Triggered - Donald Trump Jr - HULK HOGAN LIVE FROM THE RNC

00:00:00.000 What's going on guys?

00:00:22.000 Welcome to another huge episode of Triggered.

00:00:25.000 I want to start with unfortunately some very sad news.

00:00:29.000 The great Lou Dobbs, journalist, friend, one of the sort of original guys that understood MAGA in the media.

00:00:37.000 Tonight is the final night of the Republican National Convention.

00:00:39.000 America First values and a great man. I've been on the show, I've been on his show many

00:00:43.000 times. I literally just heard that today and it's terribly, terribly sad. But tonight is

00:00:49.000 the final night of the Republican National Convention. My father will accept the Republican

00:00:54.000 nomination for President of the United States for the third time. It's going to be a historic

00:01:02.000 You will not want to miss any of that.

00:01:04.000 Tonight, we're gonna have some fun guests a little bit different.

00:01:08.000 I'm joined by my daughter, Kai, who gave her first speech ever last night at the convention.

00:01:16.000 She absolutely crushed it. 1.00

00:01:17.000 This is a 17-year-old girl who's with me.

00:01:20.000 When we got the news about my father being shot, she's the one that's the golfer, so she's with him every weekend, and they talk all the time, and they have a special relationship.

00:01:29.000 And this little girl, she's not so little anymore maybe, but quite little girl, called me up and said, I want to speak at the RNC.

00:01:37.000 I was like, that's a big one.

00:01:39.000 To jump onto the RNC at that stage, you know, 30,000 people live, tens of millions on TV, and she absolutely crushed it, so I'm going to talk with her.

00:01:47.000 We also have Hulk Hogan coming on.

00:01:50.000 Hulk's going to be speaking at the conference tonight, along with some other great speakers.

00:01:55.000 Dana White, I know Kid Rock's playing, but Hulk Hogan's going to be here.

00:01:58.000 We were supposed to have JD Vance, but he got sucked into a fundraiser stupidly, and now I got to get... So, you know, they forget really quickly.

00:02:05.000 I'm going to give them a hard time about that one later on, but...

00:02:08.000 But we're going to get J.D.

00:02:10.000 on the show very soon, but obviously it's the RNC.

00:02:14.000 He's got to work.

00:02:14.000 We got to win.

00:02:15.000 That's the most important.

00:02:17.000 I want to begin, before we get to Hulk Hogan, I want to begin with a clip from my daughter's CHI speech last night.

00:02:25.000 It was absolutely incredible.

00:02:27.000 I could not have been more proud.

00:02:29.000 So here's the clip, and then we'll be back with CHI live in studio.

00:02:35.000 But I got a call on Monday morning.

00:02:37.000 from a young lady who said, Dad, I want to speak at the RNC.

00:02:44.000 I want to speak at the RNC because I want America to know what my grandpa is actually like.

00:02:57.000 Applause you

00:03:02.000 So for the first time ever on a stage, first time ever giving a speech, I want to bring out my eldest daughter and the eldest

00:03:11.000 granddaughter of the President of the United States, your favorite president, Kai Madison

00:03:18.000 Trump.

00:03:19.000 Hi everyone, my name is Kai Madison Trump.

00:03:42.000 I am the granddaughter of Donald Trump.

00:03:45.000 I'm speaking today to share the side of my grandpa that people don't often see.

00:03:51.000 To me, he's just a normal grandpa.

00:03:54.000 He gives us candy and soda when our parents aren't looking.

00:04:00.000 He always wants to know how we're doing in school.

00:04:04.000 When I made the high honor roll, he printed it out to show his friends how proud he was of me.

00:04:09.000 I know.

00:04:15.000 He calls me during the middle of the school day to ask how my golf game is going and tells me all about his.

00:04:25.000 But then I have to remind him that I'm in school and I'll have to call him back later.

00:04:33.000 When we play golf together, if I'm not on his team, he'll try to get inside of my head.

00:04:39.000 I know.

00:04:40.000 And he's always surprised that I don't let him get to me.

00:04:46.000 But I have to remind him, I'm a Trump too.

00:04:48.000 Okay.

00:04:59.000 So this is going to be a hard-hitting interview.

00:05:01.000 I now have Kai live on camera.

00:05:04.000 And as a dad, this is a great opportunity for dad jokes.

00:05:08.000 Uh, like I may start off with tough questions like, how cute are you?

00:05:10.000 And the answer is, the answer is quite, quite cute.

00:05:14.000 Am I embarrassing you yet?

00:05:15.000 And I just get you a little blushy.

00:05:17.000 No, I'm just kidding.

00:05:18.000 First of all, I just want to tell you how incredibly proud I was at that moment.

00:05:26.000 You did incredible.

00:05:27.000 I was standing on the back, and I was like, I don't know what's going to happen.

00:05:29.000 I mean, your first speech ever was to, like, 30,000 people live, tens of millions on TV.

00:05:33.000 That could be hard.

00:05:37.000 Were you at all nervous before that speech?

00:05:40.000 Just a tad bit.

00:05:41.000 Just a tad?

00:05:41.000 Just a little.

00:05:42.000 But you nailed it.

00:05:44.000 Oh, yeah.

00:05:45.000 I mean, it was from the heart, so it's not...

00:05:48.000 It's like it was easy if it was from the heart.

00:05:50.000 Yeah, that's the thing. So I saw, honestly, the, I think Kai's speech was by far the best of the

00:05:54.000 night. Certainly that's what I'm seeing on social. People loved it. And then you have

00:05:58.000 the usual stuff like, well, that was a great political strategy to put her up there. And I 0.94

00:06:01.000 was like, that wasn't a political strategy. Like I would never put you in that position. I've never

00:06:05.000 asked you to do any of those things. Right. So it was, it was funny. You know, Kai was with me.

00:06:08.000 I I got the unusual phone call this weekend of, hey dad, will you take me fishing?

00:06:14.000 That's like a once a year phone call that I get where, like, she actually chooses to spend time with dad.

00:06:18.000 Once a year we'll go fishing or play shooting.

00:06:20.000 Usually once a year we go fishing, once a year we'll go shooting and then it's like, you know.

00:06:24.000 That's about all I can get.

00:06:25.000 And then for the whole year, just nothing else?

00:06:27.000 Then it's basically like, yeah, maybe I'll get lucky for a dinner, but like, you know.

00:06:32.000 So when you get that chance as a dad, you know, you go.

00:06:36.000 So we took Kai and a couple of our friends, we went out on the boat, we were doing great, we were catching.

00:06:41.000 And she was like, we're good.

00:06:45.000 And then we got the call, you know, that, you know, you would call grandpa, I'd call dad.

00:06:51.000 It was shot.

00:06:52.000 And we didn't know when we're rushing back and trying to figure it out.

00:06:54.000 And you were actually very calm, very curious, but like, just, you know, it was a tense, tense thing.

00:07:00.000 And then we got done with that.

00:07:01.000 We finally spoke to him and we broke the ice and I asked him how his hair was doing.

00:07:04.000 And he said, the hair is fine.

00:07:06.000 Don, the hair is fine.

00:07:07.000 A little bit bloody.

00:07:08.000 But, uh, so it was a good moment of levity for the family.

00:07:11.000 But, you know, I could see it, you know, it hit all the kids a little differently.

