00:09:25.000 So we've been talking about making America healthy.
00:09:28.000 Again, it's been a big theme of the campaign, a big part of the last year.
00:09:32.000 But did you know that 45% of the coffee that you drink could be loaded with mold toxins?
00:09:37.000 And even after roasting, those toxins can still be there.
00:09:41.000 That's where 1775 coffee kicks in, folks.

00:10:13.000 Code triggered.
00:10:15.000 I think you'll love it.
00:10:17.000 So, guys, I thought I'd take a look back at 2024 as the end of the year approaches rapidly.
00:10:25.000 Also, the end of another circle around the sun for me.
00:10:30.000 My birthday is New Year's Eve, so I get to turn 47, so I'm getting old as dirt.
00:10:35.000 But there's an old saying that there are decades where nothing happens and weeks where a decade happens.
00:10:42.000 That pretty much sums up this last year.
00:10:46.000 Ultimately, it was a year of triumph.
00:10:48.000 It didn't come easy.
00:10:50.000 The nonsense, the indictments, the lawfare, multiple attempted assassinations, media corruption, big tech shenanigans.
00:11:00.000 And everything else that we all saw still could not stop MAGA. They could not stop you.
00:11:06.000 And that's the difference.
00:11:08.000 With 2024 versus 2016, you guys got involved.
00:11:12.000 You guys got engaged.
00:11:13.000 You saw in 2020, if one guy was out there by himself, they could channel all of their energy, all of their forces, and actually take out what is, at least on paper, the most powerful man in the world.
00:11:26.000 That's not happening anymore because you guys are in the game.
00:11:29.000 They threw everything they could at us and they failed miserably.
00:11:33.000 Not only was the left-wing agenda rejected at the ballot box, but it became more obvious than ever and more broadly than ever that liberals are losing.
00:11:45.000 The ideas are a disaster.
00:11:47.000 They're bad.
00:11:48.000 They're absolutely nuts.
00:11:50.000 Now, Previously, before, say, Elon took over X, and before we started calling out the news, they had trillions of dollars boosting them.
00:12:01.000 Big tech, mainstream media, some of that is still there, obviously, in the mainstream media.
00:12:07.000 But wokeness is out of fashion, guys.
00:12:10.000 Common sense came back into play, okay?
00:12:13.000 Remember, who cares if you can't afford your groceries?
00:12:16.000 Three-year-olds need to be able to get jigger-affirming care.
00:12:19.000 They've lost their minds and everyone now sees it.
00:12:22.000 Companies are no longer using a transgender wheelchair person for every single commercial.
00:12:28.000 NFL players are now able to say that they are Trump fans.
00:12:31.000 You can see that with the Trump dancers in the end zone.
00:12:34.000 It's a different world and it's a massive, massive cultural shift.
00:12:39.000 We're seeing companies like American Airlines and their DEI programs.
00:12:43.000 We're seeing MSDNC ratings at record lows.
00:12:48.000 And we're seeing the Democrat Party and the brand in complete and utter shambles.
00:12:55.000 Just think of the 180 that's happening.
00:12:58.000 Going into 2025, we're in control of our own destiny for the first time in far too long.
00:13:05.000 Just think back to even six months ago.
00:13:08.000 You remember when they told us that it was misinformation that Joe Biden is senile?
00:13:13.000 They said we were using cheap fakes and deep fakes.
00:13:17.000 If you don't remember, here's a long-winded reminder from Nicole Wallace.
00:13:24.000 There's a growing and insidious trend in right-wing media, broadcast, print and social media.
00:13:29.000 It is to take highly misleading and selectively edited videos of President Biden directly from Republican National Committee social media accounts and then use those videos.
00:13:41.000 To spread messages virally to cast doubt on President Biden's fitness for office.
00:13:47.000 Here is this headline from the New York Post, quote, Biden appears to freeze up, has to be led offstage by Obama at Megabucks LA fundraiser.
00:13:55.000 The full video posted by Biden finance chair on Twitter shows something entirely different.
00:14:01.000 Biden reacting to applause and then walking offstage with former President Obama.
00:14:06.000 It comes less than one week after the New York Post made a cover out of another piece of deceptively edited tape, calling him meanderer in chief due to what they claim was Biden walking away during a skydiving demonstration during the G7 summit last week.
00:14:21.000 The only problem is that the full video, which emerged almost instantly, shows Biden was going over to congratulate one of the skydivers who's cropped out of the video entirely.
00:14:31.000 Both the articles are based on cheap fakes, videos of real events that are intentionally manipulated to fool viewers released on an RNC opposition research social media account with zero independent fact checking by these so-called journalists and spread throughout the right-wing ecosystem.
00:14:48.000 That was just one of the many lies that they lied and said that the border is secure.
00:14:54.000 And not only is the border secure, but that illegal immigrant crime is a myth.
