	Let me have a look.
	Coming with two.
	Mm-hmm.
	We need to fire the generals.
	- Will do.
	They're not trying to empathize with us.
	They are making fun of us.
	Donald Trump thinks that people who work at McDonald's are a joke.
	Oh, poor AOC. Hey, Jeff, what happened with the quality of her videos?
	I mean, the angle's all wrong, the quality of the sound.
	Has she lost her donors?
	What's happened to AOC? She's supposed to be the social media expert, remember?
	She's the one that teaches all the Democrats how to do it.
	Dancing on the roof and stuff.
	You remember, right?
	Yeah, she's kind of out of it.
	I told you, everyone's kind of starting to feel a little bit down on that side.
	They know what's coming.
	But seriously, isn't it weird how the squad hasn't been a thing for like a year?
	That's by design.
	I think it's a good idea.
	To shut them down?
	Yes, exactly.
	But why is the McDonald's thing, why does it make them so salty?
	Well, also, she's the one kind of making fun of McDonald's.
	It was that little McDonald's costume.
	She was really talking down on that.
	It seems like she's the one that was making fun of the McDonald's workers.
	But it's not just her.
	It's Timmy Tim Walls as well.
	Coach Walls.
	Sorry!
	Chief.
	Isn't it Chief Coach?
	Yes.
	Chief Coach Walls.
	Here's Timmy Tim, Chief Coach Walls.
	Cut three.
	Vice President Harris and I grew up middle class.
	We understand that.
	She actually worked in a McDonald's.
	She didn't go and pander and disrespect McDonald's workers by standing there in your red tie and take a picture.
	His policies are the ones that undermine those very workers that were in that McDonald's, whether it's home ownership, health care, reproductive rights, or cost of product.
	Hang on.
	Eric, what did he say there at the end?
	That by going to work in McDonald's, he's making fun of abortion?
	What did he just say?
	You got me.
	I'm just so focused on the fact that once again, he started off with, by the way, he grew up middle class.
	As if that has anything to do with President Trump working a shift at McDonald's.
	But what has it got to do with mortgages and abortions?
	I can't even think of something funny or clever to say.
	That is just so nonsense.
	That's all they have is to say, we're middle class and abortion.
	Middle class, abortion.
	Middle class, abortion.
	That's all they have left at this point in the campaign with two weeks to go.
	All right.
	I'm going to read the letter from McDonald's that I mentioned yesterday.
	I've just sent it to you, Eric.
	But in the meantime, will you just play that cut again?
	Because I still can't believe what Chief Coach Waltz just said.
	Just play that again.
	Vice President Harris and I grew up middle class.
	We understand that.
	She actually worked in a McDonald's.
	She didn't go and pander and disrespect McDonald's workers by standing there in your red tie and take a picture.
	His policies are the ones that undermine those very workers that were in that McDonald's, whether it's home ownership, health care, reproductive rights, or cost of product.
	Right, because when I buy a Big Mac, all I think about is abortions.
	It's, you know, fillet of fish, mortgages.
	That's what I think about.
	Alright, so I want to salute.
	I texted the franchise owner in Pennsylvania.
	Haven't heard back from him yet.
	We'd love to get you on the show.
	You know who you are.
	But let's give credit to their mothership, to McDonald's.
	This is the official message, memorandum, they sent out across the McDonald's USA system.
	That does sound rather official.
	McDonald's USA. Earlier today, so this is on Sunday, former President Trump visited a McDonald's restaurant in Pennsylvania following a request made to our local franchisee.
	So it went to that restaurant.
	As we've seen, our brand has been a fixture of conversation this election cycle.
	While we have not sought this, it's a testament to how much McDonald's resonates with so many Americans.
	I was listening to my buddy Chris Plant's show today.
	Jeff, did you hear this?
	This stat that out of a nation of 330 million people, one in eight Americans has worked at McDonald's?
	Really?
	One in eight.
	Isn't that stunning?
	I would have never thought it was that high.
	That's incredible.
	I mean, think of all the people who can now relate to President Trump and what he did on Sunday.
	The letter continues, all the memorandum.
	McDonald's does not endorse candidates for elected office, and that remains true in this race for the next president.
	We are not red or blue.
	We are golden.
	So nice.
	So nice.
	Though we are not a political brand, we've been proud to hear former President Trump's laugh at McDonald's and Vice President Harris's fond memories working under the arches.
	We don't know where, but we like it.
	I added that bit.
	Sorry.
	While we and our franchisees don't have records for all positions dating back to the early 1980s, what makes one in eight so powerful is the shared experience so many Americans have had.
	One in eight.
	One in eight Americans.
	When owner-operator Derek Giacomantonio was approached by local law enforcement regarding former President Trump's desire to visit a Pennsylvania restaurant, he was proud to highlight how he and his team serve their local community and make delicious food like our world-famous french fries.
	Upon learning of the former president's request, we approached it through the lens of one of our core values, And this is italicized.
	We open our doors to everyone.
	It's with that same approach that franchisees have invited Vice President Harris and Governor Walz to their restaurants in order to share how McDonald's provides meaningful pathways to economic opportunity and feeds and fosters local communities.
	As this election season nears its completion...
	Oh, good Lord, can it come soon?
	Please...
	The resources we've shared in recent months will be especially important.
	For franchisees and restaurant teams and suppliers, please continue to reference the election toolkit previously shared and available in the links above.
	For company employees, be on the lookout for a reminder of the resources available to continue to support you.
	The strength of our brand always comes down to our people.
	McDonald's resonance and relevance is stronger than ever.
	This has been hard earned by your efforts and our collective belief in the power of us, all three legs of the stool.
	Thank you for everything you do for our brand, for serving our customers and communities with great pride, for upholding our core values, and for opening our doors to all.
	Well, I hope that is, in fact, a true statement of McDonald's corporate policy.
	And I have to ask our in-house diplomat, Alex.
	McDonald's has invited Kamala Harris to come back and work, and even Mike Walz to do a shift at the Fry Station.
	What do you think is going to happen in the next 14 days?
	Are they going to take them up on their offer?
	No, just like they did with the Al Smith dinner, either.
	Take that to the bookies.
	I think that is a very, very solid prediction.
	Jeff, what do you think of that letter?
	For a corporate letter, that was pretty solid.
	No, it was, too, because they just kind of stayed out of it and they didn't put anything in it.
	I was actually surprised.
	I would not have thought they would have done that.
	And the fact that they said, well, we don't have records of everyone working, but, you know, we...
	Maybe you worked here.
	It was gentle.
	It was nice.
	Eric, was that like the quintessence of a good corporate memorandum, 14 days before an election?
	It felt like we were back in an era of civility not seen since the 90s.
	One of the great American companies of all time is able to say, yeah, we're not red or blue or golden.
	That was a clever line.
	But yeah, to not bash him, to not bash them, just to say, hey, we're all Americans and we all love some french fries.
	Which is interesting because, what is it, Ray Kroc, I think the original guy behind McDonald's, was known for, let's just put it politely, being a rather undiplomatic individual, a bit of a hard charger, but this is the modern day McDonald's.
	Alright, we've only just begun.
	Are you having a Big Mac today?
	The Yellow Arches.
	I'm Sebastian Gorka.
	This is America First.
	Don't go anywhere for the next three hours.

