was was the newspapers, and she was well-known then, but I think over time she's been forgotten.
So you have some great people in the movie, famous names.
David Morse plays the Bishop, other big Hollywood names.
But you did something very daring by going with an Italian actor to play the lead, Mother Cabrini.
And I have to say, she's perfect.
Was that a tough decision for you to make, to go with somebody who's not from Hollywood, is Italian, isn't known?
Because it worked, but did you have trepidation when you decided that?
Well, you know, Scorsese was going to do a movie on Mother Cabrini with Loretta Young.
Loretta Young had gone to him and said, I want to play Mother Cabrini.
They got the script done.
They just never got the movie done.
So I called him on the phone.
I said, can I buy the script?
They didn't have the script.
But he said, I'll give you a tip.
Get an Italian actress.
And we had not been planning on an Italian actress.
So I have to really give credit outside of ourselves for that.
We made Mona Cabrini the executive producer of this film, and believe it or not, she really took over.
I mean, David Morse, Jean-Carlo Giannini, all these great actors just fell into our lap, so to speak.
Yeah.
The timing was perfect.
Yeah, yeah.
I forgot to mention John Lithgow plays the rather corrupt mayor of New York at the turn of the century who doesn't want this upstart Italian immigrant threatening his power.
Giancarlo Giannini who you'll recognize from the Bond movies.
But Cristiana Dell'Anna is absolutely perfect for the titular role of Mother Cabrini.
We've got about a minute left.
We're talking to Eustace Wolfington, the executive producer of an amazing movie premiered yesterday.
You can watch it at angel.com slash cabrini.
Why should everyone watch this movie?
You don't have to be a Catholic.
You don't have to be an immigrant.
You don't have to be Italian.
It's beautiful to behold.
But what is your message to the three and a half million Americans listening right now to this radio show?
Our message is that we made this movie to make it a universal movie with no preaching, non-denominational, so everyone would come and fall in love with this woman.
The way it's worked is people come into the film, they say, I'm very upset about life, the broken world, I'm fearful of the future, but I come into your film and I walk out and I'm lifted up.
I had a memo last night from a gentleman who had just come from the film.
He said, I just lost my son, 39 years of age to cancer.
I just had a mission in Haiti that's being blown up.
He said I was really down and ready to quit.
I went to see the Cabrini movie.
I got lifted up.
And now I'm encouraged to go forward again.
The movie inspires anyone who sees it.
It's a must-see movie.
It's a must-see movie for everyone and anyone who comes to the movie.
The first thing they say is, I never expected this.
Right.
Number two, they say it's the best movie I've ever seen or one of the top three.
And the next thing is everybody has to see this movie.
Let me just reiterate after having seen it.
Thank you to you and Jason for letting me and my wife see it.
It's not just beautifully shot.
It's not just a beautiful film.
The most amazing thing about this inspirational movie is it's a true story about a true saint.
God bless you.

