	And so I think it's really important right now to let all of New York know that the Bronx is now MAGA country!
	All through this country, Joe Biden and the crazy Democrats are destroying America.
	All through this country, they are raising prices more than you can afford.
	They are limiting our ability to actually make our own energy here in the United States so we can prosper.
	They leave our borders open and flood all of our cities, including New York City, with migrants who shouldn't be here.
	Who's that man taking back aviators from that senile old man in the White House?
	He was on stage last night with my former boss, President Trump, for just a few seconds.
	He can't be a politician.
	He was so modest.
	I really wanted to be there.
	I was with President Trump in court all day Tuesday, but Bronx, man, that looked like some rally.
	Who was that?
	Was it possibly Congressman Byron Donalds?
	It sounds like him.
	Maybe we should find out if it was.
	Congressman Donalds, welcome back to America First!
	Happy Friday!
	It's good to be back with you, Sebastian.
	Thanks for having me on.
	I gotta say, first up, so that was like the pre-game warm-up.
	Then President Trump called you up on stage, and you just said something like, hey guys, great to see you.
	And then you got off stage again.
	You are so the anti-politician.
	You didn't bogard the mic for like, you know, 10 minutes.
	Tell us about what it was like to be up there, because it looked electric, my friend.
	It didn't look electric.
	It was electric.
	I mean, like I've been to a bunch of Trump rallies.
	Let me first tell you, I've not seen anything like this.
	You just had a great crowd, great energy.
	You know, you had the every man from Bronx, from Brooklyn, from Queens.
	People were there from all over New York just to be supportive of Donald Trump because two things have happened.
	One, they know that when he was president, everybody was better off.
	And then number two, they have seen the disaster of Joe Biden, of Kathy Hochul, of Eric Adams.
	And what the Democrat Party has brought to New York City and really to all of America.
	And so you have these citizens, a lot of them are Democrats, a lot of them are Independents, but they were showing up for Donald Trump because they know that if he's back in the White House, America's gonna be better off and they're gonna be better off.
	Well, he's a true blue maggot.
	He's on the Financial Committee, the Oversight Committee.
	You can follow him right now, Rep.
	Donald's Press.
	Proudly serving the 19th Congressional District in Florida.
	Let's back up what the Congressman has to say from those who were there being interviewed by Fox News.
	People of the Bronx who weren't very impressed with what AOC was saying about them.
	Cut five!
	AOC says if you're not a Democrat, you don't belong here in the Bronx.
	What do you say?
	I disagree with that.
	I don't think she should be here in the Bronx.
	I actually don't know any Democrats living in the Bronx.
	Look, AOC, look at the tremendous support for Mr. Donald J. Trump.
	You need to tell her that she needs to stay out of the Bronx, because look at all the people around.
	Everybody's here for Trump.
	I am a Democrat, and I belong here.
	And who are you voting for?
	Donald J. Trump.
	What has AOC done for the Bronx?
	She's done nothing for the Bronx.
	Nothing.
	Nothing's changed.
	Nothing's gotten any better.
	Nothing.
	Absolutely nothing.
	Let her come to the Bronx and let her come among us people that struggle.
	She doesn't even know what struggle is.
	Congressman Donald, you're in the state of Florida, which functions.
	People run there from Democrat states.
	But you travel the country representing America First, MAGA, the president.
	Can you Can you back up what we were hearing from those residents of the Bronx?
	Because I don't want to tempt fate, but I see whether it's the Hispanic community, the black community, former Democrat, blue collar, there seems to be a tectonic shift out of the Democrat plantation, the political plantation, over to MAGA and the new GOP.
	Are you seeing that as well?
	I think you're seeing the beginnings of it.
	What you're really seeing is there is such disenchantment with what the Democrats have done.
	Sebastian, you know this, you talk about it often, but for the rest of the country, the Democrat Party has lost their mind.
	They are crazy.
	Their policies are crazy.
	The only people that benefit from Democrat policies are people, frankly, who are very, very rich, who can afford the policies, who know the right people to talk to, who can navigate the labyrinth on in DC and in a lot of these states and cities
	that they have negotiated.
	And then also illegal immigrants coming into this country or people who are getting all the handouts.
	And that's not what people want.
	That's not what Americans want.
	What they want is an opportunity for them to use their skills, their intellects, their talents
	to grow for themselves.
	The second big thing that is happening is, is that they're looking for common sense leadership.
	Now, I totally believe that Donald Trump brings that and so does the America First movement,
	but we have a responsibility of taking that message.
	To these voters.
	We just can't assume that because they're upset with the Democrats and they have every right to be upset with the Democrats.
	But we cannot assume that just being upset with Democrats means that they're going to vote for us.
	We got to take this moment, this opportunity to bring our message everywhere and to start moving those voters.
	I mean, just like in the 80s, you had Reagan Democrats.
	It is now time to create Trump Democrats and America First Democrats.
	They are out there.
	But it is our responsibility to bring that message to them so that they can see there's a better way for this country, and that starts with voting for Donald J. Trump.
	Now, we saw you with the president.
	You had his back at the courtroom in Manhattan.
	I was there with the president all day Tuesday.
	You're on the Oversight Committee.
	Would you comment on what we're witnessing with the 45th, and God willing, if we do our part, the 47th president happening in that courtroom?
	No, it's not even a judicial process.
	What you are seeing is the Democrat Party turning the judicial system on its head to get their political rival.
	This is third world banana republic stuff.
	Being in that New York courtroom, you see very quickly there is no case.
	It'd be one thing if you can argue the merits of a case, but it does not exist.
	their best hope is Michael Cohen, a man who was a liar, and then on a stand had to finally admit that he's a thief.
	And so you have Alvin Bragg who will not prosecute him because his whole desire is to get Donald Trump.
	And then when you take a step back, you look at the case in DC, the case in Florida,
	Fannie Willis down in Georgia.
	All of this is coordinated in my view by the White House, by the White House Council, by the Democrat Party
	to essentially use the judicial system to do what the Democrats cannot do,
	and that's beat their chief political rival.
	This stuff is un-American, Sebastian.
	This is not what our country was founded upon.
	Let's not be Pollyannas.
	There was a lot of times in American history when the judicial system was not used as intended, and that was wrong.
	And just as much as it was wrong then, it is wrong now.
	And so what you have to do is have a system of justice that works for everybody that is blind.
	You know, the Democrats like saying all the time that, oh, Donald Trump's not above the law.
	But guess what?
	He's not below the law either.
	And what Judge Mershawn, Alvin Bragg, Jack Smith, Tonya Chuckin, Merrick Garland—I'm going to throw him in there—and Lisa Monaco, what they are doing is treating Donald Trump as if he is below the law.
	But people are rejecting that.
	They know unfairness when they see it.
	They do not want that for this country.
	They want something better than what the Democrats have to offer.
	So it's important that voices like yours, like mine, like so many Americans, stand up to this.
	Because if you stand up to it, it shows the crazy Democrat Party that there are more of us than there are of them.
	Yeah, they may be loud, but they are in the minority.
	We salute you, Congressman Byron Donalds, Florida's 19th Congressional District, a warrior, a speaker of the truth.
	Donalds.House.Gov.
	Follow him at RepDonaldsPress and do say hello to your beautiful bride.

	food and water from coming in. This is not normal. It's unacceptable.
	It's also not legal.
	Bring food in now!
	There is food and water there.
	There's no reason why it can't cross the line.
	Jeff, what is that cut? Who is that and where is that and what's her problem?
	That's at UCLA.
	It's a protester.
	She's trying to pretend that she's in Gaza and can't get food and water.
	She can't get food and water.
	UCLA, is that in the Horn of Africa?
	Or is that, where is that, Mogadishu?
	Or is that Central Asia?
	Where is UCLA?
	That's in Gavin Newsom State, California.
	Hard to get food and water.
	Hey, you're from California, Eric, right?
	Is there like a problem with food and water in California?
	No, no.
	That campus is definitely not like South Africa.
	It is absolutely a... It's, by all definitions, a first world country.
	But what if they run out of oat milk?
	Oh, well, disaster.
	That's a humanitarian... That's like a war crime, right?
	No oat milk for UCLA?
	Absolutely.
	It's unimaginable.
	Hashtag First World Problems.
	Just wait till you hear what the Democrats are doing with Speaker Johnson and his invitation to Bibi Netanyahu.
	You've got to laugh at these things because otherwise you're not a happy warrior.
	What else do you need to do?
	You need to support those less fortunate than ourselves.
	The civilization is measured by what?
	By how it treats the most vulnerable.
	The elderly, the unborn and innocent children.
	Why do we come to you every summer with the Prison Fellowship Program?
	Because there are millions of children across this nation who have lost a father or a mother to the prison system.
	And we want to help them.
	Why?
	Because they're in danger.
	And I mean quite literally.
	Listen to Gary from the Angel Tree Summer Camp Program who explains it very succinctly.
	Well, one of the things I want to share with those of you who are contemplating, should I share, should I give my resources?
	I know things are tight, inflation is high, and you're making decisions on what to do and how to do.
	There's no better way to invest in the life of a child, that you'll be coming to hands and the feet of Jesus the moment you make that donation to support Angel Tree Camps.
	So I hope you will, and I pray you will.
	More than 70% of these millions of children who have lost a parent to the penal system End up behind bars themselves.
	That's a tragedy.
	We want to break that cycle by letting them feel a little bit more love this summer and introducing them to the Word of God.
	The Angel Tree Summer Camps, they have that experience.
	It's just $200 per child if you donate today, but you may literally be saving a life.
	Please make a donation.
	It's 20 bucks.
	If it's 100 bucks, 2,000, whatever it is, you will be making a difference.
	You can call it in.
	It's tax-deductible.

	She was in studio last week.
	She'll be on my Newsmax show this Sunday and she's back again this Friday.
	Why?
	Well, let's play a little clip about An issue, an event that she'll explain.
	Play cut.
	Get out of my face!
	Hey, hey, hey, hey!
	Back off!
	Just like you, I'm in a public place.
	You're in a public place assaulting my client.
	Get out of the way.
	Get out of my face!
	Oh, talking about assault.
	Sorry.
	You don't want me to tell you, do you?
	Don't touch me.
	Back up if you want a shot.
	I'm letting everybody take a shot.
	Back up.
	Get out of my face.
	I'm sorry.
	I'm wearing a skirt.
	I'd appreciate it if you'd raise your camera.
	Don't mess with a former attorney to the former president of the United States, especially if she's a devil dog, if she's a Marine, and if she's a judge advocate.
	Major Christina Bobb, U.S.
	Marine Corps, retired.
	Welcome back in studio.
	Thank you so much for having me.
	Where was that and what was happening?
	When was that?
	That was on Tuesday outside of the Maricopa County Courthouse.
	I had just gotten arraigned for nine felony charges along with seven... What was it like?
	Drug smuggling?
	Assassination?
	What was it?
	Yeah, well, it's funny.
	If you look at my mugshot, it looks like I buried a body in the desert somewhere.
	I gave that mugshot to my producers on Newsmax and they said, why are you using that photograph on your show?
	It looks like a mugshot.
	I said, David, that's because it is a mugshot.
	Yeah, no it is.
	No, nine felony counts, one conspiracy, and I think seven or eight forgery charges, actually.
	It's a forgery case.
	The $100 bills?
	What were you doing?
	Bearer bonds?
	Treasury bills?
	I wish.
	That might have been a good idea.
	Joking, of course.
	No, they're trying to claim that by creating an alternate slate of electors, in the event that any of the legal challenges prevailed in Arizona, they claimed that that document was a forgery.
	All right, so this is just a stinking outrage.
	We're going to discuss it.
	We're going to discuss your connection to the FBI raid at Mar-a-Lago and the authorization to use lethal force.
	But we've got a couple of minutes here.
	Will you just talk about this alternate slate of electors that most people have no knowledge
	of and don't understand that Democrats have done this?
	It's not unusual.
	It's not a crime.
	Can you explain what the alternate slate means?
	Right.
	It's not a crime and there is historic precedent for it.
	This happened in 1960 with John F. Kennedy.
	Hawaii was contested and the Electoral Count Act actually requires very specific
	Right, right.
	to be followed on specific days post-election.
	And one of the requirements is that the electors meet to certify and sign their slate as electors
	on December 14th.
	Well, December 14th in 1960, it was contested.
	And so they created an alternate, the Kennedy electors actually created an alternate slate.
	That's the Republican Party, right, Kennedy?
	Right, right.
	Well, it's legal when Democrats do it.
	Oh, that one.
	I forgot about that.
	Right.
	OK.
	Legal when Democrats do it.
	Of course.
	And so they met to basically follow the law for the purpose of following the Electoral Count Act in the event that their challenge was... Right.
	So they challenge because there are some issues they argue.
	Right.
	And they prepare in advance that if their challenge is accepted or wins, then they've got their corrected, legitimate slate of electors ready to roll.
	Right, that was prepared in accordance with the Electoral Count Act.
	Which is what you did.
	I didn't do it.
	Or the Republicans.
	Right, it's what the Arizona electors did.
	So why are you in court?
	Why are you around?
	I'm actually waiting to see that.
	I need to see what they believe my role was.
	Because I don't think I had anything to do with it.
	But I gotta wait and figure out what they're alleging against me.
	And who else was in court with you?
	Kelly Ward was there and she's great.
	Former Arizona GOP chairwoman.
	Her husband physically in court.
	Oh, Anthony Kerr, Senator.
	Anthony Kern, Arizona Senator.
	Anthony Kern was there.
	But they're coming after Rudy Giuliani.
	They're coming after John Eastman.
	Rudy, John Eastman, Mike Roman, Boris Epstein.
	Yeah, basically the MAGA team.
	Wow.
	Yeah.
	It's called Lawfare.
	It's called using the law as a weapon.
	We shall continue.
	Her book, you've got to get it.
	I've got a, you know, signed version, but you can get yours today wherever decent books are sold.

