Triggered - Donald Trump Jr - Regime Media Ignores Reality Once Again | Triggered Ep.316

00:06:21.000 Hey guys, welcome to another huge episode of Triggered.

00:06:26.000 Sorry for the neck tattoo.

00:06:30.000 Little joke going wrong, and I wasn't able to really get it off there.

00:06:32.000 I figured I'm going to see my kids later on, so it'll be kind of funny to leave it on there.

00:06:35.000 I did a little joint bachelor-bachelorette party with some friends, and they got Battina neck tattoos for me.

00:06:42.000 So, you know, here we are.

00:06:43.000 But what an absolutely devastating and infuriating week.

00:06:48.000 Devastating for a tiny community in Canada that just lost children in one of the worst school massacres in the history of the country.

00:06:57.000 In yet another act of trans violence, of course. 1.00

00:07:01.000 And infuriating because the fake news and the woke lunatics are doing exactly what they always do. 0.95

00:07:07.000 They're lying to you about what happened and why.

00:07:10.000 So we're going to go and do a deep dive into all of that because honestly, I'm so damn sick of the lies, the manipulation, the misdirection, and just the elimination of the actual facts because facts matter.

00:07:26.000 But it's not all bad news today, guys.

00:07:28.000 We'll get into some of the biggest news from the latest job numbers, the federal workforce getting and going to its lowest level since 1966.

00:07:37.000 Okay, so federal jobs, big government jobs that don't do a lot, numbers down.

00:07:42.000 Regular jobs that actually generate stuff for the economy, way up.

00:07:46.000 Good times.

00:07:47.000 Also, violent crime plummeting across America's biggest cities.

00:07:51.000 So we've got a lot to get into.

00:08:37.000 I think I was the second verified user on the platform, so I know.

00:08:40.000 It's why I don't also do this on YouTube and other places.

00:08:44.000 They actually believe in it.

00:08:46.000 And now they have introduced something that will give us protection from the big banks shutting us off.

00:08:52.000 So that's why they launched Rumble Wallet, a wallet that no one can cancel and a wallet that supports and supporters can use to instantly tip creators without any middlemen taking any cuts.

00:10:12.000 So go give it a look at polymarket.com, check it out, and let me know what you think.

00:10:18.000 And now, let's get into all of the top headlines.

00:10:21.000 And sadly, we begin in Canada with another trans mass shooting, another devastated community.

00:10:29.000 And once again, the so-called elites in the media and public officials and the like are just so terrified of offending anyone that they don't dare ask the most obvious question staring all of us in the face.

00:10:48.000 Why are so many of the most horrifying attacks carried out by people who identify as trans? 1.00

00:10:55.000 Earlier this week, a horrific massacre took place in Tumblr Ridge, British Columbia, a tiny mountain community of about 2,400 people.

00:11:04.000 Police identify the shooter as 18-year-old Jesse Van Ruitzlaw, a biological male who began transitioning six years ago.

00:11:12.000 So at around age 12.

00:11:14.000 Yep, at age 12.

00:11:16.000 He killed his own mother.

00:11:18.000 He killed his 11-year-old stepbrother.

00:11:21.000 And then he walked into Tumblr Ridge Secondary School, a school that he had dropped out of two years earlier, and murdered five students and a teacher.

00:11:30.000 The victims were children between the ages of 11 and 17.

00:11:34.000 Dozens more injured. 0.88

00:11:36.000 And then the coward took his own life. 0.99

00:11:40.000 That's right. 1.00

00:11:41.000 Another deadly attack by someone identifying as trans. 1.00

00:11:45.000 And what do we see in response?

00:11:47.000 Especially in Canada.

00:11:49.000 They go to extraordinary lengths to avoid any suggestion of a linkage.

00:11:54.000 Many news outlets won't even admit the killer was male, referring to him only as a woman.

00:12:00.000 We even heard the word gun person at the press conference.

00:12:05.000 Watch this.

00:12:07.000 That includes the deceased gun person.

00:12:09.000 OK, and then separately, do you know the gun person's relationship to the.

00:12:14.000 And media outlets like Reuters used female pronouns throughout one of their stories.

00:12:19.000 The Associated Press, same thing.

00:12:21.000 They're calling a biological male mass murderer she and her.

00:12:26.000 And there's headline after headline like that.

00:12:30.000 We're showing them all right there on your screen so you can see what we're up against.