The person who is second most excited to be on camera, Alex, should we review actual movies?
Yeah, why not?
Don't get too excited.
I mean seriously, just calm down.
Can we get some press screeners though?
Can you just calm down?
What do you mean fresh screen?
Hold on, like before they get released, you know, like a... Oh yeah, yeah, yeah.
Hold on, Biden just said he shouldn't have said illegal and he has a new term for him.
Eric, grab this clip, it is great.
Do you know what the new term is?
It's the one, it's like, uh, welcomed or something.
No, technically not supposed to be here.
What?
Yeah.
Just play it.
The medicine wore off.
Play it.
One second.
Go, go, go.
Mr. President.
Do you regret using the word illegal to describe immigrants last night, sir?
Well, not probably.
Technically not supposed to be here.
Oh my gosh.
I'll use that here.
Because I invested in the family farm that was led by my Secretary of Agriculture who
knows more about this than anybody I know.
We're better able to stay in the family for those farms and their children and grandchildren won't have to leave, leave home to make a living.
It's transformative.
Did you speed that up, Jeff?
Is that Ben Shapiro or is that Biden?
That's what I was going to say.
That was Biden.
He did that a lot last night.
He was in and out of it.
Was he on speed or LSD or what?
Go watch that speech.
There is no way.
Whatever he was pumped up with, they tripled it, quadrupled it, I don't know what it was.
But I think it's worn off this morning, right?
As bad as this presidency is and it's bad, as bad as he is, the moments like this make it tolerable.
But the meds have worn off, right?
Oh, they've worn off.
Okay, because he said illegals yesterday and he's already left the White House because, hey, it's Friday.
And he was asked about using the word illegals.
Listen to his reply now.
It's a little bit slower than it was yesterday.
Play cut.
Do you regret using the word illegal to describe immigrants last night, sir?
Well, not probably.
I don't regret it.
Technically not supposed to be here.
We've got the new answer.
They're not illegals there.
Technically not supposed to be his.
Okay?
Technically not supposed to be his.
Alright, I've got literally two minutes.
A minute each.
Let's start with Phil in Philly, line one.
Hey, Dr. G!
Yeah!
You know that these Dems love unaccountability when it comes to money.
What is stopping carloads of people from New York, Detroit, Chicago, L.A., Philly, heading down that border, line after line after line, grabbing those Visa cards and coming back up here to fuel their ballot houses that they're paying for people to fill out.
I haven't even thought about that.
Americans going down there, picking up their $10,000 debit cards.
Dude.
Alright, I'm gonna have to think about that one.
Stay on the line, Phil gets one of our new hoodies, the 9-0 Supreme Court decision.
God bless you Phil, that's great.
Alright, we've got another minute, let's squeeze in our buddy Brent from Los Angeles!
Greetings, Great Gorka Man!
Gorka Man, I thank you, thank you, thank you.
Give us your take on last night, Brent.
Well, I'm sorry I had to miss the Democrat predator-in-chief deliver his state of satanic disunion speech last night.
Instead, I was honored and elevated to attend the brilliant and righteous President Larry Arnn's lofty and inspirational Hillsdale speech that he delivered at the Waldorf Astoria in Dana Point, California.
And he laid out clearly and simply how America, being led by Hillsdale College, can again resurrect our blessed children from Democrat darkness, duplicity, and the devil by creating child-adoring and respecting schools built upon teaching faith, freedom, love of learning, and personal character development.
Instead of the godless indoctrination centers graduating blind and broken sheep that can believe in the wicked words that Biden and his ilk scream, shout, and screech.
Oh my gosh, we love Larry Arm.
We love Hillsdale.
We've got 10 seconds left.
What was the actual topic of the essay or the speech?
It was about our schools and politics and how we can reconstruct them.
Wow.
I'm going to reach out to Larry.
I want to hear that speech.
Thank you.
I had no idea it was in California.
Much better than watching the State of the Union.
Thank you, Brent.
One hour down, two to go.
And of course, it's making movies great again in the third hour.
Don't go anywhere.
This is America First.
you you
Oh America first.
Magnificent.
Friday just kind of creeps up on us lately.
We're moving at the speed of Trump.
The news cycle is insane.
It is Friday.
It's Second Amendment Friday and we are so delighted to have, I think it's our third or fourth year, Car Firearms as our Second Amendment sponsor.
Car Firearms.
There's a reason I carry a nine millimeter car because This company not only produces superb firearms, they also understand what the Second Amendment is about.
Justin Moon, their CEO, and all of Car Firearms stand by Americans in their support of the first civil right that makes all the others possible.
Check out their amazing line of weapons at KAHR.com.
They also own the iconic Desert Eagle line of hand cannons and the historic auto-ordnance weapons including the M1, the venerable Tommy Gun, In the legendary 1911.
Check them all out at KAHR.com.
That's KAHR.com.
All right.
We have to check in with my former colleague in the White House.
Now he is back where he should be as attorney to President Trump and his senior advisor, the baron Boris Epstein.
Happy Friday.
Happy Friday.
It's an honor to be with you and an honor to be with your audience.
Now, don't tell Fibs, because I fessed up at the top of the show that I was at the movies with my son last night and I didn't watch the State of the Union live.
Where were you, Baron?
I unfortunately did subject myself to it, but thankfully I had President Trump's play-by-play on Truth Social going, which was a historic powerhouse and hysterical commentary on pathetic, decrepit, illegitimate crook of Joe Biden, so it made my night.
Well, I think we're going to play the whole of that video at the end of our hour here, because it's so good.
We've got a two and a half minute clip that's so good about the President's pre-State of the Union address, which was epic.
But let's talk about what happened yesterday.
So first things first.
The irony, the rich irony, Baron, of Biden being 20 minutes late, probably because of all the pro-Hamas, pro-terrorist demonstrators that were blockading the route of the presidential convoy to Capitol Hill.
But then how about this?
Before we talk about the state of, it's not the state of the Union, it's the state of the grumpy old man, there was a hot mic moment with Jeff, who's the favorite senator of yours who Joe Biden's talking to on this hot mic?
That's Senator Bennett out of Colorado.
And you love Senator Bennett because he's so intelligent, right?
No, I think he's one of the absolute dumbest Democrats that there are, and I love listening to him on TV.
He does have that kind of... Well, how did you describe him?
You described him as what?
The rich kid who just, you know, has the Senate seat given to him, right?
Yeah, the trust fund kid that gets the Senate seat given to him.
It looks like he's high all the time.
Well, he is from Colorado.
All right, perfect description.
So he is an idiot because Biden's talking to this senator, doesn't realize there's a camera in front of them recording them, and then he says something really quite disgusting.
If you don't hear it, I'll repeat it, but it's quite stunning.
Let's play Cut 2 for the Baron.
Great to meet you.
I was telling your secretary and everyone else in Jordan, and he was reading the Bible cover last weekend, and he said, you know, you've got to keep pushing what you're doing on the humanitarian stuff and all this stuff, so... I told him, maybe you can show me pieces.
Maybe you want to come and see.
That was good.
So the Democrat Senator is fawning, is saying, oh that was such a great speech, so really
And then the topic of Israel comes up.
And Biden says the following, Barron, I told Bibi, you need to have a come to Jesus moment.
What kind of a statement is that, Barron?
Well, it's one of two things.
Either Decrepit, crooked, psycho Joe Biden forgot that Bibi Netanyahu is Jewish.
Or he's just that anti-Semitic and disrespectful, and I'm not sure which one it is.
Right.
But what I do know is that the Biden administration has been a disaster for the Jewish people in the state of Israel.
Anti-Semitism has skyrocketed in the United States and across the world, thanks to Joe Biden.
Joe Biden has sent, maybe it's six, maybe it's fifty, maybe it's a hundred billion dollars, because of how oil's gone to the terrorist state in Iran.
And the terrible events of October 7th happened on Joe Biden's watch, would have never happened.
under President Trump's watch. President Trump kept Israel safe, kept the Jewish people safe, and now
you know my people are in a horrible place and disgusting policies,
anti-Israel policies, from the Democrats and the Biden regime are to blame.
Yeah, let's get substantive.
That was absolutely unbelievable.
But let's talk about the speech itself.
First, kind of echoing the, you will reap the whirlwind, Gorsuch.
You will reap the whirlwind, Kavanaugh.
The threats made by Chuck Schumer to the Supreme Court.
We have Biden seemingly threatened the Supreme Court as well.
Cut six.
Many of you in this chamber and my predecessor are promising to pass a national ban on reproductive freedom.
My God, what freedom else would you take away?
Look, it's a decision to overturn Roe v. Wade.
The Supreme Court majority wrote the following, and with all due respect, Justices, women are not without electoral power.
Excuse me, electoral or political power.
You're about to realize just how much you've arrived at.
So two things I'd like you to react to.
First is, you're just about to realize their power.
What is he intimating there?
And then secondly, the response.
It's like a cult.
The second he makes that threatening overture, the Democrats start screaming like performing seals.
We don't live in an America that We used to 10, 20, 30 years ago.
We don't live in an America of Democrats of years gone.
We are now in a place where there's one side that's rational and pro-American and patriotic and another side that has just absolutely lost its mind.
And that's what used to be the Democrats and now are just the radical communists.
And that's what you had there.
Yes, Joe Biden, whatever's left of him, is trying to stare down at the Supreme Court justices and threatening them, just as you said.
I mean, that's a scene out of a third-world country.
But that's all we have.
The weaponization, the lawfare, all that Joe Biden led, the indictments against President Trump, his opponent.
That's what it is.
We are now a third-world country.
And the only way we get back from the brink is by electing President Trump and bringing him back to the Oval Office.
All right, so I could play you lots more clips, but you know, you're a seasoned political hand.
I was on Congressman Andy Biggs' podcast earlier today with a lot of fun, and I asked him the same question I'm going to ask you, because I can't quite work it out.
That was a campaign speech.
It wasn't a State of the Union.
He mentioned your boss and my former boss 13 times.
And it was just a complaint and a screed and propaganda and ranting.
What was the point?
Who's the audience there?
Because he didn't... I don't think he moved the needle for anyone.
So what was the logic of the speechwriters or the White House?
Do you have a theory?
Of course, it's to stop the bleeding internally among the pathetic base, among the radical left, among the deranged socialists and communists.
That's what it's all about.
But if you're eight months before an election, that's a really bad sign that you're having to staunch the bleeding of the base and you're not trying to target undecideds.
That means he's in big trouble, doesn't it?
He's in huge trouble.
I mean, all the numbers are showing it.
He's in trouble with African-Americans, Hispanic-Americans, in trouble with those who have a college degree, don't have a college degree.
He's in trouble all across the board.
Biden is absolutely bleeding support everywhere because he's not a real, legitimate, powerful leader.
I mean, you look at everything from the moment of a disastrous pullout in August of 2021, where 13 Americans died at the hands of crooked Joe Biden because he let them die.
Everything that he and his team have attempted to do or done has been to the detriment of our country.
And the country knows it.
We don't have a border.
We don't have energy independence, let alone dominance.
We don't have a real economy.
Everything's just propped up on air.
And the whole country knows it.
The Democrats have already lost Ohio and Florida for good.
They know that.
So now they're worried about shoring up the rest of the base.
They're worrying about losing New York.
All right, we're out of time, but I'm going to squeeze in one more clip because you mentioned it.
Here's Gold Star father Steve Nicoy, who lost his son, a Marine, during exactly that surrender of Afghanistan.
He heckled Biden and was arrested last night.
Cut seven.
All Americans deserve the freedom to be safe.
And America is safer today than when I took office.
The year before I took office, murder rates went up 30%.
30% they went up.
The biggest increase in history.
It was then, through my American Rescue Plan, which every American voted against I'm mad at, Yeah, your American rescue plan that every American voted against?
What do you mean?
Are you senile?
Did you mean Republicans?
And what about your rescue plan for those Marines who were murdered on your watch?

