Jake also gives a quick rundown of some of the biggest headlines of the week, including the latest on immigration and the latest in the case of the Maine AG's decision to take her father off the ballot, and why he should have never been on the ballot in the first place.

00:05:31.000hey guys happy new year and welcome to a special episode of trigger tip
00:05:50.000Tonight we're going to take you through the past year of the show from the very first episode and highlight some of the best interviews with the best guests on the topics that you guys care about.
00:06:01.000So I hope that everyone finished out the year strong.
00:06:06.000I know I had an absolute blast with the family and we're doing fireworks and it was...
00:07:46.000They let me do my thing, but we also got to make sure that we get that message out there.
00:07:50.000We're up against literally trillion dollar institutions whose Seeming purpose is obviously to do the work of today's radical leftists, the Marxists.
00:08:02.000It's no longer the Democrat Party, right?
00:08:04.000We understand that. They're working full-time to do that, so started doing this to try to break through that as best as we can.
00:08:13.000So really appreciate you guys, and you can help us by hitting the like button, by sharing, by subscribing, you know, send it to your friends.
00:08:21.000And remember, you can also find Triggered On Spotify and Apple Podcasts after they air here on Rumble.
00:08:28.000So, you know, like this time of year, if you're traveling for the holidays or whatever it may be, or you drive on the weekends and you want to listen that way, it's another awesome way to stay in touch with what's going on.
00:08:39.000So today, we're obviously, and together, we're taking on that legacy media
00:08:46.000and giving millions and millions of Americans a voice and a home right here on Rumble,
00:08:53.000where you can get all the news without the spin, without the nonsense,
00:08:56.000and bring you the uncensored conversations and unfiltered talk that I think everyone actually wants,
00:09:04.000that I think would be so important for growth.
00:09:06.000I know for me in life, just regurgitating what someone else tells you
00:09:10.000without having to think about it, without having to argue it right, wrong, or indifferent,
00:09:14.000literally did nothing for my progress, my education, getting better at whatever it is that I was doing.
00:09:21.000So, you know, having those conversations, having those uncomfortable conversations,
00:09:25.000just fundamental in all of our growth.
00:09:27.000But before we get into all of that, I wanna give you guys a quick rundown
00:10:29.000You have a single individual, not even a lawyer, not even citing actual cases in Maine or elsewhere, but someone who, and I quote, watched some YouTube videos.
00:10:42.000Think about that. They watched some YouTube videos about Donald Trump possibly being an insurrectionist.
00:10:50.000By that logic, I think we should start watching Alex Jones and running with what he goes with because...
00:10:58.000Candidly, he's been much more correct than all of the media for the last decade or so.
00:11:04.000Why don't Republican Secretary of State start doing that and throw Joe Biden off?
00:11:08.000I mean, clearly, there's far more links to Joe Biden and bribery schemes than there are to Donald Trump and any insurrection.
00:11:15.000Because despite their narrative, we've seen that crumble over the last year.
00:11:20.0002023 saw that narrative go down the tubes real quickly.
00:11:26.000But... They'll still run with it, right?
00:11:29.000The first unarmed insurrection in the history of the world.
00:11:32.000But beyond that, folks, we got to understand what that other side is doing and we got to combat it, which is another reason why we have to take it so seriously, why we do have to share these messages, why we do have to support the companies that actually support this kind of programming and not just, you know, blindly follow the herd or big woke corporate, etc., Now, unfortunately, we're starting 2024 under invasion.
00:11:55.000Biden ended 2023 by setting another record.
00:12:00.000More than 302,000 illegal immigrants crossed into the United States across our southern border in December.
00:12:23.000Right? It's not the great replacement theory.
00:12:26.000That's the great replacement reality of what the Democrats are trying to do.
00:12:30.000Okay? There are a lot of numbers that get thrown around when it comes to illegal immigration.
00:12:35.000Here's a comparison that makes it very easy for everyone to understand the scale of this invasion.
00:12:42.000There are now more illegal immigrants crossing into the United States than there are babies born here on an annual basis.
00:12:51.000Think about that. More illegals coming in here than there are babies born here There are about 3.2 million babies born every year, and the Biden administration says 3.8 million illegal immigrants crossed in the past fiscal year.
00:13:06.000Think about that. And that's what they know about.
00:13:09.000Imagine how many more millions they have no idea about.
00:13:13.000I mean, so that number probably pales in comparison to the real number.
00:13:18.000The illegal immigrants are not gonna stop coming as long as Democrats are in power.
00:13:37.000This is estimated to cost citizens there about $3.1 billion annually.
00:13:46.000People in California pay taxes to take care of people who are illegally in their state.
00:13:53.000Not only do you have to pay for yourself and your children and your families and their education and their health insurance and everything else, you have the privilege and the honor Of paying for millions who will flock there for said free privileges.
00:14:13.000That's where we are in the United States.
00:14:15.000Your American dream is dying because of these insane policies.
00:14:20.000You are a second-class citizen in your own country.
00:14:24.000You have to go work extra hard to make sure that others can benefit from your work for free while being there illegally.
00:14:36.000And where's Biden during this invasion?
00:15:17.000The Democrats took the unprecedented step of not only indicting their chief political opponent, but removing him from several ballots.
00:15:26.000We discussed this earlier with the Maine Secretary of State.
00:15:29.000You saw what was going on in Colorado.
00:15:30.000And while there's conservatives out there screeching that it's a victory that they put him back on the ballot while it's at the Supreme Court, the same leftist Secretary of State like you saw in Maine in Colorado will do that if the Supreme Court doesn't act appropriately.
00:15:45.000I'm sure the left will be there intimidating them like they have.
00:15:49.000And again, if we did that to them, it would be a major problem and people would go to jail.
00:15:53.000But we don't live in a system of equal justice.
00:15:57.000If that's the election interference we saw in an off year, removing the primary opponent, a former president of the United States, from the ballot and states, not based on a conviction, just based on, well, maybe there's something there somewhere down the line.
00:16:19.000Imagine what sort of election interference we're going to see in 2024.
00:16:23.000And 2023 was a year in which the world was set on fire with Hamas, their violent invasion of Israel, the rape and murder of women and children in the streets.
00:16:39.000The heads of major universities, some of our, at least what I thought were formerly our finest institutions, taking the side of Hamas, not just the right of Palestinian people to exist, let's be clear, actually condoning the violent behavior.
00:16:55.000We saw protests all over the United States, hundreds of thousands for the same thing.
00:17:04.000You think we're the same country we were just a couple years ago?
00:17:07.000I don't. And I'm sure those three point whatever million people coming across the border every year, I'm sure they're going to bring a lot of great morals and values.
00:17:18.000I'm sure they'll assimilate nicely like none of the other people who've come that way have.
00:17:24.000Virtually none. I'm sure there's two or three that they'll fact check me with, but that's what's nice about Rumble.
00:17:30.000I don't think things are going to calm down in 2024.
00:17:33.000In this year's address to China, President Xi Jinping promised a complete reunification of China and Taiwan.
00:17:43.000I don't know about you guys, but I don't trust Joe Biden to handle that all that well.
00:17:51.000And look who he has running our military.
00:17:55.000The Pentagon now resembles an NBC green room.
00:18:01.000Watch this transgender lieutenant colonel talk about how inclusivity is a national security issue, folks.
00:18:09.000It is. They're going to be awesome on the battlefield.
00:18:12.000I'm sure this has nothing to do with the recruitment crisis we face because actual patriotic Americans who do a good job and would be the people we'd want fighting for us probably don't want to fight for this.
00:18:26.000Check it out. So, inclusion is a national security imperative.
00:18:33.000We fight today and we are going to fight in the future using brain power.
00:18:39.000And if that brain, who's going to revolutionize the way we fight in space, we fight in cyber, just happens to be in a trans body, you should want them all serving alongside me.
00:18:50.000And for your organizations, it's the same way.
00:18:54.000Those perspectives that we get from a diverse set of individuals, it's been talked about on stage a lot regarding the science behind high-performing teams.
00:19:02.000We need those perspectives. But it's inclusion that actually drives that.
00:19:07.000Because you can bring people in and if they don't feel safe to speak up, if they don't feel safe to bring their full selves to work, You're not going to get the value of the diversity.
00:19:18.000So for us, it is absolutely critical to drive our future success as an organization and potentially on the battlefield.
00:19:25.000And I think it's the same way for all of you because we can't leave that talent that is going to revolutionize the way we do business behind.
00:19:33.000Yeah, folks, I'm sure that'll be great.
