Triggered - Donald Trump Jr - Builders vs Breakers: Woke Smithsonian Insanity Exposed! LIVE | Triggered Ep.361

00:05:25.000 Hey guys, welcome to another huge episode of Triggered.

00:05:28.000 I hope everyone's doing well this Thursday.

00:05:32.000 We've got a packed one today. 0.91

00:05:33.000 More woke insanity from the Smithsonian because, you know, if you believe in objectivity and politeness, you may be a white supremacist. 0.69

00:05:44.000 We'll explain or at least try to shortly.

00:05:48.000 Plus, in New Jersey, it turns out thousands, thousands of non citizens, and maybe even more, are on the voter rolls.

00:05:59.000 And some of them, of course, even voted.

00:06:02.000 Hmm.

00:06:03.000 I was assured by the fake news media that this was just a conspiracy theory, that this could not and would not ever happen.

00:06:12.000 And yet, here we are.

00:06:15.000 It happened.

00:06:16.000 Just like me and probably all of you said it was happening.

00:07:02.000 Let's just get the word out.

00:07:04.000 And of course, don't forget about our brave sponsors for having the guts to support this program.

00:07:10.000 America just celebrated its 250th birthday, and it's the perfect time to experience our history for yourself.

00:07:17.000 From Gettysburg to Independence Hall, from presidential homes to national battlefields, the Heritage Guide to Historic Sites helps families explore America's most important places with confidence. 0.97

00:07:28.000 Okay, none of the woke crap.

00:07:30.000 The guide helps you fight back against the rewriting of America's past, with each site reviewed for historical accuracy so you can explore the greatest that America has to offer. 0.85

00:07:41.000 It's true history that you can actually learn.

00:07:44.000 To learn more, go to heritage.orgslash Don Jr. 1.00

00:07:49.000 That's heritage.orgslash D O N J R. 1.00

00:07:53.000 And also, guys, don't forget to protect your cell phone freedom. 1.00

00:07:56.000 Cell phone carriers use mobile locking to trap your phone on their network, keeping you stuck.

00:08:01.000 With high prices when switching could save you like $1,000 a year.

00:08:04.000 That's a really big deal.

00:08:07.000 Americans are fed up.

00:08:08.000 93% of voters say switching carriers should be just as easy as keeping your number, and I happen to agree.

00:08:14.000 You should be able to take your phone without being locked into their rules.

00:08:18.000 If you agree, it's time to speak up.

00:08:20.000 Tell officials you want cell phone freedom. 0.80

00:08:25.000 This is paid for by the Bull Moose Project. 0.95

00:08:27.000 Again, that's cell phone freedom. 0.53

00:08:30.000 Now, with all of that, Let's get into it.

00:08:34.000 And let's start with some new job numbers.

00:08:39.000 Initial jobless claims, that's Americans filing for unemployment for the first time, just fell to the lowest level since 1969.

00:08:50.000 1969, guys, that's like a decade before I was born.

00:08:53.000 Okay, that's a big deal.

00:08:56.000 Strangely, again, why I ask you to always like, share, and subscribe, you don't hear anyone talking about this in the mainstream media.

00:09:04.000 Notice how quiet it is out there.

00:09:06.000 You know, they like to say the economy's dead.

00:09:07.000 I don't know.

00:09:08.000 Jobless claims are the lowest since 1969.

00:09:10.000 That's like 60 years.

00:09:14.000 Notice how quiet it is out there because you know exactly how this works.

00:09:19.000 If jobless claims hit a 57 year high this morning, you'd already know the number by heart.

00:09:27.000 Meaning, if there are a lot of people out of work, you'd be hearing about it all day long.

00:09:31.000 People in work, eh, we're just gonna neglect that.

00:09:35.000 We're gonna not cover it and pretend like it isn't so.

00:09:40.000 If it was a disaster, it would be on every Chiron, every front page, every late night monologue.

00:09:46.000 There'd be a special graphic and somber music.

00:09:49.000 But think about everything the so called experts told you was going to happen.

00:09:53.000 Remember that the tariffs were going to crash the economy, the tax cuts were a giveaway to the rich.

00:09:58.000 There'd be a recession by spring, then by summer, then by fall, then by spring again.

00:10:05.000 They've been predicting that recession for a year and a half, and it keeps not showing up.

00:10:12.000 And manufacturing?

00:10:13.000 Oh, manufacturing was never coming back, right?

00:10:17.000 Those jobs were gone forever.

00:10:19.000 How many times do we hear that?

00:10:21.000 We were all supposed to learn to code and, you know, whatnot.

00:10:25.000 Remember when Obama literally asked what magic wand anyone had to bring those jobs back home?

00:10:31.000 You know, what magic wand?

00:10:33.000 Well, it turns out the wand was pretty simple Donald Trump.

00:10:38.000 And, you know, I don't know, stop punishing the people who build things in America.

00:10:43.000 Maybe, maybe, just maybe, start rewarding them.

00:10:48.000 Because a little over a year after the working families tax cuts were signed into law, The boom is showing up exactly where Washington swore it could not.

00:11:00.000 Machine shops, factory floors, small manufacturers in towns the political class stopped visiting decades ago.

00:11:08.000 Check out the press secretary talking about just that.

00:11:11.000 A year after President Trump signed the working families tax cuts into law, this historic legislation continues to deliver on its promise, unleashing a genuine boom for American workers, families, and small businesses.

00:11:26.000 The numbers speak for themselves.

00:11:28.000 This was the biggest tax refund season in American history, with the average refund exceeding $3,400, an 11% increase over the last year.

00:11:39.000 American families and workers claimed $82 billion in direct tax relief, and 97% of filers received a tax cut.

00:11:48.000 More than 29 million workers claimed no tax on overtime.

00:11:52.000 More than 35 million seniors claimed no tax on Social Security.

00:11:56.000 And nearly 8 million workers claimed no tax on tips.

00:12:00.000 Thanks to the other pro growth.

00:12:02.000 Pro growth provisions in the working families tax cuts, like making the 20% small business tax deduction permanent and delivering 100% expensing for new factories, equipment, and research, the Trump administration is setting up American manufacturers and workers to thrive like never before.

00:12:21.000 And those, you know, they're not abstractions.

00:12:24.000 A medical technology manufacturer in Maryland is projecting more than 50% growth over the next five years.

00:12:30.000 A defense manufacturer in New York putting a million and a half dollars into new precision machining equipment.

00:12:37.000 Because for the first time in years, probably decades, they have the certainty to actually invest in themselves.

00:12:45.000 That's real iron, real steel on real shop floors in America.

00:12:51.000 And every one of those machines is a job.

00:12:55.000 And every one of those jobs is a mortgage payment, a little league team, a family that doesn't need a government program because dad or mom has a paycheck that actually works again.

00:13:07.000 And for the next generation, there are the Trump accounts.

00:13:11.000 For decades, Washington handed your children exactly one inheritance, and that was debt, trillions of dollars of it.

00:13:21.000 And their name was on the IOU. 1.00

00:13:25.000 It's like dumb and dumber. 1.00

00:13:26.000 That's a Lambo. 1.00

00:13:27.000 You may want to hold on to that one. 0.78

00:13:29.000 Now, young Americans get an actual stake in the country, an account that grows with the economy.