00:07:16.000 Chloe's was a little harder to explain to a 10 year old.

00:07:17.000 You're 17.

00:07:18.000 You got it.

00:07:19.000 But you called me on Monday morning and were like, I want to speak this week.

00:07:25.000 I mean, what, what, what made, what made you want to do that?

00:07:28.000 Cause that's, I mean, that's, I was like, man, I don't know.

00:07:31.000 That's, that's ballsy.

00:07:32.000 I was impressed.

00:07:33.000 I was like, but what, what made, what were you thinking before that?

00:07:36.000 Cause we've never even had that conversation.

00:07:38.000 I mean really like after what happened I thought I should just because I mean what happened was horrible and I thought I can maybe make a change in that and not just not like political change just tell everyone about my grandpa.

00:07:52.000 So uh that's why really afterwards.

00:07:54.000 Yeah you actually you know what people most people don't know you know my dad doesn't hang around with a lot of teenagers but uh you guys have a really unique relationship because of golf and uh you know you're the little rock star golfer in our family and that's what that's his sort of passion and so You guys probably spend more time together than anyone.

00:08:14.000 So I think this one probably... You ticked this one pretty personal, because you do have that, like you spoke about in the speech.

00:08:19.000 You have, you know... We have that relationship.

00:08:21.000 You joke, you compete with each other when you're on the same team.

00:08:23.000 It's good when you're not on the same team.

00:08:25.000 He's playing the same games he is with, like, you know, a real business guy that he really wants to beat.

00:08:30.000 He does not... He doesn't care.

00:08:32.000 It doesn't matter.

00:08:33.000 Has he ever given you a putt?

00:08:35.000 No, never.

00:08:35.000 He can make you put it out of order.

00:08:38.000 Even if it's an inch, never.

00:08:39.000 You never know.

00:08:41.000 Have you ever outdriven him?

00:08:44.000 I don't think I can discuss that right now.

00:08:47.000 You're not going to talk about that?

00:08:49.000 I can't say that.

00:08:49.000 You can tell she's a Trump, not only that she has the guts to get up on a stage like that and to do that, but she also knows what not to say sometimes, which isn't our strongest suit, but that was probably a very smart tactical decision to not talk about possibly outdriving Grandpa on occasion, right?

00:09:07.000 Yeah, he wouldn't really like if I discussed that today.

00:09:10.000 So, so what was that like?

00:09:11.000 Like, listen, we helped you, you know, try to prep and you did such a good job, but what was it like?

00:09:17.000 You know, it sounds like a great idea at the time.

00:09:19.000 And then was there ever a moment where it was like, you walk out into that arena, even when during the prep times, you're like, Oh my god, like this isn't just like speaking in front of a classroom.

00:09:28.000 Like, I was really excited to do it.

00:09:30.000 I wasn't nervous at all.

00:09:31.000 Honestly, I wasn't nervous at all the first two days because like everything I always think, oh it's gonna be easy, right?

00:09:37.000 Yeah.

00:09:37.000 And then I land in Milwaukee and we go to the stadium and there's a lot of people.

00:09:43.000 I'm like, oh no.

00:09:44.000 I'm like, what did I get myself into?

00:09:46.000 Yeah, we're prepping.

00:09:47.000 We're about to go on and I'm like watching Kygo.

00:09:49.000 Oh yeah, I started doing my breathing techniques.

00:09:52.000 I was like, this could be a disaster. 0.99

00:09:55.000 At first, my only concern was like, hey, don't cry, because I don't want to ruin and destroy my long-held reputation of being a total jerk. 0.99

00:10:05.000 If they saw me crying, they'd say I'm human. 0.98

00:10:07.000 I don't want that.

00:10:08.000 I couldn't ruin that.

00:10:10.000 And so I had, yeah, it was good.

00:10:13.000 And it was funny, because I couldn't tell actually how Well, she was doing because I stood about five feet behind you and off to the side.

00:10:20.000 It sounds different.

00:10:20.000 And the sound is different.

00:10:22.000 Yeah.

00:10:22.000 And so I was like, oh my God, is she just mumbling through it?

00:10:25.000 Which, which can happen, right?

00:10:26.000 People get scared, their tongues fit really fast in it.

00:10:28.000 When you, uh, introduced me, I couldn't even really honestly hear what you were saying.

00:10:32.000 Like, I didn't know it was like my time to go.

00:10:34.000 Yeah.

00:10:34.000 I just like, know you were talking and then...

00:10:37.000 And then the lady goes, okay, it's your turn to go. 0.79

00:10:40.000 I'm like, wait, what?

00:10:40.000 He didn't even say anything.

00:10:42.000 He's like, no, he said it.

00:10:43.000 I'm like, oh, okay, here I go.

00:10:45.000 So by the way, we're breaking some new ground, right?

00:10:48.000 That was your first speech.

00:10:49.000 That was a big one.

00:10:50.000 Yeah.

00:10:51.000 You also did your first TV hit today with Martha McCallum and me on Fox News.

00:10:55.000 And now is this your first podcast?

00:10:58.000 I've joined once at your house.

00:11:00.000 Oh, you did?

00:11:01.000 That's right, you came on.

00:11:02.000 Okay, well, you did a quick cameo peek.

00:11:05.000 Yeah, I kind of showed up way later than I left.

00:11:07.000 S-Man, how you doing, buddy?

00:11:11.000 S-Man's been on the show.

00:11:11.000 You want to pop in and sit down for a second?

00:11:15.000 Look at how well you're dressed, little buddy.

00:11:17.000 So, S-Man, this is Spencer.

00:11:20.000 Spencer has popped in on the show before.

00:11:21.000 Are you going to give a speech next time?

00:11:26.000 Maybe.

00:11:27.000 He's a man of many words, folks.

00:11:29.000 I'm just messing around with you, buddy.

00:11:30.000 You did really good this whole weekend.

00:11:32.000 So now you've done it all.

00:11:35.000 Donnie was on with the Nug Boys earlier, so he beat you to the podcast today, but you're right.

00:11:42.000 You've popped on the show before, so it's good.

00:11:44.000 I just wanted to say I was so proud of you last night.

00:11:47.000 I thought you did incredible.

00:11:48.000 It was such an important message because you're right.

00:11:50.000 You've seen the grandpa that is a grandpa.

00:11:52.000 Grandpa doesn't like showing that side of him, right?

00:11:54.000 He likes being tough.

00:11:55.000 He likes, you know, he doesn't want Putin to see that he he's soft and he cares about anything or whatever it may be.

00:12:01.000 So I thought it was the best speech of the night and As a Trump, I'm a little disappointed that you gave that speech because it overshadowed my incredibly brilliant and perfectly delivered speech of the evening, which really pisses me off, but I thought it was amazing.

00:12:15.000 And if I'm gonna lose to someone, especially a 17-year-old girl, I am glad that it is you, Kai.

00:12:20.000 So, you're the best, and I love you so, so much.

00:12:23.000 Yeah, thank you.

00:12:24.000 You too.

00:12:26.000 All right, guys.

00:12:27.000 We're waiting.

00:12:28.000 Hulk Hogan's going to be on his way over here.

00:12:30.000 We're going to get to Rick Grinnell in a couple moments.

00:12:33.000 We'll probably flip that, reverse the order a little bit.

00:12:36.000 And I just want to thank some of our sponsors.

