00:11:01.000 Dead.
00:11:01.000 AJ Rice.
00:11:02.000 AJ, good to have you here, man.
00:11:03.000 How you doing?
00:11:04.000 Don, great to be here, brother.
00:11:05.000 You're a patriot.
00:11:06.000 It's really a pleasure.
00:11:08.000 Well, you too, man.
00:11:09.000 It takes some guts to get in that game.
00:11:10.000 It takes some guts to fight back.
00:11:14.000 Although it's interesting.
00:11:15.000 I mean, you're able to do so much of that with humor.
00:11:17.000 And I noticed that when I became a general in the meme wars seven or eight years ago.
00:11:22.000 You can do a lot when you get people to laugh at the absurdity of what's going on, even if it is absurd, even if it's really scary.
00:11:29.000 Sometimes that helps drive the point even better.
00:11:32.000 What are your thoughts on that, and what have you done with it?
00:11:34.000 Well, bro, you're one of our five-star anti-woke generals.
00:11:38.000 I mean, you know, with liberal privilege and Triggered, I mean, you were out there, you know, first one through the door takes all the bullets.
00:11:45.000 I mean, you've been a bullet sponge for these people, but they've all just sort of, it's like spitballs on a battleship, just like your father, it just bounces off.
00:11:53.000 Yeah, slightly more effective than General Milley, right?
00:11:56.000 That's right.
00:11:56.000 And also in slightly better shape, minor details.
00:12:00.000 General White Rage, you mean.
00:12:02.000 I want to know about it.
00:12:03.000 By the way, you know what was interesting?
00:12:04.000 When he said that, I'm like, I've never even heard of that.
00:12:06.000 Like, I don't know.
00:12:07.000 I feel like I'm pretty politically versed.
00:12:08.000 Like, what is that?
00:12:10.000 And it's just like, let's just read off a talking point. 0.99
00:12:13.000 I wish they were more focused on winning wars than they were about woke PC bullshit. 0.99
00:12:17.000 Absolutely. 1.00
00:12:18.000 He pulled that garbage right out of the humanities department somewhere at some lesbian underwater basket weaving conference or something. 1.00
00:12:25.000 I mean, I never heard of it either, but I put it in the book so I could dunk on him without a doubt. 0.98
00:12:31.000 You know, it's funny.
00:12:32.000 I grew up with Limbaugh and Andrew Breitbart and, you know, some politically incorrect humor, whether it was coming from...
00:12:40.000 You know, old school Howard, not new school Howard, that's, you know, hanging out in the basement, giving himself 50,000 jabs.
00:12:46.000 I think it's trans Howard, because it ain't the same Howard that I, I mean, I grew up watching, I've been on the show, like, you know, it was like, you know, as a New Yorker especially, like, it's definitely trans Howard.
00:12:57.000 I don't know what happened there, but he cut something off.
00:13:00.000 Bro, my first sort of introduction to your dad was in the mid-90s, when I'm like working summer jobs.
00:13:08.000 Blue-collar stuff outside of Philly.
00:13:10.000 And, you know, the boys, they had it on from 6 a.m.
00:13:13.000 to whenever Howard went off the air.
00:13:15.000 So, you know, 45-47 was on all the time.
00:13:18.000 And, you know, it's a shame because that Howard is gone.
00:13:21.000 He's now playing mahjong in the basement with Billy Joel going to Diddy White parties on Long Island.
00:13:27.000 I mean, that's what he does now to entertain himself.
00:13:30.000 But no, look, Limbaugh used to say his job was to use irreverent humor to illustrate truth.
00:13:36.000 And I mean, that's what you do when you're on social media with the memes.
00:13:40.000 You do it with the show.
00:13:41.000 You do it with the books.
00:13:42.000 Use absurdity to illustrate truth.
00:13:44.000 And quite frankly, that's how you check power.
00:13:48.000 Unfortunately, many leftists, you know, the late night hosts and Saturday Night Live, the Jimmies and the Stevens and the Stevens and the Jimmies, they've all vacated that position, which is why, you know, you and some others, Gutfeld, you know, that are out there, you got Babylon B. You've been able to sort of fill that vacuum, and it's huge. 0.59
00:14:08.000 This is a target-rich environment.
00:14:11.000 Yeah, they make it so easy, and I mean, Jimmy's another great example.
00:14:14.000 I mean, Jimmy, last time he was funny was The Man Show, and he was awesome, and Corolla sort of went this way, Jimmy went the other.
00:14:22.000 I guess Jimmy wanted to be loved by Hollywood, and Corolla just sort of was able to speak the truth, or I guess they're both doing fine for themselves, but it's...
00:14:28.000 It's sad to see what happened.
00:14:29.000 The Howard example, I remember when Howard went off the regular airwaves and went over to Sirius or wherever he went, they did the best of Howard Stern, and it was the top ten things ever.
00:14:40.000 Trump was like three of them.
00:14:41.000 Oh, yeah, he could be the majority.
00:14:43.000 So here's the thing, whether it's rock stars or comedians, now there are some sort of free speech absolutists, let's call them that, Chappelle and Ricky Gervais and a few of these guys.
00:14:56.000 If you tell them what they're not allowed to joke about, that's what they're gonna go after.
00:14:59.000 So there are a few of these people that know, Don, that when the Woking Dead shows up, when the cultural Marxists show up, they'll be in front of the firing squad the same as you and I. Some of them know that, but that's what comedy and art and rock and roll and gangster rap, even journalism, that's what it's supposed to be about.
00:15:19.000 It's about checking the man, checking the powers that be, and instead...
00:15:23.000 They have been wrapping their arms around Zelensky's bombs, wrapping their arms around the pharmaceutical companies, wrapping their arms around the FBI and the Pentagon, and that's what kind of, you know, the American people said enough to in this last election.
00:15:39.000 Yeah, no, without question.
00:15:42.000 I mean, you know, Chappelle, yeah, imagine some of his great skits.
00:15:45.000 I'm not even sure if I'm allowed to talk about them in direct, you know, whether it's, you know, Clayton Bixby as the black-white supremacist.
00:15:51.000 I mean, I think it's one of the greatest sketch comedy things of all time.
00:15:54.000 Like, you'd have a hard time doing that.
00:15:55.000 Ricky Gervais at, like, the Oscars.
00:15:58.000 You know, that was actually speaking truth to power, and it's sort of amazing to me because, like, when you see...
00:16:04.000 Like, how viral that went.
00:16:05.000 I mean, that's sort of what comedy is about, right?
00:16:07.000 Like, you know, I get it.
00:16:09.000 It was controversial to a few powerful people at the top, but, like, the American public loved it and thanked him for it.
00:16:16.000 You would think, you know, there'd be few people that would still be afraid of that because if you give the people what they want...
00:16:24.000 It seems to be much more important, especially if you're in comedy and you're selling tickets and you're selling specials or whatever, than just catering to those who are actually just in charge or in power, which is such a small portion of the population.
00:16:36.000 Absolutely.
00:16:37.000 Absolutely.
00:16:37.000 And look, I've been calling this last election a woke Waterloo moment, and it was a big one.
00:16:43.000 We've had others, Elon getting red-pilled and buying Twitter.
00:16:46.000 He did the biggest digital jailbreak in history, turning all you guys loose again on Twitter, right?
