Mark Davis LIVE: White House under fire, as calls increase for Biden to step down
| Copy link to current segment

Time Text
So, I'm going to go ahead and get my laptop. And I'm going to go ahead and start the game.
And I'm going to start the game.
I'm Sebastian Gorka and this is America First with our very special guest host, the voice of Dallas, Mark Davis.
Thank you, Dr. G. Mark Davis with you from 104 degrees Dallas-Fort Worth.
But you know, even if I were on the Alaska cruise with Dr. Gorka and Mike Gallagher and countless happy listeners, the ocean waters might well be boiling with the heat of today's topics.
Have you been paying attention to what's been going on just in the last couple of hours?
A cringe Jean-Pierre news conference for the ages.
This White House press corps, which has famously not told us the truth, famously denied us the truth year in and year out, for about the last hour has bombarded her in that White House press briefing room with various truths that have just been Remarkable to behold.
Just absolutely remarkable to behold.
Got a couple of them I'm going to share here for you in a couple of minutes, but first let's just take stock of where we are.
Listen, we're going to be welcoming Matt Boyle from Breitbart here in just a few minutes.
If there's anything you want to hop on, first segment, lightning out of the box call 833-33-GORKA,
833-334-6752, because this has been a remarkable week.
Here's where we are today, July 3rd, Independence Day Eve.
The questions that hang from the rafters are, will Joe Biden survive in this campaign?
Can he last as a candidate?
And additionally, can he even last as president?
This drumbeat is growing so loud This drip, drip, drip Chinese water torture, if you can even call it that anymore, has been so persistent that the media are abandoning him left and right.
And again, we've got a couple of pieces of evidence here in a second, but Kareen was just withering under it.
Listen, she's bad on a good day.
And when you've got the usually serviceable, reliable, friendly, can-I-get-you-a-pillow press corps just bombarding her with, will he be able to last?
Is he cognitively able to do this job?
Will he withdraw?
He referred to himself as a transitional candidate.
And Corine Jean-Pierre said yes.
It's one of the reasons he picked Kamala Harris, because he views her as the future of the party.
And a reporter said, Oh, in four years or right about now, anytime.
A couple of things right out of the box for you.
833-33-GORKA.
Amid all this immersion that we're doing into what the Democrats are doing, and we have to because our goal as conservatives is to get Trump to the finish line and be there for him with such stunning numbers that it's even fraud-proof in several key states.
That is our job.
Part of that job in understanding this and communicating it to others is to understand and immerse ourselves in what the other side is saying, what they are doing, their strategies, their claims, their practices.
And now It's just a fascinating under the magnifying glass
experience, because from the leftist media culture to various Democrats in my own state, down
near Austin in Texas' 37th congressional district here, might have heard this yesterday, veteran
Congressman Lloyd Doggett began what has got to be a continuing call for him to just step down.
I mean, there are a few people who have said, you know, they got some tough decisions ahead
of this White House.
But Mr. Doggett has made that decision for himself and is looking for Joe Biden to make
the decision that he seeks, which is to step aside so that a coherent Democrat under 90
can take the reins and maybe beat Trump.
This is what they want.
It's all they want.
And that's why you have to understand me about something.
Do not doubt me.
If it does wind up being Kamala, and you're thinking, There's a walk in the park.
Oh no, it's not.
Of course she's terrible.
I know she's terrible.
We have more video evidence today that she's terrible.
But all the people gathering around talking about how bad she is and the cackle and the non sequiturs and the ridiculousness, we're not going to vote for her anyway.
The minute, I mean the minute, that she is installed as the nominee at the convention in Chicago, in this Stupid, stupid country in this Democrat party that is awash in DEI and identity politics.
They are going to heap so much love, so much relief.
The media culture that we're kind of admiring these days for doling out some truths, that'll stop.
She will all of a sudden become Florence Nightingale, Margaret Thatcher, Eleanor Roosevelt.
She'll be all that and more.
She will be harder for Trump to beat than you think.
Can he beat her?
Yes, he can.
That's the good news.
Do we have to be on our A-game?
Yes, we do.
So all of these things are front of mind.
Let me give you some of this.
Boy, jet lag.
You know, I've done some international travel.
You probably have too.
If there's one thing I hate, it's when I take a big international trip and I come back and it takes me 12 days to recover and I wind up senile.
I hate when that happens.
Karine Jean-Pierre cut 12.
You know, the president has certainly spoken to this many, many times about the debate.
And so he had an opportunity to do that in front of supporters.
And as you just stated, he did that.
He talked about, he owned that the debate was not his best night.
And he said himself, it's not an excuse, but it's an explanation.
I was standing here yesterday and many people were asking why and what's the explanation.
And that's what you heard from him.
The two, I think, in addition to the two major trips, he was also doing, continued to do his presidential duties.
He worked late in doing that, and he also prepared for the debate.
And on top of that, there was obviously the jet lag, as you just asked about, and also he had a cold.
Oh my dear lord in heaven.
Listen, we got more of this, but we got calls before we go to Matt Boyle.
Let me go to Minnesota on the phone.
Let just somebody into this because we all got to work on this together.
What the heck is going on?
What is happening?
What do you want to have happen?
We are in the land of however many thousand lakes it is on your license plate.
Karen Mark Davis in for Dr. Gorka.
How are you?
I'm doing great.
Thank you.
You know what?
Here's my frustration.
We have been lied to over and over and over by Kamala Harris.
By President Obama, by Joe Biden.
They've known since our president was elected that he did not have the faculties to do the job.
I think President Trump needs to hit hard that Kamala Harris has hid that our president is incapable.
A superb point because if she is the nominee, one of the first linear series of questions
that she...
You do lunch with him once a week.
You're around him all the time.
You totally knew.
You knew this was the case.
But then it comes back to me, what would we have expected her to do?
Out him publicly?
Hold a news conference a year ago that says, look, I know I'm here to talk about the economy,
But I gotta tell you something, Joe is like napping six hours a day.
So I don't know how realistic that is, but we're going to immediately start to get very aggressive about her because policy-wise, she's no better than he is.
Thank you for taking my call.
Karen, thank you.
Appreciate it very much.
So let me wrap up this segment and get ready to go to Matt Boyle at Breitbart, see if he agrees with me about this, and see if you agree with me about this.
Because we've been kind of enjoying this, if enjoying is the verb.
It's been pretty wild watching the obviousness of stuff we've known and believed forever suddenly made apparent, even to the media culture, even to Democrats, in denial.
So having the truth come out and become apparent is a proper and invigorating thing.
But here's what I want to throw you, because I've been thinking about this, and I'm open to your input on this.
Joe, hang tough, brother.
In that disastrous news conference, Kareem Jean-Pierre said 47 times he is committed to stay in this race, he intends to stay in this race, he will not be shaken from doing what he can for the American people, blah, blah, blah.
I want him there.
I want him in this office.
I want him to hang tough.
I want him to accept the nomination of his party while the riots are going on outside the convention hall in Chicago.
I want Biden there.
Because the minute the Democrats go to Plan B, Let's talk to a bunch of people, including you, about this on today's America First.
Mark Davis in for Dr. Gorka.
And here's the other thing, if Biden does become the nominee, all this truth stops.
All this truth telling stops.
You want him there.
So this is kind of fun, kind of compelling, kind of political thriller.
But you want Biden there November 5.
Please.
Let's talk to a bunch of people, including you, about this on today's America First.
Mark Davis in for Dr. Gorka.
Glad you're here.
Thanks for having me.
Thanks.
you 🎵Outro Music🎵
Welcome back.
America first for this Independence Day Eve.
It is Wednesday, it is July 3rd.
We prepare to celebrate the birth, the creation of this great nation.
248th birthday, that's tomorrow.
Today, before we send you into the holiday weekend, oh my, do we have things to assess.
To help us assess them, Breitbart D.C.
Bureau Chief Matt Boyle is here.
Matt, welcome.
How are you, sir?
Hey, Mark.
Thanks for having me.
My great pleasure.
So you saw some of the Kareem Jean-Pierre news conference.
The excuses, they would say explanations, I would say excuses, seem to be he had a cold, there's jet lag, and I hate when 12 days go by and a jet trip makes me senile, and all kinds of other things.
It was just an hour of beating back this White House press corps, this White House press corps, just badgering her about her boss not being able to do the job.
What is going on here, to your view?
Yeah, well, I think Karine Jean-Pierre is going to come up with a better answer than my bad for why she didn't have the answers yesterday.
But the point is that she's claiming that she did know the answer and blah, blah, blah.
She just didn't say it.
But the idea that jet lag led to this is nonsense.
I haven't been back in America for over a week.
Before the debate, the whole story leading up to the debate was how much time he was spending.
He spent a whole week in hiding in the bunker at Camp David doing supposedly debate preparation, right?
So the big picture here is that the biggest story of today is that Joe Biden joined a Democrat Biden campaign conference call with Kamala Harris, his vice president.
And Biden said he's not going anywhere.
He's going to fight.
He's not going to, he's not dropping out of the race and he is fighting back.
So that we have from him now, he has said that to his team.
He is not backing down.
So that's the first thing.
So that means that if he's going down, he's going down swinging.
So the big question is, is he going to go down?
And then if so, then who replaces him?
And then also, does he remain as president for the rest of the year?
So the other big story of this week that came out yesterday, and that was a leak to Puck News, is Peter Hamby, where they've leaked internal Biden Super PAC polling data.
So this is the Democrats' own numbers.
Before the debate last week, Donald Trump was already set to win in a landslide election.
The numbers shifted after the debate so that it's not even just a landslide anymore.
Now it's a mandate, right?
Like Donald Trump is leading in states according to the Democrats, like New Mexico, like Virginia, like New Hampshire, I mean, these are states that Republicans
haven't won a presidential election in a very long time.
So not to mention the fact that Trump leads across all of the traditional battleground
states, if you will, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, Michigan, Nevada, Arizona, Georgia, North
Carolina, right?
And the Democrats know that Donald Trump is on the glide path to the presidency.
So the big question is, what is the impact of all of this going to be on the Democrats' down ticket?
And that's the calculation that they're going through right now.
They are seriously concerned that they first will not retake the House majority.
They were previously probably on a track to do that given how slim the Republican majority
in the House is, but that's looking less and less likely for them now.
That's slipping away.
And then secondly, Republicans have been on track for a U.S.
Senate majority for a long time.
The question is how big would that majority be?
Before this debate, I would have said, you know, Republicans would be very happy with
52, 53 seats in the U.S.
Senate.
But now I would say that given the map that exists out there, Republicans have a pathway into the high 50s and perhaps even as many as 60 seats are a really good night for the GOP on election night.
If you look at the seats that are up and the ones that Democrats have to defend and the position that they're in.
So the big question is which one of the two between Joe Biden and Kamala Harris,
and this is the discussion that Democrats are having behind closed doors right now,
is which one of the two limits their losses most down 10K, right?
