	you you
	you you
	you People said that I was angry at the debate
	Angry.
	I was angry.
	And yes, I am angry because he allowed 21 million illegal aliens invading our communities.
	Many of them are criminals.
	Many are criminals.
	I'm angry!
	As we all should be if we care for the sovereignty of our nation, its prosperity, and our national security.
	We have so much to cover today.
	It's Friday.
	It's Ask Dr. G Anything Friday.
	It's Second Amendment Friday.
	It's Making Movies Great Again.
	But first, we're going to dedicate the next three segments to the topic of national security and what can be done about it with none other than former Trump cabinet member, Secretary for Veterans Affairs, We can say he's a distinguished fellow at the America First Policy Institute, the senior strategic analyst, national security head for Newsmax.
	The list goes on and on, Secretary Wilk.
	Can I stop at some point?
	Not as long as yours.
	No, no, no.
	Let's not compete on that level because I think I will lose.
	We have to discuss the future of America First.
	Right.
	You really said something that resonated with me in the break before we started about who's going to write the long telegram.
	I used to teach Kenan's long telegram as the case study of the most exact, correct diagnosis of a strategic solution to an existential threat.
	So I could wax lyrical on that for hours.
	But first, let's talk about honor.
	Yes.
	And let's talk about respect for our veterans as The former Secretary of Veterans Affairs.
	I want to read this line from an email sent shockingly by a man who used to wear the Admiral's uniform, who is still in the pay of the U.S.
	taxpayer as Senior Director of Strategic Communications for the National Security Council, John Kirby, who didn't realize after requests from veterans That his reply was being sent to Fox News as well as to his underlings at the White House.
	The request came from a group that was concerned about how we left Afghanistan and of course the third anniversary of the death of those warfighters at KIA at Kabul International Airport.
	This is what John Kirby wrote.
	Obviously, no use in responding.
	A handful of vets, indeed, and all of one stripe.
	Right.
	Well, I think that's the perfect metaphor for this administration.
	And it goes back to the Obama years, the contempt that they have for veterans whom they view as enemies, since the majority of those in uniform come from red states, the vast majority.
	And like any good Marxist, everything is political.
	Especially military service.
	Think about this.
	When Obama left the White House, the VA had an approval rating of 37%.
	That was according to CNN.
	That wasn't us.
	When Trump left, he had an approval rating of 91%.
	Hang on.
	Ninety-one percent.
	Ninety-one percent.
	We opened the gates for veterans' choice.
	Explain veterans' choice.
	This is really important.
	Trump diagnosed the problem as having our veterans stuck in government medicine, which, as you know, being a citizen of the United Kingdom can be a death sentence.
	Yes.
	In fact, I think I read the statistic yesterday that 14,000 Britons have died in the last two years just waiting to get an appointment.
	On the waiting list.
	For the National Health Service.
	So Trump said we've got to get them out of government medicine.
	Because if you remember under Obama they were dying in the waiting rooms in the halls.
	Particularly in Phoenix and some of the facilities in Arizona.
	So he worked with the Republicans in the Congress and the House and the Senate.
	They passed Veterans Choice.
	Which meant that they could go to other providers.
	Go to any place they wanted to go.
	Whatever was convenient for them.
	So in the first six months of the nine million veterans on the VA rolls, almost four and a half million, almost half, went into the private sector.
	And then COVID hit.
	Because think about it.
	There's some states.
	Let's take the states that border Canada.
	Can you imagine having to drive in the middle of winter in Minnesota or Montana hundreds of miles to get to a VA facility when you're passing because you're required to because you were required to go to the VA facility.
	Trump said that's that's lunacy.
	This administration has killed choice.
	They've run it in the ground.
	They don't refer people But worse than that, you got rid of how many people for malpractice?
	And here's where the rub comes.
	8,000.
	At VA?
	At VA.
	2,000 of whom for grievous misconduct.
	Guess what Biden did?
	He brought them back.
	Not just back, with back pay.
	So can I just stop there for a second?
	Because this is shocking news.
	What message does that, so you fired them for cause, sometimes grievous, thousands of them, when this administration, and nobody knew it until you told us, did this quiet deal behind the scenes to bring them back with back pay.
	What message does the administration of Kamala and Biden, what message are they sending to veterans?
	Well, the message that they're sending to veterans is, you're probably from an enemy state.
	Texas, Louisiana, North Carolina.
	We don't care.
	A legacy family.
	A legacy family.
	We don't like you.
	As our Secretary of the Army has said, because if you're a second or third generation soldier, your presence is at war with diversity.
	That's not me.
	That's not Donald Trump.
	That's the Secretary of the Army.
	So, What they're saying is the unions, the foot soldiers of the revolution, are more important than those who have been shot or hurt.
	The permanent bureaucracy are more important.
	That's exactly right.
	So let's just return to Kirby for a second.
	It's one thing if Kamala Harris had emailed this or some, you know, civilian pencil neck like Jake Sullivan.
	This is a former admiral.
	Right.
	What does that mean has happened to the top level, the flag officer class?
	Well, let me give you an example from West Point, and this will tell you everything you need to know about the military under Obama and now Biden-Harris, or Harris-Biden, since as President Trump noted, you can't wake him up at 4 p.m.
	in the afternoon.
	Duty, honor, country.
	Remember that speech MacArthur gave in 1964, his last speech, he said, those words reverberate, that is everything you should be, everything you must be.
	Current superintendent of the United States Military Academy says that's only aspirational.
	What MacArthur said.
	Duty, honor, country.
	That's only aspirational.
	But isn't that the motto of the Academy?
	Not anymore.
	They've changed it.
	They got rid of it.
	It has something to do with accepting all people.
	Diversity.
	Who's going to want to go there?
	Well, that's the problem.
	People aren't going.
	We have the lowest recruitment numbers since the all-volunteer force was created.
	When they look at the military, and when they look at Israel, let's take this to foreign affairs.
	When they look at Israel and Hamas, the only thing they see is critical race theory.
	Oppressed or oppressed.
	And the military they view as a bastion of the red state patriarchy.
	That must be broken down with social engineering.
	That's right.
	We're talking to Secretary Robert Wilkie, the Honorable Robert Wilkie, former Secretary of Veterans Affairs in the Trump administration.
	So much more to discuss.
	We're talking national security, foreign policy.
	What will it look like if, God willing, we do our part and our former boss is reinstalled,
	wins the election and on January 20th at 12 o'clock becomes the Commander-in-Chief yet
	again.

	a lifetime of service.
	So we won't tell you what those values are.
	No.
	But we'll just say values.
	Right.
	What blather.
	What do we know about the commandant or the superintendent?
	affirmative action hired.
	I'm going to take a moment to thank the members of the board of trustees for their support.
	Thank you.
	It's just horrific.
	Can we have fun with the long telegram idea?
	Yeah, we can.
	Let's have fun.
	But, you know, you can now get a degree or a minor in diversity equity inclusion at West Point.
	Wasn't engineering a mandatory thing?
	It was.
	But not anymore.
	No, no, no, no.
	You don't, you don't, and then, you know, MacArthur put changes when he became the
	superintendent after World War II. He didn't think that they were getting enough of a liberal
	education. So he put in, he put in languages other than German and French because French was the
	the language of the military engineer, German theory.
	So he expanded that and he also put in political science in its new forms then.
	And then I think in the 1970s or 80s, I don't remember what time they allowed BAs to be handed.
	BAs?
	That early?
	Yeah, I think so.
	I think that's right.
	Eric, will you find Mrs. Schmitz for the C-Block?
	Yeah, give me a second.
	We'll talk Arlington and the C-Block.
	MacArthur was a great reformer and his aide was a young fellow named Matthew Ridgway.
	Oh my gosh.
	And he had to fight the old-timers.
	Oh, right.
	Couldn't have been easy.
	He was the youngest superintendent in the history of the Academy.
	Really?
	Yeah.
	Play me cut five so I can see the first half of it.
	Okay.
	I'm going to do it.
	Okay.
	I'm going to do it.
	Okay.
	I'm going to do it.
	I'm going to go back to the bathroom.
	you You see this?
	They went to a firehouse.
	Nobody reacted.
	Didn't even get up from their chairs.
	Didn't even say anything.
	Right.
	And then President Trump goes to another firehouse and there's a little bit different reaction to that one.
	There he is.
	It's the same firehouse.
	That's how we gotta win.
	That's how we gotta win.
	I cut it out of the full video, but the very end he goes with the same guy who gave Biden the Trump hat.
	He did?
	Yeah, the same exact guy.
	And he's wearing the hat and everything.
	Come in with cut four.
	Cut four?
	Yeah.
	Can you put the mics down real quick, Alex?
	Alright.
	Okay.
	Thanks.
	Thanks, everyone.
	Thanks.
	They're destroying our country.
	I don't like... She's, you know, she's smiling.
	We all practice, right?
	Did you see her?
	She's like... We're talking about a border invasion the likes of which no country has ever suffered and she's like...
	It's true though!
	A grimace, a rictus grin!
	God bless President Trump for telling the truth.
	I've got some very interesting statistics on who actually won the debate.
	It's going to surprise you maybe, especially amongst the independents.
	We'll get back to national security in a moment, but first, please do your part for the conservative movement if you want to save America.
	Don't fund the other side with every call you make and every text you send.
	There's only one Christian conservative cell phone company in America.
	It's the one I use, Patriot Mobile.
	When Nancy Pelosi's illegal January 6th committee came after my phone records and the phone records of my wife and my children, I said, that's it!
	I switched to a company that cares about your security, your privacy, and also which has donated millions of dollars to causes you believe in.
	The First Amendment, the Second Amendment, and the Sanctity of the Unborn.
	Glenn Hetner and his team are the best.
	They have nationwide coverage, extra discounts for veterans and first responders.
	But everybody, if you switch today, your first month is on me, absolutely free.
	Keep your old number, keep your old phone, or get an upgrade.
	But call them right now.