00:19:41.000Our friendly dictators all over the world, the Ayatollahs and North Korea, I'm sure they watch that and they're laughing their asses off, like I was.
00:19:52.000So here's my New Year's resolution, folks.
00:19:54.0002024 is the year we retake the White House.
00:20:02.000We put an end to the deep state and the nonsense and the lies and the manipulation and the never-ending wars.
00:20:11.000How long can a country survive when more illegal immigrants flood our nation than we have babies born in it?
00:20:23.000Can a country win wars where it doesn't know that there are two genders or that Making sure we're really inclusive of people who were literally labeled by doctors just a few short years ago as having mental issues are gonna be leaders on the field of battle.
00:20:44.000I'm sure this is gonna work out wonderfully.
00:20:46.000The cause of many of this nation's problems are simple.
00:20:53.000It's the radical puppet masters that are in charge.
00:20:56.000It's the Marxists. Because again, this is not your parents' Democrat party.
00:21:01.000It's not your grandparents' Democrat party, for sure.
00:21:05.000The stalwarts of that party would be rolling over in their graves watching what's going on right now, but hopefully people wake up to the insanity.
00:21:58.000Evict radical Democrat policy from our nation.
00:22:03.000Right? And then we can have a Happy New Year.
00:22:07.000So before we get to all the great interviews, I just have to take a second to thank our incredible sponsors for having the guts to keep supporting the show week after week.
00:22:17.000Guys, make sure to check out the awesome folks over at Gold Co.
00:22:26.000Of course, we're still seeing reckless spending, global turmoil, probably more and more wars.
00:22:32.000Biden caused disasters each and every day.
00:22:35.000It's only leading to more economic anxiety.
00:22:37.000I just want you to be prepared and owning tangible, physical inflation hedging gold and silver can help secure and stabilize your portfolio.
00:26:02.000But... This is the year we can take back our country, and I want you guys to be a part of that.
00:26:08.000So thanks for everything. Thanks for following along.
00:26:11.000Thanks for liking, for sharing, subscribing, for downloading the Rumble app, for listening on Apple Podcasts or Spotify, wherever you get your stuff.
00:26:32.000Actually, strangely enough, probably the first time I've been actually nervous in a long time.
00:26:37.000It's just so different. I'm used to getting up on a stage with a mic and talking to 10-15,000 people.
00:26:43.000It's not a problem. We're at a unique place in our country, something that's probably never happened before or perhaps it's always been happening and we haven't been exposed to it as much.
00:26:54.000So I'm super psyched to be doing this on a platform.
00:26:58.000We're here again because we're at a crossroads.
00:27:01.000I'm on Rumble because it's one of the few platforms that's out there that Right.
00:27:25.000It has... The person who coined it was kind of a controversial guy called Sam Francis, but it's a very powerful insight, and it describes really the reality that we have anarchy and lawlessness with respect to the sort of clients of the regime, the political allies of the regime, and you have really Tyranny with respect to ordinary middle-class conservative citizens.
00:27:54.000The best example of it comes from your monologue.
00:27:57.000Anarcho-tyranny is we don't prosecute looters, but we prosecute anyone who says anything offensive within a hundred miles of a drag queen story hour.
00:29:45.000That's an open question. But the thing about him is he was one of these guys just like the mayor of Chicago you're talking about.
00:29:52.000His whole thing from the very beginning was, I'm not going to prosecute basically any offenses that are relevant to basic quality of life in the...
00:30:02.000You know, for the people that I'm supposed to represent.
00:30:04.000Murder and rape, I mean, like, it's fine.
00:30:06.000But when it comes to a trivial document filing claim against fraud, which he couldn't even do because the statute of limitations ran out, so that's where the novelty comes in, but...
00:30:17.000You know, when dumb people try to do creative things, the end result is even more ridiculous than you can imagine.
00:30:23.000And that's why you had these people like John Bolton and others come out and say, my God, maybe we shouldn't outsource our domestic war on terror to this low kind of low IQ operatives.
00:31:12.000Now, there's plenty of people, literally exact same crime, on the other way against Donald Trump.
00:31:18.000Exactly. Same thing. And it's like they don't even get prosecuted, let alone face 10 years in prison.
00:31:24.000Right. I mean, Joe Biden's perhaps an example of what you're talking about in the sense that Joe Biden's so stupid He'll actually sign anything that the powers that be put in front of him.
00:31:34.000So I actually think, like Alvin Bragg, I think is being a useful idiot to George Soros, and those likes, I think Joe Biden is actually that to Obama, Susan Rice, whoever's still in charge, because they were smart enough to preserve their legacies.
00:31:51.000They may not agree with everything in America, but they weren't going to go against the American public and hurt their legacies and their abilities to buy...
00:31:59.000You know, $15 million homes and Martha's Vineyard and all of this stuff.
00:32:02.000They weren't going to quite do that, but they're more than happy to destroy Joe Biden's legacy by having him sign whatever it is that they want, and, you know, they get where we want.
00:32:11.000So he's like the useful idiot, but frankly he was much more effective than the Obamas of the world because they don't care about protecting his name, image, and likeness for the future.
00:32:22.000Right. Well, he's clearly an instrument, and there are underlying forces that are much more powerful than him.
00:32:29.000I mean, the regime is really exhibiting itself in unprecedented ways.
00:32:35.000And this has a lot of downstream effects.
00:32:41.000It's always been kind of unique to America's self-understanding that we are kind of We're a moral nation, a moral exemplar to other countries.
00:32:51.000And whether or not that's true in the past, it's always been an integral part of the way we've sold ourselves and marketed ourselves.
00:33:01.000Affected foreign policy and diplomacy overseas.
00:33:05.000Recently, an interesting tweet from this guy who's doing a lot of interesting work in El Salvador, Bukele, who's basically brought MS-13 to heel.
00:33:15.000He correctly and I think very insightfully pointed out, How can America continue to say, you know, just recently, one of Biden's lackeys castigated Tunisia for daring to jail political opposition.
00:33:33.000Wait a minute, guys! You know, we're, well, we're seeding the high ground, right?
00:33:38.000There was a time where America had the moral high ground, and you could say that would never happen, America.
00:33:42.000And yet, the Banana Republic shit That we call out and have been able to call out.
00:33:49.000Like, you know, if I'm Putin, you sit there and be like, I don't know, guys.
00:33:51.000Like, you know, I'm watching all the people who really hate Putin and really hate, you know, they're calling for regime.
00:33:57.000I mean, wait a minute, but you're okay with them jailing Trump, though.
00:34:00.000That's different. Trump's the exception that proves the Putin rule, right?
00:34:03.000He's the political opposition, but it's okay because it's Trump.
00:34:07.000Exactly. It's a very dangerous and bizarre trend.
00:34:12.000And especially as conflict is gearing up with China, we don't really have that moral high ground that was available to us, say, in the Cold War with the Soviet Union, where Reagan could say, we're the free society, Soviet Union is basically the gulag.
00:34:29.000In this case, It seems like there are two different authoritarian systems emerging.
00:34:36.000There's the Chinese authoritarian system, and there's the system associated with what I call, not America, but the globalist American empire, which is just as authoritarian, is becoming so.
00:34:52.000Plus all of these ridiculous things as we have the same basic underlying injury, but at least in China there's no insult.
00:35:01.000And the insult added to the injury is the thing that makes our country ridiculous and I think is increasingly a laughing stock on the world stage.
00:35:10.000And the other kind of serious point on this There's a real interesting tension emerging because it just is the same time as the national security state has basically declared war on conservative Americans.
00:35:23.000It's conservatives that they'll rely upon to have this kind of battered wife syndrome To say, well, we're going to beat you down domestically, but the second we need you for another war, you're going to be the first to sign up.
00:35:38.000Show me the money! Exactly. Well, but you see that.
00:35:39.000And I've had, you know, all my friends, like, real operators and, you know, SEAL team guys, and they're saying, like, they're out there having these conversations, and they're telling me, like, I would never let my kids do this.
00:35:50.000Like, these are guys that... You know, they literally bled for our country, but they would want their children to do the same, and like there's tradition of, you know, generations of people who fought wars for this country, and they're like, I wouldn't even think about it, because, you know, if you're trans, you'll become an admiral in about three seconds, and you can do that, and then while you're going, I had Ronnie Jackson on here talking about that, as someone who was an admiral, and, you know, in a medical profession, he was like, oh yeah, by the way, like, if you're going through the paid-for-by-the-US government gender-affirming surgery, like, Because of all the medications, you're not actually even allowed to be on active duty abroad,
00:36:29.000I served our country while sitting in a nice air-conditioned office with no intention to do that while the American taxpayer gets to pay for my gender reassignment surgery.
