Triggered - Donald Trump Jr - Far-left Frauds Exposed, Plus Remembering a Great American Scott Adams | Triggered Ep.308

00:06:22.000 Hey guys, welcome to another massive, some would say huge episode of Triggered.

00:06:28.000 We've got a lot to cover today from historic immigration numbers that the fake news does not want you to see to absolute chaos in Minnesota, where journalists are being hunted by the leftist mobs.

00:06:41.000 And at the end of the show, I want to pay tribute to a friend, a patriot, and someone who really understood what was happening in this country, honestly, before almost anyone else did.

00:06:54.000 Scott Adams, who passed away earlier this week.

00:06:58.000 So let's get into all of it.

00:07:59.000 The Trump administration is moving fast to right all of the left's wrongs.

00:08:05.000 But with all the damage we've seen the Democrats do, it's always smart to be prepared.

00:08:10.000 And that's why thousands of Americans are buying gold now from the Birch Gold Group.

00:08:15.000 Here are the facts.

00:08:16.000 In the past 12 months, the value of gold has increased by 30%.

00:08:21.000 And Birch Gold makes it extremely easy to convert an existing IRA or 401k into a tax-sheltered IRA in physical gold.

00:09:08.000 First, check out all the latest predictions on Polymarket.

00:09:13.000 So if you follow politics, you know everyone's got an opinion.

00:09:16.000 But on Polymarket, you actually get real odds on what's likely to happen.

00:09:20.000 Polymarket is a prediction market where people trade on real events, elections, debates, policy moves, and it doesn't stop at politics.

00:09:30.000 There are markets on the economies, tech, sports, pop culture, and so much more.

00:09:35.000 It's all live, it's transparent, and it gives you a real-time indicator of what people really think is going to happen.

00:09:43.000 So go give it a look at polymarket.com, check it out, and let me know what you think.

00:09:48.000 And now, let's get into all of the top headlines.

00:09:52.000 Let's start with an absolutely historic number that the media is trying to bury.

00:09:58.000 For the first time, for the first time in almost 50 years, let that sink in, 50 years, half a century, the United States has experienced negative net migration.

00:10:11.000 Okay, more people leaving than coming.

00:10:14.000 And the people leaving are the ones we definitely want leaving.

00:10:14.000 Okay.

00:10:18.000 And we're also revoking naturalized citizenship of those migrants convicted of fraud.

00:10:25.000 Okay, you come here, we try to give you an opportunity.

00:10:28.000 You commit crimes, you commit frauds, you're out.

00:10:32.000 Okay, this is common sense.

00:10:33.000 This makes total sense.

00:10:34.000 This is what should happen.

00:10:36.000 Okay, this is what should happen.

00:10:38.000 This is what happens anywhere else.

00:10:40.000 So for those migrants convicted of frauds, they're out, which of course makes you wonder why we always haven't been doing just that. 0.99

00:10:49.000 Take a look.

00:10:50.000 We're also going to revoke the citizenship of any naturalized immigrant from Somalia or anywhere else who is convicted of defrauding our citizens.

00:10:59.000 We're going to get them the hell out of here, Fed.

00:11:05.000 And if you come to America to rob Americans, we're throwing you in jail and we're sending you back to the place from where you came. 1.00

00:11:14.000 We're throwing you right in jail.

00:11:17.000 And they know it, too.

00:11:19.000 Under Biden, we were seeing two to three million illegals flooding across our border every single year.

00:11:27.000 Two to three million, guys.

00:11:28.000 You know, it's insane.

00:11:30.000 Two to three million.

00:11:31.000 That's like a percent of our population every year just coming across.

00:11:35.000 Again, not the finest, usually.

00:11:37.000 Okay.

00:11:38.000 And what did the fake news tell us?

00:11:40.000 It's a humanitarian crisis, remember?

00:11:43.000 They're just asylum seekers. 1.00

00:11:45.000 There's nothing we can do about it.

00:11:46.000 Yeah, they're asylum seekers. 0.99

00:11:48.000 They went through eight other countries coming from wherever country they were, but managed to go through all eight of those.

00:11:53.000 They didn't seek asylum in those other eight countries.

00:11:55.000 They just wanted to come to America for the free stuff. 0.77

00:11:57.000 It's over.

00:11:58.000 Enough.

00:12:00.000 My father actually did something about it.

00:12:03.000 The Brookings Institution, not exactly a right-wing think tank, by the way, estimates that net migration was somewhere between negative 10,000 and negative 295,000 in 2025.