	America First.
	Thank you.
	Thank you. - Who are you voting for this election?
	I'm voting for Teeny Jaguar.
	If you had to choose one of the candidates and you couldn't write in, who would you be choosing?
	Kamala.
	And is your girlfriend's boyfriend also voting for Kamala?
	Totally, yeah.
	Who are you voting for?
	I'm voting for Donald Trump, baby.
	Really?
	Yeah, really.
	Can you believe it?
	I'm shocked and appalled.
	So you're cat ladies for Harris?
	Yeah, yeah.
	I dearly hope that man was acting.
	Jeff, can you make sure, can you try and get that woman on the show in the next 90 seconds?
	Can you do that?
	Because that was a pretty cool video.
	You are the best executive producer on radio, right?
	No, you're going to do it?
	He's waving at me.
	He is going to do it.
	I don't know how he's going to do it, but maybe Mayor Pete can help with the transportation system.
	In the meantime, I'm Sebastian Gorka.
	This is America First, but it's Dr.
	G Mark II. What does that mean?
	Well, it means thanks to Dr.
	Ashley Lucas and her amazing team.
	I have shed a bit of excess luggage, about 42 pounds worth, in just a matter of months.
	My muse Katie lost 36 pounds.
	She looks stunning.
	When your wife needs a whole new wardrobe because everything is too big, The saying goes, happy wife, happy life, and it is true.
	No injections, no needles, no chemical dependency for the rest of your life.
	Just five protein-rich meals a day that burn the fat right off.
	I'm down to a size 36 in my blue jeans.
	I'm 6'3".
	I haven't been a size 36 away since I was in my 20s.
	It feels amazing.
	Find out for yourself.
	Call her team on 864-644-1900.
	See the before and after pictures.
	Mine will shock you at myphdweightloss.com.
	That's 864-644-1900, myphdweightloss.com.
	And we have that woman in studio.
	How did that happen?
	Who are you and are you the person in that video?
	I am, in fact, the person in that video.
	But you know what?
	I don't want people accusing me of witchcraft and all kinds of things.
	So I feel like they should know I got here actually by the great transportation system of our nation by train.
	But you're supposed to be here like two hours ago and you literally just walked in.
	I just walked in, yes.
	And I changed very fast in the bathroom.
	I was actually less formal than this.
	I'm sorry.
	Pretty informal.
	Less formal.
	Even less.
	I was in travel mode.
	But thanks to Mayor Pete, you know, I think if he had taken a longer paternity leave, I could have gotten here sooner.
	He's still on paternity leave, right?
	I think he's still on.
	Like three years later.
	Yeah, yeah, yeah.
	Well, you know that birth pangs and the post-birth stuff, that's tough getting through that, right?
	It's very hard.
	The hormonal stuff for the guys especially.
	Well, his hormones especially, for sure.
	He probably needed time to get back from everything.
	But yeah, so God bless America.
	And then I had a female Uber driver...
	Can you tell us, there's three and a half people listening, who are you first?
	I am Erin Wexler.
	I run the Instagram account Non-Lib Take.
	And that video you saw is one of the many videos I do.
	I do.
	Okay, she's doing that bench a pair of speed here.
	Okay, Erin Wexler, Non-Lib Take.
	It is hilarious.
	We met through the great offices of Emily Saves America, right?
	Yes, I think it was through Emily in our collab videos.
	So we're going to show one of those videos later.
	So who are you?
	What do you do?
	And how did you get to do this?
	Wow.
	Are you a comedian?
	What is your label?
	Are you an influencer, a content creator?
	How would you describe yourself?
	Or are you just a patriot?
	I'm a patriot and I would say I'm funny for a woman.
	Oh my gosh, that's quite a misogynist statement, but we love it.
	Funny for a woman, okay?
	Yes, it's true though.
	But also I would say the bar is low for that.
	Sorry, I interrupted you.
	What's it with your Uber driver?
	My Uber driver, yes.
	What's going on?
	Is there a plot against you?
	We're going to weave.
	It actually takes a great genius.
	Big brain to weave in and out.
	Does anybody know what we're doing right now?
	Eric, do you know what we're talking about when we say we're weaving?
	I'm not familiar with weaving, but I am familiar with the term big brain, so I'm glad you used that term.
	Eric doesn't know who we is.
	He doesn't know.
	Oh, we're going to go through the TV. This is going to be the test of how MAGA you are.
	Alex, do you understand the reference to weaving?
	Yes, it's Donald Trump's move, the weave.
	Whoa, dude!
	He gets double Big Macs today.
	Alex, the man flying the Starship Enterprise.
	How about Chick-fil-A? Okay, we can do Chick-fil-A. It's not a Sunday.
	So where did he do the weave thing?
	I think it was Andrew Schultz, right?
	It was Schultz, right?
	Jeff, did you see this thing about the president explaining the weaving?
	He also did that at CPAC. He did, but he didn't keep talking.
	It's the weave.
	I weave.
	Okay, you've got to get us those cuts.
	Just get us one cut for the Shultz podcast.
	I was there at CPAC, and he started this story about landing in Baghdad with the lights off, no run, and he's just absolutely bricking himself that it's not going to work out well.
	And then he goes off on this other thing about negotiating with Mexico for 15 minutes.
	And he literally returned to the same sentence in the Iraq story 20 minutes later and he said, that's weaving.
	That's weaving.
	It's true.
	He's talented.
	And I'm going to try to be half as talented as he is at this.
	So my Uber driver, I think that someone at Uber, some leftist pixie haircut I've seen your Instagram?
	I've seen my Instagram and decided that they wanted revenge on me because I have spoken about my disdain for female Uber drivers in the past.
	There are Daily Mail articles about this.
	No, no, no.
	Are you serious?
	I am serious.
	So let's go through the whole plot here against you.
	I'm sure George Soros is involved as well.
	What is your issue with female Uber drivers, Erin?
	So I would say it's partly an issue with the female Uber drivers and partly a preference for being able to request only male Uber drivers, which is different.
	It's just positive for men.
	So with the women, what got me in trouble with the Daily Mail was I made a video talking about the fact that, you know, women always complain that they don't make the same I'm out of money as men, but it's because women typically don't take the same jobs as men.
	And one of the ways that you even see this difference within the same job is that with male Uber drivers, they will always take my luggage and put it in the car for me when they arrive.
	You mean a woman won't do that?
	They sit at that front wheel.
	They sit there like, oh!
	I thought we were equal!
	You know why?
	It's because women don't help other women.
	That's why.
	So I'm in the back like, oh, I'm there just like trying to...
	Are you saying that?
	Not all, but average.
	On average.
	They won't help you with your luggage?
	For them, no.
	And you know, you get like the old men who are Uber drivers.
	Yeah, yeah, yeah.
	And they're insisting on putting the suitcase in for you.
	And the women don't do it.
	And they sit up there.
	And I'm like, well, I'm also a woman.
	I also need help.
	And they get paid the same as men.
	So that bothers me.
	But also, there are like, you know, DEI, like, you know, feminist, leftist parts of Uber and Lyft, where they actually allow you to request female only or female identity.
	Oh, no, no, no, no, no.
	So if you're a woman and you want, and listen, I do understand.
	I just want to say for anyone who is going to make this point, I know that there are safety concerns with these apps.
	But you didn't choose that.
	You haven't chosen?
	I haven't chosen this.
	So you are a victim of the DEI algorithm?
	No, I'm a victim, I think, of a very intentional settings change on my back end where I only get female Uber drivers now because I discussed this kind of prolifically on my profile.
	But I want an option the same way women can choose to have women-only drivers.
	I would pay a premium for only male Uber drivers if I want to get somewhere fast.
	Elon?
	Are you listening?
	We need a competitor to Uber where especially the talent of Graham can have the male-only driver.
	I have used Ubers now and again.
	I'm not a big fan because I love to drive.
	I think I've had two Uber drivers since Uber was created that were women.
	I've had two in the last day.
	I'm cursed.
	I'm absolutely cursed.
	Yeah.
	We need to have some equity in this nation.
	Let's get President Trump back in the White House.
	Non-lib take on Instagram.
	Erin Wexler.
	It's spelled dyslexically.
	A-R-Y-N-N-E. I don't know why.
	Follow her.
	Erin Wexler on Twitter as well.
	Instagram.
	ErinWexler.com.
	I'm Sebastian Gorka.
	Give me a follow.
	It's going to be 14 days of craziness and then it gets really lunatic on all the platforms.
	You can watch us as well by downloading the Salem News Channel app.
	And don't forget my Substack for unique content and direct access to me, sebastriangorka.substack.com.
	We'll be talking about something else funny next week.
	Don't go anywhere.
	ALISON HAWKINS: Also, I love how you say it dyslexically.
	I actually call it my black girl name.
	Has it been your key to success?
	It is, for sure.
	That and braces for four years with the palette expander, that was tough.
	At what age?
	Like 5th to 8th grade, whatever those ages are.
	My wife hates me because I have these teeth with no braces and I grew up in England.
	Yeah, that's...
	How do you do that?
	Wow.
	Way to brag.
	Way to brag.
	Come on, English.
	But we wound up in...
	English, I know.
	You must have been a king.
	A king growing up with those teeth.
	No, I just acted like one because I was an only child.
	Yep, yep, yep.
	So you ready for tonight?
	No.
	Who else is going to be on?
	They haven't told me anything.
	I don't watch the show and I see that he usually has people pitted against each other like some crazy leftist.
	So I'm going to go up against someone.
	They want a gotcha moment either way.
	They're not my friends there.
	They're not there to make me look good.
	They're there to get clicks.
	And I'm exhausted, as I'm sure you are.
	Just the two weeks before the election, I'm doing tons of stuff for monetization to make up for the year.
	You'll have to teach me how to do that.
	Happily.
	I think you're probably on a good track.
	No, I don't monetize in my social media.
	Really?
	I know, but the way I monetize it is by getting ads and posting things on my stories and in my page and things like that.
	But I'm like churning.
	Like churning, like I'm just pumping.
	Do you have a tea?
	I'm pumping things out.
	No, it's me and I have a girl who edits my videos and that's it.
	Wow.
	Yeah, yeah.
	Wow.
	So I'm getting like four or five hours of sleep at night right now.
	That's not too bad.
	No.
	Yeah, but some of us don't get to wake up looking, you know, naturally beautiful.
	Yeah.
	All right, so what shall we do here?
	Oh!
	Come in with five, then I'll do my pillow, and then we'll talk McDonald's.
	Oh, and we've got to put the one up of the king of all memes yesterday.
	What was that?
	With President Trump, with the paint roller, removing the MC of McDonald's.
	That was the best.
	I said that won it.
	You won the interwebs.
	He's just so epic.
	Will you download that image?
	I just texted it to you.
	Oh, okay, yeah.
	By the way, I was at the Steelers game Sunday night, Oh, you were?
	I went to the Pittsburgh voter registration thing with Antonio Brown.
	Let's talk about that.
	Yeah, I went to the game and I wasn't obviously in the box with Trump.
	I tried.
	Alex Bruce was there at the thing and I was like, hey!
	And we were like, sure.
	Obviously, we couldn't make it happen.
	And Antonio Brown took my hat and I was like, how about I get the hat back from you?
	From the suite.
	He wasn't about it.
	But they didn't announce him at all.
	Really?
	It was totally...
	It's like you have the Alabama game where they're like, President Trump.
	And at Steelers, they didn't mention him.
	They weren't showing him on the Jumbotron.
	Nothing.
	Huh.
	Nothing.
	So we could talk about that if you want.
	Totally.
	Yeah.
	Coming in with five, and then pillar.
	We'll be right back.
	No surprise, the man who's never had an actual job in his life did not actually work at McDonald's.
	It was a half-hour photo op at a closed McDonald's, and the people he served were pre-selected supporters.
	He's not the common man.
	This is all just blue-collar drag, but with more makeup.
	I'm confused.
	So now drag is a bad thing, Colbert?
	I thought you were a champion of drag and now it's a punchline for a joke that didn't do too well.
	We'll discuss why they're still smarting from President Trump bringing at the Fry Station in that McDonald's.
	If you enjoy the show, support those who make it possible and annoy the left.
	Why?
	Mike Lindell is detested by the left, the inventor of the MyPillow, of which he sold more than 81 million.
	Yes, it is that good.
	I rest my cranium on one every single night.
	They want to cancel him for good.
	So every time you purchase something from his website, a liberal cranium explodes.
	It's true.
	Fact checkers, check it out.

	Mypillow.com.
	Promo code G-O-R-K-A. Our guest, Aaron Wexler, was at the Steelers game.
	We'll talk about that momentarily, but I've got to get your take.
	Why are they complaining so much?
	Let's run the B-roll in the back.
	About President Trump, who we've known for a long time.
	He was doing ads for McDonald's in the 90s with Grimace.
	Do you remember those?
	Why are they so apoplectic over him going to McDonald's?
	I mean, they have fact-checkers saying, he didn't work there.
	They didn't pay him.
	It was just an hour.
	Like, oh, really?
	Really?
	I mean, they don't know what else to do because he won the news cycle, right?
	It's so epic.
	And you know what?
	One of the great things about Trump, there are many great things, but one of them is the man just continues to become more of a legend.
	As each decade goes by, like in the 90s, he was New York celebrity businessman, right?
	And his arc, I've never seen an arc like this ever with someone who just continues to have better moments.
	So you're famous for being the guy who changed the skyline, fixed the ice rink after...
	I just listened to the whole story on the Great Red Pill podcast.
	Six and a half years, $12 million, and they couldn't fix it.
	He comes in four months later for $2 million.
	It's beautiful.
	He changed Atlantic City.
	He saved downtown.
	But then the TV show, the rap songs, and now President.
	So here's my take on this.
	And you tell me, because you are an influencer.
	I've never been President.
	I've worked for him.
	I couldn't do that.
	I would be so petrified of screwing it up on camera.
	Like, you know, the whole salt shaker would explode or I'd put on the apron backwards.
	I couldn't.
	And I'm not a bashful guy.
	The fact that he did it, isn't that just nuts?
	But he is a man of the people.
	He feeds off of people, which is, by the way, I'm certain that's why in the debates they made sure there was no audience, because the man, that's his fuel.
	Then that's his compass.
	That's his North Star.
	And I just want to say, in case people don't remember this, in Jared Kushner's autobiography of his time in the White House, he talked about how he knew President Trump had recovered from COVID when he ordered a Big Mac.
	That's the metric.
	OK, tell us about what happens at the Steelers game.
	So I went to the Steelers game this weekend.
	There's been a big push in Pennsylvania.
	I was at the rally that Elon Musk was speaking at, or at the town hall, rather.
	And we're at the Steelers game, a group of us influencers.
	And President Trump comes in, and they don't announce him.
	They're not talking about the fact that he's there.
	People might remember really epic shots of him going to that Alabama football game a few weeks ago.
	Nothing like that in the stadium, which is crazy because I saw so many MAGA hats in that stadium.
	Before he arrived.
	Yeah, just like the people in the audience.
	Throughout the game, I would walk around, go to the concession stand.
	People were in MAGA hats.
	I was in a MAGA hat, walking by people.
	Everyone was saying, love your hat.
	But they were never panning to him.
	President Trump, a former president, is in the stadium, and they're acting like, you know, they're just showing random people in the stadium on the Jumbotron.
	He's up there with Antonio Brown, and you're not showing that?
	So it's, you know, very unequal treatment.
	We'll talk a little bit about Elon.
	We've got 50 seconds left in this segment with Aaron Wexler.
	That's A-R-Y-N-N-E. How was the town hall with Musk?
	Because he was there with us in Butler, and people started chanting his name while Trump was speaking.
	I'm thinking, this guy has got such a following.
	Yes.
	He has such an amazing following.
	They were doing the same thing in Pittsburgh, chanting his name.
	And I'm pretty excited about this because in the last election, there were actually 10 million fewer men who voted than women.
	And what I'm hoping that Elon can do is actually bring in the men, because that's really what we need.
	We're not going to win these female liberal voters who only care about abortion, right?
	That's not what we're getting.
	We need the people who really are aligned with our politics.
	And who could drive Ubers for you.
	And can drive Ubers for me.
	Praise God, please.
	But for some reason, they just haven't gotten themselves to vote in the past, so hopefully this time around.
	It's a fascinating dynamic.
	We were there, and the president was still speaking.
	And then there's just this organic chant begins amongst the young men at Butler, Elon, Elon, Elon.
	That's even before he got up on stage.
	I'm Sebastian Gorka.

