00:00:43.000 I want you to know we are lucky to have Charlie Kirk.

00:00:46.000 Charlie Kirk's running the White House.

00:00:49.000 I want to thank Charlie.

00:00:50.000 He's an incredible guy.

00:01:08.000 That's why we are here.

00:01:11.000 Hey, everybody.

00:01:12.000 Welcome to this episode of the Charlie Kirk Show.

00:01:14.000 I am joined by my friend Donald Trump Jr., who has an incredible new book out Liberal Privilege, Joe Biden and the Democrats' Defense of the Indefensible.

00:01:23.000 Don, welcome back to the Charlie Kirk Show and tell us about why you wrote this book and the significance for this book heading into this very important election.

00:01:32.000 Well, a couple of Charlie.

00:01:34.000 I know you were such a big part of, you know, Triggered and even the book tour and everything like that.

00:01:38.000 I had no intention of writing another book.

00:01:40.000 It was sort of one of the unintended consequences really of the quarantine, right?

00:01:44.000 When we were in lockdown, I started writing this book and I decided to self-publish because if that would have lasted two, three, four, five weeks, I wouldn't have actually had time to finish.

00:01:52.000 But with four months, I just started looking.

00:01:54.000 I was at home.

00:01:55.000 You can't go to work.

00:01:56.000 You couldn't do anything.

00:01:56.000 You couldn't go to church.

00:01:57.000 So I'm locked at my house.

00:01:58.000 And as much fun as KG is, you know, I had to do a little bit of work too.

00:02:02.000 It wasn't just pleasure.

00:02:03.000 And I started looking and researching Joe Biden.

00:02:06.000 And I was just astounded how much stuff is out there about Joe Biden that literally no one in the media is talking about.

00:02:14.000 I mean, just refuse to even acknowledge.

00:02:16.000 I mean, these are things that would be totally disqualifying to Trump or any conservative.

00:02:21.000 Joe Biden, it's as though they never happened.

00:02:24.000 And I said, man, 50 years is a long time to not have a record.

00:02:26.000 I mean, that's half a century.

00:02:28.000 You know, sort of my line from the convention speech was, you know, he's the Loch Ness monster of the swamp.

00:02:33.000 And it's true.

00:02:34.000 And liberal privilege is exactly that, right?

00:02:37.000 It's the ability to have, you know, flip-flops through your entire career.

00:02:41.000 It's the ability to have failure.

00:02:42.000 It's the ability to destroy the American manufacturing, American jobs, the middle class, and be able to run on that platform as though you're magically going to now save it despite having spent 50 years destroying it and not being held accountable, not being called out by a mainstream media that you and I have spoken about many times, Charlie, have just totally abdicated their responsibility to inform the American people to be activists for the far left.

00:03:07.000 I mean, I know we've been the recipients of their ire on more than a few occasions, but that's what it is.

00:03:13.000 So I go through Joe Biden's voting record, NAFTA, TPP, China permanent status in the World Trade Organization that destroyed the working class.

00:03:22.000 I go into Joe Biden's health.

00:03:23.000 I interviewed Ronnie Jackson, Admiral Ronnie Jackson, the former White House doctor who observed Joe Biden over years and sees him now, talking about, I wouldn't feel comfortable as a citizen of America to let this guy with obvious cognitive decline be president.

00:03:40.000 And again, if Donald Trump mispronounces a complicated name, every telepsychologist in America is on TV saying he's in the later stages of Alzheimer's and dementia.

00:03:50.000 Joe Biden can't remember where he is most of the time.

00:03:54.000 I mean, he needs a teleprompter to speak to three people.

00:03:56.000 You see when he's doing these sort of cush, like that Anderson Cooper interview, you know, one of the few times he actually answers a question.

00:04:02.000 He's reading notes off the side of the screen because he can't remember basic talking points.

00:04:06.000 I mean, if you've been doing this for half a century, you can't remember like the basic talk.

00:04:12.000 You don't know what your platform is.

00:04:13.000 You don't know what you're saying.

00:04:14.000 You can't remember.

00:04:15.000 You need a teleprompter.

00:04:17.000 It's pretty sad.

00:04:18.000 So it goes through and delineates all of that.

00:04:20.000 It goes through the Biden family, and it's not just Hunter that leeched off of Joe's offices.

00:04:26.000 It's Joe's brother and the sister.

