Time Text
Thank you.
Thank you.
Thank you.
.
Really?
That's a bit weird.
Jeff, is that Da Nang Dick?
Is that the member of Congress who lied about serving in Vietnam?
Yes, that is.
That's the same one.
Shouldn't that be a person who shuts up about nominees to run the Pentagon?
Yeah, I'd like to see him go through the nomination process.
Because he lied about serving in Vietnam.
No, he misremembered.
Oh, because it's easy.
It's like going down to the shops and you thought you were in Vietnam.
Yeah, exactly.
What did you say as we're preparing?
Oh, by the way, hello.
I'm Sebastian Gorka.
This is America First.
Jeff, what did you say about that weird clip?
What did he say there about Pete Hexeth?
He says, five to ten Republicans told me they're not going to vote for him.
What's weird about that?
When you're in this confirmation process, you know the exact number they're going to vote against him because you know exactly the number that you need to get to have him not confirmed.
Have you ever said anything like, you know, organizing a tailgater or having a picnic?
I spoke to between five or ten of my friends.
Have you ever used that phraseology?
No, the only time I say that, someone says, I can't remember how much you owe me for lunch.
I say it's five or ten when it's ten.
Oh dear, oh dear.
Okay, let's do a little bit of live radio.
Keep the camera on me, but in the meantime...
Jeff, will you coordinate with John in the next few minutes and we'll do this.
You know, keep the camera on me.
Guys, pay attention.
Thank you.
So let's do this for the rest of this hour.
Jeff, you know the four rhinos.
Will you just get their names and their office numbers for the Senate?
And let's rotate them through the chyron, John, for the next hour.
So everybody watching, and when I read them out, we can just put the pressure on.
Thanks to a friend of mine, more than 50,000 texts were sent to Capitol Hill in the last 18 hours.
To put pressure on the rhinos who don't understand that 77 million Americans voted for President Trump to be the commander-in-chief and for him to pick his team.
So I want to be a force multiplier for my friend.
You know who you are.
Thank you very much for organizing that.
To keep the pressure on the swamp.
So whether it's Lindsey Graham or Kowski or Mitch McConnell, let's rotate those numbers through.
Keep the pressure on.
Because Pete, as he told Megyn Kelly yesterday, I don't think he is going to give up very soon.
This is cut three yesterday.
Combat veteran Pete Hegseth.
I had a member not 45 minutes ago look me in the eye in private, just he and I, and say, that's what they're trying to do to you.
That's what they're trying to do to you.
That's their playbook.
Get ready for more.
And they're going to make it up.
Just like they have so far.
All anonymous.
All innuendo.
All rumor.
Nothing sourced.
No verification.
And they're just going to keep doing it.
Because you're a threat to them.
You're a threat to their system.
You're a threat to all the things in Washington DC. The swamp.
The things that people have rejected.
You're a threat to that.
And so they're coming after you.
And I know that.
He knows that.
And when you stand firm on that, it's not difficult to just continue to fight.
I'm very glad that Pete is out in the open.
He's not just walking the corridors of power in Congress, in the Senate yesterday.
Today it's Vivek Ramaswamy and Elon Musk who are meeting with the important, or the people who think they're important, On Capitol Hill.
It was Pete yesterday.
I'm glad to see him in the media giving, I think it was an hour and 20 minutes he spoke to Meghan.
I've asked him to come on the show.
Hopefully we'll get him on in the next few days here on America First.
Let me expand upon what he said.
He was quite polite.
He talked about that he's a threat to the system.
What system?
Money.
It's really about money.
Think of the vested interest On the Armed Services Committee, amongst those senators who, well, let's just say, are favored by certain companies who have plants, who have headquarters in their districts, or who just have been very generous to their campaigns in the past.
It is a multi, multi, multi-billion dollar business.
The waste in the graft is quite immeasurable.
That clip we've played here on numerous occasions, on my Newsmax show as well, of then-Congressman Mike Waltz, who is the National Security Advisor-designate to President-elect President Trump, That clip of him holding up a bag of regular steel washers and asking the Secretary of the Air Force,
Mr. Secretary, do you know how much American taxpayers paid for this bag of washers?
And the ignorant political appointee Probably a holdover from Obama.
A woke-a-rista working for Biden and Harris.
I don't know.
I don't know, Mr. Congressman.
$100,000.
$100,000!
If that's the grift on a bag, a two-pound bag of steel washers...
How much money is at stake if a disruptor of the ilk of President Trump, chosen personally by him, comes in as the Secretary of Defense above all the armed services,
above all the acquisition programs, with the power of To go in there and say, no, I am going to be a good steward of the American taxpayer's fortune that has been fritted away, not just on what the president calls stupid wars, 20 years of stupid wars, but also on the bloat, on the waste.
Acquisition programs that have gone into excess to the tune of billions of dollars overrun their calendars, not by weeks or months, but by years.
That's the real reason.
It's got nothing to do with what Pete Heckseth did in a hotel room seven years ago.
It's got nothing to do with whether or not he enjoys an alcoholic beverage now and again.
It's got to do with one thing and one thing alone.
He's an agent of change.
In a city that is ripe for change.
In a nation that elected a disruptor and an agent of change for their commander-in-chief who has decided to surround himself with the likes of Pete Hexeth, Kash Patel, Elon Musk, Vivek Ramaswamy because the American people demand it.
So Pete, I know you get my text because you responded last night, but if you're listening, hold the line.
The cavalry is coming.
Do not retreat.
The President Trump has been very clear to you.
He has your back.
Don't back down like someone else recently did, because we need people like you to drain the swamp, to stop the grift, to end the bloat, to stop the corruption.

