Sebastian Gorka FULL SHOW: Are they throwing Biden under the bus?

So, I'm going to go ahead and get my laptop.
I'm going to go ahead and get my laptop.
you February 8th, the White House, question.
Mr. President, why did you share classified information with your ghostwriter?
The President.
I did not share classified information.
I did not share it.
I guarantee I did not.
That's not true, is it, Mr. Herr?
That is inconsistent with the findings based on the evidence in my report.
Yeah, so it's a lie, is just what regular people would say, right?
Yeah, alright.
So the next one.
And all the stuff that was in my home was in filing cabinets that were either locked or able to be locked.
That wasn't true either, was it?
That was inconsistent with the findings of our investigation.
Another lie, people might say, right?
Inconsistent with the findings of my investigation?
Those are weasel words!
That's Washington speak!
Special counsel, as was.
Biden was lying!
It's happening right now on Capitol Hill.
The man who, um, I don't know, was he chosen to throw Joe Biden under the bus so he can be replaced?
We have the perfect guest to uncover the truth.
He should be there right now, but He's a good guy.
He doesn't need his three minutes on C-SPAN.
He believes in supporting you, the three and a half million people across America, not just in his district, Texas 22, because he's one of the good guys.
My only trouble is, I don't spend enough time having cigars with him.
And the second trouble is, I don't know what to call him, because I should call him Congressman, or Representative, or I could call him Major, or I could call him Sheriff.
He's just a good friend and a patriot.
Congressman Troy Nels, welcome to America First.
Sam, good to be with you.
I'll reach more people right here with you than I will be in that hearing right now.
That's absolutely true.
That's exactly right.
We have so much to discuss because of your new book, Borderless by Design.
Couldn't be timed better.
We are delighted to have you in studio with us for the whole hour.
But first, since you've left Capitol Hill to come here, as this hearing has been going on this morning, I've got to ask you.
Because you're a straight shooter.
This guy is no Trump loyalist.
He is, as far as I'm concerned, a bureaucrat's bureaucrat.
This report, 388 pages, said, yeah, he committed felonies, he mishandled illegal documents, he wasn't the president, couldn't declassify them, he had stuff from when he was a senator, no skiff, cardboard boxes, oh, but we're not going to prosecute him because he's a senile old guy.
Is this the Democrats finding a way to get rid of this liability?
What's your take on Special Counsel Hur and the whole report?
As a member of the Judiciary Committee.
Yeah, yeah.
A very long report, well over 300 pages.
Listen, the hearing this morning, I think we laid it out there, Chairman Jordan and several others that spoke.
We know that Joe Biden has admitted he knew he had classified documents in several areas, whether it was at his home, his garage, another place, his workplace.
So we've identified that, right?
And I believe that Mr. Herr also identified that he admitted that, that Biden admitted that he's got probably these documents.
But what her was talking about more was about when he was interviewing Joe Biden is his mental state, the mens rea of the crime.
Is he culpable?
Was he culpable at the time?
Did he knowingly or purposely, willingly hold these documents?
Now, many will say, yes, he did.
He did.
But according to her, he felt it was not enough For him to go beyond a reasonable doubt.
That he felt that they had a crime, but he didn't know if he would be able to convince a jury that he was mentally, I guess, coherent or capable or competent to be able to get beyond a reasonable doubt.
It's just his opinion.
It was just his opinion.
And I understand that, but there's a problem with that take from him.
As a guy who still has a top-secret clearance, I am fully aware that it is one of the very unusual statutes in U.S.
law that mishandling of classified information is a felony irrespective of intent.
Whether you're selling it to the North Koreans or leaving it on a subway car, it's the same quality of felony in the mishandling.
So the mens rea of whether he's left it in a cardboard box...
It doesn't matter, it's still a crime.
So what do you think the intent is here?
Is the intent to whitewash?
Or is the intent to say, yeah, he's a bad guy, but he's senile, so we need Gavin Newsom or somebody else in November.
I mean, you're a seasoned politician.
What do you think the strategy is on the other side?
Well, it would be very, very difficult for the American people to truly try to understand that you can clear Joe Biden for this.
He admits he has documents at his house.
He was writing with his ghostwriter.
I mean, we all know it.
We all knew that he had documents at his house by his Corvette, his car garage.
So how do you go after Donald Trump?
Now Donald Trump in the history has been the only president or vice president that has ever been charged for something like this.
Another first for this corrupt DOJ and this administration.
And really what this truly is is election interference.
So I think if you clear Joe Biden of this, you're going to have to clear Donald Trump of this.
They're the same, in my opinion.
But even different, more, Donald Trump did it while he was the president.
He felt that he could declassify these.
And he had declassification authority.
And yes, right.
And Joe Biden didn't have that as a vice president or when he was a senator.
So let's talk about all the other.
It looks whether it's Fannie Willis with the $700,000 for a lover and all that kind of stuff.
Jack Smith being delayed because of the Supreme Court and the immunity.
Is it your expectation, as somebody who's been following this from inside Capitol Hill, that these, as you said, attempts to use the judiciary to affect election interference, are they just going to all collapse, Congressman?
Well, I think you're going to, Jack Smith, and I think it's Judge Cannon, you're going to have to wait until after the election.
This is election interference.
This whole, all of these different indictments against Donald Trump is election interference.
From Phony Fanny to Alvin Bragg to Letitia Peekaboo James, it's all election interference.
Peekaboo Letitia James and Phony Fanny, we'll have to remember those.
We're talking to Congressman Troy Nels, Texas 22.
Proudly serving on the Judiciary Committee, a member of the Freedom Caucus, NELS.house.gov.
That's N-E-H-L-S.
We've got to talk about the book, but before we get to that, with the latest breaking news from RNC headquarters, with Lara Trump firing lots of deadwood, I've got to ask you the big question that 74 million Americans want to know.
Is it our party now?
Is the GOP party America first?
Is it GOP?
Are the rhinos like walking out the door?
It better be.
It is America first.
It better be.
Listen, Donald Trump and, you know, we had early voting in Texas.
And I was there for two weeks.
I was unopposed, obviously.
Unopposed.
But everybody would come up.
We would talk about this and that.
So many people love Donald Trump and the great state of Texas.
I talked to thousands of voters.
I had seven people that expressed their outrage with me because of Donald Trump.
But did you see that article today where there's a $50 million Campaign now.
It's Republicans against Donald Trump.
You're a mind reader.
We've got the clip.
We're going to play it.
Yeah.
They're desperate, right?
Well, this is why Republicans can't win elections.
This is why Democrats are winning.
Because the Republican Party, you've got these soft Republicans that don't like the leader of our party, our nominee, and this is what you're going to do?
Shame on them.
We ought to kick them out of the party, Seb.
Kick them out of the party.
So you're confident that the rhinos are a dying breed and they're going to be extinct soon?
Well, they should be!
Donald Trump's the leader of the party.
He puts America first.
Well, listen, if you're a rhino and you put America first, we may want to keep you.
I just love the fact that I've got my copy right now in my sweaty hands of his book, and the dedication isn't anything about me, it's just Seb.
God bless America and Trump!
That's how America-first this man is.
We're going to enjoy the whole hour with him.
If three hours of radio a day simply isn't enough, if you want to meet real MAGA patriots that love this nation as much as I do and the Congressman does, what are you doing this July 4th?
We're going to Alaska for our Patriots Alaska Cruise, June 29th to July 6th.

