00:00:00.000 you you

00:06:03.000 hey guys welcome to another huge episode of Triggered.

00:06:31.000 Today we'll be talking with Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk, along with Special Forces veteran and host of Battleground, right here on Rumble, Sean Parnell, who is doing big things in his home state of Pennsylvania to protect and secure the vote.

00:06:46.000 Charlie has a new book out with my publishing company, Winning Team Publishing, called Right Wing Revolution, and it's a roadmap to winning in November.

00:06:55.000 To building winning coalitions and getting this country back on track.

00:07:01.000 And like I said, guys, that's something we absolutely have to do.

00:09:46.000 Okay guys, joining me now, my good friend, Turning Point USA founder, host of the Charlie Kirk Show,

00:09:52.000 and author of the new book, Right Wing Revolution, the one and only Charlie Kirk.

00:09:59.000 What's happening, buddy?

00:10:01.000 Don, great to see you, Don.

00:10:03.000 If there's one person who could take a lot of credit, in fact, the most credit for Turning Point success and everything, it's you.

00:10:10.000 You've always believed in us from the very beginning.

00:10:12.000 There's a lot of people that say, I was there when, but Don, you believed in me and our movement when I was wearing oversized suits and traveling across the country.

00:10:21.000 I was yelling at you, you can't go to a donor meeting with that belt. 1.00

00:10:24.000 It's falling apart, you look like a schmuck. 1.00

00:10:26.000 And I'm not one for high fashion, so that's saying something. 0.99

00:10:31.000 And you've always believed in us, and now you're publishing my book, which is just so cool, and it's doing really well.

00:10:37.000 So, Don, you've been a great friend, and it seems like the revolution that you and I have been part of, it just doesn't stop.

00:10:42.000 It's been, what, nine years now, and it's not going to slow down anytime soon, that's for sure.

00:10:47.000 No, and I think so much of it was underway for so long, actually, Charlie.

00:10:51.000 I mean, I think it was there.

00:10:52.000 It was sort of the phenomenon of Trump that really got the other side to expose themselves.

00:10:57.000 I mean, I think we've been under attack for decades.

00:11:00.000 It wasn't just the last eight years, nine years that that's been going on, but it's accelerated so quickly.

00:11:06.000 So the new book is about how to save the West, which I legitimately think, like, our civilization is at threat.

00:11:12.000 The leftists, they're not even pretending anymore.

00:11:15.000 How do we save it?

00:11:17.000 Yeah, that's right.

00:11:18.000 And Don, I mean, like, you, 15 years ago, would you have ever said that?

00:11:21.000 Of course not.

00:11:22.000 I mean, the stakes are higher than ever.

00:11:23.000 And they've done a methodical takeover of our institutions.

00:11:28.000 So we talk about in the book a couple things.

00:11:30.000 The first and foremost, we must be We must care less about what they call us.

00:11:34.000 And this is what we call the big Trump lesson.

00:11:37.000 That DJT and yourself, it does not matter what names they call you.

00:11:41.000 It does not because they use name calling as a weaponized tactic to try to get you into a place of paralysis and to try to get you into a place of submission.

00:11:50.000 They want you to bend the knee.

00:11:52.000 They want to call you all the worst names that they could call you.

00:11:54.000 So there's a whole chapter on my life story on how it used to impact me when the New York Times would call me a racist.

00:12:00.000 Now I literally couldn't care less.

00:12:01.000 It's like, oh, It's a day that ends in Y. You call me a racist or you call me a misogynist.

00:12:05.000 Could not care less.

00:12:07.000 The way that we beat the woke is we also have to have a legitimate opposition party.

00:12:11.000 You know this, Don.

00:12:12.000 I am highly critical of the Republican Party because they deserve it.

00:12:16.000 The Republican Party does not fight to win.

00:12:18.000 The Republican Party is like the Vichy French. 0.99

00:12:20.000 They are the moderate wing of the Democrat Party.

00:12:24.000 We must understand that most Republicans are actually part of the Democrat Party when it comes to sending money to Ukraine or allowing our borders wide open.

00:12:32.000 One of the chapters we have here in Right-Wing Revolution is curing red state laziness. 0.57

00:12:37.000 Again, there's so much information in this book.

00:12:40.000 I encourage the audience to get it.

00:12:41.000 But one of the things we talk about is how many red states we control.

00:12:44.000 And let's just apply it.

00:12:45.000 I know, Don, you might not be able to comment on this, but you could talk more broadly.

00:12:49.000 Why is it that red states have not used their prosecutorial or investigative authority to indict the left?

00:12:55.000 Yeah.

00:12:56.000 You look at what Letitia James has done to your family, Letitia James did to the NRA.

00:13:00.000 Why do we not have Attorney General Marshall in Alabama, very sweet guy, very pleasant, but why is he not using his office to go after the Southern Poverty Law Center?

00:13:09.000 Why are we not investigating BLM?

00:13:11.000 There's a whole chapter in this book that if we're serious about beating the woke, we must recognize we actually control more of this country than we realize.

00:13:19.000 We control 29 governor's mansions.

00:13:22.000 31 Attorney General's Office.

00:13:23.000 Think about that.

00:13:23.000 This is a majority right-wing country.

00:13:26.000 And only three of them are weaponized against their political opposition.

00:13:29.000 They all happen to be Democrats.

00:13:31.000 It's amazing.

00:13:32.000 But you see that.

00:13:32.000 You're right.

00:13:33.000 In the comments on here, so much of it is like, we're all complaining, we're all bitching about it, but what do we actually do?

00:13:40.000 And I think you're right.

00:13:41.000 That apathy.

00:13:43.000 Some of the most conservative states in the entire union have literally the weakest conservative leadership at their helm.

00:13:50.000 And I never figured that out.

00:13:52.000 I don't understand it.

00:13:52.000 You can run a great America first patriot, someone that, and you know, the Washington DC pseudo Democrat that just has an R next to his name, but is functioning like a Democrat seems to always pull it off.

00:14:05.000 So I have a theory about this.

00:14:06.000 I talk about it in the book, which is if your state is too red, Democrats, like actual Democrats, then they run as Republicans because there's no chance that Democrats get elected.

00:14:17.000 And so you take states where you should have great representation, like Kentucky or Texas or Idaho, and you get some of the most moderate senators that you could imagine that are effectively Democrats.

00:14:29.000 However, when states are not that right wing and you have to compete, you actually get better representatives.

00:14:36.000 For example, Wisconsin, Ron Johnson is amazing, and Ron Johnson has been a great fighter Yeah.

00:14:40.000 America First agenda and he's been a great fighter for your father.

00:14:44.000 J.D.

00:14:45.000 Vance in Ohio.

00:14:46.000 Ohio is a red state, but it's not like Oklahoma.

00:14:48.000 So you actually get better representatives when you have to earn your voters and you

00:14:53.000 get better Republicans when there's actually a Democrat party around.

00:14:56.000 And I know that might sound like a little weird, but when there's only one show in town

00:15:01.000 in Idaho, in Oklahoma, where do the Democrats go?

00:15:05.000 They're still there.

00:15:06.000 They run as Republicans, not as Democrats.

00:15:09.000 And so curing that red state laziness and we need to, as America First patriots, as 1.00

00:15:14.000 those of us that are part of the MAGA movement, we must hold our Republicans to a higher standard.

00:15:19.000 You know, in this book, I go into detail.

00:15:21.000 Everyone complains about CRT, right?

00:15:23.000 Everyone complains about diversity, equity, inclusion.

00:15:25.000 Got it.

00:15:26.000 Why is it then that $120 million a year in Oklahoma is spent on schools that have LGBT centers, Q plus centers, that have DEI and critical race theory? 0.85

00:15:35.000 It shouldn't happen.

00:15:37.000 77 counties in Oklahoma voted for Donald Trump, every single county.

00:15:41.000 And yet they have some of the wokest left-wing schools in the country.

00:15:45.000 That's just one example of hundreds that we have in the book.

00:15:48.000 And curing that red state laziness is so important. 1.00

00:15:50.000 And then finally, it needs to be an attitude shift.

00:15:53.000 Far too often, I run into Republicans that say, well, we want to save the country, but we do not want to stoop down to the level of the Democrats.

00:16:00.000 Honestly, Don, I used to believe that.

00:16:02.000 I used to be like way more like principled.

00:16:04.000 We thought about that a couple of times.

00:16:07.000 I know no of course I mean that was like 2017 Charlie Kirk or 2018 and like I kind of like cringe at myself back then but honestly that's it I talk about in the book that kind of development of that I've went through was a really necessary one because I used to believe in our institutions.

00:16:22.000 I used to believe that like the winner is the one that has the better argument.

00:16:26.000 No, the winner is the one that is willing to use political power when necessary.

00:16:31.000 That is a brutal truth, Don.

00:16:32.000 I don't like that.

00:16:33.000 I wish it was a coffee shop debate.

00:16:34.000 I wish we were fighting Democrats that cared about who actually had the better argument.

00:16:38.000 So again, don't mean to go on too long about that, but we must be willing to use political power to reciprocate, because if we don't, we are going to have great ideas in jail.

00:16:49.000 Yeah, no, I agree with you, and I've been saying it for a while.

00:16:52.000 We can't play t-ball while they're playing hardball.

00:16:54.000 It doesn't work.

00:16:55.000 And they're more than happy to let us play t-ball, and it's an easy existence if you're a Washington, D.C., sort of weak Republican.

00:17:02.000 You know, you can be Republican 90, 85 percent of the time, but as long as you fold when it actually matters, you have that easy existence.

00:17:09.000 But I will say, when we look at what's going on right now, you joke about being carted off to the gulags.

00:17:15.000 I don't actually think it's a joke.

00:17:16.000 I legitimately think that's on the table.

00:17:17.000 I can see that based on what they've tried to do to me over the last eight years, what they're trying to do to my father, what they did to, you know, J6ers and even incredibly, you know, peaceful people taking selfies inside the velvet ropes. 1.00

00:17:29.000 And, you know, it's a disparate treatment.

00:17:32.000 Every time, every election cycle, everyone's always said, well, this one's the most important ever.

00:17:36.000 I mean, this time it actually Really feels like it.

00:17:39.000 You know, it used to be a cliche, but when you look at what they're actually doing, not what they're saying anymore or what they're perhaps alluding to a little bit, but what they're actually doing, does it become too late at a certain point?

00:17:50.000 Is there a point where, you know, the pendulum just swings so far that it can never get back to center or certainly to the right?

00:17:57.000 How long can we withstand, you know, It can get too late.

00:18:08.000 I mean, and the United Kingdom, I think, is like 10 years ahead of us.

00:18:17.000 I don't think the UK can be saved in its current form.

00:18:19.000 I'm sorry.

00:18:19.000 I mean, you were just there.

00:18:21.000 It's a husk of its former self, and it's a really sad country, and it's too bad because it used to be a really great country.

00:18:26.000 Of course, there is a breaking point.

00:18:28.000 I don't think we've reached that breaking point.

00:18:29.000 I think there are more decent Americans than indecent Americans.

00:18:32.000 And to your point here, that's why we need the right-wing revolution now.

00:18:36.000 And it ties in perfectly with the MAGA movement.

00:18:39.000 And let me be very clear, right-wing revolution sounds like really radical.