00:36:38.000Who's going to go sign up for these things anymore?
00:36:41.000It's amazing. It's like we were saying, becoming transgender is the ultimate life hack in America, and it's literally a hack, no pun intended.
00:36:50.000As far as I'm concerned, and I say this being the son of a billionaire, I think it's the highest level of privilege if utilized Properly in America Day.
00:37:09.000There's no position that you're not checking off a box that they would love to fill.
00:37:14.000And by the way, the more you're pretending it, the probably the better it is because you don't have the lunacy that goes along with so much of it, right?
00:37:20.000So like, I feel it's the highest form of privilege in society today.
00:38:08.000It's a total scam because it's really the ploy to eliminate both Trumpism and Trump.
00:38:16.000You know, there are a lot of kind of pseudo-sophisticates out there who think you can just...
00:38:21.000Get the policy script and give it to anyone, that it's interchangeable.
00:38:26.000That's not how political movements work.
00:38:29.000There's a reason that the system is targeted against specific individual.
00:38:34.000That individual happens to be the person who created and continues to lead one of the most powerful political movements in the nation's history.
00:38:42.000All right, guys. Well, first off, I want to take the time to thank Tucker Carlson for joining us.
00:38:47.000I know a lot of things are going on on your end, Tucker, right now, including launching literally a new media company taking on a lot of the establishment that's out there with the Tucker Carlson Network.
00:38:57.000Now, you've done some big interviews lately.
00:39:03.000But when are we going to see the interviews that we're all waiting for, like Brian Stelter, Zelensky, or even perhaps creepy porn lawyer Michael Avenatti?
00:39:13.000I mean, that one may be the number one interview I want to see of all time based on episode one that we saw.
00:39:21.000But, you know, it's hard to say of all of them who's the biggest grifter, but maybe it's Zelensky.
00:39:25.000What do you think? I would love to interview him, and I can't do it in Ukraine.
00:39:41.000But I would love to interview Zelensky.
00:39:43.000He's turned us down. Avenatti's in prison for many years.
00:39:48.000We did just visit Julian Assange in prison, so I've interviewed people in prison before, but I don't know if he would sign off on us visiting.
00:39:56.000We've got a bunch of interviews coming, but you're totally right.
00:41:17.000I don't know whether he actually committed it or not.
00:41:19.000He's been credibly accused of killing a girl, however.
00:41:22.000I don't know if it's that or some things in his personal life, but whatever it is, that is a hater.
00:41:29.000He's really transformed from a kind of thoughtful, clever, funny guy who had views To a guy who's just bent on destroying other people.
00:41:38.000And I think, again, I think that grows out of the misery inside and the guilt that he feels over the things that he's done in his life, etc.
00:41:45.000And a much healthier way to deal with that, I mean, all of us have done things we feel guilty about, I certainly have, is to admit them and kind of let them fall away, let the guilt fall away and just move forward as a whole person.
00:41:57.000But someone like Scarborough just can't do it.
00:41:59.000And it's bad for the country when people like that have national platforms, I think.
00:42:04.000Do you think he's sort of doing the, like, become a Democrat spokesperson because there's actually a lot less accountability if you're doing the bidding of the left?
00:42:13.000I mean, it feels like if you're a conservative, you know, Tucker Carlson, if you were an academic, would not be getting the same treatment at Harvard as Claudine Gay is at Harvard for the same thing, for the same gross incompetence, for plagiarism, etc.
00:42:25.000I mean, is there a life jacket to doing the bidding of the radical left today?
00:42:31.000There's no doubt about it, but I think it's bigger than partisan.
00:42:35.000I mean, it's not just that Scarborough is a defender of the Democratic Party, which obviously he is, that whole channel is, but it's more than that.
00:42:42.000He's an advocate for destroying things, for destroying families, individuals.
00:42:46.000I mean, if you're arguing for castrating kids or for appointing like a flagrant moron like Claudine Gay to the presidency of Harvard, you know, the most famous prestigious university in the world, What are you doing?
00:45:47.000Yeah, seriously. I'll give it to you. So you were born into a family that was famous for business, okay, and had a company with your name on it.
00:47:03.000And it was sort of like as brutal as it's been, as costly as it's been.
00:47:06.000You know, it was definitely easier being the son of a beloved billionaire in New York City, right?
00:47:10.000You go to all the cool people parties.
00:47:12.000That was easy. This is harder, but it's much more meaningful.
00:47:18.000But you genuinely like it, so that's the key.
00:47:22.000If you take a man and you force him down a path he's not suited for, and that he doesn't really love, you'll destroy that man.
00:47:29.000You know, you've got to do things, and we're talking off air, in your personal life, like you're deeply committed to your non-professional interests, like you really love them.
00:47:37.000And that's another sign of balance and health, is someone who's not only about his job, who cares about other things, like his family, or In your case, hunting and fishing.
00:47:46.000And I share those loves, so I know it.
00:48:43.000I've been thinking a lot about this. So I grew up like you in an affluent zip code and lived in one my whole life until a few years ago, lived in D.C. for 35 years.
00:48:52.000And there's this massive premium on IQ. You're smart.
00:48:55.000That's like the highest compliment you can pay a person.
00:48:58.000He's smart. And I really have come to see the limitations in that.
00:49:02.000I think IQ matters and it's real and it's mostly hereditary.
00:49:05.000That's all true. However, that's not really the measure of a man both morally or in the marketplace even.
00:49:13.000The most successful businessmen I know are not the ones who had the highest scores in the SAT. They're the wisest.
00:50:28.000And so those are the guys I respect a lot.
00:50:31.000Who are the dumbest? Oh, I mean, the guys who run AB, I would say, have to be, I mean, basically, the people who run General Motors, are you joking?
00:50:40.000It's like, oh, we're not going to sell you trucks anymore that run on gasoline or diesel?
00:50:46.000Are you kidding? That's your whole business.
00:50:48.000Like, anyone who gets talked into something insane, and I will say, my father used to say this when we were kids, he would say all the really bad ideas come from the geniuses.
00:51:21.000It was conceived by schoolteachers and intellectuals.
00:51:24.000The smartest people in Cambodia came up with the killing fields.
00:51:27.000Of course, the peasants never would have come up with something like that.
00:51:30.000They'd be like, well, some people need eyeglasses.
00:51:32.000They never could have convinced themselves of something that dumb.
00:51:36.000Well, no, I mean, that's manifesting itself so much right now where you see sort of the illusion of academia.
00:51:43.000At Harvard, you realize, well, no, everything's a DEI program.
00:51:46.000You can't get in there. The feeling I had for my Penn and Wharton diploma, it doesn't mean anything anymore.
00:51:53.000It's something 10 years ago I would have been proud of.
00:51:55.000Today, you realize, we even had a saying back then, B is for billionaire, because you're right.
00:51:59.000The guys that figured out a system did a lot better than the guys that were so brilliant.
00:52:03.000They got A's in everything, but they never really...
00:52:05.000You know, they were always trapped within that.
00:52:08.000And you talk about this sort of general thing where, you know, the fake white-collar economy, right?
00:52:15.000COVID lockdowns sort of exposed it more than ever.
00:52:18.000And, you know, when your whole job is reduced down to, you know, sitting in your bed in your boxer shorts, you know, unlike a couple people maybe pleasuring themselves on conference calls, former colleagues of yours and, you know, competitors in the media space, you know, What's going on with that?
00:52:33.000It's sort of a reality check when we realize what's happening in our lives in corporate America.
00:52:40.000We have fake email jobs that don't really matter.
00:52:43.000You've talked about this a lot, but I think it has a drastic effect on losing the sense of meaning and purpose that is such a big part of people's day-to-day life.
00:52:54.000How do you see what's going on there right now?
00:52:57.000Well, I think it's all fruit from the same tree.
00:53:00.000It's all the product of generational affluence.
00:53:03.000And you see this in families, most obviously.
00:53:07.000There's the innovator, the hard worker, the bootstrap guy who creates the business, makes the family fortune, and then the family becomes successively less.
00:53:17.000And I have to say, since you invited it, you asked me to analyze you and your family.
00:53:21.000Looking back, the best thing that ever happened to your family probably was the suffering that you've gone through, the loss of money that you guys have gone through in the last five years.
00:53:30.000That gives you purpose and gives you meaning and sharpens you and makes you live a purposeful life because you have no choice.
