B
That's why we are here. Hey, everybody. Welcome to the Charlie Kirk Show. This is Andrew Colvett, affectionately known around these parts as producer Andrew. We forced Charlie to take some time off because, you know, he just won't do it if you don't force him to. The man is a machine. He works 20 hours a day. We're proud of him. But he's got to go sometimes. He's got to go. So in his stead, here I am. But more importantly, we have the one and only Dr. Sebastian Gorka from American First Salem Zone joining us. We're so honored to have you. Dr. Gorka, welcome to the Charlie Kirk Show.
C
Producer Andrew Greetings. It's honored to be with you.
B
Well, we couldn't be more excited to have you. There's a lot that we need to make sense of in the world today and I know our audience is going to be very excited to hear from you. Specifically, we touched on this yesterday. I just want to jump right in here. We got, you know, we were taught, we had Michael Knowles. We were talking about the Israel Conflict that is all over the news, everything. I mean, I'm looking at my monitor. Fox News is leading with it basically nonstop right now. Newsmax, the same. You are an expert on international affairs, foreign affairs. You've got a lot of background in that. I'm excited to talk to you about it specifically because I think a lot of people are confused. It's such an opaque origin story. I mean, this, this is a story that goes back to zionism in the 1800s, in the early 1900s. And you know, there's this conflict over the land. Who owns the land? Where does it come from? Where should we start? How do people need to start thinking about this Israel conflict? Why is it happening now? Make some sense of it for us.
C
Well, let's start with a tweet my friend Arsene Ostrovsky just posted. And it's a picture of him with his little baby on his shoulder hiding in a bomb shelter in Israel. And he simply says, here, 3am in Tel Aviv, hashtag Israel under attack from Hamas, and I'm shielding my baby in the bomb shelter. That's the reality. Now we can delve into the minutiae of Sheikh Jarrah, this region of East Jerusalem where there's been violence in the past few days because of Ramadan and between the local Arab residents and the Jews who live there. But that's really irrelevant. You don't want to get lost in the minutiae. That territory since 1967, including Gaza and West bank, that was captured by Israel. This is a nation that rebirthed itself after the Holocaust, after Shoah in 1948. And they said, this is our ancestral homeland. To be clear here, Islam, Islam started 600 years after Christianity. Judaism is a little bit older than even Christianity. So the idea that these are Palestinian territories or Arab territories or Muslim territories is utter propaganda. It is fallacious. This is the home of the Jewish and Israeli people. After 6 million of them were murdered during World War II, they reestablished Israel. We supported them. This tiny little island of democracy, of representative government that is multi ethnic, that has all types of individuals in the Knesset, all shades of skin color, all ethnicity, all socioeconomic background, that is our closest friend in the Middle East. And they are under constant, constant attack. And let's be clear here, don't take my word for it, don't take Dr. G's word for it. Go online, look at the footage just in my Twitter feed today, just the photographs of the rockets landing on Jewish schools in Jerusalem. I just have to say a prayer that God bless the Iron Dome. The footage of these rockets being intercepted by the Raphael Iron Dome system is absolutely incredible. But it boils down to one question or one representation of what's going on. We have one side that will destroy, destroy the Jews. We have the other that wants peace. It is simply that simple. If the Arabs, if the Palestinians laid down their arms, there would be peace. If Israel laid down their arms, there would be another holocaust. That's all your listeners need to know.
