Triggered - Donald Trump Jr - Don JR on the Ground in East Palestine + Interview With Kyle Rittenhouse | TRIGGERED Ep. 10

00:00:00.000 you you

00:00:30.000 Guys, welcome back to another episode of Triggered.

00:00:35.000 I'm really excited about this one.

00:00:38.000 First, our guest tonight is going to be Kyle Rittenhouse.

00:00:42.000 Obviously, you know who Kyle is.

00:00:44.000 Great kid. Got put through the torture chamber by the media, by the radical left, by the anti-gun groups for defending himself and exercising his Second Amendment rights.

00:00:58.000 Now he's back in the news as the family of one of the people he shot and another one went in total self-defense.

00:01:06.000 again, acquitted by a jury, despite the attempts at, frankly, witness tampering and jury tampering

00:01:13.000 that you saw from the media, trailing a jury, trying to, in my opinion, intimidate them

00:01:18.000 into a decision.

00:01:19.000 He was acquitted, but now the lawsuits will continue.

00:01:23.000 We're going to hear from Kyle.

00:01:24.000 We're going to hear who was with him, who was not with him, who left him in the dust.

00:01:29.000 It's an amazing story.

00:01:31.000 You can learn how to support him.

00:01:32.000 You can learn who was actually stepping up in the Second Amendment space.

00:01:36.000 I think that's really going to be important.

00:01:39.000 But what was really awesome was I got to go with my father to East Palestine, Ohio.

00:01:46.000 So before we get to Kyle, I want to tell that story because it was awesome.

00:01:51.000 It's actually right now, Wednesday night.

00:01:55.000 I just got back home after this visit.

00:01:59.000 I had to tell this story now and it was incredible.

00:02:04.000 We woke up, we got on Trump Force One, we left a beautiful 85 degree weather in Florida, went to 32 degree freezing rain.

00:02:14.000 In East Palestine, and it was absolutely incredible, man.

00:02:20.000 It's moments like the one I witnessed today, earlier today, that really make me realize.

00:02:29.000 Now again, this is airing Thursday night, so this is late Wednesday night.

00:02:32.000 I just got home, just so you guys are clear.

00:02:34.000 But I wanted to get down to the intro into this while it's still fresh in my mind and before we talk to Kyle.

00:02:42.000 It was absolutely awesome, man.

00:02:46.000 This is why my father did this to begin with.

00:02:51.000 The people of East Palestine, Ohio, just Good, hardworking, God-fearing Americans.

00:02:59.000 And that's what we're doing this for.

00:03:01.000 They've been left in the dust by their government.

00:03:04.000 It's been 19 days.

00:03:07.000 Joe Biden, Pete Buttigieg, you know, our illustrious transportation secretary. 0.97

00:03:12.000 Again, he's the only transportation secretary because he was gay and he ran for president for no real reason other than he was gay, I guess. 0.71

00:03:18.000 And because he didn't win, they had to give him the consolation prize because I guess it's, you know, it was 2020 and that's what you have to do these days.

00:03:28.000 Unfortunately, the results you get from making decisions like that are the results you're seeing out of Pete Buttigieg and the transportation Administration that he oversees.

00:03:42.000 You saw the supply chain crisis.

00:03:44.000 You saw, you know, the railroad strike stuff going on.

00:03:48.000 You see racist roads.

00:03:51.000 It's a shame that there's white construction workers working. 1.00

00:03:55.000 Obviously, our Chernobyl, a toxic, a toxic trail derailment, along with like nine others this week, it feels like, you know, all under his watch.

00:04:05.000 But that's okay. He wants to take some personal time.

00:04:08.000 You know, it's been 20 days.

00:04:09.000 He hasn't had a chance to go to East Palestine, but he's taking some personal time. 0.91

00:04:15.000 He really deserves that because he's working so hard, apparently doing nothing other than race baiting and the usual crap that you get from the left these days.

00:04:23.000 So it was really awesome to actually land in East Palestine with a leader.

00:04:28.000 Someone who doesn't need this job.

00:04:31.000 Someone whose job it wasn't the turn of.

00:04:33.000 Someone who, unlike Pete, didn't get the job because he checked the box.

00:04:37.000 Right? But like a real leader, and that leader was Donald Trump.

00:04:41.000 And I saw him at his best.

00:04:43.000 I saw, you know, people turning out in droves.

00:04:47.000 Again, 32 degree cold rain out there because they just wanted someone to acknowledge their existence, to not forget about them, to not leave them in the lurch, in the unknown.

00:05:01.000 I mean, we've talked about it already, but you know, Donald Trump just announcing that he was going to go.

00:05:06.000 FEMA, who wrote the letter.

00:05:08.000 You don't qualify, yada, yada, yada.

00:05:10.000 You get nothing. Remember?

00:05:12.000 You know, Joe Biden's going to East Palestine.

00:05:14.000 Just kidding. Screw you guys. 0.97

00:05:16.000 He's busy giving trillions of dollars of taxpayer money away to corrupt regimes in Ukraine, paying back his buddy at big war in the US, and creating the next oligarch class of rich billionaires in the Ukraine. 0.97

00:05:31.000 You know, he's there doing that.

00:05:32.000 Donald Trump said, you know what, maybe the only way to get action is actually, maybe if I go.

00:05:37.000 All of a sudden he announces that he's going in with it.

00:05:39.000 Now, FEMA, we have reconsidered.

00:05:43.000 On second thought, we're going to act and we're going to actually take care of American citizens for a change.

00:05:49.000 I know that's shocking.

00:05:51.000 I know that's not customary.

00:05:54.000 I know that's unheard of.

00:05:56.000 But, you know, that happened.

00:05:59.000 And, you know, I got a little bit of, I sort of took some video along the way.

00:06:02.000 So I apologize that this isn't professionally done.

00:06:06.000 It was just something I was like, A, I'm so for him doing this because these are the people he always wanted to represent, the forgotten man and woman.

00:06:14.000 And it doesn't stand out any better than today.

00:06:18.000 Where these hard-working Americans were the forgotten man and woman, yet again, for almost three weeks.

00:06:26.000 Just, eh, whatever, we're not gonna deal with that, we got other things, and the media's not gonna criticize me because I'm gay and, you know, they love our liberal agenda, and I'm gonna be president even though I haven't done anything.

00:06:36.000 I'm Pete Buttigieg, Pothole Pete.

00:06:38.000 You know, it's just different.

00:06:41.000 It's just different. So seeing the love from the people And again, I don't even want to compare my experience to, you know, what they've gone through, but, you know, let's just say it was a lot easier being a real estate developer from New York City, getting invited to the cool person party, not having to deal with the, you know, the animals on the left and the media and all of the nonsense that we've put up with for the last few years.

00:07:03.000 That's nothing compared to what the people of East Palestine have gone through and, you know, seeing fish Turn up dead in their rivers and ponds and chickens dropping dead and packs of dogs doing the same thing.

00:07:16.000 I mean, not knowing if that's affecting your children or your families or your homes.

00:07:21.000 We're talking with the fire chief there, you know, and just one of his trucks just started corroding that was dealing with the fire from the toxic fumes at the time.

00:07:31.000 Literally started, like, they had to order a new one.

00:07:34.000 That much damage it took on that rapidly. 0.92

00:07:37.000 So being there with just the salt of the earth people, seeing their appreciation, man, it makes all of the bullshit that we've dealt with, makes it just all worth it, man. 0.73

00:07:52.000 That's why we're doing it for those people.

00:07:54.000 Seeing the love that they have for my father, the appreciation that they have for someone who just, just show up for them, please, just like, just...

00:08:05.000 Wow, he got him to do something.

00:08:07.000 That's amazing. Guys like John Roark from Blue Line Moving are good friends up here who literally drove truckloads, took time off from his business and trucks out of his business to bring up Trump water and cleaning supplies to donate to these people.

00:08:24.000 I mean, this is what America's all about.

00:08:26.000 This is what we did this for.

00:08:29.000 And if you ask the media or the left, these people don't exist or shouldn't.

00:08:33.000 They're not. Special because they wanted to change someone's children's gender. 0.99

00:08:39.000 These are just people that go to work and want to support families and do all those crazy things.

00:08:46.000 Take care of their kids.

00:08:48.000 Oh my god! It's so awesome to see it.

00:08:54.000 It was DJT at his best.

00:08:55.000 In some of the clips, maybe I'll throw in The former president of the United States, my dad, just sitting there at McDonald's like, hey guys, what's on the special today?

00:09:06.000 Because they did a Trump special for Wednesday and he bought all the first responders, the police and the firemen who did all this stuff, just bought them all at McDonald's and just watching him joke with the people, be like...

00:09:17.000 Guys, there's no one in this McDonald's that understands and knows the McDonald's menu better than Donald Trump.

00:09:23.000 And by the way, 100% accurate.

00:09:27.000 No one knows it better.

00:09:29.000 No one probably eats more of it per capita than Donald Trump.

00:09:37.000 It was just great.

00:09:38.000 But watching him, you know, go through with all the police and the fire chiefs and the first responders, hearing about it, talking, giving the press conference and just bringing some much needed love and attention.

00:09:51.000 And man, that's all these people want.

00:09:53.000 And honestly, they deserve it.

00:09:56.000 You had Congressman Johnson was there.

00:09:58.000 My good friend, Ohio Senator J.D. Vance.

00:10:01.000 How are those guys – they only sort of saw it national level or certainly highest – they're there, but where's the Biden administration?

00:10:11.000 J.D. Vance was great meeting with the people.

00:10:13.000 He's going to be pushing for things to make sure they get – What they need.

00:10:18.000 And it feels like everyone else in the world who doesn't pay our taxes, they're getting what they need.

00:10:23.000 Remember, Joe Biden's going to pay for the pensions of the people in Ukraine who've been displaced.

00:10:27.000 We're going to pay their pensions.

00:10:28.000 What about the people in East Palestine?

00:10:30.000 What about like Americans with like unfunded pension liability when their companies go, we don't care about them. 0.98

00:10:38.000 You know? There were no fake air raid sirens during Trump's visit in East Palestine.

00:10:44.000 There was probably more danger there given the chemicals around to the people still and my father than there ever was for Joe Biden in Kiev.

00:10:53.000 Otherwise, he wouldn't have been there.

00:10:54.000 I can assure you I understand how that works.

00:10:56.000 But that didn't stop him from putting up a fake air raid siren right as he's walking down the street when even the CNN reporter, when even the CNN reporter was like, Yeah, that's weird.

00:11:05.000 I've been here for five days. We haven't heard a single air raid siren.

00:11:08.000 I wonder what's going on.

00:11:10.000 Maybe it's all a lie, folks.

00:11:13.000 Right? You know?

00:11:15.000 They lied to you about lockdowns.

00:11:17.000 They lied to you about COVID. They lied to you about Russia, Russia, Russia.

00:11:21.000 You don't think they're lying to you about this?

00:11:23.000 Just like magically, they're all upset that January 6th videos are coming out.

00:11:27.000 And in one day, we found all sorts of contradictory evidence.