00:15:00.000 Even though every single week there was some new horror story of an illegal immigrant raping or killing an innocent American.
00:15:08.000 Those illegals are all getting deported, by the way, on day one.
00:15:15.000 Starts right away.
00:15:16.000 Check out this clip from a great friend of the show, Tom Holman.
00:15:20.000 I don't have a number.
00:15:21.000 We want to arrest as many people as we can.
00:15:23.000 They're in the country illegally.
00:15:24.000 Again, based on prioritization.
00:15:26.000 We want to arrest every criminal, every gang member that's here illegally, that's a public safety threat.
00:15:30.000 We want to arrest every fugitive, those who had due process at great taxpayer expense, and have an order of deportation but didn't leave and became a fugitive.
00:15:37.000 We got over 1.5 million of those.
00:15:39.000 And look, we've got millions of people who are illegally.
00:15:42.000 If you're here illegally, you're not off the table.
00:15:45.000 I mean, it's a violation of law.
00:15:47.000 It's a crime to enter this country illegally.
00:15:49.000 But you don't have a number that you'd like to see one year from tonight, you don't have a number that you'd like to say, this many people have been deported on my watch.
00:16:03.000 No, I don't have a number.
00:16:04.000 I want to arrest as many people as we can with the resources we have.
00:16:07.000 We want to be the most efficient we can based on prioritization.
00:16:10.000 There's no limit.
00:16:11.000 Guys, and now we're learning that the evil lunatic who set a woman on fire on the New York subway was an illegal immigrant.
00:16:19.000 I'm shocked!
00:16:21.000 I'm shocked!
00:16:22.000 Another one.
00:16:23.000 That wasn't the headline.
00:16:25.000 If you look at my Twitter feed, if you look at my X feed, Truth feed, like, women magically spontaneously combust on New York subway.
00:16:34.000 They don't talk about it.
00:16:35.000 But we're finding out it's an illegal immigrant who entered the country illegally under Joe Biden and Kamala Harris's watch.
00:16:44.000 We're not tolerating these sick, heinous acts of evil anymore.
00:16:50.000 Mass deportations are coming.
00:16:52.000 The media isn't going to get away with downplaying this kind of violence ever again.
00:16:58.000 And last week, guys, my father made this as clear as day, as clear as ever, when he brought up the mother of an illegal immigrant crime victim on stage.
00:17:09.000 And she brought the audience to absolute tears.
00:17:13.000 Check this out.
00:17:17.000 She's going to get them done in January.
00:17:20.000 Thank you.
00:17:25.000 Thank you.
00:17:28.000 The first time I met President Trump in person, he invited us to lunch, my attorney and I. And to be honest, I didn't do anything.
00:17:38.000 I just sat there.
00:17:39.000 I didn't really speak because I wanted to watch the man and listen to what he had to say and what his conversation was like.
00:17:49.000 Because I knew he wasn't a politician, but I knew that he had been president before.
00:17:54.000 And I wanted to see if he was a real, authentic man who actually cared for the American people.
00:18:03.000 And so I watched him.
00:18:06.000 I watched how he interacted.
00:18:08.000 I also watched how much his staff really respected him and how much his staff loved working for him.
00:18:16.000 But the thing that changed the way that I looked at him as a person was I realized that he was a dad, that he was a grandfather, and when you spoke to him you could see in his eyes that he genuinely cared about his fellow human being.
00:18:37.000 But the thing The thing I appreciate the most is that he heard the cries of a mother.
00:18:52.000 And he cared.
00:18:54.000 And he made a promise that he was going to protect us and that he was going to help us.
00:19:09.000 That's all you can ask from your president, but also just from a fellow human being.
00:19:15.000 And so I personally, I am so honored to know this man and to think of you as a friend. - This stuff has been happening far too often.
00:19:32.000 So many stories just swept under the rug, buried away.
00:19:36.000 This is a pandemic in and of itself, and it has to stop.
00:19:42.000 Remember guys, the media even tried to lie about a shooting that we all saw on video.
00:19:48.000 They quite literally told us not to believe our own lying eyes.
00:19:53.000 Joy Reid is still on Comcast, MSNBC, suggesting the shooting was fake.
00:20:02.000 Check it out.
00:20:04.000 It never ends, guys.
00:20:16.000 When will they fire her?
00:20:18.000 How does she keep getting paid?
00:20:20.000 I mean, I get that she's doing the bidding of the propaganda masters and the big media oligarchs, but like...
00:20:27.000 How does it continue?
00:20:28.000 How does anyone watch this knowing it?
00:20:30.000 I mean, she's not that entertaining.
00:20:33.000 Anyway, hopefully they fire her soon.
00:20:36.000 I heard they may be asking her for a pay cut to go commensurate with the ratings drop, but I don't think it's quite enough.
