Thank you.
I believe in giving honor where honor is due, and all of us do well to honor our spouses.
My wife happens to be here this time.
She didn't make it last time.
It happened a little sudden.
Kelly, would you stand up up here in the gallery?
Larry, thank you.
And we have our four children here, Hannah, Abby, Jack, and Will.
We all stand up just really quickly.
Come on.
I wanted to do that.
All of us recognize that there are no perks to being a congressman's kid, right?
It's all sacrifice.
And our spouse is put up with so much, endless hours and travel and all the responsibilities upon us.
And we're good to remind them how important they are to us and how we could not do the job without them.
And so it's appropriate for all of us to do that.
Thank you.
Thank you, guys.
This is a momentous time in the history of our nation.
It really is.
And as members of the 119th Congress, we are stewards of the great American Revolution that began almost exactly now, 250 years ago, 1775 and 1776. It will fall at the time of this Congress, the great anniversary.
And in these two and a half centuries, we've been reminded repeatedly that freedom is never free.
And we have stood tall.
As the greatest nation on the face of the earth, it is without debate.
We are the freest, the most powerful, most benevolent nation that has ever been in the history of the world.
And it's not by happenstance.
We are the ones who settled the West.
We are the ones who ended slavery, who laid the transcontinental railroad, who gave women the right to vote, who won two world wars, who landed on the moon, and who won the Cold War.
Throughout our history, we have done what no one thought was possible.
And still, at 250 years old, our nation is actually a young nation.
This past fall, I had an opportunity to go to the G7 Speakers Meeting.
It was held in Italy.
It's the only international trip I took as speaker over the last 14 months because I didn't have time to do it.
But it was a quick three-day jaunt.
And met with my colleagues, the speakers of the other parliaments, the great governments around the world.
And we talked about that, how really special America is, how unique we are in our place on the globe, and how important it is for us to maintain that.
And as I talked to these colleagues from around the world, I thought, our closest allies, you know, who recognize how important we are, how important this body, this house is, I thought about how is it that such a young country has become so exceptional, so singular in its importance.
That today stands as the world's leader in liberty.
Whoa, what's happening to the phone lines?
It's insanity.
I haven't even started the show yet.
They're all full.
Every single line.
Oh, my gosh.
We might have to take some calls today.
Happy Friday.
Is it weird?
It doesn't fit.
Eric, are you sure it's a Friday?
I'm a little confused.
Yeah, that holiday in the smack dab of the middle of the week kind of threw off all of our weekly clocks.
And nobody's working.
I was in the White House today.
I was checking out my new job, meeting with the Biden Senior Director for Counterterrorism.
Now, that was an interesting meeting.
Don't know how much I can share with you guys, but it's good to be back, back in the White House this morning.
And no, it was very quiet.
The executive office building of the White House and the National Security Council was very quiet and people didn't look too happy there today.
And we played speaker.
Mike Johnson, because Congress is back in session.
And the first thing, I didn't even know this, every new session of Congress, they have to elect, they have to vote for a speaker.
And he just squeaked in 218 to 215, despite Massey et al.
He is the new, or the old, and the new Speaker of the House, Mike Johnson.
So I just tweeted out, let's roll, America first.
Maybe I should temper my enthusiasm right now.
Mr. G is fielding calls.
As soon as he has fielded the call he is on, I will request that he put on his headset, look like Coach Harbaugh that he is, and I need to get his take because I'm a little bit excited because I think at least, you know, the president's got a speaker now.
Is this a big deal or not, Mr. G? I'm glad he got in.
Nobody else would have gotten in.
And honestly, what Mike Johnson does under Trump.
And I think a lot of people were mad at him because Johnson isn't the biggest fighter.
And Trump is in.
Trump can do the fighting for him.
He's not going to put the resistance up that the swamp would do.
He's not going to be a big fighter, but you don't need that right now.
All right.
So I'm going to tell you something, Jeff, right now that was told to me.
I'm not going to divulge too much.
Somebody who I met with this morning.
He knows a lot about Congress and he said the following and I'm curious what you think of this.
He said a lot of the people who are congressmen and women right now were not congressmen and women.
When President Trump was in the White House and they have no idea what it means to have the letter R after your name and to have Donald Trump as president call you from the Oval Office.
And they might be in for a bit of a shock on January the 20th.
What do you think of that?
I saw the number.
It's almost like I think it's 38 percent weren't there, which is a big number.
And I also I think Johnson, I don't like a lot of politicians, you know that?
I do think he's a good guy.
I do think he'll do the right things.
I think he's a good guy, but I think the point you make that President Trump is going to do the fighting for him, I think that's what we're going to see, right?
Yes, and I don't think he'll try to sabotage him.
Oh, yes.
Unlike McCarthy.
Unlike, you've got a lot of time for me to list a lot of Republicans that would.
Your favorite Republican.
You love the Republican establishment, don't you, Jeff?
They're my best.
They're your favorite.
Who's your favorite?
Is it Larry Hogan?
Oh, no, it's Chip Roy.
Oh, Chip Roy!
Look, people are going to go mad, maybe on Rumble as well.
What are the things Chip Roy has done in the past that make him, how shall we say this, anti-MAGA? After January 6th on the floor, let's start with that, the president led impeachable actions.
That's what he said.
Chip Roy said impeachable actions.
Yes, Paxton, one of the...
Yes, Ken Paxton.
Probably the best AG in the country.
He helped lead the impeachment.
There's a long post against him.
He needed to be impeached from Texas.
And he attacked Ken Paxton, and I didn't even know this, after you told me that Chip Roy had worked for Paxton.
Yes, and he also lobbied Paxton when he was trying to sue to go to the Supreme Court over the election in 2020, Trump's election.
He tried to stop that as well.
That's about three of the 20 things I could give you.
Eric, you're a radical.
It comes to MAGA. Good news, bad news.
Is President Trump now in control of Congress?
I think absolutely.
Again, I feel better about Johnson than any of the previous speakers like McCarthy or Ryan or Boehner.
I will always point back to this.
I will never forget.
When Johnson was first elected, he came out of nowhere.
No one had even heard of Mike Johnson before he suddenly became Speaker after McCarthy was thrown out.
But I remember the mainstream media running wild with headlines saying, he's far right!
He's a Christian nationalist!
I took one look at those and I was like, sounds good to me.
And now?
That we have him, the MAGA agenda, pretty safe on Capitol Hill, Eric.
What do you think?
I absolutely think so.
We can't forget that quite a few of the biggest anti-MAGA people were all primaried out, like most of the ones who voted to impeach Trump.
And, of course, President Trump did call for a primary challenge against Mr. Chip Roy.
And I had to throw in one other thing that I remember why Chip Roy is very anti-MAGA. He was one of the very first Republicans in Congress to endorse...
The high-heeled, booted governor of Florida over Trump in the primary.
Oh, that's when I said Chip Roy is a fake.
That's the moment when he went full, full DeSantis.
Yeah, thank you.
This is why we have the best team in radio who will be working for somebody else.
Very soon, in the early hours, I can't wait for Chris Stegall coming on nationally, 9-3, 6-3, my gosh, that's early, as Hugh Hewitt takes my shift, the afternoon shift, starting on Tuesday.
This is my penultimate show.
It has nothing to do with pens.
I have one show, this show, Friday.
And then Monday with you, and then we're just going to wait for the inauguration.
Don't go anywhere, Judy, Dave, Antoinette, John, and the rest of you.
We will take your calls after our first guest.
He's going to be on for one segment, so then you can call in 833-333-Gawker, 833-334-6752.
Don't go anywhere if you're on the line right now.
And if you want to make sure you have access to all our back catalogs, six years of my interviews, go right now to the podcast platform of your choice.
Plug in my name, leave us a five-star review, share the links with your friends, and then get ready for the inauguration by checking all the America First gear at sebgorkestore.com.
Okay.
Okay.
Alrighty.
Mic's hot.
Did you see who played at Mar-a-Lago on New Year's Eve?
No, who was it?
It was the Village People.
Oh my goodness.
They played YMCA. The main guy put out a statement basically saying he supports Trump using the song.
Yeah, that was after his song hit the top of iTunes.
I just sent you another Chip Roy favorite.
Oh, let's have a look.
Just read the headline.
Chip Roy.
Remove Cheney?
No, he rejected calls to remove Liz Cheney.
Oh, reject?
Oh, my gosh.
Uh-oh.
Wow.
Oh, no.
Wow.
He looks a little like Ray Epps.
Maybe he was Ray Epps.
He does.
He does.
Like a skinnier Ray Epps.
Maybe that's his brother.
Oh, dear.
I have a friend who works for Chip Roy.
He's going to hate it when he sees this segment.
Make it a Vimeo and send it to him.
Mr. Texas Congressman from Bethesda.
Well, he's connected.
Want the mics off?
Yeah.
Okay.
Thank you.
And at the end of the day, this is my theory, and I'm going to be right 80% of the time, these people have some kind of sexual follow-up.
I think that most of them are incels.
I'll be wrong 20%.
I'll say that, but I'm not going to be wrong much more than that.
Let's dig into it.
Ah, that font of counterterrorism expertise that is James Carville.
Jeff, is that guy, like, just, is he mentally just fried?
I have no idea where he gets that from.
You're also talking about a guy.
The New Orleans guy was married three times.
The other one was married twice.
So they're not incels.
They're not involuntary celibates.
And the second marriage broke up because he was cheating.
Carville, just an incredible, incredible individual who always looks like a hobo.
Do your part to support the conservative movement.
We've got a speaker now.
Let's celebrate.
Stop sending the left your money!
If you've got a cell phone connected to the big three, that's exactly what you're doing.
There's only one Christian conservative cell phone company in the nation.
It's the one I use.
It's Patriot Mobile.
They don't give millions of dollars to Planned Parenthood or to foundations who are censoring and trying to cancel conservatives.
Switch today to the best in the business that has donated millions of dollars to causes you believe in.
The First Amendment, the Second Amendment, and the sanctity of the unborn.
Keep your old number, keep your old phone, we'll get an upgrade, but switch today.
The first month is on me for free.
It's as easy as dialing 972-PATRIOT. Go to patriotmobile.com slash Gorka.
I bumped into him at a rather deliquentescent Christmas celebration recently.
Before that, I think it was...
Where was it?
Was it at the convention in Milwaukee or CPAC? I don't know.
The guy's everywhere.
He's the managing editor of the Superlative Daily Signal and the author of a brand-new book called Woketopus, The Dark Money Cabal Manipulating the Federal Government.
Tyrone Neal, Happy New Year!
Happy New Year, and Happy New Year especially to you, Seb, especially with the incoming administration.
Thank you kindly.
Lots of work to do.
We'll have National Security Advisor nominee Mike Waltz on the show at the top of the next hour.
My future boss, the guy right next to the president, will be with us, the first Green Beret in Congress, so don't miss it.
Okay, so basically, I look at the table of contents for your book.
It's about dark money, the federal takeover of our elections, the green revolving door.
I love this chapter.
The transgender administrative state, which is almost as good as the immigration industrial complex.
So this sounds like you've basically written the Rosetta Stone on the deep state and the woke industrial complex, Tyler.
Yes, I mean, I'd love to think so.
There's a lot more to be uncovered than I uncovered.
But what I showed here...
We're talking about George Soros' son, Alex, who now runs Open Society Foundations.
We're talking about Kessler, who created Arabella Advisors, which is a for-profit company that has a whole bunch of non-profits by which these donors can funnel money to their preferred woke causes.
Without fingerprints attached.
And they're propping up a system of woke nonprofits that advise and staff the federal bureaucracy.
And right now, as Trump is about to come in, a lot of these woke bureaucrats are jumping ship.
