We'll be right back.
We'll be right back.
We'll be right back.
I'm telling you, what a solid national security team.
Happy Monday.
I do believe it is Monday.
Greetings, friends.
Is it a bit weird to play a clip, open the show with another host on another network?
No, not at all.
Because Mark Levin is the great one.
He's a patriot.
He's a warrior.
Wow, would it be nice to see him in the Trump administration 2.0.
That was Friday, moments after it was announced.
Your humble host will be returning to the White House as Deputy Assistant to the President and Senior Director for Counterterrorism.
It is the highest honor of my professional career to be in charge of counterterrorism for National Security Advisor Mike Waltz, Colonel Waltz, the first Green Beret to serve in Congress, a man who I campaigned for.
Before he won that seat.
And of course, for the incoming Commander-in-Chief, my former boss, the man you chose, Donald Trump.
It's tough to make this announcement because as of...
What?
January the 1st.
I would have been in this chair for six years, but I've been doing counterterrorism since 19, well, let's just say 30 years.
It has been an honor to work with warfighters at National Defense University, where I was Associate Dean for relations to the Special Operations Community and to Congress, then the Marine Corps University, where I held the Matthew C. Horner Chair of Military then the Marine Corps University, where I held the Matthew C. Horner Chair of Military Theory, and then all the work that I've been honored to be able to execute for the Green Berets, the JF Kennedy School at Fort Bragg,
Now we're going to do it for what portends to be the most significant presidential administration of the modern age.
Let me just play to you a short clip from the president.
What was this?
Maybe a week?
Eric, what was this?
This was Friday before last.
I can't keep track of the time.
How many months ago was this?
That was two weeks ago.
This was two weeks ago.
I was at Mar-a-Lago for the incredible Mercedes and Matt Schlapp CPAC celebrations for the American Conservative Union.
And then my former boss spotted me.
Look at Sebastian.
We're working on giving him a very big position, but let's not tell anybody, okay?
We're working.
He's great.
He's been loyal from day one.
That guy didn't stop.
Right, Sebastian?
Even that red hat, you look so happy in that hat.
I was happy because I've been smiling nonstop since the morning of November the 5th.
And as I was standing there listening to the president and he made that announcement, which he told, don't tell anybody as somebody's filming it.
It wasn't my phone.
I get a text from Colonel, from Representative Mike Waltz, saying, I need to see you now, the already announced National Security Advisor.
And so I had to sneak out of that speech with the President, find Mike, find Colonel Waltz, Congressman Waltz, inside Mar-a-Lago, where I was formally offered the position for Senior Director of Counterterrorism.
And thank you, Mike.
And thank you, Mr. President.
I'm not going anywhere for a while, guys, so calm down.
I will be in this chair three hours a day until the very last moment I can.
But let me send you a message from the man I will be working for between me and the president, Mike Waltz.
Wow.
Can we get some more Green Berets on Capitol Hill?
Because he's got a message for every evil, evil regime and organization out there.
Incoming National Security Advisor, Mike Waltz.
And I also want to be clear on one thing, Jillian.
Jake and I, Jake Sullivan and I have had discussions, we've met.
For our adversaries out there that think this is a time of opportunity, that they can play one administration off the other, they're wrong.
And we are hand in glove.
We are one team with the United States in this transition.
That is good.
Now is not the time to try anything.
That's Mike Waltz, National Security Advisor-designate.
A man who does not have to be approved by the Senate.
Neither does his deputy, Alex Wong, who I've already had wonderful discussions with, and neither do I. As of 12.01, actually probably, I think constitutionally it's 12 o'clock, as President Trump will raise his hand one more time...
In front of the Capitol, and with his other hand on the Bible, take the oath of office for the chief executive, for the commander in chief, the man who is the embodiment of the executive as the 47th and not just the 45th president of the United States.
We will be on deck.
Mike, Alex, myself, the team Mike is bringing in to the National Security Council.
We will be turning things around.
President Trump is very clear.
He loves America.
He believes in America.
Mike has bled for America.
And we will make things right.
With people like Tom Homan as the Board of Tsar, with Governor Noam at the Department of Homeland Security, with Senator Rubio at the State Department, with John Radcliffe at the CIA, hopefully with Kash Patel at the FBI and Pam Bondi at the DOJ. Just the choice of these names sends a very clear message.
It's not just a new sheriff or the return of the former sheriff.
It is a team that understands one thing.
America is the greatest nation on God's green earth.
It is the zenith of Judeo-Christian civilization and those who wish to undermine our civilization from the inside or those who wish to destroy it from the outside Well, they will have met their match.
Now is not the time to try and exploit the window of a lame duck presidency, because should that occur, the cost for the enemies of Judeo-Christian civilization will be all the greater once President Trump is sworn back into his position and takes his rightful place behind the resolute desk.
As I said when I was in the first Trump White House, when I was asked as strategist to the president, what is the 45th president's national security and foreign affairs stance?
What is his message to the world?
I had just spent two and a half years in Quantico, at the crossroads of the Marine Corps, teaching our devil dogs, God bless our leathernecks, and I stole their motto.
Under President Trump's leadership, no better friend, no worse enemy.
The warning order has been given.
America is back as of 12.01 on January 20th.
If you want to be our friend, if you share our values, then you can be our friend, our ally, our partner.
Whether you are Israel, whether you are the UK, whether you are members of the NATO Alliance or our friends in Asia and elsewhere, we'll stand shoulder to shoulder against evil.
And if you are an evil regime, if you are a terrorist organization...
Well, the game is going to be very, very, very different.
If you want to know what it's going to be like, look at the first four years under President Trump and then magnify it a thousandfold.
I'm Sebastian Gorka, former strategist to the 45th President of the United States and proud to be part of his incoming administration with Mike Waltz and all the other patriots.
God bless all of you.
I think the call board is full.
I might have to take some calls.
But first, we're going to celebrate with our good friend, Sean Davis.
Then we're going to talk to our good friend, Alex Marlowe, Eric Metaxas, my Salem colleague, and so much more.
Stay on this channel.
Had to read this from the Rumble chat.
Grail Moon says, You've made the last three hours of my workday bearable for years now.
Do me a favor and get Hanson to replace you.
Thank you, Grail Moon.
That's great.
You should read that on there.
That's fun.
All right, will do.
Yeah, your show does coincide with the end of most work days, work hours.
Mm-hmm.
Mm-hmm.
All right.
so you title for lee and for that three minutes so
so President, what is this, Davis?
It is.
It's your special day today.
Because my daughter and my wife were saying yesterday, they went out shopping and they said, we have no idea what to get you for Christmas because you're so hard to choose for and you have everything you want.
I guess they must have spoken to Jack.
So what are your plans?
What are you going to do for Thanksgiving?
I'm headed out of town tomorrow.
My family's already out with family.
So actually the real reason you got me today is the kids are gone.
Everything's taken care of.
I didn't have to like run errands or anything.
Now we know.
Now we know.
All right.
Yeah.
So much to discuss.
I want to talk about whether the Senate understands what happened three weeks ago.
We can talk about what would you like to talk about?
This Jack Smith dismissal I think is fascinating.
Yes, yes, yes, yes.
Good.
All right.
Good, good, good.
Superb.
All right.
Will you come in with...
What should we come in with?
Maybe...
Alright, I might use Cut 8 in the second segment with Sean.
I might use Bill Clinton.
That's hilarious.
But let's come in with Tom Homan.
Let's come in with 14. Then I'll do Prison Fellowship and then we'll go to Sean.
14, then Prison, then Sean.
Alrighty.
What are you going to do for Thanksgiving?
Where are you going?
Going to see my parents and my sister.
Where's that?
They are in Colorado.
Oh, I'm going to Colorado as well.
Nice.
Where are you headed?
First to Denver, and then trying to catch another flight to Steamboat Springs.
Nice.
Yep, yep, yep.
Supposed to get a little snowy there this week.
Yeah, my wife, she likes to worry, so she's very worried about the snow reports.
And I said, well, come on.
Hire an SUV, I'll drive.
It's only three hours.
Let's do it.
Let's do it.
Also, snow's nothing out there.
They're used to it.
It's like flying out of Finland.
.
.
I got a message.
As a guy who spent 34 years deporting illegal aliens, I got a message.
To the millions of illegal aliens that Joe Biden's released in our country in violation of federal law, you better start packing now.
One of the earliest picks of the incoming Trump 2.0 administration.
He is coming out of the faucet everywhere.
Turn on a media channel.
You see Tom Holman, the incoming board is there because we're sending a message to everyone who is invading our nation right now.
God bless you, Tom.
What an absolutely perfect pick.
As we head into the Thanksgiving week and then Christmas, I'd like to enroll all of you in our annual campaign for the incredible people at the Prison Fellowship Angel Tree Program.
This is where you get to make a Christmas of one of the American children who has a mother or father incarcerated a little bit brighter.
These children are very vulnerable.
More than 70% of them will end up behind bars as well.
We want to break that cycle with a Christmas gift.
A note from their mother and father in prison and a children's Bible.
It's just $30 per child.
It's one of the most beautiful things you can do this Christmas.
Please, please be generous.
Go to my website, sebgorka.com, and click on the Change a Child's Christmas banner at the top or call in your donation to 888-206-2794.
Please, please help these children to feel a little bit more love this Christmas.
S-E-B-G-O-R-K-A, sebgorka.com, and the Angel Tree banner, or call them on 888-206-2794.
What are the consequences of not just an electoral college victory, but also the popular vote mandate?
Well, for Jack Smith, as of a couple of hours ago, the consequences are rather serious.
What happened?
He has accepted the motion to drop all charges against President Trump.
Please.
Yes, thank you.
Special counsel Smith seeks to dismiss January 6th charges against President Trump.
Is the rest of the deep state and the mainstream legacy lying media and the Democrats, are they going to get the message?
Let's ask a man who knows them intimately because he uncovers their mendacity every single day.
He is the man running the Federalist co-founder, CEO, our good friend, Sean Davis.
Sean, greetings.
Welcome back.
Are you surprised that Jack Smith has surrendered to Donald Trump?
I'm actually not surprised, mainly because of the Weasley way in which he's trying to get out of it.
So if you've seen the reports or you've read his motion to dismiss it all, you'll have noticed that rather than just nuking the case entirely so it can't be brought again, he's trying to dismiss it without prejudice, which would give him or another Democrat administration the ability to bring it back in four years or eight years or even 12 years.
So even on death's door, with that absurd case, Jack Smith is still trying to play games with the law.
All right.
Well, given who he is, that's no surprise.
Let's talk about the broader left-wing morass in the mainstream media, with the odd exception, the outliers of who's that guy?
It seems to me that nobody inside the machine gets why President Trump broke his incumbency record of 74 million I know California's still counting, but at least two million extra votes.
What does that mean for the future?
Is the left just going to dig themselves deeper?
Are we just going to win every election for the next hundred years, Sean, or should we not be complacent?
Oh, we should definitely not be complacent because the left, these are busy little communists.
They're busy little Bolsheviks.
They never stop.
Even when they lose, they don't acknowledge it.
And what's interesting is they don't understand this particular election loss, no matter how much they say otherwise, because they were utterly surprised by it.
They were telling us for months and years that Joe Biden was super fit and able and mentally with it until the moment he wasn't.
And then they tossed him overboard, erased him from the photos like he's a sailor in a picture next to Stalin, and installed Kamala Harris, the joyful warrior, as she calls herself.
They were shocked by this because I think they had assumed their control of the media and their control of the election counting process in so many key states Insulated them from actual Democrat forces.
So what I expect to see from them over the next year and four years isn't a recalibration of their politics or an examination of what they push and what they believe.
I think we're going to see them double down on electioneering, on ballot games, on election rigging, because I'm not sure in an actual Democratic election where it's fair, where they don't have media controlling things, that they actually stand a chance.
And I think they may understand that at this point.
What about, we played that clip from Tom Homan, all this big talk from the Democrat governors and the mayor of Boston that they will not comply.
Well, that's a felony.
If you do not comply with, you know, illegal law enforcement actions to get illegals out of the country, is this just talk, Sean, or what should we expect when Tom Homan deploys his assets for the president on January the 20th?
I think it's mostly talk.
You've got this mayor out of Denver who I think is just trying to get himself an MSNBC contract by pretending to be big and tough.
But recall, they've spent the last four years telling us that immigration is federal responsibility.
That states like Texas have no role, that they can't do things like secure their own borders.
So for the Democrat Party in this country, which has argued against states having any role whatsoever in immigration enforcement, to come in and now say, actually, this is a federalism issue.
We're going to take over from here.
The federal government can't come in and and enforce federal law in states.
That's absurd.
I think the courts are going to laugh at it and it's not going to go anywhere, but it's not going to prevent them from trying and doing their best to gum up the whole works and throw a wrench in the gears when the enforcement actually begins to happen.
How stupid are they?
We're talking to Sean Davis, co-founder, CEO of The Federalist, TheFederalist.com.
How stupid are they that we have mainstream media reports kind of gloating already that the likes of Mark Elias are holding their war councils with left-wing foundations to have a mass lawfare assault against President Trump's deportation order?
I mean, if you're smart, you don't talk about it, you just do it.
Are we fundamentally dealing with people whose...
Well, I'll use the Hungarian phrase, could commit suicide if they jumped off their egos onto their IQs?
I don't know if I would call them smart.
They're definitely devious.
I think that's the key term to describe the left's legal movement.
And, of course, they're going to try here.
And what I found interesting post-election was the lack of riots.
They were boarding up blue cities across the country.
DC was like a plywood zone, where every window was just plywood and OSB up.
So the riots never happened.
And to me, that doesn't mean they're never going to happen, because the left shock troops are always just waiting in the wings.
So I suspect they're going to try and block deportations the same way they block so much stuff from 2016 to 2020 with strategic use of violence with Antifa, with their left-wing shock troops.
And they're going to try and create this big incident, this big sense of, oh, isn't this awful when the deportations begin through a combination of violence and lawfare?
Yeah, we're talking to Sean Davis.
You have got to follow him.
He's got a...
What shall I say?
Spicy.
Spicy X account.
At Sean M. Dav.
That's at Sean M. Dav.
Thefedris.com.
We will continue momentarily.
But make sure to follow me as well because things are moving fast.