00:20:42.000 And finally, the big lie was that Joe Biden is a smart and a good person.
00:20:48.000 They always told us this, guys.
00:20:51.000 That Scranton Joe was just trying his best to improve the country.
00:20:55.000 Okay, but why didn't he, I don't know, then just take 37 brutal killers and rapists off of death row?
00:21:07.000 Why would you commute those sentences?
00:21:09.000 Why would you pardon people like that?
00:21:12.000 Biden didn't even talk to the victims of these criminals before he made this decision.
00:21:18.000 Thought he was a good guy.
00:21:19.000 Huh.
00:21:21.000 Tens of thousands of pardons and commutations.
00:21:24.000 Terrible people.
00:21:26.000 Not like stuff that's on the fence, just abject disaster.
00:21:32.000 One of the people he took off death row was Brandon Council.
00:21:36.000 Brandon killed two bank tellers in cold blood.
00:21:40.000 One of his victims was Donna Major.
00:21:43.000 Here is her family talking about Biden's pre-Christmas commutation.
00:21:49.000 Check this out.
00:21:50.000 I reached out requesting an in-person meeting in D.C. and we were refused.
00:21:57.000 They denied our right to have our voices heard.
00:22:00.000 We're victims.
00:22:02.000 My mother was murdered at the hands of Brandon Hansel.
00:22:06.000 They should have heard our story and all we got was a 10-minute virtual conference and clearly that fell on deaf ears.
00:22:15.000 They did not want to hear our story.
00:22:18.000 Danny, Joe Biden or whoever made this decision, because it is entirely unclear whether this came from him directly or his people.
00:22:26.000 He's showing mercy to your wife's killer.
00:22:29.000 Was your wife shown any mercy?
00:22:32.000 She was shown no mercy at all.
00:22:34.000 This man walked into the bank, never said two words to her, shot her three times in total, went and shot her co-worker Katie Skeen as well, who was totally defenseless and unaware that anything was happening.
00:22:49.000 What kind of sick person is Joe Biden to make families grieve like this over Christmas?
00:22:56.000 Here's some of the other people he took off death row.
00:22:59.000 Thomas Sanders, who kidnapped and shot a 12-year-old girl four times days after the girl watched Sanders murder her mother.
00:23:11.000 Huh?
00:23:12.000 Seems like a big one.
00:23:13.000 Seems like a big deal.
00:23:14.000 Wouldn't seem like someone you just release or commute their sentence.
00:23:18.000 He also commuted Jorge Alvia Torres, who raped and stabbed to death two young girls.
00:23:25.000 I could go on and on, folks.
00:23:27.000 These are not cases where, hey, maybe there's some malicious prosecution or the lawfare that the Democrats have been doing to us or what they've tried to frame the January 6th victims for.
00:23:37.000 And these are cold-blooded murderers and rapists.
00:23:41.000 They went back and killed other people that witnessed their crimes.
00:23:45.000 I mean, think about this.
00:23:45.000 These are some of the worst people alive.
00:23:49.000 And they were sentenced to death for a reason.
00:23:52.000 This is a disgrace.
00:23:55.000 And meanwhile, we're still seeing sick reactions from the left on the man charged with killing United Healthcare CEO Brian Thompson.
00:24:04.000 The left is cheering him on, literally.
00:24:08.000 Watch as the crowd applause just at the mention of his name on Saturday Night Live.
00:24:15.000 Luigi Mangione dropped...
00:24:17.000 Yeah!
00:24:21.000 Yeah, definitely woo.
00:24:24.000 You're wooing for justice, right?
00:24:27.000 Guys, this is a societal problem.
00:24:32.000 My father the other day called the liberal praise of a killer a sickness.
00:24:36.000 We actually spoke about it quite at length last night at Christmas dinner.
00:24:42.000 This is a cultural ailment.
00:24:45.000 We've lost our way in so many ways that shapes or form.
00:24:49.000 You don't have to love what's going on in healthcare.
00:24:51.000 You don't have to love the policies of insurance companies.
00:24:54.000 I know I don't.
00:24:56.000 We've all known someone or ourselves who have been hit by these things.
00:25:00.000 But to cheer cold-blooded murder in the streets of New York?
00:25:06.000 To make that murderer into a hero?
00:25:09.000 I don't know, guys.
00:25:10.000 Seems like a serious, serious lapse of reason, judgment, and probably not someone we want to turn into a deity.
00:25:19.000 But we have a tendency of doing that with people who are not so good, as we all probably remember from 2020. My father, when he calls it a sickness, he's right.
00:25:29.000 It's not just random SNL crowd members applauding either.
00:25:33.000 Even Elizabeth Warren is trying to justify it.
00:25:37.000 You know, Pocahontas, a senator from Massachusetts, even she is trying to justify it.
