And I'm going to go ahead and get my laptop.
Is the administration looking to admit into the United States refugees from Gaza?
If so, how would the administration ensure there is no Hamas infiltration?
So, since the beginning of the conflict, we have helped more than 1,800 American citizens and their families leave Gaza, many of whom come to the United States.
President Biden's direction, we have also helped and will continue to help some particularly vulnerable individuals, such as children with serious health problems and Children who are receiving treatment for cancer get out of harm's way and receive care at nearby hospitals in the region and Palestinians may be eligible for a variety of existing pathways to enter the United States such as immigrant or non-immigrant visas.
We are constantly evaluating policy proposals to further support Palestinians who are family members of American citizens and may want to join them in the United States.
Matt Miller, such an impressive individual, State Department spokesperson, saying, I guess 8 million illegals that we know of aren't enough.
We're going to ship them in from Gaza.
And he actually said, we have multiple routes.
How to get them on U.S.
soil.
Now why is that a problem?
Hmm.
I showed this picture yesterday from Columbia University.
It is typical of the quote-unquote demonstrators on campuses across America.
More than 40 campuses in 20 states.
What is that uniform with the keffiyeh covering the face, the quote-unquote Palestine flag draped over their back?
It's a terrorist.
That's how terrorists dress.
Just look up PLO, look up Munich, look up Yasser Arafat, and you will see that for the last 60 years, that is the garb of jihadi terrorists.
And we want to bring them in From Gaza.
Oh, happy Friday.
I'm Sebastian Gorka.
This is America First.
What have we seen?
What do we know about the population of Gaza?
I don't mean the statistics from the Hamas Ministry of Health about how many innocent people have been killed.
I'm talking about at least two separate polls which have been taken since October the 7th amongst the people of Gaza.
Not Palestine, because there is no such thing as Palestine.
Which state between 72 and 78 percent of the residents of Gaza support what Hamas did on October 7th.
Allow me to repeat that for you.
The vast majority, more than two-thirds of the Arab Muslim population of Gaza, from whence Hamas launched the attack against innocent Israeli citizens, men, women and children who were slaughtered in the largest loss of life since the cessation of hostilities in 1945 and the end of the Holocaust, the Shoah, The majority of Gazans supported that action.
Young boys with grenades used against them as weapons.
Unarmed fathers decapitated.
I've seen the videos.
Decapitated with blunt garden hose.
Young IDF soldiers, females, beautiful young women, unarmed, hiding under a desk, as two jihadis walk into the barracks, find them, laugh, and one says to the other, on camera, which they all filmed, kill them both.
And he pokes his AK-47 under the desk and opens fire.
Or the two young women who are hiding inside one of those port-a-johns, one of those plastic toilets at the Nova rock concert in the middle of the Israeli desert, who are filming themselves on their phones.
One of them's trying to call for help.
They're hiding from the terrorists who have run roughshod over any living human thing.
In that concert.
And they're hiding in the toilet.
Until the phone drops as you hear the gunfire.
And they die inside that toilet.
Mm-hmm.
Yeah, 78% of Gazans support that.
And your government, the Biden administration, wants to bring those people to America.
In the meantime, there's a man who loves America, who wants to secure America, who... Genius campaign that he has.
Although, I don't know.
Is it him?
Is it the campaign?
Look, is there anyone... Eric, is there anyone that knows New York better than my former boss, President Trump?
Absolutely not.
He was made by New York, and then he turned around and made New York.
Ooh, look at that.
A little poetry early on Friday.
He was made by New York, and then he turned around and he made it.
Fifty years of being one of the most successful real estate moguls in the toughest market in the world in New York.
Oh, and the cretins Who want to denude you of the right to re-elect him as president and say, oh yeah, let's have a trial, um, so he can't campaign and, uh, and, uh, let's, let's hold it in mind.
In Manhattan.
He's back there today, which means what?
Every time he comes out of the court, he has a press conference.
He says, screw the judge.
I don't care.
I'm going to hold a press conference.
And then he has these events in Manhattan.
He goes to the bodega, where that poor bodega owner defended himself and was put in Rikers by Alvin Bragg.
Oh, and in Harlem, cheers.
We love you, Trump.
Then he goes and visits who?
We have the footage from yesterday.
He goes to the FDNY, takes his massive stack of pizzas.
He looks so happy as a pizza delivery man to the firefighter.
Look at the beaming faces of the men who run into the burning buildings.
I love these guys.
I spent a lot of time with them recording a documentary last year on 9-11.
And we don't have the sound right now, we're just playing the footage of him meeting these firefighters, but I'll post the sound.
In the background, what do you hear one of them say?
One of them says, Save us.
Save us, Mr. President.
The juxtaposition could not be more gargantuan, more obvious.
A political elite?
that wants to bring terrorism to you from a hell hole where they think killing women and children is good.
Where killing Jews or Christians, just any kind of infidel, that's great.
Versus a man who, what did he say?
What was that cult we used?
About Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi when our guys killed the head of Al-Qaeda.
He died like a dog.
Choose the man who's importing terrorists and terrorist lovers, or choose the man who has terrorist leaders killed like a dog.
It's a very easy choice, I think.
Are you helping him?
Are you politically engaged?
There's a lady who keeps DMing me on Twitter saying, I pray for this, I pray for that, I pray for this, I pray for that.
Yeah, great, wonderful.
Good, so do I. Praying isn't enough.
If you're not actively politically engaged, working on a campaign, volunteering for a campaign, knocking on doors, running for the local school board, working a telephone bank from home for candidates, you're actually helping the left.
Because guess what?
The left's organized.
Are you going to help President Trump save America like that firefighter asked him?
It's up to you, my friend.
Do it.
Before it's too late.
I'm Sebastian Gorka.
It's Friday.
It's Ask Dr. G Anything.
The number is 833-33 Gorka.
That's 833-334-6752.
It's also Second Amendment Friday.
We're going to have a great guest who's running for Congress!
Because he may be a gun guy, but he wants to help President Trump save America.

Uh-oh.
Oh, I need, um... Yes?
Not the Dave that sends us stuff, though.
It's a different one.
Oh.
Okay.
I need the headline... From... Jim's latest piece.
Jim Jordan?
Oh, no, no, no, no.
Sarkurt.
Yeah, okay.
Jim Jordan.
I'll send it to you.
Okay, thanks.
I have his book as well, if you want to mention it again.
Which one?
Well, there's Overlord, the fiction one, and then there's... Remember the attack?
Oh, uh, the attack.
The attack.
And I think... Oh, yep.
Your activity.
Here I come.
Hold on.
As long as you muzzle that dog.
Well, you gotta be more specific.
Hey, honey?
Take him on a walk!
The farther away the better!
Don't gnome those dogs!
I heard that.
Take him on a walk.
Farther away the better.
Give him a bloody bone.
Don't gnome those dogs.
Throw him a fricking bone.
I heard that.
I was going to say that but I didn't want to offend you.
He said don't gnome those dogs.
What?
Don't gnome those dogs?
Oh, what's this?
What's this?
Where are we coming to you from?
Where are you?
Is this Texas?
This is my alternative living arrangement since my house got flooded and we're out of it for a couple months as my own house is rebuilt.
I was just there today.
It looks like Hiroshima or a Democrat blue city.
So are you in a rental or something?
Yeah, USAA is paying the rent.
Oh, I can imagine.
Oh, it's unbelievable.
You don't have a line in microphone we can use instead of the... I don't, I'm sorry.
No worries.
What's a good stuff to play here for Kurt?
Maybe the Sununu?
Oh yeah, we're gonna play Sununu, that's for sure.
He might like the AOC.
The AOC... Okay, we've got... Where is it, where is it?
The kale one would be good, though, again.
The kale one?
We could do the kale one.
Yeah, I can't get enough of that one.
Do you have the frat boys yelling Lizzo at the fat woman?
No!
No, no, no.
Oh, it's glorious!
The frat boys cover!
You want me to get it real quick?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
It's hilarious!
I'll have to get it for the second segment.
For the second segment, that's fine.
Frat Bros being the savior of America was not on my 2024 bingo card.
My article for Monday is going to be Revenge of the Nerves Lied to You.
We need Ogre right now.
Come in with five and then I'll probably tee up nine.
And then tee up nine, okay.
I have this book, I have the headline.
I'm going to mention the attack, alright?
Or do you want me to do... Still selling!
Which one?
The attack.
The attack.
You don't know, eh?
You don't know, eh?
Whatever the case may be.

The fact is that we're looking outside and we're seeing all of the things that are taking place in our economy, with inflation, with the kind of numbers that are being announced.
We're seeing all of the crime that's going on outside.
And to be sitting in this courtroom over this is just ridiculous.
It's election interference at the highest level.
Never been done before in our country.
And I should be out campaigning right now.
And I want to be out campaigning like I was yesterday.
We finally had a break.
And I was out campaigning yesterday.
Very unfair.
There's never been anything like this in the history of our country.
Never.
They're such idiots, they give him a national and international podium every single day he's in court.
He's back there today.
That's my former boss, the President of the United States.
We need to make him 47 as well as 45.
God willing, it's up to us.
If you want to recharge your batteries, if you want a plot for how we do that, join us for July 4th.

