Triggered - Donald Trump Jr - On Every Issue, the Left is Lying, Interviews with Ned Ryun & Dinesh D’Souza | TRIGGERED Ep.178

00:00:00.000 you you

00:05:54.000 hey guys welcome to another huge episode of triggered

00:06:21.000 And today, it's going to be a really important one because we have author and America First leader, Ned Ryan, on the program.

00:06:29.000 Ned is the CEO of American Majority.

00:06:31.000 He's out there fighting in some of these swing states registering voters, but he also speaks truth to power.

00:06:38.000 It's a group that actually trains conservative leaders and candidates.

00:06:41.000 So we'll hear about what's going on.

00:06:43.000 He also has a new book out called American Leviathan, and it details how the left is

00:06:49.000 replacing our constitutional republic with a totally corrupt administrative state.

00:06:56.000 Like I always say, guys, there is no money in peace.

00:07:00.000 And this book lays out just how true all of that really is, who the real decision makers

00:07:07.000 are.

00:07:08.000 We'll also have iconic conservative filmmaker Dinesh D'Souza, who has a new movie out, Vindicating

00:07:14.000 Trump, that tells the story of the left's lawfare like only Dinesh can.

00:07:20.000 So guys, make sure you're checking this out.

00:07:23.000 Make sure you read the books.

00:07:24.000 Make sure you check out the movies.

00:07:26.000 Make sure you're liking, sharing, subscribing, so that you never miss one of these major episodes.

00:07:32.000 The rest of big tech and the mainstream media will not tell you these things.

00:07:35.000 They are so stacked against us.

00:07:38.000 It feels like an insurmountable force.

00:07:41.000 So we have to work harder.

00:07:42.000 We have to work smarter to make sure we actually break through all of the noise that we can grow this movement so we can fight back, so we can take care of our country.

00:07:52.000 Remember, you can also go to Spotify and Apple Podcasts if you miss the show here on Rumble.

00:07:57.000 So for all of the top headlines we'll spotlight here on the show,

00:08:01.000 also go over, check out my news app, MXM News, like MXM, minute by minute, MXM,

00:08:07.000 where you can get the mainstream news without the mainstream bias.

00:08:11.000 But before we get to all of these guys, don't forget about some of our incredible sponsors,

00:08:17.000 the people who have the guts to go against the regime, to go against the cancel culture

00:08:22.000 that they most certainly face elsewhere, maybe not on Rumble,

00:08:26.000 but in general for supporting programming like this.

00:08:28.000 Go check out Tax Network USA.

00:08:32.000 Gotta ask yourself, are you receiving letters from the IRS claiming you owe back taxes,

00:08:36.000 or do you wanna protect yourself in case you do?

00:08:39.000 Because every day the IRS is sending out thousands of lien notices to hardworking Americans like yourself.

00:08:45.000 You're not going to get the Hunter Biden treatment, folks.

00:08:48.000 As penalties and interest fees pile up, the IRS gives you no clear path to resolution.

00:08:53.000 Do not speak to them on your own.

00:08:56.000 They are not your friends.

00:08:57.000 If you've seen more than one episode of Triggered right here, you'll know that.

00:09:01.000 You'll understand.

00:09:12.000 Wow, that's an aggressive one.

00:09:14.000 Ned Ryan.

00:09:14.000 like Tax Network, tnusa.com slash Don Jr.

00:09:19.000 All right.

00:09:35.000 Everybody thinks Leviathan, thinks the Old Testament creature, sea monster.

00:09:38.000 Well, the second definition is a political state tending to be a totalitarian one with a vast bureaucracy.

00:09:45.000 And I feel like we have gotten to this point with our administrative state, the American Leviathan, that it has become to the point where I'm not really sure representative democracy is truly accepted by many people in Washington, D.C.

00:09:59.000 I think they left it behind a long time ago.

00:10:03.000 Oh, 100%.

00:10:03.000 I mean, that's every day, right?

00:10:05.000 I mean, we're saving democracy by bastardizing democracy.

00:10:09.000 We're saving democracy by not allowing you to vote for the person you want to vote for, or we'll save democracy by installing a puppet candidate who hasn't actually won any votes because she can't win under the regular rules of our democracy.

00:10:22.000 I mean, it's...

00:10:24.000 It's mind-blowing, right?

00:10:25.000 Like, I wake up, I always say, like, I'm the star of The Truman Show, and I don't even realize it, right?

00:10:29.000 Like, I'm waiting for a camera to fall out of the ceiling and hit me in the face, because, like, it has to be a joke, and yet, it's not.

00:10:36.000 So, I had this conversation with your dad a couple years ago.

00:10:40.000 We were sitting in Bedminster.

00:10:41.000 I said, you know, sir, What this all comes down to is you showed up in January of 2017, and as the duly elected President of the United States, and essentially declared, I'm the one who decides.

00:10:52.000 I'm the one who got elected by the American people, I decide a lot of the domestic and foreign policy, and the administrative state, and the Democrats, quite frankly a lot of establishment Republicans, all bolstered by the corporate propaganda said, no, we don't think you decide, we think we decide.

00:11:07.000 And for having the temerity to say, I reject the premise that the unelected bureaucrats are the ones who set policy, that as the duly elected representative of the American people, I decide you were treated as a traitor to your country.

00:11:19.000 And I think that's the real problem, Don.

00:11:21.000 What we're seeing now, and I tell people all the time, Russiagate, Ukrainian quid pro quo, lawfare, all of these things that are taking place between your dad and them over the last 10 years, really boils down to two things.

00:11:35.000 Who decides and who governs?

00:11:37.000 And it's really Constitutional Republic versus Administrative State.

00:11:41.000 That's what you're seeing play out.

00:11:42.000 Cut everything else away.

00:11:43.000 Those are the fundamental issues at stake right now.

00:11:46.000 Oh, I think without question.

00:11:47.000 I mean, you know, when I used to have that conversation with him, and I think when it was starting, I'm like, he's like, no, I told these guys to do X, Y, Z, and man, they're just slow.

00:11:55.000 And at first he was like, he's just maybe, hey, they're government bureaucrats.

00:12:00.000 Most of them, honestly, most of the people in government, not that smart.

00:12:03.000 They're just good at being bureaucrats.

00:12:04.000 It's sort of like Fauci.

00:12:05.000 He was never a great doctor, but he was better at snaking others.

00:12:08.000 He knew how to play that game better.

00:12:09.000 So you can maintain power.

00:12:11.000 You don't actually have to be that talented.

00:12:13.000 You just have to have a sort of level of viciousness.

00:12:16.000 Uh, and so, you know, I think at first we were like, maybe they're just slow.

00:12:20.000 Like, we're used to the real world where like, you know, if I work for him and he tells me to do something, if it's not done in 10 minutes or however long, you know, faster than it's supposed to take to get the task done, if it's not done, he's calling me like, what's going on?

00:12:31.000 Why is it taking so long?

00:12:32.000 I think in Washington for a while, it was just like, well, maybe they're just slower.

00:12:37.000 And then, you know, there's, you know, it's not, they intentionally slow played it or they, Forgot to handle it, you know, and, you know, hopefully we just run out the clock.

00:12:46.000 And I think that's what scares them about a second term.

00:12:49.000 Yeah, no, that's one of their favorite tactics, but this is the whole point.

00:12:53.000 And the reason, one of the reasons I wanted to write the book, not only to show people really what took place over the last 10 years, it's really kind of this clash of governing philosophies that's been building for a while.

00:13:03.000 But Don, that was the whole point from day one with this administrative state.

00:13:06.000 Because progressives, first of all, progressives hate the Constitution.

00:13:09.000 They really do.

00:13:09.000 They hate the moral and political authority of the U.S.

00:13:11.000 Constitution.

00:13:12.000 They hate the republic that came out of it, especially the diffusion of power, the separation of powers.

00:13:17.000 But more importantly, what they put in place, in place of the constitutional republic, an administrative state, They were only interested in one separation, and that was separating out the administrative state with its unelected bureaucrats from any political accountability, so much to the point that they wanted those unelected bureaucrats to be the decision makers, to be the ones governing.

00:13:37.000 That was the point the whole time with them.

00:13:39.000 And so people show up and go, Yeah.

00:13:41.000 You're supposed to be working in a government of, by, and for the people.

00:13:44.000 The duly elected representative of the American people has a vision that he

00:13:47.000 clearly laid out on domestic and foreign policy, like, no, no, we decide.

00:13:51.000 And that's, but that's the point.

00:13:52.000 That's how it's always been.

00:13:54.000 And it took the great outsider, Donald J.

00:13:57.000 Trump, to show up and go, wait a minute.

00:14:00.000 Because, Don, a lot of presidents, I would say every president since Reagan, including George H.W.

00:14:06.000 Bush and George W. Bush, accepted the premise that this was legitimate.

00:14:10.000 And their only problem with it was that they weren't running it.

00:14:13.000 And your dad shows up and goes, no, I reject the premise.

00:14:16.000 This has nothing to do with the Republic.

00:14:18.000 It has nothing to do with representative democracy. 0.89

00:14:20.000 And they're like, you're a traitor to your country.

00:14:23.000 What? 0.96

00:14:24.000 What are we doing here? 0.99

00:14:26.000 I think you're a traitor to our country, guys.

00:14:29.000 You're the one that are running roughshod about our founding principles, but you're right. 0.94

00:14:34.000 He didn't just accept that.

00:14:35.000 They couldn't handle it.

