| Copy link to current segment

Time Text
So, I'm going to go ahead and get started.
I'm going to go ahead and get started.
The question was asked, I would vote for a convicted felon for president of the United
States.
Ninety-one percent say yes, and then Keith and a few stragglers say no.
So, ninety-one percent of the people say yes, and I don't know if that's because they think that's kind of a bogus conviction or if they think it's a white-collar conviction or something, that's something we need to drill down on, but ninety-one percent of the people say they would.
I know that guy's famous.
I don't really know who he is and how important he is, but Eric prepared a couple of cuts.
Jeff has some cuts of Dr. Phil's interview with President Trump.
So we're going to share them with you because...
Even I find them interesting.
Welcome, dear friends.
It's Friday.
The weekend is here.
Let's ask Dr. G anything.
It's the Second Amendment.
The number is 833... Oh, and it's making movies great again.
833-33-GORGOTH.
It's 833-334-6752.
Jeff, if I'm a Martian and I've just landed on Earth, what do I need to know about Dr. Phil?
Dr. Phil was big in like the early 2000s to like maybe 2014-2015.
He was on Oprah almost every other day and then he ended up getting like a spinoff show from that.
And he's what, like a self-help psychiatrist kind of thing?
It's like a Jerry Springer without the black eyes?
It was a little bit, I think more than that, yeah.
He was kind of like the self-help Kind of like what Dr. Oz was, medical.
Like Dr. Oz kind of spun off of that too.
Okay.
Eric, is this guy a big deal?
I know he just signed a big deal with the TBN Broadcast Network.
Is he an influencer?
I absolutely think so.
When I saw that poll, my jaw absolutely hit the floor.
Because his audience is like, it's not a MAGA audience.
It's Normie Central.
These people are not even really political, let alone left-right.
These are the people who watch daytime TV.
Good Morning America, Jeopardy, Wheel of Fortune.
They barely know much about politics.
So when 91%, it's not like 60, 40, 91% say they're ready to vote for Trump despite this conviction, that is, that moment right there, with five months to go now before the election, has me convinced, at this moment, Trump is now in outvote-the-fraud territory, for the time being.
All right, we're going to be talking about outvote-the-fraud territory, but let's put that in our thesaurus.
What did you say, Normie Central?
It's going to be one of our phrases for the show.
It's Normie Central.
Let's listen to one of the members of the Dr. Phil Normie Central audience, who has come to a realization, or her liberal friends have, that Biden?
Not so much.
Um, I was just thinking about when they ran the first time together or the second time and President Biden won.
I had a lot of, I have a lot of Republican friends and a lot of Democratic friends.
I'm kind of neutral, but they talked about good versus evil.
And I thought, well, we're not really in a Disney movie, so I don't understand.
I, you know, you may not like him.
I get that.
Um, but now four years later, the same people I know that have said these things say, I'm really upset with my 401k.
I'm upset when I go to the grocery store and they're all voting for Trump now.
Feels good, right?
That's that Friday feeling.
We're going to make you feel good about it.
Let's listen to the cut that Eric likes the best, I think for obvious reason, also from Dr. Phil.
He asks the President about the dish that should best be served cold, aka revenge.
Cut seven.
I think you have so much to do, you don't have time to get even.
You only have time to get right.
Well, revenge does take time.
I will say that.
It does.
And sometimes revenge can be justified, Phil.
I have to be honest.
Sometimes it can.
But is the country better or worse for them going after you?
I think the country is really worse for what they've done.
And I think you see that when you look at the poll numbers.
When you see that Almost 400 million dollars has poured in since this horrible decision was made.
That was a few days ago.
Revenge takes a long time, but we need it because it's not to get even, it's to get justice.
Can you play that as B-roll?
Oh my gosh, the calls are flooding in.
I'm going to take some calls, but just play that as B-roll.
It's so interesting.
Look at Phil.
Look at, you know, Alex.
Look at those two men and the way he talks and how measured it is.
Dr. Phil is younger than President Trump.
Isn't that interesting?
He's four years younger than the person he's interviewing and he doesn't look it.
What do you think, Eric?
It really is true what people have said.
Every other president that we know in modern history gets significantly older in office.
Trump just got younger.
Yeah, stunning.
The Benjamin Button effect.
Alright, we're running out of time for a monologue.
We have another 2 hours and 40 minutes to go with some amazing guests.
The Chair of the Freedom Caucus!
We're going to be talking to the Baron!
And we're going to be talking to Mr. Reagan, Chris Coles.
But let's squeeze in a few calls, because it is Friday.
Let's ask Dr. G anything.
Let's... Oh, and it's Second Amendment, and I think Randy wants to talk bang-bangs.
Let's go to Knoxville!
Hey there, Dr. Corker.
Hey, what's your question?
Yes, sir.
I'm looking for my wife.
I'm looking at this little .32 caliber Beretta Tomcat.
No!
No!
Okay.
For the love of God, don't buy her a mouse gun.
Nobody in the 21st century should be buying a .32 caliber anything.
Please.
Next you'll be saying I'll get a .25 ACP.
No, no.
They are wickedly unreliable.
They have no stopping power.
Get her a 9mm.
Get her something she can shoot that actually makes a difference.
Mouse guns are for hunting mice.
If she wants to hunt mice, yes.
But otherwise, no Tomcats, no Berettas, no .25 ACPs, no .32s.
For the love of everything sacred, get her a real gun.
I will take your advice on that, Dr. Gordon.
She likes her Zig P365.
Oh, everybody loves that.
It's like the hottest thing.
Yes, it's fine.
It had some very serious issues in the first run with the firing pins.
They fixed that in the first two years.
Now it's, you know, super sexy.
But what I recommend is go to car.
The car CM9, the car PM9, the gun I carry is superb.
There's a reason I agreed to have them as my sponsor.
It's tiny.
Look, it's the size of a PPK.
It's got a polymer frame, so it's even lighter.
And my one shoots like a flipping laser, Andy.
Go to KAHR.com, show them to your wife.
She can get one that's polymer.
She can get them with steel now.
They've made a double staggered magazine version for this year.
But the PM9s, the CM9s, I love these guns.
Go with a real caliber.
Look, I love 10mm, I love .45, but for a female who's just starting out, a 9mm CM9 or PM9, great question to start the day.
Randy in Knoxville.
Let's go with KAHR.com.
That's KAHR.com.
Alright, let's squeeze in... Judy!
Brooklyn!
Hey!
Hey!
Listen, hi, how are you, Dr. G?
I'm just listening.
It's not a matter of revenge for crying out loud.
It's justice!
It's a matter of corruption to straighten out the corruption.
There is so much corruption.
The lies, the corruption, my God.
And that's what it's all about.
Because if we don't straighten out on every level, education, this, that, justice, anything and anything, it's all corrupt.
And that's what needs to be done.
Very difficult job, but that's what it is.
It's not a matter of revenge.
You want to straighten out society.
You want to straighten out everything.
Get our country back.
We've got to go after the corruption.
Bingo.
You're right.
You're right.
And for that reason alone, and because, you know, you're one of the best, we're going to give you our new President Trump Outlaw President t-shirt.
It's the newest item.
It's his mugshot with the phrase Outlaw President 2024.
Judy's gonna get hers for free.

My name's Sebastian Gawker, America First, and leave us a five-star review.
We'll be back with none other than the chair of the Freedom Caucus.
You know, the good guys on Capitol Hill.
You can't find this bloody photograph of me and Victor Davis Hanson.
So we can mark down a car read now?
Nicely.
You want to post that whole segment?
Um, what did we start off with?
The whole Dr. Phil thing.
Yeah, yeah, the Phil thing, yeah.
And the collars, or cut out the collars.
Yeah, um, shocking stat.
No, leave the collar in.
Okay.
Um, Dr. Phil, uh, shocking pro-Trump reaction for Dr. Phil.
Mm-hmm.
Reaction for Dr. Phil.
Yes.
Are you ready to do Casio?
Yes.
Uh, three, four, five, eight.
And 13.
Go ahead.
Um, does anyone remember at Scaramucci?
He's trying to be relevant again by saying, uh, Steve Biden, Bannon Bannon, um, wants to go to prison.
What an epic loser.
Hey, Tony, where are those tapes you promised?
I don't know.
I'm going to go get some, just in case.
All right.
Thanks.
Bye.
I I will write to my dad about what happened.
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.
It always makes me smile, that clip always makes me smile.
That's Joseph, one of the Prison Fellowship Angel Tree summer campers, the children, the girls and boys who have lost a parent to the prison system.
With your support, your contributions, we sent thousands of these kids to safe Christian summer camps last summer in 49 of the 50 states.
We're getting close to breaking that record this year.
Will you be generous?
You heard the Lieutenant Governor of Texas when he heard me do this read on air, and I interviewed him afterwards about something else.
He donated $10,000.
You don't have to do that.
It's $200 per child per week, but if you can afford only $20 or $50, Make a difference.
These children are in danger.
More than 70% of them will end up in prison as well.
And we want to break that cycle by making them feel loved and introducing them to Jesus Christ.
You can donate today.
It is tax-deductible by calling the amazing Prison Fellowship on 888-206-2794 or just go to sebgawker.com and click on the Angel Tree banner.
Every single donation is a beautiful thing.
That's 888-206-2794 or just go to sebgorka.com and the Angel Tree banner.
All right, the cordboard is blown up, so Steve, Gene, Doug, Don, Antoinette, don't go anywhere,
but it's our first guest of the day. It's Friday and it's been a long time since we've
spoken to this gentleman. He is the chair of that gang of merry troublemakers,
the handful of patriots on Capitol Hill, the chair of the Freedom Caucus, Congressman Bob Good.
Welcome back to America First.
Great to be with you, Seb.
Thanks for having me again.
Alright, we need to talk about all kinds of things, what's happening inside the GOP, what happened to you and your path back to the president after endorsing Ron DeSantis.
But first things first, I'm excited.
I'm a resident of the Commonwealth.
My wife is now the chair for the GOP in the biggest county of the Commonwealth.
We're seeing reports, Bob, that Virginia could be in play!
Is this even remotely possible?
Well, I think the American people and Virginians have suffered enough under this president.
They recognize they connected to politics, they connected to bad policy, and they understand they can't handle four more years of Joe Biden.
Everyone's doing worse than they were four years ago when President Trump was president, except for the illegal aliens.
And so I do believe Virginia is in play, and I'm going to do everything I can to ensure President Trump is elected on November 5, and that we get him, obviously, a Senate majority and grow our House majority as well, so we can help enact his policies to an even greater degree than we were able to four years ago.
And what are you seeing as you travel your district, as you travel the Commonwealth?
My wife is doing a lot of engaging of communities who haven't been politically active, is seeing
a lot of minorities, especially Asians, saying, OK, there's something going on here.
We want to help.
Can we be volunteers?
Can we get people registered?
What is the issue?
Is it minorities waking up?
Is it the economy?
What's the biggest thing that you're seeing ignite Virginians for this election for President
Trump?
Well, in Virginia, obviously, people are suffering, as you've noted, the same way other people
are with the inflation, grocery prices, housing prices, gas prices, utility prices.
They're really being squeezed and they're really suffering, again, economically.
That, along with the border, even in Virginia's 5th District, you know, some more than a thousand miles away from the border, they recognize the irreparable harm that's been done by this president, not just the strain on our health agencies, our social services, our
education services, and those sorts of things, but also the irreparable harm that only
time will tell for these dangerous individuals, these unvetted individuals who have been
helped, helped into the country by this president intentionally.
And only time will tell when we have a Hamas-like action here within the country, a 9-11 on
steroids here in the country, because of the millions, literally millions of criminal gotaways,
most dangerous ones who've been helped in the country by this president.
All right, so it would be remiss of me if I didn't mention you were in the camp for DeSantis.
What was that about?
What happened?
And are you back in good standing with the boss?
Well, I'm doing, as I said, everything I can to help the president win.
I endorsed him in January.
I've often said over the last several years that he's the best president of my lifetime.
Obviously, we can't afford to continue the current track with the country.
And so, you know, I'm thankful to see people like Vivek Ramaswamy rumored to be in the cabinet, people like Tim Scott rumored to be a vice president.
The country, Republicans all need to come together and do everything we can do to help the president win.
And I'm certainly on board to do that.
Why isn't every person with the letter R behind his name standing on the steps of the Capitol and making a bigger deal out of the fact that the president could be in prison in a few weeks' time?
Yeah, it was my privilege about three weeks ago to go up to New York City to stand in the gap for him when he had that terrible gag order against him by this corrupt judge, trying to keep him from being able to make his defense to the American people and make his defense in the court of public opinion.
It's my privilege to lead 10 Freedom Caucus members up there to do that.
I'm going to continue to stand up and speak for him.
But you're right, every Republican ought to be doing it, and a lot of Republicans are, but everyone ought to be doing it.
And, you know, we ought to do everything we can.
Most importantly, Sebastian, here we are going through the funding of the government, the appropriations bills again.
We should do what we did not do a year ago, and that is to defund Biden's Department of Injustice, defund the FBI and start over.
But it takes courage from Republicans, and we don't have enough of those.
That's why I'm trying to help elect more Freedom Caucus members in these primaries and these general races.
And what's your message to those Republicans who think, ah, Trump is just an anomaly and after the next election we'll get back to business and we'll just do our old dealings with the Democrats.
What do you say to them, Congressman?
The Democrats are not even pretending anymore.
The way they've colluded with big tech to suppress our basic constitutional freedom of speech, the suppression of information, the weaponization of the DOJ and the FBI, the two-tier justice system, what happened under Dr. Fauci during the COVID pandemic.
The Dems aren't even pretending anymore.
Can you imagine what they would do if they had four more years?
President Trump was the most effective president of our lifetime.
No one got more done.
I think they get it.
They understand how harmful this President Joe Biden has been.
everybody needs to get behind him and swing voters, independents, moderates, I think they get it. They
understand how harmful this President Joe Biden has been.
The country's going to vote for change on November 5th. Follow this man right now.
He's one of the good guys at Rep Bob Good.
Oh, I didn't even realize I was doing a little joke there.
On Twitter, good.house.gov from the Commonwealth, the 5th Congressional District.
Keep that Freedom Caucus fighting, sir.