00:16:51.000 It was a jailbreak.
00:16:53.000 It was an intellectual, comedic, you know, substantive jailbreak of, you know, anti-censorship.
00:16:59.000 You know, you're right.
00:17:00.000 Gervais at the Golden Globes with the Epstein-Weinstein, Epstein-Weinstein.
00:17:04.000 I mean, he was like Kobe dunking all those perverts in the audience, right?
00:17:08.000 He didn't even get a chance to weigh in on the Diddy stuff.
00:17:11.000 And then, you know, Kid Rock, when he took the AR-15 out to the Bud Lights.
00:17:15.000 I mean, look, Bud Light put a tranny in the bathtub with two Bud Light pounders. 1.00
00:17:21.000 And all it took was Kid Rock with a case of him.
00:17:24.000 That was a woke Waterloo moment, too.
00:17:26.000 So we have these situations where we start to push back on them.
00:17:31.000 Now, I find it interesting that some of the left may learn their lessons, but one that does not appear to be is who I call the trans mafia. 0.92
00:17:40.000 The trans mafia is out to whack people. 1.00
00:17:42.000 They're out to make cement shoes for people. 0.97
00:17:46.000 And it appears the Democrats are willing...
00:17:49.000 To die on the hill with them.
00:17:51.000 That is more important than any of the stuff Trump is doing.
00:17:55.000 It's more important than talking to the Plumbers Union of Philadelphia or the Teamsters or the UAW that they're willing to follow AOC into the women's room with a dude with Nancy Mace waiting for him.
00:18:11.000 That's what they're willing to die on.
00:18:12.000 And I say, look...
00:18:13.000 Keep it up.
00:18:14.000 You're going to continue to lose election.
00:18:16.000 I'm fine with it.
00:18:17.000 Yeah, I've never understood that one.
00:18:18.000 How, you know, 0.1% of the population is just totally beyond reproach when, you know, again, a couple of years ago, clinically, it would have been a medical disorder.
00:18:27.000 It was a medical disorder.
00:18:29.000 Now, all of a sudden, it's like it makes you immune from persecution or prosecution.
00:18:33.000 You look at the statistics across crime, and I can't think of a more violent populist per capita than the radical trans agenda, whether it's the school shootings or the Christian schools or this, that, and the other, the manifestos. 0.83
00:18:45.000 I mean, it's wild.
00:18:47.000 As a percentage of population, I can't imagine anyone in the world actually being more violent.
00:18:53.000 I mean, how many are there in America that commit these sort of heinous crimes or are stopped before doing them?
00:18:59.000 I mean, it's sort of wild that they've been able to be...
00:19:01.000 Or amass that much power?
00:19:04.000 If there were a bunch of Catholic Irish nuns from Michigan acting the way that the trans shooters are acting, there would be breathless coverage on CNN. We'd have to have a national conversation about Catholic Irish nuns. 0.96
00:19:19.000 But instead, I sent my team to actually create a list of these trans shooters.
00:19:24.000 It's an amazing thing, Don.
00:19:26.000 You have to dig around.
00:19:29.000 in places like bloodhounds to find any type of mention because the second it's revealed that it is one of these people that were on puberty blockers or hormones whatever It gets memory hold immediately.
00:19:42.000 Yeah, I mean, you saw the Christian school shooting, what was it, last year, year before?
00:19:46.000 Well, there's a manifesto.
00:19:48.000 I mean, you see where they are.
00:19:49.000 You see the social media, but the social media is scrubbed faster than anything.
00:19:52.000 Now, if it was a white guy in a MAGA hat, it would not be scrubbed.
00:19:55.000 It would be there, and it would be promoted, and it would be news.
00:19:58.000 The manifesto.
00:20:00.000 The motive is unknown.
00:20:01.000 It's like, really?
00:20:02.000 Do you think it has something to do with jacking someone up with obscure hormones for 15, 20 years of their lives, whatever it may be?
00:20:08.000 Do you think it could be that?
00:20:09.000 No, it can't be that.
00:20:10.000 It's got to be something far less plausible than literally the most obvious thing in the world.
00:20:16.000 And so it's hard watching them go in on that, but they've done that across the board.
00:20:21.000 I saw the weeks after the election, it was like...
00:20:24.000 Who cares if you can't afford your groceries?
00:20:27.000 Three-year-olds are being denied gender-affirming care without parental consent.
00:20:31.000 And I'm like, what the hell is going on here?
00:20:33.000 I'm glad they're not learning, but it's hard to believe these are even still conversations we're having, let alone watching them go all in on them.
00:20:41.000 Yeah, well, it's amazing.
00:20:42.000 They were able to find Juicy Smollett's MAGA hat wearers in the south side of Chicago.
00:20:48.000 They were able to find that real quick.
00:20:50.000 I remember Bubba Watson said, That there was a noose in his garage at a NASCAR race.
00:20:57.000 It was basically the garage pulled down, right?
00:20:59.000 The FBI was scrambled.
00:21:02.000 They're able to find all these things, but Don, if you try to have them connect what's right in front of their face, no way.
00:21:08.000 No way they're like Ray Charles flying an airplane.
00:21:11.000 Yeah, I mean, AJ, it was an interesting one because I was, I think I was maybe one of the, if not the first sort of like verified account on Twitter at the time that called out the Jesse Smollett thing being like, wait a minute, you're telling me that there's a bunch of MAGA hat wearing dudes walking around the south side of Chicago at two o'clock in the morning on the coldest night of the year.
00:21:31.000 Like, I'm like, I don't know, man, this is a risk. 0.89
00:21:34.000 But, like, I'm, like, all in that this is bullshit. 0.99
00:21:37.000 Like, I'm all in. 1.00
00:21:38.000 And I got all, like, Don Jr.'s a white supremacist.
00:21:40.000 I'm like, I'm not a white supremacist.
00:21:42.000 It has nothing to do with it. 0.91
00:21:43.000 It's just, like, I'm not an idiot.
00:21:44.000 Like, this is clearly and demonstrably, like, a made-up thing. 0.89
00:21:48.000 And then, of course, I was right.
00:21:49.000 I don't get a correction or apology.
00:21:51.000 I'm just a bad guy for calling out the obvious when, you know, when there was a, you know, there's always a risk doing that.
00:21:56.000 She's, you know, the VP was, you know, talking to her the next day or Kamala Harris was.
00:22:01.000 And then they're on Gayle King.
00:22:02.000 And they're, oh, my God, I can't believe this happened.
00:22:04.000 Like, I don't know about Jesse Smollett as an actor.
00:22:06.000 Maybe he's a decent actor, but he ain't a good writer because that was insane.
00:22:11.000 Well, he was a good enough actor to, you know, to convince, you know, Gayle King and, you know, Robin Roberts and Michelle Obama and Oprah.
00:22:20.000 They all bought it.
00:22:21.000 I mean, they did not need to check anything.
00:22:23.000 But did they buy it or was it just convenient to run with?
00:22:26.000 Meaning it was just, it was the right narrative at the right time to be able to go all in.
00:22:30.000 This is going to further our political goals.
00:22:32.000 That's right.
00:22:33.000 That's right.
00:22:33.000 And look, they're experts in that.
00:22:35.000 They don't just do that with that.
00:22:36.000 They do it with all of it.
