Sebastian Gorka LIVE: The Dem's Desperate Insurrection Plan
| Copy link to current segment

Time Text
The decades, and it's consistently backfired on the party in power.
So instead of going to the extremes, I remind my colleagues that this body is most effective when it's bipartisan.
If we want in the next four years the Senate to be as productive as the last four, the only way that will happen is through bipartisan cooperation.
Well, well, well, isn't that interesting?
The most senior Democrat in the upper house in the Senate on Capitol Hill is demanding bipartisanship from President Trump and the new MAGA party.
Can we stop calling it the GOP party?
Let's just call it the MAGA party.
I wonder why...
I wonder why.
Welcome, dear friends.
It's Friday.
It's Ask Dr. G Anything Friday.
It's Second Amendment Friday.
We're going to talk national security, of course, with our good friend, Colonel Dr. Jim Carafano.
And we're going to assure making movies great again, cinematic review in the third act, because we We have so much to talk otherwise politically and culturally here that we're going to just go around the horn with the great Chris Coles.
The phone board is already blowing up.
If you want to ask me anything, keep it clean.
83333 Gorka is the number to the studio.
That's 833-334-6752.
Jeff, that's real, right?
That clip of Chuck Schumer saying we need to be nice now, isn't it?
It's a lot different than you hear us, Gorsuch.
You hear us, Kavanaugh.
He's a lot different now, isn't he?
He's not in power.
Does he sound worried to you, Jeff?
What's that all about?
I think it's the most ridiculous statement that he's ever made out of all of them.
I mean, did this come out like that?
Oh, no, I want to work together.
Right.
We like you now.
We like you now.
Let's work together with you.
Let's go through the list of reasons why not to work with the Democrats.
Let's start with the 2020 election.
When you get the billionaire donors who now are super friendly with President Trump, the likes of Mark Zuckerberg, dropping $400 million in an attempt to privatize the election to quote unquote fortified, especially in Democrat strongholds where you can get drop boxes.
Not Republican ones.
No, no, no, no, no.
You can have them in Democrat ones.
Or you can get Reid Hoffman, former CEO of Netflix and others, support the Democrats or other billionaires, the founder of LinkedIn, fund the E. Jean Carroll case against President Trump, or have the FBI Raid Mar-a-Lago.
Have the Biden DOJ initiate multiple investigations under Jack Smith.
Coordinate with Fannie Willis in Georgia in the Trump, in the Biden White House to bring cases against the former president and now the president-elect.
Or shall we go on and on with the Russia-Russia hoax?
Should we talk about Judge Juan Mirchan?
Should we talk about Catholics in Richmond, Virginia, being spied upon by the FBI simply because they went to a Latin mass and were thus labeled as potential domestic threats?
Or parents who went to school board meetings saying, no, you're not going to assign pornographic and pedophilic reading material to our children, and we're not going to have you put masks on them either.
Are these the people that we have to have bipartisan collaboration with?
Well, how about the most obvious of all?
The greatest irony of what you did seven weeks ago, if there was one issue, if you are a savvy political operative, that you should not gift the man who won the election in 2016 It is the issue which propelled him to the White House in the first place.
Yes, we can talk about all other things, pride in America, peace through strength, the economy, bringing jobs back to Americans here in America.
But what's really, I mean, the most iconic element of that election?
Build the walls.
It's making sure that we have national sovereignty and that we don't have a literal horde of illegals crossing the border every week.
If there were one issue the Democrats should not have gifted President Trump, it is immigration.
Instead, they gave it to him in spades, in buckets, in JCB diggers.
Literally opening the border.
The official number is 8 million.
If you add to that, the 8 million are who?
People who've actually been met with and engaged with by federal authorities and have been let into the country after they've met with that agent of the Customs and Border Protection Agency.
Just waved on in through the CBP1 app.
8 million, according to the Biden White House.
If you add to that the Godaways, those who crossed the border and who were never met by any representative of federal government, you can safely double that number, which means 16 million.
16 million.
And now you want us to play nice?
I have utterly no interest at all.
In working with those who hate America.
Why would you?
Think of the motto of the movement.
Let's not call it the GOP. It is the MAGA party.
What does MAGA stand for?
Make America Great Again.
Why would I wish to cooperate with those who detest America, who think America is the problem, who think that it is riven through with racism, with white supremacy, with inbuilt bigotry based upon skin color?
I have nothing in common with these people.
I chose America as a legal immigrant to the United States because I believe it to be the greatest nation ever created by man.
That's non-negotiable.
Don't ask me.
Ask the man who windsurfed from Cuba over shark-infested waters.
Look at the people who are Endangering their lives to come here because they understand what America is or what America was and can be again.
So no, Chuck, no to anybody who was aiding and abetting the anti-American, anti-MAGA movement of the last eight years.
If you think America is a problem, I'm not even going to shake your hand.
It's a crazy thought.
But I would like both of our political parties, the America Party and the Democrat Party, to love America.
We can have differences on policies and how to maintain America's greatness, but those differences are on the margin.
They're details.
They minutiae.
But the standing point, the non-negotiable, the sine qua non of me collaborating with, cooperating with, or even just shaking your hand, that which is non-negotiable is that you love America.
If you don't, sorry.
No, bipartisanship.
Bipartisanship is for those who love the United States.
I'm Sebastian Gorka.
This is America First on Friday.
The number here is 833-333-GORKA. That's 833-334-6752.

All the America first gear, including the T-shirt with President Trump in that gorgeous garbage truck pulling up to the White House with a very simple phrase, he's back.
All that and so much more at sebgorkastore.com.
That is S-E-B-G-O-R-K-A store.com.
Can you post that, Jeff?
Yeah.
No compromise with the Democrats.
All right.
He could start by confirming all of his nominees if he wants to work together.
Oh, that's a nice idea.
You should mention that.
I like that.
I like that.
I got to redo the clocks for this segment.
The clock will, like, blink off a couple times.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I won't do it anywhere near towards the end.
No worries.
Yeah.
Yeah.
On that?
Testing?
One, two, three?
Yeah, we're good.
Okay, cool.
Hey, Paul!
He's on the phone.
Okay.
Will you take that cup, Guy, and just get rid of it?
So you're looking for a place?
Yeah.
So I looked at a bunch of buildings.
I want to be close to the White House.
Last time I was kind of more on Capitol Hill, so I want to be more downtown.
So, we'll see.
So I looked at a bunch of places today.
So, a bunch of good options.
So, like, yeah, I'm definitely going to get one.
Frank Lentz might be right in a room.
Oh, Frank Lentz might have a room for you.
It should be vacant.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah.
I heard a certain Speaker of the House moved out a little over a year ago.
Yeah.
Alright, I'm going to play cut four here for Matt.
I'll do Angel Tree at the top.
Anything in particular we want to add?
Yeah, let's talk about the Elon Vivek thing and then Mike Johnson.
Got it.
Perfect.
Did you say something, Jeff?
I was just talking to Paul.
Okay.
Sir, do you prefer to come in with a card?
Actually, come in with eight, and then I'll do Angel Tree.
Copy that.
Yeah, thank you.
Thank you, sir.
Hey, Jeff, can you tell Paul to use all caps on the phone screening thing so I can read it?
So was that a hard thing when Alex said he wanted you here half the year?
Yeah.
No, they didn't tell me they wanted it.
No, but I just know that I'm going to be doing enough stuff.
I'm talking to all these foreign leaders.
I'm getting foreign governments reaching out like crazy.
I'm going to be hitting Europe.
You've got to be here.
There's just too much going on.
Right.
When the Secretary of State calls and says, hey, you want to go with us to the Middle East?
It's usually that day.
You need to be ready to go with a go bag and ready to go.
A go bag.
Yeah.
That happened to me quite a bit during the Trump administration the first time.
You know, all of a sudden I get a call from Pompeo's team.
Hey, you want to go with us?
We're going to go negotiate the end of the Afghan war.
And I'm like, okay.
If you insist.
Yeah, I was like, all right.
We're just chatting.
We're just chatting.
You are coming in with a cut?
I am.
Yeah, and then I'll do Angel Tree.
I've never gone on Air Force One though, so I want You've never been?
I've never been.
So I did Air Force Two a bunch.
But, yeah.
I want to go on Air Force One.
I want to interview Trump on Air Force One.
I know.
So I hear so.
It is going to be important for Democrats, though, to have a strategy on messaging and on which pitches they're going to swing at.
And I think you see, really, the Trump crowd giving Democrats a gift because Elon Musk and these other billionaires are so at the forefront of shaping what looks like it's going to be their policy approach and the politics of it.
This is going to be a pro-billionaire, billionaire's first agenda.
Oh, really, Julian Castro?
Billionaires first?
I don't think so.
We will dissect that momentarily with one of our dearest friends here on America First.
But before we do that, the Angel Tree program may have gifted over half a million dollars worth of Christmas gifts to boys and girls across America who have an incarcerated parent.
Thanks to you and thank you for all your donations.
But the program doesn't rest after Christmas.
It continues through the year, especially with the summer camp program.
So if you want to keep supporting these girls and boys who are incredibly vulnerable, more than 70 percent of them will end up in prison themselves if we don't break that cycle.
And if you meant to make a donation at Christmas but didn't, it's not too late.
Please go to my website, sebgorka.com, and click on the Angel Tree banner at the top.
The donation is tax deductible.
You can call it in as well.
The number is 888-206-2794.
That's 888-206-2794.
Or just go to my webpage, sebgorka.com.
That's S-E-B-G-O-R-K-A, sebgorka.com, and the Angel Tree banner.
It is wonderful that after supporting us for nigh on six years, he's in studio for the last few days before everything changes here at Salem and in D.C. He is the Washington Bureau Chief.
For the juggernaut that is Breitbart.com.
Matt Boyle, Merry Christmas.
So, can we, is it, can I share that?
I think I was horrified by what you said in the break.
You've never been on Air Force One.
I've been on Air Force Two.
I've flown with the Secretary of State, but I want to go.
I hope so.
Fingers crossed.
We'll see what President Trump says.
Do you want to hear my story about going on Air Force One?
Sure.
I go on Air Force One to a campaign rally in Youngstown, Ohio, and I'm like blown away.
It's like, oh my gosh, this is better than a movie with Harrison Ford.
And I walk to the front of the nose, because if you've got the right badge, you can go anywhere.
And I walk into the president's office, say hi to the president, come back, and then it's time for lunch.
And so the Navy mess personnel, because the Navy mess runs the food on the plane as well, give me a menu and I order my fish tacos.
And they were good fish tacos.
But then I go back to the White House and four weeks later...
From the Navy mess, I get my bill for the fish tacos.
They were expensive fish tacos.
No, they were.
But the point is, you may be a deputy assistant to the president, but you're going to pay for your fish tacos with Air Force One.
They're like $14.
But it was fine.
It was fine.
But we have got to rectify that.
All right, let's get back to business.
It blew up on...
Social media last night.
I don't really, at first glance, take these things seriously.
I think Dan Bongino has a rule.
Wait 72 hours to see whether there's really something to something that exploded.
This H1B1 visa kerfuffle with Vivek making some statements that we need to have lots of...
You know, immigrants with these visas come in.
Elon kind of backing him up, but not quite aggressively.
And now the mainstream media is saying, it's the billionaires versus the MAGA base.
You know MAGA better than anyone.
How should we read this?
Is this just like stuff?
Social media glitch?
So, well, first off, I think the establishment media framing of this debate is entirely wrong, right?
Like, these are all people that are part of the movement.
And I think that this is a healthy policy debate to have.
It's one that we've been talking about on Breitbart for a decade, right?
Like, or longer, really.
So if you go back and read our immigration coverage, we have Two people full-time assigned to covering immigration as an issue on the policy front and then many more that are down on the border in Texas covering that side of things as well.
So I highly recommend people read their stories that we've done over the many years from Neil Monroe and John Bender.
The immigration debate is a healthy debate.
We need to have a serious conversation about this because what's happening is You know, some of the billionaire class out there, if you will.
I'm not talking about Vivek and Elon.
I'm talking about, you know, your Jeff Bezos's of the world, the Chamber of Commerce, etc.
What they do is they use the H-1B visas and all sorts of different visa programs to try to get around having to hire American workers.
So what they want to do is bring in a whole subservient class of workers who are basically indentured servants.
Well educated but cheap.
It's cheap, and then they're stuck working for the company that they work for because if they got fired or something or they quit, they have six weeks to find another sponsor for their visa.
Otherwise, they're out of the country.
So there are some serious questions, and what happens is a lot of these companies want to hire these people.
So let's say you've got an H-1B tech worker or something like that.
They want to hire somebody, oh, I don't know, $80,000, $90,000 a year rather than paying an American $120,000 to $130,000 a year to do the same job.
For a company, if you're talking about a workforce of 100 or 200 people, you know, that $40,000, $30,000, $40,000 a worker, it adds up.
Over one year, over five years or more.
And so these companies are aggressively doing this.
In fact, most major corporations in this country have lobbyists in Washington, D.C. who are literally working lawmakers on exactly this, right?
Like, this is the conversation that happens behind the closed doors in the boardroom that you never see on national television.
So it's healthy that we're having this debate.
It is.
I completely agree with you.
And it reminds me, there was a buddy of mine in my basic training squad in the Territorial Army in the UK who shocked us by leaving England, very smart guy, and taking his family to Australia.
He had to prove...
There's nobody in Australia that could do the job he was being given as a Brit.
I like that.
You can come here, but only if you have a unique talent that nobody else has and you're not coming here simply because you're cheap.
And you'll see people like Elon pointed out, too.
I saw one of the things he was posting on X or Twitter or whatever we call it these days.
He was pushing the story of the guy, the Turkish guy who founded 5G and then he came to the US, studied at Caltech and other universities and then couldn't stay because of visa issues and so then he went back and then the Chinese got a hold of him and they got ahead of us on 5G. Okay, well that guy is like an Einstein level person.
We're talking about a very different, maybe even less than that, one in a billion, right?
And so, I mean, those are a handful of people on the planet.
We have a special visa category for them.
It's called an O-1 visa.
That's a very different visa than the H-1B visas.
The H-1B visas are like the IT guy that you call when you can't set up your internet.
At the end of the day, I stay on all of this stuff, whether it's foreign policy, whether it's immigration visas, there's one person who's going to make the decision and set the table.
It's President Trump.
Correct.
And when it comes to immigration, guess what?
It's President Trump and Stephen Miller.
Right.
Right?
Exactly.
And so, and by the way, Stephen Miller would almost certainly agree that it's healthy to have this debate.
I haven't talked to him in a long time, but I've known Stephen Miller going back more than a decade, and back when he worked in the Senate, and even before that when he worked in the House.
And so I can tell you that he absolutely agrees that this is a major issue of national importance, and we need to do what's best for the American worker.
Debate is healthy, but at the end of the day, 77 million Americans voted for President Trump.
He doesn't know whether it's X or Twitter.
I don't care.
He's back on it!
He's back on True Social at Real Matt Boyle.
He's back on Twitter as well.
Just make sure you read all of his articles at brightbart.com.
Don't forget to give me a follow as well on all the social media platforms.
Look for Seb Gorka, Sebastian Gorka.