And then I'm going to do the ADF with the Liam audio but I'll tee up.
And then... Then to the book.
Then to the book.
And if you've got B-roll of it, the State of the Union.
I'm going to be asking the Congress about the State of the Union.
I got some.
How's the cigar caucus?
Beautiful.
Beautiful.
I told Rausser, he's the chair of our caucus, I said, you know, you're the chair of this thing, you need to get some events put together, we're going to do a motion to vacate.
I give him a hard time, he's a great guy, loves cigars.
Let's do an event.
We've got about 45 or so out of it.
Wow.
Yeah.
I had an Oliva this morning.
It's bipartisan, believe it or not.
Bipartisan.
I had an Oliva this morning.
You did.
I'm on my second Churchill.
And Ashton, right?
Oh yeah, that's my favorite cigar.
Yes, sir.
Yes, sir.
So have you had events?
And if you do, where do you do them?
Sometimes we'll do it at, there'll be a premium cigar group that has a building there outside of D.C.
there.
We'll have an event there.
Sometimes you'll go to maybe Rex's or Shelly's little cigar bar and have an event there.
I'll be at Rex's tomorrow.
Rex's is so good.
Had my 50th birthday party there.
Fantastic.
50.
My wife turns 50 tomorrow, Seb.
She's smoking hot.
She looks 40.
I'm very pleased with her.
What are you going to do for her birthday?
I'm not really sure yet.
You know, it's spring break for us in Texas.
The Republican conference is supposed to go away this weekend.
There's a little retreat in Greenbrier.
I don't know if I'm doing that.
I don't know if I'm going to get there.
I'm kind of disappointed in the direction that our leadership has taken us.
In Texas?
No, up here.
I mean, oh my gosh.
What's your biggest complaint?
Well, it's just that everything is under suspension and you need Democrats to pass anything.
Under suspension means you need to... Are you in favor of a government shutdown?
Because I am.
Well, I would have voted for it.
I didn't vote for any of this stuff and I continue to stay true to my belief system and my values.
I don't think most Americans would miss it, have like four or five months shut down.
Yeah, well, I think you get the dishonest media and others to scare people saying, well, we won't have border patrol agents, military's not going to get paid, essential services always continue to get paid.
It's like when they say, oh, America, dead people, people die in hospitals if they don't have credit cards.
Right, right.
What?
Right.
Nobody doesn't get health service if they're in an ER.
Right.
It's just scare tactics.
Right.
Oh, by the way, and you can't vote if you don't have a driver's license.
You can't get into your kid's school if you don't have a driver's license, right?
Yeah, remember we couldn't write a video without a driver's license.
That's right, an ID, of course, of course.
Right.
And then I'm going to use cut 12 in the C block.
Pentagon spokesman.
Yeah.
50 seconds.
But you're doing ADF at the top here.
Yeah, ADF, then what did I say?
then to the book.
Thank you.
you you
Gorka, did I see the Gorka man?
Yes, stand up Gorka, quick, get up!
How good, how good is he, Sebastian?
Seb, they call him Seb, I call him Sebastian.
America first.
It's weird.
Anyway.
Go ahead.
Am I allowed to take any questions?
Anybody here who's got...
Stop it!
Thank you for asking.
What's my name?
Van Dyke.
That's the best part.
That's the best part.
It's so weird.
I guess the drugs wore off.
That was Biden yesterday in New Hampshire.
Am I allowed to take questions?
Well, are they not pumping him with what they pumped him on Tuesday or Thursday afternoon for the State of the Union?
Just compare that to how he performed in The Hate of the Nation.
We're going to analyze what did he actually achieve with our in-studio guest, Congressman Troy Nels.
But first, the story continues of Liam Morrison.
Imagine if your 12-year-old wore a t-shirt to school with just the phrase, there are only two genders.
And then the public school punished him for telling the truth with his t-shirt.
That's exactly what happened in Massachusetts.
Let's listen to 12-year-old Liam.
On that spring morning, I wore a shirt that got right to the point.
There are only two genders.
When my principal pulled me out of class, I was told that people were complaining about the words on my shirt was enough to silence my speech.
I was told that I would need to change my shirt before I could return to class.
Rather than respecting my right to free speech, officials chose to censor me.
That's why, with the help of Alliance Defending Freedom and the Massachusetts Family Institute, we filed a lawsuit calling on the court to hold my school accountable for violating my constitutional freedoms.
He's fighting all the way to the Supreme Court with the amazing attorneys of the Alliance Defending Freedom who don't charge their clients a penny.
Whether it's Jack the Cakemaker, whether it's Liam, they're here to fight for all of our freedoms.
Our freedom of religion, our freedom of free speech.
Please support them right now.
Make a donation for Liam so they can fight it all the way to the Supreme Court.
I've got a goal of $25,000 this month.
If you chip in $10, $100, you'll be helping cases like Liam's.
Go to my website, sebgorka.com, and click on the Stand With ADF banner, or call your tax-deductible gift to 855-374-4767.
That's S-E-B-G-O-R-K-A, sebgorka.com, and the ADF banner at the top, or just call them on 855-374-4767.
Congressman Nels' perfectly timed book, Borderless by Design, with a pretty decent endorsement at the very top by someone called Donald J. Trump.
Rep Nels, a former Texas sheriff, exposes the truth about the invasion of our southern border.
Let's put this publication into context with what happened last Thursday, with Biden giving a State of the Union where he talks about Ukraine, he talks about You know, slicing and undercutting the deficit, which is the opposite of the truth.
And then he doesn't talk about the border until Marjorie Taylor Greene shouts, say her name, say her name.
Of course, who is that?
That's Lakin Riley.
He gets it wrong.
He calls her Lincoln Riley twice.
You're listening to this.
I've got to ask you the obvious question.
What did the President and the White House think they were achieving?
Because elections are won in the middle, right?
You've got to appeal to independents in the middle.
That was an angry old man who was lying and shouting for an hour.
Are they just completely losing the plot?
Well, his speech, obviously, it was longer than I thought he would go on.
You know, because you're talking now it's almost 8 o'clock.
He's probably in bed by this time.
But it certainly appears that Jill gave him a nap in the afternoon.
And he was there wide open with his eyes.
He was.
He seemed angry.
He seemed frustrated.
He was attacking us.
He even attacked the Supreme Court.
Yes.
And so he attacked us, but I don't think it went very well for him.
He did a lot of speaking, but there was no substance to the speech.
There really wasn't.
But, some have disagreed with me on this, but I thought that his delivery said he delivered the speech well enough to get everybody in that chamber on the Democrat side,
Nancy Pelosi and the rest of them, to save four more years.
So if there was a Democrat, Gavin Newsom or Michelle Obama or even Hillary Clinton, that
were waiting in the wings thinking he's going to fall on his face following a big press
conference saying I'm running for president, he's their nominee.
There's no question about it.
And I am so glad he is.
Which is good for us.
I think it's the greatest thing.
America won.
Two winners.
The American people first and Donald Trump second.
Yeah, totally.
Let's talk about the fact that he wouldn't talk about the border.
You have just published a 300 plus page book on this.
Why now?
Why this subject?
333 pages, 12 chapters, and I end it with Donald Trump's amazing accomplishments at the back of the book.
I went to see Donald, President Trump, up and asked him if I could put that, his accomplishments on the border, the safest border we've had in my lifetime when he was president for four years.
I think this is the number one issue.
Again, talking to voters at the polling locations in Texas for the last couple weeks during our primary, the border is the number one issue for them.
People would say, we have to do something about the border, we have to do something about the border.
So I thought this book was timely, I thought it was, it took several months but it came out last month and I think it should be a must read for, in my humble opinion, for every 8th grader because it's filled with truth.
Twelve chapters of truth.
And I titled it Borderless by Design because the American people have to understand this isn't by accident.
This is truly by design.
With a list at the back with all the proclamations the President brought us to secure the border.
These are the receipts that the Sheriff, the Congressman, the Major brings.
Isn't it a little ironic, Congressman, that President Trump really won the election in 2016 because of the border and the build the wall?
And the Democrats are helping him, God willing, to win again on the same issue.
Isn't that a bit strange?
Yeah, I find it interesting.
Build that wall, build that wall.
The American people were with Donald Trump in 2016.
He won that election.
He clobbered her.
And then in 2020, of course, we know, you agree, he won as well, but they rigged the election.
under COVID rules and the national declaration, the national emergency.
But Donald Trump's going to come back.
I get a lot of Democrats that always will say that Donald Trump is this and it was the
most free and fair election in 2020.
Well, if it truly was, then why don't you want the same guy back in 2024?
You know what I mean?
If you really won $81 million to $74 million, as they claim, you would think, I want to
have the same guy back because we'll really give him a shellacking this time too.
But they know they rigged the election.
They rigged it.
They don't want Donald Trump back.
Cutting to the truth.
Yeah, if it was such a big win, if Biden's so great, why do you want to put him in prison?
Why do you want to put President Trump in prison?
Because you know the truth about 2020.
Nels.house.gov.
That's N-E-H-L-S Nels.house.gov.
Also on Twitter at RepTroyNels.
The book is borderless by design with an incredible endorsement by none other than my former boss, the 45th, and God willing, if we do our part, the 47th President of the United States.

Go right now to sebgorkerstore.com.
We'll be back with the Congressman in a moment.
♪♪ ♪♪
The introduction about when I was sheriff and the border is the reason why I ran for Congress.
Because I had a lady here, her name was Miss Boo, that was run over and killed by an illegal.
Yeah, I know, the mics are on.
And he was deported six previous times.
So that's what I talk about.
So then we talk about why are they coming here, it's the push-pulls, I talk a little bit about that.
There's a chapter in here about China, there's a chapter about George Soros, obviously Davos, man, and other things, I think.
Let's start with Booth.
Yeah. Okay. All right so we've got the shortened, play the shortened cruise cut.
Go ahead. Mr. Secretary how many children have been sold into sex slavery under
your administration? Senator we are taking it to the How many children have been sold into sex slavery?
Do you know how many children have been sold into sex slavery?
Mr. Secretary, I want to say to you right now, your behavior is disgraceful, and the deaths, the children assaulted, the children raped, they are at your feet, and if you had integrity, you would resign.
And I will tell you, the men and women of the Border Patrol, they've never had a political leader undermine them.
They despise you, Mr. Secretary, because you're willing to let children be raped to follow political orders.
This is a crisis, it's a disgrace, and you won't even admit this human tragedy is a crisis.
That's the shortened one?
It's 55 seconds.
All right, I'm going to use that in D with the congressman here, because of his prior service.
I want to play him the Pentagon Press Secretary, right?
So we'll talk about that for a second.
So this is, I want, this is incredible.
This is about building the harbor for the aid.
This is General Patrick Ryder.
Play it.
Do you anticipate that Hamas will try to fire on the operation?
You know, look, I mean, that's certainly a risk.
Again, but if Hamas truly does care about the Palestinian people, then again, one would hope that this international mission to deliver aid to people who need it would be able to happen unhindered.
Tony.
We'll use that.
I'll tee it up.
Okay.
And then play this, add the Never Trump It thing.
What is it?
That's... Republicans, yeah.
Trump talking about retribution.
Retribution.
And going after people.
His disrespect of our military.
Military people that he's disgraced.
Ninety-one.
Ninety-one.
Criminal felonies.
Four different indictments.
He mishandled classified documents.
Taking documents.
Now his desire to do away with NATO.
Donald Trump talks about abandoning Ukraine.
He said he'll be a dictator on day one.
He's going to be a dictator on day one.
He's going to be a dictator, period.
That kind of stuff scares me.
Absolutely scares me.
A second Trump term would be worse than the first.
A second term for Trump would be far more extreme.
It is dangerous, outright dangerous.
I cannot see where we're going to end up again.
I'm going to put it down before it finishes.
They're not Republicans, man.
None of them are Republicans.
No.
They're Republicans like Liz Cheney.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
hearing it.
This is a test.
has a public plating and a Optical Adapter.
Thanks for watching.
Here's looking at you, Snowflake.
America first.
Who's the most America first businessman out there, outside of President Trump?
I think it's pretty obvious, isn't it?
After Don Jr.
and Eric, it's gotta be Michael Indell!
The man the left hates and wishes to destroy.
The inventor of the MyPillow, the pillow that never gets hot and never loses shape.
He sold 81 million.
Yeah, 81 million of them.
They're that good.
But are you aware he's got more than 200 other items on his website made by Americans here in America for you?
Don't buy that Chinese tat on Amazon.