00:22:38.000 They did it with Kyle Rittenhouse.
00:22:39.000 I mean, the guy on the subway, Daniel Penny.
00:22:42.000 They rush in and they'll figure out the facts later.
00:22:46.000 But that's what provides such a unique opportunity to write books like Liberal Privilege and the White Privilege album because they are exposing themselves to mockery where, you know, look.
00:22:59.000 I think it was W.C. Fields.
00:23:00.000 Look, you can make all the Aristotelian arguments you want, and there's plenty of brilliant people out there, Victor Davis Hanson, Socrates Jr., and so on.
00:23:09.000 But if you can hang a joke on someone, it will last forever.
00:23:13.000 And that is your unique ability that apparently is genetic, because the OG from the Golden Escalator, that is what has been driving these people crazy for 10 years.
00:23:24.000 That's why they're trying to ban those kinds of jokes in Germany right now, because they understand that it's effective.
00:23:29.000 They understand that would allow others who don't have the same political soapbox, they don't have the same megaphone, to actually get that stuff out there.
00:23:38.000 So rather than actually address the problem, they'd rather ban the people who are pointing out the obvious.
00:23:43.000 But we're seeing my father demolish everything the left has held sacred for decades, like DEI. It's basically, that's their religion.
00:23:53.000 And the more we learn, the more we realize that our own tax dollars were funding it.
00:23:59.000 We thought we were doing good things around the world.
00:24:01.000 Turns out it was all just a big kickback to woke leftists.
00:24:05.000 The left doesn't really exist without being artificially propped up.
00:24:10.000 Wokeism is just a complete fraud, really, isn't it?
00:24:14.000 Yeah, no, it's an intersectionality of fraud, right?
00:24:18.000 And money laundering.
00:24:20.000 I mean, you know, if you would have told me this list, This list I've got here from USAID, this looks like a list of stuff you and I would make up.
00:24:28.000 I'm not done.
00:24:30.000 I'm Irish Cavaliers.
00:24:31.000 I am not that creative, AJ. I'd like to believe that I am that good, but I promise you, I'm not.
00:24:36.000 I take ridiculous stuff, I point it out to others, sort of explain just how ridiculous it is, maybe come up with a good analogy or two, but it's literally like South Park could not come up with a better list than these guys were actually funding, and they don't miss often.
00:24:51.000 Look, I'm Irish Catholic from Philadelphia.
00:24:53.000 I'm really upset that we lost out on the $70,000 for DEI the musical in Ireland.
00:24:59.000 That's like the sequel to Riverdance, I guess.
00:25:01.000 I mean, some of this stuff, you know, transgender opera in Columbia, transgender comic book in Peru.
00:25:07.000 I mean, this is the drift of the ages, and this is just 1% of what they were doing.
00:25:15.000 This isn't even the big dogs, the big battleships that, look, I'm here in the swamp.
00:25:20.000 I'm kind of like those dogs that live in Chernobyl where, you know, they're immune to radiation.
00:25:26.000 Because I've been here for 20 years fighting these people.
00:25:28.000 And it wasn't really till, you know, MAGA showed up that I had any reinforcements.
00:25:33.000 I mean, you know, I was Laura Ingram's executive producer for years.
00:25:37.000 And Laura and I were fighting these people then when all the fancy people in the establishment were telling us, no, free trade's wonderful.
00:25:46.000 No, you can't close the border.
00:25:48.000 You know, all these things.
00:25:50.000 You know, China's our friend.
00:25:51.000 And, you know, other than, like, Pat Buchanan and Lou Dobbs, Ron Paul a little bit, until Trump showed up.
00:25:59.000 And what's funny is, when he comes down to the golden escalator in 15, and it's 16, you know, he's saying the same stuff he was saying to Larry King in, like, the early 80s.
00:26:08.000 So this isn't some new idea that he just, like, picked up off the floor.
00:26:12.000 He has seen that...
00:26:14.000 The Democrat Party, big government, China, and many other things have been eating our lunch for 40 years. 0.72
00:26:21.000 And it's nice to see everyone come along now.
00:26:27.000 Now it's a lot easier to do it.
00:26:29.000 Right now, again, for regular people, I get it.
00:26:31.000 There was a social consequence to doing that.
00:26:33.000 You wouldn't be able to be welcomed at your PTA meeting.
00:26:36.000 You'd be frowned in the line at Starbucks if you're sort of a woke suburban housewife. 0.64
00:26:40.000 It's going to be really easy.
00:26:41.000 I don't know.
00:26:42.000 I'm going to donate to BLM and post my black square and I'm absolved from all of my crimes. 0.90
00:26:46.000 I mean, it's...
00:26:48.000 It's sort of wild, but it took a guy like Trump to take all of those slings, all of those arrows to open the door.
00:26:56.000 Elon sort of did it for the guys in big tech.
00:26:58.000 David Sachs sort of came out and be like, I don't know, these things haven't been working.
00:27:01.000 Why don't we try something new?
00:27:02.000 Elon's like, okay, this is kind of nonsense.
00:27:05.000 All of a sudden, everyone else rushes through that door.
00:27:07.000 I mean, half of the big VC guys, not the woke guys that work at these companies, but the leaders, the actual entrepreneurs, the people that are putting their money on the line are like, Yeah, these things have failed us.
00:27:19.000 And these were some of the biggest donors to the Democrat Party for years.
00:27:22.000 But the second they had power and weren't ceding entire control to the Democrat Party, they were persona non grata and they tried to take them out.
00:27:30.000 And I mean, you see this sort of play out over and over again.
00:27:33.000 So you need a Trump-like character who's just willing to go all in, zero Fs left to give.
00:27:40.000 And again, I think even more so this time around than the first term, you needed...
00:27:46.000 Him to see just how bad they'd be to them.
00:27:48.000 They try to take away your business.
00:27:50.000 They try to impeach you twice.
00:27:51.000 If that doesn't work, we'll try to jail you. 1.00
00:27:52.000 And if that doesn't work, we'll just create enough havoc and enough chaos because you're the greatest threat to democracy literally like ever that some moron tries to kill you twice. 1.00
00:28:03.000 That's right. 1.00
00:28:03.000 Now it's like, you know what? 1.00
00:28:04.000 I don't know.
00:28:06.000 Let's just go fight.
00:28:07.000 What more can they throw at him?
00:28:09.000 Two phony impeachments, four phony indictments, two assassins on the field.
00:28:13.000 They've thrown everything at him.
00:28:15.000 They're going in his house.
00:28:16.000 They're arresting Roger Stone.
00:28:18.000 I mean, there's stuff, Don, I know, there's stuff you have not even told this audience that they've done to you.
00:28:23.000 Maybe someday you will.
00:28:24.000 What they've done to you guys and the family, anyone that was associated around Trump, all the moons of Saturn, all the moons of Jupiter, if you were anywhere near any of you, I mean, but isn't it interesting?
00:28:38.000 I always like to think of 47 as like the white blood cells. 0.89
00:28:43.000 That are flying towards an infection in the body because the body is rotting.
00:28:47.000 And he's flying towards an infection.
00:28:50.000 And, you know, as a counterculture icon, yes.
00:28:53.000 But as someone who is trying to heal this rot from the globalists, from wokeism, and, you know, they're not going to go.
