00:05:36.000I know, it's hard to believe there's more on this Marxist clown.
00:05:43.000And we're going to bring it to you right here on this show.
00:05:48.000Since the mainstream media refuses to do their job, since no one's going to cover it, since no one's going to even talk about these things, no matter how ridiculous it gets, It's our job to do that for you here.
00:06:02.000So make sure you guys are liking sharing subscribing do the usual because that's really important.
00:06:08.000It's how we get the message out there in a game that frankly the odds are really stacked against us.
00:06:14.000Plus my father's wrapping up a press conference at Bedminster will play some of those highlights for you.
00:06:19.000So you're going to be able to get All your news, right here, right now, in the next hour or two, and we'll have some fun.
00:06:27.000We're also going to be joined by Congressman Matt Gaetz of Florida, so I think this has all the makings of a great show.
00:06:34.000I know that's always a crowd favorite.
00:06:37.000He's got a great line of crap and, you know, is a great fighter in that movement.
00:06:42.000So, again, make sure you're liking, sharing, subscribing.
00:06:46.000It's so easy, but When you have the rest of big tech stacked against us, we have to work harder.
00:06:52.000We have to work smarter to break through all of the noise.
00:06:56.000To break through all of that and actually grow the movement.
00:07:00.000So remember folks, you can also get Triggered, this podcast, on Spotify.
00:08:15.000Honestly, you're all a part of that, along with our incredible sponsors, who I have to just thank for having the guts to support programming like this.
00:09:11.000To reach a team of licensed tax professionals that can help you reduce, settle, and resolve your tax matters, go to TNUSA.com slash Don Jr.
00:09:22.000That's TN, like tax network, TNUSA.com slash D-O-N-J-R That way they know you came from me.
00:10:52.000That was actually objective reporting.
00:10:54.000Now, that was not what you saw on CNN, where, remember, I remember watching similar buildings burning in the background.
00:11:00.000I think a reporter got hit in the head with a brick, and it was like, it was mostly peaceful protesting.
00:11:04.000You know, the building spontaneously combusted.
00:11:08.000We have no idea how they magically went up in flames, but it was mostly peaceful.
00:11:13.000It's amazing, though, hearing the news anchor still use those words, peaceful protests.
00:11:19.000There was nothing peaceful about this stuff, guys.
00:11:21.000It was orchestrated, it was set up, and it was anything but peaceful.
00:11:25.000When you burn a city to the ground, it's not peaceful.
00:11:28.000While there was some objectivity actually talking about these things being set on fire, we understand what they were trying to do to begin with.
00:11:35.000So, Here are some of the stats, just to show everyone how not peaceful it actually was.
00:11:45.000There were 1,300 buildings damaged in Minneapolis at a cost of $350 million.
00:12:07.000The buildings damaged included three post offices and 35 homes.
00:12:13.000Most people saw damage in Minneapolis and they were shocked.
00:12:16.000Kamala Harris saw the damage and wanted more to continue.
00:12:22.000The Washington Examiner had a great story today highlighting that Kamala Harris wrote a blog post explaining why she wants people to give to the Minneapolis Freedom Fund, which paid the bill for the rioters who were caught.
00:14:49.000She probably would rather us just talk about her lack of policies than to have her on-camera support for ideas inspired by AOC, who, by the way, Kamala praised vehemently not too long ago.
00:15:05.000Yes, I was just having a nice conversation with you during the break.
00:15:07.000So, I wanted to ask you, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez's new darling of the party.
00:15:11.000She officially has more Twitter followers than Nancy Pelosi.
00:15:14.000She was on 60 Minutes this weekend proudly calling herself a radical.
00:15:18.000And she's promoting policies like saying that every single carbon emission in the country, every car, should be eliminated within the next 11 years.
00:16:32.000They understand that everything she said is asinine.
00:16:36.000They understand that the American public does not want any of that.
00:16:40.000That's why she doesn't have to have policies, and the policies she does come up with she steals from my father, trying to pretend like that's real.
00:16:48.000Like she's not just going to change on day one, right?
00:16:51.000Whether it's No tax on tips, which she stole from my father, even though she was the one that cast the vote to allow the IRS to go after people's tips to make sure they were being accounted for.
00:17:01.000You know, minor details, just like Joe Biden and Kamala Harris did as it related to fracking in Pennsylvania back in 2020.
00:17:08.000Of course, we're not against fracking.
00:17:32.000His talk aligns with his policies, unlike Kamala Harris, who are the opposite of all the policies that literally the administration she is currently serving under put into effect.
00:17:44.000Not only will my father extend the Trump tax cuts, but he will end taxes on tips and Social Security.
00:17:52.000And yesterday, in North Carolina, he committed to lowering energy costs by cutting them in half.
