The government is now back up and running, and the air travel grid is back working again. But the Democrats are still trying to hold the government shut down for another 40 days. What are they up to? And why are they doing it?
00:06:31.000I've been on the road basically for two months straight.
00:06:34.000A little bit of fun, a lot of work, but it's great to be back in the studio with you guys because there's so much to cover, so much that we're going to get into.

00:09:32.000Again, text my name, Don Jr. D-O-N-J-R, to the number 989898.
00:09:40.000So guys, let's now get into all of the top headlines.
00:09:45.000And to start, our government is actually open again.
00:09:50.000The air travel grid is getting back to normal right before Thanksgiving, thank God.
00:09:55.000And Democrats are not trying to act like nothing ever happened.
00:10:01.000It's actually incredible how they can shut down the government for 40 days and then show up like it never happened.
00:10:09.000Just show up like, oh, hey guys, what's happening?
00:10:16.000Here's my father signing the continuing resolution, the CR, to get things back up and running.
00:10:24.000Republicans never wanted a shutdown and voted 15 times for a clean continuation of funding.
00:10:31.000There's never been a time when one or the other party ever didn't sign a continuation.
00:10:38.000It's just a continuation, not a big deal.
00:10:40.000It's a continuation, and we'll talk later.
00:10:43.000Yet the extremists in the other party insisted on creating the longest government shutdown in American history, and they did it purely for political reasons.
00:10:54.000For all the talk from Democrats about how, you know, the adults, you know, they're the adults.
00:11:27.000Here's Stephen Miller putting into perspective just what they're dealing with on Capitol Hill each and every day.
00:11:36.000Well, look, you've really been exactly right on tonight when you said this is all about Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries being terrified of the Mondame wing, the AOC wing of the Democrat Party, understanding that they're not in control of anything anymore.
00:12:24.000$1.5 trillion of demands, including free health care for illegal aliens, to bloat the government, to steal from taxpayers, to steal from working Americans.
00:12:33.000And at the end, after over 40 days, what do they get?
00:13:07.000The Democrats are the party of destruction.
00:13:09.000President Trump is leading the party of creation, opportunity, and wealth.
00:13:14.000And while we're cleaning up government, we're also cleaning up the massive fraud that's been bleeding taxpayers dry for years.
00:13:24.000Because one silver lining of all of this, the one good thing to come out of it, is that it forced a conversation about massive fraud inside programs like SNAP, you know, food stamps.
00:13:38.000That's a conversation that no one wanted to have, even Republicans, but definitely not Democrats.
00:13:44.000No one wanted to talk about it until now.
00:13:48.000And now, the Trump administration is rolling out new application programs to ensure that those receiving the benefits actually qualify.
00:14:01.000I know you're shocked to hear that there's billions being spent of people that didn't even qualify, that are selling them for other things.
00:14:10.000Just billions out of your, the taxpayer pockets.
00:14:15.000And now people are going to have to qualify.
00:14:18.000And they're going to actually have to be American citizens.
00:14:24.000Check out just how bad it actually is.
00:14:27.000And 20 plus others did not and we're suing.
00:14:43.00080% of the able-bodied Americans, meaning they can work, they don't have small children at home, they're not taking care of an elderly parent.
00:14:50.000They can work and they choose not to work, of course, because they're getting significant benefits from the taxpayer.
00:14:56.000So this light, Laura, that has now been shined on what is perhaps one of the most corrupt, dysfunctional programs in American history that we are working now.
00:15:06.000Very big announcements coming next week on this.
00:15:56.000Think about what Democrats have been up to.
00:15:59.000They're now all of a sudden, all of a sudden, magically, like the day after this happened, they're really concerned about Jeffrey Epstein after basically ignoring it for years.
00:16:12.000And I know many of you are concerned about it, but what did we actually learn from these bombshell emails?
00:16:20.000You know, everything's a bombshell, right?
00:16:21.000Remember, it's like the walls are closing in.
00:17:04.000Epstein hated Trump because Trump beat him in a real estate deal.
00:17:08.000So Epstein was doing everything he could to try to take down Trump.
00:17:13.000So if he had anything real, it would have come out.
00:17:17.000Not Epstein talking with his Democrat colleagues, trying to give him stuff on unrelated matters, trying to guide the questioning, because in all fairness, the Democrats aren't exactly the sharpest tools in the shed.
00:17:35.000Even people like one of the victims whose name was redacted in these emails, even though she's since deceased, who's on record under oath defending Trump, saying he never partook in those things.