That's my whole name, SebastianGorka.substack.com.
So we talked about Jack Smith, talked about the crazy governors, talked about the crazy governors, What shall we do here?
Cut eight.
That's too long.
It's too long.
Oh, come in with Bill Clinton.
That's funny.
Come in with nine.
Okay.
Three and a half minutes.
Oh, and then I'll play the Sarah McBride thing.
So come in with nine, then I'll do the read, then I'll tee up Tim.
What's his real name?
Tim is his real name.
Tim, sorry.
Cut four, cut four.
Yeah.
Yep.
I can't believe Jeff called it Sarah.
No way.
All right, and then we'll go to Sean.
All righty.
So how's business?
Is it good after the election?
All good?
It's good.
I mean, we're constantly fighting the censorship industrial complex.
So Google and Facebook are just trying to murder us.
So that's an ongoing battle.
But beyond them using illegal means to shut us down, things are good.
Yeah.
Somebody has to break up Google because that AdSense thing is just a complete monopoly.
Yep.
I mean, they've got it on YouTube.
They've got it on Search.
They've got it on AdSense.
They've got it on their ads for publishers.
It's a nightmare.
Yep.
Yep.
No one tell RFK I'm drinking soda.
Yeah, I'm a sucker for diet Pepsi.
What's your tipple of choice?
Cherry Coke.
Cherry Coke?
Do they still even make that?
Oh, it's the best ever.
I don't smoke or drink or gamble, but soda, it's gonna kill me.
How many in a day?
Oh, like two.
Okay.
I like Fresca, and I miss Tab.
I'm giving my age away.
I miss Tab.
You know what's good in addition to Fresca is Squirt.
What?
I think it's like the Pepsi version.
Squirt, it's grapefruit.
I love grapefruit.
Yeah, so it's got sugar instead of the sucralose or whatever the fake is.
But I've never seen that on the East Coast.
Where'd you get it?
Oh, really?
Yeah.
Yeah, they got it at Publix here.
What color is the label?
It's like kind of a neon yellow.
It's a real healthy color.
Oh, I think I've seen that in North Carolina.
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Oh, yeah.
My buddies.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
It's pretty bloody sweet, though.
Yeah, it is.
Yeah.
Yeah, yeah.
What's the whole point?
It's sugar with a little fruit flavoring in it.
I love grapefruit.
It's one of the few fruits I actually enjoy eating.
All right, 50 seconds.
Yeah, coming in with cut nine.
Thank you.
Thank you.
I can't say I was surprised.
I had the feeling all along that at the end this thing might break one way or the other and all the so-called swing states would vote together because the last two or three or four percent were actually pretty much alike throughout the country.
I'm starting to wonder, Billy, if Bubba voted for President Trump.
The things he's saying in the last...
Oh, I knew.
I knew that he was going to win.
What did he say last week, Eric, that only a female conservative could be president, right?
Yep, that is what Bill Clinton, the Democrats, said.
I think he might be becoming a Republican.
If you enjoy our show, support the great Mike Lindell, a friend of the president's, who makes American products in America.
Not just the MyPillow, of which he sold more than 81 million, but hundreds of items on his website, done by Chinese garbage on Amazon.
Use my name for up to two-thirds off and free shipping.
You will not get that order anywhere else.
Call in.
Talk to a human being.
How nice is that?
800-829-8468.
That's MyPillow.com.
800-829-8468.
Secret code.
G-O-R-K-A. We're back with the man who is in charge at that superlative website, thefederalist.com, co-founder Sean Davis.
Sean, I could talk to you for an hour.
Let's get him back for an hour after Thanksgiving.
But let's talk about this one issue because some people say, Oh, Nancy, stop talking about the transgender bathrooms.
But others think it's rather important.
Here is Tim McBride pretending to be a woman talking.
I don't know whether he's been toking on Hunter Biden's crap pipe, but it's really weird.
Cut for.
Look at what they're doing to pick the pocket of American workers, to fleece seniors by privatizing Social Security and Medicare.
Look what they're doing undermining workers.
And here's also what we have to be clear about, because I think the last week has been a prime example of this.
Every bit of time and energy that is used to divert the attention of federal government to go after trans people is time and energy that is not focused on addressing the cost of living for our constituents.
And we have to be clear that there is a real cost for the American worker every time they focus on this.
Right, weirdo.
You've got a mental condition or a sexual perversion that gets you excited when you wear women's clothes.
Sean, I'm of the opinion that this is a non-negotiable, and I think it's also a kind of massive red pill for tens of millions of Americans when it came to the election.
Am I reading too much into this?
I don't think you are, and I do think it's really important.
It's not just an issue of bathrooms or being mean to trans people, whatever that means.
It's a litmus test of whether you understand reality, whether you're able to just function in everyday Yeah.
Bingo.
It's about whether or not you live in the real world.
All right.
Big, big question.
President Trump won because of his authenticity, because of the economy, because of wars across the world.
There is, however, the longer term challenge.
He won because of who he is and because he's unstoppable, because a Democrat tried to murder him or twice.
What about the conservative movement writ large?
He has four years.
Are we going to see some heavy lifting in terms of ideological thinking, building the network the left has in terms of media, think tanks, support groups, or are we just going to have to look for another Ajax four years from now?
No, I think it's going to be a consequential four years.
I think it's important that Trump is in there because he kind of broke the mold of conservative ink, whatever you want to call it.
People who just do this professionally and it's just a day job and they don't actually care.
For years, those types of people, every time they got near power, all they would talk about is how it wasn't responsible to use it.
that, oh, conservatives can't do this, conservatives can't do that.
They misunderstood that the entire point of running for office and attaining power was to be able to do things with it.
The left has been doing that.
It's one reason why the machine of government always seems to screw to the left.
It's always a one-way ratchet.
And I think what's so important about what Trump has done with the conservative movement, with the MAGA movement, is he's made people understand the entire purpose of being in office is to do things.
And if you're not going to do things, you need to get out of the way.
And it's really unsettling for people who got fat and happy over the last 30 years kind of doing nothing but writing stupid white papers and running their mouths.
We actually have a chance here with the unified government, with Trump in office, to actually do things that matter that can leave a lasting impression for not just years, but decades.
Yeah, yeah.
And this is a moment where we can shape generations, the future of generations, and actually our civilization, because America is the zenith of Judeo-Christian civilization.
Happy Thanksgiving, Sean Davis.

This is America First, coming to you from the ReliefFactor.com studios, just outside the insalubrious, fetid, rank, malodorous, noisome, ghastly swamp that is Washington, I'm just one of them.
It also includes people like Debron from Massachusetts.
Listen to Debron's story.
I just started taking Relief Factor four days ago.
My hip pain is gone.
I had a horrible time sleeping because of the pain.
I absolutely love how I am feeling.
Thank you, Relief Factor.
That should be your story.
It could be your story.

Order the three-week quick starter pack for the paltry sum of $19.95 at relieffactor.com.
It'll be at your door in three days or less.

