Transcripts For CSPAN2 In Depth Sebastian Gorka 20240713

Nonstate actors but from old nationstate adversaries who have learned from the change right at the end of the Twentieth Century and to understand the only way to defeat us is by using irregular or indirect means of attack, the assassination of general soleimani fit into that theory . It did because of who he was, his in official title. Thank you for having me on this show. The shadow commander. He wasnt a Major General in the regular Army Commanding divisions in a normal battle where you face off in a theater of combat and everything is aboveboard, the battle of the bulge, this isnt the first gulf war. This is an individual who used proxy forces in Six Continents including the us and the recent attempt against the saudi ambassador to wage irregular warfare using means the weaker power developed against a far more powerful adversary, the United States is no longer a superpower. We are a hyperpower, nobody can come close to us in a conventional capacity. We have 12 Nuclear Aircraft carriers, more special forces than most countries have soldiers. How do you take on a nation as powerful as us . You use indirect means, proxies and soleimani was the commander of that kind of warfare for larger state sponsors of terrorism today, Islamic Republic of iran. Host you write that we are not interventionists but we are not interventionists. When it comes to this president yes. As strategists for his candidacy it was not hard decision for me to agree to work for him because i realized this is a man who is proud of his country, proud of being an american but had enough of what he called during the campaign stupid wars, the ideas you might call neoconservative, neoliberal that america can go to the middle east, central asia, create democracies at the end of a gun barrel. He doesnt wish to change other peoples regimes but when there is a threat as there was this weekend to our nation, to our citizens he takes Decisive Action. I was talking to members of the administration the day after the strike and they said the president received, quote, exquisite intelligence not only of where he was but of his intent in coming weeks executed tax not only in iraq but syria and libya which would have resulted in the deaths of hundreds of us americans. When donald trump received intelligence like that he doesnt talk about redlines, he takes action, one of the most dangerous men in the world is now dead. Susan rice, former National Security adviser in the Obama Administration and New York Times writes this, that the escalatory cycle began in may of 2018 when donald trump recklessly ignored the advice of his National Security team and the opposition of our allies in unilaterally withdrawing from the Iran Nuclear Deal displayed irans full adherence to its terms. Full adherence . Has susan rice become a comedian . The escalation began in 1979 when americans were taken hostage for over a year in the iranian embassy, thats when the escalation began. It began when soleimani, theres a report that soleimani was the man responsible for the deaths of at least 603 American Service men and women in iraq. If one of your viewers sees a veteran with missing limbs today if you are traveling through an airport and see somebody on prosthetic limbs, lost an arm because of an ied it is in all likelihood the result of a that iran gave melissas in iraq, that person is limbsless and that is when the escalation began. I when i was in the white house the president asked me in the oval office what do we do about the iran deal inherited from obama and i said kill it. This is a deal that when it was inked the then secretary of state john kerry said we know some of these funds, 140 billion, some of these funds will be used to sponsor terrorism. If you or i, there was a copy in dc a few years ago who was sympathetic to isis and wanted to send them 500 he was doing so through an fbi agent, that individual is now sitting in a federal prison because he is guilty of the federal crime of Material Support to terrorism. 500. If you or i did that we would be in prison. The Obama Administration released 140 billion which we know in part was used to fund the operations and terrorism commanded by Major General soleimani. 70,000 us troops in the middle east, 5000 currently in iraq, the Iraqi Parliament voted to get rid of foreign military. The middle east is not a problem we can solve. The president understands that. The metric, the measurement, the yardstick is what are the national interests. His first reaction, his first gut instinct is always how do we bring the boys home . Can we bring them home from wherever they are, afghanistan, iraq, the good news is this is a businessman, a pragmatist who understands it is not only not our job to try to change other countries to be reflections of ourselves but it is not feasible in afghanistan or iraq, this is why i wrote my second book, we are there for the same reasons we deployed in october of 2000 want to be sure these territories are never ever again used to execute mass casualties attacks on the soil of the United States or citizens around the world. That is our reason for being there and can be done with a smaller footprint than under either the bush or Obama Administration. Host . Com you wrote american troops had the purpose to destroy the physical caliphate of isis. One of the things im proud of is dont know if you recall, the second Obama Administration, First American was told isis is junior varsity, you dont have to take it seriously, then once we had withdrawn from iraq under Obamas White House then the caliphate was reestablished, theocratic empire was reestablished for the First Time Since it had been dissolved by ataturk in 1924, then suddenly obama changed his tune and set isis, Islamic State is just a threat we have to come to terms with, a generational fit. Our children, our grandchildren will be dealing with isis. When we came into the white house we had a different vision. I credit steve bannon. He said no, isis can be destroyed if we get out of the way of our military, crippling rules of engagement. This is unclassified. We have fighter pilots, people in the air over isis convoys with live video feed being told you cannot take out that convoy. The lawyers got in the way, the tactical interference by the Obama Administration had to be dismantled and that is why steve said we have to have a simple target, a talking point everyone can understand it is the destruction of the physical caliphate. When the president made it clear, i have your back and you can do this we destroyed the caliphate in five months, something we had been taught was a generational threat we have to live with with god and to your the front pages of the newspapers, the videos, the decapitation of us journalists, the immolation of jordanian fighter pilots, that is all gone because we have finally decisive commanderinchief in the white house and the former senator from illinois named obama said elections have consequences. Do they ever. Daymac your first book in 2016, defeating jihad you wrote about president obama did his keenness for hellfire missiles were present a better understanding of the threat to america and greater commitment to winning the war against jihad . Strangely enough it didnt, you wrote. As one highranking special forces general shared with the president obama and his team see the kinetic option such as drone strikes as the, quote, easy button. Thinking has become so and so is a member of al qaeda, find them, launch a drone, kill him, then we will prevent the next 9 11. Unfortunately, you write that this logic is not only simplistic, it is dangerous, isnt that how we took out general soleimani . What was missing, the second half of what was missing is the idea, not the idea, the of out policy platform that ideology is irrelevant, terrorism is the result of disenfranchisement, remember the beginning of the Obama Administration, john brennan would become the president s cia director, terrorism is the result of upstream factors, the result of poverty like of education. If that were to have india would be terrorist, half of china would be terrorist and they are not. The Obama Administration defrauded the concept of when we find the real bad guys it is whack him all, a phrase i use in defeating jihad. Just the idea the president of the United States had a secure tablet on which he had the socalled threat disposition matrix on which the locations of terrorist masterminds would be shared with and he would decide which terrorists we should kill today, that is sheer insanity. Imagine eisenhower or churchill choosing which commander to kill . That is not the job of the president. When we arrived in the white house we inherited 420 obama holdovers in the National Security council. Do you know how many work in the National Security council under eisenhower . 