Like, so, because it's a lot easier for them to climb back into the Senate majority
from 52 or 53 Republican seats than it is from 57 or 58 or 60, right?
And so that's the calculation that they're going through right now.
And they're trying to limit the down ticket losses that they're gonna face.
They've essentially come to terms with the fact that they're not gonna win the White House.
So what you've described is a status quo that I would like to cling to, a status quo I would like to have to be the continuing narrative moving forward.
I think you've described a narrative that by your own description is something that even honest Democrats realize, which is why they are trying so desperately to sideline him, either to convince him or Jill to just go ahead and please step into the strike zone and take one for the team Or maybe the wheels, the levers, or gears are grinding to do something to sabotage him at their riot-torn convention in Chicago.
If that happens, if Biden is not the nominee, that gets a little tricky, because we know Kamala's terrible, but whether it's her or anybody else in this, this mediocre bench strength that the Democrats have, that's
fresh blood. It's a fresh narrative.
The media would suddenly stop telling us the truths they're telling now. And at that moment,
I think it becomes harder for us to have the grand night that you've just described.
What do you think? Well, that's the question, right?
So that's the debate that they're having internally.
But it's very hard to see anybody other than Kamala Harris emerging as the Democrat nominee out of this than Joe Biden, if it isn't Joe Biden, right?
Because here's why.
The Biden-Harris campaign, which is a presidential campaign under Federal Election Commission laws.
It's been constituted since 2020.
it's been constituted since 2020, they have more than $240 million in cash on hand right now.
If anyone other than Kamala Harris were to emerge as the nominee out of this,
that money, it becomes much harder to access.
They could technically roll it into a pack and then run ads with it that way, but the premium on running ads out of a pack is much higher, so it's not really like it's $240.
They're literally handing millions and millions, hundreds of millions of dollars away, tens of millions of dollars away, if they go to somebody other than Kamala.
This is money that they already raised.
So they're kind of, you know, in a tough position here.
They have to pick between one of the two.
So with just a minute, minute and a half left to the bottom, there is somebody who wouldn't need to do any fundraising, wouldn't need to do any campaigning.
Can we just, I'd like to dispense, I wonder if you'll join me, with the Michelle Obama foolishness.
She wants nothing to do with this.
It's a real job.
Her husband wants nothing to do with this.
They're leading the perfect life.
I have zero expectation of this.
Do you share my view or not?
Yes.
I don't think Michelle Obama is interested in running for president.
You're right that she would be a formidable candidate if she did, but the point is that she would actually have to work.
And Barack Obama knows about Trump's popularity.
He knows how popular Trump is.
He knows that he's a formidable force.
That's the point.
He keeps warning Biden about this.
He doesn't want his wife to go into the meat grinder here.
So I don't see it happening.
I don't see them getting her.
It's literally going to be Joe or it's going to be Kamala.
And the question is, is which one does less damage to the party as a whole?
60 seconds for Campaign Finance 101.
Why is this different than what I've heard in a lot of places where if I'm running and then I'm not running or I lose, suddenly I can't give the money back.
I can't use it for a boat, but I can share it with any candidacy I like.
Why isn't that the case with the Biden-Harris money?
No, they can.
They'll be able to donate money across to different other campaign committees, but they're subject to the same federal limits, right, like that anybody else would be.
So it's not like they can just write a $240 million check to a Gavin Newsom for president campaign or a Gretchen Bloomberg for president campaign.
They have to, there's a lot of loops and hurdles and so on that they have to jump through and that they won't It would be too difficult.
They won't be able to do it.
Very, very good.
Okay, Matt Boyle here, DC Bureau Chief of Breitbart.
I got a couple more questions, a little bit more about what lies ahead, how we got here, and what lies ahead in the days, the weeks, and the months to come.
It's America First with Dr. Sebastian Gorka.
Seb back next week, Mark Davis-Phil again, and enormously happy to be doing so.
So stick around, a lot more to come.
Thanks for watching!
you you
Bye.
It is the Independence Day Eve edition of America First with Dr. Sebastian Gorka.
Seb, cruising the Alaska coastline looking at whales while I'm looking at headlines and looking at your calls.
In fact, speaking of calls, 833-33-GORKA.
Hop on as soon as we finish up with Matt Boyle at Breitbart.
We've got a couple more things to cover with him.
I want to come right to you.
What is going on?
What do you think is happening?
What do you think is going to happen?
And what do you want to have happen?
Yeah, those are such broad questions, but I think you know exactly what I mean.
833-33-GORKA.
Be with you on our next segment.
Matt, let me ask you, strategically, we sort of mentioned this in a back and forth off the air before we started talking.
Biden is in free fall, in full cognitive decline.
The drumbeat gets ever louder for his exit.
As conservatives, should we be rooting for him to survive?
Because we'd rather have him on the ballot November 5th than anybody else.
I think so.
I think that Joe Biden is the weakest candidate that the Democrats could have up there for them.
I think Kamala is a uniquely weak candidate too.
And again, as we laid out before, it's probably going to be one of the two of them, right?
Like I can't see it being somebody else for the obvious reasons.
The point is that I think Kamala becomes more of a traditional partisan election, right?
Like she's not, you know, she's crazy.
She's out there on a lot of stuff.
She's a terrible communicator, but at least she's not like, you know, going through the late stages of dementia here, right?
Like, and so I think that Biden being at the top of the ticket presents a unique opportunity for Republicans, not just for President Trump.
To win a mandate-level election like we're talking about there.
Again, the Democrats' own numbers right now have Donald Trump from Biden's own super PAC have Donald Trump, if the election was today, winning more than 330 electoral votes.
That's way more than he won in 2016.
But at the same time, up and down the Senate races as well.
I mean, again, Republicans could build a historic, lasting A generational majority in both the House and the Senate, as well as in the presidential race.
And this also raises the stakes, I think, for President Trump's decision on a running mate, right?
Like, he's supposed to announce that sometime in the next week or so.
The Republican convention is the week after next.
We'll be looking forward to seeing who he rolls out probably next week sometime.
I don't have any inside information as to who it may be or a date or anything like that, but there's been a lot of talk about different names, and I think Personally, I think J.D. Vance is probably the right
decision for the movement and so on and so forth.
So we'll see if that's the way Trump decides to go.
There are other names being talked about who are all fine and well people, right?
Like I know them all.
Doug Burgum I know pretty well.
I know J.D. I know Senator Tim Scott and Senator Marco Rubio pretty well.
And you know, people have talked about Governor Youngkin lately.
I don't, again, know him pretty well too.
But, you know, I mean, if you want to really double down and historically remake the Republican
Party in Donald Trump's image, who better to do it than somebody from the right?
And somebody who's not a septuagenarian.
I want a fighter.
I love the J.D.
Vance idea.
I love the Byron Donalds idea.
I love Tim Scott, but not a fighter.
Listen, you wrote an interesting piece for Breitbart just a few days ago about some kind of sinister skullduggery that Rupert Murdoch and Fox is into, dallying around with Trump's VP choice.
What did you detect?
Yeah, well, look, they tried desperately to stop Donald Trump from being the Republican nominee again.
Remember, they went all in for DeSantis and Haley and everybody else, right?
Like, they were desperate to try to stop Donald Trump, and then they failed, right?
Like, then they tried to push Haley on Trump as the VP candidate.
They failed, right?
Like, and now they're starting to realize Rupert Murdoch and his globalist pals The train has left the station here.
The future of the Republican Party is getting remade without them, and so they're trying to, at the very end here of the Veep states, move the Overton window in a direction they find acceptable, where they're trying to push it to Burgum.
Again, I like Burgum for different reasons than The Wall Street Journal and those places do, but the fact is that, you know, with Murdoch, who continues to employ Paul Ryan, by the way, right, like pushing him, I think that's a major point against him, right?
And so, we'll have to see what President Trump decides, and I think he'll make the... knowing President Trump really well, and I've talked to him many, many times.
I've talked to him about this decision.
I've talked to him about other decisions.
I'm sure he will make the right decision for the right reasons.
We'll see what that is.
But those stakes are raised right now because there's such a historic opportunity on the
horizon here for conservatives, especially MAGA, America First conservatives, to really
remake the future of the Republican Party and build a lasting legacy that lasts far
beyond the next four years, right?
Again, if you're talking 58 Republican senators or more in the U.S. Senate and the House majority,
you're talking, I mean, this is a decade long dominance or longer.
It's a generational opportunity here that we've never had before.
And it's all because the Democrats made the match that we're in, that they're in right
now.
They're probably going to get out.
The stakes are that high.
Matt Boyle at Breitbart.
We love reading you.
Love having you.
Thank you so much, sir.
Appreciate it.
All right.
From Matt, I pivot to you.
833-33-GORKA.
833-33-GORKA.
Is it definitely Joe or Kamala?
Any other names worth thinking about?
Do you actively want Joe to hang in there, man?
Hang in there, because that's who we want on the ballot November 5.
833-33-GORKA.
Your call's coming up.
Mark Davison for Seb.
stick around.
Thanks for watching.
Bye.
you you
you .
It is Wednesday.
It is the 3rd of July.
Independence Day is tomorrow.
Who knows what tomorrow will bring?
Well, hot dogs and fireworks and a celebration of America's birth.
There's that.
But how about after that?
July 5, 6, 7, 8.
When we get into next week, what in the world is going to be happening?
Well, one thing is true.
Dr. Gorka will be back with fresh stories of the Patriots' Alaska cruise.
I want to thank him and his magnificent team and Eric and Alex, everybody.
Making me feel so great and at home and hanging out with you at 833-33-GORKA, as we've had a wonderful time yesterday and Monday.
And boy, do we have some interesting times ahead.
So here are the specific things I wonder from you as we get ready to.
I just want to show you this train wreck in the briefing room with cringe Jean-Pierre.
833-33-GORKA.
Do you share the growing conservative sentiment that even with Biden under fire, Biden under fire, even from the loyalist press, is kind of fun to watch but i i don't think we want that to prevail we we want him there because if somebody if they do if we convince him or jill uh for him to step aside then we get plan b fresh blood the the you know a total reset of the narrative i'm enjoying the narrative right now i don't want to complicate things
But all of a sudden, oh, Kamala.
And I know Kamala is terrible.
Democrats know Kamala is terrible.
But she would suddenly become the greatest thing since sliced bread, especially to the people who crave history.
We've got to have history.
We've got to have our first woman president.
We've got to have our first black president.
By the way, I love the history thing.
I love when, you know, the barriers fall down and the ceiling is shattered or whatever.
The idea of a first black president, first woman president, first Jewish president, first whatever.
We'll get all those.
But it needs to be the right person.
Obama was indeed our first black president.
How'd that work out for everybody?
Not great for me.
Are there women who I'd like to have be president?
Sure.
Sarah Huckabee Sanders, Elise Stefanik.
Let's work on that at some point in the future.
Do you share my view?