By the end of the three weeks, you will know whether it works for you like it works for me, Debron, and over a million of your fellow Americans.
But I was hosting the Breitbart show to do a shameless promotion.
Good, good, good.
Love it, love it, love it.
All right, we'll talk about Fight Club.
We'll talk about the podcast.
What is a good cut for Alex?
Maybe...
Maybe two.
I was gonna say, yeah.
Maybe two.
Okay, good.
Self-awareness.
Alright, good.
For John, three, four, eight, nine and eleven.
Alright, three.
Why Kash Patel would crush it at FBI. Four.
No, scratch four.
That's just crap.
Eight.
President Trump didn't just break matter.
He broke at Joy Reid.
Then...
Sounds like Bubba voted for President Trump.
Then 11...
A warning from President Trump's incoming National Security Advisor.
Pay attention, bad guys.
50.
Let's add 15.
Okay.
Tom Homan, colon, The Right Man.
Good to meet you.
Gorka, did I see the Gorka man? did I see the Gorka man?
Yes, stand up Gorka, quick, get up!
How good, how good is he, Sebastian?
Seb, they call him Seb, I call him Sebastian.
America first.
Thank you, John.
I appreciate that.
I never know what line they're going to come in with.
That's super fun.
I haven't even read out the phone number today, and the call board exploded in my monologue.
Thank you for all your patience.
Dave, Sandra, Judy, Nancy, Don, please don't go anywhere.
I won't do a monologue at the top of the next hour.
I will take your call, so don't go anywhere.
But if you are calling in, please promise me one thing.
You don't do it from a cell phone that makes money for the left.
If your phone is connected to one of the big three cell phone providers, they're using the profits you make for them to give millions of dollars every year to organizations like Planned Parenthood, literally funding abortions, or to foundations who are trying to censor and cancel conservatives.
There's only one Christian conservative cell phone company in the nation.
It is the one I use.
one I use.
It's Patriot Mobile.
Switch today, use my name, and you'll get the first month for free.
This company donates millions of dollars to causes you believe in.
The First Amendment, the Second Amendment, the sanctity of the unborn.
It's as easy as calling 972-PATRIOT or going to PatriotMobile.com slash Gawker.
Extra discounts for veterans and first responders, but everybody gets their first month on me for free.
Call them right now, 972-728-7468.
PatriotMobile.com slash G-O-R-K-A. Does anybody on the left get it?
Let's ask a man who understands their lunacy intimately.
He is the newest addition to the best stable.
What is it Ed Atzinger calls us?
The best faculty in talk radio.
The latest podcast on the Salem Network.
The Alec's podcast.
He is employee number one at the conservative mothership that is Breitbart.com.
Alex, happy Monday!
Happy to be here, Dr. G. We love to work on Mondays here and say we're happy about it.
I don't know if there's a day that you don't work.
I think you are one of the hardest working.
You're a little bit like Andrew.
I don't think Andrew was ever off the clock.
I'm not sure you're texting people at 4 a.m.
like he was, but you are close to Andrew Breitbart in terms of your work ethic.
Let me play a fun clip for Well, hold on.
You're going to be working hard yourself, Dr. G. I want to congratulate you on behalf of all your fans.
You're going to be sleeping with your cell phone in your hand now, though.
You're going to be 24-7.
Dude, that's not a joke.
After the president, the president called me up on Friday to say, within half an hour, there's going to be an announcement.
I haven't had my phone off.
It's basically melted.
I've had 600 texts in 24 hours.
Some from people I haven't heard of in 20 years.
Then the president called back Saturday morning during breakfast in front of my kids because he's just such a cool guy.
So yes, I'm going to have to have it duct taped to my head for as long as I'm in this Trump 2.0 administration, but thank you.
As Dan Bongino says, Alex, well, this doesn't apply to you because you don't just do a radio show, a podcast, but for people like you and me and Dan, this isn't work.
Sitting in front of a microphone for three hours telling people what we think isn't work as of January the 20th, that's going to change.
I heard from I heard from a listener today to my show and said, thank me for my service.
I was like, you'd be kidding me.
It was a 20-year combat veteran.
I shut that down.
My wife, who's a doctor, was up in the middle of the night dealing with cancer patients in the community at 1 a.m.
No, no, we're fighting for a country because we love it and we believe in it and we're having a good time while we're doing it.
It's a lot of hours, but we would do this for free.
Don't tell anybody, but that's what I've been saying at Salem.
I would pay to do this job because it's just such a wonderful job.
All right, let's get down to work.
First things first, his latest book, You've Got to Get It, The Truth Behind What the Last Four Years Were All About, Breaking Biden, Exposing the Hidden Forces and Secret Money Machine Behind Joe Biden, his family and his administration.
And subscribe to his podcast, as well as the new Fight Club podcast.
At Breitbart.
Oh, yeah.
Do you want to be a contender, a middleweight, or a heavyweight?
Go to Breitbart.com and check out the exclusive Fight Club content.
All right, so you know the left.
You know their lunacy.
This is a woman I had the pleasure of debating a year ago at the Oxford Union.
This is April Ryan on MSNBC, Alex.
This is interesting.
Cut to...
Why are Democrats losing working class Hispanic voters?
Why are Democrats even losing some working class black voters, especially black men?
It overstated, it was overstated about black men, the degree, but there's no doubt there is a trend that Democrats are losing a lot of people that have been their base for a long time.
Why do you think that is?
Tone deafness.
Tone deafness.
At this point, you have to think about this.
Politics is personal and it's also pocketbook.
Have we found the one person who understands what 76 million Americans did on the left?
Maybe, but it's still heartbreaking to see April Ryan, Dr. G. The hardest thing I've had to deal with in the media business my whole life was I was in a debate with April Ryan at a Politicon event years ago, and it was an absolute dunk-a-thon.
I had the full-on gorilla mask and the trampoline out, and I was just windmill dunking in her face.
Did you even prep, or did you just extemporaneously dunk?
Oh, it was all on the fly.
It was all on the fly.
And I wouldn't believe it would take me the whole rest of the segment to explain it.
It's the only thing I've ever done that's not on video.
Every time I've played with my kids, that's on video.
Every single podcast is on video.
Every time I've not done well, it's on video.
But they had a no phone policy in the room or something.
And you can't find it anywhere.
And it breaks my heart so much.
But it's good to see she's woken up.
But if you look at the left writ large, it's like Van Jones said something, and then who's the Crypt Keeper?
I can never remember his name, Alex.
Who's the Crypt Keeper?
Carville.
Carville, thank you.
You helped me out on your podcast.
You've got to listen to the podcast we did for his first episode.
It's...
He got me to say things I'd never talk about, so you've got to go to Alex Marlowe's podcast, The Alex Marlowe Show.
But we've got the Crypt Keeper, Carville.
We've got April Ryan, and we've got Van Jones.
It doesn't look like anybody else really gets it.
And they say, black men are misogynists, and Hispanics are stupid, and that's why they voted for Donald Trump.
If they keep saying that, is that good or bad for us?
Yeah, I don't think it matters because I think that their power centers are still on the hard left.
And then you've got to watch guys like Gavin Newsom and J.B. Pritzker.
And what are they doing?
California, L.A. made L.A. sanctuary city since the election.
Newsom says he's going to Trump-proof California.
J.B. Pritzker wants more trans surgeries.
I still think the left is going to win out, but you're seeing a few people who are, you know, trying to balance it out.
But CNN's Abby Phillips said the Democrats have problems that are bigger than wokeness.
Donna Brazile pushed back that wokeness was a problem on the Bill Maher show.
Neil deGrasse Tyson, their favorite scientist, said that there's no difference between...
He refused to say if there's differences between the two genders biologically.
So they're completely lost.
They have no idea whether to tack left or back to the center.
Hang on, hang on.
Georgia Public Universities...
Degrass Tyson said, in winter, if somebody's wearing a thick coat, you don't know whether they're male or female.
I mean, it's true science.
I mean, it's Einstein levels of science.
And if you don't believe me, you've got to listen to it.
Follow him at Alex.
Give him a Nobel.
Follow him at Alex Marlow.
We'll be back with employee number one at Breitbart in a moment.
But first, Dr. G2.0.
What does that even mean?
It means Dr. Ashley Lucas is a rock star.

