Triggered - Donald Trump Jr - KARI LAKE IS UNAFRAID: Why Donald Trump is Dominating, Plus Panic Inside Team DeSantis and Tucker's Pence Takedown plus Live Q&A | TRIGGERED Ep.51

00:00:00.000 Good evening, guys.

00:00:00.000 Welcome to another episode of Triggered.

00:00:04.000 Now we're switching things up a bit.

00:00:06.000 I didn't mean to get you this way, but we were going to be joined by Carrie Lake today.

00:00:13.000 I'm spending all day with her in North Florida.

00:00:15.000 Tomorrow we're going to be at the Villages.

00:00:17.000 We're doing events.

00:00:18.000 I'm publishing her book, and she got into some plane issues, I guess, in the Carolinas.

00:00:23.000 She wasn't able to get here in time, so she can't join us.

00:00:26.000 I'll be with her tomorrow.

00:00:27.000 Maybe we'll record something then and post it at a

00:00:30.000 Another day.

00:00:31.000 But with the last-minute travel issues, unfortunately, it happens and it's seemingly happening a lot.

00:00:38.000 So we're gonna have a little fun tonight.

00:00:40.000 I'm gonna sort of ad lib it a little bit.

00:00:42.000 We'll go through the news of the week like we always do.

00:00:45.000 And again, we'll have Kerry back on soon.

00:00:46.000 But make sure to like, subscribe, check it out.

00:00:50.000 And again,

00:00:51.000 Folks, the show must go on, but there is a lot to talk about.

00:00:55.000 And maybe what I'll also do is I'll look at the live chat.

00:00:58.000 I'll look down at some of the comments.

00:01:01.000 Maybe we'll talk about that.

00:01:02.000 I also gave a speech yesterday at Turning Point.

00:01:05.000 Maybe we'll play that.

00:01:07.000 So I'm going to have a little bit of fun.

00:01:10.000 I'm going to be listening to you guys as well.

00:01:13.000 And to start, I want to mention that

00:01:16.000 Carrie was in Iowa.

00:01:18.000 That's why I really would have loved to actually hear her talk about some of this stuff today.

00:01:24.000 But again, we'll do it soon.

00:01:26.000 But she was in Iowa this past weekend campaigning for my father at a restaurant, you're gonna love this, aptly titled The Mad Meatball.

00:01:38.000 I think all of you understand that reference, probably.

00:01:40.000 But take a look at the crowd that Carrie Lake is able to draw. 0.99

00:01:45.000 She actually drew a substantially larger audience in Iowa than Ron DeSantis, who's actually running.

00:01:52.000 I mean, a surrogate outperforming the candidates.

00:01:56.000 That's pretty amazing.

00:01:57.000 But of course she did.

00:01:59.000 DeSantis doesn't have the energy to be out there.

00:02:02.000 He's got the energy of an NPR drive-time radio host.

00:02:06.000 He actually even admits that.

00:02:08.000 He's only drawing 30 to 40 people at this event.

00:02:11.000 Check it out in his own words.

00:02:12.000 It's sort of shocking, actually.

00:02:19.000 What do you think?

00:02:37.000 Just so we're clear, I mean, he's been campaigning for eight months.

00:02:40.000 Remember the perpetual book tour that never seemed to end?

00:02:43.000 It was, you know, very clear what was going on.

00:02:45.000 But unfortunately for DeSantis, the party stands with Trump.

00:02:49.000 At turning points, at TPUSA Action, I guess, this weekend, a whopping 85 percent, 85 percent of the attendees chose Trump in their straw poll.

00:03:02.000 DeSantis finished in third with just 4 percent of the support.

00:03:05.000 DeSantis didn't even bother showing up to TPUSA's event in his home state.

00:03:10.000 And as a resident of that same state, I also wonder who's actually running the state because he has not been here.

00:03:16.000 Asa Hutchinson actually showed up.

00:03:21.000 Vivek Ramaswamy showed up.

00:03:23.000 A bunch of them. 0.98

00:03:24.000 Asa had the balls to do that after Tucker murdered him on Friday. 0.99

00:03:28.000 He's recovering nicely, folks. 0.98

00:03:30.000 After that, I remember seeing that one.

00:03:32.000 I was like, somebody call 911.

00:03:33.000 I'd like to report a murder.

00:03:36.000 But he showed up because that's what you got to do, especially in your home state.

00:03:41.000 But I guess, you know, the establishment folks and billionaire donors feel he could be better suited elsewhere, probably.

00:03:49.000 So who knows?

00:03:50.000 I think that'll work out great.

00:03:52.000 Republicans are 100% unified as far as I'm concerned, guys.

00:03:55.000 The vast majority agree that it's time to take on Joe Biden with Donald Trump as our nominee.

00:04:02.000 Here's Newt Gingrich actually laying out the facts.

00:04:06.000 Trump make his case?

00:04:09.000 Yeah, I think more than anybody I can imagine.

00:04:12.000 He's knowledgeable.

00:04:13.000 It's things he actually did.

00:04:16.000 He's not talking from note cards.

00:04:18.000 And the big difference is, in 2017, he was a businessman under tremendous assault

00:04:25.000 From the FBI and the New York Times and the Washington Post, learning the trade.

00:04:29.000 Now, he's had enough time to think it through.

00:04:32.000 I 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.

00:04:41.000 And 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.

00:04:52.000 Right 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.

00:05:04.000 Newt, great to see you.

00:05:05.000 Thanks so much.

00:05:06.000 Newt Gingrich, that'll do it for us on Sunday Morning Future.

00:05:09.000 Guys, my father is ahead for many reasons.

00:05:11.000 He kept his promises as president, and he delivered for conservatives.

00:05:15.000 I mean, just look at the last week.

00:05:17.000 Again, if I air the speech, because we have that sort of queued up, you'll hear about that.

00:05:21.000 But obviously the affirmative action votes, the, you know, no government collusion with big tech stuff.

00:05:26.000 I mean, these are all because of Trump judges.

00:05:29.000 Guess what?

00:05:30.000 Other conservatives wouldn't have given you that, right?

00:05:32.000 Republicans elected Sandra Day O'Connor.

00:05:35.000 You know, they put up liberals in the past.

00:05:39.000 So those aren't guarantees.

00:05:40.000 Trump did that.

00:05:41.000 And 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?

00:05:48.000 Exactly zero.

00:05:50.000 So we're getting wins.

00:05:52.000 There's no more NAFTA, lower taxes, no new wars, and originalists on the Supreme Court.

00:05:59.000 And another reason Trump is ahead?

00:06:01.000 It's that voters and MAGA are unified when it comes to the Ukraine war.

00:06:07.000 And honestly, guys,

00:06:09.000 We've seen the flip-flops from everyone else running including the Republicans.

00:06:13.000 We 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.

00:06:21.000 I've yet to meet one of them other than those senators.

00:06:25.000 But Joe Biden is taking every step possible.

00:06:30.000 To provoke a nuclear war?

00:06:32.000 That would kill us all. 0.93

00:06:33.000 I mean, you know, Russia's got 6,000 nuclear weapons led by a maniac. 0.71

00:06:38.000 Like, what could go wrong if you take that guy's, take him to the last straw?

00:06:43.000 What could possibly go wrong, folks?

00:06:44.000 What do you think?

00:06:46.000 Just last week, Joe Biden activated Army Reservists to be deployed in Europe in the event of war with Russia.

00:06:57.000 So who do Republicans actually trust to handle this?

00:07:00.000 Certainly not Joe Biden.

00:07:02.000 I mean, Joe Biden has a challenge getting up a flight of stairs.

00:07:06.000 He can't get off the stage that he's speaking on despite having handlers almost every time.

00:07:14.000 And yet he's going to be leading us in a war?

00:07:17.000 I mean, seriously?

00:07:21.000 Guys, that ain't gonna work out well for anyone.

00:07:26.000 Donald 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.

00:07:37.000 He's the guy that delivered peace deals in the Middle East when everyone said it couldn't happen.

00:07:42.000 He'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.

00:07:49.000 Because the losers in Washington DC, they talk and they're like academics. 0.66

00:07:55.000 They've never actually done anything. 0.93

00:07:56.000 And in the case of North Korea, the people in charge had exactly done zero in the last 40 to 60 years.

00:08:03.000 The other Republicans would rather enrich their friends at Raytheon and provoke a war.

00:08:09.000 Ron 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.

00:08:20.000 And 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.

00:08:43.000 But I guess the criticism that mattered to him was apparently that of

00:08:49.000 The DC Swamp, which caused him to flip-flop from the original answer.

00:08:54.000 Check it out.

00:08:56.000 Pretty much single-handedly of America's foreign policy.

00:08:59.000 So with that in mind I have to ask you about Ukraine.

00:09:01.000 So in the spring you described the war in Ukraine as a quote territorial dispute.

00:09:06.000 You issued a statement saying it was a territorial dispute that was not central to America's national interest.

00:09:11.000 There 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

00:09:22.000 You know, this was a major theme in Iowa on Friday.

00:09:26.000 Tucker tore Republicans apart for prioritizing Ukraine over the U.S.

00:09:32.000 That was a consistent theme.

00:09:34.000 And 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.

00:09:41.000 And that's the difference, folks.

00:09:42.000 Someone who couldn't figure that out and still couldn't

00:09:47.000 Own the moment.

00:09:49.000 Watching 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.

00:09:59.000 But I guess no one probably fared as badly as Mike Pence.

00:10:06.000 You almost feel bad for the guy.

00:10:08.000 This is crazy.

00:10:09.000 Check this one out.