00:29:02.000 I mean, obviously, you can see that out there now.
00:29:04.000 They're not going to go quietly at all.
00:29:07.000 I think that's what we misread.
00:29:09.000 I think we thought it'd be really aggressive.
00:29:11.000 It'd be really bad, but like common sense could prevail.
00:29:13.000 But you realize that.
00:29:15.000 You know, everyone in the swamp, I mean, including a lot of Republicans, are sort of in on the grift, right?
00:29:19.000 Like, it's how they've made their wealth, or their buddies, or if you're in the military, you know, the General Millies that we talked about, like, you know, well, their exit ramp is a board seat at Raytheon, so of course you're going to push endless war.
00:29:30.000 You don't get that board seat if you're not selling more missiles.
00:29:32.000 You don't sell more missiles if you're not using them to kill people in, you know, in wars that no one can articulate what victory even looks like, and so...
00:29:40.000 It's this perpetual vicious cycle of death and money because there's no money in peace.
00:29:46.000 That's right.
00:29:47.000 And look, if Lincoln was the great emancipator and Reagan was the great communicator, Donald Trump is the great disruptor.
00:29:55.000 And unlike last time where we got fed, look, you were there, we got fed a bunch of characters like Tillerson and Milley and McMaster and some of these characters at the RNC said we had to make cabinet secretaries.
00:30:09.000 He is rolling in here with disruptors for each department, from Bondi to Cash to Tulsi to RFK Jr. And it's not just that, you know, yeah, the fish rots from the head, but you can't just take the tops of these agencies and departments and put our people in.
00:30:26.000 You have to drop a bunker buster 10 layers down on these departments.
00:30:29.000 Because, like you just said, whether it's at the VCs, whether it's at Netflix protesting Dave Chappelle...
00:30:35.000 The middle management has been the problem.
00:30:38.000 Entrenched bureaucrats like a metastasism, right? 1.00
00:30:42.000 The people that were listening in on the Fiona Hales and the Vennmans, they're listening in on those freaking phone calls that run the Politico, right?
00:30:51.000 Those are the ones we've got to go in and we've got to bring some 47 chemotherapy in there and get them out.
00:31:00.000 We've got to get them out of there.
00:31:02.000 And I think that's what Cash and Bondi...
00:31:05.000 Are going to do.
00:31:06.000 And Hegseth, then Elon.
00:31:08.000 And that's why the attack is so visceral back, right?
00:31:11.000 They understand that is a threat.
00:31:13.000 Some bureaucrat that's, you know, going to slow roll Trump or kick the can down the road will wait him out. 1.00
00:31:17.000 It's only four more years.
00:31:18.000 You know, those people are in a panic and you're seeing that.
00:31:21.000 I mean...
00:31:22.000 You know, the stuff that Doge has uncovered, I mean, you know, people that are 300 years old still getting Social Security.
00:31:27.000 I mean, it's pretty impressive.
00:31:28.000 You'd think that would be in the Guinness Book of World Records.
00:31:30.000 You'd think they would highlight these people's incredible lives that were born at the founding of our country, and they're still around getting Social Security.
00:31:38.000 It's like...
00:31:38.000 Yeah, that's right.
00:31:39.000 You know, I had a cousin in Philly call me, told me Ben Franklin's still getting Social Security.
00:31:43.000 And I was like, Ben Franklin?
00:31:44.000 He was like 90 when we started this thing.
00:31:47.000 You know, him and George Washington were the oldest two founders.
00:31:49.000 You know, it's funny.
00:31:51.000 We're upgrading, right?
00:31:52.000 We're upgrading the cabinets.
00:31:54.000 One of the other things I know you want to talk about that we've upgraded is what I like to call the hillbilly ninja, J.D. Vance.
00:32:02.000 Oh, yeah.
00:32:02.000 The hillbilly ninja just gave a Churchillian speech, like the speech Churchill gave in 1946, almost 80 years ago, in Fulton, Missouri, the Iron Curtain speech.
00:32:15.000 J.D. Vance, wearing his Michael Jordan jersey.
00:32:18.000 Just went to the faces of these goofy European leaders and dunked in their faces and basically said that there is an iron curtain today.
00:32:27.000 There's an iron curtain coming across Europe today. 0.90
00:32:30.000 And it's an iron curtain of censorship.
00:32:32.000 It's a gag order.
00:32:33.000 It's arresting people that are putting out memes. 0.93
00:32:37.000 It's attacking Christians and Jews. 1.00
00:32:39.000 And they're okay with it.
00:32:41.000 They're okay with it.
00:32:42.000 And they're outraged that J.D. Vance and Donald Trump are not willing to do what Obama did, which was...
00:32:47.000 Lead from behind.
00:32:49.000 Yeah, I'm watching, you know, the guy from the European Union that cried.
00:32:54.000 I mean, yeah, he's a grown-ass man leading, you know, millions of people, like, crying.
00:32:58.000 Like, I'm like, I don't know, man.
00:32:58.000 Like, it takes a lot more to get me to cry, but because he was called out to his face.
00:33:03.000 But this is the same guy, AJ, that literally laughed, you know, five or six years ago when my father at the very, you know, at the UN... Called out Europe for being like, you know, you're just enriching Russia like you're making them like that's your big threat.
00:33:17.000 Like you want us to spend trillions of dollars on NATO while not doing anything about you guys trying to enrich yourselves from your greatest enemy while enriching them.
00:33:26.000 It doesn't make sense.
00:33:27.000 And this guy laughed off the Russia threat. 1.00
00:33:29.000 Oh, he's such a clown. 0.99
00:33:30.000 I mean. 1.00
00:33:31.000 These morons are always proven to be wrong in the end. 1.00
00:33:34.000 But in the meantime, they sort of get what they want. 1.00
00:33:36.000 They're able to do that.
00:33:38.000 At the time, they had the full weight and force of the mainstream media.
00:33:41.000 They had the full weight and force of big tech.
00:33:43.000 We've gotten some of that back.
00:33:44.000 At least there's free speech on Truth Social, on X, on these kinds of places.
00:33:48.000 And you realize once they lose, and they still have a massive advantage when you think of the trillion dollars that those enterprises really are, but you claw back a couple of those places.
00:33:58.000 People are able to see what's really going on, and all of a sudden, without that head start, without that artificial boost, these guys, their ideas, their ineptitude, they're exposed, and they can't handle it, and they're freaking out on a world stage.
00:34:16.000 That's right.
00:34:17.000 And what's going on in Europe is by design.
00:34:21.000 Angela Merkel, who's a real looker, by the way, Angela Merkel, look, your father sized her up and knew that she was bad news.
00:34:27.000 When he was 45, now he's 47. The plan was to flood Europe. 0.94
00:34:33.000 I mean, does this sound familiar, ladies and gentlemen, what's going on?
00:34:36.000 There's no Tom Holman or Donald Trump to save Europe.
00:34:39.000 You know, to flood Europe with basically third world, Middle Eastern people. 1.00
00:34:45.000 I mean, to change the demographics of Europe, to balkanize Europe, to make it more like Yugoslavia. 0.96
00:34:52.000 Which descended into a civil war of insanity, especially with Bosnian Muslim terror groups and different factions trying to kill each other.
00:35:02.000 That is what you're starting to see here. 0.56
00:35:05.000 He should cry.