Once again from GuloGulo88, and I did get their contact information, by the way, to send them the merch from yesterday.
First one, for $3, quote, there has been more suffering on U.S.
soil during the Biden administration than at any time since the Civil War.
Oh, that's interesting.
Then follows up with another donation of $1, saying, Yes, I know that my paid post requires a comparison to the Great Depression.
Considering we are seeing thousands sold into human trafficking, fentanyl deaths, crime, etc., I think my point correct.
That's interesting.
All right, we'll share that.
All right, gotta do ADF here.
Is there any audio for ADF today?
There is, right?
Alex?
Yes.
Hello?
Hello?
Alex said yes.
Can I hear it?
Is your mic not working, Alex?
Audio check, one, two.
Yeah, can I hear it?
Can I hear the audio?
Yep.
All across the country, parents are being intimidated by their schools to push different ideologies on them.
City ordinances are forcing women-only shelters, allow males to sleep right next to women who have been abused in the past.
And so these threats are all across the country for every American.

Hang on, hang on.
That's not what I need.
Uh, Curt and Jim.
This is what we need.
I'm sending it to you now.
Okay.
Sorry guys, I've got to move.

That's cut three.
Then I'll do ADF.
Three, then ADF.

Wow!
That sounds good.

The vaccines for COVID are curing cancer.
Has anybody, Jeff, have you seen anything in the last 12 hours to try and justify that?
Well, Biden's a guy you can take at his word, though.
You don't need to fact check him.
But didn't he say at the beginning of his administration he's going to cure cancer?
The cancer moonshot he talks about all the time.
The cancer moonshot.
Unbelievable.
Truly stunning.
Dear friends, in recent years the left has ramped up its efforts to erode our rights with everything from men competing in women's college sports to attempts to prevent parents from even seeing what their children are being taught in public schools.
It is literally a battle that the ADF, the Alliance Defending Freedom, needs your support to fight.
Listen to Rachel Rulo of ADF on what is happening all over America.
All across the country, parents are being intimidated by their schools to push different
ideologies on them.
City ordinances are forcing women-only shelters, allow males to sleep right next to women who
have been abused in the past.
And so these threats are all across the country for every American.
We operate to ensure that everyone has religious freedom, and we can't do it without people
who are willing to partner with us.
There are very few organizations that have the legal knowledge and the backbone to fight
for our religious freedom.
ADF is one of them.

Okay, somebody who I know was glued to the television set last night because he likes a good comedy skit was our good friend.
He's coming from some sunny beach somewhere.
Colonel K. Kurt Schlichter.
Welcome to America First.
Thank you, Dr. Gorka.
I'm out here enjoying... I'm catching some rays because they're demolishing my first floor.
I hope it's not the enemy, and I hope they're not using artillery fire to demolish your first floor.
I have to say, I'm curious.
I didn't tell you I was going to ask this question, but you have been a commander.
You have been responsible for men under your command in the U.S.
Army.
If you ever had to deal with drug issues, given that experience with people beneath you, does it not make you wonder what Biden was on last night?
Let's just play this little clip.
The cut one, the first few words here, I don't think they're in English and I think they're being delivered at the speed of Ben Shapiro, so I'm curious what you think he's taking.
Cut one.
Because I invested in family farms led by my secretary of agriculture who knows more about this than anybody I know.
What did he say there, Kurt? And what illicit substances do you think he was on?
It sounds like he's channeling Boomhauer and King of the Hill.
You know, when I was guest hosting for your compadre Hugh Hewitt yesterday, I asked that question and I got a
an ENT came on and he said, it's cocaine.
The little baggie is his?
The little baggie is the big guys?
Well, I mean, look, we know it's available.
You know, my experience with Bolivian marching powder is pretty much watching Ellison die hard.
But I don't know.
He was hopped up on goofballs, Dr. G. They injected him with something and then, you know, like the battery, the old rechargeable battery that very suddenly loses power.
This was him today.
He had one item, one item on his White House calendar.
It said 11 a.m.
Leaving for Wilmington for the weekend.
That was his program today because I guess the drugs were wearing off.
And he was asked about his faux pas using the word illegals as he was getting on the Air Force One mini staircase.
Play the cut and listen to the speed of delivery.
Do you regret using the word illegal to describe immigrants last night, sir?
Well, not probably.
I don't regret it.
Technically not supposed to be here.
Technically not supposed to be here.
I guess whatever it is, it wears off pretty quickly, Colonel K. It does.
You have to note that the mainstream media's big concern wasn't the alien who bashed in the brains of a young American citizen.
It was that Joe Biden was mean to him.
That's how we differ.
Because I would have treated him considerably worse than calling him what he is.
Perfectly put, perfectly put.
All right, we're going to discuss in the next segment your blistering article on the state of the U.S.
military, but in a couple of seconds we have left here.
You're a seasoned observer of political matters.
I'm going to ask you the question I asked Andy Biggs on his podcast today, and my former White House colleague Boris Epstein.
What was the strategic purpose of yesterday?
Because it was a moan fest, an angry old man complaining, mentioning his predecessor 13 times.
It didn't seem to have much political utility.
What needle were they trying to move with that speech, Colonel Kaye?
Look, I think they were moving the needle to the already converted.
If you look at the New York Times or the Washington Post, he was fiery and aggressive!
Yay!
And if you're a frustrated suburban wine woman, MSNBC viewer, or a male-identifying neuter, You probably found it pretty exciting.
I think normal people looked at him and said, I can't believe this freak has his bony finger poised on top of the big red button.
We need a change.
And maybe we ought to change it back to the guy who was doing pretty darn well four years ago.
Well, we'll talk about what he will have to do if, God willing, we get him re-elected when it comes to the state of the U.S.
military with senior columnist for townhall.com, our buddy, Kurt Schlichter, the author, most recently, of The Attack.

How is the sound so much better outside in the wind than it is inside your house?
It's because there's no reverb.

Ouch.

What did you say, Alex?
It's because there's no what?

Oh, reverb.
So what are you having done?

