so so
so so
so This is America First with Sebastian Borca.
Happy Friday!
I'm in a very, very Friday kind of mood.
Greetings to all you patriots out there.
We are going to have so much fun today and lots of very, very Friday-ish music for our bumpers as we come in.
Why?
Because I'm in a good mood.
Not just because it's Ask Dr. G Anything Friday.
And second amendment Friday, and we'll be reviewing an incredible movie, one of the greatest movies ever made in the third hour, but also because, well, I think we've got them on the run.
Do we have the B-roll from yesterday, Eric?
For those who are viewing our televisual treat, I'd just like you to play in the background Joe Biden at the G7 meeting in Italy, from which he had to return home early today.
Everyone else, the leaders of their nations, are still meeting.
And why did he come back?
Hunter Biden's not in court.
Maybe it has to do with the fact that He's in trouble.
Not even the left can deny he's got serious issues.
Wandering off into the distance, having to be grabbed and brought back by the wonderful, conservative, patriot, the head of the Italian state, that beautiful Mrs. Maloney.
Or whether it's him just wandering off to talk to a column.
What are we being told by the mainstream lying media?
Fake news?
It didn't happen.
It's MAGA FAKE NEWS!
They're even having to repeat talking points from the DNC or the White House, what is the difference, about how it didn't happen.
Don't believe your lying eyes.
What you saw yesterday, what I posted on my social media accounts, be sure to follow me everywhere, Seb Gawker or Sebastian Gawker, didn't happen!
What you're seeing, to quote an ancient Jedi, these are not the droids you're looking for.
Now, I don't want to tempt fate.
I don't want to say that everything's a done deal and in four months time everything's hunky-dory and we'll romp home with a Mondale-type victory crushing the Democrats in 49 states.
If the election were today, and if it were free and fair, you know who'd win.
45 would become 47.
45 would become 47.
However...
Man, it looks good.
Because in the last three and a half years, we have never, ever seen such level of lies.
The fact that everyone knows.
But in face of that, we have the story of the emperor with no clothes.
The establishment, the mainstream lying legacy media, They can't do anything but lie in your face.
Can they keep it up for four more months?
Are they going to be able to convince anybody that this man is actually Compus Mentis or not?
I'd like to play for you some of these cuts.
Do we have any of the cuts about them denying what's happening, Eric?
All right, so here we have a man who I still find this stunning.
He used to be a Republican member of Congress until one of his interns, a very young girl, died in his office.
This is Joe Scarborough just lying to America.
Cut to.
You have Joe Biden here with a schedule that would be brutal for anybody.
Oh my gosh.
Any president of any age going to Europe, you know, counting on D-Day and spending five
days in France, going over to the G7.
In the middle of the personal struggles.
In the middle of the personal struggles.
The Hutter trial.
And yesterday, even critics were saying that he did a strong job, very good job representing
the United States, even though, again, we have some some cheap fakes that the RNC once
again spreading vicious lies about Joe Biden.
But that's just, that's who they are.
All the difficult things he's going through.
Hey, Jeff, is President Trump, has he been going through some difficult things for the last nine years?
Since he went down the escalator.
Right, right.
I mean, did Biden have his home raided by the FBI?
No, they set it up and let him move everything out before.
Did he have to spend the last six weeks in court every day?
Nope.
Is he facing trials in multiple jurisdictions across the nation?
No.
Does he look really tired after all of that?
Well, yeah.
Who Trump does?
Oh, I thought you meant Biden.
No, no, no.
President Trump after the raid, the court cases.
He looked great yesterday.
He looked great, didn't he?
Yes.
Okay, so let's continue.
This is, I don't know, who's this?
Adrian Elrod.
When they have a spokesman, Eric, who you've never ever heard of, what does that indicate?
To me, it suggests they don't have any confidence anymore in the White House Press Secretary, Jean-Pierre.
Right.
We need to lie really bad.
Can we just push somebody?
I don't want to do it.
Just push out Adrian Elrod.
Push, push, push, push Adrian out there.
This is the response from the Biden spokesperson you've never heard of.
It is, well, let's just say it's a good sign for the good guys.
President Biden was out there literally representing America at the G7, saluting our troops, you know, doing what he does as President of the United States.
And look, we're going to see more of this.
I mean, this is just the reality of campaigning in 2024.
So we have to combat that disinformation.
We have to hit it hard when it happens and make it clear.
That these are dirty tactics that MAGA Republicans are using because they can't run on the issues, Lamar.
They have to run.
They have to use these dirty tactics like this because they are not right with Americans on the issues.
So we're going to see more of this.
We're going to do what we can to combat it.
But it does take the voices of surrogates across the country.
It does take the media to call it out.
It does take social media platforms where a lot of Americans are getting their information to point it out as well.
Jeff, what exactly is the MAGA disinformation to which Adrienne Elrod is referring to?
I have no idea.
But she's pretty good at lying, though.
I will say that.
I mean, she did deliver that pretty good.
But she did sound as if she needs some help.
When you say, we need the surrogates to talk out, that's kind of like a cry for help, isn't it?
And she said we need the media and we need social media to call for it.
Because Joe can't do it.
That's why they need the whole machine behind them.
It gets even better.
Yesterday, at the press conference in Italy, Pay attention to the words coming out of Joe's mouth here.
This is straight out of North Korea.
Cut five.
Can you give us your assessment of Hamas's response?
And do you believe that they are trying to work towards a deal?
Or is this response working against a deal?
And what is your message to allies, including those here at the G7?
About what more, if anything, the U.S.
can do to drive towards a peace agreement.
Thank you.
I wish you guys would play by the rules a little bit.
I'm here to talk about a critical situation in Ukraine.
You asked me another subject.
I'll be happy to answer it in detail later.
You know, the most beautiful part of that is, Jeff, that massive blue border that says White House, that this is coming on their feet.
Isn't that great?
Yeah.
What is the problem there?
You're not playing by the rules?
Hey, Eric, how often did the press play by the rules when President Trump was in the White House?
Oh, not at all.
They were just making the rules up as they went along when it came to Trump.
Unbelievable.
Are we already a minute away from the break?
A minute and 15 seconds.
I thought we just started.
This is insane.
I literally just walked into the studio.
Where did that 11 minutes go?
I arrived late and I didn't even get the pizza ordered for my team.
What a naughty Dr. G will have to make up for it on Monday.
You're listening to America First with me, Sebastian Gorka, former strategist to the 45th President of the United States.
God willing, it's up to us to make him the 47th.
Make sure you've got his back.

Leave us a five-star review.
Share the links with your friends.
And then here's a question for you.
Are you a patriot?
Are you MAGA?
Do you have a t-shirt with the president's mugshot that says Outlaw President?
If you don't, why not?
Seriously, are you afraid to tell the world that you are a patriot?

DonaldJTrump.com.
It's Friday.
Stay on this channel.
John, Sally, Franco, don't go anywhere.
of the year.
The President's been in the White House for a while.
We are... Biden... It's hard to overstate this.
Biden and his team are totally out of touch with reality.
They don't understand the real world.
They don't understand the concept of having real enemies.
They don't have any concept of strategy.
And they sort of go... Oh, we did that one.
Six.
Donald Trump wants to talk about things that he thinks are horrible.
All of us lived through his presidency.
We're back down here at the border, Tijuana, right behind me, San Diego sector.
This is the San Ysidro port of entry, not too far away, which is the largest in the western hemisphere.
We're just down here with the National Guard, meeting with Customs agents, Florida Border Patrol, talking about our partnerships.
390 National Guards men and women that have been working, particularly as it relates to fentanyl, here in the state of California.
Look at the bottom line, at the end of the day, they need more resources.
Everybody needs more resources.
Yeah you know looking at this this room that I I don't want to be hyperbolic but it has a feel something more akin to what you would see out of state media from North Korea than it does from the United States.
Just the obsequious flattery, it's really sickening.
9. Next.
Why they over there running they mouth? I'm over here paying them no mind.
See, I'm so tired of hearing these idiots call my name as Fannie in a way to attempt to humiliate me.
I want to begin by quoting the jury in the Manhattan hush money payment trial.
The real story is what lies on that laptop, which no longer they can deny as disinformation, sir.
Well, that was the most important part of this trial is that the FBI was forced to admit that they had obtained the laptop and it's genuine.
So those... Community banks.
So the importance of community banks is they are as they are called.
They're in the community.
Next.
Led by... I'm Lauren Biss.
I'm here in Nevada documenting for election officials commercial addresses where people
do not live and mail.
I'm calling looking for Joseph Razzo.
R-A-Z-O.
If you could call me.
So you think they're going to provide Mr. Colangelo here to answer our question?
I would not expect Mr. Colangelo to show up.
And do you base that opinion on... Mr. Bragg and Mr. Colangelo have agreed to come on the 12th.
If they don't show up on the 12th, they will be subpoenaed.
So I would ask the gentleman if he could...
Give me the guest.
Mic's off.
I'm going to be a little bit more...
Biden, it's hard to overstate this.
Biden and his team are totally out of touch with reality.
They don't understand the real world.
They don't understand the concept of having real enemies.
They don't have any concept of strategy.
And they sort of go from press conference to press conference, making it up as they go along.
They've had no positive impact on Gaza.
They've had no positive impact on Iran.
They were a total failure in Afghanistan.
And frankly, the Ukrainian war could have been solved much, much earlier with an effective, aggressive American government.
And they've just drained it out in ways that kill Ukrainians and spend a great deal of American money.
So very true, the wisdom of Speaker Newt Gingrich.
The Biden team has no idea what they're doing.
The sooner November 5th and then January the 20th comes, the better.
In the meantime, do something really beautiful for your fellow man or your fellow Well, American Child.
There's more than a million boys and girls in this nation who have a parent behind bars.
That's why the Prison Fellowship tries to send thousands of them every year to Christian summer camps in 49 of the 50 states with your help.
At least for a couple of weeks they will be safe and they will be introduced to the words of our Lord and Savior.
It's the most beautiful thing you can do today.
Please make a difference.
More than 70% of these kids will end up incarcerated themselves.
We want to break that cycle and make them feel just a little bit more loved.
It's $200 per child per week, but whatever you donate makes a difference.
Call it in.