Thank you.
I will write to my dad about what happened.
And one Christmas gift I got from Angel Tree was a drawing pad.
That was my favorite.
I also got paint and colored pencils.
I knew he knew what I wanted and he got the right thing.
My name is Joseph and I love Angel Tree.
He sounds happy, doesn't he?
Because of you, because of the donations you make every year to the prison fellowship for the children who have an incarcerated parent this Yuletide.
Joseph had a better Christmas because of the $30 that someone donated to get him a Christmas gift from his incarcerated parent.
A children's Bible and a note from that person behind bars.
More than 70% of these children end up in prison themselves.
We want to break this cycle by making them feel a little bit safer and a little bit more loved this Christmas.
You could literally be saving a life.
$30 per child.
Be as generous as you can.
Go to my website, sebgorka.com, click on the Angel Tree banner, or call them up to make your tax-deductible donation, 888-206-2794.
That's 888-206-2794.
S-E-B-G-O-R-K-A, and the Change a Child's Christmas banner at the top.
Breaking news, they're playing right now live.
Pete Hexeth from In the Corridors of Power saying, I am going to fight all the way.
That's exactly what we need.
And we need, as with Tom Homan, to have the likes of Kash Patel, Pete Hexeth coming out of every media faucet we open with the same kind of energy and fortitude and uprightness as this person demonstrates in this clip.
Joe Biden!
Because he wasn't president when he took his boxes in six different locations, in Chinatown, in his car next to his son who's doing God knows what with God knows who.
But that is what they do.
They hide what they've done by going after Trump.
Look at the shiny ball, everybody.
Don't look at us.
Well, they've got one year.
And then we're going to be looking at them.
Deep and hard.
And I'll tell you right now, if I'm in Washington, I'll be relentless too.
Well, I'm waiting for that announcement for the desk at Mar-a-Lago.
It's not a year any longer.
It's six weeks to go.
And let's talk to that lady who is a warrior for truth and justice, attorney to the president, senior advisor to his campaign, Alina Haber.
Welcome back to America First.
Welcome, welcome, and congratulations to my dear friend for going to Washington.
I'm so excited for you to be there.
Well, well, well, we need everyone inside the building, people the president can trust.
Hopefully there will be some announcement imminently bearing your name on it as well.
You have the freedom to talk about all of these issues in a rather unfettered fashion.
So let's talk about what they're doing to my friend, Kash Patel, and also to Pete Hegseth.
Here is a clip from the lunatic New York Times quote-unquote journalist Michelle Goldberg concerning President Trump's choice for director of the FBI. Cut to...
It's not ideal to have an incoming potential head of the FBI, Kash Patel, who has published enemies lists.
But one advantage of that is that he wrote a book, he has an enemies list in it, so we know exactly who he has threatened to go after without cause.
Just pardon everyone on it.
Well, there is no enemies list in Cash's book.
There is a list of those malefactors who denuded Americans of their civil rights.
And I'm curious, Alina, why are we paying attention to any of these people?
Why is anyone on the right even listening to these lunatics?
Shouldn't we just, you know, damn the torpedoes full speed ahead?
I don't think anybody is listening to them.
If they did, maybe they should check the election results on November 5th.
I think it's pretty clear that the fear-mongering that the left resorts to when they're afraid is obvious and the American people don't really buy it.
The alleged list that he's talking about is exactly what you said.
Cash Patel was the first person to come out with Devin Younes, as you know, and you were there.
For the Russia hoax and call it out.
That there was a fake dossier.
He did things like that.
And then for years they've been denying, denying, denying.
Until Hillary Clinton paid a fine for doing exactly that.
And it was swept under the rug.
All Cash is saying is, and he's my friend and your friend.
We know him personally.
This is not an evil man.
This is a kind person who cares about America.
And all he's saying is, it's time to hold the deep state accountable.
What you have done to the destruction of America, we will not stand for it anymore.
We need to clean it up.
And he's going to restore faith.
In the FBI, something the American people don't have.
So what is the right way to proceed, given that we have these noises on Capitol Hill, we have rhino senators?
It seems as if they don't realize that the president broke his incumbency record exactly a month ago today and received 77 million votes.
Is this just the upper house banging its chest trying to look tough, or is this a serious threat to the president's nominees?
No, I think that this is them scaring them.
This is what they always do.
This is nothing new.
You know that.
This is politics.
They try and freak you out.
They make you run scared and a foul.
And it's not going to happen because the people that the president is picking are strong people that already knew this was going to happen, right?
Yeah, in a perfect world, you have a every soundbite is perfect and you don't say anything.
That way you can go through and have to go through Congress and have no problem with your with your hearings.
But that's not real life.
And the people he's picking are strong people who speak their mind.
That's the whole reason he's picking them.
So we expect this.
But America spoke loudly that they agree in America first politicians.
They agree in an America First cabinet.
And that's what Donald Trump's doing.
He is picking the America First individuals who will not be weak at the knees.
And America cannot be weak at the knees either.
They weren't on November 5th.
And I think they're standing.
Look, we know the game.
I don't think it's frankly scaring anybody.
I think we know everyone's going to have to go through their process.
And it's going to be rough.
And they're ready for it.
So, if it goes through, I've got to ask you, especially given maybe some impending announcement, what is the tactic and what is the strategy for the next four years?
Because I would like to see everyone who represents the president in front of a microphone, in front of a television camera, treat the lying legacy media for the propagandists that they are.
Can we hope for that for the next four years, Alina Haber?
If I go in, I assure you that's what's going to happen.
I just can tell you this much, Sebastian.
There has not been a day, even when Washington was not on the plate, that I didn't operate that way.
If you're going to lie to me, if you're going to lie to the American people on camera with a microphone, I'm going to call you out for it.
That's for damn sure.
So I know that we have a great team so far.
I know that anybody that he's selected, including you, doesn't take their you-know-what.
And we're not going to stop.
So I think that that's what America needs.
We don't believe in propaganda.
We don't believe in media.
We believe media now is getting censored, is getting edited.
And look at what they did with Kamala Harris' interview.
Why didn't that transcript ever come out?
Anybody that goes to D.C., anybody that stands with Trump, We're going to have the kahunas to call these people out, and they better be ready to do it or have somebody who's ready to do it for them on TV, because America needs restored faith.
That's what we need.
We have to fix a lot of stuff, and we also have to make sure the American people believe that we're doing it for them because we are.
And that only works one way, and that's calling out anybody who's going to lie on media and anybody who's saying nonsense like they are about cash right now, like they are about Pete Hegseth for things that have nothing to do with him doing his job.
And we've got to stand up for it.
That's it.
That's just the American way.
She's ready.
She's got the armor of truth.
Stay tuned for an announcement.
God willing, follow her.
In the meantime, Adelina Haber on all social media.
God bless you.
Keep doing what you do.
I'm Sebastian Gorka.
This is America First.
Thank you.
Thank you.
I'm going to go.
Yo, hey guys, can you hear me?
Yes.
Do you have a title for that?
Um...
Oh, by the way, the fourth one you wanted was Ernst, right?
Yes.
Yeah, you know the ones.
Yeah.
Lindsey Graham said that he was going to support him last night.
Graham said he was better with him last night.
Better?
Or is he going to vote for him?
He only said something weird.
The four that was Murkowski, McConnell, Collins, and Ernst.
Alright, hang on.
Let's do all of them.
Collins, Murkowski, McConnell, Ernst, and Graham.
John, when you're ready, just roll through them.
Do you want Lindsey Graham on there?
And I'll just read them when you do them.
How you doing, buddy?
You ready for our chat on Monday with Alex?
Yeah, exciting.
It's going to be fun.
Oh, definitely.
By the way, congratulations.
Thank you, buddy.
Exciting stuff.
Thank you.
Yep.
Thank you.
I think Pete's going to get through, by the way.
Well, let's talk about that.
Yeah.
Let's talk about that.
That's literally been my obsession the last several days.
Good.
Yep.
Okay, Joni Ernst, good, that's good.
Yeah, 202-224-5972. 202-224-5972.
Come in with four, John, and then I'll do my pillow.
So is Jamie coming in, Jeff?
Yes.
Nice.
Did you get a title there?
We're not going to take their crap.
Crap.
That's good, right?
Yeah.
And then for A. A.
Why they're sabotaging Pete Hegseth.
A.
A.
Almost anyone would be better than Hegseth.
And my prediction is we won't be talking about him by Monday.
I think that he's going to be facing so much pressure to withdraw from Republicans as well as Democrats.
He could end his nomination by the end of the day.
Danang Dick Blumenthal, as Jeff said, I would love to see a confirmation hearing for him as Secretary of Defense talking about, yeah, I thought I went to Vietnam.
I was a little bit confused.
I never left the continental United States, but I said I did.
Wow, just the sheer utter filth.
We're going to explore the chances of Pete Hexeth's candidacy momentarily with a man who knows DC better than most.
But first, please support Mike Lindell.
Christmas season is a perfect place to get your stocking stuffers, treats for your loved ones, even your four-legged friends.
Killian and Leia, my hounds, love their MyPillow pet beds.