What should be different?
How would you like to see Caroline Levitt?
Who should be in the briefing room?
How should they handle that whole White House press corps?
Great.
Okay, good.
I'll have a good answer for that.
Good.
Are you having fun with the podcast?
I am, yeah.
I'm trying to figure it out.
I just had my first sales meeting with Salem today, and they were telling me that my numbers are really huge, and I don't even believe them.
I don't even know if that's true.
Believe it.
It feels like a long haul, but I don't know.
I'm always cautious about this.
I actually am.
I'm not fake humble, Dr. G. You're the real deal.
I don't believe that until I see it.
You're very self-effacing, and that's why we love you.
Yeah, it's interesting because everyone asks me how I'm doing, and I know I'm talent now, so I'm supposed to say, oh, man, this is the greatest show!
But I can't do that.
It's going to be long haul.
No, if you changed, don't change now.
How old are you, Alex?
38. You're a young man.
Young man.
Are you excited?
I try.
Are you excited?
I've never been more optimistic.
Really, it's a general sensibility in my life.
I feel like the country has a chance.
It's the first time I've really believed it.
I know I have a chance because I'm a hard worker.
And I know I have a chance because I'm a hard worker.
I know I have a chance because I'm a hard worker.
podcasts, including on YouTube.
And don't forget, thanks to our great caller who came up with the idea, our latest piece of celebratory merchandise, President Trump in that gleaming garbage truck pulling up to the White House.
He's back.
Get your MAGA t-shirt today, sebgorkastore.com, S-E-B-G-O-R-K-A, sebgorkastore.com.
Alex, I've got to ask you, since you are the man at Breitbart, What would you like to see from a second Trump administration in terms of the media?
We've got Caroline Leavitt named as the press secretary.
Superb choice.
When I was in the White House, Sean and the others and Sarah Huckabee had this amazing idea that drove the legacy-lying media insane of having regional media Skype in, having people with podcasts Skype in that drove the White House press corps insane.
Do you want to see more of that?
What would Brighton?
Yeah, I think the White House press corps needs to only be a fraction of the media diet that the White House is communicating with.
I think that became clear during the election where the last few months where Trump ran that podcast and Twitch stream strategy, I think that really iced the election for him.
So I think that's got to continue.
I think the one-on-one should be with alternative media and with podcasts far more often than establishing media.
The establishment media communication should be the exception, not the rule.
And you've got to incorporate alternative media voices in the briefing room and just mix it up.
And if there's ever a crisis like the pandemic, don't let the establishment left-wing media who's trying to destroy this country be the only ones to ask questions.
You've got to get people who are experts in and people who come from different walks who speak to different groups.
I know Caroline will do that.
I mean, she's on Boyle's show on SiriusXM, Matt Boyle's show, like every weekend pretty much.
So I know she gets it, so I'm confident.
Alright, so I asked you about the left and how they don't get it.
You said it doesn't matter.
Let me ask you about our side and the Senate.
Do they understand what happened in America on November the 5th?
Yeah, I'm not convinced that Lisa Murkowski or Susan Collins ever will.
I'm not sure about this guy, Curtis, who replaced Mitt Romney, and Langford has gone real soft on us in recent years.
So this is why those final Senate races that the Democrats peeled off really could make a big difference, because I don't know if we're going to get through those four people.
And we have to try, because the public's in the clear signal, we're over the wokeness, we're over the open border, we're over the not drilling, we're over the lawfare, we're over the wars everywhere all the time, and we want to do Trump's vision for America.
And it feels like he's drafting a cabinet that understands that, and he's building people around him that understand that, which he didn't do the first time, he's doing it this time.
So I'm very optimistic, aside from those four or five senators.
They need to understand that America has spoken with President Trump, even breaking his prior incumbency record from 74 million to 76. He's the author, most recently, of Breaking Biden.
He's the host of the newest Salem podcast, The Alex Marlowe Show.
Episode one is rather good.
And at Breitbart, you can join the Fight Club today.
Next up, your calls here on America First on a very special Monday.
I think the things that I look at is, is someone competent and are they going to uphold the law?
It is so important.
It's the lead law enforcement officer for our country.
And does it concern me that revenge would be part of her mission?
Of course it does.
Hey Jeff, I'm a bit confused with what Amy Klobuchar is saying there.
I think I speak English well.
You only do revenge if what happened first.
If you were attacked first.
Right, if somebody did you wrong.
Correct.
So, is she saying that President Trump was done wrong?
I think she is.
I don't think they even realize that they're saying that every time they say that.
I think you're right.
I think they're so incredibly stupid.
All right.
We will be joined by my Salem colleague, Ed Metaxas, to discuss his amazing new project, Don't Go Anywhere.
And then, from Breitbart Sirius XM, Mike Slater for The Manhood.
Is it Monday again?
Wow, great.
Okay, so don't go anywhere for the next two hours.
But I haven't taken any calls, and everybody has been waiting by their phone for the last hour since the monologue.
Let's go down the numbers.
Line one, Dave in Arizona.
Ultra MAGA, we did it dittos from the Phoenix Battleground Talker store, sir.
Thank you, buddy.
Happy Monday.
Congratulations, Dr. Gorka.
Yes?
Sorry, I spoke over you.
Go ahead.
Congratulations, Dr. Gore.
It's amazing that you're going to join the boss.
And I'm certainly going to miss our weekly calls, giving you updates on all the Arizona election malfeasance.
Just to let you know, I've already spoken to Adam O'Bannon and I signed up through Project 2025. If you need my resume, or if you want to give me a head nod to come work with you in D.C., let me know.
Dave, have a wild guess, Dave.
How many resumes I've received since 840 on Friday?
237. Pretty good guest, Dave.
Pretty good guest.
Thank you, thank you, thank you.
I appreciate your well wishes.
9-2, Sandra, New Jersey.
Oh, Dr. Walker, I am so thrilled that you're serving a second term with Donald Trump.
I'm so happy.
I want you to know your steady hand and your strategic mind is exactly what we need for the critical task of safeguarding our country.
So I want you to know we stand with you, and we thank you for answering the call to serve this country, and God bless you, God bless the administration, and God bless our country.
We're so lucky to have you!
That's far too kind.
Thank you, Sandra.
I think we always have to look at what's happened in the last few days.
Since November the 5th in the context of every single one of you making this possible.
This is our victory.
It's President Trump who will become the president, but how are we putting him back in that chair behind the Resolute Desk?
Because we didn't give up.
I mean, I'm not going to, you know, talk about it at length, but how many people After 2020, he said, I'm never voting again, or they're going to steal it again, or called into this show saying, that's it, I'm done.
And we defeated them.
Those attitudes are un-American.
They do not reflect what our founding fathers achieved against the greatest empire the world had ever seen.
So this is a glorious God-given success, because every single one of you supported President Trump, and it's America's victory, and we need to be thankful to our Lord and Creator, but all of us, all of you made this possible for President Trump to save our nation and our civilization.
Let's go to Judy in Brooklyn.
Whoa, okay, congratulations, all right?
I have so much to tell you, okay, but let me start by saying yes.
Congratulations, Sir Bastion.
You are our knight in shining armor.
President Trump and America are going to be in the best hands, God and Gorka.
And Dr. Gorka, the highest form of love is sacrifice.
So if we have to give you up, it is for love of country.
So, no one has been more loyal and unwavering to President Trump.
Appointing you to this position, Dr. Gorka, is so well-deserved and so perfectly suited, as Sandra said also.
And you know something?
I know you'll be a pit bull when needed, and you'll go above and beyond to protect all that is good.
Our knight in shining armor as you go into battle against all these evildoers, okay, all these Bolsheviks and whatever.
Be safe.
Be successful.
Be true to yourself because you are truly great.
And Dr. Gorka, it has been a huge honor for me to speak with you from the very beginning of this fabulous show.
And to me, you are a multifaceted diamond.
There are 64 sides to a diamond, by the way.
And I will miss you dearly.
So God bless you, Sir Bastion Gorka.
And you betrayed me, young man.
You know what you told me when you had your...
I wished you for your birthday that President Trump should become elected president, that you should have a cabinet post, And that you should keep your radio show.
And you know what you told me?
You said, no, no, no, I'm keeping my radio show.
I'll be behind the scenes.
But never mind.
I'm not sure I ever said that before I start blushing for all the other things you said and for giving me a lesson in gemology.
If I could broadcast from inside a skiff in the White House, I would do it.
But God bless you for your very kind words.
Don't be a stranger.
None of you.
I'm not going to disappear completely because we are one nation.
We are one team.
God bless you, Judy.
And I'm not going anywhere for a while, guys.
Come on, January 20th.
It's not exactly tomorrow.
So thank you.
Thank you.
Thank you.
You're starting to make me blush.
Let's go to Nancy in Philadelphia.
Hi, Dr. G. I, too, am extremely glad that you will be joining the administration.
And I have steadfastly refused to participate on any social media, so I want to personally thank you and Phelan News for giving so many otherwise voiceless people like me a voice.
And please encourage everyone in the administration, keep the pedal to the metal.
Don't go wobbly or wimp out.
And lastly, just remember, when it comes to the left and the Democrats, the definition of insanity Doing the same thing over and over, expecting a different result.
Thank you, Nancy.
I don't think anybody's accused me of ever going wobbly, and we'll try to make sure that nobody does inside the building or inside the administration.
It's been an incredible ride.
I can't believe that it will be six years as of January the 1st, and I owe so much to Salem, especially Phil Boyce, who one day at a reception in D.C. at my publisher's, the 75th anniversary for Regnery, he came up to me, I didn't know who he was, and he said, hey, Have you ever thought about doing radio?
And I thought he was joking.
And then he gave me his card.
So Salem is incredible.
There's a reason.
It's not just me, but it's my wife, Katie.
It's Jennifer Horne.
It's Alex Marlow.
It is the best faculty.
And I'm blessed to have you as an audience.
Because as that nurse said to me, what was it, three years ago as I went into surgery, emergency surgery, after three days of looking after me and not telling me her politics, she said the following.
Keep doing what you do, Dr. Gorker, because you are a voice for millions who have no voice.
You know who you are, my friend, and I stuck your name on a post-it note on the wall opposite me in my old studio to always think of that lady and all Americans who don't have a voice but who love America.
So before I start tearing up, I'm not crying, you are.
Let's go to Don in Los Angeles, line five.
Dr. G., Dr. G., congratulations, first of all.
Couldn't have a better right-hand man for Mr. Waltz than you.
Maybe someday you'll be the National Security Advisor.
But in the meantime, for your bumper music, you ought to put that old Elvis song called Trouble.
If you're looking for trouble, you come to the right place.
Ah, that would be great.
And I also wondered, did you ever get a chance to see The Great White Hope?
Please tell me you have.
If you haven't, please watch it.
I will.
I have not, my friend.
I will.
I have a long list of things I need to do.
But right now we're working for the great Mike Waltz, who will be a superlative national security advisor, former Green Beret, first Green Beret in Congress.
And right now, as I'm sure you can understand, my dear friend, we're a little bit busy making sure we have the right people in place to serve President Trump.
that the people in the building right now aren't shredding everything and bleach pitting it.
But when I have a free moment, Don, rest assured, we will watch The Great White Hope.
God bless you, Don.
Yes.
Thank you.
And if one wants to drop you a note, do we write at Dr. Gorka, care of the White House?
You can do, but that has to be screened by a service that looks for dangerous articles.
so it takes several weeks to get to the White House.
If you want to just send me a line, just go through my website, SebastianGorker.com or SebGorker.com and I'll get it.
But in the meantime, yes, sending stuff to the White House is a little bit circuitous, if you know what I mean.
Thank you, Don.
God bless.
Don't forget, the third hour today is the Manhood Hour.
We will be Reviewing movies every Friday until the inauguration.
Don't miss out on the long form third hour.

Okay.
For Davis...
So much to do with Davis.
Well, the Jack Smith thing was the big one.
Oh, yeah, yeah.

Okay, you want the mics on or off?
You can put them on.
Okay, they're on.
When is the movie out, Eric?
It opened this past weekend, Sebastian.
And where can they find out the details, or where can they watch it?
Angel, well, it's in 1900 theaters across the country, which tells you that Angel has not done a tremendous job of getting the word out.
1900 theaters around America.
They can go to angel.com.
I mean, actually, they can get discounted tickets at angel.com slash Eric.
I believe they're still available.
Okay.

