Triggered - Donald Trump Jr - The Parallel Economy: Public Sq CEO Michael Seifert on Why Woke Goes Broke | TRIGGERED Ep. 19

00:00:00.000 Well, guys, welcome to another episode of Triggered.

00:00:04.000 This one's gonna be an interesting one.

00:00:05.000 It's a little different.

00:00:06.000 We're not really political in this case, although it is in the sense that you guys always ask, hey, you know, Don, what is it that we can do?

00:00:14.000 What is it that we can do?

00:00:15.000 How do we fight back against what sometimes, honestly, guys, feels like sort of insurmountable odds, right?

00:00:22.000 The deck is just stacked against us.

00:00:24.000 And by the way, it is.

00:00:26.000 Okay, don't kid yourself.

00:00:27.000 You gotta, I always say it, right?

00:00:28.000 The trillion-dollar mainstream media complex, a trillion-dollar big tech enterprise, multiple trillion, uh, you know, socially and exactly even, maybe we got truth to balance it out a little bit, but, uh, candidly, I think Twitter 2.0, actually for me,

00:00:43.000 Maybe worse than 1.0.

00:00:44.000 It's like they took over, things started getting a little better, and then the inmates retook the asylum.

00:00:49.000 But, again, who knows?

00:00:51.000 Maybe it'll change.

00:00:52.000 But, you know, I know I saw a good spike in engagement, and now I'm back down to, like, before pre-takeover level.

00:01:00.000 So we'll see.

00:01:01.000 But you have those things that we're working against.

00:01:04.000 Big, woke corporate pushing, you know, the BLM nonsense, donating billions and billions and billions and billions of dollars

00:01:13.000 Not that could be used to promote shareholder value in these big companies or anything like that, but used to push a sham, right?

00:01:23.000 We all know that now.

00:01:23.000 BLM was a scam.

00:01:24.000 We've seen that.

00:01:26.000 To the tune of billions of dollars, the founders all living in homes in Bel Air.

00:01:30.000 What actually was accomplished?

00:01:32.000 Probably not a lot.

00:01:33.000 I know a lot of cities got burned down, but none of the money went to go build them back.

00:01:37.000 But when you ask what we can do, we have to push back, right?

00:01:40.000 We got to support the paid-to-read economy.

00:01:42.000 I mean, I've talked about it with the sponsors of this show, because again, if you have the guts to sort of sponsor a show like this, 0.94

00:01:50.000 That takes some balls. 1.00

00:01:53.000 I get that. 0.97

00:01:53.000 You could be canceled. 0.97

00:01:54.000 You're on an FBI watch list if you're sponsoring this show.

00:01:58.000 So I'll thank them later on, and we'll talk about that later on.

00:02:01.000 But when you ask what we can do, it's support people

00:02:06.000 And

00:02:29.000 a a list of all the conservative companies in your area or when you may be traveling and it's growing and growing daily so if you're a conservative business go to public sq uh go sign up uh if you're looking to figure out where you want to support you can go to coffee shop a or b see which one of them's on public square

00:02:49.000 You know, put their kids through hockey practice.

00:02:51.000 We've seen the insanity of the world in the last few weeks, especially.

00:02:56.000 It looks like we're on like a looming bank crisis. 0.97

00:02:58.000 A couple of major, major banks went under because, you know, woke ESG bullshit and all that nonsense was driving the banking system. 0.96

00:03:08.000 I don't know why. 0.95

00:03:10.000 I can't tell you why, but it is.

00:03:13.000 And it's really, really affecting the way these places perform. 1.00

00:03:17.000 But you see the inflation due to stupid policies like from the Democrat Party. 0.99

00:03:21.000 They're worried about woke nonsense while China and Russia are forming alliances abroad. 1.00

00:03:26.000 What could possibly go wrong?

00:03:28.000 So Michael Seifert founded Public Square to put together and aggregate all of the companies.

00:03:34.000 They sign up.

00:03:35.000 They share your values.

00:03:36.000 They're checking that box.

00:03:38.000 So when we want to fight back, the key is not giving your money to woke corporate, you know, Starbucks or, you know, one of my sponsors on this show, you know, Patriot Mobile.

00:03:48.000 You know, you're going to have a cell phone without question.

00:03:51.000 So if you have a mobile plan, have a mobile plan where the company

00:03:56.000 Whose Planet is actually gives back to the things that you believe in.

00:04:00.000 You can go check out, you know, go to patriotmobile.com slash Don Jr.

00:04:04.000 for free activation.

00:04:05.000 Like those, they're one of our sponsors, but they do that.

00:04:07.000 They give back to causes.

00:04:08.000 But Michael Seifert founded a company that put all of those things together.

00:04:12.000 So when you're at home, you can find that company that shares your values.

00:04:15.000 When you're traveling, you're going somewhere, you're on a vacation, you're away for work, go do that.

00:04:20.000 When I was in D.C.

00:04:21.000 for CPAC, we actually filmed the interview at CPAC because we're all over the place.

00:04:26.000 When we were there, I was like, hey, Michael, what's the best restaurant nearby that's on Public Square?

00:04:29.000 He goes, here.

00:04:30.000 We went there.

00:04:31.000 We called last minute, got a reservation for 20.

00:04:33.000 It was incredible.

00:04:35.000 We were there with Matt Gates and Carrie Lake, Nigel Farage, like a serious crew in D.C.

00:04:41.000 of conservatives.

00:04:42.000 And they were there.

00:04:43.000 Oh, it's awesome that you guys are here.

00:04:45.000 We welcome you.

00:04:46.000 I mean, think about the difference.

00:04:48.000 Or you could go to a place where they're going to phone in the fake protesters.

00:04:51.000 They're going to come in, you know, try to egg you on the way out.

00:04:55.000 That's the battle we're actually in right now.

00:04:57.000 So I think you'll find this conversation interesting about someone who, like, well, they always said, well, if you don't like it, you don't like the policies that, you know, X, Y, Z social, go build your own.

00:05:06.000 Well, then when you do, they don't really mean that, right?

00:05:09.000 They'll put up every wall and you can't, you know, Amazon won't host you on their servers.

00:05:13.000 And, you know, so it's not real, but that's fine.

00:05:16.000 We got to play that game.

00:05:17.000 It's sort of like,

00:05:19.000 Voting right now, right?

00:05:20.000 Sure, I'd love same-day paper ballots with an ID, but the other side has taken total control.

00:05:27.000 They weaponized COVID to do that.

00:05:28.000 And while I want those things, it's not realistic until you're actually in a position of power to put those things in place.

00:05:36.000 So we have to do that.

00:05:38.000 We have to actually be out there doing that.

00:05:40.000 The way to do that is support those companies.

00:05:42.000 So go to Public Square.

00:05:44.000 PublicSQ.com.

00:05:46.000 Check them out.

00:05:47.000 Sign up if you're a small business so other like-minded patriots can find you.

00:05:52.000 But also, if you're just a consumer, go support those businesses because those are the people that are like you.

00:05:57.000 And honestly, if you've been watching for the last few years and you don't think that we're in a war for the soul of our country, a war for our identity, you haven't been watching the policies that WOKE will push, even knowing 0.59

00:06:12.000 That half the country doesn't agree with it. 0.99

00:06:13.000 They don't give a shit, okay? 1.00

00:06:15.000 They'll jam this crap down your throat. 1.00

00:06:17.000 And we have to push back. 1.00

00:06:19.000 That's the way to do it.

00:06:20.000 So go check out Public Square, but watch the interview with Michael, a guy that, again, built his own from San Diego, California.

00:06:26.000 Got sick of walking around and having a mask mandate at a place where just clearly indoctrinated sociopath communists.

00:06:33.000 And so he found

00:06:35.000 The businesses in his local area that weren't that way.

00:06:37.000 And then started branching out and finding them all over the country and grew a great company.

00:06:41.000 They're going to be going public.

00:06:45.000 So they're, you know, literally in that process.

00:06:47.000 And we'll talk about that interview, but it's really important.

00:06:49.000 So just in case you didn't think that we're in a war for identity, to be clear, ESPN this week, on like Sunday, celebrated Women's History Month by promoting a special

00:07:05.000 About transgender swimmer Leah Thomas, a biological male, folks, who destroyed actual women in sports. 1.00

00:07:15.000 You saw the stuff about Riley Gaines.

00:07:17.000 I'm going to have her on the show here, too.

00:07:18.000 I met her, actually, at CPAC, and she was great.

00:07:20.000 She was one of these swimmers that got beat that would have been a national champion.

00:07:25.000 Because a biological male that had the extra muscular strength, that had the extra cardio capacity, that had the extra bone density, that had like a foot in height on them, you know, won and is lauded as a hero.

00:07:38.000 And on Women's History Month, ESPN!

00:07:41.000 Like, I don't know why, but ESPN is more woke and more political than, like, CNN!

00:07:47.000 And that's hard to believe, folks. 1.00

00:07:49.000 I don't even know what the hell is going on because I don't think their fan base wants it, but they are nuts. 0.99

00:07:55.000 Check out this clip. 0.95

00:07:57.000 See for yourself what ESPN is pushing on Women's History Month. 0.91

00:08:05.000 In 2022, swimmer Leah Thomas became the first transgender athlete to win an NCAA Division I championship by winning the 500 freestyle.

00:08:14.000 The Texas native competed for three seasons on the men's twin team at the University of Pennsylvania.

00:08:20.000 She began her transition after her sophomore season and after a gap year due to the pandemic that forced the Ivy League to cancel all sports.

00:08:29.000 Thomas made her debut as a member of the women's team in December 2021.

00:08:34.000 Being trans is not a choice.

00:08:37.000 I didn't have any other choice because not transitioning was not leading me anywhere.

00:08:44.000 She competed amidst criticism from the swimming community, competitors, and teammates.

00:08:49.000 She said she hopes her persistence serves a larger purpose.

00:08:52.000 People will say, oh she just transitioned so she would have an advantage so she could win. 1.00

00:08:59.000 I transitioned to be happy.

00:09:03.000 How can a woman work at ESPN after that? 1.00

00:09:06.000 The network seems to be just openly making fun of the notion.

00:09:11.000 Are men now better at being women than even women? 0.98

00:09:15.000 Is that what they're trying to tell me? 0.99

00:09:18.000 The way I read it is that seems to be the case, because it's freaking insane.

00:09:24.000 Of all the women in sports, all the people, the Riley Gaineses of the world, all the incredible runners and swimmers and basketball players, whoever it may be, Leah Thomas gets a special.

00:09:36.000 I mean, I feel like, I think, 0.99

00:09:42.000 Fuck, man, like, are we in, like, a simulation? 1.00

00:09:46.000 Am I like Jim Carrey in, like, the Truman Show? 1.00

00:09:49.000 Like, are you guys all, like, are there, like, 75 cameras around here, like, watching every aspect of my life and you guys are just screwing with me at this point?

00:09:57.000 Because it feels like that must be the case, okay? 0.99

00:10:02.000 If ESPN, okay, for all their woke bullshit, they can't find a woman to celebrate for 0.99

00:10:08.000 Women's History Month? 0.99

00:10:29.000 Well, everyone, and it's one of those, even when I post on Twitter, most people are like, yeah, you know, I kind of hate Don Jr., but he's right about this.

00:10:36.000 Oh, I can't believe I'm agreeing with Don Jr.

00:10:37.000 on something.

