	So, I'm going to go ahead and start the video.
	I'm going to start the video.
	And I'm going to be back in a minute.
	And also there's a woman who gets her news from the New York Times and Google.
	She is from Chinatown.
	So for that reason, oh, we have a fire over here.
	Turn the camera.
	Guys, there's a fire.
	There's a fire that has started, as you can see, live.
	We wonder if a person is on fire.
	In the fire.
	We apologize for showing this.
	Get a fire extinguisher.
	Do we have a fire extinguisher in the truck?
	Do we have a fire extinguisher in the truck?
	Connor, bring a fire extinguisher out.
	Anyone have a fire extinguisher?
	We deeply apologize for what has happened.
	That happened just moments ago as we were preparing for the show in Manhattan outside the court.
	It was in a barricaded off park just outside the court where the politically motivated trial against President Trump is proceeding.
	Apparently, according to initial reports, a man set himself on fire.
	As we speak, this is breaking news.
	One of the officers, the deputy commissioner, is giving an impromptu press conference at the location.
	My guys will be monitoring it.
	If we have more information on the status of the individual and any possible motivation, we will share that with you.
	It is Friday.
	I'm Sebastian Gorka.
	This is America First.
	Well, we are in the new cycle as it was in 2016.
	Things are moving very, very quickly and there's one thing that's clear.
	They want to suppress your capacity to choose the next president.
	This, again, outside the courtroom.
	Now, President Trump talking concerning the way he has been gagged.
	The leader of the opposition, a man who has been a president and could so easily be president again, is being forbidden from exercising his First Amendment rights.
	Cut one.
	The gag order has to come off.
	People are allowed to speak about me and I have a gag order, just to show you how much more unfair it is.
	And the conflict has to end with the judge.
	The judge has a conflict the worst I've ever seen.
	And it has to end with the judge.
	The gag order has to come off.
	I should be allowed to speak.
	Every time I come out to speak to you, I want to be open because we did absolutely nothing wrong.
	I showed you yesterday 30 stories, 32 stories of experts, legal experts, and I don't have one the other way.
	32 stories of legal experts saying very strongly, there's no case, this occasion has been brought, Trump did nothing wrong.
	And they say it strongly, Trump did nothing wrong.
	So, they ought to get rid of the conflict with the judge, because that's something that he cannot do anything about.
	It's wrong.
	It's wrong.
	And the second thing is, I have to be released on a gag order.
	They've taken away my constitutional rights to speak, and that includes speaking to you.
	I have a lot to say to you, and I'm not allowed to say it.
	And I'm the only one.
	Everyone else can say whatever they want about me.
	They can say anything they want.
	They can continue to make up lies and everything else.
	They lie.
	They're real scum.
	But you know what?
	I'm not allowed to speak.
	And I want to be able to speak to the press and everybody else about it.
	So why am I gay about telling the truth?
	I'm only telling the truth.
	They're not telling the truth.
	The judge has to take off this gag line.
	It's very, very unfair that my constitutional rights have been taken away.
	Thank you very much.
	He has rights.
	Or he should have rights.
	Rights that every American has.
	To freedom of speech.
	Especially so because he's running for the highest office of the land, which means he has to communicate with those who he wishes to win over as his voters.
	But he's not allowed to speak the truth or even give his opinion.
	Because of the judge, whose daughter has received millions of dollars from the campaigns of Kamala Harris, of Adam Schiff, and who is raising funds, literally using her father's case to raise funds as we speak.
	Jeff, I don't watch ESPN.
	I recognize Stephen Smith's face.
	We're going to play this cut on his take of what's happening to President Trump.
	Who is this person?
	What is he known for politically?
	How should we interpret this statement?
	He's very popular with ESPN.
	It's been probably almost like 20 years now.
	I think it was like 05, 06 he kind of started to get popular.
	So he's been around for a long time.
	And he is a Democrat.
	But not a loony Democrat, right?
	No, he's a reasonable Democrat.
	Okay, and I think what, because I recognize his face, he must be one of their most popular hosts, correct?
	Yeah, like I said, it's been for at least a decade, if not two decades.
	Okay, so this is a Democrat, super popular host on ESPN, and this is his take as a Democrat on what you just heard from President Trump.
	Cut to.
	When I think about Donald Trump, I think about this case in New York.
	I mean, I'm looking at the Democrats right now, and again, primarily, I have voted Democrat throughout my life, but I'm utterly disgusted with what I'm seeing, because it seems to me that they're trying to use the law and the courts.
	They've clearly politicized this thing with Donald Trump.
	Because they can't come up with a strategy to offset the momentum.
	He's clearly gayed.
	In at least five polls, he's up.
	He's up in the polls over Biden, at least five polls that I counted.
	That's the reality of the situation.
	Despite the counts against them, the indictments against them, being impeached twice, and all of this other stuff, he is the presumptive GOP nominee.
	And you don't seem to have the issues in your favor, you believe, so because of that you're going to manipulate the system as best as you possibly can to avoid him possibly running for re-election again.
	That appears to be their strategy but I'm here to tell you it's not working.
	Now what's interesting about that statement?
	The thing that's interesting is not that as a Democrat He's giving advice to his fellow Democrats or to the Biden regime or his colleagues in the media.
	What he said is, as a Democrat, I'm disgusted.
	That's an indictment of his whole party.
	Rejecting us by saying what you are doing is wrong.
	You're using the judicial system for political purposes.
	Okay, apparently, I'm watching the coverage right now, the man who self-immolated outside the Manhattan court is in critical condition.
	And the fire chief, the commissioner, the fire commissioner for New York has just spoken.
	Her name is Laura Kavanagh.
	We can put a photograph up of her.
	And I spent a lot of time with the firemen in New York, especially for a thing, a special documentary I filmed on 9-11.
	And I looked at that woman and I said, she's no firefighter.
	I'm just curious.
	Put that photograph up again.
	Keep it up while I'm talking.
	What is Laura Kavanaugh?
	Have a guess, Jeff.
	Have a guess about Laura Kavanaugh's firefighting experience to become the commissioner for New York.
	I'm gonna guess that she's a lawyer and went to an Ivy League school and never fought fires.
	She was a special assistant to Mayor de Blasio and worked as deputy director in Pennsylvania on Barack Obama's re-election campaign.
	It's not surprising.
	Isn't that stunning?
	Well that's like, remember the bridge?
	Who was the woman that she basically was a senate staffer and now?
	Oh yeah, the head of the NTSB who worked as a liaison for the Teamsters and then as a senate staffer and then was made the head of the National Transport Safety Board.
	Basically there's no reason to go to college or get experience anymore.
	All you have to do is be a senate staffer or work on a campaign.
	She's the commissioner!
	The fire commissioner for New York!
	She worked on Barack Obama's, oh, sorry, it says, third paragraph on Wikipedia, she has run several marathons.
	Well, in that case, right?
	Well, she has stamina.
	This world is just, it's a, the Democrats, it's a clown show.
	That's the Commissioner of Fire.
	Get Trump back!
	Get Trump back!
	Put the yard sign outside your home that says Trump 2024 with the mug shot.
	Get the t-shirt.
	Get the mug.
	SebGorkaStore.com.
	Come on!
	Can we live in sanity once more?
	Support him.
	DonaldJTrump.com.
	Happy Friday.
	We'll be back in a moment.
	The calls, the call board is full!
	I wonder why.
	The Commissioner!
	Nothing surprises me anymore.
	I'm surprised that you guys are still surprised at this stuff.
	Come on, man!
	But that's a real job!
	And?
	That's a real job!
	And what did Mayor Pete deserve to be?
	Secretary of Transportation.
	Yeah, but look, that's politics!
	That's one of the biggest cities in the world and you're the Fire Commissioner!
	Amazing.
	Surprised they didn't pick a black person.
	Oh, this is the one!
	This is the one who was heckled in the St.
	Patrick's Day parade because she promised to go after the firefighters who booed Letitia James.
	That's her!
	Wow.
	Apparently Alex said the guy had a manifesto that set himself on fire online.
	But do we know any details?
	Do you know anything about it, Alex?
	Politically?
	I think he's reading it now.
	Thanks.
	Anti-Peter Thiel.
	Anti-Peter Thiel?
	So he's a lefty?
	Unless he's a homophobe.
	Of course he is.
	No Trump supporter would do that.
	He probably tried to get selected as a juror and they dismissed him.
	His name is Max Azzarello.
	He's from St.
	Augustine, Florida.
	Went to UNC.
	So he's an Italian.
	Who's finding all this?
	Do we know that's real?
	Yeah, it is.
	I'm reading it right now.
	Newsweek and then there's links on the Newsweek website.
	That was fast.
	Yeah.
	Don't be suspicious.
	Of course.
	This just blows my mind.
	Blows my mind.
	I wouldn't be surprised if it was just like an anti-Israel guy.
	Anti-Israel people would do something like that.
	Obama campaign advisor.
	Kavanaugh?
	No, Obama.
	Kavanaugh.
	She was an advisor to Kavanaugh.
	Um, Alex, you can give us a little bit of that update, and just make sure you give us the sources, alright?
	We'll do Cruz here, then we'll go straight to Matt.
	Okay, mics are on, and Matt's on the line.
	Mr. Boyle!
	Dr. G, how are you, sir?
	It's Friday, I'm good, and I'm highly caffeinated.
	I've had two Diet Pepsis, so I'm ready to go.
	That's an enormous amount of Diet Pepsi.
	It's a scary amount, because I don't need to be caffeinated.
	I do not need to be caffeinated.
	How are you doing, brother?
	Doing great, sir!
	Doing great!
	Good!
	It's terrible what's happening to our country, though, right?
	Like, the Democrats took over Congress.
	I was, uh... Yeah, we'll talk about that.
	We'll talk about that.
	Incredible, incredible.
	All right, so let's talk, let's have a look.
	What's the latest on Breitbart?
	It's the Johnson stuff, I thought, right?
	Yeah, no, no, no, no.
	They've got the video.
	More Republicans to vacate.
	What's the latest on how many want to vacate, Matt?
	I don't know.
	I think it's up to three, formally, but then there's several others that are saying maybe.
	Crazy time.
	Crazy time.
	Alright, 30 seconds.
	Crews at the top, you said here?
	Yeah.
	Okay.
	You You
	Making sense out of today's nonsense. Here's dr. Sebastian Gorka
	And there's a lot of it.
	We've got an update.
	Alex, according to sources you found online, there's an identity to the man who set himself on fire outside the court where President Trump is being politically persecuted.
	What's the latest we've heard, please?
	We have his name.
	His name is Max Azzarello.
	He's from St.
	Augustine, Florida and graduated from UNC Chapel Hill.
	And then there's some kind of manifesto.
	What do we know politically about his writings?
	It's filled with conspiracy theories.
	That's all we have.
	And leftist, right?
	Kind of leftist stuff.
	It's up in the air right now.
	Up in the air.
	All right.
	We'll keep you posted.