All right, so I'm gonna tee up Cut 12, then we'll discuss his article.
Will you just play Cut 9 for us?
When the president came in, we were so excited to see him.
His welcome was overwhelming.
What was more important is, after he spoke, it was even more overwhelming.
And what we saw is what we will continue to see.
A message is only as important and as repeated and reinforced, not only by the principal, but by the members of Congress as well, throughout the country.
So it was a triumphant evening, regardless of the Republican response.
Well, it's infectious.
I walked into that room.
I've been to a whole lot of these speeches.
But I was so excited by how Biden presented himself and what he said.
The speech showed that America is strong and Biden is strong.
And anyone who sat in that room would have no doubt that Biden is ready for a great second campaign and even more, a great second term.
Did you enjoy that?
You know, sometimes you just have to scratch your head.
First of all, Nancy Pelosi has gotten old.
Yeah.
Man, she's Biden-ing pretty hard.
I don't understand why we have to have a gerontocracy now.
At least the Republican old guy had the good taste to say, hey, thanks, I'm out of here by the end of the year.
Yeah, right, right.
Alex.
Yes, sir.
Can you come in with the breaking news, Lina?
Copy.
And you said you want to use Cut12 here?
I will, yeah.
Actually, could you come in with the president's latest and then breaking news?
Cut14?
No, no, no.
The latest presidential liner and then breaking news.
A combo.
What's the breaking news?
Oh, you shall hear.
You shall hear.
We have declared you as the next Secretary of Defense.
Oh God.
Gorka? Did I see the Gorka man?
Yeah, stand up Gorka, quick, get up!
How good, how good is he, Sebastian?
Seb, they call him Seb, I call him Sebastian.
America first.
I love that.
Hey, where's my breaking news car?
I need my line of breaking news, Alex.
Big news.
No?
Pretty please?
Oh, by the way, do we have the result, Eric, of the poll?
With breaking news, here's Sebastian Gorka.
Is this show being run by ghosts?
I don't know.
Let's... I'm so out of sync now.
This team is just... I think it's a Friday.
They've all checked out.
Their Biden chemicals have also run down.
We had the poll on the website.
Do you like my old nickname, Dr. G, or the new one the president gave me at CPAC of Gorka Man?
Eric, what are the results?
We've been running it for about a week now.
What are the results?
This is the biggest landslide I've any seen in any poll on SebGorka.com.
Which nickname do you prefer?
Dr. G versus Gorka Man?
Dr. G with 76% to Gorka Man's 24%.
Woah!
What's wrong with Gorka- Jeff, are you shocked that Gorka Man, the president's nickname, didn't get more votes?
But we didn't put in the poll the president's nickname.
If there was a video of you saying that, it would have been 90-10 the other way.
It's like an endorsement.
A Trump endorsement is gonna sway it.
Smart.
Alright, what's the breaking news?
We're sharing it with all of you.
It just happened about half an hour ago.
I forgot to mention it.
This is cool.
Lara Trump is the co-chair of the RNC.
Wow.
Eric, are you excited?
Oh, I'm absolutely thrilled.
Between her, Chairman Michael Whately, and Chris LaSavita, COO, a complete takeover on behalf of the America First movement.
Big things happening!
It's our party now, guys!
Alright, let's get back to our Friday guest, who is sunning himself on the porch for various reasons that will go unmentioned.
You wrote an amazing piece in Town Hall a couple of days ago.
On President Trump being able to fix the military.
The good news about our failing military, Trump can fix it.
I want to get to that in a slightly circuitous route, and I want to really pump up your blood pressure until the veins in your jugular start pulsating.
This clip was found by Mr. G. It is meant to be a comedy skit from Comedy Central, but I think it'll piss you off.
Let's play Cut 12.
There's just people coming in.
They're causing, uh, you know, havoc and craziness.
There's chaos.
Shouldn't you be welcoming?
Don't you have any empathy for the journey they've taken together?
They're not welcome.
Get the hell out of our place.
You can't move around with seeing them.
You can't get a meal in a restaurant.
Can't get a hotel room unless you're willing to pay $400.
Wait, who are you talking about right now?
The state guard.
From Florida, Tennessee, Arkansas, Idaho.
Oh.
What you need to be afraid of is some of these convoys of people.
You're talking about Central American caravans.
No, we're talking about the people that are invading the country here, not the Mexicans.
The invasion here is from Governor Abbott and the Trumpers and the MAGA people.
Yes, Eagle Pass has been overrun since Governor Greg Abbott declared a crisis at the border
and sent in the Texas National Guard, attracting a flood of Republican governors,
congressional delegations, and even billionaire weirdos.
This is our taxpayer dollars.
Enough, enough, enough. So that's a comedy skit at Eagle Pass, Texas, saying the invasion problem we have, Kurt, is
the U.S. military protecting the border.
Yeah, that's about as funny as a tumor, Dr. G.
You know, look, the left has always held our military in contempt.
We saw that last night when the family of one of the Marines killed, protested, and ended up arrested.
The terrorist supporters who blocked the president's route to Capitol Hill, they weren't arrested, but the guy who said, hey, your incompetence killed my son.
And I know that family.
I have had dealings with that family.
I am disgusted by these people.
They use the military as a prop and as a petri dish for their bizarre social pathologies, and they're getting our people killed.
I'll give it FCC.
Yeah, keep us in compliance.
That's part of your latest article, the perversions they're imposing upon the US military and the fact that they haven't won a war in 30 years.
It's a very grim picture you paint, but in the last minute we have with you, Kurt, what's the upside of your diagnosis in Town Hall?
The upside is that the military is a hierarchical organization that responds to a commander's time and attention.
If President Trump devotes time and attention, like an hour a day, to fixing the military, the military will be fixed very, very quickly.
A lot of people need to be fired.
There need to be some figurative heads on some bikes.
But he needs to make clear we are not a joke military.
We're not a bunch of transsexuals.
Our job is to deter war or to kill the enemy if we can.
It's not to drop, you know, supplies on people who just murdered Americans and are currently holding them hostage.
It is not to run away from a bunch of past doomed pedophiles with our tail between our legs and 13 coffins like we did in Kabul.
And when you kill Americans like If you've been suffering from daily pain, tried everything else and failed to find relief, please try one more thing.

This is going to be a little bit different, Second Amendment segment, because usually we talk about manufacturers, new guns, content providers doing cool things with things that go bang.
And this time, we've got, well, we're going to do something on transition.
It's not transgender, but it's trans career.
We've got a guy who's one of the best content providers on YouTube.
He has a thing for Soviet semi-automatic and fully automatic weapons.
But now he wants to do something else with his life.
He wants to save the Republic from inside the swamp.
We're delighted to have back with us the AK guy, Brandon Herrera.
Happy Friday, Brandon!
Happy Friday, Seb.
How you doing?
Also, that was a very remarkably smooth way to call me trans right there in the middle.
If I don't see that, if I don't see that on Cursed Gun Memes or your next video, how gawker.
There's got to be a title.
Gawker!
Slams me as trans.
If that's not on your next video, I will be very disappointed.
Okay, Brandon, tell our millions of listeners across the nation, in Texas as well, in the 23rd District as well, what crazy thing you've embarked upon, and then what happened to you a few days ago, Mr. AK Guy?
Well, as it relates to Second Amendment Friday, I unfortunately live in a district where my congressman, Tony Gonzalez, repeatedly voted against the interests of Texas, including on gun
control. He voted with Joe Biden and Nancy Pelosi on the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act, which was
really just 17 turncoat Republicans.
It wasn't bipartisan. But he just continued to make bad votes. And you know what? I decided
I'm going to enter the primary. I want to see if we can get a bad Republican vote
out of Congress and get a good one in. And just on Tuesday, we won.
We ended up taking him to a runoff.
And so he was not prepared.
He was not financially prepared for that to happen.
And I think he's sweating bullets right now.
And you sent me a photograph after the primary where your Rhino opponent, he looked like he'd been crying.
Do you get the sense that he's rather worried now, Brandon?
I've heard it from many, many people that he is extremely worried, and now he's fighting a primary runoff that he was not prepared to have to fight, which is good, because that was what we wanted to do this entire time, even if we couldn't make it happen, if we couldn't get elected.
I wanted to be able to show an establishment puppet that, hey, if you vote against the interests of the people, we can primary you and we can win, that you're not invincible and your actions have consequences.
And by taking him to a runoff, we've already accomplished that message loud and clear.
But now I think we can finish the job.
Well, I know you because of the amazing channel.
You've got millions of subscribers now on YouTube.
Everybody go to The AK Guy on YouTube and check out this man's political website, BrandonHerreraForCongress.com.
But we got to meet a couple of times in person, most recently again at SHOT Show.
But I remember distinctly this kind of trepidatious phone call I had with you not too long ago where you said, Can I ask you some advice?
I'm thinking about transitioning and I want to get into politics.
And I gave you some harsh advice, some honest advice.
Tell us how you've fared now that you've transitioned or are still transitioning.
What's it like?
What's this journey been like for you to step into politics?
Well, that's one of the reasons why I asked you is because I don't want cushy advice from friends.
I want harsh advice from friends.
I want reality.
It's been interesting, to say the least.
It's taken a lot more time, energy, and money than we thought going in.
But I was pretty close to what I thought it would take, and it clearly worked out because we were able to accomplish our goal and take an establishment rhino to a runoff.
Now, I know you were triggered by his anti-Second Amendment positions, but now that you've been knocking on doors, you know, wearing out the shoe leather, What are people talking to you about in the 23rd Congressional District?
Are there trends?
Is it the border?
Is it the economy?
Or is it really 2A?
It's definitely the economy, but I think the biggest issue right here in District 23 is the border.
I mean, District 23 has more border frontage with Mexico than any other district in the entire country, and it's by a good margin.
It's a huge border area, and there's a lot of small towns out here.
There's a lot of areas in Eagle Pass, in Del Rio, Fort Davis, El Paso, places that feel completely abandoned, and they have to deal with the border crisis while their congressman kills Immigration bills in committee.
You know, bills that are put forward by guys like Chip Roy.
People that actually want to solve the border crisis.
Do they make a connection to the person in the White House, to the people you talk to make the connection?
Oh yeah, yeah.
There's a lot of Republicans here that they don't feel represented by their president and they don't feel represented by the Republican congressman who's supposed to be the one fighting stuff.
Last question, and this is the one that's going to get you in trouble.
Forget all the trans stuff.
If we get you elected, Congressman Herrera, are you at least going to keep posting about the 50 Cal 8K?
Will you at least do that?
I think I can commit to that one pretty easily.
You know, like all jokes aside, going to the Capitol and seeing, you know, somebody like Matt Gaetz's office and being in his office and seeing his podcast studio set up that he has there, you start to realize, hold on, I think I can make this work.
I think we can keep this, keep the YouTube going while also, you know, fighting to spread the message of the Second Amendment while also fighting for the Constitution in person.
Funny you should say that.
I spent this morning in the swamp, which I rarely do.
Don't just concentrate with the fascists on YouTube.
I was in the undisclosed location of Rumble's beautiful Washington studio.
Andy Biggs, Congressman Andy Biggs, had me on his podcast from the official... It was like a speakeasy.
It was an unmarked building.
Walked up the stairs.
Beautiful studio.