00:11:31.000 Strange. The Democrats never leaked that.

00:11:33.000 Huh, they lied to us about everything for the last six years, but I'm sure they're telling the truth about that one, folks, right?

00:11:40.000 So, again, for me, an honor just to be a fly on the wall, just to be able to see these people shake their hands.

00:11:52.000 It's just, that's the, frankly, it's probably the only good part about having gotten into politics, you know, just seeing the difference that you make for real people.

00:12:04.000 Showing them that there's hope that they still have some representation.

00:12:07.000 But listen, check it out for yourself.

00:12:10.000 Put together a little montage of just my experience throughout the day.

00:12:15.000 Then we'll get back and we'll be talking with Kyle Rittenhouse and I think you guys will really like it.

00:12:22.000 Well, guys, as we said earlier, if our leaders won't do the work they're elected to do, someone's going to have to step up and fill that void.

00:12:32.000 I'm getting ready to board Trump Force One.

00:12:35.000 We're going to East Palestine, Ohio.

00:12:37.000 We're going to be meeting with the people over there.

00:12:40.000 We're going to keep doing what we're doing.

00:12:44.000 Always did this for the American people.

00:12:46.000 He got involved for the American people.

00:12:48.000 He needed this job like a hole in the head.

00:12:51.000 But again, if our leaders refuse to step up, someone's going to have to step up and fill that void.

00:12:57.000 So we're heading to Ohio.

00:12:59.000 Glad it seems like that drove FEMA finally into action after saying they weren't going to do anything.

00:13:05.000 That's a big step in and of itself, but we got to keep doing this.

00:13:10.000 We got to take care of our people, not the people of Ukraine. 1.00

00:13:14.000 We don't have to worry about their pensions.

00:13:16.000 We got to worry about the people right here in America.

00:13:20.000 And again, That's why we got into this in the first place.

00:13:25.000 It's why we're still here.

00:13:27.000 And until someone else steps up who's willing to actually do that, someone's going to have to fill that void.

00:13:32.000 So, welcome aboard Trump Force One, folks.

00:13:36.000 Okay, guys. Give you a little tour of Trump Force One, just so when people understand...

00:13:43.000 Walking away from some of this lifestyle to deal with politics, to deal with the presidency.

00:13:47.000 You've seen Mar-a-Lago, you've seen all of that.

00:13:49.000 It wasn't so bad before, but I think it shows exactly why My father got into this in the first place.

00:13:58.000 You can have this perspective, you can live this way and still understand that the hard-working men and women of America have been left behind.

00:14:07.000 They've been forgotten by our leaders.

00:14:10.000 Honestly, the news of the day, every day, We see more and more of that.

00:14:15.000 The great example, obviously, is Joe Biden visiting Ukraine, promising, you know, probably trillions more in a proxy war with a nuclear power.

00:14:23.000 Russia pulls out of the arms treaty to not to regulate the amount of nuclear weapons that can be deployed.

00:14:29.000 Like, you know, what could go wrong?

00:14:31.000 With a brilliant mind like Joe Biden leading the charge, what could possibly go wrong?

00:14:35.000 That's why someone who's actually experienced real success out of politics, not so easy to walk away from that.

00:14:41.000 Not so easy to walk away from that knowing exactly what happens when you get to the swamp.

00:14:46.000 And I think part of what they tried to do, my father, is to prevent other great minds, other great leaders, other people who've been successful in things outside of just bureaucracy and nonsense, And I think that's a really important thing to remember.

00:15:00.000 So maybe I'll take you on a quick tour of Trump Force One before we get underway.

00:15:04.000 Not exactly a beautiful day here in Ohio, but again, if this is what it takes to get our leaders to act, we're happy to do it.

00:15:12.000 It's just awesome to be on the ground here and meet with some real Americans.

00:15:20.000 What's going on guys? Here with my good buddy and incredible new senator from the state of Ohio, J.D. Vance.

00:15:27.000 We're in East Palestine. He's looking after his constituents, doing an incredible job.

00:15:31.000 What do you think, J.D.? Well, look, man, we're going to stay on top of the EPA, Norfolk Southern, to clean up this community.

00:15:37.000 Unfortunately, the federal government wasn't doing a whole lot.

00:15:40.000 And then this guy and his dad came to town, put a lot of pressure on the local or the federal authorities to actually get their asses Move in and fix this community.

00:15:49.000 I think it's a great thing, but we can't forget about these people.

00:15:51.000 We're going to have to stay on top of this issue for the long term.

00:15:54.000 We're on it, so thanks for all you're doing, man.

00:15:55.000 It's great.

00:15:56.000 And we're going to have him on the podcast pretty soon too, because that'll bring some fire.

00:16:00.000 What do you make it about Biden not showing up, you showing up before he did?

00:16:14.000 Thank you so much for coming.

00:16:17.000 Thank you so much.

00:16:20.000 Trump, take a picture of my food.

00:16:22.000 You want a picture?

00:16:24.000 There he is.

00:16:25.000 Wouldn't be a Trump campaign stop without it.

00:16:28.000 Is everybody willing to accept?

00:16:33.000 Free food. I'll take care of it.

00:16:36.000 All right? We're going to take care of it.

00:16:38.000 And for the firehouse, all the guys in the firehouse, we're going to send it to them.

00:16:42.000 Free food, okay? So I know this menu better than you do.

00:16:50.000 They probably know it better than anybody would.

00:16:58.000 Oh, I like this guy.

00:17:00.000 He's a big fan. Come in, take a look at me.

00:17:03.000 This is the guy I like.

00:17:05.000 I like him even better than the father.

00:17:08.000 Hey folks, we need you on the door.

00:17:09.000 Everybody over here, back up.

00:17:10.000 Everybody back up.

00:17:16.000 Well, guys, I hope you like that.

00:17:19.000 I hope you get a little glimpse, a little taste.

00:17:22.000 And again, I think when you see Trump Force One, you realize, oh, you know, maybe Trump could have done a lot of things and probably had it a lot easier than dealing with these animals.

00:17:29.000 But he's doing it for the right reasons.

00:17:32.000 So, you know, it was just awesome to be a part of it.

00:17:35.000 Just super psyched to have been able to be there myself.

00:17:40.000 Whenever there's something like that, if we can bring some attention to it, just let us know.

00:17:46.000 He'll do it. It wasn't a big rally.

00:17:48.000 It didn't have to be. It was just lots of good Americans who've been left behind.

00:17:53.000 That's what got us into this journey.

00:17:56.000 And that's why it's going to continue.

00:17:58.000 So thank you again, guys, for everything.

00:18:01.000 Everyone in East Palestine, it was just an honor to meet you guys.

00:18:04.000 I truly appreciate it.

00:18:05.000 So before we get to Kyle, a quick word from our sponsors.

00:18:08.000 I want to thank Everyone who's been sponsoring this show.

00:18:13.000 Again, I get it. It's not easy.

00:18:15.000 But if you're sponsoring this show, I can assure you, you share our values because otherwise you wouldn't take the risk.

00:18:20.000 You wouldn't take the cancellation risk.

00:18:22.000 You wouldn't take any of the nonsense.

00:18:24.000 So I want to thank new sponsor, Field of Greens.

00:18:27.000 And so this is actually an interesting one because I have to admit it.

00:18:30.000 I do not make the best food choices.

00:18:33.000 I have a little bit of the DJT. McDonald's thing in me, and I'm on the road like 50, 60% of the time, a couple hundred thousand miles a year, commercial, air travel, in airports.

00:18:47.000 And I should eat healthier, but I don't.

00:18:50.000 And oftentimes I don't have an option and or I'm too lazy and I make excuses for not doing it.

00:18:54.000 So doctors say I should eat Six cups of fruits and vegetables a day, and the reality is, I don't have the time for that.

00:19:00.000 It wouldn't happen. But according to all the studies, people who eat healthy, they live longer, they have less heart disease, they have less diabetes, they have less cancer, and they have less everything that's bad.

00:19:11.000 So, I take Field of Greens, and I'll tell you why.

00:19:15.000 Unlike a lot of the other fruit and vegetable supplements out there, each specific fruit and vegetable in Field of Greens was medically selected to support specific functions, whether that's heart health, liver, kidney, immune system, and your metabolism.

00:19:30.000 So I take it to help me stay healthy.

00:19:33.000 Field of Greens isn't just another supplement or a vitamin that's boiled down.

00:19:37.000 It's literally 100% whole foods.

00:19:41.000 No extracts, not again.

00:19:43.000 The boiled down nonsense that doesn't do anything has just been diluted.

00:19:47.000 Field of Greens is just a perfect portion of organic fruits and vegetables ground into a fine powder.

00:19:54.000 They're an American company, headquartered in Texas, and it's all manufactured in the US, unlike the crap that you see out of China where half of our medical stuff is coming out of there. 0.78

00:20:04.000 It's made in the US. And what's great is that it's good for everyone in the family.

00:23:13.000 And we're just really excited about this one.

00:23:15.000 Now going to go live with Kyle Rittenhouse, a guy that's been run through the ringer, put through...

00:23:24.000 Frankly, as far as I'm concerned, an unfair trial with the media trying to influence a jury and run down the jury pool and the protests and the this.

00:23:32.000 A true example of being guilty before having to prove your innocence.

00:23:39.000 Not innocent until proven guilty like what used to be in America. 0.63

00:23:44.000 But Kyle's been put through the ringer.

00:23:46.000 We'll talk about who was there to help him, who sort of conveniently just, eh, it's not really my problem.

00:23:53.000 What he's doing now, even after the acquittal, there's now people, you know, chasing after him, trying to sue him, you know, either to destroy his life.

00:24:01.000 Remember, this is like a teenage kid put through the ringer.

00:24:05.000 He was there trying to administer, you know, first aid, scrubbing graffiti off of walls in Wisconsin and Kedosha during, you know, the Summer of Love riots, where it seems that, you know, all the people who Actually committed murder, not self-defense. Arson, looting, everything else that went on during the Summer of Love.

00:24:28.000 You know, they were... Just, you know, social justice warriors, because nothing says social justice like stealing and looting a store, right, folks?

00:24:36.000 You know, that doesn't go against the narrative.

00:24:38.000 But Kyle, oh, he's a young white man with an AR-15, and who cares if they were going to beat him to death with a skateboard or said those things or whatever it may be?

00:24:47.000 I mean, he's obviously guilty.

00:24:48.000 He's defending himself.

00:24:50.000 Let's make sure that no Americans ever want to defend themselves so we can push forward our communism and make sure that they're unarmed and take over so easily. 0.54

00:24:59.000 That's worked out so well in the rest of the world.

00:25:01.000 So this is a kid.

00:25:03.000 He's not a kid anymore.

00:25:05.000 He may still be, in my eyes, in terms of years, but he's certainly not a kid in terms of experience.

00:25:12.000 He's gone through hell.

00:25:14.000 He's gone through...

00:25:17.000 Probably a lot more than most people his age.

00:25:20.000 And he's still fighting and they're still going after him.

00:25:23.000 So I think you guys are really going to enjoy this.

