	Thank you.
	Thank you.
	Well, first of all, if anyone wants to help us get the hell out of the way, if we're going If I got sent twice the amount of resources to that city, that's what we're going to do.
	If they were to give us access to the jail, that would mean less agents in the community.
	For them pushing back and not letting us in the jail, it just means more agents are going to be in the community, so they're hurting themselves.
	Finally, I'll say this.
	They need to educate themselves.
	They need to review this.
	Title 8, United States Code 1324, triple I. Read about that and don't cross that line because it is a felony to harbor and conceal an illegal alien from mice.
	Read the statute, don't cross that line.
	Subsection 12, paragraph double I. Did you read the statutes?
	Tom Homan reading the Right Act to every Democrat, mayor, governor, official, elected or otherwise, who says, yeah, we're just going to harbor illegals.
	Well, that's a felony!
	You can't harbor illegals unless you want to go to prison as well.
	Welcome, dear friends.
	I'm Sebastian Gawker.
	This is America First.
	You know what?
	I just love this.
	You can't turn...
	Tom Homan is coming out of the faucet.
	You open a faucet.
	He's on Fox.
	He's on Newsmax.
	He just...
	He's out there.
	Other nominees, you know, not going out in the media.
	Jeff, isn't it delightful?
	Doesn't it tell you about Tom Homan that everybody else who's been nominated, not in the media, just behind the scenes, in transition, doing work for the boss...
	Tom Homan is already out there.
	I think it's done on purpose, too.
	To stop the flow coming across the border right now.
	Yes.
	Bingo.
	Oh my gosh.
	That's why he's the best producer, executive or otherwise, in radio.
	That wasn't just Fox.
	It's Newsmax as well.
	Here is Tom Homan.
	Cut 18.
	Defending our residents every possible way?
	Well, she's not very smart.
	I'll give her that.
	Because what I just said is President Trump's going to prioritize public safety threats.
	What mayor or governor doesn't want public safety threats out of their communities?
	I mean, that's her number one responsibility to protect her communities.
	And that's exactly what we're going to do.
	So she helps us.
	She gets the hell out of the way.
	Because we're going to do it.
	And look, there's a clear line here.
	And they can't cross a clear line.
	I would suggest she read Title 8, United States Code 1324, Triple I. Who's he talking about?
	He's talking about the mayor of Boston, Mayor Wu, who, well, I guess she doesn't understand that something happened in America just 15 days ago.
	Cut 9.
	What will Boston's response be if these mass deportations take place?
	Yeah, look, elections have consequences and the federal government is responsible for a certain set of actions and cities, no individual city can reverse or override some parts of that, but what we can do is make sure that we are doing our part to protect our residents in every possible way, that we are not cooperating with those efforts that the Actually threaten the safety of everyone by causing widespread fear and having large-scale economic impact.
	Did I just get the math wrong?
	I'm frequently frightened of getting the math wrong.
	How many days has it been since we re-elected President Trump, Eric?
	It has been 14 days.
	That is two weeks.
	Does anybody believe that?
	It feels like a month ago.
	Alex, I need my diplomatic agent here.
	Is it possibly only two weeks ago?
	I believe so, Dr.
	G. That is just freaky.
	Jeff, what does she mean by saying that we have to protect our residents?
	Who is it?
	Residents?
	That's a strange choice of word, isn't it?
	And she also said the other talking point now is the economic impact it's going to have.
	The economic impact?
	What?
	That they're not sending money back to Mexico?
	And the money's going to stay here, meaning it's going to be better for us?
	No, it's going to be bad.
	Prices are going to go up and everything.
	I think they forgot that people were done listening to Democrats for economic advice.
	You're right.
	CNN, who is this person, Matt Egan, saying that things are going to get more expensive?
	Yeah, unbelievable.
	Cart 8, play cart.
	CNN's Matt Egan.
	You see him there.
	Matt, what happened...
	To food, to farming, agriculture, if there are mass deportations when a lot of these businesses use undocumented immigrants.
	Yeah, Dana, listen, food would get more expensive, possibly a lot more expensive, and that would directly undercut another Trump campaign proposal, promise rather, which is to get inflation under control.
	Jeff, you used to work in the real world, actually make stuff and make money.
	How does getting rid of 20 million illegals make food more expensive?
	I have no idea.
	But he is, if you look at his bio, he's a typical business reporter for CNN. He's never once spent a day working a business in his life.
	All he has done is written about it.
	Let me just do a little bit of a fact check.
	What is the most expensive thing anybody ever owns, Jeff?
	That would be a house.
	Okay.
	What happens to the price of a house when there are 20 million illegals who arrive in the country?
	It goes up, especially when you have government that is paying for them to be in those houses.
	Okay, so if they get kicked out of the country, what happens to the price of houses?
	It goes down and so does rents, which is a big thing too.
	Okay, we're having fun here.
	We're telling the truth.
	If 20 million people leave the country, then maybe our children can afford to buy a house, to begin the ladder of a mortgage, an investment in the most expensive thing you own.
	But to Jeff's last point...
	Now, this is a long cut, and half of it's in Spanish, but everyone listening needs to hear this across the nation.
	Here's 72 seconds of the trial of Jose Ibarra, the illegal immigrant let into America by Kamala Harris, who brutally raped and then murdered 22-year-old Laken Riley in Atlanta.
	Listen to his story.
	This is a man who Kamala Harris let into America.
	And let's talk about the economics of murder.
	Cut 16.
	Anyone else that you got to know, that you lived with while you were here in Athens?
	Yan Carlos Hernandez.
	And how did you get to Athens?
	In New York, we asked, in Manhattan, and Hotel Roofing, Roosevelt.
	In Manhattan, we requested for a humanitarian flight to come here to Atlanta.
	And when was that?
	Around the 9th, 10th of September.
	And where did you go when you arrived in Athens?
	Where did you go?
	To the airport, airport.
	Airport.
	Jackson, Jackson airport.
	Did you hear what was said there?
	The murderer of Lake and Riley, who was living in the beautiful, the historic Roosevelt Hotel in New York, which is now fully occupied by illegals, was asked, where would you like to go?
	And he was given a plane ticket to Atlanta that you paid for.
	When he arrived at Atlanta, you can watch the CCTV coverage from the court case.
	He went on a predatory hunt.
	To find a woman he could rape and murder.
	I hope Tom Homan deploys with the 82nd Airborne to every sanctuary city in America, and if the mayor gets in the way, they will be arrested for harboring illegals, because that's what America voted for.
	This is America First.

	The End
	I stand with Rudy Giuliani because he changed public opinion about President Trump during the first impeachment.
	Most people believed the fake media until Rudy got involved.
	I stand with Rudy because he's the man who took down a whole mafia syndicate.
	I stand with Rudy Giuliani because he stood up for the poll workers and others who witnessed fraud in the 2020 election at great personal sacrifice.
	I stand with Rudy because he's a beloved national hero who could never be bought and who never compromised his values.
	I stand with Rudy because he supported three presidents to keep America safe.
	I stand with Rudy Giuliani because he helped American citizens by exposing the Biden crime family at great peril and retaliation from the justice system.
	And I stand with Rudy because he is my friend, because he is a patriot, and because he is America's mayor.
	Thank you, guys.
	Mike's back off, Alex.
	Thank you.
	But when she mentions about Israel, all of a sudden, she hates Israel.
	She wouldn't even meet with Netanyahu when he went to Congress to make a very important speech.
	She refused to be there because she was at a sorority party of hers.
	She wanted to go to the sorority party.
	She hates Israel.
	If she's president, I believe that Israel will not exist within two years from now.
	And I've been pretty good at predictions, and I hope I'm wrong about that one.
	She hates Israel.
	President Trump, at the only presidential debate we got to listen to, talking the truth about Kamala Harris, the anti-Semitic Biden regime that she serves, and also the truth about, as far as I'm concerned, it's an empirical statement, he was the most philo-Semitic president since the rebirth of Israel in 1948.
	We'll discover what is going on in our friends in that region with Israel momentarily.
	But first things first, be a part of the solution, not part of the problem.
	If your cell phone is connected to one of the big cell phone providers, you are actually funding those who hate you and your values.

	It's the one I use.
	When Nancy Pelosi's illegal January the 6th committee came after my phone data, my wife's and my children's, and my cell phone provider surrendered, I said, that's it.
	And I switched to the only conservative company out there It's as easy as calling 972 Patriot.

	Caroline Glick, how is the mood in Israel in the last 14 days?
	Well, it goes from the height of euphoria when we think about what awaits us on January 20th to a lot of anxiety when we think about what we're facing until January 20th because they're really pulling out all the stoppers to try to make America hostile forever by sort of, you know...
	Tell us the latest thing about the sanctions, this insanity of the lame duck Biden administration.
	For those who aren't familiar, what are they doing now in this last 60 days?
	So, in February of this year, President Biden put out an executive order laying the groundwork for sanctioning Israeli citizens and entities who have broken no laws, either in the United States or in Israel, committed, you know, have not been arrested, have not been indicted for breaking laws.
	But our advancing policies that, from the United States' perspective, are not in sync with the Biden administration's desire to establish a Palestinian state or to prevent Israel from overthrowing the Hamas regime in Gaza.
	So they've been...
	They've been violating the freedom of speech of Israeli citizens and American citizens.
	There's a protest movement against humanitarian aid convoys to Gaza, blocking them from entering into Gaza because all of the aid was going to Hamas, so it was trying to block resupply of Hamas under the headline of humanitarian aid.
	They sanctioned that organization.
	Let's unpack this, because this is hard for me to believe.
	So there's an Israeli organization that's trying to block the quote-unquote aid, which is in fact going to Hamas in Gaza.
	That organization that was trying to prevent terrorists profiting from that convoy, that's one of the organizations that the Biden administration is sanctioning?
	Yeah, and their heads, and the immediate family members of all of the heads of this organization, including American citizens.
	They're going after Israeli ranchers who are protecting their lands from Palestinian encroachment.
	They call them violent settlers.
	They're not accused of any violence under Israeli law.
	They haven't been investigated for any crime, so they're debanked.
	In the entire international banking system, and since Israel is part of the SWIFT network, Israeli banks can't provide them with services.
	Israeli citizens are being debanked by this administration because they simply live there.
	Because they don't like their politics.
	And there are more Israelis under U.S. sanctions since February.
	Another four were just placed under sanctions yesterday than there are North Koreans.
	Okay, I'm going to repeat that in front of 3.5 million people.
	There are more Israeli citizens under U.S. sanction than there are North Korean citizens under U.S. sanctions.
	Right, and they want to sanction two government ministers in Israel.
	And why?
	Because they oppose the establishment of a Palestinian state, which is something that over 80% of Israelis also oppose since October 7th.
	By advancing the policies that were elected to advance, the Biden administration wants to place U.S. sanctions on our finance minister and our public security minister, which is amazing.
	They're not doing it, but they could.
	They've been threatening it for a while, and they just got a letter from 90 Democratic lawmakers calling for the administration in its closing months in office to sanction two ministers in the Israeli cabinet.
	So that's something that screams out for cancellation on January 20th, and there's a lot of concern that this might.
	There's so many things.
	The United States is facing so many problems with what has happened to American citizens to really think about this, but it sets a terrible precedent for American allies who are democracies, and they just don't care.
	I mean, it's an amazing story.
	We've only got a minute and a half left in this segment.
	We're going to keep you over.
	Can we just flip to the good news?
	So tell us about the last 14 days in Israel after the president's victory.
	So, I mean, we were toasting in our newsroom, Channel 14 in Israel.
	I mean, people are so excited.
	It's like a weight, just as in the United States, a weight has just been lifted off of Israel.
	We've been facing this incredibly hostile administration with Biden, and it was...
	We were so anxious before November 5th, counting down.
	I was on every show, and they were like, Carolyn, what's going to happen?
	I'm like, I'm not tempting fate.
	I won't say it.
	We just want to bet you.
	Let's just put it here, and if you're right, we'll give you...
	You're superstitious like me.
	Yeah, and I said, I have no idea.
	I'm not saying anything.
	What did it say?
	Because it was too scary.
	Is there a spring in the step with Benjamin Netanyahu?
	Well, there were reports that there was dancing on desks, but I'm just saying it was just a report.
	Unconformed.
	Unconformed reports of dancing on desks.
	Yes, dancing on desks.
	I can confirm, the day after President Trump won, and I will not burn my former student who was working for Kerry's front office, he walked into the State Department after the President's victory in 2016.
	And people were openly sobbing, okay?
	You're not an adult if you're sobbing because of the results of an election.

