	People making tips.
	Eliminate taxes on tips for service and hospitality workers.
	Hospitality?
	I'm not sure what hospitality workers are.
	Happy Monday, dear friends.
	You're listening to America First with me, Sebastian Gorka.
	Those two clips are Different in very important ways.
	Number one, June 9th, President Trump said, and has been doing so for several months now, that if he returns to office, he will ban, he will legislate.
	There can be no income tax on tips!
	And what happens, August 10th, the other voice you heard is not my former boss, is not the 45th President of the United States, it's the current Vice President, the selected, not elected, selected nominee of the Democrat Party, Kamala Harris, who suddenly has discovered, oh, what a great idea, that we're not going to tax tips.
	As she has also said, oh, we're going to close the border.
	Unlike the last three and a half years of 20 million illegals led into the country.
	Oh, and she's gonna do what?
	Reverse her ban on fracking.
	Now, let's be clear about what we've witnessed in the last 22 days since that woman was selected undemocratically to represent one of two choices you have on November 5th.
	We should be in a stronger position.
	I'm not going to sugarcoat it.
	The fact that President Trump was shot in the head a month ago, and he's not 20 points ahead of any Democrat.
	I don't care if JFK were resurrected, he should be 20 points ahead of any Democrat nominee, selected or elected.
	It's disturbing to me.
	It's problematic.
	And maybe that has to do with the current leadership of the campaign or with the mainstream legacy-lying media.
	But I'd like us to calm down for a moment.
	Not to get complacent.
	This is going to be an uphill battle for the next 86 days.
	It's going to be a fight for our lives, for the future of the Republic, for the fabric of that which we recognize as the United States of America.
	But let's just focus on one metric.
	And I give full credit to the way I'm going to express this, because it comes from a tweet.
	Hey guys, are you excited?
	Eric, are you excited that President Trump is back on Twitter and he's going to be interviewed live with no holds barred by Elon Musk at 8pm Eastern today?
	Are you just moderately excited?
	Very.
	I'm trying so hard to contain my excitement.
	It will be the biggest space in Twitter history.
	This is going to be how you do a campaign event on Twitter, folks.
	And hopefully it won't be as glitchy as Ron DeSantis's, right?
	Hopefully.
	Fingers crossed.
	Knock on wood.
	Look, Elon, it's your platform, so you better be ready, because it's going to be the biggest Twitter space in history.
	It better not crash.
	I'll be listening, and I'm sure most of our listeners will as well.
	Just get a Twitter.
	If you don't have a Twitter account, get one now and make sure you are tracking President Trump's account and Elon Musk's account, because he will be hosting a space, a Twitter space, an X space, a live dialogue this evening.
	And Elon said, no holds barred.
	No questions off the table and it's going to be live.
	Okay, so that's a big deal.
	That's a big deal.
	That will help the president.
	But here's the rub.
	And I said I give full credit to the person who expressed this so perfectly.
	And of course, it's one of our friends.
	It's none other than Rich Barris, who tweeted this maybe yesterday, and I caught it, and I quoted him by name.
	I was on Newsmax already twice today.
	I think I'll be on this evening as well.
	It's one of those news cycles, guys.
	So here it is.
	I don't want anyone To think we've got it in the bag, okay?
	Tucker, stop saying that we've got it in the bag after Butler, Pennsylvania.
	We've got nothing in the bag, because they will lie, steal and cheat.
	But here's the important thing, to give us a little sense of perspective.
	When their candidate is stealing our candidate's policies, they're not winning.
	It's really important.
	Rich Barrister nailed it.
	There's nothing to this day.
	We're 22 days.
	She hasn't given an interview anywhere.
	She spoke extemporaneously once on the tarmac at Andrews Air Force Base for 18 seconds and it was a disastrous usual word salad.
	She hasn't given a substantive interview or gone off teleprompter once.
	In three weeks plus a day.
	And her website has no... Can you think?
	Look, this isn't the local, you know, county dog catcher she's running for.
	This is the president of the... She is allegedly the vice president.
	Which should make it relatively easy to populate her website With the policies she wants to run on.
	22 days after being selected, Kamala Harris has not put any policies on her website.
	The only thing that did happen on her website in the last 72 hours.
	Which is rather delicious.
	Is they deleted the rank of her running mate Tim Walls.
	Yeah.
	Command Sergeant Major Tim Walls doesn't exist anymore.
	He's just plain old Governor Tim Walls.
	They went in and they deleted his rank because you know what?
	I don't think he's getting out of this one.
	The latest video, the latest audio about him with PTSD and he served in OEF and Afghanistan this and Bagram that, I think they've got to pitch him before the DNC convention.
	But the fact that she has no policies 22 days in, so what does she do?
	She steals our nominees, our candidates' policies.
	Means what?
	But nothing!
	It's a will-o'-the-wisp!
	It's a cloud!
	It's intangible!
	It's just a campaign with no content!
	Now that's a great sign that they're stealing from our guy.
	However, we have arrayed against us the might of the mainstream lying legacy media.
	And we have at least, well, Well, shall we say, 60 million indoctrinated lemmings who would vote for a sack of potatoes if it had the letter D after its name?
	So that is the challenge.
	But here's my advice.
	Forget about policies in the strategic federal sense.
	The campaign needs to talk about only three things, and they're all kitchen table issues.
	And they're all quality of life issues, really, okay?
	The economy, illegals, and crime.
	If for the next 86 days, President Trump and his speechwriters, his surrogates, J.D., if we talk about open borders, the thing that got him elected in 2016, which is now worse than it has ever been in human history, When it comes to a first world nation, the borders, the attendant crime, the insanity of the crime in America, which is linked of course to the borders, whether it's Lake and Riley murdered, whether it's Jocelyn Noongaray, 12 years old, raped and then murdered, whether it's Rachel Marin, on and on and on and on.
	And then lastly, The economy.
	Just the cost of a loaf of bread and a pound of bacon.
	Forget everything else, Team Trump.
	The border.
	Crime.
	And the economy.
	Again and again.
	Wash.
	Rinse.
	Repeat.
	Wash.
	Rinse.
	Repeat.

	Switching on not taxing tips?
	Is that going to save her campaign?
	Let's ask the man who knows a thing or two about the American economy.
	He's the author of seminal works, including Trumponomics, Inside the America First Plan to Revive Our Economy, and Govzilla, How the Relentless Growth of Government is Devouring Our Economy and Our Freedom.
	From the Heritage Foundation, the one and only Stephen Moore.
	Stephen, welcome back to America First.
	Hi, Sebastian.
	By the way, I'm excited to tell you I have a new book coming out with Arthur Laffer in about 30 days called The Trump Economic Miracle, about how Trump saved the economy once and how he's going to save it again.
	So we're very excited about that.
	And I want to come on your show when that book comes out.
	Let's do it with the co-author of the eponymous Laugh-A-Curve.
	Absolutely.
	Let's do it.
	Okay.
	First, let's talk about, you know, of course she's stealing the ideas from President Trump because they're great ideas, but talk to us about this thing, the practicality of taxing or not taxing tips.
	What's the reality with regards to that, Stephen, and how significant an idea is it?
	First of all, I'm a big fan of this idea, and I asked Donald Trump about three or four weeks ago how he came up with the idea, and he said, well, a waitress told him about it.
	And, you know, he talks to real Americans.
	I don't think it's been a long time since Kamala Harris has talked to a real American.
	But what I like about the idea, I don't know, Sebastian, have you ever worked for tips?
	I never worked in the service industry because I don't have the patience.
	I moved furniture every summer in college, and I got very large forearms, but there's no tipping in furniture removal.
	Well, my first job when I was 18 years old was parking cars.
	It was like ballet, and we made all our money on tips.
	This was back in the mid-80s.
	If you got $40 or $50 a night in tips, that was a big, big deal.
	That was when I was on $40 or $50 of a lot of money.
	But I'm in favor of the tip economy.
	You know why, Sebastian?
	The better job you do, the more money you make.
	It's a pay for performance.
	And, you know, the left hates that idea, by the way.
	But I said when Trump came out with this idea, you know, I did a lot of interviews on it.
	And I said that all my Democratic friends were so envious.
	They said, why didn't we think of this idea?
	Well, guess what?
	Now Kamala Harris is trying to Claim it as her idea.
	She had just three weeks ago trashed the idea, now she's for it.
	Have you noticed she flip-flops on about every issue?
	Yeah.
	Yeah, it's simply... Let's play, this is Bernie Sanders has the explanation as to why she's doing a 180 in just the first three weeks of her campaign.
	He said, the socialist on CNN says the quiet part out loud.
	Cut aid.
	Just talking about some of the policies that you care most about, she has reversed herself on some, like Medicare for All, on some parts of immigration policy, fracking.
	Does that give you cause for concern?
	Look, she has to run her campaign, and I'm sure she is talking to all kinds of people to come up with an agenda that will lead to victory in November.
	So she's reversing her position, Stephen, because she wants to win.
	I mean, that's the quintessence of a politician you can't trust.
	It is.
	And I hope, look, I hope every American, we have to play that clip.
	I had not heard that, Sebastian.
	So thank you for playing that.
	But what it tells you is these people are lying through their teeth.
	You know, of course, she's a socialist.
	Of course, she wants the Green New Deal.
	Of course, she wants Medicare for All.
	Of course, she wants reparations payments.
	Of course, she wants to get rid of the filibuster.
	Of course she wants to pack the Supreme Court.
	She just is lying about it.
	And I guarantee you, if, God forbid, she were to win sometime in probably February of 2025, she'd just say, oh, I've switched back to my old position.
	So this is a chameleon.
	She changes with the winds.
	And I'm here to tell you when you have, you know, you have to do a lot of work to get to the left of Bernie Sanders.
	But, you know, her voting records when she was in the Senate was to the left of Bernie Sanders.
	So that gives you a sense of her overall guiding philosophy is very socialistic.
	And the idea, and I want to talk, I want to get a real inside take on what true inflation is in the next segment with you, Stephen, because I don't buy the official pronouncements on inflation.
	This idea that she said at her campaign event, she said, and I'm going to tackle the cost of living and inflation.
	Stephen, I thought she was part of the Biden administration.
	Did I miss something?
	Yeah.
	You know what, Sebastian?
	I mean, I kind of hate to say this, but if the American people are dumb enough to fall for that, then they probably deserve Kamala Harris.
	I mean, she has been there for 1,250 days.
	They ran the inflation rate up from one and a half to nine percent.
	It's still over three percent.
	And the average has been six and a half percent.
	Everything's 20 to 25 to 30 percent more expensive.
	And she says she's the one who's got a plan to deal with inflation.
	And she says that if Trump is elected, he's going to cause inflation.
	Wait a minute.
	In the four years he was elected president, do you know what the overall inflation rate was per year?
	You tell us. 1.9%.
	1.9 percent.
	You know, that was below, that's below the amount the Fed wants.
	The Fed's, you know, target range is 2.
	We were below what the Fed wants.
	So they came in and moved the inflation rate from 1.5 to 9 percent, and they say Trump
	is the one who's going to cause inflation?
	That's the stupidest thing I've ever heard.
	Yeah, the trouble is a lot of people are indoctrinated, so we need to bang that drum.
	The seminal works that help you understand what the President, the 45th and God willing the 47th President of the United States, if we do our part, is all about is Trump Anonymics with Art Laffer and also Galvezilla, how the relentless growth of government is devouring our economy and our freedom.
	How bad is the economy?
	We'll find out momentarily.