B
I completely agree. But, Dr. G, I want to talk about this. The muddying of the waters that's happening. And, you know, Charlie's in his 20s. I'm in my early 30s. This is a debate that felt like it crystallized in older generations in past presidencies. And to Joe Biden's small credit, I'll give him small credit. He's trying to create a new sort of wave of the Democrat Party. Wants to be the new progressive leader. He wants to be fdr. He's turning out to be more like Jimmy Carter. But he is at least somewhat paying some lip service to Israel in this. And now I've got critiques. Jen Psaki's basically chastising them. I know all the details, but it's a far cry from what's happening with Rashida Tlaib, who was spotted in D.C. by the way, with a sign, somebody who's with her, it says, Israel is the same as Nazi Germany. And this was at an anti Israel protest in D.C. and Rashida Tlaib was the guest speaker. So at least there's a little bit of stability at the very top. Again, I have my critiques. We can critique it. But as you get younger and younger and younger, this debate is getting muddied, even on the right. I saw a tweet. It was a question from a friend of ours at the show, Eliza Schaefer from the Blaze, asking a very honest question. He said, I always hear everybody say that Israel's our greatest ally, but why? You know, he's like, we spend a lot of money helping them with their defense. What do we get in return? So what I'm seeing is that even amongst younger conservatives, this debate is getting more confusing for them. I mean, how do we make sense of that and how do we reverse it?
C
Well, first things first, I have to push back on your depiction of Biden. Biden has no stance. Biden is a shell. He's a cipher. He's a senile old man who can't even read the teleprompter. The idea that he represents some kind of reasonable balance against the anti Semitic members of the squad, like Rashida Tlaib or aoc, who even supported, proudly, and to this day supports the anti Semitic BDS movement. If you're perceiving that, Andrew, I think that's just a temporary. He may be trying to posit that, but he'll genuflect. He'll bow down to the extremists given any pressure. So with regards.
B
Look, I agree with you on that. I have dramatic differences of opinion with the way he's handling this. Don't get me wrong. What I'm saying is that even his own party, the left wing, is mad at him right now because he's not going full fledged in defense of the ethnic cleansing against the Palestinians.
C
But on the record, on the record, his Secretary of State, Antony Blinken, just gave $234 million to the Palestinian Authority, which is two weeks ago. And what happens? Rockets are launched yesterday. So that's his Secretary of State.
B
Well, and these rockets are coming from Iran. Right. And so we can take it one step further, and their posture towards Iran is disastrous.
C
Right. We can talk about Iran and the JCPO in another segment. But look, you're absolutely right. This is incredibly. You use the phrase muddied. It's muddied on purpose, on left and right. And people who ring into my show, who challenge me on my love for Israel, I don't want to have anything to do with them. The young Pat Buchananites who think that Israel is the problem. Israel's only a problem if you believe in representative government and you believe in freedom and liberty. If you want to side with terrorists, I mean, I tweeted it out today, very simply, I stand with Israel and I want all the terrorists to be crushed under hellfire. It's that simple. Okay? And the idea that somehow Israel is the problem. Israel is a tiny, tiny country of a couple of million people surrounded by a sea of dozens of Arab and Muslim states, and Israel's the problem. Come on, guys. Israel, we have a culture. Not just amongst the Arab fundamentalists, but in the Palestinian territories of Gaza, of the West Bank. I've been there. I've been to Israel at least a dozen times. Teaching a culture of death. Israelis don't teach a culture of death.
A
Look, by now you've all heard me talk about mypillow and how Mike has done it again by introducing his. My slippers. Mike Lindell. He's got a lot of ambition. He's a patriot. He loves his country.

B
Now, Dr. Gorka, they've already lobbed over a thousand rockets at Israel. These are rockets likely that come from Iran. We're talking about unfreezing billions of dollars of money so that Iran can continue to fund terrorism throughout the Middle East. But this is, I think, you know, you and I are having a conversation about the changing view of Israel and why it's so important that the conservatives stand by Israel in the region, because Israel's a culture of life. Hamas and the terrorists, designated terrorists are culture of death. But I don't know that that message is getting through. And what can we do to educate people? What do they need to know? What's the linchpin that they need to know about? How this. This is not ethnic cleansing. Right, Dr. Gorko? It's not right. This is not apartheid. This is not, you know, Israel is not the Nazis.