	Can't believe it was just 14 days.
	stay on this channel.
	Thank you.
	Thank you.
	And then he decided, okay, this is good.
	And then he got in the armored convoy to the convention center where thousands of people had been waiting.
	And then we got in the buses and then we arrived at the convention center in front of the Jumbotrons for about an hour.
	And then they announced 2.77.
	The room just...
	Exploded.
	And then about 20 minutes later, he came out with everybody, Melania, JP. Yeah, we saw that.
	That must have been fun to be there.
	It was amazing.
	It was amazing.
	And thanks to a friend.
	I mean, I didn't have an original invitation, but some friends had invited me to dinner, to Palm Beach.
	And I said, OK, I'll come down to Palm Beach.
	And then I said to somebody who was inside the club, well, he said, you've got to come in.
	I said, OK, we'll sort it out with the Secret Service.
	And they did.
	And so I ordered my Uber to take me to Mar-a-Lago.
	How cool is that?
	Yeah, the boss is so good.
	He's so magnanimous always.
	You think he's going to succeed?
	You think they're not going to be able to derail him?
	He doesn't have to brook any compromise.
	And it's only the Senate that's left in the Senate.
	If they try and stop him, they're politically toast.
	All right, so...
	Come in with that, with the president, and then use Huckabee as B-roll.
	We're not going to play Huckabee?
	We will, but as B-roll.
	So not as an audio card.
	Okay, let me do some changes then.
	Okay, and then we're doing my pillow after the president.
	I just need titles.
	Yeah, for the monologue.
	Monologue, and also Razor Fist.
	We never got a title for Razor Fist.
	Why?
	Because I can't remember what we said.
	We talked about Carrie Lake.
	We talked about court marshals for Milley.
	What's going on with FBI? It should be announced imminently.
	Wait, is he getting rid of Ray?
	Because Ray doesn't necessarily have to resign.
	Well, Ray's going to resign.
	It's a 10-year term for FBI doctor, but he's not going to stay.
	Say that again, Eric.
	We talked about court marshals for Milley at all, and also why Carrie Lake lost.
	I thought that would be Radcliffe and then Grinnell would be CIA. No, no, no.
	Rick wanted state.
	Yeah.
	And nothing else.
	Nothing else.
	So for Razor Fist.
	Ready for Millie, for Mark Millie's court-martial, question mark.
	And then...
	Mm-hmm.
	I actually think they hate Israel.
	Yes.
	I don't think they hate it.
	I think they hate Israel.
	And the Democrat Party hates Israel.
	And the Democrat Party, if you remember, when many Israeli representatives, including Netanyahu, when they came to the country trying, begging, begging, at that time, President Obama, please don't make the Iran nuclear deal, which is a disaster, and was a disaster.
	And I ended it.
	But unfortunately, they didn't do anything with the ending of it.
	President Trump making news on our show before the election saying, if you're a Democrat and you're voting for Kamala, you really must hate Israel.
	Yeah, even if you're Jewish, just look at their policies.
	We'll discuss that and so much more momentarily.
	But if you enjoy the show, support those who make it possible.
	This is not NPR. We don't get half a billion dollars of your hard-earned taxpayer money every year.
	This is a free market enterprise made possible by the likes of the great Mike Lindell, the inventor of the MyPillow, of which he has sold more than 81 million because they are that good.

	Promo code G-O-R-K-A. Caroline Glick, tell us a little bit about...
	President Trump may have made the term fake news popular in America, but you in Israel, you've been dealing with this for a little bit longer, haven't you?
	Yeah.
	We have an incredible media in Israel, incredible as in unbelievable.
	No, they work hand in glove with the ruling class.
	They are the ruling class, along with the senior woke generals in our military and our legal system, which is hyper-activist.
	I think Robert Bork wrote a book called Slouching to Gomorrah, where he said that the Israeli justice system, our Supreme Court, is more activist than anything you ever imagined possible.
	And it's become much worse since he wrote the book.
	So it's incredible how they're used as just a vehicle for law.
	How bad is the situation right now for the Prime Minister?
	They're trying to get him out before January 20th.
	Their worst fear is that we're going to have a strong Netanyahu.
	He already is stronger politically than he's been in I don't know how many years.
	Working with President Trump.
	So they're just going into overcharge with these stories and stories and stories that have nothing behind them to try to produce an atmosphere of anxiety and uncertainty about his fate in order to propel a destabilization of his coalition.
	And it's all being done hand in glove between the media and the justice ministry and These generals who should have resigned after October 7th.
	And how does this still apply after this incredible, I mean, an operation that today's CIA could never accomplish?
	This, the pager operation, does this not go to the credit?
	Do not people who had issues with Bibi say, wow.
	Well, Netanyahu is polling higher now than he did in the last election when he won a commanding majority in the Knesset.
	So they're looking at that and they're despondent.
	They're looking at Trump and the statements that are coming out of his transition team and his nominees for key positions like Mike Huckabee for the ambassador.
	Let's play the B-roll.
	How happy are you that it's Governor Huckabee?
	Oh my God.
	I mean, you know, somebody said to me, great.
	He said, no matter how deeply you believe that God gave Israel to the Jewish people, Mike Huckabee believes it more.
	That was well put.
	He's wonderful.
	I know him very well.
	So what is, we're not going to give advice to Mike or Senator Rubio, but what would you like to see happen as something at least symbolic in the first days of the next Trump administration?
	First of all, I think, you know, President Trump already said he's going to stop the arms embargo that we're facing now.
	And I think that's very important on this first day.
	I think it's important to end the sanctions on Israeli citizens, completely cancel that executive order, sanction the International Criminal Court.
	And I think it's very important for the Americans to make a statement saying, look, What is this nonsense about Palestinian statehood?
	They had a state in Gaza, and they used it to commit a one-day holocaust, which would have gone on and on if Israel hadn't gotten a hold of itself and pushed them out within 24 hours.
	So I think this was a wake-up call for Israelis, and I think we just have to end this nonsense with the idea that these people who butchered our children and raped our women are going to be able to endanger the state of Israel by building a terrorist state in our heartland.
	The relationship between Jerusalem, thanks to President Trump, and the White House was never stronger than it was when we were in the building, and now it can be again.

	And he said, of course there is.
	Families can be deported together.
	He also said that it didn't mean if someone was coming to be quote unquote rounded up and grandma was in the house and she's undocumented, that it didn't necessarily mean that grandma wouldn't be taken to.
	And you can say Donald Trump has a mandate till you're blue in the face.
	Taking grandma is not what people were voting for.
	They were voting for criminals to be kicked out of this country.
	Taking grandma, really?
	Is that what you think Tom Homan and the rest of the team are going to do at DHS and the White House?
	Poor Jessica Tarloff.
	Has she recovered from what happened 14 days ago?
	I think not.
	Let's discuss the future of the next 60 days.
	And then Trump 2.0 with one of his staunchest supporters momentarily.