	Katie's brand new book with Mike Gonzalez, Next Gen Marxism, what it is and how to combat it.
	Get it today, if only for the final chapter on what it's going to take to defeat them.
	That's Katie Gorka and Mike Gonzalez, Next Gen Marxism, what it is and how to combat it.
	We'll be back with Stephen Moore after these messages.
	About you know, really how bad is the inflation, right?
	How bad is the economy?
	Let's just get, you know, cut through all the garbage and the propaganda.
	I didn't see the book yet on Amazon.
	Is it not available for pre-order yet?
	Not yet.
	We just literally sent it into the publisher.
	They're going to race it out and it's going to be probably in about two weeks, you'll see it.
	But it's not.
	It's going to be our target date is September 15.
	Give me the title again.
	I guess who came up with this title, by the way?
	I don't know.
	Take a wild guess.
	Give me the title again.
	The Trump Economic Miracle.
	The Trump Economic Miracle.
	Maybe President Trump?
	Yes!
	We were going to call it Trump Economics 2.0.
	He said he didn't like that.
	He said call it the Trump Economic Miracle.
	Much better.
	Much better.
	Where's Art Based?
	Is he in New York?
	Trump?
	No, no, no.
	Art.
	Oh, Laffer.
	No, he lives in Nashville, Tennessee.
	No income tax there.
	Of course.
	Of course.
	That makes sense.
	He used to live in California.
	He used to live in Rancho Santa Fe, which is one of the most beautiful places on earth, and the taxes finally got to him and he finally moved.
	Makes sense.
	I mean, how do you ruin a place like California?
	God.
	I know.
	I know.
	I mean, I think, Sebastian, that really has to be one of the big Republican attacks for three months now.
	The Kamala Harris wants to turn America into California, and she does.
	Yeah.
	No, the trouble is, as far as I'm concerned, is that, you know, there's nothing we can say to, you know, Democrats, because they'd vote for, you know, a skeleton if it had a D. But they like the fact she's a socialist.
	Right.
	The message has to be tailored specifically to independents, to people who don't normally vote, and to the middle.
	And I think, you know, I did the whole monologue today on just focus on three things, you know, the things that are pissing people off the most.
	Open borders, crime and the state of the economy.
	It really doesn't have to be more complicated than that.
	Yeah.
	Yep.
	Right.
	I agree with that.
	I mean, I thought I was talking to some of the couple of major pollsters and they were saying that they've never seen the gender gap as big as it is right now.
	Yeah.
	And that means we have to tailor this message to women who do the grocery shopping and who buy this often.
	Right.
	Hold on.
	Sorry.
	Who do you... Oops.
	Where'd he go?
	Hold on.
	Let me get rid of that.
	Hold on a minute.
	Who are the posters you like?
	Can you set it to do not disturb?
	Yeah.
	Yeah.
	I'm doing that right now.
	Great.
	Okay.
	I'm back.
	Hang on, we've got to redo it.
	30 seconds.
	Come in with 15.
	Can you see me?
	Can you see me now?
	Do the two-shot guys.
	Frame it up.
	Okay, a little bit to your left.
	No, you move.
	You move a little bit to your left.
	Perfect.
	All right, stay there.
	Come in with 15.
	15 I'll do my We got some additional policy proposals this past weekend.
	You know, one on exempting tips from taxes, federal taxes.
	Some more specific contours around Harris's border policy, if she were to become president.
	Not just signing that very strong enforcement bill, but also creating more pathways to citizenship.
	And so it's like a both and, not an either or, when it comes to enforcement and immigration.
	So, look, those are the things people want to see, and I just, I don't think Donald Trump can compete with those.
	No, we can't compete with those.
	Of course not, you know, giving amnesty to illegals.
	Why would you want to compete with that?
	She said it out loud.
	That was Simone Sanders on MSNBC.
	A pathway to citizenship.
	That's called amnesty in English.
	If you enjoy America First, support our good friend Mike Lindell.
	He's a friend of the president and the left detests him.
	They've been trying to cancel him from the get-go.
	Why?
	Because he loves America.

	We're back with Stephen Moore, the author of Tramponomics and Galvazilla, and imminently, a wonderfully entitled book, The Trump economic miracle with Art Laffer will be out momentarily.
	We'll have him on the show to discuss that when it is available for pre-order.
	Stephen, help me out here because you are the expert.
	You're the only economist I know who actually makes talking about economics interesting.
	But let's cut to the chase here.
	The officially inflation figures.
	I might as well be reading Pravda or Izvestia or Tass from the Cold War.
	You talk to Americans, especially kids or people at the bottom of the wage-earning ladder.
	You talk to business owners, people who have to buy raw materials, people who work in construction.
	And I'm sorry, Stephen, we're talking about real cost of living.
	At least 30 or 40 percent inflation.
	I look at mortgages, the average mortgage, you know, a $900 mortgage has gone up to $1,700.
	That's a 90, 100 percent increase.
	So who's fudging the statistics?
	What's going on here?
	Well, I don't think the government is fudging the statistics, but I agree with you that, you know, when you look at the cost of computers are down, the cost of telecommunications are down, Those kinds of things.
	But the things that you have to buy, the essentials, the things that you have to put on the kitchen table, the groceries, the things that you have to pay a rent, you have to pay a mortgage, you have to pay your insurance bills.
	Those kinds of things.
	Of course, gasoline and your electric utility.
	Those are up by my measure, about 25 to 30 percent.
	And so I agree with you.
	This is why people are so angry about the price rise.
	Now, the good news is the rate, the rate of inflation has come down.
	But prices are still rising at about 3 to 4 percent.
	That means that everything that you buy is about 25 percent more expensive today than it was when Biden left office.
	That's the worst inflation record since Jimmy Carter was in office.
	And then Kamala says she has a plan.
	She has a plan to deal with this.
	Well, if they have a plan, why don't they come up with it now?
	Why do we have to wait 100 days for that when people are suffering?
	And what about the reality, the shocking figure that I don't think is reflected in the developed world or amongst our European allies and partners, that the average American home, the average American family cannot afford an emergency of $500.
	I mean, that's a horrific statistic, Stephen.
	It is.
	So look at the credit card debt.
	The credit card debt just keeps going up and up and up.
	So what Americans are trying to do is keep their living standard, their normal living standard, and, you know, continue to buy the things that they've always bought.
	But the only way they can do that, because wages have fallen so far behind, you know, what the price of things is, they have to borrow more.
	And so, you know, we're borrowing, we're all doing this.
	We're all, you know, we do this in the Morehouse.
	So we, we borrow more on our credit card to pay because everything is so damn expensive.
	And, and, you know, what we're trying to figure out, well, are we gonna have to cut back?
	You know, people a lot of people are taking a vacation this summer.
	They just can't afford it.
	I mean, my God, you can't even if you're a family of four and you go to McDonald's.
	It's gonna cost you $50!
	I mean, people can't even afford to go to McDonald's anymore, Sebastian!
	Yeah, yeah.
	I'm gonna have to know where that McDonald's is.
	I don't think you can get a family of four.
	I don't think you can get away with less than $60, $65.
	In the meantime, we can't wait for you and Art Laffer's new book to come out for pre-order, The Trump Economic Miracle.
	In the meantime, Trumponomics and Govzilla are your handbooks for how President Trump did what he did.
	And what we have to do if, God willing, we do our part and President Trump is re-elected.

	Okay.
	The... Oh, you mean the audio-only ones?
	Yeah.
	Okay.
	Alright, let's do the 60-second one.
	Ready, Alex?
	The coming presidential election is a very important one.
	Impeachment and conviction of fake news.
	America first.
	Bit of Vanessa Paradis, that takes me back.
	Hey, Mr. G, are you good at errands?
	Do you let things wait a long time, or are you like, chop chop, I got stuff to do?
	I am terrible at running errands.
	No way!
	That shocks me!
	I thought as a man from the private sector, you'd be efficient.
	So here's my little confession.
	I had a pair of pants I bought online, and they were just not the right size.
	And I had them sitting at home for like six months.
	I finally found a store near my home.
	Yesterday they're open.
	I go in and say, can I exchange these for the right size?
	I tried the 38s.
	Too big.
	I'm down to the 36s.
	And I bought two pairs!
	I'm so excited!
	Two pairs of new pants.
	Why?
	Because of my PhD weight loss.
	Guys, I'm six foot three and I'm wearing size 36s.
	Do you know how cool that is?
	It's one of the most important things you can do.
	Don't do the injections and the chemical dependency.
	Try this amazing system that Katie and I have lost so much weight with.
	Five protein-rich meals a day that burn the fat.
	Call them up.
	It's such a great team.
	That's 864-644-1900, myphdweightloss.com.
	That's 864-644-1900, myphdweightloss.com.
	All right, we never have enough time to talk to our next buddy, because the news cycle, it's back to our days in the Trump White House.
	It's insane.
	We're going to try and squeeze in three stories in the next seven minutes.
	He is the founder, the editor-in-chief of that superlative justthenews.com website.
	John Solomon, happy Monday.
	Happy Monday, Seb.
	Good to be with you.
	All right, we have to talk about the FBI special visa for the Iranian connected assassin or attempted assassin for President Trump.
	Act Blue, hotting up.
	But first, let's talk about Foreign involvement in campaign shenanigans.
	You covered the Russia collusion hoax assiduously for the last eight years.
	Your take, tell us what we need to know with regards to the leak from the Trump campaign of documents, internal documents, and some connection to a foreign entity, John?
	That's right.
	The four-letter word, Iran.
	Iran is behind this attack.
	According to law enforcement officials I talked to, Trump's campaign has also been told it was Iran.
	It began with word from Microsoft late last week that there had been a presidential candidate whose systems had been hacked.
	And then on Saturday, a confirmation that it was Trump's campaign and that it was J.D.
	Vance's opposition research.
	Every campaign does research on its own people so they know what to be prepared for.
	And that got leaked out.
	Yes, Iran is putting its finger on the thumb of this election on multiple ways.
	We know for certain that in the 2020 election, they assumed some online personalities and hacked into a voter database.
	That's in 2020.
	We didn't learn about that for a whole year later.
	But since that time, those countermeasures, that sort of digital advocacy against Trump, it has picked up.
	Then we know from the indictment last week that Iran sent a Pakistani man here to assassinate President Trump as part of a plot.
	And then we now know that they hacked President Trump's campaign documents.
	So Iran very much Putting its finger on the scales here for the election.
	And Iran that got 70 billion dollars from Joe Biden.
	It wouldn't have had the money to do all this if the sanctions had been fully enforced that Trump had put in place.
	But Joe Biden has allowed 70 billion dollars of oil and sanctions relief to flow there.
	And now Iran has the ability to not only influence our election but blow up the Middle East.
	Yeah, and let's be clear, when we were in the White House, by the end of the first administration of President Trump, Iran was on its knees.
	The stock market in Iran had lost 50% of its value, the national stock market.
	We're talking to John Solomon.
	Jay Solomon reports on Twitter, justthenews.com.
	Tell us about this rather serious wrinkle with that Pakistani national linked to Iran who was planning some kind of an assassination plot against President Trump.
	What's his About a special visa, John?
	Yes, scratch your head on this one.
	This is a crazy one.
	So we've known for three years that Iran has put FATWAs out essentially to try to assassinate former President Bush and former President Trump and some of former President Trump's advisors like Mike Pompeo and others.
	That's in retaliation for the killing of Soleimani, the terrorist general that Trump took out.
	So you would think that the FBI would be on its tip-top shape, making sure that nobody with the potential to come here and do harm would be kept out of the country, but you'd be wrong.
	In April, the man, a guy named Merchant, Ashi Merchant, was allowed into the United States.
	He was stopped by Customs and Border Patrol, like they should have, because he was on the terrorist watch list, he didn't have a legal visa to enter the country.
	They brought the FBI Joint Terrorism Task Force to the location.
	They interviewed him.
	They found him polite and cooperative.
	But they also found him on the terrorist watch list and having recently traveled to Iran.
	And instead of turning him away, as the law requires, the FBI gave him what's known as a privileged visa.
	Basically declaring that letting him into the country would pay great value to the United States.
	It was a great significant benefit.
	Visa is what it's called.
	And they let this guy wander around the country for three months as he was arranging for assassins
	to kill or what he thought were assassins to kill Trump and other folks.
	They rolled him up just as he was planning to leave the country.
	A lot of people saying I can't find any significant public benefit for letting an Iranian assassin
	into the country.
	Even if you're trying to solve a crime, it's just too risky.
	So is there any official statement from the FBI why they let this guy in?
	No, other than the fact that they learned from an informant that he was trying to assassinate
	people after he got here.
	And also that the assassinations would begin if he was leasing the country.
	So that's when they arrest him.
	But no more comment than that.
	They point us to the actual narrative.
	But I actually saw the entry documents, the visa entry documents.
	There's not any doubt what happened.
	Wow, absolutely shocking.
	All right, we've only got 60 seconds left.
	I'm just going to ask you a yes or no question.
	I had Chairman Stile on my show yesterday on Newsmax.
	The ActBlue donation issue that maybe foreign entities are fraudulently using the Democrat website to funnel money into the Democrat Party.
	John, this issue cannot be swept under the rug.
	This is going to get bigger and bigger, is it not?
	That is.
	You've got three AGs, Congress, both looking at it.
	A very big development.
	Late last week, Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton announced that ActBlue will finally start using the CVV number to prevent fraud.
	But the real question is, how much fraud, how much foreign money may have flown in to the country before they started doing that?
	That's what Brian Stiles is looking at right now.
	It's a big deal.
	It could be as big as the 1990s China fundraising scandal for the Bill Clinton campaign.
	Which actually saw people go to prison.
	Chinese nationals who were funding the Clinton campaign.
	Follow this man.
	The website is justthenews.com.
	The show every evening on RAV is justthenews, not noise.
	And at jsolomonreports on Twitter.