Sorry, sir, I missed the part.
Did you say you want to use...
Add his Twitter after the Truth Social.
Mboil1.
Copy that.
Yes, let me do it right now.
Thank you.
Let's talk about Mike Johnson.
I don't know what's going to happen.
So maybe he wins, maybe he doesn't.
But he's already got one against him, and that person's not going back.
So Massey is against him.
Was there a vacated chair, or what happened?
Why is there going to be a vote on the third?
There always is at the beginning of the new Congress.
So the new Congress begins with no speaker.
It begins with a vacant chair.
So you don't have to vacate the chair.
In fact, if you look back at the Boehner strategies, I'm the first person in America that ever wrote about a motion to vacate the chair with Meadows when he did it to Boehner.
And that was our third try at Boehner.
The first two tries were on the January 3rd vote.
Because we knew that there was a vacated chair.
So when you're going to vacate the chair, there's two steps if you're in the middle of a Congress.
The first is you have to vacate the chair.
The second is you have to then elect a new speaker.
That's what happened with McCarthy.
And it's what kind of happened with Boehner.
But Boehner agreed to go because he knew he didn't have the votes.
Right.
Like, so that was in the fall of 2015.
But, you know, he could have forced their hand and made them call it, made them call the motion and then vacate them.
But he agreed because he went and counted the votes and he's like, oh, I don't have it.
So he agreed to go.
But McCarthy made them call it.
So I'll do my pillow at the top and then I'll tee up cut four.
OK. - Okay.
Tee up, cut four.
Copy that.
Thank you, sir.
Does the Twitter handle work for this time?
Yeah.
Thank you, sir.
You excited to go in the White House?
Super exciting.
Super excited.
It's going to be a little bit different this time, I think.
I think so.
I think it's going to be better.
I'm very excited about this one.
We're just not going to have, you know, the Tillessons, the Boltons, the Kellys.
Yeah.
It's going to be very different.
Yeah.
Bolting is such an embarrassment.
Oh my gosh.
From somebody who was so well positioned in the conservative movement too, I mean he was really in with the conservative movement in that he just went the exact opposite way.
And nobody respects him there.
Yeah.
One minute.
He's the most disappointing of them all, because you can even see it coming with McMaster and Tillerson and those guys, right?
With Bolton, you expected better.
He doesn't have an excuse.
Yeah.
What's this on Jack Smith?
Doctor, you just want to double confirm one more time you'll tee up cut four, is that correct?
I will tee it up after I do my pillow.
Thank you, sir.
Thank you.
Clack Smith is hiring a lawyer.
Yes.
Lawyer up.
All right, kill mics.
All right, kill kill mics.
Please.
Oh, there he is.
There's my guy.
Good job.
How's your new show going?
Good?
Very well, thank you.
I heard good.
Thank you.
Yes, indeed.
Thank you, Mr. President.
Call board is lit up.
John, Teresa, John, Randy, little big mouth.
Don't go anywhere.
This is America First.

This is not NPR. This is a free market enterprise made possible by great patriots like Mike Lindell, the inventor of the MyPillow.

