	you I think it's very important to have debates and we've agreed with Fox on a date of September 4th.
	We've agreed with NBC, fairly full agreement subject to them, on September 10th.
	And we've agreed with ABC on September 25th.
	So we have those three dates and those networks, they're very anxiously Three debates?
	Are you ready for three debates between President Trump and Kamala the Cackler?
	I can't wait.
	Have you seen her off teleprompter in the last 17 days?
	We have spoken to the heads of the network and it's all been confirmed.
	Three debates! Are you ready for three debates between President Trump and Kamala the Cackler?
	I can't wait. Have you seen her off teleprompter in the last 17 days?
	Each one was less than a minute and it was an utter disaster.
	Welcome, dear friends.
	It's Friday.
	It's Ask Dr. G Anything Friday.
	I'm not going to have any guests in this first hour, so you can ask me anything.
	Keep it clean.
	Make it about guns if you want, because it is Second Amendment Friday, but you can sound off concerning any topic of the day or the recent news cycle.
	Three debates, I guess.
	I guess Kamala can't do math or she does Biden math because she was asked about those three debates.
	I think it was just last night.
	And I don't think she actually wanted to give an answer.
	Cut three!
	Madam Vice President, Donald Trump agreed to three debates.
	Will you be participating in all three?
	I have always been on record.
	I am looking forward to debating Donald Trump.
	We have a date of September 10th.
	I hear he's finally committed to it.
	I'm looking forward to it.
	What about the other two?
	Let's make sure we get this photo.
	Everyone look right here.
	Eric, help me out.
	The reporter asked about three debates.
	The president was very clear about the dates he has with Fox, with NBC, with ABC.
	What was Kamala's response?
	She committed to only one of those three.
	The one in the middle.
	There's the one in early September, mid-September, and late September.
	She said, I'll just do the one.
	Ha ha ha.
	Like, just dripping with arrogance.
	But I thought it was President Trump who's afraid of her.
	He said, I'm ready for three.
	Is she only doing one?
	That's the only... She has one script and she's gonna stick to it.
	And if she knows she sticks to the script...
	For more than one debate, it'll look just fake and robotic like Marco Rubio did in 2016.
	Help me out also with what I found out today, Eric.
	Sorry, I shouldn't laugh.
	They've deleted the rank Command Sergeant Major from in front of Governor Tim Walz's name on the Kamala Harris campaign website.
	I mean, he is a Command Sergeant Major, isn't he?
	That's what he claimed, along with claiming that he actually served in combat, carried weapons of war, all claims which have since been debunked by members of his unit, veterans who served with him.
	I don't know if he can last until the convention.
	You tell me, guys.
	I'd love to hear from you vets, okay?
	Not just our buddies in the long grass.
	You know who you are.
	I know you're working very, very hard right now.
	Just any vet out there from any branch, any service.
	Can he actually make it?
	They're deleting his fake rank that he never actually served in and didn't complete the training for from Kamala's website.
	It's weird.
	There's no policies, none, no policy platform on Kamala's website, but they've got enough time to go in and delete his rank.
	Interesting.
	So very, very interesting.
	You know what else is interesting?
	Do you remember the Dominion and the Smartmatic lawsuits?
	Do you remember how Fox News bended the knee and paid out 800 million dollars to Dominion?
	Out of court just as a private settlement because they said, how dare you talk about our machines not being secure in
	the 2020 election?
	Well, Smartmatic, the other company that is trying to bankrupt conservative or formerly conservative outlets, they made a statement on Twitter.
	It's really interesting because, well, they're in trouble.
	Let me read it to you.
	This is from Smartmatic.
	In relation to the recent DOJ Department of Justice indictment.
	Should be indictments because it's plural, by the way, guys.
	Smartmatic has learned that two of our employees have been indicted for alleged violations of the FCPA.
	This is the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, right?
	So it's about US companies not Using bribery abroad.
	The FCPA in the Philippines almost ten years ago.
	It was actually eight years ago.
	Even though, like, the first two sentences have got three lies in it.
	Regardless of the veracity of the allegations, and while our accused employees remain innocent until proven guilty, we have placed both employees on leaves of absence, effective immediately.
	No voter fraud has been alleged, and Smartmatic is not indicted.
	Voters worldwide must be assured that the elections they participate in are conducted with the utmost integrity and transparency.
	These are the values that Smartmatic lives by.
	Alex, when a company makes a statement about its employees, who do you think is making that statement?
	I mean, if it's a big thing like indictment for corruption, is it gonna be like the person in charge of the photocopying room?
	No.
	I mean, your company's in big trouble.
	The Feds have arrested people in your company.
	When you say, our employees, who should be making that statement?
	Who do you think should be making that statement?
	Either the PR team or the suits.
	The suits, or maybe, how about the boss, right?
	Yes.
	Okay.
	You know why it wasn't the boss who made the statement in Smartmatic, Eric?
	Do you have any idea?
	Oh, don't tell me that it's because it was the boss who got in tight, was it?
	It was the boss!
	It was the CEO and the head of operations.
	It was the C-suite.
	So, who's making the statement about our employees?
	Whose employees?
	The CEO was indicted for corruption, for overcharging for individual voting machines to the Philippine government and getting kickbacks for every single machine that they quote-unquote sold for that election.
	Your employees have been put on leave of absence?
	You mean the CEOs in a cell handcuffed?
	Is that what you mean?
	Is that what there was no name at the bottom of the statement signed chairman of the board or CEO or president?
	Oh my my my what a wicked web they weave.
	And it's only a Friday!
	It's supposed to be just fun and giggles on a Friday, although that is rather amusing.
	All right, what else do we have to discuss?
	The continued crumbling of the tampon Tim Walz nomination for the vice presidency candidacy of the Democrat Party.
	We can talk about Smartmatic, talk about the debates.
	We can talk about what is Steve Jobs' widow?
	Doing with her billions.
	Dark money support for the Kamala campaign?
	Huh.
	And!
	So predictable.
	Who do you think Joe Rogan endorsed for the election?
	Because he's such a great conservative.
	He hunts a lot and he's so tough and manly.
	Pathetic.
	We'll play that cut.
	Oh my gosh, the call board is full!
	That's amazing.

	And a title for that monologue?
	Um...
	.
	What did I start with before Smartmatic?
	before Smartmatic. You started with Trump talking about the three debates and then the Kamala
	debate cut. Yeah yeah yeah. And then the Smartmatic. Looks like Kamala's afraid of President Trump.

	I sketched personality's Drawing the samples
	Filming worked Thanks to Paranoid200 for this free part
	Paid by the same company Democrats using the word weird, calling you weird, calling former President Trump weird.
	What do you make of that weird argument?
	I think that the weird argument honestly came from a bunch of 24 year old social media interns who were bullied in school and they decided they're going to project that onto the entire Trump campaign.
	And the reason it doesn't make sense is because you ask who's weird, right?
	I think it's pretty weird to be the Border Czar and to open up the border and allow fentanyl to come into your community.
	I think it's pretty weird to try to take children away from their parents if the parents don't want to consent to sex changes.
	That's something that Tim Walz did.
	Yes, the right response.
	Who are the real weirdos?
	We know who they are.
	Not the guy who actually went to a war zone as a marine, served his nation honorably, and now at the age of 39 is a vice presidential candidate.
	That's J.D.
	Vance, of course.

	All right, let's go to your calls.
	Christine in South Carolina, line one.
	Yes, hello?
	Yes, hello.
	So I'm calling.
	First time seeing your website was today because I heard a news clip on BBN radio.
	But my concern is the program that you had yesterday with Troy Nels and he refers to Tim Walz as a tampon.
	No, no, I referred to him as Tampon Tim.
	I've been doing that for the whole time since he's been announced.
	What's your problem with that, Christine?
	Because, well, if it's yours, then that's even worse.
	I thought it was the representative.
	Oh, he did it as well, because it's true.
	That's the governor who put tampon machines in the boys' bathrooms in schools.
	He's a lunatic.
	Okay, but it's still a vile thing to refer to someone and is derogatory towards them.
	Why is it derogatory?
	It's a statement of fact, Christine.
	If he is doing lunatic transgender Crap!
	Like putting tampons in the boys' restrooms!
	I will call him Tampon Tim.
	It's a statement of fact.
	He did it.
	It's not an insult.
	It's a statement of fact.
	You understand the difference between the two?
	So are you going to let your caller speak?
	If you actually say something that isn't illogical, yes, go ahead.
	It's not illogical.
	You proclaim to be a Christian on a Christian network.
	So a Christian can't say the word tampon?
	Is that what you're saying?
	I missed that in Leviticus.
	Can you show me where that is?
	29.
	Let no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth.
	Why is it corrupt?
	Why is a statement of fact regarding a governor's policy who has been nominated to the candidacy for vice president, why is that corrupt speech, Christine?
	The hearers.
	Why is it corrupt speech?
	No, no, no.
	I'm not going to let you go on.
	Answer the question.
	If you don't answer the question correctly, you're cut off.
	Why is a statement of fact corrupt speech, Christine?
	It's a derogatory term.
	Not derogatory.
	It's a statement of fact.
	Go and vote for Kamala.
	Goodbye.
	John, San Diego, line two.
	Okay, Sebastian.
	Yesterday you were asking If anybody knows how to speak to these young kids of why they should vote Republican.
	Uh-huh.
	I've done it a few times and here's word for word.
	This is how you do it.
	You got to speak to them like they're children.
	Is this stuff that you've actually had, you know, pay dirt has worked for you?
	Yes.
	Okay, go ahead.
	You start talking, and this is for little French kids.
	The reason you cannot afford rent is because the natural growth rate of America is 1% a year.
	That's why we build one million homes.
	What do you mean natural growth rate?
	Population, housing density, economy?
	What are you talking about?
	Yes, we add about three and a half million people to the population.
	Okay, the Democrats have tripled that growth rate over the past four years and there's something called price elasticity.
	Now, if you double... I'm sorry, you've just turned off.
	Talking to an 18-year-old or a 23-year-old, using technical terms like price elasticity.
	Don't tell me you're using terms like that, John, because I don't believe that's going to work.
	No, no.
	Then you explain it to them.
	If you double the price of chewing gum, people are going to stop buying chewing gum.
	But if you double the price of rent, people still have to rent.
	They have to pay it.
	That's the difference.
	So, now conversely, if you Get rid of the 30 million illegal aliens, like Trump wants to do.
	Then you have housing availability, then the market pressure drops drastically.
	Yes, and you end up cutting rent in half.
	And the other thing is about illegal aliens, they tend to be low income.
	Low income workers, after they've paid their rent and their food, they don't have a whole lot of disposable income left.
	They're not effective consumers.
	And the reason you don't have a good job and can't get one is because overall consumerism has dropped because we have so many low income people.
	Right.
	We've got lots of other calls.
	So number one, the crunch in housing makes a lot of sense, especially for the young.
	Give me one more point, John.
	Well, that's really it.
	That's it?
	The reason they can't pay rent and the reason they don't have good jobs is all because of illegal aliens that have been brought in here.
	Trump wants to get rid of them and it fixes their problems.
	And you've had good results?
	You've had people kind of change their mind on it?
	Yes, they've actually understand what I've done talking to them.
	Wow, fabulous, fabulous.
	Stay on the line.
	Let's give John the Kamala Biden t-shirt.
	Four years of Kamala is four more years of Biden.
	Because these are the tips that we're here for.
	Because it's about us.
	We need to win it.