Always fun when we invite new guests on the show, especially people who just, you know,
up to me at conservative gatherings and say, hey Dr. G, I've got a story to tell.
And this lady has some story.
It's indicative of where we are today as a nation.
JoLynn Mesaroch, welcome to America First.
Hi, Dr. Gorka.
Thank you so much for bringing us on to tell our story.
We have been in this four years with very little voice.
All right, I love it.
She's got a necklace on that says 1776.
That is so cool.
Okay, JoLynn, tell us what happened to you and why you're such a troublemaker and why the Biden administration hates you!
Well, I'm a Christian homeschool mother and I live in Texas.
My husband and I are getting sued by Biden's White House officials for driving next to the Biden bus with Trump flags, which they claim gave them emotional damage.
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
I don't believe this for a second.
Maybe you can make some kind of fake case out that, oh, you're a danger or you rammed the Biden campaign bus.
Are you seriously telling me you're being sued because your Trump flags created emotional damage?
Yes, sir.
There are zero criminal charges.
They are only claiming emotional distress.
Okay, so who are the parties to this case?
Where is it being heard?
meant right to free speech. But you probably remember mainstream media headlines lied and
said we did try to run the bus off the road. But we have footage from inside the bus showing
the Biden bus driver wanting to run Trump supporters off the road.
Okay, so who are the parties to this case? Where is it being heard? And what's the status
of it?
Yes, sir.
This includes Biden White House officials that were at the time campaign staffers.
We've got Democrat politicians like Wendy Davis, who was running for Congress at the time, and influencers for the progressive left agenda pushing the LGBTQ movement on children.
And these individuals are claiming to have emotional damage in federal court under the Ku Klux Klan law.
And they've not met the basic requirements of using this law.
We've got an Obama-appointed judge at the headquarter, and the work of that political persecution would be happening to Trump.
All right, so where is it?
What's the status of the case right now?
Yes, sir.
After four years, we're headed to trial by jury in September to defend our right to free speech and essentially every single American.
And where is it being heard?
So we're situated in the Western District of Texas.
Sadly, there are some very woke parts of Texas.
of thousands of dollars.
We have cashed out our 401k and been fundraising to afford to stay in this fight.
They have tried to force us to settle.
They have slandered us in the media.
But we believe in our God-given rights to free speech, and we will not stop fighting
to bring truth to light and to see justice work.
Sadly, there are some very woke parts of Texas.
Is this a woke part of Texas?
And what do we know about the judge?
You already know, Dr. Gorka.
This is in Austin, Texas.
It is not a jury of our peers.
Our judge has already shown where he stands.
It is not favorable for us.
We have already filed a writ of mandamus with the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals, who agrees this is frivolous.
And really, it's intending to interfere with presidential elections.
They have dragged us through the impeachment trial against Trump in tandem with January 6th, saying that we were a precursor to the insurrection and in the 14th Amendment period.
You're an insurrectionist?
Yeah, because I'm a homeschool mom, you know, Dr. Gorka.
Hang on, hang on.
You're not one of those scary Catholics that goes to Latin Mass.
I mean, because they're the worst.
No, sir.
I... You know what?
I didn't even know I had a right to free speech, and I wasn't sure if I was gonna vote for Biden or Trump in 2020.
I put a Trump flag on my truck with some friends and thought, this looks fun.
And it's not only... It's because they...
Pick this fight with me that now I'm going to learn what my basic rights are.
I'm going to defend them for myself and for others.
I'm going to teach them to my child.
They picked the wrong mom.
We're here to hold the line for free speech and to help other people find their voice and their courage when we're under persecution.
All right.
None of this stuff sounds very, very cheap.
How can our listeners support you?
Thank you for asking.
It is very expensive, and the whole process is the punishment to try to deplete you.
Right.
But people can support us at freespeechdefender.com.
Oh, she froze there.
Let's go back to the two-shot.
Not two-shot.
Maybe it'll come back.
Oh, good.
See?
See how technical I am?
I'm not just a pretty face.
I can fix stuff.
Freespeechdefender.com.
Can our listeners donate there?
Yes, they can support our legal defense fund, they can leave a prayer for us, they can share our story with somebody, and they can follow our updates.
And we need the grassroots help of the American people to ensure a win for free speech rights.
Alright, so I think you've got my cell phone.
I know you know how to reach out to Jeff, my executive producer.
Will you keep us informed every step of the way?
I absolutely will, Doctor.
This is a huge blessing to us.
Out of all the First Amendment rights nonprofits we applied to, we fell outside the scope for every single one.
Our elected officials aren't really wanting to get involved, and we've not had the support in the media we expected to, to shine a light on this injustice.
We hear, if it can happen to Trump, it can happen to you.
Well, we're proof that it already is, so thank you for giving us a voice.
All right, Joelyn Meszarosz.
I do think that's a very nice Hungarian name.
If it isn't, I don't care.
It sounds very Hungarian.
It is.
I knew it.
She's misspelt it, though.
She's misspelt it, but we'll fix that next time.

Guys, right now, support this lady, support this team who are being sued by snowflakes.

Because they surprised him with a cake.
Aww.
You love to see it.
Come on, here it is.
You just said all?
Because... What?
Republicans gave him a cake?
Eric says all to that?
Well, you said they surprised him with a cake.
I assume he meant his family, or... No, no, no, the GOP.
Oh, never mind then.
Yeah, a bunch of... Because that was yesterday.
I wouldn't have eaten a cake if I was him.
Some of those people in there.
Someone has to test it.
Alright, have you got it?
Uhhh...
Not seeing it yet.
There we go.
Okay, give me a little bit.
That's great.
Alright, Ryan's confirmed.
For Monday.
Okay, good.
Is he coming in or?
Yeah, he's coming in.
He's coming in especially from Virginia Beach.
Alright, where did I have to find the photograph of that?
The Hindustani Times.
Obviously.
America first.
Can you believe it?
They are saying that they don't agree with America first.
How do you say that?
Magnificent.
What happy birthday is that, Alex?
Is that like, uh, is that Chopin?
Is that Mozart?
Is that the Philharmonic?
Who is that?
That is the great Charlie Brown.
I love me some Charlie Brown.
The Great Pumpkin Patch.
Absolutely.
Who's your favorite character, Alex?
Snoopy.
Oh, come on, that's too easy.
Of the human beings?
Charlie.
Charlie, really?
I like Pigpen.
Who do you like, Eric?
Um, I believe the piano player's name is Schroeder, right?
Schroeder!
And the one who I must have a favorite character because he watches it so much.
Geoff, who's your favorite, uh, Peanuts character?
Uh, the guy that writes the end and the credits.
Don't tell me your kids don't love Peanuts.
Uh, that's kind of been replaced.
That doesn't come around much.
I think we watched it, one of the Thanksgiving specials or Christmas.
It's got one of them, right?
He's got both.
There is a Christmas and a Thanksgiving, Charlie Brown.
Dear, oh dear, what are we going to do with you?
All right, your calls next.
Don't go anywhere.
John, Sally, Franco, Antoinette.
But first, if you enjoy the show, support those who make it possible every single day by their largesse, especially Mike Lindell.
The President is a great friend of Mike.
I'm sure he called him up to wish him birthday wishes.
That's why we played the tune.
It is the President's birthday.
It is the U.S.
Army's birthday.
It is Flag Day.
And we also celebrated Joe Piscopo's birthday today on his show.
Support Mike.

Dr. G, I need an alternative or a suggestion for an alternative for Gmail.
Based on one of your calls yesterday, I started checking my spam, and I was surprised what I found, including an email from you, from The Fourth, which had America and pride in the subject.
Anything with God, liberty, freedom, American flags, all in my spam.
On your Gmail, those were filtered out.
On my Gmail, which they filtered out.
Wow.
Jeff, what do you use, Jeff?
You have some kind of email service that's patriotic.
What is it that you use outside of business?
It's Reagan.
Do you like that service?
It's pretty good, but... All right, John.
Check out the Reagan.com email service.
The trouble is it's just like YouTube.
They get this monopoly, and then you've got to fight them.
Thank you, John.
Let's go to Sally in Cleveland.
Hello, Dr. Gorka.
On this occasion, as you've already mentioned, this celebration of Flag Day is also President Trump's birthday, and we mailed a birthday card to him with a donation previously.
But it's so appropriate because his policies promoted our identity as a republic that the Pledge of Allegiance reminds us that too few voters recognize the difference between a constitutional republic in a straight democracy, since there are challenges to the electoral system now.
So we're in a huge fight for our republic, and so we thank you for all you do to inform us.
God bless you.
Thank you, Sally, for your kind words.
Absolutely.
We are a constitutional republic.
Let's go to Iowa, line three, Franco.
Hey, Dr. G. Hey.
It's been a long time.
Where have you been, Franco?
I've been driving my truck.
Alright, what's the load today?
Is it liquid eggs again?
What is it?
No, I'm back to hauling... Good lord.
Soy based biodiesel all the time.
Soy based biodiesel.
Very environmentally friendly.
What brings you to our humble show today, Franco the Trucker?
Well, I have got a suggestion for VP.
Okay.
I noticed the guy back in 2016 2016 was the first time I ever donated, and I donated, obviously, to President Trump and this gentleman in Michigan, no less.
All right, who is it?
Who is it?
John James.
He's now a congressman in Michigan.
He graduated from West Point.
He's an AH-64 helicopter pilot for eight years in the Army.
Got his Ranger tab.
And what do you like about him?
Because I know nothing about this guy.
What do you like about him, Franco?
You gotta Google him.
He's sharp.
He's a businessman.
He took over his family's company from the first dad.
And it's a global company.
He's an African-American.
He just...
He just oozes professionalism and success.
And he's only been a politician for one year.
That's the best part.
All right.
That's exciting.
Stay on the line.
You've been a stranger far too long.
Let's give Franco one of our outlaw president t-shirts so he can wear it as he's driving that biodiesel across the nation.
Sawyer based.
It's so Environmentally friendly.