That's 800-829-8468.
MyPillow.com.
Promo code G-O-R-K-A. All right, so I learned you don't have to vacate the chair.
You have to have the speaker voted on at the beginning of each congressional term.
That's why he is the Washington Bureau chief.
How's it going to go for Mike Johnson?
Let's get our good friend's reaction to this clip from Mike.
A man we like, Congressman Scott Perry cut for.
I think that it's right for members to at least question whether the leadership we have going forward is going to be appropriate and adequate with this presidency.
And, you know, like I said, I like Mike.
It is not personal.
It is business.
But we've got to make sure that we can get the Trump agenda done.
And these members are signaling that they don't know that they have the confidence in Mike to be able to do that based on past performance.
So Monday, January the 6th is a certification of the Electoral College results, the Friday before they have to vote on a speaker.
It seems like we're stuck in this constant trap, Matt, that they're either snakes like McCarthy or they're people like Mike Johnson who seem super nice but kind of cave or just can't get it done.
Are we condemned to this kind of cycle?
What do you predict?
I don't know what's going to happen on January 3rd.
All I know is that the new Congress begins with no speaker.
That's how it happens at the beginning of every Congress.
In the first order of business, as you saw in the last Congress, remember when McCarthy had to go 15 rounds before he finally won, and then he lasted nine months, eight months, something like that, before he was ousted.
But you have to elect a speaker.
Before you do anything else.
Now, given the math of where we're at, the Republicans lost a couple seats on net from the last Congress in this last election.
They still got the majority.
And there's a couple vacancies and open seats and whatever.
The speaker can afford to lose Only one Republican member and still win.
Assuming everybody is there and voting for a person.
Meaning that they have to vote.
You can't vote present.
So if all the Democrats, all the Republicans who are going to be sworn in on January 3rd are there and they vote for a person, then Mike Johnson can only afford to lose one Republican.
There's already one Republican, Thomas Massey from Kentucky, who said he's not going for him.
He re-upped that again today.
So there's no way that Thomas Massey's going to be there.
So then that leaves the question, is there another one that will go with him?
And it's very possible.
So now, if Mike Johnson can't get there, then they would probably pretty quickly rally behind somebody else, because there are people out there saying that, you know, pointing to the date of January 6th.
You don't want this to drag through January 6th into January 20th.
No, because they need to certify the election for President Trump.
I do think that there are a number of other people that could get elected speaker.
But would they get the vote?
Because this is what we saw with McCarthy, Jim Jordan, and...
That there were people that were liked by the Freedom Caucus or couldn't get the vote.
I think that anybody that had a strong endorsement from President Trump, if Mike Johnson was out of the way, because there's a clean slate opening this Congress, I think that whether that's Jim Jordan or I've heard the name Tom Emmer, who's the current whip in the House, any one of them, if Trump picks them, I think the vast majority of Republicans will go for them.
Mike Johnson has so much baggage.
We saw the damage of the spending bill, debt ceiling fight, which President Trump didn't even get what he asked for in this last week with the debt ceiling.
President Trump wanted that taken care of.
It wasn't because of Johnson's ill planning.
Johnson comes in with an enormous amount of baggage.
I do think that anyone else Would have a clean slate and a fresh start for the House Republican Conference.
And I think that they would all follow what President Trump says in terms of direction, in the White House staff, in terms of direction on the legislative strategy.
So I think that anybody else would be a good start.
But again, it just depends on what the members are going to do.
And at this point, Johnson's hanging on by a thread.
So, you know, hey, cockroaches have survived nuclear winter, right?
Like, so...
So you never know.
I don't know if he'll survive it or not.
Matt Boyle didn't just call the Speaker of the House a copyright.
He's just making a analogy about longevity in Capitol Hill.
Make sure you follow him for the best in-depth analysis of this stinking cesspit that is Washington, D.C. And Boyle1 on Twitter, RealMattBoyle on Truth Social.
Your calls next here on America First.
January 6th.
Okay.
So you'll be here for the certification.
Yep.
Wow.
So, amazing.
So, historic.
Thanks for all your support, buddy.
Yeah, definitely.
And hey, we'll be there in the White House.
So, like, yep.
It's going to be fun.
How should they shake things up?
Because I loved it when Spicer had all the regional media coming off the sky.
They need to change the room.
They need to change the room.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Right.
Do you have a relationship with Caroline?
Alright.
Thanks for everything, Matt.
Thanks for all your support.
God bless.
See you, buddy.
Yeah.
Thank you.
Hello, who's this?
Give me five.
That's six.
Hello?
Hi, who's this?
This is Little Big Mouth.
Okay, what's your name, Little Big Mouth?
My name is Tom.
Okay, Tom.
But if I may use the...
What do you want to talk about, Tom?
The 5th of November, with the roar of a mouse, the people took back the Senate and held on to the House.
But the biggest news of all was what news accounts wrote.
Trump beat Harris as well in the popular vote.
Despite a relentless negative media barrage and Joe Biden calling Trump supporters garbage, plus eight years of lawfare and attempts to kill him, the doors to the White House will soon let him in.
His foes promised to leave the country and spread fear of an end to democracy.
The establishment media put out similar cries, but millions of Americans rejected these lies.
And on the 6th of November, true joy filled the air Watching the left and big media pull out their hair.
The election was over.
Okay, it's way too long, way too long, Tom.
We can't do this on live radio, but thank you, Tom.
Appreciate it.
God bless.
Thank you.
you.
Bye-bye.
What on earth was that?
Thank you.
I just like the name.
I think people like that are loonies.
For what it's worth, he was a lot shorter when I screened him.
Yeah, right.
They usually are.
Yeah, anyway.
He's not taking phone calls today.
Can you pause for your phone calls?
Can you pause for your phone calls?
News and talk radio is still really popular, even in the internet age.
What you are about to hear them say is mind-boggling.
Here's looking at you, snowflake.
America first.
I'm going to miss having great, great guests and great, great supporters of the show like Dr. Ashley Lucas.
I didn't want to be involved with this product.
Why?
Because I'd given up on losing weight, but Katie said, you're going to do it and we're going to do it together.
42 pounds shed by me, 36 by my muse.
She looks stunning.
No injections, no needles, no chemical dependency like all the other products.
Just five protein-rich meals a day that burn the fat rapidly.
Right off.
I'm down to a size 36 in my blue jeans.
I haven't had a size 36 waist since I was in my 20s.
If I can do it, so can you.
Call her team, 864-644-1900, myphdweightloss.com.
That's 864-644-1900, myphdweightloss.com.
I was going to go to the lady who wanted to talk about Joe Biden.
She dropped off.
Don't do that.
Especially after I call out your name.
That's a little bit rude.
Let's go to John in Nebraska.
Hi, Seth.
Hi.
I grew up in Wilmington, Delaware, not more than four miles from Biden and went to high school at the same time.
I'm sorry for you.
Excuse me?
Yeah, I grew up not more than four miles.
Yeah, I heard you.
What point would you like to make?
Well, do you think that the CCP, the Communist Party, is setting up a fifth column in this country?
Well, they already have propaganda institutes across the nation.
There are reports from California.
I'm answering your question.
Why are you butting back in?
Go ahead.
No.
We know what the CCP is doing.
What's your real question?
Well, I'm fearful that they've already established themselves into the media, onto our college campuses, and are now getting into our secondary schools.
Yeah, well, you shouldn't be fearful.
That's un-American.
But rest assured, President Trump will deal with it because he understands the peer competitor, the greatest threat we face, is China.
Thank you, Tom.
Let's go to Joe in Illinois.
Dr. G, I would like to see, from the time that President Trump takes the oath of office, 20,000 Marines going into the Panama Canal to take it back.
Well, he has said some very, very interesting things.
I gave an interview on exactly this topic this morning, 8 a.m.
on Newsmax.
Carter gave it away basically for free.
70% of the shipping that travels through it is U.S.-based or is a U.S. cargo.
And it was never part of the deal that on both ends of the Panama Canal, those shipping facilities should be controlled by China.
So I'm not going to predict what President Trump does, but what he has already messaged is absolutely on the money.
Let's go to John in San Diego.
Go.
So...
John?
Yes.
Yes.
Now that everybody's talking about balancing the budget, it would be nice if they knew how.
Everyone's talking about cutting spending, okay?
Cutting spending is great because a lot of spending is wasteful, inflationary, and stupid, but it won't reduce the debt if the money stays in the country.
Hang on, hang on.
Haven't you made this point on my show every week for the last four weeks?
No, no.
I've done it once a year ago.
No, no, no, no, John.
That's no, no, no.
Now you're telling porkies.
Don't tell lies.
You should not call back and make the same point again and again and again, John.
Is there something different you'd like to say?
Yes.
This is why Trump is so insistent on instituting tariffs.
Yes.
You've made this point already, John.
I've got like four days left.
Why are you doing this?
You're like a broken record, John.
Do you want to say something different?
I'll give you a minute to say something different.
No, that's really all I have to say.
Why are you so obsessed, John?
Okay, thank you.
Goodbye.
Randy, Noakesville, Line 5. Good afternoon, Dr. Gorka.
So weird.
Why would you call back with the same flip, like a recorded message every couple of weeks?
It's about the inflation, the printing money.
It's like, dude, there's more to life than that.
There's a new cycle.
Sorry, Randy, I'm getting a little bit, you know, I've got only a few days left and I'd like people to actually think before they die last.
But please, Randy, go ahead.
Absolutely, Dr. Gorka.
I completely agree and I appreciate it.
You've always kept me on track as a guy who loves talk radio.
You have been so great for these going on six years, Dr. Gorka.
I'm going to miss you very much.
Can you believe it'll be six years next week?
Isn't that nuts, Randy?
It's wild.
It's wild.
You filled an empty space with my talk radio life.
As a guy who can listen to talk radio while I do my job, I'm a house painter.
After Rush left and all, man...
You've really made my afternoons really nice.
I'm going to miss you.
I appreciate you.
I know you're going to do a great job for us.
Hey, I'm in Knoxville.
I know in your new position as the head of anti-terrorism, Oak Ridge, Tennessee, the secret city, the National Laboratory, I know you'll keep a close eye on that, Dr. Gorka, for us.
No comment.
Anything else you want to say?
I wanted to ask you.
Have you ever shot the Smith& Wesson 500 Magnum revolver?
No, because I've watched the videos of them, and they're brutal, dude.
I mean, it's just too much, too much for a hand cannon.
I just got a 50AE Desert Eagle.
Haven't shot it yet.
That's far more manageable from what I've heard.
I love my 44s.
I love my 41s.
My favorite is the 10 mil.
Have you fired the 500?
No, no, I haven't.
What's the other one?
What's the other Smith?
The 460?
Is that right?
What's the other one they have?
I'm not really sure.
They just look...
They look just like wrist busters.
Now, to me, that's what it looked like.
You know, it's a...
I'm thinking...
I like turkey season, but I don't want the turkey.
I just want the feathers and the tail and everything.
If I used one of those, I could probably still get the feathers, right?
Yeah, you have something left over.
You have something left over.
Thank you, Randy.
I'll pass on the 500. Maybe I'm just not mad enough.
John in New Jersey, line two.
Dr. G. Yeah.
Quick question.
Not sure if this is a stupid question or not, but when President Trump takes office, it's It can be proved that Joe Biden hasn't been making any of the decisions and signing the bills and appointing...
Hang on, hang on.
Have you called on this topic before?
I have not.
Okay, go ahead.
I think I know where you're going.
Go ahead, John.
Would he have the right to challenge any of the decisions that the president has made in recent history?
Well, of course he would, and then he'd be stuck in court for the next four years.
It's a waste of time.
Just write new decisions.
Thank you, John.
It's like, of course he's senile.
Of course he's corrupt.
Of course he is.
But can we just, like, fix the country, please, instead of, you know, having court cases that go on for the next seven years?
Thank you, my friend.
Okay, shut the lines down now.
We'll take one more call in the next break.
I'm Sebastian Gawker.
This is America First coming to you from the ReliefFactor.com studios.
ReliefFactor, as we speak, is liberating over a million Americans.
I'm so grateful for this product.
Why?
I suffered from a lower back pain issue that plagued me for nine years, for almost a decade.
I took relief factor, and then, two weeks later, I was pain-free.
As of January the 1st, it's just a couple of days away, I will have been pain-free for six years.
Years.
If that sounds good to you, find out if you could be the next success story.
Call them up right now.
1-800-4-RELIEF or go to relieffactor.com.
You deserve to find out if you could be the next success story.
That number.
Don't wait another nanosecond.
1-800-473-5433.
relieffactor.com.
relief factor.com you know I text you today that I said I think you're the only host that doesn't have a fill-in today or best of
And the callers are making it sound like a best of show.
That guy has called with that too today.
Those are two calls that we've had over and over again.
But the thing that he said once a year ago is such a lie.
He says that all the time, yeah.
Such a lie.
He is good with some of the finance calls, but he's brought that up about the tariffs thing so much.
But really, do you have nothing new to say?
So annoying.
All right.
All right.
Thank you.
Alright, Benjamin.
Benjamin.
Oh, what's a fun one to come in with?
The Economics Woman.
Oh, yeah.
Is that a diss or is she...
No, she's saying because the economy is doing so well now.
The typical, but consumers just don't realize.
All right.
Good, good, good, good.
Actually, should we do that?
We'll do that with Jim.
We'll do that with Jim.
What is another one?
I'll come in with six and then we'll go to Benjamin.
Six is pretty nuts.
Thank you, sir.
Copy that.
No. No.
No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No.
Can't handle the truth?
Is reality just too much?
There's always NPR. I hear they have tote bags.
This is America First with Sebastian Gorka.
All of that you're saying is very speculative.
I'm still waiting.
Speculative?
After four years of Donald Trump.
Did money not change hands?
Scott, four years of Donald Trump, four years of a Joe Biden DOJ looking into these very things.
I'm still waiting to see.
Well, he can't be charged.
He's the president.
Right?
Joe Biden can't be charged.
I'm not talking about charges.
I'm still waiting to see the proof of Joe Biden enriching himself.
Jeff, is that a cut from like two years ago?
How old is that cut?
That's recent.
That's last night.
What?
Yeah.
That there's no evidence?
Yeah, my favorite part, four years of a Biden DOJ looking into Biden, they didn't find anything.
So no diamonds, no Porsches, no 10% for the big guy, no 21 shell companies?
No.
That didn't happen?
No checks from his brother.
None of that?
No.
That's so interesting.
CNN, I think, are dooming themselves to failure, but it's going to be fun to watch the dumpster fire.
If you enjoy our show, don't forget Katie's podcast every week with stories of real heroes and heroines finding back the left's insanity.
The Happy Women podcast with Jennifer Horne, wherever you get your podcasts.
Also blowing up on YouTube, that's Katie Gorka, Jennifer Horne, The Happy Women podcast.
Let's go to Benjamin in Atlanta.
Hey, Dr. Gorka.
I've been listening to you now for...
A few months, and you're really good.
I have a question.
I know this is going to be the slimmest U.S. House in probably U.S. history.
We're going to have 219 Republican House members, 215 Democrat House members, and I know two of them, Elise Stefanik and there's one in Florida, who are going to be in Trump's cabinet.
I know Trump—do you think— Yeah, but bringing them back doesn't make them united.
What should make them united is the fact that 77 million Americans voted for President Trump.
Yeah.
Right?
Yeah, yeah.
It's just, you know, we saw how the House was the past two years.
Right, but that was with Biden in the White House.
Now it's going to be President Trump with not just the Electoral College, but with, I mean, think about the math.
Four years ago, he broke the Thank you, Benjamin.
Let's celebrate what you and all of our listeners and all of the 77 million did.
You made it possible for that incredible victory for the President, for America, or the America First gear you could ever want on our website, sebgorkastore.com.
The Kamala Your Fire T-shirt, the Teddy Roosevelt Celebration Cigars, the Dr. G Brand, all of my books, so much more.
Treat yourself.
It's time to celebrate.
You did it, guys.
We did it.
Sebgorkastore.com.
President Trump did it.
S-E-B-G-O-R-K-A So
What would you do?
You didn't have it?
You didn't have it?
You didn't have it?
You didn't have it?
You didn't have it?
You didn't have it?
You didn't have it?
You didn't have it?
You didn't have it?
You didn't have it?
You didn't have it?
Oh, Jeff, fix your flipping camera.
You're like hiding behind the frickin' screen.
That's no good.
That's better.
You can put it back a little bit so you can see Katie's name.
Just a little bit.
That's good.
Yeah, down.
All right, 50 seconds.
Oh, I'll play cut 10 here, then we'll have a chat with Jeff.
No, I'll tee it up.
I'll do that.
I was not a general ever.
I played at soldiers in the British reserves, but thank you for the endorsement.
Dr. Sebastian Gorka.
I think I recognize that voice.
Was that Brent?
I think that was indeed our buddy Brent, the poet laureate of our show here on radio.
I want to have a chat with Jeff about what makes for a good radio show.
But first, I need to play...
I think it's Jeff's favorite cut for today.
And then maybe we'll take some calls.
But I couldn't work out why he cut this cut for me.
Because it's CNN and...
Was it a compliment of President Trump?
I don't think so.
Cut ten!
As I have said before, I think the best thing Trump could do for the economy is just basically nothing at all.
Be the hype man that this U.S. economy needs, because as I said, it has a lot going for it, even if consumers aren't yet recognizing it.
So that is the Catherine Rumpel, CNN economist.
Jeff, you put that in there because is she saying that America loves President Trump's economic policies or that Biden's the genius?
What was your read there?
No, it's the same thing that Biden's been saying for the last year, that the economy's doing great, you just don't realize it.
I thought it was that other one that, what was it, the other cut you gave me yesterday where people said, oh no, I was watching The Five and there was a clip about the economy being amazing in the last month and somebody made the point, well, yeah, Jeff, that's because President Trump won.
They were trying to take credit for it the last month.
Yeah, and Jessica Tarlov would say, the economy's so amazing and Biden's so amazing because the economy's so amazing.
And then somebody, Jesse, or somebody said, no, it's because Kamala lost.
I mean, are they really that stupid?
Well, what was it that Biden did in the last month that happened?
What was it?
That's right.
That's right.
Okay, I want to go to our calls, but give me back Jeff.
I haven't finished.
You're so quick on that kill switch, Guy.
It's like, it's all right.
Let's have a look at the studio.
Let's look at Jim doing his emails.
Let's look at our buddy Paul in the back fielding calls.
Let's look at Guy smiling.
We haven't done enough of this.
And as I slowly make my exit stage right off to the White House...
Jeff, don't we think that we owe to our colleagues, to the people taking over in the chair, to those who are budding podcasters, a little bit of your expertise, a little bit of your knowledge as well.
What makes for a good radio show, Mr. G? Let's see here.
I listened to enough of it, so I do know that.
Right!
But you as well.
You as well.
Between the two of us.
I'll pitch in as a kind of more of a consumer.
How long have you been doing radio, Jeff?
Off and on, it's been a long time now.
So it's probably since 2004. Well, I guess it's like 20 years.
There's a few-year break, yeah.
Because remember, there was the sports radio days I did for a while, too.
I know, I know.
But you started that...
20 years ago?
Yes, 2004. On a morning show, which was terrible.
The timing.
Yeah, don't give me a morning show ever.
Alright, so maybe let's start with the things that most people don't think about, right?
You've got to have a cool voice, you've got to have a bit of energy, but what are the things that people don't think about, Mr. G.? Alright, the people that I like the most, that'll kind of take the story of the day and even kind of have a little different take on it, or they'll mention something that nobody else is talking about.
That was Rush.
Wasn't that Rush?
Yeah, Rush does that.
Rush, his brain worked differently, and he'd see stuff in today's story that nobody else saw, right?
Yes, and Rush prepped a ton, which was amazing to me.
I read the book from his producer.
I'm surprised how much that he even prepped.
Like even like five years ago when he was the king for 20 years.
But that's why he had the paper rustling, right?
Yes, exactly.
And he had a machine where he could print out at the office news stories from like wherever he was at.
So over the weekend, that type of stuff.
All right, so doing something a little bit different with a current story.
What else?
What else do you think?
Number two, you need to enjoy it, like we were talking about.
Yes!
The problem is these people, when you sit there and basically you're talking to yourself in a room.
When you've done that for years, you can do it and sound kind of decent but not really into it, but it's the people that are still into it and they're still having fun and they still really want to do it.
That's the biggest thing.
Some of these people are just kind of going through the motions after a certain point.
Don't you agree?
They just sound...
I don't want to be harsh here, but they sound like they don't want to be there, Jeff.
Yes.
And the listener...
You don't have to be a psychiatrist.
You can tell that.
Yes, you can tell when people are checked out.
You can tell there's lots of different times.
Or if they are kind of given an opinion they don't really want to give because they're not really into it, but they've kind of had to change their views because of the way the country has changed.
You see a lot of that, too.
So here's Jeff's rules.
Do as much prep as I do for the show.
Hours and hours of prep.
Jeff can attest to that.
And look enthusiastic.
Anything else we want to add?
Yeah, yes.
The most important, you need a phenomenal producer.
I thought you were going to say you need to like science fiction and have lots of toys behind you.
No?
No, no.
He said you've got to have a phenomenal producer who survived with a narcissist woman in radio and started in sports, right?
And doesn't sing.
And hates singing and doesn't sing.
Okay.
I think we nailed it.
We've got the secrets here.
Thank you, Mr. G. Let's go to your calls.
Let's go to Nicholas, line one, Ohio.
Thank you so much.
It is an honor.
I'm a patriot, and my eighth-great-grandfather was the exchequer of the King's Colony of Virginia.
Most folks don't know what that is.
Sir, we need to figure out some way of saying if Joe Biden retires from his presidency and Kamala takes over, she should be called The 46.1 or 46.5 president, not the 47 president.
I like that, Nick, but it's not happening.
You look at his face, how happy he was to see President Trump.
You look at how she, Jill, dissed Kamala at that event right after the election.
There's no way he's handing over the keys to the kingdom, even if it were, you know...
Impossible.
Not happening.
But thank you.
And if it did, it would be, yes, it would be 46.1 or 46B, but not happening.
Thank you, buddy.
Let's go to Tom in Arizona, line two.
Hey, Dr. Gorka.
I just wanted to thank you for everything you do.
We're going to miss you.
And I think while you're in the White House, you're going to need to vent every once in a while.
Come back to your show for an hour, a week.
And have Jeff throw some trolls at you, because those are the funniest clips.
Nobody heard it, but if you're on Rumble.
You like the stuff we did in the breaks on Rumble?
Oh my God, ripping up those trolls is so funny.
That was my therapy, Tom.
That was my therapy.
Oh, it's great.
You remind me of my dad.
In a good way, right?
In a good way.
In a great way, yes.
I think Jeff, when he's pining for me after I leave, I think we're going to have to do a best of destroy the trolls selection of clips and I think we're going to have to put it out there.
That's a great Stay on the line, Tom.
Let's give Tom the President Trump rolling up to the White House in the garbage truck t-shirt because that is a great comment and he gets his for free.
You can get yours at sebgorkastore.com.
Tom, stay on the line.
We'll get your size and your mailing address and we'll send that to you free.
Love it, love it, love it.
Let's go to Dave in Kentucky.
Let's squeeze in one more call.
Yeah.
I'm going to ask you.
Who gives the Panama Canal to...
Jimmy Carter.
Sorry, who gave it to Carter?
Nobody gave it to him.
He was the president.
He gave it away.
Yeah, he gave it away.
Right.
That's why I was wondering.
He's the president, and he's giving it away, but who had it before he had it?
What do you mean, who had it?
We had it.
Yeah, we had it.
David, what point would you like to make, please, David?
If you gave it away, we can take it back, right?
It's not quite that simple.
It's not quite that simple, David.
All right.
Okay, thank you.
James, Georgia.
Sebastian, we're really looking forward to the great work you're going to do.
Thank you.
Thank you.
So, I'm a former D.C. guy.
Believe it or not, I worked in the D.C. government.
And I think I can...
I know a way that Trump can get cooperation from the District of Columbia government, and it's called the federal payment, $650 million.
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Go ahead.
You've got less than a minute.
Explain what we do with the federal payment, David.
I think with a little bit of—it would require a very short piece of legislation, but I think if they put—if Congress passed a law allowing the— Yeah, what is the saying?
Money talks and other stuff walks.
Yeah, David, there's a lot of money that goes into D.C., into the district, that perhaps the federal government, because it is not a state, should have even more control over, especially the commander-in-chief.
I like that.
Good stuff, David.
Great course today, even for a Friday.
Next up, what is the truth about the Panama Canal?
We'll talk national security.
We'll talk about Greenland.
We'll talk about, I don't know, what his favorite color is.
I've never asked him in six years.
We'll have the senior counselor to the president of the Heritage Foundation, our dear, dear friend, Colonel Dr. Jim Carafana.
If you enjoyed the deep dive, we're going to have a special, special discussion with Chris Coles in the third hour today.
Make sure you are subscribed to the long-form interview on the podcast platform of your choice.