	Well, I know Willie Brown very well.
	In fact, I went down in a helicopter with him.
	We thought, maybe this is the end.
	We were in a helicopter, going to a certain location together.
	And there was an emergency landing.
	This was not a pleasant landing.
	And Willie was, he was a little concerned.
	So I know him, I know him pretty well.
	I mean, I haven't seen him in years.
	But he told me terrible things about her.
	But this is what you're telling me anyway, I guess.
	But he had a big part in what happened with Kamala, but he... I don't know, maybe he's changed his tune, but he was not a fan of hers very much at that point.
	And in case you're not familiar with who Willie Brown is, Willie Brown is the person who...
	propelled Kamala Harris on her political career with a couple of cushy no-show jobs at the beginning of her life.
	He was married, quote-unquote estranged.
	He was 60 years old.
	She was 29.
	And, well, I don't want to.
	What was that, Eric?
	What am I doing if I tell the truth?
	What did Christine say?
	Corrupt.
	Corrupt people.
	Is that what she said?
	Yeah, the truth corrupts people now, apparently.
	The truth corrupts people.
	She was having sex with him, and he was married, and twice her age.
	It's the truth.
	Sorry, Christine, if it offends you, well, I guess you prefer to live in a palace of lies.
	Not here in America, first.
	We believe in the truth.
	And that's why we have great supporters like Mike Lindell, the inventor of the MyPillow, a great friend of the President.
	There's a reason he sold more than 81 million of them, because they are simply that good.

	Let's go to Bill in Michigan. Hi, mighty fine program you You're fantastic.
	Keep up the great work.
	Well, anyhow, the D-U-M-B-O-C-R-A-T-S are at it again and again.
	They want to have aliens voting, and they want to stack the deck.
	I think we all like how the cards are playing out in the Supreme Court.
	Yes, well so far so good and there's been another extension or a postponement for Jack Smith so it looks like the swamp is in trouble and I spoke to the president earlier today.
	I gave him a call, congratulated him on his press conference yesterday.
	The man is indefatigable.
	Thank you Bill for your kind words but we don't take anything for granted.
	We fight, fight, fight.
	Nancy, Philadelphia.
	Hi, Dr. Gorka man, or should I say dude?
	Whatever you prefer, whatever you prefer.
	What would you like to talk about today, Nancy?
	Well, I have a question concerning the assassination attempt on Trump.
	Am I the only one who's noticing that the daily release of more and more information about all of the supposed mistakes and negligence I'm not sure I see.
	What are the similarities?
	One was a strangulation or a hanging in a prison cell.
	The other one was a rifle shot from 130 yards away.
	Nancy, what are the similarities?
	One was a strangulation or a hanging in a prison cell, the other one was a rifle shot
	from 130 yards away.
	Give me a little bit more detail on the similarities, Nancy.
	Right, but the information that came out with respect to Epstein was bit by bit about, oh,
	the cameras were strangely not working, and then the cellmate that was supposed to be
	in the cell with him, oddly was not.
	And all the people that were supposed to be monitoring him because he was on a suicide watch.
	They were supposed to check in on him every hour.
	Oh, that didn't happen either.
	So it got passed off as, oh, this was just weird coincidence of incompetence or negligence.
	No big deal.
	Yeah, look, look, there's a very human explanation for that, and I'm not saying, you know, Jeffrey Epstein wasn't offed by somebody in that prison.
	I mean, I think we'll never know exactly what happened, but if you look at the Occam's razor and the simplest explanation is the most likely.
	When something bad happens because of incompetence, Nancy, what is human nature?
	Do humans who've done something wrong out of incompetence, do they usually fess up to that willingly and quickly?
	Never.
	Right, so I think you've explained for yourself why there might be similarities.
	If we have rank incompetence, whether it's in the holding cell in Manhattan or whether it's in the Butler Pennsylvania Rally, if we have incompetence on top of incompetence, The information will drip out because people don't want to admit that they should have been on the roof, they were having a cigarette when they weren't paying attention, they didn't extend the perimeter out far enough.
	So it's human nature because we've fallen, we're weak, we don't want to admit to our mistakes that the bad news will dribble out.
	However, I tell you this Nancy, It could be failure by design.
	I think that's where we're heading to.
	And I'm dedicating, not this week, week after next, the whole episode of the Gawker Reality Check on Newsmax to a dedicated show on what happened in Butler, Pennsylvania.
	So tune in, Nancy.
	Wow, great cause.
	I'm Sebastian Gawker.

	And someone, our buddy Scooter McDooder in the rumble chat points out.
	Scooter McDooder!
	Today is Vivek Ramaswamy's birthday.
	Oh!
	August 9th.
	Have you double-checked that?
	I have indeed.
	It is indeed accurate.
	Scoot McDoot.
	He is now 39, same age as JD.
	Wow.
	Whippersnapper.
	Play me cut one.
	Today's one.
	It has been over two weeks now, and they can't figure out anything to say other than she's black.
	So that, I don't think they're going to figure anything out.
	They're just hoping America hates change, and America has wanted change for four or five years now, and the Harris-Walls ticket brings it.
	Right, that's all we've said for three weeks.
	And you know who the other guy is on the panel, right?
	The guy who doesn't speak?
	I didn't see, who was it?
	That was Doug Jones, the guy who was briefly sent here from Alabama, because he beat Roy Moore.
	Scoot McDoot.
	This is a D segment.
	You want to come in with something?
	I gotta do PhD.
	We'll go to calls.
	You want to do Rogan at some point, right?
	Gotta do Rogan.
	Gotta do Rogan.
	Yeah, I'll do Rogan.
	Oh, give me two quickly.
	Line two quickly.
	Mic's on.
	Hey, who's this?
	Hello?
	This is Michael.
	Yes, hi Michael.
	What's your comment?
	What's your question?
	Oh, I was wanting to praise him for calling out Tampa on Tim.
	Just sick of all the rhetoric they made him up to be.
	You know, I've got family that's served in all the military since day one, since the Revolutionary War.
	And my good friend I used to play music with, he died in Iraq because he was going to serve.
	He got out and went back in.
	And, you know, it just Just terrible.
	Gotta call out these liberals and demoncrats because they ain't doing nothing but running the country and, you know, causing all kinds of rhetoric.
	Yep, you're absolutely right.
	Thank you, Michael.
	Thanks for calling.
	God bless.
	Scoot McDoot.
	PhD at the top here?
	Mm-hmm.
	Yep.
	I'll come in with five.
	I'll come in with today's five, Gutfeld, okay.
	No, no, no.
	Yesterday's fine.
	Oh, okay.
	Yesterday's fine.
	Yesterday's fine.
	Alan Siddler, the guy who owns this dealership, says people these days just cannot afford
	more expensive vehicles, new or used.
	Listen.
	Previously, we were able to sell a lot more vehicles that were higher priced, maybe around $20,000, $30,000, $40,000.
	People were coming in buying Escalade, Chevrolet Tahoe, Maseratis, all kinds of vehicles.
	Now, most of my customer base is any vehicle from $5,000 to $15,000.
	Anything that's above $15,000 really just sits on a lot.
	Wow, car dealer in Philadelphia on Fox Business saying he can't sell a car that costs more than $15,000.
	I guess that's because the economy is so good.
	Eh, Kamala?
	We're going to go to your calls in a second.
	I've got to play you a cut from Joe Rogan first, and also extol the virtues of my good friend, Dr. Ashley Lucas, who helped me lose 42 pounds.

	No surprise, of course, Joe Rogan couldn't support President Trump because he prefers the gun grabber.
	All right.
	RFK Jr.
	Cut eight.
	That's just what they do.
	That's politics.
	They do it on the left, they do it on the right.
	They gaslight you, they manipulate you, they promote narratives, and the only one who's not doing that is Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
	You a fan?
	Yeah, I am a fan.
	Yeah, he's the only one that makes sense to me.
	He's the only one that, he doesn't attack people, he attacks actions and ideas, but he's He's much more reasonable and intelligent.
	I mean, the guy was an environmental attorney and cleaned up the East River.
	He's a legitimate guy.
	Oh yeah, cleaned up the East River so he should be president, right?
	He's legitimate.
	He doesn't gaslight anybody.
	He doesn't want to put people in prison who doubt climate change.
	Yes, that's RFK Jr.
	I posted the article on my Twitter feed.
	And as for others, we have Tim Pool saying, the cringiest thing imaginable right now is MAGA diehards taking a dump on Joe Rogan.
	Make more enemies, burn more bridges.
	My response to little Timmy Poole?
	Why can't we criticize Rogan?
	Rogan's a hypocrite who'll repeatedly kiss Alex Jones' scummy backside on his show to quote, humanize him, but refuses to even interview President Trump once.
	Explain how Rogan's support for a gun-grabbing loon who wants to imprison climate deniers makes Rogan a friend of MAGA.
	I'll wait, Tim.
	God, people just don't get it.
	Are they afraid of people with big podcasts?
	I guess that's the problem.
	Let's go to Sean Rumblechat Regular all the way from California.
	Dr. G, good to speak with you.
	I've been sending you chats for a while now.
	We appreciate it.
	What do you want to talk about, Sean?
	Well, too much to put in the chat.
	I wanted to bring up the concept, you know, a previous caller talked about incompetence and how that's been escalating.
	If you say Trump is, I mean, not Trump, Obama is 1.0, Biden's 2.0, then Kamala's 3.0, and you've got a photocopy of a photocopy of a photocopy.
	So I would argue that all the incompetence we've seen in the Biden administration with the Afghanistan withdrawal, the border, the Secret Service, everything else, We can just expect it amplified with Kamala with the first sign being the poor vetting of Tim Walz.
	Yes!
	I mean, think about this.
	They're what?
	When did he become the nominee?
	Friday, Eric.
	What was it?
	Monday?
	They chucked Josh Shapiro under the bus?
	I think it was made official on Tuesday.
	Okay, so we're four days later, and they're having to delete his rank from Kamala's campaign website.
	Sean, that's not incompetence, that's just like amateurville.
	Exactly.
	The first big decision she's made on her own to be in, you know, the big girl nominee, and this is what we get.
	Hey, can I quote you?
	I want to put a tweet out.
	That's such a great point, Sean.
	The first big decision she made is to nominate a stolen Valor scumbag like Waltz.
	It's such a good point, Sean.
	Can I put that out on a tweet?
	Oh, I'd be honored if you did.
	Thank you so much.
	All right, will do.
	God bless.
	And here is Kamala's statement that was read on cable news earlier today about little Timmy Waltz's military record.
	Cut six.
	I want to read to you part of the statement that they put out in response to this.
	this. It says in part, in his 24 years of service, the governor carried, fired and
	trained others to use weapons of war. Many times, Governor Walz would never
	insult or undermine any American service to the country. In fact, he
	thanks Senator J. D. Vance for putting his life on the line for our country.
	It's the American way. And then they went on to say they specialized Tim
	Walz in heavy artillery and had rubbings for proficiency and sharp
	suiting. They also talked about the fact that he served in operation
	enduring freedom there. Um, and he talked about the the fact that he sort of was someone who was a leader in
	the military but they are not specifically saying whether or not he misrepresented
	his time.
	Eric what's sharp-suiting is that what your boss does every day? Is that like
	having a really nice tailor have sharp-suiting?
	Rebens in sharpsooting, yeah.
	Rebens in sharpsooting.
	That's not what she, Kamala, should have said, because Tim Watts didn't say he trained with weapons of war.
	We have the video.
	He said, I carried weapons of war in war.
	Alex.
	That guy deployed with his National Guard unit.
	Did you hear where he deployed to?
	Which war zone?
	Are you aware?
	No, I heard he didn't deploy.
	He did deploy somewhere.
	You know where he deployed?
	Where?
	To the dangerous war zone of Italy.
	Wow.
	He was carrying his weapon of war as he was sipping that cappuccino on the piazza.
	That's where he was.
	No words.
	What a disgrace.
	No words entirely, but it's radio so we've got to keep on talking.
	We'll go to our good buddies Don and Brett next here on America First coming to you live from the reliefactor.com studios from just outside the insalubrious, fetid, rank, malodorous, noisome, ghastly swamp that is Washington DC.
	Please, please tell me you've made the decision not to fund the left with your phone calls.
	It really, I mean, it is that simple.
	If your cell phone is subscribed to the big cell phone companies, Every call you make, every text you send, helps to fund people who hate you and your values.
	Why?
	Because the big cell phone companies are left-wing, they're woke.
	Every year, they take millions of dollars from the profits you make for them as a subscriber, and they donate that money to organizations like Planned Parenthood, to fund abortions, to foundations that are trying to censor and cancel conservatives, or to anti-Second Amendment organizations.
	Why would you do that?
	It makes no sense to fund your enemies with a thing you use every single day.
	Do what I did.
	Switch today to the only Christian conservative cell phone company in America.
	It's Patriot Mobile.
	Glenn and his team are the very, very best.
	And they have the same nationwide coverage, a performance guarantee, and right now, if you switch, and it's as easy as calling 972-PATRIOT, you keep your old number, you keep your old phone, or get an upgrade, you'll get one month absolutely free if you use my name.
	Don't wait another day.