00:13:36.000 Their parents are actually rebuilding.

00:13:39.000 When you punish work, you get less of it.

00:13:42.000 When you reward investment, you get more of it.

00:13:45.000 When you hand kids debt, you get cynics.

00:13:48.000 When you hand them a stake, you get people who want to actually build.

00:13:52.000 That was true in 1969 when we went to the moon.

00:13:56.000 And it's true today.

00:13:59.000 For decades, this country ran a giant experiment in consequence free everything.

00:14:05.000 Cross the border illegally?

00:14:06.000 No consequences.

00:14:07.000 Defraud a government program?

00:14:09.000 No consequences.

00:14:10.000 Attack a ship? 0.90

00:14:12.000 Burn a building, rob the taxpayer, murder someone, basically no consequence.

00:14:17.000 That era is over, and you can see it everywhere you look.

00:14:22.000 Start at the border and, you know, our hemisphere where we're focused for a change.

00:14:26.000 This week in Puerto Rico, Border Patrol and air and marine agents working with local law enforcement intercepted 37 smuggled aliens trying to sneak into the country.

00:14:37.000 And the message DHS put out afterwards was not exactly diplomatic.

00:14:42.000 Check it out.

00:15:32.000 We will hunt you down.

00:15:34.000 That's it.

00:15:36.000 That's the entire policy in five words.

00:15:38.000 And it works.

00:15:40.000 And look, I was saying this 10 years ago when the entire expert class swore that a secure border was somehow impossible or racist or homophobic or just a fantasy.

00:15:52.000 Under Biden, the cartels did their market research.

00:15:55.000 The product they were selling was you'll be released by Tuesday with a court date in 2031 or maybe 3022.

00:16:03.000 And business boomed for the cartels.

00:16:06.000 We get stuck paying for all those things the healthcare drain, the education drain, the infrastructure drain, the free giveaways drain, you know, no big deal.

00:16:16.000 Now the product is you'll be caught, detained, and sent home.

00:16:21.000 It's just not worth it.

00:16:23.000 And the customers, because of that, are disappearing.

00:16:26.000 Deterrence is not a theory, it's just what happens when people believe you actually mean it for a change.

00:16:34.000 And remember what every single one of those 37 people represents.

00:16:38.000 Somebody paid a smuggler.

00:16:40.000 Somebody got loaded onto a boat by a criminal organization that would have left them to drown without second thought.

00:16:46.000 And closing the border is the single most humane thing any administration has done in decades.

00:16:53.000 And last night, DHS announced that Border Patrol agents in Vermont, the northern border, by the way, the one no one ever talks about, arrested one of the FBI's most wanted fugitives.

00:17:06.000 An Indian national, an outstanding warrant for kidnapping, and a criminal history that includes charges for murder and criminal conspiracy.

00:17:15.000 Check it out.

00:17:16.000 Tonight, about the arrest of an FBI most wanted fugitive in Vermont.

00:17:20.000 On Friday, we told you Indian national 26 year old Nidish Kousel was arrested in Alberg.

00:17:27.000 He was wanted for his alleged involvement in gang activity, including kidnappings.

00:17:32.000 Authorities believe he's associated with an organized crime group known as the Bhagwan Puria, OCG.

00:17:39.000 Today, the FBI says he was caught when a resident of Blair Road in Alberg called police to report someone trying to break into their home.

00:17:48.000 He's now in custody of the FBI.

00:17:51.000 Authorities say he has a lengthy criminal history.

00:17:55.000 What's that now?

00:17:55.000 Like five of the top 10 most wanted, maybe six of the top 10 most wanted fugitives by the FBI in a year and a half?

00:18:02.000 And I think what was it?

00:18:03.000 Zero under Joe Biden?

00:18:05.000 I mean, think about it.

00:18:06.000 One of the most wanted men in America taken off the street by the same agency.

00:18:11.000 Democrats spent years trying to defund, demonize, and bury in paperwork.

00:18:17.000 The agents they call the threat just caught an accused kidnapper.

00:18:22.000 The people they wanted to abolish are the reason he's in custody tonight.

00:18:27.000 At some point, you'd think, I don't know, maybe an apology would be in order.

00:18:30.000 But if I were you, I would not hold my breath.

00:18:34.000 I know that I won't.

00:18:35.000 Now, I want you to remember what it looked like when nobody was hunting down anyone, because this week, we got the most brutal reminder imaginable.

00:18:46.000 Over the weekend in Salisbury, North Carolina, three people were killed in a hit and run.

00:18:50.000 Three lives, one night, one driver who didn't even stop.

00:18:57.000 And yesterday, DHS confirmed the man charged is an illegal alien from El Salvador.

00:19:02.000 I'm shocked.

00:19:03.000 I'm shocked.

00:19:04.000 It's almost like, huh.

00:19:08.000 Like when someone shoots up a school, you say, we probably know where it came from, we probably know who it is.

00:19:12.000 When you hear about one of these murderous hit and runs, kind of know how many of them are illegal aliens.

00:19:17.000 It seems like almost all of them.

00:19:19.000 He was already in the system.

00:19:21.000 He was arrested in Baltimore over a decade ago, a decade.

00:19:25.000 He was turned over to ICE.

00:19:27.000 He was in federal hands, and the Obama administration released him right back into American streets.

00:19:33.000 No problem.

00:19:34.000 Just get back out there, guys.

00:19:35.000 What could go wrong?

00:19:36.000 Check it out.

00:19:38.000 Remnants of a fatal crash investigation still linger along Mooresville Road near Town Court.

00:19:44.000 According to Salisbury Police, officers arrived to the scene around 10 45 on Saturday night.

00:19:49.000 I heard people screaming and all that, and they pulled the man out.

00:19:57.000 And as they pulled him out, he started screaming.

00:20:01.000 Police say they found one car with three people inside.

00:20:04.000 Two of them died at the scene.

00:20:06.000 The other was airlifted for medical treatment, but later passed as well.

00:20:11.000 Quindell Woods didn't want to show his face on camera, but tells me he walked out of his front door to the horrific scene.

00:20:18.000 I mean, it's, it's, it's, it's wrenching.

00:20:22.000 I mean, it hurts.

00:20:24.000 I mean, I felt it, even though I'm not the family member, but I felt that whole thing.

00:20:30.000 I mean, I just prayed that God was with him.

00:20:32.000 Police say the driver of the second car involved.

00:20:35.000 Javier Penezola has been charged with felony hit and run after a police canine team tracked the suspect away from the crash site.

00:20:43.000 Penezola's car was found in a creek not far from the scene.

00:20:48.000 Three families are planning funerals right now because 10 years ago, some a hole in Washington decided, you know, enforcement was mean.

00:20:57.000 He was in custody.

00:20:58.000 He was handed over.

00:21:00.000 Every single off ramp was right there.

00:21:03.000 And the system opened the door and waved.

00:21:06.000 DHS said it straight.

00:21:08.000 These deaths were 100% preventable.

00:21:11.000 Of course they were.

00:21:13.000 You just needed someone to actually do their job, allow them to do their job, allow them to actually just, I don't know, follow the law.

00:21:20.000 If your definition of compassion comes with a body count, maybe it's not compassion, guys.

00:21:26.000 Don't lecture this country about kindness while the victims of your policy are being buried.