25. Nobody can tell me eisenhowers globe was less complicated than our globe today. Under Ronald Reagan it was only 75 individuals. They replicated they made what should have been strategic a tactical function and most important of all they missed the ideology. Which saudi engineering student, dont become suicide bombers on 9 11 because they are poor or uneducated, these are people with maas. The head of al qaeda is an m. D. The Obama Administration said i ideology is relevant, islam is irrelevant, thiS Administration sees it differently and if you want to understand where we are going, read the president s be from riyadh to our muslim allies, read his incredible speech in warsaw where he talks about irony being evil, not it is an evil ideology just as fascism was an ideological threat, just as the soviet union was an ideological threat, global jihadist him isnt about poor people, it is about those who subscribe to the jihadist ideology and the only way for humans to live is the under a global caliphate. When you look at newspapers into the broadcast about what happened to general soleimani there is a prediction that this could lead to world war iii. It is quite stunning how in the last 72 hours world war iii was trending on social media. What world do these people live in. Do they really think when somebody comes up with a criticism of an action the best place to start, take politics out of it. What is the individual critic positing, they are saying we shouldnt have killed soleimani . Man whose hands are drenched in the blood of at least 603 us service men and women, who had been responsible for the maiming of thousands of others, this man who we knew according to exquisite intelligence was on the cusp of initiating operations and three countries that would have killed hundreds of us citizens, let alone our arab muslim allies, leaving that man alone to do his business is better in what world . Anybody who is not cheering for when obama killed osama, from when we and conan the wonder dog took out baghdadi and isnt cheering when a murderous incarnate evil individual like soleimani, they need to examine their conscience because i dont care what your politics are or what god you pray to, dont care if you are an atheist or who use go to bed with or who your skin color is, examine your conscience if you think that person didnt deserve to become a pile of ashes. How did you get to know donald trump . Guest i thought i was at the pinnacle of my career. I have special regard for our devil dogs. I was in my third year teaching at the war college, preparing for a class before Corey Lewandowski who i didnt know from a hold on the grounds that im the Campaign Manager for candidate trump in summer of 2015 and he said candidate trump is preparing for the gop debate on National Security, that was the fall debate. What i consider meeting with candidate trump and help prepare him for that. I said sure and i flew to new york, i went to trump tower, to his office. I sat down with him closer than we are, we had this incredible blue sky discussion on Security Issues from the civil war right up to isis, the Nuclear Weapons and halfway through the discussion he did a classic trump is him, stopped the discussion did, looked at corey in the corner and said i like this guy, lets hire him and he asked me to become a consultant to the Trump Organization and i prepared policy briefs for his debate and became part i got to known general mike flynn who headed his Transition Team and i became part of the official once the only two candidates, Hillary Clinton and donald trump i became part of the official president ial Transition Team and the job of Deputy Assistant to the president of strategy which i started at 12 0 one on january 20th, 2007. And lasted how long . Why just seven months . You have to ask steve bannon that. I was on vacation in new england in the middle of the forest and have you seen the news . Im cut off from the world, i like not to be plugged in and i went to an area where i could check the internet and i saw that steve bannon had resigned out of the blue. He was my immediate boss, there was only one leg between me and the president , i was Deputy Assistant for strategy, steve was chief strategist and without telling me steve said i am leaving. In the two months prior to that it had become clear the new National Security adviser, hr mcmasters, not a fan of mine, always present for key meetings, and being left off the invitations of classified meetings once he became National Security adviser. I knew i was being boxed out in my top cover resigns and i had a tough decision when my wife and i sat down and thought what do i do . Do i stay . A pretty good federal salary paid for by the us taxpayers, to be consistently boxed out by somebody who has issues with me or support the make America Great again agenda from the outside and as i wrote in my letter to the president which the fulltext is at breitbart. Com, the antim aga forces are in a sentence in the white house with hr and others and i would like to serve you on the outside and i can better do so in the president agreed and now i have a National Radio show America First, more than 1 million followers on social media. My decision was shaped by the belief that where i fit is not important. Is the agenda. Making America Great again, bringing us back to that place reagan called the shining city on the hill and right then i could best do that on the outside and it has worked out the last two years. Host in your book the war for americas soul you have an interview with donald trump as well. We went back as part of my new book to the oval office and i sat down with the president for an interview on how the last three years of progressed and that is the bonus chapter in our book. Host Sebastian Gorka is our guest, this is book tedious Monthly Program where we invite one author on to discuss his or her body of work. 200 to syria could if you would like to participate in our conversation today, 7488200 if you live in east and central time zones, 7488201 in the mountain and pacific time zones and if you would like to text a message to Sebastian Gorka, 2027488003. That is only for text messages. We will scroll through social media sites if you would like to send a tweet or make a comment on facebook or instagram. We will put those up and begin taking those in a few minutes. You talked about how you met donald trump and how he hired you on the spot. When you go to your Wikipedia Page. That is your first mistake. It says in here various National Security scholars and academic and policymaking circles have characterized Sebastian Gorkas fringe. There is an individual, wall street journal analyst, when he first saw me labeled as fringe he called me up and laughed and said if you are writing about the person who is in the white house as strategist to the president and calling him fringe, perhaps you are the fringe individual because who is in the white house . As soon as i became the face of the administration the First Executive order we drew up was the travel ban and it wasnt being wellreceived so i spoke to sean spicer and steve bannon as soon as the criticism was so loud and said i got a bit of media, can i help you explain this to the American People why this is important and based on obamas threat assessment and white makes america safe so they through me in to the mix. As soon as i became someone public in the white house the attacks began and the most garrulous colony, i thought i was ready, cynical enough having lived in dc for a decade but i wasnt ready for the retail duration that was launched against the. If you had the president or steve then you will attack me but when i became the face of the administration, people who called themselves journalists didnt just attack me, they attacked my wife who is a political appointee, they attacked my dead mothers reputation and they wrote a piece about my 18yearold son, High School Age son in which the title of the piece described my 18yearold son as a traitor. Something has happened in this city and it is not healthy. It is fundamentally unamerican. You can have political differences with somebody in an administration but to call yourself a journalist and go after somebodys family the way they went after baron trump when he was ten, after milania, eric, don junior, that is why wikipedia is one of the worst sources out there. As soon as things were said about me, about my nationalist pretensions, my racism and so forth none of which were true, i asked to change those entries with fact based sources. What did wikipedia do . Locked the page so that it couldnt be changed. That is fundamentally wrong. Is that a common practice by wikipedia . There line is if they see lots of back and forth between people putting negative, somebody trying to correct them, get to a certain fever pitch they lock it and nothing can change. Back to your Wikipedia Page it says that following 9 11 attacks Sebastian Gorka became a public figure in hungary as a television counterterrorism expert that failed to obtain the necessary security clearance from the National Security office to serve on a committee . I served on the committee. Classic example. I served on the committee as the independent experts by the speaker of the Hungarian Parliament to investigate the biggest scandal in postcommunist hungary. In april of that year the election was held but conservative government was replaced by a government of socalled socialists, members of the former communist party and weeks after the election, frontpage story, a photo stat of a document from the cold war which had the name, serial number and rank of a secret Police Officer who shared the same name as the newly elected Prime Minister. When hungary found out the new Prime Minister was a former secret Police Undercover officer under the dark days of communism a committee was impaneled to investigate the scandal and i became one of two independent experts on that committee. It goes on to say you were regarded as a spy written for british counterintelligence. Fake news is not a uniquely american thing. Whether it happens in israel with Benjamin Netanyahu or what happens with Boris Johnson in the uk or myself, i served in the military intelligence reserve of the economy when i was in college, that makes me james bond. Sebastian gorka is our guest, his most recent book is the war for americas soul. What you open that book with your daughter at Trinity College . It is one of the reasons i wrote the war for americas soul. Because i experienced an event that shook me to my marrow and i had to ask my daughters permission to write that chapter and she cleared it after i drifted it. My daughter graduated from Trinity College last may and it had been a tough four years for her. She was involved with an accident that made National News when just a for the term began, the semester began there were children in a College Building and they were on the third floor, my daughter stepped onto that deck and as soon as she stepped out all three decks collapsed on each other with children