00:09:59.000And guys, while we're at it, with the stock market uncertainty, inflation through the
00:10:05.000roof, absolute insanity across the board, don't forget to protect yourself from the
00:10:11.000abject ridiculousness of this world with the Birch Gold Group.
00:10:16.000Look, you see the markets, you see the volatility, you know the Fed is just printing more and more money.
00:10:23.000That means that your costs go up and your quality of life goes down.
00:10:27.000So as I always say, I simply want you to be prepared.
00:10:29.000For over 20 years, Birch Gold Group has helped thousands of Americans protect their savings by converting an IRA or 401k into an IRA in physical gold.
00:12:09.000Well, on the issue of militarization of police, I have a long-standing record saying we need to demilitarize police and, you know, and we really need to get to a point where communities, frankly, don't need a law enforcement response to what's happening in their communities because they are safe communities.
00:12:28.000She said, and I quote, we really need to get to a point where communities frankly don't need a law enforcement response to what's happening in their communities, end of quote.
00:13:59.000They're telling us Kamala's a moderate.
00:14:00.000They're telling us she's going to do crackdown on the border and she's going to fix inflation and do all of the things she literally could have been doing for the last three and a half, three and three quarters years, but didn't.
00:14:12.000Because they have no intention of ever doing any of those things.
00:14:15.000They're trying to act normal to win the Midwest vote and get people that would never otherwise vote for Kamala Harris to believe that she's going to be normal.
00:14:44.000During the first night of the DNC, for example, they said the word Trump 147 times.
00:14:53.000But strangely enough, they said inflation just three times and crime just six times.
00:15:00.000They don't want to talk about their policies because their policies are trash.
00:15:05.000They don't want to talk about inflation because they caused it.
00:15:09.000They don't want to talk about crime because they wanted to defund the police and are soft on crime and criminals and illegals and the fentanyl coming across our border and the human trafficking and child sex trafficking happening on a daily basis.
00:15:25.000The DNC's 2024 platform, which mentions Biden's second term 19 different times, endorses a bill to create a pathway to citizenship for the millions of illegal aliens in the country today.
00:15:41.000Their comprehensive immigration plan is to open the floodgates to millions and give them all access to Social Security and Medicare.
00:16:10.000But when they try to make a difference between Kamala Harris and Joe Biden, even though she's part of this administration, even though this administration's own press secretary said there is no light between Joe Biden and Kamala Harris on the issues They're trying to tell you that now she's magically gonna change.
00:16:28.000She's not pushing Joe to do any of these things now, again, because she has no intention of actually doing any of them.
00:16:35.000She just will tell you whatever it takes to get your vote.
00:17:10.000In many cases, tens of millions of people who in many cases may not have any education, may not add any value, but they will be reliable Democrat voters because they will be dependent on your taxpayer dollars to survive.
00:17:24.000And as long as you have dependents, you have people that will vote for Democrats.
00:18:20.000And get this, the Labor Department this week announced that the nation's economy added far fewer jobs last year and earlier this year than previously reported.
00:18:35.000It's almost like every report, and I think all but one, maybe two, were all redacted later and changed and lowered because they're lying to you.
00:18:47.000They'll tell you whatever it is to make it seem like it's great, and then they give you the actual numbers a couple months later.
00:18:52.000Then they give you the glowing report, and the actual numbers come out a couple months later.
00:18:55.000To the average person, it looks like things are going great, but they're not.
00:19:00.000In fact, so we are clear, monthly payroll statistics overstated new jobs by over 800,000 during the 12-month period.
00:19:10.000That's a lot of jobs to be overstated by.
00:19:42.000Because they're all in it for Kamala Harris and the Democrats, despite the fact that those people are objectively failing Americans on a daily basis.
00:19:52.000Are they just cooking the books at this point?
00:19:58.000How can it happen each and every quarter, each and every reporting period?
00:20:02.000Here's my father laying it all out in North Carolina yesterday.
00:20:07.000Before we begin, I want to address the massive scandal around the revised job numbers that were just announced this morning, a little while ago, just before I came up, I got to see them.
00:20:18.000And it really isn't a revision, it's a total lie.
00:20:32.000The Harris-Biden administration has been caught fraudulently manipulating job statistics to hide the true extent of the economic ruin that they've inflicted on America.
00:20:47.000The new data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics shows that the administration padded the numbers with an extra, listen to this one, 818,000 jobs that don't exist.
00:21:42.000Given her history, given her policies, given that she's hiding from them, given that she won't even answer their questions or do a press conference, something that's not on a teleprompter, do you think that she should get that much positive coverage while my father, who's willing to go out there, who actually have policies that work, they've worked in the past, they will work again, gets 89% negative coverage?
00:22:02.000Shouldn't they be looking at the mainstream media and maybe, I don't know, have the Federal Election Commission go after them for an in-kind contribution to the Democrat Party?
00:22:12.000That's trillions of dollars of free advertising pretending the Democrats are doing a great job.
00:22:17.000The Democrats are relying solely on good media coverage and so-called vibes and cheap applause lines, right?