00:25:25.000 It's awesome to be here with him.

00:25:28.000 Ladies and gentlemen, welcome Kyle Rittenhouse.

00:25:32.000 What's going on, guys? Welcome back to a new episode of Triggered.

00:25:36.000 Tonight we have a really special guest.

00:25:38.000 We have Kyle Rittenhouse. Many of you have heard about the plight.

00:25:40.000 You've seen the attacks that a 17-year-old kid at the time, I say that, while I look at him like a man and certainly the experiences that he went through during that time, Accelerated that growth process rather significantly, but I'm really excited about this one.

00:25:56.000 We're going to talk about everything as it relates to that case.

00:25:59.000 We're going to talk about the unequal justice under the law that conservatives face, especially when you look at him versus some of the insanity that was going on.

00:26:08.000 So now we're going to talk.

00:26:11.000 Speaking of watching half the world want to put you in the gulags, we're with Kyle Rittenhouse.

00:26:17.000 Kyle, great to have you on here.

00:26:20.000 I was really excited to sort of see the verdict when it came out.

00:26:26.000 It was one of those things, you know, I hadn't watched something like that since OJ, although I thought it was going to be a very different outcome.

00:26:32.000 What I've seen since we got sort of immersed in this world was that you can't really get a fair shake.

00:26:38.000 So even something as obvious to anyone in America, you were up against so much.

00:26:45.000 What was that like when you're sitting there waiting for that verdict, fighting for your life?

00:26:52.000 It was stressful.

00:26:53.000 It was one of the scariest moments outside of being attacked.

00:26:56.000 It was one of the scariest moments outside of being attacked in my life.

00:26:59.000 It was... It was a bunch of emotions.

00:27:02.000 It was not knowing what was going to happen.

00:27:05.000 It was scary. I was up against these George Sorrell-funded prosecutors.

00:27:11.000 Was that what was going on?

00:27:12.000 Were these guys getting some sort of back-end donations?

00:27:15.000 I mean, the media, obviously, and everyone else going after it.

00:27:18.000 I guarantee it.

00:27:20.000 I don't know for sure.

00:27:21.000 I don't know for 100% fact.

00:27:23.000 But I'm sure of it.

00:27:25.000 Well, listen, you were up against...

00:27:27.000 It wasn't you versus a prosecutorial system.

00:27:30.000 I mean, in the court of public opinion, you were guilty in the media.

00:27:33.000 And we'll go through some of those commentary.

00:27:35.000 You were guilty as far as the world was concerned.

00:27:38.000 Not because you were actually guilty, but because...

00:27:42.000 These institutions that hate everything you stood for.

00:27:44.000 You know, you were a white, young male with an AR-15.

00:27:49.000 They didn't even tell the story of why you were actually there, which I'd like to hear as well.

00:27:53.000 I mean, you know, you were a medic.

00:27:55.000 You were there cleaning up graffiti throughout the day.

00:27:59.000 Why didn't none of that make it into the news?

00:28:02.000 The news didn't want to report on the truth.

00:28:04.000 They just wanted to push their own agenda.

00:28:05.000 They wanted to call me a white supremacist, a vigilante, and a murderer, and just push their own agenda.

00:28:13.000 They wanted to put politics into something that had nothing to do with politics.

00:28:17.000 And we had an election coming up, and they wanted to use this to win their election.

00:28:23.000 They wanted to use this for their own narrative.

00:28:28.000 So, you were 17.

00:28:30.000 You know, at the time. I remember watching, like, I guess it was LeBron, right?

00:28:37.000 He came out and attacked you.

00:28:39.000 You broke down on the witness stand.

00:28:42.000 Now, like, bear in mind, you're testifying for your life. 1.00

00:28:45.000 LeBron is like a crying bitch if someone gives him, like, a No, no. 0.99

00:28:49.000 I mean, in all fairness, like, every time he does, oh, my God! 1.00

00:28:51.000 I mean, the guy's, like, 300 pounds, 6'4", and someone brushes up against him, and he falls on the floor for three minutes, you know, crying like a little girl.

00:29:00.000 But he was out there.

00:29:02.000 Where's the lie, right? He was out there.

00:29:04.000 I mean, you're on trial for your life.

00:29:07.000 You're up against a trillion-dollar mainstream media that would love to give you the death chamber if they could. 0.99

00:29:14.000 They'd put you in the electric chair.

00:29:17.000 Um... You're up against, you know, the entire left.

00:29:22.000 You're used as a fulcrum point in an election to make a narrative.

00:29:28.000 What was that like sitting there seeing those kind of people, you know, with that much power, criticize you for what I think would be an emotional experience that anyone would have given the situation?

00:29:40.000 It was crazy to see the machine of the media and politicians.

00:29:45.000 Like, look at Sleepy Joe. He used me in his campaign ad.

00:29:48.000 White supremacist, my face right there.

00:29:53.000 The President of the United States, Vice President, used that in his ad. 0.97

00:29:59.000 Unacceptable. You should not be able to do that.

00:30:01.000 Just to win an election, and then the media called me a white supremacist, a murderer, a vigilante.

00:30:09.000 Well, they tried creating that story, right? 0.99

00:30:11.000 You know, you're obviously a murderer. 0.94

00:30:12.000 Now, they're still trying. 0.95

00:30:13.000 And by the way, make no mistake, they do the same thing to me, right?

00:30:17.000 I wasn't on trial for my life, but they certainly wanted to.

00:30:21.000 I mean, eventually we're all going to be again. What's that?

00:30:23.000 Eventually, if things keep going the way they are, we're all going to be again.

00:30:26.000 Well, and I think that's a good point, which is, like, I think we have to understand.

00:30:30.000 You know, the conservatives, everyone asks when we do the show and I'll read the comments and, you know, even lie.

00:30:36.000 So what do we do to fight back?

00:30:38.000 And the answer is we just got to engage.

00:30:40.000 Because if we just sit back and sort of do the turn the other cheek and live and let live and don't fight back against that machine...

00:30:48.000 They will win. They will cancel us.

00:30:51.000 I mean, they were fine utilizing a 17-year-old kid at the time.

00:30:56.000 I'll say that. I mean, again, the experience that you went through, you ain't a kid anymore.

00:31:01.000 I mean, you've experienced just about everything anyone could experience.

00:31:06.000 But at the time, they had no problem destroying your life, getting ahead of the justice system.

00:31:13.000 And perhaps the weirdest thing for me was watching, like, I just have so little faith in that system anymore.

00:31:20.000 And that's what must have been scary.

00:31:21.000 Meaning, 20 years ago, I think the same situation could have transpired.

00:31:25.000 It wouldn't have been political.

00:31:26.000 It would have been obvious that you're defending yourself.

00:31:28.000 You have the video, which in and of itself was sort of a no-brainer.

00:31:33.000 But then you also have the records of the, you know, what the media called the victims.

00:31:38.000 I call them the assailants.

00:31:40.000 Because, I mean, they were literally there trying to physically attack you.

00:31:43.000 And given, let's say, the outcomes of what we saw during the Summer of Love, as, you know, it was painted, right?

00:31:49.000 This mostly peaceful protest. 1.00

00:31:50.000 It's all bullshit. Yep. 1.00

00:31:52.000 But, you know, given the... I mean, one was a convicted child molester, right?

00:31:55.000 I mean, one...

00:31:56.000 The other spent time in jail for an assault.

00:31:59.000 I mean, these guys had rap sheets.

00:32:01.000 You're a 17-year-old kid with no prior record who was there cleaning up graffiti in the day.

00:32:07.000 I mean, it got carried away in a situation, but...

00:32:10.000 I mean, how was that like for you then at the time?

00:32:15.000 I noticed that the media was reporting on all these riots as peaceful protests, peaceful demonstrations.

00:32:22.000 Look at CNN. They said, mostly peaceful but fiery demonstrations.

00:32:26.000 Yeah, fiery. I remember, like, there was a building burning in the background.

00:32:29.000 It wasn't like it got a little spicy in the rhetoric.

00:32:32.000 Like, you know, the one I use is, there was a building burning in the background.

00:32:36.000 The reporter, I think it was CNN, is, it was mostly peaceful.

00:32:39.000 And he gets hit in the head with, like, a brick.

00:32:41.000 You know what I mean? It's like, really, it doesn't seem mostly peaceful.

00:32:43.000 But they oversold that narrative.

00:32:45.000 And it was, like, don't believe your lying eyes.

00:32:48.000 You see it with your own eyes, but don't believe it.

00:32:50.000 They didn't want to report on what was actually happening.

00:32:52.000 And I think they were negligent in that fact.

00:32:55.000 Like, they didn't want to show people that America was on fire and people were going crazy and it was like the purge.

00:33:01.000 So what do you do about that?

00:33:03.000 I mean, you, you know, we saw, you know, Nick Sandman, right?

00:33:07.000 You know, another person labeled as a white nationalist for standing there and having more discipline, frankly, than just about any human being I could ever imagine in that situation.

00:33:15.000 I mean, he actually went after these people and sued them and won some victories.

00:33:21.000 I mean, I feel like you should be in that same position.

00:33:24.000 You're a 17-year-old kid thrust into that position.

00:33:28.000 They vilified you.

00:33:29.000 They called you every name in the book.

00:33:31.000 They lied about you.

00:33:32.000 They continue to call you a murderer even though you've been acquitted.

00:33:36.000 What do you do about it now?

00:33:37.000 And what would you tell other people about that plight and how to push back?

00:33:44.000 Well, speaking of Nick Sandman, me and him have the same lawyer for defamation.

00:33:49.000 So I'm going to be going after these people, but there's a lot that goes into it.

00:33:52.000 It costs a lot of money to sue somebody.

00:33:55.000 And we have to look at laws like anti-SLAPP laws to make sure if we do lose one of these lawsuits that we're not going to get hit with one of those and end up owing, say, we lose against CNN and then we owe them $200,000 now.

00:34:07.000 So we have to look at all those factors before we file them and make sure we file them in the right place.

00:34:13.000 And then people need to, like, start standing up, supporting small journalists, real media companies, and, like, stop watching CNN, stop giving them their view counts, stop funding them, because we need to take over the left news.

00:34:26.000 Well, that's an important one.

00:34:28.000 I saw that literally the other day.

00:34:30.000 Andy Ngo, who's a sort of—actually, the former—the kind of left-wing reporter that's watched all this stuff, he's been one of the people reporting on Antifa.

00:34:38.000 And apparently Twitter, even Twitter 2.0, which seems to be getting worse than Twitter 1.0, I don't know what happened.

00:34:43.000 There was a nice reprieve for a little while, and then my engagement's back to worse than pre-Elon level, so I don't know what's happening there.

00:34:51.000 And I guess there's a lot of inmates probably running the asylum that even with a directive, even with a takeover, people are making those decisions.

00:34:58.000 But a journalist like him, who's been reporting on Antifa violence, which you know a lot about, Yeah.