But some of them are actually changing their job titles so they can hide, burrow in, and be that deep state opposing the people's elected president when he enters office in January.
Okay, so this is something when you open this Pandora's box, you're kind of like horrified.
My wife Katie, your former colleague at Heritage, she spent a year with Mike Gonzalez writing the book on next-gen Marxism.
And when you scratch the surface, Of how much money we're talking about and what it's being used as.
Just Arabella Associates alone or just Mark Zuckerberg, one guy dropping a cool $420 million on the elections in 2020 to try and privatize those elections.
Or quote-unquote, what do they call stealing elections?
Fortifying the elections.
When you start looking at Tyler, it is billions of dollars.
It is...
It's a huge...
Threat to the integrity of the republic, is it not?
It really is.
I mean, the funny thing is, it is legal for you to donate money to causes that you believe in.
But the way that they're doing it, this setup, is particularly designed to cloak where the money comes from.
And you have donors like Hans-Jörg Wies.
The Swiss guy, right?
Yeah, exactly.
A Swiss billionaire who now lives in the United States and has openly spoken in—his sister wrote a book about him.
And in that book, she said, oh, look, he said he wants to change American politics.
It's like, so why aren't you an American citizen?
Why didn't you go through the naturalization process?
He's lived here for so long, and yet now he's— Sloshing his money around.
And some of these groups are really well established.
You have the Human Rights Campaign, which acts like an LGBTQ mafia to force companies to do things that are really bad for their bottom line.
If you look at Target and Bud Light, they were effectively shamed into destroying their own brands.
Because of the power of this organization.
And I went through, you know, the Human Rights Campaign released a blueprint of all the policies they wanted the federal government to do in the new Biden administration.
And I went through on the checklist and I'm pretty sure I found at least 75% of what Human Rights Campaign told Biden to do.
He essentially said, How high do I need to jump?
All right, so we've only got a couple of minutes left.
The book Everybody Needs to Get, the book Woketopus, The Dark Money Cabal Manipulating the Federal Government.
How do we kill the woketopus?
We've got, what is it, Chairman Stile, who is looking into Act Blue and potential illegal smurfing and bundling of billions for the Democrat Party.
Is it a state-by-state legislative action?
How do we have politics?
Yeah, so I have three ideas of what Congress can do specifically to weaken the woke industrial complex in the federal government.
One of them is to go after the public sector unions.
Even Franklin Delano Roosevelt, the guy who essentially created our woke bureaucratic state.
And, of course, Woodrow Wilson had a bunch of it before.
But even FDR said we should never have public sector unions.
The idea of somebody using taxpayer dollars to advocate for them getting more taxpayer dollars, which is the perverse system known as official time, we need to get rid of that.
And that's something that Congress really needs to do.
Another one of them is...
To get rid of the special privileges that some of the agencies like the CFPB have.
I mean, Elizabeth Warren essentially created this funding scheme to keep this agency from being held accountable.
One last thing.
We've got 20 seconds left.
What's the third thing?
One of the big things that they need to do, and this is something that Ohio recently did, was get foreign money out of ballot initiatives.
And that's a big issue.
Oh, huge, huge.
Or at least we've got a diagnosis and an action plan.
Find out more, DailySignal.com.
The Woketopus is the book.
And follow our friend.
Happy New Year, Tyler O'Neill, at Tyler, the number two O'Neill on Twitter.
And don't forget to give me a follow as well.
It may be my penultimate show, but I'm not going to disappear.
Seb Gorka, Sebastian Gorka, all the usual platforms, and my Substack, sebastiongorka.substack.com.
Yes.
I'll text you.
A mailing address.
Awesome.
Good.
That was great.
I'm looking forward to it.
How long did it take you to write?
I think I wrote it in three months.
Wow.
I was planning to get it out before the election, and then we actually got a legal threat on a somewhat related story, not that I had done, but my boss was like, all right, you need to reach out to every single group that you name in the book, and I was like, All right.
And of course, enough of them gave me comments that it delayed the process of publication.
Got it.
But I think having it come out right after Trump's inauguration, it should make a good splash.
Well done, buddy.
Hey, thanks again so much for having me on your penultimate show.
I'm honored.
Well, we made a promise.
We keep our promises.
Have a good one, buddy.
Say hi to everyone at The Signal.
Yeah.
Will do.
God bless.
Bye-bye.
Got a super chat here.
Jules15 for $20.
Thank you, AF crew, for being so great and keeping us informed.
You all will be missed.
Dr. G, I am very grateful you are resuming your posts at Trump's side in 17 days.
Love it.
Thank you, Jules.
Big support.
See a title for that, and also for Mike, and for the secretary.
Has Sean ever, Ryan, ever, like, overhyped something?
Yeah, totally.
Oh, could you see what he's put on Twitter?
No.
My family and I are disappearing for a few days, and he says the episode we're about to release will blow your minds.
Yeah, he's become more and more crackers.
That last one he had on was just...
I could smell the BS. Who?
Was it the CIA one?
The blonde?
Yeah.
Crackers.
All righty.
Pillow at the top here?
Yeah.
All righty.
She was basically saying that there's...
Like, planning an October 7th attack here.
Who said what?
That was the woman that he owned, the blonde CIA. She was basically saying, like, an October 7th attack is going to be here.
Yeah, exactly.
Exactamundo.
Uh...
He played seven.
Coming with five.
Five.
Coming with five.
One minute.
Welcome to the Allstate Sugar Bowl.
Wednesday, tragedy struck the New Orleans community.
Our prayers are with the victims and their families.
We also need to be stronger together by overcoming an addiction to divisiveness and negativity.
Join Allstate working in local communities all across America to amplify the positive, increase trust, and accept people's imperfections and differences.
Together, we win.
Jeff, what is that garbage?
What on earth is that crap?
That's the Allstate CEO who played yesterday afternoon at the Sugar Bowl, the game that was postponed in New Orleans.
So if we are nice to terrorists, they won't kill us?
Yeah, and I would love to know how many times they drafted that, too, of what was the right thing to say.
That guy's not taking the piss, is he?
That's not a joke.
No.
I'm speechless.
I'm just going to say thank you to Mike Lindell, and he's always going to be a friend.
Support him, even when I'm not in this chair.
Go to MyPillow.com, use my name for up to two-thirds off and free shipping.
Call them up, 800-829-8468.
Buy American.
Imagine what would happen if we all bought American.
Wow.
Let's make America great again.
By buying American!
MyPillow.com, promo code G-O-R-K. Hey, let's go to your calls.
Let's go to Dave in Arizona.
Thank you, Dr. Gorka.
Ultra MAGA, we did it dittos again, sir.
I just wanted to share with you my appreciation for all that you've done for our republic.
You've entertained my calls the last five years.
And I just wanted to share something that Admiral Bannon and I have been talking about the last couple weeks, your former boss.
Maybe in the epilogue?
For your radio show and you're part of the movement, we changed the name to be American Citizens First.
My humble suggestion for you, sir.
And again, I thank you for all you've done and all you'll do working for the boss again.
That's very kind.
Let me cogitate on that.
You've been a good supporter of the show.
Thank you, Dave.
American Citizens First.
That's interesting.
Let's go to Randy in Knoxville.
Dr. Gorka.
Yep.
Parting is such sweet sorrow in the immortal words of the Bard.
I'm going to miss you.
Speaking of which, Dr. Gorka, a few days ago I called the Hugh Hewitt Show who's taking over your time spot, and I asked him when we were talking, I said, you know, it might be a real culture shock for listeners of Dr. Gorka to hear your show with all your rhino guests.
And Hugh, he was nice about it and everything, but he said, oh, Randy, you know, These MAGA people, I'm more MAGA than they are.
They just don't know.
Okay, so Hugh Hewitt told you he's more MAGA than the MAGA base?
Yes, he did.
And he said it's just they don't know.
Yeah, okay.
Thank you, Randy.
As usual, I'm going to pass the buck to Jeff.
Jeff, would you like to comment on Hugh Hewitt, my colleague, saying he's more MAGA than MAGA? It's just that the MAGA doesn't know that he's more MAGA than MAGA. Look, we've had a big momentum switch the last few months.
Some people get caught up in it.
Maybe he's right.
Oh, wow!
I thought Alex was the in-house diplomat.
Eric, what happened?
Are we going to have to withdraw Alex's diplomat card?
His credentials are going to have to be handed to Mr. G? Who are you and what have you done with the real Jeff?
Yes!
What has happened?
Alex, do you feel threatened by this sudden emergence of the diplomatic Mr. G? I'm glad we passed the torch to Jeff.
It's his.
But you're screwing up my team.
I've got one and a half days left.
Is Guy going to become the radical and then Jeff's going to like science fiction and John Carpenter?
Don't do this to me.
This is bizarro world.
Stop it.
Am I going to be polite and nice suddenly?
Don't mess with the brand, even if we've only got a day.
Oh dear, thank you.
Far too much fun.
Let's go to Judy in Brooklyn.
What are you so chipper about, okay?
Because I'm a happy puppy.
We won.
We won.
America won!
Excuse me, I don't think I can let you go, or Jeff or Eric.
Okay, you guys are my security blanket and I'm not a happy camper.
Listen.
Would you not like us to be running counterterrorism operations for the president?
Isn't that more of a security blanket, Judy?
Well, I have a compromise.
If you clone yourself, okay, including Jeff.
I'm a Catholic.
I'm not allowed to clone myself.
It's against the Bible.
Dr. Gorka, listen to me.
I have mixed emotions, okay?
I'm very happy for you with the cabinet appointment.
I'm also so, so proud to be one of your early supporters all the way around, and it's fantastic.
You're going to look out for all of us, and it's great.
But on the other hand, I'm losing the emotional connection with someone I think is awesome, and compared to all these other hosts, more or less.
They are dummies next to you.
And I don't know.
I'm just like, you need to do a once a week show.
I'm serious.
Once a week show, I don't care what, with Jeff and Eric.
Somebody floated that inside Salem, who will remain nameless.
I was going to say, that's crazy, but I actually responded in the email.
That's so crazy, it might actually work.
So, Judy, stay tuned, because I will be recommending to Stephen Chung, the head of communications, to Caroline Levitt, the White House press secretary, to the national security team, to Mike Waltz, who will be on the show in a few minutes, that I may be doing an hour a week just from the White House.
Or we have a rotating host.
Don't be a stranger.
Follow me on social media.
God bless you, Judy.
It's been amazing.
Relief Factor has also been an amazing supporter of the show.
I owe them so much.
We'll be talking to the man behind Relief Factor, a man who doesn't do interviews except for me here on my penultimate show.
Get the relief you deserve.
If you've tried everything else and failed to find relief, do it today.
It's only $19.95 for the three-week quick starter pack.
Call them up.
That's 1-800-473-5433.
You deserve to find out if you could be the next success story.
You've waited long enough.
Don't wait another nanosecond.
1-800-473-5433. Reliefhactor.com. Reliefhactor.com. You can block.
I thought you wanted me to be nice.
What?
I wasn't sure.
I thought you wanted me to be nice.
No, no, no.
Nice?
No, I wanted you to do something spicy.
Maybe next time.
Come on.
I'm leaving.
You're leaving.
You're going to be spicy.
That's probably not going to be the last call I get about Hugh Hewitt, if I'm being honest.
What does he even mean?
He's more MAGA than MAGA? What does that even mean?
I don't know.
I've got to find that clip.
People listen to Bannon and Hewitt.
Do they not have lives?
How much radio can you listen to in a day?
That's what you want a radio host to tell listeners.
No.
How much do you listen to?
If I'm awake and I'm not talking to my wife, I have a thing in my ear.