More of your calls here momentarily here on America First, coming to you from the ReliefFactor.com studios with their brand new product.
So amazing.
It's ReliefFactor Sleep.
Just listen to how good it is from my muse, Katie.
Say a word about ReliefFactor Sleep, Katie.
Okay, I will say if I don't take it, I'm up at 4.
And I love that time with the dogs, but I'd rather be asleep in bed.
So when I take Relief Factor, I actually sleep till 6, even 7 o'clock in the morning.
I tell you what, I'm a much happier camper.
I came home a little bit late from a cigar event with some boys yesterday.
I was like traipsing around, getting undressed, putting the dogs to bed.
My wife didn't wake up.
I mean, she's a real light sleeper.
She just didn't wake up.
How good is Relief Factor Sleep?
Find out for yourself!
1-800-4-RELIEF.
ReliefFactor.com slash sleep.
That's 1-800-473-5433.
That's 1-800-473-5433, reliefactor.com, slash sleep.
He says so much shit against Trump.
He's got a 54% conservative record with Heritage.
He, but he, he was great at, like, acting like he was this outsider and all this stuff.
And the problem, too, is he ran for U.S.
Senate twice in Michigan, lost both times, then finally won.
To be honest, he probably really won in 2020, because he got screwed over with Trump.
But, and he got into Congress.
But why is he a fraud?
What has he done?
His voting record, heritage score, is 54%.
He votes with establishment all the time.
You're gonna talk about that and sleep factor when we come back, Mr. G. Are you ready?
Yeah.
Okay.
My wife never stays asleep when I arrive back home.
Never.
Never.
The dogs were in the bedroom.
I had to put them to bed.
I had to get, you know, undressed.
And she slept through the whole thing.
And I'm not a quiet guy, as you can imagine.
It's real.
It works.
All right, too many cuts!
Too many cuts.
All right, can you do Casio?
1, 4, 5, 7, and 12.
And play me 16, please, Eric.
16.
16.
Mr. Bragg and Mr. Colangelo have agreed to come on the 12th.
If they don't show up on the 12th, they will be subpoenaed.
So I would ask the gentleman if he could withdraw the motion.
They're coming.
We worked hard over the weekend to make sure they're coming.
And if they change their mind, they will get a subpoena from the committee requiring them, compelling them to be here.
And then if they choose to go to court on that, I think we'll beat them in court like we did the first time when we got Mr. Pomerantz to come testify in front of the — come be deposed in front of the committee.
But, Mr. Chairman, time then becomes determinative.
The problem is, if we're going to bring these people in, let's go... I've made a motion to subpoena these people now, pursuant to the rules, and I want to vote on my motion, or I want someone to move to table it.
You made the motion to subpoena them for the 12th?
I made... I moved under Committee Rule 4... Alright, I want to discuss that before we go back to the calls.
You can, uh... You'll tee that up?
I'll tee that up after we do Relentless Patriot.
Okay.
you you
you Dr. G is ready for anything on America First.
Well it's here!
The cinematic revolution arrived yesterday with the release of Relentless Patriot.
Yes, the amazing new documentary from the only conservative production company in Hollywood, Global Ascension Studios.
The story of the renegade patriot artist Scott Libedo who champions American values through his art and stands up for what?
Our veterans and the founding principles of our republic.
The special release was yesterday in 700 theaters across the nation.
Check out the local listings and watch Relentless Patriot.
Experience the impact of a conservative story of a man who just will not give up.
Portions of America First are brought to you in part by Global Ascension Studios and the movie Relentless Patriot.
All right, we're going to go to Antoinette and Matt momentarily, but I was late to the studio because I was with some people who are fighters and I was there for a little barbecue and a cigar.
And I missed this yesterday.
They told me about the fireworks inside the Republican Party between Jim Jordan and Matt Gaetz.
And here's the little tease.
Play cut.
Mr. Bragg and Mr. Colangelo have agreed to come on the 12th.
If they don't show up on the 12th, they will be subpoenaed.
So I would ask the gentleman if he could...
If he could withdraw the motion, they're coming.
We worked hard over the weekend to make sure they're coming.
And if they change their mind, they will get a subpoena from the committee requiring them, compelling them to be here.
And then if they choose to go to court on that, I think we'll beat them in court like we did the first time when we got Mr. Pomerantz to come testify in front of the, to come be deposed in front of the committee.
But Mr. Chairman, time then becomes determinative.
The problem is, if we're going to bring these people in, let's go... I've made a motion to subpoena these people now, pursuant to the rules, and I want to vote on my motion, or I want someone to move to table it.
You made the motion to subpoena them for the 12th?
I made... I moved under Committee Rule 4, Clause 2M of House Rule 11, to require the attendance... I moved to table the... I second that.
It's not debatable.
Is there more sound here?
Right here.
So what's- We need to stand in recess.
There was a recess and there was, behind closed doors, some rather loud words between Jim Jordan and Matt Gaetz.
Why?
Because Jim didn't use his power as the chairman to subpoena Alvin Bragg and Matthew Colangelo.
He invited them to Congress!
Eric, how far away is the election now?
Is it, what, four years?
It's just over four months now.
Oh, that's what I thought.
Jeff, why would you invite the people who are the key instruments of the persecution of the leader of the opposition and not subpoena them if you're the chairman?
Exactly, because they're just gonna run out the clock.
Oh, we'll win in court.
Who cares about that?
Yeah.
It's gonna get interesting.
And I'm gonna text Matt in the break.
Because there you have it.
We have a couple of fighters, and we have people who are running the clock out.
And we don't have the time, ladies and gentlemen.
It's not Thursday, is it?
I'm confused.
Let's go to California!
Antoinette!
Dr. G, we're ready to go.
Yo, you're ruining my clock!
It's Friday!
What are you doing calling me on a Friday?
I was late yesterday!
It was crazy yesterday!
But I have three things I need to share with you today.
Number one, last Saturday I was out there with my sign, Latinos for Trump.
I was right there where they cut you off and you couldn't get closer to the house there in Newport Beach.
So, amazing, a thousand people, Dr. G. Friends of mine were actually in the event.
They were sending me text messages and pictures.
President Trump looked fabulous, so Sunday was amazing.
I mean, Saturday was amazing.
Then Sunday, Dr. G., at our church, our pastor, Pastor Joe Pevitt from Calvary Chapel of the Harbor here in Orange County, He had a young 15-year-old survivor from October the 7th from Israel.
Her name was Ella Kassim.
We sponsored her.
We brought her here to tell the truth and the story.
It was amazing.
Do you know how long she's going to be in the United States, Antoinette?
I don't.
We sponsored her.
I'll find out and I'll get back to you.
I'll text the pastor, but that's great news.
What's the third thing?
From the Mega Musketeers on behalf of us, which includes Daryl from Anaheim and Brent from L.A.
and myself, happy birthday President Trump today!
Flag day!
Thank you, thank you.
The voice for the voiceless.
Thank you for that amazing update.
A survivor of October 7th, we will reach out to the good pastor and see if we can get her on the show as well.
Let's squeeze in one more call.
Matt from Arizona, line 5.
Dr. G, thanks for taking the call.
Just wanted to share the framework of an idea, see if you think it has any value.
Oftentimes, I find myself in conversations where I'm trying to encourage people who I know are highly likely to vote Biden to go the other direction and vote for President Trump.
It can be exhausting and somewhat overwhelming trying to get these people out of CNN, MSNBC, etc.
Bubbles that they live in.
So what do you do?
So this is totally outside my framework, which is why I float it to you.
I don't have the resources or technical expertise to do this, but I wonder what you might think about reaching out to people you may know to create a website that would be dedicated here in the last stretch run leading up to the election that could be A compiled source of facts about the most important things that
You could refer someone you want.
No, that doesn't work, Matt, right?
If they're not on the team, they're not going to go to a site where they think everything they believe is going to be questioned.
That doesn't work.
People who are in a bubble do not approach something that could burst their bubble.
So, Matt, you've got to be Socratic about it.
You ask them a question.
Do what Ronald Reagan did.
It's very simple.
Don't say, will you go to this website?
Ask them a question.
How are you doing right now?
Are you better off than you were four years ago?
You ask the question that they can't refuse, and when they answer the question for themselves, that's the best you can do, Matt.
Matt, you have to plant the seed of doubt.
Got it?
I'm planning them all over the place and hoping they grow.
Good.
It's not hope.
Keep doing it, keep doing it, keep doing it.
Ask them, are they better off than they were four years ago?
The price of gas, the price of food, inflation, the price of their mortgage.
Ask them, are you better off?
It is really the most powerful question you can ask.
Great call.
Thank you, Matt.
I'm Sebastian Gorka.

Uh, what's a fun- Oh, uh, uh, uh.
Who, who made fun of Fanny?

So we've done one, two... We've done four.
We did Gingrich.
Five.
Uh... We did sixteen.
Gates.
Yeah. Come in with 12 and then I'll t up 11.
12 and then tee up 11.
All right.
And then I want to mention birthday cake before podcast and book or cake before.
Okay.
All right.
Come in with 12 and then tee up 11.
Birthday cake.
Thank you.
78.
78.
30 seconds.
All right, where are you calling from?
You're good.
You're good.
All right.
You you
Jeff, that has got to be the old cut.
Is that a new thing from Kamala?
Yeah, that came up today.
they are called. They're in the community, led by members of the community. They are
people who understand the capacity of the community, the needs of the community, the
culture of the community.
Jeff, that has got to be the old cut. Is that a new thing from Kamala?
Yeah, that came up today.
What? Hasn't she done that before?
No, just with other subjects she's done that.
That's what she does, basically.
Didn't she just say a community bank is a bank in the community that's part of the community?
Yeah, I mean, isn't that how you would describe it?
She has to be the thickest person on the planet.
Eric, save that, OK?
That's going to be an evergreen.
Absolutely stunning.
Let's show the photograph for our viewers of President Trump, surprised yesterday, a day early, by the Republicans in Congress with a birthday cake.
It's surprising.
He actually looks happy.
I know the boss.
He hates being reminded of his birthday.
His team surprised him in Singapore with a birthday cake during the peace conference with a little Kim and he wasn't happy he made a
good face and I love the fact describe the cake on the the candles on the
cake Eric it is not the numbers of his age which is 78 it's the numbers 45 and
47 indeed 45 and 47 all right let's squeeze in one more call and let's go to
Ross in New Jersey how you doing good hey I've been listening to the show
I like a lot of the things you say.
One thing you just said was, are you better off now than you were four years ago?
Correct.
That's what Reagan did, and that's what we need to do now.
Yeah, and I completely agree with that.
But one of the answers you'd get from a person on the other side would be, It was, well, it's like that because of the past president.
That's always seemed to be the answer.
Yeah, but those are cretins.
You can't convince them.
Don't waste your oxygen on them.
Right?
We want to bring over the people who have brains.
Right?
Who aren't idiots.
Right, Ross?
You gotta talk to people who are convincible.
If they really think that 8 million illegals is the fault of Donald Trump, they are clinical morons, Ross.
That is true. Thank you kindly. If you want to be a happy warrior, not just on a Friday,