00:10:38.000 I hate that, but it's so obvious.

00:10:40.000 Isn't that what's going on right now? 0.93

00:10:43.000 So, woke ESPN, and again, I said they seem to be trying to give CNN a run for their money in terms of the woke bullshit, but just in case, I'll leave it to you guys to decide who's worse, but from CNN also this weekend, folks, 0.98

00:11:01.000 If you're white and you've posted a gif or a meme of a black person to express a strong emotion, you may be guilty of wearing digital blackface. 0.97

00:11:15.000 You heard me right, folks. 0.93

00:11:16.000 Wait for it.

00:11:17.000 Wait for it.

00:11:18.000 Digital blackface. 0.93

00:11:20.000 Now we have digital blackface. 1.00

00:11:22.000 Are you insane? 1.00

00:11:25.000 What the hell are we talking about? 1.00

00:11:26.000 Is there anything that they can't, like, so if I post, like, the Michael Jackson meme where he's eating popcorn because I'm, like, waiting for some idiot to do something on it, like, I'm committing a hate crime of digital blackface. 1.00

00:11:40.000 These people are insane! 1.00

00:11:41.000 When does it end? 0.99

00:11:42.000 Again, like, how are we not in a simulation right now?

00:11:46.000 How can this be real?

00:11:48.000 And again, you know, you see the videos.

00:11:50.000 I saw the videos this weekend.

00:11:51.000 They're talking about, well, you know, there was a fight.

00:11:53.000 Someone sucker punched a woman. 0.96

00:11:54.000 One's black, one's white. 0.99

00:11:55.000 Of course, it went one way.

00:11:56.000 And if it didn't go the other way, it would be rioting and you'd hear about it and this. 0.98

00:12:01.000 But when the white girl gets sucker punched, it's like, oh, it's just basketball player gets sucker punched. 1.00

00:12:06.000 If the white person was doing the soccer punching, it'd be a national story, we'd be talking about racism, we'd have to have, you know, vigils. 0.98

00:12:15.000 It's gone nuts, guys. 1.00

00:12:17.000 I mean, can we just agree, like, hey, good people are good people, bad people are bad people, like, pieces of shit are pieces of shit, and like, great people, like, why can't we judge people based on their character? 1.00

00:12:26.000 Why can't, like, we allow women to excel in sports? 1.00

00:12:30.000 Why does someone have to commandeer it?

00:12:32.000 If you want to go be trans, go be trans. 1.00

00:12:33.000 Don't do it to the three-year-olds, okay?

00:12:34.000 Draw the line.

00:12:35.000 You know, let them decide.

00:12:36.000 And by the way, if you push the three-year-old into it, and then when they become an adult, they're not happy with it, since the recidivism rate is in, like, the 90s?

00:12:43.000 Like, let them sue the doctors.

00:12:46.000 Let them sue their parents. 1.00

00:12:47.000 Let them sue the teachers and the other people that push this bullshit. 1.00

00:12:50.000 But now we have... 1.00

00:12:53.000 Digital blackface. 0.93

00:12:54.000 Guys, there's going to be a point where we're not going to be able to function.

00:12:57.000 You're not going to be able to have a conversation.

00:12:59.000 You're not going to be able to talk.

00:13:00.000 You're not going to be able to do anything because someone will have a problem with it.

00:13:04.000 You will be committing some sort of form of genocide or whatever because words have no meaning.

00:13:11.000 So that was the insanity.

00:13:15.000 But it wasn't all bad.

00:13:17.000 It wasn't all bad.

00:13:18.000 Trump held

00:13:20.000 A rally in Waco, Texas, and it was lit.

00:13:24.000 I was actually going back and forth with Uncle Ted Nugent, just texting back and forth.

00:13:29.000 He was like, dude, that was awesome.

00:13:30.000 It was incredible, the energy.

00:13:32.000 And I really hope so, because I hope people are seeing exactly what's going on.

00:13:35.000 I think I see, you know, they're probably starting to see the establishment attempted takeover of MAGA, of populism.

00:13:43.000 You know, we've seen plenty of that.

00:13:46.000 But this rally was epic.

00:13:48.000 They even did a flyover in Trump Force One to the soundtrack of Top Gun.

00:13:55.000 They were playing Danger Zone as Trump flew overhead in the 757.

00:13:58.000 It's pretty awesome.

00:14:01.000 Check that out here.

00:14:02.000 And then I'll also play you a couple of the top clips from that one because it's absolutely epic.

00:14:07.000 Put your hands together and let's make some noise for our favorite president, Donald J. Trump! 0.97

00:14:46.000 In 2016, I declared I am your voice, and now I say to you again tonight, I am your warrior.

00:14:54.000 I am your justice.

00:15:00.000 And I took a lot of heat for this one, but I only mean it in the proper way for those who have been wronged and betrayed, of which there are many people out there that have been wronged and betrayed.

00:15:12.000 I am your retribution.

00:15:13.000 We will take care of that.

00:15:16.000 We will take care of it.

00:15:36.000 We will hold a competition to build new Freedom Cities throughout our country, giving countless Americans a new shot at home ownership and a real shot at the American Dream.

00:15:47.000 We will build new monuments to our great American heroes.

00:15:50.000 We won't tear them down, we'll build them up.

00:15:54.000 Clean out homeless camps from our inner cities, get rid of ugly buildings that are hurting those cities and other places, and return to the magnificent classical style of Western civilization.

00:16:08.000 We will support baby bonuses, so many people like that, for the new baby boom that will be coming. 0.98

00:16:15.000 We need babies. 0.99

00:16:17.000 All of this is within our reach as long as we have the courage to stick together, stand firm against all attacks, and see this mission through to ultimate victory.

00:16:33.000 Only Donald Trump could have rescued us from Hillary Clinton!

00:16:39.000 Without Trump doing three rallies in the final week in the 2018 election in Florida, my governor today would probably be Andrew Gillum.

00:16:51.000 How weird is that?

00:16:54.000 And without Trump dragging Ted Cruz across the finish line, your senator would probably be Beto Beto.

00:17:06.000 So Ron DeSantis, Ted Cruz, patriots of the MAGA movement, delivered for you in your time of need.

00:17:14.000 Today, Ron DeSantis and Ted Cruz should endorse Donald Trump for president and stand with us as we were so proud to stand with them.

00:17:29.000 Okay, so that was great.

00:17:31.000 The energy, the enthusiasm, we need that.

00:17:34.000 People are finally getting it.

00:17:36.000 I think people have seen just how far the insanity of the left will go.

00:17:41.000 The lies that they're telling you, they're just making stuff up out of thin air.

00:17:46.000 And in case you weren't sure if that was real or not, Joe Biden this weekend was blasted for claiming that the GOP wants to slash border funding.

00:17:59.000 It has to be a joke at this point.

00:18:03.000 It has to be a parody.

00:18:05.000 Like, how is this possible?

00:18:07.000 He previously said there are more important things going on than the border crisis.

00:18:11.000 But now he's saying, no, no, no, guys.

00:18:14.000 We haven't just abandoned Trump's wall.

00:18:16.000 We haven't had our border czar Kamala Harris do nothing. 1.00

00:18:20.000 We haven't sat by while the Border Patrol chief tells Secretary Mayorkas of Homeland Security that, like, hey, we've got no control here.

00:18:28.000 It's the GOP that wants to slash border funding, not the actions of the Democrats that we've seen for two years that has led to unprecedented levels of people crossing the border illegally, unprecedented apprehensions, and therefore probably also unprecedented numbers of people escaping through. 1.00

00:18:47.000 I mean, is he an idiot? 1.00

00:18:51.000 Like, can he say this with a straight face? 1.00

00:18:53.000 I mean, can even our biased and incredibly partisan, radical, communist, leftist media, can they run with this and, like, not pretend it's a parody?

00:19:06.000 Like, can someone really say that?

00:19:08.000 Okay, Joe Biden said that, and there's no irony to the fact that the policies of his administration, and frankly, all Democrats,

00:19:16.000 are like literally exactly the opposite of that, right?

00:19:19.000 The GOP wants to build a wall.

00:19:21.000 They've wanted to shut down the drug trafficking crisis.

00:19:24.000 They've wanted to shut down the human trafficking crisis.

00:19:26.000 They want to shut down the sex trafficking crisis. 0.98

00:19:28.000 To me, the Democrats indifference on the border for the last two plus years has shown that they're almost in favor of those things at this point, because you almost have to be to be so freaking ignorant about the issue. 0.96

00:19:43.000 Like, you can't pretend that it's not happening. 0.90

00:19:46.000 You can't see the deaths from fentanyl all over the country and pretend that it's not happening.

00:19:54.000 And Joe Biden can, with a straight face, get up there and say,

00:19:59.000 The GOP wants to slash it.

00:20:00.000 We really want to do something about it. 0.98

00:20:02.000 It's like opposite day in Joe Biden's demented, moronic, I-don't-know-where-I-am-today world, that they can put this on a teleprompter for him and not even have an appreciation of the irony or the insanity. 0.98

00:20:16.000 Because I don't believe that Joe Biden even knows what the hell he's doing. 0.98

00:20:18.000 He's like Ron Burgundy, right? 1.00

00:20:20.000 You put it on the teleprompter, that moron, he will read it, okay? 1.00

00:20:24.000 F you, San Diego. 1.00

00:20:26.000 He doesn't know what the hell's going on, right?

00:20:29.000 But he can say that the GOP wants the flash border.

00:20:33.000 It's like a number one priority for the Republicans.

00:20:36.000 Like, literally, they would build that wall, they would complete it.

00:20:39.000 Remember, we have 130 billion

00:20:42.000 $10 for Ukraine, but we didn't have like three to finish the wall that was starting.

00:20:45.000 We're spending money storing the remaining parts of the wall that they don't want to put up because Joe Biden shut it down.

00:20:52.000 What the hell are they talking about?

00:20:54.000 You can't take these people seriously anymore. 0.99

00:20:57.000 They are lying to you.

00:20:58.000 So that's why it was so awesome to see that enthusiasm in Waco, because hopefully people are finally waking up to the lies.

00:21:06.000 And the lies are across the board.

00:21:08.000 OK, don't get me wrong.

00:21:09.000 But that's why Trump's so important for 2024, folks. 0.99

00:21:11.000 Trump is so important for 2024 because he's the one guy that doesn't give a shit. 0.98

00:21:16.000 He's not there to be part of the swamp later. 0.99

00:21:18.000 He doesn't have friends there to please anymore.

00:21:20.000 Honestly, there may be an advantage to sort of being the lame duck for a moment, number one, right?

00:21:24.000 You got four years to fix it, and there is no running again.

00:21:27.000 You don't have to please people.

00:21:28.000 You don't have to do some of the things that people feel like they have to do in D.C., like so many of the

00:21:34.000 The ones we thought were really MAGA seem to be doing over the last couple of weeks.

00:21:37.000 Oh, I'm sorry, Mr. Donor, I'm going to change the policy I just said on TV seven minutes ago because you got a big check for me and, you know.

00:21:46.000 Won't have that with Trump.

00:21:48.000 So that was awesome to see.

00:21:50.000 But Joe Biden should be called out.

00:21:52.000 The fact that no one in the media is even saying anything about the border crisis, and that he can just throw it back at the GOP, they're like, oh yeah, it's the Republicans!

00:21:59.000 It's like my four-year-old.

00:22:01.000 You know, when she was four, she'd do something to her older brothers and be like, it was them.

