00:02:37.000Just so we're clear, I mean, he's been campaigning for eight months.
00:02:40.000Remember the perpetual book tour that never seemed to end?
00:02:43.000It was, you know, very clear what was going on.
00:02:45.000But unfortunately for DeSantis, the party stands with Trump.
00:02:49.000At turning points, at TPUSA Action, I guess, this weekend, a whopping 85 percent, 85 percent of the attendees chose Trump in their straw poll.
00:03:02.000DeSantis finished in third with just 4 percent of the support.
00:03:05.000DeSantis didn't even bother showing up to TPUSA's event in his home state.
00:03:10.000And as a resident of that same state, I also wonder who's actually running the state because he has not been here.
00:04:18.000And the big difference is, in 2017, he was a businessman under tremendous assault
00:04:25.000From the FBI and the New York Times and the Washington Post, learning the trade.
00:04:29.000Now, he's had enough time to think it through.
00:04:32.000I think his first year will be astonishing, and I think people will be amazed how much he can get done, how big a team he can assemble.
00:04:41.000And frankly, barring some enormous change, he is the most likely person to be the next president of the United States, something only Grover Cleveland ever achieved, being president, losing, and coming back.
00:04:52.000Right now, the numbers are so overwhelming, Republicans ought to start focusing on how to beat Biden, because I think at a practical level, they have a nominee, and his name is Donald Trump.
00:05:41.000And again, how many people would have stood by Brett Kavanaugh in the Republican Party when it all went down the way it went down, even though it was nonsense?
00:06:09.000We've seen the flip-flops from everyone else running including the Republicans.
00:06:13.000We see no actual Republicans like on the ground like real people but like in the United States Senate there's a lot that think it's the number one issue.
00:06:21.000I've yet to meet one of them other than those senators.
00:06:25.000But Joe Biden is taking every step possible.
00:07:21.000Guys, that ain't gonna work out well for anyone.
00:07:26.000Donald Trump, of course, is the only guy that Republicans can trust to handle this because they know that he won't escalate and he'll actually deliver peace because he's done it.
00:07:37.000He's the guy that delivered peace deals in the Middle East when everyone said it couldn't happen.
00:07:42.000He's the guy that they said was doing it all wrong in North Korea by actually going and speaking with the head of North Korea.
00:07:49.000Because the losers in Washington DC, they talk and they're like academics.
00:07:56.000And in the case of North Korea, the people in charge had exactly done zero in the last 40 to 60 years.
00:08:03.000The other Republicans would rather enrich their friends at Raytheon and provoke a war.
00:08:09.000Ron DeSantis, for example, was called out by Tucker Carlson on Friday for the flip-flop that he did on Ukraine, where he very clearly kind of took the Trump-lite approach on Tucker's show when he was still on Fox.
00:08:20.000And two days later, after getting calls from probably Karl Rove and the Jeb Bush donors and Paul Ryan and the other billionaire oligarchs in America who pretend to be America first but are lying through their teeth, flip-flopped immediately and received quite a bit of criticism for it.
00:08:43.000But I guess the criticism that mattered to him was apparently that of
00:08:49.000The DC Swamp, which caused him to flip-flop from the original answer.
00:08:56.000Pretty much single-handedly of America's foreign policy.
00:08:59.000So with that in mind I have to ask you about Ukraine.
00:09:01.000So in the spring you described the war in Ukraine as a quote territorial dispute.
00:09:06.000You issued a statement saying it was a territorial dispute that was not central to America's national interest.
00:09:11.000There was an outcry over this and then pretty soon after you described you seem to change your view and describe Putin as a war criminal and say that it was central to America's foreign
00:09:22.000You know, this was a major theme in Iowa on Friday.
00:09:26.000Tucker tore Republicans apart for prioritizing Ukraine over the U.S.
00:09:34.000And what was really interesting about the DeSantis one, there were no standout moments despite going last and having watched what happened to all the others.
00:09:49.000Watching for eight hours other people make the same mistakes and then still not having a standout moment, not figuring out how to dunk on that, kind of says a lot.
00:09:59.000But I guess no one probably fared as badly as Mike Pence.
