Time Text
circle Russia, a hostile act.
The credulous media rarely explained to Americans that we unilaterally walked away from two intermediate
nuclear weapons treaties with Russia and then put nuclear warhead
aegis missile systems in Romania and Poland.
This is a hostile, hostile act.
And that the Biden White House repeatedly spurned Russia's offer to settle this war peacefully.
The Ukraine war began in 2014 when U.S.
agencies overthrew the democratically elected government of Ukraine and installed a hand-picked pro-Western government that launched a deadly civil war against ethnic Russians in Ukraine.
In 2019, America walked away from a peace treaty, the Minsk Agreement, That had been negotiated between Russia and Ukraine by European nations.
And then in April of 2022, we wanted the war.
In April of 2022, President Biden sent Boris Johnson to Ukraine to force President Zelensky to tear up a peace agreement that he and the Russians had already signed and the Russians were withdrawing troops from Kiev and Donbass and Lugansk.
And that peace agreement would have brought east of the region and would have allowed Donbass and Lugansk
to remain part of Ukraine.
President Biden stated that month that his objective in the war was regime change in Russia.
His Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin simultaneously explained that America's purpose in the war...
Can I have the responding guy on our show with no intro?
Who is this?
This is RFK Jr.
And why are we playing him?
Because he just dropped out and he endorsed President Trump.
What, right now?
Yes.
Isn't that a bit of a surprise?
Isn't it a little early?
We've got like 74 days to go.
Yeah, I thought he would have done it tonight though, at the Trump rally.
Well, didn't the president say he's gonna have a surprise guest tonight?
Yeah, well at least this surprise guest will show up.
Oh my gosh, yeah, Beyoncé's in... So what happened?
Look, this is the only thing I could think of yesterday.
Everybody spreads the rumor that Beyoncé is gonna come on stage before the Cackler, before Kamala.
And she didn't!
So does that mean that Beyoncé's voting for President Trump now?
Um, I think it just means... I like that idea, but I just think it means that the Democrats lied, because that's what they always do.
Well, you know that somebody admitted that.
That one of her White House advisors admitted.
Yeah, I did hear that.
Did you see that?
They lied.
So much news coming at us out of a firehose.
So, seriously guys, RFK is in Phoenix right now.
He's giving a speech about the path ahead, which the path ahead means he's dropping out, okay?
His funders have left him in the dust.
They know he's an irrelevance.
And he has... Jeff, is it... The fact that he's just... He didn't do like a...
A DeSantis and wait or anything to the last minute and then wait to endorse.
He's dropped out now and as he's dropping out in the same speech, RFK Jr.
is endorsing President Trump.
I think that's big.
I think it is as long as, for the next month or two, he does the same thing and he's actually campaigning for Trump.
Right.
That's where it's important.
If he just drops out... Well, he's not going to get a job in the administration if he doesn't.
Well, that's good then.
I'm good with that.
I want to see him work in the podcast.
As long as it's like... What can we give him?
Like a Department of Education and then he can shut it down or something?
That was my vote.
I think that'll help get Democrats' vote to shut it down.
This is fascinating.
And then what happens last night?
We have the speech from Kamala.
Look, I stayed up for once for my sins because I had to be on Newsmax and President Trump bumped into our show.
It's super funny.
We're going to share that with you later.
What did you think of the speech?
Um, definitely not joy, I would say.
That definitely wouldn't be the way I described it.
The beginning, when she was going through her life story, which was okay, and as you said, the audience looked bored.
They did look very bored during that.
It was funny.
It was this juxtaposition.
At the beginning, it was like this Maoist party parade, with everybody screaming and clapping.
And after the initial screaming and clapping, where she said, thank you, 27 times, the camera panned at the audience, and they looked really bored.
Yeah, and then as far as the speech, it was a bunch of soundbites that said absolutely nothing.
And the Israel thing, she took both sides.
Oh my gosh.
If she thinks she's going to get away with that, that's not going to work.
I've got to read Victor Davis Hanson's latest analysis, especially on that Israel flip-flop, but oh my gosh.
And on top of that, Jeff, at the beginning she told her story about, and after my parents got separated, I got so used to the Mayflower truck coming to move us to new homes, to Chicago and California.
She left out Canada.
Why did she leave out Canada?
I know it's a little xenophobic.
She can't mention that she lived in another country for a little bit.
It's okay.
Oh gosh.
Let's have a little clip.
Let's have the first clip from Kamala last night.
We're going to give you all kinds of analysis.
The number is 833-333-GORKER.
It's 833-334-6752.
It's Friday.
It's us, Dr. G Anything.
Keep it clean.
It's Second Amendment Friday.
Some very special Second Amendment guests for you.
And making movies great again with an Just a classic.
Everybody's forgotten one of the best neo-noirs out there.
So just listen for the whole three hours.
So of the list of things Kamala said she's done in her career, this one's a doozy.
Cut one.
I stood up for veterans and students being scammed by big for-profit colleges.
For workers who are being cheated out of their wages, the wages they were due.
For seniors facing elder abuse.
I fought against the cartels who traffic in guns and drugs and human beings.
Who threaten the security of our border and the safety of our communities.
The last part of that is really sickening.
The woman who presided over the opening of the border, at least 20 million illegals, 60% of the women and children being raped, sexually abused under her open border regime.
She fought the cartels.
But the first part, Eric, what is this?
She fought elder abuse.
I can think of one significant case of elder abuse she actually facilitated.
What's this about Kamala fighting elder abuse, Eric?
Yeah, let's ask her erstwhile boss, Joe Biden, of her stance on elder abuse, because I'm pretty sure putting him through all this politically, the long, the late nights, staying up till, you know, 7pm at night and everything else he has to do as president, Bingo.
Yeah, you actually participated in the abuse of the elder who is the current Commander-in-Chief.
What was President Trump's response before he dialed in to us on Newsmax?
He chastised Martha McCallum on Fox, and it was rather amusing.
We've got two cuts from that phone call.
First, this is Martha McCallum giving her summary, and President Trump seeing it a little bit differently.
Cut 14.
Let me ask you this, sir.
There's been a huge appeal and momentum for women voters.
She's trying to pull the youth vote, the Hispanic vote, the black vote back in her direction.
Polls show that she's having some success in that at this point.
So what are you going to do?
What's your strategy to rebuild the momentum that you had with those voters?
No, she's not having success.
I'm having success.
I'm doing great with the Hispanic voters.
I'm doing great with black men.
I'm doing great with women, because women want safety.
They want safety.
And they don't have safety when they have somebody allowing 20 million people into our country, many of them very dangerous people.
No, it's only in your eyes that they have that, Martha.
It's only in your eyes that they have that, Martha.
And then he told the truth about Kamala and what she said last night.
Cut 15.
I lower taxes.
She's raising taxes.
She's going to give a tax increase of four to five times what people and companies are paying right now.
The country will go into a depression if they do it.
She didn't talk about interest rates.
I mean, the interest rates are now getting close to record rates.
People can't do business.
Nobody can borrow money.
People can't go to the American Dream and buy a house because they can't afford the interest rate.
And even if they could, the money isn't available.
She didn't talk about any of that.
Now, if she got in, look, she's a Marxist.
She always was.
She always will be.
She's going to leave the border open.
I was there today, and the Border Patrol, as you know, gave me total endorsements and all of that.
I've gotten endorsed by almost every major police group in the United States.
But she is a Marxist with open borders.
She's not going to have any fracking in Pennsylvania.
She's a Marxist.
That's all you need to know.
That's the truth about the current selected nominee of the Democrat Party.
Even Gavin Newsom admitted it.
We'll play you that next here on America First.
There's only one line left open.
On the call board.
That's stunning.
Ben, Franco, Brad, Ted, don't go anywhere.
We're going to talk to you after our first guest.
One line left open.
833-33 Gorka.
That's 833-334-6752.
333 Gorkovic 833-334-6752. It's only downhill for Kamala if that's the best she can do.