00:22:24.000It's a joyful campaign, Kamala Harris.
00:22:27.000I don't see a lot of joy at the supermarket checkout lines.
00:22:30.000I don't see a lot of joy, people at the pump.
00:22:33.000I certainly don't see a lot of joy in the Middle East or in Russia, Ukraine.
00:22:37.000Where wars are going all over the place.
00:22:39.000I certainly don't see a lot of joy in Taiwan when they're wondering when they're going to get invaded because America's weak leadership under the Harris Biden administration has allowed for these things to happen.
00:22:50.000That's just the DNC talking points that the media is gladly and willing to run with.
00:22:57.000For example, Here's an interesting clip from Michelle Obama's speech, which is a perfect example of the outright delusion of the so-called political elite.
00:24:27.000Someone worth tens of millions, if not hundreds of millions of dollars, can tell you that her parents wouldn't trust anyone that has more than their fair share.
00:24:36.000What exactly did Michelle Obama and Barack Obama do for those tens or hundreds of millions of dollars?
00:24:50.000But they can do that with a straight face, without any appreciation of the abject insanity and irony of what they're talking about.
00:25:01.000These people are so phony and would rather listen to what they say than how they actually live their lives.
00:25:08.000They expect you just to go along blindly, do as I say, not as I do.
00:25:13.000That should be the party mantra of the Democrats, especially Michelle Obama, because that one's truly, truly special.
00:25:20.000And speaking of phony, on Tuesday, Kamala Harris made Air Force Two fly in circles for 15 minutes so she can finish watching Doug's speech.
00:25:33.000Guys, remember, you don't get to have plastic straws, but they can burn.
00:25:38.000All that fuel that they want, as much as they want.
00:25:41.000And trust me, Air Force Two, I've been in it.
00:26:48.000Look at the actual job numbers, not the one they tell you when they publish, but the ones where they always revise it down a couple of weeks later or a couple of months later.
00:26:56.000And then try to get a grip on reality.
00:27:00.000And guys, this is one more that you have to check out because I literally feel like I'm Jim Carrey in the Truman Show on this one.
00:27:08.000A speaker, I think it was Monday night, the DNC, it was maybe Tuesday, literally got on a stage and said, if Donald Trump gets elected, he may weaponize the DOJ against his political rivals.
00:27:24.000He may actually have the FBI come knocking on their doors.
00:32:40.000He's answered the call, and I think it's more important now, way more important than even his election in 2016.
00:32:46.000Yeah, you touched on something that is really interesting, because I've actually said it a lot and people, you know, some people get it, some people sort of, you know, poo-poo it, but that Biden has actually been incredibly effective for the sort of the Obama-Marxist agenda.
00:33:00.000I always said that Obama, to your point, would have done much more had he been able to get away with it without, you know, destroying his legacy, without being criticized.
00:33:09.000You know, they like their, you know, the mansion on the water in Martha's Vineyard.
00:33:13.000They want to be able to do that, but But they've used Joe Biden as sort of the useful idiot.
00:33:18.000You know, no one believes he's ever probably been in charge since he took over the presidency.
00:33:23.000It's not just the last couple of weeks that magically everyone figured it out.
00:33:26.000I wrote about it in my book, Liberal Privilege.
00:33:28.000I mean, you ask any, you know, neuropsych specialist, any brain surgeon, any of this, you know, If you had two of the traumatic brain injuries, the aneurysms that he has had, like, it's statistically almost literally impossible to not have, you know, cognitive decline.
00:33:43.000Certainly, you know, you could be a nice grandfather, but you probably couldn't run the free world.
00:33:48.000But it didn't matter because they'd stick in whatever they wanted in front of him.
00:33:52.000So in terms of the radical left movement, he's actually been an incredibly effective, I don't want to say leader because he's not the guy leading, but a mechanism, a crudgel for pushing the Marxist agenda.
00:34:05.000And I think that's only going to be furthered, obviously, by Kamala Harris.
00:34:08.000But I'd like to hear your thoughts first on Biden, and obviously we'll get into Kamala in the media shortly.
00:34:12.000Yeah, well, interestingly, you said you wrote about it in your book.
00:36:07.000Well, he was known, you know, and my dad, you know, obviously had a lot of political connections on, frankly, on the other side of the aisle prior to getting into politics and from the 80s and 90s.
00:36:14.000And I mean, he was literally known as the dumbest man in the United States Congress, not just the Senate.
00:36:21.000And this is not me being like, hey, you know, beating up an old man like this was literally no.
00:36:26.000Now, you know, again, often wrong, never in doubt.
00:36:52.000He's been a vicious guy who's able to play that nice card pretty well, and people have bought into the lie.
00:36:58.000But I have no patience for the way he was characterized during the campaign when the Never Trumpers went on our side, went to support him, actually support him, and they wrote columns in the Atlantic of how he was a gentle, kind, humane, empathetic person.
00:37:14.000He is the opposite, and anybody that says that has no discernment.
00:38:16.000There was no evidence, but it was the gospel for four years.
00:38:19.000There are some that are still pretending like it's real.