Alright, what was President Trump's pre-response to the state of the grumpy old man yesterday?
It was very good.
Cut 14.
According to Tom Holman, according to Brandon Judd, the top people, they said it was the single best border we've ever had in recorded history.
What's happened now is a horror show.
The country, our country, is being laughed at all over the world.
Over the past three years, Biden has actively aided and abetted the importation of millions and millions of illegal alien migrants and resettled them into your communities.
At any time during the past three years, crooked Joe Biden, and he is crooked as you can be and the most incompetent president we've ever had, Could have called off the invasion.
But to this day, he is keeping the hordes of illegal migrants and illegal aliens pouring into the country.
By the time his term is up, we could have close to 20 million people In our country.
And we have no idea from where they come.
We have no idea who they are.
They have no identification.
Many come from mental institutions.
Many come from prisons.
They're terrorists.
We have a calamity the likes of which we've never seen before.
The very first bill Joe Biden sent to Congress was a plan to turn illegal aliens into voting citizens.
That's just what we need.
No matter what crooked Joe says, his actions prove his priority is to import a colossal new illegal alien population and let them all stay.
My priority is securing our border.
and sending crooked Joe's illegals back home.
Likewise, the sight of a feeble Joe Biden talking about shrinkflation,
the term he uses is one of the most ridiculous things this country has ever seen.
Shrinkflation is just another way of saying inflation.
It means that you're losing a lot of money because these people don't know what they're doing.
It was all caused by crooked Joe Biden and the people that surround him.
And they are radical left Marxists and fascists and communists and socialists.
We have people running our country, the likes of which we have never seen before.
He and the communists in his party looted trillions of dollars from you and spent it on illegal aliens and the Green News scam.
Just that last sentence, I think, should be, like, on repeat.
in many, many decades.
If your packages are getting smaller, that's the reason why, under my leadership,
there was no inflation.
We had the greatest economy in the history of the world.
It's time to tell crooked Joe Biden, you're fired.
Just that last sentence, I think, should be, like, on repeat, time to tell crooked Joe Biden, you're fired.

See things you people wouldn't believe.
You want to talk to God?
Let's go see him together.
One night as I lay in my tent with this...
This head of mine.
A terrible thought crept like a snake into my brain.
Hunting was beginning to bore me.
Is that such a terrible thought, Count?
It is, my dear lady, when hunting has been the whip for all other passions.
When I lost my love of hunting, I lost my love of life.
Of love?
I even tried to sink myself to the level of the savage.
I made myself perfect in the use of the Tartar Warbow.
That one up there.
But alas, even that was too deadly.
What I needed was not a new weapon, but a new animal.
Count Zaroff in search of a new prey, a new animal to hunt.
It is based on what is allegedly the most popular short story in American literary history and it became a movie that would be remade Many, many times over, and influence so many other films as well.
We are talking, of course, of 1932's The Most Dangerous Game.
A little bit early for our choice of movies to make great again.
Chris Coles, my co-host, the host of the Mr. Reagan and Alpha Critic channels on YouTube, had you seen The Most Dangerous Game before I chose it for this week's movie choice?
No, no, I hadn't.
However, I had read the short story and this is this is certainly an iconic story.
It's a legendary story.
It's a short story that is taught in schools.
It's one of the few things that was taught to me in school that I didn't think was lame.
We were forced to read this in school.
You know, most things in school.
I was a little bit of a rebel.
I didn't like doing what the teacher Kind of changed something in my brain about how I thought about writing.
And I think that that happened for a lot of people who read this short story.
Now, before this story, there was a guy called O'Henry.
And I think O'Henry is really underrated as an author in the current age.
He's sort of like the first ever Twilight Zone writer.
You write these brilliant twist endings.
And this this film doesn't so much have a brilliant twist ending, but it has a really novel idea.
It's such a novel idea that it was really inspiring and really it really influenced a lot of other authors that came after it.
And this film, I think, encapsulates the story maybe better than any of the others that came to follow it, because it really followed the short story accurately.
And despite the fact that there is this distance between us and the time that this was shot, and maybe people will find this a little bit, I don't know, a little bit stiff, a little bit difficult to believe.
You know, the way that people speak is very different back then.
They may think the acting is a little bit You know, a little bit poor compared to maybe slightly later films.
But you know what?
Once you get into it, it's one of those things like reading Shakespeare.
Once you get into it, it becomes really, really easy to follow and really, really enjoyable.
And I think they did an excellent job with this picture.
So let's talk about the genesis of it.
This short story, The Most Dangerous Game by Richard Connell, 1924, was published in the National Weekly Collier's.
Then it takes quite some time for it to turn into a movie made by the same people.
In fact, four of the actors in this movie reappear a year later in King Kong and many of the sets from King Kong of the Jungle are in fact sets from The Most Dangerous Game.
Here we just have some colorized images because this movie is available in the original black and white and colorized as well.
But it's a fabulous short story.
You can read the short story in an hour.
The film is barely longer than an hour, which I don't find shocking.
I mean, in the age of, you know, interminable Marvel movies that go on and on and on, having a, you know, a 68-minute movie is a lot of fun.
But let's look at some of the posters I found for the original, because this was before the Hays Code.
This was before censorship.
Beautiful artistry.
There you have the villain of the piece, Count Zaharoff, played by the rather melodramatic Leslie Banks, of course a theatre actor who brings his theatre style to the stage.
But look at this, Chris.
This poster This is the shocking conceit of the story that the most dangerous game is man and Count Zaroff is hunting human beings who he has forced to shipwreck on his island and there on the poster you had the heads from his trophy room of the humans the guests that he hunted on his island so I don't know about you Chris but I'm thinking you know this is pretty shocking for 1932 when you walk into the trophy room
And they're human heads!
That's a very modern kind of horror moment, isn't it?
I'll be honest, seeing those heads kind of freaked me out in 2024, even.
And look, you know, this was classified as a horror film back in the day, which I thought was really strange.
Like, I'm reading about this film after watching it, and reading about it as a horror film, I thought, oh, that's...
Today, I think we would classify it as an adventure film or there is something very suspenseful and very, very scary about the idea of this because this is an idea that had never been proposed before.
I don't think we've seen many incarnations of this sense.
You know, we've seen the Hunger Games is probably the most popular example, but there's several incarnations of this, this idea that somebody is hunting another human being for sport.
But this was really the first incarnation of it, and I think the first time seeing it on the big screen, I think, was truly horrifying to our audiences.
Let's have a little clip from the beginning of the movie before they are shipwrecked on the boat that has been lured into the shoals by the fake, fake warning lights.
Here we have our hero on the ship that's about to be wrecked.
I was thinking of the inconsistency of civilization.
The beast of the jungle, killing just for his existence, is called savage.
The man, killing just for sport, is called civilized.
Yeah, yeah.
It's a bit contradictory, isn't it?
Now, just a minute.
What makes you think it isn't just as much sport for the animal as it is for the man?
Now, take that fellow right there, for instance.
There never was a time when he couldn't have gotten away.
But he didn't want to.
He got interested in hunting me.
He didn't hate me for stalking him, any more than I hated him for trying to charge me.
As a matter of fact, we admired each other.
Perhaps.
But would you change places with the tiger?
Well, not now.
So here's the interesting balance.
It's definitely the 1930s.
The music, the clothes, the dialogue, the way the dialogue is delivered.
But never the... On the sets, I mean, the sets could be straight out of Dracula, right?
But nevertheless, It's that central conceit that now we've found a man who's bored with life, so he's got to hunt his fellow man.
The originality kind of negates the issues with this being a film from the 30s, at least for me.
What about you?
Well, like I said, I think there's been so many incarnations of this idea that there is a certain percentage of the audience who will say, OK, we've seen this before.
But you're absolutely right.
Especially if you if you pay attention to the fact or if you are conscious of the fact that this is really the first time this concept has appeared on in cinema.
And, you know, it is an interesting idea.
But I do think that they took You know, with with delicacy, they treated it professionally.
I mean, this is a really well made film and made a lot of money.
You know, it's a powerful film at the time.
And I think there's a reason, like many of the films that we cover on this program, they did a really good job.
And you can see it even if they don't have the technology at the time that we had when they developed Star Wars or today with the computer generated graphics.
You can tell As good as they possibly could.
The performances are excellent.
And, you know, the sets are great.
You know, it's just a great film.
And the damsel in distress is obviously just as wonderful as she was in King Kong.
We'll talk about Fay Wray.
It's the same woman.
Slightly different color hair in this movie.