00:25:43.000 If we don't like the person, it's okay.
00:25:43.000 You know what?
00:25:45.000 I guess it's the same logic The same reason, if you could ever call it any of that, that they used when they were 100% okay with someone trying to kill my father, your favorite president.
00:25:57.000 What happens when you turn this into the billionaires run it all is they get the opportunity to squeeze every last penny.
00:26:06.000 And look, we'll say it over and over.
00:26:08.000 Violence is never the answer.
00:26:10.000 This guy gets a trial who's allegedly killed the CEO of UnitedHealth.
00:26:15.000 But you can only push people so far.
00:26:18.000 And then they start to take matters into their own hands.
00:26:23.000 What is going on?
00:26:24.000 The hell?
00:26:25.000 I mean, this stuff is not only sick, but it's dumb.
00:26:29.000 Luigi Mangione was not pushed too far by UnitedHealthcare.
00:26:34.000 He wasn't even insured by UnitedHealthcare.
00:26:37.000 These people are cheering on a killing that accomplished nothing but leaving a widow and kids without a father.
00:26:47.000 In general, over the holidays, however you want to look at it.
00:26:51.000 That's not normal.
00:26:52.000 That's not okay.
00:26:54.000 The good news is, under my father's administration, we are going to restore law and order and get this country back on the right track.
00:27:03.000 How about we bring back some values?
00:27:06.000 How about we bring back some decency?
00:27:08.000 Maybe a little bit of God, because I think we all need some of that right now.
00:27:12.000 We can do that!
00:27:14.000 That could perhaps be one of the most important things we could do for our country, for the future, for our children, for the next generation, for this civilization to be able to exist much longer.
00:27:26.000 than I guess the left would like.
00:27:28.000 And if you need any more evidence, guys, that the FBI needs Akash Patel at the helm as FBI Director, then look no further than this IG report.
00:27:39.000 In an Inspector General report that former agent Steve Friend just tweeted out, as he said, Steve wrote, an FBI assistant special agent in charge sexually harassed two employees.
00:27:53.000 He discriminated against a disabled job applicant.
00:27:56.000 He lied to federal investigators.
00:27:59.000 Naturally, the IG report results in early retirement and zero prosecutions.
00:28:05.000 Think about that.
00:28:06.000 All of those things.
00:28:09.000 Yes, well, it's just fine.
00:28:10.000 You can retire a little bit early.
00:28:11.000 There's no actual consequence.
00:28:13.000 There's no actual accountability, and that's the problem, guys.
00:28:17.000 We've become a society where, unless you're a MAGA, there's never going to be accountability for anything.
00:28:22.000 If you are MAGA, they'll lure you in general for no reason whatsoever.
00:28:27.000 Even John Fetterman, John Fetterman, a Democrat, senator from Pennsylvania, understands that the media has been lying about Kash Patel.
00:28:37.000 Check this out.
00:28:38.000 You met with Kash Patel, I believe, right?
00:28:41.000 Yesterday, well, yes.
00:28:43.000 He's talked about going after Trump's enemies.
00:28:46.000 Yeah, and we've had conversations, but all of these interviews were all off the record and those things.
00:28:58.000 So I'm not going to go into detail, but he absolutely is that that's never going to happen.
00:29:07.000 He was very forceful.
00:29:09.000 He's not going to use the FBI to go after Trump's enemies.
00:29:12.000 No, that's not it.
00:29:14.000 Did you believe him?
00:29:15.000 I mean, he's written a lot.
00:29:17.000 That's what he claims.
00:29:19.000 And I found out his family's origin story and immigration, and we talked about that, and my wife, my family, immigration and things.
00:29:29.000 And so I learned things about him.
00:29:31.000 I never knew that he was a public defender.
00:29:33.000 As I said at the Turning Point AmFest conference last week in Arizona, for far too long, too many Americans were afraid to speak the truth about their government and the media, but that time is now over.
00:29:47.000 Check this out.
00:29:48.000 In the last 48 hours, when they tried jamming a 1,500-page CR down your throats with more pork than a pig farm, and in a few minutes, Almost everyone knew what was in it.
00:30:04.000 Far more than Congress, you were able to pick out the parts were disastrous, you were able to pick out the fraud, the bribes, the bullshit, and you were able to talk about it.
00:30:17.000 And it died like that.
00:30:19.000 We need to keep that up.
00:30:22.000 For far too long, for far too long, people have been made to be afraid.
00:30:31.000 Of their media, of their governments, of their representatives.
00:30:35.000 That time is over.
00:30:38.000 This election was a mandate against that insanity.
00:30:42.000 We won resoundingly because Americans want common sense back.
00:30:48.000 And it has not been common at all for far too long.
00:30:55.000 And as I've also been saying, the swamp needs some ETP. That's what I call education through pain.