on each deck. Luckily nobody was killed but very serious injuries, my daughter sustained nerve damage and was on crutches for weeks. Despite that she persevered, the captain of her crew team, had four jobs in college running the coffee bar, being a Research Assistant and then she was invited to join a new institute called the Church Institute created by handful of remaining conservative professors because trinity like what colleges is hardcore left and they wanted to celebrate and propagate the values of judeochristian civilization, western civilization as churchill did. That was the last straw for the social justice warriors and two weeks before graduation they took my daughters photograph on social media and posters around campus they put her name, visage and underneath, this is the face of white supremacy. Why . Because she was my daughter, despite the fact that this girl had helped ethnic women, minority women when she was the Research Project on those that had been abused financially by their partners, their husbands. So when it came to exaggeration i was very trepidations. I didnt want to cause a scene. I knew many parents were not Trump Supporters so when i arrived that sunday to the quad i didnt stay with my family. I sat under an oak tree so there wouldnt be any distractions from what should have been my daughters celebration and it was all fine until after the ceremony my daughter received her diploma, caps were thrown in the air and i decided to make my way back to my wife, motherinlaw, sister and daughter and in the throng i was separated from everyone and a little snippet of a girl walked up to me, the opening of the war for americas will, little girl walks up to me, maybe 19 years old, maybe 85 pounds dripping wet and she looked me in the eye and said are you Sebastian Gorka . That works for donald trump in the white house . I smiled and extended my hand and said yes, that is me and her i have to edit things. In that case, if you, ufing nazi. I have been through the mill in the white house but never had somebody living in the most successful power whole free nation in the world do that to me in front of hundreds of witnesses. When i found my composure this little girl back to her family, her mother, grandmother standing there. I looked her in the face and said who the hell do you think you are . My parents as children suffered under nazi occupation in central europe. After that my father under communist dictatorship was arrested and tortured and imprisoned. Who the hell do you think you are to call me a nazi . The girls mother was clearly shocked, her job dropped and said did you really say that to this man . This is why i wrote the war for americas soul. Little girl, america born and bred living in the freest nation in the world with a rictus like grin from the joker, batman, looked at her mother and me and said yes i did. That is frightening. It is frightening that according to the victims of Communism Memorial Foundation in the latest poll 72 would like to live in a communist or socialist country. This after the fact that we know if you read the black book of communism at least 100 million human beings were exterminated in the name of karl marx and his communist ideology so i spent more than 20 years in the National Security domain, specialized in nonstate actors, irregular warfare and the strategy of jihadist counterterrorism and now the last two years have been a moment for me, i realized the path to the greater threat we face is the falsification of history and indoctrination of a whole generation of americans. Rules for radicals appear in the war for americas soul, live by the rule of personal destruction, treat your adversary as a human deserving 0 respect. Pardon me, or compassion. They have used it very effectively. The socalled squad, the four horse women of the democrat apocalypse, nancy pelosi with impeachment, chuck schumer, Saul Lewinsky is the most influential individual with regard to american politics that nobody talks about. I reproduce elements of Hillary Clintons dissertation from wellesley that she wrote on Saul Lewinsky when she was working for saul the wednesday. I found the original dissertation and i read a moment of it in the appendix of the war for americas soul. When you see a man like donald trump who has been the most feel as semitic president since 1948, who moved their embassy to jerusalem, recognized jerusalem after 23 years of broken promises, who has the closest relationship you can imagine with the Prime Minister of israel, to call that man an antisemite, bigot, racist, the same person who has affected Prison Reform especially for minorities, created the lowest unemployment for hispanic and blacks in america since recordkeeping began, the triangulation we were taught by Andrew Breitbart, what the left does, separate, isolate, destroy, the politics of personal destruction. Politics is always been like that. The past few years of the american revolution, never to this degree. We didnt target children. We didnt target the president s of children, we didnt go after the first ladies because they were wearing the wrong shoes as they got on the helicopter, that is why when people talk about trump derangement syndrome there is substance to that. The level of demeaning the other person to the point at which you deny their humanity, that is very unhealthy. That is disturbing, you see that in protototalitarian regimes. If you look at soviet russia, look at the 30s in germany when you start to dehumanize your political opponents and not to discuss policy issues that way leads the road to the labor camps in the gulags and that is why i am convinced that sadly the Democrat Party of scoop jackson, john f. Kennedy, is that it has been taken over by extremists, radicals. How is it you have of out antisemites like ilhan omar or Rashida Tlaib saying israel is evil, it hypnotized the west, ilhan omar tweeted two days ago the president murdered a Foreign Government official. Soleimani was a mass murderer. Is goebbels or himmler of Foreign Government official to this woman . We are living in dark dark times but as Ronald Reagan taught us on the right and i consider myself to be a reagan order we are happy worried, we are fueled by love, love of country and what i see on the left, another reason i wrote the war for americas soul, a movement that has become defined, fed, fueled by hatred, perhaps hatred itself, the psychological underpinnings, hatred of what they think which is not imperialist colonial force, the freest nation, their freedom. Host 200 to the area code if you live in east and central time zones, 2027488201 for those in the mountain and pacific time zones. We will scroll through our text number and social media site in case you cant get through on the phones. Lets begin with brian in michigan. You are on the harder Sebastian Gorka. Caller thank you, i listen to you, top secret clearance compartmentalized. I would like to talk about mister shawn henry at crowd strike. He was the head of Cyber Security under Robert Mueller of course, he got his grub steak, his big money from a lawyers outfit that absolutely hates russia plus he doubled down a ton of money through tim guyton are geithner who approved uranium one. You may know where im going with this. Host where are you going . Caller it is all right there and i think Sebastian Gorka understands this. Host lets get a response. Guest one of the greatest ironies of the last three years, whenever the Democrat Party, the left tries to manufacture charges against the president whether with regards to russian collusion or extortion or bribery in ukraine every time it has rebounded to them, hosting the morning show, it is reminiscent of the final scene in the hunt for red october, and launching torpedoes, sink the dissident sean connery summary but the torpedo circles back and syncs his own vessel. The fact that Hillary Clinton paid a former Foreign Secret Service agent to gin up russian propaganda to use a secret warrant to spy on us in the Trump Campaign and the trump white house, and the sweetest most vicious of ironies. And accused the president of malfeasance with ukraine and weve seen the transcript in which nothing untoward, hunter biden was taking home between 5080, 000 per month toward a corrupt company that was investigated by the ukraine in which his father, point person for the Obama Administration demanded the ukrainians fire that prosecutor before he gave them 1 billion. You are right about one thing, crowd strike. Crowd strike is the one thing democrats and the dnc and hillary and comey and brendan dont wish to talk about. The idea that a company has great interests in, connected to the dnc. We need to get to the bottom of that. I have good news for you. William barr, john durham were on the case and they are unflappable. Host this tweet for you, how much influence is clausewitzs book on war a part of your own philosophy. Guest it is one of my three favorite books, i break it down a great deal in the second book why we fight. If we are near National Security and strategy, there are two tacit forces you must be familiar with. You must be familiar with the chinese strategist sun tzus the art of war, they complement each other. It is the most influential text on how the west does National Security, the system of nation states thinks about National Security. Not always right but the concept of friction, the center of gravity, eternally applicable. It is incredibly important because it breaks you out of a eurocentric way of thinking and illustrate how other nations have different ways about thinking with regard to National Security and the strategy, have essential rating. Iran and russia, russia and iran are asian because sun tzu is the foundation of the regular warfare, the indirect approach. How you take down a more powerful enemy than your self. If you want to stock your library, start with clausewitz and sun tzu and build from there. Host bob, youre on with Sebastian