Because I'll flat out tell you, I want Joe to hang in there with whatever shred of lucidity you have left.
Get in these conference calls with all these governors, all these congressional leaders.
I know they're going terribly.
How can they not be going terribly?
But maybe they're just overwhelmed by the complexity of getting rid of Joe.
That means I want him, in whatever fever dream he's in at the moment, to hang in there.
Don't let them wear you down, Joe.
Don't let them wear you down.
They tried to wear Corrine Jean-Pierre down.
This is about 10 seconds of what her full hour was like.
Here's cut 13.
Enjoy.
Is President Biden considering stepping down?
Absolutely not.
And you heard, I believe, directly from the campaign as well.
So that was asked at least a dozen times in various ways.
And when you can't really answer the question really well, why was he so terrible?
Why is it?
Why doesn't he walk in here and talk to us the way Trump did like every other day?
Why?
Why isn't he engaging more with the American people?
How are these meetings going with these Democrat leaders and various governors when there are no Good, solid, positive, useful answers to that.
Corrine relies on the sort of some index cards and talking points cut 14.
And he has the most historic record administration, the most in modern politics.
And that should matter.
And he wants to continue to do that work.
And, you know, A lot of what's on his agenda is very much popular with the majority of the American people.
It should matter, she says.
It should matter.
But it doesn't, just objectively.
It doesn't.
Whatever party a president is from, whatever circumstance, this is not partisan at all.
When you're in this kind of steep decline, Right now and your thoughts for the future are what matter more than what you were doing one or two or three years ago.
From a liberal perspective, yes, Biden has a track record that the left can say, hey, he did these things that I like.
But his ability to do absolutely anything moving forward is in great doubt, is in absolute great doubt.
Let's hop to the phones and then more Kareem excerpts.
We're in L.A., Brent, Mark Davis in for Dr. Gorka.
How are you?
A meaningful Independence Day, Mark.
Indeed it is.
You're the great Gorka's intrepid deputy gunfighter.
Thank you.
And tomorrow, more important than fireworks and barbecue, may every American fly our nation's true red, white, and blue pride flag.
Amen.
The real pride flag with only three colors, thank you.
Red, white, blue.
Uh-huh.
And more importantly, may every American read America's righteous and sublime Declaration of Independence.
Correct.
And that every one of our rights, freedoms, and liberties depend upon it.
Because this holy document is more valid and relevant today than when King George afflicted us with his minimal tyranny.
So much less horrible and hateful than today's deadly Democrat democracy.
George III seems positively benign.
Well, I've often said in the era of Biden that Obama looks a little less poisonous and Clinton looks positively Churchill-esque.
So anyway, what you got today?
That's it.
If it ain't broke, don't fix it.
Thank you, sir.
Appreciate it very, very much.
All right.
On the lineup of things that we had from Kareem, the thing that I wanted to stress a little bit is that as the talk continues about Kamala, we got time for this?
I think we do.
It's 11, it's the Kamala montage, if by hook or by crook, and I mean literally by hook or by crook, physically removing him from the convention stage, almost, is this what we're going to be left with?
Cut 11.
I can imagine what can be and be unburdened by what has been, you know?
What can be unburdened by what has been?
What can be?
Unburdened by what has been.
What can be unburdened by what has been.
What can be unburdened by what has been.
What we can see, what we believe can be unburdened by what has been.
What can be unburdened by what has been.
Unburdened by what has been.
Who we can be, unburdened by who we have been.
What can be, unburdened by what has been.
Where we can be, unburdened by where we have been, and unburdened by where we are right now.
Did I say 20 or 30 minutes ago that she might be harder to beat than we think?
Do I want to stay with that?
I do.
Weird though it may be.
And it's almost a counterpoint because that was, of course, ridiculous.
She is, of course, ridiculous.
But if they pull Biden and she's in there, the media will get behind her.
Our dumb country will want to make history and it'll be a challenge.
It'll be an uphill climb.
All righty, let's climb into the next segment and on to the more calls with you.
833-33-GORKA-GRAB-A-LINE.
I'm Mark Davison for Seb, be right back.
Thanks for watching.
Bye.
The End.
Welcome back to America First with Mark Davis.
Thank you, Dr. G. One segment to go this hour, and then we'll plunge into future adventures.
Two things.
We'll hop on the phones here in just a moment at 833-33-GORKA, but just this 15-second moment of how bad did it get for Corine Jean-Pierre, the long knives out from this press corps, both in terms of aggressive questioning and timely jokes.
Enjoy.
And we would invite the president to come here and tell us that directly.
Noted.
Noted.
Noted, Kelly.
If he's awake.
That's inappropriate.
As you heard from your colleague, the president of the WHA, that's inappropriate.
Thank you, Kelly.
So that was Kelly O'Donnell talking about, we'd like to invite the president to come here to talk to us himself.
And KJP said, noted, noted.
And James Rosen of Newsmax, it's a very Newsmax-y thing to do, said, if he's awake.
So, I don't know, in terms of overall White House press room decorum, is that inappropriate?
It probably is.
But was it kind of awesome?
Yes, it probably was.
Alrighty, let's hop on to the World of Calls.
Let's go to Dayton, Ohio.
Dick, hey, Mark Davison for Seb, how are you?
Oh, how are you doing, Mark?
Good, thank you.
Oh, good.
I just wanted to tell you, being here in Ohio, I've, you know, well, you know, I'm a You know, I talk a lot on some of the other talk stations and get started.
But I just wanted to think that I've always believed, I take some courses at our Sinclair College, the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution, and freedom of speech is the framework for America.
And I just don't really think this administration understands that.
And in November, we need to get the people Yeah, the fundamentals.
Go ahead, I'm sorry.
Go ahead, I'm sorry.
The fundamentals.
Go ahead, I'm sorry. Go ahead, I'm sorry. The fundamentals.
Go ahead, wrap up.
Yeah, wrap up. And I just think the Biden, I mean, the debate was, I just thought it was, I don't know.
I couldn't understand it, but I think it could have been.
And he didn't either, as Trump said.
Dick, thank you.
Appreciate it very much.
And you know what?
What a nice way to tie a bow around our first hour here as we approach the 4th of July.
Some of why it's important for Trump to win is very much about partisan policies and the conservative things that I want and stronger borders and lower taxes and a president who knows how many genders there are.
Things like that.
But there are some other urgent reasons why Donald Trump and a wave of grownups needs to take the reins of government.
It's so that we can actually have constitutional governance again.
Have you noticed in these last few days, really in these last few years, the kind of conniption fits and heart attacks and nervous breakdowns that the left has had as this Supreme Court has actually ruled constitutionally?
In getting rid of Roe v. Wade, in saying affirmative action is indeed racial discrimination, and now in laying out a perfectly textbook definition of what the separation of powers is and what it does, these are constitutional, down the line, rulings.
And the left has its hair on fire.
That's how far we have fallen.
It is time for us to climb once again and reclaim constitutional governance.
Alright, 833-33-GORKA, grab some lines, we'll spend some time together in the next hour.
Mark Davidson for Dr. Gorka, it's America first.
And I'm Dr. Gorka.
For more information visit www.FEMA.gov For more information visit www.FEMA.gov
For more information visit www.FEMA.gov I
you I'm Sebastian Gorka and this is America First with our very special guest host, the voice of Dallas, Mark Davis.
Thank you, Seb.
Appreciate it, my friend.
And we are gathered together on this Independence Day Eve, just taking stock of the amazing things that are before us.
The great Ned Ryan is going to be with us in the next hour.
Just more folks to sling hot topics back and forth with.
But this hour, I have some things to offer and some audio and video to share.
But what I really want to do is share some thoughts with you on these open phone lines at 833-33-GORKA, 833-334-6752.
And I'm about to hop to those lines in just a second.
And these are the questions I have.
I know you've been paying attention.
You've been paying attention.
If we go sort of chronologically from Thursday night, the debacle that You know we all could see that coming, right?
Were any of you particularly surprised that Biden was that bad?
No.
Were any of you, I won't call it surprised, I'll say heartened and gratified that Mr. Trump was as disciplined and focused and didn't overplay his hand, didn't beat up grandpa on national television, as I've said.
He just played it perfectly.
And in fact—and he continues to, and he continues to.
You would think ordinarily with the White House in meltdown, the campaign in meltdown,
that you might have a Trump flurry of truth social posts and even moments before a camera
or something or rally moments where he just sort of piles on and he's just sort of been
laying back, just sort of letting the game come to him.
And there is genius in that.
I mean, when your opponent is digging a hole, get out of the way, just let them keep digging.
So what we have as we progress through this week and into the July 4th weekend and then
to follow is a whole lot of questions that are soon to be answered.
Will Joe Biden be able to withstand the drumbeat of people calling for his exit?
None of us can read minds.
But what do you think is going on in the minds of a White House press corps that dogged Karine Jean-Pierre for the better part of an hour asking her just time and time again, essentially, why doesn't he leave?
He clearly can't do this.
Why doesn't he leave?
That's this press corps, which 10 minutes ago was circling the wagons every day to protect him.
They helped him get elected.
Why have they turned on him now?
You know.
You know why.
It's because what they want more than to protect Biden is to beat Trump.
And if Biden has damaged goods and can no longer reliably be counted on to beat Trump, then it is time for plan B. And the way you move to plan B is by ditching plan A, by seeing if you can get Joe Biden or Jill to come to their collective or individual senses and step out of this race.
There's even talk, I mean, if you have If you have someone whose candidacy is jeopardized by the fact that they're just not all mentally there, isn't that someone whose presidency should be similarly jeopardized?
If we've got a guy who's blinking out right in front of our eyes, and that's why he shouldn't be on the ballot in November, that's also why he shouldn't even be in the White House.
So I'm getting a lot of feedback.
Oh, by the way, follow me on Twitter at Mark Davis, M-A-R-K Davis.
Shoot me stuff.
I'll read that during the breaks if you're of a mind to do that.
We've had a lot of 25th Amendment questions.
How would that go?
I will tell you how that would go.
It remains extremely unlikely, but after I take a call or two, I'll give you a scenario that I unraveled on my morning show today here in DFW, where I'm the happy morning host at 6.60 a.m., the answer of what the Democrats' best mathematical chance might be if they have the guts to pull it off.
So, all this and more coming up.
833-33-GORKA.
We begin on the phones in Kansas.
Julie, Mark Davison for Seb.
Happy Wednesday.
And how are you?
I'm doing fine and dandy.
How about yourself, Mark?
Great, thank you.
Nice to have you.
My question is actually, well, Biden showed up perfectly Biden-esque.
Somebody should have had a statue made out of bronze of a Feline rear end for the catastrophe he brought.
But how do we ensure that we don't assume it's one and make sure that we're all out at the polls?
Because that's where I don't want to see us foul up.
Do you have concerns? This has been an amazing week for Trump in court, in the
polls, on the debate stage. People have called this the best week for
Trump since he won in 2016. Are you concerned about overconfidence?