And I'm out.
I'm out.
You You
you And let me tell you something.
When she takes her oath of office, as she will this January, our allies will cheer, our enemies will fear, and we will have a commander-in-chief that we can trust.
Really?
Because we were told Kamala was the last person in the room when Biden decided to surrender Afghanistan.
She was asked about it and she was proud to be the last person in the room with regards to that surrender.
A surrender which led to the deaths of 13 U.S.
servicemen and women.
Brave Marines, a corpsman, and a Green Beret sergeant.
Whose name's strange, and I have to give full credit, I think, the account that I reposted on my Instagram.
Yes, it's Trump War Room, and we'll put it up in a moment.
Trump War Room.
The DNC just did a whole segment on supporting our veterans.
For reasons that we are sure you can imagine, these veterans went unmentioned, and it is the photograph of the 13 killed in Kabul by an ISIS suicide bomber.
Somebody did remember them, not just the families of those who were lost, but the representative in the California House who Two of who lived in his constituency.
He's a great friend of the show.
Bill Asale, welcome back to America First with the father of Corporal Karim Nakoui.
Steve Nakoui, welcome sir, also to America First.
Thank you, Dr. Gorka.
So, Mr. Nakui, would you react please to the fact that the names of your son, Kareem, and the 12 others didn't come up during four days of celebrations, discussions of the military, at least a hundred different speakers.
Were you surprised that the name of your son wasn't mentioned in Chicago?
Thank you for having me, Dr. Gorka.
No, I wasn't surprised.
I haven't been surprised because of the fact that the last three and a half years, they haven't said their names.
They haven't mentioned about it.
And every time that they've had an opportunity to, they've not done it.
What has happened between the administration?
What outreach has occurred between the administration or the Pentagon and you and your family?
All right.
This was it.
The only outreach we had was in Dover, Delaware, which was, I think, the second day after we learned the news we had to fly out there.
And we were Everybody knows that he was looking at his watch, so I mean, it was like someone put me in the stomach and all the other parents as well.
And then since that time, we've repeatedly asked to meet with the administration to talk about, you know, what were they thinking at that time?
What happened?
What went wrong?
How can we learn from those mistakes?
They refused every time to meet with us.
And, um, I think even Tyler Andrew Vargas, you know, he was talking to Joe Biden.
You know, he's the amputee who, the sniper who actually seen the bomber, um, had a chance to take him out beforehand, but didn't, wasn't, you know, authorized by his, um, command to do so.
And that same bomber that he was looking at all day long, inevitably blew off his limbs.
So, you know, he doesn't have a right arm.
He doesn't have a left leg.
And, um, or right leg, maybe.
I'm sorry.
I should know.
But, um, you know, uh, when his mom reached out to him to do some, some good work, you know, for, for veterans, even to Jill Biden, they just didn't even call back.
They never contacted him back or anything.
And, uh, so for this, you know, this administration, um, You know, Joe Biden, they've never honored our kids.
They've never, you know, honored their sacrifice.
And, you know, that has had a detrimental effect on the The recruiting process for now we're at the lowest recruiting for the armed forces ever.
Yeah it's absolutely no surprise it's shocking the total disregard and then that congressional testimony of the sniper who had eyes on the suicide bomber at Kabul International Airport and was told to stand down and not save your son's life and the lives of the other 12 who needlessly died along with all the Afghans and those who were mutilated And we'll suffer for the rest of their lives.
So please tell us, Bill, what did you do yesterday in the State House?
What did you do as a result, as an Assemblyman?
Yeah, I asked my staff, I said, have we formally recognized these Gold Star families at our State Capitol?
And they said, no.
I was shocked.
I mean, I'm a new member.
I said, how could that be?
We have not honored them.
Four of the 13 service members were from the state of California.
So we invited the families up yesterday and we finally gave them the honor and the respect they deserve.
You know, I titled my press release on this is this is long overdue.
It's the least we can do for these families and the sacrifice they made.
And we're coming up on the three year anniversary, Dr. G, and we have an election.
And my message is that elections matter.
This isn't a popularity contest.
This is to elect the commander in chief of our armed services.
And those have consequences.
When Democrats are in power, our service members are at danger.
Our embassies are in danger.
You had Hillary Benghazi.
You had this Afghanistan withdrawal, which was disastrous.
I'm not a military expert like you, but I know to get the weapons and the equipment out before you take out the personnel, I mean, that seems basic.
So I think it's important to highlight this anniversary.
Well, I want to salute you for doing that in all places, California and in the State House.
God bless you, Assemblyman Asale.
I don't know how long your son served.
He was a Lance Corporal in the Marines.
Did he ever talk to you, Mr. Nakui, about how it was to serve under a Commander-in-Chief who got it and under a Commander-in-Chief who I think we have only sound now from Mr. Nakui under a different administration.
Did you ever talk about these things with your son?
You know what?
We did talk about it.
Not really in so much words, but I saw a big difference in how What would it be?
His spirits were, his and his fellow Marines, between the different press.
You know, President Trump was in office.
They had a prideful, you know, protective spirit that, like, hey, it doesn't matter what my country asks me to do.
I'm going to do it, and I know that they're going to protect me.
And when Joe Biden was in office, kind of all that disappeared.
You know, there was a little bit more apprehension, Nope, we lost him.
It was a very good connection to begin with.
Is there, who else attended, I have to ask, who else attended yesterday, Assemblyman?
So we had all, we invited all four star family members.
We had three of the four attended.
One of them, if you remember, was iconic.
She was the soldier who was holding the baby in that picture just hours before.
Her family was there.
She was helping the Afghans and held one of the little babies in her arms.
That was the spirit of her service and instead of being rewarded for that, or at least recognized, She was abandoned.
She died along with her 12 servicemen and service colleagues, and then was forgotten.
There we have the original post from Trump War Room, the names of those who were not mentioned during four days at the DNC.
Bill Asale, God bless you for what you did in the Statehouse, and we will keep the souls, the names of Kareem, Nkuyu, and the other 12 in our prayers.
I'm Sebastian Gorka.
your calls next on America First.
Thank you.
Bye.
you you
she said you saved my college and and she loved that Thank you.
And I love you too.
I do actually.
I do actually.
It was like instant chemistry, right?
They didn't know I was coming.
You know, we do that surprise.
I guess we do that for certain reasons, like security and things.
We don't want to broadcast it too much.
But I walked in and we just, she grabbed me and I grabbed her.
But I saved her college.
It's the historically black colleges and universities.
And she loved her college.
She loved her college.
I said, do you really like it?
Was it good?
Go ahead.
Give it a little.
I love the illustrious Park and Land University.
You see?
And she really did.
It was great to see that, as opposed to, oh, it was OK.
She thought it was great.
So I'll see you in a little while.
Thank you.
Thank you very much for being here.
We'll all be joined today by Nicole Williams, the mother of a six-year-old member of the Culinary Union and a bartender.
Can we get the Culinary Union to maybe vote for Trump?
Because, you know, they're great people.
They always have a head of, you know...
But we want to get the culinary union...
How many members of the culinary union are here?
Oh, you have a lot.
I can tell you you have a lot.
But I think a lot of them, we had a poll done, and a lot of them are voting for us.
I can tell you right now.
But people that depend on tip income for our families.
So, Nicole, if I could ask you to come up and say a few words.
Hi, Nicole.
Hi.
How are you?
Thank you.
This is the honor of my life to be up here with my favorite president.
And his no tax on tips policy is going to help my family.
It's going to bring immediate relief to my pocketbook and my seven kids and all of you here who have children and families to take care of.
This is going to be a great thing for all of us.
So let's get out and vote for President Trump.
Let's win Nevada!
That's another live conference.
We came in with RFK, now it's President Trump in Vegas.
Jeff, does he sleep anymore?
I just, I can't keep up.
It's crazy.
He's back in big-time campaign mode now.
I feel good about it.
I've got to be back on Newsmax at 9 o'clock tonight for another stinking rally to comment on it.
Yesterday I was there for Kamala, then the President dropped... Did we play that clip from the President busting into our conversation with Greg Kelly?
Did we play that yet?
Not yet.
All right.
I know where I want to go to course, but this was too funny.
So I was commenting on the Kamala speech last night with Greg Kelly and Mercedes Schlapp, and then we had the president bust in.
I think it's cut 19.
Yes, 19.
Eric, go ahead.
OK, Hogan, did you miss the part where she said, and we're going to fix the economy?
Yeah, we're going to make it an opportunity economy and then left it at that.
Yeah.
Hey, Sebastian, stand by.
All of you stand by.
We are joined now by President Trump on the phone.
President Trump, great to have you here.
I'm sitting with Mercedes Schlapp.
We just watched the speech.
What did you think?
Great to have you on.
Well, I think, and hello, Mercedes, and I hate to cut off Sebastian.
That really can be very dangerous.
I don't like doing that.
Eric, how funny is that?
The guy says he's the flippin' 45th President of the United States!
You know what I think?
That's got to be a new liner, just like Gorka, man.
It's dangerous.
You don't want to interrupt, Sebastian.
Too much fun.
We've got more from the President.
We'll play you that later.
But let's go to your calls.
Brad in Orlando wants to talk about what he heard just a moment ago from RFK Jr.
Yes, Sebastian, if you would, Save this speech.
This speech will go down in American history.
A sitting U.S.
senator is detailing how today's left-wing party is no different from Putin's Russia.
They've been actively using the legal system against him and President Trump.
He's a Democrat.
He's exposed... Hang on, hang on.
Who's the serving senator?
Uh, R.F.K.
Jr.
He's not a senator.
No, what I'm saying is, R.F.K.
Jr.
is one of them.
He's a Kennedy.
Oh, a Kennedy.
Okay, a Kennedy.
No, it was remarkable.
What he said in that speech, before we came on live, about who the Democrats are, how they're using the law, how they're suing him into the ground so he's not allowed to run.
Wasn't that a peek behind the curtain, Brad?
Oh my god.
CNN cut him off and now they're attacking him instead of showing his speech.
You can't make this up, Sebastian.
But what I'm saying is it's frightening.
It's a scathing report.
And I hope you and all the other networks continue to play this speech because it's a turning point in our So I think what we'll do, Brad, is we'll get that first part of the speech and then I'll post it on all my social media, so follow me everywhere.
You know Seb Gorka, Sebastian Gorka, True Social, Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, just follow me.
But let me ask you, Brad, how significant is it that not only a Democrat, but a Kennedy has dropped out, told the truth about the Democrats, and immediately endorsed President Trump?
What do you think that does for the next 74 days?
It's monumental, and now states like New Hampshire are in play?
I'm telling you, you talk about October Surprise in August?
This is the biggest thing, and I've followed politics for a long time.
This is huge.
Not only because he's a Kennedy, because of the rich history, but because he's a Kennedy Democrat.
And they still exist.
The far left... Oh, my mother-in-law is one of them!
She's besotted with the Kennedys 60 years later, Brad.
They're out there.
This is God's gift to the Trump campaign.
It doesn't get any better than this.
So should he offer him a position in the next administration, if God willing we win?
I would.
Him and Tulsi Gabbard.
No, no, no.
Can't have Tulsi.
She likes to hang around with murderers like Assad.
But maybe RFK.
Maybe we can give him... Oh, we've got somebody who's got the perfect drop for him.
We'll talk to him next, Franco.
That's amazing, Brad.
Superb call, superb call.
We'll continue.

Titles.
Two and a half minutes.
What did you say?
Titles for Brandon Monologue.
Brandon, they betrayed me.
Monologue was what?
Uh, RFK.
And then Kamala's speech.
Oh.
RFK, uh, joins the Trump train.
RFK Jr.
joins the Trump train.
Mm-hmm.
And then, you need No Way Out.
No, no, we did No Way Out, right?
Um, yeah, uh, Asale.
Oh, Bill O'Salley.
The 13 names the Democrats will never mention.
Alright, let's do a cut and then I'll do PhD.
You want to talk about the waltz thing at some point?

PhD.
Yeah.
Coming with 20.
20.
Newsome.
And then you can block.
And I just can't believe.
Things happen to me at the TNC.
Thank you for having us.
at the DNC, oh, sit down at the DNC, yeah, yeah, oh.
Thank you for having us.
Thank you guys.
It's been a real pleasure.
I'm not gonna release my policies until I'm.
Thank you.
you How you feeling about the Switch?
I mean, the Switch.
Now we went through a very open process, a very inclusive process.
It was bottom-up.
I don't know if you know that.
Yes, that's what I've been told to say.
Yes, it was a blitz primary, I believe.
That's what they called it.
It was a very, very fast blitz.
I think it was a blink primary, so we call that.
A 30-minute convention, you know, between a tweet and another tweet.
It's amazing how it happened.
Yeah, it's been amazing.
But what is amazing is how unified everybody is.
I mean, it's next level.
Jeff, that has to be one of the most cynical clips I have seen in the five and a half years of doing this show.
I mean, that's like level 11, isn't it?
That's usually something you wait a couple years to do.
Explain who the voices are on that clip.
So that's Pod Save America, the Obama flunkies from the Obama White House.
Who are they talking to?
Who'd do the worst podcast ever, but because they're Obama guys, they pump them up in the algorithm.
Right.
So everybody sees it.
And that's Gavin Newsom.
And that's something you usually wait until two or three years after you do it to make fun of the coup that you just did.
But look at them.
They're just laughing.
They're laughing about how she was selected and not elected.
They're Democrats!
And you know, it also shows how Biden had no power.
He was a joke.
They were just using him.
I'm going to have to play that again.
But first we have to talk about the calls, where we're going to send RFK, and how Dr. G is new and improved thanks to Dr. Ashley Lucas and her amazing team at MyPhD Weight Loss.
You know there's injections that are going around that, you know, stunt your appetite?
You have to take them for the rest of your life if you want to stay slim.
Can you imagine chemical dependence for the next 20, 30, 40, 50 years?
How about a system that has no injections, no chemical dependency, just five protein-rich meals a day that burn the fat off?
That's what Dr. Lucas guarantees.
You've got to call them up.
Find out the way it works and how it can save you and get you back to your former svelte self.