00:14:36.000 The real problem I have with all of it, and again, as someone who I mean, in any reasonable terms, was the number two target of Russia, Russia, Russia. 0.88

00:14:46.000 You know, right?

00:14:47.000 I understand.

00:14:47.000 I will say I understand.

00:14:48.000 I'm not the upstanding citizen that Hunter Biden is, but if I took one penny from Russia or China, it would be a problem.

00:14:54.000 Not billions and not from oligarchs and sex trafficking money and this money.

00:14:58.000 You know, again, it's just different.

00:15:00.000 I'm fine with that.

00:15:00.000 I'm willing to fight that battle.

00:15:01.000 That's OK.

00:15:02.000 Right.

00:15:03.000 But with him, it was just it's amazing how so many accepted.

00:15:08.000 So I always say This was actually long gone.

00:15:12.000 What we believed America to be was long gone way before my father.

00:15:16.000 It was just the visceral reaction to him not just accepting that the president himself in the United States, the duly elected president, is just a puppet within a far greater unelected bureaucracy.

00:15:29.000 Yes.

00:15:29.000 That was enough to spur all of that.

00:15:31.000 If he just went along with it, like they probably let it, leave him alone and fine.

00:15:34.000 You can do a couple of things here on trade.

00:15:35.000 You can do a couple of, you know, just, you know, as long as you don't let us, you know,

00:15:39.000 make us stop our never-ending wars, where we all have our board seat at Raytheon

00:15:43.000 so we can send missiles into countries for God knows what reason, you know, everything will be

00:15:49.000 fine.

00:15:49.000 And so I say today, when people are like, why do you do what you do?

00:15:52.000 It's like, well, cause I'm fighting to create America I always believed existed, but it hasn't,

00:15:57.000 at least in half a century, probably longer.

00:16:01.000 It's not to preserve an America that I know and love.

00:16:04.000 That was missing.

00:16:05.000 And I think he just filled in a lot of those blanks as to exactly what's happened.

00:16:09.000 Yeah, no, I make the point that .

00:16:13.000 What your dad is trying to do is restore.

00:16:17.000 It's a restoration process.

00:16:18.000 Like, hey, we'd like to have a republic restored.

00:16:20.000 We'd like to have a representative democracy restored.

00:16:24.000 We'd like to have all the rights of the American people restored.

00:16:27.000 And he believes, and again, call me crazy because of our founding principle, That in a government of, by and for the people, the people give to their duly elected representatives, they make them the stewards of the power and money given to them by the American people, to create a government that every day, Don, is supposed to be advancing and protecting the interests of the American people, and that the American people, another shocking thing that your dad has proposed,

00:16:51.000 That the American people should be first and last in all things. 1.00

00:16:54.000 Trade, immigration, all of these things.

00:16:57.000 And permanent DC, the administrative state, said, huh?

00:17:00.000 That's not how it works.

00:17:01.000 It hasn't worked that way for decades.

00:17:03.000 What are you talking about?

00:17:05.000 And your dad is trying to communicate to the American people, I actually believe that this is supposed to be a government of, by, and for the people.

00:17:12.000 And we lost that vision decades and decades ago.

00:17:17.000 So, Ned, what's the deal with the devil that the media in Washington, D.C.

00:17:23.000 and in general are so complicit in these scandals?

00:17:26.000 Meaning, if you were an enterprising journalist and you just exposed some of these things, if you just went after it, Man, that's the stuff that Pulitzers are made of. 0.64

00:17:35.000 Instead, they get Pulitzers for literally lying about Russia, Russia, Russia.

00:17:38.000 They get wonderful reporting.

00:17:40.000 I go, how do you maintain that Pulitzer Prize when it's been all disproven?

00:17:44.000 Like, was the writing that good?

00:17:46.000 I mean, I guess they're writing fiction, so, you know, it's a problem.

00:17:50.000 But, you know, from the soft coverage of Kamala Harris, from blaming my father for his own assassination, you know, Some of these things are stretches, but how does all of that relate to the themes in American Leviathan?

00:18:04.000 Because I think, you know, the two feed off of each other, and yet, again, as a guy that just understands, like, you know, opportunities in markets, as a business guy, I'm like, you'd think there'd be a great opportunity taking some of that on and being, like, the only person in thousands catering to people who actually want to know what's going on in their country.

00:18:23.000 Not interested in that because, well, first of all, this feels like a new thing that has happened with the corporate propagandists.

00:18:31.000 I write in the book on, I'm starting to really think that Watergate and Russiakate are two sides of the same coin.

00:18:38.000 In which Nixon ran on his re-election campaign was about, we're going to break apart the administrative state, resounding electoral college victory, and then the next thing you know, a deep state surveillance state official is meeting with two corporate propagandists in a parking garage to spin a narrative to bring down the duly elected president of the United States who they feel is an existential threat to their way of life.

00:19:00.000 Yeah.

00:19:01.000 Fast forward to Russiagate, same thing.

00:19:04.000 Why are they not being honest with the American people?

00:19:08.000 Because that's the point of a free press.

00:19:10.000 Obviously, First Amendment, a free press, supposed to be honest to provide transparency to the American people for them to make better decisions.

00:19:17.000 Not happening at all.

00:19:19.000 Why are they doing this?

00:19:20.000 Well, first of all, they adhere to the same worldview as the administrative state actors.

00:19:24.000 Big tech, big governments, the corporate propagandists, big press, they all went to the same indoctrination centers of higher learning.

00:19:31.000 They adhere to the same worldview that somehow your betters, the educated elite, are the ones that should be making the decisions. 0.96

00:19:37.000 We've already made these decisions for you, you dirty little peasants. 0.96

00:19:41.000 You need to know what's best for you, and if you don't accept it, And they see an existential threat like your dad. 0.94

00:19:47.000 It is a high swarm, whether it's from government or the corporate propagandists or big tech.

00:19:53.000 This is an existential threat to the status quo that we have power in.

00:19:59.000 And you're talking about returning basically power to the people.

00:20:04.000 Yeah.

00:20:04.000 know. So I think part of it's just they're on the same page with everybody and they view themselves

00:20:09.000 as a protection against anybody that might be seen as a threat. I view the DOJ and the FBI that way,

00:20:16.000 just to be clear. I view them as a perpetratory guard of the administrative state.

00:20:20.000 I stopped giving them a pass a long time ago when they started electing Amish farmers, 1.00

00:20:23.000 arresting Amish farmers for selling unpasteurized milk. But literally every person that's either 1.00

00:20:28.000 tried to shoot up my father or shot up a crowd or whatever it is, you know, has been on their radar.

00:20:32.000 But, you know, they check a couple of woke boxes so we can't actually do something about it.

00:20:36.000 I mean, uh, you know, I always, you know, sort of, I used to give this sort of the pass to the door kickers because I feel like so many of them are sort of left behind.

00:20:44.000 But like, there comes a point where I'm like, the door kickers, like, Hey guys, when you watch this stuff being so bastardized, when you're weaponized against your, like, somebody, like, I get it.

00:20:52.000 It's your job, it's your pension, like, eventually someone has to come up and speak out.

00:20:56.000 A couple whistleblowers do that.

00:20:58.000 They get sent up to, like, you know, to Guam.

00:21:02.000 No one stands up for them.

00:21:03.000 You know, every, every whistleblower that was against Donald Trump was like, you know, the holy deity, they were beyond reproach.

00:21:10.000 And yet, you know, a whistleblower that points out all of these discriminatory things,

00:21:14.000 the flagrant violations of our rights and constitutions, it's like, you're fired.

00:21:18.000 It's like, well, you can't do that.

00:21:19.000 It's like, yeah, we can, because we can.

00:21:21.000 And it doesn't matter if it doesn't follow the rules, we can bend the rules to our wishes.

00:21:25.000 But your Nixon example was the best one, because, you know, before I became sort of a student

00:21:30.000 of this stuff, it was the same thing.

00:21:31.000 It was like, well, Richard Nixon, how are you?

00:21:33.000 Oh, he was a, like, you go back, it was like, wow, every decision, like, he was one of our best presidents,

00:21:37.000 probably, in existence.

00:21:38.000 Like, he was the most popular, had some of the most incredible victories,

00:21:43.000 took on so many of the things that I think my father's trying to take on right now, and yet.

00:21:47.000 You know, in the lens of, like, I was not really born, you know, I was barely alive or cognizant, even what I know, even if someone who's sort of, let's call it, been really red-pilled, it was like, I didn't know until, like, I went to the Nixon Library, because I had a book event, I went there, I was like, he did that?

00:22:02.000 Like, wait a minute, I thought that was this guy!

00:22:04.000 He did that?

00:22:05.000 He was a really impressive guy, like an amazing president. 0.96

00:22:08.000 He got screwed by that deep state. 0.91

00:22:10.000 It's the same playbook.

00:22:12.000 It is, and in researching this book and writing this book, I have come to the conclusion, Don, we should probably re-examine a lot of our 20th century U.S.

00:22:21.000 government history, political history, on a whole host of fronts, because the progressive propagandists through the last century have really manipulated, I think,

00:22:31.000 a lot of things in regards to the education system.

00:22:33.000 Obviously, the corporate propagandists in presenting a narrative to the American people

00:22:37.000 might not actually have anything to do with the truth.

00:22:40.000 But back to the DOJ and the FBI.

00:22:42.000 Our founders did not trust human nature.

00:22:45.000 They didn't trust themselves.

00:22:47.000 So that's why they wanted the diffusion and separation of powers.