00:04:28.000 And the Biden family has probably made hundreds of millions of dollars living off of Joe Biden's taxpayer-funded office.

00:04:34.000 And he's such a humble public servant.

00:04:36.000 You know, Hunter's $1.5 billion, which is $30 million a year in fees.

00:04:39.000 And the typical fund, as you know, $30 million a year in fees.

00:04:42.000 You think Joe's going to be tough on China?

00:04:44.000 We talk about these things because if we did this, if I took $1.5 from China, Charlie, it would be disqualifying.

00:04:51.000 It would be the end of the world as we know it, according to the media.

00:04:54.000 But for them, nothing to see here, folks.

00:04:56.000 What I love about the title is it's so true because there's all these discussions in America right now around privilege.

00:05:01.000 And you make the argument there's legitimate liberal privilege.

00:05:04.000 So let's talk about one that happened, Don, recently.

00:05:06.000 You and I were both at the last evening, the final evening of the Republican National Convention.

00:05:10.000 The president gave a phenomenal speech.

00:05:12.000 You were on stage.

00:05:13.000 It was a great convention, and you did really well in your speech as well.

00:05:17.000 And then as the president was wrapping up, I was kept on turning around because I heard the thousands of rioters outside.

00:05:24.000 And you and I have dealt with these maniacs before, and I knew how to carefully avoid them.

00:05:29.000 Rand Paul got assaulted outside by the BLM Incorporated left-wing arsonist terrorists.

00:05:35.000 Pastors got assaulted.

00:05:37.000 I want you to imagine, this is liberal privilege in its worst form.

00:05:41.000 Imagine if 4,000 Trump supporters were waiting outside of the Obama White House and were screaming at people that were coming after an evening address on the White House lawn, and Senator Bernie Sanders was assaulted outside of there.

00:05:54.000 That is liberal privilege.

00:05:57.000 100%.

00:05:58.000 You wouldn't even, it would be the biggest story of the month of the year.

00:06:02.000 Nothing but talk about it.

00:06:03.000 Any one of them.

00:06:04.000 But Rand Paul, I mean, he gets assaulted with his wife.

00:06:08.000 And it's not even a single person, not one of his colleagues in Congress even denounced it from the other side.

00:06:14.000 It's like, it's as though it didn't happen, or they're just tacitly accepting of it happening.

00:06:18.000 What's worse about it, though, and it shows you sort of the level of, I guess it's the lack of intellect of these protesters, is they're screaming at Rand Paul, say her name, talking about Breonna Taylor, not knowing that Rand Paul is the guy that introduced the legislation with her name on it for no knock raids.

00:06:36.000 And no knock raids.

00:06:38.000 So they're assaulting the guy that is literally the champion of the cause, which means they know nothing about the cause.

00:06:44.000 They were given some talking points.

00:06:46.000 They were given the bullet points and they were told to go make trouble.

00:06:49.000 If you're doing it from a genuine standpoint, if you're doing it with any sort of modicum of decency and intellectual honesty, you would know what's going on in the case.

00:06:59.000 You wouldn't assault the one senator that actually brought forth this sort of legislation.

00:07:04.000 It just shows you how out of touch they are.

00:07:07.000 And it's truly sick.

00:07:09.000 You know, you saw the DNC with their hate-filled, you know, it was a one-week long I Hate America Zoom call with the production value of my kids' kindergarten Zoom class.

00:07:20.000 And not one person denounced three, four months of rioting.

00:07:25.000 Not one person even mentioned it.

00:07:26.000 It's though it's not happening.

00:07:28.000 It's sad, but I think that was a vision that we saw.

00:07:31.000 I mean, your speech was incredible about these sort of things.

00:07:33.000 And, you know, that's what Americans saw.

00:07:35.000 They saw stories, people living their American dreams, stories that literally could only happen in America.

00:07:43.000 And the left attacks that.

00:07:45.000 Oh, there wasn't enough out-of-touch Hollywood celebrities.

00:07:48.000 Well, and I think their production value was a disaster.

00:07:51.000 And I guess they've lost a lot of their flair for production ever since Harvey Weinstein went to prison.

00:07:56.000 It's pretty sad.

00:07:57.000 Well, and I thought the Republican Convention did an amazing job, and there's a lot of different other positives from it.

00:08:02.000 You remember back in 2016 at the Republican convention in Cleveland, these things are glorified circuses, right?

00:08:08.000 I mean, you have reporters everywhere, people that leak, people that there's fights that break out.

