	We'll be right back.
	We'll be right back.
	We'll be right back.
	Is that a bad guess?
	I think it's a pretty good guess.
	Well, what do you think the world will be like in a second term?
	With the President Trump second term?
	I know what it would be like if we let her in.
	Oh really?
	That ain't good.
	Miserable track record.
	Appalling track record.
	No policies to speak of.
	And the border, right?
	And she's got the IQ of a fence post.
	Jeff, for those who aren't watching us, who was that who called Kamala Harris an individual with the IQ of a fence post?
	That was Mel Gibson.
	Isn't it?
	Did you watch that?
	I didn't see like a huge entourage, like P. Diddy with all his bodyguards.
	This is Mel Gibson.
	And it's funny how he was rushing to the airport and they were asking him questions before this, but when they got to the Kamala part, he stopped and was willing to say it.
	He wanted to say that.
	He did.
	It's Friday.
	We're going to start with fun clips like that from Mel Gibson.
	Just doorstopped by TMZ, as usual.
	I hate those guys.
	At an airport, wearing his ball cap, trying to stay anonymous.
	Greetings, dear friends.
	It's Second Amendment Friday.
	It's Ask Dr.
	G Anything.
	The number is 833-333-Gawker, 833-334-6752.
	President Trump has just finished giving a speech.
	Jeff, where was it?
	Where was it?
	He was in Austin, Texas.
	Why Austin?
	Why Austin?
	Because he was doing Rogan today.
	Ah, yes.
	Joe Rogan.
	How long do you think he sat down?
	Did he do like a 24-minute Kamala with Brett Baird?
	What do you think?
	No, I bet you it was probably at least two hours.
	I think it was.
	Because, Eric, what was Elon?
	Elon was like two hours, ten minutes with President Trump?
	Yeah, oh, the space?
	Yeah, I think it was at least 90 minutes, probably closer to two hours.
	And isn't Kamala supposed to go on Joe Rogan?
	So, Eric, how long is Kamala?
	Is she going to light up and then do the whole three hours?
	Oh, jeez.
	I could see her pretending to do that because she thinks it'll increase her black support or something.
	I don't know.
	The whole hot sauce thing Hillary did.
	I don't know.
	But, no, I don't think she'll actually do it.
	Oh, is she going to cave?
	Who cares?
	She's in trouble.
	She's calling President Trump Hitler every day now.
	Is that all they've got?
	Clearly.
	It's a mark of a man to admit that they did wrong and to apologize, not just to the person they did wrong to, but to apologize to at least 1.6 million people.
	That's what happened today to me.
	And it's in the context of what Kamala Harris and the Democrats are doing.
	We have the reports from John Kelly that President Trump is like Hitler.
	He wants acquiescent generals surrounding him.
	And this has become the new talking point, the new script for all of them.
	We have again and again the lies.
	Now they're trying to tie it to the Sunday rally at Madison Square Garden because in 1938 some Nazis had a rally there.
	Well, so did Bill Clinton.
	I think that's actually where his nominating convention occurred.
	So is he a fascist as well?
	Let me quote to you first a little clip from an individual who was my colleague in the White House.
	He worked for the Vice President.
	As such, not really a Trump supporter.
	Nick Ayers was not really America first, but he had something to say about General Kelly's recent accusations.
	Cut three.
	Well, I'm responding to one general who made egregious comments that are simply not true, that are manufactured.
	If they were true, obviously the American people would have known about it before then.
	You all know how the White House was covered.
	There were no secrets at that White House related to what the president was saying or thinking.
	This is, once again, we're in October of an election year, and people associated with a military-industrial complex or Every other facet of government which has been incapable of controlling and manipulating Donald Trump is once again seeking to throw a curveball to the American people.
	So whether it's President Trump calling dead privates rude names, using ethnic slurs, wanting to do things that were Hitlerian, none of it is true.
	John Kelly lied.
	There you have the Vice President's former Chief of Staff, Nick Ayers, saying, nope, it didn't happen.
	This morning, somebody who's been on the show, I don't know, 50 times, texted me and told me a story which he felt ashamed of.
	Then I said, you know, Tom, you should make amends.
	And as a good man, he did.
	And he posted this on Twitter today.
	And I want to salute him by reading it to you because it's about General Kelly and what they're trying to do to President Trump.
	This is from Tom Rose's account.
	Tom Rose, I-N-D-Y. Former foreign policy and NASCAR advisor to Pence in the White House.
	My colleague and still my friend.
	This Kelly thing has me fuming.
	While I would be surprised if he could pick me out of a police line-up, there was one direct encounter I had with Kelly regarding that well-known individual, Seb Gawker.
	While everyone knew General Kelly was known to be a control freak, even I was stunned by just how much so.
	Shortly after he left the White House, that's me, after years of service to President Trump, I invited my friend back to his old haunts in the White House for breakfast in the Navy mess.
	What I didn't know, and still can't possibly understand, General Kelly had personally banned my friend Sebastian from the White House.
	While one can only speculate on the reason for this terribly petty act, my hunch was that the General thought Sebastian Gawker had to be some kind of personal threat to Kelly's authority because he was close to the President, who always thought very highly of him.
	I got an unusually early call that a.m.
	from my former boss, Nick Ayres, Chief of Staff to Mike Pence, who he himself was likely woken up by the General, to tell me that the White House Chief needed to see me a-sap.
	Somewhat alarmed, I asked what on earth it could be about, since I didn't think General Kelly even knew who I was.
	Nick tried to explain, but he didn't know.
	He just said, go see the Chief of Staff.
	And here's the story.
	When Kelly saw Gawker's name on the Secret Service Daily Waves Visitors Log, he wanted to know why on earth I would invite someone like him for breakfast.
	I answered because he's my friend.
	He then told me that he had ordered the Secret Service to block Gawker's entry to the White House.
	As a result, I was violating White House protocol.
	By not pushing back against General Kelly...
	I not only let myself down, but more importantly, I let down my friend Sebastian Gorka, and I apologized to him for it.
	This story isn't about me or what Tom Rose did to me.
	It's about who General Kelly is.
	Nobody elected him, and he thinks that he is above the 64 million Americans who elected President Trump.
	We have fascists in America, and they include John Kelly, and we must crush them on November the 5th.
	Have you voted?
	Have you got everyone you know to vote?
	If you haven't, they'll be running the country.
	TrumpForce47.com.
	That's how we're going to win.
	TrumpForce47.com.
	If you're not working for President Trump, you might as well be working for Kamala.
	I have to tell you, I mean, I've worked on several presidential I've worked on several presidential campaigns, and I am shocked that her campaign team continues to agree to and I am shocked that her campaign team continues to agree to do these interviews, which
	She's not clear in presenting the vision that she would have to basically fix America, the same America that she broke.
	I meet independents and Republicans, many of them are my family members, who tell me they just want to get back to their lives.
	They don't want to wake up every morning and check Twitter and see what he's tweeting from the toilet.
	They want to get back to their own lives, and that's part of the case that Kamala Harris is making.
	She's going to focus on what you need in your life, and this is not going to be another me, me, me presidency.
	That's incredible.
	When she came out on price gouging at grocery stores, okay?
	And she said, look, I'm going to make sure these grocery stores, which, by the way, are the lowest margin of all of our sectors in our economy, 3.5%, I'm going to go after them with a new layer of government regulations so that every watermelon you buy is government price tested.
	Now, that was a very interesting idea.
	They tried that in the Soviet Union.
	That's not what she said.
	We have a whole...we're gonna continue this conversation because I think the other...
	You don't like that one?
	No, no, we're gonna...
	You could make America perfect.
	How would you do it?
	Jobs within the black community, a lot of immigrants are taking.
	You know, the Democrats got mad at Trump when he said that the migrants were taking black jobs.
	There's no reason to get mad because it's the truth.
	People said to me, are you serious?
	I said I'm serious.
	Is Detroit a safe place?
	It may not be that safe anymore.
	I'm not going to be out here walking the streets at night.
	That's a big ass no.
	It's not safe.
	The Democrats say they want to make the whole country like Detroit.
	Man, I don't know, man.
	You better get your army gear.
	I'm afraid!
	What do you say to those people, especially ones who might be concerned that doing a big closing argument speech at a place like the Ellipse may be leaning more into talking about the threat of Trump to democracy and not his threats that you see to the economy?
	One of the things that I love about the American people is we can hold many thoughts at once.
	And one of the highest priorities for the American people right now is bringing down costs, and that is the priority of my agenda and will be the priority of my work when I'm elected president of the United States.
	What did you say?
	She can't answer a question.
	No, it's amazing.
	Hold on, don't shout at me.
	You came voluntarily.
	did i ask you to come?!
	enough, enough, enough, enough, enough.
	he's on Or, well, he's not very infected.
	You want to do PhD or T2T here?
	I've got T2T here.
	Okay.
	We'll do PhD with KD and 2A. Play me in 8.
	8.
	But there still is a double standard, and I think there's also a double standard because it still is very difficult to cover Donald Trump.
	You know, he is incoherent half the time, then he'll come out with something that is about how dangerous migrants are, and that cuts through, and then he goes back to talking about Hannibal Lecter or whatever is on his mind.
	And it's really hard to cover that, and so I think there is almost a default in the press Where people go back and say, okay, well, you know, at least Harris is trying to answer questions and she is putting out real policy.
	So, you know, let's go pile on her and make...
	All right.
	G is ready for anything on America First.
	Especially if you support those that make the show possible.
	The great Tunnel to Towers Foundation, created after 9-11 to support the families of those who lost first responders on that dreadful day, is now also supporting the warfighters who come back from foreign wars critically injured.
	They receive support by the building of custom homes that are gifted to these heroes mortgage-free.
	It's just $11 a month.
	Please support those who've given so much to us.
	us, just go to t2t.org and become a supporter of those who have bled for us and have kept our nation, the greatest nation on God's green earth.
	Tunnel to Towers, t2t.org, t2t.org.
	We have to discuss the next week and a half, but we also have to deal with, you know, some of the lighter things in life.
	Especially when they just get it wrong.
	Jesse Waters sent somebody into Detroit after...
	Well, what was it, Lizzo?
	What was it, Eric?
	You said Lizzo said something wrong about Detroit and then her face changed.
	What was that moment three days ago?
	At a Kamala rally, she very, without hesitation, said, you know, if Kamala Harris wins, all of America will look like Detroit.
	And there was a moment where she kind of looked aside and did a cringe moment, and that's...
	Lazily, sloppily started rattling off positives.
	Like, uh, uh, proud like Detroit.
	Resilient like Detroit.
	Right.
	Because I always think of pride when I think of Detroit.
	Lots of gay pride parades, I'm sure.
	Well, they actually went on the streets of Detroit, an awesome member.
	What do they call them?
	You're not allowed to say the wrong thing here.
	People of color from Detroit.
	Cut 10!
	Jobs within the black community, a lot of immigrants are taking.
	You know, the Democrats got mad at Trump when he said that the migrants were taking black jobs.
	There's no reason to get mad, because it's the truth.
	People said to me, are you serious?
	I said I'm serious.
	Is Detroit a safe place?
	It may not be that safe anymore.
	I'm not going to be out here walking the streets at night.
	That's a big-ass no.
	It's not safe.
	The Democrats say they want to make the whole country like Detroit.
	Man, I don't know, man.
	You better get your army gear.
	I'm afraid, all right?
	Your governor, Gretchen Whitmer, was caught feeding Doritos to a woman on her knees.
	I don't roll with the freaky stuff.
	They look real freaky.
	You know, look a little freaky.
	What has the Democrat Party done for you?
	They haven't done s*** for me.
	How long do the cameras roll for?
	Because we're going to be rolling for a long time until I can think of something.
	They ain't putting nothing in my pocket.