	Secretary Wilkie, will you indulge me for nine minutes?
	Sure, sure.
	Because when I used to teach at Fort McNair at National Defense University, I used my... My favorite case study of all was Cannon's Long Telegram and Paul Nietzsche's NSC-68 plan for the Cold War.
	The best exemplar of when America got it right in terms of a threat and the
	antidote.
	And a president who understood.
	And a president who understood and implemented, absolutely.
	When we were in the White House, I was at the table for the new national security strategy
	and we jettisoned the long laundry list of, you know, save the whales and everything that
	we'd inherited from Obama.
	And even Bush, it was just a long laundry list.
	And we said, the era of grand state competition is back.
	Yes.
	We have to understand we have enemies.
	Now, let's go forward.
	If, God willing, the president wins and he is the 47th commander in chief, President Trump will need a strategy again.
	What will be the...
	We'll have to discuss it then behind closed doors.
	But what could be the shape of a long telegram or an NSC-68 for 2025?
	So let's talk about what President Trump will have to jettison.
	The current national defense strategy, as outlined by the current Secretary of Defense, does not call China an adversary or an enemy.
	It calls it a pacing challenge.
	Pacing challenge?
	It mentions climate change 63 times more than it mentions the PRC, the People's Liberation Army, or the kleptocratic regime in Moscow.
	You're ruining my Friday, Mr. Secretary.
	Thank you.
	So that is what is governing this administration.
	The long telegram.
	Young diplomat in Moscow, George Kennan, sends it to the Treasury Department first.
	And Treasury says, Mr. Truman needs to see this.
	He just says, we now face an enemy that is buttressed by the intellectual resources of one of the world's most capable populations with vast national resources and a messianic drive to destroy the United States.
	Truman sees that.
	That's containment.
	He moves forward on NATO.
	And he cordons off.
	First, actually, Marshall Plan.
	He saves Greece.
	He saves Turkey.
	Here's the great picture, and I don't know that this is appreciated by Americans today.
	The Turkish ambassador at the time of the Marshall Plan died here in Washington.
	Truman on his own calls the CNO, I want the coffin with the Turkish flag on the deck of the Missouri under the guns.
	We are going to sail the Missouri into the Black Sea with the Turkish ambassador's coffin under The 16-inch guns of the mighty battleship.
	We're going to show the Soviet Union who's boss in this part of the world.
	As opposed to the CNO of the Biden administration who recorded a 14-minute video in combat uniforms for the whole fleet telling them that the U.S.
	Navy is racist.
	Yes.
	So, Truman moves to cordon off the Soviet Union.
	First thing he has to do is rescue Europe.
	He needs to get Germany back on its feet.
	I mean, think about that.
	We just fought this massive war, the second one, in just a matter of decades with the Germans.
	And Truman says we need German resources, intellect.
	Same thing with Japan.
	I just came back from a week in Japan.
	They revere Douglas MacArthur.
	It's almost like he's treated as a Shinto spirit.
	Because what did he do?
	He brought them back into the family of nations.
	He saved Japan.
	He saved Japan.
	And you contain them.
	China and its kleptocratic, kleptocratic stepson in Moscow and the mullahs.
	It's China that is calling the shots.
	Now, we have an advantage that Truman didn't have at the time, in that China is surrounded by nations with capable militaries, growing militaries, and thousand-year memories of Chinese aggression.
	Vietnam.
	Japan, Korea, the Philippines, Singapore in its modern manifestation, even India.
	We need to return to that policy to cut them off.
	And to shape the region.
	Shape the region, but also we have to use our soft power.
	The Chinese cannot compete with us economically.
	It's an economy on a house of cards.
	They have no energy independence.
	Trump is going to open the spigots again, drive the cost of oil down, which bankrupts Russia and Iran.
	And in doing that, you take arrows out of the quiver of the Chinese, because you have talked about it.
	If China were to make a move for Taiwan, as you've said, you can envision them stirring trouble with the Russians in Eastern Europe and with the Ayatollahs in the Middle East to distract America's attention.
	And no names, no bank drill.
	We're not betraying confidences.
	You have traveled through the region.
	You've spoken to people of import.
	They can't wait for our former boss to be back, correct?
	Unlike Mr. Muir and his cohort agreeing with Kamala that the rest of the world is waiting for another Biden type, the world exploded on their watch.
	Yeah.
	We're talking to the distinguished fellow at the America First Policy Institute, former Secretary of Veterans Affairs, the Honorable Robert Oelke.

	...Porkindale, who married Susan George, played Freddie on Sporthill.
	Hill.
	Where was that?
	That was at Theatre Royal, Drury Lane.
	Now I'm envious.
	Oh, I'm trying to remember.
	I think John Neville played Professor Higgins.
	The one thing as a, I think I was a high schooler, that I'll never forget, is I got to see Dame, she wasn't a Dame yet, I got to see Judi Dench play Cleopatra.
	Yes, it was amazing.
	At the National Theatre, the concrete monstrosity.
	Can you put the mic down again, Alex, real quick please?
	Yeah.
	I saw a play in 2015 at the Trafalgar Studios, which is one of their experimental, three
	days in May.
	It's about how Churchill overcame Halifax.
	How was it?
	Wonderful.
	Really?
	And it's through the eyes of Jock Colville, his secretary, who married his daughter.
	Right.
	His youngest daughter.
	And it shows how he's maneuvering and he ends up having, I guess it was Arthur Greenwood and Attlee closing the lid on the Halifax boom by saying we only go with Churchill.
	I wasn't familiar with that Turkish ambassador story.
	Oh yeah.
	On the bow of the ship.
	What state craft?

	It was just over two weeks ago I broke this story because I had been told he was there at Arlington National Cemetery at the invitation of the Goldstar families who lost their loved ones.
	President Trump Recognize the third anniversary of the debacle that was the surrender in Afghanistan by the Biden administration.
	And then afterwards, he was attacked by the White House and by the US Army.
	And this is what one of those gold star parents had to say in response.
	Because in over three years, we have gotten nothing but more and more lies.
	Just like your statement.
	More and more fun, lies, and cover-ups to make you and your administration look good.
	But there is one thing that you said in your statement that was true.
	No one should be running for president if they cannot honor military members, their families, as well as veterans.
	So I guess that means that you should step down, Kamala.
	I had Jacqueline Schmidt's husband on the show, two other Gold Star fathers as well.
	I can't credit it.
	I really can't.
	You know, it's one thing not to go there because they were invited as well.
	But to be on a beach like Biden was, or for Kamala's schedule for that day to be utterly empty.
	So to just ignore the Gold Star families on the anniversary is one thing.
	But then to make some flunky in the army, public affairs office, attack President Trump.
	How did we get here, Mr. Secretary?
	Well, we have now a politicized Defense Department, senior leadership.
	Mr. Kirby is the manifestation of that.
	He's the face of it.
	You know, let's look at this from the beginning.
	It wasn't Donald Trump who looked at his watch when those flag-draped coffins came back.
	And it wasn't Donald Trump who stayed away At the transfer?
	the media concoct a lie that he was there, as they did for the current vice president.
	At the transfer?
	Yes.
	And it was Donald Trump who was invited, invited to a solemn remembrance.
	Given the political nature of this Pentagon, I'm not surprised.
	I've seen some of the political activity in the place that should be free of it, Arlington Cemetery.
	I've seen it in my own life.
	When General Kellogg and I, a few years ago, were placing a wreath at the Tomb of the Unknowns, we got Quite a welcome from the bureaucrats.
	Not the 3rd Infantry Regiment.
	But they were questioning why we had requested this.
	On what basis?
	Because you worked for President Trump?
	Because we worked for President Trump.
	So that was that experience.
	So I'm not surprised that they even decided to take on the former president.
	Can we depoliticize our military and the Pentagon?
	Yes, I think we can.
	But it's going to require a housecleaning of the kind that only someone like Trump can do.
	So let's talk about the debate.
	To me, one of the more powerful moments was when she started saying, these people don't like you.
	And he said, well, I fired a lot of people.
	You haven't fired one.
	Afghanistan, nothing?
	No.
	And I could tell you from VA, as we talked about, Trump got rid of 8,000.
	These people brought them back.
	And one other thing about Afghanistan, real quick, and don't write any letters or say I'm going soft.
	I've known Mark Milley for a long time.
	I've known Frank McKenzie for a long time.
	Now, whatever you think about General Milley's politics, suspend disbelief for a minute.
	I am convinced there is no way either one of those generals came up with that.
	Now, that doesn't mean they shouldn't have resigned.
	They should have resigned.
	They probably should.
	No, the report released by the Foreign Affairs Committee this week is utterly damning because it's clear some people said something But it didn't matter?
	Right.
	The Biden-Harris administration rode roughshod over them?
	And my experience with Mr. Biden, going back to my time with Secretary Rumsfeld, is that when he came, when he would come to the Pentagon for a briefing, say we had an hour briefing, he'd talk for 55, 59 minutes and tell all of us how stupid we were.
	And remember, he's the one, it's in Barack Obama's book, he's the one who told Barack Obama, you can't trust anybody in uniform.
	Not only that, the one who said they shouldn't kill Bin Laden.
	We've been talking to Senior National Security Analyst for Newsmax, former Secretary of Veterans Affairs, the Honorable Robert Wilkie.

	You're listening to America First with Sebastian Gorka, former strategist to President Donald J. Trump.
	What's the bottom line about the debate?
	It's this.
	It's President Trump talking about one story concerning Harris, but it kind of summarizes everything you need to know about her.
	Cut one!
	She's a liar.
	She doesn't work at McDonald's.
	She said she worked at McDonald's, right?
	Right?
	She worked at McDonald's and she was working so hard.
	There's only one problem.
	She didn't work at McDonald's.
	She's a liar!
	Liar.
	It's that simple.
	I am Dr. G. This is America First, but it's the Mark II version of Dr. G.
	What do you mean?
	Well, thanks to Dr. Ashley Lucas and her superb team at my PhD weight loss, I'm a shadow of my former self.
	But in a good way.
	42 pounds lighter.
	It's not just me.
	It's my muse, Katie, who lost 36 pounds as well.