00:31:04.000 They can't lie to us anymore.
00:31:06.000 If we all stay involved and we call out those ignoring the will of the people, we can absolutely move mountains, folks.
00:31:14.000 You saw what the swamp was trying to do to some of my father's appointments.
00:31:18.000 We went after that.
00:31:19.000 We called out the lies.
00:31:21.000 We called out the use of anonymous sources instead of the 30 people who are willing to put their face and name on a piece of paper saying these things are lies.
00:31:30.000 If we stay vigilant, if we stay active, if we have the resolve that my father would like to show, All Americans, we can stop the absurdities from happening once and for all.
00:31:43.000 And my father is making it clear, guys.
00:31:45.000 Business as usual is over.
00:31:47.000 And we're putting America first.
00:31:50.000 I can proudly proclaim that the golden age of America is upon us.
00:31:57.000 On January 20th, the United States will turn the page forever on four long, horrible years of failure.
00:32:07.000 Our movement not only won a mandate, but we built new American majorities all over the place.
00:32:13.000 We'll define our country's future.
00:32:15.000 The people have given us their trust, and in return, we're going to give them the best day one, the biggest first week, and the most extraordinary first 100 days of any president in American history.
00:32:29.000 Since the election, the stock market has broken one record after another.
00:32:34.000 The biggest gain of stock market after an election in history.
00:32:38.000 In a single month, small business optimism soared 41 points, which is a record.
00:32:45.000 Bitcoin has surged to an all-time record high of $108,000.
00:32:50.000 We're going to stop woke.
00:32:52.000 Woke.
00:32:53.000 Woke is bullshit.
00:32:55.000 And I will sign executive orders to end child sexual mutilation.
00:33:00.000 And we will keep men out of women's sports.
00:33:04.000 But something happened also in the election.
00:33:07.000 All 50 states shifted toward the Republican Party.
00:33:10.000 Every single one of them.
00:33:11.000 They're calling it the Trump Effect because even before taking office, we're already bringing in the jobs and opportunity and safety and common sense back...
00:33:21.000 To the USA. We're bringing common sense back.
00:33:24.000 We're going to embark on the most exciting and successful period of reform and renewal in all of American history.
00:33:31.000 My administration will live by the motto.
00:33:34.000 Promises made, promises kept.
00:33:37.000 We did keep our promises.
00:33:38.000 We're going to cut your taxes, end inflation, slash your prices, raise your wages, and bring thousands of factories roaring back to America and right back here to Arizona.
00:33:50.000 Coming soon to America.
00:33:52.000 Now.
00:33:53.000 Before we go, I'm also going to be taking some of your questions that have been coming up here on Rumble and on X. So this is just sort of a general one.
00:34:03.000 I'm not sure it's the day after Christmas.
00:34:05.000 Maybe people are watching tonight.
00:34:07.000 Maybe it's a big night.
00:34:08.000 Maybe it's not.
00:34:09.000 Didn't want to bother a guest over the holidays.
00:34:11.000 Hopefully they're enjoying it with their families.
00:34:13.000 But I wanted to make sure I addressed a lot of the things that have been popping up in my Truth Feed, X Feed, whatever...
00:34:21.000 It's popping up that we can fill up that rest of the show and hopefully get you guys the answers to all of the things you're trying to learn about.
00:34:29.000 But first, I want to thank another one of our great sponsors, the Birch Gold Group.
00:34:34.000 Prepare for the future and diversify your savings, guys.
00:34:37.000 Look, with my father back in office, you're going to have more money in your paycheck, and that means you'll have more opportunities to plan for the years and decades ahead.
00:34:47.000 One way you can do that is by diversifying your portfolio into gold.
00:34:51.000 For over 20 years, Birch Gold Group has helped thousands of Americans protect their savings by converting an IRA or 401k into an IRA in physical gold.
00:35:01.000 To learn more, text D-O-N-J-R. Text my name.
00:35:05.000 Just type in, you know, 989898. Okay, that's who you're texting it to.
00:35:08.000 Put in D-O-N-J-R. And claim your free, no obligation info kit on gold.
00:35:14.000 Educate yourself.
00:35:15.000 That's all we ask.
00:35:16.000 Doesn't cost you anything.
00:35:17.000 Check it out.
00:35:18.000 So text Don Jr. to the number 989898 and check it out.
00:35:24.000 So with that folks, talking a lot.
00:35:26.000 Take a little sip of the drink and then we're going to get to your questions.
00:35:34.000 What are my thoughts on how the CR, the Continuum Resolution Spending Bill, played out?
00:35:34.000 All right.
00:35:39.000 I think your father is right about the debt ceiling.
00:35:42.000 Yeah, a lot of stuff in there, right?
00:35:45.000 That first bill, when people, they get a 1,500-page document.