00:53:38.000If that doesn't happen, if you just live off trust disbursements every month, and I've seen this, frankly, in my own family, but I've seen it in many other families, You become contemptible and you become weak and silly and ridiculous and you don't even know it.
00:53:54.000And in the end, you become self-destructive.
00:53:56.000And that is the story of rich families.
00:53:57.000The fourth generation is always killing themselves.
00:53:59.000You know what I mean? With alcoholism or whatever, literally shooting themselves.
00:54:05.000And so if you have, you know, 80 years of uninterrupted economic growth and prosperity, which is the story of America after 1945, Then, of course, you're going to get to a place where the entire ruling class is so decadent and silly and can't see themselves clearly enough to know that, that it's going to come tumbling down.
00:54:24.000I mean, it's that strong men make good times aphorism is actually real.
00:54:29.000And I'm just sorry that my children have to live in the middle of it.
00:54:32.000I kind of like the world I grew up in.
00:54:35.000I mean, you and I are that way as well, right?
00:54:37.000You grew up in a—you had—your father was like an ambassador and high up in the government and did these things.
00:54:43.000You grew up in a D.C. sort of environment around that, just like I grew up—you know, I'm supposed to go to Penn and, you know, graduate from Wharton and be a liberal in New York City, go to the rich people parties, and yet— I mean, I guess we sort of both broke out of that.
00:54:57.000We had personas that were very different in our real lives.
00:55:01.000You know, what made you sort of go counterculture to sort of, you know, your predetermined destiny that, you know, that should have happened and sort of engulfs 95% of probably the kids that we grew up with?
00:55:21.000I don't have to say everything I think is true.
00:55:23.000I don't have the need to, like, spill all my thoughts, some of which are stupid and crazy, probably.
00:55:27.000But I didn't want to have to repeat someone else's bumper sticker.
00:55:30.000And, like, over time, I just wouldn't.
00:55:31.000I'm not doing that. Okay, so that was the first thing.
00:55:34.000And the second thing, which is even more transformative, is I realized that the world that these people were aspiring to or occupying wasn't that great, actually.
00:56:03.000I would be a lot happier in a cabin, which I have with no electricity or running water, than I would be at the Four Seasons fill-in-the-blank exotic destination.
00:56:12.000I just really felt that way. I just, I appreciated the beauty of the natural world far more than I appreciated the trappings of wealth.
00:56:21.000And so you realize like the thing that everybody wants in the end, you know, it's better than grinding poverty.
00:56:26.000It's better than being in debt, I think, of course, but it's not that great and it's not salvation.
00:56:33.000And for me, what really was salvation, this sounds cheesy, but I really mean it, was to be like fishing with my kids on a stream with no one else around.
00:56:40.000Like that was the highest level for me.
00:56:42.000And remains, or bird hunting with my dogs, who I really, really love, and I see my dogs working in this weird ballet in the quail field, and I'm like, I don't think I've ever been happier.
00:56:51.000So once you decide that that's what you want, then none of this other shit means anything at all.
00:56:56.000It's like, what are you going to give me to obey?
00:56:58.000I don't want what you have, actually, and I mean it.
00:57:00.000What are the games that they're going to try to do?
00:57:03.000They see this coming. They see the polling.
00:57:06.000They see the populist uprising, not just here, not just with, you know, youth that would, you know, historically have been far more favorable to the Democrats.
00:58:35.000You could see it anywhere you go and talk on the streets with the signs, with everything.
00:58:39.000He is leading now the most fundamental, important political, cultural movement in the nation for people of every economic class, every ethnicity, race, religion to say yes.
00:58:52.000We want to return America to her former greatness, and we know we have a struggle to do it.
00:58:57.000But this is the guy that's the armor-piercing shell.
00:58:59.000And let's break it down to three things, how they're going to stop that.
00:59:01.000Because I think they've got three verticals.
00:59:03.000They're all going to converge on a point to stop Trump.
00:59:27.000People don't give him credit that you talk about the balance sheet of the Federal Reserve being nine trillion dollars today.
00:59:32.000When President Trump took over, it was three and a half.
00:59:34.000It was only 880 billion when Obama took over.
00:59:36.000He added all those trillions, as you remember, to put liquidity in the system.
00:59:40.000President Trump, by 18 and 19, had 3.5% growth, the lowest unemployment, low interest rates, no inflation, and he took a trillion dollars, yelling as the Federal Reserve took a trillion dollars of liquidity off the balance sheet.
00:59:53.000He had a headwind that he was doing it because he wanted to deflate the asset bubble.
01:00:12.000If they could do it, they would do it.
01:00:14.000I mean, it's laughable because you're like, people can't even figure out the crimes.
01:00:18.000Like New York, they want to fine them a billion dollars, but there's no actual victim, right?
01:00:22.000The banks are saying, like, what are you talking about?
01:00:24.000Of course we do our own due diligence.
01:00:25.000Of course we got paid back. There wasn't a payment missed.
01:00:28.000We made hundreds of millions in interest.
01:00:30.000But it doesn't matter because you have a radical, Democrat, partisan attorney general that will say it...
01:00:35.000Doesn't matter. John Jr., of all of them, I think New York's the most egregious.
01:00:39.000Because New York, I'm sitting there going, I did this for 30 years of my life at Goldman Sachs, my own firm.
01:00:45.000I go, it looks like pretty normal course of business, what the Trump Organization did.
01:00:49.000At Goldman Sachs, did you ever not do diligence?
01:00:51.000And by the way... Even in post like Sarbanes-Oxley 2002, post 2008 crisis, if a major bank like Deutsche Bank, you know, trillion dollar bank, if they didn't do diligence, the opening that they would have for class action lawsuits from any investor or any...
01:01:15.000And it's probably the point you're making, which is it doesn't matter.
01:01:18.000And the fact that the judge is so blatant about they just want to get to his assets and stripping.
01:01:21.000But let's go back to the criminal charges.
01:01:23.000We had people on today, because I'm trying to go through battleground state by battleground state, about how we're not secure for this election right now to actually close the deal and make sure we get the deal.
01:01:33.000You're going to win like you did in 2020 with 74 million votes that we have to close.
01:01:38.000And quite frankly, it's a little chaotic.
01:01:40.000In Fulton County, it's absurd of what's going on there.
01:02:36.000We need serious action on the impeachment of Biden, not for political retribution, We need to do this because we can't let foreign powers like the CCP and whoever these crooks are in Ukraine be funneling money back into politicians that are doing their bidding.
01:02:53.000Number two, I think Speaker Johnson has to reconstitute the J6 committee.
01:02:57.000The footage alone and what President Trump, if you look at Kash Patel's testimony, President Trump went out of his way to ensure there would be a safe capital.
01:03:06.000Bowser and Pelosi and others went out of the way to make sure there wasn't a safe capital.
01:03:11.000That has to be adjudicated in a formal process.
01:03:13.000We need J6, and this time, we have to let the Democrats have a ranking member, and we have to have minority counsel.
01:03:21.000They have to see the evidence and cross-examine the witnesses.
01:03:23.000You can't have Cassie Hutchinson up there We're talking crazy talk and not be cross-examined.
01:03:29.000Any witness that would come forward has to be crossed by the Democrats.
01:03:32.000And what you're going to see is the American people all of a sudden are going to see about a Fed's erection, are going to see how this was all fixed on January 6th.
01:03:39.000That is going to be the next part of the Great Awakening, and that's where the push.
01:03:42.000The other thing is, they had an article in The Washington Post about the RNC, and the RNC saying, oh yeah, we're broke, but we're in 70 lawsuits.
01:03:50.000Mark Elias, the demon, And look, he's brilliant, he's cunning, he's smart like a serpent, but he's a demon.
01:03:56.000He says, by the way, we're involved in 650 lawsuits, and the Republican Party's only named in 28.
01:04:02.000These guys don't know what they're doing.
01:04:04.000The Mark Elias is the world, and he gave the roadmap For how 2020 was going to be stolen.
01:04:09.000He put out the Transition Integrity Project, which Bill McGinley, Rahim Kassan broke down.
01:04:14.000We went around the country, most of it in Zoom because of the pandemic.
01:04:18.000But he walked through the mail-in ballots.
01:04:20.000They walked through actually how they were going to steal the election in broad daylight.
01:04:26.000They have taken a blood oath among themselves.
01:04:29.000That no matter how Trump does it and how Trump gets to the victory, he will never set foot back in the White House again.
01:04:36.000Because they understand day one is the deconstruction of the administrative state.