	864-644-1900 myphdweightloss.com that's 864-644-1900 myphdweightloss.com As I think I shared with you I was in Nashville on Monday
	to see the incredible incredible premiere of Matt Walsh's latest movie
	Am I Racist?
	And there were some very special people there.
	I got to meet not only Matt Walsh, I think we have a photograph of me with the other Daily Wire rock star.
	I mean, Clavin's important, but also Jordan B. Peterson.
	It was a fun night, met a lot of amazing people.
	And the next one, is somebody who's saving lives every single day.
	We are delighted to have with us Benjamin Craft, who was there with us smoking cigars outside the event.
	He is with the Life Advancement Group, lifeadvancementgroup.org.
	Benjamin, you are taking the most slick technological tools available today to save the unborn.
	Will you explain to us your mission and how you are executing it?
	Yeah, thanks for having me on, Sebastian.
	So, Life Advancement Group, you know, it's the culmination of a theory seven years ago.
	I was inspired by the story of Oskar Schindler from the movie Schindler's List.
	You've probably seen that film.
	But, you know, here's this German Christian business guy who's basically He saved 1,200 people's lives by purchasing them from concentration camp owners.
	And I was always inspired by that because I was a business guy myself, but I had wondered, how can I use my own business skill set in the same way to save lives from abortion?
	That was something that was always heavy on my heart.
	And so I didn't know exactly how I was going to do that, but fast forward to 2017, I was familiar with the life-saving work of pregnancy resource centers and how the vast majority of women who visit them end up choosing life.
	So naturally I put one and two together and realized that maybe the key here to saving lives from abortion was to make more people aware of these pregnancy centers in the first place.
	Because they're so effective at saving lives, but if the women in their community don't know about it, then they're not able to help women at all.
	And so that's basically how Life Advancement Group got started.
	And then very quickly, we would come to find out that the abortion clinics out there, too, are heavily incentivized and advertising heavily to also compete for these women's attention and try to get
	them at their clinics instead.
	All right, so talk to us about the way you're doing this because it's ingenious and how
	this could be the future of saving as many unborn lives as possible.
	Yes, absolutely.
	So, you know, a lot of people after Roe v. Wade kind of thought, all right, we're all done here.
	Even in states where you saw abortion become banned or a six-week ban, something along those lines.
	People don't realize that there's still hundreds of thousands of abortions taking place all the time, including in these restricted states.
	Because these women, when they find out they're pregnant, immediately they turn online to look for resources, and maybe they'll search something like abortion pills near me, and chances are they're going to find one of the many Abortion pill cartels, as I like to call them, because many of them are shady or illegal.
	And there's many illegal networks out there, too, for them to get these pills.
	So they can have them shipped to their house, even if it's in a state where it's illegal.
	So what Life Advancement Group is doing is we are directly combating that by going where the women are.
	They're online.
	So we are putting ads out online so when these women are searching for things, our ads pop up, they see our ads, they click on them, And by connecting with us, we're able to point them to their local life-affirming pregnancy resources.
	So instead of an irritating pop-up to buy a new pair of jeans, you're actually popping up on somebody's search page when they're looking for an abortion, but telling them they don't need to get that abortion and giving them resources, correct?
	Exactly.
	You know, we're never going to tell them, oh, we can give you an abortion.
	We're not going to lie to them.
	We're going to be honest.
	But we'll tell them what we can do for them, because You know, even if they're just pretty sure they want an abortion, the fact is one out of three or one out of four pregnancies ends in natural miscarriage.
	And so they need to, either way, come in and confirm whether they're having a viable pregnancy.
	And these pregnancy centers that we partner with all across the country, they can do that for free.
	If they go to the abortion clinic, they're going to charge them hundreds of dollars for that same thing, if they even offer it.
	Most of them don't show the women their baby because they know if they see that child on the ultrasound screen, it's going to cut through the lies that they've been telling people about it just being a clump of cells.
	We've got a minute left.
	We're talking to Benjamin Craft, co-founder of the Life Advancement Group, lifeadvancementgroup.org.
	You're talking to about three and a half million people right now across the nation.
	How can people support you beyond the awareness of your website?
	Yeah, so the appeal is simple.
	You know, just like Oscar Schindler converted dollars into literal lives saved from abortion, we provide donors the opportunity to do the very same thing.
	Sorry, you know, Schindler took those funds and saved lives from the Holocaust, right?
	And so with Life Advancement Group, basically, you could convert your dollars into advertising funds to help reach these women online where they are at.
	And really go head-to-head with the abortion industry that is making millions and millions of dollars off this very same thing.
	So they're pouring millions into ads against us, against these clinic, these pregnancy centers, and we need to go head-to-head with them so that these women have the chance to even know about the life-affirming care available to them in their local community.
	You know, if you do that, you can know that basically Because of you and because of your support, this woman's gonna get information that she never would have known that she had, and chances are she's gonna choose life for her baby as a result.
	Beautiful, beautiful.
	You are doing the Lord's work, and you're using the latest technology to affect the salvation, the saving of lives, the unborn.
	He's the co-founder of the Life Advancement Group.
	You can follow him on Twitter at Benjamin J. Craft, and please go right now to lifeadvancementgroup.org.

	As everyone saw two nights ago, we had a monumental victory over Comrade Kamala Harris in the
	Presidential debate.
	We won big with independent voters, moderates, Republicans, and working people all across
	this nation, putting forward a clear vision to very simply make America great again.
	Thank you.
	you It's not what it felt like on the night, but you know, I think I'm coming around to that version of events.
	Eric, do you have that little rap thing I sent you earlier today, that little tweet, that music?
	Oh, yes.
	Yes, I do.
	All right, tell me when it's... Is it ready?
	Okay, so they're making fun of President Trump for a comment he made about cats and dogs being eaten by illegals in Springfield in Ohio.
	You know, this is what it's developed into, and I've got a take.
	Just play it.
	They're eating the dogs, they're eating the cats.
	Eat the cat, eat, eat the cat.
	They're eating the dogs, they're eating the cats.
	Eat the cat, eat, eat the cat.
	They're eating the cats, they're eating the dogs.
	Eat the cat, eat, eat the cat.
	That catchy tune that I promise you, you will not be able to get out of your cranium now for the next 48 hours.
	It's viral and that's not the only version that's out there.
	Everybody is posting them.
	And here's my take.
	Because of that, everyone is looking at Springfield, Ohio.
	Everyone is now paying attention to the illegal hordes that have been led into this country.
	Think about it.
	Springfield, Ohio is what, 60,000 people?
	And it's just had 20,000 illegals dropped in that community from Haiti, which is a hellhole!
	And now everybody is paying attention to the truth of what President Trump said.
	I'm sorry you can't get it out of your head again, especially if we play it one more time.
	Eric, hit it.
	They're eating the dogs.
	They're eating the cats.
	Eat the cat.
	Eat, eat the cat.
	They're eating the dogs.
	They're eating the cats.
	Eat the cat.
	Eat, eat the cat.
	They're eating the cats.
	They're eating the dogs.
	Eat the cat.
	Eat, eat the cat.
	Eat the cat.
	It's not political jiu-jitsu, it's ninjitsu!
	It's the ultimate art of invisible warfare.
	And man is everybody paying attention to this issue right now.
	Incredible.
	How did we get here?

	Where did that hour go?
	So much fun.
	And we've got two more hours together.
	wherever you are whatever you're doing stay on this channel you
	you you
	On the side of the U.S.
	Constitution, America first.
	You know who's not on the side of the U.S.
	Constitution?
	The Democrats, all of them, every single last one of them.
	Do you remember what Hillary Clinton said about half of America?
	Do you remember that moment?
	Crooked Hillary, the deplorables, racist, homophobic, misogynist.
	I guess, um, I guess they forgot how that worked out for them in 2016 because now they're doing it again.
	This time it's not Hillary.
	It's happy, glad hands.
	The woman who has those strange gesticulations when she speaks.
	The one and only Nancy Pelosi.
	Cut 12.
	There are people who will never be, shall we say, inclined to support Democrats because of... they just have a different
	orientation toward women, people of color, LGBTQ, you know, they just are not ever going to be there.
	So say that's about like 30% or something like that. And then of the Republicans. Can you
	play that as B-roll in the back, please, Eric, while I consult with our in-house diplomat?
	Alex, I'm going to behave myself and play it in as B-roll while we discuss it with Alex.
	Alex, what is this?
	What is this hand thing that she's doing?
	It looks like she's whisking batter up with her hands.
	Do you understand what that is?
	Yeah, it's some sort of conjuring or something.
	Some sort of witchcraft.
	Yeah, doesn't it?
	It looks like she's trying to get the humors.
	The magic, the black, dark magic to, what, make her lies turn into truth or something?
	Yeah, what's going on there?
	It's really weird.
	Just play that again in the background, guys.
	I want everybody who's watching us on Pluto or the Salem app.
	It's just creepy.
	I mean, it's like drunk people do that.
	But I presume she's not drunk.
	So what is she doing?
	OK.
	Let's descend into the madness that is the left.
	There was a clip of a man, I think he's from Springfield, Ohio, where all the Haitians are.
	Thank you for that confirmation, Eric.
	And his son was recently killed by an illegal immigrant.
	Ran him over or something.
	It was a traffic incident.
	Six years old, I think, or 11 years old.
	Those two numbers stick in my mind.
	So this is a white man who has had his son killed by an illegal.
	Listen to him.
	First cut.
	I wish that my son, Aidan Clark, was killed by a 60-year-old white man.
	I bet you never thought anyone would ever say something so blunt.
	But if that guy killed my 11-year-old son, the incessant group of hate-spewing people would leave us alone.
	The last thing that we need is to have the worst day of our lives violently and constantly shoved in our faces.
	But even that's not good enough for them.
	They take it one step further.
	They make it seem as though our wonderful Aiden appreciates your hate.
	That we should follow their hate.
	And look what you've done to us.
	We have to get up here and beg them to stop.
	Using Aiden as a political tool is To say the least, reprehensible for any political purpose.
	I would prefer if my son Aiden had been killed by a 60-year-old white man.
	What kind of human says that?
	What kind of father says that?
	But he continues.
	And speaking of morally bankrupt, Politicians, Bernie Moreno, Chip Roy, J.D.
	Vance, and Donald Trump, they have spoken my son's name and used his death for political gain.
	This needs to stop now.
	They can vomit all the hate they want about illegal immigrants, the border crisis, and even untrue claims about the fluffy pets being ravaged and eaten by community members.
	However, they are not allowed, nor have they ever been allowed to mention Aiden Clark from Springfield, Ohio.
	I will listen to them one more time to hear their apologies.
	To clear the air, my son, Aiden Clark, was not murdered.
	He was accidentally killed by an immigrant from Haiti.
	No, he wasn't.
	He was killed by an illegal.
	And I will say your son Aidan's name as long as you are lying about why it happened.
	You call that individual a member of your community.
	He's not a member of our community, your community, or any community in America.
	He's a Haitian who was let into this country illegally by Kamala Harris, the Board of Zarina.
	And you're going to forbid us from telling the truth about your son?
	Instead, you're going to pervert the truth?
	You went on to say how your son liked gardening.
	Okay, but what has that got to do with why he died?
	This is perhaps the most horrific example of virtue signaling I have ever seen in my life, and if you had told me Yesterday, that I would witness this in America, I would have said, absolutely impossible.
	A father could never do that to the memory of his little son.
	We want to save children like Aidan.
	We want to make sure that the likes of 12-year-old Jocelyn Nungare will not be raped and murdered and thrown into a ditch by an illegal.
	We want to stop the likes of 22-year-old Laken Riley, nursing student, likewise raped, strangled, and thrown into a bush.
	We want to prevent illegals from killing the beautiful mother of five, Rachel Marin, not a few miles from where I am sitting in Maryland.
	But for your what?
	Acceptance by the left?
	You target President Trump, who secured the border?
	Who saved countless lives by shipping illegals back to the countries where they came from?
	Who had his ICE and CBP arrest and deport MS-13 gang members?
	As to the awful lies about people eating cats and dogs...
	What do you mean?
	Why don't you read the police reports from Springfield that I posted during the debate when people said, IT'S NOT HAPPENING!
	Why don't you listen to your fellow residents of Springfield who at the same meetings you attend talk about how their livestock, their pets, how the ducks in the park are having their heads ripped off by Haitian illegals and then eaten.
	It's not Sebastian Gorka saying that.
	It's citizens of your fellow town!
	But no, instead you are going to posture about Republicans who want to secure the border.
	You disgust me.
	I would like to feel sorry for you because no parent should have to bury their child.
	But to so disrespect their memory that you'd say you'd prefer a white man to have killed them?
	There is no excuse for that.
	The next clip is a clip of who Donald Trump really is and a young sick boy who recently received an envelope in the mail.
	Can you read it?
	Hello?
	Sure.
	It says, Dear Liam, Happy 8th birthday.
	Mrs. Trump and I hope you enjoy this special occasion surrounded by the love of your family and friends.
	We are so encouraged by the strength and determination you have shown throughout your young life and send our love and best wishes to you as you continue to fight.
	Remember you are never alone and we are keeping you in our thoughts and prayers for continued Thank you!
	I love you!
	and good health. May God bless you and your family. Stay strong. Sincerely. Can you tell me who signed that?
	Donald Trump.
	He knew it was your birthday coming up? What are you saying to him?
	Thank you. I love you.
	What else did he say?
	Thank you.
	Little Liam crying. Saying thank you to President Trump.
	Liam from New York, who suffers from a rare brain disorder and a growth hormone deficiency.