	Everything is like twice the price it used to be.
	I literally cannot afford groceries.
	Right, but did I mention I was raised in a middle-class family?
	Inflation is literally unbearable.
	I'm literally so hungry.
	But I have celebrity endorsements from Taylor Swift and Oprah, but they're billionaires.
	Did I mention I was raised in a middle-class family?
	I can certainly do more of that.
	We'll get the answers from Erin Wexler.
	And the other lady you saw there is Emily Saves America.
	Emily Wilson, right?
	Emily.
	Emily Wilson.
	I'm Sebastian Gorka.
	This is America First.
	Delighted to welcome to The Fold the Tunnel to Towers Foundation as one of our sponsors.
	This was the organization created after 9-11 to support the families of those who lost firefighters, first responder heroes on that day.
	They've expanded their remit to support our warfighters as well.
	The families of those who lost a loved one in battle or whose family member has come home catastrophically wounded.
	They create custom homes that comport with their injuries and provide them as gifts, mortgage free.
	It costs just $11 a month to support this incredible cause.
	It's time to give back to those who have given so much for us.
	Will you be one of the members of the Tunnel to Towers Foundation?
	Please go to T2T.org today and support our heroes.
	That's the letter T, the number two, the letter T.org.
	Erin, we haven't spoken about how you got to do what you do.
	What did you do in the past?
	And when did you decide that you're just going to fight for America on Instagram?
	So, yes, fighting on the battlefield that is Instagram.
	The deadly battlefield.
	Very deadly.
	I was working in finance right out of school.
	I was at a small bank called Goldman Sachs, if you've ever heard of it.
	And then, yeah, and then I was working in tech on the business side.
	You're one of them.
	I'm one of them.
	But I was never one of them.
	But that's why the left doesn't know what to do with me, because I was a part of all these institutions and had the jobs at all the places that...
	You're like a globalist.
	Oh, God, don't...
	Oh God, it's like garlic to a conservative.
	What happened?
	I've always been conservative, but I was just on this track.
	Did your colleagues know?
	I've always been like this.
	I was always, as my brother calls me, radical.
	And I grew up as, you know, a conservative Jew in New York.
	And it was very unusual.
	And when I was 10 years old, I was addicted to Fox News and the O'Reilly factor.
	Were your parents conservative?
	They are conservative.
	But I'm pretty extreme.
	It got to the point where I wasn't sleeping at night because I was so upset about how the left was ruining our country that my parents said that they were going to have to take Fox News away from me if I didn't go to bed on time.
	So you chose Newsmax instead?
	Yeah, so I chose Newsmax.
	So yeah, that's when I got the Wall Street Journal, the New York Post, and that hard copy of the New York Post, that was what I was reading at night.
	But really, that's how I grew up, and I was the one that asked my parents if we could learn how to shoot guns, which was very unusual for New York, and many stories about that.
	So what then, how did the social media start?
	So I just had a lot of friends who've been telling me for years it was time to do it.
	And it was a couple liberal friends from New York who really pushed me and said just start posting videos.
	Started posting on TikTok.
	Three weeks later it went viral.
	Another three weeks later it went viral.
	And it kind of went from there and it just became too big that I decided it was time to leave tech because I want to mainstream being conservative.
	And I think a great part of our movement, but a part that's very specific, is that you don't have to be into country music, cowboy boots, Nashville, and have that cultural element to be conservative.
	I want to show you could be urban, female, maybe live in a condo in New York City or Miami.
	And be based, and vote for Trump, and just be normal.
	We can meet you and your culture too, and you could still be with us and be a part of our movement.
	So that's really what I'm trying to show.
	And I'm also trying to do it through humor, because I think sometimes a silly meme or a funny skit, like what you showed with me and Emily, could be very, very effective with people.
	Can I do something that's not funny?
	That's very unfunny?
	All right, we'll get back to humor in a second.
	But we've talked about Elon.
	And my son's worried for me.
	He says, I need to detox from the Elon posts on social media.
	He actually said that to me yesterday.
	Because the algorithm got me.
	And I'm just, I discovered this guy recently, you know, shook his hand at Butler.
	I'm really impressed with this guy.
	And here he is explaining what he literally achieved that no other human being has achieved with a 250-ton rocket.
	And I just want to play it for three and a half million people who may not have seen it.
	So we'll get back to being funny in a second.
	But here's Elon Musk explaining what he just did that nobody else has ever done.
	Cut 15.
	It's a custom-built tower with arms that are designed to catch the largest and heaviest flying object ever made.
	And pluck it out of the air.
	I mean, that's the theory anyway.
	So...
	Nealon just said, you know, delete the legs, delete.
	We're like, well, just use the arms.
	And then you said it again, and you go, wow, you're serious.
	Okay, we better get on this.
	And now it seems normal.
	It'll weigh about...
	250 tons.
	We'll make that lighter over time.
	So you got like, you know, a couple hundred tons plummeting at more than half the speed of sound.
	So this thing is still coming in really fast.
	Yeah.
	Pretty much down in a downward direction.
	So then they light the engines.
	So it's going to slow itself down very fast and correct any error.
	So whatever the XY error is, when the engines land, it's going to take out the XY error.
	And then drop the velocity to basically zero.
	Come in between the arms.
	The arms will be wide.
	And as it's coming in, the arms will close.
	Go flush against the side of the vehicle.
	And the vehicle will be descending through the arms.
	And those tiny little...
	You can barely see them.
	The little knobs, those kind of lifting lugs will touch the top of the arms, and then it will hopefully not shear off and crumple.
	Success is one of the possible outcomes.
	The probability is uncertain, but it is above zero.
	You laughed, but for me, that's the line.
	We're going to try and catch a 250-ton, the largest man-made object to ever fly, coming in at 600 feet per second.
	And success is maybe possible or maybe not.
	Yes.
	How lucky are we to have Donald Trump and Elon alive today in America?
	I mean, we were saying that as this was playing.
	We're so lucky to have them.
	The two of them are the two men really standing up between the nihilists and a successful, prosperous civilization.
	That's really how I see it.
	Success is uncertain, but I've got to do it anyway!
	That's the American way.
	Going back to Butler, where he was shot in the head at a bullet, traveling at 3,000 feet per second, or revitalizing our whole space program after it was literally shot down.
	I just want to remind everybody listening out there, do you recall what Obama did?
	They shut down the space shuttle program, and then he ordered the director of NASA that his next mission for the whole agency was to do inter-US Muslim civilizational relations.
	That was the mission of NASA. Muslim outreach.
	And now we have President Trump and Elon Musk.
	It's time to get him.
	Oh, how about both of them back in the White House?
	Now that is bloody exciting.
	I'm Sebastian Gorka.

	Yeah.
	I started reading it a while ago, then I put it down.
	It's a lot of detail, so I was like, I'm going to go through some other books for a second.
	Coming with eight.
	it's they're sending the car here right They're sending it here.
	So I was going to run across the street to Kava and grab something because I'm going to like West Virginia.
	Well, you can hang out here.
	Come back, bring it here.
	Just hang out in the green room.
	Thank you.
	Yeah, because I'm going to leave at 4.30.
	Yeah, I get to see my friend first and then I go to whatever this is going to be.

	It's time we put America first.
	We've been helping countries for 50 years.
	We've been helping them for 50 years, never stops.
	And when we need help from them, they're not there.
	So that's the way it is.
	Time to stop wasting our money on other countries.
	Would you play that B-roll and just quickly pause it because I want to make a comment to some of my friends out there.
	We are talking to our friend Erin Wexler.
	Please follow her on Instagram and just propagate her content everywhere because you're on Twitter as well, right?
	Share it because Instagram is so stupid you can't share stuff.
	Can you freeze it?
	I got multiple texts and DMs yesterday from friends across the planet including the UK impressed that I was standing next to President Trump yesterday.
	I'm sorry.
	I'm not that guy.
	And have you ever seen me in a casual shirt next to the president or ever in real life at a public event?
	No.
	I appreciate and applaud it.
	But that's not me!
	Get it right next time.
	We've got two minutes left to discuss humor and we could talk about this for hours.
	Watch this lady to understand how it's done.
	Do you have any...
	Do you have a short answer as to why the patriots really don't get this form of art?
	No, I mean, I think that the way we think on the right is very different than the left.
	So, you know, like Ben Shapiro's famous phrase, facts don't care about your feelings.
	So I say feelings don't care about the facts.
	That's how leftists vote.
	That's how people actually vote at the end of the day.
	And that's how they win elections.
	And that's how they win elections.
	And you just look at late night TV for decades.
	SNL, all these late night shows, that's really what guided the way people voted.
	I think at the end of the day, the facts don't matter.
	Even all these other news cycles don't matter.
	We see how fast the news will change.
	At the end of the day, it's the feeling that someone has when they walk into that voting booth.
	And what the left has done very effectively is make people think, and this is serious, not funny, but they walk in and they feel so much shame for voting for an evil Republican.
	We're a Republican, evil orange man, that even in the privacy of a voting booth where no one will ever know, they can't bring themselves to vote that way.
	And that's why I think we need to be the party of levity and fun.
	And we really are becoming that.
	We're the cool kids.
	We are the cool kids now.
	Trump is, and he is a natural comedian.
	He is hilarious.
	He is gangster.
	Oh my gosh, how long is the weave cut?
	Play it anyway.
	Play it.
	You know, I do a thing called a weave.
	And there are those that are fair that say, this guy is so genius.
	And then others would say, oh, he rambled.
	I don't ramble.
	If I saw the story, what you do is you weave things and you do it.
	You have to have certain things.
	You need an extraordinary memory because you have to come back to where you started.
	A weave is only good if you come back.
	They would give you credit for that.
	That you could go all the way over here and then get back.
	I can go so far here or there.
	And I can come back to exactly where I started.
	Now, someday when you don't come back...
	All right, we're going to play the whole cut later in the show.
	But that's it.
	It's the art of the weave, and you have to be a genius.
	And it's also about the emotions.
	We have the truth.
	We have the facts, Benny.
	Little Benny.
	But it's also about the emotions.
	That's why the McDonald's visit matters.
	It's about empathy.
	It's about connection.
	If we want to win, we have to understand that.
	14 days to go.