00:12:17.000 That's not a typo.

00:12:19.000 Negative for the first time in half a century.

00:12:23.000 That is a really big deal, guys.

00:12:25.000 It's yet another example of how we all needed a new president.

00:12:32.000 We just needed it.

00:12:32.000 That's it.

00:12:33.000 We just needed a new president. 0.97

00:12:35.000 This stuff was doable if you had someone with the balls to actually do it. 0.88

00:12:40.000 Everyone had the chance. 0.90

00:12:42.000 Everyone talked about it.

00:12:43.000 They were all talk, no action.

00:12:45.000 Now it's different.

00:12:47.000 And at the same time, guys, shockingly, shockingly, with the net migration being negative, crime nationwide is plummeting thanks to the historic work under Kash Patel's FBI.

00:13:00.000 Just so we're clear, a 20% drop, 20% in national murder rate compared to Biden, a new historic low, with 2025 projected to see the largest one-year drop ever recorded in murders.

00:13:17.000 That's a big deal.

00:13:19.000 And we're just starting.

00:13:19.000 Okay?

00:13:21.000 Okay.

00:13:22.000 We're not even a year into this thing.

00:13:24.000 Over 6,000 innocent child victims recovered.

00:13:29.000 That's up 22%.

00:13:31.000 Another really big deal.

00:13:33.000 6,000 children victims recovered.

00:13:37.000 A 210%, 210% increase in violent gang takedowns.

00:13:44.000 We're getting rid of the bad guys.

00:13:46.000 A 31% increase in fentanyl seizures.

00:13:52.000 Those are huge numbers.

00:13:54.000 They're making a difference.

00:13:55.000 They're saving lives.

00:13:57.000 They're stopping crime.

00:13:59.000 And speaking of promises kept, let's talk about what Team Trump has done for American families in less than a year.

00:14:07.000 We've increased real household net wealth, okay?

00:14:11.000 What you actually end up being able to take home by 7.1%.

00:14:16.000 And that's just in three quarters. 0.77

00:14:18.000 Compare that to Biden's pathetic 2.0% over four years. 0.95

00:14:24.000 Yeah, four years. 0.79

00:14:26.000 And they want to tell you that Bidenomics was working.

00:14:29.000 It was so great.

00:14:30.000 Bidenomics, it's wonderful.

00:14:31.000 Give me a break.

00:14:33.000 American families are wealthier under my father.

00:14:37.000 American families are safer.

00:14:40.000 And American families have hope once again of actually owning a home and building a life.

00:14:47.000 That's what real leadership looks like.

00:14:50.000 Check this out.

00:14:52.000 As part of those efforts at Davos, next week I'm going to provide much more detail about our housing policies so that every American who wants to own a home will be able to afford one.

00:15:04.000 We have some great things happening with housing.

00:15:06.000 As you know, you saw the $200 billion buy-in on bonds and mortgages.

00:15:11.000 This will include a ban on large institutional investors buying up single-family homes all over the country and making it impossible for people to buy home.

00:15:22.000 And I've also announced that the U.S. government is purchasing $200 billion of mortgage bonds to bring down mortgage rates, and it's had a huge impact.

00:15:30.000 It's already started.

00:15:31.000 And just last week, the average 30-year mortgage dropped below 6% for the first time in many years.

00:15:37.000 It's coming down very rapidly, and that's not with the help of the Fed.

00:15:41.000 If I had the help of the Fed, it would be easier. 0.99

00:15:44.000 But that jerk will be gone soon. 0.99

00:15:47.000 Now, let's talk about what's happening in Minnesota because this is getting more and more out of control each and every day. 0.99

00:15:54.000 You've seen the anti-ICE protests.

00:15:57.000 You've seen the media defending the rioters.

00:16:00.000 But what you might not have seen is what these leftist mobs are doing to journalists, journalists who actually dare to do their job and maybe cover some of their leftist violence.

00:16:13.000 I mean, you know, I know there's not a lot of guys that will do it, but they're out there.

00:16:18.000 He was on the show last week, maybe two weeks ago now.

00:16:21.000 Independent journalist Nick Sordor was covering the chaos in Minneapolis when a mob surrounded his vehicle, smashed his windows, spray painted his truck, and repeatedly threatened to kill him and his colleague, Cam Higby.

00:16:39.000 Watch this. Oh, wow. Oh, my God. Oh, my God. Oh, my God. Oh, my God. Yes.

00:17:08.000 There's some bullets.