Gorka. Caller a real honor. Something that has been bothering me which has been missed or at least not brought up is Vladimir Putin has played the Democrat Party to do his bidding. If the democrats would have coalesced around the president instead of attacking him all of this stuff we have been going through might never have occurred but he knew how stupid these people are and played them like a fiddle. Guest a phrase from the cold war, useful idiot, it really is a case. When you have most egregious examples, when you have a former cia director, john brennan, john brennan, obama, director of the cia on National Television after he leaves office use the word treasonous to describe the president of the United States Vladimir Putin is laughing into his cheerios. Whether or not brennan is being paid by the kremlin is relevant. He is doing Vladimir Putins bidding. The idea that donald trump agreement the targeting of 200 russian mercenaries in syria by our forces, a man who instead of sending blankets to ukraine like obama did send javelin antitank missiles, an individual who instigated the toughest sanction regimes against moscow we have ever seen, that person is treasonous and a puppet Vladimir Putin they have returned a massive massive return on their investment even when they didnt pay these individuals. It is sad that a party that was so in the tank, ted kennedy had negotiations with the kremlin trying to elicit their systems to undermine Ronald Reagans reelection. That Democrat Party that was always on the side of the left, on the side of useful idiots, fellow travelers, now they are accusing donald trump and conservatives, truly beyond the pale. Host from Sebastian Gorkas book why we fight, russia does not share americas interests. It may face its own jihadist threat especially from chechnya. That does not mean it is or can be our friends. Next call is glenn in freeland, michigan. Caller thank you for taking the call. We had three calls in a row from pretty much the same area in michigan. I just want to Say Something fast about the media and the left that Sebastian Gorka was talking about, really is amazing how so many of those people have more respect for the iranian government, holocaust deniers and terrorists and all that then they do for donald trump. It is incredible. My question is about syria. He talked about the atrocities in syria by isis of stopped, the vast majority of syrians tell him those kind of atrocities and worse are still going on at of the assad dictatorship and things like isis came about because assad released people from jail and that them thrive so he could set himself up as a big terrorist fighter but also there is no alternative. Obama chickened out and nobody came to help them. Everybody in the west and all of that basically let him and iran, soleimani helped kill hundreds of thousands of syrians and helped assad commit every war crime. Host a lot of geopolitics going on and i want to add to what you said. We have occurred situation as well. Host it is truly sad. I am now a proud american and became an american seven years ago. The idea we have leading figures in the media with National Platforms who host their show the day Robert Mueller says there was no russian collusion, Rachel Maddow is one example have their eyes tear up when they tell us that there is no proof the president is a traitor to his country. It is unconscionable. She is sad the president isnt a puppet . That is insane. Nobody on twitter, not a famous person, average american tweets out a still shot, screen capture of Rachel Maddows i tearing up on that news and that individual is suspended from twitter, what is happening to our nation. Where is the sanity . Where is the First Amendment . With regard to syria, absolutely right. Isis, despicable, evil, an organization that be headed people, tortured people, had slave markets, selling women and children as sex slaves but that doesnt mean the other actors are good guys. Assads father was a mass murderer of incredible proportions. Look up the siege in the 80s but his son is not much better but is also the dictator. The priority of thiS Administration is not the we are going to fix syria or have regime change but to stop as much bloodshed as we can and that is why when i was in the white house, the more a lot go summit over chocolate cake, talk to the National Security council and joint chiefs and decided, a proud moment for me and all of us in the white house when we had the incontrovertible intelligence, cant discuss the nature of it but it was incontrovertible that assad was going to use chemical weapons against unarmed women and children, the president took Decisive Action and launched 50 crews missiles to send a clear signal. We dont talk about the Trump Administration, we act whether it is al baghdadi, soleimani or the assad regime. What about the kurds . The line the Trump Administration has abandoned the kurds. Guest i am absolutely fine with capitol hill having a discussion about the kurds. Should we help them more or should we help them more . The absolute hypocrisy that the president with one drone strike is being accused of declaring war against iran, the 603 americans being killed by this man but they have issues with him not going to war with the nato ally, turkey, as they came across the border . Have some common sense, have some standards, maintain some consistency in your augmentation. At the end of the day the kurds have killed a lot of bad guys because isis was as much an enemy of theirs as they were of hours with the president s primary responsibility is to protect americans, not kurds. They are not treaty allies, theres no article five defense requirement for kurdish nation. If congress wishes to make it so have that discussion. Lets have the democrats argue that a nation whose population is dispersed among five Different Countries in the middle east should be, treaty ally with all the requirements that has on us. But you have to make the argument to the people because three of the reasons this president was elected beyond the Immigration Reform and the border and the crippling of our economy underregulation by president obama the third most important reason was to end what my boss called the endless stupid wars in the idea that you will send more americans to die and defense people we dont have a treaty application to, okay, have that discussion but until you have a discussion our obligation is us servicemen. Right there in front of turkish armored personnel carriers coming across the border, would have been reckless. We didnt betray anybody, we represented American Interests. Host brian in merchant film, new jersey, go ahead. Caller i want to ask you, how shocked i am the things that happens you and your family, trump and his family just unbelievable. I want to ask, the house seemed in such a hurry to get articles of impeachment to the senate and all of a sudden they are playing this game. I want to get your assessment of that and also your assessment on the middle east and the world as it relates to the killing of general soleimani and is a gentleman. Guest with regards to impeachment, how is it nancy pelosi and her democrat colleagues lectured us for weeks on end that this is an issue of such urgency the president must be remove from office, he must be impeached and it was so urgent that she didnt want to forward the articles of impeachment or the names of the trial managers to the senate to demonstrate this is a charade. He lost control of the Democrat Party, the squad, the four horse women of the democratic apocalypse in control, the person who was described as the arch strategist and quintessential vote counter, nancy pelosi and out of control, has no control, cant string a cogent sentence together and when a reputable reporter, friend of mine asked a completely justified question she calls mister gop talking point. It will pass to the senate, the fact that you have one of the democrat star witnesses write an opinion piece saying the president of the United States is not been impeached until articles are forwarded, the senate, is damaging enough, what happens next, i said it when i was in the white house, donald trump became president despite the gop, not thanks to the gop. I dont trust the establishment gop, havent had the president s back, a small group of people in the freedom caucus, jim jordan, mark morgan, lees eldon that supported the president and in the senate, nancy graham goes back and forth, Mitch Mcconnell has been amazing on judges but the m a g a agenda is larger than judges. I dont expect the robust trial, i dont expect them to call people they should call like hunter biden, joe biden, the socalled whistleblower and adam shift himself. The president will not be removed from office. With regard to the middle east, if anybody tells you they know the future of the middle east they are lying and probably have a bridge to sell you as well. All i know is a very clear message has been sent not only to the irg see, the republican guard, the quds strike, with the strike on soleimani, a robust message has been sent to all our enemies and adversaries whether they are in pyongyang, moscow, or anywhere else like beijing. Host did you know the socalled whistleblower . Guest i had no interactions. Host this email, wise trump such a danger to career politicians, military complex, do you think we need term limits . Guest i think we do. Im not sure the hangman will hang himself in terms of changing the political system and inducing term limits. Why is donald trump such a threat to the establishment to give very simple, nobody owns him. He owes nothing to anybody. We take for granted, in 2016 america did something they had never done before since the revolutionary war. 63 million americans chose an individual who had never served in Public Office before. From George Washington to barack obama everything will president for 44 president s was either a former senator, congressman, governor, or general like