	It's Friday, it's Second Amendment Friday, and we are so grateful to Carr Firearms for sponsoring our Second Amendment segments and our hour here.

	Okay, shall we take some calls, or shall we first listen to the great Greg Gutfeld?
	Greg has a take on Harris, and it's a good one.
	Let's have a little listen to one of the few good people left at Fox.
	Cut six.
	There's no reason why Kamala doesn't want it to be.
	She should want a debate.
	She's got the formula and the fixes in.
	She knows what to do.
	You flood the zone with the hoaxes knowing from the earlier debate she will not be fact-checked and instead she will be protected.
	So Trump spends his time debunking all these hoaxes.
	You know, and he's exasperated that the that the moderators let it fly.
	And she just smiles and wonders why this is so.
	People kept saying this was so hard.
	This is really easy.
	She's like the drunk dude at a bar who can say what he wants because his dad owns the place and he pays off the cops.
	And then you can understand why he wouldn't do it because he's going like, why would I walk into this again?
	The drunk dude at the bar whose father owns the place.
	He does come up with some rather superb analogies.
	It's not Thursday, but she's on the line.
	Line 1, Antoinette in California.
	Hi, Dr. G. I apologize for breaking the rules, but I just couldn't help myself.
	Benjamin with Life Advantage... I can barely hear you.
	You still need to get a new phone.
	Hey, can you put the studio speaker on for me, please, Alex?
	Because I can't hear Antoinette very well.
	Go ahead, Antoinette.
	Better?
	Go ahead.
	Better?
	Yes.
	Okay.
	Dr. G.
	With Benjamin, the lifeadvantagementgroup.org.
	Oh my God!
	Thank you for bringing them on!
	Isn't it genius when I met that guy and he said we're using, you know, Google to help get the information to pregnant women that they don't have to abort their child.
	I'm shocked because Google, here in California, they are blocking those different websites to get help, so the fact that Benjamin's doing it... Well, he did tell me that at the beginning they were required to put a disclaimer, or Google put a disclaimer on their pop-ups that said, these services do not provide abortions, but yeah, that's the point, but God bless him for, you know, using the Google platform to save lives.
	Unbelievable.
	And then yesterday, Dr. G, that video of the young girl calling in the Planned Parenthood, a dear friend of mine gave me that video the other day, but I didn't know if it was for real or to verify, but it was powerful.
	It was sickening.
	I was almost throwing up.
	Sadly it is true.
	We're probably going to have to play that clip again and again again because it's horrific.
	It's a woman pretending that she's 35 weeks pregnant and saying that she needs an abortion and the abortion clinic giving all the grisly details and then she asks at the end Right after the debate between Harris and President Trump that, oh, is this unusual?
	An abortion for somebody who's in the ninth month of pregnancy?
	And what does she say?
	She says, oh, no, we do it all the time.
	Absolutely horrific.
	Glad we made your day, Antoinette.
	Voice for the voiceless.
	Line two, Dave, Arizona.
	Thanks, Dr. Gorka.
	Left hip, erect delta, nine millimeter.
	Did a surf from state 48.
	Greetings my friend.
	What would you like to talk about?
	I wanted to call and give you a little bit of feedback.
	I went to the Salem radio debate hosting party from Seth Leibson.
	Hang on, they had a party?
	I didn't even know Seth was having a party for the debate.
	Yeah, we went to the first one too.
	It's great.
	He's very engaging.
	That's a great guy.
	Seth Leibson's a great guy.
	So did you have fun?
	A blast.
	But a lot of people left the facility with down faces.
	They didn't think President Trump won.
	Oh, hang on, hang on.
	Hang on.
	I'm going to interrupt you now.
	I've got an image I need to share with you and I'll read it to all of our listeners here.
	This popped today on my feed.
	This is from a left-wing polling athlete.
	Go ahead, put it up.
	This is from BuzzFeed, Dave, right?
	BuzzFeed hates America.
	Here's the latest post to pre-debate, okay?
	Pre the debate, Trump was at 39%, okay?
	And Harris was at 36%.
	After the debate, President Trump is up 3 points to 42% and Harris went up 1 point to 37%.
	President Trump, according to BuzzFeed, Dave, is beating Harris 5 percentage points.
	Well, we know that they're no friends of ours.
	They're part of the lamestream media, sir.
	Yeah!
	But as I told my friends as we were leaving, I said, follow the 24-48 hour rule.
	Let's digest what we see.
	Yes.
	And as I walked out, it started formulating in my mind, he wasn't talking to us.
	He wasn't talking to the junkies, because we have all the facts.
	He's talking, unfortunately, to low-information voters.
	And this is an indictment of our republic, and it's our fault.
	We don't have critical thinking skills anymore.
	Most people in the general population care more about ducks and pets than they do about illegal immigration and the people that get raped every time they come across the border.
	Or the 100,000 fentanyl poisonings every year for the last three years, which is the equivalent of an airliner filled with fellow citizens going down every day for 1,100 days.
	That doesn't wake people up.
	But somebody took the duck from the pond, Any way we can save our public, our republic, I'm all in favor of it.
	So I think President Trump had the right tactic.
	He shared something that he knew that they would go ballistic on and try to fact-check him and throw it in his face that he was false.
	But he always has all the facts, right?
	5D chess, sir.
	I love the approach.
	Thank you, Dave.
	Yeah, I think I will talk with the Baron next to get his analysis.
	But I think the fact, I just think of this one Factor.
	This one vector.
	Because of the cats and dogs.
	And you say, everybody, you know, they love their fluffy animals.
	Because of that one statement, what's happening?
	Everybody is focusing on that city right now.
	All right, uh, do we have a read here?
	We don't.
	We're in the B block, right Alex?
	Okay, so I don't even know who's on line three.
	Let's just go to line three.
	Who are you, line three?
	Hi, Dr. Sebastian.
	My name is Dr. Jeff.
	Okay, Jeff, you've got 90 seconds.
	What do you want to share with the world?
	I'm from Mesa, Arizona.
	Please pass on to President Trump.
	Please have him tell that both of us went to a military academy and an honor code was instilled in him.
	And please tell him to smile more.
	He has a nice smile when he's smiling.
	Smiling and eye contact are one of the most important things in Postmasters, and I know he's a good orator, but he looks sometimes like he's a sarcoplast, and I don't think that gets across there.
	I have a letter from Melania that I gave a very conservative donation for his last run for presidency.
	And it hangs in my optometry office, and I show it to everybody.
	God bless.
	We're out of time.
	Thank you, Jeff.
	Glad you got a lovely letter from the erstwhile First Lady.
	He does smile, but when it's three against one, you understand things get a little bit serious.
	Make sure you're following us on all social media so you never miss the breaking news.
	Look for Seb Gawker or Sebastian Gawker on all the usual platforms, and download the Salem News Channel app to watch us.
	Yeah, we're a TV show as well.
	And don't forget, my original analysis at Substack.
	SebastianWalker.substack.com SebastianWalker.substack.com
	But his base is locked in this.
	Now, any time he loses, it was rigged.
	All you have to do is look at social media today.
	And this even Hugh Hewitt, who used to appear on this network, he did was saying today that everyone's realizing he won the debate because it's going to be overturned in the booth.
	It was rigged.
	The refs were rigged.
	And, you know, It is really depressing that people are stooping to that
	level, but that's what's going on.
	It's really depressing.
	That's a threat.
	That's a threat.
	She is a threat to democracy.
	That's a threat.
	you you
	She is a threat to democracy.
	But you remember when she went out and she said, thank you?
	Do you remember that?
	It was the weirdest thing.
	Am I wrong?
	Because they were saying JD and I are weird.
	No, we're very solid people.
	She's weird.
	And that vice president of hers is really weird.
	He's really.
	Alright, we're going to continue to monitor Donald Trump.
	He's speaking in Tucson, Arizona right now, making all sorts of very weird statements, including that he had a monumental, his word, monumental victory over what he called comrade Kamala Harris at the debate earlier this week.
	What's weird about that, Wolf Blitzer?
	If you look at the polling, especially amongst independents, even Reuters had to admit six out of ten independents said after the debate they're voting for President Trump.
	And cutting away?
	That's so strange.
	Why did you do that?
	And you're saying that he's the weird one?
	Well, how about this?
	This is Tim Walz, Stolen Valor, with a very strange comment that incites a rather peculiar response.
	And you tell me you had this on your bingo card.
	And they're eating cats.
	And they're eating cats.
	We'll be sorry.
	We're gonna analyze that and so much more, but first we have to recognize Justin Moon and the amazing people at CAR
	Firearms.
	It is Friday.
	It's Second Amendment Friday.
	There's a reason I carry a 9mm car every single day.
	Because they're that good.
	Check out their line of weapons at KAHR.com, which include the legendary Desert Eagle and the historic, iconic auto-ordnance lines of weapons, including the M1 Carbine, the Tommy Gun, and the venerable 1911.
	Arm yourself.