00:18:23.000Frankly, more importantly, it will be unrecoverable.
00:18:27.000Vote Trump and your incomes will soar, your savings will grow, young people will be able to afford a home, and we will bring back the American dream bigger, better, and stronger than ever before.
00:18:57.000And the other half of the Democrats' ticket isn't any better.
00:19:01.000Frankly, he may actually be worse, which is hard to believe because it does not get much worse than Kamala Harris and Joe Biden's policies.
00:19:09.000The legacy media is finally getting around to exposing what a dishonest coward Tim Walz is.
00:19:16.000ABC has a big story today about how Tim Walz nodded along as someone claimed he served in Afghanistan.
00:19:24.000ABC wrote that Walz also repeatedly said that he retired with the rank he achieved but did not retire with.
00:19:32.000This story comes a day after Tim Walz was exposed for saying that an imam That promotes Hitler is a master teacher.
00:19:52.000And tonight, we are adding yet another scandal to our waltz of shame, so to speak.
00:20:00.000And as I said at the start of the show, we have some news to break tonight on Governor Tim Walz, Kamala Harris's VP choice.
00:20:08.000Under Tim Walz and his administration, some Minnesota elementary schools were pushed to assign material from a book called, Something Happened in Our Town.
00:21:41.000Now guys, this was all laid out in a 2020 letter from the Minnesota Police and Officers Association to Walz, which read, quote, The Minnesota Police and Peace Officers Association has recently learned several departments in your administration are counseling teachers and parents to use materials which instill fear of police officers in young children.
00:22:03.000It was reported to us that this book video was used as a book report assignment yesterday in a fourth grade class in Echo Park Elementary in Burnsville, Minnesota.
00:22:15.000The letter went on to say, quote, our members deserve better from this state than to see their profession demonized.
00:22:22.000Their families deserve better from the state than to see their loved ones who risked their lives, disparaged and unfairly cast as violent and racist.
00:22:48.000Maybe they vetted him and they liked what they found.
00:22:51.000Maybe they vetted him and thought these things.
00:22:54.000Whether it's the stolen valor, whether it's the lies, whether it's the complacency going along with that, whether it's attacking police officers, whether it's turning a blind eye to burning down entire cities in the state that he's supposed to be governor of, whether it's making sure that we had tampons in boys' bathrooms, Whether, you know, Minnesota could turn into a sanctuary state for kids to run for sex change operations without their parents' consent.
00:23:22.000You know, all those Midwestern values, I guess.
00:25:18.00086 billion in American equipment left.
00:25:21.000They're one of the greatest arms exporters in the world right now, basically selling the M4 machine guns, the tanks, the Humvees, the trucks, the this, that, and the other helicopters that we left behind for them.
00:26:37.000And finally, guys, there was just a really disturbing report about the Secret Service and the lack of coordination, professionalism, and everything in between as it relates to some of the stuff we've seen over the last couple of weeks with my father's assassination attempt and etc.
00:26:55.000It just, you know, again, forgive me if you guys don't care.
00:26:59.000I'm perhaps just a pissed off son, but it's pretty ridiculous.
00:27:05.000This on the Secret Service detail that's guarding former President Donald Trump.
00:27:11.000Real clear politics reporter Susan Crabtree reporting that a female Secret Service agent abandoned her post in North Carolina to breastfeed her baby during Trump's visit to North Carolina yesterday.
00:27:25.000The report says about five minutes before Trump's motorcade arrived, the site agent, who manages security for the entire event, did a final sweep of the location.
00:27:35.000While walking the route, the site agent reportedly found this Secret Service special agent in question, breastfeeding, with two other family members present, in a room that's supposed to be set aside for official business, like an emergency involving the president.
00:27:49.000A report says the special agent did not have permission to leave her post and gave no warning prior to the event that she needed personal time.
00:27:58.000Working Secret Service agents are prohibited from bringing children or any family members for that matter on a protective assignment.
00:28:06.000As reported, this agent and her family bypassed the Secret Service Uniformed Division checkpoint, were escorted into the room where she was breastfeeding by event staff who had not been cleared by security.
00:28:18.000Real Clear Politics contacted the Secret Service about the incident.
00:28:23.000They did not say that it had an impact on the event, but it is under review.
00:28:28.000This comes about a month after what many consider to be the biggest Secret Service failure in American history, the assassination attempt of former President Donald Trump and Butler, P.A.
00:29:23.000Or are they trying to have it happen again?
00:29:26.000Man, I have so many friends there, so many guys I love that, you know, they're true good friends.
00:29:33.000I imagine, you know, when I start calling them, I'm sure they'll all be embarrassed, but what is, what's it gonna take for them to be the elite force that they say they are?
00:30:18.000Well, folks, lastly, my father held a press conference today at Bedminster and exposed Kamala Harris as nothing more than another puppet for the destructive Democrat agenda.
