00:06:48.000Looking forward to today's episode because I'll be taking your questions based and back on popular demand.
00:06:54.000You guys like the AMA format so I figured I'll add a bit more of those in there and try to do you know one a week or one every other week just to make sure uh I think it's probably even easier for my team because we don't have to wrangle other people around.
00:07:10.000I think you'll love it. Get your questions ready.
00:07:13.000Hold off on the questions for about a minute until I can get through some of the news of the day.
00:07:18.000Maybe we'll even just talk about some of those issues and I'll take your questions during that.
00:07:23.000Yeah, someone said The Nuge, Freethinker 26.
00:07:26.000Yeah, my intro song is Stranglehold by Ted Nugent, one of the best sort of guitar riffs of all time.
00:07:33.000As far as I'm concerned, I figured Ted's the one guy that's not going to sue me for using his music since he played that music for me live many times.
00:07:43.000You know, opening up for, like, literally political rallies.
00:07:45.000Like, it was, you know, it was my thing.
00:07:51.000And I did a couple events with Ted, and unbeknownst to me, he heard that I was using it, and so he literally was playing it live on his guitar as I came out.
00:07:59.000I was like, man, that was about as cool as it gets.
00:08:03.000So before I get to that, folks, you know the drill.
00:08:06.000Hit the like button. Make sure that other people can kind of see this, that they know about it.

00:08:17.000So if you do have questions or you have friends that have questions, let them know.
00:08:25.000Honestly, we have a lot that we're up against.
00:08:27.000We've got to combat big tech, the mainstream media.
00:08:30.000That people still get their news, frankly, from the mainstream media is...
00:08:34.000Somewhat mind-boggling to me, given sort of the lies.
00:08:37.000I mean, your average conspiracy theorist is batting about a thousand relative to the mainstream media batting about zero, but it doesn't matter.
00:08:44.000They still have an effect. They move the needle, and that's their intention.
00:08:49.000They're not journalists. They're propagandists.
00:08:51.000And so this is there to fight against that.
00:08:54.000So... Let's do a rundown of some of the top stories today.
00:09:01.000In breaking news this evening, former Trump trade advisor and friend of the show Peter Navarro was found guilty of contempt of Congress for not complying with a subpoena from the sham January 6th committee.
00:09:14.000I think Peter was most recently on the show a couple of weeks ago.
00:09:17.000He was... You know, along with my father, the architect of our America First anti-China policy.
00:09:25.000He's the guy that did a lot of the groundwork behind the trade things that my father and his administration were able to implement so we could stop China from taking advantage of us.
00:09:41.000I'm shocked, folks, that a jury of his peers who hate his guts, who would love to see all of us in the gulags, found him guilty.
00:09:51.000But, you know, shouldn't surprise any of us at this point.
00:09:54.000And Peter was standing on principle to not play along with the Democrats, the D.C. Rhinos, the deep state dirty tricksters on their sham investigation.
00:10:07.000You can learn more about the case and contribute to Peter's fight against the left's lawfare at defendpeter.com.
00:10:14.000This is what it's going to come down to, folks.
00:10:21.000We're going to have to push back against this insanity.
00:10:24.000If you think they can only do it to Trump or only do it to Trump's advisers, you haven't been watching.
00:10:30.000You saw, you know, Pardon the Proud Boys, Michael Swade.
00:10:34.000I agree. We've got to get in a position of power to be able to do that.
00:10:38.000Now, again, we're not condoning violence or people who were punching cops.
00:11:21.000And they got billions and billions to be able to back it.
00:11:24.000They've weaponized the DOJ, the FBI, so they already have our government using your taxpayer dollars and weaponized against you.
00:11:32.000And like I said last week, that's why I'm donating all the proceeds from the mugshot merch that I did.
00:11:37.000For the Legal Defense Fund, you saw that last week at ShopDonJr.com.
00:11:42.000We raised nearly $250,000 in profits, okay?
00:11:47.000Not revenue. We did better than that in revenue, but about $250,000.
00:11:52.000I'm going to contribute to the Legal Defense Funds.
00:11:55.000We were talking about a couple of the individuals that I want to help out with that.
00:11:59.000I just got to make sure—the real problem, I got to just make sure they're legit and not someone doing a fake— I've seen too much of that, unfortunately, in the fundraising world as well.
00:12:10.000Obviously, I'll be sending a bunch to my fathers as well, just because I know the people involved there, so I know it's real.
00:12:17.000I want to help out. I don't want to be stuck doing legal due diligence, trying to figure it out, even to help some people that I may not know, but that definitely are getting screwed in all of this process.
00:12:29.000So that's in large part to all of you guys who saw that.
00:12:34.000You know, I didn't want to profiteer from that.
00:12:36.000I just wanted to say, hey, I'll do this for a while on my page.
00:12:40.000Take those things and, you know, quarter of a million dollars profit that I can just, you know, stroke that check to those funds is awesome.
00:12:49.000So I want to thank you guys for all of that.
00:12:51.000And, again, all of this is just another example of the Democrats wanting to jail their political opponents, instead of dealing with actual crimes and actual crises, right?
00:13:04.000We talked about the border, but this clearly brings us to one of the big stories, where New York City voters are getting exactly What they voted for.
00:13:14.000Now, this is a place I called home for like 40 years of my life, even though I escaped on the weekends to do my outdoor stuff.
00:13:19.000It was home, and they're getting what they wanted, right?
00:13:25.000Maybe, and just maybe, they're changing their minds, but I have a feeling that maybe a lot of the residents of New York, including Mayor Adams himself, doesn't love open borders and doesn't want to be a sanctuary city anymore.
00:13:43.000Now, Democrats have long been proud of being sanctuary cities because they can just say, hey, Texas, Arizona, you can deal with that burden.
00:13:51.000We'll just preach from our little perches here, thousands of miles away, where the issue isn't really there.
00:13:58.000We talk about it, but we're not going to welcome them into our homes or into our backyards, just like...