00:21:32.000 Don't lecture us about kindness when you don't even acknowledge these families and the burden you put on them and the disasters that have unfolded.

00:21:39.000 How many times now?

00:21:40.000 Dozens.

00:21:41.000 Feels like every show I talk about yet another one of these.

00:21:45.000 Totally preventable if someone just enforced our law.

00:21:50.000 And the new era of actual accountability isn't stopping at the border.

00:21:53.000 And that's important because that's a big one, but there's a lot more.

00:21:57.000 Because the fraud guys are having a very bad summer as well.

00:22:02.000 Understand how this worked for years.

00:22:04.000 They bill the government programs for equipment nobody receives, patients who don't exist.

00:22:11.000 Services that never actually happened.

00:22:13.000 They move the money offshore, layer it through shell companies, probably kick it back to Democrats, and operate on one simple assumption nobody's coming.

00:22:24.000 Washington treated fraud like the weather.

00:22:27.000 Unfortunate, unavoidable, nobody's fault.

00:22:31.000 It's just a line item.

00:22:32.000 Well, the FBI just spent five weeks proving that assumption very wrong.

00:22:37.000 Check out the FBI director talking about just that.

00:22:39.000 President Trump and Vice President Vance stood up the task force against fraud.

00:22:44.000 And the FBI is leading out on that initiative thanks to their resourcing and support.

00:22:47.000 And thanks to your great coverage.

00:22:48.000 Sean, just think about this.

00:22:50.000 In the last five weeks, the FBI has gone on an international manhunt and captured not one, not two, but three of the most wanted fraudsters in the world for a total of almost $2 billion, Sean, that should have gone to children and our elderly.

00:23:04.000 This is not a political issue.

00:23:05.000 The president has made it abundantly clear we are going to secure American taxpayer dollars, our precious treasure, for our most precious treasure, our children and our seniors.

00:23:13.000 And we did that.

00:23:14.000 We manhunted all the way to Somalia and captured Abdul. 0.57

00:23:17.000 We manhunted all the way to the Philippines and captured Kimball. 0.64

00:23:20.000 And then we manhunted all the way to the Middle East and worked with our international partners and brought back Satari, who you just referenced, who was alone responsible for $547 million in fraud that was supposed to go to seniors.

00:23:31.000 This FBI embedded partnering with our great federal partners and our state and local partners.

00:23:37.000 And thanks to President Trump's engagement on the global scale, partnerships around the world have never been better, which is why we are able to bring these fugitives back who have been on the run for years to America to face justice.

00:23:49.000 And Sean, the FBI does all foreign transfer of custody. 0.99

00:23:52.000 We call them FTOCs. 0.71

00:23:53.000 We send special assets out across the world to secure and apprehend these individuals. 0.89

00:23:58.000 Sean, in the last 30 days, 27 FTOCs have been executed by this FBI. 0.95

00:24:04.000 That means 27 fugitives, not just fraudsters, gang members, rapists, murderers, terrorists, narco traffickers, have all been brought back to the United States. 0.50

00:24:11.000 And under President Trump, Sean, that is a record for the FBI.

00:24:15.000 And that is just one month.

00:24:17.000 Well done.

00:24:19.000 Three of the most wanted fraudsters on the planet.

00:24:23.000 Almost $200 billion.

00:24:26.000 Think about what that money could do in your neighborhood.

00:24:29.000 Hunted down across international borders.

00:24:32.000 That's the anti fraud task force my father and JD Vance stood up, actually doing the job. 0.99

00:24:41.000 They stood it up, they're getting the job done, they're going after these scumbags.

00:24:46.000 And the director was just in Cambodia lining up an operation to dismantle the overseas scheme centers that have been robbing Americans' families from the other side of the world. 0.97

00:24:55.000 $2 billion there.

00:24:58.000 Let me put that into perspective.

00:25:00.000 That's roughly the entire annual budget of a midsize American city.

00:25:07.000 A decent sized city, not like a city you've never heard of, but like one you've probably been to numerous times.

00:25:12.000 Stolen by three guys.

00:25:14.000 That's thousands of teacher salaries, thousands of police officer salaries, entire hospital wings, and then some.

00:25:21.000 That's one hell of a hospital for $2 billion.

00:25:24.000 Gone into shell companies and offshore accounts, gone forever.

00:25:29.000 Every one of these arrests sends the same memo to the next guy.

00:25:33.000 The golden era of stealing from the American taxpayer is over.

00:25:37.000 There is no country far enough away, no shell company deep enough, and no amount of stolen money that buys you a head start that the FBI can't close.

00:25:46.000 And if you want to know how deep the no consequence era really ran, look at what just came out of New Jersey this week.

00:25:55.000 Governor Mickey Sherrill, a Democrat, of course, put out a statement this week admitting that a software error, I'm shocked, shocked to hear it.

00:26:05.000 Where are they?

00:26:06.000 Software error.

00:26:07.000 Seems they only go one way.

00:26:08.000 Always towards the Democrats.

00:26:10.000 But a software error in the state's motor vehicle system registered roughly 6,600 people, 6,600 people, to vote.

00:26:22.000 Hmm.

00:26:22.000 People who answered no when the keypad asked if they were U.S. citizens.

00:26:29.000 Think about that.

00:26:30.000 They told the state, they even told them, at least they were honest, they told them they were not citizens.

00:26:35.000 And New Jersey registered them to vote anyway.

00:26:39.000 And here's the part they'd love you to skip.

00:26:42.000 The part they really would love you just to ignore and gloss over.

00:26:47.000 By the state's own admission, hundreds of them actually cast ballots.

00:26:53.000 Again, we were told this could never happen.

00:26:57.000 This is another conspiracy.

00:26:59.000 Yet again, proven right.

00:27:02.000 Hundreds of them cast ballots that we know about.

00:27:05.000 That's what we found out.

00:27:06.000 There's probably a lot more.

00:27:08.000 They actually voted in American elections.

00:27:11.000 That's not a theory, that's counted votes.

00:27:15.000 Now remember what we've been told for years, guys. 0.94

00:27:18.000 Non citizens voting never happened.

00:27:22.000 It's a myth. 1.00

00:27:23.000 It's a conspiracy theory.

00:27:25.000 Anyone who asked for voter ID or a citizen check was like racist, trying to suppress the vote.

00:27:35.000 States got sued for trying to clean up their own roles.

00:27:37.000 Why would you want messy roles? 1.00

00:27:39.000 Why would you want non citizens on there? 1.00

00:27:41.000 Huh.

00:27:42.000 And now a Democrat governor is admitting in writing that her state put 6,600 people.

00:27:52.000 Non citizens on the rolls and hundreds of them voted.

00:27:56.000 I wonder which side they voted for, folks.

00:28:00.000 And notice the timeline.

00:28:02.000 This happens between June 2023 and June 2024.

00:28:07.000 Huh.

00:28:08.000 Strangely, right before an election, right?

00:28:10.000 Probably before the deadline to not be able to register, right?

00:28:15.000 Just shockingly, right in that time, right?

00:28:17.000 Right in a presidential year.

00:28:18.000 Huh.

00:28:18.000 I wonder if there's something to that.

00:28:20.000 I wonder if that's just another coincidence or conspiracy theory as well.

00:28:25.000 And we're finding out.

00:28:26.000 About it now.