00:17:09.000 Uh-uh, that's a .47.

00:17:10.000 Oh no.

00:17:11.000 Uh-uh! 0.99

00:17:27.000 Tourniquet there.

00:17:30.000 Did he get...

00:17:35.000 Okay.

00:17:38.000 Hey, don't film that.

00:17:39.000 He's out of the...

00:17:41.000 He's out of the...

00:17:43.000 Yeah!

00:17:44.000 Yeah!

00:17:45.000 He's out of the...

00:18:14.000 No, no, no, no. 1.00

00:18:16.000 Shit 1.00

00:19:30.000 Think about what you just saw. 1.00

00:19:33.000 Think about it.

00:19:34.000 A citizen journalist being hunted by a violent leftist mob.

00:19:40.000 This is Democrat America.

00:19:42.000 You expose their fraud.

00:19:44.000 You try to save probably billions in American taxpayer dollars.

00:19:49.000 You want those taxpayer dollars going to causes to actually help people, not quality leering center that's not actually teaching anything.

00:19:57.000 It's just a funding arm of the leftist organizations, money that's being sent to terrorist organizations in Somalia, etc.

00:20:07.000 A citizen journalist having his windows smashed with frozen water bottles.

00:20:13.000 And here's the kicker.

00:20:14.000 When Sorter called 911, the police told him to go somewhere else.

00:20:20.000 They wouldn't even come to help him.

00:20:23.000 I imagine they've been told they're not allowed to help anyone who's not one of these rioters, you know, Democrat voters.

00:20:30.000 This is Tim Waltz's Minnesota.

00:20:32.000 This is what Democrat leadership looks like.

00:20:35.000 The police are told to stand down while journalists are attacked in the streets.

00:20:42.000 One of the leftist militants refused to understand is the more you harass, threaten, and try to kill independent journalists, the more they're going to expose you.

00:20:56.000 Nick Sortor isn't going anywhere.

00:20:59.000 He's not in hiding.

00:21:01.000 And neither is Nick Shirley, who was on our show again two weeks ago, or any of the other brave voices out there investigating these stories on the ground.

00:21:11.000 They're doing the job of what, you know, the mainstream journalists are supposed to be doing but would refuse because it doesn't go along with the narrative.

00:21:18.000 But as violence against ICE and real journalists gets worse in Minnesota, the media and Democrats still want you to believe that it's ICE that's the problem and not the out-of-control lunatic leftists that are destroying Minneapolis.

00:21:36.000 Watch this.

00:21:37.000 If there were neighbors and others who came out to help this person, that is just an example of Minnesota being a place where we help our neighbors.

00:21:47.000 And we are clear that the ICE agents have been coming here and there's over 2,000 of them.

00:21:55.000 And they've been attacking and terrorizing our state.

00:21:59.000 So yes, neighbors will come out and be helpful.

00:22:01.000 I'm not certain if they had brooms or shovel that is to be further investigated.

00:22:09.000 If they did, in fact, have some sort of weapons to use to attack the ICE officer, would that change your opinion of whatever unfolded next?

00:22:22.000 Actually, no, right?

00:22:24.000 Because from our vantage point, we wanted to make sure and always wanted to make sure that Minnesotans are being dealt with properly.

00:22:31.000 And when we think in terms of any pursuit or any apprehension of anyone, there's a way for you to do your work where it's respectful and it's fair.

00:22:40.000 We unfortunately have seen ICE not be respectful, not be fair, but to be illegal and to attack and to be very aggressive with Minnesotans.

00:22:51.000 And to see that the federal government has made a decision to attack and send more and more agents here and allow them to be allow them to misbehave.

00:23:05.000 We think that's a tragedy and a travesty.

00:23:08.000 Thanks to incredible work by investigative journalist Nick Shirley, whose viral video exposed massive amounts of fraud in Minnesota's daycare programs, we now have a fuller scope of what was happening under Tim Waltz's watch.

00:23:24.000 Remember, Tim Waltz could have been the vice president of the United States. 0.69

00:23:29.000 This guy's insane.

00:23:32.000 I can't come up with any other conclusion than he was clearly in on all of this.

00:23:37.000 Federal prosecutors estimate that criminals in Minnesota have stolen an estimated $9 billion, okay, billion with a B, billion, $9 billion in taxpayer funds.

00:23:50.000 Think about that.

00:23:51.000 $9 billion.

00:23:53.000 Money that was supposed to feed children.