	And he did lead an insurrection in his country.
	And I know you keep saying the thing about the peace and patriotic part, but he also said...
	He offered National Guard troops to Nancy Pelosi.
	She didn't want to take it.
	Look, here's what I can tell you...
	But he also said, we fight like hell.
	And we fight.
	We fight like hell.
	And if you don't fight like hell, you're not going to have a country anymore.
	And if you don't fight like hell, you're not going to have a country anymore.
	Every politician, when you go out on the stump, talks about- Even after you got shot at, which was terrible.
	First thing you do when you stood up was say, fight, fight, fight, fight who?
	He wants to keep fighting for this country.
	And you know, this is my father-in-law.
	Just when you thought Charlemagne, the dyslexic god, was finally seeing some sense, he has to say he started an insurrection?
	Oh dear, dear, dear.
	It's strange how you didn't have issues when certain Joe Biden said, if you're not voting for me, you ain't black.
	I just wanted to get that cut out of the way before we talk about more serious things.
	With our regular guest, our fan favorite here on America First, the author of a seminal work you must have on your bookcase, The Political and Strategic History of the World, Volume 1.
	Volume 2 will be imminent, Lord Conrad Black.
	Welcome back to America First.
	Thanks very much, Sebastian.
	Good to be back with you.
	So it's all our discussions, how many man hours we've dedicated to analyzing American politics over the years.
	I feel a little as if I'm Alice in Wonderland.
	I might be dreaming.
	Is it in fact possible we may be two weeks away from the election?
	Has it finally arrived?
	It's certainly possible.
	We are two weeks away from it.
	Not only that, as of now, you tell me if you've got a different view, but I I think the prospects for the re-election of the 45th president are very good.
	They are very good.
	We had dinner with a former member of the Trump cabinet yesterday who went into some internal polling.
	I won't give all the details, but every one of the swing states bar one.
	The current moment in time is in the Donald J. Trump camp.
	Do we expect, I mean...
	And of course, nobody has a crystal ball, Lord Black, but they tried one October surprise with that filing, that egregious filing of rehashed smears from Jack Smith.
	We've only got 14 days left.
	Is that enough time to drop another attempt at an October surprise?
	What will your expectations be?
	I don't think so, but You see, if they had something like the Billy Bush tape debate years ago, I think they would have seen it by now.
	Yes.
	I think we should assume that they'll do their best with the harvested ballots and sending back unverified, mysteriously signed ballots.
	But that is much, much harder now than it was four years ago.
	Then you had all these special rules supposedly to facilitate voting during the pandemic.
	And a number of the key states, including Georgia, for example, have reformed their voting and vote counting rules.
	And the Republicans are now ready for illegal challenges, which they weren't four years ago, in case there should be a need for it.
	But I don't think it's going to happen.
	But no, I think if they had a surprise, Since they appear to be in full panic mode now, they would have sprung the surprise.
	It would be a more cool-headed, calm, rational group than the Democrats now appear to be that hung in there later than this to the last 10 days before an election, before pulling any rabbit that they had out of the hat.
	I mean, the fact is, I think the fundamental problems are the country We cannot re-elect this administration, which is what a Harris vote would do.
	And they will not forget that in Trump's time, per capita disposable income went up 8%.
	And in the Biden-Harris years, it went down by 3.5%.
	And, you know, that's a big spread, and it's a lot of money to a lot of people.
	Now, it wasn't a debate.
	It wasn't a policy town hall.
	But I'm so curious, given your history of works on presidential administrations in the U.S. It's called retail politics.
	I don't know why, but let's play the footage in the background.
	The Sunday visit to the McDonald's.
	It seems to just—the left have just gone insane.
	We're having fact-checkers in the last two days, Lord Black, who are writing articles saying, no, it's not true.
	He didn't work at McDonald's.
	He didn't receive a paycheck, and he was only there for an hour.
	This would be a Monty Python skit 40 years ago.
	So why is this, A, seemingly so effective, and B, the reaction from the establishment is just hilarious?
	Yeah, it is hilarious.
	They're still wedded to the theory that Trump is a man with cloven feet and horns protruding from his head that he disguises under his hair, and that he's obviously manifestly unfit because of moral turpitude and mental derangement to hold the office that he has already successfully held for four years and is favored to regain.
	And so, as you saw in, for example, In Vice President Harris' interview with Bret Baier of Fox News, her answer to every question was, I hate Trump.
	I mean, why haven't you done all these things you're talking about?
	I hate Trump.
	You know, you say there's no discernible difference between you and Joe Biden, and yet, you know, the country, two-thirds of it, thinks more than that.
	That it's in the wrong direction.
	What's your answer to that?
	Why do you set their minds at ease?
	I hate Trump is I hate Trump is everything.
	And now, I mean, this is normal, intelligent, amusing politics.
	You go in and do a thing like this, and it's a great photo op and a great, like just what we're watching.
	Terrific news film for him.
	And they're chatting with the people in their cars and so on.
	But There's no earthly objection to it, but because it doesn't conform with their view and their defamatory presentation of Trump as an oaf and an ogre and a sociopath and some kind of a thug, they just become hysterical, as in so many other things.
	Trap door opens on their forehead and a cuckoo bird flies and screeching.
	And that's what we're getting.
	Why are these events, these so-called retail politics, why are these done?
	What is their effect?
	Because seemingly it's had a great effect on the candidates.
	We're having Tim Walz.
	We're having Kamala Harris meltdown.
	Why is a visit like this part and parcel of running a presidential campaign?
	Kent, I mean, here's a man who's been one of the most famous people in the world for decades.
	He's an ex-president.
	He's a billionaire.
	He's a very controversial man.
	And all sorts of outrageous things are said about him.
	He is, you know, setting out in a normal, politically normal way, like Franklin D. Roosevelt eating hot dogs or Harry Truman, you know, going to the baseball game and eating a sandwich and so on.
	I mean, President Eisenhower's barbecue, you know, I mean, they set out to show that despite there being presidents or candidates for president, that they're in many ways just normal people that you would be happy to You know, to have a chat with if you encountered them, which in his case, by the way, is nothing but the truth.
	But, you know, that's just normal, as you say, retail politics.
	Never mind that I'm famous, that I'm rich, that I was the president, I'm running for president.
	I'm actually a person you can relate to.
	I mean, that's what politics is in a democracy.
	And I read the very well-formulated letter from corporate headquarters at McDonald's in the last hour, which was gracious, said we're not a political institution, our doors are open to any candidate.
	And they invited Kamala and Tim Walz to come and work his shift.
	Your expectations in the next 14 days, is that going to happen, Lord Black?
	No, because they would see it as imitation of Trump and they'd be too embarrassed to do it.
	But they may try something similar, you know, like one of them dealing with customers in a department store or something.
	But even then, I think they would feel that they were just imitating him and it wouldn't work.
	They're going to have to think of something new to do.
	And neither they nor the managers of the Democratic campaign strike me as hugely imaginative.
	I think they shot the bolt when they pulled the rug out from under the president.
	Yeah.
	You know, they've done their best, but they have a candidate that they can't put in a serious interview.
	And she doesn't even manage an unserious interview.
	I mean, she couldn't even manage softballs from Oprah or those women, you know, in The View or whatever it's called.
	I mean, if you swing and miss at a slow ball the size of a basketball, you're not going to do well in an interview with a serious journalist.
	He's written three presidential histories.
	His latest work is an even larger, larger examination of, oh, just the history of our civilization, political and strategic.
	He is Conrad Black.
	Follow him on his website, Conrad M. Black, on Twitter, at Conrad M. Black.

	We'll be back with Lord Black in a moment.
	Lord Black in a moment.
	Egregious chicanery.
	Nothing but the truth in this case.
	Indeed.
	It's a diplomatic way of phrasing it.
	Oh, I didn't use cut four.
	All right.
	Come in with cut four.
	Okay.
	I can't read my scribble.
	What was I going to do here at the top of B? Was it Trump Force?
	Oh, cigars.
	No, I will do cigars.
	Come in with four, and then I'll do cigars, and then we will talk about what happens if President Trump wins.
	For the Wexler title, you said, who said Ben Shapiro was wrong?
	No, I said Ben Shapiro got it wrong.
	Ben Shapiro got it wrong.
	Okay, and then I just need the monologue.
	Monologue.
	What was the monologue?
	That was...
	The McDonald's statement.
	Oh, oh, oh.
	Can we just wait on titling that?
	I just want to verify that.
	Verify what?
	That was the official statement.
	Oh, okay.
	What was that...
	Where's that article I wanted to mention to Conrad?
	Oh my gosh.
	It's not the Rudy thing.
	No, the thing about Canada.
	I'll mention the Rudy thing in a second.
	How much time we've got?
	Oh, two minutes.
	I think it was today's rundown.
	Come on, come on, come on.
	Was that today?
	Oh no, here it is.
	This is from Hot Air.
	I love this headline, Conrad.
	Democrats worried that Canadian immigration controls may keep them trapped in Trump's America.
	I guess it's not so easy to just jump the border into Canada.
	Well, in fact, it's not hard.
	I mean, an American citizen would be welcome to visit.
	But not to stay.
	They want to move here.
	Well, I don't think it would be a problem, really.
	Well, how many of them can we ship you?
	How many will you take, Conrad?
	I really don't think it would be a problem.
	But I think they would have trouble passing it off as being fugitives from...
	Oppression.
	They're not refugees.
	How's the second volume coming along?
	All right.
	We're about to close it.
	Wow.
	Exciting.
	How long did it take for them to edit the first one?
	The editing is pretty quick.
	I think we'll be ready for publication by February or March.
	You can't make it January the 20th, just in case?
	Perhaps, but that would be a bit of a rush.
	Anyway, I'm basically into the next volume now.
	Amazing.
	Well, as you get into more familial territory...
	Right.
	Perfect.
	Fast.
	Stand by.
	Martha, you was like meeting a friend.
	He looked us in the eye.
	The way he communicated with us, the way he greeted my children in the back seat, it was incredible.
	My kids were...
	I cannot just believe that I shook Donald Trump's hand.
	I'm not going to wash my hands for the next few days.
	So he just communicated with them.
	His looks and the way he...
	Shook her hands like he was very genuine.
	He's a genuine man.
	There was no stunt over there.
	No stunt over there.
	That was one of the customers who rolled by the takeout window at McDonald's on Sunday, sold President Trump, and then she's the one who said, I'm from Brazil.
	Please save this country from becoming like Brazil.
	Wow, what an incredible time we live in.
	Absolutely stunning.
	I don't want to tempt fate, but we don't have to have a reason to celebrate.
	Although, we did give it away today, I think, in the last hour.
	It is my birthday, so I may be having a cigar this evening.
	We have 14 days left to try and guarantee a much, much bigger celebration.
	How will you do that?
	Well, check out the...
	Finally, after years of searching, we have found a cigar worthy of our website.
	It is from the Liberty line.
	It is the Teddy Roosevelt, available at sebgorkastore.com.
	It is Dr.
	G's Teddy Roosevelt cigars.
	They really are that good, and I might have to have one or two this evening.
	sebgorkastore.com.
	Lord Black, before we get back to the politics, I have to raise this issue here.
	This is from hot air David Strom.
	Democrats worry that Canadian immigration controls may keep them trapped in Trump's America.
	I guess it's less easy to just cross the border into Canada if my former boss wins and to stay there as an asylum seeker.
	Or could we ship a lot of them to you?
	Oh, I think that would be acceptable, by all means.
	Did you say David Frum wrote that?
	No, no, no.
	Strom.
	David Strom.
	Okay.
	Yeah.
	And I don't...
	Amongst the many things that the Trump haters may be worrying about, I don't think that should be one of them.
	I mean, as long as they're respectable people, they wouldn't have trouble entering here.
	It's funny, they never leave.
	They didn't leave in 16.
	I don't think they're going to leave if the president wins in two weeks' time.
	It's just a lot of hot air, Lord Black.
	We have a lot of Americans in Canada, but you've got a lot of Canadians in America.
	That's just normal people, their careers leading them to a neighboring country.
	It's almost impossible to distinguish a It's not a huge cultural change.
	And it happens.
	There's nothing wrong with it.
	There's a free exchange of goods and people between Canada and the United States.
	This is the border where you've got millions of desperate, unskilled, illiterate people swarming the border either way.
	And so any I mean, they must be really desperate and partially out of their minds to start invoking the problems of the Canadian border's perspective entrapment of the scores of millions of Americans who will vote for the Democratic candidate in two weeks.
	Well, it is a binary option.
	Either President Trump wins or Kamala Harris does, and she promised something rather dark if that were the case.
	Cut seven, Kamala Harris at a town hall.
	You know, because some people find it humorous what he says and think it's just silly, but understand how brutally serious it is.
	Well, the courts will take care of that.
	We'll take care of November.
	Yes.
	We'll take care of November.
	So somebody shouts, lock him up.
	And she says, oh, don't worry about it.
	The courts will take care of that.
	I guess it's just a predefined, like Kafka's the trial.
	The courts will take care of that.
	Breaking news just about 30 minutes ago from our executive producer here.
	Rudy Giuliani has been ordered by a court to hand over his.
	Do we have the headline?
	Are we going to put it up?
	Rudy Giuliani must cede control of his luxury items and Manhattan apartment to the Georgia election workers he defamed.
	this on the heels of the reports multiple in the last 48 hours, that Steve Bannon has actually qualified for release from the Danbury Federal Prison as part of the First Steps program initiated by President Trump. that Steve Bannon has actually qualified for release from the But the warden of the prison has confirmed that he is to be kept in that prison.
	Lord Black, these are not very positive signs of how the Democrats think of law and order, are they?
	No, no, the persecution of both those men has been an absolute disgrace.
	And of course, as we've discussed before, and as all of your viewers have no doubt been worried about throughout the duration of these problems, no civilized democratic country spuriously indicts the leader no civilized democratic country spuriously indicts the leader of the opposition in the run-up to an election
	If it happened in Canada or Australia or Britain or France or Germany, The American media would be unanimous in saying that that country had dropped out of the ranks of civilized democracies.
	But the United States, under this administration, conducted itself in a way that, if one didn't know better, would justify saying that about the United States.
	And if this administration that has been the author of these outrages is re-elected, then keep in mind that Mr.
	Biden and Mr.
	Obama were fully aware of the politicization of the intelligence agencies and the FBI in attempting to represent defamatory gossip as legitimate intelligence to alter the outcome of the 2016 election.
	If this administration is reelected, it will be, apart from anything else, a setback to constitutional government in the most important country in the world.
	We only have one minute left, but if the other scenario occurs, President Trump wins, God willing.
	Could there be a reckoning for the Democrat Party?
	Could there finally be a look in the mirror and a, what do they love to say, a reimagining of the party away from its radicalism?
	Reimagine the police.
	If Travella wanted to reimagine the police, she'll want to reimagine them if they show up at a doorstep.
	My guess is, and that's all it is, I have no informed knowledge to base this on, is that the incoming returning president would, as he says, be concentrated on a revenge based on successful and good government.
	But I think what you might get is a serious commission, not the nonsense of Durham that Bill Barr set up, a serious commission to look into all of these things, going back to the hoax of Russian collusion, And the workings of these spurious criminal indictments and so on, not with a view to indicting anyone, but to getting the truth.
	All of the people, Hillary Clinton and the Bidens and all the rest of them, can have an absolute immunity for prosecution on condition that under oath they answer truthfully.
	And I think that would be a great national service, not to persecute people, but to see how close the country got to absolute lawless misgovernment.
	Well, we'll have one more meeting before...
	Well, actually, if it's two, it'll be on the day.
	On the day.
	So exciting.

