Welcome to Triggered with Don Jr! This episode is a brief introduction to the show and the people behind it. I m so excited to be here and can t wait to continue the conversation about the insanity that is the conservative culture war. I hope you ll join me on this journey with me as we discuss what we re going to be discussing on this show, and why we re doing it. I m also excited to see where this journey takes us and can't wait to see what we do in the future. I ll be back with more episodes in the coming days and weeks. Tweet me and let me know what you thought of this episode and what you re looking forward to hearing from me in future episodes. Timestamps: 4:00 - Why I m excited to support a platform that actually stands for and believes the things that I believe 6:30 - I m the only platform that didn t throw Donald Trump off that I can think of 8:40 - I ve been a fly on the wall for the last few years 9:20 - What s going on in the culture war? 11:15 - Who s winning the culture wars? 12:00 13:30 14:40 15:00 The people who have the balls to actually put their mouth where their mouth is 16:00 What's going on? 17:00 Is the real? 18:00 Are we up against Big Tech or Big Tech? 19:00 Do you have a level IQ? 21: Is Joe Biden a third wheel? 22:10 23:15 24:00 Can we have a third-wheeler? 25:00 Should we get a third horn? 26:00 Or do I own my own horn to do it? 27:30 Do you own my horn to get a second horn to make it in the 2020 primary race? 30:00 Will I get a ticket in 2020? 35:00 My thoughts on my thoughts on Joe Biden or Not? 36:00 How do I m going to win in the primary? 31:00 Does my brain work? 37:00 I ve got a second level IQ ? 32:30 Is my brain better than yours? 39:00 A little horn to be a 3rd horn to a third or a third? 44:00 Don Jr?
00:06:13.000That notion of freedom that's so important to America.
00:06:17.000We've seen what happens on the other platforms.
00:06:20.000Every one of you knows someone that's been in Facebook jail.
00:06:24.000Oftentimes for telling the truth, probably most of the time.
00:06:28.000You know, the CDC and others owe all of your conspiracy friends a serious apology for the lies and the nonsense that's been spread.
00:06:37.000People ask, hey Don, why aren't you on YouTube?
00:06:40.000Because I don't want to build up a following, take the time to do that, get to know you guys, and wake up one morning and they cancel me because I'm upset that a dude beat chicks in sports.
00:06:49.000I don't find that to be the great, incredible accomplishment of the left.
00:06:54.000So I'm excited to support a platform that actually stands for and believes the things that I believe.
00:07:01.000Rumble's been unique in that perspective.
00:07:04.000Probably the only platform that didn't throw Donald Trump off that I can think of.
00:07:09.000The only one that believed in the ability for even the President of the United States to have free speech.
00:07:16.000To understand that maybe the leader of the free world should be able to have a platform to say what he's thinking.
00:07:23.000But if you've been watching for the last few years, you understand that that's not the case.
00:07:28.000So I'm excited to be able to be here to talk about those things, to talk about the stories that other people aren't willing to talk about, aren't able to talk about, have been bought and paid for to make sure they don't talk about And I'm also probably the guy that'll take it a little bit further than most.
00:07:48.000What's really interesting is we live in a kind of an interesting time in that it's been so ridiculous, so extreme, the level of censorship, the way people have been deplatformed.
00:08:00.000And I'm not just even talking about big tech.
00:08:03.000You know, again, everyone has their friend that's been in Facebook jail or demonetized from YouTube.
00:08:10.000And yet... We're actually at a point where I truly believe conservatives are actually winning the culture wars for the first time in recent history.
00:08:19.000Now, you've got to understand that's from a lens of what we're up against, right?
00:08:27.000A juggernaut. A multi-trillion dollar industry.
00:08:31.000An industry that is decided that they are going to be all in to be the marketing department of the radical left.
00:08:38.000We'll talk about that a little bit because I'll get into the news and I'll get in my take.
00:08:42.000For me, I think I have a unique perspective into so many of the things that we'll be talking about as we do this.
00:08:49.000Whether it's Me doing my rants, whether it's me, long-form interviews, whether it's back and forth with Kim or some of our friends in government, I've had a unique perspective in that I've been a fly on the wall for so many interesting things.
00:09:05.000I've seen What actually took place with my own eyes.
00:09:09.000And then I've seen the narrative shaped, in some cases just entirely created out of thin air, by the media, by big tech.
00:09:19.000I've seen the truth, and then I've seen what's perception.
00:09:23.000And unfortunately, we live in a world where perception is reality.
00:09:26.000So what I want to try to do with this is to have those conversations, to talk about the insanity about what's going on.
00:09:32.000I also want to talk about the people who are actually Putting their money where their mouth is.
00:09:38.000The people who have the balls to actually say what's going on.
00:09:53.000You'll figure it out in about two seconds, unless you're Joe Biden level IQ.
00:09:59.000But I've noticed it even for myself, as someone who was called up probably daily to be on
00:10:05.000some of the major conservative cable networks.
00:10:08.000And then about six months ago, that just ended.
00:10:11.000Not once in six months do you get called.
00:10:13.000Now, not to toot my own horn, but I'm a Trump, so maybe we've got to do a little bit of that.
00:10:17.000But, you know, I have numerous polls out there showing me being, you know, second or third
00:10:25.000in the 2024 Republican primary right now.
00:10:26.000And whether you want to believe that or not is totally up to you.
00:10:28.000But there's enough out there that saying, hey, I'm a real player in that.
00:10:31.000The second or third sort of depends on whether my father's in the race or not.
00:10:35.000But I could be that guy, clearly have large platforms on social despite, you know, the
00:10:43.000usual nonsense of what they're trying to do to me and what they try to do to guys like
00:10:46.000us, despite that censorship, still have that platform.
00:10:51.000And yet, to all of a sudden just go from present daily, or at least, you know, asked to be
00:10:56.000on arguably daily, but certainly weekly on some of the biggest cable news shows in the
00:11:01.000world to nothing like that, right before a major midterm election and then have no follow
00:11:09.000up after that, probably tells you all you need to know about even those outlets.
00:11:14.000So it seems that we're not even combating sort of big tech, mainstream media, but even establishment conservatism, which really isn't about the people.