	Italy Italy.
	Maybe the plot twist is he's a time traveler and he fought in World War II in Italy.
	I'm freaking out.
	What did you say?
	Sipping cappuccinos in the piazza?
	In the piazza.
	Sipping cappuccinos in the piazza.
	Or, if he was actually as old as he looks, he could have fought in World War II for all we know.
	God, yeah.
	How does a guy who's 60 look at that at all?
	He looks horrible at that age.
	My goodness.
	Like, ugh.
	I get some people don't age well, but man, I shared it with friends.
	I was like, hey, guess without cheating.
	One friend guessed 74 years old.
	I'm like, yeah, that's accurate.
	Yeah.
	And it's not unprecedented that the ticket may have to drop him after he's been nominated.
	It's happened.
	It's happened.
	72, yeah.
	I mean, McGovern dropped Eagleton for way less.
	It turned out, I looked it up by the way, apparently Eagleton admitted to Woah.
	Oh yeah.
	Electroconvulsive therapy is a treatment for depression.
	Woah.
	But I think Stolen Valor is worse, arguably.
	Oh yeah.

	I know Mr. G isn't here, but that first hour flew by.
	No guests, sorry.
	That was pretty, like, I know you were fielding the calls, but that was fun.
	That was great, yeah.
	Just rapid fire calls for a whole hour.
	I dig it.
	We've got to get our two buddies in before the hour is over.
	But first, Katie's new book is a central reading, Next Gen Marxism, co-authored with Mike Gonzalez.
	They worked on it for a year.
	It is pure gold to understand what the left has become and what we have to do about it.
	Next Gen Marxism, what it is and how to combat it, Katie Gawker and Mike Gonzalez.
	Katie's new podcast with Jennifer Horne is the Happy Women podcast, rocketing up the charts, blowing up on YouTube, the Happy Women podcast.
	And I think we have to talk about the latest t-shirt, the Kamala Biden t-shirt.
	Half her face, half Joe's.
	If you vote for her, you'll get four more years of Biden.
	All that and so much more at SebGawkerStore.com.
	Let's go to Don in Los Angeles, line one.
	Dr. G, greetings from behind enemy lines in occupied America.
	How's your Friday so far?
	Great so far.
	Better now that I'm speaking with you.
	You know, I want to run something by you real quick, Dr. G. This friend of mine at work totally stunned me.
	He came up and he was spouting all this anti-Israel, anti-Netanyahu, anti-APEC rhetoric, and he's showing me all these websites or podcasts, and one of them's some general who doesn't know a friend from an enemy, but the other one's Scott Ritter.
	Oh, no, no, no.
	Don't go there.
	Don't go there.
	Scott Ritter?
	Do you know Scott Ritter is a convicted pedophile, right?
	Oh no.
	Oh yeah.
	Sadly served in the armed forces, was a UN inspector, wicked conspiracy theorist, and was convicted for either child porn, I think it was child pornography.
	So, Don, run a million miles away from Scott Ridder.
	Bad dude.
	But thank you for checking in with me.
	Let's go to another good friend, Brent in Los Angeles.
	Mogadittos, Great Gorga.
	Greetings, my friend.
	What would you like to share with us today, poet laureate of the airwaves?
	Well, I wanted to speak about Democrats proudly abandoning America and stealing its valor.
	If Camilla and Tim's democracy does not care about Obama, Biden, or Harris abandoning our soldiers and citizens in Afghanistan, Benghazi, our hostages in Gaza, our allies around the world, or our veterans, I do not think they will care about the CCP comrade who abandoned his men and who, communist to hate us, chose to be her vice predator.
	If Democrat voters do not care about stealing the life savings of millions of Americans, stealing the lives of millions of black babies at Planned Parenthood, stealing our constitutional rights or their own children by trans teacher unions, I don't think they will care about stolen valor, which they cannot comprehend, having no valor, no honor, no morals, and no God.
	I love that.
	I might have to use that, Vice Predator.
	That's very good, instead of Vice President.
	I've looked it up, just to make sure that we have the facts all right.
	Scott Ritter was indeed convicted of numerous sex offenses.
	Including unlawful contact with a minor, corruption of minors and indecent exposure.
	How does that person have a podcast?
	Unbelievable.
	It's Friday, Second Amendment Friday.
	Ask Dr. G anything and make movies great again.
	Don't go anywhere.
	You'll really be disappointed if you do.
	Thanks for watching!
	you you
	you He may have been born in Britain, but now his heart is America's.
	It's your favorite legal immigrant, President Trump's former strategist, Dr. Sebastian Gorka.
	Oh, that's a Friday line and some Friday bumper music.
	Second hour.
	Welcome back, dear friends, to America First with me, your host, Sebastian Gorka.
	It's Friday, which means it's Second Amendment Friday, and we're so grateful to Justin Moon and the amazing people at the Car Firearms Group who understand that the Second Amendment is not about white tails.
	They understand it's about you, the ultimate guarantor of your freedom.
	Their personal defense weapons are superb.
	That's why I carry a 9mm car.
	Every single day.
	But you need to check out also the iconic Desert Eagle line of weapons that they own, and the historic Inter Ordnance line, including the M1 Carbine, the venerable Tommy Gun, and the legendary 1911.
	I have one of their 10mm 1911s.
	It is like a flipping laser beam.
	It's so accurate.
	Check them all out at KAHR.com.
	That's KAHR.com.
	We could just dedicate the whole show to the President's 70-minute speech yesterday in which he... Hold on there.
	Took 42 questions!
	42 questions!
	I'd love to know how many questions Kamala has taken in the last three and a half years.
	And he did something incredibly gracious.
	He talked about one of the most corrupt politicians in America and his decision regarding Hillary Clinton.
	You know, with Hillary Clinton, I could have done things to her that would have made your head spin.
	I thought it was a very bad thing.
	Take the wife of a president of the United States and put her in jail.
	And then I see the way they treat me.
	That's the way it goes.
	But I was very protective of her.
	Nobody would understand that, but I was.
	I think my people understand it.
	They used to say, lock her up, lock her up.
	And I'd say, just relax, please.
	We won the election.
	I think it would be very... I think it would have been horrible for our country if I... And we had her between the hammering of all of the files.
	And don't forget, she got a subpoena from the United States Congress.
	And then, after getting the subpoena, she destroyed everything that she was supposed to get.
	I couldn't... I didn't think... I thought it was so bad.
	To take her and put her in jail, the wife of a president of the United States, and then, when it's my turn, nobody thinks that way.
	I thought it was a very terrible thing.
	And she did a lot of very bad things.
	I'll tell you what, she was pretty evil.
	But in terms of the country and in terms of unifying the country, bringing it back, to have taken her and to have put her in jail, and I think you know the things as well as I do, there were some pretty bad acts that she did.
	I think it would have been very bad for our country.
	President Trump didn't do to his rival Hillary Clinton, who actually committed crimes, that which they are doing to him, despite him being innocent.
	Incredible show of grace.
	Who is the man who makes statements like that?
	Well, let's talk to his attorney and his senior adviser, a man he relies upon, and who is a great friend of this show.
	We just called him the Baron.
	Boris Epstein, welcome back to America First.
	Thank you so much, my friend.
	Great to be with you.
	Great to be on the show.
	It's an honor.
	So, this show is manga, all right?
	The people who listen to this show support President Trump.
	And I'm sure some of them would like to have seen Hillary charged and in front the jury of her peers to be measured as to her guilt for the crimes she committed, which aren't just about emails, they're about all kinds of other things.
	Explain to them why it's so important that the president said what he said, in terms of the fabric of the republic, and why he said, we could have done that, but we didn't.
	Because that was such a magnanimous statement.
	Well, Sebastian, President Trump has always fought against weaponization of law enforcement.
	And he has obviously now been the target of it for years and years and years.
	And it's going back to 2015.
	We've seen absolutely irrefutable evidence that the DOJ, the FBI, started back under the Obama administration, all through President Trump's own administration, through the deep state, and now under crooked Joe Biden.
	Absolutely horrible, worst ever Vice President in the history of our country.
	President Trump has been under attack by law enforcement, by the Department of Justice, and by radical political actors, both local, state, and federal.
	And what the President said yesterday so clearly is that he was not willing to engage in that same game.
	He did not want to go and put the wife of a president of the United States, a senator,
	a former secretary of state, in jail because he believes in America.
	He believes that that would have been a bad message.
	And what have the Democrats tried to do?
	They've tried everything they can to attack President Trump while using the justice system
	in Manhattan, in Georgia, obviously, in Florida, the case was now dismissed, and in D.C.
	in a case where you just had the DOJ yesterday asking for more time because they're in disarray due to the historic immunity decision by the United States Supreme Court.
	So President Trump, he wanted to continue the promise of America, which is you don't use the justice system, you don't use weaponization of welfare against political opponents.
	The Democrats have gone the other way, and that's why the American people are turning against them in droves.
	Yeah, it's such an important thing.
	Thank you for mentioning that.
	We didn't even have time in yesterday's three hours.
	The request by Jack Smith and the DOJ for another extension because they're such a bunch of hacks that they can't even bring their fake case against President Trump in time.
	I called the President.
	We spoke earlier today.
	He was on the tarmac on his way to Montana.
	We'll be covering that rally.
	From Newsmax tonight, join us.
	He's always on the road, absolutely indefatigable.
	The amazing press conference yesterday.
	I have to get your take because you have such a historic perspective as well, not just as a campaign hand.
	I get a feeling, Baron, That with the deletion yesterday of Tim Walz's Command Sergeant Major rank, the deletion of that rank from Kamala Harris' campaign website, could it be that he's going to be jettisoned and exchanged just like they did blatantly and outrageously to Josh Shapiro before the convention?
	It doesn't look good, does it, Boris?
	It definitely does not look good.
	It definitely does not look good.
	You know, and the Democrats do appear to be in the mode of throwing folks over the bridge.
	Look what they did to crooked Joe Biden.
	Nobody ever talks about him anymore.
	He's over there wandering on tarmacs, going into empty airplanes and making no sense whatsoever.
	They threw him overboard quickly, and what, as President Trump said, is an unconstitutional coup.
	It's as clear as day.
	And why, if Biden isn't up to running for president again, how can he be up for serving as our commander-in-chief while the whole world is blowing up and our country is in shambles?
	So what's happening with Wallace, no one knows, but what is clear is that he is a complete and total phony.
	You know, Walt is a fabrication, either of his own mind or of the Democrat machine.
	This is a far, far, far left actor.
	Yeah.
	Best friends with Ilhan Omar and Nancy Pelosi's puppet.
	And who is he really?
	Nobody knows because the stories are fabricated.
	You know, the stolen valor, of course, is just so demeaning and degrading to our brave men and women in uniform.
	Also, small things like saying he was the head football coach and he wasn't the head football coach.
	He was a defensive coordinator.
	This guy's an obvious liar.
	But we do know one thing about him, Baron.
	We do know one thing about him.
	He loves Communist China.
	He got married on the anniversary of the Tiananmen Square Massacre.
	So that is perhaps the most problematic thing about Tim Walz.
	We've only got like a minute and a half left.
	I have to ask you, We played the cuts.
	President Trump said we've agreed three dates for the debate.
	We're ready to roll.
	Kamala was asked yesterday and she only said yes to one of the debates.
	Is she gonna try and run and hide like her former boss during the 2020 election, Barron?
	Well, she's already running and hiding.
	She said, oh, I'll do my first interview before the end of August.
	That's in three weeks.
	She's running and hiding because everyone knows, look at any of the clips of any of her interviews, of any of her interactions, this is somebody who's not up to running a 7-Eleven, let alone up to running the United States of America.
	Kamala Harris is not fit for the role of Vice President.
	She's definitely not fit for the role of President.
	And she's hiding from the American people.
	And now you are starting to see it from President Trump's powerhouse press conference yesterday, where he went all around the world and hit all the key issues, domestic and international.
	Even the mainstream press are now saying, wait, what's going on?
	President Trump is talking.
	Why is Kamala Harris hiding?
	It's absolutely ridiculous.
	And the answer is clear, because She and her team are scared of her getting exposed.
	That's exactly what will happen when she gets crushed by President Trump in the debates.
	42 questions the President took yesterday.
	Kamala Harris spoke off teleprompter for 18 seconds.
	Senior advisor to the Trump 2024 campaign, the President's attorney.

