Kyle Rittenhouse, the son of a police officer, is back in the news as the family of one of the people he shot was acquitted, and another one went in total self-defense, despite the attempts at witness tampering and jury tampering that you saw from the media, trying to intimidate the jury into not making a decision. We re going to hear who was with him, who was not, and who left him in the dust. It s an amazing story, and an amazing way to learn how to support a man who was actually stepping up in the Second Amendment space. I got to go with my father to visit Kyle in East Palestine, Ohio, and it was an amazing trip. I m going to tell you about it, and why it s so important to support someone who doesn t need a job. Someone whose job it wasn t the turn of someone who didn t get the job because he checked the box. Someone who was a real leader, and that leader was Donald Trump. I saw him at his best. And I saw people turning out in droves. And that s what I m here to tell the story of how awesome it was to be with my dad and why I m so thankful for my dad. Triggered is a podcast that doesn t have a permanent home on the airwaves, and I m not going to stop talking about it until it s all over the internet. .

00:00:44.000Great 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.
00:00:58.000Now he's back in the news as the family of one of the people he shot and another one went in total self-defense.
00:01:06.000again, acquitted by a jury, despite the attempts at, frankly, witness tampering and jury tampering
00:01:13.000that you saw from the media, trailing a jury, trying to, in my opinion, intimidate them
00:03:07.000Joe Biden, Pete Buttigieg, you know, our illustrious transportation secretary.
00:03:12.000Again, 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.
00:03:18.000And 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.
00:03:28.000Unfortunately, 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.
00:03:51.000It's a shame that there's white construction workers working.
00:03:55.000Obviously, our Chernobyl, a toxic, a toxic trail derailment, along with like nine others this week, it feels like, you know, all under his watch.
00:04:05.000But that's okay. He wants to take some personal time.
00:04:09.000He hasn't had a chance to go to East Palestine, but he's taking some personal time.
00:04:15.000He 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.
00:04:23.000So it was really awesome to actually land in East Palestine with a leader.
00:04:43.000I saw, you know, people turning out in droves.
00:04:47.000Again, 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.
00:05:01.000I mean, we've talked about it already, but you know, Donald Trump just announcing that he was going to go.
00:05:16.000He'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.
00:05:59.000And, you know, I got a little bit of, I sort of took some video along the way.
00:06:02.000So I apologize that this isn't professionally done.
00:06:06.000It 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.
00:06:14.000And it doesn't stand out any better than today.
00:06:18.000Where these hard-working Americans were the forgotten man and woman, yet again, for almost three weeks.
00:06:26.000Just, 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.
00:06:41.000It'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.
00:07:03.000That'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.
00:07:16.000I mean, not knowing if that's affecting your children or your families or your homes.
00:07:21.000We'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.
00:07:31.000Literally started, like, they had to order a new one.
00:07:34.000That much damage it took on that rapidly.
00:07:37.000So 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.
00:07:52.000That's why we're doing it for those people.
00:07:54.000Seeing 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...
00:08:07.000That'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.
00:08:24.000I mean, this is what America's all about.
00:08:55.000In 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?
00:09:06.000Because 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...
00:09:17.000Guys, there's no one in this McDonald's that understands and knows the McDonald's menu better than Donald Trump.
00:09:38.000But 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.
00:09:51.000And man, that's all these people want.
00:09:56.000You had Congressman Johnson was there.
00:09:58.000My good friend, Ohio Senator J.D. Vance.
00:10:01.000How are those guys – they only sort of saw it national level or certainly highest – they're there, but where's the Biden administration?
00:10:11.000J.D. Vance was great meeting with the people.
00:10:13.000He's going to be pushing for things to make sure they get – What they need.
00:10:18.000And it feels like everyone else in the world who doesn't pay our taxes, they're getting what they need.
00:10:23.000Remember, Joe Biden's going to pay for the pensions of the people in Ukraine who've been displaced.
00:10:28.000What about the people in East Palestine?
00:10:30.000What about like Americans with like unfunded pension liability when their companies go, we don't care about them.
00:10:38.000You know? There were no fake air raid sirens during Trump's visit in East Palestine.
00:10:44.000There 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.
00:10:53.000Otherwise, he wouldn't have been there.
00:10:54.000I can assure you I understand how that works.
00:10:56.000But 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.
00:11:05.000I've been here for five days. We haven't heard a single air raid siren.