00:35:08.000 Yeah. 0.81

00:35:09.000 The lunatics the same lunatics that were there in Wisconsin that night with you 0.96

00:35:14.000 I noticed that a lot especially like on Instagram, especially like I have no engagement almost 0.85

00:35:20.000 Yeah and I noticed that somebody will post something for truth

00:35:25.000 and it'll be about like the left or a violent organization and then they'll just

00:35:29.000 Get shadow banned or their account will get suspended And I'm like, how is that possible?

00:35:34.000 Section 230 of the Communication Decency Act prohibits to take down things.

00:35:39.000 They can take down whatever they want, but unless it's newsworthy.

00:35:42.000 Correct. It seems like this would be relevant, given that it was used as a fulcrum point in the presidential election.

00:35:48.000 It seems like it would be violation of Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act.

00:35:52.000 So, you know, and this is one I've fought a lot on because I think Republicans have been sitting, you know, sort of on their thumbs, you know, pretending to do something about sort of that big tech infringement, and yet it happens every day.

00:36:03.000 It happens on all these platforms.

00:36:05.000 We saw last week, you know, the Twitter testimony where they're clearly, you know, censoring people, you know, members of Congress. 1.00

00:36:15.000 The same people who are the arbiters of truth and decency seem to be pushing, like, pedophile shit. 0.99

00:36:19.000 Like, you know... Well, shouldn't high school kids be able to consent with their parents and then not doing anything about kiddie porn all over the site at the time? 0.99

00:36:28.000 Those were the people At the time, they were the arbiters of truth.

00:36:32.000 Those were the people that were the arbiters of decency.

00:36:35.000 They have no problem with kiddie porn, but if you're a conservative, they censored conservative congresspeople like Marjorie Taylor Greene, who ended up being right.

00:36:42.000 They obviously were probably censoring you or anyone like myself who'd be defending you in all of this.

00:36:50.000 Have you spoken to any of those people?

00:36:51.000 Are they going to do anything about it, or is it just lip service as well?

00:36:56.000 Margie's a great friend of mine.

00:36:58.000 I've talked to her quite a bit and she's shadow banned like crazy.

00:37:01.000 Oh yeah. Trust me.

00:37:03.000 I understand. I'm in this.

00:37:05.000 They go, Don, you're a conspiracy theorist.

00:37:07.000 You said Twitter shadow banned you.

00:37:09.000 It's like, how do you know that? Well, because I was getting 10,000 retweets like last week and today I'm getting three.

00:37:13.000 Not 3,000, but like three.

00:37:15.000 I think I understand how this works.

00:37:17.000 Exactly. I just don't know how, like, sometimes I lose hope Like, thinking, okay, so the left owns all these platforms.

00:37:29.000 Like, they may have, like, a pretty good owner, like Elon Musk, but then their employees aren't listening to them, and the employees are pretty much driving it a hole, shadow banning everything, and it seems to have no control anymore.

00:37:42.000 Yeah, I think, like, even if he wanted to do something about it, which I think he probably does...

00:37:47.000 There's so many people working against him.

00:37:49.000 It's sort of like what you're dealing with in the media.

00:37:52.000 There's so many people there.

00:37:53.000 You look at their donations, like 99.99% to leftist causes and to Democrats.

00:38:00.000 And you say that even if he wanted to do something...

00:38:03.000 You could be the owner, but still not have total control.

00:38:06.000 And I sort of see that with a lot of tech.

00:38:09.000 So I think, you know, that's, I mean, it's why I'm doing the podcast on Rumble.

00:38:12.000 Like, why would I build up a YouTube following only to be canceled because I had you on? 0.99

00:38:16.000 Or because I say the shit that I say every day. 0.99

00:38:18.000 Like, you know what I mean? It's not even worth it. 1.00

00:38:22.000 We also, I think, they'll have to make the cognizant effort to not just disengage entirely.

00:38:28.000 Yeah, absolutely. Absolutely, because we need to overcome it.

00:38:31.000 We need to get on other platforms like TrueSocial.

00:38:34.000 How's your engagement there versus anywhere else?

00:38:36.000 My engagement there is pretty good.

00:38:39.000 I still think my Twitter engagement's the best because Truth Social hasn't been promoted that much.

00:38:45.000 Yeah, it's growing as a smaller base to work with. 0.99

00:38:47.000 It's not that big, but I would say it goes Twitter, Truth Social, and then Instagram is just shit. 0.98

00:38:54.000 I have... I've been shadow banned. 0.96

00:38:56.000 I see that a lot. I can have a post one weekend that does close to half a million likes and then the next day it's like 15,000.

00:39:04.000 I'm like, wait, what? What did I do?

00:39:07.000 The worst for me is watching some of the fact checks.

00:39:11.000 I'd be like, this is my opinion.

00:39:13.000 No, that's wrong. I'm saying it's my opinion.

00:39:15.000 I literally put in disclaimers and people are like, oh, that's a funny disclaimer.

00:39:18.000 I'm like, no, I have to because they will literally take something that is clearly a joke or humor or a meme and come up with something so obscure that's Sure, I guess it could be viewed as factually incorrect, but no one's even looking at it that way.

00:39:32.000 It's designed to make a point, and they fact check you.

00:39:35.000 They do it a lot in stories. Watch out for that one, guys, because your stories disappear in 24 hours, so they fact check something that disappeared in 24 hours three weeks later, and you don't see it unless you go look in your archives, and you're like, wait a minute, all these things were fact checked, and that's why your engagement's gone to shit. 0.98

00:39:48.000 I see that a lot with the fact checking.

00:39:50.000 I go through people's Instagram stories, and I say, this contains false information, and then I'll click on it, and I'm like, wait, that's true, though.

00:39:58.000 Or 100% true.

00:39:59.000 Or it's opinion. Or it's subjective.

00:40:03.000 Meaning it's not a fact check one way or the other.

00:40:06.000 It's just subjective, but they're saying this is right.

00:40:09.000 I've been fact checked with things that are just flagrantly wrong.

00:40:12.000 They're like, here. Most of the time, I fight each and every one of them.

00:40:15.000 And you can make them all go away, but I think To the point of we have to engage, the apathy.

00:40:21.000 When people are like, eh, whatever, it's just a fact check on my thing.

00:40:24.000 No, no, no. That's what they use to limit your reach. 0.62

00:40:27.000 That's why we're not on an equal footing, because I see some lunatic shit from some of these leftist accounts, whether it's on Twitter, whether it's on Instagram, whether it's, you know, they all end up in my feed, even though I don't want them to be there and I don't follow them. 0.98

00:40:38.000 Magically, they end up there, so they're getting that extra sort of boost in engagement. 0.97

00:40:42.000 But I see stuff that's just patently false, and there's never a fact-check organization because the political ideologies of the organization doing the work are one way.

00:40:50.000 I find it really funny.

00:40:52.000 I'll see, like, a blue checkmark on Instagram or something, call me a murderer, but I never see a fact-check on there saying false.

00:40:59.000 Yeah, no, they wouldn't even think about it.

00:41:00.000 And yet, you know, if there was...

00:41:04.000 If there was a conservative organization allowed to do it, they could have a field day, and yet they'd never be let into that platform, right?

00:41:10.000 You have the same problem with sort of Google.

00:41:11.000 You know, Wikipedia is sort of the fact check organization of, you know, of the internet. 1.00

00:41:18.000 It's leftist bullshit. 0.98

00:41:20.000 I mean, if I read your profile, my profile, you know, and then I read one of the lunatics on the left, I'm like, wait a minute, that guy's got the glowing review, you're the murderer, I'm a, you know, Russia stooge. 1.00

00:41:30.000 Like, it's insane.

00:41:33.000 Okay, so your life got thrust into the spotlight, right?

00:41:40.000 Obviously didn't want that to happen.

00:41:42.000 It is what it is. You fought it.

00:41:44.000 What's that been like now?

00:41:46.000 You know, do you want to stay out there fighting for the cause?

00:41:50.000 Would you love to be able to just go back to the way it was beforehand?

00:41:53.000 You know, what's the plan for the future?

00:41:56.000 Well, it's been crazy getting thrown into the spotlight at such a young age, 17, having no idea how the media works and how powerful the media actually is.

00:42:06.000 But I used to want to just go back and be quiet and not be in the spotlight, but I realized I have a voice.

00:42:15.000 I have a platform that I can use for good.

00:42:17.000 I can push the agenda that I think is right.

00:42:21.000 I can push my politics that I like and hopefully see positive change in my platform.

00:42:28.000 I'm going to continue doing that.

00:42:30.000 I'm going to continue using my voice for good.

00:42:33.000 Yeah, I'm not going away.

00:42:34.000 So were you always political before this?

00:42:37.000 No, I was a Trump supporter.

00:42:39.000 I was actually pictured at a Trump rally.

00:42:42.000 Well, that was like exhibit A against you and for why you're somehow magically a white supremacist despite no actual evidence.

00:42:49.000 But, you know, if you wear a red hat, like, that's it.

00:42:50.000 You know what's funny is, I saw that photo, I'm like, how the hell did people put that together?

00:42:55.000 Because it's like this grainy photo, you can't even tell it's me.

00:42:58.000 I'm wearing this white Trump hat, but it was me.

00:43:00.000 And I saw that, and I'm like, how?

00:43:03.000 I imagine it's because they're really well-funded.

00:43:06.000 And they'll do anything to either create or promote the narrative.

00:43:10.000 And we don't have necessarily anyone doing the same for us on our side.

00:43:17.000 And I think that's a problem.

00:43:18.000 I mean, that's why I think, again, we've got to support the platforms That support that kind of free speech.

00:43:25.000 Are there places where people can donate to help you out in this plight, whether it be to go after the other guys?

00:43:30.000 You're now being sued by one of the people who, I guess the guy that tried to attack you with a skateboard, clearly in the video you're defending yourself, he would have put his skateboard through your head, in my opinion, had he been able to, but now you're being sued by his family What's happening with that?

00:43:50.000 And again, how do people support you in that fight?

00:43:53.000 You can go to www.givesengo.com forward slash Kyle Rittenhouse to help me fight this lawsuit.

00:44:00.000 And what people don't realize is he hit me on the skateboard twice already.

00:44:04.000 As I was running down Sheridan Road to get to the police, he hit me once with a skateboard.

00:44:09.000 Then I was hit in the back of the head with a rock, stumbled to the ground, kicked in the face, hit a second time in the back of the head by him with a skateboard, and that's when I defended myself against him.

00:44:18.000 So there's no...

00:44:19.000 He was merely trying to fan you.

00:44:22.000 You looked sweaty. He was going to fan you with the skateboard.

00:44:24.000 I mean, it's very clear he intended to cause you...

00:44:29.000 Severe and bodily harm, and that's based on everything that I've seen.

00:44:33.000 So what's the purpose of this?

00:44:35.000 Is this them? Is it a money grab?

00:44:38.000 They think that, you know, you've somehow made a lot of money in this whole process, which I think is probably nonsense, but is it them just trying to break you?

00:44:46.000 Like, you can win the legal battle, you can win the criminal case, and it doesn't matter, they just have a way to get you?

00:44:54.000 What do you think there? I think it's a well-funded law firm that's coming after me.