	Um...

	That's it.
	That's a mind-blowing story.
	We did everything for Casio, right?
	Yes.
	Right, let's come in with something short.
	T-T-T-T-T... Um... What's... Oh, maybe ten?
	What's ten?
	The Keith Allison.

	Uh... Pelosi's not speaking.
	Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
	Come in with that.
	What was that?
	Five, I think.
	Five, yeah, come in with that.
	That's good.
	Oh, no, save that for Lotta.
	That's good for Lotta.
	Never mind.
	What about... Come in with... What about Biden saying he was pushed out?
	It's 30 seconds.
	No, that's good for Lotta too.
	Oh, 12, 12, 12, 12.
	That's good.
	12, 12, 12.
	Oh, twelve, twelve, twelve, twelve, that's good. Twelve, twelve, twelve. Yep. Skrubruh.
	I will tell you that I heard, I know you heard, I know so
	many people heard real excitement about another.
	Thank you.
	woman who was running for president. Another woman that was younger and also had a diverse
	background and that was Nikki Haley. I can't count the number of people I heard talking
	about how excited they were.
	they were about Nikki Haley, whether they were Republicans, Independents, Democrats.
	I heard a lot of Democrats talking about Nikki Haley being excited about her.
	Jeff, what's the one problem with that?
	I've heard a lot of Democrats excited about Nikki Haley.
	Did I miss something there about what she says she is, what party she belongs to?
	That's exactly the part, yeah.
	I love how he throws that in there.
	That is just...
	It's too good.
	It's too good.
	All right, we'll get to your calls in a second.
	But first, Katie and Jen has a superb podcast.
	Every week they interview real, real fighters.
	You need to check it out.
	It's exploding on YouTube.
	Wherever you get your podcasts, it's free.
	The Happy Women podcast.
	Get it today.
	The Happy Women podcast.
	Katie Gawker and Jennifer Horne.
	And as you're listening, if you're a guy, Well, you can be a gal as well.
	You can be smoking one of our George Washington Liberty Dr. G cigars.
	I've been looking for years for a cigar worthy of our website.
	It has arrived.
	SebGorkerStore.com for your George Washington Liberty Dr. G cigars.
	SebGorkerStore.com.
	Let's go to Sean in New York City!
	Dr. Gorka, stolen valor was the buzzword over the last week or so, and I just want to elaborate on that.
	I think that diversity, equity, and inclusion is the very definition of stolen valor.
	We need to expand on that.
	This is a woman who did not even get 1% of the vote in the Democratic primary.
	No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
	Fake news.
	Sean, don't tell little lies on my show.
	She got 2%, Sean.
	Oh, I'm sorry.
	I'm sorry.
	2%.
	Wow, that's great.
	Let me add to this, okay?
	So, when you turn on the sports, look, let's say, for example, basketball, NFL, we don't see any diversity, equity, and inclusion.
	We see people who deserve to be out there.
	They're the best at what they do.
	But don't you think it would be better to have, like, 5'2 Eskimos playing basketball?
	I mean, are you such a bigot, Sean?
	I think… The Oompa Loompas!
	We need Oompa Loompas in the NBA!
	It'd be a great comedy show.
	Not as good as the Harlem Globetroppers.
	Do you like the… I love the Harlem Globetroppers, Sean.
	What about you?
	I thought they were amazing.
	But I have to tell you, as much as I'm opposed to communism, the one thing where I'll give them their due is I saw the Soviet Union play hockey.
	Oh, wow.
	And they were unbelievable.
	They were brilliant.
	Brutal.
	Totally brutal.
	Yes, this is true.
	And especially their female shop putters with their very deep voices.
	All right, Sean, you've cheered me up.
	Stay on the line.
	Let's give Sean one of our vote for Kamala, get four more years of Biden t-shirts.
	You cheered me up.
	We need more calls from New York City.
	Good stuff, Sean.

	good. All right, ready? Yeah.

	You You
	Here's looking at you, Snowflake.
	America first.
	Well, I recognize that voice.
	Who is that?
	Jeff, who did that live?
	It's a bloody expensive guy.
	Who was that?
	That's our voiceover guy, the official one.
	The official one.
	I can't remember his name.
	Can you try and find out his name?
	Because we should get him back to record some stuff.
	Can you see if he's available today?
	Next segment.
	That'd be great!
	If you could do that, that'd be really impressive.
	In the meantime, I got some breaking news.
	GG refers to what?
	A movie?
	Or Greg Gutfeld?
	Or the special band that has a special message for Mr. G?
	Happy birthday to you!
	Happy birthday to you!
	Happy birthday dear Daddy!
	Happy birthday to you!
	Hey, let's go to Trump!
	Is that my kids?
	That is.
	GG.
	Those are your kids.
	Oh, that was good.
	How'd you get that?
	Yeah, I don't reveal my sources.
	It's just somebody I know.
	It's just somebody I know.
	I like that.
	Happy birthday, Mr. G!
	Thank you.
	All right, he's working on his birthday.
	What a tough guy he is.
	Let's go to another GG, Greg Gutfeld.
	This was... What was this, Jeff?
	Was this Thursday or Friday?
	This was Friday.
	Okay, this was Friday on The Five.
	And you know when somebody else just expresses something So perfectly, that you've been wanting to explain in this way, and they just step into that vacuum.
	This is what Greg did.
	So he's one of the few guys, good guys, left at Fox, and he explained why Donald Trump... I think we just have to post this video, or this segment, and the title is, Donald Trump.
	With express comparison, of course, to Biden and Kamala.
	But Greg's a comedian.
	He's a show host.
	He's not a philosopher.
	He's not a political scientist.
	And that's why this is all the more valuable.
	Good job, Greg.
	Play it.
	I understand Harold's point about discipline, but you can't expect a political experience from somebody who is never going to be a politician.
	And Trump is never going to be a politician.
	He wasn't raised as one.
	He doesn't act like one.
	He did a 70 minute relentless Question and answer period.
	What should be gained from that?
	Like when you walk away from that, you can go, God, I wish you would reign that in.
	But the thing is, the one thing that you saw, let's say with the five, we have millions of viewers.
	A lot of them don't like Trump and a lot of them are Democrats.
	So they're listening to me tell you why this matters.
	He's engaged.
	And that's really necessary right now.
	All of the pistons are working.
	He was there for 70 minutes.
	He answered every question.
	You can tell that he's going to be like that with everything.
	Because he is.
	There's not that phony engagement of the establishment politician where they say exactly enough.
	It's neat and it's tidy and it's almost impossible to remember what they said after they said it.
	Politicians are trained to say nothing.
	You know, and he can't do that.
	He never got that training.
	So I think when you're watching vintage Trump, you have to realize that this is how he's going to be in meetings with people who aren't friendly to the United States or people who want something from America and we demand scrutiny and reciprocity.
	So just replace the media.
	With all those people.
	He's not a figurehead.
	So if you're looking at me, but I can't stand.
	He's not a figurehead.
	He's an agent.
	He's your agent.
	He's America's lawyer.
	He's in the room there to represent his client, America.
	You know, he's not interested in impressing the other people in the room.
	I want an agent Or a lawyer with that relentless energy that makes people upset and the country needs that.
	We've had four years of perk hungry elites who are there for the pomp and not for the people.
	So it's kind of you have to look at this stuff as a necessity that this guy is going to be that way in a room with people that have been screwing us over forever.
	Do you want him or do you want Kamala?
	Who do you want in that room?
	You want the guy that nobody likes because they don't like him for a reason.
	Perfect.
	Absolutely perfect.
	So I don't talk about this because I hate the place but I had a two-year fellowship to Harvard and after one year there I couldn't get out of there fast enough and so I came to this place because I was into national security.
	I came to DC and I got an internship and I was living and working in the swamp.
	This was 1999 and I realized after doing the circuit for a couple of weeks, going to the conferences and the receptions, that this city is full of fakers.
	Just Janus-faced, two-faced fakers.
	I coined the term, I was a newbie, I was naive, I coined the term the Washington Handshake.
	You'd go into a room, some kind of reception, diplomatic function or conference, and you'd introduce yourself to the first person and shake their hand.
	And as you were shaking their hand, they were already looking over your shoulder, scanning the room to see who else is in there more important than you that they have to go and talk to.
	That's DC.
	It's an awful place.
	I mean, if you're into politics, it's fascinating, but it's an awful place.
	When I was called out by somebody called Corey Lewandowski in June of 2015 and asked if I would meet Candidate Trump, I thought, what, the guy from reality TV?
	Him?
	Because Candidate Trump wanted to prep for the fall GOP primary debate on national security, and they wanted somebody to help him.
	And I said, OK.
	And so they flew me to New York, and I went to Trump Tower.
	And I sat down for the first time with this man who would end up being my boss.
	It was just me, the president on the other side of his desk, and Corey in the corner.
	His style was very different from mine.
	You know, I was born in the UK, went to a private school, debate club, all of that stuff, Latin class, you name it.
	But you know why after that 40-minute discussion it was very easy to say yes to becoming his advisor?
	Because there was nothing two-faced about him.
	None of that Janice-face, D.C.
	slimebag way of behaving.
	I realized behind closed doors were just me and Corey.
	He was exactly the same as he was on The Apprentice, coming down the escalators, in a stadium of 50,000 people.
	What you saw was what you got because he wasn't a politician then and he's not a politician today, despite having served as president.
	This is the great Paradox of the last eight years.
	That man was elected by 63 million Americans to be the most powerful politician in the world, and he's still not a politician.
	The only thing that drives him is love of country, is patriotism, and wanting to fix this nation from those, as Greg said, who have screwed it over for 60 years on both sides of the aisle.
	He's never going to change.
	He's going to be back on Twitter today.
	Don't say, no more mean tweets, because you're not going to change a guy in his seventies.
	And we voted for him because of his genuine authenticity and love of country.
	Within minutes of talking to him in the midst of this conversation, which he interrupted and said, I like this guy, Corey, let's hire him.
	That's genuine.
	I realized this man hates political correctness and he loves America.
	And that's why Kamala Harris, the Democrats, are having to steal his platform now.
	Oh, she's the secure border candidate now.
	She's the no tax on tips.
	She's the pro-fracking candidate.
	When you're stealing our guys' policies, you're not winning.
	But people need to understand, you can't flip-flop unless you're a liar.
	Unless there is not one authentic bone in your body.
	Whether you like his style or not is utterly, dandibly irrelevant.
	Utterly irrelevant.
	The question is, is he real and does he love America?
	And the answer is a big fat yes to both of those.
	Now you know that and I know that.
	But our job for the next 86 days is to convince anyone who will listen, we don't need another politician.
	Irrespective of what's between their legs, the power of their skin, we don't need another politician.
	We need Donald Trump back in the White House as President.