00:12:16.000They give to the super PAC, and then the political operatives of Washington
00:12:22.000I think it was the stat that said Jeff Rowe, who's running that super PAC, is taking 64% of that money raised, sending it to other entities owned by Jeff Rowe.
00:12:38.000It was only a couple of months ago that he was telling us that his last name is pronounced Winner, because remember when he couldn't remember which way his name was pronounced, or wouldn't clarify it for a reporter who asked?
00:13:18.000They're saying, they say at this campaign, even with the influencers and all the other people that are supposed to be in tune with what you were thinking, they call fake Jake Dapper a truth seeker?
00:13:31.000Look guys, as much as I like enjoying and enjoy exposing all of the rhinos, we should keep in mind that Ron's faltering campaign is effectively helping Democrats at this point.
00:13:45.000Even in Florida, I think my father's up by 30-something points.
00:13:48.000Every dollar spent in this Republican primary opposing Donald Trump is a dollar supporting Joe Biden's campaign.
00:13:58.000It's preventing us from putting together a get-out-to-vote operation to rival the ballot harvesting operation that the Democrats are going to do in full effect.
00:15:43.000It's like the opposite of the Nigerian email scam, right?
00:15:47.000The United States is sending emails to Mali.
00:15:53.000The incompetence knows no bounds, guys.
00:15:57.000The Times of London reports millions of emails, millions of emails, written by military staff at the Pentagon have been mistakenly sent to the West African government of Mali, a Russian ally, by the way, because of basic typing errors.
00:16:20.000I mean, you'd think that's kind of a big one, right?
00:16:23.000You're sending email of military leaders at DOC's tax information to an ally of Russia, who I'm sure would never weaponize that information, folks, right?
00:16:39.000The Pentagon email used by the military ends with the suffix .mil.
00:16:44.000But, leaving out the I, by mistake, the emails have been going to .ml, the domain used by Mali, a country that has been hit by terrorism and a civil war since 2012.
00:17:01.000Again, I'm sure no one there would use this information about millions of service members in a negative way.
00:17:14.000Just in case, just in case there's some bad actors in the world and in a place like that, maybe if we had competent people actually, like, learning how to fight wars rather than learning their pronouns.
00:17:28.000If we weren't constantly talking about somehow diversity making us a stronger fighting force, even though no one can credibly tell us why, rather maybe just get stronger.
00:19:49.000I had no idea that a lunatic leftist that could be a dude and a male swimmer into college transitioned in about two weeks and then win every single medal in the female NCAA could possibly be so left that they would support the domestic terror group Antifa.
00:21:00.000Have incredible physiological and biological advantages, pretend to change your gender, take on all of the women who worked their asses off for 20 years as collegiate swimmers, beat them all, set every record, and hey, you too can be a hero.
00:21:24.000Can't believe this is happening in our country, folks.
00:21:27.000Now, I'm going to take some questions probably at the end of this, but I'm going to play you also my remarks from the Turning Point Conference because we can talk and get into a little bit of detail on some of the other stuff.
00:21:38.000You know, when I speak generally, I give myself a couple bullet points.
00:21:42.000Sometimes I just go out there and usually wing it.
00:21:44.000But I think there's a couple important things that we've got to talk about.
00:21:47.000And so if you guys stick around for a little bit, I'll do some questions here.
00:21:50.000I'll also be back to do questions for my AMA on locals.
00:25:01.000I remember a time where cluster bombs were bad and we're not supposed to use them or send them anywhere, but just last week it seems like now it's all the rage.
00:25:20.000But if I'm pissed off when I go to the grocery store, think about that.
00:25:24.000Like, you know, I'm not supposed to notice, but if I do, imagine what that means to the average American family, what's going on right now.
00:26:15.000My guys, who I stayed in touch with, many of them just dear friends, they're like, hey dude, there's no way you would have gotten away with that.
00:26:59.000I mean, do you think that if I was videoing myself going 172 while smoking meth,
00:27:07.000I have a feeling, magically, CNN would find it to be relevant again.
00:27:10.000You know, you got a billion from China, millions from Ukraine for no-show jobs, money laundering for Russian oligarchs with ties to human trafficking, insect trafficking.