00:23:56.000 Money that was supposed to support autistic kids.

00:24:00.000 Money that was supposed to house low-income Americans.

00:24:03.000 Those Americans didn't get any of that money. 0.53

00:24:06.000 It went to Somali extortionists. 0.98

00:24:09.000 And who were these criminals?

00:24:12.000 As state lawmakers, state lawmakers testified before the House Oversight Committee in Washington, D.C., 90%, 90% of the individuals charged in the Feeding Our Future fraud alone are of Somali descent.

00:24:29.000 And some of that money, there's evidence.

00:24:32.000 It was being funneled through Halawa networks to al-Shabaab, the largest al-Qaeda affiliate in Somalia.

00:24:41.000 Think about that.

00:24:42.000 $9 billion supposed to go to help autistic kids, help kids get fed, help underprivileged Americans.

00:24:49.000 But no, instead, it's being funneled to terrorist networks.

00:24:53.000 Okay?

00:24:54.000 The largest al-Qaeda affiliate in Somalia, al-Shabaab.

00:24:59.000 How is that possible?

00:25:02.000 Heads need to roll.

00:25:04.000 Here's the latest of what else was uncovered.

00:25:08.000 Check it out.

00:25:09.000 Yeah, Trace, great to be with you.

00:25:11.000 Happy New Year.

00:25:12.000 Unfortunately, this is not a happy story for my state. 0.91

00:25:15.000 Tim Walz is a fraud himself.

00:25:17.000 It's not just that he's allowed fraud to happen. 1.00

00:25:20.000 He's a fraud. 0.98

00:25:22.000 You can't believe a word that comes out of his mouth. 0.99

00:25:24.000 He's lied about his military record. 0.99

00:25:26.000 He's lied about something as dumb as when he was at Tiananmen Square and he was caught on national TV. 0.96

00:25:32.000 His whole thing here is to deflect to someone else. 0.96

00:25:36.000 The fact is he has prosecuted no one.

00:25:39.000 We have been sounding the alarm on this fraud now for years, and no one in the Minnesota media, well, I should say almost no one, would even bother to report on it.

00:25:48.000 Our U.S. Attorney's Office estimates the fraud, Trace, could be as high as $9 billion.

00:25:54.000 It's not just daycare centers, it's autism centers, it's housing stabilization funds.

00:26:00.000 We've got the largest pandemic fraud case, a quarter of a billion dollars in the country.

00:26:05.000 And this has all been under Tim Walt's watch.

00:26:07.000 And to show you just how disingenuous this guy is, two weeks ago, he created a new position for someone to investigate fraud because the headline in our worthless local paper was, Tim Walz is trying to get ahead of the fraud.

00:26:22.000 Well, guess what?

00:26:22.000 It's seven years too late.

00:26:24.000 It's cost Minnesota taxpayers billions.

00:26:27.000 You put on an HHS person who pointed out this money is being stolen from people that need it, children, disabled, single mothers, and it's being shipped to al-Shabaab terrorists in Somalia.

00:26:39.000 Tim Walz needs to be held accountable.

00:26:41.000 He needs to answer for this.

00:26:42.000 And God bless President Trump for making this a national issue.

00:26:46.000 And Trace, thank you for reporting on it.

00:26:49.000 Let me read you a little bit more of what state representatives testified to under oath.

00:26:54.000 They said that Tim Waltz knew about this fraud as it was occurring and did nothing about it.

00:27:01.000 They said that whistleblowers were retaliated against when they tried to stop it.

00:27:06.000 Remember, you know, under Trump, when whistleblowers even lied about what was going on, they were beyond reproach.

00:27:12.000 They could do no wrong.

00:27:14.000 But in Minnesota, if you talk about fraud going to terrorist networks, you're retaliated against as a whistleblower.

00:27:21.000 They said that Tim Waltz and Attorney General Keith Ellison were protecting fraudsters instead of investigating them.

00:27:30.000 Secretary of Treasury Scott Besson said it perfectly when he visited Minneapolis last week.

00:27:37.000 Under Democrat Governor Tim Waltz, welfare fraud has spiraled out of control.

00:27:43.000 Billions of dollars intended to feed hungry children, house disabled seniors, and provide services for children in need were instead diverted to benefit Somali fraud rings. 0.98

00:27:59.000 You can't make it up, guys.

00:28:01.000 This is America in 2026, certainly in 2025, and I'm sure it's been going on for a long time.

00:28:10.000 Waltz announced that he's dropping out of his re-election bid.