00:11:24.000My father got into this not because he needed the job or the money, I can assure you that, but because he wanted to actually represent we the people.
00:11:32.000And we've seen What those institutions could even do to the most powerful person in the world, or arguably.
00:11:41.000That's why we're here. A lot of this show I want to focus on the people that are out there making a difference.
00:11:48.000The people who have the guts to take on the establishment, the guts to have people like myself on there.
00:11:55.000A platform that doesn't just have me, because the last thing we need is an echo chamber.
00:11:58.000I think what What I like most is actually, and why I stay on even some of the platforms that spend most of their day, it feels like to me at least, trying to make sure I don't expand my reach, is I'm happy to have these arguments.
00:12:12.000I'm happy to have these conversations.
00:12:15.000The facts are on my side, and the insanity of the other side is showing so much.
00:12:37.000I know I'll probably be canceled on the other platforms.
00:12:39.000But we have a unique perspective in that the pendulum has overcorrected so far, so far on the other side, that people finally get it.
00:12:50.000Again, it's probably been happening forever.
00:12:53.000It's probably something that was going on for years, but it was never so extreme.
00:13:01.000The notions of what is and what it means to be a Democrat today, the notions of what are the hills that they're choosing to die on, Let's have that conversation.
00:13:14.000Again, it's I think why we're winning some of the pop culture arguments.
00:13:36.000I know what they tell you isn't the truth, and I probably understand the prism by which they're watching that views and news better than anyone.
00:13:46.000Now, I think we can do that with some fun.
00:13:48.000Now, the big part of what all of this is going to be about is also sort of, you know, The locals component of this.
00:13:54.000You know, the live interaction with you.
00:15:25.000One of the players, the hockey players in the Philadelphia Flyers, didn't want to wear the Gay Pride jersey.
00:15:33.000And as someone who doesn't like the Philadelphia Flyers, because I grew up in New York City, I'd make a joke there, but then I'd get canceled for sure.
00:15:53.000Because the American people are sick of that crap being jammed down their throats day in and day out.
00:16:00.000Now, that doesn't mean that they're racist or homophobic or whatever the other ists that everyone labels you if you disagree with them for even one second.
00:16:10.000It just means that they don't need to hear about this crap day in, day out, force-fed
00:16:17.000a narrative, jammed down their throats, with social consequence.
00:17:15.000We can no longer do what conservatives have done for decades, which is sit back, turn the other cheek, while watching the other side claim every aspect of the social hierarchy, anarchy, pop culture, and laugh their asses off as we just give up and let them take control.
00:17:34.000We've gotten to that point where people are now, they're voting with their dollars, they're voting with their feet, they're moving away from the insanity, and that's the critical point.
00:17:46.000I mean, I wish it never had to get to this point.
00:17:48.000Like I said, it would have been a lot easier for me, for my father, for my family, given the countless hours of nonsense, and we'll get to that in a second, because some of the news of the day...
00:17:58.000To me right now is certainly interesting.
00:18:03.000It's sort of mind-blowing, especially when I think of sort of what we've been up against.
00:18:28.000It's contrived. It's made up from nonsense people and pushed by the media.
00:18:32.000But when you're one person out there alone, whether that's, you know, a mom going to a PTA meeting and being called a domestic terrorist because they don't want their young children being indoctrinated with the garbage that we see on a daily basis, or if it's the president of the United States when it happens to be a conservative, or my father... We need to get together.
00:18:56.000We need to support those people that are doing that.
00:18:59.000Again, whether it's Rumble, whether it's some of the other people that have gone out there, whether it's some of our sponsors on this show.
00:19:07.000It takes guts to support a conservative.
00:19:10.000So I'd like to personally just thank Goldco For being the first sponsor of this show.
00:19:15.000So if you want to check it out, check out a company that's unafraid.
00:20:06.000See what you think. They'll take care of you that way.
00:20:09.000But Take the time to seek out those businesses and let's talk about that.
00:20:13.000So now, let's get into the news of the day.
00:20:17.000Now, one of the things I'll eventually do, and this is new to me, so I am totally winging it.
00:20:22.000Chris Pawlowski, CEO of Rumble, hey, do you want to promote this at all or do you want to take a couple of casual passes at it for us before we get there?
00:20:28.000I was like, honestly, guys, just go all in.
00:20:38.000We have to talk about it. And, like, this last 10 days perhaps more exemplifies the insanity of what's going on than anything I've actually seen.
00:20:53.000We'll talk, for example, the first one that you literally can't make up because we went through like five years of Russia, Russia, Russia collusion.
00:21:02.000And guys, today, an FBI agent, now he's a former FBI agent, but an FBI agent who at the time
00:21:10.000was leading the investigation into the Trump-Russia collusion,
00:21:16.000which was bullshit from moment one, by the way, just so you understand,
00:21:19.000which is why guys like me pushed back.
00:21:21.000You know, I had lawyers out the wazoo.
00:21:23.000I did 50 hours of testimony, 50 hours before congressional committees.
00:21:28.000Think about what that means, like where if you make one grammatical error,
00:21:33.000they say, oh, you're lying to the people.
00:21:35.000It was always nonsense, but it doesn't mean they can't get you for lying if they ask you the same question about a billion times and you answer it a little bit differently.
00:21:42.000So people like, you know, clown show shift, you don't remember pencil neck shift?
00:22:15.000This is like the Rules for Radical sort of leftist manifesto, which is, if you're doing something, accuse your enemy of doing it, because we've seen this time and time again coming from the left, right?
00:22:26.000Accuse them of doing the stuff that you're doing.
00:22:28.000So we remember very clearly, you know, the Hillary Clinton campaign formulated this nonsense.
00:22:33.000They leaked it to the FBI, who leaks it to the newspapers, who writes an article about it, who then the FBI uses said article to investigate Trump for years.
00:22:43.000$50 million plus on Mueller, plus just countless weeks, months spent focusing on obviously a flagrant lie.
00:22:53.000But the problem with bullshit is you still have to deal with bullshit.
00:22:56.000And I imagine that was a big part of what they were trying to do.