	And I tell you, I see a lot of flags.
	A lot of flags from right out of Israel, right?
	That's right out of Israel.
	But remember I said it, I said it a month ago and it's a terrible thing to say, but I believe it.
	Many of the hostages that you're waiting for and everybody's waiting for, those hostages, many of them are dead.
	Many of them are dead.
	And it's a horrible thing.
	It's a horrible thing.
	But many of those hostages are dead.
	And that's why when you see these negotiations where Hamas is like not getting back, they're saying, man, We could make a good deal, but these people are no longer alive.
	When I saw the way they were treated, when I saw the way they were thrown into the cars, and how horribly they were treated, there's no way that those hostages, and some will be alive, but many of those hostages are dead.
	It's a very serious, horrible thing.
	It would have never happened if the election weren't rigged!
	It would have never happened!
	If I'd be president, they would have never done it.
	African Americans are getting slaughtered.
	Hispanic Americans are getting slaughtered.
	and these millions and millions of people that are coming into our country,
	the biggest impact and the biggest negative impact is against our black population and
	our Hispanic population who are losing their jobs, losing their housing, losing everything they can lose.

	So, you
	You What was the crowd like what kind of response did he get?
	it.
	Well, certainly a bigger crowd than I think Democrats would like to see, particularly given this is one of the bluest counties in the entire country.
	Now, one of the things that was interesting to me is that the Trump campaign said that they were going to micro-target to get people from the community to come to this rally.
	I wasn't sure what to expect.
	I've gone to a lot of these rallies across the country, and there are often people who travel hundreds of miles to see Donald Trump, and they're not necessarily part of the community.
	However, one of the things that I found was that there were a lot of people here that were actually from the Bronx.
	So sad.
	I work for CNN and there are people from the Bronx at this rally.
	Why so salty?
	Why so sad?

	We're back with Christina Bobb.
	She has a new profile picture on Twitter.
	She texted me while I was in court with the president, and I said, what is this random photo of you looking like?
	You're a contract killer.
	And she said, Well, that's my mugshot.
	Yeah, it doesn't have the cool logo of, like, the sheriff's office.
	I know.
	Can we, like, Photoshop something on there?
	I would like to, like the Maricopa County seal or something like that.
	I know.
	I'll talk to some people.
	Why is she having a mugshot as in your profile picture?
	Because she's a patriot.
	That's why.
	Because she's a former Marine.
	and a patriot who worked for President Trump and will stand by the truth. If you want to know what
	the truth is, read the book right now that she authored. I have my copy, Stealing Your Vote,
	the inside story of the 2020 election and what it means for 2024. All right, we have to get you back
	for an hour, I think, but let's talk about the other bombshell this week. From the Judge Cannon
	in Florida, Julie Kelly broke this story of the warrant for the raid on Mar-a-Lago. And I forgot
	that after the raid, it was you I spoke to on my show, because you were there for the raid. And you
	said on my show that you were ordered on.
	On to the law.
	And you couldn't even witness what the FBI were doing inside.
	Go back.
	I need to read it.
	Go back, guys.
	And then there's this one sentence Julie reported.
	Law enforcement officers of the Department of Justice may use deadly force when necessary.
	Now there's been a big argument amongst conservatives over this.
	It's just an SOP standard.
	Others saying, are you kidding?
	My approach is, yeah, it's boilerplate for raids on crack houses.
	But this is the president's residence.
	Why are you using armed agents from the hostage rescue team in DC to do this?
	But you were there, so I want your reaction.
	Yeah, I was shocked when I saw that.
	I think it's completely inappropriate.
	As you mentioned, a raid like this should have been extremely tailor-made, especially because they understood that Secret Service could be there.
	And who is it to say that the FBI can take shots at the Secret Service without de-conflicting
	with the Secret Service?
	I mean, it's very common in the military.
	If you're with whatever services you're with, you just say, hey, we're going to be in this area.
	You don't want blue on blue.
	You don't want blue on blue.
	Exactly.
	And so there are stand talking about SOP.
	There are SOPs to de-conflict with other agencies and with other services.
	So that should have been done.
	So do you think this was an idiot who left in the boilerplate?
	Or was this a message because they wanted to roll in?
	there with the body armor with the guns to intimidate you and the president.
	Well, I believe that this was intentional.
	I don't think, you know, I don't know, I don't think that COA1 was to assassinate Donald Trump.
	I know some people have thrown that out there.
	I personally don't believe that.
	Well, he wasn't there.
	He wasn't there.
	And to me, that's the biggest reason why I think it wasn't there.
	Let's stop it with the QAnon stuff, right?
	Right.
	But it's about intimidation.
	I mean, you have to stand outside the building.
	You're an attorney.
	Right.
	Why aren't you allowed to witness what the FBI is doing?
	Yeah, well, that was very confusing for me at the time.
	Like, why can't I watch and see what you're doing?
	Why can't I take pictures so that we are able to document what you're doing?
	Yeah.
	And we now know, which was my suspicion at the time, because like you, The classified document cover folders, I had a stack of them in my office in the White House.
	They're not classified, they're things you put on top of a classified document, and they stage them on the floor, and what do we find out now thanks to Judge Cannon?
	The DOJ told the FBI to bring those cover sheets with them.
	They brought them into the building, then they put them on the floor with the documents to photograph them.
	This isn't a standard raid, this is a political action.
	Of course, of course.
	The fact that they brought them in is less concerning to me because if they actually thought that they were going to recover classified documents, that is how you properly handle the documents.
	So I don't have a problem with the fact that... Of photographing and leaking.
	Right, that's the problem.
	Those are DOJ images that are leaked to the press.
	That's the problem.
	That's the problem.
	It's a staged operation at that point.
	Bingo.
	Bingo, bingo.
	I just want to salute you in front of millions of people right now because you're a real Marine.
	I've worked with every arm of, well except Space.
	They didn't exist when I was a DoD.
	So I haven't worked with you guys, but I've worked with the Marines, the Coasties, the Navy, the Air Force, the Army, especially the guys at Bragg.
	And I love the Marines the most.
	I'm Sebastian Gawker, this is America First coming to you live from the ReliefFactor.com studios.

	I'm here to watch the Trump gathering rally here.
	What do you think about him being here?
	I think it's great.
	I think it's dope.
	From my generation, from what I know, this is the first time a president has actually came to the hood.
	I know presidents have came to the Bronx before, but we're talking about Woodlawn, Riverdale.
	He has came to Mauritania, South Bronx.
	The hood hood.
	So I respect that.
	The first time the presents come to the hood, and it's the real hood, it's the hood hood.
	Great clip from Teddy Point USA.
	We'll get more details on the rally momentarily, but first things first... Jeff!
	We need to go to more rallies, don't we?
	What did we do?
	We went to the convention.
	We've been to Mar-a-Lago.
	And the Orlando one.
	Oh, the Orlando one.
	That was great.
	But don't we need to go to more events like that?
	Yesterday's would have been fun.
	I think yesterday's would have been epic, epic fun.
	We'll find out just how much in a moment.
	But first things first, I'm Sebastian Gawker, the new and improved Mark II.
	Why is that?
	Because of Dr. Ashley Lucas and her amazing team at MyPhD.
	Weight loss.
	Look, I'm a big guy.
	Six foot three.
	But being 268 pounds, that's just not right.
	And carrying around, it's bad for your health.
	And then I met Dr. Lucas and her amazing team.
	Along with my bride Katie, we went on their program.
	No scary injections, no pills to pop, just five protein-rich meals a day that burn the fat off.
	I'm down 42 pounds, she's down 36 pounds.
	I'm a size 36 in my blue jeans.
	I haven't been that since my 20s.

	So, I wanted to live vicariously through somebody else who was at the rally, and I had a crazy idea!
	I don't just have a daily radio show across the nation, I have a super fun TV show as well, on Newsmax every Sunday night at 7pm Eastern and 10pm Eastern, if you're not familiar with it.
	Why are you listening?
	It's called the Gawker Reality Check and I thought, hey, maybe somebody from Newsmax was at the rally and I think we have a clip from Newsmax.
	Let's play it.
	The Democrats have neglected and sold us out for over 40 or 50 years.
	They've sold us a lie.
	And most of us here today, all right, I did a question and answer, and people raised their hand.
	Most of us are long-term Democrats who have finally left the plantation of the Democratic Party.
	Whoa, Democrats have left the plantation.
	Who was holding that microphone?
	Let's find out.
	Newsmax correspondent Mike Carter, welcome on America First.
	Dr. Gorka, it's a pleasure to be with you.
	So, what time did you get there?
	Tell us everything.
	How many people did you talk to?
	What was the crowd like?
	What was the atmosphere?
	Fill us in.
	Well, you know, it's funny, Dr. Gorka.
	I got there late morning yesterday.
	There were already thousands of people lined up.
	But, you know, we kind of anticipated that.
	What we didn't anticipate was the day before the rally, as the Trump team was setting up the scaffolding and the staging and all of that in the park, Kratona Park in the South Bronx.
	We were standing right on the side of the edge of the park.
	There's a main thoroughfare that kind of cuts it in half.
	And I tell you, Dr. Gorka, we saw At least two dozen vehicles driving by us.
	These were Latino people, Latino voters, black voters.
	And they, to a man, to a person, they were coming out and saying, that's where Trump's going to be.
	Go Trump!
	We want, we miss the president.
	They were excited.
	There was an energy in the air, even before Donald Trump took the stage last night.
	And when you spoke to those who were there waiting during the event, what were the themes?
	Especially from, you know, former Democrats, like that black woman.
	I think she looks like a former airborne, you know, U.S.
	Army veteran.
	What were they saying was the reason they came out to hear the president or to leave the Democrat Party?
	Well, you have a lot of people who had only voted Democrat their entire lives.
	That woman we just played, her name is Madeline Brame.
	She was actually a speaker last night before Donald Trump took to the stage.
	She has a really unique story, Dr. Gorka.
	She had two sons.
	She raised them in the Bronx.
	One son, an Afghanistan war veteran.
	He served honorably in Afghanistan.
	In 2018, he returned home only to be stabbed to death.
	in New York City. Her other son died of a fentanyl overdose.
	And these are, you know, themes that President Trump talks about all the time,
	whether it's illegal immigration, crime in our cities. These are things that Donald Trump is
	addressing that Joe Biden simply isn't.
	Now, Madeline Brame, her son that was murdered here in New York City, Alvin Bragg, two of the
	murderers, alleged murderers against her son, they were charged not with murder, but with gang assault.
	And she takes issue with that.
	She thinks that, look, these are people that killed my son, and they were able to plead down to gang assault for murder, one of them serving just 14 months, the other seven years in jail.
	And Alvin Bragg, this is the same district attorney that's going after Donald Trump right now in this criminal trial in Manhattan.
	Which a lot of people say, what are we even doing here?
	Why aren't you concentrating on the real criminals here?
	Talk to us about, for those who've never been to a Trump rally, you should go.
	It's like a big, big family.
	Talk to us about what the mood is, because it's quite unique.
	It's really, there's a kind of joyful energy.
	Was that what you experienced yesterday?
	Oh, it was a party.
	Trump rallies are always a party.
	You know, wherever you, I've gone to Trump rallies and New Hampshire and in Houston, Texas and Florida, they're always almost a coming home of seeing, you know, like-minded individuals, people from all different races and sex.
	It's a unique experience last night because there was one gentleman who was wearing a hooded sweatshirt and on the back he had a picture of Donald Trump and Barack Obama standing together with their thumbs in the air.
	You talk to this gentleman, you know, he's someone who voted for Barack Obama and he's voting for Donald Trump again.
	So this is a coalition of maybe what a lot of people would think is unlikely demographic
	voters coming out who are former Democrats and now saying, look, these policies that
	we've been living under and voting for for decades, there's just nothing there.
	And they're willing to give Donald Trump a chance to prove what he's saying on the campaign
	stump speeches possibly could come to fruition.
	He's a national correspondent.
	He's my colleague at Newsmax.
	Follow him, MikeCarterTV on Twitter.