Yes. That is my thing.
I've got a lot of people going, there's no way.
I mean, after how he showed up, and even if not, it doesn't matter to me.
Who in the tarnation they put up, we need to show up.
You are completely correct.
So let me ask you about that.
Let's unpack it a little bit.
Let me ask everybody else.
833-33-GORKA.
Are you concerned about overconfidence?
I am, but conditionally.
I'm not like actively worried about it.
It's like, oh, I fear it.
Like, I'd like to see Trump down in a couple of polls so we can, you know, put some fear behind us and light a fire.
No, I don't think so.
Because if there's anything that I've seen from the Trump base, from MAGA Nation, It is that there is no diverting these folks from the task at hand.
And if maybe there's a voter or two who come November 5th says, eh, I think we got this, they will probably be supplanted by 10 who just want to make absolutely sure we've got this.
And in fact, I don't mind using the logic I'm in Texas.
Trump's going to win Texas.
But I want him to win by 12 rather than 6.
And if you're in a state that Trump is winning by 3, you better help him win it by 6 because there might be 3 percentage points worth of fraud.
So if we have all of this urgency flowing through our veins, Julie, I think we'll be okay and we do not have to worry about complacency.
But I'll tell you what, doing what I do for a living, what Seb does for a living, everybody here in the Salem landscape, Salem News Channel, Salem Radio Network, we're going to make doggone sure I do agree.
You've got to make sure.
That's what I'm saying.
We've got to show up.
We can't roll over and say, yeah, it's done.
That is it.
Completely correct.
I'll be on it every day.
I promise.
Thank you, Julie.
Let us move to Arizona.
Glenn Mark Davison for Dr. G. How are you, sir?
I'm doing well, so I'm going to piggyback off that last caller, and I've been singing this same song for a year and a half.
The MAGA world is infatuated with gross, but they're forgetting net.
Let me explain myself.
They're always talking about the Hispanic and the black vote.
We're getting it.
We're getting it.
We're getting 25%, 30%, which is great.
That's the gross.
So let's say you grossed a million.
You've got a million new voters.
The Democrats are banking on the illegal vote.
So let's just say we got a million, but the Democrats got 4.5 million.
We grossed a million.
They netted 3.5.
All the MAGA people that are sitting up here and they're doing, oh, it's going to be a, you know, a steamroll.
And I come from the world of athletics.
And in an athletic, sir, cheaters win.
I hate to say this, but...
They can.
Well, cheaters don't always win.
If you are... an inferior team can cheat and you'd have a closer finish than you otherwise
would.
But, as my buddy Hugh Hewitt says, if it ain't close, they can't cheat.
Of course they can, but if our passion outweighs their cheating, then I think we'll still be
good.
As far as...
The phenomenon you point out is a real one and a plausible one.
I don't know if we're going to have a million fresh illegal votes in 2024.
I don't know.
I don't know exactly how many fresh black and Hispanic votes we'll get.
I think it's going to be a lot.
I think it could be more than a million.
But yes, you're right that our gains will be at least counterbalanced by whatever kind of fraudulent votes the Democrats are able to gin up.
So, okay, if that's the way the landscape is, then let's just work doubly, triply hard to reach out to people of all races and show them exactly why conservatism is a good idea, exactly why Trump is a good idea for them.
Glenn, thank you, appreciate it very much.
On that path, I'm familiar or I'm fond of telling a familiar story of NBC wandering into a barbershop in Queens.
and five or six black guys sitting around and they ask him, hey, who are you voting
for?
And it's not like they all had MAGA hats on yet.
But what they did say, they were all, what was noteworthy about them is they were all
25, 30 years old.
And their quote, their quote that lives on in my brain, this is months ago, they said,
all we remember, we really just remember two presidencies.
We just have, we obviously were experiencing Biden and we remember Trump.
And the difference that we note is that during Trump, we had money.
During Trump, we had money, meaning that during Trump, things were going better for them.
And these are black guys in New York.
So irrespective of where you live and irrespective of what race you are, irrespective of what sex you are, irrespective of how old you are, all these constituencies that are supposed to be so Trump skeptical, people of color, women, younger folks, Funny thing about women, I think they believe that we need a country with borders, especially as they see children slaughtered by illegals who shouldn't be here in the first place.
Funny thing about Hispanic voters, people who are of Mexican, Honduran, Nicaraguan extraction who got here legally, they should be the first people objecting to folks who look like them, sound like them, have names like them, cheating to get into this country.
Funny thing.
We're all coming around.
We feel like borders are a good idea.
Mark Davidson for Dr. Gorka, be right back.
You You
Independence Day Eve edition of America First with Dr. Sebastian Gorka, who's enjoying his Patriots Alaska cruise, and I'm enjoying being here for him, being here for you.
833-33-GORKA.
Mark Davis from Red Hot, Texas.
It's like 50 out there where Seb and Mike Gallagher and those listeners are watching whales off the coast of Alaska.
Good for them.
I've joked that I don't know who's having a better time, them or me.
Because it's a great pleasure to be here with you.
Let's hop back onto the phone lines, 833-33-GORKA.
As this remarkable history plays out in front of us, think about what we will know a couple of months from now.
A couple of months from now, we'll know who the Trump VP is.
A couple of months from now, we may know whether Biden has withdrawn.
There are just so many things yet to be determined.
This is what makes political speculation, politics, such a talking sport
because there's so many things that are that are... you know in a world where so
much is phony and so much is scripted and so much is planned even reality television
is far from it Political events and what people do out there in the wild, in real time, in the political spectrum, sometimes you just never know, and that's what makes it so compelling.
Glad to be talking about all the developments with you.
We are next in Arizona, and Jack, hi, Mark Davis, and for Dr. G, how are you, sir?
How you doing?
The reason I'm calling, I'm a big trumper, alright?
I'm originally from Chicago, Illinois.
I've been here 17 years.
I would love to see, well, sooner the better.
I'd like to see him.
He hasn't got long.
Convention is week after next.
Whom would you like to see him pick?
My guess, I have two guesses.
JD Banks for a male, or Kelsey Gilbert for a woman.
I mean, that's my guess.
I could be wrong.
But whoever he picks, they'll be great.
The reason I'm saying that, it will up the ante for Trump big time.
No doubt.
Our vice president versus Kamala's vice president.
I know, that debate is going to be a treat no matter what.
So you mentioned those were guesses, the people you're sort of predicting trying to get inside Trump's head.
Who would you like it, if I could just hand you the wand and you could wave it and make it somebody who you particularly wanted, who would it be?
I'm going for J.D.
Banks.
You know why?
Because he's the youngest one in there.
Absolutely.
And listen, Jack, thank you.
I appreciate it very much.
I too have expressed, and please let's just stipulate, whoever he takes, that person will instantly become my favorite person.
I mean, if he winds up... Listen, I don't think he's going to do...
Nikki Haley.
I don't think he's gonna do... I don't think he'll do Tulsi Gabbard.
That would be kind of a Trumpian curveball kind of thing in a way.
And I love her.
She's awesome.
She's a liberal in recovery and that's a good thing to be.
I love her on Fox.
She's on Fox as much as Hannity these days.
But just no, no, no, no.
We need an absolute fluent conservative who, please let me remind you, one heartbeat away from the presidency.
And Trump is 78.
I know he'll probably outlive all of us and be 112.
But it's also somebody who will be the presumptive favorite going into the 28 Republican primaries.
So just no.
So that's why the whole J.D.
Vance idea—listen, if it is Tom Cotton, if it is Marco Rubio, if it is Doug Burgum, that'll be fine.
If it is Tim Scott, fine.
But I want I want to say more than, oh, that's fine.
And by the way, if Trump makes that pick, I will say much more.
I will crawl on glass to help that running mate help Trump.
But sitting here ahead of time, silly, silly me, I want somebody who excites me as a conservative, who generationally excites me.
J.D.
Vance does it.
Byron Donalds does it.
Sarah Huckabee Sanders would do it from the governor's mansion in Arkansas.
Your thoughts?
Your thoughts, please?
833-33-GORKA.
We're in Chicago.
Speaking of guys who are formerly from Chicago, let's talk to a guy who's still there.
Tom Mark Davison for Seb.
How are you?
Welcome to America First.
I love Mike and Mike when you're with Mike Gallagher.
Hey, thank you.
You're very kind.
So, Mark, I wanted to say Uh, they're too big to rig.
Trump supporters are going to go for this, but this is going to need to be remedied.
And as far as you were mentioning the running mates, I'm really still praying.
I prayed from the start it would be Ron DeSantis.
I'm still holding out hope.
The election thing's going to have to be remedied.
If we win the election by one vote, We should win.
We shouldn't have to... We can't go election cycle after election cycle saying we have to kick their tails because we know they're going to cheat.
I know.
It's exhausting.
It's exhausting to say that we've got to... Like playing on the road with crooked refs in college basketball.
We've got to play hard enough to win by 12 in order to win by one.
We shouldn't have to do that.
So let me ask you a very pointed question about moving forward because this is a an idea that rears its head every
once in a while All right with us now is congressman Lloyd Doggett of Texas
the first Elected democrat in Congress to call for President Biden to
step aside in this election Congressman, thanks for holding.
We just got to go back to paper ballots.
I don't need to go back to stone knives and bear skins in every technological way.
But is it time maybe that every precinct just in America is to be doing paper ballots because electronic voting is hackable?
What do you think?
I'm a fan of progress.
Perhaps he has a part in company with us.
Let me riff on that a little bit if you want me to then because I'm a fan of progress.
I love when we make various scientific leaps and bounds and we proceed with progress in
a future that is bright.
I mean I know illicit AI scares me to death in a lot of ways.
The Internet itself is an amazing and wondrous thing, filled with pitfalls and dark sides and negatives.
AI is a wonderful and potentially promising thing, filled with excitement and speculative value.
It can also be terrifying.
When we decided, some years ago, That paper ballots were too old school.
And like, hey, let's just do all this electronically.
It's funny.
It was a slow march.
I've been voting since 1976.
I really tried to prevent the Carter presidency.
I didn't have enough company.
And I was I'm a native Texan, but I was growing up in the suburbs of Washington.
So in the state of Maryland, they're in Prince George's County,
walked into my polling place and proudly pulled the levers for for for Gerald Ford
and various other Republicans, whatever Republicans we could find in the People's
Republic of Maryland. That was the old school voting booth where you go in
and pull the curtain around behind you.
And there was this array of levers in your you just had to go up one line and down the other.
And then you would whisk the curtain aside and step out triumphantly
because I have just voted.
Then, not long after that, we wound up in the land where we live right now.
Touch screens and these wonderful little whiz-bang things.
Boop!
You voted.
Boop!
You voted.
Boop!
There you go.
Boop!
Straight ticket if your state features that.
Boop!
And that's lovely and it's convenient.
And I know people who are just done with it.
It's too hackable.
It's not trustworthy enough.