00:12:36.000 But it gets even better.

00:12:37.000 And by better, I mean much, much worse.

00:12:39.000 Take a look at this.

00:12:41.000 And we're not hiding it.

00:12:42.000 In fact, you're the first media to ask the question.

00:12:45.000 I will say this.

00:12:46.000 We identify the suspect as they chose to be identified in public and in social media.

00:12:51.000 I can say that Jesse was born as a biological male who approximately, in the information that I have, approximately 60 years ago, began to transition to female and identified as female, both socially and think about what you just watched.

00:13:07.000 The Canadian police, in the middle of a press conference about a mass shooting that killed eight people, including children, are explaining that they're respecting the preferred pronouns of the mass murder.

00:13:19.000 I mean, we got to give this guy some respect, right?

00:13:22.000 We're going to respect his pronouns.

00:13:25.000 The guy who just slaughtered kids at a school, that's their priority, not the victims, not the families, not the warning signs that were missed, the pronouns.

00:13:36.000 And as one commentator noted, if the victims were trans instead of the shooter being trans, just imagine how the regime media would be talking about it non-stop.

00:13:47.000 But when it's yet another, again and again, trans shooter, the coverage is entirely different.

00:13:56.000 It helps nobody to hide behind obfuscations and in clarity.

00:14:00.000 It's right that people know the truth about this.

00:14:04.000 And not to hide.

00:14:05.000 I mean, people will be very specific about, you know, someone arriving in a school at 10.24 or be very specific about these things.

00:14:05.000 And it does matter.

00:14:11.000 Well, we need to be specific about who commits the crime.

00:14:14.000 And we've had this issue.

00:14:15.000 I mean, Scotland has gone completely mad in it.

00:14:18.000 But mainstream media in this country and in America and in Canada has really, really gone woke crazy on this stuff.

00:14:25.000 Will routinely, I mean, newspapers here and online here will routinely report things which are factually untrue.

00:14:33.000 They will report that, you know, a boy has died or a girl has died when actually it is the opposite sex because they don't want to misgender.

00:14:40.000 I mean, and not correctly.

00:14:42.000 And some of the time, I'm actually going, I actually don't know who this person is.

00:14:49.000 And yet this is one of the most key facts.

00:14:50.000 We know people's names and we know their sex.

00:14:53.000 That's kind of like the key and their age.

00:14:55.000 Those are kind of the key facts about people because they are the most relevant facts.

00:14:59.000 But in particular, in the case of violent crime, largely women don't commit violent crime.

00:15:05.000 I mean, some, small few instances, but the vast majority of women who are behind bars in this country and in every country are for non-violent offenses. 0.99

00:15:14.000 So when there is a very, very horrific violent crime involving multiple victims, instantly every journalist at the BBC, INTV, Sky, and everywhere else should be going, this probably isn't a woman. 0.84

00:15:28.000 We'll be careful about this.

00:15:29.000 But they didn't do that.

00:15:30.000 They stuck to it.

00:15:31.000 They didn't do any investigation. 0.78

00:15:33.000 But we know if it was a victim who was trans, because we understand this is a 15-year-old boy who identifies as a girl, gone crazy. 0.95

00:15:42.000 If it had been a trans victim, they'd have talked non-stop about that as they did about the tragedy of the killing of Brianna Jai, who was a boy who was living as if he was a girl and was treated as a girl by his parents, and he was killed. 0.78

00:15:56.000 He was not targeted for being gay, but most of the media reports go on and on and on about this trans killing because he was trans identified, but they ignore it when it's the perpetrator.

00:16:09.000 This is the world the radical left has built.

00:16:12.000 This is what happens when ideology takes priority over everything, over truth, over safety, over basic common sense, over the grieving families of murdered children.

00:16:24.000 And I want you to think about what this means on a deeper level.

00:16:28.000 Families are burying their children today in a small Canadian town.

00:16:33.000 And some in the media and law enforcement's top priority is making sure that nobody misgenders the killer.

00:16:42.000 This is cowardice.

00:16:43.000 And it's cowardice we ignore at everyone's peril.

00:16:47.000 And here's a flashback to when Canadian PM Mark Carney's office put a trans flag on display outside their office building.

00:16:55.000 What exactly do they think that represents at this point?

00:16:58.000 I'd ask Democrats probably the same thing.