00:38:22.000You had an assassination attempt of a former president, at the time the presumptive nominee, now the nominee of one of the two major parties, the person who was leading in the polls at the time, and it's as though it didn't happen.
00:39:04.000Well, I think part of it is we are so divided, clearly divided, and no matter what they do, they're going to vote against us because they think we're pure evil.
00:39:13.000It's interesting because their policies are pure evil, and they characterize your dad and the rest of us.
00:39:19.000By the way, it's not just about your dad.
00:39:21.000They hate every one of us that supports him.
00:40:29.000And those of us on the right, like that interview he did with Elon Musk.
00:40:34.000My gosh, those two guys talking how authentic and organic that conversation was, the liberals, the left, criticized it because it was not an interview.
00:41:14.000She didn't even admit she changed her mind.
00:41:15.000She acted like she never had this record that we have.
00:41:19.000No, she wants to do no tax on tips, stealing Trump's policy when she was literally deciding to vote to expand the rules to allow the IRS to go after those same wage earners that made tips.
00:41:44.000The exact reporter, not just the publication, that exact reporter at the same publication two years ago wrote an article about her being, and I quote, the Border Czar.
00:42:19.000It's insane and it's happening and they get away with it each and every time and the elections are still closed because not enough people care to learn.
00:42:28.000It's more Orwellian than Orwell could have ever predicted.
00:42:33.000We're talking about Kamala going from the least popular person who couldn't get one vote in the 2020 primary And now she's just been anointed, not just appointed, but anointed in complete contravention of democratic processes, and they always hail their own protection of democracy, which is another whole subject we could destroy.
00:43:21.000Many of us, you know, probably you as well, you know, I know I did.
00:43:24.000The things I got, you know, when I said, you know, years ago, like, of course, like, the Wuhan lab leak, like, happened from the lab that studies the exact virus.
00:45:04.000He's engaged in all of that stuff, in every issue they talked about, and in stuff that doesn't even intersect politics.
00:45:11.000He's such a businessman with such knowledge.
00:45:14.000And he's a generalist, but he's also a specific guy with attention to detail.
00:45:19.000And when people see that, and they see he's the real guy in that conversation, as opposed to this caricature the left paints, they're going to gravitate toward him, and they're going to gravitate against Kamala.
00:45:30.000I have to believe that God has not given up on the United States yet.
00:45:35.000God preserved your dad with that miraculous missing of the shot.
00:46:16.000David, when we talk about America first, when we say making America great again, what does that mean to you?
00:46:23.000Obviously there's things like border security and lowering costs and safety security, but on a philosophical level, what should we be striving to achieve for long-lasting prosperity as a nation?
00:46:36.000You know, I think there's been a deliberate distortion of this issue.
00:46:42.000What they try to do is... I think this is what gets under the craw of the Never Trumpers.
00:47:03.000Evangelical Christians are the strongest friends of Israel and of Judaism and Jews.
00:47:08.000And so we, the idea that we are, I just used a Biden, the idea that, the idea that America first is somehow a tricky way to go after neocons and neocons.
00:47:21.000No, America first simply puts America's interests at the forefront.
00:47:26.000It's not to the exclusion of other countries.
00:47:29.000In fact, we are the leader of freedom for the world and always have been.
00:47:34.000And if we don't preserve America, the rest of the country, the rest of the world and its liberty implodes.
00:47:41.000But I totally disagree with all these ideas that there's somehow that we want to help ourselves and the hell with the rest of the world.
00:47:51.000And to the extent that we have resources left over, we send them to other people, to other nations to the extent we can.
00:47:59.000But, we gotta guard the border, we have to protect our sovereignty, which is what your dad is trying to do, because if we don't protect our sovereignty, we don't have a nation.
00:48:49.000Has there ever been a civilization, you know, I don't want to say empire because somehow empire will be contrived as, you know, racist or whatever it may be, subjugating of others.
00:48:59.000But has there ever been a civilization that hasn't put itself first, that has actually managed to survive?
00:49:07.000No, but America has been—not at all.
00:49:10.000It's like the principle in an airplane where you get your own seatbelt, your own oxygen mask on before you take care of the kids.
00:49:17.000You have to be a vibrant nation with robust and liberty and the rule of law in order to To protect yourself and to preserve the freedom of your citizens.
00:49:30.000We're all for immigration provided it's orderly and the immigrants can come in at a time under color of law and rule of law so that they will orderly assimilate in the United States and embrace our values.
00:50:13.000I'm sure there are definitely moderate Democrat Americans.
00:50:18.000You know, maybe, maybe they differ, you know, with the conservative side on, you know, the abortion issue or a couple other things, but like, there are reasonable people out there, hardworking blue-collar Democrats, and they just don't have any representation because it's physically impossible to win.
00:50:33.000You can maybe win a local school board seat, although I think the radical left has taken most of those over too, but it's almost impossible to get to you know, a national platform in the Democrat Party without
00:51:22.000But I have one of my good Black friends in high school wouldn't come to the reunion, our high school 50th reunion, I heard, because I was going and another guy was going.