Keep your voice low and listen.
It isn't true about the launch needing repairs.
I heard it leave the boathouse last night.
It returned this morning.
You mean he's keeping you from returning to the mainland?
Yes.
Well, perhaps he enjoys the company of two very charming people.
Two, maybe.
There were four of us a week ago.
The other two have disappeared.
What do you mean?

At the foot of those stone steps, That iron door?
Yes.
Two nights later, he took the other there.
Neither have been seen since.
They haven't been seen since.
Chris, you're an actor, you're a writer.
Let's be kind here.
The other actors, even Joel McRae, who plays Rainsford, it's a little bit stiff.
Of course, the Count Zaroff, he's a stage actor, clearly, a little bit melodramatic.
But I give props to Fay Wray.
Fay Wray is perhaps the best performance of the movie.
Do you agree?
Well, you know, she's just got an effortless charisma.
An effortless charisma.
There are some actors who are just like that.
Like that.
It's not just actors.
Human beings, you know, there are some human beings.
This particular actress out there in Hollywood and, you know, I think she became a star for a reason.
Certain actors become stars just because they're charismatic.
I think it's something that you're born with.
There's an effortless to effortlessness to it.
And also, I don't know about you, Chris, I'm not a prude, but She spends half the movie in very, very diaphanous, thin, thin dresses.
And when they're running through the jungle and falling in the rivers, it may be 1932, but this is a flipping racy movie, at least for my old eyes.
How about you?
Are you surprised by how racy this was?
I was.
Actually, the thing that was really shocking to me, and I don't remember this from the book, and maybe I didn't catch it, or maybe they added it for the film, There was an added level of danger, an added level of suspense, which was the reward.
Okay, let's explain this.
Do we have a cut here?
Is there a cut relevant to this, Eric, when he talks about what happens after the hunt, or do we have to just summarize it?
I can just summarize it.
Okay, so this thing, I remember, I love this movie, it's been a classic for me for ages, but I too forgot This thing that is repeated again and again by the Count, where he basically says, sex isn't sex unless you're having sex with a woman after you've killed in the hunt, right?
That's the ultimate form of, you know, ambrosia of the gods.
And it's not mentioned once, it's mentioned twice, it's mentioned thrice.
Again, pretty flipping racy, Chris.
Well, it's not just that he at one point, he says, what will be the reward for the winner of the hunt?
Yeah, the reward will be what I was just talking about.
Basically, whoever it is, we'll get to have this woman after the hunt, because that is obviously the best sex that you can have.
Now, this would obviously have been against this woman's will.
Maybe not if it had been the hero.
But this is what he's this is the stakes.
These are the In terms of like a man who cares about a woman and feels like he has a duty to her, you can't really get higher stakes than that.
She's going to be ravaged by this sort of nefarious character.
OK, so he's got to protect her not only from, you know, Well, I think it's really important to protect her from being attacked sexually by this guy by the end of the film.
And they don't say it explicitly, but it is absolutely clear in the film that this is what will happen if he does not succeed.
And it almost does.
He calls her down from upstairs just at the end, just before the conclusion of the film.
So it's it's really like a last second thing that the Despite the fact that it's pre-code, of course, despite the fact this is old film and things weren't quite as racy back then, it adds such a level of intensity to the film that I think people must have absolutely loved this picture at that time.
Yeah, I think it's one of the reasons that it became repeated so often.
I mean, there's even a version with Rutger Hauer They even made a TV show out of this a few years ago.
So The Most Dangerous Game had a massive influence as a story originally.
And then we'll talk about the elements of the movie that you will find again and again in other films from Predator, you know, to Rambo.
We'll talk about that as well.