00:22:58.000But think about what Trump was able to accomplish.
00:23:03.000Look at the clown show that is the Biden administration.
00:23:08.000And I understand the press secretary will get up and tell you this is all wonderful, but as we're paying $25 for an egg, it probably isn't.
00:23:17.000And an FBI official that worked on the Russia thing was now arrested for helping a Russian oligarch, Oleg Deripaska, Get off a sanctions list in violation of plenty of penal codes of the United States.
00:23:35.000But think about it. This guy was the guy leading this charge.
00:23:39.000Now, Any one of you probably has to start asking, how long has this now been going on?
00:23:45.000How many more of these people are on that payroll or became on the payroll shortly after that?
00:23:50.000But let's go look at a little clip about these guys talking about exactly what was going on at the time, or at least the narrative they were trying to sell you.
00:24:00.000Check this out. This is from MSNBC. You need to do what's necessary.
00:24:38.000So Oleg Deripaska was no longer affiliated with those companies.
00:24:42.000They were separate entities, so there was no reason to be in those sanctions.
00:24:46.000And yet, whether it's a congressman that will lie to you about what was going on there, as we've seen over and over...
00:24:52.000It doesn't matter. So, you fast forward four years, $50 million, driving the only narrative that was out there, putting your thumb on the scale of a midterm election at the time.
00:25:04.000You fast forward four years and an FBI official is getting paid by Deripaska to get him off the sanctions list.
00:25:12.000They have no problem. A congressman has no problem getting on TV telling you that Trump was doing these things.
00:25:31.000Right. After you saw what was going on for this long, after you saw the way the FBI acted, whether it was in the Russia, Russia, Russia hoax, in the FISA warrant nonsense, in some of the setups of, you know, the meth heads in Michigan with, you know, every terrorist act that's been committed to America, you know, the FBI, they were watching them.
00:25:50.000They were watching him really closely, but he was woke in some way, shape, or form, so we can't actually do anything.
00:25:54.000And then you question the FBI after we see clown show after clown show, and then they have the gall to say, how dare you question their integrity?
00:26:32.000Put forth onto the American people for years, and some of which they still run with it, right?
00:26:38.000None of the stuff about Joe Biden, none of the countless indiscretions, whether it's Hunter, whether it's the laptop, whether it's his brother, everyone's on the payroll, and those things are totally fine.
00:26:49.000I take this one pretty personally, because obviously, as someone who's been sort of in those crosshairs, You know, imagine it was Don Jr.
00:26:58.000doing any of these things. Imagine it was Don Jr., say, renting my father's million-dollar home for $50,000 a month.
00:27:25.000Because we saw very clearly, we saw very clearly how they handled this with Donald Trump.
00:27:32.000We saw very clearly what Joe Biden himself said about this at the time.
00:27:38.000Why don't we play that clip so we can refresh your memory and we'll get into the details of it.
00:27:42.000When you saw the photograph of the top secret documents laid out on the floor at Mar-a-Lago, what did you think to yourself looking at that image?
00:28:17.000Now, it's Joe Biden, so, I mean, it's sort of shocking he actually got through a sentence without a teleprompter and was able to deliver this.
00:28:53.000The fact that Joe Biden even has a think tank is like one of the great oxymorons of all time because it's clear based on watching the guy that he's actually incapable of thinking.
00:29:28.000We then, again, we got to see the sanctimony about Trump's documents that were under lock and key, okay, with full knowledge of the National Archive.
00:29:40.000Where are those? I heard that the National Archives, like all other institutions in government, are totally bipartisan, and yet We know that because Hunter Biden fell out of form to that effect.
00:30:17.000I did a little search because as a former real estate guy, before we got into this lovely world of politics, I used to do this a lot, right?
00:30:28.000So I said, man, $50,000, that seems like a lot for a home in Wilmington, Delaware.
00:30:31.000That seems like a lot for a home anywhere.
00:32:09.000It only happens if you're actually buying someone.
00:32:12.000Which, to me, is clearly what's happened.
00:32:15.000Again, you would think that would merit questions.
00:32:18.000If Hunter's then renting the house, you have the emails, the 10% for the big guy, you have the no-show jobs in Ukraine for Burisma, you know, making $80,000, $85,000 a month in a business you know nothing about, in a job you have no experience in.
00:32:35.000It'd be wonderful. But I have a feeling if it was Don Jr., it would be a problem, just like it'd be a problem if I was taking money from a Russian oligarch, real Russian collusion, like Hunter was, for the wife of the mayor of Moscow.
00:32:47.000Just so we're clear, and just so everyone actually understands, you don't become the mayor of Moscow without direct ties to Vladimir Putin, okay?
00:33:42.000Watch this clip from Joe Biden's attorney and in response to the latest batch of what's going on.
00:33:50.000Yes. Can you give us a sense of how many classified documents we are now talking about total across all three locations?
00:33:58.000Sure, it's a good question, and actually the answer to it is a little bit complicated because of this point that I'm making about the integrity of an ongoing Justice Department investigation.
00:34:07.000The Justice Department is going to be looking at all sorts of questions like that throughout their investigation.
00:34:12.000We want to be very, very careful to be respectful of the integrity of that investigation, to not speak too much about the underlying contents and materials.
00:34:28.000That's like worse than the typical Kamala Harris word salad, you know?
00:34:34.000We need equity because without equity, there is no equality.
00:34:37.000And without equality, we can't have equity.
00:34:39.000So you need equity for equality so that everyone can be equal equity.
00:34:43.000Like, I actually think her speechwriter must be a Republican because no one could write something that stupid and make someone look that bad on a daily basis.
00:34:57.000There doesn't seem that there's no raid.
00:34:59.000They didn't use the hostage rescue team like they did to raid Mar-a-Lago.
00:35:04.000And just so we're also clear, the hostage rescue team, the HRT, like the team that gets deployed all over the world from federal law enforcement to take out terrorists, They used them to use a search warrant?
00:35:16.000A search warrant for documents that were under lock and key, with cooperation, with knowledge of the National Archives, and under United States Secret Service protection?
00:35:29.000And yet, the whataboutism, Trump still somehow did something so much worse.