00:11:17.000They lied to you about COVID. They lied to you about Russia, Russia, Russia.
00:11:21.000You don't think they're lying to you about this?
00:11:23.000Just like magically, they're all upset that January 6th videos are coming out.
00:11:27.000And in one day, we found all sorts of contradictory evidence.
00:11:31.000Strange. The Democrats never leaked that.
00:11:33.000Huh, 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?
00:11:40.000So, again, for me, an honor just to be a fly on the wall, just to be able to see these people shake their hands.
00:11:52.000It'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.
00:12:04.000Showing them that there's hope that they still have some representation.
00:12:07.000But listen, check it out for yourself.
00:12:10.000Put together a little montage of just my experience throughout the day.
00:12:15.000Then we'll get back and we'll be talking with Kyle Rittenhouse and I think you guys will really like it.
00:12:22.000Well, 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.
00:12:32.000I'm getting ready to board Trump Force One.
00:13:27.000And until someone else steps up who's willing to actually do that, someone's going to have to fill that void.
00:13:32.000So, welcome aboard Trump Force One, folks.
00:13:36.000Okay, guys. Give you a little tour of Trump Force One, just so when people understand...
00:13:43.000Walking away from some of this lifestyle to deal with politics, to deal with the presidency.
00:13:47.000You've seen Mar-a-Lago, you've seen all of that.
00:13:49.000It wasn't so bad before, but I think it shows exactly why My father got into this in the first place.
00:13:58.000You 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.
00:14:07.000They've been forgotten by our leaders.
00:14:10.000Honestly, the news of the day, every day, We see more and more of that.
00:14:15.000The great example, obviously, is Joe Biden visiting Ukraine, promising, you know, probably trillions more in a proxy war with a nuclear power.
00:14:23.000Russia pulls out of the arms treaty to not to regulate the amount of nuclear weapons that can be deployed.
00:14:31.000With a brilliant mind like Joe Biden leading the charge, what could possibly go wrong?
00:14:35.000That's why someone who's actually experienced real success out of politics, not so easy to walk away from that.
00:14:41.000Not so easy to walk away from that knowing exactly what happens when you get to the swamp.
00:14:46.000And 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.
00:15:00.000So maybe I'll take you on a quick tour of Trump Force One before we get underway.
00:15:04.000Not 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.
00:15:12.000It's just awesome to be on the ground here and meet with some real Americans.
00:15:20.000What's going on guys? Here with my good buddy and incredible new senator from the state of Ohio, J.D. Vance.
00:15:27.000We're in East Palestine. He's looking after his constituents, doing an incredible job.
00:15:31.000What 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.
00:15:37.000Unfortunately, the federal government wasn't doing a whole lot.
00:15:40.000And 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.
00:15:49.000I think it's a great thing, but we can't forget about these people.
00:15:51.000We're going to have to stay on top of this issue for the long term.
00:15:54.000We're on it, so thanks for all you're doing, man.
00:17:19.000I hope you get a little glimpse, a little taste.
00:17:22.000And 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.
00:17:29.000But he's doing it for the right reasons.
00:17:32.000So, you know, it was just awesome to be a part of it.
00:17:35.000Just super psyched to have been able to be there myself.
00:17:40.000Whenever there's something like that, if we can bring some attention to it, just let us know.
00:18:33.000I 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.
00:18:47.000And I should eat healthier, but I don't.
00:18:50.000And oftentimes I don't have an option and or I'm too lazy and I make excuses for not doing it.
00:18:54.000So 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.
00:19:00.000It 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.
00:19:11.000So, I take Field of Greens, and I'll tell you why.
00:19:15.000Unlike 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.
00:19:43.000The boiled down nonsense that doesn't do anything has just been diluted.
00:19:47.000Field of Greens is just a perfect portion of organic fruits and vegetables ground into a fine powder.
00:19:54.000They'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.
00:20:04.000It's made in the US. And what's great is that it's good for everyone in the family.
00:20:10.000They're huge supporters of our troops and our first responders.
00:20:13.000One of the founders brothers is active duty military.
00:20:35.000You'll feel better. You're still going to look better, healthier.
00:20:38.000And to help you get started, we're going to get 15% off your first order, plus you'll get another 10% off your order if you subscribe to recurring orders.
00:20:48.000So visit fieldofgreens.com and use promo code DONJUR. This is becoming a consistent theme here.
00:21:02.000I think you'll love it. It's going to make you feel better.