00:12:38.000 We've been doing the show sort of randomly over the last couple days.

00:12:40.000 Haven't even gotten to them because sort of unplanned shows.

00:12:44.000 Remember to protect your physical health with The Wellness Company, guys. 0.51

00:13:28.000 I saw you speak the other day, buddy.

00:13:30.000 You did well.

00:13:31.000 How are you, man?

00:13:32.000 Everything good?

00:13:35.000 You're crushing it.

00:13:36.000 Thank you.

00:13:36.000 We're having some fun.

00:13:37.000 We're having some fun.

00:13:39.000 So, Rick, you're a longtime sort of politico.

00:13:44.000 Involved before... My ninth convention, Don.

00:13:46.000 Ninth?

00:13:47.000 Wow.

00:13:48.000 That's a really long time.

00:13:49.000 I figured, like, okay.

00:13:51.000 You were there.

00:13:53.000 In 16.

00:13:54.000 Right?

00:13:55.000 Trump is this new rabble rouser in the party.

00:13:58.000 I mean, I think you may have been there when I almost got in a fight with Mike Lee, like a senator on the floor because they were trying to do this deal.

00:14:03.000 Now he's literally one of my closest friends in politics.

00:14:09.000 Such a different vibe this time.

00:14:10.000 I mean, can you talk about the difference?

00:14:12.000 Yeah, look, you know, it makes sense when you just kind of look at the evolution of politics, how, you know, it was, I think the Republican Party, like the Democratic Party, was controlled by a bunch of elites.

00:14:23.000 Yeah.

00:14:23.000 And what the Democrats are going through right now is, is it's going to be unbelievable.

00:14:28.000 If they try to replace Joe Biden, ignore 50 states that voted for him, and suddenly a group of elites at the convention decide to dump him and replace him with

00:14:41.000 who they want, to me that's where we were in 16. It was, we had an

00:14:47.000 outsider, we had an insurgent coming in and saying, you know, what I love in looking back is Donald

00:14:56.000 Trump critiqued the Bushes, the McCains, and the Romneys.

00:15:01.000 And everybody said, if you do that, you will never win a primary.

00:15:05.000 And not only did he win the primary, but he won the general.

00:15:08.000 Yeah.

00:15:09.000 And that, to me, is remarkable.

00:15:10.000 And it goes to show you that people are sick and tired of kind of the elites controlling politics.

00:15:17.000 You look across Europe right now, there's no theme of whether the conservatives are winning or the progressives are winning.

00:15:25.000 The theme is everybody who's been there is getting thrown out.

00:15:28.000 Yeah.

00:15:29.000 They're sick and tired.

00:15:30.000 They're not sure what kind of change they want.

00:15:32.000 They just don't want those people doing it anymore.

00:15:34.000 Exactly.

00:15:35.000 And to me, I love that because that's kind of what our founding fathers were all about.

00:15:39.000 They were insurgents.

00:15:40.000 Yeah.

00:15:40.000 They were like, get rid of this.

00:15:41.000 And, you know, they were called terrorists and all sorts of names.

00:15:45.000 And so I just feel like we have a leader in Donald Trump.

00:15:50.000 Wow.

00:15:51.000 That has just empowered us to think about the people.

00:15:54.000 Yeah.

00:15:54.000 To reject the elites.

00:15:57.000 And yet it's coming from a billionaire.

00:15:58.000 Like, it's so cool.

00:16:00.000 You're seeing all the news about, you know, Pelosi, Schumer, Obama calling for Joe Biden to drop out.

00:16:07.000 Do you think he can make it to be the nominee?

00:16:08.000 Do you think he wants to let go?

00:16:09.000 It seems like Jill desperately wants, like, another cover of Vogue and loves traveling on, 0.99

00:16:13.000 you know, Air Force One.

00:16:15.000 What do you think happens there?

00:16:17.000 I mean, can they replace him with anyone other than Kamala?

00:16:20.000 And do you think it's much of a different race if it is Kamala versus Joe?

00:16:24.000 There's much change.

00:16:25.000 Yeah, I'm not too worried about whether or not they change him out, because if they do, they have to go with Kamala.

00:16:31.000 I mean, I know Gavin Newsom, Democrat staffers, and they say he's not going to try to raise a billion dollars in five weeks.

00:16:41.000 Well, I think he's also smart enough to probably not want to run against Trump.

00:16:44.000 You know, it's a, you know, it's a, That's much more of an unknown than others.

00:16:49.000 You have one shot.

00:16:50.000 You don't want to ruin it.

00:16:52.000 And so I think they've got to stick with either Joe or Kamala, which means the policies are the same.

00:16:57.000 She's not going to be able to run from the policies of open border.

00:17:00.000 And they're going to have to spend a lot of money to tell people that gas prices are low because they're not.

00:17:07.000 Yeah.

00:17:08.000 No, well, and that's right.

00:17:08.000 I mean, I said, it doesn't matter if it's Joe Kamala, frankly, any other Democrat at this point, because their policies are what have caused the chaos around the world.

00:17:15.000 They're causing the wars, they're doing this, so it's interesting.

00:17:18.000 I mean, and I would imagine, there's, I've been saying for a while, like, there is a part of me that says, like, I almost rather run against Kamala Harris, especially, like, I don't think she's gonna resonate well in the Rust Belt.

00:17:27.000 Right.

00:17:27.000 And I don't think they can bring in a VP that helps them there, because the message is too different.

00:17:31.000 Just look at what they've done.

00:17:33.000 You can try to find a Rust Belt Democrat to help, and like, Would that person even want to hitch his wagon too?

00:17:39.000 Kamala Harris.

00:17:40.000 Right.

00:17:42.000 Look, they're going to come up with some sort of scheme because these elites love to try to control it.

00:17:48.000 But I think we just have to stick to the, you know, undermining democracy, blah, blah, blah.

00:17:53.000 Yeah.

00:17:53.000 I mean, this is what they now are doing is undermining democracy after like hitting us so hard on it.

00:18:01.000 I think you're right, though.

00:18:02.000 Kamala Harris would be amazing. 1.00

00:18:04.000 She's never been vetted.

00:18:05.000 She's never, ever been vetted in California.

00:18:07.000 Democrats don't get vetted.

00:18:09.000 It's a DEI rotation.

00:18:11.000 It's like, who's next?

00:18:13.000 You know, we're gonna have a gay guy next, then we're gonna have an Asian, then we're gonna have a... But the straight white guy's picking everybody the whole time.

00:18:19.000 It's true.

00:18:20.000 Yeah, well, Kimberly has some interesting stories.

00:18:23.000 That's a different show.

00:18:24.000 That's a different show.

00:18:26.000 Yeah, that's... That's the X version.

00:18:28.000 That may be too X-rated even for Rumble, but I want to get your take, Rick, obviously.

00:18:35.000 You know, a lot's changed in a couple of days.

00:18:37.000 You saw, you know, a literal assassination attempt on my father.

00:18:40.000 But someone who's not just a guy with a Secret Service detail, but also the presumptive nominee, so a pretty built-up Secret Service detail.

00:18:49.000 Kimberly Cheadle.

00:18:50.000 She's in Milwaukee.

00:18:52.000 And Republican Senators Marshall Blackburn, John Barrasso.

00:18:56.000 You know, Marshall was on my show yesterday, because she was like, do you believe the timing of this?

