Triggered - Donald Trump Jr - Fraudbusters: Taking Down One Scam at a Time, LIVE | Triggered Ep.353

00:05:19.000 Hey guys, welcome to another huge episode of Triggered.

00:05:22.000 I hope everyone's doing well and that you're having a great Thursday.

00:05:26.000 Hopefully, you'll have an awesome weekend leading up into the 4th of July.

00:05:29.000 Next weekend's going to be pretty epic for the 250th anniversary of America.

00:05:34.000 But it's great to be with you guys all live in studio.

00:05:38.000 Maybe at the end, I'll even take a few of your questions.

00:05:41.000 And today, we're going to cover something really simple.

00:05:46.000 The left has built an entire political machine out of institutions that were.

00:05:52.000 Really, supposed to help people.

00:05:53.000 They did nothing but that.

00:05:55.000 They did everything but that, I guess.

00:05:57.000 But they were supposed to help people.

00:05:58.000 Healthcare programs, foreign aid, universities, NGOs, clinics, border policy, election rules, all of it, right?

00:06:07.000 They were designed to protect people.

00:06:09.000 And again, they did everything but that.

00:06:11.000 And certainly did everything but protect the American people.

00:06:15.000 They take something that sounds compassionate, they run public money through it, your money, your taxpayer money through it.

00:06:23.000 They build an activist class around it who's enriching themselves in the process.

00:06:28.000 And the second you ask where the money went, suddenly you're the bad guy. 0.94

00:06:34.000 You're racist, you're misogynist, you're transphobic for asking basic questions. 0.96

00:06:39.000 And now we're seeing that extremist activist try to take control of the entire Democrat Party. 0.98

00:06:47.000 There were a lot of them in there before.

00:06:49.000 Now they're going to try to run the party, especially in New York.

00:06:54.000 So today we'll get into all of it.

00:06:58.000 Frankly, if you go onto Polymarket and check out the election tabs, you can see how this insanity is affecting predictions for 26 and 28.

00:07:08.000 Let's just say the entire Democrat Party is in disarray, and if they get their way, communism is right on the horizon.

00:08:43.000 And now, let's get into all of the top headlines of the week, guys, because there's a lot going on. 1.00

00:08:49.000 And I want to start with the worldview of the current Democrat Party and their cabal of Democratic Socialists, which basically means Communists.

00:09:01.000 Once you understand the worldview, every scam, every fraud, every nonsense that we've covered, you know, everyone that we've covered, frankly, on this show since its inception, afterwards totally makes sense.

00:09:17.000 Last night, my father said something about the Democrat Party that basically sums up where they are right now.

00:09:24.000 Check this out.

00:09:26.000 Radical left, they're going, really, you know, you talk about the Democrat socialists, you took really, it's really communists.

00:09:33.000 These people, I watched that woman last night.

00:09:36.000 That's not a socialist.

00:09:37.000 I know socialists. 1.00

00:09:39.000 That woman is a communist.

00:09:42.000 And, you know, what they don't say is that I was 16 and 0 last night.

00:09:46.000 But mine were a little more boring, a little more mainstream.

00:09:50.000 They were Republican conservatives.

00:09:52.000 But we were 16 and 0.

00:09:54.000 And if you look over the last two and a half years, we're about 347 and just about 0.

00:10:00.000 That's pretty good.

00:10:01.000 But nobody writes that.

00:10:03.000 But he picked three.

00:10:05.000 They won. 0.99

00:10:06.000 They beat a guy named Dan Goldman, who's a loser. 0.73

00:10:09.000 He was one of my prosecutors, one of my many prosecutors that they used on me. 0.73

00:10:13.000 Dan Goldman, not a good prosecutor, fortunately, but he's now looking for a job.

00:10:20.000 I was very surprised to see, because he's a pretty liberal guy.

00:10:24.000 When they go more liberal than Dan Goldman, they're really into never, neverland.

00:10:31.000 Does this tell you that the Democratic Party's 2028 nominee?

00:10:36.000 Will likely be or could likely be a democratic socialist.

00:10:40.000 Well, it should make it easier for Republicans because most of the nation is composed of sane people.

00:10:48.000 They don't want to.

00:10:49.000 You know, if you look throughout history, go back thousands of years, you've always had socialism and communism by different names.

00:10:58.000 It's never ever worked.

00:11:00.000 It's not going to work this time, David.

00:11:03.000 That's exactly right.

00:11:05.000 You can call it democratic socialism, you can call it progressive.

00:11:10.000 You can call it sunshines and rainbows and unicorn farts and look through rose colored glasses.

00:11:15.000 You can do all of those things.

00:11:17.000 You can call something whatever you want, but that doesn't make it so.

00:11:21.000 It doesn't make it true.

00:11:23.000 Because when the government becomes a machine that takes from normal citizens, gives to aligned activists who don't actually build anything or actually help at all, and then protects criminals, opens borders, funds activists, and punishes anyone who questions it, that's not compassion or democratic.

00:11:43.000 That's communism.

00:11:44.000 Like, The almost exact definition of communism.

00:11:48.000 And you're seeing it in real time in New York.

00:11:51.000 For example, a DSA Democrat just won the nomination in New York 13, beating an incumbent House Democrat.

00:12:00.000 And they aren't even trying to hide behind the usual talking points.

00:12:04.000 They're just coming out and saying what they want, especially on their opposition on any kind of border.

00:12:12.000 Check it out.

00:12:14.000 What I've realized is just how deeply.

00:12:17.000 Unjust the very concept of deportation is, right?

00:12:20.000 The idea that, one, the idea that we should deport anybody is just inherently cruel.

00:12:26.000 But then the notion on top of that, that we have a criminal system, an imperfect system, one that we can criticize, right?

00:12:33.000 But one that exists, and yet we subject people to an additional system of punishment on the basis of where they were born, right?

00:12:41.000 Because people go through the criminal system, then they are, many of them go about their lives, try to rebuild their lives.

00:12:47.000 And then are picked up again, re detained in an ICE detention center, which is often also just a prison, and then deported, which is one of the most cruel forms of punishment when you think about the fact that you're ripping somebody from everything they know with nothing but the clothes that they have on their back and putting them in a country that they're entirely unfamiliar with.

00:13:08.000 Think about that.

00:13:09.000 The concept of deportation is just unjust.

00:13:12.000 It's just, it's unjust.

00:13:14.000 So, what does that mean? 1.00

00:13:16.000 If you're here illegally, You can just stay forever. 1.00

00:13:19.000 You can take all of the benefits. 0.99

00:13:20.000 You don't have to contribute or pay tax.

00:13:21.000 You don't have to do anything.

00:13:22.000 You can just get all the upside, none of the down.

00:13:25.000 You get to pay for that.

00:13:25.000 You don't have to pay for it.

00:13:26.000 You, the American citizens, have the privilege of paying for that.

00:13:30.000 If you overwhelm the schools, the hospitals, the shelters, the police, the neighborhoods, too bad.

00:13:37.000 The American citizen just has to absorb all of it because deportation hurts the feelings of the political class.