If you count podcasts or YouTube as much as you listen to.
What?
You, if you count YouTube and podcasts, how much you...
Oh, it's horrific.
It's horrific.
Horrific.
Well, and you say pretty much always you listen to a Chris Plant show, and then a little bit of Dan.
A little bit of Dan, if I can.
Claven.
I'm going to try to catch Claven.
And then just so much YouTube, it's unreal.
I would always listen to a bit of Rush in the morning driving to high school, back when I was in school, because on the West Coast, that was right around the time he'd be on the air.
I had no idea Stephen Miller was one of the guys who called out the Duke Lacrosse accuser.
Yep, people were sharing that video of him with hair and everything.
But there's a video?
There was a video, or at least people were sharing the screenshot.
I don't know if there's an actual video, but yeah, screenshot.
Oh, Johnson looks so happy!
He looks so happy!
Yeah, who made that?
Did you make that point, Eric, or was it Jeff?
That at least he's not going to be as subversive.
I think Jeff said that, yeah.
Yeah, I think that's good.
I bet the bus is happy.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah, that's one of the three who voted against him initially.
Ralph Norman, South Carolina.
Yeah, he voted for Jim Jordan, I think, at first.
Would you see there's video right before the vote, Chip got up and had a cell phone call and he stuck into the corner.
Chip Roy.
He got the call.
And he didn't vote against.
We're going to send him to break your legs, Chip.
No use crying over broken chips. 30 seconds. 30 seconds.
30 seconds.
You're listening to America First with Sebastian Gorka, former strategist to President Donald J. Trump.
I was on the PhD diet, and I think I'm going to be on the White House coffee diet.
I'm not going to have much time to eat after January the 20th.
I'll be locked in skiffs.
I'll be working for Mike Waltz.
I'm so excited.
The incoming National Security Advisor is going to open the second hour of the show.
So excited.
Do not miss it.
Make sure you stay with us for the whole three hours today.
And we're going to have...
Is it possible?
Alex, is this going to be the last Making Movies Great Again today?
It's the very last one, Dr. G. Wow, are we doing something really heavy and serious?
Is it, what, Bridge Over the River Kwai?
What are we going to do today?
Remind me.
We're continuing with our weekly theme of Christmas.
Christmas!
We had Mariah Carey yesterday, I think, on what we're going to do.
Oh, yes, the Muppets!
The Muppets Christmas Carol.
Let's continue with some Christmas music later on in the show.
I'm so grateful.
Two, of course, Dr. Ashley Lucas and her team at MyPhD Weight Loss changed my life.
You know, losing 42 pounds when you're 268 pounds and 6'3", it makes a big difference.
If you shrink down to a size 36 waist...
Like you had back in your 20s.
It's just an amazing feeling.
And if I can do it, so can you.
Call her amazing team up.
864-644-1900.
Or go to myphdweightloss.com.
It really will change your life for the better.

Let's go to Wendy in Louisville, Kentucky.
Well, hi.
Hey!
Excuse me.
I'm going to miss you so much.
You know we're all going to miss you and everything else.
What is the best thing, you know, doing the show and everything, what was your best memories and everything for the last six years and everything else?
I'm so curious about that.
What's my favorite part of the show?
No, your best time.
Oh, best time?
Oh, interviewing the president.
Interviewing the president, then having Katie in studio when she came on.
Love that.
We're going to do that on Monday, aren't we, Jeff?
We're going to have Katie and Jen on for the last show?
I think so.
Oh, wonderful.
And then just the callers.
Oh, my gosh.
I mean, I've learned so much from our callers, like you, Wendy, from our listeners, the people writing in on the Rumble chat.
Look, I can say it now because I'm leaving.
Wendy, I would pay to do this job.
This isn't a job.
It's not a job.
It's having fun for three hours a day.
The guys behind me, they're the ones that are working their...
Buttocks off.
You know, Jeff, who responds to my texts any day or, you know, any night, any time of day or night.
Eric, who's preparing all of the cuts for us, the movie reviews.
Guy, who, when there's only two people in the studio, is like running around as a cloned version of himself.
And then Alex, who's just always calm.
And collective.
It's everything about this show.
God bless you, Wendy.
What an amazing question.
Love it, love it, love it.
Let's go to Antoinette.
It's not Thursday.
She's not allowed to talk to me.
What are you doing, Antoinette?
At the speed of Trump that you are, Dr. G. Of course I'm allowed to, Colin.
And I want you to know that I was with you on your first day when you started in January 1, 2019.
And I met you the first time face-to-face in October of 2018.
So you're like my big brother I never had.
So I'm going to miss you.
I'll tell you, I was just asked by Wendy what's the best part of the show.
I'll tell you what one of the most amazing things of not doing the show but a part of it is seeing your beautiful face in a crowd when I go to California.
lights up the room.
She is such a stunning lady.
There she is.
My gosh, Eric, you are slick.
It's just always amazing to meet our listeners, and especially when they're as beautiful as you are, Antoinette.
Oh, my God, Dr. G.
But what I was really cracking up, Mr. G, I've never heard him so kind in all my life.
Yeah, I thought he was going to bring down the hammer on Hugh Chewitt.
What is this nice Mr. D? You want your money back, don't you, Antoinette, when Mr. G is so nice?
Oh, you know what?
As for Hugh Hewitt, it's not one of my, you know, it's called Meets Night No.
All right, listen, I want to say thank you to you and your support for the last six years.
You get to choose whatever you like.
Jeff, take Antoinette's call, whatever she wants from the website.
She gets it, all right?
Because she has been a star, one of our angel ladies here on America First, along with Judy and the rest of the...
What happened to that lawyer from Pennsylvania?
What was her name?
That lawyer from Pennsylvania, Lauren, right?
Remember who called in one day, almost crying?
Amazing, smart woman.
She's been a stranger for about a year and a half.
I wonder where she is.
You've got one and a half shows left, Lauren.
Call in.
You are such a smart cookie.
Love it, love it, love it.
All right, Jeff, ask Antoinette what she gets.
She gets a pick of the run on the website.
Maybe, because I was speaking to John Adams, you know, the John Adams yesterday, the man behind the Dr. G Liberty cigars, maybe somebody around Antoinette's environs would like a box of cigars.
Oh, by the way, big news, the George Washington cigars are back.
You can get the Teddy Roosevelt.
But the big Mondo ones, the big George Washingtons that I love to smoke, they are back on the website.
So go to SebGorkaStore.com to treat yourself.
Get your January the 20th gear.
Get what you need to wear.
Get the cigar you or your friends are going to smoke.
She gets to choose whatever he wants.
You can go to SebGorkaStore.com.
That's S-E-B-G-O-R-K-A, SebGorkaStore.com.
More of your calls will.
John, don't go anywhere.
But now, let's hear from my muse.
Katie, talk to us about Z Factor.
Okay, I will say, if I don't take it, I'm up at four.
And I love that time with the dogs, but I'd rather be asleep in bed.
So when I take Relief Factor, I actually sleep till six, even seven o'clock in the morning.
I tell you what, I'm a much happier camper.
As am I. This stuff really, really works.
I know it because I've taken it and so has Mr. G and it works.
And not only that, not only does it give you that deep restorative sleep, you sleep through the night.
You wake up and you're not drowsy or woolly-headed like those other products leave you.
Get a good night's sleep.
One of the most important things you can do for your life after exercising and eating well is getting regular, high-quality sleep.
Order your first bottle of Z-Factor by calling 1-800-4-RELIEF or just go to the regular website, relieffactor.com, and click on the Z-Factor tab.
One of the most joyous things in life is to get a good night's sleep with regularity.
1-800-473-5433, relieffactor.com, relieffactor.com. 1-800-473-5433, on relief factor.com.
All righty.
Titles.
Tyler.
Tyler.
Can we stop Democrat dark money?
And I want to...
Let's do mixing for one segment, Jeff.
One segment.
And Jim Hansen for 2C, because he's just posted a video about everything that doesn't make sense about the Vegas guy.
Okay.
Very nice.
And he's free.
Awesome.
I knew we had to get him back one last time.
It's snowing.
Yeah, and then waltz and booty.
It's supposed to snow Monday, too.
That's what I heard, yeah.
I love it!
And now Jeff's gonna give me a heart attack by saying, I love it too.
More snow, please.
Nope, still hate it.
No, the world will end when he says he loves sci-fi.
Yeah, that's it.
Then it's over.
Did you see the Sean Ryan thing?
No.
Did you send it to me?
Yeah, he said the drones are China.
They're anti-gravity.
Oh, for fuck's sake.
Uh-oh.
It claims it's an email from the Vegas thing guy.
Right, I think I'm gonna cancel.
He wanted me to be on his show.
I think I'm gonna cancel that.
He's usually pretty good.
What?
Some of the stuff I've heard with him are pretty good.
They are, but then why do you have to screw with it?
You've got an amazing brand, and then you just say, it's the aliens.
Come in with three.
Come in with three.
And then, Katie Podcast here?
Uh, yeah.
Yup.
Play me six.
Six real quick.
Get your vote for Mike Johnson.
Oh no.
You can pull all my fingernails out.
You can shove bamboo up in them.
You can start cutting off my fingers.
I am not voting for Mike Johnson tomorrow.
And you can take that to the bank.
That's Thomas Massey.
The one guy who voted against Johnson.
Coming with three.
It failed, completely backfired.
They suppressed information.
They tampered with evidence.
There's reports out there that they were actually tampering with witnesses sitting in front of that committee, something that has, frankly, never happened in the halls of Congress.
happened with this J-6 committee.
So for them to be rewarded for, frankly, the lack of transparency and honesty they gave to the American people is disgusting.
But why are we surprised?
I'm curious.
Jeff, you know me.
I hate conspiracy theories.
Liz Cheney, Benny Thompson get medals.
Medals don't stop.
Prosecutors.
Is Biden messing with them by not giving them pardons?
No.
No, no, no, no.
You think he's still going to do it?
If they want him, he probably will.
But you think he will?
Probably.
Because who cares about a medal, right?
Yes, exactly.
There's going to be a lot of pardons.
You still think so?
Right before the 20th, a ton.
All right.
If you're going to miss me after next Monday.
Listen to the other Gorker.
She's got her podcast with Jennifer Horne, the Happy Women podcast.
Subscribe today wherever you get your podcasts, including blowing up on YouTube.
That's Katie Gorker, Jennifer Horne, the Happy Women podcast.
Let's squeeze in one more call.
Let's go to San Diego and John.
Hey, Sebastian.
About two months ago, we talked about the sanctuary cities in 1324. I didn't get a chance to mention the other awesome part of that law.
It provides for asset forfeiture, including real estate.
So when Homan goes in and gets an illegal alien, he gets to take the house or the apartment building they're living in.
Nice.
And that's a federal statute, John?
Yes, it is.
It's part of 1324. And what this will do is once everybody knows about it, you're going to get a half a million landlords unofficially deputizing themselves.
And kicking out their own illegal aliens so they don't lose their property.
Oh my gosh.
Could you imagine Tom Homan doing what they did to the drug cartels in Miami in the 1980s?
Oh yeah, you want to do that kind of stuff on U.S. soil?
Well, we're going to do asset forfeiture and we're going to take your building.
I love it, John.
That's superb.
Let's give John a reward as well.
He'll get the Kamala, you're fired t-shirt.
It's based upon the amazing Uncle Sam wants you for the U.S. Army, but this time it's President Trump as Uncle Sam with his best phrase, you're fired, Kamala.
He gets his for free, John, in San Diego.
You can get yours at SebGawkerStore.com.
Next up, my boss as of 12.01.
Well, President Trump's going to be my big boss.