	Get that cut, 21.
	I got the view cut for... For the laughing?
	Yeah.
	Oh, I didn't use the... Ugh, crap.
	I didn't use cut 3.
	Haas.
	Mm-hmm.
	I got the Prager phone call.
	It's five minutes.
	You want to save it for next week?
	Why is it five minutes?
	I don't need the whole thing.
	I just need where he says you like teenagers with big boobs.
	That thing.
	And then Dennis doesn't know how to respond.
	Hang on.
	What do we have here?
	We've got Boris.
	No, no, no, no.
	Save it for next week.
	Break it in two.
	Let me hear it.
	Come in with 11.
	Come in with 11.
	with 11 all right and with the 1140 seconds
	and I couldn't find that you
	you you
	We had the greatest economy in history.
	Everybody here, whether you have a small business or if you had a job, you were getting more than you ever made.
	And we had no inflation.
	We had no 1.4 percent.
	Considered none.
	Considered better than none because, frankly, none in its own way is a bad thing also.
	We had a perfect number, 1.4 percent.
	It doesn't matter whether you're black Or brown, or white, or whatever the hell color you are, it doesn't matter.
	We are all Americans and we're going to pull together as Americans.
	What a great sentiment.
	What does the other side do?
	Just divides us relentlessly.
	That speech.
	What was it, Eric Howard?
	Was it Howard University?
	No, Morehouse, right?
	Morehouse, Biden.
	Yes, MLK's alma mater.
	Right.
	He goes to Morehouse and he says, if you're black, the white man's going to grind you down.
	You have to work 10 times as hard.
	Just actually inflaming racial division.
	That's the current incumbent.
	And President Trump says, I don't care if you're an American, I don't care what color your skin is.
	We can build America afresh.
	Who would you vote for?
	The man who says that you're a victim, or the man who says you're a victor?
	I didn't give enough of a shout out to several people from Detroit when I visited our listeners there for the Patriot station.
	I want to say thank you first to Giacomo, who was Northville Cigars, was our sponsor.
	He's given me a little something for the boys.
	I'll hand those out later.
	I was smoking the Rocky Patels at our cigar event at the Culinary Institute, the Culinary Center.
	Great place.
	Let me tell you, the hors d'oeuvres were superb, as were the cigars.
	And all the people I met, like Barb, who's running for a local position in local government.
	Like Regina Wilk, who's running for the county commissioner.
	God bless you.
	These are the people who Take seriously the message that America's is ours to save.
	The way to do that is to run for local office.
	The school board, the county commissioner, that's how we take it back from the left.

	Everything is going downhill.
	The economy is going bad.
	The food is expensive.
	Affordable housing is not for everybody.
	It's just terrible.
	I want food to go cheaper.
	The gas, I want gas cheaper.
	When I came and he was the president, the gas was a lot cheaper than it is right now.
	Now we're becoming, the Bronx, second class citizens.
	We have this influx.
	A lot of migrants are coming in and they're getting everything.
	Everyone in the Bronx, in the city of New York, is forgotten.
	And Jose, a lot of the people I talked to were first time voters.
	Some had never been to a Trump event before.
	Some had voted for Obama twice and voted for Biden and are now saying they are going to vote for former President
	Trump in November.
	For more information visit www.fema.gov.
	lol you
	you you
	you you
	It's too much crying.
	Everything is going downhill.
	The economy is going bad.
	The food is expensive.
	Affordable housing is not for everybody.
	It's just terrible.
	I want food to go cheaper.
	The gas, I want gas cheaper.
	When I came and he was the president, the gas was a lot cheaper than it is right now.
	Now we're becoming, the Bronx, second-class citizens.

	And Jose, a lot of the people I talked to were first-time voters.
	Some had never been to a Trump event before.
	Some had voted for Obama twice and voted for Biden and are now saying they are going to vote for former President Trump in November.
	MSNBC's confused!
	How dare they vote for Obama?
	How dare they be from the Bronx and support President Trump?
	So salty, so sad.
	We will unpack it with my buddy who was with me in the court with the President on Tuesday.
	I don't know who he is.
	We just call him the Baron.
	But first things first, it's Friday.
	It's Second Amendment Friday.
	Car Firearms is our sponsor.
	They've stood by us for years here.
	Why?
	Because they understand what the Second Amendment is really about.
	There's a reason I carry a 9mm car every single day.
	A superlative line of self-defense weapons.
	But also, they own fun stuff.
	Like the Desert Eagle line.
	You know, from all the movies.
	Check them out at KAHR.com, also the Historic Auto Ordinance, which has the models the M1, the Tommy Gun and the legendary 1911.
	That's K-A-H-R dot com.
	K-A-H-R dot com.
	We were there.
	You can see us in the photographs behind the president on court on Tuesday.
	Me and my former White House colleague.
	He is not only attorney to the president, but senior advisor, Boris Epstein.
	Welcome back to America First.
	Thank you so much, Sebastian.
	It's an honor to be with you.
	Honor to be here.
	It was amazing.
	To be standing shoulder to shoulder with you this week at that sham in Manhattan.
	Are you happy that we're getting Republicans to come down there?
	I'm not an elected politician.
	I just did it because, you know, I think it was the right thing to do.
	But it was great to see, you know, the likes of Byron Donalds, previously Matt Gaetz.
	We're going to have the lieutenant governor of Texas, Dan Patrick, on the show right after you.
	Finally, people are getting to hear from others the reality of what's happening inside that courtroom.
	There's no doubt that the support has been absolutely overwhelming.
	The American people, the elected officials who represent them, and our country as a whole is standing with President Trump, and they're demanding that these witch hunts, these hoaxes be put to an end.
	It is an absolute bastardization of the American system of justice from Manhattan to Georgia to Florida to DC.
	These are nothing but empty attacks by Crooker Joe Biden and his allies against the leading candidate for president in 2024, the person who just brought out Over 25,000 people in the Bronx.
	President Donald J. Trump.
	Right, well, you're a New Yorker.
	I gotta get your reaction to what we witnessed.
	I couldn't believe it.
	Look, you're a human being, like me.
	I took the train back from Manhattan on Tuesday.
	I was pretty tuckered out.
	I was pretty tired.
	I had to do another event in Detroit with my listeners on Wednesday.
	And I was pretty tired, I can tell you, by Thursday morning.
	But I watched the president yesterday in the Bronx.
	Boris, the last three minutes, he had more fire in the belly than I can usually muster on an average day.
	How do you keep up with it?
	It's impossible.
	Nobody can keep up with him.
	He's absolutely unparalleled.
	You know that.
	President Trump has the energy, the stamina, the authenticity that nobody has ever had.
	And he keeps bringing it day and day again for the American people.
	And that's what you saw there on that stage last night.
	You're right.
	I mean, it's been a long several weeks stuck there in that horrid courthouse where he shouldn't even think about being, but he's been stuck there where he's been fighting this weaponization of law enforcement, fighting the destruction of the American system of government.
	Fighting the destruction of the Constitution, and yet, there he was, yesterday, Thursday evening, absolutely crushing it in the Bronx in front of a huge crowd.
	Yeah, we can't talk about the court because of the, you know, what's happening inside because of the gag order, which is un-American and against the Constitution.
	But your comment with regards to the nature of the building, it is so dingy in there.
	You know, the court itself, a little ante room we have to wait in with the president.
	It kind of blows my mind that this is the state of New York's court system.
	Let's listen to the president.
	He made some very, very trenchant comments from the platform yesterday about what we're witnessing in the Middle East, and I know you have a reaction.
	Cut 12, the president in the Bronx.
	And I tell you, I see a lot of flags.
	A lot of flags from right out of Israel, right?
	That's right out of Israel.
	But remember, I said it.
	I said it a month ago, and it's a terrible thing to say, but I believe it.
	Many of the hostages that you're waiting for, and everybody's waiting for, those hostages, many of them are dead.
	Many of them are dead.
	And it's a horrible thing.
	It's a horrible thing.
	But many of those hostages are dead.
	And that's why, when you see these negotiations where Hamas is, like, not getting back, they're saying, We could make a good deal, but these people are no longer alive.
	When I saw the way they were treated, when I saw the way they were thrown into the cars, and how horribly they were treated, there's no way that those hostages, and some will be alive, but many of those hostages are dead.
	It's a very serious, horrible thing.
	It would have never happened if the election weren't rigged.
	It would have never happened if I'd been president.
	They would have never done it.
	Sadly, just today, Boris, we found out two more hostages' bodies were found, just as the President predicted.
	Let's take off your attorney's hat for a second.
	Let's talk strategists.
	Let's talk what you're witnessing as you travel the country.
	Is there some kind of key issue that you see being repeated again and again and again when you talk to Americans who want to have the President back?
	You know, the wars that we're witnessing across the Middle East, in Europe and elsewhere.
	Is it the economy?
	Is it crime?
	What do you think is the most motivational, especially when we're talking about Democrats leaving the Democrat plantation and coming over to MAGA?
	It's a combination, Sebastian.
	It's a combination of the border, the fact that we don't have a border in this country, and the American people are sick and tired of it.
	They want to be protected.
	It's personal security in the streets.
	And it's the fact that our economy is a disaster.
	I mean, there's a graph that was posted everywhere last week showing that adjusted for inflation, household income is way down.
	Under decrepit, crooked, illegitimate Joe Biden.
	And it's down because Democrat policies are destroying the American family.
	They're destroying the American system.
	And our country as a whole is damaged by Joe Biden.
	And that's why this election, as the President says, President Trump says, is the most important in our country's history.
	Because if we don't turn the tide now, it may never be able to be turned.
	All right, I think we have... Do we have the clip of the rappers who came up?
	Yes, we have Chef G, not an individual I'm familiar with, but this is the power of the America First message, again from last night in the Bronx, cut 14.
	Here as well is rapper Chef G. Does everybody know Chef?
	Where is Chef G?
	Where is he?
	They always gonna whisper your accomplishments and shout your failures.
	Trump gonna shout the wins for all of us.
	Thank you.
	Make America great again.
	Thank you so much.
	Thank you so much.
	I appreciate it.
	I appreciate it.
	Thank you very much.
	That's where I like those teeth.
	I want to find out where you did.
	I gotta get my teeth like that.
	I want that to happen to me.
	I don't think the president needs a grill like rapper Chef G, but this is a very different Republican Party, isn't it, Barron?
	The party of today is the MAGA party.
	And what is the MAGA party?
	The MAGA party is a combination of everybody, no matter their ethnic background, their socioeconomic background, no matter where they come from in our country, geographically, everybody who wants America to be great.
	And so it doesn't matter whether you're white, you're black, you're Jewish, you're Hispanic, Chinese, Asian, whatever it may be.
	Everybody who loves America is with MAGA, is with President Trump, and it's going to continue to be that way.
	Because if you look at the alternative, if you look at that absolutely decrepit, disgusting administration that we have right now under Crooked Joe Biden, that's not pro-America.
	That's pro-grift.
	That's pro-selling our country down the river to China and our other adversaries.
	That's pro-destroying our economy.
	Destroying our borders.
	That's why there's such a groundswell of support, overwhelming support, for President Donald J. Trump.
	It's a new party and thanks in part to people like Boris Epstein, senior advisor to the Trump 2024 campaign and his attorney.

