00:08:51.000Well, there's a new AI web browser from Perplexity called Comet that is completely changing the game.
00:08:58.000Comet feels like having a Personal assistant living in your browser that can actually do things for you across the internet.
00:09:05.000Yes, actually do things, not just give you answers.

00:09:55.000Again, guys, that's PPLX, PPLX.ai slash D O N J R. It's pretty easy.
00:10:04.000And also, guys, don't forget about the Birch Gold Group, where you can diversify your savings and protect your future.
00:10:11.000The Trump administration is moving fast to right all of the left's wrongs.
00:10:17.000But with all the damage we've seen the Democrats do, it's always smart to be prepared.
00:10:22.000And that's why thousands of Americans are buying gold now from the Birch Gold Group.
00:10:54.000And Birch Gold will send you a free info kit on gold.
00:10:58.000There's no obligation, only useful information.
00:11:01.000It's about learning more and educating yourself.
00:11:05.000With an A plus rating with the Better Business Bureau and tens of thousands of happy customers, take control of protecting your savings today.
00:11:21.000Okay, guys, let's start with something that should unite every single American, regardless of politics, and that's about protecting our children.
00:11:35.000It seems so obvious, but it's not, apparently to the left, and all of the insanity because yesterday in the Oval Office, we got new information about the success of the FBI's operation to restore justice.
00:11:51.000The numbers are absolutely staggering.
00:12:44.000You just don't know how bad it is, and probably how much worse it got in the last four years under Biden.
00:12:52.000You had 8700 arrests of violent criminals.
00:12:55.000You had 2200 firearms cheese off the streets permanently to safeguard our communities.
00:13:01.000You had 421 kilograms of fentanyl cheese.
00:13:04.000Just to put that in perspective, that's enough to kill 55 million Americans alone.
00:13:10.000You had 45,000 kilograms of cocaine seeds, and thanks to our Department of Justice partners, you had 2100 indictments in three months from June to September alone.
00:13:21.000Mr. President, that in and of itself should be historic for a four-year presidency.
00:13:26.000You did that in seven months because you let good cops be cops, and you partnered Us with the right people, the Department of Justice to put the handcuffs on and bring them to court and put them in prison.
00:13:35.000And if that weren't enough, when you look at the year for the entire seven-month period that we're talking about here, if you look at the past four years of the Biden administration, 16,000, 17,000, 15,000, 15,000.
00:13:47.000That's the number of arrests year over year of violent felons in this country for the Biden administration.
00:13:52.000Mr. President, in seven months, you have 27, 28,600 arrests of violent feminists in just seven months alone, because of your leadership and the dedication of the men and women at the FBI who want to go out there and do the job they were prevented from doing because that department used to be weaponized and politicized.
00:14:11.000And this is what happens when you take out the fangs of weaponization.
00:14:14.000This number is historic by every metric.
00:14:17.00028,000 people have been arrested, violent felons alone.
00:14:21.000And then when you go over there and look at some of these charts, if you don't mind, I'll just hop over here.
00:14:26.000Look at the metrics for not just five crime but the homeland.
00:14:31.000Mr. President, during your administration, the FBI has found and located 5400 children.
00:14:38.000That is a 30% increase year to date over the last administration.
00:14:43.000Violent crimes against children, arrest alone are up 10%.
00:14:47.000Gang arrests are up 210% in the last seven months alone.
00:14:52.000And transnational organized crime, which Stephen Miller has been a great partner in, is up over 12% alone.
00:14:58.000These numbers are historic just as a snapshot.
00:15:02.000But just so people don't think we're focusing on violent crime alone.
00:15:05.000The national security mission, Mr. President, your leadership has never been stronger.
00:15:11.000A hundred and fifteen kids, a hundred and fifteen future lives saved, futures saved, a hundred and fifteen families who who got their children back because this administration refuses to simply look the other way.
00:15:29.000This all happened in an in a week, in under a week, in five days.
00:16:51.000Decades ago, San Francisco was one of the crown jewels of America.
00:16:57.000Now it's a cautionary tale of what happens when radical leftist politics run unchecked, right?
00:17:06.000Homelessness, open air, drug markets, crime, businesses fleeing, and so much more.
00:17:15.000But like, what if I mean if California won't even protect its own citizens, I guess the Trump administration will.
00:17:25.000And I imagine the people, other than the criminals, and the politicians who allowed it to get this way, will probably be all in favor of it.
00:17:34.000And while most Democrats are against cleaning up cities because it makes Trump look good, we're finding some sanity inside the mind of John Fetterman, Democrat Pennsylvania Senator.
00:19:05.000President Trump was in my state was shot in the head.
00:19:09.000And if that would have could you imagine where our nation would be if he was hit in the same way with Kirk, uh we really got to turn the temperature down.
00:19:17.000And we can agree to disagree on these kinds of things.
00:19:21.000But right now, uh shutting down the government.
00:19:29.000He called out his own party for the government shutdown, which we all know is true, right?
00:19:34.000The government is shut down because Democrats are insisting on funding healthcare for illegals with American tax dollars.
00:19:42.000He said Democrats are more interested in political games than keeping the government open.