00:35:07.000 He should cry because the pinnacle of Western civilization, the beginning of it, rests in the capitals of Europe.
00:35:16.000 Churchill warned about the Soviet Union, but in reality, it looks like...
00:35:22.000 With all these leftists in charge, that East Germany won. 0.93
00:35:26.000 It looks like the Soviet Union won because they are capitulating to Russia, they're pretending to fight them with no money and spitballs, and yet their behavior, the censorship, the crackdown on free speech, is reminiscent of all the totalitarian regimes that they claim they're trying to prevent come there. 0.62
00:35:44.000 Yeah, the grooming gangs are running wild.
00:35:47.000 And rather than dealing with, you know, pedophile raping gangs, if you report them and say, you know, I really don't think they belong in our country, you go to jail for reporting them. 0.98
00:35:57.000 They don't get thrown in jail for doing the raping. 0.98
00:36:01.000 It's like something out of Monty Python or Mel Brooks.
00:36:05.000 I mean, it feels like a modern day blazing saddles could be written about this insanity, but it's actually going on.
00:36:12.000 So, yeah.
00:36:12.000 And look, JD going there, doing what he did.
00:36:15.000 Fantastic speech.
00:36:16.000 And what an upgrade from Mike Pence, right?
00:36:18.000 And, you know, I'm not going to be too hard on Mike Pence, but, you know, Mike Pence and his crew, the Linguini Spine Mafia there, I mean, you know, he could never have delivered a speech like that.
00:36:30.000 It's amazing.
00:36:31.000 As an old millennial, as a geriatric millennial, which is what I am, Gandalf, the millennial over here, it's amazing.
00:36:38.000 To see this dynamic duo of your father and J.D. Vance just taking it to these people.
00:36:44.000 Just taking it.
00:36:45.000 They all have glass jaws, and they're just shattering them from one side of the globe to the other.
00:36:51.000 So, AJ, your books are satire combined with actual journalism.
00:36:56.000 I mean, how do you combine comedy with journalism to expose just how insane that woke agenda really is?
00:37:03.000 Well, yeah.
00:37:04.000 I mean, look, it's a target-rich environment.
00:37:06.000 The White Privilege album...
00:37:07.000 And Don, the subtitle, which was Trollmaster Flash in Action, is something you would have come up with, is bringing racial harmony to very fine people on both sides.
00:37:18.000 So I just know, watching this show right now, I know the very fine people are out there watching this show right now.
00:37:24.000 Big shout out to the very fine people out there.
00:37:27.000 Look, I took basically 12 chapters, and each chapter is a month of the year.
00:37:33.000 So chapter one is January privilege.
00:37:36.000 And Chapter 12 is December privilege. 0.88
00:37:37.000 And I go through an entire calendar year dunking on these fools and defending Western civilization, defending the middle class, defending the nuclear family, and defending our holidays and our traditions. 0.85
00:37:51.000 So, you know, we defend Columbus Day in Chapter 10, October, and having some fun along the way because, you know, it dawned on me that, you know, they use race, you know, more than almost anything to try to divide us. 0.96
00:38:05.000 And they told us, I mean, they just ran an entire presidential campaign on, like, abortion and Hitler.
00:38:11.000 Hitler, right?
00:38:12.000 This is what they did.
00:38:13.000 They thought they were going to win.
00:38:14.000 They spent a billion-plus dollars on Hitler and abortion.
00:38:19.000 I mean, it's unbelievable.
00:38:20.000 You talk about money laundering.
00:38:22.000 They raised that money, Don, in 100 days.
00:38:25.000 That wasn't pocket change.
00:38:26.000 Where the hell did that money come from?
00:38:28.000 1.2?
00:38:30.000 Billion in 100 days?
00:38:31.000 They'll talk about Trump and the oligarchy.
00:38:34.000 Oh, the oligarchs are in charge. 0.98
00:38:36.000 I mean, come on.
00:38:37.000 That's fast and dark money if I've ever seen it.
00:38:39.000 So, you know, for me, it's easy to do.
00:38:42.000 You do it every day.
00:38:43.000 You've got to have some fun with these people.
00:38:45.000 You've got to attack the things that they think are their, you know, woke holy grails.
00:38:50.000 And look, I try to do that.
00:38:52.000 I have some fun with it.
00:38:54.000 You know, one of the definitions of comedy...
00:38:57.000 It's the ability to transform horror into humor.
00:39:02.000 So, you know, nothing's...
00:39:03.000 I mean, all comedy has truth in it.
00:39:06.000 And all the greats know that, you know?
00:39:08.000 Joan Rivers and Lenny Bruce and Johnny Carson and Rodney Dangerfield and Dice and Roseanne, whoever.
00:39:15.000 And that's what we have to do here.
00:39:17.000 And it is their kryptonite.
00:39:19.000 And now that big tech is not protecting them from our jokes, and the media has kind of backed down and...
00:39:26.000 I even see goofballs like Seth Rogen saying, well, you know, I kind of know why Trump won. 0.96
00:39:32.000 You know, eventually when you have a bunch of homeless, you know, trans midgets in your front yard doing crack, the people, you know, the people decide to vote the other way. 1.00
00:39:42.000 So, you know, for all the racist stuff they've called your dad, it's an amazing thing because he just put together the greatest multi-ethnic, diverse coalition seen by a Republican in a generation. 0.94
00:39:55.000 And they don't know how to explain it.
00:39:58.000 From The View to CNN, they're befuddled, Don.
00:40:01.000 Yeah, so, I mean, you talk about those guys, whether it's Rogan or whether it's, you know, Bill Maher.
00:40:07.000 You know, Bill Maher, these days, he comes up with some fairly reasonable stuff.
00:40:10.000 At the same time, I'm sort of like, I don't want to give too much credit because it's like, that's the arsonist calling the fire department, right?
00:40:16.000 The people that complained about all these things for so long are like, oh, maybe we took it a little too far, but like...
00:40:21.000 Do they deserve that credit for coming around now when, you know, they're the biggest catalysts for the insanity to begin with?
00:40:29.000 Yeah, I mean, look, Marty used to be more of a libertarian.
00:40:32.000 And, you know, he's in Hollywood.
00:40:34.000 He's a boomer.
00:40:35.000 You know, he's a certain age bracket where, you know, he is doing a little tap dance and he is putting, you know, I'd like to see you go in there.
00:40:43.000 He is putting some people, you know, on the show that, you know, he might not agree with 100%.
00:40:49.000 So there is a rationality there.
00:40:51.000 I tell people this all the time.
00:40:53.000 And, you know, for some of our folks, Don, that are attacking Elon for certain things or any of this coalition we've put together, like RFK Jr. doesn't pass the purity test.
00:41:04.000 Tulsi Gabbard doesn't pass the purity test.
00:41:06.000 Purity tests throughout history have not been great.
00:41:09.000 I mean, they complain about- By the way, Trump wouldn't pass that test, except he's the only guy willing to do it.
00:41:13.000 Like, I mean, it's- Correct.
00:41:15.000 So in 2015, Trump didn't pass the purity test.
00:41:18.000 I mean, Reagan showed up, and they were mad that he had been divorced once, and he had two wives.
