John Lott Jr. Tells Us About Biden's New Universal Background Checks
"Talk Second Amendment. It is Friday. And we need an update on what the Biden administration is trying to do to take away the civil right that protects all the others and we are going to connect with the man who knows. He literally wrote the book on firearms, control the attempts to the nude you of your rights, more guns, less crime, and so many others, Doctor John lott, welcome back to America first. No, it's great to talk to you again, sub. Thanks for having me on. So a few days ago, I asked for your assistance. You very graciously via text, helped explain to me what on earth it is that Biden administration is trying to do. So will you talk to us about the so called universal background checks and the latest skullduggery coming out of the Democrats? Yeah, I have to say one of the biggest ironies is Biden goes to California to go and advocate for all sorts of new gun control laws. California already has all those laws and yet the reason why he's going there is because they've been having a spate of mass public shootings. In fact, if you look over the years, what you find is that since California's head, these laws, they've had many more higher per CAPiTA rate of mass public shootings than the rest of the country. So it's not really obvious to me why somehow we want to go and emulate what's going on in California and such, I would go and argue that there are types of gun control laws, the restrictions that they have have actually been responsible for these attacks and all the gun free zones that they've created there, the fact that in Los Angeles County where he was at last year they had only one concealed carry permit for every 5000 600 adults

Jim Carafano Is Back From India!
"It's Friday. He's here with his posse. His Jim carafano, the vice president of the concerted mothership, the heritage foundation, joined today heritage dot ORG. You're back from India. I'm so jealous a nation I want to go to have not been to. Did you have any good curries? For pretty much, that's all you got. One of the fastest growing economies in the world, probably be one of the largest economies in the world within a decade, have a population, probably bigger than China, absolutely crucial for containing China, and I think really a great partner for the freed nations of the world. You know, I've known their foreign minister Jai shankar for decades. And I think really the genius behind Modi's foreign policy. And it's revolution. I mean, this is a country. If you remember, they were a non aligned country. Yes. That was a completely socialist government and completely anti American, as you could possibly get. And look how far that relationships come, some really incredible.

Boris Epshteyn Reacts to Eric Swalwell's Latest Comments
"Republican rhetoric has put a target on the backs of all law enforcement. And I say that with concern with two brothers who serve as police officers and walk the beat every day because if you're hearing defund the FBI and that the FBI was responsible for a false flag operation, you don't distinguish between an FBI special agent and police officer in your community. You just consider it as law enforcement and the quote unquote deep stated. And so that's why we saw the attack that we did at the FBI field office. And we're going to continue to see attacks on law enforcement. So a couple of comments and I will unleash the baron. Number one, he thinks the average American doesn't know the difference between a police officer and a federal agent. Number two, this is the man who had sex with a Chinese intelligence officer. And number three, he wants us to believe that it's the Republicans who want to defund the police. Your reaction baron. This is the alternate world that Democrats will, of course, is the president a little bit. Defund the police is what Democrats have been pushing is a radical Democrat souls back to you have done. They've ruined destroyed cities like Philadelphia, New York, Chicago, Detroit. Washington D.C.. This has been a disaster under Democrat rule. Democrats have ruined safety. They've ruined American American cities and they've unleashed a crime wave. Any we've seen before. Swollen knows it. He's just lying about it because that's what he does. He's a liar.

Poll: Democrats Now Sympathize More With Palestinians Than Israelis
"Is the baron Boris Epstein. Welcome back to America first. Happy Friday. Happy Friday my friend. It's an honor to be with you and honor me with the audience that is beautiful Friday it is president Trump dominating the polling winning all across the spectra putting on putting out powerful videos but a great week. Yeah, we played clips for two clips from his video at the top of the show. If he keeps on doing that, he will be just fine substantive policy videos, but you mentioned polling. Let's talk about a poll that I'm sure disturbs you, my dear friend. This is from the daily caller, Kate Anderson. I need you to react, especially when it comes to how these people vote in the federal elections. Democrats now sympathize more with Palestinians than Israel for the first time in decades, the latest polling, this just blows my mind. This is from Gallup Boris. Help me understand this. Now, 49% of registered Democrats have a preferential view of the Palestinian authority over Israel and the pro Israel vote has sunk to 39%. Do these people not understand the difference between these two communities? They do not understand it. And it is absolutely disappointing, depressing and awful, that the left in America, Ilhan Omar, she looked like AOC, Jim Clyburn, Nancy Pelosi. Their push to anti Israel, anti zionist, like beyond anti semitic agenda so far that now as well as pulling low solo with American public. President Trump stood for his move the U.S. embassy to Jerusalem he took out from Soleimani, he fought for Israeli independence. He recognized the goal on heights and he was the best friend to the State of Israel, really an American history, but now you've got the left, let's just be honest, there isn't just about being anti Israeli or anti zionist, anti semitic.

Martin Tuason on the New Gun Taking the Industry by Storm
"Tourists on welcome to America first. Thank you for having me. So much to discuss, your sister told me you love to talk, so this will not be a difficult interview. She said, I said, these are the questions I want to ask, what else should I ask that? You don't need any more questions. He loves to talk. Tell me about this gun that has taken the industry by surprise, looks very different, shoots very different and apparently has a very different internal mechanism. Tell us about the 5. Well, the 5, first of all, we nicknamed it the Mona Lisa as we were developing it over 7 years. It has a patented recall system, basically what it does without getting into all the science of it. It changes the way the gun has a recoil and how it absorbs into the body. So that it is a more manageable recoil, more straight back than up and down, like a flip, you know, with your cadence and stuff like that for your second shot. It's much easier to keep your optics and your gun on target and go for that second, third, fourth, 5th, 6th, tenth shot, you know, as quickly as possible. And of course, the trigger system in there is a single action trigger with a 1911 grip, so it points true, not like some other striker fires out there or something like that. And when I say striker fire, it's because it looks like it's a striker fire. But it's got a hammer inside, right? So it's got a much better trigger. Oh yes, internal hammer fired. It comes with about a 5 pound trigger, but it feels like it's one.