I'm.
I'm just going to tell you, he planned this, just so you know.
He thinks he's playing four-dimensional chess.
He wants to go to jail so that when he comes out of jail, he can say, this is lawfare, all that nonsense he was spewing in front of the court.
And he wants to have a retribution movement that isn't grounded in due process or isn't grounded in facts.
And so that's right out of a fascist playbook.
He has to be called out on that.
So, what is the mooch the saying?
Who's he talking about there, Jeff?
Who's he discussing there?
Uh, Steve Bannon.
So he said, going to prison is out of the fascist playbook.
That's the part I had to leave in.
Yes.
Oh my gosh.
How could I have...
There's a few people I'd like to have revenge on for just being pathetic.
Is that bad?
I don't think that's pathetic.
I think it's even worse.
He can't get over the grudge.
He's just a pathetic little man, isn't he?
He can't get over the job that he lost, but he had it for 12 days.
No, no, it was 11.
Oh, 11!
He acts like it was something he did for 20 years, like it was a big part of his life.
People take vacations longer than that.
I don't.
I don't.
But some people do.
Board ops do.
Normies, right?
Normies do that, right?
I don't like that word.
I know you don't.
We will delete it.
You can explain to Eric why we're not allowed to use the word normies.
Behave, Gawker.
You're being a naughty boy.
Mike Lindell is definitely not a normie.
He's a patriot.
He loves this nation.
He supports President Trump.
So should you.
Support this show by supporting him.

Okay, let's go to your calls.
Don in Los Angeles!
Dr. G, Rolling Thunder on the right.
How are you this fine Friday?
I'm good, I'm good.
I love Fridays.
What topic would you like to discuss today, Don?
Oh, real quickly, I was really concerned, Dr. G, about this targeted plan, you know, against Alito right now.
I mean, they've been going after him forever, but what bothers me isn't so much that, as where's our targeted campaign against the liberal justices and against the ones that are targeting Alito and Thomas?
I mean, there's got to be tons of stuff.
Yeah, I just saw somebody.
Who was it?
Who's the Hispanic one?
I think it's the Hispanic Justice.
Somebody just posted that she received $3,000 worth of free concert tickets from Beyonce.
I mean, seriously?
That's the best we can do?
Look, the trouble is they're a hive mind on the other side, Don.
They're a collective.
They're the Borg.
And we just take... What was it?
I think Matt Gaetz said it best.
He said, our side has a BB gun taking pot shots at the Death Star.
Oh, brilliant.
That's so true, you know.
Because, Dr. G, it really bugs me.
We keep snipping away at the little leaves and branches of the tree of evil.
We're not going to the roots.
And, yeah, we gotta fight, fight, fight, you know.
And I couldn't find a better example than Mr. Trump.
I mean, gee whiz.
You know, who could stand up under what he's doing and do what he does?
You know, it's just unbelievable.
Indefatigable.
When he was born, they broke the mold.
Happy Friday, Don.
Let's go to Gene in Nevada, line three.
Hey, good afternoon, Mr. Gorka.
I want to talk about what's unfolding under Biden's ban of serial appeasers off the coast of the Philippines, the continued ramming of ships in international waters by the Chinese Navy against legitimate operations of Philippine vessels.
And this latest trailer I saw on this program yesterday calling China's actions barbaric with respect to ramming a ship that was on a rescue mission off the coast of the Philippines.
Now, it seems to me this is a country that was liberated with great blood and treasure in World War II by the American military.
It also features a U.S.
naval base at Subic Bay.
And I'm just wondering, where's the red line with China that a president's going to stand
up and say, no, there's enough, and we'll call for a full-on embargo?
This president?
Are you kidding me?
This president?
There is no red line!
It's Biden!
He surrendered Afghanistan!
He said, oh that thing with Ukraine, oh that depends upon how big the invasion is.
This is the guy who's accusing Israel of war crimes after the October 7th massacre.
There is no red line for this guy.
He's on the side of our enemies, Gene.
You know that.
Yeah, of course.
You know, I wonder, do Americans understand the threat to the national security of this country right now?
And do they also understand that, you know, when I think about North Korea, I don't think about them as North Korea.
I think about them as North China.
That's how I call that country.
They just do whatever China instructs them to do when they're firing missiles out of the ocean and over the Yellow Sea.
But I'm wondering where the red line is on that, too.
I always thought that if a missile came from North China, i.e.
North Korea, and flew over Japanese airspace, that that would warrant a full military response, finally, against the North Korean, also known as North China.
Look, there's no red line when you hate your own country, Gene.
When you hate your own country, you will not defend it.
Thank you for your calls, dear friends.