00:37:41.000We've seen just how powerful you can be if you have the mainstream media on your side.
00:37:47.000So let's get to the next topic because we could talk about that one forever.
00:37:51.000But the hypocrisy, the irony, the difference between Trump and the outrage that came with that, even though he had the ability to declassify documents, that should have ended it right there.
00:38:04.000But it won't, because anything you do as a conservative is going to be out there.
00:38:09.000There is no equal justice under the law.
00:38:12.000We've seen that, and each and every day they prove us more right.
00:38:16.000We can talk about now what went on this last weekend in Atlanta, Georgia.
00:38:24.000Seems like we're bringing back the very and mostly peaceful protests of 2020.
00:39:29.000I mean, I guess it's sort of like 2020, right?
00:39:31.000They were terribly worried about all these things, but let's riot and we need Gucci handbags and sneakers and stuff like that.
00:39:37.000It's not really about the cause, but it's an excuse to do that.
00:39:40.000This happened in Atlanta this weekend, but what's even worse is how the media tried defending it.
00:39:48.000I clipped a couple of clips because it's actually insane just how far they would go to justify this.
00:39:56.000Let's play the first one right now, and we'll get into a little bit more details on it.
00:40:01.000Look at this, again, all of the shattered windows.
00:40:05.000And it is important to point out, for the most part, for the entirety of the demonstration at the Atlanta Underground, a very peaceful protest.
00:40:52.000I mean, you have journalists writing about Rolling Stone gave these radicals a glowing profile in September and described their use of rocks and Molotov cocktails.
00:41:02.000Think about it. The piece said, quote, The use of rocks and Molotov cocktails?
00:41:18.000I wonder what those same people thought about the people on January 6th.
00:41:25.000I don't think there were Molotov cocktails.
00:41:26.000I don't think there were rocks. As far as I'm concerned, there were barely any weapons, and yet there were plenty of people.
00:41:30.000I'm watching people walking through the guide ropes taking selfies.
00:41:34.000They didn't even break the guide ropes.
00:41:35.000I'm not saying there weren't a couple of violent people there, and I'm not saying they shouldn't be punished, but you have innocent people that did nothing wrong, that are sitting in jail two years later.
00:42:05.000They're defending the lands with their bodies.
00:42:07.000I thought violence was In a political action, I thought that was wrong because that's what we were told for so long, but it seems to only go one way.
00:42:16.000Let's look at another clip from CNN from a guest named David Peisner.
00:42:42.000But, you know, this idea that breaking windows or other acts of property destruction are the same as actual violence against humans is kind of a dangerous and slippery concept.
00:43:18.000Who gives a crap, you know, if, you know, their deductible is high on their insurance, or maybe they don't have insurance, and they just got to eat that so that someone could loot their store, steal their stuff, or, you know, break their window for fun.
00:43:33.000You know, we gotta make sure we take care of the Antifa radicals who are doing it because, like, we, I guess, for some reason, believe in their cause of action.
00:43:42.000Now, I'm sure the people defending these things, you know, generally speaking, aren't involved in that.
00:45:40.000This week, this week, African-American conservative, right, contributor on Fox News, he literally wrote, I can't believe what just happened.
00:45:50.000I met up with friends for breakfast at Paradise Books and Bread in North Miami, and while we're having discussions about politics, we were told by the owner that we were not welcome there because we aren't politically aligned.
00:46:04.000So, no matter what your politics are, guys, you shouldn't be discriminated against.
00:46:08.000You couldn't discriminate against someone for other reasons.
00:46:11.000And again, going back to why we have to support the people and the causes that support us, okay?
00:46:17.000We are in a battle, whether we want to believe it or not, for the future of our country, for the future of our children, for the future of freedom.
00:46:27.000And guys, so far, we've been on the sidelines.
00:46:30.000I hope that this kind of stuff Actually gets out there.
00:46:56.000I mean, this was another big one, obviously, for the people who love the stuff that I do.
00:46:59.000And maybe I'll do this as the last one before I go take some questions from Rumble and bring Kim on for the locals platform to talk about, you know, just some of the stuff.
00:48:02.000That tell you you should be eating bugs while they eat, you know, probably $1,000 meals.
00:48:07.000The people who travel to Davos, Switzerland, a beautiful ski resort in the Swiss Alps on their G4s and G5s.
00:48:15.000You know, the G4s are for the low rollers there.
00:48:17.000The G5s and the globals for the big boys.
00:48:19.000You know, probably two people to a plane printing up a carbon footprint that you, whoever's watching this, couldn't imagine in their lifetimes.
00:48:28.000But, you know, you're the ones that need a stop.
00:48:31.000You're the ones that can't do any of these things.
00:48:36.000They want to become a de facto government.
00:48:38.000And I promise you guys, just like all the other conspiracy theories that have come true, whatever people have said about Davos and the people that are part of that process, I promise you guys, all of those things, in my opinion, will come true in the not-too-distant future.
00:48:53.000But again, these are the people that want you to eat bugs.
00:48:58.000How many of them are actually doing it?
00:49:00.000These are the people that control billions and billions of dollars but are arguably the greatest hypocrites in the world.
00:49:07.000Again, you know, you shouldn't have worldly possessions and you'll be really happy because we'll take care of you.
00:49:12.000How many of you think they're going to give up their private plans?
00:49:15.000You know, there are multi-million dollar mansions all over the world.
00:49:18.000How many of you think are going to stop going to Davos and skiing and cavorting with their other billionaire friends?
00:49:24.000No, no, no, guys. Those rules are for you.
00:49:29.000They never plan on doing that, and that's part of it.
00:49:32.000That's why they want to become this de facto world government.
00:49:34.000Another thing we have to push back on, but Let's listen to a couple of the clips for what's actually going on over there right now.
00:49:42.000The first one from, you know, the chairman of manufacturing giant Siemens, calling for one billion people to just stop eating meat.
00:49:51.000Let's check it out. My daughter, 24, inspired me and said, Dad, how can you advocate for these zero carbon value chains if you still eat meat?
00:51:35.000Somebody who is extremely right or extremely left, and it seems like that is the majority speaking.