The secret code G-O-R-K-A.
We're back with Texas's congressman for the 22nd district, Major Sheriff Troy Nels, the author of a brand new book, Borderless by Design.
I want to get back to why you wrote the book and the kind of story that triggered it from your time as sheriff, but having served a nation also in the U.S.
Army, I heard this this morning, and this just, as a former strategist to the President, I serve in the British Army as well, this story or this clip absolutely blew my mind.
This is Pentagon Press Secretary General Patrick Ryder being asked about U.S.
troops building a port ...appear for Americans to give aid to Hamas's population and the question about whether they might react badly.
Cut 12, Pentagon Press Secretary.
Do you anticipate that Hamas will try to fire on the operation?
You know, look, I mean, that's certainly a risk, again.
But if Hamas truly does care about the Palestinian people, then, again, one would hope that this international mission to deliver aid to people who need it would be able to happen unhindered.
Tony.
That's a two-star general who's saying if and we hope that our troops and our sailors won't be shot at.
You don't, strategy is not if and hope.
I mean what has happened congressman?
He said if Hamas wants to hurt the Palestinian people, they're embedded in there with the
Palestinian people, right?
They're using them as human shields.
Listen, I think it's very, very clear.
Joe Biden is in a very difficult position.
He's put himself in it.
Because right now when they had votes in Michigan, there were, what, 100 and something thousand
uncommitted.
Listen, Joe Biden, somebody's whispering in his ear and saying, hey listen, I know you support Israel, but we're losing a bunch of people with Palestine.
You've got to stop that.
You've got to make sure that they do a ceasefire.
This is what he's doing.
So now what's the federal government's response?
We throw money at it.
And now we could be placing US soldiers in harm's way.
And if you think you can trust Hamas, Seb, I saw a video that probably the average American doesn't have access to.
And let me tell you something.
I think the 3,000 Hamas, the 3,000 that came over, I'm telling you, I believe they were under some type of a substance.
What you saw them do to other human beings... They were laughing.
They were laughing.
They were filled with rage.
They were filled with the devil.
Because I tell you, you just don't do that, even to your enemy.
I mean, absolutely horrific things.
Children.
Horrific things.
And I said to myself, a normal, prudent person wouldn't do this.
I think they had to give him some type of a drug, in my humble opinion.
So we can trust them that when our troops build this pontoon and this pier that they'll be nice now?
Hamas needs to be wiped out, eliminated, every single one.
We need to support Israel all the way.
But Joe Biden feels he's in trouble right now.
His approval rating's in the toilet.
He can't get anything done at the southern border.
And now he's got a bunch of people, the Palestinian-Americans, others, saying, hey, listen, we're not even committed to you, Joe.
You better do something.
But this, I mean you've worn the cloth of the Republic.
Yeah.
This could lead to U.S.
troops who are there to do humanitarian things to politically save Biden.
This could lead to our troops being shot at or killed.
Yeah.
Somebody came up with this idea to try to get those 150 uncommitted to say, hey, we need you.
Listen, you're in trouble right now against Donald Trump.
We need every vote we can get you, Joe, so you better do something to help these people.
It's dangerous.
It's that line from The Hunt for Red October, former Senator Fred Thompson playing the Admiral on the aircraft carrier.
And he says, this could get out of hand.
It could get out of hand and ugly very, very quickly.
That's what we just heard from a two-star general representing the most mighty military force in the world that incredibly is under the command.
of a senile old man called Joseph Robinette Biden.
We're talking the security of the nation.
Borderless by design is the brand new book from Congressman Troy Nels, endorsed by President Trump.
Get it right now.
I'm Sebastian Gawker.
This is America First coming to you from the ReliefFactor.com studios just outside the insalubrious, fetid, rank, malodorous, noisome, ghastly swamp that is Washington, D.C.
Relief Factor.
It works.
It's real.
How do I know that?
I had a low back pain issue that plagued me for nine years, almost a decade.
I took Relief Factor.
Two weeks later, I was pain-free, and I'm still pain-free as of January, five years later.
But it's not just me.
It's people like Debran from Massachusetts.
Just listen to Debran's story.
I just started taking Relief Factor four days ago.
My hip pain is gone.
I had a horrible time sleeping because of the pain.
I absolutely love how I am feeling.
Thank you, Relief Factor.
That should be your story.
It can be your story.
Find out today.
There's only one way.
Order the three-week quick starter pack at relieffactor.com.
It'll be at your door in three days or less.
Take it morning and evening, just like I do.
And I promise you, Dr. G's guarantee, By the end of the three weeks, you will know whether it works for you.
Like it works for me, Deborah, and over a million of your fellow Americans.
Don't wait another moment.
Ask yourself one simple question.
What do you have to lose?
If the pain is the only answer, you know what to do.
Write down the number.
1-800-4-Relief.
Reliefactor.com.
That's 1-800-4-7-3-5-4-3-3.
Reliefactor.com.
That's 1-800-473-5433 reliefactor.com
reliefactor.com The first story in the book.
And if we have time, yeah, mic's on.
If we have time indeed, then I'll use the cruise cut.
Okay.
The shortened one.
Um... The new one?
The shorter one, yeah.
Yeah, okay.
And actually, because we've got PhD at the end here... At the end of the top?
We got it on both.
So I'm gonna flip it.
I'm gonna do... I'm gonna do Patriot Mobile at the top here.
And then PhD in E. And then still cut 15 here?
Yeah, if we have time we'll get to cut 15.
But I want to go to the story of Booth.
You said Booth, right?
Oh, Miss Boo.
Miss Boo, yeah.
That's my introduction in the book, when I was sheriff.
Did you like being sheriff?
I did, eight years.
Did it for almost 30, but eight years as sheriff, a large county.
I made a lot, yeah.
Yeah, we did well.
Just outside of Harris County.
I suggested we build a wall between Fort Bend and Harris County and make Harris County pay for it.
It didn't go very well, you know what I mean?
Yeah.
Marlon Alexander Zavala.
Oh yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Alexander the Valar. Oh yeah. Yeah.
Honduras.
Latin America.
Laquetta Joyce Boo.
It's incredible.
They're committing suicide with our country, is what they're doing.
Just to get voters.
You know, when you look at what's happening in our country today, I think the American people are not only experiencing discomfort, but they're experiencing pain.
And maybe it's taken this pain for them to realize, the American people, that we've got to change direction.
How long can we sustain this pain?
We don't like this pain.
We want the pain to go away.
Well, if you want that relief factor, so to speak, you're talking about, it's Donald Trump.
He is the guy that provides that relief.
And so it just seems like, you know, like for an alcoholic, so to say, you almost got to reach rock bottom in order for you to get the help you need.
Well, the American people are feeling the pain, and that's why Donald Trump's coming
back.
That would be a great opportunity.
Here we go.
Dr. G is ready for anything on America First.
Do you know the easiest way for you to make a difference is you don't have to run for Congress or the presidency or the local school board.
That would be cool though by the way.
Let's take back America one school board at a time.
But you can actually be part of the fight to save America with your cell phone.
What do I mean?
If your cell phone account is tied to one of the big cell phone providers, you're actually funding the Democrats.
You're funding the lunatic left.
The big companies give millions of dollars of your money from their profits every year to organizations like Planned Parenthood and to gun control foundations.
Which means every time you make a call or send a text, you're actually funding an abortion or funding somebody who wants to take away your guns.
Don't do that.
Join today the only Christian conservative cell phone company in America.
It's the one I use.
It's Patriot Mobile.
They have a nationwide network, 4G, 5G, a performance guarantee, free activation with my name, and discounts for veterans and first responders.
Oh, and by the way, they love America like you do.
You keep your old number, you keep your old phone, or get an upgrade, switch today like I did.
972-PATRIOT, patriotmobile.com slash G-O-R-K-A.
Switch today, don't fund your enemies.
That's lunacy.
972-728-7468, patriotmobile.com, slash G-O-R-K-A.
We're back with Texas Congressman, the 22nd District's, Troy Nells, with the brand new book, Borderless by Design.
You talk about the opening of the book, why you really wrote it when you were a sheriff, and the story of one tragic death.
Will you share that?
Yeah, the introduction.
It's 12 chapters, but the introduction.
I was a sheriff of a very large county in Texas, Fort Bend County.
I had about almost 900,000 residents that call Fort Bend County home.
That's bigger than D.C.
Yes, it is.
And I was a sheriff there for eight years, so I had about 826 staff.
And while I was sheriff, there were numerous cases where we would have victims in our county as a result of illegal immigration.
And in the book, I talk about this Honduran that ran over and killed one of my residents, Ms.
Boo.
We solved the case.
We found the guy.
He was drunk.
We couldn't pin him for the drunk driving because we found him in his bed at home when he fled the scene.
But we booked him in.
We booked him in for killing Ms.
Boo, running her over, leaving the scene.
And then we found out, because we had a great working relationship with ICE, that this guy, this guy's been deported six previous times.
And I had an opportunity then, several weeks later, to, one of the family members, a son, came in, and I had to explain to him, as a sheriff, you know how difficult it is when you say, oh, by the way, we did catch this guy, he shouldn't have been here, he was an illegal, and he's been deported six previous times.
How does a sheriff, how do you explain to people You know, America's like, I'm sorry, mom should be here today, but this guy's been deported because it's just... So we've got problems at the southern border, we truly do.
I don't know how individuals can get deported more than once, quite honestly.
They keep coming back, they keep coming back.
The name of the individual who killed that woman is Marlon Alexander Zavala Alcantara.
I'd like you to keep Laquita Joyce Boo's memory, her soul, in your prayers and her loved ones.
I have a test, or not a test, a question I want to run by you because it's something I'm absolutely convinced of.
Biden knows what he's doing.
He knows what DHS is doing.
But of everyone in the administration, the 4,000 presidential appointees, everyone else, the cabinet members, the most evil individual, This is the cut I used to demonstrate it.
This is Senator Ted Cruz with Alejandro Mayorkas talking about the armbands that are the evidence of child trafficking by the cartels.
Let's play the cut.
Mr. Secretary, how many children have been sold into sex slavery under your administration?
Senator, we are taking it to the cartels.
How many children have been sold into sex slavery?
Do you know how many children have been sold into sex slavery?
To an unprecedented degree.
Mr. Secretary, I want to say to you right now, your behavior is disgraceful, and the deaths, the children assaulted, the children raped, they are at your feet, and if you had integrity, you would resign.
And I will tell you, the men and women of the Border Patrol, they've never had a political leader undermine them.
They despise you, Mr. Secretary, because you're willing to let children be raped to follow political orders.
This is a crisis, it's a disgrace, and you won't even admit this human tragedy is a crisis.
What the Senator said was revolting.
I'm not going to address it.
Your refusal to do your job is revolting.
Do you agree with me, the most evil and the most arrogant man in the administration, Congressman?
Yes.
Obviously, we did our job a few weeks back.
We impeached him.
Now, is Chuck Schumer going to do anything with this guy?
Probably not.
They're never going to convict him.
But I thought we laid out a really good case.
Mark Green, the chairman of Homeland, did a very good job.
And finally, we got the Republican Party to be unified, having the majority, and we impeach this guy because it's horrible.
My orcas would look at the American people every other day and say, you know, everything seems to be fine.
We have operational control.
I mean, that's his phrase.
We have operational, which means they're allowing people in.
Yeah.
That's what it means.
Yeah.
They're, they're aiding in the betting of what Senator Cruz is talking about, about trafficking of persons, human trafficking.
And to me, the blood is on their hands.
Whether you look at Lakin, Miss Riley, I mean that, that nursing student, horrible, horrible.
Why did it take so long to impeach him?
Well, I believe that Homeland Security wanted to do a real thorough job to make sure that we could convince other members that this is... You mean the committee?
Yes, yes.
That this is an impeachable offense.
You know, we only got a couple-seat majority, but we were able to get that done.
And I think it was absolutely the right thing to do, because I think this guy's performance as Secretary of Homeland Security is absolutely the worst, and there's one maybe that's right there equal with him.
And that's that wonderful Border Czar that you don't hear too much about, Kamala Harris.
What the hell has she done?
Very little, if anything.
Let's just remind everyone, the millions listening right now, the vice president is the anointed
border czarina.
Biden made her in charge of the border.
So if there's anybody to blame, if there is a point person, it is the cackler.
It is Kamala Harris.
And then the man who made it all possible, truly evil, a heart of darkness is Alejandro
Mayorkas, a man who isn't some academic in an ivory tower who's been a theoretician.
He knows what he's doing.
He was a very senior DHS official during the Obama administration.
He knows exactly what is happening to those children, to those women, and to the cartels.
We're talking to Congressman Troy Nels from Texas's 22nd Congressional District.
Follow him at RepTroyNels.
That's N-E-H-L-S.
nels.house.gov and the book you need to get right now with an endorsement at the very top by the 45th, and God willing, if we do our part, the 47th President of the United States is Borderless by Design.
I'm Sebastian Gawker.