00:30:30.000Allowed 20 million people, and I believe it's higher than that.
00:30:33.000People say 13, 14, 12, 10, but now they're all up to around 12, 13, 14.
00:30:39.000They have no idea because you have millions and millions of what they call gotaways, the gotaways.
00:30:44.000Got a ways of people that pour into our country. We have no idea who they are. That's the worst of all
00:30:49.000But she allowed at least 20 million people to invade our country and she wants to give them all
00:30:54.000Citizenship and free government health care and let them raid Medicare and Social Security which will again
00:31:00.000She will destroy Medicare. She will destroy Social Security All right, guys
00:31:07.000I think, you know, it'd be nice if Kamala Harris did these things, impromptu, off the cuff, rather than a teleprompter, but it doesn't matter.
00:31:13.000The media will tell us that she did, even if she doesn't, or tell us how great her policies are, even if they're not up on her website, and even if no one knows what they actually are, because they're all in on it.
00:31:22.000They are spokespeople for the regime, and the regime is in power.
00:31:26.000So what makes you think that the regime is going to change anything that the regime has been doing when the same people that are part of the regime Maintain power if they win in November.
00:31:38.000Shouldn't be too hard to answer, but, you know, again, who knows?
00:31:41.000So in a couple seconds, we're going to get to Congressman Matt Gaetz.
00:31:44.000We're going to have some fun with that.
00:31:45.000But first, guys, make sure you're protecting yourself against the Harris-Biden inflation disasters and everything else with the Birch Gold Group.
00:31:55.000Look, You guys see the market volatility, you see what's happening, and we know the Fed is just printing more and more and more money.
00:32:06.000That means your guys' costs go up and your quality of life goes down.
00:32:10.000That's inflation in a nutshell, and we're seeing it like we probably haven't in my lifetime before.
00:32:15.000So like I always say, I just want you to be prepared.
00:32:52.000And remember also guys, Make the parallel economy part of every purchase with Public Square.

00:34:05.000Oh man, it's good to talk to you, Don.
00:34:07.000I've got a primary election on Tuesday here in the Sunshine State, so I've been out there knocking the doors, waving on the side of the road, had a rally with Congressman Tim Burchett today.
00:34:18.000So looking forward to the people here in Northwest Florida allowing me to keep fighting for them, fighting for our veterans, our military mission.
00:34:25.000Well, listen, I know, obviously, so you got a primary on Tuesday, so everyone you know if you're up in that panhandle area, you know, go vote for me.
00:34:32.000I know you probably feel fairly confident because I have not gotten the call to be like, Hey, Don, come up here and help me out.
00:34:38.000I know obviously, so you got a primary on Tuesday, so everyone, you know, if you're
00:34:41.000up in that panhandle area, you know, go vote for me.
00:34:45.000I know you probably feel fairly confident because I have not gotten the call to be like,
00:34:49.000hey, Don, come up here and help me out.
00:34:53.000So I have a feeling you've probably got this, but no one has to be, everyone has to vote
00:34:57.000anyway because we got to make sure you elect the right sheriff, make sure you're electing
00:35:01.000the right dog catcher, make sure you're electing the right people across the board.
00:35:05.000By the way, speaking of which, Matt, do you have somewhere a list of the other people?
00:35:10.000Obviously, people will go to vote for you, but who else should they be voting for?
00:35:16.000Certainly in some of these primaries, there are going to be other choices.
00:35:19.000Do you have a list somewhere where people can find out what your picks would be?
00:35:21.000Because I think that'll matter in your neck of the woods.
00:35:24.000Well, certainly we want people to get out and vote for Rick Scott.
00:35:27.000He's got a nominal primary contest, but still we want him forging through to that general election with the strongest possible strength.
00:35:34.000But yeah, we've been emailing out to folks, you know, we've got a great sheriff in Okaloosa County, Eric Aden.
00:36:34.000Like you look at Michigan, we've got to win Michigan.
00:36:37.000Kamala Harris wants to ban the gas car.
00:36:40.000She has literally supported legislation to make it illegal to have a gas combustible engine.
00:36:46.000How this woman is within 10 points of us in Michigan is totally beyond me.
00:36:50.000And then you look at places, you know, like Nevada, where the high prices on housing are crushing a lot of the middle class people who live in the suburbs there, and they want to be able to afford energy, their trip to the grocery store.
00:37:03.000Kamala Harris is the most liberal candidate for president in the history of this country.
00:37:08.000And if you look at her, she's really a machine candidate.
00:37:11.000Like, you talk about getting out on the road with me.
00:37:13.000You are the most sought-after surrogate in our movement, other than your father, because there's a dynamism there.
00:37:19.000But you also see candidates emerge in different kind of ways, right?