00:13:45.000 That's what's scary, guys.

00:13:47.000 They're not even pretending anymore.

00:13:48.000 They used to, perhaps a lot of these people definitely believed that.

00:13:52.000 But they wouldn't say it out loud.

00:13:53.000 They did what they could to get elected and they tried behind the scenes.

00:13:57.000 Now, the thought leaders of the Democrat Party, the people who are winning these elections, they're just saying the quiet parts out loud for the first time probably ever.

00:14:07.000 And she didn't stop there.

00:14:09.000 MSDNC asked whether she was a communist.

00:14:13.000 Whether she was a communist, just right out there.

00:14:15.000 And here's how she responded You're going to appear in all sorts of people's ads, all sorts of Republicans' ads, to say, this is what you're going to get if you vote for the Democrats, a communist.

00:14:25.000 You know, I think that is, that framing is one that I've been very proud to be able to say I don't respond to, one in which I have been very intentional to say I won't be reactive.

00:14:38.000 We are presenting a vision of what we're fighting for.

00:14:42.000 And I think for far too long, we have had politics that is reactive to what Republicans are doing.

00:14:48.000 What we need is Democrats who are actually going to present a positive vision, one that sets the tone for what we should be talking about.

00:14:55.000 Which is the issue of affordability, which is the issue of how our budgets are moral documents.

00:15:00.000 If we say that we want to invest in working people in this country, then we need to do that and our budgets need to reflect that.

00:15:06.000 If we say that we value immigration and immigration justice, we need to make sure that that is also reflective in our policy.

00:15:13.000 And so I'm very proud of a campaign that we built that centers those ideals, that centers those values and that vision for what we need as a community.

00:15:23.000 And that's how I'll continue to move forward in Congress.

00:15:27.000 And I think That for far too long, this reactive conversation of what we should be afraid of has prevented us from being able to have a politics of hope and a politics of life that Democrats can actually identify with.

00:15:40.000 When the majority of the Democratic base has been seeking for the Democrats.

00:15:45.000 Yeah, she doesn't respond to that framing, but it's exactly what it is.

00:15:50.000 And this isn't an isolated fringe politician, guys.

00:15:53.000 This is a mainstream Democrat.

00:15:56.000 This is a mainstream person in the Democrat Party at this point.

00:15:59.000 Just look at Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnston, who isn't as concerned about violence in his city, but he is worried about how the city continues to suffer from the legacy of slavery.

00:16:14.000 Turn to another important part of this work.

00:16:17.000 Two years ago, I signed an executive order establishing a task force to shine a light on the harm that slavery and racist policies have caused and continue to cause, particularly the harm that they've caused to black Chicagoans.

00:16:34.000 While more importantly, identifying pathways towards repair, opportunity, and investment.

00:16:40.000 And by the way, the people waiting on the other side of the border hear this insanity and they act accordingly.

00:16:47.000 It's like a welcoming bell.

00:16:49.000 They understand exactly what the Democrat Party is offering, and they are literally just trying to wait it out.

00:16:55.000 They're going to wait, see, until a Democrat gets in power.

00:16:58.000 They know they're going to be able to come in. 0.99

00:17:00.000 They'll know they'll get all the benefits.

00:17:02.000 They'll get all the programs.

00:17:03.000 They'll do this.

00:17:04.000 They probably won't contribute.

00:17:05.000 Many of them haven't.

00:17:06.000 Doesn't mean there's not some that will.

00:17:08.000 The ones that do, and the ones that are great Americans, tend to have gone through the process and done so legally.

00:17:13.000 Watch what they had to say over at DHS.

00:17:18.000 I'm going to get here for the moment, in what he's going to do.

00:17:24.000 The majority of my friends think that we should be able to work in México for a long time, in what he's going to do.

00:17:34.000 When he's going to do, we're going to go to the hospital.

00:17:38.000 Because no, it's not like that.

00:17:41.000 It's a good job for the good.

00:17:45.000 Lingering and going to the hospital, no, I'm going to go to Venezuela.

00:17:51.000 I have a friend who's going to go to Honduras, to El Salvador.

00:17:59.000 They're waiting for Democrats to weaken DHS.

00:18:03.000 They're waiting for my father to not be president.

00:18:06.000 And hope some Democrat will be.

00:18:09.000 They're saying it out loud.

00:18:11.000 They understand that if Democrats get in, they get in.

00:18:15.000 They get all the benefits, your taxpayer dollars, and then.

00:18:18.000 They'll get the right to vote and they'll keep voting for Democrats to keep perpetuating the never ending rift.

00:18:24.000 And yet, Democrats still pretend that this is all some imaginary right wing talking about.

00:18:30.000 I mean, they're saying it in their own words.

00:18:31.000 They're waiting there.

00:18:32.000 Just let's see what happens.

00:18:33.000 Now, the great news is that today, the Supreme Court basically just put a stop sign on some of that insanity.

00:18:43.000 The court sided with the Trump administration and cleared the way for the government to turn people back.

00:18:49.000 At the US Mexico border before they forced their way into the asylum pipeline.

00:18:56.000 It's a big deal.

00:18:58.000 The fact that this was a 6 3 decision tells you how much three of the justices are in the tank for the Democrats.

00:19:06.000 This isn't a complex thing.

00:19:08.000 They also talked about temporary protected status.

00:19:12.000 And the court ruled that temporary is, in fact, temporary.

00:19:14.000 I mean, it's shocking that the word temporary could actually mean temporary.

00:19:18.000 I mean, Wow, my mind's blown.

00:19:22.000 Right?

00:19:23.000 It's not complicated.

00:19:24.000 The activists wanted the rule to be if you get to the line of the Mexico side, you basically have triggered America's asylum process.

00:19:34.000 The court said no.

00:19:35.000 You don't arrive in the United States while you're still in Mexico.

00:19:39.000 You don't get to convert a foreign side of the border into a waiting room for automatic U.S. processing.

00:19:47.000 You don't get to stand outside the door and claim you're already inside the house.

00:19:52.000 That doesn't work.

00:19:54.000 That's a huge immigration win. 0.76

00:19:56.000 And it's bigger than one case because it goes directly to the heart of the scam. 0.79

00:20:02.000 And by the way, that's why my father is pushing the Save America Act because this is all connected borders, voting, citizenship, welfare benefits, public money.

00:20:16.000 If you don't define who the country is for, the left will define it for you.

00:20:22.000 And their definition is always the same.

00:20:26.000 Whoever helps them politically.

00:20:28.000 Check this out. 0.73

00:20:34.000 No, the Save Act should be a disruptive compromise.

00:20:34.000 Not really.

00:20:37.000 It's voter ID, it's proof of citizenship, and it's also the mail-in ballots.

00:20:44.000 We want mail-in ballots for the military if they're away.

00:20:47.000 We want them for people that are ill or people that are in some form handicapped or have a hard time or people even that are on vacation.

00:20:55.000 I'm open to that.