00:18:59.000 Like, they knew before they ever put your father on the stage that there was a guy on a roof.

00:19:03.000 Like, what?

00:19:04.000 You know.

00:19:07.000 I don't want to be the guy to get conspiratorial, but how do you not?

00:19:12.000 How is there that kind of breakdown for a presumptive nominee?

00:19:18.000 It seems like lunacy, and that the Secret Service Director is running away from active senators who want to ask real questions of them, and she doesn't feel obligated to respond or speak to them?

00:19:31.000 Kevin Cramer was there as well.

00:19:32.000 I mean, three senators and she's like, I'm not talking to you.

00:19:35.000 I'm like, really?

00:19:35.000 You're not talking to... It's really unbelievable.

00:19:38.000 It seems crazy.

00:19:40.000 What do you make of all of this stuff?

00:19:41.000 Well, first of all, you and I are friends.

00:19:43.000 So, you know, I know you're strong.

00:19:46.000 And yet I feel really compelled to say this is that I'm sorry that your family has to go through this because it's not fair.

00:19:55.000 It's not right.

00:19:56.000 And when I saw on Saturday a man that I love, that is changing America,

00:20:02.000 for a moment I didn't know if he was dead.

00:20:07.000 Oh, I didn't know for 90 minutes.

00:20:09.000 We haven't even spoken about it, really.

00:20:11.000 Like, we've been running around doing it.

00:20:12.000 I didn't know for 90 minutes.

00:20:13.000 No, it's outrageous.

00:20:14.000 I got a call from Kim, like, your dad's been shot.

00:20:16.000 I'm like, oh.

00:20:17.000 No, it's- And?

00:20:18.000 Like, what does that mean?

00:20:19.000 Like, are you serious?

00:20:20.000 Right, it's so outrageous, but, you know, not to get too spiritual,

00:20:25.000 But I actually believe that God showed us on Saturday that he has a plan.

00:20:30.000 By the way, a hundred. Now, that doesn't mean we don't just, we, we, everyone still has to be invective.

00:20:36.000 Yeah, I'm coming to that. I'm coming to that. I'm coming to that.

00:20:39.000 God gave us a brain. God gave us a brain.

00:20:41.000 I'm just saying, I'm not overly spiritual. I believe in this, but I'm not, and I was like, no way.

00:20:47.000 It was divine intervention.

00:20:48.000 As a shooter, that's like a six-inch putt, you know, 130-yard shot with a rested rifle on a roof.

00:20:54.000 It doesn't get easier than that.

00:20:56.000 Yeah.

00:20:56.000 For him to... By the way, and also, the other crazy part of it is he's pointing to an immigration chart, ironically, but I've been to dozens, maybe a hundred rallies.

00:21:08.000 I don't know.

00:21:09.000 I've literally never seen him go to a chart.

00:21:11.000 Me neither.

00:21:11.000 He goes to a chart, he goes like this, and that's when it's like... I mean, imagine...

00:21:16.000 The one time he ever does something and that's the thing that has to be the hand of God.

00:21:20.000 It's truly unbelievable.

00:21:22.000 It is the hand of God, but here's the other thing is that I don't want... I mean, a congressional investigation is dumb. 0.99

00:21:31.000 I also don't want the FBI to give me the pre-written report that they wrote on Friday, the day before it happened. 0.92

00:21:40.000 Everything was fine, there was a breakdown, they'll blame it on some local cop who's the fall guy and nothing will actually happen.

00:21:46.000 I don't believe a radicalized 20-year-old, radicalized enough to try to shoot my father in the face It's the only 20-year-old in the world that doesn't have a social media footprint at all.

00:21:59.000 I don't believe that.

00:22:00.000 I don't believe it either.

00:22:01.000 That's probably how they got radicalized.

00:22:03.000 It didn't just happen magically, right?

00:22:05.000 That can't be.

00:22:07.000 We know this to all be true.

00:22:09.000 This is starting to be a cover-up.

00:22:13.000 Because they're scrambling every day that goes by that we don't know a basic answer.

00:22:18.000 Why was the roof not covered with Secret Service agents?

00:22:23.000 That's a basic question.

00:22:25.000 That doesn't take a congressional investigation.

00:22:27.000 That takes someone saying, we messed up, we didn't think about it, we got confused, local cops were supposed to do it, we thought, whatever.

00:22:35.000 I want to know the answer.

00:22:36.000 And to me, Congress is useless unless they go and say, what is the answer?

00:22:44.000 I don't want a report.

00:22:45.000 I don't want 18 months.

00:22:46.000 I don't want $50 million later.

00:22:47.000 What's the answer?

00:22:49.000 There was a breakdown.

00:22:51.000 They knew for 10, 15, 20 minutes, almost, that the guy's on the roof.

00:22:55.000 He was suspicious from 5 o'clock.

00:22:56.000 My father went on approximately 6 o'clock.

00:22:58.000 But at 5.51, Marsha told us, like, the guy with a rangefinder and a weird pack.

00:23:03.000 Yeah.

00:23:03.000 At 5.53, He's on a roof with a rifle.

00:23:07.000 A total breakdown.

00:23:08.000 At 6 o'clock he, like, no one in, like, no law enforcement communicated it.

00:23:13.000 It's like, well, hey, there's a shooter on the rooftop, I'm just gonna, okay, I'll move on and let it go.

00:23:18.000 There's no follow-up, they're not like, what the fu- Anybody know him?

00:23:21.000 Anybody know why there's a shooter?

00:23:23.000 You know, they're like asking. 0.97

00:23:25.000 It's beyond ridiculous. 0.85

00:23:27.000 And we've got to get to the bottom of it. 0.94

00:23:29.000 People need to be fired. 0.96

00:23:31.000 People need to be held account.

00:23:32.000 This cannot be... I'm sorry, but we're going to keep doing outdoor rallies.

00:23:37.000 And I want to know that there is a plan in place to keep the president, the former president, the future president, safe.

00:23:45.000 Imagine if he had been killed and we were at a funeral.

00:23:50.000 This country would be torn apart. 0.74

00:23:54.000 Yeah, I mean, honestly, what's sort of interesting about it, and again, I'm pretty damn conservative.

00:23:59.000 I consider myself a reasonable, intelligent person.

00:24:03.000 I know other, like, reasonable, intelligent people.

00:24:07.000 People who are successful and have good families and businesses that were like, oh yeah, we just averted, like, a civil war.

00:24:13.000 We really did.

00:24:14.000 Like, they were like, this would have been The downfall of America.

00:24:19.000 It's almost hard to think of it in those terms, but...

00:24:22.000 That really is.

00:24:22.000 I mean, the way I look at it, it's like, hey, if reasonable, successful people that are doing this, if they're at the point where they're getting radicalized against our government because of the constant failures, what's like the Florida man?

00:24:36.000 What's going through that guy's head right now?

00:24:38.000 You know what I mean?

00:24:39.000 I want to say this, Don, because I really mean it, is that Avril Haines, who's the Director of National Intelligence, she's had so many failures where she's been silent.

00:24:48.000 Think of, um, what happened...

00:24:50.000 Well, you actually, by the way, to be clear, Rick had that role in my father's administration.

00:24:54.000 He was the DNI, so Director of National Intelligence.

00:24:57.000 You know how all of this worked.