00:08:13.000 What was really interesting, Don, is that there was none of that extra drama around this week's convention.

00:08:17.000 And I just thought of this the other day because I went back in the archives and I read all the coverage of the 2016 convention.

00:08:23.000 And most of the media coverage was happening outside of the convention, not inside of it.

00:08:27.000 And actually, in a very bizarre way, in like one of the greatest cell phones in history, since the Democrats have shut down the entire country, basically, and we were forced to do a virtual convention, which is understandable, the message actually became the top-tier issue instead of all the other kind of protests and pageantry and people screaming at each other.

00:08:46.000 It's a really good point.

00:08:47.000 You know, they would have never touched Alice Johnson or Herschel Walker.

00:08:51.000 That's exactly right.

00:08:52.000 If there was rioting and looting outside of the RNA, then if one Trump supporters brought this Charlotte, look at what they brought here.

00:08:59.000 And if one Trump supporter would have said something mean to somebody, that would have been the front page of everywhere and it would have been distraction from all these other speakers.

00:09:06.000 100%.

00:09:07.000 So, you know, the unintended consequence is that we got to tell a real story, a vision for America, one that explains how America is the greatest country in the world.

00:09:16.000 And again, if you looked at the Democrats, you'd say you live in the most oppressive nation in the world, which is not sellable in any modern context other than when the mainstream media is your marketing wing.

00:09:29.000 And you compare those two things, and it's no wonder they got no bounce and we did.

00:09:34.000 Yeah, so totally.

00:09:35.000 So I'm going to read from one of your chapters here, Unfit to Serve.

00:09:38.000 And by the way, it's a terrific book.

00:09:40.000 I encourage everyone to check it out: Liberal Privilege.

00:09:42.000 And I think it is the most comprehensive takedown of Joe Biden.

00:09:46.000 And what I love most about this book is that it dives deep into the record of Joe Biden, where some conservatives, I hear this quite often, people say, oh, Joe Biden's such a good guy, and I guess he's harmless.

00:09:56.000 You do not take that approach in this book.

00:09:57.000 You don't.

00:09:58.000 You do not take because he's not.

00:10:00.000 That's the image the media wants to sell.

00:10:02.000 That's the image the media wants to sell.

00:10:04.000 Look, it's moderate Joe Biden from Scrinton.

00:10:07.000 No, he left Scrinton when he was eight years old.

00:10:10.000 He moved to the D.C. area.

00:10:12.000 He got his first elected D.C. swamp position in his 20s and has been there for 50 years.

00:10:17.000 Now he's going to fix something?

00:10:19.000 If Joe Biden knew how to fix anything, why didn't he do it already, Charlie?

00:10:22.000 Why didn't he start?

00:10:23.000 It wasn't like he wasn't the VP to the first African-American president in America.

00:10:28.000 Maybe he could have addressed racial inequality.

00:10:30.000 Maybe he could have done something with the First Step Act and prison reform.

00:10:34.000 Maybe opportunity zones.

00:10:35.000 But no, that's the problem. 0.83

00:10:37.000 The Democrats don't want to solve these problems.

00:10:40.000 They want to campaign on them.

00:10:42.000 That's exactly right.

00:10:43.000 If you solve the problem, you know, well, what are you bringing to the table now?

00:10:47.000 Their agenda isn't one to help America.

00:10:49.000 Their agenda is one that's based entirely on dependence.

00:10:52.000 They need you to be dependent on big government.

00:10:55.000 Otherwise, they don't offer you much.

00:10:56.000 So they could have addressed these problems.

00:10:58.000 I mean, I know guys that take a little while to warm up.

00:11:00.000 Okay.

00:11:01.000 It usually takes me 30, 40 seconds in an interview to sort of get in my groove.

00:11:04.000 A half a century is too long. 0.95

00:11:07.000 Like, I don't think anyone in America is dumb enough to believe that Joe Biden's now going to do that. 0.72

00:11:13.000 He's going to be the savior of the middle class and working Americans. 0.95

00:11:16.000 Well, it's sort of weird when you spend the first half a century of your career building China, destroying the middle class, destroying American manufacturing. 0.94

00:11:24.000 Again, TPP, NAFTA, and World Permanent Status of the World Trade Organization. 0.93

00:11:30.000 I mean, these did irreparable damage to America, but the media is running like these are champion of blue-collar workers because he says he is, and no one's calling him out.