C
Yeah. And no, Israel are not the Nazis. The Nazis tried to exter. Exterminate all the Jews on the planet. So it's just. What bizarro world are we living in where we're seeing Rashida Tlaib, who, by the way, said that as an American congresswoman, she's proud of her Palestinian identity. You kind of think, what? Hang on a second. There's a problem here. It's Ilhan Omar, who. Another member of the squad says that Israel is all about the Benjamins and that it's an evil nation that has hypnotized the West. Well, let's just stop for a second, guys. You don't have to read the book I wrote about this issue, Defeating Jihad, which walks you through everything you need to know about these groups. But what is the culture. What are the values of the people who are fighting the Israelis? So let's just ignore what Israelis for a second. Maybe you think they're the bad guys. What is the culture of those who are now lobbing those Katyusha rockets onto Israeli schools? It's a culture of Muslim fundamentalism. It is worship of the jihadi suicide bomber. The Palestinian Authority pays the families of Palestinian suicide bombers. It is a culture of extremism where if you are an infidel, meaning a Christian or a Jew or. Or an apostate Muslim, you must be killed. And it is fundamentally a culture of theocratic dictatorship. We Christians believe in religion, but we understand when Jesus said, render unto Caesar that which is Caesar's, There is the state and there is religion. There is no distinction in the Muslim world between the two. The Quran, I've read it. You need to read it.
B
You.
C
There is the idea that you can separate politics from religion is un. Islamic to true believers. So if you don't like Israel, guess what? You are, by dint of that decision, siding with Muslim theocratic fundamentalists who worship suicide bombers. I don't know. I don't think that's very American.
B
Well, Dr. Gorkhai, I think you are absolutely right. Of course we see eye to eye on this. But. But you forgot an important one. You forgot Rashida Tlaib saying that she gets warm feelings when she thinks about 9 11. You know, it's like, no. Or was it the Holocaust? Either or.
C
No, no, it was the Holocaust. No, no. And then it was. It was Ilhan Omer saying that in 9 11, some people did something. Not 3,000Americans killed in 102 minutes. No, no, no. Some people did something that. I mean, this is the broader. If you're not interested in foreign policy and very few Americans are, that's okay. The broader, the more important issue is the Democrat Party has been taken over by the radicals. This is the reality a few generations ago. Jfk, okay, Democrat president would not be allowed into the Democrat Party today. Scoob Jackson would not be allowed. If you are pro life, if you're strong on national security, if you don't hate America, you can't be a Democrat today. And that's where it all begins. You have to hate America to be a Democrat.
B
I strongly believe that if there was a pro American socialist, if Liz Warren actually got behind very pro American ideas, she would take over the country. If we had a pro American, sort of left of center, probably far left, let's be honest, populist leader in this country, perhaps like Elizabeth Warren, perhaps somebody else. That message, I believe, would resonate like none other right now. Just given, given where the country's at, I fear that that would be a devastating blow. So I'm actually sort of relieved that that person hasn't emerged. What's your thoughts?
C
So I dearly hope, I presume it isn't the case, but I dearly hope there are no Democrat strategists listening to Charlie's show right now. But because that mattered. Just medium matter. Hey, are you there? Hey, Zach, get typing, because you might like this bit. So if it is not an overstatement to say that in 2016, it wasn't true in the last election because that was just the machine Democrats getting in bed with the radicals. But when it was really Bernie ascending before Hillary stole it from him in 2016, what we witnessed in America, and this is, you can see this elsewhere in other parts of the world, left and right don't really make any sense anymore. The old taxonomy of politics is starting to break down.
B
Completely agree.
C
And what we have are competing populisms. You have the national populism that nations are good. That's like Brexit, that's like Bibi Netanyahu, like Modi in India, where nations should be strong, strong nations that are democracies are good for the world. And then you have the populism of the socialists that we need more globalism and more multilateralism. We have to look at the world through material lenses, through class lenses like Bernie.
