Triggered - Donald Trump Jr - BREAKING NEWS: Donald Trump Indicted & Media's Sick Shooting Response & Joe Kent on the Battle for America's Future | TRIGGERED Ep. 20

00:00:00.000 you you

00:01:05.000 well guys I guess I got some news about 10-15 minutes ago This interview tonight is actually a really good one with my friend Joe Kent, a hero, a war hero, a fighter, a gold star husband.

00:01:49.000 All-around badass. But we actually taped it like two hours ago, a couple hours ago, because he was in town and I was like, hey, I'm going to help you with a fundraiser.

00:01:57.000 Let's do whatever we can, because I believe we are in a fight for...

00:02:02.000 The future of our country, for our very existence.

00:02:06.000 And, man, I guess I was proven even more right than I would have ever imagined, because apparently, you know, Soros-backed Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg is actually indicting my father.

00:02:22.000 So, let's be clear, folks. 0.99

00:02:24.000 This is Like, communist-level shit. 0.99

00:02:28.000 This is stuff that would make Mao, Stalin, Pol Pot, it would make them blush. 1.00

00:02:38.000 It's so flagrant.

00:02:40.000 It's so crazed. When even, like, the radical leftists of the Washington Post are out there saying, it's not really based on facts, it's not really based on the law, it's not really based in reality, but it's 100% based on politics.

00:02:54.000 When your enemies are saying that, It's got to tell you everything you need to know right now about where we are as a country.

00:03:04.000 You see what's going on this weekend and the apologies for the trans shooter. 0.99

00:03:10.000 You saw the press secretary, maybe.

00:03:12.000 I know I tweeted about it earlier, saying, we're really concerned about the trans community.

00:03:18.000 Yeah, because it's them. Right?

00:03:20.000 It's them. So...

00:03:23.000 Apparently, this corrupt leftist DA is indicting my father on claims that even the federal government that spent six years trying to put him in jail, even they didn't want to touch it, and yet they go forward.

00:03:43.000 So let's be very clear, because there were a couple Republicans, people who have proven themselves to be rhinos while trying to wear the MAGA cap, Let's be clear, for those people who said, it's not real.

00:03:58.000 Trump's making it up.

00:04:01.000 It's not a real issue for us.

00:04:04.000 If you don't think that the weaponization of the entire federal government against their political enemies, against the voters, half of the country, approximately, As we've seen, if you don't think that's a problem, you don't even belong in any position in government, let alone president.

00:04:28.000 I get you can have your sound bites and you can do your nonsense and pretend you're doing great and hire your influencers, but if you don't think that's an issue, guess what?

00:04:36.000 Just wait till they come for you.

00:04:38.000 Because they will.

00:04:40.000 We're in a battle for our existence.

00:04:43.000 And this entire case...

00:04:45.000 It hinges on unreliable, discredited witnesses like Stormy Daniels, who I believe owes my father a couple hundred grand in legal fees because they lost.

00:04:55.000 It hinged on disgraced, jailed, disbarred.

00:05:02.000 Clown lawyer Michael Cohen, along with a really shaky and murky legal theory surrounding campaign finance law.

00:05:11.000 Again, that the people who actually look at campaign finance law, like the feds, they didn't even look at it.

00:05:20.000 A state district attorney has no business prosecuting a federal campaign violation, but that doesn't matter.

00:05:27.000 Who cares, guys? The law doesn't really matter if you can weaponize it against conservatives, if you can weaponize it against people who are going to take on the swamp.

00:05:37.000 You know, notice, they don't do this to the Biden administration, or to the Biden family, or to the Clintons, or to any one of the corrupt Democrats out there that have made millions and probably billions of Where there's smoke like you wouldn't believe, it's not even a story.

00:05:58.000 That's Russian disinformation.

00:06:00.000 As backed up by mainstream media, by big tech, by people from the intelligence community who know when they lie to you, when they lie to your face, there's no consequence.

00:06:13.000 There's no nothing. Now, if it was the other way and you talk about the Biden administration, oh, you can't possibly do that.

00:06:18.000 No, no, no. It's only Trump.

00:06:21.000 So this is weaponized justice at its absolute worst, okay?

00:06:27.000 I've thought America was going on a downhill slope for quite some time, and that's why my father got in this game, to fight back for the American people.

00:06:37.000 When I see this, and when I see the weak-kneed Republican response of, it's not really an issue yet, because it's not on you yet, but it will be.

00:06:46.000 They've made that very clear.

00:06:48.000 Look at what we saw just today.

00:06:52.000 The QAnon shaman released, released 14 months early after spending two years in jail unnecessarily because the Democrats wouldn't release the exculpatory video that got him out of jail now.

00:07:07.000 The guy did almost three years in jail for a non-violent offense.

00:07:12.000 And then it was shown that he was essentially escorted around the building.

00:07:16.000 Can't show that video, can't give that to him.

00:07:20.000 So that would get him out of it, because that would actually clear everyone else who's been in jail.

00:07:26.000 We had Joe McBride on here two weeks ago talking about just that, a lawyer who represents some of these jailed, peaceful defendants.

00:07:36.000 Now, they'll spend time in jail, but, you know, if you burn down a building, if you kill David Dorn, you know, it's in the name of social justice, it doesn't really matter.

00:07:48.000 It's different. So if you don't think that this is the weaponization of justice, if you don't think that there's a two-tiered system of justice, depending on which side of the political spectrum you're on, you haven't been watching.

00:08:02.000 So again, this is me getting this information a few minutes ago.

00:08:08.000 But if you're an American, not a Republican or a Democrat, and you don't see this for what it is, and you're not outraged about the insanity If you don't see this as sort of the trumped up, pardon the pun, charges to try to do whatever damage you can to your political enemies, then you haven't been watching.

00:08:31.000 And if you're a conservative, having seen everything we've seen transpire over the last six or seven years, and you still believe the nonsense, and you haven't been totally jaded By the media, by big tech, by the lies, by the Democrat Party, then I don't know what to tell you. 0.99

00:08:56.000 I don't know what to tell you because you haven't been watching or you're stupid. 0.99

00:09:01.000 Honestly, if you don't see it for what it is, at this point, I have no other... 1.00

00:09:07.000 Response other than, man, you need a better education.

00:09:11.000 Or you've been brainwashed by the radical left, the same people that tell you that it was the shooter this weekend and its community that was the victim, not the six young Christians murdered in cold blood by a trans sociopath, fed every excuse, boosted By that same radical media and big tech. 0.72

00:09:36.000 God forbid you say something against them, you'll be cancelled.

00:09:39.000 We gotta kowtow to every whim and every desire.

00:09:45.000 Someone who's been turned into a freak show by getting jacked up with testosterone and meds in their youth before they could probably make these decisions.

00:09:55.000 No, no. This is gonna be a wonderful result, folks.

00:09:58.000 It's gonna keep getting better.

00:10:00.000 It's not. It's only going to get worse until we say enough is enough, until we call out this nonsense, until we all become unafraid to speak up against these injustices.

00:10:15.000 That's all it is.

00:10:17.000 Again, when even the radical lunatics at the Amazon slash Bezos Washington Post are saying, I don't know, this is kind of sketchy, You know, when the Republicans like Ron DeSantis say, well, this isn't a real issue, really?

00:10:34.000 Just wait, Ron. One day you may be the man.

00:10:37.000 The way you've handled the last couple weeks, I actually hope not, unfortunately.

00:10:41.000 And I had pretty solid aspirations for you.

00:10:45.000 I thought it was going somewhere.

00:10:46.000 But if you can't figure out that this is a real problem, if you think it's trumped up, as you've said very clearly, as you flip-flop on things like getting in or out of the war in Ukraine because your donors tell you what to do, Guys, if you're one of those Republicans, we don't need you.

00:11:05.000 We had our Jeb Bushes.

00:11:07.000 We've had our Liz Cheneys. 0.98

00:11:09.000 We've listened to the Karl Rove's get us into the endless wars.

00:11:12.000 We don't need that again.

00:11:15.000 So remember, folks, I'll probably end up doing a special on this on the weekend.

00:11:19.000 Like I said, I found out about this about 15 minutes before I went live.

00:11:23.000 I was literally getting in my car to drive to an event for Joe Kent when my phone starts blowing up, and I'm like, oh, crap.

00:11:30.000 So I don't even know what it means yet.

00:11:34.000 I know what it means. It's the same old thing.

00:11:36.000 They got them now, and they'll do this, and they'll get their show trial or whatever, at least the show perp walker.

00:11:41.000 That's what they'll try. You know, they'll raise countless dollars from the communists in New York City and California because they're doing what's right.

00:11:50.000 Because, you know, remember, you know, they want democracy.

00:11:53.000 Yeah, this doesn't exactly look like democracy, but it doesn't matter.

00:11:57.000 Right? That's just a soundbite for complete and total capitulation.

00:12:02.000 You know, they love you and your opinion if it's exactly what they tell you it is.

00:12:07.000 Now, if you deviate a little bit, if you deviate a little bit, Ha!

00:12:13.000 And you're canceled. By the way, if we're talking about the trans issue, look at what they did to Martina Navratilova, who was like a gay icon before it was cool.

00:12:24.000 Someone who fought for gay and lesbian rights before that made you, like, immune to criticism.

00:12:33.000 And when she came out a couple of years ago and said, hey man, I don't think there should be biological men in women's sports as one of the most accomplished women athlete ever, The community canceled her.

00:12:45.000 They went after her.

00:12:47.000 30 years of fighting for their rights meant nothing anymore.

00:12:52.000 They only accept total surrender.

00:12:57.000 We can't go for it anymore, guys.

00:12:59.000 So I'm going to go make some phone calls.

00:13:02.000 I'm going to look into this further.

00:13:05.000 I'm going to see, you know, what exactly it means and, you know, talk to the team.

00:13:09.000 Maybe we'll have to do a special over the weekend.

00:13:11.000 I just, you know, I don't have much more to say other than the insanity of what it is.

00:13:15.000 The weak-kneed response from so many Republicans, especially those that, you know, have done a really good job of paying influencers to make them seem really MAGA. You know, hey, I get it.

00:13:25.000 Unfortunately, that's the game.

00:13:27.000 And that's what it is for them.

00:13:28.000 You know, they don't really care about these things.

00:13:30.000 They care about what their donors ultimately tell them, because that's where they get their money that allows them to continue and perpetuate their careers.

00:13:35.000 That's why they hate Trump, because Trump doesn't really need them.

00:13:37.000 It's why they've pulled... All the stops to go after Trump for six years.

00:13:43.000 I know a little bit about it myself because they did the same to me.

00:13:46.000 And it's never going to end, folks, until we say enough is enough.

00:13:51.000 Again, until we become unafraid to speak out.

00:13:56.000 They have spent probably trillions putting you in your place. 0.96

00:14:00.000 They hate your guts.

00:14:03.000 They despise you if you're a patriotic American with traditional American values.

00:14:10.000 They want to weaponize anything against you.

00:14:13.000 You, the vast majority of Americans, mean nothing compared to some radical, insane, but heavily funded, boosted group that make up a tiny fraction of the population.

00:14:26.000 Guys, what we saw this weekend... 0.99

00:14:29.000 It's all part of the same sick and disgusting trend.

00:14:33.000 So I'm going to go dissect a little bit more of this.

00:14:36.000 Watch the rest of the interview. You're going to want to see my take again on the shooting.

00:14:40.000 You're going to want to hear from Joe Kent, one of the few guys that really gets what's going on, doesn't just talk about the issues in his home state, but the sort of geopolitical consequence of all of that.

00:14:51.000 We taped that a couple hours ago, again, before I found all of this out.

00:14:55.000 But I think you'll find it enlightening anyway, Man, I should not have to be one of the few people aggressively pushing back on this, or one of the few people perhaps with a platform pushing back on this insanity, but as long as I am, I appreciate you guys.

00:15:11.000 I appreciate your support in...

00:15:16.000 Just helping get the truth out.

00:15:18.000 So share this.

00:15:19.000 Talk about the insanity.

00:15:21.000 Become unafraid. Check out this interview because, again, I think the other things that we're talking about, certainly in my intro, the rest of it, literally, they go hand in hand.

00:15:31.000 The issues themselves have nothing to do with each other, but it's that power, the weaponization of anything against what would be considered at any other point in civilized history Good, decent, moral values.

00:15:48.000 That's all on the table, guys, and they've made it very, very clear.

00:15:53.000 So, thank you, and like I said, I'll give you guys some information.

00:15:56.000 Maybe I'll do a special this weekend, or hit it hard on Monday, just depending on what I can kind of find out and when.

00:16:02.000 But it'll be interesting to see the response, and maybe this will get a couple Republicans to finally flip-flop and do the right thing, and the thing that all of us would actually want, but their donors maybe didn't.

00:16:12.000 But... We know it'll be fake, so who cares?

00:16:17.000 And we'll see. But, guys, thank you very much.

00:16:19.000 Check this out. Today is Thursday, March 30th, and welcome to another episode of Triggered.

00:16:27.000 Tonight's guest will be Army Special Forces veteran Joe Kent.

00:16:32.000 Great soldier, great patriot, has been running for Congress to push back against the nonsense, and also an incredible gold star husband who understands the pitfalls of our never-ending wars and insane policy.

00:16:47.000 But before we get to Joe, We have some awful news.

00:16:51.000 As you all have probably been seeing this week, three children and three school staff members were gunned down in a shooting at a Christian elementary school on Monday.

00:17:03.000 The killer is a woman named Audrey Hale who was transgendered and wanted to go by the pronouns he, him. 0.74

00:17:11.000 There's also a report out that the shooter was having private sessions with the school's head pastor.

00:17:18.000 Whose daughter was gunned down in cold blood as part of this deranged sociopath's murder spree.

00:17:26.000 We'll continue to follow that big development, but as always, the immediate response to this disgusting massacre is to blame guns. 0.60

00:17:35.000 Not to blame the mental health effects or side effects of puberty blockers.

00:17:41.000 Not to do or talk about the indoctrination of these children.

00:17:46.000 Not to talk about the insanity that is being driven down their throats in our public school systems and elsewhere by the radicalized trans movement. 0.91

00:17:56.000 No no no folks, it's not that.

00:17:59.000 It's always guns.

00:18:01.000 Again, We're jacking up our kids with nonsense, both in and out.

00:18:06.000 Kids who are already struggling mentally with the radical indoctrination of unstable people.

00:18:15.000 And no, no, no. It's the gun.

00:18:17.000 Let's talk about that, folks.

00:18:19.000 No gun law would have stopped this tragedy.

00:18:23.000 The only policy that could have stopped it is making schools more secure.

00:18:28.000 The shooter Apparently was looking at multiple similar targets and chose this school because it was a path of least resistance, because it was a gun-free zone.

00:18:40.000 And gun-free zones are targets for these maniacs.

00:18:45.000 But guys, that's not stopping Joe Biden or Pelosi or a bunch of the gun-grabbing Democrats from pushing their assault weapons ban.

00:18:55.000 And this isn't any normal shooting.

00:18:57.000 It appears to be an act of terrorism.

00:19:02.000 A hate crime against Christians. 1.00

00:19:05.000 The killer had a manifesto.

00:19:08.000 Where is it? These things are always released.

00:19:10.000 I have read and seen that the killer said, you come after our kids and we'll kill your kids.

00:19:16.000 By the way, folks, like, some of the most radical terrorists in the world don't deliberately just target children.

00:19:23.000 And yet, that seems to be what happened here.

00:19:27.000 If someone committed a hate crime against the trans community, literally all of corporate America would be up in arms.

00:19:36.000 There would be outrage.

00:19:37.000 There would be vigils.

00:19:39.000 There would be telethons.

00:19:42.000 But when someone from that very protected class, seemingly above the law, protected by big tech, protected by mainstream media, literally protected by everyone, Ends up shooting up a Christian school, murdering six, three of whom were young nine-year-old kids.

00:20:03.000 It's crickets or excuses.

00:20:06.000 Or, in the case of Joe Biden, it's laughter.

00:20:10.000 Look at how he responded when a reporter asked if he'd agree with Senator Josh Hawley's demand to label this a hate crime.

00:20:19.000 Are you kidding me? 0.99

00:20:35.000 Are you insane? 1.00

00:20:37.000 Would Biden smile like that if a Muslim school was attacked? 0.98

00:20:42.000 The priority right now from Democrats, besides taking away Americans' rights to keep and bear arms, is protecting the so-called trans community.

00:20:52.000 Not children.

00:20:53.000 Not Christians. 1.00

00:20:55.000 Not God-fearing patriotic Americans who are under assault.

00:21:00.000 No, no, no. We gotta protect the shooter!

00:21:04.000 And when the news of the shooting broke, Biden, as usual, started talking about ice cream.