00:11:39.000 So, because they've abdicated their role, someone had to step up.

00:11:43.000 And so, like I said, the unintended consequence of the quarantine was I had the time to do this work, and I couldn't believe how much there is that is so damaging, so bad.

00:11:51.000 So this isn't even a book, you know, for guys like you and me who this is really a book for people who don't know, for people who are independents, but realize that the media is just playing favorites, realizing the media is a cheerleader for the left, wanting to hear the alternative, wanting to hear some facts about the other side so they can actually make an informed decision going into November.

00:12:11.000 This book is designed for them because when you realize what's going on, what Joe Biden's really about, you realize, you know, he's not moderate blue-collar Joe from Scranton.

00:12:20.000 He's the Loch Ness monster of the swamp.

00:12:23.000 And you say it so well in chapter two.

00:12:24.000 Quote, Joe Biden might be the original swamp monster.

00:12:27.000 Very well said.

00:12:28.000 He's been part of the establishment for so long, he's put down roots 50 years as a Washington insider, twice as long as I've been alive.

00:12:35.000 That's pretty incredible longevity.

00:12:37.000 I'll give him that.

00:12:38.000 But is today's gaff-prone Biden the same one who started his liberal crusade?

00:12:43.000 The guy we have now, the guy we have now, can't even remember what state he's in half the time.

00:12:49.000 He confuses his wife with his sister, which I hope doesn't happen at home.

00:12:53.000 And to make matters worse, while he's running for president, Biden told voters in South Carolina he was running for a United States Senate seat.

00:12:59.000 And you go on further here and you detail exactly the policies that he argues for.

00:13:03.000 Can you also talk about what he has promised to do through his entire deal with Bernie Sanders?

00:13:09.000 If I'm not mistaken, you also have Bernie Sanders or Chuck Schumer on your cover and you talk about it.

00:13:15.000 And I don't want to misspeak here, but you talk about how this is an entire radical takeover of our government.

00:13:20.000 It's not just Joe Biden.

00:13:22.000 It is.

00:13:23.000 Joe Biden's the vessel to get them there because, again, the media can utilize him as a way to sell.

00:13:27.000 It's just marketing, right?

00:13:28.000 No one believes that Joe Biden's actually in control, even of himself at this point, let alone the Democrat Party.

00:13:34.000 But they can sell to America.

00:13:36.000 This is just moderate, nice guy, Joe.

00:13:38.000 It's all BS, Charlie, but they can do that.

00:13:40.000 But meanwhile, the media got who they really wanted to be in charge, which is Kamala, right?

00:13:45.000 They got that.

00:13:45.000 They got the Bernie Sanders Joint Unity platform on Joe's website where you, the American taxpayer, Charlie, have the privilege of spending $4 trillion in a tax hike that he's saying.

00:13:55.000 He's not even pretending.

00:13:56.000 Middle-class America, we're going to tax you so you can pay for free health care, free education, free lawyers for illegal immigrants to make sure that they get those benefits. 0.85

00:14:06.000 Now, you don't have the privilege, Charlie, of getting that for yourself or for your kids. 0.93

00:14:10.000 You have to pay for that on top of all of it, but you can pay for it for others.

00:14:14.000 I mean, this is a radical Marxist platform.

00:14:17.000 Yes.

00:14:17.000 The destruction of the suburbs, you know, where we're going to say, you know what, all these big cities that you escaped, that you pay a lot of taxes to live in the suburbs.

00:14:25.000 You know what?

00:14:25.000 We're going to eliminate single-family housing.

00:14:27.000 All those cities, those Democrat-run cities and strongholds for 100 years in some cases, they've failed.

00:14:32.000 They've racked up debt.

00:14:33.000 They've run deficits.

00:14:34.000 They're falling apart.

00:14:35.000 They're a total disaster.

00:14:36.000 Just look around.

00:14:37.000 You know what?

00:14:37.000 We're going to give them power over the suburbs, you know, just to give everyone a little bit more.

00:14:42.000 I mean, what this will do to the American middle class, what will do to that sort of suburban American ideal and dream and tradition, it will destroy it along with your property values and ultimately your schools.

00:14:53.000 It's a true scary proposition.

00:14:56.000 But again, if a Republican was proposing legislation this radical, like people would talk about it.

00:15:02.000 The media is pretending like, no, no, no, it's just great moderate legislation while they're laughing that they're probably able to sell a strong and a large portion of the American populace that that's actually true when it's not.