	They didn't come up to me and shake my hand.
	What has Donald Trump done for you?
	Things were more affordable and I had more money in my pocket.
	Not a damn thing.
	We need him to sign off on stuff real quick.
	He said he's gonna be a dictator on day one.
	Bring on that dictatorship.
	He has done more for the black community than Barack Obama has.
	I almost said that but I decided I shouldn't say it.
	That was actually some very good editing there.
	I don't roll with the freaky stuff to let's roll with the dictatorship.
	I'm curious, Jeff, do you think – I know it's Fox, right?
	So they've got a certain thing they want to present.
	Do you think they had to interview a lot of people to get those cuts?
	No, because that was a minute of four and a half minutes.
	I was surprised.
	Usually it looks like they cherry-picked a few.
	There was a time that was four and a half minutes long.
	But that was the best?
	I tried to do the best part, yeah.
	Okay.
	This is very good as well.
	What is Eric Swalwell famous for?
	There's two things in history that Eric Swalwell will go down for.
	Having sex with a Chinese spy as a congressman.
	And as a local assemblyman, first in California, and then as a congressman.
	And then what's the other thing, Eric?
	He has issues of...
	The Green New Deal is not happy with Eric Swalwell, are they?
	Because his effect on the atmosphere is problematic.
	Yeah, I had a little bit of an accident while he was doing an interview on, I think, MSNBC. It was with Chris Matthews, if I recall.
	He affected the hole in the ozone with his, well, let's just be medical about it, his flatulence on air.
	Never a good thing.
	So having sex with Chinese spies and releasing gases from your posterior while you are being interviewed is not a good thing.
	But he's also very funny.
	He's amusing because he's finally told us what American voters are doing when they vote for Kamala Harris.
	You know, it's not going to be securing the border or fixing the economy or stopping wars in the Middle East or getting back the apartment buildings taken over by Venezuelan crime gangs.
	Why are Americans voting for Kamala?
	I meet independents and Republicans, many of them are my family members, who tell me they just want to get back to their lives.
	They don't want to wake up every morning and check Twitter and see what he's tweeting from the toilet.
	They want to get back to their own lives, and that's part of the case that Kamala Harris is making.
	She's going to focus on what you need in your life, and this is not going to be another me, me, me presidency.
	Jeff, shouldn't it be something the only congressman who farted live on television avoid talking about is going to the toilet?
	That would be a good idea for him, yes.
	And, I mean, is he really that stupid that he thinks people are going to vote for her because Trump won't be tweeting?
	In his defense, what are you supposed to say if you're pro Kamala right now?
	What are you going to do?
	Well, she's black and she's a woman.
	Yeah, they've kind of gotten past that part because that's not working.
	You think?
	I haven't heard that very much.
	I haven't heard that in ages.
	I mean, it's the chance to vote for the first president, a woman of color.
	I have not heard it in 30 days.
	Where did that go?
	That was like the thing three months ago.
	That was the thing.
	They want to save it for the first person as a chance, I think, that campaigns for her.
	That's so true.
	It's disappeared.
	The DEI thing has disappeared.
	Wow.
	The things you don't even think about because we're bombarded every single day by this insanity.
	And I guess the black female thing didn't work.
	Let's go to Wendy, Louisville, line two.
	Yes.
	Yes.
	Yeah, I have a couple suggestions for movies.
	Okay, hang on, hang on, hang on.
	Let me get out my Making Movies Great Again list so I can add them should I concur with your choices.
	Go ahead, Wendy.
	Apollo 13.
	Apollo 13.
	That's the Hanks one, right?
	Tom Hanks.
	Yeah, yeah.
	It's not a bad movie.
	Okay, I am writing it down.
	Carry on.
	What else?
	The Wizard of Oz.
	Oh my gosh.
	Eric, have we not reviewed The Wizard of Oz?
	No, we have not.
	What?
	How is that possible?
	We did Casablanca.
	Oh my gosh.
	Wendy, Wendy, you are a savior.
	The Wizard of Oz, absolutely bloody mandatory.
	One of the most amazing movies I know.
	It's Jeff's favorite.
	Any other suggestions?
	Yes, yes, because that goes along with the election right now.
	The Wicked Witch?
	Kamala is the Wicked Witch with her flying monkeys?
	Yeah!
	Why do you like The Wizard of Oz?
	I love the lion.
	The Cowardly Lion.
	Yep, yep, yep.
	Absolutely.
	I love that one.
	And one more thing.
	I am working the polls.
	God bless.
	You know, the election polls.
	Yes.
	I'm an election officer.
	I'm doing the early voting and also the day of the polls here in Louisville.
	Well, thank you kindly.
	Stay on the line, Wendy.
	Let's give Wendy our new Too Big to Rig t-shirt.

	Come Wendy, stay on stay on the line.
	Come Wendy, stay on the line.
	You could make America perfect.
	How would you do it?
	Well, I think that America is a country that has tremendous, tremendous potential.
	I think that much like the mind, I think that America is using very, very little of its potential.
	I feel that this country with the proper leadership can go on to become what it once was.
	What should it be?
	It should merely be a country that gets the respect of other countries.
	Is respect the most important thing in your opinion?
	Well, respect can lead to other things.
	When you get the respect of the other countries, then the other countries tend to do a little bit as you do, and you can create the right attitudes.
	For some people, the ultimate goal in life has been becoming the President of the United States.
	Would you like to be the President of the United States?
	I really don't believe I would, Rona, but I would like to see somebody as the President who can do the job, and they're very capable people in this country.
	Why wouldn't someone like yourself run for political office?
	You have all the money that you possibly need.
	You've accomplished a great deal, even though you are only 34.
	I know there's a lot of things that you possibly can do in the years ahead.
	Why wouldn't you dedicate yourself to public service?
	Because I think it's a very mean life.
	I would love and I would dedicate my life to this country, but I see it as being a mean life.
	And I also see it as somebody with strong views and somebody with the kind of views that are maybe a little bit unpopular, which may be right, but may be unpopular, wouldn't necessarily have a chance of getting elected against somebody with no great brain but a big smile.
	And that's a sad commentary for the political process.
	You have to see that the video at the end where he says no brain but a big smile and it shows Joe Biden.
	You know, it's very interesting.
	That's Donald Trump from 40 years ago.
	40 years ago, saying all the right things.
	It's actually quite remarkable that it took so long for him to actually run for the presidency.
	I know he had that trial balloon earlier on, but he has been dedicated to saving America for generations.
	And now we have to make sure that he can do it again.
	It's up to us, God willing.
	Make sure you get 10 of your friends to vote.
	Vote early.
	I'll explain why you have to vote early every single day until the election.
	Let's, oh, hang on.
	Do I have to do something here?
	What have we got?
	MyPillow.
	Please support Michael Lindell.
	You know the number.
	You know the website, mypillow.com.
	Call him up right now.
	Go to MyPillow's website or call 800-829-8468. That's 800-829-8468, mypillow.com.
	Promo code G-O-R-K-A.
	Don't buy Chinese garbage on Amazon.
	He's got hundreds of things on his website that you need, mypillow.com.
	Code Gawker.
	Let's go to line one.
	Sam in Mississippi.
	Hello?
	Yes.
	Yeah, I just wanted to speak out on behalf of President Trump.
	You know, in the past, we've had Osama Bin Laden, then we had Osama Joe Biden, and now we have Osama Mama Kamala, and they talk about a dictatorship.
	We've been under a dictatorship for four years.
	I would say we're getting close.
	We're not quite there.
	We don't quite have the labor camps, yes, but we do have political prisoners.
	We do have Steve Bannon.
	We do have the targeting of innocent Americans for political purposes.
	You're absolutely right.
	You're absolutely right.
	Ken in San Francisco, line two.
	Good day, Sebastian.
	Thank you.
	I recommended a movie to you probably a year or so ago called Hell to Eternity.
	And I've got another movie to recommend to you today called North by Northwest.
	Oh, Hitchcock.
	We're going to review one of Hitchcock's earliest movies this afternoon.
	You don't want to miss it.
	North by Northwest.
	That is my best friend's favorite movie.
	Why do you like North by Northwest?
	Well, look at the stars, the actors.
	That movie was made in the 50s.
	Mm-hmm.
	But that proved that you don't need technology or violence to make a great movie.
	Great actors, great script, they used...
	And a great idea, right?
	The final scene on Mount Rushmore, that's quite a clever device.
	That was the technology, because they used height as the fear factor.
	Yeah, fabulous idea.
	I have written them down.
	Thank you, Ken.
	Let's go to Jimmy in Montana.
	Oh, another movie idea.
	What's your suggestion, Jimmy?
	Yeah, Mr.
	Gork, probably my favorite movie if I had to pick one, Lawrence of Arabia.
	Yeah, but isn't it just...
	It's a beautiful film.
	Absolutely beautiful.
	Lean's photography is superlative.
	It's a bit bloody long.
	And also, it's a bit of a propagandizing about Lawrence because he's not quite the hero he was made out to be in that movie.
	Why do you like Lawrence of Arabia?
	Well, like you were saying, you know, David Lean's cinematography and direction, I think, too, right?
	Yeah.
	Let me, let me, let me, let me, let me, Jimmy, how about this?
	How about I take it under advisement, and I will consult with my co-host for making movies again, Chris Coles, and we'll see what he has to say.
	Alright, don't go anywhere.
	We have the chair next up here on America First of the American Conservative Union, my good friend Match Lab.
	Don't go anywhere.
	We are broadcasting to you live from the ReliefFactor.com studios.
	Relief Factor works.
	How do I know that?
	I don't need somebody else to tell me.
	I take it every single morning and every evening.
	When I started almost six years ago, six years in January, I had a lower back pain issue that plagued me for nine years, almost a decade.
	I took Relief Factor two weeks later.
	I was pain-free, and I'm still pain-free today.
	That's the experience of over a million Americans who tried everything else and failed to find relief.
	If you want to be the next success story, there's only one way to find out.
	Order the three-week quick starter pack at relieffactor.com.
	It'll be at your door in three days or less.

	And I promise you, Dr.
	G's guarantee.
	By the end of those three weeks, you will know whether it works for you.

	Did you see last night?
	He blew it.
	He said, lock him up.
	He said, lock him up last night.
	He's not allowed to say that.
	He's such a stupid guy.
	Come in with that and give me cut six.
	Come in with 12 and then here's six.
	The American people are on trial.
	And if we choose, if a sufficient number of us and a sufficient number of states choose to ignore the evidence that, as the Bible says, those with eyes to see and ears to hear can detect, then there's no...
	We have no excuse.
	We might have an explanation, which is that for a series of reasons, people are not holding the Republican Party and the nominee of that party to rational account.
	All right, he's on.
	Good.
	Hey, buddy.
	Sebastian, I'm so sorry.
	Did we wake you up from your nap?
	No, no.
	I was just never told that this got booked, so it's our staff's fault.
	So have they been fired?
	Have you sent them to work at the DNC? I should probably fire myself because I should also be constantly asking what's going on.
	All right, so we're going to have some fun and then we're going to get serious, okay, about the last 11 days.
	Alright, good.
	So come in with...
	12, Trump.
	12, and then I'm going to quickly tee up 13, and then we're going to go to Matt.
	Alright, D. Actually, what do I got here?
	This is D. Okay, yeah, that works.
	That works.
	Alright, one minute to go, Matt.
	Can you...
	Oh yeah, Yunkin's been hitting Vox a lot today.
	Can you just stick here till the end of the hour?
	Me?
	Whatever you want, man.
	You got me where you want me.
	All right, so it'll be like eight minutes and then the closing three minutes of the first hour.
	That's fine.
	Whatever you want.
	Great.
	Thanks, buddy.
	40 seconds 40 seconds 40 seconds 40 seconds We'll be right
	back.