00:14:05.000The brilliant minds of Hollywood, California, you know, they aren't doing it either.
00:14:10.000They talk about it a lot, but, you know, they didn't exactly welcome these people into their homes.
00:14:16.000Just look at how excited Philadelphia's Democrat mayor was in 2018 about his city's status as a sanctuary city.
00:14:44.000Just like the great, brilliant liberals of Europe are thrilled to welcome migrants, and, you know, while their rape cases may have gone up thousands of percent, it clearly wasn't because of the only change in their policies, right?
00:15:05.000That didn't bother Democrats for years.
00:15:09.000They were proud of their cities that refused to work with federal immigration officers.
00:15:14.000Here's Eric Adams, New York City's mayor, during his mayoral campaign, saying that New York and New York City needs to remain a sanctuary city.
00:15:29.000which limits cooperation with federal immigration authorities.
00:16:49.000Now we're getting people from all over the globe have made their minds up that they're going to come through the southern part of the border and come into New York City.
00:16:58.000And everyone is saying it's New York City's problem.
00:17:03.000Every community in this city is going to be impacted.
00:17:06.000We have a $12 billion deficit that we're going to have to cut.
00:17:12.000Every service in this city is going to be impacted.
00:17:21.000Huh? From supporting sanctuary cities to saying that New York City is going to be destroyed by the current wave of illegal immigrants, that's quite a change.
00:17:31.000I mean, if I said something like that, people would be screaming that I'm somehow racist.
00:17:43.000A recent poll found that a majority of New York City residents say that the flow of migrants into the city needs to stop.
00:17:50.000As Adam said in the clip I just played, it's costing the city money.
00:17:55.000Millions. They've already spent 35 million housing migrants in two hotels.
00:18:03.000Think about that. We can't take care of our vets.
00:18:06.000We can't take care of Americans, indeed.
00:18:09.000But migrants are being housed in hotels in New York City on your taxpayer dime.
00:18:16.000But the problems aren't just monetary.
00:18:19.000At the Roosevelt Hotel in Midtown, 41 illegals have been arrested since May.
00:18:26.000And I imagine, folks, that's not for breaking our immigration laws.
00:18:31.000The issue for Eric Adams in New York City is that basically the only person that can solve their problem right now is Joe Biden.
00:18:39.000And Joe Biden, many of you know him as Brandon, has shown no interest in securing the border and deporting illegal immigrants because the Democrats want that.
00:19:05.000The first thing Joe Biden did when he got into office was sign an executive order stopping deportations and halting construction of the border wall.
00:19:17.000Literally selling off the components that were stacked right there that could secure our border, that could stop the scourge of fentanyl, that could stop the human trafficking and the child sex trafficking going on there.
00:19:28.000No, no, no. Rather than actually do something about it, they sell it off for pennies on the dollar.
00:19:34.000Since Biden has entered office, roughly seven million illegal immigrants have crossed the southern border.
00:19:44.000That's a big percentage of our country, folks.
00:19:49.000Fortunately, and maybe it'll finally get through, though I don't know that Biden's capable of thought beyond, you know, mouth breathing at this point.
00:19:58.000Biden's in a rough spot headed into 2024 election.
00:20:02.000Just look at this clip from CNN. I keep posting clips from CNN because even they've had enough and they're insane and a huge part of the problem.
00:20:12.000Check this out. CNN reads the country's mood right now and finds that America is deeply unhappy with Joe Biden.
00:20:22.000Most Democratic voters hope for a change at the top of the ticket, and Americans don't take the president and his word when he talks about his son, Hunter.
00:20:31.000Sinceri just said, so funny that my hand gestures are just like my father's.
00:20:35.000I got a funny story for that before I talk about CNN. When I first started doing the show, my father, I guess he was watching.
00:21:17.000Now, maybe it won't matter, because maybe the Democrats will figure out another way to manipulate an election, to change the rules, to not abide by the state constitutions in which they reside, since the electioneering's done on a state level.
00:21:28.000And they'll have the media and big tech censoring anyone that calls it out or talks about the insanity or whatever it may be.
00:21:35.000I don't know to what end other than the destruction of our country, but it doesn't seem like they care.
00:21:40.000They'll stay... Behind their fences, behind their walls, making millions while the rest of America suffers.
00:21:48.000CNN found that my father is beating Joe Biden in a general election matchup.
00:21:53.000In the past few weeks, poll after poll shows Trump beating Biden.
00:21:58.000The Wall Street Journal, Echelon Insights, Emerson, and the New York Post have all released polls showing Biden losing.
00:22:07.000And by the way, Biden doesn't lose to every Republican.
00:22:12.000This is a point that those running in this never-ending and ungodly expensive primary do not want you to know, because many of them, like Ron DeSanctimonious, or Ron DeStablishment, as many have called him, base their entire campaigns on electability.
00:22:31.000Strangely enough, those guys aren't actually winning.
00:23:14.000But again, once you've got to know, Ron, not as likable as you thought.
00:23:20.000As we all know, folks, this primary is over, but we're going to spend millions and millions so that consultants and others in the swamp can get rich and so that we don't have the money to combat the lawfare that we all know is coming and whatever other games the Democrats are going to play.
00:23:36.000Since Biden is in such bad shape right now, his Justice Department has to work overtime to help him and use the lawfare to attack political opponents.
00:23:46.000But get this. Just yesterday, the DOJ announced in a court filing that it will indict Hunter Biden with gun charges by the end of the month.
00:23:56.000Hunter Biden illegally lied on a federal form that he was not a drug addict when he bought a gun in 2018.
00:24:02.000A standard that they would use against any one of you, especially me.
00:24:42.000Looks like they may just bring this gun charge and not pursue any money laundering, tax evasion, unregistered foreign lobbying charges, etc., etc.
00:24:54.000They'll do the little thing, give them the slap on the wrist to lie to you and have their lackeys in the mainstream media and big tech pretend that Like, there's actually not two systems of justice in America right now.