864-644-1900.
All right, before we go to Franco, who knows where to send RFK, it's Friday, so we've got to squeeze in a quick gun question from Arkansas with Chris!
Chris, this is where you talk.
What's your question?
Okay, so I'm a World War II gun collector, and I also have modern guns, and I try to keep everything modern in my three favorite ammos of 5.56, 9mm, and .22.
Okay.
But I got tired of hearing everyone telling me how great the 5.57 by .28 was, and I went and bought the matching set, the handgun and the rifle.
Hang on, hang on.
5.7?
You got the FN 5.7.
What rifle did you get?
The P90?
No sir, I got the Ruger 5.7 pistol and the Ruger LC carbine.
Okay, okay, good, good, good.
Alright, so not the original FNs.
Okay, go ahead, go ahead.
What's the question?
Well, I personally think it's awesome and I know I can't sway you because you'll be honest, but what is your experience with that ammo and or the firearms and what did you think of them?
Look, I like them because they're so unique and historic.
It was a caliber invented to penetrate Soviet armor during the end of the Cold War.
A very special NATO spec.
Then it became an oddity.
Nobody could find the ammunition.
Finally, we have American companies making it.
I have a couple of FN-57 pistols.
I don't have a rifle.
How do you like the rifle?
The rifle's impressive, and I'm glad I shot it first, but the cool thing was they kind of advertised that the pistol, if you can see, which I can't as well anymore, will do 100 yards with iron sights.
And I thought, there's no way.
Oh no, it is such a flat shooting round, easy 100 yards.
It's fast, it's flat, it's like having a mini 5.56 in your hand.
Alright, I'm gonna have to check it out.
The Ruger 5.7, Chris, you give me another excuse to buy a gun.
All right, where are we going to send RFK Jr., if God willing we win?
Franco, line two!
Hey, Dr. G!
Hey!
All right, so you've got a suggestion.
Now that he's endorsed my old boss, where are you going to send old Robbie?
Well, with all the hullabaloo, when his uncle was first running for president, Irish Catholic, Irish Catholic, why don't we send him to Ireland as the ambassador?
You know what?
I think he'd actually do it.
What do you think?
I would think so.
It's, you know, it's not the Caribbean, but it's his family heritage.
I mean, how much trouble can he get into in Ireland?
Well, only if he goes to the Guinness factory.
Now, this is what we're debating here.
Do you think he's going to be serious?
And for the next 74 days, do you think he's actually going to campaign for the president?
Or he just wants to disappear?
I sure hope that he will.
You know, he's an old school Democrat, like you said earlier.
And everybody that I know, know hey I didn't leave the Democrat Party they left me
right all right give me one more toot on the horn Franco
too good be safe out there my friend be safe out there let's go to Ted in
Yonkers wants to talk about the DNC hey dr. Gorka this is all good stuff
I'm happy that we're doing well.
I don't think the Democrats are doing too good, but I'm still a little concerned.
I volunteered to be a poll watcher.
Good.
And I did notice that there's something that's a little scary.
That the DNC is actually trying to mimic the Trump Organization by the USA, USA chant.
Not only that, how about everything else?
The no tax on tips, the strong on Israel.
Either they're lying, Ted, or they're stealing our ideas.
That's all they've got.
Or more importantly, for the first time in I don't know how long, I saw a Democrat actually wearing an American flag.
I know, wasn't it shocking?
Chance of USA.
Oh, did you see on CNN?
It was amazing last night.
They got this one Republican who comes on and he said, he was on a panel with like four other, you know, loony lefties and he said, it's so nice to see you waving the stars and stripes at this convention and not burning it.
Did you see that?
Yeah, I saw it.
It just made me puke.
I hope people do not fall for it.
I hope they get out and vote.
The Democratic Party is very evil and we cannot allow them to win this election.
You know me, I totally agree.
It's not a question of falling for it when you still realize that food's up 40%, your mortgage is up 100%, gas is more than double it was when we left the White House, so no.
The fact, the question is do people live in the real world Or not.
If they live in the real world, it's going to be super, super hard to deny.
Great course today.
Definitely feels like a Friday.
Don't go anywhere, Ben and Ken.
You'll be next.

What do we think of Fredo now, Geoff?
Um, he's trying to be in the middle, but I don't think he ever believed any of this stuff on CNN.
Really?
You could tell.
He was, he just said it?
By the way, If you listen to his radio show, by the way, he would talk about his kids and raising his kids and being a man and all that.
You know what I mean?
He's that typical old school Italian.
Wow, interesting.
But he sat there and pushed all that Russia stuff every night, which you know he knew was fake.
Actually, he might not have been smart enough to know it.
Heh heh.
Heh heh, yes.
What was that?
Alex said bring him on for manhood hour.
Before or after he takes his daily roids.
Mm-hmm.
Ask him about the long history of Italian slurs.

Yes, Kamala Harris talked about immigration, but excusing the situation of the status quo as being a function of one bill not getting allowed to pass by Trump is not going to be satisfying, not to independent voters, not for people who study the issue.
Is that the real Fredo Cuomo?
I thought he was like a CNN hack.
Or was he just reading a script?
Because that's a good point, Fredo.

Let's go to Ben in Atlanta.
Hi, Dr. Gawker.
Yeah, you've got a story.
Tell us your story.
So I'll try to be as brief as possible, but I'm definitely a victim of voter suppression.
I live in Atlanta, Georgia, and my family and I, we go to our community pool where we live.
In our complex and I wear my maggot put my maggot towel down and I wear my Trump Save America 2024 Trump 2024 shorts.
And it's right near the leasing agents where they show prospective residents the pool.
And I was given a lease violation for saying to my wife that we need to make America great again.
So that was in July 20.
So because of the shorts you were wearing, you were giving a lease violation?
More than this, also, after, just on the 19th, I came back from vacation with my family to receive a letter from the complex's attorney.
It's now banning me from the pool and the pool area.
Wow.
because I continued, because after this violation, I continued wearing my Trump shorts and putting
my towel down, my MAGA towel down. And I suspect that they, that infuriated them more. And
now I'm completely banned from the pool area, the pool itself, and I'm no longer allowed
there. And I had reached out to the supervising VP of the region, and I had asked her, I
I had asked her, I said, so I'm not allowed to say to my wife that we need to make
said, so I'm not allowed to say to my wife that we need to make America great again.
America great again.
And she said, let's just say if your behavior does not change, we will be forced to terminate
And she said, let's just say, if your behavior does not I had reached out to the supervising VP of the region, and
your lease.
So this is why- Stay on the line.
If you're prepared, this should be a story, and I want to connect you to the great people
of Bright Bar.
I want you to stay on the line.
We'll get your email.
I don't want to create a broader story and get protection for yourself.
I understand it, but stay on the line because this needs to be a story.
The idea that you can't have a political opinion as an American is a stinking outrage.
So stay on the line, Ben.
You're listening to America First.
One hour down, two to go.

It's Ask Dr. G Anything and it's making movies great again.
How much fun can you have standing up?

you Hello, gun owners of America.
I'm so proud of your work defending our constitutional rights, especially our always under siege Second Amendment.
That's what it is.
It's an under siege Second Amendment, but we're going to keep it strong.
We're now running against the most radical gun grabber that has ever been nominated for president of the United States by far.
Kamala Harris has supported gun confiscation schemes throughout her career, and she does it constantly, and that's what she wants, and she's looking for mandatory buybacks.
We're not going to let that happen.
But let's call it what it is, really.
It is gun confiscation, and it's a violation of your constitutional rights.
I've been fighting this for years, and we've never given up a thing, and we're not going to give it up now.
That's really putting her right alongside some of the most dangerous dictators anywhere in history.
If you think about what she's doing, it's terrible.
We can never let it happen in our country.
We're not going to let it happen in our country.
As California Attorney General, she opposed concealed carry permits for law-abiding citizens unless they could demonstrate an extraordinary need to carry a gun beyond concern for personal safety.
The need was so strong that practically nobody was able to get one.
That's really a radical position, but in contrast, I will always defend your constitutional right to protect yourself.
When I'm president, I will always listen to gun owners of America.
I want to congratulate all of you, because you've really come a long way in a short period of time.
You're strong on guns, and that's the way we want it.
Right now I need every single gun owner to make a plan to go and vote.
The one thing with gun owners, and I don't know why, maybe they just have a certain way about them, maybe they're rebellious, but they don't vote.
They got to get out and vote.
If the gun owners of this country voted just a small percentage of them, we would have a victory like you've never seen.
So I ask all of the gun owners to get out.
We're going to win the election.
We're going to win it for all of us, and I hope that You will be there to help me get it done, because we really have to get out.
We have to vote.
Remember, gun owners don't vote.
I don't know why, but this election you have to vote, because this is the most important election in the history of our country.
November 5th, the most important election.
I think it'll be, frankly, the most important day, perhaps, in the history of our country, because our country is really a nation in decline.
I was sent that, or rather I found it online this morning.
That was a video recording of the President for Gun Owners of America for their summit meeting last week.
Congratulations to Eric Pratt and the whole GOA, which is doing the work the NRA is incapable of doing.
As it has collapsed under Wayne LaPierre.
So, God bless Eric Pratt.
Everyone who cares about the Second Amendment should join Gun Owners of America.
And congratulations!
That statement from the President.
There has never been a more forceful, full-throated support of the Second Amendment.
So that is big, big news.
And we have to get serious.
I mean, I'm just on a text thread with our buddies.
John Patton and Scott Pressler, and Pressler says 30% of Pennsylvanian hunters aren't even registered to vote.
Not that they don't vote, they've got a hunting license and they're not registered to vote!
It's insane!
If you care about the Second Amendment, About the Gold Star father.
Victor Davis Hanson is a superb piece. I'm going to discuss in a moment on what happened
yesterday with Kamala, but we have waiting very patiently from Kamala's old stomping
ground in San Francisco, Ken. So Ken, what is it you want to share with us, my friend?
About the Gold Star father. Yes. Yes. I appreciate your effort.
It was too short, we didn't have a good connection, so I was texting in the break, and we're going to get Mr. Nikoui back for a longer discussion, but what did you want to say, Ken?
I won't forgive him.
I know the story, read the book, and this is the second interview of a Gold Star father or parent from Abbeygate.
There's a Gold Star mother by the name of Cheryl Rex that I I saw her interview.
It was gut-wrenching.
And her interview was done by a Daily Caller reporter, and I recommend that for people to pull up on the Internet.
Her story was also written up by the New York Post.
And what was interesting about her story, Mrs. Rex told of her interaction with the president who showed up at Dover, I think to the surprise of a lot of Gold Star parents.
And of course, the President embarrassed himself with one lie after the other about his son dying in Iraq.
And he didn't do anything to comfort Mrs. Rex or the other parents.
And I would love to see more of these interviews because... All right, we will look into that.
So you said Rex and you said Daily Caller, correct, Ken?
Yes, Cheryl Rex, R-E-X.
Right, we will track her down, we'll talk to our friends and we will get her on the show.
Thank you Ken, I think you're absolutely right.
We have to keep these stories alive, the ones that this administration wants to bury because they caused the deaths of those brave servicemen and women.
Right, there's so much to pack in here.
This is a tweet from the great Victor Davis Hanson on Kamala's speech yesterday, and I wanted to share with you just the opening words of it.
I think we have the image of the tweet.
I retweeted it.
You can find it on my social media as well.
Headline.
One insulting, sappy Harris speech.
Who would have thought that Harris all this time over the last three and a half years was not really an incumbent, but instead simply a fresh, new, and relatively unknown face?
Did anyone know that the newcomer Harris always had been a pro-Israel hawk, a pro-defense budget hawk, a crime fighter hawk, and along with Tim Walz, a China hawk, and even an Iran hawk, no less?
Did Harris simply ask her staff to find the 10 most important issues in the polls, then find Trump's positions on them and simply appropriate his?
But her most shameless moment was her transmogrification into a border hawk.
This from the co-architect of a destroyed border that has let in 10 million illegals who have wrecked the budgets of dozens of big cities and who are complicit in the importation of fentanyl that kills 100,000 Americans and have fueled a violent crime wave.
Apparently, we the people, whom Harris thinks are clueless, stupid, and amnesiac, must never ask her, when have you ever before said or supported such things?
And why did you not say or do such things when you were the second most powerful person in the United States over the last four years?
And since you are currently still Vice President, serving a debilitated and vanished President, why not do all of these things right now, given you have almost six months left on your term?
And who, contra Harris's allegations, would have ever thought that Trump was responsible for Putin invading Ukraine when his administration was the only one in four over twenty years in which Putin never invaded a foreign country?
So, really, have we seen such a narcissistic and hypocritical rant as Harris' acceptance speech?
But at least we know how she's gonna fix the economy.
Jeff, did you... I mean, that was such a long part of the speech.
Her economic plan for the four years.
How did you stay awake for it?
It was about the same amount that Wall spent on it when he laid out their whole agenda.
It was exactly the same.
It was 40 seconds.
So, this is hilarious.
I mean...
Listen to what Kamala says about how she's going to fix the economy that somebody else broke.
I don't know who broke it.
It couldn't be her, right?
Because she's not in the White House.
Oops.
This is last night Kamala on what she's going to do about Bidenomics cut 4.
That's why we will create what I call an opportunity economy.
An opportunity economy where everyone has the chance to compete and a chance to succeed.
You live in a rural area, small town, or big city.
And as president, I will bring together labor, and workers, and small business owners, and entrepreneurs, and American companies to create jobs, to grow our economy, and to lower the cost of everyday needs like health care, and housing, and groceries.
Hey Eric, did you get it?
She's gonna create an opportunity economy.
Did you get that?
And she's gonna bring together everybody!
Labor, small business, all the people that Democrats have historically supported over the last few years.
You got that, right?
Yeah, that definitely made a lot of sense.
What made it stick for me especially, that monotone tone she uses.
There's no inflection in her voice.
She just keeps the same dull level.
We're gonna bring the economy back.
Like, goodness gracious.
Alex, you understand what a opportunity economy is, right?
All I heard was buzzword, buzzword, buzzword, buzzword.