00:18:42.000 Do you know what I argue for in this book?

00:18:43.000 You know this, Don.

00:18:44.000 Getting married, having children, turning off your phone, spending time outdoors, you know, going hunting like you would enjoy, right?

00:18:50.000 Or I would enjoy more like going for a hike, right?

00:18:52.000 Like getting away from your devices.

00:18:54.000 Actually, an ordinary, boring, simple way of life is what I argue for in the book.

00:19:00.000 And here's the best analogy that I could give.

00:19:03.000 Is that if you're trying to go north from Washington D.C.

00:19:07.000 to northeast to New York and you look at your GPS and all of a sudden you're in West Virginia, you're way off course.

00:19:13.000 And in order to even get back on course, you need to go east before you can go north.

00:19:16.000 That's very similar to the American political context.

00:19:19.000 We've gone so far to the left that what is right wing is now actually very moderate.

00:19:23.000 That what is considered right wing Well, everything that's not the radical left is right-wing at this point.

00:19:29.000 If you don't, you know, if you don't subscribe to, you know, a three-year-old should be able to, without parental consent, go through life-altering sex change operations.

00:19:37.000 You are a right-wing extremist. 1.00

00:19:38.000 You are a fascist, Charlie Kirk. 0.54

00:19:40.000 So you're right that if you took the bell curve, and this used to be center, literally, and this is a far left, anything You know, out of the, you know, second standard deviation is, you know, extreme right wing. 0.53

00:19:52.000 And, you know, I'd argue that today's conservative movement would be, you know, quite left of center compared to historically.

00:20:00.000 You know, we've kept, we keep moving left, being reasonable, but I think our reasonableness, unfortunately, is eating us alive because they just chip away at it each and every day.

00:20:08.000 It's always, you know, a death by a thousand cuts.

00:20:12.000 Oh yeah, I mean, JFK would be considered a far-right extremist in today's American political system. 0.98

00:20:18.000 Fascist! 1.00

00:20:18.000 He's a Nazi! 1.00

00:20:19.000 Yeah, they'd be like, JFK's a fascist because he's asking not what the government can do for you, but what you can do for the government. 0.98

00:20:24.000 How dare he say that?

00:20:26.000 JFK believes, you know, that there's a God?

00:20:28.000 I mean, like this, you know, they would be slandering him.

00:20:31.000 And so that's what, that's the book in some ways, the title is provocative intentionally, so to get attention and to try to get people to read it.

00:20:37.000 And it's true, though.

00:20:38.000 We want a right wing revolution, but we're not asking for anything that is that dramatic.

00:20:42.000 What we want is to understand that we want the country we grew up in.

00:20:46.000 And you more than me, Don, you remember the country, and I lived in it for a period of time. 0.78

00:20:50.000 It was a darn great country. 0.84

00:20:52.000 It really was. 0.98

00:20:53.000 This is a new phenomenon.

00:20:54.000 I feel so bad for your kids.

00:20:55.000 I just saw them.

00:20:57.000 They're looking great in Detroit, and I feel bad for them.

00:21:00.000 You know, the younger generation, they really have no grasp of what America used to be.

00:21:05.000 And I know that we sound kind of like boomers when we say that, but we're not.

00:21:08.000 Like, I mean, it was the country of- Well, I'm getting close.

00:21:11.000 I'm getting close.

00:21:12.000 I'm desperately trying to hang on to my youth, but man.

00:21:18.000 I'm 30 years old, so I'm kind of like in the middle.

00:21:20.000 I'm youngish, but you know, father of two.

00:21:22.000 Like 15 years ago, when I was 15 years old, This was a great country, right?

00:21:27.000 And we didn't talk about race all the time.

00:21:28.000 There was no drag queens. 1.00

00:21:29.000 There was not pride month. 0.99

00:21:30.000 You know, it was like July 4th was like the greatest weekend of the year.

00:21:34.000 And I'm afraid we lost that.

00:21:37.000 We can get it back.

00:21:38.000 And I believe Americans want to get it back, but it's going to take a revolutionary spirit and mindset.

00:21:43.000 Yeah, I'm old enough to remember when Easter Sunday was Easter Sunday and not Transgender Day of Awareness.

00:21:48.000 Which, again, it's not like they're not aware that they did that.

00:21:52.000 Oh, it magically happened on Easter Sunday.

00:21:55.000 They knew, and they're so radical, the left that's in charge in Washington, D.C.

00:22:00.000 You know, that it became okay.

00:22:01.000 But I will say this, you know, I don't think we're beyond saving it.

00:22:04.000 I saw that, you know, this weekend when I was at, you know, the Turning Point Conference in Detroit.

00:22:10.000 I mean, Detroit, Michigan.

00:22:12.000 We had, what, 6, 7,000?

00:22:13.000 I don't know what the final number was, but I spoke to, it was a big crowd when I spoke, and that was even before DJT spoke.

00:22:18.000 8,700.

00:22:18.000 I mean, it was huge.

00:22:21.000 Mostly, you know, young kids, motivated.

00:22:24.000 I saw, candidly, you know, every demographic, a lot of, you know, a lot of people you wouldn't have, you know, sort of, you had in your bingo card that were there that were either, you know, conservative or literally came up to me like, hey man, I voted Democrat my whole life and I'm over it.

00:22:38.000 It's failed us.

00:22:39.000 It's a disaster.

00:22:40.000 I see what the motive now is.

00:22:42.000 They've just totally lost me.

00:22:43.000 So, you know, what you guys are doing there, and for those of you who are watching,

00:22:46.000 who have young kids, you know, check out a Turning Point chapter,

00:22:49.000 you know, if they're in college or in high school, you know, get them involved in all of this.

00:22:54.000 There is a momentum and we're breaking through that, the stigma of being a conservative.

00:22:59.000 It's now, you're almost like, now you're the revolutionaries if you're conservative. 0.98

00:23:03.000 You're the badasses. 0.65

00:23:05.000 Like, if you're following pop culture, if you're following the mainstream media, 0.96

00:23:08.000 if you're following everything big tech and corporate, you know, media tells you,

00:23:11.000 and you know, you're probably not, you know, the badass you thought you were.

00:23:16.000 There's been a seismic shift there and I see what you're doing,

00:23:19.000 but those watching who always ask, hey, what can we do?

00:23:22.000 You know, if you have kids or you're young, you get involved in those chapters,

00:23:26.000 you'll see that there's so many more like you.

00:23:27.000 And once you get in that sort of group, you know, it instills a level of confidence

00:23:31.000 that doesn't otherwise exist.

00:23:32.000 I mean, what other themes did you see from this weekend, Charlie, as you're watching, you know, this evolution?

00:23:37.000 I see you on college campuses all the time.

00:23:39.000 I know we've done a bunch of those, you know, stops together.

00:23:42.000 Are you seeing that?

00:23:43.000 I mean, you see sort of, let's call it, you know, frat boy summer. 0.95

00:23:46.000 Because if I said, you know, white boy summer, they'd kill me. 0.96

00:23:47.000 You know, you're not allowed to say that. 0.86

00:23:49.000 And by the way, some of those frat boys are not white boys.

00:23:51.000 So it's like, you know, There's a pushback to that mentality, and I didn't think those guys would be people, you know, saving the country along with our truckers, but they've had enough, and they're willing to actually speak up, and I guess they're in a powerful enough band and group that they feel comfortable doing so, and when they do, everyone's like, yeah!

00:24:09.000 Like, more of that!

00:24:10.000 Like, that's great!

00:24:11.000 Like, don't let our flag hit the ground, and don't let the communists take over.

00:24:16.000 No, that's exactly right.

00:24:17.000 So the first theme was action, action, action, which is the need to become a force multiplier.

00:24:23.000 We had thousands of the 8,700 people that attended that declared that they want to become precinct committeemen, that said that they want to go register voters.

00:24:31.000 voters that they're going to go become a force multiplier.

00:24:33.000 We actually have an open contest right now and your listeners and

00:24:36.000 your audience can engage in this, which is if you register 25 new

00:24:40.000 voters to vote, I will send you a copy of right wing revolution.

00:24:43.000 If you register a hundred new voters to vote, you can come on the Charlie Kirk show.

00:24:47.000 If you register 250 new voters.

00:24:49.000 I will fly you out to Phoenix.

00:24:51.000 We'll have lunch and you can come on the Charlie Kirk show and have like a whole, you know, a nice vacation with a friend of yours.

00:24:56.000 This is what we need to do.

00:24:57.000 And because the low prop summer, everyone calls like, what is the summer?

00:25:01.000 It's low prop summer because Don, this election will be made or broken based on people that are less likely to vote.

00:25:09.000 That has never been the case before for Republicans.

00:25:11.000 It used to be that high propensity voters were more likely to be a Republican.

00:25:15.000 Low-propensity voters more likely to be Democrats.

00:25:17.000 The game has completely changed.

00:25:18.000 What does that mean?

00:25:19.000 What does low-propensity voter mean?

00:25:21.000 These are people that are welders, electricians.

00:25:24.000 They are police officers, but their voting history is like, yeah, I don't vote.

00:25:28.000 I don't vote, but I will vote for Trump.

00:25:30.000 We have to find these people.

00:25:32.000 We have to register in the vote.

00:25:33.000 Just yesterday, Don, I had someone come up to me in Scottsdale.

00:25:36.000 Charlie, I'm a huge fan.

00:25:36.000 I follow you on TikTok.

00:25:37.000 I watch all your stuff.

00:25:38.000 Can I have a selfie?

00:25:39.000 I say, are you registered to vote?

00:25:40.000 No, I haven't got a chance to do it.

00:25:41.000 I'm like, pull out your phone, tpaction.com slash vote.

00:25:44.000 Let's get you registered.

00:25:44.000 Boom.

00:25:45.000 One new voter right there.

00:25:46.000 We have someone coming on the show that has registered 230 new voters in the last month in Pennsylvania alone.

00:25:52.000 This makes a big difference, Don.

00:25:53.000 When we're talking about 10,000 votes here and 5,000 votes here.

00:25:56.000 So that right now, the summer, making the summer count, not just looking at polls and going to rallies, but doing the difficult work every day.

00:26:04.000 That was what that event was really about.

00:26:06.000 It was great to hear from other speakers, hear from yourself and all that, but actually turning that enthusiasm and that energy into action was a primary takeaway from our amazing event in Detroit.

00:26:17.000 And final thing I'll say is, to quote Jussie Smollett, I don't think Detroit is usually MAGA country.

00:26:23.000 And we turned Detroit into MAGA country.

00:26:25.000 It's pretty awesome.

00:26:26.000 Yeah, no, well give us the URL again, just so everyone, you know, again, if you're involved, I mean, everyone loves a free vacation, they want to figure out how to do that, but if you can do that and, uh, you know, make some serious grounds, I think that's incredibly important.

00:26:39.000 It's tpaction.com slash vote.

00:26:42.000 That is a universal voter registration portal that links to all 50 states.

00:26:47.000 So if you're trying to register voters in Montana, which we have to win that Senate race, right?

00:26:52.000 They will click Montana and that person can register to vote right there on that portal.

00:26:56.000 So it is a 50 state jumping off point tpaction.com slash vote.

00:27:01.000 Yeah, and you guys have been doing a great job.