Thank you.
I've explained why the word normie is not a problem, as Geoff thought it was.
He was under the belief that Steve Deese came up with it, because Steve Deese claimed it.
No, he said he uses it a lot.
He also claimed that he thinks he said he started it.
Which he a thousand. Oh, yeah, right. Yeah, like 4chan back in like 2015 came up with that. I think like definitely not
Steve tease All right, what's a good thing to come in with
I'm...
Um, maybe the, it's long.
Did you do Holder yet?
No.
It's long, right?
That's a minute sixteen, yeah.
I was going to suggest the Byron Donalds thing, but that's fifty-seven seconds.
Cut out 10.
Uh, what's 14?
Did we play that?
We did.
That's the woman, right?
Yeah, the audience member.
Or is that the pole?
Which one is that?
I don't have my number.
We played both of those in the opening monologue.
If you want to use one again, we can.
Just say if it's pole or audience member.
Oh, did we do 8?
8?
We have not yet.
I suggested that and you said we want to use that with Boris.
Oh, that's right.
Come in with 10.
I can see why people want Donalds to be VP.
The only problem is the Florida issue.
of that. It's June 13th, that's right. Actually, I'll do that first and then I'll tee it up.
I can see why people want Donalds to be VP, the only problem is the Florida issue. Yeah, I know.
I was patriot at the top. Mm-hmm.
Mm-hmm.
The new film, The War on Truth, fights back against the federal government's version of January 6.
Watch it on SalemNow.com.
Are you ready for a cinematic revolution?
Experience the power of patriotism with the new movie The Relentless Patriot, hitting theaters June 13th.
Brought to you by Global Ascension Studios, Hollywood's first ever conservative movie house.
It's the story of Scott Lobedo as he champions American values Through his art, from stirring flag renditions to unwavering advocacy for our service members, Scott's story is one of passion and dedication.
Mark your calendars for this special release June 13th and join us in celebrating American resilience and patriotism.
The Relentless Patriot, only in theaters.
Portions of America First are brought to you in part by Global Ascension Studios and the movie Relentless Patriot.
Another relentless patriot is Byron Donalds, who, as a black man, they're trying to portray as a racist.
Of course they are, and he's not having it.
Here he is with Joy Reid, Cut 10.
But it is that during Jim Crow, the black family was together.
That's what people have taken issue with.
What are they missing?
Frankly, what's really happened is that you have, you know, Democrats and you have the Biden campaign and some of the media want to twist my words for political purposes.
The overarching issue is talking just about Black families and why you're seeing a trend of Black people leaning towards Republicans in this election cycle and probably in election cycles to come.
And part of that, in part, is that when you're raising families, raising kids, etc., you're now thinking about all of the public policy issues, all of the economic issues, all of the education issues.
And that's leading people to have divergence in political thoughts.
That was the only point.
The stuff that comes up about Jim Crow and twisting my words, saying I was being nostalgic or saying that Jim Crow was good for black people, that's all political spin.
It's a lie.
It's gaslighting.
And that's truly unfortunate.
Most Republicans aren't made of the material that he's made of.
They don't have the fortitude of Barron Donalds.
And I, too, we've been talking about it in the break.
I would like to see him in the running for the VP slot.
Lots of talk about it happening at the moment.
A lot of it is misinformation.
But why is it that we don't respond as robustly as he does?
You made a statement of fact.
The black family was more intact during the period of Jim Crow.
There I said it.
Come after me, Joy Reid.
I don't care.
Because I've been called a Nazi so many times, I laugh and I'll throw it back in your face.
Why do you have a Hitler Youth haircut anyway?
It's very weird for a black woman.
Is it cultural appropriation?
It's just creepy.
Blonde?
Not right.
It's creepy.
It's like the Hitler Youth.
Why are you celebrating the fact that 70% of black children are born out of wedlock?
They don't have a father at home.
Could that be perhaps the reason why the people who are dying at unbelievable rates because of the misuse of Firearms?
Are black men being killed by?
Wait for it, wait for it.
Is it white men?
No.
Is it the police?
No.
Is it any other ethnic group in America?
Is it the Korean 7-Eleven owners from LA?
No.
It's other black young men.
I guess you like that.
Kind of self-genocide.
Six, seven thousand a year?
Huh.
Maybe you just don't want the competition, do you Joyread?
Tell the truth.
Tell it all the time.
Because they've run out of insults, and it just doesn't matter.
All right, I'm going to do something a little bit risky for radio right now, Jeff.
This cut from Biden and Zelensky, it's going to be really noisy and not the kind of quality we usually do for live national broadcasts.
Why are we going to have to, as we say in the trade, pot it up so much?
Because when they were recording him you can hear a lot of lot a lot of room noise because they had to turn it up so loud just to hear him.
Because he's so quiet and so decrepit that they had to crank up the gain so you could hear him mumble.
A lot of room noise.
All right, so I apologize in advance, but look, this is what happened yesterday in France for the Normandy celebrations.
There's Zelensky, who has gone completely nuts, it seems, with regards to President Trump.
And he's asking for money, and Joe Biden is just... He's sitting, he's not doing anything tiring, and he just sounds so decrepit.
So, excuse the background noise, but why is it there?
Because Biden's being so quiet.
Cut four.
I've announced six packages of significant funding.
Today I'm also signing an additional package for 225 million dollars to help you reconstruct the electric grid.
But once we got the national security bill passed, that was political.
The way you've stood, holding on, holding on to Kharkiv, and you've proven once again that people in Ukraine cannot, and will never, ever take it.
And I assure you, the United States is going to stand with you.
I think you said that all during this debate, and I continue to say it.
The United States is standing with you.
You are the bulwark against the aggression that's taking place.
We weren't having a detailed discussion about a lot of it up in here, but we're still in
completely, thoroughly.
Thank you.
What did you say to that?
Jeff, what do you say?
That's the President of America.
It's so bad.
And this is a big event, too.
You're overseas.
It's the 80th anniversary!
It's going out on C-SPAN.
It's jet lag.
Everybody gets like that.
I always whisper when I'm jet lagged.
Can you imagine being the guy he's talking to?
Who doesn't understand English that great to begin with.
Right.
And you've been invaded by Russia.
You've got your city shelled.
And he's going, Yeah, yeah.
We're with you.
And he's reading too.
He's got a little card in front of him.
And then to be the staff members who are sitting there like this.
Yeah, that's the president.
And he's mumbling.
I don't know why we're laughing.
It's... Oh my gosh.
It's frightening.
It's truly frightening.

Minute 40.
at 40. New York and New Jersey. Come in with 11.
Eleven.
ADA, as Trump calls them.
I'm going to be a little bit more quiet.
you And what I think as time goes on, America will have more and more confidence in the jury result, both in New York, but also as you see it happening in the Hunter Biden trial in California.
We have confidence that 12 of our citizens are going to make a fair and just verdict.
And I hope that in the end, there's more confidence versus less confidence in our justice system.
Who's that, Eric?
Who's that guy?
What platform is he on?
That's Ada Hutchinson.
Excuse me, sorry.
Asa Hutchinson, who was on... That was the mainstream media.
That was CNN.
And what is he saying?
He's saying when it comes to President Trump, we will increase in our confidence?
Hang on, Jeff.
Is that how it works?
With O.J.
and everything else, over time, do we change our mind on the jury verdicts, or do we know that it's crooked from the get-go?
Yeah, the justice system, it's like a fine wine.
It just gets better over time.
So just wait a few years, and then we'll agree with it?
Then you'll realize that justice was done, yes.
Yeah, that's always how it works.
Especially when it's concerning what?
Illegal immigrants.
This next cut is just absolutely mind-blowing.
This is Bill Hicks.
He's the District Attorney for El Paso.
Do you remember that shocking footage from the New York Post when 214 illegals just stormed the Texas National Guard, broke down the fence and got into America?
And members of the National Guard were assaulted.
Well, guess what happened?
I guess they've got woke DAs in Texas as well.
This is the decision from DA Bill Hicks' office.
Cut 12.
How many of those have been dismissed?
The March cases, we have 214 cases total out of the March cases that were dismissed and are pending.
Are you all going to try to reindict those ones?
That decision is still pending.
I'm a little confused.
Dismissed, but pending?
Alex, have you ever heard that before?
We've dismissed the case, but it's pending.
That's a new one for me.
Yeah, I guess that's why you have to be a very expensive lawyer.
Why dismissed?
Why at all?
We've seen the video.
They have no right to be in America.
Hundreds of people.
Crashing down the border fence, put up there by the state of Texas that actually has declared an invasion of their country, of their republic, which was a country.
And now, what?
We just decide that's okay?
You can assault National Guard troopers?
We have so much work to do.
Understand the threat.
Understand from whence it came and who's driving it.

This is America First.
Music.
This is America First.
The forgotten men and women of our country will be forgotten no longer.
Everyone is listening to you now.
You came by the tens of millions to become part of a historic movement the likes of which the world has never seen before.
At the center of this movement is a crucial conviction that a nation exists to serve its citizens.
The amazing inauguration speech of the 45th, and God willing if we do our part, the 47th President of the United States.
Such a paradoxical time we live in that the billionaire from Manhattan, or rather from Queens to be precise, is fighting for us, for the forgotten men and women, the people who have been betrayed by the Uniparty.
And in doing that, he needs a team.
He needs a very solid team.
And standing with him from campaign days, to the White House, to today, and in the courts of lawfare across the nation, is our good friend, we call him the Baron, Boris Epstein.
Welcome back to America First.
It's an honor to be with you.
Thank you so much for having me.
It's an honor to be America First.
And, you know, it's been a very great week for the President, and it's wonderful to discuss with you.
All right, so walk us through it, because you're on the inside.
You were there the day I was with the President and his guests for the trial.
What are the last eight days since this travesty of justice, this quote-unquote There's no doubt about that, my friend.
President Trump, right now, is uniting the whole country.
He's uniting all parts of the country behind him.
You've got tech billionaires, crypto billionaires.
than ever and he's more popular than ever.
There's no doubt about that, my friend.
President Trump right now is uniting the whole country, is uniting all parts of the country behind him.
You've got tech billionaires, crypto billionaires, you've got
Tocqueville, Diddy Fitt, the rapper.
Literally the whole country is coming together.
They're looking at the contrast between the completely dilapidated, powerless, Let's be honest, pathetic.
A legitimate leader in the White House, Joe Biden, who is embarrassing us on the world stage again, and the strength and power of President Trump, and they're saying we need Trump back as soon as humanly possible.
And that's what it's all about.
That's why you're seeing the support for the President in the polling.
He's tied in Virginia of all states.
He's up in all the battlegrounds.
And that's why you're seeing the amazing, unbelievable fundraising all across the country.
Yeah, we had Congressman Bob Good on, and put it into historic perspective, because you're not only, you know, a former campaign hand, you're now, you know, a senior advisor.
The fact that we're five months, less than five months away from an election, and that the Commonwealth of Virginia is in play, put us, put it in a historic perspective how significant that one fact is, Boris.
Significant doesn't even Right now in America, there's literally not a location that's out of reach.
Virginia has gone blue because of the counties around Washington, D.C., and it's been blue for decades now.
But because of the strength of President Trump, the strength of his message, and frankly, because of the weakness of the radical Democrats, and due to their un-American illegal weaponization of law enforcement, our justice system, the American people from all walks of life, All walks of life, all backgrounds, all ethnicities, they are coalescing around President Trump and want to bring him back to the Oval Office.
And that is what you're seeing in the numbers.
I even had a very, you know, pragmatic individual make this case to me recently.
He said, you look at Congressman Zeldin coming within six points of ousting Governor Hochul in New York, you could even have somebody like Zeldin, you know, target key areas of the state of New York and New Jersey and Pennsylvania, campaigned there with his record, and you could bring all of these other places into play.
No doubt about it.
I mean, look at what happened in the Bronx at President Trump's rally.
Look what happened at the historic rally in New Jersey and Wildwood.
President Trump is bringing out people who have not been on the side of Republicans since Ronald Reagan.
And you're right.
If Lee Selden got within six points, right?
Think about what the ability of somebody like President Trump is in working together with Lee and working together with Elise Stefanik and other Republican leaders in the state of New York.
It is absolutely unmatched.
It's an exciting time to be in America.
It's a troubling time because of how hard the Democrats are working to ruin our country.
But it's exciting because we've got President Trump on the march to win back the White House.
Now, you know, the campaign couldn't be going better.
You know, the way everybody's coming together, you know, Steve, you, Jason, Caroline, everybody else.
But what are the key sounding moments, the things that need to be emphasized as we move forward?
I like what I heard from the president repeatedly in the last eight days, which is the real verdict is November 5th.
I think that's a wonderful point to emphasize.
And then the second one, which is a little bit more technical, that Jeff came up with, which is really powerful and we've been hitting on, is that because of a lack of understanding of the constitutional aspects of the federal election, we have even some conservatives who don't understand that a conviction is irrelevant.
That the founding fathers were very clear on this.
There's only three things you need to be a president, a natural born citizen, 35 years or older, and to have lived continuously for 14 years in the United States.
So even if the weaponization continues, which I think it will, even if, and I think they want to put him in prison or at least under house arrest, it's all irrelevant in terms of his eligibility.
And in fact, it makes him even more popular in my opinion, Boris.
Well, in terms of eligibility, you know, the pathetic losers at Crewe and other entities already tried to play that game with the 14th Amendment and got crushed 9-0 in the Supreme Court.
So there's absolutely no question, there's no doubt about that.
Anybody who says otherwise, to your point, does not understand, Sebastian, the American Constitution.
And also, let's not forget that the Founding Fathers themselves were rising up against an oppressive regime, a regime that was weaponizing law enforcement.
That's why you've got—we have—the larger reason we have the Bill of Rights in this country is to prevent that exact thing.
That's why we have the Fourth, Fifth, Sixth, and other amendments.
That's why the due process amendment was passed.
So, as you know, obviously, right after the Civil War, there's absolutely no doubt that By trying to erode the very basis of America, erode the very granular birthstone of America.
The Democrats are not just ruining our country, but they're also turning a huge majority of the country against themselves because the American people are smart.
The American people are savvy and they're patriotic and they hate this pathetic, desperate attempt to hold on to power that the Democrats under crooked Joe Biden are engaging in.
How's the president doing?
You talk to him, you see him almost every day.
Give us an update of how excited he is after San Francisco, after the Bronx, New Jersey.
Give our millions of listeners a little bit of an inside taste.
Well, with President Trump, as you know, it's about what you see is what you get.
And you saw him on stage yesterday in Arizona with a powerhouse speech.
He's crushing it in all of The facet of the campaign from the public rallies, the speeches, the fundraisers on all fronts, the press conferences that he was doing from that cold, dank courthouse, the historic press conference he gave after the verdict just a week ago.
Today, President Trump is dominating and crushing on all cylinders, full spectrum dominance all across the spectrum.
We love it.
Full spectrum dominance.
Let's play a little clip from yesterday and the president in Arizona where he's just telling you what he's got planned for the next four and a half months.
A congressional candidate who's doing a really terrific job.
Uh, his election was rigged the last time.
I will tell you that, you know, they don't like, they say, Oh, please don't say that.
These elections, let me tell you, if we could have Honest elections in this country.
I would have stopped campaigning two weeks ago.
We would have had it made.
But we don't have that, so we're watching it very carefully, and I'm working my ass off to make sure we get too big to rig.
Too big.
I think that might have to be our new bumper sticker.
He's working his backside off, but it's to make sure that it's too big to rig.
I love it.
And part of that is our good friend, the Baron.
Thank you.