00:22:50.000 What happens when progressives put their administrative state in place is you have unelected, consolidated power with unaccountable bureaucrats doing the governing at a certain point.

00:23:02.000 Because we do often what we can, not what we should as human beings.

00:23:05.000 It tends to become authoritarian.

00:23:06.000 You will do what I say.

00:23:08.000 You will submit.

00:23:09.000 And if you don't, there'll be consequences.

00:23:11.000 And this is the problem that I have right now, among many, with the administrative state of, if you're unelected, there's no accountability.

00:23:19.000 You've consolidated all this power.

00:23:21.000 We've got a real problem in this country.

00:23:23.000 And I say this in all seriousness.

00:23:25.000 I think the greatest existential threat To our freedom in the immediate, it's not Russia, it's not China, it is an out-of-control administrative state, the American Leviathan, that has decided, we are making the decisions, we know what's best for you, because the state is salvation.

00:23:42.000 One more thing I want to make on this point.

00:23:45.000 In progressives' thinking, they thought the administrative state was going to be salvation for all of society and for mankind.

00:23:50.000 If the state is salvation, The state should be in every aspect of your life.

00:23:54.000 So people go, why is government continue to grow?

00:23:56.000 Why is it out of control?

00:23:58.000 That's the point.

00:23:58.000 They don't believe in God.

00:23:59.000 That's their new deity.

00:24:00.000 It evolves.

00:24:01.000 It goes from Greta Thunberg to Fauci as Lord priest of COVID to Zelensky as the priest of Ukraine for some reason.

00:24:10.000 It is their religion.

00:24:11.000 It's built into their DNA, the administrative state of its salvation.

00:24:15.000 Growth is perpetual, because why would you ever want to limit salvation?

00:24:17.000 And at the same time, they truly did believe, and it's a warped worldview, they would lead to the perfection of mankind, that we'd somehow reach some state of deification in the here and now.

00:24:28.000 You read the writings of these progressives, you think they're deluded madmen, but here we are.

00:24:32.000 And I would argue, and I think I've seen enough empirical evidence over the last decade, That we're actually living out the dream of the progressives with their administrative state, with the unelected bureaucrats thinking they're deciding, and not a truly representative democracy in a constitutional republic.

00:24:46.000 And one of the reasons I wanted to write this book, too, because the publisher said, hey, we're going to do a hardback in January of 25.

00:24:52.000 Like, that's not soon enough.

00:24:53.000 I prefer paperback now.

00:24:55.000 Because I think one of the key issues in the 2024 elections, Don, is what are we actually going to do with this administrative state if and when, hopefully praying when, your dad takes office again January of 2025 as the head of the executive branch where most of the administrative state resides.

00:25:13.000 He begins a plan to dismantle and devolve the administrative state and return power back to the people.

00:25:17.000 Yeah.

00:25:18.000 Well, I mean, so, it's all part of that, right?

00:25:22.000 The media, they rush to sort of memory hole all the attacks against conservatives.

00:25:26.000 I have a feeling if someone tried killing Biden, or if they tried killing even Barack Obama, who's no longer a president, it wouldn't be out of the news in three days.

00:25:34.000 I mean, so many Americans forget that Steve Scalise was shot by a radical leftist Bernie Sanders supporter.

00:25:40.000 Rand Paul was attacked. 0.97

00:25:42.000 And again, both by deranged left-wing lunatics. 0.95

00:25:45.000 The media doesn't want to talk about that violence coming from the left wing, just like they don't want to talk about violence coming from people of the trans community. 0.91

00:25:53.000 And you see the shootings, you see the mass killings, and I'm like, again, as a population that makes up like 0.02% of the world, I'm like, I don't know, I'd say it's the most radical, most violent per capita movement out there.

00:26:07.000 Are they just complicit with all of these things?

00:26:09.000 Yes!

00:26:10.000 Yeah, yeah, no.

00:26:11.000 Again, it goes back to holding on to power, similar worldviews, anything they view as a threat, we will attack.

00:26:18.000 No, and again, the First Amendment, free and honest press to provide transparency for the American people to make better decisions in regards to who's doing the right things and governing us, everything has been so warped and twisted over the last hundred years that it's hard to see that our founders would envision This as the press that they were thinking about back in 1787 as they're putting together a constitutional republic.

00:26:42.000 So, you know, in the last chapter, I deal with reform items that a powerful executive with the political courage, like your dad, as head of the executive branch can put into place.

00:26:50.000 And I also talk about the press and some of the things that I think need to be done to reform what is going on currently with our corporate propaganda is because none of this, in my mind, is working like the founders thought it should.

00:27:04.000 Yeah, and again, that's one of those tough subjects, right?

00:27:07.000 Because I mean, I'm sort of a free speech absolutist.

00:27:09.000 It doesn't mean there's not consequences to those free speech.

00:27:11.000 And maybe that's what this is.

00:27:12.000 If you're functioning as a journalist, but you're effectively lying and putting your weight on the scale, is that really free speech?

00:27:22.000 Or do you have to just disclose that you're doing these things?

00:27:26.000 The DNC, I remember during the DNC, they're paying all these kids on TikTok to say that they're for Kamala Harris.

00:27:31.000 They probably couldn't pick Kamala Harris out of a lineup. 1.00

00:27:35.000 I'm saying, well, they're paying them, but they don't have to disclose that.

00:27:37.000 But if I do a paid ad campaign for a corporation and I just don't disclose that I'm getting paid, they fine Kim Kardashian millions of dollars for doing that.

00:27:48.000 And yet, hey, if it's for our political benefit, we're going to just let these rules slide.

00:27:52.000 Why should it be any different?

00:27:54.000 I think one of the great lies that has been told to the American people that somehow the media are purely objective, we're just trying to communicate the truth to the American people.

00:28:04.000 It used to be back in the day that newspapers would be known as a Republican newspaper or a Democrat newspaper.

00:28:10.000 There was no question what a newspaper was and what they were trying to communicate.

00:28:14.000 It'd be really nice in some ways if we got back to that, Don, where we could just say, okay, that's the Democrat newspaper, like the New York Times.

00:28:20.000 Yeah.

00:28:21.000 You know, that's the Republican newspaper.

00:28:24.000 Just be open and honest.

00:28:25.000 And just see where people really fell.

00:28:27.000 Like I see ABC News, the wonderfully and unbiased moderators of the last debate, and they got

00:28:31.000 100% positive Kamala Harris coverage since she became the presumptive nominee and 93%

00:28:37.000 negative for my father.

00:28:39.000 And I'm saying, you know, I don't recall any journalist being fans of Kamala Harris prior

00:28:45.000 to her being like, well, now she could be president. 1.00

00:28:47.000 So we got to come in and just go to bat for her.

00:28:49.000 I mean, she was widely known as the most radical leftist in the United States Senate. 0.97

00:28:53.000 That was by every organization out there.

00:28:56.000 Most thought she was rather incompetent. 1.00

00:28:59.000 We're very vocal about that.

00:29:00.000 Many said, you know, a lot worse than all of that.

00:29:03.000 And yet then she became the guy that's taken on Trump.

00:29:06.000 And it's all right.

00:29:06.000 Well, now Now, her political journey started three weeks ago.

00:29:10.000 We have no idea what she's ever thought about any issue, despite years in politics.

00:29:15.000 No failures, despite being an attorney general, despite being in the Senate for years, despite all of these things, despite being, you know, the borders are.

00:29:22.000 Like, she has no failures.

00:29:24.000 She gets a clean slate to start from.

00:29:26.000 She's going to be the moderate.

00:29:27.000 She's going to be moderate.

00:29:28.000 Very moderate. 1.00

00:29:29.000 I mean, is anyone that stupid anymore, though? 1.00

00:29:32.000 I see the Joy Blitzkrieg going kaput. 1.00

00:29:35.000 You can see it in the numbers, Don?

00:29:36.000 No, I mean, I think there's two polls and I, listen, I love a good poll, but polls are kind of snapshots of that might or might not be true in the future.

00:29:45.000 I want to talk about the real numbers that I pay attention to, but let's just say, let's look at these numbers.

00:29:49.000 Quinnipiac, Joe Biden up September of 2020 by 10 points over your dad.

00:29:54.000 Your dad's up one now over Kamal.

00:29:56.000 11-point change in that same poll number.

00:29:59.000 And Quinnipiac is not a favorable Republican poll, so that should be pretty earth-shattering to a lot of people.

00:30:04.000 Yeah, there's no joy.

00:30:04.000 When I go to McDonald's and I have my 10-year-old at the time and my 14-year-old, and it was $48 for me and two kids.

00:30:11.000 You know what, there's not joy in that.

00:30:12.000 People don't have joy.

00:30:13.000 If I have sticker shock at McDonald's, it's a problem for the rest of the country.

00:30:17.000 I promise you.

00:30:18.000 Well, think about the Gallup poll.

00:30:20.000 The electorate, in their mind, is now plus-three Republican.

00:30:24.000 I can't remember the last time it was that way.

00:30:26.000 It's been decades.

00:30:27.000 So, I think people are starting to go, well, first of all, can I just say, I think some people are watching one debate, and the Normies and Independents were watching another debate with the ABC, and again, ABC totally rigged, moderated.

00:30:41.000 I kind of wish your dad had just said to Muir and the gal, Davis, why don't you guys just get up from behind there and go stand behind the podium with Kamala?

00:30:50.000 Because that's reality.

00:30:51.000 That would be an honest debate.

00:30:53.000 You're not being objective.

00:30:54.000 But I think the normies and independents were watching that debate, and you can see it reflected the numbers.