So is it possible that electronic voting, kind of like electronic cars, are something maybe whose time has passed?
Half kidding on the cars, but only half.
Mark Davidson for Seb.
Be right back on America First.
Thank you for watching.
See you next time.
Bye.
you you
Thank you.
you you
eagerly anticipating the 4th of July.
On America First, America's birthday is tomorrow.
And Dr. Gorka is back next week with plenty of stories about that Patriot's Alaska cruise, I'm guessing.
Mark Davis with you from 660 AM, the answer here in bustling Dallas-Fort Worth.
Wherever you are, glad to welcome you at 833-33-GORKA.
833-334-6752.
Just slinging hot topics on a beautiful Wednesday.
What do you think's happening?
Will Biden last?
Do you want him to?
I kind of do.
Because as flawed a candidate as Kamala is, there would be fresh, Fresh meat.
That sounds terrible.
The media would view it as a reset button.
Let's use that.
And all of a sudden it'd be, oh, everything's fine now.
We got rid of Biden.
And the left would be all excited and enthused.
It's probably worth more than a few votes.
Biden leaves people dispirited and confused, and I want them that way.
So, Mr. President, hang in there, sir.
We're rooting for you.
And I mean, that'll be partially tongue-in-cheek.
833-33-GORKA, Trump's VP pick days away.
Who do you want that to be?
Oh, and once you get through the next sort of spate of calls here, we'll give you sort of the 25th Amendment 101, because there was a, how would that go?
How would that go?
I'll tell you here in a minute, because it's not that complicated, but it's complicated enough that it's extremely unlikely.
Yeah, let me, in fact, let me do 60 seconds, because I did say that if Democrats are playing A long game here.
Their best mathematical chance, their strongest thing against Trump, if it's not Biden, it might actually be Kamala and they can boost Kamala's prospects by making her president as soon as possible.
That means 25th Amendment.
She's president by like September and gets to be an actual incumbent for all of September and all of October, giving her even more momentum, making her even harder to beat.
But shh, don't tell them I said so.
It's 833-33-GORKA.
Next up, we are on line two in the Sunshine State of Florida.
Rick, Mark Davis in for Seb.
How are you, sir?
I am doing fine, and I'm excited about my pick, but I haven't heard anybody mention this person.
You have to let it marinate a little bit, but if you want to excite the base, and not only that, but guarantee a thousand percent following Trump's policies, and not only that, but he could be kind of a conciliary to this person, that would be Donald Trump Jr.
No!
Okay, Trump Trump Trump 2024.
I love Don Jr.
Love Eric love the whole family.
The father son thing is I don't want to say it's off putting but it might be a little
weird.
Why don't we let Don Jr.
keep his powder dry to maybe sort of do a John Adams, John Quincy Adams, George H.W., George W., the father-son president at different times.
Don Jr.' 's time may come.
I understand your concern if you want to make absolutely sure that somebody's going to carry out Trump's wishes.
You don't think J.D.
Vance is reliable?
You don't think Byron Donalds is reliable?
I think they'd be fine.
I love them both.
Good.
I'm a Ramaswami guy.
Rick, thank you very much. We're in Pittsburgh online. One Steel City. Mike, Mark Davison for
Seb. How are you? Good. This is the part where you start talking. Oh, I'm a Ramaswami guy.
Why? I think he articulates all the points better than everybody else.
His communications gift is one for the ages.
Mike, thanks.
Here's my Vivek speech.
A. I love him.
B. He's incredible.
C. He's right about virtually everything that he talked about.
His ten truths are just magnificent.
So what's not happening there?
The reason that I like prefer if you're going to have somebody who's a generational late 30s kind of pick, and I think J.D.
Vance turns 40 here in a little bit, so please get me to there so I can at least say that he's 40.
Actual Senate experience, some actual seasoning in the halls of government.
Vivek is so smart and so sharp.
Uh, there's something in a Vance or a Donald's or a Sarah Huckabee Sanders, if we're taking sort of the young-ish folks, where they have sort of put in their time in the salt mines.
They've sort of, they've got the sort of the grit of government under their fingernails that Vivek doesn't have yet.
And maybe we need to have him go do something.
Maybe we need to put him in the cabinet as secretary of something.
I don't know what that would be.
But does he have a future?
Absolutely.
And I love me some Vivek.
I've got a few people who I would put ahead of him on the VP Derby.
And it's probably time to circle back, as Jen Psaki would have us do, and tell you why there's nothing the matter with, you know, what's Marco Rubio?
Like early 50s?
He's a baby.
Of course, I'm 66.
I'm about Doug Burgum's age.
He's about a year older than me.
I mean, silly me, I want a vice president born since JFK.
Am I asking too much?
And there's nothing wrong with Burgum, but I am looking for a kind of a generational set of optics there.
But that's just me.
How about you?
833-33 Gorka Mark Davison for Seb.
We will continue.
Thank you.
You You
Headed into America's birthday weekend mark gave us on America first with dr. Sebastian Gorka
Seb is back next week.
Mark Davis with you here in DFW where I'm the happy morning host at 660 AM The Answer in Dallas-Fort Worth.
And each morning, I've had the wonderful show prep for doing America First, is doing my own radio show here in North Texas each day.
And it's fascinating how Things kind of take shape.
How, you know, when I'm on from 7 to 10 Central Time in the morning, we get a little smattering of what the speculation is on how long Biden will last, or if he will last, who the VP pick might be, and then I get to come here before the national audience and see what y'all think.
It's a joy.
So let's continue that blessed exercise.
833-33-GORKA.
We are next in Cleveland on Line 1.
Chuck, hey, welcome.
Mark Davison for Seb.
How are you doing?
I'm doing fine, thank you.
How are you?
I'm great, thanks.
Great.
Yeah, I wanted to weigh in on a VP pick.
I mean, I do like J.D.
Vance, especially being from Ohio.
But my other choice is out there.
It would be Tulsi Gabbard because she's in the military and she was a governor.
I'm sorry.
Well, no, she was a Jordan governor. She was a member of Congress.
I'm sorry, yeah, member of Congress.
And that's lovely.
And, you know, the Democrat Party tried to just absolutely destroy her.
I know.
And we have empathy for her for that.
But Chuck, she is decidedly not conservative on at least a few things.
I'm as taken as anybody is by her journey out of the loony bin.
She's a liberal in recovery, and that's awesome.
And I think she's a neat lady.
I always enjoy when she's on the TV box.
Military service, etc., etc.
Ex-Democrats will always have a special place in my heart.
But let's not go nuts with our sort of swoon over Tulsi Gabbard.
We need somebody at Trump's side who is a dyed-in-the-wool, passionate, MAGA, conservative, heartbeat away from the presidency, ideally born since the JFK era.
So if you've got JD Vance in your heart, go with that, because the whole Tulsi thing is kind of a stunt.
A good stunt, but a stunt.
I mean, she spoke at the GOP convention.
I know.
You know, Reagan used to be... So did John McCain.
Reagan used to be a huge Democrat.
And look where he ended up.
Well, but not everybody's going to be Reagan.
I mean, listen, I'm not throwing any shade at Tulsi.
She's awesome.
But no.
The bar's got to be set a little bit higher there.
We're in Ohio.
Line 2, Alan.
Hey, Mark Davis in for Dr. Gorka.
How you doing?
Happy Wednesday.
Doing great.
Thanks for taking my call, Mr. Davis.
My pleasure.
Happy Independence Day.
Same to you.
My pick, first of all, there's a lot of qualified people out there.
I think that would make a great VP.
They would support President Trump, and that's great.
But I take it one step further, and I think you said it also, a heartbeat away from the presidency.
Who do I feel comfortable with, not only supporting President Trump, but stepping in those shoes?
There's a lot of people who Lose their life in their 70s.
So we have to look at that.
Who would be ready to take that gavel?
And for me, for me, it's Ron DeSantis.
I really feel he's young.
A lot younger than President Trump.
And he's conservative.
And I really think he's done a great job in Florida.
And I would feel comfortable with him being my president.
And listen, thank you for that.
The comfort zone that we're looking for is would Trump be comfortable?
I think he would.
Trump's comfortable with everybody.
Trump got comfortable with Ted Cruz.
Trump got comfortable with my former governor, Rick Perry.
Rick Perry called Donald Trump a cancer on conservatism.
And then he wound up in the cabinet.
As Secretary of Energy, Trump's clearly comfortable with Rubio.
Seems like yesterday he was mocking him as Little Marco.
Trump is so transactional, and this is a wonderful thing to be.
He does not bog down on old grudges, or you once ran against me, or you once said something about me.
He doesn't care.
If he perceives that you have Developed a capacity to support him and help him win and help him achieve things that are on his agenda He will support you.
He will say wonderful things about you now Does he feel that warmly about DeSantis maybe?
interestingly there And I know listen let's extinguish this Trump would as a practical matter not a constitutional matter a practical matter need to move his residency and wouldn't it be great to move it to new york the state that's trying to kill him the reason why is can you have two guys from the same state yes you can but the electors cannot vote for both of them so as in 2000 when dick cheney changed his residency from texas to wyoming
That's a gut punch.
It's when I used to like the Chaney family.
That's what Trump would have to do if he wanted to run with DeSantis or Byron Donalds or Marco Rubio.
And the fact that Rubio is on that list shows that he seems to be willing to do that.
So the mystery on DeSantis is, is there any chemistry really there?
DeSantis is not on the buzz list anymore.
Trump probably thinks well of him.
You're not getting any more run.
Dissectimonious.
We're not getting that anymore because that was back in the day when they were running against each other.
Trump seems famously able to let bygones be bygones.
But I just kind of have a feeling he's looking for somebody else.
I think this is interesting.
Let's psychoanalyze at a distance.
Trump does not need a mindless, sycophant yes-man or yes-woman.
Not at all.
But I think the great thing about Vance, the great thing about Byron Donalds, the great thing about Sarah Huckabee Sanders, these are people who have I don't want to say subservient, not a subservience, but an alliance, a partnership.
I think DeSantis, especially having run and as a governor, widely recognized as America's best governor, it's kind of a back and forth between him and my governor in Texas, Greg Abbott, I think Trump views DeSantis as being a little too, I don't want to say as too big an ego.
But he might have too big an ego.
I think it's the same reason we're not going to get Carrie Lake.
And I love Carrie Lake and everybody in Arizona.
If she'd help us win Arizona, she probably would.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And I love Carrie Lake.
I think Trump's going to take somebody—and one of the cool things about Carrie Lake is her ego, is her self-regard.
It is appropriate.
One of the great things about DeSantis is he's extremely proud of what he's done in Florida.
And he should be.
I think that characteristic, though, might be the kind of thing.
That might make Trump sort of move down the list a little bit.
So on that thing, just to wrap up this segment about ready for the presidency on day one, Doug Burgum should be ready for the presidency on day one.