All right, you can head in, Jim.
Oh, he's got lights up.
When you start with Jim, I gotta run out just to save the third hour?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
The Panama caller sounded like James Comer.
Yes!
No, no, no.
Like James Carville.
A little bit.
I thought Comer a little bit.
Was that real?
I don't know.
I think it was.
Oh, thank you.
Perfect.
Perfect.
Yeah, I got it.
That's got it.
Perfect.
Thank you.
My last day is, ironically, January the 6th.
Yeah.
So I've got one more week.
Monday.
Monday.
Yeah, hang on, Friday...
Yeah, yeah, yeah, that'll be my last Friday.
Yeah, good, good, good.
Do what?
Oh, wow, I've never been.
Nice.
Have you been?
I've heard there are parts of South Africa that are beautiful.
Beautiful.
God, it's got to be...
How long is that flight going to be?
Wow.
Wow.
That's good.
Thank you.
A little.
Not much.
Yeah.
I'm going to text you some images, Guy.
This will be for the 2D guest.
Copy that.
Thanks.
Yes, sir.
Oh, can we get a mic check from Jim?
Oh, mic check to say something?
Yeah.
Uh...
You're good.
How's that?
That works.
I'm good.
I'm really...
Never at a loss for words.
All right.
Greenland, Panama.
And I've got to play a cut from the board.
Greenland, Panama.
What else are we going to buy?
Canada.
Canada?
I'll just declare it.
Oh, right here.
Have we played Chaffetz?
Have we played five?
No.
Oh, good.
All right.
So what have we got here?
Oh, Angel Tree.
All right.
Angel Tree at the top.
Then I'll tee up five, and then Jim can react to that.
Actually, I'll introduce Jim, and then I'll tee up five.
Copy that.
All right, kill Mike's.
All right, kill kill Mike's.