00:27:03.000 I mean, Turning Point's been one of those organizations, TP Action certainly, that has really gotten out there, that's doing a lot of the work that we probably should have seen from the Republican Party for a long time.

00:27:12.000 But, you know, if leadership was missing there and it just wasn't happening, you guys have been one of the few guys that have really stepped up and taken it.

00:27:19.000 And now it's great to see, you know, people working at least in conjunction, not overlapping and not looking for credit.

00:27:24.000 Don't really care.

00:27:25.000 Let's just get to the end result.

00:27:27.000 You know, that's what the other side has done for so long.

00:27:29.000 Charlie, I want to ask, you know, I was recently in El Salvador.

00:27:33.000 I was there for, you know, President Bukele's re-election and it's really stunning to see how good leadership can turn a country around.

00:27:39.000 Literally one of the most crime-ridden countries in the world to one of the least in like five years.

00:27:45.000 You know, does a Bukele in a place like El Salvador, does it, you know, when you see what's going on in Argentina with Mille, when you see sort of elections around the world going towards the conservative side, does that give you hope? 0.92

00:28:00.000 Oh yeah.

00:28:01.000 And we talk about this in the book.

00:28:02.000 And again, the book was finalized and written before some of these huge electoral victories.

00:28:08.000 But look at France right now.

00:28:09.000 Look at Belgium.

00:28:10.000 Look at Germany. 0.71

00:28:11.000 Look at the Netherlands, Argentina, El Salvador.

00:28:13.000 And what El Salvador shows is that crime is a choice.

00:28:18.000 Let me say that again.

00:28:19.000 High crime is a choice.

00:28:21.000 And that's what is so amazing is that the rapings, the muggings, the murders that are happening in America, we are choosing to allow that to happen.

00:28:28.000 It is a choice.

00:28:30.000 Bukele was like, yeah, I don't want to live in a dangerous country anymore. 0.94

00:28:32.000 We're going to round them up.

00:28:33.000 We're going to arrest them.

00:28:34.000 And he got a lot of heat from that from America, but I think he got heat because it made them look bad.

00:28:39.000 And now El Salvador is a safe country.

00:28:41.000 One of the safest in the world and the safest in the Western Hemisphere.

00:28:45.000 And so, that's that kind of right-wing correction where we want kids to be able to walk to school. 0.97

00:28:50.000 We want people to be able to jog on hiking trails.

00:28:53.000 You know, that woman in Maryland who was murdered by that El Salvadorian! 1.00

00:28:56.000 And so look, they're leaving El Salvador, literally leaves El Salvador because he's afraid Bukele is going to arrest him, comes here and murders a woman.

00:29:03.000 And because he went to the southern border and Joe Biden didn't check the background check and Joe Biden didn't do a DNA test and Joe Biden and his team did not call the El Salvadorian government, comes in, boom, murders an American.

00:29:14.000 We see that happening every single day.

00:29:16.000 Open borders is a choice.

00:29:17.000 Decline is a choice.

00:29:19.000 Inflation is a choice.

00:29:20.000 And our leaders are choosing that because our leaders don't care about the well-being of our country.

00:29:25.000 They care about their own livelihood.

00:29:26.000 They care about their own prestige.

00:29:29.000 This is why Donald Trump's movement is so feared.

00:29:31.000 This is why Donald Trump...

00:29:32.000 I think is hopefully going to be ultimately successful if you'll be able to chase ballots

00:29:36.000 and register voters. I'd still give us a 50-50 shot, but I think our movement should win because

00:29:41.000 of all these different elements that are happening right now. And so, look, we look at Bukele,

00:29:47.000 and the final point I'll say is this, is that he was willing to do what was right,

00:29:51.000 I do.

00:29:51.000 It's our website because they always say, if you're not getting the results you want, build your own.

00:29:56.000 So guys like me, guys like you, we do that.

00:29:58.000 and Don, they can find it at 45books.com.

00:30:00.000 You know that website?

00:30:01.000 I do, I do.

00:30:02.000 So it's our website because like they always say, right?

00:30:05.000 If you're not getting the results you want, build your own.

00:30:07.000 So, you know, guys like me, guys like you, we do that.

00:30:09.000 You've built an organization.

00:30:11.000 I built a publishing house, news organization, et cetera, et cetera, to try to combat everything that's there.

00:30:16.000 And I do believe that we have hope.

00:30:17.000 I saw the difference.

00:30:18.000 I was in the UK last week, Charlie.

00:30:20.000 We had a big fundraiser, a lot of expats.

00:30:22.000 I think it was like a record-setting expat fundraiser, because Americans living abroad realized what's going on as well.

00:30:27.000 And you see the problems that you're dealing with in London and stuff like that.

00:30:30.000 I mean, Derek Jisora, you know, He's a black British heavyweight, shows up to the fundraiser wearing a Make America Great Again hat.

00:30:38.000 You know, guys, even non-Americans are seeing it.

00:30:40.000 But then I went to Hungary and I got to sit down with Viktor Orban, the president over there, the only guy that's like, nope, we're not taking unvetted migrants, we're just not doing it. 1.00

00:30:48.000 The country was immaculate.

00:30:51.000 It was like so perfect and you look at that versus the streets of London and what's happening and like these once great cities just being destroyed by unfettered immigration and you know of course in the media Orban's a terrible guy but he's loved by his people because they're not seeing a 12,000% increase in rapes in two years because of only one reason.

00:31:10.000 They're not seeing crime and beatings and stabbings in their streets.

00:31:14.000 It's amazing if you have some Yeah, I'll say it.

00:31:17.000 If you have some balls, you stand up to that narrative, you stand up to the globalists, you stand up to the media, you can actually deliver for your people.

00:31:25.000 It is possible. 0.56

00:31:26.000 It's not just one guy like Bukele in El Salvador.

00:31:30.000 They're doing it in Europe.

00:31:31.000 And that, frankly, as far as I'm concerned, Hungary and Orban could be the last hope for Europe.

00:31:38.000 Yeah, and they hate Orban.

00:31:39.000 Boy, and they hate him.

00:31:40.000 I think they hate Orban for the same reason they hate Bukele. 1.00

00:31:42.000 It makes him look bad.

00:31:43.000 And so this is a test.

00:31:45.000 And Don, I'm sure you would agree.

00:31:47.000 Would you allow your daughter to walk the streets of Budapest at 3 a.m.?

00:31:52.000 I saw it.

00:31:52.000 Like, literally, there was nothing.

00:31:55.000 No crime, no camps, no encampments.

00:31:57.000 How about Los Angeles?

00:31:58.000 Zero chance.

00:31:59.000 3 a.m.

00:31:59.000 in Los Angeles.

00:32:00.000 Zero chance.

00:32:01.000 There you go.

00:32:02.000 Same with New York.

00:32:02.000 And I grew up there.

00:32:03.000 Listen, when I was a young kid, I'd go out in New York till 4 o'clock in the morning, and I'd take a subway home.

00:32:11.000 Or walk the streets.

00:32:13.000 Zero issue whatsoever.

00:32:15.000 It wouldn't matter at all.

00:32:17.000 I wouldn't even think about doing it myself today, let alone having my daughters.

00:32:20.000 I know women, they're professionals, they work on Wall Street or they work at big law firms. 1.00

00:32:26.000 They're literally commuting in groups because they're afraid to go through the major train stations of New York City for fear of being attacked and or raped because it's just happening now.

00:32:36.000 It's not, and it is a choice.

00:32:37.000 People have done it for 20 years, 30 years, commutes, and it's like, I can't do it alone

00:32:41.000 anymore.

00:32:42.000 They got to essentially carpool on a train to get into the city.

00:32:45.000 That's scary stuff, and that's not sustainable for the future.

00:32:49.000 It's not, and it is a choice.

00:32:51.000 And isn't it amazing, the small country of Hungary, I totally agree, that I would be

00:32:55.000 okay with my wife and my daughter walking the streets.

00:32:58.000 Doesn't, like, great.

00:32:59.000 Terrific.

00:33:00.000 But if they were like, hey, we're in Seattle and we're taking a stroll at 1 a.m.

00:33:04.000 in the morning, like, get off the streets!

00:33:06.000 Are you kidding me?

00:33:06.000 Are you out of your... And that's our own country.

00:33:09.000 Exactly. 1.00

00:33:09.000 You'd be filing for divorce because they're stupid. 1.00

00:33:12.000 It's like... 1.00

00:33:15.000 I think that illustrates a really important point where we need that sort of right-wing correction revolution.

00:33:25.000 You can have a high stock market and you can have a great economy, but if you cannot walk the streets at night and feel safe in the city of which you are in, You have a serious problem in your country, and I think Donald Trump can go about saving that largely.

00:33:38.000 And I envy Dubai and Singapore and Budapest that are these really safe places where people are able to walk the streets and crime is almost nothing.

00:33:47.000 You don't have to lock your doors.

00:33:48.000 I wish we had the same here in America, and we need to get it back.

00:33:51.000 I really appreciate it, Charlie.

00:33:53.000 Give us again the book, where people can find it.

00:33:57.000 Obviously, you can get it if you don't want to go to Amazon, because I know a lot of our people do not want to support sort of the woke beast.

00:34:02.000 It is there, just because you've got to get it out there.

00:34:04.000 And it's doing very well on Amazon, too.

00:34:07.000 That's going to drive them crazy. 0.88

00:34:08.000 We get it to number one on Amazon and then buy direct at 45 books so we don't have to feed the Bezos beast.

00:34:13.000 Exactly.

00:34:15.000 So, 45books.com, we haven't really promoted at all, and we're number two in political commentary on Amazon, so that's really cool.

00:34:22.000 That's a tough category, by the way.

00:34:24.000 We'll probably hit number one soon.

00:34:25.000 We're top 50 in all books on Amazon, but more importantly, don't give the money to Bezos.

00:34:29.000 Go to 45books.com.

00:34:30.000 You can get a signed copy there as well.

00:34:33.000 It has literally over 50 pages of footnotes.

00:34:35.000 You will learn something.

00:34:36.000 There's a ton of data and knowledge here, a lot of my life experiences.

00:34:39.000 Thanks so much, Don.

00:34:40.000 Really appreciate it.

00:34:41.000 Really appreciate it, Charlie.

00:34:42.000 Thank you very much.

00:34:43.000 And guys, you know, make sure to check that out for those of you who always ask, hey, what can we do?

00:34:47.000 How do we win this battle?

00:34:49.000 How do we take it out there?

00:34:50.000 Like, so much of that isn't in this book, whether it's you wanting to get activated, wanting to get involved.

00:34:55.000 Like I said, I know because I published it because I started a publishing house.

00:34:58.000 Because guys like Charlie, people like Carrie Lake or Marjorie Taylor Greene or so many, like, they just wouldn't be able to get published elsewhere.

00:35:05.000 So me and a partner, Uh, start at 45books.com to literally publish those who the major publishing houses were trying to silence.

00:35:12.000 I saw it myself, uh, when I did my first book, Triggered.

00:35:16.000 Uh, actually, shockingly, it went to number one on the New York Times bestseller list, uh, because it outperformed the number two book by like 4x that they really couldn't...

00:35:25.000 You know, screw me, and they wanted to.

00:35:26.000 My second book, I did the same thing.