00:20:56.000 But mail-in ballots, you have to vote because we have a lot of rigged elections. 0.69

00:21:01.000 And then we added in men in women's sports as a no-no. 0.96

00:21:07.000 No men in women's sports and no transgender mutilization. 0.97

00:21:12.000 Of our children. 0.89

00:21:14.000 These are 99% issues, and we have to do it.

00:21:17.000 We have to protect.

00:21:18.000 Look at what's gone on in Los Angeles and California.

00:21:22.000 The vote still hasn't been counted.

00:21:25.000 What's it, two weeks now?

00:21:27.000 It still hasn't been counted.

00:21:28.000 And I don't know Spencer Pratt, but I watched him, and he was doing really nicely.

00:21:32.000 All of a sudden, he's out.

00:21:34.000 And I said he was going to be out because he was doing well.

00:21:37.000 And then a week later, they started saying, oh, he's starting to lose favor.

00:21:42.000 He's starting to lose.

00:21:43.000 I said, they just rigged the election.

00:21:45.000 And they were going to do that with Steve Hilton.

00:21:46.000 He's a good man.

00:21:48.000 And I asked the U.S. Attorney to go look at their votes.

00:21:50.000 And as soon as I did that, they announced that Steve Hilton would be a finalist.

00:21:55.000 So, no, we have rigged elections.

00:21:58.000 Now, in my case, I made it too big to rig.

00:22:00.000 Remember the expression, too big to rig?

00:22:03.000 But we have rigged, and we have to have voter ID.

00:22:05.000 If we don't have voter ID and proof of citizenship, but basically it's the Save America Act.

00:22:12.000 Everybody wants it.

00:22:14.000 Everybody is it, including Democrats.

00:22:17.000 87% of Democrats.

00:22:19.000 Not the leaders, because they want it cheap.

00:22:19.000 Want it.

00:22:22.000 Their policy is so bad, they're unelectable.

00:22:25.000 Wow, guys.

00:22:26.000 Photo ID, proof of citizenship, no mail in chaos.

00:22:32.000 This is the stuff that I spoke about with Bernie Moreno of Ohio, the senator there, just on Monday.

00:22:38.000 These are things that happen all over the world.

00:22:39.000 That happened in Colombia in the election this last week.

00:22:41.000 And miraculously, once they got rid of the billions that USAID was funding to push left wing BS in those countries, They got conservative wins.

00:22:52.000 They didn't have this nonsense.

00:22:53.000 They're able to count millions of ballots in hours.

00:22:57.000 Hard to believe.

00:22:58.000 These are 99% issues, meaning normal people understand them immediately.

00:23:05.000 Why can't the Senate?

00:23:07.000 Why can't Mitch McConnell or Lisa Murkowski? 1.00

00:23:11.000 Aren't they supposed to represent their voters in those places?

00:23:14.000 And by the way, even Democrats want it, right?

00:23:14.000 Those people want it.

00:23:16.000 It's an overwhelming issue, even on the Democrat side.

00:23:20.000 The only reason Washington acts like these are controversial things is because the Democrat machine and some D.C. Republicans refuse to use any common sense.

00:23:31.000 The Democrats have taken advantage of forever, and some of those weak Republicans probably get a tiny piece of the action.

00:23:37.000 And so it's just like, oh, well, they get the disproportionate piece of the action, but I guess if they're going to give us a little bit of it, we'll keep voting for this BS or preventing a vote on something as significant as this, again, that all of the people want.

00:23:50.000 Because the same swamp that wants no border, no deportation, no citizenship line, and no election verification also wants you to stop asking where all the money went and where to find it.

00:24:06.000 Whether it's daycare centers, whether it's hospice centers, Medicare scams, you name it.

00:24:12.000 They don't want to know where the fraud came from.

00:24:13.000 They were happy with it.

00:24:15.000 Didn't really matter, it didn't affect them that much.

00:24:17.000 Billions of dollars down the drain.

00:24:21.000 They couldn't care less.

00:24:23.000 And the numbers in the healthcare sector alone are absolutely shocking.

00:24:28.000 Which brings us to yet another example of just how far the left will go to build a fraud factory.

00:24:35.000 It's something called 340B.

00:24:38.000 Now, 340B was supposed to be a drug discount program for safety net providers.

00:24:44.000 The idea was simple enough.

00:24:47.000 If a hospital or a clinic serves a lot of low income or vulnerable patients, it can buy certain outpatient drugs from manufacturers at a steep discount.

00:24:57.000 Then that provider can still bill Medicare, Medicaid, private insurance, whoever, at the normal reimbursement rate.

00:25:04.000 And the difference?

00:25:06.000 The savings, you know, the spread, the delta, is supposed to help that provider stretch scarce resources and keep the doors open and expand care for people who actually need it.

00:25:17.000 Sounds nice, right?

00:25:18.000 Sounds wonderful.

00:25:19.000 Of course.

00:25:21.000 There are a million transparency problems here.

00:25:24.000 Patients do not always see the discount directly.

00:25:27.000 Hospitals and clinics do not always clearly account for where the savings and revenue go.

00:25:32.000 And a huge amount of this now runs through contract pharmacies, third party administrators, billing systems, fees, and a bunch of middlemen.

00:25:40.000 And who knows what else?

00:25:42.000 When you create a huge pot of money, give powerful hospitals and clinics access to it, let them run it through a bunch of middlemen, and don't require real transparency on where every dollar goes, you don't just create a health care problem, you create a fraud problem.

00:26:01.000 And it goes even further.

00:26:03.000 Frankly, it goes much further than that.

00:26:05.000 Federally qualified health centers generating millions in drug markup profits, providing little clarity care.

00:26:12.000 While raking in subsidies intended for underserved patients?

00:26:16.000 And of course, you know, this story brings us back to the fraud capital of America, Minnesota.

00:26:21.000 Everybody watching this show already knows the Minnesota fraud issue.

00:26:26.000 Feeding our future, welfare fraud, Somali daycare fraud, and it gets even worse. 0.89

00:26:31.000 In Minnesota, we see it with Somali community networks and the relationship connected to Ilan Omar's family.

00:26:38.000 And we see it with Omar's $2.2 million in earmarks to an organization run by her sister connected to this exact program.

00:26:47.000 And it's not just Minnesota, shockingly.

00:26:49.000 I know you're shocked.

00:26:49.000 You're surprised to hear this.

00:26:52.000 Look at California.

00:26:53.000 Look at the way big healthcare nonprofits and hospital systems become left wing political actors campaign money, ballot fights, lobbying, government grants, public programs, 340B money, and all of it starts blending together.

00:27:09.000 And then they tell you it's healthcare.

00:27:12.000 But in reality, there's built in kickbacks for everyone who gets to touch it along the way.

00:27:19.000 It's just another way for politically connected health systems to print money while Democrats get the political upside.

00:27:26.000 Is the 340B program helping poor patients afford medicine? 0.88

00:27:30.000 Or is it freeing up money inside activist health systems to push ideological medicine, gender activism, and political advocacy that taxpayers never voted to fund?

00:27:45.000 Unfortunately, guys, I think we all know the answer.