00:15:13.000 And that's why this book is so important.

00:15:14.000 Since literally, I feel like I'm the only person in America, you perhaps with me, actually highlighting these things.

00:15:20.000 I totally agree with them.

00:15:21.000 Against a mainstream media complex that's David and Goliath.

00:15:24.000 I mean, these are billion-dollar companies pushing a narrative, jamming it down your throat, spoon feeding it to you all day, even though it's a lie, not telling the counterpoint, even remotely.

00:15:34.000 Well, what I love about this book is that you challenge the premise.

00:15:38.000 A lot of these conservative circles that we both run in, I hear from even media people on the radio and on television, they say, well, Joe Biden's harmless.

00:15:46.000 And you say, no, your baseline is that he's not harmless.

00:15:50.000 He's actually more harmful because more people will vote for him thinking the policies are different than what they actually are.

00:15:57.000 So that's the thing.

00:15:58.000 He's not a candidate.

00:16:00.000 He's a vessel for the radical left.

00:16:02.000 He's like camouflage for the radical left to push their agenda under the guise of it being a moderate platform.

00:16:08.000 But if you go through that Biden-Sanders Joint Unity platform, like I said, it's literally like the communist manifesto for the new age.

00:16:15.000 It should scare all of us.

00:16:16.000 It will drive our economy into the ground.

00:16:19.000 It will drive already stressed systems, whether that be education or healthcare or anything, into the ground, and it will destroy so much of the American dream to a point where it's probably irreparable.

00:16:29.000 You take that with some of the radical ideas of the left, whether it's stacking courts, statehood for D.C., statehood for Puerto Rico.

00:16:36.000 That way they get a control of the Senate with another four senators.

00:16:39.000 And you have a 50-year power shift where you'd never have, you'd probably never get it back.

00:16:46.000 You'd never get the Supreme Court back.

00:16:47.000 You'd never get the Senate back.

00:16:49.000 And that's how they would implement their Marxist ideology on this country and destroy it in the process.

00:16:54.000 So the title is Liberal Privilege, and I encourage everyone to check it out.

00:16:57.000 Now, Don, you grew up in New York.

00:16:59.000 You spent a lot of time around liberals, not around leftists.

00:17:02.000 Can you talk about how your upbringing, how you have seen what used to be called a liberal now turn into just a radical insurrectionist?

00:17:10.000 This is very helpful for a lot of our younger listeners who sometimes conflate terms because you grew up around what would be called as liberal America, but that's not what's happening right now.

00:17:21.000 No, and it's beyond that.

00:17:23.000 I mean, I think, you know, if you looked at John F. Kennedy today, you know, a hero of the left, he would be considered alt-right.

00:17:30.000 You know, he'd be a neo-Nazi according to the left today.

00:17:33.000 You know, this isn't your grandfather's Democrat Party.

00:17:36.000 This isn't the party that represents working class Americans anymore.

00:17:39.000 And you don't believe me, just look at their platform.

00:17:41.000 It literally, it spends more time focusing on helping people who are here illegally than it does actually American citizens.

00:17:47.000 Look at what's going on into some of the bills over the last couple of months for coronavirus. 1.00

00:17:52.000 I mean, Nancy Pelosi is sitting there fighting for billionaires and millionaires to get their salt deductions back.

00:17:58.000 But when my father says, hey, I want to implement a payroll tax to put dollars back into Americans' wallets, meaning your taxpayer dollars, we want to give them back to you. 0.90

00:18:07.000 She wants to give it back to billionaires.

00:18:10.000 I mean, that probably costs me six figures a year, but I want it to go to the American people.

00:18:15.000 They need it right now.

00:18:16.000 It's their money.

00:18:17.000 And that's where government gets conflated.

00:18:19.000 These radicals, it's government money.

00:18:20.000 It's government.

00:18:21.000 No, it's not.

00:18:21.000 It's taxpayer money.

00:18:23.000 And so I've seen that.

00:18:24.000 I mean, again, I grew up in a place I've always been conservative, but I grew in a place I used to be able to have a dialogue with some of these people.

00:18:30.000 And now, like, I could argue their standpoint.

00:18:33.000 I could even put myself in their shoes and credibly argue their case.

00:18:36.000 Now I do that, and it's like, you can't even have the conversation.

00:18:40.000 I can't even fathom where they're coming from.