You will not get that offer anywhere else.
Call in, talk to a human being.
Don't do that interweb stuff.
800-829-8468, mypillow.com.
That's 800-829-8468, mypillow.com, with the secret code, G-O-R-K-A. All right, he said something very interesting in the break, because he's been working this issue day in, day out for days.
He is the Washington Bureau Chief for the Conservative.
Juggernaut, that is Breitbart.com.
Matt Boyle, you sound pretty confident about our buddy Pete's nomination.
Yeah, I think Pete Hegseth is looking pretty good right now for a Senate confirmation.
In fact, as of an hour ago, every single Republican on the Senate Armed Services Committee, with one exception, Senator Joni Ernst, has signaled that they are open to supporting him.
I get it.
Senators go through their process.
They want to all have their meeting.
They want to see the confirmation hearing.
They want to see whatever the committee does.
You know, and a lot of times they don't like to announce that they're going to vote a certain way beforehand.
Okay, fine.
But the fact is, is that with Senator Mike Rounds just came out and said that he believes that Pete has a really good chance at Senate confirmation.
He's the last Remaining member before Joni Ernst on the Senate Armed Services Committee to signal that things are moving forward.
Pete Hegseth had a phenomenal day on Capitol Hill yesterday meeting with Senator John Thune, the incoming majority leader, meeting with Senator Roger Wicker of Mississippi.
He is the incoming chairman of the Senate Armed Services Committee.
Wicker has made clear there will be a confirmation hearing in early January.
That will happen, obviously, After the new Senate is sworn in on January 3rd, probably after the—they don't have a date, but I would imagine that's after the president-elect is confirmed as the president-elect on January 6th.
That date's been burned into our minds over the last four years, obviously.
But the point is that it'll happen between then and the inauguration on January 20th and then Usually, the Secretary of Defense is one of, if not the first votes that the full U.S. Senate holds to confirm.
So I would imagine that within hours after Donald Trump takes the oath of office, the U.S. Senate would vote to confirm Pete Hanks as the Secretary of Defense.
There's not a single Republican senator who has expressed with any opposition to him that they would vote against him.
And there's no reason to believe that they will based off all of these anonymous sources and smears.
There's some that have encouraged this whole, you know, smear campaign against him.
But I think when push comes to shove and the vote comes before the committee and then the full Senate, things are looking good for Pete Hegseth.
Every source I'm talking to in the Senate, both from offices that are supportive publicly and offices that haven't yet signaled one way or the other, Is that they expect all 53 Republicans to vote for Pete Hexas.
So we'll see how it goes.
He's not out of the woods yet, and he's got to keep fighting here and keep meeting with senators and keep going through the process.
But President Trump is clearly standing with him, telling him to keep fighting.
Fight, fight, fight.
And as long as he does, I think he's going to be just fine.
So Joni Ernst is still a problem.
Let's put her office number up on the screen so everyone who wants Pete Hegseth, the president's choice, to actually be confirmed can call up her office and let her know what we feel.
202-224-3254.
That's Joni Ernst.
Office on Capitol Hill, 202-224-3254.
Write it down.
Call them up multiple times to express your opinion and to remind her what happened one month ago today.
So when you hear, you know, Danan Dick say, oh, between five and ten senators I spoke to are not going to vote for Pete Hexeth, he's lying about that as much as he was about serving in Vietnam, Matt.
I think so.
Look, what happens behind closed doors, senators often gripe and moan and complain and whine and, you know, they want this or they want that.
And then, you know, when it actually comes down to the vote and the American public is watching and they get to see it on C-SPAN or On TV, when the vote happens, it's a lot tougher to vote no than it is to vote to stay behind closed doors.
Hold the line.
We're up against a hard break.
We'll continue with Matt Boyle in a second.
I'm Sebastian Gorka, a graduate of the PhD weight loss program from Dr. Ashley Lucas.
This system works.
No chemical injections, no needles, just five protein-rich meals a day that burn the fat right off.
I lost 42 pounds.
I'm down to a size 36 waist.
I haven't been that since I was in my 20s.
If you'd given up on being your former svelte self, don't.
If I can do it with my sweet tooth and my love of fried food, so can you.
Call her amazing team right now, 864-644-1900.
Or just go to the website, see the incredible before and after pictures.
Mine will shock you in a good way.
MyPhDWeightLoss.com.
That's 864-644-1900.
HDweightloss.com. - Focus on Pete.
I think Pete's the key.
Pete gets through, they all get through.
Pete goes down, then everybody starts having problems.
I'm very focused on Pete.
Got it.
I broke a story yesterday that Tillis is back in cash.
And we've seen Cornyn out there now saying he's supportive of cash.
As well.
So the process is they go to the committee, right, like that of jurisdiction.
And so the senators on the committee of jurisdiction kind of get the deference on stuff at the beginning.
And then once they get reported out of committee, then the full Senate backs them.
And that's generally speaking, across the board, the kind of the position among Republican senators.
So I see a lot of people on the right upset about some of the things that Cornyn said about Pete in particular.
Don't worry, Cornyn's gonna be okay.
Like, I'm not worried about Cornyn.
I'm worried about McConnell, Collins, Murkowski, and Ernst.
So, and it may be- McConnell, but I think- McConnell would be that much of a shit?
I don't think he'll do it because if he's got the votes, I think he'll be there.
Right.
What does he need, 50?
50, yeah.
Is that 50 plus Vance as the tiebreaker or just 50s?
He's not the vice president yet.
No, but he will be when they have the vote.
So this might get hinky in that we might need a senator appointed from Ohio to show up and fly in.
So I don't know who it'll be.
And they might have to wait to confirm Rubio until they do this because Rubio won't resign the Senate until the moment.
Right, right, right, right, right.
So it all kind of depends.
But we're probably going to need Rubio and whoever from Ohio if we need the Vance tiebreaker.
I'm going to do the healthcare read and then I'm going to tee up cut nine, John.
I'm going to do the healthcare read and then I'm going
to do the healthcare read and then I'm going to do the healthcare
read and then I'm going to do the healthcare read and then I'm going to do the healthcare read and then I'm going to do the healthcare read and then I just love that clip from Marilyn.
I don't know why.
I just do.
If you think everything is behind us because of what we achieved a month ago, don't.
We have the left still plotting.
The latest is a scheme to fast track a big pharma government plan to eliminate free market forces from...
Your future healthcare.
It is a $32 billion windfall for big pharma companies.
It's called delinking, and you can stop the big pharma grab, but only if you go today to pharmawindfall.com and let your voice be heard.
We can't let Big Pharma get away with this before January the 20th.
The website where you can find out the threat to your future healthcare is pharma, ph, pharmawindfall.com.
Go today and let your voice be heard.
Portions of America First are brought to you in part by conservatives for lower healthcare costs.
Okay, it continues with the lunacy trying to stop combat veteran Pete Hegseth becoming President Trump's Secretary of Defense.
But some people are getting in trouble, like Mika Brzezinski, cut nine.
There was a comment made about Fox News in our coverage about Pete Hegseth and the growing number of allegations about his behavior over the years and possible addiction to alcohol or issues with alcohol.
The comment was a little too flippant for this moment that we're in.
We just want to make that comment as well.
We want to make that clear.
We have differences in coverage with Fox News, and that's a good debate that we should have often.
But right now, I just want to say there's a lot of good people that work at Fox News who care about Pete Hegseth, and we'll want to leave it at that.
Still ahead on Morning Joe, an important timely reminder of how Donald Trump ripped thousands of children from their parents at the southern border.
Matt Boyle, with the multiple apologies that The View had to issue to Matt Gaetz and Pete Heckseth, now Mika is apologizing to Fox News.
Let's go beyond the confirmation hearings.
It looks like the left and the mainstream media that you love so dearly, Matt, it looks like they're losing their mojo.
Yeah, I just genuinely think that this whole thing with this Hegseth situation in particular demonstrates just how discredited the establishment media is.
Look, on Election Day, the establishment media was defenestrated by the American public, right?
They spent years calling Donald Trump Hitler and an authoritarian and so on and so forth, and then he proceeded to win the national popular vote in all seven swing states.
And the presidential election in a landslide and carry the Republicans into majorities in the U.S. Senate and U.S. House.
They are Trump majorities, by the way, not Republican majorities, to be very clear about this, right?
So that being said, the fact is, is that, you know, the establishment media has lost all their credibility, and they continue—what they're trying to do right now by trying to take out Trump nominees, whether it's Hegseth or Kash Patel, or, you know, you saw it previously with Gates, you see it.
With any number of these different folks, what they're trying to do is they're trying to get scalps to try to claw back any of the relevance or power that they lost over the course of this election cycle.
And they're trying to play the inside game against the American public.
The question really becomes, will Republican senators bow to these establishment media forces Despite their, you know, they've never been weaker.
They've never been less strong.
And they're losing more and more relevance.
They're losing audience daily.
I mean, the numbers, you know, the ratings at CNN and MSNBC are just through the floor, right?
Like, they're terrible.
And they're getting worse.
So why give in to any of these people?
You shouldn't listen to them.
You shouldn't trust them.
What you should be doing is focusing on having meetings with the various candidates.
That's a healthy process, right?
We're seeing that play out.
And then, you know, you go through the hearing and then you have the vote and then you move on.
And then guess what?
Donald Trump has his cabinet.
The American people are happy.
Their voices are represented, you know, in the government.
And then we move on and we actually get the agenda done, right?
It's really that simple.
And by the way, I will say, There's some positive signs out of the Senate.
They announced their schedule for next year.
They're going to be in for something like 50 more days than they were this year, or 50 more days in the first year of Biden when they had to confirm a cabinet then, and something like 100 more days than they are this year.
So this is a good thing.
The Senate should be working.
They should be trying to get stuff done.
And there are a lot of good signs happening up there, too.
And when it comes to Kash Patel's nomination, there's a lot of good signs.
Senators Tillis and Cornyn have both signal that they're on board with that.
We're seeing several other senators, you know, signal that he's very likely to be confirmed as the FBI director.
And a lot of the rest of the cabinet seems to be smoothly sailing in through the confirmation process.
But the reason why Hegseth is important is because Hegseth is the front line.
He's the tip of the spear here.
If they get Hegseth, if the deep state gets him, then it's open season on Trump's nominees.
But if Hegseth gets confirmed, conversely, as I'm beginning to expect will happen, then I think all of Trump's nominees, Tulsi Gabbard, you know, RFK, et cetera, all of them get through.
And then Trump has this...
This test is what you're saying, Matt.
Yes.
It's the front line, right?
By the way, just like Pete led his soldiers into battle...
He's leading Trump's nominees through to confirmation in the US. That's good.
Did you use that in an article?
I like that, Matt.
I didn't use it in an article.
That's fresh right here.
Yeah, as a combat infantryman who led troops in Afghanistan, in Iraq, he's kind of showing the way politically, correct?
Yes, 100%.
He is the front of the pack here.
The first one under fire.
And I think if he carries the team through, you know, then everybody gets through, like I said.
So that's why this is so important.
And look, I get it.
The Senators got their various processes that they got to go through.
That's fine.
That's all well and good.
But eventually they got to get to the point where they can say yes.
And they got to make it clear what it is that they're asking for.
Again, Senator Ernst is the big one here, Joni Ernst from Iowa.
She hasn't made it clear yet what she exactly is looking for.
So what we need to do is we need to really, you know, hyper focus, hyper zone in on that.
And look, I mean, I don't want to get to the point where we have to do primary challenges and, you know, there's the sword and whatnot and retribution against people.
That's not where we want to go.
What we want to do is we want to make America great again, right?
We want to get these people confirmed.
But the point you made is the point that this isn't a Republican trifecta.
This is a MAGA-Trump trifecta, and that's what has to be remembered in the upper house of Congress.

Do you have someone you want to ask for to, A, tomorrow?
Yes, I do.
Let me text him now.
Ask for 420, though.
Because?
Carifano, he's got an event at 4. He said it's going to be tough, so I said, why don't we just move you to 430?
Did that work for him?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
So, for 4 or 420?
420. Knee
Deep in the Swamp.
First place in your hearts.
America First with Dr. G. Oh my gosh!
I think we have to go to some calls.
The call board is absolutely full.
Let's start line one, and I'm going to go quickfire round.
Line one, Sandra, New Jersey.
Good afternoon, Sebastian Gorka.
How are you?
I hope so.
No, none of that.
Ask a question.
I don't have time for hello, nice greetings.
Go, go, go.
I'm really troubled because someone I listen to on another station regularly, I have great respect for this man.
He's a Marine.
He's knowledgeable.
He is doing such a number on Pete that I'm brokenhearted.
And I said, I have to call Sebastian and see what he has to say.
So I learned today how you feel.
Thank God.
You're not being very brief and quick.
Who are we talking about so I can respond?
I don't know if I want to say his name.
Well, you already said it to Jeff, so just say it to me.
No, the whole world is going to hear it.
You can figure it out, Sebastian.
Well, you can't call up here and say, I don't want to tell you the name.
It's Greg Kelly.
And as I responded to one of our callers who texted me this morning, hey, Greg Kelly is a combat veteran, a Marine.
He has the right to say what he wishes to say about Pete Hegseth.
It's called the First Amendment.
I don't happen to agree with him.
He's a colleague of mine at Newsmax.
God bless him.
He has the right to say what he says.
I don't have to agree with him.
But thank you for the call, Sandra.
Don't be so shy next time.
Let's go to Ben, Maryland.
Yes, Gorka, I have a suggestion.
Clinton moved the State of the Union address from the Oval Office to the floor of the Congress.
Trump should move it back to the Oval Office, sit behind the resolute desk, and talk directly to the American people.
He should have a State of the Union every 60 days.
Okay, we're out of time.
Why should he do it from the Oval Office and not Congress?
Because you go to Congress, it's a dog-and-pony show, and you're going to have...
Nancy Pelosi, stand up behind you, rip it up your speech, do it from the Oval Office.
Well, you won't, because she's not the Speaker of the House.
It's Mike Johnson.
I'm not sure.
Let me think about that.
I'm not sure, Ben.
Let me think about that.
Sally, line three.
Hello, Dr. Gorka.
Hey.
We are so gratified to hear that we listened to your interview with Bob France, our local announcer, and We had been waiting to hear if you would be resuming your role previously to watch guard us for terrorists, because Biden's administration let all those terrorists in, and we feel safer now with you there.
And we want to wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy Mega New Year.
Well, God bless you.
That's very kind.
I can't tell you how many people have said, we feel safer now that the president has asked you to be senior director of counterterrorism, and that's very, very flattering.
Well, thank you.
So I'm going to say is thank you.
And thank you to President Trump and to Bob France, who did one of the first, first interviews with me after the announcement.
We'll continue the calls with Randy and Lido.
Don't go anywhere.
I'm Sebastian Gorka.