Can you text it to me?
Yeah, she'll text it.
Yeah, one second.
Sorry about my phone ringing on you there.
No, no, no.
Yeah, it happens.

Well, I thought it... I remember what the outfit is.
It's a good one.
You'll be getting a text momentarily.
Oh my gosh!
Wow.
Wow, wow, wow.
I'm gonna send that to myself and then Eric.
You are such a troublemaker.
The boss sent me a nice little deal and thanked me.
Well, he didn't thank me, but he... I like the bow tie as well.
Where'd you get the bow tie?
Amazon.
They sent it to me.
Yeah.
Three seconds.
Mm-hmm.

["Star Wars Main Theme"]
I'm a fan of the movie.
Mr. Swalwell is down there.
Obviously, everybody knows he's made some comments.
He's got a checkered past.
He's alleged... I'm sorry, a checkered past?
I would ask... It's my turn.
Alleged affairs relationships with... He had alleged relationships with Yum Yum.
I ask the gentleman's word to be taken down.
I know about Fag-Fag.
I missed Yum-Yum.
I need to pay more attention to what the Democrats are doing behind closed doors.
What just an epic moment from the Congress, from our friend Congressman Troy Nels, Texas's 22nd District.
God bless you, sir.
Thank you.
You've got a sense of humor.
Like Reagan taught us, we have to be happy warriors.
And you have to be fit as well.
You have to be in shape.
Do what I did, myphdweightloss.com, the system that helped me lose 42 pounds.
My wife lost 36.
Together, that's a Lauren Bobert.
We lost a Lauren Bobert together.

Check it out today at MyPhDWeightLoss.com 864-644-1900, myphdweightloss.com, 864-644-1900.
We've got two minutes left.
I'm honored that you came in studio.
You left the swap.
You came over here.
The book is Borderless by Design, endorsed by President Trump.
We've got a couple of seconds left.
I've got to ask you, you've got a sense of humor.
The good guys have got a sense of humor.
We're patriots.
We love America.
The other side, the people you work with across the aisle, are they just crazy?
Yeah, I think they're very, very angry.
They're very concerned about this guy named Donald J. Trump, right?
They're truly concerned with him.
They're doing everything they possibly can through indictments and other things to keep him off the ballot.
Obviously, the Supreme Court ruled that Colorado case.
He's going to be on the ballot, and the American people are going to elect him as the 47th president.
I am so pleased.
I think you and I discussed it.
I was so pleased that Biden delivered a speech that solidified.
He is their nominee now, and Donald Trump's going to beat him for a second time.
So I think help is on its way.
There's a crisis on every corner.
The border is on fire.
But I tell you folks, this is the truth.
This book is so good.
Anybody that reads this book, you're not going to put it down.
You'll be able to walk into any coffee shop across America and have a true understanding of why this border crisis is by design.
We lay it out in detail.
It's a very easy read.
You can get it on Amazon.
This is the reason that we need President Trump back.
You can't have a nation if you don't have national sovereignty.
You can't be safe.
A 22-year-old goes jogging and is so beaten up, her skull caved in that they can't recognize her, by an illegal, let in by Biden, released by the authorities in New York after endangering a minor.
God bless you, Congressman, for writing the book, Borderless by Design.
Tell the world who you are.
It's the latest item on our website.
It's a photograph of Lake and Riley on a t-shirt with the phrase, Say Her Name.
I'm going to wear it.
I want everyone to know who that beautiful woman was so we can have safety and prosperity again.

America first.
Mega-nificent.
Hey guys, what did we think of that?
Get a congressman from Texas in studio for a whole hour.
What do we think, Jeff?
Were you impressed?
Were you satisfied?
I enjoyed it.
Eric?
The only thing missing for that interview was the presence of cigars.
Cigars?
I know!
Guy, did you enjoy our interview with Congressman Nels?
Yes, sir.
I enjoy the conversation.
It is as smooth as bourbon.
Nice.
Alex, what did you think?
Were you impressed with the congressman from Texas?
Thumbs up.
We need more in-person interviews.
I know.
So, it's hard to get them to cross the river.
So, Jeff, we've had Matt Gaetz in the studio.
We've had MTG, Marjorie Taylor Greene.
Who else?
The COVID lockdown's ruined it.
Everyone wants to do Skype ever since the shutdown.
They act like we're five hours away.
It's ten minutes away.
Ten minutes away.
Alright, guys.
Show commitment.
Millions of people are listening to you every single day.
But the people who are not listening to you are the Republicans who hate Trump.
Especially the ones that made this ad.
Listen to this ad and tell me if you think there are any Republicans in this ad of Republicans against President Trump.
Cut Full.
He's going to be a dictator, period.
That kind of stuff scares me.
Absolutely scares me.
A second Trump term would be worse than the first.
A second term for Trump would be far more extreme.
It is dangerous, outright dangerous.
I cannot support Donald Trump again.
I would never vote for him again.
He'll never get my vote, ever, ever.
Jeff, after you noticed it, I actually decided to count the number of people who spoke there.
It was 58.
And there was no black person.
The whole thing I said it wasn't very diverse.
There was one person who looked Asian, but you couldn't find, I mean, I thought the Democrats, that's for the Democrats to win, I thought the Democrats were the party of diversity.
Remember they always say we need to represent what America looks like.
Fifty-eight voices of fake Republicans who are in fact Democrats, and you couldn't find one blank person for your ad?
You're such a bunch of bigots.
You're such a bunch of racists.
Jeff, I'm worried.
We may have to change the nickname.
We didn't give it to him.
I think it was Chris Platt who gave him the nickname, but Chris Cuomo, who is known as Fredo I think we might have to change him because he's clearly found a couple of brain cells.
He was on our buddy, the Patrick Bet-David podcast.
Just a 12-minute cut.
Cut six.
You know, this guy's gonna win, by the way.
This guy's gonna win.
I've never seen people behind someone like this before.
I've never been to rallies like that before.
For anyone.
Obama didn't even have rallies like that.
That's with talking to Victor Orshan, a part of the Valuetainment team.
Jeff, what does it mean that Chris Cuomo, a.k.a.
Fredo, is saying he's never seen anything like this, even with Obama?
He's a Democrat.
I think it's because he's not on CNN anymore.
He's allowed to say things like that.
But do you think he means it?
Does he believe it, what he's saying?
I never thought he was as bad on CNN as he is.
I think he was dumb.
I think he lied a lot, but I don't think he believes a lot of the stuff that Democrats do now.
Right.
Well, I found somebody who is maybe dumber than he is.
This is Democrat Congresswoman Pramila J. Pal, who has a very strange definition of legal migration to the United States.
Cut one.
When people differentiate between legal immigration and illegal immigration, The undertone from your side is that somehow people who are coming illegally are trying to break into the country, that are trying to do something wrong, when in fact it took me 17 years to go through the legal immigration system and I am not disparaging of people who are trying to come to this country for all the reasons that drive people to come to the United States.
Eric, I'm confused.
She's talking about doing it legally.
And A, why did it take you 17 years?
That's a bit weird.
It took me three as a legal alien.
And then she's saying, well, well, it took me 17.
Therefore, what's that got to do with illegals who don't do anything to actually become citizens?
It's just, it's the cheapest tactic they can go for, is saying like, oh, all immigrants, when Democrats, or when Republicans say they want to secure the border and deport people, they're talking about all immigrants, honestly.
There are Twitter ex-accounts out there saying, oh, Trump wants to round up all Hispanics, as if all Hispanics are immigrants.
It's just, it's the only thing they have to try to defend this border crisis.
Whilst we had Congressman Nelson's studio for a whole hour, they were just wrapping up his Judiciary Committee testimony of Special Counsel Robert Herr, the man who wrote the 388-page report, basically saying, yeah, Joe Biden broke the law, he committed multiple felonies with classified documents he wasn't authorized to keep, but he's too old and senile for us to prosecute him.
There is a clip from that with Jim Jordan that we want to share with you because we keep on top of the news as well.
It's part of our duties here.
Cut 13!
I think this is interesting because here's the scary part.
Page 200.
I said this earlier in my opening statement.
Page 200.
Joe Biden, this is a quote, Joe Biden risked serious damage to America's national security when he shared information with his ghost rider.
Shared it with his ghostwriter, the guy who was helping Joe Biden get $8 million.
And oh, by the way, Mr. Herr, what did that ghostwriter do with the information Joe Biden shared with him on his laptop?
What did he do after you were named special counsel?
Chairman, if you're referring to the audio recordings that Mr. Zwanitzer created of his conversations with Mr. Biden... That's exactly what I'm referring to.
He slid, if I remember correctly, he slid those files into his recycle bin on his computer.
Tried to destroy the evidence, didn't he?
Correct.
Classified information shared by a man who didn't have the authority to retain it.
And he gives it to his ghostwriter, the man who's pretending to be Joe Biden in writing his memoirs.
And when we find out about it, what does the ghostwriter do?
He slides it into his trash on his desktop to try and hide it, to hide the evidence.
That's who we're dealing with.
It is frightening, but it's not as frightening as this.
26 seconds from the Pentagon.
From a two-star general called General Patrick Ryder.
And you need to understand how frightening this is.
The Biden administration, which is in trouble with their base, who are pro-Hamas and anti-Israel, are going to build a port for Gaza, which is sovereign Israeli territory.
And what's going to happen when they deliver aid?
Are they going to be shot at by terrorists?
It's a good question.
Just listen to the General's response.
Patrick Ryder, the Pentagon Press Secretary.
Do you anticipate that Hamas will try to fire on the operation?
You know, look, I mean, that's certainly a risk, again, but if Hamas truly does care about the Palestinian people, then, again, one would hope that this international mission to deliver aid to people who need it would be able to happen unhindered.
Tony.
If I were that general's boss, I would strip him publicly of his rank.
The idea that you can be a flag officer, you can be a general, and make such an asinine, a-strategic statement.
I hope, I hope the terrorists won't shoot at us.
That they will do what's right.
I hope a terrorist will do what's right.
You shouldn't be wearing the uniform of an airman, of a lieutenant, let alone a two-star general.
You have no cognition of strategic thinking, of warfare.
When in the history of conflict has anyone in a uniform said, I hope the people who want to kill innocent people are going to be nice.
Patrick Ryder.
I'm not even going to recognize your rank.
Patrick Ryder.
You are one of two things.
A political whore for your boss, Joe Biden, or a clinical imbecile.
Pick one.
Because you're definitely not a Major General.
I'm Sebastian Gorka.