00:21:13.000 Sort of brings up the old Norm McDonnell joke.

00:21:16.000 You know, what really terrifies me is if ISIS were to detonate a nuclear device and kill 50 million Americans. 0.97

00:21:23.000 Imagine the backlash against peaceful Muslims. 0.94

00:21:26.000 I mean, that's basically what they're saying.

00:21:28.000 This has come to fruition.

00:21:30.000 Look at these headlines from ABC News.

00:21:34.000 Anti-trans sentiment follows Nashville shooting as some conservatives focus on the shooter's identity.

00:21:42.000 Oh really? Focus on the identity?

00:21:44.000 That's all the news does.

00:21:46.000 Again, if they focus on your identity, if you're part of the trans community, you're immune to anything.

00:21:52.000 Criticism. You're immune to accountability.

00:21:56.000 You're totally immune.

00:21:58.000 But the people who've been playing identity politics for the last few years all of a sudden are concerned about identity?

00:22:07.000 From NBC News, fear pervades Tennessee's trans community amid focus on Nashville shooters' gender identity.

00:22:16.000 Guess what, folks? They've been jamming gender identity down our throats for years. 1.00

00:22:20.000 They're indoctrinating with our children in their schools.

00:22:24.000 And now... Now they're focused.

00:22:27.000 We shouldn't really be talking about gender identity.

00:22:30.000 No, no, no. We shouldn't talk about any of the real causes for that.

00:22:34.000 We shouldn't talk about the violent rise of trans activists.

00:22:39.000 They actually quote a trans activist saying, we were already fearing for our lives.

00:22:43.000 Now it's even worse.

00:22:46.000 Yeah, because they're the victims in all of this, folks.

00:22:48.000 The shooter is the victim.

00:22:50.000 Let's pretend that's the case and not the six innocent Christians being mowed down.

00:22:59.000 Again, the crickets from corporate America is mind-boggling, given what we've seen when any one of their identity politics groups Is actually the victim of something.

00:23:14.000 And even USA Today was concerned about police, quote, misgendering the shooter.

00:23:24.000 Really? Like, that's what you're concerned about?

00:23:29.000 The hate crime that clearly happened. 0.60

00:23:32.000 Not the targeting of children deliberately by a deranged sociopath. 0.51

00:23:38.000 No, no, no. We're concerned about misgendering the shooter.

00:23:42.000 USA Today wrote in a tweet, quote,"...police on Monday afternoon said that the shooter was a transgender man.

00:23:52.000 Officials had initially misidentified the gender of the shooter." This is what I talked about last episode, folks, with Michael Seifert, the CEO of Public Square.

00:24:06.000 These people, they hate your guts.

00:24:09.000 Corporate America, their silence is deafening. 0.98

00:24:12.000 Imagine for a second, if you would, a conservative did this to a trans person.

00:24:18.000 Again, the outrage would be never-ending.

00:24:21.000 The amount of GoFundMes would be up there ad nauseum.

00:24:27.000 We'd be hearing about nothing but that.

00:24:30.000 But when? When you see it.

00:24:33.000 And when Christians and even Christian children are the victim, ah, we're not going to get involved.

00:24:38.000 That's not that important. They think you're less than human at this point.

00:24:42.000 They're saying it every day with their silence.

00:24:46.000 And so it's why it was so important.

00:24:48.000 That conversation on Monday was sort of amazing.

00:24:50.000 It went super viral.

00:24:51.000 I had like 1.3 million views with Michael Seifert because people are looking for an outlet.

00:24:57.000 Stop supporting woke corporate America.

00:25:00.000 Go check out publicsq.com.

00:25:03.000 Find companies that sign off to our patriotic values.

00:25:09.000 Give them your business.

00:25:10.000 Stop giving your hard-earned money to people that hate your guts.

00:25:16.000 I know that Americans have been looking for an alternative.

00:25:20.000 They've seen this.

00:25:21.000 This is just the latest example of countless examples where these people prove that they

00:25:29.000 hate your guts. They hate everything about you. So stop feeding that beast. Give your hard-earned

00:25:35.000 money to people who support you. I mean, it's almost mind-boggling.

00:25:41.000 So go check out publicsq.com and start supporting people who understand what we're

00:25:47.000 saying. Go check out that podcast. See for yourself because this example just keeps coming back and

00:25:53.000 back and every time they do it and yet we don't change our patterns. Mostly probably because we

00:25:57.000 never thought there was an alternative.

00:25:59.000 Like go to publicsq.com, find patriotic businesses. Stop giving your money to the people in woke

00:26:07.000 corporate, in the people in the mainstream media who are literally creating this problem

00:26:13.000 out of nothing, right?

00:26:16.000 They're the problem.

00:26:18.000 We have to support people who don't hate you.

00:26:23.000 That's about as simple as I get, folks.

00:26:25.000 That's the core of the problem here, folks.

00:26:28.000 Democrats, their media allies, they've convinced transgender people that they're actually facing some sort of genocide.

00:26:36.000 You're at risk from genocide.

00:26:37.000 And when they commit this crime, they're backing it up with the headlines we just read.

00:26:42.000 He was fearing for his life from genocide.

00:26:44.000 Let's just say it. No one gives a shit. 0.99

00:26:46.000 What we'd like is, we'd love you to stop jamming this crap down a three-year-old's throat and saying they should be able to chop off their genitals. 1.00

00:26:53.000 Because some teacher has been indoctrinating them. 1.00

00:26:56.000 Kim Klesik said it really well last week.

00:26:59.000 You notice that you don't have this transgender thing in the hood because they actually have real things to worry about? 0.94

00:27:07.000 Not the insanity that some woke parent is driving down their throats. 0.89

00:27:12.000 A trans kid in Hollywood right now is like a new pair of Gucci shoes. 1.00

00:27:17.000 It's the latest accessory.

00:27:20.000 Even though... They get honored as Women of the Year.

00:27:27.000 Biological men are facing some sort of genocide.

00:27:31.000 You can be a biological male.

00:27:33.000 You can win Women of the Year.

00:27:35.000 You can be highlighted on ESPN. Like I said, we spoke about earlier this week, even before we knew about this event, like Leah Thomas, the swimmer who destroyed...

00:27:46.000 Every incredible female athlete who, you know, a couple of months before that decided they weren't so good at being a male swimmer and became a trans. 1.00

00:27:54.000 They're honored by ESPN. But they're the victim?

00:27:58.000 They seem to have a level of privilege almost unparalleled in society today as far as I am concerned.

00:28:08.000 You can be trans and you can be woman of the year magically displacing millions of female athletes for that position. 1.00

00:28:17.000 You're going to have famous Hollywood celebrities like we saw a few weeks ago bowing down to Dylan Mulvaney, trans... 1.00

00:28:24.000 I mean, like, if we look back and we were like 10 years ago, like, the women of the feminist movement should be outraged. 0.58

00:28:33.000 But they too are silent because they're too afraid to take on the trans mafia and the privilege associated therewith. 0.99

00:28:41.000 Guys, they ain't the victim in this thing.

00:28:44.000 They aren't the victim.

00:28:46.000 They are put on a pedestal.

00:28:49.000 They are a class above everyone else.

00:28:51.000 And that's what they want.

00:28:56.000 Every major institution in this country is starting to accept that.

00:29:00.000 They're allowing them to do whatever they want.

00:29:03.000 And again, they can take away everything from women. 1.00

00:29:05.000 And if you're in the military, you're given special treatment.

00:29:08.000 If you're trans, you probably can become an admiral in about two minutes. 0.94

00:29:11.000 They're meant... Though, based on the media, like they're in a fight for their lives.

00:29:18.000 Trying to figure out how, or where, I'm trying to figure out how if my children Their last name, probably not all that easy for a lot of things like getting into college or whatever it is, understanding that they're fully blessed.

00:29:32.000 Their way to get ahead, and I'm sure no one else would game this system, would be to come out as trans! 1.00

00:29:37.000 Sure, no one's going to game the system and do this and take a scholarship or get into a better school.

00:29:42.000 No, no, no. The coddling and the enabling of all of this is having serious and deadly consequences.

00:29:50.000 Remember, it was only a couple years ago where this was deemed...

00:29:54.000 Like, something that would be considered insane.

00:29:58.000 It was deemed a mental health defect.

00:30:01.000 But that had to change because enough of them emerged.

00:30:06.000 And, you know, woke science, woke medicine had to disregard actual science and actual medicine to accommodate.

00:30:14.000 There seems to be this underlying concept in media that the shooter was driven to all of this.

00:30:20.000 They were driven to it as though there's some sort of justification for shooting up children, for shooting up Christians.

00:30:30.000 There's just never any real accountability from the violence that we see from the left.

00:30:34.000 Another example would be the incredible Summer of Love that we saw in the BLM riots of 2020. 0.80

00:30:40.000 No, no, no. It's different when it's for social justice. 0.88

00:30:43.000 If you don't affirm their identity, you deserve to die. 0.99

00:30:48.000 And they're being led to believe that this is true. 1.00

00:30:50.000 Not that you can accept them, but you don't want to jam down your throats.

00:30:55.000 That's not enough. That's why on Saturday, a radical group called the Trans Radical Activist Network is holding a Trans Day of Vengeance! 0.96

00:31:07.000 Are you serious?

00:31:09.000 Fueling more bizarre ideas about the victimhood that they're going through.

00:31:13.000 Imagine any other group in society held a day of vengeance?

00:31:21.000 Like, after they gunned down?

00:31:26.000 A group of innocent kids?

00:31:29.000 This is insane.

00:31:31.000 This is dangerous.

00:31:33.000 Guns are not the issue.

00:31:35.000 The coddling, coercion, and encouragement of this nonsense against children and normalizing gender affirmation surgeries, that's the problem, folks, that we give in to each and every one of these things.

00:31:50.000 That's the problem.

00:31:52.000 That they'll never be satisfied with you just accepting them doing what they want to do as adults.

00:31:57.000 No, no, no. You must capitulate.

00:31:59.000 You must accept every single piece of never-ending and always-changing drivel that comes out of their mouth or you're a racist. 0.99

00:32:10.000 You will be demonized and vilified and run down. 0.99

00:32:14.000 Through the ringer.

00:32:16.000 And not just by them, but by their lackeys in the mainstream media, by the pop culture of Hollywood, by big tech.

00:32:24.000 No one's talking about the pattern here.

00:32:27.000 The Colorado Springs shooter, identified as non-binary.

00:32:32.000 The Denver school shooter, identified as trans.

00:32:35.000 The Aberdeen shooter, identified as trans.

00:32:40.000 This shooter identifies as trans. 0.96

00:32:43.000 There's something rotten going on in this movement.

00:32:47.000 No other group per capita is committing more terrorism than the trans and nine binary. 1.00

00:32:54.000 According to the CDC, 0.6% of the adult population of our country identifies as trans.

00:33:01.000 0.6%. That's probably a stretch, too.

00:33:04.000 But you add in children and stuff like that, and it's probably less.

00:33:07.000 And yet, Everyone in America has to cater to an extreme minority.

00:33:13.000 We have to go 100% and blindly follow anything that they say.

00:33:21.000 We have at least some good breaking news.

00:33:23.000 Congressman Lance Gooden and Andy Nogles have sent a letter to Attorney General Merrick Garland requesting a hate crime investigation into the shooting.

00:33:34.000 The letter reads...

00:33:36.000 The shooter was a former student at Covenant School and specifically chose to terrorize this school because of their Christian faith.

00:33:45.000 It is appalling that you have not yet committed to opening a hate crime investigation despite the shooter's motive being clear as day.

00:33:56.000 Thank you, lawmakers.

00:33:57.000 They're actually calling for a hate crime investigation because it feels like the bar for a hate crime investigation would be rather low, given that the FBI and the DOJ themselves have called.

00:34:14.000 Concerned mothers at PTA meetings, domestic terrorists for simply wanting to know what's going into their kids' education.

00:34:23.000 Or these days in public schools in America and others, the indoctrination of our children. 1.00

00:34:28.000 You're a domestic terrorist if you don't want your children to be force-fed the woke bullshit we see coming out of these sociopaths every day. 0.99

00:34:38.000 But again, folks, remember, they're the victims. 1.00

00:34:40.000 You shouldn't be upset. You should feel bad for them.

00:34:44.000 Because they're a little afraid today that people may react to multiple non-binary and trans shooters shooting up places.

00:34:55.000 Again, we can't talk about the mental health of it.

00:34:57.000 We can't talk about the obvious insanity that we're seeing, because that's not PC or woke.

00:35:04.000 Guys, federal law is clear.

00:35:06.000 Acts of violence based on religious affirmation are hate crimes.

00:35:11.000 If a Christian did this to a Muslim school, what would happen?

00:35:17.000 You think it'd be out of the news cycle a couple days later, like this has basically been?

00:35:22.000 You think there'd be...

00:35:24.000 Victim-blaming? Like, this is this?

00:35:26.000 Do you think there'd be justification like we've seen?

00:35:29.000 Like, well, no, no, they were driven to this.

00:35:31.000 They were driven to this, so it's okay.

00:35:34.000 You know, we gotta make excuses or, you know, the trans mafia's gonna come after us and call us mean names.

00:35:40.000 So where is the FBI? I certainly hope we can hear from them sooner or later.

00:35:45.000 I mean, I know they're still busy investigating someone's grandmother who may have been within 1,500 miles of DC on January 6th because that's worse than Pearl Harbor and 9-11 combined in their magical, deranged, woke minds.

00:36:01.000 And I saw a few tweets that I thought really made the point well explaining how the extremists inside the trans left are violent, dangerous, and have made and been made to feel absolutely entitled. 0.75

00:36:18.000 We've seen it. Go look in the feeds.

00:36:20.000 Like, they don't even hide it anymore.

00:36:21.000 They're not even, like, pretending.

00:36:23.000 There's been a couple. There's been a couple that have gone out and been like, listen, if you're gonna commit an heinous act, at least remove your pronouns from your bio.

00:36:33.000 I've seen that tweet.

00:36:35.000 So, not don't do it.

00:36:37.000 It's okay to do it because, again, they've been made to feel entitled.

00:36:42.000 There's magical acts of genocide that literally no one else in the world can see happening in America against this community.

00:36:51.000 Therefore, it's okay.

00:36:53.000 So again, they're not saying don't commit the violence.

00:36:56.000 They're like, hey, if you're going to do it, take out your pronouns. 0.83

00:37:00.000 Scrub your social media profiles.

00:37:02.000 Don't give them the easy cannon fodder against the clear and developing trend of the violence.

00:37:11.000 Of the insanity coming from the radical factions of this movement.

00:37:16.000 So to these radicals, there is no middle ground, folks.

00:37:20.000 They demand your absolute subservience.

00:37:24.000 They can change their mind about anything at any given time.

00:37:27.000 They can step it up further, as they have, day in and day out.

00:37:31.000 What was acceptable a week ago is like, that's right-wing extremism.

00:37:37.000 If you try to stake out some sort of moderate position, nothing will ever be good enough.

00:37:43.000 And perhaps that's the problem, folks.

00:37:45.000 We've tried to accommodate.

00:37:46.000 I've been great on this issue as far as I'm concerned. 0.96

00:37:49.000 Clearly, I'm a radical right-wing lunatic to these people.

00:37:51.000 If you're an adult and you want to do something like this, It's fine. 0.94

00:37:56.000 I don't care. If you regret it later on, that's on you.

00:38:00.000 But, you know, because I don't want a three-year-old to be pushed into this decision and regret it later.

00:38:07.000 I am evil.

00:38:08.000 If you don't fully capitulate, you will be demonized. 0.88

00:38:12.000 You'll be vilified.

00:38:13.000 They will come after you.

00:38:15.000 They will end your social standing.

00:38:17.000 All of this coming from a group that the CDC says make up 0.6% of the population.

00:38:22.000 Remember, folks, they're the victims, and yet they seem to have all of the power.

00:38:27.000 A tiny minority of people in America, many of whom would have been diagnosed as mentally ill just a few years ago.

00:38:34.000 No, no, no. They're not mentally ill anymore, folks.

00:38:37.000 They're 100% in control.

00:38:40.000 You must bow to them.

00:38:44.000 Anytime someone on the right, right-leaning individual commits a horrific crime, the media, the left, immediately uses to smear all conservatives.

00:38:55.000 And yet, when there's a clear epidemic of trans-slash-nine-binary mass shooters, you know, again, a portion of the population so small that to have four of them in recent time seems rather significant. 0.92

00:39:10.000 Now, they will say, well, there were 200 mass shootings in America.

00:39:13.000 You know, some gang drive-by that hit two people.

00:39:16.000 That's in that statistic.