00:21:05.000And if you go to your next doctor visit and they don't say something like, whatever you're doing, keep it up, you can return it for a full refund.
00:23:13.000And we're just really excited about this one.
00:23:15.000Now going to go live with Kyle Rittenhouse, a guy that's been run through the ringer, put through...
00:23:24.000Frankly, 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.
00:23:32.000A true example of being guilty before having to prove your innocence.
00:23:39.000Not innocent until proven guilty like what used to be in America.
00:23:44.000But Kyle's been put through the ringer.
00:23:46.000We'll talk about who was there to help him, who sort of conveniently just, eh, it's not really my problem.
00:23:53.000What 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.
00:24:01.000Remember, this is like a teenage kid put through the ringer.
00:24:05.000He 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.
00:24:28.000You know, they were... Just, you know, social justice warriors, because nothing says social justice like stealing and looting a store, right, folks?
00:24:36.000You know, that doesn't go against the narrative.
00:24:38.000But 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?
00:24:50.000Let'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.
00:24:59.000That's worked out so well in the rest of the world.
00:25:28.000Ladies and gentlemen, welcome Kyle Rittenhouse.
00:25:32.000What's going on, guys? Welcome back to a new episode of Triggered.
00:25:36.000Tonight we have a really special guest.
00:25:38.000We have Kyle Rittenhouse. Many of you have heard about the plight.
00:25:40.000You'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.
00:25:56.000We're going to talk about everything as it relates to that case.
00:25:59.000We'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.
00:26:20.000I was really excited to sort of see the verdict when it came out.
00:26:26.000It 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.
00:26:32.000What I've seen since we got sort of immersed in this world was that you can't really get a fair shake.
00:26:38.000So even something as obvious to anyone in America, you were up against so much.
00:26:45.000What was that like when you're sitting there waiting for that verdict, fighting for your life?
00:28:42.000Now, like, bear in mind, you're testifying for your life.
00:28:45.000LeBron is like a crying bitch if someone gives him, like, a No, no.
00:28:49.000I mean, in all fairness, like, every time he does, oh, my God!
00:28:51.000I 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.
00:29:17.000Um... You're up against, you know, the entire left.
00:29:22.000You're used as a fulcrum point in an election to make a narrative.
00:29:28.000What 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?
00:29:40.000It was crazy to see the machine of the media and politicians.
00:29:45.000Like, look at Sleepy Joe. He used me in his campaign ad.
00:29:48.000White supremacist, my face right there.
00:29:53.000The President of the United States, Vice President, used that in his ad.
00:29:59.000Unacceptable. You should not be able to do that.
00:30:01.000Just to win an election, and then the media called me a white supremacist, a murderer, a vigilante.
00:30:09.000Well, they tried creating that story, right?
00:30:11.000You know, you're obviously a murderer.
00:33:03.000I mean, you, you know, we saw, you know, Nick Sandman, right?
00:33:07.000You 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.
00:33:15.000I mean, he actually went after these people and sued them and won some victories.
00:33:21.000I mean, I feel like you should be in that same position.
00:33:24.000You're a 17-year-old kid thrust into that position.
00:33:37.000And what would you tell other people about that plight and how to push back?
00:33:44.000Well, speaking of Nick Sandman, me and him have the same lawyer for defamation.
00:33:49.000So I'm going to be going after these people, but there's a lot that goes into it.
00:33:52.000It costs a lot of money to sue somebody.
00:33:55.000And 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.
00:34:07.000So we have to look at all those factors before we file them and make sure we file them in the right place.
00:34:13.000And 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.
00:34:30.000Andy 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.
00:34:38.000And apparently Twitter, even Twitter 2.0, which seems to be getting worse than Twitter 1.0, I don't know what happened.
00:34:43.000There 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.
00:34:51.000And 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.
00:34:58.000But a journalist like him, who's been reporting on Antifa violence, which you know a lot about, Yeah.
00:35:09.000The lunatics the same lunatics that were there in Wisconsin that night with you
00:35:14.000I noticed that a lot especially like on Instagram, especially like I have no engagement almost
00:35:20.000Yeah and I noticed that somebody will post something for truth
00:35:25.000and it'll be about like the left or a violent organization and then they'll just
00:35:29.000Get shadow banned or their account will get suspended And I'm like, how is that possible?
00:35:34.000Section 230 of the Communication Decency Act prohibits to take down things.
00:35:39.000They can take down whatever they want, but unless it's newsworthy.