	As of now, what's your prediction?
	As of now, look, if it were today, I would think they could probably tell you by midnight that President Trump won.
	Yeah.
	That's what I think.
	I mean, you know, everything else being equal, unless there's mystical drops at 4 a.m.
	But you look at the early voting figures, and it's the early voting figures, especially in rural areas that are Republican, and also in first-time voters, it's skewing heavily to the president.
	Yeah, yeah.
	I... I don't know.
	You know, I think the only polls you can take seriously are the ones that are not connected to left-wing universities or media.
	Or the internal ones that are leaked.
	And, you know, all the Democrat internal ones that are leaking are disastrous for Kamala.
	But Rasmussen, Trafalgar, Atlas Intel and Fox News all have Trump leading nationally by two or three percent.
	Yeah.
	And which means he's winning by 10 million votes outside the four biggest states.
	Correct.
	Correct.
	The swing states are close, but he's leading all of them right now, as far as I know.
	Yeah, it's exciting times.
	Let's just keep the numbers like that.
	Thank you, Conrad.
	Okay.
	Thanks.
	Yeah, bye.
	All right.
	It's off.
	So...
	All right.
	Govier believes more than half of UAW members at his Ford plant will vote Trump.
	He says Harris laughs too much, and he can't take her seriously.
	So what is it?
	You're the incumbent who wouldn't do anything different, or are you the underdog that wants change?
	And he says critics take Trump too literally.
	You know, he does it for effect.
	I don't believe that Trump really believes someone's eating cats and dogs.
	I don't believe that he's going to call the National Guard out and at gunpoint round up every migrant and force them across the border.
	I don't believe that for a second.
	That is a member of the UAW saying, look, my members have had it.
	It's about the economy, prospects, and that's why they're supporting President Trump.

	Promo code G-O-R-K-A. Now, as the—what am I now?
	I'm officially the first gentleman of the Republican Party in the Fairfax County of Virginia because my wife is the chair of the Fairfax County GOP. As such, I'm doing a lot of stuff I haven't done before.
	And one thing was a recent event at a superlative restaurant which was talking about— America.
	I think we've got some images of the event.
	The people who were there to hear a candidate, hear a celebration of the American dream.
	And it was organized by a new organization to me, but not to my wife, Katie.
	It's called the Libre Initiative.
	And we have their strategic director in studio who was the organizer for that event.
	Joshua Raimondo.
	Joshua, welcome to America First.
	Thank you so much.
	It's an honor to be here.
	And it was an honor to have you attend our event.
	Well, thank you kindly.
	I was there to be the chauffeur and bodyguard for my wife, but it was very enjoyable.
	The food was amazing.
	Give us a shout out.
	What was that restaurant?
	Yeah, Mi Tierra in Woodbridge.
	They own quite a few locations across Northern Virginia.
	They're awesome.
	They love freedom.
	They love limited government, and they love to support me.
	And they love Pork Belly.
	Yes.
	They gave me, they had this stuff there that you could take and then there was stuff you could pay for and they had this huge tray of crispy pork belly and I looked at it and I think I looked like, you know, Wile E. Coyote and they said, would you like some for free?
	And he gave me some and it was just so good.
	So what were you celebrating there?
	Because for me, this is not, you know, a milieu I'm accustomed to and at one point, The person who was, I think it was you or your colleague, asked the question about the American dream, about the importance of education and economic freedom.
	And the responses I saw was stunning, that you're in a community of immigrants, Hispanics, people who are born here.
	It looks like they loved America as much as anyone else.
	Yes, they do love America just as much as anyone else.
	Maybe even more in some instances because this has been their hope, this has been their opportunity to get out of some really dangerous situations, whether it's just economic mobility or whether it's getting out of some really dangerous situations with gangs or whatever.
	And the freedom and opportunity that this country offers is the hope for a lot of these people.
	So we were celebrating Hispanic Heritage Month.
	I think Ronald Reagan instituted that from September 15th to October 15th.
	And it so happens that a lot of the Independence Days of Hispanic countries fall between those dates, that's why.
	And we were also highlighting a lot of research and polling that our sister organization, Libre Institute, have done.
	Most Americans believe in the American dream.
	And especially, most Latinos believe that the American dream is still attainable.
	But we also think that, especially in the last four years, that the country is going in the wrong direction.
	So we brought in Derek Anderson, a business owner, former Green Beret, to talk about some solutions, limiting government, limiting regulations, and really getting the government off of our backs so that we can be free and prosperous.
	And that's what we were celebrating.
	That's what we were talking about.
	And as you saw, A lot of these immigrants who own businesses, who are working here with their families, just loved the event and learned a lot.
	And, yeah, it was a great success.
	Tell us about the Libre Initiative.
	It's thelibreinitiative.com.
	What is your mission, Joshua?
	Yeah, so we want to provide freedom-minded solutions for the Hispanic community in the Hispanic community.
	We do this by talking about freedom and limited government to legislators.
	Our issue suite is pretty broad.
	We deal with lowering taxes.
	We deal with freedom and education.
	And in Virginia, right now, we're talking also about free markets in housing and expanding access to housing for our community.
	How big a deal has that become in the last four years?
	It's become a huge deal, and it's because of all the regulations on the state and local level, and also federal level.
	Hold that.
	Let's continue the conversation.
	He's going to stay with us in studio.
	Joshua Raimundo on Twitter, thelibreinitiative.com.
	I'm Sebastian Gorka.
	We are broadcasting to you live from the relieffactor.com studios, just outside the insalubrious, fetid, rank, malodorous, noisome, ghastly swamp that is Washington, D.C. Relief Factor.
	As we speak, it's liberating over a million Americans from their daily pain.
	People who tried everything else and failed to find relief.
	People like myself, but also Gary from California.
	Listen to Gary's story.
	I've never felt better and will recommend Relief Factor to all my baby boomer friends.
	That should be your story.
	It can be.
	There's only one way to find out, but it's super easy.
	Order the three-week quick starter pack at relieffactor.com.
	Take it morning and evening like I do, and I promise you, Dr.
	G's guaranteed.
	By the end of the three weeks, you will know whether it works for you like it works for me and over a million of your fellow Americans, including Gary.
	Write the number down.
	1-800-4-RELIEF-RELIEFFACTOR.COM Just verify that that image is correct and just find a new source, not just a Twitter source, okay, to verify the McDonald's letter.
	And then let's do the title as McDonald's Corporate Stands by Trump Visit.
	Are you doing other events like that around?
	Yeah, hopefully.
	Across the country for sure.
	And then I'm hoping to throw a Christmas party where we'll also talk about legislative sessions specifically in Virginia.
	So you're active everywhere around the country?
	So we are in, I think, 15 states.
	So we're not everywhere, but we're in the states where you find the most Hispanics and also where we think that we can have an influence in policy.
	So, for example, we're not in New York right now.
	We don't have a ground presence in New York because we think it'd be really difficult.
	To have a real influence there with our resources.
	But hopefully one day we'll be in all 50 states because there's Hispanics everywhere.
	How long have you been doing this?
	I've been involved for six years now, so straight out of college.
	I was working at UPS before, and then I'll share some of my personal story on air, but the moment I realized that there was an organization that was trying to, on purpose, reach out to the Hispanic community with the message of freedom, opportunity, the American dream, I was like, okay, that's for me.
	Whether it's a career or whether it's lifelong volunteering, that's something I wanted to be involved in.
	So what's the genesis?
	Who created it?
	A guy named Daniel Garza.
	He worked in the Bush administration for a while, and then he ran for Congress in Texas, and then he started the organization.
	It is an association with Americans for Prosperity, so we get a lot of our funding from there.
	But we also get our funding from a lot of successful business owners.
	I know we've done collaborations with the Walton Foundation, and I also know that the founder of Goya has done stuff with us, too.
	those are the big names.
	So, kill the mics.
	Nine.
	Then I'll do Patriot, yeah.
	Thanks.
	Thanks.
	Madam Secretary, as voting begins, let's talk about the idea of intimidation.
	First of all, Elon Musk, by highlighting you by name, tell us a little bit about, do you have safety concerns?
	But also, we know the Trump campaign has tried to enlist poll watchers throughout the battleground states.
	They say to keep an eye on things to make sure it's fair, but other voting rights groups have suggested it's an effort to dissuade people from voting.
	Excuse me, what?
	Did he say poll workers?
	Republican poll workers are there to dissuade people from voting.
	Weird.
	Eric, I presume that that goes for the Democrats as well, right?
	Yeah, the Democrats are the ones who are there to, you know, encourage voting, according to them.
	And Republicans, you know, Democrats good, Republicans bad.
	I'm so glad that CNN helps us with such incredible...
	No, MSNBC helps us with such amazing analysis from Jonathan Lemire, a really amazing, stunning...
	Stunning.
	They're just really whores for the Democrat Party.
	They're prostitutes.
	Did I say that in public?
	Yes, I did.
	Do your part to help stop the lunatics.
	Don't fund the left.
	The big three cell phone companies are woke.
	They are left-wing.
	They donate millions of dollars every single year to the causes that are antithetical to your belief system, like Planned Parenthood, like foundations for trying to cancel and censor conservatives.
	Why would you fund people who hate you with every call you make and every text you send?
	That's insane.
	Switch today to the only Christian conservative cell phone company.
	It's the one I use.
	It's called Patriot Mobile.
	They have a nationwide coverage.
	Glenn and his team have the best customer support.
	And you keep your old number, keep your old phone, or get an upgrade.
	But if you switch now, guess what?
	First month on me for free.
	If you're a first responder, a veteran, you'll get additional discounts.
	Is there a deal better than that?
	No, there isn't.
	Call today.
	It's as easy as dialing 972-PATRIOT.
	Just go to PatriotMobile.com slash Gawker.
	That's 972-728-7468-PATRIOT.
	PatriotMobile.com slash G-O-R-K. A first month on me.
	We are back with Joshua Raimondo, Strategic Director for the Libre Initiative.
	That's reaching out to and encouraging, really, the values upon which our nation was founded in the Hispanic and the Latino community.
	Can I run something past you?
	Be my sanity check, please.
	Because I'm always puzzled by people telling me, Hispanic Americans vote left.
	And I ask people who have done outreach, and I say, so why?
	Why, if you're culture, if you're Catholic, if you believe in the family, the value of work, why would you vote left?
	And I was told once, and this just kind of blew my mind, I said, well, especially for newly arrived immigrants, they look at the names of the parties, and they think Democrat means democracy, and that's why they vote for the Democrats.
	It can't be that simple, can it?
	It's not that simple, but I do think that that is a component.
	Really?
	Red is also the color of communism in most of these countries.
	Yeah, that really hurts me that they did this switch 12 years ago because originally, of course, the Republican Party was blue and the Democrats were red like they are in every nation of the world.
	The left is red.
	So that switch as well also has a psychological effect.
	I do believe so, but the reality is that we need just more education in our communities because once you approach people and you say, hey, you've got to look at the candidate who is going to align most with your values.
	And when you really dig into the issues, you see people turning.
	You see people turning and voting in a way that reflects more their values.
	We saw this with Glenn Youngkin in Virginia.
	I mean, I'm the strategic director for Virginia.
	Libra Initiative did endorse Glenn Youngkin.
	We're proud to...
	One of the things he ran on was getting away from the meals tax, you know?
	Explain now for those who aren't from Virginia, why the meals tax is a big thing.
	Yeah, I mean, meals taxes on county levels are something that a lot of counties are doing.
	But also, I mean, the grocery tax is just an extra tax on groceries that is unnecessary.
	Which is not what we need after the last four years.
	No, no, not at all.
	And so we really...
	Again, we agree with limited government.
	Our slogan is limited government, unlimited opportunity.
	And that's why we're out in the Hispanic community.
	But the other thing is, it's not necessarily true that a majority of Latinos vote left.
	That's just not the case.
	We are a diverse community.
	Somebody said this, I think at your event, that we shouldn't even use these labels.
	Because a Venezuelan is not the same as a Mexican, a Mexican is not the same as...
	I mean, these are different cultural and regional identities.
	Yes, and what's happening right now is we're seeing a giant shift.
	In the last four years, the Biden-Harris administration has been delivering us things like the Infrastructure Bill, the Inflation Reduction Act, things that have only grown the size of government, that have made prices go higher.
	What do Latinos really care about?
	We care about kitchen table issues.
	We care about what's the price of groceries?
	What's the price of gas?
	How can I put food on the table?
	How can I get a better job?
	How can I buy a house?
	And no one is doing better than they were in 2018.
	I was just talking to someone at the door and we were talking about his business.
	He owns a painting business.
	And he said that he's being killed with the fees to maintain his licenses and insurance.
	I heard somewhere, you'll have to fact check me, fact checkers go fact check me, that in Virginia it costs $80,000 on average to start a new small business.
	And that's why I had somebody working in my home.
	I came back from walking the dog and he was finishing something for my wife in the kitchen, a hood for the extractor.
	And I just started talking to him because he saw the political sign on my lawn.
	He said he's from Costa Rica, has his own business, and he says if things don't go the way he hopes they will, he's going to move back there because he can't afford to run a business here.
	Yeah.
	That's insanity.
	No, it's crazy.
	It's crazy.
	And you see that even in some Latin American countries, I'll throw in Argentina, El Salvador, some of the presidents are actually implementing more freedom-minded policies in some areas.
	And we see a lot of development in these countries and a lot of immigrants in this country are saying, hey, maybe it's time to go back.
	And that's not something that this nation can afford.
	We are here as Libre to encourage our community's values.
	We believe in freedom.
	We believe in life.
	We believe in liberty, faith, family.
	But these are things that maintain a free and open society.
	And Hispanics are 20% of the American population.
	And we are the fastest growing sector.
	And aren't they hurt the most by open borders?
	Because if somebody comes in to take your job for cash under the table and you've just started at the bottom of the ladder as a legal immigrant...
	Your livelihood is in jeopardy, isn't it?
	Well, border security affects absolutely everyone.
	And it's our people that are being most hurt by the cartels who traffic not in drugs and guns only, but also in humans.
	And the open border And just the lack of responsibility there from this administration is proof of the empty promises that the left has given us.
	Again, open border, infrastructure, inflation reduction, increasing the size of government, killing us on inflation, and giving us a border where we don't feel safe.
	You know, what I think the top issue, at least in the Virginia Hispanic community, is public safety.
	Yes, absolutely.
	And these mothers are concerned about safety in their schools.
	That's why, according to our polling, we care so much about education freedom.
	We want more opportunities to have different options to send our kids to so that they're not being threatened.
	I didn't come up with it, but it's a great phrase, big government.
	The bigger the government gets, the smaller the citizen is.