01:04:41.000It's the ripping apart of the rogue element of the deep state.
01:04:43.000It's setting Wall Street and Silicon Valley back in the proper places.
01:04:47.000It's the reinstitution of a program to return America to reform a greatness and make the citizen America first and American citizens first.
01:04:57.000And they will fight that to their death, okay, to stop President Trump coming back.
01:05:02.000That's why when people talk about support in an election, this is more than an election.
01:05:06.000This is actually the taking back of the country from the powers that have driven it to the ground.
01:05:11.000And that's why 2024, 25, 26 are going to be like no three or four years in American history.
01:05:19.000Yeah, like, talk a little bit about it, because you're right with Elias and the lawfare and the things that they're doing, but, you know, talk about, you know, you had to deal with this from, you know, the administration standpoint and dealing with the RNC, and you understand those are different things, but, you know, what do you make out about that report saying they're low in cash, they can't raise money? Because, I mean, it feels like, I see it for the campaign, there's a lot of enthusiasm for Trump.
01:05:41.000You know, talk about that delta so people understand the differences, and what are the changes you'd make?
01:05:45.000First off, Don, you're going to think about it.
01:05:47.000In the next 10 days, we have Fox News and Hannity putting on a national debate with Ron DeSantis and Newsom, like national figures and some presidential kind of mock presidential debate to put them out in front of the country as actually guys that can lead this country, which is outrageous. A week after that, They're in Alabama again, the RNC being dead broke.
01:06:09.000And this is not me saying this or Don Jr.
01:06:11.000This is the Washington Post going through their numbers and showing they got $9 million cash on hand and no small donors because nobody watches your show or watches our show going to hit you with a 50.
01:06:20.000They'll hit Trump with a 50 dollar bill, but they're not hitting the RNC. They're putting on another bogus debate.
01:06:26.000Which nobody watches for the simple reason if they feel that if some existential event like J6 or something like that hits Trump or the bankruptcy trial, they've got somebody ready to go.
01:06:40.000They can push either harder. But more importantly, they want to consolidate that 15% of Republican voters are just...
01:06:46.000Traditional Romney types that are anti-Trump.
01:06:49.000They want to consolidate that around a Nikki Haley type and drive it all the way through the primary process, and then in July of 2024, force Nikki Haley onto the ticket as Trump's running mate and let her try to run the administration from number two.
01:07:03.000Now, that's not going to happen, but that's their plan.
01:07:23.000It's time now for a business guy that can step up there that people respond to, particularly if they don't get the small donor They don't get the small donor program up and running again.
01:07:35.000It has $9 million of cash right now, and it's bleeding out cash on things like this bogus debate in Alabama, and they're going to do another one, and they're going to do another one, and they're going to do another one, all to stop Trump.
01:07:47.000Yeah, no, I mean, I'm watching the debates, and it was interesting.
01:07:49.000I was talking to a good friend of yours, Andy Sarabian, earlier today, and I'm like, you know, I feel like, you know, we're like 50 days out from Iowa caucuses, and it's like, honestly, it sounds like people are bored.
01:08:02.000Like, it's sort of a foregone conclusion, and it's one thing to have the debates if there was something, right?
01:08:09.000When Ron DeSantis influencers, you know, made it, you know, clipped him to turn him into a legend and whatever.
01:08:14.000And then I was like, just wait till you see him in long form.
01:08:16.000I can assure you it won't be nearly as good as when they do like a five second clip.
01:08:20.000Turns out I was right. The second he actually had to take the mic, you know, it was a nosedive.
01:08:26.000But you're right. They're forcing these debates for, I mean, at this point it's, It's like, for a distant second place, or maybe, you know, for the future dog catcher position, it is lunacy.
01:08:38.000They're doing it. I mean, they're all-time low viewership, but worse, they're going to, like, MSDNC and NBC News.
01:08:45.000They're going to liberal places with liberal moderators Trying to get them to have a floor plate to dump on conservative values for these guys.
01:08:56.000And everyone's going for it hook, line, and sinker.
01:09:43.000And you saw the other day in the football stadium, right?
01:09:47.000I mean, come on. I mean, President Trump, Bigfooter, it's just not going to happen.
01:09:51.000All of these debates right now, everything they're doing in this fake primary is to try to either slow Trump down, I think actually help Biden or Newsom.
01:10:00.000I mean, it can't be random that Hannity and Fox are having Newsom on in a national debate to try to promote him as a national candidate.
01:10:08.000So everything is to do slow down President Trump, hurt President Trump, or...
01:10:12.000In addition, make sure that a Nikki Haley type sits there and starts to negotiate in July, oh, we can bring the party together, but we have to have a say-so in the administration, which cannot happen.
01:10:23.000She's absolutely poisonous, and she's more ambitious than Lucifer, as Milton said.
01:10:31.000You know, hey, it's Rumble, so I'll say it.
01:10:33.000Imagine how much motherfucking would go on if it was Nikki Haley and her team, what they'd be trying to do to Trump behind his back from literally, like, first, second, like, to position herself for 2028.
01:10:43.000I mean, listen, hey, that would be brutal.
01:11:35.000By the way, I give a hat tip to Jared because Jared actually got – remember, we rented the Hilton Ballroom to try to tell candidate Trump at the time, don't do the ABC interview.
01:11:45.000We can get 1,000 red hats into the Hilton Ballroom in Midtown.
01:11:50.000But there was three of us that basically said you got to throw down – the RNC wanted to cut and run and have what?
01:11:55.000Yeah, no, RNC literally said – You should just get out now and concede and lose, or you'll lose in two weeks and it'll be worse.
01:12:02.000I mean, I remember that was Reince Priebus.
01:12:03.000And I'm sitting there being like, wait, I don't know.
01:15:00.000You know, they can drag some people across a line, but you don't have the time, energy, resources to be able to focus on those individual races.
01:15:07.000That's why you have those big institutions.
01:16:14.000Now, one of the other things I saw this week, you know, and again, I want, you know, the new speakers, he's endorsed Trump, he's MAGA Mike, but, like, I also saw the thing, like, well, we don't really have any evidence to go forward with an impeachment inquiry on Joe Biden.
01:16:52.000No, no, no. There's a totally plausible reason for why Joe's getting hundreds of thousands of dollars.
01:16:57.000There's no evidence, other than the photo, other than the wire transfer, other than the emails, other than 87,000 emails written by Joe Biden under an alias name.
01:17:49.000We have the bank statements. We have the checks.
01:17:51.000We have the proof of money laundering, where Joe Biden got paid by his brother James Biden, and we sourced the money directly back to the CCP. This is not made up.
01:18:01.000It's not a conspiracy theory like Russian collusion, and it's not a political persecution like the government has done to you, your brother, your father, your sister, your entire family, and everyone that has worked for you all.
01:18:15.000And we need a Speaker of the House that isn't walking around expecting everyone to follow the words of the Bible We need a Speaker of the House and we need Republicans in Congress that realize what we're facing.
01:18:27.000And this is a communist takeover of our country.
01:18:30.000And we're going to end up like Brazil next and many other countries where they take away your right to run for office, which they're trying to do to your father.
01:20:10.000Daryl Issa, who voted against it, who voted against it this week, last week, had tweeted, we can't wait to speak to him at his impeachment inquiry.
01:20:18.000Then he votes against it. We saw eight Republicans, like I said, Daryl Issa and seven other Republicans, they didn't vote to impeach Mayorkas, who's literally allowing sex trafficking, human trafficking, drug trafficking to flow across our border.
01:20:38.000It's literally killing hundreds of thousands of Americans.
01:20:43.000And eight Republicans, now we can't do that.
01:20:46.000You know, and there's all the technicality.
01:20:47.000Well, I don't believe maybe it lines, like, this is a clear and present danger to the United States of America.
01:21:12.000I mean, obviously you've been a big champion of the border policies.
01:21:15.000How does the book take readers behind the scenes to understand just how inept and how corrupt the swamp really is?
01:21:24.000Yeah, in my book I wrote the stories that tell you behind the scenes where you think you see the most conservative Republicans lie out the ones that call themselves conservatives, but they're actually conserving nothing.
01:21:37.000Because they aren't doing anything, just like those eight Republicans.
01:21:41.000Let's break that down. Eight Republicans voted to protect Mayorkas and helped him keep his job.
01:21:46.000Well, eight of them, out of that eight, four of them, including Daryl Issa, serve on the Judiciary Committee, Where my articles of impeachment were already sitting on a shelf collecting dust, and they weren't moving them at all.