00:35:42.000Correct. It seems like this would be relevant, given that it was used as a fulcrum point in the presidential election.
00:35:48.000It seems like it would be violation of Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act.
00:35:52.000So, 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.
00:36:05.000We saw last week, you know, the Twitter testimony where they're clearly, you know, censoring people, you know, members of Congress.
00:36:15.000The same people who are the arbiters of truth and decency seem to be pushing, like, pedophile shit.
00:36:19.000Like, 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?
00:36:28.000Those were the people At the time, they were the arbiters of truth.
00:36:32.000Those were the people that were the arbiters of decency.
00:36:35.000They 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.
00:36:42.000They obviously were probably censoring you or anyone like myself who'd be defending you in all of this.
00:36:50.000Have you spoken to any of those people?
00:36:51.000Are they going to do anything about it, or is it just lip service as well?
00:37:17.000Exactly. I just don't know how, like, sometimes I lose hope Like, thinking, okay, so the left owns all these platforms.
00:37:29.000Like, 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.
00:37:42.000Yeah, I think, like, even if he wanted to do something about it, which I think he probably does...
00:37:47.000There's so many people working against him.
00:37:49.000It's sort of like what you're dealing with in the media.
00:39:13.000No, that's wrong. I'm saying it's my opinion.
00:39:15.000I literally put in disclaimers and people are like, oh, that's a funny disclaimer.
00:39:18.000I'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.
00:39:32.000It's designed to make a point, and they fact check you.
00:39:35.000They 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.
00:39:48.000I see that a lot with the fact checking.
00:39:50.000I 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.
00:40:03.000Meaning it's not a fact check one way or the other.
00:40:06.000It's just subjective, but they're saying this is right.
00:40:09.000I've been fact checked with things that are just flagrantly wrong.
00:40:12.000They're like, here. Most of the time, I fight each and every one of them.
00:40:15.000And you can make them all go away, but I think To the point of we have to engage, the apathy.
00:40:21.000When people are like, eh, whatever, it's just a fact check on my thing.
00:40:24.000No, no, no. That's what they use to limit your reach.
00:40:27.000That'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.
00:40:38.000Magically, they end up there, so they're getting that extra sort of boost in engagement.
00:40:42.000But 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.
00:41:04.000If 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?
00:41:10.000You have the same problem with sort of Google.
00:41:11.000You know, Wikipedia is sort of the fact check organization of, you know, of the internet.
00:41:20.000I 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.
00:41:46.000You know, do you want to stay out there fighting for the cause?
00:41:50.000Would you love to be able to just go back to the way it was beforehand?
00:41:53.000You know, what's the plan for the future?
00:41:56.000Well, 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.
00:42:06.000But I used to want to just go back and be quiet and not be in the spotlight, but I realized I have a voice.
00:42:15.000I have a platform that I can use for good.
00:42:17.000I can push the agenda that I think is right.
00:42:21.000I can push my politics that I like and hopefully see positive change in my platform.
00:43:18.000I mean, that's why I think, again, we've got to support the platforms That support that kind of free speech.
00:43:25.000Are there places where people can donate to help you out in this plight, whether it be to go after the other guys?
00:43:30.000You'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?
00:43:50.000And again, how do people support you in that fight?
00:43:53.000You can go to www.givesengo.com forward slash Kyle Rittenhouse to help me fight this lawsuit.
00:44:00.000And what people don't realize is he hit me on the skateboard twice already.
00:44:04.000As I was running down Sheridan Road to get to the police, he hit me once with a skateboard.
00:44:09.000Then 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.
00:44:38.000They 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?
00:44:46.000Like, 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?
00:44:54.000What do you think there? I think it's a well-funded law firm that's coming after me.
00:45:00.000I think it's an attack on gun owners and people who use self-defense on the civil side.
00:45:06.000I 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.
00:45:18.000I think that's what they're trying to do and I think they're trying to use me as an example in that case.
00:45:22.000So talk about that a little bit. Obviously, you said you never want to glorify the loss of life.
00:45:25.000I've heard you say these quotes, and I think that's 100% right.
00:45:28.000But what are your thoughts now on the Second Amendment?
00:46:11.000And I see a lot of states taking over on that.
00:46:13.000And 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.
00:46:22.000The 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.
00:46:31.000And, you know, when seconds count, you know, that thought process shouldn't have to go through your head.
00:46:38.000Obviously, you've got to keep it legal.