Jim Carafano Unpacks the Various Balloon Stories FLOATING Around
"Carrano JJ caravan are to his friends on Twitter. It seems as if every permutation, the balloon story gets worse. Now we know apparently a hobby club has claimed one of the balloons that was shot down. What's it going to be next? The girl scout, so we're attacking. Yeah, so to be clear on this, when the first of all, there's no question that the first balloon blown to China, they set up a lot of China. Surveillance platform. It was not directed. And so the notion that it just drifted its nonsense. It was emitting. And it was passing over a U.S. targets. So clearly that was a spy thing. When they announced the other balloons, my first reaction, you know, because you always go with what's the most logical explanation for what you have. Is it would not surprise me having gone through the risk of doing this that the Chinese would send multiple craft at multiple attitudes in different configurations just in case. To try to get as many gaps as they threw and get through. So to me, if they all turned out to be Chinese blues that made perfect sense. Well, you know, now we find out that first of all, they backtrack the first balloon to China. They actually followed it from the launch in China. Right. So these other balloons, okay, if they tracked one, wouldn't you expect the others to have a track, right? If you actually, now that they've released the flight, the discussion of the F-16 crew, they shut down one balloon. It's very clear that what they're describing is not a surveillance balloon, right? And so I don't really at this point know what is worse. If we had been attacked by three more balloons or the fact that the U.S. government in a moment of panic randomly shot down three balloons over the United States.

Atrial fibrillation, hyperlipidemia, which means your blood has too many lipids. Reflux. Stiff gait based upon spondylosis of the spine and peripheral neuropathy.

I'm a doctor, I pronounce you free of those, although it's just a PhD.

Why would that be? I'm sure it's by accident. I didn't mean anything by it. But just skipped over it. Oh, well, it's obvious that he's in such great shape. He can't string towards together, doesn't know where he is. Doesn't know who the vice president is, doesn't know what year it is. Why do a cognitive test? Why waste time? It's obvious what they're

How Do Other Nations See Us? Jim Carafano Explains
"With our good friend our Friday Nash security buddy. He is the vice president of the heritage foundation. I hope you remember, go right now, heritage. Jim, you're a 5 O one three year foundation. You do not do politics, but your identity is conservative. We've talked about how other nations look at us in response to the balloon, whatever story. Got to ask you, how do other nations look at us when somebody who says they're conservative was a former chairman of the RNC, says something like this and uses the word fascism in the current context, play cut. But you know what is increasingly becoming a thing? Fascism, from Republican lawmakers appearing alongside Nazi apologists to coup defenders getting plum committee assignments to public expressions of belligerent nationalism and racism. We're getting a pretty clear picture of what fascism can look like in America. The stagnant ineffectual party isn't just about dysfunction. It isn't about it's just isn't about failure to move an agenda. It's about settling partisan score. That's what dictators do. That's the former chairman of the RNC, Michael Steele. From a foreign policy's perspective, what ramifications are there, where the former head of a party says, my party is dictatorial and fascist. Well, you know, it's funny that you ask that question because I was just in two different countries. And in the last two days, I hosted heritage. We hosted a 160 different international visitors in two days. So I've had a lot of conversations. I think that you were a bunch of fascists. Well, this is the thing is there are two minds. One is when they hear that they're saying that's just crass, partisan, ugly, politics. They see through it.

The Heritage Foundation's Jim Carafano on Chinese Surveillance
"With some very sexy stuff, nuclear artillery when you're in the army. Can we hypothesize what they're looking at? Are they mapping power grids or are they mapping military installations? What are utility to the system? Well, see this to me is the truly intriguing question because China has an exquisite and growing satellite capability, particularly at low earth orbit, which are perfect for surveillance of, and so the question is, if they've got really good eye in the sky, what do they need to do? Why do they need this? Now, we should make clear as we use aerostats. The Russian Jews them, you can do some pretty cool things. But they're like niche capabilities. You want to loiter in a specific place. Or something. And so the question is, what niche thing are the Chinese looking for that they think they have to do this? So here's an interesting historical. During the early years of the Cold War, the way we got Intel on the Soviet missile fields is we flew aircraft over at such an incredibly high altitude in such a revolutionary airplane that the Russians couldn't they would fly up and the planes would literally fall out of the sky. They couldn't hit us until they could hit us. And what was the Russian response to that? They didn't say anything. They never admitted that it was happening because they didn't want to be so embarrassing control their own airspace. Right. We just showed the world that we can not control American airspace.

It Wasn't China's First Spy Balloon With Jim Carafano
"Let's just play because it horrified me. This is a one star air force general. Who's asked about Americans rights to know what the flip is going on. Cut 5 Patrick Reid at Brigadier rider. Position of the balloon classified? Phil right now, what we're not going to do is get into an hour by hour location of the balloon again. We're monitoring it closely. As I mentioned right now, it's over the center of the continental United States. That's about as specific as I'm going to get. I understand by being convenient, but as the public not have a right to know the public certainly has the ability to look up in the sky and see where the balloon is. Yeah, because you can see balloons at 60,000. So you can tell us where Santa Claus says, but you can't tell us where the balloon is. I mean, this is just ridiculous nonsense. So one of the to me, one of the stunning things here is that's come out today is they've acknowledged that the Chinese have done these balloons before. And not just here in Guam over military targets in Hawaii over military targets. Apparently there's one in Canada, which is where we have our strategic early warning system. So is this supposed to reassure us? Right. And all of a sudden, why did they tell us? And here's blinken was going to China today. Now, can reassure me that the U.S. government didn't know that this overflight was happening. And they were sending blink in the China and hoping that nobody actually noticed it.