	Eric, tell me when you have that photograph available for me because I'd like to perhaps introduce our next guest with that photo.
	Okay, so let's put the photograph up on the screen.
	Okay, so it is a very natty pair of gold trainers that I photographed in...
	Ah yes, Milwaukee, the Friday before the election, where an individual appeared and then his clones appeared.
	And it was very confusing because I only thought there was one Troy Nels in America.
	But there aren't!
	Congressman Troy Nels, Texas' representative for the 22nd District.
	How many Nels were in attendance at that rally, Congressman Nels?
	Oh, I think maybe four or five.
	Four or five of them.
	So you got a picture of the gold shoes.
	I love the shoes.
	Matter of fact, Seb, if you don't recall, you smoked that nice cigar I gave you.
	You shoved an Ashton in my pocket as we were waiting for the president.
	I enjoyed it that night.
	But you had this, you had like the Nels clan was there.
	And the president gave you a huge shout out because basically you got, what did he say?
	The people of Texas gave you a leave of absence to go full America first and it worked.
	We won 14 days ago.
	Tell us what you've been doing for the last few months to save America, congressman.
	I tell you, you know, the great state of Texas, we're red.
	The Democrats are trying to tell you it's in play.
	No, it's not.
	Ted Cruz won by 10 points and Donald J. Trump won by 14.
	So Texas is strong.
	And my efforts needed to be up in the swing states.
	And I'm originally from the state of Wisconsin.
	That's where I spent the past four months with several of my family members up there working really, really hard for Donald J. Trump because I told the boss on several occasions, we win Wisconsin, we win it all.
	Well, we did.
	And I appreciate my brothers and everyone that just really, really worked hard to secure that victory in the great state of Wisconsin.
	That was one of the greatest moments for me.
	And I told President Trump on the phone, I said, you know, it was 268.
	You had 268.
	You know, you need 270 electorals to win it.
	And it was the state of Wisconsin that took it over the top to 278.
	We were there in the convention center in Palm Beach, and when the Wisconsin was called, it was like, yes, 277.
	Congressman Nels, your brothers, your family members, you were like...
	You're a happy team.
	It looks like everybody were like happy warriors.
	Everybody was beaming.
	Is that because of your family and their nature?
	Or did you guys know that it was in the bag days before the election?
	Well, we were working so hard up there for the past several months attending the different county fairs.
	Going to the Packer game, the Packers played the Lions the Sunday prior, and we knew Michigan was important, and we have a big 20-foot blow-up Trump, and 35,000 people walked past us, and we had thousands of them taking pictures with the big blow-up Trump and saying, we love Trump.
	We had very few people.
	I got the one-fingered salute from a few people that were just angry, and they seemed to be carrying a cap.
	But overall, a majority of the people were very, very supportive of Donald J. Trump.
	And I told him, I said, I feel really good about Wisconsin.
	I really, really do.
	And so very optimistic.
	So talk to us about what we should expect on January the 20th.
	There are still some positions open.
	I'd love to see somebody like, oh, I don't know, maybe Congressman Sheriff Troy Nels helping Tom Homan, Governor Noem at DHS, maybe at CBP. There's not going to be any compromise, is there?
	We have to secure the border and secure America, Congressman.
	I agree.
	And the border, to me, I know the economy is a very important issue for the American people, but I still believe that the border may have been the number one issue for America because it's killing our young, innocent people here in this country.
	They're terrorizing our communities.
	Trendyagua out of Venezuela, that very violent gang out of Venezuela, just hurting people.
	Lake and Riley's, you know, if you listen to some of that 911 call, I mean, if that doesn't just Make your heart hurt for that entire family.
	So, as a matter of fact, I was on the phone here a few minutes ago with Tom Holman, and I said, you know what I think you're going to see?
	I said, Tom Holman, you're doing one hell of a job.
	You're doing some great interviews.
	I think you're going to see a lot before January 20th of self Deportation.
	I think you're going to see it.
	We've got to get these bad hombres out of this country.
	And you need to leave on your own.
	Do it and do it as quickly as you can.
	You came in quickly through an open border.
	You can leave quickly through an open border.
	And we've got 30 seconds left.
	You're a member of Congress.
	Is the Senate making lots of noise now about, oh, well, gates this and gates that?
	Or are they going to play ball and understand what the American people did two weeks ago?
	Well, I think you've got some members in Congress or in the Senate on the Republican side that have some concerns.
	And all about the issues that surround Matt gets.
	But I tell you what, the Senate, we wouldn't have the majority, in my opinion, in the Senate if it weren't for Donald J. Trump.
	And we certainly wouldn't have kept the gavel in the House of Representatives if it weren't for Donald J. Trump at the top of the ticket.
	So Congress as a whole, in the House and the Senate, they owe a lot to Donald J. Trump because we wouldn't have a unified government if we didn't have Donald J. Trump at the top of the ticket.
	He knows what is required.
	He is the author of the book Borderless by Design.

	Nails.
	Will the Senate play ball with President Trump?
	Two's pretty good.
	I'll take him, yeah.
	But I'll tee up Colbert.
	12.
	For some reason, the recording of the Giuliani liner was cut off at the very end on the hard drive.
	I'm not sure why.
	I can just...
	You're listening to America First with Sebastian Gorka, former strategist to President Donald J. Trump.

	Katie Gorka, Jennifer Horne, the Happy Women podcast.
	Jeff, you kind of make things difficult for me because I absolutely hate Stephen Colbert, but you keep giving me cuts of him.
	Why do you do that?
	Well, usually they're to make fun of them, but every now and then they're good.
	This one, I can't remember the last time you actually did something this funny.
	I do.
	The week they were trying to take Biden out, remember all of a sudden?
	Oh, yes!
	Oh, yes!
	All right, so this is from the G20 meeting with Joe Biden as he just walks off camera literally into the jungle.
	Cut 12.
	...is what happened after his speech when he walked off into the jungle.
	There he goes.
	Joe, bye-bye.
	Bye-bye, Joe.
	Joe go.
	Hey, I'm out of here.
	Peace out, Jack.
	No, no, I gotta go.
	I gotta go.
	No, listen, uh-uh.
	I tell you, folks, what I'm doing, I'm starting a new life out of there in the trees.
	I packed a buck knife, turkey jerky, and some ayahuasca.
	So for four years, he wasn't funny, but now he is.
	Yeah, we get it, Stephen.
	Let's go to your calls.
	Let's go to Steve in North Dakota.
	Well, I'm right here.
	Hey, Dr.
	G, long-time listener, first-time caller, do you know what I love about that section you just had?
	What?
	The lava lamp.
	Ah, it's my favorite thing in this studio, apart from my Trump mugshot yard sign.
	Why is a lava lamp so cool, Steve?
	Because I was born in 1961, and that's what we had.
	Shag carpeting.
	I mean...
	Did you have...
	I had a pair of green...
	I'm not that old, but I did have a pair of green elephant cord flared trousers.
	I had green flares.
	Yeah, there was just this, you know, two-inch thick shag carpet.
	Yeah, and flared pants.
	But that's not why you called.
	Why did you call, Steve?
	Because I'm from Minnesota.
	Minnesota!
	I moved to North Dakota.
	Dude, you've got 57 seconds.
	Get to the point!
	Well, we expected the Venezuelans wouldn't be here.
	They caught West Fargo guy wearing a ski mask, gloves, hooking into, and I don't understand the cable, into the ATM machine, lights off, pulled them over, $25,000 cash in the back of his seat.
	And I don't know how the cable, but they put a virus into the ATM machine.
	They're everywhere.
	That's why we need Tom Homan, Kristi Noem, Stephen Miller to clean up America and get rid of the illegals.
	Stay on the line.
	If you're a first-time caller, you get your...
	He's back, President Trump, in the garbage truck at the White House.

	There is not a thing that comes to mind in terms of, and I've been a part of most of the decisions that have had impact.
	When a campaign commits suicide live on air, that moment should have been a puff piece, a televisual puff piece, but she was not prepared for the one question That should have been the most obvious of all.
	You're the vice-president.
	What would you have done differently?
	Oh, nothing.
	Twenty million illegals, rampant inflation, war in Europe, war in the Middle East.
	Nothing, nothing, nothing.
	Here we are.
	I can't believe it's just 14 days later.
	Let's analyze.
	That victory by President Trump and the days ahead, 60 days of a lamed-up presidency and then the inauguration when 45 becomes 47 with the author of the seminal work, The Political and Strategic History of the World, Volume 1, From Antiquity to the Caesars, 14 Anno Domini.
	We welcome back Lord Conrad Black.
	Lord Black, have you had a good 14 days?
	It's splendid.
	Yes, indeed.
	Thank you.
	And how has the reaction been north of the border to President Trump's victory?
	Well, Canadians have found it hard to understand his attractions.
	You know, I mean, to most of them, not all of them by any means, but to most of them, he's a very rambustious and Slightly overwhelming character, you know, and not, you know, Canadians tend to be rather soft-spoken and diplomatic people, you know, and so they find him a bit challenging.
	But with that said, I think everybody's impressed that he has made his comeback over so many obstacles, including assassination attempts at the end.
	And certainly Canadians are aware of the problems he's attacking.
	We don't have the problems on the border, obviously, since the border's with the United States.
	And we haven't had inflation to the degree that the Americans have.
	But the problems in the world, the wars in Europe and the Middle East, and uncertainty in many areas, and I think most Canadians would Politely say that they had their concerns about the Biden administration.
	Whoever it is, we always wish the President of the United States to do well.
	It doesn't matter what party that person is.
	We want the Americans to do well, because that's good for all of us.
	And so there's a lot of curiosity and hopefulness that everything will work out well.
	Well, we have to discuss what has happened in the last 14 days.
	Another announcement, we have the Secretary of the Department of Trade has been announced by President Trump and Commerce, and that is the head of the transition team, Howard Lutnick.
	We are waiting for other names with regards to Treasury and so forth, but some of the most...
	He was hoping for Treasury.
	He was hoping for Treasury, but the other three are still in running, and Howard gets Commerce.
	Let's talk about some of the other choices from the outside, from the private sector.
	Let's start with, I think, a fellow Canadian, Kevin O'Leary, very excited about what Elon Musk is going to do with the Department of Government Efficiency.
	Let's play that cut first.
	Cut 10.
	So Elon Musk is having no end of fun with all of this.
	America, his PAC, produced this tweet saying, quote, the Pentagon just failed its seventh audit in a row.
	The nation's largest government agency is unable to fully account for its budget of over $824 billion.
	They don't even know where billions of taxpayers' money is going.
	Efficiency is coming, to which Musk retweeted with a comment, sounds like a job for Doge.
	I mean, he really looks like he's looking forward to getting into the numbers here.
	I rest my case, Your Honor.
	Here he goes.
	He's just going to keep on these guys, hitting him every day to a billion people that are willing to listen, and the head squeezing begins.
	I love head squeezing.
	This is fantastic.
	They're going to think he's going to go away.
	No, he won't.
	He'll just keep going and going and going and going, and no one's going to stop him.
	He owns a network.
	We've never had anything quite like this, and I absolutely love it.
	This is terrific.
	I love head squeezing from Kevin O'Leary.
	And then Vivek Ramaswamy saying, yeah, we're going to get rid of whole sections of government.
	Let's play that cut for Lord Black.
	Are you expecting to close down entire agencies, like President Trump has talked about the Department of Education, for example?
	Are you going to be closing down departments?
	We expect mass reductions.
	We expect certain agencies to be deleted outright.
	We expect mass reductions in force in areas of the federal government that are bloated.
	We expect massive cuts among federal contractors and others who are overbilling the federal government.
	So, yes, we expect all of the above.
	And I think people will be surprised by, I think, how quickly we're able to move with some of those changes, given the legal backdrop.
	The Supreme Court has given us.
	Certain agencies will be deleted.
	You have written more than one presidential history.
	How different an administration do you expect, not just in general comparatively, but even in comparison to the first Trump administration, Lord Black?
	Oh, very different.
	I mean, many have commented on the fact that when President Trump was first elected, He had had no experience in Washington.
	I mean, he knew some of the personalities, but he hadn't operated in that milieu.
	And I think he was, as he would himself admit, somewhat surprised, not completely surprised, but somewhat surprised by the animosity to him, the systematic resistance to him.
	We will recall, your viewers will recall, in his early days, there were people in the White House deliberately leaking Completely illegally.
	Whole conversations that he had had by telephone with foreign leaders, like the Prime Minister of Australia, for instance.
	And it was just a seething mass of disloyal, hostile elements all around the government.
	And they sandbagged him.
	They tried to tie him up with the nonsense of the inquiry into collusion with the Russian government in the previous election.
	Complete fraud, of course.
	No truth to it at all.
	As they all knew, Obama, Biden, the Clintons knew it.
	The Clintons paid for it, for the whole hoax.
	And none of that is happening now.
	The resistance doesn't really exist.
	Everybody admits he's one fair and square.
	He has a mandate, and they expect him to try and carry it out.
	And so I think, and he's clearly moving very quickly on a very efficient business-like transition operation to put his people in place and get all ready to take advantage of this at least two-year period where his party controls both houses of the Congress and he's clearly moving very quickly on a very efficient business-like transition operation to put his people in place and get all ready to take advantage
	Apart from that, most Americans would agree that if he can get rid of surplus costs in Washington, everybody except the people who are, in fact, disemployed will approve of that.
	I mean, the whole country isn't calling for waste in government.
	They don't like it.
	And this story that was perfectly tied in terms of Doge and Musk and Ramaswamy, that the Pentagon has failed for a seventh time in a row to meet an audit.
	Doesn't that just, that's, you know, we've got the Electoral College, we've got the popular vote, and then we've got this on top of it, Lord Black.
	And not only that, this president, this incoming president in his previous term, He violated his own guidelines about avoiding excessive deficits in order to build up the Defense Department and make good for the neglect of it in the Obama years.
	And yet, with all of that, The senior officers in the military appeared to be more preoccupied with wokeness and nonsense about critical race theory and so on than they were with keeping pace with the Chinese and the Russians in hypersonic missiles and assuring that the Nimitz-class aircraft carriers,
	one of the greatest, most powerful arms of the American military apparatus, had adequate defenses against incoming missiles and wouldn't be, if it ever came to it, just a replication of the battleship sitting like sitting ducks in Pearl Harbor. just a replication of the battleship sitting like sitting ducks So not only are they wasting a lot of money, not only can they not account for what they do, they aren't actually doing a competent job.