00:24:59.000 I mean, you did this.

00:25:00.000 Like...

00:25:01.000 Whether it's Afghanistan, October 7th, or now this, we have information that the public needs to know.

00:25:09.000 Yeah.

00:25:10.000 You will never convince me that the American Intelligence Service didn't know

00:25:14.000 that some sort of October 7th was about to happen.

00:25:17.000 Maybe it was another 9-11 failure where we had the raw intelligence and they didn't communicate or whatever.

00:25:23.000 She's never come clean.

00:25:24.000 She's never talked about this.

00:25:26.000 Now we have a former president shot in public.

00:25:32.000 A member of the public has died at a public event.

00:25:37.000 And she wants to just brief members of Congress?

00:25:40.000 No, no, no.

00:25:41.000 The public has a right to know what did Avril Haines and the intelligence community know?

00:25:46.000 When did they know it?

00:25:48.000 Why isn't she coming clean? 0.98

00:25:49.000 Why isn't she talking about these issues?

00:25:52.000 She's getting away with so much.

00:25:54.000 I couldn't do anything without them being all over me.

00:25:58.000 Well, and that's precisely... Why is there a different standard for a Director of National Intelligence just because they happen to be, you know, a Democrat?

00:26:06.000 I mean, and why does the people who hold them account?

00:26:09.000 When do the strongly worded letters from members of Congress, like, when does that get old even for our guys?

00:26:15.000 It's so old for me.

00:26:16.000 I wrote the letter, so it's like, we're fine.

00:26:18.000 I guess we, no follow up.

00:26:19.000 I mean.

00:26:20.000 Right.

00:26:20.000 That's exactly what happens.

00:26:21.000 Well, the problem is, is that in theory, the people holding these politicians to account are supposed to be the fourth estate, the media.

00:26:30.000 And yet the media are completely playing games.

00:26:33.000 Imagine a world where the New York Times and the Washington Post were holding Avril Haines to account.

00:26:38.000 Say, what did you know about October 7th?

00:26:40.000 What did you know about this?

00:26:41.000 They should be hounding her.

00:26:43.000 Yeah, the October 7th one is another one like that, which is like, you mean like between us and the Israelis, like, you know, the IDF and or Mossad, like a guarded fence, like they got mobilized like air scooters, like, right.

00:27:00.000 And we didn't know about it.

00:27:01.000 I don't know, man.

00:27:02.000 There was no chatter.

00:27:03.000 There's no way.

00:27:04.000 We absolutely had intelligence.

00:27:08.000 It wasn't shared.

00:27:09.000 I am convinced of that.

00:27:10.000 There's too many people that know too many things and we are too good to be able to say we didn't know anything about it.

00:27:17.000 I think it's an intelligence failure.

00:27:19.000 I think that there were little bits and pieces that we had and somebody didn't put them together.

00:27:27.000 Again, just like 9-11.

00:27:29.000 And they've never been held to account.

00:27:31.000 Because look, all the intel reporters that cover her, I know them. 0.83

00:27:36.000 They're not intel people.

00:27:38.000 They're political hacks.

00:27:39.000 Half of them are like scribes for the deep state, it feels like.

00:27:42.000 You know what I mean?

00:27:43.000 You see the Pentagon leaks and it's like, that guy's the leaker for this branch of the military-industrial complex.

00:27:51.000 The same anonymous sources.

00:27:52.000 The same anonymous, the diversionary texts. 1.00

00:27:54.000 And you read it, it's like, That's bullshit. 1.00

00:27:56.000 It has to be bullshit. 1.00

00:27:56.000 Like, who's going to believe it? 1.00

00:27:57.000 And these morons will write... They're so like... They use each other as sources. 1.00

00:28:01.000 They'll just debase themselves.

00:28:02.000 They'll just, yeah, they'll... No, Politico will say, according to a Washington Post reporter, and then they all just repeat.

00:28:08.000 It's repeat, recycle, repeat, recycle.

00:28:11.000 It's unbelievable.

00:28:13.000 It has to change.

00:28:14.000 We have to start sending people to Washington.

00:28:16.000 How do you do that, though?

00:28:16.000 It's not just the, you know...

00:28:18.000 You were a DNI, but this stuff would still go on, because they'd keep information even from you, I'm sure.

00:28:22.000 Or, you know, just... It's sort of like when people would deal with my father, when they want an answer.

00:28:27.000 It may not be the best answer for my father, but they want the answer that they're on someone's payroll to get, or whatever it is.

00:28:32.000 So they show up and they're like, Here's what you need to know.

00:28:35.000 And they conveniently leave out all of this information, which was the other stuff you'd need to know that would negate the answer that they want.

00:28:42.000 So it's sort of a lie by omission.

00:28:44.000 Yes.

00:28:45.000 How do you get rid of that?

00:28:46.000 Because it's not just the guy at the top.

00:28:48.000 It's the entire pyramid down below where this stuff gets going on, where they slow roll it.

00:28:53.000 You saw the generals.

00:28:54.000 Well, we just disagree with Trump. 1.00

00:28:56.000 I don't give a shit. 0.99

00:28:57.000 It's not your job to agree with that. 0.99

00:28:59.000 You get it done, but they can get away with that because they think they're somehow elected officials or they don't care.

00:29:05.000 Look, the solution is sending people to Washington that don't have their church, their family life, their social life in Washington.

00:29:13.000 You look at somebody like Ron Johnson.

00:29:15.000 who his entire life is back in Wisconsin.

00:29:17.000 He doesn't want to be there.

00:29:19.000 He doesn't have friends and a life there.

00:29:22.000 It's back in Wisconsin.

00:29:24.000 We need that.

00:29:25.000 We need to send people who go back home for everything. 1.00

00:29:28.000 Their dry cleaning is home.

00:29:30.000 Their shoe repair is home.

00:29:33.000 Yeah.

00:29:34.000 And that's how you're going to change Washington, because otherwise people go, they start loving it.

00:29:38.000 And then suddenly they're captured by the deep state.

00:29:42.000 So that's why in 2016, to bring this back around, when President Donald Trump

00:29:50.000 decided that he wanted to be the outsider, and he talked like the outsider,

00:29:54.000 changing Washington.

00:29:55.000 I was like, sign me up.

00:29:57.000 That's exactly the solution that we need.

00:30:00.000 He has revolutionized the power of putting regular people into Washington.

00:30:06.000 We got to keep finding those regular people, keep promoting them, and get Washington changed.

00:30:11.000 It's going to take a little while, but once they're there, then you can start cutting the bureaucracy.

00:30:17.000 Every time we have a new technology, The government should reflect that by getting rid of people.

00:30:24.000 Right?

00:30:24.000 The bank has always done that.

00:30:25.000 Yeah.

00:30:26.000 When you get new technology at the bank, you get rid of, you know, there are fewer tellers.

00:30:30.000 But that takes away government power and they're not dependent on that government paycheck and therefore... They'll never do it.

00:30:36.000 They'll never do it.

00:30:36.000 Yeah.

00:30:37.000 So we can't expect them to do it.

00:30:38.000 We can't ask Washington to reform itself.

00:30:41.000 They love big budgets.

00:30:42.000 They love big lobbyists and big war.

00:30:44.000 Yeah.

00:30:45.000 We have to send the people there that will do it.

00:30:48.000 Don't expect Washington to do it.