00:22:05.000 I was like, but I saw it.

00:22:06.000 I literally saw you do it.

00:22:08.000 Doesn't matter.

00:22:09.000 That's what Joe Biden is. 0.83

00:22:10.000 He's like a toddler.

00:22:13.000 Who does something bad, gets caught, and like pretends he didn't do it, even though everyone literally saw him do it.

00:22:18.000 It's that insane at this point. 0.99

00:22:21.000 So, speaking of insane, over the weekend, a trans woman was left sobbing at JFK Airport after a TSA agent reportedly hit her in... wait for it... her testicles. 1.00

00:22:39.000 Yes. 0.99

00:22:41.000 Yes, folks.

00:22:46.000 Whatever, man.

00:22:47.000 Whatever makes you happy.

00:22:48.000 Honestly, if you're a grown-ass woman, man, whatever it is, and you want to switch over, that's fine. 0.99

00:22:54.000 I don't give a shit. 0.99

00:22:55.000 Like, if you regret it later, that's on you. 0.99

00:22:57.000 It's when you're pushing it on the kids, that's where I have a serious problem.

00:23:00.000 So, let's make sure that never happens.

00:23:01.000 Let's shut some of that stuff down right away.

00:23:04.000 And that's why this was absolutely based.

00:23:06.000 Incredible female fighter. 1.00

00:23:09.000 Holly Holm calls out the sexualization of our children after her UFC win on Saturday night.

00:23:16.000 Guys, the tide is turning.

00:23:18.000 That people who rely on sponsorship dollars, that rely on this stuff, so much of which has gone so fucking woke, you can't even believe it, that they would have the guts to get out there and say this,

00:23:31.000 It's freaking awesome.

00:23:33.000 It's so important.

00:23:34.000 And again, people are finally getting it.

00:23:37.000 We have to draw the line.

00:23:39.000 We have to protect our children.

00:23:41.000 Check it out.

00:23:43.000 Something has been on my part, and I feel like I have the platform to stand.

00:23:46.000 I need to stand.

00:23:47.000 I just feel it's really sad on the sexualization of our children right now, and we need to protect them.

00:23:52.000 Whatever that may be, let's protect the children, please.

00:23:54.000 Do anything we can to help.

00:23:59.000 Okay, so that was absolutely incredible.

00:24:02.000 I think that was so, so, so important.

00:24:06.000 Again, guys, it's a real problem.

00:24:08.000 It's a real issue.

00:24:09.000 It's something we have to deal with.

00:24:11.000 Again, whether it's at the border, whether it's across the board, you know, again, I promise you, if Donald Trump was on Epstein's list, you'd hear about it.

00:24:18.000 Okay, this whole conspiracy, there is not a Hollywood cabal.

00:24:21.000 All right, sure. 0.97

00:24:22.000 Like, magically, Glujane, whatever the fuck her name was, Maxwell, could go do jail for 25 years for trafficking kids to apparently nobody. 1.00

00:24:22.000 Yeah, sure. 1.00

00:24:31.000 I mean, it's incredible, right?

00:24:32.000 It just... She's just doing jail, but no one was part of it! 1.00

00:24:35.000 They didn't know that the kid was nine!

00:24:38.000 They had no idea, folks!

00:24:40.000 Right?

00:24:41.000 Yeah, there's no cabal.

00:24:42.000 I'm sure, totally.

00:24:43.000 We just put people in jail for 25 years.

00:24:45.000 By the way, they'd do that to Trump.

00:24:47.000 That's what Alvin Bragg would try to do.

00:24:50.000 But, you know, if you're a hardcore Democrat, they wouldn't even try to do that, right?

00:24:54.000 You just put you in jail for fun, right?

00:24:56.000 The big Democrat donor or their friends.

00:24:59.000 Sure.

00:25:00.000 So it's a real problem, and I think it's absolutely awesome that Holly Holm called it out.

00:25:05.000 She called it out on a world stage.

00:25:07.000 She called it out where there's sponsorship dollars on the line, where a lot of faux corporate, you know, is involved, where there's actual probably consequences to her for saying the obvious.

00:25:17.000 But the fact that she did it is absolutely awesome and so, so, so important for everything that we're doing.

00:25:25.000 So guys, before I get to Michael Seifert, I do have to thank all of our sponsors.

00:25:30.000 Namely, Gold Co.

00:25:31.000 right now.

00:25:32.000 They're the first sponsor of our show.

00:25:34.000 Absolutely awesome.

00:25:35.000 I feel like the timing is so perfect for that one.

00:25:38.000 Because, like, I started this show and, like,

00:25:40.000 A couple weeks later, the world started collapsing, right?

00:25:43.000 Banks are toppling.

00:25:45.000 There's a crisis there.

00:25:46.000 There's runs on the banks.

00:25:47.000 We have people on the board of the ones that are failing that are literally improv comics!

00:25:52.000 Like, what could possibly go wrong, folks? 0.90

00:25:54.000 Because ESG, woke, bullshit, DEI stuff is driving the thought process, not what 0.98

00:26:01.000 Protects your bottom line. 0.92

00:26:03.000 So if you want to diversify your portfolios, get out of the stock market, change it up, make sure you have security, guys.

00:26:10.000 Go check out the folks at Gold Co.

00:26:12.000 OK, it's looking like 2008 all over again, where millions of Americans, they watch their savings just go down the tubes.

00:26:20.000 I mean, man, I saw it myself.

00:26:21.000 I was like, oh, God, like.

00:26:23.000 Luckily, I'm blessed.

00:26:23.000 That was a hit.

00:26:24.000 I get that.

00:26:25.000 I understand that fully.

00:26:26.000 But not everyone has that.

00:26:28.000 So gold and silver can protect your retirement savings from the devaluation of the dollar, from the insanity in the stock market, where, again, you saw 1,000-point drops a couple weeks, 10 days ago, whatever it was.

00:26:41.000 So owning tangible, physical, inflation-hedging gold and silver can help diversify your portfolio.

00:26:48.000 And if we're going to support the companies that support us,

00:26:51.000 Go check out Gold Co.

00:26:53.000 They can take you through all of this.

00:26:54.000 Go to DonJrGold.com.

00:26:56.000 It's an easy one to remember.

00:26:58.000 D-O-N-J-R-Gold.com.

00:27:01.000 Really easy.

00:27:02.000 They can walk you through it.

00:27:03.000 You don't have to do anything.

00:27:04.000 There's no obligation.

00:27:05.000 They'll tell you about it.

00:27:06.000 They'll give you, you know,

00:27:07.000 Everything you need to know so you can make that decision yourself.

00:27:11.000 So support the companies who support you, who have the guts to support a show like this instead of supporting, you know, I'm sure there's plenty of woke companies that are doing or brokering and selling gold and silver, but if you go to goldco at donjrgold.com to learn more, you'll be supporting companies who took a chance on a show like this, and that matters.

00:27:31.000 So donjrgold.com.

00:27:33.000 So while we're talking,

00:27:35.000 about the chaos going on in this country.

00:27:39.000 And again, it's crazy.

00:27:42.000 It's time for you guys to also check out My Patriot Supply.

00:27:45.000 Economic anxiety, a banking crisis, supply chain shortages.

00:27:50.000 You know, our transportation secretary during a supply chain shortage is out there chest feeding, taking nice paternity leave because, you know, that's what you do when 350 million Americans are dependent on you.

00:28:02.000 It's important.

00:28:03.000 Be hedged, be prepared.

00:28:05.000 That's why I partnered with the great folks at My Patriot Supply.

00:28:59.000 And who the hell knows if one's coming, but man, as I look to see what's going on right now, it'd be hard to assume

00:29:27.000 And with that folks, we're gonna go to Michael Seifert who did build his own who did start

00:29:33.000 The trend for people to be able to find how to support other businesses like you at home, when you travel, when you're on the road.

00:29:43.000 Give these guys the business.

00:29:45.000 This is the breakthrough.

00:29:46.000 The first

00:29:48.000 Really in the patriot economy.

00:29:50.000 I'd love for there not to be two separate economies.

00:29:52.000 I'd love for there not to be divergent interests.

00:29:55.000 I'd love for all of those things to be happening.

00:29:57.000 But so long as half of woke corporate America and probably a lot more would put us in the gulags, you know, call like peaceful protesters from J6 terrorists, mothers, concerned parents, domestic terrorists for going to a school board meeting and not wanting their children indoctrinated with, you know, BLM and, you know, DEI nonsense, but maybe like learn math instead. 0.78

00:30:19.000 Support those companies.

00:30:20.000 You're gonna like this interview with Michael Seifert.

00:30:22.000 He's a great guy.

00:30:23.000 He's become a great friend. 0.99

00:30:24.000 I'm gonna do whatever I can to help him and Public Square grow and really get that dual economy going until the other side is willing to not be political, to not hate your guts, to not hate your freedoms, your religion, your values, until they're willing to not jam their woke bullshit down your throats. 0.99

00:30:47.000 We gotta play, and the way to play is by voting with your wallet. 0.98

00:30:51.000 So guys, check out this interview.

00:30:53.000 I think you're gonna love it.

00:30:56.000 Guys, welcome to another episode of Triggered.

00:30:58.000 This one's interesting.

00:30:59.000 We always talk about what we can do, what we should be doing.

00:31:04.000 We hear and have heard for years, build your own, build your own, and then they pull something else out from under you, right?

00:31:10.000 Build your own app, well then Amazon or Apple or Google won't let you on their app store.

00:31:17.000 Build your own, then AWS Web Services pulls you off of their server, at least on the tech side.

00:31:23.000 I'm with a good friend, Michael Seifert, who created Public Square because he saw what was going on and decided to build his own.

00:31:31.000 Michael, again, you guys have probably seen me posting a lot about it, but this is like, to me, the front lines in the battle of pushing back against the insanity.

00:31:41.000 I mean, woke corporate is coming after you.

00:31:44.000 You can choose to give your money to them, or

00:31:48.000 You can find a small business that actually shares your values, and you did that.

00:31:53.000 Give us the whole story, because it's really sort of fascinating.

00:31:55.000 He's 27 years old, right?

00:31:57.000 The beard makes him look like not a baby, but I think if we shave that off... I look like a baby, if I don't have a beard.

00:32:04.000 But you saw this, you're a young guy, tech background, and we're like, enough.

00:32:10.000 Give us the story.

00:32:11.000 Thanks, Don.

00:32:12.000 Good to be here.

00:32:13.000 Yeah.

00:32:13.000 Well, we do talk about this a lot.

00:32:15.000 We didn't want to just be talkers.

00:32:18.000 We wanted to be doers.

00:32:19.000 And so we're all aware that corporations have destroyed our economy.

00:32:22.000 They have stripped power away from small businesses because COVID was a great example.

00:32:27.000 All the businesses that were preaching about lockdowns, Walmart, Amazon, were the same ones that profited off of lockdowns because Walmart was allowed to stay open while your local small business wasn't.

00:32:37.000 And so that is the most illuminating picture of what's been happening the past few decades.

00:32:42.000 There are a few major corporations that embrace DEI and ESG and all these socially progressive ideas.

00:32:48.000 And the ones that end up paying for it are average American consumers that want nothing to do with those values.

00:32:53.000 They want to support the businesses that help them make their patriotism strong.

00:33:00.000 And unfortunately, we're in this spot now where we've all awakened to the reality through really harsh circumstances, like people getting cancelled from their banks.