00:28:14.000 I'm actually shocked.

00:28:15.000 I figured all the Somalis would vote for him.

00:28:16.000 He'd probably be able to win anyway.

00:28:18.000 But we can't allow him to escape actual accountability for this.

00:28:23.000 This wasn't just negligence.

00:28:25.000 This was a protection racket.

00:28:28.000 Based on the evidence, it looks like there were essentially votes in exchange for looking the other way while billions were stolen from hardworking American taxpayers.

00:28:40.000 Okay?

00:28:41.000 That's the deal, guys.

00:28:43.000 We all know it.

00:28:44.000 Okay.

00:28:44.000 We'll keep doing this.

00:28:46.000 Who cares if no one shows up at the day care center?

00:28:48.000 It's like, Oprah, you get a couple million bucks.

00:28:50.000 You Somali immigrant get a couple million bucks. 0.99

00:28:52.000 You Somali fraudster, a couple million bucks. 1.00

00:28:55.000 Rinse and repeat. 0.99

00:28:56.000 But you better show up and vote for Democrats.

00:28:59.000 And Nick Shirley just uncovered a new layer to the fraud involving translators for hire at local hospitals.

00:29:08.000 Check this out.

00:29:09.000 When a Somali goes to the doctor, magically, they forgot how to speak English, so they needed an interpreter there. 1.00

00:29:16.000 So the county brings in an interpreter at $100 an hour, minimum eight hours to interpret what the doctor is telling the patient.

00:29:24.000 So that's another layer of fraud that nobody's even talked about or revealed.

00:29:28.000 And it's millions and millions, hundreds of millions of dollars all on its own.

00:29:32.000 Interpreter services.

00:29:33.000 Because what percentage do you think of these people, especially if they were born here in the United States, they speak English, right?

00:29:38.000 Of course they do.

00:29:39.000 They should not be saying no English.

00:29:41.000 And then remember, the interpreter has to get to the doctor's office or the hospital. 0.61

00:29:45.000 How are they getting there?

00:29:45.000 The transportation company, and then they got to get back home.

00:29:48.000 And that patient had to get to the doctor's office.

00:29:50.000 How?

00:29:50.000 Transportation.

00:29:51.000 Kids got to get to school.

00:29:52.000 How?

00:29:53.000 Transportation.

00:29:54.000 That's why I said the transportation is the hub of really, I think, all of this.

00:29:58.000 So basically, what we're talking about between all these fraudulent businesses, the daycare, the autism centers, the adult daycare, the home services, and then the transportation.

00:30:05.000 And then on top of that, you have it looped in with them going eventually to the doctors for translators to be paid by the state.

00:30:12.000 That's exactly what's happening, yes.

00:30:14.000 Now, beyond Minnesota, we have our own little communist experiment underway in New York City with the new mayor there, Zoran Mandani.

00:30:25.000 This guy is a member of the Democratic Socialists of America.

00:30:31.000 He stood up at his inauguration and said, and I quote, we will replace the frigidity of rugged individualism with the warmth of collectivism.

00:30:42.000 You know, rugged individualism, that's like freedom and, you know, the American way of life.

00:30:42.000 Okay?

00:30:47.000 Collectivism is communism.

00:30:50.000 The warmth of collectivism.

00:30:52.000 Does that sound familiar, guys?

00:30:54.000 Because it should.

00:30:56.000 Collectivism has been tried in the Soviet Union, in Mao's China, in Cuba, and everywhere it's been tried.

00:31:05.000 It's ended up in poverty, oppression, and death, and misery.

00:31:11.000 That's all it's ever done.

00:31:14.000 And his new tenant advocacy director, well, she's saying that white home ownership is a hurdle to fair housing.

00:31:24.000 Don't believe me?

00:31:25.000 Here she is in her own words.

00:31:28.000 I think that United States public policy has done a really, really, really good job of pitting cash poor homeowners and working class homeowners and middle class homeowners against renters.

00:31:39.000 And we need to figure out how to navigate that as organizers.

00:31:43.000 It's really, it's really quite difficult, right?

00:31:45.000 Because like, yes, Blackstone is a bigger and worse target than like, you know, Mrs. Smith, who owns 15 buildings.

00:31:54.000 But Mrs. Smith, who owns 15 buildings, still like kind of sucks and has a lot more stability than renters. 1.00

00:32:02.000 And there's more of them than there are of the Blackstones. 0.91

00:32:05.000 And so it's just like this challenging dynamic that white middle class homeowners are a huge problem for our renter justice movement. 0.93

00:32:16.000 She called home ownership white supremacy. 0.92

00:32:20.000 She said she wants to seize private property.