	I'll use Iran in the next segment with Jim.
	Okay.
	Yeah, I'm going to use four and Iran in the next segment.
	Got it.
	Yes, because they're both about Iran.
	Yep.
	Alright, two and a half minutes.
	Have you had a vacation?
	Yeah.
	Where'd you go?
	I didn't.
	Oh, you didn't?
	Are you gonna?
	No, not right now.
	I don't have any plans.
	I've got a trip in September.
	I've got to go to Switzerland and Paris.
	I've talked to Arne going with me.
	We should get to see Geneva and Paris.
	We watched a new show yesterday on cheese.
	A whole series on cheese.
	I think that sounds really cool.
	And the first episode was Switzerland.
	And it was like, you're like salivating.
	You're five minutes in and he's going to Gruyere to see how it's made.
	I never forget, one time we went and visited these friends in Switzerland.
	It was one of these things where the whole family shows up and everything.
	And I don't remember the name of the town, but it was the most amazing food I've ever eaten in my entire life.
	The milk, they would go down every night and get the milk from their friends.
	the butter I mean everything was so unbelievable I mean I've never tasted
	food like that in my life I've never tasted but you just sit there and eat
	the butter and the cheese so and if they did the cheese it's you know you do half
	a wheel and then they put like ash mm-hmm and then they put another half on
	top and it has like a rind a little Like this black line through the middle?
	Yeah.
	It's like, you know, you get the morning milk and then you make half the cheese and then you cover it with that.
	And then you do the afternoons, right?
	And I forget what it's called, but man, that was unbelievable.
	Oh, man.
	I think we're gonna have to buy some cheese tonight.
	Yep, I think that's a good idea.
	45 seconds.
	Car at the top.
	Yep.
	I just need a couple more weeks before the crazy starts.
	It's not crazy enough for you yet?
	No, no, no, no, no.
	You're crazy.
	Thank you for watching.
	I hope you enjoyed this video.

	I'll see you in the next video.
	Bye.
	This is Second Amendment Friday on America First with Dr. G.
	I need a Hawaiian shirt on.
	Maybe my guests can make out for it.
	This is America First.
	It's Second Amendment Friday.
	Thanks to the great people at the Carr Firearms Group.
	They understand that the First Amendment can only be guaranteed by the Second Amendment.
	If things go wrong, it's up to you to be the guarantor of your liberty.
	Justin Moon and the team get it, and they stand by us here at America First.
	Check out their amazing line of personal defense weapons.
	I carry a 9mm car every day at KAHR.com.
	That's K-A-H-R, K-A-H-R.com, where they also have the Desert Eagle line of, you know, famous Hollywood weapons, and the historic American Inter Ordnance line, the M1 Carbine, the Tommy Gun, and the legendary 1911.
	That's KAHR.com, K-A-H-R.com.
	All right, so the cut I wanted to share with you here, Eric was... Ah, yes.
	Humor about serious things.
	There's a couple of good guys at Fox, and one of them is Greg Gutfeld.
	It leaves you with a scary image of Greg in his camouflage swimming trunks, but the deeper point is well taken.
	Let's listen to Greg Gutfeld.
	People may be ambivalent about this because they're not in the military, but it cares... People who are in the military, they do care about this, so you have to respect that opinion.
	I like that he said he would ban the very weapons that he carried in war, which means no weapons, so I could go and get a tank.
	But you know what?
	Here's the thing.
	It's really easy not to say you were in war.
	I mean, I'll be at the beach, okay?
	People will come up to me and they'll go, thank you for your service, because I'm wearing a camo speedo.
	And I go, look, I'm a civilian.
	I'm always quick to add, I'm a civilian, and then they go on their way.
	But the reason why it's like, People in the military care is because almost all the cases of stolen valor are in the military.
	It's not like Jesse's going around midtown telling everybody he's in, you know, the Navy SEALs, at least anymore.
	But it would be like if you don't let me put it this way.
	Do you think it doesn't matter?
	Imagine somebody claiming to take credit for your work and you go to a bar to meet your other friends at happy hour and you go, you wouldn't believe this.
	This guy, Jesse, steals my work all the time.
	And then your friends go, that's no big deal, dude.
	It's just what good.
	They don't care because it's not their work.
	So you have to understand that the stolen valor is particularly important to the people that are in that world.
	So as small as these items might be, they're not small to the people in that world.
	I don't think I'm ever going to be able to get the idea of Greg Gutfeld and his camo speedos out of my mind, but it's a serious issue and somebody who can help us understand it is somebody who served for several decades in the U.S.
	Army, our good friend Jim Carafano, Senior Counsel to the President of the Heritage Foundation.
	Look, he's right.
	The stolen value thing is often With regards to people who inflate themselves, who may have served.
	And whenever I talk about what I did in the British Army, I say, I was in the reserves, and I didn't deploy anywhere.
	Up front, I always say, the limitations.
	Now, does this story matter?
	The rank, the weapons of war, OEF, Afghanistan?
	To people like you, is this a storm in a teacup?
	Yeah, so here's why I disagree with Greg Gunfeld, which is not unusual, because he's wrong lots of times.
	It's not a small matter, and it's not just a thing for military people.
	And don't believe me, there are like half a million social media posts In just days.
	On this?
	On this issue.
	In just days, right?
	Name me one person who lied about a rank they held, a medal they deserved, or where they served, who profited by that when people found out they did that.
	And the answer is no.
	So the reality is, people do care about this.
	And, you know, some of the things you can debate about, like, did you go deploy with your unit or not?
	You know, we could argue about that, right?
	One of the things that you cannot debate, the factual things that define the military service, the rank that you served, The medals that you were awarded, the places that you served.
	These are kind of the undeniable... These are lines you can't... Right, because they're non-negotiable.
	They either happened or they didn't.
	Right, exactly.
	They're just factually true or they're not.
	And if you state them and they're not true, there's only one reason that you did that, and that was to inflate your stature, your credibility... Your profit.
	Right, and to profit by, to wrongfully profit by military service.
	So it is a fraud.
	It may not be a legal fraud, but it is clearly a fraud and people recognize that.
	So even if they don't necessarily understand military service and service and sacrifice, they understand a fraudster.
	Yeah, so you had like more than two decades, very serious drove nuclear artillery.
	Is there a ranking or is there one of these that's more neuralgic than the other?
	So we have Command Sergeant Major, which has been deleted from the Kamala Harris website as of yesterday, which he didn't fulfill all the requirements for the rank.
	Then he said that he carried a weapon of war in war, which he didn't.
	And then we have the question of, credibly, one of the most senior ranks possible before you're an officer of being CSM, leaving his unit after the first time they are sent to a war zone.
	Amongst the possible issues here, is there one that is more sensitive than the others?
	I mean, the ones that are kind of red lines are rank.
	claiming you served in a combat zone when you didn't, and claiming you received awards.
	I do think it's interesting that Donald Trump's been shot at more than this guy.
	Right, right.
	And you think this is something that can be just swept under the carpet?
	No, I actually don't think it is something you can just sweep away.
	And here's the thing for me, and you know me, I'm not partisan.
	If my mother were here, she would tell you.
	I'm not a Republican, I'm not a Democrat.
	Nobody's going to care what I tell them to vote, even if I did, but I won't.
	If you're the, if you're Vice President Harris, there's only two options here.
	Either your people failed vetting 101.
	Yes.
	Right.
	The most, because it's not like these issues for this guy have never been raised before.
	No, that's video office.
	This is not like, this was like secret buried stuff, right?
	Right.
	This is, so either you failed vetting 101 or You knew about this stuff and you said, I don't care about this.
	So which one is it?
	Because either one of those, to me, that's a serious question.
	Both of those are serious.
	Right.
	I think so.
	I think so.
	All right.
	We shall see what happens.
	The fact that they've deleted Command Sergeant Major from in front of Tim Waltz's name on the Kamala Harris campaign website as of yesterday.
	I think it tells you that the governor may be in bigger trouble than the Democrats expected.
	But Jim's point is such a, you know, the point.
	Either he wasn't vetted, so your team doesn't know what they're doing, or somebody made a command decision.
	It doesn't matter.
	They're both bad.
	The latter is very bad, but they're both bad.
	We're talking to Senior Counsel to the President of the Heritage Foundation, the Conservative Mothership.