00:39:17.000 How many mass shootings do you see of children in In schools by a deranged sociopath with a manifesto.

00:39:29.000 So don't buy those statistics.

00:39:31.000 This is just a small group.

00:39:33.000 Look at the numbers.

00:39:34.000 Look at the stories.

00:39:35.000 Again, we hear about how, you know, the MAGA Republicans are the biggest threat to freedom and democracy ever. 0.99

00:39:42.000 They're sociopaths. 0.93

00:39:43.000 How many of them have shot up schools? 0.82

00:39:45.000 And that's probably, what, 50% of the American populace?

00:39:48.000 So.6 can have four in a year, but that's not a problem.

00:39:52.000 That's not a trend.

00:39:54.000 The media has an entirely different reaction.

00:39:57.000 Well guys, enough is enough.

00:39:59.000 We have to call this out.

00:40:02.000 We have to push our federal agencies to look into these acts of terrorism and to call them just that and if they don't, we have to vote them out of office.

00:40:12.000 And put enough societal pressure on them.

00:40:16.000 The other movement has weaponized societal pressure for decades.

00:40:20.000 And because we're good people, we go along with it.

00:40:23.000 Live and let live. Let them have their way.

00:40:26.000 But now that we've seen there is no end to the insanity, we have to push back.

00:40:32.000 Legally. With our words.

00:40:35.000 With our actions.

00:40:37.000 Calling them out.

00:40:40.000 We cannot allow them to have this advantage of total, total support from the press.

00:40:47.000 Total support from big tech and social media.

00:40:51.000 And if you post anything that's even remotely true or critical of that movement, you're going to be in trouble.

00:40:58.000 Virtual jail for the rest of your lives because that's where we are. 0.99

00:41:02.000 So guys, it's time to say enough is enough to the coddling of this shit. 1.00

00:41:07.000 Let's call it like it is. 0.99

00:41:09.000 Let's treat it like they would treat literally any other group, especially a conservative group out there.

00:41:15.000 Because if we don't, folks, this is just going to continue and we've seen the results.

00:41:20.000 It ain't good. No good is coming from this for America, for our children, for the next generation, and our enemies are watching and laughing their asses off as this happens in this incredible country.

00:41:34.000 So, to move on...

00:41:37.000 In our next story of government overreach, there's a new TikTok bill that looks like the Patriot Act in disguise.

00:41:45.000 Listen, I'm no fan of TikTok, guys.

00:41:47.000 I'm very clear about this.

00:41:49.000 TikTok is clearly a spying threat.

00:41:53.000 It is owned by China, and it's been used to surveil Americans and our children, and it will be weaponized in years to come. 0.93

00:42:00.000 The data that they have collected doesn't just get used in real time. 0.94

00:42:04.000 It'll get used when your 13-year-old did something stupid and 15 years, 20 years, 30 years from now, they're running for government office. 0.96

00:42:11.000 It will be weaponized against them. 1.00

00:42:13.000 But by the way, guys, leave it to Washington, D.C. and the scumbag bureaucrats in the swamp to make the political situation literally worse than the problem.

00:42:25.000 A bill to ban TikTok called the Restrict Act and supported by the likes of Mitt Romney and Democrat Warner, so you know it's going to be a disaster, would bring more censorship to the internet.

00:42:37.000 It calls for a 20-year prison sentence if you access a banned app.

00:42:44.000 Check out this clip from Tucker Carlson.

00:42:47.000 Think about that for a minute.

00:42:49.000 So you would be allowing the executive branch, the Biden administration, to regulate speech on the internet.

00:42:55.000 And if you are somehow involved with a, quote, foreign adversary, or let's say you oppose the war against Russia, you go to prison for 20 years.

00:43:05.000 So, this isn't about banning TikTok.

00:43:08.000 This is about introducing flat-out totalitarianism into our system.

00:43:13.000 Now, just because TikTok is so unappealing, just because it's a creepy, low-IQ Chinese plot designed to make your kids trans, and it is, That does not mean that the people trying to ban TikTok have your interests in mind. 0.99

00:43:26.000 Oh, it definitely doesn't. Or America's. 0.81

00:43:28.000 Keep in mind, these are exactly the same people who drained our Strategic Petroleum Reserve and, in fact, promote China at every turn. 0.98

00:43:35.000 Now they're telling you they're against China.

00:43:37.000 They're not. This is not an effort to push back against China.

00:43:41.000 It's part of a strategy to make America much more like China. 0.97

00:43:46.000 And by the way, the bill, the way it's written, could end up banning much more than TikTok.

00:43:53.000 The language is very broad.

00:43:55.000 And as always, it has bipartisan support.

00:43:58.000 Because that's the quickest way to tell if something coming out of D.C. is a disaster for you.

00:44:03.000 They can look at every keystroke you ever had.

00:44:06.000 They can weaponize it.

00:44:07.000 Because the government would never weaponize these things against you like they did...

00:44:11.000 To anyone who's been watching for the last six years, the IRS targeting the people who broke the Twitter stories, the FBI raiding people who may have been within the vicinity of Washington, D.C., banks handing over records to the government without any kind of pushback so that they could find these people.

00:44:28.000 None of that would happen to the people, again, who rioted, looted, burned arson during the summer of love.

00:44:33.000 But, you know, if you're a conservative, so nothing...

00:44:36.000 Nothing bad could possibly happen from this, folks.

00:44:38.000 So, while I'm no fan of TikTok, I'm also no fan of giving the government control over everything that we do and we have to watch out for this insanity because if this passes, you know, the notion...

00:44:52.000 The notion of privacy in anything that you do on your phone or probably anything else after that is over.

00:45:00.000 Now, it's probably over anyway.

00:45:01.000 I imagine they're listening to everything that we do say and otherwise talk about, as evidenced again by what we've seen over the last few years.

00:45:11.000 But, like, this would just get rid of even the pretense of having to do these things, in my opinion.

00:45:16.000 So we've got to push back.

00:45:18.000 Interesting news, folks.

00:45:21.000 Why does the U.S. still have troops in Syria?

00:45:26.000 Just about the main topic that the Uni Party in D.C. agrees on is war.

00:45:31.000 They always want it because that's their exit ramp. 0.97

00:45:33.000 That's how they get rich later on.

00:45:35.000 You can see that. Donald Trump, the man that was going to start World War III, is the only guy in D.C., the only politician that's been out there that's actually trying to end the endless wars.

00:45:45.000 Did you guys even know that we had troops in Syria or Somalia for that fact?

00:45:51.000 There are roughly 1,000 U.S. troops in Syria, and several were injured last week in a drone attack by an Iranian-linked militia.

00:46:01.000 An Iranian-linked militia who is the leading state sponsor of terror, a country that condones these things that we actually have still been going to for oil and gas because we can't drill on our own country, right? 0.91

00:46:15.000 One contractor was killed.

00:46:18.000 Who authorized this war?

00:46:20.000 Doesn't seem like it was Congress.

00:46:22.000 In Somalia, my father, President Trump, withdrew all of our 500 troops that were there.

00:46:28.000 Biden put them back in almost immediately.

00:46:31.000 Why exactly?

00:46:33.000 The problem with the forever wars like this is that we risk entering into a bigger conflict without the consent of the American people.

00:46:40.000 And again, that seems to be what our government wants.

00:46:44.000 That's their exit plan.

00:46:46.000 That's their retirement. That's how the swamp gets rich.

00:46:49.000 And it's actually one of the few things I think the American people actually agree on for the first time ever that no one actually wants.

00:46:57.000 Joe Kent is a U.S. Army veteran.

00:47:00.000 He served in the Special Forces and later with the CIA. His wife was tragically killed by ISIS while she was deployed there alongside Navy SEALs.

00:47:10.000 He is going to be our guest.

00:47:11.000 He's going to be talking about it.

00:47:13.000 And right before I go to Joe Kent, I just want to go out and talk and thank our sponsors.

00:47:18.000 So I want to take the time to thank them because it takes guts to support a show like this.

00:47:23.000 That's why I want to tell you about Gold Co., Diversification is more important than ever.

00:47:30.000 And gold and silver can protect your retirement savings from inflation and dollar devaluation.

00:47:35.000 Because I've been telling you guys, there are more and more economic warning signs, day in and day out, and I want you to be prepared.

00:47:44.000 I want you to be diversified.

00:47:45.000 I don't want you beholden to the lunatics that are making the decisions out there that we see today.

00:47:53.000 Don't assume because you think they're insane there that they're going to be making the decisions that are good for your retirement savings.

00:47:58.000 You saw Joe Biden use his first veto to make sure that we can't carve out ESG BS from being considered.

00:48:08.000 You know, they don't want just the best financial decision for your retirement.

00:48:12.000 We got to take into account the woke talking point, even if that's not the best outcome for you.

00:48:17.000 So owning tangible, physical, and inflation hedging gold and silver can help diversify your portfolio.

00:48:24.000 From precious metals, IRAs, to direct purchases of gold and silver, GoldCo has helped thousands of Americans diversify and protect their retirement savings.

00:48:33.000 So support companies who support you instead of supporting woke companies who hate your guts.

00:48:42.000 And that's it, guys. Just learn about it.

00:48:43.000 Read up on it. See if it works for you.

00:48:47.000 And if you're going to go that route, do it with a company like Goldco, who actually has the guts to support a show like this.

00:48:54.000 Clearly shares your values.

00:48:55.000 So go to DonJrGold.com.

00:49:00.000 Learn about it. See if it's right for you.

00:49:02.000 And maybe diversify your portfolio a bit.

00:49:04.000 Because, man, it feels like 2008 all over again.

00:49:07.000 And they're desperately trying to protect the Democrats and their radical, insane decisions.

00:49:12.000 But, uh... I think eventually, folks, these decisions, you have to come back and pay the piper.

00:49:18.000 So don't forget about that.

00:49:20.000 And don't forget about Patriot Mobile, America's only Christian conservative wireless provider.

00:49:27.000 Now, I understand, based on my opening, that that would make you a terrorist threat, according to the radical left.

00:49:32.000 But with Patriot Mobile, you can put America first with every call, all while getting the same nationwide coverage as the major carriers.

00:49:42.000 And only Patriot Mobile provides you dependable wireless service at an affordable price, but also share your values, and they actually support you.

00:49:52.000 Patriot Mobile puts their dollars in action, donating a portion of every dollar to support groups that fight for the First Amendment, the right to keep and bear arms, another one that's going to be under threat again, not because trans lunatics, but because the inanimate object of the gun is committing atrocities, right, magically, the sanctity of life and protecting our 0.69

00:50:14.000 brave police and first responders.

00:50:17.000 So support the companies who support you, who share your values.

00:51:07.000 I think you'll like it. Guys, we have with us a great Patriot, outspoken person of the MAGA movement.

00:51:19.000 Incredible soldier and, you know...

00:51:22.000 Unfortunately and terribly, Gold Star husband, Joe Kent. 0.98

00:51:26.000 Joe was a Green Beret, served our country, served in the CIA, probably has a good understanding of a lot of what's going on right now.

00:51:34.000 And, you know, Joe, before we get into, like, Syria and Somalia, which, you know, obviously...

00:51:39.000 You know, ring near and dear, seeing as your wife was killed in Syria, right?

00:51:43.000 I mean, it's strange for me.

00:51:46.000 I didn't even know we were in Syria.

00:51:48.000 And, like, I do this.

00:51:49.000 You know, so I want to get your thoughts on sort of, you know, how we've been conducting these sort of even shadow wars and, like, just perpetuating the never-ending wars, even when we think we're done with all of this stuff, as well as Ukraine. 0.64

00:52:00.000 But before, you know, I spent a lot of time in my opening monologue sort of talking about the mass...

00:52:06.000 Shooting in Nashville, and let's call it what it is, which is a domestic terrorist attack by a radicalized faction of our society.

00:52:14.000 In my opinion, that's been catered to and coddled like no other.

00:52:18.000 It was funny. I checked on the CDC. It's like, it's 0.6% of the population.

00:52:22.000 Well, if you looked at, like, what the radical trans movement, in terms of the power that they have, You know, to move social media and mainstream media and big tech, like, it's as though they're the most powerful group in our country, you know what I mean?

00:52:37.000 Tell me your thoughts on that.

00:52:38.000 What is your reaction to what you're seeing, you know, from that movement, from the left, the response, because, you know, as someone who served our country, died for this, faced real combat, like, the weaponization of these things to me is scary as hell.

00:52:53.000 Yeah, I mean, obviously it's incredibly tragic and horrible any time children are killed.

00:52:57.000 But then just to watch the media just absolutely bend over backwards, to make sure they got the guy's pronouns right, the guy, the girl, whatever it is, to make sure they got the pronouns right, that was a big issue.

00:53:06.000 You know, I mean, it just really shows how radical this movement is and how the capture they have of a certain segment of our society that holds a lot of power.

00:53:15.000 And I really think you're seeing radicalization, you're seeing the exact same things.

00:53:19.000 I mean, we're called domestic terrorists all the time.

00:53:21.000 Yeah, because I own guns, and therefore, I'm like, I've never killed anyone.

00:53:24.000 Like, this guy, whatever, biological female that goes by he, him, that person was like, well, they're the victim. 0.82

00:53:33.000 He was driven to this.

00:53:35.000 I'm like, wait a minute. It was driven to this.

00:53:37.000 Like, you know, if it was a MAGA guy, like, you know when these things happen, you know they're just like, please God.

00:53:43.000 They're not really praying to God, but they're praying to Satan or whoever these leftists actually worship.

00:53:48.000 Please Satan, let it be a guy in a MAGA hat.

00:53:51.000 And the second it isn't, Oh, it's out of the news.

00:53:55.000 We don't really want that outcome, so let's just bury this.

00:53:59.000 It's basically out of the news already.

00:54:01.000 I didn't see the FBI calling it a terror threat, a domestic terrorism, the DOJ. They'll call you that.

00:54:09.000 After serving your country, no believer, you're losing your wife to ISIS, to actual terrorism.

00:54:17.000 How do you deal with that?

00:54:18.000 I mean, obviously it's incredibly frustrating, but for me it's just looking at all these different indicators of this is a radicalized terrorist group, and yet at the same time we still have the corporate media and so much of our society that is either too scared to actually address that, Or they're going along with it.

00:54:34.000 I think there's a huge component here too.

00:54:36.000 We've been told that, especially in my state, in Washington State, we're told that these kids that are going through some sort of an identity crisis, they need gender-affirming care.

00:54:43.000 They need to be given these pharmaceutical drugs to alter their composition.

00:54:48.000 Or they need the surgery. We're told they absolutely need that.

00:54:51.000 And then when something like this happens, we can't even say, like, so how much testosterone was actually in her body? 0.93

00:54:57.000 What chemical concoction was taking place that was, you know, pushed into her by the pharmaceutical industry?

00:55:01.000 Like, we can't even ask those questions.

00:55:03.000 It's automatically like, just be quiet.

00:55:05.000 You can't talk about this. Let's blame the guns.

00:55:07.000 Yeah, no, the inanimate object.

00:55:08.000 I mean, you know, I have dozens of guns.

00:55:10.000 And it's like, not one of them has ever, you know, discharged on its own.

00:55:14.000 It's almost shocking.

00:55:16.000 And... The fact that you can't even ask the question is like, hey, could this be a problem?

00:55:21.000 Meaning, our medical institutions, up until a few years ago, called what we're seeing now as totally normal.

00:55:28.000 They called it a mental illness.

00:55:30.000 Now, you know, woke culture...

00:55:32.000 Made us go away from that.

00:55:34.000 We can't do it. That doesn't mean it isn't actually so.

00:55:36.000 Just like everything we were told about COVID that went against common sense.

00:55:42.000 Everything that we were told about the vaccine that went against common sense or that went against the actual statistics that we were seeing manifest in real time.

00:55:50.000 You know, there's science and then there's like what's socially acceptable science by the media today and that's the difference.

00:55:58.000 So yeah, the fact that you can't even ask the question like, you know, jacking up a woman with all sorts of testosterone. 0.97

00:56:04.000 Because women don't normally go out and kill people. 1.00

00:56:07.000 I mean, this is by and large, if you're going to profile, this is by and large something that men do.

00:56:12.000 I mean, this is not natural for a woman to do. 1.00

00:56:14.000 Correct. It was one of few, and it was like, that was the interesting part.

00:56:18.000 I kind of crapped on the New York Times, because they were like, well, she, I was like, wait, wait, wait, wait.

00:56:24.000 Well, I mean, they're, wait, no, so now that it's just a mass thing and you can make it unique, now it's she.

00:56:29.000 If I called her she, I'm a terrible human being.

00:56:33.000 I'm a demon for not acknowledging their pronouns so that they can arbitrarily kind of flip-flop back and forth. 0.77

00:56:39.000 Yeah, and then they had to go back.