	He is the Washington bureau chief for the juggernaut of consortiums, and that is Breitbart.
	Happy Friday, Matt Boyle!
	Dr. G, always a pleasure.
	Great to be here.
	So, Mike Johnson, the Speaker, motioned to vacate, to get rid of him.
	What's the latest?
	What should we understand about the new civil war inside the House Republicans?
	Yeah, look, this is a historic moment in that Mike Johnson surrendered operational control of the House of Representatives to the Democrats last night in the Rules Committee and today on the floor of the House of Representatives with the passage of the rule.
	More Democrats than Republicans voted for the rule.
	This has never happened before in American history where the minority party carries a rule for the majority party.
	What we have in essence right now is a What does this mean, what happened last night?
	coalition government between the Democrats and the establishment
	Republicans and there is no more House Republican majority.
	It's gone.
	What does this mean what happened last night because he's still the
	speaker but what technically changed? Well what happened is that there
	were three Republicans on the Rules Committee who voted against the rule
	emerging from the committee and four Democrats made up for it on the Rules
	Committee to carry the rule out of the committee.
	And then on the floor today, same thing.
	More broader, bigger numbers, right?
	Because it's a full House.
	i wear there were not enough republican to carry the war in democrat made up the
	difference in a lot more that right like almost all the democrats voted for it
	but there were more democrats and republicans have voted for it
	i mean that since what happened here is that mike johnson not only left the republican party but became a
	co-speaker of the house with hecking jeffrey checking jeffries is the
	co-speaker of the house right now along with mike johnson and so the
	question then becomes what will happen in terms of a motion of a cable there be
	on such a push will will that succeed will it carry will democrat save him i
	don't know uh... but at the end of the day here at the door republican
	majority is finished there is no more republican majority in the house
	representatives are we now have a
	uh... i would get that coalition style are you in a party government formally now uh... voted in
	on this rule uh... in the house representatives that carry these bills
	through party i think and regardless of whatever you think of those
	uh... proposals the fact that this is how it happened uh...
	It is truly a historic moment in that Mike Johnson has surrendered operational control of the House of Representatives and nullified the Republican majority and handed it to the Democrats.
	Yeah, I need to push back on this because he's still the Speaker, Matt.
	There is no co-speakership.
	There's no constitutional change.
	For all intents and purposes, there is.
	No, no, no, but he's still the Speaker of the House.
	But he can't pass bills without Democrat votes.
	Right.
	So what's the solution?
	What's the response?
	Because there's nobody else there.
	There's nobody else who would have the votes to replace him.
	We know that he was a compromised candidate when they got rid of Kevin McCarthy.
	So what option is left for the GOP?
	I don't know.
	So the Republican conference is in a very serious bad position, but the fact is that for all intents and purposes, for operational structure of the House of Representatives now, there's a power-sharing agreement between Mike Johnson and his wing of Republicans, the Democrats and Hakeem Jeffries.
	So while constitutionally, no, there's not a co-speaker of the House in terms of practice and operations as it's going to operate now moving forward, there is.
	But the Democrats do not have the majority of the vote.
	So even functionally, this concept of a co-speakership doesn't really functionally hold because they do not have the majority of the vote.
	So whatever happened last night doesn't change two things.
	The GOP still has a slim margin and the formal speaker is Mike Johnson.
	But again, they can't get anything done without turning to the Democrats.
	Every single major piece of legislation they've done, and now this latest one is the latest example, but it's the most extreme in that it's about the rule, right?
	But if you look back at the way they did FISA, the way they did the spending bill, the way they passed all of these other big pieces of legislation under suspension of the rules, But surely the same thing applies to the Democrats, or even more so, because they do not have the majority of the votes.
	They can't push anything through by themselves.
	in a vote where Johnson created a power-sharing agreement with Hakeem
	Jeffries. Surely the same thing applies to the Democrats or even more so
	because they do not have the majority of the votes. They can't push anything
	through by themselves. So it's just a stalemate. And frankly what it's
	impressive on their part that they've been able to, I mean I disagree with them
	policy-wise, but I mean they've been able to leverage being in the minority into
	enormous amounts of control, right?
	So they've maneuvered their minority far more effectively than Mike Johnson has maneuvered the majority.
	Well, because they take politics seriously, Matt.
	Correct.
	And the Republicans need it.
	This is a wake-up call.
	This should be a wake-up call to Republicans across the country, that not only do you need to elect Republicans, but you need to elect good ones, right?
	That's why primaries matter, right?
	This is a serious, important thing.
	So if you are upset watching this, what's happening in Congress. You know, we're talking about
	the guy who set himself on fire outside of the courthouse, right? Like, I mean, this is
	what happened. The House Republican majority just set themselves on fire, right? Like, if you
	are upset watching this, then you need to do something about it. Figure out who your congressman is
	and get involved and get someone good if they're not good. It's also a wake-up call in
	another regard. If you're MAGA, bloody well run for the speakership.
	Don't hide.
	If you are America First, if you're a Jim Jordan, if you've fought battles and you say you're MAGA, don't hide.
	Don't force Americans to settle on compromise candidates.
	Many things to learn from that.
	Thank you for helping us chart the unknown shoals of the latest situation.

	We'll be back in a moment.
	Mike's are hot.
	Yeah.
	Yeah, I mean, yeah.
	There's no co-speakership in America.
	Thanks for watching.
	The guy's a lunatic on both sides.
	So one of those usual... Goes back to the Clinton and George, first George Bush, CIA.
	It's a Ponzi scheme and all this stuff and this that.
	He ripped conservatives and the left.
	He's one of those, uh, what is he, fascist communists?
	I think so.
	And then he shared the link for his Instagram story.
	He's had the proof of all this, but that's been taken down.
	Of course.
	It's amazing how fast they are in taking that stuff down when it's embarrassing.
	I'm just trying to think if he's ever called here, because it sounds like one of those phone calls I've taken.
	Why hasn't the motion to vacate progressed, then?
	Like, what's holding it up?
	I don't know.
	It's got two co-sponsors.
	I don't know.
	I don't know.
	It's got to, you know, advance to the floor or whatever.
	Neat titles, by the way.
	Chris, Monologue, Matt.
	Chris.
	Oh, not a lot.
	Popular media Democrat is disgusted with his party.
	Thank you.
	We'll see you next time.
	Then, for Chris... Oh, good.
	Nice.
	Send it to me, Alex.
	For Chris, what should we do?
	For Chris... A forgotten movie classic.
	The Thin Man.
	And then for Matt, did Johnson just hand over the speakership to the Dems?
	I go to calls.
	Oh, did you ever manage to reach out to Ray from Livermore?
	Yeah, he said he's really busy, but he's gonna call in one day next week.
	Good.
	That's what happens when you work for yourself.
	What's a good cut to come in with?
	We've played Trump, we've played Burning Man.
	Come in with 11, then I'll tee up 17, and then we'll do Maipolo.
	T-up 17 and then we'll do my pillow. Oh, Casio.
	Oh, yeah.
	Oh yeah.
	2, 11, 14, 16.
	2, 11, you said 14 and 16?
	Yep.
	Alright.
	You said 14 and 16?
	2.
	Yep.
	Two.
	Influential Democrat ESPN host Stephen Smith is disgusted with the Democrat Party.
	Eleven.
	Four.
	Five.
	Six.
	Seven.
	Eight.
	Nine.
	Ten.
	Eleven.
	What's it take to be an electrician?
	You get a little bit of training.
	Four to five years of training to become an electrician.
	The best in the world!
	That's why it's the real thing.
	Why is he yelling again?
	I don't get it.
	And what was this?
	Was this yesterday, Jeff?
	Were these yesterday?
	Two of them were yesterday.
	I think that one was today.
	Was that the electrician one?
	Yeah, that was today.
	What about the exporting one?
	That was today, too, because I have a theory.
	Okay, we'll get to your theory in a second, but why haven't you given me a proper title for Cut17?
	Can you not do your job?
	You're supposed to be the best producer in radio.
	What are you doing, Jeff?
	I think this is the most proper title that you could have.
	And also the automatic transcript just says incoherent.
	I'm just razzing him.
	So the title for this is, question mark, what is Biden exporting?
	Well, dear listeners, you tell me, Cut17.
	Well, instead of important foreign products, I'm exporting verb-verb products.
	Products?
	He said, I'm exporting verb-verb products.
	Just play that again, Eric.
	Well, instead of important foreign products, I'm exporting verb-verb products.
	Verb-verb products.
	Eric, am I missing something?
	Verb-verb products?
	Sounds like an extremely distorted version of Christian Bale's Batman voice of verb-verb products.
	Alex, you are the board op.
	You're supposed to have the best ears because you're the music man.
	What's Werbera Products?
	Your guess isn't as good as mine.
	No!
	You're the engineer!
	You're the board op!
	What is Werbera Products?
	He said something about importing.
	I don't know.
	Let's play it one more time.
	Just do it.
	Just do it.
	Well, seven important foreign products.
	I'm exporting their products.
	I'm sorry, that just cheered me up.
	Thank you so much.
	I never thought I'd say thank you to Slow Joe.

	I want to play it again, but I'm not going to go.
	I'm not going to go there.
	Okay.
	Let's talk to somebody who wants to talk about Mike Johnson.
	Glenn Phoenix.
	Glenn, you're up!
	Yes, sir.
	So, in the very beginning, I listened to Salem all day.
	So, I listened to you, I listened to Hugh Hewitt.
	I called in and I said in the very beginning, there's absolutely no reason to touch this man.
	I don't care what people tell me.
	I believe what people show me.
	Up to that point, he had showed me nothing.
	I had to believe in him.
	Fast forward eight months, almost nine months.
	Does anybody know whatever happened to the impeachment of Joe Biden?
	What is that going to do with Mike Johnson?
	He's been in the chair for like two months.
	Why are you saying nine months?
	You're talking about Mike Johnson, right?
	What has the impeachment of Joe Biden got to do?
	He's only been Speaker for like eight weeks.
	He's been Speaker since October, dude.
	What are you talking about?
	Last year.
	So Speaker Mike Johnson, when do you think we got rid of him?
	You got rid of Kevin McCarthy last September, dude.
	So what is your evidence that he's a bad guy?
	He is.
	He's a- No, no, no.
	Stop.
	You called in to say, I told you so.
	I warned you.
	Okay.
	What was your evidence way back then when nobody wanted to be speaker?
	I don't need evidence.
	You have to show me.
	Go, go away.
	You don't need evidence.
	You're done.
	Line one.
	Dave.
	Thank you, Dr. Gorka.
	Happy Warrior, an inaugural War Room Gladiator Academy magadittos from State 48, sir.
	Wow, you're getting, you're upping the game every single time you call in.
	What topic would you like to discuss?
	Well, I had an amazing week.
	I got to go to the General Flynn movie premiere in Phoenix.
	Thank you for your recommendation.
	Bought VIP tickets for that.
	Good.
	And then yesterday we went to Vegas to the inaugural War Room Gladiator Academy put on by Admiral Bannon.
	Lots of Breitbart dittos out there for you guys.
	So tell us about the Academy.
	What happened there?
	I'm curious, Dave.
	He had a bunch of people there, lawyers.
	Mike Lindell went over his case.
	A bunch of social media influencers highlighted his team at the War Room.
	Including the amazing Elizabeth running the Telegram channel, and just gave us some cold hard facts how to get involved, how to do FOIA.
	Okay, so this is important.
	Give us one thing that struck you the most about how patriots can get involved.
	Give us one thing, Dave.
	We've got a couple of seconds left.
	The most important thing is go to your county seat, county recorder, city hall, and request the receipts for everything they do.
	Everything they do is done in public.
	They are our servants.
	And as I do every day, I call Representative Gosar from AZCD9.
	And I tell him to vacate the chair every single day.
	Love it.
	Never let up on the pressure because he's my servant.
	Full stop.
	Get the receipts and never let the pressure up.
	Thank you Dave.
	Stay on the line.
	Let's get Dave our booking photograph yard sign Trump 2024 so the world knows that he's one of the good guys.
	You can get yours at SebGorkerStore.com If you want to have the easiest way to support the Patriot side, stop funding the left.
	How do you do that?
	You disconnect your cell phone from the big cell phone providers that are funding Democrat causes like Planned Parenthood.
	Switch to the only Christian conservative cell phone company.
	It's the one I use.
	It's Patriot Mobile.
	They have the same nationwide coverage.
	Free activation with my name.
	Keep your old number, keep your old phone, or they'll get you an upgrade.
	But do it today.
	Don't fund those who hate America.
	Join the good guys.