00:10:12.000 January, we'll let somebody transfer some jets.

00:10:15.000 I'm sorry, Mr. Vice President.

00:10:16.000 I know you're running for president.

00:10:19.000 You are distressed that the Ukrainians don't have enough American tanks.

00:10:25.000 Every city in the United States has become much worse over the past three years.

00:10:30.000 Drive around.

00:10:31.000 There's not one city that's gotten better in the United States.

00:10:35.000 And it's visible.

00:10:36.000 Our economy has degraded.

00:10:38.000 The suicide rate has jumped.

00:10:40.000 Public filth and disorder and crime have

00:10:42.000 Well it's not my concern.

00:10:44.000 Tucker, I've heard that routine from you before, but that's not my concern.

00:10:48.000 I'm running for President of the United States because I think this country's in a lot of trouble.

00:11:10.000 I think Joe Biden has weakened America at home and abroad.

00:11:16.000 Seems I guess Pence's camp is now trying to spin claiming that he didn't say that the US isn't his concern, but I mean, I don't know.

00:11:24.000 You just saw him say that and again.

00:11:27.000 If it was somehow a blunder, seems kind of like a big one when you're running for president.

00:11:34.000 But again, I think everyone knows what they just heard.

00:11:37.000 Maybe Pence has some sort of fetish about getting humiliated on a stage like that, because it's brutal.

00:11:43.000 I mean, I don't even know how you can run for that kind of office and make a mistake like that.

00:11:48.000 It's not clear why he's running at this point.

00:11:50.000 And the same can be said, probably, about Ron DeSantis.

00:11:53.000 He's getting headlines like this right now.

00:11:56.000 Over the weekend, Ron DeSantis got a headline, "'DeSantis' Campaign Sheds Staff Amid Cash Crunch."

00:12:03.000 Because remember, folks, the billionaires have been funding it, right?

00:12:07.000 But I saw a stat that said just 17% of his donors were from small-dollar donors, meaning he's owned by the billionaires.

00:12:15.000 Those guys are doing it.

00:12:16.000 They give to the super PAC, and then the political operatives of Washington

00:12:22.000 I 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.

00:12:34.000 This is going to go great. 0.94

00:12:36.000 But it's getting a bit pathetic. 0.52

00:12:38.000 It 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? 0.78

00:12:50.000 Guess he doesn't know.

00:12:51.000 Now, in an attempt to create a viral moment, DeSantis is sitting down with none other than CNN's fake Jake Tapper.

00:13:01.000 His campaign called Tapper one of the biggest Russiagate liars, a truth seeker.

00:13:08.000 I mean, think about this.

00:13:09.000 Tapper, who's been out there

00:13:12.000 Pretending like Russia, Russia, Russia is still real. 0.97

00:13:14.000 Someone who called me out as one of the big bombshells.

00:13:17.000 All nonsense.

00:13:18.000 They'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?

00:13:31.000 Look 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.

00:13:45.000 Even in Florida, I think my father's up by 30-something points.

00:13:48.000 Every dollar spent in this Republican primary opposing Donald Trump is a dollar supporting Joe Biden's campaign.

00:13:58.000 It'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.

00:14:09.000 But again, you know what?

00:14:10.000 Honestly, if you're a establishment Republican, that's probably okay.

00:14:15.000 You don't want Trump mixing it up.

00:14:18.000 There's not really a consequence to losing in Washington, D.C.

00:14:22.000 if you're in the establishment.

00:14:23.000 I mean, sure, you lose the race, you don't have the presidency, but, like, we'll figure out another job for you.

00:14:30.000 We'll give you a role.

00:14:31.000 You'll get on a board seat.

00:14:33.000 We'll keep sending, you know, not our kids, but your kids to war so that we can make seven figures peddling influence.

00:14:43.000 That's D.C.

00:14:44.000 It's time for people to unite around Trump.

00:14:48.000 Stop wasting time.

00:14:50.000 Stop wasting money.

00:14:51.000 There are serious problems we actually have to deal with.

00:14:56.000 Our current president, Joe Biden, is busy biting on small children for some reason.

00:15:02.000 And, you know, we're on the brink of World War III.

00:15:04.000 You can't make this stuff up.

00:15:05.000 Check it out.

00:15:08.000 Guys, what the hell is going on there?

00:15:20.000 Meanwhile, here's another story from Biden's woke military.

00:15:25.000 You can't make this stuff up anymore, folks.

00:15:27.000 They wonder why the recruitment numbers are down, and I think we have an answer.

00:15:30.000 The Pentagon is so inept that they just sent millions of emails

00:15:36.000 To the African country, Mali. 0.97

00:15:39.000 By accident.

00:15:41.000 Seriously.

00:15:43.000 It's like the opposite of the Nigerian email scam, right?

00:15:47.000 The United States is sending emails to Mali.

00:15:53.000 The incompetence knows no bounds, guys.

00:15:57.000 The 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.

00:16:20.000 I mean, you'd think that's kind of a big one, right?

00:16:23.000 You'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?

00:16:35.000 They would never do that.

00:16:39.000 The Pentagon email used by the military ends with the suffix .mil.

00:16:44.000 But, 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.

00:17:01.000 Again, I'm sure no one there would use this information about millions of service members in a negative way.

00:17:09.000 I'm sure that would never happen.

00:17:12.000 But...

00:17:14.000 Just 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.

00:17:28.000 If 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.

00:17:39.000 Get better at shooting. 0.96

00:17:41.000 Train to do those things rather than the PC woke bullshit. 0.99

00:17:47.000 Maybe that would be better off. 0.99

00:17:49.000 Now thankfully...

00:17:50.000 Thankfully, none of the misdirected emails included classified intelligence.

00:17:57.000 That we know of because I'm sure they'd tell us also, right?

00:18:00.000 But, sensitive information including the itinerary of General James McConville, the U.S.

00:18:07.000 Army Chief of Staff, before a trip to Indonesia this year.

00:18:12.000 The emails have also included the medical and tax records of personnel, maps of installations, and photos of bases.

00:18:19.000 Again,

00:18:20.000 I'm sure no one would do anything.

00:18:22.000 Give me a break.

00:18:25.000 We're doing great, guys.

00:18:27.000 Just awesome.

00:18:28.000 This is what Democrat incompetence gets you.

00:18:31.000 This is what woke leadership gets you.

00:18:34.000 It gets you nothing. 1.00

00:18:36.000 It gets you stupidity. 1.00

00:18:37.000 It gets you endless mistakes because there's no focus on an actual task. 1.00

00:18:43.000 It's just virtue signaling.

00:18:45.000 We trust these same people, by the way, with making sure that all of the weapons we're sending to Ukraine don't end up in the wrong hands.

00:18:55.000 You think the person that can't type an email out is probably going to do a great job of that?

00:19:01.000 You think they're going to stay in control?

00:19:03.000 You wonder why the $6 billion accounting errors seem to always go towards Ukraine.

00:19:09.000 Incompetence.

00:19:11.000 Finally, guys, in perhaps the wokest story of the week, we got another update from the land of far-left trans lunacy. 0.95

00:19:24.000 This headline from Breitbart reads, and I quote, transgender NCAA swimmer Leah Thomas.

00:19:31.000 You guys remember Leah.

00:19:33.000 I've talked about her, so we don't get canceled everywhere else, extensively.

00:19:42.000 Leah Thomas embraces domestic terror group Antifa.

00:19:47.000 Didn't see that coming, folks.

00:19:49.000 I 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. 0.88

00:20:09.000 I'm shocked. 0.86

00:20:11.000 Look at your screen, folks.

00:20:12.000 Here's Leah Thomas in a shirt that says, Antifa Super Soldier.

00:20:20.000 I mean, remember, this is a group that burned down cities, looting, rioting, billions in damage, murder.

00:20:28.000 So remember, guys, Leah Thomas, he, she, Antifa Super Soldier.

00:20:36.000 So if you're a young boy listening, the way to get embraced by the liberal media is simple, guys.

00:20:43.000 Go beat the girls in sports.

00:20:46.000 Embrace a terror group.

00:20:48.000 And you, too, will become a hero.

00:20:50.000 They'll parade you all over the place.

00:20:53.000 That's basically what they're telling us.

00:20:55.000 Not like, get really good at what you do, figure out what it is that you do best.

00:20:59.000 No, no, no.

00:21:00.000 Have 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.

00:21:24.000 Can't believe this is happening in our country, folks.

00:21:27.000 Now, 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.

00:21:38.000 You know, when I speak generally, I give myself a couple bullet points.

00:21:42.000 Sometimes I just go out there and usually wing it.

00:21:44.000 But I think there's a couple important things that we've got to talk about.

00:21:47.000 And so if you guys stick around for a little bit, I'll do some questions here.

00:21:50.000 I'll also be back to do questions for my AMA on locals.

00:21:55.000 So again, like, share, subscribe.

00:21:57.000 I think I speak for 15-20 minutes or whatever.

00:21:59.000 Check it out here and I'll be back and I'll take some questions from the live chat.

00:22:03.000 Have a good one, guys.

00:22:22.000 What's going on, Turning Point?

00:22:26.000 Ah!

00:22:28.000 So good to be here with you.

00:22:29.000 Kimberly, thank you very much.

00:22:33.000 Thank you.

00:22:35.000 Thank you.

00:22:35.000 I say, this is a slightly better welcome than what Asa, also known as Ada, got a few minutes ago.

00:22:42.000 No, no, no!

00:22:42.000 Listen!

00:22:44.000 Listen.

00:22:44.000 I was impressed.