	We'll be right back.
	Did you see last night?
	He blew it.
	He said, lock him up.
	He said, lock him up last night.
	He's not allowed to say that.
	He's such a stupid guy.
	It's not that President Trump in Arizona talking about Trump.
	I'd say, we've got to lock him up after the election.
	They said, oh, did I say that?
	But it's not just the former candidate.
	It's the current one whose campaign is in trouble.
	And here's a really good question that somebody we like a lot raises about Kamala.
	Cut 13.
	I have to tell you, I mean, I've worked on several presidential campaigns, and I am shocked that her campaign team continues to agree to do these interviews, which I think only makes her look weak.
	She's not clear in presenting the vision that she would have to basically fix America, the same America that she broke.
	And I think that there really hasn't been any creativity going on with this campaign.
	Mercedes Schlapp on Newsmax, former head of all things communicative in the White House.
	Let's talk to her lesser half, the chair, the comfortable easy boy of the American Conservative Union, Mr.
	CPAC. Matt Schlapp, it's been a while.
	Good to see you, Sebastian.
	So your wife's question is a good question.
	Why aren't they hiding her in the basement?
	I mean, President Trump just did whatever it was, three hours with Joe Rogan.
	Can't wait to see it.
	And allegedly, allegedly, Kamala's going to do it as well.
	And it's like, how dumb is this campaign?
	It is strange because the one thing the Democrats I trust have been saying all the way along is she has like the most talented people at the helm of her campaign.
	They all think that she's a B minus candidate at best, but they really felt like the campaign was well wired and well managed.
	Didn't she say that was her greatest weakness on that CNN interview?
	What is your greatest weakness?
	I surround myself with excellent people.
	I mean, like she's a child in high school.
	Yes, I've just worked too hard, Matt.
	That's my weakness.
	Well, she also surrounds herself with a man that beat up a woman.
	And I think the media should be covering that as well.
	And so you come down to it, Sebastian.
	Is she still surprised that she's going to get a question that says, how will you be different from Joe Biden?
	Or if Joe Biden broke it all, what are you going to do differently to fix it?
	She can't connect with this question.
	How is it possible?
	You're the vice president of the United States serving a failed president, and you're not ready for this question?
	It's implausible.
	Follow Matt at mschlapp on Twitter, cpac.org, cpac.org.
	All right, let's get down to brass tacks.
	Let's get really serious.
	Dan Borgino said the following on his show, and I commended him for it, and I told him he's got to clip it and blast it out everywhere.
	He said, everything's looking good for the president right now.
	If the trend lines continue, it looks good for President Trump.
	However...
	The real challenge is going to be the night of the election and it's going to be forcing, expressing enough pressure on the mainstream media that they call it when it is callable.
	When we know because of all the early voting that...
	President Trump has won whatever it is, Florida, Pennsylvania, Georgia, because there aren't enough outstanding votes to count that even if all of them went to Kamala, she could win.
	No, the empirical mathematics doesn't work.
	If the mainstream media says, we're not going to call anything, we're going to wait a day or two or a week or two, Then the shenanigans begin in earnest.
	What do you think of this danger zone that when we have the facts in that make the correct math, they've got to call it for the winner?
	Yeah, so I hate to bring up this painful memory, but we need the Fox call of Arizona to occur on election night.
	They called it way early.
	We can all argue as to whether it was the right call, but we need to know election night who won.
	Why is that?
	Because the whole world's watching the United States of America and our rampant corruption.
	Europe had these EU parliamentary elections, 30-some-odd countries.
	They all knew the winners on election night.
	And then they have a parliamentary system, so it's even more complicated to know the names of the winners.
	But they still got it right.
	How cannot the United States of America know who the president is by the time we're getting up the next morning and putting on our Putting on our clothes.
	This is an insane thing that they're trying to normalize the fact that in a democracy, it takes days, weeks, or months to figure out the winner.
	And we have to put the pressure on them.
	I can't agree with Dan Bongino more.
	Dan was on air until I started the show, so I'll call him later with the same question I'm going to ask you, Matt.
	How do we do that?
	How do people like you, me, Dan, people with platforms, average Americans with social media accounts, how do we make sure that Americans demand, if France can do it, if Florida can do it night off, we want to know nationally who the winner is.
	How do we exert that pressure, Matt?
	Two things.
	The first thing, in the wake of all the irregularities of the 2020 elections, establishment Republicans and all the people that appeared on most TV shows and write in the major newspapers tried to say that there was really no fraud, nothing that was out of the ordinary.
	What we're seeing in the early vote is not the fact—I don't think it's necessarily the biggest thing out of it shows that we're going to have some kind of like amazing new number of Republicans voting.
	I think what it shows with so many Republicans voting early is that they all— We all have bought in and have seen the evidence that 2020 was riddled with fraud.
	So what you have is a massive subsection of the electorate that believes that 2020 was riddled with fraud.
	If they don't know who won this election on election night, those people are going to fit to be tied.
	A lot of people were kind of in a fog.
	They were like zombies.
	They were like, how could it possibly at three o'clock in the morning?
	Why did all this happen?
	They were trying to find answers.
	They now know if that stuff gets replicated on election day and election night in the morning after, there's going to be a substantial problem in this country.
	I don't want to go further because I worry about that problem.
	But are you saying you don't expect President Trump to get more votes than he did in 20?
	No, I think this is heading towards a very, very impressive win.
	I'm not diminishing that.
	All I'm saying is, to me, the biggest message in the early vote is Republicans now completely buy this idea that all of this fraud and problems...
	Happened on the nights with the...
	The stopping of the counting, the magical, oh, look, we found these votes there, those votes over here.
	Election machines not working on Election Day in Maricopa County.
	All this kind of stuff.
	We've won the argument.
	Donald Trump won the argument that if you don't watch these guys carefully, they're going to try every sleight of hand possible.
	And that's why in the Commonwealth of Virginia, where your wife does such a great job, They're literally putting illegals back on the ballot.
	Matt, this is my show.
	You're stealing my thunder.
	Katie was in the courtroom this morning when that Biden judge told the Commonwealth to put the illegals back on the voter rolls.
	We'll be talking to Katie at the top of the next hour.
	In the meantime, don't go anywhere.

	Is there anything else that you think we have to say in a short segment?
	Mike's hot.
	No, no, let's do that.
	That's great.
	Okay, good.
	Will you play me cut eight?
	Eight.
	Uh-huh.
	Scroll down.
	There it is.
	But there still is a double standard.
	And I think there's also a double standard because it still is very difficult to cover Donald Trump.
	You know, he is incoherent half the time.
	Then he'll come out with something that is about how dangerous migrants are, and that cuts through.
	And then he goes back to talking about Hannibal Lecter or whatever is on his mind.
	And it's really hard to cover that.
	And so I think there is almost a default in the press where people go back and say, okay, well, you know, at least...
	It's just a coincidence.
	I'm sure it's just a coincidence that in 1939, they held a pro-Nazi rally there.
	Yeah.
	It was a stain on MSG's history, and I imagine a very uncomfortable courtside seat for Spike Lee.
	And you know, one other thing that you'll see next week, Caitlin, is Trump actually reenacting the Madison Square Garden rally in 1939.
	I write about this in my book.
	President Franklin Roosevelt was appalled that...
	Enough, enough, enough.
	It's like no one's ever allowed to host a rally at Madison Square Garden ever again.
	Right, including the Democrats, right?
	Do you want to come in with one of those?
	Thank you.
	So yesterday we learned that Donald Trump's former chief of staff, John Kelly, a retired four-star general, confirmed that while Donald Trump was president, he said he wanted generals like Adolf Hitler had.
	Donald Trump...
	Really?
	That's all you've got?
	The Hitler, Hitler, Hitler thing?
	Didn't you try that before, Kamala?
	Is it a sign of desperation, or is it just truly who they've become?
	Katie will be with us in the next hour to discuss the news from Virginia, but let's close this hour with our good friend Matt Schlapp.
	Matt, I don't want to tempt fate, but they seem to be in trouble if all they've got is he's a Nazi.
	Yeah, and by the way, that rally was filled with national socialists.
	I have to keep reminding people that the fascists are the socialists.
	And a lot of our brethren lost their lives and their limbs fighting Nazism.
	And it's the Democratic Party under Obama, Biden, Kamala Harris, and Hillary Clinton that used their power to put people like Steve Bannon and Peter Navarro in jail.
	They've tried to put Donald Trump in jail to impoverish him.
	They use all the means of lawfare and the federal government to try to jail their political opponents.
	their political opponents.
	I wish, I wish we had their spirit for their illegality and wrongdoing.
	I wish, I wish we had their spirit for their illegality and wrongdoing.
	Hunter Biden is a free man for avoiding and not going to Congress when he was subpoenaed to appear.
	But yet when Republicans do something on an unconstitutional committee, they go to prison.
	There are two sets of rules in this country.
	That my friends is the definition of fascism.
	Well, Steve Banner will be released on Tuesday and we're planning to get the honey badger on the show the very next day.
	We've got 90 seconds left, Matt.
	Why is it important for conservatives against their better judgment or tradition to vote early?
	I've said it's very simple math.
	You can't move 80 million people to vote on Election Day, and if the rules cannot be changed right now, we play those rules.
	Your response?
	Yeah, it's very beneficial to use the laws to our advantage as well.
	And the number one reason, per our previous conversation, that the early vote tallies, which are so positive for Donald Trump in almost every jurisdiction, is that it's setting in the mindset of the American people, and in the media, you can see with the coverage, that this is Donald Trump's race to lose, that he's going into this race five to eight points stronger than he was in the national polls four and eight years ago, which means that if they try to pull Funny business on Election Day.
	It's not going to make any sense with everything we're seeing on the trend line.
	So go out there and vote.
	My daughters just voted in the Commonwealth of Virginia today.
	And I know Katie's going to get this order reversed.
	Let's get the illegals off the rules.
	They can't say they want to follow the rules and stop fascism when they're using fascist tactics to put illegal ballots in these boxes.
	It's outrageous.
	It's un-American.
	And we're not going to let it stand.
	And we have to get everyone we know to vote early as well, correct?
	That's right.
	Amen, brother.

	It's Second Amendment Friday.
	Wherever you are, whatever you're doing, stay on this channel.
	Thank you.
	Magnificent.
	Last time she was on, people were very annoyed.
	Not because of her.
	Or me.
	But because she didn't show us.
	The hounds of Gorka headquarters.
	Katie Gorka, happy Friday.
	Hello.
	All right, you want to see?
	Oh, there's that little puppy.
	Look at that hound, that masterful hound.
	He's still a puppy.
	He's only one years old.
	That's Titus.
	Titus, you look amazing, although you're getting all your fur over Katie.
	All right, Rumblers, if you're not satisfied now, you never will be.
	We're not here to talk about him, though, although he is a handsome beast.
	I'm not talking about him.
	Nice.
	I'm talking about our dog.
	One of our two dogs.
	The little Leah's probably having a nap somewhere.
	Welcome, Chairwoman of the Fairfax County GOP. Hello.
	Super happy to be here.
	Boy, things are exciting in Virginia.
	All right, we'll get to that in a second.
	First, I want to shock Jeff.
	Jeff, are you ready for this?
	Are you sitting down?
	I am.
	My wife, when I recently told her...
	Did not want to believe that I mentioned her book every hour on the show.
	She said, oh, you don't do that.
	Can you help me out here, Jeff?
	Is that the only book that we can see on the bookcase that's facing out?
	Yeah, the only book you can see is because she's so sneaky on my bookcase and on her bookcase is Next Gen Marxism.
	Jeff, how often do I mention that book of a week?
	It's every hour.
	It's planned out in the meetings.
	Okay, I have a witness now.
	Are you satisfied, Katie?