	That's 972-728-7468.
	Do it today.
	it's as easy as clicking patriot mobile.com slash Gawker like so.
	Alright, what have we done?
	Still got the Scarborough cuts if you want to use it.
	Yep, yep, yep.
	Isn't Casio off today?
	Ooh, he might be.
	Let me see that email.
	Can you check what it said?
	Oh, it said this weekend, Monday, he's out.
	He's out at the weekend?
	He's on the 21st.
	Yeah, he's off the weekend.
	And Monday.
	Is he off today?
	No, he's here today.
	Alright, so let's send him stuff so that he can schedule.
	Play me card 8 again. 8.
	I'd love to tell the story about meeting President Biden, because when you meet him, this guy's as sharp as a knife.
	They have nothing else to attack, because they can't attack the things that he's doing that are so good for this country.
	Joe Biden gets things done.
	That's just who he is.
	Alright, come in with that, and then do Chris Hayes, the next one.
	Understandably, after all that information and those opinions about her had gone out into the world, she found herself feeling scared, targeted, and exposed.
	Judge Marchand agreed to excuse juror number two from duty.
	Again, there's no doubt about what happened here.
	This is part of a long, consistent, and persistent pattern in which Donald Trump encourages and the MAGA world pursues the harassment, intimidation of people who cross the former president.
	It has happened a ton.
	It's happened to several key figures in his legal cases.
	What is he talking about?
	What evidence is there of Trump supporters and jurors?
	This is what they've gone with, and Lawrence O'Donnell did too.
	All Trump did was tweet a quote from Jesse Waters.
	Yeah.
	Just saying that it was something, it wasn't even bad.
	That's all it is.
	And they're just twisting it.
	He's intimidating the voters.
	He's telling his followers to harass these people.
	They're also saying there's too much information given.
	They were able to figure out.
	One says the woman was a nurse.
	There's no way you would know who that person was.
	Wasn't there an O'Donnell cut for today as well?
	No, yesterday.
	What was that?
	The same thing, but he went way over the top.
	He's intimidating witnesses and all this stuff.
	Do you want it?
	No, just come in with cut eight.
	Is that a campaign ad, cut eight?
	Yeah.
	Yeah, it's a good one.
	Ha ha ha ha.
	Wee wee wee wee.
	Music.
	Music.
	I'd love to tell the story about meeting President Biden because when you meet him, this guy's as sharp as a knife.
	They have nothing else to attack because they can't attack the things that he's doing that are so good for this country.
	Joe Biden gets things done.
	That's just who he is.
	So Jeff, that's a new campaign ad, right?
	Yes.
	And the message is, Joe Biden is as sharp as a knife, right?
	It's not really that.
	It's, he's sharp as a knife in private.
	That's the new talking point.
	So they're basically admitting now that he's an idiot in public.
	But, but, tell me if I'm just reading too much into this.
	If your campaign has to stress how he's not senile, if that's the point of your campaign, isn't that exactly the same as Chris Christie having an ad saying, you know what, in private he's really thin?
	Right?
	Exactly.
	Don't believe what you see every day.
	Don't believe the fact that he's 400 pounds, but when he goes behind the closed doors, he's anorexic and he's really skinny.
	I mean, don't they understand when you have somebody saying, you know, he's really not that senile, there's a problem there.
	You know what?
	When your campaign ads are in defense, you're losing.
	Ooh, that's good.
	That's good.
	We should hire that guy.
	When your campaign is in defense, that means that you're losing.
	Love it, love it.
	That's why he's Mr. G. And that's also why we got him on the PhD Weight Loss Program, because we want him here for a very long time, and we want him healthy.
	This is a program with no scary injections, no pills to pop, no stupid calorie counting, five meals a day that just help you burn the fat off.
	Jeff, how are you doing with your PhD program?
	It's going well.
	Will you stop going to the gym because you're putting on more muscle than you're losing fat?
	You saw the pictures from the beach?
	I saw you show your guns off to me.
	Yes, I did.
	But no, that's the one thing about this diet.
	It's the only diet I've ever been on where you can work out and you feel completely fine.
	Because you're eating protein.
	You can build muscle.
	Yeah, and you're not lightheaded like that.
	Like some of these diets where you just can't work out at all.
	That's the best part of this.
	But you're gonna turn into like this monster and you won't even be on roids.
	I mean, you'll be natural.
	It's scary.
	Don't scare us, Jeff.
	Okay?
	Please.
	You're scary enough as it is.

	Alright, let's go to line two.
	Randy Knoxville.
	Hey, Dr. Gorka.
	All right, let's go to line two.
	Randy Knoxville.
	Hey, Dr. Gorka.
	Hey.
	Hey, I wanted to, like that guy who called you a few callers back, I listen to Salem
	Radio all day long.
	You are a wise man, Randy.
	A very wise man.
	Thanks.
	You're my favorite show.
	I listen to Hugh Hewitt to get my blood pumping because he aggravates me so much, but he gets me going.
	And you love Dennis, right?
	Tell me you love my rabbi, Dennis.
	Absolutely.
	He's my rabbi, and that's coming from a Southern Baptist guy.
	Hugh Hewitt and his rhino guest that he has was talking about the importance of renewing the FISA, the wantless spy on Americans thing that we need to do.
	And he said if we don't, we're in big, big trouble.
	I wanted to go to the guy I know knows what the real scoop is.
	Should we renew this so the government can spy on us without any kind of warrants?
	No, absolutely not.
	The FISA has been used along with the two hop rule to spy on Americans.
	Who have committed no crime against whom there is no suspicion of a crime.
	And if I were pissed against Mike Johnson, this would be the biggest reason of all.
	I don't care what they told him behind closed doors.
	If you've used this for the last nine years against conservatives, For political purposes, it has to be thrown out.
	We can't trust the FBI, Randy.
	We can't trust the DOJ.
	And in principle, a secret court where the identities of the judges are classified, and the person they target isn't even represented, and they don't know about it, I don't know.
	For me, Randy, that's un-American.
	How about you?
	Oh, it sounds very Stalin-esque.
	Especially, Dr. Gorka, when we're looking at these nutcase judges out there.
	Yes.
	I mean, who are they coming to to get these warrants?
	Yeah, they don't have to, right?
	Right.
	I mean, it's all very scary.
	It makes me want to put a tin foil layer inside of my fall cap.
	Don't go there, my friend.
	Don't go there, my friend.
	Thank you for calling in.
	Let's go to our buddy in Philly, Phil.
	Line three.
	Hey, Dr. G, thanks for taking the call.
	Biden was here yesterday, just off the... Have you recovered yet?
	Well, three guys were outside of Wawa.
	That was it.
	He was walking around... Did you see the video?
	Did you catch it?
	That the staffers went into the Wawa beforehand, and faked it all up, and they said, President Biden's gonna come in, and he's gonna tip, and you need to react like this.
	The whole thing was a put-up job, Phil!
	It's terrible, terrible.
	But the reason I'm calling was, if we could get one of our fantastic Republican MAGA congresspersons to put up the unlimited funding for Ukraine bill.
	Follow me now.
	If we drill domestically at $10 per barrel, And anything the difference between 10 to market price, which is already in our budget.
	We stopped buying from the mud oil from Russia, Iran, and Venezuela.
	Ukraine and our allies could have the rest, the top money from 10 up.
	We could replenish our National Reserve, which Biden has almost done, has on empty.
	We are sitting ducks.
	But we need, we need, and then when we throw this at the Dems, We can always be like, hey, well, we gave them a funding bill for Ukraine, you know, by drilling domestically, they're turning it down.
	I don't think they're going to be able to turn it down.
	What do you think?
	Oh, they will.
	You know they will.
	They will do whatever they need to do to sabotage America and to keep sending money to their clients in the most corrupt nations in the world.
	Thank you, my friend.
	Jeff, what was that thing you showed me yesterday?
	MTG had a motion that if you're a member of Congress and you vote funding for the Ukraine, you have to join the Ukrainian army.
	What was that?
	Yeah, you'd be required to join their military.
	Doesn't that indicate how serious a woman she is?
	Exactly.
	I mean, that's so ridiculous.
	What is her motivation now?
	Do you get it?
	What is she about now?
	Is she just like, I want to stay in the news?
	I think it's revenge.
	She's still mad about the McCarthy thing.
	So it wasn't her person, so now she's just going to throw a fit because it's not her guy.
	Yeah, she wants to take revenge because the man who put her on all those juicy committees has gone now.
	The man who, by the way, we need to put those in the Evergreen file.
	What did he say?
	He called Matt Gaetz a man having underage sex, and then he said the Democrat Party looks like America, not my old party.
	Oh, by the way, who's going to be at the top of the next hour, Eric?
	Who did we get on?
	That would be the superstar himself, Congressman Matt Gaetz.
	Matt Gaetz?
	Oh, that's gonna be fun.