We are joined, as we are every Friday, when he's not gallivanting across the globe with Senior Counsel to the President of the Heritage Foundation, Colonel Dr. Jim Carafano.
Jim, why were you laughing at the clip I played in the break?
What was it?
Well, let's just play it to our millions of listeners.
Former Director of the CIA and Secretary of Defense, also served in the American Army, said this last night.
Leon Panetta.
Would you play that again, please, Eric?
The one we played in the break.
Kamala. I'm going to play Panetta next.
Don't confuse me, Eric.
How dare you?
Play Kamala, Scott.
That's the one Jim was laughing at.
After decades in law enforcement, I know the importance of safety and security, especially at our border.
Last year, Joe and I brought together Democrats and conservative Republicans to write the strongest border bill in decades.
The Border Patrol endorsed it.
But Donald Trump believes a border deal would hurt his campaign.
So he ordered his allies in Congress to kill the deal.
Now, you literally wrote a textbook that I used before my time in the White House on Homeland Security.
So you know this stuff.
Why did that amuse you?
Because it's a lie.
You know, if gaslighting contributed to global warming, Biden and Harris would have pan fried the world like a year ago.
Look, so the back story on this is, and in fairness, this was a good example of Republicans being stupid, right?
They said, well, Biden wants Ukraine aid, we want Israel aid, we want border security, so we'll make a package, right?
You actually secure the border, and then we'll fund Ukraine, and then you'll fund us.
Israel, right.
So that was the idea.
So what Biden did, actually, was he put a bill on the table, which they did get some Yahoo Republicans to sign off on.
There's no question about it.
The Langford thing.
You can always find a Yahoo.
And they called it a border security bill.
But there was no actual border security in the border security bill.
It actually would have appropriated billions of dollars to efficiently move illegal immigrants into the country faster.
And they had a ridiculous limit, like, well, if 5,000 people cross the border a day, we'll say, OK, we need to do something.
5,000 people was considered OK as a number of illegal entries.
And of course, she just endorsed amnesty for illegal aliens.
So the notion that they're serious about border security is just, I mean, come on.
It's just a lie of monumental proportion.
Now, my friend Armstrong Williams, I just found this posted by somebody else, was outside Chicago.
And I've got to get your take on this, because you said gaslighting.
Let's talk about astroturfing when it comes to the pro-Hamas protesters that were in Chicago.
Because this interview of a black pro-Hamas protester The answers are so telling, and I want to know what's driving this.
Is there a dynamic?
Is there an external player?
So this is Armstrong Williams in Chicago, Cut 17.
And I'm sure, are you spending your own resources to come?
Uh, yeah.
Not really.
Not really, you're not.
You're not spending your own resources.
But why are you here?
To support, you know what I'm saying, a cause that's, you know what I'm saying, greater than any of us can imagine.
What is that cause?
Um, the Palestinian cause.
It's a genocide happening and I can't just sit by and just watch it happen without me supporting my brothers and sisters in Palestine.
What about the issues right here in Chicago in your backyard?
I'm not... Well, I'm from America but not Chicago.
But you care about what happens here, right?
Uh, yeah.
Kind of.
Kind of?
Yeah.
What is defined kind of?
I mean, I don't really live here, so... But you don't live in Israel!
But in Cleveland it's like... But you don't live in Israel!
I know, but they're Muslim brothers and sisters and I'm Muslim, so...
I don't live in Israel, but I don't live in Chicago, but I care about Gaza, and I'm a black American.
And the first thing he said is, I didn't spend my resources to get here.
What's that about you?
So this is very important.
Much like the Black Lives Matter movement, The pro-Palestinian movement, the pro-Hamas movement, is not organic.
It's not something that emerged from the street, like the civil rights movement.
It's not just a bunch of kids saying, let's go down and sit at a lunch encounter.
It's not like the anti-war movement.
Let's go down and... This was a movement that was constructed over years, and it was paid for with money by professional organizers.
Some of it went through organizations like Tides, so some of it is leftist American people, It opens the George Soros Foundation.
Some of it's foreign money, like a lot of it's from Iran and from other places, including
China.
And this is money that has been used to put together professional organizations to put
people on the streets for organized violence and political protests.
You don't have tens of thousands of people show up in Chicago with hotel rooms and pre-printed
signs and instructions on what to do if you're just, hey, let's go fight for Gaza.
So this is manufactured.
And a lot of these people are useful idiots.
Some of them are actually paid to go.
Their expenses are paid.
This is an organized political campaign to change the nature of America.
And the target here is America.
Isn't Israel.
The destruction of Israel is a precursor to the real thing, which is the destruction of America and the transformation of this country.
There's a great guy named Jonathan Shanzer.
I love him.
He's at the Foundation for the Development of Democracy.
He used to be a treasury analyst.
He's testified in cases in court.
He's documented in an unimpeachable way the flow of this money, and it's all A lot of it's not even done through organizations.
They don't even bother to set up like a C4 or a C3 or an NGO or something because then they have to follow rules.
It's just these guys create these kind of amorphous things and they just use the shovel money right and left.
And how serious is this issue?
is the greatest threat that our country is facing.
If you think about that, we're on the verge of having a major political party in the United States actually embrace anti-Semitism as a real thing.
And Harris said nothing last night in her speech to weigh that.
This is poison.
This will destroy the fundamental fabric of this country.

The role of our military is to defend us from foreign enemies.
It is not to threaten Americans and it sure as hell isn't to put immigrants in camps.

Kamala Harris tells tyrants, the hell you can, not on my watch.

That is this bloody Monday.
45.
And I'm going to be doing a little bit of a commentary on the news.
I'm going to be doing a little bit of a commentary on the news.
I'm going to be doing a little bit of a commentary on the news.
And let me tell you something.
When she takes her oath of office, as she will this January, our allies will cheer, our enemies will fear, and we will have a commander-in-chief that we can trust.
Really despicable for a man who served in the Army, rose to Secretary of Defense, and directed the CIA for Obama.
That's Leon Panetta yesterday from the DNC.
Kind of rewriting the history of the last eight years, but it gets worse.
We'll share that with you in a moment.
Car Firearms Group, led by Justin Moon, is the supporter of Second Amendment Friday.
Why?
Well, when he found out that I carry a 9mm car every single day, he said, yeah.
We can do that, and we can express our support for the Second Amendment that makes all the other civil rights possible.
Check out their amazing line of weapons at KAHR.com, including the Desert Eagle line and the Inter Ordnance classic U.S.
military weapons, including the M1 carbine, the Tommy Gun, And the venerable 1911.
That's K-A-H-R dot com, K-A-H-R dot com.
We're back with Dr. Colonel Jim Carafano of the Heritage Foundation.
That was Leon Panetta.
Then this line, this really, this was just so disgusting, talking about my former boss.
This was Kamala Harris talking about America's enemies.
Just a quick cut.
I will never hesitate to take whatever action is necessary to defend our forces and our interests against Iran and Iran-backed terrorists.
I will not cozy up to tyrants and dictators like Kim Jong-un, who are rooting for Trump!
Who are rooting for Trump!
So you don't do politics.
We know that.
But what are the national security implications or just the policy consequences of saying that the leader of the opposition cozies up to bad guys who are rooting for him?
We just had the report from the FBI that Iran was funding a Pakistani national to try and kill President Trump.
Is that the definition of rooting for?
I missed that in the dictionary.
They're just lying.
I mean, I don't know how else to say this.
I mean, now they claim she's a moderate.
That's a lie.
She wants border security.
That's a lie.
She wants to be tough on our enemies.
They're just lies.
So how do you do policy in that environment?
How does D.C.
work?
So here's what I do.
I say, OK, what would a Kamala Harris And thank God they talked about foreign policy.
I was so excited.
What would it actually look like?
And I have two answers for that.
One is, well, I can tell you exactly what it's going to look like because it's the same
playbook.
Obama, Biden, Harris, same people, same playbook.
And the policy is engage and align.
So we all know that Russia, China, Iran, these are America's problem children.
We all get that.
We've seen now through successive presidencies the difference between the way Republicans
and Democrats deal with it.
The Obama policy is you engage these guys, try to figure out what you can give them to
make them be quiet, and then how we can all get along.
So treat them like difficult children.
Well, not even difficult.
Treat them like, you know, a neighbor that's a mean neighbor.
What do you want?
You want access to my pool?
Fine.
You want my dog?
Here, take my dog.
And we also know that it fails.
It's consistently failed.
It failed under Obama, it failed under Biden.
But there's a technical word for that, isn't there?
It's called appeasement.
But here's the other side to that, which is, here's what we don't know, and which they don't know, is what kind of leader will Harris be?
We have this thing.
OK, well, I was there with Joe when we made the decision in Afghanistan.
Well, that's not actually comforting because Biden's always wrong.
So that's that's not a good.
Hopefully that's not a good clue.
But but she actually proudly said she was the last person in the room.
But but here's what will happen.
Our enemies will test her.
They know the playbook, but that's different than knowing the players on the field.
They know how these guys operate, but they don't know, will she blink?
How much can I get away with?
So what we will see is if Harris is president, the first thing they'll do is they'll start poking her to see what they can get away with.
And then of course, how will she respond to that?
Will she be calm and collected and cool and strategic?
Will she be crazy?
Or will she cave like a cheap suit?
We just don't know.
Now, what do you think, let's red team for a second, we've got like a minute left.
If you are one of those bad actors, they've got 74 days left before maybe my old boss comes back.
Does that mean pressure is on for them to do something now they may not get away with in the future?
What do you think?
I think the Russians have very limited options.
I think the Chinese are patient enough to wait.
The real question to me is the Iranians, because they do have a card that they can play, which would dramatically be a game-changer, and that is just to declare nuclear status, their nuclear power.
Because we know that Biden-Harris will do nothing.
They will do nothing.
And so that will just be a reality that's out there till January.
No.
And even if Trump is president, he'll walk in and he can't undo that.
And he's not going to start World War III and he's not going to do regime change.
So that would be the game changer.
So that's the one wild card that might be played.
But the problem, you're Iran, you can only drop that card once.
Once, right.
And if it's a bluff and somebody pulls, calls your bluff, that's why we have Jim on the show.
What a great, great analysis.