01:21:59.000And so they voted with the Democrats to send them back to the Judiciary Committee, where they go back on the shelf, and they start collecting dust again.
01:22:08.000Darrell Isis said that I'm a hardworking member of Congress, but I lack maturity.
01:22:13.000Well, I had two of my constituents killed in Texas Two weeks ago, when a 17-year-old working for the cartels was smuggling illegal aliens into Texas, and it murdered these two innocent Americans, lovely couple with five children.
01:22:29.000Their children will never get to see them again, never got to say goodbye.
01:22:33.000And Secretary Mayorkas had a smug look on his face.
01:22:38.000When I held up their picture yesterday at the Homeland Committee hearing, he had no apologies, no remorse, nothing to say for this couple that was killed.
01:22:49.000And he even said that the word invasion is offensive to him.
01:22:55.000The word invasion is offensive to him, but yet eight Republicans can't vote to impeach him.
01:23:00.000And Daryl Isha is a former chairman of the Oversight Committee.
01:23:05.000It's shocking. It's like, why on earth would you not take those precautionary measures?
01:23:09.000Unless, of course, you wanted something to happen.
01:23:12.000I mean, that's literally, you know, these are not conspiracies anymore.
01:23:16.000It's literally the only plausible solution.
01:23:18.000It's not like you have to go out on a limb to get there.
01:23:34.000And it doesn't matter because, you know, Trump did it.
01:23:37.000Like, if it helps Trump, if it helps the case, if it helps the case of the January Sixers themselves, it can't have happened because that goes against the narrative that they've weaponized to get everything that they want.
01:23:49.000No, you're right. And I'll just touch back to that interview.
01:23:51.000I forget the lady's name, the new Meet the Press Lady Welker maybe or something that DJT had the interview with this past weekend.
01:23:58.000And she goes to him, you, did you as the president authorize any other security for January 6th?
01:24:06.000As if she doesn't know the answer to that question.
01:24:09.000He as the president is forbidden by the Constitution from authorizing any other security outside of the National Guard.
01:24:18.000And the Supreme Court has declared unilaterally that even when the president authorizes the National Guard, the state and the mayor and the governor, Pelosi and Bowser here, have to ask for it.
01:24:31.000Because if they didn't, it would be an unconstitutional invasion.
01:24:35.000And then they switch. It's the same narrative they had back in Russiagate.
01:24:48.000As if her entire crew of a thousand people didn't know posse comitatus.
01:24:53.000Who wants a president to be able to unilaterally deploy uniformed military soldiers in the United States of America?
01:24:59.000No one, literally, except meet the press.
01:25:02.000And when you take that and you couple it with, and I remind people of this.
01:25:06.000Actually, I don't know if I've really ever talked about this.
01:25:07.000On January 6th, when Nancy Pelosi finally came to her senses and in the late afternoon asked for the National Guard, she called us the next minute and said, where are they?
01:25:16.000As if I had them, you know, in my back pocket.
01:25:20.000The National Guard are teachers, lawyers, parents, cops.
01:25:26.000They don't magically appear when you snap your fingers.
01:25:29.000But the next part is the part you'll like the most.
01:25:31.000She said, well, I want congressional food services restored so my members can eat.
01:25:37.000Before the election security shenanigans, she wanted food services restored.
01:25:43.000Mind you, by the way, she was too busy filming unlawfully her protege documentary about fleeing during January 6th in secure spaces with her daughter videotaping everything after we had already flown her to a secure space.
01:26:01.000And then they wanted us to bring in belt-fed machine guns.
01:26:04.000Stuff you see in Kandahar, they want us to put it on Pennsylvania Avenue.
01:26:09.000And all of this is out there, and all of this is in my testimony, the SECDEF testimony, everything else.
01:26:14.000But the fake news is ginning it up again because they're running out of narratives right now.
01:26:19.000That we've defeated them with the truth on Russiagate.
01:26:21.000We've defeated them with the truth on impeachment one and two.
01:26:24.000We've defeated them with the truth on all of Donald Trump's prosecutions and Joe Biden and Hunter Biden.
01:26:29.000So what do they have? They have their political dynamo, January 6th, and it's a coordinated strike.
01:26:35.000They are using that and the mainstream media to try to get us to remove Joe Biden, because even the Democrats are smart enough that they don't want that guy to run.
01:26:45.000So talk a little bit about, you know, obviously you worked for Devin Nunes in Congress.
01:26:49.000You were, you know, on an NTEL committee.
01:26:54.000You know, by this time in the Democrat-controlled Congress, I had done about, you know, 50 hours of testimony before those things for, you know, treason, you know, minor details, a crime punishable by death, as we've discussed on this show many times.
01:27:08.000What do you think, you know, and you've also been, you know, on the conservative, you know, they slow rolled you on Russiagate.
01:27:14.000You bring up the truth, they criticize you.
01:27:16.000You know, it's different because of the way they've stacked the deck.
01:27:31.000What's going on? I think it's a combination of the two.
01:27:34.000And if you'll allow me to use you, unfortunately, as an example, because when I was running Russiagate, you went through that interrogation, and you firsthand saw them leaking lies about you in live time.
01:27:45.000They literally changed the dates on my emails to try to create, like...
01:27:50.000You know, he knew about it before instead of after.
01:28:06.000No, remember the Trump Tower meeting where you guys talked about adopting children and facilitating that process and Adam Schiff made it the Russian asset galore meeting.
01:28:17.000You know what I find ironic and not at all surprising?
01:28:22.000How about when a sitting vice president has dinner at Cafe Milano with his son and the mayor of Moscow's wife after she piped him $3.5 million for a business deal?
01:28:35.000The mainstream media spent the last eight years denying that meeting ever happened.
01:28:40.000And then when we got the records and the logs to show that that meeting happened, now they say, oh, Joe Biden had nothing to do with it.
01:28:48.000He was just there as a dinner partner.
01:28:50.000Can you imagine what they would have done to you and your family if you sat down with the mayor of Moscow's wife after some company you're affiliated with got three and a half million dollars?
01:29:00.000This is the hypocrisy that we have to get out there and show them as bad as it was for you.
01:29:06.000And this goes to your question. What Congress is doing right now is letting them get away with this.
01:29:14.000I'm not asking Congress to do a thousand things.
01:29:17.000I'm really asking them to do a couple.
01:29:19.000Why haven't you subpoenaed Chris Wray and Merrick Garland and Hunter Biden?
01:29:22.000Why can't you just run hard at that target set And show the American people the documentation about the bank records, about the meetings, about the CCP, about the Ukraine.
01:29:34.000So the fake news mafia will stop saying, where's the evidence?
01:29:38.000And we're never going to correct the left and their 40%.
01:29:41.000But you know who we're going to win over with Donald Trump saying this week in and week out?
01:29:45.000Is the middle 10% to 15% that decides elections.
01:30:08.000I also think we need to do simple things at Congress like, why does Leon Panetta, Michael Hayden, Deputy Director Morrell and 48 other former CIA and DOD officials have their security clearance that we taxpayers pay for when they were caught lying and rigging a presidential election.
01:30:27.000Do you know how easy it is to zero out that so they don't go into the private sector, which they're doing right now, tens of millions of dollars off that?
01:30:44.000I mean, speaking of crazy, I got to get your reaction to the insanity out of Ukraine.
01:30:49.000You saw the trans spokesman for Ukraine's military is threatening to kill Russia propagandists.
01:30:56.000I mean, around the world. I mean, I guess that means if you say something they disagree with, they think they can just kill you now.
01:31:02.000And I mean... It appears to be more and more unhinged.
01:31:06.000I mean, we've seen this. It seems like an American as well, because they say the answer to the American taxpayer, so this could be taxpayer-funded and or government-sanctioned, and it never ends.
01:31:19.000How would you assess America's involvement in Ukraine at this point?
01:31:48.000Well, it goes back to the same corrupt part in the media.
01:31:52.000They've made this the calling for the radical left in the Biden administration.
01:31:58.000And whether they're paying terrorists $6 billion, excuse me, For American hostages, or spend $115 billion in Ukraine, everything's the same to them.
01:32:13.000Everything's great. But here's the reality.
01:32:16.000Not only do we have zero idea where our $115 billion went.
01:32:20.000By the way, my buddy just went to Ukraine, and he said, The nightlife and the nightclubs and everything was the best he's ever seen anywhere in the world.
01:32:28.000This is what we're funding, the Ukraine.
01:32:31.000And not only that, but Congress allowed Joe Biden to send $6 billion to the Ayatollahs in Iran.