	I think they knew all this stuff and they didn't care.
	It's not a big deal.
	Who's going to really care about that?
	The crazies will make noise and then nobody will hear.
	And that's just not true.
	What did you say?
	Half a million?
	Where did I see that?
	Half a million.
	In like two days.
	Wow.
	I think I heard it on Fox News.
	Oh, I forgot to send you a photograph.
	I photographed you yesterday.
	You were right there.
	I was watching you.
	You were on while I was... On while you were on?
	On while I was on.
	Yeah, so what are you hearing?
	What's going on?
	Good.
	I spoke to him today.
	Gave him a call.
	He was fighting fit as usual.
	You know what's really shocking?
	What I don't understand?
	Is how there was basically no bump after bump.
	Bump of?
	Bump, a bump for the president, after Butler.
	Oh, after Butler?
	It was like, they tried to kill him.
	Don't you think that's strange?
	Don't you think Reagan got a bump?
	Don't you think Roosevelt got a bump?
	I just saw something, they said his approval rate is the highest they've ever been.
	Really?
	Yeah, I just saw that.
	Eric, you saw that too?
	Yeah, he has the highest he's ever been on Real Clear Politics.
	Oh wow, wow.
	Can you find that for me?
	Yeah, one second.
	Real Clear had that.
	I mean, to me, look, the real news story here is this incredible effort To not challenge her at all on issues, or on the lack of access, or on any of that stuff.
	And I saw some numbers the other day about the number of critical, you know, critical articles about Trump.
	I mean, it's just unbelievably... I mean, it is like journalism is completely lost.
	Any sense of decorum or credibility or professionalism or ethics in any way, shape or form, it just vanished.
	They've literally made themselves a tool of the state.
	That's why J.D.
	going up to them yesterday was so funny.
	And that one, you know, the one that was yesterday was literally where they just took a talking point off the website, or off the campaign, which said that he was, chaired the Veterans Affairs Committee, which is like, how easy is that to check?
	And they just printed it, and then somebody pointed out whether he wasn't even on the committee.
	It's like, it's just unbelievable.
	I mean, to me, that's a bigger news story than, that I can't believe people don't know who she is.
	Anyway, it's funny because I did an analysis the other day about what would her foreign policy be.
	You know, on the one hand, it's easy to say, well, it's the same as Obama and Biden's.
	But on the other hand, it's like there are so many issues where they just can't sustain that foreign policy, like energy, Iran.
	I mean, they go on and on and on.
	So even if she wants to, she's not going to be able to.
	You mean you can't build fake ports in Gaza and have them not wash away three weeks later?
	Well, you can.
	Except for they're not wash away.
	What cuts do you want to use here?
	Yeah, I'm going to tee out Van Hollen and then the Biden cut I requested.
	My favorite one was when...
	Yes.
	When she said, I'm in a relationship...
	I'm in a relationship.
	I'm in a relationship.
	you you
	A legend.
	A legal immigrant.
	A man, a legend, a legal immigrant, Dr. Sebastian Gorka.
	A little less of a legend, thank you very much.
	Thanks to Dr. Ashley Lucas and her amazing team at MyPhD Weight Loss.
	Exactly 42 pounds less of a legend.
	I've got rid of some excess luggage.
	My muse Katie jettisoned 36 pounds.
	She looks absolutely stunning now.
	How?
	Injections?
	Reliance upon chemicals?
	No!
	Just a program that provides us with five protein-rich meals a day that help you burn the fat off.
	I'm down to a size 36 in my blue jeans.
	I haven't been that since I was in my 20s, and it feels amazing.
	If you could lose a few pounds and you've given up on being your former self, don't call her team right now.
	864-644-1900.
	My PhD weight loss for the before and after pictures.
	Mine will shock you.
	In a good way.
	864-644-1900, myphdweightloss.com.
	All right.
	Geopolitics.
	Let's move on from Stolen Valor.
	A very unusual take from... Is this Senator Chris Van Hollen, Eric?
	Is this man actually a Senator?
	He is indeed the junior United States Senator from the state of Maryland.
	Wow.
	Who says killing terrorists, it's just bad.
	Cut four.
	But the negotiator has been assassinated, so hard to imagine how they can negotiate this.
	Yeah, which is why President Biden himself stated that, you know, that assassination was a setback clearly to the efforts to negotiate a ceasefire and return of hostages.
	Look, Nobody here is, of course, mourning the death of Neha, but this goes to the timing and the place of the assassination in Tehran.
	And as you say, one of the people who had been part of these negotiations.
	And so, this takes us to this very, very oiling moment.
	Clearly, the senator from Maryland did not want the head of Hamas to be killed because Mr. President!
	Do you think Iran will stand down?
	What a conflict in the Middle East.
	What?
	Well, if it will, Joe Biden doesn't know anything about it.
	He was asked about Iran's escalation and his response was quite shocking.
	Mr. President, do you think Iran will stand down?
	Do you think Iran will stand down, sir?
	I hope so.
	I don't know.
	Jim, free fire zone, Jim, free fire zone.
	So there are three things the Iranians probably are thinking about, and Biden's diplomacy isn't one of them.
	Negotiations isn't on their priority list, Jim?
	Well, first of all, actually, that is one of them.
	Killing that guy actually is a thing that will probably make war less likely.
	Right, and they'll want to negotiate.
	And the reason for that is, this is one important factor, is the Israelis could have done a lot of things.
	What they did was a very surgical, very strategic, very serious, very proportional strike.
	And it was the equivalent of saying, cut it out, right?
	Right.
	And so Holland is a thousand percent wrong.
	If they had done nothing, war would have been more, not less likely.
	So they would be emboldened.
	And I would never call a senator an idiot.
	But that was an idiotic statement.
	And Biden's statement is emblematic of our diplomacy, which is just complete nonsense
	that we totally ignore.
	But...
	Who said hope is not a strategy?
	A lot of people.
	But probably everybody.
	But the Israeli response, that's one thing that the Iranians are...
	The other is, look, the military deployment...
	I think the Iranians take seriously.
	I mean, we have deployed enough stuff to the Middle East with the Sixth Fleet that can range every target in Iran.
	And we don't know, you know, what back channels are, which is these kind of secret talks that we go through third parties.
	The informal.
	Well, behind the things, what we're really doing.
	And we don't know what kind of messages we said, but I know the Iranians, when they see the Sixth Fleet there, that they take seriously.
	And of course, the other thing is, and people forget about this, is look at these competitors.
	Hezbollah has ten times the military of Hamas, they can do a lot of damage to Israel, sure, but Lebanon's a basket case.
	That country is so fragile that as soon as the war starts, it's going to completely fall apart.
	And it'll look just like Gaza.
	The Iranians can do a lot of damage to the Israelis, no question about that.
	But the Iranians also have no air defense, no missile defense, and every...
	Or projectable force.
	And every...
	That's right.
	And there are countries between them so they can't invade each other, right?
	So what's going to happen, on the five seconds after they start the war, Israel will take
	out all the command and control that enables them to run the country.
	They're going to take out their electrical grid, they're going to take out their oil exports, and then they're going to go after all their nuclear sites.
	So if you're an Iranian, ask yourself, what am I trading?
	Vengeance against Israel for the possibility that my entire regime and country could collapse in 24 hours.
	All right, that's the real geopolitical analysis, and that's why he is a regular guest every Friday, enlightening us on matters of national security and foreign policy.

	you This is Second Amendment Friday on America First, brought to you by Carr Firearms.
	I thank the good Lord every single day that we, for the time being, remain the freest nation on God's green earth, in large part because of the Second Amendment, a right, a God-given right, that Carr Firearms and our good friend Justin Moon understand implicitly.
	This is the right that separates us, free men and women, citizens from those who are subjects.
	It is the final guarantor against tyranny.
	And America First stands with car firearms in that belief.
	Find out today why they are the provider of superb self-defense weapons.
	I carry a 9mm car every single day.
	Go to KAHR.com where you can also check out their iconic line of Desert Eagles.
	It also belongs to KAHR.
	And the historic Inter Ordnance line of weapons including the M1 Carbine, the legendary Tommy Gun and the venerable 1911.
	Thank you, Justin, Moon, and everyone at Car Firearms.
	Check them out.

	K-A-H-R dot com.
	All right, there are more gun owners in America than there have ever been, which makes us freer than we've ever been.
	And also another trend that people aren't paying enough attention to is the absolute explosion, the ballooning, Of concealed carry individuals, licensing for concealed carry, and also the states that recognize concealed carry as a constitutional right under the Second Amendment.
	This has had a great effect on an institution I noticed a few years ago that has become an absolute mack truck.
	In the issue of self-defense, it is the United States Concealed Carry Association, and we have with us Tim Schmidt, who is the chairman, the co-founder of the USCCA.
	Tim, welcome to America First!
	Thanks a lot, Seb.
	I'm really excited to be here.
	It's hard to believe the USCCA has become what it has.
	I started the organization 20 years ago, and it literally seems to have happened overnight, but it's pretty exciting.
	It's the ultimate mission that I know I was put here on Earth to do, and I'm just honored to lead this organization.
	Yeah, I mean, I was aware of you guys with these little ads in gun magazines about 20 years ago when I first got my concealed carry.
	This organization that's going to look after you guys if you have to use your weapon.
	And then I got a shot showing this.
	One of the biggest booths on the planet.
	You know, people running around like crazy on your cool gear, giving out swag.
	So, you could explain the meteoric rise in a moment, but explain the genesis.
	First, the website is uscca.deltadefense.com.
	So, what is the genesis of the Concealed Carry Association?
	Well, Seb, believe it or not, but the genesis, It's when I started having children, when my first son was born.
	I'll never forget standing in that hospital room, holding that little 8-pound baby, looking down at him, thinking, holy cow, it's my responsibility to protect and defend this guy.
	And here I was, a 28-year-old, brand-new father.
	I didn't even own a gun at the time.
	Even though I had been raised in a family with firearms, my dad taught me to shoot at 11 years old.
	But I had a long ways to go.
	So as you can imagine, I dove deep into the firearms community and I just ran into lots of roadblocks.
	And eventually I'm like, there's got to be a better resource out there to help, you know, either brand new gun owners or people that just need to get to the next level, to get them to that point where they can be what I would call a responsibly armed citizen.
	Alright, and then, what is USCCA today?
	What services do you provide?
	And tell us about the relevance and how big you have become.
	Sure, so USCCA today, we're close to 850,000 members all across America, and we have members, believe it or not, I mean obviously lots of conservative members, but there's quite a few Democrats who joined as well, which as you and I both know, you know, there's a lot of people who are brand new gun owners just in the last three or four years from both sides of of the political tent. There's close to 700 employees that
	I employ that run this organization.
	We have 10,000 instructors all across the country. We have well over 1,200 official
	partners, meaning these are ranges and training facilities that partner with us, again, to
	help do the education and the training.
	One of another one of our benefits is self-defense liability insurance and essentially what this provides is is unlimited defense if you ever find yourself in a situation where you have to use your gun and then you're charged with a crime.
	So here you're doing something that you would do no matter what but now you know the local DA is charging you with murder or who knows what which is crazy because you simply defend your family.
	We have over a thousand critical defense attorneys who are literally waiting for our members to need their help.
	So, as you can imagine, Seb, it's a very broad range of membership benefits, and a lot of people realize that, hey, if they own a gun, they need to be a USCCA member.
	Where does membership begin?
	Is there like a bottom tier?
	Where does it begin, Tim?
	Yep, we have three different levels, and the lowest level, the gold membership, is $29 a month.
	So just stop going to Starbucks a few times and you can easily afford that.
	And then it goes all the way up to $39 and then $49 a month for the Platinum and the Elite level.
	You want somebody to have your back if you ever have to use your gun in self-defense and this is why the USCCA exists.
	All right, we're almost out of time.
	Got to ask you, Tim, we can continue this discussion at another time.
	It's uscca.deltadefense.com.
	How much has the market changed?
	Because I remember under COVID, I'd go to the local gun store just to, you know, peek around and get some ammo.
	And there would be people lining out the door, And often, people who've never been to the gun store, especially from the Asian community and others, you know they're first-time gun buyers.
	How much has your family changed in the last five years?
	Gosh, I don't think it could have changed anymore.
	Prior to what happened in 2019 and 2020, you could say that USCCA membership was very similar to NRA membership.
	Typical member was like me.
	I'm a mid-50s male.
	You know, conservative guy.
	But like I was mentioning before, Seb, now we have folks from all sorts of races, all different religious affiliations.
	And even though we are very adamant about the Second Amendment, it is critical to maintaining the freedom in this country.
	Ultimately, at the end of the day, our goal is to teach people to be responsible gun owners.
	And that's what we do at the USCCA.
	All right, guys, especially if you're a new member of our family, you need to find out about this organization and ideally get their coverage, their training.
	You heard about, what, 700 people, a huge, huge membership as well, all kinds of services and legal protection.
	Go today, uscca.deltadefense.com.