	Wow, I'm impressed.
	Talking of witnesses, instead of making me cappuccino this morning on my new birthday gift cappuccino maker, where were you?
	I was down at the courthouse in Alexandria listening to the judges ruling on the removal of 6,303 non-citizens from the Virginia voter rolls.
	Or rather the non-removal.
	All right, so give us the latest blow from this Biden appointee.
	You said at the first meeting you were quite impressed with the way she behaved a few days ago.
	What happened this morning in front of your very eyes at that federal court?
	Yes.
	So yesterday, when the plaintiffs were presenting their case, I felt that she asked, you know, rather pointed questions.
	I didn't stay for the rest of the day.
	I heard she was a bit tougher on the defendants, the Virginia state representatives, but I wasn't there to hear it for myself, so I'm not going to comment on it.
	But this morning, she issued her ruling, and she granted the plaintiffs their injunction So that means the Biden DOJ and a group of nonprofits, including the League of Women Voters, have asked that those noncitizens be restored to the voter rolls, and she granted them this junction.
	So, you know, I just want to say that the effect of this is essentially to create a Kind of a 90-day sanctuary season now when anything goes.
	Non-citizens can register.
	Because this was the deadline.
	You can't do anything to the voter rolls 90 days before an election.
	Well, this judge has said, well, no, that 90 days is sacrosanct.
	You can't remove illegals or non-residents.
	What was the reaction from the state of Virginia, Katie?
	They're fighting.
	They've already filed an appeal.
	They're going to keep fighting this.
	The thing that's tricky about this is this goes back to the 1993 Voter Registration Act, the National Voter Registration Act.
	And at that time, noncitizens was not even really an issue.
	And so, first of all, they don't mention this as an issue.
	They mention other exceptions, like felons, people who are mentally unfit.
	Hans von Spakovsky from the Heritage Foundation argues it's understood, it's implicit in the law that non-citizens who are illegal to vote cannot be left on the rolls, because if they are left on the rolls, which is illegal, then that means the state is complicit in them committing an illegal act.
	It just makes no sense.
	Now, you said something, so...
	I'll be delicate here because, you know, you've got a job to do.
	You've got to bring us Fairfax County and you've been working every hour God sends you and you've impressed so many people as the new chair.
	You said some things were sloppy or foolhardy that the state did with regards to this.
	However, the broader conclusion Yes, exactly.
	So you've got two key issues here.
	One is the huge number of illegal immigrants who have crossed the border under Joe Biden.
	So he is set to reach 10 million.
	For his administration, compared to something just over $2 million for the Trump administration, that is a fourfold increase.
	So the numbers alone are staggering.
	But, yes, the point that I was making to you is that over the last 10, 15 years in Virginia, they have been Virginia has been sort of steadily eroding election security.
	And this has really been happening across the country.
	And some of these changes are even recent.
	So I'll just give you one small example is the fact that there is something here in Virginia called a limited duration driver's license.
	This is for non-citizens.
	Like diplomats and their families.
	Theoretically.
	Anybody who's got a legal presence document.
	So now that could also be a lot of people coming illegally because we know the Biden administration is giving many of them legal presence documents, like refugee numbers or, you know, Social Security numbers even.
	Virginia, in the last six years, has issued 440,000 of these legal presence driver's licenses, these limited duration driver's licenses.
	Suddenly, now, for this election, for the first time, these are considered an acceptable form of ID for voting.
	Okay, I want to repeat this for all of you out there.
	400,000 temporary licenses for non-citizens issued by one state, and that state, the Commonwealth of Virginia, is saying these documents can be used as voter ID. Sheer insanity.
	All right, I don't want to depress everybody.
	We literally have 11 days to go.
	Give us some good news, especially in terms of just energy and early voting, predominantly in Republican areas.
	Yeah, I mean, the energy continues to be absolutely incredible.
	We see Trump signs everywhere.
	I mean, I have to say four years ago, eight years ago, most people were too timid.
	They wouldn't put the bumper stickers on.
	I'm seeing them everywhere.
	In Northern Virginia, we're not talking about South, right?
	No.
	And we just had to order a load more because so many people want the signs.
	Early voting is up 40 percent over what it was four years ago.
	And I just saw a poll that says Paris only has a one-point lead over Trump in Virginia, where Biden at this time, I think, had a nine-point lead four years ago.
	Trump can win Virginia.
	I just need every single Republican to get out and vote.
	Take your friends, make sure your kids vote.
	And vote early.
	And yes, you can still vote early.
	Absolutely.
	You voted.
	I'm voting early.
	It's essential to vote early.
	Cross yourself off the list so President Trump's team doesn't have to chase you down.
	Okay.
	It's never good to get in trouble with your wife.
	There's another woman I do not want to get in trouble with, and I will if I don't mention her, Dr.
	Ashley Lucas.
	Okay.
	Of my PhD weight loss.
	Can you explain why this thing is so amazing?
	Here you are at your post PhD weight loss photograph.
	Why is Dr.
	Ashley Lucas and her team?
	Why are they so amazing?
	Can I just say I appreciate that you didn't show my pre PhD weight loss picture.
	We have the before and after for me every time I see it.
	For me, you can put it up.
	It's kind of like, oh my gosh, was that really me?
	And it's very, very scary.
	So no, we don't have a before picture for you.
	But tell everyone out there why this thing is real and you don't have to get an injection in your gut every month.
	Yeah, don't get the injection.
	You need to just change the way you eat and live long and healthy and it really works and it is a blessing.
	So do it.
	Do it.
	Okay.
	But in the next 11 days, you can have a cake if you go and vote early.
	You can have a slice of cake or a key lime pie, right, if they go vote early.
	There you go.
	All right.

	So do you want to come in with cut four then here or tee it up?
	I'll...
	No, come in with it.
	Come in with it.
	Okay, it's a minute long.
	Yep.
	Yeah.
	And I have the footage of his interview that I can play, you know, to remind people.
	Good.
	What he did, yep.
	And asking what he wants in the car, whether he wants his farm there or not.
	Oh, okay.
	Jeff's dialing him.
	Me.
	Me...
	No, you can turn the mics off, Alex.
	This is the first time on the show.
	Can you... Can you...
	Can you...
	So we're standing there and we're pointing at the guy crawling up the roof.
	And he had a gun, right?
	He had a rifle.
	We could clearly see him with a rifle, absolutely.
	We're pointing at him.
	The police are down there running around on the ground.
	We're like, hey man, there's a guy on the roof with a rifle.
	And the police are like, huh, what?
	You know, like they didn't know what was going on.
	You know, we're like, hey, right here on the roof.
	We can see him from right here.
	We see him.
	You know, he's crawling.
	And next thing you know, I'm like, I'm thinking to myself, I'm like, why is Trump still speaking?
	Why have they not pulled him off the stage?
	I'm standing there pointing at him for, you know, two, three minutes.
	Secret Service is looking at us from the top of the barn.
	I'm pointing at that roof, just standing there like this.
	And next thing you know, five shots ring out.
	July 13th, the video that went absolutely viral.
	One of the participants at the first Butler rally where they tried to kill President Trump talking to the BBC saying...
	Yeah, we saw the shooter on the roof.
	We told people, and they still let President Trump take the stage.
	Why did we show that video?
	Well, you'll find out in a second, given what happened at the second Butler rally, which I attended.
	But first, it's Friday, in which we celebrate the Second Amendment, because you only stop bad guys with a gun if you're a good guy with a gun.
	Car Firearms is our sponsor.
	There's a reason I carry one of their weapons every single day, because they're that good.
	Check out their line of weapons at kahr.com, including the legendary Desert Eagle and the auto-ordinance historic military weapons, including the M1 carbine, the Tommy gun, and the venerable 1911.
	This is a company Justin Moon and his team understand that the Second Amendment is the civil right that makes all others possible.
	Go to kahr.com.
	That's kahr.com.
	Well, I decided I got to go back to Butler, Pennsylvania to see the president, who is not afraid of anything.
	I did, and I had one of our special t-shirts on hidden underneath it, but at some point I had to reveal it.
	Fight, fight, fight!
	The president with his fist raised high.
	Lots of special guests there.
	We sat right behind Elon Musk, who took the stage.
	Somebody else came up to me as I was trying to hide and smoke a cigar.
	It's the guy.
	Yeah, the guy from the video.
	And we're delighted to have him with us today from the Brankles Farm in Butler, Pennsylvania.
	None other than Greg Smith.
	Greg, you've changed your hat.
	Hey, Sebastian.
	Good to be with you.
	Yeah.
	My wife actually advised me to wear this hat today.
	She said, this one looks better.
	I love the one with the Trump hair coming off the top, the visor.
	That was amazing.
	But that black and gold Trump hat looks amazing as well.
	So, I've got to ask you.
	You were there.
	You saw this suspicious character on the roof.
	What did you do then?
	So, you know...
	We were standing there listening to President Trump speak, you know.
	I don't know if you were there the first...
	I wasn't.
	I wasn't.
	No.
	Okay.
	It was extremely hot that day, Sebastian.
	I mean, it was like 95 degrees.
	So we were standing under a shade tree, you know, literally probably 150 yards from President Trump's stage.
	Just listening to him talk.
	Yeah.
	We looked over, just looking around, and we saw the guy up on the roof.
	And we're like, hey, I'm thinking to myself, is this a police officer?
	Who's this guy on the roof and army crawling up the roof?
	And at some point it kind of hits you like, hey, this guy's dressed in shorts and a t-shirt.
	He's not in any kind of official uniform.
	He's...
	He's up to no good, right?
	So, you know, then we start seeing a little bit of police activity around the building, running around.
	I'm sure everyone's seen the videos of the police and stuff kind of running around the side of the building.
	You know, and we start, you know, we're pointing, we're yelling.
	We're like, hey, man, you know, we see this guy.
	Did any police officer, anybody listen to you?
	I mean, I can't really...
	No, I mean, I can't recall any police officer at the time or even, you know, Secret Service officers or anyone really acknowledging us other than, you know, we saw that they were looking for someone.
	So after the president got shot, then this British journalist came up to you for BBC and started interviewing you?
	No.
	So interestingly enough, the story of how that interview happened is very cool.
	So after the shooting, I was still up at the site just trying to process everything that I just saw.
	I saw, you know, presumably President Trump get shot at.
	Then I saw, you know, this guy laying on the roof with blood dripping down.
	You know, and I'm looking at that and I'm like, what is going on?
	So I'm still just kind of standing there.
	And my wife calls me on the phone and says, hey, your kids are down here freaking out.
	Because they didn't know at the time.
	They all ran, right?
	So they didn't know if anyone else got shot up there.
	They didn't know if I was shot.
	They had no idea.
	So she called me to come down to our business.
	So I went down there.
	And when I got down there, my aunt texted me, and it's the aunt that I introduced you at the October 5th rally to, because I told you she's the reason the interview happened.
	She texted me and said, hey, are you guys all okay?
	And I immediately called her on the phone because I talked to her a lot about political stuff.
	I mean, she's very, very grounded, very, very big patriot.
	So I called her on the phone and I said, hey, yeah, you know, we're all okay.
	And I explained to her what I just saw, like what just happened, because no one knew what happened, obviously.
	I mean, we were right there, so we knew.
	So I told her and she thought that it sounded so crazy what I was telling her.
	She said, you need to go find someone and tell them what just happened.
	You mean the fact that you saw somebody on the roof?
	You need that to get out there.
	Yeah, you need to go tell them the whole story of what you just saw.
	Like, so that I saw someone crawling on the roof with a rifle and take shots at President Trump.
	She said, you need to go tell someone because, like, we all know how stuff happens in the media.
	Stuff gets spun, truths don't get out, all that kind of stuff.
	So that's what she was, you know, was worried about.
	So she said, go find someone, tell them.