00:25:10.000The DOJ is Biden's criminal defense firm and nothing more.
00:25:15.000And the last story before we get to the Q&A, AMA, surrounds a company called Liberty Safe, who's facing massive customer backlash.
00:25:33.000And over at Field Ethos, my gun-hunting sort of lifestyle magazine, you guys can read a great new article on these safes and how they're not safe at all, apparently.
00:25:47.000Recently, Liberty Safe handed over the access code to a safe belonging to a 34-year-old Arkansas resident that was arrested by the FBI on January 6th protest charges.
00:26:00.000It turns out your Liberty Safe isn't really your safe.
00:26:04.000Liberty Safe has a policy of giving backdoor access to your safe to the federal government whenever the government asks.
00:26:11.000Rather than saying, no, we're doing, sure, just here you go.
00:26:17.000I mean, think about who your customer base is.
00:26:19.000Think of who our government institutions have been weaponized against.
00:27:01.000So, I think Liberty Safe may learn the hard way what happens when you abandon your customers.
00:27:07.000I mean, for example, I think Apple Computer put up a much greater fight When our law enforcement, federal law enforcement, wanted to get information and crack a phone of a terrorist.
00:27:26.000Just so we're clear, Apple Computer went out of their way to help protect an actual terrorist.
00:27:36.000They went more out of their way than Liberty Safety.
00:27:41.000Went about yet another person being persecuted by this sham January 6th bullshit.
00:27:46.000I mean, think about that. So go check out that article at fieldethos.com.
00:27:51.000I may put a link down at the bottom of this with the URL so you can see it.
00:27:57.000Again, Field Ethos is my outdoor brand.
00:27:59.000I mean, even the outdoors got sort of so woke that we actually had to start writing real stories because even those guys were too afraid to actually...
00:28:08.000Too afraid, right? Too many big corporate sponsors.
00:28:11.000They couldn't do anything that was edgy or any of this.
00:29:19.000It takes guts to support a show like this, but we understand we want to keep you protected.
00:29:25.000We understand what's happening in the world.
00:29:27.000We want you to be able to secure and stabilize your portfolio, protect against the inflation that we see going rampant, the overall lunacy, just bad decisions.

00:31:26.000Derf Man MTL says, hey Don, any opinions on the possibility of Kamala Harris ever being moved to the president's seat?
00:31:33.000Can you see it happening? Dude, I can totally see that happening.
00:31:39.000I mean, I don't think they could see that happening in an actual election.
00:31:41.000I think people understand how terrible she is.
00:31:44.000I mean, seemed like a great, like, checks a lot of boxes candidates until you actually hear her say.
00:34:04.000You know, and I've known people at some of these places, and they, you know, I've gotten in trouble for being like, hey, listen, the people aren't there.
00:34:43.000Those guys get fucked, basically, by...
00:34:48.000The woke decision makers in corporate America at the top because, you know, they want to be loved or they don't want the media to attack them for just put up the road.
00:34:56.000Like, what do you say? No, figure out a different way.
00:34:58.000I'm sure there's a way that the feds can get into the safe, folks.
00:35:00.000Like, but, you know, we just roll over and die.
00:35:35.000I haven't seen them in a while. They're not coming to America, and I can't blame them.
00:35:40.000They'll figure out another way to charge them for something that they probably didn't do, and you've seen the insanity.
00:35:45.000But, you know, met up with those guys a while ago, been following for a long time.
00:35:48.000We've gone back and forth a bunch, but absolute insanity what's going on with them.
00:35:53.000But, yeah, I have a feeling like, you know, even the Republicans who try to say anything, you know, my father gets cleared of these, you remember that, like, what I thought was an absolute insane woman, you know, even Anderson Cooper on CNN. No, she was out there saying, like, rape is sexy and these sorts of things.
00:36:10.000But she wins a case against my father, though he's found not guilty of, you know...
00:36:17.000Raping, apparently, some woman in a very public place 30 years later.
00:36:22.000No, but he loses a defamation case because you can't say someone who accuses you of something and you're found not guilty of them being crazy for the thing.
00:37:36.000You'd heard the rumor. But I was like, you see the mannerisms.
00:37:38.000You throw the ball out at, like, you know, the baseball game.
00:37:41.000You're like... Really, like, I know we're not allowed to stereotype or generalize, and if I was on YouTube, I'd get thrown off of this, like, in two seconds.
00:37:49.000Luckily, we're on Rumble, where you can say these things.
00:38:13.000Why isn't he out there being like, I'm the first gay president?
00:38:16.000Given all the identity politics that they're running with, or maybe they have to save that for someone else, So they can check a couple more boxes and run with it.
00:38:25.000Maybe that's the... But, you know, this whole thing is just...
00:38:29.000It's so ridiculous. And what's worse is that these guys were out there in 08 and 12 and just covered up.
00:38:38.000Democrat put them away and, you know, smoking crack, kind of a big deal for a president, I would think.
00:38:43.000I would imagine there were a lot of sort of conservative people that wanted to either prove to their friends that they weren't racist or maybe, you know, genuinely thought maybe it'd be a good change or whatever it is that would say, oh, smoke and crack, like, I don't know.
00:39:04.000But the lengths that the mainstream media and conservative media went to cover this up and to protect these people, it's like, man, just one day, just once, I'd love to have or share some of the great protections that you could have if you're a leader of the Democrat Party.
00:39:22.000Mindy Patriot Angel says, Joan River died after she outed Mike Obama as a trainee.
00:39:28.000Thank you. I mean, listen, fact check true.
00:39:34.000Luckily, we don't have fact checkers here in Rumble, but that did happen shortly thereafter.
00:39:39.000And don't forget, the people who are the fact checkers there, these are the people that believe men can have periods.
00:39:45.000So, you know, the fact that even they can't come up with a way to fact check that is pretty scary and probably tells us all we need to know.