	Come in with one.
	And titles for Schmidt and Boris.
	Schmidt.
	What happens when you use your gun in self-defense?
	Boris.
	Kamala's already on the run.
	Yep.
	Hmm.
	idad I

	A It has been over two weeks now.
	And they can't figure out anything to say other than she's black.
	So that, I don't think they're going to figure anything out.
	They're just hoping America hates change, and America has wanted change for four or five years now, and the Harris-Wallace ticket brings it.
	Right, Jason Johnson, because that's all we've said, that she's just black, and not anything about the border, her radical policies, what she did as Attorney General in California, or her incomplete incapacity to actually speak without a teleprompter.
	Yeah, that's exactly what we've been doing.
	Keep on trying to gaslight the American people.
	They're starting to see through you.
	And also through Nancy.
	This is, um...
	What has happened to her?
	Eric, she's not... You know, I never liked her, but... She quasi behaved like somebody who can control herself, but now that she's not the speaker, it's like kind of falling apart, isn't it?
	It really is.
	I mean, I guess maybe she figured Biden couldn't keep it hidden forever, so I guess it's only a matter of time before she can't keep it hidden forever either.
	And it's all the weird hand gestures.
	I mean, this next clip, just very, very strange hand gestures.
	But listen to Nancy Pelosi on not giving advice to Kamala.
	Today's fight in the presidential contest, Donald Trump having a press conference trying to highlight the fact that Vice President Harris hasn't taken questions from reporters, hasn't done interviews.
	Do you think that the Vice President needs to be more out there talking to reporters, talking about issues in a give and take, not just in speeches?
	I think she should say what I just said in that sentence.
	She should be herself.
	She should be ready.
	She should know her power in all of this.
	And I don't give anybody advice except to be themselves and be ready and know the power of their individuality and their authenticity.
	Shaking her fist the whole time.
	Knowing her power.
	Knowing her power.
	Eric, do you have the cut we didn't play yesterday from Kamala Cut 10?
	Do you have that available?
	Because I guess this is the power.
	Look at how she responds to a heckler at her event.
	Project 2025.
	If he is elected, I'm here because we believe in democracy.
	Everyone's voice matters, but I am speaking now.
	I am speaking now.
	And he intends to end the Affordable Care Act.
	You know what?
	If you want Donald Trump to win, then say that, otherwise I'm speaking.
	Otherwise I'm speaking!
	Alex, she seems like a nice woman, doesn't she?
	She has nothing.
	She speaks in cliches and platitudes.
	She is just empty.
	But then she gets angry.
	I'm speaking now!
	Don't you know I'm speaking?
	I've got a podium!
	How dare you!
	How did we get here?
	Katie's got all the answers with Mike Gonzalez in their new book, Next Gen Marxism, what it is and how to combat it.
	Get it right now.
	Katie Gawker, Mike Gonzalez, Next Gen Marxism, what it is and how to combat it.

	At the end of every commercial, the list of possible side effects is astounding.
	I mean, when Katie and I started our weight loss journey, it was to get healthy and leaner, not get skinny and sick.
	The side effects for those drugs include thyroid tumors, kidney disease, diarrhea, blurred vision, and that's just the start of it.

	I want to talk to God.
	you Let's go see him together.
	Ghostbusters Theme Song Ghostbusters Theme Song
	Yes, we're back.
	Something strange going on.
	Something's wrong.
	Gloomy, gloomy.
	Outside is the storm.
	All alone.
	Certified check.
	What cash or money order?
	Yo, is that what I did?
	Did I see something move?
	Forget Bill Murray, Rick Moranis, Stan Aykroyd.
	It's Annie Potts for me, the star of the show.
	Ghostbusters 2.
	It only took us... Eric, how many weeks have we planned this one?
	I believe it has been six full weeks.
	Six weeks.
	We finally got around to it.
	Certain things happened.
	I went on a cruise with 400 of my dearest listeners, and they tried to kill my former boss, President Trump, and there were other things that got in the way.
	But finally, we're here.
	It's the sequel that...
	Gets a bad rap.
	I don't know why.
	We'll uncover with my co-host, he of the superlative YouTube channels, Mr. Reagan, and the alpha critic, Chris Coles.
	We finally got here.
	Yeah, I know.
	I feel so bad for Ghostbusters 2.
	We've neglected it.
	You know, I think it may have had something to do with Vigo.
	I think he put a curse on this movie, and it's just been difficult to get it on the show.
	So, again, I've got to ask you, why did you choose this movie?
	Ghostbusters, kind of a classic choice for our 80s-themed Making Movies Great Again, but this is the sequel.
	So, tender place in your heart for this sequel?
	Not particularly, no.
	Here's the thing about this sequel.
	There's something I haven't talked about much on this show in a while, but I used to talk about it fairly frequently.
	Living in the world of a movie.
	Living in that world.
	Ghostbusters is a world.
	That I absolutely loved ever since I was a kid.
	I love the world of Ghostbusters.
	I would love to be friends with these guys.
	I would love to go hunting for ghosts.
	I mean, they go exploring the tunnels underneath New York City and they find a river of slime.
	It's just a little bit silly.
	I think that there is actually good reason for people to have been disappointed with this film in terms of The quality of the production.
	I think there are some things that were lacking in this film that, you know, that existed in the first film.
	I think it suffered a little bit from, you know, too many ideas.
	There's a sort of patchwork of ideas.
	They never really, you know, refined it down.
	But there's also some really beautiful moments, really funny moments, great gems in this film.
	And I think that if you like the Ghostbusters universe, This is actually a fantastic film to go and watch today.
	Yeah.
	Because at the time, you know, you saw the top films and you thought, oh, if it's not one of the top films, I don't like it.
	But now we get such garbage that even a second-rate or third-rate film from the 80s is better than anything they're producing today.
	Yeah, there is this issue with too many themes or ideas.
	They had to do some reshoots literally a few weeks before the release of the movie.
	Because they watched it, and there was no connection between the pink slime taking over New York and this Carpathian, you know, Vlad the Impaler-type bad guy.
	So they had to try and connect those two things together.
	But, Chris, and I'm sure you did a lot of research in the last six weeks, it could have been a lot worse.
	Some of the original scripts for the sequel were, like, gonzo crazy.
	Because, you know, Dan Aykroyd actually believes all this junk.
	I mean, he believes in aliens, spiritualism.
	I'm into this stuff, okay?
	As entertainment.
	And I found out today about an aspect of the paranormal I'd never even heard of before.
	Do you know what fairy mushrooms are, Chris?
	Uh, no.
	I do know what fairies are, though.
	I've actually researched fairies a little bit, weirdly.
	So this is some part of paranormal lore about circles of mushrooms that grow in odd shapes because fairies grow them from underground.
	Never heard of it before, and the original script was about Dana being kidnapped by the fairies who take her to Scotland to the Field of Fairies.
	Yeah, and to the Field of Fairy Mushrooms.
	That could have been the original sequel, Chris!
	No, I know, yeah, there was, um, I have read about the alternative sequels.
	And he did want to sort of expand it to other places in the world, but there was such a feeling that the original movie, like that New York was a character in the original film, that they wanted to reproduce that feeling.
	They wanted to recast New York, if you will.
	And I will say the casting in this film is one of the things that is, you know, magnificent.
	I mean, really fantastic.
	I think that God, now I can't remember anybody's name.
	I'm sitting there thinking of names as we're watching the movie, but now I've lost them all.
	You know, the guy from Rick Moranis.
	Rick Moranis is so good, actually.
	And Annie Potts is phenomenal.
	She deserved far greater stardom, right?
	Oh, I absolutely agree.
	And also, Ernie Hudson was just like, you know, it's so weird, like you watch these movies, and some people are overacting at times and stuff like that.
	Sometimes that's intentional, like when they're putting on the New York accent, like in the scene that we're watching now, putting on the New York accent to talk to the cops to pretend that they're construction guys, you know, and they're doing this whole like, you know, it's a little bit cheesy, it's a little bit silly, but they're doing it on purpose.
	They're, you know, it's a bit of fun.
	But Ernie Hudson is so dang natural all the time.
	And he just does such a great job.
	I think he should have gotten more roles in the 1980s.
	I think he should have been a bigger star.
	Annie Potts probably should have been a bigger star.
	But all in all, it was just a great film.
	Really, I mean, it's just a lot of fun to watch, I think.
	Yeah, Ernie plays the role of us.
	He's, you know, the person who plays just the average Joe trying to deal with what he's witnessing around us.
	But of course, Bill Murray was the big star, didn't want to come back.
	He said, I ain't doing it for less than 10 million dollars.
	Absolute sheer insanity.
	But there's a reason why.
	Let's talk about Psychic TV.
	This is from the opening of Ghostbusters 2.
	Hi, welcome back to World of the Psychic.
	I'm Peter Venkman.
	I'm chatting with my guest, author, lecturer, and psychic, Milton Angland.
	Milton, your new book is called The End of the World.
	Now, can you tell us when it's going to be, or do we have to buy the book?
	Well, I predict that the world will end at the stroke of midnight on New Year's Eve.
	This year?
	Mm-hmm.
	Well, that's cutting it a little bit close, isn't it?
	I mean, Just from a sales point of view, I mean, your book is just coming out.
	You're not going to see any paperback sales for at least a year.
	It'll be at least another year before you know whether you've got that miniseries or movie of the week kind of possibilities.
	He may be difficult to work with and have a bit of an ego, but he really is quite a unique talent, isn't he, Chris?
	Yeah, I this scene in particular, I think is one of his best moments in cinema.
	I mean, the way that he looks at camera, you know, and, you know, gives us a little like knowing look to the audience like, huh, this guy's nuts, right?
	Absolutely magnificent.
	The way he ends the thing because it's, you know, the show is about psychic activity ends the show by going, all right, until next time.
	Okay, I'll see you later, right?
	Just puts his fingers to his head.
	And pretends like he's sending some kind of psychic message.
	All these little things, all these little moments are really brilliant.
	And the funny thing is, in that scene, if you're re-watching this film, that guy's right.
	The world does almost end on New Year's Eve in this film.
	Right!
	He does!
	The psychic gets it right!
	He gets it right, yeah.
	Wow.
	They should have taken him seriously.
	They should have bought his book.
	We are Making Movies Great Again.
	This time it's Chris' choice, Ghostbusters 2, 1989, from Ivan Reitman and the crew.
	They got the band back together.