00:30:59.000 They heard what they wanted to, and you saw 6 out of 10 undecideds, 60% going towards your dad, not Kamala, because she has no answers.

00:31:09.000 She has no solutions.

00:31:10.000 And they know that life under your dad was much better for four years.

00:31:15.000 And I think that reality is kicking in.

00:31:16.000 So corporate propaganda is going to try and prop up this empty suit.

00:31:20.000 They're going to try and somewhat hide the ball.

00:31:22.000 I mean, the Stephanie ruled. 0.99

00:31:24.000 That wasn't even an interview.

00:31:26.000 Oh, it's brutal.

00:31:26.000 It was embarrassing.

00:31:28.000 This woman doesn't know anything. 0.92

00:31:29.000 And then what she's doing is she's adapting all of our policies and being like, I'm going to do this.

00:31:34.000 It's contrary to everything she's ever done, right?

00:31:36.000 She wants to do an assault weapons ban, but I'm not against guns.

00:31:39.000 She wanted to do mandatory.

00:31:41.000 Mandatory.

00:31:41.000 The key word in this is mandatory buyback programs for guns.

00:31:44.000 That's not someone that's pro-gun if she won't get fact-checked. 0.94

00:31:47.000 You saw what they did with fracking and American Energy the last time around.

00:31:50.000 The Democrat primary stage, everyone raises their hand.

00:31:53.000 Then they lie to the American public during the private.

00:31:56.000 No, we would never do that.

00:31:56.000 Then on day one, they do Keystone Pipeline.

00:31:58.000 They'll tell you whatever you want to hear.

00:32:00.000 I mean, I heard today or this week, I guess, that she came out.

00:32:04.000 Now she's going to be in favor of crypto.

00:32:06.000 I would pay like a billion dollars to watch her explain like crypto and blockchain technology. 1.00

00:32:11.000 Like I would actually pay good money to let her debate my 15 year old son on the topic because she doesn't know.

00:32:17.000 She's just like, wow, that's a block of people we should probably cater to. 1.00

00:32:21.000 Like, does anyone in crypto space in any of that like believe that like the most regulatory human being

00:32:27.000 in the history of the potential presidency is gonna be good for crypto?

00:32:30.000 Like no way, they'd never give up that kind of control.

00:32:32.000 It's why they haven't yet.

00:32:34.000 Yeah, no, and I would argue too, part of the administrative state,

00:32:37.000 despite this, in addition to the surveillance state, the deep state, the regulatory state,

00:32:42.000 which is part of the administrative state is crushing our economic freedom.

00:32:45.000 And I think it's a national security threat.

00:32:47.000 But going back to, they can't be honest about their issues.

00:32:51.000 Do you really want Kamala sitting on national television talking about her plans for price control, Soviet-style price control policies? 0.92

00:32:58.000 Well, Matt, I, too, had a nice lawn growing up.

00:33:02.000 I tried this with Jesse Watters.

00:33:03.000 That can't be your answer to every question that you don't give an answer to.

00:33:07.000 That's all you got?

00:33:08.000 Come up with another one!

00:33:09.000 I tried this with Jesse Watters last week.

00:33:10.000 I can guarantee you I've mowed more lawns than Kamala Harris.

00:33:13.000 I can assure you of that, okay?

00:33:15.000 And I understand what my last name is.

00:33:16.000 Because my father made me do those jobs because we build stuff.

00:33:19.000 It's nuts.

00:33:21.000 I tried it with Jesse Waters last week.

00:33:23.000 I'm not sure he was fully amused when he asked me a question.

00:33:25.000 I said, I, too, was raised in the middle class, Jesse.

00:33:28.000 I have neighbors who love their lawns, and I have hopes and dreams and aspirations.

00:33:32.000 I went back and looked at the video.

00:33:33.000 You can kind of see his planes look really nice.

00:33:38.000 No, but back to how are we going to prevent these people from gaining power, abusing the administrative state even more, because then they'd be simpatico.

00:33:47.000 So back to the real numbers, and this to me is, I mean, I love commentating, I love writing books, my real job We're doing absentee ballot chase and early voting projects in four key states.

00:33:59.000 And I have been beating the drum on this.

00:34:01.000 We'll probably have about 1,500 people in Arizona, Nevada, Wisconsin, North Carolina.

00:34:06.000 People have asked, give us a positive message, Ned.

00:34:08.000 How do you think it's going to go?

00:34:09.000 I'm like, I love a good poll number.

00:34:11.000 Like I said, I think those are great numbers.

00:34:13.000 The real numbers are, what is your ballot universe in a given battleground state?

00:34:17.000 And what is the partisan registration advantage?

00:34:20.000 They're looking really good, those numbers, Don, in Arizona, Pennsylvania, all these different places.

00:34:26.000 Yeah.

00:34:26.000 And so people have asked, how are you going to change this?

00:34:29.000 Well, you have to have political power first.

00:34:31.000 Politics is policy.

00:34:32.000 Yeah.

00:34:33.000 We have to gain political power.

00:34:34.000 The next 40 days are all about your dad winning, hopefully getting the Senate and the House with people that will actually support him.

00:34:42.000 Yeah, like we need 54 Senate, not 51, because we have too many weaklings in the Senate that, you know, With senators like, let's say, Mitt Romney and some other senators from actually very conservative states that are rhino at best, it's amazing.

00:34:57.000 It's always the most conservative state that has the weakest senators.

00:34:59.000 It's crazy to me, but, you know, I guess the Democrats vote for the weak ones because they realize they're never going to get a Democrat, so you get stuck with a squish. 1.00

00:35:08.000 Exactly.

00:35:09.000 No, so it becomes one of those things.

00:35:11.000 How are we going to make change happen?

00:35:12.000 How are we going to actually get back to this head of the executive branch, your dad, in the White House?

00:35:17.000 Step one.

00:35:18.000 Step two, Supreme Court actually stepping up.

00:35:21.000 They did this this summer.

00:35:22.000 They said, you know what?

00:35:24.000 Chevron deference, we're not doing that anymore.

00:35:26.000 We're not going to let the SEC, the Security and Exchange Commission, have their private administrative law tribunals, unconstitutional, annihilates the Seventh Amendment.

00:35:34.000 So you're seeing cracks in the foundation of the administrative state.

00:35:37.000 But I think it's the American people.

00:35:38.000 I think, when I talk with the American people at American Majority Trainings, that we do constantly everywhere, they're trying to figure out, what is going on?

00:35:47.000 What is actually happening in D.C.

00:35:49.000 in this conflict?

00:35:51.000 Why is there such a visceral hatred of Donald Trump?

00:35:54.000 And I explain a little bit of what we've discussed, but I'm like, you can only bring about change if you guys actually engage.

00:36:00.000 And I'm not talking about- 100%.

00:36:03.000 Posting on Twitter, that's great, or X now, or Facebook, great.

00:36:07.000 Do you have a ballot?

00:36:09.000 If you're not gonna vote by mail, are you gonna vote first day, early voting starts?

00:36:14.000 Because, and then on top of that, I love, it's the Trump 47, get 10 people, get them to the polls, get them to have a plan.

00:36:22.000 And the fact that, the thing I love about what your dad is doing right now, and I mean this in all sincerity, he realizes the rules of the game.

00:36:28.000 And the rules of the game are, you know what, we do have absentee ballot.

00:36:33.000 Uh, voting.

00:36:33.000 We do have 50 days of early voting.

00:36:35.000 I'd love to have voter ID, same-day voting, paper ballots.

00:36:38.000 100%!

00:36:38.000 Like, everything logical that you see literally even in, like, socialist countries across Europe.

00:36:43.000 100%!

00:36:43.000 But, like, we have to recognize, like, they have set the rules.

00:36:47.000 Like, they, they are in charge.

00:36:49.000 These are, it's a federalist system.

00:36:50.000 They're done in the states.

00:36:51.000 The states that matter are controlled by Democrat legislatures.

00:36:54.000 Like, we have to play on the chessboard that they have set up.

00:36:57.000 We have to win there to actually effectuate change.

00:37:00.000 Because again, this stuff didn't happen overnight.

00:37:03.000 It's been years we sat there indifferent.

00:37:05.000 We saw, I mean, Congress last week, they passed a spending bill,

00:37:08.000 you know, that lasts until December 20th.

00:37:10.000 So that there's just enough time, just enough time for Joe Biden to pass another big thing

00:37:16.000 for a trillion dollars to give to, you know, a big omnibus before Christmas

00:37:20.000 that they can just stick on Trump.

00:37:22.000 We can keep the inflation going because they're going to do it.

00:37:24.000 But that's what they're doing.

00:37:25.000 I mean, they're playing a game.

00:37:27.000 And many Republicans are complicit in this.

00:37:30.000 This to me is so first of all, I think too many American people have been asleep in the light.

00:37:35.000 Yeah.

00:37:36.000 I think too many Republicans, as you're saying, in these red states have have been not as engaged in a primary vote as they should be.

00:37:44.000 A party is what people say it is, Don, and the people who say what it is are those that show up and win primaries and those that show up at conventions.

00:37:52.000 I would love to say that I came up with that quote myself.

00:37:54.000 In fact, I'm quoting a communist from the 1970s who said the communists should actually join the Democratic Party.

00:38:01.000 That's what we need to have the mindset of changing the Republican Party to the essence of America first.

00:38:07.000 But the only way you do that is win primaries, show book conventions.

00:38:11.000 And then Donald J. Trump might actually have a majority America first in the Senate, might have a majority America first in the House.