00:40:00.000Yeah. Like I said, I will not be a purveyor of conspiracy theories here, but, you know, as I said the other week when someone asked, you know, have you ever seen a picture of Michelle Obama pregnant?
00:40:16.000And you'd think that, given how many people have asked that question, you'd think someone would be like, hey, here's the picture, but no one has.
00:40:24.000It would be simple, easy to make it go away.
00:40:28.000But, hey. Yeah, so like I said, the least surprising conspiracy theory.
00:40:34.000I don't even look at it as a conspiracy theory.
00:42:50.000These companies... And eventually, I think it has to create shareholder lawsuits.
00:42:55.000I think shareholders have to come out there.
00:42:58.000They have to say, enough is enough, and start saying, hey, you're not holding up your fiduciary responsibility to do what's best for the shareholders.
00:43:09.000Because what's best for the shareholders isn't diversity and inclusion and equity if...
00:43:16.000That doesn't result in the best return on investment.
00:43:19.000And clearly, so much of this has gone so far that those companies are going to be in trouble.
00:43:23.000And guess what? Your 401k is probably invested with a lot of them.
00:43:28.000Because this is being pushed by the vanguards and the this and the other wokens of BlackRock and all of these institutions, you know, that manage so much money, you may not like them, but they're probably managing your 401k or a component of it or the companies, and they're putting this crap in there.
00:43:46.000Another reason to go to DonJrGold.com and learn about diversifying your portfolio.
00:43:52.000Because at least with gold, you can't have a lunatic, insane, trans, whatever person managing your portfolio.
00:44:04.000Not because they know how to manage your portfolio or do...
00:44:07.000Finance, but because they checked a couple boxes and the company needed that to make their ESG score viable.
00:44:34.000And this is, again, it's why a key tenet of this show is just fighting for that patriot economy, whether it was sort of finding your businesses through Public Square, go to publicsq.com.
00:44:44.000Find the companies that share your values.
00:45:05.000I think my views on that have changed a lot in the last five or ten years, whenever that became a thing.
00:45:13.000You know, at first I was like, oh, wow, he's giving up our secrets of our military-industrial complex who's functioning totally above board, and we hold the moral high ground because of everything I believed about our country.
00:46:01.000And if you don't, you're racist, you're a misogynist, and you should be canceled and fired from your job or anything.
00:46:07.000So I expect all of the leftists who abide by the insanity...
00:46:14.000Honestly, the stupidity and waste of time of pronouns, I expect them all to refer to me as your hero when they're addressing me, and if they don't, they should be guilty of all the things they'd like us to be guilty of.
00:46:30.000Let's see. It's going a little too quick.
00:48:21.000Guess what? In the amount of time that we've had, like, they got inquiry, they got this, I've done hours and hours of stuff already, I imagine.
00:48:34.000When the Democrats want something, we act in a bipartisan fashion.
00:48:36.000So we roll over and die and give them whatever they want.
00:48:39.000When we want something, they don't act in a bipartisan fashion.
00:48:42.000We're told this. When I got called back, who the hell was it?
00:48:46.000It was the senator from North Carolina, Burr.
00:48:50.000I got called back a second time to the Senate Intelligence Committee.
00:48:55.000The first 12 hours of inquisition, that wasn't enough.
00:48:59.000The hoax that we all knew by this point was a hoax.
00:49:02.000Well, we've got to bring you back for another day of testimony where if you put a comma in the wrong spot, you'll be...
00:49:12.000Thrown in jail. You know, a little inflection on the wrong word.
00:49:15.000They put you in jail. And he comes up to me, well, I'm really, I'm really sorry we had to, he's kissing my, it was like pathetic, actually.
00:49:24.000After this, I'm like, you know, like, yeah, you try to act bipartisan, but like when they want something, they don't act bipartisan.
00:49:30.000They just do it. You know, when we want something, we roll over and give it to them, and you're here talking about, oh, you're so sorry.
00:49:36.000Like, guess what? You had the power to say no.
00:49:38.000Like, 12 hours of testimony for your bullshit hoax, that wasn't enough.
00:49:42.000You'd give them one more chance to either try to get me for perjury, right, if I make a mistake, or if I don't pitch a perfect game after 50 hours or so of testimony.
00:49:52.000Notice they couldn't do anything because it was perfect.
00:49:56.000But, you know, when it's the other way, it didn't matter.
00:50:01.000You're like a feckless weakling here, you know, begging for my forgiveness after, like, you could have stopped it, but you wouldn't because you're a pussy.
00:50:09.000And that's really what it was, and that's what it comes down to.
00:50:12.000So, you know, we have to fight harder.
00:50:20.000But, like, I'm, like, watching, he's kissing my ass, so, like, I guess I guess maybe so I don't go after him on social media later on for being a weakling.
00:50:29.000You know, countless hours of prep, tens of thousands in legal fees, to go back after six months of not being in your committee to remember what I said the first time.
00:50:37.000Remember what the—I mean, because it was all made up, so I'm like, I'm trying to answer shit about stuff that, like, I had no idea because it was all just a lie.
00:50:45.000I got to figure this out, and, like, you know, they're out there leaking to the press.
00:53:15.000I just don't always announce it because I don't need to start a protest in front of the building by some of the idiot left who will try to weaponize that.
00:53:22.000But yeah, no, that's an incredible building.
00:53:25.000The rooftop there, Bar 16, wow, it's nice.
00:54:44.000Now, Byron Donalds would also make a great governor of Florida.
00:54:46.000I don't want to do that. I joked a couple weeks ago, I had Matt Gaetz on the show, and Byron was on right after, and I was just in the process of endorsing Matt Gaetz for governor, because I'd love to see it.
00:54:54.000And Byron's like my next test. I'm like, oh crap, I forgot.
00:54:56.000We have two awesome people that could be governor.
00:56:14.000So even if I didn't come from there, growing up on construction sites, it's a little different.