	You You
	When he came down that escalator, he probably had no idea that he was going to be called
	to be the man in the gap to stand up for Americans.
	And he's standing up for you, even if you don't know it.
	I don't know who's next.
	Would a member of the ruling class be facing 730 years in prison?
	What a pathetic question.
	730 years in prison and he's a member of the elite?
	That's pathetic.
	You're not a journalist.
	That was our tag team performance outside the court on Tuesday.
	Proud to be there in front of the hyenas, the jackals of the press.
	And he was actually sitting next to me on those rather uncomfortable benches in the courthouse.
	We will be joined momentarily by the lieutenant governor of the great state of Texas, Dan Patrick.
	But first things first, it's that time of year I want to enlist you in my army.
	It's the Prison Fellowship Angel Tree Summer Camp campaign for those children across America, millions of them who have a mother or father Incarcerated and who will, well, let's just say they're very vulnerable.
	More than 70% of these children will end up in prison as well and we want you to help me break that cycle.
	Thousands of these children were sent to Christ-centric summer camps thanks to you last year.
	We want to do it again.
	They feel a little bit more loved and they get introduced to their Lord and Savior who can help us break that cycle.
	Please make a donation.
	It's $200 per child per week, but whatever you can afford, you may be saving a life.
	You can call up, make your tax-deductible donation by dialing 888-206-2794, or just go to my website, sebgawker.com, and the Angel Tree Summer Camp Lieutenant Governor Dan Patrick, we are big fans of you here on the show.
	I can't believe I got to sit next to you on those rather uncomfortable wooden benches in the court on Tuesday.
	and the Angel Tree summer camp banner.
	Lieutenant Governor Dan Patrick, we are big fans of you here on the show.
	I can't believe I got to sit next to you on those rather uncomfortable wooden benches
	in the court on Tuesday.
	Welcome to America First.
	By the way, that's a great charity and I will right now, I'll sponsor 50 children, so I'll
	send you a check.
	That's great.
	Wow.
	Well, you don't know where we work on.
	I started the first seminary ever in a Texas prison, the largest now.
	We had one in Louisiana, so what we do, Sebastian, is we train inmates serving 20 years to life To become full-time pastors in the prison.
	They go through the full seminary course.
	That's what they do in prison.
	20 years to life they're serving.
	And we've graduated over a hundred pastors.
	It's theheartoftexas.org.
	We graduated over a hundred pastors.
	We sent out to our Texas prisons.
	We have 200 more in the program, and we opened up our first women's seminary.
	So it's the largest seminary in a prison in America.
	So you're right about those kids, and we'll send you $5,000 to sponsor those kids.
	It's not good for a radio host to be speechless, but God bless you, Lieutenant Governor Dan Patrick.
	That's what I'm going to say.
	Listen to this man and follow his lead.
	I want to apologize first because I was so angry at that court when I was told by the President's team the judge is suppressing a document about Michael Cohen.
	I kind of barged myself to the front of the microphone.
	I said, Lieutenant Governor, can I just tell everybody here about this document they're suppressing?
	And you were so gracious.
	But please, would you tell us, give us your response to what you witnessed inside that courtroom on Tuesday?
	So it's very interesting, Sebastian.
	Your listeners may not be aware of this all across the country, but we had an impeachment in Texas last year, and although I'm not a lawyer or a judge, I was the judge of the Senate impeachment trial of our Attorney General, Ken Paxton.
	By the way, charges should not have been brought, and he was acquitted.
	But I had to study up for months and months at a time, and my son was a criminal court judge and a U.S.
	attorney, and so I learned a lot from him.
	But the one thing that I was fascinated, as we sat there in the afternoon section on the jury instructions, They're pretty basic of what's right and what's wrong.
	And a judge should defer a little bit to the defensive side.
	It is the defendant.
	But I listened to the instruction, recommendations by the prosecution team, which is a prosecution team Biden against the Trump defense lawyers.
	And to my recollection, Sebastian, all 20 or so, it's about 20 that the defense team put up.
	He didn't grant one.
	There was one.
	There was one.
	He said, I'll think about everything else.
	He automatically rejected.
	Yes.
	And you know, when he said, I'll think about it, it was just a delay.
	And then on the other side, prosecution got everything they wanted.
	So what was obvious to me, this is a corrupt judge.
	This is a kangaroo court.
	This is something you would see, Sebastian, by some tin pot dictator in some third world country or North Korea or Russia or Iran.
	This is not what you would expect to see in America.
	This is not justice.
	There's no crime.
	There's no evidence.
	They wouldn't let—this judge wouldn't let the key witness, the finance chair expert, to take the stand to say that what President Trump did didn't break the law.
	He didn't want that witness.
	That's not his right.
	That's not his right.
	An expert witness, you can deny them if it didn't tie into something that was brought up in the court.
	You just couldn't bring in an expert on anything.
	But this clearly was a topic of the court.
	And then when the Trump team, as you recall, we were sitting there, they asked him to make a motion on this so that it was explained to them, a motion on jury instructions, and he denied that.
	And he said, well, you can do that in your closing arguments.
	Well, You know, the jury's going to listen to the prosecution, the defense.
	They're both going to say different things.
	The jury has the right to know what the law is, and this judge does not plan to tell him what the law is.
	And so it was clear to me, Sebastian, what he really plans to do.
	He's trying to create a pathway for them to convict this president, a pathway, because the evidence surely wasn't there.
	And the other thing as a judge, when a witness lies on the stand, And which is Michael Cohen, a liar and a thief.
	You should say to the jury, you can discard anything he says.
	He's not telling the jury that either.
	So this is a sham court.
	And I just, I've never been more proud of Donald Trump.
	I've known him now for 10 years.
	I've been his campaign chair in Texas.
	I've never been more proud of him because no one in the country, no one, Sebastian, would go through what he's going through for us.
	We only have a couple of minutes left in this segment, but I have to ask you, it was superb to be with you, with Don Jr., with Matt Whitaker.
	Is enough being done by the Republican Party to stand with President Trump?
	Say that again, I'm sorry.
	Is enough being done by the Republican Party to stand with President Trump?
	So is it the Republican Party as an organization or the Republican Party as people?
	Obviously, I think the Republican Party now with Michael Whatley is going to do a really good job.
	But I've been here, I'm in San Antonio today at our convention, and we have thousands and thousands of delegates here at our convention.
	And I've told each delegation team that I spoke to, I go to all the delegation caucuses, what I just told you.
	And I said, look, we have to stand up with this president more than ever, dig deeper, Be ready to give.
	Give again and give again because this will be a $750 million budget for the Trump campaign.
	You know, George Soros and the Democrats will throw everything they can to stop this president.
	And so we're going to have to step up as American citizens.
	And remember, even if you can only give $10 or $25, when you multiply that by the millions of people who support the president, we can hit that budget.
	So we're going to have to do that.
	And then in these swing states, we have to turn out and vote.
	And after last night in the Bronx, with that $25,000, $30,000, the rally that shook the world, the Democrats now are going to have to deploy their resources to defend New York and New Jersey.
	We're talking to the Lieutenant Governor of the great state of Texas, Dan Patrick.

	That's sebastiangawker.substack.com With regards to that fake Republican speaker.
	I'll see you next time.
	So, the election is Tuesday.
	Today's the last day of early vote.
	I never can predict 100% of how any race is going to turn out, especially a runoff, because our runoff is going to be light turnout.
	It is the heaviest voted race.
	We have 10 runoffs, which are extraordinary.
	He has the biggest turnout, I mean, in that race.
	Right now, I project he loses.
	I think he's going to lose, even if he were to pull it out.
	He's not going to be voted a speaker, but we want to take him out total.
	This is the first time, Sebastian, in 52 years that a speaker running in a primary has not won the primary outright.
	So he's in a runoff.
	He finished second in the first race.
	This will be the first time one's been defeated.
	He's terrible.
	He's awful.
	How did that happen?
	Because I wasn't familiar with it, but when I started hearing how bad he is and everything that happened with Ken, how did it occur that such a person who's not a member of the team ended up as the Speaker?
	Here's how it works.
	We have 150 House members.
	You need 76, simple majority, to be elected Speaker.
	We never had a Republican Speaker in the history of the state of Texas until 2003.
	We were a Democrat state.
	And so in 2003, there were Republicans who picked the Speaker.
	But there were some moderate Republicans who didn't like the conservative who was chosen.
	So instead of getting 76 Republican votes in the caucus out of 80-some members, he went out and got 64 Democrats and 12 Republicans, a coup d'etat, to become Speaker.
	He lasted 10 years.
	So we've had two since then.
	So this Speaker, the current one, Got 40-some Republicans and 30-some Democrats to form a coalition.
	And because of that, he owes his soul to those Democrats, or he won't stay in the chair.
	So he appoints them in big committee assignments, passes their bills, block conservative bills.
	It's just a traitor.
	It's a traitor to our party.
	So that's how it happened.
	It shouldn't happen that way.
	And that's why I'm all into taking Matt Kempach and working on this, too.
	But we are all in.
	And how does it work?
	You can't have a motion.
	How do you vacate him?
	How many people does it take?
	Well, if we defeat him in his primary, then he's done.
	No, but previously, like, you know, with McCarthy.
	Previously, someone could make a motion to remove him.
	That's what was done to the speaker back in 07, who was elected by all Republicans.
	He was able to survive, and then this guy, that speaker at the time, You know, came in with 64 Democrats.
	So, anyone can make that motion, but it's very hard to take a speaker down in the middle of a session.
	So, we decided that we're going to take him down straight out in the primary.
	And our guy, David Covey, who's running against him, he was a 30-1 shot in October.
	And I called the president, and I said, Mr. President, I accidentally called him.
	I said, we need to take this guy down.
	And he said, you know, we're — as he likes to say, in Texas, we're 51-0 in endorsements.
	I don't send him Bad names.
	He said, or his team said, look, the president's been in other speaker races.
	We have not done well, because it's hard to take a speaker down no matter what, because of all the power they have and all the control they have.
	But the president always courageously went forward.
	And that's the real key.
	The really funny thing was this phony baloney speaker.
	Eric, come in with Lieutenant Gavdaclip.
	22.
	Carry on.
	So anyway, so the speaker, this guy, Dave Phelan, endorsed President Trump.
	He endorsed President Trump as if, like, he's a Trump guy, and immediately Trump came out and blasted him for the endorsement.
	Stand by.
	Stand by, stand by.
	Yeah.
	Will you as lieutenant governor of this state back Donald Trump for president if he's nominated?
	Absolutely.
	Look, I'll take a- Absolutely!
	Absolutely!
	Let me tell you what, I will take a capitalist over a socialist anytime.
	Really?
	Absolutely.
	Wow!
	Pulling no punches!
	I think I recognize that man.
	I'll take a capitalist over a socialist anytime and that's why he's had President Trump's back for a decade.
	That is the Lieutenant Governor of the great state, the Lone Star State, that is Texas.
	I'm Sebastian Gorka.
	It's a Friday.
	It's Second Amendment Friday.
	Why are we free?
	Why are we citizens and not subjects?
	Because of the Second Amendment, the first civil right that makes all the others possible.
	No other company understands that better than the Carr Firearms Group and their CEO, Justin Moon.
	That's why I carry a 9mm car every single day.
	Check out their superb line of concealed carry weaponry at KAHR.com.
	And they also own the iconic, the legendary Desert Eagle Line of weapons and the historic Inter Ordnance American weapons line including the M1 Carbine, the venerable Tommy Gun and the legendary 1911.
	Check them all out today.
	You won't regret it.

	That's KAHR.com.
	Little clip there that my producer found from way back when, Lieutenant Governor.
	That's how all Republicans should behave with the fake news.
	That's how you behaved outside the courtroom with me, with Don Jr.
	Why do so few conservatives know how to treat people who deserve none of our respect?
	Because they're propagandists.
	Yeah.
	By the way, when I was sitting next to you, because I don't think we had met before.
	No.
	I was a big fan of yours when you were in the White House since your career since then.
	So I was, look, not many people outside of Texas know who the lieutenant governor of Texas is, but they all know who you are.
	So it was fun getting to know you and honored to be on your show.
	Here's the deal, Sebastian, too many people run for office.
	Who really aren't founded in any principle or core value.
	They run, and there are many people who run for office who are, but there's too many that run because they just feel like it's time in their life they want to do it.
	Maybe they need a job.
	You know, Congress pays $174,000 a year.
	Many congressmen couldn't make that money on the outside, quite frankly.
	And we have great congressmen, great legislators, but in large part, I would say less than 25% run actually on something they truly believe in and cannot be pushed off the rock from.
	You know, it's like your faith.
	If you believe in Jesus Christ as your Savior, you can't get pushed off the rock.
	Well, if you're a true conservative and you're a true capitalist and you believe in this country, then you're going to be bold about what you believe.
	And so I just find a lot of people in office are pushed away from speaking and saying what they want because they really didn't believe it.
	They just mouthed it to get elected.
	You have posted at the top of your Twitter feed your visit with the great Dr. Ben Carson to the border.
	Let's play a little clip from yesterday's rally with the president.
	Just 25 seconds long.
	Cut 13.
	Play cut.
	African Americans are getting slaughtered.
	Hispanic Americans are getting slaughtered.
	And these millions and millions of people that are coming into our country, the biggest impact and the biggest negative impact is against our black population and our Hispanic population, who are losing their jobs, losing their housing, losing everything they can lose.
	You're on the front lines, Lieutenant Governor, because you're in Texas.
	How ironic is it that the one issue that, more than anything else, got President Trump elected in 2016 is likely to be the key issue that gets him, God willing, re-elected this year?
	The Democrats should have stayed away from illegal immigration, but instead they tripled and they quadrupled down.
	Isn't that a little bit strange?
	You know, we're fortunate that the Democrats are so stupid that they reach so far to grab so much so quickly that they really frighten people.
	And that's what they do.
	You know, if they had done incrementally all these things over time, it would be tougher.
	But they went all in.
	Our country has never been in worse shape.
	We've never been more of a danger of losing our defense, liberty and freedom.
	And on the border, let me give you this stat, for example.
	I flew back to Texas with the president because we had two events that day, the next day, Wednesday this week.
	And so I had four hours on the plane ride with him, just the two of us talking.
	And we talked about the border issue.
	And I said, you know, Mr. President, you may not know this stat, but the last year you were in office, we apprehended 340 342 people of military age from China.
	342.
	Last year, Mr. President, 2023, we apprehended 22,000 from China of military age.
	This year, we've already apprehended 27,000.
	That's 50-some thousand Chinese young men, 19 to 40, well, look like they're in good shape.
	And you don't get out of China unless they let you.
	So the Democrats, I mean, even yesterday, what was the Congressional vote that they voted to allow citizens, I mean, undocumented citizens to vote, illegal immigrants to vote?
	So, the Democrats have gone to the extreme, you know, boys playing men's sport, drag queen, you know, library hours for children, go on and on, you know, suppressing our energy industry to benefit our enemies, not standing with Israel.
	I mean, if you told President Biden, if you were an advisor, as you were to the President and the White House, and you said, this is everything you should do right, He's absolutely pivoted over here 180 degrees and done just the opposite.
	So that's why the president is going to exceed the current polling and he's going to win, I believe, in a landslide.
	Well, it won't be a landslide, but he's going to win with a big margin.
	Well, it'll be thanks to people like you having his back.
	It was an honor to sit next to you in the court to share a microphone outside the court and this show in this door.
	always open to you. Please follow the Lieutenant Governor Dan Patrick at