	We've only got a couple of minutes left with the Strategic Director for the Libre Initiative, Joshua Raimundo.
	Very quickly, finish your thought on public safety in Virginia.
	Yes, public safety is really big for these moms that really want the best for their kids.
	And the increase in crime and all of this just reminds us in our community of our home countries.
	And we came here to escape from this.
	And so we want to find solutions that increase freedom, increase safety.
	And that starts with fixing the border.
	And right now, the left just hasn't delivered, right?
	So yeah, economic freedom, safety at the border.
	And that's what we really care about.
	How did you get into this?
	I met your father at that event, a very charismatic pastor.
	So tell us a little bit.
	You've got like two minutes.
	How did you get involved in this?
	Yes.
	I mean, I knew one of the lawyers that worked with the organization, and he kind of tapped me and said, hey, I think you can do this.
	But my motivation really comes from my family's story.
	I mean, my grandfather was a pastor from Cuba that went to the Dominican Republic in the 50s.
	And then when the Castro regime took over, things were so dangerous that he actually, after 1959, was never able to return to his home country because the risk was just too high, especially him being a pastor, even higher risk of imprisonment or worse.
	And so that kind of started our family's war against communism and government that wants to control.
	And so when my dad immigrated to this country, in his own story, you should have him on the show.
	He can tell his side.
	He just said, I'm going to instill these American values into my children.
	You know what?
	My dad was successful when I heard that Libre was a thing.
	I said, I have to get involved.
	So that's why I do what I do today, because my family has benefited from the freedom and opportunity this country maintains.
	And I want to keep this country free for my kids.
	We've got 60 seconds left.
	What do you say to Latino, Hispanic voters?
	What is the choice on November 5th?
	What's the real principle?
	Yeah.
	Vote your values.
	What are your values?
	Faith?
	Freedom?
	Family?
	A free economy?
	Better opportunity?
	Go study and go see who's going to deliver on those things.
	And go register to vote.
	If you haven't registered, go register.
	Go vote and vote on those values.
	That's what I would say.
	It's so succinct.
	It's absolutely perfect.
	Go do your homework and ask yourself one question.
	Who can deliver on the values you have?
	Because both individuals have a certain track record who are running for the presidency.
	Every candidate in every district has a record or should do.
	What are you playing, Alex?
	You saboteur.
	I should have kept it quiet.
	Thank you.
	That's very kind.
	54 years young.
	Do your research.
	Vote your values.