00:28:28.000 The governor says the registrations are being pulled.

00:28:31.000 The vendor is being replaced.

00:28:33.000 There's an investigation.

00:28:34.000 It's like OJ looking for the killer.

00:28:37.000 They think they know exactly what happened.

00:28:39.000 They probably know, you know, we're going to do something about it because it's so obvious.

00:28:42.000 But if there's other stuff that's less obvious that we also know about, we'll let that slide.

00:28:49.000 Think about it, guys.

00:28:50.000 If one software error can quietly register 6,600 non citizens in one state in one year, Explain to me again why wanting citizenship verification for our elections makes you an extremist.

00:29:05.000 I can't do it.

00:29:06.000 Even if I put my lunatic Democrat hat on, I can't do it.

00:29:11.000 This is exactly what my father's been saying forever voter ID, citizenship checks, clean rolls, all common sense stuff.

00:29:21.000 All stuff that they do, by the way, all over the world and pretty much every civilized nation around, even some non civilized nations.

00:29:30.000 All of it called an attack on democracy by the same people running systems that actually register non citizens by accident.

00:29:40.000 And while we're on the subject of institutions your tax dollars fund, let's talk a little bit more about the Smithsonian.

00:29:47.000 As we told you last week, the White House put out a 162 page report on the National Museum of American History.

00:29:55.000 This is, guys, the flagship history museum of the United States, the building that holds the actual Star Spangled Banner.

00:30:03.000 And the report documents what it calls extreme political activism, anti white activism, illegal alien activism, leadership described as a radical activist cohort rewriting the American story to serve its ideology.

00:30:20.000 And this week, the museum's director was in front of Congress, where the dodging did not go well at all.

00:30:30.000 Check out Brandon Gill doing what he does very well in Congress.

00:30:36.000 Institution has promoted illegal alien activists who are explicitly working to change elections in the United States.

00:30:44.000 They tried to shift or move a sheriff's race just a few years ago, and the Smithsonian Institution highlighted them as, you know, participants in American democracy. 0.98

00:30:55.000 Foreigner lovers. 0.58

00:30:56.000 This is the stuff that the American people are so sick of seeing what should be an institution that, you know, really promotes the grandeur of the greatest country in the world. 1.00

00:31:07.000 In fact, being one that actively works against.

00:31:10.000 American values and promotes a moral system that so many Americans find repugnant.

00:31:17.000 The Smithsonian's official defense is that the museum does not take sides.

00:31:27.000 My eyes are rolling so far back in their head, they just did a 360.

00:31:29.000 I mean, there are 162 pages of receipts that say otherwise, guys, and you paid for every one of them.

00:31:39.000 You're pushing these lies with your taxpayer dollars.

00:31:43.000 One of those receipts got read into the record right there at the hearing.

00:31:47.000 Congressman Gill asked the director point blank Does the Smithsonian list politeness as an attribute of white supremacy?

00:31:58.000 The Smithsonian was promoting as a document to be upheld around that time period 2020, 2021, whatever it may have been.

00:32:07.000 Is it important to be polite?

00:32:10.000 Yes, sir.

00:32:10.000 It's also interesting because the same mass action toolkit that you're Organization has been promoting references to politeness as a defining characteristic of white supremacy culture.

00:32:24.000 Ma'am, are you a white supremacist?

00:32:27.000 No, sir.

00:32:28.000 You're not?

00:32:30.000 Can you help me square why your organization says that being polite is part of being a white supremacist?

00:32:38.000 I'm not exactly familiar with that passage of the Mass Action Toolkit, which is not what we developed.

00:32:45.000 All right, so let's get this clear.

00:32:48.000 Saying please and thank you, holding the door, showing up on time, basic common courtesy.

00:32:57.000 According to the Smithsonian, that's white supremacy.

00:33:02.000 Most parents call that, I don't know, raising your children correctly.

00:33:06.000 And don't think anyone over there is even embarrassed about it.

00:33:11.000 This week, a Manhattan Institute scholar brought up one of the receipts.

00:33:16.000 The Smithsonian promoting a document that suggests.

00:33:19.000 Objectivity.

00:33:20.000 Again, objectivity, being able to look at both sides of something, is also a tool of white supremacy.

00:33:27.000 Being objective.

00:33:32.000 It's pretty much anything that's decent and normal is apparently a tool of white supremacy.

00:33:38.000 And all he asked the CNN panel to agree on. 0.89

00:33:44.000 Like, it's insane. 0.99

00:33:47.000 It's ridiculous. 0.98

00:33:47.000 Check this out. 0.98

00:33:49.000 The Smithsonian was promoting as a.

00:33:52.000 Document to be upheld around that time period, 2020, 2021, whatever it may have been, suggested that objectivity was a tool of white supremacy. 0.86

00:33:59.000 I think we can all agree that that is facially ridiculous. 0.95

00:34:02.000 You can't. 0.98

00:34:03.000 You think objectivity is a tool of white supremacy?

00:34:06.000 I'm not going to interrupt you.

00:34:07.000 I just want to say you presume things that were not true.

00:34:10.000 Do you believe that objectivity is a tool of white supremacy?

00:34:13.000 You said we can all agree on something.

00:34:15.000 I'm just saying we don't all agree.

00:34:15.000 Can we all agree that objectivity is a tool of white supremacy?

00:34:18.000 It requires a longer discussion than we're going to have in the six minutes we have left.

00:34:21.000 I don't want to talk about it.

00:34:23.000 I just don't want you to make that point.

00:34:24.000 But you interrupted me to make that point.

00:34:26.000 Because you made an assumption about me that's not true.

00:34:28.000 So just continue on.

00:34:29.000 No, I'd like to know.

00:34:30.000 I don't want to talk about it.

00:34:31.000 I want you to continue.

00:34:31.000 Well, no, you interrupted me.

00:34:32.000 So I'm giving you the opportunity to weigh in.

00:34:34.000 Can I just do the opportunity?

00:34:37.000 Wow.

00:34:39.000 No hesitation.

00:34:40.000 No embarrassment, right?

00:34:42.000 Like, no shame.

00:34:43.000 They will defend it right to your face.

00:34:45.000 You know, they can't even say that being objective.

00:34:47.000 You think that they'd want, you know, they certainly want us to be listening to their side, but I guess they don't want.

00:34:54.000 Their side listening to us.

00:34:56.000 It only works one way.

00:34:57.000 So I guess they don't want objectivity.

00:34:59.000 You must prescribe to the narrative.

00:35:02.000 It is 100% correct, even if it's objectively false, and it doesn't matter.

00:35:07.000 These people can't even bring themselves to side with objectivity.

00:35:12.000 And we're supposed to trust them with the story of America?

00:35:16.000 We're supposed to trust these people.

00:35:18.000 They can't even be objective.

00:35:20.000 They can't even talk about anything that makes any sense.

00:35:24.000 But here's my radical proposal, guys the National Museum of American History should be pro American history.

00:35:33.000 Tell the whole story the triumphs, the failures, the whole thing.

00:35:38.000 But tell it.

00:35:40.000 As the story of the greatest country in human history, because that's what it is.

00:35:47.000 Okay?

00:35:47.000 You don't have to be objective to understand that.

00:35:50.000 There's a reason the boats only go one way, and they come here.