00:35:28.000 They didn't even, they wouldn't acknowledge it.

00:35:30.000 It would have been another number one.

00:35:31.000 They wouldn't acknowledge it.

00:35:32.000 It became number one on Amazon, on Barnes & Noble, on Books a Million.

00:35:35.000 They did whatever they could.

00:35:36.000 They wouldn't even, you know, books that sold almost nothing were on the New York Times bestseller list.

00:35:40.000 The one that would have been number one, they didn't even acknowledge.

00:35:43.000 And so, we try to take some of that power away from them and, you know, publish it ourselves.

00:35:47.000 So, definitely check it out at 45books.com if you know young people that need to hear about these things.

00:35:52.000 Uh, you know, learn something outside of the other, uh, you know, the normal narrative.

00:35:56.000 Uh, you know, maybe get it for them.

00:35:58.000 Uh, but it is definitely a roadmap for what we can do for the future.

00:36:02.000 Uh, and again, I think it's really important to do that.

00:36:05.000 Charlie has been a great warrior.

00:36:06.000 So, guys, also, remember to make sure you're putting the parallel economy at the center of every purchase with Public Square.

00:36:56.000 Well guys, joining me now, host of the Battleground podcast here on Rumble, the author of Outlaw Platoon, Special Forces Veteran, Senior Advisor to the Keystone Renewal Pack, my good friend, Sean Parnell.

00:37:09.000 Sean, you were one of the first guys, I think, I think my first guest ever on the podcast, so good to have you back as always.

00:37:17.000 No one knew that I even had a podcast at the time and I still think it's like one of the funniest ones ever because we just...

00:37:23.000 Yeah, we did.

00:37:27.000 We talked about combat.

00:37:28.000 We talked about, you know, the stolen election of 2020.

00:37:31.000 We talked about lawfare before lawfare on your family and your father was really in full swing.

00:37:40.000 You know?

00:37:40.000 And what's really crazy, Don, that that wasn't our first rodeo on the show.

00:37:46.000 Like, you came out to support my campaign way back in 2020 in a heavily Democrat area, and we had like 5,000 people there.

00:37:56.000 Ted Nugent.

00:37:58.000 You asked the audience, like, how many of you are Democrats?

00:38:01.000 Like, 70% of them raised their hand.

00:38:03.000 Remember that?

00:38:04.000 It was absolutely crazy.

00:38:05.000 Really good times.

00:38:06.000 Well, you know, listen, you experienced some of, you know, the nonsense they've tried putting my father through yourself.

00:38:12.000 I mean, you know, you ran a great race there.

00:38:14.000 I think you converted a lot of people.

00:38:15.000 They played lots of games in that race.

00:38:17.000 You then, you know, sort of put your, you know, hat in the ring to run for, you know, the United States Senate.

00:38:23.000 And then someone again, you're on TV a lot, you've written books, you're, you know, and then they went after you with all sorts of nonsense. 0.98

00:38:31.000 And I read literally this week that, you know, after three years of Bullshit, or just call it what it is. 0.99

00:38:37.000 You know, now it's all dropped. 0.88

00:38:39.000 It's like, you know, they always get to do that.

00:38:41.000 I mean, that was a form of lawfare as well.

00:38:43.000 And they do it to anyone who's going to actually fight back.

00:38:46.000 Oh, Don, listen.

00:38:47.000 So in 2020, I got to tell you, like, we'll talk through the progression here.

00:38:53.000 I witnessed the fraud.

00:38:56.000 I was there on the ground.

00:38:59.000 I spoke with your dad on stage four times.

00:39:02.000 When he came in late October to Butler County, that was my area where there were 65,000 plus people there.

00:39:09.000 I've never seen anything like it in my life.

00:39:11.000 And I'm from, like, fourth generation Western Pennsylvania. 0.83

00:39:15.000 Born and raised in Pennsylvania my whole freaking life.

00:39:18.000 Never seen anything like that for any political candidate ever. 0.75

00:39:21.000 You should have seen the people at that Butler County Rally, Don, where people were walking for miles just to get there through the open fields, through the roads.

00:39:30.000 I mean, it was unbelievable.

00:39:32.000 And we, I'm telling you, for weeks, for weeks leading up to that race, Both your father and I talked and put out there over and over and over again that there is something wrong that the Democrats and just in Allegheny County alone, which is in Western Pennsylvania, my district at the time had 85% of Allegheny County where the Democrats sent

00:39:56.000 Yeah.

00:39:56.000 ballots, over 30,000 ballots, not ballot applications, to the wrong addresses.

00:40:02.000 And I had to go into federal court to fight Mark Elias and the Democrat machine because

00:40:08.000 their argument was literally this, Don, count every ballot, even the ballots from outside

00:40:14.000 the district.

00:40:15.000 I'm like, I don't understand.

00:40:16.000 And they're like, no, no, no.

00:40:17.000 I mean, people voted.

00:40:18.000 They thought they were voting.

00:40:19.000 So we should count them.

00:40:20.000 They're not in the district.

00:40:22.000 Here's the thing.

00:40:23.000 If the Democrats are willing to argue in court, in open court to commit election fraud, what do you think they're willing to do behind the scenes?

00:40:31.000 So we saw that and we're like, I'd never, and believe me, like, You mentioned it, Don.

00:40:36.000 I'm a political outsider.

00:40:38.000 Your dad called me out to run randomly, so I did.

00:40:41.000 I get in this thing.

00:40:43.000 I'm an America First guy.

00:40:45.000 I'm a conservative.

00:40:47.000 I'm a Republican.

00:40:48.000 Because I'm a constitutional conservative, I guess that means I'm a Republican.

00:40:53.000 But running for office, I gotta look behind the curtain on both sides of the aisle.

00:40:56.000 I'm not trying to paint in broad strokes here.

00:40:58.000 But just because you're a Republican does not mean you're beyond reproach.

00:41:02.000 And I think you know exactly what I mean.

00:41:04.000 But I'm not somebody that has been wired into politics my whole life.

00:41:08.000 I call it like I see it.

00:41:10.000 So we saw what happened in 2020, Don.

00:41:12.000 Turned around and said, this can't happen again, and ran for Senate.

00:41:16.000 And honestly, man, let me give you a sense.

00:41:19.000 And tell me if this sounds familiar to you.

00:41:22.000 Because looking back on this thing in hindsight, I think it's going to give a special perspective both to you, your viewers, and listeners.

00:41:31.000 So I'm running for Senate.

00:41:33.000 And we start getting internal polling a year out from election day that we're up six on Fetterman, six internal polling.

00:41:41.000 So this is amazing, right?

00:41:44.000 So somewhere along the way in June, July of 2000 and 2021, 2021.

00:41:49.000 We're pulling ahead of the pack in the primary.

00:41:52.000 I got just gotten your endorsement.

00:41:53.000 We're 30 points ahead of anybody else.

00:41:56.000 I get this like notification that every judge in my area, because at the time I was at the time I was going through a divorce, super mundane stuff, like, like, like no issues really whatsoever.

00:42:09.000 But I get this thing.

00:42:11.000 This notification from my lawyer that every judge in my area, in my county, every single one, blanket recuses my case.

00:42:19.000 And at the time, I'm like, huh, this is kind of strange.

00:42:25.000 And I'm thinking, Don, like, I'm thinking like, look, half the country has been divorced.

00:42:30.000 You know, half the country has gone through custody issues.

00:42:33.000 I'm just thinking like, well, this is family court.

00:42:35.000 You know, like it's it's not like a political thing.

00:42:38.000 It's just how it is.

00:42:39.000 You know, like I didn't think anything of it at the time.

00:42:41.000 Right.

00:42:42.000 And so out of nowhere, we get this we get this judge, senior judge who's specially appointed to just my case.

00:42:53.000 Not from my area, not beholden to the voters, like, oh by the way, he's a hardcore Democrat.

00:43:00.000 Like a hardcore Democrat.

00:43:02.000 I know a little bit about this, you know.

00:43:04.000 Like I know!

00:43:05.000 You have to pay a half a billion dollar fine because someone from not the commercial division was citing major real estate cases and you know.

00:43:15.000 I'm confused how that magically happens, only to us.

00:43:17.000 It just magically happens.

00:43:19.000 Magically happens in the most important Senate race in our country, right?

00:43:23.000 In Pennsylvania.

00:43:25.000 Pennsylvania's the linchpin for everything.

00:43:27.000 And so, September 1st comes along.

00:43:29.000 Get this.

00:43:30.000 So your dad endorses me on September 1st.

00:43:33.000 Like, the primary is over.

00:43:35.000 And we're like, on to the general.

00:43:38.000 That exact same day, and I have the email, but that exact same day, less than a couple hours after your father endorses me, my VA medical records leak to the press.

00:43:50.000 And all of a sudden the media starts, seriously, Seriously, like my medical records.

00:43:55.000 I've been wounded in combat a couple of times. 0.92

00:43:58.000 I was diagnosed after coming back from Afghanistan with PTSD, which by the way, if you're in heavy combat for 16 months and you don't have PTSD, you're probably not- You're probably a sociopath.

00:44:10.000 Exactly, exactly.

00:44:13.000 So the media starts immediately painting me as like this crazy combat veteran that's about to climb a bell tower with a sniper rifle.

00:44:22.000 Meanwhile, I've got absolutely no criminal history at all.

00:44:28.000 I had a top-secret government security clearance when I was in the army.

00:44:31.000 Not just that.

00:44:32.000 I was a courier of top-secret government information when I was a young captain up at Fort Drum, New York.

00:44:38.000 Like, my background is absolutely perfect, but the media starts running with this fake narrative, and we get in court, and the rest is history. 0.96

00:44:46.000 I should have known that the moment that I walked my ass into that courtroom, that the verdict was preordained.

00:44:53.000 After looking at what your father went through with Tish James up in New York and Sloppy Alvin Bragg up in New York and Juan Marchand up in New York, it was all rigged from the very beginning. 0.96

00:45:06.000 And by the way, for those people who are watching, if you're thinking that I'm pissed off about this, it's because I am.

00:45:15.000 For no reason at all.

00:45:16.000 None.

00:45:16.000 The media ran with this fake abuse narrative, fake child abuser narrative.

00:45:21.000 I've met his kids.

00:45:22.000 I've seen him at his rally cheering and giving me high fives.

00:45:28.000 They were everywhere with me.

00:45:30.000 In Western Pennsylvania, everybody knows me and my children and my daughter.

00:45:35.000 People used to call my daughter Emma the Ivanka Trump of Western Pennsylvania.

00:45:39.000 People People know that this is BS, especially in my area, but the media had one goal and one goal only, and that was to get me out of the race and hurt my family.

00:45:50.000 And by the way, as horrible as this judge's ruling was, because he made me essentially a visitor in the lives of my children for two freaking years while I had to fight this whole process out, thankfully now I'm fully vindicated, have shared legal, shared physical custody.

00:46:05.000 I've never met kids in my life in a better custody deal than ever before, but it took two freaking years, Don.

00:46:11.000 Imagine you have some guy who's never met your kid, maybe meets him for 15 minutes apiece, and then takes legal custody?

00:46:20.000 So the state, despite me having no criminal background whatsoever, no history of abuse, drugs, alcohol, nothing, the state came in and took legal custody of my kids.

