Triggered - Donald Trump Jr - Can Biden Make it Through Presser? Live Reaction, Plus Kari Lake! | TRIGGERED Ep.153

00:00:00.000 you you

00:05:06.000 you hey guys welcome to another huge episode of triggered

00:05:35.000 Joe Biden is scheduled to have his quote-unquote big boy presser. 0.99

00:05:40.000 The big press conference where he proves that he's not an imbecile. 0.99

00:05:44.000 Don't believe your lying eye, folks. 0.99

00:05:47.000 It's gonna be interesting.

00:05:48.000 That's gonna be in about 30 minutes.

00:05:49.000 Let's see if he manages to actually be a big boy and stay up well past his bedtime.

00:05:54.000 You remember last week they said Joe Biden functions fairly competently between the hours of 10 a.m.

00:06:00.000 and 4 p.m.

00:06:01.000 So this is gonna be a couple hours past nap time.

00:06:04.000 Should be interesting.

00:06:06.000 Maybe he walks off but we'll be covering it live and I will be commentating over the top of it simultaneously so you'll get to hear my witty take on They should show that we are about to witness.

00:06:18.000 So, we'll have some fun with that.

00:06:20.000 I'll also be taking your questions or responding to your comments in the live feed during that.

00:06:25.000 So, if you're gonna watch what I imagine will be an abject disaster, this is probably the place to do it.

00:06:32.000 So we'll have some fun.

00:06:33.000 But first...

00:06:34.000 First, we'll be talking with Arizona Senate candidate, my friend Carrie Lake, in just a few moments.

00:06:41.000 And then we'll dip into the presser.

00:06:43.000 We'll cover the news of the week.

00:06:45.000 I'll give you my live reaction.

00:06:47.000 So we have a lot of ground to cover tonight.

00:06:48.000 Could be a long one, depending on how long Joe's able to stand up.

00:06:52.000 And given that, I guess he requested a seat for the debate.

00:06:57.000 I imagine it won't be that long, so we'll have plenty of time to fill afterwards where we can get into the details and have a good time.

00:07:03.000 So make sure you guys are liking, sharing, subscribing.

00:07:06.000 Okay, that's how we get ahead of the algorithm everywhere.

00:07:10.000 The rest of Big Tech, as we all know and talk about all the time, is stacked against us.

00:07:15.000 So we have to work harder to make sure that we break through all of that noise and actually grow this movement.

00:07:21.000 Remember, you can also get the podcast.

00:07:24.000 You can get it on Spotify.

00:08:06.000 You can let your dollars reflect your values.

00:08:08.000 You can literally vote with your wallet and support great American patriotic businesses rather than the liberal communist patriarchy that you see in corporate America.

00:08:18.000 Don't give your money to companies who hate you.

00:08:21.000 Okay, that's a simple concept.

00:08:22.000 This is not rocket science, folk.

00:08:24.000 Give it to freedom-loving companies who actually support you.

00:08:27.000 And if you're a business, by the way, there are millions of consumers who are willing to do that.

00:08:32.000 They're willing to look and to find you.

00:08:34.000 So, list your business on Public Square and move our country one step closer to defeating woke capital. 0.99

00:08:58.000 So, since we're going We're going to do it a little bit reverse.

00:09:04.000 We're not going to do news of the day.

00:09:05.000 We're going to get to Kerry now.

00:09:06.000 We're going to have some fun with this.

00:09:08.000 So now Joe Biden, we're told, is going to go to the podium at around 630.

00:09:13.000 So I wanted to bring Kerry Lake on here, Senate candidate from Arizona, a great friend, a fighter, to preview a little bit of what we may see tonight.

00:09:24.000 And with that, I'll give you Kerry Lake. 0.73

00:09:27.000 Kerry, how are you?

00:09:30.000 I'm doing great.

00:09:30.000 Good to see you, Don.

00:09:31.000 I hope all is well with you and the family and a belated happy birthday.

00:09:35.000 Well, yeah, well, we got, there's a lot of birthdays floating around.

00:09:38.000 So, but yeah, no, thank you so much.

00:09:42.000 Nearly 200 Democrats.

00:09:45.000 voted this week against proof of citizenship to vote.

00:09:50.000 I mean, clearly the Democrats have been flooding the borders with illegals.

00:09:53.000 Obviously, your home state of Arizona, it's a major issue and problem there.

00:09:58.000 And with the Democratic governor there, clearly they're not doing anything about it.

00:10:01.000 But 200 They voted against even having to show a proof of citizenship to vote.

00:10:07.000 They followed Joe Biden's orders to vote against the SAVE Act.

00:10:11.000 Do you think Democrats that vote with Biden need to also be cognitively tested?

00:10:16.000 Because I think it's time, but that's just my opinion.

00:10:20.000 It's just so anti-American.

00:10:22.000 It's America last. 0.74

00:10:23.000 And my opponent, Ruben Gallego, voted against it.

00:10:26.000 He voted to let illegals vote in the election, in this upcoming election.

00:10:31.000 It's shocking.

00:10:33.000 I actually, I really did think, and I'm admitting this, I thought more Democrats would come over and do the right thing on this.

00:10:41.000 I was shocked to find out only four did the right thing, and Ruben Gallego voted to basically let illegals come into this country and vote. 0.95

00:10:50.000 But think about it.

00:10:51.000 They have no other choice.

00:10:52.000 The American people hate the Democrat Party's destructive dead-end policies because they've destroyed our economy, they've destroyed our national security, they've destroyed our communities, they've made our streets unsafe, they've

00:11:06.000 exploded the massive chronic street homeless problem we have, they've made the fentanyl, you

00:11:12.000 know, weapon of mass destruction problem even bigger than it is. Literally everything they

00:11:17.000 touch turns to, I don't want to say it, but you know what I'm talking about. It's really

00:11:21.000 bad for- It ain't gold!

00:11:22.000 It ain't gold, no.

00:11:25.000 It ain't gold, no.

00:11:26.000 Thank you.

00:11:27.000 Thank you, Don.

00:11:28.000 I'm trying, I'm trying, you know, I've got kids, and we've got a cursed jar in the kitchen, and when you say a dirty word, you've got to put money in it.

00:11:34.000 I'm trying to save myself some money.

00:11:36.000 I haven't cursed a jacuzzi, because the jar, it overflows, so... But, no, but the reality is that, but that's the problem, like, hey, you're right, I get it, I try to be better around my kids and stuff like that, but honestly, these days, the expletives, It's almost required, because you're right.

00:11:53.000 I mean, everything is America Last.

00:11:55.000 There's not even a pretense.

00:11:56.000 And so it's like, well, we can't win on policy.

00:11:58.000 We can't do what's right for the American people.

00:12:01.000 So rather than change our ways, Democrats say, well, we'll just import 15 million people.

00:12:07.000 We'll flood the polls.

00:12:08.000 We'll do whatever we can to make them think that they can vote legally.

00:12:11.000 We won't press charges if they do.

00:12:13.000 We'll basically encourage them to do that.

00:12:15.000 No, they have to fill out a form that says, you know, they think they can vote legally.

00:12:19.000 Even if they can't, it doesn't matter.

00:12:20.000 We won't press charges.

00:12:21.000 We won't enforce it.

00:12:22.000 So, you know, they're clearly, you know, that's clearly part of the plan.

00:12:26.000 They know they can't win on policy.

00:12:27.000 They can't win on peace and prosperity.

00:12:29.000 They can't win on anything.

00:12:30.000 So this is their game.

00:12:32.000 This is why they pushed an invasion of our country. 0.98

00:12:35.000 We have literally been invaded.

00:12:38.000 Our country has had an invasion at our border.

00:12:40.000 12 million people, maybe more.

00:12:44.000 Many of them not good people.

00:12:45.000 Many of them we've seen the crime soaring with migrants, crime on American citizens. 1.00

00:12:50.000 A mother of five killed.

00:12:53.000 A young woman with her whole life ahead of her out jogging. 0.87

00:12:56.000 Killed and raped and children being attacked. 0.93

00:12:59.000 It's disgusting what's happening. 1.00

00:13:01.000 They are America last and we have to vote them out. 1.00

00:13:03.000 The problem is our elections still aren't perfect and people, Don, when I'm on the campaign trail, which I am every day, all day, number one question I get is, but our elections are a mess and that's why we continue to fight.

00:13:15.000 I just filed today or I'm filing today in the Arizona Supreme Court another filing to try to get Force the county of Maricopa and other election officials to just follow the law.

00:13:28.000 We don't ask for any favorites.

00:13:30.000 We don't ask for an unlevel playing field.

00:13:32.000 Doesn't seem like an unreasonable ask.

00:13:34.000 I mean, you know, this is the law.

00:13:36.000 We just want legal votes to count.

00:13:38.000 Stick to that.

00:13:40.000 It does not seem like a big ask, but again, I guess that's an act of desperation from the Democrats.

00:13:45.000 But we can't pretend that they're going to be honest brokers in this.

00:13:48.000 They don't care.

00:13:49.000 They talk about freedom and democracy and liberty and all that.

00:13:52.000 It's like a soundbite to them.

00:13:53.000 It doesn't mean anything.

00:13:54.000 They're totalitarian despots at this point.

00:13:57.000 And now they're trying to act like, oh my gosh, we're shocked we didn't know anything was wrong.

00:14:02.000 Oh, we're shocked by what we saw at the debate.

00:14:04.000 This has been happening for years.

00:14:06.000 Everybody with two brain cells saw what was happening with Joe Biden.

00:14:10.000 And for them to feign, you know, shock that they're shocked about what Joe Biden's condition is.

00:14:17.000 And now he's holding a big boy event, a big boy press conference.

00:14:21.000 You know, I remember when I was potty training my kids back when they were little.

00:14:26.000 I've got three little big boys.

00:14:29.000 We'd say, let's put your big boy pants on today. 0.59

00:14:31.000 And this must indicate that Joe Biden's not going to be wearing a diaper tonight.

00:14:35.000 This man is not fit for office.

00:14:37.000 We've known it for a long time.

00:14:38.000 The media has known it for a long time.

00:14:41.000 The Democrat machine in the swamp has known it.

00:14:44.000 And now they want to swap him out because they didn't want to go through the truly democratic process of letting people run for office on the Democrat ticket.

00:14:53.000 And because they might not get somebody they can control that way, they want to just swap him out.

00:14:57.000 You know, frankly, as a woman, as a mother, I'm very concerned over the next four months what our adversaries could do to us with this feeble, cognitively impaired person sitting in the White House.

00:15:11.000 With the nuclear codes.

00:15:13.000 I'm obviously worried about the next four years, but I believe your dad, our favorite president, Donald J. Trump, is going to win.

00:15:19.000 My concern is, how do we get through the next four months?

00:15:22.000 And what are they capable of pulling in the next four months?

00:15:26.000 Well, that's what it is.

00:15:26.000 I mean, again, that's the nature of predation, right?

00:15:29.000 You prey on the weak when they're weak, and that's what the world has been doing with Joe Biden at the helm.

00:15:35.000 I guess the question is, is there ever going to be a reckoning or an accountability for all these Democrats that, no, no, no, this guy is great.

00:15:42.000 This is the guy you want.

00:15:44.000 With the nuclear football at 3 a.m.

00:15:46.000 when something goes wrong.

00:15:47.000 I mean, this is our guy.

00:15:48.000 He's gonna keep you safe and prosperous.

00:15:51.000 I mean, that's clearly been a lie.

00:15:53.000 I wrote a book about it, literally in 2020, called Liberal Privilege.

00:15:57.000 I mean, I knew about it then, and I don't do this for a living, and I wasn't a journalist that was around the guy all the time.

00:16:04.000 Everyone knew.

00:16:05.000 I'd say this is the biggest scandal in the history of American politics, that you could get away with this sort of puppet president.

00:16:13.000 Will there ever be a reckoning or accountability?

00:16:17.000 You know what I want?

00:16:17.000 I want justice.

00:16:19.000 We're forgiving people.

00:16:20.000 People say, oh, just forgive.

00:16:22.000 Well, you can't forgive unless there's been justice.

00:16:24.000 And we haven't seen justice in America for a long time.

00:16:27.000 I believe right now the only thing that will keep us safe for the next four months Is the fact that world leaders and even our adversaries know that your dad and President Donald J. Trump is coming.

00:16:41.000 He's up on deck.

00:16:42.000 He's coming in next.

00:16:44.000 And knowing that he's coming, that will keep us safe the next four months.

00:16:48.000 I believe our adversaries know better than to do anything to hurt America.

00:16:52.000 And I pray at least that that's the case, because they know that when President Trump comes into office, He's not going to go easy on people who try to hurt America.

00:17:01.000 He will fight for this country.

00:17:03.000 He will fight for the people of this country.

00:17:04.000 I talked to a father yesterday, Don.

00:17:06.000 It broke my heart because, as you know, I'm from a big family of nine, eight girls and one boy, and my dad was such a huge influence on my life, a football coach, a history teacher.

00:17:17.000 And he was a strong influence on our lives.

00:17:19.000 And I talked to a dad yesterday.

00:17:20.000 He said, Carrie, I'm a single father of four girls.

00:17:23.000 I'm a working class, blue collar worker.

00:17:26.000 I've got the best credit score I've ever had in my life.

00:17:29.000 And I've been saving.

00:17:30.000 I had been saving to buy a house.

00:17:32.000 And Joe Biden's economy has just knocked me down.

00:17:36.000 I'm living in a fifth wheeler with my children.

00:17:39.000 And no matter how hard he works, he can't get ahead right now.

00:17:43.000 And he's willing to work hard.

00:17:45.000 He's willing to work harder.

00:17:46.000 But this economy just keeps getting worse and worse and worse.

00:17:48.000 And I'm just worried about these families, Don, that I don't know how much longer a lot of these families can hold out before we start seeing a homeless population grow.

00:17:59.000 Not with people hooked on drugs, with people who are working their butts off.

00:18:04.000 But they still can't make it.

00:18:05.000 They can't afford the rent.

00:18:06.000 They can't afford to get by.

00:18:08.000 We've got to get this election.

00:18:10.000 I wish the election were today.

00:18:11.000 If the election were today, we'd watch Arizona go back.

00:18:14.000 President Trump would win.

00:18:16.000 I would win the U.S.

00:18:17.000 Senate.

00:18:17.000 Our poll numbers look great.

00:18:19.000 Our internal poll numbers look great.

00:18:21.000 But unfortunately, we have to wait four months for the election.

00:18:23.000 I do want to tell the people of Arizona, we have primary ballots are in your mailbox.

00:18:28.000 And even though we're way, way, way ahead, we've got to get out and vote.

00:18:32.000 Let's finish this, vote in the primary, and then we'll keep our eye focused on the day we save our country, November 5th, when we vote for President Trump here in Arizona for president, Carrie Lake for U.S.

00:18:43.000 Senate, and Republicans right down the line.

00:18:45.000 Kerry, what do you make of Joe Biden's possible replacement, Kamala Harris?

00:18:49.000 I mean, how do Arizonans view her, especially her ability as the person who was anointed to be a border czar?

00:18:57.000 Doesn't seem like she did all that much, but doesn't seem like she has done all that much, frankly, throughout her career anyway.

00:19:05.000 I don't know how she made it.

00:19:07.000 I don't even know how she arrived.

00:19:08.000 Oh, I know how she made it, but I'm not allowed to say it because they'll call me a misogynist and a sexist, but I'd say it's fairly well documented, but it's just, that's verboten for me to discuss as a conservative male, I guess.

00:19:20.000 So, you know, I'll let Willie Brown do the talking on that.

00:19:23.000 Listen, you know, as I said, Don, I'm from a big family, eight girls, so I love it when we see women doing great, but I also love it when we see great men doing well also.

00:19:33.000 And I don't vote based on someone's gender.

00:19:36.000 I don't vote based on someone's skin color.

00:19:38.000 I vote based on competency.

00:19:40.000 In these positions, we need competent leaders.

00:19:44.000 What we really need are courageous leaders.

00:19:47.000 Not just competent, but competent and courageous.

00:19:49.000 People who are willing to risk everything to do the right thing, even when they have a lot to risk.

00:19:54.000 And we've seen that with your family.

00:19:56.000 You guys have a lot to risk, and you all step forward and do the right thing for our country.

00:20:02.000 And we need more people like that, patriotic leaders.

00:20:05.000 I can't believe there's one person in the world who could be less popular than Joe Biden, but it could be his vice president.

00:20:11.000 Maybe he picked her because of that.

00:20:13.000 He figured nobody would ever want to replace him because she's so disliked, distrusted, and the people have no faith in her abilities.

00:20:22.000 So to me, if they replace Joe Biden with Kamala Harris, I still think it's a landslide victory for Republicans.

00:20:29.000 But frankly, I believe no matter who, They replace him with.

00:20:33.000 No matter who they put in that position, the American people are tired of these dead-end destructive policies of the left.

00:20:40.000 They don't care who it is.

00:20:42.000 You can put a new shiny object out there.

00:20:44.000 The policies are horrible.

00:20:46.000 They're horrible for our families.

00:20:48.000 They're destructive to our businesses.

00:20:50.000 They're dangerous to our children.

00:20:52.000 And they're absolutely horrifying when it comes to foreign policy.

00:20:55.000 And that's a danger to the world, frankly.

00:20:59.000 Yeah, I mean, I'll cover this later, I guess in my rundown, but there's literally a Pentagon slideshow that was shown to soldiers that said pro-life groups are terrorists.

00:21:09.000 I mean, they're grouping them in there with ISIS.

00:21:12.000 How concerned are you about sort of the leftist ideology in the military that's taken over, that's absolutely crushed the recruitment numbers?

00:21:21.000 I'm sure it's crushed our ability to actually function.

00:21:25.000 What's going on?

00:21:28.000 Well, thankfully for every member of the military, their mother was pro-life. 0.65

00:21:32.000 They were born.

00:21:33.000 And we have some very strong, incredible people, hard-working people who love our country and the military.

00:21:39.000 I look forward to after this election.

00:21:42.000 Right now, they're having a hard time recruiting people.

00:21:44.000 I think a lot of people, even if they're families who for decades and generations have been in the military, they don't want to serve under Joe Biden.

00:21:55.000 Even though they love our country, they don't want to serve with Joe Biden as Commander-in-Chief.

00:21:59.000 I predict we are going to see a surge of young, strong men who want to join the military, and a bunch of women as well, who want to join the military when President Trump gets back in office.

00:22:10.000 And we will have, once again, the greatest, strongest military, not a woke military, Um, it concerns me greatly, though, because, you know, a woke military, when we're watching some of these folks at the top, these leaders at the top who are men dressed as women, I mean, that makes us the laughingstock of the world. 0.66

00:22:29.000 Or dogs.

00:22:29.000 Minor details.

00:22:31.000 In, like, bondage outfits.

00:22:32.000 I mean, you know, that strikes fear in the hearts of some, but probably not our enemies.

00:22:36.000 Yeah, no, it doesn't.

00:22:38.000 But I predict we're gonna see a turnaround.

00:22:41.000 And the beautiful thing is, these problems we have, while they are dire and horrible, and we don't have to have these problems, Joe Biden created all of them, and my opponent, Ruben Gallego, rubber-stamped it all.

00:22:54.000 We can solve these problems.

00:22:55.000 We saw how.

00:22:56.000 America First policies.

00:22:57.000 Boom! 0.99

00:22:58.000 The border is easily fixed.

00:23:00.000 We can do that immediately.

00:23:02.000 Boom! 0.99

00:23:02.000 We can bring back the energy sector and bring down gas prices and energy prices and create really good high-paying jobs. 0.99

00:23:09.000 And we don't have to be dependent.

00:23:11.000 On Middle East oil or oil from, you know, Venezuela, for goodness sakes.

00:23:16.000 We can turn the economy around, bring back Trump policies that had a strong economy, reshore businesses and manufacturing, enabling American men and women to get good jobs once again.

00:23:27.000 We'll solve the problems quickly.