You You
You Soldiers, sailors, and airmen of the Allied Expeditionary Force, you are about to embark upon the great crusade toward which we have striven these many months.
The eyes of the world are upon you.
The hopes and prayers of liberty-loving people everywhere march with you.
In company with our brave allies and brothers in arms on other fronts, you will bring about the destruction of the German war machine.
The elimination of Nazi tyranny over the oppressed peoples of Europe, and security for ourselves in a free world.
Your task will not be an easy one.
Your enemy is well-trained, well-equipped, and battle-hardened.
He will fight savagely.
But this is the year 1944.
Much has happened since the Nazi triumphs of 1940-41.
The United Nations have inflicted upon the Germans great defeats.
In open battle, man to man, our air offensive has seriously reduced their strength in the air and their capacity to wage war on the ground.
Our home fronts have given us an overwhelming superiority in weapons and munitions of war, and placed at our disposal great reserves of trained fighting men.
The tide has turned.
The free men of the world are marching together to victory.
I have full confidence in your courage Devotion to duty and skill in battle, we will accept nothing less than full victory.
Good luck, and let us all beseech the blessing of Almighty God upon this great and noble undertaking.
We will accept nothing, nothing short of full victory.

Last year, your generosity led to thousands of girls and boys spending a week at the Angel Tree Prison Camp Fellowship across America.
49 states and 49 of the 50 camps in 49 states of the Union.
Please support today.
It's $200 per child per week, but whatever you donate makes a difference.
More than 70% of these girls and boys will eventually end up incarcerated themselves.
We want to break that cycle.

All right, it's Friday.
Let's talk national security.
Let's talk conservative values with a man who, well, look, what was D-Day?
It was the salvation of Europe.
And he's constantly in Europe talking to people who want to be our friends and our allies.
He's a senior counselor to the president of the Heritage Foundation.
Our good friend, Jim Carafano.
Jim, we helped save Europe from itself and you've been getting to know some of our friends, our friends over the pond.
What are they expecting later this year?
Are they afraid of politics in America?
Walk us through what you saw.
It's a great question, because I have spent a lot of time in Europe, and I've talked to a lot of Europeans, and I was just doing the math on my way back after this last trip, and you know me, again, I'm not political, not a Republican, not a Democrat, don't have a dog in the fight, but this notion that somehow Trump is a threat to Europe, I would say solidly a third to half of Europe doesn't believe that. A third and a half of New York
believes it's the best thing that could happen to Europe.
They want President Trump in the Oval Office. Why? What did they miss?
And the number one reason is they know that Putin fears Donald Trump.
Right.
And that Trump is not a pushover and that he is a leader to be feared.
And when you look at these, you know, countries, and I'm not going to name names, but
Norway, Finland, the Baltic states, you know, even with this government in place.
in Poland, Romania, Italy, these countries are on the front line.
And the one thing, you know, look, I've been in these countries, right?
They're getting ready to fight.
They say if the Russians come here, we will fight to the death.
Because you know what?
We've been overrun by Nazis and Russians before, and we're not going to live that way again.
We've seen what they've done to Ukraine, and they're damn sure not going to do it to us.
So they see their natural partner as a person who believes in defending their country and their way of life like they do.
And when they look in the mirror, they don't see Joe Biden.
And what is their impact on those who kind of echo the conventional wisdoms from the quote-unquote establishment here that, oh, he's not good for the transatlantic alliance, he wants to get rid of NATO.
Can the good guys who are on the front line, are they impacting on these people who don't?
No, I don't think so.
It's one of two things.
They just believe.
We just had a textbook example of this.
Hunter's laptop is disinformation.
It was a bogus story on day one.
Everyone knew there was zero evidence to suggest that, but people just said it and they all believed it.
And now, factually in court, in a court of law, In an indisputable way, it's proven that it's not.
Because the DOJ is using the laptop for the firearms case.
So it's a real thing, and yet, do all the people who believe in disinformation, are they apologizing and saying, oh God, we're wrong, and oh my God, Trump's not a threat to democracy?
No, because they're saying the same thing.
So that's one thing.
The other thing is, is the people that don't want to do this, is the ones that don't want to make hard choices.
Right?
They want their green energy, they want their socialist state, they want to be nice to illegal immigrants, they want the world to go away.
They know that that's not true and it can't happen, but it's like if you close your eyes and say, you know, wish to the fairy three times and you open them all, your problems go away, right?
They want to believe that.
They don't want to be forced to make the hard choices to make their people safe and prosperous and free.
And Trump forces them to make hard choices and they hate that.
Yeah, because you've got to choose.
You've got to make a decision.
If you live in the real world, you've got to make a decision.
But I don't want to make a decision, because America came and rescued all of Europe, and helped rebuild us, and we lived in Disneyland for decades, protected by the American umbrella, and nobody has profited, or prospered, or had more freedom on the planet Earth than the people of Europe.
That's the United States of America, and now when it's under assault again, They want to just pretend that that's not going to happen.

I'm going to do a little bit of a recap.
Okay.
Poland, Romania, Lithuania, Estonia, Italy, Spain.
She's doing fine.
In fact, it's very difficult to do anything domestically just because of the prevalence.
Greece, and I think that's it.
What's your read of the Polish government?
So this is the big thing last night.
So I get two different, one is, look, these guys are, they know they've got to be pragmatic.
The other is, so Duda can't run for president again.
They fear that if they lose the presidential race to the conservatives, the government will fall.
And so they want to go after Duda.
Duda's close to Trump.
So they're kind of caught between a rock and a hard space.
So the answer is, I don't know what they're going to do.
How ideological are they?
Do you have a measure of how ideological they are?
No, they're just shysters.
They're not true politicians.
They're just slimy politicians.
So I don't know what they're going to decide.
It's very complicated, but due to his big proponent of the Three Seas Initiative, the Hungarians were supposed to be president next year.
Duda asked them to let him be president next year because it's his last year.
The Hungarians gave it to him.
Wow!
So this is a platform, right?
The Prime Minister doesn't want Duda to have a platform, right?
So they want to do everything they can to undermine the 3C conference.
But here's the thing is, if Trump wins, Duda's going to invite Trump.
Trump's going to say yes.
The President of the United States is going to come to the 3C conference.
So what are you going to do as the Polish government?
You're going to undermine the conference in which the President of the United States is coming here?
So these are the tough, difficult things that these guys have to cope with.
I half suspect there'll be...
They'll try to walk the middle path and, you know, at the one time say, oh, yeah, that term's terrible.
Oh, Mr. President, we still love you.
We'll see.
I'm going to tee up cut 13.
13, yes.
And then I'm going to do... Another car.
Car 15, yeah.
Car 15.
Tee up 13, you said.
Well, no, I'll do cut at the top, then I'll tee up the cut.
Oops.
I just can't believe they made another Godzilla movie.
This is, honestly, this is actually a really good movie.
You would like this movie.
I like the one from the 1990s with Broderick that everybody pans.
Oh, that was horrible.
I loved it.
No, no, you'll like this movie.
Come on, it's got that French guy in there.
He's great.
Oh, no.
That was a terrible movie.
No, why?
Because.
No.
I'll tell you why.
It's good.
I'll tell you the secret to a good monster movie.
Yeah, which is what?
No men in suits.
No, no, you can have men in suits.
By the way, got a super chat here.
Yep.