	Rick in Phoenix.
	Hi, Dr. Gorka.
	Hey.
	I appreciate you sharing all the fun you guys are having when I'm on hold.
	I have a quick movie question.
	When you and your daughter were watching the movie Inception, did you determine if DiCaprio was awake or still dreaming at the end?
	Awake.
	I have a movie suggestion for our day.
	Good question and Inception will be a movie we have to review. It's one of his best.
	Any other suggestions for what we should add to making movies great again?
	I have a movie suggestion for our day. It's a mad, mad, mad, mad world.
	Oh, that weird comedy that starts off in Africa?
	Comedy.
	It's got tons of comedians in there and it's just, it's fun.
	I'm going to have to ask you to give me another recommendation.
	That movie never, I never got the point of that movie.
	Give me another one, Rick, while we're at it.
	How about The Fifth Element?
	Dude, you have such a weird eclectic taste.
	Alright, that's the kind of movie that Chris may recommend.
	I will run it past our host.
	I am impressed, Rick.
	I'm impressed with your taste.
	Thank you, my friend.
	Have a great Friday.
	Let's go to our buddy Brent in Los Angeles.
	Hello, great MAGA wingman Gorka!
	Hello, my friend.
	What would you like to wax lyrical about today?
	Well, as a Jew, days prior to Passover, I am ashamed and horrified by my blind, ignorant,
	and suicidally sleepwalking Democrat Jews, who shamefully are not identifying Bloodbath
	Biden as an overt and obvious heir to Adolf Hitler, the evil Haman in the Book of Esther,
	the murderous Amalek, cursed by God in Exodus, Numbers, and Deuteronomy, and the spirit of
	Pharaoh himself.
	All these disciples of the devil shared in common the passion, the obsession, and the
	hysterical dream of Jewish annihilation, along with the elimination of God, truth, humanity,
	and holiness from upon the earth.
	In Genesis, God vowed, those who bless Israel will be blessed, and those who curse Israel will be cursed.
	All godly Americans must once again, proudly and confidently, choose God's blessings, truth, and love.
	I love that.
	I think from now on, I agree with you, Brent, we have to just call him Bloodbath Biden.
	We have to do that reverse jiu-jitsu that they tried to use that as a slur on President Trump after his speech on the state of the auto industry in America.
	Well done, my friend.
	Bloodbath Biden it is!
	Open borders, havoc across the world, the Middle East, Ukraine and elsewhere.
	Blood, Bath, Biden is the moniker.
	Next up, the one and only Matt Gaetz!
	wherever you are whatever you're doing stay on this channel you
	you you
	Animersive you
	This is Second Amendment Friday on America First with Dr. G. And the gaffes keep on coming as if the mumble mumble about exports of blah blah blah wasn't enough.
	Slow Joe has given us the choice we have to make.
	November the 5th in 11 seconds.
	Cut 7.
	I see a future of the planet.
	We saved the planet as this guy busted his neck doing.
	Climate change.
	Literally.
	Climate crisis in America.
	Yeah, that's the problem.
	The climate crisis.
	And then the stark choice?
	Really, even clearer than that.
	Cut six.
	Are you ready to choose freedom over democracy?
	Because that's America.
	Freedom over democracy, and they cheer!
	That's the lemmings of the left.
	Let's talk to a man who knows the actual stakes involved.
	He's changed his bio on Twitter.
	I refuse to call it X. It just says, Florida man built for the battle.
	I tend to concur.
	The one and only Matt Gaetz.
	Happy Friday to you, Congressman Gaetz.
	It's good to be with you, Seb.
	Though I can't say it's a happy Friday on Capitol Hill.
	Where we have proceeded on to a $98 billion foreign aid bill in the absence of what I think we needed to do on our own southern border.
	I think it's very damaging to be worried about borders oceans away when we've shown just a willing destruction of what keeps our nation safe and sound and free.
	And so I'm disappointed in that.
	And now we're going to do what we can to try to get whatever amendments, you know, Into this process, but it seems pretty precooked.
	All right, we have so much to discuss in the next eight minutes.
	I want to talk about some scandal that you've uncovered with regards to the State Department.
	I want to talk about what I heard at the Heritage Foundation that really has me very worried about the future of the country and the GOP.
	But first, we had our colleague from Breitbart on who basically said last night Speaker Johnson handed over the reins of the House to the Democrats and they co-control it now because of some rule change.
	Can you give us some clarity from inside the sausage machine, Congressman?
	That's why I think that the rules of the House remain the same.
	Mike Johnson had contemplated changing the motion to vacate threshold beyond one member to something else, and there was very substantial resistance to that, and so he ultimately abandoned that proposal that was made by others.
	But I think that's an important accountability tool.
	I've often said I would be willing to raise the threshold for the motion to vacate if we would ban congressional stock trading.
	But no one's real interested in giving up their stock trading.
	And so I will keep the accountability tool in place.
	We seem to be in a kind of narrative battle on our side with those who say he's trying to do his best, he's not exactly a forthright warrior, but we shouldn't rock the boat six months out before the election.
	And others, like your colleague Marjorie Taylor Greene, who is saying we've got to get rid of him now.
	Where do you stand on the issue of the Speaker's future?
	I'll be honest with you, Seb.
	I am not here to defend Mike Johnson's choices.
	I think they have been the wrong choices, particularly this week.
	However, the motion to vacate that I filed was filed when we had a four-seat majority, and I assessed that there would be a prisoner's dilemma where no five could trust each other enough to bolt and elect a Democrat Speaker.
	My sincere worry, and I take no pride in sharing this with you, Is that one or two or three of my Republican colleagues would be susceptible to a bribe.
	To retire early, to leave, to claim some sort of phony health condition, to take a major payout as a consequence of that, and then hand the house over to Democrats.
	If that were to happen, the leadoff hitter for Democrats would be to declare Trump an insurrectionist and to refuse to acknowledge his likely upcoming legitimate win for the presidency.
	That's how high the stakes are.
	It's why at this time I don't support a motion to vacate.
	But that's very different than endorsing the recent choices of Mike Johnson, which I think
	are indefensible.
	We're talking about another Mike Gallagher scenario, somebody who subverts his own side
	and the president.
	You've introduced a topic that we need to talk about, this insurrection accusation.
	Why is this a key issue in the next six months and what have you done about it with your recommendation?
	I believe that under Republican control the House of Representatives should pass a resolution deeming January 6th not an insurrection.
	This would have a value as many of the January 6th defendants are seeking clemency or commutations of their sentences, and it would block the efforts to try to remove Donald Trump from the ballot.
	And I think that those are still ongoing.
	It would also be kryptonite to the claim that Jack Smith is trying to make that President Trump was somehow criminally responsible for what happened on the Capitol on January 6th.
	And so we ought to do that.
	We have, gosh, I think about about 100 co-sponsors And I'm encouraging the Judiciary Committee to hold a hearing on that soon.
	The alternative, though, if Democrats were to gain control of the House, would be a very grisly and very negative thing for democracy if they tried to use some definitional gains to try to block the people's vote.
	Has Mike Johnson said anything about your incredible suggestion about declaring it a non-insurrection?
	We've discussed it, actually, and he's supportive.
	I need to get time on the House Judiciary Committee calendar in order to make that happen.
	Good, good.
	Alright, a story that nobody's covering, or maybe, you know, one outlet.
	The cover-up you have unearthed at the State Department concerning our special forces that are stranded in Niger.
	Will you give us the elevator pitch on what the hell is going on with the State Department and our troops?
	Thanks for giving me the chance.
	We have 1,100 troops right now stationed in the African country of Niger, and those troops are not getting their rotations, they're not getting medicine, they're not getting supplies, food or mail, because the government of Niger has deemed our presence there illegal, and they are not allowing the diplomatic overflights.
	Under normal circumstances, these intelligence reports would make their way to decision-makers.
	We would either rapidly renegotiate our Status of Forces Agreement, or we would begin to retrograde so that there isn't the type of hasty withdrawal that you saw from Afghanistan that resulted in a lot of our American-made materiel falling into the hands of some very bad folks.
	Instead of doing that, they are blocking the intelligence at U.S. Embassy Niger.
	They are rewording the reports to make things seem rosier than they are, and they are doing
	so to avoid embarrassment, Seb, because the Biden administration has poured billions of
	dollars into Niger.
	We have this massive base there that now the country doesn't want, and they would rather
	put our troops in harm's way.
	They would rather deprive our service members of their medicine, of their health and safety,
	than admit that they made a bad bet that we should not have been putting all this money
	and materiel and personnel into a country that was as unstable as Niger.
	The State Department.
	Faking intelligence, distorting intelligence to hide the scandal of what is happening to our forces.
	We need to discuss that at greater length next week, Congressman.
	In the last two minutes we have with you, I was at an amazing event last week at the
	Heritage Foundation on the weaponization of the intelligence community against brave Americans,
	conservatives, FBI whistleblowers.
	And afterwards in the private discussions, I was horrified by what I heard was happening
	on Capitol Hill.
	I feel a little bit better about Chairman Comer, who may not be able to communicate
	effectively, but I think he's a good guy.
	But what I heard about, and I don't want to get you in trouble, so you can just not answer
	the question if you wish, but what I heard about staff working for the GOP, especially
	on the Judiciary Committee, working for Jim Jordan, staffers sabotaging whistleblowers,
	working against the interests of uncovering what Hunter Biden really did.
	Are staffers in control of the GOP on Capitol Hill, Congressman?
	Well, staff have an important role to play.
	I don't know that I would agree with those assessments quite as you put them.
	I think that we always need to be more aggressive at pursuing subpoenas.
	I think that really it was Kevin McCarthy's staff that blocked a subpoena of Hunter Biden for eight months and didn't allow us to proceed with that work.
	And I think that really put the investigation on its heels.
	When we do the autopsy of this thing, Yeah.
	getting Hunter Biden under oath early and often. By the way, like the Democrats
	did to Don Jr. I think will be viewed as something that really
	blocked us. Well one thing that was raised with me that perhaps you can raise as well behind closed doors is where
	are the recordings And if recordings weren't made of Hunter Biden's testimony, why weren't they made?
	I think the American people, especially in your district, would like to know that because they believe in America First and they are firebrands like yourself.