00:23:29.000 We're in a world of hurt right now and I want the people who are watching right now to know, look, It's going to be a dicey four months.

00:23:35.000 We all know that.

00:23:36.000 Come January, when President Trump is sworn into office, when I'm sworn into the U.S.

00:23:40.000 Senate, and a whole bunch of other great folks who are willing to step up for this moment and serve, we are going to turn this around quickly.

00:23:46.000 And we are going to see our most prosperous period, I believe, in maybe our lifetimes, Dawn.

00:23:52.000 I told my kids, I know you have a large family and some amazing children.

00:23:56.000 My daughter's 21.

00:23:58.000 My son is 19.

00:23:59.000 And Ruby, the other day at dinner, She looked at me dead serious and she said, Mom, I did the math.

00:24:04.000 Even if I work every waking hour from literally, if it was possible, the minute I wake up until the minute I go to bed, I won't be able to save enough money to afford a house in Arizona.

00:24:15.000 And I thought, wow, I mean, here I have wonderfully hardworking kids and they're willing to work hard, but working from the minute you wake up until the minute you go to bed and it's still impossible to achieve the American dream.

00:24:27.000 We've got to all jump in and get involved.

00:24:29.000 The next four months, if you're not willing to sacrifice literally everything for this country, I don't know what it's going to take, because we're on the verge of losing the greatest nation that's ever existed on this planet.

00:24:41.000 And I'm seeing it on the campaign trail.

00:24:43.000 We started a bus tour just a few days ago.

00:24:46.000 We've been all over the state.

00:24:48.000 Massive crowds showing up.

00:24:49.000 We pulled the bus over, and all of a sudden, cars start doing U-turns.

00:24:52.000 They pull in.

00:24:53.000 They follow our bus.

00:24:55.000 And we have big crowds of people saying, how can I get involved?

00:24:58.000 What can I do, aside from voting, to make sure that President Trump gets in the White House, you get in the Senate, and we save our country?

00:25:06.000 This movement is so big.

00:25:08.000 They've been lying to us, telling us we're 50-50, 51-49.

00:25:11.000 That is, that's BS.

00:25:16.000 This country is actually so much more united than anybody understands.

00:25:20.000 And once we just turn off the fake news, give them zero power, don't give them any of our attention, that's when we'll realize how united we are as a country.

00:25:29.000 And we're taking our country back November 5th.

00:25:31.000 It's going to be historic.

00:25:32.000 And we are going to, come January 25th, start seeing our government shrunk down, we the people in charge.

00:25:40.000 And once again, we'll see some justice for all of the wrongdoing that's been inflicted on us.

00:25:45.000 Yeah, no, I think you're right.

00:25:46.000 I see that too.

00:25:46.000 I was at the rally down in Miami on Tuesday with my father, and a kid came up to me like, hey, I have my Marine Corps paper signed.

00:25:55.000 The second your father wins the election, I'm going to just join the Marine Corps.

00:25:59.000 But they're not going to do it under Joe Biden.

00:26:03.000 And by the way, the guy's not wrong at all.

00:26:06.000 So I see it.

00:26:07.000 I see the momentum so early.

00:26:09.000 It's great.

00:26:11.000 I would sign up for the military if they're taking middle-aged women, if your dad was the commander-in-chief, but I think I'm a little too old to jump into the military.

00:26:19.000 Hey, listen, I would much rather have you in there than, like, the trans-admiral, so you don't have to know how to hold a gun, you don't have to know anything. 0.73

00:26:26.000 Basically, I don't think you need to know how to do anything militarily to still be a force to be reckoned with relative to some of the garbage that I see out there on a daily basis, so I don't think you actually have to worry about that.

00:26:39.000 How about I just go serve in a role in the U.S.

00:26:42.000 Senate and help make sure we get that America First agenda moved through quickly. 0.99

00:26:46.000 We get all those cabinet confirmations quickly confirmed so that each and every one of them can go into those departments, shrink them down, clean house, cut out all the bureaucracy, and we get the Supreme Court and judicial picks approved, and we start turning things around.

00:27:01.000 That's how I think I'm best.

00:27:03.000 I don't think I can do 50 push-ups.

00:27:06.000 What else do people need to know about your race in Arizona and primarily, ultimately, your opponent Ruben Gallego?

00:27:15.000 Well, let me tell you who he is.

00:27:17.000 Right now, he's endorsed by the Soros family, so he's got billions of dollars to spend.

00:27:22.000 And the fact of the matter is nobody really knows him.

00:27:25.000 For a decade, he's been a congressman.

00:27:27.000 He came here as a far-left Democrat from Chicago to Arizona to run and get in our political system and try to turn our state blue.

00:27:36.000 Since he's been in the Congress, he has voted most radical votes we've ever seen in Arizona.

00:27:43.000 I don't know any Democrat who actually thinks Joe Biden's been right 100% of the time.

00:27:47.000 Even AOC doesn't think Joe Biden's been right 100% of the time.

00:27:52.000 But my opponent, Ruben Gallego, has voted with Joe Biden and Kamala Harris 100% of the time.

00:27:59.000 And now he's trying to, you know, go into hiding because there's a complete meltdown in the Democrat Party.

00:28:04.000 Ruben Gallego has voted and supported sanctuary cities and sanctuary states.

00:28:09.000 He's voted for a wide open border.

00:28:10.000 He called the border wall, which is the most effective, cheapest way to secure our border. 1.00

00:28:15.000 He called it dumb and stupid and said he would never, ever, ever. 1.00

00:28:18.000 Yes, he said ever three times, like a 13-year-old girl. 1.00

00:28:22.000 He said he would never, ever, ever fund it.

00:28:24.000 He has voted for asylum for everybody who's invaded our country and voting rights, which would forever change our nation. 0.97

00:28:32.000 He's actually marched and defunded police rallies.

00:28:35.000 And when our cities were burning back in 2020, when Minneapolis was on fire and hard-earned folks were watching their businesses burn to the ground and there was rioting, looting, He was actually out there saying, let's get rid of the filibuster, he said, in order to put the George Floyd legislation to pass that and bring defunding of the police nationwide.

00:28:56.000 I could go on and on and on about the federal investigation of a company he worked for, for Medicare fraud, about the fact that he's voted.

00:29:03.000 And because of his votes for the last two years, we watched Medicare cuts, about the fact that his secret plan is to destroy Social Security.

00:29:13.000 And I mean, Don, opposition research.

00:29:16.000 I'm going to let some people in.

00:29:18.000 I didn't know all of this before I got into politics as a citizen politician.

00:29:22.000 Opposition research is basically everything your opponent has been up to their whole life, all the bad stuff and everything they've done.

00:29:29.000 And literally his opposition research book, it's a three ring file.

00:29:34.000 It's It's this big.

00:29:36.000 I can't even carry it.

00:29:37.000 It's almost too heavy.

00:29:39.000 His voting record has been disastrous for Arizona and, frankly, America.

00:29:45.000 And he's against your dad's tax cuts, the Trump tax cuts, which gave us, everybody in America, more money in their pocket.

00:29:53.000 He already said he's not going to vote to keep the Trump tax cuts, which would mean in January of 25, if he were to be elected, everybody would see a 20 or 30% increase in their taxes.

00:30:05.000 I don't know anybody who can afford that.

00:30:07.000 That's how dangerous this man is.

00:30:09.000 That's why everybody, if they love President Trump and want to get back to good America First policies, have to vote Trump and Lake in Arizona.

00:30:18.000 Well, Carrie, thank you very much, as always.

00:30:21.000 I think the Joe Biden press conference is just going to begin in a few minutes, so we'll go to that live when it begins.

00:30:26.000 But I want to appreciate just all the work that you're putting in there.

00:30:29.000 Look forward to seeing you out in Arizona in the not-too-distant future.

00:30:33.000 And just keep going strong, Carrie.

00:30:36.000 I want you to come on out and join our bus tour, and I'm going to see you next week when we make history and watch your dad be nominated for a third time to be the greatest president we've ever had in our country.

00:30:47.000 I'm looking forward to seeing you at the convention, and then we'll be back here in Arizona.

00:30:51.000 If you're watching from Arizona, get those primary ballots in.

00:30:54.000 We want to have a huge victory.

00:30:56.000 We love the Trump family, and thank you, Don, for everything you do to save our country.

00:31:02.000 It's truly appreciated, I can tell you, all across Arizona.

00:31:05.000 Well, it's my honor.

00:31:05.000 Thanks a lot, Carrie.

00:31:06.000 We'll talk to you soon.

00:31:07.000 I'll see you next week.

00:31:08.000 Thanks.

00:31:09.000 Okay.

00:31:11.000 Okay, guys.

00:31:12.000 So Joe Biden's press conference will begin in a few minutes, apparently.

00:31:16.000 We'll see.

00:31:18.000 You know, I speculated last week, perhaps the reason the debate went so badly.

00:31:23.000 Hunter Biden has apparently been in the White House as, you know, Joe Biden's consigliere.

00:31:27.000 Maybe he's been You know, getting into Biden's supply of whatever drugs they're jacking him up with.

00:31:32.000 So maybe, maybe we'll see a young, vibrant and spry Joe Biden in just a couple minutes.

00:31:38.000 I'm not going to count on that, but when it begins, we'll go there.

00:31:41.000 In the meantime, I'm going to have the team pull up You guys pull up the uh live feed uh also in my laptop up here uh so we can get that going and I can answer your questions in the meantime while we wait because you know Joe's not often on time and if he's not quite jacked up enough or the drugs haven't kicked in yet or perhaps they wore off and they gotta

00:32:00.000 Re-administer?

00:32:01.000 It could take a little while.

00:32:02.000 But before we do that, I want to make sure to get to one more of our great sponsors, okay?

00:33:32.000 Alright, flag it when we start.

00:33:34.000 That way I continue to yak.

00:33:35.000 I'm starting to see some questions pop in there.

00:33:37.000 Alright.

00:33:39.000 Bye.

00:33:39.000 Guys.

00:33:40.000 Now.

00:33:41.000 As I told you on Monday, Joe Biden's new top White House advisor, and I told you this a few minutes ago, is actually Hunter Biden.

00:33:49.000 This is amazing stuff.

00:33:52.000 Our enemies are salivating.

00:33:54.000 Joe is left having to huddle with his crackhead son because no one else in the Democrat Party wants anything to do with him right now.

00:34:01.000 Even Obama.

00:34:03.000 Barack Obama, who gave us this guy and has probably been pulling the marionette strings for the last couple years, is turning on Biden.

00:34:11.000 This morning, Politico reported that Obama was fine with George Clooney's op-ed calling on Joe Biden to drop out.

00:34:19.000 And then, Morning Joe, Biden's favorite show, said Biden's campaign thinks Obama is behind it all.

00:34:26.000 Check it out for yourself.

00:34:29.000 Let's say one thing that we do have to underline here just so so viewers can can follow what's going on behind the scenes is is the Biden campaign and many Democratic officials do believe that Barack Obama is is quietly working behind the scenes to orchestrate this.

00:34:53.000 By the way, I'm seeing something in the feed.

00:34:55.000 Law passed.

00:34:55.000 ID required.

00:34:56.000 No, no, no.

00:34:57.000 It passed the House.

00:34:58.000 It's never going to get past the Democrat-controlled Senate.

00:35:01.000 And Joe Biden has already said that he would veto it.

00:35:04.000 So that's fake news.

00:35:05.000 Just because it gets through the House by a couple of votes, barely, and 198 Democrats voted against it, doesn't mean it passed into law.

00:35:13.000 That's a big difference, guys.

00:35:14.000 But again, back to Obama.

00:35:16.000 Obama is probably behind it all.

00:35:18.000 He's never been a fan of Biden.

00:35:20.000 It was just the guy that they could sell to America and is, you know, bumbling Joe.

00:35:23.000 He's, you know, blue-collar Joe.

00:35:25.000 He's never worked a blue-collar job in his life, but minor details.

00:35:28.000 Remember, he was the guy that pushed George Clooney and all of these things.

00:35:31.000 George Clooney finally came out.

00:35:32.000 It's enough.

00:35:33.000 It's different.

00:35:34.000 It's time to move on.

00:35:34.000 George Clooney still weren't clear.

00:35:36.000 Three weeks ago held a fundraiser for Joe Biden.

00:35:40.000 I think they raked in about 30 million dollars.

00:35:42.000 So you're telling me that George Clooney didn't know that this was a disaster then?

00:35:46.000 He's been doing events with him for the last four years.

00:35:49.000 George Clooney knew.

00:35:51.000 He's complicit.

00:35:53.000 He lied to the American people. 0.99

00:35:55.000 Either that or George Clooney is perhaps dumber than Joe Biden himself, which is a very distinct possibility, okay? 0.99

00:36:02.000 Just because you're good at pretending doesn't mean you're necessarily intelligent. 0.98

00:36:05.000 We should be very clear about that.

00:36:08.000 Obama, again, is likely behind it all.

00:36:10.000 He's never been a fan of Joe.

00:36:12.000 It was always Obama.

00:36:14.000 Okay, it was about him. 1.00

00:36:16.000 This was just the useful idiot. 1.00

00:36:18.000 Remember Obama's quote? 1.00

00:36:19.000 Never underestimate Joe's ability to F things up.

00:36:23.000 Well, Biden has clearly F'd it all up.

00:36:28.000 NBC News And the New York Times are now both reporting that Biden campaign aides think he has no shot of winning, and they want to convince him to drop out.

00:36:39.000 Even Biden's cabinet secretaries are leaking.

00:36:42.000 One of them told CNN today that they don't know what condition Joe Biden is in.

00:36:48.000 His cabinet secretaries don't know.

00:36:50.000 Who knows?

00:36:51.000 Maybe Biden will drop out during the press conference, which was supposed to start about two minutes ago, but, you know, again, Who knows what they're jacking up Joe with.

00:37:00.000 If Joe Biden is out, it would appear that Kamala Harris is up.

00:37:05.000 I've told you about how radical she is.

00:37:08.000 Here's a video that summarizes her incredibly well.

00:37:14.000 Eventually, everyone would be taken off a private, the private plan that their company currently has.

00:37:23.000 Yeah.

00:37:24.000 There's no question I'm in favor of banning fracking.

00:37:26.000 Do you ban plastic straws?

00:37:28.000 I think we should.

00:37:29.000 Yes.

00:37:30.000 I am prepared to get rid of the filibuster to pass a Green New Deal. 0.54

00:37:35.000 On day one we're going to repeal that tax bill.

00:37:38.000 But we've got to increase the corporate tax rate and also looking at estate taxes are going to have to go up.

00:37:44.000 And under my plan there will also be a carbon fee.

00:37:48.000 So I decided I was going to start prosecuting parents for truancy.

00:37:54.000 Oh, that cackle was something.

00:38:02.000 But whether it's Biden or Harris, it doesn't change the radical left-wing policies that will be pushed, right?

00:38:09.000 No matter what, that's what these people are.

00:38:10.000 They're radicals. 1.00

00:38:11.000 They are insane. 0.97

00:38:13.000 Just look at what's happening with our military.

00:38:15.000 A recent anti-terrorism briefing at an army base labeled several pro-life organizations, including National Right to Life and Operation Rescue, as terrorist groups.

00:38:27.000 I mean, just American religious groups, these are terrorists in these people's minds.

00:38:33.000 Okay, just so we're clear.

00:38:34.000 I know this seems too shocking to be real, but in a statement this afternoon, this afternoon, the Army confirmed that this slideshow was used at Fort Liberty. 0.93

00:38:46.000 Many of you who aren't woke and imbecilic used to call it Fort Bragg. 0.90

00:38:53.000 Okay, that's the home of many special forces, some great patriots. 1.00

00:38:57.000 This is the crap they are pushing there. 0.99

00:39:02.000 And 198 House Democrats just voted against stopping illegal immigrants from voting in elections. 1.00

00:39:09.000 They're not even pretending anymore, folks.

00:39:12.000 They are so desperate for power that they will let this country get destroyed just for the illegal voters, right? 1.00

00:39:20.000 You heard Carrie Lake talking about Americans not being able to get by.

00:39:24.000 They don't care.

00:39:25.000 They're going to give your taxpayer money to these Folks who aren't here legally, who haven't contributed, but who will reliably vote for their communist policies.

00:39:39.000 Our country can't win wars if our military starts to sound like an MSNBC panel, okay?

00:39:45.000 That's not gonna happen.

00:39:46.000 And our country won't survive another four years of open borders. 0.63

00:39:51.000 While Joe Biden is certainly weak as hell, and Kamala is crazy, nothing's going to change because the Democrats at the top are all this way.

00:40:00.000 They believe these things are somehow working. 0.97

00:40:04.000 But anyone with a brain and a pair of eyes understands that's not the case.

00:40:09.000 We can't risk anything.

00:40:11.000 You can be a part of the team that's putting a stop to crooked Joe Biden and the far-left Democrats.

00:40:17.000 Trump Force 47 is the most sophisticated ground game ever put together by Republicans, and it's already having an impact on this election.

00:40:26.000 Last time, the Democrats used every trick in the book to steal the election.

00:40:30.000 This time, we are making it too big to rig.

00:40:33.000 We are going to break and beat the margin of fraud to win.

00:40:38.000 My father needs your help to get it done.

00:40:40.000 Your small time commitments will have a huge impact on the election in November.

00:40:46.000 You can become a Trump Force 47 captain and organize your neighborhood by connecting with

00:40:52.000 voters that live near you.

00:40:55.000 Every vote counts.

00:40:56.000 We can't take anything for granted.

00:40:58.000 We have to get involved.

00:41:00.000 So go to TrumpForce47.com, TrumpForce47.com to join the team.

00:41:08.000 Stop Joe Biden and his woke cronies from destroying this incredible nation. 0.97

00:41:13.000 Okay.

00:41:15.000 Are we live?

00:41:16.000 Still waiting.

00:41:17.000 All right.

00:41:18.000 I think we're staring at an empty podium, which is basically the same as if Joe Biden was actually on the podium, but I'm going to go to the live feed.

00:41:25.000 I'm going to take some of your guys' questions.

00:41:29.000 Do you have any thoughts on what's going on in Arizona?

00:41:33.000 The Kerry Lake stuff, etc.

00:41:37.000 Let's just see what's going on.

00:41:41.000 Donate to Trump 47.

00:41:43.000 That certainly, that helps, Patty.

00:41:44.000 Thank you.

00:41:45.000 Well, you know, or that's, sorry, Marine Corporal 1985.

00:41:47.000 Sorry, the live feed was going a little too fast.

00:41:53.000 Yeah, get involved.

00:41:54.000 Yeah, you're right.

00:41:54.000 Yes, hold the line.

00:41:55.000 Become, you know, poll watchers.

00:41:58.000 Sea Heaven 0207.

00:41:58.000 Yes, that matters.

00:42:03.000 Don, how will we stop the illegals from voting and stop them from getting social security cards? 0.99

00:42:06.000 Well, they're giving them to them now.

00:42:08.000 You have to make people understand that there are consequences to this.

00:42:11.000 Just because the Democrats pretend it's not against the law doesn't mean it's not.

00:42:15.000 And I think we have to spend a lot of money making sure that people know that if they're doing these things illegally, they'll be prosecuted.

00:42:21.000 Um, that's, you know, that's a reality.

00:42:24.000 You heard about, you know, the, the Dropbox situation in Wisconsin last week.

00:42:29.000 And, you know, hey, we got to raise a bunch more money.

00:42:31.000 We got to put cameras, even hidden cameras on each and every one of these things.

00:42:35.000 And when you catch them playing the games, you got to go after them.

00:42:39.000 Uh, you know, we need people in Congress to follow up.

00:42:41.000 We need people in the state legislators to follow up.

00:42:43.000 We just can't.

00:42:44.000 Be weak anymore.

00:42:45.000 You know, we exude weakness even from the conservative side so much, we actually have to just finally say enough is enough, put our big boy pants on, and fight the way the Democrats would.