It's been far too long since he's been on the show, but whether he comes or not doesn't matter because he's always causing trouble.
We just call him the crazy Colonel K. Kurt Schlechter!
Happy Friday!
Happy Friday, Dr. Gorka, and I have sent the dogs for a walk.
The vicious hounds from hell have been sent for a walk, hopefully far away from Kirstie Gnome.
Kurt, I have so much to discuss, especially your latest piece that inspired me for my monologue a few days ago about the GOP getting serious.
But first, not yet, not yet.
Calm down, calm down.
OK.
First, I want to play, this is, We've had so much fun in the last six months with the rhino of all rhinos from New Hampshire, Chris Sununu, who is being rolled out perennially by that other rhino, Neil Cavuto on Fox.
And Neil's very angry because the man who was lambasting my former boss for months says, well, I'm going to vote for President Trump.
I just would like to play this for you because I found it delicious.
Hit it.
Look, I'm going to vote.
It shouldn't surprise anybody that the Republican governor is going to vote for Trump.
You know, we fought hard in the primary, right?
We fought very hard.
No, no, no, but you weren't just any Republican.
You weren't any just Republican governor.
You had said, referring to Donald Trump, ass rhymes with shoals, come and go.
Trump isn't the future.
You had also said, I don't think he's so crazy that you could put him in a mental institution, but I think if he were in one, he'd have a tough time getting out.
Said that he didn't have the energy.
That's funny.
Droning on for 90 minutes in long form speeches.
All these horrible things you said about the guy, and then all of a sudden... Look, you're for the guy!
Here's what it comes down to.
Yeah, here's what it comes down to.
Elections are about choices.
Biden is that bad of a president, inflation is that painful to the average American family, the border crisis is that real to all 50 states, that everybody is saying, oh wait a minute, we need a culture change.
Biden is that bad that he's making Trump electable.
And I would much rather have a Republican administration that believes in states' rights and more flexibility to the individual and less big government ideals than this terrible culture that we have with Biden.
You don't believe that voting for him, like you said not too long ago, is like putting gasoline on a firework?
It's just going to get so much worse?
I haven't seen Neil Cavuto that angry since somebody gave him a noogie in high school.
You're a very stute political observer, Colonel K. I hate, I detest Sununu, but even Sununu understands we've got to win.
Can you help me explain the Cavutos of the world who say that they're conservatives, but just can't get over the fact that America wants my old boss back?
I don't understand why he's stunned that a Republican after the primary goes, OK, you won.
I'm on your side now.
Look, I was a supporter of Ron DeSantis.
I thought Ron DeSantis had a better chance of winning.
Shows what I know, considering the polls right now.
But as soon as Ron DeSantis So what is it?
Do you have a theory for what it is?
Because if you say you're a patriot, I don't get it.
Is Cavuto going to vote for Biden?
That's what you do. I don't, I, I...
But so what, what is it? Do you have a theory for what it is? Because if you say you're
a patriot, well, I don't get it. Is Cavuto gonna vote for Biden? What is this mental
stumbling block, Curt?
Well, there's a lot of these. Well, I don't think there are a lot.
There are a few high-placed, never-Trump folks who allow their prejudices against the man to blame themselves.
Like, he's not perfect.
No one is.
Sununu, and the first time in recorded history I've ever said it, is right!
Elections are about choices.
For me, it's a very easy choice.
Yeah, it's not even a choice.
It's just totally obvious.
Alright, I want to mention your article that inspired me from Town Hall.
You have to follow Kurt at Kurt Schlichter.
Conservatives need to man up and play by the new rules.
We've been going back and forth on this topic along with our buddy Jim Hanson.
Everybody needs to go and read the article, but explain, in the British Army we call it Big Boy's Rules, explain what Conservatives need to do for the next six months and the next four years.
Conservatives need to ruthlessly exercise what power they have to obtain their objectives and to protect the interests of other Conservatives.
It's that simple.
Look, there were slightly different rules.
There was a little Noblesse Oblige.
Noblesse Oblige, the Marquis of Queensbury, all of that gentlemanly stuff, right?
Yes, and look, if you gave me the choice of how I would rather tackle the scenario, But they had a different choice.
They wanted different rules.
And I said, Dr. Gorka, you're not going to like the new rules.
Let's keep the ones that we have.
But I was outvoted.
They imposed it.
OK, now it's on.
Now we're using those rules, and we're going to use them really hard and really fast.
And that includes using the legal system without the discretion that we used to.
To prosecute our political opponents.
I'm not saying frame them like they're the media don't start.
No, no, no.
Prosecute those who have committed crimes.
Yes!
Yes, in the past, you would lean over backwards not to prosecute political enemies.
And frankly, I think that's the way to do it.
You and I, and your audience, students of history, we know why Julius Caesar crossed the Rubicon.
And it wasn't because he wanted to go tour Tuscany.
Lawfare is a very dangerous and corrupting tactic when it's normalized.
Unfortunately, it's been normalized and you've got a choice.
You either fight back or unilaterally just... You know, to put it in military terms, Colonel, it's, you know, the other side has discovered shoulder-launched man-portable rockets and we want to go up against them with our bolt-action rifles.
The tools of warfare have changed and we can't maintain any kind of realistic space on the battlefield unless we up our game.
We're talking to Kurt Schlichter, the good colonel.
The latest book we'll be discussing next is The Attack, how October the 7th could happen here in America.
Give him a follow!
He's got a rather good Twitter game, at Kurt Schlichter.
And while you're there, give us a follow as well to keep up on the breaking news.
I'm on all the platforms that matter.
Excluding that fascistic one, YouTube.
Just look for Seb Gawker or Sebastian Gawker.
You can watch us by downloading the Salem News Channel app as well.
And don't forget, original content by me.
Brand new article up yesterday at my Substack.
SebastianGawker.Substack.com.
Including direct access to me.
My whole name is one word.
SebastianGawker.Substack.com.
We'll be back with the Colonel after these messages.
How did you get a flood?
Uh, pipe broke.
And, uh, we come home and the kids were, we're in the kitchen, kids were standing there and Irina's like, Why are the hardwoods flat bowed?
And the kids go, oh yeah, it happened a couple days ago.
And it's like, did you think you might want to mention that to us?
So it's, and I'm taking the time, I'm taking the opportunity to, while the walls are open, to re-pipe everything.
Spot, spot.
But I mean, it was a disaster.
Everything was wrapped, mold, it was bad.
It was not... no bueno in Hispanic.
Hey, Dr. P, let me ask you a question. Is there a source out there that is actually covering this
kangaroo court?
Because I can't find any actual legal analysis of what is actually going on, what the witnesses are Is it Julie Kelly covering it?
But Julie does a lot of different things, and she's great.
Although Andrew McCarthy drives me up the wall, his analysis of how this is a complete joke is dead on.
It's a complete legal joke.
Yeah, I mean, Eric, who's the best for covering it?
For covering the Manhattan case?
Because Julie's focusing more on Florida.
I was going to say Julie.
You know, her coverage of Florida is superb every single day.
She's incredible.
Incredible.
But Manhattan... And a non-lawyer!
I know, stunning.
I mean, yeah, but she actually reads the court documents like the journalists don't actually do, which, you know, helps.
I want the audience to understand that every lawyer on Twitter, unless it is me or approved by me, is terrible.
I mean, they're awful.
They wish-cast.
I will tell you if I think, hey, I get Trump in trouble because of X, Y, and Z. Oh, what about Mike Davis?
Oh, I love Mike Davis.
Yeah, Mike's good on Manhattan, and he clerked for Gorsuch, so he knows the law.
Yeah, I continually send him suggestions for Department of Justice investigations once January comes around.
But because I would imagine it is a federal crime to conspire across state lines or use interstate communications devices to organize the commission of misdemeanors.
Might even be a RICO.
Yeah, I like that.
I like that.
Oh, do we have the frat boys?
Uh, yeah, it's over two minutes long though, but I have the cut.
Show me.
Playback one, go.
Lizzo!
You don't have the flag one.
You don't have any b-roll of the flag.
I do.
That was UNC Chapel Hill playback too.
Show it to them real quick.
Love this.
Oh, it's beautiful.
You know, these kids have been told their whole life that they're the problem.
Let's talk about that.
You want to use the Lizzo cut?
No, no, no.
I might use 11 if we have time.
Got it.
All right, 20 seconds.

Mr. Mayor, Mr. Mayor, will you please wait?
Mr. Mayor, Mr. Mayor, why do you have to run from us?
Why do you have to run from us, Mr. Mayor?
That's so weird.
Who's he running from?
A journalist?
I don't get it.
Brandon Johnson, the mayor of Chicago, actually running away from a female mayor.
Journalist, Eric, what did Jeff say before we started the show?
What has the mayor done twice since he became mayor?
Apparently, Mayor Brandon Johnson of Chicago, mayor of one of the biggest cities in the world, has been hospitalized twice with anxiety.
My gosh, unbelievable.
Maybe he needs a good night's sleep.
Maybe he needs one of Mike Lindell's pillows.
How's that for a transition?
Buy American!
Don't buy that Chinese tat on Amazon!
The left hates this man because he's a patron, because he's a friend of President Trump's.
Let's have his back.
He sold 81 million of the pillow that never gets hot, never loses shape, but he's got hundreds of items on his website for you, your loved ones, and even your four-legged furry friends.

All right, we have to talk about the serious book you wrote, Record Speed.
It's the attack, how the events of October the 7th could happen here in America.
I've read it.
It's excellent.
Get it, dear friends.
It is a wake-up call for all Americans.
I want to start, however, with a little positive news.
The Tar Heels of Chapel Hill, the frat boys who now have $400,000 for a rager for a little keg party that has been...
donated because of what they did.
They saved the flag that the pro-Hamas, pro-terrorists were pulling down onto the ground at their university campus.
Kurt, you said something really cool in the break.
Why does this visual make you so happy?
Well, look, these young men, who are all healthy and thin and not pierced and not anxiety-ridden mutants with face diapers, have been told their entire lives, based on their gender and their skin color, that they are bad people, that they are the problem, that they are inferior and wrong and should submit.
And I think young men today are just saying, no, we're not going to do that.
We're done.
We're finished, and we're going to save America.
It is so inspirational to see the flag of the State of Israel next to the flag of the United States defying these chubby, pierced, weirdos, losers, and mutations.
Look at these people, Dr. Gorka.
Have you seen one of them who look like a normal human being?
It's so weird that you look at the arrest photographs.
They're almost all ugly, white women.
They're not Arabs.
They're not Muslims.
They're blue-haired, unattractive females.
I'm trying to get my head around that.
Let's go back to your book, The Attack.
Are you more concerned, after what you've seen on 53 campuses in 23 states, that your expectation of attacks in America is heightened?
Look, I think I'm right.
I think that what I predict in the book, where I talk about how these college mutants will side with terrorists, given the chance, They're telling us.
You're colonizers.
You're settlers.
From the river to the sea.
The river being the Mississippi and it going to both seas.
We are the enemy.
But here's the thing.
I don't intend on lying down and letting this kind of crowd of losers and freaks Roll over me?
And I don't think most Americans are.
The only way they can defeat us is if they talk us into surrendering.
And I'm not in a surrendering mood.
No, let's just play that cut we have of the lady who needs her kale salad and her almond latte.
Do we have that?
Let's play that cut.
First of all, we're saying that they're obligated to provide food to students who pay for a meal plan here.
But you mentioned that there was a request that food and water be brought in.
To allow it to be brought in, I mean, well, I guess it's ultimately a question of what kind of community and obligation Columbia feels it has to its students.
Do you want students to die of dehydration and starvation or get severely ill, even if they disagree with you?
If the answer is no, then you should allow basic... I mean, it's crazy to say because we're on an Ivy League campus, but this is like basic humanitarian aid we're asking for.
Like, could people please have a glass of water?
Are you impressed by the leadership of the resistance, Colonel Kaye?
I am deeply unimpressed.
You know, this is what happened when spoiled children age out at 25.
I mean, the thing is, Dr. Corker, among her, and I'm probably misgendering it, crew of weirdos, losers, and mutations, this kind of talk is perfectly normal inside that bubble.
I love that normal people are seeing it going, Wait, what?
I must be getting it wrong because you illegally occupied a building and now you expect to be door dashed at the school's expense?
Yeah, they expect the delivery to continue whilst they're barricading themselves into the library.
Colonel Kurt Schlichter, author of The Attack, get it today and follow him on Twitter at Kurt Schlichter.
Thank you, kind sir.
I'm Sebastian Gawker.

Those discussions are pointless.
We need to focus on the mission, which is winning.
And he said one of his colleagues was, you know, roped into a stupid sidebar discussion on CNN or whatever when their ego was appealed to saying, oh, you've been considered for And then, you know, goes down this stupid rabbit hole instead of talking about Biden, the campuses, the war in the Middle East.
It's like, focus, focus, focus.
And I think he's right.
Look, lots of people I like.
I love Ben Carson.
I like Byron Donalds, Zeldins, you know, a friend of mine.
But right now, you know, it's got to be, you know, what's the primary operating concept?
And that's got to be victory on November 5th.
I think so.
So, no Christy Noem.
She freaks me out.
She's like the Instagram politician.
She's like the Instagram, you know, only fans politician.
I never got her because I never trusted her.
You know, Donald Trump's a very smart and savvy guy.
And people don't give him credit.
He's going to pick somebody who's going to help him in the election.
I think look at Youngkin, look at Burgum, maybe look at one of the female governors, maybe Reynolds, maybe Sarah Huckabee Sanders.
Oh, I love Sarah.
There are lots of other guys I love.
I love J.D.
Yeah.
I don't know.
I don't know if he brings, he leaves a seat open in Ohio, so that's a problem.
I mean, there are a lot of good choices.
But I bet you he's going to get someone who's different than him, and who the kind of softer donors will hearken to.
I think he's going to do what he usually does and he's going to surprise everyone.
For most of it I thought uh Peery Pence was an inspired choice.
That kind of went a little south.
But back in 16, it was smart.
All right, buddy, got to bounce.
Have a good one.
Look after those hounds.
Making sense, huh?