00:22:46.000 He's made an incredible recovery since being murdered by Tucker Carlson on Friday.

00:22:53.000 It's good to see him here and recovering nicely.

00:22:57.000 Hey, I'll say this. 0.86

00:23:00.000 At least he had the balls to actually be here. 0.98

00:23:09.000 Unlike our absentee governor, who's been on a perpetual book tour. 0.96

00:23:14.000 So, guys, why are we here?

00:23:19.000 Because, well, true.

00:23:25.000 Guys, we're here because we've seen the disaster that is the Biden administration.

00:23:30.000 We've seen the disaster that is Democrat policy.

00:23:33.000 We see that we are literally at the closest point and brink of World War III since the Cuban Missile Crisis.

00:23:41.000 And no one cares.

00:23:43.000 The only, well,

00:23:46.000 Yeah.

00:23:47.000 You know what?

00:23:47.000 It's interesting.

00:23:48.000 I watched.

00:23:48.000 I saw Lindsey Graham last week say, it's the number one issue for Republicans.

00:23:52.000 I said, you know what's kind of weird?

00:23:53.000 I travel the entire country.

00:23:56.000 I have yet to meet a Republican outside of the United States Senate who actually thinks it's the number one issue.

00:24:03.000 Or even a top ten issue.

00:24:06.000 We can't finish our border wall, but we have a hundred and thirty plus billion dollars to send to defend Ukraine's border.

00:24:16.000 Now think about that.

00:24:17.000 What was it, like $3 billion left to finish ours?

00:24:19.000 $130 billion to Ukraine.

00:24:22.000 Now, that doesn't include the other $6 billion that just got lost last week.

00:24:27.000 Oh, there was an accounting error.

00:24:28.000 $6 billion more for Zelensky and his oligarch buddies to become billionaires.

00:24:33.000 Right?

00:24:33.000 That doesn't include the $220 billion that the Pentagon lost a couple months ago.

00:24:37.000 Remember that one?

00:24:39.000 It's strange.

00:24:41.000 The same government

00:24:43.000 That wants to audit your Venmo account if you spend more than $600.

00:24:48.000 Seems to be awfully quiet about losing $220 billion.

00:24:52.000 Like, you know, what's $220 billion between friends?

00:24:57.000 I remember a time.

00:25:01.000 I 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.

00:25:09.000 It's wonderful again.

00:25:12.000 Right?

00:25:13.000 Like, it's hard to believe. 0.78

00:25:15.000 We've seen the hypocrisy.

00:25:16.000 And guys, I get it.

00:25:17.000 Like, I understand where I come from.

00:25:19.000 I'm pretty self-aware.

00:25:20.000 But if I'm pissed off when I go to the grocery store, think about that.

00:25:24.000 Like, 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.

00:25:31.000 And this is what you get.

00:25:32.000 Right?

00:25:33.000 We're told Bytonomics is doing wonderful.

00:25:35.000 I don't know where.

00:25:36.000 I literally don't know a single person that's benefiting from any one of these policies, and yet they will continue.

00:25:44.000 Oh! 0.60

00:25:45.000 Thank you, sir, for giving me that opening.

00:25:53.000 Well, according to Twitter, it was mine.

00:25:56.000 Like, like, you have the world's most famous crackhead in residence.

00:26:03.000 And somehow it was mine, according to Twitter.

00:26:06.000 I haven't been there in like three years.

00:26:09.000 I mean, think about that.

00:26:11.000 I had a Secret Service detail.

00:26:13.000 I've been through all the security protocols.

00:26:15.000 I get it.

00:26:15.000 My 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.

00:26:22.000 I go, I know.

00:26:22.000 Luckily, I don't snort cocaine like it's not my thing.

00:26:27.000 But when I make fun of Hunter, then they go, oh, oh, Don, you're a terrible human being. 0.58

00:26:32.000 You're making fun of someone with addiction.

00:26:34.000 I go, wait a minute. 1.00

00:26:36.000 Like, addiction does not absolve you from being a piece of crap throughout every other aspect of your life! 1.00

00:26:45.000 No! 1.00

00:26:48.000 No!

00:26:51.000 I have a feeling that if it was the Don Jr.

00:26:53.000 laptop from hell, you all would have heard about it!

00:26:58.000 Right?

00:26:59.000 I mean, do you think that if I was videoing myself going 172 while smoking meth,

00:27:07.000 I have a feeling, magically, CNN would find it to be relevant again.

00:27:10.000 You 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.

00:27:22.000 No big deal.

00:27:23.000 It's Hunter.

00:27:23.000 It's fine.

00:27:25.000 It's totally fine.

00:27:26.000 10% for the big guy.

00:27:27.000 I have a feeling, if that was my text message, we'd be at, like, impeachment 37?

00:27:32.000 I don't know.

00:27:33.000 Like, where are we?

00:27:35.000 I can't keep track, it's too many.

00:27:37.000 It never ends, right?

00:27:40.000 And those are the people in power.

00:27:43.000 Those are the people deciding what happens to you, your children, your family's well-being.

00:27:50.000 Right?

00:27:50.000 They are the arbiters of decency, according to the media.

00:27:54.000 That piece of crap. 1.00

00:27:55.000 I mean, think about it. 1.00

00:27:59.000 Like, do you know?

00:28:00.000 Let's talk about this for a second.

00:28:03.000 Do you know what my father would have done to me if it was my laptop?

00:28:12.000 Yeah, my dad would have sent me to Gitmo!

00:28:15.000 You're right!

00:28:19.000 You know?

00:28:19.000 I think Hunter could have used some of that tough love from Joe, but it seems Joe only loves sniffing children and maybe Hunter's sister.

00:28:32.000 Where's the lie?

00:28:34.000 Again, another thing that if it was my family, it would be a problem, because I read about all the things that are supposedly problems. 0.99

00:28:39.000 They're all bullshit, just like everything else they started. 0.99

00:28:42.000 But it doesn't matter. 1.00

00:28:44.000 And that's where we are.

00:28:46.000 So, with Trump, you had peace.

00:28:51.000 Right?

00:28:51.000 Remember the CNN?

00:28:52.000 Well, who do you want to win?

00:28:54.000 I just want everyone to stop dying.

00:28:56.000 Like, at what other time in history was that not the right answer?

00:29:00.000 Or a reasonable answer?

00:29:03.000 And yet they lose their minds.

00:29:04.000 It's funny, I was having a conversation with Tim Ballard.

00:29:08.000 He's going to be on my podcast.

00:29:09.000 He's the subject matter.

00:29:13.000 He'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?

00:29:21.000 I don't get to, you know, lobby for the government while my father's in power.

00:29:25.000 I would have been in Gitmo, as we say, and they tried to do that anyway.

00:29:30.000 One was for, like, the Pebble Mine.

00:29:31.000 I 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.

00:29:38.000 The other was, I had met Tim Ballard in, like, 16, and he was telling me this story.

00:29:43.000 And I'm like, you know it's a problem, but you don't realize the volume.

00:29:46.000 You don't realize the severity.

00:29:47.000 You don't understand.

00:29:48.000 Like, you can't even fathom that.

00:29:51.000 And I remember, Tim goes and meets my father at the White House, and they're sitting there.

00:29:55.000 My father announces they're gonna create a council looking at child sex trafficking and fund it with a couple hundred million dollars.

00:30:02.000 The first person to actually do something about it.

00:30:04.000 Yeah.

00:30:11.000 And what happens?

00:30:13.000 The left lost their minds!

00:30:15.000 I mean, think about that.

00:30:17.000 That's where we are.

00:30:20.000 That'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.

00:30:31.000 We're not going to look at that.

00:30:32.000 We're for keeping it the way it is rather than doing something about it.

00:30:36.000 That's today's Democrat Party. 0.99

00:30:37.000 They're sick. 0.99

00:30:39.000 Right? 1.00

00:30:40.000 They've lost their minds.

00:30:41.000 And by the way, so have some of the rhinos.

00:30:43.000 I mean, right?

00:30:44.000 Asa, right?

00:30:46.000 He vetoed the legislation that would have stopped the transition surgeries for minors in Arkansas.

00:30:50.000 That's kind of a problem.

00:30:55.000 That's what you get when you have weaklings.

00:30:57.000 That's what you get when you have people that answer to the left.

00:31:01.000 They would rather be loved by CNN.

00:31:04.000 Frankly, 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.

00:31:12.000 Right?

00:31:13.000 There's a difference, right?

00:31:15.000 With Trump, you can actually have that peace just like he was able to achieve in the Middle East at any other time.

00:31:22.000 That would have been the holy grail of geopolitical politics.

00:31:26.000 But because Trump did it, all of a sudden Middle East peace is bad somehow.

00:31:31.000 You can't make it up, right?

00:31:32.000 Same with North Korea.

00:31:34.000 Remember that one?

00:31:35.000 Trump's doing it all wrong in North Korea.

00:31:37.000 I'm looking at, I'm watching the news, I'm like, why?

00:31:39.000 Why is he doing it all wrong?

00:31:40.000 Well, because I've been head of the convoy for 40 years dealing with North America.

00:31:44.000 Well, like, what have you done?

00:31:46.000 Like, since the Korean War, what have you actually accomplished?

00:31:49.000 The answer was nothing.

00:31:51.000 But it doesn't matter, because there's no consequence for failure.

00:31:57.000 You 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.

00:32:07.000 In fact, if you lie to Congress, whether it's Strzok, Brennan, McCabe, all these guys, they get promotions!

00:32:07.000 Right?

00:32:13.000 They get contributorships!

00:32:15.000 Jobs at CNN and MSDNC!