00:37:22.000Some people have great military service and emerge.
00:37:25.000Some people earn their stripes in the state legislature.
00:37:28.000Kamala Harris is the quintessential machine candidate.
00:37:32.000She came through the California machine.
00:37:35.000And so think about the people who have promoted Kamala Harris.
00:37:39.000They've been Californians who now have the most illegals, they have the highest prices, they have the highest crime, and they're the state where people are leaving and getting out of there.
00:37:48.000So America should not make the mistake ...that Californians made in promoting Kamala Harris.
00:37:55.000As they have promoted her, her success has come at their cost, at their detriment.
00:38:01.000And certainly, just when you look at the illegals, like, you and I have been out at the border where the local guys tell us, oh yeah, if the illegals think they're anywhere near California, they'll run out of Arizona into California because they know there's no cooperation with local law enforcement.
00:38:16.000When she was Attorney General there, she set up the worst possible regime On the border and on the type of teamwork you and I know it takes in order to get these folks deterred from from crossing illegally.
00:38:26.000Yeah, so I gotta ask you, are you wearing a Florida man shirt, Matt?
00:38:58.000I mean, is there something we can do about this?
00:39:01.000Yeah, there's no question right now, actually, that the Biden-Harris Commerce Department is just crushing the individual rights of anglers to be able to fish.
00:39:10.000Just be able to do, like, the thing that the caveman was allowed to do.
00:39:16.000Now the Department of Commerce is saying regular Americans can't do.
00:39:19.000The good news is, during the Trump administration, we actually relied on the science.
00:39:23.000And we, as a fisherman yourself, I'm a fisherman, we're the ultimate conservationists.
00:39:28.000Like, we want to take our kids and grandkids out to be able to fish these fisheries, and so we're not going to overfish them, but we're also not going to have some, like, pansexual, blue-haired Woketopian who wandered through a few biology classes at Tufts, all of a sudden dictate to regular Americans that we're not able to access a resource that connects us to the environment, that draws us closer to the environment, that makes us love and appreciate the environment even more.
00:39:54.000Yeah, no, I've actually seen some of the scientists out there that didn't know the basics about being on the water, didn't know the basics of the species stuff, but they're making decisions that the anglers who are actually intimately familiar with everything that's going on, I mean, we had one that they actually broke down out there, didn't know how to actually take care of their own boat, so we had to help them and, you know, fill up the hydraulic fluid in their steering column and like, you know, basic stuff.
00:40:16.000Like, this is like, this is not, but hey, anyway, minor details.
00:40:21.000It was the fishermen who saved us on the Chevron case.
00:40:24.000Remember, while we're celebrating the great anglers of this country, the bureaucrats forever had a presumption that they were right whenever you wanted to challenge the bureaucrats.
00:40:35.000And that was the case after Republican appointees to the Supreme Court, Democrat appointees, and it was only when you got the Trump Supreme Court and some courageous fishermen who brought the case all the way, did we actually get to a jurisprudence where if you want to take on a government agency, You get a level playing field.
00:40:53.000That's an important thing, Matt, because I see that with a lot of the conservation issues.
00:40:57.000You see it a lot out west with a lot of the hunting issues, or frankly, the timber issues, where it's like, oh, you must leave dead standing timber.
00:41:04.000I'm like, you mean you must leave a matchbox waiting?
00:41:07.000You could actually harvest some of that stuff.
00:41:18.000All of those things never get fought locally, where people actually have input, where they have an understanding.
00:41:23.000It gets sent to D.C., where they can figure out how to play to the heartstrings of some judge who has no business making a decision on these things, because they couldn't possibly fathom the details that goes into it.
00:41:35.000I'm glad the fishermen stepped up and did that.
00:41:38.000Yeah, and can you only imagine the bureaucrats you would get in a Kamala Harris administration?
00:41:43.000It would be San Francisco moving to Washington, D.C.
00:41:48.000to tell the rest of us how to live our lives.
00:41:50.000Like, Joe Biden, bad guy, corrupt guy, but at least, like, Joe Biden had been around Washington, D.C.
00:41:56.000for a long time and, like, wasn't finding the type of radicals that you'll get out of Kamala Harris.
00:42:02.000Like, remember that genderless warlord from the Chas?
00:42:05.000Like, that's going to be your new head of the EPA if Kamala Harris is somehow in a position of power.
00:42:12.000You're going to have Gavin Newsom, who has people defecating on the streets in his cities and in his state, like in a major role in the cabinet.
00:42:44.000It's to get access to cheap energy that is available to us so that our businesses can grow, they can make more capital investment, and money is coming into the United States instead of going out of the United States.
00:42:55.000And we don't talk about trade enough, I think, on this campaign, Don.