00:42:58.000 And if we do that, we win.

00:42:59.000 It's like a no-brainer.

00:43:00.000 I mean, no one actually believes these policies are good, but, you know, they're getting fed a narrative by the mainstream media.

00:43:06.000 They spend countless dollars.

00:43:07.000 You heard Kerry say, you know, Ruben Gallego from Chicago, Soros funded.

00:43:11.000 Alex Soros just got engaged to Huma Abedin.

00:43:15.000 Yesterday or the day before, Hillary Clinton's former aide, the woman who was married to, I guess, convicted sex offender Anthony Weiner.

00:43:23.000 I mean, she's going to be a decision maker with the billions of dollars that I'm sure she'll hire and push reasonable candidates. 1.00

00:43:32.000 Uh, sarcasm font.

00:43:35.000 Uh, but, you know, that's what these guys do.

00:43:37.000 They are, they play to win.

00:43:38.000 I'm not gonna, you know, I'm not gonna sugarcoat that.

00:43:40.000 We certainly don't most of the time.

00:43:41.000 So, uh, we have to change that.

00:43:44.000 And, uh, we, we will, if we do that and everyone fights the same way they do, I think it's a no-brainer.

00:43:49.000 The fact that when you think about what we're up against, right?

00:43:53.000 A trillion-dollar institution that is the mainstream media, trillion dollars in big tech, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera.

00:44:00.000 And the fact that elections are even close, it's almost impossible to believe.

00:44:06.000 That tells me that we actually are winning on policy.

00:44:09.000 We just have to make sure we're not afraid, we're not pushed down into corners, we don't let the suppression, the cancellation affect us anymore.

00:44:17.000 We just have to fight to protect our country into the future.

00:44:23.000 You know.

00:44:24.000 You gotta get out there and just vote, and you gotta make sure it's counted, and you gotta make sure people are watching, and if you understand how to do the poll watching, and you're tough enough to call out the nonsense, and you're not gonna get pushed around, get involved.

00:44:38.000 Don Jr., Ted Nugent for Borders are.

00:44:41.000 That would be great.

00:44:42.000 This is something I could totally endorse.

00:44:47.000 If Joe goes before his term ends, will Kamala be 47?

00:44:49.000 Yes.

00:44:51.000 Probably.

00:44:53.000 That would seem how it would work, right?

00:44:54.000 She would be the next president.

00:44:55.000 She just doesn't become like 46 part 2, so she'd be 47.

00:45:00.000 And honestly, I think...

00:45:02.000 I mean, okay, actually, this is an interesting one.

00:45:05.000 Hey, type in the live chat, give me a number one, if you would rather run against Joe Biden, meaning to win for conservatives, or number two, if you would rather run against Kamala Harris.

00:45:17.000 So would you rather be running against Joe Biden?

00:45:21.000 Number one, if you're rather run against Kamala Harris, give me a two. 1.00

00:45:24.000 Let's, let's see what, I'm just kind of curious where we are here.

00:45:30.000 What do you guys think?

00:45:32.000 Uh, well, okay I

00:45:39.000 A lot more ones.

00:45:40.000 Okay.

00:45:42.000 Okay.

00:45:42.000 There's, there's 1.5.

00:45:43.000 Uh, so there's a lot of ones.

00:45:47.000 We have more twos popping in now.

00:45:50.000 Um, is this true? 0.93

00:45:54.000 Ryan 999 says, holy ass Biden just introduced Zelensky as president Putin. 0.95

00:46:03.000 This is incredible. 0.98

00:46:04.000 And now I want to hand it over to President of the Ukraine, ladies and gentlemen, President Putin. 1.00

00:46:11.000 I mean, you can't make this shit up. 0.99

00:46:13.000 I mean, please? 0.99

00:46:16.000 Okay, how about this?

00:46:17.000 New.

00:46:18.000 Type number three. 0.98

00:46:20.000 If I'm just the star of the Truman Show, if, like, I'm Jim Carrey and the Truman Show, and you guys are all just fucking with me, okay?

00:46:30.000 I'm sorry for the language, but, like, How is it possible? 0.87

00:46:36.000 How is it possible?

00:46:37.000 Please, if I'm just the star of the Truman Show, someone's gotta break.

00:46:42.000 Tell me the truth.

00:46:43.000 Three, three, okay.

00:46:44.000 It has to be.

00:46:45.000 I have no choice, so.

00:46:47.000 Okay, we're gonna play the Putin clip so you guys see it right now.

00:46:53.000 Watch this thing.

00:46:54.000 I mean, it's literally, it never ends.

00:46:57.000 It never ends.

00:46:57.000 Alright, play it.

00:47:00.000 And now I want to hand it over to the President of Ukraine, who has as much courage as he has determination.

00:47:07.000 Ladies and gentlemen, President Putin.

00:47:09.000 What?

00:47:17.000 Oh, did it play?

00:47:18.000 Oh, I didn't see it.

00:47:18.000 I'm sorry, I was waiting for it to see.

00:47:20.000 So, I didn't see it.

00:47:21.000 So, on a scale of 1 to kill yourself, how bad is that?

00:47:26.000 I mean, literally, it's like the only thing he cares about, and he can't even get that right.

00:47:34.000 Spectacular.

00:47:35.000 I mean, this press conference is gonna be truly special.

00:47:37.000 I mean, I think this press conference is, it's actually the opportunity for, like, a journalist to, like, you can actually take out a president.

00:47:46.000 If you ask a good question the right way and follow up the right way, you could actually be, like, you could actually do something in your otherwise worthless lives, uh, and careers, you know, because I'm sure it's gonna be staffed with all liberal, you know, journalists that will never do anything other than carry the water of the Democrat Party, but, like, I don't know. 0.98

00:48:04.000 You could add it to your resume that you took the kill shot, like, on a president, figuratively speaking, because I know someone's gonna, you know, call Secret Service, but, like, of a presidency, and take out, you know, a moron with this answer. 0.99

00:48:16.000 I mean, it's amazing. 1.00

00:48:20.000 Yeah, Douglast for real?

00:48:22.000 Yeah, I just played it.

00:48:24.000 Like, it's insane. 0.95

00:48:28.000 Okay, so on the scale of one to kill yourself, I'm seeing a lot of kill yourself.

00:48:32.000 Yeah, no, it's that bad, right? 1.00

00:48:37.000 Rollory 910, what a dumbass. 1.00

00:48:38.000 Yes, that is putting it mildly. 1.00

00:48:42.000 Ah, toasty seats, this is interesting.

00:48:44.000 Pre-loaded questions, question mark.

00:48:47.000 You know what?

00:48:48.000 Thus far, it's been three and a half years of preloaded questions.

00:48:52.000 I do think the media, because again, they're not, you know, taking out Joe, they think is actually good for the Democrats, right?

00:49:00.000 So it's a little different.

00:49:02.000 It's not, they're not protecting the Democrats anymore.

00:49:05.000 They think they're protecting him by taking him out.

00:49:07.000 So I don't know if they're going to do with the preloaded questions anymore.

00:49:10.000 I don't think they're going to go for that.

00:49:11.000 I think they may actually go for that sort of, you know, verbal kill shot because Because that's how they do the bidding of the Democrat Party, right?

00:49:21.000 He's lost most of the Democrat Party.

00:49:23.000 He has to still kind of ultimately decide for himself a little bit, or at least that's the way to make it easy.

00:49:29.000 But I don't see the Democrats or the press doing that because It's no longer a favor to the Democrat Party.

00:49:38.000 All they do is favors to the Democrat Party.

00:49:41.000 They are the today's press corps, the White House press corps, you know, with the exception of maybe two or three people that occasionally get to answer questions, they are activists for the Democrat Party.

00:49:53.000 They are regime propagandists.

00:49:56.000 That's what they do.

00:49:57.000 So, you know, in this case, the regime propaganda would actually be probably for helping displace Joe Biden.

00:50:08.000 And so, so I don't think they're going to do the preloaded questions anymore.

00:50:12.000 Um, Don Jr.

00:50:20.000 Where are the custom emojis for pedo Pete from your father and yours?

00:50:24.000 I you know what?

00:50:27.000 Everyone knows you.

00:50:30.000 I don't know.

00:50:31.000 I don't have a custom emoji.

00:50:32.000 I'm too busy doing everything else.

00:50:34.000 I haven't worried about it.

00:50:34.000 But you know, I'm sure I'm sure they'll come up with something.

00:50:41.000 Let's see.

00:50:44.000 This is a good one.

00:50:47.000 Don, how can you support JD Vance after hearing what he said about your father in the past?

00:50:52.000 Listen, anyone else who's been in there, look at the stuff that they said about my father in the past in the throes of a primary.

00:50:56.000 By the way, in 2016, hey, you have a brash billionaire from New York.

00:51:00.000 Is he going to do those things he said?

00:51:02.000 Does he have that ability?

00:51:04.000 So he proved that.

00:51:05.000 And those, you know, there's a few that have gone on the record saying, Hey, I was, I was a hundred percent wrong.

00:51:09.000 But in 16, don't forget, everyone was the enemy of my father and he was going to fail miserably on these things.

00:51:14.000 And he was going to be the worst president on XYZ on everything.

00:51:17.000 So, you know, those people who actually do a mea culpa and then spend, you know, the last four or five years truly fighting at six years and, you know, fighting back and being like, Hey, I was wrong.

00:51:28.000 And he's, he's great.

00:51:30.000 Uh, I get that.

00:51:34.000 It takes a lot to actually do that.

00:51:37.000 I have a lot less respect for the people who pretend they didn't say these things and are big buddies, but the ones who go out there and say, hey, I was wrong, here's why Trump's right, and then literally vigorously defends you, J.D.

00:51:48.000 Vance is arguably I don't even know.

00:51:50.000 Arguably.

00:51:50.000 I mean, I think he's by far, you know, the best senator in the Senate pushing the issues that matters, and he can articulate it better than all of them.

00:51:58.000 There's a couple of great guys there, but it's a very small number.

00:52:02.000 It's not even close.

00:52:05.000 So, it's a big one.

00:52:07.000 Let's see.

00:52:09.000 Note cards galore.

00:52:10.000 I'm sure that'll be a big one.

00:52:11.000 We may be here for hours because, you know, who knows?

00:52:13.000 He was supposed to start 17 minutes ago now, and he hasn't been there yet, but let's see what happens.

00:52:20.000 But for you guys, like, I mean, is that a fair explanation?

00:52:24.000 Is there anything else I need to sort of explain as it relates to that?

00:52:29.000 You know, there are people, hey, you know, next week's convention week.

00:52:34.000 In 2016, I literally almost got in a fistfight with Mike Lee on the floor of the convention.

00:52:38.000 He's a senator from Utah.

00:52:39.000 He's like now one of our better fighters out there.

00:52:41.000 He's become a good friend.

00:52:44.000 You know, hey, once people actually saw that you were real and you say the guy from New York, you know, that everyone was like, oh, he's a Democrat, like actually wasn't and actually pushed conservative values.

00:52:54.000 You know, people can change their mind and they can have a very different opinion.

00:52:57.000 But eight years ago at that convention, you know, Mike and I did not get along all that well.

00:53:03.000 And, you know, that's fine.

00:53:04.000 We've since made up and we're good friends now.

00:53:11.000 15 minutes to go.

00:53:12.000 Really?

00:53:13.000 I don't know what that means.

00:53:14.000 I guess 15 minutes late, but...

00:53:19.000 Okay.

00:53:21.000 Barry McGowan.

00:53:25.000 How quick does Junior gut and skin an elk?

00:53:27.000 I mean, I can gut an elk in probably five minutes.

00:53:29.000 I mean, you know, that part's pretty easy.

00:53:32.000 The field dressing part.

00:53:33.000 Skinning takes a little bit longer.

00:53:34.000 A lot of it really depends on how long everything sits.

00:53:37.000 If you get something in a place where you can get it, you know, or even get it hung fast while it's still warm, you can do it a lot faster than if you sort of have to, sort of, once it gets cold.

00:53:47.000 So the skinning part, You know, that could take a little bit longer, but basic field dressing?

00:53:51.000 I mean, that's real fast.

00:53:56.000 Funny, I've got a funny gutting an elk story.

00:54:00.000 I tagged out, I just got a secret service detail in like, I guess it was 16.

00:54:08.000 Right after we won, they get a Secret Service detail.

00:54:11.000 I drew a tag for Elk.

00:54:13.000 It was like a late-season archery tag.

00:54:15.000 I went out there, and I had, like, you know, Secret Service guys on me, and they were right on my butt with, like, MP5s, and I'm trying to stalk up and...

00:54:24.000 You know, an elk in the woods.

00:54:26.000 And I was like, guys, this isn't going to work.

00:54:28.000 Like, this does not work.

00:54:30.000 Like, they're like, well, how much more space do you need?

00:54:31.000 I was like, like a thousand yards.

00:54:33.000 I need a thousand yards more of space.

00:54:35.000 So finally I got the space I needed.

00:54:36.000 And we're, you know, pretty good Trump country.

00:54:37.000 I'm not too worried about it.

00:54:39.000 Uh, you know, managed to actually tag out in a couple days, uh, on an elk.

00:54:44.000 Uh, and I get to work, you know, gutting this elk.

00:54:48.000 And, uh, one of the guys on the detail who became a very good friend of mine afterwards and everything and that it was, it was sort of funny, but literally saw me gutting an elk and just literally started throwing up.

00:55:00.000 Guys, this is gonna be a long detail for you if you can't handle this one.

00:55:03.000 So I was like, by the way, what happens if I get shot?

00:55:07.000 And if you can't handle the elk guts, what happens if, like, you gotta handle me getting shot?

00:55:10.000 And I was, according to those guys, I was the number two most threatened guy in the government at the time or, you know, shortly thereafter.

00:55:16.000 So, you know, figured could have been a decent chance to that.

00:55:20.000 So that was just, I don't know, random sort of funny elk gutting story while we wait.

00:55:26.000 Any other random thoughts while we're at it?

00:55:28.000 Uh, gun questions, fishing questions, political questions.

00:55:33.000 Speed's going pretty fast.

00:55:34.000 Let me scroll down to the bottom.

00:55:35.000 Uh, uh, oh.

00:55:39.000 Yeah, born to eat toast.

00:55:41.000 The triceratops hoax was pretty funny.

00:55:44.000 Yeah, was that Crowder or one of the guys?

00:55:47.000 They went around like California and they basically showed a picture of me with a literal dinosaur and a gun, posing over it like you'd maybe sit with like, you know, a deer you just shot.

00:55:56.000 and literally libs were going crazy that I helped exterminate and make extinct a dinosaur, 0.71

00:56:07.000 like an actual dinosaur that a triceratops, like it's not like you could mix it up with like,

00:56:11.000 I don't know, a rhino or something, it was a triceratops, it was very clear.

00:56:15.000 It was like they screenshot one of the things from Jurassic Park, put me in there,

00:56:19.000 and these people are going nuts.

00:56:22.000 And they didn't know that a triceratops was extinct So that was actually really funny.

00:56:32.000 Don Jr.

00:56:32.000 for VP, please don't make me do it.

00:56:38.000 Don, what do we do when the dams cheat?

00:56:40.000 The courts won't help.

00:56:40.000 I agree with you.

00:56:41.000 We gotta overwhelm it early.

00:56:43.000 We gotta sort of, again, we gotta make it too big to rig.

00:56:46.000 We gotta overcome the fraud, et cetera.

00:56:51.000 Don, does Josh Hawley have a shot at VP?

00:56:53.000 I like Josh as a friend.

00:56:54.000 I like some of the stuff he's done as it relates to tech.

00:56:58.000 I don't know that he's in the running.

00:57:01.000 Someone may have talked about it a couple of times, but that's never really been Um, you know, one of the top, uh, contenders.

00:57:08.000 So, you know, again, you know, a good guy, a young guy, probably has a great future.

00:57:14.000 You know, not, it's not really part of this VP conversation.

00:57:18.000 I don't know that it really has been, uh, too much.

00:57:20.000 Again, everyone, everyone has their comms team sort of leaked certain things like it's like it's real or whatever it may be, but I don't know that that's ever really been, uh, you know, one of the, let's call it top 10 kind of contenders.

00:57:33.000 Trump and sons, only ones DJT can trust.

00:57:36.000 Well, I appreciate that, but yeah, like I said, probably not going to happen.

00:57:39.000 We have a residency issue, uh, you know, amongst other things.

00:57:43.000 I think, you know, I think if it was me, I think it makes my father, you know, the, the Democrats would work very well to make sure he stays nice and healthy.

00:57:53.000 Uh, so I don't ever get it because they probably like me even less.

00:57:57.000 Um, Do you eat elk a lot or venison?

00:58:02.000 Yeah, I do a lot of hunting.

00:58:04.000 That's not a surprise, but a lot of times I'll hunt because I actually enjoy just hunting as well.

00:58:09.000 I'll pay to have stuff processed where it is and give it to hunters feeding the homeless and charities like that.

00:58:17.000 I'll take what me and my family can eat.

00:58:19.000 I usually probably hunt more than what we can eat because I actually just enjoy hunting and that's okay.

00:58:25.000 Uh, but everything always gets eaten and so I'll spend a lot of time, uh, actually donating to those causes and donating it to, you know, the various homeless shelters that'll take, uh, you know, processed elk or venison.

00:58:36.000 Uh, but yeah, we, I have a whole trunk freezer full of it.

00:58:38.000 We, we eat a lot of it.

00:58:38.000 Uh, I, I enjoy it a lot.

00:58:43.000 Tucker28, I think, listen, that could be great.

00:58:47.000 Tucker, another very good friend and a great fighter for the cause.

00:58:54.000 FishinginMontana for Rainbow Trout, PMB97220.

00:58:58.000 I love it.

00:59:00.000 I mean, the Big Horn River up there is one of my favorite rivers, you know, anywhere in the West.

00:59:07.000 Absolutely, absolutely love it.

00:59:11.000 Just, you know, Montana, you know, big sky country, the small rivers, the big rivers, all of it's great.

00:59:15.000 So, you know, fly fishing for trout out there.

00:59:16.000 One of my favorite things to do.

00:59:23.000 Wizard of Truth, I've asked my question five times.

00:59:25.000 We are talking about Elk.

00:59:27.000 Yeah, that's what I was talking about before, Elk. 0.99

00:59:29.000 I mean, you know, I'll group other venison in with that because I think there's, you know, most of it's, you know, relatively similar.

00:59:36.000 I think Elk's better than some and there's other, you know, access to yours probably better than Elk, etc.

00:59:39.000 But like, it's all pretty good.

00:59:47.000 Let's see.

00:59:48.000 Don, not making us pay for locals to ask questions?

00:59:50.000 Well, it's a unique week.

00:59:51.000 We had some craziness going on.

00:59:52.000 We got a convention, you know, so I wanted to make sure we get through some of this stuff, and I'll get back to locals, you know, next week, and we'll be doing a bunch of that.

01:00:02.000 Make sure all of those people, and I see some of the people and locals just, I just get familiar with the handles there because that's a much smaller group.

01:00:08.000 I probably, I think I get that pretty much everyone's question when I do, you know, 15-20 minutes, half hour there.

01:00:13.000 I think I probably get to everyone there.

01:00:14.000 So if you're on locals, you know, that's a good way to get me.

01:00:17.000 Because like I said, I literally, I'm scrolling and I guess there's hundreds of posts and, you know, just trying to scroll down and keep up.

01:00:25.000 But that's definitely a place, you know, where if you have specific questions or longer ones where it's a little bit easier to read on the fly, you know, I definitely get to.

01:00:35.000 So... Carrie would be a great VP. 1.00

01:00:38.000 Handles press amazingly.

01:00:40.000 She's a fighter, that's for sure. 0.97

01:00:44.000 Let's see.

01:00:45.000 Have I thought of running for president, Mink, in 95-37?

01:00:54.000 Not really.

01:00:55.000 I mean, you know, I guess you get involved at a certain level, and I guess maybe it comes up a bit.