"Pitched to me a very interesting service that you provide. What is sentinel protective strategies all about jock? Okay, so we empower people to really use the Second Amendment to their advantage. The Second Amendment is there shall not be infringed. Having spent 20 years in law enforcement and ten years in the private security industry looking after Fortune 500 CEOs and the likes, you know, people should be secure in their homes. I know they say you like this one. An English minimum man is his cassette as the home is his castle. Right. And everybody appears so and that's why we have laws within each state that's commonly referred to as the castle doctrine. You have the right to stand your ground and you're on home and protect your family. So what we did is we designed a training program. So we'll go out somewhere. We will look at somebody's property, we'll do a residential risk assessment, let them know whether we are. So you will go to them instead of people going to some training facility and learning how to shoot or do self defense. You will look at their situation in situ. Absolutely. Yeah, we don't draw people in and throw 20 people in the classroom and just throw information at them. I will go into somebody's house. They know their house better than anybody.

"You can follow him on Twitter at JJ carafano vice president of the heritage foundation. Jim, can you cut through the noise and just get to the signal of the last two weeks when it comes to these classified documents? Or maybe most useful is you help us in terms of how other nations look at us when these issues like Afghanistan and withdrawal and everything else. When TSS CI documents are next to the paint cans in the garage. This doesn't look like a serious country, does it? Yeah, so we should let's talk about that person. We'll talk about what's actually going on here because you raise a really good point. Just a few weeks ago, Joe Biden was on top of the world. I mean, he didn't get trusted in the midterms. It was like he basically pushed through a ton of his leftist agenda, so he could turn to the left to say, look, I accomplish what you want. And he was so emboldened. And then to me, it's really careful. So emboldened that even went to the border, of course, had been criticized for not doing that for two years, and now he goes, why? Because you feel so strong and so powerful that it can go to reports lie his way through this and get away with it, right? I am impervious to this. And you have two weeks later, he is really under assault. And I think it shows the fragility of his power. And so I think very much world leaders are back to where they were. Before the midterms worrying about, does this guy really have what it takes? Is he really solid? Is he really the leader of this country? You go from such a seemingly powerful position to stumbling over talking points from his lawyers about the documents. Right. And he has a distracted. And because they don't really think he is a strong foreign policy president, even in Ukraine. We have to remember he was dragged into Ukraine. His national security adviser Sullivan, every day says, let's just cut a deal and get the hell out of there, right? So Brits were embarrassing us in terms of their forward leaning. You know, even look at Iran. I mean, the Europeans have been really tough on sanctioning the Iranians on their human rights abuses. And the administration is almost been adrift. So I think the world opinion is we're back to maybe this isn't the guy that's going to be around in two years and maybe isn't the strongest partner right now. So that's true. The substance of it, as you know, is in the military for 25 years. And I had a clearance every day. And I dealt with classified information in my entire career. So there's a couple of things on this. First of all, they tacitly said, yeah, we miss handled documents. Yeah. Right. Well, that's wrong. And when they say we inadvertently did this, that's a completely meaningless statement. No matter. If you go, if you leave a top secret document in a Starbucks, when you walk away because you're sipping on your pumpkin latte, or you hand it off to a Russian agent, it's still wrong, it doesn't matter why you did it. These documents were given to you as a trust and you violated that trust. If your bank called you up and said, you said, we lost all your money. We're sorry. It was a mistake. You're like, but it doesn't matter. You're still lost my money. Dude. So they've actually admitted that they did something wrong. I think the second thing is, when people say, well, contrast this with Trump, with Trump, it was a dispute over custody of the documents. Yes. It was never a question of these documents weren't properly maintained or compromised. It was a question over who should own them. That's actually a dispute. That's not a crime. That's not even doing anything wrong because he was a president what Biden did is clearly wrong. And so and I think the worst thing of all is and this happened months ago, the DoJ and The White House intentionally planned to bury this entire story and there were never going to talk about it, even though what they did was worse than Trump and they use this thing to hammer Trump politically. And they were just going to ignore their problems. And just send that to the American people. And not only that, not only did they know about it months ago, not only did they know about it before the midterms and sit on it. These are documents from 6 years ago. They've been floating around Jim, not for a month or two months, 6 years. And you can't assume that because, well, the documents are still there. Nothing was compromised, right? Because people who spies who aren't stupid, and there are a few in this world, if that is a classified document, it's not folks. But let's pretend that I'm not going to steal that document. It's not classified, but hey, what? You don't need a minox camera from a James Bond movie. I think people have cameras in their phones, right? You would make a copy of the document. You wouldn't run. Nobody steals the documents. Hanson didn't steal the documents. The pumpkin papers they copy the documents. And because they don't want you to think they're gone. But the most powerful thing is what he said about if the bank loses your money. Nailed it. That's why he's a regular every Friday Jim carafano, follow him JJ caravan on.