	Hi, friend. How are you?
	Good, good, good, good.
	White has to be Trump.
	Yes.
	I got lots of cuts for you to react to, alright?
	All right, I'm going to use 13 here.
	I haven't decided on the order yet.
	You want Pelosi as well?
	Yeah, 2, 5, 13.
	2, 5, 13.
	Okay.
	We did 16, right?
	16.
	Yes, we did at the top of the show.
	Okay, good.
	All right, then I might use 19 as well.
	Yes.
	Okay.
	You got a moment, I need a title for more as well.
	For more?
	Yeah.
	Um...
	The truth about the Harris-Biden economy.
	Thank you.
	Yep.
	2, 5, 15, 19.
	2515 19 or 2513 19.
	We did hang up.
	We haven't used five, right?
	Five, not yet.
	All right, then come in with two.
	Come in with two.
	Then I'll tee up... Then I'll tee up nine after I do Truth Warriors.
	Okay, come in with two, Truth Warriors, then tee up nine.
	All right.
	What's up?
	I have his AFPI affiliation for the Chiron.
	Is that right?
	Chief Communications Officer?
	Yeah, if we're gonna talk politics, just drop AFPI.
	Okay, then drop that.
	And then what do you want instead?
	You can just go Director of Strategic Communications, Trump 2020.
	Okay, Director of Strategic Communications, Trump 2020.
	Yes.
	And then drop the America First URL.
	Yep, one second.
	Yeah, the IRS.
	There we go.
	Good.
	Perfect.
	All right.
	80 seconds.
	80 seconds.
	Okay.
	I'm going to ask you to react to my take, right?
	That if you're stealing his things, it's not a good sign for them.
	No.
	All right.
	Good.
	you you
	Thank you.
	Look, the polls we had showed that it was a neck-and-neck race.
	It would have been down the wire.
	But what happened was, a number of my Democratic colleagues in the House and Senate thought that I was going to hurt them in the races.
	And I was concerned if I stayed in the race, that would be the topic.
	You'd be interviewing me about why did Nancy Pelosi say, why did someone And I thought it'd be a real distraction.
	Why is he talking so slowly?
	Hey, Jeff, did you watch that interview with the guy who's faking to be the president?
	Yes, I did.
	And what did you say about it?
	It was recorded, right?
	Yeah, there's so many cuts you almost get dizzy watching it.
	I mean, it's every three seconds they're cutting.
	Because they're working for him?
	Yeah, first of all, and he came off terrible.
	If they didn't cut it, I can't imagine how bad it was.
	And I don't get it.
	Why, if the last three and a half years were so good, why is he going to hurt other candidates in the election?
	Yeah, he still hasn't really figured that part out yet.
	He acts like that's a great explanation.
	It makes zero sense.
	Wait till you hear what Sarah Carter said about the woman who got rid of Joe Biden.
	But first, Salem has listened to your plea and has responded with what you have been waiting for for so many years.

	Sarah Carter, haven't seen her in a while.
	She had a new take on Nancy Pelosi and her role in the demise of the Biden presidency.
	We saw with Nancy Pelosi, she is like a true vampire.
	She really is.
	I mean, she had talked about Biden early on.
	I'm with Biden.
	We're with him.
	I'm with Biden-Harris.
	This is a Biden-Harris team.
	All along, she's behind the scenes, like, you know, basically manipulating, sucking the blood right out of the Biden presidency, ready to charge and launch her attack.
	And she did.
	And for those of you not watching, Sarah Carter had a lovely big gold crucifix around her neck just to protect her from Nancy Pelosi.
	Let's talk to the expert on strategic communications, my former colleague in the White House, Mark Lotta, former Director of Strategic Communications with Trump 2020.
	Can I test on you my theory about what Kamala's done in the last few days?
	If they're stealing our candidates' policies, That means they're not winning, Mark.
	Am I crazy or what?
	No, you're absolutely right.
	And think about this.
	You know how many policies are on her website right now?
	Yeah, I know.
	Exactly.
	It's a very round number.
	Right.
	So she doesn't have any policies.
	And the ones she does have from 19 and 20, she's trying to run away from because she knows they're not politically winners.
	So she's taking what she can from Donald Trump.
	Because that's the only thing she's got to run.
	But do they just think, I mean, that people aren't going to notice that we're 22 days in and she's got nothing, she's got no campaign platform.
	Does she think, oh, we don't need anything on the website?
	Well, she ran, I mean, as much as I hated to see it, I mean, you saw all those ads she ran in the Olympics.
	And they were all like, I'm going to make things more affordable.
	Where have you been for three and a half years?
	I'm going to secure the border.
	Have you not been where the borders are?
	I mean, you've been in office for three and a half years.
	The problems are your creation.
	You broke them.
	You don't get to come say, if you put me in the White House, I'll fix them.
	You broke it.
	As to who pushed out Biden, this is a fabulous cut.
	I don't know if she's had a brain aneurysm along with Joe Biden, who's had twice.
	But this is Nancy Pelosi, who seemingly can't speak English anymore.
	Cut five.
	And you said you lose sleep over it.
	And I just was wondering how this has impacted you personally the last couple of weeks.
	Again, his legacy as a preeminent president.
	just a I mean and it's hard to he's right there among the top few I mean
	just he's right there mark I mean, Biden, he's... yes.
	Whatever she's on, they need to cut the dosage in half.
	I mean, what is... I thought this was the strategic mind of the Democrat Party.
	How could you look at the inflation, the border, the wars?
	I mean, you go on and on and on.
	There is nothing that Joe Biden and Kamala Harris have touched that they haven't turned into an epic disaster, and she thinks he belongs on Mount Rushmore.
	I mean, the sad thing is, is that there's people out there watching MSNBC right now that believe it.
	Because it's been told.
	That's what they're told to believe.
	So here's my take.
	If that's the case, which I think sadly you're right on, there's Lemmings, there's our buddy says, Jonathan Gilliam, Sheeple.
	There's Sheeple out there.
	That for Conservatives, we need to speak... Forget the Democrats, right?
	They're just a tribe.
	They'll vote for a sack of potatoes with the letter D on it.
	So we speak to the middle, the undecideds, the independents.
	Is that where this election is going to be won, Mark Lotta?
	Yes, but I do think we can pick off some Democrats.
	Like who?
	Well, I think there's a growing number of people of color.
	I think there's a growing number of labor union members, not the leaders, the people who actually work for a living, that are going, I can't afford gas and groceries.
	I don't like the border.
	I don't like to see the crime in my community.
	What they're doing by abandoning Israel is just wrong.
	So what about Jewish voters after Shapiro?
	Right.
	And so I think we can open up.
	I think, you know, Donald Trump was opening up these doors in 2020 anyway.
	And now Joe Biden and Kamala have kicked it open and are holding it open for people to leave.
	It's up to us to go out there and actually speak with them and talk to them.
	Don't do what Democrats do, which is just come up to them every four years and say, I expect your vote because you're supposed to because your demographics.
	We're going to earn your vote.
	If you ain't voting for her, you ain't black, right?
	That's going to be the new line.
	Right.
	This is Mitch Landrieu, former mayor of New Orleans, who has an unusual take on what's happening in the two campaigns.
	Cut 11!
	Donald John Trump is a confused human being.
	He's having a hard time figuring out what day he is.
	He's so cray-cray right now about her crowds.
	So they have agreed to a debate on September 10th.
	I'm sure the vice president will be open to other debates, but she's not even sure that he's going to show up on September 10th.
	The gaslighting doesn't, it just, it's not good enough.
	President Trump is cray cray.
	He doesn't know what date is because he's obsessing on the size of her crowds.
	They were caught, Mark, this weekend faking photographs of Kamala Harris outside Air Force Two.
	Faking the crowd with AI.
	If somebody's obsessing about crowds, it's not President Trump.
	Well, and they're hiring actors to come to these rallies.
	They're basically... Paying them!
	Paying them.
	They're also paying celebrities to show up to get people that want to come to one of their rallies.
	But this is... We do that all the time in the Trump campaign, right?
	Paying people 20 grand on Instagram to promote our policies, right?
	Yeah.
	Oh, absolutely.
	All the time.
	All the time.
	But I mean, that was the one big difference, though, is that people are going to these rallies to see someone else.
	People come to a Trump rally to see Donald Trump.
	And they stand in line for hours before.
	Correct.
	And to be honest, it doesn't even matter about these rallies or these crowd sizes.
	I mean, for either of them.
	I mean, we've got to actually just win on the message and on the policies.
	I mean, because if you're in the middle and you're undecided, are things going to get cheaper under Kamala Harris?
	We know the answer to that question.