00:32:18.000 So 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.

00:32:28.000 There's a difference.

00:32:30.000 We saw in the last two weeks just how important that is.

00:32:34.000 We saw the decisions

00:32:36.000 In the Supreme Court, overturning affirmative action.

00:32:44.000 You saw?

00:32:46.000 How awesome was it watching Joy read?

00:32:49.000 It was the first time I've watched in so long, but it was so nice.

00:32:51.000 Oh my God!

00:32:55.000 I went to Harvard, and I would have never gotten into Harvard if it wasn't for affirmative action! 1.00

00:33:01.000 I'm like, I don't understand.

00:33:04.000 Like, you're saying, I was not academically qualified.

00:33:08.000 I was not particularly good at anything.

00:33:10.000 I wasn't really bright, but I got into Harvard because of affirmative action. 0.82

00:33:15.000 I go, don't you think you took, like, someone's spot who maybe actually deserved to be there?

00:33:23.000 Like, 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.

00:33:33.000 It's so nice when they don't even know that they're owning themselves.

00:33:37.000 Right?

00:33:37.000 You 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.

00:33:49.000 Or otherwise.

00:33:51.000 You saw that with the Hunter Biden laptop, where people lied and magically said it was Russian disinformation, and we've heard this before.

00:33:58.000 Doesn't matter.

00:33:59.000 They'll say it because there's no consequence.

00:34:02.000 So that stopped.

00:34:04.000 So everyone says, you know what?

00:34:06.000 Any conservative would have given us conservative judges. 0.82

00:34:10.000 Really?

00:34:13.000 How many Republicans alive today would have stood by Brett Kavanaugh?

00:34:18.000 Like, let's say zero.

00:34:21.000 You think Mitt Romney would have done it?

00:34:26.000 You think George Bush would have done it?

00:34:28.000 No.

00:34:30.000 They would have tucked, hailed, and run.

00:34:31.000 You think, you know, others?

00:34:33.000 Chris Christie, you think he would have done it?

00:34:36.000 The guy that gave us Christopher Wray, you think he would have done it?

00:34:38.000 No!

00:34:39.000 If you believe that he would have, I want to sell you his diet plan because it's been incredibly successful.

00:34:48.000 No, no, but remember, right?

00:34:52.000 Reagan, even Reagan, gave us Sandra Day O'Connor. 0.73

00:34:57.000 George Bush wanted to give us Harriet Meyer.

00:35:00.000 That would have been a disaster.

00:35:01.000 It's not a guarantee that a conservative gives you conservative judges, especially the weak ones.

00:35:06.000 And frankly, we've seen that so many are actually weak.

00:35:09.000 That's the difference.

00:35:11.000 You need that.

00:35:14.000 It's so important because we're seeing the results of that now.

00:35:18.000 As 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.

00:35:39.000 When 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.

00:35:54.000 Instead of doing that, they're going to focus on looking at Catholic churches, because you must be a real extremist.

00:36:03.000 Right? 0.77

00:36:03.000 They won't look at, like, trans terror. 0.77

00:36:06.000 Because, I mean, if you're trans in 2023, you're like the most protected class in the history of the world.

00:36:13.000 You can literally do anything you want, and nothing will happen to you.

00:36:17.000 We haven't seen the manifestos because, you know, I've heard all sorts of other terrors are terror, except for trans terror. 0.99

00:36:23.000 That's different.

00:36:24.000 That's special.

00:36:25.000 You get protected.

00:36:28.000 And that's where we are, folks.

00:36:32.000 We have an economy that's floundering.

00:36:33.000 Interest rates are going through the roof.

00:36:36.000 Wait till people's mortgages start resetting.

00:36:38.000 You think you had pain in 2008?

00:36:39.000 You're going to see it again.

00:36:41.000 You top that with inflation?

00:36:44.000 You top that with the government forcing you?

00:36:46.000 Joe Biden used his first veto to make sure that your retirement savings had to be managed under DEI and ESG type requirements.

00:36:55.000 Because, you know, it's not about making a good investment.

00:36:58.000 It's about making sure we support our woke causes and our woke donors.

00:37:02.000 Screw your retirement.

00:37:03.000 Who cares?

00:37:04.000 They don't.

00:37:06.000 Right?

00:37:07.000 Because, hey, Joe said his 10% will take care of the Bidens for life.

00:37:13.000 Where'd it come from, you know?

00:37:14.000 Listen, I promise you, China does not invest a billion dollars with Hunter because they thought he was a good investor.

00:37:19.000 They're not like us.

00:37:21.000 We need a little bit of diversity.

00:37:22.000 So we're going to have a crackhead banker.

00:37:27.000 The crackheads are underrepresented in the banking sector in China.

00:37:33.000 So we're going to hire one, give them a billion dollars just for diversity. 0.99

00:37:40.000 I promise you, they are many things, but they're not stupid.

00:37:44.000 And 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?

00:37:59.000 Now think about that.

00:38:01.000 You've seen all the stuff on the laptop.

00:38:02.000 It's pretty damning.

00:38:05.000 Imagine what Hunter was like, I don't know, maybe this is too much to video.

00:38:13.000 It's like, you know what?

00:38:13.000 Right?

00:38:15.000 That's a little far.

00:38:17.000 I'm not going to video that.

00:38:18.000 I'm sure someone has it.

00:38:20.000 Because every decision we've made has been about making China first, putting America last. 0.93

00:38:28.000 And so I saw this amazing thing.

00:38:31.000 I saw this amazing thing.

00:38:34.000 ABC News, I think I wrote it down here, they said something like, Trump's unprecedented campaign pitch.

00:38:46.000 Elect me to get revenge on the government.

00:38:56.000 I was like, wait a minute!

00:39:00.000 You had me at really strong economy.

00:39:02.000 I was like, I love that.

00:39:05.000 Peace in the Middle East, pretty good. 0.98

00:39:07.000 Ending the never-ending wars.

00:39:11.000 But now?

00:39:13.000 You're adding that?

00:39:14.000 They think that's a bad thing.

00:39:15.000 I'm like, that's all I need.

00:39:16.000 I'm good, I'm in.

00:39:20.000 And that's what he's going to do, because that's the reality now.

00:39:23.000 He came in as an outsider.

00:39:24.000 He came in with actual, real-world experience.

00:39:27.000 He'd signed the front of a paycheck, not just the back of one.

00:39:31.000 He understood that!

00:39:37.000 Remember the old Obama?

00:39:40.000 Donald Trump says he's going to fix the economy.

00:39:42.000 He's going to create energy independence.

00:39:44.000 There's no magic wand for that.

00:39:46.000 Abracadabra! 0.98

00:39:54.000 Oh, there's a magic wand!

00:39:58.000 You just have to know something about anything.

00:40:02.000 You just have to be able to put America first.

00:40:07.000 Not kowtow to the Chinese.

00:40:10.000 Not fold and bow to every dictator that's out there.

00:40:14.000 Right?

00:40:15.000 Now Trump came in, he knew that business side, but what he didn't know, what he didn't know,

00:40:21.000 We're good to go.

00:40:40.000 Your well-being.

00:40:41.000 They don't care about the Constitution.

00:40:42.000 They care about furthering their power, their agenda, and ultimately getting on a board seat of big war, or whatever it may be.

00:40:49.000 That's why the D.C. 0.83

00:40:50.000 Beltway, they don't produce anything, and yet they're the richest counties in the world.

00:40:54.000 Right?

00:40:55.000 That's why they're so against Trump, because now he knows that part of it too, and that scares them more than anything.

00:41:09.000 That's why he's gonna implement Schedule F. You guys know what that is, right?

00:41:14.000 Where you literally fire all the bureaucrats.

00:41:21.000 Get rid of them all! 0.92

00:41:24.000 And again... Get rid of them all!

00:42:01.000 And now, you don't have to run for re-election after that.

00:42:06.000 You don't have to please anyone in the swamp.

00:42:09.000 You don't care because, in all fairness, those people have tried to put him in jail for 450 years.

00:42:18.000 So, let's just say, you may have something.

00:42:23.000 A little motivation.

00:42:27.000 To 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.

00:42:34.000 But 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.

00:42:46.000 They've been doing it for decades, but now it's been exposed.

00:42:50.000 And there's only one guy, folks, we've seen it.

00:42:57.000 Yeah.

00:42:59.000 I think Tucker ended a few careers on Friday.

00:43:09.000 But I think, guys, there's a few more that have exposed themselves in the last few months, right?

00:43:14.000 It sounds pretty good.

00:43:15.000 Oh, they flip-flopped because they got a call from the donor.

00:43:18.000 Oh, they flip-flopped because, you know, the Washington Post is going to write a mean article about them.

00:43:23.000 Guy, there's only one person who doesn't care.

00:43:27.000 Who only cares about you.

00:43:29.000 Who, if he decided not to do any of this, all of this nonsense would go away in two seconds.

00:43:34.000 You know, that's the case.

00:43:37.000 But there's one guy who knows that it's worth going through.

00:43:40.000 There's one guy that knows that all of our freedoms, our liberties, your family's well-being are worth fighting for.

00:43:47.000 And that is Donald J. Trump.

00:43:48.000 And that's why

00:43:55.000 And that's why we gotta fight!

00:43:56.000 So thank you very much, Turning Point!

00:43:59.000 You guys are the best!

00:44:01.000 Awesome to be here!

00:44:08.000 What's going on, guys?

00:44:09.000 Hope you enjoyed that.

00:44:10.000 So, I'm just looking down at the live chat, so if I'm staring off the screen, it's so I can read your comments.