	Just plug in my name so get Sebastian Gawker, America First.
	It costs you nothing.
	Leave us a five-star review and do share the links with your friends.
	This would normally be when our friend who's supported us, I think, from the beginning for five years, Dr. Kernel, Jim Carrafano, would be in studio to talk national security and foreign policy.
	He's gallivanting around the globe somewhere.
	I don't know.
	It's, what is it, Friday?
	Must be Portugal or Hungary.
	Who knows what.
	I just hope He's getting those frequent flyer miles.
	Instead, we are delighted to have in studio somebody he strongly recommended.
	He is Jonas Oman of Sweden, who is associated with something called the Blue Yellow Organization.
	He's the head of that organization, Blue-Yellow.lt, based out of Lithuania.
	And he's going to give us an update on what is happening in the Forgotten War in Ukraine.
	Jonas, welcome to America First.
	Thanks a lot.
	So tell us a little bit about, before we talk about what's going on in Ukraine and what your organization is doing, tell us a little bit about your background.
	Well, my CV is very long.
	I have done many things in my life.
	I speak seven, eight languages.
	I'm actually Swedish, but I've been living in Eastern Europe, in Russia.
	I've been living in the U.S.
	for a while.
	I'm a former filmmaker, translator, so, you know, a lot.
	I also have a very long back.
	I have kind of background in kind of Swedish intelligence.
	I mean, when I see a Russian soldier, I know it's a Russian soldier.
	So when I saw in 2014, I saw what happened in Crimea, you remember the green little men and all that?
	The little green men.
	I looked at their weapons and I said, oh hey, this is like GRU and FSB, etc.
	So I understood the war is coming, war is coming my way.
	I'm not gonna let them pass.
	So what is the situation right now?
	Has it been ground to a kind of stalemate?
	What is the situation report for the war in Ukraine today, based upon your latest visit?
	I'm talking to people over there every day, even today I'm in the US now, but we get updates
	on the moment.
	We are working with the units, with the brigades and the regiments, etc. etc.
	All the time, so we get it like very close to the front line updates.
	Russians are trying to push hard, I mean they are throwing all they got at the Ukrainians
	at this point.
	You know, armored vehicles, infantry, what not.
	They take huge casualties.
	Two thousand tanks.
	Yes.
	And I'll probably say a day, Ukrainians maybe take care of maybe 30 or 40 of those, but they keep coming.
	They don't really... It's kind of an all-in, I guess.
	And Ukrainians are defending themselves bravely and, of course, with the help of us and others.
	But again, I mean, over time, it's exhausting.
	I'll put it that way.
	So you are helping the fighting forces with your organization, Blue Yellow.
	Yes.
	What are you doing?
	Give us some examples.
	I have something on the table here.
	What is this?
	This is an anti-drone.
	It's a Lithuanian product.
	They put it on the vest, like on the body armor of the soldier.
	It creates like an electronic bubble around the soldier or the assault unit or whatever.
	So the Russian FPV drones, the kamikaze drones, can actually reach the soldiers.
	Why?
	Because usually, I know the Russians use incredibly high power microwaves to fry drones out of the air.
	This doesn't fry it.
	This confuses it.
	No, it actually creates a bubble so it cuts the connection with the operators and the drone flies into this.
	Also it loses connection with the operators.
	The connection has dropped like a stone.
	Yep.
	That's genius, but is it power-intensive?
	Does it need a lot of power?
	No, no, no.
	It's 20 kilowatts.
	It's really low power-intensive.
	I mean, this is a genius invention.
	And where did that come out of?
	Lithuania?
	It's Lithuanian, yeah.
	All over, 100%.
	And everything is Lithuanian, so I'm really happy to provide So people donate to your organization?
	Yes, correct.
	And then you buy this non-kinetic equipment to help the Ukrainians?
	Correct.
	Non-lethal, we call it.
	Yes, exactly.
	It could be drones, it could be... I mean, I have another thing also here on my... This is just a very simple thing.
	It's a comm radio, it's a Motorola.
	A Motorola, right.
	Yeah I mean over in battle you lose these guys you know that you know that they start stop working and so we provide hundreds of these.
	So just really basic stuff but they still need it?
	They still need it a lot because this war of attrition, it really goes hard on your
	equipment and everything.
	And we know, we have the whole information about what they need, what we can provide,
	all kinds of stuff.
	Cars, medicine, drones, electronic equipment, optics, night vision, thermal vision, I mean
	we know it.
	So if you need...
	Now the people who are helping the most are often, I think there's a reason you're in
	Lithuania are the countries who understand the threat of Russia.
	Of course.
	Poland, the Baltic States.
	Who else is being good in supporting?
	I probably say at this point I'm seeing as a Swede, I'm really proud to say that Scandinavia is picking up a lot.
	I mean, when you go to Sweden, they are planning to start to manufacture weapons in Ukraine.
	Unheard of.
	Swedish weapons in Ukraine?
	Yes, correct.
	The Swedes make very good weapons.
	Yeah, they do.
	Bofors and all the historic weapons.
	Exactly, they're very good.
	I mean, so what's happening in a more general sense and why the U.S.
	is still hesitating about whether or not and how much blah blah blah.
	We're kind of like disappointed with the U.S.
	at this point.
	Europe is kind of slowly stepping up this game.
	Who in Europe is stepping up?
	I can actually give you another example.
	You will be surprised.
	France.
	France!
	Yes, at this point, a huge lot of the artillery that we provide the drones for artillery correction, etc.
	And lots of the artillery is actually French, like the Cesar, for instance.
	The actual Howitzers, not the shells.
	And some of the shells too.
	I mean we're taking out like we're using you know the units are using Excalibur shells kind of you know GPS etc etc and they have drones from us so like I give one example a couple days ago 25th Brigade stopped the 19th Tank Division of Russia with the French guns and Lithuanian drones.
	Listen to that!
	They stopped the Russian tank regiment with Lithuanian drones and French artillery.
	Well, I'm surprised at the French.
	We're going to continue the discussion.
	In the meantime, hold the line.
	Hold on, hold on.
	Check out our guest's website.
	It is blue-yellow, as in the colors of the Ukrainian flag, .lt for Lithuania.
	We're talking to Jonas Oman.
	He is the head of Blue Yellow.
	I'm Sebastian Gorka.

	You can even watch us.
	We are a TV show as well on Roku, your Fire Stick, your Samsung Plus device, or the best of all is just download for free the Salem News Channel app.

	That's my whole name is one word Sebastian Gawker dot substack dot com
	like a hundred meters something like that in radius so you can you can no no
	We have several units from Solaris that are using them.
	They had like ten or something.
	You don't have problems?
	We get licenses from the government.
	They're like us.
	They trust us.
	This is a mock-up.
	It's just an ordinary radio.
	Nothing special.
	Is this the kind of thing they need?
	Yeah, of course, of course.
	You know, you think you're high Mars, you like higher stuff.
	I mean, this war is like... See, my argument has always been from the beginning, they don't need high-tech Western stuff.
	They need some, I'm not saying... Yeah, but giving them six Abrams tanks is stupid.
	Yeah, well, I mean, either you go for 300 or...
	No, I'll give them all the Soviet stuff that's sitting in Hungary, sitting in Poland, right?
	You've got warehouses full of it.
	They need mass, yes, that's true.
	They need volume.
	So, yes, I mean, good coal, I mean, for stuff like that, yes, but more generally, it's a lot about mass, but it's also about being able to provide timely, accurately to who needs it right now.
	I mean, where you would get commercial drones?
	Just standard stuff, you know, it's nothing like super fancy, a couple of thousand, whatever,
	and used correctly.
	Of course, they do something with the electronics and they use them.
	I mean, I've seen some amazing samples of how professional Ukrainian soldiers are using
	like really cheap commercial stuff to actually...
	Yeah.
	I saw a video of them taking a motor out of an RPG and putting it on a UAV and they were
	making some offensive UAV.
	Yeah, yeah, yeah, exactly.
	Stuff like that, yes.
	So...
	Where's Jeff?
	He stepped out.
	Can people donate on your website?
	Of course.
	Yeah, yeah, yeah.
	All kinds of it.
	The only thing, you know, PayPal has blocked us for some reason.
	Of course.
	Yeah, of course.
	Yeah, exactly.
	But we have like, you know, a bank account and this and that, like ten different kinds of...
	And in Europe, we are the biggest organization in Western Europe, except Ukraine.
	So we have so far gathered 85 million dollars approximately.
	Which of course, I mean, at our level it's a lot.
	I'm really annoyed because we managed to get some great guests from the Ukraine, members of parliament, deputy of the ministry for strategic industry, but nobody from the embassy, nobody here.
	They are not allowed.
	They're not allowed.
	Ukraine?
	Yes, they are.
	The ambassador can go if they wanted to.
	The ambassador could, yes, that's true.
	And then I wanted to get the mayor of Kiev.
	Oh, Klitschko?
	Yeah.
	And he didn't come, that's strange.
	No, we tried.
	He said no?
	No, we never got a response.
	If you have good guests, you can recommend them to my producer from Ukraine.
	I'd appreciate that.
	I do, of course.
	They speak good English.
	Yeah, of course.
	I mean, Makarov would definitely be able to do it.
	But they're very limited in what they can say.
	But Klitschko, he'd be great.
	Klitschko's more like a daddy guy.
	So I'm surprised, actually.
	I mean, he could probably take the... Come in with cut 10, then I'll do cut 15.
	Alright, then cut.

	We're back with Jonas Oman of the organization Blue Yellow, based out of Lithuania, supporting Ukraine in its fight for freedom.
	A very relevant, relevant guest to have today, because of course today is the 449th anniversary of Who's the best amateur historian in our studio?
	Eric?
	Alex?
	What's the anniversary today? 1775.
	Lexington and Concord!
	The shot heard around the world, gentlemen.
	The spark that set the flame to the revolutionary war that gave us America.
	What is happening in Ukraine is a war for their independence from a foreign invader.
	If France, if Spain, if Holland hadn't helped Us?
	In 1775 there would be no America.
	That's why it's right for us to help the Ukrainians against their aggressor.
	Yonas, you're helping the Ukrainian military.
	Will you give us a sense of what is the morale like?
	I know there's been issues of rotation.
	Getting enough people to, you know, be brought back from the front lines, have rest and recuperation.
	How are the Ukrainian people and the soldiers doing right now?
	Exhausted, tired, but willing to fight, willing to go on.
	And it's also about, I mean, they've been doing it for 10 years, they're getting good at it.
	On the other hand, they have no alternative.
	They have no other They can lose their liberty or fight?
	They can lose a lot.
	I mean, they saw, of course, seen that the Russians are capable at this point.
	And I mean, if you talk to any Ukrainian, basically, I mean, they have some kind of personal experience of Russian atrocities.
	I mean, you must forget, for instance, that the Russians keep launching missiles and drones on all cities in Ukraine, etc, etc.
	There was an air war at this point.
	And, I mean, they will keep fighting.
	It's a strong nation.
	I mean, Slava Ukraina.
	Unfortunately, again, I mean, on the other hand, of course, the country, the state, it could be better.
	I mean, we must admit that.
	There are issues, but they are dealing with it.
	We have to give two things.
	I mean, that's what I always tell everybody.
	We have to give two things to Ukraine at this point.
	It's weapons and it's democracy.
	These two things, we have to do both.
	This is a conservative show, conservative listeners, about three and a half million across the country.
	A to Ukraine is very contentious because we have an open border.
	Conservatives want to secure our border before we give money to somebody else.
	Also there's the question of just giving money to Kiev and not knowing what it's being spent on.
	From the beginning I said, give them Soviet equipment they know how to use, Give them intelligence packages to target the Russians, satellite information and so forth.
	What else, beyond money, if we're not giving them lots of money, what concrete, in addition to basic communications equipment, what is the best thing America could do for the Ukrainian freedom fighters?
	Training.
	Training.
	And in Ukraine.
	So, small unit tactics?
	Actually, all of it.
	Small unit tactics about battalion level, brigade level, etc.
	I'm involved in discussion with Ukrainians, also with other people and actors in Europe to actually bring our instructors to Ukraine, to Western Ukraine.
	Not to fight, I'm not saying it.
	To train Ukrainians in the peaceful part of Ukraine.
	Yes, exactly.
	We're talking, I mean, the training in all kinds of senses because, again, you know, you have mobilized hundreds of thousands of people on a short period of time and obviously need lots and skills and understanding.
	The Ukrainians are great at fighting wars.
	I mean, they're great warriors.
	I mean, I have such respect.
	Well, clearly.
	I mean, they fought Russia to a standstill.
	Yes, but again, you need structure, you need system, you need thinking.
	And is that better than doing it in the Baltic States?
	You have to do it in Ukraine because it's faster.
	If you do that abroad, you're losing a lot of time, it's getting far.
	I was involved in the counter assault last year and I saw the training in Germany and Poland and elsewhere.
	The training itself was great, but it was too far away.
	They lost the edge when they put it back into Ukraine.
	There were lots of issues with that.
	All right.
	Less cash, more training and equipment they can use.