00:41:23.000 I mean, so the purity test people are losing, and I think, you know, at least with someone like Maher or Ricky Gervais, they at least are rational enough to know that, you know, we can agree on some things without, like, lighting ourselves on fire like suicide bombers, which is what the left, really, that's where they get their power from. 0.98
00:41:44.000 The unhinged battalions of pink pussyhat women. 1.00
00:41:48.000 Remember, Ashley Judd outside the White House screaming about your father. 0.99
00:41:52.000 Madonna threatening to detonate the White House.
00:41:54.000 You know, look, we've taken a little bit of wind out of their sails.
00:41:59.000 I don't see many of them out there doing that, which I consider a victory.
00:42:02.000 I agree.
00:42:03.000 I mean, so, you know, AJ, we're also getting more cabinet picks confirmed, and it's putting the swamp, you know, obviously in a panic.
00:42:12.000 Again, that's both sides, because I'm happy to call out weak Republicans just as much, because frankly, with weak Republicans, who needs Democrats?
00:42:19.000 With someone like Kash Patel at the FBI, what sort of impact in having...
00:42:25.000 Do you think that has on the FBI actually investigating crimes instead of just kneeling down, bowing to BLM, going along with the woke talking points, investigating mothers at PTA meetings who are simply concerned that their children are being indoctrinated, which of course they were, rather than going after actual terrorists?
00:42:45.000 That's right.
00:42:46.000 And I will tell you, this is the reason Cash has been stalled more than anyone else. 0.86
00:42:51.000 Because he alone, more than anyone else, Scares the hell out of these knuckleheads.
00:42:57.000 He, I mean, and I will tell you, yes, he's going to make the FBI cops again, but if he goes into a mode of absolute disclosure, that's the silver tuna.
00:43:09.000 That, if he goes line by line, the way Doge is, you know, going line by line, if he goes into absolute disclosure, who were the journalists that were paid off to write about the...
00:43:21.000 The urine dossier and Crossfire Hurricane. 0.77
00:43:24.000 They have that list.
00:43:25.000 That has not been disclosed.
00:43:27.000 We talked about Politico last week with USAID. There was a bunch of journalists paid money.
00:43:33.000 The FBI knows their names.
00:43:34.000 Who were they?
00:43:36.000 Why are they still working?
00:43:36.000 They got like $8 million or $9 million in subscriptions for the government from USAID.
00:43:42.000 I'm not sure what Politico would be getting that money for unless it's basically a payoff to be like, hey, you're going to do this.
00:43:49.000 We're going to basically artificially support you. 0.93
00:43:51.000 And then you're going to be our freaking scribe. 0.63
00:43:54.000 You're going to write whatever we want to perpetuate whatever narrative is in vogue at the moment. 0.96
00:43:59.000 And, you know, as long as you keep doing that, we'll keep subsidizing your existence. 0.85
00:44:03.000 That's right.
00:44:04.000 And look, other than Louis Free, who was actually a field agent.
00:44:08.000 Did not get along with Bill Clinton much.
00:44:11.000 Most of these FBI directors have all been cut from...
00:44:15.000 They're all lawyers.
00:44:16.000 They're all former federal prosecutors.
00:44:18.000 They're all from the same club.
00:44:19.000 Most of them have never carried a gun or wouldn't know how to use one.
00:44:22.000 That's right.
00:44:22.000 Most people don't join the FBI to go to Washington and go to parties with Andy McCabe and his wife.
00:44:27.000 They don't do that.
00:44:28.000 You talk to real field agents, they don't want that job.
00:44:32.000 So Cash is going to be up against that.
00:44:35.000 But if he goes into it, I mean, look, we don't even know any real data about the assassination attempts.
00:44:41.000 The, you know, the level of corruption here, the, you know, and I see the left writing about, well, will Kash Patel, you know, be the next Hoover?
00:44:52.000 I mean, there is stuff going back to Hoover.
00:44:54.000 There is so much corruption there.
00:44:56.000 We're talking about Watergate every day of the week, every second of the day, whether it's the Epstein list, the Diddy list.
00:45:03.000 The assassination attempts, you know, things that Janet Reno was doing, you know, I guess wiretapping Catholics, investigating parents at PTA meetings.
00:45:15.000 I mean, there's little items, and then there's big, you know, RFK, JFK, MLK items.
00:45:20.000 And if he can just do that disclosure, it'll be the greatest form of community service for the Constitution.
00:45:28.000 Yeah, they don't actually even have to cut anything.
00:45:30.000 They just have to expose it.
00:45:32.000 Because once it's exposed and everyone, you know, the voting populace understands where their money has gone as they've watched their roads crumble, their infrastructure go to crap, their kids not be able to get educated, only indoctrinated, their medical systems in shambles.
00:45:47.000 Once they realize that you spent billions that could have been going to that.
00:45:52.000 Rather than to, again, you know, Trans Elmo, you know, Sesame Street in Guatemala, you realize, like, I don't know.
00:46:00.000 I mean, that seems to be the revolutionary shift that we all need as a country.
00:46:05.000 But, you know, AJ, you also, you know, you worked with Laura Ingraham, you worked in cable news, you were a producer there.
00:46:11.000 Like, you understand the inside baseball of all things cable news.
00:46:16.000 When you look at the ratings for networks like CNN, MSNBC, They're hitting one low after another.
00:46:24.000 They don't just have bad politics.
00:46:26.000 It's just bad business.
00:46:28.000 What does the future of cable news look like to you?
00:46:31.000 Yeah, well, look, and here's the thing.
00:46:33.000 The rubric has changed because of shows like this and many others.
00:46:38.000 And talk radio is still solid.
00:46:41.000 Terrestrial radio, you've got Sirius XM, obviously, and that sort of gave birth to the commercial-free podcast.
00:46:49.000 People are not getting their news the same way they used to.
00:46:53.000 I can tell when I do interviews for this book, if I go on one type of show, people will see me.
00:47:00.000 It's interesting the people that text me, where if I go on with Ingram on Fox, they're a totally different group of people that will text me.
00:47:07.000 So there are different demos out there.
00:47:10.000 But what I find interesting about where the undecided voters were hiding...
00:47:16.000 And I just want to thank you and your brother Barron for this, because I know it was the two of you, and Eric too, because it took Trump, your father, into a time machine.
00:47:26.000 Because as we talked about earlier, I grew up listening to your father on Howard.
00:47:30.000 So you said to yourself, where were the undecided voters?
00:47:34.000 Well, they were hiding, but they weren't hiding at the Chamber of Commerce, and they weren't hiding at the Wall Street Journal editorial page, and they weren't hiding at all the normal places Republicans would go to get their hair cut.
00:47:46.000 He went into some of these podcasts where the true undecided voters were.
00:47:51.000 And I got to see your father sort of get in the Wayback Machine with Theo Vaughn and with Rogan and with Schultz and some of these guys because that's the Donald Trump I grew up with.
00:48:02.000 And they could call it the manosphere or whatever the hell they're calling it.
00:48:07.000 You know, the left always has to put labels on it.
00:48:09.000 But these are people that love this country.
00:48:11.000 They love sports.
00:48:13.000 They don't want their jokes censored, right?
00:48:15.000 So whether it's Barstool or Rogan, and it's interesting, Don, I see the left out there, and they're saying, and for years they used to say, we need to find our own Russ Limbaugh.