00:56:40.000 I think it was New York Times that actually went back and was like, well, actually, identified as.

00:56:44.000 They had to go back and go back. Yeah, because they're making it up as they go.

00:56:47.000 You know what I mean? It's like, well, I don't know.

00:56:50.000 And that sort of was the point of my monologue.

00:56:52.000 I'm actually... Let's call it progressive on the issue.

00:56:57.000 If you're 25 and you want to... 1.00

00:56:58.000 I don't give a shit. If you regret it, that's on you. 1.00

00:57:01.000 You made that decision, that's fine.

00:57:03.000 When they're jamming it down our three-year-olds' throats, it's a whole different thing.

00:57:07.000 And if we don't think that kids are impressionable...

00:57:11.000 And that's probably part of the plan, which makes it more evil to me, right?

00:57:14.000 Like, I mean, at this point, like, I don't care.

00:57:16.000 I'm gonna get criticized. And I know trans people.

00:57:19.000 I'm friendly with, you know, with some.

00:57:22.000 And, again, when you do it as an adult and that's fine, they're actually, you know, pretty, you know, jamming these kids down our throats, doing it this way in a manner that wants to carve out parents from the decision-making process that thinks that's terrible to allow some, you know, rainbow-haired freak teacher do this to be able—doctors administer it without consent. 0.83

00:57:40.000 Like, There's no other word for it than evil at this point.

00:57:43.000 And I think we just actually have to say that.

00:57:45.000 Yeah. It's absolutely evil.

00:57:46.000 I mean, these are, I think, really big, scary, dark forces that are at work in our society for a wide variety of reasons.

00:57:52.000 And we actually have to take action to stop that.

00:57:54.000 And I think that the most clear-cut thing that we can do is actually defend our children, not just, like, say, hey...

00:58:00.000 Wait, what? That's so radical.

00:58:02.000 That's so radical, Joe.

00:58:04.000 Treat our kids maybe like we treat a bank or something, like, and put an armed guard outside the school.

00:58:08.000 That's what's crazy about this whole story.

00:58:11.000 The thing that's left out is it's known that the shooter targeted the school because it was a soft target.

00:58:18.000 They had two other options.

00:58:20.000 Well, that one had armed guards.

00:58:24.000 A, clearly that decision-making process drives it much further into the hate crime territory, which it obviously was anyway.

00:58:30.000 It's Christian kids. 0.99

00:58:33.000 I think someone said something like, you go after our kids, we'll kill your kids. 1.00

00:58:38.000 Kind of a big deal. And it's weird that we haven't seen the manifesto. 0.99

00:58:41.000 These things usually get released, but I have a feeling that what's in the manifesto probably only shows it was more radical.

00:58:46.000 I then see people on the left be like...

00:58:48.000 If you're going to do and commit a heinous act of crime, scrub your social media.

00:58:53.000 I'm like, wait, wait, wait. You're not saying don't do it.

00:58:56.000 And that's the point. They feel emboldened and empowered to even do this.

00:58:59.000 They don't even think it's wrong.

00:59:02.000 And they're saying it out loud in public.

00:59:05.000 And they feel they can go to their job and not face any consequence.

00:59:08.000 They can live in polite society.

00:59:10.000 They're saying these things like, wait, you want them to scrub their pronouns so as not to put more pressure on the trans community?

00:59:18.000 You're the victim? It's okay?

00:59:21.000 Just don't put more pressure on this deranged...

00:59:26.000 That's... It's absolutely insanity. 0.91

00:59:29.000 Literally, it's the exact same thing that terrorists do overseas.

00:59:32.000 We just have been lucky we haven't seen that much of it here in America, but now you have this group that really, really believes in this ideology, and they will take any action necessary to further their agenda.

00:59:42.000 Well, I'll take it a step further.

00:59:44.000 And again, I'm sure it's happened and they've done terrible things to children, but you don't see a flagrant targeting of children nearly as much as just...

00:59:53.000 This was a targeting of nine-year-olds.

00:59:56.000 There were other victims in the way that were terrible, but a targeting of Christians, yes, you certainly see that, but like...

01:00:03.000 Even some of the most sociopathic terrorists in the country don't be like, okay, we're just gonna go target the children.

01:00:08.000 Like, you know what I mean? They're going after the people that could perhaps be...

01:00:11.000 Like, that's what...

01:00:12.000 Again, it's all deranged, but it makes it even a little bit...

01:00:15.000 Yeah. They're going to new levels of evil, for sure.

01:00:19.000 So what do you... You understand how this works.

01:00:21.000 You've dealt with actual terrorists.

01:00:23.000 Yeah. How do you stop this?

01:00:25.000 Well, first and foremost, you put armed guards outside the schools.

01:00:28.000 This shouldn't be that hard. I mean, in pretty much every study you look at of active shooter scenarios, the second the shooter is confronted by a threat, they either surrender, kill themselves, or they're gunned down.

01:00:38.000 And so for us to not actually put armed guards outside of our schools—and look, I'm a big states' rights guy.

01:00:43.000 I don't want the federal government to try and solve every single problem.

01:00:45.000 Although, Washington, I'm like, I don't know.

01:00:47.000 But at this point, like, hey, if we have federal air marshals, why don't we have federal school marshals?

01:00:51.000 We just hired 87,000 IRS agents, right?

01:00:53.000 We just sent $120 billion to Ukraine.

01:00:55.000 Yeah, by the way, with that money, you could put, I think it's like the statistics were like, you could put three armed, like, well-trained and armed guards in these schools.

01:01:02.000 That's before perhaps even training teachers or arming, you know, again, there's plenty of teachers that I don't know that I'd want defending my children because they have no business...

01:01:10.000 Meaning they wouldn't put in the effort to learn how to handle a gun.

01:01:13.000 I think it's great if they want to protect themselves or whatever, but I do think they'd need some sort of level of training before I'd want a gun in a classroom with kids.

01:01:19.000 But there's plenty of teachers that would be totally capable of that.

01:01:22.000 There'd be plenty of teachers that would want to do that and would go for the training.

01:01:26.000 And if we took the money we're wasting on corrupt regimes in Ukraine, we could easily do that.

01:01:34.000 Yeah, or ended a war in Syria or Somali.

01:01:36.000 I mean, we have the resources to do this, and really, governments and societies, they prioritize what's important to them, and if you just take a broader look, it's like, we are not putting any prioritization whatsoever on defending our most vulnerable, and I think that that's just absolutely sick and wrong.

01:01:49.000 Well, again, if it was a Muslim school, I think you'd see, well, we should protect that community.

01:01:54.000 Not any kids, right?

01:01:57.000 It's almost like, well, it's Christian. 0.83

01:01:59.000 It's like, that's just...

01:02:00.000 They're looked at like the dregs of society.

01:02:04.000 And that's where we are.

01:02:06.000 And I don't say that lightly.

01:02:07.000 I say that like... I guess I'm doing this stuff for a reason.

01:02:11.000 It was a lot easier to be a real estate developer from New York. 0.99

01:02:14.000 But it's like, holy shit, we have to leave our kids a country that they recognize. 0.99

01:02:20.000 And right now... 0.99

01:02:21.000 It's not it. You served your country.

01:02:26.000 You lost your wife to terrorism.

01:02:28.000 You did all this. What's driving you to continue in this fight?

01:02:33.000 Especially just understanding that, guys, Joe's Washington State.

01:02:36.000 This is... It's a tough fight.

01:02:39.000 It's a tough fight in the sense that, listen, there's incredible people.

01:02:41.000 I know people in the mountainside and they're sort of off of the coast that are just salt of the earth, great patriotic Americans.

01:02:49.000 I imagine those are the people that are voting for you.

01:02:51.000 But it's so counterbalanced by the insanity.

01:02:55.000 I mean, between Seattle and this, I mean, it's leading the charge of some of that.

01:03:01.000 What motivates you to keep doing this, especially understanding how stacked...

01:03:07.000 That is against you. Yeah, for me, I mean, I always wanted to serve.

01:03:10.000 My country grew up very patriotic, enlisted in the Army, did 20 years, 11 combat deployments, because I really believed in fighting for the nation.

01:03:16.000 If someone's going to go and put their lives on the line, I felt that I should be one of those people.

01:03:19.000 So did my late wife. But really, just what's happened, I think, in the last couple years, the way that we've been losing our country, the way that our ruling class, I mean, your dad hit the nail on the head when he first started running for president, our ruling class has forgotten about the American people.

01:03:33.000 I mean, from the endless wars overseas, to shipping and manufacturing overseas, And those are the bigger picture things.

01:03:38.000 But now we're just seeing this absolute evil ideology take over every single aspect of our country, targeting Christians, sexualizing our children.

01:03:46.000 And, you know, I'm just not going to sit there and let my country get taken down the tubes.

01:03:50.000 Because really, at the end of the day, my kids are five and they're seven now.

01:03:53.000 They were one in three when their mom was killed.

01:03:55.000 And I'm going to have to explain to them, She gave her life for this country, and because it was worth it, because this country is worth fighting and dying for.

01:04:01.000 And if we keep going in the direction we're going right now, I'm afraid they won't believe me.

01:04:04.000 Like, that's one of the biggest fears that I have.

01:04:06.000 So it's like I have to fight, at least in the country I grew up in.

01:04:09.000 Yeah, it's sort of like, you know, the older I get, the better I was, right?

01:04:11.000 We're looking back on a country that doesn't seem to exist anymore.

01:04:14.000 And I guess we're still fighting to preserve that.

01:04:16.000 But that's why we also need...

01:04:19.000 Real fighters. It's why we need people who are willing, you know, to step up.

01:04:23.000 I mean, I've heard the story.

01:04:25.000 I mean, tell me how, if you don't mind, how you sort of first got into even the idea of this.

01:04:30.000 I think it was actually meeting my father.

01:04:33.000 Yeah, it really was. In really shitty circumstances.

01:04:36.000 Yeah, so Shannon, my late wife, she was killed in Syria a month after President Trump ordered our troops to withdraw.

01:04:43.000 And he did that for a very specific reason, because we had defeated all the ground that ISIS held, and that was what he ran on.

01:04:49.000 That was the mandate the American people gave him, and so President Trump did something, I think, very unique, whereas you have all these different politicians who they run on this, and they run on that, and then when push comes to shove, they just go to the status quo.

01:05:00.000 They tell you what you want to hear, and then, ah, we don't really want to do that.

01:05:03.000 We're not going to do that. We're going to be tough on China, but my donor wants a widget a little bit cheaper.

01:05:07.000 Let's not be that tough.

01:05:09.000 We're not really going to end the wars. Obama talked about ending the wars.

01:05:11.000 But anyways, we took out all the ground that ISIS controlled in December of 2018, and that's when President Trump famously said, let's get our troops out of there.

01:05:20.000 Secretary of Defense Mattis, a bunch of other elected bureaucrats, actively worked against President Trump.

01:05:24.000 Now, I had just finished out my 20-year career in the Army and Special Forces, switched over to the CIA, and my last couple years in the Trump administration, it was a night and day difference from the Obama administration.

01:05:36.000 There was real threats out there.

01:05:37.000 President Trump enabled us to go out and actually crush the enemy.

01:05:40.000 But at the same time, we had these unelected bureaucrats who had no qualms about bad-mouthing the commander-in-chief, which I had never seen before.

01:05:47.000 Or slow playing the order.

01:05:48.000 We don't really have to listen to that.

01:05:50.000 If we can wait it out...

01:05:51.000 We're not going to listen to those guys. And I hear that a lot.

01:05:53.000 I hear it from my friends in the teams.

01:05:55.000 They're like... I was like, well, how'd you take out the caliphate?

01:05:58.000 Just let us do what we did best.

01:06:00.000 We didn't have to phone in.

01:06:01.000 We have a high-value target, one of the playing cards.

01:06:04.000 We got them in our sights. You just had the authority to go, as opposed to waiting with a 12-hour time difference and calling some bureaucrats sitting in a nice air-conditioned office in D.C. He's at home at 5 o'clock for dinner with his kids, and you've got to wait.

01:06:17.000 And then something changes in the scenario, you can no longer go in.

01:06:19.000 I mean, I hear that over and over again.

01:06:21.000 The solution was actually...

01:06:23.000 So simple. If the average American understood how obvious it was and how flagrantly that obvious solution is just totally disregarded by military brass and the bureaucrats, you'd be disgusted.

01:06:38.000 My experience in the war on terror, I really eventually learned that the goal was not for us to actually win or accomplish our mission.

01:06:45.000 It was just to stay there.

01:06:46.000 And we're seeing that play out right now.

01:06:48.000 After President Trump gave the order to get our troops out, that's what it is.

01:06:50.000 Follow the money. Follow the money.

01:06:52.000 I mean, we had all these bureaucrats turn against Trump, and then a month later, my wife and three other Americans were killed by a suicide bomber in Manbij, Syria, a place where we had no business being, you know?

01:07:00.000 There's still bad people there.

01:07:02.000 Yeah, but there's no strategic, there's no, like, nothing.

01:07:05.000 There's none, exactly. And so, obviously, I was furious.

01:07:09.000 I was actually overseas as well on an assignment.

01:07:11.000 I flew back. My first day back in America was at Dover, where I was waiting to receive my late wife's body.

01:07:18.000 And some aide or whoever came by and they said, the President's going to be here and he'll meet with the families of the Fall and Thick Lake.

01:07:23.000 And I said, yeah, I'd love to meet President Trump.

01:07:26.000 I was an early on Trump supporter.

01:07:27.000 The second that he went after Jeb Bush on the debate stage, I was like, somehow the guy from The Apprentice understands foreign policy better than any of these guys.

01:07:36.000 So I'm all in.

01:07:37.000 So I just really wanted the opportunity.

01:07:39.000 I figured that I wasn't going to actually get to meet President Trump.

01:07:42.000 I thought I'd get to shake his hand and there'd be a bunch of handlers there.

01:07:45.000 But I ended up in a room kind of like this.

01:07:47.000 It was just me and President Trump for about 10 minutes.

01:07:49.000 And he was very gracious, very compassionate, the side of President Trump the media never lets you see, you know, because he's your father.

01:07:57.000 Part of that, I'll say, is his fault.

01:07:59.000 Because I'm like, he actually has that side, but he doesn't like the show.

01:08:02.000 He perceives it. It's like the old-school mentality of, like, it's, you know, that's weakness.

01:08:06.000 I can't then go deal with Xi or Kim Jong-un or whoever it is.

01:08:11.000 And I'm like, that may be his only, like...

01:08:14.000 Political liability. It's like he has that thing that some people want to see at certain times.

01:08:18.000 He does it, but unlike every other politician in the world, he won't even, I don't want to say capitalize, I guess it sounds terrible, but that's the reality.

01:08:26.000 And he doesn't want to ever show that side.

01:08:29.000 Yeah, yeah. But he was very compassionate, and I tell people that, and they look at me shocked.

01:08:34.000 He's a human being.

01:08:36.000 The guy wasn't a politician for very long.

01:08:37.000 Who are you and what have you done with President Trump?

01:08:40.000 Yeah, exactly. But I had the opportunity.

01:08:41.000 I just said, hey, Mr. President, I don't know if you know who I am.

01:08:43.000 I had my hair kind of down to my shoulders at the time.

01:08:46.000 Well, you were in the CIA, right? I've been fighting these wars for as long as they've been going on, and your gut instincts, you're getting it right, but you're being undermined in a way that I've just never seen before.

01:08:56.000 And I think he knew that at that point because he had just hired Secretary of Defense Mattis and all that.

01:09:00.000 And so I thought, hey, I got it off my chest.

01:09:02.000 I resigned from the agency to focus on my kids.

01:09:05.000 But I got a call a little bit later on from one of Trump's national security folks and said, hey, we don't really know what you told the president, but he liked it.

01:09:12.000 Will you come back out to D.C. and chat with us?

01:09:14.000 And so I did some, I'd say, unofficial advisory work, national security, Middle East type of stuff.

01:09:19.000 And then the 2020 campaign was kicking off, and so I helped out as much as I possibly could with Veterans for Trump, Military Families for Trump, just to really try and articulate how common sense, but actually just strategically genius, President Trump's foreign policy was.

01:09:32.000 Yeah. Listen, it actually...

01:09:35.000 You know, he dealt with a lot of stuff, obviously, as president, and, like, I don't even...

01:09:38.000 I didn't even bother him most of the time, because if I, you know, if I even showed up at the White House, there's...

01:09:42.000 Well, were you discussing business?

01:09:44.000 It's like, well, I don't know. Hunter's making billions.

01:09:45.000 It's fine. Like, I was like, no, but, like...

01:09:47.000 But he actually sort of...