	Get yours today, sebgorkastore.com, and we can celebrate together.

	We'll be back with Lord Black after these messages.
	We'll be back with Lord Black after these messages.
	We'll be back with Lord Black after these messages.
	I'm sending you this now, Eric, so I can mention it.
	Breaking news at the top.
	Sebastian, am I not right that this man who's just been named Commerce Secretary, when he was the transition head, I mean, he had that interim position there, he publicly stated that That there was no chance that Robert Kennedy Jr.
	would be given HHS. Didn't he?
	I mean, he made a few predictions.
	He said something about Bobby, but I don't know if it was that adamant.
	But I'd have to go back.
	Yeah.
	I'd have to go back.
	I just wondered if he had...
	I mean, it doesn't matter.
	Well, he wanted Treasury, so, you know, he may be just losing, waning in influence.
	Yeah, but...
	Maybe it's two bites of the cherry, and he starts where he is, and in two or three years there might be a change or something.
	Yes, yes, yes, yes.
	But I have a friend who's in the short running for Treasury, so I'm sure he's very happy right now.
	Well, isn't this guy Besson?
	Yes.
	They're both very capable from all I hear.
	Yeah.
	And the nice thing about Scott is that Scott actually put his money where his mouth is and publicly, as a Wall Street billionaire, publicly endorsed President Trump months ago.
	Yes.
	Yes.
	Well, you know, the emphasis on loyalty, and there's nothing wrong with that.
	I mean, goodness knows this president has had to deal with a great deal of disloyalty at times.
	It's a strange thing in the mainstream media how it's meant to be a criticism that President Trump is appointing people who are loyal to him.
	Yes, exactly.
	If other presidents made a habit of appointing their enemies.
	Yeah, right.
	And when you have people like, who was it, Eric Holder, saying, I am Obama's wingman.
	Yeah.
	Yeah.
	Well, I mean, he was an appalling character.
	And he was the one who set out to shrink the cartel, to destroy the cartel of the great accounting firms.
	So he attacked one of them and broke it up.
	And put 100,000 people out of work all over the world.
	So we then had an even smaller cartel of big accounting firms.
	Bingo.
	A genius move.
	Eric, come in with 17.
	Today's 17.
	And then I'll tee up Jeffrey Clark's 17.
	Come in with 17 and then...
	No, no, no.
	You said 17.
	Oh, sorry.
	Come in with 17 and then 14.
	14, okay.
	And then I have the picture of the headline.
	Oh, good.
	Then I'll mention that.
	I'll just mention that.
	After the cuts.
	Okay.
	30 seconds. 30 seconds.
	30 seconds.
	New York, I got one thing to say first.
	We need justice for peanut.
	Right?
	Like, you know, and it's not just the squirrel.
	It's all the kids that went hungry that night.
	And all the other things that the money and resources could have been put through.
	Hopefully that doge cleans things up down to state level.
	I like how you use the parliamentary speech for a political rally.
	Joe Rogan, a little bit shocked there, which is not surprising because I can't think of a boxer or an MMA fighter praising the creation of a new government entity right after his win.
	There you have Doge being lauded by the victor in that fight.
	I think politics has changed quite a bit in the last nine years.
	Before we get back to what we can expect after January the 20th, first things first, PhD weight loss is real.
	It works.
	I can attest to it because I don't need a script.
	I've lived it now, having shed 42 pounds thanks to a program that requires no injections, no needles, no chemical dependency for the rest of your life, just a system system.
	That burns the fat right off.
	Five protein-rich meals a day.
	If I can do it, so can you.
	I'm down to a size 36 waist.
	I'm 6'3".
	I haven't had a size 36 waist since I was in my 20s, and it feels superb.
	Ring up Dr.
	Ashley Lucas' team today, 864-644-1900, and see the before and after pictures at myphdweightloss.com.
	That's 864-644-1900, myphdweightloss.com.
	We're back with the author, most recently, of The Political and Strategic History of the World.
	Part one, Lord Conrad Black.
	Lord Black, the big test, as you've mentioned, your latest piece in the New York Sun will be what happens after the president is sworn in and those nominees' names go to the Senate.
	Here's Geoffrey Clark on Steve Bannon's war room talking about one possible option.
	Cut 14.
	Does your paper and analysis say that basically President Trump can force the hands of both houses of Congress to basically put him into recess and he does his recess appointments?
	I just want to make sure that Nicole Wallace's head blows up appropriately today for her show.
	Are you saying that President Trump can actually force the houses into recess and do his appointments then?
	So, Steve, under the Constitution, if the two houses disagree about whether to adjourn or stay in session, then the president has the power to send them into recess, both houses, for as long as he sees fit.
	So it's a very important power.
	It hasn't been wielded in the past before, but the framers were keen on giving that power to the president.
	It's an analog of a power that existed in English law.
	Lord Black, The noises coming out of the Senate and Thune are maybe throat clearing, maybe just chest thumping.
	Do you expect it to come to a head?
	Or will the president behind closed doors affect some kind of deal?
	Or will he have to have recess appointments?
	I don't profess...
	I'm not in touch with any of those people, so I only know what I hear.
	But for what it's worth, my guess is that since he has 53 senators plus the vice president and the chair, I would have thought that in all of the circumstances he could get all his nominees through.
	I realize there are a lot of reservations about Gates in particular, and Kennedy less so, and to some extent Gabbard and even Hegseth.
	But I think the only one that could be touched and go is Gates, and I suspect he would lose a couple of the usual suspects, like Murkowski, who isn't really a Republican and wasn't the Republican candidate in the last election, but McConnell gave her the money to win.
	But...
	But I think he's probably going to get all his people through.
	But if it looks like he isn't, then I think he would take the measure that has just been described.
	And why shouldn't they?
	I mean, unless he's putting utterly unqualified or disqualified people into high offices, he has the right to choose the team of collaborators.
	Now, the power of advice and consent of the Senate is real and must be respected.
	But not if it's just, we don't like this guy, so we're not voting for him.
	Yeah.
	Let's talk about the other side.
	Your latest piece for the New York Sun discusses the quote-unquote democratic resistance.
	Apart from some outliers in the last 14 days, I don't see anyone who's really drawn the requisite conclusions on what happened 14 days ago.
	Are they going to dig themselves into a deeper hole, Lord Black?
	I don't want to be disrespectful here, but if you take a can of insecticide and blast a fly or some insect that's a pest, it then buzzes around more busily than it has been and then suddenly drops dead.
	I think the Democrats are sort of reeling from The shock of the rejection they've suffered and the rejection their allies have suffered.
	The scale of it.
	The scale of it.
	The scale of it and the absolute lack of ambiguity of it, and right down into the bowels of public office, like the mayor of Oakland and so on, and the mayor of San Francisco, the prosecutor in Los Angeles.
	I mean, it's just been a terrible setback for them, and so I think they're Having been so accustomed to thinking of themselves as not only the natural party of government, but the force of history, everything was moving steadily to the left.
	Ninety-five percent of people in the District of Columbia are Democrats.
	And fine, you can have a Republican look-alike president of Bush or something, but basically everything's always moving in the direction of the Democrats.
	And it's just such a shock to them that they haven't got their wits about them yet, most of them, to figure out what happened.
	And so you get these ludicrous spectacles like J.B. Pritzker saying, if they come for my people, they'll have to come through me.
	I mean, it's the most absurd comment from a ridiculous man who skillfully selected a wealthy family to be born into.
	And survive childbirth.
	And here he is as the governor of Illinois.
	But, you know, I think, look, the Democrats have a lot of very smart people.
	And I think they will, you know, they'll have plenty of time to figure it out.
	And I think they'll do pretty much what they did after Reagan buried the Democrats 40 years ago.
	And you get a sort of a Clinton thing where people are saying, well, wait a minute here.
	Let's go back to being kind of, you know, in the same...
	In the same echelon of policy as the Republicans, different but not too far away from them.
	The website is Conrad M. Black.
	The podcast co-hosted is Scholars and Sense with Victor Davis Hanson and Bill Bennett.

	Good.
	If it doesn't arrive in time, just remind me and I'm sure I can help.
	Okay, that's kind of it.
	What's your view?
	Do you think, you see, I didn't want to get into this, but I think the Gates choice was partly to, as a deal with the Freedom Caucus, would stop these jackass efforts to disrupt the Speaker, because they haven't gotten enough members of Congress to afford that kind of thing.
	So kill the mics, Eric.

	I call him Sebastian.
	Thank you, Sebastian.
	I just spotted you.
	It's lucky you're nice and tall.
	And there was Rick Grinnell sitting right in front of me.
	I hope Rick gets some really, really prominent position because he deserves it.
	Very loyal to the president.
	He could definitely clean up parts of the swamp that he is very, very familiar with.