You mean the prankster?
The prankster.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Stolen Valor, yeah.
That's what it was.
It was Stolen Valor.
Yeah, totally.
Dr. G is ready for anything on America First.
Eric, would you say I'm not a good self-promoter?
Uh, yeah, I don't think you do it nearly as much.
What?!
I'm trying to be ironic!
You can always do a little bit more, I think.
You know what's really weird?
I think I'm a pretty good self-promoter.
I always forget to mention when I'm hosting Newsmax as a guest host.
We've done an hour and a half of the show and I haven't told anybody.
You've got to tune in tonight.
Rob Schmidt's show.
I will be hosting 7 p.m.
Who have we got on Jeff?
Who are we bringing on?
We've got Victor Davis Hanson's gonna be our big guest at the top.
Who else have we got?
We have your Making Movies Great Again co-host coming on.
Chris Coles.
Yes.
We also have Mark Morgan, too, about to board.
Mark Morgan and Mike Davis, right?
Correct.
All right.
It's going to be a great show.
7 p.m.
Newsmax.
Be there.
It's Friday here on The Radio Show, which means car firearms.
If you are looking for a self-defense weapon, you know, a CCW concealed carry weapon, check out their line of superb weapons.
They revolutionize the industry with the PM9 that I carry every single day.
KAHR.com.
And they are absolutely steadfast proponents of the Second Amendment.
Justin and his team are the best.
They also have fun stuff as well.
Not exactly concealed carry.
The Desert Eagle line of weapon and the historic Inter Ordnance, including the M1 carbine, the venerable Tommy gun and the legendary 1911.
Go to KAHR.com That's K-A-H-R dot com.
All right, let's switch azimuth and talk about how America looks from the outside, right?
Because, you know, you're a foreign policy expert.
This is like a parody skit, or it should be.
This is the former Attorney General for President Obama on CNN, and he's talking about what happens if what seems to be apparent, my former boss, God willing, gets re-elected.
This is Cut 13.
With an Attorney General, we're not looking at things purely from the facts, purely from the evidentiary burden and how to meet it, but instead, taking directives on who to prosecute from the President of the United States.
Sure.
If the President told a compliant Attorney General, uh, I don't like what this Congressman said about me or did about me, did to me over the course of the last two, three years, whatever, open an investigation, um, on that person.
That Attorney General could tell a compliant United States Attorney to do just that.
Talk to a compliant FBI director who could be replaced by the the president to open an investigation And then to just look through that person's life and look for anything that you possibly can find And who's to say what you find in any person's life that might run afoul of the law and even beyond that the fact the mere fact that of an investigation of a person who is a public figure can
be reputation ruining, can be politically damaging, not even if you find anything,
just the fact that the...
Shut him up, shut him up. So just, it's kind of hard to even say this with a straight face.
The idea that you're on a platform saying if the man who's leading in the polls wins,
he will unleash his attack dogs and the Justice Department.
I mean, the fact that Steve Bannon was told to report to prison yesterday, Peter Navarro's in prison, the President's waiting for his sentencing on July 11th.
Do you think foreign eyes look at this and say, that's a bit weird what you're saying?
Well, I will tell you, because I was in Europe, I was literally flying to Europe the day of the verdict against President Trump.
Every European I talked to didn't even care.
Really?
They were like, that's politics.
So nobody saw that as a legitimate trial.
So that didn't even affect your discussions?
Then they said, OK, what's Trump going to do when he gets elected?
Because the Europeans, they all think Trump's going to get elected.
And they think that this is all politics.
They're clear-sighted.
Well, like I said, it's very, very difficult to get a clear picture of what's going on in America because they're seeing what we're seeing and they're hearing all this same nonsense.
Like that nonsense that Holder just spat out.
But that verdict, for example, didn't derail their expectations.
Not for people who are looking at what's going to happen in the United States.
They think Trump's going to get elected.
That's fascinating that they have that kind of clear-sightedness.
Well, but what they're seeing on TV is exactly what you're seeing, the CNN nonsense, right?
Putin's president for four years.
If he was going to use the Justice Department, he had four years to do that.
There's no evidence of that.
But this is the other thing, and again, I am not a...
Political guy, right?
But I have to explain this to foreign audiences, what is going on in American politics.
And it's very, and I say this and it's very clear to them, it's like, what do you see in the Biden campaign?
They are not saying things to get people to vote for them.
They're saying things to have people to keep voting for them, right?
So they're not going out and trying to get more voters.
They're trying to say anything they can, throw any spaghetti at the wall for those dedicated people.
Please don't abandon me.
So, that is the most ridiculous scaremongering you have.
It's not designed to, oh, Republicans are going to go, oh my God, we can't elect this guy.
It's so, the hardcore Democratic voter who's voted Democrat his entire life says, oh my God, he can't do this.
I'll give you another example.
Look at the executive order.
The executive order on the border is not going to convince anybody that Biden is secure in the border.
As a matter of fact, it's demonstrably not.
You've got to give something to that person and say, oh yeah, but he passed this executive order.
We haven't even mentioned the headline today.
We'll discuss it.
I gotta do my favorite one.
Okay, do it in the break for Rumble.
Stay out.
4,000 illegals crossed into America yesterday.
After, after.
We're gonna, we're after the Biden order.
We'll continue the discussion with Jim in the break.

What's his name?
I'm Gary Stearns.
name, Adam what, Kissinger?
Kissinger?
What?
Chief of Staff.
To...
What?
Yes.
The Biden campaign just hired his former Chief of Staff to help them get Republican votes.
Are you kidding me?
You cannot make this up.
It's like...
Why don't they hire Mitt Romney?
No, no, you cannot make this up.
It's like...
Really?
I mean it just shows how completely toe-deaf they are.
They think they fired the former chief of staff of a Republican trader on the J6 committee and that person's going to help them get a Republican... That's amazing!
So here they're like hemorrhaging...
Hispanic votes, they're hemorrhaging black votes, they're hemorrhaging moderates, right?
And the thing is, what's going to save them is get the never-Trumper vote?
I mean, it's just nuts!
When I saw that, I just, I about fell out of my chair.
Alright, I need to post on that.
Okay, thanks buddy.
Tell me quickly, we've got 90 seconds, what makes a good monster movie?
It's not the monster.
Nobody cares about the monster.
People get invested in a monster movie because they care about the people.
That's interesting.
It's really a story about the people of Japan and living with the legacy.
Is that set now or in the 50s?
No, it's set in 1945.
So it's about the people.
And that's what made the first movie great.
It was about the love story with the wife and the scientists and everything.
It was about people.
And that's what makes for a great monster movie.
Not the monster.
Deep, deep analysis.
Thanks buddy.
Have a good one.
You too.
I won't see you next week because I'll be in Kyrgyzstan.
And then we'll...
I'll be in Kyrgyzstan.
Good.
Good.

Go to KAHR.com.
KAHR.com.
All right, we're going to go for the graduate school level of Second Amendment analysis today.
No fun new products, no personalities from the gun world.
Instead, we're going to talk to the man who's written a literal library on the Second Amendment and our rights.
He is none other than John Lott, Jr.
Dr. Lott, welcome back to America First.
Oh, it's great to talk to you again, Seb.
Thanks for having me on.
So we had a guest maybe a month ago to talk about how New York is trying to do a stealth ban of the Glock, probably the most popular, you know, handgun in America.
And then you've got a brand new piece in the Washington Times that isn't about one weapon.
It's a very tough message, building upon the case studies of Daniel Penney, Jose Alba.
What is your message, even to those in New York who are trying to stay legally within the bounds of our constitutional rights?
What message have you sent them with your latest piece?
Well, New York is criminalizing self-defense, no matter whether you use your hands to defend yourself, or you use a knife, or you use a gun.
It's really amazing how the criminals that have been involved in these cases are let go with a slap on the wrist, figuratively, compared to what happens to the individuals who had to defend themselves and their lives.
You know, you mentioned Jose Alba, the Bogota worker, who was attacked by an ex-convict, and he used a knife to defend himself.
Daniel Penny was on a subway in New York, where a man there was threatened to murder others on the subway.
Daniel Penny, who had taught other Marines how to use restraining holds on people, used
a restraining hold, but the individual died.
Jose Alba had to spend time in jail.
Penny is still facing a criminal trial that he has to for murder charges.
And then just a week or so ago, we had the case of Francisco Valerio, who ran a wine
store in the city.
A couple 20-year-old men were caught stealing wine there.
They caught them.
The young men left the store, and then one of them came back and started punching and kicking an employee who happened to be Valerio's brother.
He left again, came back a second time, again started punching and kicking Valerio's brother and Valerio at that time.
And Valerio ended up wounding the attacker.
Valerio had a concealed carry permit.
Which, as you know, is a very rare breed in New York City.
But Valerio has been charged by the Queens District Attorney with attempted murder.
As he and his brother were being assaulted?
Right, exactly.
And under what logic?
That you just have to lie there and get beaten up?
Pretty much.
It's the same logic that applied to Jose Alba or applied to Daniel Penney.
The bizarre thing is, the man who is beating up Falerio and his brother, who is punching and kicking him multiple times, the only thing that he's been charged with has been petty theft.
They haven't even charged him with assault.
Do you see behind this, can you explain what the strategic end state is?
Is it really just an ideological thing that the perpetrator must be treated as the victim?
Can you see any common... What's in the minds of these prosecutors, Dr. Lott?
It varies across the cases.
One thing you see, and it kind of affects the crime statistics that we have, and that is If a criminal uses a weapon in a crime, many of these Soros district attorneys are refusing to prosecute people for the weapons offense.
So they'll reclassify what would have been an aggravated assault, which would have been a felony, down to simple assault.
So I mean, here we have this bizarre situation where somebody who uses a gun defensively ends up getting essentially charged with a weapons offense, but criminals who go and use guns defensively, you know, don't need to worry about the weapons offense that's there.
I think part of it has to do with this notion of, you know, they want to have the rate that people are prosecuted across different crimes kind of correspond to the race of the criminals.
So if a particular group makes up 13% of the population, then they shouldn't be charged with more than 13% of the offenses and they shouldn't make up more than 13% of the prison population.
So what is your final...
Go ahead.
What is your final advice to those who are living in New York, Dr. Locke?
I mean, elections matter.
Obviously, places like New York, you know, Maybe they need to leave if you are concerned about your safety there.
I mean, one thing that we've seen, despite the media going away to claim that violent crime is down, it's just because the media doesn't understand crime statistics.
Reported crime using the FBI data is down, but total crime is up.
I mean, anybody who goes to a store and sees everything behind glass and having to wait for You know, an employee there to come and open the glass and stand next to you while you read the packages there knows that that wasn't something we had to deal with a few years ago.
He's the author of More Guns, Less Crime, president of the Crime Prevention Research Center, crimeresearch.org.
Follow him today at John R. Lott, Jr.
Thank you, Dr. Lott, for shedding light.
On the hell hole that has become New York.