	Did you find anything in Dana's?
	Nothing but smooth slime residue around the bathtub.
	But I did get something on that Vigo character you mentioned.
	Found it in Leon's Zundingers, Magicians, Martyrs and Mad Men.
	Dig that.
	Vigo the Carpathian, born 1505, died 1610.
	105 years old.
	He hung in there, didn't he?
	Didn't die of old age either.
	He was poisoned, stabbed, shot, hung, stretched, disemboweled, drawn and quartered.
	Ouch.
	I guess it wasn't too popular at the inn, huh?
	No, not exactly a man of the people.
	Also known as Viggo the Cruel, Viggo the Torturer, Viggo the Despised, and Viggo the Unholy.
	Wasn't he also Viggo the Butch?
	And dig this, there was a prophecy.
	Just before his head died, his last words were, Death is but a door, time is but a window, I'll be back.
	The lad, the individual playing the bad guy, Viggo the Terrible, of course based on, you know, Vlad the Impaler.
	We're gonna analyze his performance, who he was in real life and Did you notice who voiced him in Ghostbusters 2?
	Chris, Viggo the Terrible.
	This is played by Norbert Gruppa, a German wrestler with a... How shall I say this?
	The documentary on him paints him as his own kind of Viggo the Terrible.
	Not a nice guy.
	But for a guy who wasn't an actor, pretty good, right?
	Pretty scary.
	Yeah, he does a good job.
	I mean, I think in the 80s, they were, they had this idea like, I think it comes from the concept of the archetype, right?
	And so if they wanted to catch, cast a witch, Right, they would cast a witch that looked like the witch in The Wizard of Oz, right?
	They'd cast a woman that looks like that.
	If they wanted to cast a monster, they'd cast somebody who looks like this.
	You know, if they wanted to cast a weak foreign guy, they would cast the... I don't even know who the actor's name is, but the guy who played the weak foreign guy in this movie, the assistant of Viggo, the little minion.
	Fantastic job, by the way.
	He does a magnificent job.
	They all do a great job.
	You don't recognize Peter Nichols from Ally McBeal?
	And from Dragon Slayer?
	Come on!
	Dragon Slayer!
	Of course he's from Dragon Slayer.
	Well, anyway.
	Phenomenal, phenomenal actor.
	But the point I'm trying to make is they didn't worry at that time about casting for You know, identity, you know, D.E.I., diversity, this kind of crap.
	Oh, we gotta cast a gay, we gotta cast a black, we gotta cast a woman, whatever it is.
	They would just think, okay, what looks like a monster?
	And it's a bit brutal, because they're like, we need a fat guy, you know, because this scene's gonna be funnier with a fat guy.
	They'd bring in a fat guy, they'd cast it like, we need a fat guy, you know?
	But they were brutal like that in Hollywood in the 80s, but it was very effective at telling the stories correctly.
	And that, I think, is why people are drawn to these films even today.
	Like, young people are drawn to go back and watch films and TV shows of the 80s and 90s, because back then, they really knew how to tell a story, and they weren't so worried about the politics like they are today, which has ruined Hollywood.
	Are you saying that because they stuck to archetypes, which really are kind of permanent through thousands of years of storytelling back to Homer, that if you cast archetype and you're not going for the trendiest actor or the most DEI, the archetype will resonate with the audience?
	Is that the analysis?
	Yeah, yeah.
	Shocking.
	Yeah, this concept of the archetype is basically just that there are certain kinds of things that exist in the world that people recognize, right?
	So if you see a snake, most people are going to be afraid of the snake.
	They're going to think it's slippery.
	They're going to think it's sneaky.
	They're going to think it's creepy.
	Same with a spider, right?
	These are sort of archetypical Creepy creatures.
	Uh, you know, the same thing as like a butterfly in a rainbow.
	People typically look at a butterfly in a rainbow and they think, oh, this is a pretty nice, pleasant thing.
	It's not a scary thing.
	Right?
	So you wouldn't, you wouldn't put a butterfly in a movie and have everybody scared of it.
	Cause that's insane.
	Right?
	I think they did this in a Monty Python film where it was like the little, the little bunny rabbit that was terrifying because it's funny, you know, because that'll bite your head off.
	They'll bite your head off.
	And it's funny because it was absurd, right?
	And that's the whole, like, if you can take something that is absurd and recognize it as absurd in a film, people will think it's funny or interesting or whatever.
	But if you put something like a terrifyingly aggressive bunny in a movie and you don't treat it as absurd, you treat it as like, no, this is real, people are gonna be like, what the hell are you doing?
	Right?
	Yeah.
	So and that's what they do with characters today.
	They actually try to flip archetypes and they try to cast the small, delicate woman as the hero.
	You notice in this film, The woman, Dana, who's, by the way, can act like a badass.
	We've seen that in Alien.
	Right.
	She is almost entirely helpless from the beginning of the movie to the end.
	She actually produces some degree of effort to try to save her child, obviously, but she's really quite helpless and the Ghostbusters have to come save her.
	The men have to come save her.
	And, you know, and this kind of movie does resonate with men and that happens in the first film and that happens with this film.
	And it's just something that people want to see.
	I think women want to see it because they want to be rescued, and I think men want to see it because they want to do the rescuing.
	Have you seen the kind of remake that just came out, Twisters?
	Have you seen that yet?
	I have not.
	Clint Eastwood's son, I believe, is starring in that.
	So you've got to see it because there's a tiny half a sentence of wokeism about the environment, but literally half a sentence.
	But then it's about the guy saving the woman.
	And my wife and I looked at each other and we said, How did that just end?
	The guy goes and picks up the girl from the airport?
	Yeah.
	And it's like, whoa, this is, are we seeing?
	Because this wasn't made by somebody like, you know, Tom Cruise, who has a reputation for, you know, sticking, you know, woke producers, you know, where they should go. This is, you know, a mainstream blockbuster
	movie, so maybe we are seeing the recrudescence of the archetype and of the things we know to
	be true.