00:45:00.000 I think it's an attack on gun owners and people who use self-defense on the civil side.

00:45:06.000 I think it's to infringe fear on everyday gun owners to say, if you defend yourself, we are going to bankrupt you and we're going to take all of your money and we're going to destroy your life even if you're acquitted of lawful self-defense.

00:45:18.000 I think that's what they're trying to do and I think they're trying to use me as an example in that case.

00:45:22.000 So talk about that a little bit. Obviously, you said you never want to glorify the loss of life.

00:45:25.000 I've heard you say these quotes, and I think that's 100% right.

00:45:28.000 But what are your thoughts now on the Second Amendment?

00:45:32.000 The Second Amendment saved my life.

00:45:35.000 It's plain as day.

00:45:37.000 Without that, I wouldn't be here today.

00:45:38.000 I would be dead.

00:45:40.000 It saves lives every day, and we have politicians coming after firearms, coming after AR-15s, pistols.

00:45:50.000 Look here in Florida. I love Florida, but you have to be 21 to purchase a rifle here.

00:45:55.000 And I think that's ridiculous.

00:45:57.000 I think you should be able to buy a gun at 18. 0.80

00:46:00.000 Yeah, if you can go to war, I mean, it sort of feels like you should be able to do these things, right? 1.00

00:46:04.000 Like, it's a little bit ridiculous.

00:46:06.000 And then you should have the right to defend yourself. 0.92

00:46:09.000 You should not have that in French.

00:46:11.000 And I see a lot of states taking over on that.

00:46:13.000 And pretty much, you can't own a gun, you can't defend yourself, you can't protect your family, and they're getting killed and they're being attacked.

00:46:20.000 Yeah, I guess that's the idea, right?

00:46:22.000 The attack is, even if you're allowed to do these things by the Second Amendment, we're going to make it so penal that everyone thinks about it before they go to actually defend themselves.

00:46:31.000 And, you know, when seconds count, you know, that thought process shouldn't have to go through your head.

00:46:38.000 Obviously, you've got to keep it legal.

00:46:39.000 It's got to be real. You can't just go off taking punch shots at you.

00:46:43.000 But what I saw them try to do in vilifying you was like...

00:46:48.000 Perhaps like the most clear example.

00:46:50.000 I think it was interesting. I saw two, three weeks ago, I think the FBI, shockingly, one of the most underreported statistics that they have on there that there's clear evidence of was the amount of people like yourself who defended themselves using their Second Amendment rights But they pretend like it doesn't happen.

00:47:11.000 The amount of sort of good guys with a gun that stop a crime that just gets not reported as that.

00:47:18.000 Have you seen that? Have you been able to look into some of these things?

00:47:21.000 But it was so... I mean, it was so glaring to me that that's the one thing that they, you know...

00:47:26.000 White supremacy is the number one threat in America.

00:47:28.000 No one knows anyone where this is actually a thing. 0.97

00:47:31.000 I'm sure there's two or three people that are fucking crazy out there somewhere that are, you know, but like, that's not the number one threat to America, but the one statistic they choose to under-report, you know, the same guys that had everyone that's been a bad guy on their radar that can't seem to stop them before doing anything because, you know, the people who are doing the bad stuff are often the guys checking off some sort of PC box, but that's the statistic that they choose to under-report.

00:47:53.000 That good guys with guns actually stopped a lot of crimes or a lot of bad things from actually happening.

00:47:59.000 I haven't seen that statistic yet.

00:48:01.000 I'd love to look at that. Shouldn't surprise you even a little bit, though, based on the FBI and the bullshit these days. 0.98

00:48:05.000 That reminds me of a story. Look at Elijah Dickin who stopped the mall shooter in Greenwood, Indiana. 0.94

00:48:11.000 I believe it was Greenwood Mall.

00:48:13.000 He shot...

00:48:14.000 He defended the mall from an active shooter 40 yards away, 10 shots...

00:48:21.000 And he hit him eight times.

00:48:24.000 And nobody wants to report on that.

00:48:26.000 A good guy with a gun. I think he got a little bit of media coverage.

00:48:29.000 Well, he got a little bit of media coverage because they were hoping, like, the shooter, the bad guy, they were hoping he was like a white supremacist, you know, MAGA supporter.

00:48:37.000 Yeah, of course he's a leftist. It's just like the guy that ran through the Christmas parade.

00:48:41.000 It's a story until...

00:48:45.000 It's not a Trump supporter or until it's not a conservative or a guy in a MAGA hat, which is 99.9% of the time it seems to be the case.

00:48:54.000 And then you're like, guess what, boys?

00:48:55.000 This story is going to disappear in about three, two, gone.

00:48:59.000 Yep. They can't use it to fill that narrative. 0.94

00:49:02.000 And so that shooting was indicative of it.

00:49:05.000 But again, then... One of the conservative outlets finally put up, do you understand, like, how many of these things actually happen?

00:49:11.000 And we don't hear about it at all.

00:49:13.000 You saw the shootings, I guess it was two weeks ago in California.

00:49:15.000 Like, I guess they were done by elderly, like, disgruntled, like, Asian, whatever it was. 1.00

00:49:20.000 And, like, again, there was a shooting in California and, oh, it wasn't an assault weapon.

00:49:24.000 You know, whatever that means.

00:49:25.000 It wasn't an assault rifle.

00:49:28.000 It wasn't an angry old white guy.

00:49:30.000 What about the hundreds of gang on gang violence in Chicago?

00:49:33.000 No, you can't talk about that. Stop being a white supremacist. 0.99

00:49:37.000 You can't talk about facts. 0.99

00:49:40.000 Don't talk about facts.

00:49:41.000 That's not the way it works. You should know this better than anyone.

00:49:44.000 My apologies. So we're talking Second Amendment.

00:49:49.000 And again, I think there's a lot of people, everyone who's following me probably is a big supporter of the Second Amendment like I am.

00:49:56.000 How many of the organizations actually out there defending the Second Amendment stepped up to help you?

00:50:00.000 National Association for Gun Rights and Gun Owners of America really stepped up to the plate to help me.

00:50:06.000 So it wasn't just a fundraising grab for them.

00:50:08.000 They actually got involved, got in the game, got engaged.

00:50:11.000 National Association for Gun Rights is still helping me a little bit. 1.00

00:50:15.000 NRA did shit for me. 0.99

00:50:17.000 Really? They did close to nothing. 1.00

00:50:20.000 Did you reach out? I mean, by the way, it's such an obvious one.

00:50:24.000 You shouldn't have to. So again, I don't want to...

00:50:27.000 So what's funny...

00:50:28.000 If a guy defending himself is too...

00:50:30.000 And I've seen this myself. Guys that are part of the mission, like, well, Don, we don't want to touch that because you're too controversial.

00:50:38.000 I'm like... Wait, I'm like, this is the perfect example of what you're supposed to stand for.

00:50:42.000 So NRA didn't do anything? The NRA didn't do anything, which is funny is because I was at SHOT Show a couple weeks ago and I walked past the NRA booth and they all walked up to me.

00:50:51.000 Yeah, no, they want the selfie.

00:50:52.000 They wanted to take a selfie. They want to put it on Instagram.

00:50:55.000 They want to put it on their other things.

00:50:56.000 They want to use it for fundraising, but they didn't actually step up to what was an obvious Use of self-defense and the Second Amendment?

00:51:04.000 Yeah, so it was a little weird because I wasn't there for them.

00:51:09.000 I was like, okay, I'm here for the National Association of Gun Rights, but I was like, I'll take a picture with them, but I held my NAGR badge up.

00:51:16.000 Nice. Yeah, so they'll block that out conveniently. 0.69

00:51:19.000 Yeah, they'll put NRA over it, right?

00:51:22.000 So, you know, for those of, you know, people who are, again, you said the Second Amendment saved your life.

00:51:26.000 I believe that to be 100% accurate, right?

00:51:29.000 The guys, let's just, we can talk about it a little bit.

00:51:32.000 You know, Joseph Rosenbaum, one of the attackers, 36-year-old from Kadoshia, That was the first man.

00:51:38.000 Previous criminal history.

00:51:40.000 In December 2002, a court in Pima County, Arizona, sentenced him to a decade in prison on child molestation charges.

00:51:48.000 Now, I understand that for the left, this is their idea of a perfect and upstanding citizen.

00:51:53.000 To me, it seems that way, right?

00:51:54.000 Those are the people that should get the benefit of doubt. 1.00

00:51:56.000 A guy who's a fucking child molester. 1.00

00:51:59.000 Um... He spent over 14 years in prison and committed dozens of disciplinary infractions, state records show. 1.00

00:52:07.000 Through the prosecution, tried to portray Rosenbaum as a concerned citizen who just happened to show up the night of the riot.

00:52:12.000 Probably not accurate.

00:52:16.000 Even Assistant District Attorney Thomas Binger, that's the lunatic that was pointing the gun at the jury, right?

00:52:23.000 He knows so much he's going to prosecute them. 0.91

00:52:25.000 Terrible trigger discipline.

00:52:27.000 Pointing a gun at people.

00:52:30.000 He just seemed like one of those guys.

00:52:31.000 He just wanted to be on TV. He was going to take this.

00:52:34.000 He was going to take it as far as he can.

00:52:35.000 He was going to use it to launch a future political career, get himself famous by throwing you in jail or worse.

00:52:44.000 And I guess the guy was apparently using the N-word to threaten people that night.

00:52:48.000 That's one of the guys the media chose to defend and portray as the innocent victim of a white nationalist like yourself.

00:52:59.000 I didn't know the backgrounds.

00:53:01.000 Of course you wouldn't. He was just trying to kill you. 0.99

00:53:03.000 You wouldn't have known that at the time, but you'd think that the media would die down once they find out this is the guy.

00:53:09.000 But, like, they went all in.

00:53:11.000 Like, that's like their dream candidate these days.

00:53:14.000 I mean, you see that the, you know, no different than Twitter, right? 0.98

00:53:18.000 Like, of course you can have child porn and kiddie porn all over Twitter, but, like, you can't have a congresswoman say something conservative. 1.00

00:53:25.000 Like, fuck that. We gotta just, we gotta ban that. 1.00

00:53:27.000 I mean... Talk about that a little bit.

00:53:29.000 I mean, because you didn't know this at the time.

00:53:31.000 You wouldn't. You were defending your life at the time.

00:53:33.000 I think anyone with a brain watching that video.

00:53:36.000 But, like, these are the people that try to say, no, no, no, that guy's a better guy than you.

00:53:42.000 No record. Again, doing good things.

00:53:45.000 No one talks about why you were there even in the first place to begin with.

00:53:48.000 Again, cleaning up graffiti and, you know, there with a med kit.

00:53:53.000 Yeah, so the media, they never wanted to report on well-known facts and what actually happened in backgrounds, but they wanted to report on my background.

00:54:01.000 They wanted to report on everything I've done wrong.

00:54:04.000 What did they say about your background?

00:54:06.000 I had a couple speeding tickets and...

00:54:09.000 Oh, forget it.

00:54:10.000 Cancel the interview. I mean, you're canceled.