00:29:13.000He's going to be on my podcast this week, and we were talking about it, and I made two phone calls that were, you know, maybe somewhat political, just for them to look at, right?
00:29:21.000I don't get to, you know, lobby for the government while my father's in power.
00:29:25.000I would have been in Gitmo, as we say, and they tried to do that anyway.
00:29:31.000I thought that was an important environmental thing, so I just said, hey, you guys should look at this, because here's the other side of the story, and they canceled that, which could have been a fiasco and a disaster.
00:29:38.000The other was, I had met Tim Ballard in, like, 16, and he was telling me this story.
00:29:43.000And I'm like, you know it's a problem, but you don't realize the volume.
00:30:20.000That's where we are as a country today, where if Donald Trump says, hey, let's take care of the problem of child sex trafficking, all of a sudden, all of a sudden, that's not a problem.
00:31:04.000Frankly, they'd like to be loved by all of, you know, mainstream media because even the conservative side has gotten what we call rather soft.
00:31:51.000But it doesn't matter, because there's no consequence for failure.
00:31:57.000You get a promotion, just like there's no consequence if you're a leftist lying before Congress, or being Hunter and bringing Croak to the White House.
00:32:07.000In fact, if you lie to Congress, whether it's Strzok, Brennan, McCabe, all these guys, they get promotions!
00:32:18.000So they can lecture you about morality and decency after lying to the American people, abusing their power, their authority, and making a mockery of our federal law enforcement.
00:33:04.000Like, you're saying, I was not academically qualified.
00:33:08.000I was not particularly good at anything.
00:33:10.000I wasn't really bright, but I got into Harvard because of affirmative action.
00:33:15.000I go, don't you think you took, like, someone's spot who maybe actually deserved to be there?
00:33:23.000Like, I'm like, I'm waiting for, like, Ashton Kutcher to jump out of a cake and saying that I'm being punked because I'm like, she's making my argument.
00:33:33.000It's so nice when they don't even know that they're owning themselves.
00:33:37.000You saw a Trump-appointed judge down in Louisiana, Missouri, say that the Biden administration, and any administration, is not allowed to collude with big tech to influence an election.
00:33:51.000You saw that with the Hunter Biden laptop, where people lied and magically said it was Russian disinformation, and we've heard this before.
00:35:14.000It's so important because we're seeing the results of that now.
00:35:18.000As we get closer and closer to kind of crossing the Rubicon, becoming a socialist dictatorial regime, which it seems like we have when we have a weaponized FBI, when we have an FBI and a DOJ that would all concern mothers and parents, domestic terrorists, for going to a PTA meeting and being concerned about the indoctrination of our children.
00:35:39.000When you have an FBI that seems to miss every actual terrorist, you know, they're on the list, but, you know, they're woke, or they check a couple boxes, so we can't actually look at them, because somehow finding, like, bad guys would be, like, out-of-the-job description.
00:35:54.000Instead of doing that, they're going to focus on looking at Catholic churches, because you must be a real extremist.
00:37:22.000So we're going to have a crackhead banker.
00:37:27.000The crackheads are underrepresented in the banking sector in China.
00:37:33.000So we're going to hire one, give them a billion dollars just for diversity.
00:37:40.000I promise you, they are many things, but they're not stupid.
00:37:44.000And yet, no one even asked the question, no one asked the question, are we making decisions that could take us further into World War III because of stuff that maybe someone else has that we haven't even seen yet?
00:42:27.000To go after and do it, but not just him, they tried to do it to me, they tried to do it to our family, they continue to try to do it to our businesses, whatever it may be, and that's fine.
00:42:34.000But that's why the Uni Party is so against it, because that hurts their power, their ability to make decisions that benefit them and screw you and your families.
00:42:46.000They've been doing it for decades, but now it's been exposed.
00:42:50.000And there's only one guy, folks, we've seen it.
00:44:37.000It takes guts to support a show like this so I want to make sure to take the time to tell you about Gold Co.
00:44:43.000and the importance of diversification.
00:44:45.000It's looking like 2008 all over again when millions of Americans watched their retirement savings disappear so I want you to be prepared and owning tangible physical inflation hedging gold and silver can help diversify your portfolio and Gold Co.