00:35:55.000 Millions of people from every corner of the planet are trying to get here right now.

00:35:59.000 Nobody is risking their life on a raft to reach countries that these curators apparently really love and think they're wonderful.

00:36:07.000 Yet, strangely, no one's moving there, especially not those curators.

00:36:11.000 Maybe that would be a great start if they left and went there.

00:36:15.000 And if the people running the building can't say that with a straight face, they're free to do their activism on somebody else's dime, not yours.

00:36:25.000 The flag in that building belongs to the American people, not to the faculty lounge.

00:36:31.000 And by the way, the broader smear machine is losing customers too.

00:36:37.000 Microsoft just directed its corporate giving program to stop using the SPLC's so called hate map.

00:36:43.000 The Southern Poverty Law Center, the one that was funding the Nazis to create hate crimes.

00:36:48.000 So that they could be really against the people that they're funding and collect all sorts of names.

00:36:52.000 I mean, the fact that Microsoft was funding them to begin with, since we all knew this was probably happening, is insane, but at least they've stopped.

00:37:00.000 That same map that got mainstream Christian nonprofits blacklisted from charitable matching for years, you know, think about what that map actually did.

00:37:11.000 A church food pantry gets the same label as an actual hate group, a hate group that was probably receiving money from the SPLLC, but, you know, minor details.

00:37:21.000 That's.

00:37:23.000 Insane.

00:37:24.000 That was the system.

00:37:26.000 Okay?

00:37:27.000 And if you want to see the mindset that the left wing machinery produced, just head over to ABC's The View because they served up a perfect example this week.

00:37:38.000 Sonny Hostin looked into the camera and declared that America still owes her reparations for slavery.

00:37:44.000 But interestingly, well, you know what?

00:37:48.000 Let's just go to the tape.

00:37:50.000 Let it speak for herself.

00:37:53.000 Is money joy?

00:37:54.000 Yeah.

00:37:54.000 This is not about anything else.

00:37:56.000 It's about this country trying to avoid paying African Americans our due.

00:38:01.000 Well, and also, I. Wow.

00:38:07.000 I'm a little bit in shock.

00:38:08.000 I just always thought of myself as Puerto Rican, you know, half Puerto Rican.

00:38:13.000 I didn't think I was.

00:38:15.000 My family was originally from Spain and slaveholders.

00:38:18.000 Yeah.

00:38:20.000 So, how are you feeling, my friend?

00:38:22.000 I just.

00:38:24.000 I think it's actually pretty interesting that my husband and I have shared roots.

00:38:30.000 Yeah.

00:38:31.000 So I do appreciate that.

00:38:33.000 And I think it's great for our children to know this information.

00:38:39.000 I guess it's a fact of life that this is how some people made their living.

00:38:45.000 Guys, remember, America still owes her reparations. 1.00

00:38:47.000 I mean, she's probably making millions of dollars a year being on TV as a talking head doing almost nothing.

00:38:53.000 They owe her reparations, but they left out one minor detail.

00:38:56.000 You know, when Sonny went on Finding Your Roots, the PBS, not exactly conservative media, genealogy show, it traced her mother's side of the family back to Puerto Rico, where her own ancestor turned out to be the slave owners.

00:39:13.000 I bet she still wants reparations, you know, because why not?

00:39:16.000 But wow. 0.98

00:39:19.000 So if America ever does cut that reparations check, it'll be really interesting for her. 0.86

00:39:26.000 Should she get it or should she be a perhaps a larger contributor?

00:39:29.000 And her parents, grandparents, whatever it may have been, did this and had slaves.

00:39:35.000 I don't know.

00:39:35.000 Am I supposed to cut a check?

00:39:36.000 My parents were like peasants in Europe, my great great grandparents at this time, whatever it may have been.

00:39:44.000 What's fair about that?

00:39:47.000 The larger point is, guys, the same people constantly trying to define everyone else by their worst moment or for their most out of context statement.

00:39:57.000 Who wants you to apologize for what your ancestors may have done hundreds of years ago?

00:40:01.000 They want me to pay for something that they weren't even around for.

00:40:06.000 Don't hold themselves to the same standards.

00:40:08.000 Shocking.

00:40:08.000 I'm shocked to find out that Democrats don't hold themselves to these standards.

00:40:12.000 Which sort of brings me back to where we started tonight, 1969.

00:40:18.000 I keep thinking about what that number really means.

00:40:21.000 The last time jobless claims were this low, this country built the Saturn V rocket, welders built it.

00:40:28.000 Machinists built it.

00:40:29.000 Tough working guys with steel toed boots who never got famous.

00:40:35.000 And they put the American flag on the moon.

00:40:38.000 And then, we spent 50 years telling their grandkids that work like that was beneath them.

00:40:46.000 Every kid got the same script four year degrees, six figures of student debt, or you're a failure.

00:40:53.000 Meanwhile, the guy who can weld a pressure vessel, wire the substation, Machine apart to a thousandth of an inch, probably a ten thousandth of an inch at this point, couldn't get a guidance counselor to return his calls.

00:41:09.000 Well, listen to the education secretary today because that is ending too.

00:41:15.000 Certainly believes that we should have education closest to the child.

00:41:21.000 And what that means is knowing what those child's needs are.

00:41:24.000 And education is not the same, it can't be forced top down from Washington.

00:41:28.000 We have seen, you know, throughout our country now, the shortage.

00:41:32.000 Of our skilled workforce and what we need to be able to build this new intelligent sector.

00:41:40.000 And so, not every child needs a college education.

00:41:43.000 Let's develop the skills that children have a natural propensity for and not force them into a path of education that's not going to serve them well.

00:41:52.000 We need electricians and plumbers and we need HVAC operators and we need data engineers, all of that.

00:42:01.000 So, let's provide the kind of education for them, get them into pathways.

00:42:06.000 Toward that education, starting you know, in even in elementary, middle schools, high schools.

00:42:12.000 I love high schools now that are working with our community colleges or vocational or technology schools so that there are dual diplomas when they graduate and they already have you know certificates from our trade schools so that they can go right into the workforce when they finish high school.

00:42:29.000 If they want to continue with their education and get more courses, you know, from college, that's fine.

00:42:34.000 If not, they can start earning a living.

00:42:37.000 And we know in our country today for every five.

00:42:40.000 Of our skilled workforce that are retiring, only three are coming back into the workforce.

00:42:45.000 And by 2030, if we don't close that gap, we'll be down about 2.1 million in our skilled workforce.

00:42:52.000 So, there's a lot of change that needs to happen in education, all for the good.

00:42:56.000 We're just recognizing that everything doesn't have to be four year college, but for those professions that do need it doctors, lawyers, engineers, et cetera let's provide the best education for them, but not look down our nose as we used to do for the skilled workforce because they are the ones that are in the highest demand.

00:43:18.000 That is a scary stat, especially given the way the system always worked.

00:43:21.000 For every five skilled workers retiring, only three are coming in behind them.

00:43:26.000 That's a gap, as Linda said, of more than 2 million workers by 2030.

00:43:31.000 If nothing changes, okay, that's a disaster.

00:43:34.000 So the administration is building real pathways into technical and vocational schools, treating a welding certificate with the respect that it deserves.

00:43:42.000 Remember, these are the people, remember Keystone Pipeline, they're not going to cancel it.