He's going to be all of our bosses in federal government, but the man I'll be working for day to day as Senior Director for Counterterrorism will be.
The incoming National Security Advisor, first Green Beret in Congress.
We spoke to him from the floor of Congress as the vote was proceeding for the speaker earlier today.
You don't want to miss what Mike Waltz has to tell you about President Trump, January 20th, and the next four years.
This is America First. This is America First.
This is America

This was President Trump from Mar-a-Lago on New Year's Eve.
Mr. Netanyahu, about a ceasefire bill, you said if they don't have one, by the time you take office, there will be hell to pay.
We're going to see what happens.
Have you spoken to Trump?
They better let the hostages come back soon.
As the president said in an earlier social media post, if they are not released by the inauguration, there will be hell to pay for the jihadists.
No one better to discuss this with than the man who will be standing next to the president for the next four years as his national security adviser, the first ever Green Beret to serve in Congress, a man who's ripping time away from the vote on the floor for the new speaker for us, Colonel.
Congressman and my future boss, Michael Waltz.
Welcome back to America First.
Well, hey, Seb.
Good to be with you.
And the president and I are thrilled to have you on the team.
It'll be a little bit of a loss for your listeners, but that's just because you'll be in a compartment of facility tracking down bad guys and doing bad things to bad people who want to do bad things to America.
So really...
Really looking forward to doing big things with you, my friend.
Well, it's a peculiar situation to be in.
I've been waiting 25 years for this.
I'm talking to you from my radio show, almost my final...
You are talking to us from your current position in Congress.
Explain.
You have been very, very clear of late on the media how things change at 12.01 on January the 20th in the most concise terms possible.
How different will things be as soon as President Trump is sworn back into office?
Well, look, we will do everything that we can, everything that we have to do.
For Americans being held around the world, whether it's by terrorist groups as hostages or by governments who come up with these just kind of ridiculous excuses, what we call illegal detentions, to get them out.
However, the whole dynamic is about to change.
Right now, I think, whether they're terrorist groups or some rogue regime sees nothing but upside for taking Americans off the street.
Why not?
From their perspective, let's see what we can get for it.
We can get another Victor Boot or we can get another trade like they got for Brittany Griner.
My message, the president's message is there is going to be nothing but hell to pay.
There is going to be nothing but costs.
And that's everything from a bullet in the forehead for some of these terrorists to diplomatic costs, financial costs, but you do not get to deal with the United States.
In any way, shape, or form if you are holding an American.
So the entire dynamic is about to change.
There's going to be nothing but downside for detaining an American illegally or taking them hostage.
Right now, there's just nothing but upside.
Beyond the counterterrorism mission, you are responsible for all national security.
Explain the unique philosophy of President Trump.
He's not an isolationist.
He doesn't say the rest of the world matters.
He's America first, but not America alone.
However, he is not interested in forever wars and sending our troops to places where they cannot benefit the national interest.
Would you explain the philosophy of President Trump?
Yep, sure.
Because, of course, our friends in the media and on the progressive left love to twist this every which way, but when the president says America first and the application of power, that can be – that isn't just military power.
First of all, what the president knows is that our true strength is our economy and our markets.
That is underscored by energy.
That is underscored by smart taxes.
It's policy, right?
Flourishing entrepreneurship, innovation.
And that is the true power the United States has, backed by a lethal, effective, capable United States military.
And it starts right here at home.
It starts with our sovereignty.
It starts with our borders.
It starts with ending this millions of migrants.
That are coming in that we literally just can't afford, regardless of how you feel about the humanitarian situation, because that's the strength of our economy.
That's what underscores a great military and great soldiers and sailors and what have you.
And then you start pushing that out.
When the United States does apply force, then it applies it decisively with real objectives in mind and to true effect.
Case in point, the Soleimani hit.
Iran was on their back feet.
Their economy was tanking, but they were still mucking around, and it wasn't until they attacked our embassy that the president actually showed a lot of restraint before he took action.
When he did, he did it to great effect with no collateral damage and restored stability.
Sometimes you've got to punch the bully in the mouth.
And then take a step back and watch everything settle down.
This administration, unfortunately, I think, wakes up in the morning thinking about the next concession.
They're the kid on the schoolyard that says, can I give the bully just a little more lunch money, and maybe they'll be nice.
President Trump knows how to deal with these individuals.
The other thing, because the media confuses all the time, He's a dealmaker.
And you can't cut deals with the other side, even if they're bad guys, if you're publicly trashing them.
So he's going to maintain these relationships, whether it's Kim Jong-un or she or whomever.
Watch what we do and the deals that he cuts, Abraham Accords and others.
So take a pause on the rhetoric and look at the reality.
And I think that really...
Captures his approach to international affairs.
We're talking to Colonel Mike Waltz, the first Green Beret in Congress, incoming National Security Advisor for President Trump.
I've got one last question for you.
It's a little bit personal, but I think it's a fun one.
I've known you for a long time.
I campaigned for you when you were candidate, Waltz.
I was representing you and the President in the White House this morning with regards to the transition from the Biden team.
I know why I'm doing this.
I am honored to do this.
It's not just an honor, it's a duty.
I've been waiting 25 years for this job because I've been eating and drinking.
We encounter terrorism, teaching our military, teaching our law enforcement.
Why is a guy like you, who's got the plum position, first Green Beret in Congress, author of the brand new book, Hard Truths, How to Think and Lead Like a Green Beret, you could have had a cushy life.
And I know we've got the photograph of you with Trudeau and President Trump at Mar-a-Lago.
It is, I know from experience, it is hard keeping up with this man.
This is a real job being national.
Well, first of all, I believe in the president's vision.
And just a few years ago, we literally had peace breaking out in the Middle East.
Now we have total chaos.
We had our allies stepping up to share their defense burden.
Now we have World War I. The Chinese Communist Party and our borders wide open with gangs, criminals and migrants pouring across.
So I believe in President Trump's vision.
I've seen the results of it.
We have a sacred duty to them who are willing to die for all of us.
And not just them, but the Gold Star families who did make the ultimate sacrifice.
And they are often not served by the Washington, D.C. swamp anywhere close to like they should be.
President Trump knows it.
He's a disruptor that's going to clean it out.
And I wake up every day thinking about them and their families.
You are talking to about three and a half million people right now.
Congressman Waltz from Texas to California to D.C. and constituents in your Florida district.
Last question.
Share a little bit about how...
This man is like a steam train.
He's like a Mack truck.
How hard is it to keep up with President Trump?
Yeah, right.
I already, being on four national security committees, a member of Congress, I was kind of in fourth gear.
I'm here to get stuff done.
Somehow, Seb, I found another three since he asked me to do this and working for a man that lives in tenth gear.
I've never seen anything like it, and I've been around Green Berets, SEALs, special operations my entire life.
I've literally seen, never seen an engine like President Trump has.
His foot is on the gas, I think, 21 hours a day.
And he is ready to do big things.
And the thing is that he's not a year one president or even a year five president.
He's a year nine president.
And I think the failure of some of my predecessors was trying to conform him to some type of Scowcroft model or national security process.
No, we're going to conform the system to his style because his style gets results.
And he's surrounding himself with people that is focused on outputs.
Not how much money and people did you throw at a problem.
What are the results you got?
And that's a businessman's thinking.
And so I'm thrilled, excited, and honored to have you.
And we're going to hang a sign over the White House that says it's not about us.
It's not even about the president.
It's about the 70-plus million Americans who put him there and getting results for them.
Can't wait.
The January 20th can't come soon enough.
We're talking to the National Security Advisor, to the President-elect.
Follow him right now.
And Michael G. Walsh.
And thank you, Colonel Congressman, for taking time from the floor vote.
You're listening to America First with me, Sebastian Gorka.
Don't go anywhere.
We will be back after these messages.
We will be back after these messages.
We will be back after these messages.
We will be back after these messages.
We will be back after these messages.
We will be back after these messages.
You can turn the mics on.
Am I talking to the one and only Dr. Mixon?
The one and the only, the great Dr. Mixon, of course.
Well, thank you for squeezing us in while you're traveling.
I just wanted to say in front of all of our listeners how grateful I am to you and talk a little bit about how Relief Factor was born before we shut the show down on Monday.
So God bless.
All right.
We'll be live across the nation in two minutes.
And then we'll let you go after the seven-minute segment is done.
Okay.
Although, I've got to tell you.
I think there's something more important than Relief Factor to chat about.
We could do that.
What would you like to talk about?
I think the fact that America has the 60th longest lifespan on the planet.
Okay.
There's 59 countries that people live longer than we do.
Oh, good.
We'll talk about that after we talk about Relief Factor.
We have enough time.
All right.
That's great.
That's good.
Good, good, good.
Excellent.
How's your lovely wife?
Well, she's great.
In fact, she's sitting right here to the left of me.
Let's see if you can see her.
Hey, thank you for letting him do this.
And then my daughter.
Yes.
Amazing.
Amazing.
So you just got back from a trip?
A two-week cruise in the Caribbean, actually.
Nothing like cruising in little poor islands in the Caribbean to remind you how wonderful America is.
Clearly a hardship post.
All right, guys, come in with...
Sat phone, one, two, three.
Come in with six, then I'll do sat phone, and then we'll go to the good doctor.
All righty.
Six and then sat phone.
35 seconds.
You're welcome.
You're welcome.
Oh no.
You can pull all my fingernails out.
You can shove bamboo up in them.
You can start cutting off my fingers.
I am not voting for Mike Johnson tomorrow.
And you can take that to the bank.
Well, it didn't work, did it?
Eric, is that really Massey?
What?
What did he look like?
That was on Matt Gaetz's new show.
That was, yeah, on Matt Gaetz's new show on OAN. Yeah, he clearly has not shaved in a while.
He's got that really nasty 5 o'clock shadow.
He's not wearing his signature glasses, and his hair isn't the usual, like, curly.
That's right.
Very weird.
He tried.
He failed.
We have a new Speaker of the House.
America First rolls on, and we have 16 days left to do.
I can't wait.
I have only two days left with you.
Monday is the last show.
And I want to thank all those who've supported us.
And to make sure that you have what you need after I leave this chair, it's one of the most important things you can do in your life, is that is to maintain communication with your loved ones and to always be able to call for help in an emergency.
The people behind the satellite phone store provide communications which are not only functioning all over the planet, 70% of the Earth's surface has no cellular phone connection.
It is also military-grade encrypted.
I have one of these handsets for every member in my family as well as my son's fiancée.
Get at least one handset for your family so in an emergency, when the cell phones go down, you can communicate and all your communications are encrypted.
Call them today, 855- 855-980-5830 or go to sat123.com.
That's SAT, like satellite phone, sat123.com and the number 855-980-5830.
It is imperative you have at least one of these devices.
So, six years ago, we started this show and one of the staunchest supporters, a person who has stood by us.
Through thick and thin.
And a man who has changed my life for the better because I don't even remember having a lower back pain issue like I did for nine years for almost a decade because of Dr. Jerry Mixon, the man, the legend behind Relief Factor who eschews the limelight and is connecting to us from an airport after a vacation.
Dr. Mixon, thank you for joining us on my penultimate America First episode.
You know, I would not have missed it for anything.
The ship got in this morning, I saw your text, and I immediately said, I'll do what I have to do for Sebastian.
I will fly to D.C. if I have to.
But, you know, you were gracious enough to let me do it by...
And not only that, we're not going to show them on screen to embarrass them, but your beautiful bride and your daughter are sitting there permitting you to do this when you should be on vacation.
That is the sense of duty that you have as a veteran, as a Vietnam veteran, and an incredible story of why you did what you did to create Relief Factor.