One of the things that President Biden is showcasing during his week in Italy at the G7 is that America is back leading on the world stage.
We are strengthening NATO.
This is President Biden leading on the world stage.
It's a stark contrast, Willie, to what President Trump has offered, which is America going alone, America first, and obviously breaking our alliances around the world.
Isn't that Jeremy Bash?
Is that like the former Democrat Chief of Staff of the CIA?
I believe so.
So he's a really impartial observer of how amazing Biden is.
That's just the quality of commentators that they have over there, yep.
And who's he married to?
Bash, quite an unusual name.
I'm having a very good Friday, especially because I went to a barbecue before the show.
I had a very good cigar, and now I'm going to talk to my cigar buddy, who also likes white label Monte Cristo, as we call him the Baron.
Boris Epstein, welcome back to America First!
Thank you so much, my friend.
It's an honor to be with you, Sebastian.
An honor to be with your audience, and happy Friday to everybody.
Has it been a good cigar week for the Baron?
It's been a good cigar week, yes.
I had a very nice outing on Tuesday.
I had one of the Monte Cristo whites and I was pleased to see that you had one of the very same today.
So look at us.
Great minds think alike.
Great minds think alike.
You know the other reason I'm in a good mood, not just because it's a beautiful day in the swamp and we're cigar'd up.
You could be my sanity check baron.
I look At the mainstream legacy media response to the G7 summit, and I just see people with their hair on fire standing in a dumpster that's on fire.
So, I played this cut already, but I need your expertise advice as senior advisor to the Trump campaign, as my former colleague in the White House.
This is a woman I've never, ever heard of.
I do three hours of radio every single day.
I've got a TV show every weekend on Newsmax.
I've never heard of Adrienne Elrod, Biden's spokesperson.
And what she says, I do find rather telling, my friend.
Cut one!
President Biden was out there literally representing America at the G7, saluting our troops, doing what he does as President of the United States.
And look, we're going to see more of this.
I mean, this is just the reality of campaigning in 2024.
So we have to combat that disinformation.
We have to hit it hard when it happens and make it clear.
That these are dirty tactics that MAGA Republicans are using because they can't run on the issues, Lamar.
They have to run.
They have to use these dirty tactics like this because they are not right with Americans on the issues.
So we're going to see more of this.
We're going to do what we can to combat it.
But it does take the voices of surrogates across the country.
It does take the media to call it out.
It does take social media platforms where a lot of Americans are getting their information to point it out as well.
Doesn't that sound like somebody who's rather desperate, Barron?
Very desperate.
But who was that?
I know.
I mean, you're not supposed to believe the things you see with your own eyes, Barron.
No, no, no.
It's MAGA Republicans.
So, you're right.
I mean, I had an interesting... Yeah, I guess... Is that a new voice for the Democrats?
Is that a new position?
Adrian Elrod, it's like, can you imagine inside the White House when they look at the footage from Italy and they say, uh, I'm not going to talk about that live on cable TV, uh, find the woman who makes the cappuccinos, uh, make her a temporary special assistant for, uh, communications, shove her out on cable TV.
Could you imagine what it was like inside the press room?
Well, and the message is just so ridiculous.
First of all, MAGA Republicans make America great again.
So thank you for the moniker.
We really appreciate the respect.
Yes, we do want to make America great again.
Second of all, we are somehow embarrassing America on the world stage.
Biden literally started talking to thin air as if it were a person.
Everyone saw it.
The stories coming out of Europe are an absolute disaster, and they want to lie to the American people, saying, oh, this is the same kind of disinformation, the same lying that Democrats have been doing for decades, and you have to look no further than the 51 fake intel officials who said that the Hunter Biden laptop, which has now been used by the dot dot dot Biden DOJ, was somehow Russian disinformation.
The Democrats are so desperate, as you said.
They are so pathetic.
And they have nothing to run about.
You want to talk about the issues?
Let's talk about the issues, Adrian.
You want to talk about the border?
You want to talk about the ISIS operatives that Biden has led, or whoever controls them, led into America?
You want to talk about the disaster in Ukraine or the disaster in the Middle East?
You want to talk about those issues?
Let's talk about the issues.
Let's talk about the fact that inflation is up.
Let's talk about the fact that Food is up by 60-70%.
Now, gas is $7 a gallon in California.
Yes, we'd love to talk about the issues, as well as the fact that the completely decrepit person in the White House has no idea what's going on.
So, I've got this piece in front of me, Barron, from the National Pulse, Jack Montgomery, the headline.
Diplomats, of course, behind closed doors, diplomats say Biden's G7 behavior, quote, the worst they've ever seen.
So, if the, especially the British delegation, if the Other nations' officials are blabbing behind closed doors that Biden's lost it.
I have to ask you, as a seasoned campaigner, strategist, advisor to the president, his attorney, What do they do now?
Because they've got, you know, the cackler, the diversity hire, wading in the wings.
I keep hearing from conservatives, they don't even believe that there's going to be a debate in Atlanta.
What is your expectation?
I guess they're going to try to tune them up and get them out there and see what Biden can come up with.
But yes, this is obvious.
The worst week yet, right?
From the disaster in Normandy when he was pretending to sit in a chair that doesn't exist.
Oh, whatever else happened, I'm not going to talk about it.
Right?
Whatever else may have happened on that stage in Normandy.
To the mess at that celebration in the White House when Biden was frozen for a significant amount of time.
To now there's G7 talking to ghosts.
It's a bad time.
And they're obviously trying to set some level of expectations for the debate.
Whatever it is they're doing.
I'll tell you this, I'm always very happy and proud not to be a Democrat and not to be associated with these people, but especially so now because you wouldn't want to be dealing with that nonsense, especially compared to the strength and power and absolute resoluteness and the Authenticity of President Donald J. Trump who's celebrating his birthday today.
I know everyone's wishing him a very happy birthday and lots of success as we march to
the White House.
Let's put that picture up from yesterday's early birthday celebration where the GOP House
and Senate, I guess they don't know the President doesn't like to celebrate his birthday, surprised
him with a cake with the numbers 45 and 47 on it.
Talk to us about the significance of the President's meeting yesterday with all the Republicans
on the Hill.
Well, it was very clear that President Trump is the irrefutable leader of the Republican
Party and he was there in the House, he was there in the Senate meeting with the top members
of both Houses.
And hey, very clearly, you've got Mitch McConnell applauding President Trump, who was no friend of the President's for a long time after the end of 2020, beginning of 2021.
Right now, President Trump is absolutely in control.
He's absolutely the leader of the Republican Party, and everyone is coalescing behind him, exactly as they should be, as we fight together to win back America and make America great again, which is not a slogan, but an action item.
I know.
And then we also had the powerhouse presentation, President Trump, with the business roundtable, and that's another sector of the population, very obviously important.
Group of leadership in America who are also coalescing around the president.
Alright, I'm going to push you one last time and then I'll let you get back to your cigars.
What does the baron's gut tell him?
Is it going to be Biden as the candidate or not?
I think we've got to operate under the assumption that it will be.
Whatever the Democrats have up their sleeve, that's up to them.
But what President Trump is fully focused on, what we're focused on is Bringing America back to greatness, making sure the country is put first, not this nonsense that the Democrats are spewing, and to relieve our country of the embarrassment of crooked Joe Biden and his crime family.

We'll be back after these messages.
Okay, getting the Mike Johnson cut.
It's 20 seconds long, you wanna see it real quick?
Alright, please, yeah.
We've got to be very vigilant about that.
We've got to ensure, for example, that illegals, the millions and millions of illegal aliens who've come into the country under Joe Biden's administration in the last three and a half years, are not going to participate in the federal election in November.
You know, it is a matter of federal law, statutory law, that only U.S.
citizens can decide U.S.
elections.
But we know that illegals are being registered to vote in various places around the country.
So we have legislation we're moving through Congress to ensure that doesn't happen.
All right, come in with that and then I'll do Angel Tree with the Angie audio.
I found this in my reads.
I don't know if it's sitting here by accident or if I've done it already.
Alex, I've got this Midas Gold.
All right, let's do it now.
All right.
We've got to be very vigilant about that.
We've got to ensure, for example, that illegals, the millions and millions of illegal aliens who've come into the country under Joe Biden's administration in the last three and a half years, are not going to participate in the federal election in November.
You know, it is a matter of federal law, statutory law, that only U.S.
citizens can decide U.S.
elections.
But we know that illegals are being registered to vote in various places around the country.
So we have legislation we're moving through Congress to ensure that doesn't happen.
Finally, we have leadership that says it out loud.
We know illegals are voting across the country and we have to take action.
That's Mike Johnson from our new podcast every week here on the Salem News Channel.
It's This Week on the Hill with the speaker We've got five months less, four and a half months left to fix it.
It is up to us.
Not just him, but every American.
That's why my wife, for example, is a chief election officer for our district in Northern Virginia.
Thank you to everyone who has donated to the Angel Tree Summer Camp Prison Program.
Listen to one of the mothers who has been blessed by your largesse.
This is Angie.
People in prison or behind bars, there's a variety of reasons why that happens.
Angel Tree definitely plays a huge factor in bridging that gap, blessing families, blessing the people who are caring for those children, giving hope, showing love and kindness.
Angel Tree is such a good program.
I just think that it's really important to acknowledge just how much they do for our children and loved ones.
Be a blessing to those who are incredibly vulnerable.
More than 70% of the girls and boys across America who have an incarcerated parent will end up behind bars themselves.
We want to break that cycle.
We want to take them to a safe summer camp where they are introduced to the words of our Lord and Savior.
We have Christian summer camps in 49 of the 50 states.
It's $200 per child, but whatever you donate will make a difference.
It's a beautiful thing you do.
Please call in your donation.
It is tax-deductible.
The number for the Prison Fellowship Program is 888-206-2794, or just as easy, go to my website, sebgawker.com, and click on the Angel Tree Summer Camp banner at the top.
That's 888-206-2794, or just go to S-E-B-G-O-R-K-A, sebgawker.com, and the Angel Tree banner.
All right, let's go to your calls.
James, Louisville, Line 1.
Hello, Sebastian.
Nice to talk to you again.
Greetings.
I was hoping Boris would still be on.
I got something to think about.
I'm kind of thinking that all these t-shirts that you're making up might need to be changed to 48 because when Biden loses, I think he might pull the old switcheroo and go ahead and resign and be the cause, the cause celebrity all into history to allow the first female president of the United States.
You mean for the three month period between the election and the inauguration?
Absolutely.
Why would he do that?
This man is obsessed with power and Jill wants it even more than he does.
Why would Jill agree to being turfed out of the White House?
Well, it's not termed.
They would be giving power and they would go down in history as these... No, no, no, but he'd have to give up the presidency.
Why would he?
This guy is a dementia patient who refuses to give it up now.
Why would he give it up after the election?
Because it's lame duck season and nothing gets done during that... But you're not listening to me.
Why would he give it all up?
Because he would be remembered even more.
No, he wouldn't.
He'd go down as the worst president in modern history.
You know that.
He's already going to be that.
Right.
No, I don't buy it for a minute.
You don't know the cut of Jill's jib.
If you think Jill is voluntarily going to move out of the White House, no, James, you need to look more closely at Jill.
But it's an interesting theory.
Let's go to Joe in Illinois.
GG.
You know, I could see Donald Trump putting his son in as Attorney General.
But Don Jr.
has no background in the law.
Like Johnson.
I mean, he kind of pulled them all together, you know, the other day.
But Don Jr.
has no background in the law.
Does it matter?
I don't know.
Well, yeah, if you don't want to make massive mistakes, it's like asking me to be a heart surgeon.
Well... Alright, thank you, Joe.
Let's go to Tom in Atlanta.
Hey, Dr. Gorka.
Hope you're doing well.
Yes.
So, votes... I mean, polls do not translate into votes, and I know you know that, but I think that's a quick way to say what you and I both believe deeply, that The Dems and the sinister left are up to anything and everything to steal the election and to maintain and increase their
Well, you're absolutely right.
A poll is not exactly going to reflect or is any guarantee of what will actually happen with regards to the votes.
But, Tom, what did the polls say back in 2016 about Hillary and President Trump?
Well, they said she was going to win, but the point now is, you know, they've got their hooks into so many parts of the electoral process.
Correct.
That's why it's up to us to get engaged.
Have you volunteered to do any local work on elections?
No, sir.
Well, why not?
I will say this.
I talk to people every day.
No, no, no.
Let's stick on this really important question.
Why haven't you volunteered to do any work on local elections?
I will.
I will.
Well, get busy!
Get busy!
Yes, sir.
Now, I want to, if I can take 30 more seconds, I want, I tell everybody I can how this all came to pass, which I know you know about the document that was put in the Congressional Record by Rep Erlong of Florida in 1962, the Communist Agenda.
Yeah, I'm completely familiar with it.
Yes, but it's far older than that.
It goes back 90 years to somebody called Gramsci in Italy.
But what's your point, Tom?
This is the latest iteration, and I think people will look at that and say, darn, they're pretty much done.
We really need to get up off our collective dust.
Well, Tom, yeah, and what have you done about it?
You've called me on, what is it, June 14th, and you've told me you haven't even volunteered yet to work on a local volunteer basis with regards to securing the election.
Tom, don't come on my show and lecture my listeners about how serious the problem is.
If you haven't Done something about it.
I mean, it's like the Bible says, don't talk about the splinter in your neighbor's eye when you've got a bloody beam in yours.
I'm not doing that, sir.
I know what you're saying and I accept it.
But what I'm saying to you is, every day I show people this document and I tell them how to find it.
Forget about the document.
You're obsessing about one document.
That one document doesn't matter.
Since the dawn of time, evil has existed.
Since Cain killed Abel.
Don't obsess about one document in the Congressional Record.
Of course bastards have existed since humanity was created.
Don't obsess on a document.
Volunteer tonight.
If you haven't done so, you're not a serious patriot.
Stop obsessing about one document you think is important and get serious about saving the country, Tom.
Thank you.
Serious?
I don't get it.
You come on here and you haven't done anything.
You haven't even volunteered.
We're bloody five months out.
What do you think?
Somebody else is going to secure the election for you?
Are you going to wave around a piece of paper?
Oh, in 1962.
What the heck does that do?
Nothing!