00:46:39.000It's got to be real. You can't just go off taking punch shots at you.
00:46:43.000But what I saw them try to do in vilifying you was like...
00:46:50.000I 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.
00:47:11.000The amount of sort of good guys with a gun that stop a crime that just gets not reported as that.
00:47:18.000Have you seen that? Have you been able to look into some of these things?
00:47:21.000But it was so... I mean, it was so glaring to me that that's the one thing that they, you know...
00:47:26.000White supremacy is the number one threat in America.
00:47:28.000No one knows anyone where this is actually a thing.
00:47:31.000I'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.
00:47:53.000That good guys with guns actually stopped a lot of crimes or a lot of bad things from actually happening.
00:48:26.000A good guy with a gun. I think he got a little bit of media coverage.
00:48:29.000Well, 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.
00:48:37.000Yeah, of course he's a leftist. It's just like the guy that ran through the Christmas parade.
00:50:30.000And 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.
00:50:38.000I'm like... Wait, I'm like, this is the perfect example of what you're supposed to stand for.
00:50:42.000So 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.
00:50:52.000They wanted to take a selfie. They want to put it on Instagram.
00:50:55.000They want to put it on their other things.
00:50:56.000They 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?
00:51:04.000Yeah, so it was a little weird because I wasn't there for them.
00:51:09.000I 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.
00:51:16.000Nice. Yeah, so they'll block that out conveniently.
00:53:11.000Like, that's like their dream candidate these days.
00:53:14.000I mean, you see that the, you know, no different than Twitter, right?
00:53:18.000Like, of course you can have child porn and kiddie porn all over Twitter, but, like, you can't have a congresswoman say something conservative.
00:53:25.000Like, fuck that. We gotta just, we gotta ban that.
00:53:27.000I mean... Talk about that a little bit.
00:53:29.000I mean, because you didn't know this at the time.
00:53:31.000You wouldn't. You were defending your life at the time.
00:53:33.000I think anyone with a brain watching that video.
00:53:36.000But, like, these are the people that try to say, no, no, no, that guy's a better guy than you.
00:53:45.000No one talks about why you were there even in the first place to begin with.
00:53:48.000Again, cleaning up graffiti and, you know, there with a med kit.
00:53:53.000Yeah, 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.
00:54:01.000They wanted to report on everything I've done wrong.
00:54:04.000What did they say about your background?
00:54:06.000I had a couple speeding tickets and...
00:54:10.000Cancel the interview. I mean, you're canceled.
00:54:13.000But let me think about that. You had a couple speeding tickets.
00:54:15.000Anything else? I don't know if you remember, there's some other drama, but there was not much.
00:54:22.000Of course there's drama. Listen, we've all probably, you're 17 at the time, maybe you said something stupid on Twitter.
00:54:27.000Like 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.
00:54:34.000If you're a conservative, we saw that with some of the athletes, right?
00:54:43.000Couple little things that most young, I thank God every day, like I'm older than you by a lot.
00:54:49.000I thank God every day that like I didn't have a video camera.
00:54:54.000In 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.
00:55:09.000I 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.
00:55:20.000There was no harm, no foul. Like, it was never intended that it was kids being kids.
00:56:56.000Yeah, 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.
00:57:06.000I see this every single day, every time there's a mass shooting.
00:57:09.000I'm always trending on Twitter when there's something that happens and they're always comparing me to them.
00:57:15.000They're saying, this is another Kyle Rittenhouse, they're going to get the Kyle Rittenhouse treatment.
00:57:18.000There's no such thing as the Kyle Rittenhouse treatment.
00:57:21.000I got acquitted because I did nothing wrong, people.
00:57:23.000Well, no, there is Kyle Rittenhouse treatment.
00:57:26.000It'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.
00:57:36.000You're a young white male who believes in the Second Amendment.
00:57:38.000You're a Trump supporter. You're the person they want to throw in the gulags, whether you did anything or not.
00:57:44.000I mean, if you look at January 6th, I liken a lot to that, right?
00:57:48.000There were people who did violent things that should get in trouble.
00:57:51.000There are also those who walk through, you know, they're taking selfies in between the velvet ropes doing nothing.
00:57:55.000They've been in jail for two years with no due process, no nothing.
00:57:58.000Look at a guy who just recently got the shit beat out of him in jail.
00:58:03.000I forget his name. I was just, I heard the story the other day.
00:58:07.000Like, doctors are refusing to see him.