00:45:20.000That's d-o-n-j-r-gold.com to learn more.

00:46:19.000That's an incredible cause and a noble one and they did it despite the criticism and now you have a conservative school board in their district.

00:47:09.000So now with that, I'm going to go to some of the live chat.
00:47:14.000Sometimes it goes too quick if everyone's typing at the same time, but...
00:47:54.000I know people that know him that like him, but I don't know where he was in 15 or 16 or before that.
00:48:00.000But man, if I just listen to the words that are coming out of his mouth, I don't know that there's... Maybe he believes it, maybe he doesn't.
00:48:07.000Again, I don't know, because I don't know him.
00:48:09.000But man, he's saying the right things.
00:48:12.000He's, you know, of the other candidates that are up there that I've seen outside of Trump, obviously, he's the only one actually saying the stuff that I think aligns with a lot of what you guys are thinking.
00:51:52.000That means we let them in and by obligation, because they're now a NANO member and are under attack, it's our obligation then to immediately be at war with Russia.
00:53:30.000Yeah, because it's, you know... I don't know that we've lost the ag land, but we've lost the farms in the sense that we've lost the sort of the mom-and-pop farms, right?
00:53:37.000I mean, I'm obviously not a farmer, but I spend a lot of time on the political trail, and I also am a hunter, and so I end up in ag country a lot.
00:53:46.000And, you know, farmers and hunters don't even often align all that much.
00:53:48.000They're sort of... Farmers are too busy doing what they do.
00:53:50.000The game's usually a nuisance for them.
00:53:52.000But you spend time in that part of the world, you talk to enough guys, and you see what's going on, and yeah.
00:53:57.000You know, can't transfer the family farm.
00:54:00.000You can't compete against, you know, you have a 5,000 acre farm.
00:54:03.000You're trying to compete against the guy that's aggregated, you know, not the guy, but the large corporation that's aggregated 700,000 acres of land and they control everything and they can throw this and they can get cheaper shipping and cheaper parts and cheaper, like, they're definitely,
00:54:20.000There's definitely an attack on sort of the American family farmer, you know, from the big corporations.
00:54:26.000And anything that goes big corporation gets a little bit scary.
00:54:35.000A journeyman actor from Ukraine doesn't have the houses that he has, and God knows what else he's stolen out of this stuff for the last, you know, two years.
00:54:43.000It seems like he was pretty rich from whatever, but that's what we're doing.
00:54:47.000I mean, you know, $130 billion from us that we know of.
00:54:53.000You know, there was the other $6 billion last week that they, oh, you know, accounting error.
00:54:56.000We're just gonna have to give it to Ukraine.
00:54:57.000I guess it breaks that way, shockingly.
00:55:00.000You know, I'm sure a big portion of that 220 billion that I talked about that the Pentagon lost, I'm sure that's going to Ukraine de facto.
00:55:06.000And I'm sure most, you know, a good majority of that's being pilfered, creating the next class of Ukrainian oligarchs.
00:55:13.000So, you know, that's gone on, that's happened.
00:55:32.000You know, I was always pretty conservative, even if I grew up in New York City, but always, obviously, with sort of my hobbies and passions than the Second Amendment and sort of just, you know, a lot of the sort of Reagan policies like those were.
00:56:11.000I like doing the parts that most of the Republicans are really bad at, like actually getting in that mix and fighting it, not just taking their shit.
00:56:17.000Bending over and saying I'm so sorry, please Please be nice to me at the Washington Post.
00:56:22.000I don't really care So but you got to want that day job and like I'm not sure I'm there yet I think I'd do it fine if you know, but but you got to want to deal with the nonsense I'm not sure I want to do that I would rather help 15 guys each cycle that actually want to go in DC and do that aspect of it But that could change.
00:56:40.000I mean you never know one day You could do it Your dad is a hero
00:57:14.000And, you know, you don't exactly get, you know, a liberal attorney general who has to sign off on your offering plan if you're going to build a building.
00:57:21.000Like, you know, you don't do that by being a super vocal conservative.
00:58:18.000He's the, you know, the hero of The Sound of Freedom.