B
But
C
the weakness that has is that the socialism of the Bernie Sanders and even the Warrens of today, and especially the AOCs and the squad, is anti American. Anything that is a problem in the world, whether it's climate, whether it's war, whatever it is, is of course, because America is guilty. If there were a candidate who came along who said, hey, I love America, but I want more equality and equity, that would be really dangerous. Yeah, that would be really dangerous for conservatives. So I believe my old boss, Donald Trump is going to run in 2024. I think given the last 117 dates in America. I mean, there's a little gas station outside my house. I have never, in 12 years, I've never seen a line outside the gas station. This morning there was a line. So if what has happened in the last 117 days since Sleepy Creepy took over persists, the Democrats are going to get shellacked. You know, they may try and steal the election again, but they will be shellacked in the House and the Senate. And I think Donald Trump could potentially wall straight back into the White House. So God willing, they're not listening to this because we don't need a Democrat who likes America to be the head of the party.
B
Well, you know, this is what's interesting is that, and I don't actually think we're at risk of this. I wanna give you an example of why I think this Bernie Sanders in 2005 was he backed an amendment to dismantle the diversity visa lottery and basically eliminate 50,000 green cards. He supported stricter immigration limits. The other thing is, you go far enough back, you get Cesar Chavez was going around California beating up illegal immigrants. I mean, these guys were thugs. People don't like to talk about that anymore. They, you know, he's the patron saint of Hispanic Americans. It's not, that's a completely false narrative, as they've done with so much of their ahistorical propaganda. But here's the thing. Now the party has completely bullied somebody like Bernie Sanders into accepting this open borders nonsense. Yeah. I wanna read you a quote from Milton Friedman here. He says, it's obvious you can't have free immigration and a welfare state. He warned. So this is the fundamental problem with their entire ideology, their plank right now that they're saying, hey, open borders. We've got nearly 200,000 abductions at Southern border right now. We've got a plummeting American population where I think our replacement is about 2.1 per mother, 2.1 children per female, where I think around 1.6. So we're not replacing ourselves anymore. So their answer is gonna be, let's import the next generation of Americans because diversity is our strength. Dr. Gorka and I find that's actually kind of an interesting conversation with somebody like yourself because you are an immigrant to America. You have made our country stronger. So it's not that, that can't be true, just not like this.
C
Let's not forget that the speech Hillary Clinton gave to a group of bankers before she became the presidential nominee for the Democrat Party, which was leaked, in it, she stated her dream quote, is to have a borderless hemisphere that means no border from Canada all the way to the bottom of Latin America. If you have a borderless hemisphere, guess what happens. America ceases to exist. But this isn't some kind of rhetorical flourish behind closed doors to a bunch of people who are paying you half a million dollars to give a 20 minute speech. The current Secretary of DHS has said this. I mean, just last week, Alejandro Mayorkas who's been a radical illegal immigrant proponent before he became a cabinet member of the Biden administration, said that borders should no longer divide us. Well, hang on a second, then. What is the point of a border?
B
What's the point of America?
C
What's the point of the Constitution? There is no America left. The question is, is there a rational Democrat out there? And right now, I don't see it. Let's go back. I like to hearken back to, you know, I'm a legal immigrant. But let's talk to Americans of your father's generation, your grandfather's generation. Jfk, for all his foibles, his affairs and everything else, was a hardcore patriot. Not only did he serve this nation in uniform, man alive, he went up with Khrushchev toe to toe, and he was prepared to blockade Cuba to stop the Soviets putting nuclear missiles 100 miles off the coast of America. And could you imagine a Democrat going toe to toe with anyone in terms of not acquiescing to the Kremlin? I mean, look, can we just. One thing in the news. This oil shortage that I'm witnessing outside my house at the gas station, that's 17 states in America. There's no way a private Russian hacking enterprise did that. They did that with the acquiescence of the Kremlin. Vladimir Putin, why? Because guess what? Donald Trump isn't president. That's how dangerous things have become. Palestinians are shelling Israelis. Russia has circled Ukraine. 17 states are now having gasoline shortages. And, Andrew, we are 117 days into this, into this administration, right?