00:19:50.000How do you think Democrats are responding?
00:19:52.000Well, guys, not shockingly, but according to a new report in Axios, Democrats now want to find a primary challenger to run against him in 2028.
00:20:06.000That's what the political machine does, guys.
00:20:10.000If you use common sense, if you speak the truth, if you break from your party a little bit, they want you out of office as soon as possible, right?
00:20:19.000No different than the Republicans with us or my father.
00:20:24.000But this guy's talking about actually doing sane things.
00:20:31.000Can you imagine if more Democrats were like this?
00:20:35.000if they actually tried to work with Republican citizens, demonizing the majority of the country, do you think what could possibly happen with that?
00:20:44.000But of course, that's not who the Democrats are.
00:20:48.000In fact, some are even perfectly happy taking money from America's enemies.
00:20:56.000Because there's a big governor's race out in New Jersey, and the Democrat candidate is getting some campaign cash from, you guessed it, folks, the Chinese Communist Party.
00:21:26.000Uh Pinney, the founder of Wang Zhang America Corporation, donated $60,000 to the one giant leap super PAC, which is backing Mikey Sherrill's campaign in the form of two checks, in addition to giving her the $5,800 individual max donation directly to Cheryl's campaign this summer, according to records reviewed by Fox News Digital, and first reported by the New York Post.
00:21:51.000Now, Fox Business has also reached out to Cheryl's campaign on this, and we are waiting for a response.
00:21:56.000We have not gotten any answers to any of this.
00:21:58.000But we talk about the Communist Party of China all the time on this program.
00:22:02.000What do you know about the relation uh relationship between your opponent and the C CP?
00:22:08.000I know what you know because she won't answer any questions about it, but this is what happened in the debate last week.
00:22:13.000It was news of this, it was news of contributions from the opioid manufacturers.
00:22:18.000It was her being punished at the Naval Academy.
00:22:20.000It was her breaking federal law on stock trades and stock reporting.
00:22:24.000New York Times reports that while sitting on the House Armed Services Committee, she's trading defense stocks.
00:22:28.000I really think what happened last week, Maria, she cracked.
00:22:31.000And when she cracked, she got very reckless.
00:22:33.000And that reckless lay that led to that blatant lie that I filed my defamation suit about.
00:22:38.000Well, political analysts are pointing out the importance of this race and the outcome ahead of the 2026 midterms.
00:22:45.000Fox News contributor Liz Peake wrote about it in this Fox News digital op ed.
00:22:50.000She's questioning will the Garden State voters throw out the politicians who've driven people to leave the state.
00:22:59.000Like a business tycoon whose company has deep ties to the CCP, his late father-in-law and business partner was literally honored as an outstanding communist party member back in 2021.
00:23:34.000And the Democrat candidate we're referring to here is Congresswoman Mickey Sherrill, who currently sits on the House Committee focused on countering the CCP.
00:23:49.000I mean, if you want to talk about insanity, this is it.
00:23:52.000If you want to talk about what's really at stake in our country, it's not just policy differences, it's whether we can even speak without being attacked or killed.
00:24:05.000The left has spent years, years trying to silence conservative voices.
00:24:11.000It started with deplatforming, then it went on to canceled culture, then it went to calling everyone they disagree with Nazis and fascists, and then it went to debanking.
00:24:29.000It led to assassinations, repeated acts of violence, ongoing threats, and celebrations by those who maybe wouldn't have pulled the trigger themselves, but certainly weren't against it.
00:24:44.000You could tell all that with the celebrations about what happened to Charlie Kirk and certainly what they tried to do to my father nine or ten months ago.
00:24:54.000But to the left, they haven't learned any lessons.
00:24:59.000Just listen to this left-wing lunatic speaking on a panel with Charlie's longtime friend last night.
00:25:06.000But if you look at any polls according to uh CSIS, political violence overwhelmingly comes from the right.
00:25:12.000These mass shootings come from the right.
00:25:14.000And when it comes to the leaked text messages that came out 24 hours ago, I don't think it's fair to say there's an undercurrent just on the left.
00:25:20.000I know what you mean, but there's also an undercurrent on the right.
00:25:23.000There is something deep and dark boiling inside the GOP.
00:25:26.000The study you just cited didn't include things like, you know, the Tesla attacks that were against uh uh Elon Musk and Tesla.
00:25:34.000The study shows lethal deaths, lethal violence, lethal violence comes disproportionately from the right.
00:25:55.000My point is that time and time again, whether it's the you know, the Aaron Burnett on CNN, God bless her, she tried to quote the same study.
00:26:04.000They didn't even they didn't include a lot of what we would consider left-wing violence in that study, okay?
00:26:09.000First of all, second of all, my dear friend was just killed by left-wing violence, assassinated in cold blood.
00:26:16.000There has been how many ice facilities that have been targeted?
00:26:18.000And when you when you look at what's happening right now, I agree with you on the radicalization, but you have to be honest about the fact that you even admitted, well, this year it's progressives.
00:26:28.000Well, what about what about George Floyd?
00:26:31.000What about the that that whole summer of looting and rioting?