I'm going to go ahead and close this out.
On that spring morning, I wore a shirt that got right to the point.
There are only two genders.
When my principal pulled me out of class, I was told that people were complaining about the words on my shirt.
It was enough to silence my speech.
I was told that I would need to change my shirt before I could return to class.
Rather than respecting my right to free speech, officials chose to censor me.
That's why, with the help of Alliance Defending Freedom and the Massachusetts Family Institute, we filed a lawsuit, calling on the court to hold my school accountable for violating my constitutional freedoms.
Is there anything more important than fighting for that young boy?
His name's Leon Morrison and he was punished by his middle school in Middleborough, Massachusetts because he went to school one day in a t-shirt that said there are only two genders.
It's a statement of scientific fact and we have freedom of speech in America and freedom of conscience.
He was punished.
So what is that 12-year-old boy doing with the Massachusetts Family Institute and the incredible fighters at the Alliance Defending Freedom?

You know why?
Because I love talking to really interesting people.
It's not a job really, it's just a great conversation I share with three and a half million people across the country and today I've been waiting a long time to get him on the show.
Last time we were in Israel together and I was very impressed with this man, especially when he told me What lies underneath Jerusalem?
The City of David.
Welcome Zev Orenstein to America First in Studio.
He is the Director of International Affairs for the City of David.
cityofdavid.org.il.
Thanks for coming in studio.
Thanks for having me.
So we've got loads of pictures.
Eric will start cycling through them and then we can discuss what each of them represents.
Oh, that's me, of course.
That's at the temple wall in Jerusalem.
We've put one of those images with the president on a t-shirt.
That's in the old town, the old city just outside, where we gave a lecture.
I mean, God bless.
This was on our tour of the Holy Land.
350 of our listeners were there to receive, you know, cultural enlightenment, to see the home of God's chosen people, and then something called the City of David.
Freeze on that picture for a moment.
Will you tell us, Zev, where my wife is standing in that photograph?
Because it looks like there's a building or a roof above her, but what's actually above Katie?
What's above Katy is the modern-day city of David.
It is a neighborhood, mixed Jewish-Arab neighborhood, and where Katy is standing is the most significant half-mile on the planet.
There is no half-mile that means more to more people than where Katy's standing, which is on the Pilgrimage Road.
That is the road that our ancestors, yours and mine, 2,000 years ago, when they were making pilgrimage on the way up to the Temple, the top of the Temple Mount, that's the road they walked on.
I want it to be clear.
There's a picture of KD, for our radio listeners, standing on a sloping roadway of giant stones, flagstones, which was the pilgrimage route up to the temple.
The route that, for example, as we read in the New Testament, Jesus and his parents would walk on those stones up to the temple after having cleansed themselves.
In the Pool of Siloam.
Right.
Why do you know this?
How did you find it?
So how do we have this today?
Because it's an incredible story.
How did you find that?
So we have a teaching in our faith, which is God has many messengers.
In this case, 2004, a busted sewage pipe leads to the discovery of one of the most significant
biblical heritage sites in all of Jerusalem, the Pool of Siloam, where in the Christian
scriptures the story of the healing of the blind man takes place, where the Bible tells
us that three times a year, all of Israel would go on pilgrimage up to the Temple on
the Temple Mount, Passover, Pentecost, Tabernacles, and you have to go to a ritual bath first
to cleanse.
The historian Josephus says nearly three million people are going on pilgrimage 2,000 years
ago, time of Jesus, on Passover.
So once you go up to the pool to cleanse, the question is how did those millions of
pilgrims get from the pool on the half-mile journey up to the Temple Mount?
And the answer is what has been called the most significant archaeological discovery
in the last hundred years.
The pilgrimage road, the biblical superhighway, the road that your ancestors and mine would have walked on 2,000 years ago when they went on pilgrimage up to the temple.
And talk to us, we've got one more picture of you taking us on a tour.
Where are we standing in this photograph?
So that is a site believed by many to have been the palace of King David.
That was the original Capitol Hill.
The place where the kings of the Bible ruled, the prophets of the Bible preached, and a site that, until 2005, was underground.
When an archaeologist came into our visitor center and says, you need to move your offices, because beneath your feet you will find the palace of King David.
There is no place on the planet, more so than the city of David, the place where Jerusalem began, where you can take the Bible in one hand, you can take the archaeological discoveries in another, and you see it's not simply a matter of faith, but a matter of fact.
And when you're there, and this is what was so stunning for all of our listeners, The Bible comes alive when you're actually standing on a flagstone that Jesus, that the chosen people walked on during the holy celebrations for the Jewish faith.
And it's not a story in a book, it's not a drawing somebody made up to illustrate the Bible,
you're actually standing there. And then the evidence of the coins, the buildings,
these things are tangible. That's right. And the amazing thing is when you first come into
the City of David, we saw it together, there's a giant plaque, a big stone dedication,
of recognizing the City of David as a heritage site.
This was done by the Trump administration, one of the last things that they did.
But it's not recognized as a Jewish heritage site or an Israeli heritage site.
There's a giant American flag on this plaque.
It's recognized as an American heritage site.
And the question is why?
Why would the United States of America, why would the Trump administration recognize the City of David, some 6,000 miles outside the borders of the United States, as an American heritage site?
But what they understood is the bedrock upon which this nation, the United States of America, is built.
The Judeo-Christian heritage has its roots in the city of David.
Therefore, all the heritage that we're unearthing is not just significant to the Jewish people or to Israel, it's your heritage.
It's the heritage of hundreds of millions of Americans who this is the foundations of their values, of their ideals, and it's also when people deny that heritage.
It's not just an attack on us, it's an attack on your heritage too.
There's a reason it's called the Judeo-Christian civilization.
You know, the long form of the West is Judeo-Christian civilization.
If you want to understand and see it for yourself, well, we had our trip with 350 of our dearest listeners and you should do it as well.

Thank you for watching.
Bye.
I think he's sending an important message.
It's not clear to me at all that Prime Minister Netanyahu has a plan for Rafa.
It's not clear to me that he has a plan, as his people said when Senator Booker and I were there last weekend, to move the civilians out of Rafa before he sends his troops in.
I can understand the need to dismantle the remaining six Hamas battalions
that are there.
But we need to understand how he's going to do that.
And I think that the prevailing view in our country and in many places around the world
is that too many civilians have died in this war already.
You have to ask him what he said, because he agrees with—he said that he agrees that
we have to destroy Hamas as a fighting— and that's what he's going to do.
And I think that's what he's going to do.
you you
You have to ask him what he said.
Because he agrees, he said that he agrees that we have to destroy Hamas as a fighting
That's what we intend to do.
Look, it's either Israel or Hamas.
There's no middle way.
I mean, we have to have that victory.
We can't have three-quarters of a victory.
We can't have two-thirds of a victory, because Hamas will reconstitute itself with these four battalions in Rafah, reconquer the Gaza Strip, and do the October 7th massacre over and over and over again.
And for us in Israel, Not merely for me, but for the people of Israel.
That's a red line.
We can't let Hamas survive.
There is no such thing as a two-thirds victory.
Those who slaughtered the innocents on October 7th.
Men, women and children.
The greatest loss of life for Israel since the Holocaust.
They must all be destroyed.
I'm Sebastian Gawker.

800-829-8468. That's 800-829-8468 mypillow.com. Just to emphasize what our friends have told us, here it is.
This is John chapter 9.
As he went along, Jesus saw a man blind from birth.
His disciples asked him, Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he was born blind?
Neither this man nor his parents sinned, said Jesus.
But this happened so that the works of God might be displayed in him.
As long as it is day, we must do the works of him who sent me.
Night is coming when no one can work.
While I am in the world, I am the light of the world.
After saying this, Jesus spat on the ground, made some mud with the saliva, and put it on the man's eyes.
Go, he told him.
Wash in the pool of Shiloam.
The word means sent.
So the man went and washed and came home seeing.
Zev, what reaction do you see in the people that you take around the city of David, that you take on that path from the pool up to the temple, when they realize that they're actually seeing the words of the Bible in reality?
What kind of effect does that have on people?
I think for many people who grow up studying the Bible, trying to connect with Scripture, when you're doing it in the United States of America, and really anywhere else in the world, it's something you believe, but it's theoretical because you can't connect to the places, to the places where those people were.
And when you come to the city of David, when you're in the place where the Bible happened, the words of the Bible come to life in a way that's just not possible anywhere else.
And so you're seeing your faith Come to life, not simply as a matter of faith, but as a matter of fact.
You don't have to apologize for it.
It's not superstition, it's not Harry Potter, that you have the science, the archaeology, affirming so much of what's written in the scripture, and you can literally walk in those same places.
And you know, whether it's on university campuses today, in the media, in the culture, mocking, scorning those who believe in that heritage.
And that heritage is on solid bedrock.
In fact, far solider than what so much of what's being produced today in culture.
This has stood the test of time.
It's what Western civilization has been built upon, and it's not going anywhere.
And I'm sure you've seen people for whom it's been a life-changing event to actually see the words of God in reality.
That's right.
And it's, you know, being able to see, to walk on those stones, to see with your own eyes, to touch with your own hands.
It brings the Bible to life in a way that's just not possible anywhere else.
And it's, I find for myself, it's a source of inspiration.
You look at what's happening right now in Israel, post-October 7th.
And what Hamas did, they didn't call it the Gaza flood, they didn't call it the settlements flood, they called it the Al-Aqsa flood attack.
Talking about Jerusalem.
It's about Jerusalem.
And we're bringing it to life.
I'm going to ask you how Israel is doing.
Soon it'll be half a year since the October 7th attacks.
We're talking to the Director of International Affairs for the City of David underneath Jerusalem.
He's Zev Orenstein.
The website is cityofdavid.org.il.
If you want to do something for the cause of saving America, you don't have to run for office.
Well, it'd be nice if you ran for the local school board, but how about this very simple thing?
Don't fund your enemies with every call you make and every text you send.
The big cell phone companies are woke.
They make massive donations, millions of dollars to organizations like Planned Parenthood.
Don't fund abortions with every call you make and every text you send.
Switch to the only Christian conservative cell phone company in America.
It's the one I use.
It's Patriot Mobile.
They have the same nationwide coverage, free activation with my name, discounts for veterans and first responders.
Oh, and by the way, they're conservatives and love America like you do, and have donated millions of dollars to the First Amendment, the Second Amendment, and the sanctity of life.
Switch today.