00:18:42.000 Now, what I will say is this.

00:18:44.000 Many of them also realize how far it's gone. 0.86

00:18:46.000 And they're like, yeah, this just, it's getting ridiculous. 0.53

00:18:51.000 Yeah, and let me hit on that. 0.84

00:18:52.000 Our other episode that we're airing alongside this one is this woman, Victi Osterweil, who has a book called In Defense of Looting.

00:18:59.000 This is a real thing.

00:19:00.000 In Defense of Looting.

00:19:02.000 And this is where the Democrat Party is going.

00:19:04.000 And only liberals with liberal privilege could get away with being able to say, we're going to defend stealing private property from lower income business owners.

00:19:13.000 But Charlie, it's beyond that.

00:19:15.000 This is the first time in American history where the Democrat platform seems to be, hey, you'll get arrested for opening up your business to put food on your family's table, but you won't get arrested for looting someone else's business.

00:19:27.000 That's so true. 0.99

00:19:28.000 I mean, it's asinine. 0.92

00:19:30.000 I mean, it's literally, if you go to church, work, school, you literally get fined. 0.94

00:19:37.000 People were getting summons.

00:19:38.000 People were getting arrested.

00:19:40.000 People were losing their business licenses.

00:19:42.000 Those are three pretty simple basic tenets of just American ideals.

00:19:47.000 But looting, rioting, you know, that's acceptable because it's for political purposes.

00:19:51.000 Just like you saw, you got a social distance at the Trump White House, but if you have 50,000 people marching in protest, all of a sudden you're immune to COVID-19.

00:20:00.000 It doesn't apply.

00:20:01.000 And we had doctors on there saying that, well, it's different because this is for political purposes.

00:20:05.000 So I'm like, wait, does the virus differentiate?

00:20:07.000 Because I don't think it does.

00:20:09.000 I don't think it does.

00:20:10.000 But you've also had a whole campaign of fear manipulating around the virus, especially with what you saw from the CDC coming out where, well, only 6% of the cases were actually people that didn't have some sort of really comorbidity, pre-existing conditions that some of these people may not have made it through the rest of the year with or without COVID, but they can rack that up because they can use that fear to control you.

00:20:30.000 They can use that fear to drive their agenda.

00:20:32.000 No difference than the rioting and looting.

00:20:34.000 Like I said, they only came out against it once CNN said, oh, man, it's kind of hurting you in the polls, guys.

00:20:39.000 We got to, oh, now we're against it.

00:20:41.000 Magically, after 90 days, we're going to come out and actually say something. 0.96

00:20:45.000 I'd like to believe no one's dumb enough to buy what they're selling.

00:20:49.000 But when you have billions pushing it, when you have guys that are consuming a couple of minutes of news a day, Charlie, you know, and it's all negative, it's still hard to overcome that.

00:20:56.000 That's why we have to work that much better and more efficiently and harder to overcome the deficits that are sort of just natural to our side of the equation.

00:21:04.000 Well, I want to give the listeners a little bit of hope here.

00:21:07.000 And Don, you deserve a lot of credit.

00:21:08.000 And so does the Trump campaign for staying the course and keeping faith.

00:21:12.000 Because according even to the latest betting odds, which is a really interesting indicator, it's basically a statistical tie right now between President Trump and Joe Biden.

00:21:20.000 The latest real clear politics average in the Battleground states have almost every single state within the margin of error.

00:21:25.000 Absent just Pennsylvania with one poll, but I think we know that some of these polls can be a little bit skewed.

00:21:29.000 But even if you think these polls are skewed, it's right there.

00:21:32.000 I mean, this race is now tight.

00:21:34.000 And your book is able to address Joe Biden and bring down, in my opinion, his favorability, which is way too high even amongst moderate Republicans and moderate voters.

00:21:43.000 What is your opinion of the state of the race right now?

00:21:46.000 It's ever-changing.

00:21:47.000 And I actually think your book is going to play a role in convincing people to vote for your father and not vote for Joe Biden.

00:21:53.000 That's the idea.

00:21:54.000 Because I mean, if you're net neutral, you've not heard a single bad thing about Joe Biden.

00:21:57.000 Now, there's plenty there.

00:21:58.000 There's 50 years of it.

00:21:59.000 But, you know, again, no one's talking about it.

00:22:01.000 So the idea of this book was always to put it out there.

00:22:04.000 It's why I self-published it, right?