"Account. This is cotton 9 the head of Homeland Security. Fema is providing emergency food and shelter program funds to help cities around the country recover or defray the costs of non citizen arrivals. CBP and ice are working closely with cities to share information and coordinate the disposition of non citizens in immigration enforcement proceedings. Just the orwellian phraseology, non citizen immigrants. There's a legal term for that, and it's not non citizen immigrants. It's illegal aliens at the section of Homeland Security is using that phraseology, but Jim, fema being used to shelter and home house illegal immigrants. Is that why we created the federal emergency management agency? So we should unpack this because this is so wrong in so many ways. Fema, which was created by Jimmy Carter, bring together disparate bits of agencies for the express purpose of there is a disaster that impacts Americans, we all rush in as a nation to help in female helps coordinate that. A hurricane. Whatever forest fire. Tornadoes. 9 11? It was not designed to house illegal immigrants. This is an absolute, and so that's wrong. You're taking resources, what do we do when there's a disaster? They won't be there for Americans. That is absolutely wrong because we don't know when the next disaster is going to strike. So literally I can guarantee you, if there's a disaster on the scale of what we just saw in California with a flooding, there will be people there will be American citizens that won't help because fema is housing illegal immigrants that Joe Biden brought in the United States. Every cartel members dream. I can take that video and it is yet another ad, don't worry. Americans will take care of you. They will house you. They will feed you. They can use that video to pitch the immigrants, use my human trafficking cartel, give me the 5000, the $7000, because hey, look, the Americans have said, we're going to build you camps and we're going to feed you. So it's an incentive for more illegal immigration, of which they don't have a plan to deal with the illegal immigration they have now. And here's the number one bottom line. Who's paying the bill for all this? We are. This is the world's largest human trafficking network. No country in the world has a border policy like this. No country in the world intentionally imports millions of illegal people and then pays everything on the burn the American taxpayer.

To the point of how others look at our policies, such as the border policy, how remarkable is it? We played the clip as soon as it can happen last week, that the president of Mexico at an open press conference in front of the international press community thanks President Biden for being the first president to not build one meter of border wall. How weird is that Jim? Well, look, he's making a ton of money off of this. His corrupt officials are making money off of this. The cartels. But to publicly say it. Yeah, well, because they have no fear. They're the fear of this president. There's administration, right? And what's going on? And this is part of my frustration is we don't really grasp the magnitude of what's wrong here. You know, we talk about the numbers of illumination. We talk about the COVID deaths. We talk about the cartels. This is destabilizing the entire western hemisphere. And it's hugely advancing the Russians and the Iranians, the Chinese, all these things are linked together. We are building a crisis in our own backyard of our own making. And then when leaders who are validly anti American, applaud us for what we're doing, that should be a red flag for people. Well, she was in Arizona and Kamala Harris was asked because I think she was made the borders arena and she had a very strange response to what her priorities are. Cut 7 play cuts. You decided not to visit the border. Can you tell me why? I am here to talk about what we are doing around bringing down the cost to American families and creating jobs. Let me say on the border that it is one of our highest priorities. Do you have any plans to visit the border in Arizona? I've visited the border. I will not on this trip, but I have and I will, again. So just to disconnect that I'm not going to the border because I'm here to deal with jobs. How is that not connected, Jim? Well, first of all, when you say this is one of our highest priorities. Okay, so we have, we are having illegal aliens come to this country unprecedented rate by the end of Biden's term. The illegal population in the United States will be more than double what it was when he came in as president. The border has been never less secure. We are more at risk now to a tourist attack than we were on 9 11. The level of crime and drugs and opioids. So if this is your highest priority, then basically you just admitted that you have absolutely and completely failed in the highest party. And what do you do when you're a politician? And the things that you're supposed to do don't work, you talk about something. You don't talk about something else. And she did, she talked about electricity, she tried to explain it. It was funny in a sad way. I'm Sebastian gorka. This is America first. Don't forget we are on all social media that matters.

Jim Carafano Explains Why FEMA Is So Wrong in So Many Ways
"This is cotton 9 the head of Homeland Security. Fema is providing emergency food and shelter program funds to help cities around the country recover or defray the costs of non citizen arrivals. CBP and ice are working closely with cities to share information and coordinate the disposition of non citizens in immigration enforcement proceedings. Just the orwellian phraseology, non citizen immigrants. There's a legal term for that, and it's not non citizen immigrants. It's illegal aliens at the section of Homeland Security is using that phraseology, but Jim, fema being used to shelter and home house illegal immigrants. Is that why we created the federal emergency management agency? So we should unpack this because this is so wrong in so many ways. Fema, which was created by Jimmy Carter, bring together disparate bits of agencies for the express purpose of there is a disaster that impacts Americans, we all rush in as a nation to help in female helps coordinate that. A hurricane. Whatever forest fire. Tornadoes. 9 11? It was not designed to house illegal immigrants. This is an absolute, and so that's wrong. You're taking resources, what do we do when there's a disaster? They won't be there for Americans. That is absolutely wrong because we don't know when the next disaster is going to strike. So literally I can guarantee you, if there's a disaster on the scale of what we just saw in California with a flooding, there will be people there will be American citizens that won't help because fema is housing illegal immigrants that Joe Biden brought in the United States.

Is Bitcoin a Hyped-Up Fraud? Economist Dave Brat Weighs In
"Dimon JPMorgan just said something on live television that look, I'm not an economist, you're The Economist, but I've been saying this for three or four years now. Bitcoin is a con. If you thought Fiat currency was bad, Bitcoin is Fiat currency on steroids and listen to what Jamie Dimon said cut to. He mentioned Bitcoin, you said you didn't know what we were talking about. We pretty much always have some crypto conversation with you. I'm just curious because I don't think we've talked to you since I think all that's been a waste of time and why you guys waste any breath and it's totally beyond me. Because you just think the whole thing is going to zero. Going to zero is fake. Bitcoin itself is a hyped up fraud. It's a pet rock. Back to that. Really? Of course. Bitcoin is a hyped up fraud. It's like a pet rock. Wow, isn't that going to affect the market, Dave? Yeah, no, I don't put any bets down or give financial advice. Blockchain is here to stay. Blockchain as a technology, right? Yeah. Right. Yeah, right. Right. The general right in the idea that it's unhackable or very hard to hack. And then that DeFi decentralized finance is great. Every conservative libertarian minded loves all of the logic there. And Jamie, you know, he's just overstating. Different bets on different firms is a different matter. Now, I'm not going to get in the weeds on that. But one of these is going to come out okay. And the reason they'll come out okay is because it's built on the same foundation that the dollar is. And that's faith that it will work. And if enough people have faith that it will hold value and that they'd rather have that hold their value than the U.S. dollar hold their value over time and maybe appreciate a little bit. Hey, that sounds interesting to me, but it's an if. Right. And in my name toward any of it. Right, but it's an if. It's an if. If people have faith in it, if the market wants it.