Erica first, Megan.
Magnificent.
Keep playing it nice and loud, Alex.
How superb is it, Preston?
President Trump's going to be in Paris this weekend for the reopening of the 900-year-old Notre Dame Cathedral that accidentally caught fire five years ago.
So excited.
Alex, I'm...
Sorry that I didn't respond properly to your suggestion for more Christmas music.
I love Christmas music.
What do you think's going on?
Have I just been distracted too much by politics that I didn't react wholeheartedly to your suggestion a few days ago?
What is your diagnosis, Mr. Bordop?
I think when you start the Christmas music, you can't stop.
So maybe you just weren't quite ready for it yet.
See, he is our in-house diplomat.
What a beautiful response.
I was not fully psychologically prepared because he is right.
Once you start, you just can't stop because I love it.
I love it.
I love it.
All right.
I've got cuts to play.
I've got calls to go to.
Lots of calls.
And a very special guest, a new guest in studio who just testified on Capitol Hill.
We're very, very excited about that.
But let's go to calls.
Let's go to Randy in Florida with an interesting question.
Yeah, I was wondering if Elon Musk planning on getting all the information on Area 51, then he could start building spaceships instead of the mold-fashioned rockets.
So that's what you do?
You believe in aliens, Randy?
You think it's aliens in Area 51?
Yeah, let's go find the information.
Well, that's not really his job, right?
It's government efficiency.
It's not unearthing secrets.
But did you watch President Trump's...
Oh, by the way, Joni Ernst's office.
202-224-3254.
Call Senator Ernst now.
Tell her that...
Pete Hexeth must be confirmed.
202-224-3254.
We're just going to rotate through these numbers so you can call up the rhinos on Capitol Hill and tell them who President Trump wants as his sec def.
Randy, did you watch the Joe Rogan interview with President Trump?
Yes.
And what did he say there?
Everything.
Well, no, what did he say about the classified UFO documents?
I'm not positive.
I can't.
I don't want to say it.
Well, go back and watch it.
Go back and watch it.
He said, things will be unclassified.
Thank you, Randy.
Big things like that, you've got to check them out.
It's important.
Let's go to Lido, San Diego, line five.
Yes, Dr. Gorka.
It's a pleasure to speak to you again, sir.
I am very shocked at what I'm seeing out of these so-called conservative Republicans or Republicans.
It's anger-making, isn't it?
I am frustrated.
I am going to find out how quickly Speaker Johnson's spine or how quickly he gets his team together, if we have a team, because I see collaborators Just waiting to destroy Trump's agenda.
Just waiting to collaborate with these Democrats.
And it's like they're lined up.
Who's going to do it?
Who's going to be the one that's going to stand out and say, no, I'm going to stand up to Trump.
He needs to get these people in line and to get them quick because we will.
The people will.
OK, I'm already standing.
I'm ready to stand out this weekend at any television station with a sign that says, you are all Mika and Joe.
And see what reporter will come out and talk to me.
Who has the guts to come out and ask me why?
Well, we love your energy.
Let me just read out Lindsey Graham's office number.
John is cycling through these.
Call up Lindsey Graham's office, 202-224-5972.
Tell them President Trump has chosen Pete Hexeth, the Secretary of Defense, and Kash Patel.
For Director FBI, that's 202-224-5972.
Sound off to the senators who are pretending to be Republicans and who are going wobbly.
On that last...
Oh, stay on the line.
Will you just hold there?
Jeff, I need to ask a question, but after he's answered the question, he'll get your T-shirt size.
And you, dear friend, with your energy, you're going to be rewarded with one of our T-shirts of President Trump with the rubbish truck pulling up to the White House to take out the trash.
He's back.
Anyone can get theirs at Seb Gorka's store, but our dear listener is going to get his for free because he called in with a lot of energy.
SebGorkaStore.com.
Jeff, Toledo's point.
Where do you put, what category do you put Speaker Mike Johnson in right now?
Because the last couple of weeks, he's been kind of making the right noises, no?
I think he's afraid of Trump.
No, and like the Trump base.
No, I do.
I think he gets it.
I don't care why he's doing it, but I think he's doing the right things, right?
Yeah, exactly.
He knows he has to.
What's your prediction about these five senators?
They'll get by on this one, but there are going to be problems.
But are they going to say yes to Pete or not?
Eventually, yes.
They're just going to make him sweat?
Yes.
These people just don't get it.
Alright, stay on the line, Lido.
Let's go to David in Atlanta wants to talk doge.
Hello, it's an honor to talk to you, Dr. Gorka.
Very kind.
What's your question?
What's your comment?
First time caller.
I do have a comment about the Doge.
Oh, hang on.
First, first.
Since you want to talk about the Doge, let me play for you Joe Scarborough, the mental midget, with his take on the Doge.
And then you can make your comment, my friend.
Cut seven.
Joe Scarborough.
But this is a scam.
Unless they're going to slash Social Security and Medicare and Veterans Affairs, they're never going to get to $2 trillion, so they need to just stop pretending.
You know, Joe, I feel like Vanna White.
I'm just turning letters up here, and you're actually Pat Sajak.
It makes me so mad.
It's so disingenuous.
I'm happy to be your letter guy.
But look, you said it exactly right, Joe.
This is a completely disingenuous, unrealistic, ridiculous idea.
It's all a con, my friend.
He's spoken, Joe Scarborough has told us.
Yeah, they're like clowns at the circus.
What did you want to say about Elon and Vivek who are on Capitol Hill right now?
Oh, it's tremendous.
It's brilliant what President Trump did.
But what I want to do is say every government employee who touches the keyboards on a government computer, everything is recorded.
So whoever the cabinet picks, all these cabinet picks, when they're in charge of those areas, They need to go in there and pull up history that's definitely in the government files on emails and everything.
Whatever that computer did, they can find out.
Who subverted Trump on that last presidency?
Yeah, unless they've been working the shredders and the bleach bit over time since November the 5th.
I've got to read this to you.
You'll appreciate this.
This is a headline from the Post Millennial.
The Biden administration has secured remote work for certain federal union workers until 2029. We need those, don't we?
They want to keep doing remote work, my friend, till 2029, as if we didn't have an election.
I think it would be a tremendous...
It's going to be easy pickings.
For Elon and the other person.
Vivek.
But the Doge, it's going to be easy pickings to pull out.
There is so much waste to be slashed.
I think you're absolutely right.
Just far, far too easy.
And that's why we need people like Elon and Vivek who've really made it in the private sector.
Oh my gosh.
So much.
So much.
All right, Lisa Murkowski, we haven't read this one yet.
Senator Murkowski, the super squish.
This is her Senate office number, 202-224-6665.
Lisa Murkowski, call her up.
Leave a message if you have to.
Remind her that President Trump got 77 million votes and that his choice for SecDef is Pete Hexeth.
His choice for the FBI is Kash Patel.
Lisa Murkowski, 202-224-6665.
Give me one more, John, while we're at this, making sure that the Senate is a body of the people, for the people, by the people.
Oh!
Lindsay Graham.
Let's show Lindsay Graham what we think of what happened.
I can't believe it.
A month ago today.
202-224-5972.
That's Senator I'm going to send you a subpoena, honest, sometime, maybe, or maybe not.
Senator Lindsey Graham, 202-224-5972.
Let your voice be heard.
You're listening to America First with me, Sebastian Walker.
If you enjoy the deep dive one-on-one interviews that we...
I mean, we just relish them.
I love the long-form interview, the third hour of the show.
Never, ever miss an episode.
Today we'll be talking about what's happening in the Middle East and what President Trump's going to have to do to fix it and to combat the jihadi threat.