B
Yeah. It took us 100 days to go from energy independence to gas shortages on the Eastern seaboard and the highest gas price since 2008. When you adjust for inflation. And it's only going up, it's only going up. And this is what really irks me, Dr. Gorka, is that the Biden administration has the gall to say when asked about this hacking of our grid here, basically our infrastructure, that it's, quote, a private sector decision, talking about how they're, you know, they're handling the gas infrastructure, you know, situation. They. I have never. And I don't think this is getting covered because the, you know, the mainstream news media is completely absent here. I mean, somehow Biden is still getting 60%, you know, and that's. I think, honestly, I think it's more than 60% favorable news coverage. They're saying he's getting 60% favorable news coverage. So it's just crickets out there. Right? Meanwhile, they are gaslighting the American public. They are rewriting history. We say, oh, it's a crisis at the southern border. It's not a crisis challenge and you know, we're dealing with it. It's under control. The border's closed. Well, the border's wide open and everybody knows it. All the bad guys know the truth and the American left is silent.
C
So I have a new TV show on Newsmax. It's called the Gorkha Reality Check. It's every Sunday night. You guys should check it out.
B
Much needed.
C
And I decided, well, if the mainstream media. I'm not a journalist, guys, I'm former deputy to the president who has a radio show. But if the mainstream media isn't going to cover this non crisis, well, guess what, I'm going to spend 1000 bucks on a camera and some plane tickets. And I took my radio show producer and myself and we went to the border with a camera and we got out of the sheriff's truck, his patrol car. Within 30ft of, of getting out of the truck, we saw more evidence of human trafficking than I filmed it. It was on the show last week. Dozens and dozens of carpet shoes, overshoes that they put on their shoes to mask their tracks through the desert. Jugs, marijuana carrying equipment, camouflage gear. This was in 30ft of the truck. But there's no crisis and we have administration who said we inherited a broken immigration system. Andrew, they're right. It was broken because it stopped illegal immigrants.
B
Now it, now it's fixed them.
C
Yes, now it's fixed 6,000 illegal immigrants a day. That's what the Democrat Democrats want.
B
I love that. So in their own mind, they're not lying. They just haven't told you that they changed the goal, the aim. They moved the goalpost. That's incredible. I mean, I love that. Take federal law enforcement at the US Mexico border stopped 178,622 people trying to enter the country illegally. Now what scares me most about it, and I fear it's the least talked about thing even on the right. We don't talk about this enough is the gotaways. They are stretching these border agents so thin, they're catching record numbers of illegals coming into the country. They can't possibly keep up with everybody that's coming.
C
They're not allowed to. So watch the footage. We did an interview with Sheriff Lamb of Pinal County. We did an interview with a local rancher who's scared for his life and his family's life. This is what they told us. So this is Pinal County, 60 miles from the border massive county in Arizona, he's got 200 deputies. Only 25 are on duty at any one time for the whole county when they pull over a truck, literally, they've got ford explorers with 24 illegals in them. 24. When they pull them over, if nobody has a criminal record, if the guy who's ferrying 24 illegals across the border, if he doesn't have a criminal record, they have to let them go because the feds, dhs, mayorkas has told cbp, has told ice, we're not picking unless they arrest a mass murderer, we're not going to pick them up. So what happens pooro the sheriff who has to protect that county has to let them go.
B
Andrew They've been advocating for defund ICE and abolish ice and they've essentially done it de facto. And that's what's terrifying. And Americans don't know yet.

So have you ever browsed in incognito mode? It's probably not as incognito as you think. And why would it be? Incognito mode, like the Chrome browser itself, is a Google product. And Google has made its fortune by tracking your movements online. There's even a $5 billion class action lawsuit against the company in California where it's accused of secretly collecting user data. Google's defense incognito does not mean invisible. So how do you actually make yourself as invisible as possible online? ExpressVPN turns out that even in incognito mode, your online activity still gets tracked and data brokers still get to buy and sell your data. One of these data points is in your IP address. Data harvesters use your IP to uniquely identify you and your location. But with ExpressVPN, your connection gets rerouted through an encrypted server and your IP address is masked. Every time you connect to ExpressVPN, you get a random IP address shared by other ExpressVPN customers. That makes it harder for third parties to identify you or harvest your data. Best of all, ExpressVPN is super easy to use no matter what device you're on, phone, laptop or smart tv. All you have to do is tap one button for instant protection.