The pool is being excavated, as you speak, the road as well.
I can tell you.
You You
You Tremendous amount of things you can cut.
Maybe precise.
Tremendous amount of things you can do, not cut.
But the bottom line is, he's still at it.
That's like yesterday.
How does that compare to last Thursday?
Is that the same guy?
No, Thursday he was speaking like Ben Shapiro.
He was all fired up in the State of the Union.
It's definitely worn off.
Whatever they injected him with, it is definitely worn.
So let me just, I want to play that again so you understand.
That is the man who, 24 hours a day, seven days a week, has within 30 feet of him something called the nuclear football that can trigger World War III.
This is Joe Biden.
Play cut.
Tremendous amount of things you can cut.
You gotta laugh or you're gonna cry.
Oh my gosh.
Have you ever given up on something?
If you listen to this show, you're probably a fighter, right?
But the bottom line is, he's still at it.
You gotta laugh or you're gonna cry. Oh my gosh.
Have you ever given up on something?
If you listen to this show, you're probably a fighter, right?
What about your former self, being your svelte former self?
Have you given up with that?
Are you carrying a little bit of excess luggage, if you know what I mean, especially around the middle?
I can relate.
I'm tall, I can hide it, 6'3", but being 268 pounds, it's not good.
And then I met Dr. Ashley Lucas and her amazing team at MyPhD Weight Loss and I lost 42 pounds.
My colleague, Mike Gallagher, lost 53 and capped it off!
Now, Dennis Prager is on the program, as is Mr. G. And this is those scary injections, those silly pills to pop, just a system that lets you eat five times a day.
They provide 80% of the food, and it burns the fat off.
I'm now wearing a size 36 in my blue jeans.

We're back in studio with our good friend Zev Orenstein of the City of David, the original
city under Jerusalem.
It's amazing to see.
Check it out right now.
cityofdavid.org.il He comes bearing gifts, this massive book, this coffee table book, The City of David.
I open it up to this photograph of an underground cistern and he says, oh yes, that is the site that might be close to where the Ark of the Covenant is.
But we'll talk about that next time.
This guy knows how to pitch.
That guy knows how to pitch.
Let's talk about not ancient history, but history being made right now, sadly, since October the 7th.
You're back and forth between Israel and America.
How are the people of Israel doing?
Because this is the greatest shock to their system since the Holocaust, really.
People are strong, unified.
We have a common enemy that we will do what we need to do to destroy that enemy.
This big surprise that we had though was I think the nation thought we had more friends than we did and you see the attitude of many in the world that are supporting Murderers.
Rapists.
Terrorists.
You know, the Oscars.
You had all these celebrities wearing these red handpins.
The red handpins goes back to something that happened in the early 2000s where you had terrorists in Ramallah who lynched two Israeli soldiers.
They held up their hands with blood on them, and that's the red handpin that these people are wearing.
We thought that the United States would be, I think, more supportive in allowing us to defeat Someone, an organization that is on the United States terror list.
So we're going to do what we need to do.
And I believe most people in America support what we're doing.
And we're going to get through it.
You gave us an amazing tour of the city of David underneath Jerusalem and you interjected it, not just with history, but with, you know, geopolitics and the real world today.
And you said something stunning that stuck in my mind.
Imagine trying to be Israel or being an Israeli today because for four years you had a great friend in the White House and now it's the opposite and you said you feel as if America is schizophrenic because we go hot, we go cold, we go hot, we go cold.
Is that reversal That we moved the embassy, we recognized Jerusalem, now we're giving billions of dollars to Israel's enemies and our enemies.
Do the average Israelis know how to cope with that schizophrenia from our side?
I think in Israel, but really countries throughout the region and maybe even around the world
have to take into account that you don't know what you're going to get when it comes to
American foreign policy from one administration to the next.
And therefore, countries like Israel and others in the region are saying, OK, maybe we have
to build our future not entirely dependent on America.
And there's something healthy about that.
But at the same time, I think that countries like Israel would much prefer to have a strong
alliance with the United States than have to factor in more what China is going to do
or Russia is going to do.
And so that's a loss for everybody.
Just so you understand the significance of what Zev just said.
A, you have what happened at the Oscars two days ago, where a Jewish American says he disavows his Jewishness.
I don't even know how you would do that.
Like, as an American, how I disavow my Americanness?
And to say, as a Jew, I disavow?
I mean, what level of self-hatred that requires?
But beyond that, the celebration of rape.
You think Zev is being hyperbolic?
These are the posters that are being stuck up around New York right now in other cities.
This is an image.
I'll read it for you.
It has the quote-unquote Palestinian flag and over the flag it has the following phrase and these are printed decals.
Rape is resistance and underneath just pay attention to this.
Free Palestine by any means necessary.
Think about that for a second.
There are those who say the rape of women is equivalent to being a freedom fighter, to resistance, and that this area of sovereign U.S., sovereign Israeli territory must be freed by any means, including rape, murder, And the killing of children.
I've seen that 47-minute video, the unedited body cam footage, the cell phone footage from Hamas of a father being slowly beheaded With a gardening hoe, young girls hiding under a table, being shot to death as the Hamas freedom fighters, the terrorists are laughing.
And then there's two young boys at the beginning.
One who has his eye blown out by a grenade, screaming as their dead father is lying on the floor in front of them.
It is a war between civilization and savages.
And the civilization must win.
I'm Sebastian Gawker, this is America First coming to you from the relieffactor.com studios.
Relief Factor is liberating over a million people right now from their daily pain.
I'm one of those people.
The beautiful thing about Salem is I get to pick and choose who my sponsors are.
I can say no to anyone.
That's why you won't hear me advertising hair replacement therapies or little blue pills.
So when Relief Factor came along I thought, hmm, whatever, I'll give it a try.
Because I had a low back pain issue that had plagued me for nine years, for almost a decade.
I took Relief Factor, and then two weeks later I realized, I don't have any back pain!
And that was five years ago!