eisenhower or washington reelected for the first time, somebody who was in beholden to anyone. Nobody owns donald trump, not big pharma, not tobacco, not the unions and so he is a danger to our vested interest on right and left. When i came into the white house for the first we 4 or 5 weeks i refused to use the phrase deep state. I thought it had a tinge of tinfoil hatery and then i side with my own eyes. I saw it at meetings of the National Security thousands, classified meetings, the top bureaucrats in america would go into a skiff, talking about a big issue like china or iran and the cia and the nsa and the joint chiefs and i would sit there is a political appointee for an hour and a half and not one of these bureaucrats mentioned the president s name or what the president wished to achieve with regards to that issue and it was left up to me after an hour and a half to say gentlemen, ladies, you know what the commander in chief said yesterday, you know what the president said about isis or china, can we do what he wants america to do . That should not be the case but that is the deep state. That is curl, dont call me mister, Alexander Vindman who use these words. I was concerned by the president s phone call and felt my duty to defend the interagency consensus from the president. Hang on a minute, when i went into the voting booth i didnt see three boxes, Hillary Clinton, donald trump, interagency consensus. Who do you think you are . . National security is the president s domain, not even congresss. You think you get to decide about the man chosen by 63 million, who elected you . Nobody. That is the deep state. When you have Eu Ambassador n sondland finally get asked by congressman is it true at the end of the decade that donald trump rang you up and said these words, i want nothing, there must be no quid pro quo, and the ambassador goes yes, he did and the congressman says why did you not mentioned that in your 23 page Opening Statement . Iran out of time. You are the deep state. That is why donald trump is a threat to the establishment. Host matt endicott, new jersey, good afternoon. Caller yes. Hello, mr. Gorka, its a distinct honor and pleasure to talk to you. Im a big fan of yours and the no holds bar Straight Talk and one of my concern, howl do we as patriots. Com bat the likes of the Hillary Clinton socialists alleged and the george soros media machine that are Brain Washing the people of our country into the people into our country into thinking that socialism is a good thing, dont they understand what mass amounts of good that weve done in the world and and how how we cannot get through to the general public to help them understand what is so wrong with the course that they are leading us down. Thats a factious, factious question. Thats why each one of the books poses with each chapter exclusively to the reader on what you can do to make a difference. If you read why we fight, if you read war for american soldiers, always appendix addressed to you. If youre a conservative in california and massachusetts, you still matter. In the age of trump, anything is possible. Number 1, be part of the solution, how do you do that, ive advocated across the country, i travel and i speak, i dont care how old you are, how technologically inept you deem yourself to be, d if youre notn social media talking truth you are part of the problem, i dont care how old you are, even if youre reposting the president , theres a reason he has 60 million followers because he jumps over the heads of lying fake news industrial complex, use your phone, more journalistic capacity in terms of video and audio than truckload of journalists 2 years ago, use it, when you see lies, corruption, you see the needles on the streets in san francisco, you see the homeless, you see the conditions in baltimore n detroit, film, photograph it, post it, spread the word of truth, be on social media every single day at least once. And thenn secondly, when it coms to your specific question that how do we inform under the evils of socialism, 72 of millennials in america that believe that socialism or a good thing, ask them where itt has it worked because Prime Minister of denmark made speech in harvard told Bernie Sanders stop calling my country socialist, we are free market capitalist. Every single nation wrote the manifesto, every single nation thats tried socialism or communism or 40 of them have failed, so now its going to succeed at what cost 100 million dead, how many millions of dead and use power thing, i use stories in my book of familys experience, ask somebody who escaped cuba, ask somebody who escaped vietnam, why did they come here . A . Y did not escape to venezuela, why did they not escape to north korea, because democracy and cappallism is the most powerful Liberating Force in Human History that created more prosperity than any other ideology and for the kids out there one last thing, the most powerful thing i have seen and testament of the power of truth is my colleague, fellow radio host denise pragis, 6minute videos are incredible, theres a reason that youtube and google are trying to ban them and demontize them. Craig university supported it. War for americas soul, this text to you did you know the great hungarian American Writer and historian john lucas who like you fled from communist tyranny and how would you assess his work and philosophy, he died last year at age 94 . Great name. I never met him, of course, im familiar up there in the pantheon. You close with appendix a memo february 22nd, 1946 and in this memo the author apologizes in advance for this burdening of telegraphic channel. [laughter] i spent almost a decade teaching the military and one of the things i taught everywhere was this document now thats declassified, former nfc 68, its the textbook case study of how to do strategy right, when George Kennon did the ground work, the article that would appear in foreign affairs, that prepared the the field for nfc68, its incredible, it just a few months after the blockade we had everything to defeat the soviet union and it became the strategy for the next 40 years but why did it work, peter, because, a, George Kennon intimately understood our foe, heo, served in moscow, he had bn sstudying russia for years and years, he understood the importance of ideology, not just geography and history but what it was about communist ideology that made an existential threat to judeochristian western civilization, you have to know your enemies, part one of adminition on winning your conflict, you have to know why you are fighting, the thing that we forgot most often after 911, who we are and why we are fighting, its remarkable that reproduced in appendix in defeating jihad, begins by quoting our constitution, quoting the declaration of independence we dont do that anymore. Years and years until Trump Administration. We must strengthen. Former cia director john brennan to go after donald trump, i met ceo of virtual assistance hecorporated and had twohour conversation with him on their contract. At the height of the cold war voteed to communist candidate, he was hired by the cia, how that happened to begin with is the first question then he failed, became analyst, had distinguished career, when obama became president , he came back from the private sector to represent and which he did with internal reorganization centers makingak in certain instances analysts responsible for operations, why because he was a failure and he wanted to have revenge on the operators of the cia. Then he politicized the cia and especially usednd the iran deats as Political Tool to sell the jcpoa iran deal to not only president obama but to capitol hill, why he did this, i dont think he believes in america, how can you believe in america if youri vote for the communist party at theni height of the cod war so im not doing any analysis but john brennan is at the operation of operation cross fire hurricane he is the man who began it all, responsible for targeting thehe individuals in e campaign, carter page as well, i expect this individual to be in high, high legal jeopardy in 2020 at once final subpoenas and charges and indictments are brought down by the doj under john durham and attorney general william barr. Peter, good morning. God bless cspan, i would eike to ask mr. Gorka if he feels, should we still have confidence in our system, rule of law, i think the people on the far left, are trader wannabees, they may not take any actual action but in their speech and in sentiments i get the impression they would gladly see the United States damaged and, you know, traders. Thanks for calling in. I like the phrase. Wannabes. Ouure sending thousands of texts to your girlfriend who is married when youre married, these are arrogant people, these ate people who hate what this country stands for but theyre not very bright, the idea that on a government phone youre texting your girlfriend. Hes not going to win, is he, oh, no, trump is not going to win, we have an insurance policy party and youre doing that on government phone, when you have obamas National Security adviser susan rice, i think on the day of the inauguration, we were out on the steps of congress as the president was being sworn in and we were commissioned office of 45th president , shes sending email to government account to all principals saying, oh, by the way, president obama wants everything to be done by the book, why would the National Security adviser be saying we want everything to be done by the book, because you havent been doing things by the book and youre leaving a fake paper trail. The good news is william barr didnt want this job, hes there to clean doj after obama, durham has a reputation of putting bad guys in jail, bad guys who wore a badge and a gun, be patient, we believe in rule of law, we believe in collecting evidence, not having Kangaroo Court line nancy pelosi does, already after the ig horowitz report are very, very heartening. From the war for