	And I was like, okay, well, who am I going to go tell?
	And I looked across the street from our business and there was a TV camera set up over there.
	So I was like, okay, I'm going to walk over and find out who this is.
	So I walked over and I said, who are you?
	And they said, we're the BBC. And I said...
	Okay, you want to know what happened?
	I said, if you let me talk and don't cut up my interview, I said, I'll tell you exactly what happened.
	And they said, okay, you're on live right now.
	And I was like, oh, okay.
	And the rest is history.
	We're going to continue the story and why he came back.
	And I want to ask Greg, also, given the fact that he is a business owner, What the last four years have been like for him.

	That's my whole name, one word, sebastiangorka.substack.com.
	We'll be back with Greg in a moment.
	Music You have interesting weather there in Butler.
	Because when I was there and I met you, it was hot.
	And by the time the sun had gone down at the end of the day, it got really chilly.
	It did.
	It got very cold, yeah.
	Yeah, that's the time of the year, Sebastian.
	If the sun's out during the day, it's really hot.
	And then nighttime, man, it gets cold.
	So tell us about your farm.
	What do you have on your farm?
	What do you sell?
	So we have...
	All kind of produce, you know, the usual stuff, tomatoes, strawberries, corn, cucumbers, peppers, you know, all that kind of stuff.
	We have a retail store up here, so our farm is on about 300 acres, probably about five, no, probably about three miles down the road from where you were at the farm show grounds there.
	And then our retail store is like literally 100 feet down the road from where you were.
	Oh my gosh.
	And then you sell out of state or is it all local?
	It's all local.
	Yeah, it's all local stuff.
	We're just a small family-owned business.
	We used to supply some of the restaurants and some of the big food supply companies around here with stuff, but we've kind of downsized a little bit over the years.
	Just because it's so hard to find workers anymore.
	When my buddies who have medium-sized businesses, when I talk to them, it just blows my mind.
	It's like they can't find people who want to work.
	No.
	I mean, after COVID, it's like impossible.
	No, Sebastian.
	Even if you do hire people, they'll show up two days and then they won't show up the next day and then they'll show up like Three days later, you know, thinking they still have their job, like they're very, yeah, it's very hard.
	It's very hard.
	How long has your family had the farm?
	So we have had the farm since, well, it was, so it was started by my wife's grandfather back in the probably 1930s.
	And then passed down to my wife's father and so we've been up here in Butler though since like the early 90s, since like 91.
	That's great.
	I'm gonna tee up 14 again and then I'm gonna go to Greg.
	Tee up 14 and then back to Greg.
	I need a title for Katie.
	Hang on a second.
	What else is an important cut?
	Play cut 9 quickly.
	You know what?
	I got so many...
	I don't look at comments about myself, but I was looking up some comments about my grief podcast, and I came across this whole inundation from people who are Harris supporters saying to me online today, like, how dare you?
	What a betrayal that you would ask her these questions.
	And I'm like, you misunderstand what my job is.
	I'm not on MSNBC. No disrespect, what they do is they're very talented.
	But I don't watch it.
	I'm not interested in watching what these overpaid, blow-dried anchors think.
	Okay.
	Just call out MSNBC. Love it.
	All right.
	Coming in with 14?
	No, I'm going to tee it up.
	That's right.
	Oh, that's right.
	Pillow here.
	Yep.
	No, no.
	Car 15.
	Car.
	That's right.
	That's right, car.
	All right.
	All right.
	This is Second Amendment Friday on America First with Dr. J.
	G. Justin Moon, the CEO, and his executives at Car Firearms stand with us here at America First and are willing to put their brand's reputation on the line to stand up for our collective liberty.
	Support our Second Amendment sponsor by checking out their amazing line of weapons at kahr.com.
	There's a reason.
	I carry a car nine every single day.
	They also own the legendary Hollywood line of Desert Eagle, the D. We're good to go.
	Of those who actually suffered under Hitler concerning this slur from Kamala and her ilk, let's listen to Jerry Wartitsky, who survived the Holocaust, Cut 14.
	My name is Jerry Wartitsky.
	I'm 94 years old.
	And survivor of Auschwitz and the Dead Marches.
	Adolf Hitler invaded Poland when I was nine years old.
	He murdered my parents and most of our family.
	I know more about Hitler than Kamala will ever know in a thousand lifetimes.
	For her to accuse President Trump of being like Hitler, It's the worst thing I've ever heard in my 75 years living in the United States.
	I know President Trump, and he would never say this, and Kamala Harris knows it.
	She owns my parents and everybody else who was murdered by Hitler, an apology for repeating this lie.
	Kamala Harris owes that man and his family killed by Hitler an apology because that's the worst thing he has ever heard as a survivor of the Holocaust.
	We're back with the individual who went viral on that BBC interview after the first Butler assassination attempt of President Trump.
	Greg Smith, why were you at the second Butler rally?
	And why was it important for you to be there at the first one?
	So, it's actually a funny story why I was at the second rally, Sebastian, and I think I mentioned this to you that day, but I wasn't going to go to the second one because my family was all, they were all pretty nervous about, you know, kind of almost like PTSD from the first one.
	I mean, we were all there right beside the shooter, literally 75 times.
	50 feet from or whatever.
	So they have some PTSD. You know, they didn't want me to go.
	I wasn't going to go.
	We had just a party done in our business again, where I was smoking briskets for everybody again, you know, just planned on hanging out there.
	And then my aunt, the same aunt that I told you about, that told me to go find someone to tell what I just saw, sent me a picture, probably about 11 a.m.
	that morning.
	With a seat that had a sign on it with my name on it right beside your seat.
	Right, because I had a reserved seat, and then you had one because you were invited back, and your seat was right next to mine.
	So what did your aunt tell you?
	Well, she didn't tell me anything.
	She just sent me that picture, and as soon as I saw that picture with your name on it beside it, I said, I have to go meet Sebastian because you've been one of my favorites forever, and that I wasn't going to pass up the chance to meet you.
	Well, that's too kind.
	That's too kind.
	And it was great to meet you.
	I instantly said, oh my gosh, that's the guy!
	And I told my friend Alan, that's the guy from the BBC video.
	That's him.
	All right.
	Greg Smith, Brenkel's Farm, Butler, Pennsylvania.
	We've got a minute left.
	You're talking to about three and a half million people right now.
	People can follow you at MammothUSA8269 on Twitter.
	What have the four years we've just been through been like for you as an American who runs a business in Butler?
	Yeah, I mean, Sebastian, I'll tell you, you know, prices of stuff right now, as everyone knows, is just insane.
	We have people coming into our store almost getting mad at us for the prices of things.
	They're blaming you, saying, why is it so expensive, right?
	Yeah.
	Yeah, and we're like, listen, this is what we have to do to stay in business.
	Either we're going to go out of business or we're going to raise our prices.
	I mean, that's what everyone's dealing with right now.
	And Pennsylvania is the keystone state.
	We need every Pennsylvanian to get their friends to vote and vote early.
	Correct, Greg?
	Absolutely.
	Vote early.
	That's what...
	That's what seems to be working right now, so let's do it.
	You know, we never, as Republicans, we always vote on Election Day, right?
	Well, no.
	We're voting early now.
	It's the only way to win.
	If we don't like the rules, tough.
	We'll change them after we win.
	These are the rules.
	This is how we win.
	Greg, will you do me a favor?
	Will you say thank you to your aunt for sending you that photograph?
	Because it was a pleasure to meet you.
	I will, Sebastian, and thank you, man.
	It was a huge, huge, you know, honor for me to meet you that day as well.
	It was an incredible day.
	We will save America together.
	It's up to us.

	This is Second Amendment Friday on America First.
	Brought to you by Carr Firearms.
	We should be thankful every single day to the Lord, our Creator, that we remain for the time being the freest nation on God's green earth.
	Why?
	Because of our right to keep and bear arms.
	No other company understands that better than Then our Second Amendment Friday sponsors, Car Arms.
	Justin Moon, their CEO, and the team stand behind us and understand that the Second Amendment is the first liberty that makes all of our civil rights possible.
	Check out their amazing line of weapons at kahr.com, including the Desert Eagle line of Hollywood superstars, and the Auto Ordnance historic military line, including the M1 carbine, the venerable Tommy gun, and the legendary 1911.
	Talking of 1911s, well, we'll do that a little bit later.
	First things first, is it the most popular rifle in America after the 10-22 Ruger?
	Probably.
	It is the AR-15.
	I cut my teeth on the FN Fal.
	I love the FN Fal.
	I'm pretty partial to the AK-47, but if you're going to buy an AR-15, which one should you choose?
	Well, I just found this little short on YouTube, and here's one man's opinion.
	The Sig Spear is one of my favorite firearms and it comes in a number of different cartridges and a number of different sizes.
	This is the 300 Blackout version.
	I absolutely love this rifle.
	The cartridge, the 300 Blackout, is one of the most useful modern cartridges out there with its super and sub offerings.
	This thing has A side folding stock on it, has all the features of the SIG spear, has adjustable gas system.
	I have a light on here with the SIG can and right now I have some supersonic AAC ammunition loaded into it.
	This is the Romeo 9T red dot sight.
	This has two dots, one red, one green, one for supers and one for subs.
	That's the way I'm using it and they're both independently adjustable.
	Just an outstanding rifle and probably one of the best, most useful cartridges out there right now.
	Was that a SIG promotional video?
	I don't think so, because the man shooting that weapon was wearing a Swedish, I think it's an M90 shirt, which means he may in fact be the man behind the Military Arms Channel, the one and only Tim Harmsen.
	Tim, welcome back to America First.
	How's it going, my friend?
	Good, good, good, good.
	I got a bone to pick with you, okay?
	Because I know you're a FENFAL guy as well.
	.308 is the only rifle caliber.
	I do like the.300 Blackout, but dude, the SIG Spear, A, you're a gorilla like me.
	I think you're even taller than me.
	It's got this stubby little folding stock, and they're bloody heavy for ARs.
	Why do you like the Spear?
	Let's get out of the way first.
	Well, first of all, the Spear is just kind of a modern evolution of pretty much all the things that we like in rifles.
	So it has a little bit of AR, a lot of AR, has a little bit of, going back in time, has a little bit of AR-180 in it, Eugene Stoner's genius.
	So you got two Eugene Stoner designs in there, a little bit of FAL because it has a short stroke gas piston in it.
	So it's kind of an amalgamation of all these different types of firearms, which is kind of where we're at, right?
	Everything that was new in the firearms world had already been invented by the Second World War, right?
	So everything that we do after that is pretty much taking bits and pieces of things that have already existed, reconfiguring them, and making a new product.
	The Glock is a perfect example.
	Glock wasn't the first striker-fired handgun.
	It wasn't the first polymer-framed handgun.
	It wasn't any of that, but it was the most popular of taking those different features from earlier designs.
	So that's just kind of where we are, and that's why I love the Sig Sphere.
	But don't you find it a little bit heavy, Tim, for an AR? Yeah.
	It's a bit heavier, but it's not drastically heavier.
	And because the one I'm talking about is a short-barrel rifle, you know, if it had a full-length handguard on it, you know, 16-inch barrel, it would be more heavy.
	But it really isn't.
	And if you go even smaller, the same rifle, just by a different name, the Rattler, oh my goodness, it defies logic.
	I have the Rattler.
	The Rattler is not even a gun.
	It's like a little cute toy.
	It's all cute.
	It's like the kitty cat of ARs.
	And I have mine in.300, and it's a very nice gun.
	All right.
	That's not the reason I got you on the show today.
	Follow him on YouTube, Superb Channel, Military Arms Channel, and Mac underscore Arms on Twitter.
	It's the other video that crossed my path recently.
	You are a former Marine.
	You love the old slab-sided 1911 with its fat, slow.45.