00:27:47.000 Hospital systems, contract pharmacies, abortion clinics, illegal immigration services, campaign money.

00:27:53.000 All working together to get rich off of you taxpayers while fueling the left wing woke fraud machine.

00:28:01.000 And while we're on public money getting routed through respectable sounding institutions, let's talk a bit more about USAID because this story is absolutely unbelievable.

00:28:13.000 New reporting shows that Anwar al Wallaki, an American citizen who later became a high ranking figure in Al Qaeda, received US taxpayer funded.

00:28:27.000 College.

00:28:29.000 Anwar al Wallaki, Al Qaeda. 0.79

00:28:32.000 He received U.S. taxpayer funded college. 0.85

00:28:36.000 You got to pay for his college.

00:28:38.000 You struggled to pay for your own kids' college, but congratulations. 0.62

00:28:40.000 You all got to chip in on Anwar al Wallaki before he joined Al Qaeda and maybe he was already in Al Qaeda.

00:28:47.000 Who cares?

00:28:48.000 The Democrats didn't matter.

00:28:49.000 He was able to get taxpayer funded college after claiming he was born in Yemen, even though he was actually born in Las Cruces, New Mexico. 0.61

00:29:00.000 You can't make it up.

00:29:02.000 So let me break this down.

00:29:03.000 The story isn't that some bureaucrat in 1990 should have known that Al Wallaki would become an Al Qaeda terrorist, although, to be honest, I'm sure there were probably signs. 0.65

00:29:13.000 There's always signs.

00:29:15.000 The story is actually worse in a different way.

00:29:18.000 The system was so sloppy, so easy to game, that a guy born in America could claim foreign birth and get U.S. taxpayer support through a State Department and USAID pipeline.

00:29:32.000 And why were we benefiting foreigners over Americans to begin with, you might ask? 0.51

00:29:38.000 I don't know. 0.86

00:29:40.000 I don't think anyone with a brain knows.

00:29:42.000 I mean, think about that. 0.97

00:29:44.000 You were better off going to college saying you're a foreigner than an American because you got more benefits.

00:29:50.000 And years later, that same man becomes a jihadist tied to the 9 11 hijackers. 0.86

00:29:56.000 Wonderful work, guys. 0.95

00:29:57.000 Great stuff.

00:29:57.000 You know, with people who are making decisions like that, who needs enemies?

00:30:03.000 Who needs Satan?

00:30:06.000 You sort of have them all right there.

00:30:08.000 So maybe, just maybe, when people say audit USAID, they're not being crazy.

00:30:16.000 They're not killing people.

00:30:18.000 They're not being racist, transphobic, misogynist, nationalistic.

00:30:22.000 They're using common sense to root out fraud.

00:30:26.000 Common sense, the only thing that's not so common in Washington.

00:30:29.000 Maybe when people say foreign aid programs need, I don't know, scrutiny.

00:30:35.000 They know what they're talking about because they see this stuff with their own eyes day in and day out.

00:30:40.000 Maybe it needs a little bit of scrutiny.

00:30:42.000 Maybe it needs a lot of scrutiny.

00:30:44.000 Maybe they understand that a government that can't verify who it's funding is not actually compassionate.

00:30:51.000 It's dangerous.

00:30:53.000 It's homicidal.

00:30:55.000 It's civilization ending.

00:30:58.000 And speaking of which, remember the Eco Health Alliance and the Wuhan Lab?

00:31:03.000 And if you've watched the show, you know where this story is going.

00:31:07.000 The USAID's PREDICT program, a virus research program started in 2009, partnered with EcoHealth Alliance.

00:31:16.000 The program trained people, identified viruses, and supported lab and surveillance networks around the world, including the Wuhan Institute of Virology.

00:31:27.000 They were working together.

00:31:29.000 Anthony Fauci knew about it.

00:31:32.000 They all knew about it.

00:31:34.000 So maybe the virus came from the lab that was studying the exact virus that.

00:31:39.000 Managed to plague the world that started at ground zero in the town where it all started.

00:31:45.000 You know, we were all conspiracy theorists, and Don, you're not a virologist.

00:31:47.000 Like, no, I'm not a virologist. 0.97

00:31:49.000 I'm not retarded, though. 1.00

00:31:49.000 It's like, it's not that hard. 1.00

00:31:52.000 Right?

00:31:53.000 In the exact place where the outbreak started, right?

00:31:55.000 So, yes, another conspiracy theory that happens to be totally true.

00:32:02.000 They knew about it, they covered it up, they lied about it forever, and nothing happens.

00:32:08.000 And while we're exposing all the left wing corruption of the past, The Trump administration is taking action right here in the present.

00:32:16.000 Check this out.

00:32:18.000 Yeah, no, it would be unacceptable to me.

00:32:24.000 Because we have numerous strengths, and if you did that for them, you'd have to do it for other people.

00:32:28.000 You have other strengths.

00:32:29.000 I wouldn't allow it there either.

00:32:31.000 Yeah, it would be a game changer.

00:32:35.000 No toll booths for hostile regimes.

00:32:37.000 No shipping blackmail.

00:32:39.000 Wow.

00:32:40.000 No fees on the world economy because some bad actor controls a strategic choke point.

00:32:46.000 When disaster hits a country with a corrupt regime sitting on top of critical resources, you don't treat it like a local weather story.

00:32:54.000 You watch it like a national security story.

00:32:56.000 Because that's how serious countries think.

00:32:59.000 Because it is a national security story.

00:33:03.000 Now bring it back home.

00:33:04.000 What's the common thread through all of this, guys?

00:33:07.000 It's not just 340B, it's not just USAID, it's not just deportation.

00:33:13.000 It is the machine.

00:33:15.000 The machine says the border can't be enforced.

00:33:19.000 And my father is saying something very different.

00:33:21.000 The country belongs to its citizens, the money belongs to the taxpayers.

00:33:27.000 The healthcare program belongs to the patients it was meant to help.

00:33:32.000 The border belongs to the United States.

00:33:34.000 The election belongs to American citizens.

00:33:37.000 And the government actually works for us.

00:33:41.000 That's what drives them crazy because transparency is fatal to their model.

00:33:48.000 So remember that.

00:33:49.000 Don't let the left divide and define compassion as never asking questions, right?

00:33:56.000 You're allowed to ask whatever the hell you want.

00:33:58.000 And you should.

00:34:00.000 We actually all have to become unafraid to ask those questions.

00:34:03.000 We understand there was a social deterrent to that.

00:34:05.000 We understand there was censorship involved.

00:34:07.000 We're breaking that down piece by piece.

00:34:09.000 But if 10 years later you still think that this is all normal and it shouldn't be happening, you haven't been watching.

00:34:16.000 Don't let them define democracy as never verifying citizenship.

00:34:20.000 It has nothing to do with democracy, it has nothing to do with our republic.

00:34:20.000 That's not democracy.

00:34:24.000 Real government has borders.

00:34:25.000 Ask any other country around the world.

00:34:28.000 Real health care helps patients.