Dr. G is ready for anything on America First.
All right, we're gonna see how good my team is.
I'm gonna shake it up a little bit here.
We're gonna talk about the Lake and Riley t-shirt, but I found out today that the number one t-shirt at the moment, even though I haven't mentioned it in a month or maybe three weeks, is a certain picture of President Trump in a certain country.
And I want to mention that because of our guests.
But first, To the individuals who gave me this a few weeks ago, it's a packet of cards.
It's been sitting on my studio desk since I received them.
I just wanted to mention it given what we've been talking about.
It is labeled Hamas Command Center.
It says a hospital because that's Hamas.
And it is the deck of cards inspired by the golf deck of cards we used.
During the Gulf campaign against Saddam Hussein of all the leaders of Hamas.
So this is the playing cards they're using to hunt down the leaders of Hamas responsible for October 7th.
So thank you to the gentleman who gave me this.
You know who you are.
Okay, the item that has blown us all away is the photograph of President Trump at the Temple Wall in Jerusalem.
We put it on a t-shirt with one phrase in English and Hebrew.
Our fight.
For some reason it's number one.
God bless you guys.
We put it on a mug as well.
You can get it to show your solidarity with our Jewish brethren at sebgorkastore.com.
That's S-E-B-G-O-R-K-A store.com.
And the new item today is the Lincoln Riley t-shirt with the phrase Say Her Name.
We were talking in the break, how do we end this amazing interview with you, and you talked about your first ever visit with President Trump recently in Mar-a-Lago, and you were stunned by something.
Share with us, Zev, we don't have to talk politics, but talk about the man who moved the embassy and recognized Jerusalem.
The thing that struck me in a humorous way and also a very warm way, we were sitting in this meeting and at a certain point he was talking about the renovations going on at Mar-a-Lago, and the renovations of a particular room, and at some point he's like, let's go take a look at it, and I'm like, well, this guy, he's still, you know, like the builder in New York City.
And you weren't expecting to be shown the renovations at Mar-a-Lago.
You weren't there as a building inspector.
And the thing though that I was very impressed by was he knew the names of every single worker there.
And he spoke to them, and he was warm with them.
It wasn't like they're servants or anything.
He respects them.
And to me, when you get to that station of life, you don't have to do that anymore.
But it's a measure of who you are.
That's right.
The way you behave to those who you don't have to be respectful to is a measure of a man and a woman.
And it reminds me of when I went back to see the president two years after I left the administration.
I took Mr. G there.
We were interviewing him for my second book.
My third book, The War for America's Soul, and I barely stepped into the oval.
I was like one foot in the oval.
And he says, How's Katie?
It's like, you mean my wife that you've met three times in your life at the Christmas party?
Yeah, how's Katie?
That's who Donald Trump is, and that is the man the left denies exists.
He loves America, and he's an amazing individual.
Alright guys, enough reminiscing.
Check out the amazing City of David.
cityofdavid.org.il for Israel.
Follow our buddy at Zev Orenstein on Twitter.
Next up, what's happening on the border, or more importantly south of the border, and how is Russia, Iran, and Russia and China involved?
That's next.
One on one.
Stay here on America First.
you you
from an FBI perspective we are seeing a wide array of very dangerous threats
then emanate from the border.
There is a particular network that has, where some of the overseas facilitators of the smuggling network have ISIS ties that we're very concerned about and that we've been spending an enormous amount of effort with our partners investigating.
A new threat coming from our region south of the border.
That was the director of the FBI in his latest testimony.
But I thought we had a border.
Everything was copacetic.
There's no crisis because Biden's in the White House.
Yeah, believe that?
I got a bridge to sell you.
Very special one-on-one today with a good friend of mine.
We've known each other for many years and he actually knows the truth about the region.
I can't tell you how many people reached out to me.
Friends, listeners, I don't know.
People who DM'd me after the last time we had him in studio to talk about what's really happening in our hemisphere.
So we said we have to get him back because he's been on the road.
He is former Marine, most importantly, Joseph Umire.
He is the Executive Director of the Center for a Secure Free Society.
Joseph, thank you for coming back in studio.
No, it's a pleasure, Sam.
And I have to say, I got multiple people, regular callers, listeners, strangers who said, Wow, that briefing from Joseph about what China, Iran and Russia are doing, how they're part of the caravans of illegals, absolutely stunning.
So, let's start with the Director of the FBI.
There's a new threat coming from south of the border.
You've just got back from the region.
He's right, right?
Well, he's right, except for one thing.
It's not new.
This has been going on for a long time, and those that are paying attention to Latin America, such as I do, have been seeing this escalate over the years.
And what the border really represents is a symptom of the failures of U.S.
foreign policy in Latin America for decades.
And I think part of that failure is the idea that the United States needs to play nice with China, needs to play nice with Russia, ignore Iran, And while we've been doing that, those three actors in particular have basically been dominating.
They've dominated most of South America, pretty much at this point.
And now they're focused on Mexico and Central America.
We'll talk about Mexico, as you said before we went on air, that like, that's the prize.
If they can capture Mexico, that's it.
The hemisphere is theirs.
But let's start for those who say, I mean, maybe they didn't hear your last interview.
Maybe they just tuned in.
What on earth is China?
Iran and Russia doing in Latin America?
What are they doing in our hemisphere?
China's rather far away from this region, as is Russia, as is Iran.
So let's start at the beginning.
What is their goal?
Why are they here and what are they involved in?
So, they are diminishing a geographic disadvantage that they had in the 20th century.
Now, the Soviet Union tried this in the 20th century during the Cold War to mix results.
They did get some Cuban-supported communist countries that kind of stood up, but most of them didn't last, and the Soviet Union lost the Cold War.
Since the Cold War has passed, now Russia, has decided to team up with China and Iran, which have a lot of differences among those countries, both theocratic differences with the regime in Iran, and also territorial differences with China.
But they have a common enemy.
They have a common enemy, and they have a common purpose, and that has united them in the 21st century.
And as we speak right now... For those of you who are Democrats and are listening, the common enemy is us.
It's us in the West, honestly.
The entire Western civilization.
They believe that that was a mistake, and they've got to revert that.
So as we speak right now, Russia, China, and Iran are holding their sixth naval exercise, joint naval exercise, in the Indian Ocean.
The idea is to bring that I'm going to interrupt.
This is the third time I've interrupted in five minutes.
I need to repeat this.
For those who aren't experts in the region, Russia, China and Iran are having another naval exercise in the Sea of India.
In the Sea of India?
With the intention of taking that to the Caribbean.
That's what they're training for.
They're training to bring that.
They call themselves a multipolar force.
And they're trying to bring that multipolar world into Latin America.
They've already done it successfully for most of South America.
But what they're looking at is the Gulf of Mexico.
Because if you capture Mexico, as you're alluding to, that is the geopolitical prize.
You now have the United States in checkmate.
Because you got us from the South, and then if you get the Arctic and the Canada, you got us from the North, and then you're able to squeeze the United States in asymmetric pressure that we haven't responded to.
So they're moving, and I think that they're moving specifically in 2024, because they don't know what's going to happen in 2025.
The future is uncertain.
So they're counting on today.
Well, I mean, we had Putin basically endorse Biden last week and say, yeah, I'd like Biden back in the White House.
Well, we know you'd like Biden back in the White House.
Let's talk about, I want us to really do a graduate school deep dive, because as a former military intelligence officer said, Afghanistan can be important, but it's very far away.
Likewise, Iraq.
But if Mexico really collapses, If we have not just cartels running the North, but if we have an insurgent collapsed failed state, that's far more damaging to America than something happening 8,000 miles away in the Caucasus or in Central Asia, correct?
Yeah.
Well, so here's the thing, and I'll break this down a little bit, how China operates, right?
Because they hoodwinked most of Latin America into believing that most of their interests were economic in nature.
They said, we're just here for trade and investment.
And most of Latin America, they're always open to trade investment.
Actually, when Hu Jintao went to Latin America in 2004, he promised $110 billion.
Everybody's ears perked up.
He actually fulfilled that promise.
They were $180 billion by 2010.
Wow.
And now they're at $450 billion region-wide.
But the reality of it is that China today does not have the money to be able to pour into Latin America the way they did in the first decade.
They've got problems domestically.
They've got a housing crisis, they've got a depopulation crisis, they've got a political crisis and creeping inflation.
So they're not going to be able to do what they once did during the commodity super cycle.
But what they're doing is they're leveraging those investments on specific projects related to critical infrastructure.
And there's three I'm going to mention right now.
Ports and telecommunications.
That's what the game is.
Which means you're controlling that landmass.
You're controlling the landmass, you're controlling the way things move in and out of the region, and you're establishing new trade routes.
We'll build you a massive port, but it's a Chinese port.
Exactly, a Chinese port that in the clauses of all the contracts says can be used for military exercises.
So there will be cargo ships, but there will be aircraft carriers that come next.
So China has over 40 port infrastructure projects in Latin America where they're either expanding or building.
4-0.
40, order 40.
Including 4 in Mexico.
Including 4 in Mexico and the bigger ones, the one in Peru is going to be the biggest port, it's a mega port in a city called Shanghai, the biggest port on the Pacific Ocean.
We could just spend the next hour talking about that.
If you've got 40 ports in our hemisphere that can be used for military purposes in the contracts That China signs with those nations.
That's dominance of trade.
That's dominance geopolitically and militarily.
And that's strategic positioning.
Yeah.
And this is the thing about the invasion of Taiwan that nobody talks about.
What happens when they get to the other side of the Pacific?
They're not going to invade Taiwan just to stay in the blue ocean.
No.
They're going to look at source destinations.
What's next?
Yeah.
And so, South America they have.
They have ports ready.
The one in Peru they're going to inaugurate in November this year.
Xi Jinping himself said he's going to come to inaugurate it in November this year.
I have to ask, because you are the expert, you're the smartest guy in this region that I know.
Are the governments of these regimes in the region Are they dumb?
Or are they just greedy?
Because if you're saying, I'm going to sign a contract where Communist China can use this new port, or dozens of ports, for military purposes, you have to be really greedy or really stupid.
It's a little bit of both, to be honest with you.
But that's a good point, because in my conversations, the number one pushback I get, right, is where's the United States?
Right?
They're always like, where's the United... Like, we don't want to work with China, but the United States doesn't... No, we have to!
And I don't take that reasoning because I say, OK, I get it.
The United States is absent.
We've been absent.
We have a weak administration.
I get it.
But what about your sovereignty?
What about your people?
Don't do this for us.
Do this for yourself.
And there's plenty of history and plenty of empirical evidence.
Look at Africa.
Look at the Middle East of what China does when they take up your infrastructure.
Well, and also, we've never done that.
We've never invested in other countries.
I mean, unless you're talking about World War II or what have you.
We never invest in another country and say that port is our military asset.
I mean, the closest thing to that would have been the Panama Canal, which we actually gave back to the Panamanians in the 1970s.
So we don't really do that anymore.
But I would say this.
Yeah, there's merit to the argument the United States needs to do more.
We need to reassure ourselves in the world, and specifically in Latin America.
But the Latin Americans need to realize that the Chinese are selling them fake investments.
And they're buying their future.
Yeah.
They're basically buying the future of those nations.

We'll be back with Joseph Umire after these messages.
On that spring morning, I wore a shirt that got right to the point.
There are only two genders.
When my principal pulled me out of class, I was told that people were complaining about the words on my shirt was enough to silence my speech.
I was told that I would need to change my shirt before I could return to class.
Rather than respecting my right to free speech, officials chose to censor me.
That's why, with the help of Alliance Defending Freedom and the Massachusetts Family Institute, we filed a lawsuit, calling on the court to hold my school accountable for violating my constitutional freedoms.
Since when does a child have to fight for his constitutional rights in America?
I don't mean an unborn child that's about to be aborted and doesn't have the right to life and is denied them, but a twelve-year-old schoolboy, that's Liam Morrison, who went to school one day wearing a t-shirt which said the truth, there are only two genders, and he was punished by the Middlesbrough Middle School of Massachusetts.
A 12-year-old for telling the truth!
What would you do?
Well, if you didn't have lots of money and lawyers at your disposal, the only real thing you could do to fight for your child's rights is to rely upon the amazing people at the Lions Defending Freedom.
They fought numerous cases all the way up to the Supreme Court.
Remember Jack the Cake Baker?
He was one of their clients.
And ADF doesn't charge their clients a penny.
Why?
Because they're fighting for our constitutional rights.
Freedom of religion, freedom of speech, freedom of conscience.
You could be the next person, but ADF will be there for you.
Will you help Liam right now?
Please make a donation to the Alliance Defending Freedom on my website.

I have a goal of $25,000 this month.
Can you spare $100 for all of our religious liberties?
It's probably the best investment you'll make.