He is a man who truly walked in the footsteps of Jesus Christ.
A man who paid the ultimate price as our Lord and Savior did.
And finally, they're making an English language movie about him.
Here's a clip.
You will go to England as our spy.
Churchill sees Germany as a home.
He's afraid that a bomb traced to England would be invasion or worse.
Invasion!
Invasion!
My country was invaded strong with this!
He was a pastor.
He was a patriot.
He was a man prepared to give his life for the truth.
And the movie Bonhoeffer is available in, what is this figure?
19 huge number, thousands of movie theaters across the nation.
Who's responsible?
The man who wrote the original book, my Salem colleague, the one and only Eric Metaxas.
Eric, talk to us about this pastor, this martyr, and let's start with how exciting...
When did your original book come out?
Because this has been a while in gestation, has it not?
One time.
A long time.
It came out in 2010, and it sold over a million copies.
Hard to believe that that's the case, but it really, listen, to be clear, it's not my book.
It's the story that is so amazing.
First of all, it's a true story, but it's a story of faith that you don't get very often.
Some people read my book and they said, this needs to be a movie.
And they just about killed themselves 12 years in the making.
It is a spectacular film.
It is in 1900 theaters across the United States.
It is everywhere.
I honestly feel, Sebastian, a film like this comes across once in a generation.
A faith film that is a mainstream film, like Chariots of Fire, like Man for All Seasons in the 60s, A very rare thing that it's a great film.
It's a mainstream film.
You can bring anyone.
You can bring your liberal relative over Thanksgiving.
They will love it.
Everyone will love it.
It talks about God.
And predictably, the liberals have been trying to kill the film.
It's almost unbelievable because it's a film that they would enjoy if they saw it.
But any affiliation with Eric Metaxas, you know, Bonhoeffer might as well be wearing a MAGA hat, which is hilarious because it is an absolutely glorious film.
It's a faith film.
It's a family film.
But it's also a sophisticated film.
Very well done.
Very well done.
So let me be blunt here that, you know, conservative moviemaking until recently hasn't been the most subtle of artifice.
Often it's banging you over the head with, God is good and you should be more like Jesus.
Yes.
It sounds like this is a little bit different.
And I presume that is in large part because this isn't fictional.
This is the story of a true Christian sacrifice.
Well, the reason it took so long to make and the reason that, you know...
I was involved initially in raising millions of dollars to make the film because you want creative control.
You don't want this to turn into a Christian film or a conservative film that only Christians and conservatives will see.
You want to reach everyone.
And so the people who created this went out of their way to make an extraordinary mainstream film.
People will see it whether they are where you and I are ideologically or not.
They can't help but love the film.
It's a very rare thing.
A great film that points to God, that tells the truth about authoritarian aggression.
I mean, we've been living through it in our time, so this film speaks to that.
It really is magnificent, and everyone must see it.
I mean, there's so much garbage out there.
Some of it is entertaining garbage, like Wicked or whatever.
This is a film that is simultaneously utterly entertaining and very meaningful.
You'll be talking about it after you leave the theater.
We've only got a couple of minutes left in this segment.
Tell us a little bit about who the man Bonhoeffer was, Eric.
Well, this is a man who, because of his Christian faith, spoke up against the Nazis.
It's an extraordinary thing.
I mean, when I discovered the story, I almost couldn't believe it.
It was part of my faith journey.
When I discovered his story, I said, can this be true?
And of course, later on, I wrote this big biography about him.
And it is, you know, to meet someone who, because of his Christian faith, speaks up Against the Nazis and ultimately is killed by the Nazis and gets involved in the plot to kill Hitler, a man of God who gets involved in the plot to kill Hitler.
That's the kind of a man of God that you and I are interested in and most people are interested in.
You think, if you really believe in God, then fighting evil has something to do with that.
And there are many people that they've He painted this pacifistic view of Bonhoeffer.
It's simply not true.
I mean, he was no warmonger, but he was a real man of honor and a man of God.
And he eventually gets involved in the plot to kill Hitler.
He's executed for that days before Hitler takes his own life.
It's just an amazing story.
But it's also, Sebastian, very inspiring.
You cannot help But want to be like him when you see the film.
And that's, to me, why everybody should go see it.
And again, if the liberals are attacking it, doesn't that tell you everything?
It's like, why would they do that?
It must be good.
So, it is.
Yeah, it's like multiple people texting me over the weekend saying, Oh my gosh, the Washington Post has attacked you!
And I'm saying...
Yeah, if they wrote something nice about me, then that would be the problem.

That's my whole name, one word, SebastianGorka.substack.com.
It's not that kind of a film.
This is a $29 million independent European production.
It's almost all German actors.
I am not involved in it officially.
So I have no say in that.
No, it's a gigantic theater release, Sebastian.
It's a very, very big deal.
And they went out of their way not to make it political and not to affiliate it with me, but that didn't stop the liberals from assuming that because it was inspired by my book and because Angel Studios is the distributor...
But I thought you said you raised money for it as well, but you weren't involved with the execution?
Initially, I was, but I'm not officially involved with it.
But in the beginning, I was involved.
Got it.
My pillow at the top, and then we'll go back to Eric.
Okay.
We can mention the book.
Actually, I'll mention the movie and then I'll mention the book because what I want to ask about is more relevant to the book.
The Bonhoeffer book.
No.
Letter to the American Church.
Two and a half minutes.
What I was saying, Sebastian, is that it was kind of a decision at the end that they thought, oh, we better get Eric's name off of it.
So I've been very involved in it.
But at the end, they just said, well, no, we just want it to be a mainstream film, and the left will attack if your name is involved.
Got it.
So my name was not involved, and the left attacked with everything they have anyway.
Well, of course.
I mean, that was completely bloody predictable.
Yes.
Yes.
Yeah.
Minute 45. Minute

one of the most significant differences, critical for moving from polarization to productivity, is that the Wikipedians who write these articles aren't actually focused on finding the truth.
They're working for something that's a little bit more attainable, which is the best of what we can know right now.
And after seven years there, I actually believe that they're onto something.
That for our most tricky disagreements, seeking the truth and seeking to convince others of the truth isn't necessarily the best place to start.
In fact, I think our reverence for the truth might have become a bit of a distraction that is preventing us from finding consensus and getting important things done.
Not only was she in charge of Wikimedia, Catherine Mayer was made head of NPR. The truth!
Who needs the truth?
We just need what is politically advantageous to the postmodern secularists.
Guys, there's no culture war, except when you listen to people like that, of the left.

And with amazing relevance for the last three weeks and the four years ahead of us after January the 20th, letter to the American church, my friend, my Salem colleague, Eric Metaxas.
Eric, here's a loaded question.
The good guys won on November the 5th.
Can we just chill and relax now?
Have we just won it for the ages?
Absolutely not.
Absolutely not.
What we have won...
Is the privilege to keep on fighting.
We've won the privilege to keep on fighting for the truth, for what is right and good and true.
And this is a moment, to my mind, Winning this election was like George Washington escaping with his army to Washington.
They should have been crushed by the British.
This is in August of 1776. They ought to have been crushed.
Somehow, by the grace of God, they were allowed a moment to slip away and to fight again and again and again and again.
And then we won the war.
We won independence.
But that's what just happened.
We just got a reprieve from the governor of the universe.
Now America still exists.
Now we get to fight to keep it, to restore it to the founders' vision of what it was.
We've drifted for many decades, and we have tremendous work to do.
And the president appointing people like you, my friend Sebastian Gorka, indicates that we're going to do that work.
We're going to go scorched earth on the bloated Bureaucracy, which is not elected, which is antithetical to the sovereignty of we the people.
So I'm very excited about what lies ahead.
What would you most like to see outside of politics, outside of D.C., the White House, the Republican Party, the MAGA movement?
Is it, given what we witnessed under COVID and the lack of, you know, any kind of courage or valor, is it the church leaders who Finally standing up?
Is it the non-governmental organizations?
Where do we need to see a real change in attitude and in courage?
Well, everywhere, to be quite honest.
In other words, I've written and spoken tremendously much, more than ever in my life on any subject, about the failure of the American church to stand up.
So those churches that invite me, you know, there are churches, there are pastors that are heroes, But there are many churches where the pastors are cowards, where the people don't want any trouble, which is just like Germans in the 30s saying, oh, we don't want any trouble.
You know, just what do I need to do?
Zeke Heil, who do I need to, you know...
Talk to, to keep my job.
I'm not interested in truth.
I'm not interested in speaking up against evil.
There's a lot of that.
But for me, and I guess the Bonhoeffer film is the illustration of it, we need people of courage.
If we have people of courage everywhere, every single institution needs to be taken back.
And the media, speaking of movies, when I see a film like this come out, it's so rare Hollywood doesn't produce films like this.
This is an independent production.
It's as good as anything Hollywood will ever make.
It's a $29 million budget with great acting, great cinematography.
This is a great film.
My hope is that we would take back Well,
Read the book, Eric Bataxis's Letter to the American Church, and watch the movie of an exemplar of what it means to be a brave Christian.

You're listening to Dr. Sebastian Gorka, a man who's taken down Eastern European governments with just the sound of his voice.
It's true.
Please do fact-check it, Media Matters.
We do love it when you do your kind of pointless work like that.
So don't take it for granted.
You heard Eric.
The left's not going to give up.
We have to be ready for what they're going to do in the next 58 days and on inauguration day and thereafter.
Do you have what it takes to stay in touch with your family in case of a natural disaster or a man-made one?
I do.
Why?
Because of the amazing people at the satellite phone store.

Ron in Washington.
Yes, sir, Dr. Gorka.
I'm a former Marine combat veteran in Vietnam, and I just want to let you know there's a lot of us veterans here in Vancouver that support Donald Trump and support you 100%.
God bless you, and fight on.
And Chaplain now, involved in a lot of different programs, and we support you, and we're keeping you in our prayers.
Well, that's very kind, Chaplain.
Ron, please keep the president and his family in your prayers as well.
We have lots of work to do.
Stay on the line.
Let's thank Ron for his service.
He'll get one of the He's Back, President Trump, backing up to the White House in that garbage truck.
He'll get one of our He's Back t-shirts for free.
But you can get yours at SebGorkaStore.com.