00:44:16.000 What do you think of that?

00:44:17.000 Anything else I should include in it in the future?

00:44:20.000 That's sort of what I thought of, sort of impromptu.

00:44:22.000 I wrote down, like I said, a couple bullet points and a couple notes, but I had a lot of fun and it seemed to go over pretty well.

00:44:29.000 But before I get to the questions, I forgot to do this earlier, I want to make sure to thank the incredible sponsors of this show.

00:44:36.000 So, guys, we understand

00:44:37.000 It takes guts to support a show like this so I want to make sure to take the time to tell you about Gold Co.

00:44:43.000 and the importance of diversification.

00:44:45.000 It'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.

00:45:48.000 They take

00:45:50.000 We're good.

00:46:04.000 I got killed by the mainstream media for supporting a charge in Texas to take back some of our school boards and have the school board actually align with the values of the parents whose children are in those schools.

00:46:19.000 That'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.

00:46:37.000 You can have it with AT&T, whose parent company tried to cancel Newsmax, an OAN, conservative program.

00:46:43.000 Let's just say they don't share your beliefs.

00:46:45.000 So every time you send them your monthly plan check, they're taking a portion of that money and donating it to people who hate your guts, hate your values, and hate your freedoms.

00:47:06.000 It's quick, easy, and they're awesome people.

00:47:09.000 So now with that, I'm going to go to some of the live chat.

00:47:14.000 Sometimes it goes too quick if everyone's typing at the same time, but...

00:47:18.000 Okay.

00:47:19.000 Someone... Elfman says, I nailed it.

00:47:21.000 Well, I appreciate that.

00:47:23.000 Trump 2024 period.

00:47:24.000 I appreciate that.

00:47:25.000 The fly on Pence's head.

00:47:26.000 Yeah.

00:47:27.000 You see the meme where they had the fly on Pence's head, but they just put Tucker's face on it?

00:47:33.000 That was a good one.

00:47:34.000 I saw it and I forgot to screenshot it.

00:47:37.000 I've been a little lazy.

00:47:38.000 With the summer when I'm not working, I'm just trying to be outside doing stuff.

00:47:41.000 So I'm not on Instagram all day long posting memes.

00:47:46.000 Thoughts on Vivek?

00:47:47.000 You know, it's interesting.

00:47:51.000 I don't know him.

00:47:54.000 I know people that know him that like him, but I don't know where he was in 15 or 16 or before that.

00:48:00.000 But 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.

00:48:07.000 Again, I don't know, because I don't know him.

00:48:09.000 But man, he's saying the right things.

00:48:12.000 He'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.

00:48:27.000 So it's interesting.

00:48:30.000 He's not done the flip-flop.

00:48:31.000 He doesn't seem to be catering to the billionaire donor class.

00:48:34.000 He's not, you know, like we saw.

00:48:35.000 Again, I would have said,

00:48:37.000 You know, as future hopefuls, it would have been DeSantis until I saw that, you know, the Ukraine flip-flop and then this flip-flop.

00:48:44.000 And, you know, there's a loyalty issue as well. 0.68

00:48:45.000 I mean, he was going to lose a gubernatorial race to a crackhead.

00:48:48.000 So, you know, minor details like that.

00:48:50.000 So I take it a little bit more personally, perhaps.

00:48:52.000 But that flip-flop and kowtowing to the billionaire donor class, like that's not America first.

00:48:59.000 That's like, you know, that's, you know, just one step

00:49:05.000 Barely one step better than what the Democrats' America Last, China First policies that we're seeing out of this.

00:49:13.000 Don't get cucked by RFK Jr.

00:49:15.000 just because a couple of things, right?

00:49:16.000 Yeah, I agree.

00:49:17.000 Listen, RFK Jr.

00:49:18.000 is a disaster on the Second Amendment and a bunch of other things.

00:49:21.000 I like him.

00:49:22.000 I like that he's challenging it.

00:49:25.000 Certainly more competent than Biden.

00:49:27.000 Democrats are trying to, you know,

00:49:30.000 Take him out, uh, pretty hard.

00:49:31.000 But yeah, no, I don't, I don't believe, uh, he's not like a sort of, kind of, uh, Republican.

00:49:37.000 Like, he's just not.

00:49:38.000 So, um, but it is interesting.

00:49:40.000 I'll notice this on that, like, on my social feeds, like, I don't follow him and like, but like, I'm being bombarded with his stuff.

00:49:48.000 So I'm wondering if big tech is trying to create him as a, uh,

00:49:53.000 You know, a strawman Republican to try to take away votes from either my father or another Republican eventually.

00:50:02.000 It's just, it's so glaring.

00:50:05.000 It's so frequent that I'm wondering if that's sort of what's going on.

00:50:10.000 And I did it without the prompter.

00:50:11.000 You're right.

00:50:12.000 I'm not much of a prompter guy.

00:50:13.000 I don't take direction well.

00:50:17.000 So I like going, but I also like, you know, even in a crowd like that, sort of like this,

00:50:23.000 I like, you know, I got a reaction from the crowd.

00:50:25.000 You know, one of the guys said something about Hunter, and I sort of, you know, went from it.

00:50:28.000 I was like, yeah, that was my laptop my dad had put me in Gitmo, and that's probably true.

00:50:32.000 And I think I said something to the effect when I just, you know, re-watched it, like, you know, but...

00:50:38.000 That's why I am the way I am, and maybe Hunter is the way that he is.

00:50:42.000 Joe Biden could have perhaps given him a little bit of tough love, but I guess he was too busy sniffing children and stuff.

00:50:50.000 That's where we are.

00:50:52.000 That'd be pretty lit.

00:50:57.000 You know, there's not many people I agree with on everything.

00:51:01.000 I'm not saying I agree with Tucker on everything, but man, I like a lot of his policies.

00:51:05.000 I like what he stands for.

00:51:07.000 I mean, he's a buddy of mine, so maybe that's a little different.

00:51:09.000 But even my buddies that I align with a lot and have supported politically, there's still things that I disagree with a lot.

00:51:15.000 And so, you know, it's interesting, man.

00:51:20.000 The guys, you know, listen, there's a reason establishment media, even conservative established media, wanted to get rid of him.

00:51:27.000 It wasn't because he didn't have the best ratings, because he had the best ratings.

00:51:31.000 He brought in the most money.

00:51:34.000 And so, you know, that's where we are.

00:51:38.000 Lindsey Graham is a rhino, stay away. 1.00

00:51:39.000 Yeah, well, listen, go look at my Twitter feed from last week.

00:51:41.000 I called him out when he's, you know, out there.

00:51:43.000 We must do the Ukraine to what? 0.94

00:51:45.000 Like, we must let them into NATO.

00:51:46.000 That's what it was.

00:51:47.000 We must let Ukraine into NATO. 0.90

00:51:48.000 I said, wait, we're going to let...

00:51:51.000 Ukraine into NATO?

00:51:52.000 That 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. 0.69

00:52:02.000 For what?

00:52:04.000 For what?

00:52:05.000 So the globalists, which is what they're planning on doing in my opinion, so they can take over Ukraine.

00:52:10.000 Don't forget, half the men are dying in a war that they're forced to fight, okay?

00:52:14.000 The women and children escaped.

00:52:16.000 The cities are in ruins.

00:52:18.000 No one's going back.

00:52:19.000 To me, it feels like they're doing this, like, this is literally the globalists, billionaire, you know, Black Rock type.

00:52:30.000 It is there.

00:52:32.000 Let's grab it all.

00:52:33.000 We're going to own the breadbasket of Europe. 0.75

00:52:35.000 We're going to basically own the largest farm in the world.

00:52:40.000 And we're going to own it and control the food supply.

00:52:42.000 And you know what?

00:52:43.000 Someone's going to say that sounds conspiratorial.

00:52:45.000 But if you've been watching for about the last decade, it isn't.

00:52:49.000 It's just probably what's happening.

00:52:51.000 Like I said, the women and children are forced to leave.

00:52:53.000 The men are forced to fight.

00:52:54.000 Half of them are dying.

00:52:55.000 The cities are gone.

00:52:56.000 No one's coming back.

00:52:58.000 And you have one of the greatest agricultural areas of the world being taken over.

00:53:01.000 There's a reason the Uniparty and the Globalists and stuff like that are supporting Ukraine. 0.94

00:53:06.000 It's not because they believe Zelensky's a great leader or a great man.

00:53:09.000 No, no, no.

00:53:11.000 There's a play here.

00:53:12.000 And like everything else, it always comes down to the money.

00:53:15.000 So that's what I'm seeing.

00:53:18.000 It's absolutely nuts.

00:53:21.000 So I called him out on that one on Twitter very aggressively.

00:53:27.000 Yeah, they're doing it in the USA, too.

00:53:28.000 We've lost 50,000 farms in America.

00:53:30.000 Yeah, 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?

00:53:37.000 I 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.

00:53:46.000 And, you know, farmers and hunters don't even often align all that much.

00:53:48.000 They're sort of... Farmers are too busy doing what they do.

00:53:50.000 The game's usually a nuisance for them.

00:53:52.000 But you spend time in that part of the world, you talk to enough guys, and you see what's going on, and yeah.

00:53:57.000 You know, can't transfer the family farm.

00:54:00.000 You can't compete against, you know, you have a 5,000 acre farm.

00:54:03.000 You'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,

00:54:20.000 There's definitely an attack on sort of the American family farmer, you know, from the big corporations.

00:54:26.000 And anything that goes big corporation gets a little bit scary.

00:54:29.000 Solinsky can be bought.