00:42:58.000Like in all these speeches you and I are giving, we need to be talking about trade a lot more because If you look at the jobs created in places like Pennsylvania, Michigan, Wisconsin, because of the renegotiated deal that we have in our hemisphere with North America, the USMCA, I mean, that is changing people's lives for the better, and not just Republicans.
00:43:18.000Independence and Democrats are living better lives because of the way that happened.
00:43:22.000Now that President Trump has that as a blueprint, imagine how we can reposition the U.S.' 's interests in Asia, throughout Latin America.
00:43:30.000The opportunities are actually going to be in our country rather than the middle class being hollowed out in America and the Middle Kingdom being built up in China.
00:44:01.000But Matt, I'd love to get your reaction.
00:44:03.000I don't know if you saw my father's press conference, but You know, the compare and contrast between the Trump-Vance campaign and the Harris-Walz campaign right now, because they could not be more different, even though, you know, the Democrats are obviously getting corroboration like I've never seen before from the media, from tech, who are allowing them to essentially do nothing.
00:44:26.000Yeah, let's unpack the media's cat bath, the never-ending cat bath of Kamala Harris.
00:44:33.000My theory on that is they were just so happy to get any lifeboat away from the sinking ship that was Joe Biden.
00:44:39.000Like, if you're on a sinking ship and a lifeboat appears, you're willing to get on it no matter what.
00:44:45.000And I think that we're missing a lot of the barnacles that are there.
00:44:48.000Kamala Harris is not some fresh face in American politics.
00:44:52.000She's not some new and energetic character.
00:44:53.000This is a woman who wanted to give amnesty to illegals who wanted to give free health care to
00:45:17.000You and I both know that border is going to get flung wide open if she has the opportunity to lead this country, and the results will be catastrophic.
00:45:24.000And when you look at the focus of President Trump's press conference today, what was it about?
00:45:30.000It was about the things that people have to deal with every day, whether you're going to be able to have a steak for a barbecue, whether or not you're going to be able to get some snacks for your kids.
00:45:39.000We're speaking, I think, to that egalitarian, universal, and unifying message.
00:45:44.000Come join our movement and things will cost less, our border will be secure, and there won't be war everywhere.
00:45:51.000You've been a real advocate defining the Trump foreign policy, and I think oftentimes It gets confused as isolationism.
00:45:59.000We don't believe in isolationism is all.
00:46:00.000We need, we want America to have great friends around the world and we want to nurture those relationships by being the best version of ourselves.
00:46:09.000Not by being dead money at the poker table, not by being the world's piggy bank or the world's police force, but by being a shining example.
00:46:17.000You know what our State Department does now?
00:46:19.000They go pressure countries to like see what they're doing during Pride Month rather than aligning interests that could make our country richer.
00:46:26.000When Donald Trump was president, even the dictators were on their best behavior.
00:46:30.000The dictators knew that Trump was unpredictable and said they better not mess around.
00:46:36.000Whereas with Joe Biden, it was all paint by numbers.
00:46:39.000They knew exactly what he was going to do and they manipulated him.
00:46:41.000And with Kamala Harris, I just don't think there's any credibility whatsoever.
00:46:45.000Keep in mind, Don, she goes to Ukraine Four days before the invasion to try to deter Putin, and they laughed at her.
00:47:18.000Yeah, and I think that when you look at the world we're inheriting, it's an incredibly dangerous one.
00:47:23.000I think back to when Obama sat down with your father and said, the number one problem in the world today is what's going on with North Korea.
00:47:31.000And then your dad had this terrific fire and ice thing with Kim Jong-un, where one minute he's saying my red button's bigger than yours, the other saying that You know, we can have a great productive relationship so long as you don't do these things that are destabilizing.
00:47:45.000And he kind of kept him in a box with that fire and ice strategy.
00:47:49.000Now you've got the invasion doctrine of Biden-Harris.
00:49:58.000It wasn't like she was sent off to go attend weddings and funerals during the Biden presidency.
00:50:03.000She was quite literally the tie-breaking vote on the bill that created the high prices.
00:50:09.000We have the high prices and the high interest rates and the high foreclosure rates and the low home ownership rates and the high default rates on credit cards right now principally for one reason.
00:50:28.000So I think that's a way to draw them in to a debate about the policy choices that she is so lashed to.
00:50:35.000You have also seen recently, though, the mainstream media reporting that she is trying to do anything she can to distance herself from the Biden record, to turn the page, to kind of shuffle him off to the side.
00:50:46.000But look, He wasn't running the White House, okay?
00:50:49.000We all know he wasn't running the show.
00:50:51.000And so she's either a person who's an ineffective leader, or, you know, she was purposefully leading the country down this path of border invasion, high prices, war everywhere.
00:51:04.000So Matt, I agree with you fully, but I got to ask you, what's going on in Congress lately?