This is Second Amendment Friday on America First, brought to you by Carr Firearms.
I thank the good Lord every single day that for the time being we still remain the freest nation on God's green earth, and how do we do that?
With the Second Amendment.
No company understands that better than the Car Firearms Group, helmed by the great Justin Moon, who understands that this is our final line of defense against tyranny.
It is the civil right that makes all other civil rights possible.
There's a reason I carry a 90mm car every single day, because this quality weapon is one I trust with my life.
But this company also owns the iconic Desert Eagle line of Hollywood iconic weapons and the historic Inter Ordnance line as well, including the M1 Carbine, the venerable Tommy Gun and the legendary 1911.

The AR-15 is the most popular weapon in America, at least center fire.
I think the 10-22 Ruger is the most popular 22.
But this AR, well it's very special.
Let's have a quick look.
The ability to pull it out of a backpack and easily put it together as a 5.56 Magazine in, rack around, and you're ready to engage.
It just came out of a tiny bag!
And you created a whole rifle!
How did he do that?
Let's ask the man in the video and the lady who produces these superb weapons.
Welcome to America First, Victor Marks and Melody Hall.
Good to be here, brother.
Hi!
So, Melody, we've had you and your lesser half on the show discussing this Fold AR.
I have one, thanks to you guys.
It's tiny.
It fits into like a fanny pack.
It unfolds so incredibly quickly.
Tell us the genesis, before we talk about Victor and the very exciting plans you have for this weapon.
What is the genesis?
How did you get this idea?
So our inventor, Corby, he's my husband also, but he came out with the product about seven years ago.
And he came out with it because he was looking for a way to get the AR to be more compact and decided to take the barrel nut off.
And then when he figured that out, he figured that you could also fold it.
And after a lot of testing and a couple of years of development, you know, he made this a possibility.
It's an incredible weapon, not just because of the concept, but because it works.
And I can attest the quality of manufacture is, it's top tier.
I would trust my life to this weapon.
But Mr. Marx, we have to get you back because you're a very famous person whose name I have heard bandied around for years now.
So we're going to get you back.
For our manhood hour.
Colby and Melody told me this week you have a very ambitious plan.
Tell us what your plan is.
So we're playing in the background this b-roll that we got from the halls where you see a safety officer, a school police officer respond to a shooting incident, theoretical one, in the first manner, which is the usual.
Get out to his patrol vehicle, get his rifle, make it ready, come back into the building.
It took him a minute and a half.
The second version is with the Fold AR, which he's carrying on his back.
And I think it's deployed within about nine seconds or something, which is why the Fold AR is amazing.
So what is your mission now, Victor?
Well, I'll tell you, everyone knows that time in a critical life and death situation makes the biggest difference.
And this weapon platform, not only being an outstanding high end platform to shoot, it is absolutely the best product in order to engage a hostile threat in a school bar none.
And again, with it being carried in a backpack, It keeps the level of anxiety down for students to watch.
So we know this is a lifesaver.
And what we want to do is to be able to see every resource officer, first starting in the state of Texas, have one of these.
And then it's spreading throughout the United States so that our children will be made safe.
And I know this may be at the beginnings of the mission.
You're coming to us from a foreign nation.
You're helping innocents who are under the gun right now.
And God bless you in the all things possible ministries and everything you do, Mr. Marks.
Can we imagine a charity or a place that people will be able to donate so every public safety officer, school safety officer in the nation could have one of Melody's folding ARs?
Yeah, absolutely.
Our organization right now, we've already tested this by providing a donation platform to allow a school system, an independent school system, to get the resource officers these weapons.
And what a great feeling to know that kids are protected, our most precious resource in our nation.
So if people want to contact us at All Things Possible Ministries, they can shoot us an email, we can explain how we can facilitate that.
The other good news is in the state of Texas, there's money available if we can just get an adjustment on the legislation of money that's already in the fund that can provide these for every independent school district in the state.
And Melody, there is a little bit of irony here, isn't there?
That we've just witnessed four days in Chicago of the DNC, where everything was guarded, they put up a wall, you had to have ID to get in, and police everywhere.
Shouldn't our children be as protected as political activists at a convention?
Absolutely.
And right now, if they don't have a full day R in those schools, then they're basically like sitting ducks.
And this is the best tool that they could possibly have.
for a fast result to take care of a threat in our schools.
All right, let's play that video again quickly in the background.
This is amazing.
So this is the time comparison between a resource officer hearing of a threat and being just inside the building having to get his weapon.
The clock starts.
He pushes that girl into a safe room, runs outside, pulls his side down, which is going to help him if he's having to deal with like the The transgender shooter in Nashville, he needs his rifle, has to go out to the trunk of his car, get the full-length AR out of its case, clear it, make sure it's ready to rock.
Then once he's done that, we're at like 22 seconds already, he has to get back into the building before he begins the search for the perpetrator or the suspected active shooter.
So he's not even back in the building and we've already burnt 40 seconds.
Then, if we do the comparison with the Fold AR, which is this tiny package that's sitting on his back.
I have one that sits on my belt like a small little fanny pack.
It is absolutely minuscule.
So you do the comparison.
And here we go.
Start the clock again.
Alarm sounds.
Active shooter.
He does the same thing.
Gets the little girl into the safe classroom.
Takes off his pack.
Opens it.
The clock is at five seconds, six seconds, seven seconds, eight, nine seconds!
And he's rocked!
He's rolling.
Guys, you are doing the Lord's work, protecting the most precious thing in our society, the children.
Follow our friends at Victor Marks and the All Things Possible ministry and FoldAR.com.

20 seconds.
I'll come in with 10.
Come in with 10.
10 seconds.
I'll come in with 10.
Come in with 10.
10 seconds.
This whole thing has been an implicit critique of problems that we've had on the left.
The left before we walked in here was about justice, diversity, trigger warnings, reparations for the past, and a bunch of party poopers and scolds.
That was the knock on the left.
We have gone from talking about justice, which is wonderful, but now it's about freedom.
It's not just about diversity, it's about patriotism.
It's not just about trigger warnings.
In fact, that's gone.
It's tough, tough, tough.
Reparations for the past?
No.
Fight for the future.
Party poopers?
No.
We legalize fun!
We legalize fun!
What does that mean?
Were they smoking like, you know, weed?
Jeff, what is it with... I really don't know what beat to draw on Van Jones.
Is he like clickbait merchant?
Does he believe what he says?
He said he's a communist.
What is it with this guy?
No, I think he is right.
He just listed everything that they've been talking about for 10 years that people can't stand and they're lying about it and pretending that they're not for that stuff anymore.
You mean like they're big patriots now?
Yes, exactly.
But why is he saying it?
To give them more cover?
I think so, to make it act like they're nice people again.
What was, oh, and I said I'm going to play it again.
This is the most cynical thing.
So now I'm going to tee it up.
We just came in with it earlier, but, but, so this is the most left-wing podcast in America.
Podcast.
What is it?
What is it, Eric?
Pod Save America, right?
Pod Save America.
Run by Obama White House appointees.
That's all you need to know.
They have Kevin Newsom on during the DNC.
During the convention and they talk about how they chose Kamala.
Just listen.
This is the governor of California.
How are you feeling about the switch?
I mean, the switch.
Now we went through a very open process, a very inclusive process.
I was bottom up. I don't know if you know that.
Yes, that's what I've been told to say.
Yes, it was a blitz primary, I believe. That's what they called it.
It was a very, very fast blitz.
I think it was a blink primary, so we call that.
Oh, a 30-minute convention, you know, between tweet and another tweet.
It's amazing how it happened.
Yeah, it's been amazing. But what is amazing is how unified everybody is.
in his next level.
I asked Jeff's opinion.
Eric, your reaction to seeing that just complete open cynicism about their own party and how she was selected?
I mean, the fact that it's Gavin Newsom is really interesting because you have not heard any other Democrat talk like that.
And what have we talked about before on the show?
Jeff and others have speculated.
Newsom knows the score.
He probably knows this is not going to go well for the Kamala Waltz ticket.
And he's just basically wiping his hands clean of this so that If they lose, you know, God willing, knock on wood, Trump wins, he can come back four years later and say, hey, I had nothing to do with that mess four years ago, that's why you should nominate me this time.
Jeff, do you think he's jealous that he's not the nominee?
No, I think he's thrilled.
Because then, because she can screw up and then he can run.
And then he's got it open.
But you know what I thought about when there, that clip?
Remember Biden, when he was in Florida and he told the guy that no one Fs with a Biden?
Yes.
Looks like his whole party just did.
They all did.
What was it?
50,000 of them all this week in Chicago.
How did that party come to be what it is?
We have the full story with the receipts.