00:33:09.000 Clothing companies starting preaching about transgenderism.

00:33:12.000 You'll go to Starbucks and not even know that they're funding abortions.

00:33:15.000 Like, it's the wildest thing.

00:33:16.000 So we were all kind of asleep to it for a while.

00:33:18.000 We knew that these corporations were going the progressive way.

00:33:21.000 And then the last few years it's been this big bomb that's blown up that's helped us all realize we need to move our money to people that don't hate us.

00:33:27.000 The most fundamental piece of every transaction is trust.

00:33:31.000 And so if I can't trust the bank I bank with,

00:33:34.000 The financial institution that I use for insurance or mortgages or whatever, the clothes that I wear, if I cannot trust these institutions, then there's a major breakdown in our economy.

00:33:44.000 I've got to move my money toward where I trust.

00:33:47.000 And the only way you do that is by shared value.

00:33:49.000 So, in January of 2021, I had this idea for a platform that would help connect freedom-loving Americans with the businesses that share their values.

00:33:56.000 My wife and I had a list on a piece of paper of all the businesses in our local town that we knew.

00:34:00.000 And you're from the People's Republic of California.

00:34:03.000 We're from California, and so we need this more than anybody.

00:34:07.000 And what's so... Still, more conservatives in California than pretty much every state other than maybe Texas.

00:34:12.000 Other than Texas, exactly right.

00:34:13.000 Yeah, it may be California only because of the way they're able to vote, but there's more conservatives there than literally every other state other than Texas combined because of the population.

00:34:22.000 It's actually a huge conservative place, but those people don't get to essentially have any

00:34:28.000 Real say in things because there's enough votes in LA, San Fran, and stuff like that to outweigh all the conservatives in the farmland and in other areas.

00:34:34.000 Yep.

00:34:35.000 Even San Diego, it's largely a conservative town.

00:34:37.000 People love the family unit, they love the military, they believe in American patriotism, they believe in the Constitution, and yet our voices aren't heard.

00:34:45.000 Because where the money is housed in society today is largely in the hands of corporate elites that are partnered with a regime in government that wants nothing to do with our freedoms or liberties.

00:34:56.000 And so California, we know that firsthand.

00:34:58.000 We figured where better to start this app than there.

00:35:01.000 And what we found is we released this app in the fall of 2021, just in San Diego.

00:35:06.000 We had a website, an app, lots of local businesses, and it just blossomed.

00:35:11.000 We started hearing from the rest of California that they wanted it too, and so we expanded it to the state.

00:35:15.000 And then we started hearing that there's a hunger for this nationwide.

00:35:17.000 That actually, that list I described, what if everyone could have their list?

00:35:21.000 And from there, July 4th of 2022, so about eight months ago, we launched nationwide.

00:35:26.000 Now today, over half a million consumers, nearly 50,000 businesses on the platform, all different industries from different backgrounds with one thing in common.

00:35:36.000 A shared set of values that embody the principles found in our Constitution so that you know as a consumer, with the blessed assurance, that you're not funding companies that hate you.

00:35:45.000 It is that simple.

00:35:46.000 It's how we change culture.

00:35:47.000 It's more than just an election cycle.

00:35:49.000 It takes day-to-day purchasing power shifted toward those that you can be proud to stand behind.

00:35:56.000 I experienced this, I was telling you, last week.

00:36:00.000 I started MXM News with a buddy.

00:36:02.000 Again, build your own.

00:36:03.000 Okay, so we will.

00:36:04.000 You know, I was really sort of pissed off about the Hunter Biden story not being covered anywhere.

00:36:08.000 But there were some small places to cover it, but it was never going to get out into the ether, right?

00:36:13.000 They suppress it, do whatever you can.

00:36:14.000 So created a news aggregation app, just MXM News, like minute by minute.

00:36:19.000 And like, we put up everything.

00:36:20.000 There's stuff I looked yesterday, I was like, there was stuff from Mediaite, you know, not exactly conservative.

00:36:25.000 You know, USA Today, New York Times, but it also had Breitbart and Daily Caller and these kind of things.

00:36:30.000 So you get everything and you scroll through, you click the article that you want.

00:36:33.000 It literally just aggregates existing news.

00:36:35.000 It doesn't create news.

00:36:37.000 It's not right-wing propaganda.

00:36:38.000 It just allows you to see everything and or perhaps both sides of a perspective.

00:36:43.000 You get the, you know, the Washington Post, New York Times, total left-wing side and then maybe that's outweighed by conservative side.

00:36:49.000 PNC Bank.

00:36:51.000 A major national bank.

00:36:55.000 My partner calls and goes, uh, our account's at zero.

00:36:59.000 I think we just got hacked or someone stole three quarters of a million dollars.

00:37:02.000 Like, the operating account of this business!

00:37:05.000 And we're like, what?

00:37:06.000 So he calls, and they're like, oh yeah, you'll get a FedEx tomorrow with a cashier's check.

00:37:14.000 It's like, wait, you just, they broke up without even a call.

00:37:19.000 They just sent us a cashier's check.

00:37:21.000 We're not just doing business with you.

00:37:23.000 Like, well, what did we do?

00:37:24.000 No reasoning, no cause.

00:37:27.000 We weren't doing anything controversial.

00:37:29.000 We're literally just, we take news that's there, and we let people choose for themselves.

00:37:34.000 A major bank just said, yeah, we're not doing that.

00:37:36.000 Now, I am blessed in the sense that, it still happened to me, but if they can do it to me, you know, who can't they do it?

00:37:43.000 More importantly, who won't they do it to in the end, right?

00:37:46.000 So it's just a little small business operating, trying to get news out there, sends us a cashier check.

00:37:51.000 Now, when I make a stink about it, I have a soapbox.

00:37:54.000 I got some, you know, man, I got, you know,

00:37:57.000 Pretty powerful friends and like guys I do a lot with.

00:37:59.000 They follow my feed and they're like, I mean, I got the Speaker of the House to be like, oh my god, this is insane.

00:38:03.000 Like, really?

00:38:04.000 Because we are at risk, guys.

00:38:06.000 We are at threat.

00:38:08.000 Like, it's no different than being in, you know, Facebook jail on social media.

00:38:11.000 Like, it's not a question of if it will happen to you, but when.

00:38:16.000 You know, the social credit score is real.

00:38:18.000 And again, if they can do it to me, they can do it to anyone.

00:38:21.000 But not everyone has the ability to fight back like I do and stop it.

00:38:24.000 But now, because of what, you know, Michael's created at Public Square, like, we do.

00:38:30.000 So, I mean, go check it out.

00:38:31.000 Like, PublicSQ.com.

00:38:32.000 The reality is this.

00:38:33.000 If you're at home, you know, you're gonna look for a restaurant.

00:38:36.000 You're gonna get online.

00:38:37.000 Whether you go on his app or his webpage or on Google,

00:38:43.000 It doesn't take any more time.

00:38:44.000 You're searching anyway.

00:38:45.000 If you're traveling, going to a new town with your family, same thing.

00:38:50.000 You're looking it up one way or the other, but if you're going to spend your money, spend it with those who aren't going to take your hard-earned dollars, and ultimately, in many cases, like you said, Starbucks or Disney.

00:39:02.000 Take your money and use it to fund stuff that you can't stand, or companies or ideas that literally would put you in the gulags.

00:39:11.000 You can give it to AT&T

00:39:31.000 Who has, in the last month, tried to cancel Newsmax, who the month prior to that cancelled OAN.

00:39:39.000 Two of the three big right-leaning things on cable, they're just like, eh, we're cancelling you.

00:39:45.000 Millions of households would not see those things if it were them.

00:39:49.000 That's the parent company of AT&T, so you can give your money to AT&T because you're going to have a cell phone.

00:39:56.000 Until they decide your social credit score is not good enough.

00:39:59.000 Back to a flip phone.

00:40:00.000 They blow it up and we're back to smoke signals.

00:40:04.000 But you're going to have it.

00:40:05.000 So you can give it to Patriot Mobile, who gives at least a solid percentage, I think it was 10% in some cases, back to conservative causes, whether it's Second Amendment fights, pro-life issues, all these things.

00:40:17.000 Just things that you'd believe in.

00:40:22.000 Why not give them the business?

00:40:24.000 And by the way, it takes guts for them to sponsor a show like this, knowing it puts them in the crosshairs.

00:40:29.000 So, you know, Patriot Mobile's been one of our great advertisers, so use promo code DONJR for free activation.

00:40:36.000 But again, you're going to have one.

00:40:38.000 Like, why give it to people who are even taking a tiny fraction of your money and weaponizing it against everything that you believe?

00:40:45.000 I mean, so I had that experience this week.

00:40:48.000 Like, we're at CPAC now, so this is going to be airing next week.

00:40:51.000 But we're at CPAC now.

00:40:53.000 They're like, what are you speaking about?

00:40:54.000 Well, this just happened to me, so I'm going to be doing it.

00:40:56.000 But it also, like, sort of fortuitous, like, the same week that you guys are now, you know, going to be going public.

00:41:02.000 Like, which is sort of an awesome story about this, but we gotta be doing it, and we're gonna be taking the time to do it anyway, so you might as well look through here.

00:41:11.000 So, I mean, tell us more about some of the Public Square businesses.

00:41:13.000 Like, I did it last night.

00:41:14.000 I mean, we're in D.C., and I'm like, where am I gonna go that I'm not gonna get yelled at?

00:41:19.000 So I literally got on the app,

00:41:20.000 Found restaurants in the area, found one, and they're like, we called like last minute, we're like, hey, can you get a table for 18?

00:41:27.000 It was like, me, Cam obviously, Carrie Lake, Matt Gaetz, Sean Parnell, Nigel Farage, like it was a pretty solid wrecking crew of, let's say, people that probably have pissed off the vast majority of DC, and they're like,

00:41:46.000 Yeah, we can make that happen.

00:41:47.000 And they were, like, awesome.

00:41:47.000 Come on in.

00:41:49.000 Like, and it was so, for me, in this town, not easy.

00:41:52.000 Right?

00:41:53.000 And we went to a place that, like, I was as welcome as I would be back at home in Jupiter.

00:41:57.000 Like, Florida.

00:41:58.000 Like, in D.C.

00:41:59.000 So, like, you can do this.

00:42:00.000 Like, send that guy's kid to soccer camp.

00:42:03.000 Yes.

00:42:04.000 You know what I mean?

00:42:04.000 Send that family your business.

00:42:07.000 Not, you know, woke corporate.

00:42:09.000 Again, who's going to be funding Planned Parenthood or the Insanity or the Trans B.S. 1.00

00:42:14.000 Like, whatever it may be.

00:42:15.000 It's so obvious, but we gotta be engaged.

00:42:18.000 You know, so much of this show, what can we do?

00:42:21.000 This!

00:42:21.000 You can do this.

00:42:23.000 Well, it is that easy, too.

00:42:24.000 People are always like, well, I can't change my iPhone, so why should I even try?

00:42:28.000 They own too much, they're too powerful.

00:42:30.000 But my easy rebuttal to that is like, guys, it doesn't take much.

00:42:33.000 Start with a cup of coffee.

00:42:34.000 There are coffee shops in your local region.

00:42:36.000 Some donate to abortion, do not like the police, vocally preach for defunding the police.

00:42:42.000 Those are the Starbucks of the world.