01:01:03.000 I guess in last year, before, you know, sort of everyone formally announced, I know there was a lot of polling that sort of had me You know had me in the top three almost irrespective even with my father in that I was still top three In a lot of sort of the credible sort of national polls, so I guess I guess I've done okay At least certainly with the base, but it was sort of you know my father Is a clear front-runner and then sort of me and DeSantis as like the next two and sort of we flip back and forth and without my father

01:01:34.000 Uh, you know, I captured a lot of that, and, you know, I was either first or second there for quite some time, and then when everyone made it official, it started spending a lot of money, and they stopped putting me in the polling.

01:01:43.000 Many of the people didn't love that I was in the polling.

01:01:45.000 I guess I was the only person that never sort of had or never announced any sort of political aspirations, um, in there.

01:01:54.000 And, uh, you know, so that was sort of unusual.

01:01:56.000 Everyone else generally was a sitting senator or someone that had... So, you know, I did pretty well on my own, so I guess...

01:02:03.000 I'd never thought about it, but other people had thought about it for me, apparently.

01:02:07.000 So, you know, I guess I'll just take that as one of the great compliments I could imagine.

01:02:13.000 Because if, you know, great conservative patriots actually thought that, or even thought to put me in the conversation, I consider that just, you know, it's an honor and a true compliment.

01:02:22.000 So, you never know.

01:02:24.000 Maybe I have to do it, but we'll see.

01:02:27.000 Have you ever hunted Alaska?

01:02:30.000 G-C-H-Y-D-R-O. 1.00

01:02:33.000 I have.

01:02:34.000 I've hunted Alaska for sheep.

01:02:36.000 I've hunted bear up there.

01:02:38.000 I did a lot of salmon fishing all over Alaska.

01:02:41.000 Actually, in the Canada side, I've done a lot.

01:02:46.000 British Columbia, Northwest Territories.

01:02:51.000 The Yukon, I actually have a hunting operation up at the Yukon I'm a partner in, so spent even more time on sort of the Canada side, you know, hunting over there.

01:03:02.000 So I love it up there.

01:03:03.000 I mean, that's sort of my favorite place in the world.

01:03:06.000 Sheep hunting in that crazy terrain and just that great vastness, you know, that's the ultimate for me in terms of hunting because it's, you know, it's not like It's not like the Texas sort of sit over a feeder kind of thing.

01:03:18.000 You can hike for days and not even see an animal.

01:03:20.000 As wild and as vast as it is, it's just really rough terrain and rough country.

01:03:25.000 It doesn't even hold that much animals because of just how rugged it is and how rough the winters are.

01:03:32.000 But that's the ultimate because half of it, it's not just even hunting.

01:03:35.000 It's about the physical challenge.

01:03:40.000 living in that nature and just, you know, I like to get dropped off, you know, backpacking a bow or backpacking a rifle.

01:03:45.000 And it's like, I'll see you in two weeks.

01:03:46.000 And that's it's just, that's my favorite thing in the world to do.

01:03:48.000 So hey, guys, we have over 10k watching right now.

01:03:52.000 Do me a favor.

01:03:53.000 Make sure you're liking, sharing and subscribing.

01:03:56.000 There are 10k watching and not 10k likes.

01:03:59.000 Let's get those things a little bit more lined up.

01:04:01.000 That's how we beat the algorithm.

01:04:02.000 That's how we get other people seeing it.

01:04:04.000 You know, Share it with your friends because again, once this press guy never half an hour late already.

01:04:08.000 I'll just keep yakking.

01:04:09.000 I don't even care.

01:04:10.000 But I wonder if you think it's delayed because they just they can't get Joe in a state where I'm going to scroll down the bottom.

01:04:17.000 What do you guys think of this?

01:04:18.000 Do you?

01:04:21.000 Do you think they just can't get Joe quite ready to get out there for himself?

01:04:27.000 This is another one.

01:04:28.000 Have you hunted, like, have I, I guess, have you completed a grand slam of sheep?

01:04:32.000 And the answer is no.

01:04:33.000 I've got two dull, two stone.

01:04:35.000 I've got a desert.

01:04:36.000 Probably not going to get another desert again because, you know, I was able to do that in Mexico.

01:04:40.000 A little hard for me to go to Sonora with the cartels these days.

01:04:44.000 They don't exactly love us.

01:04:46.000 I was told, I guess, El Chapo had like a hundred million dollar bounty on my head and some of my family in the past.

01:04:51.000 I was invited last year and I was like, literally like, I'm gonna go.

01:04:54.000 I'm just gonna fly in.

01:04:55.000 A buddy was like, hey, we're gonna fly in private from Texas so we can keep it subtle.

01:04:59.000 And then I told another friend, they're like, yeah dude, like everyone, like everyone's basically paid by the cartels.

01:05:04.000 Like, you would be like the world record sheep equivalent for those guys. 0.98

01:05:09.000 Uh, and so...

01:05:11.000 I'm probably stuck there because it's really going to be hard to draw a desert in any of the southern states where you have it.

01:05:15.000 So the one I am missing is the Rocky Mountain.

01:05:18.000 So if you guys have someone that wants to figure out how I can actually draw a Rocky Mountain tag, you let me know.

01:05:24.000 Because that's what I need.

01:05:26.000 Because that's sort of one of the ultimate sort of, for me, just because You know, I'm sort of a sheep hunter by heart.

01:05:31.000 And that's that that mountain kind of hunting that rough, really hard terrain stuff is my thing.

01:05:37.000 You guys let me know.

01:05:37.000 So I'm one short of that slam.

01:05:39.000 And if I if I pulled that off, and you know, I could I could get to a couple slams pretty quickly because of the because of that. 0.66

01:05:46.000 Don't you can your dad carry his own golf bag? He can. He certainly can. You saw the other night,

01:05:54.000 this was a funny clip from the rally down in Miami. My father challenged Joe Biden to take

01:05:59.000 him up on that round of golf. And he said for he would if Joe Biden beats him, he

01:06:05.000 He will donate $1 million to the charity of Joe Biden's choice.

01:06:09.000 And he would give him 10 strokes aside.

01:06:12.000 10 strokes aside.

01:06:14.000 So 20 strokes total.

01:06:16.000 More than a stroke a hole.

01:06:19.000 And Joe Biden still hasn't commented or responded.

01:06:24.000 So it's apparently Apparently, Joe does not think he can pull that one off.

01:06:30.000 Like, I don't even play golf, honestly.

01:06:31.000 Like, I would probably take that bet, because 20 strokes?

01:06:34.000 I mean, that's a lot of strokes.

01:06:36.000 That's a lot of strokes.

01:06:38.000 Don Junior, no such thing as too big to rig.

01:06:40.000 Stop kidding yourself.

01:06:41.000 Oh, I'm not kidding myself.

01:06:42.000 Like I said, I'd still say, you know, I'd still say, even with all of this stuff, because of that, it's 50-50, but that's why we have to get in the game.

01:06:51.000 That's why we have to be involved.

01:06:52.000 We can't just say, oh, yeah, the poll says we're winning.

01:06:54.000 No, no, no.

01:06:56.000 Every single one we got to do.

01:06:59.000 Where's the best snorkeling in Florida?

01:07:02.000 Honestly, I don't do a lot of snorkeling.

01:07:03.000 I've done some free diving, used to do a lot of scuba diving, but deeper stuff.

01:07:07.000 So where I live is actually a great reef, you know, that whole area around.

01:07:11.000 I'm in Jupiter, but a little south of us in Palm Beach, some of the best sort of like natural reef structure in sort of the lower 48 before you get to the island.

01:07:20.000 So there's actually some really good scuba diving around here.

01:07:23.000 You know, my kids are certified to do a lot of that.

01:07:26.000 Not as much great sort of shallow stuff around here.

01:07:29.000 That's probably, you know, that's a lot better in the Bahamas.

01:07:32.000 There's some stuff probably in the Keys.

01:07:33.000 I just don't know it all that well.

01:07:36.000 Let's see...

01:07:40.000 How awesome is Alina Haba in real life? 0.55

01:07:42.000 Alina's great.

01:07:43.000 She's become a good friend.

01:07:45.000 Funny, witty.

01:07:48.000 Alina's great.

01:07:48.000 I was with her the other night down at the Rally in Miami and the whole team, so she's been good.

01:07:54.000 Oh, I got all sorts of crap. 0.97

01:07:56.000 I guess she cut her foot on some glass. 0.99

01:08:00.000 Alina, she cut her foot on some glass. 1.00

01:08:03.000 Hey, everything's gram-worthy these days, so it ended up on Instagram, and I, you know, I commented.

01:08:07.000 I was like, hey, these screenshots are going big on, like, you know, some, you know, adult foot fetish websites or whatever it is, and then everyone's like, ah, you're flirting!

01:08:17.000 I'm like, I don't know, man. 0.87

01:08:18.000 I think I'm pretty clear that I'm just breaking balls, but, uh, you know, what?

01:08:21.000 What can you do?

01:08:22.000 So the liberals were saying that I was like, you know, inappropriate with this.

01:08:26.000 It's like, I don't know guys, I literally put it on Instagram in like the private comments.

01:08:29.000 It's not like this is a screenshot of like a DM or some nonsense.

01:08:32.000 Like, give me a break.

01:08:34.000 But uh, but we had a laugh about that one.

01:08:37.000 So let's see.

01:08:39.000 Have you eaten bear?

01:08:41.000 Yes.

01:08:42.000 Yeah, bear can actually be good.

01:08:43.000 Like, you know, you gotta You gotta take a little bit more time in preparation, almost like pork.

01:08:48.000 Like, you don't want to eat, like, you know, medium-rare bear.

01:08:52.000 That's not good.

01:08:52.000 They carry, like, they'll carry trichinosis and some of the other things that you can get from, like, pork, basically.

01:08:57.000 It's almost like in the same family.

01:08:59.000 But bear meat itself is actually, you know, better than most.

01:09:04.000 There's a lot of people that, you know, don't really like it.

01:09:08.000 And there's, frankly, places where there's just a lot of them.

01:09:12.000 But no, I actually do like bear meat.

01:09:14.000 Have you ever hunted or fished in Idaho?

01:09:17.000 You would love it.

01:09:17.000 I have.

01:09:18.000 I've fished, I guess, the Salmon River in Idaho in the past, a long time ago.

01:09:23.000 I hunted elk there two years ago.

01:09:27.000 So, yeah, no, I've had some great times in Idaho.

01:09:33.000 When I graduated college, I literally got in my car like a week after graduation, drove out west, moved to Colorado.

01:09:39.000 I worked in a bar for a year.

01:09:41.000 That was an amazing conversation with my father.

01:09:42.000 You can imagine how that went over.

01:09:45.000 But like, I literally, you know, I hunted and fished every day.

01:09:48.000 I worked at night so I could do that, you know.

01:09:51.000 Took a month off.

01:09:51.000 I'd go to Africa and just literally, you know, with like some buddies that were South African that, you know, live there and, uh, you know, lived out of the back of a truck for six weeks, like in the African back country, did that a couple of times.

01:10:02.000 Like, so yeah, no, I, I really like, uh, all of that, uh, outdoor stuff.

01:10:07.000 I just, I was more familiar with Colorado.

01:10:08.000 I went there a lot growing up, but like Idaho, all those places, you know, Idaho, Montana, probably better, especially because of the political views that didn't matter as much 20 years ago.

01:10:18.000 Although it was interesting.

01:10:18.000 Um, You know, I was out in Colorado with my daughter.

01:10:23.000 We do, like, a daddy-daughter ski trip every year, and this was out back, I guess, it was in March, and, like, I was in Aspen, like, a ski town, because we're going on a ski trip, so it was a little different, and, you know, bringing your daughter, and, you know, nice food.

01:10:34.000 We're not gonna sleep in the back of a truck or anything like that.

01:10:36.000 We're gonna try to do it nice for her, and, uh, I was amazed, like, even the place, like, super liberal Aspen, uh, the amount of people, like, screaming, like, across, like, Maga, you gotta win this thing!

01:10:48.000 It was, uh, It was a pretty amazing in a town that I was like that I thought when like full libtard It was sort of telling us it was one of those places like you go. 1.00

01:11:00.000 It's almost like you know in New York City like if you go If you go into those places, you realize, wait a minute, it's not as bad as I thought.

01:11:09.000 All of the restaurant owners and the waiters and the staff that understand what it's like to work for a living, just super supportive.

01:11:16.000 I was like, I'm not sure I'll be able to get a dinner reservation or not even a little bit.

01:11:21.000 It was sort of amazing.

01:11:22.000 To me, it was a great talisman of what was going on perhaps around the rest of the country.

01:11:27.000 So guys, it's 7.05.

01:11:28.000 We've been going for an hour.

01:11:30.000 Still no Biden.

01:11:33.000 Hit, let's do another poll, yeah.

01:11:34.000 Hit one, hit one if you think he even shows up, or two if you think he's a no-show and they call it.

01:11:43.000 I'm actually curious, do you think he just doesn't show?

01:11:46.000 Hit one if you think he shows up, two if you think he's a no-show, and just, you know, sort of de facto quits, quits on us.

01:11:56.000 Two, two, oh, a lot of twos.

01:12:00.000 A lot of seven.

01:12:01.000 He made a two in his pants.

01:12:04.000 Listen, I mean, I'd say that's as likely as anything.

01:12:08.000 I would not. 0.81

01:12:09.000 We discussed, you know, Whoopi Goldberg's like, hey, she's okay with a president who craps his pants. 0.91

01:12:14.000 You know, that was last week.

01:12:15.000 Or I guess, no, I guess we discussed that on Monday.

01:12:17.000 A lot going on, right?

01:12:18.000 Conventions next week.

01:12:20.000 Been trying to figure out speeches.

01:12:23.000 A lot of twos.

01:12:23.000 So, wow, no one thinks he's a show.

01:12:25.000 That's interesting.

01:12:30.000 Glaro Q84.

01:12:31.000 Aspen! 0.79

01:12:32.000 Like, I'm talking about a little place called Aspen. 0.99

01:12:33.000 Like, the Dumb and Dumber thing. 0.96

01:12:34.000 Yeah, there.

01:12:35.000 But that is where I went out after, you know, worked in a bar there for a year and a half right out of college and just, great experience.

01:12:47.000 Talk about triggering the left-tards. 1.00

01:12:48.000 Make Don Jr.

01:12:49.000 his dad's VP pick.

01:12:50.000 That would be a triggering event, that's for sure.

01:12:54.000 The meds are not working for Beijing Biden.

01:12:57.000 The Truth Seeker USA, that couldn't be true.

01:13:00.000 I mean, what time is it supposed to be?

01:13:02.000 It was supposed to be at 630.

01:13:04.000 So you're 40 minutes late.

01:13:06.000 I mean, that's pretty late.

01:13:09.000 And like, that's the thing with Joe Biden, like every minute that's later is like, That's like exponential.

01:13:17.000 You know, we're now way past bedtime, right?

01:13:20.000 We're over three hours past when his own staff said he's able to function reasonably well.

01:13:26.000 You saw that one last week, you know, between the hours of 10 and 4.

01:13:29.000 I just truly hope our enemies weren't watching that so they don't decide to, like, hit us during happy hour at 5 because, you know, Joe Biden will be out.

01:13:37.000 I mean, Isn't it past his bedtime?

01:13:41.000 It feels like it.

01:13:42.000 It feels like it.

01:13:43.000 But, you know, hey, this is the big boy presser, so he may he may drag this in.

01:13:47.000 Maybe we go to eight.

01:13:53.000 Nice place for a rally, Aspen.

01:13:55.000 I don't know about a rally, but it's interesting.

01:13:57.000 I know a lot of people there, and a lot of that was always Democrat money.

01:14:00.000 It's obviously a super wealthy town, whatever it may be, but those guys are coming around.

01:14:07.000 Don Jr., you're a great man.

01:14:08.000 Good father.

01:14:09.000 You're their kids.

01:14:09.000 Well, I try.

01:14:11.000 I try.

01:14:15.000 Deanna H6651, I'm loving the regular Don at bar conversation.

01:14:21.000 That's interesting.

01:14:23.000 Well, listen, if you guys give me those questions, I don't care.

01:14:25.000 We don't have to talk about politics.

01:14:26.000 If you guys are interested, I'll talk about it all.

01:14:29.000 You know, now I'm just killing time.

01:14:33.000 If it wasn't for the fact that we're waiting for this, I'd say, hey, we can go.

01:14:36.000 I wouldn't mind having dinner.

01:14:37.000 I haven't even eaten yet today.

01:14:38.000 I've been too busy.

01:14:41.000 So, let's see.

01:14:46.000 Okay.

01:14:47.000 Nerf Hatchet pulled him out. 0.90

01:14:50.000 Yeah, that's like, yeah, there's Ratchet, but that's Jill Biden right now, and Hunter's running the show, so that's an interesting... Is he late because they're changing his depends?

01:15:01.000 Quite possibly.

01:15:02.000 Quite possibly.

01:15:03.000 What are we pulling up now?

01:15:08.000 Oh, you put...

01:15:13.000 All right, think about this.

01:15:15.000 Now we're gonna start a conspiracy theory, folks.

01:15:18.000 Joe Biden's own campaign account put out the thing where he called Zelensky Putin.

01:15:24.000 Like, are they self-sabotaging it?

01:15:26.000 Like, has his campaign even had enough?

01:15:28.000 Is the campaign saying, hey, we're throwing in the towel, we're gonna throw Joe under the bus, and that's amazing.

01:15:35.000 You guys, okay, you can see it.

01:15:37.000 Wow, I mean, the Biden-Harris, HQ, it should be low IQ, but President Biden, ladies and gentlemen, he's going to beat Putin.

01:15:49.000 Zelensky, I'm better, but they put out the clip.

01:15:52.000 I can't believe it.

01:15:53.000 They're throwing him under the bus, his own campaign.

01:15:55.000 Listen, you know the guy's not doing, like with Trump.

01:15:59.000 You can tell when it's his own truth.

01:16:01.000 You know what I mean?

01:16:01.000 It's like, ah, that's him, because he probably couldn't pay anyone else to put some of that content out.

01:16:08.000 In this case, wow.

01:16:13.000 They're trying to self-sabotage it.

01:16:14.000 That's amazing.

01:16:17.000 Wow.

01:16:18.000 Huh.

01:16:20.000 Let's see.

01:16:20.000 Well, listen, you're right.

01:16:21.000 It's close to his bedtime with every passing minute.

01:16:24.000 Had to get the Parkinson's doctor over for a last-minute cognitive test.

01:16:28.000 No, they're not gonna do the cognitive test because his doctor is actually, as we discussed on Monday, his doctor is actually a business partner with the Bidens.

01:16:38.000 Now, the Bidens have no actual businesses that aren't tied to, you know, selling access to Joe and to government.

01:16:48.000 Like, it's all influence peddling, right?

01:16:50.000 So, you think the doctor's gonna say, this guy can't Isn't fit?

01:16:54.000 No.

01:16:54.000 Like his entire, that entire partnership is dependent on Joe Biden sitting there.

01:16:59.000 Whether he's actually with it or not doesn't matter.

01:17:03.000 As long as they can sell it, you know, they have a business.

01:17:06.000 The second that's no longer saleable, they got no business.

01:17:08.000 And so, um, it's pretty bad.

01:17:12.000 R. Cody, Tennessee loves you, Don Jr.

01:17:14.000 Thank you.

01:17:16.000 Saintfan20, he went to the wrong venue.

01:17:19.000 By the way, that's probably true.

01:17:23.000 Let's see.

01:17:24.000 A lot of Tulsi for VP here.

01:17:26.000 I don't know if that's the same person over and over, but I keep seeing it.

01:17:31.000 Yeah, oh, Willie.

01:17:31.000 Yeah, it's okay.

01:17:32.000 It's the, well, it's definitely a little bit of spammy, but no, there's others that have it too, so.

01:17:39.000 That's interesting.