	So, we have some breaking news.
	Let's put it up there.
	I'm happy about this one.
	I don't know the guy.
	I've never met him.
	But what happened in Pennsylvania with Fetterman, who I think was utterly wrong, where, what was it, Eric?
	More than 50% of the votes were mailed in before the first debate, right?
	Before that debate when the effects of Fetterman's stroke were...
	Oh, yeah, yeah.
	Before people realized it was, you know, a vegetable at the time.
	No, go back.
	I haven't read the headline.
	Nobody knows what I've said.
	Why don't you switch it off, guys?
	Thank you.
	This is from Fox 21 in Philadelphia.
	President Trump nominates Dr.
	Oz Mehmet Oz to lead the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services.
	Well done, Dr.
	Oz.
	Congratulations.
	Okay, so...
	We've got an Attorney General.
	We've got a Director of the CIA, John Ratcliffe.
	We've got Matt Gaetz for DOJ. We've got Tulsi Gabbard at the Office of the Director for National Intelligence.
	We've got a Secretary of State, Marco Rubio.
	But what are we missing when it comes to the deep, deep state?
	The FBI. A couple of names out there.
	One person who I know is in the running, at least as of last night, is a friend of mine.
	And as far as I'm concerned, he is the very best choice.
	A former terrorism prosecutor for the Department of Justice, Kash Patel served as chief investigator for Devin Nunes on the House Intelligence Committee, seminal to the uncovering of the Russia hoax and the unmasking scandal of the Obama administration.
	From thence, he also served in the Trump administration as not only acting...
	Speak English, Gorker.
	Acting Deputy Director of National Intelligence above 17 U.S. intelligence agencies.
	He also served in a brand new position, which was perfect for him, as Chief of Staff for the whole Defense Department.
	Yes, Chief of Staff for the Pentagon.
	This man, as you've heard on many occasions here on this show and elsewhere, Has done so much to fight the deep state, to uncover the persecution of innocent Americans, not just President Trump, but January 6ers, on and on and on, that with Matt Gaetz at DOJ, backed up by the President's Attorney, Todd Blanche, as Deputy.
	Congratulations, Todd.
	Superb, superb.
	If we had Kash Patel at the FBI... Well, hey Jeff, if the President announced cash at the FBI, how many senior management do you think would retire before January the 20th?
	That's the goal, right?
	I mean, it's like self-deportation, isn't it?
	It's much cheaper than firing.
	You put Tom Homan on every TV show for the next 60 days.
	I don't know if we're going to need to deport anybody.
	And if we have Matt Gates at DOJ, Kash Patel at the FBI, it's going to be like the losers and the cretins who stay there, right?
	The ones that stay there?
	No, the losers and the cretins are going to be ones that leave, don't you think?
	No, they're the smart ones who get out of the way, right?
	Yeah, exactly.
	They're the smart ones.
	The ones who stay are the ones that think, oh, I can subvert cash and I can survive, right?
	The idiots who think they can stay there.
	That's what I mean.
	Oh, that's not going to work this time.
	No, no, no, no, no.
	But they are rather arrogant.
	So, Kash Patel, you are in our prayers.
	We hope it goes your way.
	We've had a couple of announcements today, including commerce for Howard Lutnick.
	We have Treasury left.
	We have FBI. Oh, please.
	Let's make it.
	The choice should be the one that is the worst for the deep state.
	That's the best metric.
	Who does the establishment hate the most?
	That's Who you want to have in that position.
	I'm Sebastian Gorka.
	Your call's next.
	833-333-GORKA. That's 833-334-6752.

	I'm a grocery store worker and was working doubles during the coronavirus shutdown.
	At 52 years old, my two bad knees did not get a rest.
	I literally limped to and from bed.
	Two days into relief factor and the pain decreased substantially.
	So thankful for this amazing product.

	President Trump will recess the Senate if he needs to.
	That's black?
	Yeah.
	Okay.
	That is black.
	And monologue.
	What was it about?
	It was about the illegal aliens.
	Holman and the Sanctuary.
	Rapists and murderers funded by Kamala and Joe Biden.
	Hmm.
	No, the rapists and murderers funded by...
	Kamala?
	No, make it shorter.
	Funded by the Democrat administration.
	Funded by the Democrats?
	Yeah, funded by the Democrats.
	How do I send an invitation by signal?
	Mmmmm.
	What have we not played?
	I don't know, but with the appointments, notice how there's been no rumors about Department of Education.
	I wonder if he's going to even bother nominating one.
	Well, did you see the latest rumor?
	What?
	What's that?
	Tiffany Justice.
	Oh, I haven't seen any.
	I was just assuming he wasn't going to nominate someone.
	That was today.
	That would be amazing.
	Why would you nominate someone, though, if you're trying to get rid of it?
	Well, you have to put someone in there.
	You can't just take it down without Congress and the Senate.
	So you have to have somebody, you know, sherpa it through dissolution.
	Or you just leave it vacant for a while to prove that it's useless.
	That's what I would do.
	That's good, too.
	I like that.
	I like that.
	Can you come in with 10 again?
	It's just too good.
	10 again.
	All right.
	And then we'll do cigars.
	All right.
	America, his PAC, produced this tweet saying, quote, the Pentagon just failed its seventh audit in a row.
	The nation's largest government agency is unable to fully account for its budget of over $824 billion.
	They don't even know where billions of taxpayers' money is going.
	Efficiency is coming, to which Musk retweeted with a comment, sounds like a job for Doge.
	I mean, he really looks like he's looking forward to getting into the numbers here.
	I rest my case, Your Honor.
	Here he goes.
	He's just going to keep on these guys, hitting him every day to a billion people that are willing to listen, and the head squeezing begins.
	I love head squeezing.
	This is fantastic.
	They're going to think he's going to go away.
	No, he won't.
	He'll just keep going and going and going and going, and no one's going to stop him.
	He owns a network.
	We've never had anything quite like this, and I absolutely love it.
	This is terrific.
	Eric, do you love head squeezing?
	When it's put that way, yeah, I guess I am in support of it.
	Though I wouldn't personally be the one doing it.
	Jeff, John Roberts, don't you think in the last couple of days or weeks, he's kind of dark maggot, isn't he?
	He has been a little bit.
	I like the way he's behaving.
	All right, what was I going to do here?
	Oh, yes, we'll do that in a second.
	But I want to tell you guys, it's happening right now.
	I whisper in my ear because I'm going, it's too much happening.
	It's just too distracting.
	President Trump right now is in Texas with Elon Musk, with Donald Trump Jr.
	and they're waiting for the latest SpaceX launch.
	And I'm just literally writing this tweet right now.
	They're not even in office yet and they're making America great again.
	14 days since the election.
	And they're already working and they're on the clock.
	We need to celebrate.
	How do we do?
	I'll be doing it tonight.
	My best friend Stevie is with us here in the swamp and we're going to have a large cigar tonight.
	Maybe an adult beverage will be partaken of by my friend.
	It is the latest.
	Teddy Roosevelt, Dr.
	G Liberty cigars.
	Get yours today.
	I've been searching years for a cigar worthy.
	The George Washingtons ran out almost instantaneously, and now we have the Teddy Roosevelt's.
	Get yours today, sebgorkastore.com.
	That's S-E-B-G-O-R-K-A, sebgorkastore.com, and the Dr.
	G, Teddy Roosevelt's.
	All right, I don't know why I play these cuts, but maybe just so I can make fun of him.
	John Bolton.
	I asked somebody today about John Bolton.
	Who knows?
	Why is he such a pathetic individual?
	Because of ego.
	And he said, you're absolutely right.
	Here is the man who once served in the Trump administration, talking about the man I consider to be a superlative pick for the Attorney General.
	Cut for it.
	I do believe that a sufficient number of Republican senators would say they will not abandon the separation of powers.
	They will see Gates as the threat that he is to the kind of professional Justice Department we want.
	If the complaint from Trump is the Department of Justice has been politicized by the Biden administration, then the remedy is depoliticize it.
	Matt Gates is exactly the opposite of that.
	He will make it worse And I think it could cause problems in the department.
	It could take decades to repair.
	It's not about depoliticizing anything.
	It's about cleaning it out.
	It's about making sure Lady Justice wears a blindfold again.
	That's what we're talking about.
	And who better?
	I mean, short of the president who's being persecuted by the judicial system for the last nine years, who better than the man who was accused of some heinous crimes investigated for 20 months by the Department of Justice who just said, sorry, you didn't do anything. who better than the man who was accused of some And the person who was involved in the accusations, a former FBI agent, ends up in prison for extortion.
	I think that qualifies Matt Gaetz rather well.
	OK, another completely different story.
	I was watching breakfast television with my friend this morning, and Nancy Mace, she's on the warpath.
	Eric, who is this new congressman from Delaware?
	His name is Tim McBride, but he calls himself Sarah.
	He seems to think he's a woman.
	He seems like a very confused individual.
	Just got elected from the state of Delaware, Biden's old stomping grounds, as a freshman member of Congress and as the first...
	Openly transgender member of Congress.
	And Nancy Mace isn't having any of it.
	And she's got a new bill that she's proposed.
	And this was her this morning at about 8.15.
	Underneath the halls of Congress being doorstepped by the media.
	Play cut.
	Is this effort in response to Congresswoman McBride coming to Congress?
	Yes, and absolutely, and then some.
	I'm not going to stand for a man.
	You know, if someone with a penis is in the women's locker room, that's not okay.
	And I'm a victim of abuse myself.
	I'm a rape survivor.
	I have PTSD from the abuse I've suffered at the hands of a man.
	And I know how vulnerable women and girls are in private spaces.
	So I'm absolutely 100% going to stand in the way of any man who wants to be in a women's restroom, in our locker rooms, in our changing rooms.
	I will be there fighting you every step of the way.
	Alex, as our in-house diplomat, what do you think?
	She's pretty adamant there.
	Do you think she's going to back down from what she just said?
	No, she's going full steam ahead.
	That man is not going to have access to the female locker room and restrooms in Congress.
	That's my prediction.
	Do you concur?
	I do concur.
	I think that's absolutely right.
	Let's go to Dave in Arizona, line one.
	Before I get to that, thank God for Nancy Mace.
	I hope her courage is contagious.
	I think Polly Pockets could use a spine like her.
	That would be amazing.
	Yeah, when she wants to fight, she fights.
	What would you like to talk about, Dave?
	Well, the most critical thing on the agenda today, as I'm sure you guys have seen and talked about, the six U.S. missiles that were fired into Russia by Ukraine.
	Allegedly with Biden's permission.
	Correct.
	Yeah, President Biden puppet, whomever the puppet master is pulling the strings, is probably Victoria Newland, gave the go-ahead to that.
	We're in a crisis, and it's a constitutional crisis.
	I'm not sure why the gelded, old, pathetic GOP doesn't push harder to get him out of office and find out who's really pulling the strings, because I think the next 60 days are more dangerous than the last four years combined.
	What do you mean push him out of office?
	Do you want Kamala in the chair?
	It's just like the conversation we had with McCarthy.
	I wanted to get Kevin McSwampy out.
	I don't think Pauly Pockis is any better.
	And I talked to Representative Gosar, he's my servant in the Congress, and tell him to put up articles to vacate the chair again.
	We just keep pushing until we get the right people in the right places.
	If you had a staff member, Dr. Gorka, that wasn't pulling their weight, you wouldn't coddle them for four years.
	You'd ask them to change their performance.
	Yeah, but the way the Constitution works, if you get rid of the president, then the vice president steps in unrighteousness.
	I'm not sure Kamala would be an improvement, but I like the way you talk about your congressman, that he's your servant.
	And they should be because they work for us.
	If you are an owner of a cell phone, make sure that it's connected to the only Christian conservative cell phone company in the nation.
	That's Patriot Mobile.
	It's the one I use.
	Why?
	Well, how about this?
	They donate millions of dollars to causes like the First Amendment, the Second Amendment, protecting the unborn.
	Unlike the big three who are woke, who are left-wing, who give millions of dollars to, well, Planned Parenthood, foundations that are censoring conservatives and trying to cancel them, or gun control organizations, switch today.
	Join the good guys.
	It's as easy as calling 972-PATRIOT or going to patriotmobile.com slash gawker.
	First month is on me for free.
	Extra discounts for veterans and first responders.
	972-728-7468.
	patriotmobile.com slash gorka.
	All right.
	All right.
	Well, he technically doesn't have the job for another 60 days.
	Yeah, but, you know, he's picking cabinet members, doing all kinds of stuff.
	Well, if what they're saying is true, then Elon's also really high up in his inner circle now, so it's kind of a nice little...
	Little junket.
	We played everything, right?
	No, Barnacle, oh my gosh.
	We also didn't play Bill Maher, 13.
	Yeah, yeah, yeah.
	Fair enough.
	Do you want to do Barnacle here?
	No, come in with Maher so I can slag him off.
	Alright, come in with 13.
	Alright, 45 seconds.
	Thank you.
	Thank you.
	is when you're in a hole, stop digging.
	You just lost a crazy contest to an actual crazy person.
	What a shocker that the people who see everything through the lens of race and sex see their election loss as a result of racism and sexism.
	Yes, if only we weren't so irredeemably unenlightened, we would have elected a black president by now.
	Oh what, we did?
	Asked if racism is built into our society.
	White progressives agreed with that at higher levels than black and Hispanic people.
	They don't want your pity.
	And black people can't afford to indulge rich white people's need to endlessly flagellate themselves.
	They just want prices to go down and good jobs and the police when you call them.
	Yeah, but they're not going to do it, are they, Bill?
	They're just going to keep on digging and misdiagnose it.
	Here's one of your liberal buddies, Mike Barnacle, saying, well, we know why we lost.
	It's so unfair.
	I don't know how they make themselves, how we make ourselves relevant again, because we can't compete with 20-second snippets on an iPhone, walking up the street, getting your entire news digest of the day in less than a minute on your phone as you're walking into the crowd with coffee in one hand and your phone in the getting your entire news digest of the day in less than I don't know how we catch up to that.
	Yeah.
	Oh really?
	Jeff, they can't compete.
	I guess technically everything they post has to be more than 20 seconds.
	Is there some kind of law that doesn't allow Democrats to post anything that's short on social media?
	It's because there's less lies in those 20 second clips that he's talking about than they say.
	The fact is, it's not just about social media.
	What's the most effective thing?
	Yeah, of course, the Joe Rogan interview and Theo Bond and everything else.
	Ask anybody who's worked on a campaign and actually won.
	What's the most important thing in a campaign?
	What another human being says to you.
	And not a random person that knocked on your door, but somebody whose opinion you value.
	When somebody whose opinion you value is shared, Then that's the most powerful.
	Somebody you went to school with, somebody you worked with, a neighbor, an individual who you'd ask advice on for other issues.
	When that person says, you know, there's a reason your mortgage is doubled.
	There's a reason that insurance is sky high and you can't afford the groceries you used to afford.
	It's not just about social media, Mike, but you just keep on believing that.
	Keep telling yourself that, that it's social media, it's the racist blacks, it's the stupid Hispanics, just like the Democrats have said for the last 14 days.
	You keep on saying that, Mike Barnacle, The View, Joe Mika.