00:42:44.000 In fact, we have a coffee shop in San Diego that has quite a few locations that during the Summer of Love, June 2020, refused to serve police officers.

00:42:53.000 I read that story.

00:42:54.000 It was absurd!

00:42:54.000 Wait, wait, wait.

00:42:57.000 If I've spent time in California, it was around San Diego, only because I used to shoot competitively.

00:43:01.000 My buddy was the captain of the Marine Corps Rifle Team.

00:43:03.000 I used to go shoot at Camp Pendleton a lot, you know, in matches and stuff like that.

00:43:08.000 Even for California, it's a reasonably conservative area, but certainly like law enforcement.

00:43:12.000 And in all fairness, I don't know that the whole defund the police accomplished quite what people... Very opposite.

00:43:19.000 I don't think anyone with a brain actually thought that this thing would end up somehow good, but even like the lunatics in San Francisco are like, maybe we gotta refund the police. 0.66

00:43:30.000 Yeah! 1.00

00:43:31.000 Like, no shit. 0.99

00:43:32.000 Like, really? 0.99

00:43:33.000 They're retracting those stories two years later, but it's, like, under the table.

00:43:37.000 They're not even admitting it.

00:43:38.000 But that's what's so easy.

00:43:39.000 You could go to that coffee shop, or for two seconds, you could find the one across the street.

00:43:42.000 Exactly.

00:43:43.000 You know, it's no different than your phone.

00:43:44.000 Like, hey, you're probably having a cup of coffee in the morning.

00:43:47.000 Yep.

00:43:47.000 Or, you know, buying sneakers.

00:43:49.000 Or need a bank.

00:43:50.000 Well, yeah, I may be calling you.

00:43:52.000 Yeah, we've got options.

00:43:54.000 I gotta get back on the bank thing, because, look, again, even I can't get

00:44:00.000 A bank? 0.98

00:44:16.000 Hey, you're not maximizing shareholder value, but that doesn't matter because of the ESG bullshit. 0.99

00:44:22.000 Exactly. 0.95

00:44:23.000 Just like Apple has a great ESG score because they sub out the child slave labor that's mining cobalt and lithium in Africa to a third-party company. 0.86

00:44:34.000 So their hands are clean.

00:44:36.000 They didn't pull the trigger.

00:44:38.000 They just paid someone else to do it.

00:44:41.000 Come on.

00:44:42.000 Well, and the ESG stuff is so nonsense.

00:44:44.000 FTX has one of the highest, well, did have one of the highest ESG scores in the world. 0.96

00:44:49.000 You can be the most corrupt company on the planet.

00:44:52.000 You can have zero morals, no ethics, but as long as you preach the message that the regime wants you to preach, you get a high ESG score.

00:44:59.000 And what you know on Public Square, what we've wanted to do is make sure that none of the businesses on the platform have that ESG score because

00:45:05.000 It's fundamentally anti-American.

00:45:06.000 It's fundamentally anti-free speech.

00:45:09.000 It's fundamentally anti-liberty.

00:45:11.000 And not only that, the whole social component of ESG is so fundamentally anti-human at its core because it classifies people by what they look like.

00:45:19.000 And I thought that the true definition of equality was that we don't judge each other by the color of our skin, but by the content of our character.

00:45:26.000 But ESG says the very opposite.

00:45:27.000 It's absurd.

00:45:43.000 I just want a bagel.

00:45:43.000 I don't know, man.

00:45:45.000 I don't care who makes it.

00:45:47.000 I don't want to judge them.

00:45:48.000 But you see it.

00:45:50.000 Guilting you into supporting a specific... I feel like we're actually regressing in terms of racial equality because of the insanity that's going on out there.

00:46:00.000 You see it in the schools.

00:46:02.000 I think it was Stanford, speaking of California.

00:46:07.000 Only 20% of their incoming class was white.

00:46:10.000 And then the leftists were like, well, do you think that's because they're underperforming?

00:46:13.000 I was like, well, maybe they are.

00:46:15.000 But if you look at any other metric across the country, they wouldn't be.

00:46:21.000 And that wouldn't be the ratio.

00:46:22.000 So it's like, well, we're going to artificially do this.

00:46:24.000 So we're going to make sure of this.

00:46:25.000 And it's crazy.

00:46:27.000 And then you look at the Harvards of the world discriminating against Asians, who also probably oftentimes happen to overperform academically, whether that's

00:46:36.000 You know, a family structure, you know, sort of a, it's just something that's been pushed in there.

00:46:41.000 A cultural drive?

00:46:41.000 Absolutely.

00:46:42.000 A cultural drive, like, who knows, but, you know, all of a sudden, like, if you were white or that, it's like, that doesn't count.

00:46:47.000 So, I mean, higher education, I think it feels like they're blowing themselves up.

00:46:47.000 Yeah.

00:46:51.000 You know, I've experienced some of that, you know, myself, where, even where I went, you know, it's like, well, that guy's, you know, good track star, we're gonna let him into Wharton, and it's like, where'd he go?

00:46:59.000 It's like, junior year, what happened?

00:47:02.000 Maybe there's just a rigor that not everyone can handle, and by giving them a certain opportunity, and if it's too far, and they can't handle it, are you doing them a favor if they drop out?

00:47:13.000 No, affirmative action is... As opposed to going to a school, a great school, maybe not quite the academic rigor, or whether it was mathematical rigor perhaps in that case, or whatever it may be, that's not perfect.

00:47:25.000 Sometimes you're not doing people a favor when you're thinking you're doing them a favor, right?

00:47:29.000 Well, and it's a false sense of compassion, because there are so many people in our country that hear things like affirmative action, they hear about Yelp giving free advertising to black-owned businesses, they hear about makeup companies

00:47:56.000 I think so.

00:48:15.000 Parading this false idea of womanhood with a dude that is actually very clearly a guy.

00:48:23.000 Like, I'm doing no one any favors.

00:48:25.000 I'm certainly not doing the consumer any favor.

00:48:27.000 I'm not doing women any favors. 0.99

00:48:29.000 I'm actually erasing them in the process.

00:48:30.000 If I even for a glimpse celebrate that.

00:48:32.000 So, what we need to do is have like a harsh wake-up call in the country where we recognize that true compassion looks like embracing reality.

00:48:40.000 Because I'm doing you no favors by lying to you.

00:48:42.000 I'm doing no favors telling you you can get into a school that you really can't.

00:48:45.000 I'm doing no favors telling you that you deserve free advertising because what I'm actually saying is like, I think I have to give you a leg up.

00:48:51.000 In San Diego, the bar, so in California, the California bar, the requirements are dropping and their reason was we're dropping the requirements for the bar to accommodate more people of different ethnic backgrounds.

00:49:03.000 What are you saying?

00:49:04.000 Are you saying that you don't believe that people of different ethnic backgrounds could have made it on their own and you now have to lower the standards for them?

00:49:10.000 It's incredibly racist.

00:49:13.000 I guess there wasn't enough equity in AP classes, in the advanced placement classes, so they just eliminated them.

00:49:19.000 So to not make the people who were underachieving in school, you're actually holding back those who were overachievers from learning more.

00:49:28.000 That could be your next Elon Musk.

00:49:31.000 That could be your next Einstein.

00:49:33.000 But we're actually going to hold them back so as not to offend them.

00:49:37.000 I don't know man, like where does that go for society?

00:49:40.000 Nowhere good, certainly for America, certainly for our standing in the world, because I guarantee you that's not happening in China. 1.00

00:49:40.000 Nowhere good. 1.00

00:49:46.000 No.

00:49:47.000 You see those videos in China, what they're learning on TikTok versus what we're learning on TikTok, it's absurd.

00:49:47.000 You know what I mean?

00:49:52.000 You know, my kid when he came back from kindergarten with like a little collage and stuff like that, their kids are building iPhones

00:49:58.000 Yeah, and learning how to load a Glock.

00:50:00.000 It's like, what?

00:50:01.000 I'm like, what just happened?

00:50:03.000 It's crazy, but we continue to perpetuate it.

00:50:08.000 We think it's right to have an AP class, because some people felt bad that they weren't in it.

00:50:13.000 It's like, well, are they working harder?

00:50:16.000 There's ways they could still better themselves, but you don't do that at the expense of those who've been excelling.

00:50:21.000 Definitely not.

00:50:22.000 It's lunacy.

00:50:23.000 So, I mean, tell us some of the, I mean, I know there's got to be some pretty great stories, you know, with Public SQ and, like, just the businesses and making a difference.

00:50:23.000 Yeah.

00:50:32.000 I mean, again, some business, you know, you could see what they're up against, right?

00:50:36.000 That coffee shop that may be in public is up against, you know, major tech corporations being, shop at this one place because it's XYZ history month.

00:50:44.000 Like, you know, there's always some sort of, you know, and there's a reason not to go there.

00:50:47.000 I mean, you know, not only are you sort of artificially boosting one business, but you're also,

00:50:52.000 Pulling away from another.

00:50:54.000 I mean, you guys got some good stories.

00:50:56.000 I mean, it always helps to read because I see these things.

00:50:58.000 Like I saw it last night just going into this restaurant.

00:51:00.000 They were like, yeah.

00:51:01.000 I'm like, wait, like I was waiting.

00:51:03.000 I felt like I was getting punked.

00:51:05.000 Like I'm being like welcomed in DC.

00:51:06.000 Like, you know.

00:51:08.000 I'm an insurrectionist!

00:51:09.000 Wow, that was kind of cool.

00:51:12.000 One, you deserve to feel that way.

00:51:12.000 Yeah.

00:51:13.000 When you walk into somewhere that's trying to serve you a quality product, you deserve to feel welcomed.

00:51:19.000 Like it used to be the customer's always right.

00:51:21.000 And so if you, it doesn't matter who you are, you're Don Jr.

00:51:24.000 or Joe Schmo from Ohio, it doesn't matter.

00:51:28.000 If you walk into an establishment, that establishment should care more than anything else about making sure that you feel welcomed.

00:51:34.000 And it does not matter what your political background is, that should be the goal of a business.

00:51:38.000 And on our platform, that's the drive of these business owners.

00:51:41.000 We want to provide quality products and services to Americans, because we're for America, and we believe that one of the principles found in the Constitution is that you have

00:51:53.000 So, amazing stories happen every single day.

00:52:03.000 We've got a great team that basically captures these stories, and businesses will reach out and share their success.

00:52:07.000 Just yesterday, we had a great business called Carnivore Snacks.

00:52:10.000 They're on the platform.

00:52:11.000 They're actually Joe Rogan's favorite snack.

00:52:13.000 He said that on a podcast once, which was kind of cool.

00:52:16.000 I don't know.

00:52:36.000 I've been on your platform only for a few weeks now and I've already gotten $100,000 of business and new clientele through your platform because people are tired of the woke healthcare establishment that are using my dollars to fund causes I don't believe in.

00:52:48.000 And now they're coming to America First Healthcare and feeling proud of their healthcare options and can know and rest easy at night that they're not funding companies that hate them.

00:52:55.000 We're hearing stories from clothing companies that are saying we've had the most successful e-commerce day we've ever had.

00:53:00.000 4 Rowan, an amazing clothing company, makes high quality women's and men's clothing.

00:53:05.000 They donate 1% of all their proceeds to fatherhood initiatives in the United States.

00:53:09.000 And they reached out and they said, hey, we had our best day of e-commerce we've ever had.