00:51:40.000They're not the majority, but they're basically driving everybody to make a decision.
00:51:44.000What side are you on? Are you on this side or this side?
00:51:48.000I mean, guys, God forbid in America you have an open press system, right?
00:51:51.000So this is what, you know, I think actually quite reasonable Democrat.
00:51:55.000I wish more Democrats were reasonable like this.
00:51:57.000Unfortunately, the Democrat Party has been taken over by your local communist.
00:52:00.000You know, the thought leaders, and this is another one that's sort of ironic, you know, like AOC and the radicals, those are the thought leaders of the Democrat Party.
00:52:08.000And the reason is, while moderate Democrats still exist in America, man, I know plenty of them.
00:52:14.000Again, I understand where I come from, I understand my background, but I also spend probably more time in real America, certainly, than most politicians.
00:52:23.000And those moderate Democrats still exist, but the problem is you can't win An election.
00:52:29.000If you don't have the help of the lunatics in California, you know, if you're not all for, you know, the 19-year-old dude that says, hey, you know what, I'm not the greatest track star in the world, so I'll convert and I'll be a chick and I'll dominate and I'll take a scholarship.
00:52:41.000I mean, you know, one day, I hope it happens soon, but maybe, hey, soccer moms, like, feminists, like, where are you?
00:52:49.000Like, perhaps the great irony over the last few years is that guys like me, Are like leaders in the feminist movement because we're actually fighting for women.
00:53:01.000Like, think about that for a second, okay?
00:53:04.000And you see the crap that I post, so it's like, the fact that I could be a thought leader for this and be willing to actually have this fight and engage in it, Like, that shouldn't be happening.
00:53:13.000Reasonable people should be stepping up and having these conversations, but I do it because I'm a dad.
00:53:30.000The amount of time, blood, sweat, tears that she puts into that, the discipline that she has in her life, not only crushing it just academically at a hard school, but being a freshman captain of a really good golf team in South Florida and doing all of that.
00:53:48.000I want to make sure that that time, that effort, She actually has a chance to have that play out.
00:53:55.000That it isn't swept away because some woke nonsense happens and people are too quiet to actually step up.
00:54:03.000But the last clip I'll talk about Davos because we could do something on the hypocrisy here probably for days.
00:54:11.000But check out what Christopher Wray...
00:54:13.000It was basically bragging about the significant strides that great institutions that have spied on the American people would call moms domestic terrorists for not wanting their children to be indoctrinated.
00:54:23.000You know, they were watching every bad guy that's done something in America, but, you know, we're just going to let it slide.
00:54:28.000You know, they're not going to really do that, but, you know, if you're within 1,500 miles of Washington, D.C. on January 6th, you got a visit.
00:54:34.000Listen to what he has to say, and then maybe we'll close it out and take some Q&A. And I think the sophistication of the private sector is improving, and particularly important, the level of collaboration between the private sector and the government, especially the FBI, has, I think, made significant strides.
00:54:55.000Pretty much every technology we could talk about today, we see both great opportunity but great dangers in the wrong hand.
00:55:54.000I think I definitely, I know that when I'm out there, like, Probably the number one comment is like, hey Don, do you do your own Instagram?
00:56:01.000Because I was like, yes, because do you think I could pay someone to post the crap that I stick up there?
00:56:05.000But maybe we'll have to do memes of the week, because the reality is honestly, I think humor, a picture says a thousand words, I think we can drive home some of the narrative and the points with these things.
00:56:15.000Maybe some of the ones that I know I can't actually post on other platforms.
00:56:18.000I'd love to be able to do that, but I know what happens.
00:56:21.000I've been, you know, Fact check for having an opinion.
00:56:24.000I've been throwing off platforms for being right eventually, knowing that I was right because I was actually in the room, but that wasn't what the narrative was saying.
00:56:52.000You're doing a great job. Was that okay?
00:56:53.000I absolutely love it. It was like an hour rant, but like...
00:56:56.000This is what you do at home, and now everyone gets to see how I live.
00:57:00.000Well, no, but listen, again, I said it earlier, I think it's so important, like, we actually need to engage, you know, in this conversation.
00:57:08.000You know, this, hey, it doesn't matter, I don't really follow politics, that's great, you're going to wake up one day, you're going to live in communist China, because we're basically getting there.
00:57:16.000You've heard me complain about this one a bunch, and I actually believe it, and I wish I didn't, because before we got into politics, even sort of functioning at the high level where we did...
00:57:26.000I sort of always believed all the tenets of, you know, American freedom and you can do...
00:57:30.000Honestly, so much of that is bullshit.
00:57:39.000And maybe, you know, a guy like me can get away with a little bit more because I've already created a large enough platform.
00:57:44.000But for the average person, they've made it so hard to be able to get that voice out.
00:57:48.000And that's... But there's been an erosion of that over time.
00:57:50.000I mean, we certainly saw when you see the juxtaposition of what we had, quite frankly, under President Trump, great presidents like Reagan, and what's happened to this country.
00:57:59.000And in such rapid order and succession, you never thought that it would go this far this quickly that now we have to fight for just basic rights.
00:58:07.000We have to fight for our daughters to be able to play sports and have an equal level playing field instead of somebody trying to steal it from them.
00:58:20.000So guys, you know, check and subscribe to the locals platform.
00:58:24.000You know, that's where we'll be able to interact, do a lot of the Q&A. So I'm actually just reading some of the comments from there right now.
00:58:31.000So, you know, definitely, you know, like and subscribe to that.
00:58:36.000But, you know, the idea is to try to get as much sort of immersion in this.
00:58:40.000So maybe I kind of like the fish tank story because, you know, Kim saved the weekend.
00:58:45.000By the way, it's not a lesson I want to sort of give the kids, which is if they throw enough of a tantrum, they're actually going to win because it doesn't seem to work, but it does seem to work for Democrats.
00:58:55.000So, you know, I think I've done a pretty good job of getting my kids, you know, those same kids, they went out shooting with me and stuff like that this weekend.
00:59:02.000So, you know, we're making sure we're...