00:56:21.000I guess that's why I probably, you know, maybe curse a little too often and why I'm not just, you know, some other schmug.
00:56:32.000It would have been a lot easier just to shut up about politics and stay building buildings and, you know, be invited to the cool person parties in New York City and do all that shit, but it wasn't for me.
00:57:35.000Like I said, it was definitely easier.
00:57:37.000We seem to be the only family in modern, perhaps American political history, who definitely have spent more time fighting the shit and losing money than others.
00:57:47.000I guess if you're Joe Biden and Hunter, you can be a crackhead and make millions as long as you're a Democrat.
00:57:55.000Win-win-win with Trump. Can you speak a few words for check-in for us?
00:57:58.000Yeah. I can go on for hours, but I speak it fluently.
00:58:06.000My mom and my grandfather, really, the guy that got me into the outdoor stuff.
00:58:12.000He understood how blessed we were growing up, frankly, just growing up in America, let alone the other good fortunes that I've been blessed with.
00:58:20.000I don't have to list them. You guys know what they are.
00:58:22.000I don't hide from them. I think he, along with my mother, and then obviously even my father were like, yeah, they have a good, you've got to see the other side.
00:58:56.000I think I've said it on the show before.
00:58:59.000My first sort of memory of fear was getting pulled out of a line as I was going over there the first time because I was wearing a jean jacket with the stars and stripes on it.
00:59:12.000But there, they started asking me, are you there to preach the propaganda?
00:59:16.000I was like, I'm five or six years old.
00:59:18.000I didn't even know what propaganda was.
00:59:20.000A guy in a drab communist military outfit with an AK over his shoulder pulled me out of that line and started questioning me.
00:59:26.000I'm like, holy crap. Waiting in those lines for bread, I assure you, having done it, is not nearly as glamorous as Bernie Sanders would have you believe from one of his three vacation homes.
01:00:57.000I remember going there and there's this old castle.
01:01:01.000I think the first part of it started being built in like 1282 or something ridiculous.
01:01:05.000You know, just a small part of it, and they add on to it over there.
01:01:08.000But, like, you think about it, it's like a long time before they even discovered America, this thing was starting to be built, and we were repairing it.
01:01:15.000And you guys remember, like, the old cast-iron radiators that were in bathrooms and stuff like that?
01:01:20.000Well, there was one that they were replacing in this, like, it's like a...
01:01:24.000Literally a bathroom, like a tiny sort of five foot by five foot square bathroom.
01:01:31.000It's literally three cast iron circles.
01:01:33.000They put the steam through it, and that's how you warm the place and everything like that.
01:01:36.000And I'm looking. And it's sitting at the front door of this place.
01:01:40.000And they just put in brand new wood flooring.
01:02:09.000So, Jack, like 6'5", 280, let's call it.
01:02:13.000Guys, and they're both, they're carrying this little three-section cast iron radiator.
01:02:17.000It probably weighs about 40 pounds, and they have safety straps on the bottom, and they're picking it up, and they're moving it six inches, jamming it down on the floor.
01:03:46.000Looked at me, and they were embarrassed.
01:03:47.000They were ashamed. And that's what you realize.
01:03:48.000If you gave someone a problem, like, here, you're on this side of a wall, you have to get here, like, they'd walk into the wall for three hours because they've been, like, thinking has been bred out of the problem.
01:04:00.000Like, you can't walk around it or go over it or under it or figure out a, you know, like, there's no, it's just, we'll just sit there and, you know, bang our heads away.
01:04:10.000And it's like they're trying to literally educate thought Out of people.
01:04:16.000And you just got to go along with whatever the newest thing is.
01:04:19.000And it's scary. And, like, these guys recognize—you saw, like, the light bulb.
01:04:22.000They were just, like—they literally were there as a shame.
01:04:24.000So it's a shame what's going on with all of these things.
01:05:12.000I'm... I don't have to follow the rules of Congress.
01:05:15.000So I put up the information for what that website is.
01:05:20.000If you want to help out Peter in that legal defense fund, I told you guys profit for the thing that I'm going to give out to the J6 legal defense funds, whether it's my father's or others, I'll figure that out now.
01:05:32.000But profit, we did about $250,000, a quarter of a million dollars from you guys.
01:05:40.000So I'll be dealing with that this week, just dealing with the last of the accounting.
01:05:44.000Like I said, that's profit, not revenue.
01:05:45.000We did a lot more revenue, but it costs money to make it and all of that stuff.
01:05:50.000But just under $250,000, quarter of a million in profit that I'll distribute to those causes.
01:05:59.000So that's all because of you guys. So yeah, go back, scroll through it.
01:06:03.000What was the Peter Navarro website at defendpeter.com?
01:06:09.000Again, Peter, you know, one of the only, like, loyalists in that White House.
01:06:14.000People, they've been trying to go after him for a long time, an architect of our China policy and the trade stuff that we did to, you know, that's a big deal.
01:06:24.000So, you know, check out defendpeter.com, friend of the show, great American, a true patriot.
01:07:12.000Sorry, okay. So, not Forbes Inc, actually, but Forbes Inc, the handle on here.
01:07:17.000Yeah, like, that was a key tenant of the 2016 platform, and they did it, you know, knocking out the regulation, the excessive stuff.
01:07:24.000The regulation is great for the big companies, the big, woke corporations where they have billions of people on the payroll who can deal with that, and they figure out how to do it, or they pay off their congressmen so they don't really have to apply to them because they're over a certain size.
01:07:36.000That stuff's designed to stymie and destroy small business.
01:07:40.000So that was a huge part of the success that we had.
01:07:48.000Yeah, you know, I'm trying to read the other questions, but a huge part of it was that, and so, yeah, that's why those guys do it.
01:07:55.000Why does DeSantis keep saying when I was deployed with the Navy SEALs?
01:07:57.000I think he was, like, around them as a JAG officer, but, yeah, there definitely seems to be a little...
01:08:01.000I'm not going to accuse anyone or anything, but, yeah, someone asked the question about it.