00:26:34.000Listen, there has been a trend of I think you're, you know, let's just say, let's be gracious and say, in the ear of Trump, maybe it's a reaction to Trump.
00:26:44.000I'm open to those discussions, but there is a justification for political violence.
00:26:48.000It shows up in every poll, and it's coming from progressives.
00:26:52.000I I don't want to hear about both sides.
00:26:56.000You know, they find a thread of a couple college kids that are young Republicans and said some stupid stuff, and they were like, oh, we're gonna bat, you know, no, no, no.
00:27:35.000So many longtime friends, people who were there at the very beginning of turning point.
00:27:40.000Um I watched Erica Kirk stand there in the Rose Garden with incredible strength and grace.
00:27:47.000Uh, I saw an incredible display, a patriotic display of passion and motivation to carry on the work, the mission that Charlie dedicated his life to.
00:28:00.000Check out what my father said, and then I'm sure we'll get into a little bit of what Erica said too.
00:28:06.000Today we're here to honor and remember a fearless warrior for liberty, beloved leader who galvanized the next generation like nobody I've ever seen before, and an American patriot of the deepest conviction, the finest quality and the highest caliber, the late great Charlie Kirk.
00:28:29.000He was assassinated in the prime of his life for boldly speaking the truth, for living his faith and relentlessly fighting for a better and stronger America.
00:28:41.000And that's why this afternoon, it's my privilege to posthumously award Charles James Kirk, our nation's highest civilian honor, the presidential medal of freedom.
00:28:58.000A servant, a leader, a father, a young patriot who believed in this country with every fiber of his being, who believed in his fake, who believed in freedom and free speech and all of the founding tenants of this country.
00:30:22.000Here's Stephen Miller this week laying out the path ahead.
00:30:27.000First of all, let me say how touched I was by President Trump's kind words today, and what an extraordinary honor it is to work for him.
00:30:37.000The work that he has done on public safety these last several months will go down in history as one of the greatest achievements that any president has ever accomplished.
00:30:49.000Just look here at our nation's capital, Sean.
00:30:51.000You and I have talked about this before.
00:30:53.000It is the largest, steepest, fastest reduction in violent crime ever recorded at any place in the history of our country.
00:31:01.000And I think you would say the history of any country.
00:31:07.000This is now one of the safest cities in the world from one of the most violent cities in the world.
00:31:11.000In Memphis, where President Trump has launched his task force in full force less than two weeks ago.
00:31:18.000We are already hearing reports of crime reductions that are so staggering, people can't even believe it.
00:31:24.000And we see videos posted online all day by residents who are saying for the first time that they can Remember, their kids can play outside, they can walk down the street, they can go where they want to go, do what they want to do.
00:31:36.000They feel liberated because they have been liberated.
00:31:39.000At that same press conference today, President Trump talked about how, under his leadership and direction, the FBI has arrested and removed and prosecuted with the Department of Justice over 20,000 of the most violent criminals on earth in just the last several months.
00:32:09.000We have Democrat politicians, Democrat judges, Democrat prosecutors, setting loose thugs, hoodlums, gangbangers, and cartel killers that are stabbing children to death, murdering innocent women on the subway, mugging people in broad daylight, making life hell for law-abiding citizens.
00:32:28.000And we have President Trump using DOJ, DHS, and yes, the U.S. military to make our city safe again for all Americans.
00:32:37.000I am so proud, Sean, to be able to be a small part of President Trump's leadership and his effort to make America secure for our people.
00:32:45.000Honestly, the left is terrified right now.
00:32:49.000Okay, because this administration is delivering on its promises.
00:34:26.000Of course, uh, for the best analysis, we turn to the ladies over at the view, where Joy Bear is now claiming that she would book conservatives.
00:34:38.000They're just too afraid to come on the show.
00:34:42.000I think that we should have more Republicans on the show, but they don't want to come on.
00:35:38.000I was like, what were you doing watching the view?
00:35:40.000You know, but if you want something really special, you have to call ABC News or ABC in general and ask them to release the footage during the commercial breaks when I was on the show.
00:35:51.000Because I was there to promote a book.
00:36:24.000I got like eight or ten tickets for myself, and it's a crowd of like 150, 200 people.
00:36:28.000So like 5% of the crowd were like my friends.
00:36:31.000And they weren't even all that rowdy or wild.
00:36:33.000But when you bring facts to the view and you push back, the crowd turned enough so that Whoopi Goldberg was screaming at them like a lunatic during the commercial breaks.
00:37:44.000Um download the Rumble app so you can watch it on the big screen TV at your home uh with your friends and families.

00:38:05.000Uh I will talk to you guys all again very soon.
00:38:07.000But in the meantime, uh enjoying a little bit of the country out west.
00:38:12.000So here with some buddies about to go out, do a little bit of uh a little bit of my outdoor activities.
00:38:20.000Uh I know some of you guys know uh I love that kind of stuff, and that's sort of how I get away from it.
00:38:24.000So after the Charlie stuff this week and got some more work done and you know, ran out at West.
00:38:30.000So, you know, hopefully I'll have a successful afternoon.
00:38:32.000But uh if I do, maybe you guys will get some pictures and we'll talk about it on the show on Monday.