americas soul, you write that america is busy deliberately dismantled and the election of donald trump is only possible of a bipartisan betrayal of Middle America . Yes. I am i am a biblia file, i have a medical complaint. I cant go by a bookstore without buying a book and gun store without buying a gun. I cant read 600 pages of what dido sen hour had for breakfast in 1964, i just dont have the time. That passage that you read is what i learned as a conservative from Andrew Breitbart especially chapter 6, the rise of the new left, the sources of the new left. How what we are seeing with aoc, the squad isnt a function of obama, it goes back 80 years to antonio gramshi, italian communist writing in prison. Theres a progression. Its documentable and thats what i did in the war for americas soul. With regards to dismantling of whats happening today, i was also highly stimulated by the autobiography hilliliology. He said you have got to read this book after we came to the white house, thanksgiving weekend i read the whole thing. When he wrote the book he was clearly not trump supporter. That book expolitic occasion of what the political elite is whay did and why donald trump was elected, a nonpolitician was elected by 63 million americans and his story of this hill billy cla, in that moves to the west, finds jobs, security in steel plants and Automotive Manufacturing and hes deaf decimated by both jobs left to asia, subscribe to the same concept that theres no future for america, the bricks nations are rising, brazil, china, all must we prepare for is managed decline. The idea thatd last year 75,000 people died of overdoses, almost 20,000 more died in 10 years of arthe vietnam war is a functionf that, we imported the jobs and fentanyl and the drugs, there was a conscious surrendering of the American Dream which strangely was subscribed right and left andnd the idea that hey kissinger made it possible, the greats irony of all with convincing nixon to open to china, china was a backward nation that could never have competed with us but once china was given world trade nation, wt o membership, then they decided that the giant can be taken down, good news is Donald Trumpp doesnt believe in managd decline, as you can see in the years, china has been given warning orders. Laura, brooklyn, good afternoon. Hello, since 2014 mr. Biden has become war crinallal criminal with ukrainian people because he started war in ukraine by setting personal business deal to buy for his person liquefy gas for Eastern Ukraine and to sell it in the western europe at market price to enrich he and his family, do you think that biden is war criminal from the authorities. Laura, are you from ukraine originally . Yes. Maam. K you, war crime is a specific term, to be a war criminal you have to be in the chain of command of ordering war crimes, i dont see Vice President biden a chain of command in wartime responsible for war crimes, but he is one of the most corrupt politicians in American History, the idea that you are made point person for President Trumps ukraine policy and you openly on video, any of the viewers can check it online, you jest by extorting ukraine and saying, i upheld i held out a billion dollars of u. S. Aid until they fired the prosecutor who was investigating the company burisima where my hunter biden was employed to the tune of at least 50,000 a month, thats the kind of corruption that theyve accused President Trump of committing which he never did, if anybody should be charged with bribery and extortion, it is joe biden, hes become a figure of amusement telling stories, its not that hes funny and pathetic, its that his corrupt and his son is corrupt. If trial continues in the senate we will have a Good Opportunity to find out just how corrupt the whole biden clan truly is. And if you cant get through on the phone line and would like to send a test to mr. Gorka, you no so, 202 7488003, greg in medview, arizona, youre on the line. Thanks a lot for taking my calls, sebastian, theres a whole bunch of massage here on your team and its real easy to see what the problem is, is that there are no american flags hanging or standing behind the democrats when theyre having their debate, that should be simple enough for the American Public to realize what we are up against and youre absolutely right, we are up against pure hatred, god bless you, god bless trump and keep doing what youre doing, thank you very much. Thank you, god bless you in america and the first family. [laughter] its not a Conspiracy Theory going and seeing the reports from the recent democrat convention, they realized as the convention was opening, glen, that there are no american flags on the stage of the Dnc Convention and they have to rush out of the stadium and everywhere else they could find them in the city, what does that tell you when theyre luring people like Colin Kaepernick for kneeling, when the National Anthem is playing for disrespecting our flag, disrespecting those who bled and gave their lives for this nation, its sad, this is this is not the dnc, this isnt the Democrat Party of your forefathers, think of if youre prolife, you probably do part democrat platform openly, if youre strong on National Security, if you believe in National Security like a john f kennedy, youy wouldnt be allowd on the platform today, thats saddening, i hope, i wish we have a massive trouncing of the democrats this year in 2020 because its only that type of a crisis that will force them to reassess who they have become and perhaps return to their roots as inclusive, i work for donald trump as mr. Trump i worked for him as president , he wants to support everyone and a make sure they are safe, irrespective of their skin color, where they were born, their class, most striking at all which democrats in the left and the media will never believe, he wants you the thrive, prosper, and be safe whether or not you voted for him and thats as it should be with every president , thats not how it is on the left today and something has to change. Will you be involved in the 2020 campaign . I have a National Radio form which i provided the platform to left and right and campaign is always good in sending me surrogates, i have don, jr. , laura trump, i have eric trump onon the show regularly, if the Campaign Needs me, i told the president he knows my phone number, he stayed in touch, hes called me several times since i left the white house, right now nds the National Platform and its the engagements across the country. When is the showw on live and can people watch it listen to ue online . Yes, 3 00 to 6 00 eastern monday through friday, drive time on the east coast, lunchtime on the west coast, on the Radio Network on hundreds of stations across the country, you tan listen to it 24 7 on repeat at sebgorka. Com. Its on apple podcast, weve stream it on youtube, we live stream it on facebook and then after the show airs at 6 00 p. M. , we o put each other on instagram tv as well, Sebastian Gorka and the website is sebgorka. Com. Do you ever allow people who disagree with you to call in and you ever invite people whether or not you disagree with you on as guests . I sad i had cnek ugyer from the young turks. We dont have any any filter and my its a demand of my children as well, dont just preach to them, preach to the choir and we do every day. In your second book why we fight yout refer Political Correctness as perma frost on america. T this imagery came to me during the election of 16 and it actually came outan of my fit meeting with candidate trump. And i grew up in the uk, i went to private school, debating club, all that stuff, the style of this man from queens is very different from what i was used to but within seconds maybe minutes of personally meeting with him face to face, i realized one thing, this individual to his core detest Political Correctness with a passion . Hes the crept night and then as i started thinking about it it came too me that what we have seen in the t last 40, 50 yearsn america is this increasing tied of Political Correctness in the media, in hollywood and eventually under the Obama Administration this level of frlitical correctness became a perma frost across American Culture that locked in one way of thinking and the reason that 63 million americans elected nonpolitician as their president its because they saw in him an ice breakership, its that one individual who says i will not surrender to Political Correctness,i will not allow those who politically disagree with me to dictate my speech and like a true icebreaking ship, smash awayed through it which opened up so many people in america the possibility that we can once again return the founding principles upon which republic was built where freedom of speech was respected and so for me donald trump became the ice breaker and the Political Correctness perma frost was finally open, with icebreaking chips, i finish the analysis with this, what happens when an ice breaker, the ice will reform behind the ship, its up to us americans to keep the passage clear and thats why people have to believe that they matter follow todays america, every single one of us to keep the lanes of freedom open. And in the war for americas soul you quote Andrew Breitbart, politics is downstream from culture. This is outside of ben shapiros dont care about your feelings logan, i think Andrew Breitbart is popular one on the right and most people fray out and on my radio show again and again i try to make people understand what did andrew actually mean by saying that, it doesnt matter what it is, prolife, Second Amendment, freedom of speech, deregulation, whatever it is, by the time that issue arrives in this city and the swamp, by the time it gets to capitol hill, its already settled, it was settled decades ago and years ago in the media and hollywood, the idea that you can have a debate on the merits of the individual issue in washington, this is the point, the issues of our age, the issues in our