00:54:13.000 But let me think about that. You had a couple speeding tickets.

00:54:15.000 Anything else? I don't know if you remember, there's some other drama, but there was not much.

00:54:22.000 Of course there's drama. Listen, we've all probably, you're 17 at the time, maybe you said something stupid on Twitter. 0.99

00:54:27.000 Like half the people, you know, now again, you could say something stupid on Twitter if you're a Democrat, if it's their narrative stupid and you actually get boosted. 1.00

00:54:34.000 If you're a conservative, we saw that with some of the athletes, right? 0.99

00:54:36.000 They praised Trump, right?

00:54:37.000 Oh my God!

00:54:39.000 He should be out of the draft.

00:54:41.000 But, again...

00:54:43.000 Couple little things that most young, I thank God every day, like I'm older than you by a lot.

00:54:49.000 I thank God every day that like I didn't have a video camera. 0.98

00:54:54.000 In my pocket when I was in college or high school or that everything wasn't captured in photo or everything stupid that you're doing when you're a dumb kid after a couple of beers ends up on the internet live. 0.95

00:55:09.000 I think there's probably not a normal person out there today That doesn't have shit that they did as a kid that, like, we didn't even have to think about because, of course, it disappeared in two seconds. 0.99

00:55:20.000 There was no harm, no foul. Like, it was never intended that it was kids being kids. 0.98

00:55:24.000 But today, it's really different.

00:55:27.000 But what's crazy to me, I mean, talk about that.

00:55:30.000 I mean, here's Stephen Colbert.

00:55:32.000 If Kyle Rittenhouse didn't break the law, we should change the law.

00:55:36.000 That's actually kind of minor.

00:55:37.000 It's insane, but kind of minor.

00:55:39.000 Mark Ruffalo for using cutesy nickname to honor Rittenhouse attacker.

00:55:43.000 He's going after you. Joy Reid says the Kyle Rittenhouse acquittal traces back to slave catchers.

00:55:49.000 BLM activists should be afraid. 1.00

00:55:51.000 You know, the BLM activists that are burning down Kedosha at the time, they should be afraid, but not law-abiding citizens. 0.94

00:56:00.000 How do you equate that?

00:56:01.000 I mean, how can they, in the minds of Pop culture.

00:56:06.000 They're out there. The guy that's a child molester. 0.97

00:56:10.000 The other guy that was, you know, had domestic abuse.

00:56:15.000 I guess that's the guy whose parents are suing you.

00:56:17.000 You know, domestic abuse and disorderly conduct.

00:56:19.000 Served prison time in 2012 for choking his brother.

00:56:24.000 You know, that's not like me wrestling with my brother.

00:56:26.000 If you're serving prison time, there's something far more than that.

00:56:31.000 They make you out to be worse than the child molester and the other dude that served jail time.

00:56:38.000 And the media's running with it, you know?

00:56:39.000 The View host, they savage Kyle Reinhardt.

00:56:41.000 He murdered two people, and you faked crying on the stand.

00:56:45.000 You didn't cry because it was an emotional experience.

00:56:47.000 You're a 17-year-old kid who's on trial for his life.

00:56:49.000 You faked it. I think that's where LeBron, you know, chimed in as well.

00:56:53.000 Lemonheads and crocodile tears, I believe.

00:56:55.000 I think that was a famous one.

00:56:56.000 Yeah, and again, the irony of that coming from LeBron, who's cried on TV more than any human being, you know, in any soap opera in the history of the world, is sort of amazing.

00:57:06.000 I see this every single day, every time there's a mass shooting.

00:57:09.000 I'm always trending on Twitter when there's something that happens and they're always comparing me to them.

00:57:15.000 They're saying, this is another Kyle Rittenhouse, they're going to get the Kyle Rittenhouse treatment.

00:57:18.000 There's no such thing as the Kyle Rittenhouse treatment.

00:57:21.000 I got acquitted because I did nothing wrong, people.

00:57:23.000 Well, no, there is Kyle Rittenhouse treatment. 1.00

00:57:26.000 It's bullshit. The Kyle Rittenhouse treatment is you are held to a different standard because you check the boxes, not the woke boxes, but you check the opposite. 0.98

00:57:36.000 You're a young white male who believes in the Second Amendment.

00:57:38.000 You're a Trump supporter. You're the person they want to throw in the gulags, whether you did anything or not.

00:57:44.000 I mean, if you look at January 6th, I liken a lot to that, right?

00:57:48.000 There were people who did violent things that should get in trouble.

00:57:51.000 There are also those who walk through, you know, they're taking selfies in between the velvet ropes doing nothing.

00:57:55.000 They've been in jail for two years with no due process, no nothing. 0.98

00:57:58.000 Look at a guy who just recently got the shit beat out of him in jail. 0.98

00:58:03.000 I forget his name. I was just, I heard the story the other day. 0.98

00:58:07.000 Like, doctors are refusing to see him.

00:58:09.000 I don't know if you've heard of this one.

00:58:10.000 I haven't. But apparently, like, he had, I'm trying to think.

00:58:15.000 I was just talking about it with my girlfriend the other day.

00:58:18.000 Like he had his brain damage or something. 0.99

00:58:21.000 He had the crappy... 0.98

00:58:23.000 And they won't see him because of his political views? 0.90

00:58:25.000 Something like that. Yeah, because that seems like the Hippocratic Oath probably covers, well, I don't agree with the person all the time, so let's just let him bleed from the brain or whatever it is.

00:58:34.000 But I think it shows you that's what we're up against.

00:58:38.000 And so that's why I love that there are people that helped you.

00:58:43.000 I'm shocked that there are others that didn't. 0.99

00:58:46.000 But I think people have to get involved in that game to make sure that guys like you don't just get thrown under the butt. 0.77

00:58:56.000 The idea of you is to put you in jail to stop anyone ever from doing this. 0.76

00:59:00.000 Like, I don't know, maybe I won't buy a gun.

00:59:02.000 You see the laws that they're putting in place.

00:59:04.000 The ATF now with the pistol brace nonsense.

00:59:07.000 They made a law. Millions of—they made it.

00:59:10.000 It wasn't like they just weren't sure and they haven't voted it.

00:59:12.000 They literally created that law.

00:59:14.000 And now they're going around and saying millions of firearms that are in compliance with the law that they made are now magically out of compliance, costing people millions, putting people in an awkward position of having to, you know, forced registration, or you're a felon.

00:59:28.000 You know, that attack is never-ending.

00:59:33.000 I haven't read much on that pistol brace law, so what the ATF is saying is the pistol brace thing for your AR pistol.

00:59:40.000 Yes, and now it's an SBR. It's a short-barreled rifle, for those who understand.

00:59:43.000 So they're going to say that... Now, they made that law for people who were, you know, either with disabilities so they could, you know, have these guns, but they created it.

00:59:51.000 And now they're saying the law that they made it after millions of people...

00:59:54.000 Didn't they make the braces? No, but they actually came up with the idea.

00:59:58.000 Listen, there are laws that, you know, I say the most creative people in the world is the American redneck. 1.00

01:00:04.000 You give them a rule, they'll figure out a way around it and whatever it is, right?

01:00:08.000 And that's fine.

01:00:09.000 And I think it's great. I mean, it's sort of part of America.

01:00:13.000 They actually crafted this law to come up with something, and now they're basically changing it.

01:00:19.000 And they're saying, you know, you either have to destroy the gun, you have to turn it in, you have to register it.

01:00:24.000 But, like, why'd you make that law in the first place?

01:00:27.000 And it's the problem of people making laws and rules who don't even understand, you know, the fundamental aspects of these things and just rushing to politicize it.

01:00:37.000 Yeah, and I think we as citizens need to put pressure on our elected officials.

01:00:42.000 We need to say, hey, stand up against these leftists and fight for what's right.

01:00:47.000 Fight for our Second Amendment.

01:00:48.000 Fight for our First Amendment.

01:00:50.000 Look at what they're doing. They're going to kick in your door.

01:00:52.000 They're going to come and take your guns, and you're going to be left stranded with no means.

01:00:56.000 Like, a lot of people use firearms for hunting.

01:00:58.000 I use an AR for hog hunting.

01:01:01.000 They're going to come and take those one day.

01:01:02.000 They're just going to kick in your door and take them. 1.00

01:01:04.000 And we need to stand up and make sure that never happens.

01:01:06.000 And that's the thing, right? What I think people don't understand, no, that's not realistic.

01:01:10.000 Oh, really? Like, look where we were a couple years ago and look at where we are now.

01:01:14.000 You know, it's a death by a thousand cuts.

01:01:16.000 The left does that really well.

01:01:17.000 They take a little bit and we have some apathy.

01:01:19.000 We don't do anything. When they take a little bit more, they take a little bit more, you know.

01:01:24.000 We gotta watch that, because one day you wake up and say, hey, what happened?

01:01:27.000 And it's too late. It's not usually the one...

01:01:29.000 This is a big push. I mean, this is a push that's crazy, right?

01:01:31.000 Because it's literally millions of weapons, probably affecting millions of gun owners, Money.

01:01:38.000 It's significant stuff, right?

01:01:40.000 And if you go through, they said if you keep it and you don't hold it in a trust, obviously there's all sorts of technical nuance for some of these things, but if you held these firearms a certain way, there's obviously the $200 tax stamp.

01:01:51.000 They're saying they're waiving some of these things, but to me it's a de facto way of forcing people

01:01:56.000 on a registry.

01:01:57.000 So now they know where to go, who to come after that has guns,

01:02:00.000 who are the people that are gonna be on a watch list.

01:02:02.000 And for those who are like, oh, the American public would never do that,

01:02:05.000 remember, the same people that'll ultimately be enforcing these rules and laws

01:02:10.000 were the same people who said a concerned mother that went to a PTA meeting, 0.99

01:02:14.000 that was sick of the bullshit being jammed down their children's throats, 0.99

01:02:17.000 whether it's critical race theory and all of that nonsense in their public school system, 1.00

01:02:21.000 they were branded domestic terrorists for being concerned parents by the FBI and the DOJ. 0.88

01:02:29.000 Not like one of the lunatic groups that's coming after you.

01:02:31.000 Not like a Soros stooge.

01:02:33.000 But our own Justice Department.

01:02:35.000 Our own FBI. The highest form of federal law enforcement said those people are domestic terrorists.

01:02:40.000 For being concerned parents.

01:02:43.000 What do you think they're going to feel?

01:02:44.000 The brass. Again, the door kickers, I think, are totally with us.

01:02:47.000 But the brass, who's become such a bureaucracy...

01:02:52.000 The guys that, you know, wouldn't know the difference between, you know, an AR-15 and a handgun other than, you know, AR-15 bad, just like Orange Man bad.

01:03:01.000 True, right? You know, Joe Biden's a wonderful guy.

01:03:04.000 He's done a great job. We're failing across the board, but he's wonderful.

01:03:07.000 Trump, where you're winning across the board is terrible for what reasons?

01:03:10.000 We don't know, but do as I say, not as I do.