00:58:09.000I don't know if you've heard of this one.
00:58:10.000I haven't. But apparently, like, he had, I'm trying to think.
00:58:15.000I was just talking about it with my girlfriend the other day.
00:58:18.000Like he had his brain damage or something.
00:58:23.000And they won't see him because of his political views?
00:58:25.000Something 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.
00:58:34.000But I think it shows you that's what we're up against.
00:58:38.000And so that's why I love that there are people that helped you.
00:58:43.000I'm shocked that there are others that didn't.
00:58:46.000But 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.
00:58:56.000The idea of you is to put you in jail to stop anyone ever from doing this.
00:59:00.000Like, I don't know, maybe I won't buy a gun.
00:59:02.000You see the laws that they're putting in place.
00:59:04.000The ATF now with the pistol brace nonsense.
00:59:07.000They made a law. Millions of—they made it.
00:59:10.000It wasn't like they just weren't sure and they haven't voted it.
00:59:14.000And 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.
00:59:28.000You know, that attack is never-ending.
00:59:33.000I haven't read much on that pistol brace law, so what the ATF is saying is the pistol brace thing for your AR pistol.
00:59:40.000Yes, and now it's an SBR. It's a short-barreled rifle, for those who understand.
00:59:43.000So 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.
00:59:51.000And now they're saying the law that they made it after millions of people...
00:59:54.000Didn't they make the braces? No, but they actually came up with the idea.
00:59:58.000Listen, there are laws that, you know, I say the most creative people in the world is the American redneck.
01:00:04.000You give them a rule, they'll figure out a way around it and whatever it is, right?
01:00:09.000And I think it's great. I mean, it's sort of part of America.
01:00:13.000They actually crafted this law to come up with something, and now they're basically changing it.
01:00:19.000And they're saying, you know, you either have to destroy the gun, you have to turn it in, you have to register it.
01:00:24.000But, like, why'd you make that law in the first place?
01:00:27.000And 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.
01:00:37.000Yeah, and I think we as citizens need to put pressure on our elected officials.
01:00:42.000We need to say, hey, stand up against these leftists and fight for what's right.
01:01:40.000And 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.
01:01:51.000They're saying they're waiving some of these things, but to me it's a de facto way of forcing people
01:02:43.000What do you think they're going to feel?
01:02:44.000The brass. Again, the door kickers, I think, are totally with us.
01:02:47.000But the brass, who's become such a bureaucracy...
01:02:52.000The 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.
01:03:01.000True, right? You know, Joe Biden's a wonderful guy.
01:03:04.000He's done a great job. We're failing across the board, but he's wonderful.
01:03:07.000Trump, where you're winning across the board is terrible for what reasons?
01:03:10.000We don't know, but do as I say, not as I do.
01:03:13.000Just listen. You know, but those are the guys going to be enforcing this.
01:03:17.000They thought a concerned mother's a domestic terrorist.
01:03:23.000Do 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?
01:03:42.000So 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.
01:03:54.000Doesn't even have to be any probable cause.
01:03:57.000Law 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.
01:04:06.000Well, and sort of what you're facing, right?
01:04:24.000So the reality is many people wouldn't be able to even fight that battle.
01:04:29.000They're just forced to sort of lose right off the bat because they can't fight back.
01:04:33.000I mean, hey, you're dealing with some of that yourself, right?
01:04:35.000To 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...
01:04:44.000A legal acquittal in a court of law, you're not sure you can even go after them.
01:04:52.000You're a 17-year-old kid, but they're saying, well, you're a public figure now.
01:04:57.000That's bullshit, but they'll weaponize that.
01:04:59.000And 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.
01:05:09.000I 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.
01:05:20.000Even though you were acquitted, which means you were in the eyes of a jury in America.
01:05:24.000I guess they thought you were innocent.
01:06:11.000That was clearly, to me, part of what they were trying to do.
01:06:16.000Intimidate 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.
01:06:26.000Yeah, I mean, that reminds me of a story.
01:06:29.000Do you know MSNBC followed the jury van?
01:06:31.000Do you remember that story during my trial?
01:06:32.000They chased down the jury van trying to get photos of the jurors to dox them.
01:06:37.000You could hear the protesters out in the courtroom during my trial, and the jury just had to tune it out.
01:06:47.000I 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.
01:07:04.000In my opinion, they were trying to create a race war and or utilize that to get the conviction that they wanted.