00:59:06.000Don went there and if he's on his Instagram, there's some pretty classic photos where he's holding up.
00:59:11.000It's like a hostage video shot where he's got like the stuffed animals.
00:59:14.000You had to go because the kids always want you to keep playing that and you get to the point where you want to ask the guy if you can buy the stuffed animal because you keep trying to shoot the hoops.
00:59:21.000Her do whatever, and the kids are having a meltdown.
01:00:56.000And we were on one of these spinning rides, and Chloe's actually great about this normally, but we went on the roller coaster, a spinning ride, another spinning ride, and there just didn't happen to be a line.
01:01:44.000I guess it was right before the holiday.
01:01:47.000And, like, I went out a day early so I could take Spencer because George, my buddy, at Battle Tested, literally has Hummers with.50 cal turrets with actual.50 cal's that we were attaching to this.
01:02:00.000So it actually made it sort of doable for a 10-year-old kid to shoot.50 cal.
01:02:04.000Which we're all probably going to need pretty soon in this country if things keep going this way.
01:02:09.000I think that kid basically shot, like, An array of, like, 15 full-auto guns, and, you know, he had a blast, and he probably knew more about them.
01:02:18.000I'm an aficionado, obviously, but he may have known more about them just from the stupid video games that they're always playing.
01:02:34.000It is. Like, you know, and again, that's someone who, I mean, even the left has gone after him for sort of being too moderate.
01:02:42.000And I think, you know, he's probably actually believed in some freedom and he's probably one of those few Democrats left that actually could be considered that sort of classical liberal.
01:02:51.000I mean, they use that term a lot these days.
01:02:53.000I think it sounds ridiculous because it's basically like a contemporary Republican.
01:03:00.000It shows you that you can be that moderate, but you get on a world stage and it's like, well, God forbid you have a couple social media platforms.
01:03:07.000Is that supposed to be a negative, that Americans have free speech or the ability to do that?
01:03:12.000Hopefully you heard all that and I wasn't just talking like this.
01:03:15.000I don't know, baby. When you do it live, why not?
01:03:20.000Is there a counter to the planned CBDDC social credit score?
01:03:39.000And one day they're going to decide, you know what?
01:03:42.000You're not woke enough. We're going to turn off your car.
01:03:45.000You're going to do this. You see this in corporate America a lot, and I don't know what it's done to them, but it's why I sort of am such a believer in supporting that sort of red state economy.
01:03:53.000I mean, it's a big thing that what I'm doing sort of even in my free time, you know, finding, you know, those companies, you know, Goldco, like I said, they have the guts to, you know, be the first advertiser on this show, having no idea what I'm going to say, because frankly, I don't even know what the hell I'm going to say before I start talking, you know, so go again, support those who support People who share your values.
01:04:13.000So go to goldco.com forward slash Don Jr.
01:04:18.000It was in the sort of live stream on Rumble earlier.
01:04:21.000You know, there is a real problem with that.
01:04:23.000That's becoming real. I mean, you know, I've seen it happen to me.
01:04:27.000You know, major banks, like, they won't do the credit card processing because I'm speaking at a pro-life, like, evangelical Christian event.
01:04:34.000Like, the comm is most mild people in America.
01:04:38.000Uh, People who believe in religious liberty and are pro-life, they're like, wow, Don Jr.'s doing it.
01:04:43.000It must be radical. Again, those same people have no problem probably lending to Hunter Biden and the Chinese Communist Party or whatever they're doing.
01:04:51.000They have no issue with that. You could be the most woke, radical, insane person.
01:04:56.000The people that were pushing for post-term abortion, that's no problem.
01:05:01.000So we have to battle that social credit score.
01:05:04.000We have to fight against it. We have to make sure we don't support those companies.
01:05:08.000I mean, you and I, we spend a lot of time...
01:05:10.000I think someone who's doing a great job with this is Michael Seifert from PublicSQ.
01:06:01.000Like, the ESG stuff to me, that's part of that social credit score, you know, Well, if you're Apple, you've got a great ESG score because you subbed out the parts where they're doing slave labor, lithium mining stuff.
01:06:12.000So it doesn't really count. Yeah, but don't complain about it unless you're going to do something with your dollars and actually support the businesses, the companies that support your ideals and values.
01:06:20.000And you let the economy and the numbers and the revenue work their magic.
01:06:24.000And that will create a system where the companies that actually are responsible give to causes that you believe in will do better.
01:06:32.000Honestly, this is one of the biggest things that we need to be playing in.
01:06:36.000Like, you're going to search it anyway.
01:06:38.000So whether you search it on Google and you get sort of like the leftist Wikipedia version of what you're looking for, or like you go on a public square and actually find someone who...
01:07:06.000You guys have options of what you can see and listen to and watch.
01:07:09.000You come here and this is like what America stands for, that free platform where you have your First Amendment rights and people can't cancel you or try to destroy your life.
01:07:18.000Yeah, Emerson's back. He goes, that literally happened to me with B of A in September of 2020 while staying at Trump International.
01:07:24.000They shut off his card. Like, because you're a conservative?
01:07:27.000But it's actually happening. You can't believe the notion and the insanity that's out there, right?
01:07:35.000It's fine to allow a three-year-old to literally mutilate their body and change their gender based on influence from teachers pushing that.
01:08:05.000Like I said, for me, so much of what I'm doing in the outside time that I have is finding these guys.
01:08:10.000Now, there's plenty of people doing it, and there's guys that are never going to deliver.
01:08:14.000Maybe the idea is great, but they can't execute.
01:08:16.000Some guys may be able to execute it, but the idea sort of sucks.
01:08:19.000A guy like Michael, that's a great thing.
01:08:23.000And if we do that, as I said literally by opening intro, I didn't even know it was going to go this direction, but it's become uncancellable.
01:08:31.000We do that by putting up a wall of critical mass of people.
01:08:36.000I mean, you saw that, Kim. I always tell the story, you know, Kimberly was one of those few people, while she was a lifelong conservative, an undefeated prosecutor, and would have been sort of an ultimate example of, you know, the feminist person.
01:08:48.000She's actually sort of much more traditional than that, which is why she puts up with my ass.