01:17:40.000 Ginger277, thanks for the live show, Don.

01:17:43.000 It's my pleasure, guys.

01:17:45.000 Honestly, sometimes this is actually easier than doing a regular show and sort of prepping and clipping clips and like, actually, like, this is easy.

01:17:52.000 I'm bullshitting.

01:17:52.000 I just, I talk, right?

01:17:53.000 It's a, it's a, if that gets hard, we got, we got bigger problems.

01:17:59.000 Uh, I ain't Joe Biden.

01:18:01.000 Uh, now one day I may be, but if one day I get to that point, I also won't try to run the countries.

01:18:08.000 Um.

01:18:11.000 Something about Aspen has lefties there.

01:18:13.000 There's a lot of lefties in Aspen, but that was my point.

01:18:15.000 Like, I was there on vacation.

01:18:16.000 I went, I was out there very publicly.

01:18:17.000 I took my daughter shopping a bunch, like for, you know, stuff for her.

01:18:21.000 And then, you know, sometimes my daughter actually spent a lot of time shopping for me with my money because she's in high school.

01:18:30.000 But like, she was like, basically, Dad, you dress like a 46-year-old frat boy.

01:18:36.000 Like, you know, I still have my...

01:18:38.000 T-shirts from college and stuff.

01:18:40.000 So she's like, we got to change some of this.

01:18:41.000 I can, you know, I can sort of wear a suit or I can go super casual, but there was nothing in between.

01:18:45.000 So we, she was doing this.

01:18:47.000 So I was going in, you know, these stores that was probably not.

01:18:50.000 And again, I was amazed at sort of, uh, I was amazed at, uh, what was going on.

01:18:56.000 What was sort of funny was though, the second she did actually dress me and I wasn't wearing like my normal, like jeans and a flannel shirt.

01:19:02.000 And I was dressed again, not, not even fancy, but like, uh, Yeah, a lot of the, the, let's call it the, you know, my age women around Aspen started literally just flagrantly hitting on me in front of my daughter.

01:19:16.000 She was laughing her butt off about that. 0.96

01:19:18.000 She's like, see what I mean?

01:19:18.000 I was like, not that I need this.

01:19:19.000 I, this is not, I don't need that headache.

01:19:21.000 But, but it was sort of funny that the second I dressed perhaps a little bit more appropriately or dressed the way A woman would want me to dress as opposed to the way I usually dress. 0.63

01:19:34.000 It was like a switch turn.

01:19:36.000 So Kim will kill me later on for saying that. 0.95

01:19:39.000 But it's okay.

01:19:40.000 It's a true story and it was kind of funny and I'm pretty sure I told her that but my daughter had a lot of laughs about that one because it was candidly pretty darn funny.

01:19:50.000 Um, it was really, like, embarrassing.

01:19:52.000 I'm sitting there, like, walking around with my daughter and, like, just getting, like, stopped and, like, hit on.

01:19:57.000 It was pretty funny.

01:19:58.000 So she's like, see, I told you.

01:19:59.000 I was like, I need this, like, a hole in my head.

01:20:01.000 But, uh, let's see.

01:20:05.000 Duh-duh-duh-duh-duh, Don Jr., you're a good man.

01:20:08.000 At least sometimes.

01:20:09.000 Most of the left would not agree with me.

01:20:12.000 Or with you on that one, but that's okay.

01:20:14.000 I don't have to.

01:20:16.000 They still think Hunter Biden is a good man, and they think Joe Biden is a good man, and

01:20:20.000 neither of those things are true.

01:20:21.000 Again, just because Joe is old and infirm doesn't make him a good man. 0.99

01:20:25.000 He's been a piece of garbage for quite a long time. 0.99

01:20:27.000 Just look at most of what he's said throughout his career. 1.00

01:20:31.000 Other than that Anthony Aaron Don Jr. frat boy, lol.

01:20:35.000 Listen, there was a time.

01:20:37.000 There was a time.

01:20:38.000 And it's interesting watching some of the frat boys come out and save our country and protect our flag.

01:20:44.000 You know, it could be a frat boy summer.

01:20:45.000 So, you know what?

01:20:46.000 Hey, I didn't have them saving the republic, but, you know, I don't know.

01:20:53.000 They seem to get it better than most.

01:20:54.000 So I'm happy to, I guess I was one at one point in time.

01:20:59.000 And if I am still a little bit, I'm okay with that.

01:21:03.000 Happy to embrace most of it. 0.87

01:21:05.000 Though I'm not going through hazing anymore because I figure my whole life is getting hazed right now by these sociopaths on the left.

01:21:13.000 So, we shall see.

01:21:17.000 Would you run for president in 28 again?

01:21:19.000 I answered that earlier, so you guys can check on my response to that so I don't repeat myself to those who were paying attention or who have been tuned in for an hour and 15 minutes now.

01:21:30.000 Are we getting any news or anything even on Twitter?

01:21:32.000 7.30?

01:21:34.000 Jesus.

01:21:36.000 Okay.

01:21:38.000 Do you guys want me to stay on for that long and comment for another... Okay.

01:21:46.000 Do you want me to stay on and forego dinner? 0.96

01:21:49.000 It's not that my fat ass couldn't lose a couple of pounds, so I don't necessarily know if I mind missing dinner, but he's gonna be an hour late. 0.90

01:21:56.000 They're now saying 7.30. 0.98

01:21:58.000 You want me to stay on and give the live commentary?

01:22:03.000 And we listen in?

01:22:04.000 I guess I gotta watch it anyway, right?

01:22:06.000 So that's 15 minutes from now.

01:22:08.000 I gotta watch it anyway.

01:22:11.000 Snack, yeah.

01:22:12.000 Would you appreciate if I just had my dinner right here with you?

01:22:15.000 You guys can comment on my manners and my etiquette.

01:22:20.000 I know that someone would certainly criticize something I do on here as it relates to that, but no, go eat.

01:22:30.000 Eat dinner on camera.

01:22:33.000 Stay, stay, yes, stay, eat dinner.

01:22:37.000 He ain't coming.

01:22:39.000 Yeah, DoorDash.

01:22:43.000 Get Kimberly to come on. 1.00

01:22:45.000 Could do that.

01:22:48.000 Stay on and eat dinner.

01:22:50.000 Go eat some and come back.

01:22:51.000 Yeah, but I can't, like, how many people we have?

01:22:53.000 We still have 10,000 on?

01:22:53.000 So we got 10,000 people on it.

01:22:57.000 11,000 now, so maybe it's even building.

01:22:59.000 That's interesting.

01:23:00.000 Hey, okay, so that's a question.

01:23:01.000 It's interesting, when I stay on long, and it's sort of unusual, I was actually talking to the guys at Rumble, they were like, you're one of the few guys that sort of, you know, most people get a thing and then you lose people.

01:23:10.000 I tend to build as I go later.

01:23:12.000 Is that simply a, is six o'clock Eastern, is that just too early a start time?

01:23:18.000 Or my team's like, oh great, we gotta stay later.

01:23:21.000 But now, okay, this is a good one.

01:23:24.000 Is 6 p.m., is it too early to start?

01:23:29.000 Would you rather start at 7 or 8 and just go longer and later?

01:23:33.000 Does it pick up maybe West Coast better or something like that?

01:23:36.000 What do you guys think?

01:23:39.000 For West Coast, it's too early.

01:23:40.000 I don't know, I get this a lot.

01:23:43.000 I don't know.

01:23:45.000 You know, my thing is this.

01:23:46.000 It's hard.

01:23:46.000 You gotta remember, like, this isn't necessarily my day job.

01:23:50.000 Like, I love doing it.

01:23:51.000 I love talking.

01:23:51.000 I love, you know, but like, you know, there's days where I could start at, like, 6 a.m., whether it's doing TV or whatever it may be or international calls or whatever it is, and it's like, you get to, like, 8, 9 p.m., and it's like, I'm not Joe Biden, I'm confident, I'm clear, but like, you don't necessarily have the energy to, you know, after, let's call it a 12 hour day, to then get on and entertain for two hours.

01:24:24.000 So, yeah, that's interesting.

01:24:27.000 I didn't know the time, you like six, six is good.

01:24:31.000 Great time for Australia.

01:24:32.000 Australia, I love you.

01:24:33.000 There's some great praises for Australia.

01:24:35.000 I am not gonna, yeah.

01:24:37.000 I'm not doing reverse schedules for Australia.

01:24:41.000 That ain't happening.

01:24:42.000 But I do love you guys and appreciate it.

01:24:44.000 There's a lot of you guys that actually chime in on here, so it's good.

01:24:46.000 I think you guys understand the threat of what's going on right now.

01:24:51.000 Elijah Fair, LOL Lightweight.

01:24:53.000 Yeah.

01:24:54.000 It's hard after 14 hours to be really super enthusiastic about doing two more hours of TV and being not Joe Biden.

01:25:02.000 I don't know.

01:25:03.000 I'm not buying that.

01:25:05.000 But Leslie P, 7.30 or 8.

01:25:08.000 Should I stay or should I go now?

01:25:12.000 It's a song lyric, but no, I'll stay on.

01:25:14.000 I'll stay on.

01:25:15.000 If you guys want the commentary, it seems like you want it.

01:25:21.000 I gotta listen to it too, because I'm curious.

01:25:23.000 I can incorporate some material into my speech next weekend.

01:25:28.000 So next week I'm speaking I think like 9 o'clock Central Time though, right?

01:25:33.000 So is that 10 o'clock East Coast?

01:25:36.000 9 o'clock Central Time.

01:25:37.000 See, that's gonna be one of those where I'm gonna get up at 6 a.m.

01:25:39.000 I'm gonna be doing press and I gotta speak to like, you know, millions of people watching on TV live and bang out like a more serious speech.

01:25:46.000 So that's when it can be one of those days.

01:25:48.000 So you guys can tell me if I fail miserably or not.

01:25:51.000 But like, you know, to do that a couple times a week can be rough.

01:25:56.000 Let's see.

01:25:59.000 Your show is the same time as War Room?

01:26:02.000 No, it's not.

01:26:02.000 War Room's early in the day.

01:26:03.000 What are you talking about?

01:26:05.000 I think they just play it over, but I think I'm supposed to host War Room one day next week, by the way.

01:26:12.000 Obviously, they put Steve Bannon in prison for four months because they're sociopaths that will jail their political opponents, but we'll see.

01:26:27.000 Someone... I don't know, this guy's an idiot, but apparently I'm not America first according to Ejack H. Truly, that would be a first. 0.99

01:26:38.000 That would be a first that I've heard that. 1.00

01:26:40.000 That's kind of amazing.

01:26:42.000 Let's see.

01:26:44.000 Favorite band of all time.

01:26:46.000 Ooh! 0.96

01:26:47.000 Ooh! 0.96

01:26:49.000 Wow.

01:26:50.000 So, it's interesting.

01:26:54.000 I sort of have a really, really eclectic sort of music taste, a little bit of everything, probably diverge more towards classic rock, although these days it's probably more alt rock, which is basically like 90s alt rock is like becoming classic rock.

01:27:05.000 And there's some guys sort of starting new stuff with that.

01:27:08.000 I'd probably say favorite of all time is probably, you know, honestly, it's probably Pink Floyd.

01:27:14.000 And I have a funny story about that one.

01:27:16.000 So my brother and I share almost like identical music tastes, Eric.

01:27:21.000 I guess Pink Floyd was doing this like tour or whatever and I'd seen him a bunch of times or whatever, but he goes like a couple years ago, I think when my father was president, he goes to the concert and he tweets about it and he's like, I have Pink Floyd and I guess one of the band members, not like a real like original band member, but like one of the guys they got to fill in for something or whatever it is.

01:27:38.000 So like, you know, kind of fake Pink Floyd band member, I guess saw it and replied back like, wish you weren't here.

01:27:46.000 To my brother Eric, and I was like, you know what?

01:27:48.000 That's pretty funny.

01:27:48.000 The left is not usually very funny.

01:27:51.000 That was pretty funny.

01:27:53.000 So I try not to get too involved in a lot of like, you know, the bands or whatever that I loved, you know, into their politics because, you know, you just don't want that getting in the way of like, I can still appreciate good music, but...

01:28:08.000 I don't know.

01:28:09.000 That was kind of funny. 0.98

01:28:10.000 Clearly, you know, a bunch of lesbians. 1.00

01:28:12.000 Roger Waters is out of his mind. 1.00

01:28:14.000 Like, you know, seems like anti-Semite.

01:28:17.000 So I don't appreciate his political views at all.

01:28:20.000 I think he's probably bordering on sociopathic, but he's a talented musician.

01:28:25.000 And so that's still, it's up there, but you know, there, there's so many that I like, but again, with, with eclectic taste, but you know, that, that of all time, that could be it.

01:28:35.000 Um, so we'll see.

01:28:36.000 Let's see.

01:28:38.000 Pardon Steve Bannon Snowden, day one of Orange Man's second term.

01:28:43.000 I agree with that.

01:28:44.000 Man, I think you guys are going strong.

01:28:47.000 Let's see.

01:28:49.000 When is the golf match between Biden and your dad?

01:28:51.000 Listen, my dad just offered him a million dollars to the charity of his choice.

01:28:54.000 He doesn't have to pay a million dollars to anything.

01:28:56.000 He's only paying himself and his family.

01:28:58.000 We understand that.

01:29:03.000 With 20 strokes.

01:29:04.000 I mean, that's a big deal.

01:29:06.000 20 strokes.

01:29:07.000 Right?

01:29:07.000 Golf's an 18-hole game.

01:29:09.000 You give someone 20 strokes, they should take it.

01:29:11.000 If Joe Biden's a 6, and he's getting 20 strokes, and even if you assume my father at 76 is a scratch, that means you're giving him 14 strokes on what would otherwise be a net game?

01:29:24.000 Like, take it!

01:29:26.000 Dave Portnoy, I think, did a good one on that one.

01:29:28.000 Be like, you gotta take it!

01:29:29.000 You gotta do it!

01:29:30.000 You gotta call him out.

01:29:32.000 I think you could give Joe Biden 40 strokes and he ain't taking it.

01:29:37.000 Because, let's just say, Joe Biden ain't getting it in.

01:29:42.000 Average course, what?

01:29:42.000 Par 72, 40 strokes on top of that, 112, zero chance Joe pulls that off.

01:29:49.000 Zero chance Joe pulls that off.

01:29:51.000 So, I don't think it's ever gonna happen, unfortunately. 1.00

01:29:57.000 Yeah, JoeThePlumber81, Roger Waters is a talented musician, but an idiot. 0.99

01:30:01.000 I think that's fair. 0.99

01:30:03.000 Again, it's sort of like George Clooney.

01:30:04.000 George Clooney, I can say he's a talented actor, I guess.

01:30:06.000 I don't remember.

01:30:07.000 He's had a couple good movies, I guess.

01:30:09.000 Beyond sort of just the Hollywood-y stuff, but like, this guy's just a liberal activist.

01:30:13.000 Dude, this is a shilling of this. 0.94

01:30:14.000 He raised $30 million for Joe Biden, a fundraiser, a couple weeks ago, and yesterday he comes out.

01:30:18.000 It's time to change!

01:30:18.000 I'm like, really?

01:30:19.000 What? 1.00

01:30:19.000 Like, you didn't realize he was an idiot last week? 1.00

01:30:21.000 When you... 1.00

01:30:22.000 When you did these things?

01:30:24.000 So, who knows?

01:30:26.000 Big Mike or Michelle, you know?

01:30:29.000 Many have said, this is not me because I would never say something like this, but many have said they are one and the same, but I would never say something like that because it's totally, it's totally inappropriate.

01:30:38.000 $1,000,000 to Hunter's charity, yeah, exactly.

01:30:41.000 I bet you I could get my dad to be like, if Joe Biden says yes, 20 strokes, 10 a side, $1,000,000 just to Hunter Biden, because that's what the Biden family does, I can make that happen if Joe says yes.

01:30:55.000 Just let me know.

01:30:58.000 Clooney equals looney.

01:31:00.000 He does.

01:31:01.000 But that's all of Hollywood. 0.98

01:31:03.000 You know, whether it's a pedo ring or otherwise, like it's all, these people are insane and they just don't live in the real world, they don't understand it. 0.60

01:31:09.000 And I get where I come from guys, so I'm not pretending that I haven't been anything but blessed, but man, they don't understand it even a little bit, you know?

01:31:17.000 These guys, you know, they see themselves and they think they're brilliant and they're this and they give themselves awards and they keep feeding that ego that it's just, it's pretty sad.

01:31:25.000 A wise man once said, sad.

01:31:29.000 De Niro was a good actor once yeah, he was a great actor once like I and by the way

01:31:33.000 That's the thing when he does all this things like hey did the Trumps were like just so we're clear like I said

01:31:37.000 There's a couple weeks ago like Robert De Niro's son literally introduced me to my wife like the mother of my

01:31:42.000 five children like It's not like we didn't know each other like it's so it's

01:31:47.000 it's sort of funny But you know hey if you're a liberal and they put you on TV

01:31:52.000 I guess you disavow and pretend that none of these things happen. That's okay

01:31:55.000 That's honestly that was the nice thing about politics people like isn't that terrible. I know it's cathartic

01:32:00.000 It's so nice like you know if you have people that are like fake friends, or they could

01:32:05.000 Like I've ever been quiet about like what I believe in and all these things like everyone knows and everyone knew

01:32:11.000 But like it when those people are like they disavow it It's nice.

01:32:14.000 You said you start with a clean slate You know you get rid of all the nonsense and it's like that's that lunch that you don't have to have a Couple times a year or you know once a year with the friend that you don't really care about it It's you know it's like Facebook, right?

01:32:28.000 It's like Great for keeping in touch with people you don't really want to keep in touch with.

01:32:32.000 Otherwise, there's better ways.

01:32:35.000 So, you know, we'll see.

01:32:38.000 Teleprompters on stage.

01:32:40.000 Why?

01:32:40.000 Well, Joe Biden's going to need a teleprompter, right?

01:32:43.000 No one's pretending he's not going to do it with a teleprompter, but we're going to get started.

01:32:49.000 Okay.

01:32:50.000 Hey, let's go over there.

01:32:51.000 I'll keep yakking along the way.

01:32:54.000 They're going to roll out Joe.

01:32:57.000 This could be interesting.

01:33:00.000 You are appreciated, Zahara228.

01:33:03.000 Thank you, Zav.

01:33:05.000 Wow, some of you guys' handles are hard to read, man, when it's like, it's weird.

01:33:10.000 Guy.

01:33:11.000 It was a great success.

01:33:12.000 It's a special momentous because it represented the 75th year of the most important military defense alliance in the history of the world.

01:33:22.000 We should never forget that NATO grew out of the wreckage of World War II, the most destructive war in history.

01:33:29.000 The idea was to create an alliance of free and democratic nations that would commit themselves to a compact of collective defense.

01:33:38.000 One, if Joe Biden reads end of quote or pause for applause.

01:33:43.000 Two, if he gets through it.

01:33:45.000 And it's worked.

01:33:49.000 Because a would-be aggressor knows if they attack one of us, they'll be attacked by all of us.

01:33:56.000 Sending that message is the best way to deter aggression and prevent wars in the first place.

01:34:03.000 For those who thought NATO's time had passed, they got a rude awakening when Putin invaded Ukraine.

01:34:10.000 Some of the oldest and deepest fears in Europe roared back to life. 0.97

01:34:15.000 Because once again, a murderous madman was on the march.

01:34:21.000 We'll give him time. 0.89

01:34:22.000 No one cowered in appeasement, especially the United States.

01:34:27.000 We collected intelligence that Russia was planning to invade Ukraine months before the

01:34:32.000 invasion.

01:34:33.000 I directed the intelligence community to be declassified so I could start building an

01:34:41.000 international coalition of police.

01:34:42.000 I warned the world that the invasion was imminent.

01:34:43.000 reading prepared remarks so maybe that's the best we're gonna get. Hopefully he'll

01:34:45.000 ask them. I warned the world that the invasion was imminent.