That's sebastiangawker.substack.com.
So many influences on other movies, all the horror movies, the hammer movies, the castle, the staircase, and of course, Ivan, just like Igor.
Let's have a little, um, tête-à-tête between the Count and his manservant.
Ivan does not speak any language.
He has the misfortune to be dumb.
Oh, hello.
Are you the owner here?
Yes.
Welcome to my poor fortress.
Fortress?
It once was.
Built by the Portuguese centuries ago.
I have had the ruins restored to make my home here.
I am Count Zaroff.
My name is Robert Rainsford.
Glad to meet you.
Very glad.
Ivan is a Cossack.
I'm afraid, like all my fellow countrymen, he is a bit of a savage.
A smile, Ivan.
Ulydnys!
Smile, Ivan.
I just love the fact that he's supposed to be a Russian count, and every word of Russian that comes out of the actor's mouth, Leslie Banks, is made up garbage.
It's just gobbledygook.
It's just blah, blah, blah, blah.
Oh, yeah.
There's not one Slav word in anything he says.
He literally just makes up, throws in a couple of consonants in the odd vowel, and none of it is real.
But, hey, he is a menacing character, is he not?
Quite the antagonist.
Yeah, it's amazing what you can get away with back then.
He is.
He is absolutely fantastic.
Such a character.
And again, this is one of those characters that has become a caricature because he did it so well.
There were many villains that came after him that were sort of based on this character.
And so now it seems a little bit caricature.
But I think this was a sort of early rendition of this kind of character.
But, you know, having a villain like this, You know, incredible sort of like laser focus on this one idea of what he wants to do and having a single hero have to stop and have the damsel in distress.
This is such a simple, elegant story.
It's a timeless story.
It's something, as you said, that influence countless other pictures.
And I think it's something that maybe they are starting to lose in Hollywood.
You know, if they did this film today, the woman would, of course, be the hero and the gentleman would be the damsel in distress.
Like, you know, they keep changing things up.
And I do believe that there is something in human nature.
And I've talked about this on the show.
There's something in human nature that a man wants to protect a woman and a woman wants to be protected by a man.
So when you flip those roles, it never really works.
No man wants a woman to save him from a physical danger.
And women don't really get a satisfaction from that.
But I don't think you can do that film after film after film and have that be satisfying for audiences.
I think most women still want to be saved.
Well, and if you think about when they reverse it, you know, the 80-pound woman, you know, beats up the 300-pound antagonist and saves her boyfriend.
You think, how does that make the guy feel?
I mean, what man doesn't feel like a loser for the rest of his stinking life if he's not the one protecting his girlfriend?
It's like, do they even think of the consequences of what they're doing, Chris, to the audience?
Because, you know, they live in a fantasy version of reality.
There's two realities in America right now.
I keep I texted you this the other day.
It's the difference between acknowledging the ugly truth and hiding within the beautiful lie.
There's a lot of people that prefer to live within this beautiful lie.
And I say it's a beautiful lie because in their mind, it is beautiful.
The idea that, like you said, an 80 pound woman can knock out a 200 pound man.
It just can't happen.
I mean, you know, people get these delusions in their head and they think it is possible, but really, you just can't.
I mean, I've seen a clip Of who was it?
Serena Williams was asked on a late night show.
Will you ever play tennis against?
I don't know who it was.
Andy Roddick or something like this.
One of these tennis players.
Would you ever play tennis against them?
You know, just to show what you can do.
And she goes, No, of course not.
And they go, Why wouldn't you?
And she goes, Because he would destroy me.
She's like, listen, even though I am the best female tennis player in the world, all these
are professional male tennis players. They are stronger.
They are faster.
He will destroy me.
You don't understand.
Like, people get these ideas in their head, but if you are actually at that level, then you really know.
You know, some people have to live in reality.
They have to face the ugly truths of reality, and other people get to hide in their comforter and put their head under the pillow and sleep another 10 hours.
Well, you know, I think it actually happened.
I think the Serena sisters did a challenge match with some high school, you know, ranked male tennis players, and they beat them.
You know, the 16-year-old, 17-year-old... You mean the high school-aged boys?
Yeah, the high school-aged boys beat the best female adult-ranked tennis players.
Because, I'm sorry, you know, truth is, you know, gravity has a certain quality all of itself, and so does testosterone and muscle mass.
So, yeah, I mean, the beautiful lie will also always fail to the ugly truth.
We're making movies great again.
Coming to you from the reliefactor.com studios.
What's the big idea?
I thought that perhaps tonight you would like to see my trophy room.
Your trophy room?
I'm sure you will find it most interesting.
Say, that's a great idea!
Now we're pals!
No more secrets now, huh?
We'll make a night of it!
I hope so, Mr. Trowbridge!
Just you and I, pals!
We'll have fun together, huh?
Precisely, yes!
Fun together!
Ah, boy, Connie!
Oh, boy!
Oh, boy, Connie!
That is Eve's brother, Martin Trowbridge, being taken to his death in the trophy room of the Count, who's about to hunt him down and put his head on a spike in his trophy room.
For me, Chris, this is the only weak point in the movie.
This actor, who kind of shockingly comes back a year later to play Carl Denham, the great hunter and movie maker from King Kong, His character is just, yeah, the counts over the top, a little bit melodramatic, but this sot, this drunk, it's like something out of, you know, the Marx Brothers.
Yeah, no, it was supposed to be the comic relief character and comedy is very culturally specific.
So, you know, it's very, very hard for that to translate.
It's like, you know, sometimes I will speak to especially like Russian girls.
If I'm if I'm hanging out with a Russian girl talking about comedy, she always says American comedy is terrible.
Russian comedy much better.
Right.
And I watch some of the Russian comedians and I'll understand the jokes, you know, see the subtitles, understand the jokes, understand where they're going with it.
And I understand how a joke works.
You know, I understand, you know, how do you construct a joke?
This is very similar to American comedy, actually.
The problem is that you don't get the references, right?
Like if I if I make a joke about Nesquik, you know, they're probably not going to understand that over there.
If I'm going to make a joke about Twinkies, OK, maybe they'll understand because it's such a big cultural, you know, like certain brands that only exist in America.
You're not going to understand over there.
Very specific You can reference another comedian or something else that was funny that happened a year before in a mannerism, in a gesture.
You know, you don't even have to say the words and people will understand it.
That's how subtle comedy can be.
And so what this guy's doing probably was actually very good for the time, probably was very funny.
But yeah, you're right.
It's lost on a modern audience.
He's annoying, is what he is.
And actually, I kind of understand the Count's desire to kill him.
Well there's this whole scene where you know the count is prattling on about something and every 30 seconds they shift back to Martin and he's drinking and he's like getting further back in the couch and then eventually he's lying down with the drink on his chest and it's just it's like a pratfall it's like slapstick comedy you're thinking Yeah.
This is a movie about hunting human beings, but you're right.
The sot, you know, the guy in the blazer and the baggy pants from the club who's a drunkard, that's a character.
That's a 1930s standard character.
So it's very contextually based.
All right, let's Let's talk a little bit, before we run out of time, the influences of this movie.
For me, so many things, whether it's Ivan who becomes Igor, you know, in the Frankenstein movies and Hammer and everything else.
Then when you see the hounds being unleashed, each one of these made me think of the Hound of the Baskervilles and Sherlock Holmes that would be made later with that amazing Basil Rathbone movie.
Or when they're running through the jungle, and he makes the trap of the punji stick.
Oh my gosh, Eric, how did you do that?
You're actually playing it right now.
I mean, this is straight out of Rambo First Blood.
You know, as you've got John Rambo sharpening the punji sticks.
The sheriff's guys come after him.
They get impaled on that.
And then, of course, the 300-pound deadfall trap that he tries to kill the Count with.
Well, that's Predator.
I mean that's exactly, that's the trap Arnie makes in Predator.
So whether it's Predator, Rambo, the Hound of the Baskervilles, or as they're running from the dogs.
I don't know, I'm not a cinema historian, but there's a moment where there's a POV shot, the point of view shot, of them The hero and the squeeze, the heroine, running through the jungle, and it's just the camera pushing the palm trees out of the way.
That is so modern, that POV shot.
So, not just a cracking good story based upon a cracking good short story, but also, I would say, Chris, a rather influential piece of cinematography.