01:08:52.000Um... But, like, she was actually one of those few people.
01:08:55.000I saw it in New York. You sort of liked by both sides.
01:08:59.000People understood your... Like, when you started dating me, like...
01:09:03.000My God. That's what I get for taking in a homeless Trump.
01:09:38.000Exactly. You know, it's all bullshit, but like, you know, give me a break.
01:09:41.000You know, having issues doesn't absolve you from being a total piece of shit in every aspect of your life.
01:09:47.000And like, what I want to always know is like, what was it, do you think, that like, imagine the stuff that Hunter did that he was like, you know what?
01:10:28.000And again, obviously you can't do any of those things, but I'm sitting there being like, I'm also probably just a target for some of the nonsense.
01:10:34.000And we saw that one sort of go so far and probably actually do a lot of damage to the cause of women because men basically became just afraid to actually...
01:10:43.000I won't call names, but I know plenty of people in corporate America that are like, hey, they won't get in an elevator with a woman.
01:10:49.000So I think... Again, that doesn't excuse actual inappropriate behavior, but when you're sitting there being like, are you a setup?
01:10:56.000So I'm sitting there basically being like, holy crap, and we had a friend, Arthur, who's hopefully watching, but probably asleep by now.
01:11:03.000And I think he basically lied to us both.
01:11:06.000Like, oh yeah, Don's really interested, and Kim's really interested.
01:12:20.000Well, it is. They're teaching them in Harvard to identify LGBTQ kids, newborns, at birth to decide and for the doctors to determine if they should be a different gender or how they identify it.
01:12:36.000That is frightening. Today, I guess one of the transsexual movements, one of the members, I guess it's called the transsexual movement, they want Aretha Franklin's 1968 hit Natural Woman.
01:12:49.000Banned! Because, apparently, a song from 1968 is a front to the trans movement.
01:12:55.000Now, let's be clear. When you're an adult, I don't care what you...
01:12:58.000Like, if you want to chop whatever you want off, if you want to get on hormones, if you want to, you know, sterilize yourself, have at it.
01:13:08.000This is going to maybe piss off the super conservatives, but you know what?
01:13:12.000Guess what? Happy people or productive people, if that's going to make you happy, now I think the recidivism rate, in the end you probably won't be.
01:13:18.000I think that's basic math and statistics, but hey, I actually am about that freedom.
01:13:23.000Where I draw the line is when you say, hey, you're going to do this to children.
01:13:26.000But now it's not okay to be a biological woman and celebrate women.
01:13:30.000That's what this is saying. An African-American woman, a legend in music, a song from literally 50 years ago.
01:13:57.000All right. So let's take some other questions.
01:13:59.000We have some cooking questions, too, about favorite meals.
01:14:01.000You have cooking questions? Well, yeah.
01:14:03.000People are like, what is your favorite meal to cook?
01:14:04.000People loved it because during the pandemic, I made the mistake of cooking so much for Don that he realized I could cook.
01:14:09.000So now it's like a whole thing, right?
01:14:11.000Yeah, this is an interesting one because it's like I noticed more and more restaurants selling meat alternatives.
01:14:17.000This one's sort of an interesting one, because I think if you look at the actual science, and we've got to sort of differentiate between the science that is narrative science and actual science, I mean, it seems like some of that stuff is crazy.
01:14:28.000I mean, we've all seen sort of these soy-based diets, what they do to men, and I think that's sort of part of the narrative.
01:14:33.000If you have men without testosterone...
01:14:36.000No, no, no. Hey, it's a four-letter word.
01:15:17.000I think it'll be hard, but you never know.
01:15:18.000I'm getting older. Maybe I'm in that decline.
01:15:22.000In which decline? Low T? I wouldn't say low T. I'd say maybe I will get to a point where it declined.
01:15:30.000Well, listen... I'll tell a story, right?
01:15:34.000Which story? Well, listen, when we started dating stuff like that, coming off of the campaign trail, I was like, these are brutal days, right?
01:15:41.000You're doing four or five things a day.
01:15:43.000And I came out and was like, man, I feel like I was just much less energy, all of that.
01:15:52.000And so I'm sitting there and being like, man, I wonder what it is.
01:15:54.000I actually thought, hey, maybe, listen, I was like 42.
01:15:57.000I've sort of hit that point where I was doing it.
01:16:03.000And we're not trying to pitch a low-T support supplement.
01:16:07.000So I tested and they're like, actually, whatever the measurement was, I was in the mid-900s, which was apparently very high, actually, for someone my age.
01:16:15.000But I still had felt like it was like...
01:16:17.000This turned into a humble brag, but okay.
01:16:20.000No, but again, I still felt it down, so we tried to do something, and they were like, well, we'll try a quarter dose to see, and I became basically, you couldn't talk to me.
01:16:28.000No, you were like a total psycho, and I was like, no more.
01:16:30.000I did that for like a month or two, and I stopped, and I was like, okay, I'll wait.
01:16:33.000Now, again, I'm a believer in it for a lot of men.
01:16:36.000I think, you know, I had friends sort of similar age, and it just changes, right?
01:16:41.000It just changes. It's also part of nature and the process, right?
01:16:45.000And then as you get older, you can be...
01:16:47.000But there's things you can do now that are healthy and supplemental.
01:16:48.000I think I'm just always out there just fighting and screaming and ranting and raving.
01:16:51.000It's hard to get too low, but who knows?
01:16:53.000I know. But yeah, your idea of what's low is something quite different, I think.
01:16:59.000All right, so let's see. What else we got question-wise?
01:17:02.000But I'm glad we talked about that. But yes, I think the meat alternative is interesting.
01:17:04.000It's also interesting, again, you'll be dubbed a conspiracy theorist, but you have Bill Gates buying up all this farmland.
01:17:10.000You have probably other ag land that's been used for meat products that'll be converted to producing soy.
01:17:18.000Ultimately, to me, it seems like they're trying to create a shortage there.
01:17:21.000So again, I'm sure it won't stop the guys at Davos from having their steak dinner, but they're going to make sure that you can't do it, and you're going to be happy eating cockroaches, folks.