We're back with the author of a book you need to understand what our enemies are doing in our backyard.
It's Iran's strategic penetration of Latin America, Ilan Berman, oh wow, we like him too, and Joseph Humideh of the Center for a Secure and Free Society, securefreesociety.org.
Okay, I just want to put this infographic up that you sent me literally in the green room about 30 minutes ago.
This, for our listeners, is a map of China's ports.
Communist China's infrastructure investments across Latin America.
It is a sea of red.
I will be posting it on my Twitter, my Facebook, my Instagram, because this man has the receipts for what's happening in America's backyard.
No, let's go a little bit closer to home because he just got back from a, you know, this is one of the guys who doesn't sit in an office in, you know, DC and just pontificates.
He goes out and he actually does the research.
Let's talk about the region.
Let's put a map up there with both of us as well so we can talk through the map.
So, we've got Panama, Costa Rica, Nicaragua, Honduras, Guatemala, Belize, Colombia at the end.
We've got Mexico.
Can you talk us through the reality of this region in terms of penetration, democracy, authoritarianism?
Okay, so let's begin with, first, the recipe that they did in South America was to come in through diplomacy and economic engagement, and then they would switch that to intelligence and military cooperation.
So going first with trade deals.
Trade deals.
And then morph it over time into intelligence, covert military operations, and then just geopolitical influence.
Absolutely, with the strategic purpose of positioning.
So let's go back to the map in Central America.
So the country I just came back from is Honduras.
Honduras is the country that most recently, the last country I believe in the world, to break diplomatic relations with Taiwan in favor of the PRC.
So that's a really important metric.
The last nation to break relations with Free Taiwan in favor of Communist China.
Sending a message that we're on your side, China.
Yeah, and it's a socialist government in Honduras under President Xiomara Castro.
Who's good friends with Kamala Harris, I heard.
Nonetheless, I was down there and what really got my attention is this, and we were talking about this a second ago, is almost everywhere else that China has presence in Latin America, they boast about their presence.
They put their flag up, they have their embassy, they hold receptions.
In Honduras, they're hidden.
Even though they have official relations, they won't deny that.
Do they have an embassy, but it's not on the street with a flag?
It's in the fifth floor of a hotel in Tegucigalpa, the capital.
It's in a suite, basically.
There are Chinese embassies hidden inside a hotel?
Yeah, essentially.
Why?
I have no idea.
I have no idea exactly why, but I'll tell you what I think.
I think the reason is, is because they're trying to work with and through the Honduran government to not make the Honduran government look like a proxy of China, in fact, of which they are.
So to not give the impression that they've captured the state, but to use it as a smokescreen.
Correct, correct.
Given that Taiwan, even though it doesn't have diplomatic relations, do have a lot of trade and commerce and cultural relations with Honduras.
And then the second point to that is strategically.
Honduras, if you look at it from the lens of a cockpit, it's pretty much that bridge in Central America from South America up to Mexico.
And what you see in Honduras is a big landmass that connects the Pacific to the Caribbean.
So what China's been working on over time, both in South America and Central America,
is building trans-oceanic railways, ways to connect the Pacific to the Atlantic and the
Caribbean so they don't depend on the Panama Canal.
Because once the Panama Canal, it becomes collapsed or it becomes bottlenecked, you
hit 7 percent of global shipping and 30 percent of U.S.
trade.
And that's essentially where they're going to go to.
Right now, if that happens, you're going to hurt Chinese trade as well because they depend
on the canal until they can get those trans-oceanic shipping online.
And so that's another thing that they're doing in Honduras.
They're actually building a port right on the end of the Pacific called San Lorenzo,
the Gulf of Fonseca.
And here's the thing.
This is where I really figured out.
They're really rebuilding Soviet infrastructure.
This is where the Cold War was happening.
This is where the Soviets were putting all their money.
If you go to the Gulf of Fonseca, if you look on the map, essentially the Soviets used to arm the Sandinistas in Nicaragua and send those weapons across the Gulf of Fonseca to the FMLN in Salvador, the guerrillas in Salvador.
It was right through that waterway.
The United States Marines and the Navy SEALs put a base inside the Gulf of Fonseca, which is now under the new Honduran government starting to work with China.
So they're taking what the U.S.
infrastructure was to stop the Soviets during the Cold War and taking it over and using it for themselves.
Absolutely stunning.
We've only discussed one country so far.
It's the one that Joseph has just come back from.
We need to know this.
Why?
Because this is the neighborhood.
It's like, you've got a nice house, but what if the rest of the neighborhood is taken over by bad guys?
You need to know that, don't you?
Well, that's the situation with America and south of the border.
We'll go through them momentarily.
But talking of t-shirts and our ADF campaign and freedom of speech, we just came up with this one.
After the State of the Union from Joe Biden, a man who wouldn't say Lake and Riley's name.
And when he was heckled, he said it wrong.
We've put Lake and Riley's photograph on a t-shirt and her name.
And all the t-shirt says is say her name, Lake and Riley.
I think, I don't know.
I can get, get things wrong.
I think this is going to be our most popular item.
I'm going to put one on.
I'm going to wear it.
I'm going to post it on social media.
It's available today.

It has fast become one of my favorite clips.
It is from Senator Ted Cruz talking to who I believe is the most evil member, and I mean that very sincerely, the most evil member of the Biden administration, the Secretary for Homeland Security, Alejandro Mayorkas.
What are these wristbands?
I don't know what they are.
You don't know what they are?
Mr. Secretary, you have just testified to the American people you're incompetent at your job.
Because I've been to the southern border, and if you go to the southern border, along the southern border, you see thousands of these wristbands.
Because the illegal immigrants wear them.
The drug cartels, every color corresponds to how many thousands of dollars they owe the cartels.
You've turned these cartels into multi-billion dollar criminal organizations, and these are modern day leg irons.
Because these are children being sold into sex slavery, and you don't even know what they are!
That is astonishing!
It is astonishing, but not if your policy is to, what, purchase new voters?
And because they've got brown skin, if you naturalize them, you think you'll have Democrats for life?
That's the deep bigotry of the current administration.
Joseph, Can you give us a snapshot of what's happened in the last three years because it's not people want a better life and there's just these random groups of people crossing the border.
I mean the wristband thing tells you enough.
Can you talk about how this is industrialized and how this is networked and how it's supported by bad actors who want to destabilize America?
Well, first, I mean, that's really astonishing, to be honest with you, that the Secretary of Homeland Security doesn't know what every law enforcement officer knows, that that's how they segment the different migrants.
They give them different color wristbands, and that's basically like a purchase receipt for whatever you paid.
Like, I paid five grand, I paid ten grand, this is how much I still owe you.
Exactly.
I mean, this is like, it's basic law enforcement 101, and the Secretary... There's not one sheriff's deputy in a border county who doesn't know what that thing is that the Secretary doesn't know.
That's astonishing, that's astonishing.
But to your question, so human smuggling and the twin cousin of human smuggling, human trafficking, which is an economic crime, sex trafficking, has probably on the verge of eclipsing drug trafficking in terms of profits for cartels and other illicit activities.
You don't need labs.
The labor costs are low.
You could actually recycle the costs because it's not, you know, the reason CPB measures this in encounters and apprehensions and not people, because it could be the same person that repeatedly tries to get across the border and they get taxed all the same.
So this industry, I call it the migrant industrial complex, right?
This industry includes NGOs.
It includes lawyers.
It includes law firms.
Things like Catholic charities.
Charities.
It includes politicians and it includes transportation networks.
And what it's done is it's a booming industry to move massive amounts of people from all corners of the world.
We're talking about billions of dollars.
I mean billions.
Don't go into building apartment blocks in El Salvador.
They go into the pockets of crime cartels.
Yeah, like cocaine, for instance, is about a $180 billion global industry.
The fact that cartels are looking to wedge their cocaine industry for human smuggling tells you how big that industry really is.
It's in the billions of dollars.
And so what that's actually doing is it's creating incentives for all kinds of gangs from all over the world to come to the U.S.
southern border.
And nations.
And nations, and the nations behind them.
Like the Chinese Snakehead, right?
That's an organized crime gang that specializes in human smuggling, that was smuggling Chinese migrants into Sri Lanka.
They're now on the southern border, because they're making more money at that than they do back in Asia.
Let's go back to our map of Central America, and just tell us, you've talked about the land bridge, the importance of Nicaragua.
Talk to us about the very top there, Mexico.
What happens if they actually undermine Mexico more than it's already undermined?
So we need to really pay attention to Mexico.
It has an election this year.
The current president of Mexico is an anti-American.
He hates the United States.
He works with all the socialists in the region.
He invites China in.
But under President Trump, we put him in check because we said, listen, We understand you don't like us.
We understand you have these socialist fantasies.
But at the end of the day, we're your largest trade partner.
You depend on us.
And we have a great defense cooperation.
He said we're going to put a 30% tariff on goods unless you behave.
And they behaved.
You could do it on goods.
You could do it on remittances.
We have leverage here.
The United States has leverage.
Under the Biden administration, we have given all that leverage up.
And by giving all that leverage up, what has happened?
Mexico has gotten more embraced by China, Russia, and Iran.
China is now not just developing ports, but is also looking at lithium as a strategic reserve to have concession on the lithium deposits.
And this is the big secret about Mexico, is Mexico is going to position our adversaries' militaries into their country to destabilize the United States through special operations.
And that's what we have to look forward to if their policies continue.
So it's not going to be missiles in Cuba.
It's going to be irregular warfare actors literally in the nation that is just south of our border.
Yeah, and they're going to be flipping it on us.
They're going to be basically using the cartels, using the human smugglers, using all of them through the open borders.
In radicalizing specific communities along the borders to be anti-American, to be anti-United States.
And that's the plan, that's the direction that they're going.
However, they're banking on the re-election of President Biden.
Because if President Biden is re-elected, they know how to play that card.
They know the weakness that emits and they know how to maneuver.
They're really not hoping that President Trump comes back because they know the amount of leverage that the United States can put on Mexico if they need to.
And that's why we have quite reliable reports in the last three weeks that there were talks between the Biden administration and the Mexican government to slow the roll, to just slow the caravans down until November so they can get Biden re-elected.
Slow the spigot, don't make it look like it's as bad a crisis as it is, and then open the spigot and the borders again.
And we're talking to the author of a crucial book, a co-author with our friend Ilan Berman.
The book is Iran's strategic penetration of Latin America and please check it out as well

Last question.
This has flown by.
Thank you, Joseph, for telling the truth, for going to these places to find out what our enemies are doing in our hemisphere.
My engineer wants to know, can we just start the Monroe Doctrine?
Can we just rev it up and start it up again?
Answer that question by telling us, what happens if the bad guys win in our hemisphere?
Well, if the bad guys win, I mean, it's checkmate against the United States.
I mean, if we lose in Latin America, we will lose everywhere in the world.
And that's the thing that a lot of the defense hucks don't understand.
You can't support Ukraine, you can't support Israel, if your border's going to collapse.
If you can't secure your backyard, you can't do anything.
If you lose your sovereignty, you're gone.
Right.
And so, I argue, not just the Monroe Doctrine, I mean, you could go back to Andrew... Which means what stuff happens in our backyard is of a vital interest to America.
No intervening powers from abroad.
In that case, it was the European monarchies.
Today, it's China and Iran and Russia.
But the main fundamental premise here is, if we go back to the founding fathers of Andrew Jackson and the Battle of New Orleans, of Thomas Jefferson and the idea of no entanglements, of James Monroe and the Monroe Doctrine, we understand that the basics of foreign policy is to have a secure area of affinity.
America cannot be great if its neighborhood, as you said, is collapsing.
And it doesn't make sense that the big brains in Washington all have grand strategies for every part of the world except the one in which we live.
It's like China saying we have a big plan for the world but nothing for the Indo-Pacific.
It makes no sense.
So a successful strategy will prioritize our neighborhood, would prioritize a great power competition, actually competing against our adversaries and winning, and then securing our neighborhood so we can help our allies abroad.
This is really getting my geopolitical juices flowing.
Here's my analogy.
You've got to boil it down to simple things.
What we're seeing right now with the elites, the experts, is as if the mayor of Baltimore has plans for how to fix the drug problem in LA.
It's like, really?
How about the shootings every weekend in Baltimore?
That's the situation that these people have created in our country.
I want to salute you, Joseph Umire, former Marine, Marine forever, Executive Director of the Center for a Secure Free Society.
Thank you for continuing to serve the truth.
And our Republic.
You've been listening to a very special America First one-on-one.