	Idles for bullets.
	Wish he was the governor.
	What?
	I wish he was the guy.
	Yeah.
	How do you have such a good sense?
	That guy seems real genuine.
	He does, and then you go back to his background.
	He was another one.
	For most of his life, he was a normal person, and then got into politics later.
	What did he do?
	Was he a builder, or what was he?
	No, he was a TV guy for a while, sports, then he had sports bars in, like, Texas, and then kind of got into conservative radio, like, after 2000.
	He's 75.
	No way!
	But... 75 what?
	He's 75 now.
	He's 75?
	Wow.
	Yeah.
	75 what? He's 75 now. He's 75? Wow. Yeah.
	mics are still hot Okay.
	Oh, can you do the whole thing with the brakes?
	With the brakes?
	Yeah.
	Uh... Oh, I need the Jim Jordan cut.
	Was that yesterday?
	Or was that today?
	Jim Jordan.
	About the ATF.
	When was that, Jeff?
	Um... The cut?
	There is no cut on it.
	It's just a... It was a written story.
	Oh.
	Yeah.
	Maybe I posted it.
	Give me the backup, please, guys.
	I didn't think.
	I saw it today, but I didn't see any audio for it.
	Okay.
	There was.
	I posted it.
	Um...
	Hey, buddy, how we doing?
	Good, my man.
	How are you doing?
	Good, good, good, good.
	If it's on your feet, I can probably grab it quick for the middle of the segment.
	That'd be great.
	Sorry, what'd you say, man?
	Are you keeping busy?
	Oh, my goodness gracious.
	It's insane how busy I am, man.
	Did you go to NRA?
	I did.
	All right, let's start with that, because I didn't.
	Let's start with that.
	All right, coming in with the intro video.
	No cuts or anything for this?
	Uh, just if we get the Jordan thing.
	Actually, there's something I wanted to talk to him politically.
	What was it?
	I might use 14 as B-roll.
	Oh, 8?
	No, I'll definitely use 8.
	We'll do the car at the top, then I'll tee up 8.
	update. Okay.
	is Don't hurt herself, kid.
	No.
	This is Second Amendment Friday on America First, brought to you by Carr Firearms.
	We must be grateful every single day for the fact that we remain, for the time being, the freest nation on God's green earth.

	I carry a car every single day, so should you.
	Go right now to KAHR.com.
	That's KAHR.com.
	Glad, so glad to welcome back to the show an individual who has a rather good YouTube channel called Langley Firearms.
	He is just back from the second biggest gun show in the nation after the SHOT show where we met for the first time.
	Braden Langley, welcome to America First!
	Thank you, sir.
	It's always good to see you.
	Anytime you text, I'm down.
	All right.
	You are such a gracious individual, always available to talk Second Amendment, and also somebody who has a little bit of a more philosophical approach to things with Langley Outdoors Academy, this superb channel that everybody needs to follow right now.
	So let's talk about... I'm jealous of you.
	What did you see at NRA?
	What was it like?
	I know they had votes for new members of the board.
	I kind of...
	I've had it with the NRA under Wayne LaPierre.
	I've kind of cut off ties for the last few years.
	Is there a hope and a glimmer?
	Are they going to fix things there?
	Do we have to call in Don Jr.
	to take it over?
	Well, from what I understand, Don Jr.
	said, no, not right now, I'm good.
	But I think that's a fair assessment where a lot of gun owners and a lot of Second Amendment advocates said is, are we done with the NRA?
	Can it rise like a phoenix from the corruption and ashes that Wayne LaPierre brought in?
	I mean, honestly, The only real answer I could tell you is time's going to tell.
	I mean, in my personal opinion, man, you've got an opportunity to excise the corruption that everyone knew about and rebuild yourself in a proper way.
	If you take it, you take it.
	If you're up to the same old tricks, we can't help you because we've built a grassroots environment in spite of the NRA, which I know can do as good or better job every single day.
	Alright, then let's talk about what you saw there.
	Anything intriguing, anything groundbreaking from the manufacturers, from everybody who was there?
	From the manufacturers themselves, nothing tremendously groundbreaking like a new technology or a new innovation from a standpoint of a delivery system, anything like that.
	What the real thing that I look for in these shows is the people themselves.
	Who was there?
	Was it families?
	Was it older clientele?
	What was the demographics looking like?
	What was the environment?
	What was the tenor of the show?
	You know, it was an interesting show because there was a little bit of a disruption because Trump's speech was on Saturday, which is the heaviest day while we were there.
	Because the speech was delayed a little bit, it kind of stole emphasis away from the show like slightly.
	But I mean, if you saw that speech, it was well worth the wait because he was on peak Trump if you saw that speech.
	But the show itself, I would say one to scale of 10.
	I'd say probably a 7 or an 8.
	It wasn't the best inter-age show I've ever seen or been to, but it also definitely wasn't the worst, right?
	I would say it was a good status for rebuilding something.
	A rebuilding year, if you will.
	Let's talk about breaking news.
	There was a committee hearing on Capitol Hill with Jim Jordan.
	This horrific story we covered last week on the show.
	The manager of the Arkansas Regional Airport was killed, I would say probably murdered, Law enforcement agents, the ATF, because he was a gun collector, they raided his home.
	He took a gun with him because he didn't know why his door was being bust down and now we find out that they weren't wearing body cameras.
	So what is the latest?
	What should Americans know about what the ATF did to this innocent individual?
	See, the hard part about this is there's so much that we don't know on the ground level, but a lot of it came out in this hearing.
	If you guys missed this hearing, Please watch it in some form or fashion, because the representatives there, Jim Jordan included, the chairman of the judiciary, came out and flat out laid the facts out that it was a 6 a.m.
	raid.
	They had 10 different cars that were going to knock down this door.
	They had a full tactical stack.
	They turned their cameras off of themselves and also of the local police department.
	They cut power, so they're wandering around in someone else's house in the dark and busting down the door.
	It's kind of like you set yourself up for a very bad outcome, And that's what the representatives were fully diving in after.
	I mean, a lot of stuff came up.
	And the important thing to note is this all came from a rule change from the ATF outside the confines of Congress.
	That was the whole impetus for this hearing.
	And when you look at what the outcome was versus what the reps were saying, a lot of information as time goes on is going to uncover, in my opinion, a Pretty serious and dire potential circumstance for all Americans.
	And a lot of the reps were saying that too.
	What makes the difference?
	What makes me a dealer?
	What doesn't make me a dealer?
	And he didn't have an answer for it, Sebastian.
	That's the problem.
	There was no definitive answer.

	You won't regret it.
	We've got a couple of minutes left.
	We discussed on the show recently New York wants to ban the Glock.
	Kind of lunacy.
	This is the governor making a statement about what we witnessed in the Bronx yesterday.
	Governor Kathy Hochul.
	Cut eight.
	Well, I'll tell you it won't make a difference at all, Jake, and that is for Donald Trump to be the ringleader and invite all his clowns to a place like the Bronx.
	New York will never, ever support Donald Trump for president.
	We know him better than anyone, and that means we understand what he's all about.
	It's just for himself.
	So you have very good analysis that goes beyond just the Second Amendment and gun stuff.
	It's historic, it's political, it's philosophical.
	Your reaction to a governor who wants to ban Glocks from her state, calling half the nation members of a circus who are following a clown?
	You know, it doesn't take a good poker player to tell when someone's bluffing.
	I mean, honestly, that's the best way.
	When I see the CNNs, the MSNBCs, all of those organizations that are clearly aligned with the left, bringing on the people who can really dispel the concern that they're clearly afraid of.
	There's a tell in their actions, almost more in their words.
	And for her to call everyone clowns, that kind of rings of the basket of deplorables.
	Like, good, keep going down this road.
	It works out so well every time you insult the entire nation.
	You take rights at a whim.
	Police officers are dying in your city also at a whim.
	In light of your gun control, felons are being put out, which are getting hands on guns, which you said is not possible.
	And then they're dying on the streets defending the laws and the civilians.
	I mean, at a certain point, like, Do you think that we're just not that intelligent, or do you just think that the media is going to parrot this for you and you'll be fine?
	Because it's not the same as it was 10 years ago.
	Like, flat out.
	It's just not.
	He's right.
	Keep on doubling down, gun haters, because it means we win more and more and more.

	Thanks for that.

	God bless the memory of Staff Sergeant and all of those who gave the ultimate measure for this nation so we can remain the freest on God's green earth.
	What was the name of that Texas Republican who got in a shouting match with MTG, Jeff?
	What's her name?
	Jasmine Crockett, right?
	Oh wow, Jasmine Crockett.
	Good memory there.
	She's really qualified, right?
	Yeah, she's also auditioning for the squad, it seems like, at this point.
	But she's got this amazing... I mean, do you know how hard it is to get an honorary doctorate?
	How many years of study it takes?
	I mean, the number of exams... To get the honor, you have to take an honorary exam and go to honorary classes.
	Do you know that?
	That's tough to do.
	And she's also the head of some organization I didn't even know existed I was asking you about.
	Oh, you mean the Civil Air Defense League that was invented during the Cold War before she was born?
	Yeah, she's what, a colonel in that or something?
	No, no, Colonel Equivalent, please.
	Accuracy.
	Colonel Equivalent.
	Does it come with a pension?
	Oh, I'll be sure.
	And lots of stars on her shoulder.
	I think she's going to have the eyelashes and the gold braiding.
	Let's listen to her list of amazing achievement.
	Cut 17.
	All I could think about was the fact that I currently hold an honorary doctorate.
	I also hold a jurist doctorate.
	I also hold a bachelor's.
	I also technically hold the rank of lieutenant colonel in the Civil Air Patrol.
	And I actually practiced law for almost two decades, in addition to serving on various boards, in addition to being a prior state lawmaker.
	And there are those that would make some people believe that because I happen to be black and or a woman, that somehow, even though I can rattle off all the qualifications in the world, my blackness makes me unqualified.
	Eric, what's the golden rule of people who have to list their qualifications?
	They're probably, uh, censoring myself here, full of it.
	Alex, listing off pseudo qualifications, what does that mean to you?
	Absolutely nothing.
	Yeah, you're absolutely right.
	But I think you're right, the newest member of the squad.
	Listen to some real women who don't have to rattle off their qualifications because they're patriots.