culture are shaped, create conventional wisdom in the culture first. You cannot wait. Its what you do in the culture, theres a community organizer, the screen writer far more important, thats why talk radio without Rush Limbaugh and 24 million listeners, there is no donald trump. Culture if you care about an issue, its not about every 4 bars in the ballot box, has to be active and thats what andrew meant and andrew was so very, very right. Youre on the line. How are you . Better well, better than i deserve, don. Well, i was listening to the program and you mentioned in your books you have some discussion on what we can do and i terrifying story that has little spark of hope to it. My hobby is a lonely hobby, i go to these talks that people give about Global Warming, convinced everyone that we are destroying the planet and usually the only person who asks about the science and questions the lying that they are giving, over the past 6 years ive noticed that the presentations have evolved and the latest now is presentations that revolve around the urgency to act, to do something and the latest one i want to locally, they had, was organized by Democratic Party folks and they had the High School Democrat students there, all giving their presentations about Global Warming and then a couple of local conservation people think im scientists and everybody else is gained up to say we have to do something and about a week before that there was a conference in europe, i think it was in germany but im not positive who are some skeptical climate scientists beginning together andnd one of these environmental activists organizations, somebody said they were kind of like antifa, went to the hotel where they were going to meet and harassed the hotel so much that hotel canceled the contract for the conference and the conference had to go through and had to find aho new i apologize, we have to cut it there, i think you get the jest of where he was going. Yeah, let me i dont want to go on a tangent. We have been told to get this consensus in the community, it isnt about voting but theories being proven correct or not, there was consensus that the world was flat but it wasnt so lets get back to facts and if you look at climate gate in the uk and data, theres enough going on so we understand what its really about, its about controlling your future, we have had 60 years of being told its an ice age, its the ozone layer, its the bees, swine flus, can we have some consistency on which is coming around the corner, its based on the facts and not the idea that aoc green new steel has to make cheeseburgers illegal, gasoline illegal and flying by planes unless theyre member of the political league, stalin would have salivated over, its about having more power over you and lets inject science back over to the debate, let me share one story with you, if i may. One of the reasons that i wrote my last 2 books was what happened to me the tuesday after the election in 2016, i was my wife had asked me to get groceries on the way home. I stopped at the local grosh and two ladies behind me, one next to me i could tell she may be was latina or from the philippines, she kept talking ahead of me and clearly knew that she had seen me in some way before, finally i was paying, she went over to whisper and said we won. No, no, its not we won, its america won at which point the woman caucasian, not an immigrant like me and said, no, its your fing bigot of a candidate that will ruin america, now im 49 years old, ive never had somebody do that to me and public with witnesses let alone a woman, no, my dear, its that attitude that got your candidate to lose. This iss why i write my books, america is in a situation now that is not justified by who we are and what we have done for the world, trump derangement syndrome is real, we need to get back to the realities. Kind of the big deal to change the nationality, isnt it . Yeah. Knife i have no context. Not if you grew up in the uk that ask you about blues and loving American Culture and seeing Ronald Reagan as male version of your own hero, margaret thatcher, i was in love where america from very early age and when you buy into the reality that we are the greatest nation, the only one founded on the principle of individual liberty it wasnt a hard decision. Ironically would never survive under it, they are pampered and that doesnt bode well to live under communism as much as id love to box their ears this is the slow and steady that has targeted our youth for tsome time. Yeah, its how its all down, individuals others who have no love for this country believes we are the new empire when this is a nation that liberates others and never stays there to control the countries theyve liberateed and and the idea of people who complain that they need safe spaces and under socialist regime, these individuals need to spend a few times, north korea and venezuela and get back to us. Nenezuela, the richest country in the hemisphere in which people are now eating Domestic Animals because the economy hasm to collapsed under socialism, so it is, indeed, indoctrination. Next call comes from mike in detroit. What i have on what you were talking about earlier i think a lot of people are missing the point in terms of the mess we are inht right now and that is o and what this Democratic Party has become, you know, the trump derangement syndrome, deplorables, russians, all that to me is they are trying to rationalize and justify, you know, horrendous behavior and i think that the sooner people, President Trump deals with them as who they are, a lot of people in this country are still waiting for w them to try to coe to their census or reach across not goingand this is to happen, theyve misused and damaged everything theyve touched, you know, our government and i think its just, we cannot govern with them, we just have to keep their hands up for levels of power. Thats mike in detroit. Mike, i couldnt agree more with you. I still dontt know how my old boss does it, the idea that you onvite nancy pelosi to negotiate with you in the white house the day she calls you a criminal, shes a better man than i am. I could never do that, the people are truly seditious, when we knoww what adam schiff, when we know that he coordinated with the whistleblower and then denied it and lied about it, when he fabricated a version of the core that never ever happened, when we know that the dnc sent aw ukrainian American Culture to the embassy of the ukraine, collect smear material toinst the president but coordinate a Smear Campaign against candidate trump with the ukrainian government, thats the definition of sedition. A group that you cant do business with, remember the whole daca debate, the democrats wanted to have 800,000 no 600,000 Daca Recipients naturalized to provide them with immunity, what did donald trump do . Hes a compassionate man, he said, okay, how about we double that, how about i give you double that figure of amnesty for Daca Recipients under obama if you actually join me in comprehensive Immigration Reform, what did nancy pelosi say . No. But even when donald trump and his wife have act in good faith, theres no good faith on the other side and that tells you everything they need that you need to know. Text trumps entire 2016 Campaign Staff is in jail for laundering money from russia and he refused to cooperate with investigators or release taxes, also nra was working with russia, thats from m fisher in philadelphia. Im sad that m. Fisher is a victim of fake news, you know what Paul Manafort is in prison for . I have love lost for manafort, hes in prison for mortgage fraud. Mortgage fraud, we were told this is about collusion with the kremlin, not making false statements on your mortgage application, general flynn is standing in a dock, Great American patriot, former director of the cia, man i worked in Transition Team and in the white house, why, because he misremembered the details of a phone call with the Russian Ambassador that he was authorize today make and what was the phone call about . You can have a look, its out there. Requesting russias assistance in a vote in the un to stop Israel Attack by the united nations, thats why that man has been attacked, his family has threatened and lost his home, dont be a hostage, my friend. Fake news. Look things up u for yourself ad break the chains of your indoctrination. In the war for americas soul you praised john bolton and hes gone. Is that a mistake that he is gone . I dont think its a mistake for the president , i like john, i considered him a friend, i considered him to be an american patriot, he has been smeared outrageously by the people who are behind obamas jcpoa iran deal like ben rhodes, 140 billion back to sponsor of state terrorism, the likes of which we havent seen for decades, but to be honest with you, peter, im not surprised that he left the administration. His style is very different from the president , hes not neo con that wants to invade other peoples country and wants to vern them into cookie cutters of america, but if theres choice of intervention and no intervention, jobs more often on the intervention side, it was going to happen sooner or later. Mike in new york, go ahead, mike. Good afternoon, i wanted to ask sebastian what he thinks about the likelihood of second American Civil War say within the next ii to 40 years if the democrats keep going after the Second Amendment or war with china say within the next 50 years . Lets recall that the blood iest war the republic has ever been involved wasnt vietnam, korea or world war ii, it was civil war with more than 600,000 americans killed by americans, what the Democrat Party is doing right now, ralph northam, the governor of virginia, what hes proposing, whats occurring in other states is against the founding principles of his nation, the Second Amendment was there for a reason, to protect all the other civil rights we have, theres no freedom of speech if you have a government, its