Another part of my childhood just died.
I'm sure Mr. G is as grief-stricken as I am.
This happened moments ago.
Luke Skywalker stepped up to the podium at the White House.
The left-wing lunatic Mark Hamill.
As Joe Concha reported on Twitter moments ago, Has there ever been a White House more tone deaf and read the room worse than this one?
What did Mark Hamill do?
He stepped up to the podium and he said, uh, you can call me Joe.
He's talking about Biden.
Can I?
And then he says to the president, can I call you jobby one Kenobi as opposed to Obi-Wan?
That's the day after... What were the employment figures, Eric?
Pretty crappy employment figures were published this morning, right?
Yeah, the unemployment rate ticked up to 3.9%.
And this is the day that this Hollywood lunatic says, you can call me Joby Wan Kenobi.
Even crazier than his animated counterpart, the Joker.
He's living up to his voiceover work for the Batman cartoon.
All right, let's go to your calls.
The call board is almost full.
Only one line open.
Let's go to Nancy in Philly, line one.
Hey, good Friday.
Happy Friday, Dr. G. Thank you.
Did you happen to see the article in the Daily Mail written by Maureen Callaghan?
Claiming that Trump is definitely going to lose because all women believe that no man is ever going to tell them what to do with their body.
And juxtapose that to all of the leftist, liberal, Democrat females screaming support for Palestinian and Hamas vicious, violent, premeditated rapists.
I did not see it.
I've never heard of this woman.
I don't know who she is.
The Daily Mail has been rather problematic of late, and it goes against all the polling that we've seen.
So I think this is a woman who is just writing down her wish fulfillment in the form of an article.
I don't doubt that.
You know, so the way I view it is that the Democrat Party, they are pro-choice when it comes to abortion, but they are pro-no-choice.
Yeah.
Well, look, never let it be said that the left is consistent.
The only thing that they are consistent on is hatred of our civilization.
So, my body, my choice, I guess that doesn't apply when it comes to vaccines either as well.
And I guess it doesn't apply to supporting Hamas and the Gazans that support what happened on October the 7th.
Thank you, Nancy.
Have a blessed Friday.
Dave in Arizona, line two.
Thanks so much, Dr. Gorka.
Ultramaga, Penn State, Sigma Phi Epsilon.
Happy Warrior Ditto, sir.
Greetings, my friend.
Love to see what those fraternity guys did.
I think we would have done the same thing back in the day.
I know.
It was beautiful to watch.
Beautiful to watch.
Absolutely.
So I love your passion about the Middle East, but the name of the show is America First.
We got to focus on everything in our borders, because Colonel Kurt is correct.
We are waiting for another time bomb to go off within our country.
And I wanted to thank you, too, for the sign.
I proudly posted President Trump's mugshot on my front lawn in Surprise, Arizona today, sir.
Good, good.
I appreciate it.
But you do know what grammatically America First means, right?
This is from my good friend Ryan McBeth, who pointed this out on a video last week, and it's genius.
America First does not mean America Only.
Are you clear on that?
I don't disagree with you at all.
We just need to make sure that American citizens Forget about what Biden's doing.
He hates America.
But do you understand that what is happening in the Middle East is intrinsically linked to the survival of our country as well?
discounting our worth every single day. Forget about what Biden's doing, he hates America,
but do you understand that what is happening in the Middle East is intrinsically linked to the
survival of our country as well because it is a war against our civilization? I do.
A hundred percent.
They invaded Europe a decade ago, and now they're moving into our shores.
A hundred percent.
Right.
So we can't say it's irrelevant what's happening over there, because all of these things are linked.
And I would just counsel you to think of the fact that America first does not mean America only.
Thank you, Dave.
Have a blessed Friday.
Let's go to Rick, line three, Phoenix.
Hi, Dr. Gorka.
I have a couple of movie suggestions, if I may.
Yeah.
Oh, hang on.
Let me get my list out.
Go ahead, my friend.
First one is World War II, Heroes, Sergeant York with Gary Cooper.
Oh yes, that's a classic.
I think we must do that.
Second one is World War, the other one was World War I, this is World War II, To Hell and Back with Audie Murphy.
Yep.
Thank you.
Excellent.
That's it?
Okay, perfect.
I love it.
Let's squeeze in one more call.
Phil in Philly!
Hey, Dr. G, happy Friday.
Happy Friday.
You know what?
When I saw the congressman with the solicitation behind him questioning Mayorkas about vote for Biden flyers being put out, it really bugged me.
So, Phil from... Hang on, let's just say for people who missed that, thanks to the Heritage Foundation, they found flyers being distributed in Mexico to illegals in Spanish saying, cross the border and vote for Biden.
God bless the Heritage Foundation.
Carry on, Phil.
Okay, so I figured how the heck are they going to do that?
They're concentrating on getting in.
When they get in, they have to take them in them tents and they're having them sign different various forms, whatever.
There's Federal Form 186.
Anybody can pull it up and see.
It's a blank presidential ballot.
It can be signed any time.
It can be sent in any time.
When they got a wet signature on this, those things are going on the planes to the cities that... Hang on, hang on, hang on.
That doesn't make any sense.
That does.
It does make any sense.
The ballots, even the presidential elections are run by the states, and the states and municipalities print the ballots.
The presidential election form in Massachusetts is completely different from the one in Texas.
Dr. G, it's an absentee ballot form, form 186, and it can be signed and sent in anytime, anywhere in the United States.
I'm going to look that up, because I don't believe that that form is valid across every state in America, because the federal government does not run elections.
If it did, we would be in a much worse situation, especially after last year.
But I will look that up.
The number you said is federal form 186, Phil? 186.
All right, I'm going to look it up.
Thank you, Phil.
I'm Sebastian Gorka.
This is America First coming to you from Reliefactor.com studios.
Don't support the left with your cell phone calls.
All the big cell phone companies are woke.
Their left wing switched today to the only Christian conservative cell phone company.
It's the one I use, Patriot Mobile.
They have the same nationwide coverage.
A performance guarantee.
You keep your old number, you keep your old phone, or get an upgrade, but they're not giving millions of dollars to things like Planned Parenthood or gun control foundations.
They're on your side, giving millions of dollars to causes you believe in, like the First and Second Amendment and the sanctity of life.
Switch today, it's as easy as calling 972-PATRIOT.
Free activation with my name, extra discounts for veterans and first responders.
Go to patriotmobile.com slash Gawker.
That's 972-728-7468, patriotmobile.com, slash Gawker.
Thank you very much.
That's what I couldn't get to.
Federal form.
It's for people living overseas.
Ah.
186.
I need titles.
Yeah, for Richard, safe spaces, question mark.
I like being in danger.
Monologue.
Trump and the pizzas.
What?
Trump and the pizzas.
Yeah, yeah.
But what was, oh, what was the main argument?
Biden importing illegals versus Trump littering pizzas.
Biden imports terrorists, comma, President Trump feeds our firefighters.
Mm-hmm.
And then for Kurt.
This is interesting.
This is very interesting.
Where does this go?
to...
20 seconds to...
Thanks for watching.
We've looked up this form, thanks to Phil from Philly.
There is a federal form, 186, for elections.
It's the federal write-in absentee ballot, but as I suspected, the last page of the form, which is like, it looks like an envelope address page, Hasn't got an address.
Why?
Because the federal government doesn't run elections.
You have to fill in the address of your local election office.
It's interesting.
The fact that this form exists is problematic, but it doesn't have an address where to send it, so it's a little bit more complicated than Phil said, but this is why we have the best callers out there.
I didn't know this existed, and now I do.
God bless you, Phil.
Good work.
Kathleen, San Francisco, line one.
Hi, Dr. Gorka.
Hey!
I just had a couple of quick film recommendations.
Okay, hang on, hang on.
I put my list away already.
I keep it at the top of my pile.
All right, what else?
Give me some names.
Okay, they're both film noir.
Uh-huh.
And they both star Richard Widmark.
Ooh, Richard Widmark, okay.
The first one is called Night in the City in 1950.
Night in the City?
Night and the City.
It's filmed in London.
And the second film, also Widmark, is called Pick Up on South Street.
And that was done in 1953.
And why do you like them?
Well, I really like film noir, but Richard Widmark, for me, he was an undiscovered treasure.
What do you mean undiscovered?
He was a big, famous movie star.
Well, I mean personally.
I had overlooked him.
I didn't pay any attention, and finally I did.
And you know how you sometimes don't pay attention and then suddenly, boom, the light goes on.
It's very stylistic.
The Night in the City filmed in London is all about the dark underground of London hustlers.
The dark underbelly.
Have you seen, Kathleen, the original Murder on the Orient Express?
When was the original made?
77, 76.
77, 76.
Was that the one with, was that the one with, was Ingrid Bergman in that?
Yes, Ingrid Bergman, Albert Philly played Poirot, and Widmark, Widmark played the evil Cassetti, who was the victim.
Yeah, that's right.
Yeah, I did see that.
Yeah, it's one of my absolute favorite movies.
Great recommendation.
Thank you, Kathleen.
Have a blessed Friday.
I'm Sebastian Gorka.
Where did that hour go?
That's crazy.
It's Friday.
It's Second Amendment Friday.
It's National Security Friday.
It's Ask Dr. G Anything Friday.
And it's making movies great again.
We're going to be reviewing my father's favorite movie, a classic.
You don't want to go anywhere.
In the meantime, You heard our caller.
He's got his yard signed with President Trump's booking photograph.
Have you got yours?
Get the t-shirt as well.
Get the mug.

I am where I am today. I am a man of faith. I am a man of faith. I am a man of faith.
I am where I am today because of protests.
We did it non-violently.
I was a disciple of Martin Luther King Jr.
Violent protest is not free speech.
And that is what we've got to get everybody to understand.
And Joe Biden protects free speech.
Who is that, Eric?
Who is that?
That is Congressman Jim Clyburn of South Carolina, aka the man responsible for Biden getting the Democrat nomination.
The guy who did the horse deal, right?
Horse traded behind closed doors to make sure that Biden was the nominee.
He agreed he would endorse him before the South Carolina primary in exchange for Biden promising he would nominate a black woman to the Supreme Court.
Right, right.
And according to him, Joe Biden is for freedom of speech.
Oh, yeah.
Someone needs to tell him about the Catholics and the pro-lifers who didn't get that memo, apparently.
Yeah, and everybody else who was censored on social media because Biden's FBI and DHS told them to censor them.
Don't forget the J6ers as well.
Oh yeah, the J6ers.
What about the leader of the opposition who's just had a gag order imposed upon him by the judge who is presiding over a courtroom where the chief prosecutor is one of Biden's former DOJ appointees?
Are we talking about the same Biden?
The same Biden, yeah.
The same Biden who's a DOJ, former DOJ lackey, is now trying to give the former president, what, 700 years in prison?
How long is it looking?
Yeah, 730.
Yeah, yeah.
That's how much they love freedom of speech.

Okay, I need assistance from Mr. G here.
You gave some great commentary, we might have to clean it up a little bit.
for broadcasting, but it is stunning how Alexandra Ocasio-Cortez, without fail, demonstrates every time she opens her mouth that she has to be one of the most ignorant, clinically imbecilic individuals to ever hold public office in America.
Here she is explaining why roads and cities are racist.
There is a psychic weight to living in communities that are designed to be disconnected.
It affects your social life.
My neighborhood that I'm from in the Bronx, in Parkchester, we have some of the longest commutes in all of New York City.
It is a commute not just to work.
It is a commute to do anything.
It is a commute to connect socially.
It is a commute to connect spiritually.
These decisions are designed to disconnect, disempower, and isolate.
People and when you layer that with a lot of Robert Moses is racist intent to very much do so to a very specific kind of people, black, brown, low income, poor, et cetera.
You can really see how it actually builds in organizing challenges.
Jeff, my first job was in the city of London.
Now, London is a big, bloody city.
It's 10 million people.
I had a 12-mile commute that would often take me an hour and a half, because that's London in rush hour.
An hour and a half to go 12 miles.
Does that make me black or brown?
I think it means that you lived in a city, so there's going to be traffic.
There's no major city that doesn't have a ton of traffic.
And what I love, she starts with the psychic weight.
How's your psychic weight?
Yes, it's tough.
And the spiritual weight, she said it's harder to connect.
And did you catch the end, which is the best part, it shows how stupid she is?
What, what, what?
She says it makes it harder to organize.
It's actually much simpler to organize when you have so many people that live in one building.
The district next to her is three square miles.
It's an entire district.
Okay, but let's just walk through this, okay?
So, lots of people living in one place and having to commute was designed to oppress black and brown people, right?
Yes.
And to provide this psychic weight on them.
I'd love to know what psychic weight is.
Anyway, I'll have to look it up.
I'm not smart enough.
I only got a PhD and a Master's.
What is she arguing for?
The logical explanation is what?
Should we like nuke all the cities and go live in the trees?
What's she arguing for?
She's just arguing that everything's racist.
You just have to figure out everything was designed racist.
Is that clip new?
Is that an old one?
No, that's a new one.
I'm sorry, we're going to have to post that online.
Absolutely delicious.