	Okay.
	3 and a half minutes.
	Did you see Keith Ellison's back?
	He's back in the TV, back in doing stuff.
	Keith Ellison.
	Do you remember him?
	Yeah!
	Play cut 10 for Mark. 10.
	Governor Walz moved as quickly as the law would allow, and as the chief law officer of the state, I can tell you that that is true.
	He moved as quickly as he could, and he had to work with local authorities and work with the communication that they sent to him, but he moved quickly.
	He moved so quickly against BLM, you know that?
	Yeah, I mean, it only took him like two or three days and Donald Trump calling him and basically telling him to do it.
	Right.
	To get it done.
	But these are the same people that told us it was mostly peaceful protest.
	Mostly peaceful.
	That's it.
	That's just never gonna get old.
	Thank you, Ali Velshi.
	That's the only thing I could probably ever talk.
	Yeah, the fact that he actually said that is quite stunning.
	Against like the blazing inferno that was behind him.
	Play cut.
	Thank you.
	14.
	Look, one guy served 24 years.
	And lost his hearing, very serious hearing damage, because he was exposed to so much artillery, and had to have a operation that was paid for by the VA, which he's spoken movingly about, because the first time he could wake up and hear his daughter singing.
	Versus J.D.
	Vance, who wrote press releases.
	Unbelievable.
	Does anybody know anything about that guy?
	What's his name?
	Stuart Stevens.
	He says he worked on the Romney campaign.
	Wasn't he?
	Was he a Bush 43?
	Says he's Romney.
	Okay, Romney.
	And he's now Lincoln Project.
	Stuart Stevens.
	Never heard of him.
	Mitt Romney.
	Now Lincoln Project.
	70 seconds.
	What's his background?
	Mississippi.
	You're right.
	George W. Bush media team.
	So a guy who wrote press releases?
	Mm-hmm.
	Oh, and of course he worked in Albania for Prime Minister Salih Beresha.
	I mean, because that's what one does, right?
	If you're a rhino.
	Right.
	Wow.
	...
	you No violence.
	No hate speech.
	Just happy warriors on America First.

	We're back with my former White House colleague, Mark Lotta.
	Follow him at Mark underscore Lotta on Twitter.
	That's Mark with a C underscore Lotta, former director of strategic communications for the Trump 2020 campaign.
	Before we get back to your reaction to certain amusing clips, Mark, are you excited about President Trump tonight and Elon and getting back on Twitter?
	That is amazing.
	I am so looking forward to it.
	Have you seen that the EU sent Elon Musk a warning?
	What?
	Yeah.
	The commissioner, or the head of the EU, wrote Elon Musk a letter, posted it on social media, basically saying that you are under European law to censor and monitor and guard against disinformation during your interview tonight.
	Oh no, I'm not lying.
	I'm not making it up.
	And Elon responded with basically a colorful two-letter...
	That's incredible.
	That's like the Chief of Constabulary in the UK on Friday saying, and if any Americans say something naughty on Twitter, we're going to prosecute and extradite you.
	I guess they forgot 1776, Mark.
	All right.
	And I'm like, who are you to lecture us?
	You know, your freedom is paid for in our blood.
	And don't bother calling us the next time you need us in World War III to protect yourselves from Russia or one of your own neighbors.
	But I loved Elon's response.
	He basically told them where they could go.
	I'm very excited.
	8 p.m.
	Eastern on Twitter on ex-president Trump with Elon Musk.
	And Elon has said nothing out of bounds.
	It's going to be live.
	It's going to be unscripted.
	I will be listening.
	Hopefully it'll be a little smoother than what was it?
	The governor of Florida DeSantis' Twitter space launch.
	That was rather glitchy.
	I think Elon may have things fixed for this evening.
	Before we proceed, I've got to ask you the whole Tim Walz thing.
	I don't think... Maybe I'm naive.
	I don't see myself as a naive individual having served in the Trump administration.
	Tim Walz, can he even make it to the convention?
	Every day there's another, he lied about being in Afghanistan, being in Bagram, carrying a rifle in war.
	Are they just gonna like ignore this stolen valor?
	You know, I'm gonna...
	You know me well enough, Seb, to know that I don't deal with conspiracy theories.
	But I think that this is actually the DNC's long-term plan.
	Because you've got the most radical leftist, even more radical than Bernie Sanders, in Kamala Harris.
	Correct.
	Her voting record is the most.
	Correct.
	Teamed her up with the most radical far-left governor this side of Beijing, and maybe Gavin Newsom.
	A guy who liked to hang out in Beijing, by the way.
	And got married on Tiananmen Square Day, so he could remember it, and took his honeymoon in Beijing.
	Who does that?
	Right.
	But, you put the two most radical leftists out there, and when they get beat, you can basically quiet your radical progressive base and go, we tried it your way, and now shut up and let's move back to the middle and try to win elections.
	Okay, you know the only problem with that theory, Mark?
	There is no normal person in the Democrat Party who represents that.
	If there were Bill Clinton, right, if there was a national figure who's a Democrat who could be the, okay guys, okay crazies, we tried it your way, now we're in charge, we're the adults, maybe.
	Who is that normal person who's a national figure, has any kind of clout, and has a D after their name?
	They're gone!
	You would hope that somebody like, you're thinking that next generation, a Gretchen Whitmer, a Josh Shapiro.
	Gavin Newsom's obviously too far to the left.
	I mean, he's the only thing further left than these guys are Beijing.
	And so maybe one of those, like a Pete Buttigieg even, from the Midwest, the heartland, could come up and try to claim that middle.
	But they're running to the far left.
	I mean, the one thing about Tim Walz is that he's actually done All the crazy stuff she hopes to do.
	She's promising, right.
	Correct.
	And now she's trying to run away from it.
	And she can't.
	One last thing I have to play.
	This is from the current incumbent in the White House.
	Absolutely shocking clip from this totally edited CBS interview.
	This is Joe Biden.
	Cut to six, please, Eric.
	The stakes are that high to you?
	Give me my word.
	I think they're that high.
	Mark my words.
	If he wins this nomination, I mean, excuse me, this election.
	Watch what happens.
	It's a danger.
	He's a genuine danger to American security.
	I guess that's lowering the temperature, saying President Trump is a danger to national security.
	Right, so didn't he just give a speech to turn down the rhetoric?
	I mean, it's just that they've lost their minds.
	They've got nothing to run on.
	They can't run on their record.
	They can't run on his policies.
	She doesn't have policies that she's supporting yet, although she actually does.
	She's just lying to us and hiding it from the American people.
	The only thing they can do is run on fear.
	Fear of Threats to democracy.
	Fear on abortion.
	Fear on what if.
	Because they got nothing left to run on.
	And I don't think it's going to work.
	I think the American people are smarter than that.
	And they will not vote for that.
	It's up to us.
	It's up to us.

	And these are, historians will tell you, the traits of authoritarian dictators throughout history.
	And what we're seeing now is, as you put it, an implosion.
	And this, I believe, is what ultimately was always going to happen.
	Final implosion of Donald Trump.
	I mean, it's like Hitler when Hitler was moving around divisions that didn't exist in the last 10 days of the war in the Führerbunker.
	I mean, he has completely lost.
	It's Kellyanne Conway's ex-husband, right, Eric?
	That is indeed a washed up, not looking too good these days, George Conway.
	And just like Mark Luther said, all they have is fear.
	Right?
	Yep.
	And I love, too, in that word salad, I got that right, he said, Trump is a narcissistic, sociopathic, narcissist, and sociopath.
	Like, talk about trying to reach the minimum word count on your essay there.
	That's incredible.
	Mark Lauder was so right.
	All they have is fear.
	Fear of President Trump and abortion rights.
	They can't talk about real things and, well, it has something to do with their candidate.
	We'll play you a shocking clip from Kamala Harris next that tells you everything you need to know.
	But first, please do your part.
	Don't fund the other side.
	I mean, really, don't they have enough money as it is?
	Why would you give them your money?

	Okay, so, Jeff, Cut 19, it's not Kamala Harris at the same place just repeating stuff, right?
	Nope, it's different places.
	So it's her basically giving the same speech everywhere she goes.
	It's the same 17-minute speech.
	It's the only thing she has done since she's basically been nominated.
	Okay, so here's a... what do we call this?
	Montage of Kamala in different locations giving the same speech.
	Cut 19.
	Oh, it is good to be back in Pennsylvania!
	It really is good to be back in Wisconsin.
	It is so good to be back in Michigan.
	I am clear.
	The path to the White House runs right through this state.
	And listen, I am clear.
	The path to the White House runs right through this state.
	I took on perpetrators of all kinds.
	I took on perpetrators.
	Of all kinds.
	I took on perpetrators of all kinds.
	I know Donald Trump's type.
	I know Donald Trump's type.
	In this campaign, I proudly put my record against his any day of the week.
	In this campaign, I'll tell you, I will proudly put my record against his any day of the week.
	Are you ready to make your voices heard?
	Ready to make your voices heard?
	Are you ready to make your voices heard?
	When we fight, we win!
	Jeff, that's... I mean, that's just amazing.
	But have you noticed the one thing that's different?
	The accent!
	Yes, depending on the location, it's a different accent.
	She changes the accent!
	Yes.
	I mean, talk about a typical politician.
	I mean, should that just be the campaign ad for the next 86 days?
	I like that one.
	I mean, look, think about this, Jeff.
	I have never, ever, and I, look, I don't watch all of them.
	I've watched maybe, I don't know, 85, 90% of the president's rallies and speeches.
	I've never seen President Trump ever modulate his accent anywhere and speak differently from the way he usually speaks.
	Never!
	Even, like, when he'll tell a story, it's like, oh, I remember he did that one two years ago, which is odd, like, he actually repeats the story, but he's probably done 500 speeches in between then.
	But he never, he's never changed his accent because he's in, you know, New Jersey or Atlanta.
	I've never ever seen him do that.
	Or does he, what do you, the other ones that I can't say is they dress for the area.
	I've never seen the guy in a suit or a golf shirt.
	That's the only thing I've ever seen him in in my entire life.
	Yeah it's funny for me he's a kind of role model because the only thing I so the only two things he's ever worn that I've ever seen him wear is a dark suit solid no stripes no pattern and he he usually has a solid tie like I do sometimes a striped tie sometimes when I was on the do you remember Jeff had we already met I don't know if we'd already met.
	Do you remember when I was on Hannity, on a bar stool with President Trump at an event?
	Did you ever remember that?
	I remember that, but we had not met yet.
	We hadn't met.
	And he had a stripy tie on, and I had a stripy tie on, but the only thing he's ever worn apart from that is a golfing shirt, right?
	Is there anything else he's ever worn?
	And the other thing about it, it's pretty much always a white golf shirt.
	That's it.
	I don't even know what he looks like in yellow.
	Oh, and here's something for my old, old topic here, and I don't care if you disagree with me because you're wrong.
	Jeff, have you ever seen him in a suit Wearing a pair of shoes that isn't black and ever wear a pair of shoes that isn't leather-soled.
	Have you ever seen that?
	Never.
	Never.
	Have you ever seen him like these putzes on Capitol Hill?
	The Republicans who wear dark suits with their brown shoes with white plastic soles.
	Have you ever seen that?
	Didn't Jim Acosta do that?
	Didn't you call him out for that one time?
	Yes!
	Yes!
	What the Republicans are doing drives me nuts!
	If President Trump doesn't wear children's shoes with his suits, then we don't have to either, do we Jeff?
	Yes, and you know what the funny thing is?
	That's all he wears, and he still appeals to rural people.
	Because he's real.
	Isn't that incredible?
	Yes.
	Think about that.
	He only wears, and I'm sure it's an Italian suit, I'm sure it's handmade, he only ever wears suits and ties, dress shoes, leather sole, which is the only kind of dress shoe, by the way, by the way, thank you very much.
	I'll get mine at Johnson and Murphy, they're very good.
	All loaks from the UK, little bit pricey, but they last forever.
	But never ever tailors his dress to do what?
	To pander to his audience.
	Because he doesn't need to pander.
	Because he's real.
	I like that.
	That was fun.
	That was a little bit different from what we usually talk about.
	The sartorial analysis of American politics.
	We can do everything here on America First.
	Why?
	Because we're new and improved.
	Thanks to Dr. Ashley Lucas and her amazing team.
	It's Dr. G Mark II.
	And Jeff's on his way.
	He's kind of halfway.
	He's like Jeff 1.5.
	He's on his way to Mark II.
	Why?
	Because we're both on the MyPhD Weight Loss Program.
	I lost 42 pounds, as I told you.
	I'm down to 36 in my blue jeans.
	I bought another pair yesterday.
	It feels amazing.
	I'm 6'3", 36 waist.