It's casual Friday, at least, at the Heritage Foundation.
We are welcoming Colonel Dr. Jim Carafana for our penultimate session together here on America First to talk national security and foreign policy.
Let's tee it off with former Congressman Jason Chaffetz, who just made a kind of empirical statement about President-elect Donald J. Trump.
Cut five.
Oh, from the moment he was elected, he's done more to secure our border and take care of the United States on all fronts.
I mean, yeah, Guatemala, he put Mexico on notice.
The flow slowed down there.
Justin Trudeau up in Canada came running to Mar-a-Lago, pleading, hoping that he could have a moment of the president's time.
I think he's put China on notice as it relates to the Panama Canal.
He's demanded that our hostages be released by Hamas, promising, you know, all kinds of chaos that go on in the Middle East.
If those hostages are not returned, he's put Iran on notice.
We were talking outside about the speed of nominations, even ambassadorships that usually aren't done until after the inauguration.
How long have you been in D.C. working on policy issues?
A couple of decades?
Yeah, a couple of those, yeah.
You've seen a few transitions?
Oh, absolutely.
Isn't he right that it's as if he's already been inaugurated, whether it's at Notre Dame, whether it's deals with Japan, $100 billion, hey, could you make it $200?
It's as if President Trump is already in office, isn't it?
Trump worked on the 2016 transition team, so we saw the huge difference.
And it's not just that he has begun to transform things.
It's the way he's done it.
Remember, you only have one president at a time.
And nobody other than the U.S. government can speak on behalf of the U.S. government.
So what Trump has actually very cleverly done is not negotiate with anybody.
All he's done is said, when I'm president, this is going to happen.
And we've just watched the rippling things.
But the fact that I read this stat this morning, over 100 heads of state have met with or called President-elect Trump.
Over 100. So what people really don't understand about why this is such a unique presidency is that this is a man who was president before.
Yes.
And then had a gap and is coming back.
So this is somebody who for eight years has been in the global space and he comes into office as perhaps the most connected and experienced president in modern times really since FDR. Which makes it doubly different from 2016. Absolutely.
When he'd never done politics, hadn't been president, this time track record.
I can't remember who said it.
Somebody said it last week.
The big mistake...
What detractors have made is they've thought that he's been on the golf course for four years.
Exactly.
And the difference between when Biden came in—when Biden came in, everybody got the joke, right?
They all knew the Obama playbook.
It's like you're playing in the NFL, and every Sunday you gave your playbook to the other team.
The difference is they never quite understood how to deal with Trump.
Right?
Because the Biden shtick is so predictable.
It's not that Trump's unpredictable.
He's very predictable.
He's like the rabid dog.
He is going to defend America's interests.
And the problem is, if what you're trying to do is against America's interests, it's like trying to pull the bone from the junkyard dog.
It's just not going to work.
I'm so glad you said this, because it really annoys me.
You know, all the interviews that I've been doing, especially for foreign news outlets, they say, oh my gosh, it's unpredictability.
No, no, it's garbage!
Completely predictable.
If it's in America's interest, you're not getting past it.
Right.
It's like, really, seriously, it's like anybody that's ever wrestled with a dog that just would not let go of that bone or argued with a wife, it's like, no matter how much we argue with a wife, you're not going to win on this point.
Right.
That is Donald Trump.
You can actually see it in his face and in his skin.
As soon as you say something that really says, well, this is going to put Americans at risk, you can just see his posture and his face change.
Like, not while I'm president of the United States.
And since you were on transition with Katie, with myself, eight years ago, and now you're witnessing this from the outside, How can this impact the functioning of federal government after the 20th?
Because it's a completely different ballgame.
Well, this is the other thing that's changed dramatically, is if you took Trump when he first went into the real estate business and then fast-forwarded 10 years at how he ran his business.
And the answer was he spent 10 years learning how to run his business better.
So the reality is, Trump's first term, he learned how to run the federal government.
And we will all see the impact of that in the second term.
What do you think, because some people are still...
I mean, you look at the names and the faces and the nominees and the directors, you know, from Cash to Hegseth.
These are people...
There's no Tillerson's.
There's no John Kelly's.
Nevertheless, what do you think of the...
The Miles Taylors.
Are we going to see the anonymous factor again, or will that be gripped in the buzz?
Well, the biggest thing that you see when you look at this is, and this is both the political genius and the practical genius at stake, which is, what you see represented in all the political appointments are all the voices That Trump's nomination and his presidency gave voice to.
So all the people who said, we are not heard in Washington, all of them, they all have a voice.
The tent is reflected.
Exactly.
And the other thing, and it's not like...
Everybody's a mini-me, right?
It's not like everybody is a yes man.
But all the people that get a vote, and when you pair that with a decisive president who says, I'll listen to everybody, I'll give everybody a fair shake, and then I'm going to make a decision, and then you're all going to go off and do that.
That is something that never happened in 2016. Isn't it remarkable just to think of a Bobby Kennedy in a Republican administration?
Well, the other thing is, and again, what we didn't see in 2016 is, everybody understands that the president of the United States is, dude, the president of the United States.
And you're going to go in, you're going to have an opinion, you're going to have a view, but it's his agenda.
And he did not hire you to tell him how to be president.
He hired you to help him be president.
It's like what he always said at the rallies.
Bobby can do his stuff with health, make America health again, but that gold, that black gold under the earth, don't touch that Bobby.
So he can do it.
He can do it.
I'm still the president.
That's why Jim gets what 47 is going to be like.
Follow him right now at JJ Carafano.
We haven't even touched him on the Panama Canal, Greenland and the 51st state.
Heritage.org to join today.
Follow him at JJ Carafano.
Give us a follow as well on all the social media platforms.
No, wrong image.
That's not a social media platform.
That's a gold-plated AR-15.
That's for later.
Seb Gorka, Sebastian Gorka, also on the Salem Media app.
And don't forget my Substack for my original analyses.
Go to sebastiangorka.substack.com.
We'll be back with Jim after these messages. - It's not, it's not.
What's the, the, how are you things?
It's like, it's not that hard.
It's like this whole thing about Elon and Vivek, it's like, guys, do you understand there's only going to be one real decision maker?
Right, right.
For four years.
Right.
And so when people...
I mean, he empowers you.
Right, right.
On the big crap, I'm sorry.
People are like, how is Elon Musk going to impact Ukraine?
And my answer to that is, like, zero.
Because he didn't hire Elon Musk to tell him how to do Ukraine.
He didn't hire, you know, Bobby Kennedy to tell him how to do energy policy.
I mean, this is just...
I mean, is this very difficult to figure out?
It is.
I can't tell you.
I mean, you've had these discussions.
When I get, you know, the head of a...
A head of a European news agency say, is he going to leave NATO? And I say, dude, were you in a coma for four years?
I know, I know.
Are you a child?
But this is, this, by the way, We're on, right?
We should be on.
This is why people like George Stephanopoulos are truly evil.
It's not just that they're playing political warfare in the United States.
They're literally poisoning the entire planet.
And they know it's a lie.
And they know when they say this, there are people all around the world who are going to believe this.
Well, look, it's like there is nothing more wicked than what Brennan did.
Oh, absolutely.
If you're a liaison service, like you're the Lithuanian intelligence service, and you hear the former CIA director who's the president and agent of Russia, you're not going to work with us.
Or if you're walking in Moscow, you're going to say, oh, hang on, the president works for Putin?
And you still hear, like, nonsense like, you know, well, he just likes to make deals, right?
Or, you know, just, you know, compliment him and he'll do...
It's just like crazy nonsense.
Or he just listens to the last person that walks in the room and does what they say.
It's just like, give me a gun, let me shoot myself.
Thank God you don't actually have live firearms on this set sometimes, I tell you.
I just, it's just...
But I'm so glad the point you make is...
He drives me nuts.
He's so unpredictable.
Do you have a title for Boyle?
Opposite.
For Boyle?
Yeah.
Oh, my gosh.
And the thing is, you know, when I say, well, and when I'm wrong, As soon as he says, okay, I understand why he's doing something different than I would have done, but I'm not the President of the United States, but I understand why he's doing it.
And the other thing is, the things that are called crazy are disruptive actions for the benefit of America.
I'm going to stir the crap out of you.
My bun's bigger than yours.
Yeah, for Matt Boyle...
How about will Mike Johnson remain speaker?
Will Mike Johnson survive as speaker?
Then the pre-record?
Yeah, what did I have for that?
What to do about the deep state?
So the one thing people don't...
your portfolio is going to be the next hot thing.
Well, it's the only slide.
Mics are off, right?
We were on the senior directors meeting and like the deputy...
...the chief of the president.
The chief of the president of the U.S. Department of Justice is a very important part of the president.
The chief of the president of the U.S. Department of Justice is a very important part of the president's office.
Carr Firearms gets why the Second Amendment is the first civil right that makes all the others possible.
Check out their amazing line of weapons at kahr.com.
There's a reason I carry a car 9mm every single day.
Not only do they have the best personal defense weapons, they also have fun stuff like the Desert Eagle, the Deagle of Hollywood fame, and the auto-ordinance line of military, historic military weapons like the M1 Carbine, the venerable Tommy Gun, and the legendary 1911.
Check them all out at car.com.
That's K-A-H-R.com, K-A-H-R.com.
All right, we've dispelled so much garbage, so much fake news in the last eight minutes.
We're going to do it now with regards to the other stuff that's super fun.
Greenland, the Panama Canal, the 51st state, what Chris Plante calls America's hat.
Talk to us.
So we're going to play a game.
It's called Clue.
So here are your clues.
The border, Greenland, Canada, what do these all have in common?
And look at the appointments that Trump has made.
And you tell me because you're the smart guy.
This is the new Monroe Doctrine coming out.
And emphasis on sovereignty.
So if people don't understand the Monroe Doctrine, if they remember historically, so this is enunciated by President Monroe.
The purpose of the doctrine was to keep Not just other countries out of the hemisphere, but adversarial countries out of the hemisphere that were going to be destabilizing to not just the United States, but to free and open commerce and ideas across the hemisphere.
And I think some people associate it with the United States changing governments, but that's not what it was intended to do.
And I don't know what they call this, right?
But the only difference between the Monroe Doctrine and the Trump-Monroe Doctrine is The Monroe Doctrine was the United States imposing this.
The new Monroe Doctrine is the United States partnering with this.
It is not the United States telling everybody in the hemisphere we're going to do this, because there are all kinds of people in the hemisphere which are literally on their knees playing for Donald Trump to partner with them in kicking out adversarial power, whether it is...
Explain why the fact that both ends of the Panama Canal are run by Chinese interests is not a good thing.
Well, because, you know, we have seen, first of all, we have seen the Chinese cut down, shut off drone parts, shut off mineral content.
So who, you know that someday, giving them control over any, having a strategic dependency on China, which is an adversarial power of the United States, is wrong.
Right.
And we've seen what happened when a certain president, I won't name him, Joe Biden, literally allowed the Chinese and the Russians and the Iranians to shut down, essentially, passage through the Red Sea, except for Chinese.
So do you realize that today there are European countries paying a premium to have their goods shipped on Chinese ships because the Chinese ones are the only ones not getting attacked.
One, I don't know how the hell we could let that happen in the Red Sea, but the notion that that could happen in the Panama Canal, which it totally could happen in the Panama Canal.
Here's a scenario.
The Venezuelans were on the verge of invading Ghana to take their land away.
Here's the Chinese stepping in.
And shutting down traffic in the Panama Canal in sympathy with Venezuela.
Now, under Joe Biden, we would just—we'll just sail around, right?
But this is—this is Trump pre— Look, I don't know if he's going to take the Panama Canal or make Canada the 51st state or, you know— Buy Greenland.
Buy Greenland.
But here's what I will know is, President Trump is preemptively saying, playtime is over.
We are going to—we are not going to allow adversarial enemies to have strategic— A minute left.
Why is Greenland important?
You know, it's most—not because of—actually, I don't think you'll ever mind Greenland, to be honest with you.
If we're going to have a transatlantic community, that bridge goes from the United States to Greenland, to Iceland, to Europe.
It's been that way since the Vikings.
It's just like Taiwan.
Taiwan's not about— You know, microchips.
Taiwan's about geography.
If you lose Taiwan, you basically lose access to Asia because the Chinese control the island chain, right?
So if you lose Iceland and Greenland, you essentially no longer control transatlantic commerce to Western Europe, and that's not a good thing.
Guys, why do you think Portugal was so important to NATO? Look at a map.
It's called the Azores.
Look at how far planes could fly back in 1949. Not to mention the really great fish.
Indeed.
It's very important.
The fish is very important as well.
Geography is destiny.
One of the things I will be taking to my White House office is a globe.
Do you remember globes at school?
You know, like a map, but it's round.
It's important.
I'm Sebastian Gorka.