00:53:13.000 We have a bank in San Diego that continues to get new customers every time another bank comes out and says, hey, we're anti-Second Amendment.

00:53:20.000 This bank steps up and says, we're pro-Second Amendment.

00:53:22.000 And it doesn't matter what you're purchasing, as long as it's legal, we're going to protect it.

00:53:26.000 So the stories roll in, and it's honestly, Don, like the best part about this.

00:53:30.000 And I text you stuff every once in a while.

00:53:32.000 It's great.

00:53:33.000 It's the best part.

00:53:34.000 It's so incredibly rewarding.

00:53:37.000 And to know that we're about a mission that's so much bigger than ourselves, this is really a generational legacy we're trying to create that moves the money back to we, the people.

00:53:45.000 It's the honor of a lifetime.

00:53:47.000 Well, and I think maybe that's the other thing people have to understand.

00:53:49.000 It's not just a platform for you if you're a consumer.

00:53:52.000 Right?

00:53:52.000 If you're a consumer, it's a great place to find all the businesses you may want to find.

00:53:56.000 But also, if you're a small business, or even a big business.

00:54:01.000 I mean, some of the businesses on there are pretty big.

00:54:03.000 But if you're a big business and you're signing on to sort of the values of public SQ, you can be there.

00:54:10.000 You can get yourself to the consumer.

00:54:12.000 So it's not just... I mean, talk about the business side of things.

00:54:14.000 I think you can sign up from the business perspective, as well as from the consumer, and just have access to all these people.

00:54:21.000 That's absolutely right.

00:54:22.000 And it's free.

00:54:22.000 So what we pitched to the businesses is, hey, if you want to prioritize your goods and services to a group of consumers that will drive farther or spend more to spend money in alignment with their values, go here.

00:54:34.000 Sign up.

00:54:35.000 Create a free profile.

00:54:36.000 Takes three minutes.

00:54:37.000 And all of a sudden, watch what happens to your sales.

00:54:40.000 Not only is this mission incredibly fruitful and liberating, it's also a lucrative one.

00:54:43.000 What people do not realize is that the Patriot economy is the last emerging market in the world.

00:54:48.000 We're good to go.

00:55:04.000 To help consumers feel like you felt last night, welcomed in an establishment, this is a great place to do it and you will get rewarded for it.

00:55:11.000 Not only will you feel liberated because you're living out your values, you're also going to see your profits increase.

00:55:16.000 We had a hair salon that reached out and said, hey, I just want to let you know I've been on the platform a month.

00:55:20.000 I've already gotten enough new business from Public Square, from PublicSQ.com this month.

00:55:26.000 To make up for my entire year.

00:55:27.000 It's amazing.

00:55:28.000 And every time they come in, the consumers are friendly.

00:55:31.000 They're excited to see me.

00:55:33.000 They're good people.

00:55:34.000 These are salt of the earth.

00:55:35.000 And so, I think the very cool thing that's happening here is that businesses are learning that there's a whole underground movement that's starting to rise up.

00:55:45.000 Thank you.

00:56:00.000 It's free to join as a business.

00:56:02.000 Businesses will generally try it out for a few weeks, a few months, and then they'll reach out and they'll say, how do I do advertising?

00:56:08.000 Like, I actually want to move my dollars from Google or from Yelp or from Facebook to Public Square because I'm seeing a better return here.

00:56:14.000 And that's obviously, it's what'll keep us going for the long haul, and it's what creates this actual parallel economy that has real legs to it for the long haul.

00:56:22.000 Well, you also work with companies like Red Balloon, our friend Andrew over there.

00:56:27.000 I mean, it's like a job board.

00:56:29.000 So if you're looking for conservative employees, you know, you're a Christian business, you know, and you're getting inundated with resumes of people who you know are probably lunatics who are going to figure out the first thing to sue you about.

00:56:40.000 I mean, you're sort of almost outsourcing your HR.

00:56:44.000 Yep.

00:56:44.000 You know what I mean?

00:57:01.000 Discriminated against, frankly, as far as I'm concerned at work, because I'm sure that happens all the time.

00:57:05.000 I mean, you know, the Christian conservative at a woke business.

00:57:07.000 If you're a Republican in big tech, like, it ain't an easy existence.

00:57:11.000 You gotta, you gotta, you know, hide in the shadows.

00:57:13.000 And I mean, you came from a tech background kind of anyway.

00:57:16.000 We just, I mean, I'm sure there's some interesting stories there, given, you know, where I know you stand.

00:57:21.000 But, you know, there's an entire thing.

00:57:23.000 And all of that's growing.

00:57:25.000 And I mean, I think what's really exciting, and you know, last week announced, you know, going, you guys are now going public.

00:57:30.000 I mean, talk about that a little bit, because again, I think there's a couple parts of that that's awesome.

00:57:35.000 It allows people to partake in this beyond even just looking at the business, but you know, sort of support companies that are

00:57:42.000 I think so.

00:58:02.000 It's also helping us every day, right?

00:58:03.000 Oh, yeah.

00:58:03.000 Because we used to be like, I don't know, I guess live and let live.

00:58:06.000 But now it's so flagrant.

00:58:07.000 It's so insane.

00:58:08.000 It's so in your face.

00:58:10.000 It's so aggressive and visceral that we're like, oh, man, we have to go and put forth that little extra effort.

00:58:17.000 And I mean, I think that's working out great.

00:58:19.000 But I mean, talk about that story, because I think it lets everyone also figure out a way to partake.

00:58:23.000 If they already figured out their coffee shop, if they're already doing this, this is another way for them to play in this and help ensure

00:58:31.000 We're good to go.

00:58:48.000 While our community has been built by we the people, we're not owned by we the people.

00:58:52.000 We have an amazing community of investors that I cherish so dearly because they've wanted to put their money where their values are and invest in a company and create this company with their capital that would change the country for generations to come.

00:59:06.000 But I've been really, really excited also to expand that investor base to have we the people own the company.

00:59:11.000 And one of the only ways you can really do that is by going public.

00:59:14.000 So people have a lot of problems with going public that are totally merited.

00:59:17.000 I do too.

00:59:18.000 But we figured, you know what, if we could find the right deal and the right circumstances to where control was ensured and we had the right parameters in place legally to make sure that we had the mission protected over the long haul,

00:59:29.000 Going public would provide an incredible outlet for we the people to actually own the company.

00:59:34.000 To have 10 bucks in shares of Public Square.

00:59:38.000 To gift shares.

00:59:39.000 To show up at Christmas and say, you know what, nephew, I bought you shares in a company that's changing the country.

00:59:45.000 That's our desire because ultimately I want people to be able to profit off of the mission that they created.

00:59:51.000 We did not create this mission.

00:59:52.000 If it was just us, we'd still be in San Diego with a small rinky-dinky website.

00:59:57.000 That'd be it.

00:59:57.000 We're good to go.

01:00:16.000 It's called Columbia is the SPAC CLBR on the New York Stock Exchange.

01:00:19.000 It's an amazing team run by a guy named Omid Malik, and we have a lot of hope for the future here.

01:00:24.000 We're expected to close in Q3, and that'll be the start of a new chapter for us as a company.

01:00:29.000 It'll equip the company with capital that we believe will help us grow off into the future.

01:00:34.000 And we really want to prove to the nation that this is not just a momentary movement.

01:00:39.000 This is a lasting mission that will actually overtake, you described earlier, Don,

01:00:45.000 I think so.

01:01:02.000 But he disagrees with my politics, so I'm going to remove him.

01:01:05.000 Eventually, that's going to catch up to them, because there's going to be a new Patriot economy that emerges, and we're really grateful to be the tip of the spear there. 0.71

01:01:13.000 And so, yeah, it's a fun chapter for us, Don.

01:01:15.000 It's exciting times, and if you're a consumer, you can join at PublicSQ.com.

01:01:20.000 If you're a business, you can join there as well, PublicSQ.com, or you can download the app on the App Store or Google Play.

01:01:26.000 And if you're someone who really wants to own this Patriot economy, this new chapter is a great way for you to do that.

01:01:32.000 Yeah, and I think that's an important thing.

01:01:33.000 You mentioned sort of the control side, right?

01:01:35.000 I think some people have that concern of like, well, if you go public then, you know, could the big institutions... No, the reality is you've actually set it up so that there's always sort of control back with you, the team, so there's no one like... Mike Bloomberg can't come in and buy it all, control it, and say, ha ha, we'll take your money, because that's what big corporate has done, frankly, though.

01:01:55.000 Let's go!

01:02:15.000 It shouldn't have to be.

01:02:16.000 We should be in a very crowded marketplace.

01:02:19.000 Yes.

01:02:19.000 You know what I mean?

01:02:21.000 But woke corporate is so woke, they can't understand it.

01:02:25.000 You're almost out there on your own.

01:02:27.000 Maybe the only other ones that would be close would be like a Rumble.

01:02:31.000 You know, totally, you know, sort of individual investors, not institutional investors.

01:02:35.000 It was the people that bought that shock and made it, you know, the most successful SPAC of 2022, I guess.

01:02:41.000 Truth Social, the same thing.

01:02:43.000 I mean, there were guys that lost billions of dollars because they're like, I don't want anything to do with it.

01:02:46.000 They sold before it went and then, you know, shoots up that 182.

01:02:49.000 And now you're dealing with nonsense from the SEC because it's Trump.

01:02:52.000 And, you know, but like, you know, that was about

01:02:56.000 The people and continues to be so I mean it's unique when you think about like half the country it's like a hundred and seventy five million people that have just been like ah like they'll be with us anyway and no one's actually even trying to cater to them so being first is kind of nice crazy that we have to be but uh but I'll take it

01:03:12.000 Yeah.

01:03:13.000 Well, we do.

01:03:13.000 We feel like we're pioneering something.

01:03:15.000 And speaking to the control side, we've always said to our team, to our investors, to our community partners, we would choose failure of our own company before we would choose sacrificing the mission.

01:03:27.000 Yeah.

01:03:28.000 So if it came to, I either compromise and I succeed, or I fail but we maintain our values, I choose failure ten times out of ten.

01:03:36.000 Because the last thing this economy needs, the last thing this country needs, are phonies that step up and aren't genuine about their intentions.

01:03:43.000 So we're purists in our ideas.

01:03:45.000 We believe that ultimately the world is hungering for genuine expressions of people's actual value system.

01:03:51.000 We're so tired of this fake charade where

01:03:54.000 Everyone knows ESG is a scam.

01:03:56.000 Everyone knows DEI is a scam.

01:03:57.000 We all know that men are men and women are women.

01:03:59.000 We just don't say it.

01:04:00.000 We're tired of that.

01:04:01.000 How dare you?

01:04:02.000 I know, right?

01:04:03.000 My bigotry is just rising up. 0.99

01:04:05.000 You're a terrible human being for stating the obvious. 0.99

01:04:09.000 We saw that right before we started. 0.99

01:04:11.000 Riley Gaines.

01:04:13.000 You know, the great swimmer that lost, I'm going to say lost because she didn't lose anything.

01:04:18.000 She would have been a national champion, but for Leah Thomas, you know, the six foot four biological male that was somehow allowed to compete against these incredible women athletes that spent their time.

01:04:30.000 And I mean, this should be shocking to a lot of people who follow me.

01:04:33.000 Like, it's hard to believe that in 2023, Donald Trump Jr.