Brand new article up on my Substack about, well, how I dealt with the Washington Post this week.
It's lots of fun.
Just go to SebastianGawker.Substack.com.
That's my whole name.
There's one word, SebastianGawker.Substack.
Okay, back to what's happening in Manhattan.
They closed the court hearing today a little bit early, dismissed the jury.
President Trump gave a very little address afterwards, but we're getting some amazing analysis from the likes of George Conway.
Eric, what was that number?
How many millions of dollars did he donate to the Biden campaign last week, allegedly?
Oh goodness, allegedly?
Was it like 80 million or something?
What was it?
I guess he's been holding out all this time.
If it really was 80 million, yeah, that's insanity to me.
I wonder if that's Kellyanne's money.
Well, he's at it again with some deep judicial analysis.
Cut 10.
You know, you all hear psychologists talk about narcissistic abuses, basically what they say to victims are, look at what you made me do to you.
And that's exactly what he does.
He's doing it, he did it to the country for several years, and he's doing it to this judge, he's doing it to the witnesses in the case, doing it, and he's just doing, you know, it's this reptilian instinct of his.
And I think what the judge has to do is, you know, impose some more fines of $2,000 or $3,000 or $4,000, three or four of these, and then say, this is it.
This is it. This is it. Now you've been, we've had, we've gone through this twice.
The next time they come back and it's anything similar to what I'd hit you for with these
fines, I'm going to take, you know, you're going to spend, you're going to spend an hour on a bus
going up to Rikers. The idea, Eric, of that man, George Conway, describing any other human being
as a reptilian? Again, that's what I said, we reviewed that clip before the show started.
He looks like a frog, so he really should sit down and be quiet on this one.
Yeah, he really should not be calling other people reptilian.
Jeff, let's stay on the loony leftists.
We have Stephen Colbert with us.
I think, what is he, an actor?
John Leguizamo.
You're pretty steeped in media.
Maybe not Spanish-language media, but I'd like you to react to what he says about Hispanic Spanish-speaking only Latinos watch Univision, and that's where they get all their news and information.
And so, you should be impartial, you should be non-partisan, and they're not.
And it's problematic to me.
Are they right-wing in some way?
I've spoken off the record with some of the newscasters and they said that they were leaning, they were pushing them right way and they had Trump on.
And they softballed the whole questions.
They wouldn't allow Biden commercials on.
And then they didn't have Biden on for a long, long time.
And so I had to call them out on it.
You know, I called them out and then marketing people called me back.
They're such a hero.
I call them marketing people.
Jeff, I'm sorry, I always call it Univision.
Let me just correct myself.
Univision.
Univision is famously conservative, correct?
I mean, you're a media expert.
Yeah, it's owned by NBC.
And isn't that Jorge Ramos who Trump got into the fight with?
Yes!
He was thrown out of the press conference.
Right, so famously MAGA.
It's a MAGA channel, right?
Yeah, I guess Jorge's probably all over on Trump now.
He's on the Trump train.
And the idea that they had President Trump on Hank, is he the nominee for the Republican Party?
I think he is.
In like the record history, the first ever fastest nominee in American history, right?
That'd be correct.
So you shouldn't interview him?
I guess not.
I guess he had a problem with it.
I guess not.
Thank you for the clarifications.
I'm still learning this radio-media thing.

Yes.
Question for the good doctor.
What is the true definition of America first that is your touchstone?
Um, good question.
We'll do that on air.
I like that.
Big support.
I think you're just in relax mode.
You look like you're ready for a cruise.
He's schlubbing it again, isn't he?
Isn't he?
Is he slobbing it again?
Yeah, he's schlubbing it again.
He's doing his Thomas Magnum thing.
Where are the shorts?
We need some shorts. We need some shorts for that shirt.
Oh, I saw it.
Oh, I saw it.
You commented on it!
It's amazing!
Yeah, I love it!
Who sent that to you?
My wife, they were cleaning up my grandfather's house because they're getting ready to sell it and they found the picture in her sister's, just a bunch of photographs.
I gotta find it.
It was hilarious.
I reposted it, it was so good.
It looked like Like something from one of those Matt Damon movies.
You looked rather handsome, Jim.
Tell it to my wife who didn't marry me at the time.
Your wife who didn't marry you at the time?
My wife was my girlfriend.
She dumped me.
Like right after that photograph was taken, pretty much.
And then we got married 40 years later.
How many?
40.
I didn't know that!
We got married on the 40th anniversary of the day we met.
Wow.
This is such... Those shorts, dude.
Those shorts.
Yeah, well, we don't do that anymore.
Alright, I'm sending you some images, Mr. Landrum.
Yep.
Reagan just commented on her post, AOC.
Matt, so I was in Melbourne, Florida yesterday at the Republican Club.
Sorry, say that again?
I was in Melbourne, Florida yesterday at the Republican Club, and this is like the most MAGA place on earth.
Uh-huh.
It was cool.
It was cool.
You spoke there?
Yeah.
What are you talking about?
You know what Trump's second term would be like, foreign policy and all that stuff.
That was cool.
He came out against the two-state solution.
That was cool.
Oh, let's talk about that.
Yeah, these guys are trying to screw Yahoo every way possible.
It's un-freaking-believable.
We're coming in with Car 15.
Car 15.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Better than car 54.
I'm going to be a little bit more careful.
Thanks for watching!
Please subscribe!
They are out there because they are outraged by what the Israeli government is now doing in Gaza, which is bringing unbelievable harm, not just to the terrorist organization Hamas, but to the entire Palestinian people.
And that's why these anti-war demonstrators are out there.
They do not want to see a situation continue where 110,000 Palestinians out of, you know, 5% of the population have been killed or wounded.
Where children now face starvation.
Hundreds of thousands of children face starvation because Israel is refusing to allow humanitarian aid to get to where it has to go.
I'm really confused.
The figure was 33,000 and then Hamas that runs the health authority in Gaza corrected that a week ago saying no, it's actually 21,000.
Eric, how do we go from going down from 33 to 21 to now it's 100,000?
How do we go from going down from 33 to 21 to now it's 100,000?
Is Bernie, what's Bernie doing?
Bernie, I just can't understand him.
Maybe it's just a socialist math.
You know, that's just how it works.
Right answer.
It's socialist math.
It's Friday.
Second Amendment Friday.
We're very grateful to Car Arms, our sponsor for our Second Amendment Friday segments.
Car Arms.
The best.
That's why I carry a 9mm car every single day.
Check out their line of weapons at KAHR.com.
They understand the Second Amendment.
It's not about hunting whitetails.
It's about you being the final guarantor of your liberty.
Check out their line of weapons at KAHR.com, which includes the iconic Desert Eagle and the Auto Ordnance line of historic weapons such as the M1 Carbine, the venerable Tommy Gun, and the truly legendary 1911.
We're going to be announcing a rather special America First weapon imminently, so never miss our Friday segments, but go right now to KAHR.com, KAHR.com.
It's Friday, it's the second now, so we have to welcome in studio the man who gives us all the geopolitical analysis we can shake a stick at.
He's the Senior Counsel to the President of the Heritage Foundation, Colonel Dr. Jim Carafano.
Jim, what...
I've got to ask you, devoid of politics, your reaction to seeing it's now 23 states, 45 campuses, hundreds of arrests, American citizens in Ivy League colleges saying, you know, death to America, from the river to the sea, ripping down the American flag and then putting the Palestinian or the Hamas flag instead of it?
Yeah, so I think the most useful thing I can add is, as a kid who lived through the 60s, and people say, oh my God, it's the 60s all over again.
This is not the 60s.
Why?
The anti-war movement in the 60s was largely organic.
It was from socialists, communists.
It actually started in anthropology departments, who were actually the leaders of this movement.
But it was, you know, it was the Port Huron kids.
I mean, so it was relatively organic.
They were mimicking the civil rights movement, and it was all about one thing.
Vietnam.
No, it was all about the draft.
Well, getting out of Vietnam.
Because if you actually look, as soon as they ended the draft, the anti-war movement completely dissipated.
We didn't leave Vietnam until 1975.
So, this is not that.
This is top-down.
This is billions of dollars.
Coming from all kinds of places, with professional, organized agitators, crisis actors, a lot of people on the campuses who, because we've looked at the cell phone data, who aren't even students, they're not even from the state.
And millions of dollars.
Flying in, right.
So this is a top-down structure.
So what does that mean?
Well, it's organized political violence and intimidation and crime.
And what does this remind you of?
Gee, it sounds to me exactly like Black Lives Matter because it's the same structures and institutions.
It's like literally, I just have this vision.
Honey, honey, all I have is my Black Lives Matter t-shirt.
Where's my I hate the Jew t-shirt, right?
I got a, this is a different rally, sweetheart.
Right, right.
The latest thing.
It's called the latest thing.
Exactly.
Talking of the 1960s, I'm going to embarrass him now.
This is a photograph this man posted.
We had this discussion last week, what shorts should look like.
This is what shorts should look like.
They should be like eight, nine inches above the knee.
What a handsome group of young men.
And who's that standing next to you in front of that?
What is that car?
That's my first car, that's my MGV, and it's the 1970s.
MG, cool!
And that's my dad.
Who was a police officer, right?
Right, Korean War veteran, yeah, and those are his boys.
You actually look pretty handsome once.
All I can tell you is nobody, well you know my dad's gone by, but nobody in that picture has 20% of the hair.
Yeah, the phonically challenged.
Talking of good photographs, we've got the one from UNC Chapel Hill that Eric found.
I'm in touch with the guy who posted it with the student.
I just love this.
It's not Iwo Jima, but these kids making sure the American stars and stripes didn't touch the ground, wasn't ripped down.
Isn't that a beautiful sight, Jim?
See, this is the difference.
If you look at the counter-movement, which actually, if you look at the number of people that have gone to the streets, the total number, pro-Israel, pro-America, they actually dwarfed the number of... Really?
Yes!
And so, for example, last week at Columbia, the single largest rally, thousands of people were Christians who came out to pray for Israel and the Jews.
So why isn't that in the media?
I didn't know that.
So next week, I think it's Wednesday, Or maybe Tuesday, the 7th, in L.A.
at the USC campus.
There's a guy that organizes this, it's Luke Moon, it's the Philos Project, and basically they spontaneously reach out to, and interesting, the largest group coming is not the combating anti-Zionism group, it's actually the Christian faith prayer groups that show up.
But, so these rallies, that last one, and the one next week, which will be thousands of people, people should go.
Yeah.
What is that organization?
It's called the Philos Project.
The Philos Project, P-H.
P-H-I-L-O-S.
But it's literally, they just say, people should come and pray with us.
Right.
And so there's not billions, there's no George Soros money, there's not billions of dollars.
This is truly organic.
This is not, yes, there's no Hamas funding, you know, billionaires funding this.
This is just people showing up.
And the interesting thing was, and why I think this rally will be bigger than the last one is, how many people like called and said, oh my God, I'm sorry I wasn't there?
Or they said, nobody called me, like nobody told me.
The Christian groups are saying, nobody said go to the streets.
You know, after October 7th, nobody called us and said, if we don't stand up, this won't happen.
So what you saw with that picture with those kids?
That is, I don't want to use, you don't remember the silent majority, which there actually was.
In the 1960s, it actually turned out that more people hated the radical agenda than liked it.
And when they actually went to the voting booth after all the rioting and protesting, they voted for the guy that represented the opposite of that.
Law and order.
Well, this, I think, is what you see in that picture.
That is most of America.
It's not the Gaza Free Zones.
It's not the guys wearing their COVID masks so you can't see who they are.
Most people are completely angered and fed up and embarrassed and humiliated by this stuff.
And they want none of it.
They don't want it for their children.
They don't want it for Americans.
They don't want people to see America in that light.
Let's put one more photograph up.
This is kind of, and it's radio, but guys, we also broadcast on television.
The photograph from the firehouse.
Whether it's Jim and his family back in the 1970s, whether it's those frat brothers in Chapel Hill, or whether it's President Trump in that firehouse yesterday.
That's the real America.
The people who love America.
We're talking to Jim Carufano.
Follow him on Twitter, JJ Carufano.
Join the Heritage Foundation, heritage.org.
And give me a follow on social media as well, Seb Gawker and my substag, sebastiangawker.com.
We'll be back in a moment.
He was a paramedic, then he became a fireman, then he retired from the fire department,
then he went to seminary.
He did that for a little bit, and then he went into teaching, and he taught at a charter school in Florida, and then he ran the STEM program in Duval County, and now he is the science coordinator for the U.S.
Air Force.
What's that?
So it's the Air Force's STEM program, where they work with high schools.
Wow.
So, uh, and then my baby brother... So he got the brains?
No.
My baby brother is a cop.
He was a cop.
Oh yeah?
Where?
When he went in the army, then he became a cop.
He was in Montgomery County.
Then he moved down to Melbourne.
He was a cop down there.
And then he retired.
And his son went to the Naval Academy.
He was a Marine.
So yeah.
Very cool.
My baby brother is really interesting.
It's funny.
They homeschooled all their kids.
They just graduated the last one.
It's the fifth one.
And I was laughing.
I said, you know, you've graduated more students than the state of Indiana.
But he was voted most likely to be incarcerated.
He was the crazy, wild... The kid brother?
Yeah, he even stole his brother's car, wrecked it, and then just came home and his brother goes, where's my car?
And he's like... And he married this terrific girl and then he just became this kind of unbelievable, you know, devout Christian guy.
So yeah, Dad would have been proud.
Very cool.
Alright, I just sent that to Jeff.
I don't know if we can get that in time.
Actually, Ellie tweeted this, which is true.
This is back in the 60s, right?
Who loved the Jews, right?
It was the artsy, long-haired... Now, who's protecting the Jews?
The frat boys.
She did that?
She tweeted that?
That's good.
That's good.
It's true, though.
Yeah, let's talk about that.
Let's talk about that.
Yeah.
I'll just play off my phone.
Yeah.
We came through the night, and our flag was still there.
Oh, say does that star-spangled banner yet wave O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave?
All right, they may need a little bit of practice.
They may need, you know, something to tune them up first in the musical sense.
But that is a beautiful sight on one of the college campuses.
To the point Jim made, there's a tiny little coterie of pro-Hamas, pro-Ghazan lunatics surrounded by hundreds of students who drown out their jihadi chants With the National Anthem, a beautiful sight to see.
The good guys outnumber the loonies.
It's Friday, Second Amendment Friday.
I want to say thank you to Justin Moon, the CEO of Carr Firearms.
No other gun company understands how the number one, the first civil right, is the Second Amendment.
Because without that, you don't have any other civil rights.
They understand that you can vote yourself into communism, but you need to shoot yourself out of communism.
Check out their amazing line of weapons at KAHR.com.
Justin's family escaped Korea during the war and they understand what persecution, political persecution, really is.
Check out their line of weapons that includes a Desert Eagle and the Auto Ordnance line of weapons, the Tommy Gun, the M1, and the 1911.
We'll be announcing a very special Magnum weapon in the coming weeks.
Stay tuned.
In the meantime, go to KAHR.com.
That's KAHR.com.
We, you know, don't need to coordinate discussions here on American First with you because we've known each other so long.
If you'll indulge me, well it is kind of national security because there are ramifications, but I want to talk more conservative issues because you are from the Heritage Foundation.
You said something really hilarious in the break from a friend of ours who posted something rather ironic in comparison to the 60s and today.
Would you share that with all of our listeners?
It's true.
I mean, talk about how we've changed the country.
You know, in the 1960s, if you went on a campus, who protected the Jews?
You know, it was the long-haired, leftist freaks.
Right.
The hippies.
The Jesus Christ superstar guys, right?
Right.
So who's protecting the Jews today?
Like, frat boys.
The frat boys.
So what does that mean with regards to the way the political landscape and the conservative movement has matured?
Because I look at CPAC, for example, and I've been going to them for, what, a decade at least.
Ten years ago, if there was anybody under the age of 40, they looked like Tucker Carlson in a blazer and a bow tie.
You've got a CPAC today and MATCHLAB has made it this completely heterogeneous, eclectic representation of America.
Something's happened to the conservative movement, hasn't it?
Yeah, absolutely.
And I saw the same thing and Nat Kahn saw the same thing at CPAC Hungary.
So this is super easy to explain.
And it's explainable why would a leftist in the 60s be hugging Jews and today be chanting for their death.
Explain it.
And it's the difference between the modern progressive movement and the modern conservative movement.
The modern progressive movement is about orthodoxy.
It's about creating a narrative to which we all must adhere to so we can maximize our power and allegiance to the people that are established in the orchid.
No dissension.
So it is top-down, which I know it sounds a lot like communist and socialist dogma.
That's how it was structured.
It was a narrative that is then imposed on people and you are acceptable by embracing the narrative, right?
And you must not question.
Right.
And that actually is, by the way, that is old-fashioned populism.
Because the old populism of the 20th century was these figures who were popular, and then it was, you would do what they said.
Doctrinaire.
Right, yes.
So, you know, Hitler was a leader, and the populism was, the people would obey the leader, right?
Modern conservatism and really modern populism is the opposite of that.
It is bottom-up.
It's, we want the people that are running government to do what we want.
And conservatism is not an orthodoxy.
As a matter of fact, the reason why you go to these things like CPAC and it's a bit of a Disneyland is people have different ideas on marriage, on faith.
And there's no script.
Right.
And the virtue that they bring to the table is by debating ideas, And with a common goal of how do we achieve human prosperity, that's how we develop policy.
By arguing, by debating, by challenging, by saying who can deliver for the American people?
Who can do what everyday Americans want?
And so the difference between a conservative and a progressive is progressive Dogma is top-down.
Conservative activism is bottom-up.
And that's why it's cool to be a conservative now.
It is.
And why the counterculture kids are us.
That's actually true.
I love this.
The frat boys defending the Jews and now the cool kids are the conservatives.
That was fun.
You need to follow this guy at JJ Carrafano on Twitter and join the cool kids!
You want to be cool, right?
Heritage.org.
It sounds maybe a tad counterintuitive, but thanks to Kevin Roberts and people like Jim, we're the cool kids now.
Let's put Team Carafano up on again.
That photograph was just superb.
We need that photograph up again.
Because if you want to be that cool and wear shorts that short, become a conservative.