01:34:49.000 Someone may have been right. This could rally the coalition of 15 nations

01:34:53.000 from Europe to Asia to help Ukraine defend itself. My foreign policy, many foreign

01:34:58.000 policy experts thought as Putin amassed Russian forces just 100 miles north of Kiev.

01:35:04.000 Do you think they have pre-rigged questions and maybe the teleprompter so they can put the answers into the teleprompter for those questions?

01:35:11.000 And that's why they're doing the kind of intro because otherwise you wouldn't have this in a press conference necessarily.

01:35:15.000 With Ukrainian people backed by a coalition to help build, stop them. 1.00

01:35:20.000 Today, Kyiv still stands.

01:35:24.000 And NATO stands stronger than it has ever been.

01:35:28.000 During the week of this summit, several heads of state made it a point in their statements to thank the United States, and to thank me personally, for all that NATO has achieved.

01:35:40.000 NATO is not only stronger, NATO is bigger, because we led the charge to bring in Finland and Sweden into the alliance.

01:35:49.000 And it makes a gigantic difference.

01:35:51.000 Excuse me.

01:35:52.000 Meanwhile, my predecessor has made it clear he has no commitment to NATO.

01:35:59.000 He's made it clear that he would feel no obligation to honor Article 5.

01:36:05.000 He's already told Putin, and I quote, do whatever the hell you want.

01:36:10.000 In fact, the day after Putin invaded Ukraine, here's what he said.

01:36:13.000 It was genius.

01:36:16.000 It was wonderful.

01:36:18.000 Somebody forgot that, but that's exactly what he said.

01:36:20.000 Don't forget, Joe Biden and his people gave Vladimir Putin every excuse he needed to invade Ukraine by offering to bring him into NATO and all of these nonsense.

01:36:29.000 That was always the red line, but no one's going to ask that question tonight.

01:36:32.000 I remind all Americans, Article 5 has been revoked only once in NATO's long history, and that was to defend America after 9-11.

01:36:42.000 I made it clear that I will not bow down to Putin.

01:36:47.000 I will not walk away from Ukraine. 0.97

01:36:50.000 I will keep NATO strong.

01:36:52.000 That's exactly what we did, and exactly what we'll continue to do.

01:36:57.000 Now, the future of American policy is up to the American people.

01:37:02.000 This is much more than a political question.

01:37:04.000 It's more than that.

01:37:06.000 It's a national security issue.

01:37:09.000 Don't redo this to the usual testament.

01:37:12.000 That people talk about the issues of being a political campaign.

01:37:16.000 It's far too important.

01:37:18.000 It's about the world we live in for decades to come.

01:37:23.000 Every American must ask herself or himself.

01:37:27.000 This is a very, very canned neocon speech right now.

01:37:31.000 Is your family safer?

01:37:34.000 I believe the American people know The answer to all those questions is yes.

01:37:38.000 Your family is not safer, Joe.

01:37:40.000 No one can believe, like, crime statistics are up through the roof, except the FBI doesn't report on that anymore.

01:37:46.000 The illegals are murdering people on a daily basis. 1.00

01:37:51.000 Wars are breaking out all over the world.

01:37:52.000 Literally, no one can believe you're safer.

01:37:54.000 Give me a break.

01:37:55.000 We cannot retreat from the world.

01:37:58.000 We must lead the world.

01:38:00.000 We are an indispensable nation, as Madeleine Albright wrote.

01:38:04.000 Let me turn to three other key issues.

01:38:07.000 Just this morning, we had a great economic report showing inflation is down.

01:38:14.000 Overall, prices fell last month.

01:38:17.000 Core inflation is the lowest it's been in three years.

01:38:21.000 Prices are falling for cars, appliances, and airfares.

01:38:25.000 Grocery prices have fallen since the start of the year.

01:38:28.000 Since the start of the year?

01:38:30.000 Where are they since the start of your presidency, Joe?

01:38:34.000 They'll take two cents and they'll take it like they did something. 0.92

01:38:39.000 Including food from overseas, vegetables, and other necessities.

01:38:44.000 And economists tell us that that would cost the average American working family another $2,500 a year.

01:38:49.000 It's a tax of $2,500 a year.

01:38:55.000 Second, our efforts to secure the border, southern border, is working.

01:39:00.000 After Trump killed the bipartisan effort to secure the border, Republicans and Democrats had worked on, because he thought it would benefit me and make him a loser, Republicans walked away.

01:39:14.000 So I took executive action last month.

01:39:17.000 As a consequence, working with Mexico, border encounters have gone down over 50 percent.

01:39:24.000 It sounds like he may be staying.

01:39:28.000 It doesn't sound like he's leaving.

01:39:32.000 Um... I... I think that's wonderful!

01:39:35.000 What do you guys think?

01:39:36.000 It sounds like he may be staying.

01:39:38.000 It doesn't sound like he's leaving.

01:39:40.000 Um...

01:39:42.000 I...

01:39:44.000 I think that's wonderful.

01:39:46.000 What do you guys think?

01:39:48.000 Is he staying in this race? 0.98

01:39:50.000 was endorsed by the UN Security Council.

01:39:52.000 Of course he's lying.

01:39:56.000 They take, you know... Gas prices came down because they dropped one cent.

01:39:59.000 They're still $4, but, you know, there wasn't the $1.89 when Trump left, but it came down since, you know, we last measured, and therefore we've lowered them.

01:40:06.000 They take, you know, gas prices came down because they dropped one cent.

01:40:10.000 They're still $4, but you know, there wasn't a $1.89 when Trump left, but it came down

01:40:14.000 since we last measured, and therefore we've lowered them.

01:40:18.000 Like, give me a break.

01:40:21.000 You know, Joe, doing a better job of reading a speech than I thought he would.

01:40:25.000 Yeah.

01:40:25.000 nation. Our leadership matters. Our partnerships matter.

01:40:31.000 This moment matters. We must rise to meet it. With that, I'll take your questions.

01:40:38.000 Peter O'Donnell doing a better job at reading a speech than I thought he would.

01:40:42.000 Yeah.

01:40:43.000 It's true.

01:40:44.000 These have to be pre-rigged questions because he just called, you know, it's hard to see

01:40:51.000 people in the stands there and actually call them out by name.

01:40:56.000 So there's no way that's not something that's already in the prompter.

01:41:01.000 George Clooney and a handful of lawmakers have called on you to step aside.

01:41:06.000 Reuters is reporting tonight that UAW leadership is concerned about your ability to win.

01:41:11.000 UAW just endorsed me, but go ahead.

01:41:14.000 fifth of the year ago and he's got a new job. I'm going to start there. Number

01:41:47.000 one. The fact is that. The consideration. Is that I think I'm the most qualified person to run for president. I.

01:41:51.000 I beat him once and I will beat him again.

01:41:55.000 Secondly, the idea... He's reading notes.

01:42:00.000 Look at where he's looking now.

01:42:02.000 The idea that senators and congressmen running for office Don't worry about the ticket.

01:42:11.000 It's not unusual.

01:42:12.000 And I might add, there are at least five Presidents running or incumbent Presidents who had lower numbers than I have now.

01:42:23.000 Later in the campaign.

01:42:24.000 So there's a long way to go in this campaign.

01:42:28.000 And so I, uh, I'm just going to keep moving, keep moving.

01:42:32.000 And because look, I got more work to do.

01:42:34.000 We've got more work to finish.

01:42:35.000 There's so much, we made so much progress.

01:42:39.000 Think about it.

01:42:40.000 Think about it.

01:42:42.000 Hit one. 0.98

01:42:42.000 If you think he stays. 0.98

01:42:44.000 Name me a world leader who wouldn't want to trade places with our economy.

01:42:48.000 We've created over 800,000 manufacturing jobs.

01:42:52.000 1.5 million.

01:42:52.000 He let people go back to work after COVID.

01:42:55.000 That's not job creation, Joe.

01:42:57.000 Working class people still have need help. 1.00

01:42:59.000 Corporate greed is still at large.

01:43:02.000 Their prices, the corporate profits have doubled since the pandemic.

01:43:07.000 They're coming down.

01:43:08.000 And so I'm optimistic about where things are going.

01:43:14.000 Danny Kemp, AFP.

01:43:20.000 Thanks.

01:43:21.000 Thank you, Mr. President.

01:43:22.000 I wanted to ask you about your mixed-up President Zelensky and Putin earlier today.

01:43:33.000 And you now have sort of your key allies including the British Prime Minister, the President of France and the German Chancellor having to step in and make excuses for you on that.

01:43:42.000 Officials here are saying off the record that your decline has become noticeable.

01:43:46.000 Hasn't this now frankly become damaging for America's standing in the world?

01:43:50.000 Thank you.

01:43:50.000 Did you see any damage to our standing in my leading this conference?

01:43:54.000 Have you seen a more successful conference?

01:43:56.000 What do you think?

01:43:58.000 And the Putin piece, I was talking about Putin, and I said, and now, at the very end, I said, here, I mean, Putin, I said, no, I'm sorry, Zelensky.

01:44:09.000 And then I added five other names.

01:44:11.000 Look, guys, the idea, anybody suggests that we haven't had an incredibly successful conference.

01:44:23.000 How many times did you hear in that conference?

01:44:27.000 I know it sounds too self-serving, but other leaders, heads of state, in thanking me, saying the reason we're together is because of Biden, because Biden did the following.

01:44:39.000 Look, folks, this is a. Well, anyway, I here we go.

01:44:45.000 A successful conference I've attended a long time and find me a world leader who didn't think it was Next one.

01:44:54.000 Sorry.

01:44:55.000 Nancy Cordes.

01:44:57.000 CBS.

01:44:59.000 Thank you, Mr. President.

01:45:00.000 You mentioned other instances in history where presidents have faced a challenge.

01:45:05.000 But what makes this moment in history so unique is that it is not your enemies who are calling on you to reconsider your decision to stay in the race.

01:45:13.000 It's your friends, supporters, people who think you've done a great job over the past four years.

01:45:19.000 Have you spent time thinking about what it would mean for your legacy, which you've worked decades to build, if you stay in the race Despite the concerns that voters say they have, and you lose to someone who you yourself have argued is unfit to return to the Oval Office.

01:45:36.000 Look, Joe's own DOJ says he's unfit to stand trial for his crimes.

01:45:41.000 Just so we're clear.

01:45:43.000 I'm in this to complete the job I started.

01:45:46.000 As you recall, understandably, many of you and many economists thought my initial initiatives that I put forward can't do that.

01:45:55.000 It's going to cause inflation.

01:45:56.000 Things are going to skyrocket.

01:45:57.000 The debt's going to go up.

01:45:59.000 I like VP Trump, I mean...

01:46:01.000 From mainstream economists.

01:46:04.000 16 economic Nobel lawyers said I've done a hell of a job.

01:46:09.000 And under my plans so far and what's going to happen in the future if I reelected,

01:46:16.000 that things are going to get much better.

01:46:18.000 Our economy is growing.

01:46:19.000 I was determined when I got elected to stop the trickle-down economic theory.

01:46:24.000 When did the drugs wear off, guys?

01:46:26.000 How long does this go, and when did the drugs wear off?

01:46:29.000 He's 10 minutes in.

01:46:30.000 Does he call it early?

01:46:32.000 How long do you think it goes for?

01:46:36.000 He wants Don Jr.

01:46:37.000 for VP.

01:46:38.000 Maybe that's what he meant.

01:46:39.000 And so what happened is, I decided to implement, was able to implement as president, what I believed when I was a senator.

01:46:47.000 And that is that the way to build this economy is from the middle out and the bottom up.

01:46:52.000 That way, we grow the economy.

01:46:55.000 And the wealthy still do very well.

01:46:57.000 They do fine.

01:46:59.000 And guess what?

01:47:01.000 Five million economists, mainstream economists, have said we haven't done well.

01:47:05.000 What have we not done that isn't working right now?

01:47:08.000 And so, we've got more to do, though.

01:47:09.000 We've got to finish the job.

01:47:11.000 And by the way, I come from the corporate state of the world.

01:47:14.000 Delaware has more corporations registered in Delaware than every other state in the nation combined.

01:47:21.000 I'm not anti-corporate, but corporate profits have doubled since the pandemic.

01:47:26.000 Doubled.

01:47:28.000 It's time things get back in order a little bit.

01:47:30.000 It's time, for example, if I'm re-elected, we're going to make sure that rents are kept at 5% increase.

01:47:37.000 Corporate rents for apartments and the like, and homes, are limited to 5%.

01:47:42.000 We're going to make a lot of changes.

01:47:45.000 Why didn't he do that already?

01:47:47.000 He's been there for three and a half years.

01:47:49.000 Why didn't he do it already?

01:47:50.000 Another lie.

01:47:52.000 Buying votes.

01:47:53.000 Union, not labor.

01:47:54.000 Union.

01:47:58.000 Well, guess what?

01:48:00.000 I've been the most pro-union labor president in history.

01:48:03.000 Not a joke.

01:48:04.000 And guess what?

01:48:06.000 We had the Treasury Department do a study.

01:48:09.000 When unions do better, everybody does better.

01:48:13.000 Everybody does better.

01:48:14.000 And we talk about how, for example, when I went, remember when we talked about getting the computer chip industry back in the United States?

01:48:23.000 Used to be 40% of the industry.

01:48:25.000 We invented the chip.

01:48:26.000 40% of the industry was in the United States.

01:48:30.000 And former presidents decided that the best way to do it was to find the cheapest labor in the world, send the product over there, and import what the product was.

01:48:38.000 And so, what did I do?

01:48:41.000 I was told not to go over to Europe, I mean to Asia, including Europe, but Asia.

01:48:46.000 And I remember going to South Korea, convincing them to invest $20 billion in the United States to build computer chip factories.

01:48:56.000 And I asked why, when they finally decided to do it.

01:48:59.000 And the answer was, because you have the safest economy in the world, and you have the best workers in the world.

01:49:06.000 So the whole idea here is, we've invested over $50 billion in investment in computer chip manufacturing, just coming into being.

01:49:17.000 None of you thought that would happen.

01:49:19.000 None of you thought that would happen.

01:49:21.000 But it's happening.

01:49:23.000 It's happening.

01:49:25.000 I think he's cleaning, folks.

01:49:30.000 Hey, if you're still watching this, make sure you're liking, sharing, subscribing.

01:49:35.000 Now he's just mumbling, but...

01:49:37.000 That we can't continue to build and grow the economy, make it fair.

01:49:43.000 Like I said, from my standpoint, when the middle class does well...

01:49:49.000 If the economy is so good, type one, if you were better off under Trump, or two, if you're better off now.

01:49:57.000 I can't imagine anyone actually...

01:50:00.000 Typing 2, but give me a 1 if you were better off under Trump, or 2, because you're supposed to lie to yourself?

01:50:05.000 I don't get it.

01:50:05.000 Not even the trolls are typing 2.

01:50:06.000 A lot of 1's here.

01:50:06.000 I don't get it.

01:50:07.000 ...and her accomplishments over the last four years that make her ready to serve on day

01:50:12.000 one if necessary.

01:50:13.000 Not even the trolls are typing to.

01:50:14.000 First of all, the way she's handled the issue of freedom of women's bodies to have control 1.00

01:50:19.000 over their bodies.

01:50:20.000 Secondly, her ability to handle almost any issue on the board.

01:50:23.000 A lot of ones here.

01:50:24.000 This was a hell of a prosecutor. 0.95

01:50:25.000 Holy crap, I can't even keep up with the feed. 0.99

01:50:26.000 She was a first-rate person and in the Senate she was really good. 0.99

01:50:30.000 I wouldn't have picked her unless I thought she was qualified to be president. 1.00

01:50:33.000 From the very beginning.

01:50:35.000 I made no bones about that.

01:50:37.000 She is qualified to be president.

01:50:39.000 That's why I picked her. 0.92

01:50:44.000 Felicia Schwartz, Financial Times.

01:50:48.000 Thank you, Mr. President.

01:50:50.000 Presidency is the most straining job in the world, and it's 24-7.

01:50:54.000 How can you say you'll be up for that next year, in two years, in four years, given the limits you've acknowledged that you have today?

01:51:03.000 The limits I've acknowledged I have?

01:51:06.000 There's been reporting that you've acknowledged that you need to go to bed earlier, and you're evening around 8.

01:51:11.000 That's not true.

01:51:12.000 He needs nap time.

01:51:15.000 What I said was, instead of my every day starting at 7 and going to bed at midnight, it'd be smarter for me to pace myself a little more.

01:51:26.000 And I said, for example, the 8, 7, 6 stuff.

01:51:29.000 Instead of starting the fundraiser at 9 o'clock, start at 8 o'clock.

01:51:33.000 People get to go home by 10 o'clock.

01:51:36.000 That's what I'm talking about.

01:51:37.000 I'm not talking about it. 0.98

01:51:38.000 And if you look at my schedule since I've, since I made that stupid mistake in the campaign, in the debate. 0.91

01:51:44.000 I don't think he's going anywhere. 0.96

01:51:46.000 It's amazing.

01:51:46.000 I mean, my schedule has been full bore.

01:51:50.000 I've done, where's Trump been?

01:51:52.000 Riding around in his golf cart, filling out his scorecard before he hits the ball.

01:51:56.000 I mean, look.

01:51:56.000 Hey, listen.

01:51:57.000 He's done virtually nothing.

01:52:00.000 I'm gonna bring back up the golf match.

01:52:02.000 I don't know how many.

01:52:03.000 Don't hold me to it.

01:52:04.000 Roughly 20 major events.

01:52:06.000 Some of them with thousands of people showing up.

01:52:10.000 And so, I just think it's better... I always have an inclination, whether I was playing sports or doing politics, just to keep going, not stop.

01:52:22.000 I just gotta pace myself a little more.

01:52:26.000 Pace myself.

01:52:27.000 In the next debate, I'm not going to be traveling in the 15 time zones a week before.

01:52:34.000 Anyway, that's what it was about.

01:52:37.000 That's what it was about.

01:52:38.000 And by the way, even with that, I love my staff.

01:52:41.000 But they add things.

01:52:43.000 Add things all the time.

01:52:45.000 Very add.

01:52:46.000 I'm catching hell from my wife for that. 1.00

01:52:49.000 Anyway.

01:52:53.000 Let him stay.

01:52:56.000 I'm sorry, uh, Zeke Miller, Associated Press.

01:53:01.000 Thank you, Mr. President.

01:53:02.000 Two questions for you.

01:53:03.000 First, on the NATO summit, President Zelensky, in your meeting with him, he pressed you to lift your limitations on the Ukrainian use of American weapons, saying that, in his public remarks afterwards, saying that Ukraine cannot win the war unless those limitations are lifted.

01:53:19.000 Are you reconsidering your position on that?

01:53:21.000 And then secondly, following up on Felicia's question there, leaders of your own party have said First thing about Zelensky asking for the ability to shrink deep into Russia.

01:53:29.000 they're worried about the next bad night and the bad night after that. How can you reassure

01:53:34.000 the American people that you are up to the task and that there won't be more bad nights

01:53:39.000 at a debate stage or somewhere else?

01:53:43.000 First thing about Zelensky asking for the ability to shrink deep into Russia. We've

01:53:53.000 allowed Zelensky to use American weapons in the near term and the near abroad into Russia.

01:54:01.000 Bye.

01:54:02.000 Whether or not he has, he should be attacked, for example.

01:54:07.000 Should Zelensky, he's not.

01:54:09.000 If he had the capacity to strike Moscow, strike the Kremlin, would that make sense?

01:54:15.000 It wouldn't.

01:54:16.000 The question is, what's the best use of the weaponry he has?

01:54:20.000 The weaponry we're getting to him.

01:54:23.000 I've gotten a more long-range capacity, as well as defensive capacity.

01:54:30.000 And so, our military is where I'm following the advice of my Commander-in-Chief, the Chief of Staff of the military, as well as the Secretary of Defense and our intelligence people.