Okay, five seconds.
This is Second Amendment Friday on America First.
Brought to you by Carr Firearms.
*music* The freest nation on God's green earth.
A nation that is in part, large part, free because of the Second Amendment, the first civil right that makes all the others possible.
There is no company that understands that better and no CEO that understands it better than another than that of the Carr Firearms Group and Justin Moon.
They stand with us here at America First and are committed to the first civil right that makes all the others possible.
There's a reason I carry a 9mm car every single day.
Check out their amazing line of weapons at kahr.com, which also include the legendary Hollywood favorite, the Deagle, the Desert Eagle.
And the historic line of military weapons from the U.S. Armed Forces, including the M1 carbine, the Tommy gun and the venerable 1911 from the auto ordinance line.
And...
I'm super excited.
It's not just the Second Amendment car-sponsored segment this Friday.
We're going to be talking to the man himself, Justin Moon.
Merry Christmas.
Welcome back to America First.
Merry Christmas, Sebastian.
and it's great to see you again.
And congratulations on your appointment to the Trump administration.
Very kind, sir.
Very kind, very kind.
Before we close down the show or hand it over to my colleagues, we had to get you back.
First things first, I wanted to thank you personally.
I can still remember clearly where we were in Vegas at the short show where my friend A.W.R. Hawkins texted me while I'm on air and said, if I can get the CEO of car firearms to you, do you want to put him live on air?
And I said, dude, I'm on air right now.
If you can get him here in the next 15 minutes, okay.
And then he brought you over to the booth.
We got you on.
We connected.
And then miraculously became a sponsor of our Second Amendment segments every Friday.
And I just want to say thank you in front of three and a half million people.
Thank you, Justin Moon, for supporting us for all these years.
Oh, it's my pleasure.
You're a great patriot, and the country is well served to have you serving the country again.
Well, thank you kindly.
All right, let's talk about you.
Let's talk about the recent amazing Rod of Iron Festival you invited me and my wife to speak at, where you showed me lots of cool guns, especially a titanium-coated, gold-looking AR-15.
Absolutely delightful.
One of the main items in your incredible facility there in Pennsylvania.
But now...
It's still on the edge of full official release, but I couldn't get you on the show, given that we're just a few days away from my leaving for the White House, to discuss a product that has been in the planning for over a year with your amazing team at CAR, with Jody, with Luke, the custom gun maker.
Let's just show these images.
We could talk about how you can get one of these next week.
This is the MAGA The Magnum Desert Eagle.
Absolutely beautiful design.
I pitched this to you maybe two years ago.
It has the fight, fight, fight image from Butler, Pennsylvania.
It's got 45, 47 on it.
It's beautiful black and titanium nitride gold-looking finish.
And, of course, in 50 Action Express.
Tell us a little bit about why you thought, when I pitched this crazy idea, why you said, Yeah, Seb, let's do this.
Well, you know, Sebastian, MAGA is a movement and the whole country is behind it.
And, you know, we did that first 1911 with you and that was a huge sellout.
This MAGA Magnum, to tell you the truth, has basically already sold out.
What is it?
MAGA Magnum and President Trump, we get it.
Talk to us a little about, I mean, because you do these incredible self-defense weapons, one of which I carry, but what is it about the Desert Eagle that makes it probably the most famous firearm in the world today?
Well, it's the largest caliber semi-automatic pistol, which is regularly produced and, you know, works well.
And, you know, it's been in all of the Hollywood movies.
Everybody wants the biggest gun.
And the Desert Eagle is the biggest semi-automatic pistol.
And we have worked hard to make it relevant and continue to innovate the Desert Eagle.
And we've carried on that tradition since we've acquired this company since 2010. And I think it's a fantastic product.
What made you want to acquire that?
Because that's quite a thing to say.
You're going to do self-defense weapons.
You're going to do the historic stuff with auto-ordinance.
Why did you say, okay, we want to bring Desert Eagle under the car banner?
We already had auto-ordinance.
We bought auto-ordinance on the Tommy Gun in 1998, and that was such an iconic design.
One of the most recognized firearms designs in the world.
So we were in that niche.
We wanted to have a trade dressable product and something which is extremely well recognized.
And the Desert Eagle is one of those uniquely iconic pistols in the gun industry.
So when the opportunity came up to buy the Desert Eagle brand, I couldn't refuse.
All right.

I will be announcing imminently on my social media platforms where you can order your custom Luke headphones.
Hamilton customized.50 caliber MAGA Magnum.
So do not miss the announcement on my social media.
Seb Gorka, Sebastian Gorka everywhere.
Let me ask you the impolite question.
We talked to Justin Moon, the founder and the CEO of Car Firearms.
Is it bad for business when the good guys win elections?
What happens to gun purchases?
Well, you know, President Trump is, you know, is America right now, and we're so glad that he won because if we didn't get President Trump in, we'd be under Kamala communism right now.
So that would have been a very tragic thing.
And God bless the Jan 60s.
President Trump has said he's going to pardon them all.
So all of those people are patriots.
They love the country, and they should be free.
So what are you expecting?
What would your wish list be?
I've been trying to convince certain individuals to maybe throw their name into the hat for director of the ATF, but only an ATF director who would dismantle it.
Do you think that's the right thing to do with that aid?
Either dismantle the alcohol, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms, or turn it into some kind of superstore?
Well, I would be happy to fire everybody in the ATF if given the opportunity, but we know that's not going to happen.
It's just a joke.
But seriously, something has to be done about the fact that this agency in the past, I mean, we have the amazing Chevron deference ruling out of the Supreme Court that says agencies can't just magically legislate things by themselves.
So do you feel optimistic for the next four years under President Trump and under maybe a new directorship at the ATF? I think that chevron deference ruling gives President Trump an immense opportunity throughout the entire federal bureaucracy because now he can just get rid of the regulations and say to the bureaucrats, okay, you don't have a job because there's no more regulations to regulate.
Right.
So he has a chance to fire 50, 60, 80% of the federal government.
And I hope he takes full advantage of it.
Beautiful days ahead.
In the meantime, celebrate.

Thank you.
As soon as Jody's got a deal, we'll use this clip to promote it.
So just keep me posted and I think that's the perfect way to promote it.
And don't forget us, once this administration finishes, if you go back to radio, man, we'll be your sponsor.
Well, don't be a stranger if you're coming to D.C. in the next few years.
You got my number, all right?
Absolutely.
Thank you, my friend.
God bless.
Bless your brother.
Okay, will do.
Thank you.
They come in with three and I'm going to tee up nine for Jeff to comment on.
Copy that.
Thank you, sir.
See you at night.
Thank you.
All right, kill mics.
All right, kill kill mics.
Thank you.
That Khalif, not only does he have XY chromosomes, he has male levels of testosterone, no uterus, testicles, and word for word, a micropenis.
And so, what the Associated Press has done here, they nominated and awarded, this is the message I received, they nominated and awarded Khalif because he is a male.
His achievements aren't comparable with the other athletes who were nominated, and even ones who weren't nominated.
People, for example, like Sandy McLaughlin, who broke her own world record at the Games for the fifth time after a long injury break that kept her off the track.
And so the message I got was that he was nominated because he is a male and because they want to punish women for speaking out.
The AP nominated that man as one of the greatest athletes of the year as a female.
Jeff, call me crazy, but if you have a micropenis, you probably shouldn't be in the female sports category.
You would think so.
Okay, only better than that is this clip.
I need Jeff to react to Matthew Dowd.
Matthew Dowd, who is he, Jeff?
What did he do in the past?
He's a former chief strategist for Bush Cheney.
Ah, perfect.
Of course, that's why we should listen to him.
Cut nine.
I mean, I think what he's trying to do is try to corner Donald Trump and sort of box him in so he can do...
I think the Biden administration and the president is trying to prevent Donald Trump from doing as much damage as he possibly could do, which he could do a lot of becoming president.
But I think Joe Biden is trying to box him in on this.
So Matthew Dowd, Bush advisor, wants Biden to box in President Trump.
Jeff, remind me, in the last four years, who has Joe Biden boxed in?
Definitely not our enemies.
I know that.
Maybe a few of our allies.
I think he's boxed some of them in.
Let's talk about cardboard boxes.
Let's talk about French fry cartons and whether he could...
Do you think he could box some fries?
Okay.
Could Biden do what President Trump did at that McDonald's?
No, not even close.
Could you imagine him going to the Fry Station?
No, I would like to see him trying to talk to people through the window when it's not scripted, just saying normal things.
That would have been the best.
Or just even handing the bag through the window without dropping it.
Maybe that's what he can do in retirement.
Like, you know, the Walmart greeters, they're not paid.
I would like to watch that.
So let's go to the beginning.
Could he put on the apron?
No, no way they'd have to put it on for him.
There's no way he dresses himself.
Oh my gosh, stop it.
You're being mean.
Don't be mean.
I told my wife I'd be nice this year.
Okay.
We have Not Making Movies Great Again.
We're going to save that for next week.
We've invited Chris Coles back on to just talk about everything that's happened in the last year and what we can expect for the next four years.
It's going to be super exciting.
Don't go anywhere.

Here's how to do it.
I'm here in Texas, so I can save on my electricity.