01:04:35.000 is a feminist. 0.86

01:04:41.000 You heard it here, folks.

01:04:43.000 How am I one of the few guys fighting this battle?

01:04:47.000 Every day they call me a chauvinist.

01:04:49.000 I don't know.

01:04:51.000 Is common sense that uncommon?

01:04:55.000 Where are the soccer moms? 1.00

01:04:58.000 Trust me, I have kids, and I know you're not allowed to say this, but going to kids sports, it sucks. 0.54

01:05:03.000 Okay, like, it's not fun.

01:05:04.000 Like, just stop.

01:05:05.000 Like, every once in a while, like, there's a moment of, like, okay, that was a great play, that's fun, but, like, I have five kids, so maybe it's worse, but, like, you know, going to watch, like, a triple header of T-Ball is, like...

01:05:18.000 You're a new dad, so you haven't experienced these things yet.

01:05:24.000 I promise you.

01:05:26.000 There's other things I'd probably rather be doing on my weekend.

01:05:29.000 My kids will understand.

01:05:30.000 CNN, Donald Trump Jr.

01:05:33.000 hates kids.

01:05:34.000 That'll be the headline.

01:05:36.000 You know, that's the reality.

01:05:37.000 But we do it.

01:05:40.000 We do it because we have to and it's good for them.

01:05:42.000 But where are the moms in those things? 1.00

01:05:46.000 They've been bullied into like, well, we must just accept this.

01:05:50.000 I was like, wait, you spent 20 years doing this and that guy's going to take your daughter's scholarship?

01:05:54.000 Wait a minute.

01:05:56.000 And that's going to happen.

01:05:57.000 And there will be people now, as they see that that's doable, gaming the system.

01:06:00.000 When the, like, 450th male swimmer in the country can become the number one female in a matter of weeks, that's a problem.

01:06:10.000 Yep.

01:06:10.000 And, you know, but that's all, I mean, it's crazy, but it's all intertwined, right?

01:06:15.000 I mean, that's all part of that.

01:06:17.000 Like, I read the article

01:06:20.000 I guess it was just the other day, it was like, something like, well like, some absurdly high number of females recently identified as being bisexual.

01:06:28.000 It was like 50%.

01:06:30.000 Females. 0.98

01:06:30.000 And I was like, could that be, or could it be that there's so much social pressure? 0.98

01:06:35.000 Like, if you're bisexual, even if you've never even tried it or have no interest, if you say that you are, you eliminate the social pressure with that.

01:06:43.000 Like, you're participating in WOKE and you're being really, like,

01:06:48.000 How did that magically happen in two years?

01:06:50.000 All of a sudden, you know, it went from being, let's call it, you know, 8 to 10% of a population to 50.

01:06:57.000 And yet, during COVID, I think the study was they were shocked that during COVID, I guess, those that were identifying as bisexual, all of a sudden, were only in opposite sex relationships.

01:07:10.000 It's like, well, could it be because they were never really actually

01:07:14.000 But there was a social pressure to do that.

01:07:16.000 I see it in, you know, with kids' schools.

01:07:18.000 Like, there's a, like, you're not cool if you're not gay, or trans, or something like that in these schools.

01:07:23.000 I was talking to a friend in school, a good friend from high school, and her daughters are in school up north, and, you know, she literally said, like, something, it was like 50% of her daughter's class was identifying as, you know, gay or trans.

01:07:37.000 And then there was one furry.

01:07:40.000 You guys know what the furry is?

01:07:41.000 The kid thinks they're a cat.

01:07:45.000 And so the entire school has to accommodate the cat.

01:07:48.000 And there's a litter box in the classroom.

01:07:52.000 Someone told me this.

01:07:53.000 I heard about it from a young kid in New England, actually, a couple months ago.

01:07:57.000 I was like, I thought it was fake.

01:07:58.000 He's like, it's not fake.

01:07:59.000 It's actually happening.

01:08:01.000 And it's like, we're just accommodating this stuff.

01:08:03.000 And guess what?

01:08:03.000 If you're the guy that says something about the furry, you get thrown out of school.

01:08:07.000 Not like maybe the entire school shouldn't be accommodating the lunacy of one person and maybe we do something about that.

01:08:15.000 Can't have that.

01:08:16.000 So, I mean, when you think about just how rapidly accelerating the insanity is, I mean, I feel like it makes this mission so much more important.

01:08:25.000 It does.

01:08:26.000 100%.

01:08:26.000 Because if you want to know

01:08:28.000 How these decisions are getting made and who profits.

01:08:31.000 You've got to look at where the money goes.

01:08:32.000 You've got to understand.

01:08:33.000 By the way, everything.

01:08:34.000 In politics, in Russia, follow the money.

01:08:38.000 When you follow the money, you see the origins.

01:08:41.000 And some of these people, they're smart enough to cover the origins because they know how ridiculous it is, but again, they're not willing to lose their money or their power.

01:08:48.000 If everyone gets behind this thing, you know, they cancelled my father as the President of the United States, the most powerful man in the world, on paper, because they didn't like what he was doing for the people.

01:08:58.000 But, like, you can do that when there's one guy willing to go out on his own.

01:09:03.000 All the guns, all the arrows, all the slings get thrown at that one person, and they can take him out.

01:09:09.000 They ain't doing that to 175 million Americans.

01:09:11.000 Or, if they want to continue doing that, there's enough of a critical mass, and with what you're doing, Michael, to be like, OK, fine, we'll just have two separate economies, and that's OK.

01:09:23.000 And like, we'll fund that, and we have people that actually have jobs, and actually work, and actually probably a little bit more consistent on their mortgage payments, and aren't saddled with $500,000 in debt for an underwater gender studies basket weaving degree.

01:09:39.000 Sure, the payout on that one's going to be wonderful.

01:09:42.000 If we want to play that game, I'm willing to play that, because I trust our people to actually probably be a lot more solid citizens in that respect.

01:09:52.000 And maybe that's where we're going.

01:09:53.000 Like I said, the fact that the same week that you guys are going public, and I've been working with you guys for eight, nine months now, whatever it was,

01:10:03.000 They cancelled me.

01:10:05.000 I mean, you know, we've heard about being put in Facebook jail and social media and they'll, you know, suppress your account a little bit.

01:10:11.000 Like, I was debanked.

01:10:14.000 Just, not even a call.

01:10:16.000 Like, literally, they asked me, you know, what's your speech about CPAC gonna be?

01:10:19.000 I was like, well, I was gonna talk politics, but basically my political speech was, hey, we gotta have to start ballot harvesting.

01:10:24.000 If we don't, it doesn't matter.

01:10:26.000 Now, let's also talk about the other fight that we have in our hand.

01:10:29.000 Like, because, you know, I make this stuff up as I go, but like,

01:10:34.000 There's almost nothing more important.

01:10:36.000 These days, that politics is going to be intertwined with this.

01:10:38.000 We have to be engaged in that game.

01:10:41.000 We can't sit on the sidelines.

01:10:43.000 For those of you that are watching and listening and thinking to yourself, I cannot believe Donald Trump Jr.

01:10:48.000 got debanked.

01:10:49.000 That's absurd.

01:10:50.000 Why would they ever do that to him?

01:10:52.000 He's big though, and he's political, and he's got a voice, and so they probably wanted to target him, but they would never do that to me.

01:10:58.000 The reality is, it's the very opposite.

01:11:00.000 If they can do that to a man as powerful as Donald Trump Jr., to a family as powerful, they can do that to someone with as big of a massive following, of course they can do it to you.

01:11:10.000 It takes a second.

01:11:10.000 They know that.

01:11:11.000 They wouldn't even think about it.

01:11:12.000 They still did it.

01:11:13.000 I mean, and again, I got friends that follow me.

01:11:16.000 I'm very politically involved.

01:11:17.000 I mean, the Speaker of the House was like, this is outrageous.

01:11:20.000 Like, the third most powerful man in the U.S.

01:11:22.000 government saw my tweet and responded to it.

01:11:26.000 Congressmen, senators are hitting it and being insane.

01:11:32.000 If they know I probably have that ability, because it's not the first time I've spent a lot, and they know I have that and don't care, think how little they care about you with your 30 friends on Facebook.

01:11:42.000 They'll cancel you on Facebook before you can ever get the message out.

01:11:45.000 We are slowly becoming communist China.

01:11:48.000 Right?

01:11:49.000 With the advances in AI, you know, they're monitoring things, but things are only pushed one way, right?

01:11:56.000 You can be the furthest lunatic on the left, and it's like you are boosted artificially.

01:12:02.000 Whereas if you say basic things like, hey, there's two genders, and like, you know, and again, I'm actually pretty, like, libertarian on the issue. 0.97

01:12:08.000 Like, if you're an adult and you want to be, I could care less.

01:12:11.000 You know, happy people are productive people.

01:12:14.000 Fine.

01:12:15.000 When you start saying, like, some lunatic teacher's gonna be telling my three-year-old, and you're gonna carve me out of the process, and literally try to mandate that parents should have no say, because the teacher has some sort of, you know, master's degree, that, like, they should be able to talk to a three-year-old to make a life-changing, altering decision, 15 years before they could buy a pack of cigarettes.

01:12:37.000 Like, no.

01:12:39.000 No, man.

01:12:40.000 That's when I'm gonna get engaged, that's when I'm gonna fight, and I'm gonna fight

01:12:45.000 You have no choice.

01:12:46.000 Yep.

01:12:47.000 Couldn't agree more.

01:12:48.000 And part of the challenge too is that...

01:12:50.000 This keeps happening in such a faster cadence.

01:12:55.000 It's like it used to be these stories would happen once a year, and then it started happening every few months, and then it started happening every few weeks, and now, in the same week, PNC Bank is canceling you.

01:13:05.000 Discover, the credit card, they came out and said, hey, any Discover purchases now that are used on guns, we're gonna track, and we're gonna report.

01:13:13.000 Visa and MasterCard have been doing that for a few years.

01:13:16.000 There was a story last year of obviously Bed Bath & Beyond cancelling Mike Lindell, and that was sort of a big thing.

01:13:23.000 But now you're hearing it happen to more and more average people, too, where PayPal came out recently and said, $2,500 fine for misinformation.

01:13:32.000 And then they said, well... I mean, think about that.

01:13:34.000 But think about what that means.

01:13:36.000 Because I went crazy on that one, right?

01:13:38.000 Yeah.

01:13:38.000 Per instance.

01:13:40.000 So like, I mean, how many people have

01:13:43.000 I mean, I bet there's a lot of Americans that don't have anywhere near $2,500 in their bank account and PayPal could just say, well, you talked about the Wuhan lab leak theory.

01:13:52.000 $2,500 out of your bank account.

01:13:53.000 Just like, we're just going to fine you this.

01:13:55.000 Like they have, they're not even like, why?

01:13:57.000 Because someone said something else on their social?

01:13:58.000 What does that have to do with PayPal?

01:14:00.000 They were going to put this out there and trying to implement it.

01:14:04.000 And like, by the way, all the things that I imagined would have been fact-checked as false have since been proven correct.

01:14:09.000 But that doesn't matter.

01:14:10.000 I mean, think of the lunacy.

01:14:13.000 You, not on PayPal's platform, because it's not like they have a social platform that you're talking back and forth, but you could separately say something somewhere else, and PayPal's just like, cha-ching, cha-ching, I don't like what he's saying.

01:14:24.000 And who's the arbiter of that truth?