Hello!
Secretary Bryce, this is Commander Farrell.
The officer I mentioned?
You recall he's had experience on the Joint Staff and Naval Intelligence.
Pleased to meet you, sir.
Everyone I know is looking forward to serving under you for another term.
You must have very limited acquaintances.
Tom and I were in college together.
Good.
He has great warmth.
He's a genius!
Oh?
The normal rules don't apply.
No.
Some people think you're really the brain.
Do they?
Is that supposed to flatter me?
He's the most extraordinary person I've ever met in my life.
If it came to it, I'd lay down my life for him.
Is that a job requirement?
I'd lay down my life for him.
A bit of foreshadowing.
Chekhov's gun, if you see it in Act 1.
It's gonna have to be used by Act 3.
The beginnings of the movie that many may not have heard of.
It is superlative.
Four out of four by Robert Ebert was the grade for No Way Out from 1987.
And my co-host in Making Movies Great Again came to this a virgin.
He didn't know what it was.
And so I have to ask him, with a little trepidation, I got a thumbs up informally, but I have to know, Chris Coles of the Mr. Reagan Channel, did you enjoy my choice for this week?
This movie was absolutely fantastic.
There was only one drawback, one drawback, and that was a pretty cheesy score.
I have to say, I'm not sure who did this score or why they did it the way they did it, but in the 80s and in the 90s they had this synthesized music that I always associate with sort of cheap movies, And I guess maybe because Kevin Costner wasn't a star yet.
I believe he did The Untouchables the same year as this movie came out.
So he hadn't yet become a big star.
And so I think this might have been a smaller budget film or something because, man, everything about this movie is perfect.
Except for that damn score.
Yeah, it wasn't a big budget movie.
It was 15 million dollars.
But Eric, the music is from a very famous French composer.
Who are we talking about?
That is none other than Maurice Jarre, who I'm most well known as the composer of one of my favorite movies of all time, Dead Poets Society.
Right, so this is a guy, very famous composer, his son Jean-Michel Jarre, big, big recording artist, did the famous album Oxygen, but they did like the synthesizers, so this movie is superb.
It's called, and you're the guy that, you know, is an actor, you've written scripts, this falls into the category of neo-noir, and I think it's a movie for the ages except for the soundtrack which does date it to the 1980s so um does that mean anything to you let's start here because this is based on a book shockingly a book from 1946 called the big clock yeah it's based on a noir book the big clock by Kenneth Freeling who
Had this book made into movies twice before this one.
So, you know, this, I didn't even know this, that there was a French movie, an American movie that came before this one.
It's a thriller for me.
Does that label neo-noir mean something to you, Chris?
Yeah, I would say so.
Yeah, yeah, definitely.
I mean, there is a sort of a whodunit aspect to it, a kind of, you know, there It is suspenseful, for sure.
It's a little bit of a chess game, this movie.
That's what I felt like I was watching as I was watching the film.
One thing that really struck me was we're watching now them just walk through, you know, sort of the inner corridors, the back hallways around Washington, D.C.
And you've been in Washington, D.C., and you can actually talk about how realistic this was.
But I felt like, even though I've never really been in the You know, the back rooms and the hallways of Washington, D.C.
I felt like this this seemed realistic to me.
You know, I've been in movie movie studios, Warner Brothers, Paramount, all these major studios, huge studios, Sony, which used to be MGM, the biggest studio in Hollywood.
And I can tell you the offices and the hallways in these studios are kind of crap.
I mean, they're not exactly what you would expect.
I expected like velvet curtains and, you know, you know, rooms that look like castles, interiors and things.
But no.
It looks kind of like a normal office building for the most part.
And I'm just curious, did this ring true to you as a depiction of Washington, D.C.?
Well, I'm so glad you raised this.
You are a flipping mind reader.
Will you play this B-roll again as they're walking through the Pentagon?
I have to tell you guys I got the heebie-jeebies watching this movie because I lived in DC in the 90s and this isn't a set this is the pentagon the staircase they just walk up right there I have been through those doors a hundred times that is the glass door into the courtyard inside the pentagon that had the hot dog stand that was called ground laughingly called ground zero because that's what they thought would be the first target of any soviet nuke it would land on the hot dog stand in the middle of the pentagon in the courtyard and this the secretary's office i've walked past the set that is the secretary's office these corridors are not sets and when they come out from the ballroom in the in the first scene where he meets short young
That hotel is still there.
That hotel is where they used to hold CPAC.
And you've been to DC.
You've been to the new location of CPAC.
But for me, you know, this was, whether it's the New Zealand ambassador's reception, the corridors of the Pentagon, the scuzzy basement offices of the Pentagon.
Chris, this is one of the most authentic uh location movies ever because none of this i mean maybe the bedroom you know scenes were filmed in in a in a set but the rest of it chris you're right it's dc it's the real locations and just well is this the opening i hadn't eric is this the opening tracking i wanted to mention this this open this is a one take shot that is the whole credit sequence flying across dc i just love this
Yeah, no, there's a lot of stuff like that, like details that I thought, well, is this a set?
Because if this is a set, they did not romanticize it for the film.
It really looked like this is where you would actually work day in and day out.
I assume it's a little bit different now than it was At the time of shooting this film, which I think was probably like 1986 or something like that.
Yeah.
But but yeah, it just felt real to me.
And I think that's I mean, obviously a testament to the fact that it was real.
So I didn't know.
I just thought they were that good.
But that's fantastic to know that that all of us said, you know, that they actually shot on location.
We can get into other things, talk about other things, but that I think deserves to be This film was pretty brilliantly cast.
Yes.
I can't think of a single actor in this film who I thought really dropped the ball or anything like that.
I didn't even think about it until this very second, literally just this very second.
But there were You know, actors, what you would call in today's parlance, actors of color.
I didn't even think about that.
You know why I didn't think about that?
Because they were just cast correctly.
Because it didn't matter.
It didn't matter.
It wasn't an ideological decision.
That's exactly my point.
Like, I just felt like everybody was sort of, like, organically cast in these parts.
Gene Hackman obviously plays the villain, if that's not obvious.
I mean, within, like, a couple of minutes of watching the film, you know he's going to be the baddie, as they say in the UK.
And his friend, who I didn't realize until it was mentioned by the illustrious Fred Thompson, It's a key plot point.
It's not about DEI.
Because he doesn't have the sort of typical, you know, affectations that you would expect
with that.
But he does a fantastic job.
And it's a key plot point.
It's not about DEI.
We're going to discuss how it is central to the denouement of the movie and the interesting
denouement because it's kind of half open, half closed.
We're talking no way out.
It is the classic 1987 movie, Roger Donaldson.
Really, along with Untouchables, the movie that made Kevin Costner a star, with Gene Hackman, with Sean Young, with Iman.
Remember her?
The muse of Karl Lagerfeld, the model David Bowie's wife.

What's all this top-secret business I've been hearing about over at the Pentagon?
Here's what we do have.
CID is running a phone check.
They're looking for all calls placed to a Susan Atwell.
Who's she?
Well, she's in the morgue at Fort Meade.
She was murdered last night.
We know anything about it?
Get ready for this.
We think she's either David Bryce's or Scott Pritchard's mistress.
Well, she was seen with both of them.
It didn't seem a high priority matter, so my people have been a little lax in following it up.
Well, spilt milk.
And you can forget about Pritchard.
He's homosexual.
I'll be damned.
Well, so will he if you believe the Old Testament.
Just great writing.
I'll be damned.
Well, so will he be, if you believe the Old Testament.
That is the great, late senator.
That's why it's authentic.
He's not just an actor.
He would become Senator Fred Thompson, playing Director Marshal of the CIA.
Halfway through the story, as the squeeze has been murdered, Sean Young.
She is the paramour of not only the Secretary of Defense, but our lead, Kevin Costner.
Eric had a little complaint here.
Not enough Fred Thompson.
We loved him in The Hunt for Red October.
What an iconic actor who actually became a senator, Chris.
And the way he delivers that line.
Well, you can forget about Pritchard.
It's homosexual.
I mean, I just listen to the way he says it.
It just cracks me up.
I mean, brilliantly.
And you know what?
Everyone, I was actually quite shocked with Kevin Costner's performance here because the way he acts is so naturalistic from the very first scene of this movie.
And he's such a young actor here.
I mean, this is like, like, like we're saying, like this is one of his first ever roles, you know, leading roles.
And he does it with with just such a sort of casual, you know, cavalier way.
And of course, Gene Hackman is perfect.
Now, I will say Sean Young stunning in this film.
I would actually say she's more beautiful than in Blade Runner after she dies.
I am shocked at how sad Kevin Costner's character was because, you know, after all, she was just a Good, good time girl.
I forgot what the word is.
A good time gal.
No, not a good time.
No, a replicant.
She was just a replicant.
She was a Nexus 6!
Yeah, I don't understand why it was so sad.
But yeah, actually throughout the film... Hang on guys, this scene here, this is my drive to the studio every day.
That is the Georgetown Parkway.
That's true!
Let me just tell you, this is not the Hollywood Hills.
You have been on that road in my Mustang, dude.
Yes, I am!
You've driven me through here.
I do recognize it.
I didn't recognize it until you mentioned it.
But listen, from the very early on in the film, I thought, oh, this is bad news, man.
What?
This is bad news.
You never fall in love with a prostitute.
Why would you fall in love with a prostitute?
I'm just like, what is it?
And you know what's really funny?
I genuinely have a story about this happening here to a good buddy of mine here in Bali.
Are you going to tell us about your problems with ladies of negotiable affection?
Not no, no, no, no, no, this is a friend of mine.
She wasn't a prostitute.
But just the other day, we're having a drink over at the British pub, which I showed you a video of.
Yeah.
And, and my, my buddy's like, all broken hearted because he met this girl that, you know, they had this connection, whatever.
You know, she took him home and everything like that.
And the next morning, she pretended like nothing happened.
She was not interested in him.
She barely knew him.
He realized that she was in a long-term relationship with another guy.
And that was just like a fling for her.
And he had allowed himself to fall in love with this girl that took him home the first night he met her.
And I'm just like, man, you cannot let yourself fall in love with girls like that.
But he did.
He hadn't seen this movie, clearly.
He hadn't seen this movie, clearly.
Yeah, clearly.
With regards to the natural, look how skinny he is here.
Look at these little kind of, you know, the short pants and the skinny legs.
Kevin Costner was 32 when he filmed this.
It's not just his naturalism, and you're right, he brings a kind of effortlessness to it.
Also, when it's hot and heavy, when it gets emotional and dramatic, it's just so flipping believable.
There's this scene we'll play now.
of the senator coming in to blackmail the secretary of defense on his favorite sub project and he gets his way and then as he leaves Hackman just loses it and throws everything he's holding in his hand at his chief counsel.
Let's play that clip.
Mr. Pritchard, I'm encouraged by your attitude.
I'm sure your investigation, whatever it is, is perfectly proper.
I must apologize for my unseemly outburst.
It's just that I've been sorely troubled.
Well, that's perfectly understandable, Senator.
I'm certain that we can reach an accommodation.
Gentlemen, I'm deeply gratified.
Deeply gratified and I I hope you'll forgive my imposition on such a busy day
He's got it This is insane!
It's out of control!
Your cover story's not gonna hold water!
Yes, it will.
But you have to have more moral courage.
Just the scuzziness.
I mean, complete Washington.
They're lying to each other's faces.
He's got him by the gonads.
And then I'm not sure in rehearsal if, you know, Will Patton had that package of files flung at his face the way we just saw it.
Because he looks pretty, pretty surprised.
But I'm sorry, the anger there, it just looks so real, Chris.
No, no.
Yeah.
Every every little detail of the performances here is magic.
I don't know how I've never heard of this film.
It's just so damn good.
But you know what was really interesting?
What's really poignant, I think, to today's audience.
I honestly feel like this was a more innocent time.
Like, I can imagine that in the early 80s or in the mid 80s, you know, mid 80s, That this was a kind of an unusual circumstance, where you would get people in Washington, D.C.
with, okay, now we've got some dirt on this guy, we can manipulate him to get what we want, kind of thing.
The way Fred Thompson reacts to discovering the fact that this high-ranking official has accidentally killed a woman, and he's now in a position where he can be blackmailed, I'm going to use the word again.
I used it a little bit earlier with regard to acting.
I'm going to use it with regard to his response.
He is very cavalier about this.
He just acts like this is sort of like ordinary Washington business.
He says something which almost sounds like he's sorry for the guy because he knows he's going to go through hell now.
Yeah, he's in a position where they've got him.
What's fascinating about that to me is I feel like this is how everyone is dealt with in Washington, D.C.
today.
I don't think it's just an occasional head of state or head of a department or like an occasional senator or something like that.
I feel like everyone now is compromised in D.C.
or at least everyone on the left for sure.
And then you've got some scuzzy people on the right.
We call them rhinos, of course.
But I feel like there's so many people that have dirt on them.
You know, they just released this, you know, this report on Joe Biden and his bribes, the stuff that we've known about for, you know, five or six years or however long it's been.
And, you know, they've just come out with this and it's like, really?
You're going to come out with all this evidence now after he's already left office?
You know what I mean?
You couldn't have come out with this in 2020 when it mattered.
But I feel like that's how Washington works now.
And watching this film, it kind of illustrates all of that from a time when maybe it wasn't Everybody was like that, but this film really illustrates how we have to drain the swamp, how we have to cut out the cancer of corruption in Washington, D.C., and why we so desperately need Donald Trump back in office.
Yeah, to paraphrase what you just said, The reason this movie worked in 1987 is because the scumminess that is the centrality of the movie was exceptional.
It was, you know, a big deal.
Today, oh, 27 million from China?
Ah, no biggie, that's what everybody's doing.
Having sex with Chinese spies, you know, Fang Fang and Eric Swalwell.
That's the standard today.
Back then, it was exceptional and that's why it made for an amazing movie.
Isn't that shocking?
Yeah.
Feng Feng, the whole Feng Feng situation and he's on committees dealing with this, I mean, it's just, it's really unbelievable.
And still got a clearance!
Eric Swalwell still, to this day, we have a member of Congress who cannot say the following sentence, and I've challenged him.
Can you say, I never had sex with a Chinese spy?
There is a member of Congress who cannot say that one sentence, which could have been the plot of a movie 40 years ago, because it would have been bloody unusual.
Not today.