	What happened 14 days ago?
	What can you expect for the next 60?
	And then the four years thereafter.
	Stay on this channel. Stay on this channel.
	Stay on this channel.
	So we can show you that as well.
	We just bring that out here.
	Harris overperforming 2020.
	Holy smokes.
	There you go.
	So let this go away and see if there's anything on the east side there.
	Literally nothing?
	Literally nothing.
	Literally not one county?
	Literally, but...
	But they told me she was going to win.
	And then it was neck and neck.
	So how did she not get one county?
	Poor Jakey when you start believing your own gaslighting.
	Perhaps one of the most glorious moments from two weeks ago today.
	Apart from the one when President Trump walked out onto the stage with his whole MAGA crew and said...
	I'm going to be your 47th, oh, as well as your 45th president.
	How did it happen?
	What does it mean for just the next two years, not necessarily the four?
	Because, yeah, we've got elections every two.
	Let's unpack it all with our dear, dear friend.
	A bit of a troublemaker, but we love him more the more for it.
	The one and only Razor Fist.
	Welcome back, buddy.
	Yes, indeed.
	I can't believe the guy that Chris Christie had five bucks on winning.
	All right, we're going to need...
	Okay, Eric, in the background, get me the best cut of Chris Christie, work with Jeff, because we have not danced on Chris Christie's political grave in the last 14 days, and he deserves it.
	Razor, let's start with the fact that people love it when you come on my show.
	Just the...
	The analysis, the speed, the iconoclastic attitude.
	So I'm just going to tug my forelock at you before we start this interview.
	Before we proceed with the big picture, oh, by the way, check out the Rageaholic channel on YouTube now, now, now, now, now.

	So you are in Carrie Lake State.
	Yeah.
	Would you give us an update from the ground?
	Because I have the figures in front of me.
	It's kind of like Biden math.
	It's like Bidenomics math, that President Trump gets 1.7 million in the state of Arizona, and Carrie Lake, who presented herself to me in the depths of COVID when I first met her maybe three or four years ago, as the most recognizable newscaster face In the state for the last 20 years, she only gets 1.6 million.
	So 100,000 votes disappeared.
	So President Trump gets 1.7 million in the state.
	Carrie Lake gets 1.6.
	What's going on, Razor Fist?
	What's the intel from the ground?
	Well, they're still counting.
	Does that tell you anything?
	You know, the interesting thing is I made a video after the 2018 election, which is really when Arizona elections went pear-shaped.
	paying attention to what's going on in this 2018 race and we had a similar kind of senate election where on election night with 99 of precincts reporting martha mcsally was ahead by what at one point she was ahead by three and um in a state that prides itself on being able to count all mail-in ballot elections and i'm quoting the maricopa recorder at the time adrian fontes
	on the morning of election day he somehow found 150 000 extra mail-in ballots and suddenly it was the script was flipped and Kirsten cinema, uh, Can I share a personal story?
	This is giving me PTSD. I was living in Hungary, the land of my parents' birth, and I spent 15 years there.
	And I worked in the first conservative administration there after communism.
	I created a think tank with my wife.
	And I lived in a little village outside of Budapest.
	And the conservatives in the village said, you know what?
	We need to get rid of the commies.
	And would you run for mayor?
	And I'm thinking, you know, I speak kitchen Hungarian.
	I only moved here about 10 years ago.
	But what the heck?
	Let's get rid of the commies.
	And I can remember being at my campaign manager's home watching the TV. As in the local, you know, public access, as I'd won the mayoral election, and then, magically, exactly 100 ballots were found.
	An even hundred that took my 90-vote lead away from me and re-elected a former communist.
	Weird that it should be happening in America, Razor.
	Well, it's third world time.
	That's what's going on.
	I called it the dress rehearsal for 2020, that election.
	And it's interesting because Arizona, very, very red state, we had just passed a bunch of election reforms and then...
	And this is why everybody kind of smells a rad.
	At the same time our elections get a little sketchier, Democrats get more competitive in the state.
	Although that narrative died.
	So put us into context.
	And it is known conventionally as a red state.
	So what happened?
	Was this 18 a kind of...
	Did Mark Elias parachute in some operatives?
	Was this a petri dish for 2020?
	As a resident...
	What happened in that, or was it just incompetence of the GOP? Oh, it's all those facts.
	Let me check all those boxes.
	It was every single one of those.
	Also, it was the Zuck box.
	It was the Mark Zuckerberg pack.
	He actually offered, not only did he funnel all this money into these blue races, but he offered to pay the legal fees of any Arizona election official accused of malfeasance.
	Wow.
	So, that'll tend to set the temperature a little bit going forward.
	So, yeah, that's kind of what Carrie Lake's been up against.
	And I guess we'll never know with her being down by what is it a point, not even quite two points.
	We'll never know if the money Mitch McConnell spent on Hogan's race might have been down.
	So let's talk about her competitor, Gallegos, this guy who magically managed to get his divorce papers sealed during this period.
	I think it was $110 million in attack ads spent against Carrie Lake.
	And talk to us about how Mitch McConnell helped Carrie.
	Well, do you want to read off the total tally of what he spent on a race?
	I think it's a pretty quick bit of arithmetic.
	That would be zero dollars.
	That would be zero dollars.
	She really was...
	Either they believed false internal polls or whatever.
	Either way, they were just wrong.
	She wound up being separated by Gallego by a point.
	And that is the kind of difference that you absolutely could have made up by having some proper advertising.
	I mean, just speaking for myself...
	I never saw a single Carrie Lake ad on television in this day.
	Not a pro Carrie Lake.
	And her name recognition, her rallies, Trump campaigning for her and her campaigning for Trump a couple of times, that's pretty much all that carried her at all.
	And she almost got there.
	She still almost got there.
	There's this narrative after the election of her being a bad candidate, but if you compare her to the previous Senate Yes.
	Before him, it was Martha McSally who lost by three, twice, and Kelly Ward, I forget what she lost by, but more than a point, she's a very, very good candidate, actually.
	She just got no support.
	Nor did she get much support for her election lawsuits.
	That's the thing I find most impressive about her, is she fought after the gubernatorial election was stolen from her.
	She actually went to court and fought.
	And I wouldn't blame her for not doing it this time, though, seeing the support she got last time.
	But you said something very interesting before we went on air.
	You said something about the yarn signs in Arizona.
	Yeah, and that's another thing that people don't understand outside the state is there were no Ruben Gallego yard signs, right?
	I mean, you could maybe go to Democratic headquarters and get one, but the most popular Ruben Gallego sign and the one you would see all over Phoenix was a Ruben Gallego Kamala Harris sign.
	They were absolutely put together as a package deal.
	In retrospect, who knows, maybe that was more so to help Kamala.
	But regardless, if you go around Phoenix and people haven't taken down their yard signs in certain neighborhoods...
	All you'll see are Gallego Harris yard signs.
	Which reinforces the fact that it's all the more suspicious that President Trump wins by 100,000 over Kamala, but the senatorial Democrat candidate wins.
	OK, if you had to bet money right now, is it the $120 million of attack ads and Mitch doing nothing?
	If you had to choose one univalent answer, is it corrupt, ineffective GOP not supporting her?
	What does Razor Fist say about why Carrie Lake lost?
	Well, look, you have to deal with Democrat shenanigans in every single election.
	Right.
	But you have to support your candidates.
	It's both, but I think it's the latter more so.
	It's the lack of support.
	You can overcome some of these shenanigans if you properly fund and support your candidates, support their races.
	And the GOP, the national GOP, had no interest in picking up this Senate seat.
	Unbelievable.
	That much is obvious.
	They would have rather had a Jeff Flake type, a John McCain type.
	And in lieu of that, we'll just pay off this Democrat.
	You have to understand the Uniparty would rather have a pliable Democrat than a belligerent conservative.
	That's just always how it's been.
	Well, Mitch is out.
	We'll talk about his replacement next and so much more.
	But make sure you're following our guest Razor Fist on the Arranger-Holic channel and check out his graphic novel, The Ghost of the Badlands.
	It's our latest, latest piece of MAGA gear announced yesterday.
	Comes from one of you, our day callers.
	It's President Trump.
	Driving the garbage truck up to the White House.
	I dearly hope on January the 20th he does that.
	After he walks down Constitution Avenue, get in the dump truck, roll it up to the White House and say, we're taking out the trash.