	you you
	Impressive.
	Most impressive.
	See you, thing. Group people wouldn't believe you. Talk to God.
	Oh my god.
	you Let's go see it together.
	I have a friend of mine who wants to immigrate to South Africa.
	Yes, of course.
	I can certainly help him do that.
	Oh, sure.
	But I want you to talk him out of it.
	Talk him out of it?
	Yeah.
	Whatever for?
	You see, this is such a bad time for him to go to South Africa.
	I mean, with all the trouble and everything, okay?
	Look, why don't you ask your friend to come back later in the week?
	We can sit down.
	No, he's here.
	He's here.
	He's here?
	Yeah, he's here now.
	Where?
	Alphonse!
	Alphonse.
	How you doing?
	I think there must be some mistake.
	Say what?
	Sir, listen to your friend here.
	He knows what he's talking about.
	I don't think you really want to go to South Africa.
	Why not?
	Because you're black.
	You are.
	Yeah, Joe Pesci.
	Yeah, you're black.
	Question is, will we speak for the whole next hour with my co-host and mine in Seti-frican accents?
	It is Lethal Weapon 2, and we're making movies great again.
	It is 1989's re-do sequel, bringing back the duo of Murtaugh and Riggs.
	Chris Coles, a.k.a.
	Mr. Reagan, you chose this movie.
	What is it about you and sequels?
	You know, sometimes I just like to stay in the world.
	I like to keep living in the best movie worlds that exist.
	And first things first, that's a pretty darn good South African accent.
	That's one of the few accents that is in English that I cannot do.
	I can't do Welsh.
	I can't do South African.
	So well done.
	South African is the easiest.
	Hey, it's the easiest accent to do.
	You just talk like this all the time.
	I'd have to work on it.
	I'd have to work on it.
	That's pretty good.
	That's pretty impressive.
	You know what's really not impressive?
	When a guy who spent, I love it, the left-wing loonies, especially on social media, they have this thing about saying, and your dumb, stupid, fake accent.
	I was born in England.
	I spent the first 24 years of my life in England.
	But what's worse than the lefty saying, it's your fake accent, is when well-meaning individuals say, Who don't know who I am, say, are you from Australia?
	Or are you South African?
	I'm neither!
	It's British, damn it!
	You know, it's funny because I lived in England for one year on an exchange program at school.
	I occasionally will watch a little bit too much of like without what I lied to you or some of the British show will fall back into using the accent a little bit.
	And no one ever accuses me of having a fake accent, even though I actually do sometimes.
	You sometimes, I love it, when you get very serious about an issue in your superb videos on the Mr. Reagan channel, there's a like 4.3% British accent that creeps in, and now I know, now I know why, and I was gonna ask, this is so weird, this is like a Vulcan mind meld, I was gonna ask you, because you said recently you spent some time in England, and in one of your recent, what was it?
	I think it was on Twitter.
	Oh, my gosh.
	Yeah, I don't know if I texted this to you.
	You used a... I'll just say, a rude phrase on a thread, and it was so quintessentially British.
	I said, there's only one way that phrase gets into your vocabulary, and it's because you've lived in the UK.
	And you can't get rid of it, my friend.
	It's in your bloodstream now.
	Yeah, somebody put some Yorkshire tea in the kitchen downstairs and I said, well, there is going to be a robbery because I will be stealing some of that.
	So I don't know whose it is, but yeah, I prefer Tetley's myself, but Yorkshire.
	Oh, hang on, hang on, hang on, hang on.
	Let's go completely on a tangent now.
	Let's go down the rabbit hole right now.
	Have you ever had Thai food tea spelled T-Y-F-H-O-O?
	Of course.
	Oh my gosh.
	This was actually a gift that we bought in Britain for my grandfather who was Scottish.
	When we went to Britain we got a bunch of Thai food tea and he had that for like a year
	and we just drank Thai food tea when we would go to my grandfather's house.
	So here's some behind the scenes, open the kimono stuff.
	I'm not a big coffee drinker.
	I do like real, real quality coffee, like Segafredo or Illy, but that's hard to find.
	I'll drink Turkish coffee, because that's what my parents drank when I was a kid in England, obviously.
	I'll explain that later.
	But when I wake up in the morning, my ritual has been, since I met Katie 20 years ago, 30 years ago, is industrial strength, British working class tea.
	It's typhoo.
	I will mail you some if you miss it.
	When I worked in college, in college, I was a furniture mover, right?
	So I worked with a gang of guys who come with a big 18 wheeler, we'd pack up your house, and And then we'd move you to the other side of England or whatever, and we'd start the day in a greasy spoon with bangers, sausages, bacon, baked beans, fried slice, and some black pudding, and some industrial-strength Thai food tea, and, man, you can't beat it.
	A cup of tea in the morning, Chris.
	You've got to have too much milk and maybe a little too much sugar sometimes.
	Correct.
	For it to be a proper British cup of tea.
	So can I help you out?
	Can I send you to your secret location some Thai food tea, Chris?
	Oh, absolutely.
	Please do.
	All right.
	We'll talk about that later.
	We'll get the details later.
	All right.
	So talk to us about... I think we should probably talk about this movie at some point.
	It's Lethal Weapon 2.
	Why did you choose this movie?
	Are you a big fan of the franchise in general?
	Yeah, you know, when I watch these movies, I watch them kind of all in a row.
	I'd seen, you know, off and on Lethal Weapon, but at one point in my adult life, I said, you know what, I gotta sit, I just gotta sit down and watch Lethal Weapon.
	I watched it, I thought, this is a great film, I'm gonna watch the next one.
	And over the course of like a week, I think I watched every Lethal Weapon film.
	Just some of the funniest, best action, you know, action comedy films of all time.
	And I actually forgot how good this was, the second one.
	And let me just say, this is going to be kind of a bombshell here, ladies and gentlemen.
	I actually think, and this is a bizarre statement to say about a sequel film.
	No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
	No, we're going to do editing, live editing.
	Don't go there, Chris Coles.
	I think I know what you're going to say.
	Go ahead.
	I think this is my favorite film we've reviewed.
	Wow.
	That's even worse than I expected.
	That's even worse than I expected.
	I thought he was going to say it's better than the first one.
	All right.
	Well, you're good.
	It may be better than the first one.
	It may be better than the first one.
	But more importantly, I just absolutely had a blast watching this movie.
	Well, clearly, I mean, you know, Casablanca, Pikers, you know, Star Wars, Pikers, the whole James Bond series, just a bunch of rank amateurs.
	Who is that Ian Fleming and that Sean Connery guy, anyway?
	It's going to be a buddy cop movie sequel from 1989, clearly, and he's going to justify that.
	I don't know how the heck he's going to do it, but he's going to try.
	I'm Sebastian Gorka, he's Chris Coles.
	Follow him on Twitter, but also on YouTube, his amazing channels, Mr. Reagan and The Alpha Critic.
	And it is that time of year, if you want to give back a little, one of the most beautiful things you can do is to support the Prison Fellowship Angel Tree Summer Camps.
	Listen to one of the campers who, well, this young man who has a father in prison, Joseph, he's the kind of child you're helping when you donate to the Angel Tree.
	I will write to my dad about what happened and one Christmas gift I got from Angel Tree was a drawing pad.
	That was my favorite I got.
	I also got paint and colored pencils.
	I knew he knew what I wanted and he got the right thing.
	My name's Joseph and I love Angel Tree.
	That's Joseph, and he went to the Angel Tree Summer Camp for boys and girls across America.
	There are millions of them who've lost a mother or father to the prison system.
	It's only $200 per child per week at these summer camps where they get to feel loved and get introduced to the message of the Bible and Jesus' love for them.

	Alright, come in with the Frozen P advert.
	Thanks for watching!
	Thanks for watching!
	Freeze it.
	Freeze the image.
	Bring it back.
	I want to see that image, because I want to see Chris's face.
	He's very, very confused.
	He's very confused.
	He doesn't know what the heck Gawker is doing.
	So Birdseye, keep playing it, then freeze it at the end.
	Birdseye is a function of my childhood.
	It's the British frozen food monopoly.
	Whether it was fish fingers, fish sticks, or peas, or carrots, every kid ate them.
	And do you recognize who that little girl is at the end of that ad, Chris?
	Well, I can only presume it is the female lead of our amazing film that we're reviewing today.
	Yeah, Patsy Kensett, who plays Erika, the secretary from the consulate, was a bit of a heartthrob for millions of men my age.
	She was a teeny bopper.
	She was a child actress to begin with.
	Then she had her own pop band, Teenie Bopper Pop Band, and then became a relatively successful TV actress, and then eventually this was her big breakout appearance as The Squeeze to a Mel Gibson.
	I think this is the real reason you like this movie, Chris.
	I do like this woman.
	There were some aspects of her that were kind of familiar to me for some reason.
	But also, I had a jacket just like this when I met my ex-wife.
	You mean like the sports jacket?
	Yeah, like a letterman's jacket.
	I gave it to my wife the first day I met her because she was cold, and she wore it just like the chick in the movie.
	And then my ex-wife was murdered by a South African drug dealer, so it was like so reminiscent.
	Why did you have your home shot up by helicopters first is the question.
	Yeah.
	Oh, no.
	It was terrible.
	The whole movie, I was just like, what is going on?
	It's like deja vu.
	It was crazy.
	No, the jacket part is real.
	The jacket part is real.
	I need me one of those Leatherman jackets.
	Quintessential Americana.
	Let's play the clip we're playing right now with some sound because this is when he follows her from the consulate to the grocery store to move in with a little bit of Mel Gibson charm.
	I, uh, I forgot your first name.
	Rika.
	Rika.
	Rika van Hagendaas.
	Nice green name.
	No, Van Den Haas.
	It's Dutch.
	Yeah, that's a real pretty name.
	Well, either you got a rabbit at home or that's your dinner.
	It's mine.
	Yeah?
	Shop one day at a time, do you?
	Good police work, officer.
	Well, yeah, I could pay for that sort of thing.
	Well, there's no point shopping for the entire week.
	No?
	Why not?
	I never know what I'll be hungry for from one day to the next.
	Oh, wait, wait, wait.
	Have dinner with me.
	No.
	Come on, have dinner with me.
	I got a nice place.
	It's down on the beach.
	It's right on the sand, in fact.
	A good view out of every window.
	Beautiful sunset every night.
	Please, no.
	Come on, be original.
	Say yes.
	Everyone else says no.
	Come on.
	Smooth operator, smooth operator, and she's never been accused of being the world's most Shakespearean actress, but a pretty good accent, a pretty good South African accent from Patsy Kensett.
	Tell us why.
	I can't get over what you said here.
	How many movies have we reviewed, Eric?
	This is our anniversary just a couple of weeks ago, so we must, because we did a couple of multi-movie episodes with James Bond and Star Wars.
	We must be pushing 60 movies, Eric, right?
	At least 55.
	Let me, I'll double check that.
	No, no, no.
	Just relax.
	55's a good number.
	Of 55 bloody classics, you think this is the best?
	Justify yourself, man.
	No, no, no.
	I didn't say it was the best.
	I said it's my favorite.
	It was my favorite to watch.
	And let me also, let me also just comment on that scene.
	So often, and I've said this before on the show, I think, so often writers in Hollywood, because they're kind of nerds, let's face it.
	Most writers are nerds.
	They cannot write It's charismatic meet-cutes between men and women.
	Hang on, is that a phrase?
	Meet-cutes?
	What is that?
	Yeah, meet cute is like when a boy and a girl like run into each other in a library or something like that in a movie.
	It's called a meet cute.
	And this is kind of a meet cute, even though he's stalking her.
	But normally it's so contrived.
	It's so artificial.
	It's, you know, when I was a kid watching these, I was like, really, is that how you talk to women?
	Well, no, it wasn't.
	It was how nerds thought cool guys talk to women.
	But this scene, I don't know how they did this.
	But this is like, this is how I would get a girl normally, trying to get a girl to go out on a date with me.
	This is the kind of conversation... So you'd walk up to her, grab her shopping basket and scream, hey lady, let go of my property.
	That's how you picked women up all the time.
	100%, 100%.
	Maybe not exactly that, but... There is something about it because his response is...
	There's something, I don't know, this is Shane Black, of course, who wrote the first Lethal Weapon, wrote Predator, very famous script writer.
	There's something very organic about his lines.
	They don't seem thought through.
	They really do seem, spur of the moment, I like this woman, and I'm going to just be a complete idiot here.
	Well, that's why I was saying, I'm not sure how they did this, because they may have, he may have tried different They may have tried different things.
	They might have written it to some degree in the moment.
	Some of the stuff you said might have been ad-lib because it was so naturalistic.
	It was absolutely perfect.
	And yeah, I don't think I've ever grabbed a woman's basket and let go of my basket.
	You crazy woman.
	But it's certainly similar to things that I have done.
	I mean, you know, just that playfulness.
	He could tell she likes him.
	He can tell she wants to go out with him.
	And he's like, don't let shouldn't stop you.
	You should come with me.
	And it's perfect.
	It's absolutely perfect.
	But look, the reason I love this, loved watching this film, I think at least in part, it's because I kind of forgot about it.
	Like a lot of the films that we've seen here, I've got them memorized, you know, Raiders of the Lost Ark.
	I've seen a thousand times, you know, the Star Wars films I've seen a thousand times.
	I think I've even seen the first lethal weapon film many times, but I don't think I've seen this film more than once.
	And I had actually forgotten just how dang good it is.
	Every joke basically works except for one at the end when he says, what did he say?
	He said something about being decaffeinated, which didn't work at all.
	Oh yeah, decaffeinated.
	So you're kefir.
	Yeah, they've been decaffeinated.
	Right, right.
	Because kefir was the word that the South Africans were using to, I guess as a slur for black people.
	It's a slur for a black person, yeah.
	But I don't think anybody outside South Africa knows that.
	So I think that initially is lost in the show when he says it.
	People don't understand what he's saying.
	And at the end, using it as a joke just didn't work at all.
	But besides the word kafir, which I think is lost on American audiences, almost every other joke is just killer.
	Everything is so beautiful.
	This relationship that these two men have, that's such a great relationship.
	The moment on the toilet, would you think a moment on the toilet?
	How is that a great scene?
	Truly one of the best scenes.
	Two guys, one of whom thinks he's going to die.
	You can tell these men love each other, just absolutely love each other in the old fashioned way that men for since the dawn of time have loved each other in this sort of paternal way.
	And you can tell somehow the acting is just so amazing.
	You really can tell that they care about each other that much.
	They don't even say what they mean.
	He just turns to him and he says, yeah, I know what you mean.
	You don't have to say anything.
	And it's such a great moment, it's just a beautiful scene.
	It is, that moment when he doesn't know whether he's going to survive and his buddy says, I'm going to stay here and if it kills me too, I don't care, but we don't have to say what we feel.
	We're just going to be here for each other and we're buddies.
	One of the reasons that scene in the supermarket might have worked, because I watched the blooper reel as well, Patsy Kenton in that scene, they had to take it again and again and again because she couldn't pronounce her name, right?
	The Haagen-Dazs or whatever.
	She kept getting it wrong and she corpsed and she just kept laughing and laughing.
	I think it's that, you know, that atmosphere of doing it again and again and again and laughing, which might have worked.