What's it like seeing so many Republicans in Manhattan, so many Trump supporters in Manhattan?
Does that surprise you?
No, not at all.
It's turning now.
Trump's turn again.
What's your message to Joe Biden?
F*** you.
It's one of the best clips of the year, I think.
Newsmax outside the courtroom in Manhattan early morning asking construction workers straight out of central casting, what's your message for Biden?
Yeah, beep you.
I'm going to have to beep some bits out here as well.
Finally, we have some pages from the Nashville transgender child murderer.
that have been published. They're at the top of my feed.
Jim Hansen has got access to them.
So, what do you think this woman who pretended to be a man, what kind of person was she? Oh,
this is interesting. The woman who killed three of those school teachers and three young
girls, three young children, was a racist, a homophobe, and a misogynist, according to her
own writings.
She writes that she wants to kill I don't know.
Am I allowed to use the C word for white people?
I probably am.
She hates cheese and crackers, and she hates the F word for a small piece of wood, if you know your English.
So if you're white, if you're homosexual, she wants to kill you.
I wonder why this document has been suppressed for so long.
The real threat to America is the left-wing and transgender terrorists.
How many times do we have to see this occur?
And of course, what did we find out just today?
Who suppressed the document, the manifesto?
Was it the Nashville PD?
Was it the mayor of Nashville?
Oh no!
It was Biden's FBI!
Why is the Federal Bureau of Investigations suppressing the manifesto of the transgender child murderer?
Is it because?
The truth is, there is no white supremacy threat.
There is no neo-Nazi threat.
The threat is Antifa, BLM, and trans terrorists.
So much more to discuss.
And we shall.
We're going to have fun now in the next hour with our buddy Chris Coles.
We're going to review one of the greatest movies ever made.
And then I will see you, God willing, at 7 p.m.

impressive.
See things you people wouldn't believe.
Want to talk to God?
Oh Let's go see him together.
So, uh, I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to do this.
I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to do this.
Yes, sir.
It is you, Junior.
Don't call me that, please.
Well, what are you doing here?
I came to get you.
What do you think?
Late 14th century Ming dynasty.
Oh, it breaks the heart.
And the head.
You hit me bad.
I'll never forgive myself.
Don't worry, I'm fine.
Thank God.
Freak.
you See, you can tell with the cross-section.
They do say that Indiana Jones was, in part, originally based on the character of James Bond.
And what a better way than to make the final installment of the Indiana Jones movies, one in which they can meet each other.
Harrison Ford and The Father, played by Sean Connery.
It is our co-host choice, making movies great again this week, Indiana Jones and The Final Last Crusade.
There are no more.
Chris Coles, welcome.
Thank you, sir.
This is my favorite day of the week.
Friday, we get to we get to review some of the greatest films ever made.
And this is no exception.
This was as bittersweet, you know, honestly, I often talk about living in the world of a film.
I think this is the film series That maybe I would most want to live in of any film series.
The world of Indiana Jones.
The world I think I would want to live in more than any other.
And I think Indiana Jones, at least when I was a kid, Indiana Jones was probably the character, aside from like, say, Superman or James Bond, that I most wanted to be.
I really loved Indiana Jones as a kid.
This was the guy that I wanted to be when I was, you know, eight years old.
And I think you speak for everyone, you know, in the pre-woke era who watched this.
I mean, you had two options.
You either wanted to be Indiana Jones or Han Solo, which is interesting because they're acting, they're portrayed by the same guy.
Or in an earlier era, starting from 1960, you know, what, 66 onwards, James Bond, which is, oh yeah, Sean Connery.
So I think we've got a closed loop here of Harrison Ford's Parts.
I've shown Connery's parts.
Let's start dissecting.
Before we get to this movie, the final instalment.
Did I say this is the final instalment?
It is the final instalment of the Indiana Jones trilogy.
Why?
What is it about this character?
What is it about these movies that, you know, we want the fedora, we want the leather jacket, we want the bullwhip, and we want to be that guy!
Yeah, you know, there is an element of cool.
And the reason, by the way, the reason it is bittersweet for me, I forgot to mention this.
This is the last Indiana Jones movie.
As they were riding off into the sunset, it occurred to me, I thought, why didn't they make more of these?
This is such a wonderful world.
Well, it is so perfect.
And to make any more would be like, wouldn't that be just the wrong thing to do?
If you made any more, it would be an insult, wouldn't it, Chris?
I mean, if Spielberg and Lucas had gotten together, you know, at some point after this and made a film as good as one of these, you know, original three, I think we would have all been thrilled.
OK?
I mean, thank God they didn't do anything stupid like, you know, just, you know, make a crappy version, you know, as a cash in many, many years later.
That would have been really awful.
Yeah, so we're just we're kind of stuck with the originals.
But you know what, it's it's one of those films.
I think you told me you have this on your phone.
So you can watch anytime you want.
Like, I, you can watch this film, you can watch scenes from this film.
I think a million times.
And they're still enjoyable.
I mean, from beginning to end, this is just fun.
Even if the jokes get a little bit boring, because you've heard them a thousand times, they still put a smile on your face.
You're not maybe laughing out loud like the first ten times you saw the movie, but you still enjoy it.
You know, it's still an enjoyable ride.
And it's such a tight script.
It's such a well-written script.
There's such great lines, like the lines you played at the top of the show there.
Everything about it just works.
And they've created this brand.
I talked to you before about, like, creating a brand.
Yeah.
Indiana Jones is so iconic, right?
They've created this character that's so iconic that you instantly recognize him.
He's in a world that's very specific to Indiana Jones.
I mean, there are some overlaps with other kinds of heroes from the past.
And when you include something like the great Indiana Jones score and, you know, the musical score, And Spielberg's impeccable directing and the cinematography and just everything about this film.
It's told visually.
The beginning of the film, I actually think, now this is a little bit of a weird little tangent, but watching this film this time, I believe that the beginning was actually written After the rest of the film was, was after the rest of the script was written.
Because I'm watching the beginning and I'm thinking, they're really setting things up here.
Like they're really setting things up really, really well.
And they're referencing things that's going to happen later.
Like there's a line where, where Indiana Jones says, uh, oh, that's just when, uh, when the ground falls, falls out from under you, I find, right?
Something like that.
And later in the film, the ground literally falls out from under him.
Right.
So I'm thinking, okay, obviously this is foreshadowing.
I do feel like they finished writing the script and they thought, we've got to rewrite the beginning so that we, you know, we can foreshadow the rest of the movie.
You know, it was just a really tight script, really, really well-written, just a brilliant piece of cinema.
I think it's maybe one of the greatest films ever made.
I absolutely love this.
Well, let's play a little clip from the beginning, which, you know, sets up the adult Indiana Jones, why he wears the hat, why he has the cut on his chin.
Let's play it.
That's the man I wanted to see.
There were five or six of them.
He's all right.
He came after me.
You still got it?
Well, yes, sir.
It's right here.
I'm glad to see that.
Because the rightful owner of this cross won't press charges to give it back.
You got witnesses, five or six of them.
Woo!
Yeah!
Woo!
Good day.
You're lost today, kid.
It doesn't mean you have to like it.
I mean, just that cut from the kid having the fedora put on his head, then tilts up
and it's the grown up Harrison Ford.
It's kind of cheesy, but it works.
And what I find fascinating with this sequel, or, you know, these three movies, and the three Star Wars movies, there exist only three Star Wars movies as well, what I find, you know, so funny about all of these Is that George Lucas with Star Wars and Spielberg and Lucas with Indiana Jones, what are they actually making?
These are Saturday B-roll, you know, B-movie shorts.
You know, this is the Buster Crab, you know, not the big names, not the Clark Gables, not the Gone with the Winds.
They're doing... Star Wars was, he admits, it's a rip-off of the Flash Gordon Saturday matinee, you know, serials.
This, likewise, is a rip-off of the Ryder-Haggard, you know, adventure guys, you know, Solomon's Mines.
They made international, massive marquee brands on what was kind of like pulp in the 40s and 50s.
Isn't that funny?
Well, you know what?
It was fun.
Those old movies were fun.
And that's really the trick.
And they took that sort of fun Absurdity.
And they elevated.
They said, this is what we loved when we were kids.
Let's try to do that again, but bigger and better.
And, you know, with a new kind of cameras and with new kind of editing and, you know, new kind of score.
And you know what?
That should be what we're doing today.
That should be what we're doing today.
People like us should be making movies that harken back to these films.
We should be making films that were like, okay, you know what?
I was inspired by Indiana Jones.
Now I want to make my version of that.
But instead they got all these woke losers who have no sense of how to make a movie.
They didn't grow up loving movies.
Do you see this new, uh, Acolyte thing?
I've heard reviews of it.
Awful.
The new Star Wars thing.
Yeah, it's something like daughter of lesbians and, you know, obviously he's a black chick.
That's magic.
You need the force for that if you're going to have a child and you're lesbians.
That's magic.
Yeah, no, there is something about the force involved apparently.
But there's an interview with one of the actors and he says something about Anakin blowing up the Death Star.
And everybody's just like writing about this on Twitter.
Like, OK, so this guy has no idea.
What has ever happened in the Star Wars universe?
Because obviously Anakin is Darth Vader created the Death Star.
Luke Skywalker blew up the Death Star.
Okay.
But like, what are you talking about?
Like what the hell are you talking about?
You're an actor for a new Star Wars movie.
You've never seen the Star Wars movies?
Like what's going on here?
I mean, people were just disgusted.
The whole thing is a joke.
And these are people that have no concept of what came before.
And I think they're just kind of pretending to be filmmakers at this point.
They're bringing in people to pretend to be screenwriters.
Now, let's get back to Indy for one minute.
There are two criticisms that I have of this film.
Hold, hold, hold.
We'll get to that in a second.
Hold the criticisms.
I didn't think we'd get any of those.
We are making movies great again with Mr. Reagan.

What's that?
It's a rubbing.
It adds me to the grill tablet.
Just like your father.
Giddy as a schoolboy.
Wouldn't it be wonderful if he were here now to see this?
He never would have made it past the rats.
He hates rats.
He's scared to death of them.
2,000 rats that they had to breed for the movie and then the animatronic ones that they set alight.

I was incarcerated for about seven years, and Angel Tree played a significant role as a young father in that context.
It was a powerful thing.
It actually brought my children hope that their dad was thinking about them, and they were an extension of my hand to them, and God got glory out of it.
It was an amazing, amazing experience.
God got glory out of it.
Last year you sent thousands of girls and boys to these summer camps in 49 of the 50 states.
Let's break this record this year.
It's one of the most beautiful things you can do.
Make yourself feel good and potentially save a life by breaking the cycle that sees more than 70% of these children end up in prison as well.
It's $200 per child per week but whatever you donate makes a difference.
Calling your donation 888-206-2794 Or go to my website SebGorka.com and the Angel Tree Banner.
That's 888-206-2794.

