In one important analysis, Gorka detailed the differences between MAGA's readiness to govern from the executive branch in the incoming administration and President Trump's first term.
“We didn't have 20 people in senior positions who understood what MAGA was and knew what they were doing,” Gorka said at the beginning of Trump's first term. talked about. “among them 60 minutes I said in an interview that we are a bunch of merry rebels who have taken over the world's largest bureaucracy, and therefore we are vulnerable. Because A: Our boss is a businessman from Manhattan who had no idea how completely evil this swamp was. I mean, guys like his chief of staff, General Kelly, could have been a general in the Marine Corps. It pains me to say this because I love the Marines and I taught them for two and a half years at Quantico, but they were evil demagogues. ”
Gorka emphasized that “MAGA's influence was small and eliminated very quickly.”
He cited Alex Vindman, director of European Affairs at the National Security Council, and former chief of staff Mark mentioned Mr. Milly. .
Mr. Gorka pointed out that President Trump selected important positions this time around who he could trust and who would carry out his policies, and argued that “lessons have been learned.''
“Why would President Trump appoint Kash Patel, Alina Haba, me, Harmeet Dhillon? Why would we go into the White House or the Justice Department? Because he now understands that he faces 700 years in prison because he is the biggest threat to the regime because he has not done so,” Gorka said.
“He's not a union property, he's not a Big Pharma property, he's not a property of the Defense Military Industrial Complex, so he's got people around him who just know what they're doing. “There has to be people who can be trusted to carry out the America First, MAGA agenda.”
Gorka noted that the American people gave the Trump administration the mandate to implement policy, but said, “It's not easy.”
“I mean, look at what's going on with the presumptive confirmations of Cabinet members. The institutional Republican Party is already trying to say, 'No, the wishes of 77 million Americans don't matter.'” Mr. Gorka told Mr. Marlowe and Mr. Boyle. “And more than that, I know now that the deep state is conspiring against us. They are plotting against us as they did about how they are now spending the budget to win.'' The White House doesn't have the money to hire people. ”
Gorka stressed that bureaucrats “run the government regardless of who is president” and that Trump and his incoming administration are “an existential threat to the establishment.”
“It's not going to be easy, but this is very, very, very different from the 2017 White House,” he added.