00:38:20.000 Until he gets those, he's going to have to fight alone for the most part.

00:38:23.000 But as an executive, as head of the executive branch, he could do a lot of damage.

00:38:26.000 But I would really like, Don, to have a U.S.

00:38:29.000 House.

00:38:30.000 That actually decides we have the purse strings.

00:38:33.000 We're going to starve the beast.

00:38:35.000 This is one of my biggest frustrations.

00:38:37.000 Well, we just got to, we got to keep funding it.

00:38:39.000 I think it would be immoral to not fund this government.

00:38:42.000 That's the problem.

00:38:44.000 They're weaklings.

00:38:45.000 People are like, Don, like, how are you willing to fight?

00:38:47.000 I'm like, it's not that hard, man.

00:38:48.000 Like just like, I don't care.

00:38:50.000 Like when, you know, people like the New York times is doing a negative article on you.

00:38:53.000 They're like, well, What do you think?

00:38:55.000 I didn't even read it.

00:38:56.000 I could care less.

00:38:57.000 If they're writing a negative article about me, it means I'm over the target.

00:38:59.000 I don't care.

00:39:00.000 These guys, it's just an easy existence if you're a reliably... 0.90

00:39:05.000 Weak voter.

00:39:06.000 You know, you can be like 90% conservative in DC and you can get invited to a cool person party as long as when it actually matters.

00:39:12.000 That one time they really want it and it really matters to your people as long as you're willing to fold for whatever reason.

00:39:18.000 It's like, you can be conservative in DC.

00:39:21.000 It's not that hard. 0.96

00:39:22.000 To have like balls all the time, that's hard. 0.99

00:39:25.000 And that's why there's so few of them. 0.96

00:39:27.000 And the problem with most members of Congress is that they are experts in self-preservation.

00:39:32.000 Yeah.

00:39:33.000 This is the pinnacle of their career, Don.

00:39:34.000 That's why they'll never get term limits, because this is... I had that conversation... This is what they've always envisioned.

00:39:39.000 ...with Matt Gaetz.

00:39:40.000 You know, some guy gets into Congress, and, you know, he was a legislator, not getting paid.

00:39:43.000 He showed up to PTK meetings for years.

00:39:44.000 All of a sudden, you know, like, what was the Eddie Murphy movie?

00:39:48.000 You know, the name you know.

00:39:49.000 He gets into Congress, and he's like... 1.00

00:39:51.000 Wow, like, someone's kissing my ass. 1.00

00:39:53.000 Like, I get to be on TV. 1.00

00:39:55.000 I have no business being here, but I am never leaving.

00:39:58.000 I'm never going to risk it.

00:39:59.000 I'm never leaving.

00:40:00.000 So they do what it takes to stay, not what their people actually want.

00:40:04.000 And this is one of the other reasons that, again, just to kind of go back to some of the administrative state and everything that's wrong with D.C.

00:40:12.000 right now, the Article 1 legislative branch decided years ago, and I kind of pinpointed the book, late

00:40:18.000 1960s, early 70s, we're not going to really govern anymore, we're not going

00:40:21.000 to legislate, because we might actually have to make hard decisions that might endanger our re-election.

00:40:27.000 So we're going to pass these four or five thousand page bills, we're going to kind of

00:40:31.000 frame it out, and then we're not going to read it because that's not really the point.

00:40:34.000 We're going to send it to the unelected bureaucrats in the Article 2 branch, and with their statutes and regulations, they're going to put a fine point on it and do the actual governing.

00:40:42.000 It allows the elected officials to kind of duck the hard choices.

00:40:46.000 Then they can go back and tell their voters, You know, I tried, but it's that guy at the EPA or FDA or whatever department agency that really did that.

00:40:54.000 I'm gonna go, but you need to re-elect me so I can go back to D.C.

00:40:57.000 and fight for you on your behalf against these terrible regulations as they pass the bill, as they continue to fund them.

00:41:03.000 And again, it all comes back to, they love being in D.C., they love self-preservation, they love the whole lifestyle, and it is the pinnacle of their career, and they want to come back every two years or six years.

00:41:16.000 You're 100% right.

00:41:17.000 Ned, where can people find, obviously, American Leviathan, your book, that's great.

00:41:21.000 Where can they also find out about the programs you're doing in some of those four critical states?

00:41:24.000 Because again, RNC is not doing this.

00:41:27.000 It's like there are organizations that are backfilling.

00:41:29.000 I know Turning Point's doing that in Arizona and Wisconsin.

00:41:32.000 There's other organizations.

00:41:33.000 Sean Parnell in Pennsylvania and a couple others.

00:41:35.000 Obviously, Scott Pressler.

00:41:37.000 So we've broken out of that traditional mold of having Another somewhat slow and inefficient Leviathan actually making these moves and having it be done by nimble parties in those places who understand that backyard.

00:41:50.000 So that's a big deal.

00:41:51.000 Let us know how they can find that as well because that's important.

00:41:54.000 Yeah, AmericanMajorityAction.com is our website.

00:41:56.000 We've got permanent staff and then a ton of contractors in Arizona, Nevada, Wisconsin, North Carolina.

00:42:02.000 People can email us for information.

00:42:04.000 Do you want to become involved?

00:42:05.000 Because I've also gotten the point, Don, I've been doing this for 14 years in the field with American Majority Action.

00:42:10.000 We pay people, right?

00:42:11.000 We pay them to do doors, phones, texts, all that.

00:42:13.000 Data-driven, right?

00:42:15.000 Who has a ballot?

00:42:16.000 Who needs to go vote early? 0.94

00:42:18.000 And the whole point, the key point in this absentee ballot chase, you got to get to 80% plus.

00:42:22.000 of Republican or Republican-leaning independent ballots, and that's kind of a magic mark.

00:42:27.000 And my goal with this, in these battleground states, we know it's coming down to seven states,

00:42:31.000 I'm in four of them, if your dad can either be narrowly behind or in the lead in the ABEV vote

00:42:38.000 coming into election day, Republicans traditionally crush Democrats on election day.

00:42:42.000 If the narrative becomes that Donald Trump is in the lead and the data shows it in that ABEV,

00:42:49.000 he will crush them on election day, he will be re-elected to the White House, and we can begin

00:42:53.000 this restoration of a republic.

00:42:56.000 And the last thing I'll say is this, we have to restore the republic, but the first step, he talks about draining the swamp, your dad does.

00:43:02.000 The foundation of the swamp is the state.

00:43:05.000 If you break the state, you will drain the swamp, and you'll give us a shot to restore the republic.

00:43:11.000 I love it.

00:43:11.000 Ned, Ryan, thank you so much for joining us.

00:43:13.000 We really appreciate it.

00:43:14.000 Thanks, Don.

00:44:44.000 Here's the trailer.

00:44:45.000 Check it out.

00:44:46.000 Somebody has to help this country.

00:44:48.000 And if they don't, the country and the world are in big trouble.

00:44:51.000 Someone's got to overturn the tables in the temple.

00:44:54.000 Trump jumping into the presidential race.

00:44:59.000 She's a bit worried.

00:45:00.000 of the apprentice guy?

00:45:02.000 You know the feeling of power?

00:45:04.000 Could you handle it or would it devour?

00:45:06.000 Power.

00:45:08.000 They fear that power.

00:45:10.000 that power.

00:45:11.000 You didn't do an insurrection.

00:45:13.000 Had you called for one, there would have been one.

00:45:15.000 And there would be one if you called for one now.

00:45:17.000 I'm not sure I want that power.

00:45:18.000 I want the power just to make the country better.

00:45:20.000 America first!

00:45:22.000 And that scares them.

00:45:23.000 A lot about Donald Trump scares them.

00:45:25.000 Let's look at everything.

00:45:26.000 Campaign, his family.

00:45:27.000 Let's get foreign eyes on him.

00:45:30.000 We have one target.

00:45:31.000 You know who he is.

00:45:32.000 Going after their companies, their families.

00:45:34.000 That is a dictator.

00:45:36.000 It's a very dangerous time for our country.

00:45:38.000 The goal is to put him in jail because they're so afraid of his voice.

00:45:42.000 I am your voice!

00:45:44.000 We'll bury him so deep in legal, he'll bankrupt them.

00:45:47.000 Broke, got him.

00:45:48.000 In jail right before the election.

00:45:50.000 That's harsh for being that guy, but isn't that election interference?

00:45:54.000 It's not interference if we do it.

00:45:55.000 We just want a free and fair election.

00:45:58.000 Sounds expensive.

00:45:59.000 Ballots ain't cheap.

00:46:01.000 Wait, wait, wait.

00:46:02.000 Did you actually say the word buy the ballots?

00:46:04.000 We were able to purchase 10,000 ballots.

00:46:07.000 That's terrifying.

00:46:08.000 They cheat in many different ways.

00:46:10.000 That's all they're good at.

00:46:11.000 Ready to save democracy?

00:46:12.000 We need to stop him permanently.

00:46:14.000 And that person will be risking his life.

00:46:17.000 Too bad it's not the 60s, right?

00:46:22.000 It's the way you survived.

00:46:24.000 I said, get me up.

00:46:26.000 Trump has beaten back every attack against him. 1.00

00:46:29.000 He's like the damn Terminator. 0.99

00:46:30.000 We're gonna fix our borders, and we're gonna fix our elections. 1.00

00:46:34.000 We're gonna win.

00:46:36.000 Vindicating Trump.

00:46:37.000 The best is yet to come.

00:46:40.000 Only in theaters September 27th.