	We've talked about the good guys in Lethal Weapon, Merton Riggs, now let's talk about the bad guys.
	But first things first, if you enjoy making movies great again, support those who make it possible.

	So, the villains here are just great.
	I mean, you know, Apartheid is still around for the next two years,
	evil regime, and we have Joss Atkin, very, very successful British theater and TV and movie
	actor.
	And then we have the lead villain behind him.
	I didn't know it was Irish.
	I knew Josh was English.
	His accent is superb.
	The Irish head heavy there is an Irish, the head South African heavy there is an Irish actor.
	Good villains.
	In a movie like this, you've got to have good villains.
	And we had some pretty solid ones here, didn't we, Chris?
	Oh, absolutely.
	Phenomenal.
	Let me just take a selfish moment to say, you can also find me on Rumble now.
	I've decided to start uploading my show on Rumble.
	Yes.
	And it's doing relatively well.
	So if you hate YouTube, because they are really the real life villains, just like the villains
	here in this movie, you can catch me on Rumble.
	But let me just say, these guys...
	Hang on, hang on, hang on.
	First things first, I need to know, is it both of your channels?
	Is it Toxic Masculinity?
	What are you doing on Rumble?
	Right now it's just Mr. Reagan.
	Nice.
	We may switch the Toxic Masculinity show to Rumble, but that's going to be maybe in the next couple of weeks.
	We're going to work on that.
	YouTube!
	Let's follow Chris on Rumble.
	You know how fascistic YouTube is?
	So they nuked me from space three years ago.
	I can't have a channel because they believe in, you know, freedom of speech.
	A friend of mine, the Trigonometry Boys, had me debate Destiny on their YouTube channel.
	Massively popular video in just the first two days.
	Within 48 hours, because I was one of the debate partners in the video, YouTube demonetized the video.
	Not my channel!
	You are kidding me.
	Not my channel!
	Demonetized.
	Oh my god.
	Okay, you know what's funny?
	It's an interesting question.
	I wish we could just do a poll for your radio listeners right now or your Rumble viewers.
	Which is worse?
	The executives at YouTube or the racist South African drug dealers Uh, in Lethal Weapon 2, because I'm not sure.
	It's like, it's borderline, I think, at this point.
	But no, they did a great job with the villains on this show.
	They're all absolutely detestable.
	If you've not seen the movie, one of the villains actually turns out to be the man that killed Riggs's wife.
	Yes.
	Many years ago, which makes you just hate him even more.
	And listen, the reality is this is a movie where Democrat political, you know, activist, director Richard Donner decided to infuse his film with some political messaging.
	He's against the apartheid.
	He's against, you know, fishing for tuna.
	He's against fur.
	He's against fur.
	But here's the thing.
	He injected his political agenda into the movie, and the movie is still unbelievably good.
	And you know why?
	Because he didn't cram it down people's throats.
	He just made a great movie, and he was able to sort of layer it with some of this stuff in an elegant way.
	So if woke Hollywood wants to inject some of their leftist Garbage into our films or TV shows that we're consuming every day.
	They can do it well.
	This is proof of that.
	But they just, they've forgotten that their job really is to tell great stories.
	But let's be clear here.
	Why does it work here?
	I mean, Don is a bit of a weirdo.
	We know that.
	I mean, he did the, you know, they allowed him to come back after his big argument with Ilya Salkind and the producers of Superman.
	So they fired him halfway through that.
	And so he never got to finish Superman 2 and they had to bring in his friend to finish it.
	Well, they brought Donna back.
	20 years later, and they let him release the director's cut of Superman II.
	And they did a behind-the-scenes documentary with Donna.
	And the ass is sitting there talking about Superman, one of the most important movies of popular culture, with this massive pin that says fur with a red line through it.
	And I go, dude, this is for kids.
	This is for me, who was eight years old, And watch Superman in the movie theaters.
	Just leave your stinking politics out of the documentary, will you?
	Go and make a film about that, okay?
	He kind of lost the plot.
	Because back here, what you said is so true.
	Nothing's rammed down your throat.
	We know South Africa is wrong.
	The villains are South African drug dealers with diplomatic immunity.
	And the scene in the consulate Where Danny Glover applies for an immigration visa, but he's black, isn't a politically aggressive scene.
	It's funny!
	You know, he walks in.
	It's a funny scene.
	Meet Alpha, or, you know, meet Adolf, or what, you know.
	And he says, he's Blick.
	I mean, it's funny.
	It's not preachy.
	This is what they have forgotten in Hollywood.
	Now it's two hours of preaching.
	Correct.
	Yeah.
	Yeah.
	And the dolphin thing as well is pretty funny, right?
	Because it's these two men who don't know anything about it.
	I hadn't heard about this.
	Right.
	Raising Murtaugh.
	And they're there in the house with Murtaugh's wife and daughter.
	And they're like, Dad, you're not allowed to eat tuna because of the dolphins.
	And just like a normal husband and father, he's like, All right.
	I guess, you know, whatever.
	You know, it's exactly how a man would be in that situation with his wife and daughter nagging him.
	Yes.
	And so you can get away with this stuff if you present it in a way that rings true to the audience.
	Right.
	And they just don't do that anymore.
	Instead, they they they cast, you know, there's a show now I don't want to digress called I was based on a video game.
	It's it's pretty Oh, I know the one.
	What's the new one?
	Eric?
	A fallout, right?
	fallout.
	Thank you.
	Yeah, so much.
	Thanks so much.
	fallout.
	And in the early scenes, they have a trans man.
	So it's a woman pretending to be a guy And this is Jonathan Nolan.
	So it's Christopher Nolan's brother.
	It's beautifully shot film.
	It's a series, but I'm having trouble watching it.
	I feel like it's a little bit slow.
	It's a little bit boring, but I haven't finished it.
	So maybe it's amazing.
	But there's this, in the first episode, there's this troop of all men.
	It's all men.
	And then there's one woman, but the woman's got her hair shaved real close.
	And I'm pretty sure she's trying to be a man.
	I'm like, is this a trans guy?
	The transgender man, and they're trying to pass her off as a guy.
	And you know, the instant you see her in this squad of men, you say, uh, that's not a guy.
	But the weird thing is, I called my buddy, who's a big fan of the Far Cry, not Far Cry, so it's a different set of games, Fallout games, love these games.
	So he ended up watching the Fallout show.
	And I said to him, I don't understand why people aren't more annoyed that they're trying to shove this This agenda crap at us and pass off this woman as a guy.
	And he goes, Oh, I literally just thought it was a woman because I didn't even it didn't even occur to me that they were.
	I just thought it was like a tomboy.
	And she was in a relationship with this guy or he had a crush on her or something.
	He's like, I had no idea they were trying to pass an officer.
	That's how non-passing, you know, they call it passing.
	That's how non-passing she is.
	It didn't even occur to him that it was supposed to be a guy.
	Obviously, we're in politics and we think about these things, but yeah, he didn't even think about that.
	Yeah, it's like, what was it, The Last of Us, the zombie TV show that's also based on a computer game and there's a fleeting mention in the game of this gay couple and they take that mention and they do a 50 stinking minute episode On this gay love affair.
	And you think, you know, I'm not interested in it.
	I don't care what you're doing at home in your bedroom.
	But I know the fans who played the computer game don't give a crap about two guys falling in love.
	And it's like, just get off your high horse, you cretins and make good stories.
	Like this one!
	It's called Lethal Weapon 2!

	Master, uh, uh, Master Race.
	Ladies and gentlemen.
	Hi.
	Hi.
	Don't bother to call the police.
	They're here already.
	Oh, well.
	It's the master race.
	Gentlemen, show Officer Riggs into the street.
	I'm surprised you haven't heard about me.
	You know, I got a bad reputation.
	I mean, sometimes I just go nuts like now.
	Just get out of here.
	Caffa lover.
	Beanie?
	Eeny...
	meeny...
	miny...
	AIM ON!
	Hey, sorry, Ada.
	I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
	Oh Come on, with your hands.
	Big smile. Big smile. Big smile!
	Meanie, mighty, able, uh, go.
	Goes back straight to the beginning.
	I don't know for you, Chris, but this takes you back to the first Lethal Weapon, the first scene, the drug buy in the Christmas tree lot, and he does the face slapping and, you know, goes crazy and then pulls out his badge and his gun.
	One of the appealing things about the Riggs character, Sergeant Riggs, is, well, He's really Shakespearean on one level because he's really tragic.
	I mean this is a tragic, tragic hero.
	The first time we meet him, what do we learn of him?
	Straight away.
	That he's a widower.
	That his wife is dead.
	That he's at home in his trailer with his dog, literally chewing on the barrel of a gun, contemplating whether his life is worth living.
	So that's the first movie.
	And then in this one, he loses the squeeze within, what, you know, 24 hours of falling in love with her.
	And beyond the tragic nature of the hero, This is one of the few representations, tell me if I'm missing something similar, of a protagonist, a hero, who you believe is nuts.
	I mean, after she, after Patsy Kensington is killed, when Murtaugh intercepts him on the way to, you know, get the bad guys, and he's got his baseball cap on, that thousand yard stare, that Mel Gibson does, you realize this is a dangerous man,
	he doesn't give a crap, he doesn't care about the law, and he is out for revenge.
	So this is a hero who's tragic and also a bit flipping crazy.
	Oh, and it's a great moment when you see Murtaugh, you know, they finish the call.
	Murtaugh pulls out his badge and then just puts it away in the drawer.
	I love that moment because he's like, all right, I'm with you.
	You know, and I just love, you know, this story is so, it's kind of the, it's a weird thing because I think that Men need those relationships, really, in life.
	Like, I have a brother, and I have a few friends that I consider really close friends.
	You being one of them, Sebastian Gorka.
	It's mutual, buddy.
	And the thing is, it's like, I don't think our society cares about that anymore.
	We don't talk about that anymore.
	We don't put it in our movies, in our media.
	The news media doesn't talk about that.
	We just demonize men.
	We talk about how toxic they are.
	That's why I have this show, Toxic Masculinity, with a couple of buddies of mine.
	But it's so critical that men can have those relationships where we love each other.
	We care about each other.
	But, you know, it's it's this it's a very unique kind of affection, a kind of brotherhood that you have with a guy.
	And like there's they do it so beautifully in this movie.
	It's a black and a white guy, which actually you don't even think about really in the movie.
	But I suppose in the 80s, maybe it was a thing.
	I don't know.
	But I didn't even really think about it until this moment.
	I was just thinking about how, you know, Murtaugh's sitting on the toilet and you've got Riggs sitting there, you know, looking into his eyes thinking, I'm going to try to save your life or I'm going to die with you, man.
	And what's weird is in that moment, and they do this a lot in this film, they'll be in a situation where they think one of them might die, or one of them they think maybe is dying, like at the end of the film, and they start to make jokes.
	And why do they do that?
	Because that's what men really do.
	And it makes you laugh as the audience.
	And then there's a moment usually where they're making the jokes, And then they get serious for a second.
	Right.
	And you believe it.
	You go, OK, you know what?
	Because they're kind of taking off the mask.
	You know, we all kind of have we joke around and we put on these masks that we're fine.
	But really, maybe it's a serious situation.
	Maybe we're not so fine.
	Maybe we are upset about it.
	Maybe it is something that we should maybe not be joking about.
	But that's how we do it.
	That's how we deal with it.
	And then in a more serious moment, we take the mask off and we show what we're really thinking.
	And they do that again and again in this film.
	And it really works, and I don't know if it could have worked with other actors.
	These guys are just so dang good.
	Yeah, it's funny.
	I always make my notes on my phone as I'm watching the movies each week, and one of the notes I make is, gets off phone, takes off badge, puts it on desk.
	And you know, this is the key thing.
	So I we could spend many episodes on this issue.
	So one of the most profound things you've ever said, in all of your, you know, scores of appearances on on my shows, is a man always has to have the potential to be lethal.
	Because walking down the street, Everybody's fine, but the next guy could be a mugger, could want to rape your girlfriend, whatever.
	So a man always has to be, I think you said, has to be the last resort if necessary.
	And that's absolutely true.
	It's like Jordan Peterson says, a man has to be lethal, has to be deadly, but he has to control it, but he has to know when to apply it.
	And the relationship between Riggs and Murtaugh, and every man has to have this, I'm sorry, I don't care whether it's one guy or, you know, three guys, you have to have the guy Who you make the phone call to and he says, I need your help now.
	And there are no questions asked.
	There's none need.
	There's no justification needed.
	I'm going to do something and I need your assistance.
	And the assistance is provided.
	The badge is put down and you go to the aid of your friend.
	And then there's that moment when he intercepts him before the final battle.
	And Murtagh says, we don't have the authority.
	And then, what does Riggs do?
	He rattles off the names of the six police officers who've just been murdered.
	And he says, is that enough effing authority?
	That!
	That's the toxic masculinity that saves civilizations.
	That's why these movies are so incredibly important to us.
	All right, what else do we have to talk about?
	We have to have final thoughts, alternative endings.
	I'll share with you how successful this movie was.
	This is Lethal Weapon 2, making movies great again with our buddy, host on YouTube of the superlative Mr. Reagan and the Alpha Critic channels, as well as the series of livestream toxic masculinity shows.
	I'm Sebastian Gawker.
	This is America First.
	If you have a cell phone, do your part.
	To not aid and abet our enemies?
	What do you mean, Dr. G?
	It's really that simple!
	If you've got a cell phone and you're a client of one of the big cell phone providers, you know the big guys.
	You're literally funding those who hate America.
	The big cell phone companies are leftwing their work.
	For example, they give millions of dollars every year to causes like Planned Parenthood, to gun control foundations, to organizations who are censoring and trying to cancel conservatives.
	Do not fund the left.
	With every call you make and every text you send.
	That's insanity.
	There's only one Christian Conservative Cell Phone Company.
	It's the one I use.
	It's Patriot Mobile.
	They have the same nationwide coverage as the big boys.
	A performance guarantee.
	Glenn and his team are superb.
	You'll get free activation with my name.
	You keep your old number, keep your old phone or get an upgrade.
	But don't fund the left.
	Patriot Mobile is on your side.
	Call right now.