00:34:31.000 Foreign policy should protect Americans, especially American foreign policy.

00:34:37.000 Other countries' foreign policy can be designed to help them, as it should.

00:34:41.000 Real democracy knows who is voting.

00:34:45.000 And leadership does not apologize for asking where the money went.

00:34:50.000 That's the fight.

00:34:52.000 And that's why the left is losing their minds.

00:34:55.000 So I think with that, guys, let's take a couple questions.

00:34:59.000 I'll go down here into the feed and We got a little time, probably got 20, 25 minutes or so.

00:35:06.000 Let's see what you got.

00:35:07.000 So, if you've been talking in there, I apologize.

00:35:09.000 I've probably seen some of the comments while we're playing some of the video clips, but I probably missed a lot of that.

00:35:18.000 Why do we have so many doctors with fake degrees?

00:35:21.000 I don't know if we have a lot of doctors with fake degrees, but I think you have a lot of people that probably shouldn't have been doctors to begin with because they were let in for checking a bunch of boxes rather than their.

00:35:31.000 Academic acumen.

00:35:37.000 Oh, wow, we got breaking news.

00:35:39.000 Dominion, you know, the voting machines, they just dropped their lawsuit against Mike Lindell.

00:35:46.000 That's interesting, where they're trying to say he was lying about all the things that he was saying about the voting machines, which is probably interesting, because if they had such a rock solid case, you'd think they'd go through with it, unless, I don't know, maybe Mike Lindell was right about a bunch of those things.

00:36:02.000 I'm not sure he got everything right.

00:36:02.000 Made a lot of sense.

00:36:04.000 I imagine he got a lot of it right because I was there and I saw a lot of these things.

00:36:08.000 And as a sentient being with a brain and an IQ above three, you start saying, I don't know, this doesn't make sense.

00:36:16.000 You know, whether it was Joe Biden not doing so well in the election in 2020, and all of a sudden, magically, just out of nowhere, at 2 30 in the morning, everything has to stop.

00:36:25.000 And oh, oh, oh, look, 100% of the votes of this, you know, 48% district, they all went to Joe Biden.

00:36:33.000 Just like Spencer Pratt, he's doing pretty good.

00:36:35.000 He may end up in the runoff.

00:36:37.000 He's doing pretty good.

00:36:38.000 Coming in number two.

00:36:39.000 Oh, look at that.

00:36:42.000 Mail in ballots over the coming weeks, weeks.

00:36:45.000 You know, Columbia can do their election in a couple hours.

00:36:47.000 Spencer Pratt, election day.

00:36:49.000 Oh, we don't know.

00:36:50.000 It looks like he's in second place.

00:36:51.000 He's in a solid second place position.

00:36:53.000 Oh, and it's gone.

00:36:54.000 It's like the South Park episode.

00:36:55.000 And it's gone.

00:36:57.000 A week of mail in ballots comes in.

00:36:59.000 Oh, they didn't go for the Democrat who was actually winning, it went for the third place Democrat who would be the guy in one of those elections in California.

00:37:07.000 It's the top two, even if they're from the same party.

00:37:10.000 So, shockingly, they all went, almost all.

00:37:14.000 Like 99% went for the third place Democrat, not for the Democrat who was actually winning and statistically would have gotten the majority of those votes based on how everything else went.

00:37:22.000 Magically, all of the mail in ballots over those coming weeks went to the third place person.

00:37:29.000 It's wild. 0.57

00:37:31.000 Democrats.

00:37:32.000 Yeah, no, it's true.

00:37:33.000 I was with my father last weekend for Father's Day weekend and we put out that poll, which you like better.

00:37:39.000 Democrats, D U M O C R A T S or D U M P O C R A T S.

00:37:44.000 And we put out the poll.

00:37:44.000 People seemed to like Democrats better.

00:37:46.000 I just figured. 0.99

00:37:48.000 I was only concerned that they're like, well, people don't know how to spell dumb. 0.92

00:37:51.000 I was like, you know, I don't know. 0.70

00:37:52.000 Either way, the name hits and it works.

00:37:59.000 Do you fish the Bahamas?

00:38:00.000 What species?

00:38:01.000 I do.

00:38:01.000 You know, I've done everything in the Bahamas from bonefish and some of the stuff in the flats to, you know, offshore stuff for tuna and all of that to, you know, deep dropping.

00:38:12.000 I like to go out with the kids.

00:38:13.000 Sometimes, honestly, with the kids, just getting out there and doing some deep drop stuff for some of the snapper species.

00:38:19.000 And the grouper is a lot of fun.

00:38:21.000 And then we love to go down there for lobster season.

00:38:24.000 I think that starts August 1st.

00:38:26.000 May try to get down there with the kids in August sometime.

00:38:29.000 Let them go do some lobstering.

00:38:31.000 It's just awesome.

00:38:32.000 So, yeah, I do try to get down there a lot.

00:38:37.000 Let's see.

00:38:44.000 Marxist Cuba should be turned into a resort.

00:38:46.000 Listen, I'm hoping that the Cuba situation gets resolved.

00:38:49.000 I have so many great friends here from.

00:38:53.000 Cuba, especially in Florida, obviously is a huge, huge place that they'd love to see their country return to its former glory.

00:39:01.000 So let's see what happens with that.

00:39:03.000 But I think now that Venezuela is cooperating well with us, it seems like Cuba really relied on them for almost everything.

00:39:09.000 So maybe the problem sort of slowly takes care of itself.

00:39:14.000 And we will see.

00:39:17.000 RacerBoy221, please tell your father we love him and that we're praying for his continued success as the best POTUS ever.

00:39:23.000 I appreciate it.

00:39:23.000 Thank you, RacerBoy.

00:39:27.000 Yeah, Cuba, nice beaches.

00:39:28.000 By the way, I bet you Cuba could be an incredible resort destination for a lot of things. 0.90

00:39:37.000 Cito Arecido, remove the pain the Dems caused my family.

00:39:43.000 I don't know what pain they've caused your family. 0.76

00:39:45.000 I think they're causing this whole country a lot of pain, except for those who don't belong here. 0.98

00:39:53.000 Bamlo, does that mean Rupert Murdoch gets his $768 million back from Dominion?

00:39:58.000 It's a good question.

00:40:01.000 You know, I'm sure they signed off whatever waivers they needed to at the time, so I don't know if they can go back and review it now.

00:40:06.000 I think he probably made a bad deal, didn't want to fight it out.

00:40:08.000 That was, you know, shortly after the 2020 election, and everyone was going a little bit woke and they were afraid of their own shadow.

00:40:15.000 And not a lot of people had a lot of conviction.

00:40:18.000 So probably not.

00:40:22.000 I'm sure they got a lot of money out of that one.

00:40:23.000 But yeah, I don't know.

00:40:25.000 But it's actually a good question because I know that was one of those things I'm like, man, it seems like based on the facts that I saw, you would fight it out.

00:40:33.000 But sometimes it's just easier to give in to the machine, you know, as we've seen.

00:40:39.000 Jules75337, how's married life going?