A lot of people, it's useless.
He's in Atlanta.
That's a swing state where we had the most problems in 2020.
That's where you, you know what I mean?
Right.
Some of these places, like if you live in red Texas, You can get away without volunteering, right?
Right.
You know what I mean?
What was the document he was obsessing over?
The Communist plan for the takeover of America.
It was read into the record in 1962, but in Congress.
I'm more worried about, like, what Johnson just said in that clip we played.
Illegals being registered to vote.
That's, I mean, we talked about how many illegals are here?
Tens of millions?
Yeah.
Like, 50 million.
You get even just one million of them, split it evenly between the five swing states, and there's no chance.
Like, that's... That's hard to do, though.
Hard to do?
There's probably enough people that aren't even real registered.
Do you want to get that Nevada girl on?

I'm Lauren Biss.
I'm here in Nevada documenting for election officials commercial addresses where people do not live and mail ballots may be going to these addresses in the upcoming 2024 elections.
Is Kevin Quincer here?
In Nevada, by the state law, you're required to be registered where you actually live, where you sleep, not where you work, not at a P.O.
box.
So we're trying to get election officials to enforce the law.
And she goes from address to address to address of registered voters.

Jeff, when I sent you that this morning, what did you think?
Um, now we know why Biden got 81 million votes.
Stephen, Bronstein, bars, casinos.
Jeff, when I sent you that this morning, what did you think?
Now we know why Biden got 81 million votes.
That's what I thought.
The voter rolls in Nevada have voters registered at 7-11s, at post offices, at vacant lots,
at casinos.
We're going to get that lady and her organization on the show because we've got to stop it, guys.
Don't talk to me about documents from 1962 read into the congressional record.
Get busy!
Also, it's Friday.
It's Second Amendment Friday.
We are so grateful to Justin Moon and his amazing organization that revolutionized the way we think about concealed carry.
It is Car Firearms.
They stand for the Second Amendment and they understand it is the ultimate guarantor Hi Sebastian!
Check out their amazing line of weapons at KAHR.com. I carry a 9mm car every single day.
They also have the Desert Eagle line and the Auto Ordnance line of historic military weapons,
including the M1 Carbine, the Tommy Gun, and the 1911. Go to KAHR.com. KAHR.com.
Let's go to Cole in Los Angeles, line 2.
Hi, Sebastian.
Yesterday, I was looking at an article in the Wall Street Journal about this
Chinese mega poor down in Peru.
and And I had totally missed this in the last three years.
Supposedly it started in 2019, and then Biden et al have done squat about it.
And it's really, really concerned me.
And I've been wanting to get your thoughts on this whole China thing now for quite a long time, because I get your very tuned in to the situation here, but this mega port down looking at the article right now, this huge property.
It's been flattened and all, you know what I mean?
So what are your thoughts on this and whether my concern is like, you know, appropriate or I think it is.
I think that thing has to be halted somehow.
Don't you think?
Well, not really, because I'm not concerned about Peru right now.
I'm concerned about Chinese state assets buying up farmland in America next to incredibly sensitive military sites.
I'm concerned with surveillance balloons being flown across our army bases, our missile bases, as the Biden administration does nothing.
Of course, China is militarizing everywhere.
Of course, they're creating You know, assets and stripping across Africa for rare earth minerals, building ports for tin pot dictatorships to have military bases.
But they're here inside the wire, Cole.
Let's deal with that first.
And let's get President Trump re-elected.
One way you can stop is to please divest yourself, separate yourself from the big cell phone providers, because they're all left-wing.
They're all woke.

They're even funding Planned Parenthood with the money you make them.
Don't fund people who hate you and hate your values.
Switch to the only Christian conservative cell phone company in the nation.
It's the one I use.
It's called Patriot Mobile.
They have the same nationwide coverage.
They have a performance guarantee, free activation with my name, extra discounts for veterans and first responders, and it's so easy because you keep your old number.
You keep your old phone or get an upgrade from Patriot and you just call 972-PATRIOT or go to patriotmobile.com slash Gorka to switch.

Mic's on.
Been a while since we've had him on.
It has been.
I just hope he's got a good connection.
He's got a good connection.
He's connected. Two minutes. Mm hmm. How does anyone who's got a system of that work? I'm
sure we'll tell you. Firing the first one is a bit. Don't try this at home. I won't
make sure. Okay, 90 seconds.
You can talk now.
Sir, is there any chance if you can stabilize the camera, you know, on your desk or maybe somewhere, you know, on the surface first?
Hello?
Sir?
Can you hear me?
Ian, have you got us?
Yeah, we got you set.
All right.
Can you stabilize the camera?
Yeah, hang on a minute.
Let me just do that right now.
One minute.
Send you an image.
Um, sir, so if you can actually move back, I mean, back and a little bit to your left, be great.
All right.
Stay.
Oh, now you flipped it.
I lost the image.
Yep.
You got to enable the video.
You disabled it.
It's that icon.
There he is.
Give me two shot guys.
Yeah, I'm just going to work with it.
Good, perfect.
Don't forget to connect me to the Terpian.
Yes, yes, I will.
I'll be there in about a week's time.
All right.
How come we've got a good connection?
Have you moved house?
No, just changed ISPs.
Stand up, stand by.
This is Second Amendment Friday on America First, brought to you by Carr Firearms.
We should all be grateful for the fact that for the time being we remain the freest nation on God's green earth, and why is that?
Well, because the founding fathers knew it.
We have unalienable civil rights, and those stem from the first civil right that makes all the others possible.
It is the Second Amendment, and no company knows that better than Carr Firearms.
They symbolize that right, and I am proud to carry one of their 9mm every single day.
Justin Moon, whose family escaped from communist Korea, understands it too.

We're back with a good buddy, the man who's behind the best publication out there when
it comes to firearms.
It's called Recoil, and he's Ian Harrison.
You're too kind, sir.
All right.
We have to dive into what you've been doing in a certain country that's bordering Russia.
But first things first, let's talk about the breaking news.
The Supreme Court and the decision when it comes to bump stocks.
Should we be having a party tonight, Ian?
I know I am.
I don't know if you are, sir, but I... Well, I'm just waiting.
I'm just waiting for all these miraculous stories to be posted online of all the bump stocks that will have been recovered from all those boating accidents suddenly.
What about you?
Yeah, I think there's going to be a lot of people who suddenly rediscover they may have one.
And I've got to hand it to the Supreme Court.
They've been setting us some great precedents and having done some great decisions recently.
Yeah, and if I remember correctly from this morning, of course, it was Justice Clarence Thomas who wrote the opinion, the 6-3 opinion, who, by the way, I don't think I'm talking out of school, we share the same FFL.
So me and the Associate Justice, we buy our guns from the same federal firearms licensed dealer.
All right, there is a phrase Amongst television hosts, Don't Try This at Home.
And we have a photograph illustrating Ian's version of Don't Try This at Home of you riding in a car with something that looks like it's going to go bang and it's lying on your knees.
Can you explain one of your recent videos?
Because look, I'm a gun guy.
But I may have missed something when I served in the British Territorial Army.
You are, of course, a veteran of the Brits as well.
I thought a rocket-propelled grenade is different from a mortar.
Did I mix something or forget something in my recognition class?
That all depends where you are.
It's very situationally dependent, sir.
So explain that video and what it's about.
So on a recent trip to Ukraine, where I've been reporting on this war and the situation there for the last almost two years for Recoil.
On a recent trip, I was introduced to the novel concept whereby the Ukrainians, they're having to improvise, adapt and overcome.
And so they were using cold 82 millimeter mortar rounds, which didn't reach the specifications that they needed.
And simply using a conversion device and bolting them up to an RPG 7 rocket and firing them out of an RPG.
So you're taking a dumb mortar round and you're closing it onto the rocket propellant base of a RPG.
Does it work, Ian?
At this point, you should be thinking, what could possibly go wrong?
And I have to tell you, yes, it does work.
It works exceptionally well.
And it's RPG accurate, which is not as good as most anti-tank weapons, but it does nonetheless enable the individual infantryman to throw quite a substantial charge for about 300-400 meters.
You've got to follow this guy at RecoilMag on Twitter.
RecoilWeb.com.
That truly is the best.
I mean I've been reading gun mags since I could walk.
Recoil is the best.
So give us, you've been in the field, you've been talking to, helping the brave freedom fighters in Ukraine.
How's it going?
Are they tapped out?
Are they learning stuff?
Give us an unclassified sit-rep.
To your point, Seb, yeah, being tapped out, pretty much, they do have a manpower shortage.
The guys who have been fighting for the last two years are very tired.
The general civilian population is particularly tired as well.
However, now that Western arms, particularly US arms, are starting to re-enter the country, they have been given a fair bit of a boost because of that.
And I'm going back there in the near future, and I'll give you a more in-depth report as to what I see then.
But at the moment, they're holding their own despite all odds.
So I was, funny, last night over cigars we were discussing exactly this topic with some friends of mine and my buddy made a very, very trenchant point.
He said, despite being part of the former Soviet bloc, the Ukrainians have a much greater propensity or potential for actually Understanding small unit tactics and understanding the role of the NCO and initiative, which really doesn't exist in the Russian post-Soviet army, therefore they have an edge.
Is that a fair assessment from the ground of the Ukrainian capacity to be more Western in their way of war?
They are more Western in their way of war, however, there is still very much a little bit of the old Soviet doctrines in there.
The first time I encountered the Ukrainian Armed Forces was back in the Balkans in the mid-90s.
And they have to say they've come a long way since then, because back then they were not particularly adept.
So I'll leave it there.
However, particularly since 2014, from what I've seen, they've made considerable advancements, particularly in the adoption of Western doctrines and allowing the lowest Guys on the totem pole to make the most important decisions.
Well, that is the way we do it.
I mean, the idea, tell a Russian that we allow sergeants to fly, you know, million-dollar helicopters and they simply won't believe you.
We're talking to Ian Harrison, editor of the Superb Recall magazine.
We've only got about 30 seconds left.
You're on the ground, you go back there, you help them out.
What is the status of morale of the Ukrainian people?
People are very much in it to win it.
Nobody having existed under Soviet occupation before wants to go back there.
So they're very, very highly motivated to make sure that doesn't happen.
Fabulous.
All right, you promised to me that you would introduce us to your interpreter who can also give us a sense of how the Ukrainians are doing.
I look forward to interviewing her as well.
In the meantime, at recoilmag and recoilweb.com, a man who knows his weapons and sometimes Improvises them.
Stay frosty, my friend.