00:46:42.000 Guys, the film is in theaters now.

00:46:45.000 You can go to VindicatingTrump.com to learn more, to find out where you can see it.

00:46:52.000 Bring your friends, bring your loved ones, bring an Independent or even a Democrat who's not totally insane.

00:46:58.000 Bring them all so we can fight back and make sure that people understand exactly what is at stake this election.

00:47:06.000 Well guys, joining me now, great friend, director and producer of the new film, Vindicating Trump, Dinesh D'Souza.

00:47:14.000 Dinesh, thank you for being here.

00:47:18.000 You've been a real leading voice in exposing so much of the major corruption inside of our own government.

00:47:24.000 I mean, you did that with 2,000 mules.

00:47:28.000 Talk about Vindicating Trump.

00:47:31.000 Tell us the next chapter in documenting this corruption.

00:47:35.000 Well, the purpose of the film is to make the full-blown case for Trump, for your dad.

00:47:43.000 And because this is a case that needs to be made even to, I would call it, wavering Republicans.

00:47:51.000 You know, sometimes I'll hear these Republicans, and it's not just the Never Trumpers.

00:47:55.000 They'll go, well, you know, I don't like the guy, but I like his policies.

00:47:59.000 I've never heard this, Dinesh.

00:48:04.000 I don't know what you're talking about.

00:48:08.000 I'm not totally surprised that they hold back a little in saying it to you, but here's what I'm getting at.

00:48:13.000 These are people who somehow think that they know better than Trump.

00:48:17.000 They feel like they want to remake Trump.

00:48:19.000 They want to rehabilitate your dad.

00:48:22.000 And what I want to make the case for is that, no, Your dad, Trump, comes with a package of qualities that is peculiarly suited to the crisis and the challenges we face today.

00:48:36.000 Yes, you can make an argument that at some other time in American history, he's not the perfect guy, but for now, I think he's not just the perfect guy, but the only guy, and the film, and there's an accompanying book to come of the same title, makes the case for Trump without any kind of waffling or hesitation.

00:48:54.000 Yeah, you don't have to follow him on Truth Social.

00:48:57.000 You don't have to like everything that he says.

00:48:59.000 What you do have to recognize is...

00:49:02.000 We were safer under Trump. 1.00

00:49:04.000 We went from a time of peace to a time of war and four years under the stupid Harris-Biden regime. 0.99

00:49:12.000 We went from a time of prosperity to essentially poverty. 0.99

00:49:16.000 When were you better off?

00:49:18.000 When was the world in a better trajectory?

00:49:21.000 You may not love Trump, but maybe that personality is what kept dictators in check.

00:49:26.000 Maybe that's what stopped Putin from invading his neighbors.

00:49:30.000 Maybe that's what stopped radical terrorist groups from doing what they're doing in the Middle East.

00:49:34.000 You know, just maybe.

00:49:35.000 Maybe they understood and saw the resolve that we all witnessed on, you know, July 13th, coming back and fighting after getting shot in the face.

00:49:44.000 And they were like, you know what, that guy's kind of tough.

00:49:46.000 He proved it to the rest of the world, if there were any doubters, but...

00:49:49.000 Maybe you need that level of attitude.

00:49:51.000 Maybe we don't live in a world that, you know, everyone views through rose-colored glasses because it's just not realistic.

00:49:56.000 We'd love that to be the case, but, you know, we can't live in fantasy land.

00:50:01.000 You know, people would say sometimes of General Grant during the Civil War that, you know, this guy cusses a lot, he's a heavy drinker.

00:50:08.000 The point to make is that those qualities are part of a package that made Grant this kind of a pugnacious, never give up, always be moving forward.

00:50:18.000 An effective fighter on the battlefield.

00:50:21.000 And I think the same is true with Donald Trump.

00:50:24.000 This is a guy who has the supreme virtue of courage.

00:50:27.000 Now, we saw it obviously with the assassination attempts.

00:50:30.000 I mean, no other person that I can think of, not just in America, in the world, would have responded like your dad, which is, hey, number one, I'm a little annoyed that I'm being interrupted in my golf game.

00:50:41.000 I was about to make an amazing shot.

00:50:43.000 Number two, would have posted on social media zero for two.

00:50:47.000 We all know about your dad's instinctive bravery in the first assassination attempt, but I'd go beyond that.

00:50:53.000 I think any other Republican facing two criminal charges, let alone 91, would have exited the field, would be never heard from again.

00:51:02.000 And it's not just that your dad endures all this.

00:51:05.000 He forges forward.

00:51:07.000 I mean, he has such a rope-a-dope that he's managed somehow to frustrate multiple cases going on at the same time.

00:51:15.000 So he has what Aristotle calls the supreme virtue of bravery, which Aristotle says is the number one virtue.

00:51:22.000 It's the number one political virtue for sure, but it's the number one virtue in general because it gives you the strength to do all the other virtues.

00:51:30.000 Yeah, I think I saw it on Twitter or Truth Social this week. 0.99

00:51:35.000 Someone said Trump's superpower is that he has the ability to make his enemies look like morons. 1.00

00:51:42.000 You know, even in their own words, meaning they just can't react to them, that they look insane. 1.00

00:51:46.000 And you see Kamala Harris talking about Her economic plans, and can't answer a simple question, has no idea. 1.00

00:51:53.000 She's the candidate of change, but she's had four years to change, and every change has been for the worse.

00:51:59.000 It's sort of interesting, but yes, that takes guts, because there's consequences to being vocal.

00:52:02.000 There's consequences to speaking out against that machine.

00:52:05.000 The other thing about your dad, and you know this better than anyone else, but those of us who have had a glimpse of your dad up close know that he has personal qualities that very interestingly have not been seen by many people.

00:52:17.000 And I think because your dad is a man's man, he's sometimes a little reluctant to show those qualities.

00:52:23.000 So when I did the one-on-one with your dad, you know, 45 minutes, I wanted to sit really close up to him because I wanted to draw an aspect out of him that I think is very attractive.

00:52:33.000 That people need to see but that your dad in some ways doesn't put on the public stage.

00:52:39.000 I think that's one of the real strengths of this film is it kind of shows the tumblers of your dad's mind working and it gives you a little bit of a window into your dad's soul.

00:52:47.000 I'm not trying to give you a kind of a different picture of Trump.

00:52:50.000 I'm just trying to round out the picture so people can see him in a sense as a whole.

00:52:56.000 Yeah, you're 100% right.

00:52:57.000 I actually say this.

00:52:58.000 I don't want to get in trouble.

00:52:59.000 I'll get a call from him later on tonight after this airs.

00:53:03.000 But I always say his biggest political liability is actually that he has a ton of empathy.

00:53:12.000 He cares for people.

00:53:13.000 He does stuff for them.

00:53:14.000 He pays for his surgery or this or whatever it may be.

00:53:17.000 He does this all the time.

00:53:18.000 There's a 40-year track record of it.

00:53:20.000 You hear the stories pop up every once in a while.

00:53:22.000 There were a couple that popped up last week after the Long Island rally.

00:53:25.000 And I'm like, I didn't even know that.

00:53:27.000 And it changed people's lives forever.

00:53:29.000 But when I'm like, why don't you talk about it?

00:53:31.000 No, no, no.

00:53:33.000 Yeah, I gotta go deal with Putin next week.

00:53:34.000 I can't have him think I'm soft.

00:53:36.000 I'm like, no, we gotta win suburban housewives.

00:53:39.000 You actually do all of this stuff.

00:53:42.000 You're not creating a fake story.

00:53:45.000 Kamala Harris worked at McDonald's.

00:53:47.000 There's never a pay stub.

00:53:48.000 There's not a photo.

00:53:49.000 There's no one that's worked with her for it, but she'll just say it.

00:53:52.000 You know, there are people that are out there saying you're doing these things and you won't even amplify it.

00:53:56.000 So it's, you know, I call it a political weakness because I think you need some of that.

00:54:00.000 People want to see some of that.

00:54:01.000 But he's like, no, man, we're on the brink of World War III.

00:54:04.000 I got to be an animal going into this thing.

00:54:05.000 And so it's funny that you notice that.

00:54:09.000 We have in this movie some really entertaining recreations because we have the DNC or the Democratic National Committee war room.

00:54:16.000 We have a media war room.

00:54:18.000 We show you what goes on inside the intelligence agencies.

00:54:20.000 And this is important because, you know, you and I might wonder, let's just say your dad is going through the New York, you know, 34 felony convictions.

00:54:28.000 Like, how is that received in the newsrooms of the New York Times?

00:54:32.000 So those guys just watch it with equanimity and go, We need to do objective coverage of that event.

00:54:37.000 Or do they jump up and cheer, high-five each other?

00:54:40.000 We did it, man!

00:54:41.000 Good work!

00:54:42.000 What does that look like?

00:54:43.000 What does that feel like?

00:54:44.000 The cool thing about a movie is you can show people those sorts of things.

00:54:48.000 And then, of course, there's an element in the film, a section called the ballot makers.

00:54:53.000 And I texted you about that this morning.

00:54:55.000 This is a very creepy part of the film because we're exploring vulnerabilities in our election system, and it turns out we do not protect our ballots the way that we protect, for example, our $20 or $100 bills.

00:55:08.000 Yeah, no, you were tweeting some of that about it, and it never ceases to amaze me.

00:55:12.000 But how did the whole film come together?

00:55:15.000 How did you put this together?

00:55:17.000 I obviously understand what you're trying to do, but who else may we hear from that wouldn't be the usual suspects, etc.? ?