	All right, come in with Patsy again, please.
	Yeah.
	Take these dogs away from me!

	not scared.
	For those of you who didn't get enough of her in Lethal Weapon 2 before she was given short shrift by the set Africans, she was a bit of a popette pop star in the UK.
	We are of course reviewing Lethal Weapon 2.
	At the choice of our co-host, Mr. Reagan, a.k.a., well, the other way around, Chris Coles, a.k.a., Mr. Reagan.
	If you want to have sanity in the White House, prosperity and security back, let's have the man's back who is being targeted by those who hate America.
	Get the yard sign, get the t-shirt, get the mug with his mugshot from Atlanta.
	It just says Trump 2024.

	Alright, one name we have not mentioned, maybe for good reason, is a certain diminutive accountant called Leo.
	Play the cut.
	Police, open up.
	How do I know it's the police?
	After I shoot you through the door, you can examine the bullet.
	Open up.
	Don't you even want to see a badge?
	Okay, let me see a badge.
	Shut up!
	Okay, I get it.
	Bad cop, good cop.
	Shut up!
	Okay, okay, okay.
	Bad cop, bad cop.
	I got it.
	I know all those routines.
	You're Leo Goetz?
	Yes, sir.
	Yes, sir, that's me, Leo Goetz.
	Whatever you need, Leo Goetz.
	You get it?
	I use that all the time to break the ice when I meet people.
	You know, it's good.
	I'm Sgt.
	Murtaugh, this is Sgt.
	Riggs.
	How are you doing?
	Nice to meet you.
	Okay, so what do I call you guys?
	Sgt.
	Murtaugh, Sgt.
	Riggs.
	Alright, does this work?
	I mean, he'll come back in the next movies and so forth.
	I know they're adding a new dynamic, the comic relief.
	It is the great Joe Pesci.
	What do you think of this addition to the team?
	Yeah.
	You know, when I was younger and I the first time I think I watched this film, I thought I didn't really like the Joe Pesci character.
	I found that he was annoying.
	But sometimes it's good to do that.
	You know, you do end up liking him by the end of the film, I feel like.
	And it is rare that such an annoying character can be at all lovable.
	But I do think there is a kind of charm there.
	And I will say, it's nice to have a character that is in stark contrast to these guys,
	because these guys are pretty cool guys.
	But like in the first movie, kind of everybody was cool.
	And so they didn't stand out, but this guy is what we call a character foil, right?
	So he shows the contrast between, you know, what a normal guy might be like,
	and these guys who are kind of super cool.
	There's another part of the movie I didn't like when I watched it previously,
	which was that I really didn't like that the girl dies.
	Oh my gosh, oh my gosh, I forgot this.
	I forgot to mention this, you're a genius.
	So I'm pissed at this movie for that reason.
	I never got over it when I first saw her die.
	Dead underwater.
	And I still don't get it.
	Shane Black was going through some very difficult stuff at the time, personally.
	But I don't care.
	That's not an excuse.
	That's like Spielberg getting divorced.
	No, it wasn't Shane Black's choice.
	Whose was it?
	He wrote that she lived.
	Oh, that's right.
	And he wrote that Riggs dies.
	Yes, they wanted to kill him off at the end.
	They changed that.
	But I'm sorry.
	This is unnecessary for me.
	Killing Rika is just wrong.
	But you know what?
	In hindsight, I'm watching the movie again and I realize it is the perfect motivation for him to just absolutely lose it and go ballistic at the end.
	So in terms of narrative, it was actually a very smart thing to do.
	And you really hate the villains and you really want justice to be served at the end.
	And that moment When Murtaugh's pointing the gun at the villain, you know, at this diplomat that has diplomatic immunity, that they cannot kill, that they cannot harm, that they cannot give a traffic ticket to, as he said.
	And he yells, diplomatic immunity!
	You can't kill me.
	And Murtaugh's like... Hey, hey, stop, stop, stop.
	Don't steal the thunder, Eric.
	Hit it.
	diplomatic immunity it's just been revoked
	that's Shane Black I'm sorry, that's Shane Black.
	And the focus pull on the gun, everything about that scene is just perfect.
	And it's, you know, it's very satisfying.
	And there's a moment where you think that Riggs is going to let the guy go that killed his wife, and you're like, why would you let that guy go?
	And then he slams the button to release this, uh, you know, what do you call it?
	Yeah, a crate of some kind.
	Yeah.
	And then it just falls on the guy, crushes him.
	And that's very satisfying as well.
	Some people in movies you just want to see die.
	You know, you can't talk about certain politicians that you want to see dead on Twitter, but you can talk about movie characters.
	And that's the great thing about movies, right?
	It's a sort of fantasy fulfillment.
	Kind of thing.
	There's all we all have people that we kind of think sometimes, man, it would be nice if that guy would just get a shipping container dropped on him.
	But in the movies, we could actually see it happen.
	Yeah, these are pretty detestable people.
	So, you were right.
	They actually had two scripts with two endings.
	One in which Riggs is killed and then the one they actually filmed to facilitate more sequels.
	Who else do we have to mention?
	Vasquez from Aliens is in this.
	The female police officer.
	She gets blown up on the diving board.
	Probably the most hilarious death in the whole movie.
	One of James Cameron's favourite actors.
	Anybody else we've forgotten, Eric?
	Who do we have to give an honourable mention to?
	Another officer in the movie is played by Grand L. Bush, who was one of the two Agent Johnsons in the original Die Hard.
	Correct, correct, correct, correct.
	The one who's actually killed at home by the South Africans doing exercises or something.
	The movie was massive success, $30 million to produce.
	230 million in takings.
	And what is left for us?
	Any final thoughts before we grade and evaluate it?
	I think we have a unit of measure that is non-negotiable.
	It must be Kruger Reins.
	Well, you know, this movie has had a massive cultural impact.
	I don't think people notice it because people forget how darn good Lethal Weapon 2 was.
	And because it's the second movie in a series of four, I think it kind of gets lost in the shuffle.
	But if you have ever played the game, Grand Theft Auto five, the very beginning of the game, you
	actually pull down one of these Hollywood Hills homes on still Yeah, yeah, they
	ripped it totally off from lethal weapon to like, like, almost exactly. I was going to
	actually write Eric and have him like grab a clip but there's so much swearing in the clip,
	they would have you guys have There's a lot of F-words in this movie.
	A lot of F-words.
	Well, no, no, no.
	In the Grand Theft Auto clip, I was going to have to do a side-by-side.
	I was going, hey, should we do this?
	But Grand Theft Auto is a pretty dirty game, if you want to put it that way.
	But it's weird.
	Like, yeah, this film, I think, did definitely inspire a lot of stuff.
	I think it was the third highest grossing film of the year.
	It was a very popular movie.
	I think it made the most domestic box office of any of them.
	Very, very popular film.
	But I want to know something.
	I'm going to kind of put you on the spot.
	There's a couple of questions I wanted to ask you.
	The first question was, I'm surprised you didn't mention the guns, because there's some interesting guns in this film.
	Oh, you're right.
	Well, I did wake up at 4 a.m.
	in Detroit, so it's been a long, long day.
	So, nice H&K Heckler & Koch guns here.
	MP5K in a shoulder rig the South Africans were carrying.
	So, decent hardware.
	Decent hardware all around.
	The other question I had to ask, you spent a couple days in New York, and I haven't really got to hear the lowdown on that.
	You were at court with Trump.
	How was it?
	I'm still angry.
	Just being in court just made you angry?
	No, seeing somebody who's meant to be an impartial judge tell the defendant's very polite attorney, this is Judge Juan Merchan, sit down.
	I don't want to hear from you again.
	The defense attorney.
	You know what my brother said to me today?
	We were talking about you being over there in New York with Trump, supporting Trump in this One of the darkest hours, I think, of the country ever.
	You know, this is obviously this is not just lawfare.
	This is corruption of the worst possible kind.
	And you're there and you are witnessing history.
	I mean, this is history.
	This is this is the corruption of America.
	And you're standing there with Trump, you know, showing your support for, I think, the right side of history.
	Well, it's not what I think.
	I mean, this is obviously true.
	And you're trying to save the country.
	You're trying to save You know, the Republic and everything that we believe in all around the world and it's
	I mean, what an important, powerful thing to do.
	So it's amazing that you went there to New York to support Trump, and I think it's a great thing.
	You are a quintessential gentleman.
	You didn't have to mention that at all.
	We're here to have fun and review movies.
	I said this two weeks ago.
	My guys haven't done it.
	I know you're a very busy guy as well.
	But before we review our next movie, we're almost out of time.
	You're so gracious to do that.
	Let's discuss what I witnessed.
	Let's have you come back on to do what you're so good at, which isn't just review movies, but to do political and cultural analysis.
	So guys, this guy works so much for us because he gets paid the big bucks to do so.
	We pay nothing.
	Let's get you back, Chris, to discuss all of these things at the beginning of next week.
	In the meantime, we've got a few seconds left.
	Thank you for doing that.
	10 Krugerrands is the unit that we can maximally give.
	You said this is your favorite movie.
	For a modern audience, how many Krugerrands does it rate?
	Oh, it's 10 out of 10.
	I mean, anybody who watches this movie is going to love it.
	I mean, I'm sure there's people who will find flaws and faults in the movie and they'll be like, oh, this is like too formulaic or some nonsense like that.
	But you know what?
	It's just a great time.
	It's an amazing film to watch.
	Everybody's going to love it.
	Alright, I don't know if you remember, Eric, what did I give the original Lethal Weapon?
	Because for me, this isn't quite as tight as the OG Lethal Weapon, which I probably gave, what, an 8 to?
	I was gonna say an 8, yeah.
	I had to guess.
	So I can't... I gotta go...
	I'm gonna go 7, because I love Lethal Weapon, the sequel's not quite as tight, and they killed Patsy Kensett and that's just wrong, so I'll give it a 7 out of 10.
	Next week, I was gonna choose another movie, but one of our listeners kind of just sabotaged me, I guess I'll have to wait two weeks to review that.
	Eric, who was the listener who wrote in, or the super chat, what's his name, do you remember?
	The super chat was by, I believe it was LJGreywolf who gave $2 and reminded us May 31st, which is next Friday.
	It is going to be the 94th birthday of Clint Eastwood, and we pretty much are obligated to do a Clint Eastwood movie at that point.
	I think that's actually true.
	He appears every time we review movies in the opening credits, so we're going to interview the documentary about a certain Sergeant Harry Callaghan, Dirty Harry.
	Are you ready, Chris, for a little bit of San Francisco justice, Dirty Harry style?
	When I asked you last week if you wanted me to do a fun one or a serious one, this was the alternative.
	No!
	Oh my gosh.
	My brother from another mother.
	Superb, superb, superb.
	Go off and watch Lethal Weapon 2 if you haven't seen it.
	And for next week, a classic.
	A man's got to know his limitations.
	Do you feel lucky?
	Well, do ya?
	Wherever you are, whatever you're doing, keep your head in the swivel, watch the six, hold the line, never give up, never give in.