	That's my whole name as one word, sebastiangorka.substack.com.
	Listen to me, please.
	What?
	Who?
	I, Vigor, the Scourge of Carpathia, the Sorrow of Moldavia, command you.
	Oh!
	Command me, Lord!
	On a mountain of scars, in the castle of pain, I sat on a throne of blood.
	What was will be.
	What is will be no more.
	Now is the season of evil.
	Evil?
	Find me a child that I might live again.
	The first appearance of Viggo the Terrible.
	What was, will be.
	That reminds me of Kamala Harris.
	Unburdened by what has gone before.
	Is she modeling herself on Viggo the Terrible?
	I'm not sure.
	It could be.
	Who was actually voicing Viggo?
	Because it wasn't the German actor.
	We'll get to that momentarily.
	Alright, Bill Murray brings it again.
	Even when it's his meeting with the painting of Viggo.
	Another one of the highlights of the movie, at least for me.
	How you come up with this?
	A lot of this was improvised.
	Here's Bill Murray, the photographer, with Viggo the Terrible.
	Oh, you can.
	Oh, boy.
	Show me some teeth.
	Come on.
	I bet the girls like you, huh?
	Huh?
	The girls?
	To the guys?
	Bet they both do, huh?
	Huh?
	What about the animals?
	Do they like you?
	That's it!
	More!
	Yeah, come on!
	You're big!
	You're big!
	Alright, destroy me!
	Destroy me now!
	Yeah!
	Destroy me!
	Yeah!
	Give it!
	Give it!
	Yeah!
	We need to talk.
	I've worked with better, but not many.
	Thank you.
	I don't know, that laughs like, it's just, it's like comic perfection.
	I've worked with better, but not many.
	Do you agree?
	No, I 100% agree.
	You know what's funny?
	I don't even like, love Bill Murray that much.
	I mean, it's like sacrilege to say that because he's a comedic legend.
	I just never was like his personality was never like heroic right and growing up I was like the hero guys right Bill Murray was such a lunatic that when I was a kid I never really liked Bill Murray, but you cannot not recognize his genius I mean the man is a comedic genius hold on.
	I'm just text.
	I'm just emailing myself right now Ghostbusters Kamala Harris plagiarism I will be posting a video on But I'm right, aren't I?
	I was watching it again this morning and I thought, hang on, I think Kamal is being plagiarizing Viggo the Terrible!
	Yeah, I'm going to do a side-by-side.
	I think that's absolute genius.
	It's like the funniest thing.
	I mean, I don't know how many people remember Ghostbusters 2, but I thought it was funny.
	All right.
	If you did, then we trust what your instincts are telling you.
	If I knew this, I forgot it.
	I was watching a couple of making-of documentaries earlier today.
	I can't believe I didn't notice this, because he's one of the greatest actors ever and one of my favorites.
	Did you realize who voiced Viggo?
	You know, you mentioned that at the top of the show, so I was listening for it.
	Yeah.
	And I don't think I could figure it out.
	I have I have an image in my mind of an actor.
	But I don't know.
	He's from Sweden.
	Christopher something?
	No, no, no.
	He's from Sweden.
	I have no idea who this is.
	It's Ming the Merciless.
	It's the Seventh Seal.
	It's Brass Target.
	It's Blofeld.
	It's Max von Sydow.
	I'm surprised that he just wasn't cast.
	I know!
	I mean, seriously, you're using the voice of one of the greatest villainous actors.
	I mean, his Ming in Flash Gordon was superb.
	His Blofeld in James Bond, not too shabby.
	Not Donald Pleasant's level.
	All right, Eric, I understand who your favorite Blofeld is.
	But Max von Sydow, he would have been fabulous.
	Well, they had a particular look in mind.
	Maybe they had already got the painting done before they got the voice actor.
	I don't know.
	But that painting is great.
	I mean, that painting is, like, beautiful.
	I kind of want that painting in my house.
	Maybe a little too much.
	A little creepy.
	A little creepy.
	And then there's another individual who I actually did realize, hey, something's going on here.
	We're going to play that next.
	I didn't know who this person was, but I said, he bears a distinct similarity to somebody else in the cast.
	Hmm, that's interesting.
	Ghostbusters 2?
	Yeah, I know who you're talking about.
	I think you do.
	We're talking Ghostbusters 2 with Chris Coles.
	I'm Sebastian Gawker.
	We are broadcasting to you from Reliefactor.com studios.
	As I explained before, we think the spirit of a 17th century Moldavian tyrant is alive and well in a painting at the Manhattan Museum of Art.
	Uh-huh.
	And are there any other paintings in the museum with bad spirits in them?
	You're wasting valuable time.
	He's drawing strength from a psychomagnetic slime flow that's been collecting under the city.
	Yes, tell me about the slime.
	It's very potent stuff.
	We made a toaster dance with it.
	Toaster.
	And a bathtub tried to eat his friend's baby.
	A bathtub?
	Don't look at me.
	I think these people are completely nuts.
	The Ghostbusters have been sent to the psych ward by the mayor's advisor unbeknownst to the mayor played as B-Roll in the background because as I was watching this again because the clip plays for until the very end of the scene with Bill Murray's head down so you don't even know if he's there I looked at the psychiatrist and I thought hang on a second That's Bill Murray with a moustache on, and his hair dyed grey.
	That's gotta be Bill playing another role.
	And then I looked up, I just went, Psychiatrist, Ghostbusters 2, and of course, who is it, Chris?
	I believe it's his brother.
	Yeah, it's his brother, Brian Doyle Murray.
	Yeah, he did that golf movie with him.
	Uh, Caddyshack.
	He's famous for doing Caddyshack, yeah, because I think that was sort of like his film, and he brought Bill Murray in, and Bill Murray was sort of like a surprise, surprisingly, you know, sort of like Kramer from Seinfeld, right?
	He wasn't necessarily supposed to be...
	character that people cared about or remembered, but he ended up sort of almost stealing the show in that film.
	And so, you know, that sort of obviously launched Bill Murray into the stratosphere of success,
	which I think was probably inevitable. I have a theory, I've mentioned it to you before, I have a theory that the
	weirdest actors tend to be very successful.
	Like, like Christopher Walken.
	Like Christopher Walken, he does not have a normal voice.
	Like, the way he speaks is weird.
	Yeah.
	You know, not to try to mimic MSNBC or Tim Waltz.
	Weird!
	Everything's weird!
	Weird, weird, weird, weird, weird, weird!
	But there are certain actors who are, you know, they are a little weird looking, they are a little unusual looking.
	Right.
	Or they sound a little unusual.
	Like Steve Buscemi, for instance.
	Odd-looking guy.
	Right.
	One of the biggest stars in history.
	But you know what?
	He's eminently watching.
	Or even Nicolas Cage, right?
	For sure, he's an odd guy.
	And the thing is, if you are unusual, distinctly different than most human beings, but you're also watchable, that is, you have a certain charisma, you have a certain presence on camera, that is an absolutely deadly combination.
	You basically will be a star.
	I've cracked the code.
	And I believe the voice of Viggo may actually have secretly been Sebastian Gorka, guys.
	Did you listen to that?
	I want to keep getting my residuals, don't tell anybody.
	The fact is, if you're a little bit different, if you're a little bit weird, as MSNBC would say...
	The eye tracks you.
	Whatever you're saying on screen, you want to know that you're locked in, whether it's Cage or whether it's somebody else.
	Oh my gosh, that guy's not average.
	And I want to know what he's going to do or what she's going to say.
	So yeah, absolutely right.
	Let's talk about some of the other characters in the movie.
	Let's talk about the slime.
	It's a very simple effect, but it works.
	They start shouting at the ectoplasm, which is emotionally charged.
	...experimenting with the plasm we found in the subway tunnel.
	Careful.
	Should I get spoons?
	Don't bother.
	Watch this.
	Go ahead, Ray.
	You!
	You worthless piece of slime!
	You ignorant, disgusting blob!
	You're nothing but an unstable short-chain molecule!
	You foul, obnoxious moron!
	You have a weak electrochemical bond!
	I have seen some disgusting crud in my time!
	But you hate the king!
	You're just... This is what you do with your spare time.
	Now we know it's a guy under the table blowing through a straw but I mean it's funny and just the line you unstable short chain molecule pretty good and then of course the unsung super character are the twins that are playing Dana's child because of course you can only use a child for 15 minutes on set so they use twins and here is Bill Murray meeting the child who isn't his son.
	He, uh, he had some sort of, uh, clear liquid coming out of his mouth, too.
	Yeah, well, that happens.
	Well, what do you think?
	He's... Well, he's ugly.
	I mean, he's not an elephant man ugly, but he's not attractive.
	Was his father ugly?
	Don't listen.
	And he stinks.
	You're right, senor.
	Did his father stink?
	Yeah.
	Daddy was a smelly, huh?
	What's your name?
	His name is Oscar.
	Named after a hot dog.
	You poor man!
	You poor, poor man!
	Named after a hot dog.
	Chris, could you tell that most of Bill Murray's lines were improvised?
	Well, yeah, because I know this stuff, you know.
	Obviously, I know about movies and these kind of things.
	So, of course, what they're going to do is they're going to give Bill Murray a baby, give him the context within which his character exists, and then say, go.
	Right?
	And, you know, the weird thing about this movie is I feel like they may have done that a little bit more in this film than they did in the previous film.
	And they didn't stick the script as much, and when you do that, things can get a little bit too loose sometimes.
	I think that might have happened here.
	Yeah.
	There are instances when I feel like they should have cut in to a close-up, and they didn't.
	They kept it a wide shot.
	And there was just like that detail that existed in the first film, that detail of professionalism, that is just like a notch below in this film.
	And I think that's why people are disappointed in it.
	So you mean it's not as tight a movie?
	Precisely right, precisely it.
	It's not executed as exquisitely as the first film.
	However, I do think they got the general feeling of Ghostbusters, the world of Ghostbusters, it feels like the same world.
	And so if you like living in that world, this is worth watching.
	I'm sure there are people out there who have watched both the first and second films You know, 50 times.
	You know, I know people who watch films that many times.
	I think you're one of them.
	I don't tend to.
	I tend to watch films once and I'm done.
	There's a few films that are exceptions.
	But yeah, I think there's probably people out there who have just because it's a great world to live in.
	And by the way, I don't know if you're are you gonna show the scene with the slime in the courtroom?
	No, no, we've got two more cuts left.
	I think Eric, right?
	We've got I think I think Go ahead.
	Let me just jump in with the slime in the courtroom thing, because I think this was a brilliant idea, and I just wish they would've just said something like, the energy from the hate of the city energizing the slime is somehow reflecting back into this painting, which has caused Vigo to re-emerge, or something like that.
	Just a simple line like that could've connected everything together, made it a much tighter film.
	But they didn't really do that.
	But I love this concept of the slime reacting to emotion, anger in particular, and this scene in the courtroom where the judge is pissed off at them.
	And then what happens out of the slime emerges two ghosts that he personally, they were criminals, you know, when they were alive, he personally sentenced to the electric chair.
	Now you know, ladies and gentlemen, what Ghostbusters 2 could have been if Chris Coles had written it.
	It's a kind of like a too coincidental thing, but it's okay for a movie like this.
	You can suspend disbelief because it is a little bit of a silly film.
	And I think that that was like, I think really poetic and brilliant
	and really well-written, I think.
	Now you know, ladies and gentlemen, what Ghostbusters 2 could have been
	if Chris Coles had written it.
	He was only nine years old at the time, but we can fantasize about the success it could have been.
	What?
	Wait a minute.
	Lieutenant, I think you better talk to this guy.
	I'm busy here.
	It's some doc supervisor down at Pier 34.
	What's the problem?
	He says the Titanic just arrived.
	Well, better late than never.
	you Better late than never.
	A nice little scene added after the main filming was done in post.
	I hate Cheech and Chong, but, you know, that's a little cameo from one of them there.
	We haven't mentioned Rick Moranis too much.
	Let's have one more cut before we rate Ghostbusters 2.
	And here he is donning the garb of a buster.
	You look fantastic in this.
	You're welcome.
	I was born to wear this stuff.
	Boy this equipment's heavy I'm sorry.
	Any parts of Rickman or Alex deserve their own TV show after that.
	It's such a good combination.
	All right, final thoughts.
	It was pretty much panned by the critics.
	Siskel and Ebert said only one person in two hours in the movie theater laughed at all.
	It did well.
	It made almost 10x.
	It cost $30 million and brought in $240 million.
	I think it's undeserved criticism.
	Just the scene with the Statue of Liberty is worth the price of entry as far as I'm concerned.
	Chris, final thoughts on Ghostbusters 2 before we find out what we're going to review next week?
	Yeah, there's also a cameo from Ben Stein, who, I don't know, you probably actually know Ben Stein.
	I don't know if you're a fan of his or not, but he was one of Nixon's speechwriters.
	Right.
	And a strong conservative voice for years.
	And he's got a little cameo there at the end of the film.
	Yeah, you know what?
	I just, like I say, I love living in the world.
	I think that this film Is good enough for me to love it.
	I actually love the film.
	I loved watching it.
	I loved every second watching it.
	There are even some pretty kind of like impressive effects, like when he's like when the ghost is sort of coming out of the painting just slightly and things.
	And I wonder how they do that.
	I didn't even think about how they did the bubbles.
	On the slime.
	Of course, they put a straw under the table.
	Of course, that's what they did.
	I didn't even think about it.
	But Annie Potts actually looks pretty cute in this film.
	I didn't think she was that attractive in the first movie.
	But in this film, she gets kind of hot and heavy with Rick Moranis.
	And I'm looking at her, I'm going, ah, she's actually pretty cute girl.
	It's a great movie.
	It's a lot of fun.
	It's a popcorn movie.
	You don't have to take it that seriously.
	Rick Moranis looks funny when he runs, and that's worth the price of admission, I think.
	He's telling us the story of his romances.
	His motto, Chris Coles', is good enough to love, and that's his attitude to Ghostbusters 2.
	Good enough to love.
	Yeah, I think, as you said, just super enjoyable.
	You could watch this any day of the week and just have fun with it, because it's funny and the performances are great.
	It's not as tight as the first one, but just, you know, seeing the Statue of Liberty walk down Fifth Avenue is fun reason enough.
	All right, so it's Dated, I'll have to admit.
	Why?
	The same week this came out, think of this, it was competing with The Last Crusade from Indiana Jones and Batman with Michael Keaton.
	Batman, massively dated.
	This movie, dated.
	Last Crusade, absolutely not dated at all.
	So if there's a week I think this one is a little bit locked in time, but it's a world you'd want to live in.
	It's a fun world.
	All right, you have to grade it out of 10.
	10, what should we call it?
	Proton packs?
	Proton packs out of 10 for a modern audience.
	I will do it for the canon of all movies.
	What rating?
	How many proton packs out of 10 do you give this, Chris?
	Look, I actually probably think everyone's going to like the film.
	I mean, I tend to rate it, like you said, out of, like, how a modern audience would appreciate it.
	But they're probably not going to like it as much as the first one.
	They're not probably going to like it as much as, say, Indiana Jones Last Crusade or Indiana Jones Raiders or something like that.
	So I don't know.
	I think I will give it... I'll be a little bit modest.
	I'll give it an eight.
	Wow, okay, all right.
	I'm gonna do it in the big canon for sheer enjoyability, for those sparks of delight.
	For that alone, I'm gonna give it 7 out of 10.
	Yeah, I think that's a totally legitimate score.
	All right.
	All right, 7 and 8.
	We've had fun.
	We've had a little bit of fun.
	Now we're gonna get serious.
	I think one of the best thrillers I've ever seen.
	Absolutely stunning with an amazing cast.
	Hints of Blade Runner.
	We have one of the very first movies from Kevin Costner and Gene Hackman.
	Eric, hit it.
	No Way Out.
	Chris, are you familiar?
	Not only have I not seen this film, I've never heard of this film.
	Wow, dude, you are in for a treat.
	It is nail-biting, nail-biting.
	It is a thriller about double agents inside the Pentagon with Rachel from Blade Runner, Gene Hackman as the Secretary of Defense, and with Kevin Costner as a naval officer who shares a girlfriend with the Secretary of Defense.
	No more spoilers!
	Next week, No Way Out.