So you think they're gonna provide Mr. Colangelo here to answer our questions?
I would not expect Mr. Colangelo to show up.
And do you base that opinion on the lawsuit that Alvin Bragg filed against Jim Jordan in his official capacity in the Committee on the Judiciary?
I saw some of that, yeah.
I mean, look, you have a legitimate legislative purpose to be inquiring as to what you're doing.
So they have no leg to stand on.
But they're not going to come because we ask.
And they're not going to come because they say so.
And we learned that by observing our dear friends at the Oversight Committee.
Because this will surprise a lot of Americans.
After hearing the enthusiasm around oversight of the Biden crime family, we Never sent a subpoena to Hunter Biden to give live testimony before Congress.
Let that sink in.
The Republican House majority has never subpoenaed Hunter Biden for live testimony in public.
We've never done it.
And I worry that, you know, we're going about the same kind of process here, and we may end up there in July, right after sentencing.
Come in with it?
Okay.
It's just shy two minutes long.
Okay.
Okay, 30 seconds.
You You
You Thank you.
So you think they're going to provide Mr. Colangelo here to answer our questions?

And I worry that, you know, we're going about the same kind of process here.
And we may end up there in July, right after sentencing, with an empty Alvin Bragg nameplate and an empty Matthew Colangelo nameplate.
And then we'll start the process again on letters and subpoenas and accommodation.
And I've just grown tired of it. And I think you're right, Ms. Foley, that this
is all professional wrestling.
There's no real effort to bring the Jeff, did Matt Gaetz just call the Republican Party professional wrestling?
One second, I got a motion. Mr. Chairman, I move under Committee Rule 4 and Clause 2M
of House Rule 11 to require the attendance and testimony of Alvin Bragg and Matthew Colangelo
on July 12th to discuss their involvement in the Trump prosecution,
including their offices coordination with the Department of Justice.
Mr. Chairman.
Wow. Jeff, did Matt Gaetz just call the Republican Party professional wrestling?
Yeah, it sure seems like it, doesn't it?
Why would you not subpoena Hunter Biden?
I I don't get it either.
Honestly, I don't.
Especially after we know what?
He was just convicted of three felony gun crimes.
Based upon what?
The evidence of the laptop.
So we now have the DOJ confirm the laptop is real.
But the Republicans won't subpoena Hunter Biden to a public hearing.
I'm going to ruminate over that all weekend because we need to turn the heat up and we turn the heat up on those who are meant to represent us and are meant to represent the truth.

Next up, let's have some fun.
It's Friday.
We can unwind a little bit with a cinematic classic.
The great Gregory Peck in To Kill a Mockingbird.
Stay with us here with Mr. Reagan and Making Movies Great Again.
This is a production of the Center for Contemporary Art.
www.CenterForCenturyArt.com www.CenterForCenturyArt.com
Impressive.
Most impressive.
See things you people wouldn't believe. When the talk didn't lie.
Bye.
Oh, my God.
Let's go see him together.
Captain, uh, somebody told me just now that, uh, They thought that you believed Tom Robinson's story against Iron.
You know what I said.
I said you're wrong, man.
You're dead wrong!
Mr. Finch ain't taking his story against Iron.
Well, he was wrong, wasn't he?
I've been appointed to defend Tom Robinson.
Now that he's been charged, that's what I intend to do.
You taking this to...
Excuse me, Mr. Ewell.
What kind of man are you?
You got children of your own!
What kind of man is Atticus Finch?
That is the question.
Of one of the most famous books of the last century, and one of the most famous films.
It may have taken us a while to get around to it.
It is, of course, To Kill a Mockingbird.
And I'm delighted to dissect it with our good friend, my co-host for Making Movies Great Again, the host of the superb Mr. Reagan and Alpha Critic channels on YouTube, as well as the Yeah, it's excellent because you graced us with your presence, and it was a magnificent livestream.
Excellent. Chris Coles, welcome.
Yeah, it's excellent because you graced us with your presence and it was a magnificent livestream.
This is... let me tell you something about the film that you picked.
Okay. I didn't pick it.
It was a caller.
It was a caller who said, we have a problem with the justice system.
You need to review talks that you need to review to kill a mockingbird.
I'd already chosen out another movie.
But hey, we are here to serve.
Are we not Chris?
Well, I do.
You know what, I feel like I have been duped.
I feel a little bit like I've been set up.
watching this film because you know we often try to find parallels in films of the past to you know things that might be going on today and this film is such a ridiculously direct metaphor for everything that's going on today the injustice in our system it's it's it's almost like it's almost like It's almost too easy to analyze this film at this particular point in time.
And I will say two things real quick.
I'm just of two minds of this film.
I'll say the negative one first.
I do feel like the legacy of this film had some unintended consequences, which we will get to eventually.
Okay.
But the good This is a masterpiece in every sense of the word.
I mean, the story is a masterpiece.
The screenplay is a masterpiece.
The production value is a masterpiece.
The acting is a masterpiece.
The score is a masterpiece.
It is just a brilliant film.
And it makes absolute sense that it's had the impact that it has had on the culture.
It makes absolute sense that it is considered a classic.
But it is a kind of a heavy film to watch.
I think you have to be a little bit prepared.
I may regret asking this question, given some of the answers you've given me in the past, here, as we make movies great again.
Have you seen this film before, Chris Coles?
Yeah.
I have seen this film before, of course.
You know, it's been such a long time, though, I have to say, there's little things that I forgot.
I forgot how much of the film Is told from the perspective of the children.
Yeah.
It really is from the perspective of the children, and that makes a lot of fun.
And I have to say, I don't think I've ever seen children depicted quite as well as in this film.
I don't have any kids of my own, but I have nieces and nephews.
And oftentimes in film and TV today, they will cast a child who sounds wise beyond their years, right?
They're sort of like You know, almost supernaturally cute.
They've got this, they're almost artificially, uh, they're too intelligent for their years.
They speak too well.
These kids are just kids, you know?
They're just normal kids.
They're messy.
They slam the door.
They fight.
They say the things that little kids say.
And it actually kind of took me back to my own childhood, and it was really, really nice to just kind of get a glimpse into that world again of childhood, you know?
It's...
Some have said that this is two movies in one that are cloche together less than successfully because half of the movie is the kids obsession with Boo Radley next door and then the other half is the court case about Tom Robinson.
I'm curious to hear what you think about that but let's just stop on the first half.
These kids are amazing.
I mean, you know, the actress playing Scout wasn't an actress.
She was nine years old.
She was the daughter of a film director whose mom heard that they were coming to town to, you know, do auditions for Scout and then she got the part.
And just for me, As you said, you're so taken back into that time as a child when you do stupid things just to be stupid.
Like, you know, the doorbell dash, the creeping up on the neighbor's house, the scary house.
It perfectly captures that kind of, what is it, that illogical want of fun that a little kid is driven by.
A hundred percent.
Getting into the tire and being pushed down the street.
Like, it's just a recipe for disaster, but we all did that stuff when we were kids, you know.
Before computers.
Yeah, there's a moment at the beginning where the relationship is established between Scout, the young girl, the tomboy, and her father, when they talk about, I guess, inheritance and legacy as she's about to fall asleep.
Let's hear that moment.
To Atticus, my beloved husband.
Atticus, Jim says this watch is gonna belong to him someday.
That's right.
Why?
Well... Customary.
For the boy to have his father's watch.
What are you gonna give me?
Well... I don't know that I have much else of value that belongs to me.
There's a pearl necklace.
There's a ring that belonged to your mother.
and I put them away and they're to be yours.
The great Gregory Peck and Scout.
I don't know if it's a Southern thing here in America.
I was treated rather weird by my friends in England.
I think it was a function of being an only child.
I, too, referred to my parents by their Christian names.
I didn't call them mum or dad.
I called my father Paul and I called my mum Susan.
Just like Scout calls her father Atticus.
Is that a Southern thing?
Can you fill me in, Chris?
No, it's a weird thing and you're a weirdo.
And it's one of the few things I don't like about this movie because it's so confusing.
It takes me out of it.
I never met anyone in my life who called their parents by their Christian name other than you.
Which makes me special.
I think the word you're looking for is special as opposed to weird.
Yeah, like the kids who take the short bus special.
So for me, I'm watching the film and it's almost like In my head, it's very hard to reconcile that it's her father because, you know, obviously actors and actresses, you know, children and parents, they don't have that familial look.
You know what I mean?
I mean, that's always sort of like a disadvantage of the cinema is that you want to cast the best actress, but they may not look exactly like, you know, they're the kid of this person.
And so you kind of have to suspend disbelief.
And when you have the child referring to the parent by their first name, it doesn't help the situation.
So obviously they're watching and the whole thing, I'm thinking like it's her uncle, or it's like her stepdad or something, but it isn't.
It's her father.
And previously when I've seen this film, I have the same, what do you call it?
Disconnect.
Cognitive dissonance.
I've got this cognitive dissonance where I cannot Reconcile this thing throughout the whole dang film, uh, but yeah, I mean it's, it's, it's a quirk, you know, and there's a lot of quirky things about this film.
I mean, uh, her name's Scout.
His name's friggin Atticus.
Who the hell is named Atticus?
What about the cook who sounds like a character out of iClaudius?
Calpurnia.
I mean, it's just like, Maybe that's a southern thing too.

We've heard from Joseph before during our Angel Tree Summer Camp campaign.
You remember, the little boy with the coloring book who said that his father may be in prison, but he's got a father here in heaven?
Well, Joseph is back.
Have a listen.
This is my second year.
All the kids from my cabin last year are in the same cabin this year, so I know a bunch of kids.
Camp is a good place to make friends and, well, they can learn more about Jesus and they can learn more about each other and they can find similarities with each other.
When you know there's more people like you, you don't feel left out.
When you know there's more people like you, you don't feel so left out.
These are the children who've lost the mother or father to the prison system, 70% of whom will end up incarcerated themselves.
We want to break that cycle.
We want to help them feel loved and to introduce them to the Word of Jesus Christ.
We do that with summer camps, Christian summer camps, in 49 of the 50 states.
But only with your help.
We sent thousands of children to these camps last year.
Let's break that record.