But if it does happen, or if we get to 2028, I'd kind of like the leg up, the inside track to the 2028 nomination to be somebody who's 40 or 50-something, and not somebody who's 70-something.
Just saying.
And that says somebody who's 66.
Mark Davidson for Seb, be right back.
You You
You The
Welcome back to America First with Mark Davis.
Just a good old boy.
I don't mean anybody any harm.
Just trying to save America here on America First.
Filling in for Dr. Gorka.
833-33-GORKA.
Let us head to Columbus, Ohio on line 2 to wrap up the hour.
Rodney, Mark Davis in for Dr. G. How are you doing?
I'm doing great, Mark.
Anyone that Trump picks is going to be great.
But Sarah Huckabee would be good.
So would DeSantis or any of those guys.
But I was going to say, hey, let's put up AOC's Democrat side.
Let's run against her.
How would that work?
Now, she's 34 now.
I think she turns 35 in October, so I think that would work.
But would it work for the demo?
It's kind of funny.
There are two people, curiously, totally absent.
AOC is one of them.
Has anybody noticed that there's absolutely no mention of Beto O'Rourke?
No mention whatsoever.
Thank you, man.
Appreciate it.
I'll tell you what.
Let's go down to line five.
We're in California with Tom.
You get to take us out because the other guy was nice and concise.
How are you doing, sir?
Oh, of course.
Always the last call or the worst one.
Let me get a few seconds.
No pressure, no pressure.
You are such a great speaker, commentator, you name it.
I really enjoy listening to you when you take over.
We hear you when you're out here.
So, we've got to keep in mind Donald Trump is his first in a long time non-political politician, lifelong politician.
He's a businessman.
And we need someone else in there with him.
It doesn't matter who it is.
I'm not going to lecture people on who I think is better, blah, blah, blah.
Someone that, like you said earlier, is a solid Trump mega patriot.
Doesn't even have to be a Trump mega person, just a patriotic mega person.
Former military, former businessman, former doctor.
I mean, anything other than a career politician.
And they have a history of good, solid patriotism.
They follow the Constitution, etc.
Guys, I'm talking to an audience that knows this.
And if you dig deep in your brains, you're going to go, you know what?
I'm happy with whatever he picks that is of that nature.
Because when trying to go, what's that path where, oh, let's get a person of color or let's get a female.
The left or the people that are on the fence, they don't care about those things.
If you're trying to bring voters over, they're never going to come over, man.
The radicals that we just need to put back in their place or get out of our country, they don't care if you pick a black lesbian female.
It wouldn't matter because they're going to hate us no matter what.
Tom, you wrapped it up with wisdom and conciseness.
Great job.
Thank you, sir.
Which is why when we talk about a Tim Scott or a Byron Donalds or a Sarah Huckabee Sanders or Elise Stefanik or back when Kristi Noem was in the mix before, you know, it's not because they are female or because they are people of color.
They're of quality first.
They're good candidates first, and if they, oh by the way, happen to be not male or happen to be not white, bonus!
And there may be some value to that, but I find I keep my mental health by not worrying so much about that and by taking a look at people based on what they bring to the table.
I don't care about the pigment or the plumbing, as I say, the race or the sex.
I care about the mind, the heart, and the spine.
That's what I care about.
We're gonna find out some other things you care about in our next hour.
Grab a line if you wish, 833-33-GORKA.
Talk to Ned Ryan next hour, too, and talk to you as well.
Mark Davison for Seb on America First.
.
I'm Sebastian Gorka and this is America First with our very special guest host, the voice
of Dallas, Mark Davis.
Thanks.
Thank you, Dr. G. It's the last time you'll hear that, at least this week anyway, until they call again, and I hope they will.
I hope everybody's had a good time.
My job as the fill-in guy is to make you less despondent that the real host isn't here.
It's what I've perfected across the platforms, like, oh, the guy's not there, but at least it's the Texas talk show guy, so maybe it's not so bad.
I am the happy morning host at 660 AM The Answer in Dallas Fort Worth and I've been here in Salem land for about 12 years and one of the cool parts of the gig is I get to show up and fill in for other people and it's been a particular joy to be here with you in the America First landscape.
First of all, as Dr. G enjoys the actual landscape of the coast of Alaska on the Patriots Alaska cruise, I trust he's having a good time, but it's hard to imagine him and Mike Gallagher and all those listeners actually having a better time than you and I have had.
We're going to welcome Ned Ryan from American Majority Next segment, but we're welcoming you right now at 833-33-GORKA.
Let's just sort of set the stage of where we are.
Biden is apparently going to be meeting with a bunch of freaked-out Democrat governors.
He met with some freaked-out members of Congress on Capitol Hill.
The key common thread here is everybody is freaked out.
Now, that doesn't mean it's hair-on-fire crazy.
No, because, for example, 37th District of Texas, the very gentlemanly, venerable Congressman Lloyd Doggett, he's been around for a long time and his was a measured, calm voice saying, it's time for Biden to go.
All right, with us now is Congressman Lloyd Doggett of Texas, the first elected Democrat in Congress to call for President Biden to step aside in this election.
Congressman, thanks for being with us.
You made the announcement yesterday.
You were on with Anderson last night talking about this.
I'm curious, since then, what have you heard from your colleagues in Congress, other Democratic members?
Well, I'm hearing some positive comments, and I'm also hearing some silence.
You know, yesterday in Washington State and in Maine, two of my colleagues predicted a Donald Trump victory.
In between, you've had Tim Ryan and a number of other people who are not currently in office expressing concern about the president.
My concern is that a criminal and his gang are about to take over our government, and we may never get it back.
Oh shut up.
A criminal and his gang are going to take over the government and we'll never get it back.
It's issues you disagree with, Congressman.
It is policies you disagree with.
That's what it's all about.
Democracy is not in jeopardy.
He's not going to be a dictator.
The Constitution is not going to get dashed again.
In fact, the Constitution is going to be upheld, and that is what the left fears, and that's why you get that kind of stupid rhetoric.
But within the Lloyd Doggett logic there, and the other Democrat logic, and again Democrat logic, a bit of an oxymoron, but I think you know what I mean, their passion, their direction, It's the same as ours.
It's just the flip side of the same coin.
What's it all about?
Winning!
Everything is about winning.
As I sit here in this show, or whatever other show I'm on, or my own show here in DFW, I have often said, anything that helps Trump win is good.
Anything that hampers his path to victory is bad.
Democrats feel exactly the same way, but the flip side of the coin in reverse.
They feel that way about their guy, whoever their guy is.
And right now, Biden may be antithetical To them winning in November, and that is why so many of them are saying that he just has to go.
But that doesn't mean that everybody's okay with the current conflict.
Here's a writer, producer, TV guy, Adam Conover.
He's been looking at everyone bailing from the Biden base for age concerns.
The man is not happy.
I simply do not understand how Joe Biden still thinks he can win this election.
I mean, when you're running for office, there's two kinds of voters, right?
There's your base.
Those are the people who have your back no matter what.
And then there's everybody else, the voters you need to convince.
But you gotta have your base, right?
Well, my dad is a member of Joe Biden's base.
He's a true blue Democrat.
And he told me yesterday that after the debate, he no longer feels that Joe Biden can do the job of president.
Not just beat Trump.
He doesn't think that he can be president at all because he has declined that much.
And you know what?
Half of Democrats feel the same way and don't want Biden to be the nominee.
This is the New York Times op-ed section from this week.
Every single editorial in it is begging Joe Biden not to run.
Yep.
And that's the way the field is striped right now.
Let's see how the field is striped in the world of calls.
To the Tar Heel state of North Carolina, Dave Mark Davis in for Dr. Gorka.
How are you, sir?
Yes, I'm doing wonderful.
Thank you for taking my call.
Hi, my pleasure.
Yeah, hey, I just wanted to kind of make a couple comments, a couple questions.
I listened to the debate and Trump really emphasized that if Biden gets reelected, it's pretty much over for the country.
He really kind of said it in some pretty serious terms.
So my two comments are, you know, I for one, I'm sure Trump's going to make a great pick for
VP, and I'm really pretty certain he's going to become president.
But my one question is, I haven't heard much talk about the voting, if it's going to be
rigged this time.
I mean, it seems like... You haven't?
It's like every call is about the rigged election.
It's like everybody wants to say, hey Mark, how you doing?
Let's talk about the possibility of a rigged election.
Hey Mark, I want to tell you who the VP ought to be, and now let's talk about the rigged election.
Hey Mark, I watched the debate and I want to talk about the rigged election.
Every human being on our side of things is concerned about the rigged election.
What I think we share is the hope that it'll be better than 2020 was.
I think we're a little more vigilant.
We're a little more on to them.
And I think that our passions and a lot of local activism will try to suppress some of the fraud that is always going to happen in a human system.
I think it's going to be harder to hoodwink us this time than it was last time.
But since it's not possible to know just how much fraud there's going to be, let's take control of the thing that we do have control over and let's give Trump the landslide that'll make it fraud-proof.
We're in Connecticut, Line 3.
Dan, Mark Davis in for Seb.
How are you, sir?
Hey, I'm pretty good.
How about you?
Good.
Hey, so I just got a few comments I want to make.
First, I want to start with VP pick.
I would say no to Nikki Haley.
She was bought by the Dems, so that one's out.
Sarah Huckabee, I have a lot of faith in her as being a strong conservative.
Jadie Vance is a possibility as well.
We need somebody that's loyal and tough.
We need somebody, Trump needs somebody that's a vice president that's not going to roll over or turn his back or her back.
Uh, no more Dominion machines.
Those have got to go.
There's too many things that allow that to be taken.
Paper ballots, I truly believe in.
I brought up the paper ballots thing earlier, and I think that, and listen, it's going to take a long time for us to put that toothpaste back in the tube, because I think everybody likes the ease and the technology of electronic voting.
But if trust is eroding in electronic voting, there may be just a big push to kick it old school and go back to paper ballots.
All right, one more for this segment.
We are in Minnesota.
Larry, in for Dr. Gorka.
Mark Davis, how are you?
I'm very well, Mark.
I just would like to suggest Martha McSally as a vice presidential candidate, because I supported her from Minnesota when she was battling in Arizona.
She got cheated, just like all of us.
She's a neat lady, no doubt about it.
I have a feeling Yeah.
It has to be maybe somebody who's a little more front of mind lately.
Maybe not somebody who's been in the headlines because Elise Stefanik has not been.
Sarah Huckabee Sanders is not really on a lot of buzz lists.
I just like her.
But Martha is a good woman.
And Larry, thank you.
I appreciate it.
And as we move toward what the Trump pick will be, if it is somebody who's not white or not male, Will there be a little added enthusiasm?
Like, wow, there's a positive wrinkle.
Maybe.
But I will say this.
If the Trump pick is either black or female or both, and I'm not aware of anybody both, there was some brief momentary Buzz about Condoleezza Rice.
I really like her, but she's a bushy.
She's from bush land.