01:54:44.000 And we're making a day-to-day basis on what they should and shouldn't do, how far they should go in.

01:54:49.000 That's a logical thing to do.

01:54:51.000 Second question related to... Bad nights.

01:54:54.000 Bad nights, sir.

01:54:55.000 How can you reassure the American people that you won't have more bad nights, whether they be on a debate stage or it's a matter of foreign policy?

01:55:02.000 Well, I'll tell you what.

01:55:03.000 The best way to assure them is the way I assure myself.

01:55:09.000 And that is, am I getting the job done?

01:55:12.000 Am I getting the job done?

01:55:14.000 Can you name me somebody who's gotten more major piece of legislation passed in three and a half years?

01:55:19.000 I created 2,000 jobs just last week.

01:55:23.000 So if I slow down, I can't get the job done.

01:55:26.000 That's a sign that I shouldn't be doing it.

01:55:29.000 But there's no indication of that yet.

01:55:31.000 None.

01:55:31.000 What do we got here?

01:55:40.000 Uh, Merrick, Pulaski Radio.

01:55:47.000 Thank you, Mr. President.

01:55:48.000 How are you?

01:55:49.000 I'm well.

01:55:52.000 The elections in the U.S.

01:55:53.000 have consequences around the world.

01:55:56.000 You have pretty high standing in Europe.

01:55:59.000 I just asked President Macron about you and he said we are happy to have him as the President of the United States.

01:56:07.000 But there is a concern.

01:56:11.000 Many people in Poland and across Europe are worried that the former president may win the election.

01:56:19.000 And there's a lot of concerns that Donald Trump may weaken NATO, stop supporting Ukraine, or push Ukraine to give up territories to Russia.

01:56:35.000 They're correct.

01:56:35.000 And you yourself was warning just two minutes ago about it.

01:56:42.000 So my question is, Do you think that Europe will be left on its own if Donald Trump wins the election?

01:56:52.000 And what's your advice to European leaders to prepare for possible US disengagement?

01:57:01.000 Well, look... I think... How can I say this without sounding too self-serving?

01:57:13.000 I've not had any of my European allies come up to me and say, Joe, don't run.

01:57:20.000 What I hear them say is, you've got to win.

01:57:23.000 You can't let this guy come forward.

01:57:27.000 He'd be a disaster.

01:57:30.000 He'd be a disaster.

01:57:32.000 I mean, I think he said in one of his rallies, don't hold me to this, recently, where NATO, I just learned about NATO or something to that effect.

01:57:42.000 Foreign policy has never been his strong point.

01:57:45.000 And he seems to have an affinity to people who are authoritarian.

01:57:49.000 Joe started wars.

01:57:50.000 As I tell you, that worries Europe.

01:57:54.000 That worries Poland.

01:57:55.000 And nobody, including the people of Poland, think that if he wins in Ukraine, he's going to stop in Ukraine.

01:58:01.000 That that's going to be the end of it.

01:58:03.000 And so, what I can say is, I think I'm the best qualified person to do the job.

01:58:10.000 To make sure that Ukraine does not fall, that Ukraine succeeds, that the European alliance stays strong.

01:58:19.000 You may recall, no one was talking about Finland joining NATO.

01:58:24.000 I remember talking to Putin right after we got elected in Geneva.

01:58:30.000 And he was talking about what we should do, we couldn't be in Eastern Europe, etc.

01:58:37.000 And I said, you're looking for the federalization of Ukraine, as you're going to get the natalization of Finland. 0.88

01:58:44.000 He's slow, but he's not.

01:58:45.000 It's not a total disaster for him, I think.

01:58:48.000 I think if he wants to stay, he can stay in.

01:58:49.000 It's going to be hard for these guys just to throw him out on that.

01:58:52.000 Could he come and see me?

01:58:54.000 In my office, I invited him to the Oval Office.

01:58:58.000 We sat down and talked.

01:58:59.000 He said he wanted to join NATO.

01:59:00.000 Could I help?

01:59:02.000 And I did.

01:59:02.000 It wasn't automatic.

01:59:05.000 And then I got a call from the Swedes.

01:59:11.000 I beg your pardon.

01:59:11.000 And a little warrior. He outlasted my expectation.

01:59:20.000 Yeah, I'd say so.

01:59:20.000 I mean, I was thinking, like, debate-level disaster.

01:59:24.000 I mean, it's clear, you know, he's calling on people.

01:59:25.000 I think he probably knows what the question is beforehand.

01:59:27.000 They've kept it different enough that it's, you know, given what's going on in the world, I figured there'd be a lot more of the similar questions.

01:59:33.000 So, you know, it's definitely staged a little bit.

01:59:37.000 You know, it's gonna be harder for them just to say, to get him out.

01:59:40.000 He's slow and lying, but, you know, it's okay.

01:59:44.000 He's pushing us into war.

01:59:44.000 Oh, 100%.

01:59:44.000 because of the joint ability to be together, to dissuade any...

01:59:49.000 He's taking us into war.

01:59:50.000 Oh, 100%.

01:59:51.000 And the same thing with Sweden.

01:59:53.000 It took a lot of selling to some folks, particularly in Turkey and other places,

02:00:02.000 to create the expansion.

02:00:03.000 The only thing Joe did was build back nothing.

02:00:05.000 I agree with that.

02:00:06.000 And we're a hell of a lot stronger because of it.

02:00:08.000 We're more secure because of it.

02:00:11.000 And by the way, I was able to get 50 other nations, 55-0, to support Ukraine. 50.

02:00:20.000 We're able to bring about a coalition between, of Europe and Asia, Japan and South Korea.

02:00:28.000 I just met with, we talked about AUKUS, and we talked about the relationship between Australia, New Zealand, Japan, South Korea, the United States.

02:00:41.000 We're making the world safer and stronger, because we have to deal with a new arrangement that exists in the world.

02:00:48.000 The Cold War is over.

02:00:49.000 The post-war era is over. 0.95

02:00:51.000 What is going to replace it?

02:00:53.000 And I respectfully suggest I have a pretty good idea what that should be.

02:00:58.000 I've convinced a lot of people to follow it.

02:01:00.000 And we're just going to get stronger.

02:01:05.000 David Sanger.

02:01:07.000 Where is it?

02:01:10.000 Thank you, Mr. President.

02:01:12.000 Be nice, David.

02:01:15.000 Mr. President, The NATO declaration that was issued yesterday was very notable because it described China as a decisive enabler of the war in Ukraine for its provision of critical goods to the Russians.

02:01:33.000 That's part of a broader partnership that seems to have cemented in place in the past two or three years.

02:01:41.000 I think one that you were a little bit doubtful of when we asked you about it some time ago.

02:01:46.000 So I'd be interested to know whether you have a strategy now of trying to interrupt the partnership between China and Russia, and whether or not, in a second term, you would pursue that, if you could describe that strategy to us.

02:02:02.000 And along the way, could you also tell us whether you think, just to follow up on Felicia's question, That if you were in a room with Vladimir Putin again the way you were three years ago, or with President Xi, that a few years from now you will be able to go negotiate with them, handle them one-on-one.

02:02:23.000 Hey guys, who do you think Vladimir Putin would rather be in a room with?

02:02:30.000 Number one for Joe Biden, number two for Donald Trump.

02:02:33.000 This one should be interesting.

02:02:35.000 Would Vladimir Putin rather negotiate with Joe Biden, one, or rather negotiate with Trump, two?

02:02:42.000 Vladimir Putin is going to eat Joe Biden's lunch in about three seconds.

02:02:46.000 They're not supplying weapons themselves.

02:02:48.000 They're supplying mechanisms for them to be able to get weapons.

02:02:52.000 And China's position is basically, and I've spent more time with Xi Jinping than any world leader has, Over 90 hours since being vice president all the way through.

02:03:02.000 Yeah, if Putin respects Trump, they can get a deal done.

02:03:06.000 Although he'd probably want to negotiate against Biden just because you'll get whatever he wants and Biden will probably desperately try to do anything.

02:03:13.000 I know Putin fears Trump.

02:03:16.000 You saw that this week, right?

02:03:17.000 NATO, they're trying to get together.

02:03:19.000 They want Putin to get to the table now because they don't want to do it under Trump because they realize The money stops then.

02:03:26.000 ...commitments from Europe to do A, B, C, or D, or not to do certain things.

02:03:32.000 What's happened is we had a long discussion about what we cannot, we have to make clear China has to understand that if they are supplying Russia with information and capacity, along with working with North Korea and others to help Russia in armament, That they're not going to benefit economically as a consequence of that, by getting the kind of investment they're looking for.

02:04:02.000 And so, for example, we're in a situation where, and we've re-established direct contact with China, after that, remember the balloon, quote-unquote, going down, and all of a sudden things came to an end?

02:04:16.000 Well, we set up a new mechanism.

02:04:19.000 There's a direct line between Xi and me, And our military has direct access to one another and they contact one another when we have problems.

02:04:29.000 The issue is that we have to make sure that she understands there's a price to pay for undercutting both the Pacific Basin as well as Europe and it relates to Russia and dealing with Ukraine.

02:04:51.000 And so, we, for example, if you want to invest in China, as you know, you know this area really well.

02:05:00.000 If you want to invest in China, you have to have a 51% Chinese owner, you have to make sure that you do by their rules, and you can't, you don't have the authority, and you have to provide all access to all the data and information you have. 0.87

02:05:15.000 There was a while there, as you recall, in the last administration and other administrations, where the access to that market was enticing enough to get companies to come in because they had access to over a billion people in the market.

02:05:31.000 Not a billion, but a lot of people in the market.

02:05:35.000 And so they were doing it.

02:05:37.000 But that got curtailed when we started saying drugs are wearing off a little bit by the same rules.

02:05:43.000 For example, The idea they don't abide by the international rules related to subsidizing products by the government funding.

02:05:53.000 So, guess what?

02:05:54.000 They're not going to be able to export their electric vehicles to the United States without a significant tariff.

02:06:01.000 Others are doing the same thing around the world.

02:06:04.000 But it is a concern.

02:06:06.000 It is a concern that you have both China, North Korea, Russia, Iran, countries that are not necessarily coordinated in the past, looking to figure out how they can have impact.

02:06:24.000 Do you have a strategy to interrupt that impact?

02:06:28.000 Yes, I do, but I'm not prepared to talk about the detail of it in public.

02:06:36.000 And I think you'll see that some of our European friends Are going to be curtailing their investment in Russia.

02:06:48.000 I mean, excuse me, in China.

02:06:51.000 As long as China continues to have this indirect help to Russia.

02:06:58.000 There we go, folks.

02:06:59.000 In terms of being able to help their economy, as well as... They're going to call it soon, because he's tapped.

02:07:07.000 30 minutes in, he's tapped.

02:07:09.000 In Ukraine.

02:07:12.000 One, if you think Joe's tapped and goes another 10 minutes, or two, if you think he'd keep going.

02:07:19.000 One, Joe's tapped.

02:07:21.000 Two, he keeps going.

02:07:22.000 More than 10 minutes.

02:07:26.000 We need a new industrial policy in the West.

02:07:30.000 For example, we talked about how both the EU as well as NATO Hey guys, if you're new on here, make sure you're liking, sharing, and subscribing as well, okay?

02:07:41.000 That's a big deal.

02:07:41.000 Like, share, subscribe.

02:07:42.000 New viewers right now as we get later in the night. Hey guys if you're new on here

02:07:46.000 Make sure you're liking sharing and subscribing as well.

02:07:50.000 Okay, that's a big deal like share subscribe Okay, if you're how can we have 2.1 thousand likes with 17,000

02:07:59.000 people watching Guys you're killing me

02:08:04.000 Get almost 18,000 people watching us.

02:08:05.000 2,000 likes?

02:08:07.000 systems and so 18,000 people watching this was we're gonna be meeting thousand

02:08:12.000 like my colleagues my European colleagues is what do we do to increase

02:08:17.000 the capacity if we get those likes up a lot I'll stay on afterwards and keep

02:08:22.000 talking but otherwise I'm going to get dinner after this disaster ability to

02:08:27.000 produce their own weapon systems not just for themselves but to be able to

02:08:31.000 generate that that's right now he's just going to sort of the the road talking

02:08:39.000 points it doesn't really have actually all that much to do with the question

02:08:41.000 but it's a fallback kind of spot is going to become the industrial base for

02:08:46.000 the ability to have all the defensive weapons that we need that was a

02:08:52.000 discussion as well I'm not sure you answered on whether you would be ready to...

02:08:58.000 To go deal with Putin and Xi two or three years from now?

02:09:02.000 I'm ready to deal with them now and three years from now.

02:09:05.000 Look, um, the, uh... Yeah, he likes, you know, got a couple, like 400 more likes or 200 more likes, but you guys are killing me.

02:09:13.000 I'm dealing with Xi right now and direct contact with him.

02:09:19.000 I have no good reason to talk to Putin right now.

02:09:23.000 There's not much that, uh, He is prepared to do in terms of accommodating any change in his behavior.

02:09:33.000 But there isn't any world leader I'm not prepared to deal with.

02:09:36.000 He was willing to sit at the table like a year and a half ago, but you guys didn't want to do it because you wanted to make more money peddling death.

02:09:42.000 I'm not ready to talk to Putin unless Putin's ready to change his behavior.

02:09:48.000 And the idea, look, Putin's got a problem.

02:09:55.000 First of all, in this war that he is supposedly won, and by the way, I think, don't hold me to that number, I think that in Russia had 70% of the country was taken out, and now it's 74%.

02:10:05.000 starts getting russian you know fumbly and forgets where he is it's always look

02:10:08.000 look you can you can hear when you start saying that more now it's wearing off

02:10:12.000 or I mean in terms of percentage of territory they've not been very

02:10:17.000 successful They've caused horrible damage and loss of life.

02:10:22.000 But they've also lost over 350,000 troops, military, killed or wounded.

02:10:30.000 They've over a million people, particularly young people with technical capability, leaving Russia because they see no future there.

02:10:38.000 They've got a problem.

02:10:40.000 But what they do have control of is they are very good at controlling and running the public outcry that relates to how they use mechanisms to communicate with people.

02:10:53.000 They lie like hell to the constituencies.

02:10:55.000 They lie like hell about what's going on.

02:10:59.000 And so the idea that we're going to be able to fundamentally change Russia in the near term is not likely, but one thing for certain. 0.67

02:11:08.000 There is, it's right there.

02:11:09.000 If we allow Russia to succeed in Ukraine, they're not stopping Ukraine. 0.82

02:11:14.000 I recommend, I know you know this.

02:11:15.000 Also, by the way, follow me.

02:11:17.000 If you guys are watching and not following me, make sure you're following so that you can get notifications when I go live next week, especially with the convention.

02:11:25.000 I'm going to be doing a lot of random stuff live.

02:11:27.000 Try to sit down with the VP and all this.

02:11:29.000 So it's going to be random.

02:11:30.000 That way you get like notifications.

02:11:31.000 So make sure you guys are following if you're not.

02:11:35.000 So, you know, like, share, subscribe, follow me if you're not already doing that.

02:11:41.000 That's a big deal.

02:11:43.000 I was trying to get him to work on an arms control agreement related to nuclear weapons in space.

02:11:49.000 That didn't go very far.

02:11:52.000 So my point is, I'm prepared to talk to anybody, but I don't see any inclination.

02:11:57.000 There is an inclination on the part of the Chinese to keep in contact with me, because they're not sure where this all goes.

02:12:03.000 And look what's happened in Asia.

02:12:05.000 We have strengthened the Asian Pacific area more than anyone else has.

02:12:11.000 We, you know, we just put together with, today we had, I brought on, I asked our NATO allies that we bring on the group from the South Pacific, Australia, New Zealand, Japan, Australia.

02:12:29.000 I already mentioned Australia.

02:12:31.000 And I met twice now, I think with the 14 leaders of the Pacific island nations.

02:12:37.000 And we've slowed down what's going on there.

02:12:40.000 We've slowed down China's reach. 0.96

02:12:43.000 But there's a lot of work to do.

02:12:44.000 This is a moving target.

02:12:47.000 And I don't take it lightly.

02:12:48.000 I think he's doing okay enough to stay.

02:12:53.000 The press, I think their mission was to try to get him out with this, but I don't think they're going to.

02:12:57.000 Thank you Mr. President.

02:12:58.000 Asma Khalid with NPR.

02:13:00.000 I have two questions.

02:13:01.000 Earlier you spoke about the ceasefire plan between Israel and Hamas.

02:13:06.000 We're now looking at 10 months of war and I'm curious if there's anything that you feel personally you wish you would have done differently over the course of the war.

02:13:15.000 And secondly, if I may, I wanted to ask you about your presidential campaign.

02:13:19.000 I remember covering your campaign in 2020, and there was a moment where you referred to yourself as a, quote, bridge candidacy, a transition to a younger generation of leaders.

02:13:31.000 I want to understand what changed.

02:13:33.000 Yes, take someone who served in Congress for 50 years to transition to a generation of younger leaders.

02:13:38.000 Well, you talked about what I've seen happening with Israel and the Palestinians and the Palestinian movement.

02:13:46.000 The answer is, as you recall, from the very beginning, I immediately... I went to Israel, but I also got immediate contact with Al-Sisi in Egypt.

02:13:54.000 I met with the King of Jordan.

02:13:57.000 I met with... I met with most of the Arab leaders to try to get a consensus going as to what had to be done to deal with getting more aid and food and medicine into the Gaza Strip.

02:14:14.000 And...

02:14:15.000 We pushed it really hard, and Israel occasionally was less than cooperative, number one.

02:14:22.000 The Israeli war cabinet, I've been dealing with Israel since Golda Meir. 0.91

02:14:28.000 I saw some of the reporters around here coming all the time and heard me say this.

02:14:32.000 The last first time I met with Golda Meir, I sat across from her at her desk, and her assistant was Rabin, sitting next to me.

02:14:40.000 That's how far back I'd go.

02:14:41.000 I know Israel well.

02:14:43.000 I support Israel.

02:14:44.000 But this war cabinet is one of the most conservative war cabinets in the history of Israel.

02:14:53.000 And there's no ultimate answer other than a two-state solution here.

02:14:56.000 And so what was able to be done, in terms of the plan I put together, was it would be a process for a two-state solution.

02:15:05.000 And we get the Arab nations to, particularly from Egypt to all the way to Saudi Arabia, to be in a position where they would cooperate in the transition so that they could keep the peace in Gaza without Israeli forces staying in Gaza.

02:15:22.000 The question has been from the beginning, what's the day after in Gaza?

02:15:26.000 And the day after in Gaza has to be, the end of the day after has to be no occupation by Israel on the Gaza Strip.

02:15:36.000 As well as the ability for us to access, get in and out as rapidly as you can, all that's needed there.

02:15:45.000 I've been disappointed that some of the things that I've put forward have not succeeded as well.

02:15:50.000 Like the port reattached from Cyprus.

02:15:52.000 I want the press to ask how many times Joe takes a nap a week.

02:15:55.000 But that's why when I went to Israel immediately after the massacres that occurred at the hands of Hamas, The one thing I said to the Israelis, and I met with the War Cabinet and with Bibi, don't make the same mistake America made after Bin Laden. 0.57

02:16:14.000 There's no need to occupy anywhere.

02:16:17.000 Go after the people who did the job.

02:16:20.000 You may recall, I still get criticized for it, but I was totally opposed to the occupation and trying to unite Afghanistan.

02:16:30.000 Once we got Bin Laden, we should have moved on. 0.99

02:16:35.000 Because it was not, and no one's ever going to unite that country.

02:16:39.000 I've been over every inch of that, not every inch, the entirety from the poppy fields all the way to the north.

02:16:46.000 I said, don't make the same mistake we made.

02:16:48.000 Don't think that's what you should be doing, is doubling down.

02:16:52.000 We'll help you find the bad guys.

02:16:54.000 Cyn Warren Company.