00:22:05.000 I didn't want anyone telling me you can't do that.

00:22:07.000 You and I both know people very close to us who've gotten that call from their publisher.

00:22:12.000 Well, we don't like that point.

00:22:13.000 You're getting a little too aggressive on it.

00:22:14.000 Now, you're not going, people aren't going out of bounds.

00:22:17.000 They're just saying this is where we are as conservatives.

00:22:20.000 This is literally our platform, but you're being threatened monetarily by publishers in there.

00:22:24.000 So I said, I want full control.

00:22:26.000 I want to make sure they can't play games.

00:22:27.000 I want to make sure they can't just say, hey, we're just not going to release it.

00:22:30.000 This is the definitive sort of dossier on Joe Biden.

00:22:34.000 This is all of the things the media should be doing but has refused to do.

00:22:38.000 These are all of the things that you have to do to understand not just his terrible voting record, but the personality, the family.

00:22:45.000 It is not the image that the mainstream media has sold you of the Bidens and everything they're doing.

00:22:50.000 And again, that's not just Hunter and the drugs and the running from child support and alimony and the cush deals that no one, no reasonable business person could possibly get from China and the Ukraine, but it's the brother and the housing contracts in Iraq that he magically never built a house in his life, but congratulations.

00:23:06.000 Now you're in charge.

00:23:08.000 It's that pay-to-play aspect of Washington, D.C. that so many people hate that the Bidens are such a big part of.

00:23:15.000 I mean, they're the ultimate swamp creature, right?

00:23:18.000 And I think with this book, when people read it, when they show it to their friends, when they use this as the basis to have an argument with their friends that are either on the fence or even on the other side to be like, but did you know?

00:23:29.000 It's going to be like me because you and I do this all the time.

00:23:32.000 And I was like, whoa, wow.

00:23:35.000 How has no one said that?

00:23:36.000 I mean, like I said, Ronnie Jackson, you know, two aneurysms.

00:23:39.000 The guy can't remember where he is half the time.

00:23:41.000 If you said you had two explosions.

00:23:43.000 So Joe Biden's had two aneurysms.

00:23:44.000 Can you dive into that really quick?

00:23:46.000 He's had two aneurysms.

00:23:47.000 He's literally had two aneurysms that could almost kill you.

00:23:49.000 If you asked a doctor, if you had one aneurysm that put him in a coma, essentially, for quite a bit of time, even one, the chances of you having, you know, not having cognitive issues later on is almost impossible.

00:24:03.000 He's had two separately.

00:24:05.000 Okay, now you combine that with the very glaring cognitive decline.

00:24:09.000 You say, well, really, I don't see it.

00:24:10.000 Watch Joe Biden give a speech today and watch him 15 years ago in the Senate and tell me it's the same person.

00:24:16.000 Now, if Donald Trump mispronounced some obscure name, it's over, right?

00:24:20.000 He's in dementia. 0.67

00:24:21.000 He's got dementia.

00:24:23.000 Joe Biden does this stuff on a daily basis.

00:24:25.000 Yes.

00:24:25.000 And it's like, you can't even question it.

00:24:27.000 You can't even talk about it.

00:24:27.000 So I literally interviewed Ronnie Jackson from the White House medical office, because people have to know these things.

00:24:34.000 You can't, I feel terrible for someone that's going through dementia, right?

00:24:38.000 That's not an easy thing.

00:24:40.000 But like, I don't feel bad enough to be like, you know what?

00:24:42.000 I'm going to give you the nuclear football.

00:24:44.000 I'm going to give you my kids' future.

00:24:47.000 You know, because I feel bad.

00:24:49.000 You can be a great grandfather.

00:24:50.000 You can be a great human.

00:24:51.000 You can do a lot of stuff with it.

00:24:52.000 But like, you're going to get the presidency of the United States because we feel bad about addressing this thing?

00:24:58.000 Stop.

00:24:58.000 If these things happen to Donald Trump, it'd be front page news every day.

00:25:02.000 No doubt.

00:25:03.000 So Don, the last question here, what else about the book should people know?

00:25:08.000 They can find it on Amazon, right?

00:25:10.000 We encourage everyone to, whatever book provider they have, I encourage everyone to go buy one or two, three copies, but most importantly, go buy a copy for liberal friends or for people in the middle, right?

00:25:20.000 And make this case.