00:43:46.000 Then on day one, Joe Biden cancels it.

00:43:48.000 And the press gleefully told all those guys that knew how to weld, the roughnecks, and the pipe fitters, and all these things, you know, learn to code.

00:43:56.000 Hmm, turns out we need those welders.

00:43:59.000 They're the ones that aren't coming back and begging other people to pay for their degree in underwater basket weaving.

00:44:06.000 And think about the timing.

00:44:08.000 Shipyards are hiring again.

00:44:10.000 Defense manufacturers buying new machines.

00:44:13.000 Power plants that have to get built to run all of it.

00:44:16.000 Every single one of those projects needs welders, electricians, pipe fitters, machinists.

00:44:21.000 The work is coming home faster than we can train the hands to do it.

00:44:25.000 That's not a crisis.

00:44:27.000 That's the best problem this country has had in 50 years. 0.56

00:44:30.000 We just have to get out of the ridiculous mindset of the past. 0.95

00:44:33.000 You need to get a doctorate in gender studies, and then shockingly, no one's going to hire you because it's a worthless degree.

00:44:39.000 But you're really highly educated.

00:44:41.000 You're really elite.

00:44:42.000 You're really elite, but you can't pay your bills.

00:44:43.000 You can't pay your debt.

00:44:44.000 You can't do anything.

00:44:46.000 You add nothing to society, but you're a doctor.

00:44:48.000 Congratulations.

00:44:50.000 And that's the whole comeback, guys, in one policy.

00:44:52.000 The jobs are coming back, the factories are coming back, and now we're training the Americans who are going to fill them, the kids who will build the ships, the data centers, the power plants, whatever the next Saturn V turns out to be.

00:45:06.000 We're going to build it here in America.

00:45:09.000 The lessons of tonight's show is pretty simple, guys.

00:45:12.000 Consequences came back and America started working again.

00:45:16.000 Enforcing the border and the smuggling stops.

00:45:20.000 Hunt the fraudsters and the stealing stops.

00:45:23.000 Back the builder and America builds again.

00:45:28.000 None of this was complicated.

00:45:30.000 It took people willing to actually do it.

00:45:32.000 Like my father has always said all we needed was a new president.

00:45:37.000 So, I think we got a couple minutes left.

00:45:38.000 Maybe I'll go to some questions.

00:45:39.000 I don't see the chat up on the screen.

00:45:42.000 We can throw it up there.

00:45:43.000 So, guys, if you have any questions, we'll have a little fun.

00:45:49.000 I got into trouble on Monday, I guess, because people asked about how much cocaine I did today.

00:45:54.000 It's the usual nonsense.

00:45:57.000 And they're, oh my God, Don Jr.'s talking about cocaine.

00:45:59.000 I'm talking about, like I just said, I don't know.

00:46:02.000 If I am what the internet says I am, which is apparently the world's largest cokehead, you'd think someone would have seen a picture. 0.99

00:46:09.000 A video. 0.99

00:46:10.000 You know, the other famous cokeheads in political families, they all seem to be out, yet, hmm, strange. 0.99

00:46:15.000 It's almost like they don't do it. 1.00

00:46:19.000 I know, I know.

00:46:21.000 It's hard to believe.

00:46:22.000 You know, all the tabloid stuff.

00:46:24.000 I've got a lot of clickbait on that one, so, you know, it's okay.

00:46:26.000 I'll keep addressing it, and people will keep showing zero evidence of it because, again, maybe I just don't do it.

00:46:36.000 Ah, would I ever go back on the view again?

00:46:38.000 Sure.

00:46:39.000 You know, I did the view.

00:46:41.000 You know, I.

00:46:41.000 I don't really care.

00:46:42.000 I don't know that it does anything.

00:46:43.000 I just, I think at this point, you know, when I did it last time, it was like 2017.

00:46:48.000 I think it was their 5,000th episode.

00:46:50.000 By the way, if you guys want something interesting, after you check out our sponsors, after you like, share, and subscribe to the podcast, go look up my thing on The View.

00:46:59.000 And I was actually kind of nice because, you know, if I go in there and I just come out like guns blazing, you know, then they say, oh, even if it's five on one, like they'll say, Don's a terrible person.

00:47:08.000 He's too aggressive, whatever it may be.

00:47:10.000 You know, so I let him go.

00:47:11.000 I let him go.

00:47:12.000 I let him go.

00:47:13.000 And then I hit back and it did not work out so well for them.

00:47:16.000 And, you know, I figured, hey, Be prepared for all things.

00:47:20.000 But, you know, they asked me on there to talk about my book.

00:47:22.000 That was my book triggered at the time.

00:47:23.000 And, you know, I was on for the entire, you know, 5,000th episode of The View.

00:47:27.000 And I did not get one question about the book.

00:47:30.000 I got attacked.

00:47:30.000 And after a while, I was like, okay, now it's time to fight back.

00:47:32.000 And I did.

00:47:33.000 And I just, man, I wish I could get, what is that on ABC?

00:47:37.000 Yeah, I wish I could get them to release like the footage from the commercial breaks.

00:47:42.000 I literally had Whoopi MFing the crowd.

00:47:44.000 Like, I won over a crowd of New Yorkers.

00:47:46.000 It's like 150 people in the audience, whatever it is.

00:47:48.000 I think I got like 10 people to bring of my own.

00:47:50.000 So it's, you know, 15 to 1, and I got them all on my side, which was interesting.

00:47:55.000 And whoopi lost her mind.

00:47:56.000 I think Joy actually sort of gave me a like, well done at the end of it because she's like, you know, maybe a little bit insane, but like, you know, she, I guess, understands the game and realized they made a big mistake.

00:48:07.000 But, you know, the problem is they're just not used to anyone ever pushing back because everyone always needs something from them.

00:48:14.000 Me, I could care less.

00:48:16.000 But yeah, go check that one out.

00:48:17.000 Baptist Bob, Don Jr.'s audience is 55 plus.

00:48:20.000 Actually, you're wrong.

00:48:21.000 The demographic based on polling that I've seen that I've not.

00:48:25.000 Been a part of, says that I actually do best with 35 and under.

00:48:29.000 So, you know, you can say that it's all just because I may be, you know, talking conservative talking points, but where I do best is 35 and under.

00:48:39.000 So that's kind of a big one, but good try.

00:48:41.000 Don, I remember you got deputized a few years ago.

00:48:46.000 Have you arrested anyone yet?

00:48:47.000 No, not officially, but, you know, local law enforcement's always been really good to us, and we try to do whatever we can to support them.

00:48:54.000 So, Yeah, I haven't got a chance to arrest anyone yet, but you never know.

00:48:59.000 Covering a joy, JD did a great job on The View.

00:49:01.000 Yeah, he did too.

00:49:02.000 You know, he was probably calmer than what I was, but they also, I mean, they were, well, they were exactly what you expect.

00:49:08.000 They just came out swinging.

00:49:10.000 I had a couple other good ones that was just, I had a couple good ones for some that I was just thinking about, you know, and I was like, you know what, it's too early. 0.99

00:49:17.000 If I attack this hard this early, it's just going to go way, way to shit. 0.93

00:49:24.000 But so I held back and I, you know, at this point, I sort of wish I would have gone. 0.99

00:49:29.000 Even further, all in.