00:40:41.000 It's been great, you know.

00:40:43.000 We're about five weeks in, five weeks tomorrow, I guess.

00:40:47.000 So, so far, so good.

00:40:50.000 Bettina's been great, and we're just having a blast, trying to enjoy the summer, quite a bit of travel, quite a bit of work.

00:40:59.000 So, she's doing well.

00:41:01.000 Do you want, should we get Bettina on the show one time and do a QA with Bettina?

00:41:04.000 I think, I think, I think I could get in a lot of trouble on that one, but should we do a show with Bettina?

00:41:15.000 Have her on here and we can take some of your questions. 1.00

00:41:19.000 Now, with her guys, you got to keep some of the crazy out of it. 1.00

00:41:20.000 I guess this is just a normal, lovely lady. 0.99

00:41:27.000 I think she'd read some of these things and be like, what is going on in the chat there?

00:41:32.000 But yeah, it's a big red, white, and blue.

00:41:36.000 Thanks.

00:41:37.000 You've been an Apprentice fan from day one.

00:41:39.000 I really appreciate that.

00:41:41.000 That was a fun one.

00:41:44.000 Do you think Four Years of Tyrannies shows. 0.99

00:41:48.000 Do you think four years of tranny shows is a bit much? 1.00

00:41:50.000 Yes. 0.93

00:41:51.000 Yes, I think any amount of incessant tranny pushing is quite a lot. 1.00

00:41:59.000 It's been insane. 1.00

00:42:00.000 But, you know, it's interesting.

00:42:01.000 You see the stuff that's coming out now and some of the woke movies.

00:42:06.000 And, you know, and honestly, people have had enough.

00:42:10.000 Oh, Casey J. Gates gifted five subscriptions to Don Jr.

00:42:15.000 I appreciate that.

00:42:16.000 That's awesome.

00:42:16.000 Thank you, guys.

00:42:20.000 Let's see.

00:42:24.000 You'd get in trouble if you brought her on here, Don.

00:42:26.000 I think that's right.

00:42:30.000 I think that's probably right.

00:42:35.000 Hey, Don Jr., you think you might do a hunting expedition sometime?

00:42:37.000 I do a lot of them.

00:42:40.000 If you haven't seen it yet, go check out my outdoor multimedia company called Field Ethos Journal.

00:42:45.000 We do a quarterly print journal, really high end, almost like the old school magazines, hard ish cover, heavy gauge paper, good writing.

00:42:56.000 We're not trying to sell you shit that you'll never actually use, like a lot of the stuff that's out there.

00:43:00.000 So, really good stories, bringing back the old and new, totally unapologetic. 0.92

00:43:05.000 If you haven't checked it out, check out Field Ethos Journal.

00:43:07.000 And if you like, I know we've definitely filmed some of the hunts for that.

00:43:11.000 I haven't necessarily done it on the show.

00:43:12.000 I should probably just run some of those things because we do some cool stuff, you know, whether it's spearfishing, overlanding, the fishing stuff, some of the hunting stuff.

00:43:19.000 Like, eventually I have to get it.

00:43:22.000 I keep talking about it, but I, you know, I got to actually do it sometime because I've already filmed it.

00:43:27.000 I might as well, you know, show you guys.

00:43:29.000 I kind of don't have to do all the warm up for the show.

00:43:33.000 I can just run with that and give you some comments on that one.

00:43:39.000 But yeah, if you haven't checked it out, check out Field Ethos Journal.

00:43:41.000 You can check out Field Ethos on Instagram and subscribe to the mailing list.

00:43:45.000 It's actually pretty funny.

00:43:47.000 There's some good stuff in there, and I think you'll like a lot of the writing, and it's sort of a clue into either my adventures or the adventures of my friends.

00:43:57.000 High Plains Drifter.

00:43:58.000 My mom died last night at 10 p.m. 0.88

00:43:59.000 I'm really sorry to hear that.

00:44:03.000 Ran for you and your family. 0.92

00:44:06.000 Casey Gates, we have pigs to hunt in California, Don.

00:44:10.000 Let's go, player.

00:44:11.000 I live in Florida. 0.99

00:44:12.000 We have more pigs than probably anywhere in the world.

00:44:15.000 And so I just actually went out last weekend with my son doing a thermal hog hunt, and we did, let's just say, really well.

00:44:22.000 I don't even want to say the numbers because people will go nuts.

00:44:26.000 But it was a lot.

00:44:29.000 Suppressed thermal in autoloaders is a.

00:44:34.000 It's a recipe for success out here in Florida.

00:44:37.000 There's so many, and they just do so much damage and destroy so much.

00:44:40.000 Frankly, you can do it every night and never put in a dent, but it's still a lot of fun.

00:44:48.000 Let's see.

00:44:53.000 Kelly Song thanking Casey Gates for the subscription.

00:44:56.000 That's cool.

00:44:58.000 I haven't even seen that feature.

00:45:00.000 You can send someone else a subscription to this or whatever it is, and they can check it out.

00:45:08.000 Let's see.

00:45:11.000 Mad love chat.

00:45:12.000 Yeah, by the way, this one's more sane than often.

00:45:17.000 Sometimes I think I saw some of the guys just blocking some of the people who just repost the same comment over and over and over.

00:45:22.000 And it's like, I'm just, guys, I've probably hit it.

00:45:24.000 I'm just not going to get to it every single time we do one of these.

00:45:27.000 So, you know, it just, you know, doesn't make sense.

00:45:35.000 Contracting the angel on Google terms and they accept USDT.

00:45:39.000 I'm not sure what that's going to do, but I'll keep it under advisement.

00:45:47.000 What's your favorite hunting caliber?

00:45:49.000 Ooh, no more cover ups.

00:45:50.000 Let's see.

00:45:52.000 Honestly, it depends what we're doing.

00:45:53.000 Guns are like knives or fishing rods.

00:46:00.000 You can do everything.

00:46:01.000 Go out with a.375 and you can probably kill everything in the world, but it's not so much fun to shoot at smaller stuff.

00:46:08.000 So I guess.

00:46:11.000 You know, all around big game North America, probably a 300 WinMag.

00:46:16.000 Unless I'm, you know, maybe going to the, you know, brown bear, grizzly bear stuff, then I'd probably go up to that 375 if I'm shooting deer, you know, any of the good 6.5, 6.5 PRC, 6.5 Creedmoor, even some of the good, you know, 6mm cartridges.

00:46:31.000 Obviously, the standards 243.

00:46:33.000 Sometimes it's cool to go out with a lever gun 3030 and, you know, just, you know, stalk stuff in the woods, you know.

00:46:41.000 Money84, we want to see Bettina on your show, okay?

00:46:45.000 I'm trying to keep up.

00:46:47.000 375 versus Ground Squirrel, yeah.

00:46:50.000 I got a story about that.

00:46:51.000 I was not at 375, but we were out in Montana.

00:46:56.000 I was out with Senator Steve Danes and Greg Gian Ford, who's now the governor.

00:47:00.000 And it was sort of a funny story.