00:17:47.000It's almost like they redacted her name because they wanted to create ambiguity and link Trump to these things.
00:17:55.000And then Democrats continued to do their nonsense.
00:18:00.000Again, guys, they faked a redaction of a victim who publicly testified that my father wasn't involved and couldn't implicate him in any of this stuff.
00:19:32.000And if Epstein actually had something, he would have certainly used it to take down Trump in any way, shape, or form.
00:19:41.000Remember, guys, during the impeachment hoax, the Russia hoax, and every other hoax, we saw the Democrats actively try to distort, conceal, and manipulate evidence to push outright lies and make up nonsense.
00:20:19.000When state police agencies put up fencing and barbed wire, federal guys came in with a forklift and lifted it out of the way to ensure they could get a reliable stream of Democrat voters, meaning dependents on the rosters.
00:20:35.000We had record levels of poison flowing across our border in the form of fentanyl.
00:20:42.000For example, FBI Director Kash Patel just dropped some major news about the fentanyl crisis that the previous administration basically ignored, probably covered up.
00:20:59.000This is all thanks to President Trump's brave leadership to engage directly with President Xi Jinping and make one of the pillars of his administration defeating the plague of fentanyl and illegal narcotics.
00:21:11.000And that set in motion the Attorney General to call her counterpart and designate the FBI and myself as the lead to engage in follow-up with President Trump's historic engagement with President Xi just a few weeks ago in Korea.
00:21:22.000And what was accomplished when I went to Beijing was an actual full-out agreement to concretely adhere to the notion that we will not allow fentanyl to pour into the United States of America.
00:21:37.000We know the Mexican drug traffickers are making it, but where are they getting the ingredients?
00:21:41.000The fentanyl distributed by and through companies in China.
00:21:47.000And what they have now done is pursuant to our agreement where we asked for all 13 fentanyl precursors to be designated and fully restricted and a further seven chemicals to be restricted as well.
00:21:58.000This effectively shuts off all of the chemicals and ingredients used to make fentanyl.
00:22:06.000Thanks to the Department of Justice and the FBI, we were able to get on the ground and get in the room with the Chinese for the first time ever and receive the reception that President Trump created with President Xi.
00:22:17.000And now tens of thousands of American lives have been saved by one fell swoop thanks to President Trump and this FBI.
00:22:24.000100,000 Americans dead from fentanyl every year.
00:23:34.000It always will be for as long as time existed.
00:23:38.000Just because the Democrats didn't want to believe that doesn't still make it true.
00:23:43.000Border security is also economic security.
00:23:48.000We're focused on affordability and immigration policy is a huge part of that.
00:23:54.000And while the Fed was printing money like it was going out of style under Biden, creating the worst inflation crisis in 40 years, we're getting back to basics.
00:24:04.000Here's some of the latest numbers from the White House.
00:24:08.000On another matter, I want to address the affordability issue that's received a great deal of media attention this past week, which is ironic because it didn't receive that much attention when Joe Biden was here and inflation was at a record high 9%, the worst inflation crisis in modern American history.
00:24:25.000And President Trump won a landslide election in part to address the affordability issues created by Joe Biden and the Democrats.
00:24:33.000And that's exactly what President Trump has done since day one of his administration.
00:24:39.000Since the first day in office and every day since, the Trump administration has taken aggressive action to fix the Biden-created cost of living issues.
00:24:48.000The notion that the same Democrats who just shut down the federal government to sabotage our economy, rob people of their paychecks, and also helped Joe Biden ratchet up inflation to 9% are now suddenly affordability champions.
00:25:05.000And it's something only the liberal media would have the gall to push.
00:25:09.000But the reality is that President Trump and his administration have done so much to lower prices and increase the economic prosperity of the American people.
00:25:18.000And this president and his team of amazing economic advisors are going to keep working on this issue every single day.
00:25:25.000In less than 10 short months, President Trump signed the largest middle-class tax cuts in American history, including no tax on tips, overtime, and Social Security, which will guarantee that next year, Americans are going to put more money back into their pockets.
00:25:41.000The president has completely unleashed American energy dominance to help bring gasoline prices to the lowest in five years, and we expect them to continue to decrease.
00:25:50.000And it has also lowered energy costs overall.
00:25:54.000But again, the president's deregulatory and pro-American energy agenda is absolutely going to continue to drive down prices.