Let's let let's let Condi Rice be NFL commissioner and find somebody else to be the running mate.
Hey, in our remaining couple of minutes here, let's let's 25th Amendment 101.
Here's how the 25th Amendment would work.
I have zero expectation this is going to happen, but here everybody's asking how would it go?
How would it go?
Step one.
Kamala, and more than half the cabinet, writes a letter to the Speaker of the House, Mike Johnson, and the President Pro Tem of the Senate, who is currently Patty Murray, Democrat Senator of Washington.
They write a letter that says, in essence, look at him.
He can't do this job anymore.
At that moment, Kamala Harris becomes acting president.
Bam!
But right after that moment, Joe Biden is able to write a letter to Mike Johnson and Patty Murray that says, hey, it's malarkey.
I'm fine.
At that moment, he's reinstalled as president.
If we get to step three, where the vice president and more than half of the cabinet write another letter that says, did you not listen to us?
We're doubling down.
Look at him.
He can't do this job.
At that point, standoff.
And it goes to the House and the Senate.
And you would need two thirds of the House and two thirds of the Senate to remove Joe Biden as president via the 25th amendment.
That seems like a crazy bridge to cross.
But if there are, it's weird.
Are there Democrats who would vote to get rid of him?
Are there Republicans who would vote to keep him?
Oh, the head spins.
Let's talk to Ned Ryan, maybe about that, when we continue.
I'm going to be talking about the news that's coming out of the White House.
It's been a joy to hang out for Dr. Gorka since Monday as he enjoys the Patriot Alaska Cruise.
I'm sure he'll enjoy being back on Monday and regaling you with all the stories of hanging out with listeners.
Meanwhile, those listeners have Hopefully enjoyed my company or tolerated me much appreciate that your calls are welcome as we continue We'll get back to your phone calls on the amazing passing parade of events this week and moving forward 833 33 Gorka place those calls while we Take a couple of segments and say hi to the CEO of American majority always great the wonderful Ned Ryan is here Ned Welcome.
How are you doing?
Thanks, Mark.
Good to be with you It is a pleasure.
Let's kind of move chronologically.
Let's go from Thursday night, from debate night, your level of surprise at Biden's catatonic performance and your level of, I wouldn't even call it surprise, I was heartened that Trump played it just perfectly.
He didn't beat out Grandpa on national television.
So let's go to the debate and then we'll go forward from there.
I have to admit, I really did think that there was going to be a problem with Biden on the debate stage.
I did not realize how bad it was going to be, to be completely honest.
Watching it, I was stunned at how bad it was.
But Mark, I have to tell you, I think the biggest thing that struck me Thursday night was this split screen right here.
That was the biggest impact, I think, that the debate had for the 51 million people that were watching it.
The split screen, when Trump is talking, Trump's on top of his game.
He was very disciplined, but you could tell he's with it.
And then you had the, I don't even know what you want to call it, the dementia patient on the other side of the split screen.
And I tell people all the time, I do a lot of TV.
Sadly, people do not remember probably 75% of what I say, but they're left with impressions.
And the biggest impression I think that those 51 million people watching had was Trump could do this and Joe Biden is completely unfit for the presidency right now and certainly unfit to run again for another four years.
Yeah, in fact, you're right.
You're right, times two, because the split screen not only allowed us to see Trump talking and Biden looking like they were holding a foil ball in front of his face, but when Biden was talking and weaving these non sequiturs and incoherent moments, Trump just kind of sat there and just looked right in the camera and went, OK, that look that says, as he ultimately said, I don't know what he's saying and I don't think he knows what he's saying either.
His expression said that for 90 minutes.
Yeah, but you know what worked in Trump's favor?
was muting the mics. People thought, you know what, the Biden team has laid out all these rules,
and they're raking this debate with CNN. They're going to mute the mics. It's going to hurt Trump.
No, I think that actually helped Trump. So a lot of these dynamics that people thought were going
to work against Trump actually worked in his favor. And again, he came in. I wish he would
have had a few more details on a few points, but I have to tell you, he showed extreme discipline.
He came out and did what he was supposed to do, be solid, show people he's on top of his game,
and really present to them the fact that, yeah, I could do another four years
and remember what it was like when I was president.
It was an amazing four years.
And this guy next to me is basically a vegetable.
And so I think Trump came out ahead on so many different fronts.
And something else occurred to me, literally just popped into my head as you were talking about the muted mics.
There is something else that might have accrued to his benefit, and this is the first time I think this thought has crystallized, the absence of audience.
I mean, an audience would have been great, a mega crowd going, it would have been fantastic.
But with the silence, the silence just allowed Joe Biden's incoherency to just marinate with greater effectiveness.
Yes.
Yeah, yeah.
No, I don't disagree with you at all.
In fact, I think it also helped with some of Trump's discipline in that he feeds off crowds and sometimes he feeds off crowds in such a way that he might not be as disciplined.
So I think again, you go, yeah, you go back and you look at all these different dynamics, the split screen, the muted mic, no audience, all of these things.
Wow.
I really didn't see it coming off that way.
I really thought Trump was going to be fine.
I thought Biden was going to be very problematic.
I really did not envision it to be that big a disaster for Biden.
Yeah, so let's gravitate from the debate to the aftermath, because it's not like it's so inherently surprising that Biden did this poorly.
What I think was kind of a head-snapping attention grabber was the milliseconds that it took for the entire media culture to turn on him.
I mean, that night they were plotting his demise.
So let's talk about what, in the days since.
So what's going on here?
Is the media culture, are they going after him?
Because they know that he's damaged goods, and are they lobbying for plan B, whatever that might be?
I think the greatest reason for them being upset is that they can no longer hide the lie.
Right?
So that has clearly demonstrated, you guys have known this for three and a half years, come on.
Anybody with two eyes and just a modicum of common sense is going to look at this guy and go, Something's not right.
And a lot of these people are in the White House briefing room.
They're around the White House all the time.
They're around Biden.
So they're seeing even more of this than even people like us.
So they knew this.
So spare me the crocodile tears.
I think they're terrified that the lie is over.
Someone mentioned this, and I'm just going to steal the line.
This isn't so much about the Biden campaign exploding.
It's about a scam unraveling.
in which the entire scam that somehow Joe Biden was sharp as attack was on top of his game was
completely exposed to a significant number of the American people Thursday night. And I think that's
really what's frustrating to the press. And they also realize with these damaged goods and the
lie being over, even we don't think we can get this guy across the finish line on November 5th.
We better figure out a better option.
And the thing that's beautiful about it, Mark, is they should have had this conversation a year, year and a half ago because it was obvious then.
Now they've painted themselves into this corner.
Where are you really going to take Kamala Harris?
I saw a quote from a Democratic donor today, in which they said a comatose Biden is better than Kamala Harris.
That's how bad Kamala Harris is.
And so now they've realized, oh my gosh, if Biden can't make it, are we going to go with Kamala Harris?
If we don't go with Kamala Harris, you might really start to fracture the base and the party with just a few months left before ballots start dropping.
I would remind people, The election is November 5th, right?
But election season starts September 6th, when ballots drop in North Carolina.
You're looking at about two months before ballots start dropping, so their runway is extremely short.
About a minute and a half before we hit the bottom of the hour break, and then we'll explore other things in the next segment.
Ned Ryan here from American Majority.
So as conservatives, in a weird way, we're kind of having a good time here.
Trump had a great week.
It's fun watching the comeuppance for the media and the explosion of the lie and the myth unraveling, as you say.
But all other things being equal, don't we all kind of have to root for Joe to hang in there?
All other things being equal?
We need to root for Joe to hang in there. Again, Bloomberg reported that July 21st, the DNC credentials committee has
supposedly decided they're going to meet and try to endorse Joe Biden
a full month before the August DNC. But after we've talked about the
disaster of the debate and the press collapsing, the press being frustrated, the lie's over. The most dangerous time
is when people are backed into a corner. You don't know what they're
going to do next.
And I would caution people, and I've been cautioning people since Thursday night, after the debate, don't be overconfident.
The left has one thing that they desire in life, and that's political power.
And they will destroy norms, they will destroy the Constitution, they will destroy our electoral process, they will do whatever it takes.
to gain and retain power.
And so for us to be sitting here going, we should be confident, I would urge people, you gotta work hard between now and November 5th.
Amen, amen, amen.
Because throw in the quest for power and their passion to beat Trump.
They'll vote for Biden's head in a jar.
They'll vote for Kamala or anybody.
So yes, indeed.
More with Ned Ryan in a moment.
We'll do some veep stakes.
I know who I want.
I mean, Anybody's gonna be fine.
I know who I want.
We'll run it by Ned and some other things as well.
Mark Davison for Dr. Gorka.
It's America First on July 4th Eve.
Happy Pre-Independence Day.
Happy Independence Day.
you you
you it is america first with dr. sebastian gorka
Dr. Gorka back next week.
I'm Mark Davis in here in Dallas-Fort Worth.
Happy morning host of 660 AM The Answer in Dallas-Fort Worth.
In the home stretch, one more segment with Ned Ryan.
And this is a perfect thing we're going to examine right now because a caller last hour, Ned, said, you know, Mark, maybe Trump will attract Maybe a million or two new Hispanic or African-American voters, voters of color, who are drifting toward him.
But there might be a million or two votes cast by illegal immigrants.
And I said, it ain't gonna be a million.
But what might it be in an election where four years ago, a few thousand votes in just a few states.
Tell me your Arizona example of what happened and why we need to be particularly vigilant.
Well, I want to explain a couple things, Mark.
If you go back and combine 2016 and 2020 presidential elections, they were decided by less than 121,000 votes combined.
And by that, I mean the states that truly decided, the White House, you combine both 2016 and 2020, razor thin.
So people and I, I've had this conversation with people about non-citizens getting federal ballots, and it's a real concern to me.
And in 2020, in Arizona alone, 11,600 non-citizens got a federal ballot.
The Federalist, which I would encourage people is a great site to go to, wrote about this in January of this year.
11,600 non-citizens voted in the federal election in 2020, which exceeded the margin by which Joe Biden won in Arizona.
Now think about where we've come in the last three and a half years.
There have been 10 to 12 million illegals, and that's a low figure, I think it's higher, that have come into this country since then.
Now, if I'm on the left, and thinking along the way strategically, knowing that these six or seven states that will decide the White House are going to be very close, maybe 10,000, maybe 20,000 votes, what do you think I'm doing?
I'm making sure that non-citizens get voter registration forms, somehow sneak their way onto voter files, get a ballot, and actually slip through, say, 15, 20, 25, 30,000 non-citizens that will vote in these key states.
I think this is one of the things that they're up to, Mark, and I think we should be vigilant on that front.
And the other thing that I caution people, even as we're watching Democrats semi imploding because it's not going to be a full implosion
minutes.
It's they're semi imploding right now.
They're extremely good at collecting ballots.
And I think the right is catching up.
I would like to think that American majority action, my group,
we're doing some really good things in some key states.