about having the ultimate guarantor to remove government that intervenes with your godgiving right, the democrats have gone too far, beto orourke, robert orourke, did us a favor, he may be a erser in terms of a candidate for president , but he spoke what the democrat candidates spoke but were afraid, hell, yes, we are coming after your guns, it wont happen in america, we have more than 300 million guns in private hands and the democrats know that, the extremists now hold the reins in certain state houses but at the end of the day i have faith in the American People and i have faith that sooner or later the extremists understand what a certain japanese general said during world war ii. You cannot invade america, you cannot take control of its government by force because behind every blade of grass will be an american citizen with a rifle, thats why we exist. We almost asked our authors f for their favorite books and what theyre currently reading, now, we talked a couple of your favorites, breitbart, the art of war, the third one on there is the new testament. Of course, individual who believes that our culture is the greatest culture, that not all cultures are equal, judeochristian civilization is western civilization, so every morning i read the new testament , the truths therein are internal truths, we have been saved by our lord and savior and every ingle single dayri we try to be better, how o you do that, where do you get your guidance, you turn to the good book. Youre currently reading 3 goks, modern strategy, resistance at all cost by Kimberley Strassel and the plot against the president by lee smith, what is that third book, lee smith . Lee smiths book is a documentation of everything that great devin nunes did what i call obamagate, he was given unprecedented access to former chairman of the Intelligence Community and his team and what they called operation medusa; operation to find out what happened underen brennans tenue and james comeys tenure that resulted in cross fire hurricane and unprecedented interagency theration between the cia, fbi, and nsa to surveil, to illegally spy on a president ial campaign with fisa wants that excluded exculpatory information that lead to spying on carter page and others, not adequately held reporter who has done leisure work along with books with dan bongino, gregg jarrett, judge jeanine pirro, we know about the biggest political scandal in modern American History. Sebastian gorka writes about that in his latest book, the war for americas soul, audrey in agora hills, california. Good morning, sir, im in california, not by choice, but because of responsibility, i do admire you so very, very much, my question to you, sir, is why didnt the administration immediately ask for all of the resignations of the obama holdovers and, therefore, had he would all of this not have come to fruition . Yeah. As an educator for 50 years, teaching and an immigrant, teaching American History and american economics and now i am retired but i feel that my platform and my voice is no longer there and i do agree with you, our social media, im on facebook all of the time. Good. Making comments in supporting our president , but going back to my question, do you think that that would have been more positive to request the resignations of comey and all of the other seditionist all right, audrey, thank you for calling. God bless you for being teacher. Its not a cabinet level. At the beginning to have administration and before the transition, in the beginning of the S Administration i said two principles, we need to get rid of as many people as possible. Political appointees in the senior director slots of all of the director and building with much more smaller staff, mostly drawn ofra people from the Campaign Across the country. You have painted with having worked in washington and who understand and believe in the president and the make America Great agenda, my argument, 6 months, 9 months we will suffer because some of the people dont know the difference between sunni and shiite or where kasikstan is and understand why 63 million americans chose donald trump. My advice wasnt heeded by the administration and were targeted, framed, charged with philosophies, felonies. And my hope god willing in 300oddn days if President Trump is reelected, the biggest questions, forget whina, iran, the economy, the biggest challenge for a second Trump Administration is the bench, there is no bench, we have to clear house people who are untainted and who are loyal to the vision of making America Great again who said it and said regan administration, personnel is policy, its one of the cliches that is so very true. We have to have people who answer in the white house and in the administration. Judges Energy Taking on china, et cetera, do you think its phase 2, trump should be more traditional, more traditional president in Public Discourse while continuing his policies full steam or does it matter . Its not going to happen. 73yearold man. This is a man who ran for the first time as nonpolitician and won, you dont give that person advise on communications and those on the right, i really get angry. Should we talk about the Supreme Court and should we talk about the freedom, 11 trillion that have been added to the economy under donald trump, should we lalk about the crushing of isis, Major General soleimain, there are two progolfers watching tee off and one of them says, look at the golfers style, look at the position of his feet, look at how he holds, look at the swing. I dont care. Thats donald trump. This tweet, shes absolutely gocked that cspan2 has got Sebastian Gorka on their network for 4 straight hours this morning, what an obamanation and this does reair when we conclude in about ten minutes. How unamerican of you. Go ahead. Sebastian, good talking to you, im in nevada and my focus has long been globalization and trump is president to battle globalization. I would love to hear your thoughts and expand on his his thinking and your thinking with him . I know your town well in arizona. , yeah. In my second book why we fight there are some illustrations and photographs of my time in the white house and one of them that may surprise you, i was standing in back of the rose garden, a beautiful sunny day when the president gave his speech on the Paris Climate Accord, this is not my bailey wicker, and i stood at the back, i took a photograph why because it was one of the proudest moments of my time in the white house, when the president of the United States pulled us out of the Paris Climate Accord with the following sentence, i was elected by the citizens of pittsburgh to be their president , not the citizens of paris, we are one of the cleanest environmental nonpolluters inl the western world today, to saddle us with paying for egregious pollute is like china and russia goes against everything that we believe in, America First means america interest, American Interest first, yes, so religion of globalization is why america became independent republic and finally we have a president who lives that and walks it, all of us. There was another time that you werec. At the white house ad had a confront confrontation, wo show just a little bit of that video. Youre a journalist, right . [laughter] [inaudible conversations] [inaudible conversations] what are we witnessing there . Its an incident that everybody brings up to me warmly when i meet them, so i was at the social media summit with the president recently and afterwards he invited the guests to sit in the rose garden while he and ag barr made statement, at the end the president walks off and hes not taking question , playboy and cnn screams at the president using foul language, im not going to repeat it and then as somebody who says to him calm down, brian, he looks at the president s guest, spreads his arms up and says, you all look like you need some possession and then strange projection at which point i recognize who he was, this was a man who verbally abused Sarah Huckabee sanders and i had enough, i got up and i went over to him and i said and youre a journalist brian, to which in front of hundreds of witnesses he challenged me to fight, he said come outside, gorka, we will settle this in front of the secret service to which point which i said youre just a punk, i have to have tshirts made with youre just a punk, p i think. D hello, mr. Gorka, i have some questions and i may have to give you a little background. You know what, eleanor, i apologize, we are almost out of time, we want to get your voice in so go ahead and ask your r estion quickly. Thank you, basically i would like to have you envision a scale between marxism and rescism and say that we are a country that has always been central not either extreme and in order to pursue the moderate vision of freedom and liberty for all, how do you note moral integrity of individuals because lsfind it very difficult. I am so sorry, eleanor, we will have to leave it there and we will let mr. Gorka rift now. [laughter] first and first theres a problem with your question andd theres a common misinterpretation, there isnt a scale of populism on opposite ends, the nazi party was called the National Socialist worker party of germany, fascism is a leftwing doctrine, with regards to your second point, moral, you judge them by what they do, obama may have been good at reading and also prepared speeches but what he did to apologize for this country is how he should be judged forever. Donald trumps style from queens is not what is the measure of the man, the measure of the man is how we are more prosperous, and our enemies fear us and our friends love us, thats how you measure somebodys moral fiber, fabulous question. China is our biggest threat. Yes t. I got my clearances read, the intel, i realized, we will deal with isis and iran and russia, the only strategic level threat we face is china, they wish to displace us but we have a plan under President Trump to deal with them.