01:03:13.000 Just listen. You know, but those are the guys going to be enforcing this.

01:03:17.000 They thought a concerned mother's a domestic terrorist. 1.00

01:03:20.000 They said it publicly.

01:03:23.000 Do we really not think that they would use the full force of the FBI to subjugate lawful gun owners, or at least lawful until they change the rules and make it so complicated that people don't even understand it, since they clearly don't understand it themselves?

01:03:38.000 Oh, no. I mean, a law comes to mind.

01:03:42.000 So have you heard of the new red flag laws and the whole boyfriend-girlfriend law thing where, say, your girlfriend breaks up with you, she calls the police or Tinder date and says, He hit me.

01:03:54.000 Doesn't even have to be any probable cause.

01:03:55.000 No. Doesn't even have to be true.

01:03:57.000 Law enforcement can come into your house, take your firearms, and hold your guns hostage for however long they want, and you're put on a blacklist so you can't get guns.

01:04:06.000 Well, and sort of what you're facing, right?

01:04:08.000 No real due process, right?

01:04:10.000 There's not a timeline. They just sort of hang it out there.

01:04:12.000 And more importantly, there's no monetary consequence, right?

01:04:16.000 You then have to go hire a lawyer.

01:04:18.000 To defend yourself.

01:04:20.000 It's a process that takes forever.

01:04:22.000 It's a process that's really costly.

01:04:24.000 So the reality is many people wouldn't be able to even fight that battle.

01:04:29.000 They're just forced to sort of lose right off the bat because they can't fight back.

01:04:33.000 I mean, hey, you're dealing with some of that yourself, right?

01:04:35.000 To go after the people that smeared you, the people that called you every name in the book, that lied about you, that continued to lie about you despite...

01:04:44.000 A legal acquittal in a court of law, you're not sure you can even go after them.

01:04:52.000 You're a 17-year-old kid, but they're saying, well, you're a public figure now.

01:04:55.000 You weren't when this all happened. 0.99

01:04:57.000 That's bullshit, but they'll weaponize that. 0.96

01:04:59.000 And they're well-funded by the radicals, and they're going to prevent you or make it as hard as possible for you to seek justice that they get for their people. 0.98

01:05:09.000 I mean, like I said, the guy that went to jail You know, for violent offenses and whatever it may be, is suing you, the family, for a wrongful death.

01:05:20.000 Even though you were acquitted, which means you were in the eyes of a jury in America.

01:05:24.000 I guess they thought you were innocent.

01:05:26.000 Unanimously. Unanimously.

01:05:28.000 Unanimous. And by the way, unanimous in a politicized case.

01:05:35.000 Let's not kid ourselves.

01:05:36.000 We saw all of the leaders of every group.

01:05:39.000 I mean, these were white guys. Let's talk about that, actually. 0.55

01:05:42.000 The guys that you did this to were white guys.

01:05:46.000 And yet you had Antifa and BLM activists.

01:05:50.000 They were pretending like it was a racial thing because that was more fiery. 0.83

01:05:55.000 That would get people more fired up.

01:05:57.000 And more importantly, that would dissuade...

01:06:00.000 The jury, right?

01:06:02.000 When there's a protest in front of the jury, some guy says, man, I just want to get back to my life.

01:06:05.000 I'm on this jury. I didn't really choose to be here.

01:06:07.000 I don't want anything to do with this.

01:06:09.000 I'm going to be branded a racist.

01:06:11.000 That was clearly, to me, part of what they were trying to do.

01:06:16.000 Intimidate the jury to get a false conviction because some guy just said, hey, I don't want my life ruined for doing the right thing because that's not above these people anymore.

01:06:26.000 Yeah, I mean, that reminds me of a story.

01:06:29.000 Do you know MSNBC followed the jury van?

01:06:31.000 Do you remember that story during my trial?

01:06:32.000 They chased down the jury van trying to get photos of the jurors to dox them.

01:06:37.000 You could hear the protesters out in the courtroom during my trial, and the jury just had to tune it out.

01:06:44.000 I did this last week on the show.

01:06:47.000 I showed the video. You see that school bus beating where that teenage, it was an African-American boy, it was a teenage kid, beat the hell out of this white nine-year-old girl, but the MSM said, beating, and they used the picture of a white kid punching another of similar age, as opposed to grossly disproportionate.

01:07:04.000 In my opinion, they were trying to create a race war and or utilize that to get the conviction that they wanted.

01:07:11.000 And that, to me, was one of the most disgusting things I'd ever seen.

01:07:14.000 I think it was Bill Ackman.

01:07:16.000 He was a big New York Democrat, big investor, multi-billionaire, one of the biggest investors in New York.

01:07:23.000 And he actually had a come-to-Jesus moment.

01:07:26.000 Which is surprising. I mean, big Hillary funder, everything. 0.92

01:07:28.000 And he was like, I guess him and his wife...

01:07:31.000 I did a tweet at the time. 0.94

01:07:32.000 I'm like, holy crap, if only other people had this kind of common sense. 0.93

01:07:36.000 He was watching, I guess, the trial. 0.98

01:07:40.000 And he goes... Wait a minute.

01:07:44.000 I'm watching the trial, and I didn't realize the victims were, when I say victims, the assailants that you defended yourself against.

01:07:52.000 I didn't know they were white.

01:07:54.000 I was led to believe that they were this.

01:07:57.000 I didn't realize you were there cleaning up graffiti beforehand, and you weren't there... 0.99

01:08:02.000 Starting shit. He goes, and so what he basically, he did this long thread, and it was sort of interesting, from a ardent, like, you know, Bolshevik, you know, bordering on full economy. 0.98

01:08:12.000 Now, he's still a capitalist, right?

01:08:14.000 But like... People were saying his account got hacked.

01:08:16.000 Yeah, no, the New York Times called him and said, hey, is everything okay?

01:08:20.000 He goes, what do you mean? He goes, no, no, I just wanted to make sure you're okay.

01:08:23.000 Like, have you lost your mind?

01:08:24.000 And he goes, no, but, like, I'm asking, like, I'm an informed guy.

01:08:28.000 He's a smart guy.

01:08:30.000 You know, he's made billions. It was one of the most sophisticated stuff in the world.

01:08:33.000 And he's like, I consider myself an informed guy.

01:08:36.000 And what he ended up saying was, it's sort of interesting because, and this is him, he goes, I've been... 0.98

01:08:45.000 In newspapers for decades, and I'm reading about the business deals, and I'm laughing about how stupid it is, how inaccurate it is. 0.98

01:08:53.000 And I know because I either know the people, if they're talking about me, and I'm involved in the deal, or I know how this stuff really works in the real world, and I know that it's bullshit. 0.97

01:09:02.000 He goes, and yet, I can read an article about me, know that it's bullshit, but I turn the page, and I assume that the next article is totally accurate. 0.92

01:09:10.000 He goes, what I should really be thinking is that the same bullshit that is about me is probably going on in this article. 0.94

01:09:16.000 And, you know, so I was watching that, and I go, wait a minute. 0.95

01:09:19.000 Maybe there's hope.

01:09:21.000 Now, there wasn't. They just stopped talking about him rather than promoting this as, hey, maybe we have interesting discourse and we have dialogue, but this was an ardent leftist coming to the realization that, holy shit, I've been manipulated. 0.99

01:09:33.000 I understand how it affects me in my day-to-day life, but I still assume that the other stuff that's reporting on where I'm not a subject matter expert or where I'm not personally involved is accurate, and that's a gross... 0.95

01:09:48.000 Mis-assumption these days.

01:09:50.000 Yeah, they don't want to report, when somebody of a different party or a different size happens to agree with us Republicans, they don't want to report on that, they don't want to say, oh, maybe the Republicans were right, maybe, like, which we are 98% of the time, and they don't want to speak on that.

01:10:09.000 So, what do you do, what can our people do to help you hold these people accountable?

01:10:16.000 You can go support me on Twitter.

01:10:18.000 This is Kyle R. Give me a follow.

01:10:20.000 This is Kyle R. on Twitter.

01:10:22.000 This is Kyle Rittenhouse on Instagram.

01:10:24.000 This is Kyle R. on Truth Social.

01:10:27.000 And just come and support me.

01:10:28.000 Come give me a follow, and I'll be posting updates as I go along.

01:10:31.000 Because that's the thing. People want to know, and again, you're early in this process.

01:10:36.000 So don't give up on the process, guys.

01:10:38.000 This seems like a clear example of a place where we can be Supporting this cause, going after these people to make sure it doesn't happen again.

01:10:48.000 Because again, what people have to understand is if they can do this to a 17-year-old kid, who can't they do it to?

01:10:56.000 But more importantly, who won't they do it to?

01:10:59.000 I've been saying this about me sort of indirectly for years.

01:11:03.000 Don Jr. committed treason in Russia. 0.99

01:11:05.000 I'm like, what the fuck are they talking about? 0.99

01:11:06.000 It's insane, but I'm like, you know, treason, minor details. 1.00

01:11:08.000 A crime punishable by death.

01:11:10.000 But they don't want to talk about the Hunter Biden laptop story.

01:11:12.000 No, but imagine I was Hunter Biden.

01:11:14.000 You think that would be fair game?

01:11:16.000 Do you think if it was my laptop that 51 intelligence officials, the full weight and force of the mainstream media, the full weight and force of big tech, do you think they would come to my assistance or would they actually be amplifying the story rather than pretending it's disinformation?

01:11:31.000 You'd be in prison right now.

01:11:32.000 I'd have been probably dead a long time ago.

01:11:37.000 That's what we're up against.

01:11:39.000 Guys, make sure you get out there and do this.

01:11:42.000 This is how we engage. This is how we fight back.

01:11:45.000 I chose to do this stuff.

01:11:49.000 My dad was going to do what he was going to do.

01:11:51.000 People were like, did you sit down with your dad?

01:11:53.000 I was like, no, no. DJT is DJT. He's going to do what he wants, but I chose to engage.

01:11:59.000 I could have shut up, been a real estate developer, continued to do those things, continued to be invited to the cool person parties in New York, and probably been fine.

01:12:08.000 Maybe not because of DJT, but it doesn't really matter.

01:12:10.000 I didn't care. Those were never really my people to begin with.

01:12:12.000 For me, politics was freeing because I was like, okay, I can go be who I am on the weekends You know, sort of the image that I'm putting up as a business guy in New York.

01:12:21.000 But you were thrust into this sort of, you know, not voluntarily.

01:12:27.000 So we've got to make sure that we allow others to be able to To live.

01:12:33.000 To not be put in the gulags.

01:12:35.000 We gotta make sure that people are not afraid.

01:12:38.000 Literally the theme of Triggered in this podcast is collectively we have to become unafraid. 0.99

01:12:44.000 If they put you out there, if they put me out there alone, if they put my father, when he was the President of the United States, out there alone, You can cancel the shit out of that guy. 0.97

01:12:53.000 It doesn't matter if he's the most powerful man in the world. 0.99

01:12:55.000 We saw it. They shut down his freaking Twitter account. 0.99

01:12:58.000 Sitting U.S. president. 0.99

01:12:59.000 Hamas, you know, the Ayatollah, you know, like the world's leading state sponsor of terror, the head of that regime. 0.89

01:13:06.000 Oh, they're fine. Good people.