01:32:38.000Who are going to use it to directly fund terror against us.
01:32:42.000And they have the audacity to tell us we will monitor the funds like you did in the Ukraine, like you're doing with fighter jets.
01:32:49.000I mean, these guys can't find a plane.
01:32:52.000We want them to find 1000 times that in financial assets overseas.
01:33:00.000We have never been able to account for 50% of the funds out of Afghanistan, and we never will.
01:33:06.000And the same is going to happen to the Ukraine.
01:33:08.000And my prediction is when Biden is wiped out and Donald Trump is elected, they will somehow hang the $200 billion tag on Donald Trump's head for daring to try and help the Ukraine.
01:33:21.000But here's a scary fact that non-military, non-national security people need to know.
01:33:26.000We, the United States of America, have a finite amount of resources, missiles and technology to defend us and our allies around the world.
01:33:36.000Forget the $115 billion, for a second, that went to the Ukraine.
01:33:40.000Do you know how much of our missile defense system we've given to the Ukraine?
01:33:45.000As in, if we stopped today and tried to resupply, do you know how long it would take us to restore our surface-to-air missile programs?
01:33:55.000Seven years. That means if there's a conflict, God forbid China invades Taiwan, or something happens in the Middle East, or Southeast Asia, or wherever, and they are calling us Americans to employ and deploy with them.
01:34:27.000Well, it seems like there were. I mean, that whistleblower that leaked the information, I mean, it seems like we had boots on the ground.
01:34:33.000And then they caught him, and that story disappeared in an instant.
01:34:38.000Our media doesn't ask about it, because I guess that would hurt Biden if he was waging a, you know, beyond the proxy war that we've been waging, but an actual boots-on-the-ground war in Eastern Europe.
01:34:47.000I mean, you know, what could go wrong, historically speaking?
01:35:47.000He's here at the United Nations calling for more money and actually telling us Americans that if Ukrainians act out in the future and do bad things, it's going to be our fault.
01:36:00.000And we have rubes on Capitol Hill listening to this because they are wed to the defense industrial complex and bought and paid for by Raytheon and Lockheed and Northrop and Boeing.
01:36:10.000And I'm not saying those guys don't do good things, but they have made it an institution to cycle individuals in and out of Washington so that they have golden parachutes and they get the $100 billion contracts every year.
01:36:22.000And what ticks me off about the Ukraine Is not just that we don't know where the money's going.
01:36:30.000That would take enough people off, period.
01:36:32.000I mean, you know, hey, the same government that wants to go after your Venmo account if you spend more than $600 is okay losing half of $150 billion.
01:37:07.000What's the big deal? What's the big deal?
01:37:10.000Our media doesn't even ask the question anymore.
01:37:13.000They blow off the answer and then they're like, oh, okay.
01:37:16.000Oh, okay. I'll accept that as an answer.
01:37:18.000It's lunacy. And the biggest lie is how we're not there.
01:37:24.000American contractors are on the ground.
01:37:26.000And I think soon we're going to find out the facts that uniformed officers are on the ground.
01:37:30.000Are we to believe that the American Congress and the American Commander-in-Chief are so stupid That they send $120 billion in equipment over?
01:37:40.000And they send, what, the Ukrainians an ABC manual translated into Russian and Ukraine on how to launch surface-to-air missiles?
01:37:47.000Who the heck's over there training them?
01:38:22.000Maybe just like 10 million, you know, to go across to their families in need because we sent them overseas, they came back broken, and we failed them.
01:38:31.000And to me, everywhere I go, that's what Americans want to do.
01:38:34.000But because we're being bamboozled by this Senate, by this Democrat and Republican, you know, combination of factors, we are just lighting our taxpayer dollars on fire, which is again why, if they're not going to do the work, I'm going to do the work.
01:38:50.000I'm going to go depose Rod Rosenstein.
01:38:54.000I'm going to go take every one of their depositions and every one of their emails in this lawsuit, and I'm going to publicize it to the world so that they understand that our government has been taken over.
01:39:38.000It showed the impact of those Terrible decisions by, you know, globalist sort of, you know, government officials and others, what that impact meant on a family.
01:39:50.000You know, back then, those types of working class patriots were probably more likely to be Democrats.
01:39:56.000But now, that Democrat Party doesn't exist.
01:40:00.000That Democrat Party is, you know, making sure that your children are learning about the 9,476 genders.
01:40:06.000You know, they don't need to learn math.
01:40:07.000They're like, no, who cares about that?
01:40:09.000We're going to teach them and program them.
01:40:10.000Yeah, that's really I'm not going to help them get a job.
01:40:12.000Yeah. But now, those people are Donald Trump supporters.
01:40:16.000Right. So the disdain for them has come out even more.
01:40:20.000So at the time, you know, when you were doing, and this is really even the original show, I mean, you were sort of, this was going on, and you saw it, but did you know that the show was sort of a warning of what the so-called elites were really trying to do, you know, and what happened to these communities?
01:40:37.000I did. I did, and I kept feeling the whole time I was doing it, and I was fighting so hard, because I do believe in some ways the medium is the message, and believe me, if they knew what I was doing, they never would have let me do it.
01:40:52.000But they're so stupid, they didn't know what I was doing, thank God.
01:40:55.000But I was reaching out like a radio-free America to the American people to tell them what I saw was coming and I was in my head the whole time I was writing and doing I felt like I was doing it for the next generation as well as the people that were watching it then but I felt like it was really for the children of the next generation when they would watch the reruns or whatever which thank god they continued to do for all these almost 40 years but it was a message for them because I knew that We're good to go.
01:41:52.000Together. And that's like somehow not a good message anymore from people.
01:41:58.000Anyway, they each have a job to do and it's for the future of the family to exist.
01:42:04.000So I always knew that they were going to attack that and that I saw it.
01:42:09.000I saw The father's leaving the home in my own community, whether to go to jail or to be killed or whatever.
01:42:17.000I grew up in a working class community, so I saw it.
01:42:20.000But it was like, it was just so by design and knowing my family coming from Europe and going through the Holocaust and everything, that this is always the way they do it.
01:43:23.000They went after, you know, Dave Chappelle.
01:43:25.000Like, you know, one of the most brilliant...
01:43:27.000You know, when I think of, like, you know, some of the skits from Chappelle's show, you know, the Clayton Bigsby, you know, the black-white supremacist.
01:43:33.000I mean... Like, one of the greats of all time, you couldn't even imagine doing it today.
01:43:39.000And yet, you know, every couple of months, I get on, you know, one of the things just to go play that because it was just so funny.
01:44:18.000Racist! And the people that he probably thought he was more aligned with tried to cancel him so quickly.
01:44:25.000Now, so for you, when you travel around the country doing stand-up, do you think that more comedians think like you than are willing to admit it?
01:44:34.000Do you think the damage to comedy in general is so severe because they're not able to get there, right?
01:44:41.000They can't, like, you know what the punchline should be, but you can't quite do it because there are external
01:44:46.000forces working on you and they don't wanna deal with the shit that they're gonna have to deal with these days.
01:44:51.000Well, I think that that was true and it continues to be true
01:44:55.000a lot of places all over the country, but Joe Rogan was...
01:45:04.000He started a club there in Austin, the Mothership, in honor of Mitzi Shore, who was kind of our comedy mom in every way, our spiritual comedy mom.
01:45:15.000And in that club there, there are comics who are keeping the spirit of comedy as the greatest weapon against The powers that be, the establishment.
01:45:30.000And it's just so exciting to be part of it and to see how, you know, comics from all over the country are moving down there, including myself.
01:46:22.000And when I perform at Joe's Club, it's the same thing, and it is the same for the comics Black, White, Asian, and Arab that are working down there.
01:46:32.000It's like, no, we will not be contained.
01:48:57.000What kind of information do we get out that we can even believe?
01:49:00.000I mean, do you believe Ukraine's media, Russia media, our media?
01:49:04.000I don't know if I believe any of them, but I don't know that anyone...
01:49:07.000Is it possible to be worse than our media?
01:49:11.000It's not. I love it when CNN says, man, that Russia propaganda is terrible.
01:49:17.000Yeah, yeah. Yeah, I'm saying, man, I haven't seen, you know, the propaganda coming out of CNN would make, like, Mao and Stalin blush, and yet, like, they pretend that they're real news, and maybe that's why you've been affected.
01:49:31.000I mean, you do say, like, stuff that's real on there.
01:49:36.000You're not afraid to do it, and I think you're also good about promoting other people, not just sort of, you know, so much of the Internet stuff, you see people just stealing other people's stuff and trying to make it their own, and you've done a really good job of that, and maybe they return that favor.