00:48:25.000 They never did.
00:48:26.000 Now they're saying, we need to find our own Joe Rogan.
00:48:29.000 You had him.
00:48:30.000 You had him.
00:48:31.000 Joe Rogan was basically at least left-leaning, maybe a little libertarian on some issues.
00:48:38.000 But you had him.
00:48:38.000 But you couldn't let him not go along with the narrative.
00:48:41.000 The second he broke from one thing of a thousand, that was it.
00:48:45.000 We're going to cancel him.
00:48:46.000 We're going to try to MeToo him.
00:48:48.000 We're going to try to get rid of him for literally asking a question.
00:48:51.000 I guess he used the N-word.
00:48:52.000 Asking a question about whether it's appropriate to use the N-word.
00:48:55.000 I don't know how else to articulate it.
00:48:56.000 Maybe he shouldn't have said the actual word.
00:48:59.000 But like...
00:49:00.000 Even he's sitting there like, wait a minute, these people turned on me so quickly.
00:49:04.000 And then you have that long-form notion where in a five-minute interview on Fox, my father can only say so much.
00:49:10.000 So they can then attack him and say, he's got the language skills of a fourth grader.
00:49:14.000 On Rogan, when he starts breaking down Civil War generals and how that led to where we are today, it's like, wait a minute.
00:49:21.000 Exactly.
00:49:21.000 That's not what I was told.
00:49:22.000 I was told he didn't know anything about anything.
00:49:24.000 And yet it was a fascinating conversation for three hours.
00:49:26.000 And when they can't...
00:49:27.000 Put their candidate on there or refuse to do it because they know Kamala Harris, in this case, could not possibly hang that there was just an empty vessel. 0.99
00:49:37.000 That was a problem and it destroyed everything they were willing to say about Trump.
00:49:41.000 And look, Tulsi Gabbard and Joe Rogan both endorsed Bernie Sanders years ago.
00:49:47.000 They did.
00:49:48.000 I mean, so the fact that the Democrats are against them and they're against the oldest male heir of the Kennedy family.
00:49:55.000 See, here's the thing.
00:49:57.000 They've seen these guys break, Elon too, and they need to teach them a lesson because I'm looking at you, John Fetterman.
00:50:04.000 They want to make it so painful to leave the Democrat Party intellectual plantation that they will come after you, they will destroy you, they will call you every name in the book, and they're winking at Fetterman and maybe some others saying, don't you dare do that too, or we will roast you the way we're roasting them.
00:50:23.000 Yeah, well, that was part of the reason they went after Trump so hard.
00:50:25.000 I think they wanted to send a message to anyone else who's not part of, you know, the uni party, anyone else who isn't part of permanent Washington, anyone else who's accomplished in their own right outside of that little world of the swamp and be like, it's just not worth it.
00:50:42.000 Don't get in the game.
00:50:43.000 You know, they tried doing it to Elon.
00:50:45.000 He just...
00:50:45.000 Didn't care.
00:50:46.000 I mean, it was less about actually even going after Trump than it was about making sure that there's never another Trump, that no one would be willing to go through that level of hell to fix their country.
00:51:00.000 There's just no upside to it.
00:51:02.000 That's exactly right.
00:51:03.000 And, you know, it's funny.
00:51:05.000 So here's the thing.
00:51:06.000 For almost 40 years, Republicans called themselves Reagan Republicans.
00:51:11.000 Some of those people have gone off and endorsed Obama and Biden and Kamala.
00:51:15.000 God knows who else.
00:51:17.000 But part of the reason you had all the indictments and the impeachments and they just send waves at him is because they're not—Trump is like—he's like our bodyguard.
00:51:29.000 Yes, to get to us, they've got to go through him.
00:51:32.000 But what they're most worried about is for the next 35 years, just like with Reagan, People are going to be identifying themselves as Trump Republicans, as MAGA Republicans.
00:51:44.000 Some kid bussing tables in Des Moines, right, who gets in his car, he's playing for his own school, puts on his red cap, you know, he goes and watches the Iowa, you know, football team play against Iowa State, whatever the hell it is, they're worried.
00:51:58.000 They're worried about the waves of Trumps that are coming.
00:52:02.000 The 30-year-olds, the 25-year-olds, the 18-year-olds, because they know they're going to have to deal with us.
00:52:08.000 Echoing for decades now, which is why they've tried everything, financial, personal, taking him to court, suing him, going after you guys, going into his house, arresting his friends.
00:52:22.000 This is why.
00:52:24.000 Look, if you put this stuff just as bullet points and handed it to someone and you didn't tell them what country this was, this is totalitarian stuff.
00:52:32.000 This is Castro, Venezuela, East Germany stuff.
00:52:35.000 And, you know...
00:52:37.000 It's all been bouncing off the man.
00:52:39.000 I mean, I don't know how he does it.
00:52:41.000 I saw you talking about it on the golf course with Kai online.
00:52:46.000 I mean, you know, I'm running around all day.
00:52:49.000 I manage a PR firm, get a book deal.
00:52:50.000 I got like 75 clients going.
00:52:53.000 This guy, last week, it's 1045 at night.
00:52:56.000 He's outside in a snowstorm waiting for a hostage that he just got released to come back to the United States to give him a beer.
00:53:05.000 I mean, this is amazing stuff.
00:53:07.000 You have never seen in your life, not even Reagan, work overtime for the American people like this man does.
00:53:15.000 Yeah, I mean, that was sort of funny.
00:53:18.000 I was with him at the Super Bowl, and it's just like, it costs us two pennies to make one penny.
00:53:23.000 We're getting rid of the penny.
00:53:26.000 He's not even watching the Super Bowl.
00:53:28.000 He's just figuring out how to save more money.
00:53:30.000 The guy is a machine.
00:53:31.000 I will give him that.
00:53:33.000 Well, it's unbelievable.
00:53:34.000 And it's funny.
00:53:35.000 The Super Bowl, and I'm a Philly guy, Eagles fan.
00:53:39.000 Look, Kansas City fans, maybe they're bored with their team.
00:53:42.000 They don't really travel.
00:53:43.000 If you've ever met a Philadelphia sports fan, we travel.
00:53:46.000 I was there.
00:53:48.000 That stadium was heavy Philly, like 80-20 heavy Philly, because you could hear it any time anything happened.
00:53:55.000 So when you heard that booing of Taylor Swift, who's from Philadelphia, by the way, and a traitor to us, she grew up in Philly, all right?
00:54:02.000 She used to wear Eagle stuff to her concerts and stuff.
00:54:05.000 So now she's dating Kelsey, the wrong Kelsey, over there on the Chiefs, and you hear them cheer Trump and boo her. 1.00
00:54:12.000 That is Southeast Pennsylvania.
00:54:15.000 Cheering Donald Trump, Eagles fans, but also the people that helped deliver, you know, at 3 o'clock in the morning in 2016, and this time, two times, Pennsylvania.
00:54:27.000 You know, I'm not going to shake a stick at the Steelers fans.
00:54:29.000 They love him too.
00:54:30.000 But that's what that was.
00:54:32.000 That was the MAGA Bowl that was happening there.
00:54:35.000 Yeah, that's the blue-collar former Democrat that just wants common sense.
00:54:38.000 They want to stop.