00:17:02.000 Looks like we might be getting a flag change here at the Prime Minister's office on Parliament Hill.

00:17:10.000 Let's see.

00:17:12.000 Canadian flag coming down Take two guesses What's going to replace it?

00:17:25.000 Look at this.

00:17:28.000 The office of the Prime Minister here.

00:17:31.000 Parliament Hill and some unhappy people around here as the pride flag goes back up on the Prime Minister's office.

00:17:40.000 So office of the Prime Minister here.

00:17:47.000 Few upset people here.

00:17:51.000 Everybody that's going to be the next day, right, sees this.

00:17:56.000 Yeah, I'm just doing my job.

00:17:59.000 So there you have it.

00:18:00.000 The flag, Canadian flag on the Prime Minister's office has once again been changed for the Trans Pride Progress flag.

00:18:07.000 We already had this flag flying for over a month, the entire month of June.

00:18:12.000 It is back up.

00:18:13.000 We are going to be at a point where like 10% of the time we have this flag instead of Canadian flag.

00:18:17.000 How long before that's all we're flying up here?

00:18:20.000 And as in the background, a massive, massive Palestinian protest makes its way back towards the hill.

00:18:26.000 Welcome to Ottawa.

00:18:31.000 Because here's the thing.

00:18:32.000 This is not an isolated incident.

00:18:34.000 It's not even close.

00:18:36.000 Nashville, a transgender identified shooter walks into a Christian school and murders six people, including three nine-year-old children.

00:18:43.000 Minneapolis, Robin Westman, another attacker with documented gender-identical turmoil, targets a Catholic church and kills two children.

00:18:53.000 The man on trial for murdering Charlie had radical transgender beliefs and now Tumblr Ridge. 0.97

00:19:00.000 That is a pattern.

00:19:01.000 This is reality.

00:19:03.000 The data shows it.

00:19:05.000 And we have the numbers right here on your screen. 0.85

00:19:08.000 But the media insist that the violence committed by mentally ill people and their transgender identity is mere coincidence.

00:19:18.000 Critics are bullied into silence.

00:19:19.000 They're warned not to stigmatize.

00:19:22.000 The public is lied to in an attempt to force us to avert our eyes.

00:19:27.000 And that's the key point here.

00:19:28.000 When journalists knowingly discard biological reality, when they gloss over the obvious link to mental health, they don't just mislead you.

00:19:37.000 They actively interfere with our ability to understand reality and assess danger.

00:19:43.000 Think about that.

00:19:44.000 They are making you less safe in order to protect an ideology.

00:19:49.000 Okay?

00:19:50.000 An ideology that to me seems like per capita may be the most violent ideology in existence today, including ISIS.

00:19:57.000 For years, the public has been told that identifying as the opposite sex is simply another harmless expression of self-identity.

00:20:06.000 Questioning it?

00:20:07.000 That's dangerous.

00:20:08.000 That's cruel.

00:20:09.000 That's bigotry.

00:20:10.000 It's borderline violence.

00:20:12.000 I'm sure some of them did call it violence.

00:20:15.000 Exploring whether transgender identity might signal deeper psychological distress.

00:20:20.000 Well, that's forbidden.

00:20:21.000 Professionals who dare to raise concerns, threatened with the loss of their licenses, their reputations, their livelihoods, that dogma has consequences.

00:20:30.000 And another community just suffered.

00:20:33.000 Let's just be honest here.

00:20:34.000 And I know this is the part where the left completely loses their minds.

00:20:39.000 But believing you are the opposite of your biological sex is not a normal or neutral position.

00:20:45.000 It is often a sign of severe psychological distress, depression, disassociation, self-harm, extreme social isolation.

00:20:55.000 And when doctors recklessly prescribe a whole cocktail of drugs, hormones, or whatever else they throw at these kids, the consequences are devastating.

00:21:04.000 Of course they are.

00:21:05.000 What did you think was going to happen jacking up people to try to literally get them to change their sex with chemicals and hormones? 0.97

00:21:13.000 What do you think that's going to do to people?

00:21:15.000 But it does mean that when young people are spiraling, when a 12-year-old child is clearly in distress, we should not be ignoring the warning signs.

00:21:25.000 And we sure as heck should not be affirming their delusions.

00:21:30.000 But that's exactly what the mental health establishment tells us to do.

00:21:35.000 Affirm, celebrate, never question, and then pump vulnerable teenagers full of hormones and psychotropic drugs that could be making the distress even worse.