Now, I doubt these lines were in the original book from 1946.
It actually started off as a short story in a magazine.
But, you know, you appreciate good writing.
Just that 50-second interchange, you're impressed with me.
No, I'm not.
Yes, you are.
And he walks off.
I mean, come on, Chris.
How good is that?
I will say, this was one of the few moments that I thought, that's not exactly right.
Ooh, go ahead.
How would Chris Coles do it?
Well, I wouldn't, I just wouldn't have used those words specifically.
They were a little bit unnatural.
Generally speaking, they got the flirtation pretty close.
I mean, one thing when I was younger growing up and I would watch these movies where, you know, a cool guy would hit on a hot chick and, you know, he would, you know, get her, you know, she would, she would be like interested in him or whatever.
I thought that's how it really worked because I didn't know, you know, I'm like eight years old.
I don't know how to pick up a girl, you know, so watching these movies and TV shows.
And then as I got older and I started being able to do this myself, Uh, you know, I'd go back and I'd watch a movie and I'd say, that would not work.
That wouldn't work.
Uh, now this movie does it pretty well.
I'm watching this whole sequence, you know, from the moment he meets her to, I think the movie really starts going about 40 minutes into the movie.
A lot of this movie is just the romance between these two characters.
And a lot of it I'm thinking like I'm feeling like I'm having deja vu.
I feel like they're shooting like a scene out of my life.
They did a pretty dang good job.
But one lot one little line, which is you're pretty impressed with me, aren't you?
You wouldn't say impressed with me.
You wouldn't say something like that.
But you would say you would say something.
Similar to that, I feel like.
But sometimes if you say the wrong thing a little bit wrong, sometimes it does kind of work.
So I could imagine that that would potentially charm her.
But why?
Why?
Why?
Was it too strong?
Why did it not fit into the Chris Coles book of romance?
I don't think that anyone would actually in real life say the words impressed with me.
Maybe that's just a thing because it's the 1980s and it just felt weird.
I would never say impressed.
I don't know of anyone who would say you're pretty impressed with me.
That seems weird.
You might say something like you like me or you think that I'm handsome or you're attracted to the suit or something, you know, something more specific.
You're impressed with me.
Seems like you did something impressive or something, which he didn't really do.
He just looked good, I think.
And so I just don't think those words worked.
But other than that, it was pretty perfect, actually.
Look, it's a great line, but what you say is borne out by the rest of the movie, because That, you're so impressed with me, is arrogant, right?
And the rest of the movie, he's not arrogant, right?
He's trying to save people, he's, you know, running away from the mercenaries to save, you know, Sean Young's girlfriend.
He's not a douche, right?
That's a kind of douche comment, but I will say the right- It's a writerly type thing, like something a writer thought sounded clever.
It's artifice.
It's neat, but it's artifice.
Although I will say, the scene afterwards in the limo where they do what they do, and then they do what they do, and then afterwards they say, hi, my name's Tom.
What's your name?
That was good writing, too.
That was good writing, too.
Oh, no, excellent.
Actually, you know what?
If you're going for stylistic, that line is actually fine.
And then when they introduce themselves afterwards, that actually made me sit there and think for a second.
Does that happen?
Because I don't think I've ever experienced that specifically.
That was an interesting moment as well, but it was good.
It makes you think and it makes you think, which is good.
And I was also thinking like, yeah, which is good.
And it did.
You know, it also made me think like, you know, this is an interesting idea
to get two very attractive people in a believable scene to kind of like each other
from the very moment they see each other.
And like, how does that relationship evolve?
How do they end up hanging out together, let's just say.
And that's something most human beings can never experience because most human beings aren't going to be as handsome
and charming as Kevin Costner or as stunningly beautiful as.
as the heroine whose name I forgot, Shawn Young.
And so they're never gonna be able to experience that.
And so they kind of get to experience vicariously through these characters.
And I actually think it was a pretty good job.
I think they did a pretty dang good job.
I just love the way she bounces as she's watching him.
To the music, she does this little wiggle, wiggle, so subtle.
It's just, you know, it is artificial, but it is entertaining.
And we're talking about it.

Alright, um, I'm the man.
If it doesn't keep moving towards a coherent image, we just adjust the program.
You mean you could stop it and make it go in another direction?
We've been doing that all along.
It looks like it's doing fine now.
I'm not so sure.
I think it's time we had a talk.
I'm the one in the picture, Sam.
The great George Dzunza, who is one of the victims of this movie.
I didn't know this or I'd forgotten it.
What an amazing backstory.
His parents were from Ukraine and were forced into a labor camp by the Nazis.
Ended up as refugees and he was born in occupied, in what was or had been occupied Europe.
In 1946.
I love this guy, super underrated actor.
Talk to me about the cast and what you thought of this guy.
Yeah, no, he was, like I said, everybody is perfect.
You know, this guy ends up kind of flaking out, the character ends up kind of flaking out a little bit.
And let me tell you, Every single time I have been in a situation in which I've been accused of murder and I tell my friend in a wheelchair, he always rats me out and then ends up getting shot.
Don't you hate that?
Don't you hate that?
Again, it's so true to life.
It's so weird.
Yeah.
Yeah, that was a little bit of a disappointing moment in the film, but in terms of the three-act structure, you want this to end like this in a way.
As a writer, I look at the craft and I think this was really done by the book.
You have this moment where You think all is lost.
The main character is in a no-win situation.
He can't get out, and he finally pulls it out at the very last second.
It doesn't all sort of come together exactly perfectly at the end, but then there is a twist, and this twist is a very powerful twist, and it's a good moment.
At the end of the film that kind of explains away a lot of the stuff that was maybe a little bit messy earlier in the film.
Criticisms that maybe I had earlier were explained away by this twist at the end of the film.
And I'm wondering, does the novel or the short story you mentioned, does that have the twist at the end?
I'm quite impressed, but if it doesn't, I don't know.
I mean, it does feel a little bit tacked on.
It doesn't.
It has nothing to do with the military, with spies.
It's the cover-up of a murder.
It's just a complete noir novel.
Yeah, because that's the only thing I didn't like about the ending, is it felt a little tacked on, like they thought, oh, here's an idea that we could just put a twist at the end.
I would have hinted at it more throughout the film.
But isn't it a great shock ending?
Oh, fantastic.
The twist is quite good at the end where you say, okay, ah, this this is that that actually makes sense.
And it's a little bit of a You know, it's not just a twist in the story.
It sort of twists your guts up.
Yeah.
Oh, holy smokes.
You know, it's it's really like a sort of mind blowing moment.
And and so, yeah, it was a good move.
It was a smart idea to end the film this way and then to, you know, to bookend the film with that scene.
Right.
So you start out with that scene.
Then you go back, you tell the story of the movie and then you end with the scene.
That's a smart thing to do.
Yeah, I was quite happy with that with that because I write that way.
In fact, I wrote a script which has a very similar twist, actually, like almost exactly the same kind of thing, which is really funny.
I'll tell you about it off camera sometime because we don't actually want to give this twist away.
We're not going to be so good.
This movie's so good we want you to watch it.
We're not, we decided beforehand, Eric agreed, we are not going to give away the Denouement because it is a punch in the gut twist and it's a shocker and it's amazing and it's great.

We just showed the chase scene.
Kevin Costner wants to save the life of Shawn Young's girlfriend after she's been murdered.
Run across D.C.
I mean, you know, it's Whitehurst Freeway.
It's these famous routes into D.C., down by the river, the Boat house where my children used to, you know, row crew.
I love this scene.
For me, the two goons, I don't know if you recognize them, one of them is a character actor who's been in a million movies.
He actually played, he played the resistance leader in, what was that Schwarzenegger sci-fi?
Oh, Total Recall.
Total Recall.
The Quatu, the mutant leader who comes out of another guy's belly.
One of the Green Beret Special Forces guys is Quatu from Total Recall.
Couple of reviews back then, in 87, said that this movie just stretches credulity and isn't plausible.
I think that's bunkum.
I think there's nothing in it when you say, oh, that would be impossible.
We had Soviet spies.
We had the penetration of the Pentagon.
We had a presidential candidate who got caught, you know, having hanky-panky on a boat.
And the photograph with him in the monkey business t-shirt sank his campaign because he's hanging around with beautiful young women.
So what do you think of this criticism of the time that, oh no, oh, it's just, it's not believable, Chris?
Well, you know, I think that there is a kind of naivete that some people have.
I would say, you know, when I was six years old at the time that this movie was shot, seven years old when it came out.
Are you younger than me?
I forgot.
Are you younger than me?
He's still bitter about Kurt saying that you could be my father.
And I will be forever.
But let's just go on a slight tangent now.
Because today I witnessed something, ladies and gentlemen, that a few people have probably ever witnessed.
I saw the actions of a gentleman.
And I won't get into the details.
You know what I'm about to say.
He often gives me crap about the women that I date.
They're maybe a little bit too young.
No, no, it's advice.
It's not crap.
It is fatherly advice.
Yes, okay.
Sebastian Gorka.
I'm with him on, you know, a set, let's say.
Another show, another show.
There was an attractive woman talking to Sebastian Gorka, and she said something extremely flirtatious.
Rarely in life have I seen a woman speak so flirtatiously to a man.
And Sebastian Gorka responded, Essentially, I'm not going to give you the exact words, because maybe she's watching, with essentially, yes, I am a nerd.
And then kept talking.
He basically just dismissed the flirtation completely.
This was the most deft act of dismissing flirtation I've ever seen from a gentleman, from a married man, dismissing the flirtations of a beautiful woman.
I thought it was fantastic.
I have to give you credit, sir, for that, because I would have gone along with it at least a little bit.
That is the difference between us and that's why you're halfway around the globe doing what you do.
I will explain to you privately why I reacted the way I reacted and I think it will surprise you.
Hopefully you won't be disappointed.
But gallantry is alive and well and we should all try to be gentlemen.
Thank you kindly.
Okay, so much more to discuss and only a few clips left.
In the meantime, let's pay the rent.