00:49:31.000 But I think if you go check it out, I think you'll be pretty happy anyway.

00:49:39.000 Let's see.

00:49:46.000 Do you think the Smithsonian institutions should be defunded of government funding?

00:49:50.000 I think if they peddle BS and they're functioning as woke activists, yes.

00:49:55.000 I mean, I think it's an important thing to preserve our history, but not to bastardize it.

00:50:01.000 And, you know, Try to change it to the woke narrative of the day.

00:50:09.000 Do you agree with Dilly with what I guess what he said about JD Vance?

00:50:13.000 What he posts on X makes sense.

00:50:15.000 Nothing goes over your father's head without disapproval.

00:50:18.000 Yeah, I think I know what you're talking about.

00:50:19.000 I mean, he basically made the point.

00:50:22.000 This is Brendan Dilly, good dude, supermagad.

00:50:25.000 There's a lot of cool meme stuff on our site.

00:50:28.000 He basically said, like, all these, you see a lot of the neocons, it's definitely not an op, right?

00:50:33.000 Like, all the neocons trying to attack JD.

00:50:36.000 Like, he's going rogue from Trump.

00:50:38.000 I'm like, listen, they say it about me because I'll defend JD and I'll defend a lot of these decisions and I'll say that, oh, John Jr. too.

00:50:46.000 It's like, do you think the vice president appointed by my father works for him, has done everything he has?

00:50:55.000 Do you think he's gone rogue and my father would not say something, not just privately, but also quite publicly? 0.92

00:51:02.000 Do you think that if my father disagreed with something that I'm doing, he wouldn't be like, hey, man, shut the hell up?

00:51:11.000 I don't like it.

00:51:13.000 No one's gone rogue.

00:51:15.000 These are people in his administration.

00:51:16.000 And this time around, unlike the first administration, the people that are in there are actually loyal to the president, not.

00:51:20.000 Sort of loyal to the DC swamp and trying to wait it out.

00:51:24.000 So, yeah, I think Brendan Dillon was 100% right on that.

00:51:26.000 Like, you know, people may not like it. 0.97

00:51:28.000 They're trying to create a divide, but what they are really doing is just cowards. 0.82

00:51:34.000 They don't like perhaps what my father's doing. 0.94

00:51:36.000 It's not neocon enough.

00:51:37.000 It's not, you know, America last enough, whatever it may be. 0.98

00:51:40.000 But they don't have the balls to attack my father because, you know, that would cause problems for them.

00:51:45.000 So they do it under the guise of attacking whether it's me, whether it's JD, other people who are, you know, Doing what the administration wants. 0.97

00:51:54.000 I see what they're doing and I follow suit.

00:51:56.000 I don't talk to him about the administration that much, but I kind of know where he's at.

00:51:59.000 I've been sort of in this game for 10 years now. 0.87

00:52:03.000 But again, if I was going rogue and so different, you don't think he'd call and be like, hey, Don, shut the hell up. 0.90

00:52:08.000 Of course he would. 0.59

00:52:09.000 Hey, I don't appreciate that.

00:52:11.000 It's making my life difficult.

00:52:13.000 You think my father, I know he's really, he's such a wallflower.

00:52:16.000 He's so quiet, he would never say anything.

00:52:20.000 But the people who are attacking JD and me, a lot of me this week trying to rope a. 0.99

00:52:26.000 Yeah, no, they just don't have the balls to attack my father. 0.97

00:52:29.000 They're pushing their neocon BS, and I think they're getting owned. 0.99

00:52:34.000 Now, you'll see it on Twitter.

00:52:35.000 Oh my God, it's a big thing.

00:52:37.000 I love Twitter, play there a lot, I think it's great.

00:52:40.000 But it's also not the real world at all times.

00:52:43.000 And so these things are actually very popular. 0.84

00:52:46.000 And so just because you try to make someone unpopular on social, and by the way, when you see the people who are attacking, it's the usual clowns. 0.59

00:52:52.000 They hated Trump in 16, they hated him in 20, they hated him in 24. 0.68

00:52:56.000 They come around when he wins because they have no choice. 0.92

00:52:59.000 You know, they're cowards and they're going to do what they actually do. 0.69

00:53:01.000 And by the way, when they go against you, that's usually like the greatest endorsement ever. 0.97

00:53:07.000 Okay.

00:53:08.000 They're people that think they have a lot more power and carry a lot more weight than they actually do.

00:53:11.000 So, yeah, I'm not worried about that at all.

00:53:13.000 And I think Brendan Dilley was 100% right.

00:53:17.000 Let's see.

00:53:19.000 Yeah, you're over the target, Mark Mai.

00:53:23.000 Let's see.

00:53:30.000 The Trump pimp hand is strong.

00:53:32.000 Yeah, by the way, you know, and Duncan 16.

00:53:37.000 Yeah, exactly.

00:53:38.000 Like, I promise you, anyone who's watched my father for like a decade is like, if he disagrees with you, he is not afraid to say it.

00:53:43.000 He's not going to be like, I don't really like it, but I'm just going to be quiet about it.

00:53:46.000 Like, give me a break. 0.91

00:53:49.000 Yeah, the same people who are attacking are usually the losers.

00:53:53.000 Lancelot TM, thank you for all the hard work.

00:53:55.000 I appreciate it.

00:53:56.000 Thank you.

00:53:58.000 Thoughts on Rubio's Cuban report?

00:54:00.000 I actually haven't had a chance to read it yet.

00:54:01.000 I had a really busy work week yet.

00:54:03.000 So, I have not seen it, but let's check it out, guys, and we'll get me the details.

00:54:08.000 We'll talk about it on the next show.

00:54:14.000 But yeah, I apologize.

00:54:16.000 I could wax poetic about it, but I don't want to talk about a report I haven't actually checked out or fully read just yet.

00:54:24.000 Thanks, Lance.

00:54:26.000 Okay.

00:54:30.000 Almost collected enough feet pics.

00:54:32.000 What are we talking about here?

00:54:34.000 This is going off the rails particularly early.

00:54:38.000 That's what is the.

00:54:42.000 Did I miss like a feet pick thread or something like that earlier?

00:54:47.000 Like, that's sort of a random one. 0.98

00:54:52.000 Yeah, just like a New Yorker.

00:54:53.000 Yeah, like, you know, exactly.

00:54:54.000 Like, my father tells you what he's thinking.

00:54:56.000 Like, you know, if there's one person that will, you know, will tell you what he's actually thinking, it's Donald Trump.

00:55:01.000 And I think literally, like, no sane person, no person with like a functioning brain who's watched for years could.

00:55:07.000 You know, ever say otherwise, but oh, they're breaking with it.

00:55:10.000 It's like, oh, yeah, I'm breaking with it.

00:55:11.000 I've been breaking with it for months and yet haven't ever got that call.

00:55:15.000 It's almost like, it's almost like the actual policy of the administration is not what all of the neocons want.

00:55:22.000 It's shocking, but you know, we won't go after Trump, so we'll try to go after those around him.

00:55:26.000 You know, you think my dad's not calling JD and be like, hey, man, I disagree with this.

00:55:30.000 Never happened.

00:55:31.000 I've never heard it.

00:55:32.000 So, but you know, they'll keep doing their thing.