00:21:46.000 It's why the Trump administration has made it a top priority to hold these doctors and hospitals accountable for their medical malpractice.

00:21:53.000 It's why we're restoring biological truth to the federal government, investigating children's hospitals and doctors who perform these sick medical experiments.

00:22:02.000 I know thousands more suits were filed, I think, just this week.

00:22:05.000 Finally, a victim actually got something from one of these sickos.

00:22:09.000 It's why detransitioners, again, are filing these lawsuits to recover from damages, from the harm, and oftentimes irreparable damage done to them. 1.00

00:22:20.000 And here's the part that really should terrify every parent in America and Canada and really anywhere in the world.

00:22:26.000 The same establishment that demands we affirm all of this, the same media, the same activists, they are constantly telling people who identify as trans that they are under attack.

00:22:38.000 They are basically programming people to lash out.

00:22:42.000 And then when they do lash out, the same people act shocked.

00:22:47.000 There were really no warning signs, guys.

00:22:50.000 Really?

00:22:51.000 There were signs, like everywhere.

00:22:53.000 They just didn't want us to take note of them.

00:22:56.000 You're not allowed to call it out.

00:22:58.000 That's just a little something.

00:22:59.000 We got to let that one go, right?

00:23:01.000 Rinse and repeat.

00:23:02.000 The common denominator isn't even just identity.

00:23:06.000 It's unrelated and untreated, mistreated illness.

00:23:11.000 Okay?

00:23:12.000 And every time the media refuses to report plainly, every time officials tiptoe around the obvious facts, every time ideology is allowed to override common sense, we are inviting another tragedy.

00:23:26.000 And the New York Post put out a great piece on this, actually.

00:23:28.000 And credit to them for having the guts to say what other outlets are too afraid to say, that this is not compassion.

00:23:36.000 Calling a male mass murderer she while families plan funerals for their children is not compassion.

00:23:43.000 Hiding biological reality is not compassion.

00:23:47.000 It's criminal.

00:23:48.000 It's actively dangerous.

00:23:51.000 If someone denies basic biological truths about themselves, that is evidence of distress.

00:23:56.000 Not a brave new identity to be endlessly affirmed.

00:24:00.000 Doesn't make you beyond reproach.

00:24:03.000 Silencing doctors who raise concerns doesn't improve outcomes.

00:24:07.000 It makes things worse.

00:24:09.000 We must speak the truth so we don't have to keep lighting candles for the victims or keep burying innocents and children.

00:24:19.000 This delusion is dangerous.

00:24:22.000 It's why I spoke up about the trans woman in sports issue so early on because I saw where this was all heading. 1.00

00:24:29.000 And sadly, it seems that I was all too correct.

00:24:33.000 Now, thankfully, this administration has taken steps to stop our government from actually subsidizing this insanity because schools will now lose their federal funds if they keep pushing this gender delusion inside of classrooms, on the playing field, or in the workplace, because it has got to end. 0.99

00:24:53.000 It's all part of bringing common sense back.

00:24:57.000 And speaking of common sense, I want to pivot a little bit to some really incredible news that the fake news is doing everything in their power to either ignore or to spin because it's an absolute grand slam for the Trump economy.

00:25:13.000 The January jobs report just came out and it crushed expectations.

00:25:18.000 The economy added 130,000 jobs, more than double what the so-called experts predicted.

00:25:25.000 Unemployment dropped to 4.3%.

00:25:28.000 And here's the number that really tells the story.

00:25:31.000 Private sector job growth is surging while government job growth is declining.

00:25:38.000 That's a big one.

00:25:39.000 Not bureaucrats, people actually doing real things.

00:25:42.000 Those are the people who are getting jobs.

00:25:45.000 When my father took office last year, the economy Biden left him was losing private sector jobs, just hemorrhaging them and adding government payroll jobs day in and day out.

00:25:57.000 The government was getting bigger.

00:25:58.000 The private sector was shrinking.

00:26:00.000 That was the Biden economy.

00:26:03.000 Fewer real jobs, more bureaucrats.

00:26:05.000 And Team Trump flipped the script completely.

00:26:08.000 One year later, it's all private sector growth while actually cutting government jobs.

00:26:14.000 Check this out.

00:26:16.000 Yesterday's blockbuster expectation-smashing jobs report reinforces what we have been saying all along.