00:54:30.000 Really?

00:54:30.000 Yeah.

00:54:33.000 Oh, he has been.

00:54:35.000 A 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. 1.00

00:54:43.000 It seems like he was pretty rich from whatever, but that's what we're doing.

00:54:47.000 I mean, you know, $130 billion from us that we know of.

00:54:53.000 You know, there was the other $6 billion last week that they, oh, you know, accounting error.

00:54:56.000 We're just gonna have to give it to Ukraine. 0.65

00:54:57.000 I guess it breaks that way, shockingly.

00:55:00.000 You 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.

00:55:06.000 And I'm sure most, you know, a good majority of that's being pilfered, creating the next class of Ukrainian oligarchs. 0.95

00:55:13.000 So, you know, that's gone on, that's happened.

00:55:15.000 You know, no one's watching.

00:55:17.000 You know, our military isn't, they're not following the weapons or the money.

00:55:20.000 They could care less.

00:55:21.000 They're worried about their pronouns.

00:55:23.000 That's what's happening right now.

00:55:24.000 So it's pretty scary.

00:55:26.000 Do I think I will run for office after my father?

00:55:30.000 I have no idea, man.

00:55:32.000 You 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.

00:55:44.000 I was always a conservative.

00:55:46.000 I got in this fight.

00:55:48.000 To support my dad initially, and then once they started attacking me as well, I just, you know, fight or flight, I guess.

00:55:56.000 I just, I didn't inherit the latter gene, so we fight.

00:56:00.000 And now I get to do that and help support the people I think that can get it done.

00:56:05.000 I've tried doing that whenever possible.

00:56:08.000 If one day I decide, you gotta want the day job too, right?

00:56:10.000 I like sort of fighting. 0.99

00:56:11.000 I 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. 0.94

00:56:17.000 Bending over and saying I'm so sorry, please Please be nice to me at the Washington Post. 0.60

00:56:22.000 I 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.

00:56:40.000 I mean you never know one day You could do it Your dad is a hero

00:56:46.000 Thanks, Slick Nard. 1.00

00:56:46.000 I appreciate that. 1.00

00:56:48.000 Trump is your guy.

00:56:50.000 Appreciate that. 1.00

00:56:51.000 Too early for me to even say... Yeah, well, like I said, you know, like, shit. 0.98

00:56:57.000 Six years ago, seven years ago, you asked me, like, would I be doing this stuff? 0.98

00:57:01.000 Would I be vocally political?

00:57:02.000 Again, I built buildings in New York, right?

00:57:04.000 So it's like, even though I was political, like, it's not exactly... You know, we built skyscrapers.

00:57:09.000 That's what we did for...

00:57:10.000 For me, I did it for 20 years.

00:57:13.000 That's what I knew.

00:57:14.000 That's what I did.

00:57:14.000 And, 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.

00:57:21.000 Like, you know, you don't do that by being a super vocal conservative.

00:57:24.000 So you do what you do.

00:57:25.000 I get the hell out of the city on the weekends and went up to my, you know,

00:57:30.000 We're good to go.

00:57:50.000 I got to see your father take off yesterday, it was amazing.

00:57:52.000 Yeah, Trump Force One coming out of Palm Beach is pretty cool, so that's always a fun one.

00:57:59.000 Human trafficking is the most important issue.

00:58:01.000 Oh, yeah, dude, guys, I think I mentioned it in my intro, Tim Ballard is going to be on the show on Thursday.

00:58:10.000 So Thursday, live, 6 p.m., it's gonna be Tim Ballard.

00:58:14.000 Tim Ballard is the subject

00:58:17.000 Of The Sound of Freedom.

00:58:18.000 He's the, you know, the hero of The Sound of Freedom.

00:58:22.000 I met him in, I guess it was 2016, I think.

00:58:26.000 We were out in Utah, we had some mutual friends, and he's telling me this story.

00:58:29.000 Listen, I don't get the Hunter Biden treatment, right?

00:58:31.000 I don't get involved in policy or whatever it was.

00:58:33.000 You 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?

00:58:41.000 They'd have a problem if it seemed like I was doing anything, even though I wasn't making any money, obviously, doing that.

00:58:46.000 Unlike Hunter, that would be a problem regardless.

00:58:50.000 But the two times I actually got involved, one was on the Pebble Mine, which was a mine up at the top of Bristol Bay.

00:58:56.000 It 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.

00:59:04.000 And I just said, hey, listen, look at the details here.

00:59:06.000 I get it.

00:59:07.000 I'm very pro mining.

00:59:08.000 I'm very pro coal.

00:59:09.000 I'm very pro all of the things that this was the one that may be an exception.

00:59:12.000 And 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.

00:59:20.000 So.

00:59:22.000 Um, 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.

00:59:29.000 Uh, 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.

00:59:44.000 Uh, you know, I was like, I, you know, so he talked about it in a way that was just not like,

00:59:50.000 Well, you know, it's a sick world.

00:59:51.000 Stuff's going to happen.

00:59:52.000 It was like, oh my God, like we got to do something about this.

00:59:53.000 So I literally called and I introduced him to some people down there.

00:59:57.000 And then, you know, then I got hands off.

00:59:58.000 And then I see a couple of weeks later, Tim Vallon's giving a press conference with my father and they funded it.

01:00:03.000 You know, a council looking into the child sex trafficking trade and the practice.

01:00:07.000 And they put like $300 million to work.

01:00:09.000 The first time like an administration actually did that.

01:00:13.000 And all of a sudden, the left went crazy.

01:00:16.000 Like, I mean, you know, we all understand Trump derangement syndrome, folks.

01:00:19.000 We get it.

01:00:20.000 But like, oh my god, like, isn't this one that we can be like 100% on?

01:00:24.000 And the answer at any other point in history probably would have been yes.

01:00:29.000 But that's where we are today.

01:00:31.000 And honestly, if you look at Democrat policy, it shouldn't surprise you.

01:00:34.000 But, you know, I put those guys there, and now the movie comes out.

01:00:37.000 I 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.

01:00:51.000 So make sure you pass that one around.

01:00:53.000 Send it to your friends, because I think it's important for other people to know.

01:00:56.000 I'm not naive to what goes on in the world, but I had no idea how big and bad the problem is.

01:01:01.000 He'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.

01:01:09.000 Because again, it's not just watching a movie.

01:01:12.000 It's like, go support these causes, because God knows Joe Biden's not going to do it.

01:01:21.000 A few less children for him to sniff.

01:01:23.000 So, this is an important issue and we gotta be out there doing it.

01:01:27.000 So, yeah, check it out on Thursday.

01:01:29.000 I think we'll have a lot of fun with that.

01:01:31.000 Alright, let's see.

01:01:35.000 Father's the only president in 60 years of life who really cares about the people.

01:01:37.000 Yeah, like he did, you know, look at what he's going through.

01:01:40.000 They're trying to put him in jail for 450 years.

01:01:42.000 All he did was try to put America first.

01:01:45.000 And the bureaucracy put America first.

01:01:47.000 And like, if you look at any economic metric, he was doing that.

01:01:51.000 You look at any economic metric right now, and it's like a disaster.

01:01:54.000 It's like, so I'm so psyched to have Gold Co.

01:01:56.000 as a sponsor because, like, you want the guy that used his first veto, Joe Biden,

01:02:04.000 To veto the guy who's managing your retirement saving, his ability to be like, we're not following the woke ESG stuff.

01:02:10.000 No, no, no, you gotta, you have to. 0.98

01:02:12.000 You have to invest in that, even if it's a loser. 0.78

01:02:15.000 I mean, think about that. 1.00

01:02:17.000 So yeah, donjrgold.com to hedge against Joe Biden's stupidity. 1.00

01:02:25.000 Let's see. 1.00

01:02:29.000 Joe hasn't raised anything.

01:02:30.000 He's a pawn.

01:02:31.000 Yeah, listen, Joe's not raising anything, but it doesn't matter.

01:02:35.000 Because he's been more effective as a Democrat than Barack Obama by a lot.

01:02:40.000 Not because he knows what's going on, but because Barack Obama had the self-awareness

01:02:47.000 To not destroy his reputation in front of the American people.

01:02:53.000 Joe Biden doesn't know that.

01:02:55.000 I 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.

01:03:04.000 Joe Biden's an adult.

01:03:06.000 Don't get me wrong. 1.00

01:03:06.000 He's an imbecile. 1.00

01:03:08.000 You wouldn't let him drive an Uber or manage the lowest level job in the world, yet he has the nuclear football. 1.00

01:03:16.000 But they're also using him like that pawn to push through the insanity, right?

01:03:21.000 You know, all right, you know, the trans movement is the civil rights issue of our time.

01:03:26.000 It's like, I don't know.

01:03:28.000 Mmm, nah.

01:03:29.000 It's not.

01:03:31.000 It's not.

01:03:31.000 Like, just stop.

01:03:33.000 Like, you know, if they weren't trying to compete against women, take their scholarships against our kids, like, no one would give a shit. 0.99

01:03:43.000 But, you know, it's like veganism and CrossFit, right? 0.99

01:03:46.000 You gotta hear about it.

01:03:48.000 Gotta make sure we tell you about it non-stop. 1.00

01:03:51.000 But yeah, ESG is extremely stupid. 1.00

01:03:57.000 It is. 1.00

01:03:58.000 It is.

01:03:59.000 And 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.

01:04:07.000 They literally have ESG requirements. 0.99

01:04:09.000 They look better to their peers if they follow these bullshit practices. 0.99

01:04:14.000 So we're not going to hire the best fund manager. 0.99

01:04:16.000 We've got a trans fund manager.