00:35:50.000 They're asked to read it, understand it, and vote on it, like, in 48 hours.
00:35:55.000 That's absolute insanity.
00:35:57.000 We had to call that out.
00:35:58.000 I think the real problem with not doing something is also, though, you gave Chuck Schumer all this leverage, right?
00:36:05.000 If he has the debt ceiling stuff to hold over our heads in the coming month, like, that was everything.
00:36:09.000 That was a problem the Republicans gave us, sort of inherited.
00:36:12.000 From eight, nine months ago, whenever that was.
00:36:15.000 So, cutting down the bill, cutting down all of that pork.
00:36:19.000 You saw me, Iglan, Vivek, my father, say this is nonsense.
00:36:24.000 It was just full of pork, right?
00:36:26.000 Why does someone need a vote to keep the government on?
00:36:28.000 But, you know, we need a billion dollars here to study some crap that no one cares about.
00:36:32.000 We need pay raises for members of Congress.
00:36:35.000 How about they get a pay raise once they balance the budget?
00:36:39.000 It's a continuing resolution.
00:36:40.000 It gets you to that next level.
00:36:42.000 It doesn't fund people's salaries in perpetuity.
00:36:46.000 I love that it was cut down.
00:36:48.000 I love that they cut it from 1,500 pages to 150 pages.
00:36:52.000 They took 90% of the crap out of there.
00:36:54.000 I mean, it's sort of hard to believe, right?
00:36:56.000 But that's how bad it is.
00:36:57.000 That's how government is functioning.
00:36:59.000 So I love that there were people that called this stuff out.
00:37:02.000 And then the next one, hey, it's not ideal, but it made sense.
00:37:05.000 But we also got to be careful to not give Chuck Schumer that ammunition that he can use to hold over the Republicans, to hold over my father.
00:37:11.000 And the Democrats will do that, right?
00:37:12.000 The media will gladly tell them it's all the Republicans' fault.
00:37:15.000 This isn't something that happened months ago and whatever it may be.
00:37:18.000 They're doing that on a daily basis.
00:37:19.000 You see also how they're trying to Now, it's Elon's presidency, or Vice President Elon, or President Elon.
00:37:28.000 They're trying to literally create a schism there, saying that, trying to, I guess, you know, play to my father's ego, that he's really worried about this.
00:37:36.000 Like, no, Elon's been a great part of the team.
00:37:39.000 He's doing an incredible job.
00:37:40.000 He's going to expose so much.
00:37:42.000 But you see it.
00:37:43.000 It's like childish, like, kindergarten-type games, because that's basically all the media at this point has left.
00:37:49.000 So, watching all of that play out is pretty absurd.
00:37:53.000 Anyway, what are the latest updates with the transition?
00:37:58.000 Are you confident we'll be ready to go on day one?
00:38:01.000 We have an incredible team.
00:38:03.000 What I've always said, I think you've probably heard me on the show say it before, is that this time around, it's so much better.
00:38:10.000 It's so much better because we know who the good guys are on day one.
00:38:14.000 It doesn't mean everything's going to be perfect, right?
00:38:15.000 You're putting in 4,000 employees.
00:38:19.000 That's sort of what they call the plum book.
00:38:20.000 It's the presidential appointees and you're going through all of that stuff.
00:38:23.000 But honestly, had we won in 2020, you just take the same people from 16 to 20 and rolled them into 20 to 24. And by the way, we won, just so we're clear.
00:38:32.000 But had we assumed the presidency, I don't think anyone looking after this election day, I wonder where those Where'd those 8 million votes go?
00:38:39.000 It's hard to believe.
00:38:39.000 It's shocking.
00:38:40.000 It's like they disappeared out of thin air.
00:38:43.000 So I don't think anyone actually buys that anymore.
00:38:45.000 So that's nice.
00:38:46.000 But had we just rolled over that administration, we'd be out of office in 30 days and you would have had a team of people that sort of been kicking the can down the road.
00:38:56.000 People who were not elected thinking that they knew better than the duly elected president of the United States.
00:39:00.000 So now we have a chance to really put in a team that understands they work for the president.
00:39:06.000 They understand they are good to do and follow through on what he wants.
00:39:11.000 They understand that that's what the American people want.
00:39:14.000 And we know who the real players are.
00:39:16.000 And so I am...
00:39:18.000 I'm super excited about not just this cabinet, but in reality, so much happens at the next levels, whether it's the deputies or the people working under those things.
00:39:30.000 We have a great team of people that are involved.
00:39:32.000 Obviously, I've been involved on a daily basis.
00:39:34.000 Guys that I've known since the beginning of my political journey are in those rooms.
00:39:40.000 Each and every day, you know, vetting people, getting, you know, figuring out what's going on.
00:39:48.000 Sometimes, you know, again, I've seen this once or twice where if someone gets in and you look at the system, it's like, what happened?