00:26:22.000 President Trump's economic agenda has a proven track record.

00:26:25.000 It unleashed historic job, wage, and economic growth during his first term.

00:26:29.000 And we're seeing that same story unfold now during his second term.

00:26:32.000 Yesterday's job report showed a stunning 170,000 private sector jobs being added.

00:26:38.000 We saw unemployment take down, labor force participation take up, real wages continue to increase.

00:26:43.000 And all of this is happening in spite of the fact that we inherited an absolute disaster from Joe Biden.

00:26:49.000 Yesterday's job report showed revisions that 2 million, 2 million fewer jobs were created during the last two years of the Biden presidency than we previously thought.

00:26:58.000 And the jobs he did create were largely going to illegal aliens, foreigners, or to make-work government jobs. 0.58

00:27:04.000 President Trump is focused on real, sustainable, private sector-led economic growth.

00:27:09.000 And this is just the beginning.

00:27:10.000 The president's policies are just now beginning to take effect.

00:27:14.000 615,000 private sector jobs added in Trump's second term so far.

00:27:20.000 Construction up 33,000 in January alone, because those trillions of dollars in manufacturing investments that Trump secured are actually turning into real buildings and real factories and real jobs.

00:27:34.000 Average weekly earnings for private sector workers, they're up 4.3%.

00:27:38.000 Prime age labor force participation at its highest level since 2001.

00:27:44.000 More Americans are coming off the sidelines and getting back to work.

00:27:48.000 And over the last year, native-born employment, people actually born here, rose nearly 900,000, while the number of foreign-born workers and the employment there fell by 100,000.

00:28:03.000 Remember, border security also means economic security.

00:28:07.000 And putting Americans first means making sure companies aren't using biased and unfair programs to lower wages and push out American workers.

00:28:16.000 And by the way, remember all the hysteria that tariffs were going to do to the economy?

00:28:21.000 They were going to destroy the economy.

00:28:24.000 Where are those pundits now?

00:28:25.000 Remember all that panic?

00:28:27.000 All that insanity?

00:28:29.000 Guys, we're sticking to the mission.

00:28:32.000 Promises made, promises kept.

00:28:34.000 Some of this stuff takes a little time to matriculate and get out there, especially with all the people working against us, but it's happening.

00:28:42.000 And speaking of cutting the bloat and cutting the waste, federal employment now is the lowest it's been since 1966.

00:28:53.000 That's a big deal.

00:28:54.000 Check this out.

00:28:55.000 I think that there, you know, the top line is that there was a lot more private sector job creation once again.

00:29:02.000 It was 172,000.

00:29:05.000 And one of the stories that everybody's been worried about, I mean, it's actually a legitimate thing to worry about, is that AI was going to take away people's jobs.

00:29:14.000 Well, the top line job number shows that that's not happening.

00:29:17.000 But the other thing you can see is that prime age labor force participation, which is like people's desire to go get a job, that they get back into the workforce, went up to the highest level it's been since 2001.

00:29:28.000 And so I think that the AI story needs to be modified a little bit.

00:29:31.000 What's happening is AI is increasing productivity and wages and bringing people back into the labor force.

00:29:36.000 And finally, the interesting thing too is this all happened while federal government employment went down a lot, about 360,000 over this year, which means that federal government employment is the lowest it's been since 1966 and the lowest as a share of the overall labor force that it spends ever in all recorded history, which goes back to the Second World War.

00:29:59.000 I'll say it again.

00:30:00.000 Under this administration, federal employment has declined to its lowest levels since 1966.

00:30:07.000 And not just the lowest in raw numbers, but the lowest level in recorded history as a share of the total workforce.

00:30:15.000 Okay?

00:30:16.000 That's a big deal, right?

00:30:17.000 It's not like, oh, it's just a low number, but yeah, it's high because with populations growing and whatever it is.

00:30:22.000 No, it's just down across the board.

00:30:26.000 This is what they told us was impossible.

00:30:28.000 Remember that?

00:30:28.000 We need all these federal workers.

00:30:30.000 No, you don't.

00:30:31.000 You can't cut the federal government.

00:30:32.000 The bureaucracy is too entrenched.

00:30:34.000 Doge will never work.

00:30:36.000 Elon Musk is going to break everything.

00:30:38.000 Well, guess what?

00:30:39.000 They cut it.

00:30:40.000 They streamlined it.