	We're so delighted to have him in the studio, especially after some excitement with the errant Uber drivers.
	We call him the Baron, my former colleague from the White House.
	He is, of course, senior advisor to the Trump 2024 campaign.
	Boris Epstein, welcome back.
	Thanks.
	Good to be here.
	Good to see you in person.
	What kind of crowd of people has to chant, we don't eat cats?
	That's... They doth protest too much.
	Oh, you took it from me!
	As the bot said.
	It's just creepy, Boris.
	Oh, everything about them is creepy, right?
	I mean, Tim Walz is just a total mess.
	He's a liar.
	He's a disaster.
	Kamala Harris... Notice, why are they talking about her working at McDonald's anymore?
	What happened to that?
	It's almost as if she never worked at McDonald's and it was all her.
	Segway, let's listen to my first one and your current boss.
	Line one, he has something to... Cut one, he has something to say about this.
	She's a liar.
	She doesn't work at McDonald's.
	She said she worked at McDonald's, right?
	Right?
	She worked at McDonald's and she was working so hard.
	There's only one problem.
	She didn't work at McDonald's.
	She's a liar!
	Liar.
	Who would lie?
	Don't confirm, she's a liar.
	I'm working at McDonald's, Boris.
	A liar!
	The same person who lies about worship.
	Well, I wasn't going to ban fracking, and then I wasn't going to ban fracking, and my position has been clear for the last six weeks.
	My principles haven't changed because border walls don't work, but we're going to build the wall now.
	I have no value.
	Here's the Kamala Harris real campaign strategy.
	I have no values.
	Whatever it takes.
	I stand for nothing.
	I love Willie Brown.
	And I will tell you whatever you want to hear.
	Right.
	But really, I have a plan.
	But I don't eat cats.
	Maybe.
	And here's the thing.
	The whole issue is they're making fun of it so hard.
	Just the way they made fun of the fact that the China virus came out of the Chinese lab, the virus lab.
	Oh no, that's a conspiracy.
	Here's the reality.
	Is our country overrun by illegal immigrants?
	Yes.
	Do we not have a southern border?
	We do not have a southern border.
	Was Kamala Harris the border star?
	Yes.
	Is she to blame?
	Absolutely.
	Is she a disaster?
	Yes.
	Would you ask either her or Tampon Tim to run a 7-Eleven?
	No.
	One last cut we're going to share with the Baron from Claire McCaskill, who's going after my Salem colleague, Hugh Hewitt.
	How dare she?
	Not nice.
	I don't I don't think the polling is going to get better for him, but his base is locked in this.
	Now, any time he loses, it was rigged.
	All you have to do is look at social media today.
	And this even Hugh Hewitt, who used to appear on this network, he did was saying today that everyone's realizing he won the debate because it's going to be overturned in the booth.
	It was rigged.
	The refs were rigged.
	And, you know, It is really depressing that people are stooping to that level, but that's what's going on.
	That's depressing, not those faces.
	We have a cult base.
	Are we the ones who believe a man can become a woman?
	Yeah, listen.
	You've got to be more accepting.
	Flexible!
	Yeah, flexible.
	Whatever they call it.
	Look at these people.
	They know nothing.
	They stand for nothing.
	They hate America.
	That's plainly obvious.
	And they're so obsessed with power that they'll stoop to any levels.
	And that's exactly what they're doing.
	That is what they're doing.
	We're talking to Boris Epstein.
	Follow him.
	Senior advisor for the Trump 2024 campaign.

	You You
	You This is second amendment Friday on America first brought to
	you by car firearms Peace.
	Car Firearms understands that the Second Amendment is the most important civil right because it makes all the others possible.
	For the time being, we remain the freest nation on God's green earth, but that's because of people like Justin Moon and the team at Car Firearms.
	There's a reason I carry one of his 9mm cars every single day, because it keeps me in a position where I can protect myself and my family, my loved ones.
	Check out their amazing line of concealed carry weapons at KAHR.com, and also the Desert Eagle line, the most famous Hollywood weapon belongs to them as well, and the historic Inter Ordnance line of historic American Army weapons, including the M1 carbine, the legendary Tommy gun, and the venerable 1911.
	KAHR.com, that's KAHR.com.
	You know, when it comes to the 1911, I have more 1911s now than I can count, but I never was really into them until very recently.
	And one of the reasons that changed is, um, well, I tried out a special kind of 1911 at SHOT Show, and here's a little video of me in the middle of the desert shooting this little beauty.
	That's off.
	All right, the new C from Staccato with a Trijicon.
	They're brand new.
	Beautiful.
	Slightly larger than the CS.
	It's a keeper.
	Just don't put it in the hand luggage.
	It's a keeper, but don't put it in the hand luggage unless you're a federal officer.
	What is the story of Staccato, as was the STI?
	Let's talk to the man who's a little bit responsible for their amazing success, my good buddy Nate Horvath.
	Welcome back to America First, the Second Amendment Hour.
	Dr. Gorka, thank you for having me on the show again.
	I really appreciate it.
	Always a great opportunity.
	All right, we have to talk about the change in your life.
	Now I have to call you the co-chair of Staccato and the CEO of Prairie Fire.
	I hope you're getting two paychecks, not just one paycheck.
	We'll talk about Prairie Fire in a second, because I've been there and it is a wicked cool facility.
	But first, I'm going to ask you a question I asked you last time, because I still haven't got a good answer for it, at least in my mind.
	The 1911 is, as the name says, over a flipping century old, and you guys have changed the industry in terms of your popularization of the double-stack 2011 design that took it into the 21st century.
	How did you do that, and how do you have law enforcement agencies across the country making a double-stack, single-action, cocked-and-lock weapon their duty-preferred sidearm?
	Yeah, I'll work backwards.
	Starting with the law enforcement, we've had tremendous success there, as you know.
	We're now north of 1,600 departments nationally that have approved Staccato for use.
	And the adoption rate has really been driven by the performance that they achieve when they're shooting staccatos.
	They tend to shoot better.
	As you know, the triggers are amazing.
	There's not a lot of recoil.
	It's a very easy gun to shoot well.
	And that is something that started with SWAT teams because performance is incredibly important for them and accuracy.
	And it's trickled down to patrol officers as well and law enforcement everywhere.
	They all want to be able to shoot better, be more confident out there.
	So we've been making great inroads there.
	I think really the reason why is we started with the basics of the 1911, obviously made the double stack in the 2011, which is the patented name from Staccato, but brought precision manufacturing into what was originally a race gun under STI, a very competition-oriented gun, but kept all the race car performance, but really introduced either You can use the Ferrari on the race car side and then maybe a Ford F-150 or a Toyota.
	Something very durable and rugged.
	So, both a combination of accuracy and performance at a very high level together with durability and reliability over a very high round count and in extreme conditions.
	Yeah, it is truly stunning because, you know, I was a fan of the STI as was, which, as you say, were race guns.
	I have 45s, I have 9mm, I have a 10mm as well.
	Here is the beautiful CS.
	But you've turned them into duty guns, not just race guns.
	I thought it was big news when you said, OK, and we're going to make ammunition as well.
	Very excited about that.
	But I guess that wasn't enough.
	First tier weapons, ammunition, and now...
	Prairie Fire and an upcoming competition.
	So tell us about PrairieFire.com, Nate.
	We'd love to.
	So Prairie Fire is a sister company to Staccato.
	It's about 45 minutes from the Las Vegas airport.
	Beautiful location, 550 acres.
	It's a world-class firearms training facility.
	So when you think about shooting, you've got obviously the handgun, you've got the ammunition, and then the third element is the shooter herself or himself.
	And so that training element, that performance element, that's what we're bringing to bear at Prairie Fire.
	And it's not just world-class training, but it's also an opportunity to have really unique and challenging experiences.
	So it's not just going out to a range, a flat range, which can be a bit boring over time, but about unique courses where there's some movement, running and gunning, shooting from moving vehicle, all of that on the pistol side.
	But at Prairie Fire, we also have carbine, we have long range, you can shoot out to a mile, sporting clay.
	So it's really, we think of it as a shooting sports Disneyland.
	Shoot out to a mile.
	I might have to visit with one of my 50 Cal Barretts.
	Now you're really getting my interest piqued.
	However, you're going to start with a SWAT competition.
	I remember when I first went to SIG Academy back in the 90s.
	That's aging me.
	When I realized you can shoot and move at the same time running and gunning.
	Tell us about this super exciting inaugural national SWAT competition and range day, Nate.
	We are really, really excited about this, Dr. Gorka, that we have about 50 teams, up to 50 teams that will be competing.
	Top teams from all over the country, the locals obviously, Las Vegas Metro, their SWAT team, a bunch of the FBI SWAT teams are coming in, LAPD, big and small, SWAT teams from everywhere.
	And the big thing here is it's a very unique course, given what we can do at Prairie Fire.
	Very challenging, 12 stages, October 10th through the 12th.
	And then during that, while the SWAT competition is going on, there's a large range day that's open to civilians to attend.
	They can not only spectate at the SWAT competition, cheer on their favorite team and see what the best of the best are doing and how they're doing it, but they can also experience everything that Prairie Fire has to offer.
	Get a chance to shoot pistols and carbines from the best manufacturers.
	Staccato will of course be there, Sons of Liberty Gunworks, SIG and many others.
	I may have to turn up, though, with one of my favorite 1911s or 2011s.
	But we'll discuss that offline.
	In the meantime, congratulations on your new position, CEO of Prairie Fire!

	So where are you now?
	Where did you just land?
	I landed back in Austin, so flew back from Vegas this morning.
	So I'm back in Texas, and I made it about halfway home, and I just figured I'd better pull over and find a spot.
	So apologies for the little bit of... No, it's perfect.
	The connection's amazing.
	So you don't have to move to Nevada?
	You can stay in Texas?
	Yeah, I'm splitting some time back and forth.
	So I'm basically going once every week.
	I'm out there most of the week and then I'm back here on the weekends.
	So I'll get a place out there, but it'll be commuting.
	I love it.
	I love it.
	Love it.
	If you think about it, we should maybe talk about advertising because we'd love to promote Prairie Fire on the radio or on social media or whatever.
	Absolutely.
	We definitely need to get the name out.
	And I really appreciate the opportunity as always to jump on here.
	And I'm sorry that Justin and Buck couldn't make it, but I'm glad it kind of worked out.
	It was perfect.
	And you did both the gun and the range perfectly.
	All right.
	Safe travels, buddy.
	All right.
	Thanks, Zeb.
	See you.
	Take care.
	Bye-bye.
	Bye.
	you you
	you The most awesome pipes in talk radio, Sebastian Gorka.
	It's been one of those weeks but they're all pretty crazy and they're gonna get crazier.
	We didn't even play the best part of the debate and I think this is why most people think he won it.
	The closing two minutes from President Trump.
	He won the coin toss so he got to close the debate.
	So she just started by saying she's gonna do this, she's gonna do that, she's gonna do all these wonderful things.
	Why hasn't she done it?
	She's been there for three and a half years.
	They've had three and a half years to fix the border.
	They've had three and a half years to Create jobs and all the things we talked about.
	Why hasn't she done it?
	She should leave right now, go down to that beautiful White House, go to the Capitol, get everyone together and do the things you want to do, but you haven't done it and you won't do it.
	Because you believe in things that the American people don't believe in.
	You believe in things like we're not going to frack.
	We're not going to take fossil fuel.
	We're not going to do things that are going to make this country strong, whether you like it or not.
	Germany tried that.
	And within one year, they were back to building normal energy plants.
	We're not ready for it.
	We can't sacrifice our country for the sake of bad vision.
	But I just ask one simple question.
	Why didn't she do it?
	We're a failing nation.
	We're a nation that's in serious decline.
	We're being laughed at all over the world.
	All over the world they laugh.
	I know the leaders very well.
	They're coming to see me.
	They call me.
	We're laughed at all over the world.
	They don't understand what happened to us as a nation.
	We're not a leader.
	We don't have any idea what's going on.
	We have wars going on in the Middle East.
	We have wars going on with Russia and Ukraine.
	We're going to end up in a third world war, and it'll be a war like no other because of nuclear weapons, the power of weaponry.
	I rebuilt our entire military.
	She gave a lot of it away to the Taliban.
	She gave it to Afghanistan.
	What these people have done to our country, and maybe toughest of all, is allowing millions of people to come into our country.
	Many of them are criminals.
	And they're destroying our country.
	The worst president, the worst vice president in the history of our country.
	That's what you call a tour de force.
	And I think that's why it's fair to say he won that debate.
	Now we have to win the election for him and the future of America.