01:04:18.000 Ooh, that's great.

01:04:20.000 They lost money.

01:04:20.000 It doesn't matter.

01:04:21.000 They're trans.

01:04:21.000 You can't do anything about that.

01:04:25.000 So it's a big deal.

01:04:29.000 They don't want to impeach Biden because Kamala Harris would be worse. 0.85

01:04:31.000 By the way, I actually agree with that.

01:04:35.000 Some of the Republicans and their good friends are like, we're going to impeach?

01:04:39.000 I was with Lauren Boebert in Colorado over the last weekend and that was a thing.

01:04:46.000 I was like, I don't know.

01:04:48.000 Let's be careful. 0.99

01:04:51.000 Kamala 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. 1.00

01:05:03.000 She'd be equally incompetent. 1.00

01:05:07.000 Perhaps actually believes some of this crap that the left is pushing. 0.99

01:05:12.000 No one believes that Joe Biden actually thinks that this stuff is 0.94

01:05:15.000 Really, 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.

01:05:22.000 You 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.

01:05:29.000 backing you.

01:05:30.000 Have I hunted with Ted Nugent?

01:05:31.000 You know what?

01:05:32.000 I haven't hunted with Ted.

01:05:33.000 We've done a lot together.

01:05:34.000 Ted, in 2020, we're buddies.

01:05:37.000 Like, we text back and forth all the time.

01:05:39.000 We'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

01:05:46.000 Ted actually traveled with me and Cam Haynes.

01:05:49.000 We 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

01:06:05.000 Ted Nugent would literally play Stranglehold or like Fred Bear as my, you know, opening walk-on music, but live, and it was just awesome.

01:06:16.000 Like, I got to do a lot of cool stuff, see some amazing people.

01:06:21.000 I have hunted with Kid Rock.

01:06:22.000 Yeah, you said, how about Kid Rock?

01:06:23.000 Yeah, we've hunted down in Texas a bunch and had a good time down there, and he's super fun in camp.

01:06:30.000 uh 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

01:07:01.000 It's our thing.

01:07:05.000 Ted Rocks, I've seen him live.

01:07:07.000 Yeah, 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.

01:07:20.000 Ted'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,

01:07:36.000 Is really awesome.

01:07:37.000 So, just a good dude.

01:07:40.000 We'll have to make that happen.

01:07:40.000 I think he opened for DJT, like, last weekend or something.

01:07:43.000 Somewhere.

01:07:47.000 He's decent, but man, there are some serious players out there.

01:07:50.000 These days?

01:07:51.000 Man, I don't know.

01:07:53.000 Alive, he's got to be one of the best.

01:07:56.000 Obviously, there's some great guys before that.

01:07:57.000 You 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.

01:08:03.000 Like, Nugent's got a

01:08:05.000 Legit.

01:08:07.000 Legit background.

01:08:08.000 Do I like Jimi Hendrix?

01:08:09.000 Yeah, I mean, that's, you know, again, like, that's arguably, you know, certainly top three.

01:08:17.000 Guitarist of all time?

01:08:18.000 Maybe number one?

01:08:21.000 How's Herschel Walker?

01:08:23.000 You know, I haven't spoken to Herschel in a little while, but he's a good guy, good friend.

01:08:27.000 I mean, I used to go to Disney World with Herschel Walker as a kid.

01:08:33.000 You know, he played for my father when he had a football team, the New Jersey Generals in the USFL.

01:08:39.000 Um, and so, uh, yeah, I used to spend a lot of time with him and his family, like growing up, like before he had his own kids.

01:08:46.000 It was sort of, uh, he was a good dude and a good friend.

01:08:49.000 But yeah, I haven't spoken to him in a couple of months.

01:08:53.000 Greetings and love from Greece.

01:08:54.000 Lewis, Lewis, we got an international audience.

01:08:57.000 I'll make sure to do that.

01:08:58.000 Do I know Elon?

01:09:00.000 Uh, I've met Elon.

01:09:01.000 I don't know Elon.

01:09:02.000 Does that make sense?

01:09:04.000 Like I've met him.

01:09:04.000 I, but you know, I, I don't, I don't know him.

01:09:08.000 Uh,

01:09:09.000 David Gilmour of Pink Floyd?

01:09:10.000 Yeah, sort of, you know, rabid communist, but definitely, definitely up there.

01:09:16.000 I mean, Pink Floyd's probably one of my favorite bands of all time.

01:09:18.000 So, yeah, David Gilmour would be up there.

01:09:22.000 And, 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.

01:09:31.000 I just, you know, so, yeah, I mean, I think Hendrix is still probably

01:09:40.000 Can you have Andrew Tate on?

01:09:44.000 I haven't spoken to Andrew in a little while.

01:09:46.000 We used to, you know, go back and forth a bunch.

01:09:49.000 Things obviously have gotten crazy.

01:09:51.000 I should just check in and see what he's doing.

01:09:54.000 Obviously, you know, resonating, driving people crazy. 1.00

01:09:57.000 I mean, these bullshit charges are so, it's so insane. 1.00

01:10:00.000 Like, yeah, he's human trafficking. 1.00

01:10:01.000 Well, we don't have any evidence of it, but we're going to put him in jail for months until we figure it out.

01:10:06.000 And then there's still nothing there.

01:10:11.000 It's lunacy.

01:10:13.000 He's challenging the establishment.

01:10:16.000 He's challenging what they're clearly trying to do to young men and boys and men all over the place.

01:10:23.000 The pussification of America, what I like to call it basically. 0.89

01:10:26.000 If you're a man, you can't be a man. 1.00

01:10:28.000 You gotta be a bitch. 1.00

01:10:28.000 You gotta be effeminate. 1.00

01:10:30.000 You can't do that.

01:10:33.000 Tate came up to see me in my office.

01:10:36.000 Back in like 16 or something like that, we hung out and whatever it was with him and Tristan.

01:10:41.000 Yeah, good guys. 0.98

01:10:42.000 I like them a lot and I think what's happening to them is bullshit. 0.93

01:10:47.000 Will Admiral Rachel Levine stay in position after Trump 2024? 0.98

01:10:51.000 Not if I had anything to do about it.

01:10:53.000 And I can't imagine my father would do that. 0.99

01:10:55.000 And 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. 0.95

01:11:04.000 But, you know, that's just my opinion. 0.95

01:11:06.000 Tate plus senior on a show.

01:11:08.000 That could be fun.

01:11:11.000 Upstate New York loves Trump.

01:11:12.000 We appreciate that, guys.

01:11:13.000 Thank you.

01:11:17.000 Will you run with your dad if he asks Trump Trump 2024?

01:11:20.000 Is that allowed?

01:11:22.000 I think it would be allowed except for the fact that we both live in the same state.

01:11:25.000 There's like a I think it's like 12th amendment issue or something like that where you have to be from separate states.

01:11:29.000 So, 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

01:11:39.000 When 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.

01:11:45.000 You 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.

01:11:55.000 It's a little different with the Republicans, but you probably, probably don't need two Trumps.

01:12:01.000 Straight up done. 0.99

01:12:02.000 We're all screwed, probably. 0.95

01:12:04.000 So proud that my military retirement award was signed by your dad. 0.96

01:12:08.000 You know, it's funny you say that, and I appreciate that.

01:12:11.000 That means a lot to us.

01:12:15.000 But yeah, I have guys that are literally like, they had sent me their retirement stuff.

01:12:20.000 They left after Trump or were getting out at the time and just didn't get out in time or whatever it was.

01:12:25.000 We're like, hey, can you just cross off Biden and have your dad sign it?

01:12:31.000 I don't want to say hundreds.

01:12:32.000 I know of dozens, and I'm sure there's people that go directly for that one.

01:12:38.000 But yeah, it's sort of amazing that a lot of people have done that.

01:12:44.000 Literally, they will send us one that has Joe Biden's signature whited out to see if my father would sign it for them.

01:12:51.000 It's probably like the great compliment, but one of the best we could actually receive.

01:12:57.000 Especially with what's going on in today's military, because, man, it's scary.

01:13:01.000 And 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.

01:13:15.000 You know, it's sad.

01:13:18.000 It's sad, but this is all what's going on because of these insane military policies.

01:13:26.000 My Phil passed the day before the election.

01:13:29.000 His military honors are signed by your father-in-law, I guess you're saying.

01:13:32.000 Okay.

01:13:33.000 His military honors are signed by Biden.

01:13:35.000 Yeah, 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.

01:13:42.000 So we've had guys just send them to him to sign.

01:13:46.000 Biden is destroying America.

01:13:47.000 That's quite clear.

01:13:49.000 Who's your pick for VP?

01:13:51.000 Honestly, I don't know yet.

01:13:52.000 I don't know.

01:13:57.000 I 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.

01:14:07.000 You needed sort of a yin and yang.

01:14:11.000 I don't think that matters anymore, folks.

01:14:12.000 I think you need people that...

01:14:15.000 Can 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?

01:14:23.000 The answer in the Republican side is no one can actually deal with that other than Trump, right?

01:14:28.000 You 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.

01:14:38.000 You know, they think they can handle it until it's actually on them, and then it's different.

01:14:43.000 Byron Donalds, 100.

01:14:44.000 Byron's gonna be on the show in two weeks.

01:14:48.000 So, check that one out.

01:14:50.000 Yeah, Byron's great.

01:14:51.000 We had dinner on Saturday.

01:14:55.000 Awesome dude.

01:14:57.000 He's gonna be on the show.

01:14:58.000 Yeah, not this week.