	But you've got this new gun you reviewed.
	I've been a fan of the Bull armory weapon since the 80s, since they kind of invented the polymer-framed double-stack 1911.
	I think the SAS-2 Ultralight, this micro, micro-compact 2011, is one of my favorite new guns.
	Tell us about the EDC. Is this really your new carry gun, Tim?
	It is.
	And first of all, yes, love the 1911.
	Again, that historical handgun is one of John Browning's most classic designs, and it bleeds over into pretty much every modern firearm in terms of how it operates.
	And then you've got the ergonomics of the 1911.
	The 2011 with its thicker grip doesn't really change that a whole lot, especially if you have larger hands.
	But it's just so familiar to me.
	And I've always said you can take an okay shooter, put a good 1911 in their hands, and they become a good shooter, right?
	Especially because of that trigger, right?
	Right.
	The trigger, the ergonomics, everything about it, it was really built to work in the human hand.
	And so then you couple that with the Bull Armory modifications, and yeah, we're in the second generation of their polymer-framed 1911s, and they just knocked it out of the park.
	The EDC has an aluminum and polymer lower, so it brings that weight down a bit.
	4.25-inch barrel, which is a commander-length barrel, but a full-size grip frame.
	And then all the amenities, right?
	Red dot sights, really great serrations, undercut trigger, you know, just everything you would want.
	And the price is highly competitive, and it comes with everything in the box that you'll need.
	It's just crazy.
	I love my—I've got a Terran tactical, thanks to Terran himself.
	I love my staccatos.
	But what Bull has done, and this is an Israeli company, is give you high quality at a kind of crazy good price, right, Tim?
	Mm-hmm.
	Yeah.
	So it's, you know, you have some of the imports coming in and out of the Philippines and stuff are less expensive, but the bull has staccato quality, I'll say, but it has a considerably lower price than staccato.
	And it comes with more features and more stuff in the box.
	And so if you're interested in the 2011, really, you got to take a look at the bulls if you can find one.
	They're insanely popular, as you've already noted.
	Yeah, yeah.
	Put the image of the bull EDC up on.
	This is the handgun, Eric.
	That one.
	Look at that.
	Very, very staccato-ish.
	That is the latest review from our friend, Military Arms Channel.
	We've got a couple of seconds left.
	Tim, if President Trump, my former boss, wins, he's been pretty explicit about his commitment to the Second Amendment, so that is clear.
	If the other person wins, not good, right?
	No, I mean, at multiple different levels.
	In the two-way community, they've all but promised to start banning and confiscating our property.
	And don't believe the lies when they go out there and say, look, we're gun people too, and then, you know, Walt shows up with a shotgun.
	He can't load or unload effectively.
	That's just, they're desperately in need of trying to find mail votes, and they're losing them, and they think by embracing the gun community they can do it, but don't believe the lies.
	They will take them away at the first opportunity.
	All right, stay safe, my friend.
	Check out the Bull Armory latest EDC, but most of all, the Military Arms channel.
	And follow our friend Tim at Mac underscore Arms.
	Oh, I might be talking about a weapon that I acquired through his shop very, very soon.
	A very unusual weapon, but we'll leave you in tenterhooks on that one.

	and not its threats that you see to the economy.
	One of the things that I love about the American people is we can hold many thoughts at once.
	And one of the highest priorities for the American people right now is bringing down costs, and that is the priority of my agenda and will be the priority of my work when I'm elected president of the United States.
	What did that question have to do with the answer, Jeff, about her giving a speech at the Ellipse?
	That's the best part.
	She still can't.
	I'm amazed by this.
	It's unbelievable.
	But you know what was the kind of real softball?
	Do you remember the last time somebody gave a speech at the Ellipse and what happened?
	Was that January 6th?
	Oh yeah, baby.
	Is it going to be a January 6th-style rally?
	Is she having a January 6th rally, Jeff?
	Is it a pre-insurrection?
	I think so.
	Ooh!
	Kamala, what are you planning?
	Alright, I found this yesterday.
	It's from somebody who apparently has a YouTube channel.
	Never heard of him before.
	Frank Zainu.
	And it's just fabulous.
	It's like, this takes on Kamala.
	Cut 18.
	The events that occurred on January 6th, we'll call them the Capitol event.
	Would you say that it was a demonstration in culture, or would you say that was a democratic demonstration?
	That is the first big lie Americans have ever been told in this country.
	Forget about Nixon.
	What do they call it?
	Insurrection.
	Insurrection, they call it.
	It's so sad and cruel for a country to label young people who did what is just normal and put this label on them for the rest of their lives.
	Go and play every footage Of the cameras that were there live that day, okay?
	The live ones that saw the thing happening.
	Not a single reporter referred to it as an insurrection.
	They said there is a riot at the Capitol.
	When do you think the word insurrection started?
	5 p.m.
	when they have taken the real back to the editorial room and they know who was in office and they're finding a way to demonize him, somebody whispered, we should start calling this an insurrection.
	Well, do you think that they only demonize him because they say that he lamented?
	He didn't lament anything.
	What I believe is what happened at the Capitol is what is supposed to happen anyway.
	So, if the citizens who elected these people, who pay for the building they live in and work in, are pissed off and they want their voice to be heard, they went to the right place.
	That was not an insurrection.
	An insurrection requires a hierarchy, an insignia, a name, a mission to call it an insurrection.
	Wasn't that great, Jeff?
	I mean, that was what, a minute?
	How long was that?
	A minute 20?
	Wasn't that amazing?
	It was pretty good, yeah.
	I found the guy's YouTube channel.
	Just a takedown of the January 6th narrative.
	Should we try and get him on?
	What do you think?
	I was thinking he might be pretty good.
	I think he might be pretty good.
	That's what we do here.
	We find interesting people who tell the truth and we get them on the show.
	And sometimes we make them co-hosts like the one and only Chris Coles!
	It's Friday!

	See the thing you people wouldn't believe.
	What?
	Talk to God.
	Let's go see him again.
	Will you please tell them to make it from this?
	I don't drink any other.
	And make absolutely sure that the water is really boiling.
	You understand?
	It's a little fad of mine.
	My dear father and mother, who I'm thankful to say are still alive and enjoying good health, invariably drink it.
	And so I followed their footsteps.
	Do you know a million Mexicans drink it?
	At least that's what it says on the packets.
	It's very kind of you to help me like this.
	I don't think we've introduced ourselves.
	My name's Iris Henderson.
	I'm going home to be married.
	Really?
	Oh, how very exciting.
	I do hope you'll be happy.
	Thank you.
	You'll have children, won't you?
	They make such a difference.
	I always think it's being with kiddies so much it's made me, if I may say so, young for my age.
	I'm a governess, you know.
	My name's...
	What?
	Can you say, Floyd?
	No, no, no, no, no.
	Floyd!
	May Whitty as Miss Froy, the governess, the central character in The Lady Vanishes, 1938, from Alfred Hitchcock, writing her name on the window of the dining car so Margaret Lockwood, Iris Henderson, can understand what her name is.
	A seminal moment that will prove that she's not going insane and that Mrs.
	Froy has been kidnapped.
	It is the last...
	Big movie of Hitchcock before he was released from his studio obligations and came to the United States.
	And it is our choice of our co-host here, making movies great again, the host of the superlative YouTube channel, Mr.
	Reagan USA, Chris Coles.
	An unusual choice for us this week.
	Why did you choose The Lady Vanishes?
	Well, I'll tell you what, this is hands down my absolute favorite Hitchcock film ever.
	A lot of people love North by Northwest.
	A lot of people love Vertigo, Rear Window.
	There's plenty of great films to choose from, but I absolutely love this film.
	And I suppose it's primarily because it does have that O'Henry-like twist.
	It has that Twilight Zone-esque type story.
	And I was really raised on Twilight Zone.
	That was one of the...
	Programs that really developed my ability to write great fiction and write beautiful endings.
	That's something I feel is really missing in cinema today.
	You just don't get great endings anymore.
	I don't know what happened, but at some point after the 1990s, writers stopped, like they forgot how to write or something like that.
	And we just have these kind of bland, boring films these days.
	But this film...
	I don't know.
	It was really spectacular in so many ways.
	But for me, it's the story.
	That story really works.
	I've seen this done many, many times where you have a character that just disappears or you have a character that thinks they're going crazy because circumstances seem to have changed in such a way that they don't understand what's going on.
	And usually what the reveal is within the story is a letdown.
	It's disappointing.
	There's plenty of films that I can mention that have this kind of problem where the setup is brilliant, but there's no good payoff.
	With this film, I was actually shocked, the first time I ever saw this, that they actually pay off the mystery very, very well.
	And of course, this was Hitchcock's first really, really successful film.
	And as you said, it sort of opened the doors for him to come to Hollywood.
	Yeah, it's interesting what you say because I can't believe I'm going to say this in front of all of my listeners and viewers.
	Because I am a movie buff.
	You know, that's the reason we do this every week because it's an excuse for me to pretend I'm working by watching great movies and discussing them with my good friend Chris.
	I've never been a huge fan of Hitchcock.
	I never really got it.
	I mean, they're well made.
	If you look at Psycho, the visuals, you look at the concepts behind something like The Birds or Vertigo and etc., But they never really gripped me.
	I mean, yes, he recognizes this great, great director, a very peculiar individual, if you look at his obsession with blonde women like Tippi Hedren and Grace Kelly, a rather unusual chap.
	But this, of all his movies, I think is the most enjoyable.
	I mean, for me, this is a fun film, and I'm fascinated by it because I know you're a huge fan of The Twilight Zone, and I think somehow...
	We have to show deference and respect to The Twilight Zone.
	They're not movies.
	They made, you know, a not very good movie out of them.
	But sometime we'll have to discuss The Twilight Zone and Rod Serling.
	What is it about this that is Twilight Zone-ish?
	Is it...
	Because I'd never thought of it like that.
	It's kind of like a mystery on a train, which I love already.
	You know, the Orient Express kind of thing.
	But here, is it the gaslighting of Iris...
	Is it that she thinks that she's going crazy?
	Because that's an interesting connection to make, Chris.
	Yeah, absolutely.
	And of course, Alfred Hitchcock made an entire show called Alfred Hitchcock Presents, which definitely brought him to a really broad audience, brought his image to a really broad audience.
	And a lot of those episodes of that show also had really brilliant twists in these ideas.
	With this particular film...
	Yeah, you know, there is this, I think it's the setup.
	The setup to me is the thing that is really Twilight Zone-esque, where Alfred Hitchcock presents like, which is this idea that this woman is essentially being gaslighted into believing that she's gone crazy.
	She has this friend, this old woman, who she met just before boarding the train, or the night before, I suppose, in the hotel.
	And they actually do spend quite a long time introducing the characters.
	I mean, a really unusual amount of time introducing the characters.
	And the entire film is very funny.
	So the whole time you're being introduced to these characters, you're laughing and you're having a good time and you're really enjoying yourself.
	And then suddenly this old woman vanishes.
	This woman, this younger woman, Margaret Lockwood, I believe her name is, she falls asleep.
	She wakes up and her friend is gone.
	The old woman's gone.
	So she goes to look for her, can't find her.
	But the really crazy thing is everyone she asks, have you seen this woman?
	Says, there was never any such woman.
	Even the bumptious comedy duo who was spun off into a whole series of movies and TV shows, even the innocent, cricket-obsessed, what is it, it's Caldecott and Charters, even they, for a very different reason, say, oh no, yeah, we passed you the sugar, but we didn't see whose face we were passing the sugar to.
	So everyone on the train is saying, there was no Miss Froy.
	Yeah, and what's interesting is many subsequent works that have copied this formula, they've set it up to where even the audience isn't quite sure if the protagonist is going insane or not.