	That is still why one of my favorite Trump stories ever is from the Iowa State Fair in 2016.
	Remember, like, Rubio and Cruz, they're all wearing their front and whatever, and then he just flies in in his private helicopter, full suit and tie and everything, and the whole crowd just rushes like a rock star to go see him.
	Like, they leave behind Little Marco and Lion Ted and Jeb!
	They all want to go see Trump in his suit in his private helicopter.
	This is true.
	Never forget that.
	And he's never unburdened by what has been.
	Nice.
	Nice.
	Come in with seven, then we'll do KD podcast and cigars.
	Seven book podcast cigars.
	Yep.
	God, when I'm caffeinated, the show lasts about three minutes.
	As opposed to lasting about six minutes on a regular basis.
	So is that coffee only one day a week, Alex?
	Yes, sir.
	Mondays.
	That's like so jippy.
	It's like, really?
	I mean, don't be so Scottish.
	Only one day a week?
	I mean, really?
	So I guess did my wife send you that?
	I contacted your better half and had an idea and she made it happen while she was in Chicago.
	She's in Chicago at the airport where she lost her wallet.
	Oh no!
	Now you might remember in March she was at Chicago and she lost her wallet in the airport.
	Oh come on.
	She got it back last time but yes I cannot believe.
	Did she drop it or what?
	She thinks she did I don't know.
	Was that both at O'Hare?
	We probably are.
	Oh man, that's a bummer.
	Alright, coming in...
	Bumber, bumber, bumber...
	Remember, you can retire at 20 years.
	Tim Walz served for 24.
	And the fact that they have to go back to find a clip from 2018, to find the one time that he slipped up when he talks about the weapons of war that he carried and said something instead about carrying a weapon in war, it's kind of an exception that proves the rule in terms of how hard you have to look to find Tim Walz saying anything that isn't precise and accurate.
	Wow, that's the only thing they can find?
	Did you hear the latest?
	He gave an interview where he said he saw, he stood as a congressman at the airfield in Bagram with the bodies of those killed in Iraq.
	Eric, what's the biggest problem with that?
	Apart from the fact that he's neither been to Iraq or Afghanistan, what's the problem of seeing those killed in Iraq in their caskets at Bagram?
	Bagram, I remember this from the painful withdrawal in Afghanistan a couple years ago.
	Bagram is not in Iraq, it's in Afghanistan.
	Small detail, small detail.
	You're in the wrong bloody country!
	You can't even lie accurately.
	Hey Jeff, I've got a big correction to make.
	Big Mayor Culper.
	We've missed it out.
	Suit and tie, or golf shirt, there is a third thing.
	Do you know what he's worn?
	Or how he's sometimes seen?
	Um, is it like when he does the hurricane rescue, that type of stuff, the presidential jacket?
	Oh, no, that's like official when they give you the red jacket.
	No, no, no.
	No, no, no.
	And it's kind of like, for me, it doesn't work.
	When I do it, I don't feel fully comfortable.
	You can do it with a sports jacket when he takes his tie off and he's wearing a suit.
	You know when it's really hot?
	Oh yeah, yeah, and he wears a hat with a suit, too.
	He does that, but when he's just got the open neck on the white shirt and the suit, does that work?
	It works for him.
	For him?
	Yeah.
	Well, you know, he's Donald Trump.
	He can do what he likes.
	Make sure we get him re-elected.
	How do you do that?
	You've got to understand the threat.
	Like Sun Tzu said, understand the enemy.
	How do you do that?

	you you
	me around me we Is that all blue eyes?
	I hit me with that shot.
	Hit me with that shot.
	Is that all blue eyes?
	Darn well sounds like it.
	Maybe it's not.
	Maybe it's a man who understands what Sinatra represents and knows what it means to be a man.
	A perfect guest for the Manhood Hour today.
	A good friend of mine, a happy warrior par excellence.
	He keeps New York sane every morning.
	They just call him Jersey Joe.
	Jersey Joe Piscopo!
	Welcome to America First.
	Doc, always great to be with you, sir.
	How are you?
	I'm very well, I'm very well, and we're going to enjoy this hour together in front of millions of listeners across the nation.
	We should have done this a long time ago.
	You're such a friend of the show of mine, personally, that you're the perfect guest.
	Understand and revitalize what it means to be a man in this year of 2024.
	The assaults on classic concepts of masculinity, a la Rat Pack, are legion.
	I think we're pushing back.
	If the events of Butler, Pennsylvania did anything, it's a reassertion of what it means to be a true warrior.
	But Joe, let's start with Who you are and how you went from movies to comedy to SNL star, now to keeping New York sane every morning.
	So give us the... For those people who've been under a rock for the last 50 years, who is Joe Piscopo?
	You know, I came off of SNL and did so many things and all I wanted to do was be a working entertainer, blue collar entertainer, Seb, you know?
	Well, let's go back.
	Let's go back.
	You don't just get into SNL.
	So you don't just walk off the street.
	Hi, my name is Jersey Joe.
	So how did you get into what used to be, you know, the premier comedy platform of this nation?
	I was working at comedy clubs.
	I went to college.
	I graduated with radio and television, you know, a broadcast degree.
	I went to four years of a little school in Jacksonville, Florida.
	Fell in love with radio.
	Then I said, let me try the comedy thing.
	Let me see if I can just be a working actor, a journeyman entertainer, you know.
	And I went to the improvisation comedy club, 44th and 9th, Hell's Kitchen,
	and said, do you think it's bad down in New York, man?
	Back then, we used to have to walk over bodies like to get to work, you know?
	I got my nose busted on stage because I said the wrong thing
	to a gangster that was in the crowd.
	It was a wild time, but in the late 70s.
	So then I heard they were seeking the current cast of Saturday Night Live,
	Lorne was leaving, Lorne Michaels was leaving, and they're looking for a new cast.
	And I said, man, you can't replace Belushi and Aykroyd and Gilda Radner and the great writers, Herb Sargent, Michael O'Donoghue and Alan Zweifel.
	These were genius.
	So I said, you can't do it.
	I didn't even think about it.
	SNL came to the comedy clubs.
	They did a sweep.
	They got nobody, but I had a friend who was a writer at SNL, Johnny DeBellis.
	You know, we all had our little fraternity.
	Larry David was there at the time, and Jerry Seinfeld was coming up.
	It was a very exciting time, I must say, when comedy was rock and roll.
	And then, so DeBellis was already hired as a writer, talked to Gene Domani, who was producer, said, you need a utility guy to do impressions.
	There's a guy named Joe Piscopo at the Improvisation.
	I went up, I read at the 17th floor at NBC, For Mr. Manion, and she said, yeah, this is good.
	Come back for the regular audition.
	Seb, I didn't want the job.
	You couldn't replace the genius of Chevy Chase.
	It was legendary.
	Oh, come on, come on, come on.
	You didn't want a shot at SNL.
	Come on.
	There's modesty, and then there's false modesty.
	Come on, brother.
	I gotta tell you, long story short, the guy that ran the improv, Chris Albrecht, who put Larry David on the air, put the Sopranos on the air, is a genius programmer from HBO.
	But then he was the club manager and he handled us, and he would say, and I was doing good, I was doing commercials, man.
	I was doing Buick commercials and I was making good money.
	I never thought at a college I was making great money.
	You can get better gas mileage from this full-size Buick LeSabre than from this VW Rabbit.
	But is it Corinthian leather?
	That's the question.
	It was those times, man!
	And I was a kid, and I was doing commercials in Detroit, and I would do... I did Dr. Pepper.
	I'm a pepper, he's a pepper, she's a pepper, we're a pepper, you know?
	And I was having a ball.
	So now, the guy that handled all of us says, look, they're casting, go up, do the audition, do the audition.
	They go, all right, now you gotta do the real audition.
	And you go in, and there were about a thousand of us going through the audition.
	Were you nervous?
	No, I gotta tell you something.
	I'm telling you.
	I didn't want the job because you could replace it.
	That's when you get the job.
	When you don't give a fig.
	That's when you're so cool.
	You get the job.
	I was so I was so cocky.
	And I remember Paul Rubens was there.
	Peewee Herman, you know, was it?
	And there were a thousand people.
	And we went I went up.
	I went I think it was David Letterman's Studio 6A or something like that.
	All the producers are there.
	All the brass was there from NBC.
	I got up.
	And I went and I did my Frank Sinatra impression.
	And then I did some jokes.
	And it's online somewhere.
	And thinking, that's it.
	And I left.
	And of course, what happened?
	They said, you're hired.
	You're hired.
	Just like that.
	And I went, listen, listen, and I know, we know each other well enough, I'm not gonna, I'm not gonna blow smoke.
	I said to Mr. Albrecht, Chris, I said to, I said, he goes, you got, you're hired, man.
	And I went, I can't do it.
	They were paying me less than I was making doing the Dr. Pepper and Buick commercial.
	Yeah.
	Pay me less, man!
	So what happened?
	What happened?
	So I had to take the job.
	Chris said, you gotta take it.
	It's Saturday Night Live.
	But then, We did 10 shows.
	It just wasn't great.
	We just weren't great.
	You couldn't replace it.
	I was right.
	But then they brought in Dick Ebersole, legendary producer, and he cleaned house.
	So we were all up 17th floor, and me and Eddie were so cocky and carefree at the time.
	You and Eddie Murphy, right?
	Yeah, yeah, yeah.
	Eddie, we just bonded just brilliant and a great guy.
	And he was Long Island.
	I was Jersey.
	We were in New York.
	We had comedy sets to do that night.
	And we got called up and they started whacking everybody, man.
	They started firing everybody up there.
	Gilbert Gottfried, boom, fired.
	Gilbert Gottfried, everybody whacked.
	People were walking.
	Oh, yeah, they were getting it.
	Then, then Dick Ebersole calls me and Murphy together as he puts us at the desk.
	And this is Lauren's office, but Dick Ebersole is the producer.
	And he goes, All right, Eddie and Joe, we've decided to keep you.
	And me and Murphy were so cocky, we went, yeah, look, that's great, Dick, but we got a comedy shot in about a half an hour.
	Do you mind if we go ahead and do it?
	And that carefree, reckless abandon, that attitude translated, I think, certainly for Eddie and I, onto the airwaves.
	And by the grace of God, my people, we go like this.
	It worked out OK.
	And how hard a gig was it?
	Because doing the clubs is bloody hard.
	I've got two friends who did the clubs for years.
	That is a life-destroying kind of, you know, especially when you're traveling the country.
	What about working on Saturday Night Live?
	How was that?
	Worst ever.
	I walk by NBC to this day, to this day, and I get anxiety.
	Every time we call, I freak out.
	You gotta go in.
	You have to write for yourself.
	If you don't have something for the week, you're not on the air.
	And you had Monday and Tuesday to do it, and that wasn't it.
	That's why I love doing radio.
	I love doing live, but you had to prepare.
	So we would go in Monday, we'd sleep over till Tuesday, sleep on the couch, and we would check, what are we doing?
	And we'd think, what's happening in the news?
	Let's try to write something.
	Read through Wednesday.
	And then you have to wait.
	You have to read through.
	Three o'clock on a Wednesday, you know, like about six o'clock, they say, this is in the show.
	This is not in the show.
	And you hope your sketch was in the show.
	And then you hit rehearsal Thursday, rehearsal Friday.
	And man, you hit it.
	Hit it running.
	It was the most anxiety I've ever experienced.
	But, but, The comfort zone for me was being online.
	We didn't have a delay.
	I don't believe we had a delay.
	The original cast had a delay because they put prior on it.
	But George Carlin, they had a delay.
	We had no delay.
	And when you're next to Eddie Murphy at 19 years old, and he goes, I'm going to do Do you think that might be a little racist?
	I don't care.
	I'm doing it.
	And we had we were so politically incorrect.
	It was when you could be funny.
	Yeah, when when when humor was humor and you're allowed to actually crack jokes about anything.
	Superstar Saturday Night Live and so many other things besides including wise guys as well.
	We're talking to Jersey Joe.
	Follow him I'm at Jersey Joe Piscopo.
	The nuns didn't teach him how to spell.
	Jersey is G-R-Z-Y.
	He is the host of the Joe Piscopo, so AM 970 the answer.