01:08:05.000Yeah, well, listen, it's cloud-chasing, probably, but, yeah, I think he was a JAG officer, did, like, legal work or whatever it is, and maybe some of those was with some of those guys, but...
01:08:17.000Yeah, no, I'm not. Oh, we're going to watch Locals, so if you guys are there, if you guys are sort of the monthly subscriber, I'll do that simultaneously so I can take questions from there as well.
01:08:28.000But again, because it's not the volume, it's a little bit easier for me to read, so I'll launch that now, and we'll hit that.
01:08:34.000So if you guys are on Locals, you can keep watching this.
01:08:36.000Get in there. Ask your questions there.
01:10:29.000You can follow them on social, you know, Field Ethos, or go to fieldethos.com, read the article, sort of an unapologetic take on the outdoors.
01:10:38.000Like, I got so sick of, like, the hunting.
01:10:39.000Like, we saved the elk's asshole to make a gnocchi.
01:11:04.000All of it gets eaten. Oftentimes I'll donate a lot of it if I'm hunting in areas that need it.
01:11:08.000I'll pay for the processing and give it to families in the area.
01:11:12.000These days, by the time I get done with processing and shipping it home for $2,000, it's easier and cheaper to buy steak and I can feed someone local.
01:11:47.000Guys getting together. We were just sitting there literally like a text thread talking shit about what was even going on in the outdoor space.
01:11:54.000And just decided to do something different.
01:11:56.000Some of the guys, even we work with, like, you know, bigger corporations, they're like, listen, we've got to send you a letter chastising you for being a little too unapologetic, but we don't want you to actually change anything, but there's someone woke on our board bitching, so don't change anything, but here's the cover our ass email, so just ignore it.
01:12:14.000It's pretty funny. So we're having a real good time with that.
01:12:17.000So if you haven't seen it, check out Field Ethos.
01:12:24.000Can we do that or not? Okay, it's on the bottom of the URL. Subscribe to the email letters.
01:12:30.000They're really fun. A lot of them just, like, short reads.
01:12:33.000You know, the vast majority of our writing is coming from guys just submitting it on their own, not professional writers and anything like that.
01:12:39.000We've found some amazing people with stories.
01:12:42.000I think that's a really big one, so I think that's good.
01:13:02.000I mean, like, the vast majority to Democrats who have literally done nothing but, you know, ship their jobs abroad, pretend they're doing something.
01:13:13.000It's like the DOJ. It's like, you know, honestly, it's like the FBI. The door kickers, right?
01:13:19.000The guys... That are actual autoworkers, not that represent the autoworkers and, you know, make seven-figure salaries at the union and take their money and get wined and dined by Congress and wheel and deal with their money.
01:13:32.000Like, the autoworkers, like, the vast majority of them are Trump.
01:13:36.000You know, and by the way, if they aren't the policies that are Trump's policies, therefore, they just have been lied to that those are Democrat policies.
01:13:45.000So, like, the Democrats, like, the union workers, they're literally...
01:13:50.000Donating their union dues to their demise.
01:13:56.000You know, the union leaders, and again, very different from the workers, I see it all the time, you know, the union, whether it's the truckers, whether it's the autoworkers, like, the vast majority of the actual people paying the dues are Trump people, but the people in charge are owned, beholden, and controlled entirely.
01:14:34.000The technology is owned by—like, it's insane!
01:14:37.000And yet, Their union dues are going to be there.
01:14:41.000They're going to donate to make sure that they elect Democrats in Detroit and elsewhere.
01:14:45.000The rest, you know, those companies will run and they'll escape to Mexico and elsewhere so that, you know, we don't have to play by those rules.
01:14:51.000They can do whatever they want. And they'll do it to their demise.
01:14:56.000So, Melissa Barnes is saying, will I have Tucker on?
01:16:55.000And that's growing. And, yeah, the people saying, hey, it needs America First USA. It needs some improvement, but it's great engagement.
01:17:01.000Yeah, like, I get better engagement there with, like, one-tenth the audience.
01:17:07.000Mad River American, you were banned on X. Yeah, so, you know, good for 2Tammy.
01:17:17.000Screw Twitter. So, yeah, I don't abandon any platforms, but, you know, oh, Trump should come back on there.
01:17:22.000You mean after they threw him off, after he takes time, money, after we have people, you know, a lot of Americans invested in, you know, Truth Social and the parent companies and all of that.
01:17:33.000And it's like, oh, go back on there now.
01:17:35.000It's like, well, but... There's no guarantee they don't shut you off again or they don't shadow ban you again.
01:17:46.000The SEC obviously screwed with them for a very long time, and that merger, you know, the DWAC stuff that you guys ask me about a lot.
01:17:53.000Since I sit on the board of TMTJ, I've got to be a little careful about what I say.
01:17:58.000But like, yeah, we get to crawl back only to get shut down again.
01:18:00.000You know, listen, and again, I think it's better than it was before.
01:18:04.000I love that there's someone at least, you know, in that world championing at least, you know, somewhat free speech.
01:18:10.000But, you know, I've seen, in my opinion, again, just based on opinion, you see, you know, there's plenty of sort of just DeSantis fluffing there sort of disproportionately.
01:18:19.000You know, some people are shadow banned less than others and all of that.
01:18:23.000So, you know, I don't know. I get why my father...
01:18:26.000Listen, I think it would be a clear tactical thing, smart to maybe do for a little bit, but like...
01:18:36.000I'm torn. I don't give up any platform.
01:18:39.000I'm not willing to cede ground on there.
01:18:41.000I just sort of work through the shadowbends.
01:18:42.000I'm still on Instagram. Clearly, I get crushed there and Facebook.
01:18:46.000I try and hopefully people keep pushing and try to fight it.
01:18:52.000But it's not... It's not that easy, but I think we got to do it.
01:18:57.000Like I said, with PublicSQ, PublicSquare, support the companies that actually support you.