00:26:02.000This formula worked in the president's first term, and we expect that it's going to work again.
00:26:07.000And this is key because we know energy costs are the number one driver of inflation.
00:26:12.000Again, just look at what Joe Biden did to our energy industry over the past four years of his administration and look at what happened to inflation as a result.
00:26:23.000To lower prescription drug prices and health care costs, the president has been working around the clock on this issue.
00:26:29.000He is obsessed with negotiating these good deals on behalf of the American people to bring down pharmaceutical costs and drug costs for Americans.
00:26:38.000And he has done so on a number of fronts.
00:26:40.000You have seen him discuss that in the Oval Office several times.
00:26:44.000To fuel small businesses, lower their costs, and incentivize hiring, the Trump administration has already cut 30 unnecessary regulations for every new one on the books, which we know will save employers and small businesses across the country thousands of dollars in regulatory burdens.
00:27:00.000All of these pro-Trump policies are working and they will continue to work.
00:27:06.000Wages are rising at the fastest pace of the start of a presidential administration in 60 years.
00:27:12.000The cost of the typical new mortgage is down by nearly $3,000 per year.
00:27:16.000There's much work to do, and this administration will continue to do it.
00:27:20.000But President Trump has already made great progress in cleaning up the economic disaster that was created by Joe Biden.
00:29:20.000You want to talk about like populism and you want to talk about people being pissed off.
00:29:25.000Well, yeah, people are pissed off when they don't have good jobs.
00:29:28.000And people are pissed off when things disappear and move overseas.
00:29:31.000And people are pissed off when they feel like other countries are being prioritized over the United States of America.
00:29:36.000And all of that is part of the populist resentment of the past 20 or 30 years in American politics.
00:29:43.000You know what really pisses people off when they realize that their loved ones are dying much sooner than everybody else.
00:29:49.000And that is a big part of the story of what's going on in Appalachia and why I think so many people in Appalachia feel left behind.
00:29:55.000I mean, my story, obviously, it's been, you know, like you said, I'm like the golden boy.
00:30:00.000Things have just worked out for me in this really incredible way.
00:30:03.000I feel so lucky and so grateful for it.
00:30:07.000But I also feel a certain sense of guilt because there are a lot of people who grew up in families like mine who haven't had an easy life and who haven't had all this economic opportunity and who haven't had a person that they fallen in love with and they've been able to sort of build a stable, nice family like Mianusha have been able to build.
00:30:25.000And that gives me a sense of purpose because I want those people to have the same opportunities that I've had.
00:30:31.000But it also gives me a great sense of anger because we never should have gotten to the point that we are today.
00:30:38.000And the reason that we have is because of failed leadership and it's failed leadership over generations.
00:30:43.000And by the way, these are, you talk about Appalachia.
00:30:46.000You were talking about people who, though they don't have much, would take the shirt off their back and give it to a complete stranger because that's what you do.
00:30:55.000If you go back to America's biggest wars, World War I, World War II, Vietnam, which were the counties that filled their draft quotas with volunteers instead of with draftees, it's very often the parts in deep Appalachia where you've got grinding poverty, but you've also got this incredible love of country.
00:31:14.000So if any place in this country deserves not to be left behind, it's Appalachia.
00:31:19.000But on the public health stuff in particular, the numbers don't look good.
00:31:23.000And it's one of the reasons why I'm such a big supporter of what you're doing, because these are people who deserve to live better, healthier lives, but they really have been left behind by this country's leadership.
00:31:33.000I think we're all tired of being lectured by so-called elites on what's best for us.
00:31:39.000And we're certainly tired of being lectured by European leaders.
00:31:42.000I feel like they got enough to worry about in their own backyards that they're not dealing with.
00:31:47.000But we're not going to get lectured by them either on how America can't secure its own borders or defend our own hemisphere.
00:31:54.000But we need to be totally focused on what's going on.
00:31:59.000And we have to be focused on Russia and Ukraine.
00:32:03.000And we need to focus on those things and climate change that even Bill Gates has come out against and said, I guess it's not really the existential crisis to humanity that I thought it was and preached for 20 years.
00:32:13.000We're not going to be lectured by these people anymore.
00:32:17.000In fact, Secretary of State Marco Rubio just put the Europeans on notice.
00:32:24.000No more free rides while American taxpayers foot the bill for their defense.
00:32:29.000And no more telling us we can't blow up drug boats and we can't secure our own neighborhoods.