	for choosing.
	It's a famous phrase in conservative politics.
	And indeed, this is the time for choosing.
	Two weeks to go.
	Early voting is already happening across the nation.
	And what is the choice?
	Well, it's quite stark.
	It's quite simple.
	Do you wish to continue what we have experienced for the last four years?
	Or return to the four years of my former boss, President Trump's term in office as the chief executive?
	What did Ronald Reagan say?
	Very simple question.
	Are you better off than you were four years ago?
	Recently Kamala Harris was asked what her plans are, should she win?
	And it was quite a strange reply.
	Play cut.
	My plan is about saying that when you invest in small businesses, you invest in the middle class, and you strengthen America's economy.
	Small businesses are part of the backbone of America's economy.
	But pardon me, Madam Vice President, the question was, How are you going to pay for it?
	Well, one of the things is I'm going to make sure that the richest among us who can afford it pay their fair share in taxes.
	It is not right that teachers and nurses and firefighters are paying a higher tax rate than billionaires and the biggest corporations.
	And I plan on making that fair.
	But we're dealing with the real world here.
	But the real world includes...
	How are you going to get this through Congress?
	You know, when you talk quietly with a lot of folks in Congress, they know exactly what I'm talking about because their constituents know exactly what I'm talking about.
	Their constituents are those firefighters and teachers and nurses.
	A random act of journalism from CBS. Her answer?
	More taxes.
	People are telling me their constituents what?
	Agree to more taxes?
	What is business going to say about it?
	More than 60% of those employed in America are in small and medium-sized businesses.
	Let's ask a man who actually lives in the real world and may have something to say about it.
	He's the author.
	Over seminal work, the capitalist comeback, the Trump boom, and the left's plot to stop it.
	Former CEO of the CKE chain of restaurants and senior fellow at the America First Policy Institute, Andy Puzda.
	Welcome back to America First.
	Thanks, Seb.
	Good to be there.
	So, let's kind of divest ourselves of politics for a second and just do like a snapshot diagnosis of what President Trump's economic policies resulted in during his tenure prior to the COVID shutdown, and then compare and contrast to the last four years of the Harris-Biden administration.
	As a man who understands business intimately, can you compare those two American economies?
	Sure.
	When the pandemic hit after President Trump had been in office for about three years, we had the lowest unemployment rate for every race and both sexes.
	We had family income that hit historic highs.
	The poverty level, the poverty rate hit an historic low.
	Income inequality declined in 2019, and it was all done with inflation during Trump's term in office that was under 2 percent.
	In other words, under the Fed's mandate, which they liked 2 percent, it came in at about 1.9 percent under President Trump.
	People could afford houses.
	Real income was increasing.
	Really, we had prosperity and abundance, which is what you get when you cut taxes, reduce burdensome regulations, And really tap into America's most valuable resource.
	It's energy resources.
	We have the greatest natural gas and oil resources in the world.
	And when we employ them, we see the price of everything come down because the price of everything has to be delivered.
	So the price of everything is impacted by energy prices.
	When Biden took office, we were coming out of the pandemic, people had gotten a lot of money during the pandemic, so everybody had cash.
	But we had problems with the supply chain because people hadn't been working.
	The shipping had been delayed because people weren't able to man the ships and the ports were closed.
	So we had a problem with getting enough goods to meet the demand that we knew would exist when people came out of the pandemic because they hadn't been able to shop, they hadn't been able to go to restaurants, and haven't been able to do the things they wanted to do.
	And they had plenty of money to go out and do them.
	So what you wouldn't do in a situation like that if you wanted to avoid inflation was you wouldn't give people even more money before we even had the goods to meet the demand that they currently had.
	Because when the demand for goods exceeds the amount of goods available, the price of everything goes up.
	So what did the Biden-Harris administration do?
	Well, they enacted two ridiculously named bills.
	One was the American Rescue Plan, and the other was the It's called the Inflation Reduction Act.
	It really was a green energy bill, as Biden later admitted.
	Passage of both of those bills depended on Kamala Harris breaking a tie in the Senate.
	So she owns both of those bills.
	They flooded the economy with money.
	We saw the inflation rate go way up.
	The inflation rate went up much, much faster than wages were increasing.
	So we've seen people's wages decline, while the price of everything at the grocery store and the gas station We ended up with an economy where working and middle-class Americans couldn't keep up.
	They now can't afford homes because to fight that inflationary surge that Harris' tie-breaking votes caused, to fight that surge, the Fed had to raise interest rates, which made homes more expensive.
	So people can't afford homes.
	They can't afford food.
	They can't afford gas.
	Their wages aren't keeping up with inflation.
	And we've got a situation where we really need an economic rescue.
	We need to go back to the policies we had in 2019.
	And there's only one way to get that.
	We have to elect the man that drove those policies home, and that's President Trump.
	Now, you ran this massive, massive chain of restaurants, the CKE, which included Carl's Jr.
	and Hardee's.
	It isn't just about the huge companies like yours.
	I just left a cafe near my home Which isn't a chain, it's just a one-off.
	And the owner said, I can't do this any longer.
	Just the price, just the price of materials for his cafe.
	I'm sure you talk to people who are in the industry with just one restaurant or two restaurants.
	Let's get out of the stratified question of inflation and energy.
	How bad is it for small and medium-sized business owners right now?
	Well, it's bad.
	I'll tell you, I've talked to franchisees that have a significant number of restaurants, particularly in states like California, where the minimum wage has also soared.
	So they're not only dealing with the cost of commodities, they're not only dealing with food costs, but they're also suffering through these massive minimum wage increases.
	And they just can't make a profit.
	They can't break even.
	So you've got restaurants that are closing.
	In very large numbers.
	You've seen that particularly in California.
	A lot of change have just pulled out of California because they can't operate there anymore.
	And you don't get the publicity for the small one or two unit operators.
	There's not a lot of press about them.
	But they're closing down.
	You'll notice it in your neighborhood.
	You'll notice it in your town.
	People just aren't able to break even.
	Now, some people, there's kind of a delayed reaction.
	Because if you've got a restaurant, you have a lease.
	And leases are generally for periods of 10, 15, or 20 years.
	Let's say you've got a 10-year lease, you're five years into that lease, If you lose less money staying open than you would lose if you closed because you had to make the lease payment, you'd stay open as long as you could.
	As soon as that lease expires, you close.
	So we've got a delayed reaction with some of these restaurants.
	We've got a lot of closures, but we're going to have even more closures over the next few years because people aren't going to be able to meet their expenses, to keep the doors open.
	If we don't elect a candidate who's got policies that will allow the economy to recover.
	So a lot hinges on what happens in a couple of weeks in November.
	And what is happening now already is there's early voting.
	But a lot hinges on what happens in early November and who wins the election.
	He's the author of the pamphlet, Other People's Money, the co-author, and more recently of a book, Capitalist Comeback, The Trump Boom and the Left's Plot to Stop It.
	Follow our friend, the America First Policy Institute, andy.pazda.com, and on Twitter, at Andy Pazda.
	He's absolutely right.
	Sadly, even in places like where I live, in the Commonwealth of Virginia, we have been voting for more than three weeks now.
	It's not just about November the 5th.
	I know conservatives hate it.
	I, too, want to go on Election Day with...
	with my ballot and put it in the ballot box.

	Andy, we'll talk about the fake news and the hilarious Bloomberg interview last week with President Trump in Chicago, but I have to address this.
	Misrepresentation of the last decade in American economics.
	Recently, President Obama had an explanation for why the economy was so amazing under the Trump years, as your book illustrates.
	And it's rather a selfish explanation.
	Let's play that cut.
	And the reason some people think, I don't know, I remember that economy when he first came in being pretty good.
	Yeah, it was pretty good, because it was my economy.
	I remember Obama before the election making fun of President Trump saying, what do you mean you're going to fix the economy?
	Those jobs are gone.
	Do you have a magic wand to bring them back?
	Well, Andy, he did bring them back.
	Well, not only that, but he reversed.
	He literally reversed every one of Obama's economic policies.
	We had really kind of a stagnant economy under President Obama.
	It was the worst post-recession recovery since the end of World War II. We never saw wage growth exceed 3 percent.
	President Trump comes in.
	He slashes regulations.
	Obama had the highest page number in the Federal Register since 1995.
	President Trump knocks that down to very low levels within one year.
	He just slashes regulations.
	He cut taxes.
	Obama increased all kinds of taxes, raised a bunch of taxes.
	Trump cuts taxes.
	And then Trump encourages domestic energy production.
	So we get very high levels of oil production in the United States, way in excess of what happened in the Obama administration.
	And the economy booms.
	It hits all kinds of record highs that never were even approached under President Obama.
	So President Obama is saying what happened is President Trump came over.
	He changed all of my policies, the economy did great, and therefore I get the credit for it, which is absurd.
	Then Biden comes in, changes the policies, the economy collapses, everything goes to heck, and he says, well, it's Trump's fault, even though he changed all of Trump's policies.
	So these are ridiculous positions.
	Nobody with any credibility can believe anything that Obama says where he tries to take credit for the economic growth that occurred under President Trump.
	And what about the fact that the woman who is the selected, not elected, but selected candidate for the Democrats, she has been asked a few times, even by friendlies, what your plan is.
	To fix the economy that she says is bad, which is weird because she's been in the White House for four years.
	And it's the only thing she's ever said.
	She said it during the 60 Minutes interview.
	She said it during the debate.
	She said, so what is your plan?
	And she says, I grew up in a middle class family.
	Which is like, okay, so what?
	And you didn't, by the way, because when both of your parents are PhDs and one teaches in McGill in Canada and one at Stanford, you're hardly working or middle class.
	And then the other thing she said repeatedly, Andy, and you are the expert.
	You live in the real world.
	You've made tens of millions or hundreds of millions for the companies you've run.
	She says, well, I'm giving you an aspirational economy.
	What do you know what that what does that mean, Andy?
	It doesn't mean anything.
	It's nonsense.
	She talks about this opportunity economy.
	But look, you don't have an opportunity economy.
	You don't have opportunity at all if you don't have economic growth.
	Economic growth creates opportunities.
	So if you want to have an opportunity economy, if you want to have a growing economy, you have to have a plan to generate economic growth.
	Trump has a plan.
	His plan is cut taxes, reduce regulations, focus on domestic energy, do the kinds of things that allow businesses to grow and create new jobs and economic growth.
	Harris doesn't have an economic plan that's aimed at economic growth.
	Her economic plan is really one where she's like the Dutch boy in the legend, where she's sticking her fingers in the dike to try and stop water leaking out, hoping that the economic dike doesn't collapse before the election occurs.
	Now, her plans, for example, she says Well, you feel bad you can't buy a house because interest rates are three times what they were when I took office.
	Well, I'm going to give you $25,000.
	You go to the grocery store, you go to the gas station, you feel like, well, the prices are too high.
	Well, even though there's been no price hiking by the businesses to take advantage of the economic chaos that I've created, I'm going to go in.
	And I'm going to fight these businesses taking advantage of other people.
	I'm going to fight these unjustified price hikes.
	I'm going to make them illegal.
	But there's been no unjustified price hikes.
	But at least it makes you feel like she's doing something to try and fight it.
	She has no policies to generate economic growth.
	She only has policies that address the problems that try and address the problems that her economic policies created and will continue to create the most Maybe the most dramatic one is what she's done recently, what she's trying to attract Black men to vote for her because they're increasingly going to President Trump, who offers them the opportunity and jobs and increasing wages where they can improve their own lives.
	So your reaction to this blatant act of bribery where she says, if you're a black man, it's like, this is illegal, the government will give you $20,000 for your business.
	I mean, your reaction as a real businessman to that bribery?
	Well, first of all, it's ridiculous.
	And it's really not—if you're going to open a business, everybody would like to have an extra 20 grand, but that's not going to help you really open a thriving business, number one.
	Number two, they're forgiven loans.
	So this is just, I'm going to give you cash.
	And number three, she tries to encourage people to open marijuana businesses.
	She wants to legalize marijuana so that she says Black men can then participate in that new sector.
	Well, if you said four or five years ago, If Republicans proposed that today they'd be accused of being racist Just every bad name you could possibly think of.
	That's what Republicans would be accused of.
	But everybody acts like it's perfectly normal that she's doing, and it's not normal.
	This is a ridiculous proposal.
	I think it's insulting to black men.
	And Obama's going out there and telling people they have to man up and vote for a woman instead of voting for somebody whose policies they support is equally ridiculous.
	So I think we've got a situation where they're making ridiculous proposals because they're in a panic, Because they're falling further and further behind.
	And I think you're going to see more of that in the next two weeks.
	They'll do anything they can to try and bail out this election.
	Hopefully the American people are smarter than this.
	It reminds me when I was living in post-communist Hungary, and the former communists were coming back, relabeled as socialists, and two months before the election, they promised all the pensioners a 13th month of pensions.
	Literally just...
	Buying the votes.
	We'll make your pension a 13-month pension if you vote for us.
	Shades of communism for me.