00:30:42.000 And the economy didn't collapse.

00:30:44.000 It's booming.

00:30:45.000 Fewer people on the taxpayer payroll.

00:30:48.000 More people in real, productive, private sector jobs.

00:30:51.000 That is exactly how this is supposed to work.

00:30:54.000 The radical left wants you to believe that government bloat is economic growth.

00:30:59.000 It's not.

00:31:00.000 It never was, and it never will be.

00:31:02.000 Government jobs don't grow the pie. 1.00

00:31:05.000 They take away from it.

00:31:06.000 When you shift from a government-dependent economy to a private sector-driven economy, everybody wins.

00:31:12.000 And that's exactly what's happening right now.

00:31:14.000 And while we're on the topic of winning, new crime data shows that violent crime, including murders, are at historic lows.

00:31:25.000 Another big deal, another big win.

00:31:28.000 Well, look, I won't get ahead of the president, Laura, and he may be speaking with the press later today, but he did take down the post.

00:31:35.000 And again, this is merely a distraction for the fake news media from Trump Iraq last night, from the fact that this week it was revealed zero illegal aliens were released into our country again for nine months in a row.

00:31:48.000 Another historic achievement of this administration.

00:31:51.000 The fact that this week we saw the data, murder rates in this country, the lowest since 1900.

00:31:57.000 I mean, these are unbelievable results on behalf of all Americans, regardless of race, religion, or creed, whether they live in a red state or a blue state.

00:32:05.000 And we fight extremely hard here every single day to get the fake news media to pay attention to the wins and the achievements that I see this president firsthand working around the clock to accomplish and to deliver on behalf of this great country, which he loves so much.

00:32:21.000 Violent crime is plummeting across America's biggest cities.

00:32:25.000 And I'm not talking about a small dip.

00:32:27.000 I'm talking about a steep, dramatic drop.

00:32:31.000 And under the FBI's Operation Summer Heat, homicides are down roughly 20% across 52 major cities, 20%.

00:32:39.000 Across 52 major cities in a year?

00:32:41.000 Seattle down 42%.

00:32:43.000 Denver down 41%.

00:32:45.000 Baltimore, Memphis, major drops everywhere.

00:32:49.000 Compared to a year ago, we have the lowest murder rate in modern history, a 200% increase in arrests and over 6,000 innocent kids rescued, 31% more deadly fentanyl off the streets and six out of the 10 most wanted fugitives captured in just the last year.

00:33:11.000 Now, how does the fake news give the Trump administration any credit?

00:33:16.000 Of course they don't, guys.

00:33:18.000 They spent four years telling you crime was a myth, that it was all right-wing fear-mongering.

00:33:24.000 And now that the numbers are out, it's undeniable.

00:33:29.000 You know what's driving this?

00:33:30.000 Law enforcement being empowered to do their jobs.

00:33:34.000 Criminals knowing there's a president in the White House who backs safety and security instead of backing the mob.

00:33:41.000 And by the way, we're seeing the same thing on Capitol Hill with the same, with the SAVE Act, which would require proof of citizenship to vote and require voters to actually show ID.

00:33:54.000 First off, why isn't this already the law?

00:33:57.000 I mean, the real question, that's really the real question here, right?

00:34:01.000 Is it because Democrats don't want it?

00:34:03.000 They don't want integrity in our election process.

00:34:06.000 I mean, there's third world banana republics that you need voter ID for around the world. 0.94

00:34:10.000 Almost every country requires it.

00:34:12.000 Now, the left claims it's an assault on voting rights, but they can't actually explain why.

00:34:18.000 Just look at this exchange between Scott Jennings and a liberal pundit on CNN because it's priceless.

00:34:25.000 He is actually championing a bill that actually would take voting rights away from a lot of black people in this country.

00:34:32.000 Wait, what voting rights is he taking away from black voters?

00:34:35.000 Oh, if we look at the save act, that's exactly what we're talking about.

00:34:39.000 That is actually going to continue to disenfranchise overwhelmingly a lot of people of color.

00:34:44.000 There are so many civil rights organizations that have run the data.

00:34:47.000 If we look at the way that it is going to disenfranchise black voters, it's the same reason why Chuck Schumer caught a Jim Crow 2.0.

00:34:54.000 This is the same president. 0.75

00:34:55.000 You haven't said hell yet.

00:34:55.000 We want to continue.