	So that's how we will win.
	If anything, would you have done something differently than President Biden during the past four years?
	I There is not a thing that comes to mind, and I've been a part of most of the decisions that have had impact.
	Even the Crypt Keeper!
	What's his name?
	What's that guy's name, Eric?
	The guy who always has the hoodie on, who looks like he's anorexic and skeletal.
	Who's that Democrat?
	Oh, Carville.
	Even Carville said, that was the moment the campaign was, well, committed suicide.
	When Sonny hosted on The View, he says, Kamala, what would you do differently?
	Nothing.
	Yeah, well, then we're not going to re-elect you because you'd be a continuation of the disastrous Biden campaign.
	Is it that simple?
	We'll unpack in a moment.
	So, Reza, look, we can't oversimplify these things, but we must draw the requisite conclusions for the next election and the election after that and build upon what we achieved two weeks ago.
	So...
	Is it really that I wouldn't do anything differently?
	Or was it thinking that you have to spend, you know, a billion dollars on Beyonce, on Oprah, on people who have nothing to do with the working class?
	What is, give me a couple of the most important mistakes the Democrats made, and then I'll ask you some of the most important things that the Trump campaign did differently this time.
	I mean, it was simple.
	You could fit $100 worth of groceries in a single bag.
	You know, it's the daily realities.
	It might just be the old Bill Clinton axiom of it's the economy stupid.
	Just a little bit.
	And she couldn't have been more tone deaf.
	Right.
	And if listening to Beyonce is any indication, conventionally deaf as well.
	But it honestly was that kind of thing.
	It was kind of a...
	Do you agree there was kind of a let them eat cake Marie Antoinette line?
	Oh, absolutely.
	I mean, I've talked about it so many times.
	It was after the, like, early primary vote or something six months ago in Virginia.
	And as a Virginia resident, I saw this clip of Jen Psaki, Rachel Maddow, and Joy Reid.
	And they were being given the exit polling from Virginia.
	And one of them said, I don't understand it.
	The respondents are saying their number one concern, because it was going towards the Trump candidate, their number one concern is immigration.
	And then Jen Psaki, Biden's press secretary, says, I live in Virginia.
	We don't border.
	We're not a border state.
	And then Rachel Maddow says, well, maybe it's the border with West Virginia.
	And all three of them, like the Stygian witches, start cackling and laughing.
	And it's like, It's not one Marie Antoinette, it's three Marie Antoinettes.
	How would a Virginian care about millions of illegals?
	So what we're saying, Razor, is just the complete and utter hermetic separation from the average American?
	Yeah, yeah.
	Their only real rejoinder to it was, oh, but look at this chart.
	It's like, yeah, but look at my daily reality.
	I'm not hurting for money, but I do every time I leave the grocery store.
	And if you don't have someone shopping for you, that tends to be your daily reality.
	There just wasn't a cognizance of the daily reality of everyday Americans.
	And it was across the board on every issue.
	The border, look at, oh, a cartel took over one apartment building.
	It's just a couple of apartment buildings.
	Just a couple.
	Like, there's an upper limit on how many of these apartment buildings can be taken over by the Sinaloa cartel.
	You know what I mean?
	Just tone deaf, across the board.
	It didn't matter what the concern was.
	It was always invalid because, well, hey, look at this chart.
	You know what I mean?
	When that's your only response, and incidentally, how ironic is it that a chart may have saved democracy?
	Oh my gosh, at Butler, Pennsylvania.
	Absolutely.
	We might have to reprise that video as well.
	Okay, so on the other side, it was, some say, a significantly different Trump campaign.
	What were the most significant tweaks or modifications in your opinion?
	You can kind of see it in the picking of the cabinet a little bit already.
	There's just a different attitude in general.
	I feel like generally he had a much greater grasp on optics.
	We talked about the garbage truck a couple of weeks ago and like it was it was just one kill shot after another.
	There was no tennis serve that he wasn't ready to just bat back into their court and usually spiked it.
	And it was it really was the garbage comment immediately gets into the garbage truck.
	It didn't take him 15 minutes.
	That wouldn't have happened, I feel like, in 2020.
	There just wasn't...
	I... It's a shame in a way that the election in 2020 was so suspicious because there were legit flaws in the Trump campaign in 2020 that we weren't able to talk about because we had to fixate on the elephant in the room that wasn't being addressed.
	And honestly, he really adjusted really well.
	I don't know if it was just the campaign manager.
	It was clearly Barron Trump, obviously.
	With all the podcast blitz, right?
	No, that did help, though.
	No kidding.
	But honestly, if Baron keeps growing, is there even going to be room in the cabinet?
	Let's be real.
	Five minutes ago, he was like four foot nothing.
	Now he's higher than Pelosi's eyebrows.
	We didn't get a chance to evaluate the campaign in 2020 because of the theft.
	What about this?
	I had, I believe, a genius caller who said it's good that they stole 2020 because otherwise you wouldn't have had tens of millions of Americans red-pilled with, you know, the raid on Mar-a-Lago, the assassination attempts.
	Bannon and Navarro in prison, grandmas being given custodial sentences.
	It took that level of corruption for people to vote even more decisively.
	What do you think of that response?
	Yeah, it was like hitting an electoral refresh button in a weird way.
	He doesn't get a mandate.
	Even if he wins the popular vote and the electoral vote in 2020, he almost doesn't get the same mandate that he gets now.
	It's not just the electoral college and the popular vote, although you can see they keep counting and that popular vote total keeps going down.
	But regardless, you know, that's not why it feels like he has a mandate.
	It feels like he has a mandate because the energy has clearly shifted.
	Yes.
	Like when you have football players in the NFL, the very, very woke NFL doing the Trump dance in the end zone.
	And they're actually airing it and whatever.
	It's obvious that the temperature has shifted, the mood has changed, period.
	And even as you announce the cabinet picks and whatnot, it's not the same level of acrimony.
	Because I feel like the media just doesn't even have the footing.
	It's like we have the energy and also they've lost the energy.
	It's that kind of double whammy.
	We're talking to RazorFist, the host of the superlative Rageaholic channel on YouTube.
	Look for the Rageaholic.
	The news cycle.
	I told you guys, right?
	I told you.
	The news cycle is going to get even worse and even insane and moving at Mac 12.