	Let's draw out Let's open the aperture, Andy.
	Let's go to 50,000 feet and talk about some historic tropes or just clichés that are conventional wisdoms which are incorrect.
	There's this idea of trickle-down economics that the dastardly Republicans have always promoted, which isn't true.
	Conservatives don't believe in the money trickling down.
	What we believe in or what we...
	How we differentiate our take from the left is that our contention is that the pie can always grow.
	The size of the economy isn't fixed, and it's not a question of apportioning wealth.
	Taking it from the rich people, the capitalists, and then divvying it out to the less fortunate, isn't the biggest problem with the economics of the left that they don't believe that growth is constantly possible in a country like America?
	You can go back to President Kennedy, actually, who was a Democrat and really understood this.
	His comment was that a rising tide lifts all boats.
	He was trying to get tax cuts passed.
	And the idea was that the rich didn't get richer because the poor got poorer, and the poor didn't get richer because the rich got poorer, that everybody could get richer with a growing economy.
	And if you had a growing economic tide, then it would make everybody wealthy.
	This talk about a trickle-down economy, Hillary Clinton talked about this, Biden talks about this, Harris talks about it.
	It's ridiculous.
	There is no such thing as a trickle-down economy.
	Nobody's advancing that notion.
	I will tell you, though, Bidenomics ended up being a trickle-up economy.
	He talked about building from the middle out and the top down and the sides.
	I can't remember what he was saying.
	But in any event, what happened is, during the last few years, if you own stocks— If you had stocks, you did really well.
	If you own real estate, your values have gone up a lot.
	If you have bonds or interest-bearing instruments, if your money's locked into something where you gain interest, interest rates are way up, you're doing fine.
	The people that are doing poorly in the Biden economy, in this Bidenomics, Kamalanomics world, Are the people in the working and middle class who don't own?
	Maybe they don't own a home.
	They'd like to own a home.
	Maybe they don't own stocks.
	They'd like to.
	They'd like to get a 401k.
	Maybe they don't have bonds.
	They'd love to have bonds.
	They'd love to have CDs that pay interest, but they can't afford it because they can't even meet their weekly nut, their weekly payments.
	They don't have enough money.
	Their wages are declining in value and prices are increasing.
	So what's happened in the Biden economy is that the top has done very, very well, and the bottom hasn't done well at all, which is why I think they're resentful.
	And the polls indicate that they think the country's in terrible shape and that Trump would do a better job on the economy, which makes sense.
	He did a better job for them.
	He'd do a better job again.
	And if you live in those sectors that aren't about You know, making things with your hands.
	You're not a plumber.
	You're not involved in manufacturing.
	You're not in a service industry.
	If you're, you know, managing information in Palo Alto bits and bytes, you're completely insulated from all of this, aren't you?
	Yes.
	Yeah, exactly right.
	A lot of the service-based professions are insulated from this, particularly the tech professions.
	If you're working at a company now that's developing technology, Artificial intelligence products or other service-related type or technological-related type sectors, you don't really suffer from this much.
	And that's why I think in the last election—I just read something in the last election—70 percent of the wealth of this country supported Joe Biden.
	So we've really seen a transformation of the parties in the United States, where it used to be the Republicans were the parties of the wealthy.
	They were the parties of business.
	Business has now moved to the left, thanks to the influence, the really terrible influence of companies like BlackRock, State Street, and Vanguard, forcing companies in which they invest other people's money to To advance these woke policies, these radical environmental policies, diversity, equity, inclusion.
	So we've really seen a movement where Republicans have now become the party of the working and middle classes.
	And I think that's going to come across in this November, assuming we get good and honest results.
	I think you'll see a real movement in working class votes.
	That's what the President said in his long interview with Patrick David last Thursday.
	We are confident.
	We take nothing for granted.
	But if elections are free and fair, then it is looking very good.
	But it's up to us.
	Everybody needs to go to TrumpForce47.com, TrumpForce47.com.
	All right, bounce in with Bloomberg.
	What does the Wall Street Journal know?
	I'm meeting with them tomorrow.
	What does the Wall Street Journal know?
	They've been wrong about everything.
	So have you, by the way.
	You've been wrong about it.
	You're trying to turn this...
	You've been wrong about it.
	No, you're trying to turn this into debate.
	There are business people...
	It's not a debate.
	But you're wrong.
	You've been wrong all your life on this stuff.
	I absolutely love that.
	In Chicago, President Trump telling the truth about Jonathan Micklethwaite, the anti-Trump editor of Bloomberg, who told his staff, don't write anything nasty about Mr.
	Bloomberg because he wants to be president after he had left The Economist.
	An absolute hack.
	If we are going to get to save America, we have to talk truthfully about the economy.
	We shall do so with our guest.
	Continue the discussion momentarily.
	But first, do your part.
	Yes, if your cell phone is connected to one of the big cell phone providers, the big three, every time you make a call, every time you send a text, you're funding them.
	There's only one conservative Christian cell phone company in the nation.
	It's the one I use, Patriot Mobile.
	They have the same coverage, a performance guarantee.
	Glenn and his team are superb, but they don't give millions of dollars of their profits to things like Planned Parenthood or to gun control foundations.

	Dial 972-728-7468, patriotmobile.com slash G-O-R-K-A. All right, let's talk about how things have been misrepresented, Andy.
	Let's talk about the fake news.
	Let's talk about what they say about tariffs and about the Fed.
	When Obama says, oh, that was my economy, why does nobody in the mainstream media talk about quantitative easing and the fact that Obama was helped out by the Fed for seven and a half years straight?
	Isn't that a real story?
	It's a great and important story.
	In fact, Mitt Romney would have been president in 2013 if not for the actions that the Fed took in the summer of 2012 to help Obama out.
	And I'll tell you, Obama was in office for eight years.
	The Fed, under Janet Yellen, The Fed tried to raise interest rates one time.
	That was January of 2016, the year of the election.
	The stock market reacted very adversely.
	The stock market dropped like 800 points.
	She then pulled back, didn't do anything else with interest rates.
	The month after President Trump's elected, the Fed raises interest rates eight quarters in a row.
	After not raising it at all for eight years, the one time for the eight years of the Obama administration, They raised it eight times in a row for President Trump, until he comes out and complains about it.
	He comes out and says, why do you keep raising interest rates?
	Inflation is low.
	The economy's not in trouble.
	We're doing fine.
	It's not overheated.
	There's no inflation.
	Why do you keep raising interest rates?
	And then Jerome Powell started to slow it down and stop.
	But there was quantitative easing.
	There were interest rate factors during the Obama administration that were very helpful.
	And despite those factors, he still couldn't get wage growth to exceed 3 percent.
	That waited until President Trump was in office and he implemented his economic policies.
	And then you have to ask the question about tariffs.
	This interviewer in Chicago said tariffs are bad.
	Why is it bad to protect American companies and American jobs?
	President Trump said he's going to slap a 100-200% import tax on Chinese goods or goods made abroad, and suddenly American companies have stopped The construction on their factories in Mexico.
	Isn't it better to make those things here in America, Andy?
	Well, of course it is.
	Let me step back a minute, Deb.
	When President Trump was in office, he passed a number of strong tariffs against China.
	Other countries as well, aluminum and steel, it wasn't just China.
	So we had a number of tariffs.
	You know how many of those President Biden has rescinded since he took office?
	None!
	None.
	He's kept all of Trump's tariffs in place.
	And as of September, literally the month that they had the big Kamala Harris-Trump debate, after that debate, they put in a hundred percent tariff on electronic vehicles coming out of China.
	They put on 50 percent tariffs on a number of products.
	They upped the tariffs on steel.
	They upped the tariffs on aluminum.
	They're now, over the next two years, they're implementing more tariffs on products, including semiconductors.
	This is all politics.
	When it comes right down to it, the Democrats being in office did nothing different on tariffs than President Trump had done.
	They kept his in place, and they increased the ones that he had in place and are adding others.
	This argument that the left is trying to make about tariffs are bad and Trump's going to destroy the economy is ridiculous.
	Trump was in office.
	He raised tariffs.
	Inflation didn't go anywhere.
	Inflation, as I said, stayed under the Fed's target target amount of 2 percent.
	That didn't happen until Biden came in office, and it had nothing to do with the Trump tariffs.
	They were in place when inflation was low.
	So these arguments are disproven by history and simply nonsensical.
	And by the way, the trade representative for the Biden administration was asked, why did you raise these tariffs?
	What's going on?
	How can you do this after there's been all these complaints about tariffs?
	And she came back and said, well, stiff tariffs are a reasonable way to protect American businesses.
	Well, you know, who knew?
	I mean, of course they're a reasonable way to protect American businesses.
	I mean, this is This is no great revelation.
	President Trump knew it.
	He put them in place, and they worked.
	And he'll come back in, put them in place, and they'll work again.
	It is good, though.
	People that are scared about massive tariffs, and there may be massive tariffs.
	If we need them, we'll put them in place.
	But whenever President Trump is talking, he's negotiating.
	And he's negotiating for you.
	He's negotiating for the American people.
	He's always trying to get a better deal.
	And I can't imagine him being in any better position or any president being in any better position to negotiate tariff deals with other countries than President Trump is today, given what he said during this campaign.
	But they may have kept the tariffs in place, but would you agree the most damaging thing that was done was basically making us beholden to oil elsewhere and not being energy independent?
	Well, at the beginning of the administration, they put in place these very, very expensive regulatory and licensing requirements, which discouraged oil production.
	Of course, then the price of oil shot up because of the terrible withdrawal from Afghanistan.
	And because oil prices were high, Russia felt we wouldn't—we would really not resist their efforts to invade Ukraine.
	And they had a bunch of money from the fact that these oil prices had increased because Biden had pulled back, ended up actually depleting our natural petroleum—our national petroleum reserves to try and build up the supply of oil and take the price down prior to the 2020 election.
	And it was effective.
	He used a lot of our oil to win his election.
	But the problem is when oil is at $70 a barrel, oil companies are going to be able to produce oil and sell it and make money.
	What you want to do is what President Trump did.
	You want to reduce the cost of producing oil.
	By reducing the licensing and regulatory fees.
	So that even at $40 or $50 a barrel, the oil company can still make money.
	You don't see a reduction at the gas pump if oil's at $70, $80, $90, $100 a barrel.
	You see a reduction at the gas pump if it's at $40 or $50 a barrel.
	But companies aren't going to produce it at $40, $50 a barrel if they can't make a profit.
	So you need rational energy policies, which you're never going to get out of the Biden administration, or you're never going to get them out of the Kamala Harris administration either.
	She said she hasn't changed her values, and her values since the day she took office have been to discourage fossil fuel production.
	Well, not only that, she was asked the question twice and flubbed it twice.
	What would you do differently from the last four years of Biden?
	And she said, She actually didn't have an answer.
	She goes, uh, nothing.
	Which means the war on our energy continues.

	You're listening to America First one-on-one.
	How do we get to this point where the choice is so stark in two weeks' time?
	A man who loves America, who's taking a bullet for us, and those who hate America are dismantling it and allowing millions and millions of illegals into the country.
	It's very simple.
	It's an 80-year project.
	It is next-gen Marxism.

	You've been very ebullient and very positive about the election, Andy.
	I'm going to say once more, we fight, fight, fight like the third monkey trying to get on Noah's Ark and take nothing for granted.
	It's up to us, God willing.
	That's why I keep saying go to TrumpForce47.com and volunteer.
	Let's say, God willing, the good guys win and we have a patriot.
	We have President Trump back in the White House.
	We'd love to see you there.
	That would be superb.
	What should the president do?
	Is there anything he needs to do differently from the first four years or which you'd like to see more of?
	So I know energy independence, build the wall, tariffs.
	Is there something, given the destruction of the Harris-Biden years, that needs to be added to that secret sauce?
	Well, of course, the first thing you need to do is reduce this terrible regulatory state that Biden and Harris have built up.
	That needs to be dismantled as soon as possible if we're going to see any kind of economic growth.
	The other thing, we're really going to—not that President Trump didn't focus on national security in his first term.
	He did, and we ended up with the Abraham Accords, and Putin didn't invade anything, and we made friends with Kim Jong-un, and Xi Jinping in China was afraid of— Thank you.
	Thank you.
	as I am today, and I lived through the Cold War with the Soviet Union.
	I never really was concerned that we were going to stand up to them or that we ultimately prevail.
	Today, I don't know, we're being attacked from every side.
	We need a leader who can stand up for America, who can stand up for freedom and prosperity and individual liberty, and Trump's that guy.
	He's got the strength to do it.
	And I think leaders around the world would know that he's serious.
	We need to rebuild our military.
	We need to get this woke baloney out of the military as soon as possible.
	Look, we need to spend more on the military than we spend on interest on our debt.
	So we need to get the debt down, we need interest rates to come down, and we need to build our military so that we've got a world where we can defend liberty and freedom, because we're at a very dangerous point right now.
	I don't want to overstate it, but this is a very scary time.
	In case you just missed that, I'm going to repeat it because it isn't understood well enough.
	The servicing of the national debt, the interest on the debt under the current Harris-Biden administration exceeds the $800 billion we spend on defense.
	More on our debt than on everything we spend to keep America and Americans safe.