00:46:31.000 Criminals in Pennsylvania, the incarcerated in Pennsylvania, sex offenders in Pennsylvania, you don't lose legal custody of your children, but the state did that to me to just embroil me in a ridiculous entanglement of the court system for two years.

00:46:47.000 And the main reason why he did it, Don, and this is no bullshit, this is public record, anybody that's watching, listening, go read the damn order for yourself, Because right in the order where he said the main reason why he gave all of this to why he why he took custody of my kids away from me is that I was a leading candidate for Senate. 0.90

00:47:05.000 Yeah, it's no question. 0.95

00:47:07.000 That's why I tell people, if you're a little bit pissed off about this stuff, you're not pissed off enough.

00:47:13.000 If they can do it to Trump, they can do it to anyone, and I think you're the perfect example of that.

00:47:17.000 I remember, I endorsed you way early in this thing, got my father, I was like, Sean's the perfect guy, combat vet, great, well-spoken guy, smart, he gets it, and also has a blue-collar appeal that You didn't get I like I literally remember I was I was driving from a hunting camp during this is like still primary time from a hunting camp in South Dakota to Montana like a seven hour drive.

00:47:43.000 I was by myself and my buddy does a lot of political comms is like, hey man, you know, we got a problem, you know, Dr. Oz is entering the race.

00:47:50.000 I was like, man, that's going to be hard for Sean to beat in like a general because he'll probably have all the celebs and he's like, no, no, dude.

00:47:56.000 He's he's running as a Republican.

00:47:58.000 I go, wait, what?

00:47:59.000 Like, I know the guy.

00:48:00.000 Like, I like the guy.

00:48:01.000 I don't know.

00:48:01.000 You know, like, I like the guy socially.

00:48:03.000 He's actually a very nice guy.

00:48:04.000 He's been really decent to me, but I was like, he's a Republican?

00:48:08.000 I was like, what's happening here?

00:48:10.000 And so you could see all of that.

00:48:12.000 So, you know, I think people have to be aware, like when I say it all the time, like, You know, Donald Trump's just the start of this.

00:48:18.000 If you don't think they'll do it to anyone that gets in their way, you haven't been paying attention.

00:48:22.000 But, you know, Sean, I do want to talk about Pennsylvania, because it's such a critical state.

00:48:27.000 You're involved, you're entrenched, especially Western PA, where, you know, obviously you have a long history of sort of Democrat voters and, you know, blue collar Democrats.

00:48:35.000 I think they've been failed.

00:48:36.000 But how can we make sure we beat Joe Biden in Pennsylvania?

00:48:40.000 And, you know, talk about some of the efforts that you're out there doing that to secure the vote, to restore.

00:48:45.000 Some integrity into what's clearly a broken system.

00:48:49.000 If it was a fair election held today, it's one of the biggest blowouts in the world.

00:48:55.000 We have to win by such a big margin.

00:48:57.000 It has to be too big to rig.

00:48:59.000 Talk about that.

00:49:00.000 How do we do it?

00:49:01.000 What are you doing?

00:49:02.000 Well, first of all, Don, let me tell you, there is something too big to rig.

00:49:07.000 Because, listen, the Democrats, they cheat.

00:49:10.000 Okay, and they've been cheating in elections since 1864 when they tried to carry mail-in ballots or absentee ballots for dead Union soldiers across state lines in New York City to defeat Abraham Lincoln.

00:49:23.000 This is something that the Democrats have been doing for a long time, but they can only do it on the margins and insofar as the voter rolls allow them to do so.

00:49:33.000 In other words, what I mean by that is that Donald Trump is performing in what could be historic fashion with Latino and Black Americans, earning more Black and Latino support than almost any other Republican, going all the way back to Gerald Ford.

00:49:48.000 These people are traditional Democrat voters, but if they're showing up on election day and pulling the lever for Donald Trump, there's nothing that Democrats can do about that.

00:49:59.000 That's where your dad- I actually don't know if I believe that.

00:50:03.000 I'd love to believe that.

00:50:05.000 I think that today's Democrat, if on election day they needed 400 million votes in a country of, what, 335 million people?

00:50:13.000 They would be like, no, but it's the most fair election ever.

00:50:20.000 That's the point.

00:50:21.000 Ten years ago, I would have said, you know what, maybe they have some shame.

00:50:24.000 They know they can only do so much as they roll Joe Biden's gurney over the finish line like a weekend at Bernie's.

00:50:31.000 I don't think they have that shame anymore.

00:50:33.000 You know, I used to believe, you know, a key tenet of, you know, they're, you know, when they talk about democracy, we know it's just, that's like a joke for them.

00:50:39.000 They're laughing their asses off as they joke about democracy.

00:50:42.000 We take it pretty seriously.

00:50:43.000 You know, a key tenet of that democracy and the principles thereof are that people actually believe Uh, in it.

00:50:51.000 You know, I think they'd give Joe Biden the biggest win in the history of presidential elections or just enough to get by if he was, you know, again, dead in a weekend at Bernie's and they wouldn't think twice about it.

00:51:02.000 There is no shame.

00:51:03.000 There is no honor.

00:51:04.000 It doesn't matter.

00:51:05.000 There's nothing they won't do in my opinion.

00:51:07.000 Well, look, I agree.

00:51:09.000 I mean, I agree.

00:51:10.000 They absolutely cheated on many different levels to rig the system in 2020.

00:51:17.000 Even with that, Don, let me give you some perspective about how what we're doing now is fighting and building an infrastructure.

00:51:25.000 Exactly like the Democrats.

00:51:26.000 You've helped so much with that with Skip the Line, right, in Pennsylvania.

00:51:30.000 Basically, what we're doing is registering Republican voters, right, and then we're making sure that we add them to the automatic opt-in mail-in ballot program, which, yes, I know most people are like, oh, mail-in ballots.

00:51:42.000 We gotta play the game.

00:51:43.000 We gotta play the game.

00:51:45.000 They can't have a six week long election day and we just hope for sunny weather so people don't sit at home because it's raining.

00:51:50.000 That doesn't work.

00:51:51.000 Listen, let me give you a military analogy and let me break it down by the numbers.

00:51:55.000 In combat, if you fight in the same way and you establish patterns, your enemy looks at you, watches you, analyzes those patterns, and then comes up with a plan to beat you on the battlefield.

00:52:08.000 That's why in combat, leaders always have to change the game.

00:52:12.000 Politics is just like war, but without the bullets, Don.

00:52:15.000 So as Republicans, as a movement, as someone who's trying to win elections, we can't fight the same way all the time.

00:52:21.000 In other words, just show up on election day because the Democrats know that's exactly what we want to do, that's exactly what we prefer to do.

00:52:29.000 So all of a sudden on election day, Republicans show up to a precinct, there's no Republican ballots, or there's traffic, or there's construction. 0.97

00:52:37.000 Or God forbid shit happens, right? 0.82

00:52:39.000 Like, you know, somebody's got to work overtime. 0.98

00:52:42.000 The point is, is that if you bank your vote, and you turn in a mail-in ballot, and our strategy right now, and here, like, this is so important for people to understand.

00:52:52.000 Initially, it was, let's find what we would call low-propensity voters.

00:52:56.000 So, your dad brings out He's a turnout machine.

00:53:02.000 People that have never voted before in their life, or maybe one of four voters, a one of four voter is somebody that votes one time out of four election cycles.

00:53:11.000 Most of the time, we're finding that person showed up for your dad and your dad only.

00:53:15.000 Let's get them a ballot, right?

00:53:17.000 Let's make sure that Republicans have a floor in off-cycle races and in midterm races, because that's what the Democrats have done.

00:53:25.000 That's how they were able to What should have been a red wave in 22.

00:53:31.000 They had a floor of people on this automatic opt-in mail-in ballot program, and because they had all these people automatically opted in, they were able to surgically use their resources to build on that list.

00:53:43.000 Okay, so that's what we're doing right now, and we're bringing in low-propensity Republican voters in Pennsylvania in historic fashion.

00:53:50.000 I mean, 50, 60,000 low-propensity voters already added to our list.

00:53:56.000 But what we found about high-propensity voters is really unbelievable, Don.

00:54:02.000 I'm telling you.

00:54:04.000 Three of four voters, four of four voters, Don.

00:54:08.000 These are what you would call high-propensity Republican voters.

00:54:12.000 People that are showing up three out of four election cycles, four out of four election cycles.

00:54:17.000 In the year of 2020, the margin, and of course I use the term loosely, Don, but the margin in 2020 was 80,000 votes.

00:54:26.000 Razor-thin margin, even with all of the shenanigans and cheating that the Democrats did, it was still only 80,000.

00:54:33.000 In 2020, between three of four voters and four of four voters, over 120,000 high-propensity Republican voters just didn't show up.

00:54:46.000 I mean, think about that.

00:54:48.000 What was that?

00:54:50.000 Was it just the media narrative?

00:54:51.000 Trump's killing your grandmother with COVID and, you know, even a lot more deaths under Joe Biden, but they won't talk about that, right?

00:54:57.000 I mean, yeah, look, Don, I mean, you know, we've got 12 million plus people in the state. 1.00

00:55:02.000 And what I say is just like, shit happens, you know? 0.99

00:55:06.000 People have issues in their life. 0.99

00:55:07.000 You know, Republicans, like, working a 9-to-5, oftentimes working overtime.

00:55:12.000 They've got kids that are in sports extracurriculars.

00:55:15.000 There's traffic.

00:55:16.000 They just don't get to the polling.

00:55:17.000 I mean, there's a zillion reasons why someone would not show up on Election Day during the highest turnout election in our nation's history.

00:55:25.000 But when you're looking at 12 million-plus people, You know, tens of thousands of people just have issues.

00:55:32.000 They have lives.

00:55:33.000 They have kids, like, family emergencies.

00:55:35.000 And so that's why we're encouraging people, like, just fight like the Democrats, right?

00:55:41.000 Like, let's bank our vote.

00:55:43.000 And if you're still uncomfortable with that, and mail-in ballots aren't something that you're comfortable with, you can still show up on election day.

00:55:49.000 So just do both.

00:55:50.000 And so what we're doing now, Don, though, is banking the vote.

00:55:56.000 You know, with high-prop Republican voters and low-prop Republican voters.

00:56:02.000 And we're seeing just unbelievable success in doing that.

00:56:06.000 Because with your dad at the top of the ticket and us with this ground game that we have now, Don, I feel really, really good about Pennsylvania.

00:56:19.000 I just do.

00:56:20.000 Yeah, you see it, like, I feel, you know, I don't know that there was anyone, you know, with a sort of following or someone who could put a lot of asses in seats, you know, in 16 or 20 that probably did more on-the-ground events.

00:56:31.000 You know, I will say I did 104, you know, in-person events in October of 2020 during peak COVID.

00:56:38.000 Like, four a day, hard.

00:56:39.000 You know, I saw in the enthusiasm.

00:56:41.000 I see where it is.

00:56:42.000 I already see that level of enthusiasm and perhaps more, especially when you talk about like the other demographics that wouldn't have been traditional sort of Republican voters.

00:56:52.000 I see that now, five, six months out.