B
reports. You know, mind you take this with grain of salt. This is from CNN but they're saying that all but Representative Ken Buck of Colorado left, while Liz Cheney from the Republican side. Are you happy this is happening? Is it once and for all, Ding dong, the witch is dead. Where are we at?
C
All right, I'll give you the good and the bad news. So the good news is that, you know, as I said today on Twitter, maga1, rhinos0. This should have happened a long time ago. She was the conference chair. Now the conference chair is one job to corral the GOP together on the Hill and to make sure they're all singing off the same sheet of music. It's not to attack the former president or to attack supporters of the president who are also members of the House. So this woman had a political death wish of some sort. But she said today, and I'm quoting, I just got this off Twitter, she said the following after she was kicked out of her position as the third highest Republican in the House. I will do everything I can to ensure that the former president never again gets anywhere near the Oval Office. I mean, she sounds like aoc. And don't forget, this is the woman who was endorsed in the last week by Nancy Pelosi, the Washington Post, and O.J. simpson. So this is the perfect exemplar of the rhino class. The good news is it's gone. Bad news is it should have happened right after she voted against President Trump. Trump in the impeachment. But here's the broader issue. So right after the election, I met with the very top of the gop and I said to them the following thing. If you don't want to be swept into the ash heap of history in the next few months, you have to show publicly to the 74 million Americans who voted for Donald Trump, the most any president has ever received in American history, that you are serious on two issues. Number one, big tech censorship, and number two, voter integrity and election integrity. I'm sorry, Andrew. I mean, this is great news. Liz Cheney, sod off. Go to hell. But where's the GOP on these issues? November was last year. It was six months ago. Where is the GOP on election integrity and where are they on big tech?
B
That's the big issue. And all of you know, listen, we get thousands of emails about this at the Charlie Kirk Show. And if you have questions, everybody remember freedomarliekirk.com Send in your questions. I completely agree. Everybody in the base is worried about election integrity. If we do not fix election integrity, I completely agree with you. We're gonna have Georgia Senate runoff 2.0. Completely agree. They're still gonna try and game the system. The left is still going to try and gin up votes with drop boxes and mail in balloting. This is the new era, this is the new normal that they're going to approach this with. So I completely agree with you. Hey everybody, thank you for listening in. I hope you enjoyed that conversation with Dr. Sebastian Gorka. He's a true patriot and very insightful in many different ways and he's going to listen. We all have to feel sorry for him. He is in the belly of the beast located right there in D.C. so sad for him that he has to live there, but good for all of us for some of the insights that he can bring because of that. Guys, if you want to support the show and what we're doing here in Charlie's absence, we would be honored. Charliekirk.com support when you do that, you give us the courage to speak our mind freely and boldly without fear of retribution or boycotts or whatever. So please consider doing that@charliekirk.com support thank you so much for joining us.

Episode: A Foreign Policy Expert's Take on Israel-Palestine with Dr. Sebastian Gorka
Date: May 13, 2021
This episode of The Charlie Kirk Show, guest-hosted by producer Andrew Colvett, features an in-depth conversation with Dr. Sebastian Gorka, former Trump adviser, on the escalating Israel-Palestine conflict and wider ramifications for U.S. foreign and domestic policy. The discussion spans the origins and realities of the Israel-Palestine debate, generational shifts in conservative views, critiques of Democratic leadership, U.S. border security, and GOP internal battles.
Historical Background: Dr. Gorka starts by dismissing “minutiae” like the recent Sheikh Jarrah dispute, instead placing the conflict in the context of Israel’s rebirth after WWII and the Holocaust (03:06).