00:58:22.000I met him in, I guess it was 2016, I think.
00:58:26.000We were out in Utah, we had some mutual friends, and he's telling me this story.
00:58:29.000Listen, I don't get the Hunter Biden treatment, right?
00:58:31.000I don't get involved in policy or whatever it was.
00:58:33.000You know, my dad may ask me an opinion, but I, you know, I wasn't out there, you know, actively involved, only because I know it would be different, right?
00:58:41.000They'd have a problem if it seemed like I was doing anything, even though I wasn't making any money, obviously, doing that.
00:58:46.000Unlike Hunter, that would be a problem regardless.
00:58:50.000But the two times I actually got involved, one was on the Pebble Mine, which was a mine up at the top of Bristol Bay.
00:58:56.000It was going to be taken over by a Canadian company that had never actually done this kind of mining, and basically you could have lost the entire Alaska fishery.
00:59:04.000And I just said, hey, listen, look at the details here.
00:59:09.000I'm very pro all of the things that this was the one that may be an exception.
00:59:12.000And so, you know, I'm sure if people say that makes me a lib, but like that was just not worth the risk, especially for a Canadian company that was going to reap most of the benefits.
00:59:22.000Um, I got involved in that and after talking with Tim Ballard, I called my father and was like, you guys got to meet this guy.
00:59:29.000Uh, you know, he's Homeland Security, he's this, he's, you know, because you think of it like, you know, I was like, oh yeah, it's a problem, it happened, you know, it's, it's a disaster, obviously, but like, you know, you're like, you know, 10, 15 kids, like, no, no, no, like tens of thousands of kids all over the world, maybe, probably more.
00:59:44.000Uh, you know, I was like, I, you know, so he talked about it in a way that was just not like,
01:00:31.000And honestly, if you look at Democrat policy, it shouldn't surprise you.
01:00:34.000But, you know, I put those guys there, and now the movie comes out.
01:00:37.000I was like, hey, so Tim, again, the protagonist, the hero, the subject matter of the movie, who lived that story, and many others, is literally going to be on Triggered on Thursday.
01:00:51.000So make sure you pass that one around.
01:00:53.000Send it to your friends, because I think it's important for other people to know.
01:00:56.000I'm not naive to what goes on in the world, but I had no idea how big and bad the problem is.
01:01:01.000He's going to talk about the other organizations that he works with that do that stuff, where you can find them, where you can support them.
01:01:09.000Because again, it's not just watching a movie.
01:01:12.000It's like, go support these causes, because God knows Joe Biden's not going to do it.
01:02:55.000I imagine Joe Biden is implementing a lot of the things that Obama would have wanted to implement, but wasn't going to burn his legacy to do.
01:03:59.000And it's incredibly inefficient, and it's a losing strategy, which is why, again, I talk about investing in gold and silver, because there's some of these major funds.
01:04:51.000Kamala Harris could arguably be dumber, but the nice thing about Joe Biden, while they're pushing, he's so slow and so inept that it still probably takes longer.
01:05:07.000Perhaps actually believes some of this crap that the left is pushing.
01:05:12.000No one believes that Joe Biden actually thinks that this stuff is
01:05:15.000Really, you know, 80-year-old Irish dude that, like, you know, not exactly a stellar record on race and other relations over his history, but it doesn't matter.
01:05:22.000You can get away with that if you're a Democrat because you have the full force and strength of the mainstream media, big tech, big social, etc.
01:05:37.000Like, we text back and forth all the time.
01:05:39.000We've been trying to do it for a while and just haven't had it happen yet, but, like, one of the coolest things in 2020
01:05:46.000Ted actually traveled with me and Cam Haynes.
01:05:49.000We did like a bunch of tours around Michigan and Montana and like you know sort of hunting areas and we were talking about hunting and it was really cool because Ted just literally brought his guitar he'd speak and or Cam Haynes would speak that Ted would speak and then that I'd go up to speak and like
01:06:05.000Ted Nugent would literally play Stranglehold or like Fred Bear as my, you know, opening walk-on music, but live, and it was just awesome.
01:06:16.000Like, I got to do a lot of cool stuff, see some amazing people.