00:34:57.000 I am talking about it.

00:34:58.000 It's the way that you're putting new poll taxes on this when you're making people have, that's what we can call them now.

00:35:04.000 It's kind of an idiom, right?

00:35:06.000 If you want to say that people have to prove that they are citizens, that they have to prove with a voter ID.

00:35:12.000 The reality is you're layering what is a constitutional right for the American people and making it harder for people to vote in this country.

00:35:20.000 And it's going to disenfranchise black voters. 0.97

00:35:23.000 Concern you that you're making all these claims.

00:35:26.000 You've yet to lay out how it's hurting anyone, but 76% of black voters think we should show an ID to vote.

00:35:33.000 80% of Hispanic voters, 83% of the American people. 0.99

00:35:37.000 Are you saying that black voters dumb to know what's good for them? 0.99

00:35:41.000 I mean, that sounds pretty condescending to me. 1.00

00:35:44.000 That's not fair.

00:35:45.000 That's not three-quarters of black voters.

00:35:47.000 That's not voter ID.

00:35:49.000 But that's fair.

00:35:49.000 The SAFE Act is not just about IDs.

00:35:51.000 The SAVE Act is about proof of citizenship.

00:35:54.000 So what?

00:35:54.000 So it doesn't.

00:35:55.000 I actually.

00:35:56.000 It also makes it very hard for married women who are voting for the city. 1.00

00:35:59.000 I was just going to say, we talked about this before. 0.99

00:36:02.000 It actually, there's an argument to be made that red state voters, women, poor white voters could be just as you think they're dumb too, don't you? 0.99

00:36:11.000 I mean, that's the thing. 0.99

00:36:13.000 Nobody's talking about it.

00:36:13.000 I hear these arguments.

00:36:14.000 I've heard Democrats all over the world.

00:36:15.000 Hold on to that.

00:36:16.000 No, please don't.

00:36:17.000 No, no, no.

00:36:18.000 No, you listen.

00:36:18.000 There's a question from talking about anything from racism.

00:36:21.000 I'm actually talking about it.

00:36:22.000 You should be thinking about your constituents or your region.

00:36:28.000 I live in Kentucky.

00:36:29.000 Hold on, hold on.

00:36:30.000 Most Americans don't have a passport.

00:36:32.000 Many Americans don't have access to their birth certificate.

00:36:36.000 Many women, a majority of women who change their names for marriage have to provide additional proof that they've changed their names in order to register. 1.00

00:36:46.000 I have heard Democrats might be sad.

00:36:48.000 I would actually respond to the substance of what I'm saying.

00:36:50.000 I am.

00:36:51.000 As opposed to making this about something that it's not. 1.00

00:36:54.000 It's not just about rural people are too stupid to figure out how to register to vote. 1.00

00:37:00.000 That's not a problem. 1.00

00:37:01.000 That is not what the Frenchman is making.

00:37:03.000 That's an argument at all.

00:37:05.000 That is not what she said.

00:37:09.000 Let me offer it.

00:37:09.000 Are you saying they can't figure out how to vote?

00:37:12.000 I'm saying it is a fact that a majority of Americans do not have passports.

00:37:17.000 Many Americans, including white people, okay, do not have their original birth certificate or access to the city.

00:37:24.000 You say why you said rural certificates.

00:37:25.000 I would love to offer the proof of it.

00:37:27.000 Yeah, because that is also relevant.

00:37:30.000 It doesn't matter to me where people are.

00:37:32.000 I guess I have a little more faith in America and married women. 0.97

00:37:37.000 I don't know why you think why you're making this about whether you're smart or not.

00:37:41.000 You're saying that they can't vote, that they can't figure out how to document to register to vote.

00:37:46.000 Access to documentation of proof of where you were born or proof of citizenship is an additional thing that people actually want to find out.

00:37:58.000 It is a barrier.

00:38:00.000 And by the way, for anyone claiming voter fraud isn't real, out in California, a dog, yes, really, successfully voted in a recent election.

00:38:10.000 Its owner was only caught after posting a photo of the animal wearing an I-voted sticker.

00:38:17.000 And one report says the dog owner actually self-reported in an effort to expose the system.

00:38:23.000 Either way, this is not a joke.

00:38:27.000 And the principal at the heart of the SAVE Act, voter ID, is something he's spoken about a lot.