00:56:55.000 Is there anything that you can do to kind of to go after that sort of even the moderate Democrats? 0.99

00:57:01.000 Uh, are there, you know, because I see a lot of those people, you know, you know, again, it's, you know, it's the African American flight attendants when I'm traveling through airports, literally yelling, Trump 2024, you guys got to fix this shit, like screaming. 0.98

00:57:13.000 It's like, it's amazing. 0.96

00:57:15.000 You know, those are people, even if they were fans, they'd come up and subtly do that.

00:57:18.000 Maybe they'd be like, you know, Hidden thumbs up or something like that.

00:57:23.000 They're screaming it out loud.

00:57:24.000 So I see a huge cultural phenomenon and a shift.

00:57:30.000 Is there a way to go after those voters or figure out where they may be?

00:57:33.000 Because again, I don't know that you want to help the Democrats register more people.

00:57:36.000 They'll make up their own registrations.

00:57:38.000 What do you see there?

00:57:40.000 Well, I think what you have to do, in Pennsylvania for a guy like me, I come from a blue-collar Union Democrat family.

00:57:47.000 My father came over here, worked at Weirton West, which is a subsidiary of U.S.

00:57:53.000 Steel.

00:57:53.000 My grandmother worked there.

00:57:55.000 My aunt worked there.

00:57:56.000 So I come from, my grandfather was a member of two unions.

00:58:01.000 And so with blue-collar Union Democrats, most of these people are pro-life, they're pro-gun.

00:58:08.000 In Beaver County, for example, Where Trump force 47 just opened up a brand new field office there.

00:58:16.000 I spoke at the grand opening, Don.

00:58:18.000 Beaver County in 2020 used to have about 11,000 more registered Democrats than Republicans.

00:58:24.000 Now we have a 1,200-person vote advantage right there in the heart of Western Pennsylvania in what was a traditionally Democrat county.

00:58:33.000 What you have to do is go after those voters and tell them that you will be there for them.

00:58:39.000 It's something that your dad has done since he came down the golden escalator in 2016 extraordinarily well.

00:58:46.000 Basically, if I If I left my house right now and drove 30 minutes in any direction, you would drive through three Western Pennsylvania towns that are dilapidated and damn near derelict because of Democrats and Republicans leaving those people behind, sending their jobs overseas, outsourcing American manufacturing.

00:59:08.000 And when this happens, and again, both Democrats and Republicans.

00:59:12.000 The Republicans aren't without fault in all the disasters that our country is going through.

00:59:16.000 Absolutely right.

00:59:17.000 They've had a hand in this over the last 50 years.

00:59:19.000 And when this happens, when when when Weirton West closes, you know, Little League, you know, first of all, the tax revenue in those towns dry up.

00:59:28.000 Little League sponsorships dry up.

00:59:30.000 People move away.

00:59:31.000 People that have worked in legacy union jobs their entire lives are now told learn to code by reporters and mainstream Democrats.

00:59:39.000 These towns don't recover.

00:59:41.000 And for the first time in a long time, someone like your dad comes around and says, no, I haven't forgotten about you.

00:59:47.000 I'm there for you.

00:59:49.000 Candidates all around the country at every single level need to learn that lesson.

00:59:55.000 You show up in the towns that feel like they're forgotten.

00:59:58.000 It doesn't matter about a political ideology.

01:00:00.000 You go there and say, I haven't forgotten about you. 0.91

01:00:03.000 I'm going to bust my ass every single day to make sure that you're remembered and have a voice in Washington. 0.98

01:00:08.000 That's what your dad does. 0.99

01:00:10.000 That's how you get those Democrats, those disaffected Democrats.

01:00:12.000 And that's what every candidate in the country needs to do.

01:00:15.000 Yeah, you saw that in East Palestine, Ohio.

01:00:17.000 You know, Trump spends a couple of days, it took the Democrat, you know, Joe Biden shows up two years later, just happened to be in an election cycle, like, wonderful, you know, we're here.

01:00:24.000 Pete Buttigieg saw Trump, you know, puts on his, you know, red mask, unworn work boots and a helmet and shows up three days later.

01:00:31.000 Takes a couple questions and leaves because he's disgusted with the people.

01:00:34.000 I mean, it really is.

01:00:36.000 I mean, there's a level of hatred, actually.

01:00:38.000 I mean, it's not even like indifference.

01:00:41.000 It's actually a hatred, it feels like to me, you know, of these sort of Washington, D.C.

01:00:46.000 and leftist elites of those blue-collar Americans.

01:00:49.000 You mentioned the sort of the learn to code thing when they, you know, it was pretty funny watching journalists do that for a while.

01:00:54.000 You know, all the guys that are, you know, roughnecks and, you know, The guys on pipelines and all that stuff when they lost their jobs with Keystone Pipeline.

01:01:01.000 But the reality is now, AI is actually replacing those journalists because what they do is not rocket science.

01:01:06.000 You can take a couple of facts, you can put it in, AI can crank out an article in 0.5 seconds.

01:01:11.000 They're the ones that are going to have to learn to code.

01:01:13.000 It's still going to take a plumber to put in a pipe.

01:01:15.000 It's still going to take workers to put up sheetrock.

01:01:21.000 It's a lot of those pseudo-elite, at least in their own mind, jobs that are being replaced by AI.

01:01:27.000 So it is interesting to watch, but I hope that people understand the legitimate hatred that those elites have for the hard-working blue-collar Americans that are out there.

01:01:38.000 I think they do, Don.

01:01:39.000 I really do.

01:01:40.000 And like so much, like so many other things in life, you just gotta show up.

01:01:45.000 Like when I was, I'll give you a quick story.

01:01:47.000 When I was running for Congress, I showed up at a union meeting, right?

01:01:51.000 In like a basketball gymnasium.

01:01:53.000 No Republicans go to these things.

01:01:55.000 Right?

01:01:56.000 You've got the union leaders at the front of the table and then two super long tables one with government unions and one with building trade unions and then there's me sitting with like this little boom mic right at the end looking at the building trades guys and just reading quotes from like you know Pete Buttigieg and Joe Biden and all these Democrats that are literally saying We're going to put you out of work.

01:02:18.000 And I look at these guys and I, whatever, government union people, you're never going to get them, right?

01:02:22.000 They're in the tank for the Democrats.

01:02:23.000 They always will be.

01:02:24.000 But you show up for the people who you think can get working class people who bust their asses every day, who have built this country from the ground up. 1.00

01:02:31.000 You show up and say, how can you back somebody who is not just going to destroy your life, but also your legacy and everything that your family has built, right?

01:02:40.000 Like you've sacrificed for this state.

01:02:42.000 You've worked long hours for this state and for our communities and the Democrats are thanking you by putting you out of work.

01:02:49.000 You can't send that message unless you're there and you can look at someone in their eyes and say, you know, it's different.

01:02:56.000 You're doing a television interview or a television ad is one thing.

01:03:00.000 It's different to show up and look those men and women in the eyes and say, I have your back.

01:03:05.000 And again, your father, for the first time in my lifetime certainly, is the only candidate on either side of the aisle to do it.

01:03:14.000 And Don, that's why the establishment, right, and especially the Democrats, the deep state blob and trans bureaucrats, call them whatever you want, that's why they're afraid of him. 0.77

01:03:25.000 They're afraid of him because he has an actual movement of Americans behind him who represent a belief in this country as it was originally founded.

01:03:37.000 You know, life, liberty, pursuit of happiness.

01:03:40.000 You work hard, you play by the rules, you can accomplish the American dream.

01:03:44.000 The Democrats, along with their allies in the deep state and above, they are destroying that, Don.

01:03:50.000 And that's why I think your father It has become, you know, all of this lawfare stuff.

01:03:56.000 I can't imagine what it's been like for your family.

01:03:58.000 I really can't.

01:03:59.000 Actually, I can.

01:04:00.000 Less than awesome.

01:04:01.000 You know, by the way, you know all too well.

01:04:02.000 I mean, you know, they're not trying to throw you in jail for 700 years, but, you know, they're trying to take away your kids, which is just about the same.

01:04:09.000 So I'm telling you.

01:04:12.000 People don't want the government involved in their lives.

01:04:16.000 Black Americans, Latinos, they feel like they got their work cut out for them to begin with.

01:04:21.000 And they see what they're doing to your dad, and they see themselves in your father, which is why I think his support is growing.

01:04:27.000 Yeah, it is interesting sort of watching, you know, the brash billionaire from New York.

01:04:31.000 He's the one that can relate to the people.

01:04:33.000 Not the people who are supposed to represent them in Congress, who literally live in their neighborhoods, and they're like, alright, who's this guy?

01:04:38.000 He's got a job?

01:04:41.000 It's crazy.

01:04:42.000 Like, I mean, you feel like you're being punked sometimes.

01:04:44.000 It's like, how is it possible that, you know, these people who are there, they want to go represent the people of their neighborhoods in Washington, D.C., and they They either hate them or have no understanding of what those people actually are like.

01:04:57.000 And this guy from New York with a billionaire lives on the 70th floor of, you know, a gilded apartment in Trump Tower can come in and be like, no, man, I get it.

01:05:03.000 Like, this makes total sense.

01:05:04.000 They're like, he gets it because he actually does.

01:05:07.000 It's crazy.

01:05:07.000 I mean, come on.

01:05:08.000 I mean, the people that work for your dad, I've heard one story after the next.

01:05:11.000 People that used to work for your father over the last, you know, 25, 30 years.

01:05:15.000 They love the guy, right?

01:05:18.000 They like him because they believe that he cares about them.

01:05:22.000 And there's something about, like, it doesn't matter how much money you make or where you come from or what God you worship, if you're authentic and you're giving people, like, no bullshit assessments of what's happening.

01:05:33.000 And this is the problem, Don.

01:05:35.000 Like, we live in a world where people don't say what they actually mean, and we've disincentivized being a decisive leader.

01:05:45.000 So now what we're left with are politicians that don't say what they mean and lick their finger and hem and haw and test the political winds, see which way the parade is marching, and then once they ascertain that, they run to the front of the line and act like they've been there all along.

01:05:59.000 That, I'm telling you, is not what our country needs right now.

01:06:03.000 Our country needs somebody that can get into office like your dad and take bold action and like piss off Republicans and Democrats in equal measure on any given day because that's what it's going to require.

01:06:15.000 But the problem is, is that the system protects itself.

01:06:19.000 And as you probably know by now, these entrenched bureaucracies, as government grows, freedom dwindles.

01:06:27.000 And so if you look, a perfect example is the VA.

01:06:29.000 You remember back in 2014 with the VA secret waitlist scandal, you had veterans dying on secret waitlists, and you would ask the VA, hey, are veterans dying on secret waitlists?

01:06:40.000 And they'd tell you, no, everything's fine.

01:06:42.000 Well, come to find out, they were covering it up.

01:06:45.000 The reason is, big bloated bureaucracies protect themselves first, last, and always.

01:06:50.000 They don't really care about transparency.

01:06:52.000 They're not committed to the people. 0.97

01:06:54.000 So as government grows, people's freedom dwindles, and you really need a reform-minded leader, like your dad, that just cuts through the bullshit and says, this has to stop, otherwise we lose our country. 0.67

01:07:05.000 Yeah, well, you know, obviously your election efforts in Pennsylvania are, you know, it's pretty amazing. 0.91

01:07:10.000 You know, you hear a lot about, you know, ballot harvesting.