00:47:01.000 They were like, hey, Don, can you come out and do a couple campaign events for him when he was running?

00:47:04.000 And I said, sure.

00:47:06.000 They know they can usually bribe me by taking me hunting.

00:47:08.000 So we went out to Engelmar, Montana, which is in the middle of nowhere, the only bar in the nearest town.

00:47:17.000 Literally, like their dishes, it's just slices of raw onion with like some like tangerines on top and like a sauce.

00:47:26.000 So, just to put things into perspective, how remote you are.

00:47:29.000 And they're like, you know, we're shooting prairie dogs.

00:47:31.000 And we were having a blast and did a lot of, you know, got rid of a lot of those rodents that, you know, end up hurting cattle and horses and stuff like that because they dig holes on the ground.

00:47:39.000 Of course, there's a cattle step in it, they break their ankles and then they're done.

00:47:42.000 So, you know, sort of important farming to get rid of.

00:47:45.000 And, you know, I guess we posted something about it and someone in the local paper wrote up.

00:47:49.000 And then it got to the New York Times.

00:47:51.000 And the New York Times has this crazy story, and I hadn't yet seen it.

00:47:54.000 And I wake up one morning, I think it was like Monday or Tuesday, whatever it is.

00:47:57.000 I wake up really, really, it's a call from my dad.

00:47:58.000 This was during the first term. 0.95

00:48:00.000 And he goes, What the hell are you doing in Montana shooting pregnant dogs?

00:48:05.000 And I'm like, What are you talking about? 0.99

00:48:09.000 The New York Times says you're shooting pregnant dogs.

00:48:12.000 I'm like, Pregnant dogs? 0.61

00:48:14.000 Why would I shoot pregnant dogs?

00:48:15.000 I'm like, It took me a while to figure out what the hell he was talking about because it was like, But I'm looking at this article, I'm like, Pregnant dogs?

00:48:21.000 You mean prairie dogs?

00:48:23.000 It's basically one's a ground rat, the other is a pregnant dog.

00:48:28.000 Very different, but the New York Times did not know the difference.

00:48:30.000 And so they decided to write an article about me shooting pregnant dogs, which was, let's just say, fact check false, but pretty funny nonetheless.

00:48:39.000 But what we did use a 338 Lapua improved, which is sort of like a custom chambering that's actually a little bit bigger and faster than a 338 Lapua, which is a very large round for an animal that's about this big.

00:48:52.000 And so, yeah, that was pretty fun.

00:48:55.000 And some of the impacts at like even 700, 800 yards on pregnant dogs, prairie dogs, was.

00:49:05.000 So that was a fun trip and ended up being kind of a fun story.

00:49:05.000 Pretty amazing.

00:49:10.000 But yeah, there doesn't seem to be much left of the smaller stuff if you use a 375.

00:49:15.000 No, there is not.

00:49:17.000 Although sometimes the big calibers, you know, they're so big, so fast.

00:49:20.000 When the small stuff, they don't even sort of expand, they just sort of push right through.

00:49:23.000 So it's not always that bad.

00:49:24.000 Sometimes it's the smaller, super high velocity light stuff, you know, that speed kills in a lot of cases, especially on the small stuff.

00:49:31.000 So, you know, not always the case.

00:49:33.000 But, you know, yeah, you know, it's just.

00:49:38.000 Shooting a.375, like on small sides, like you don't need it.

00:49:41.000 Like, I'm a big believer in use enough gun, but like within reason.

00:49:45.000 And as I get older and my shoulder is just not what it used to be from years of rowing and lifting and fly fishing and, you know, sort of worn out, like if I can avoid that extra recoil sometimes, I will use a.458.

00:49:59.000 That's worse than the.375.

00:50:00.000 So I have used them.

00:50:03.000 I've used them in Africa on some big, dangerous stuff, but, you know, probably not what I'm using for anything in North America if I can avoid it.

00:50:12.000 Nothing the 375 can't do just as well if you make a good shot.

00:50:16.000 I guess the most dangerous thing in probably North America. 0.82

00:50:19.000 Brown bear and stuff like that, I've killed them with a bow and arrow.

00:50:21.000 So if I can do it with a bow, I'm sure I can do it with a 375.

00:50:25.000 In fact, I've done both, so I know that it can be done in both regards.

00:50:33.000 Let's see.

00:50:35.000 We had a school bus kid's grandpa come out of here and harvest 15 squirrels in one hour.

00:50:41.000 It's supposed to be a clean cut in the hole.

00:50:43.000 It falls off with a good.

00:50:46.000 Tug, yeah.

00:50:47.000 I mean, the ground squirrels you're not typically eating, and it's you know, it's that's literally just trying to preserve the land and stop them from you know, damaging sort of the domestic livestock and all that kind of stuff.

00:50:58.000 Um, are aliens demonic?

00:51:01.000 I guess it depends on the alien.

00:51:02.000 I don't, I don't really know.

00:51:04.000 Um, I just think you know, I've spoken about this a little bit in a couple shows ago.

00:51:08.000 I was like, I guess I just don't have the hubris to assume that we could be the only thing in an infinitely vast universe, and so you know, maybe they're just like us, maybe you know.

00:51:18.000 Almost feels like there has to be something about there.

00:51:20.000 It seems like they're proving that these days.

00:51:24.000 But I'm sure there's probably a lot more than we could ever see because they either don't have, maybe they're not as advanced as us, or maybe they're equally advanced to us and they still can't get to here because we can't get to them.

00:51:35.000 So I don't know if they're demonic or not.

00:51:37.000 I guess we'll have to find out.

00:51:43.000 Let's see.

00:51:49.000 There are brown bears active at the dump by my family cottage.

00:51:53.000 They look well fed.

00:51:54.000 Yeah, the bears, they're sort of omnivores.

00:51:57.000 They'll eat pretty much anything.

00:51:58.000 And so the junk can be, the junkyards can be a place where they end up, you know, quite a bit.

00:52:02.000 When I lived in Colorado after college, the black bears there used to just, you know, they just hung out in town and try to get into the garbage cans in town andor at your house on a daily basis.

00:52:15.000 And so we'll see.

00:52:16.000 Franklin 779, wipe out the cartels, Mr. Trump.

00:52:20.000 Well, it's not my choice, but I think, you know, you saw the elections in Colombia the other day.

00:52:24.000 I think those guys, you know, got elected under the, you know, the premise of, you know, working on taking out the cartels.

00:52:29.000 So I'm sure my father will work with the, New president, El Tigre, down there to do some damage to that.

00:52:36.000 And I think that solves so many of our problems.

00:52:39.000 We all know someone who's been plagued by the fentanyl crisis and someone who's died from it.

00:52:43.000 And I mean, I think probably at this point, everyone in America probably has someone directly, not even degrees of separation.

00:52:51.000 Do you believe in Bigfoot?

00:52:53.000 You got to believe, right?

00:52:57.000 I don't know.

00:52:59.000 I have some friends that literally swear they saw Bigfoot, but I was like, I don't know, man.