	Now, we know that Miss Freud exists, right?
	We saw her in multiple scenes.
	From the beginning of the film to the moment she disappears.
	So we know that the main character is not going insane.
	The concern is that maybe she'll buy it.
	Maybe she will be gaslit so strongly that very much like a Kamala Harris voter, she will actually believe the nonsense that people are telling her.
	So we're worried about her.
	And it is not until that very moment that she sees Freud written on that window...
	That Miss Froy actually wrote into the window, into the dust in the window there.
	Do we finally think, okay, well this woman has realized she's not going insane.
	She is on the right track and she hopefully will find Miss Froy, whatever happened to her.
	And I think the big twist, the thing that I believe puts it in that category of like a Twilight Zone-esque type episode is what is Miss Froy?
	I would never have suspected when I first saw the The film, I would never have suspected that Ms.
	Froy, and this is a bit of a spoiler, is a British spy.
	She's not James Bond.
	She's a little old lady.
	But she's a British spy, and she's being kidnapped because she's been recognized as such, and they're going to take her away and presumably torture her, get information out of her, and then execute her.
	And this young woman essentially has to save her And it's such a great twist.
	I just wasn't expecting Miss Freud to be a spy.
	Well, it's interesting because in the original book, that this is based upon the wheel, Spins by Ethel White, which was a massively successful book, she's just an innocent.
	She's just naive.
	She has nothing to do with spying.
	It's a mistake.
	And then they added this.
	The script writers added this twist into it.
	I was wondering as I was watching this movie yesterday, how on earth my friend would twist its message into the modern age?
	And he's already succeeded.
	We're only a few minutes in to the lady vanishes.
	There are other aspects to this movie we will continue to discuss here on America First.

	Come in with Rhapsody, please.
	I suppose we'd have to wait here.
	If only we hadn't missed that train at Budapest.
	Well, Carl, I don't want to rub it in.
	If you hadn't insisted on standing up until they'd finished their national anthem...
	Yes, but you must show respect, Carl Lickert.
	Of course, if I'd known, it's going to last 20 minutes.
	Well, it's always been my contention that the Hungarian Rhapsody is not their national anthem.
	In any case, we were the only two standing.
	That's true.
	No, the Hungarian Rhapsody is not the national anthem of Hungary.
	There is another connection to Hungary in this movie, one that I detected very, very early on.
	That is, of course, the comedy duo of Caldecott and Charters, who are obsessed with something.
	What is it?
	Let's have a listen.
	It's a very strange game called Cricket.
	Go on, risk it.
	Hello.
	Hello, you.
	You're in London.
	No, no, no, I'm not Mr.
	Seltzer.
	Name's Charters.
	I don't suppose you know me.
	Well, you needn't worry.
	They're just gonna fetch him.
	Tell me, what's happening to England?
	Blowing a gale?
	No, you don't follow me, sir.
	I'm inquiring about the test match in Manchester.
	Cricket, sir!
	Cricket!
	What, you don't know?
	You can't be in England and not know the test score.
	Phyllis doesn't know.
	Oh, silly ass.
	Hello, can't you find out?
	Oh, nonsense.
	It won't take a second.
	Oh, all right.
	If you won't, you won't.
	How on earth can they not know how the test scores are developing for the cricket match?
	It's funny, Chris, as I looked into the background to this movie, Hitchcock wanted to film it overseas.
	He wanted to film it in the run-up to World War II in Yugoslavia, and they actually went out there.
	They were scouting, getting ready, and the Yugoslav authorities kicked them out of the country because in that version of the script, the Yugoslav police would have been made to look bad.
	As a result, they invented the nation of Bandrica.
	I love this.
	All the fake language.
	You can tell the actors are literally, who are supposed to be playing the Bandricans, they're just making up gobbledygook.
	A little bit of French here, a little bit of Italian, some made-up words, and we're supposed to believe that this is a nation on the brink of war in Central Europe, Chris.
	A lot of this film is just, it's not a thriller.
	It's comedy.
	It's slapstick.
	Oh, absolutely.
	And these two characters that you've just mentioned, the cricket-obsessed characters, Charters and Caldecott, I believe the names are, they are hilarious, and they're brilliant, and they're so much fun, and they add some lightness to the story.
	And they really weave in the comedy really, really well.
	There's periods of time when you're watching the film, and it is very serious.
	And there's other times when it's really, really funny.
	And the whole film is just a joy to watch.
	I'm really not sure how Hitchcock did this because I don't think at the time this was common to interject this suspense, action, comedy, romance, all this kind of stuff together.
	Incidentally, my favorite line is probably by the Caldecott character who gets his hands on a gun.
	He's trying to convince this woman to give him a gun.
	And he says to her in the most British way you could imagine, he says...
	I once won a box of cigars.
	He's like, no, no, trust me, I'm an excellent shuck.
	There's just a million lines like that, and the main two characters as well.
	The banter is epic.
	I mean, it's truly up there with the best films of all time, the cleverness of the dialogue.
	This film is quite shocking.
	In how good it is in terms of the script.
	And I know at the time, I think that theater was actually considered more prestigious than film.
	And they drew some of the actors from the theater.
	And they brought them in here.
	So it was a lot of the people in this, working on this film, I think were probably the best in England.
	And it really shows.
	I mean, Hitchcock really put a lot of effort into this one.
	And like you said, to me, this is the best one.
	I'm also not a huge fan of Hitchcock.
	I hate to say that.
	There are Hedgecock films that I love.
	I do love Psycho.
	I think it's a brilliant film.
	But this film, The Lady Vanishes, I think is absolutely his best ever.
	It's interesting what you say.
	It's absolutely true.
	The lead hero, Gilbert, this very irreverent, cheeky musician who becomes like the hero who saves Iris from believing she's been gaslit...
	This guy was a theatre actor.
	This is the first movie he ever acted in.
	He didn't want to appear in this Hitchcock movie, and it took John Gielgud, one of the most famous after Lawrence Olivier, and his friend John Gielgud said, yeah, you should take this part.
	And he became a star overnight.
	This was the highest grossing British movie of the year.
	And then his family, his daughters, his family became, you know, this legendary tribe of British theater and movies.
	So you're absolutely right.
	But at the same time, it's very deftly done, isn't it?
	Because there's a moment, and we'll play a little bit later, or let's talk about the storage wagon where they're looking for her.
	amongst all the magician's accoutrements, And it becomes slapstick.
	You know, she's in that basket, turns out to be a goat.
	Then they have the magician's cabinet in which they get lost.
	It would have been very easy, wouldn't it?
	To lose any semblance of this being a serious story with a kind of thriller core to it if they'd overdone the comedy.
	But maybe Hitchcock should have done more of this, more of this balancing act.
	Oh, absolutely.
	Throughout the rest of his films, I think this would have really helped them, at least in my mind, because I like a little comedy peppered in.
	Yeah, the slapstick bit probably could have been taken out of the film and the film would have been the same, more or less.
	However, in my view, that slapstick stuff, it sort of added to the romance.
	Because in real life, if you're falling for a girl or a girl's falling for you, often there's a kind of moment where you look silly or she looks silly.
	And you kind of accept each other anyway, and you just kind of go along with it.
	You know, people who are in long-term relationships, they go through some stuff together, right?
	And these two have obviously gone through a lot together.
	But it's not always just difficult times.
	Sometimes it's just a bit of fun.
	And I think that this really establishes them as a couple.
	Which is, you know, throughout the film, I think, at least female, you know, women in the audience will want them to get together.
	And it does happen at the end.
	Despite the fact that Iris is traveling back to England to get married, right?
	And he doesn't know that.
	Gilbert doesn't know that until they sit down for tea and she tells him and he goes, oh.
	Oh, that's a shame, because clearly he had his eye on her, but we will reveal not just the end of the movie regarding the thriller plot, but also what happens to Iris and Gilbert at the end at Victoria Station, and who makes a surprise appearance walking down the platform at Victoria Station, because he always does, because he can't resist it.

	What is the name of the country?
	A bandrican bed and breakfast before they get on the train the next day.
	And Gilbert's a little bit annoyed because he's been pushed out of his room and Iris is taking it over.
	So what does he do?
	Well, he just tries to take over the bathroom.
	An eye for an eye and a tooth for a toothbrush.
	I suppose you realise you're behaving like a complete can.
	On the contrary, you're perfectly at liberty to sleep in the corridor if you want to.
	Hello?
	Oh, I shouldn't if I were you.
	I'd only tell everyone you invited me here.
	And when I say everyone, I mean everyone.
	I have a powerful voice.
	Come out of there at once!
	Not until you bribed the manager to restore me to my attic.
	Come out of that bathroom!
	It's an unusual character, isn't it?
	Because, you know, he does save the day.
	He believes Iris.
	He sees Miss Froy's name written on the window.
	But he's not your classic leading actor.
	He's not particularly handsome.
	And for the first 20 minutes, he is a bit of a cat, right?
	He goes into her bathroom, says, I'm going to blackmail everyone, say, you let me into your bedroom unless you give me my room back.
	But then the frisson turns into something more attractive, more romantic.
	What do you think of Gilbert's art, Chris?
	Yeah, now this guy is a weird character because essentially he's two different characters.
	The first part of the film, he's a bit of a jerk.
	You know, you don't really like him.
	He's almost an antagonist to the female lead.
	And then, you know, once she's on the train...
	You realize he's actually a fairly sympathetic guy, and he's willing to kind of help her out, and the two fall in love with each other, of course.
	But this is kind of how real life is sometimes, actually.
	I think I'm a little bit like this, if I'm honest.
	I'll make jokes that are a little bit offensive, or I'll upset some people and whatnot.
	But At my core, I think I'm a fairly decent guy.
	And when people get to know me, they realize that.
	Are you hiding something, Chris Coles?
	Is that a defensive tactic to be a little bit roguish and caddish?
	Absolutely it is.
	Yeah, because you want to keep people at arm's length, don't you?
	Until you get to know them.
	You don't really want to get to know most people.
	As I like to say, most people are overrated.
	Yeah, I think that's right.
	Yeah, that's right.
	You know, I mean, at the end of the day, most people have something interesting about them that you'd like to know about, but you probably don't want to be friends with them.
	And he's kind of the same way.
	You know, he's just kind of doing his own thing.
	And not until there's actually something serious going on does he become this hero.
	And, you know, it's interesting, actually, I would say that the world is no longer governed by rules.
	People kind of just do what they want.
	And it makes the world a lot more boring.
	Back then, he could kind of blackmail her by saying, I'll tell everybody you invited me into the room.
	And this is a serious threat because she doesn't want a reputation ruined.
	Today, she would just be like, oh, yeah, who cares?
	So there's all these social, I don't know, social rules that allow the film to work in the way it does.
	And you kind of understand it, even though even today, we don't have those rules necessarily.
	You can look back and can understand, yes, this was a different time.
	They have different constraints in society.
	And you get it.
	You get it while watching the film.
	You get the jokes and all these things.
	And I think it just makes for a more entertaining life, a more interesting life.
	Now that we have no rules, I think...
	Life is a bit a land in a way.
	That's okay.
	I think we're going I think this is important.
	This isn't a tangent.
	What you just said is very important that without rules life is boring and it reminds me of that moment where a blessed Saint John Paul II went back to Poland as Pope.
	The communist regime was petrified of what would happen.
	He had more than a million Catholics listen to him at one of his masses and he said publicly freedom Is not the freedom to buy Playboy.
	And he explained that freedom, the true essence of freedom, is the freedom to do what is right.
	That's what makes you a man.
	That's what makes you a believer.
	That's what makes you a Christian.
	You have the choice of doing whatever you want because modern world will tell you there are no rules and true freedom is knowing what is right and doing what is right.
	I didn't think we'd go there with The Lady Vanishes, 1938, Alfred Hitchcock.