I thank the good Lord that for the time being we remain the freest nation on God's green earth.
Why?
Because of the first Right.
The first civil right.
The second amendment that makes all the other civil rights possible.
No other company understands that better than the Carr Firearms Group, led by our good friend Justin Moon.
They understand that you are the final guarantor against tyranny.
They stand with us and all Americans who appreciate we have that right for a very special reason.
Support them by checking out their amazing products.
There's a reason I carry a 9mm car every single day at KAHR.com.
They also have the Desert Eagle line of weapons.
We will be announcing a very special MAGA Desert Eagle in the not-too-distant future, so stay tuned every Friday.
But they also have the Inter Ordnance line of historic American weapons, including the M1 Carbine, the venerable Tommy Gun, and the legendary 1911.
Alright, to introduce our guest, let's play a card.
It's my absolute honor to be in Congress, but I serve with some real scumbags.
Look, Matt Gaetz, he paid minors to have sex with him at drug parties.
Bob Goode endorsed my opponent, a known neo-Nazi.
These people used to walk around with white hoods at night, now they're walking around with white hoods in the daytime.
Eric, who is that lunatic?
That is professional scumbag, Rhino.
Tony Gonzalez, Congressman from the 23rd District of Texas.
Did he just say that Matt Gaetz, who we love, is a pedophile?
In the span of 20 seconds, he insulted Matt Gaetz, Bob Good, and another really solid conservative who's probably on his way to Congress by the end of this month.
Did he say about that solid conservative that he wears a KKK hood?
He said that Bob Goode wears a KKK hood, but no, this solid conservative has the distinct honor, quote-unquote, of being a neo-Nazi, according to that rhino.
Well, we should ask him.
What do you think?
Yeah, let's see if we can get him on real quick.
Hey, Brandon Herrera!
Are you there?
I am, in fact.
And apparently, I'm a known neo-Nazi.
Known to who?
I'm not really sure.
It's so weird.
They keep talking about these neo-Nazis.
I've never seen one except the Lincoln Project meat puppets.
But I see a stinking lot of left-wing, racist, CRT mongers, jihadi lovers all across American campuses.
It sounds to me like your opponent in this primary is... Can I say this on radio, Eric?
You're gonna have to beat me up.
Is he crapping his pants?
I feel like I have to ask him, you know, is the Neo-Nazi... Are the Neo-Nazis in the room with us now?
No, no, you have to show him a little doll and say, show me on the doll where the Neo-Nazi hurt you.
It's so ridiculous.
Honestly, that CNN interview really was him saying the quiet part out loud.
Because that, I mean, if he wanted to lose the election, that interview is how he did it.
because he, as somebody who's already lost the support of a lot of the conservative part of the Republican Party,
just went on TV and basically declared open civil war between the establishment, uniparty Republicans
and the actual conservatives, the Freedom Caucus guys, the Matt Gaetz, you know, me.
And I don't think that's gonna go the way he wants, especially in a runoff where the people who vote
are the people that are, they lean much more conservative.
They're the people that follow the...
Let's talk about who this person is.
We're talking to Brandon Herrera.
He's the AK guy.
I've loved his stuff on YouTube ever since I found out that he has one of the best channels out there.
You are a champion for the Second Amendment.
You're a dyed-in-the-wool conservative.
You grew up around the operators of Fort Bragg.
Tell us a little bit about this other chap.
Well, unfortunately, the reason I started paying so close attention to his voting record is because he's my congressman, and very soon into his first term, relatively, he voted with Joe Biden and Nancy Pelosi on a gun control bill, which really took me off guard.
Hang on, hang on.
But hang on, he's a Republican, right?
Oh yeah, well, he's supposedly a Republican.
So here's this conservative Republican who's supposed to be, you know, fighting for Texas values and conservative liberty-minded values.
And he's voting with the Democrats on gun control.
And a lot of his other votes reflected that as well.
Why is he going on CNN?
I went on CNN when I worked in the Trump White House to destroy them and these are the clips that people when they meet me Bring up seven years later, like, oh, I can't get enough of when you destroyed Anderson Cooper and Chris Cuomo.
He's going on there like he's hanging out with his old buddies.
Why is Tony Gonzalez on CNN, Brandon?
Well, it's a little odd.
Tony has a lot of friends in the liberal media.
Every time he decides to come out with a new hit piece, slam piece against me, all of a sudden he's got four or five of the same liberal news outlets repeating the same story.
It's almost like it's coordinated.
But I'll just tell you this, if the liberal media is attacking One Republican over the other in a race with two Republicans in it?
I think that tells you everything you need to know.
Oh, I think we're gonna end the interview there.
If the mainstream lying legacy media that hates President Trump is attacking the other candidate and not Gonzalez, then you vote for Brandon Herrera.
That's patriot math.
I've just invented it.
It's called patriot math.
The website is BrandonHerreraForCongress.com, Texas' 23rd district.
If I lived there, he'd have my vote.
If I were a Democrat, he'd have three of my votes, but we don't do that.
It is the AKGuy on Twitter, the AKGuy on YouTube.
For those who've just caught you for the first time, if you win, God willing, what are you going to do in Washington, D.C., and how close are you, and can I help you with regards to getting an endorsement from somebody who lives in an estate that allegedly costs just $18 million?
Well, anything you can do, obviously, we appreciate.
We need all the support we can get in this race, because it is all hands on deck.
Because he's calling in the support of the Speaker of the House to come campaign for him in a primary.
The guy's not in good shape, but he's got $4 million and the entire establishment behind him.
I think that's the reason why, again, as to what we're going to do.
I think that's why the Uniparty is really rallying behind him, because they're afraid of somebody like me getting in.
They're afraid of somebody who's not there to rub elbows.
Give us your two biggest priorities as a congressman.
So number one is going to be obviously for this district, it has to be closing the border.
We need to get the border under control and that requires somebody who's going to fight with Republicans to actually get good border policy instead of fighting against them like Tony's done with Chip Roy and others.
Another priority is definitely going to be getting this spending situation under control.
One of the biggest threats to national security right now, I'm sure you probably preach this all day long, is we can't continue to pay for things we don't need with money borrowed from our enemies.
We need to get single-subject spending bills.
We need to get this reined in.
Eric, this is the Second Amendment Friday segment and I don't need an excuse because it's Brandon Herrera, the AK guy.
Don't you think since we're like a couple of weeks out we should have him back on a regular day just to talk politics?
Absolutely.
Especially considering this is one of the most important primaries in the country.
His presence is essential.
And then we send the clip to Mar-a-Lago.
I like it.
In the meantime, Brandon Herrera for Congress.com.
Brandon Herrera for Congress.com.