	You can watch the show, especially for our movie reviews on Fridays.
	And don't forget my Substack original analyses at sebastiangorka.substack.com.
	My write-up of what it was like at Mar-a-Lago two weeks ago on election night is up there, sebastiangorka.substack.com.
	We see something that said, take a look at what happened.
	What are you doing?
	What are you doing?
	We need to keep playing that.
	Even after the victory, we need to keep playing that.
	So, let's talk about, I think we have the image of the cabinet picks, the nominations from Gates to Waltz, Tulsi, Elon, Vivek, Tom Homan, Kristi Noem, Pete Hegseth, John Ratcliffe, on and on and on, Mike Waltz as a national security advisor.
	Let's look at this.
	I want you to get your crystal ball out, Razor.
	I haven't discussed this with the president.
	I was at an event at Mar-a-Lago on Friday with my best friend, and I'll say one thing, and I mentioned this yesterday on Monday.
	I hadn't seen the president smile At Mar-a-Lago when he spoke, I haven't seen him smile like that for maybe five years.
	There was this kind of, yes, we did it, America won.
	This kind of completely unburdened smile.
	But then I look at the last 14 days, and I haven't confirmed this with him, but I just analyze it from the outside.
	And I look at people I know, like Pete Hegseth, like Matt Gaetz, and I say, He's not compromising.
	He understands he's got maybe 24 months, you know, given what happens in the next election, and he's going to do whatever it takes to get people in there who, like himself, have been targeted.
	Butler, Pennsylvania may be part of that, that he will brook no compromise.
	Are you sensing the same kind of levels of determination?
	There's no confirmation, but we're hearing that President Trump is going to say, okay, Thun, you want to play silly buggers?
	We're going to have recess appointments.
	Are we going to have recess appointments, Razor Fist?
	Yeah, I feel like he's going to push through kind of whatever he wants to in this little period.
	But isn't it nice hearing about a Trump cabinet, honestly?
	If matters had taken a different turn, if that bullet had been just a fraction to the right, we'd be talking about Kamala's wine cabinet instead.
	And I say, some of the appointments so far, I mean, like...
	It's interesting.
	You're seeing already some of the purity testing, like Washington Examiner put out a stink piece about, oh, RFK doesn't belong anywhere near...
	I refuse to quote Washington Examiner for the last five years because they're never Trumpers.
	They pretend to be conservatives, but they're funded by a billionaire never Trumper.
	I can't stand those people.
	But do you think the picks indicate that January 20th, hardball with a titanium ball?
	Oh, absolutely.
	Yeah.
	And actually, I think it's the broadness of the coalition being reflected in his cabinet that's the major indicator of that.
	I mean, you would know this better than most people.
	His first administration was almost like a lot of the better people, Bannon and whatnot, were like wild men from the hills.
	You know what I mean?
	They knew how politics was done, but they weren't of the system, right?
	way he paid for that the cabinet did it had a lot of drama it whatever yeah this time i feel like it's a more direct reflection of the mandate it's a more direct reflection of the electorate that got him there i think that's going to make it a little bit more bulletproof going forward now that everything's because we're just saying we got the mandate and we're going to proceed with the We're not going to say, oh, well, he's a retired four-star, therefore he must be good.
	No, no, no, no, no.
	We're going to go full throttle.
	We're going to make Stephen Miller the Homeland Security Advisor in the White House.
	He's not just going to be running immigration.
	He's going to be the big boss.
	I mean, it's just...
	Oh, yeah.
	The last 14 days, again, I'm not inside, I'm not part of the negotiations and the choosing of the candidates, but I get this sense that, okay, I don't care what the media says, and I don't care what the Senate says either, Razor.
	Oh, yeah.
	And you can see it in the cabinet.
	But like our new borders are what a vast improvement, not least of which because he doesn't appear to be a day drinker compared to the last borders are.
	And I love how so this is what I'm talking about.
	He's so matter of factly, he responds to the media's just obviously loaded questions about deportations.
	Like, yeah, we're going to deport the families together.
	In fact, I'm going to strap him to a trebuchet bolt and fire him back over the border.
	What are you going to do about it, lady?
	Sit there with your clipboard and spin?
	Like, this dude, he must have balls the size of Alpha Centauri.
	It's unbelievable.
	We love Tom Holman, and he's got CBP, HSI, they're going to be in the sanctuary cities at 12.01 on January the 20th, because he has seen the toll on this nation after 34 years serving six presidents, and he will not compromise.
	I'm Sebastian Gorka.
	This is America's First One on One, coming to you from the reliefactor.com studios, just outside the insalubrious, fetid, rank, meloderous swamp that is Washington, D.C. It's time to celebrate.
	Have you done so?
	I did.
	I waited 12 days until my first cigar after the election, and it tasted all the better for it.
	And it was one of mine, the Liberty range of Dr.
	G cigars.
	Get yours today.
	The latest is the Teddy Roosevelt.
	I searched years for a cigar worthy of being on our America First website, and this is the one.
	Get yours today and celebrate, or buy a box for...
	Your favorite friend who enjoys a cigar now and again.
	The Teddy Roosevelt Dr.
	G Liberty range at sebgorkastore.com.
	That's S-E-B-G-O-R-K-A, sebgorkastore.com.
	Okay, Razor Fist, let's look at...
	Firstly, what happens...
	So I had somebody explain it to me thusly over the weekend, who is seasoned and knows the workings of the swamp, and he said, Thune et al, and these other scumbags who are saying, yes, the House must provide us the Matt Gaetz ethics report, as if there's no balance in checks, as if the Senate can ride roughshod over the Speaker of the House and there's no separation...
	This person said, this is flexing.
	This is just the Senate saying, look, we want to look like we're in charge.
	But at the end of the day, after somebody says, yes, you are really very handsome, Mr.
	Leader of the Senate, they will comply.
	I'm not so sure, Razor Fist.
	I think...
	The ingrained RINO establishment, Mitch McConnell's 2.0, 3.0, are still in that building.
	So what is your prediction?
	Will the president ignore them, ride roughshod?
	Will they make a lot of noise for the next 61 days and then, you know, confirm the president's picks?
	Has MAGA arrived at the Senate or not?
	Absolutely.
	Not in the numbers that you really, really needed.
	But you saw consistently throughout this election cycle, GOP were running way, way, way behind Trump.
	Just across the board.
	Across the board.
	Didn't matter how good the candidate was.
	But the more Trumpy the candidate was, the more competitive they were, right?
	So you're kind of in a situation where the GOP are trying to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.
	The difference is, though...
	Man, back in 2016, you still had the McCains.
	You still had the Reigns.
	You still had the Jeff Flakes.
	The ones who would actually take subversive action, vote for Obamacare, and all of this stuff.
	That kind of species is gone, are you saying?
	They are gone.
	There's not many of them.
	I mean, there's some left, but not in the numbers that they need to really throw a monkey wrench into the works.
	That, to me, is the most exciting thing about the inbound Trump administration is...
	A lot of that dead weight is gone.
	You're not gonna get John McCain getting up off his deathbed to save Obamacare after promising his voters that he'd kill it, right?
	That's not...
	Nobody in the Roman Senate can brandish the knife and come up behind Caesar because that person's not there anymore.
	So I'm interested to see what's going to happen now that you've at least got a few more MAGA candidates and at least a few non-Jeff Flake, non-Romney type candidates.
	Because once you wind up with that situation, now...
	The mandate becomes kind of an uber mandate.
	We'll see.
	Look, Trump's a great communicator.
	He's a master deal maker, as you know.
	And if he can deal with his own side on the GOP and bring them in and finally make them see that it's beneficial to them longer term and to the party after he's gone, because he's not going to be here forever.
	He's a generational figure.
	He's not going to be able to pull these guys up forever.
	That if they fall in with that program, It's going to benefit them in the longer run.
	And if you had to put money on it, is the man who wrote The Art of the Deal going to be able to get them in the next 61 days to say, yes, sir, okay, sir?
	Well, like Chris Christie, I'd put $5 on it.
	Chris Christie.
	Hey, don't scoff at that.
	That's like a whole Twinkie for him.
	Don't worry about it.
	Yeah, but how long does a Twinkie last with Chris Christie?
	That's true!
	Right?
	One Twinkie will get stuck between his teeth.
	I wish we could discuss this at greater length, but let's just put this one headline up from, of course, the commies in the UK at The Guardian.
	Mark Milley fears being court-martialed if Trump wins.
	Well, he did win, and it is being floated, not by official sources or named sources, that people don't realize.
	If you served in the military, you can be reactivated at any point.
	So Milley can be reactivated, and he can stand in a military tribunal, in a court-martial.
	He can be stripped of his rank.
	He can be sent to Fort Leavenworth for colluding...
	Not only with the Chinese Chairman of the Joint Chiefs equivalent, but also for ordering the combatant commanders not to listen to President Trump, which is criminal.
	That is against the Constitution.
	The National Security Act that created the position of the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs is explicit.
	He's an advisor to the President and he's not in the chain of command.
	He has no position in the chain of command.
	I love this idea.
	Maybe I'm a little bit too hardcore.
	Is this wise?
	Would this scenario be wise for the president?
	I think so.
	I'm not asking you whether you'd like it, Razor Fist.
	I'm asking whether it would be wise.
	You said you could be activated.
	It certainly activated me.
	Let me just throw that out there.
	Actually, can we just hold another election so I can vote for Trump all over again, just hearing that?
	But yeah, you're going to see some of that.
	Honestly, I'm interested.
	I know it's been wonderful seeing magnanimous Trump sitting down with Biden, but I kind of can't wait to see bitter, vengeful Trump.
	Let's go.
	In the words of Kamala, can we turn the page?
	Get over to bitter, vengeful Trump.
	But isn't this exactly, isn't this how we as a nation, if we're patriots, unburdened ourselves from what has gone before?
	From what has been.
	I mean, Mark Milley standing in a court-martial is how we unburden ourselves from what has gone before.
	I mean, we're just doing what Kamala told us to do.
	Yeah, yeah.
	And...
	How many people?
	Comey's made statements.
	Of course, Michael Cohen saying he's going to flee the country.
	I don't think he wound up doing it.
	Did you see his stream on election night, by the way?
	Oh, with the turkey?
	You know what the most delightful thing is?
	The guy, I said, is this real?
	These cartoon turkeys being put on Mike Cohen's Instagram stream?
	And you know, on the show, I said, is this real?
	And if it is, who did it?
	The guy who did it, he wants to stay anonymous, DM'd me on Twitter, and he said, it cost him $100 a graphic, but he said, I don't care.
	I need that turkey on Michael Cohen's head.
	I mean, these are the heroes that make your heart feel warm, right, Razor Fist?
	Yeah.
	Just a quick salute.
	Yes, absolutely.
	It's just incredible, too, because a lot of these people have gone radio silent.
	We talked about Chris Christie.
	He hasn't said a word since the election, right?
	Like Rob Reiner.
	Oh, but hang on, hang on, hang on.
	Don't forget, I sent this to my colleague, Eric.
	Sonny Hostin, who helped to destroy Kamala's campaign, we found out yesterday she's deleted her Twitter account.
	How are we going to survive Razor Fist?
	Sonny Hostin has deleted her Twitter account.
	Yeah, and Bono of U2, he was supposed to drive his car off a cliff.
	What happened to that?
	Somebody get this man his car keys.
	I'll pay for the rental.
	I'll pay for the rental.
	We're talking to Razor Fist.
	He's going to get Rob Reiner a Zippo.
	Oh, yeah.
	Let's start with Rob Reiner.
	I'll buy you the ticket.
	You'll probably need two seats on economy class.
	I'm talking to RazorFist.
	This is Dr.
	G. This is why I've been saying for a long time that he's unfit to be president of the United States.
	Now, it's one thing, and I think it's right for a president to say to a NATO member, hey, you've got to pay the dues you need to pay.
	I think the American people would expect that of a president.
	But the problem with Donald Trump is he can't just stop there.
	He's got to say, I would encourage Russia to do whatever the hell they wanted to you.
	That is absolutely inappropriate for a President of the United States or a candidate for President of the United States to be saying.
	But it is consistent with his love for dictators.
	It's inappropriate.
	Do you think it poses a national security risk to make that kind of a comment?
	What poses a national security risk is the possibility that he could be president of the United States again.
	That's what poses the national security risk.
	I think his girth poses a risk to the gravitational forces of the universe.
	Chris Christie...
	I'm just going to play that clip again and again and again.
	If...
	Raise a fist.
	I know you're a man of God.
	I like to think I am.
	I'm a pretty poor Christian because I just want them to wallow in their hatred of their fellow Americans and I want to be the person turning the rotisserie spit.
	I want to be that person.
	Tell me what is the most effective because everybody from the Lincoln Project on down needs to have Like the dog that craps in the house, I want to grab them by the muzzle and rub it in what they have done.
	What is the best way to do that, please?
	Raise a fist.
	I mean, you can have any standards at all.
	Like, have you noticed there's just a vast disparity between how the right and the left police their own side?
	Yes.
	Right?
	If a leftist forgets to add a single letter to the increasingly convoluted LGBT, BLP, QYA symbol for Boron, they're instantly voted off Woke's Gold Island.
	But over on the right, Ann Coulter can crap battery acid all over Trump for four years and still score interviews on election night as if she had a solitary thing to do with it.
	All I have to say to Ann Coulter is, why the long face?
	But no, you've got to rub their nose in it.
	We don't have any standards at all.
	You can already see the left are circling the wagons two weeks ago.
	They're already saying, oh, well, this popular vote, well, it's not really a popular vote.
	I mean...
	They've doubled down Razor Fist.
	They've doubled down.
	Some of the smarter ones, you know, like some of the smarter ones are catching on a little bit.
	You know, two weeks ago, Bill Maher was predicting a nationwide Kamala sweep.
	Now he's pinching out the softest rants this side of like a Mr.
	Rogers episode where he gently admonishes his own side.
	All right, give me a tip.
	Give me a tip.
	What is the best way that I can rub their noses in it?
	What are you going to do for the next two years or four years?
	So what would you do if you were me?
	Once I'm done gloating?
	I don't know.
	I mean, honestly, you need to point out what their prior positions were.
	I've done this with some people on the right already.
	My post-election video was mostly screenshots of people who were ostensibly on the right.
	who tried to get us to go with DeSantis.
	Nothing wrong with DeSantis.
	You and me talked about DeSantis when he was running in the primaries, but I don't think we witnessed this if DeSantis is the candidate.
	You don't get the popular vote.
	I mean, you probably don't even get the Electoral College, but you don't get the popular vote.
	All right, we've only just scratched the surface.
	You've got to follow this man.