01:09:49.000 He brought up the story. You know, he made a pretty...

01:09:52.000 Real concerted effort to go there for whenever those kinds of incidences happen.

01:09:56.000 I mean, I know he left a primary kickoff event in New Hampshire.

01:10:00.000 He's like, I just gotta go. I gotta cut my speech short.

01:10:01.000 There's 13,000 people waiting for him to speak.

01:10:03.000 He's like, I gotta get back.

01:10:05.000 And it was a different event.

01:10:07.000 This was later. He always went there.

01:10:10.000 But I remember him telling me the story.

01:10:12.000 He's like, I met this guy. It was like typecasting.

01:10:17.000 But we need Americans like this to talk about what's really going on.

01:10:19.000 And he was like, this guy's gotta run for office.

01:10:22.000 And he was talking about you. I didn't even put two and two together in a while, but then I saw you guys, and I was like, oh my god, that was the story.

01:10:29.000 Because it was unusual. He's got so much going on.

01:10:31.000 I didn't even want to...

01:10:32.000 He's not a small talk kind of guy, usually.

01:10:35.000 Even with us.

01:10:36.000 And so it was unique that he told that story, but you made a real impression on him on what was really going on, and what was not just going on in the war, but what could be done and what's being undermined.

01:10:46.000 That's what's, I think, scary for so many people.

01:10:48.000 I don't think the average American understands just how easy it is for the machine to sort of just decide what's going to happen. 0.99

01:10:55.000 The most powerful man in the world, that's bullshit. 0.99

01:10:58.000 There's so many, 90 levels. 1.00

01:11:00.000 Well, we'll just slow play it.

01:11:01.000 Trump will be gone, and whether it's four years or eight years or whatever, he'll be out, and we still need to be making money from the machine and getting our board seat at Raytheon, and we're not going to do that if we're not selling missiles to the bad guys, the good guys, to everyone.

01:11:17.000 Take that further, because you've probably seen it more than anyone, just the bad decisions that are made because that's the retirement plan of that individual.

01:11:25.000 So they're making decisions purely, you know, they're serving their country, but it's like they're not.

01:11:31.000 They're actually doing a major disservice to our country by prolonging the stuff because that's their exit ramp.

01:11:35.000 You know, I think a lot of it creeps in slowly.

01:11:38.000 I mean, if you spend 20 plus years in the military and you're continuing to get promoted based on these wars going on, especially post 9-11, the last thing you're going to do is say, hey, we should kill off this vehicle that has allowed me to be promoted and to continue to apply my trade.

01:11:52.000 A lot of times that just gets very, very blurred with what's actually best for the country.

01:11:56.000 And again, that's back to what really, I think, resonated with so many warfighters with President Trump was he was just like, hey, what did we actually get out of this?

01:12:03.000 Like, we invaded Iraq.

01:12:05.000 We're still in Afghanistan. What are we actually getting here?

01:12:08.000 And I think that's the most common sense question that we always should ask ourselves.

01:12:11.000 But yeah, I mean, you're absolutely right.

01:12:13.000 And we're really seeing this play out right now in a horrible way with the war in Ukraine, with continuing to keep our troops in Syria.

01:12:19.000 I mean, there's so many cash cows.

01:12:21.000 Iraq's a massive cash cow. 0.97

01:12:22.000 They're the ones that are basically controlled by Iran.

01:12:24.000 We handed the whole government over to Iran really, really early on in the fight. 0.93

01:12:28.000 And now we are funding the Iraqi government, who is funding the Iranian militias who are killing Americans. 0.59

01:12:35.000 And the thing is, you want to talk about a big lie.

01:12:38.000 I say this all the time. Nobody wants to say, you know what, we're getting screwed here in Iraq. 0.89

01:12:41.000 That's our biggest embassy we have.

01:12:43.000 The embassy that we have in Iraq is this massive college campus on the banks of the Tigris that gets rocketed every now and again by our so-called allies.

01:12:50.000 Minor details. Minor details.

01:12:52.000 Let's keep giving them missiles. What could go wrong?

01:12:53.000 Exactly. Let's give them tanks. 1.00

01:12:54.000 I mean, I was over there when we gave them tanks, and then we were afraid they were going to use the tanks against the embassy.

01:12:58.000 And it was just like, this whole thing is one big self-licking ice cream cone because nobody wants to mess with, hey, we're going to continue to give these different governments aid.

01:13:06.000 And then we're potentially going to provide war fighters into these locations.

01:13:10.000 And really, that just continues to keep the machinery oiled.

01:13:13.000 And if you speak out against that, they will turn against you.

01:13:16.000 In this current state, they'll call you a Putin supporter.

01:13:19.000 Yeah, you're a Russia apologist for being like, you mean we're going to give $130 billion to a country rated more corrupt than Russia itself?

01:13:26.000 No accounting of where the weapons are going.

01:13:29.000 I saw that. Maybe the best example of it, to your point about Iran, was I saw that when they bombed Soleimani. 0.93

01:13:36.000 In Iraq, plotting to take over our embassy, a guy that literally designed the IED programs, the improvised explosive device programs, for Iran, used probably in Afghanistan, but certainly in Iraq, against our troops.

01:13:52.000 That's as bad as it gets as an outside actor, and we put a hellfire missile through his car, and like...

01:14:00.000 There was outrage from the army.

01:14:03.000 I'm like, wait a minute. This guy's been killing American soldiers de facto.

01:14:07.000 He designed the weapons that are doing it.

01:14:09.000 He's supplying them to the enemies or installing them himself in the sense that having teams of people do this.

01:14:15.000 Killing and maiming thousands of Americans. 0.97

01:14:20.000 Beyond even the psychological trauma of not knowing if every step you take is going to be your last. 0.97

01:14:26.000 And it's like, you're upset that we did this?

01:14:29.000 Like, well, you're invading...

01:14:31.000 I'm like, I don't know, man!

01:14:33.000 But a couple months before, they wanted President Trump to go to war with Iran itself because a drone got shot down.

01:14:40.000 So it's always like, what's going to give us the biggest bang for our buck?

01:14:43.000 If you get too surgical and you fight too smart, they get really mad at you. 0.94

01:14:47.000 So President Trump was like, hey, if you kill an American, we will hit you back where it is. 0.70

01:14:50.000 Yeah, because the cost of one Hellfire missile...

01:14:52.000 It's not nearly enough for the retirement programs of hundreds of deep state generals.

01:14:59.000 We've got to go full war. 0.68

01:15:01.000 Don't just take out the bad guy and take out their capabilities of continuing these things and reverse the mentality.

01:15:10.000 I don't want to be walking around.

01:15:12.000 My father told me the story about Because he was at Camp David, and when the Taliban was strangely quiet for a while after this and not doing anything, it's because he literally goes up to the Taliban later and be like, here's a picture of your house.

01:15:25.000 It's like, well, why are you showing me a picture of your house?

01:15:27.000 He's like, I think you understand.

01:15:30.000 Like, I don't have to explain further.

01:15:32.000 We're just like, we have a picture of your house.

01:15:34.000 Like, my dad's telling me this.

01:15:35.000 I'm like, that's, like, amazing.

01:15:37.000 And so, consequently, for, you know, two years after that, not a single U.S. soldier killed by that, because they're like, you know what?

01:15:43.000 Yeah, exactly. I like my house.

01:15:45.000 I don't need a missile coming through our house.

01:15:48.000 But again, the notion of full-scale, we're going to be in Ukraine until it ends. 0.53

01:15:54.000 Maneuver warfare, all this nonsense.

01:15:56.000 The funny thing is, you really see this play out, obviously, in the Trump administration, but even under the Biden administration.

01:16:02.000 We killed Ayman Zawahiri, the number two in Al-Qaeda, the guy that actually was responsible for planning some of 9-11.

01:16:09.000 After we had no presence whatsoever in Afghanistan, through intelligence means, we were able to track that guy down and kill him with a hellfire, and the Biden administration took zero victory laps.

01:16:19.000 The military-industrial complex, zero victory laps.

01:16:21.000 All you hear from them is, we need to get back into Afghanistan. 0.98

01:16:23.000 You're like, well, what do we need to go back to Afghanistan for?

01:16:25.000 If the mission was counterterrorism, we just killed this guy without an embassy without a massive military footprint there.

01:16:30.000 Don't you think you should be taking a victory lap on that?

01:16:32.000 Well, yeah, I mean, 20 years we withdraw, and there's no victory lap for anything we actually accomplished.

01:16:36.000 No. And that's what's terrible about it for me.

01:16:42.000 The withdrawal itself.

01:16:44.000 I mean, talk about it because you've been in these parts of the world.

01:16:47.000 The withdrawal, I'm watching.

01:16:50.000 We're shocked and dismayed.

01:16:52.000 Remember this one? That the Taliban didn't install a more diverse and inclusive government.

01:16:58.000 I mean, this was our Secretary of State.

01:17:00.000 You're worried about installing a diverse...

01:17:02.000 You've been fighting the Taliban for 20 years. 0.99

01:17:04.000 You think they give a fuck about a diverse and inclusive... 0.94

01:17:07.000 What have you been... 0.99

01:17:10.000 You're not a serious person.

01:17:11.000 Spoiler alert. Yeah. Millie, you know, getting up there like, we couldn't see this coming.

01:17:16.000 I'm like, listen. And again, I've not served.

01:17:19.000 I'll be very clear about this.

01:17:20.000 But like, I saw it coming.

01:17:22.000 Like, you don't have to, like, that's not a stretch.

01:17:25.000 I tell the story. I think it was, I think it was my son Spencer.

01:17:29.000 He's nine. I think at the time.

01:17:32.000 Maybe at eight when the withdrawal happened.

01:17:34.000 I think he was nine. And I picked him up from school and he just goes like, Hey dad, why did we pull out our military before...

01:17:47.000 Before the civilians.

01:17:49.000 He's a nine-year-old kid.

01:17:51.000 I was picking him up from school.

01:17:52.000 We're going to go do father-son dinner.

01:17:54.000 Maybe a little fishing at one of our golf courses.

01:17:56.000 And he's asking me these real questions.

01:17:58.000 And I'm like, oh my God.

01:17:59.000 It's clear as day to a nine-year-old.

01:18:01.000 Dad, why did we leave $86 billion in equipment to the Taliban? 0.56

01:18:07.000 Aren't they terrorists, Dad?

01:18:09.000 And I'm like... He looked at me like I was stupid because I couldn't give him an answer other than because these people are idiots. 1.00

01:18:18.000 He didn't use the word biometric, but this one was the one that got me. 1.00

01:18:24.000 They gave him the machines that can tell you who the person is.

01:18:28.000 He goes, why would we give our enemy a way for them to be able to tell who helped us for 20 years against them? 1.00

01:18:36.000 I go, Oh my God, we're being led by imbeciles. 1.00

01:18:40.000 Yeah. Imbeciles. And there's literally no other conclusion. 1.00

01:18:43.000 Yeah. You couldn't see it coming.

01:18:45.000 Anyone I know that served there saw it coming.

01:18:47.000 It was clear as day. They needed to accelerate the timeline to the summer when they're fighting, not the winter when they're hiding in caves, just to be able to be like, we did it faster than Trump, because I'm no advocate for the endless wars.

01:18:59.000 Right. But there's a way to do it that doesn't just like...

01:19:01.000 You don't just hand the whole thing out.

01:19:03.000 You don't kill 13 soldiers.

01:19:06.000 The guys that couldn't see it coming, after 20 years in theater, within six hours were like, we got the guys that did it!

01:19:14.000 You could get the ISIS or whoever it was, Taliban terrorists, That killed 13 soldiers in like six hours.

01:19:23.000 Yeah, we got them with a missile strike. Wait, you had the intelligence capabilities of doing that, but you didn't see it coming?

01:19:28.000 Yeah. After 20 years?

01:19:30.000 I'm like, so I was like, I was like, I'm going to go out there and call bullshit. 0.98

01:19:33.000 And that's risky. You know, I've done this a couple times and it's worked out pretty well. 0.91

01:19:36.000 Like Jesse Smollett, I was like, I'm calling bullshit. 0.95

01:19:39.000 You know what I mean? And they're like, oh, you're a terrorist. 1.00

01:19:41.000 I was like, I don't know, man.

01:19:42.000 It just, it sounds like, you know, just...

01:19:45.000 The fact pattern doesn't make any sense, and we're not allowed to do that.

01:19:48.000 We must just believe the gospel. 0.98

01:19:50.000 So it's like, I'm calling bullshit. 0.99

01:19:51.000 And they're like, oh yeah, we drowned a family going to a barbecue. 0.99

01:19:54.000 Like, you know, with the spinning blade missile that just decapitates anyone within us.

01:20:01.000 I'm like, yeah, because of course the people that didn't see the whole thing coming, that had the shot at the terrorist at the time, I guess we're learning now, that didn't take it.

01:20:11.000 That didn't take it. Allowed these Americans to be killed. 0.87

01:20:14.000 Like, of course that guy isn't doing that. 0.92

01:20:16.000 Yeah. Like, if you can't take out the terrorists then, in the act, when you, like, of course you didn't find who committed it six hours later and put a missile through their heads.

01:20:25.000 Like, that was never gonna happen.

01:20:27.000 No. No. I mean, the whole thing with the Afghan withdrawal, I think it just really, it speaks to the military-industrial complex, but then also just how the Biden administration operates, I think, like, at the lethal confluence of, like, hubris and incompetence.

01:20:44.000 In the grand scheme of the matrix, that's a really bad cross-section.

01:20:49.000 Yeah, I mean, because under President Trump, like you said, he went and he handed the Taliban that piece of paper that says, I know exactly where you live.

01:20:56.000 If you screw with us, we are going to come for you.

01:20:59.000 At the time, our goal was to fight the Taliban at the negotiating table.

01:21:02.000 It worked out successfully, like you said.

01:21:04.000 We had about a year, year and a half, where no Americans were killed by the Taliban.

01:21:08.000 And that's when President Trump wanted to actually have a good plan to withdraw.

01:21:11.000 There was some, you know, the debate back in there, like, were we going to leave some people?

01:21:14.000 Were we not? You know, but then what happened was immediately we had the Russian bounties hoax that came up.

01:21:19.000 We had a bunch of people that were still in the intelligence community, probably are still there to this day, went to the New York Times, the Washington Post, and said, like, Putin's placed bounties on the heads of American soldiers.

01:21:29.000 And if Trump leaves now, well, somehow he'll be Putin's pawn.

01:21:32.000 And, you know, the Russia hoax was still going on then.

01:21:34.000 Well, it wasn't.

01:21:36.000 It was disproven, but it didn't matter because it could be disproven, but it's like, we'll still run with it.

01:21:40.000 I mean, there's still people today talking about how that was real, even though there's, like, the same people who won't talk about, like, do you think maybe Biden's making decisions in Ukraine slash Russia right now because his son was on every payroll imaginable?

01:21:54.000 Yeah. Are we...

01:21:56.000 I mean, clearly the softest we've ever been on China by like a long shot.

01:21:59.000 Like, is that a factor of the fact that the Chinese government, you know, had an incredible investment of one billion dollars into Hunter's Fund because, you know, the Chinese government invests lots of billion dollar investments with crackheads.

01:22:11.000 With crackheads. Yeah, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, shit, like, I wouldn't get a billion dollars from China because I'm not nearly a competent crackhead, you know, enough. 0.98

01:22:21.000 You gotta work on your art career. Sure, they're smart people. 0.98

01:22:24.000 They give money to crackheads. It's, you know, what could go wrong?

01:22:26.000 Yeah. But it's crazy because after the Russian bounties thing comes out, Congress then moves heaven and earth.

01:22:31.000 It's the only time Congress seems to be able to move in unison is to keep troops at war.

01:22:35.000 And they block Trump from being able to spend any money to get our troops out.

01:22:38.000 And so Trump actually negotiates and extends the ceasefire even further into May of 2020.

01:22:43.000 We all know what happens next. The election gets stolen.

01:22:45.000 Biden gets installed. But Biden can't keep the original deal.

01:22:49.000 He says, no, no, we're not leaving in May.

01:22:50.000 We're going to leave on September 11th.

01:22:52.000 And that's when the Taliban says, oh, no, no deal, Jack.

01:22:55.000 And I think what the military industrial complex did, Millie and Austin, because these guys, they know Biden.

01:23:00.000 They know that Biden was supposed to get us out of Afghanistan under Obama.

01:23:03.000 And so I think that they thought that they could keep lying to Biden and that Biden would approve one more troop extension.

01:23:09.000 Because that's kind of how the war on terror has gone for the last 20 years.

01:23:11.000 It's been one extension after the next.

01:23:13.000 The next guy is always going to get us out.

01:23:14.000 Talk about that a little bit.