00:38:33.000 And frankly, it's something I think makes a lot of sense.

00:38:35.000 You look around the world, upwards of 90% of democracies require a voter ID.

00:38:39.000 The idea that you wouldn't have it would probably seem bizarre to most people living in democracies around the world.

00:38:45.000 Most states have it as well.

00:38:46.000 And this is something that falls within Congress's authority under the elections clause when it comes to federal elections.

00:38:52.000 Similarly, I'm sponsoring a bill to reform redistricting so we don't have gerrymandering anymore in congressional elections.

00:38:59.000 That is another example of something that falls under Congress's authority with the elections clause.

00:39:04.000 So on the SAVE Act, there are concerns.

00:39:07.000 I mean, I hear what you're saying, and I know that polls suggest that most Americans, including most Democrats, support voter ID.

00:39:15.000 But there are concerns from critics that it could make it harder for some legitimate groups of people to vote, U.S. citizens, people who don't have driver's licenses, anyone whose current legal name differs from their birth certificate, people who don't have the money to travel internationally, so they don't have passports.

00:39:30.000 Is there anything in your legislation that could help those individuals so they are able to vote?

00:39:38.000 Yeah, so I think that whatever cross-section of the American electorate you look at, any of those groups that you just mentioned, I think that polling shows they all do support voter ID.

00:39:47.000 But to answer your question directly, you know, there are provisions saying, for example, that if you're voting by mail and you're in a state that has basically cross-checked its voter rolls against the federal database, then you don't necessarily need to provide proof of citizenship directly when you cast your ballot.

00:40:04.000 But I will say this is just a common sense solution.

00:40:07.000 And there are documented cases where things don't go as they should.

00:40:10.000 In California, you know, recently someone was arrested because their dog voted in several elections.

00:40:15.000 Then the dog died and kept getting a ballot.

00:40:17.000 So these are just kind of basic weaknesses that shouldn't exist in a well-functioning democracy that don't exist in other democracies around the world.

00:40:25.000 And I think it's time to pass this, as well as, by the way, pass redistricting reform so we don't have gerrymandering.

00:40:30.000 I think those two things together could form a viable bipartisan deal that would assure fair elections in this country.

00:40:35.000 Republican Congressman Kevin Kine of California, thanks so much, sir.

00:40:38.000 Appreciate it.

00:40:39.000 Coming.

00:40:40.000 Now, big picture, the contrast could not be clearer.

00:40:43.000 Under Democrat leadership, defund the police, open the jails, election chaos, let violent criminals walk.

00:40:51.000 And under Trump, you have law and order, public safety, secure the border, secure our elections, and cripple violent crime.

00:41:00.000 And look, the big picture today's whole show is really clear on.

00:41:09.000 You have one hand where you have the radical left and the fake news covering up the truth about a mass shooting to protect their gender ideology, gaslighting the public, refusing to ask hard questions.

00:41:22.000 And on the other hand, you have the Trump administration creating private sector jobs, cutting government bloat to historic lows, driving violent crime down across America's biggest cities, and rooting out sick ideology from being subsidized by your taxpayer dollars.

00:41:39.000 One side is making America safer, stronger, and more prosperous.

00:41:44.000 The other side can't even tell you the biological sex of a mass murder because it may hurt some other lunatic's feelings.

00:41:51.000 Because for whatever reason, the left wants to have debates or national conversations about issues that have been obvious since the beginning of time.

00:42:01.000 That's the choice.

00:42:02.000 It's always been the choice.

00:42:04.000 And America made the right one in November of 2024.

00:42:08.000 And we've got to keep making the right choices to keep our country headed in the right direction.

00:42:14.000 So guys, thank you so much for tuning in.

00:42:17.000 My heart truly goes out to every family in Tumblr Ridge, every parent, every student, every first responder.

00:42:26.000 That is a community that will never be the same again.

00:42:29.000 And they deserve the truth, even if some are too cowardly to give it to them.

00:42:35.000 So I ask you guys, remember to like, to share, to subscribe, get this message out there so people can actually see what the hell is going on.

00:42:43.000 Maybe if enough people become aware, we can put an end to this nonsense.

00:42:46.000 Maybe if enough people actually speak out, get this message out.

00:42:52.000 It matters.

00:42:53.000 Maybe it changes things.

00:42:54.000 Guys, also make sure, again, like, share, subscribe, download the Rumble app on your smart TV.