01:06:23.000Yeah, we've hunted down in Texas a bunch and had a good time down there, and he's super fun in camp.
01:06:30.000uh as well uh but yeah so it was awesome you know Stranglehold was literally my like opening like walkout song it's just one of the best sort of guitar riffs in rock and roll uh history uh just awesome stuff but like Ted's there playing it live and I'm like oh my god I'm looking at Nugent just like playing live like him and a speaker and like an amp uh and a guitar it was just it was epic so we're good buddies uh but we have not yet uh shared a campfire which is crazy because we talk about it all the time I mean it's it's sort of both of our
01:07:07.000Yeah, dude, he's so good at, like, just, you know, legendary guitarists, but also you hear his stories and, like, some of the famous, like, sort of rhythm and blues guys and R&B guys, like, he opened for some of the most legendary people.
01:07:20.000Ted's, like, you know, he's in his 70s, like, you wouldn't even, you wouldn't think it, like, that guy's a high-energy dude, but, you know, man, his history going back and sort of Detroit rock and roll and other genres of music is,
01:07:53.000Alive, he's got to be one of the best.
01:07:56.000Obviously, there's some great guys before that.
01:07:57.000You look at some of his history, man, there's a lot of stuff that people didn't realize, like, of what he did and who he played with and stuff like that.
01:09:10.000Yeah, sort of, you know, rabid communist, but definitely, definitely up there.
01:09:16.000I mean, Pink Floyd's probably one of my favorite bands of all time.
01:09:18.000So, yeah, David Gilmour would be up there.
01:09:22.000And, you know, I like that, sort of like that music, perhaps more than the Hendrix, but that doesn't take away from Hendrix as a guitarist.
01:09:31.000I just, you know, so, yeah, I mean, I think Hendrix is still probably
01:10:53.000And I can't imagine my father would do that.
01:10:55.000And I imagine it wouldn't stick around either, because, you know, if you actually hold someone like that to task, you know, you'd see that it's all probably bullshit.
01:11:04.000But, you know, that's just my opinion.
01:11:22.000I think it would be allowed except for the fact that we both live in the same state.
01:11:25.000There's like a I think it's like 12th amendment issue or something like that where you have to be from separate states.
01:11:29.000So, you know, and then there's the whole sort of political strategy side of things which is like you do the you know, if you
01:11:39.000When you're running, sometimes you need someone who actually can bring, you know, try to bring in a state for you or something like that.
01:11:45.000You know, it's sort of like the Democrats, like, let's find the person who checks the most boxes and we can pretend there are all sorts of things to be all things to all people, a la Kamala Harris.
01:11:55.000It's a little different with the Republicans, but you probably, probably don't need two Trumps.
01:12:32.000I know of dozens, and I'm sure there's people that go directly for that one.
01:12:38.000But yeah, it's sort of amazing that a lot of people have done that.
01:12:44.000Literally, they will send us one that has Joe Biden's signature whited out to see if my father would sign it for them.
01:12:51.000It's probably like the great compliment, but one of the best we could actually receive.
01:12:57.000Especially with what's going on in today's military, because, man, it's scary.
01:13:01.000And you see the guys that are actually doing the work, the real door kickers, and the fighter pilots, and the operators, and it's like, they see it, and it's just... When you see guys like that, and you're like, man, they're coming up to me, and they're telling me, like, hey, man, I'd never let my kid do that stuff again.
01:13:33.000His military honors are signed by Biden.
01:13:35.000Yeah, like I said, a lot of guys are doing that like one day earlier or later or whatever it was or, you know, by the time sort of the paperwork got there, it was late.
01:13:42.000So we've had guys just send them to him to sign.
01:13:57.000I actually agreed with the Pence pick in 2016 because, you know, I think you needed a calming force for people that didn't understand Trump or whatever it was.
01:14:15.000Can put up with the onslaught, people that, you know, how many people can, like I said in the speech, how many people can take what Trump takes?
01:14:23.000The answer in the Republican side is no one can actually deal with that other than Trump, right?
01:14:28.000You know, and whoever it is, you know, once you get in that spotlight, whoever else, like, that's why the Democrats win, because the Republicans always fold.