Ron, stay on the line.
Let's go to Joe in, is it Los Angeles?
I Joe!
Hello, Sebastian.
Yes.
Hey, Sebastian.
How are you doing?
Put the sandwich down.
Put the cappuccino down.
You're live across the nation.
Okay.
Yes, I am very much alive.
Thank you.
Very simple.
We have paid a bunch of non-governmental organizations to bring and usher and concierge all of these illegal aliens in over the last four years.
Yeah.
The apparatus is there.
The housing is there.
The Quote, unquote, detention centers are there.
I say, since those agencies have pretty much already been funded, let's pay them, only instead of paying them to send the illegals in the country, get them to send the illegals out of the country.
For two reasons.
A couple of reasons.
One of them is it's a lot harder for the Liberals to complain if the same people who brought them in...
Are you kidding me?
Are you kidding me, Joe?
I'm not kidding, dude.
They're going to complain if you use, you know, a resurrected, you know, Mother Teresa.
And there's a bigger problem.
There's a bigger problem.
They don't have the authorities.
You've got to get them out of the country.
Only law enforcement entities can do that.
And secondly, thirdly, you're going to trust the organizations that colluded with Biden and Harris to bring these people into America?
You're going to trust them to take them out?
I don't think so, Joe.
Absolutely not.
I trust one person.
Tom Homan...
Supported by Stephen Miller and executing the wishes of Governor Nome at DHS and President Trump.
Neat idea, but no, we don't trust the criminals with getting rid of the illegals.
Wow, interesting.
Let's have some fun instead.
Let's do a little montage of what you did just a few weeks ago.
Cut 16. Still a long way for her to go, but they put...
Steve Kornacki, I just have to jump...
Yep.
Steve Kornacki, I just have to jump in.
And you've been predicting this.
We've been waiting for it.
And we do have some breaking news from the decision desk.
NBC News can now project that Donald Trump has won the state of Wisconsin, which means he is the winner of this race and will return to the White House as this country's 47th president.
And for so many of you watching right now, that news is...
To say the least, a lot to digest.
I understand that, personally.
After he lost four years ago, he refused to accept the outcome and incited a violent insurrection on our nation's capital.
He's campaigned while facing criminal indictments related to his efforts to overturn the 2020 results.
And he's run as a convicted felon.
During this campaign, he has also promised to essentially be an authoritarian leader, to use power like no American president ever has before, and wield that power to go after his political enemies.
This is a man who's also bragged about overturning Roe v.
Wade and stripping away women's bodily autonomy.
He's promised to conduct mass deportations to crack down on the rights of millions of Americans.
Donald Trump is an anti-democratic force, but he's just been elected democratically in our country.
And here's what might be the hardest part to hear, but we have to talk about and we have to say, and it is a hard part to digest for all of us.
But we have to be honest about what we saw in this election.
Donald Trump was elected by expanding his support over a number of key groups that we're going to.
We've been digging into this night, all night tonight, as we anticipated where this was headed.
And I know we're going to dig into it throughout the course of the day today.
And there will be a lot of time spent on how and why he won and what this will mean for the country over the next four years and beyond.
Jeff, I love that the triumphal music in the back there.
Do you think CNN was expecting that result?
No, and also they made that call like hours after he'd already done a speech.
Are you kidding?
Are you kidding?
NBC did it at like 5.30 in the morning.
No.
Yes.
Do you think we should play that every day until January the 20th?
I like her voice in it.
She's so upset.
She sounds like the man who's not democratic has been democratically elected.
How do you think they're doing?
Do you think Elon's going to buy CNN? Jeff, what do you think?
I hope he doesn't.
Why?
Because it'll implode on its own.
It's been propped up by being owned by NBC. You know what I mean?
It'll implode on its own if anyone buys it.
Eric, isn't he cruel?
He just wants it to collapse.
Yeah, honestly, I think Musk buying it would be infinitely funnier.
Just the first day he walks in!
Just puts a bunch of right-wing people on there, fires Matt out, fires the rest of them.
I hope he does.
I think that's a crueler fate.
Imagine Alex Marlowe running CNN. That'd be hilarious.
Andrew Breitbart would be smiling down at us.
I'm Sebastian Gorka.
This is America First.
Just don't go anywhere.
So when did CNN call it death?
I don't know.
I don't know about CNN, but I know...
That was MSNBC, right?
Yeah.
Yeah, I think MSNBC is the one he's talking about buying, not CNN, because they're the ones that Comcast spun off.
Oh, we're going to play Joy Reid!
Cut...
Eight.
Eight, yeah.
Alright, I need you guys to give me analysis on Rand Paul.
Come in with Rand Paul.
I want to know if that's woke or not.
Come in with six.
Yeah.
Well, actually...
They all caught up between 5.30 and 5.40.
I guarantee you that's the lowest rated hour.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah, totally.
It's like Fox is the only one to basically do it on time.
Funny enough.
Play cut one quickly.
Cut one...
But these states, much like the Confederacy, they want to go on their own.
They want to do their own thing.
To me, you've got a powerful weapon, among others, which is okay.
No federal funds.
Boom.
Last thoughts.
And that's going to happen.
I guarantee you, President Trump will do that.
Okay.
Actually, coming with three.
Coming with three.
Okay, yeah.
I might put it down before the end.
Okay.
Copy that.
One minute.
I'm sending an image for this segment.
mm-hmm it's big two versions if you can't open the pdf 30 seconds
Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.
Mm-hmm.
He targeted you specifically, saying that you would be dangerous.
No part of the FBI's mission is safe with Kash Patel in any position of leadership in the FBI, and certainly not in the Deputy Director's job.
From Andrew McCabe.
Your reaction?
Well, look, my 16-plus years in government service as a public defender, as a national security prosecutor, as a civilian in Joint Special Operations Command, leading President Trump's counterterrorism missions, taking out Baghdadi, returning hostages, serving as his deputy director of national intelligence, and lastly as chief of staff, the only thing I was beholden to was the United States Constitution.
And yes, I was the lead investigator.
We're exposed.
The Russiagate crimes that Comey, McCabe, Strzok, and Page and so many others committed.
And we reported to Congress those oversight matters.
And those were taken up through them in the right course to the American people.
So if anyone has a complaint about that and questions my unwavering commitment to the Constitution, I'm happy to talk to them about it.
I'm especially happy to talk to the media about it.
But you can look at my record and those calling me a danger, Let's just ask them for a proof, a piece of evidence that actually shows I've committed any constitutional violations or any ethical quandaries.
That's why Kash Patel should be the next FBI director, God willing.
Breaking news, guys.
Breaking news.
Breaking news.
This never happens.
Same day as Jack Smith requested the motion.
Guys, put it up.
Just put it up on the screen.
When I start talking, just put it up.
This is hot off the presses, signed by Tanya Chutkin, the U.S. attorney.
The motion to dismiss submitted this morning for case 23257 against Donald Trump is hereby granted and is dismissed without prejudice.
More winning, winning.
How long will Joy Reid last?
It's not looking good.
She's as broken as Rachel Maddow.
Cut eight.
People may not feel so confident that they're safe with you.
This is not crazy.
This is legitimate feelings of fear of you and a feeling that you might not be someone they could trust.
If this thing goes way south, autocracies go south.
Real fast and things get ugly and people get asked to do things and turn people in and point people out and turn on them.
And if you're voting affirmatively, gleefully for this, People might, I don't know, may not feel so confident in you anymore.
That's real, and you kind of have to live with it.
So if you think that you can vote for what people see as their destruction and then demand that they still are cool with you and kiki with you and have Thanksgiving with you, like, I think you're kind of missing the point of what people are upset about.
They're afraid.
And autocracy and fascism are things that are legitimate to be afraid of.
So, you may want to step back.
Jeff, why is she whispering about being afraid and then laughing?
I'm confused.
Because she will probably be the first one fired when MSNBC sold.
That's exactly why.
Joy Reid, broken as well.
Next up, let's talk about people who can't be broken.
Real men.
And the manhood hour here on America First.
Music by Ben Thede.
Music by Ben Thede.
Music by Ben Thede.
And in addition to having won the battleground states of North Carolina, I love these places, Georgia, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin.
We are now winning in Michigan, Arizona, Nevada, and Alaska, which would result in us carrying at least 315 electoral votes.
But it's much easier doing what the networks did, or whoever called it, because there was no other path.
There was no other path to victory.
We also have won the popular vote.
That was great.
Winning, winning, winning.
I think later in the hour we're going to have to play that clip from 2016 at the rally where President Trump said, you're going to get tired of winning.
You're going to say to me, stop the winning.
Too much winning.
We're not going to stop for the next four years.
And it's not just about politics.
It's about bringing back masculinity.
Bringing back the virtues upon which our nation, our republic, the greatest on God's green earth, was founded.
Let's explore all of that and so much more with the rare occurrence.
Victor Davis Hanson and others have done so, but it is a small group of individuals who get to be repeat stars on the Manhood Hour on this Monday afternoon.
We're delighted to be joined by a man who opens his mic for me every Wednesday on the XM Series, Breitbart Patriot Channel.
Mike Slater, greetings to you, my friend.
I'm glad I didn't shave this morning, so at least I look a little more masculine with those men you had in the intro there.
I mean, come on.
How do you put me next to those guys?
A little bit of a five o'clock shadow like Nixon, like the great Clint Eastwood as the man with no name is in order.
Absolutely.
I cheat.
If you've got a goatee, people can't see if you've shaved or not.
They just focus on the beard and then I can get away with not shaving as much as others do.
All right.
We have so much to discuss, Mike, and let's start right at the very top.
Um...
There's a foreigner, and it kind of plugs into the, it takes someone from outside to appreciate a nation, a system.
Sometimes we are too close to what we are living through.
And there's a man of the left who's a sensible individual, the chief political writer for Spiked Online in the UK, who I said something on a British channel, and then we got him on the show for an hour last week, which was so on the money, and I'd like to have you philosophize to ruminate over it, that what we did two weeks ago, three weeks ago now, isn't Politics.
It's not an election.
It is about a people finally saying, stop, standing athwart history and saying, we have had it with being told that we must be ashamed of our country.
We have had it with being told the virtues that we have celebrated.
Courage, valor, love of nation, love of God, love of family are bad, and we are taking back those virtues in a cultural shift.
Mike, how much of what the Patriots did three weeks ago was a political act, and how much of it was a deeper, spiritual, philosophical act?
Oh man, so many wonderful directions to go.
Brilliant question.
I'm going to steal an analysis from Constantine Kissin.
Ah, my buddy from Trigonometry, Constantine and Francis Foster.
Good guys.
Which one of his analyses, please, Mike?
I'm going to steal two of them and then I'm going to add my own.
He did a list of the top 10 reasons to his European friends why you shouldn't be shocked over in Europe as to what happened here in America.
Same to your point about it takes an outsider to really understand, perhaps more so than we are because we've lived it and we've only known it.
But his first point, he was Americans love their country and want it to be the best in the world.
America is a nation of people who conquered a continent and maybe we can get I'd love to get to some Thanksgiving in a little bit here because the pilgrims are my favorite people but they love strength they love winning and any leader who appeals to that has an automatic advantage his second thing which ties in is unlike Europeans American have not accepted managed decline yeah they don't have net zero here they believe in producing their own energy making it as cheap as possible because they know that their prosperity depends on 2008 Europe and America had the same GDP
just in 2008. Today, ours is 50% greater than theirs.
They have accepted in Europe the same standard of living for the last 40 years, and they're just okay with that.
And we're not in America, and we never have been.
We want to win.
We know nothing different in America, my and your lifetime, than being the best in the world.
We win the gold medals.
We always win the most gold medals.
We have the Hollywood.
We make the movies.
We set the culture.
The best athletes in the world come here.
We have the richest people.
We have the best businesses.
We set the tone and tenor, not just of military around the world, but the culture around the world.
That is all we've ever known, and I'm not giving that up.
Maybe if someone else wants to do something better, maybe.
But I'm not going to let our own culture and our own cultural leaders destroy us from within.
That is not acceptable and we're not doing that.
And that's why I want to add a third in there if I can, Dr. Gorka.
We did this segment recently.
There was one pivotal moment in the campaign with Kamala, and I don't want to overlook it.
It was one of her rallies.
I don't know what it was.
Milwaukee, maybe.
And Megan Thee Stallion got up there.
Now this is a rapper, right?
Yeah, this female rapper.
And she gets up there at this rally.
And just the most grotesque, like these female rappers say they do this, eh, eh, eh.
It's like this disgusting sounds and all that.
And the whole thing is just disgusting.
And I really think the American people looked at that.
There's literally a woman in the background holding her ears too.
But I think the American people looked at that and like the whole progressive aesthetic that we've been living under for a long time.
And we're just like, Nope.
No more of that.
We're done.
We're not even going to pretend anymore.
We've had this cultural ugliness for a long time.
I'll give you one more example.
Melania, when she decorated the White House for Christmas.
Beautiful.
Stunning.
The trees, the lights, classic, traditional, beautiful.
Jill Biden, when she released a Christmas video last Christmas, And it was like the gayest, like theater rejects.
Oh, it was some kind of little LGBTQ LMNOP dance troupe, right?
So ugly.
They had like furries in it and it was just disgusting.
And I think the American people are just like, we're done with all of that ugly progressive aesthetic.
We want to get back to what is good, what is beautiful, what is true, what is proper.
And we're just done with all of So yeah, it's the border, and it's the economy, it's all that.
But I think subliminally, underneath all of that, is just a rejection of all this progressive filth and ugliness.
That's what I hope, anyway.
Fabulous.
I'm just making notes for the rest of the hour.
And when you look at those events, how much also is it a function of The people who invite such individuals to endorse them or pay for them seem to have lost any sense of what life for an average American is like, Mike.
Yeah.
I think it was Whoopi who said, I know what it's like to not have made difficult to make ends meet.
That's why I'm working here.
I have to work too.
It was her.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Whoopee!
I don't know, are you making like $20 million a year or something like that?
I think it's a good thing that these people have lost their cultural influence.
I think it's good that the media has lost their cultural influence.
These celebrities, they brought nothing good to us in the last 50 or so years.
I just popped on one of the music apps and I put on Thanksgiving, like a Thanksgiving playlist.
And it was all beautiful music from the 50s with some jazz thrown in and some Nat King Cole and Bing Cry.
It was just so wholesome and good and lovely.
And those were good people that brought in a good culture.
And if you're going to do that, then yeah, maybe I'll listen to your political leanings as well.
But these people have given us such ugliness for so long.
It's like, get out of here, people.
I don't care about you guys at all.
And they deserve whatever division we give them.
I think we have to focus on this word, the ugliness, the rejection of ugliness.