I'm going to jump straight in, Chris.
We do not have the same taste in women.
One of us has taste.
The other one, well, let's not go there.
But this woman, this is the first squeeze Who turns out to be bad.
And Alison Doody, oh my.
Do you know how old she was when she filmed this movie, Chris?
No idea.
Have a guess.
This Austrian PhD crypto-Nazi.
The perfect age for me to date, I believe, is the answer to that question.
Correct!
Exactly.
She was 21.
Pretty impressive, right?
For a 21-year-old who's only done a few TV hits, TV shows.
I will say that had I been, you know, on this adventure myself, even if I had known that she was a Nazi honeypot, I still would have let her tag along.
That's how much I like this woman.
She's basically perfection.
Absolutely fantastic.
You know, that explains a lot.
Let's see them in comedy action.
I want to talk about this because this is... Look, he got a lot of stick.
Spielberg, after Temple of Doom, for the burning alive, the ripping out of the heart, the child slavery was pretty bloody heavy.
And so, they made a deliberate effort to make this one lighter.
And it's suffused with comedy, and it's actually great, and it doesn't take you out of it.
Here they are in Baron Grunewald's castle on the Austrian border.
Yes?
Only for a time.
Did you intend to leave us standing on the doorstep all day with the wrench?
To death!
Oh, look, I've gone and caught a sniffle.
Are you expected?
Do not take that tone with me, my good man.
Now, battle off and tell Baron Brunewald that Lord Clarence MacDonald and his lovely assistant are here to view the tapestries.
Tapestries?
Dear me, the man is dense.
This is a castle, isn't it?
There are tapestries.
This is a castle.
And we have many tapestries.
And if you are Scottish lords, then... I am Mickey Mouse!
How dare he?
Tapestries!
It's the worst Scottish accent I've ever heard.
The beret is laughable.
She looks like she's just come out of a Marx movie with Groucho and Harpo.
But it works, Chris!
Yeah, man.
I mean, there's a lot of funny moments in this movie.
You know, basically, from beginning to end, they inject comedy.
And I've always been a big proponent of this.
I always say, you know, whatever kind of movie you do, in the quieter moments, it's good to break with a little comedy.
To me, the best comedy is comedy that really works.
Like in a lot of films, they'll have a group of guys drinking at a bar, and somebody will
make a joke and all the rest of the guys will go, ah!
But the joke isn't actually funny.
They're trying to create an atmosphere that seems natural for these guys.
But it really works a lot better if it's funny, and you get some really classic lines, like
on the screen we're just showing right now, the scene in which he punches the Nazi out
and throws him out the window of this Zeppelin.
And then when everybody looks at the ruckus that's been caused, he turns to everybody and says, no ticket, and then everybody whips out their tickets.
It's such a great moment.
It's a classic moment.
It's not just a classic moment for the Indiana Jones series.
This is a moment that people still recite this line to this day.
This is how classic this line is.
So yeah, the comedy works impeccably in this film, possibly better than in any adventure film or action film.
In existence, this is one of the best, I would say.
Well, I didn't even put this on my list of clips.
And Eric, under his own initiative, said, you gotta have this, so let's play it.
It's the ticket scene.
Guten Tag.
Herr Chortz.
I'm showing mine here.
Back.
Tickets, please.
Boss.
No ticket.
No ticket.
Slapstick comedy.
But Sean Connery 007, pretty good.
Oh, yeah.
All of the acting is great.
In fact, Harrison Ford really astounded me, like how good he is as an actor in so many
different ways.
You know, he's got quite a lot of range in this film, more so than some of the other films.
Because he has to play the son, right?
He's not just the cool professor adventurer.
He has to play the son to the father.
Yeah, and that's really what this film is about at the core.
I think there's something about, probably about, you know, maybe Spielberg, maybe Lucas, maybe some of the other writers of the film.
At some point, somebody figured out, look, universally, most men in the world want their fathers to be proud of them, right?
They want their fathers to love them, to show them that affection, to show them that pride that they have in them.
Like that moment that you showed at the very beginning of the film, where he's like fretting over this vase that he's just cracked.
And Indiana Jones clearly believes he's talking about him.
And you can see that Indiana Jones is so happy that his father is saying nice things about him, maybe for the first time ever in his life.
Then he realizes, oh, it's about the stupid bass.
So you see that disappointment on Harrison Ford's face.
And you see that throughout the film.
And that's kind of, I don't know, I feel like that's almost a little too real.
You know what I mean?
I feel like you're working through some very real things there that exist in the world.
And I don't want to say it's depressing, but it's a little bit like, you know, I feel like you could have had a little bit of a better resolution at the end than what they had.
Although, you know, obviously, Indiana Jones saving his father's life with the, you know, the divine Holy Grail is a pretty epic way to end it.
But I don't know.
You want to see the father Present Indiana Jones, present the son with exactly what he wants, which is telling him he's proud of him.
Yeah.
You know, and he loves him and all that kind of stuff.
And I feel like they kind of left it without that for some reason.
There was like, they're kind of joking around at the end, which is nice.
But I feel like it never had the closure that I wanted.
I never thought of it that way, but it is a little bit unresolved and it gets a little bit too light and then, you know, Brody rides off and almost falls off his horse.
That's an interesting, interesting take.
It is the final of the three Indiana Jones movies, Indiana Jones and The Last Crusade.