00:32:23.000 She wants to shrink the value of real estate. 1.00

00:32:26.000 Okay, you know, most people, if they own their home, that's a big, big, big portion of their net worth, their life savings, their life's work, and what they can ultimately leave to their children, the American dream.

00:32:37.000 She wants to shrink the value of real estate. 1.00

00:32:41.000 And she's deleted her X account because even she knows how insane this looks.

00:32:47.000 It's not going to stop her.

00:32:49.000 Sure, she doesn't care. 0.99

00:32:50.000 She just doesn't want people actually calling her out on it. 0.98

00:32:52.000 They would rather execute the plan under the cover of darkness than say it out loud, even though she has.

00:33:00.000 New Yorkers voted for this.

00:33:02.000 And now they're going to learn what happens when you put a communist in charge of the greatest city in America.

00:33:10.000 Now, before we go, I want to take a moment to remember someone special.

00:33:16.000 Scott Adams, the creator of Dilibert and one of the most insightful political commentators of our time, who passed away this week at the age of 68 after a battle with cancer.

00:33:31.000 Scott was one of the first people to understand what was happening with my father's political movement back in 2015.

00:33:40.000 Before anyone else got it, he understood it.

00:33:43.000 He understood the messaging.

00:33:44.000 He understood why it resonated.

00:33:46.000 He got it, and it cost him dearly.

00:33:49.000 Scott recognized that my father was speaking to something real.

00:33:54.000 He was speaking something powerful in the American spirit.

00:33:58.000 He was mocked for it.

00:34:00.000 He was attacked for it, but he was right. 1.00

00:34:04.000 My father posted on True Social, sadly, the great influencer Scott Adams has passed away.

00:34:11.000 He was a fantastic guy who liked and respected me when it wasn't fashionable to do so.

00:34:17.000 He bravely fought a long battle against a terrible disease.

00:34:22.000 He will be truly missed.

00:34:24.000 God bless you, Scott.

00:34:26.000 And in his final message, Scott wanted everyone to know something important.

00:34:33.000 After a lifetime as an atheist, Scott accepted Jesus Christ as his Lord and Savior before he passed.

00:34:42.000 He got it.

00:34:43.000 Here's his final message.

00:34:46.000 Whenever I talk about this simulation, and especially when I talk about my own impending death, many of my Christian friends and Christian followers say to me, Scott, you still have time.

00:35:02.000 You should convert to Christianity. 1.00

00:35:05.000 And I usually just let that sit because that's not an argument I want to have.

00:35:12.000 I've not been a believer.

00:35:16.000 But I also have respect for any Christian who goes out of their way to try to convert me.

00:35:22.000 Because how would I believe you and believe your own religion if you're not trying to convert me?

00:35:29.000 So I have great respect. for people who care enough that they want me to convert and then go out of their way to try to convince me.

00:35:40.000 So you're going to hear for the first time today that it is my plan to convert.

00:35:47.000 So I still have time, but my understanding is you're never too late.

00:35:53.000 And on top of that, any skepticism I have about reality would certainly be instantly answered if I wake up in heaven.

00:36:04.000 I do believe that the dominant Christian theory is that I would wake up in heaven if I have a good life.

00:36:12.000 Yeah, I don't necessarily have to state something in advance.

00:36:17.000 And so, to my Christian friends, yes, it's coming.

00:36:24.000 So you don't need to talk me into it.

00:36:26.000 I am now convinced that the risk reward is completely smart.

00:36:33.000 If it turns out that there's nothing there, I've lost nothing.

00:36:37.000 But I've respected your wishes, and I like doing that.

00:36:41.000 If it turns out there is something there, and the Christian model is the closest to it, I win. 0.99

00:36:49.000 So with your permission, I promise you that I will convert.

00:36:57.000 Scott understood persuasion probably better than anyone else.

00:37:02.000 He understood when my father spoke and when the media would mock him for it, what real Americans actually heard, what they got out of it, what everyone refused to listen to.

00:37:13.000 He understood systems thinking.

00:37:16.000 He understood why people believe what they believe.

00:37:19.000 And he spent his final years helping millions of Americans understand what was really happening in our country.

00:37:28.000 There was truly no one else like him.

00:37:31.000 Rest in peace, Scott.

00:37:33.000 You made a difference and we won't forget it.