Call and say, look, I'm considering changing and you can deal to keep me as a customer.
You're shocked.
About 80% of the time, they find a way to save money because they want to keep you as a customer.
But here's the problem most people make is they go spend money.
Thanks, sir.
Thanks, sir.
Thank you.
the White House, their reign is over.
Their reign will be over.
And they know it.
And America will be a free nation once again.
We're not a free nation right now.
We don't have free press.
We don't have free anything.
In 2016 I declared, I am your voice.
Today I add, I am your warrior.
I am your justice.
And for those who have been wronged and betrayed, I am your retribution.
I am your retribution.
That is going to be the theme for our next hour.
No movie reviews today.
We're going to do something a little bit different.
We're going to postpone the Muppet Christmas till next week.
Don't be sad.
We're going to do something just as fun, if not more fun.
We're going to review the year.
We're going to review the last four years.
And we're going to look into our crystal ball and predict the next four years.
And what it's going to be like to get America back under the 47th, who was the 45th President of the United States, with our good buddy.
We don't get enough of an opportunity to talk big picture stuff with him.
He's the host of the superlative Mr. Reagan USA channel on YouTube.
Chris Coles, Merry Christmas!
Oh, Merry Christmas, Seb.
It's fantastic to be here.
I can tell from the background that you are back in the U.S. of A. I need to know when you landed on the tarmac, like, blessed St. John Paul II, did you Chris the earth of the United States when you landed, Chris?
No, because I landed in Los Angeles.
But once I got up to Oregon, yeah, I did.
I definitely did.
You know, there is a smell to this state, the state of Oregon.
It's kind of Weird to explain it, but when you grow up here and you leave and you come back, there is a certain smell to Oregon.
What is it?
The pine leaves?
What is it?
Yeah, yeah.
It's like the fir trees and I don't know.
It's this unusual mix, but it just smells fresh and clean and nice.
It kind of smells like the rain a little bit.
And I got here and I just thought, wow, you know, America really is the greatest country on earth.
Well, you are such an incredibly well-traveled individual.
We don't know which continent we're going to be connecting with you when we talk to you.
Let's talk about that a little bit.
And also, I'm curious, given that you've spent since...
What is it?
We just did 76 movie reviews together on the show.
And I knew you before we did the movie reviews every week.
You've been traveling from Europe to Asia, around the planet...
Talk to us about the people you meet, firstly, and what they think of the United States.
Do they understand the United States?
And what are some of the misconceptions you've met in your travels across the planet?
Oh, so many misconceptions.
I will tell you this.
Something interesting.
Even Europeans are tending to start to understand the MAGA movement a little bit.
They're starting to get it finally.
It's permeating everywhere.
For some reason, Eastern Europeans got it first.
They started to get it first.
They liked Trump.
They understood his plain-spoken honesty, that he was not a politician.
They got it.
The West, Western Europe, they're very left-winged.
They didn't get it really at all.
For a long time.
But there is a certain level, as you know, of leftism that finally drives people to go, you know what?
This is nuts.
Maybe there is something to this Trump thing after all.
And so even people from like Germany and Sweden and places you wouldn't think are starting to come around and starting to go, you know what?
Yeah, actually, I kind of get it now.
I think a lot of people who secretly, you know, for a long time, I'm a Democrat or whatever it is.
They're starting to kind of secretly go, you know what, privately, I kind of agree with Trump.
I hate to say it, but yeah.
And actually, I think during this election cycle, Kamala Harris was so embarrassing.
Yeah, that many Americans finally just said, you know what, I can't in good conscience, I can't vote for her.
That's actually what I was trying to do with my parody video is to say, look, if you are a Kamala supporter, you should be embarrassed.
And I think people were and I think that really helped Donald Trump win.
And, you know, going around the world and talking to people from, you know, every nation on earth, practically, you know, going around.
I find that people basically everywhere are starting to get it.
And it's just...
I think it's the difference between the authenticity, right?
The phoniness of Kamala and the Democrats and the authenticity of Donald Trump.
I mentioned this yesterday on the show on Thursday, a great article in Breitbart by Kurt Zendelka.
And the headline was 2024, to your point, the year Trumpism triumphed and put globalists on the run in Europe.
What is...
How did it get to this point?
Because we look at the footage, Chris, from Notre Dame, what, three weeks ago?
And everybody, even Joe Biden, the royal family of the UK, are treating him as he's already the president and are grinning, are happy to see him.
Do you have a theory as to why the person that they called Hitler, Nazi, Mussolini for eight years...
Have they fatigued themselves out?
Have they surrendered?
Because I don't want to put this kind of, oh, the left has surrendered gloss on everything, but I look at the way I expected them to be marching on the streets after a Trump victory, and we've seen nothing, basically.
You know what?
Let me put it like this.
The jig is up.
I think everybody around the world, all the politicians, everybody who's in the know, they get it.
They know that Joe Biden is a puppet for much more powerful interests here in the United States and even abroad.
They understand that a lot of the money that's going to Ukraine is probably being stolen.
They know that when Hawaii tries to start a rail system and they don't finish it for 20 years and they spend billions of dollars on it.
Actually, in California, they did the same thing.
It's like, you know, look, don't forget Maisie Hirono, who wanted to have the rail connection from Hawaii to the mainland.
Don't forget Senator Hirono.
Did she say that?
Yes!
Of course she would.
She's the smartest woman, of course, obviously, in Congress.
Look, they get it.
They get that the American people have figured it out.
We've gone, you know what?
We're tired of the corruption.
We're tired of the lies.
We're tired of the gamesmanship.
And we're just going to vote for a businessman who's actually going to clean this stuff up.
Get rid of the swamp and actually try to make America great again and improve the quality of life of everyday Americans.
And so I think politicians have accepted it all over the world.
They've gone, you know what?
OK, I respect the American people because they voted the right guy in.
As much as the propaganda that we fed them, it didn't work, you know, and they figured it out.
The jig is up and we just kind of have to accept it.
And I love that.
How significant is it, I saw this chyron on Fox yesterday, that Dems are losing it, no vision, no leader.
How significant is it that there's not even a figurehead on the left?
Biden is burning everything down, and he's smiling and grinning when Donald Trump comes to the Oval.
Kamala is nowhere to be seen unless she's on videos from Hawaii looking at Absolutely drunk beyond belief.
Isn't it interesting that there's just no one to pick up the pieces on the other side, Chris?
You know what?
I was just talking to a friend of mine last night about this, and I think we're at a pivotal point right now where, yeah, the Democrat Party is lost, but they won't be lost forever.
You know, they've got some tricks up their sleeves still, and they'll try to regain their You know, some semblance of respect by the American people.
They'll try to call Trump a racist again, I'm sure, something like that.
But at the end of the day, you know, yeah, they're weak right now and they're struggling and they're off balance.
And here's what I think.
Trump is going to do some amazing things for this country in the next four years.
And we'll get to this a little bit later.
But to me, it's not just about what is done.
is done is communicated to the American people.
Yes, yes.
Because I think we have an opportunity now not only to do great things, but to change the perspective of Americans to say, you know what, this is really the future.
This is how things should be done.
We should improve the lives of everyday Americans in common sense ways.
And that's all about communication.
So I think there's two halves to this.
There's the actual doing, which is the hard stuff, but then there's the communication, which I think Republicans have been traditionally poor at and Democrats have been traditionally great at, and I think we need to up our game in that department here as well.
I've been saying it for years.
I've been living in this stinking cesspit in the capital for 16 years.
And it's a sad reality that maybe 51% of what you do here, maybe more than half, is actually the packaging and the communication.
You've got to do the right thing, but you've got to sell it.
And I think it's fascinating that almost everyone President Trump has picked is a great communicator.
And not only do they know what they need to do, but they know how to communicate it to the American people.

I'm a little bit too close to the fire.
I am a presidential nominee, so I'm super excited.
I'm planning what I'm going to be doing in the White House.
I want to ask somebody who's outside of the process, but who is a provider of incredibly trenchant and really incisive political and cultural commentary.
Chris, I don't want to speak for the president.
I don't want to speak for anybody except myself.
But I think...
Starting January 20th, things are going to be very, very different.
I look at who he's chosen.
I look at what he's already achieved since the election.
And I just think it's going to be not on steroids.
It's going to be Trump 1.0 at hyperspeed, you know, when the stars turn into straight lines in Star Wars or What is your expectation as somebody who's commenting on all of the MAGA America First things from the outside?
Yeah, from the outside, that is exactly what it looks like.
It looks like the ducks are being set up in their row so that once Trump takes office, everything can just happen kind of instantaneously.
It's almost like We're good to go.
And so you're at speed very, very quickly.
You said that everybody he picked was a great communicator.
I think that is absolutely critical to get the word out.
I think Trump's administration does want that transparency that every administration says it wants.
I think Trump really does want that.
And Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy have said that they're going to have weekly updates on what they're doing with the Doge thing, which is fantastic.
But not only have they picked people who are great communicators, they've picked Trump loyalists, and that's something that I've been saying for years.
Trump absolutely needs the most loyal people.
I even made a video talking about how you should be press secretary.
You weren't press secretary, but you've got, I think, an even better position.
You are absolutely 100 percent – and I know for a fact because I know you personally – 100 percent loyal to the president.
You will do the right thing.
You will be there in office.
You're not going to leak.
And that's the thing.
I think Trump got a bunch of guys like Sebastian Gorka, a bunch of guys he knows he can trust.
They're not going to leak like the first time in 2016. Remember, he had a bunch of people he couldn't trust in there.
And I think that's critical to just being confident that you're going to get the things done that you want to get done.
And I think we're going to have a lot of stuff get done here.
Let's talk about the leaking and what happened in the first Trump administration.
I was driving to work yesterday with Katie and she said something fascinating.
She was a presidential appointee at the Department of Homeland Security and one of her colleagues was the seditionist Miles Taylor who whilst being a presidential appointee at the Department of Homeland Security wrote the quote anonymous article attacking the president in the New York Times and Katie was doing some research and on Miles Taylor's LinkedIn profile Chris He actually lists his award for
merit received while he was in the Trump administration, while he was leaking and doing anonymous things to undermine the Trump administration.
And Katie said, you know what?
When the boss returns, things like that have to be dealt with.
There should be an official governmental retraction of that person's award as an appointee for meritocracy as he was sabotaging the Trump administration.
For her, it's very personal because she was a colleague of that individual.
But don't you think the American people or just the sense of universal justice demands that it's not just about the next four years, but also, how should I say this, fixing the copybook of the first administration?
No, as usual, you're a very lucky man.
You've got a very brilliant wife there.
A lot of us have said for quite a long time, it's not about retribution, this idea, because it's not just this guy.
There's so many traitors in the federal government, so many corrupt officials, so many dirty politicians.
You saw what happened with Senator Bob Menendez.
There's actually several examples of this.
Everybody knows what happened with Joe Biden in Ukraine and China and various other countries.
We do need to prosecute these people.
But it's not because we hate them.
It's not because they went after Trump.
It's not revenge.
The reason we have to prosecute these people is because there are others like them that we don't know about.
And there are other people that are going to come along and try to do the same things.
And if there is no consequences to these criminal acts, what's going to deter anyone from doing it in the future?
So you need to bring back law and order to Washington DC and that's why we all really, really want These prosecutions to go forward, these investigations, because I do think there's a lot of corruption in Washington, D.C., and we really do have to stop it from ever happening again.
And your reaction to this idea that's being, not officially, but it's being floated, that individuals like Mark Milley need to be reactivated and need to stand in front of a military tribunal, a court-martial, for what they did to undermine the writ of 64 million Americans and the commander-in-chief.
Is America ready for that kind of justice, Chris?
No, probably not, but sometimes you need something that you're not ready for.
I also think that people aren't ready to actually see deportations.
But at the end of the day, deportations need to happen of illegal immigrants.
I think that we're a little too soft as a nation, and you need these deterrents.
You have to deter crime in America in order to stop crime from happening again, right?
It's...
I think...
This is my suggestion.
I don't know if anybody would go for this, but this is my suggestion.
You say any...
This is how you target illegal immigrants, right?
Of course we want to target the criminals first.
But this is what I say.
If anyone commits a crime...
In America, and they're an illegal immigrant, we don't just deport them.
We deport your entire family.
Everyone you're related to.
Your mom, your dad, your brothers, your sisters, your kids, your cousins, whatever it is.
Anyone who's related to you, we deport everyone.
If they're in America illegally, we deport your whole family.
You know what that's going to do?
That's going to stop illegal immigrants.
Some of them just might leave of their own volition, but a lot of them who have criminal tendencies, they're going to think twice.
Because it's not just them that's going to be deported, it's their mother.
And so, to me, that sounds cruel, but I think that's what we've got to start doing.
We have to start being a little bit more tough.
And we have the right people, from President Trump to Tom Holm to Kash Patel to Pam Bondi.
It's going to be the A-Team.