02:16:56.000 And all this criticism about I wouldn't provide the weapons they needed.

02:17:01.000 I'm not providing 2,000 pound bombs.

02:17:04.000 They cannot be used in Gaza or any populated area without causing great human tragedy and damage. 0.99

02:17:11.000 But remember what happened when you had the attack on Israel with rockets and ballistic missiles.

02:17:23.000 I was able to unite the Arab nations as well as Europe.

02:17:29.000 And nothing happened.

02:17:30.000 Nothing got hurt.

02:17:31.000 It sent an incredible lesson to what was going on from the Middle East. 0.92

02:17:36.000 So there's a lot of things, in retrospect, I wish I had been able to convince the Israelis to do. 0.97

02:17:43.000 But the bottom line is we have a chance now.

02:17:45.000 It's time to end this war. 0.91

02:17:48.000 Doesn't mean walk away from going after Sinwar and Hamas. 0.94

02:17:52.000 And if you notice, you know better than most, there is a growing dissatisfaction on the West Bank from the Palestinians about Hamas.

02:18:04.000 Hamas is not popular now.

02:18:06.000 And so...

02:18:07.000 There's a lot of moving parts.

02:18:09.000 I just have to keep moving to make sure that we get as much done as we can toward a ceasefire.

02:18:15.000 A ceasefire.

02:18:17.000 And by the way, look at the numbers in Israel.

02:18:24.000 I mean, my numbers are better in Israel than they are here.

02:18:28.000 But then again, they're better than a lot of other people here, too.

02:18:31.000 But anyway.

02:18:35.000 What changed was the gravity of the situation I inherited in terms of the economy, our foreign policy, and domestic division.

02:18:41.000 for a younger, fresher generation of Democratic leaders, and I wanted to know what changed.

02:18:47.000 What changed was the gravity of the situation I inherited, in terms of the economy, our foreign policy,

02:18:57.000 and domestic division.

02:19:00.000 And I think, I won't put words in anybody's mouth, most presidential historians give me credit

02:19:09.000 for having accomplished more than most any president since Johnson and maybe before that,

02:19:15.000 to get major pieces of legislation passed.

02:19:18.000 And what I realized was, my long time in the Senate had equipped me to have the wisdom to know how to deal with the Congress, to get things done.

02:19:30.000 We got more major legislation passed that no one thought would happen.

02:19:34.000 And I want to finish it.

02:19:36.000 To get that finished.

02:19:38.000 If tomorrow, if we had a circumstance where there was a lineup and I hadn't inherited what I did and we just moved things along.

02:19:50.000 Anyway, it's going to change.

02:19:53.000 Last question.

02:19:56.000 Haley Bull, Scripps.

02:19:59.000 Or no, Josh Weingrove.

02:20:00.000 I'm sorry.

02:20:02.000 Where's the next one?

02:20:03.000 I'll do two more questions.

02:20:06.000 Thank you, Mr. President.

02:20:08.000 Many of your colleagues, Democrats on the Hill, are watching tonight as they assess what they want to say about your candidacy.

02:20:15.000 I'm wondering how you're thinking of this right now.

02:20:17.000 It seems like your answer is clear, but they're watching how things go tonight, tomorrow in Michigan, next week in Texas and Nevada.

02:20:25.000 Are you thinking that way about whether how the next week or two goes would inform you?

02:20:30.000 Am I using that way?

02:20:31.000 Are you thinking that way about how the next two weeks go?

02:20:34.000 Will that affect your decision or are you fully determined on running I'm determined on running, but I think it's important that I lay fears by letting them see me out there.

02:20:49.000 For the longest time, it was, you know, Biden's not prepared to sit with us unscripted.

02:20:57.000 Biden's not prepared to, you know, anyway.

02:21:00.000 And so what I'm doing is, and I've been doing, I think we've done over 20 major events from Wisconsin to North Carolina to, anyway, to demonstrate that I'm going out in the areas where we think we can win, where we can persuade people to move our way, where people are already there.

02:21:19.000 And look, the other thing is, we have the most extensive campaign organization that anybody's had in a long, long time.

02:21:28.000 We have well over a thousand volunteers knocking on doors, making phone calls, making tens of thousands of phone calls.

02:21:35.000 We have headquarters.

02:21:36.000 I forget exactly how many I want to make a certain number and then find out I'm off, but we have scores of headquarters.

02:21:44.000 He's running out of energy, not out of money.

02:21:48.000 Oh yeah.

02:21:50.000 Megamaga 9-1-1.

02:21:52.000 Anyway, anyway.

02:21:52.000 He's sort of losing his thought as he goes to anyway.

02:21:55.000 It's another one of his, he has these sort of default ticks.

02:21:59.000 It's wearing off now.

02:22:00.000 time. So proud of what I've done in the Senate. It's it's wearing. I was chairman of the Foreign

02:22:05.000 Relations Committee for a long time. I was chairman or ranking member and chairman of the Judiciary

02:22:10.000 Committee. I'm going to be going down to the Johnson Library on anyway. I'm going to be going

02:22:17.000 around making the case for the things that I think we have to finish and how we can't afford to lose

02:22:24.000 what we've done or backslide on civil rights, civil liberties, women's rights. 0.90

02:22:31.000 There's that little button we have.

02:22:34.000 Control guns, not girls. 1.00

02:22:36.000 I mean, the idea, we're sitting around, this is where Kamala's so good as well.

02:22:41.000 We're sitting around, more children! 0.89

02:22:45.000 Or killed by a bullet.

02:22:48.000 Now he's gonna get angry. 0.58

02:22:48.000 And any other cause of death. 0.58

02:22:50.000 The United States of America!

02:22:53.000 What the hell are we doing?

02:22:55.000 What are we doing?

02:22:57.000 We got a candidate who said, promised the NRA, don't worry, I'm not gonna do anything.

02:23:01.000 I'm not gonna do anything.

02:23:02.000 Oh, they'll take interstate.

02:23:03.000 We got a Supreme Court that is what you might call the most conservative court in American history. 0.97

02:23:09.000 This is ridiculous.

02:23:11.000 There's so much we can do still.

02:23:13.000 And I'm determined to get it done.

02:23:16.000 It's about freedom.

02:23:17.000 And by the way, I'll end this.

02:23:20.000 Well, I'm not going to do that.

02:23:21.000 Haley has to come up too.

02:23:23.000 I remember I made a speech on democracy in Philadelphia at Independence Hall.

02:23:35.000 And I'm not being critical, just observing.

02:23:37.000 The bulk of the press, what the hell is he talking about that for?

02:23:43.000 You did.

02:23:44.000 Democracy's not an issue.

02:23:46.000 Democracy's not an issue.

02:23:48.000 Except the polling data showed 60% of the people knew I was right.

02:23:51.000 Thought I was right.

02:23:53.000 I'm not asking you a question.

02:23:54.000 You don't have to answer, obviously.

02:23:56.000 But do you think our democracy's under siege?

02:23:59.000 Based on this court?

02:24:00.000 Do you think democracy's under siege based on Project 2025?

02:24:05.000 Do you think he means what he says when he says he's gonna do away with the civil service?

02:24:09.000 Eliminate his Department of Education?

02:24:12.000 By the way, our kids would get actually good education if we eliminated the Department of Education.

02:24:17.000 Just so we're clear.

02:24:19.000 Project 2025 has nothing to do with us, but that doesn't matter.

02:24:23.000 The media will run with it.

02:24:25.000 You've had discussions over the past few days with your press secretary about the question of health exams.

02:24:35.000 And you said you take a cognitive test every day in this job.

02:24:39.000 Are you open to taking another physical or test before the election?

02:24:43.000 Governor Whitmer of Michigan, for instance, said it wouldn't hurt to take a test.

02:24:46.000 Well, look, two things.

02:24:49.000 I've taken three significant and intense neurological exams by a neurologist.

02:24:59.000 In each case, the reason is February.

02:25:05.000 And they say I'm in good shape, okay?

02:25:08.000 Is this the neurologist that's also your business partner?

02:25:10.000 I have a little problem with my left foot because it's not as sensitive because I broke my foot and didn't wear the boot.

02:25:17.000 But I'm good.

02:25:19.000 I'm tested every single day about my neurological capacity, the decisions I make every day.

02:25:25.000 You talked to my staff, all of you talked to my staff.

02:25:28.000 Sometimes my staff talks a lot.

02:25:31.000 But the fact of the matter is, I don't think you have them telling you that all the major ideas we've undertaken haven't been in part initiated by me.

02:25:40.000 I remember with the staff, I said, I'm going to go to South Korea, we're going to get the chip.

02:25:44.000 What are you doing?

02:25:46.000 I'm going to get Japan and Korea back together again after not essentially having hostilities toward one another since the end of World War two I'm gonna move and see that we can expand it, you know The only thing age does Is help you with it creates a little bit of wisdom if you pay attention Anyway, and so the point I'm making is I think it's important that I if

02:26:18.000 If the neurologist tells me he thinks I need another exam, and by the way, I've laid every bit of the record out.

02:26:26.000 I haven't done anything.

02:26:30.000 You ought to ask Trump for his, okay?

02:26:33.000 He literally did one.

02:26:34.000 With the public servant White House doctor.

02:26:36.000 Every single day I'm surrounded by good docs.

02:26:39.000 Not a private guy that doesn't, isn't obligated to speak.

02:26:43.000 Can we get Congress to subpoena his doctor?

02:26:47.000 I'll do it.

02:26:48.000 No one's suggesting that to me now.

02:26:50.000 And I'll ask you another question.

02:26:52.000 No matter what I did, no one's going to be satisfied.

02:26:56.000 Did you have seven docs?

02:26:58.000 Did you have two?

02:26:59.000 Who'd you have?

02:27:00.000 Did you do this?

02:27:01.000 How many times?

02:27:01.000 So, I am not opposed if my doctors tell me I should have another neurological exam, I'll do it.

02:27:10.000 But that's where I am.

02:27:13.000 Haley Bull, Scripps.

02:27:17.000 Thank you, Mr. President.

02:27:18.000 You said you're making decisions on a day-to-day basis when it comes to support for Ukraine.

02:27:23.000 Does that mean you have not closed the door on further considering lifting restrictions for U.S.-made weapons inside Russia?

02:27:31.000 And if I may, your convention is coming up where your delegates are pledged to make you the official nominee.

02:27:37.000 If they have second thoughts, are they free to vote their conscience?

02:27:41.000 Obviously, they're free to do whatever they want, but I get overwhelming support.

02:27:46.000 Overwhelming support.

02:27:47.000 Alright, number one, do you guys think they throw him out at their convention?

02:27:51.000 Do you think there's a coup at their convention?

02:27:54.000 Show me a one.

02:27:54.000 Or two, do you think he's the nominee even after the Democrat convention?

02:27:59.000 One, they throw him out of the convention.

02:28:01.000 Two, he's still the nominee and they don't.

02:28:07.000 Sure, look.

02:28:10.000 I'll end this with this.

02:28:14.000 I served in the Senate a long time.

02:28:18.000 I understand the impetus of candidates running for local office, and whether they think the topic of the day would help them or not.

02:28:27.000 Big guy got demoted to big boy for this presser anyway.

02:28:29.000 In my state of Delaware, which was a very, at least a purple, it was a red state when I started.

02:28:38.000 He lasted longer than expected, I have to let you know.

02:28:41.000 Matt, too bad for him overall.

02:28:43.000 I don't disagree.

02:28:44.000 I think it's perfect.

02:28:46.000 I don't recall most of the equity questions winning when I was a kid.

02:28:49.000 Truth in it or is it?

02:28:50.000 It's so interesting.

02:28:50.000 You know, if they think they're, you know, running them by the top, this is going to hurt them, then they're going to run away.

02:28:55.000 I can't.

02:28:56.000 So far, go and look at the polling data in their states.

02:28:59.000 I think the press, if they were trying to knife him, could have done a much easier job

02:29:03.000 with real questions.

02:29:04.000 But, you know, maybe...

02:29:05.000 Go and look at the polling data in their states.

02:29:10.000 Look at the indefinite...

02:29:11.000 And by the way, I think you'd all acknowledge, and you're all experts...

02:29:16.000 I'm not being solicitous about the president.

02:29:17.000 You're experts on this stuff.

02:29:21.000 How accurate does anybody think the polls are these days?

02:29:25.000 I can give you a series of polls where you have likely voters, me versus Trump, where I win all the time.

02:29:32.000 When the unlikely voters vote, he wins sometimes.

02:29:36.000 The bottom line is all the polling data right now, which I think is premature because the campaign really hasn't even started.

02:29:43.000 I mean, it hadn't started in earnest yet.

02:29:45.000 Most of the time, it doesn't start until after September, after Labor Day.

02:29:51.000 So, a lot can happen.

02:29:54.000 But I think I'm the best qual- I know, I believe I'm the best qualified to govern.

02:30:00.000 And I think I'm the best qualified to win.

02:30:03.000 But there are other people who could be trumped, too.

02:30:06.000 But it's awful to start from scratch.

02:30:09.000 And, you know, we talk about You know, money raised.

02:30:14.000 We're not doing bad.

02:30:15.000 We got about 220 million dollars in the bank.

02:30:18.000 We're doing well.

02:30:20.000 So, with that, you have any want to follow up on any of that?

02:30:23.000 You just asked me?

02:30:25.000 Yes.

02:30:28.000 You earlier explained confidence in your vice president.

02:30:32.000 Yes.

02:30:33.000 If your team came back and showed you data that she would fare better against former President Donald Trump, would you reconsider your decision to stay in the race?

02:30:43.000 No, unless they came back and said, there's no way you can win.

02:30:49.000 What do you guys think?

02:30:51.000 I don't think he wants to go, folks.

02:30:55.000 This ends tonight's press conference.

02:30:59.000 Thanks everybody.

02:31:01.000 What do you guys think?

02:31:07.000 I'm going to take my earpiece off so I can...

02:31:09.000 What do you guys think?

02:31:13.000 I don't think he wants to go, folks.

02:31:15.000 I think he wants to stay in it.

02:31:17.000 You know, I think he did better than I actually thought he was going to do.

02:31:21.000 I don't think it was a great job by, you know, any means.

02:31:26.000 But I think it's a big one.

02:31:29.000 I'll keep going for a little bit, but I also want to make sure we thank our great sponsors for tonight's show.

02:31:34.000 Make sure you're visiting TNUSA.com slash Don Jr.

02:31:39.000 TNUSA.com slash DONJR.

02:31:42.000 That's Tax Network USA for a free consultation to settle your tax disputes once and for all.

02:31:48.000 That's a big one.

02:31:48.000 Also, guys, Make sure that you're downloading the Public Square app today or go to publicsquare.com because together we can build the Patriot economy, we can save our country, we can push back on the nonsense that is woke capital, woke corporations, all of that insanity.

02:32:05.000 Make sure you guys check out Public Square.

02:32:06.000 I think it's just a great Business, you can vote with your wallets, like patriots support patriotic businesses.

02:32:14.000 People who sign up, whether you're a business or whether you're a consumer, you can sign up as a business.

02:32:18.000 Consumers that want to support, you know, guys that share their ideology, vote with your wallet that way.

02:32:24.000 Check out Public Square.

02:32:26.000 Whoa, live feed's still going strong.

02:32:32.000 Rudy says Biden isn't fit to be president.

02:32:33.000 Well, I don't think anyone necessarily thinks he's fit to be president, but I'm happy to run against him.

02:32:37.000 So I think he, I think he did fine enough to, to be able to stay in it.

02:32:41.000 He doesn't want to go, or Jill doesn't want to go, or Hunter needs the pardon, or whatever it is, they got to drag it out as long as possible.

02:32:49.000 So I think, I think that works.

02:32:52.000 I'm fine with it.

02:32:54.000 I'm fine with it.

02:32:58.000 The meds were definitely wearing off.

02:33:00.000 The anyways and the this.

02:33:02.000 He's going back to the crutches that he has when he loses his train of thought.

02:33:07.000 So I think that's a big deal.

02:33:10.000 Don, go have dinner.

02:33:11.000 Thank you for the show.

02:33:13.000 Thank you, guys.

02:33:14.000 I'm going to do that.

02:33:15.000 I'm still going.

02:33:16.000 We got 16,000 people watching.

02:33:17.000 That's like a hockey arena, so I don't want to disappear.

02:33:20.000 But I think we covered most of what it is.

02:33:24.000 Um, Don, when the chat is up, the like button is hidden.

02:33:27.000 That's why there's no likes.

02:33:28.000 Is that true?

02:33:33.000 Oh, really?

02:33:36.000 If you're on mobile, it's hidden.

02:33:38.000 Oh, that's interesting.

02:33:39.000 Hey, and how about this?

02:33:40.000 The second you guys log off, can you just go to the main header and just like it then?

02:33:43.000 That way, if you're off the chat, that way I get some credit.

02:33:47.000 I mean, you had 16,000 people two and a half hours into a show.

02:33:50.000 That's pretty decent for someone who does it part-time and not every day.

02:33:55.000 And so there's still only...

02:33:58.000 Well, maybe it's not moving because I'm not refreshing this, but I sort of got out of the other.

02:34:04.000 So let's see.

02:34:06.000 Daddy's coming home in January.

02:34:11.000 Daddy Trump.

02:34:12.000 Let's do it.

02:34:13.000 Good job, Junior.

02:34:14.000 Thank you.

02:34:18.000 Let's see, he's toast.

02:34:20.000 We'll keep him in.

02:34:21.000 You know, listen, like I said, I'm sort of fine with it, right?

02:34:24.000 You already have Joe Biden defined.

02:34:26.000 No one's gonna think he's a great orator or competent or anything like that, so I think that's a big deal.

02:34:31.000 You put in someone new.

02:34:32.000 Even Kamala, it's just not nearly as defined.

02:34:34.000 You haven't had all the, you know, the memers and this going after her quite the same way.

02:34:39.000 So, you know, that's...

02:34:42.000 That's a big deal.

02:34:43.000 You probably don't want to have to redefine someone else.

02:34:45.000 And, you know, the media and tech will do their job to suppress all of that.

02:34:48.000 So, you know, Joe's pretty well-defined.

02:34:50.000 So, you know, I'm inclined to, you know, let him stay.

02:34:52.000 I think he wants to.

02:34:53.000 But don't forget, guys, next week, RNC week, I'll be up in Milwaukee all week.

02:35:00.000 We're probably going to do a show, I think, every night.

02:35:01.000 What, 6 p.m.? ?

02:35:05.000 Five local, so five central Milwaukee time, six eastern.

02:35:09.000 I'll keep it a little bit shorter, probably like 45 minutes to an hour every night, but we'll make sure we do that.

02:35:20.000 My big speech.

02:35:22.000 I guess introducing the VP, whoever it may be, on Wednesday night or right before the VP, I should say, on Wednesday night.

02:35:31.000 That's going to be later at night.

02:35:32.000 We'll probably cover that live on here as well.

02:35:33.000 I think we'll be able to do that.

02:35:37.000 So make sure it's going to be a big week for the party, for my father, for us, for the movement.

02:35:43.000 So make sure you're tuning in for that one.

02:35:45.000 That's going to be a big deal.

02:35:48.000 Yeah, so we'll be on every night next week.

02:35:49.000 So again, like, share, subscribe now.

02:35:53.000 You know, follow if you're not already.

02:35:55.000 That way you can get notifications that we're going on because it's going to be a little bit of a different schedule.

02:35:58.000 I'm going to be more on regularly.

02:36:01.000 We may do a couple of random ones in there.

02:36:03.000 So just wanted to make sure you guys are aware of that and that you don't miss any of it because, you know, let's just say I'll probably have some pretty good access.

02:36:11.000 So with that, I'm going to go eat dinner because I'm freaking starving.

02:36:15.000 I haven't eaten yet today.

02:36:16.000 And you guys have a great evening.

02:36:19.000 I will see you Monday night, I guess.

02:36:22.000 From Milwaukee.

02:36:24.000 Have a great night, guys.