00:52:52.000Because it feels like everything the left does is designed to destroy the progress that was made, because without that strife, You know, without that hatred, they don't really have much to stand on.
00:53:06.000Because it's not like people are better off.
00:53:07.000You look at Kamala Harris, you look at Joe Biden right now, no one's better off today than they were four years ago.
00:53:12.000But if you still feel like you're a victim, maybe that's how they get you to vote for them.
00:53:36.000Capitalism, therefore, is more compassionate than socialism.
00:53:40.000But they paint us as evil, uncompassionate, racist people.
00:53:45.000We believe, by the way, in the equality of all people, equality of opportunity, and the equal dignity of every person created by God, in God's image.
00:53:55.000And yet the left patronizes and condescends to blacks, treats them like they're inferior, they gotta be protected, and they do this to all these groups, these political identity groups.
00:54:21.000It's such a, you know, the mental gymnastics that it takes for them to get to their conclusions as well as to justify their own is truly spectacular.
00:54:32.000It's spectacular and they're geniuses at strategy.
00:54:36.000And they have been doing this, getting back to your original question there, they've been doing this for decades.
00:54:41.000And again, I don't, I'm not a big conspiracy theorist, but it's now to the point where there's so many things that are coming true that I can't help it to believe these things are actually, I actually think the Marxists, the global Marxists, or whatever you want to call them, fascists, they're also fascists.
00:55:00.000They're all about power and telling people what to do and eliminating our freedoms through the administrative state, through global coercion, through this environmentalist hoax.
00:55:10.000But they sow chaos, and you can look at Soros and these other people globally, the World Economic Forum.
00:55:17.000This is real stuff where they want us to quit making babies.
00:55:22.000They're anti-life across the board, whether it's abortion or not reproducing.
00:55:30.000And killing our domestic energy so that we can have prosperity and our lifestyle and prosperity are destroyed.
00:55:39.000These people are so corrupt, so they're sowing chaos throughout through the funding, international funding, their own funding.
00:55:45.000Because it undermines these calls of racism and this promotion of DEI and all the rest.
00:56:39.000I mean, the cancel culture thing, it doesn't exist the same way.
00:56:42.000You know, words that were verboten, you know, that were part of our, you know, I mean, we're maybe a little different in age, but that would have been common parts of our vernacular.
00:56:51.000You know, two years ago, you wouldn't be able to be seen in polite society if you said them.
00:56:56.000Now they're like, they're being used in everyday language, in discourse again, because they didn't mean, you know, again, the thing that they're interpreted to mean for convenience.
00:57:08.000And yet, to your point about being unafraid, they've shown that even the most powerful man in the world, you know, my father as President of the United States, they can cancel him.
00:57:18.000They can handle all their arrows, all their slings on one guy and they can cancel him if they get reasonable Americans.
00:57:25.000I'm not saying right or left, but certainly all the conservatives get it.
00:57:29.000I imagine there's a bunch of independents that are also sick of this stuff and there's probably some of those moderate dems in Iowa and Michigan and Wisconsin that are like, You know, is the party of, you know, the squad, you know, are those really my Democrat values?
00:57:45.000And if those people band together and call this stuff out and become unafraid, I think there's no stopping us.
00:57:54.000I agree with that and I want to repeat something or reiterate something I said a minute ago.
00:57:58.000It's not just that there are a lot of people who realize that insanity is insanity and what they're doing is not normal.
00:58:05.000When Sarah Huckabee Sanders gave her speech in response to the State of the Union a few years ago and she talked about crazy versus normal.
00:58:15.000But I want to repeat this because I don't want us to underestimate the force of it.
00:58:21.000They are able to have these people accept, I mean, their people accept this insanity because they've been trained, indoctrinated to believe that the alternative is even worse than the evil they're promoting.
00:58:35.000And the alternative is Donald Trump, and they've depicted him as so evil.
00:58:43.000The way they have lied to take his quotes out of context and to make him look like the crazy tyrant that he is not is abhorrent.
00:58:54.000But I'm saying we need to counter that, not affirmatively, but by letting your dad keep being who he is and keep exposing his real, unthreatening self.
01:00:52.000I mean, I could see a lot of people, you know, A lot of sane people say, you know, hey, well, if I had the chance to go back and literally kill Hitler, like, before he did the unspeakable things that he did, like, I have a moral obligation to do that, don't I?
01:01:10.000Of course they caused that, but no one's learned from that.
01:01:16.000There's been no even acknowledgement that, of course, they did that.
01:01:20.000And again, that all of the things that they've been gaslighting the American public with for the last decade have actually just been all lies.
01:01:27.000It's not like there's been any truth to it.
01:01:28.000The reality is, I don't think anyone could, with a straight face, say that they're better off now than they were four years ago under Trump.
01:02:26.000We're not throwing them off, you know, social media platforms.
01:02:29.000We're certainly not jailing our political opposition or shooting at them.
01:02:33.000We're not doing those things and yet the people screaming most about fascism...
01:02:37.000I mean, they're acting kind of like the brownshirts back in the day.