And then, I don't think I've mentioned this in a long while, it's time to celebrate.
It's been a month later!
What better way to celebrate than with one of the Dr. G Liberty range of cigars.
The George Washingtons ran out so very, very quickly.
Now it's the Teddy Roosevelt.
We looked for years for a cigar worthy of the appellation.
Go to sebgorkerstore.com for your cigars.
Cigars.
That's S-E-B-G-O-R-K-A store.com.
Thank you.
Google must be listening to our show.
Thank you.
The antidote to fake news.
America first.
I fear Alex has created a monster.
I can't get enough of Christmas music.
It's going to be like this now for the next three weeks.
I think every segment, unless something very special occurs.
I think we have to get President Trump back on for his eighth visit to the show.
That would be fun.
And I think he'd appreciate a bit of Christmas bumper music.
Maybe we can find out what his favorite tune is from Melania.
But in the spirit of this season, I'd like to play for you a little...
Cut from one of the amazing people from the Prison Fellowship Angel Tree program.
Just listen to Alice Hall and how you are changing lives every single day.
It connects families, and it also gives us an opportunity to love people the way Jesus loves us.
Jesus can love them through us with those gifts.
You know, it talks in the Bible about us remembering those in prison.
And because I've been in prison, I know exactly what he means by that.
And it's a beautiful opportunity to help people in that.
What did our Lord and Savior actually say?
Do you remember what the priorities were?
Come unto me, the little children.
Orphans, widows, and those in prison.
That's actually in the good book.
What about helping multiple of those groups this Christmas?
Especially if you're squared away and you've done your Christmas shopping, you have an opportunity now to make the Christmas of a girl or boy who has lost a parent to the prison system a little bit warmer.
These are very vulnerable children, hundreds of thousands of them across the country, more than 70% of whom will end up incarcerated themselves.
We want to break that cycle of vulnerability.
It's $30 per child for them to receive a Christmas gift from their imprisoned mother or father, a note from their parent, and a children's Bible.
It's one of the most beautiful things you can do this Christmas.
Will you be generous?
$300 is 10 children.
But if it's only $5, that's okay.
We'll gather it all together.
Just make a difference.
You could possibly save a life.
Go to my website, SebGorker.com, and click on the Change a Child's Christmas banner at the top, or call them up and make your tax-deductible donation.
The number is 833-334-6752.
That's 833-334-6752.
Or just go to S-E-B-G-O-R-K-A, SebGorker.com, and the Angel Tree banner at the top.
Some people, I guess, are just born knowing how to promote themselves and how to do social media.
I just open up my Twitter thread or my, what do they call them?
I'm so ancient.
My timeline, my TL on Twitter.
And what do I find at the top?
Just arrived at the studio!
It's a guest who's never been on the show!
And she's taking selfies in my elevator and posting them on my timeline.
She's slick.
Her name's Jamie Reid, whistleblower.
I don't know if that's the full name or it's Jamie Reid, whistleblower.
Grammar may be a challenge for her.
But she is brave.
She's outspoken.
We saw her give a speech in the swamp yesterday.
And we managed to get her in studio with a very elegant bodyguard who you may have heard of before.
Welcome in studio, Jamie Reid and Jamie.
Thank you so much for having us.
Merry Christmas.
You're pretty slick.
Where did you get that social media thing from?
Probably my teens.
Yeah, my teens.
She's good, isn't she, Chris?
She's amazing.
Where's your selfie in the elevator?
I've never seen you do the selfie in the elevator coming to my studio.
Yeah, I'm not that narcissistic, I guess.
You know, I'll tell you that honestly, you, amongst very few people in this cesspit of Washington, D.C., you are one of the few that reinstills your faith in humankind.
Because I don't think you have an ego.
I think you, like, dropped it somewhere a few years ago, and you just don't have one, Chris.
I think there is one, and I'm just teasing, of course.
I have so much respect for Jamie Reid.
She is one of the bravest women in this country who single-handedly has been extremely instrumental in stopping this craze affecting our kids, this whole child transition craze, because she blew the whistle on what was going on in Missouri.
All right, so let's talk about this moniker you have on your Twitter feed of Whistleblower and why you're affecting legislation in this country and politics and culture.
Who are you?
Tell us in the next four minutes.
We'll keep you over.
What is your story and why are you here in Washington, Jamie?
Thank you.
So I worked in a pediatric transgender center from about 2018 to 2023 in St. Louis, Missouri.
While I was there, I witnessed increasing ethical and then actual physical harms to kids by these so-called treatments.
And I became a formal whistleblower.
I filed a formal affidavit with my state, my home state of Missouri, our Attorney General's office.
I detailed all of the harm.
Saying what?
Give us an example of why you felt you had to be a whistleblower.
What did you witness, Jamie?
Profound, profound harm.
So patients who had surgery and had body parts removed.
Children.
Well, children and young adults.
So, I had a 19-year-old...
Healthy body parts.
Healthy body parts.
19-year-old who had her breasts removed.
Within three months, she called us back begging to have her breasts put back on.
Three months.
She was back to identifying as female.
She was also now pregnant.
I had patients whose mental health was just getting worse and worse and worse by these treatments.
I had kids who we put on testosterone, and testosterone does real damage to young girls and women who ended up needing surgery on their vaginal canal, being torn open from the use of testosterone.
I've got to ask you the thing that I never get beyond, okay?
What is the excuse of people who have the letter MD after their name when they're doing this?
Forget children.
I mean, for me, that's just you go straight to hell and you burn forever.
But, you know, to adults, that you're doing something that A, will sterilize people or make sexual pleasure impossible for them.
Or, as you said, three months later, they say, I was wrong.
How does a doctor...
Say, I'm doing this to a healthy human being.
What did they say to you as the nurse?
Did they even try to justify it?
Say, oh, well, they're going to try and commit suicide or some garbage like that?
So, sometimes I like to use the phrase that the pathway to hell is paved with good intentions.
That this started with these concepts around good intentions with a really bad medical experiment that's gone incredibly wrong.
But even there, I understand that for amateurs.
This is a profession.
Medicine relies upon science.
There is no science.
There isn't even an extensive data set to prove that any human being has a chance of being healthier mentally after these procedures.
So how does a doctor say, well, I'm just going to wing it because I don't have any data?
Because that's where it gets to the point of I don't buy it, that it's intentions and I want to help.
They don't have the proof, Jamie.
They don't, but they have the ideology behind them.
Bingo.
Bingo.
And that's what they...
They've convinced themselves that they are the good people.
Correct.
And that anything else, that anyone else says, regardless of who you are or where you come from, that you are fundamentally wrong.
Don't go anywhere.
So proud to have this woman and this man in studio, Jamie Whistle on Twitter.
We'll explain the website, Monica, lgbtcourage.org, because we don't start with that.
We don't do identity politics here.
But follow her at Jamie Whistle.
And give us a follow as well if you want to keep abreast of the breaking news.
You look for Seb Gorka or Sebastian Gorka on all the usual places, whether it's True Social, Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, Parlageddon.
We are moving at the speed of Trump times 10. Don't forget, you can watch the show.
We're a televisual treat.
Just download the Salem News Channel app or look for the Salem Channel on your Roku, your Fire Stick, your Samsung Plus device, on Pluto.
You can watch all of our shows.
Me, Charlie, Dennis.
Just go to the...
That's SebastianGorka.substack.com.
That's sebastangorka.substack.com.
Thank you.
Thank you.
I just want to shadow you for a while.
Shadow me?
Yeah, I just want to follow you around in D.C. for a week or two, see what your life is like once that all starts.
Yeah, it's going to be interesting.
It's going to be interesting.
I'll be spending most of my days, I think, unless President Trump has other plans for me in a skiff, in a secure compartmented information facility.
Got it.
Because we'll be dealing with bad guys, if you know what I mean.
I understand, yeah.
So you came back for this, or what brings you to DC? I was here for the Supreme Court thing.
Okay.
So what's the latest?
What are you hearing?
Meeting with ADF as well.
Latest on?
On the Supreme Court.
Because the audio sounds good.
So the judgment, I think, will come out in June.
I think we're going to win.
But I went to a meeting afterwards with Skirmeti and the solicitor at the big luncheon and they're extremely confident.
Alright, we're going to play some of that audio.
Then I'm going to ask you what the consequences have been for you since you came out.
I just ran into her today.
I was walking in my car.
Oh, funny.
Serendipity.
How long are you here?
I fly home tomorrow.
Don't ever come back to the city without telling me.
Okay.
I promise.
Because otherwise, the drones are going to deploy.
There's no war with Canada.
I can fly over there and I'll find you, Chris.
I'm fine if you guys have a war with Canada.
Take us over.
It's good.
You want us?
51st stage?
Yes, do it.
I'm here January 6th and 7th at Heritage Gender Conference.
She'll be here.
I'll be back as well, yeah.
What's the writing on your arm?
It's a poem that I wrote when I was too young to have a poem tattooed on my arm.
Okay.
Yeah.
They have lasers, you know.
Oh, the whole arm?
Sure.
I mean, I have them all over my...
I mean, they're all over me.
This is not the worst of them.
The worst?
As in, how bad does it get?
Uh, the giant anarchy sign on my leg.
Oh, that's bad.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And here she is talking to you.
I know.
Life changes.
What is happening to the world, right?
Life changes.
Do I play cut eight, Jeff?
Oh, no, he's not here.
Has he popped smoke?
Is he sick again?
No, his stuff is still here.
Good, really good.
Yeah, just nuts, because she's the chair now of the GOP for the county.
But yeah, doing good.
Doing good.
Doing good.
I'll do...
Come in with Fetterman.
Come in with eight.
Then I'll do my pillow.
And then I'll probably play at least one of the audios from the Supreme Court.
Talking about a suicide comment would be great.
Okay, good.
Sorry, John?
It's just audio files, or is this...
They're just audio...
Well, there's a buffer, but the Supreme Court doesn't have video.
They just have audio.
Because the number one thing...
It's a video file, but there's no actual video.
To Justice Alito, that suicides are extremely rare.
So, that was a huge moment.
Just tell me that person...
Oh, wow.
How stupid are you?
How stupid are you?
How stupid are you?
finally admit that he wears lifts in the boots throughout his whole campaign.
Was it three inches?
Was it four inches?
What did Fetterman just say?
That if Hexeth withdraws and President Trump nominates Ron DeSantis, he'll vote for him?
But Alex, did he say that only if he admits that he's got lifts in his boots?
He did.
That's not like some kind of AI supercut that you engineered in the background with John, right?
No, that was the real deal.
That phenomenon is different.

But you've got to use the secret code.
G-O-R-K-A. So we're back with two warriors who are telling the truth every single day with the...
In the face of this transgender, truly it's a cult, Jamie Reid, nurse, whistleblower, and Billboard Chris, our good friend, Chris Elston.
Let's just talk about why you're here or the big news happening, the hearings at the Supreme Court.
Here we have, Chris, respond to this.
This is Justice Sotomayor comparing transitioning to, well, I'm not going to steal her thunder, cut 13. We cannot eliminate the risk of detransitioners, so it becomes a pure exercise of weighing benefits versus risk.
And the question of how many minors have to have their bodies irreparably harmed for unproven benefits is one that is best left.
I'm sorry, Counselor.
Every medical treatment has a risk, even taking aspirin.
There is always going to be a percentage of the population under any medical treatment that's going to suffer harm.
So you're not a medical practitioner, but you are steeped in this stuff, Chris.
Removing limbs, cutting off sexual organs, hormone therapy, using Lupron, which is used to chemically castrate sexual predators in prison.
It's the same as an aspirin.
Did you not know that, Chris?
I wasn't aware before I heard her condescending attitude interrupting the lawyer to say, I'm sorry, counselor.
And then she went on to compare turning children into an orgasmic, sterilized, lifelong pharmaceutical patients, forever dependent on some exogenous source of hormones, to the risk of taking aspirin.
I don't need to be a medical doctor to understand the insanity of this.
And it's so embarrassing that these people are Supreme Court justices.
Right.
And the other one, Brown, who will play later, the one who said in her confirmation hearing she doesn't know what a woman is despite being one herself.
Let's just drill down on this for a second.
If you do the full transition, let's be very blunt here.
You will be sterilized.
And beyond that, you will be a patient.
Well, you're nodding.
You're the medical practitioner as was.
You are a medical case till the day you die.
Masters of Science in Clinical Research.
I actually understand how we test these things.
So if you go through surgical transition, it's not you have an operation and you're done.
No.
That's never the case.
That's not the case.
But also, most of the more severe surgeries, what we sometimes refer to as bottom surgeries, have such high complication rates that you will be in for surgical procedure after surgical procedure.
Well, I don't want to get, because this is drive-time radio, but the fact is you have a wound for the rest of your life.
Correct.
Which has to be treated for the rest of your life.
Correct.
Okay.
So the idea that this makes you healthy is against the science.
Yes.
Okay.
30 seconds and we'll continue.
Please stay here.
Don't go anywhere.
I mentioned this thing that they blackmail.
They say, well, your child must do this.
Or the psychiatrist says they will have suicidal ideation if they don't do the transition.
What do the reports show us, Chris?
So they don't just say that.
They say your child will kill themselves if we don't transition them.
I've heard this argument personally 10,000 times.
And we have various data sources to prove that's false.
But yesterday, Justice Alito has clearly done his research because he read the Cass review from England.
From the UK. And he said, look, the evidence from Hilary Cass shows that there's no epidemic of suicides.
And Chase Strangio...
The trans-identified female, the lawyer for the ACLU, admitted that suicides, completed suicides, are exceedingly rare.
Wow!
And they're just talking about ideation.
Well, of course there's suicidal ideation.
These kids want to change their sex.
They're struggling with all sorts of mental health problems.
Don't go anywhere.
These two heroes are going to stay with us.