01:19:02.000Share those values. Grow those businesses.
01:19:04.000If we're going into a world of crap with this economy, you can choose where your money gets spent.
01:19:10.000You can put a patriotic American's kid through hockey practice or whatever it is and keep their small business alive, or you can give it to people who are going to be...
01:19:20.000Donating against you. Like the UAW issue, Melissa.
01:19:33.000You can choose where to spend your money, or maybe it's a little easy.
01:19:37.000You already have an Amazon account set up, and you haven't set up a public square account yet.
01:19:42.000I don't know, man. If we go by the mentality of, well, it's just easy because I can click one button right now.
01:19:46.000It's like, I wouldn't be long our country and so many of the things that we believe if we all have that mentality and we won't take the two seconds to sign up for Public Square, that we won't support those businesses.
01:20:03.000If one button, if that's all it takes, just save a little time, one button.
01:20:07.000Guess what? They're adding one button into Public Square and they're growing that, but we've got to be there on the early adaption side Not just when it's already easy.
01:20:16.000And we can't just keep supporting the companies that do it.
01:20:20.000And again, I've been guilty of some of these things myself.
01:20:23.000But we've got to start transitioning over.
01:20:27.000Not the way the Democrats would have you transition.
01:22:12.000Hopefully that's not a Fed. But if you are a Fed, you're probably one of the door kickers, and we like those guys because, man, the vast majority of them are on our side, and I only know that because they tell me that every time they run into me when they're embarrassed as to what's going on at the upper echelons of their institutions.
01:24:01.000Probably. Yeah, I haven't been on Fox in a year.
01:24:04.000For those of you who don't know, I used to be on a couple times a week, and I guess I wasn't fluffing Ron DeSantis enough to be able to meet their RINO qualifications.
01:24:15.000But no, it's good. Andy in Michigan, would you cage fight Michelle Obama?
01:24:28.000I could take that so many places, but oh, man, they'd kill me.
01:24:33.000Not that I give a shit, but... Man, I guess it's okay if you lose to a dude, right?
01:24:38.000It's a little harder to lose to a chick, but there's plenty of UFC fighters that are females that I'm friendly with, that I follow, that we go back and forth, or whatever it is, who probably would kick the shit out of me.
01:24:50.000But Michael, I mean, sorry, slip of the tongue.
01:26:49.000That's a good question. I don't know if that was given to Tucker at Fox, and if it was given to Tucker, you know, I'll give McCarthy credit.
01:26:55.000He did that. I know a lot of D.C. establishment folks did not want to do that.
01:26:59.000You know, there's trade secrets, but I mean, I would like to see the rest of it made public.
01:27:03.000You know, I... I don't know that there's anything in there.
01:27:06.000And if there's stuff that's in there, I'm sure they'd weaponize it and the Democrats would find the one segment of one guy actually misbehaving.
01:27:12.000Like they did basically for the first two years, they'd find one guy that did something to a cop or whatever, and that would be the only thing we'd actually see.
01:27:19.000So I imagine that would be weaponized.
01:27:22.000Yeah, I imagine he doesn't, because I was probably tied to Fox.
01:27:26.000Because Fox probably has it, there's a reason we haven't seen more of it.
01:27:30.000And, you know, again, because the 99.999% of the narrative would be against everything that we were led to believe for two years, and that Fox probably pushed on all of their other talent, other than Tucker, really, I guess.
01:27:43.000When, you know, when we could say, hey, yeah, there may be one or two, maybe four bad actors, but it's all bullshit.
01:27:50.000And so I imagine there's a reason we haven't seen more, certainly from Fox, about that.
01:27:57.000What's the forum for South Dakota tomorrow?
01:28:50.000I'm friendly with some of the people there.
01:28:53.000But again, you know... It's not, can you trust those people?
01:28:56.000Can you trust what they're allowed to say and who's really willing to push the buttons?
01:29:00.000And, you know, I think the only people willing that I saw, you know, really willing to go sort of against even the Republican establishment or sort of, let's call it the rhino Republican, washed down, MAGA, fake, weak, conservatism, whatever you want, was Tucker.
01:29:13.000And, you know, you saw what happened there.
01:29:14.000So I imagine a lot of people who are dependent on that paycheck may not go against that machine.
01:29:20.000Yeah, and N.H. Murray says, yeah, Disney owns ABC, not Fox.
01:29:24.000It's two different things, but Disney's just as bad, if not even worse.
01:29:33.000Yeah. Do I ever look at my dad and say, there's my president, like I do?
01:30:05.000I've said it. I've talked about the freezing up.
01:30:06.000You know, we're no different than them. They have Dianne Feinstein that's literally, you know, put, like, her estate in receivership because she can't handle it, but, like, Her daughter's running her estate because, like, she's been brain dead for almost three years.
01:30:19.000Like, this is, you know, and it was going downhill way beyond that.
01:30:23.000This is, like, one of those D.C. things.
01:30:24.000Like, it was literally common knowledge that she's got, like, late-stage dementia.
01:30:29.000But, like, it does not stop her from being the senator from the state of California.
01:34:25.000Like, imagine—they would have impeached Trump if he didn't.
01:34:28.000I mean, no one talks about this, but, like— Oh, DeSantis did so—no, he didn't.
01:34:33.000He wanted to shut down interstate commerce.
01:34:35.000He wanted to do that. He shut down the beaches in Florida.
01:34:38.000If Trump went against Fauci early on in there, then he stopped listening to him, and that's when they started attacking Trump even more.
01:34:47.000It's fair. I'll answer the question, but they would have impeached him again.
01:34:52.000Had he gone against Fauci with all this stuff initially when that's who we're supposed to believe and he was lying to Congress and all of these things?
01:34:58.000Like, there was no, like, you know, you can't pretend to be a doctor on TV, though.
01:35:03.000Fauci seems to have done a good job of that, but you don't know that.