00:32:41.000I don't think that the European Union gets to determine what international law is.
00:32:45.000They certainly don't get to determine how the United States defends its national security.
00:32:48.000The United States is under attack from organized criminal narco-terrorists in our hemisphere.
00:32:55.000And the president is responding in the defense of our country.
00:32:57.000I do find it interesting that all these countries want us to send, you know, and supply, for example, nuclear-capable Tomahawk missiles to defend Europe.
00:33:06.000But when the United States positions aircraft carriers in our hemisphere where we live, somehow that's a problem.
00:33:11.000So I would say that the United States is, and this president has made very clear his job is to protect the United States from threats against the United States, and that is what he's doing in this operation.
00:33:20.000Of course, the regime media, once again, is taking the side of the globalists.
00:33:35.000They're claiming these strikes are just too tough and too disproportional.
00:33:40.000And guys, I know that anyone watching has some sort of link, a degree of separation to a loved one, a friend, a colleague, a classmate that's been killed by the scourge of fentanyl coming across our border.
00:33:58.000But these people think we're too tough, a narco-terrorist?
00:35:14.000The American people have been wanting the government to do something more about the narco-terrorism in our hemisphere, and they're doing it.
00:35:22.000And so we'll, I guess, we'll see what the lawyers have to say, but I know what the American people think.
00:35:26.000And it's like, finally, somebody is taking these narco-terrorists seriously.
00:35:29.000Well, you have to be killing narco-terrorists.
00:35:31.000We don't know who the people are on the boats.
00:35:52.000They are a clear and present danger to the United States of America.
00:35:56.000They're far more of a clear and present danger than any of the crap that we've funneled trillions of dollars to over the last few decades in our never-ending wars.
00:36:05.000Clearly, more of a clear and present danger than Russia or Ukraine.
00:36:10.000They're killing 100,000 Americans a year.
00:36:17.000And if you're looking at what's happening in blue cities, you see what happens when you coddle criminals, when you treat them with kid gloves, and pretend that you can virtue signal your way to a better life or tax your way there.
00:37:11.000Corporations create them when they have banned in our communities.
00:37:15.000As mayor, I'm excited to step up and with UFCW explore public option grocery stores to fill those gaps.
00:37:23.000And speaking of total incompetence and government fantasies, do you remember a few weeks ago what CCP shills, you know, the shills for the Chinese Communist Party when they were out there promoting a groundbreaking new bridge in China?
00:37:41.000Check out what happened with their beloved state-of-the-art Communist Chinese bridge.
00:38:16.000It opened last week, collapsed this week, but sure, this is what happens when you prioritize propaganda over engineering.
00:38:26.000It's kind of like what's happening at our own universities.
00:38:30.000For example, over at UC Berkeley, the lunatics have completely taken over the asylum and are spewing disgusting left-wing violence and putting more conservative lives at risk.
00:39:07.000And finally, because it wouldn't be a week in liberal paradise without a corruption scandal, Gavin Newsom's chief of staff just got caught in another alleged massive corruption scheme.
00:39:23.000The same guys who want to lecture red states about ethics and responsibility seem to behave much differently when they think no one is looking.
00:41:10.000Homeless encampments, $7 gas, rolling blackouts, fires that are really preventable, especially if you just tapped into, I don't know, the Pacific Ocean about five yards away from where they're going on, and good old-fashioned corruption, folks.
00:41:26.000But remember, they're the ones who are going to save democracy.
00:42:28.000Law and order beats defund the police.
00:42:32.000Energy dominance beats Green New Deal poverty.
00:42:36.000And America First beats globalism every single time.
00:42:42.000Okay, I know we shouldn't even have to have this conversation.
00:42:45.000Know this is common sense to all of you.
00:42:48.000I know you guys all understand it, but it didn't matter.
00:42:51.000When they had the narrative out there, when they controlled the media, when they controlled social, when they controlled every mechanism and were able to censor the obvious truth, they still got their way.
00:43:05.000But it's because of you guys, that won't happen anymore.
00:43:08.000And it's again why I ask you guys to make sure you share these things so people see it.
00:43:14.000Like, share, subscribe, download the Rumble app, get it out there, make sure people see it.
00:43:20.000Okay, we've made one hell of a comeback, but there's a lot left to achieve.
00:43:26.000There's a lot of neofarious forces still out there trying to suppress you, trying to censor you.
00:43:31.000So, you guys have to be part of that line of defense in getting this all out there.