	Today we welcome back an old friend, one of my favorite, I hate the phrase, content producers on the Second Amendment on YouTube, from the Military Arms Channel, Mac or Tim Harmson.
	Tim, welcome back to America First.
	It's good to be here.
	How are you doing?
	Good.
	What is a better phrase than content producer?
	That's so blah.
	That's so millennial.
	You know, we struggle with that ourselves within the community.
	Are we content creators?
	Are we entertainers?
	What are we?
	I don't know.
	You can call me anything you want, just don't call me late to dinner.
	Alright, gun guys.
	We'll just say gun guys.
	One of my favorite gun guys.
	You texted me earlier today saying, what should we talk about?
	Like, I don't really care, because all the stuff you like, I like, whether it's .308 battle rifles, the only pistol caliber that matters, the 10mm, or British-pattern DPM military smocks.
	So, it's like talking to a long-lost brother.
	But I was going through your old videos.
	No, not your old videos, your recent videos.
	I was making a couple of notes.
	So, let's get a little bit controversial.
	Polymer handguns.
	Who needs them, really?
	Yeah, you know, look, Gen X, and I went through the whole transformation period when the Glock came on the scene.
	Granted, it wasn't the first polymer frame striker fired pistol, but it's the one that got the most attention, right?
	And I lived through all that.
	They were, you know, plastic Fantastics and junk, and then, because we all had metal firearms and wood grips back in the day, and then Today, I've gone through the polymer craze, but I'm right back to carrying steel and aluminum.
	And it's so funny that you have these super expensive race guns.
	Everybody out comes the polymer one and say, OK, when's the steel version coming out?
	It's like we've gone back in time and Glock never happened.
	OK, oh, you want the steel one?
	We just gave you the polymer one.
	So it's hilarious anyway.
	And the fact, I like Glocks.
	But every single Glock I own has been customized, shaved, the grip changed.
	Because it's like picking up a brick When he'd take it out of the box.
	Oh, okay.
	So, another topic we agree upon.
	Second one, which I think we will not have much daylight between us, and you've done several videos on this.
	Is there any point, was there any point in the 5.56 battle rifle?
	It's a contradiction in terms.
	It's a flipping varmint rifle.
	Am I wrong, Tim?
	No, it absolutely is.
	Matter of fact, it traces its lineage back to the .222 Remington, which was literally a varmint cartridge.
	They modified it a little bit, but the whole goal with that was to reduce the combat load weight for the soldier, to increase the rate of fire, quick follow-up shots, you know, controllable full-auto, as opposed to 7.62x51.
	But you're starting to see a trend.
	I actually ran a poll on my Twitter page, and it's turning out that 5.56 is giving up ground every year to .308.
	I've switched back to .308.
	Yeah, look, when you talk to operators from the sandbox and they say, we shot the guy twice or three times with 5.56 and he was hopped up on something or whatever, that doesn't happen.
	You hit somebody with a .308 and a 7.62 in the main cavity of the thorax, it is hasta la vista, baby.
	It was back in, you know, 70 years ago.
	It's the same today.
	What about the intermediates?
	I'm kind of in love with the .300 Blackout.
	I'm not sure it's a toy.
	Where are you at with the 300, Tim?
	So I think the 300 Blackout is probably one of the most misunderstood cartridges out there.
	I love it.
	And that's because it gives you the ballistics of a .45 ACP, but extends that range out well past 100 yards, even with subsonic loads, because you get the long spitzer-type bullet, right, versus a big, heavy, round ball.
	You get a bullet that's designed to maintain velocity for distance, and it works pretty well.
	Then you can throw supers into it.
	And we just recently did a video talking about the ballistics between 300 Blackout Supers and 7.62x39, and lo and behold, they're pretty evenly matched.
	Fascinating, and it doesn't have to be a honey badger.
	I love my honey badger with my suppressor, but now the Jackal from PSA, all kinds of cool 300s coming out there.
	I actually got a 300 SBR length B&T, a Brugger & Tomit, and man, Tim, I'm sure you're familiar with it.
	That is a Rolex of weapons.
	It is.
	Carl, who owns B&T, is a personal friend of mine.
	I've been over to Switzerland to tour their factory, and the The quality and the engineering that they do is just stunning.
	I mean, when HK runs into an engineering problem, they turn to B&T to fix it.
	I'm not joking.
	No, I know.
	Ask Carl.
	You got an engineering problem?
	Ask Carl.
	Okay, last question, because you and I both understand there's only one handgun caliber.
	It is the 10mm.
	And I need to get my hands on one of these.
	I'm super excited.
	Let's put the photograph up.
	This is the Strybog 10mm PC.
	So the, you know, pistol caliber carbine or, you know, Stabilized pistol.
	I've heard a lot of good things about this.
	I've got a 10mm HK at home.
	You know, the MP10 or whatever the nomenclature is.
	Is this a good weapon?
	Is this a Strybok?
	Do I need to get me one of those, Tim?
	You know what?
	It has a nice marriage between cost and functionality and quality.
	So I've ran into some problems with the earlier 9mm, but they've changed the design considerably.
	Now it's a roller-delayed design.
	I've had pretty good luck with them.
	I do have the 10mm, and like you, I absolutely love 10mm, and it really does work well.
	It's accurate.
	It's reliable.
	Holds 20 rounds in the magazines.
	People gripe about that, but you have 20 rounds of, in essence, .357 Magnum.
	Yes.
	So there's the trade-off.
	It's a great firearm.
	I've really enjoyed it.
	All right.
	You convinced me.
	I didn't need convincing, but if Tim says it, then, you know, then I have another reason to get it.
	In the meantime, 30 seconds left.
	The NRA was destroyed by Wayne Lapierre.
	I think, you know, Don Jr.
	has to take it over and maybe he can fix it.
	In the meantime, tell us a couple of firearms organizations that you're affiliated with or that you approve of, Tim.
	So I actually work with GOA.
	I'm the Indiana State Director, so I've been working with them for several years, and you know, I moved over to them when I was hoping the NRA would correct course.
	They weren't able to.
	I moved over to them, but there's some other great organizations out there.
	There's FPC, SAF, National Association of Gun Rights, I always screw up the name, so there's a lot of very good active organizations out there and I highly recommend you take a look at all of them and support a few if you can because they're fighting every day in the trenches for our rights.
	Firearms Policy Coalition, Gun Owners of America, they're picking up the slack and they're doing a great job.
	In the meantime, make sure you follow this man, Mac underscore Arms on Twitter, but most importantly on YouTube, the Military Arms Channel.
	Super good videos from a gun guy and he's actually looks like it's the Kurgan sword that's behind him.

	you Hey Jeff, did you enjoy that last segment?
	I didn't understand a lot of the terms, I would say.
	Well, you should come with us this weekend.
	It's the Gun Show.
	Eric, should we go back to the Gun Show?
	I didn't even realize that was this weekend.
	I actually would be down for that.
	It's the Nation's Gun Show.
	As a proud gun owner, we should go.
	Alex, may you join us?
	What do you think?
	I would love to go.
	All right.
	I don't have any money to buy anything, but, uh... What?
	Is that... Is he asking for a raised life on air, Jeff?
	Look at that sneaky guy.
	I bet he had money four years ago to buy a gun.
	Yes, that's why we have to get Trump back in office so we can buy more guns.
	All right, guys.
	Oh, Guy, have you ever been to the gun show with me and Eric?
	No, no, yes, sir.
	The only part is I'm not really licensed at this moment.
	You don't need to have a license.
	This is Virginia.
	It's the Commonwealth.
	It's called freedom.
	You're not in communist China, okay?
	It's all right.
	Live like an American, okay?
	The Second Amendment, it applies.
	My friends back in England, they didn't believe it.
	When I came here as a green card holder in the 90s, I applied for a concealed carry permit in Virginia.
	And I got one, because I didn't have a criminal record.
	And they said, what?
	You're carrying a gun?
	Concealed in America?
	Yeah.
	And I'm not even a citizen.
	It's beautiful.
	It's America.
	It's the American way.
	All right, guys.
	Can we squeeze anything else in from our important list of, oh my gosh, how many cuts did we get from, we got 17 cuts today.
	Yes.
	Oh, did we do 14 yet, Eric?
	Not that magnificent.
	Okay.
	How desperate are they?
	You tell me, guys.
	Is Joe Scarborough acting, or does he really mean this about the state of the nation under Joe Biden?
	Cut 14!
	This is a world!
	They give their viewers anything to try to make America look bad!
	They are obsessed!
	We're trashing America when America is stronger, more powerful than ever before.
	It's economy stronger and more powerful than ever before.
	So what do they do?
	They find a trans athlete in Utah.
	Our world's coming to an end!
	Help us, Jesus!
	The country ain't the country I was raised in!
	No, it's better!
	It's stronger!
	We're more powerful!
	Our military's more powerful!
	Relative to the rest of the world, our economy is stronger!
	Relative to the rest of the world!
	Jeff, did you see the faces of the guests in the studio?
	Even they were going, what is this lunatic doing?
	Morning Joe guest even thought he was a lunatic.
	Did you know the country's better than it's ever been, Jeff?
	Oh, yeah, absolutely.
	The economy, everything.
	We're stronger than we ever were.
	Just look at the world.
	Look at all the peace going on.
	You can tell we're stronger than ever before.
	Look at all the peace breaking.
	And then, of course, what does he have to do?
	He has to make fun of Christians.
	He has to say, save me, Jesus.
	He has to make fun and insult Christians.
	He's playing to the bass there.
	It's the MSNBC.
	It's all an act.

	I never heard of this movie.
	Allegedly it's a classic.