00:51:10.000Are we ever going to get to the bottom of what's going on with the Secret Service?
00:51:53.000And you know I had a great relationship with my guys.
00:51:56.000Like, I'm lifelong friends with guys when I had a detail.
00:51:59.000It's like, like, I want to call them and be like, really?
00:52:01.000And they'll come back and they're just, you know, send me like, they're like, you know, downtrodden emoji.
00:52:08.000I think it's part of this bigger problem we have in every agency in Washington now, where we've gotten away from meritocracy at the top.
00:52:15.000Look, there are still countless patriotic Americans who are volunteering for the Secret Service, the CIA, the military, the FBI, and they are good people, and God bless and thank goodness we still have patriotic people who love our country who want to see the good in some of these entities.
00:52:30.000The issue is in the incentive structure for promotion.
00:52:34.000You see, the Obamas put a regime in place where the way people moved up was embracing the DEI agenda, embracing the wokeism, not taking the type of action that really puts government on the side of the people, but instead that which concentrates power.
00:52:49.000And we would want to think that the Secret Service, right, the toughest guys, people you and I look up to and admire as heroes when they're on Your Detail and around all of our activities, They're not the problem.
00:53:00.000It's that the wrong people, I think, in a lot of cases have been promoted.
00:53:05.000And that's where kind of the resistance movement during the Trump presidency stalled some of our momentum and success, because they would embed these people deep into these agencies that stop the good folks from moving up, and I think move the bad folks around.
00:53:19.000And I think the second time around, we'll have a lot more kryptonite for that system that hurt the country.
00:53:25.000I agree, but I also think those bad guys that got promoted up are also making sure to not hire the guys that would be good guys.
00:53:31.000They're not just not getting promotions, they're making sure, you know, the military, like, you know, if you want to be an admiral, just, you know, be trans, it's fine.
00:53:37.000Well, you know, sure, you could be an admiral, anyone could be an admiral, like, why not?
00:53:44.000There are some great patriots, some of the, you know, the door kickers are great guys, and they talk to me about this stuff all the time, they're embarrassed.
00:53:51.000But there comes a point in time where they're not even letting those guys in the door, let alone promotions at this point, because the bureaucracy has been so corrupted by these lunatics that it's a bigger problem than just not getting promotions.
00:54:04.000And I think in the military, they are trying to convert what was the last great bastion of conservatives, patriotic thought, into a group of social justice warriors.
00:54:16.000And you can't do that with a highly focused and inspired patriotic force.
00:54:22.000So what they're doing is they're trying to deter those people from signing up with things
00:54:26.000like teaching socialism at the National Defense University, teaching critical race theory,
00:54:30.000reducing the amount of training in some areas while increasing things like pronoun training.
00:55:20.000Is that just a... I don't see it, and I live here, but what do you think?
00:55:26.000Is that just an idea to pull our money from Pennsylvania to win a state we're going to win by 10 points?
00:55:32.000Yeah, no, the Democrats should definitely believe Florida's in play, and they should spend a lot of money here.
00:55:38.000I remember in the 2020 cycle when Michael Bloomberg spent $100 million just himself in the state of Florida, and we increased our vote lead from 2016 and 2020.
00:56:58.000I went to Game 5 of the Stanley Cup Finals, and, you know, that's obviously Miami-Dade, historically very Democrat, and, you know, I went around—I've never seen—my kids were with me.
00:57:09.000They were like, wow, we've been everywhere with you.
00:57:55.000It's that I don't take the lobbyist money and the PAC money.
00:57:58.000I am the only Republican in Congress who refuses all donations from lobbyists and political action committees.
00:58:05.000And there are days when just that alone makes me feel like a neo in the matrix, because I am able to immediately put the needs of my constituents first.
00:59:32.000And then finally, I think that for the same reason you don't let the umpire bet on the game, you should not let members of Congress trade individual stocks.
00:59:39.000These are things that have 80% plus approval everywhere in the country except the 202 area code in Washington, D.C., and it gets me a lot of really angry stares there.
00:59:51.000Yeah, it's sort of like why like, well, term limits may be really popular.
00:59:54.000They're never they're never going to be popular in DC because they're never going to vote themselves out of the power and the money that comes with it.
01:00:21.000We institute the Trump border policies that were done without Congress, by the way.
01:00:25.000Keep in mind, everything Trump did on the border, he did while Paul Ryan and Mitch McConnell were serving the corporate interests that wanted an open border, that wanted cheap labor.
01:00:34.000So he did things like the remain in Mexico policy, safe third country, title 42 with public health authorities, certainly with all these Americans dying, being poisoned by fentanyl, a title 42 application at the border would be incredibly helpful.
01:00:48.000That day one, I would say day two, energy, because a lot of these energy projects we want to get going to drive down prices.