01:13:08.000 They're fine. They're wonderful people, just like the mother who's a domestic terrorist, but the actual domestic terrorist that, you know, burned down America in the summer of 2020, whether it was, you know, Kenosha or elsewhere, they...

01:13:19.000 Those are good people.

01:13:21.000 We understand they're doing it for social justice purposes.

01:13:24.000 Because, you know, looting the Gucci store, nothing screams social justice like, you know, Gucci sleds and a purse.

01:13:31.000 But that's what we're up against.

01:13:32.000 So, guys, keep following this young man.

01:13:36.000 Support him.

01:13:37.000 Because, again, if they can do it to him, they can do it to anyone if they will do it to you.

01:13:43.000 And, again, perhaps that's even the bigger threshold. 0.98

01:13:45.000 Like if they'll take a kid 17 years old and ruin his fucking life and try and try to throw him in jail for life They'll do it to anyone. 0.99

01:13:56.000 They've shown that. 0.99

01:13:57.000 So, you know, we've got to band together.

01:14:00.000 We've got to make sure this stuff doesn't happen.

01:14:01.000 We have to make sure there's accountability.

01:14:03.000 And I guess that's what I'm worried about is that there's not accountability.

01:14:07.000 You know, on the gun rights issue, you know, support, what was it, GOA and...

01:14:12.000 National Association of Gun Rights.

01:14:14.000 Yeah. Support those guys because when it happens to you, Those are the guys that are going to step up.

01:14:20.000 We have to support those who are willing to fight with us. 0.81

01:14:23.000 That's why I say, again, for this show, when I have GoldCo stepping up to sponsor it, I'm like, that takes balls.

01:14:31.000 There's people going to be out there trying to cancel me daily.

01:14:34.000 So go to DonJrGold.com.

01:14:37.000 Support those guys. Even if you're just looking.

01:14:39.000 If you're looking to diversify your portfolio, go check out Patriot Mobile.

01:14:42.000 You get free activation code with code DonJr.

01:14:46.000 You can give your money...

01:14:47.000 You're going to have a cell phone one way or the other.

01:14:49.000 You're going to have investments one way or the other. 1.00

01:14:51.000 Like, take the time to find the people who don't hate your fucking guts. 0.99

01:14:57.000 And support them. Because that's what we're in. 1.00

01:14:59.000 The other side's got plenty of people that support them.

01:15:01.000 I mean, look at Disney pushing all the woke... 0.99

01:15:03.000 I mean... You're doing your children a huge disservice supporting these companies because they're going to keep jamming this stuff down their throats.

01:15:10.000 They're literally creating racism as far as I'm concerned.

01:15:15.000 They're creating places where, again, if you fit certain demographics, you should be uncomfortable.

01:15:19.000 You must repent for the rest of your life.

01:15:23.000 I'm guilty of all of these things.

01:15:25.000 I should pay reparations even if my parents and grandparents came here in, what, 1904?

01:15:30.000 You know, long after slavery.

01:15:32.000 I still, you know, they were Eastern European peasants, but, you know, hey, I'm guilty of it somehow magically. 1.00

01:15:38.000 I guess by association because that's how the science works.

01:15:42.000 We got to be out there.

01:15:43.000 Anyone else that these guys can support or start following so they can keep track and they can encourage and make sure that something actually happens?

01:15:53.000 Follow your local politicians, state senators, congressmen, congresswomen.

01:15:58.000 Follow them. Push them. 0.93

01:16:00.000 Put pressure on them. Put pressure on them.

01:16:02.000 And by the way, run. Yeah, run for office.

01:16:04.000 Run. I'm not going to do it, but. You know, some of these things, and I don't mean run for Senate or Congress.

01:16:10.000 Run for your local school board.

01:16:13.000 Absolutely. Get this shit out of the curriculums. 1.00

01:16:15.000 I'm looking at these rainbow-haired colored freaks that don't have kids, have no intention to do it, feel like they're way disproportionately lunatics relative to sort of the mix of the children in their school, and yet, They seem really into getting into these things and inflicting their political views in those systems, imposing them on our children. 1.00

01:16:40.000 I think the most important position we could ever run for is the school board. 0.66

01:16:44.000 Again, Patriot Mobile did a great job of that.

01:16:46.000 They ran people and helped support people in parts of Texas, and they got rid of some of these leftists on these school boards, and then they're vilified in the Patriot Mobile.

01:16:54.000 Activist organization? Wait, you mean the activists pushing trans shit on your children? 0.99

01:16:58.000 They weren't activists, but like a Christian conservative company saying that, I don't know, maybe in a predominantly Christian conservative district we would have people who actually share those values? 0.99

01:17:08.000 We can do a lot. We just have to take two seconds to actually find these people and get involved.

01:17:14.000 So those are the ones.

01:17:16.000 Watch these things.

01:17:17.000 That's what the other side has done really well.

01:17:19.000 They've subverted that process. 0.58

01:17:20.000 You don't want to really get involved in that.

01:17:22.000 You've got a job. You don't have time for that.

01:17:23.000 We'll take care of it. We'll do the right thing by your kids.

01:17:26.000 And look at our public school system. 1.00

01:17:28.000 It's a fucking disaster. I mean, if I ever have kids, I would never send them to public school because I don't think kids should be learning. 0.99

01:17:36.000 You almost don't have a choice. You couldn't.

01:17:39.000 You need some private schools nowadays.

01:17:41.000 By the way, it's almost just as bad.

01:17:44.000 I mean, I'm pushing for homeschooling.

01:17:46.000 Put them in sports so they're getting the socialization stuff.

01:17:50.000 But, like, take the time and figure it out.

01:17:52.000 And, again, I... It's easy for me, right?

01:17:54.000 I get it. I'm the son of a billionaire.

01:17:56.000 Like, I understand that it...

01:17:58.000 Fine, I'll put them into private school. I'll find the school that's right.

01:18:00.000 It's not easy for everyone else to do it, but like...

01:18:02.000 Man, like, you know, don't buy the whatever knowledge.

01:18:06.000 Like, take the time.

01:18:08.000 This is your children. Like, there's no more important cause.

01:18:11.000 And I get that it can be brutal.

01:18:13.000 I get that it can be tough.

01:18:14.000 But, like, figure out the way.

01:18:16.000 Find the programs where you can do this.

01:18:18.000 Find the, you know, whatever it may be.

01:18:20.000 Like, don't just settle.

01:18:22.000 And some places you have to.

01:18:23.000 And there's probably a couple districts where there's, you know, decent public schools and they haven't gone this way.

01:18:28.000 But watch because the trend is there.

01:18:30.000 They've taken over all of those institutions.

01:18:34.000 And yeah, we gotta get involved in that.

01:18:35.000 So I hope you do have kids one day, and I hope you do this, but yes, I think your children would be vilified, even if it's 10 years down the road, for being your children, just like mine would be, for having their last name.

01:18:45.000 Yep, absolutely. That's what the left do, is they villainize people, even the innocent, and that's what they do.

01:18:52.000 Well, Kyle, it's awesome having you on here, man.

01:18:55.000 I'm sorry you had to get involved in this stuff, but if it were to happen to someone, I'm glad it happened to someone of your character, of your willingness to fight back, to not just roll over in a corner and die, which is what they would love for you.

01:19:12.000 They would love your public enemy number one to them because you had the guts to Defend yourself, not just then, but since.

01:19:22.000 And it's not easy. 0.94

01:19:23.000 It takes balls. I really appreciate you doing it, and it's awesome to have you here.

01:19:27.000 Anything we can do to do it, just stay in touch.

01:19:30.000 And like I said, guys, I'll help let you guys know what happens and when, because we are up against a machine.

01:19:37.000 I can be Donald Trump Jr.

01:19:38.000 It's nothing. Thank you very much.

01:19:56.000 Great having you on again.

01:19:58.000 Thank you. Okay, guys.

01:20:01.000 Do what you can to support Kyle.

01:20:03.000 I think that's a huge, huge thing.

01:20:07.000 What he's going through is absolute hell.

01:20:10.000 I want to thank you guys for tuning in.

01:20:13.000 I'm on the road, so I'm going to try to tune in to locals and just try to time it out right live now.

01:20:19.000 So if you're on there, go check me out there.

01:21:20.000 Consistent theme here, folks.

01:21:21.000 Thank you guys for all the support.

01:21:23.000 Really actually enjoying doing the show.

01:21:25.000 It's been a lot of fun. You know, yesterday, because it's airing on Thursday, I guess it's still Wednesday where I'm at right now as I'm filming this because I'm going to be on the road tomorrow.

01:21:35.000 I'm going to try to join live for locals.

01:21:37.000 But just amazing, amazing stuff.

01:21:41.000 I mean, this is why we do it.

01:21:42.000 You know, whether it's for the people of East Palestine, whether it's to maybe try to help give a voice to a guy like Kyle, who I think probably any one of us could have been when we were 17 and, you know, in our late teens and seeing...

01:21:56.000 People burning down our cities and looting and rioting and just disgusting crap that we saw that was deemed by our media and the left as, you know, these are cultural warriors and they're defending liberty and justice. 0.98

01:22:11.000 It's all bullshit, folks. 1.00

01:22:13.000 All of it was bullshit. 1.00

01:22:15.000 They've been lying to you about everything. 1.00

01:22:17.000 You, I think, know that now.

01:22:19.000 But, you know, there's not many people that will fight for guys like Kyle or even give him a platform.

01:22:25.000 So hopefully I can do that for Kyle and I can do that for others.

01:22:28.000 And hopefully as we grow this thing, we can do even more.

01:22:32.000 So I really appreciate your guys' support.

01:22:34.000 Check out our sponsors because, you know, again, it's important to share and support those who support your values.

01:22:41.000 Also, share this with your friends, okay?

01:22:44.000 If you like the show, if you think it's funny, if you think I'm...

01:22:48.000 Perhaps even somewhat amusing.

01:22:49.000 Share it with your friends. Obviously there's a lot of content out there.

01:22:52.000 Hopefully we're doing better than most and hopefully I'll say things that others won't.

01:22:56.000 Or maybe I'll say it more funnily or in a better way.

01:23:01.000 But I appreciate you guys doing this.

01:23:03.000 Appreciate you guys checking it out.

01:23:04.000 Appreciate you guys sharing it and just appreciate you in general, which is why we're doing it.

01:23:08.000 Thank you so much, guys. Have an awesome evening.

01:23:11.000 And for those of you who are in locals, I'm going to try, okay?

01:23:14.000 If I can't do it, I'm on the road.

01:23:17.000 If I get screwed up in trends, I'm going to literally try to do 15, 20 minutes just from my phone.

01:23:22.000 Go switch over to there now.

01:23:23.000 I'm going to try to time it out so that works.

01:23:27.000 And I'll see you there.

01:23:28.000 If I don't see you there, I'll see you there on Monday.