	Let's go see him again.
	You finished with this?
	Yes, and I know as much about the murder as they do.
	Oh, I'm a hero.
	I was shot twice in the Tribune.
	I remember you were shot five times in the tabloids.
	It's not true.
	He didn't come anywhere near my tabloids.
	Ah, bullseye.
	That is the hero of The Thin Man, played by William Powell.
	Nick Charles with his wife Nora, the detective duo, with I think perhaps the best line in the movie.
	I don't know if my colleague and co-host will agree.
	They never shot me in the tabloids!
	We're making movies great again.
	A little bit of an older Classic, 1934's The Thin Man.
	Chris Coles, this was your choice and first time I've ever seen it.
	I've known for years, since we've been buddies, that you love this series of movies.
	I think it's six movies in all.
	So tell us a little bit about this movie and when you first discovered it.
	I actually discovered my buddy Kurt mentioned it.
	I love old movies.
	I love Casablanca.
	I've talked to Kurt about that a little bit.
	And at one point he started talking about The Thin Man.
	I'd never heard of this movie until I was like in my 30s.
	He mentioned it and he was like, I think you'll love this movie.
	You know, Kurt has A reputation for recommending movies that I hate.
	So I was really hesitant to watch this one.
	But he goes, I promise you, you'll like this one.
	I did, and it became my favorite movie of all time, so I owe him a huge shred of gratitude.
	But I have a question for you, because you've never seen this film.
	No.
	And I'm a little bit, I was a little bit concerned that maybe this wasn't really up your alley.
	It's not an action film.
	It's not like an epic film.
	It doesn't have the same layering of genius that some of these other films have, like Casablanca.
	But I love it for my own reasons, and I'll explain that in a moment, but I'm curious as to what you thought of it.
	Yeah, well, let's save your explication, because I really need to know, because halfway through it, my wife and I looked at each other and we said, Why does Chris like it so much?
	What is it about this movie?
	It's clearly no Casablanca.
	You will explain for us eventually why you so love it.
	But I don't know.
	There has to be something about it.
	I think the National Film Archive has it at the top 100.
	It was very successful in terms of Five sequels.
	It's had an influence.
	It's kind of been remade or homages made to it in the modern cinema age.
	And it's unusual.
	And again, it's such a common...
	I think there's two common themes for the films that we discuss here, is that they set
	their own type of film up.
	They're the first in a genre.
	They establish a genre, like Die Hard or what have you.
	And then in so many cases, the movies that we review are utterly sui generis.
	They are in a category of their own.
	And I think this is one of them, because this is based on a Daschle Hammett detective novel.
	I'm no expert on Daschle, but he's clearly a noir era, hard-bitten detective genre type
	of novelist.
	And there's nothing hard-bitten here.
	This couple, he's married into money.
	And he just lives the high life.
	And half the time, Nick, the protagonist, is drunk.
	Yes.
	Yeah.
	Yeah.
	And I don't drink.
	So it's a little bit weird that I would love this character so much.
	Here's why I love this film, and here's why I think that it's... This is the highest grossing film of the year that it was distributed.
	Yeah, almost one and a half million bucks.
	Yeah, it did really, really well.
	And I totally understand it, you know, because...
	At the time, look, okay, I watched my whole life growing up, I watched films about romantic moments, about guys picking up girls and all this kind of thing, like the way men and women interact is depicted in films over and over again throughout time from the beginning of cinema to today.
	This is a major, major theme of cinema.
	And when I was a kid, I would watch these guys picking up girls or impressing girls in film and I thought that to some degree that was the way it was done.
	You know, I'm like 10 years old, I don't know how to talk to girls.
	Then I started writing films of my own and I started dating and I realized that the writers of TV and movies don't know how to pick up women.
	Like they don't know how to have and a lot of the relationships that like the married relationships or the boyfriend girlfriend relationships are often very contentious.
	In movies and TV shows, husbands and wives often hate each other.
	Yeah, right.
	It's it's a weird thing.
	And in the modern age, in the modern day, almost every female character is super disrespectful to the male character.
	If she's married, The man is a doofus, he's an idiot, he gets everything wrong, and the girl's a genius, and super strong and super brave and gets everything right.
	Well, in this picture, they did something that I've really never seen before, like, in any other project, in any other cinema, or TV show.
	They created a husband-and-wife character with mutual respect, that loved each other clearly, And that also made fun of each other and made jokes at each other's expense for the benefit of the other person.
	So they're just joking around.
	And in my experience, the best relationships that I've been able to have in my life with women have been relationships in which I can joke around with them a little bit.
	And I think that this is kind of healthy.
	The way you joke around with your family, the way you joke around with your siblings, your parents, you know, maybe your nieces and nephews or even your own children, That's a healthy way of living with people that you love, and your friends as well.
	And that is the way that these two characters interact.
	And it was such a revelation to me, because I'd been trying to write characters like this, actually, at the time that I watched this film.
	And then this film kind of just laid it out for me, and it was so brilliant.
	And a lot of the jokes really are funny.
	Just after that moment where he said, oh, no, no, he didn't come anywhere near my tabloids, he then asks her, and I actually used this line with a girl who I'd forced to watch the film.
	At one point, a girlfriend that I'd had, I pointed to something that I'd bought her for Christmas, and I'd go, oh, that's a nice thing.
	Who gave that to you?
	And she goes, you did.
	And I go, I'm spoiling you.
	Totally stolen from the film.
	She knew it was stolen from the film.
	Did you get it?
	Did you get your reference?
	Yeah, she got it.
	She got it.
	She thought I was an idiot, but she got it.
	You know, not every joke lands.
	Sometimes it's a little bit silly, but I just love this movie.
	I love the jokes.
	I love the... You know what it is?
	It's the charisma of the main two characters.
	These two characters became huge stars after this.
	They started lots and lots of films, but this is the film that did it and made them these big stars, and I think for good reason.
	Yeah, look, you're a movie buff.
	I'm a movie buff.
	I'd heard this name, Myrna Loy, because she's such a big name, you know, like the Rita Hayworths and everything else of the age the Ava Gardner's.
	But I don't think I'd ever registered her in a movie or noted, ah, that's Myrna Loy.
	So this is the first movie I've seen with her in a starring role.
	And I want to break down a little bit later There is something unique about this film, and it is the relationship between the married couple.
	And the way it is portrayed is rather unique, and I did a little bit of research about her, that she had a reputation for, how to put this, always being able to adapt To her leading man and working together in a complimentary fashion.
	And I think here is a perfect exemplar of exactly that.
	So it's the first of the thin man movies.
	It's a detective thriller, kind of.
	It's also a comedy as well.
	And it sets up, I think, for the rest of Film history, the kind of Agatha Christie-esque, bring the suspects together for dinner and I shall reveal who the murderer is.
	With one big difference, we'll tell you about that momentarily.

	We'll be back with The Thin Man in a moment.
	She kept me from seeing my father.
	I went down there to ask her where he was, and she wouldn't tell me, so... So I shot her.
	How many times?
	Once or twice.
	Where'd you hit her?
	I hit her in the... in the heart.
	What'd she do?
	She... fell over.
	She screamed?
	Yes.
	Which way'd she fall?
	She... she fell over backwards.
	Whom are you trying to protect?
	Oh, Nick, I... Oh, wait a minute.
	She was shot four times.
	She fell on her face.
	She couldn't scream because she was killed instantly.
	Who do you think did it?
	I don't know.
	Where'd you get this gun?
	I bought it in a pawn shop.
	Is that another lie?
	No, Nick.
	That's the truth.
	Oh, Nick!
	Just the fun facial expressions between Nick and his wife there.
	As he's listening to what?
	As he's listening to the missing thin man's daughter confessing to a crime she did not commit to protect him and try and deflect the interest away from her father.
	The woman, I knew she was familiar, Chris, the woman playing The daughter, Dorothy, is Maureen O'Sullivan, who would return in the director of this film's Tarzan of the Apes as Jane.
	It's a movie series which I think I've told you about, but you haven't checked out yet.
	I watched the first part of the first movie, and then I was busy, so I didn't get on with it.
	But yeah, it's on my desktop waiting for me to watch the rest of it.
	We'll have to do Tarzan at some point, I think.
	Well, I think it's very funny.
	I adore Johnny Weiss and all the Tarzans.
	My dad adored them, and I watched them with him as a kid as reruns on television.
	And the fact that the same person WS Van Dyke directed the Tarzan movies and then directed The Thin Man.
	I don't think that's a coincidence, Chris, do you?
	Well, he directed a lot of movies.
	He was one of these directors that they just gave everything to him.
	And occasionally something worked out.
	In this particular film, I believe these two actors, William Powell and Mary Lloyd, had been working on another film that he had been producing or directing or something.
	He had directed another film with them in it, but they weren't together in that film.
	But off screen, like when they were just hanging out off screen.
	They clicked.
	They were so funny.
	Yeah, they clicked and they were joking around and stuff.
	They never like married or dated, I don't believe, or anything like that.
	But just hanging out off set, they were just having fun and stuff.
	And he noticed this.
	And he was like, Oh, if I ever have a project with one of them, I'll cast the other one as the love interest because they work together so well.
	And, and it turned out to be this, you know, this is the kind of thing that is kind of like Hollywood magic.
	Right.
	Um, yeah.
	And I look, when I saw this guy for the first time, I believe there's really two actors of this era that have, I would say, top level charisma.
	And one is, um, gone with the wind.
	What's his name?
	What's his name?
	Anyone?
	Clark Gable.
	Clark Gable, phenomenally, phenomenally charming.
	He just exuded charm.
	But William Powell, I actually give the edge to William Powell in terms of charm, and here's why.
	Clark Gable, very handsome.
	William Powell is working with basically 90% charm and 10% looks.
	He's not the most handsome guy, but he has this presence on screen where he's fun, and he's charming, and he's smart, and you respect him, but you love hanging out with him.
	This place, where they are with their friends doing their stuff, is the place that I want to be.
	I would love to live in this world for a little while.
	That Christmas party we're showing right now, that's the kind of party you like to go to?
	Absolutely, I would love to live there for at least a couple of years, maybe.
	Just hang out with these people.
	Look, this is not... I will admit...
	Because, you know, not everybody's going to love this film.
	I realize that.
	It doesn't have the clear and precise story that something like Casablanca does where you can follow it.
	It is so convoluted.
	Oh, my gosh.
	I mean, like 15 minutes in when, you know, the blonde woman who looks like the ex-wife looks like the girlfriend.
	Katie's saying, so which one is that?
	And we're trying to explain.
	I mean, mobsters are coming in left, right and center, shooting people running around.
	It's like, who is who?
	What's going on?
	I do think they were probably following the novel.
	I've never read the novel, but I think I did buy the novel at some point.
	I just never read it.
	It's a it is a very convoluted story so much so that I don't even really understand it to this day.
	I'm telling you, I cannot follow what happened.
	I don't know how he solved the case.
	I don't know what happened.
	I just at the end, I just go, OK, and I go along with it, you know.
	But the writers of this screenplay.
	We're actually a husband and wife writing team.
	Oh, wow.
	And I think that's how they... Yeah, yeah.
	And I think that's how they made this into what it was.
	Both of them were, you know, your sort of typical Hollywood philanders.
	They'd both been married previously.
	But once they married, they stayed together for the rest of their lives.
	And that, you know, I think that it, you know, this is kind of a testament to that.
	If you watch the relationship between Nick and Nora Charles, you see, okay, if that was how they were, it makes sense that they stayed together because they just, you know, it's nice to be with somebody who's a good time just with you.
	You know what I mean?
	Like, it's enjoyable to be in their presence all the time.
	And I think that's what you get with these two.
	I think one of the best couples in the history of cinema, No, and you're absolutely right.
	You look at the actor, William Powell, and this looks like your granddad's accountant.
	This is not a hero.
	This isn't some super detective.
	And my wife was saying, is that the thin man from the title?
	Because he looks a bit thin, but he's not big, masculine.
	He's not that thin.
	Right.
	But he's not an alpha male.
	And he's not Humphrey Bogart.
	He's not Humphrey Bogart either.
	No.
	We're talking The Thin Man.
	I'd never seen it before.
	It's actually fun, especially for the relationship between Nora and the lead, the man who is the Nick character, the detective.
	Or rather, he's a retired detective now, or he thought he was retired.

	Chris, to your point, and to, you know, why I presumed you liked this movie so much, and I guessed right, just that, what was that, that 25 minute, 25 second clip, they sell it, these two actresses, Even when they're ribbing each other and say, oh, I don't care if something happens, they love each other.
	There is no question in any viewer's mind that these two people love each other.
	Right, Chris?
	Well, you made a little bit of a, like, a little, uh...
	A misstatement when you said that.
	You said these two actresses.
	And the irony of that is that if they were to remake this today... I went Biden.
	I went full Biden there.
	You went Biden.
	It's an actor and an actress, obviously.
	But if they made it today, it would be two actresses.
	That's the really messed up thing.
	But here's the great thing about this movie.
	One of the reasons I wanted to do this film is because I made this video a little while ago about the Passport Bros and what's wrong with American women today, right?
	And if you watch this film, here's the fascinating thing about this movie.
	When this movie came out, Nora Charles Was considered a very sort of progressive modern day woman who was, you know, she was like almost aggressive.
	She wanted to be the one to go.
	She was the one that wanted to go and solve this mystery.
	Yes.
	Nick did not want to go solve this mystery.
	He was done.
	He was retired.
	He wanted to throw parties and make cocktails.
	That's right.
	He wanted to live the good life.
	And she, you know, she comes from a wealthy family.
	And she was like, No, no, this is exciting, Nick.
	I've never been on like a mystery detective adventure.
	Let's do it.
	And he's like, All right, let's do it.
	So he goes ahead and he does it, you know, as his wife's big, you know, behest, because she's, you know, demanding this.
	And so she's the sort of dominant one in that very specific scenario.
	And in real life, this is what happens.
	This is probably what happened thousands of years ago.
	The man doesn't want to do something, the wife nags him, and he says, alright honey, let's do it.
	This is basically the entire story of feminism.
	There was a time when women couldn't vote.
	They nagged their husbands enough to give it to them, and now look where we are.
	But the point I'm trying to make is, What's weird is that we would look at her now and we would say, she is a much more old-fashioned woman than what we have today, right?
	And here's the reason, though.
	Because if you look at her, to me, she's a perfect example of how a woman should be today.
	Because she has got agency.
	She's not afraid to make fun of her husband.
	She jokes around and stuff like that.
	But at the end of the day, she respects him.
	She loves him.
	She reveres him.
	And she shows him that respect and she shows him that reverence.
	And she is the woman.
	She is certainly not the dominant one in the relationship as much as she might pretend that she is sometimes.
	And their relationship to me is a quintessential version of the best kind of relationship that you can have.
	And if you're a woman and you can't figure out why you're not able to attract a man, be more like Nora Charles.
	That's what I say.
	I love that analysis because she serves him.
	She's not the dominant figure in the marriage, but nevertheless, she's the one who gets him to live up to his potential.
	She knows That he can solve this.
	She knows everybody else is floundering.
	The police don't know what's going on.
	This young woman, the daughter, needs help.
	And she's the one through her own agency inspires him to be the best that he can be.
	So, wow.
	Bringing it, bringing his egg in.