So I love this stuff.
I'm going to keep taking it if I still get shipments of it after I leave this chair.
But tell us...
About your service and how you ended up in the medical sphere and how Relief Factor came around.
Well, okay.
I was born on a military base, raised on military bases, joined the Army when I was 17, and volunteered for Vietnam, volunteered for the paratroopers, volunteered for every high-risk activity I could get into.
And I picked up a fair number of gunshot, one banette wound, sort of shrapnel, and the Army told me after all of that I was 90% permanently disabled and kicked me out.
I had no skills except blowing things up and shooting people, and there wasn't much call for that.
And as I was ruminating on what I wanted to do with the rest of my life, I realized that...
The extreme violence of my youth was still in my head, and I needed to do something to, if you will, make amends for the people I had killed.
So I became a physician.
I went to school, got my first degree in microbiology, and then I got my doctorate in medicine, and then I became a country doctor for 20-some years, and then I opened What are commonly called anti-aging clinics.
Well, we'll talk about the amazing, shocking statistic regarding aging in a moment.
But what was the genesis of relief factor, Dr. Mixon?
Well, the genesis of relief factor was two things.
I had one of my physician patients.
I have a lot of MDs that are patients.
And he wanted something that would help decrease inflammation for his orthopedic injuries.
And so I developed Relief Factor.
It had four separate anti-inflammatory compounds in it that each worked by a different mechanism.
So if one of them didn't help you, the second one had a good shot at it.
And if the second one didn't, the third did.
And certainly if none of those three do, the fourth will do it.
So I just put it all together.
And as you might expect, all of my old gunshot and shrapnel wounds, I have a lot of pain.
I have scars on both arms, both legs, and my chest from old injuries.
And a relief factor is something I take every day, twice a day at a minimum.
And if I do something stupid and hurt myself, I increase that to three or four for a day or two until the pain goes away.
You don't have to be a combat veteran.
You don't have to have shrapnel in your body to justify this incredible product.
Relieffactor.com.
I'm not going to pitch it anymore.
Relieffactor.com.
We've only got two minutes left with you.
You need to get back to your vacation.
You are concentrated on combating aging as well.
What is that shocking statistic you shared with me in the break before we came on?
Well, America is...
Not the first in lifespan on the planet, despite the amount of money we spend on medical care.
The fact is 60 countries live longer than us.
Okay, 60 countries.
Wow.
The American lifespan is 76 years, and Japan, Hong Kong, Singapore are 85 years, nine years longer than America, but even second world countries.
You know, there are 59 countries that live longer than we do, despite horrible medical care in many of them.
And the difference is simply we're the fattest country on the planet, except Samoa.
And fat is killing America.
In the time we have left with you, what is the most important thing, or where should people start in terms of longevity, Dr. Mixon?
If you want to live a long time, the primary thing to do is to be lean and fit.
Eat less, move more.
If I can get anything to R.F. Kennedy, who's going to be in charge of Health and Human Services, it's let's make being fat as unpopular as smoking is.
Wow.
We need a Surgeon General for the United States who will do what do.
Dr. Mixon, it's a little bit out of my portfolio, but after January the 20th, if I manage to connect with Bobby Kennedy Jr., I will connect him with you.
That is a promise I make to you because I am so grateful what you've done for me, my family, and all of our listeners.
God bless you.
Thank you for your service.
Get back to your family, ReliefFactor.com.
The founder, the legend, Dr. Jerry.
We salute you.

me.
That's sebastiangorka.substack.com.
I'll see you in DC again.
you Thank you.
Yes, well, I'll be up there if you ever have time for me.
Yeah, and then I'll see.
I'm serious.
I'll see what I can do.
I know one person who's going to work with Bobby Kennedy, and I'll see if I can connect you guys.
That would be great.
I'd love to chat with him about it.
I think it's important.
Totally, but I love it.
It's so simple.
Make fat like smoking.
It's just a genius idea.
All right, I owe you.
God bless you.
Thank you, sir.
Thank you, sir.
Appreciate it.
Bye-bye.
Mike's still on.
And he's got his camouflage hoodie on.
Is he multi-cam?
Is he urban camo?
He's urban camo.
He's a ninja.
It's Conspiracy Day.
I love it.
I just want you to do a short version of why all of this stuff is such BS. Because I've been saying the Desert Eagle thing doesn't make sense.
The fireworks in the back.
You know, the just got pitched by his girlfriend.
I mean, let's talk about what's probably going on here.
Now, you need to know, Sean Ryan just had a guy on his show.
Retired CW2 who claims to have an email from him with a frickin' manifesto about Chinese drones and crazy shit.
Yeah, and Sean Ryan said he's going into hiding because the anti-grav drones are coming to get him.
It's like, Sean...
I read it, I even thought it was a little insane.
And he's usually not.
The guy he's got on is a kook.
I mean, you gotta do better than that, man.
Yeah, alright.
Is that guest any good?
What, Jeff?
Is that guest any good, Jim?
Do you know anything about that guest, Jim?
I remember him as a kook.
I'm looking up where.
I got MEF guys looking at it.
What's his name?
I'll let you know.
Sam Shoemate.
Sam Shoemate.
Do I waste listening to it on the way home last night?
That's really what I want to know.
No, it's slow.
You're a little bit jerky on the feed.
Is there a choice of modems on your side?
But hold on, I can probably get my...
It's the feds, because Jim...
It's the feds!
Coming for him next.
The anti-grav drones are coming for Uncle Jimbo.
That would be a shame.
The part in the email where it says they could literally park them over the White House if they wanted to right now.
Right.
That's great.
But they settled on Jersey.
They're looking for you, Jeff.
They think you're still in Jersey.
One minute.
He's reconnecting, right?
He might be switching to his Mac camera, I think is what he was going for.
How's that?
A little less jerky?
We don't have video.
Do we have video?
It says video not enabled.
Call me again because that's what it is if I change cameras.
40 seconds.
Want to come up with something or just do pillow at the top here?
What have we got?
Anything short?
We haven't already played.
Oh, coming with number two.
Hang on, this is pretty short, right?
This is a short thing.
No, I'm not going to do anything here because it's such a short segment.
I want to get to Jim.
He's back, and yeah, the motion looks a lot cleaner.
Much better.
All right.
All right.
sense out of today's nonsense.
Here's Dr. Sebastian Gorka.
And that's the right music, Airwolf.
The helicopters, the black helicopters, the drones are going to come for us.
The UAVs, the antigrav.
Let's make sense of the garbage that's floating out there.
He just sent me a video like 20 minutes ago and I said, dude, come on the show.
I mean, Sampagambi.
He is our Green Beret buddy.
He says something doesn't smell right about the Las Vegas incident.
Jim Hansen, president of WorldStrat.
Everybody needs to go and watch the video on Twitter.
Give us the bottom line up front.
You are a former Green Beret.
This was a 10th Special Forces group guy, blew himself up in the Cybertruck.
What doesn't make sense to you, especially some of the crazy things that are being spun out of this story?
The one thing that does make sense, the Occam's razor of all this, is dude gets dumped by his girlfriend, has issues with infidelity on both sides of that, loses it, and decides to go out in a blaze of absurd glory.
Somebody called this, a good friend of the show, his dad, yesterday, he texted me and he said, my dad calls this an extravagant suicide.
And I'm looking at the gold AR. I'm looking at the $2,000 Desert Eagle.
Not your classic terrorist tools.
So what do you think of this idea?
Just an extravagant suicide with literally fireworks and gasoline in the back of the truck.
I mean, come on.
You can't own a Desert Eagle as a serious person on a Special Forces team, except as a toy to play with in your backyard.
Right.
So it's an unserious gun, so it's silly.
The Cybertruck, as badass as it is, is still a pretty silly vehicle.
You go to Trump Tower in Vegas, a silly town and a place where you're likely to get a lot of attention, and boom, you blow yourself up with fireworks?
At what point is this terrorism and not a guy who wanted to go out and be a...
Well, I am definitely not inviting you to my next visit to the range with my 50 Cal Desert Eagle after I rent a Cybertruck as well.
They are a bit silly, but I do think they are rather cool, although my wife disagrees.
I wholeheartedly concur with your analysis.
This is PTSD, something, you know, psychological.
It's about his wife, his infidelity.
It's a man who cracked in his...
Just doing something extravagant.
That's what it looks like.
Let's flip it to New Orleans.
Your reaction to the misnose ring of the FBI as they are folding up the black Shahada ISIS flag saying, this is not terrorism, Jim.
You know, why do they consistently want to dump their already non-existent credibility deeper into the gutter?
I don't understand.
They knew we were going to find out about that.
And in the end, this was the simple one.
This is when you've got a radicalized Muslim convert with an ISIS flag.
Okay, why not start there?
You know, why not start there and say, hey, America, we think this was a convert who was radicalized.
Does anybody know anything?
Why not treat the American people like we're smarter than the FBI because we are?
And when you see the fact that the mayor, who's a pretty woke mayor, literally 90 seconds beforehand says this is a terrorist attack, you understand information operations.
What did Elon call it?
The woke mind virus.
The person who runs the city said, It's terrorism.
And you can literally stand up to the microphone 60 seconds later and say it's not.
That looks to me like an institution that, let's just say, needs somebody like Kash Patel.
Do you concur?
I absolutely cannot wait for not just a broom.
I want a street-sweeping vehicle going down the hallways of every government building, just clearing these people out.
With those rotating brushes, right?
And the big hoovers on the front.
The big ones.
Are you excited?
17 days to go.
How pumped are you, Jim Hansen?
I wake up every morning.
Now that we got past this New Year's insanity, I think things are going to settle down.
And I wake up every morning with a more positive attitude than I have in a long time.
I can't wait, Seb.
You too.
You're going in, brother.
I was in the White House this morning checking out my future digs.
So we're talking to the Biden people.
It was rather an interesting meeting.
And I'll see you in the Navy mess, I hope, my friend, in the not-too-distant future.

Dude, it's a fun gun.
No, it's a toy.
It's a toy.
It is.

It's not a real gun.
It's an awesome hand can.

Blowing stuff up.
Yeah.
All right.
Happy New Year, brother.

Yeah, totally.
Okay.
Alright, and then I'll tee up the video, and then we'll bring in Mr. Humphreys.
Are you going to play the whole video, or just fade it down?
I think I'm going to play the whole thing.
Okay, alrighty then.
There we go, okay.
Okay, just need a title for Jim and for Dr. Mixon.
I'd killed too many people, comma, I wanted to give back.
In quotes?
Yeah.
And then put relief factors...
Jerry Mixon.
Jerry Mixon.
All right He's his phone Okay, I guess he's switching to phone, apparently.
Oh.
Humphreys is.
Let me find a picture of him.
There should be some.
Do we have his title from the last time?
Yeah, he is the...
Media Relations Manager.
Okay.
Springfield Armory.
I'm getting a good picture.
This is a pretty good picture, I thought.
Alright, I'm on the mics off.
Yeah.
Mike. Mike.
Mike.
Mike. Mike. Mike. Mike.
This is Second Amendment Friday on America First, brought to you by Carr Firearms.
Why Carr Firearms?
Because they get it.
Their CEO and founder, Justin Moon, understands that we remain the freest nation on God's green earth because of the Second Amendment that makes all our other civil rights possible.
There's a reason I carry a Carr 9mm every single day, because we are the last guarantor of our liberty.
Check out their amazing line of weapons at kahr.com, which include, we mentioned them earlier, the fun Hollywood legend that is the Desert Eagle line and the historic auto-ordinance weapons of the U.S. military, including the M1 carbine, the venerable Tommy gun, and the legendary 1911. kahr.com, kahr.com.