But the left is very good at this.
They've done it a lot.
They're very good at collecting those ballots and getting more ballots in than the other guy.
And I want to remind people, 2024, you might have a vegetable, Joe Biden.
You might have a cackling harpy with Kamala Harris.
It's not about the votes.
It's about can they collect more ballots than us?
That's what it's come down to.
And we better be ready to collect more ballots than them.
How did almost 12,000 illegals vote four years ago?
How did that even happen?
Is it just the sloth of bureaucracy?
Was any of it outward?
Was it sinister?
Or was it a sin of omission or commission?
I think, well for both, I think obviously it was extremely intentional by certain people on the left to try and slip these people onto the voter files.
And I would argue, especially as we saw in 2020, Our electoral system in this country isn't exactly a first-world electoral system.
Voter files are not clean like they should be.
There's not enough staffing for these county clerks and the people that are actually counting the votes.
Chain of custody.
This is like a third-world electoral process, and those on the left have taken advantage of what I consider a somewhat shoddy process by which we elect our leaders, taken advantage of it, slipped people into the cracks.
And so I tell people, the fraud that you should be looking for There's a certain amount of fraud that's already built into American elections, has been for years, decades, maybe even well over 100 years, 150 years.
What you should be looking for is the fraud in the margins, the 2-3% that actually decide these elections and will decide the White House this fall.
In 90 seconds, pick me a Trump VP.
J.D.
Vance.
What is going on here?
Yes!
There's nothing the matter with Byron Donalds.
There's nothing really the matter with Tim Scott.
Nothing the matter with Doug Burgum.
Lovely man, I'm sure.
But I want an energetic, generational conservative who you can rely on.
Beautiful man, beautiful family.
Oh my gosh, that wife of his and those kids.
So let's just please, just get out there and spread that around.
I've written an opinion piece saying J.D.
Vance should be the VP, but J.D.
had a lot of trouble with Trump early on.
I would say he's had a bit of a road to Damascus epiphany in which he realizes, oh, Trump is kind of the guy I wrote about in Hillbilly Elegy.
Trump loves that.
Yeah, yeah, right. Exactly. And the other thing that I've told people is, first of all, I know this having gone on
CNN and MSNBC a lot in the past, they don't want me on anymore, for some reason, which, you know, I find kind of
hurtful. For some reason, I just, I would love to be on again, but they won't have me on. He does an excellent job
on those channels, defending Trump making the argument. And he's fantastic. And the other thing I tell people is this.
I truly believe that of the the short list of vice presidential potentials, JD
Vance can be the future mantle carrier of America First.
That's it.
And we're setting him up for 2028.
That's what we're looking for.
Because Trump is going to be the amazing first chapter of the MAGA-ization of the Republican Party.
Who gets the baton handed to him?
Ned Ryan, always great.
God bless you, an American majority.
Everything you do, God bless.
Great to have you on.
That's Ned Ryan.
I'm Mark Davison for Ceb, but who are you?
We're about to find out on the phone lines.
833-33-GORKA.
Let's go to the end of the show with you, me, and a slew of hot topics.
I'm going to be talking about the end of the show.
Whatever you're doing, we are grateful.
I am personally grateful.
Mark Davis in for Dr. Gorka.
He'll be back next week.
So what shall we do?
How about if I talk to a bunch of you about the various things that have passed before us in these amazing three days that we've spent together?
As we do, just as a window into this, here's a cut.
Here's Jim VandeHei, a reporter from Axios, talking about the plight that Democrats are in right now.
I would say we've talked to literally dozens of House members, most of whom aren't going to go on the record yet.
The ones who are going to go on the record already have.
They're furious.
Like, they're just not buying it.
Now, I would say they're madder about the response to the debate than the debate itself.
They can't believe that he's deflecting and saying it's much ado about nothing.
They can't believe he's blaming staff for it.
And now this idea that an 11-day jet lag would cause you to have a poor debate performance
strikes them as a crazy explanation for it.
And all, if you're a member of Congress, to be honest, all you care about is your voters
first and your donors second.
Yeah, you like the president if he helps you, but if he doesn't, you will turn on him because
you care about self-preservation.
Preservation.
So they're talking to donors.
Donors are furious.
Voters are telling them what Lloyd Doggett's voters are telling him, which is, we want him to step aside.
These are not conservative platforms saying this.
It's Axios.
And guys, if I can, let me piggyback right on to number three.
If I can, then we'll go to calls.
Because on Politico, not exactly a conservative hotbed, Eli Stokols, who is noticing the shifting explanations, or as I like to call them, excuses.
Well, we talked to more than two dozen people who are close to this administration, close to the senior staff.
And, you know, it's understandable after a debate performance like that that there would be a lot of frustration and finger-pointing.
And a lot of that has been directed at the five or six very senior aides, people who have been with the president a long time.
Uh, who a lot of people throughout the party now are sort of blaming for them being in this predicament, for cloistering the president, uh, sort of trying their best to manage the age situation, uh, to mitigate coverage of that by the media, to really attack coverage of that by the media, um, and more than anything, um, to come up with this rationale that he has to run for a second term.
Note well that that's a Politico guy on MSNBC.
What is happening?
What I believe is happening is at least a good portion of the Democrat power structure, the Democrat ivory tower, both in elected office and across various media platforms, They recognize that Biden is just absolutely damaged goods.
So as we enter into a July 4th weekend and work our way just day by day till we get to the Republican convention, and of course in August the riot-torn Chicago Democrat convention, we've got a couple of things, sort of two collective categories of things to keep track of.
What the Democrats do, how they're going to work themselves out of that plight, and what we're going to do.
Hi, thank you very much and I like your show.
his best path moving forward toward the victory that we all desperately want him to have on
the 5th of November.
Let's do a little phone call action.
We are right across town from me.
We're in Dallas on line three.
Rina Mark Davison for Seb.
How are you?
Hi, thank you very much.
And I like your show.
I listen every day.
I was thinking and I'm not saying that I'm right, but that's how I feel that the Democrat
has more sneaky than that.
I think they're going to hold Biden until the end of time, and then Biden is going to choose Obama.
Lucky tell.
Obama.
What?
No.
No, no, no.
It's worse than that.
No, no. Barack Obama was president. Do you think he's interested in being vice president?
No, no, no, no. It's worse than that. It's worse than that.
Something will happen to Biden.
Yeah, oh, I saw, okay.
We're definitely writing a Tom Clancy novel.
Listen, you know what?
The Obamas are running the country now without the rigors of being in office.
Marina, thanks.
The Obamas, neither one of them has a lick of interest in actually having the job.
They may well be running the country anyway in between days of windsurfing with Richard Branson.
He has no desire in being second gentleman.
Michelle Obama has no interest in being president.
Neither one of them has any interest in being Hey, Mark.
running mate. The Obamas and the Clintons are having probably outsized influence even right now
without any of the rigors or the proctological exams of actually running for an office or actually
serving in an office. We're in California on line two. Dave, that's you. Mark Davis in for Dr. G.
How are you? Hey Mark, good to talk. Well, I'd like to give you some strategy advice on how we can win.
We're in the catbird seat, people, and we do not want to snatch victory from the jaws of defeat.
We've been on the roll for a little while, but what pushed us over was the debate and the ruling of Trump immunity.
Now, but we cannot be complacent.
We have to work hard, and we have to work harder.
Now, here's my strategy.
I believe there are three people, and you gotta have it, you gotta have a person who already has a silver lining around their head, around their whole aura, and that is Tulsi Gabbard.
No, stop it with the Tulsi Gabbard.
Just stop it.
She's not a dyed-in-the-wool, fluent conservative.
I love her for the journey she's on, but no.
Who's next?
She's not the only one.
Johnson, DeSantis would be a good choice, but then you have to get over the sanctimonious comment by Trump.
Trump has no trouble getting over that.
Glenn Youngkin is the one guy who has not really been on the buzz list.
If indeed Trump is going to throw us an amazing curveball, which he may well do, and have it be somebody that we're just not really talking about so much, Glenn Youngkin in Virginia, a state he really needs, a blue-leaning state with a popular Republican governor, could well be the kind of curveball that he may well deliver.
Dave, thanks.
Let me toss a couple of other things here.
Maybe just one additional thing here before we leave the land of video.
Let's do Barbara Lee, Congresswoman of California.
This is cut four because folks are starting to lobby for Kamala.
Here's what it looks like.
I know Vice President Kamala Harris well.
And yes, you mentioned I was the first member of the Congressional Black Caucus, probably the first member of Congress to support her when she ran for president.
I mean, she's prepared.
She's been our vice president.
And why the urgency?
Why do people have the long knives out for Biden?
I mean, are there any one of 500 moments I could play?
Let's go to cut five.
Here's Joe at a global warming press conference.
Just this is who we got.
This is him.
I want to turn it over to Clint Osborne, acting director of D.C.
Homeless Security and Emergency Management Agency, to tell you what his team's incredible work is doing on the front lines for extreme weather events.
Where are you, pal?
Right behind you.
This is why we're in this plight.
Be right back.
Thanks for watching.
See you next time.
Bye.
you you
you welcome back to America first with Mark Davis
Thank you, Dr. G. And I do mean thank you.
Thank you for affording me the honor of being here for these three days.
When we started out on Monday, I had a feeling it was going to be a pretty action-packed ride.
Little did I know just how wonderful it would be.
And I want to thank Eric and Alex and the whole GORCA team.
They're always great whenever I get to be here.
And it's just been a pleasure to work with them and to be here for you.
So having welcomed a lot of guests and fielded a lot of calls and talked about a lot of stuff that's current in the news, as we head into America's birthday tomorrow on a show that is called America First, what is the best thing that I can do to send you into that weekend?
I want to take you on a little trip.
Imagine, if you will, 248 years ago, today, July 3rd, 1776, the ink about to go down on the paper of the Declaration of Independence that was our birth certificate as a nation.
In civics, they should teach this, everybody should visit with this, and you should just literally read the Declaration of Independence and see what these men said about sacrificing their lives, their fortune, and their sacred honor on the line.
The words that gave birth to a nation.
When in the course of human events it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political
bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth
the separate and equal station to which the laws of nature and nature's God entitle them,
a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes
which impel them to the separation.
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed
by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, and that among these are life, liberty,
and the pursuit of happiness, and that to secure these rights, governments are instituted
among men deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, that whenever
any form of government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the right of the people
to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new government laying its foundation on such
principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to
affect their safety and happiness.
248 years later.
The way in which those words resonate in the country that was birthed there in Philadelphia 248 years ago tomorrow.
It is the country we celebrate tomorrow.
Fireworks?
Sure.
Hot dogs?
Absolutely.
But prayers aplenty and a determination to save this magnificent country as we've come to recognize it.
That's what the talk shows are about between now and November 5th.
That's what the election is about.
And again, what a pleasure it has been to talk about all these daily news events with you against the backdrop.