	We'll be back with Jersey Joe in a second.
	We live together in perfect harmony, side by side on the...
	Excuse me, Stevie. I'll hold on.
	Hold on, Stevie.
	Now, something tells me that this is more than a song about playing the piano.
	Frank, it's about racial equality and unity of all people.
	Well, I don't understand.
	When I think ebony, I think of a magazine that most people do not buy.
	And when I think of ivory, I think of a soap that floats.
	Ebony and Ivory are the black and white keys on the piano, Frank.
	All right, Stevie, I know that.
	You know that.
	But it's too artsy for the public, kibish?
	Now, I talked to the master, Sammy Kahn, and Sammy is a marvelous, marvelous songwriter.
	No offense, Steve.
	And Sammy thinks we should go with something like chocolate and vanilla.
	Or how about this?
	Life is an Eskimo pie.
	Why don't we take a bite?
	Yeah.
	I'm afraid that might be a bit offensive to some people.
	Hey, who cares what the Eskimos think?
	They don't buy records, huh?
	Just the way he pronounces pie is pure Sinatra.
	How does he do it?
	We'll ask him momentarily.
	But first, Salem has heard your plea.

	All right, I want to shift to your love of Sinatra and how that happened and what the Rat Pack epitomized in terms of classic masculinity.
	But of your years at SNL, what was the most surprising experience?
	What do you keep with you?
	You said something interesting about one of the Ghostbusters.
	You said you're a big, big fan of Mr. Aykroyd.
	Yeah, Danny Aykroyd, to me, is the captain of the starship SNL.
	He really is.
	He's very humble.
	Except this guy's great.
	You would love him.
	And he, to me, when I would watch him, he would do characters never used Makeup.
	When I got there, I found prosthetics, and I had a genius makeup guy called Kevin Haney went on to win an Academy Award, and he would make me look like Frank Sinatra, Andy Rooney.
	Remember Andy Rooney?
	Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
	You ever notice how bushy my eyebrows are?
	You know, he's the most annoying man on television, but a great reporter.
	So I would always go in there, and Danny, it was introspective with him.
	And so it was cool, and I always appreciated that.
	So, as a matter of fact, the biggest compliment I ever had, I was on the road somewhere, and someone came over to me.
	And they always misidentify you sometimes.
	Like, sometimes I walk out, and people will go, oh my God, they'll see me.
	They'll go, oh look, look, it's Joe.
	Honey, honey, it's Joe Pesci.
	Look, you know, they always do.
	You know, they get the wrong guy.
	So the biggest compliment I ever had.
	As long as it's not, oh, it's Danny DeVito.
	As long as they don't do that.
	They said you're the best guy that was ever on SNL.
	No, they didn't say that.
	They said you're the best guy on SNL because your portrayal of the characterizations are extraordinary.
	Can I have your autograph, Dan Aykroyd?
	That's what they said.
	So they thought it was Dan Aykroyd.
	So of course, I signed Dan Aykroyd.
	But Danny was, to me, the epitome of what SNL was.
	From doing Richard Nixon, to doing Bassamatic, to doing Julia Child.
	The Julia Childs is just a skip for the ages.
	Yep.
	So that was my guy when I went on.
	And so you try to emulate it.
	You could never do Danny.
	And you know, it was really, really tough when they would say, all right, you're going to do Tom Snyder.
	If you remember the great Tom Snyder, a great television personality back in the 70s.
	And I said, wait, Danny Ackroyd did Tom Snyder.
	And so they said, no, you got to do Tom Snyder.
	And I used to hate to have to do something Danny did, you know, so I'd make it a little different.
	I did, I did a Spanish Tom Snyder.
	If you remember, Tom Snyder said, you know, a little bit deeper.
	Go sultana, keep it.
	Go sultana, keep it.
	Go for a good thing.
	Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.
	You know?
	But you got to do what you got to do to survive.
	He is.
	He is Mr. Improv.
	He just switches it on, mentions a name, and then drops it.
	We're talking to Jersey Joe, host of the Joe Piscopo Show every morning, AM 970.
	The answer, JoePiscopo.us.
	Okay, so where does the Rat Pack and your weekly shows and tributes to Sinatra, where does that come from?
	You know, my father, my father, the greatest generation fought in the United States Army Air Corps.
	And you and I talk about this, you know, our parents and all that they gave us.
	And my pop told me, you know, my father was a lawyer.
	He represented the non-English speaking blue collar laborers.
	That his father was.
	He was in compensation.
	Somebody got hurt on the job, and then he would take care of that person.
	I would go to court with Pop when I was a kid, and somebody lost... I don't mean to laugh, but they would lose like a thumb, and the insurance company would say, he's got another thumb.
	We're not going to pay anything, you know?
	So my father would fight for these blue-collar workers, man, like that.
	But Pop said, you want to go into entertainment, there's one man Who's the ultimate?
	And we were Italian-Americans from North New Jersey, from North Jersey.
	And it was Frank Sinatra.
	Bob said, that's your guy.
	Look at this guy.
	He was the biggest guy in the world.
	He had a tough time, 1950, 1951, where they wrote him off.
	He came back, won the Academy Award.
	There's your guy, Frank Sinatra.
	And they were so similar.
	They were the same age, same neck of the woods.
	You know?
	And their parents are both from Italy.
	As a matter of fact, to this day, when I do the Frank Sinatra show, Sundays with Sinatra...
	It's a tribute to my dad, Seb, is what it is.
	My father was my hero.
	He was a kick-butt man.
	He was so patriotic.
	Everything I talk about in the morning on AM 970, it's my mom and my dad and my grandparents, who told me, they come to this country, they came with an American flag in their hand.
	They learned the language.
	My grandparents, I couldn't understand them.
	They had such a thick Italian accent, but they wanted to learn English.
	They wanted to be American.
	And so Frank Sinatra epitomized all of that, that greatest generation.
	That's where the love is, my friend.
	All right, well, we're going to break that down.
	We're going to talk about not only your love of your Italian heritage, but what are the values that you wish to emulate in your father and your grandparents?
	Because that's really what we do here at the Manhood Hour.
	We break down what those represent to you and what we need to do for the generations of young men growing up today.
	We talk to Joe Piscopo, co-host.
	He's the host of the Joe Piscopo Show every morning, a.m.
	at 9.70.
	The answer, keeping New York insane every morning. And of course, don't forget, it's the
	Frank Sinatra show every Sunday, his tribute to the leader of the Rat Pack. If you
	enjoy what we do here, make sure you never miss any of the breaking news. The current news

	We're back with Jersey Joe, the host of the Joe Piscopo Show on AM 970, The Answer.
	Before we get back to the assault on classic concepts of masculinity, I'm going to exploit you mercilessly because you are a master of the art, and I'm just the newbie.
	I've only been doing this for five years now.
	But it goes to manliness, I think.
	Authenticity and truth-telling.
	I want to pick your brain just for a few minutes.
	What makes for good radio?
	Because you know it.
	Tell us what makes for good radio and what is the future of Radio Joe?
	I think we are at the top of our game, because people who want truth, justice, the American way, forgive the cliche, have nowhere else to go.
	So I learned, and I really, I look to you, you're really, really great at doing this, Seb, and you've been here five years now?
	Five and a half, five and a half.
	Wow, and I'm not stroking you because I love Yeah, your spirit.
	And you know what you have?
	And again, when you talk about Larry Elder's a buddy and Mike Gallagher and I learned from, you know, these broadcasters, you have to be organically honest.
	You have to be honest, because radio is the most intimate medium.
	So the folks that are listening to us now, not even watching us, listening to us, we are in their life, in their mind, in their heart, and they can tell in your voice if you're not sure, if you're not being truthful.
	So you have to be organically honest.
	You have to pull the curtain back, pour it all out.
	You've got to put heart and soul out.
	And it took me a while to learn that.
	But as soon as I did that, they know.
	People are so smart.
	The mainstream media and the elitists, you know, in the White House now, they think we're like dumb, that they don't know.
	We know.
	We know.
	So the folks that are kind enough to look for us and to tune us in deserve nothing less but pure honesty, you know, and you can't marginalize.
	And right now, I think, that we are needed now more than ever, right now more than
	ever, otherwise we're going to lose the country.
	That's how important radio is.
	And what about the future? Because you hear these doomsayers say,
	oh it's podcasting, oh it's YouTube, oh it's streaming.
	You know, I don't want to oversimplify things, but as far as I'm concerned,
	as long as Americans drive cars, there will be radio, there will be talk radio.
	And also, as my good friend Larry O'Connor told me, who's been in radio much longer, and he really understands radio.
	He says none of the other media.
	I mean, I do TV.
	You've done TV.
	TV is completely different.
	It's constrained.
	However you try not to make it, there is an artificiality of looking into a camera and nobody's there.
	But when it comes to radio, Larry said, It's an intimate conversation, and the person listening to you could be in their bedroom, in their kitchen, driving their car.
	It's more of a friend-to-friend relationship, and that's... Look, and tell me if I'm crazy.
	I just think that's never gonna go away, because you don't replace... I don't care how big Joe Rogan is, but you don't replace the live friend element of radio with podcast, TV, streaming, or anything, Joe.
	Am I crazy?
	No, you're absolutely right.
	And when you say you're reaching out into folks who are kind enough to listen right into their lives.
	And also, AM is like hip.
	I always said AM is like retro hip, you know, like, just to use an analogy, when people listen to Frank Sinatra, Frank Sinatra's hotter than ever right now.
	I have people who listen on Sunday nights to the show.
	They're 24 years old.
	They're like kids.
	They're kids.
	And they're just discovering this.
	And that's radio that's doing it.
	And I'm telling you, that is much more important, you're absolutely right, than TV.
	But the good thing is, too, and what is really helpful to us, They get it on the phone, man.
	They call it up on the phone.
	You know, people are listening all around the world right now.
	I have got, when I do the Sunday show, on Monday, it's Monday in Japan, I have a whole litany of Japanese listeners.
	And it's all because of my show.
	Yeah, but they do stream it like that.
	So we got to take it all together.
	And I'm telling you what, now, there's no other medium like it.
	And even Joe Rogan, as great as Joe is, I really believe that most people listen to him as opposed to watching him.
	Absolutely.
	I mean, look, there's no production value there.
	It's just two guys sitting in a studio with, you know, with some cameras rolling.
	Not like us.
	We're pros.
	We're talking to Joe Piscopo.
	This is the Manhood Hour coming to you from the reliefactor.com studios.
	Relief Factor.
	It works.
	I don't need a script.
	I don't need talking points.
	Why?
	Because since I started this show more than five years ago, I've been taking it every morning and every evening.
	I had a lower back pain issue that plagued me for nine years, almost a decade.
	I took Relief Factor two weeks, not three, two weeks later I was pain-free and I'm still pain-free more than five and a half years later.
	I'd like that to be your success story.