What was it like being on the set with Gene Hackman?
Well, Gene, you know, people ask all the time, you know, who's the best actor, who's the biggest star, who's the blah blah blah.
The line's long for the great actors I've been able to work with, it really is.
But I would say, probably, Gene was the best actor that I'd ever worked with.
Gene Hackman, the best actor I've ever worked with.
As we were watching this last night with Katie, Katie said, oh that Gene Hackman, you can so believe that guy is a complete heartless beep, right?
Talk to us about the antagonist, who at the end, when his chief counsel shoots himself, he tries to blame everything on the guy who just committed suicide, Chris!
Yeah, no, I mean, every every line delivered by Gene Hackman is absolutely believable.
What's interesting is you notice how how Who's the main actor?
Costner.
I'm so bad with names.
Yeah, you see how Costner is in that interview, right?
How he's just sort of thinking about what he needs to say next and then sort of casually expressing, you know, it's sort of like how your dad would talk if you guys were watching TV and he just wanted to say something about something, you know, blah, blah, blah, whatever, your uncle, something.
He has a sort of natural attitude when he's giving the interview.
But if you watch the movie, he's that way in the movie, too.
Right.
Right.
And to me, this is actually what great acting is, at least for film.
And this is how I do it as well.
The way you have to perform in a movie, yeah, sometimes it has to be a little bit stylized here and there, but for the most part, you're kind of just reacting naturally as you would react in real life.
To me, that's the best acting.
You're not really changing your personality.
People always want to show their range.
To me, that's BS.
No.
You just want to If I was in this same situation as the character, how would I respond?
And then that's how you do it.
And Gene Hackman does it perfect.
And I don't know if Costner learned from Gene Hackman at all, but he seems to have that level as well.
And I gotta hand it to Costner.
He's pretty dang high up there in my estimation in terms of his abilities.
I think, yeah, both of them in this movie were essentially perfection.
And Fred Thompson as well.
And I've got to say, I only discovered this recently because he's still doing things.
New movies, new TV shows.
I watched a lengthy interview with Costner, you know, just not actors.
Was it Actor's Studio?
It may have been.
And the guy is smart.
He's well-read.
He's educated.
And he's not mugging it up for the camera.
He's not falling for the, you know, flattery of the interviewer.
He's just a guy who's confident in and of himself.
He told this interesting story in the rest of the interview I just played where there's a scene in the office between Hackman and Costner where Where the director wanted to do it one way, where they were seated or something.
And Costa said, no, we've been seated the whole time.
I'm going to stand up and I'm going to come around the table, because that's how it's going to work.
And it's unnatural if we're both seated.
And he just demanded.
And look, he's like a 32-year-old nobody at this point.
He's starred in one movie that isn't even out yet.
And he just demanded from the director, from Donaldson, I'm sorry, I'm going to act it this way.
And when Gene comes in, he'll be fine with it because he's a pro.
Afterwards, they're leaving the lot.
That means it must have been a set.
So this must have been one of the few sets they use.
And they're leaving the lot and Hackman walks over to Costner and Costner thinks, oh crap, Gene Hackman is going to chew me out for thinking I get to tell the director how to film a scene.
And Hackman went to this 32-year-old and said, I like what you did today.
When you know it's going to work, you stick to that.
And that's not usually what you hear from Hollywood, right, Chris?
Well, you know, it's really weird.
Of all the sets that I was ever on, I can tell you that actors get scared of directors.
I don't know what it is.
They get scared of the director.
They get scared of the producer.
You know, it's strange.
They're delivering their lines with all the confidence in the world and then the director says something and they're like, OK, yeah, whatever you want.
And they turn into like the little mice, you know.
And I always would talk to my friends and other actors and I would say, you know, you got to kind of work with the director sometimes.
I was on a pretty big movie.
It was called Bombshell about Fox News.
Yeah.
And, you know, this And I had a line and I'm sitting in the little cubicle area, which they call pods, apparently in Fox.
I'm sitting in the pod with with Margot Robbie.
We got to do this scene.
I have one line.
I just have one line.
And I'm trying to deliver this line and it's not working.
The director comes over to me and he goes, uh, the line's really not working.
And I go, yeah, because it doesn't, that's not how people talk.
You got to change, you got to change the, uh, the, the dialogue a little bit.
And he says, what would you change it to?
And so I changed the line for him.
Cause I'm like, it's kind of, it's like a, it's a hard line to say.
You got to say it like this.
And this director, huge director goes, yeah, that's good.
Say it like that.
And I changed the line, and I said it.
Now, they cut my line from the movie.
What?
Yeah, I'm not in the movie.
You'll never see me in the dang movie, which is horrible.
But yeah, I just said, no, that's not how I would say it.
I would say it like this, and he goes, yeah, do it like that.
To me, it's like you're working with a director to get the best scene.
You know, that's all it is.
You're just trying to do it the best way you can.
And if you can tell the director, no, it's not going to work like that.
It'll work like this.
And the director's an artist.
He understands what you're trying to do.
And everybody will work together.
And it just it can work harmoniously if you're not scared of each other.
If you all know all working toward the best product, it'll work fine.
And that sounds like exactly what he did to me.
That is a sign of a consummate professional.
You know, it's exactly what I said.
These guys know exactly what they're doing.
Yeah, don't be a stupid method actor.
Be yourself, be confident and collaborate with your director.
All right, we have to rate it.
We have to pick our next movie.
Oh, and final thoughts.
So you said it wasn't expensive.
No, it wasn't.
$15 million all in to make.
And, yeah, grossed a pretty respectable $35 million.
You didn't mention another member of the cast.
I'm not sure why you didn't mention Brad Pitt's performance, Chris.
Really interesting.
I hadn't noticed.
He's an extra.
This is his first uncredited extra at the second ball grinning behind Kevin Costner.
It looks like he has the Benjamin Button disease because he's...
It looks actually incredibly old in there.
Yeah.
Not a good photograph, but it's true.
You can look it up.
This was, in fact, Brad Pitt's unaccredited bit.
It wasn't even a part.
He laughs.
You don't hear him say anything.
He laughs behind camera.
He mugs it up for the camera.
Go back and watch the second, the reception in the New Zealand embassy.
He mugs it up big time for the camera.
That's Brad Pitt.
All right.
So what do we... Oh, we've got a rated out of golden jewelry boxes from Morocco.
Is that right?
Gifts from the King of Morocco.
So how many gold trinket boxes out of ten for a modern audience would you give No Way Out?
Let me just sum this up real quick, because I feel like there's so much we didn't say about this film.
I feel actually bad that we even gave away the fact that the girl in the film dies.
I mean, we kind of have to talk about the movie a little bit, but there's so many twists.
That moment was actually shocking to me.
I wasn't expecting that that would be... Can we show it?
Can we show it?
it's quite amazing piece of footage and Eric will explain how they photographed
it because it's a real bit of beautiful Hollywood trickery how Sean Young's
death is simulated. So we've revealed he's she's the paramour of the Defense
Secretary he gets angry with her it's not murder it's It's manslaughter.
It's accidental.
And he chases her up the stairs of the apartment that he pays for and then just strikes her and she falls over the banisters.
But it's rather a Hitchcockian special effect, the way she falls.
And I think the director, Donaldson, may have stolen this from Hitchcock or the famous shark in the water scene with Roy Scheider from Jaws when they use that reverse zoom on the telephoto lens.
So watch this if you are watching.
If you're listening, then go to Rumble after you've listened to it.
Hit over the banisters and then this shot of her falling.
Eric, how did they do that?
Director Donaldson says that that floor behind her, with the table and the chairs, is actually a wall with the furniture bolted to it.
And she was seated on a dolly, which then moved backwards towards that wall, which looks like a floor, flailing her arms around.
So it looks like she's falling, but she's in fact, you know, perfectly vertical and gravity, her center of gravity is still below her.
Hollywood, Chris.
Wow.
Yeah, quite clever.
And it works, I think, because they did it in slow motion.
I think if it was played in normal speed, I think it would look too fake.
But because it was in slow motion, I think it worked really, really well.
And you know what?
I think everything about this movie is great.
Like I said, except for the soundtrack.
If you get over the cheesy soundtrack, I think you will absolutely love this film.
And I think that, you know, this is one of those movies which It's not a classic in the sense that like everybody remembers this movie.
I never even heard of this film.
And so I'm so glad you chose this film for today because it is, to me, this is like a hidden gem that I got to experience, which I just absolutely love it.
I don't know how much people will like this film.
I think people that are watching this show will love it.
So I'll say for this case only, just for the people that will listen to your show, I will give this an 8 out of 10.
I think people are going to absolutely love it.
Eric, what did you say about this movie yesterday that you hadn't heard of before and with comparison to the 60 other movies we have reviewed with Chris?
Of all the movies we've done for Making Movies Great Again that you have recommended, so half the movies overall, this one is my favorite.
Eric has spoken.
I'm going to give this, in the universe of movies, because it's so well written, no flabs, so tight, and a reversal shock ending that is a punch to the gut, I'm going to give it 9 out of 10.
9 out of 10.
Now, Chris, we haven't rehearsed this.
I don't know what amazing movie you've chosen.
Hopefully it's not Uncle Buck the sequel.
But I would like to do something a little bit different today.
We have a recommendation from a caller yesterday which he said is the encapsulation of what masculinity should be and why men need it and why it destroys women when they have it.
Can we go for a recommendation from a caller?
I think that's a beautiful idea.
What's the film?
I'm on tenterhooks.
You may not have heard of it.
It wasn't a big success, I don't think.
Maybe it made its money back.
It's a Bruce Willis movie with the beautiful Monica Bellucci, Tears of the Sun.
Are you familiar, Chris?
I'm not.
I think I have heard the name of the film before, but that's about the extent of it.
Perfect.
We've done it again, guys.
If you like movies as much as we do, you're going to love No Way Out.
We didn't spoil it for you.
You don't know the shock ending.
Go and watch it.
And then for next week, prepare yourself for Bruce is back playing a mercenary in Africa who's got to save the lives of some missionaries, including Monica Bellucci.
That's Tears of the Sun.