00:30:50.000 We have to do it.

00:30:51.000 Where would you start?

00:30:52.000 Congress.

00:30:53.000 Sending the right people in Congress.

00:30:56.000 Growing people that are truly outsiders.

00:30:59.000 Sending new people into the Senate.

00:31:01.000 And, you know, when President Trump wins, he's got to send people.

00:31:04.000 I once jokingly said to President Trump, it's going to be really easy to hire for the new administration.

00:31:10.000 Anyone who has a Washington, D.C. 0.97

00:31:12.000 address on their resume, throw it in the garbage. 0.61

00:31:14.000 Well, that's what I said.

00:31:15.000 They're like, what role would you want, Don?

00:31:17.000 I was like, I don't want a role.

00:31:18.000 Like, not even a little bit.

00:31:20.000 Like, well, what about transition?

00:31:21.000 You said that.

00:31:21.000 I was like, yeah.

00:31:22.000 So you want to put in people?

00:31:23.000 I go, no, no, no.

00:31:24.000 I don't want to put in a single person. 1.00

00:31:26.000 I just want to block the motherfuckers. 0.99

00:31:29.000 I just, I want to stop the guys that are going to be counterproductive to all of the things you're talking about. 0.99

00:31:34.000 That's all.

00:31:35.000 I just want to go veto power.

00:31:36.000 That's it.

00:31:36.000 Because I think stopping a bad guy from getting in, it's more important than even putting a good guy in, right?

00:31:41.000 Because the bad guys are the ones, you know, you think you're a grassroots guy, you know, you know, who's a BS artist.

00:31:47.000 Yeah.

00:31:48.000 So what do you expect from the speech tonight?

00:31:51.000 You know, if you look at Melania's letter, which I think is very similar to Nancy Reagan's letter and moment and her conversations and her actions after Ronald Reagan was shot, I think it's, I think everybody's a changed member of the family.

00:32:08.000 Everything's different.

00:32:08.000 Yeah.

00:32:09.000 Everything is different now. Yeah, well people are oh, well, we will your father never attack again. I was like, no, he's

00:32:14.000 gonna He'll attack back when it's night. I mean, that's not you

00:32:17.000 have to that's I mean these people would eat you alive if you didn't do those things, but

00:32:20.000 But you could still It doesn't always have to be engaged

00:32:25.000 You know, I saw it.

00:32:26.000 I don't know if you saw that clip.

00:32:27.000 I think we were texting it around one of our group threads or whatever.

00:32:30.000 You know, when the MSNBC guy attacks me.

00:32:32.000 Oh yeah.

00:32:33.000 Yeah, like five seconds before we're throwing my father over the line at the convention.

00:32:37.000 A big moment for my family.

00:32:38.000 Your dad put people in cages!

00:32:40.000 I'm like, you mean the Obama cages? 1.00

00:32:42.000 That Jacob guy, he's crazy. 1.00

00:32:44.000 They're insane. 1.00

00:32:45.000 I mean, he's either insane or too stupid to know the truth. 1.00

00:32:51.000 Why does Comcast allow these people on this? 1.00

00:32:53.000 It's Comcast.

00:32:54.000 I mean, it almost doesn't matter.

00:32:55.000 It's strange.

00:32:56.000 I'll get more views on a show like this than they do at this point.

00:32:59.000 So, I mean, they're sort of making themselves irrelevant and extinct, but that's fine.

00:33:05.000 It just can't happen soon enough, because it's nuts.

00:33:09.000 It's totally nuts.

00:33:09.000 They're advocates.

00:33:13.000 I think if you take the Nancy Reagan example, She became more protective of Ronald Reagan, but she also became more hostile to the political process.

00:33:24.000 She knew phonies. 1.00

00:33:25.000 She didn't want any phonies around. 0.99

00:33:27.000 She became more aggressive about saying, that's a political phony, get him out of here. 0.98

00:33:32.000 And people really were in awe of how much she started flexing.

00:33:36.000 So I think the family, the Trump family, the people who are loyalists to President Trump, are the ones now that are going to be a little louder about protecting President Trump and saying, These people are just too political and fake.

00:33:50.000 They're not equipped to run departments or agencies or the Secret Service.

00:33:56.000 We've got to be careful as to who we're putting in because they're just simply political types that aren't interested in reform, aren't interested in making Washington better.

00:34:05.000 They just want a job.

00:34:07.000 Yeah, no, I think that's right.

00:34:08.000 The next paycheck and whoever's going to get them the next paycheck or to what they'll sell you down the river in two seconds to get that next appointment or whatever it may be.

00:34:16.000 Talk a little bit about some of your efforts sort of on the side.

00:34:19.000 You're out there sort of doing some, you know, get out the vote type of stuff.

00:34:23.000 You're mobilizing people in places that they wouldn't otherwise be mobilized.

00:34:26.000 You know, by the first things like the text message I just got after the hey, I hope your dad's OK.

00:34:31.000 It was like, well, now that the election's in the bag, what are you going to do for the next four months?

00:34:34.000 I'm like, no, no, no.

00:34:38.000 Nothing's in the bag, nothing is won, nothing has changed.

00:34:44.000 The Democrats would show up with 10 billion ballots on November 6th and be like, it was the freest and fairest election ever.

00:34:51.000 It was an overwhelming victory.

00:34:53.000 We got 10 billion votes in a country of 330 million and they'd sell it and the media would go along with it and big tech would be like, how dare you?

00:34:58.000 And anyone who says, seems like I don't know, like 30 times the population of the country.

00:35:03.000 No, no, no, that's totally legit.

00:35:06.000 They would do that.

00:35:07.000 So what are some of those efforts?

00:35:08.000 How do people check that out?

00:35:09.000 Because again, I think the number one message we have to have for the next, what is it, 114 days, something like that?

00:35:15.000 Get to work.

00:35:16.000 Get to work.

00:35:16.000 Just be out there.

00:35:17.000 Absolutely.

00:35:18.000 So I always say that my Democratic friends are smart people.

00:35:24.000 They know they're losing.

00:35:24.000 So they're going to get more desperate.

00:35:27.000 They're not going to just go into the night and let us win.

00:35:31.000 Yeah.

00:35:31.000 They're going to do something.

00:35:32.000 So I'm doing a lot of work in the swing states.

00:35:35.000 Where's the primary focus for you there?

00:35:39.000 So we're doing Arab Americans in Detroit and Phoenix, two swing states of Michigan and Arizona.

00:35:49.000 We're trying to get the vote out with Serbs, which are a big part in Wisconsin.

00:35:54.000 We did a big Serbs for Trump event here this week.

00:35:58.000 We're working really hard to get the Albanians out. 1.00

00:36:01.000 Albanians are huge numbers in Detroit, so in that swing state,

00:36:05.000 and in Pittsburgh and Pennsylvania area.

00:36:12.000 We're really trying to register conservatives who are sitting on the sidelines.

00:36:17.000 I'm doing a lot of this in California, but we're moving into the swing states now to target people who are sitting on the sidelines digitally.

00:36:24.000 It's a digital operation.

00:36:26.000 It's the same operation that worked in Florida to move Florida from purple to hardcore red.

00:36:31.000 Same team.

00:36:32.000 And they're helping us now really get focused on finding these conservatives.