You get $15 off, you get the American tervis America first service tumblr, the America first mug, and your choice of America first hat, you can have the truckers style. You can have the camo, the black or the taupe. We have them here in studio. Come on, guys. Show us, come back. We have the I love this time. I have one on my desk all the time. So stay frosty. We've got the mug. That says America first underneath, it's got the American Eagle because that's how hardcore we are. And then you've got your choice of these lovely made in America hats. You've got the truckers. We've got the camo, love the camera. We've got the kind of business casual cocky and the classic blue. And one man is going to get his choice for free. Is our guest? No? Do you know? Classic blue. Oh, of course. All right. Merry Christmas. It's in the heritage foundation colors. Indeed? Could you not do that? And it's a decent hat. Oh my God, yeah. Is that nice? Okay. It is a serious hat. I love actually ball caps. All right, can we talk serious stuff? No, because I have a hat. So you're always on the road. You're always look at that handsome devil. You're always on the road. You just got back from Germany again. We just got back from Israel, Katie and myself. And this incredibly smart Israeli kid took us on a tour underneath Jerusalem on the newly discovered pilgrim road from the cleansing pool all the way up to the temple. They found the 2000 year old road that Jesus walked on. And we're talking politics we're talking archeology and he says one thing to us he says, you know how tough it is to be Israel right now because we had four years where you are our ally and then four years where you're trying to help our enemies. We feel like America is schizophrenic. Isn't that interesting? Well, you know, I think we've talked about this before is we are schizophrenic. And it is. But to hear it from an Israeli. But I tell my Friends, this is the America that you have to expect, which is the most important. And you know, as a guy who does strategy, the most important thing you want from your Friends and the enemy is to know what the heck they're going to do, right? And the reality is, is what's changed in American politics is we used to say, at the water's edge. Yes. And now because we have two political parties, which are less diverse and really reflect two very divergent visions for America. Internally, they're less diverse. Exactly. Right. Because in the old days, you could go and you could build a coalition for policy for Republicans and Democrats. Both sides. Right. And so you could say, here are my hawks, my democratic hawks and Vietnam here are my democratic hawks and Republicans and together we and you can't do that now because the parties are kind of ideologically opposed. And so what happens is instead of politics ending at the water's edge, foreign policy becomes an extension of domestic politics. Now this isn't true. Look, we're all strong on NATO. We get that. We're going to support Ukraine. We get that. But when you get to things, for example, when a Biden is in power, they're going to walk in, hi, I'm the American Secretary of State. Tell me what you're doing about diversity and then talk to me about your agreement agenda. Right. And that's the opposite. That's the big deal. Okay, we managed to lock him in. I want dreamt to stay here because we opened the show with the discussion of the latest Twitter drop. It mentions one of our good friends, a great conservative, saving campuses, once got out of time. Charlie Kirk, are you there? Doctor gorka, yes, sorry for the delay. It's been a wonderful day as you can imagine. All right. It's so appreciative when you texted that you're going to make time for us. We've just got like a minute or two. Your reaction is one of the people who we now have evidence was shadow banned was throttled by Twitter executives, including the CEO, your response. Are you buoyed by this? Should we be depressed, angry? What's Charlie Kirk thinking? Well, I feel vindicated because, I mean, Seth, I've been coming on your program for a while, but we could pull up in the archives where I was saying, I've been shadow banned, I've been censored and some people just rolled their eyes and they said whatever. And so now this is verifiable smoking guns, a brooder film proof that, yes, I was targeted by name, do not amplify threat tag, this tag they do not give to Iran, Ayatollah Khomeini or to Hamas or to any other hostile actors. No, Charlie Kirk's Twitter account was a threat. And I know you're up against a tough break here, 7. I can appreciate that because I have to do them every day. So we can talk about it after the break, but there's a path forward here. Will you stay on for our video feed in the break and we'll talk about it in the break and we'll get into jumping as well. In the meantime, before we go to cut to commercial, where can people hear your long reaction? Do they go to the podcast that they go to your Twitter feed? Where?

Jim Carafano on What Sets the U.S. Apart From Russia and China
"You've served this nation in uniform for more than 20 years in the U.S. Army. You fought the Cold War, are you ashamed of what we represent in terms of the administration and business leaders? So this is ironic. Because on the one hand, they talk about global norms and all this other human rights. Right. But on the other hand, when China or Iran or even Russia to these horrific terrible things, they just feel muted and embarrassed. And I think this is the difference between them and us. And by us, I don't mean we are neocons that want to go out and bomb everybody and bend everybody to America as well in the world. It's this notion of this is when we talk about America's global interests and responsibilities. It's not the World Economic Forum and globalism and global governance. It's about what's in the best interests of the American people and often we find out it is standing up for, you know, I say this all the time. What's the difference between us and Russia and Iran and the United States fundamental America and all the countries and people in America and that we have all kinds of different things. But fundamentally, we and the free world, whatever you want to we believe in basic human rights, not being beaten up and thrown in jail, not being allowed to pray. We believe in human rights, we believe that the governments ought to be elected by their people and the government ought to be accountable to their people. And we believe that I don't care some version of the free market system, whatever you want to call it. You work hard, you should get rewarded for that, right? And you should have private property. Exactly. Right. We believe in those things. China, Russia, Iran, they don't believe in any of those things. And not only do they not believe in them, they see their mere existence. As a threat to them. As the ultimate obstacle, the expansion of their power and influence and it must be destroyed. And that is why if you are in Moscow and Beijing in Tehran, you wake up every morning with one that today I hope is the last day America is in the world.