01:07:13.000 You know, talk about, you know, what that is in Pennsylvania.

01:07:17.000 You know, where are the Democrats on this?

01:07:18.000 You know, it seems like, you know, perhaps they're breaking the law or they're right there on the border of doing so.

01:07:24.000 Are we able to fight that same battle and prevent whatever it is that they're doing and, you know, and or at least match it with our own tactics and what you're doing?

01:07:31.000 Yeah, I mean, well, in Pennsylvania, you can't ballot harvest like you can in California.

01:07:36.000 But what you can do is create essentially a Pennsylvania war room with Excel spreadsheets in all 67 counties in the states with the voter rolls of all traditional Republican voters.

01:07:49.000 And as you get somebody a ballot, And once that person has an application, you follow up.

01:07:55.000 Mail it back in.

01:07:56.000 Once they've mailed it back in, you follow up.

01:07:58.000 Mail your ballot back in.

01:07:59.000 Then you follow up.

01:08:00.000 You know what I mean?

01:08:01.000 And as you do that a thousand, ten thousand times over, your job in getting out the vote becomes a hell of a lot easier because you've got a list of people who've already turned in their ballots, and now you can direct your resources at people who haven't.

01:08:15.000 And that's what the Democrats have done here in Pennsylvania very, very well.

01:08:19.000 They've got a machine A get-out-the-vote machine, a mail-in-ballot machine in Pennsylvania, the likes of which we haven't been able to really contend with until right now.

01:08:27.000 And I'm telling you, Don, it's going to make a difference.

01:08:31.000 It's going to make a difference.

01:08:34.000 If you need an example, look in Virginia where this program was tried.

01:08:39.000 The narrative out of Virginia was that, oh my gosh, look, Republicans lost control of the State House and the State Senate.

01:08:47.000 it wasn't as big of a red wave as we thought. Well, in the three-swing Virginia State House

01:08:52.000 legislative district where this program was implemented, every Republican won.

01:08:59.000 And so what we're doing now is taking a plan that I wrote a couple years ago

01:09:03.000 and tying it in with this program and scaling it up responsibly over 67 counties.

01:09:09.000 And...

01:09:10.000 And I mean, look, the Democrats, the silver lining here is the Democrats have been so efficient in what they were doing over the last couple years that the well for them in Pennsylvania is about dry.

01:09:20.000 Our well is untapped.

01:09:24.000 I'm super optimistic about it.

01:09:27.000 Where can people go to find out more about that though, Sean?

01:09:30.000 So, you know, anyone in Pennsylvania, anyone who has friends in Pennsylvania, anyone who has friends that have friends in Pennsylvania, you know, make sure they see this.

01:09:40.000 SkipTheLimePA.com.

01:09:41.000 SkipTheLimePA.com.

01:09:43.000 Check it out.

01:09:44.000 Like, go there, check it out, learn about what we're doing, you know, and then contact, like, take accountability for 10 people in your life to make sure that they get to the polls.

01:09:53.000 If they can't show up at the polls, make sure they fill out a ballot application. 0.91

01:09:56.000 Go to our website and submit your freaking ballot. 0.98

01:10:00.000 Like, bank your freaking vote, because that's what it's going to take to win. 0.99

01:10:03.000 And frankly, Don, you know, politicians say this every freaking cycle. 0.98

01:10:07.000 This is the most important election of our lifetime. 0.83

01:10:09.000 I've fallen into that trap as well.

01:10:12.000 But I think 2024, it's like, we gotta win.

01:10:16.000 It's a zero-sum game.

01:10:18.000 Because America, as we know it, is fading fast, and the window to save this country is closing fast.

01:10:25.000 So we've gotta win.

01:10:28.000 We've gotta win, and that's all that matters.

01:10:30.000 You know, obviously, listen, you know, the economy matters, inflation matters, so many, you know, watching the wars matter, you know, since this one's obviously going to be personal to you.

01:10:39.000 How much does this sort of the disastrous Afghan withdrawal weigh on the minds of voters?

01:10:46.000 You know, is that something they're thinking of?

01:10:48.000 Because I mean, I look at it, you know, there was one of the Sort of moments where you really, you know, sort of hung your head in shame for America, that it could go that quickly.

01:10:56.000 You watch the Secretary of State, he gets up before Congress, you know, we're shocked and dismayed the Taliban did not install a diverse and more inclusive government. 1.00

01:11:03.000 I'm like, who the fuck is this clown? 1.00

01:11:05.000 Like, are you out of your goddamn mind? 1.00

01:11:06.000 Like, are you insane? 1.00

01:11:08.000 Like, you're shocked. 0.99

01:11:09.000 And if you want to be dismayed, fine.

01:11:11.000 Like, you're shocked the Taliban didn't install a more diverse, like, there's been a little trans coalition in the Taliban government.

01:11:17.000 These are not serious people, but that was, it was so easily preventable, right?

01:11:22.000 You know, when my father showed sort of the satellite image of the Taliban leader's home, you know, when the press was like, you're meeting with him at Camp David, how dare you?

01:11:29.000 He's like, oh, you know, I don't know, like, feels like you got to meet with the enemy to stop things.

01:11:34.000 He shows him a satellite image of his home.

01:11:36.000 The guy did not need to read between the lines on that one.

01:11:38.000 He understood exactly what it meant.

01:11:39.000 And like, Americans stop dying.

01:11:42.000 July takes over, 13 Americans killed, they barely acknowledge him, he's checking his watch as they come back.

01:11:48.000 I guess it was to Dover Air Force Base to receive the bodies.

01:11:53.000 Does that weigh on people still?

01:11:57.000 Do they get it the same way as someone like you would?

01:11:59.000 Or is it just another item in the long litany of things that are a disaster right now and they're just more worried about feeding their families?

01:12:06.000 I think, honestly, Don, I think it's a little of both.

01:12:08.000 I think people are worried about feeding their families, and I think, you know, we feel that pain, too, in Western Pennsylvania.

01:12:15.000 I'm a middle-class guy.

01:12:16.000 Like, every day, every month, you go to the grocery store, and a hundred bucks fills up your cart less. 0.98

01:12:22.000 It sucks. 0.94

01:12:23.000 It's difficult, you know? 0.96

01:12:24.000 So Americans definitely feel that pain, and I think ultimately that's why Joe Biden is I mean, no matter the propaganda pushed by the media or out of the Biden White House, people aren't buying it.

01:12:38.000 But as far as the Afghan surrender, I think so, Don, because really what the Afghan surrender is a microcosm of is just Biden failure.

01:12:50.000 Yeah.

01:12:51.000 America's surrender of a world stage, you know, 200 years of hegemony, the power, like strength, and that would include weakness. 0.59

01:12:59.000 And we look, you look at what happened there.

01:13:02.000 By the way, there's not a day that goes by that I don't think about it, that as a veteran, and that Iraq, Afghan veterans, they're thinking about it.

01:13:10.000 In fact, if you're a veteran of any generation, they're thinking.

01:13:14.000 And then by the time you got, you start family friends of veterans, you're talking 80, 90 million Americans.

01:13:20.000 Those people are thinking about that, Don.

01:13:23.000 And that stuff matters.

01:13:25.000 And It's no surprise that, you know, after the Afghan withdrawal, American weakness displayed on the world stage.

01:13:31.000 Now we got Russian warships off the coast of Miami.

01:13:34.000 We have China saber-rattling over Taiwan.

01:13:37.000 You got this Russia-Ukraine thing that's just going on forever.

01:13:41.000 I mean, it's just with no end in sight.

01:13:43.000 And you talk about your father meeting with Taliban leaders. 0.90

01:13:45.000 Like, that's the most asinine thing in the world to attack your father over, because It's like I met with, on the battlefield, conducted diplomacy on behalf of America for 16 months. 0.78

01:13:56.000 Sometimes when you do that on the battlefield, you're meeting with people who aren't so nice, you know? 0.95

01:14:01.000 You have to have the dialogue, because when it goes bad, you gotta be able to pick up the phone. 0.96

01:14:05.000 I guess it was Helsinki, whatever, they're like, Trump didn't, like, he was asked a question by some reporter, he didn't shit all over Putin unnecessarily. 0.99

01:14:15.000 Cause he's not a moron. 0.98

01:14:15.000 Like, you know, pleasing the press and being able to maintain a lifeline with the world's largest nuclear superpower by volume of intercontinental ballistic missiles seems like a big deal. 0.98

01:14:26.000 And so had he taken, you know, and just done that, then they would have said, I can't believe they shot all over a world leader on a world stage.

01:14:33.000 How embarrassing.

01:14:34.000 Like there was no win.

01:14:34.000 You know what I mean?

01:14:35.000 And now you've got what he did, which was.

01:14:37.000 The 100% right move because that's called, like, strategy.

01:14:40.000 That's called negotiation.

01:14:41.000 That doesn't mean you're absolving Putin of anything.

01:14:44.000 It doesn't mean you don't think he's a strongman or a dictator or whatever you want to call him.

01:14:47.000 Like, it's just the reality of the world. 1.00

01:14:49.000 And these morons in the media, they couldn't even fathom these concepts. 1.00

01:14:54.000 And now the world is on fire. 1.00

01:14:57.000 You have Putin meeting with Xi.

01:14:59.000 Putin met with Kim Jong-un the other day, and the first time I think a Russian leader was in North Korea since the year 2000.

01:15:06.000 All of this is happening.

01:15:09.000 The reason why all of this is happening is because of that animated corpse in the White House that doesn't know whether he's coming or going.

01:15:15.000 Our enemies are on the move right now because we have an American president that's completely M.I.A.

01:15:22.000 Whoever's pulling his strings behind the curtain, and I think I have a pretty good idea of who it is, Obama and company, but This country, I'm telling you, Don, we have not lived at a more precarious time in America than we do right now.

01:15:40.000 Because we've got a leader in the White House that is MIA, we have people who are unaccountable that are calling the shots, and we have a media that is Just unbelievable propaganda, and you know, when your father says, enemy of the people, that's honestly an understatement.

01:15:58.000 Because what the media does today, they don't just lie, right?

01:16:04.000 You know, because before I ran, I'm like, oh yeah, it's the media, they lean left.

01:16:08.000 No.

01:16:09.000 They don't just lie.

01:16:11.000 They tell the opposite of the truth.

01:16:14.000 Which is basically what every third-rate dictator has done in every country going back a thousand years.

01:16:22.000 Our media is no different than any of them.

01:16:25.000 And it's just, it's sickening.

01:16:27.000 And at best, they omit all the important details so that you can get yourself to a narrative.

01:16:31.000 It's like, you know, the stuff that's really important that would be like, oh, that's the Charlottesville hoax.

01:16:36.000 It's like, play the rest of the sentence.

01:16:38.000 It's like, oh, it's exactly the opposite of everything we've been reading about for months.

01:16:42.000 I mean, I mean, it's interesting watching now.

01:16:44.000 I mean, there's guys like big tech, former big liberals, you know, Democrat 2020 donors and stuff like that that are like, Holy crap, I just saw the rest of the video.

01:16:53.000 How is it that I believe this thing?

01:16:54.000 And it's because, you know, the media today is, they're regime propagandists.

01:16:59.000 And, you know, but again, there's nothing the Democrats won't do.