	Okay.
	Have you heard about Dinesh D'Souza's new movie?
	It's based on his book by the same name, Vindicating Trump.
	This movie is a searching examination about the real reasons why the left and the Democrats hate Donald Trump so much.
	They call him a tyrannical dictator, but in truth, it's the American government's authoritarian regime that's afraid.
	Afraid that Trump will dethrone them once again.
	As a charismatic leader, he mobilizes the people.
	He gets things done.
	And they don't like it.
	That's why they're trying to get rid of him.
	To throw him in jail using lawsuits and indictments.
	And even an assassination attempt on his life.
	Vindicating Trump reveals Donald Trump as the one man who can defeat the tyranny of the left.
	And that's why we need his leadership now more than ever.
	Don't miss Dinesh D'Souza's unqualified defense of Trump, Vindicating Trump, in theaters nationwide now.

	You You
	Of all the gin joints in all the towns in all the world she walks in a mine
	Bye.
	Oh, my God.
	you Impressive.
	Most impressive.
	See things you people wouldn't believe.
	I want to talk to God.
	Let's go see him together.
	I want to talk to God.
	you Well, either he's getting ready to do something with it, or he doesn't know he has it.
	Or he doesn't have it.
	You know what I've seen?
	I've seen killers walk free because the eyewitness was an alcoholic.
	I've seen sex offenders that couldn't be touched because the victim was a call girl.
	Credibility.
	It's the only currency that means anything on this kind of playing field.
	Dean's got the tape and he's gonna come out with it.
	And when he does, I want his credibility.
	I want people to know he's lying before they hear what he says.
	That is, of course, the great Jon Voight, who we had on this show recently, celebrating one of his movies.
	We're returning to another one of his performances in the fifth outing of the team that may have defined movies for the 80s and 90s with their dual Production and directing team workup.
	It is Jerry Bruckheimer and Ridley Scott's late brother Tony Scott.
	We're making movies great again, this time with my co-host Chris Coles's choice.
	It is Enemy of the State.
	Chris, a great choice.
	I forgot how much of an adrenaline-pumping experience this was.
	Although given, you know, the background of Bruckheimer and Scott together, this is what they're very good at.
	Why did you choose Enemy of the State?
	Well, you know, it's weird because I have this whole list of great classic films, right?
	And Enemy of the State, I don't think this is considered a classic by any stretch of the imagination.
	You know, and it's so I think of it as kind of a lesser film in terms of the films that we've been watching.
	But on the other hand, watching this back, I kind of realized like, wow, this is a pretty stellar cast.
	Yes.
	You know, and this is the filmmaking, although it's that very fast paced, quick cut, sort of 90s MTV generation style.
	The fact that it's Tony Scott, the fact that it's Bruckheimer, Does give it some level of quality, which was far superior than what I remember.
	But the reason I chose it was because I feel like we're in this really weird time in American history where for the first time, you know, I'm talking to people who are genuinely concerned that just because we might oppose the current regime, we are essentially enemies of the state.
	You know, we are in this situation Uh, that, you know, Will Smith finds himself in this film to some degree.
	I mean, we're not running around in our underwear, uh, trying to escape gunshots, but I feel like we're on the edge of that, you know what I mean?
	So it was just a movie I thought would be fun to analyze with you and to talk about how far we've come from this being a fiction about a single sort of rogue NSA guy, uh, to, you know, and they're, they're essentially at the end of the film, they're saved by the FBI.
	At this point, we've got... You know what I mean?
	Like, I feel like... I was watching this and I was thinking, what kind of a denouement?
	The agency that raided my former boss's home, that put Steve Bannon in prison.
	Those are the guys that saved the day?
	Right.
	Exactly.
	I mean, now we've got the CIA, the NSA, the FBI.
	We've got the DOJ.
	Every three letter group in Washington, D.C.
	is against us now.
	Like, how could you ever survive?
	Like, Will Smith would not have survived this in 2024 because it's not just one rogue agent with his henchmen.
	It's now like, you know, all the top brass and all the agencies.
	And it's quite shocking.
	So I thought we could illustrate that with this at one time fiction.
	Yeah it's funny because this was a genre of movies I mean how many movies are there where you know the CIA are the bad guys the NSA are the bad guys you know the the former Greenberg I mean we did what did we do we did no way out and then you have the these gentlemen are associated with special forces you know the killers like what What do you mean associated with the special forces?
	This was the genre and now it's so strange, Chris, as somebody who used to make his living in Hollywood, isn't it so strange that nowadays the deep state isn't the enemy in movies?
	Is that because the liberals are the deep state today?
	Yeah, you know, I think maybe it is.
	If it's not Actually fictional, you know.
	But here's, I think that sometimes, this is kind of a weird thing, like, you know, art imitates life, but life also sometimes imitates art.
	And I think that in the 90s, when they made this film, probably most characters in the NSA, in the FBI, in the CIA, were genuinely trying to improve the quality of life of everyday Americans and protect us from foreign adversaries and things like this.
	But, you know, you see enough films like this and it gives people ideas, you know, and people have opportunities to, you know, maybe they do a little bit of corruption here, a little bit of corruption there, they have a little bit of power, they have a little bit of influence, they have some connections, they feel powerful, they feel special.
	People can, you know, with a little bit of power, people can become very, very corrupted.
	You saw this with COVID masks.
	As soon as people got a little bit of power to kick you off an airplane or to kick you out of a grocery store, suddenly you've got all these crazy, you know, lunatics with these, you know, mundane jobs.
	Suddenly they are, you know, top level police officers trying to, you know, demand that you wear a, you know, a mask, which is, has now been proven to be absolutely useless.
	But at the time people really took that seriously and they, You know, it's like that prison experiment that they did in, what was it, the 1960s, where the prison officials in the experiment became horribly corrupt and violent and evil, and they just abused their power.
	You give people power, and they will often abuse it, and it looks like people have watched one too many Hollywood films and decided they want to become the villains that they were watching in the 90s.
	And we have another clip from Jon Voight.
	He's designating the team.
	This is the classic 90s moment where you've got to have the team of guys built to go after the hero.
	This is Daniel Zavitz.
	He's a nature photographer with some government grants.
	One of them is for monitoring migratory patterns of Canadian geese, or lack thereof.
	The box is called a hide.
	It contains a motion-activated digital video camera with a compound lens.
	It was aimed directly at the boat ramp across the lake.
	We need two techs with full electronic capabilities.
	Two Humpty Dumpties.
	Get Fiedler to organize it.
	And call Kramer to get us some ex-military cutouts.
	How do I describe the project?
	Pull all the training up.
	Post it here.
	Set up a link with the NRO.
	That's good.
	Falsify FBI approval.
	And none of this goes beyond our team.
	Falsify FBI approval?
	That would never happen.
	You would never have a DOJ lawyer falsify a CIA document so that you could acquire an FBI FISA court warrant to spy on a member of a political campaign.
	That's just Hollywood fantasy, Chris.
	Yeah, yeah.
	Exactly what I said.
	Life imitating art in this case.
	It's pretty wild And in this case, like I said, this was a rogue, supposedly a rogue agent within the NSA.
	It's like a deputy director who's, you know, wants to get more powerful and as the result has to kill the congressman.
	It's not the agency, Chris.
	It's just one rogue guy and his minions.
	Right.
	Well, but now, I mean, I'm watching this and I'm literally thinking, this is struck.
	This is Brennan.
	This is, you know, this isn't just like some deputy deputy.
	This is like the top guys now.
	I'm thinking about Christopher Wray.
	You know, it's funny, like at the end of the film, they're like, you know, we need oversight committees to, you know, to ensure that these agencies are acting fairly.
	And I'm like, I'm sitting there, I'm thinking of every Chris Wray, you know, what is it?
	Testimony.
	Going for a hearing.
	Testimony at like a congressional hearing.
	And Howie always says the same thing.
	I can't talk about that.
	I can't talk about that.
	Ongoing operation.
	It can't.
	No, it's ongoing.
	Yeah.
	Oh, I can't tell you about our methods.
	You know, we can't talk about our methods.
	Gosh, you know, what if the enemy hears?
	It's like, what are you talking about?
	Just say that you don't have, you didn't have agents in January 6th.
	Why can't you just say that?
	Right?
	That doesn't give away any kind of methods.
	And this recent thing that we talked about, the tenant thing, You know, that's one reason why I'm suspicious of this, right?
	Because the FBI comes out and they announce this, right?
	Oh, we have this investigation going on.
	Like, how often do they just come out and announce an investigation?
	Well, only if it's possibly going to hurt Donald Trump.
	That seems to be the only... Oh, that's so good.
	That's so good.
	Why would you announce the investigation and an indictment of the Russians behind this so-called conservative media company if you can't indict and extradite Russians?
	I think we know what's going on here.
	The movie is Enemy of the State.