What a great idea.
We've got President Trump in the garbage truck pulling up to the White House.
He's back.
Get your celebratory tea right now.
SebGawkerStore.com That's S-E-B-G-O-R-K-A SebGawkerStore.com Let's start with one of my concerns, please, Mike.
How worried are you that this is a unique moment?
President Trump can only serve four years.
What he symbolizes, his warrior spirit, indefatigable commitment to saving our nation, cannot be replicated.
He cannot be re-elected after his second four-year term.
Are there things happening out there?
Are you getting callers?
Are you seeing things in the culture whereby you believe we will build upon this cultural and not just political victory?
Or will we be desperately searching for the next Donald Trump over the next four years?
What a great question.
I hope we're not.
I hope by then we take up the mantle ourselves.
One man can only do so much.
We only have one savior, right?
It's been encouraging and fun to see, to go back to your opening about winning and how much we love it, to see all the people feel liberated enough to do the Trump dance when they score a goal or score a touchdown.
It's just been fun to see that.
Let me just interrupt you there.
How significant is that?
Because you had the NFL last week say, yeah, we don't have a problem with this.
So to go from Kaepernick disrespecting the anthem, the flag, to having UFC fighters, people in college football, NFL, doing the happy YMCA presidential dance, is this just cute or could it be bigger, Mike?
No, it's the easiest analogy ever, but I have to make it.
It's the Wizard of Oz.
It's the revealing of the curtain, like taking the curtain back and you're like, oh.
You're the people who have been telling us what we're allowed to think and what we're allowed to do and allowed to say.
Like, oh, I thought you were a way more powerful force than you really are.
Like, to heck with you guys.
Like, we're going to say what we really think now.
I hope it's more lasting.
Plus, it's a great little dance and the song has been around for a while.
So, hey.
It's quite ironic that the Village People's song is the take back America, we love family values, we love the greatest nation on earth.
And it's also this thing that anybody at any age, I mean, this is not a complicated dance move to do, right?
No, we'll capture it, the whole thing for ourselves.
Make it our own.
But on your point, I've always said that we cannot save this country through a political movement because we weren't founded as a political movement.
And eventually we'll get to Thanksgiving here coming up.
But we weren't a political movement up front.
We were much more than that.
And we have to continue to be more than that.
And we also can't outsource everything to the government.
We can't outsource anything to Trump.
That's so unfair to him.
If only he could, but he can't and he shouldn't.
We have to do it ourselves.
We can only save this country through virtue.
Politics is one of the tools in our tool belt, and now we can hand it to him and they can go with, as you always say, take a blowtorch to everything that's been tyrannizing us.
Um, Alexis de Tocqueville said 200 years ago, he said, what's going to tyrannize this country is the administrative state.
He called it 200 years ago, and that's exactly right.
So he'll take a blowtorch to that.
Great.
But then we have to carry it on and live lives of virtue.
Otherwise it won't work.
And all of our founders all said this.
There's no way this country will survive if we're not a people of virtue.
And if I may, like, We're not.
God spared us.
Since when have we failed to live up to that nation of virtue?
When did the rock, was it the 60s?
When did it really start?
I have a book somewhere here, and the gentleman makes the case, it's called The Setting Sun or something, the gentleman makes the case that Like right away.
It's a book about the lament that John Adams and Thomas Jefferson had for the path our country was going.
They're like, Jefferson was like, I wish we could have at least made it through my lifetime.
But here I am seeing, you know, we're losing track of what we really need to be in our country to make it work.
You know, and I think only by the grace of God we've been able to last as long as we have.
But I wish I could point, I mean...
But you agree with that, that the rot began almost instantly?
Well, sure, we're fallen man.
So it began back in the fall, right?
And it was a little blip of an accident of history that we were able to even to create a vision of morality that we could pretend or try to live at all.
So I think it's from the beginning.
If I had to pick something, I mean, I guess the rise of cultural Marxism, whenever that was, like the 40s and 50s, like that's when it became more...
What would you say?
More defined and like more of like an ordered destruction?
More organized, no?
More organized?
That's right.
That's right.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
More organized like throughout the institutions and throughout all the aspects of society.
So I'd say like that movement in the 50s, 60s ramping up.
But I mean, we're sinful people.
So, you know, always.
But back to my original question, are you seeing something positive that goes beyond just one election cycle, one victory?
Yeah, my wife told me just yesterday that, I don't know if it's true, but I'm not going to discredit what my wife tells me, that Bible sales have gone up 22%.
Wow.
That's a good start.
You know what I mean?
So like, those are the things that it's going to take.
And I said the other day, what did I say?
I said there's two things that I would need to see that we're really improving.
And the first is when we build beautiful buildings again.
Yes.
That is the first.
And what about when art?
We had him on the show.
My wife met him first.
There's this New York artist who just refused to stop Lobbied everybody, including the Washington government, and we now have this unbelievable, massive World War I sculpture, a block from the White House, that is like anything on any ancient Roman Greek temple, just beautiful classical art.
I think the return to classical art is another indicator, don't you, Mike?
I'd be so proud if my eight-year-old son grows up to be an architecture and builds beautiful things.
And I'm encouraged because Elon just the other day tweeted out a video of the Colosseum and a castle, St. Angelo's Castle in Rome, and also a video of the newly restored Notre Dame Cathedral.
And it's like, oh, wow, he, a pretty influential guy right now, is noticing the importance of beauty and rebuilding.
And every culture has, every political system has built beautiful things as a statement for who they are and what they believe.
And we haven't done that in a really long time.
And we've only made things more ugly.
Nature is on its own beautiful, and we uglify it.
And we have, and we've got to get back to that.
So when we start building beautiful things again, I'll know that we're on the right track.
That's a word.
Uglify.
Look it up.
I miss that tweet from Elon.
He does tweet rather a lot.
Never miss any of our breaking news.
Be abreast of all of it.
Follow us on social media.
Mike's at Slater Radio.
Look for me, Seb Gawker, or Sebastian Gawker on all the usual platforms.
Truth Social, Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, Parler, Getter, Telegram.
You can watch us by downloading the Salem News Channel app.
And for my original analyses and direct access to me, go to my substack, sebastiangawker.substack.com.
That's my whole name.
One word, sebastiangawker.substack.com.
If you see something that said, take a look at what happened.
Get down, get down, get down, get down.
Get down, get down, get down.
I promise everyone we will get to Thanksgiving and the Puritans.
We will get to what we celebrate this week, but first, Mike...
I don't want to put words in your mouth but I'm sure you'll agree with me.
What we witnessed this summer in Pennsylvania has not been adequately dissected, discussed because...
What that man did, who's never worn a uniform, apart from his military high school, is truly remarkable.
I mean, I've worn a uniform.
I played around as soldiers in the British Territorial Army.
And I'm positive that if I'd been shot in the head by a bullet traveling at, you know, 3,000 feet per second, and if I saw the blood on my hand, I'd stand there, stock still frozen, and I'd say, oh my gosh, I've been shot.
This man instantly knew what happened.
Once his protective detail was around him, he took charge of the situation, which you're not supposed to do as the principle.
Once shots are fired, you are not in control of your body.
You are whisked away into an armored vehicle.
Then, covered in blood, he raised his fist and says, fight, fight, fight.
There is really nothing more warrior-like.
than President Trump's response, and I think in large part feeds into the victory on November the 5th.
How significant was the comportment of that man in terms of saying, you know what, this is what courage looks like, Mike?
Yeah, it hasn't been properly analyzed because it cannot be properly articulated.
It's impossible to fully understand what happened.
It was an absolute miracle in every way.
There's a movie I saw a long time ago.
The name is escaping me.
It's with Will Ferrell and Julia Louise Dreyfus.
And it's a horrible movie.
It's just terrible.
But I think about it all the time.
So I guess it can't be that bad.
But the gist of it is they go on a ski trip.
Their husband and wife.
They go on a ski trip and they're at the apres ski thing, like halfway up the mountain.
And the avalanche is starting to come down.
And he, it's him, his wife, and his two young boys.
He runs.
and leaves his wife and two kids behind and the avalanche misses and he comes back trying to act as if he wasn't just an abject coward and the whole rest of the movie is his wife and his two kids what happens when they lose all respect for their dad whose number one priority every man in this man hour is to protect and he fails And it's a horrible movie because it's so sad.
And it should be a great fear of every man.
And every man should do everything they can on the front end to make sure that they never react like that.
The film you do not want to see is called Downhill, okay, for the record.
That's right.
Yeah, I watched it on an airplane and I was like, this movie, I thought it'd be funny because they had two comedians.
But what was the logic?
Were they trying to say that this is what you don't do or was it just done for laughs?
No, no, no, no laughs.
Not funny at all.
It was definitely a tragic tale of what happens when a man abjects or loses respect because he fails in his masculine calling.
So in that way, it's good.
It's just really sad to watch this man...
Lose his family because he ran.
So to Trump's point, he could have lost everything and lost all respect if he acted like a coward.
In fact, he did the exact opposite, something any man would pray that they would do in a situation like that.
And that is the moment he won the presidency.
I think he won it before that because God's hand was clearly on the whole thing.
But if you want to look at it...
Because some people say it was the mugshot, but you think it's Butler.
Now, mugshot's cool, but you can take a good picture or a BA picture.
You can look kind of tough for a second.
You can practice that.
I think he only had one take at the mugshot, but you know what I mean?
You can kind of get in character or whatever.
No one was like, hey, Mr. Trump, you're going to get shot in the ear in a couple minutes.
And when you do, why don't you do this?
There was no pretending about that.
You can't fake it.
And that's the height of masculinity.
That's every man's dream, is when you're in a moment like this to act like that.