01:15:01.000 He's gonna be on the show next week, either Monday or Thursday.

01:15:04.000 He's a great guy.

01:15:05.000 You know, doing some cool stuff.

01:15:08.000 Great story, real life experience.

01:15:12.000 Let's see who are some other guys I honestly like

01:15:16.000 I also really like Wesley Hunt.

01:15:18.000 I think that guy's just a badass and just doing cool shit and he's totally unafraid. 0.85

01:15:22.000 You just don't see it coming. 0.85

01:15:24.000 Wesley's awesome.

01:15:26.000 I mean, there's a lot of people that could be great.

01:15:28.000 And again, then there's also the political calculus, right?

01:15:31.000 Of like, what do you need to do?

01:15:32.000 Like, it sucks that you have to play that game, but like, you know, we're not the Democrats.

01:15:35.000 We don't start off with 56 electoral votes from California or whatever it is.

01:15:38.000 Like, it's different.

01:15:40.000 It's a lot harder.

01:15:41.000 Our map is a lot harder.

01:15:43.000 So you got to make sure you can add value that way as well.

01:15:50.000 What do I think of Anthony Sabatini for Florida Governor?

01:15:52.000 I don't know.

01:15:53.000 Florida Governor?

01:15:55.000 I'd like to see Matt Gaetz do it.

01:15:57.000 I mean, that would take things to an entirely different level, which would be awesome.

01:16:08.000 Trump and JFK Jr.

01:16:12.000 Oh boy.

01:16:15.000 I have a feeling that's not actually an RFK Jr.

01:16:17.000 typo.

01:16:18.000 I have a feeling that's actually, so yeah, probably not going to happen, guys, unfortunately.

01:16:25.000 What are we doing to stop the steal in 2024?

01:16:27.000 Listen, again, you don't have COVID to be weaponized.

01:16:29.000 I'm sure they'll come up with something, but that's what I always say all the time.

01:16:33.000 To 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.

01:16:41.000 And that's all getting blown in a primary.

01:16:43.000 Chris 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.

01:16:57.000 That money is money that could be spent trying to actually win an election.

01:17:02.000 But 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.

01:17:12.000 Yeah, Jim Jordan, that's interesting.

01:17:13.000 Could be good.

01:17:18.000 Let's see.

01:17:21.000 Don, is President Trump worried at all about the phony indictment?

01:17:24.000 I mean, you have to take it seriously.

01:17:27.000 You know, they want to put him in jail for 450 years. 0.99

01:17:31.000 I think it's all bullshit, but that hasn't stopped them, right? 1.00

01:17:34.000 You're telling me Russia, Russia was bullshit, and that was the gospel for years, right? 1.00

01:17:38.000 If 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. 0.99

01:17:44.000 You're never getting back into that.

01:17:45.000 Like, you must capitulate.

01:17:47.000 You must fold.

01:17:50.000 You know, it's not so easy. 1.00

01:17:53.000 Bullshit. 0.99

01:17:54.000 But, you know, it's not so easy. 1.00

01:17:56.000 These guys will do anything to take out a guy like Trump.

01:17:59.000 Because it's not just about taking out Trump.

01:18:01.000 It's about making sure no one ever questions their authority again.

01:18:06.000 And that's really what it's about. 0.99

01:18:09.000 It's making sure that no one has the guts to ever say, this is bullshit. 1.00

01:18:13.000 You guys are getting rich while screwing the American people. 1.00

01:18:16.000 They want to make sure that never happens again.

01:18:21.000 I don't know.

01:18:22.000 Someone said something about Kimberly up there.

01:18:23.000 I saw that but I couldn't read the whole thing.

01:18:24.000 What was that?

01:18:32.000 Maybe I missed it.

01:18:37.000 To be honest, with Kimberly beside you, you've got a strong base to run.

01:18:41.000 You got me today, really.

01:18:43.000 I appreciate that.

01:18:44.000 Listen, Kimberly, that's a... And she understands that this is one of the finest forms of compliment.

01:18:50.000 I could pay her, but as I always say, she's a good broad, and she knows that that's actually a good... That is a tough, smart woman. 1.00

01:19:00.000 She just gets it, and yeah, she's been great.

01:19:03.000 I mean, with me, five...

01:19:06.000 Five and a half years almost.

01:19:09.000 She pushes me the right way.

01:19:11.000 She's a good woman.

01:19:13.000 So I appreciate that and you're right.

01:19:15.000 Unconcerned or concerned?

01:19:18.000 I only saw the unconcerned.

01:19:26.000 I think she should be concerned. 0.99

01:19:27.000 I 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. 0.99

01:19:37.000 Like, what could possibly go wrong? 1.00

01:19:39.000 All under the careful watchful eye of Joe Biden, who can't walk up a flight of stairs.

01:19:44.000 Yes, Kimberly is a tough cookie. 0.99

01:19:48.000 Yeah.

01:19:49.000 No, she is a tough woman. 0.98

01:19:53.000 In a good way, though.

01:19:56.000 If 2024's stolen, what's next?

01:20:00.000 I don't know, man.

01:20:01.000 Too much at stake to give up.

01:20:02.000 You just, you keep fighting.

01:20:05.000 I got five young kids.

01:20:06.000 You guys do.

01:20:07.000 I believe in the stuff.

01:20:08.000 So we'll see.

01:20:08.000 You keep going.

01:20:09.000 But we gotta, we gotta, again, it's sort of like the sponsors.

01:20:13.000 That's what I talk about every day.

01:20:14.000 Like, you know,

01:20:16.000 Stop giving the companies that hate your guts your money.

01:20:22.000 I mean, we're actually, by the way, we're taking, you know, Public Square.

01:20:25.000 You guys have seen me talk about that.

01:20:26.000 You've had Michael Seifert on here a couple times, a show a couple weeks ago.

01:20:29.000 We're taking them public on the New York Stock Exchange on Thursday.

01:20:34.000 That allows others to invest in sort of that patriot economy.

01:20:37.000 And 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.

01:20:45.000 Do you, Kimberly, eat, sleep, politics?

01:20:49.000 Not really.

01:20:50.000 We talk about it a lot, but like, she's just, I don't know.

01:20:54.000 You've seen her on the show and on her show, and she's a funny, funny woman.

01:21:01.000 We just have a good time.

01:21:02.000 I 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,

01:21:10.000 No, 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.

01:21:17.000 So I try to separate it out when I'm doing that, if I can.

01:21:20.000 But, 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.

01:21:29.000 But you try.

01:21:30.000 I'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

01:21:39.000 I guess every day for the next 14 months, next year.

01:21:46.000 Once we get going with that, unfortunately for me, it's just brutal.

01:21:51.000 October 2020, just so we understand, I did 104 rallies in the month of October.

01:21:57.000 So four major rallies a day for the entire month.

01:21:59.000 There's no stop.

01:22:00.000 It's brutal.

01:22:01.000 So I'm going to try to enjoy it while I can.

01:22:05.000 Globalists, your thoughts?

01:22:07.000 Dislike.

01:22:09.000 Bigly.

01:22:13.000 Hello from Burbank, California.

01:22:14.000 Huh?

01:22:14.000 Listen, there's a sane person left in California.

01:22:14.000 How's it going?

01:22:16.000 That's nice.

01:22:18.000 We're proud of you and your family.

01:22:21.000 Godspeed.

01:22:21.000 Chin up.

01:22:23.000 If you don't register, your votes can be changed.

01:22:26.000 Plain and simple.

01:22:29.000 Listen, we've all got to be a part of it.

01:22:30.000 We can't pretend.

01:22:31.000 They want us to be dejected.

01:22:32.000 They want us to think that we don't have a chance.

01:22:35.000 You've got to still show up each and every time.

01:22:39.000 Just don't give them the satisfaction.

01:22:41.000 That's exactly what they want.

01:22:42.000 So a question for you guys.

01:22:46.000 How tall is Baron?

01:22:47.000 He's like nine feet tall. 0.99

01:22:48.000 It's ridiculous. 0.96

01:22:49.000 I'm 6'1". 0.99

01:22:49.000 I look like a midget. 0.99

01:22:50.000 I think he's like 6'9". 0.99

01:22:50.000 It's ridiculous. 0.99

01:22:56.000 How do you guys like this format, by the way? 0.63

01:22:58.000 It'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.

01:23:09.000 How do you like this format of just going through the questions, maybe doing the news of the week and then doing that?

01:23:19.000 I'm enjoying this.

01:23:22.000 Yes, I am serious.

01:23:24.000 6'9".

01:23:25.000 This is great, Don.

01:23:26.000 We truly appreciate your time.

01:23:27.000 Okay.

01:23:28.000 So listen, maybe we do that a little bit more often.

01:23:31.000 Maybe I'll throw in some random ones, whatever it may be.

01:23:33.000 Okay.

01:23:36.000 This is great.

01:23:37.000 Thank you.

01:23:37.000 We love it.

01:23:37.000 This is fantastic, my friend.

01:23:39.000 Love that you answered me directly.

01:23:41.000 Yeah, and guys, I apologize, but I think there's like 10,000 people watching right now.

01:23:45.000 So if 1% of them is asking a question, 9,489 to be exact.

01:23:54.000 I can't get to all of them, but if I see something up and it's interesting, I'll try to hit it.

01:24:01.000 So please add Q&As regularly.

01:24:03.000 Very Tucker style.

01:24:05.000 That's a compliment.

01:24:06.000 Thank you.

01:24:09.000 I answered four of your questions.

01:24:10.000 Wow!

01:24:11.000 You 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.