It's a huge one.
In California.
We'll have one more segment.
Stay here for the three minutes after that so I can close the hour.
You're going to want to cover this lawsuit tomorrow.
In the next eight minutes, what's the most important thing that we want to squeeze in?
This is your time.
Oh, wow.
The way ahead had a win.
The way ahead, I think Scrimati's going to be a win, but that means we still have 25 states.
Oh, John, can you pull out that lunatic, the transgender lawyer from yesterday?
We're still going to have 25 states that we have to get this.
I don't have the country.
I'll see if I can find it.
Still going to have what?
25 states that this is still going to be legal in.
All right.
It was cut 16 from yesterday.
16. Okay, good.
I have the secret service thing if you want that for...
We'll do that in the e-block.
Yeah.
How long is it?
I think a minute nine or something.
Okay, good.
Just give me the congressman's name.
Who is it?
Because I didn't recognize you.
Pat, I think it's Fallone.
Fallone?
No, let me see.
I gave you a copy of Katie's book, right?
No.
Seriously?
Yeah.
Okay.
Sorry.
Pat Fallone.
F-A-L-L-O-N. That was in front of the police.
And the woman smiled at the police officer.
Then you want to do Casio?
We still haven't done Casio.
Oh, gosh.
We'll do it after.
He coached people through how to do it online, on the air, live.
And I ran into someone from the Vancouver police.
They got thousands and thousands of complaints.
That's how you do it.
That's how you do it.
I've been reading all hour.
The phone numbers of the four stopouts that want to stop Hexeth, the senators.
And I'm saying call them now.
Call Graham.
Call Ernst.
That's how you've got to do it.
It works.
I had a buddy who has all the data.
He engineered, because he has all the conservative contact data, 50,000 texts last night to the Senate.
Amazing.
Huh?
Oh, that would be fun.
Yeah, totally.
We're in the break.
Should we do it in the break and just keep it running?
All right, so who's the worst?
Joni, right?
Let's do Joni.
Yes!
All right, give me Joni's number.
Put up the Chiron.
We'll do it in the break.
These are not doctors being forced to provide this medication.
These are doctors who are wanting to treat their patients in the best way that they know how, based on the best available evidence to us.
And these are young people who may have known since they were two years old exactly who they are, who suffered for six, seven years before they had any relief.
That's the cross-dressing lunatic lawyer, a woman with a penciled-in moustache who says two-year-olds know that they're in the wrong body and suffer for seven years until they can be castrated because that's what makes children happy, castration.
I'm glad that's the person in front of the Supreme Court.
We'll continue the discussion and more audio, this time from...
The woman who doesn't know what a woman is.
But first, I am grateful to a real health professional, Dr. Ashley Lucas and her amazing team at my PhD weight loss.
Because thanks to her, I'm a shadow of my former self, but in a good way.
I shed 42 pounds in just a matter of months.
My muse Katie lost 36. She looks stunning.
When your wife needs a whole new wardrobe because everything is too big, you know what they say.
Happy wife, happy life.
No needles, no injections, no chemical dependency for the rest of our lives.
Just five protein-rich meals a day that burnt the fat right off.
I'm down to a size 36 waist.

We're back with medical whistleblower Jamie Reid and billboard Chris Elston.
One more cut from the Supreme Court hearing yesterday.
No video.
Sorry, they don't allow that.
It's audio.
This is Justice Ketanji Brown with an analogy that it's just lunacy.
Cut 12. As I read the statute here, excuse me, the case here, the court starts off by saying that Virginia is now one of 16 states which prohibit and punish marriages on the basis of racial classifications.
And when you look at the structure of that law, it looks in terms of you can't do something that is inconsistent with your own characteristics.
It's sort of the same thing.
So it's interesting to me that we now have this different argument and I wonder whether Virginia could have gotten away with what they did here by just making a classification argument the way that Tennessee is in this case.
Right, because interracial marriage is illegal in America.
Maybe somebody should buy her a history book on the Civil War and the Civil Rights Act.
There's a very interesting phrase she uses there about your innate characteristics.
There was a moment yesterday when the cross-dressing trans lawyer was asked about civil rights based upon intrinsic characteristics, like skin color.
And was asked, is transgender identity intrinsic?
And you could hear a pin drop.
Isn't this the biggest problem with this whole ideology?
That it's based on a fantasy.
My friend Constantine Kissin says, you can't change your sex by incantation.
I am a woman doesn't work because I have an intrinsic identity.
Is this going to collapse or are you worried that...
What did you say in the break, Jamie?
We have 25 states.
We still do.
But this lunacy is still legal.
Yes.
But I actually think that Chase Strangio...
Probably said the worst thing possible for the case, which was to answer that, no, transgender identity is not intrinsic.
It's not immutable.
Is that person's name really Strangio?
It is.
Last name is Strangio.
I feel like I'm in a Twilight.
Do you feel like you're in a Twilight Zone episode sometimes, please?
We're in the bad timeline, actually.
Right?
I've had tens of thousands of conversations on this, and I still pinch myself every day saying, is life real?
Is this actually happening?
We're talking about changing the sex of children now?
Right.
And when you're being beaten up by lunatics and the police in Canada are laughing, you must feel like you are in a twilight zone.
Well, first of all, I never get beaten up.
I let them punch me.
You get assaulted.
I let them punch me.
It's different.
Okay, good.
Let's see.
He knows how to use words.
All right.
Let's look forward.
I'd like to get you guys back because I love you guys.
You're amazing.
What is the way forward?
There are some states where we're winning.
There are other lunatic states where I think it's fascinating, Jamie.
They're limiting down to less than two years.
The statute of limitations for medical malpractice, because they're so worried the doctors are going to get sued into the ground.
Are we winning?
Is it time to relax?
How do we win this?
We cannot relax right now.
Law-wise, we are probably going to see a win in this case versus Kermetti, but that's going to leave us with 25 states.
We're going to have to fight this state by state.
I mean, the good guys are going to win this one.
We're going to win this one.
And all that gives us is states have the right to ban this horrid care.
That leaves us with all of these states where we're going to have to go in state by state and fight in these legislatures.
So it's up to the parents, the grandparents, the people who just care, Chris?
It's always been up to...
Normal moms and dads like me, it's always the grassroots movement that changes the culture.
Politicians are followers.
They're lagging indicators.
We are the leaders in this movement, the regular people who have taken it upon themselves to create awareness about this to the point where yesterday I was sitting in this luncheon after the Supreme Court hearings with Skirmeti and all of these people and I took a moment to sit back and look at this room full of people And I said to myself, three years ago, I was freezing my butt off on the streets of Vancouver, Canada, and not one of these people was saying a word.
And now look how far we've come in just a short period of time.
So we're going to keep going.
And these blue states are also going to wake up because the moderate Democrats have lost control of their party.
They don't agree with this either.
And we're going to put the radicals where they belong, which is into irrelevancy.
Yeah, and the doctors into prison who have abused children.
We've got a minute left, and you are an untattooed, heterosexual, traditional woman, correct?
No, I am a heavily tattooed lesbian.
Okay, so I want to make sure people understand who are listening and not watching.
The Jamie Reid's website is lgbtcourage.org.
So how come you as a woman who is same-sex attracted, why are you fighting this fight?
Isn't this just about people?
Oh, absolutely not.
So this is actually what we see as conversion 2.0.
This is actually going after kids who are different.
Many of them would grow up to be gays and lesbians.
So this is the gays against groomers.
This is trying to trans away the gay.
Exactly.
This is trying to transition away the gay.
But also, these are vulnerable kids too.
Not all these kids would grow up to be gay.
These are kids who have autism, who have mental health concerns.
Disproportionately high number of autistic children.
Yes, yes.
These are vulnerable kids.
All right.
Will you come back for another chat?
Absolutely.
Don't you ever come to this city again without telling me, Chris Elston.
Yes, sir.
Thank you kindly.