01:00:55.000You've got to allow for the capital investment to occur.
01:01:00.000So that we get low prices early in the Trump presidency, I think you've got to unlock some of the opportunities that, frankly, Joe Biden has been standing in the way of.
01:01:30.000I know I've seen some of that in some of the other places where there's literally like radical Democrats running as Republicans because, you know, there's been historically You know, it's just sort of crazy.
01:01:40.000I'm seeing some of that in Palm Beach County, which is always Democrat, but has sort of flipped a lot in terms of people's mentality.
01:01:46.000And so there's people that are radical Democrats running as Republicans trying to sort of grandstand and get in there.
01:01:52.000Yeah, that wouldn't work here in the Florida Panhandle.
01:01:54.000We've all heard of Democrats, but we've never actually seen one in the wild.
01:02:14.000I do need my constituents to get out and vote in droves on Tuesday for me, August 20th.
01:02:18.000And actually, right now, Don, we're in early voting.
01:02:21.000So in Escambia, Santa Rosa, Okaloosa, and Walton counties, folks can go out on Friday, they can go out on Saturday, cast that ballot.
01:02:29.000And really, we've got to start building that muscle memory to get those votes in early.
01:02:33.000That's why I'm telling folks to vote early.
01:02:36.000Because whether it's Pennsylvania or Wisconsin, these could be very close elections, and getting our votes in the bank will allow us to be a more resilient force.
01:02:45.000Let us never forget the mistake in Arizona, where our good friend, and hopefully the next senator, Kerry Lake, asked voters to wait till Election Day, and then lo and behold, on Election Day, machines broke, and volunteers didn't show up, and long lines, and so we want to be the most resilient force possible, and I'm hoping To put that on display in my primary in this election.
01:03:06.000Well, I wish you a lot of luck there, Matt.
01:03:09.000Thank you so much for joining us here tonight.
01:05:19.000She understands some of those issues, but um, you know, I don't know that she's Involved in any real way, you know, yeah, I guess okay So people are asking about conway as it relates to the sort of I guess, you know the ukrainian money and you know Yeah, so it just again Hey, I don't want to, you know, knock friends and people I like, but like, you know, there's certain things you can't do when, you know, this is one of the biggest issues of our time.
01:05:43.000We can't have stuff in there looking like it's, you know, quid pro quo or clearly a setup or doing these kinds of things.
01:05:50.000So no real update, no, no involvement that I'm aware of.
01:05:53.000I'm fairly involved, you know, you know, maybe, you know, casual conversations or, you know, you know, on certain things.
01:06:00.000And, you know, someone I think is really good on TV and does a good job with that, but Uh, I think that's the extent of it, too, to my knowledge.
01:06:08.000Uh, right now, and that probably makes sense, given, again, given the Ukraine stuff.
01:06:12.000We can't negotiate peace if someone's sort of, you know, on that payroll and is part of the conversation.
01:06:18.000That probably makes it pretty hard, but, um, you know, that's just me.
01:06:23.000Your dad should do all of his answers in the next conference as Kamala, since she won't do it.
01:07:45.000It's not like he's just a bad person on the second part of the ticket that may or may not ever come to fruition like she's arguably worse or just as bad or just as crazy with her policy.
01:08:17.000And apparently, like, my fight or flight response is, like, off the charts right now, because I guess I basically feel like I'm basically always in a fight.
01:08:26.000So I'm sure that's not awesome or healthy, I think.
01:08:28.000You know, come November 6th, you know, or maybe January 20th.
01:08:35.000You know, certainly if we win, you know, figure out how to take some time and do that.
01:08:40.000But I'm actually still pretty good about, you know, getting out there, trying to go fishing, get out there, try to go shooting, try to do stuff on the weekend.
01:08:48.000It's a, uh, you know, so I am pretty good about that.
01:08:53.000So I work from home and my studio's at home.
01:08:55.000Uh, so, you know, I can do some of those things, but yeah, no, it's, it's not the easiest thing in the world.
01:09:00.000And no, I, I definitely, uh, I'm definitely more amped up these days than I have been the last couple of months have been sort of brutal and just, just so much stuff going on, honestly, you know, whether it's, you know, business stuff that's going on and some of that's great, but it, it takes up time and, you Just life and, you know, campaign.
01:09:18.000So, uh, I will get a chance to relax in three to six months.
01:09:23.000Uh, and I'll make sure to do that because, uh, yeah, otherwise I'll probably have a heart attack.
01:09:30.000Don Jr., I get so much mail asking for money, but I'm not sure if it's all from you and your father.
01:09:34.000I mean, if the stuff is official RNC stuff, I probably gave him, you know, sort of, let's call it the, you know, the ability to use my name.
01:09:40.000I know people always ask me, like, hey, Don, did you just text me for money?