Clearly, Scout is a very smart young lass, but she has to be taught some words, like the word compromise and what it means.
You know what a compromise is?
Abandon the law?
No, it's an agreement reached by mutual consent.
Now, here's the way it works.
You concede the necessity of going to school.
We'll keep right on reading the same every night.
Just as we always have.
Is that a bargain?
There just didn't seem to be anyone or anything Atticus couldn't explain.
Though it wasn't a talent that would arouse the admiration of any of our friends, Gemini had to admit he was very good at that.
I have to say, Chris, those are the only moments that I'm suddenly jerked out where you have clearly, you know, the old... I mean, this is meant to be quite autobiographical, so the author Harper Lee based this on an experience in her childhood in the South, in Alabama.
But when the narrator's voice comes in, when the older scout's voice comes in, I'm kind of like, I'm jarred for a second.
How about you?
Yeah, that's probably true.
That's probably true.
I don't mind it.
I don't mind voiceover narration.
You know, it was a novel.
It was a huge hit at the time.
So I imagine that probably lots of people had read the novel.
And I feel like probably at the time the film came out, people thought it was appropriate, you know, to have a narrator come in to remind them.
That this is the story of a woman.
I mean, it's essentially her autobiography.
It's an embellished autobiography, a romanticized version of her life as a child.
A lot of the events that occur in the film and in the novel actually occurred in her real life.
Actually, the weird kid that they meet at the beginning... Dil!
Dil!
The guy who's visiting.
Dil.
Yeah.
Right.
That's a fictionalized version of her friend who was also an acclaimed author, Truman Capote, who wrote Breakfast at Tiffany's, I believe.
So, yeah.
So, like, all of these characters are real.
I mean, this is her real father.
She's Scout.
Obviously, she had a brother.
I mean, these are all characters that she knew from real life.
Again, embellished life story.
But, you know, I think it works in my mind.
For that reason.
But also, it's just kind of like a product of the time, you know, you would have films like this with a voiceover narration, occasionally TV shows and stuff like the Twilight Zone would do things like this.
And I give it a pass, I think because of just such strong acting, brilliant cinematography, it does pull you out a little bit.
But I mean, you can't, I don't think you can fault the performance of Gregory Peck.
No, Gregory Peck was not born in the South, but his response there that you just played,
when he has to tell his daughter that she's wrong about the definition of compromise,
right?
I mean, she's right in a way, if something is compromised, right?
It's faulty, it doesn't work.
But that's not the definition that he's trying to present to her.
So he listens to her.
There's a long pause there after she presents her definition.
And he just turns and he goes, uh, no.
Sort of like slight Southern drawl.
And, uh, yeah.
And then he explains it to her very gently.
And he just seems like the best father ever.
I mean, he's a very handsome guy.
He looks like if the movie Superman, With Christopher Reeve had been produced in the early 1960s.
I feel like he would have got that role.
He looks like Superman.
He's got the melodic voice of Sebastian Gorka, almost.
Eric's obsessed with the voice of Gregory Peck.
Just a magnificent voice.
And when you have an actor like that, I feel like most of the time, if they're that gifted in terms of just being like, You know, a handsome man that you imagine women are probably going to go crazy for.
You usually end up with a kind of like mod, you know, moderately gifted actor.
He's probably not going to be the most talented actor you've ever seen.
He's not going to probably have gravitas and seem that brilliant, but not only is he handsome, not only he's got a great voice, but the man can act and he just, he just seems like the guy in the role.
And you just have so much respect for him, and you know, it's amazing to me that she's not really an actress, that Scout's not really an actress, because how do you get that performance out of a girl?
I have to say, it makes a lot of sense that Truman Capote is, you know, that Dil is based on Truman Capote.
But all of the kids are amazing.
How many movies have you seen where there's a kid in it for like five minutes and it's just awful, it's garbage, they can't act, they're like saccharine or whatever and here you have at least an hour with these three kids and you are there with them, you've done what they've done.
As to Gregory Peck, Uh, he says here this was the greatest thing that ever happened to him because he was allowed to be himself.
This wasn't a character.
He may have, you know, done a little bit of a drawl, but what you see is Gregory Peck.
So one of those guys who... What is the phrase you always use?
Very, very naturalistic, right Chris?
Yeah, authentic.
Yeah, yeah.
And and you really feel like you know, these people by the end of the movie.
Yeah, the only person that I didn't feel like I knew well was boo.
But for obvious reasons.
Wait.
Yeah, for obvious reasons.
I don't actually like characters that are insane or intellectually infirm, let's
call them.
I don't like characters like that, generally speaking.
And I don't really think this is an exception.
And the reason is because I don't feel like they're either...
You want characters that are either detestable, or characters that you are aspirational,
or characters that are relatable.
And you want characters that have agency.
If somebody has mental issues, it's the counter-definition of agency.
They don't have agency.
Precisely.
I consider a character with mental issues to be very similar to a robot, right?
Like an android.
I never have any sort of like Feeling that I can relate to an android.
Or it's a plot device.
Right?
I think Boo is a plot device, really, right?
Precisely.

Alright, come in with Gregory Peck, interview, and then I'll do my pillow.
I've had, I guess, more plaques and statues and certificates from that one than from any other picture, but looking back on it, I think maybe it was the easiest picture to make of any that I can recall.
I guess it's because We identified emotionally with everything that happened in there.
The character was one that I recognized from the moment I read the book.
I had a small town upbringing.
I was a kid who climbed trees and rolled around curled up in a rubber tire.
My father was not the town lawyer, but he was the town druggist.
There was only one of everything.
So, uh, it all fell into place, and it was like swimming downstream the whole time.

Alright, here's Atticus Finch being a diplomat with his crotchety neighbor.
Hey, Mr. Bose!
Don't you say hey to me, you ugly girl!
You say good afternoon, Mr. Bose!
You come over here when I'm talking to you!
You come over here!
Hey, Anastasia!
Do you listen to me when I'm talking to you?
Anastasia!
Anastasia!
Don't your daddy teach you to respect old people?
You come back here, Jane Louise Dick!
Good afternoon, Mr. Bose.
My!
You look like a picture this afternoon.
He don't say a picture of what?
My goodness gracious, look at your flowers.
Have you ever seen anything more beautiful?
Miss DuBose, the gardens at Bellingrath have nothing to compare with your flowers.
Oh, I don't think they're as nice as last year.
Oh, I can't agree with you.
I think that your yard is going to be the showplace of this town.
Well, grand seeing you, Miss DuBose.
Atticus Finch being gracious with the elderly neighbour.
It's funny what you said, you kind of stole my thunder about 15 minutes ago.
I've seen this film many times, reruns on British TV, on BBC, and I never got it.
I never got the relationship of the children to Atticus as one of being in a family.
It was like they're staying at this guy's house and he's looking after them.
And not because, you know, she calls him by his first name, because that was normal for me, as I told you.
There's also this, you know, he is the quintessential Southern gent.
I mean, it's 100 degrees and he's got a waistcoat.
He's got a vest on when he goes to work, right?
He's got a hat.
He's impeccably dressed.
And then scouts running around in blue jeans and dungarees, right?
Rolling around in car ties.
So there's, for me, it's strange that this relationship, although tender, Isn't a classic cinematic one of child to father.
But it doesn't seem to be a problem.
He's almost too proper to be a father.
Yes.
Because in our real lives, fathers yell at their kids all the time.
Like it just happens, you know?
I mean, kids are frustrating.
He's too patient.
He's so patient, it's almost unnatural, right?
I mean, there's a few things that I would... And who's the only one who gets angry and shouts at her, remember?
It's Calpurnia!
It's the cook who whips her butt!
Yes, she disciplines the girl, which actually I thought was a really interesting and fascinating dynamic, where they have this sort of live-in helper.
Obviously, she's not a slave.
This is after the slave days.
Uh, but she's some kind of, you know, maid or, or nanny or something.
Because there's no mother.
There's like this default mother that's never mentioned.
But she's, she's, she feels comfortable spanking the children, disciplining the children.
She's essentially like an aunt or a, you know, a mother.
And, you know, she works well as part of the family, and I think she seems to be loved like part of the family.
Yes.
And I actually think that was a dynamic that people understood in the 1960s.
They understood that not every, you know, black-white dynamic where the black person was the servant and the white person was the master, quote-unquote, was this antagonistic, hateful relationship, this horror
show that they depicted in movies today.
I think people in the 60s understood with films like Gone with the Wind and this film,
you know, that there was a sort of potentially loving, familial relationship between black
people and white people historically since the beginning of the country, really.
Shall we talk about the obvious parallels to today?
No, no, no.
That's the next segment.
Let's have people on tent hooks until then.

The alleged victim who actually lied about being raped, who was beaten by her father instead, and who blames Tom Robinson, who will pay the ultimate price.
We're talking to Kill A Mockingbird.
I'm Sebastian Gawker.
We're making movies great again with my buddy Chris Coles.
Chris, let's pull all the way to 2024.
Why is this recommendation from one of our listeners so very, very apposite?
Well, first of all, I'd like to point out that it's really interesting to me that E. Jean Carroll was always an overly dramatic weirdo, as you can see in the film here.
Yeah, she had her first acting role.
Right, yeah, her first acting role.
Just phenomenal, right out of the park there.
All the nuance and dramatic... Subtlety, dramatic subtlety.
Subtlety that she would need in the later years, yeah.
But what's weird about this movie is, like, Okay, they depict the Southern whites as a bunch of, you know, redneck racists.
Okay.
Were there redneck racists in the history of America?
Of course.
Were there injustices throughout history?
Of course, of course.
This film is particularly poignant because it's like, well, this is an innocent black man and You know, a bunch of Southern white men who want to lynch him.
This is a very evocative story, something a lot of Americans would potentially become upset about reading it in a novel or watching it in a film.
What you've got to realize is that in America we've kind of had this, and this is kind of getting to something I want to talk about a little bit later, but we kind of have these stereotypes now, a little bit, about who is a victim and who is a perpetrator and all these kinds of things.
Especially on the left.
The left now has very specific ideas about who is a villain and who is a victim.
But the reality is, all of these people in this courtroom, they're southern white gentlemen.
And I believe the 30s, was it?
Something like that.
Yes.
1932.
Yeah.
These are all Democrats.
I just want to point that out.
Every one of these people you know voted Democrat.
And they're bigots, right?
They're portrayed in this film.
It's fiction, but they're portrayed as bigots.
Today, in our country today, the Democrats have not changed.
They're still bigots.
They have simply shifted the direction of their bigotry.
It's no longer, you know, the innocent black man.
Now it is the Innocent, white, conservative man.
They point to a certain demographic.
Don't forget Christian.
Don't forget Christian.
Obviously Christian.
And they say, you're the evil one.
You're the bad guy.
It doesn't matter what we do to you because you're intrinsically evil.
And the most evil of all is the one that scares them.
Because he's one that can actually stand up to them.
And that man's name is Donald Trump.
And what's fascinating to me, if you've not seen this film in a long time, go back and watch it.
Because if only Donald Trump had a lawyer as magnificent as Atticus Finch.
You know what I mean?
Even in a rigged case, I think maybe Donald Trump would have had a chance.
You know, even Atticus Finch fails in this film.
I mean, spoiler alert, but he is unable to find justice.
The jury is rigged, as it was in a certain courtroom in Manhattan four weeks ago.
Yeah, exactly.
So, you know, watching this movie, it's amazing.
The innocent black man that is being accused of a heinous crime is now Exactly, essentially, who this film made many people hate, which is the rich, straight, Christian white man, you know, that people now stereotype as evil, that has become the victim of an absolutely cruel injustice, you know, the weaponization of our judicial system, and the parallels
We're actually quite startling watching this film like you kind of get it at some point you're watching the movie because you know it's been a long time since I've seen this you're watching the movie you get the parallels it clicks and I think I've been set up I've been set up to watch this movie and find this of course it's such an obvious glaring parallel but what's amazing is as you continue to watch it It just gets more and more perfect.
The parallel is so perfect.
Because a rigged trial is a rigged trial, okay?
It doesn't matter who you are.
If you're an innocent man, and you go to court, and that court is rigged against you, it's a terrible injustice.
And that's exactly what's happened in the fictional film here, and it's exactly what's happened in real life against Donald Trump.
And to just build on what you said about the reversal of the racial injustice with the innocent black man and then today what's happening to the former president.
I'll just quote Pastor Burns who was Mark Burns who was on my show two days ago who's just Been endorsed by President Trump.
President Trump is the blackest president we've ever had.
And that's Pastor Mark Burns.
Let's hear a clip from the most famous monologue, perhaps, in cinema history.
The closing argument from Counsel Atticus Finch.
Now gentlemen, in this country, our courts are the great levelers.
In our courts, All men are created equal.
I'm no idealist to believe firmly in the integrity of our court and our jury system.
That's no ideal to me.
that is a living, working reality.
Now, I am confident that you gentlemen will review
without Bye.
Passion.
The evidence that you have heard.
Come to a decision and restore this man to his family.