	But that's what happens when you do this with Chris Coles.
	I'm Sebastian Gorka.

	Alright, come in with...
	No English Lady.
	Have you seen my friend?
	No.
	My friend, where is she?
	La Signora Inglese.
	The English Lady, where is she?
	There has been no English Lady here.
	What?
	There has been no English lady here.
	There has.
	She sat there in the corner.
	You saw her.
	You spoke to her.
	She sat next to you.
	But it's ridiculous.
	She took me to the dining car and came back here with me.
	You went and came back alone.
	No English lady here.
	And then finally she will go crazy and scream and try to stop the train.
	That's next here on The Lady Vanishes 1938, Alfred Hitchcock.
	But first, I want to say welcome to our newest supporter here, the incredible people at the Tunnel to Towers Foundation, created after 9-11 to support the families who lost loved ones on that horrific day in New York, in Pennsylvania, in Washington, D.C.
	They still support first responder families, law enforcement families, and now our warfighters, those who've given so much.
	The families of those who've lost loved ones on duty and those who've come back catastrophically wounded, who need help with custom homes to make their lives a little bit easier, given their handicaps.
	Not only are they provided these customized homes, it is utterly, completely mortgage-free.
	Please support this incredible foundation, t2t.org.
	That's the Tunnel to Towers, just $11 a month to help those who've given so much to us.
	That's the letter T, the number two, the letter T, dot O-R-G.
	Please be generous.
	She thinks she's going insane.
	And she loses it.
	No, no, we've got to find her.
	Something's happening to her.
	Stop the train!
	Listen, everybody, there's a woman on this train, Miss Froy.
	Some of you must have seen her.
	They're hiding her somewhere.
	I appeal to you, all of you, to stop the train.
	Please help me.
	Please make me stop the train.
	Do you hear?
	Why don't you do something before it's too late?
	Please, please.
	I know you think I'm crazy, but I'm not.
	I'm not!
	For heaven's sake, stop this train!
	Leave me alone!
	Leave me alone!
	The train is stopped and it continues investigating.
	Investigations, the attempt to locate Miss Froy, and then we realize who the real villains are, including Dr.
	Hartz, played by Paul Lukács, a real Hungarian.
	You can tell by the accent.
	Chris, this isn't an overly complicated movie.
	Somebody vanishes.
	The person who says they vanish thinks they're going insane.
	The only real twist here...
	Is the fact, as you said earlier, and it's really a comment on what a little device can make such a difference, that the spy is this spinster, this elderly spinster, who's a governess.
	Talk to us about the art of screenwriting and movie magic, that one good idea can really make a movie, correct?
	Oh, absolutely.
	Absolutely.
	It's what they call high concept, right?
	A high concept project.
	This idea, this woman vanishes.
	How do you find her?
	Now, this could very easily have been a disappointment.
	Like I said, so many films and television series that have this concept of some strange thing happens where it seems, you know, they have this, I forgot what they call it, the Mandela effect.
	Right?
	Where everybody remembers something that happened that didn't happen, or they remember it wrong.
	And that's kind of what we're dealing with here, this idea of the Mandela Effect, where she remembers something so strongly, but it didn't really happen that way, or people are telling her it didn't happen that way.
	That in itself is the high concept.
	And like I said, it could very easily just be the concept alone, and then it doesn't have a very satisfying reveal.
	It doesn't have a very satisfying explanation.
	But I really felt like the explanation to me was thrilling.
	It was fantastic.
	And the way it resolves at the very end of the film, which we won't get into just yet, also really beautiful.
	You know, everybody sort of...
	It's a happy ending.
	And in the 90s, you had a lot of twist-ending type shows, type films...
	But oftentimes the endings were dark because there was this nihilism in the 1990s.
	They didn't like happy endings.
	People thought that was a little too saccharine.
	But in this film, I think they've done it really well.
	It's kind of similar when you're talking about the slapstick aspect.
	The fact that a lot of these characters are English, they're from England, I think does help it a little bit, at least for an American audience, because there's a sense of propriety going on pretty much throughout the film.
	And something like slapstick is kind of counterbalanced by that.
	But yeah, if you want to create a great twist, here's what I have to say about it.
	First of all, you have to understand the rules of the world that you've created.
	So you have to figure out the parameters of the story that you've created.
	Typically, the ending will reveal itself if you just think through what are the obvious endings, and then you go, okay, well, we can't end it in an obvious way.
	What is another way that it could end logically that would make sense And that would also be very satisfying.
	And the ending will eventually come to you if you think of it long enough.
	Now for me, I don't start to write a script unless I have the ending figured out.
	Not all writers do that.
	Interesting.
	But to me, that's absolutely critical because then you have something to write to.
	And are you one of these very methodical people that has like these decision trees and these forks?
	Or is it enough to have the ending and then just work up to the ending?
	No, the decision trees, the forks that you're talking about, that happens all in my head.
	I would never do that on paper.
	That would be too time consuming and boring to me.
	No, I sit there and I think, I create the concept and then I think, okay, now how would this have to end?
	How does it have to end?
	And in my mind, there are certain ways that a story has to end because it's just logical.
	To me, a good ending has to follow reason and logic, and the audience has to be able to follow it.
	If the audience can't follow it, or if the audience says, oh, that doesn't really make sense, then it's not effective.
	It's never going to be effective if the audience doesn't buy it.
	So there's only a certain set number of endings that are possible, and you've got to figure out the one that the audience is least going to expect.
	And they're going to be the most satisfied by.
	And that if you want to write a twist ending, that's the way you do it, I think.
	It is The Lady Vanishes, 1938, made into numerous TV movies, several remakes, one with Sybil Shepard.
	That isn't bad.
	And Elliot Gould.
	We are making movies great again.

	Come in with Sherlock.
	My theory, my dear Watson, is that we are in very deep waters indeed.
	Ahem.
	Oh, thank you very much.
	Let us marshal our facts over a pipe full of bacon-shaped shag.
	In the first place, a little old lady disappears.
	Everyone that saw her promptly insists that she was never there at all.
	Right?
	Right.
	We know that she was.
	Therefore, they did see her.
	Therefore, they are deliberately lying.
	Why?
	I don't know.
	I'm only Watson.
	Well, don't bury yourself at the bottom.
	I'll tell you why.
	Because they don't face an inquiry, because Miss Froy is probably still somewhere on this trail.
	I told you that hours ago.
	Oh, yes, I did.
	For that, my dear Watson, you should have a Trichonopoly cigar.
	A little bit of comedy, parodying Holmes and Watson.
	He finally believes her.
	He convinces the other passengers, and then there's a shootout with the dastardly Bandarika authorities.
	The train is separated from the rest of the engine, but they make it back free to the UK, and they have to deliver.
	The tune, the musical tune in which the secret details of the covert treaty are to be found.
	And there's a reunion in the Foreign Office with Miss Froy.
	But before we get there, Chris, did you notice somebody on the platform in Victoria?
	I saw it the first time I watched, but I think I looked away at this point.
	If you blink, you miss it.
	Hitchcock loved to cameo in all of his movies, and here he is.
	He does this very strange head bobble walking down the platform for about two and a half seconds smoking a cigarette.
	So he is, of course, in The Lady Vanishes.
	Final thoughts.
	As I said, this was the greatest grossing movie of the year.
	It was voted in 1938...
	By the New York Times alone as the best movie of the year.
	So a classic.
	A classic.
	But would a modern audience enjoy it?
	Let's rate it out of...
	What do you think?
	There isn't one in the movie, but shouldn't the metric of measurement be the cricket bat, Chris?
	Okay, that's fair.
	That's fair.
	Those two characters were in many more movies after this.
	this was their cinema debut.
	And then, of course, they were in many other movies after that, this comedy duo, because they were so popular in this film.
	Let me just say that the shootout was quite a surprise to me.
	I didn't expect such an action sequence in the film.
	I thought it was going to end.
	And then there was a shootout the first time I saw it.
	And I thought, does this could this film get any better?
	It just keeps I just I was just shocked.
	I was just like, man, now they've got a shootout and everything.
	And then the brilliance of the tune that was supposed to be the code.
	I just love every bit of this film.
	One thing I have to pick you up on, you said that Hitchcock was weird because he had a thing for beautiful blonde women.
	I don't quite understand where you're going with that, Seb.
	That's normal human male...
	Perception of reality, I thought.
	Yes, it is.
	If it's just blonde women, that's not a problem.
	But they all had to look exactly the same.
	It was like the Stepford wives.
	I mean, it's like...
	And I'm not casting aspersions here.
	I mean, he's admitted it.
	Clint Eastwood, every one of his girlfriends and wives looks like a carbon copy.
	I mean, blonde women, yes, but they all don't have to look like Tippi Hedren, okay?
	I mean...
	Blonde women as a generous, as a family of type, absolutely, but obsessing on one facial type, that's a little bit weird.
	With regards to the shootout, did you notice, this is the funniest thing for me, when one of the two comedy duos, it's the actor Basil Radford, when Basil Radford comes out...
	He gets a handgun and starts shooting.
	He gets hit by the police.
	Yeah.
	And then he doesn't react.
	Literally, his face doesn't change.
	He doesn't even go, owie, and he walks back into the carriage like British cricket fans are made of granite or something.
	It was quite unusual.
	Yeah, no, that's very much, I think that was a joke about just being super British and keeping a stiff upper lip, right?
	He just kind of glances down at his hand like, huh.
	I've been shot.
	And then walks back into the game.
	It was great, great.
	Look, let me rate this out of cricket bats.
	For a modern audience.
	For a modern audience.
	For a modern audience, I cannot conceive of any human, male or female, black or white, young or old, not absolutely loving this film.
	This is a 10 out of 10 cricket bats, 100%.
	Wow.
	Wow.
	Ten out of ten cricket bats for a modern audience.
	Gosh, you've really challenged me here.
	In the galaxy of all good movies, I was going to give it an eight and three quarters, but given that Sterling recommendation, I'm going to have to go the whole hog to a nine.
	I think we're going to give a 19 out of 20 to The Lady Vanishes.
	Okie dokie.
	I like it.
	All right.
	For next week...
	We're going to actually have you do what I love you do the most, which is politics.
	We're going to talk about the impending election, which is, what is it?
	11 days away.
	That's insane.
	Which means we'll be four days away.
	So next up, we're going to talk to Chris about the real world, not the worlds we would like to live in through the movies.
	But...
	Just in case we can prepare for our next meeting, I still get to keep my choice.
	This choice of movie comes from our friend Rich Miniter, who has chosen another classic that I hope he can join us for the review.
	Gotta love Errol Flynn.
	We're staying in the black and white era.
	It is Captain Blood.
	What do you think, Chris?
	Fantastic.
	Oh, I can't wait to see it!
	I mean, come on.
	I believe I have actually seen this one.
	Basil Rathbone, Olivia de Havilland, Errol Flynn, an absolute true classic.
	All right, that's for two weeks from today.
	By the way, quickly, I'm going to interrupt you.
	Everybody does need to watch Newsmax this Sunday.
	Why?
	What's happening on Sunday?
	Because I'm on there, and we had a lot of fun recording that, so I want everybody to see it.
	All right.
	He just gave away the fact that I recorded that segment.
	Thank you for the peek behind the curtains.
	Sorry.
	That's all right.
	But we had fun because we had to talk about what?
	The significance of the MAGA McDonald's moment.
	It could be a clincher.
	I don't know.
	But we enjoyed it.
	It's going to be right after the President's Rally, Sunday night, 10 p.m.
	Eastern.
	Be there or be uninformed.
	You've been listening to Making Movies Great Again.
	Wherever you are, whatever you're doing, keep your head in a swivel.
	Watch your six.
	Hold the line.
	Never give up.
	Never give in.