00:36:38.000 Doing a lot with the crypto community, getting them focused in terms of money and people.

00:36:45.000 The Libertarians have been a huge focus.

00:36:48.000 I led the team that helped get President Trump to the Libertarian Convention and thinking about those issues, talking to the Libertarians.

00:36:58.000 So we've got a lot of work to do.

00:36:59.000 I think we're going to continue doing that and the focus is on the six swing states.

00:37:04.000 Very nice.

00:37:06.000 How do you rank those six swing states?

00:37:08.000 What is the, what do you think, what's the lowest hanging fruit that you can, you can pull it off?

00:37:12.000 And you know, where does it get tougher?

00:37:14.000 I'm feeling pretty good about Nevada and Arizona, but we got to keep, we got to keep going.

00:37:19.000 I feel pretty good about Georgia.

00:37:21.000 So I'd say we really got to get one of the Pennsylvania, Michigan, Wisconsin.

00:37:26.000 And I feel like Wisconsin and Michigan are kind of, kind of go together.

00:37:31.000 One goes, the other goes.

00:37:32.000 They're, they're very similar.

00:37:34.000 And Pennsylvania is the big enchilada out of the swing states.

00:37:37.000 We gotta win Pennsylvania.

00:37:39.000 We have to have people understand that working class families are struggling when they go to the grocery store.

00:37:46.000 That's a simple message.

00:37:47.000 They look at filling up their gas tank.

00:37:50.000 It's dramatically different under Joe Biden.

00:37:53.000 These are simple issues that I think we win on when we remind people But the reason why things are costing a lot more is because Joe Biden doesn't have us drilling for energy, oil.

00:38:07.000 We're not doing liquid natural gas, LNG, like we should.

00:38:11.000 There's not a single terminal on the West Coast of America to be able to take our LNG supply and go into Asia to sell that.

00:38:19.000 We're missing huge opportunities.

00:38:21.000 Every single governor on the West Coast says no to an LNG terminal.

00:38:26.000 And so you know who did put an LNG terminal in?

00:38:29.000 Baja Mexico.

00:38:31.000 Because they said, look, if these Yankees up here won't do it, we're going to do it. 1.00

00:38:37.000 How many decisions are made like that where it's just abject stupidity? 1.00

00:38:46.000 Too many. 1.00

00:38:46.000 There's a lot. 1.00

00:38:47.000 We've got too many people who are all politics.

00:38:50.000 And that's why, you know, the Democrats, when I look at how they're going to just toss Joe Biden off after a primary, it's because they're political.

00:38:58.000 They're reading a poll, Don, and they're like, oh, you know what?

00:39:02.000 Let's dump this.

00:39:03.000 What's to say in the future when they have a primary again and the people pick that the elites don't come in and say, no, you didn't perform that well.

00:39:11.000 We're going to replace you.

00:39:12.000 It's like a veto power that they have over the people.

00:39:16.000 And yet they turn the whole thing around and say, you are undermining democracy.

00:39:21.000 They're doing to us, literally, the thing. 1.00

00:39:25.000 They're such hypocrites. 0.99

00:39:26.000 The things they're accusing us, they're doing. 0.98

00:39:28.000 We're just getting a live update from the New York Times that people close to Biden say he appears to accept he may have to leave the race.

00:39:36.000 Look how many, though, qualifiers are in there.

00:39:39.000 Appears.

00:39:40.000 He may have to.

00:39:42.000 Like, come on.

00:39:43.000 It appears that he may have to.

00:39:46.000 Yeah, so how much of this is like, are they just creating?

00:39:49.000 Go up a little.

00:39:49.000 I don't know who wrote that.

00:39:50.000 If Jill Biden doesn't want it.

00:39:51.000 Who wrote that?

00:39:53.000 Let's see who they... Oh, come on.

00:39:57.000 Peter Baker?

00:39:59.000 Peter Baker?

00:39:59.000 Whenever you see Peter Baker's name on anything, he's a hardcore left activist Democrat whose wife is also a phony journalist and pretending to be unbiased.

00:40:11.000 She's another complete left wing. 1.00

00:40:13.000 We've got to start labeling these people.

00:40:15.000 Yeah.

00:40:16.000 They don't know.

00:40:17.000 Katie Rogers, too, is like, she's been wrong more times than she's been right.

00:40:21.000 Newsmax is saying he's dropping out?

00:40:24.000 Like, today?

00:40:24.000 Alright, well, yeah.

00:40:30.000 Mark Halperin is pretty juiced, but I do have to say, you know, a lot of people are chasing this story, and I think that among political types, Yeah, top Dems say Biden will drop out maybe by the weekend.

00:40:44.000 I saw that story earlier.

00:40:46.000 I sort of felt like I saw that story three weeks ago.

00:40:48.000 And then I was like, no, I won't.

00:40:51.000 So, I mean, can they kind of will it into existence?

00:40:53.000 Yeah, that was a very good point.

00:40:56.000 You know, if they stop working on them and the fundraising stops, you know.

00:40:59.000 Yeah, they're all talking to each other.

00:41:00.000 I don't see Joe wanting to do it because with the Hunter stuff still sort of unknown and out there, will they just sort of give him a handshake guarantee like, hey, well, we'll pardon Hunter.

00:41:11.000 No, we won't.

00:41:12.000 We won't.

00:41:14.000 But, you know, another Democrat that takes over between now and then?

00:41:17.000 Or will he just stay in office until... I like your point.

00:41:20.000 They're going to try to will it into existence.

00:41:21.000 If he's not fit to... But the question is this, though.

00:41:24.000 If they do this, and they say he's not fit to run, and he went through a Democratic process, can he be fit to be president?

00:41:31.000 Of course not.

00:41:32.000 Well, but that's the point.

00:41:34.000 If he's not fit to run, how does he stay in for the next...

00:41:37.000 uh... you know five months because that six months as i go to do

00:41:41.000 late january uh... before there's a transition

00:41:45.000 how can a guy that's not capable of actually running the kid just replace

00:41:48.000 the guy that won all the democrat primary votes because we don't think he

00:41:50.000 can win anymore they got a whole place because of there's a problem

00:41:53.000 no it's it's outrageous it's elites uh... literally trying to make it manipulate the process 0.53

00:41:59.000 and it's people like peter baker

00:42:01.000 who are literally cheerleading and rather than saying wait a minute we had

00:42:05.000 a primary you chose this guy why are they so

00:42:09.000 willing it into existence Yeah.

00:42:12.000 Because it's their party, Don.

00:42:13.000 Yeah.

00:42:14.000 It's Peter Baker's party.

00:42:15.000 Peter Baker is so outraged that his party has a guy who's gonna lose, so they're working to try to will it into existence, rather than Peter Baker writing to say, why is The elites trying to undermine our democracy.

00:42:33.000 Joe Biden ran the Joe Biden of December 2023.

00:42:37.000 Very similar to the Joe Biden of July of 2024.

00:42:40.000 No one's going to tell me that suddenly the media woke up in July of 2024 to dementia.

00:42:47.000 Yeah, that does not make sense.

00:42:48.000 I mean, will there ever be accountability for the fact that they all knew?

00:42:51.000 Like, I wrote a book in 2020 about Joe Biden and his health and mental, you know, acuity or lack thereof.

00:42:57.000 It's like, it's not like people didn't know.

00:42:59.000 I'm not even, I don't do this.