And you never know until you're in it.
And he did, like, Save a Private Ryan, right?
That scene in Save a Private Ryan, when they're fighting in the building, and the guy's doing, like, hand-to-hand combat with the German guy, and he ends up killing him, and he comes down.
No, no, no.
The German kills the American, and the German guy comes down the stairs, and the American is there just shaking, and he's terrified, and he can't move, he can't do anything, and the German actually takes pity on him and just walks by him because he knows he's useless.
You're like, oh, like...
I pray I'm never that guy in a situation like that.
And Trump wasn't.
And how could you not want to follow a man like that?
That is the example that we all wish we could give.
President Trump demonstrated it live across the world, and I agree with Mike, it's one of the reasons he will be sworn in on January the 20th as the Commander-in-Chief for a second time.
We're talking to the host of Breitbart News Daily.
Tune in every Wednesday for my guest slot there.
Follow Mike at Slater Radio.
I know what President Trump is.
He loves America.
There's no question.
When he stands up at that podium, he exudes passion for this nation.
And Pastor Hibbs said, yeah, that's why they hate him.
Because he loves the thing they hate.
They hate him by transference.
And it was a crystallizing moment for me.
There's no reason...
He's just lost half a billion dollars in fines.
They banned him from business in New York, the city that he brought probably about $20 billion to, at least, in business and trade.
And he's still running.
He could step down.
He's still running.
Why?
It's not to be famous.
His last name was a global brand 40 years ago.
Why is he running?
Because he loves America.
That's why they hate him.
That's my take on why they hate him.
That guy's voice.
Is my voice really that low?
That is.
On Mike Slater's show, they hate him and they lost and the Patriots won.
Let's celebrate.
No better way to do it.
Well, if you like cigars, we've waited years looking for a cigar worthy of our webpage, and we've done it with the amazing John Adams line of Liberty cigars.
It's Dr. G's Teddy Roosevelt line.
The George Washington sold out almost immediately.
Get your Teddy Roosevelt today.
They're really that good.
SebGorkaStore.com.
That's S-E-B-G-O-R-K-A, SebGorkaStore.com.
And the Dr. G Teddy Roosevelt cigars.
I'm going to flip the mic on you now, Mr. Slater.
I said they hate him because he loves America.
Why are men the classic epitome, the exemplar of manhood?
What's the real reason the quote-unquote elite hates classic masculinity?
Oh, masculinity in general.
I thought you were going to ask why they hate Trump himself.
Well, we can start with that.
Let's start with the individual, and then we'll move over to the exemplar.
Okay, real quick, Teddy Roosevelt, best book on Teddy Roosevelt is River of Doubt, about the time that he traveled down a previously undiscovered river in South Africa.
Like, what in the world?
Who is this guy?
River of Doubt is the name of the book.
It's great.
The reason they pay Trump, in addition to what you just said, is because they think he betrayed them.
Explain that.
Because he was part of the Manhattan set or what?
Yeah, he was a rich guy.
Like a rich guy.
He's like, you're supposed to be one of us.
What are you doing?
What are you doing hanging out with the people?
But the truth is they had it wrong all along.
Trump was never one of them.
Ever.
Trump's defining thing is he always listened to the people over the elite, over the consultants.
Whenever he would buy a new property, he'd be like, all right, listen, you guys can give me the report on it, but I'm going to go talk to the cab drivers on the street.
I'm going to see what they think about the neighborhood.
Let me jump in here because this is really important.
People don't appreciate this about the man and they probably won't believe it.
But talk to people who know him and ask if she was still alive, Anderson Cooper's mother, who was the actual person who made it possible for President Trump to enter the Manhattan glitterati because he really hates it.
I mean, he's not comfortable in that environment.
Yes, he's got the gold tower in Manhattan, but it's not his scene.
He's the kid from Queens.
That's who he is.
And I think of just one story that was shared with us live on the show when the Gold Star parents of the 13 murdered in Kabul when Biden surrendered to Afghanistan.
They meant to meet the president.
These are working class Americans who've lost their daughters, their brothers, their husbands.
They go to meet President Trump and it's supposed to be a half an hour meet and greet and they're still there Four hours later in his private club as he's playing music for them on his iPad as he's hosted.
Four hours later because these are the kinds of people President Trump prefers to hang out with as opposed to the quote-unquote elite and the glitterati.
All right, so that's him.
Why do they hate any kind of man who looks like a classic embodiment of what a man should be?
Yeah, if I may.
I don't know how often you want to go here, Dr. Gorka, but this is my instinct to always go here.
People hate God, and they hate God's Word, and they hate what God tells us to be and who we are supposed to be.
So the masculine characteristics of providing and protecting.
Sebastian Jung, not a Christian, but he has the four archetypes of masculinity.
It's the The warrior, king, magician, and lover.
And I really like that archetype.
Hang on, hang on.
The warrior, king, magician, and lover.
Okay, carry on.
Yeah, they're really good.
It's a quick, short book written about that, and it's really, really good.
And there's a shadow archetype to each of those and all the rest.
It's really good.
But that's who we're called to be.
There are biblical truths in this as well.
We're called to partake in God's creation.
God takes chaos, made order out of chaos, and that's what men are supposed to do as well.
We're supposed to take things that are in disorder and bring them together, like the head of the household, the head of the family.
You used to come home after work, and maybe the kids are a little wild or whatever, but your presence It brings peace and order.
To the chaos around you.
The warrior is supposed to protect.
The magician is you make beautiful things out of ugly.
And the, what was the other word?
Lover.
Oh, my goodness.
You love.
You love the things that are important.
You love the things around you that matter.
So those are biblical truths.
And obviously, Satan and his influence in a fallen world is going to cause people to rebel against all of that.
And they find new clever ways to do it, right?
And they'll call it feminism, and they'll call it this or that.
Call it Marxism.
They'll call it helping the oppressed and the marginalized.
Whatever.
They'll come up with new ways.
Social justice, Mike.
It's social justice.
Perfect.
Perfect.
Whatever it is.
But it's just rebellion against God always.
So go back to God's word and you can find the truth.
Wonderful.
Do you remember, these are my favorite kind of guests, when they leave you homework and multiple titles of books in one hour that you need to read.
I'm familiar with his, what is it, War, his book.
Which one of Jung's books is The Four Archetypes?
Do you remember?
Yeah, so someone else wrote it.
Let me look it up right now.
Okay.
Someone else wrote it about Young.
It's by Douglas Gillette and Robert Moore.
King, warrior, magician, lover.
Super short.
Really, really good way of looking at the world.
All right, Douglas Gillette.
Check it out.
And while you are online, ordering that.
And also, I've got it already on my Audible, teed-up, River of Doubt, Theodore Roosevelt's Darkest Journey.
Make sure you're following Mike as well at Slater Radio right now.
And you will always find me on his show every Wednesday morning at 8 a.m.
Eastern.
on the XM Sirius Breitbart Daily News Patriot Channel.
Oh my gosh, I've only left you the last segment of the show before we get to your take on Thanksgiving and those funny shoes that the Puritans wore.
Remember, Katie's podcast for real-life stories of warriors behind enemy lines every single week.
Tune in to the Happy Women podcast with Katie Gorka and Jennifer Horne wherever you get podcasts.
That's the Happy Women podcast, Katie Gorka and Jennifer Horne.
Alright, what is Thanksgiving about?
Tell an immigrant to this nation what it's about, Mike.
Our pilgrims, they're my favorite people.
They're our spiritual ancestors in every single way.
They were living under a king who said, if you practice your faith this way, we're going to kill you.
And they said, alright, our option is to go to Holland, which some did, but they didn't like it there.
Uh, and the other option was to hop on a boat and travel across the ocean to an unknown planet, an unknown world, uh, where other people have gone before.
Like they knew about Roanoke and they knew that everyone died.
They knew what they were getting into, but they said we're going to do it anyway.
And they hopped on a boat, two boats, the Mayflower and the Speedwell.
And the Speedwell sprung a leak right away.
So they all crammed into one boat, 102 of them with 30, uh, crew in this just, just, The deck below the deck is five feet tall.
It's pitch black.
It's damp.
Clothes are rotting.
You're wet all the time.
You're rattling back and forth.
You get 100 foot swells that you're riding on for two months.
It's disgusting in every way.
You got your chamber pots that are falling over in the middle of the night.
It's a two month journey.
You get there and because of the delay, it's now wintertime.
So now you got to hang out on the shore for another five months.
And that's where half of the people died around you.
Half of everyone dying from disease, starving to death, freezing to death.
And you continue on because you know your mission is to glorify God in your life.
And you need to worship your God in the way that you know is best.
And you're not going to let anything stop you.
And then you get there and you have to do everything.
You have to cut down the trees to build a house.
And our pilgrims, they never stop.
They're the most courageous people I've ever studied in my life.
And I'll wrap up here.
I know we got to go, but we're about to hop in the car and go to grandma's house in a little bit.
It's like a four hour drive.
And I know my kids are going to complain partially along the way.
And I'm going to give it to him, Dr. Corgan.
I'm not going to hold back.
I'm going to tell him all about the pilgrims.
Good.
When you get to Nene's house, there's a bed and food waiting for you.
When you got to the New World, there was nothing there.
And that's who we are.
Those are our people.
Those are our founding grandfathers.
And I want us all to pay more attention to these people and not just our founding fathers, who are amazing too.
But our founding fathers came from someone.
They came from somewhere.
They came from our pilgrims.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I'm just going to do stream of consciousness now with my background in the UK and in the Territorial Army and knowing some of the people who served in Hereford at what is called the Regiment.
And I think it's...
Not an accident that there is a memorial poem celebrated by the Special Air Service, the toughest of the tough in the British Army, and it's about a pilgrim.
It's the golden journey to Samarkand, and there's a reason that the toughest men in the British Army from the regiment, from the SAS, refer to each other as pilgrims.
So whether it's this side of the Atlantic or the other, Be more like a pilgrim, and that's what we will celebrate this Thanksgiving.
God bless you, Mike Slater.
That felt like three minutes, not an hour.