01:02:40.000I mean, it doesn't seem like there's much light between, you know, the fascists of the, let's call it, you know, the late 30s in Germany and today's left.
01:02:50.000It's, you know, it sort of feels like they're one in the same.
01:02:53.000Like, they keep using that word fascism, but it's as though they don't even know what it means because the irony that their behavior exemplifies that of the fascists shouldn't be lost on anyone.
01:04:35.000Oh, there's a lot of hate, but I block a lot of those people.
01:04:38.000My point is, Rush early on saw something in your dad, and he said it a million times, and I think that's why he gravitated toward him so early.
01:04:47.000He could relate to him because Your dad has a bond with his supporters that is unbreakable.
01:04:55.000The only way he could break it is if he voluntarily broke it.
01:05:36.000I mean, I know there were a bunch of events that Rush did with my father, and the amount of people that reached out to me that just wanted to get there with me so that they could have a chance to meet, you know, their hero, Rush Limbaugh.
01:05:50.000So, no, they had a similar connection, and they spoke a similar way, which is sort of a, you know, tough but fair.
01:05:56.000Uh, you may not always like it, but like it's sort of hard to argue with it.
01:05:59.000And like, I, I sort of, you know, I liken my father, some of the policies, some of his commentary, sort of like, you know, there were in life, you know, sometimes you always needed like the disciplinarian parent to kind of kick you in the ass and, uh, you know, get, get you back on track.
01:06:14.000maybe hurt your feelings a little bit, but in the end, it was like, oh no, we needed that.
01:06:19.000We needed that boot in the ass to get back on the right track.
01:06:23.000And I think they both sort of spoke that way, which was they can be compassionate.
01:06:26.000I think, I will say, perhaps one of my father's biggest political liabilities
01:06:31.000is he's not willing to actually pander with empathy, which he actually has,
01:06:36.000because there's a reason that people have worked for him for four decades.
01:06:40.000So he has that thing, but he thinks it's hard to then go negotiate with Kim Jong-un or whatever it may be if he's being overly friendly on TV.
01:06:48.000It's an old school mentality, but he has those things.
01:06:51.000But he's also willing to have those hard conversations that he's not just going to pander to you.
01:06:58.000You may not like it, but in the end, he's usually probably right.
01:07:01.000You know, ironically, something that Elon Musk's conversation revealed about your dad's authenticity.
01:07:10.000He's sitting there, he's been criticized for becoming friends with these dictators, Putin and Kim Jong Un, and oh yeah, so he's obviously in bed with them.
01:07:22.000He knows he's been accused of that, and yet he's willing to say it right to our faces and say, but that doesn't keep me from holding them accountable.
01:08:01.000The morons in our press that wouldn't know the first thing about, you know, actual statesmanship or making a deal or like that understanding, you know, they happily blow it up on a world stage.
01:08:12.000And yet, when something actually goes wrong, When the proverbial shit hits the fan, you have to be able to make that phone call.
01:08:21.000And if you're just the guy that's gonna lie for the quick little soundbite, for the little blurb, for the Trump dunks on Putin on world stage...
01:08:35.000So instead he says, hey, I respect the guy, he's a... It doesn't mean he doesn't understand that the guy's got, you know, dictatorial tendencies, that he's... It doesn't mean he thinks he's a good guy.
01:08:43.000He understands him, and he knows it serves him no purpose to crap on him on a world stage, because when things do ultimately go wrong, as they have in the last few years, we see that right now, That line of communication is severed forever.
01:08:57.000So instead, he does the right thing, the hard thing to do, which is to get crapped on by his own people, but to get crapped on by the world, to be crapped on by the press, to make sure that for the remaining, whatever it was, two years, year and a half of his term, that lifeline, if things ever went really wrong, was ready and available.
01:09:20.000That's being an actual leader, you know, kowtowing to, you know, a bunch of low IQ morons in the press who just, you know, at this point they're, you know, propagandists for the regime, incapable of, you know, original thought.
01:09:32.000Just giving them what they want, that does no one any good whatsoever.
01:09:38.000But there's a consequence to not doing that.
01:09:40.000And he was willing to face those consequences.
01:09:42.000He was willing to take that ridicule and the hate and the this to make sure he was doing what was right for the American people.
01:09:48.000And I think that's the ultimate form of statesmanship.
01:09:51.000It is, and I can relate to this too in a way, because some of what I do for a living is negotiate contracts, and some clients want you to be a hard-ass.
01:09:59.000They think that this posturing is what equals good negotiation, and I think what equals good negotiation is two things.
01:10:06.000One, having a level of discernment where you can, an insight where you can read what the other side's thinking, and that comes with being a real person like your dad is, and the second thing is Building up their trust in you by being authentic.
01:10:20.000And you can be friendly and you should be friendly.
01:10:23.000I'm friendly with all the lawyers I deal with.
01:10:24.000If I weren't friendly, I wouldn't even get... They would hurt my clients to spite me.
01:10:30.000So I'm making your point on a first-hand level, not about me, but just because I can understand that.