	Hi.
	Hey, hi.
	Can I help you?
	Uh, yes.
	Do you see something you like?
	Uh, I'm married.
	That's allowed.
	Um, I just, I need, I need some, uh, a Christmas present.
	For your wife?
	Yes, of several years.
	We're, uh, yes.
	So you want some lingerie for your wife?
	Yes, yes, I would.
	I mean, don't get me wrong, I mean, I'm experienced, you know, from a certain perspective.
	Right.
	I just, you know, I don't want to come in here and, you know, look stupid.
	Too late.
	It's funny, I've never seen a lingerie store where the hostesses and the staff are actually in lingerie.
	I missed that one.
	I mean, I live not far from Georgetown, but I guess I haven't looked hard enough.
	We are reviewing, we are celebrating great movies.
	It is, of course, Enemy of the State, Jerry Bruckheimer, Tony Scott, 1998.
	It is an amazing ensemble cast, from Gene Hackman to John Voight to an incredible Gabriel Byrne cameo for about two minutes, which is like amazing after, you know, usual suspects and Kaisersauce.
	Talk to us about Will Smith.
	Unusual.
	I like this guy, but not exactly the first person I'd think of as the hero in a super high speed cyber thriller.
	You know, it's funny, actually, I don't remember when this started.
	It may have started with Will Smith and Bad Boys, but in the 90s, they started casting That's actually a really good point.
	Yeah, I hadn't really thought about that.
	Yeah, Eddie Murphy, Beverly Hills Cop, probably the first time that it ever happened.
	You don't think it probably started with that movie we reviewed with Beverly Hills Cop?
	That's actually a really good point.
	Yeah, I hadn't really thought about that.
	Yeah, Eddie Murphy, Beverly Hills Cop, probably the first time that it ever happened.
	I don't know if it happened very frequently after that though.
	After Will Smith was cast in Bad Boys, they started doing this with some frequency, like I said, and they've got Chris Pratt now in Guardians of the Galaxy, but it seems to work okay.
	When I was in Hollywood, I didn't actually believe this when they told me this, but a lot of casting directors, a lot of people in Hollywood would always say the same thing.
	If you can do comedy, you can do drama.
	But if you can do drama, you cannot always do comedy.
	And I didn't really buy that because I thought, because I've always had a sort of natural, naturally, fairly decent comedic timing.
	I can tell a joke, I can deliver a line okay, that's comedic.
	And to me, that just seemed natural and easy to do.
	But to be emotional, to cry, things like that, that always seemed harder for me.
	So whilst I could always do comedy, drama always seemed a little bit more difficult.
	And I actually came in to read a script once for a casting director, and I accidentally brought the wrong script.
	It was a dramatic reading.
	I brought a comedic script.
	And the casting director said, it's fine.
	If you can do comedy, you can do drama.
	Just let's do the comedic script.
	And I was like, that's the first time I ever heard that.
	And then I would hear it consistently after that.
	And it kind of turned out to be true.
	And I started to notice this.
	And Will Smith obviously became an enormous star after Bad Boys and after this film and after obviously his subsequent movies.
	And it turns out to be true.
	If you can do comedy, it's a pretty sure bet that you can do drama as well.
	So you think it works?
	You think Will Smith as the lawyer being hunted down by the rogue NSA works?
	Not exactly.
	Look, to me, he's not the best option for this particular uh character but he was so big at the time he was so hot at the time like this was a guy that people wanted to go to the movies to see this is i think before men in black maybe not maybe this is after that but he was a pretty big star at the time he was a draw he was cool he was a cool new guy uh coming up to do you know action type stuff so it was the right call probably at the time for this film but yeah there's a couple scenes where i'm watching it i'm thinking
	This is not ideal.
	Like, this could have been better.
	Not all the acting is exactly perfect.
	You know, I gotta blame Tony Scott a little bit for that, but he normally does a pretty epic job.
	But yeah, he's definitely likable, and I think, like I say, at the time, I think people really, really loved watching Will Smith in this film.
	I actually think Gene Hackman should have been made more the hero, and if there's one major flaw that I think this film has, it's the ending.
	I feel like the Gene Hackman plot at the end that fails, and then, you know, Will Smith just thinks off the top of his head, oh, I'll take them to see these mafia guys, and there'll be a shootout, and he sort of plans this in his head all at once, and then we see that play out at the end.
	I don't know, I feel like Gene Hackman just kind of got lucky You know, Gene Hackman's character got lucky that Will Smith could think on his feet like that.
	I feel like it would have been more satisfying had they developed a plan.
	You know, you see the plan get executed, you don't know exactly what's going to happen, but you see it play out exactly as Gene Hackman wanted because he's kind of supposed to be the master.
	You mean this super former spook free agent, the fact that Will Smith saves the day and not the genius level guy, that's a problem?
	I mean, in terms of planning, if he had saved the day in terms of like shooting somebody or, you know, doing something, doing some more action hero-y type thing, as opposed to thinking on his feet and making up the plan at the end, I feel like Gene Hackman's plan that we saw fail, it was, there was no way for it to succeed.
	You know what I mean?
	Like, they created this plan that we're supposed to think is, he's got a, he doesn't even seem to have an escape route, nothing.
	It just is like a plan that seems intentional for them to get caught almost, which would
	have been fine had that been part of the plan, but it clearly wasn't, and they just kind
	of got lucky at the end.
	And I hate it when the hero just gets lucky at the end.
	That just drives me crazy.
	It was a very piece, a very neat piece of writing, uh, that, you know, the, the Mafia Don, who's been videotaped, they say, you know, he, he's the person who the bad guys from the NSA think has their videotapes.
	So it's a nice circular return, but, but, and I do like, I do like the idea.
	I mean, it was a very neat idea as well that, In the meeting with the evil NSA deputy deputy director, where is Gene Hackman?
	He's disguised as a cop inside the cop, you know, car compound so the bad guys can't attack him.
	I thought that was quite neat as well.
	But yes, Will Smith very fortuitously Outsmarts the baddies with that Mafia connection and Gene Hackman is just left sitting in the van outside.
	It is 1998's Enemy of the State, Jerry Bruckheimer and the great, late Tony Scott.