You're welcome.
Thank you.
Bye.
But that idealism, that you still have the idealism, I guess, is what I'm asking.
The idealism?
Uh, I mean... I'll tell you why I asked.
It's because you say that the American Dream hasn't always been for everybody.
It never was always for everybody.
It was for white, landowning men, originally.
Look at that.
And it's only through idealism that it's expanded to other communities.
Where were you when I was 19 to tell me this stuff?
I was auditioning for the white guy parts.
How much do they hate our country?
That's supposed to be a late night comedy show.
That the American dream is only for white men, former land owners?
Really?
Is that why every year until Biden, we allowed a million immigrants into this country?
Is that why?
And if you don't believe me, look it up.
People windsurfed from communist Cuba across shark infested waters to Florida.
Is that why people risk life and limb with their children, through the desert, over ravines, crossing rivers, to come to America?
What other nation, name me one nation in the world, that is a magnet for every other country, especially for those who suffer under communist dictatorship?
Why is that, Stephen Colbert?
Why do you hate America when everyone else, especially brown-skinned people, love it so much they'll risk everything, even endanger their children's lives, to cross the border?
You're filth, Stephen Colbert.
I know you hate America because you hate yourself.
You're a godless, unrepentant, secular, God-hating, America-hating nobody.
But America sees through you.
The faces of those firefighters in Manhattan yesterday.
The little black kid in Harlem who started the chant, We Love You Trump.
They're worth more than a thousand Stephen Colberts.
More than a million Stephen Colberts.
Because they know what America is.
They believe in America.
And they love America.
You will die alone.
Hate-filled.
Full of bile and pus.
Because your fuel is hatred.
Our fuel is love.
Love of everything that is good.
Country, family, and God.
I pity you.
You are nothing.
God bless America.
Wow, that got heavy quick.

joints in all the towns in all the world, she walks in a mine.
Impressive.
Most impressive.
See things you people wouldn't believe.
See things you people wouldn't believe.
Talk to God.
That's how you do it.
Let's go see him together.
Anything you want?
Yes.
Nice hot bath.
What was that?
Can't say.
What do you make of it, Rihanna?
Maybe a hyena, Bonner.
Maybe.
Well, come on.
That was a human cry.
Human?
Human, yes.
Or is it?
Lord Greystoke!
Tarzan, the ape man from the pre-Hays Code 1932 movie.
Tarzan with Johnny Weissmuller.
Jane with her father the Explorer in the African bush hearing for the first time that iconic shout that would lead to six movies starring Johnny Weissmuller
as the Ape Man.
I'm so excited about this review. I hope my co-host is too.
He's Mr. Reagan. He's the Alpha Critic! He's Chris Coles.
Chris, have you seen Tarzan the Ape Man before?
I had never seen this film and let me say I did actually watch my fair share of Tarzan
productions whilst growing up.
I remember, I mean, I'm talking about like age three, four, five, because it was always on TV.
But I could never tell you what they were, if they were the serials, if they were the films.
I don't know, because I was a little kid, and they were all black and white.
And in doing my research for this project, I realized there's like an infinite number of Tarzans.
There's like Tarzan Like, I don't know what the deal is with Tarzan, but Hollywood, for just generation after generation after generation, just everybody loves Tarzan.
And I think I know why, and we can discuss that shortly.
Oh, absolutely.
Yeah, if you look into the very... I think I know why there are infinite varieties, comic books, TV shows, movies.
Buster Crabb, who played Flash Gordon, even he was roped in at the same time to be in Tarzan movies.
Why?
Because the author, Edgar Rice Burroughs, who penned this back in I think 1912 originally, who is a rather unusual chap.
We'll talk about him as well as we go through.
There he is, Edgar Rice Burroughs.
He was just a bloody canny businessman.
At one time, he was counted as the richest author to sell the rights to his books to be made into movies and TV show.
So, Edgar Rice Burroughs, super good businessman, and as a result, we have a plethora.
I think, Eric, was it Disney that made the cartoon one with Phil Collins?
Yes, that was indeed in the Disney Renaissance.
Which is, you know, a classic for my son.
My son loves that movie.
He's like this, you know, D1 Ironman athlete today who can still sing you every song in that Disney movie.
For me, Chris, this This movie and the five sequels with, you know, the son of Tarzan and Tarzan and Jane, the mate of Tarzan, this is my childhood.
And it is my father's childhood.
When this came out, my dad was just two years old.
He watched these in Hungary as a young kid.
And then, of course, they'd play, you know, on TV in England in the 70s.
He was besotted with Johnny Weissmuller.
I worked out why as I was researching today's review.
And as a result, I'd watched these with my dad, who is also an athlete as well.
So, first things first, up front, I'm not going to wait an hour.
Did you like this movie, Chris Coles?
I absolutely loved every second of it.
Even the dopey looking apes, even the cheesy looking crocodiles.
I loved every second of it.
And I'll tell you why.
There is something absolutely charming, and I've said this before, About people on a set, filmmakers on a set, everybody involved in the filmmaking process, who are doing their very absolute best.
Because even though, you know, some of the effects that you're seeing in this project are incredibly primitive compared to today, you can tell that the effects that they were trying to produce for the time were really the best they could do.
And they were, you know, to me it was very precise.
Sure, some of the things don't look so precise to our eyes, like I said, the apes and the crocodiles and some of the stuff like that.
But it was, you can tell that a lot of care was taken to produce this thing.
And it does produce something.
It's art, you know, it produces something artistic, creative, an expression of an idea of a story that really works really, really well.
But first, I want to take a quick sidestep Your son had a pretty successful athletic achievement recently, did he not?
You are so very, very kind.
I actually did a tribute to him.
It's going to air on Newsmax on Sunday for the close of the show.
He did something that I don't know how you humanly do.
He did an Ironman.
We were in Texas in the 93 degree heat last weekend.
And for those of you who aren't aware what an Ironman is, I think we have some images of Paul.
You swim 2.4 miles.
Then you get on a bicycle and you ride 112 miles.
Then you jump off your, you're all doing this in one day, by the way.
And then you jump off the bicycle.
And you wrap it all up by doing what by running a marathon, which is of course, what is 26.2 miles.
So my son who'd never done it before trained for Four months.
He was a rower in college.
The training consisted of, you know, I'd come home from work and he'd say to me, Dad, I'm just getting on the bicycle for four hours.
I'll see you later.
So that's what he did.
And it was just a testament to, there he is with his medal after 14 hours of nonstop activity.
That's him in Houston, competitor 735.
And I just, this is, thank you for bringing this up, Chris.
It's just a testament to the human spirit.
I could tell because we were there with my family, his sister and his amazing girlfriend.
And we've been following him all day and cheering him on.
And he's just finished 112 miles on the bicycle.
And he starts the marathon.
And I'm there for mile four of the marathon.
And I look at him and we're cheering him and you wave, you shake cowbells.
This is the tradition for Ironman.
And I could tell he's been smiling all day.
he's not smiling now he he doesn't he's really running slowly what's going on and then afterwards as he crossed the finishing line and literally collapsed he explained to me My quads, after 112 miles on the bicycle, seized four miles into the marathon.
And he said to himself, I don't know if I can run another 22 miles.
My quad muscles, the biggest muscle in the body, isn't functioning.
And he just said, I'm going to do this.
I'm going to do this for my grandfather.
That great athlete, and I'm going to do this to prove to myself that I can do it.
So for me, I celebrated him on my Newsmax show, and I celebrated him in the context of, you know what that is?
That's not about Paul Gorka.
That's not even about Team Gorka or my son.
That's about the American spirit.
That is about the capacity to apply, to commit, and to do, and to finish.
So it's incredibly gracious of you to mention that.
Yeah, he's an Ironman.
I could never have done it, but it is the spirit of America.
And it kind of, you know, wends through this as well.
We'll talk about who Johnny Weissmuller was and how he actually had five gold medals from the Olympics, 27 national records, 150 international records.
And he created that roar, and he created thee.
Of all the various permutations of Edgar Rice Burroughs' original Lord Greystoke, he is the quintessential one.
We are talking the original Tarzan the Ape Man, 1932, with our buddy Chris Coles.
Make sure you are following him right now on his superlative YouTube channels, Mr. Reagan, for political content and cultural content under the Alpha Critic as well.

Father, you still haven't told me about the Moutier Escarpment.
Well, do you remember my telling you a fairy tale about the elephants?
Mm-hmm.
Hundreds.
Which one?
The one about why one never finds a dead elephant in the jungle.
Oh, let me think.
Why, of course.
I remember.
An elephant can always tell when death is coming for him.
And when he hears the call, there's a secret place to which he wanders.
A place where he can lay his bones with his ancestors.
A place of rest.
That's it.
The secret graveyard of the elephants.
Somewhere to the east, there's a mysterious barrier of mountains called the Moutier Escarpment.
And the natives won't say where that Moutier Escarpment is.
It's sacred.
Taboo.
If one of them is found even to have looked at it, he's put to death by the witchmen of the tribe.
Now, Holt and I believe that beyond that Moutier Escarpment somewhere lies the burial place of the elephants.
The one of my favorite words, escarpment.
That is of course Jane's father, the famous African explorer.
Jane of course played by the great Maureen O'Sullivan and giving us the premise for why are they in Africa.
They're looking for the fabled elephant's graveyard with Millions of pounds worth of ivory just waiting to be discovered.
Chris, I think, and tell me, you know, you're the writer, you're the actor.
Some of the movies that we review have a common thread insofar as they just have one central concept that nobody else has come up with and is just simple and bloody genius.
And here, what does Edgar Rice Burroughs come up with?
A human who's been dropped in the midst of a jungle and raised by the apes and then he's discovered by quote-unquote civilized humans.
The simplicity of the story I think is half the success, is it not?
When you find that truly novel concept.
Absolutely right.
Half the success is exactly right.
The other half is obviously the implementation.
You've got to bring everybody on board to really produce a great quality product as we always talk about on the show.
But yeah, that concept, that very simple concept, that's one thing whilst I was watching this film that did come to mind.
It's like, this is a very simple story.
And there's actually this other story, the clip that you just showed, looking for, oh, there's a great special effect when he falls off the cliff here.
Fantastic for the time.
I know the radio listeners can't see it, but absolutely great effect.
I remember watching that going, wow, that looks pretty good.
Like, you know, I believe that this guy's falling off the cliff.
Yeah, that concept was so simple, but so brilliant.
Obviously, there was Tarzan iterations before this.
There was the novel, and even before that, it started as a short story, and there was a novel and a collection of the short stories, and then there was other films.
So it was in the public consciousness before this, this concept, and people loved it.
People thought this was a really fantastic idea.
And also, I really liked the clip that you showed looking for the elephant graveyard.
I love that motivation.
Yeah.
I love that motivation for going to Africa.
I mean, to me, that's a totally believable thing, right?
I looked up elephant graveyards.
Apparently, it's a myth.
That's not a real thing.
But for a long time, this was believed.
But it's so believable.
Oh, totally believable.
I mean, I looked it up thinking, is this true?
Like, I believed it watching the film.
And by the way, I see Aubrey Smith, who plays the, you know, the elder gentleman, Jane's father.
Fantastic actor, totally underrated.
One of my favorite actors of all time.
He was in a film called Little Lord Fauntleroy.
Yes!
Which was an absolutely brilliant film.
Very old.
It sort of was redone as Pollyanna.
Pollyanna, they were both novels that were made into films.
But Pollyanna is sort of the female version of Little Lord Fauntleroy.
But both excellent movies about an eternal optimist.
But anyway, C. Aubrey Smith plays the curmudgeon-y old man.
In that film.
But in this film, he's a much more kind gentleman and fantastic, just a fantastic actor.
Brilliant all the way through.
And anyway, so he wants to find this ivory.
He believes that he could essentially be, you know, the 1932 version of Elon Musk if he could just find this elephant graveyard back when you could trade ivory and it was worth like a lot of money.
You know, it was a reasonable thing to do.
And so, yeah, they're out there and they have that great motivation.
And then, of course, they hear the famous yell.
And there is this, you know, ape man, you know, swinging through the jungle.
And he says, you know, something like, and he's white as well.
He's a white man as well or something.
There's a shock.
Like, I don't understand.
He's not even African.
What is he doing here?
Essentially, I do think that this is very sensual love story. I think for the time, you know,
the pre-code time, that and the fact that I think that it took more recent, it took
contemporary filmmaking techniques and revisited the Tarzan thing in a
way that was a little bit cleaner, a little bit better story, you know,
Everything was just clean and well-produced, and I think that's really why this took off more so.
Like you say, this is the quintessential Tarzan.
I think this is probably, for the time, the absolute best-produced Tarzan probably ever.
And then subsequent iterations, sequels and everything like that.
It was obviously a phenomenon at the time and it's still revisited to this day by people like us.
Well and also it is deemed to be the classic Tarzan movie.
But what about this, just the simplicity of the central concept?
Let's leave the elephant graveyard behind.
Just the idea that human being dropped into jungle, raised by the jungle, but becomes this kind of lord of the jungle, and then he meets up with what?
Human civilization.
I mean, that just is a genius concept!
Yeah, it's an exotic idea.
It's an interesting idea.
The best fiction explores an idea that we wouldn't necessarily get to explore if we were just thinking about real life.
You know, if we just watch documentaries.
And this is why I think you and I are a little bit different than many conservatives.
A lot of conservatives, they don't watch fiction.
But you and I, we love fiction.
Because to us, I do think it is an exploration into the human condition.
Uh, even if it is not necessarily what you can find in real life.
I think a lot of people think, oh, you can find everything in real life and examine the psychology and everything.
Sometimes it's fun to go beyond the bounds of reality and explore something.
a little bit different, just to think about how people would act and react to that.
And I think, you know, this is a little bit of an in-depth reading of this, but I do believe, and this is why I brought up your son being such a phenomenal athlete, because, you know, your son could potentially be the modern-day Tarzan.
He could play the next Tarzan.
But, you know, I've been thinking, I talked to you about it, like, what is being cool?
The basis of being cool is athleticism.
If you're an athletic person and you're wearing a suit and tie, you've got that grace, you've got that control over your body, that confidence, that people see that you have control, you have confidence, you're cool.
They can't quite explain it, but it starts with a baseline of athleticism.
And there is this core desire, I think, with almost just about every man, even scrawny, nerdy guys, you know, that everybody wants to be Tarzan.
Everybody wants to be That guy that can jump on a leopard and kill it with his bare hands, you know, to save the girl.
This is the this is the concept of the of the I want to say feminist because it's doing her injustice by today's standards.
But she is a precocious woman.
She wants adventure.
She wants excitement.
She's bold.
She's brave.
So much so that she gets into situations that may be a little bit too dangerous.
And so who comes along but the brave, strong Tarzan.
Maybe he's not the smartest guy in the world, but she is drawn to him through this animal instinct.
He is the alpha male.
The ultimate alpha male, really, Tarzan is.
She even though she's this headstrong woman She turns into the feminine damsel in distress who just
falls into his arms and we see men and women
Sort of in their most fundamental sense as they should be and it's really every man's fantasy and every woman's
fantasy really But we mess it up in society these days. We mess it up.
Yeah, we're gonna explore the deeper themes at moment I'll just add one thing everybody every guy wants to be Tarzan,
but not just because of the the physicality that makes you cool.
It's also the presence.
You can't, it's not just, you know, bench pressing 300.
You've got to have the presence that when you walk into a room, you dominate, right?
That's what it's about.
It's the attitude, not just the physicality of it.
We're talking Tarzan, the ape man, Johnny Weissmuller.
Maureen O'Sullivan, 1932.