	Thank you, Mr. President.
	What if somebody took $50 out of your wallet, out of your purse every month, and then donated it to Planned Parenthood?
	Or gave it to organizations that are targeting conservatives, trying to get them censored and canceled?
	Would you be okay with that?
	I know you wouldn't be okay with that.
	But guess what?
	If your cell phone is connected to the big cell phone companies, you're doing exactly that, and it's not just $50.
	The big cell phone companies are left-wing, they are woke, they donate millions of dollars every year to things like Planned Parenthood, to gun control foundations, to organizations that are attacking the First Amendment rights.
	Of Patriots.
	Why would you do that?
	Fun people who hate you with every call you make and every text you send?
	That's sheer insanity.
	Switch today, as I did, to the only Christian conservative cell phone company in America.
	It's called Patriot Mobile and they have the same nationwide coverage, a performance guarantee.
	Glenn and his team have the best customer service and you'll get free activation with my name.
	You keep your old number, keep your old phone, well they'll give you an upgrade and you'll
	get extra discounts if you're a veteran and first responder.
	Oh, and by the way, they fund causes you believe in.
	They've even funded conservative candidates for local school board races.
	They're on your side.
	They believe in the First Amendment, the Second Amendment, the sanctity of life.
	Don't fund those who hate America and hate you.
	That's lunacy.

	Now, I'm not sure if this is the first movie to ever do it.
	I'm sure Agatha Christie wrote about it before this movie was made.
	But this movie really In a very popular film, introduces a concept that we will see for the next 70 years again and again in the Detective Thriller.
	Here's a clip from The Thin Man.
	I'm going to get the murderer.
	And I've got an idea.
	You want to see me take him?
	Yes.
	Have you got a nice evening gown?
	What's that got to do with it?
	Have you got a nice evening gown?
	Yes, I've got a Lulu.
	Why?
	I'm going to give a party and invite all the suspects.
	The suspects?
	Well, they won't come.
	Oh, yes, they will.
	I'll get Gil to issue the invitations.
	Who do you think did it?
	Mimi.
	Mimi?
	Mimi, Jorgensen, Morelli, Tanner.
	What were you doing on the night of October 5th, 1902?
	I was just a gleam in my father's eye.
	I will invite them all to dinner and I will reveal who the killer is.
	Chris, how many times have we seen that?
	I know for years and years to come.
	But you know, look, this is such a great film to me.
	And I know you didn't I did worry that you weren't going to like it as much as I like it.
	But and it was such a big success at the time.
	And it's been so revered over the years and it's made so many sequels.
	It makes me wonder sometimes how this film has been kind of forgotten.
	Yeah.
	If I talk to some people, there are some movie buffs I've spoken with and they love the film as well.
	I think that what it comes down to is a couple of things.
	One, not a lot of comedies from this era are well known today.
	It's like, you know, some of the more serious films are better known.
	A lot of films from this era just aren't known at all.
	This is such an old movie.
	And then, beyond that, I think, like, the Clark Gable films are the ones that people remember, because Clark Gable was such a heartthrob, you know?
	And William Powell just is not the heartthrob guy.
	And Myrna Loy isn't the bombshell chick that a lot of the other women of that era were.
	She's beautiful.
	But she's not the bombshell.
	And so you've got these two actors that I think are totally underrated.
	And I think it's a real shame because I think that this is a true gem.
	I think actually all the films in this series are fantastic.
	There's another film called... I forget what it's called.
	Something like The Cat Burglar or something like this.
	Where William Powell plays a thief.
	And he sneaks... He's a jewel thief.
	Oh, I think it's called The Jewel Thief.
	Something like that.
	Anyway.
	So he goes in and he's stealing jewelry from these places, but everybody loves him because he's got these quote unquote special cigarettes that he gives everyone whenever he robs a jewelry store and basically makes them high and then escapes with the jewelry.
	And then everybody's sort of like messed up after he leaves and they can't talk to police because they're so messed up.
	And it's the first, I think it may be the earliest depiction I've ever seen in cinema Of a main character smoking weed.
	It's like the weirdest thing.
	I don't like weed.
	I'm not a big fan of it, but I had a friend who was a big pothead and he wanted to get into watching old movies and I go, I got the perfect movie for you.
	But it's really weird because I think it was before the Hays Code, right?
	So it was like, you know, this pre-code movie where they actually showed this in the film.
	And it just like blew my mind that they even had that back then in a movie.
	But yeah, there it was.
	It was kind of a funny, funny little Fact.
	I'm looking at his filmography.
	Oh my gosh, how many dozens of movies has he made?
	Maybe it's the movie The Jewel Robbery.
	Maybe that's the one.
	I think that's it, yeah.
	He was in The Great Gatsby as well.
	Fascinating.
	Just that clip for me is very interesting.
	Number one, I've got a Lulu, which is a kind of gown.
	The dresses in this movie Are stunning.
	Every woman is dressed to the T. Silk, taffeta.
	Some of these gowns are just mouth-watering.
	The men are all elegant.
	The men are all wearing hats.
	I mean, it's absolutely a beautiful period.
	And the other thing I find, everybody's bloody obsessed with money.
	Nobody works in this.
	I mean, apart from the cops.
	Everybody is a sponge.
	Everybody is obsessed with getting money for not doing any work.
	I guess because it's deep, right in the middle of the depression, people are obsessed with money.
	But you know the cutest thing, or not the cutest thing, the most powerful aspect of that clip?
	And it's about the, it's again, about the male-female and the couple.
	He says, so do you want me to get the killer?
	Then she says, yes, I want you to get him.
	It's like, yes, you are the guy just reaffirming.
	That's your job.
	You're my husband.
	You're the hero.
	And I'm not afraid.
	And I want you to catch the killer.
	Did you catch that, Chris?
	Oh, yeah.
	Yeah.
	I mean, this is what I was talking about before.
	If you go on Instagram, and you see what women are posting on Instagram, It's the most narcissistic stuff you've ever seen in your life.
	We live in a world of narcissism.
	I was talking about this the other day with a friend of mine, and she was worried that, like, she was saying, where should I move that I will have more friends?
	Because I don't have a lot of friends.
	And I said, you know what the problem is in our world today?
	The internet has made it so that anybody can do anything they want.
	You can dress up like a dog.
	You can, you know, you can go goth if you want.
	You can dress like you're from like the 17th century.
	Whatever you want to do, whatever is your thing, you can do that now and you don't actually have to associate with anyone in regular society because you can just go online and have your online friends.
	Now these online friends may not be Right, and you'll never be measured in any sense of a real community.
	That is one of the key things about social media.
	We are reviewing The Thin Man, coming to you from the Reliefactor.com studios.
	Reliefactor, why do I take it every morning and every evening?
	Well, because a million other people do.
	Why do they take it?
	Because it works!
	The ingredients, resveratrol, curcumin, omega-3s, are proven anti-inflammatories that assault the source of the pain, which is, of course, the inflammation.

	1-800-473-5433, reliefactor.com, reliefactor.com.
	You remember that first day you came to see me?
	You telephoned that he was in town?
	Yes, he called while I was out.
	Now, wasn't he slick about that?
	Well, that same afternoon,… …Julia telephoned him!
	She said that you were coming, Mimi!
	I… I wanted to ask about Mr. Wynand!
	Exactly!
	Well, our hero got terrified!
	He was afraid that Julia would break down and tell you that he had murdered Wynand!
	So, he went to Julia,… …and he killed her!
	And he left Wynand's watch chain in her hand!
	Is this true?
	Why are you saying it?
	It's the only way it makes sense.
	I hope you're well.
	It's not exactly Hercule Poirot.
	I don't know.
	I'm making this up as I go along.
	I got no idea who the murderer is.
	I didn't guess who the murderer is.
	I worked out who the dead body is in the cellar.
	We're not going to reveal any of that so you can have fun with this movie.
	All right, final thoughts on The Thin Man, Chris.
	We're going to have to rate it out of 10.
	I think we'll have to do it out of watch chains or maybe pellet guns.
	You can choose what we're going to use.
	The movie cost...
	$300,000 made almost one and a half million dollars. We have to hat tip to Aster the dog.
	That was a very well trained dog there, a real actor. What else? Final thoughts?
	Yeah, I just want to pick up on the point I was making before that I think in today's society,
	people tend to see each other as kind of disposable. Yeah, our friends are disposable,
	our relationships are disposable. And you just wouldn't have that kind of dedication
	of a wife today as often as you did back then. And I think this movie depicts that very well.
	But I also want to point out that the title, Thin Man, It's actually about the man who's killed at the beginning of the film.
	It's not about the hero, which is very confusing and probably the worst name of any film ever.
	Especially since it becomes the name for the five sequels, which have nothing to do with that guy who was in the first movie he was killed.
	Exactly.
	It just happens to be the name of the novel.
	And so that's how they did it.
	But yeah, it's kind of stupid.
	I'll rate it in terms of top hats.
	You know, for me, obviously, this is a 10 film, but because I rate it for how I think a modern audience would perceive it.
	I just think a certain percentage of the audience is going to love it, and a certain percentage won't.
	So I'm going to be very generous just because I love the movie so much.
	I'm going to give it an eight.
	Wow.
	I am going to be generous.
	This is not how much I would have given it until you explain to me why you like it.
	And simply because of the relationship between Nick and Nora, I think in the great panoply of all movies, I think I'm going to give it a seven and a half, just for that, because this is the kind of relationship you want to see in Western civilization.
	All right, we've got a couple of seconds left.
	I think it's obvious what the next movie is.
	It has to be.
	We've been talking about it for a year now, and it's made by the same director.
	Tarzan the Ape Man!
	All right, Chris?
	Wow.
	Okay.
	I absolutely love that game.
	Now you have to finish it.
	I have to finish it!
	I absolutely love it, I love it.
	Alright, follow this man on YouTube, follow him on Twitter, MrReaganUSA, The Alpha Critic as well.