01:23:16.000 I mean, that's sort of, you know, and that's just, again, a money game?

01:23:20.000 Yeah, I mean, really it is.

01:23:21.000 I mean, because I think the DOD, the military, does a great job of going to Congress and going to politicians and saying, look, man, if you pull us out now, the terrorists are going to come attack us here.

01:23:30.000 And you don't want to be that guy.

01:23:32.000 And most of them are like, whoa, whoa, whoa.

01:23:33.000 It's just easier to be like...

01:23:34.000 No further questions, a rubber stamp.

01:23:36.000 And I think you get an actual critical thinker in there like President Trump, who's like, yeah, explain that to me.

01:23:40.000 And it collapses and Trump says, okay, no, we're actually going to go ahead and get these guys out of there.

01:23:44.000 But Biden comes in and he wants to be the guy that gets them out on September 11th, finally.

01:23:48.000 And I think his political team was, again, they were devious enough and at the same time incompetent enough that they were like, September 11th, no matter what, everyone's coming out.

01:23:56.000 And I think Millie and a lot of these guys, because look, I don't like a lot of what they do, but they can plan a withdrawal if they want to.

01:24:02.000 Yeah, of course. It's not rocket science.

01:24:04.000 It shows not to plan it. They let the State Department.

01:24:06.000 The State Department doesn't plan massive logistical operations.

01:24:10.000 That's the military's deal.

01:24:11.000 Well, the State Department was the guy.

01:24:13.000 I mean, that was the guy who got up on stage in front of Congress.

01:24:16.000 We're shocked that they didn't put a more diverse and inclusive government.

01:24:21.000 I'm like, wait a minute. Did you think there was going to be like a...

01:24:25.000 They're not going to throw gays off buildings anymore. 0.92

01:24:27.000 They're going to give them a seat at the table.

01:24:28.000 They're going to bring Leah Thomas in, trans swimmer extraordinaire, to talk about the... 0.99

01:24:33.000 You see it today.

01:24:34.000 You saw the hashtag campaign last week in Afghanistan.

01:24:39.000 I'm like, a hashtag campaign on Twitter?

01:24:41.000 It's less than 10% internet connectivity.

01:24:45.000 What is your woke virtue signaling going to possibly do over there?

01:24:49.000 Someone told me this, and it actually had to do with conservation issues, sort of like in Africa, because I'm a big hunter, and they're like, you can't solve third-world problems with first-world solutions.

01:25:00.000 And people don't understand that.

01:25:02.000 You can't get someone who lives in America, even in sort of, let's call it, the lab of privilege, just being in this country relative to probably anywhere else in the world, Even still, almost irrespective of socioeconomic status, like relative to the world, you can't get that person to understand what it's really like there until they've actually experienced it.

01:25:24.000 Exactly. That's exactly right.

01:25:25.000 I think the State Department has massive issues, but that's one of their big things is they become this social experiment vehicle as opposed to what they're supposed to do.

01:25:32.000 They're supposed to be diplomats pursuing U.S. interests abroad.

01:25:36.000 After 20 years of war, we're told that, hey, we need to go hand out soccer balls and teach little girls and send little girls to school and, you know, further LGBTQ whatever rights in the third world. 0.97

01:25:45.000 And so then, I mean, they'll take our money for it because we'll fund that shit to like, oh, yeah, millions of dollars for this? 0.97

01:25:51.000 I'm sure. Pakistan, like that all literally went probably right to the ISI and then some money laundering, you know, throughout the American political scene. 0.99

01:25:58.000 But yeah, that's I mean, that's the machinery.

01:26:00.000 And again, like when people were like, hey, what?

01:26:01.000 Why did they hate Trump so much?

01:26:03.000 Was it the mean tweets? If you go and you say that you're going to end the war machine and you're actually going to go to war with the military-industrial complex, they are going to come after you with everything they have.

01:26:12.000 The swamp is deep, but the swamp also has teeth.

01:26:14.000 And that's sort of what perhaps was naïve for me.

01:26:18.000 I believe that all these people are like, hey, they actually love our country.

01:26:22.000 Zero. Almost zero.

01:26:24.000 I'm not saying there aren't people that do, but these days, Like, if you are a patriot, if you do—if you respected Trump and liked what he was doing, like, well, that was it.

01:26:33.000 You just weren't going to get a promotion.

01:26:35.000 You weren't going to do—I mean, talk about sort of the woke takeover of these institutions.

01:26:41.000 You know, it's been explained to me, like, you know, I was like, how do these generals go—how do you spend, like, 40 years in the Army and, like, you're—you know, you really want to learn about white rage that no one had ever heard of before.

01:26:51.000 Like, I— And someone explained it to me, which is like, because there isn't really a desire for war across the country, while there may be in D.C., you know, left and right can generally agree on this.

01:27:02.000 Ukraine may be the one that they've sort of marketed into this.

01:27:04.000 You must see... I mean, when I'm up at my cabin in New York and I drive back to the city, it's like...

01:27:09.000 I see hundreds of Ukraine flags on cars.

01:27:12.000 Not a single American flag, minor details.

01:27:14.000 But the exit ramp is now actually going to work in corporate America for these generals.

01:27:18.000 And if you're the woke general, it's like, well, Disney gets general credit.

01:27:24.000 But it's the woke general, so it's okay. 0.99

01:27:25.000 They actually believe the bullshit we're going to indoctrinate your children with. 0.99

01:27:29.000 And I was like, oh my god, that's probably actually it. 1.00

01:27:32.000 Because it's the only logical answer for why these guys would... 0.99

01:27:38.000 Go with any of this crap. 0.98

01:27:39.000 I think, yeah, the corporate offer definitely factors in a very big way. 0.98

01:27:43.000 But if you want to survive in Washington, D.C., whether you're in the DOD, the State Department of Intelligence community, and you want to continue to get promoted, you do need to be with, I would say, permanent Washington, D.C., which is very, very left-leaning, and that you think that, hey, the experts should run absolutely everything.

01:28:02.000 And expert culture has now become, yeah, the expert.

01:28:04.000 Yeah, yeah. Not based on track record.

01:28:08.000 Yeah, not based on track record, not based on any sort of reasonable success, but you should revoke expert status if you're wrong for decades.

01:28:17.000 I always use the example with my father when they were like, well, Trump's doing it all wrong with North Korea.

01:28:21.000 I'm like, well, why?

01:28:23.000 Well, why? And they're like, well, because we've been in charge of the delegation regarding North Korea for 25 years.

01:28:31.000 They go, well, so have you met the other side?

01:28:35.000 No! So why would I believe that you're doing anything?

01:28:38.000 You've been doing it for 25 decades.

01:28:41.000 Yes. Decades. And you've not even been in the room.

01:28:44.000 Yeah. So...

01:28:46.000 Doing the same thing over, you know, Einstein's definition of insanity, right?

01:28:49.000 The same thing over and over again, expecting a different result.

01:28:52.000 I'm like, I don't know, like, why should you be an expert?

01:28:53.000 Like, you should lose that status after a couple errors.

01:28:56.000 Yeah, same thing with some, I mean, the Abraham Accords was a great example of that as well. 0.97

01:28:59.000 You had all the... It can't be done!

01:29:01.000 You can't negotiate a separate piece, John Kerry out there, and it's like, no, actually, we just did, you know?

01:29:05.000 Yeah, like five times. We talked to all these guys and they actually agree on a lot of the big issues.

01:29:10.000 If you had spent any time in the Middle East and spent a lot of time there, that was the common sense solution.

01:29:14.000 Nobody on the ground was getting hung up on the Palestine issue.

01:29:18.000 That's the big thing.

01:29:20.000 In Washington, D.C., if you can parrot these woke talking points, regardless of how competent you are at your job, There will always be a next rung for you to climb because you'll be seen either as an ally or a crusader, however you want to label it, for these causes.

01:29:34.000 And so that's who we've promoted.

01:29:35.000 And also, we just haven't ever, like you said with the expert thing, we haven't cracked down on any of the people who have not just failed, but lied.

01:29:42.000 There's a lot of folks in the senior levels of the DOD, they lied to the Bush administration.

01:29:46.000 The Bush administration had horrible leaderships, same with Obama.

01:29:49.000 But these guys lied.

01:29:50.000 And that's a big thing. That all came...

01:29:52.000 Crumbling down with the Afghan withdrawal?

01:29:54.000 Because just before that, you had Milley and a bunch of the other generals out there saying, oh, the Afghan military, you know, we spent 20 years here.

01:29:58.000 We spent billions of dollars. They're ready.

01:30:00.000 This is a professional fighting force.

01:30:01.000 And then, boof, it all just disappears overnight.

01:30:04.000 And listen, while there were some great soldiers, I'm sure, as a whole, everyone I know that's been over there were like, man, like I was...

01:30:11.000 That was never going to happen.

01:30:12.000 Half of them are working for the other side and they're just happy to be armed by us and take our equipment.

01:30:18.000 But we never even heard those stories.

01:30:20.000 We never did. And there was never any reckoning.

01:30:22.000 The same thing happened in Iraq.

01:30:23.000 We pulled out of Iraq in 2011.

01:30:25.000 We patted ourselves on the back. We said that we built this great government.

01:30:29.000 Democracy! Democracy! And then the first time, they're actually challenged.

01:30:32.000 ISIS steals a bunch of rusty AKs and Soviet equipment from Assad.

01:30:36.000 They roll across the berm. We're good to go.

01:30:55.000 So how do you end that?

01:30:57.000 Because it feels like clearly none of that could ever end up being a positive thing for our country.

01:31:04.000 But what does it have to do with war?

01:31:07.000 What does it have to do with getting out of it?

01:31:10.000 Obviously money is driving that appetite for some of these things, but like...

01:31:16.000 Can you do it and actually win?

01:31:18.000 How do you end it? Well, I think really just getting back to the Constitution, like, Congress should be the ones that approve war.

01:31:25.000 This is why, like, what Matt Gaetz is doing with getting the different votes forced on AUMF, I think is very, very essential.

01:31:31.000 Because right now, the question that every American should have, like, whether they read a lot about the world and war, is, hey, what's our vital national security interest?

01:31:38.000 Correct. If we're going to war somewhere or we're going to get military aid somewhere, and it can't be explained to your average American who's busy and got a hundred different things going on, like, why we need to do it in, like, 30 seconds, then we probably don't need to be there in the first place.

01:31:51.000 Well, yeah, Matt was on this show, like, three weeks ago, and it was that.

01:31:55.000 It was, like, I guess it was the Monday before the Wednesday of the vote.

01:31:58.000 Yeah. And I want to talk about it, because it's like, I do this.

01:32:02.000 I speak with congressmen and guys running and politics.

01:32:07.000 It's sort of become my life.

01:32:08.000 And it's like, wait, we have people in Syria?

01:32:11.000 And he's like, yeah.

01:32:12.000 And they're just there, not authorized by Congress.

01:32:15.000 And he puts up this bill to try to get...

01:32:17.000 And Congress is like, no, we don't want to touch that.

01:32:19.000 The bill didn't even pass.

01:32:22.000 Republicans and Democrats, it's like, we're going to let these...

01:32:25.000 Other people decide.

01:32:28.000 It's just such a flagrant slap in the face to what I think the American general public...

01:32:32.000 And like I said, I didn't even know about it.

01:32:35.000 And they're not going to talk about it because they know it's not popular.

01:32:37.000 Exactly. But they're going to perpetuate.

01:32:39.000 Same with Somalia. Same with Somalia. 0.88

01:32:41.000 I think a big thing, too, to really right the ship would be to hold a lot of these people accountable.

01:32:45.000 And the American people, they remember what happened in Afghanistan.

01:32:48.000 They might not remember the 20 years war.

01:32:49.000 They might not remember why we went.

01:32:51.000 But when we lost those 13 on the way out and the way that we exited from Afghanistan, the American people remember that.

01:32:56.000 And we've still held no one accountable.

01:32:58.000 People should be in jail for that. 0.87

01:33:00.000 And by the way, I think, again, if you say something that's deemed offensive by the arbiters of truth in the lunatic communist media...

01:33:10.000 There's actual accountability.

01:33:13.000 There's a societal consequence to you.

01:33:17.000 Accountability seems to be the thing missing in all of this stuff, right?

01:33:20.000 Like, hey, you know what? You want third graders or three-year-olds to change their gender? 0.91

01:33:26.000 Okay, the doctor that signed off on it and performed the surgery, if that kid comes back when they're an adult and says, I can't believe you did this to me...

01:33:32.000 Why is there no consequence to that?

01:33:33.000 Legal, finance, whatever it may be.

01:33:35.000 Fine. You want accountability.

01:33:37.000 Let's actually take it across the board in everything.

01:33:40.000 But that's the thing. I think we can make so many bad decisions because accountability seems to only go one way.

01:33:46.000 That's right. Yeah, exactly.

01:33:48.000 And especially, I mean, these senior leaders in our military, in our intelligence community, like, they need to be held accountable.

01:33:53.000 Like, the guys who lied about the Russian bounties, like, they're still out there.

01:33:56.000 They still have security clearances. The 20 or so spies who said that the Hunter Biden laptop was, like, 51 or whatever.

01:34:02.000 Yeah, like, former director. They're like, it's Russian disinformation.

01:34:05.000 I'm like, well, why? And they knew.

01:34:06.000 Of course they knew. So they lied to the public.

01:34:09.000 But it's like, there's not even a consequence.

01:34:11.000 They're given, like, contributorships at CNN. They're rewarded for lying to the American public.

01:34:17.000 And we're supposed to believe it like it is.

01:34:19.000 Same with Comey. Same with Strzok and McCabe.

01:34:22.000 They lied before Congress.

01:34:25.000 Having done, you know, 50 hours or so in front of Congress, like, if I put a comma in the wrong spot, I'd be in jail right now.

01:34:30.000 They're like, it's known they lied.

01:34:33.000 It's clear as day.

01:34:35.000 There's no, like, ambiguity.

01:34:36.000 And it's like, oh, well, you know, they're great.

01:34:38.000 They can be on CNN and they can talk about, you know, national security and they can say, you know, and they do this from this Holier than them. 1.00

01:34:45.000 I'm like, but you're a fucking liar. 1.00

01:34:47.000 It's known, and you're going to talk about honor. 1.00

01:34:51.000 What are you talking about?

01:34:52.000 You have none. None whatsoever.

01:34:53.000 That's clear. But there's, like you said, there's two different justice systems.

01:34:57.000 I mean, had I done half the crap those guys did... 0.91

01:35:00.000 Oh, no, you'd be like... 0.84

01:35:03.000 You'd be a Gitmo, and I'd be like, hey, can I get a Starlink interview with Joe... 0.84

01:35:09.000 They're like, who? Never?

01:35:10.000 No, he no longer exists.

01:35:12.000 I'd be gone, yeah. The American people see that, so I do think there is an appetite right now for accountability.

01:35:17.000 Just yesterday, Corey Mills actually...

01:35:19.000 Corey's great. Yeah, Corey's awesome.

01:35:20.000 Submitted impeachment papers for Lloyd Austin for the withdrawal in Afghanistan.

01:35:24.000 So it probably won't go very far if we let these guys know we're on them.

01:35:29.000 I think that's the point. We have to...

01:35:30.000 We've been... You've got to fight the same way.

01:35:34.000 You know what I mean? We've been, okay, well, we disagree.

01:35:37.000 They'll be like, but they'll impeach you.

01:35:39.000 If you did the equivalent of what the left has done, they will end your life. 0.53

01:35:44.000 They put you in the gulags.

01:35:46.000 And we're like, oh, well, we disagree.

01:35:49.000 We're going to agree to disagree.

01:35:50.000 I'm like, no, no, no, guys. That ship has sailed.

01:35:53.000 If we're going to keep agreeing to disagree and not play by their tax.

01:35:57.000 Same thing with voting. Right?

01:35:58.000 We want paper ballots.

01:36:00.000 We want same-day voting.

01:36:02.000 We want ID. That's wonderful.

01:36:04.000 I agree. Guess what?

01:36:06.000 You don't get that until you're actually in power to legislate it.

01:36:09.000 So you have to play the game on the battlefield that they have designated.

01:36:13.000 That's right. They have that hand.

01:36:14.000 They weaponized COVID to do it.

01:36:15.000 You know, even the conservative people were pushed in, you know, scare tactics into, you know, camping out there.

01:36:22.000 Well, you know, I know I'm fine.

01:36:23.000 Well, I don't want to be the bad guy because, you know, most people don't have The stomach for the way the left plays the game, and they've weaponized that for decades.

01:36:31.000 You know, we have to do that.

01:36:32.000 I mean, you're from Washington State.

01:36:34.000 You've been running. You continue to do that.