Thank you.
Thank you for protecting me.
Me?
I said, thank you for protecting me.
Me.
No.
I'm only me for me.
Me.
No.
To you, I'm you.
You.
No.
I'm...
Understand?
Jane!
Jane If you know anything about Tarzan, you can do the ahhh, you can do the yell, and you can do the me Tarzan, you Jane.
Those are the two things you know about Tarzan.
That quintessential moment from the first big success movie, Johnny Weissmuller with Jane.
I have to make one observation here, given that this is the pre-Hays Code era.
1932.
There's a scene very early on in the movie.
Jane has just met her dad, been reunited in Africa.
We're gonna play it and she's staring at the mirror.
She takes off her blouse and she starts taking off her makeup with some kind of cleanser.
I don't know about you, Chris.
I mean, I know we're deluged with Over sexed things.
Pornography is everywhere.
But for 1932, this pretty, pretty woman staring into the camera, quote unquote, the mirror, with her decolletage rather low.
I thought this was a flipping racy movie, at least for 1932.
You?
1932 you oh 100% actually it occurred to me throughout watching this
Oh, 100%.
film because she is a very sexy woman Yeah.
And it's really just about how she flirts with a man.
Yeah.
Right?
Like, how flirtatious she is.
She's flirtatious with everyone, essentially.
But they show things in this movie that I don't think you would often see in any films.
And the reason they get away with it is because Tarzan is too simple, too primitive.
Yes, he's brutish.
He's too brutish.
Yeah, he doesn't understand the mores of society.
So you can kind of get away with him sort of examining and exploring Jane in a way, and then the two of them having these sorts of little moments that you would have, and I think we've all had with a woman privately, and you know, these little intimate moments where they're just touching each other's hand, even that little moment where they're just touching each other's hands.
And she's like, Oh, yeah, yeah, there's a big difference in size.
Do you like that?
That difference?
You know, this little flirtatious moment.
And it really is reminiscent of like real relationships that you would actually have in real life that I've, you know, moments that I've had with women.
And it's like, wow, they You know, it's really evocative what they were able to create.
And I do think that at the time, this was like borderline pornography is what I was thinking.
I'm not 100% sure about that, but I think it was a bit tantalizing for people at the time.
This was actually made on the heels of another film.
If you watch the trailer for this, I forget what they called it.
I have it here.
But there was a film the year before called Traitor Horn.
Traitor Horn, which sounds like the stupidest name ever for a film, which is probably why it didn't have sequels to it.
But Traitor Horn was the adventures of a real-life African big-game hunter.
He was a guy that went out and he killed elephants for ivory at the time.
He wrote his memoirs.
And they made a film about his life, but they fictionalized it.
So but it was similar to Tarzan and that there's a lot of footage of wild animals and stuff like this and then they go into the jungle and there is a wild white woman in the jungle but she's quite she's like evil and she's like she she's the queen of this tribe of Africans and then there's of course a romance and everything but she dresses in these very scantily clad outfits and that was a hugely successful film.
We've never heard of it to this day because you know obviously it's been eclipsed by Tarzan but that was the impetus and it was Directed by exactly the same director, the same director that did this film and Thin Man.
And they said, that was so good.
Why don't we have you do something else similar?
Let's have you do Tarzan.
And one thing that I thought was interesting is that I always had assumed anytime you see Jane in that sort of torn up dress, you assume that it's been because of the ravages of the jungle.
But if you watch the film, it's because she's been tearing bits off of it to use as bandages for Tarzan.
So that's why she sort of looks You know, her dress is all torn up in the film.
And then not to mention that whole... It's not racy, but it's definitely sensual, is that, you know, they have to have scenes of Tarzan in the water, because, of course, the actor Johnny Weissmuller was a five-time Olympic gold medalist.
He was the fastest swimmer in the world at that time.
And so when he's kind of swimming through the water, holding Jane in his arms, she's wearing that diaphanous safari
outfit that has been ripped up, torn.
She's ripping up badges out of it.
She's wet in the water.
And as you say, this is 1932.
It's really quite stunning.
And I think we're finally coming up to the cut I requested, where she has just arrived off the boat or what have you.
She's met her father, the adventurer, Mr. Parker, and then she starts to refresh herself, take off her makeup, looking directly into the camera, her blouses, you know, very low cut blouse.
I don't know really how they got away with this in 1932.
I'm kind of surprised.
Yeah, it's one of the things that probably caused the Hays Code to exist, right?
You know, just films like this, but yeah.
You know what's interesting about this?
They did not cast the most beautiful woman, I think, at the time.
There were other actresses I think were probably a little bit more beautiful.
She is very attractive.
She's a very cute girl.
But she is, like I said, it's the way she talks, the way she acts, the way she moves This is the kind of X factor.
I think every guy kind of knows this, right?
As you're growing up, you see a girl, maybe she's not the prettiest girl in your class, but you're just mesmerized by this girl.
And why?
Just some girls just have that thing, whatever it might be.
And she definitely has it.
And it's, you know, it's displayed, you know, And that's the weird thing.
You don't always need it just to be like, you know, nudity and sex scenes and, you know, this sort of gratuitous nudity and this sort of thing.
You can have something that's a little bit more subtle, a little bit more artful, and it can still sort of evoke the same kind of response where you're just thinking, wow, this girl is unbelievable, you know?
Tarzan, what am I doing here, alone, with you?
Chris, I better not think too much about that.
Just to be here.
Be happy.
And I am happy.
Not a bit afraid.
Not a bit sorry.
It's interesting what you said, Chris.
Because after you kind of skewed me the last time I said that somebody wasn't pretty and you said, of course she is.
But you agreed with me on this one.
Maureen O'Sullivan isn't a knockout stunner but she sells it and it's hard to sell especially here because why?
Johnny Weissmuller who grew up you know amongst the apes doesn't know any English so she's basically talking to a you know a mute who learns a couple of words by the end of the movie but nevertheless They sell this budding romance that leads to her staying in the jungle after they find the elephant's graveyard.
I mean, that's quite a feat.
Yeah, actually, it starts a bit scandalous.
And they even have this scene at the very beginning in the trailer, where when he first sort of kidnaps her, because Tarzan kidnaps Jane.
Yes.
In this movie, anyway, that's how they meet.
Yeah.
He kidnaps her, and he drags her into one of his little tree forts that he's got.
And she thinks that he's going to take advantage of her.
That's very obvious.
She's screaming for him to let her go.
He doesn't take advantage of her.
He just wants to examine her.
She's his curiosity.
This is the way I think we read it, right?
He has this animalistic instinct.
This is something beautiful.
This is something that, for whatever reason, I have this compulsion.
I must have this thing.
Right, but he's never seen a woman.
He's never seen a woman, right, but he has that natural instinct, that impulse, that animalistic impulse that we all have, right?
I think that that is what is so compelling about this very simple concept, is that if you strip all of this sophistication away from men, and you bring us down to this animalistic level, this is what's so exciting about fiction, right?
You explore this idea of what if you strip off all of our All of our, you know, the nonsense, the phony stuff, right?
What do you get?
You get this sort of animalistic guy, but he's still a good man.
He still has a good heart.
He's still gentle with her.
And what happens is that she doesn't want to leave him.
Once she's with him long enough, she's found again by the party.
She doesn't want to run off to the party.
She starts crying, telling him, I have to leave you.
This is my father.
He loves me, but I don't want to.
And they're having a lot of fun, like you said, in the water.
They're swimming together and she says something like, you know, I find you very attractive.
And then she pauses and kind of laughs at herself.
And she says, I love I love being able to tell him, you know, talk to a man who doesn't understand anything I say.
Right.
Because, you know, a woman would just not have said something like that in in normal society.
But there she can.
And that's the thing.
They could be more honest with each other.
And I think that's what they were kind of exploring with this film.
And with the concept of Tarzan generally, it's like, Strip us from all of the phoniness, and maybe this is what you get.
And that's something I think we can all like.
Yeah, no, absolutely.
And taking us back to a kind of simplicity in the relationship between men and women.
He got to say about six words in a rather long movie, an hour 40, which was unusual for the 1930s.
So let's find out a little bit about this man, Johnny Weissmuller, and who he was before he became Tarzan.
For Johnny, a well-built teenager, the temptation to be recruited as a small-time hoodlum lay no further than the next street corner.
But by good fortune, Johnny took a job at the Illinois Athletic Club, where his extraordinary swimming talent was discovered by coach Bacharach.
Their partnership proved to be the turning point in the life of the poor kid from the Chicago streets.
A few years later, sports writers vote Weissmuller as one of the most promising American athletes of his day.
They dub him the American Hurricane and marvel at his unique style.
Weissmuller's head above the water defies all the accepted techniques of swimming.
That young man, who I now know why my dad was such a fan of his, was actually, may have grown up in Chicago, was born in Hungary, was born in the Austro-Hungarian Empire.
Johnny Johann Peter Weissmuller, ethnic German, born in what is today Romania, became a five-time gold Olympian.
Saved 70 plus people in his life as a, you know, swimming rock star and became Tarzan, a man who did all of that.
If you watch, if you're watching us, swam in a very unusual style with his thorax and his head above the water, which should have slowed him down, but for some reason He is breaking a world record in one of his early races.
Your thoughts on the man who didn't get much to say, but man, did he look good while he was swinging through the jungle.
Yeah.
Yeah.
You know, like I was watching a little behind the scenes thing, a little documentary thing about this, and the narrator proposed an interesting idea.
He said that almost all the people who played Tarzan They weren't actors.
They were athletes.
And what made that possible was that there was just no dialogue.
It just had to be physically strong.
And the feats of strength of these actors was just phenomenal.
Weissmuller, I think, was lucky for a couple of reasons.
One, uh, you know, he's a good looking guy.
He's, he's, uh, he's a good swimmer.
Like you said, he's got a physique that, but I think that's probably true of most of the Tarzan actors.
Uh, he's got a physique that most men want.
We want that physique, you know what I mean?
And if you're to see a guy like that in the gym or in real life, you're probably going to hate him a little bit because you think, damn, that guy looks better than me.
That's annoying.
That's annoying.
I, by the way, I identify as a 22 year old male model.
So, you know, if you if you disagree with that, then you're being a model phobe.
Yeah, that's right.
That's right.
That's right.
I'm trans handsome.
But if it's a movie, it's on the screen, we're not really competing with that guy, right?