This is perhaps one of the most important reasons—I want to put it in context—one of the most important reasons that President Trump won.
It's the economy, it's war in the Middle East, and yada, yada, yada.
Targeting innocent, vulnerable children is one of the biggest red pills for millions, if not tens of millions of Americans who are otherwise not political.
So this is our fight.
This is everyone's fight.
I'm Sebastian Gorka.
This is America First coming to you live from just outside the insalubrious, fetid, rank, malodorous, noisome, ghastly swamp that is Washington, D.C. Relief factor.
It's real.
It works.
As we speak right now, it is liberating over a million Americans from their daily pain.
I am just one of them.
I had a lower back pain issue that plagued me for nine years, for almost a decade.
I took this proven anti-inflammatory combination of resveratrol, curcumin, and omega-3s.
Two weeks later, I was pain-free, and I'm still pain-free.
As of January the 1st, it will be six years I will be pain-free.

you the special agent in charge of the detail that day?
Actually, let me address this.
Could you please, staff, leave that one up with us?
Thank you.
Thank you.
We're you the special agent in charge of the detail that day?
Actually, let me address this.
Could you please, staff, leave that one up with the circle around me.
Thank you.
So actually, Congressman, what you're not seeing is the sack of the detail off, out of the picture's view.
And that is the day where we remember the more than 3,000 people that have died on 9-11.
I actually responded to Ground Zero.
I was there going through the ashes of the World Trade Center.
I was there at Fresh Kills.
I'm not asking you that!
I'm asking you!
You were the special agent in charge!
I was there to show respect for a Secret Service member that died on 9-11!
Do not invoke 9-11 for political purposes!
Oh, I'm not!
I'm invoking this!
You are, sir!
You are out of order!
I would like to ask him a question!
You are out of order!
Don't try to bully me!
I am an elected member of Congress and I'm asking you a serious question and you are playing politics.
I am a public servant who has served this nation and spent time on our country's darkest day.
The committee will come to order.
That was today on Capitol Hill.
Hey Jeff, do you know the back story there to Congressman Pat Fallon and the acting director of the Secret Service, Ron Rowe?
You know why that happened?
No.
So that scumbag, right, who's responsible for all the real failures, it wasn't that DEI hire, she was just, you know, window dressing.
Instead of being a dignitary at 9-11 this September in New York, he inserted himself on the protective detail so he could get FaceTime with President Trump.
That makes a lot of sense.
And the picture shows that, too.
Doesn't it?
That guy...
Is using 9-11 to ingratiate himself politically with the future president, and he is the epitome of the swamp, and the sooner he is fired into irrelevance by the 47th president of the United States, the better.
I know you're thinking twice about it.
I heard you this morning, Dan, that when you see stuff like that, it makes you think three times, seven times, a hundred times about coming back in.
I'm doing it.
Peter Navarro's doing it.
Maybe you'll hear something about Alina Hubber soon.
Cash Patel!
John Radcliffe!
You know you want to serve your nation again.
Yeah, you got a great radio show.
So do I. I got a TV show too.
But it's time to step up, my friend, because that individual, Ron Rau, is a disgrace.
He has besmirched the badge he carries and the oath he has taken to uphold the Constitution.
He's just an ego with a badge and a gun.
And I know you aren't.

But it was pointless, because when we started to discuss the state of the world under Joe Biden, the individual said, when I remarked about war in Ukraine, the disastrous abandonment of Afghanistan, and then the slaughter of the innocents in Israel on October the 7th, that clinical imbecile, which is what I called him to his face afterwards, said, what do you mean?
American presidents don't have an impact on war.
Yeah, we're dealing with a cult.
Ask the people in Israel whether or not the personage behind the resolute desk in the Oval Office has an impact on their safety and security.
And that's what we're going to be talking about.
Who was it who said elections have consequences?
Let's talk to a dear friend of mine, a truth sayer par excellence.
She has the longest chyron, I think, in the history, the six-year history of this show.
So let's just rotate through it, John, so I can read the accolades of our guest.
Senior contributing editor and columnist at JNS, jns.org, former advisor at the Prime Minister's office in Israel, host of the Israel Undiplomatic podcast, and author of To Hell in a Handbasket, Carter, Obama, and the Arab Spring, Ruthie Bloom.
It's been far too long.
Welcome back to America First.
Well, thank you so much for having me.
It really has been too long.
It has indeed.
And I want to commend you on everything you've done since we last spoke.
We have a long list of topics we must discuss in the next hour.
But if I may, please indulge me first.
With our guests from Israel or who have recently traveled to Israel, I always have the same question first I wish to ask them.
What is the esprit de corps?
What is the mood like amongst the people of Israel, amongst the IDF, the relatives of those in the IDF? Could you give us an update as to how our brothers and sisters are doing?
Yes, well, the mood fluctuates because, you know, this was a massive national trauma, as you know, and it's still going on.
It's been going on now for 14 months.
Compounded by that is the abandonment of Israel by its allies.
I mean, it's one thing to be fighting a seven-front war against jihadists, and you know, you're very familiar with those jihadists.
And it's one thing, it's bad enough, right?
And it's bad enough to be suffering the consequences of these mass rapes, beheadings, burnings, and hostage taking that occurred on October 7th, 2023. And there are still 100 hostages left in Gaza.
But when your supposed friends in the West turn their back on you at best and accuse you Of war crimes at worst.
It's worse than depressing.
It's frustrating.
And the only Israelis who, let's say they're not siding with those people, but they basically blame us, blame ourselves, are the woke crowd, the leftists.
And you're familiar with that as well.
There are a lot of similarities between America and Israel.
Yeah.
No, the term fake news, which the president popularized here, as we've discussed with our friends from Israel, I think you have suffered from fake news long before it was a term in common usage here in the United States.
I have to ask you, look, there is political division or diversity in Israel because you are the only functioning democracy in the Middle East.
But I must ask, is there any kind of...
Even temporary unity or coming together when an entity as corrupt as the International Criminal Court puts out an arrest warrant against the duly elected prime minister and a member of his cabinet.
What has the impact been of that outrageous development last week, Ruthie?
Yes, well, I have to say, there's a lot more unity than the Israeli left would like you to believe.
The same thing with the United States before the presidential election.
You would have thought that, you know, the majority are just liberals and woke people, and it turns out that's not true at all.
The same applies to Israel.
There is quite a lot of unity in Israel surrounding, again, who the good guys are, who the bad guys are, It's a vocal minority that tries to obfuscate that fact.
But we know better.
And listen, you think it's an accident that we have the most right-wing government in Israeli history?
It's not.
And that happened before the October 7th massacre.
It's because Israelis are fed up with This mea culpa business.
I mean, it is a Jewish tendency, I must admit, right?
To say, well, if they hate us, we must have done something to deserve it or to encourage it.
But, you know, most Israelis are not buying that anymore.
And one thing most Israelis for sure are not buying is the nonsense of a two-state solution, a Palestinian state with those cutthroat All right.
Now, this is super important.
Let's just stop here for a second and drill down on this because he's quite a regular guest here.
My former Trump administration colleague, Ambassador David Friedman, who was the president's representative in Israel, especially when the embassy was moved.
And President Trump recognized Jerusalem as the capital of the eternal state of Israel.
His latest book, I think, is, if I remember correctly, titled The One State Solution.
And I concur with him that as long as 70 percent plus of the population of Gaza agree with the slaughter of the innocents on October the 7th, you can't have self-determination for a population that wishes to wipe out the innocent people of Israel.
So is it really is the one state solution whereby Israel secures the territory of Gaza, Samaria and Judea?
Is that the most popular scenario within Israel?
Well, Well, I'll tell you, it's growing.
The popularity is growing.
And, by the way, most Israelis adore David Friedman.
And, you know, they said they couldn't believe that we're going to have, you know— An ambassador equally to Israel from the United States, who's equally if not more staunch about Jewish rights to the land of Israel.
But I will say that that business of saying, okay, we need to take over these territories, that is popular certainly among Orthodox Jews here.
And on the right, but I have to say, Prime Minister Netanyahu says, you know, no, that's not our policy at the moment.
However, he, like all his supporters, also agree that there's no way that the Palestinian Authority, I mean, everyone agrees that Hamas, forget about it, but this talk of, okay, so who will run Gaza afterwards?
Maybe the Palestinian Authority.
Now that is ridiculous.
Palestinian Authority pays terrorists stipends Hefty ones monthly to commit terrorist acts.
So you realize that the October 7th terrorists, even though they're Hamas, and Hamas hates Fatah, which is the Palestinian Authority's main party, though they're enemies internally, they share the goal of annihilating the state of Israel.
So how can anybody even suggest that they play a part in the post-war Gaza era?
Therefore, you know, it seems clear to many Israelis that there's going to be no choice but to have Israel in charge in some fashion.
But, you know, again, we have to be careful because there's the international community and there's the Washington.
But you see, now that President Trump is entering, I think he's given a clear message that Israel will do what Israel needs to do.
And has to do what is right for its own security, as, by the way, you yourself point out repeatedly.
And that's the most important thing.
We don't know yet what's going to happen the day after.
But leaving it to some UN force, I mean, come on now.
Absolutely absurd.
An institution that is morally bankrupt, that today is more famous for the rape of children in Africa by the blue helmets than it is for stopping any significant conflict around the world.
We're talking to the senior contributing editor at JNS, host of Israel Undiplomatic.

The children that you help every single year with the Prison Fellowship Angel Tree Program, those who have lost a father or a mother to the prison system, what do they think of your donations and the love you extend to them?
Well, let's just listen to one of them.
This is Joseph.
I will write to my dad about what happened, and one Christmas gift I got from Angel Tree was a drawing pad.
That was my favorite.
I also got paint and colored pencils.
I knew he knew what I wanted, and he got the right thing.