One word.
SebastianGorka.Substack.com Alright, we've talked about what to expect with President Trump.
We've talked about whether America is ready or not.
Let's talk about the mainstream media.
This is a headline for the Daily Mail yesterday, Chris.
This is just...
You think it's the Babylon Bee, but it's not.
CNN journalists offer brutal assessment of why their network is failing.
CNN's stubbornly leftist journalists think they know why their viewers are abandoning ship in record numbers.
You ready, Chris?
They're not going hard enough against Donald Trump anymore.
Insiders claim a decision to hold a town hall with the president-elect back in May upset staff and viewers, as did their decision not to fact-check Trump during his debate earlier this year.
Quote...
It is widely felt at CNN that we didn't miss the mark, one journalist said, who requested to remain anonymous.
Okay, so, Chris, they were too nice to President Trump.
That's why nobody's watching them.
I mean, this is delicious, isn't it?
Well, I'll tell you what, they kind of have a point in the sense that I think MSNBC might be doing better than CNN at this point.
If you want to tailor your...
most delusional, gullible Americans, then sure, you're going to get some viewers, of course.
MSNBC is going to inevitably do OK, even though they're tanking as well.
But I think CNN is, in fact, taking the right tack.
They're just having little growing pains at the moment trying to transition to a network that once again tells the truth.
Will they actually do that?
Will they actually fully transition to a network that tells the truth?
I highly doubt it.
But it seems like there is a debate there at CNN as to whether they really want to do that.
I've heard many times people from CNN say...
We want to become a hard news network again.
I really hope that they do because it's needed.
We need that kind of variety because not everybody is going to watch Fox News or Newsmax.
Certainly just people who really understand and they're not afraid of conservative content, something that the left is obviously afraid of.
They do need a safe haven where they can get real news.
And I think CNN could be that.
I think they could actually do reasonably well.
But only after Musk buys them, right?
Yeah, probably.
Look, at the end of the day, the left also needs the truth told to them, whether they like it or not.
And the problem is they don't like it very much.
So, yeah, CNN, if they're going to try to tell the truth, their viewers are leftists.
It's going to be a tough, tough trip, but hopefully they can they can do it.
But what do you expect?
Because you watch the media so closely.
Are they just going to...
Save themselves by bashing President Trump for the next four years and trying to win back some of the TDS crowd?
Or are they finally going to face market forces and just lose money and just crumble?
Which scenario is more likely?
You know, I do think it's very difficult for a tiger to change its stripes, as they say, right?
So I really do hope that Some of these networks, whether it be ABC, CBS, NBC, or CNN, I do hope that they start to see the writing on the wall and they say, you know what?
We've got to start supporting our president.
We've got to start telling the truth.
But I really have a hard time believing that they can do it.
I think there's so many hard left lunatics in these organizations that That they're never going to quite get there.
And yeah, probably CNN will eventually either go bankrupt or be sold off or something.
I don't know what it's going to become, but it's going to be interesting to find out for sure.
The true test of someone's character is how they behave under fire.
And we had one president who couldn't climb a flight of stairs.
And another who was fist pumping after getting shot.
Fight!
Blood coming down the face!
Now, America is the home of the brave.
And there's no truer test than courage under fire.
So, who do you want representing America?
I love that cut, not simply because it reminds me of being there, sitting right behind Elon before he got up on the stage at the second Butler rally, where President Trump went back to the scene of the crime.
Truly stunning.
But just what I experienced there, which I will be sharing with you in a moment.
The mainstream lying legacy media, the establishment are trying to drive a wedge between President Trump and Elon Musk.
I think both of them are probably laughing into their, you know, popcorn when they read these stories.
But I don't think enough column entries or enough, you know, video is being dedicated to this issue, this question or this phenomena of Elon, of Vivek, because It's not quite as large as, for the first time ever, making a businessman our president.
But it's significant that these people are coming in to this new department that has promised to slash trillions of government waste.
And beyond that, and this is where I'm really curious, you know, your cultural observation.
We're at Butler.
And I'm in the row behind J.D. Vance, and I didn't realize sitting next to him was Elon.
I just saw this guy in a bullcap.
And the president is speaking, and then this wave starts behind us.
This chart, right?
And this is rural Pennsylvania of Elon, Elon.
And I'm thinking, hang on, this is really interesting.
And then he gets up on stage.
He turns around.
I realize it's him in front of me.
He gives this speech.
He does the fight, fight, fight, everything else.
Looks like a giddy schoolboy.
But help me...
Navigate what you think the cultural and then the political significance is of the fact that an immigrant from Africa who's a tech billionaire is being chanted at by young men in America and he's the right hand of the incoming president.
I'm sorry, this is big and I don't think most people get it.
Yeah, I do think the left kind of gets it actually because they are freaking out.
They don't get, you know, they don't really understand why Elon left the left, right?
They're just like, why did you leave us?
And they get that he's very powerful.
What's interesting, you play that clip, Elon Musk is not the best public speaker.
You know, he's not sort of smooth and slick like the Like the Democrat politicians or the people on CNN or MSNBC. Or Vivek.
Vivek is really polished.
Vivek is polished.
Vivek is...
Honestly, I'm a little bit envious of Vivek because I'll say something, Vivek will say the same thing, and I'm like...
He said it better.
And it annoys me always.
But, you know, even Donald Trump.
Donald Trump isn't the best speaker.
You know, we think that he's a great communicator like Reagan, but he's not exactly the same because Reagan was an actor.
You know, he had that patter down.
He knew exactly how to speak to an audience.
Yes.
Donald Trump is very divisive.
And I think part of it is that leftists don't really understand what Trump is trying to say.
I think conservatives do understand him.
Somebody once said, you've got to take Trump seriously, but don't take him literally.
Right.
And the left took him literally, but didn't take him seriously.
That's exactly it.
And what's interesting is, you've got these two guys that maybe they're not the best communicators in a traditional sense.
But they say the right things.
And you know what the right thing is?
It's the truth.
You know, smooth-talking leftists like Gavin Newsom.
You know, nobody likes Gavin Newsom.
But, you know, 20, 30 years ago, Gavin Newsom would have been the kind of guy that would have gotten elected to president because he speaks well.
You know, and I think people are past that now.
People are past the Obama pattern where they go, oh, that guy speaks really, really well.
I think people have figured out just because you speak well, it doesn't mean you're smart.
It doesn't mean you have the best interest of Americans at heart.
But Donald Trump seems to, and Elon Musk seems to, and they seem to have a plan to make America great again.
Can I just embroider on that just one stitch?
It's not just, and you're right, that's all right, but it's not just that they're...
They're telling the truth and not necessarily slick like Obama because telling the truth isn't enough because you can tell the truth and be super boring.
It's telling the truth in such an incredibly energetic fashion, right?
I mean, President Trump, none of it is faked.
None of it is faked.
And you look at Elon, and he is like a giddy schoolboy.
He is so energized by saving America or going to Mars or whatever.
So I would say it's the truth plus the passion, Chris.
Enthusiasm, passion and humor.
They're both very funny.
Yes.
And I think to be funny, you have to be a high IQ person.
And I think both Donald Trump and Elon Musk are very, very intelligent.
I don't think people really give Donald Trump the credit he deserves for being such a high IQ person.
He's a very intelligent man.
And these two guys are hilarious.
And that entertainment value alone, I think, is worth, you know, everything.
I love when cretins like Cenk Uygur say, yeah, he's stupid.
Right.
Because a lot of people become billionaires and then become president twice.
Yeah, right, Cenk Uygur.
But you're right.
It's not just the passion, the enthusiasm and the truth content.
It's the humor as well.
That's why he's Chris Coles.

We're going to win at every level.
We're going to win economically.
We're going to win with the economy.
We're going to win with military.
We're going to win with healthcare and for our veterans.
We're going to win with every single facet.
We're going to win so much.
You may even get tired of winning and you'll say, please, please.
It's too much winning.
We can't take it anymore.
Mr. President, it's too much.
And I'll say, no, it isn't.
We have to keep winning.
We have to win more.
We're going to win more.
We're going to win so much.
To your point, Chris, you can't fake that.
That line when he says, you're going to say it's too much winning, and I'm going to say we have to win more.
Can we just...
I don't think we're celebrating enough.
It's six weeks behind us, I know.
But seriously, don't we just have to be happy?
This is the political, cultural story of the age, is it not?
President Trump's victory?
Oh, absolutely.
I mean, this is...
Actually, we talked about Elon Musk in the last segment.
Elon Musk said it best.
He said, you know, if we don't win this...
We lose America.
We lose America.
It was really critical.
I've got a video coming out about how we dodged a bullet.
We dodged a bullet, you know, literally with Donald Trump dodging a bullet.
But figuratively as well, I do think that we would have gone down a horrible authoritarian road had Kamala Harris become the president.
And we were all worried about that because we weren't sure exactly how legitimate the vote was going to be.
But, you know, thank God it turned out the way that it did.
And yeah, you know, it is such a happy time right now.
I think I see even leftists kind of, you know, sighing with relief, like, whoo, you know.
And, you know, to your point from the beginning of the show tonight, yeah, the left is off balance right now.
They're off kilter.
You know what I see happening in the next two years, probably not even four years, but the next two years?
I see the Democrat Party kind of being crushed now.
Actually, I see them being stomped into dust because it's really not just – like I say, it's not just about what Trump is going to do.
It's about how he's going to communicate what he's done.
And I think, like you said, he has so many great communicators in this administration.
Right.
They're going to realize, yeah, this is the way forward.
And I think the Democrat Party is just going to die.
If anything, maybe it'll turn into more of a libertarian party because I think the libertarians and the conservatives, they don't always see eye to eye on everything.
And they could very well become that other party.
They could maybe take over the Democrat Party.
Maybe that'll happen.
But I don't see the Democrat Party coming back anytime soon.
If we communicate what we're doing correctly, I think they die off.
And on that extra Christmas present, the Democrat Party is going to die.
We will return to making movies great again next Friday.