Why Is the Biden Regime So Silent on China? Boris Epshteyn Explains
"China. I think he's been speaking at my notes. Let's listen to president Trump's son, who had this interesting explanation as to why this administration is eating 200 lobsters at the state dinner last night in The White House and seeing nothing about the events in China. Almost shocked that the level of silence. And then I remembered, you know what? China's $1 billion investment into Hunter Biden when he flew over there on air force two and walked away. You know, China invested in a lot of crackheads folks. It's what they do. They definitely don't do other diligence than that. They get every crackhead and they give them a billion dollars into their fund, right? No, no, no. That investment is paying off in spades right now, folks. Yeah, very wise investment on behalf of Beijing when vice President Biden flew to China with his son on air force two. We played multiple times or played it again with our next buddy Jim carafano. The clips from Kirby from The White House saying no, we're not going to comment on the events occurring in China, which are utterly historic as somebody born in a former communist dictatorship whose family got out of there. Did you ever expect to see this from? I don't care political parties. Any political administration in America now? No. This is not America. And let's be honest, if you look at the history of America in the fight against the Soviet Union, Soviet communism, the same that Nixon was a Cold War warrior, Carter became a Cold War warrior. And Reagan was a call. It was bipartisan. JFK, LBJ. It was bipartisan. Right. Bill Clinton was strong, right? The events in the former Yugoslavia, right? Lack of leadership. The lack of presence. The lack of hegemonic from this administration isn't just troubling. It's treasonous. That's what it is. They are selling our country down the river,

How Did Russia Gain Access to Iranian Drones? James Carafano Explains
"Iran. I just mentioned Ukraine Jim, we talked to Jim carafano vice president heritage. Can you just for the sake of those who aren't national security wonks like us? Just walk us through this thing that Russia is using Iranian drones to bomb civilians in Ukraine. Can you explain how that happens? Well, I'll give you one better. Go ahead. How did those growing get to Russia? Get to Russia. And the answer is they were put on commercial Iranian airlines, and they were thrown through airports. Some of them like Heathrow. To Russia. So there's a big hole in the sanctions regime here. We're letting the Iranian commercial airlines funnel weapons. To Russia. And the other reporting, which is kind of mind boggling is there are Iranians in Ukraine, operating these drones. And some of them have already been killed, which essentially means Ukraine is a party to the conflict. And every single sanction that we're committing to the Russians, they should be committed to the Ukrainians. So

Well, let's give you the truth about the state of the military every year our buddies at the heritage foundation, the conservative mothership, launch published an incredible book. It is a ranking of the militaries of the state of the U.S. Military. It has newly been released this year's edition and it has a shocking finding about America and we are delighted. I saw the news had to get him on by phone, the vice president of heritage colonel, doctor Jim carafano, welcome back. Hey, it's great. Great to be with you. You know, this is our 9th edition of the index. And the reason why we started this was because as somebody who's been worked with DoD forever, you know this. Every time DoD would do an assessment, a quadrennial defense review, whatever. Whatever administration is Republican Democrat, they would just redo the baseline so everything came out fine. Yeah. And so you could not go from one and we can go back to things for decades. The bottom up review, the base, whatever. You could not go from one to the other and say, are we better or worse? Because they all adapted standards of measure to accommodate their politics. The game was rigged. So what we did was we established a baseline of looking at the U.S. Military in the same way every year. And as you know, just, it doesn't matter just what you bring to the fight. It also matters what your enemy has and where you're fighting. Let's go back in time. You and I are of a certain vintage. The big publication during the Cold War was the military balance. Do you remember out of London a double I double S that ranked the Warsaw Pact forces by country against the NATO, you had to compare apples to apples. That's the key. Right. And to be honest with them, they still do this. The it's useless. Because it gives you a bunch of statistics with no context.

So this is weird, you know, I was in the army for 25 years. I was never deployed to a combat zone once. And in the last two months, I've been in two combat zones, so you had two busy playing with those nuclear weapons. I care, right? I guess. So I had another group of experts working with a Polish think tank. So we went to Ukraine. You fly to the border, the Polish border. The Polish border take a train to ten hour train ride to Kyiv. So you and Boris Johnson, secret trainer. Yeah, yeah, everybody takes the secret train ride. It's a private train. It runs at night. The security is ridiculous. Everybody, WeChat our own SEAL Team 6 guy. I mean, it wasn't SEAL Team 6, but they look like social security. Yeah, they look like something out of the movie. And everywhere we had like this arsenal. And I was just like, I've pitied anybody that would come after us. But these were supplied by the Ukraine government. This was actually these were actually supplied by the Polish government. Wow. And so we went to bucha, which is the high water mark of the Russian incursion towards the capitol, which is stunning how close. Where there was basically genocide. Right. So the town horrible, terrible. I mean, one is how close they actually got to the capitol. The other is, is the destruction was just terrible. I mean, including obviously blowing up things that are not military targets in any way. We'll show some photographs and then of course this is a scene of one of the mass burial sites. And tragically on the day we left, they found it even bigger mass barrels. People bound tortured. Families bound together in the latest. Hundreds of people thrown into a hole in the ground. And no matter what you take away from this, no matter what side you're on, if you're a neocon or a restrainer or whatever and you want nobody can think that Putin is a global player.