01:09:43.000I'm like, dude, you have my cell phone number.
01:09:45.000Like, you realize, like, that's, it's campaign stuff.
01:09:47.000It is, you know, they do send it, I guess.
01:10:41.000But like I literally get a hunger text like that from people I know, like actual text like, you know, can you send me the physical mailing address?
01:10:49.000I'm like, Like, I gotta go find the fit for the, you know, $7.
01:10:55.000Like, it's... But every dollar counts, so I usually do it.
01:11:00.000Sometimes I'm not in the mood, I just... I'll get it the seventh time they ask me.
01:12:33.000That's, you know, long range is sort of my preferred.
01:12:34.000I spend a lot of time with carbines and handguns and stuff like that just because I think that stuff's really important for just, you know, self-defense and You know, they're shooting at my dad.
01:12:43.000So, uh, as the guy that was the number two most threatened person in the Secret Service when I had a detail, uh, after my father, uh, you know, makes sense to be prepared, makes sense to practice.
01:12:53.000Uh, but like my passion is long range precision.
01:13:44.000Chris LaCivita, really Susie Wiles, is running the campaign.
01:13:48.000Chris LaCivita is sort of running the RNC side of that.
01:13:52.000But you know, Susie Wells has been our go to, you know, Corey, you know, was there earlier.
01:13:56.000They want to think he's coming back as sort of a informal advisor.
01:13:59.000I spoke to the entire team today that I don't even know if it's even a defined role.
01:14:03.000But now, you know, according to them and according to, you know, direct conversations with my father, he's not coming back and and, you know, being the guy in charge.
01:14:12.000And, you know, I'm sure people in D. C. And, you know, they love to run that around and they'll leak that.
01:14:16.000And, you know, Plenty of people may be close to him or whatever, you know, otherwise are leaking that as well to try to, you know, put themselves in proximity to power.
01:14:34.000Listen, I think, honestly, I think Chris is a good operator in these things.
01:14:37.000I know there's a lot of commentary in here that is negative, you know, towards him.
01:14:43.000You know, but I think he does a good job at the role that he's doing.
01:14:46.000I spend time talking to him and everything like that.
01:14:48.000So, you know, I know there's some people that have issues with that and people who do the, you know, fire Suzy and fire Elisaveta, fire, you know, fire everyone.
01:14:55.000Usually people that either don't know or they're listening to like the you know the the grifters that are out there you know they they they were a rhino and they were part of someone else's campaign and now they don't have a way to make money from the campaign so they're trying to get in and they're motherfucking everyone else behind their back so that it seems like they're the ones that are doing the right thing and it's all bullshit folks it's all a big lie so um
01:15:22.000La Civita apparently posted anti-Trump stuff in the past.
01:15:30.000Then I have a list of all of those people, and then I see people who come around and who admit they were wrong, and I understand that the policies worked, and I can understand a lot of people who were skeptical in 2016 of Trump coming in and doing this.
01:15:44.000Like I told you, I almost got in a fight with a senator on the floor of the RNC in 2016, like an actual fistfight.
01:15:50.000That guy happens to be one of my good friends now.
01:15:56.000But yeah, the grifters are out there and they'll bring up the thing that someone said in 2014 about this and negate the last five years or eight years or ten years or whatever it may be.
01:16:07.000Uh you know and and just say that's what we're we're sticking with that because it suits them uh or because they make money you know from peddling the influence or creating the chaos but those people honestly if you're creating chaos right now and on our side trying to play that game like Imagine trying to switch out a team with 80 days left like it's not even possible like just the the ramp up time and the efficiency like even if it's not it say what you want even if it's not an ideal team to to switch and start from scratch right now people who haven't been involved in years or ever or like
01:16:48.000You got to understand his moods, his proclivities, whatever it may be.
01:16:52.000It's not the easiest thing in the world.
01:16:53.000So the people who are talking that usually don't know what they're talking about, I think it's actually probably the best run machine of the three campaigns that we've run in terms of some of those details.
01:17:05.000It's never going to be when you have the media working against you, when you have big tech working against you.
01:17:09.000You know, I like to call out the grifters when I can, and just, you know, make sure that people understand that because, uh, it's, uh, it's important.
01:17:19.000Uh, love that you meet with us, Don Jr.
01:17:25.000Uh, yeah, get yourself involved, sign up, you know, volunteer local RNC offices, especially if you know people who are lawyers, the technical guys, like poll watchers, that's important, but you need someone who's also tough and will, you know, stand up.
01:17:35.000The other side's vicious with this stuff, you know.
01:17:37.000They'll call you every name in the book there to your face.
01:20:26.000If we can starve woke corporations with your hard-earned dollars and actually put them towards patriotic companies that share your values, we can do so much together.
01:20:36.000So again, download the public square app today.