00:43:00.000 I didn't spend any time with Joe Biden, but I saw him speak.

00:43:02.000 I was like, this is like, something's off.

00:43:03.000 It's gotten a lot worse.

00:43:05.000 But like the entire Democrat apparatus in the media weren't unwilling to like, come on.

00:43:10.000 Of course they saw it.

00:43:11.000 They chose to go with them anyway.

00:43:14.000 And so, look, my attitude is you should live with it.

00:43:17.000 You should live with your choices.

00:43:19.000 Life is about choices.

00:43:20.000 And I think there has to be some accountability.

00:43:22.000 Consequences.

00:43:22.000 Even if I was a Democrat voter, it's never going to happen these days, but if I was, don't they have to answer the Democrat voters at this point?

00:43:34.000 Yeah, of course they should.

00:43:35.000 Look, I actually think the Democratic voters are quite upset for trying to dump him.

00:43:41.000 They see this.

00:43:42.000 This is a bunch of elites trying to put their will on the rest of the people or pretend like the rest of the people don't matter.

00:43:49.000 It's outrageous.

00:43:50.000 I'm going to take two seconds to do a quick ad read.

00:43:52.000 Guys, gotta remember the guys at Birch Gold.

00:43:54.000 We gotta support the companies that support us.

00:43:57.000 That's a big deal. 0.93

00:43:58.000 It takes a lot, frankly, to support programming like this because we actually have real conversations and talk shit that needs to be said. 0.92

00:44:06.000 So protect your financial health and protect yourself from Biden inflation with the Birch Gold Group. 0.82

00:44:12.000 Our country is literally $34 trillion in debt, Biden inflation is only making it worse, and the Fed just keeps printing money.

00:44:19.000 That means your costs go up and your quality of life goes way down.

00:44:23.000 For over 20 years, Birch Gold Group has helped thousands of Americans protect their savings by converting an IRA or 401k into physical gold.

00:44:32.000 You can do that tax and then penalty free.

00:44:35.000 Also, that's a really big deal.

00:45:01.000 So, Rick, speaking of that, you know, we're talking about that sort of inflation.

00:45:04.000 I was with a bunch of reporters this week and many of them from, you know, I have cordial relationships with clearly from sort of hostile reporting.

00:45:11.000 And, you know, one of them may have been, you know, the Washington Post or New York Times or whatever it may be.

00:45:16.000 I won't name names, but the economic numbers are really good for Joe Biden.

00:45:21.000 They're moving in the right direction.

00:45:22.000 Is this the time when you're talking about $4.50 gas, and it came down to $4.49 gas?

00:45:28.000 And it's like, look, it's going in the right direction.

00:45:31.000 Because I literally was like, I'd argue that with you right now.

00:45:34.000 And what are they talking about?

00:45:37.000 What are they talking about?

00:45:39.000 Because if they're saying that, they're already going to start.

00:45:42.000 That's the next messaging, right?

00:45:44.000 That's what they're going to sell to the American people. 0.97

00:45:46.000 Don't believe your lying eyes. 0.72

00:45:48.000 You know, everything's cheaper now. 0.83

00:45:49.000 Inflation's gone.

00:45:50.000 It's amazing.

00:45:51.000 I think it's baked in.

00:45:52.000 I think they're going to have to spend a whole bunch of money, way more than what they have.

00:45:57.000 And they're going to have to get different messengers if they're going to try to convince

00:46:00.000 the American people that what they're paying to put in their gas tank is fine.

00:46:05.000 People see it.

00:46:07.000 I see it constantly.

00:46:08.000 I mean, people in my life are not super wealthy.

00:46:12.000 They're normal people.

00:46:13.000 And they complain about the grocery bill.

00:46:16.000 I complain about it.

00:46:17.000 And again, it doesn't change my habits.

00:46:19.000 Someone brought it up.

00:46:20.000 Actually, this same person brought it up to me.

00:46:24.000 She was like, you know, I saw you speak somewhere in Ohio, I think it was for Bernie Moreno.

00:46:29.000 And she was like, you know, I saw the audience when you talked about that McDonald's store.

00:46:33.000 I was like, oh, you mean the one where I paid $47 for like my son Spencer and my son Donny

00:46:37.000 and me to get McDonald's?

00:46:38.000 And I was like, that's crazy.

00:46:40.000 Like $47 for two, $99.

00:46:43.000 An 11 year old, a 14 year old, and me?

00:46:45.000 Like, if I was pissed off, and if I felt there was sticker shock, who doesn't?

00:46:50.000 And so everyone's sort of collective heads were like, yes.

00:46:53.000 And, you know, so...

00:46:54.000 Well, their strategy is they have to convince the American people that

00:46:58.000 that the McDonald's meal is fine, gas prices are fine, and that it's somehow Donald Trump's fault.

00:47:05.000 They can't do that.

00:47:06.000 They can't do that.

00:47:07.000 I think it's too late.

00:47:09.000 I think Kamala Harris will be the worst possible messenger for this. 1.00

00:47:13.000 She doesn't even know how to talk about Any subject.

00:47:16.000 Yeah.

00:47:17.000 She's never been vetted, so I say if they dump him, there'll be a couple of weeks of pretending like she's amazing, and then as soon as she starts doing a few interviews, she'll collapse.

00:47:29.000 Yeah.

00:47:30.000 No, it'll be interesting.

00:47:31.000 I'm looking forward to tonight.

00:47:32.000 Hey guys, I just got some news.

00:47:34.000 Obviously because of the stuff this weekend, the security here is quite literally insane.

00:47:41.000 I mean, I think that's good.

00:47:42.000 It's not a bad thing.

00:47:43.000 But what happened is Hulk Hogan speaking, the incredible schedules, he literally got

00:47:47.000 tied up in traffic around the security perimeter.

00:47:49.000 He's going to be speaking shortly over there.

00:47:51.000 They want people in the rooms an hour beforehand and they got to go through it.

00:47:54.000 It's sort of a bit nuts.

00:47:56.000 He's unfortunately not going to make it.

00:47:59.000 But again, we're sort of in this.

00:48:00.000 Do I need to go shirtless and just like immediately be like the Hulk?

00:48:05.000 Rick Grinnell does Hulkamania.

00:48:08.000 I've been swimming a lot.

00:48:09.000 But they said he'd literally, you know, he'd come back on the show.

00:48:12.000 We'll have him on at a different time, frankly, where, you know, even if he came on now, we'd be so pressed for time.

00:48:17.000 We're not going to get much out of it.

00:48:18.000 I want to be able to go not just the political, I want to go back to the Ric Flair,

00:48:21.000 you know, comments and questions and the rivalries and some of the great WrestleMania stuff,

00:48:25.000 some of which we hosted at Atlantic City.

00:48:28.000 So again, guys, I want to make sure to check out our sponsors

00:48:32.000 text the number, text Don Jr.

00:48:35.000 to the number 989898 to protect yourself against Biden inflation with the Birch Gold Group.

00:48:40.000 Go check out the guys at twc.wellnethslashtriggered, like the name of the show, twc.healthslashtriggered.

00:48:49.000 Check out their emergency preparedness kits.

00:48:51.000 A lot of great stuff over there.

00:48:52.000 Support our sponsors because they support us and allow us to do this stuff.

00:48:55.000 So you guys are the best.