00:55:34.000 Just got to understand that just because you read it from a couple of those guys, you know, go back, read some of their tweets from You know, let's call it 2019 or you know, shortly after January 6th or one of these things and see where these people really are.

00:55:50.000 Um, let's see.

00:55:57.000 Don Hope all is going well.

00:55:58.000 We need as a nation to save America, act passed.

00:56:01.000 I agree, like that's that's literally uh the biggest bearweeking.

00:56:07.000 Uh, your oldest killed it at the Espies.

00:56:09.000 Thank you.

00:56:09.000 Yeah, no, Kai did a great job there.

00:56:10.000 It was uh, it was really funny.

00:56:13.000 Um When she sunk that really long putt and then Kevin Hart started talking crap and then missed it, that was actually really cute and funny.

00:56:23.000 Can't believe how big she's getting.

00:56:25.000 It's a little scary.

00:56:27.000 Kai can lift 214.

00:56:28.000 I saw that on like the, I was like, man, that seems like a lot.

00:56:32.000 I don't know.

00:56:34.000 I got to get with Kai and put her in the squat rack.

00:56:35.000 Now, you know, those are all seated, so maybe it's a little different, but like 215 at her weight and height, that's pretty impressive.

00:56:44.000 I'm so grateful that your dad has a spine and your family is covered in prayer here.

00:56:47.000 Thank you so much.

00:56:48.000 We really need that.

00:56:52.000 Don, why are mass deportation so low?

00:56:55.000 Listen, if they're low, I don't think they're low.

00:56:57.000 I think a lot of people are self deporting.

00:57:00.000 I think they probably got through, and it's a couple million people now, they probably got through the easy stuff.

00:57:06.000 And then don't forget, the Biden administration spent years sending people on planes to every little town in America.

00:57:11.000 It's not that easy to find.

00:57:13.000 It's hard to go to a small town in America and be like, send me your three illegals or 100.

00:57:18.000 It's not like they congregated in one city where you can just be like, oh, well, they're in this area here. 0.99

00:57:23.000 We can just get them all.

00:57:24.000 So that's going to get a little harder, but it's going to keep going.

00:57:27.000 And if they're not getting the funding, again, I think a lot of them will go on their own. 0.58

00:57:33.000 How's Bettina doing?

00:57:34.000 Will she be on the show soon?

00:57:35.000 I got to make that happen. 0.98

00:57:36.000 She's doing great.

00:57:39.000 She puts up with me, which is not an easy task, but just been an amazing woman.

00:57:45.000 And I'm just truly blessed to have her in my life.

00:57:48.000 She's awesome.

00:57:51.000 But yes, she's doing very well.

00:57:55.000 Prayers go out to everyone in your family, you and your family.

00:57:58.000 Lancelot again.

00:57:58.000 Thank you, bud.

00:57:59.000 Appreciate it.

00:58:04.000 Was firing Bongino, a Bovino, a good decision?

00:58:08.000 Oh, that was the border guy.

00:58:10.000 You know what?

00:58:11.000 I don't know.

00:58:14.000 His shock and awe approach was effective at getting the deportations numbers up.

00:58:20.000 You know, I don't know the details of, like I said, I'm not in the administration.

00:58:23.000 So I'm watching a lot of this stuff from the side.

00:58:24.000 I know a lot of the people.

00:58:25.000 I can, you know, if I run into them casually, I could, you know, talk about it.

00:58:28.000 So I've never had that conversation.

00:58:29.000 So I don't really know.

00:58:31.000 I definitely liked some of the approach, but you got to remember, like, even if it's the right approach, even if it's the approach we like, you know, what the mainstream media then does with it and takes it and whatever, sometimes, you know, even if it's BS, you know, the noise they create can sway a majority of the population that's not necessarily paying attention.

00:58:48.000 So even if it's right, even if it's effective, sometimes, you know, the cost outweighs the benefits.

00:58:53.000 So, you know, I don't know enough about that decision, you know, in particular, but, you know, maybe that was part of the logic where it was just like, it's creating too much.

00:59:03.000 That you're actually losing people who are otherwise for a lot of these things because now they're thinking it's going too far.

00:59:08.000 So I don't know.

00:59:11.000 Baptist Bob, Andrew Gillum, Biden at 10 million, and we have less than a million.

00:59:16.000 We fudged up.

00:59:17.000 Turn away at the.

00:59:18.000 Sorry, man.

00:59:19.000 It's just a little too.

00:59:20.000 The question's too broken up.

00:59:21.000 It's not making any sense to me.

00:59:23.000 But the Andrew Gillum thing was wild, right?

00:59:24.000 I mean, that guy could have been governor of Florida.

00:59:27.000 Was he arrested on another drug or alcohol charge or whatever this week?

00:59:30.000 That was the guy that was literally going to win the Florida governor's race.

00:59:34.000 And we got involved and helped DeSantis, you know. 1.00

00:59:37.000 Uh, get over that, and he was found in, like, you know, not that there's anything wrong with that, you know, like a drug induced gay orgy. 1.00

00:59:43.000 Like, it's like this guy's the next Obama. 0.98

00:59:47.000 It's like, maybe, maybe.

00:59:50.000 Uh, it's sort of wild, but yeah, dodged a bullet on that one.

00:59:54.000 Um, let's see, let's see, yeah, less than one percent.

01:00:01.000 DeSantis won, I think it was like 45,000 votes or something like that.

01:00:04.000 It was, I mean, it was still super tight.

01:00:06.000 Like, that's you know, that's a um, that's crazy.

01:00:12.000 Please take away my real LSAT score if I take it.

01:00:16.000 Probably not, but I can't have it like Mary and Barry.

01:00:20.000 Yeah, but like Mary and Barry was a crazy guy, but fairly talented politician in DC.

01:00:25.000 I'm not condoning anyone, but that guy was in power for a long time.

01:00:29.000 Luckily, this other guy never got into power.

01:00:33.000 Let's see.

01:00:38.000 So amazing to see you up here.

01:00:39.000 Incredible.

01:00:40.000 You're the best dude.

01:00:41.000 Go, MAGA.

01:00:42.000 Go, Donald Trump Jr. II.

01:00:43.000 I appreciate it.

01:00:44.000 Well, Donald Trump Jr. II, is that my son?

01:00:46.000 Like, does that make me Donald Trump III?

01:00:48.000 Because close enough, but I appreciated Palm 367.

01:00:55.000 I'm worried about the California governor's race.

01:00:58.000 No, I mean, listen, I know our friend Steve Hilton actually got the most votes, but there's also a bunch of Democrats in it.

01:01:05.000 So, you know, the Democrats sort of split the Democrat vote.

01:01:08.000 He got most of the Republican votes.

01:01:09.000 And, you know, it's that's still, you know, a tough bid.

01:01:13.000 I mean, you got to be worried because it's probably not.

01:01:16.000 Likely, but you know, hopefully, people there are fed up.

01:01:18.000 And if we stay engaged and stay involved and get in there, you know, maybe there's a chance.

01:01:22.000 But, you know, we're always going to be worried because it's going to take a lot to turn that.

01:01:27.000 But it doesn't mean we, you know, apathy is what kills us.

01:01:30.000 So we got to be out there and we got to just, you know, get after all of it.

01:01:35.000 So, guys, awesome night.