01:10:35.000Saying you like the other side, the representative of the other side, doesn't mean you'll sell your client out.
01:10:41.000It's an avenue to getting what's best for your client or your country.
01:10:47.000To change tracks a little bit, David, you've mentioned God and Godlessness a few times in this talk.
01:10:56.000I guess you've written several books obviously recently on Christianity and faith.
01:11:00.000How do politics and faith, how do they intersect with you?
01:11:04.000I know my father's been attacked again by the media for having You know, strong evangelical support because they say, well, how could the, you know, the brash billionaire from New York, how could he resonate or connect with evangelicals?
01:11:16.000But, you know, in places like Missouri and Iowa and stuff, why do you think he's able to connect so well with those guys?
01:11:40.000I evolved myself on your dad and my opinion of him.
01:11:43.000I didn't think, when he first came out, I thought he would be more of a New York liberal and that he really wasn't that much into politics and all that, although I'd heard him speak about politics before.
01:11:55.000I think what happened to him, and I could be wrong and you don't have to confirm it or not, but I think that once he got out of his business mode and started campaigning and interacting with people, he realized that the New York liberals weren't the good guys.
01:12:12.000I'm not sure he thought they were in the first place, but he certainly learned early on in his campaigning That the conservative Christians were actually the good guys.
01:12:21.000He may not have been exposed to them that much, and they were loyal, and they cared about things, and they cared about the country, and he'd been, I think, misled by some of this indoctrination about liberalism before.
01:12:33.000I could be wrong, but my point is, if he wasn't a conservative before, as strong a conservative as he is now, he became one, and it was authentic.
01:12:43.000He actually, I think, transformed into and it had a transformation in terms of his feelings for
01:12:49.000people and his belief in people in different sites. But I think part of it, though, is
01:12:53.000America, to your question, America is founded on Christian principles. I don't care what the naysayers,
01:12:58.000the secular humanists say, it is, it was. And we have to promote, vigorously promote
01:13:04.000Christian values and religious liberty to restore the liberties we have, the ordered liberty we
01:13:13.000have in America. Evangelical Christians realize that. They realize that Donald Trump supports the
01:13:20.000values, even Even if they don't think, even if some of them believe he did some of those terrible things he's accused of, they believe he authentically supports evangelical values and the values that, the things that have made America the greatest nation in the history of the world, and they can sense that he's real.
01:13:36.000I keep going back to the authenticity.
01:13:38.000I wrote a book early on, like 2004-2005, called Persecution, about how the left This is 2014 that was going after Christianity and demonizing Christians and going after our religious liberty.
01:15:20.000Donald Trump stands against these institutions that are going after all of us and our values.
01:15:27.000Secular humanism is now dominant in our culture because they've systematically taken over our education system, Hollywood, the media, big tech.
01:15:36.000Trump really, I'm not saying he's some kind of savior or hero, but he is, we need a leader that'll stand up unafraid, to your term again, unapologetically against those things and for the things we believe in.
01:16:08.000You have one administration that you've already lived under and you had another administration that you've already lived under and they're both running again.
01:16:15.000So Kamala Harris is flip-flopping on all of her policies.
01:16:18.000So which one are you actually going to get?
01:16:20.000Does anyone actually think You know, when she's praising biodynamics and she's praising everything, does anyone think she's going to actually change and do the opposite of everything that she's done and she's taken credit for for the last few years?
01:16:31.000But your point's an interesting one, because, you know, prior to COVID, I used to think, you know, America and the UK and Ireland and Australia and Canada and New Zealand, like, we're all sort of, you know, freedom countries, you know, it's still...
01:16:46.000You know, and yet I'm looking at people in the UK now, you know, getting two-year jail sentences for misgendering someone.
01:16:52.000I saw that crazy thing, you know, a week or two ago from, you know, the head of the, you know, London, you know, or UK, you know, law enforcement.
01:17:00.000They're going to try to extradite Americans who violate their, you know, and I don't mean hate speech.
01:17:06.000I mean, like, Common social media diatribe.
01:17:10.000I'm seeing, you know, people in England, you know, cops breaking into people's homes for Facebook posts because, well, you know, I said I don't like these roving migrant gangs beating the shit out of the people in my hometown.
01:17:22.000You know, those people go to jail for two years and the people who are actually doing the beating in the streets and curb stomping people, well, you know, they're immune from anything because, you know, God forbid we offend them.
01:17:35.000It's scary because if we don't think we're going there as a country in America, we have not been paying attention, David.
01:17:43.000And that's really scary because it's like we're not just allowing it to happen, but we seem to be welcoming our own demise, or at least the demise of everything we believed in as a country, our liberties, our freedoms, our constitution, and the future of our children.
01:17:59.000Not just welcoming it, orchestrating it.
01:18:02.000That's what's happening at the border.
01:18:04.000They're bringing in foreign criminals, terrorists, fentanyl, killing people, knowing it's happening, and then flying people over who have nothing.
01:18:15.000But hey, how many Chinese nationals who probably work for the CCP are there in this country now?
01:20:25.000He stood up to their abuses of the judicial system against him.