01:36:36.000 I think that's great because I think you're by far the strongest candidate, and we need strength because we can't have that coddling anymore.

01:36:42.000 That's right. The coddling's gotten us here.

01:36:44.000 Yeah. So talk about that.

01:36:47.000 In Washington State, you know, maybe the home of, like, woke bullshit. 0.99

01:36:54.000 The ground of just the worst case scenario of everything imaginable. 0.98

01:36:59.000 Talk about what we can do to start winning, to start pushing back, what needs to be done.

01:37:05.000 Washington State, our politics are largely dictated by Seattle, and everybody knows Seattle, the Chas, and all that. 0.98

01:37:10.000 My district actually is closer to Portland, Oregon, which is no better than Seattle.

01:37:14.000 We get it from the north and the south, but my district, I think like a lot of America is this way.

01:37:19.000 We've got some suburbs that are probably more influenced by Portland, but a lot of conservatives live there because it's safer and the taxes are a little bit lower.

01:37:26.000 But then once you get outside of those urban areas, you flip it off the highway, and it's salt of the earth.

01:37:30.000 It's a lot of logging communities, a lot of fishing communities.

01:37:33.000 I've been there. Great for the outdoors.

01:37:35.000 Good, hardworking people. However, we really just get drowned out by these major urban centers.

01:37:40.000 And that's because the left, they effectively ballot harvest.

01:37:42.000 They don't waste time maybe hoping that someone's going to vote for them.

01:37:47.000 With conservatives, we're like, oh, you're going to vote for us?

01:37:49.000 That's awesome. We'll see you on election day.

01:37:51.000 They're like, give me your ballot.

01:37:53.000 No, no, no. I want the ballot right now.

01:37:54.000 I'm going to hand it in. And you can do that in Washington, right?

01:37:57.000 It's like the most liberal.

01:37:59.000 Anyone can collect any ballot, hand it in.

01:38:01.000 They can get a blank ballot, fill it out how they want, I imagine.

01:38:04.000 Or even if they can't, they will.

01:38:05.000 Yes. Yeah, yeah. The only thing you can't do is quid pro quo.

01:38:07.000 You can't say, like, if you vote for that, I'll give you a gift card.

01:38:10.000 You know, but... Yeah, yeah.

01:38:12.000 I'm sure they're not doing any of that.

01:38:14.000 Yeah, yeah. That would be the left for sure.

01:38:15.000 I mean, but what I think we need to do, and this is probably one of the bigger people always say, hey, if you could go back and do the last election over again, what would you do?

01:38:22.000 We were encouraging, I think we as Republicans were encouraging all of our people to get out and vote on election day.

01:38:27.000 Because like you said, that's how we want to vote.

01:38:29.000 We have the best, come hear me at a town hall, come listen to my speeches, then use your own individual agency and initiative to vote for me.

01:38:35.000 That's how we think as conservatives.

01:38:36.000 And you get a snowstorm that day and it's like, I can't get there.

01:38:39.000 We're going to flat tire, your kid's sick.

01:38:40.000 The voting machine's not working in this moment.

01:38:42.000 Right, but the Democrats, we vote for like a month in Washington state.

01:38:45.000 The Democrats are out chasing ballots the entire time, and I think that we can really start taking back our state, and I think the rest of the country is this way too.

01:38:52.000 If we get folks in these rural communities, if we make sure they're out there voting, we had 80,000 Republicans who voted Republican in 2020 in my district who just didn't cast a ballot in 2022, because presidential cycles drive out more voters, but we're not going to take And you only lost by like 2,500 votes, right? Yeah.

01:39:11.000 Pretty small. Yeah, less than a percentage point.

01:39:13.000 March. And you were probably out-raised how much money to how much money.

01:39:16.000 Oh man, in the primary it was like 6-1, another 5-1 in the general.

01:39:19.000 Yeah, and you had a rough primary with a bunch of rhinos. 0.99

01:39:22.000 Yeah, we took out one of the impeachment voters, so we're still proud of that.

01:39:24.000 That's nice. At least we got rid of that.

01:39:26.000 But yeah, so I mean, you're up against a lot, still came up with that.

01:39:30.000 So what are you going to do differently this time around?

01:39:32.000 Yeah. No, I mean, number one is the ballot harvesting game.

01:39:35.000 And the good thing is 2022 was a big wake up for all of our county level and local activists, because now we're all, you know, coming up with strategies to ballot harvest.

01:39:43.000 We're really going to get in the churches.

01:39:45.000 Here's the thing. Ballot harvesting works out well if your group of voters congregates in an area.

01:39:49.000 Now, outside of urban centers, who congregates?

01:39:52.000 It's conservatives, churches, sporting events.

01:39:55.000 You know, we have gun shows probably like three or four every weekend where there's thousands of people.

01:39:58.000 Register them and vote them. Register them and vote them.

01:40:00.000 And we can put drop boxes there.

01:40:02.000 We can get our activists in front of them and just say, hey, have you voted yet?

01:40:04.000 I'll follow you to your house and I will take your ballot from you.

01:40:07.000 So that's something that we're really going to capitalize on this time.

01:40:09.000 I think that's smart. I mean, you just mentioned guns.

01:40:11.000 I mean, didn't Washington State just pass some insane, like...

01:40:14.000 They're trying to. Yeah, they're trying to right now.

01:40:16.000 So basically, it's effectively an assault weapons ban, right?

01:40:19.000 Yes. It's sort of like the New York Safe Act, but maybe even more extreme.

01:40:23.000 I think it's even more extreme because basically...

01:40:25.000 You just can't even... The definition of assault rifle basically goes to anything that's a semi-automatic you know basically but if it's not a single shot.

01:40:33.000 So like your plugged you know three shot Benelli like duck gun is now an assault weapon?

01:40:41.000 The language is written in a way that you can interpret it that way and the same thing with a lot of pistols they already went after our magazine capacity so it's a full-on assault on our second amendment rights hopefully It's not going to hold up in court.

01:40:52.000 Right now, California, they passed a similar bill that's with the Ninth Circuit, so I don't know if the Ninth Circuit's actually going to do the right thing.

01:40:57.000 They probably won't. Well, the Ninth Circuit, I used to call it, that's where the Constitution goes to die.

01:41:03.000 But it does seem like there's been, again, it's a broad bench, but it seems like there were some Trump appointees with the judges that they really focused on that actually was like, wait, that's actually a reasonable interpretation of the Constitution for the first time ever out of the Ninth Circuit.

01:41:16.000 So hopefully you draw a bench, but I'm sure they'll gerrymander that as well and figure out a way to make sure that you don't when it comes to guns, right?

01:41:23.000 Yeah, and they're definitely coming after our right to bear arms, for sure. 0.99

01:41:27.000 So, you know, I know your neighbor, I guess, to the south and, you know, perhaps a little bit to the east in Idaho, and I guess your neighbor to the south in Oregon, there's a talk about literally taking a component of Oregon and, like, incorporating it into Idaho because we're like, we're sick of this shit. 0.99

01:41:47.000 Yes. Talk about that because I see that like as someone from New York where like, you know, used to be welcomed everywhere. 0.92

01:41:53.000 Now I'm probably like a pariah in like New York City.

01:41:56.000 But if I go like an hour outside of the city, I'm getting high fives at gas stations and people are like, you know, let's selfie.

01:42:00.000 I love you guys. You're the best.

01:42:02.000 It's the greatest. How long till that stuff actually starts happening?

01:42:06.000 Because like... You know, it's not like it's 12 people versus millions.

01:42:10.000 It's like, you know, a million versus a million one.

01:42:14.000 You know, perhaps more growing, but it's like where the millions, they're getting no representation whatsoever.

01:42:21.000 No account of their values, of their lifestyles, of the way they are, you know, a farming community versus an urban community. 0.97

01:42:28.000 And it's like, well, we get to pay for all that shit, but we don't actually get anything back. 0.99

01:42:31.000 Exactly. So, I mean, does that thing have legs? 0.99

01:42:33.000 Can it happen? And is it a model for, like, the future?

01:42:36.000 Because, like I said, I come from places where it's like, I don't know how you exist...

01:42:41.000 In the same state. No, it just doesn't...

01:42:43.000 You get to pay for it.

01:42:45.000 You're taxed so much more heavily to fund... 1.00

01:42:49.000 Bullshit that you get no benefit from. 0.99

01:42:52.000 And there's a whole sort of taxation without representation. 1.00

01:42:55.000 I mean, this sort of started our separation from England at the time.

01:43:02.000 How is this any different?

01:43:03.000 Yeah, I mean, so for folks who aren't familiar, there's a bunch of counties in eastern Oregon that are looking to become part of greater Idaho, basically.

01:43:11.000 And Oregon is, those counties are passing ballot measures to get them out of there.

01:43:17.000 Idaho has said they would accept them as well.

01:43:19.000 So I think it actually has a good deal of legs.

01:43:21.000 I don't know what the exact timeline is.

01:43:23.000 They're working that out. The thing is, Oregon, on the Oregon side, Salem and Portland are for it because they basically then would be able to clear the deck and they would be able to pass all this woke nonsense.

01:43:31.000 And so it's kind of like almost like a, I don't know, agreed upon divorce between, you know, people that just have- That in and of itself is a little bit scary, but yeah.

01:43:39.000 It's a little bit scary, yeah. And I think Eastern Washington potentially could go the same way.

01:43:43.000 I hope it doesn't because I'm in Southwest Washington and we're one of the conservative areas.

01:43:47.000 So we need those folks.

01:43:48.000 On the east side. What did you say conservative?

01:43:50.000 Yeah. We need the east side to help keep us a little bit sane away from the Seattle orbit.

01:43:56.000 I hope Washington State stays intact.

01:43:59.000 But however, this is, I mean, we got to look at why this is happening and just how different the people that live in these urban hubs are and how they think from the folks that are in these more rural communities.

01:44:08.000 Because I think that's the real divide in the country we have right now.

01:44:10.000 It's not north or south or any of that stuff.

01:44:12.000 I think it's really just urban versus rural.

01:44:13.000 Yeah, 100%.

01:44:15.000 I think one of the things that's interesting, following you on social, and you guys should check them out, you actually talk about a lot of interesting issues.

01:44:23.000 You sort of engage on all the battlefronts, which is great.

01:44:27.000 I think so many people just talk about the one thing that's going to be...

01:44:29.000 You actually talk about these big, all-country affecting issues.

01:44:35.000 You were tweeting about OPEC the other day.

01:44:39.000 China trying to switch the wand to sort of the, let's call it the reserve currency of oil, and what that means to the average American.

01:44:49.000 Basically oil, by mandate, is traded in U.S. dollars right now, for those who don't understand.

01:44:56.000 That's like replace the gold standard almost.

01:44:59.000 And so it gives America the ability to run up a $32 trillion deficit and to spend so far beyond our means.

01:45:07.000 And you were talking about sort of China's infiltration of that, trying to switch that, which...

01:45:12.000 Disastrous consequences to America.

01:45:15.000 Talk about that a little bit, because it's good to see people engaging in these things, not just talking about the local issue, but talking about the big picture.

01:45:23.000 What does that say for American energy independence?

01:45:25.000 What does it say about the future of our country?

01:45:28.000 And by the way, since I feel like so much of that $32 million is actually funding woke bullshit, Maybe the left even wants to wake up to see how disastrous this actually is right now, because there's no more billion dollars for gender ideology programs in Pakistan, even if it's being stolen and creating the oligarch class in Pakistan. 0.70

01:45:52.000 That doesn't exist if you can't borrow, because there's nothing backstopping it.

01:45:57.000 Yeah. I mean, right now the U.S. is the prime reserve currency holder.

01:46:01.000 We've been the prime reserve currency holder since the end of World War II. That just means basically if you want to do an international transaction, you do it in the dollar.

01:46:07.000 The underpinning of that in a very big way was OPEC. OPEC would only sell their oil to other countries in the dollar.

01:46:15.000 And that gave us this almost dangerous ability to not produce a ton of real value.

01:46:20.000 We were able to live beyond our means while the rest of the world was basically forced to live below their potential.

01:46:25.000 And it's like, you know, it's worked out well for America, you know, but man, it doesn't seem sustainable.

01:46:32.000 No, it's not sustainable, especially since we hollowed out our industrial base.

01:46:36.000 We don't produce things here anymore.

01:46:37.000 We are starting to become energy independent, exporting energy under the Trump administration.

01:46:41.000 Biden killed all that off.

01:46:42.000 So we still need OPEC. However...

01:46:44.000 The rest of the world is starting to see that, like, fundamentally, we have major problems here.

01:46:48.000 They saw what happened in Afghanistan.

01:46:49.000 They see us overextend throughout the entire world.

01:46:52.000 They see that our economy is not doing well here with this Biden inflation.

01:46:55.000 And now you have other countries that are hedging their bets.

01:46:57.000 I mean, we really...

01:46:58.000 When Russia invaded Ukraine, and Russia was wrong to invade Ukraine, we...

01:47:02.000 Yes, it's funny that you have to caveat that.

01:47:04.000 I have to. Of course they were.

01:47:05.000 But you're not allowed to say, like, it was a little weird that after, you know, a 50-year stalemate, we were like, let's incorporate Ukraine.

01:47:11.000 We have a 500-mile buffer between NATO and the Russian border. 0.99

01:47:17.000 And, yeah, fuck that. 0.99

01:47:19.000 We're just going to go right up on the border. You're not allowed to say, we're the kind of ones leading on the encroachment thing. 1.00

01:47:25.000 And I'm not saying it wasn't planned, or maybe he's wanted to do this for a while.

01:47:31.000 But you'd also say half of Ukraine considers themselves Russian.

01:47:36.000 These are semantics you're not allowed to discuss.

01:47:38.000 Exactly.

01:47:39.000 And so when Putin did that, he invaded Ukraine, obviously you're right, the people that actually

01:47:43.000 came up with the theory of containment that got us through the Cold War without firing

01:47:47.000 a shot, they were like, big red flag, don't ever push NATO up on Russia's border.

01:47:50.000 Just sort of like if Putin started doing regime change in Mexico City or Quebec, I think we'd

01:47:54.000 probably do something about it.

01:47:56.000 But when that...

01:47:57.000 Not really.

01:47:58.000 Because China's taken over a lot of the stuff in Mexico.

01:47:59.000 in Mexico and you know what I mean?

01:48:00.000 We're allowing that, right?

01:48:02.000 They're pumping fentanyl through it, and someone says, hey, we've got to hold the cartels account.

01:48:07.000 It's on sovereign soil. I'm like, they're literally a far greater threat to us and Americans than anything Russia's done. 0.96

01:48:15.000 Exactly. Probably ever.

01:48:16.000 Maybe the threat was bigger in the 60s, but the reality is nothing actually happened beyond some sort of under-the-table spy shit. 0.99

01:48:27.000 They're just killing tens of thousands of Americans a year. 0.99

01:48:29.000 300 a day are getting killed by fentanyl.

01:48:31.000 And it's like, we can't engage the cartels.

01:48:33.000 I'm like... What?

01:48:35.000 You're telling me they're not a clear and present danger to the United States of America and its citizens?

01:48:40.000 Can we at least build the wall?

01:48:42.000 No, that's racist.

01:48:43.000 But we can't finish the wall for $3 billion.

01:48:45.000 But we can send $130 to the Ukraine with no accountability, no budgeting, no...

01:48:52.000 Who cares where the missiles really go?

01:48:54.000 So at the same time we're doing all this, we threw this massive...

01:48:57.000 We had a massive sanctions package at Russia that basically said, Russians, you guys can't use the dollar anymore.

01:49:01.000 You can't use the SWIFT banking system.

01:49:03.000 And we thought that that was going to be some massive, like, smackdown to them. 1.00

01:49:05.000 And their currency went through the roof, like literally the reverse effect because the people making our decisions are morons. 1.00

01:49:11.000 Yeah, the confluence of hubris and incompetence. 1.00

01:49:14.000 And China came in and said, hey, don't worry about it. 0.99

01:49:16.000 We've been working on this yuan system that we don't need to use the dollar anymore.

01:49:20.000 And so you don't have to be a geostrategic genius to take a look at the map and see what happens when you combine Russia In China, that's a massive economic force right now.

01:49:29.000 And then now you have Russia making deals and going to the Saudis and going to the Gulf nations and saying, hey, can we buy some of that oil with Yuan?

01:49:35.000 And hey, look, they see that we're weak.

01:49:38.000 And so they're like, actually, you know what? Yuan seems like a pretty good option right now. 0.96

01:49:40.000 Let's diversify our portfolio.

01:49:42.000 Yeah, it's sort of the nature of predation.

01:49:44.000 You've seen this in war.

01:49:48.000 People seek out the weak target.