00:53:02.000 I've seen things in the woods that look a little odd, and then you're like, Oh, no, it's just a bear or an elk or something like that.

00:53:07.000 It's just you get a little flash.

00:53:08.000 But, you know, at this point, guys, I'm not sure that anything would surprise me.

00:53:15.000 Let's see.

00:53:20.000 Any Greenland updates?

00:53:22.000 Yeah, honestly, guys, I'm not involved.

00:53:23.000 I did sort of the expeditionary landing in Greenland before they took over.

00:53:27.000 I know Jeff Landry, the governor of Louisiana, is actually the envoy to Greenland.

00:53:33.000 I could probably call and find out, but, you know, I sort of stay away from.

00:53:37.000 All of that stuff whenever possible.

00:53:40.000 So we'll see.

00:53:44.000 Someone's talking about not having been good with their gun when they got it.

00:53:49.000 But listen, just get out there and practice.

00:53:50.000 I think it's important from a safety standpoint, especially if you have guns around the house, even for self defense purposes and whatever it may be.

00:53:58.000 I think train with them, teach your kids how to use them.

00:54:01.000 I think when you do that and they respect the weapon and everything like that, you also end up with.

00:54:08.000 You know, a lot fewer accidents because, you know, people understand the damage, they understand handling, you know, basics, you know, treat every gun as though it's loaded and don't ever point it at anything you don't want to destroy, whether you think it's loaded or not.

00:54:20.000 You know, pretty simple stuff.

00:54:24.000 Dr. Megan Knotts own a PPC.

00:54:28.000 Actually, I do.

00:54:29.000 That's, you must be way down the rabbit hole in shooting if you know about PPCs.

00:54:34.000 So, yeah, I have six PPCs, 22 PPCs, some of the stuff that's based on that chambering and that caliber.

00:54:42.000 And so, you know, that's based off an old, like, I guess it's 220 Russian that, you know, it's a bench press caliber.

00:54:47.000 It's for, you know, supreme shooting tiny, tiny, tiny groups, you know, putting bullets through the same hole. 0.80

00:54:54.000 So I do have some old bench press guns.

00:54:57.000 I sort of, at one point in time, gone through every journey and shooting that there is for every kind of discipline and, you know, played well enough to get, you know, pretty good.

00:55:05.000 But, you know, the kind of loading and the this, you know, honestly became too much brain damage.

00:55:09.000 I just didn't have the time to do all of the things, you know, turning next to try to get brass 100% perfect.

00:55:15.000 It was very cool.

00:55:16.000 The guns are just, you know, it's amazing what they can do, but it didn't end up being one of those things that I love as much as, you know, trying to shoot, you know, accurately long range and weird positions and, you know, things that I could perhaps translate better off into, you know, my hunting discipline so you can make harder shots with more certainty, et cetera.

00:55:39.000 What do you think about Dell moving its legal headquarters to Texas?

00:55:43.000 I don't think anyone has a choice.

00:55:45.000 How do you stay in some of these?

00:55:46.000 You know, leftist states that they're going to tax you to death, they're going to control you to death, you can't possibly fire anyone because they, you know, it's insane.

00:55:53.000 I think between Texas and Florida, you know, and maybe Tennessee and some of these other places that aren't insane, you know, you're going to see a lot about that.

00:56:03.000 Oh, you meant PPC pistol caliber carbine?

00:56:06.000 I've, well, I've shot a lot of MP5s, you know, shot a lot of like the Rattler stuff.

00:56:11.000 And, you know, yeah, I mean, I sort of grew up around guys that did a lot of that.

00:56:15.000 So that was always fun to get out on the range and do that kind of stuff.

00:56:19.000 I thought you were talking about the bench press calibers, which is even further down the rabbit hole than, you know, the pistol carbine type stuff.

00:56:26.000 But yeah, no, I've done all of it.

00:56:29.000 But my passions are sort of long range rifles, precision.

00:56:35.000 My son's, especially my oldest son, he loves to do the handgun stuff.

00:56:39.000 So we do a lot of steel shooting, that kind of stuff.

00:56:44.000 So we'll see.

00:56:51.000 I don't know what that means.

00:56:52.000 Will President Trump please issue Brits' Asali visa?

00:56:56.000 Will President Trump police issue Brits asylum visas?

00:57:00.000 Country suffering.

00:57:01.000 He had a lot of problems. 1.00

00:57:02.000 Britain has to work on their shit and figure it out. 1.00

00:57:06.000 So we'll see. 1.00

00:57:07.000 Looking fit, Don.

00:57:08.000 I can see you're putting on muscle.

00:57:10.000 I'm trying.

00:57:10.000 I've been able to be a little bit more consistent.

00:57:12.000 That's the problem with my life, man.

00:57:13.000 I can go, you know, you get consistent for a week or two, and then it's like 14 days of international travel and, you know, or traveling around the country campaigning, and it's, you know, five events a day.

00:57:23.000 And it's just like, I know it's not an excuse, but like, You know, it's hard to do five events a day when you're, you know, ranting and raving for an hour on a mic.

00:57:31.000 And then it's like, now I got to go work out and lift or run or whatever it may be.

00:57:35.000 So, not so easy.

00:57:39.000 But I will, Casey Gates just gifted another five subscriptions.

00:57:43.000 Thank you very much, Casey.

00:57:46.000 You know, so I got to get better about it when I'm able to be home for a little bit.

00:57:49.000 So I'm hoping the summer lull, you know, I can work from home, I can hit the gym for, you know, an hour or two a day, do those kinds of things.

00:57:56.000 But I'm trying to get it back into that, trying to get active on that, you know, the whole health kick.

00:58:01.000 Trying to do some of the stem cell stuff and exosome treatments, whatever I can.

00:58:09.000 You can go down a rabbit hole on some of these things, but I've started trying to do some of those because I'll be 49 in December.

00:58:16.000 Always been in pretty good shape in my life.

00:58:20.000 The things I do for fun sort of require that.

00:58:23.000 And so if I want to enjoy them, you got to actually be in shape to do it.

00:58:26.000 And so I'm trying all that stuff right now.

00:58:30.000 So I've been on kind of a healthcare kick and trying to do the sauna a couple times a week and trying to do the red light therapy if I can do it.

00:58:38.000 45 minutes a day is all you need.

00:58:39.000 I agree with that, by the way.

00:58:40.000 Like, I think I've definitely actually noticed much more gains when I do a solid, you know, let's call it an hour, rather than when you're in the gym doing two hours and overdoing it.

00:58:48.000 You know, the rest days are really important.

00:58:50.000 And sometimes, because of my travel schedule, sometimes I can get in that rigmarole where, you know, I go to the gym and it's, I'm home for, it's not often that it happens, but, you know, I'm home for a week and you go every day and it's like, you don't get the rest days, you don't get the time to, you know, heal up.

00:59:04.000 And it definitely is not as effective as, you know, You know, a solid four days consistently with rest days and doing everything else right.

00:59:12.000 So, um, anyway, guys, hey, uh, I really appreciate you tuning in.