01:49:48.000But, you know, again, How does Cat Turd become one of the biggest voices in the MAGA movement?
01:50:43.000And it didn't hurt when your father started retweeting me.
01:50:46.000That's when it really, when President Trump retweeted me, that's when it really took off, the first time he retweeted me.
01:50:53.000Yeah, well, and I even saw recently, I guess, you did, like, a cat turd poll, and, like, my father put it out there.
01:51:02.000And, by the way, it's probably more accurate than, like, the other polling out there, which is insane, but, like, you put it out there, and, like, the left went insane that he retweeted this poll from cat turd.
01:53:50.000It's crazy just because I just speak the truth, you know, and the truth hurts them bad.
01:53:56.000Yeah, it's sort of amazing, because I say that a lot on the show, and who would have thought that chopping the genitals off a three-year-old would be a fundamental part of the Democrat Party platform?
01:54:10.000And you say it, and they're like, oh my god!
01:55:04.000And then it goes on and on and on through college, and by the time they're 22 years old and they get out of college, they're government zombies.
01:55:13.000So you mentioned the infamous escalator line, which is sort of an amazing start, right?
01:55:19.000Who would have thought that was the start of an entire political movement, maybe the largest in American history?
01:55:23.000But in the elevator before the escalator ride, you actually said something to me.
01:55:28.000I wrote it down in my book, Triggered.
01:55:30.000I just thought it was sort of fascinating because you understood it.
01:55:33.000And you said, now's when we find out who our real friends are.
01:55:37.000Meaning, you understood the way the world works.
01:55:39.000If you're going to do this, you're going to make enemies of people who were friends 15 minutes before that, but more importantly, that you chose to do it anyway, despite, you know, sort of that consequence.
01:55:48.000What have you learned about, you know, friendship and loyalty since then?
01:55:53.000Because I thought business was vicious until we got into politics, and now you realize that's a whole new level.
01:57:02.000Then I got to know him. Then ultimately I gave him the Presidential Medal of Freedom, which was a fantastic, you know, that's the highest civilian award.
01:57:11.000I gave it to him during the State of the Union.
01:57:14.000And you had half the room going wild and half the room was dead silent.
01:58:12.000And from that moment on, that was a very special day.
01:58:16.000But from that moment on, Rush Limbaugh was with me 100%.
01:58:19.000You had some interesting correspondence with Reagan going back and forth in the book.
01:58:23.000But the one that was interesting, there seemed to be a lot of back and forth with you and Richard Nixon.
01:58:28.000His wife even wrote one of the letters, you know, basically, that Donald, if he decides to run, he's going to actually win.
01:58:35.000Talk about that relationship and how did it start?
01:58:38.000Well, you know, they had a very good relationship, actually.
01:58:40.000A lot of people don't know. In fact, the only time I saw Richard Nixon just totally break down was when his wife, who he loved, when she died.
02:00:35.000Those people, all three of them, I have to say that because I'm going to include Linda.
02:00:39.000But she's been, you know, she was head of small business.
02:00:43.000And small business is actually very large business, but the Small Business Administration, and she did a phenomenal job doing that.
02:00:50.000You know, you hear small business, sounds like small, and then you look at, you know, tens of billions and just money like you never saw anything going out.
02:00:59.000She was great. But Dana White, the job he's done with UFC is just incredible.
02:01:12.000There wasn't one person in the whole arena.
02:01:15.000I don't know what they have. Whatever it holds and probably then you add some because the basketball court is much bigger than a ring.
02:01:23.000So what happens is they have, you know, the people are loaded on the court.
02:01:26.000The place was packed. And he said, I've never had anything like that where There was such enthusiasm and love.
02:01:33.000And the fighter even, he's a great guy, Jorge, Jorge Masvidal.
02:01:38.000Great fighter. He was out and he said, Trump, the greatest president we've ever had.
02:01:43.000And it was just- A bunch of the other fighters, by the way, for those who may not have even seen them up to you, I mean, they jumped across the fence and were just giving you total responsibility.
02:01:50.000And, you know, from every demographic, guys, you wouldn't think, but they got it.
02:01:53.000It was sort of unique to see, I think, that fighter, that individual sport, the self-reliance, so many of the things that are conservatives we actually believe.
02:02:01.000It was fascinating. Well, it is true, though.
02:02:03.000I mean, they're in the ring. They can't blame it on somebody else.
02:02:07.000They are there by themselves against rough customers and you gotta offend.
02:02:28.000So speaking of privative, because it feels like it that way these days, you have a great mind in some of the speeches I've heard lately talking about you'd be the greatest women's basketball coach of all time if you could just recruit LeBron James, who, well, that's something I have to share our political beliefs, but still a good basketball player.
02:02:46.000Tell us a little bit about that, because I think it's amazing and true, and it shows how ridiculous what's going on in women's sports, or supposedly women's sports.
02:02:54.000He's a great basketball player, but he's not a person that I like.
02:02:57.000But he's a great basketball player, and as are some others, but he's really a fantastic player.
02:03:04.000But I don't, you know, happen to agree with him, but I said women It's so unfair to women what they're doing.
02:03:12.000They're putting men into women's sports, and they try and justify it.
02:03:16.000That's one of the many things, like open borders, like voter ID, like all of these things.
02:03:20.000There's so many things that's common sense.
02:03:22.000The mutilation of minors. The mutilation.
02:03:25.000There's a hundred different things you could say.
02:03:28.000I actually call it now April Fool's because almost everything, like you said, who would say open borders are good or people are pouring into your country and that's a good thing?
02:04:22.000And they announced there will be no drilling.
02:04:24.000And yet now we take it from Venezuela, which has tar, which has very bad stuff.
02:04:30.000And it's refined in Houston because that's the only plants, those are the only plants that can refine Venezuela oil, which is lousy, which is thick, terrible, very bad.
02:04:40.000If you're a big believer in what they say going into the atmosphere, it's the worst.
02:05:27.000We had the greatest economy in history and we're going to do it again.
02:05:32.000We had, without question, we had the greatest energy with the lowest prices we've ever had and they were coming down even further.
02:05:39.000We had the greatest, it was the greatest moment prior to COVID coming in and then we fixed it and the stock market ended up at the end being higher than it was just pre-COVID and We had the greatest economy in the history of our country.
02:05:55.000There was never a nation in the history of the world that did as well as we were doing just prior to COVID coming in.
02:06:02.000I'll never forget, I had some people, some political people, very big ones, very good ones, and some pollsters in just prior to COVID coming in.
02:06:10.000And we were talking about the election because it was coming down the road pretty soon.
02:06:14.000And they said, if Abraham Lincoln and George Washington got together and came back from the dead, and they ran as president and vice president, they could not beat you.
02:06:25.000And the other thing, and just to finish up, people were coming together.
02:06:30.000I was getting calls from people that you would not suspect.
02:06:33.000And this country was coming together, African-American, Asian-American, Hispanic-American, people with great degrees from the best colleges, people with no degrees, people with no high school degree, people with only a high school degree.
02:07:39.000The disaster we're going through to actually wake up people, people who are agnostic to politics, people who, you know, just busy trying to live their American dream.
02:07:46.000But now they've watched that be exported to China and elsewhere at their expense.
02:07:51.000And I think they're ready to actually fight back for their country.
02:07:56.000I hope they are, and I hope they're going to fight.
02:07:58.000And if they don't fight, we're not going to have a country anymore because this country is in deep, deep trouble, including the possibility of World War III, which would be a nuclear war, which would be unlike anything that anybody or any nation has ever experienced.
02:08:13.000And we're much closer than we are further.
02:08:18.000But we have people that don't know what they're doing.
02:08:20.000And we have China, and we have Russia, and they're teaming up, and now they have Iran, and they have North Korea, and they're all teaming up against us, and we have nobody.
02:08:27.000We're losing countries, and they're gaining countries.
02:08:30.000And if we lose our dollar standard, which is a real possibility now...
02:08:34.000Every day? That will be like losing a war.
02:08:37.000That would be in many ways bigger than losing a war.
02:08:40.000So I hope people are going to get out and they're going to vote in the primaries and they're going to vote in the election.
02:08:46.000And if we don't change government, we're not going to have a country anymore.
02:09:00.000So if you get your podcast that way, if you're traveling, if you're in your car, if you listen along, whatever it may be, when you're working out, You can get it that way.
02:10:33.000And last but not least, guys, go check out The Wellness Company.