I think it was a senator from Illinois who said elections have consequences.
Well, they did one month ago today.
President Trump isn't in office yet.
He's got six weeks to go.
But Prime Minister Trudeau is kissing the ring at Mar-a-Lago.
The caravans of illegals are turning around on their way to the southern border.
And President Trump recently sent this message to the enemies of Judeo-Christian civilization.
Let's put it up on the screen and let me read to you the words of President Trump with a very clear message to those who have taken hostages, including American citizens.
This is from his Truth Social account.
If the hostages are not released prior to January 20th, 2025, the date that I proudly assume office as President of the United States, there will be all hell to pay in the Middle East.
Ruthie Bloom, you have been covering that benighted region of the world and the threat from global jihadism for decades now.
Will you talk to us as somebody from the region how significant an American election can be for the stability of the region and the survival of the state of Israel?
Oh, incredibly significant.
I mean, let's compare Trump's first term To Biden's only term.
Just that alone, when President Trump was in office, it's not just that he really made it clear who the good guys and bad guys are in the Middle East, and he stood by America's greatest ally in the Middle East, Israel.
But what he did was, it wasn't just that he recognized Jerusalem and moved the embassy.
He recognized the Israeli sovereignty over the Golan Heights.
He said that he's taking out the word occupation.
That's no longer a word that's going to be used.
He also ripped up the Iran deal.
I'm not saying this in order, yes?
Now, this was crucial, because then he also applied maximum pressure on the Iranian regime When you starve it of money, it has no money to, not only to build its nuclear arsenal, but to fund all these terrorist groups around.
So enter Biden and he proceeds to undo all of these amazing policies and try to go back to the negotiating table with the Ayatollah-led regime.
It's insane.
Now, that message was, America is no longer the greatest superpower in the world.
America is leading from behind again, like during the Obama years.
And this emboldened, first of all, tons of money also went back to Iran.
This emboldened the worst regime, the greatest state sponsor of terrorism, which enabled it to keep pumping its, you know, I don't know if you call it pumping, whatever you call it.
Spinning, spinning.
Spinning, it's centrifuges.
And funding and training Hezbollah terrorists in Lebanon and Hamas in Gaza and in the West Bank.
And there's also Islamic Jihad, that's another terrorist group.
You know, they're all over the place.
And the message they got was, okay, Washington is no longer on Israel's side unconditionally, if at all, and this is our chance.
Now, interestingly, not only did the Biden administration embolden the enemies in the Middle East, but think what happened after October 7th.
Suddenly, an explosion of anti-Semitism All over the world that we hadn't seen since World War II. Actually, there had been a kind of taboo on that kind of open anti-Semitism.
But in America, across the, you know, it's one thing in Europe, you could say, well, they're, you know, they've been dying out.
In America, on college campuses and elite universities, praising Hamas, calling for the genocide of Jews.
On U.S. campuses.
So what I'm saying is that when you have a weak president, a weak administration, it's not just the president, it's all the people surrounding him.
You embolden all the West's enemies and you embolden actual enemies with weapons and enemies that are ideological enemies.
And they're all tied to what we say.
When they say globalize the Intifada, that's what we're seeing.
And now, all President Trump had to do, aside from making great appointments and winning by a landslide, but imagine just that one tweet that you pointed to had a huge effect, a resounding effect all over the Middle East.
First of all, every Israeli heaved a sigh of relief.
Finally, okay, somebody is saying we are reasserting American power against these evildoers.
And then it must frighten the mullahs in Iran, the terrorists in Lebanon and in Syria.
Now, look what happened in Syria.
Their civil war has risen up again.
And why is that?
Because Israel had to make a deal with Hezbollah in Lebanon.
Again, all of these factors are specifically tied To a weakened America that is now retaking its power.
Yeah.
Thankfully, there will be leadership back in the White House as of the afternoon of January the 20th.
And then our friends will be comforted and our enemies will be worried.

Come in with Joe Biden.
Look, and I'm not suggesting that Hamas deliberately did it either.
It's that old thing, I don't know how to shoot straight.
I still, every time I see it, I can't believe it.
The current incumbent in the White House after the attack on that hospital in Gaza that was first blamed fallaciously on the IDF saying, well, if it was Hamas, if it was the jihadis, they've got to learn how to shoot straight.
Meaning they have to kill more Jews?
Is that what you're saying, Joe Biden?
Truly, truly stunning.

MyPillow.com, but you've got to use the secret code, G-O-R-K-A. Ruthie, with regards to this pendulum of, you know, Israel hating Democrat administrations and then, you know, philo-Semitic presidents like my former boss and, God willing, my future boss, President Trump, I've got to share this story with you.
I think you probably know who I'm talking about.
I took 400 of our listeners to Israel Christmas before last.
Had an amazing time.
And we're being guided around the city of King David, the archaeological site under Jerusalem.
And our guide, a wonderful chap, says to us, he says, you have no idea what it's like from Israel as a Jew looking towards Washington.
Because for the last eight years...
It feels like we're dealing with a schizophrenic individual because of the changes between administrations.
I have to ask you, how do Israelis look at us?
Do they think that there's, you know, four years of insanity under the Democrats and then you get your old friend back?
Is it hard to even relate from Jerusalem to Washington?
Well, I don't think that's the way Israelis really look at it, because, you know, Israel has its own insanities.
I mean, we're pretty schizophrenic people, too.
Okay, so that's something we're used to.
What did happen, however, was a realization among many Israelis that Israel cannot rely on a given American administration, and therefore, we have to start producing more of our own weapons, etc.
That we need to be more self-reliant because as we saw what happened when Biden, we can't, our national security cannot be dependent on whether Donald Trump wins an election or Joe Biden wins an election.
So I think that was a very important revelation.
And interestingly, prior to this, there were anti-Israel Americans who used to say, we should stop helping Israel.
We should stop We should stop selling Israel arms.
We should stop giving Israel money.
And that was a very anti-Semitic position.
But now what's happened is that more Israelis are feeling that we need to stop relying on America as much as we have, because we saw that throughout this war, every time Biden said, don't, I have to point something out.
I believe, and I think a lot of people do, Months ago, we could have won the war in Gaza.
We might have even retrieved all the hostages.
Had Biden not put, constantly tied our hands behind our back.
Every time we said, okay, we need to do something.
We need to go into Rafa.
No, don't go into Rafa.
And, you know, no, we saw the maps.
Don't go in there.
Don't kill anybody.
Don't go to the Philadelphia corridor.
Don't, and he kept saying don't, and then withheld weapons that we needed.
So all of that slowing down of everything made it impossible for us to achieve a really decisive victory in the time frame that we should have been able to do it.
Yeah, absolutely outrageous that the Biden administration tried to prevent you from doing what had to be done to rescue the hostages and secure your nation.

All right, let's talk about your book, because I think this is a perspective that is often forgotten when we try and understand the insanity of the Democrat Party.
To hell in a handbasket.
This is Carter, Obama and the Arab Spring.
Talk to us, Ruthie, about this through line, this thread of...
Democrat foreign policy with regards to the Middle East that always seems to put the support on the bad guys and hobble the good guys.
What's going on here?
Give us the big picture.
Yes, this is how sad it is.
I wrote that book more than a decade ago.
And when I started, the point of the book was going to be it was spurred By Jimmy Carter's publication of his book, Peace Not Apartheid, okay?
This very, very anti-Israel book.
So I started out with that, and as I was researching the book, you know, to expose Jimmy Carter, the so-called Arab Spring erupted while I was partway through.
So I said, oh, oh, this is interesting.
And of course, I didn't believe for a minute that it was an Arab Spring.
It was an uprising, but it wasn't the kind that everybody was talking about.
So as I dug deeper, I was also watching current events, right, and also reading Jimmy Carter's diary, his memoirs from his years in the White House, and all the story of the hostage crisis when, you know, Khomeini's people, you know, in 1979, took The U.S. Embassy hostage.
And why that's fascinating today is that what Carter, if you read Carter's diary, and I can't remember now exactly the word, so I would have to paraphrase, but this is the gist.
On the day that he was informed of the takeover of the embassy, he basically wrote something along the lines of, well, Rosalind and I Watched a movie or went bowling.
He said something, you know, mundane, and got word that our embassy staff was taken hostage and there's nothing much you can do.
Something, I mean, it's jaw-dropping, okay?
But given what we know about Jimmy Carter today, this was the attitude.
Well, you know, okay.
And then he began to try to negotiate, and of course that didn't work, etc., etc.
And again, why this is so relevant, and it's relevant to President Trump's tweet, is that when were these hostages released?
On the day that Ronald Reagan was inaugurated.
And, you know, so I see some parallels, but one thing, a serious parallel, Is that when you have leftists, Democrats, in the White House, and their entire administration, their whole worldview is distorted.
And the worldview is, if we appease the enemies, they won't be our enemies.
It means that they weren't taking into account Radical Islamism.
They weren't taking serious ideology into account.
And this goes back also to their, what I call their racism, you know, or the racism of low expectations.
Because rather than taking seriously what your enemy says he wants to do and proceeds to try to do, listen to him.
Don't behave as though, well, it doesn't.
They don't really mean it.
By the way, this was one of our mistakes on October 7th as well.
It's like, well, we'll give them work permits.
Well, let's keep the peace and quiet.
Not peace.
Peace and quiet, which is a very different thing.
So I just see so many parallels.
And Jimmy Carter, basically what happened was in came Obama a few years later, and he proceeded to Islamize the Middle East That Jimmy Carter had started.
I mean, that's what he did.
He emboldened Iran.
He went, you know, wherever he went to his first trip, Obama, when he was elected, his first trip was to Egypt.
And guess what?
To address the Muslim Brotherhood.
It's like even in the Arab world, they don't know who the good guys are.
So, you know, as I have to say, you watch it and you can't believe it.
And the only explanation is It's not just that they hate Israel.
What they hate about Israel is what they hate about America.
They, you know, that's it.
They hate America.
Yeah, I think it's also compounded not only, you know, I've been saying this for years on my radio show, that the old taxonomy, the categorization of Republican versus Democrat or even conservative versus liberal is passé, is irrelevant.
The only dividing line is between those who love America and those who hate America.
But there's one more compounding factor that I learned as I was teaching the ideology of jihad to the U.S. military.
And this goes for the left writ large.
If you don't have faith, or if you deride faith, or you don't believe in the transcendental or that there is a creator, there is no way on earth you will ever understand the power of religion, even if it is a fundamentalist, you know, theocratic, Islamic version of faith.
You just won't get it.
If you don't believe in God, you just won't get the power of jihadism.

I need a sanity check with regards to a...
An article of faith I've had for years now.
I've been to Israel many, many times.
I've spoken there.
I've worked closely with the counterterrorism professionals from Israel.
And my contention is, and hopefully you won't disabuse me of it, that there may be dissension and division.
There may be a heterogeneous political environment.
But at the end of the day, especially after the Shoah and the Holocaust, The Israeli people will do what it takes to protect themselves.
Am I sound in that analysis, Ruthie Bloom?
You certainly are.
And I'll tell you, you know, if we just raise one anecdote about what happened not so long ago during the war that all Israelis cheered over was the beeper, beeper gate, the explosion of all these beepers simultaneously wounding Hundreds of Hezbollah terrorists.
It was genius, okay?
Simultaneously.
And I tell you, I can't think of any Israeli who didn't react to that almost the way we reacted to the Entebbe raid.
There's something about it that is like, wow, we perform miracles when we need to.
Yeah, yeah.
I'm so glad you put it into historic perspective.
The Entebbe raid, in which I believe Benjamin Netanyahu's brother who led that operation was killed rescuing the hostages.
So that's an absolutely perfect, perfect way to end this interview.
You've been a stranger for far too long.