"Statecraft and leadership. That when necessary, you take risks. And that's what Abe did. I mean, he could have just said, I don't know where self defense force we don't do this. He took a risk to reorient Japan's national security. What he did is he looked at Japan's interests and he look at the threats and he said, what do we have to do to protect our people? And there were two things. One is we have to do more to protect ourselves because who is going to come and work with us. If we don't have skin in the game, right. And then he says, we need our allies. We need the Australians. We need the Indians. We need the Americans. And then he turned to Trump and he said, look, it wasn't golf and that they were buddies. He said, look, I have skin in the game against China. You have problems with China. Working together is not putting America last, working together is putting America first and it's putting Japan first. And it's in both our interests. So Japan first in America first, that was a winning marriage. And I thought, I thought he Donald Trump some lessons that Donald Trump applied in other places. Because then he turned around and went to Europe and said, basically saying, without saying this, why can't you guys be like Japan? Get your head in the game.

"It's incredible. We're still gleaming. The facts of what occurred, his body is still in a morgue, but that doesn't stop the mainstream media like CBS attacking the historic figure that is the late assassinated prime minister of Japan, Shinzo Abe. Abe was Japan's longest serving prime minister when he left office in 2020 due to ill health. A polarizing figure he was a right-wing nationalist and conservative and a fierce supporter of Japan's military. He fought to amend the country's pacifist constitution in the face of the rising threat from China. While in office, Abe met former president Donald Trump several times to reaffirm Japan's military and trade alliances with the United States. His political opinions were controversial. Controversial NPR called him divisive, polarizing and pro military. We'll talk about the broader consequences of this tragedy, but Jim carafano, vice president heritage, isn't that just disgusting? Look, first of all, if we learn any lesson from here, why any nickel of government funding of taxpayer money goes to NPR is beyond me. They allowed the memory of Castro and dictators when they die. And they attack the head of a democracy. The reality is, is Shinzo Abe, the historic character. Single handedly, he was the first leader in Asia to stand up and look and say China is a threat to all of us. And they will destroy all of our democracies and they will impoverish all of us and unless we stand together, we will get crushed. And I will be the first to stand up, I am closest. I am the most weakly armed, I would even have a recognized military and I won't stand for this. And we should not stand for this. And he was one of the leaders that brought India and Australia and the United States together to put the claw together to stand. He revitalized the Japanese military not because he's a militarist, but because he's defending the democracies of his country and his allies. I want to stop here for a second because before Abe for decades, understandably because of World War II, there were constitutional restrictions, a constitution that we helped to write. And they were the national defense forces. They were deemed to be internally focused. But because of China, because of this exam threat, he shepherded Japan into a responsible position to be able to defend itself and its partners that in itself is historic..

Democrats like to say that no one needs an AR-15 for self defense. That no one could possibly need all 30 rounds. But when this rifle is the only thing standing between your family and a dozen angry Democrats and Klan hoods, you just might need that semi-automatic. And all 30 rounds. Now that is how you do political communication for the 3 million of you who are just listening on radio and not watching the video feed. That was Jerome Davison, father author pastor, who's running for Congress in the fourth congressional district of Arizona. He's black, by the way. And the people he had to protect himself from were klansmen, Democrats in white hoods dude, that was such an epic campaign ad. He's with us right now, Jerome, welcome to.

"Com. Breaking news, mister G always sends me the latest man she looks so happy. Can we zoom in on this? This is Marjorie Taylor Greene. The court case has been the case has been thrown out. Marjorie Taylor Greene is qualified for reelection. The fact that that actually has to be something I say on an American radio show is absurd. We are back with our good friend. It's almost his birthday. He is Jim carafano colonel doctor vice president of the heritage foundation. One thing that really got my goat today that I know you will be able to comment on Jim is. So the Biden administration allegedly leaks to The New York Times. They quote unnamed senior intelligence officials that the United States provided intelligence to target Russian generals and the mosque var, the ship that was sunk by the Ukrainians. And that's great. We should celebrate that. The actual public recognition of that vice, the former defense secretary saying, oh, Donald Trump asked me about whether we could use surgical strikes against the Mexican cartels that are killing a 100,000 people with drug overdoses in the last year. Jim, is there a little bit of a double standard in the coverage of those two stories? So, I mean, let's talk about the New York Times story because there's a difference between a leak and I'm telling and that's right. An authorized background. So you can say, you know, oftentimes, they'll say you can say this, but you can not attribute it directly to me. You can say a senior official. Sanctioned anonymous. That's not a leak, right? If somebody leaked this, hey, hey, guess what we're doing, right? That is actually a violation of operational security. That's a completely unprofessional. It's actually, it is actually. It could be, it depends on the information that you're leaking. If that's classified information, that is a crime. If you remember, for example, the senior officer that leaked the information that the U.S. had contributed to stuck next, the cyberattack on the library. And he paid a price for that. So if it's a leak, it's another mark against the professionalism of the U.S. Military leadership. Go ahead and say this. I accentuate an authorized release of information. Let's take some credit for this. It's just kind of amateur hour. You should never be divulging operational activities in the middle of an armed conflict because you're putting capabilities at assets at risking your telling the information. It's like showing your show and your cards. Yeah, it's showing you what you're doing in your plan. Showing your cards in a card game. So during World War II, I know you know this, but during World War II, we actually read the Japanese diplomatic traffic, which essentially the information they were sending back and forth to their embassies, telling them real military secrets. I was called magic. It was a code name. And we were reading the German naval codes. Which again had all this information about what they were and that was called ultra. Did you have a college, give a price? When that information was publicly released. And the answer was over 30. Years after the war, because it wasn't, we weren't just keeping information about.