01:17:01.000 I mean, this is obviously local to Pennsylvania, that the Biden administration is suing sheets.

01:17:06.000 That's a, you know, gas station chain, like, you know, food, sort of like a Wawa, more Western, I guess, you know, in Pennsylvania, because they want to do criminal background checks.

01:17:17.000 I mean, surely, They should be able to do that.

01:17:21.000 Surely that's something that should annoy Pennsylvania voters, wouldn't it?

01:17:24.000 I mean, like, I don't know.

01:17:26.000 My young kid going to fill up her car because she's, you know, and you have random criminals there. 0.99

01:17:31.000 No one's allowed to do these things.

01:17:33.000 At the core of Biden's lawsuit here in Pennsylvania, the Department of Justice against Sheets, is that criminal background checks disproportionately affect minorities.

01:17:42.000 In the actual DOJ's lawsuit itself, it says black candidates fail the background check At 14 percent, while white candidates are 8 percent. 0.95

01:17:49.000 So really, this is Democrats going back to what they have done so well for so long, and that is being disgusting racists. 0.97

01:17:57.000 After all, they're the party of the KKK. 0.96

01:18:00.000 Biden himself eulogized, what, Robert Byrd, right?

01:18:04.000 Don't call him a grand wizard of the KKK.

01:18:06.000 He was just an exalted cyclops.

01:18:10.000 I mean, there's a zillion fact checks about that.

01:18:13.000 But like, If you are Sheetz, right? 0.69

01:18:17.000 Oh God, here's the best part about it.

01:18:19.000 This lawsuit comes out, as absurd as it is, the day after Biden visits a Sheetz in Western Pennsylvania, right there in my backyard, he like walks into this Sheetz, where gas is like Intergalactic level expensive because of his policies.

01:18:35.000 He walks in, people completely ignore the guy.

01:18:39.000 He's like shuffling around, people are sitting at their tables, eating their MTOs, not really wanting to talk to him.

01:18:44.000 He walks up to a pillar, tries to shake the pillar's hand, like completely lackluster reception at the Sheetz.

01:18:51.000 The day later, like the very next day, he's suing Sheetz.

01:18:55.000 And so if you're Sheetz, if you've got a business, And you're hiring people.

01:19:00.000 Ultimately, this is about protecting the consumer, right, Don?

01:19:03.000 Of course.

01:19:04.000 Well, eventually, you're not going to be able to screen for pedophiles in kindergartens.

01:19:11.000 How dare you?

01:19:13.000 Don't you want to know?

01:19:13.000 You don't understand their priorities.

01:19:15.000 It's lunacy. 0.97

01:19:15.000 Don, maybe we This is just a fallback plan for Hunter so that when Joe Biden loses in November and he can't launder money through Ukraine anymore, Hunter Biden, you know, crap, you know, whoremongering, crack use, it won't prevent him from running a register at sheets. 0.97

01:19:36.000 So maybe this is just all Biden trying to protect Hunter.

01:19:40.000 You know?

01:19:40.000 Hey, listen, you know, Sean, I, you know, we got to be very careful.

01:19:43.000 I understand that I am not the upstanding citizen that Hunter Biden is.

01:19:47.000 I, you know, I am not, based on the way that, you know, they wanted to try me for the death penalty, as you know, for treason, a crime punishable by death.

01:19:54.000 And I was like, that's interesting.

01:19:55.000 I mean, you know, seems like if it was my laptop, it'd be a problem.

01:19:58.000 Seems like if it was my crank, I wouldn't be the victim. 0.99

01:20:01.000 I'd be, you know, the scumbag that Hunter is. 0.99

01:20:03.000 It's, you know, it's, it's fine. 0.99

01:20:05.000 It's fine.

01:20:06.000 If I wasn't paying my child support, it'd be a problem.

01:20:08.000 Instead, you know, There's always an excuse.

01:20:12.000 Don, you have now, right, this story coming out the other day from Just the News, John Solomon over there, saying that basically Hunter Biden scored a $120 million deal through Burisma while Joe Biden was vice president under Barack Obama in charge of U.S.-Ukraine policy.

01:20:30.000 While he was vice president.

01:20:32.000 Yet Hunter Biden, first of all, where the hell did all that money go, right?

01:20:37.000 You've got lawyers paying Hunter Biden's legal fees.

01:20:40.000 Like, the guy can't even pay his own child support.

01:20:44.000 Like, what the hell is going on? 0.96

01:20:46.000 And it's like, what's amazing to me is how, I'm sorry, just trashy the Biden family is, yet they get a complete and total pass from the media.

01:20:54.000 And then on the other hand, you have your family from your father, you, Eric, Ivanka, like Barron, All class action across the board, and yet you all are treated so horrifically.

01:21:08.000 It's like we live in a time where everything, Don, is upside down, and that's part of the reason why I say we live in a very precarious and dangerous time in America, because... Oh, 100%.

01:21:20.000 I say that I feel like there's days like I've got to be the star of the Truman Show, and I just like, like, hey, Sean, just blink three times if I'm just on TV right now.

01:21:30.000 Am I the only guy not in on the joke?

01:21:32.000 It almost feels like there's no other explanation at times.

01:21:38.000 You don't need to be an Einstein-level genius to see, just look back at history and how all of these celebrities who now don't like your dad felt about your dad before he ran for president.

01:21:53.000 All of these guys and gals were waiting around the line to get into parties held by your dad.

01:21:59.000 They all wanted to be around.

01:22:00.000 Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton, they all loved your dad before he ran for president.

01:22:04.000 But he puts an R after his name and all of those people come out. 0.99

01:22:07.000 They're all phony life losers. 1.00

01:22:11.000 Every single one of them. 0.99

01:22:12.000 Their views diametrically opposed to that of actual ordinary Americans.

01:22:18.000 And you know what, Don?

01:22:19.000 I wouldn't have it any other way.

01:22:20.000 Because One of the best things about running a campaign, and I know your father knows this, and I know that you know it as well, is the people that you meet along the way.

01:22:29.000 Like, average, ordinary Americans, Democrat, Republicans that work their ass off every day in this country, they're the ones that make America tick. 0.96

01:22:36.000 Why America is going off the rails today is because we have an unaccountable elite who, by the way, aren't even trying to hide their damn corruption anymore from the American people.

01:22:46.000 An unaccountable elite basically using America I mean, just in ways that the founders never intended. 0.94

01:22:54.000 I'll just say that.

01:22:55.000 Yeah, no, I see, you know, grown men, grown women, they come up to us, honestly, some of them in tears, like, thank you for what you guys are doing.

01:23:01.000 I mean, I saw, I went to one of the Stanley Cup finals, you know, games down in Florida the other day

01:23:07.000 and I just took my kids and I was just, you know, by myself, no D, I mean, it literally was like a love fest,

01:23:13.000 like I've never seen before.

01:23:14.000 Like, it like, we literally couldn't move, you know, there were some pretty famous people around us as well.

01:23:19.000 And it was like, they were like, hey, thanks for running cover for us.

01:23:21.000 We didn't have to take a single selfie because they were just, and like, you know,

01:23:25.000 grown people in tears, like, thank you for doing this.

01:23:28.000 Cause they understand what's at stake. 0.98

01:23:29.000 So, I mean, you see that and you know, honestly all of the rest of the bullshit you deal with, 0.98

01:23:34.000 it's like, okay, like it's worth it because at least they get it. 0.97

01:23:37.000 You know what I mean?

01:23:38.000 They get it.

01:23:39.000 So it's, that makes it all worthwhile.

01:23:42.000 I mean, at some point in time in your life, And I tell this to my kids, too.

01:23:47.000 Like, just take a freaking stand for what you believe in.

01:23:50.000 Like, don't listen to what other people say. 0.94

01:23:53.000 Don't go along to get along.

01:23:55.000 You take a stand, guess what?

01:23:56.000 You're going to make enemies.

01:23:58.000 People aren't going to like you.

01:23:59.000 You're also going to learn a lot about yourself and, like, how to function in the real world.

01:24:02.000 Like, just following the, you know, the Borg, like a sheep, you're going to learn nothing.

01:24:07.000 And eventually you're going to run into adversity. 0.99

01:24:08.000 And if you're not accustomed to it, it's going to kick your ass because life is rough, no matter what. 0.99

01:24:13.000 Absolutely. 1.00

01:24:14.000 Absolutely.

01:24:15.000 And so, like, that's why, that's why this country, Don, is rallying around your family, even as the deep state tries to, deep state Democrats, again, like, whatever you want to call them, call them whatever you want.

01:24:27.000 I didn't elect these, these bureaucrats. 0.92

01:24:29.000 They're the ones that are working overtime to try to salvage.

01:24:32.000 If you don't believe me, just listen to what the senior Democrat in Congress, Chuck Schumer, said about your dad.

01:24:37.000 Hey, if you go after the intelligence community, they got six ways a Sunday of getting back at you.

01:24:42.000 So I take him at his word, right?

01:24:44.000 If someone tells you who they are, believe them.

01:24:46.000 Absolutely right.

01:24:47.000 But the American people are rallying around you.

01:24:50.000 And by the way, I'll also say this, The Trump campaign, they're running a hell of a campaign.

01:24:58.000 They are running a disciplined operation and, man, that's a great thing because this is a real damn important election cycle.

01:25:07.000 So kudos to all those people on your dad's campaign, by the way, who are working their asses off behind the scenes because That stuff, as you know, again, that stuff ain't easy.

01:25:17.000 And your father's got a great team of people around him.

01:25:19.000 By the way, some of these people are kids running around in your father's campaign.

01:25:25.000 Not a single campaign staffer has ever had to deal with what they're dealing with right now.

01:25:30.000 So kudos to all them behind the scenes.

01:25:32.000 For making the magic happen on your dad's campaign because he's running a great operation over there.

01:25:37.000 Well, thanks, Sean.

01:25:38.000 You know, I guess as a final, tell us a little bit about your rumble show and also where everyone can go to learn about all your other projects, especially the voting stuff in Pennsylvania, because like, you know, it's great to watch.

01:25:48.000 You know, there was, you know, perhaps some faltering at the RNC.

01:25:52.000 I think we got that under control now, but it took a little longer than it should have perhaps.

01:25:55.000 And, you know, we're there now, but it's great to watch guys like you Step up and fill in those voids.

01:26:00.000 You know, we spoke with Charlie Kirk.

01:26:02.000 You know, he's doing that in other states.

01:26:03.000 You know, people are stepping up where they have a platform, where they have a base.

01:26:08.000 They're taking matters into their own hands.

01:26:09.000 They're taking it out of the bureaucrats, some of whom, you know, they may be, you know, supposedly home team, but they're not going to fight like it because, you know, they have no incentive to do so.

01:26:16.000 They don't really care.

01:26:18.000 You know, tell us about all those things so people can follow you.

01:26:20.000 Check it out because, you know, guys, truly, you know, Sean is one of the real warriors out there.

01:26:45.000 It streams live from 5 to 6, Monday through Friday.

01:26:48.000 It's grown so much and it's a blessing because I think people just want no bullshit assessment.

01:26:55.000 People just want the truth.

01:26:56.000 And ultimately, the mission of the show is to save this country and advocate for the policies and America First principles that we believe in.