01:14:26.000 Is it like the media who's been the arbiter of truth?

01:14:28.000 I mean, how many people have been put in Facebook jail for things who have been right?

01:14:32.000 You know, I was the first, I was one of the early guys talking about like, Wuhan lab leak.

01:14:36.000 I was like, of course it came from the lab!

01:14:40.000 In what planet could it not?

01:14:44.000 Of course that was always the most plausible.

01:14:46.000 And I'm saying that, they're like, no!

01:14:48.000 It came from four feet outside the lab where someone ate a bat.

01:14:51.000 I'm like, no, but if you were a doctor and you said what I said, and they're all like, yeah, I mean, of course that was the case.

01:14:58.000 I was like, well, why didn't you?

01:14:59.000 Well, they literally threw me out of the hospital I work at.

01:15:06.000 It's crazy.

01:15:06.000 It is crazy.

01:15:07.000 But again, it's just why people need to be engaged.

01:15:11.000 Everyone thinks, oh, it's not going to happen to me.

01:15:13.000 Oh, it is.

01:15:14.000 It is.

01:15:15.000 And the problem is, when it happens to you, you have much less, probably, ability to do something better than I do.

01:15:20.000 At least I have a voice.

01:15:21.000 It's probably not going to stop them from canceling me, but at least I can be like, hey, this is BS, and maybe other people pull their money from PNC Bank or whatever it may be.

01:15:29.000 But if it continues like this, guys,

01:15:32.000 Social credit score is going to drive whether you can function in society.

01:15:37.000 We were threatened to be cancelled by Chase in the early days when we first started our business.

01:15:43.000 Started a business, got Chase as our kind of banker, and we got rolling.

01:15:48.000 Within three months, a banker called and said, hey, we're concerned about this whole conservative messaging thing, and we'd like to talk to you more about that.

01:15:55.000 We're like, you're our banker!

01:15:57.000 You can't talk to me about that!

01:16:00.000 What part of our conservative messaging are you

01:16:02.000 I like family and freedom and life.

01:16:06.000 That's so offensive.

01:16:08.000 You're an extremist!

01:16:10.000 By the way, every statistic in the world shows that two parent households, active fathers... This stuff works.

01:16:17.000 That's terrible!

01:16:18.000 Who could possibly care about...

01:16:20.000 There was a legislator, I think it was up in South Dakota, which is sort of crazy.

01:16:26.000 They called one of these conservative groups that just believed in the nuclear family, and every statistic in the world shows that children tend to end up better when they have active parents.

01:16:37.000 They called them

01:16:38.000 Extremists!

01:16:40.000 Like, you're a terrorist for believing in, like, the family structure, according to these people.

01:16:44.000 I mean, that's becoming, like, commonplace mainstream think.

01:16:48.000 I mean, Chase Bank, they, another one, I was speaking at a, I was speaking at an evangelical event.

01:16:54.000 They brought me in as a speaker.

01:16:57.000 Chase Bank wouldn't do the credit card processing for the facility that, because they were hosting me as a speaker.

01:17:02.000 Now, I understand that I am not the upstanding

01:17:07.000 Okay, I understand that, you know, I am not as good of a guy as Hunter, but they literally were like, yeah, we're just not, they had to cancel the event.

01:17:22.000 They had thousands of people in attendance.

01:17:23.000 We're like, we can't like, we can't have you in because we can't.

01:17:26.000 Transact.

01:17:27.000 At the last minute, they pull the plug.

01:17:29.000 At an evangelical... like, conservative Christians. 0.98

01:17:32.000 They're terrorists, but we saw Chris Wray last week talking about just that, right? 0.94

01:17:35.000 Well, the FBI has been watching, you know, practicing Catholics.

01:17:39.000 I'm like, wait, what?

01:17:41.000 Like...

01:17:42.000 Yeah, how did you just say that in the United States of America?

01:17:44.000 Like every day, like I said, I feel like I'm being punked.

01:17:48.000 Yeah, Ashton Kutcher's just gonna run around the corner.

01:17:50.000 Yeah, I'm gonna pop out of like a cake and it's like, I'm just kidding, like you're, these people are insane, but it's actually happening. 0.99

01:17:56.000 Those people are domestic terrorists. 0.96

01:17:59.000 Mothers who go and 1.00

01:18:02.000 Go to their PTA meeting to be like, hey man, I don't want you jamming this trans crap down my kids' throats. 1.00

01:18:08.000 Or critical race theory, where the children are bowing to their friends who happen to be African American in class and it's like, wait a minute, no. 1.00

01:18:15.000 You're a domestic terrorist! 0.99

01:18:17.000 The actual domestic terrorist! 0.94

01:18:19.000 They were on our radar, but we're a little too busy to actually watch them or catch them before they drive through a Christmas parade.

01:18:25.000 But because they checked off boxes, even though they were clearly racist and on a lot of extremist boards.

01:18:33.000 They checked those boxes, so... It was a car that drove through a Christmas parade, so we'll investigate the car.

01:18:38.000 Like, not the, like, lunatic racist that... Like, really? 0.98

01:18:44.000 Again, you... It's like we're living in, like, a dystopian, like, reality, and it's actually happening, but what's scarier is, again... Five years ago. 0.58

01:18:56.000 You wouldn't even thought this was possible.

01:18:57.000 No.

01:18:58.000 The acceleration, the exponential growth of that insanity is...

01:19:05.000 Should scare everyone, right?

01:19:06.000 Because like, if this has happened in the last couple years, what's it gonna be like 10 years from now?

01:19:10.000 Yeah.

01:19:11.000 If we don't push back.

01:19:12.000 And again, I think that's why this is such a, you know, public SQ as a way to push back.

01:19:17.000 It is so important.

01:19:19.000 And if we, the longer we wait, the more critical mass that they gain.

01:19:23.000 They get to a point where you get beyond that point of critical mass where there's nothing you can do about it.

01:19:27.000 They control everything.

01:19:28.000 And they're trying to do it.

01:19:29.000 You see what they're doing with housing.

01:19:30.000 All the big banks.

01:19:31.000 They don't want to lend on housing anymore, but they're going to buy it all so they can rent it to you.

01:19:34.000 Because they don't want you independent and free.

01:19:38.000 We were talking yesterday, and you're like, I'm keeping my classic car.

01:19:42.000 They can take anything else.

01:19:43.000 I'm keeping this classic car, because they can't turn it off.

01:19:45.000 I get my own gas.

01:19:46.000 I put it in that classic car.

01:19:47.000 None of this electric car stuff that's autonomous, and they can just, none of that.

01:19:51.000 Well, Michael, I don't like what you said, so we're just going to push the little button, and you can't drive for a month.

01:19:56.000 Yeah.

01:19:56.000 Like, oh yeah, it sounds crazy.

01:19:58.000 Unless you've been watching for the last five years, in which case, it's like, I don't know.

01:20:02.000 That probably would happen.

01:20:03.000 We were just talking before the show, and we were saying, can you ever imagine

01:20:08.000 Me telling you 15 years ago, one day you're going to talk to a swimmer who places second, even though she won, against a man in a collegiate national championship, and then that's going to make national news, and people will actually defend the man for swimming against her.

01:20:24.000 You would have thought we were insane.

01:20:25.000 She's the extremist for being like, hey, this is BS.

01:20:29.000 By the way, I went to Penn, so Leah Thomas, her school,

01:20:36.000 My alma mater.

01:20:37.000 Had that happened when I graduated in 2000, we would have brought kegs to the swim meets to get hammered and laugh our asses off.

01:20:49.000 That would have been the entertainment for the weekend, and yet now you do that.

01:20:52.000 You get thrown out of school for being a radical extremist.

01:20:55.000 But that's exactly my text thread of buddies from college.

01:21:01.000 This is insane!

01:21:02.000 All Penn grads, all Ivy League guys, all successful.

01:21:05.000 It's like... It's crazy.

01:21:08.000 Well, and to your point, you just said earlier...

01:21:12.000 If you don't think that's a reality about the cars and turning off your access and all that, if you don't think that's a reality, wake up and realize that it can be.

01:21:20.000 Because just as 15 years ago you would have thought we were crazy for saying all this would happen like we've described today, the same could be said today.

01:21:28.000 Do not say that it's crazy to think that the government would just turn off your access to your life.

01:21:33.000 They absolutely would if they were given the chance.

01:21:34.000 Think about COVID.

01:21:36.000 They intentionally shut everybody in our houses, removed your access to travel.

01:21:40.000 In LA, where I was living at the time just a few years ago, there was a beach that the guy paddleboarding alone

01:21:48.000 Got hunted down by lifeguards and by coastal patrol for paddleboarding alone during COVID.

01:21:55.000 If you do not think the government would willingly and excitedly shut you down and your access if you keep speaking out against the regime, unfortunately, you have your head in the sand.

01:22:04.000 Now, that doesn't mean you have to be hopeless.

01:22:06.000 We have a really hopeful solution.

01:22:08.000 Companies like Red Balloon, companies like Rumble,

01:22:10.000 Companies like the 50,000 on the app, nearly.

01:22:12.000 I mean, it's so cool to watch this movement rise up.

01:22:16.000 So we do not have to be sitting in despair, but we also have to be awake enough to realize, like, we need to take the power back in the hands of the people, use our purchasing power, our time, our resources to support those that do not want a dystopian future.

01:22:29.000 And that's ultimately the only way forward.

01:22:31.000 Yeah, I mean, we're talking about banks, obviously, a lot.

01:22:34.000 We're good to go.

01:22:54.000 Go on PublicSQ, find the bank that matters.

01:22:56.000 I mean, you know, so, yeah, listen, tell everyone where you can find it.

01:23:00.000 I think everyone understands, but such a big tenant of this show, and again, why I'm on Rumble and not on YouTube, because I'd say one thing and, you know, oh, Don, you're doing great, and gone, like, canceled, like, you know.

01:23:10.000 Exactly right.

01:23:30.000 Social credit score.

01:23:31.000 It's real. 0.52

01:23:32.000 Time to go in the gulags.

01:23:34.000 They would throw us in, in a heartbeat.

01:23:36.000 Well, they've said as much.

01:23:37.000 That's what's scary.

01:23:38.000 They basically, they would do it.

01:23:40.000 It's like, due process?

01:23:41.000 Like, what's that?

01:23:43.000 Again, look at some of the peaceful protesters from January 6th.

01:23:46.000 The people with non-violent offenses.

01:23:47.000 Like, I just got out of jail.

01:23:50.000 I go, for what?

01:23:51.000 They go, January 6th.

01:23:52.000 I was like, were you violent?

01:23:53.000 No.

01:23:54.000 They just could.

01:23:56.000 And they will.

01:23:57.000 So yeah.

01:23:57.000 Well, give everyone just where they can find you guys, how they can help.

01:24:01.000 Because again, so many people are like, what can we do?

01:24:04.000 I mean, this is one of the, as far as I'm concerned, preeminent solutions for what we can do.

01:24:09.000 Well, thanks, Don.

01:24:10.000 This is awesome.

01:24:10.000 Really enjoyed this conversation.

01:24:12.000 I hope that we all feel awakened to what's happening and how insane society is in the corporate world, but also at the same time filled with hope about the future that we actually can create if we move our dollars toward people that don't hate us.

01:24:26.000 Best way you can get started doing that, head to publicsq.com, publicsq.com, or you can download the Public Square app on your App Store or Google Play.