	How did we get to a place where, yeah, The Deep State is real, and it works for the Democrat Party, Stroke, McCabe, Ray, Mueller, all of them.
	Katie has the answers.
	It's Next Gen Marxism, her new book with Mike Gonzales.
	Get it today.
	She has all the receipts.
	It's worth it just for the final chapter on what we do to defeat them.
	That's Katie Gorka, Mike Gonzales.
	Next Gen Marxism, what it is and how to combat it.
	This is the one showing promise.
	This is the security camera at the underwear store.
	Freeze there.
	Rotate a 75 degrees around the vertical, please.
	Freeze there.
	Times 10.
	Focus on the drop.
	Enhance, then forward frame by frame.
	All right.
	Now, just before the view's blocked, there's a shape change in Dean's bag.
	See the shadow variance?
	See?
	The shadow's wrong.
	Zavitz changed the configuration of Dean's packages.
	Is it a tape?
	It's hard to say for sure.
	These things are... Computer, take us around to the other side.
	It can hypothesize, Chris.
	Yeah?
	Can you rotate us 75 degrees around the vertical, please?
	What do you think it is?
	It looks a lot bigger than the tape.
	Savitz had digital compression equipment in his apartment.
	He could have downloaded it to anything.
	Or maybe the bag twisted in Dean's hands.
	Or something moved in front of the light and altered the shadow.
	Maybe it's nothing.
	Maybe it's everything.
	Until the credits rolled at the beginning of the movie, I completely forgot that Jack Black is in this movie.
	In a moment, we'll ask our friend whether he's a fan of Jack Black.
	Are you a fan of Jack Black?
	I used to be.
	Until his band did something naughty?
	Look, it's not even that bit, because that wasn't even him.
	I mean, he laughed at it.
	It was a bit of a joke.
	But he, Jack Black, cancelled the tour after his guitarist said he wished President Trump had actually been killed in Butler, Pennsylvania.
	He did actually cancel the whole tour.
	Look, yeah, and I just don't like that he's political, a leftist at all.
	I don't like any of the Hollywood people are lefties.
	I feel like when they come out as a lefty, I feel like they're either they're completely insane or they were on Epstein Island or both.
	I don't know.
	It just drives me nuts.
	It's like, how can you come out in favor of communism?
	Kamala Harris doesn't know what she's doing.
	You know, it's so obvious to me, if you're going to advocate something, at least know about something, right?
	If you're going to be an activist about politics, know about politics, right?
	Or shut the hell up, right?
	And that's kind of how I think about voting as well.
	I don't like this idea, everybody should vote, everybody should vote.
	No, only vote if you know what you're doing.
	If you have no idea what you're doing, I don't want you voting.
	So you don't agree with the Australian A system where it is a crime not to vote.
	Compulsory?
	Yeah.
	That's insane.
	That's insane to me.
	That's like a leftist dream scenario.
	You know what I mean?
	Where you have to get... I think we should raise the voting age as well because, look, Jack Black was so good.
	There was this movie called Orange County back in the day.
	I was kind of how Jack Black, that's like one of his... I'm not familiar.
	I just love him from School of Rock.
	School of Rock is great.
	I think he was even a child actor, actually, but I think Orange County was like a sort of big breakthrough role.
	It was with Tom Hanks' son.
	Sort of an indie-ish type film.
	I don't know if it was actually an indie film, but it was a sort of like, I don't know, kind of went under the radar, but it was funny.
	And he did so many great movies after that.
	He's been so funny in so many films.
	I love Tropic Thunder.
	I think that one is kind of an underrated film.
	It's known for Robert Downey Jr.
	and Blackface, which I also thought was hilarious.
	I think Blackface is hilarious.
	I think they should bring it back.
	Yeah, do not consider putting Tropic Thunder on our list of movie reviews.
	Okay, Chris?
	No, I wasn't planning on it.
	I wasn't planning on it.
	Yeah, a lot of lefties in that movie.
	But yeah, I don't know, whenever they come out, I always get a little bit sad.
	You know, Mark Hamill, obviously, one of the worst cases of Trump derangement syndrome we've ever seen.
	And it's always a disappointment, but it's to be expected.
	So you just kind of have to Hold your nose and, you know, if you ever have to rewatch their films.
	I think he did a great job in the movie, to be honest.
	And actually turns out to be, although he's in it up to his neck with the bad guys for, you know, an hour and 50 minutes, at the end, he turns out to have a little bit of a conscience because he's the techie who presses record.
	So you get Jon Voight.
	On tape, admitting to the multiple murders.
	Jack Black, what have you done?
	We're making movies great again.
	It's Enemy of the State, and I'm coming to you from the reliefactor.com studios.
	Baby, listen to this fascist gas bang!
	Freedom always existed in a very precarious balance, and when buildings start blowing up, people's priorities tend to change.
	She's got a point there, sweetie.
	I mean, who is this idiot?
	He is talking about ending personal privacy.
	Do you want your phone tapped?
	I'm not planning on blowing up the country.
	Well, how do we know until we've heard all your dirty little secrets?
	You're just gonna have to trust me.
	Oh, I know.
	We'll just tap the criminals.
	We won't suspend the civil rights of the good people.
	Right.
	Then who decides which is which?
	I think you should.
	You know, Bobby, I think you should take this more seriously.
	Honey, I think you're taking it seriously enough for both of us and half the people on the block.
	Regina King playing the wife, the beleaguered wife of Will Smith in Enemy of the State.
	This is Making Movies Great Again.
	Alright, Eric was annoyed that it took 50 minutes for us to see Gene Hackman.
	Really, this is a kind of sequel or homage to the 1974 movie The Conversation, in which Gene Hackman plays A spook who does surveillance.
	That was a Francis Ford Coppola movie, basically playing the same role 20 years later.
	Let's start with the first time that they meet.
	How'd you find out about the ferry?
	Who set that up for you?
	Rachel did.
	Wait, who was that other guy?
	What'd he say?
	Exactly.
	He said he was Brill.
	Did he say it or did you say it and he picked up on it?
	Come on, think.
	I said it.
	Damn it.
	You see, that's why I have rules.
	Is all this about Pintero?
	You think the mob uses devices like this?
	In your phone was a GPS sat tracker.
	Pulses at 24 gigahertz.
	I don't know what that means.
	It's like a lojack, only two generations better than what the police have.
	And what does that mean?
	You speak English?
	Obviously not that well.
	You're kind of a jerk, aren't you?
	Has there ever been a performance from Gene Hackman Where you don't instantly believe that he is the character.
	Instantly.
	Everything he did in this movie.
	I'm literally watching a movie going, Gene Hackman is a national treasure.
	Like his acting is superb.
	And I just like to go back to the previous clip that we watched there, where they're watching television, you know, the political show.
	I think they're watching Larry King.
	Yeah.
	They make a couple of references in this film about Conservatives or the right wing or whatever, things like that, kind of trying to suggest that it's the Republicans or the conservatives that are doing this, you know, privacy act, this privacy bill, that it's going to take away our rights, going to take away our privacy, going to enhance the surveillance state and stuff like that.
	And that did kind of end up happening in a way after 9-11.
	And it's funny because they're talking about, you know, I don't plan on blowing up any buildings.
	Well, What happened on 9-11?
	And actually, another interesting thing, which is really weird, is I think that the birthday of Gene Hackman's character is 9-11, also in the movie, which is really bizarre, yeah.
	I mean, these are not things that I saw in some kind of like making of video or something, or a review.
	I just noticed them as I'm watching the film, weirdly.
	But anyway, yeah, so after 9-11, there was a little bit more of a surveillance state, and it was in part driven by Republicans.
	But now we actually have, I would consider, you know, the corrupt departments, I think, are mostly in favor of the left, right?
	They're against the Conservatives.
	The weird thing about watching this movie is that, you know, the left-wing civil rights activist wife, I relate to her.
	You know, the one who says, well, who's going to monitor the monitors monitoring the monitors?
	And that's like, yeah, nobody's doing it now.
	They're just putting Steve Bannon in prison.
	So is this strange and the space of just, you know, 20 years, uh, the left are the bad guys running the agencies and who are they targeting?
	The conservatives, Chris.
	Yeah.
	You know, it's weird because I've always felt, even when I was a kid, actually, I felt like I believe in free speech.
	I actually do believe in free speech.
	I believed always in privacy.
	There's always this libertarian strain within the conservative party.
	There's always been that.
	There's this famous clip of Reagan saying, Somebody once said that if fascism ever comes to America, it's going to come in the form of liberalism.
	He says, what is fascism?
	And he kind of goes through it about how, you know, you're giving the government more control, more power.
	They are, you know, it's economic freedom, but with total government control, right?
	And this is exactly what Democrats want.
	This is what they advocate for openly.
	They are openly fascistic.
	And the left, of course, calls us fascists.
	They call us authoritarians.
	And I also always say, like, if you go far enough left, because what is leftism in America?
	It's a bigger government.
	It's more government control.
	It's more centralized power.
	What is the ultimate incarnation of that?
	It is totalitarianism.
	And when you get to the ultimate, and if you keep taking, you know, shrinking government, shrinking government, shrinking government, like Republicans want to do, conservatives want to do, The ultimate iteration of that is what?
	It's anarchy.
	So I don't believe in anarchy either, but it is not totalitarianism.
	It is not authoritarianism.
	So when they say that we're the fascists, I don't really think they understand anything about politics.
	No, but it is such the irony that everything has reversed in just the space of a generation.
	Oh dear, what do I do with this?
	We have a message from my producer who's spying on us right now as he should be busy making cuts for the next show, and he says, Tropic Thunder is one of the best movies ever made.
	Jeff, Jeff, Jeff, Jeff, Jeff, Jeff, what are we gonna do with you?
	Absolutely hopeless.
	Oh Jeff, we love you my friend.
	Absolutely hopeless.
	I really don't know why I chose you as my co-host.
	We have a rather different taste in movies.
	I'm not trying to go that far.
	I don't know if it's one of the best movies ever made, but it's funny.
	It's definitely funny.
	The idea always was that if one of us got out, he'd take care of the other's family.
	Rachel was all he had, so she became my promise to him.
	Here you go, hon.
	Thank you.
	Maybe we can still keep that promise in a way.
	You're a threat now, just like I was.
	Threat to whom?
	To them?
	To your family, to your friends, everyone you know, everyone you meet.
	That's why I went away and didn't come back.
	You ought to go away, Robert.
	No, I don't think so.
	This is my life.
	I worked hard for it, and I want it back.
	I grew up without a father, I know what that is.
	is. I will not allow my family to go through that.
	Who are the enemies of this state today?
	Not Gene Hackman.
	God bless him.
	Ninety-four years old.
	Not Will Smith.
	It's those who believe in the founding principles of the Republic.
	Conservatives who want us to make America great again.
	Today we're making movies great again.
	Here we have a little behind-the-scenes clip from Jon Voight, kind of warning us about what was going to happen.
	And he played the villain.
	Usually there's a check and balance in these organizations but every once in a while there's kind of an air pocket and somebody gets in there who's really not responsible and they can do some pretty bad things and this is the case with this fellow.
	Usually there's checks and balances, sometimes there's an air pocket and a bad guy gets into these agencies.
	Chris, the air pocket now surrounds the CIA, the FBI and the DOJ.
	Yeah.
	Yeah, the air pocket got really big.
	Really big.
	You know, this is the reason I picked this movie, I think.
	In a way, kind of to honor people like yourself, you know, those of us who are trying to fight against corruption in Washington, D.C., but also, I think, people like the January 6th protesters.
	Like, to me, one of the greatest injustices in our lifetime is the imprisonment of January 6th protesters.
	This, to me, is one of the most disgusting things.
	I kind of expect them to go after Trump.
	Is it beyond the pale?
	Yes, of course.
	They should never be using the power of the DOJ, the power of the justice system, to go after political enemies.
	To me, that is the ultimate sign of corruption.
	But they're going after January 6th protesters.
	I believe they always went after them to maintain the illusion that January 6th was an insurrection.
	They're going after—they always say, like, they're not going after me, they're going after you and I'm just in the way.
	Well, actually, in a way, they're going after Trump and the January 6th protesters were in the way, in a sense, in that they were using the January 6th protesters being arrested and put in prison as a way to say, look, what they did was horrible.
	And Donald Trump, Trump is responsible.
	And Trump supporters are evil, horrible, violent people.
	He's a violent mob.
	I mean, you heard Kamala Harris lying about it at the debate again.
	You know, police officers, so many, hundreds of police officers were injured and some died.
	No, none died, Kamala Harris.
	You're lying about that.
	You guys have been lying about that for years.
	Honestly, that's one of my big, big things.
	When Donald Trump gets into office again, he has got to pardon every January 6th protester.
	I feel like this is very, very critical because, to me, this is one of the great injustices.
	They are the true, currently, enemies of the state, January 6th protesters.
	Now I know why you chose this movie.
	I don't think my choice is going to be as deep and politically philosophical, but yeah, this is a lesson in how the tables turn and how the air pockets become the whole agencies themselves.
	All right, we have to pick a new movie to review next week.
	We have to rate this one.
	I don't know what I... Oh!
	The rating has got to be, I think, out of 10 smoke alarms.
	Because every bug was in the smoke alarms, okay?
	So, you're rating it for an audience today.
	I will rate it in the canon of all great movies.
	So, how many smoke alarms out of 10 will you give this movie, Chris?
	You know, I gotta say, whenever I'm in a hotel room, I always do look at the smoke alarm because of this movie, and I'm like, do I have to worry about that?
	Yeah, look, at the end of the day, this is better than I remembered, actually.
	I love this movie.
	Given the current state of affairs, I think everyone should watch it.
	On the other hand, I hate that the Gene Hackman character didn't actually plan the ending.
	And honestly, he could have, because he knew about this guy, because he did the investigative work to get the tape at the beginning.
	So it could have been his plan all along.
	I don't know why they didn't write it.
	That drives me crazy!
	So although I do think many, many, many people will love and enjoy this film, it is a little bit dated.
	It's, it's a little bit nineties, but I think they're going to like it.
	I, you know what, at the end of the day, I think I'll give it a nine just because everyone who watches it will like it.
	Yeah.
	I think they're going to like it.
	It's not one of my favorite films, but I think they're going to like it if they watch it.
	I just think it's a solid thriller.
	It is a little nineties and it is, you know, very Brockheimer-ish and Tony Scottish, but yeah, but it's a great movie.
	So I, in the panoply of movies.
	I'll give it a solid seven and a quarter.
	How about that?
	Wow, okay.
	I was expecting a seven, so that extra quarter... I was going to go seven and a half, but I thought, no, just seven and a quarter.
	It did well.
	It cost 90 million, a lot of money back then, and it grossed 250 million, so not too shabby, not too shabby.
	All right, I'm going to do something very prosaic.
	I'm not doing this for big political philosophical reasons, but maybe there's something that's going to You know, appear as we re-watch it.
	It is one of my favorite movies and my wife's.
	Absolutely.
	I love The Hunt for Red October.
	We have reviewed that.
	But I'm going to be lazy.
	I'm going to stick with Tony Scott and Jerry Bruckheimer again.
	This is one of their fifth outings together.
	And it's Crimson Tide with Denzel Washington and Gene Hackman again!
	Are you familiar with Crimson Tide, Mr. Coles?
	I have heard of Crimson Tide.
	I've never seen Crimson Tide.
	People have told me I have to watch it.
	I've been told many times I have to watch it.
	It's been on my list for years and I've never got to see it.
	So thank you, actually, for giving me the opportunity to finally force myself to go.
	To sit down and actually enjoy this film.
	Well, I hope you enjoy it.
	Just don't be faked out by the story.
	I'll give you a little heads up.
	The story of the Lipizzaners.
	Nothing.
	No more spoilers.
	Just the Lipizzaners are crucial.
	Amazing movie.
	Crimson Tide.
	I hope you have fun with that.
	In the meantime, make sure you are... Oh!
	In the meantime, what are you going to be smoking whilst you watch Crimson Tide?
	Years of research, we have finally found a cigar worthy of the Dr. G brand.
	It is the Liberty Cigar Teddy Roosevelt.
	Absolutely sublime.
	Get it today.

	Hold the line.