00:39:53.000 And it's like, well, the person who got the top job said they love this XYZ person.
00:39:57.000 So you're like, okay, fine.
00:39:58.000 Obviously you can bring your guys and then we do a little bit more vetting and you're like, ah, that's not ideal.
00:40:02.000 So, you know, taking care of a lot of that kind of So, you know, honestly, I think we have a chance at a transformational cabinet.
00:40:12.000 Something that will be absolutely incredible.
00:40:16.000 So, I'm super excited about it.
00:40:19.000 I've been really psyched about the process.
00:40:21.000 I've been really psyched about the people who are now also You know, coming out of the woodwork saying they want to serve, they want to be involved.
00:40:28.000 Stuff that would not have happened, you know, in six teams that you're stuck with more of a bureaucrat than anything.
00:40:33.000 So I'm really excited about the process and I think it's going to be, it's an opportunity like what we've never seen before, perhaps like we may never see again.
00:40:43.000 You know, so I'm excited about it.
00:40:45.000 It's going to be great.
00:40:47.000 It seems like the Democrats are now the ones with the branding problem.
00:40:51.000 Republicans are even winning over young voters.
00:40:53.000 How can we keep that momentum?
00:40:56.000 Simple.
00:40:56.000 All right.
00:40:57.000 Stick to your guns.
00:41:00.000 You're right.
00:41:00.000 And we're watching it play out.
00:41:02.000 The people in the media...
00:41:03.000 It was interesting, right?
00:41:04.000 I've seen this play out for so long now.
00:41:06.000 It's maybe a long-winded answer, but...
00:41:09.000 You know, there's so many things that became, like, tenets of the Democrat philosophy that just doesn't really align with the American people.
00:41:15.000 I saw this earlier in the Daily Wire, kind of...
00:41:17.000 Mary Margaret Olihan, I guess, gave me sort of credit for it.
00:41:20.000 It's like, they were talking about the trans women in sports thing.
00:41:23.000 And she went back and did some research.
00:41:25.000 She was like, fine, done.
00:41:25.000 You were talking about this in, like, 2017. Like, before it became a thing.
00:41:30.000 And I knew it was a strong point because...
00:41:33.000 That was like Twitter 1.0, 90% leftist, whatever it may be.
00:41:37.000 And I'm tweeting these things about how it's insane that men are playing in women's sports.
00:41:41.000 And even there, you'd read the comments and people are like, oh, Don, I hate you so much, but you're right about this.
00:41:46.000 So the mouth boxes in D.C. and in L.A. and New York, they ran with these things that weren't actually popular.
00:41:55.000 With the American public.
00:41:57.000 And so the Democrats continue to do this.
00:41:59.000 You know, they can't believe that Kamala Harris got like it.
00:42:02.000 Well, what did she do to deserve to get elected?
00:42:04.000 What lengths did she go?
00:42:06.000 She coasted through these things.
00:42:08.000 She spent three times the amount our campaign spent.
00:42:11.000 Lost every swing state imaginable.
00:42:13.000 Refused to go on all these great, you know, podcasts that have hundreds of times the viewership of so many of the mainstream sources that they went to.
00:42:25.000 You know, I said it earlier, I think, on the show.
00:42:27.000 It's like, who cares if you can't afford groceries, guys?
00:42:30.000 Three-year-olds need gender-affirming care without parental consent.
00:42:34.000 I mean, this is a party that's lost their minds.
00:42:36.000 And because they've never had to face accountability until recently, you know, there was no way to get that message out.
00:42:42.000 In 2020, if I called out stuff on the VAX, if I called out stuff on what they were pushing, if I called out stuff on the censorship, if I called out stuff on the lawfare, it just went into the ether.
00:42:51.000 No one ever saw it.
00:42:53.000 Now, with a level playing field on, you know, in social media, not entirely, but where we have a chance, where we have, you know, on truth social, you have a chance, obviously, on X, you know, people are like, oh, wait, that's actually really going on, right?
00:43:07.000 It was like, you know, a year later, when the Hunter Biden laptop was verified, 17% of the country were like, oh, wow, I would have never voted for Joe Biden had I known that was real.
00:43:16.000 Well, it was covered in the New York Post.
00:43:17.000 That's like the second oldest newspaper in the United States.
00:43:21.000 So the news was out there.
00:43:23.000 Just no one saw it.
00:43:25.000 The truth could actually emerge if you knew where to look, if you had the guts to get to page 5,000 of Google, but it never actually showed up early.
00:43:35.000 And so now that's different.
00:43:37.000 And so the truth was the Democrats were never, I guess they were good at marketing, but they were good at marketing because they had all these sort of artificial boosters.