Let's tie in our current movie review with the movie we reviewed last week.
Let's listen to Indiana Jones on Gregory Peck and To Kill a Mockingbird.
I think if I had to pick just one film to which I had a very strong reaction and can remember vividly how I felt, it would be Kill a Mockingbird.
I think it had all of the elements of a great film and it had a moral sort of It had such a strong moral register, and I think that's why I would say it's very nearly my favorite.
Chris, there's one, well, couple of criticisms that have been leveled against this movie.
Of course, you know, the woke idiot saying, oh, it's about the white crusader complex, because that's what everything's about for them.
The second one, which is something I can kind of see, and I'm curious what you think, Some have said the movie's too simplistic and too naive.
I've never been accused of being a complicated guy, but even for me, the beats are not subtle beats.
The beats, they're not quite on the nose, but the story is uncomplicated, which is probably part of its power.
Is there anything to this being Too simple a story?
Or can we just say, hang on a second, it's being told from the perspective of a nine-year-old child to begin with?
Let me just say, I do actually write very sophisticated stories.
That's sort of my thing.
I know that's kind of an arrogant thing to say, but the reason I say it is because it's sort of like baking or cooking, right?
You see these cooking shows.
I once met a guy who was in school for cooking, right?
He was in culinary school.
And he said, like, the hardest thing to make is really good scrambled eggs.
And he says, why is scrambled eggs so difficult to make?
Because you can't hide it with any other ingredients.
You can't put in a little spice here or something.
You know, the simplest things to make are the most difficult because you cannot hide it.
That pure thing.
Everybody knows what it tastes like, and if you do it perfectly, everybody's like, wow, this is perfect.
Are you saying that you hide your lack of talent with lots of spice, Chris?
No, my stuff's genius.
But if you write a more complicated screenplay or story, it's You can hide some things.
And I will say, like, a lot of Democrat messaging, a lot of left-wing messaging in politics is like this.
Yeah.
Where it's very convoluted and complicated.
It's difficult for people to understand.
I try in my shows, I try to use plain language.
I grew up with a mother who was a reader, right?
So we always grew up with... I grew up with a very broad vocabulary.
Not quite as broad, I think, as the Gorka household.
You will sometimes throw a word out there and I'm like, what in the world?
But I grew up with a pretty broad vocabulary, but I have put that aside for my show because I want to speak clearly to my audience and explain what I mean.
Democrats do exactly the opposite.
They try to convolute things in such a way that people don't understand because their ideas are bad.
So they have to convolute it.
In a story, you can kind of do the same thing.
Exactly.
You can kind of hide your mistakes.
I actually want to talk about this film in a way that I don't think anybody will accept.
Kind of a slightly unexpected way.
I think this film is actually too good.
Too good.
It's such a good film that I think it has had a much bigger impact on society than it should have.
It's sort of like Christianity, right?
We look at Christianity and we say, Christianity tells us to love our neighbor, to love our enemy, to love the other, right?
To be the good Samaritan.
And some people take that way too far.
And they go, you know what?
I'm going to love the other, the different person, the person from the other culture, more than I love my own culture, more than I love my own family, more than I love my own children.
You know, they get this complex where they think that is the most virtuous way to be.
To appreciate the person that is so different from you that you don't even understand them or you've never even met them because they're, you know, on the other side of the world or of a different culture, something like that.
And I think what happened with this movie is that this guy is such an amazing character.
He's such an upstanding guy.
He's such a respectable character that people want to be him.
And they look at the black victim, and it's such a compelling narrative.
And all the The black members of the, um, what do they call that when they're up there?
Is that the galley?
The gallery.
Yeah, they're on a ship.
They're up in the gallery, looking down.
They're all such good people, and there's this beautiful line at the end.
Where he tells a little girl to stand up because your father's walking by.
Such a beautiful moment.
And all the black people in the gallery, Atticus Finch doesn't even see them.
They all stand up in respect and scowl because, you know, she's his daughter, is just seated down.
And the pastor says, get up, get up, was praying on it to your father.
Every little story element in this movie is so perfect, so cleanly written, so beautifully written, and it's such a powerful moment.
And I think when this movie came out, it really impacted society.
And people don't want to be the evil Southern white racists, right?
They want to be Atticus Finch.
They want to stand up against the evil white racists.
And so I think this movie actually did something terrible to our country in a way, right?
Which is it embedded in the minds of many people who can't distinguish between fiction and reality, which is essentially the main illness of the left, that They are Atticus Finch, and they are standing up to all other white people who are evil and racist.
Well, the reality is this book was unbelievably popular.
This film was unbelievably successful.
And what does that indicate?
That indicates the vast majority of Americans believe that they were Atticus Finch.
The vast majority of Americans Agreed with that message, that you should not unjustly put somebody through a rigged trial and all this kind of stuff.
But the problem is we then started to look at black people as the victim and white people as the evil oppressors.
And I think this film really started that trend and Roots perpetuated it, the miniseries Roots.
Uh, and it's a problem because it is such a compelling story.
Which, by the way, Chris, absolutely, I'm giving you 10 out of 10.
You do this so often.
You bring such amazing, deep, deep analysis to our movies that just cuts to the heart of the matter.
I loved Roots.
I watched it as a kid in the UK and now we know Haley made it all up.
It was garbage.
It wasn't true.
It was a fiction.
It was 100% a fraud.
But it was so good.
Yeah, yeah.
Because they know how to tell stories.
Those who hate our founding Judeo-Christian principles focus on stories.
This is a good story, but it's about the truth.
And I love this quote.
So you know Harper Lee, very odd bird, wrote this book, didn't do any media, got a Pulitzer Prize, didn't do anything, shunned the limelight, then drops a kind of prequel in 2015, 55 years later, and then soon after passes.
This passage was found in a letter to her editors in the early 60s, and it goes straight to the heart of the overthinking, overwrought analysis and the misrepresentation.
She wrote to her editor in response to some garbage review.
She said about her own book, Surely it is plain to the simplest intelligence that my book, To Kill a Mockingbird, spells out in words of seldom more than two syllables a code of honor and conduct, Christian in its ethic, that is the heritage of all Southerners.
Isn't that superb?
It's beautiful.
It's beautifully written, actually.
And you know, I think that was really actually what this was supposed to be.
Uh, you know, but there's this, there's this weird mythology that has been created in America.
You know, there used to be these negative stereotypes about black people, but because of this film and because of Roots and because of things like this, we now have these horrifically negative stereotypes about white people.
We're all racist.
We're all evil, especially straight white men.
And the problem is like lynching.
The concept of lynching is now almost exclusively associated with black men.
But lots of white men were lynched throughout American history.
But we forget about that.
And lots of white men have had to go to court where they were unjustly accused of things.
But we almost exclusively associate that with black men historically in America now, which is completely crazy.
I mean, until 2024.
Of course.

gonzalez next gen marxism what it is on how to combat it that's next gen marxism what it is and
how to combat it all right uh let us uh close our review with um the story about the mockingbird
i remember when my daddy gave me that gun he told me that i should never point at anything in the
house And that he'd rather I shoot at tin cans in the backyard.
But he said that sooner or later, he supposed, the temptation to go after birds would be too much.
And that I could shoot all the blue jays I wanted.
If I could hit them.
But to remember, it was a sin to kill a mockingbird.
Why?
Well, I reckon because mockingbirds don't...
Do anything but make music for us to enjoy.
Don't need people's gardens.
Don't nest in the corn cribs.
They don't do one thing but just sing their hearts out for us.
A sin to kill a mockingbird.
All right, final thoughts, Chris.
The movie cost two million to make, was a massive success, made 13 million.
What is our unit of measure gonna be?
Is it gonna be mockingbirds?
Is it gonna be old tires?
I will let you choose.
Oh, gosh.
I guess it would have to be old pocket knives in trees.
Yes.
Old pocket knives.
That beautiful shot.
Just the opening of the movie, of the trinket box.
Incredible.
Just art.
It is as good as any oil painting.
OK.
Well, you know, the film is shot very much like a late 50s, early 60s film.
But that, I guess you'd call it credit sequence at the start of the film, right?
Is the opening credits.
That sequence looks like late 60s, early 70s.
I mean, that was way ahead of its time.
It was.
When that started, I'm like, am I watching the right movie?
You know?
All right, so grading.
You grade out of 10.
We're going to do out of 10 pocket knives.
You do for a modern audience.
I'm going to do for the canon of all movies.
What do you grade to kill a mockingbird, Chris?
Look, I've laid a lot of criticism on this film and a lot of analysis about its impact, which I think is maybe unintentionally detrimental to the country and all that sort of thing.
But the reason it's had such an impact is because it is such a great film.
And the truth is, if you're a conservative, you're going to take the film, I believe, for what it was meant to be, which was a genuinely heartfelt story about injustice.
And I think that that is what's key here.
You know, you have some people who care about justice and some people who don't.
And I think a conservative can see that that may not be, you know, the way we want to look at the world may not be so superficial as the black people are all the victims and the white people are all the bad guys.
So if you can do that, if you can separate that, you know, that superficial fiction in your mind and maybe look for the more deeper, more appropriate meaning, I think you're going to absolutely love this film.
Hang on, hang on, hang on.
We've got a complaint from Mr. G. He said instead of pocket knives, the unit of measure of grading should be racist Democrats out of 10.
So whether it's racist Southern Democrats or whether it's pocket knives, what is the rating for you, Chris?
KKK hoods, is that what she said?
Out of 10 racist Democrats, I'm going to actually give it, even though it's a little bit of a heavy film, I do think everyone should watch it.
I think everyone will enjoy it.
I think it's a 10 out of 10, this film.
Concur.
20 out of 20.
It's one of our rare 20 out of 20s to kill a mockingbird.
Even if you've seen it before, even if you remember it, watch it again this weekend with an eye to the America you see around you and to the headlines you are reading.
Okay, Chris, I informed you in advance of a special request I have.
You were going to get to choose the next movie, but I would like to request that honor, that privilege, and I'll give you the next two after that, because we've got some sad news.
A friend Of Katie and mine, the great Tony Lo Bianco.
Let's put his image up on the screen.
You'll recognize him.
Tony passed just two days ago at home with his wife, Elise.
And he was one of the great character actors, they say, born to play heavies or Italian cops.
And he was one of the characters in a classic movie we had to get around to sooner or later, Gene Hackman's The French Connection.
So William Friedkin's Gene Hackman with Tony Lobianco.
That's going to be next week, if you permit me, Chris.
Honestly, it's on my list.
And I may well have chosen that anyway.
Superb, superb, superb.