01:20:30.000The other thing he's done is, unlike anyone else, he has appointed sufficient number of originalist justices Who actually reversed a 50-year precedent, albeit how terrible it was, Roe v. Wade, in the Dobbs case.
01:20:44.000I never thought that would get reversed.
01:20:47.000And boy, we're seeing the left going absolutely crazy as a result of the ballot.
01:20:53.000The prerogative has now been restored to the states.
01:20:55.000That's what everybody wanted, other than the left.
01:20:57.000They wanted to mandate the legality of abortion nationally, and that's what they tried to do judicially.
01:21:03.000Our system depends on a vigorous impartial judicial branch.
01:21:09.000We have to be, blind justice has to be the case.
01:21:12.000The left views the third branch as another political branch to legislate laws they can't get done through democratically elected branches of government.
01:21:27.000So they get justices to contort the Constitution to allow them to implement policies that they can't get voted on and enacted by the people.
01:21:40.000The judiciary is another legislative body for this.
01:21:42.000There's no magic solutions in response to your question.
01:21:46.000But we have to keep appointing originalist justices and judges who believe in the rule of law, who believe in the Constitution as written, who believe in its original meaning, original intent.
01:21:58.000And your dad has been unapologetic in doing that.
01:22:01.000I mean, we also have to have a president, a chief executive, who will send a signal to the courts
01:22:07.000and to the executive branch throughout, the law enforcement branch throughout the country,
01:22:12.000that they will respect the orders of the court and they will implement the law
01:22:34.000And again, with the media stacked against us, we're not just up against the Democrat machine, David, but also the media machine.
01:22:45.000I think, honestly, your brother Rush was probably the best voice and warrior against them for arguably decades. I think you recently tweeted that you
01:22:58.000know, Rush was the most important figure in the last 40 years to stand up against this
01:23:02.000liberal insanity. He was honestly the tip of the spear. If you have any ideas, the abuse he
01:23:07.000endured for America, and I know that Rush would appreciate Elon Musk for standing in the breach.
01:23:15.000I mean, you know, talk about that a little bit, because there is sort of an interesting new alliance on the right standing up against censorship.
01:23:22.000I mean, Elon Musk himself said that he's like, I'm not.
01:23:26.000I was probably a moderate liberal most of my life, a moderate Democrat.
01:23:30.000And yet I see where the party is going.
01:23:41.000Hopefully others will follow and they'll get it because he understands where this is all going.
01:23:47.000Yeah, and I totally agree with that, and I've written about that, as you said, I've tweeted about it, that Rush did, for 30 some odd years, say what he believed, and he took unbelievable heat from the media, and they lied, media matters, they lied about him, and everybody lied, had all these things demonizing him, and he never quit, he never quit, and it's so, again, analogous to what your dad has done.
01:24:13.000Who could have, including myself, who would not have folded?
01:24:16.000Who would not have caved after being prosecuted criminally by all these who can put you literally in jail?
01:24:23.000They're still going to try to do that.
01:24:25.000And he never backed down and he continues to fight.
01:24:49.000We've got various other outlets, social media, Twitter, Facebook, Instagram.
01:24:56.000And so there's so many people out there trying to get the message out.
01:25:00.000But I think one thing that concerns me, I think, you know, the free press is a disinfectant.
01:25:07.000You put a light on falsehood and on the truth, and people will go for the truth.
01:25:13.000And that's why the left wants to suppress the truth, because they know if the truth comes out, specifically about Communist policies, contrasted with your dad's, we'll win in a landslide.
01:26:27.000I mean, as someone who was just close to it from the beginning.
01:26:31.000I do think that's happening with Social Media X, Truth Social, the rest, where they're able in real time to call BS on the media's fact-checking, which of course means just bias implementation.
01:26:46.000And instantly report the news, and we see it in real time.
01:26:49.000And then I keep, I harken back to this, but it's so important that Elon was able to bring a conversation with your dad to millions upon, maybe hundreds of millions of viewers after the tape is, the video is played.
01:27:02.000And that's got to be, you're able to reach more people through that than you are through the traditional means of media.
01:27:12.000But I think one thing in terms of what we have to look out for, and you may or may not agree with this, as being along my brother's side for all those years, all those decades, and watching what he did to pioneer all this and to literally create a new genre, conservative talk radio, which has been instrumental in In so much of preserving so much of America's values and even giving rise to the possibility that somebody like your dad could do what he's done for us.
01:27:43.000But I think there's a danger in egotism on our side.
01:27:48.000I see a lot of these people, a lot of conservative stars, out there cutting each other's throats and being about themselves rather than being about the movement and what's good for America.
01:29:38.000That it cannot be anything other than spiritual level, almost demonic, where you've got people not just reluctantly saying, I want abortion in these three extreme circumstances or these exceptions, but we're glorifying the murder of babies.
01:29:55.000We're glorifying it, and we create anything we can do to destroy The truth of the Bible, God created man and woman.
01:30:53.000Every election is the most important because we're increasingly gravitating towards socialism because the left is relentless towards godless Marxism and socialism.