	Dr. G is ready for anything on America First.
	Well, especially now.
	Why?
	Because it's Dr. G Mark II, thanks to the great offices of Dr. Ashley Lucas.
	I've lost all that excess baggage around the middle.
	42 pounds lighter.
	My muse, Katie, who joined me on the MyPhD weight loss journey, she lost 36 pounds.
	She's ecstatic.
	Happy wife, happy life.
	No scary injections, no chemical dependency for the rest of your life, just five protein-rich meals a day that burn the fat off.
	I'm down.
	I bought some new pants at the weekend.
	I'm a 36.
	Guys, I haven't been a 36 since I was in my 20s.
	I'm 6'3".
	It feels amazing.

	Well, let's just say you'll be pleasantly surprised.
	864-644-1900, myphdweightloss.com.
	It's the manhood hour.
	We're back with our buddy who keeps New York sane.
	AM 970, the answers, Jersey Joe Piscopo.
	Joe, let's get to the meat of the issue here.
	Your value system, you're a truth teller, you're a fighter, you're a friend to all of your listeners.
	And you have such a heart.
	I've been to your home.
	You've opened it to me when I was going to see the President Bedminster.
	I broadcast from your home.
	And it's full of all your accolades over your career.
	But there's like these sacred spots.
	There's a little flag behind you.
	These sacred places for your Italian family and your Italian heritage.
	So what value system Did your father, your grandparents, impart to you?
	When you think, what is a man?
	What is a value system?
	Talk to us about some words or descriptors for the things that you learnt on their knee.
	Being a father, you know, in Italian, the family is everything.
	So my father was a great role model.
	And again, loved the country, instilled patriotism to me.
	My dear mother just lost her in December, you know, and she made it to 99, my mom, 99 years old.
	I know, God bless her, you know.
	And I'll tell you what, it was all about Family.
	So I can remember being down the shore in Jersey.
	That's when you go down the beach in Jersey, you call it down the shore.
	And I was down there with my buddy down there.
	And he remembers when I was about 15 years old, I said, you know, I want to grow up and I want to be a father.
	Even back then, I said, I said, I want to be a dad.
	I'd love to have a son.
	So now I have five of the most beautiful children in the world with a shout out to their moms, you know, but that is my impetus.
	for everything that I do.
	I live for my children.
	That is a responsibility.
	And that to me is the ultimate manhood.
	That's guts.
	That's courage.
	You got no safety net.
	It's you.
	You are maintaining that whole family.
	And you know, it's the most, it's the most treasured situation you're going to be in because it's human life.
	You're molding human life the way my parents did for me.
	So when I go, as you know, I have a mantra that I go and I try to help People in the at-risk areas.
	When I saw Donald Trump, I saw President Trump a couple months ago, and why I would, you know, I said, I said, Mr. President, how about a presidential inner city task force?
	You know, you're on a show, you know, you know, he goes, you're on it, let's do it.
	And then he goes to the Bronx, he goes to Philly, goes to Detroit.
	And that, and I, in there, I went to the Newark detention center, Seb, if I may, and when I was walking the streets in Newark, before it came back, it's doing quite well now, and I said, and there were all kids in there, and they were all incarcerated, one kid said, I said, what are you in here for?
	He goes, homicide, like that.
	And I go home at 15 years old.
	And that's how I got indoctrinated into this.
	And he was, you know, he was handcuffed.
	And I said, he said homicide, like you and I would have said, oh, we got in a fight at school like that.
	And I went in and I talked to all these young men and I said, how many fathers are in the house?
	Not one.
	Not one.
	And you hear, you always hear the great Ben Carson talk about it.
	You always hear the great Larry Elder talk about it.
	And I'm telling you what, if you're, if you have a child, And you're not responsible for that child.
	You are not a man.
	You are not a man.
	Even if you're in New Jersey, you're in New York, and you've got to deal with the family court system, and there's a breakup, you have to be true and put everything aside and be true to that child.
	Because that child is your ultimate responsibility.
	And that, of course, that's therein lies the problem of the stressed areas in America.
	But for me, it's fatherhood.
	That's manhood.
	That's macho.
	That's tough.
	You know, because everybody thinks I walk around really tough like that.
	Hey, have a kid, change a diaper.
	That's manhood, my brother.
	You know, I mean, you know, and I did it all.
	I did it all, but grace of God, I had the best kids in the world.
	We see, and I know you're very close to them, we see the recent polling and It's not true for young women.
	They're tending violently in the opposite direction.
	But for young men, there's this very strong tack towards traditional and conservative values in the last couple of years.
	I think this utter rejection of wokeism.
	Are you optimistic that we can keep that going, Joe?
	There's 100 million of us, a good hard third of the country that believes in this, that believe in one nation under God, that believe in family.
	Now, the trouble is, there's another 100 million that are like this Tim Schmaltz guy and Kamala Harris.
	There's no values there.
	And believe me, by the way, I've made every mistake you can make.
	I've made every mistake, and sometimes I think my journey on the radio is like my penance.
	It's God trying to repent, you know what I mean?
	In the eyes of God, you know?
	And try to do the right thing and say the right thing.
	We are strong.
	We are strong, and I really honestly believe we will prevail, you know?
	Because my faith is unwavering.
	It's stronger than ever.
	And I think that good will always prevail over evil.
	But yeah, and you're absolutely right.
	Right, as always, Seb, is that people see it now.
	Kids see it now.
	I mean, 20-somethings are hip to it.
	They understand, you know, and I think we're going to be okay.
	The irony of it all, I heard Dan Bongino say something on his show this morning that I've been saying for a good couple of years now.
	The great irony is the guys in the sharpsuits, the people who are called conservatives, we are the counterculture!
	We are the cool kids now!
	If you're woke it's like, that's so You're so uncool.
	Conservatives may not be wearing blazers and bow ties anymore, but we are the cool kids.
	And one of the coolest is our buddy Joe Piscopo.
	The website is joepiscopo.us.
	That's how much of a patriot he is.
	None of this .com for him.
	.us.
	Tune in to him.
	Follow his podcast, Sinatra Show, every Sunday.
	Otherwise, AM 9, 7 to the answer, The Joe Piscopo Show.
	And follow him at Jersey is of course spelled J-R-Z-Y.
	If you have a cell phone, may I make a modest request, which is rather significant in the long term?
	Stop funding the woke side, the people who hate you, the big three cell phone companies.
	They're not American.
	They donate millions of dollars of the profits you make for them every single year to organizations like Planned Parenthood, to gun control foundations.
	So think about that.
	You're funding, with every call you make and every text you send, people who are trying to undermine you and your belief system.
	There's only one Christian conservative cell phone company in the nation.
	It's the one I use.
	It's Patriot Mobile.
	Glenn and his team are superb, and they love America.
	If you switch right now, and it's easy, you keep your old number, keep your old phone, or get an upgrade, and you use my name, you'll get your first month absolutely free.
	Special discounts for veterans and first responders.
	Don't wait another day, and don't fund people who hate you with every call you make and every text you send.
	It's as easy as calling 972-PATRIOT.
	PatriotMobile.com slash Gawker.
	That's 972-728-7468.
	PatriotMobile.com slash G-O-R-K-A.

	Is that Joe Piscopo and Eddie Murphy?
	I'll have to check.
	Nicely done, Alex.
	Thank you, thank you, thank you.
	How did we get to where we are today with one party insane opening our borders, giving billions to our enemies like Iran and saying, oh yeah, men can be women and inflation.
	What inflation?

	What are you going to be smoking as you listen to that podcast and read Katie's book?
	Well, of course, my brand new cigars.
	The George Washington Liberty Dr. G cigars at SebGorkaStore.com.
	Been waiting years to find a cigar worthy of our website.
	It has landed.
	SebGorkaStore.com.
	All right, he said something in the break.
	I gotta hear about it.
	How did he get back into radio?
	He's been doing it for a decade now.
	What, you said, happenstance?
	Was it a dare?
	Was it a bet?
	Tell us, Joe.
	Yeah, you know, I got a friend, Dr. Rock Positano.
	He's a very elite Foot and ankle, a guy who actually, he actually cured the heel pain of Joe DiMaggio, Dr. Rock did.
	He's a buddy.
	I know you think I just hang out with Italians, but that's not the case.
	But Rock goes, you should be on the radio, man.
	You have a degree in broadcasting.
	And I heard they need somebody down at Salem Media in New York, and I went, sure, let's go down.
	So long story short, I go down there to Wall Street, where the station is, Mr. Crowley, Jerry Crowley's there.
	You know, Phil Boyce, of course, legendary Phil Boyce.
	And I go in, and they said we'd have our morning guy left.
	I got nobody in the morning.
	So I said to Jerry, I said, look, I guess I love radio.
	I love it.
	It's so awesome.
	And I just am addicted to it, you know?
	And I'm a fan of it.
	And I said, let me go on the air.
	I said to Mr. Crowley, let me go on the air for, you know, I'll go on for a couple of weeks.
	If it works great.
	If it doesn't work great.
	I've got to go with it.
	That's 10 years ago, 10 years ago.
	And they put me in Morning, the number one media market in the world with Salem Media.
	And they said, and I was a life A lifelong blue dog democrat.
	And Jerry said to me, you know, we're conservative.
	I said, hey, I voted for Ronald Reagan.
	I told him that, you know.
	So we got on the air and it's been a love fest.
	And now today you tell the truth irrespective of party.
	You're an inspiration to all of us.
	The epitome of what it means to be a happy warrior and keeping millions sane every morning.
	Listen to the truth.