00:55:25.000 Well, the main interview in the film is with your dad.

00:55:29.000 I did 45 minutes with your dad.

00:55:30.000 There's probably 20 to 25 minutes in the movie.

00:55:33.000 I interviewed Laura Trump both about the personal side of Donald Trump, but also about election integrity because of her position as co-chair of the RNC.

00:55:43.000 And I have a fairly detailed discussion with Alina Haba focusing on the legal cases, because the film is sort of divided into, well, we call it actually multiple assassinations.

00:55:54.000 Character assassination, number one.

00:55:56.000 Political assassination, which is the Russia collusion, trying to, the bogus attempt to frame your dad.

00:56:01.000 Business assassination?

00:56:02.000 Yeah, assassination on his wealth and his portfolio.

00:56:05.000 Then the legal assassinations, because if you try to lock a guy up for life, that's in a sense giving him a sort of death penalty.

00:56:11.000 And finally, the actual assassination attempts.

00:56:15.000 And so the film moves very rapidly.

00:56:18.000 I think you know from my other work, we try to make these films in a cinematic way.

00:56:22.000 They're perfect for the theater.

00:56:23.000 They're entertaining, but they're also informative and very moving.

00:56:27.000 And so I'm really delighted You know, right after COVID, even with 2,000 mules, I couldn't put it in the theater in the normal way.

00:56:33.000 I did theater buyouts.

00:56:35.000 But now this film is opening in 850 theaters, multiple showings a day, this weekend, and VindicatingTrump.com is the website.

00:56:44.000 If you go there, you can put in your zip code or your city, your town, boom, the theaters will come up.

00:56:48.000 So see it this weekend, because seeing a film in the opening weekend is like putting rocket fuel into the film.

00:56:55.000 It magnifies the film and goes into more theaters.

00:56:58.000 And, you know, I think, Don, these films are a way of doing an end run around the media.

00:57:04.000 I'm not the only guy making them these days, which I'm happy to say, but I think I make them as well, if not better than anyone else.

00:57:10.000 And this is a film to be seen this weekend, if you can possibly go with family and friends.

00:57:15.000 So, Dinesh, in all of your movies, you really do a great job of sort of laying out the left's attack on our, really, our most vital and perhaps our most vulnerable institutions, even if they shouldn't be vulnerable, but from the justice system to election offices to everywhere, you know, in between.

00:57:32.000 What is it about the America First movement that has these corrupt, broken, bad actors Pressing the panic button in such a way.

00:57:41.000 I mean, again, I don't think there's an objective metric where we're better off now than we were four years ago.

00:57:46.000 Why not say, hey, let Trump get it back to normal, you know, they can get back to, you know, their drive-through abortions in four years, whatever it is that they really care about, you know, transgender surgeries for three-year-olds without parental consent.

00:57:57.000 You know, what is it that has these people so panicked?

00:58:00.000 I think that your dad, I think that Trump exposed the fullness of the racket that has become American politics.

00:58:08.000 I've got to say that even in my early days, going back to the Reagan years, we were aware of the government racket in domestic policy.

00:58:15.000 We would talk about, for example, the housing department as a racket, or for example, the welfare programs were a racket.

00:58:22.000 But we made an exception for the Defense Department.

00:58:24.000 We thought, oh no, we're fighting a cold war, so even though they're buying $500 coffee pots, We're not going to worry about that too much because we've got to defeat the Russians. 0.86

00:58:31.000 I think what happened with your dad is he comes along and he shows that this corruption has metastasized so much that not only is it in foreign and domestic policy, but it's even in places like the health authorities.

00:58:43.000 I mean, who knew you couldn't trust the guys in the white lab coats when a pandemic comes along, but it turns out you can't.

00:58:50.000 I liken it to a kind of a big watering hole.

00:58:52.000 This is the swamp.

00:58:54.000 The Democrats have all the best positions at the swamp, but they make some room for some Republicans as well.

00:59:00.000 And so your dad comes along, I'm going to drain that swamp.

00:59:03.000 And all these guys go nuts because their whole livelihood, their whole prestige, the reason that there are cars waiting for them and people who open the door for them to get in is all because of their Position at the swamp.

00:59:16.000 They haven't made their own success.

00:59:18.000 They haven't made their own money.

00:59:19.000 So your dad is a very scary guy to these guys who have made a comfortable, got a comfortable racket going, and some of them are in the Republican Party.

00:59:30.000 I guess relating to all of that, how is it that my father can inspire sort of such radically opposite reactions to the point where it feels like there's some that are out there that would take a bullet for him and then there's others who would celebrate would-be assassins who actually try to take his life?

00:59:49.000 How do you create that level of dichotomy?

00:59:52.000 You'd have to go back to Lincoln to find a figure that inspired this sort of radically opposed reactions.

00:59:58.000 And even with Lincoln, the controversy was not over Lincoln.

01:00:01.000 It was not over the man.

01:00:02.000 It was over the issue, slavery.

01:00:04.000 But with your dad, it is over your dad.

01:00:06.000 It's over Trump.

01:00:07.000 Now, I think it could be explained.

01:00:09.000 It's explained in a fuller sense in the movie, but one image that I think helps us to get it in a glance is this.

01:00:14.000 You know, as well as anyone else, that iconic famous scene.

01:00:17.000 Of course, it's in the film.

01:00:19.000 Your dad is coming down the escalator to announce for president.

01:00:22.000 This is in 2015.

01:00:23.000 So I think of it this way.

01:00:26.000 You've got all the cultural elites at the top of the escalator.

01:00:29.000 You know, you've got Oprah, you've got Ellen DeGeneres, the Hollywood people, all the people who sucked up to your dad, wanted to be photographed with your dad, your dad was the coolest cat ever, he's the embodiment of the American dream.

01:00:39.000 And then your dad does a very fateful thing.

01:00:42.000 He gets on the escalator and he goes down, which is to say he descends.

01:00:46.000 Where does he descend to?

01:00:48.000 Well, down at the bottom, I envision the forgotten American.

01:00:51.000 The guy that politics has ignored this guy.

01:00:54.000 His job has gone overseas.

01:00:57.000 People have screwed him over.

01:00:58.000 This is a guy nobody cares about.

01:01:00.000 The Democrats don't care about him.

01:01:01.000 The Republicans haven't cared about him.

01:01:03.000 And here's your dad, who has no reason to care about this guy, but he does.

01:01:08.000 And he takes up the cause of this guy.

01:01:09.000 So I think you can see right away why the forgotten American is joined at the hip to your dad because your dad has agreed to champion his cause or her cause.

01:01:18.000 And at the same token, the people at the top, the cultural elite, they were like, wait a minute, you, Donald Trump, used to be one of us. 0.98

01:01:26.000 You are a traitor to your class. 0.93

01:01:28.000 You are selling us out and joining with all the pitchfork people and taking up their cause against us. 1.00

01:01:33.000 So I think right here in a single image, you get a little picture of why there are some people who love Trump and will stick by him no matter what.

01:01:41.000 And then you've got these begrudging, resentful, envious, hate-cultural elites that will never forgive your dad.

01:01:49.000 The same people who loved him now have turned against him.

01:01:53.000 So this film, Vindicating Trump, it's in theaters across the country.

01:01:57.000 Are you concerned about the usual cancel culture tactics or any kind of funny business?

01:02:03.000 And again, where can people go to find it?

01:02:06.000 Because again, I think it is important to get it out there.

01:02:10.000 You'll be out.

01:02:11.000 But how do people find it?

01:02:13.000 Are you going to make it available outside of theaters as well before the election so that, again, everyone has a chance to go see what exactly is going on?

01:02:20.000 It'll be available later, DVD.

01:02:21.000 It'll be available for streaming.

01:02:23.000 But right now, it's in the best place it should be, which is you can see it in the theater, and you can see it with like-minded people, and you'll go nuts.

01:02:29.000 I mean, very often at the end of my film, the whole theater erupts in applause.

01:02:33.000 This is gonna be the same.

01:02:35.000 It's in a lot of theaters, about 850, so it's all over the country.

01:02:39.000 You should be able to find it within 15 minutes, maybe 30 minutes at the most, even if you live in a rural area.

01:02:45.000 You can buy tickets any the which way.

01:02:46.000 You can get them at Fandango, all the normal movie sites, or just go to VindicatingTrump.com, that's the movie website, and you put in your zip code, your town, the theaters will come up, buy tickets straight off of that.

01:02:58.000 So we've made it easy for people to see the film.

01:03:00.000 And by the way, this is not like, it's not showing like one showing a day, multiple showings a day throughout the weekend.

01:03:07.000 So the theater is, it's made for the theater.

01:03:09.000 It's the best way to see it, but there'll be other ways to see it further down the road.

01:03:13.000 Does the film have a message, say, for independents, for people who, you know, maybe feel, you know, politically, you know, isolated or on an island, first-time voters, or, you know, honestly, even perhaps Democrats.

01:03:23.000 I mean, I would stress the safety and what's going on around the world.

01:03:26.000 You would think they would care, but, you know, maybe not.

01:03:29.000 The film makes both a policy case for Trump but also a character defense of Trump.

01:03:36.000 What it shows is that Trump is the guy to take on this tightening noose that is eroding and threatening and choking off one by one our basic liberties.

01:03:48.000 So this goes beyond the traditional Republican-Democrat fight over tax rates, or even over the border.

01:03:54.000 Because what we've seen is this kind of emerging police state.

01:03:57.000 It's not coming from Trump.