01:14:38.000You know, they think they can handle it until it's actually on them, and then it's different.
01:16:18.000I have a feeling that's actually, so yeah, probably not going to happen, guys, unfortunately.
01:16:25.000What are we doing to stop the steal in 2024?
01:16:27.000Listen, again, you don't have COVID to be weaponized.
01:16:29.000I'm sure they'll come up with something, but that's what I always say all the time.
01:16:33.000To do those things, to set up the ballot harvesting operation, to get out the vote, to find those unaffiliated voters, to do that takes money.
01:16:41.000And that's all getting blown in a primary.
01:16:43.000Chris Christie's polling at 1% and he's going to raise millions from people who hate Trump so that he can yell at Trump for a couple months and get a contributing role and see NBC as the token conservative and all that stuff.
01:16:57.000That money is money that could be spent trying to actually win an election.
01:17:02.000But it's not, because it's vanity projects for these guys and for the never-Trumpers who are not America First, who are not MAGA, who could care less, and they want to go back to the old ways.
01:17:21.000Don, is President Trump worried at all about the phony indictment?
01:17:24.000I mean, you have to take it seriously.
01:17:27.000You know, they want to put him in jail for 450 years.
01:17:31.000I think it's all bullshit, but that hasn't stopped them, right?
01:17:34.000You're telling me Russia, Russia was bullshit, and that was the gospel for years, right?
01:17:38.000If you question Wuhan lab leak theory, you were thrown out of academia and medicine, even if you were a doctor, and even if you happen to be right.
01:19:27.000I mean, we're on the brink of World War III with these idiots, and, you know, we've been fighting a proxy war, and it turns out we have boots on the ground, and now he's mobilizing reserves.
01:20:16.000Stop giving the companies that hate your guts your money.
01:20:22.000I mean, we're actually, by the way, we're taking, you know, Public Square.
01:20:25.000You guys have seen me talk about that.
01:20:26.000You've had Michael Seifert on here a couple times, a show a couple weeks ago.
01:20:29.000We're taking them public on the New York Stock Exchange on Thursday.
01:20:34.000That allows others to invest in sort of that patriot economy.
01:20:37.000And we also have controls in there that it means it can't be taken over by the woke leftists that have taken over the rest of corporate America.
01:21:02.000I mean, you know, politics is a big part of what we do, and then we both have shows, and a lot of that's going to be kind of, that's kind of political, so we're sort of always talking and chatting about it, but like,
01:21:10.000No, there's a lot more and I take my fun stuff and my hunting and fishing and kids and stuff like that pretty seriously as well.
01:21:17.000So I try to separate it out when I'm doing that, if I can.
01:21:20.000But, you know, these days in a perpetual news cycle and with everything else going on, it's not always so easy to separate it out.
01:21:30.000I'm going to try to do the best I can basically until, you know, November, December, when you get sort of into full primary mode, because then, you know, I'll be working
01:21:39.000I guess every day for the next 14 months, next year.
01:21:46.000Once we get going with that, unfortunately for me, it's just brutal.
01:21:51.000October 2020, just so we understand, I did 104 rallies in the month of October.
01:21:57.000So four major rallies a day for the entire month.
01:22:56.000How do you guys like this format, by the way?
01:22:58.000It's actually, frankly, easier for me in many cases because I don't have to corral someone who could miss a flight or whatever it is for the show.
01:23:09.000How do you like this format of just going through the questions, maybe doing the news of the week and then doing that?
01:24:11.000You must have good questions, because I sort of pick them out, you know, because some of them are hard to decipher or not sure what they mean.
01:24:18.000So, okay, we'll do this a little bit more often.
01:24:20.000So, now, I'm going to sign out here, guys.
01:25:10.000They'll teach you, tell you what you need to learn to protect your retirement savings, to diversify your portfolio.
01:25:18.000When you're looking at what's going on right now, it makes a lot of sense.

01:25:27.000If you want to get your cell phone plan away from a company who is literally taking your hard-earned money and giving it to the radical lunatics and the communists and the pieces of garbage that we hate and we talk about on this show every day, like, you could do the opposite.