01:49:50.000 Nature seeks out the weak person in the herd.

01:49:54.000 And when you listen to Joe Biden on TV, Not in a particular instance, but pretty much any time he speaks, you can't help but be like, okay, there's my window, let's capitalize.

01:50:05.000 You know, whatever the timeline for China taking over Taiwan, and I'm sure there was a timeline, but it's been like, let's just move that forward a couple of years.

01:50:13.000 Because we're exuding incompetence.

01:50:17.000 We lead with it.

01:50:18.000 You know, the day Russia is meeting with China to discuss these sorts of things, like, you know, Joe Biden and the presser, you know, they have the cast of Ted Lasso in the way, and I'm like, These guys are plotting to take down the dollar and they've got like some Hollywood people there.

01:50:34.000 Yeah. It's incredible.

01:50:37.000 No, it's up in your face. Like, if I didn't, if I wasn't living it every day, I'd be like, we're being punked.

01:50:41.000 Like, it has to be, like, I asked, I was like, dude, like, guys, just please someone, like, you know, blink three times if I'm just the guy, like, I'm the star of the Truman Show.

01:50:51.000 Like, are they filming me and it's like, I'm supposed to, like, because it's like, you can't imagine that what's going on is real and yet it is.

01:50:59.000 Yeah, exactly. I mean, they do these things to distract us, I think, from their incompetence and their scheming.

01:51:04.000 But that's, I mean, it's not being covered right now at all.

01:51:06.000 If we even, if the dollar is even degraded, we are going to see inflation off the charts.

01:51:11.000 I mean, right now, every American is already getting about a month their wages stolen because of by this inflation.

01:51:15.000 Now, if we lose our status or if our status is eroded, the people who are on the other side of this argument will say that, like, the yuan is nowhere near strong enough to take down the dollar.

01:51:23.000 They don't have to completely take down the dollar to erode some of our economy.

01:51:26.000 And this is how China fights. China fights for hybrid warfare. 0.72

01:51:28.000 They fight on the economic front.

01:51:30.000 Well, I mean, listen, you know, we can't be naive to this.

01:51:33.000 Like, everything they're doing, you know, half of it's a psy-op, whether it's, you know, fentanyl, obviously.

01:51:38.000 You know, like, how do you... You know, degrade a population.

01:51:40.000 You make everyone in fear of this.

01:51:42.000 You know, everyone loses a kid.

01:51:44.000 It doesn't matter. It just discriminates.

01:51:46.000 You know, it doesn't discriminate, right?

01:51:48.000 Socio-economically, you're going to be rich, poor, white, black, doesn't matter. 0.98

01:51:51.000 Like, it's just killing everyone.

01:51:54.000 You know, pushing, you know, we'll also talk about, like, sort of the TikTok algorithm in China, you know?

01:52:00.000 If you're a kid and you're a physics nerd, you're like a TikTok star because you're doing something productive.

01:52:04.000 For us, it's like, let's take gender dysphoria and stick it out of your throat so that every kid is like, I don't know, if I'm trans, I'm cool.

01:52:11.000 What could go wrong? I'm going to pump myself full of shit that no one knows what's going to go on. 0.99

01:52:17.000 We're in a constant PSYOP, but we're led by people who can't even see it. 0.99

01:52:23.000 Yeah, they're either in on it or they just can't see it, or they just have too many money and interest right now with this status quo.

01:52:29.000 And the thing is, these people who have those interests of keeping our manufacturing base shipped overseas from China, all these different lucrative business deals with the Chinese Communist Party, they don't realize that this whole deck of cards is going to collapse.

01:52:40.000 So for them to think that this is going to continue, And then to gaslight the American people and just say, like, oh, no, you can't get rid of TikTok.

01:52:46.000 That's an assault on the First Amendment.

01:52:47.000 No, no, no, we can't bring back the manufacturing.

01:52:49.000 Those days have gone. You're talking about some old-timey stuff.

01:52:52.000 That's actually never going to happen. Now, these are very real things we have to get serious about.

01:52:56.000 And the same thing, energy independence. I think HR1 that they're putting forth today to bring back American energy independence, I think that's going before Congress here in the next...

01:53:03.000 Next day or two, and you've already got the Democrats out there saying, like, oh no, we can't be energy independent.

01:53:08.000 Climate change! Because, you know, everything is racist or climate change.

01:53:12.000 Literally, the cause of and solution for all of life's problems is racism or climate change.

01:53:18.000 That's all they have.

01:53:19.000 Now, you bring up something that has nothing to do with any of those things, and they will still turn it into that.

01:53:24.000 I mean, we've seen that as a response, but it's like...

01:53:27.000 How do you stay in the fight when you're up against that much?

01:53:31.000 Insanity, right? Because I think that's the biggest thing.

01:53:33.000 We said it earlier, but people need to know they've got to stay engaged.

01:53:38.000 How do the people of Washington...

01:53:39.000 It's clear to me that you're the fighter that they actually need for this insanity.

01:53:43.000 How do they find you?

01:53:45.000 What keeps you motivated?

01:53:47.000 Obviously, I imagine the legacy of what you've gone through, both from wife experience, your wife, but how do you stay in this game?

01:53:55.000 What's your message to them to prevent them from getting discouraged?

01:53:58.000 You've been through about as bad An experience, and you're out there still fighting.

01:54:04.000 And that, I think, is just incredible.

01:54:06.000 That is the America I know, love, believe in, and want to support.

01:54:10.000 And that's why I'm fighting, to preserve that mentality.

01:54:13.000 But, man, that's not easy. No, it's not.

01:54:14.000 I mean, I'm really, I'm in this for my kids.

01:54:16.000 I'm in this for the legacy of my wife and so many other Americans who are buried in Arlington National Cemetery to preserve our country.

01:54:22.000 That's the big picture. That's what's in my heart.

01:54:24.000 But also, like, you've got to kind of, if you're going to go into a fight, you've got to be a little nasty. 0.96

01:54:28.000 And the Democrats are a lot nasty. 0.99

01:54:30.000 Oh, they're vicious. By the way, I'm jealous in the sense that I'm like, man, they're so much better at this than us. 0.98

01:54:34.000 Now, maybe it's why a guy like me has been able to have a platform.

01:54:37.000 Like, I've never run for office. I've never done it.

01:54:39.000 But they're like, okay. Like, Don's insane enough to actually fight.

01:54:42.000 Like, he's that guy.

01:54:44.000 I like that guy. Because he's, like, how does everyone else get there?

01:54:48.000 I think the big thing is to not buy into the PSYOP. The biggest PSYOP the Democrats have right now, and they have some sophisticated ones, but the biggest one they have right now is that they are going to be able to rig and steal every single election so they don't even bother voting.

01:54:59.000 And I hear this from conservatives all the time.

01:55:01.000 The guys are saying, my vote doesn't matter.

01:55:02.000 And it's like, no, no, no. Your vote matters.

01:55:04.000 What they fear the most, they wouldn't need that PSYOP right there if your vote didn't matter.

01:55:09.000 Correct. So if you stay engaged, and you don't have to run for Congress, but if you show up to school board meetings, you get involved in your GOP, and then you get out there and you vote, you make sure your neighbors vote, you help us ballot harvest if it's legal in your state, you register people to vote, that right there, that terrifies the left.

01:55:24.000 Yeah, because people say that. They're like, you know, Don, I can't really run for Congress.

01:55:27.000 I'm like, you don't have to run for Congress.

01:55:29.000 Get involved at your school board.

01:55:30.000 If we can take back our schools...

01:55:32.000 It's so much harder when...

01:55:34.000 I saw it with my kids in schools in New York City.

01:55:37.000 The indoctrination is real, man.

01:55:40.000 You can't do that.

01:55:42.000 You get a kid back after... 1.00

01:55:45.000 18 years of this shit. 1.00

01:55:46.000 Yeah. 20 years of this stuff from starting... 1.00

01:55:50.000 And it's like, it's really hard to get them to...

01:55:52.000 You know, we've been brainwashed.

01:55:53.000 Oh, yeah. That's real.

01:55:55.000 But, you know, if we can take over our schools...

01:55:58.000 And, you know, I know... So one of the sponsors of the show, Patriot Mobile, like, they gave back and fought back down in Dallas where they're based and, like, literally flipped a school board to conservative and, like, immediately...

01:56:08.000 Like, you just... What you mean?

01:56:09.000 It's a conservative leading board that represents conservative people, like, in a conservative district.

01:56:14.000 And they're like... We don't have the purple-haired freak that was doing the bidding of the communists on the board anymore. 0.74

01:56:21.000 It's like, they donated money, and they were painted as a terrorist organization for donating to have people whose children are actually in attendance in these schools, whose parents shared these values.

01:56:34.000 Those people were in charge of the children It was so...

01:56:40.000 I'm looking and I'm like, and major news were like, these people donated to this.

01:56:44.000 I'm like, that's good. I want Patriot Mobile doing that.

01:56:47.000 Why would we not want a school board comprised of people that's actually representative of the people of the district, the way they vote, their belief systems?

01:56:57.000 You mean they're religious Americans? 0.54

01:56:59.000 Oh my god, I know that's a terrorist organization.

01:57:00.000 In your mind, whatever mainstream paper was writing it.

01:57:03.000 And they wouldn't have freaked out if it wasn't important.

01:57:05.000 Correct. If it was just like, oh, who cares about the school board?

01:57:08.000 They wouldn't have freaked out. When they have losses that don't matter, it's like it never happened.

01:57:12.000 When they have losses that matter, and they understand that, like, wait a minute, is this the beginning of the wave to end the indoctrination?

01:57:18.000 It's like, uh-oh, now they're going to go after it. 0.97

01:57:21.000 That's why I was like, these guys, they literally sponsor my show, and I'm like, that takes balls.

01:57:24.000 It's like, I'm gonna say something that's gonna offend, you know, my opening monologue's gonna probably get me canceled at least by, you know, a couple leftist organizations for this very show. 0.97

01:57:34.000 Something you say between now and the end of the week, you know, you are literally the worst. 1.00

01:57:41.000 Like, you are a terrorist, racist, misogynist, homophobic, whatever it may be. 1.00

01:57:45.000 You don't have to be talking about anything. 0.99

01:57:46.000 You can say, you know, Merry Christmas and that's enough to trigger them because that's a microaggression.

01:57:50.000 Right. But it's why I talk about that.

01:57:54.000 My last show was about the patriot economy.

01:57:57.000 We have to stop feeding that beast.

01:57:59.000 We have to get involved and push back where we can, and we also have to stop feeding it because they've shown that they will weaponize anything they can against you.

01:58:08.000 Yeah, absolutely. I mean, I think the, whatever, alternative economy, I think that's absolutely essential.

01:58:12.000 Just buying as much local things as you can from businesses that support your agenda.

01:58:17.000 I mean, there's always... Yeah, I actually, literally, I helped get, I'm helping a buddy, Michael Seifert.

01:58:21.000 He was actually on the show on Monday.

01:58:23.000 Nice. Square.

01:58:25.000 Oh, yeah, yeah. Which is like, you know, it's a website and an app.

01:58:27.000 Like, you could be like, okay, these guys, they sign off to the, you know, like, they're for freedom, they're for this.

01:58:31.000 Like, if you're on the app, you believe what we believe.

01:58:33.000 Oh, yeah. And I'm like, well, if you're going to search anyway, like, go there.

01:58:36.000 Go there. You know, like, which coffee shop?

01:58:38.000 Like, put this guy who believes what you believe in, who's a good, you know, patriotic American, like, put his kid through hockey camp.

01:58:45.000 Exactly. Or practice. Not, like, Starbucks, who, you know, is literally taking a percentage of your money and donating it to, like, The radical movements of our country who have shown to be total frauds anyway, but that doesn't matter.

01:58:59.000 They get to post their black square and virtue signal to no end.

01:59:03.000 That's such a key tenet of this show.

01:59:05.000 We've got to fight back on all of these things.

01:59:07.000 You don't have to run for Congress.

01:59:09.000 Go to Public Square.

01:59:11.000 Go on the app and just be like...

01:59:13.000 Hey, I'll buy from this business.

01:59:15.000 If you're traveling, find the coffee shop that you may not know.

01:59:18.000 It's so easy to push back.

01:59:20.000 And you take the purse strings, you fight back on the school board level, like, hey, maybe you'll find you're actually good at this.

01:59:25.000 And you'll take it further and go get more involved and more involved.

01:59:27.000 But you don't have to go to that extreme right off the bat.

01:59:29.000 And vote too. I mean, I think most people, everybody's going to follow the presidential cycle because that drives, you know, a lot of the news cycle.

01:59:35.000 Midterms are absolutely essential.

01:59:36.000 But then like these election years, 2023, like we have a bunch of municipal elections.

01:59:41.000 We have school board elections for people to get out and make sure they vote in every single one of those because the Democrat machine never, ever stops.

01:59:47.000 But if we can engage our people and come up with our own machinery that makes sure we get our people into these positions, we'll take our country back.

01:59:53.000 Yeah, and by the way, even if there's just a few people there watching, catch them in the act.

01:59:58.000 Call it out. Just make it harder for them to get away with the murder, essentially, that they've been committing while pretending that this is all above board, right?

02:00:06.000 So how do our viewers find you?

02:00:09.000 How do they help you support in your cause?

02:00:11.000 Give them everything. Again, it's so rare on our side, unfortunately, to find people who are willing to engage the way you do.

02:00:20.000 Absolutely, yeah. JoeKentForCongress.com.

02:00:22.000 That's the website.

02:00:26.000 JoeKent16JAN19 on Twitter, Gitter, Truth Social, Facebook, all that.

02:00:31.000 So JoeKentForCongress.com is the place where folks can go and make a donation.

02:00:33.000 We're coming up on the end of the reporting quarter, so if anybody can give any amount.

02:00:38.000 We raised $3.2 million last election cycle.

02:00:41.000 Wow. No PAC money.

02:00:42.000 That's big money. Big money in Congress.

02:00:45.000 Especially rural Congress.

02:00:47.000 It was all individual donations.

02:00:49.000 Our average donation was like 50 bucks.

02:00:50.000 And you were still outspent by what?

02:00:52.000 You were still outspent by like 5 to 1.

02:00:54.000 That's what we're up against, right?

02:00:56.000 California is donating to the people.

02:00:57.000 New York is donating to your opponent.

02:01:00.000 It's not the people from your state that are actually even supporting this.

02:01:03.000 It's like they're just giving all this money because the discrepancy in what the left is able to raise is so insane.

02:01:09.000 It makes it hard.

02:01:10.000 I mean, imagine every fight you had five to one odds.

02:01:14.000 It's brutal. And so to only miss it by 2,500 votes.

02:01:17.000 But I love that that wasn't enough to be like, okay, well, it didn't work out.

02:01:20.000 I'll go back to doing something else.

02:01:22.000 I love... Joe, that you're in the fight.

02:01:24.000 I love the way you're fighting it.

02:01:25.000 It matters. So, guys, go check him out.

02:01:41.000 I told you about Gold Co.

02:01:42.000 earlier in the show.

02:01:43.000 You know, if you want to diversify your portfolio, if you think, as I do, that that's more important than ever, Gold and silver can protect your retirement savings from inflation and dollar devaluation and also protect it from the insanity that is the decision-making process of these radical leftists, Right? Owning tangible, physical, inflation hedging gold

02:02:09.000 and silver can diversify that portfolio.

02:02:12.000 So check them out. Go to DonJrGold.com.

02:02:57.000 Mobile.

02:02:59.000 America's only Christian conservative wireless provider.

02:03:02.000 Frankly, the only wireless provider that I'm even aware of that hasn't gone fully woke.

02:03:07.000 AT&T's parent company is trying to cancel OAN and Newsmax off of cable because they're conservative.

02:03:12.000 It's crazy to me.

02:03:14.000 So you're going to have a cell phone in your pocket.

02:03:16.000 Support Patriot Mobile who puts your values...

02:03:20.000 First, they donate a portion of every dollar they earn to support groups to fight for the things that we believe in.

02:04:04.000 Now, so for those of you who are over there, we'll click over.

02:04:07.000 I'm probably going to have to do that remote because I'm going with Joe right now, as soon as I get done with that, to a fundraiser.

02:04:14.000 But I'll do it on the way before we get there, trying to make sure that we get guys like this elected and or re-elected.

02:04:23.000 We need to fight for our country.

02:04:25.000 Everything is on the table.

02:04:27.000 The other side has made that abundantly clear.

02:04:30.000 So don't sit it out.

02:04:31.000 Don't feel broken. 0.99

02:04:34.000 Don't go coral in a corner and suck your thumb crying for mommy. 0.99

02:04:38.000 That's what they want. Stay engaged. 0.99