01:18:10.000So I imagine that Salty Alaskan Rambo is not low T. How many times do you remember we'd watch like Rambo or any of the movies your world was putting them on?
01:21:22.000Again, I still engage on a lot of the other platforms.
01:21:24.000I mean, it was sort of actually amazing what happened with Twitter.
01:21:27.000After sort of being oppressed on that platform for years, I was sort of one of the first guys to be like, hey man, I think the algorithm's really screwing with me.
01:21:36.000That's bullshit. I was like, well, how do you know, Don?
01:21:39.000How do you know? Well, I went from like 5,000 likes opposed to three.
01:21:42.000Not 3,000, but like three single digits.
01:21:45.000But you actually follow the math on this.
01:21:46.000You really do. I do it so much, and I do my own social.
01:21:49.000I think that's the other difference. People, like I mentioned, Instagram, they're like, do you do that Instagram?
01:21:53.000I was like, do you think I could pay someone to post the shit that I post?
01:21:56.000Like, in all fairness, like everyone would fear for their job at any given minute because you'd probably thrown off the platform in two seconds.
01:22:02.000Um... And I do that part because I think that interaction is actually important.
01:23:43.000Fake Pocahontas like, you know, Liz Warren and all these people that, you know, can get tenure and all these things for being Native American with exactly 0% Native American.
01:23:50.000So, yeah, they did not like it when I did that.
01:23:52.000We were just early... I don't even think Fox liked it at the time.
01:23:55.000No, no, no. Because when I put out the bets, I got $10,000 saying that my girlfriend is much more Native American than Liz Warren and we had the DNA to prove it.
01:24:06.000You said it. Yeah, you put it out there on Twitter right away.
01:24:33.000And one day... I hope we can just be one.
01:24:37.000But as long as they're weaponizing that against everything that we believe in, like we literally have an obligation to ourselves, to our children, to our families, to future generations to call out the bullshit.
01:24:48.000I should actually talk about my first interview, shouldn't I? What?
01:24:51.000The first interview. Well, because we're doing this as sort of a live stream, but later on this week, I'm actually going to sit down in sort of a long-form interview with the Speaker of the House, with Kevin McCarthy.
01:25:04.000That's going to be the first interview on the podcast.
01:25:07.000Obviously, a lot of interesting stuff to talk about.
01:25:09.000Obviously, there's sort of a lot of sort of inside baseball to that.
01:25:14.000Some of that, again, I think I was privy to way before, sort of the outrage, the behind-the-scenes.
01:25:50.000But yeah, no, it's going to be great also.
01:25:52.000And honestly, as we get it going, we're going to have the studio in our house.
01:25:55.000We'll be able to just pop on the platform and just be like, hey man, we're going to do an Ask Me Anything.
01:25:59.000You got a half an hour or whatever it is.
01:26:01.000Let's talk about those things in real time, not just the ones that we're going to schedule out in advance to try to do as much of it as I can live.
01:26:07.000But frankly, I travel to some weird-ass places.
01:26:09.000Whether it be through my hobbies or whatever.
01:26:44.000Thank you, everybody. I think I was probably, what, probably second, like, big verified sort of third, second or third, you know, guy on the platform on Rumble.
01:26:54.000And, you know, I didn't go on YouTube because of it.
01:26:57.000I spent a lot of time, you know, sort of trying to create content for two, two and a half years.
01:27:01.000And that's before they went public and did, you know, arguably the most successful SPAC. But it...
01:27:05.000And we've got great friends out here, too.
01:27:07.000Not arguably. Frankly, the most successful sort of public offering of a company because there's actually demand for this stuff, guys.
01:27:15.000That's perhaps... I wish I would have included it earlier.
01:27:17.000I didn't even think about it. But when I was talking about how I actually know we're winning, how I know we're capturing those things, it's because...
01:27:41.000They're looking for someone that's not going to cancel them or screw them over or be an arbiter of truth that isn't actually truth.
01:27:48.000It'd be one thing if the fact-checkers were even moderately...
01:27:51.000I should go through a list of some of my former fact-checks where it's like you're literally...
01:27:58.000You know, the nuance that they can come up with to try to make something untrue.
01:28:02.000And the reason I don't have many dings against me is because I actually take the time to fight them out and argue it, and then they don't have anything.
01:28:08.000But if we're not engaging, if we're not in that battle, then they get you.
01:28:13.000They throw you off. So we have to be active.
01:28:15.000That's why this is a great platform for, you know, free thinkers.
01:28:18.000People want to get their viewpoint out there.
01:28:20.000So, you know, without this opportunity, can you imagine really trying to silence everybody, including, like you said, the president of the United States?
01:28:27.000Alright, so I want to hear more from you guys.
01:28:28.000Kim and I both do. If you're friendly with us and you know us, call me later on.
01:28:32.000We've got a long drive home. If you're friendly.
01:28:35.000Well, no, but listen, I want to know if there's things I've got to do better.
01:28:38.000If there's things that I suck, if I take, you know, I want to know.
01:29:00.000That was one of the memes I wanted to share.
01:29:03.000I was reading about some guy that gets going through a bad divorce and wanted to get more.
01:29:08.000Time with his kids, so he literally changed his gender and identity to be a female so that he can have actual equal rights under the law because that stuff doesn't generally stack in the favor of a father.
01:29:17.000So, like, I respect that guy's hustle.
01:29:20.000Like, don't hate the player, hate the game, and this is the game and the battlefield that the left is put out there.
01:29:23.000Well, it exposes the hypocrisy and what's happening right now, you know?
01:29:26.000So, and there's been such a weaponization of the legal system, as you know, as your father knows.
01:29:31.000So, there's so many things to talk about, and the good thing is...
01:29:33.000There's a lot. I don't want to burn it all on day one.
01:29:34.000But you're doing it. On show two, I'm going to be like, uh...
01:29:53.000I'm not really kidding, but kind of sort of kidding.
01:29:55.000Kidding enough that I don't get in trouble when I leave this chair and I have to live with this woman, but not enough that it isn't funny and maybe true.
01:30:03.000So, guys, thanks so much for tuning in.