01:31:03.000And every time you compromise with the left, which they always advocate, they move the ball a little further to the left.
01:31:27.000And you're right about sort of, you know, demonic presence.
01:31:31.000You don't have to look any further than, you know, half the stuff that comes out on TV these days or the opening and closing ceremonies of the Olympics.
01:31:37.000I mean, they're not even hiding it anymore.
01:31:40.000They're just right in your face about it.
01:31:43.000And, you know, again, I don't think that gets better from here.
01:31:46.000It's not like, okay, we allowed that to happen.
01:31:49.000No, they, they keep pushing that boundary.
01:31:51.000They keep moving that ball forward and you know, it's a death by a thousand cuts.
01:31:55.000There's no stopping that unless we really put an end to it.
01:31:58.000But one, yes, but one good thing about this, back to the ironies of our times, Satan profits by deceiving people as to who he is.
01:32:08.000Just like you said, he's now come out into the open.
01:32:11.000His, his, Proselytes have now come out in the open in the French Olympics and the rest of it and all the gender insanity in the lawlessness in the city that in people we see these videos going through and are allowing people to steal up to $1,000 before their arrest.
01:32:27.000Insane evil stuff and we got to call it out.
01:32:30.000But the fact that the left has exposed itself like I I didn't hope it would do, but I thought was inevitable when I wrote that the last book political book and rush has been predicting it forever.
01:32:42.000The fact that they've exposed themselves, I think, is ironically causing the sleeping giant to wake up.
01:33:06.000David, as a closing thought, I'd like to hear more about your thoughts simply on the 2024 race.
01:33:13.000What do you think the most effective messages and strategies are there?
01:33:18.000What are the things we've got to keep going on?
01:33:19.000What are the things perhaps we're not doing?
01:33:21.000What advice would you give to my father to ultimately deliver a victory in November?
01:33:27.000Well, I disagree with these people who say you can't walk and chew gum at the same time and that when he goes after people that he's getting off message.
01:33:36.000If you listen to his speech or if you listen to his conversation with Elon Musk, that was policy rich.
01:33:41.000And he remembered his own record and he talked about prospectively.
01:33:46.000I do think the one thing he shouldn't do too much of I agree with you, but you know, you can't teach an old dog new tricks.
01:33:54.000we should look forward, because everybody that needs to know now knows about it.
01:35:48.000And, you know, you say it enough and people who aren't paying attention and people who get a couple minutes of news a day because they're busy trying to feed their families, understandably.
01:35:56.000Oh, well, I guess there must be something to it.
01:36:36.000Now, if someone can bring value and, you know, or came from, you know, a communist country like, you know, Cuba or Venezuela, you know, those people don't get expedited citizenship because they won't vote for what they assume from.
01:36:46.000But, you know, if you come here and you're going to be a permanent, you know, government dependent, you'll vote Democrat.
01:36:50.000And so they'll make sure that those are expedited and they get to the front of the line and you get to pay for them and you have the privilege of paying for yourself, your children, and theirs.
01:37:02.000Anybody against voter ID is not for election integrity.
01:37:07.000That's the first thing you need to know.
01:37:08.000Of course they have the mindset they're going to cheat.
01:37:09.000They have a mindset that they'll do anything they can to break the laws to get their end result.
01:37:15.000But I want to ask you this, and you obviously don't want to reveal any confidential stuff, I see this stuff on Twitter, these people wringing their hands about, we don't have a ground game.
01:37:45.000Because of some of the rules changes, we're working with other groups that are picking up some of that slack that would have normally come from the RNC.
01:37:54.000The people who are actually making the most noise about that, frankly, are, you know, back to the grifters.
01:37:58.000They're the grifters on the conservative side that don't have a part of this campaign.
01:38:01.000And so what they're doing, you know, they're either not good.
01:38:03.000They've either proven to be leakers or disloyal or whatever it may be.
01:38:08.000But they're the people that want to profit off of this.
01:38:10.000These are the people that, you know, take 90 cents of an ad buy and 10 cents actually goes to the cause.
01:38:16.000So those are the people making a lot of noise.
01:38:18.000They want to sow discord because they're either, you know, they either want a role or they want to be able to continue their grift.
01:38:25.000So I see where it's coming from because, you know, I'm just intimately involved in all of these things.
01:38:29.000So I just want to show, like, this is by far, as far as I'm concerned, and I was there probably more than anyone in 16, As much as anyone in 20.
01:38:36.000And now, I mean, I think as far as I'm concerned, this is by far the best overall operation.
01:38:42.000It's just being done differently because you're able to do it differently.
01:39:17.000They would love the America First movement to die because they want to go back to the old ways because that's the only place that they can kind of perpetuate their grift.
01:39:25.000Now, of course, it gets a lot of undue coverage because the media, their lackeys, big tech, they're more than happy to cover, you know, fake discord and, you know, it's a crisis.
01:39:37.000They're more than happy to cover that as a negative way of, you know, effectively hurting Trump.
01:39:42.000I don't, there's, as far as I'm concerned, there's nothing to it.