Yeah, there was some some very experimental stuff going on there.
I notice exactly what you're talking about.
The POV shot.
I don't want to spoil the ending, really.
Go ahead.
I want everybody to watch this movie.
I yeah, I will.
I will.
Because I do think this is an underrated film.
It's a film that I've never seen.
I didn't even know it existed until you brought it up the other day.
So I was like, OK, this is fantastic.
I love the short story.
Let's watch the film.
I'll give you two points.
The first point is that Count Zahroff, Zahroff is it?
Zahroff, yeah.
Count Zahroff, he gets stabbed in the back toward the end and he's dying, right?
And they make their escape.
He's not quite dead and he aims his arrow, but the pain is too great and he can't hold the arrow up.
If only he had relief factor, then maybe he would have been able to get a clean shot off.
No, sorry.
Okay, that was just, I was a little being a little silly.
We don't give relief factors to antagonists, only to heroes.
That's true.
That's true.
But in the end, in the end, he can't shoot the bow and arrow and he slowly falls out of the castle.
But he doesn't just fall out of the castle.
He falls out of the castle into the pit where his dogs stay.
And it's implied that the dogs devour him, which is quite a And I think for especially for the time, it was probably quite impactful to the audience.
Even to me, I was like, holy smokes.
You know, this is pretty crazy.
Yeah, really.
You know, really an underrated film.
Everybody should see it.
And everybody should see all the other films that I think are related to this.
All this old stuff, I think, is really great.
Like I said, the whole Henry stories that came before.
There's even a film of Yeah, I can't remember what it's called, but that's the first introduction I had to O'Henry.
I was watching old movies.
Oh, and I love this.
I love this.
We're looking at the log that they climb over.
The log, which we will see again in King Kong a year later.
Exactly the same log.
So iconic.
Yeah, so iconic.
I saw it and I was like, oh man, that's exactly the log from King Kong.
I was like, they reused that set?
Yeah, yeah, clearly they did.
It's just a fun film and I think everybody should watch it.
All right, guys, it is the most dangerous game with Count Zaroff hunting down his new prey, Reinsford, who is trying to rescue Eve, the one and only Faye Ray, with a climax that is rather iconic and very influential.
We'll make notes on that in a moment.
Oh, Reinsford, you'll find this game worth playing.
When the next ship arrives, we'll have gorgeous sport together.
You murdering rat!
I'm a hunter!
Not an assassin!
Come, Rainsford.
Say you'll hunt with me.
Hunt men?
Say you'll hunt with me!
No?
What do you think I am?
One I fear who dare not follow his own convictions to their logical conclusion.
I'm afraid in this instance, Mr. Rainsford, you may have to follow them.
So it's not an invitation.
It is a compulsion.
He must run and become the hunted if he is to save Eve.
That is the second half of the movie.
It's only about 70 minutes long.
It's a corker of a film.
And then we have the denouement.
Zaroff thinks that he's killed Rainsford, but in fact he only shot one of his giant hunting hounds.
And just like Sherlock Holmes came back from the Rickenback Falls, so Rainsford comes back to the Count's castle.
My dear Rainsford, I congratulate you.
You have beaten me.
Thank you.
Not yet.
Not yet.
And I think this is why this is so much fun.
We had a Vulcan mind meld, Chris.
The end of the movie, the hero comes back.
There's a big fight.
Knives, arrows, you name it.
And then he's about to fire the Tatar hunting bow to Eve and Rainsford as they're escaping on his launch.
And he's standing at the window.
And I've got the still because it so grabbed me.
This last shot of the movie, Is he can't fire the bow and then Count Zaroff just falls out of the window to be eaten by his own hunting hounds.
Just the composition of that shot, Chris.
I mean, this is the kind of cinematography we'd expect in the 60s, the 70s, or one of, you know, Spielberg's Polish cinematographers.
This is 1932, Chris.
Yeah.
You know, they really like I said, they put a lot of effort in this picture.
They knew what they were doing.
They hired the best people.
And there is something I think that people will find maybe that the dialogue a little bit, a little bit corny, maybe, you know, but I really like it.
I'll tell you why I like does seem a little corny.
He doesn't have the sophistication of somebody who can speak well.
So he doesn't use sarcasm.
He just speaks very plainly.
He says what he means.
And I think that that is it's so refreshing.
It's something that we've totally lost from the culture.
I think it's something that people will would Even at that time, I think people were being sarcastic.
People were making jokes.
There were moments, in fact, that I thought were actually quite sophisticated in terms of the humor, where Zaroff, when the hero would mention, would say something that Zaroff would think was ridiculous.
He would mimic him and go, oh, do, do, do, do.
Right.
And that's something we do even today.
Right.
And so we've all kind of become the villain in the way that we tease each other and we make fun.
But we just don't have that kind of personality anymore.
That pure of heart personality, because, you know, nobody wants to be corny anymore.
And I think that's sad.
Yeah, he is an endearing hero.
I just feel really bad in this fistfight at the end where that beautiful Luger gets dropped on the hard stone of the castle.
I mean, really, a Luger?
I knew you were going to mention the Luger.
I knew you were going to mention the Luger.
How can you do that?
That's an OG Luger.
Guys.
All right.
Final thoughts.
What have I got noted here?
Yes, a huge success at the time.
Not only would it influence so many more movies to come, it cost $210,000 to make.
Let me repeat that.
Cost $210,000 to make and doubled its money.
Made $440,000 at the time.
$110,000 to make and doubled its money made $440,000 at the time and the shooting schedule Chris was
three weeks This whole movie was filmed in three weeks
They had financial woes.
They had to fire.
There were nine extra characters who were excised from the movie at the last moment.
But still, absolute bloody classic.
It is the most dangerous game.
Read the book.
Watch the movie.
Check out the remakes.
But now, we must rate it out of 10.
Chris, for a modern audience, it's going to be a tough one.
For you, out of 10.
And for me, in the canon of all movies, what shall we rate it?
Shall we rate it by?
Shall we rate it by Tatar hunting bows or Lugans?
Oh, that's a tough one.
Well, I like that.
I think the Tatar hunting bow is very unique to this film.
So let's do the Tatar hunting bow.
Look, it is a very tough film to rate.
I don't think there are a lot of modern people who are going to really love this film.
It is short enough that you can get through it without getting too bored, I would say.
It's an episode of Game of Thrones.
Come on!
Exactly.
Exactly.
But at the end of the day, you need to go back.
You need to watch these classics.
You need to watch the old Tarzan movies.
Yes.
You know, you've been insisting I watch those movies.
So I've got those lined up, you know, on my desktop ready to click.
And so I've You know, there's this old films called The Thin Man Films, which hopefully one day we'll get to on this show.
I absolutely adore these films.
You know, these films have so much to offer that you when I started watching old films, I thought that like I'm talking about this film, there's a lot of stuff in the film that has been overused over the decades.
But there are so much that you haven't It's just been lost to time that you really can only get by going back and watching these old movies.
So look, it's not going to be the highest rated film just because I don't think modern audiences are going to understand or like it as much.
I would love to give it a higher score, but I think I'm going to have to give it something like a six.
I don't think people are going to want to... No, I think given modern proclivities, that's absolutely fair.
Before I give you my rating, a couple of things I forgot.
Apparently the inventors of paintball in the 1980s, they invented paintball based upon this story of a man hunting man, which is also interesting.
And as well, I forgot to mention, Real... it's smacked so often of the Johnny Weissmuller movies, so there's definitely a Tarzan angle there, and hopefully we'll get to review one of those one day.
Okay, in the panoply, the canon of classic movies, most dangerous game... I gotta give it a 10 for its influence.
I gotta give it a 10.
A 10.
10 out of 10.
10 out of 10.
I'm happy with that.
I'm very happy with that.
I pushed the envelope with my choice from the 1930s but now it's your turn.
What are we going to review next week?
Well, in fact, because you push the envelope, I thought we would get back to the sort of traditional fair that we started the show with.
You know, we did Temple of Doom last weekend and that's more sort of standard.
What we do here in the 1980s is sort of our bread and butter here.
So I thought and you might not like this movie.
I don't know.
I don't know if you're going to be happy with this choice.
I honestly I don't know.
But it's a film that I think just needs to be covered.
I'm kind Beverly Hills Cop 2.
Nice.
All right.
Yeah, that's is that the one with Brigitte Nielsen?
I think it is.
I think I believe so.
And he's got the iconic lion jacket.
Yeah.
No, great choice.
Love it.
Great soundtrack.
Hugely influential that movie.
Yeah, totally.
Alright.
Beverly Hills Cop 2.
Alright.