01:35:05.000But, like, you guys can't even fathom, and I was there watching this stuff, and I, you know, much closer to it than anyone in many respects, but, like, What they would have done to Trump had he just, from moment one, gone against Fauci.
01:35:19.000Literally, the Republicans all would have lined up behind and impeached him.
01:35:30.000They don't talk about the others that they say were great heroes during this cause that were just as bad, but there's a lot of revisionist history.
01:35:40.000I'll answer that question. But give me a break.
01:35:44.000People have got to understand what was going on at that time and what would have happened otherwise if you went against these people.
01:35:49.000And again, when he started going against them, when he stopped listening to their bullshit, when he wouldn't go with the endless lockouts, when he left it to the states, A big component of this thing.
01:37:44.000Melissa, you said you just saw your neighbor had a what?
01:37:48.000Had a mask on. Yeah, no, I mean, like, people are buying this.
01:37:50.000Like, it's like, literally, there's scientific, like, even, like, liberal scientific research that's saying it's all bullshit.
01:37:56.000De La Cerna Maga. Yeah, you fell from Fauci's bullshit.
01:37:59.000Like, I was always a little skeptical of the mask.
01:38:02.000I was like, you know, you're spending enough time on an airplane.
01:38:04.000If you can smell some of the smells there and you're wearing the mask, what's stopping a virus that's, you know, Measured in microns from actually doing something.
01:40:01.000That's the problem. All of that has been uncovered.
01:40:03.000Perhaps the greatest thing that Trump could have done was show just how full of shit we are so that no one falls for this stuff ever again.
01:40:11.000But, you know, you go back a few years and people still believe that, you know, the shining beacon on a hill, it's like, meh.
01:41:54.000Thoughts on internet personalities, like Brandon Herrera running for Congress?
01:41:59.000I don't know. If people will actually fight, I'm all for anyone running for Congress.
01:42:02.000I'm for breaking out of that mold of you have to just sort of be someone who was doing something in Congress before that to become a congressman, and then forever you can be in Congress.
01:42:11.000It's like... I don't know enough about him to tell you yes or no.
01:42:19.000But I'm for getting anyone that's outside of sort of mainstream political establishment.
01:42:25.000And if you've been successful on the internet and have a following and you then prove to them that you'll actually follow through on the stuff that you said, hey, I like that.
01:42:36.000And if those guys understand What their people want, I think that's important.
01:42:42.000If you're good online, if you're good on Instagram, if you have a good following, you probably understand what your people want.
01:42:48.000If you get voted in, hopefully you'll act on what Your people want, which is the opposite of what happens a lot in Congress.
01:42:55.000You do that, you get to D.C., and now you start giving the D.C. rhinos what they want because you want to be in polite company in D.C., even if it's 100% opposite of the people that put you there.
01:43:05.000So we've got to remember that and see what's there.
01:43:08.000Scroll up here on Locals a little bit.
01:43:09.000bit. I can't see any of the questions.
01:43:13.000What do you think about all the info coming out about the Maui fires and how
01:43:54.000The Trump mugshot merch, like 99% of the, basically I think other than me and maybe the campaign, my father's campaign, anyone else that was doing that, they were just putting that in their pocket.
01:44:04.000I would have made from what I did, and I didn't spend much time with it, but I would have made a quarter of a million dollars.
01:44:15.000And I'm sure a lot of the voices, and they're conservative voices, and they did it, and they had something teed up ready to go, and they plugged and played and did it.
01:44:21.000You know, I'm going to donate mine, like I said, to the To the legal defense fund, but, you know, but, yeah, I don't know.
01:45:00.000I don't know anything about it, but it's always funny to see some of this stuff.
01:45:07.000I don't know. Yeah, I would think, you know, Oprah and The Rock and, you know, and other Maui landowners could raise a lot of money between themselves, not just going out to the general public.
01:45:16.000I agree. But, you know, I get it also.
01:45:21.000It's a volume game. It's sort of like politics.
01:45:22.000You got to go out to the public. You can't do it yourself.
01:45:24.000You can be, you know, it doesn't work when you see what we're up against.
01:45:28.000And what we're up against is a lot different than Don Jr.
01:45:31.000for the new $100 bill. Andy in Michigan.
01:45:34.000I appreciate that. Shouldn't the Pritzkers in Illinois put illegal migrants in the Hyatt hotels around the country?
01:46:58.000Yeah, you know, we're always on the verge of losing because we need more people who keep fighting, and that's why we just do—we have to start stepping it up more.
01:47:06.000I think, again, I think this Congress is probably doing more than any other in the past, but we've got to do more because it's not enough.
01:47:14.000And, like, you know, us stepping it up a little bit is great.
01:47:17.000It's nice to see, but, like, we've got to go full—we've got to go full dem.
01:47:20.000You've got to do exactly what they're doing and play the game they would otherwise— There'll be a point where you won't be able to get that back.
01:50:57.000So they're actually housing migrants in Staten Island?
01:50:59.000Yeah, of course, they'll send it to one conservative area.
01:51:01.000But it seems to be doing it all over New York, Staten Island being sort of the last real conservative bastion, certainly around New York City as one of the boroughs.
01:52:31.000So, like, he's going to be so different, and Trump's lost it now.
01:52:34.000Like, the bad people in there were brought in by Chris Christie.
01:52:37.000The ones that weren't... Where the ones like, you know, like a Peter Navarro, who would not have gotten a nod from anyone in D.C. You know, Trump found them, brought them in, were listening to them during the campaign.
01:52:47.000Once it transitioned to sort of proper transition, there's 4,000 jobs you've got to fill.
01:52:51.000I'm not saying it's easy, but, like, you've got to trust those guys.
01:52:53.000And so now we know, and I guess that's why...
01:52:57.000The attacks are so much worse now than even 16, because now they understand that Trump knows.
01:53:02.000If Trump knows that they'll do something, that's an even bigger threat.
01:53:05.000If they can stall enough people to slow-roll these things, that's the problem.