00:54:40.000 Exporting their American dream, which has been our only export for the last half a century. 0.98
00:54:44.000 They'd like to actually start living that American dream again, which is apparently really shocking to the left.
00:54:51.000 They can't quite grasp it, but seems like it would be pretty much common sense.
00:54:55.000 That's right.
00:54:55.000 And we've come in 10 years.
00:54:57.000 We've come from kneeling with Kaepernick for the national anthem to the brothers doing the Trump dance at UFC, NCAA football, NFL games.
00:55:08.000 During the World Series, during the playoffs, the baseball at second base, dude steals second.
00:55:12.000 They're doing the dance, right?
00:55:14.000 So we've come.
00:55:14.000 Look at how we've come.
00:55:16.000 That's why he's a counterculture icon, because he has drugged these people, kicking and screaming, to doing the Trump dance.
00:55:23.000 So, I mean, I think, you know, that's a positive sign.
00:55:26.000 I mean, I'm loving that.
00:55:27.000 That's why, you know, look, that's why you saw that fight at that hockey game this weekend.
00:55:31.000 Oh, yeah.
00:55:32.000 Right?
00:55:32.000 That's why you saw that.
00:55:33.000 You know, I imagine...
00:55:34.000 Some alternate universe where Trump calls the locker room like Bobby Knight or something, right?
00:55:39.000 And he gets them all hyped up.
00:55:41.000 But they didn't need it.
00:55:42.000 They did not need it.
00:55:43.000 So, you know, they're up in Montreal, right?
00:55:46.000 And, you know, Montreal is not exactly Philadelphia or Pittsburgh or New York City, right?
00:55:50.000 So they're in Montreal.
00:55:51.000 They're playing, you know, what is supposed to be Canada's game. 0.96
00:55:55.000 And within nine seconds, the USA hockey team beats their asses on behalf of, you know... 0.96
00:56:03.000 Brewing the national anthem. 0.82
00:56:04.000 And like I said, if they're not careful, that's going to be their national anthem soon.
00:56:07.000 Right?
00:56:09.000 The 51st state, folks.
00:56:11.000 The 51st state.
00:56:12.000 AJ, where did you get the inspiration to write the White Privilege album?
00:56:18.000 This great book.
00:56:19.000 What will we learn?
00:56:21.000 How much will we laugh?
00:56:22.000 And where can we go to learn more?
00:56:25.000 And also, what's next for you?
00:56:27.000 Yeah, brother.
00:56:28.000 Well, look, I... I work, you know, full-time at Publius PR, and, you know, full disclosure, you know, some of these cabinet picks, we've worked on their books.
00:56:38.000 We've worked on your book, Don, you know, at least with Hachette, the first one.
00:56:42.000 We've worked with Hegseth, we've worked with Tulsi, we've worked with RFK Jr. in his Super PAC. So, you know, look, I like to consider myself the MAGA Kevin Bacon, right?
00:56:52.000 So one or two degrees separated from me, and you could get to a Trump cabinet person.
00:56:56.000 You know, our friend Sergio, many others.
00:56:59.000 Look, I believe that true totalitarianism has arrived when comedians and funny people in general, or meme makers, are scared.
00:57:10.000 They're scared.
00:57:12.000 You know, I always found it interesting that during COVID, the band Rage Against the Machine was making people, of all names, they were making people get vaccinated.
00:57:22.000 And some of the old school rockers like Eric Clapton and Van Morrison were not.
00:57:26.000 Right?
00:57:27.000 So I find that interesting, that the left has sort of become company men.
00:57:31.000 So look, I'm here to try to hit the younger audience for sure, because sometimes you can educate through humor in a way that just giving speeches or just doing nothing but fire and brimstone doesn't.
00:57:46.000 So that's what the books are about, both The Woking Dead, which was my first book, and The White Privilege album.
00:57:51.000 I am working on a third one.
00:57:52.000 We'll see how that goes.
00:57:54.000 It'll be probably out in a year, maybe next year.
00:57:57.000 But look, brother, you are on the front lines.
00:58:00.000 Your buddy Charlie Kirk is as well.
00:58:03.000 We have to just keep going at these people because we have them on the run.
00:58:08.000 And unfortunately, these leftists, these cultural Marxists, they're kind of like STDs. 0.97
00:58:13.000 They're kind of like a herpes flare-up. 0.92
00:58:14.000 You hit them with some medicine, and they go dormant, and then all of a sudden the fever blister comes up.
00:58:19.000 So they'll be back, and we'll be waiting for them.
00:58:23.000 But look, I really appreciate you, everything you do for this country. 0.99
00:58:27.000 I mean, people just really don't know the type of bullshit that you have been put through. 0.98
00:58:33.000 And Eric and even poor Barron, I mean, it's just insane. 0.99
00:58:36.000 But look, you guys are made out of something different.
00:58:39.000 I appreciate it, man.
00:58:41.000 That means a lot.
00:58:41.000 We all know where you get it from.
00:58:45.000 We're seeing that, right?
00:58:46.000 The Zoomers are the number one sort of generation that are going more conservative. 1.00
00:58:50.000 Who would have thought Gen Z, the youngest demographic, would actually be the ones that are becoming most America first? 0.95
00:58:57.000 I think that's in great part due to guys like you actually putting it out there and giving it to them in a way that they can consume it, that they understand, that they figure out.
00:59:06.000 You're right.
00:59:07.000 If you're aligned with big pharma, big education, corporate woke America, every geriatric politician, you're probably not the rebel you think you are.
00:59:20.000 But on our side, we'll let you have those thoughts.
00:59:23.000 We'll let you have that dialogue.
00:59:24.000 We'll let you have that discussion.
00:59:26.000 Not everything is absolute.
00:59:29.000 And with that, we can be successful.
00:59:31.000 We can actually make America the America we all thought it was.
00:59:35.000 That's right.
00:59:36.000 And look, for all that talk last summer about joy, right, we all know, you know this, the trickle-down wokeism is trickle-down misery.
00:59:44.000 They hate the fact that we're all having a good time doing this.
00:59:48.000 We're having a good time dunking on them, right, spiking the football in their face, and they don't know how to handle it.
00:59:55.000 They don't know how to handle Vance and Trump.
00:59:57.000 They don't know how to handle alternative media sources from you to Rogan, books like mine.
01:00:02.000 They can't deal with it.
01:00:04.000 And look, We're really the happy warriors here, right?
01:00:08.000 We are the inheritors of the American tradition, and they can't stand that, and they certainly can't stand it.
01:00:14.000 They're getting audited.
01:00:15.000 The thieves, the hucksters, the grifters are finally getting audited, and they don't know what to do.
01:00:21.000 Well, AJ, thank you very much.
01:00:23.000 Everyone, go check out the book, The White Privilege Album.
01:00:26.000 AJ, thanks for what you're doing.
01:00:27.000 We're going to definitely have to have you back on sometime soon to talk about it, because I imagine the insanity will continue, but...
01:00:34.000 That gives us a lot of material to work with.
01:00:36.000 So really appreciate it, man.
01:00:38.000 Thank you.
01:00:38.000 And I look forward to seeing you soon.
01:00:40.000 Thank you, brother.
01:00:41.000 Keep fighting out there.
01:00:42.000 You're a patriot.
01:00:42.000 Get after it.