01:07:11.000And that, to me, was one of the most disgusting things I'd ever seen.
01:07:54.000I was led to believe that they were this.
01:07:57.000I didn't realize you were there cleaning up graffiti beforehand, and you weren't there...
01:08:02.000Starting 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.
01:08:30.000You know, he's made billions. It was one of the most sophisticated stuff in the world.
01:08:33.000And he's like, I consider myself an informed guy.
01:08:36.000And what he ended up saying was, it's sort of interesting because, and this is him, he goes, I've been...
01:08:45.000In newspapers for decades, and I'm reading about the business deals, and I'm laughing about how stupid it is, how inaccurate it is.
01:08:53.000And 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.
01:09:02.000He 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.
01:09:10.000He goes, what I should really be thinking is that the same bullshit that is about me is probably going on in this article.
01:09:16.000And, you know, so I was watching that, and I go, wait a minute.
01:09:21.000Now, 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.
01:09:33.000I 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...
01:09:50.000Yeah, 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.
01:10:09.000So, what do you do, what can our people do to help you hold these people accountable?
01:10:28.000Come give me a follow, and I'll be posting updates as I go along.
01:10:31.000Because that's the thing. People want to know, and again, you're early in this process.
01:10:36.000So don't give up on the process, guys.
01:10:38.000This 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.
01:10:48.000Because 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?
01:10:56.000But more importantly, who won't they do it to?
01:10:59.000I've been saying this about me sort of indirectly for years.
01:11:16.000Do 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?
01:11:49.000My dad was going to do what he was going to do.
01:11:51.000People were like, did you sit down with your dad?
01:11:53.000I was like, no, no. DJT is DJT. He's going to do what he wants, but I chose to engage.
01:11:59.000I 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.
01:12:08.000Maybe not because of DJT, but it doesn't really matter.
01:12:10.000I didn't care. Those were never really my people to begin with.
01:12:12.000For 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.
01:12:21.000But you were thrust into this sort of, you know, not voluntarily.
01:12:27.000So we've got to make sure that we allow others to be able to To live.
01:12:35.000We gotta make sure that people are not afraid.
01:12:38.000Literally the theme of Triggered in this podcast is collectively we have to become unafraid.
01:12:44.000If 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.
01:12:53.000It doesn't matter if he's the most powerful man in the world.
01:12:55.000We saw it. They shut down his freaking Twitter account.
01:13:08.000They'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...
01:14:47.000You're going to have a cell phone one way or the other.
01:14:49.000You're going to have investments one way or the other.
01:14:51.000Like, take the time to find the people who don't hate your fucking guts.
01:14:57.000And support them. Because that's what we're in.
01:14:59.000The other side's got plenty of people that support them.
01:15:01.000I mean, look at Disney pushing all the woke...
01:15:03.000I mean... You're doing your children a huge disservice supporting these companies because they're going to keep jamming this stuff down their throats.
01:15:10.000They're literally creating racism as far as I'm concerned.
01:15:15.000They're creating places where, again, if you fit certain demographics, you should be uncomfortable.
01:15:19.000You must repent for the rest of your life.
01:15:43.000Anyone 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?
01:15:53.000Follow your local politicians, state senators, congressmen, congresswomen.
01:16:13.000Absolutely. Get this shit out of the curriculums.
01:16:15.000I'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.
01:16:40.000I think the most important position we could ever run for is the school board.
01:16:44.000Again, Patriot Mobile did a great job of that.
01:16:46.000They 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.
01:16:54.000Activist organization? Wait, you mean the activists pushing trans shit on your children?
01:16:58.000They 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?
01:17:08.000We can do a lot. We just have to take two seconds to actually find these people and get involved.
01:17:28.000It'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.
01:17:36.000You almost don't have a choice. You couldn't.
01:17:39.000You need some private schools nowadays.
01:18:30.000They've taken over all of those institutions.
01:18:34.000And yeah, we gotta get involved in that.
01:18:35.000So 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.
01:18:45.000Yep, absolutely. That's what the left do, is they villainize people, even the innocent, and that's what they do.
01:18:52.000Well, Kyle, it's awesome having you on here, man.
01:18:55.000I'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.
01:19:12.000They would love your public enemy number one to them because you had the guts to Defend yourself, not just then, but since.
01:20:07.000What he's going through is absolute hell.
01:20:10.000I want to thank you guys for tuning in.

01:21:56.000People 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.