Mister national security foreign policy, the heritage foundation. You're doing some super exciting things with European members of parliament here meeting with and talking behind the scenes with our buddies across the across the sea, talk to us about Hungary, what you saw in Hungary. And especially this issue that we addressed a little bit with cabin yesterday. Well, it doesn't matter. It's 8000 miles away. And the border is more important or Canada is more important. It was a perspective. And it is disappointing to hear that from fellow conservatives who are the actually have been good in the sense that there are people that when conservatives in Europe were demonized as, well, these guys are fascists and Nazis and everything else. People have the courage to go over there and learn about who these people are and recognize that they have their challenges, but there is so much that we have in common love of family, religion, preservation of democracy, peace through strength. You know, many of the things that we embrace here, and you said that this crisis right now, a true true tragedy could in fact be an opportunity for conservatives everywhere. I mean, I think we can learn it. So I'm glad that they say, okay, we care about Hungary. We care about Poland. We see that one of the things they want. And I go, look, I just went and talked to these people. They care about the Ukraine. They don't want to see Ukrainians. And then they told us, they don't want to be next on the thing. They know where this is going. They want to be free. And it's like, can you understand the people that you like and you admire? They are concerned. We need to be concerned because it's something we share. And this goes to what we were talking about in the last segment about America's transforming, we are moving to a country that wants to set the agenda, not having elite in Washington set the agenda. We are recognizing that really the things that value to us are free markets, decent economy, getting dead under control, secure borders, our families, educating our kids. That's happening in Europe. Yes. And there's a movement that movement and what's going on in America. I think they're going to come together about, I don't know, 2025..

"I have to ask you the question because even on the conservative side there's a conflicting of course because we believe in that. Some people are saying, there was never going to be an invasion that the 130,000 troops was just a blast to get some kind of concession from NATO to say, no, Ukraine could never enter. I don't think you deploy a 130 guys just for diplomatic pressure. What is Jim caravans take on the strategic intent of that actor? Well, the answer is we don't know, because Russians intentionally do disinformation, misinformation, misdirection deception. It's part of what they always do. And that allows them to have you guessing until they do what they're going to do. They have everything in place to evade. If I were a betting man today, right this second. I would bet that they're going to pull a trigger. But it doesn't have to. He doesn't have to. And he could change his mind, right? If he actually was going to invade on Wednesday, as soon as Biden came out and said, we could have been on one day, Putin would go, let's not invade on Wednesday. They don't Thursday. Make gluten look like you look the bite and look like an idiot, right? So I know that sounds like Larry. The guy from the Bernie Sanders invitation. But I don't know if I can tell you. It was my best Putin. But the point is, is, you know, he is, but it's never about the Ukraine. Think about it. Putin is Ukraine never joined NATO. We never gave them offensive weapons. We didn't show it. But it gave up their nuclear weapons in the Budapest court. But I'm saying we never shut down Nord stream two. And Putin's going to invade them anyway, right? If he does as somebody who served in uniform, who follows these things, it's just going to be a partial annexation of eastern territory, correct? I don't know. First of all, I think the Ukrainians are going to fight. And I think they'll fight hard. The one ethnic Russians. No, the ethic Russians will fight hard. You think? I do. You know, the one thing that Putin's actually managed to do is Ukrainian nationalism has gone through the roof. It has. The one thing I think is Putin threatening Ukraine is exactly why everybody wants to join data. Correct. Right. Bingo. But they will fight and here's what we know a lot of people will die. And a lot of people will be displaced. And it's not because anybody threaten Vladimir Putin. No. It's because Putin decided to do it all the blood will be on his hands and all the horror will be on his hands, but the point is is regardless of what happens. It doesn't matter because that's not the endgame. He wants, he wants to reabsorb this post Soviet states, he wants to have dictatorial control over Central Europe. He wants NATO to collapse. He wants America to leave and the biggest cheerleader is the Chinese because they want exactly the same thing. They want a weakened Europe that they can divide and conquer they want to isolate the America America and leave us alone and stranded. And Putin is doing G's work for them. So people say we should really worry about the China. Dude, Putin is their stooge. But it's more than that. China wants the same thing in their region. They want a region where nothing happens without their say. So even if he doesn't invade. He wants to control the future of those countries. Just like China wants to control the future of the nations in the Pacific Rim. We're talking to Jim carafano heritage joined today we'll be back with Jim after these messages. The I haven't really woken up. Until I've had my McDonald's breakfast deal, and I know this is true because before breakfast, I put my phone in the refrigerator and couldn't find the keys that were already in my hand. Nothing gets the morning going like the first dip of an iced coffee. Get any size.

"That. Why did you bring up the former KCB colonel Tim capano? So as we were talking before the break, I just did a swing through Europe. Some of the choices of Europe. Yeah, and it was in Romania and Moldova and I was saying that one of the real, you know, we talk about vaccines here in the differences in those countries, the vaccine usage rate is extremely low. Even though they have plenty of vaccine and they have lots of infrastructure because the countries are bombarded every day with Russian disinformation, saying all kinds of crazy. But use the technical phrase in the break. You said, because the Russians of Boston's. Right. Exactly. Because here's the Russians aren't doing this because they have questions about the vaccines or they want because they're not mandatory in these countries. They're doing it because they want to make these countries as ungovernable as possible. So trying to destabilize. This is what I said. We used to teach together. At these JPM EVs, military institutions, if you just want to understand Russia today, all you need is all I used to say is it is an anti status co actor. They just want to stir. Wherever it is, Middle East, eastern, they just want to stir, right? Just to see what can I get out of it? Destabilize. Because and they're getting people killed. And these aren't like, these aren't like in America to make where I'm young. I'm healthy. I had COVID. These are all vulnerable. These are old, vulnerable. I'm healthy. Who are going to die if they would die if they got the flu for God sakes. And the Russians don't