Now, you know me.
I have a very serious health condition.
I cannot go past a bookstore without buying a gun or a gun.
A bookstore without buying a book or a gun store without buying a gun.
But sometimes firearms just magically appear at my FFL that I wasn't expecting.
And here is me unboxing a weapon that had been sent to my federal firearms dealer as a surprise Christmas gift.
And man alive, was it well packaged.
Well, this just arrived from Springfield.
Echelon 4.0 C. What is that?
Wow.
Haley Strategic?
Safariland?
Vortex?
Oh my gosh.
There's never time in a gunfight.
I always say that the one that chooses you, you don't get to choose it.
That's why the training aspect is so important.
If I can control a gun extremely fast, what if I do my training to a body?
I love the echelon.
This comes...
Vortex Sight.
Love it.
And then what's in here?
Wow!
Look at that!
Oh, I'm excited.
Who's excited?
Love it.
What a come.
For those of you who are listening on radio alone, it was like somebody sent me an iPad that goes boom.
It's the new Echelon Compact with the Red Dot Sight.
In a box that has a mini iPad in the top that has an instructional video from Travis Haley of Haley Strategic and underneath a beautiful rig from Safariland Holsters.
I was going to tell Springfield they need to make a compact version of the Echelon and I guess they read their mind.
How did they do that?
Are they Vulcans with a Vulcan mind melt?
Let's ask the man in charge of their media relations, Mike Humphreys of...
Springfield Armory, Happy New Year.
Happy New Year to you as well.
Thank you, Dr. Gorka.
I appreciate you having me on the show.
Now, I've seen a lot of slick product promotions, but that even made Apple look like pikers.
The fact that the box has a video tablet in the top talking about what you've sent.
I think I got a letter with it saying, you're one of our valued media influencers and this is your Christmas gift.
Did you work with an outside group?
Was that in-house?
Because the whole delivery, the branding, is top-notch, my man.
Well, I appreciate you saying that, and I'd love to be able to take credit for it, but that was a joint effort within the marketing department, but we did do it internally.
As you know, Springfield takes how it presents its brand and its marketing very seriously.
So that was a very special project that we did for a select group of people, which, of course, you are one of them, to get those out to.
Everyone was as excited about it as you were.
I'm glad to hear you two enjoyed it so much.
Well, I'm only more excited by the whispers I've been hearing from people who will go unnamed like Steve Kramer that there might be a 10mm echelon around the corner because, of course, that is the only caliber that matters.
But let's talk about the echelon because, look, you don't have to hear this from me because you just have to go online.
But the reviews this weapon is getting is it's outglocking the Glock.
It's got everything the Glock needs to have on it from a custom shop, from the factory.
You tell me, are they selling faster than sliced bread?
Tell us about the success of the Echelon.
Oh, yeah, extremely so.
We knew that coming into the game at this point with a duty-style 9mm, the striker fired, it's really hard to stand out from the crowd.
So we made an effort to engineer it with a lot of advanced features like the variable interface optic system, the central operating group chassis system.
I think the reasons you like it so much, it basically gives you a much more advanced design than pretty much everything that's out there now.
And with the new compact version, you're getting that duty-grade style pistol, but now all those features, but in one that's easy to carry and conceal.
And I'm curious...
Have you heard any scuttlebutt from the industry?
Because the way you package this product with the sight, with the holster in the hidden drawer, with the iPad, with the video, are your competitors a little bit worried because you've so raised the bar for all of them?
Well, now, unfortunately, you know, just the regular customer gets that is going to get the standard pistol and the two magazines.
Right, right, right.
But in terms of showing what's possible.
Oh, gosh, yeah.
We're definitely standing up in the back, and we have heard some buzz that it has raised some eyebrows.
But that's what we want to do.
Good.
And then what is your projection now that we have a pro-Second Amendment president being sworn in in 17 days?
What's that going to do for the industry in your estimation, Mike?
Well, I think it's good to have an administration that's looking out to protect the Second Amendment.
It means that we're going to be able to continue offering what we offer, innovate, do long-term planning, offer even more exciting products down the road.
We can do long-term planning, and we're very excited about that.
And the last question I have to ask, be rude not to, because I will not be going to SHOT Show this year in Vegas because I'm going to be a little bit busy on January the 20th.
And I used to ask everybody I met who mattered, what are you carrying today?
I think I know the answer.
Mike Humphreys, Media Relations Manager, Springfield Armory.
What is your concealed carry weapon of choice at the moment?
It was previously a Hellcat Pro, and I've recently switched over to the Echelon Compact, the 4.0C. All right, all right.
The Hellcat is a tiny little weapon.
It's very sexy, very cool.
Check them all out at springfield-armory.com, especially the Echelon.
It is more better Glock than Glock could even make.
And the new Compact, wow, wow, wow.
Happy New Year to you, Mike, to Steve, and everyone at Springfield Armories, and thank you.
For my late surprise Christmas gift, Springfield-Armory.com, Springfield-Armory.com.

The most important speech President Trump...
The most important question President Trump ever asked.
Five.
Tom Wilson, at Allstate CEO, has a strange answer for the terrorist threat.
No, let's do something else.
10. Let's do 10 instead.
A real threat analysis from at Tom Homan.
And then I'm going to tee up 11 here.
Tee up 11. Yep.
30 seconds.
I'm talking about Mike Waltz on Fox.
I'm talking about Mike Waltz on Fox.
Thank you.
No violence.
No hate speech.
Just happy warriors on America First.
Happy warriors because we have a sense of humor on our side.
Yes, we do.
We actually laugh when things are risible.
And we have people who can actually poke fun at the lunacy of the left who believe that if a man says they are a woman...
Then they can be a woman.
And I guess that doesn't always apply and doesn't apply to, I guess, thin people who think they're fat.
I found this on Instagram and it is absolutely superb.
This is a video of the members of the Queer Fat Club and their latest member.
This is a Queer Fat Club.
I'm queer and fat.
Okay, thank you for joining.
We're just introducing ourselves at the moment.
Okay.
Do you want to go ahead and introduce yourself, Joe?
Yeah, my name's Joe.
I go by he, they, and I identify as 275 pounds.
Okay.
Okay.
Um...
I feel like Jay is kind of making fun of me though.
I know it's kind of a shock.
I know.
Kind of a new thing.
I'm missing a monk.
Do what?
I said I apologize.
Oh no, you're good.
Um, are you comfortable leaving the group at the moment?
Why?
Why?
I'm not understanding why you're joining the group.
This is the queer and fat group now.
Yeah.
That's what I came here for.
Okay.
Um, and you said you identify as fat?
Yeah.
Okay.
This is just for fat-bodied people.
Yeah, I understand.
I identify as a fat-bodied person.
I'm not understanding where you're coming from.
Are you guys comfortable with me here?
I mean, I'm pretty chill on my end.
I'm not comfortable, no.
Jeff, why not more conservatives do stuff like that?
I mean...
You used to troll the Groypers and the idiots for fun from your car as you were driving home from the studio.
Yes, I enjoyed that.
When are you going to call into the Black Lesbian Club?
I would love to do stuff like that.
I have no idea where you find that.
But if I could find a link, I would absolutely do that.
Alex, you're pretty good at internet research.
Could you find a few, I don't know, one-legged black lesbian clubs that Jeff could call into?
I'm on it.
Yes, sir.
Eric, don't we need to see Mr. G on one of those calls?
He would absolutely just have them just quaking in fear.
He's so deadpan, they wouldn't know what to do!
Exactly, because he delivers everything with a stone face.
It's great.
And then G could video it, and then we could have this viral video one after another.
Yes, the Oakland Black One-Legged Lesbian Club and Mr. G calls in.
Let's do it.
Let's have some fun.
In the meantime, let's make movies great again as well.
It's Friday.
We're going to continue to have some fun.
We're going to expand the aperture of our discussion, not just about movies, but about everything that our good friend Chris Coles does here on America First and has done for 76 episodes.
How did that happen?

See the thing you people wouldn't believe.
You want to talk to God?
Let's go see him together.
Let's go.
Hello!
Welcome to the Muppet Christmas Carol!
I am here to tell the story.
And I am here for the food.
My name is Charles Dickens.
And my name is Rizzo the Rat.
Hey, wait a second.
You're not Charles Dickens.
I am too.
No, a blue furry Charles Dickens who hangs out with a rat?
Absolutely.
Charles Dickens was a 19th century novelist.
A genius.
Oh, you were too kind.
Why should I believe you?
Well, because I know the story of a Christmas carol like the back of my hand.
Prove it.
All right.
There's a little mole on my thumb and a scar on my wrist from when I fell off my face.
No, no, no, no.
Don't tell us your hand.
Tell us the story.
Oh, oh, thank you.
Yes.
That is Rizzo the Rat with Charles Dickens.
Or is it Gonzo?
It is, of course, the Muppets Christmas movie, one of the greatest children's movies and perhaps the greatest interpretation of the Charles Dickens classic movie.
We probably won't be reviewing for reasons I will not get into, except that this is the last time I get to do this with my buddy, so we may have to open the aperture and just do a review of the, what is it, Eric?
75 prior episodes of Making Movies Great Again?
That is indeed true.
This will be episode number 76, just like the year 1776. And whilst I depart for a new mission inside the People's House, the White House, all of our prior episodes are available.
Make sure you go to Rumble, to the podcast platform of your choice.
Listen and watch all of our fun reviews of making movies that were great, great again.
But it's time to recommend to you somebody who will not be coming into the White House, at least not for the time being, unless I can drag him in there.
He is, of course, the man behind the superlative Mr. Reagan USA YouTube channel.
Chris Coles, Happy New Year.
Happy New Year.
Great to be here as always, Seb.
So, we're two weeks late with this review.
It is after Christmas.
Everybody needs to go and watch this because...
I'm just going to play one more clip before we move on to some other things.
This is a superlative movie.
And it may be, and I'm not just, you know, saying it because I chose it, one of Michael Caine's greatest ever...
Performances.
Why?
Because he may be surrounded by felt puppets with men having their hands up the puppet's bottoms, pretending to be chickens, frogs, Sam the American Eagle.
But Michael Caine, as Ebenezer Scrooge, takes this part as seriously as if he were playing King Lear, as a former thespian yourself.
I'd like you to react to this one clip of Scrooge with the ghost of...
It's Christmas future, right, Eric?
At the gravestone.
And this could be, you know, one of the greats.
This could be Richard Burton, Larry Olivier.
Let's play one more clip from A Muppet's Christmas Carol.
Ebenezer Scrooge.
Oh, please, spirit, no.
Hear me.
I'm not the man I was.
Why would you show me this if I was past all hope?
I will honor Christmas and try to keep it all the year.
I will live my life in the past, the present, and the future.
I will not shut out the lessons the spirits have taught me.
Tell me that I may sponge out the writing on this stone.
Wow, Chris, that's, I think that's called serious acting, isn't it?
Yeah, and it's helped, of course, by the score and good filmmaking just all around.
And you do kind of take it seriously.
You get lost in the characters.
We talked about this with other films like King Kong, where, you know, King Kong doesn't look super realistic.
To our modern eyes.
But as you're watching the film, you do get sort of like into it.
You start to believe it.
And this kind of has that aspect a little bit.
I want to talk a little bit about just the concept in general of A Christmas Carol.
And you've got this really timeless story.
I often talk in great films, you know, great films like Return of the Jedi, for instance.
You have what I call a redemption character.
And that character is a character who starts out as a villain, comes to realize his mistake, and then becomes one of the good guys by the end of the film.
This is, of course, the ultimate redemption story.
And I think it really parallels what we're going through today in America.