That guy is a fiction.
And so instead of hating him, we aspire to be like him.
And that is the simple formula for this to work, I think.
It's similar to Bond, right?
We see Bond.
And we see him in these exotic locations doing this cool stuff.
And we like him.
And he's got the girl.
And we want that girl.
Right.
Same as Tarzan.
He's in the jungle.
He's doing this exotic stuff.
These feats of strength we cannot possibly do.
And he's got the girl.
We want the girl.
We want the exotic location.
We want that physique.
We want to be that guy.
Same as Superman.
You know, all these characters.
I don't even know if you can make a good Tarzan movie these days.
I know they tried to.
I don't know how well it came out.
Margot Robbie was in it.
But I never saw it, but it's this kind of simple storytelling.
I think we've kind of lost it in the modern age, which is why we do this show, Making Movies Great Again.
But I love that.
And this movie, by the way, had a lot of fun, really, from beginning to end.
There was always something fun going on, something interesting.
The chimpanzee cheetah, the moment that he comes back to life, I could just imagine The audience in the theaters standing up and cheering because Cheetah made it, you know?
There's all these great moments in this movie and, like, I was watching this movie incrementally because I started watching it earlier in the day.
I knew I had to do Newsmax and I had to do this and then I have to do my show and then I have something with Daisy Cousins later on.
So I have all this stuff going on.
I knew that and I had to do my Muay Thai training and I knew I had to start watching early today.
Okay, stop.
I know you're an incredibly busy man.
I know.
Thank you.
The point I'm trying to make is, I knew I would have to watch it.
If I was going to watch it today, I knew I'd have to watch it in segments, which I didn't care that much about.
I thought, I'll get through it.
It'll be fine.
I never wanted to stop watching.
Every time I would, I would have to... Those are the movies we reviewed, right?
Those are the movies we reviewed.
Right.
Not the ones you can be on your phone, or you get bored.
And by the way, you may make fun of some of the special effects, but you've got to give it to them.
They're wrestling actual lions.
Yes, they'll put a dummy in for the close-ups, but when you're wrestling first a cheetah, then a lioness, and then a lion, that's pretty ballsy.
I don't know who this darn man was, but that's a real lion right there, and a real lion has claws.
So let's hear it for whoever, if it wasn't Johnny, was doubling for Johnny in these incredible... And don't forget the wildebeest.
Oh my gosh, the wildebeest.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Those things are very dangerous.
You see that fight where he's a real man fighting a wildebeest?
What animal kills the most humans every year in Africa?
It's not the tiger.
It's not the lion.
It's not the elephant.
It's the hippos.
Hippos are deadly.
I thought that was smart that they actually put that in as being a very dangerous animal at that time.
I didn't know that it was recognized all the way back then.
We're having too much fun.
Too much fun.
I'm Sebastian Gorka.
This is America First.
I'm coming to you from the ReliefFactor.com studios.
All right, so I've already mentioned this racy footage.
We've got a couple of stills here.
Hold it on this one.
I've got a couple of complaints.
Number one, what daughter calls her dad repeatedly darling?
I don't know if that was a 1930s thing.
I found that a little bit creepy.
And then, of course, we have the shots.
Super racy for me.
I mean, she's staring into the camera, supposed to be a mirror.
Chris, that was pretty hot stuff.
Oh yeah.
Well, you know, she's a good looking girl.
What about the darling thing?
I think it was more of a, you know, a term of endearment at the time.
Nobody calls anyone darling at all anymore, really.
That's true.
I tried it for a while with one of my exes.
Is that after she became your ex?
Oh no.
I just thought it was a cute thing, you know?
Who says that anymore?
I also tried to smoke a pipe at one point.
Yeah, it's never as good as it smells.
Just stick to cigars.
I want to say a couple of words about the author Edgar Rice Burroughs, who I researched for this.
You know when you look at somebody and they may have served in the army, they'll put, you know, branch of service years they were in.
When you look up Edgar Rice Burroughs, just get a grip on this, Chris.
Military service, United States.
Branch, United States Army.
Years of service, 1894 to 1897.
1894 to 1897.
Okay.
1917 to 1919.
And then, a guy who started in the 1800s, last period of service,
1941 to 1945.
He held the ranks of cadet, trooper, major and war correspondent,
and he served in the following campaigns.
The Apache Wars, The First World War.
And the Second World War.
This guy, at the age of 61, after Pearl Harbor, volunteered to join the army again and they made him a war correspondent.
I don't know about Tarzan being a cool dude, how about Edgar Rice Burroughs?
That is pretty cool.
I believe it or not, I was able to guess the second and third service periods.
But the first one I was I had I needed help with the first one.
Okay, the Apache Wars.
Okay, the famous Apache Wars.
That's pretty cool.
And Also, I read that he lived a little while in Oregon, so I'm quite proud of that, that he was a fellow Oregonian for a little while.
There you go.
There you go.
Alright, a little bit of trivia.
What have we got left to note before we rate our movie for today?
The film, we always talk about how much it made.
Cost $600,000.
A lot of money back then, but you know, if you look at the pygmy village invasion by the elephants at the end, that's going to be a little bit expensive.
A lot of small people in blackface.
I think that may be an issue for some modern reviewers.
But it made 2.5 million.
It was a massive worldwide phenomena.
Weissmuller, O'Sullivan became heartthrobs across the world.
And of course it resulted in five sequels with them.
We have a photograph of Tarzan, with Jane, with Cheetah, and the son of Tarzan, Johnny, there.
That was maybe a movie we'll review in the future.
And then you spotted this.
You're a very sly individual.
What's wrong with the elephants in this movie?
I can't believe they actually did this.
They have very weird looking ears because their ears aren't real.
They're like bits of big floppy leather that were stuck on them because they only had Indian elephants available, which, of course, have smaller ears than African elephants.
So they glued fake big ears on the Indian elephant.
Chris, I don't know.
In 1932, I, as the director, would not have been too worried about my viewers saying, is the ear a little large on a little small on that elephant?
I'm not sure I would have been that circumspect.
No, and actually the very first time you see that he's jumping on the elephant.
So my first thought was like, are they trying to hide the harness or something like that was my first thought.
And then I noticed all the elephants had these big fake ears.
And I thought, OK, that can't be it.
Something I'm like, why would they do this?
I thought, ah, they're probably Asian elephants.
And they were Indian elephants, and they wanted to make them look more like African elephants.
They have the bigger ears.
So I figured that out.
There was another little bit of trivia that I mentioned to you and that you confirmed, which was that I don't remember them ever introducing the chimpanzee Cheetah.
I don't remember them ever introducing that name until there's just a scene where Marino Sullivan's being kidnapped with the rest of her party, her father and everybody, by the pygmies, and she screams out to the chimpanzee, cheetah, cheetah, go get Tarzan.
Now, I do expect that because they had a radio show and they had previous iterations of Tarzan before this, that it was probably well established that there was the chimpanzee cheetah, so it wasn't necessary for the audience.
But I did, I was like, wait, they never, they never, we didn't see her learning the name of that Chimpanzee.
Which is a confusing name, because it's a chimp, not a cheetah.
Exactly!
If you didn't know, that would have been very confusing.
The thing that I think was the worst for me, I can excuse the alligators, I can excuse the hippos not looking perfect, although they did look pretty good, actually, the hippos.
The fake ones.
But, you know, the intercutting between the real and the fake was pretty good.
Crocodiles, maybe not so much.
But the The use of both real chimpanzees and humans in chimpanzee costumes at the same time.
Not smart.
That was a little jarring.
Yeah.
That was a little hard to pull off.
Especially when the hoods for the fake ones were really loose.
This wasn't any planet of the apes mask.
I'm sorry.
I mean, it was a guy in a loose fitting hood.
Yeah, it wasn't the highest quality.
Yeah, it wasn't the highest quality.
And then the gorilla at the very end.
I didn't know what it was at first, actually.
It took me a second.
I was like, is this supposed to be some kind of, like, yeti?
I don't understand what this is.
I think it was meant to be King Kong's younger brother or something.
Exactly, yeah.
This was before King Kong, this movie, so this might have helped in the inspiration of King Kong as well.
There's something similar about it, I would say.
All right, so the final thing we have to do is, oh, any final thoughts, and then rank it.
What should our unit of measure be?
I was thinking maybe elephant tusks, unless you have something better.
I love elegant, elephant, elegant.
Elegant elephant tusks.
It's very elegant to use elephant tusks.
Yeah, elegant elephant tusks, because it's so un-PC.
I love it.
I love it.
The lefties are going to hate it.
Look, the problem with this movie Is that I don't know.
It's very difficult to rate this because the way I rate it, like I told, like I say, every week is that I rate it for a modern audience.
What's a younger person who doesn't really know much about Tarzan?
What are they going to think of it?
I actually think this would this is not the easiest film to watch for everyone.
I personally love this to bits.
This to me, honestly, to me personally, this is like 11 out of 10.
I loved every second watching this movie.
But for a modern audience, I think I'm going to have to give it kind of a bad score.
I don't want to, but I think it will be hard for a lot of people.
So I'm going to give it like a, I'll probably give it, I'll probably give it a six out of 10.
Oh, good for you.
Good for you.
If I want to be objective in the panoply of all movies, I'd give it a 9.5.
But because it's so seminal to my childhood and my father's favorite movie, I'm sorry, I'm going to cheat.
It's 10 out of 10.
10 out of 10.
Tarzan the Ape, man!
10 out of 10.
Guys, if you haven't seen it, if you're unfamiliar with Christoph Lambez, Grace Stoke, or the Disney cartoon, Go and see the original one.
Check out Johnny Weissmuller because he is the OG Tarzan.
All right, it's your turn.
Chris, are we coming back into the modern age?
Are we going to stick in the 30s?
What is your choice for making movies great again for next time?
This was actually a tough one for me.
I struggled with this because there are so many movies I want to watch.
And there's so many movies that I'm pretty sure you're going to hate that I love.
And there's so many movies that are fun and there's just different things you could do.
But you know what?
Let's let's just pick one that we're both going to like.
At least I think you're going to like this.
I hope you're going to like this one.
And it's it's considered a kind of a modern classic.
It's a little bit.
I mean, we're going pretty modern for us, for our movies.
We're going pretty modern here.
It's a movie I think that you should like, because I think everybody likes this movie.
It's a little movie called, I'll give you a line and you can guess what it is.
How about that?
Yeah.
Do it.
I didn't kill my wife.
Second line.
I don't care.
I have no idea.
Eric, do you know what that is?
I know exactly what that is.
That is the Harrison Ford, Tommy Lee Jones classic, The Fugitive.
Oh my gosh!
Absolutely right.
Good movie.
Good movie.
Based on a TV show, I do believe.
Love it, love it, love it.
All right.
I'm gonna have to... haven't seen it in a while.
So next week, guys...