00:25:21.000 And I say quite often, and you make the case throughout the whole book, if the left did not have double standards, they wouldn't have any standards at all, whether it be Hillary Clinton smashing devices under subpoena, whether it be Joe Biden doing billions of dollars of business, our greatest enemy, China, if Republicans did any of this or creating a terrorist mob outside of the White House going after Trump's.

00:25:39.000 How about encouraging someone to not concede an election, even if you lose?

00:25:41.000 I mean, Hillary Clinton basically did that. 0.96

00:25:43.000 So did Stacey Abrams. 1.00

00:25:44.000 I mean, she still thinks she's the governor of Georgia.

00:25:46.000 So, you know, that's the left's play, right?

00:25:48.000 It's accuse them of doing all of the things that you're actually doing.

00:25:51.000 And it's no different than Joe Biden sort of gaslighting that these are somehow Trump's riots.

00:25:55.000 Again, in Democrat cities with Democrat mayors, with Democrat policies with Joe Biden voters.

00:26:00.000 It doesn't work, but the media will try to do that.

00:26:03.000 So this is the definitive book.

00:26:04.000 I know, you know, Amazon, obviously, the usual Barnes ⁇ Noble, it'll be available there because I'm self-publishing.

00:26:09.000 I also offered it to a lot of, you know, I know a lot of guys in our world, in conservative world, are like, I don't want to give money to the Amazon Washington Post.

00:26:16.000 So I actually made it available on my website as well.

00:26:19.000 Triggered was so popular.

00:26:20.000 Everyone kept saying, hey, can I get an autographed copy?

00:26:22.000 So I even make autographed copies available on Donjunior.com.

00:26:25.000 So you can just go literally five letters, D-O-N-J-R.com, you know, and get it there for those who don't want to give Amazon the business.

00:26:31.000 But if you want to do the one-click thing, I understand that as well.

00:26:33.000 And unlike the left, I don't just cancel everything.

00:26:36.000 I let you make up your own mind.

00:26:38.000 Well, Donjunior.com is the website.

00:26:40.000 It is a phenomenal book.

00:26:41.000 And Don, I know you're traveling the country a lot on behalf of your father.

00:26:45.000 Last question.

00:26:45.000 What are you seeing?

00:26:46.000 What are you hearing as far as the race?

00:26:48.000 I'm seeing this race completely turned upside down.

00:26:50.000 I think Joe Biden is freaking out that he's actually might be losing in some of these states.

00:26:54.000 It's still a lot of time left.

00:26:55.000 You and I both know that the left probably has some time.

00:26:57.000 There's some surprises left.

00:26:58.000 There's tons of money still to be spent and to be raised.

00:27:01.000 But tell us what you're feeling and seeing.

00:27:03.000 You know, it really feels good.

00:27:04.000 And you know me.

00:27:05.000 Like, you know, I get it.

00:27:06.000 I'm the son of a billionaire from New York City.

00:27:08.000 So I'm, you know, I'm not allowed to have an opinion and I'm white privileged and all of these things.

00:27:12.000 But like, you know that I do spend a lot of time in sort of real America and the amount of sort of Trump signs I see.

00:27:18.000 And again, strongholds that were former Democrat strongholds, you know, blue-collar Democrat areas, Northeast PA where my farm is and I spend my weekends there.

00:27:25.000 I mean, it's Trump signs everywhere, upstate New York, Trump signs everywhere.

00:27:30.000 You know, it's literally probably 50 to 1.

00:27:32.000 So there's just a lot of enthusiasm.

00:27:34.000 People see a guy that's fighting for them, that doesn't need this, that isn't part of the swamp, that's sort of the anti-politician politician.

00:27:41.000 And I think they're excited about that.

00:27:42.000 They're excited to have someone finally willing to fight for them, to take it on, to not care what the press says and just keep going to battle every day.

00:27:51.000 With that, you have Donald Trump.

00:27:52.000 So this election is really breaking down to it's the swamp versus freedom.

00:27:56.000 It's Marxism versus capitalism.

00:27:58.000 It's socialism versus every ideal we have in America.

00:28:02.000 And again, as you saw from the DNC, they don't believe we have any redeeming qualities at this point.

00:28:07.000 What is their vision for America?

00:28:09.000 It seems like a very dark and gloomy place with a lot of rioting, burning, and protesting.

00:28:14.000 And destruction of America.

00:28:15.000 It's Donjunior.com.

00:28:16.000 Check out the book, Liberal Privilege.