So for me, it's a seminal moment in the movie.
There's so many great moments.
But for me, this is a favorite, especially because my best friend, who I've known since I was 10 years old, who we used to sit next to each other in Latin class and cheat in our Latin tests together, Steve.
Stevie, God bless you.
I hope you're watching.
A man who can do A quest for the Grail.
It's not archaeology.
Connery alive today. He's done a liner that we'll play in the next segment that
makes fun of this. I love this moment in Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade.
The quest for the grail is not archaeology.
It's a race against evil. If it is captured by the Nazis, the armies of
darkness will march all over the face of the earth.
Do you understand me?
This is an obsession, Dad.
I never understood it.
Never.
Neither did Mom.
Oh, yes, she did.
Only too well.
Unfortunately, she kept her illness from me.
All I could do was mourn her.
It's really quite an achievement in my opinion that you're making kind of, and I'm not trying to be insulting here, but you're making super fun popcorn movies that you can watch any time.
And then at the same time, you're suffusing big stuff, right?
Spielberg maybe of Jewish ancestry, but you know, from the Holy Ark of Old Testament to the cup of Christ, the grail here, this is big.
Mythical, legendary stuff, and then he interweaves it with what?
The tension between a grown man and his father, who wasn't there for him, the resentment over a wife that died too early.
It's just so deftly done, in my opinion.
Oh yeah, like you said, everything works beautifully together.
The comedy, the serious notes, the action, the adventure.
Everything works really, really well in this film.
It's almost unbelievable.
The moment before that clip, Sean Connery's character, Henry Jones, slaps Indy.
Professor Jones.
Professor Jones.
They're both professors, really.
Slaps his son for blasphemy.
Blasphemy.
And in the moment that he does this, and he says, that's for blasphemy, right?
You believe it.
You really believe it.
I noticed that when I was watching.
I thought, you know, I don't know how devoutly Christian Sean Connery was.
Maybe he was, maybe he wasn't.
I don't know.
But man, that line was delivered well.
Like, he looks angry.
Like, you believe that he was furious with his son in that moment.
And there's so many moments like that in this film, and I think that it's really a testament not only to the ideas that were brought forth by the writers and the direction by Spielberg, which is obviously brilliant, but these actors are just phenomenal.
They really did get some of the best actors possible for these films.
You know, when I was younger, I used to kind of dismiss actors.
I used to think anybody could act.
Like, when you can do something relatively easily, you don't think it's that impressive.
Are you saying that for you it is easy to be a thespian, Chris Coles?
Well, yeah, kind of, because I don't know.
I always just thought it was like playing make-believe you know you know when you're a kid and you're like i'm superman you're batman let's go you know do this and then you have to do it in front of a camera to me there was no i don't know it wasn't any different it wasn't that that much different but you put a camera in front of most people and they freeze and they freak out and they change and the way they speak is a little bit different and they can't
You know, they can't perform in that way that's naturalistic.
When people can do it at this level, it really is phenomenal.
I find some people, when they're sitting in front of a camera and they're talking about serious things, they get a slight British accent.
Have you ever noticed that?
Do I do?
Yeah.
Let me tell you.
It's very endearing.
The ladies love it.
Oh, thanks.
Go on.
Go on.
Tell your story.
Let me tell you quickly the two things that I think are wrong with this movie.
Just real quick.
Let's get them out of the way.
Yeah.
One thing you mentioned, you mentioned to me, which was that you always thought Sean Connery's character was a little bit too nerdy.
Yes.
And I thought that too, actually.
The only, the thing is, they could have left it that way.
I always thought they could have left it that way.
But giving him a sort of like hero moment toward the end.
I know they kind of did with the birds.
I know they kind of did at one moment he uses the tank to blow up the truck full of Nazis.
But there could have been a moment where he does something that you expect Indy to do, but maybe Indy can't, so he does it.
Swings on the whip.
Right, because how does Indiana Jones get to be such an action hero if he didn't learn some of it from his dad?
I feel like that should have been in there somewhere and we should have seen it come out later in the film.
I always thought the hat was a little bit stupid.
Yes.
So yeah, I agree with you.
I totally agree with you on the dad was not quite as cool as we would want him to be.
What's the other thing that annoys me?
Yeah.
And even since I was a boy, this annoyed me.
It belongs in a museum.
What kind of an ethic is that?
See, this is what happens when you take real world ethics and you go, I don't want to promote some kind of like actual ethical moral idea.
So I'm going to promote this, this like made up thing, like, you know, some kind of climate change BS or whatever.
It belongs in a museum.
What kind of value is that?
That should be in a glass cabinet covered in dust.
Exactly.
He says it with such conviction, you know, that you believe it, but it's Ah, it's so dumb.
I always thought that was the dumbest part of this movie.
It belongs in a museum.
All right, superb stuff, superb.
Okay, come in with... Is this, uh, D?
This is D, right?
Okay, come in with the montage, please.
I came here to save you!
Oh, yeah?
And who's gonna come to save you, Junior?
I told you!
For the sake of...
Don't call me Junior.
Dad!
Head for the fireplace!
I think I can get these ropes up.
Our situation has not improved.
There's got to be a secret door.
Passageway.
I find that if I just sit down and think...
The solution presents itself.
Oh Those people are trying to kill us!
I know, Dad!
It's a new experience for me.
Happens to me all the time.
Dad!
You call this archaeology?
So, quite the repartee between the father and son who, by the way, are only 12 years apart, okay?
Father and son.
So, uh, Professor Jones had, uh, had, uh, Henry had, uh, his son very, very early.
Um, what else is there left to be said here?
Oh, out of the montage.
Another moment of the Gorka vocabulary.
We are absolute pop culture fiends.
And the moment when the fireplace turns and the Nazi lady looks at them, smiles and then screams, ALARM!
But this is part of our vocabulary.
There's one thing.
Okay, you've forced me.
You've brought me to this point.
If you're going to criticize this movie, I'm going to say one thing I find problematic.
Tell me what you think.
The book-burning scene in Berlin.
I love the setup.
At the crossroads, we've got to go to Berlin or the armies of darkness will rule the planet.
But when he bumps into a guy who's meant to be Hitler, This is the only moment I'm taken out, because I recognize the guy.
It's Admiral Ozzel from The Empire Strikes Back.
It's a well-known British actor.
Anyone playing Hitler never, ever works, because everybody knows what Hitler looks like.
What do you think of this scene, Chris?
Well, I was not familiar with that actor.
But you know it's not Hitler, right?
That's not actually Hitler.
You know that.
Well, I bought it enough like it was it was easier for me to suspend my disbelief.
Obviously, there's a term in film, a film theory called suspension of disbelief.
And that is that, you know, you have to in the movie, you have to convince the audience to suspend their disbelief, you've got to get them to be convinced that I can enjoy this, despite the fact that I know what I'm watching is not true.
You obviously couldn't do that in that scene.
I could.
I think it may be a British thing.
I think British people will have more of a problem because they're going to be more familiar with this actor.
That's my thinking about that.
And then one more thing that for British viewers takes them out of it.
Play the clip I showed you from the British TV show The Young Ones.
Eric, would you?
I was walking the dog, right?
And this bloke, he comes up to me and he says, nice day, innit?
But it wasn't!
It wasn't a nice day!
It was a little bit cloudy!
Which makes him very sarcastic!
So acting as if nothing had happened, right?
I got his head, right?
I stuck it in me mouth, right?
Acting dead casual, like.
I closed me teeth, right?
And bit his head off!
Cos I hate people being sarcastic!
You know, I wasn't, you know, being sarcastic.
Weren't ya?
Oh, forget everything I just said then, alright.
That's an infamous scene from the 1980s from a comedian called Alexei Sale called the sarcasm skit.
I bit his head off.
That is the Sultan of Hatay.
That is the king who wants the Rolls Royce.
Right, right, right.
It's a weird bit of casting, but for the true movie nerds out there, I have to point that out.
All right.
Are we done with complaining?
Are we good with this movie so far?
Yes, let's finish with complaining, because honestly, this is, I do believe, one of the greatest films of all time.
It's one of my favorites.
And look, I should sort of backtrack a little bit.
I complained a little bit that the father-son dynamic wasn't perfect or whatever.
But listen, listen.
This film is considered one of the great films of all time.
It was absolutely beloved for decades.
I think it still is by many people.
And that father-son dynamic is there.
Obviously.
In one of the most obvious ways, I think, that we've seen.
A lot of times we talk about this sort of, like, analogy of a father-son, right?
Like Karate Kid or something like that.
But with this film... It's actually a father and a son.
It really is.
It's actually a father and a son.
And look how well that worked.
You know, it was none of this woke agenda crap where they're trying to throw in all this crazy thing.
I, you know, I talked to a girl today from, uh, from Germany and we're talking, cause she's studying for, um, for sort of corporate stuff, right?
Uh, microeconomics, this is what she's studying.
And I told her like, I think the biggest problem with the business world today, the corporate world is DEI, right?
And we kind of talked about a little bit.
And she goes, well, I think that what they believe is that there's a diversity of opinions when you bring in a bunch of people from different races and cultures.
And I said, well, yeah, that's what they say, but that's not true, right?
Because you can get 10 people.
It's the opposite.
You get 10 people of different cultures.
If they're all lefties, they all have the same ideas.
But if you get 10 different straight white guys with different ideas and opinions and different political stuff, You got total diversity of opinion.
So it's really a fallacy.
And then she said the thing that actually made the most sense.
She said, well, I think it's also about PR.
And I said, yes, that's exactly what it's about.
That's the real truth.
You told me what their lie was, and then you told me what their truth was.
It's corporate virtue signaling.
It's not individuals virtue signaling.
It's Coca-Cola, IBM virtue signaling.
Look how virtuous we are because we've got 20% of our board are lesbians or whatever.
And look what they can do with just a couple of straight white guys looking for the Holy Grail.
You mean like the white guys that built the whole of Western civilization?
Just like them, just like them.
And what are they looking for?
They're looking for a symbol of Christianity, a symbol of the faith of Western civilization, our ethics in the West, our morality.
You know, and I love that Spielberg introduces into these films a certain level of a supernaturalness, right?
Some of the things make sense.
You know, but then some of the things you think, oh, well, that's not something that's not a booby trap.
That's God.
You know, and that's a knight who's been alive for 600 years.
Yeah.
Right.
Right.
Love that he's not afraid to put that stuff in, at least not back then.
Yeah.
Maybe in future Indiana Jones films, he'll put in some sci-fi stuff instead.
I don't know.
But.
For these epic three films.
Don't give him bad ideas.
We don't need any more movies after this one.
Three is good enough.
Follow this man at MrReaganUSA on Twitter, on his YouTube channels of MrReagan and The Alpha Critic.
This is making movies great again.
Eric, you don't have the heatrose poorly cut, do you?
You do?
Let's do that.
Come in with that.
I love that.
What is happening to me?
Abby!
He chose poorly.
I I don't know.
You're a writer.
You're an actor.
I hate this phrase.
Content producer.
Superb content producer.
How do you make three stinking words just epic?
I'm sorry.
It's three words.
It's not even a famous actor.
It's Julian Glover, who's just died because he chose the wrong grail because he's a greedy pig.
Also another Empire Strikes Back actor, by the way.
One of the commanders when they're invading planet Hoth is Julian Glover.
But let's just not wonk out here.
And the knight says, he chose poorly.
I mean, that's the magic of good writing, acting.
It's just the magic of cinema, isn't it?
Oh, absolutely.
Well, they've done three things here.
Perfectly.
One, they contrasted this epic moment, right, this epic moment of him, you know, dissolving essentially and growing old instantly with this absolutely simple statement.
You know, it's like the British understatement, right?
Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes.
The way of, you know, speaking.
The second thing they did is they made the statement almost biblical.
They could have used a variety of ways of saying that simple statement, but they used almost biblical, almost like the King James Bible version of the statement, which makes sense for the character.
And then thirdly... As opposed to saying, he got it wrong.
Yeah, exactly.
Exactly.
Yeah.
Bad choice, pal.
Something like that.
They got the language right.
Thirdly, the delivery was just epic, right?
That pause.
Yes.
He chose poorly, right?
There's this long pause between he chose it.
And, you know, that's I don't know if that was a Spielberg idea.
That was just the actor doing it.
But every element there was perfect.
And let me just say this.
Allison Duty.
I believe her name is my 19.
What is it?
Nineteen ninety nineteen eighties.
Ninety nine.
Yeah.
She she's you don't really I didn't notice as a kid because this is quite subtle.
I don't think I ever noticed until this time watching it.
But she intentionally chooses the wrong cup.
Right.
I didn't realize that as a kid because it's very subtle.
She kind of looks at I think maybe this one, right?
And then later as they're choosing the cup, she's like, it's not going to be made of gold.
Oh, you knew that though?
You knew that?
Because Jesus was a carpenter.
Exactly.
So they both knew, Indy and she both knew.
But then she gets greedy again, then she gets greedy and she wants the grail and she falls to her doom.
Alright, what else have we got to say?
Final thoughts?
This, if you look at the internet entries for this, the gestation for this movie is nuts.
The first script was about a haunted house.
Yeah.
The next one was about the Chinese Monkey King.
I love that legend.
If you're not familiar with it, go and check out the Monkey King TV series from the 70s.
I grew up on it in a dubbed English version.
Then there were stories, I'm just going to read these because they're just crazy, about Indiana Jones finding a 200 year old Nazi pygmy.
Then there was a version of the script that had cannibal Nazis.
I'm looking forward to Indiana Jones and the cannibal Nazis until they finally settled on this one.
I believe they ate Joe Biden's uncle or something, right?
Well, yeah, of course.
I mean, yeah, they did.
They did.
And then they burped afterwards.
It was filmed in Utah, Spain, Germany and the UK.
Cost a measly, I mean, this is like half an episode of, you know, Game of Thrones, $48 million for the whole thing, $48 million, and netted 10 times that, $474 million.
What are we going to say?
We've got to rate it out.
There's only one unit of measure, and it's not going to be seagulls.
How many grails out of 10 grails for a modern audience do you give this, Chris?
I want to take something back, because I just remembered something watching this scene.
We're watching the scene where they're trying to flee.
Oh, while you're talking in the background, let's do the travelogue.
I just wanted to show off, I took my family and my kids to Petra, okay?
So, this scene that is meant to be, that's me, you can't tell, that's me doing my Indiana Jones impression.
This is me in Jordan with my kids about six years ago, outside the treasury.
That's my daughter Julia.
With the camel that we had a ride on.
That's Katie, my muse, outside of the Holy Grail Temple, as it is in the movie.
There I am.
I actually took my original Indiana Jones hat made by the same company.
That's the Jordanian chief of police who grew up in one of those caves outside of Petra.
Actually grew up in one of those caves.
So I'm just showing off.
Keep talking, Chris, while we play those in the background.
I absolutely love it.
Great family, you guys.
Great couple.
Seven family.
Amazing.
Amazing.
Yeah.
It took place in Turkey in the film, but obviously it's in Jordan, the real location.
But there's a moment at the end after the femme fatale, as you called her, falls to her doom.
And Indy has the same impulse as her.
And he's thinking, I'm going to I'm going to get this grail.
And so there is actually I said that there wasn't really closure.
There is a moment where his father does tell him he loves him, but he doesn't say those words.
He just says about the grail, he just says, let it go.
Yeah.
And that's an amazing moment because this is his life's work.
It's not Indy telling the father to let it go.
It's the father telling Indy to let it go.
Basically saying, I love you more than I love my life's work.
And it's not, it's just, even in just the way, as he's holding his son's hand in the
chasm, just the way he says the word Indy, it's like, I love you more than that thing,
give it up.
Beautifully put, dude.
You should do videos.
It's really good.
It is a perfect moment and it does add that closure that I mentioned was missing at the end.
But I was just thinking about it.
You were wrong 30 minutes ago.
I was wrong.
I was wrong in that analysis, but I've adjusted.
So you're going to have to adjust your score.
What is your score?
How many grails out of 10 do you give the final, the third and final Indiana Jones movie?
As everybody knows, I judge this on what a modern audience would feel like had they not seen it as a kid or whatever.
I don't know how anyone couldn't love this film.
It's gotta be ten out of ten.
I so, so have a struggle with this, giving tens out of ten.
But literally 15 minutes ago I said, what other score can you give it?
You can't give it any other score.
10 out of 10, 10 out of 10, 10 out of 10.
All right, it's a winner all round.
Okay, so I was going to do something fun next week.
Well, not fun, one of my favorite thrillers from the 90s.
And then we had a listener call in and talk about the current political situation in America.
Yesterday, my friend, my former boss in the White House, Steve Bannon, was ordered by a corrupt deep state judge to report to prison on July 1st.
And this caller said, very few movies are more applicable to what is happening in America today, including in the justice system, than To Kill a Mockingbird.
Shall we go serious, Chris?
What do you think?
Wow.
Wow.
Yeah.
Certainly a classic.
Yeah.