You've got this situation where we were on a great trajectory in America in 2016. We had kind of figured it out somehow.
We were going in a great direction.
And then we hit a speed bump.
Then we veered left.
Then we flew off a cliff.
And now we're somehow back on course with Donald Trump going back to the White House again, with you, sir, going back into the White House again.
So it's really a great film to end on because it's the ultimate redemption story.
And I think America right now is the ultimate redemption story as well.
Usually he waits until about the third segment to do that, but he has preempted us here today because he knows I want to talk about other things as well.
But yes, play this game at home, dear friends.
When you're watching a movie, especially a classic movie, it's called Doing the Chris Coles.
See if you can connect it to events in current politics in America today, because if it's a good movie, you will probably find some connection, some peg to hanging it on.
All right.
Let's...
Broaden the aperture since this is the last time that we will be meeting on America First.
You are not only an actor, you are, what do they call it, a content provider.
You are a writer, a scriptwriter as well.
I realized this a few years ago, and I'd like you to kind of unpack it for us as a person who knows how to build these arcs, for example.
I came to the conclusion that human beings, in addition to love and family and tribe, if you will, We function on stories.
The fuel that feeds us as entities with a soul made in the image of our Creator are stories from campfires to Homeric recitations of the Iliad and the Odyssey.
Why is this such a human thing, Chris?
The thing that we've been examining with our 76 movies?
You know, I was just thinking about this the other day because I thought, you know, Trump really has two jobs right now as president.
He's got to go in and he's got to make the changes that need to be made to make America great again.
But then he's got to communicate what he's done to the American people so that we understand very clearly what exactly he did.
Because the left is going to say, this is terrible.
This is racist.
This is sexist.
You're a horrible person.
He's going to say that.
And on the right, they're going to try to defend him.
But I think Trump did something really smart in bringing into his administration a lot of people who know how to speak to camera, who know how to speak to reporters.
You are one of the great communicators of our generation, sir.
And he's brought you in.
And you can discuss this stuff with anyone on any news network.
And that is, I think, going to be key because people love to hear a story.
They like things that make sense in their head.
And that's what a story does.
A story clarifies the meaning of what's happened.
It clarifies the direction that things are going.
Human beings, we don't necessarily want to do math.
We just kind of want to see the logic from A to B to C. And the story does that really well.
And you know who's done that really brilliantly over the past few decades?
Democrats.
Democrats tell the best stories.
They tell these heart-wrenching stories of a young man trying to just feed his family coming from...
You know, war-torn nation or, you know, in poverty and crossing the border and all this stuff.
And, you know, as conservatives, we say, well, what about all the drugs that are coming across?
What about all the crime that's coming across?
And they say, no, none of that's real.
The only thing that's real is these poor people coming across.
And, you know, they really do a great job of telling these great stories.
And they really convince the more gullible half of America.
Of their position, which is usually wrong.
I mean, I would say it's always wrong.
So we've got to become much better at communicating our stories, our messages, and I think we're going to do that.
Yeah, I usually hate this kind of, you know, when modern sociologists and what have you create jargon.
There's one phrase that I think hits what you're talking about, which is sense-making.
Stories help make sense of the lives we lead and what happens around us.
That's why they're powerful.
That's why you read your kids' bedtime stories.
That's why people binge, you know, eight episodes of a TV show because it helps them see representations of the things they are going through and make sense of them.

One word, sebastiangorka.substack.com.
All right, let's get a little bit philosophical because you are the master of telling stories.
Your videos go viral for a reason.
There's a good reason that Elon Musk reposts your videos.
President Trump's victory, Chris, as a man who...
Broke the record for incumbency with 74 million votes and then was indicted four times, shot in the head, had his home raided, broke that record with 77 million votes seven weeks ago.
How much of that success, and I know I'm asking you off the cuff here, is down to what you said previously.
That it's not just about politics.
It's not just about...
God bless Lara Trump and Scott Pressler and Charlie Kirk's organization and everyone else that went out there, did the ground game, knocked on doors, made sure people went to the voting stations.
But couldn't you say that the real victory is because this man, like a good movie, like a good writer, told the story of America in a way that people said, I remember that and I want that back, I remember that and I want that back, Chris.
Yeah, you know, I think because Trump is still running, you know, he was still running in 2024, just in the same way that he ran in 2020, a lot of people kind of forgot that, yeah, that, you know, That was a big part of the reason Trump ran, is because of who Trump is and the stories that Trump can tell, but also just the way he tells it, the way he talks about how we need to get back to certain values, certain ideas, how we need to make certain changes in America.
You know, Americans, we don't always understand the little fine details of politics.
I'm sure most of the people who listen to this show understand those things, but most Americans don't.
So how do you convince Americans who don't really understand politics that well that they should vote for Donald Trump?
And one thing that you always need with a great film, just like A Muppet Christmas Carol, just like any of the other films that we reviewed that we loved, you need a very charismatic leading man, main character.
And I think Donald Trump did an even better job than he did in 2020. He kind of matched his energy from 2016. And one thing I always said about Trump that DeSantis never really had, and people will get mad at me because they love DeSantis, but Trump is funny.
Trump can take any subject.
I mean, like, any subject.
He's talking about the fact that Joe Biden called Americans trash.
He jumped into a trash truck, a garbage truck.
With a high-vis vest on.
And then comes out and says, you know, I didn't want to wear the high-vis vest.
But they convinced me to wear it because they said it looked slimming.
And as soon as they said it looked slimming, I was like, I'm sold.
Put the vest on.
You know, that was some funny stuff.
So Trump, he doesn't just have the story.
He knows exactly how to tell the story.
And he is the leading man that was able to sell it.
And we all love the Trump energy.
We all love the whole Trump movement.
And a lot of it, it's really just down to Trump.
And I don't know if he gets as much credit as he should all the time, because the man is a legend.
Is it?
And he is funny.
I mean, it's hilarious.
I mean, the whole skit with the vest and everything else and making the fun.
He actually made fun of his comb-over on a couple of rallies, and it was just so funny.
But it's not just, he's not a comedian.
That's a comedian.
It's not just that he's funny, Chris.
It's the fact that...
It's not scripted.
I mean, you know the vest thing is not on the teleprompter.
You know the comb-over thing is not on the cue cards.
It's the authenticity of it, whether he's standing there, you know, in the McDonald's.
I mean, when he said at the Fry Station, wow.
Untouched by human hands.
And when he shucks the fries into the carton and then says, Hey, Margot, look at this!
Here, here, have...
This is the perfect carton of fries.
It's just real, isn't it?
Yeah, you know, he's not as slick as a lot of politicians.
We're not used to seeing somebody who is very natural.
And, you know, not everything is rehearsed, you know, like with Kamala Harris.
Every single thing was rehearsed, right?
And I remember at the time, you know, even in 2016. Reports, journalists, they would criticize Donald Trump.
They would make fun of him.
They kind of blew him off as kind of a joke.
But Americans really respond to authenticity.
That's really what a good actor does.
That's what a good YouTuber does.
A lot of my favorite YouTubers, they're not particularly slick operations.
What they are are people who can present to camera in such a way where you think this person believes what they're saying.
And that's the thing about Donald Trump, that you know that he believes what he's saying.
And I think that's what he's doing with his administration this time.
He's bringing people in who genuinely support him, who aren't going to leak, and who genuinely believe in this message of make America great again.
And I absolutely love that.
I think that's exactly what we need in this country.
And that's what we need from this administration are people that you really can trust and really are committed.
And I think everybody he's picked for this administration really is committed.
Like, lets me sleep well at night, you know?
There's so many things we have to be grateful for, but isn't one of them that, in addition to, you know, securing the border, crushing ISIS, fixing the economy...
Chris, he's made politics interesting and fun again.
Don't we have to be grateful for that?
Oh, yeah, yeah.
Look, we can talk all day about, you know, how excited we are about what's going to happen.
But at the end of the day...
We know there's going to be hiccups.
We know there's going to be a pushback by the left.
We know there's going to be problems in the world.
I mean, look, in just the last couple of days, there has been terrorist attacks.
There's been all kinds of weird stuff going on.
So it's not going to be a perfectly smooth ride going forward.
But it's important that we at least have some fun in this world.
There's going to be tragedy.
There's going to be difficult times.
And one thing that Trump did that's amazing is because he's such an entertainer, because he's so funny, because he's so charming.
He's made people sit up and watch politics.
Even if you don't like politics, you're now engaged with politics.
I've talked to people around the world, people who aren't even Americans, who now follow American politics because of Donald Trump.
Now, some people hate him!
But you cannot ignore him.
And I think that that's a really important part of what Trump's done is he's brought attention to these issues.
And the more you focus on politics, the more you focus on what's really going on in Washington, D.C., and even at the state level, you realize there's a lot of corruption and there's a lot of things that need to get fixed.
And I think the more conservative you become and the more MAGA you become, the more you pay attention.
So I think just Trump getting eyes on politics has been a really valuable thing.
Celebrate what you did, what President Trump did seven weeks ago.
Go to our website, get all your America First gear.
Look smart for the inauguration and make sure you have something to celebrate with, including the Teddy Roosevelt Dr. G cigars.
We spent years looking for a cigar worthy of the appellation of the Dr. G Liberty line.
Get yours at sebgorkastore.com.
That's S-E-B-G-O-R-K-A, sebgorkastore.com.
We're going to win so much, you may even get...
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.
I can't get enough of that cut.
That's not teleprompter.
That's genuine.
We're going to keep winning.
It's going to be too much for you.
And I'm going to say, no!
More winning is what we need.
Chris, in the last, I don't know, year, year and a half, we've been doing these amazing reviews.
And we're so grateful to you for doing it for free, getting up at 3 a.m., wherever you are, to do it.
You have been traveling the globe.
Give us a little bit of intel from the ground.
You say you talk to a lot of people.
What is their reaction, or what was their reaction, to what was happening to America under Biden-Harris, and what they think, what they thought of, and what they think of President Trump now?
Have more people woken up, as you say?
Is the TDS derangement syndrome still a problem in Europe, in Asia?
Give us a story.
Oh yeah, it's still a massive problem.
The crazy thing is, I don't know when this happened.
But in Europe, they started to apply to their news networks basically just the information they were getting from CNN. They didn't really have any other sources.
It was like CNN. I don't know.
Maybe they were getting it from MSNBC. Maybe they were getting it from, say, like the New York Times.
I assume the Associated Press.
The problem with that, of course, is that these are leftist organizations, excuse me, organizations.
And so they're only getting this one side of everything.
I don't know if it was necessarily sinister.
But that seems to be the only news that they get in Europe.
And in fact, that seems to be the only news they get throughout the rest of the world in terms of what happens in America.
So they have a very sort of left-wing view.
Anybody who watches the mainstream media around the world gets a very left-wing view of America.
And they're basically told Donald Trump is a racist.
And they clip out what Donald Trump says.
To these little sound bites that they try to make him look stupid, they try to make him look bigoted, whatever it might be.
And so you do meet a ton of people who just are brainwashed to think like that.
Now, because of the internet, we've kind of, what I like to call, democratized fame.
We've allowed people to become a well-known figure in media, in news media.
Who have not necessarily gotten through the gatekeepers of the mainstream media.
So you have somebody like Joe Rogan.
You have somebody like Ben Shapiro.
You have somebody like me, Mr. Reagan.
And your show should be hugely popular on YouTube.
Of course, YouTube tries to censor this, but it's still breaking through.
This new media on the internet is breaking through.
And so you will meet people all over the world now.
Who are starting to figure it out and starting to say, you know what, because I watched Joe Rogan, because I watched this show or that show, I started to figure out that actually Trump might not be the bad guy that everybody says he is.