01:03:58.000 Trump did nothing tyrannical in his first term.

01:04:01.000 People shouted, lock her up! 1.00

01:04:02.000 But he didn't lock her up.

01:04:03.000 He didn't lock Hillary up.

01:04:05.000 But they're trying to lock him up.

01:04:06.000 The irony of all that, right?

01:04:07.000 Left and right.

01:04:09.000 Yeah.

01:04:09.000 Doesn't stop them from trying to lock him up, as they've shown.

01:04:11.000 But again, that's the typical Democrat projection we've gotten used to.

01:04:16.000 That is absolutely right.

01:04:18.000 So, you know, the nice thing about a film is that it appeals to the head and the heart.

01:04:22.000 And it tells a story.

01:04:24.000 It's not something that's heavy-handed.

01:04:25.000 It's not... See, the thing about it, Don, is if I were to tell you about, let's say, my childhood in India, you'd have no good sense of what that was like.

01:04:33.000 But if I showed you a video and said, there I am as a kid, that was my room.

01:04:37.000 That's the guy with the monkey who would come out on the street and do tricks.

01:04:40.000 These are the vendors who came shouting outside my door.

01:04:43.000 You'd be like, wow, I can see for myself what it was like for you to grow up.

01:04:47.000 So what a movie can do is it show, not tell.

01:04:50.000 And as a result, if you're an independent voter, I'm not in a heavy-handed way trying to sell you on something.

01:04:55.000 I'm just showing you Trump.

01:04:57.000 I'm like, you haven't seen Trump like this before.

01:05:00.000 Listen to him talk.

01:05:01.000 I'm going to pose interesting questions.

01:05:03.000 You get to sort of discover him straight out without the refracting filter and the distorting filter of the media.

01:05:10.000 So, Dinesh, obviously, you know, we're, you know, five weeks out, five and a half weeks out from an election.

01:05:16.000 I think you were a student of many of the games that were played last time.

01:05:21.000 Obviously, you did an entire movie, 2,000 Mules, about some of those couriers that were obviously manipulating ballots and doing that.

01:05:27.000 That was as clear as day.

01:05:31.000 Are you watching what's going on now?

01:05:32.000 Do you feel either we've done a decent job of trying to combat whatever that is?

01:05:38.000 Again, we tend to be more reactionary.

01:05:40.000 They're very creative.

01:05:41.000 They'll come up with another game that we haven't thought of, and then you have no standing two minutes after the election, even if it's clearly fraud.

01:05:48.000 What do you see this time around?

01:05:50.000 Can people feel confident that that stuff's not going on?

01:05:53.000 I mean, you know, I see so many people, you know, half of them are probably, you know, in in the comments or in the, you know, in the live chat right now.

01:06:01.000 You know, they're probably Democrats pretending to be so demoralized to get others to sit at home so they never show up.

01:06:06.000 Half the polling is designed to make you overconfident.

01:06:08.000 The other half is designed to have you be demoralized so you don't bother to vote.

01:06:13.000 Do you feel there's a handle on that?

01:06:14.000 Do you think it's harder for them to get away with it in a post-COVID world?

01:06:21.000 Is there a pitfall that you see that we're not covering?

01:06:24.000 I'd love to get your thoughts on that, because I imagine that's going to be a question that's on top of people's minds.

01:06:28.000 Doesn't necessarily have anything to do with the movie, but as someone who's been a student of the fraud, you know, What do you think happens?

01:06:35.000 I mean, actually, Don, it's right there in the movie, and I'll say why.

01:06:39.000 Because I think that they cannot do the 2,000 mules cheat in exactly the same way again.

01:06:45.000 Why?

01:06:46.000 Because people know about it.

01:06:48.000 If mules show up at one o'clock in the morning looking left and right with backpacks full of ballots, they're going to be patriots waiting for them with cell phones turned on.

01:06:57.000 And so the Democrats know this.

01:06:58.000 They have to think of new ways to cheat.

01:07:00.000 So what I did in this film is I said to myself, all right, I'm going to put myself in the mind of the criminals.

01:07:05.000 I'm going to ask, if I were to do it, I can't rob Fort Knox the old way.

01:07:09.000 I need a new way to do it.

01:07:11.000 How would I do it?

01:07:12.000 How would we go about doing it?

01:07:14.000 And we have an explosive vulnerability of our election system, but my motive in exposing it and putting it out there It's to make it impossible for it to be carried out.

01:07:22.000 It's kind of like if I was saying, listen, I found a back door that is open in Fort Knox.

01:07:27.000 I'm going to show you that they don't lock this door on weekends.

01:07:30.000 But guess what?

01:07:31.000 Because I've told you that now, it's going to be much tougher for the bad guys to get away with it.

01:07:35.000 So this film has a section.

01:07:37.000 It is called, intriguingly, The Ballot Makers.

01:07:41.000 And that section alone is worth the price of the film.

01:07:43.000 But the film integrates that theme because, of course, All Republicans are concerned about the issue of election integrity after what happened in 2020.

01:07:52.000 Yeah, Hunter, I mean, I think, you know, a big part of them being able to get on TV and tell us it was the freest and fairest election, even if we, you know, have hundreds of thousands of ballots being mailed to homes and there's no idea, no nothing, you know, they can just say that and get away with it.

01:08:06.000 I think, you know, they did that effectively last time under the guise of COVID under this.

01:08:10.000 But a whole the whole premise of switching out Joe Biden wasn't that he was going to you know, just lose, it's that if they played those games

01:08:19.000 and he somehow won, no one would believe it.

01:08:23.000 And you know, a key I think to even the Democrats, and even if they're happy with the result,

01:08:27.000 a key to this notion of democracy that they talk about all the time, and you know, again, 0.98

01:08:31.000 for them it's a cocktail party, it's a laughing soundbite, they think we're morons, but is 0.98

01:08:35.000 that it had to be a little bit believable. 0.98

01:08:38.000 You know, now that I've had a few weeks actually trying to listen to Kamala Harris every once

01:08:42.000 in a while, it's actually shocking.

01:08:43.000 I think she's actually probably a worse candidate than Joe Biden.

01:08:46.000 I think she's probably intellectually inferior to him, even in his current, let's call it borderline vegetative state. 0.77

01:08:54.000 You know, but, but enough people may be like, no, but you know, she's a, she's a black woman and it's, it's okay.

01:08:58.000 So that feels like that's a big part of that game.

01:09:02.000 Well, I mean, I agree.

01:09:03.000 It's one thing to have had a mind that is now deteriorated.

01:09:06.000 It's another thing to have the kind of so-called non-mind that Kamala Harris so often expresses. 0.97

01:09:13.000 But I think you said, you know, switching him out, and that alone is a very telling phrase right there, because I think what we're seeing, to my knowledge, is unprecedented in American history, because no one doubted that in the past, let's say Bill Clinton was the head of the Democratic Party, or before him, let's say Jimmy Carter, or even a candidate like Dukakis, they were calling the shots.

01:09:32.000 Right.

01:09:32.000 But now we seem to have a kind of a junta, a regime.

01:09:36.000 And even in 2020, they were like, we're not going to have a real primary.

01:09:39.000 We're just going to move Joe Biden to the front in the understanding that he's our figurehead.

01:09:44.000 He's going to be sitting in the canoe.

01:09:46.000 He's the face of the party, but he doesn't steer the canoe.

01:09:50.000 And then they say, we reserve the right to swap him out.

01:09:54.000 And then we bring in Kamala Harris. 0.93

01:09:55.000 But the key part is we.

01:09:57.000 Who's the we?

01:09:58.000 We bring in Kamala Harris.

01:09:59.000 No primary again.

01:10:01.000 She comes in, but she's our pawn.

01:10:03.000 She's going to say what we tell her to say.

01:10:05.000 And frankly, if we have to swap her out at some point, she's got to go with a smile.

01:10:09.000 I mean, what a scary situation.

01:10:11.000 The party that talks about democracy really has no sense of democracy at all and doesn't certainly practice it.

01:10:17.000 Yeah, I mean, I think even Gavin Newsom now, he probably feels bitter that they didn't choose him or install, I should say, install him because there was no choosing.

01:10:25.000 But he's like, no, we had a duly elected process and she's the clear winner.

01:10:30.000 That's what I've been told to say.

01:10:31.000 And I'm like, There's not a single way of looking at this that you could say this was a fair process or had anything to do with democracy, and it doesn't matter.

01:10:44.000 I mean, again, I think he was a little bit better, so it was maybe the one time he was, while he was perhaps tongue-in-cheek, rightfully bitter about what's going on, and actually called them out at their own game for the first time maybe ever.

01:10:57.000 Yeah, they're trying to pull a fast one on the American people in so many ways.

01:11:00.000 I mean, look, even in tyrannical regimes today, we know who the leader is, right?

01:11:05.000 China is a tyrannical regime.

01:11:06.000 It's run by Xi. 0.98

01:11:08.000 Cuba is tyrannical.

01:11:08.000 We know who's running Cuba.

01:11:10.000 We know the Supreme Mullahs are running Iran. 0.72

01:11:13.000 We haven't had a clear idea of who has been running this country for four Straight years.

01:11:20.000 I mean, just let's digest that shocking fact.

01:11:24.000 And the Democrats are promising us really four more years of the same.

01:11:28.000 What they're trying to do is say to the American people, listen, don't trust your own lying eyes.

01:11:33.000 Don't trust your pocketbook.

01:11:34.000 Don't trust your retirement account.

01:11:36.000 Don't trust what you see about the border. 0.99