Jewish Connection to the Land: Gorka affirms Israel’s right to the land based on ancient and modern history, vehemently rejecting the “Palestinian territories” narrative as propaganda.
"If the Arabs, if the Palestinians laid down their arms, there would be peace. If Israel laid down their arms, there would be another holocaust. That's all your listeners need to know." — Dr. Sebastian Gorka (05:27)
Current Realities: Gorka describes present-day conditions with personal stories from friends hiding in bomb shelters and lauds the Iron Dome’s role in saving lives.
Generational Divide: Andrew and Dr. Gorka note the Israel debate has become less clear-cut among younger conservatives, with some questioning continued U.S. support (06:08).
Biden’s Stance and Democrat Divisions: While Biden pays “lip service” to Israel, Gorka contends he lacks conviction and will bow to the “anti-Semitic” radical left within the Democrats (07:53).
"Biden has no stance. Biden is a shell. He's a cipher. He's a senile old man who can't even read the teleprompter." — Dr. Sebastian Gorka (07:53)
Confusion and Misinformation: Gorka and Andrew warn that leftist and fringe-right “muddying of the waters” is deliberate, designed to undermine support for Israel.
Accusations of Anti-Semitism: Gorka cites statements from Rep. Rashida Tlaib and Ilhan Omar, accusing them of anti-Semitic rhetoric and aligning with “a culture of death” (12:32).
"If you don't like Israel, guess what? You are, by dint of that decision, siding with Muslim theocratic fundamentalists who worship suicide bombers. I don't know. I don't think that's very American." — Dr. Sebastian Gorka (14:26)
Broader Cultural Battle: Gorka connects anti-Israel sentiment to a broader leftist trend he sees as anti-American and hostile to Western values.
Iran and U.S. Policy: The discussion highlights concerns about the Biden administration’s posture towards Iran and funding that may indirectly support attacks on Israel (09:15).
Failings in Policy: Gorka predicts dire consequences if American leadership continues to weaken, citing emboldened adversaries like Russia and border instability (22:11).
"There is no America left. The question is, is there a rational Democrat out there? And right now, I don't see it." — Dr. Sebastian Gorka (22:11)
Firsthand Reporting: Gorka shares his own reporting from the southern border, where he witnessed signs of human trafficking and the strain on local law enforcement (25:02).
Policy Change: Both speakers assert that the Biden administration has essentially enacted de facto open borders, ignoring or downplaying the scale of illegal immigration ("moved the goalpost") (26:15).
"They have to let them go because the feds ... we're not picking [them] up unless they arrest a mass murderer, we're not going to pick them up." — Dr. Sebastian Gorka (26:55)
Impact on Law Enforcement: Sheriff and rancher testimonies from Arizona highlight the difficulty for local deputies and lack of federal backup.
Cheney’s Removal: Gorka sees Liz Cheney’s removal from GOP leadership as overdue, framing it as a victory for “MAGA” over “RINOs” (29:41).
Election Integrity: Gorka believes the GOP’s survival hinges on taking strong stands on voter and election integrity and fighting big tech censorship (31:48).
"Where is the GOP on election integrity and where are they on big tech?" — Dr. Sebastian Gorka (31:48)
The episode is unapologetically combative and direct, with a clear conservative lens. Dr. Gorka is intense and emphatic, frequently drawing sharp lines between "cultures of life" (Israel/West) and "cultures of death" (Hamas/terrorists). There is a strong distrust of mainstream narratives and Democratic leadership, with repeated calls for conservative activism and vigilance.
This episode delivers a vigorous defense of Israel and critiques of both Democratic and internal Republican leadership. Dr. Sebastian Gorka frames the Israel-Palestine conflict as a struggle between civilization and barbarism, predicts adverse outcomes from present U.S. policy shifts, and argues for a return to patriotic populism and election reform within the GOP. The conversation is interspersed with policy analysis, culture war rhetoric, and firsthand reporting, offering clear battle lines for listeners engaged in America’s ongoing ideological debates.