And so yeah, there is, I would say there's still a problem around the world with them having a certain level of ignorance.
And what I like to say, it's not that they're ignorant, that they know so much that isn't so.
They've been told so much.
This is a famous line from Reagan.
They've been told so much.
From this CNN International or whatever that is wrong, that they don't really know how to get their brains out of it.
But because of the internet, because of the new media, because of the live streams and everything that everybody's doing on the right, on YouTube and on Rumble, yeah, we now have a little bit of an awakening throughout the world.
And you see it in Europe.
Europe, you see some of the governments starting to be headed up by, you know, right wing leaders, like in Italy and, you know, in the Netherlands.
And it's, it's actually magnificent.
It's actually kind of an amazing thing to see.
But yeah, I still think there's a lot of work to do, because the mainstream media does have a kind of monopoly on news all over the world.
And it's, we got a lot of work to do, for sure.
Do you think the legacy media is gasping in the final throes of a death spiral?
Or will it still cling on?
I think it's going to cling on, and here's the reason why.
I'm sitting there and I'm watching this, you know, these clips that you're playing from A Muppet's Christmas Carol, and it occurs to me, like, wow, this was really brilliantly shot.
It's kind of a funny thing.
You'd think this kind of jokey, funny, sing-songy movie would be shot in a sort of very bright way, very, you know, almost like a comedy.
But it's not.
It's shot like a dramatic film.
And this was like Jim Henson was like, I want to make this very serious.
I want to make this something that is respected.
And it is respected and good for him.
But you know what?
This is how the left thinks.
The left thinks, I'm going to use these high-quality cameras.
I'm going to shoot Joe Biden.
I'm going to shoot Kamala Harris.
I'm going to shoot Barack Obama on these high-quality cameras.
I think they brought Spielberg in at one point to try to help Kamala Harris with the campaign.
And it's like, yeah, if you get the best filmmakers in the world, You're going to tell the best stories in the world.
I think they also do that with CNN. I think they do that with MSNBC. If you watch our networks, Newsmax or Fox, and then you watch MSNBC or CNN, and I hate to say this, I don't want to say anything negative about conservative media, but they are a little bit more slick on CNN. They are a little bit more slick on MSNBC, and there's a certain percentage of the population who cares almost exclusively about the aesthetic.
They care almost exclusively about the appearance of being true or being professional as opposed to trying to work out what actually is the truth.
And people who watch Newsmax, they don't really necessarily care that they have the best graphics better than CNN or that they have the most slick presenters.
They care that they're getting the truth.
They care about that authenticity.
And so that's what we've got on the right.
But on the left, they do have that production value.
And I do think that hurts us, and that's something where we have to up our game, I think, in the coming years.
It's about the capture of the storytelling enterprise.
Some people are breaking through, but we have a lot of work to be done.
See how it should be done at Mr. Reagan USA on YouTube.
You must keep your nose to the grindstone.
Work hard, lad.
And one day, your life will be as solid as this very building.
I've been meaning to fix that shelf.
Yes, headmaster.
Well, young man, you have been apprenticed to a fine company in London.
Today, you become a man of business.
I'm looking forward to it, headmaster.
You will love business.
It is the American way.
It is the British way.
Yes, headmaster.
A little bit of miscasting there.
You shouldn't have hired maybe Sam the American Eagle as Scrooge's headmaster in Dickensian England.
However, I do love Sam the American Eagle.
And now, it's official!
As of this year, the bald eagle is America's official bird.
I don't know what took 249 years for that to happen, but it is now official.
Chris, what have you learned?
After you left Hollywood, branched out by yourself, have hundreds of thousands of people waiting with bated breath every time you post a new video, traveled the world as your own boss, what lessons would you give to other conservatives who understand what you understand,
which is we can't win We can't save the Republic until we tell the stories of our values effectively.
What lessons learned would you share?
Well, you know, it's kind of funny the way that I started because I was acting in Hollywood.
I was trying to write scripts and trying to get movies made and stuff like that.
I wasn't particularly successful at it.
And as soon as I came up with this idea, I want to do a YouTube channel, I immediately I knew it was going to be successful.
And that was a little bit difficult for me.
Because when you work in Hollywood, you are essentially sacrificing that career for another career.
But it's something that I felt like I was compelled to do, like I had to do it.
I wanted to do something that had meaning.
I wanted to do something that had purpose.
And I knew that this was something that was deeply needed in America at that time.
So I started my channel.
It was successful.
I'm actually very surprised with the Eagle thing.
I want to get back.
That's amazing.
I didn't even know about that Eagle thing.
But then later on, I started to do this livestream, and I called a buddy of mine named Jason.
And I said, Jason, you met Jason?
And I said, Jason, do you want to do this livestream with me?
Now, he also had a regular job, and he didn't necessarily want to put his face out there as a strong Trump conservative because he was a little bit afraid of what the ramifications of that might be with his job.
But he said, no, you know what?
We're entering in a period now where we're going to have to vote president again.
This is coming up to the 2024 election.
And he said, I have to do this for the future of my son.
And that was really powerful to me.
And I've always really respected him for stepping out and doing that show with me.
Because all Americans, I think, are a little bit afraid to say certain things in the current political climate.
We're afraid to say certain things about...
You know, whatever, different demographic groups.
You know, if you look at the demographics and you say black people commit more crime than white people, that's a fact.
That's a reality.
How do you deal with that?
Well, we're not allowed to say that.
A lot of people don't feel comfortable saying that.
And it's not a racist thing to say.
And maybe it's a cultural thing.
I mean, who really knows why that is?
But we need to be able to look at it realistically.
We need to be able to look at...
Everything realistically.
Why, you know, they say, oh, women get paid whatever it is, 73 cents for every dollar a man gets.
Well, people look into that and they said, well, oftentimes that's just because women oftentimes choose different jobs than men do.
So it's important to talk about these things openly, get to the truth, figure out what's really going on, and then if there really is a problem there, trying to fix that problem.
You do need to fix the border.
We do need to talk about these difficult issues.
And doing my show, that's one thing that I've always tried to push is to say, look.
You can talk about things where people are going to point to you and they're going to say, you're a racist, you're a homophobe, you're a sexist, and just talk about those things anyway.
If you're not really racist, you can talk about racial issues.
People say, oh, you're not allowed to talk about those issues because you're a white male or something like that.
Well, yes, you are, because you have a brain, and you can see things, and you can think about things.
And so I do think we need to have these conversations, not in a nasty way, not in an offensive way, but to talk about these things in a smart way, in a clear way, and casually and kindly, especially now that I think we're winning, you don't necessarily need to start a YouTube channel. especially now that I think we're winning, you don't necessarily You don't necessarily need to go on Newsmax or even to write a blog.
You don't necessarily need to be in the public eye.
But I think what everybody needs to do is just be willing to talk about difficult issues.
And I think a lot of people in America are.
are, we're a little bit more rogue than they are in, say, like in Europe or like, say, Sweden, where people are very, very polite about everything.
But if you're too polite and you tell the little white lies all the time to make everybody comfortable, a lot of people in society start to believe those lies.
And that becomes a little bit of a problem.
I've seen that in my travels.
In America, I think we're better at saying, I just want to know the cold, hard facts, the truth of what's going on, no matter how difficult it is.
But a lot of people are still afraid to talk about these things openly.
And I think we need to get a little bit better at that still.
Yeah, it's funny.
I've been doing a lot of interviews about coming into the administration.
And one of the obvious questions they ask, it's not very imaginative, but of course, it's a natural one is, you know, what is your priority?
What are you going to do for President Trump, and how different is your leadership going to be in counterterrorism?
And, you know, these moments where God just plugs the USB into your head, and words come out of your mouth, and it's a line I used once.
In an interview that has just so many people have texted me and said, oh my gosh, the simplicity.
And it came from the heart.
I said, we have one mission with the president and as senior director of counterterrorism.
It's to protect the innocent and to bring justice to evildoers.
I had nothing more to say.
I'm not going to talk about specific policies or flowery Washington, D.C. acronym-filled garbage.
Counterterrorism is about protecting the innocent and bringing justice to evildoers.
And the way people just sent that line, it was in a 2,000-word interview with me.
The way they sent that little phrase back to me tells me something, Chris.
People are hungry for the simple truth.
Oh, absolutely.
And the more we talk about this stuff...
I think the more likely it is that we're able to stumble upon these little nuggets, these perfectly executed expressions of truth.
And that's what you have there, a perfectly executed expression of the truth.
Somebody at one point said, because I always say, there's this common phrase, if you want to know what the left is doing, look at what they're accusing conservatives of.
And somebody said it so succinctly, and I don't know who it was, it was just a random person online, they said...
Every accusation is a confession.
And I thought that was so absolutely brilliant, so I use that all the time on my show now, and I didn't come up with that, but I absolutely loved it.
Yeah, every once in a while, every generation or so, we get somebody as eloquent as Sebastian Gorka, and you do come up with some brilliant stuff.
The funny thing about that is, you can go on for an hour on a monologue about one subject, and you can...
Dig into the nuance of those things.
And yet, every once in a while, the best thing to do is just to say something concisely and simply, concentrate it in its most pure form, and express it like that.
And if you can do that, that can be very, very powerful.
And I think we need more of that, actually.
Yeah, we need all Americans to do that.
Just speak the truth, cleave to the truth, as the good book tells us.
The truth will set you free.
All right, what's the best clip we can go out on, Eric, from the president?
We've had...
More winning.
Should we have the victory speech?
A little clip of the victory speech?
What should we do?
I always thought him getting up at Butler was a powerful one.
Okay, do it.
Fight, fight, fight.
All right, let's do it. let's do it.
I It's on t-shirts everywhere.
It's on mugs.
It's on memes.
You can hear him say, wait, wait, wait, as he takes control of his Secret Service tea towel.
But he doesn't even say the words fight, fight, fight.
You don't hear them.
You just see him mouth them.
He's out of mic range or whatever.
But just the power of that historic image that we have not Internalized in a requisite fashion.
You're a courageous man.
Are you confident that that moment could be a catalyst for other men and women to find courage to do what is required to save America and our civilization?
Oh, I certainly hope so.
You know, it was weird because you saw some people who were really, their minds were changed in that moment.
After that moment, you heard Trump talking a lot more about God.
And I thought that was really powerful.
You know, a man who doesn't talk too much about his faith is now saying, God saved my life and he saved my life for a reason.
I think that he's absolutely right in that.
But you also saw some leftists.
This is kind of weird.
You saw, like, Zuckerberg saying, you know what?
That was actually kind of inspirational.
Like you said, it's the most badass thing he's ever seen.
The most badass thing he's ever seen.
And how could it not be, right?
And Elon Musk comes out and he says, look, you know, you want a president who can do that.
You want somebody who can come out and they can put their fist in the air after getting shot and say, fight, fight, fight.
It's almost superhuman.
And the reason you want that isn't because it's cool.
I mean, it is cool.
Let's be honest, it's cool.
But the reason you want that is because, as I said before in this show today, It's not going to be a smooth ride this next four years.
It will be a bumpy ride.
There will be bumps in the road.
There are going to be difficult times.
What Trump has to do and what the administration has to do in the next four years is going to be extremely difficult.
I know that they're going to succeed.
But you can't succeed unless you have what Trump has.
Because there will be moments where he gets knocked down.
And he's got to stand back up.
He's got to put his fist in the air one more time.
And he's got to say, fight, fight, fight.
Every time he gets knocked down.
And I believe 100% he will.
Everyone in this administration will.
And I think every supporter of Donald Trump in America will do that too.
What do they say in Hollywood?
That's a wrap.

You have been a very good friend to this show to me personally.