00:43:46.000 Now that people understand what their platform really is, now that they understand that they're willing to lie to you about literally everything, everything they've been telling us for the last nine years, especially the last four years, has just been one big lie after the other.
00:44:00.000 Now that people know, I don't know how you recover from that.
00:44:04.000 If they keep pushing the nonsense that they're pushing, it should be irrecoverable.
00:44:09.000 Now, they are good at adapting.
00:44:11.000 They're good at raising money.
00:44:13.000 They'll spend 5x what we'll do on an average congressional race.
00:44:15.000 So, you know, we have to stay vigilant, but stay on it.
00:44:19.000 There's much less consequence.
00:44:21.000 To being vocal on our side than there was a few years ago.
00:44:27.000 It's not as penal.
00:44:28.000 Now, like you said in the question, we're winning 50% of that youth vote 18 to 29. I never even thought that was possible.
00:44:36.000 We were able to do that so quickly.
00:44:37.000 So we have to stay on the gas.
00:44:39.000 We have to make sure that people understand that.
00:44:42.000 You just don't ever give up an inch.
00:44:45.000 Stay in it.
00:44:47.000 Let's see, next one.
00:44:48.000 Don, is there any role in the White House for a meme general like yourself?
00:44:53.000 I mean, I think...
00:44:55.000 Frankly, meme general is going to be much more effective than a lot of the generals we have in there right now.
00:45:02.000 Again, more concerned about gender-affirming care and other nonsense woke policies.
00:45:08.000 No, not for me, but I imagine they will continue to play the game.
00:45:11.000 A picture says a thousand words.
00:45:13.000 I put that in my bio years ago, and the left went berserk.
00:45:17.000 It was like, oh my god, it's stolen violence, because they have no sense of humor.
00:45:22.000 But the reality is, I think there is.
00:45:24.000 I mean, the social media team there is going to be great.
00:45:27.000 I think they're going to continue to play in sort of an unconventional for the White House kind of way because that's what resonates.
00:45:33.000 That's what actually works, right?
00:45:35.000 You know, the sort of, you know, the boomer mentality of we're going to do things the same way they've always been done.
00:45:40.000 It's lost its effect on it.
00:45:41.000 I think it's why we're able to do so well with, you know, some of that youth vote is we're talking to them the way they talk.
00:45:46.000 We're communicating with them and, you know, You know, in the way that they communicate.
00:45:52.000 And I think it was able to be, you know, incredibly effective.
00:45:55.000 So, you know, I imagine we'll continue some of that.
00:45:57.000 You know, it's probably not a full-time job, but maybe I'll get an occasional repost.
00:46:03.000 But no, I'm looking forward to what the social media team does and, you know, really adapting to the times, not just doing things the way of old Washington.
00:46:11.000 Let's see.
00:46:12.000 There's been some back and forth on X recently about the role big tech should or shouldn't have in the new administration.
00:46:18.000 For example, Jeff Bezos and Mark Zuckerberg recently met with your father.
00:46:22.000 Do you know what those meetings were about and what should we expect?
00:46:27.000 Well, you know, the meetings were, you know, obviously, you know, in general, people come and they want to talk.
00:46:34.000 They understand what's happening for the next four years.
00:46:35.000 They understand the guy that's in power.
00:46:37.000 You know, I know Elon was there, so I'm sure he'd have some interesting opinions on it.
00:46:41.000 I'm not going to, you know, I'm not going to over speculate.
00:46:43.000 You know, hopefully.
00:46:45.000 Hopefully, people who had sort of been leading the charge on the left understand maybe that's not where the country is.
00:46:49.000 Maybe they realize some of that could have been misguided.
00:46:53.000 Maybe they adapt and change their policies or their algorithms, you know, whatever that may be.
00:46:59.000 I think, you know, that would be fundamentally critical.
00:47:02.000 For what we're trying to do in the country.
00:47:04.000 So, you know, tech's going to be a big part of it.
00:47:07.000 You saw, you know, David Sachs, great guy, you know, the sort of AI crypto czar.
00:47:10.000 So I think it's going to be the first administration that really tackles not just, you know, tech in terms of, you know, the internet or social media, but like tech in terms of where we're going with AI, where we're going with crypto, where we're going, you know, in these new horizons.
00:47:27.000 You know, they've been around for a little while, but I think there's so much There to unpackage.
00:47:33.000 So much to discover.
00:47:34.000 I think it's just going to be a great opportunity to set the stage right for all of those kinds of things.
00:47:39.000 So I'm super excited about that one as well.
00:47:44.000 And, you know, I think it'll be transformational.
00:47:49.000 Yeah, should be a good one.
00:47:50.000 I look forward to doing that again.
00:47:52.000 We'll do another Q&A where I'll take some of the other stuff a little bit more live in the next couple weeks.
00:47:57.000 Again, I just wanted to make sure I got something out there for the show.
