Hey guys, welcome to another huge episode of Triggered. | |
I hope you're all having a great week, and that some of you are having an awesome time around the 4th of July. | |
You have some good family plans. | |
Try to do your best to keep all of your fingers. | |
I know if you're watching this, you're probably a pyromaniac like me, and we're gonna make sure to try to keep as many digits as possible. | |
Sometimes you may have to sacrifice one for a little bit extra fun, but let's try to avoid all of that. | |
Can't help myself, sorry guys. | |
All kidding aside, today we're sitting down with Breitbart News Editor-in-Chief Alex Marlowe. | |
And if you remember, Alex was on the show months ago talking about his book, Breaking Biden. | |
And during that interview, he basically predicted everything that we're now seeing play out. | |
By the way, you know who else predicted that? | |
Me. | |
In 2020, when I wrote the book, Liberal Privilege, I literally wrote a book about what was gonna happen, the cover-up of Joe Biden, his on- you know, recurring dementia, uh, the two brain aneurysms that literally any doctor imaginable would have told you would have had, a- almost a statistical impossibility that it didn't have major cognitive issues, and of course we've been seeing that. | |
So, you know, | |
Between Alex and I, we've got it covered, but we decided to bring him back to give us the inside scoop on where all of this insanity goes from here. | |
You know, what we're going to be, what we're going to witness, the mental gymnastics of the liberals trying to figure out how to replace Joe Biden while bypassing the first, you know, | |
Female woman of color, vice president, yadda yadda yadda, because you know it's going to be interesting. | |
It's gonna be, it's gonna be fun to watch, but if there's someone who can game the system, if there's someone who can just disregard democracy in their primary, where they gave us one choice from the Democrat side, and they forced us to take it, and all this, and now we're gonna leave it to superdelegates, it's going to be interesting. | |
But if there's someone that can get away with that kind of, uh, | |
Those kinds of shenanigans, it will be the Democrats, because they have the mainstream media doing their bidding for them, they'll have big tech doing the same, and they'll try to make you think that we are living in a great democracy. | |
Now, none of that matters, they don't understand that we actually live in a great republic, but, you know, again. | |
They don't have to worry about the details as much as we do. | |
So make sure you guys are liking, make sure you're sharing, make sure you're subscribing. | |
As we talk about all the time, the rest of big tech is stacked against us, so we have to work harder, better, more efficiently to make sure that we break through all of that noise and actually grow this movement. | |
Remember folks, you can also get | |
Triggered on Spotify. | |
You can get it on Apple Podcasts. | |
So if you missed the show right here on Rumble, if you have friends that get it elsewhere, if you have friends that, you know, perhaps get their podcasts in different areas, let them know. | |
They can check it out there so we can help grow. | |

We've been debanked, we've been all these things. | |
Probably means you'll actually get the real story and not the stuff that the algorithm is force-feeding you on all the biased platforms. | |

Well, guys, joining me now, Breitbart News Editor-in-Chief, author of Breaking Biden, Alex Marlow. | |
Alex, good to have you, buddy. | |
Don, it's great to be back. | |
Always appreciate what you do. | |
Well, likewise. | |
I mean, I think you and I were sort of soothsayers on some of this Biden stuff. | |
I know, obviously, your book, Breaking Biden, we discussed it a couple months when it came out, the insanity. | |
You know, I know I wrote the book, Liberal Privilege, literally during the 2020 campaign. | |
We're all locked down in COVID. | |
I decided to write a book about it, talking about Joe Biden's cognitive decline. | |
And apparently I was all conspiratorial for saying, | |
Such things like two brain aneurysms, like the two brain aneurysms that Joe Biden had, the explosions within his brain that basically any doctor I spoke to said there was almost a statistical impossibility to not have serious long-term cognitive decline issues because of it. | |
Shocked that I, I'm shocked that we both turned out to be 100% right and everyone will still go to bat covering it up. | |
But, you know, what have you found sort of the craziest about sort of the mental gymnastics we're seeing from the left today? | |
Yeah, well, what's fascinating to me right now is that I wrote in Breaking Biden, which came out last October, and, you know, I probably wrote the introduction maybe, you know, a year before that. | |
I wrote basically, no matter what, they're going to stick with him. | |
And how badly is that theory getting tested right now? | |
Because you would think he has to go, but he really can't. | |
They really don't have a lot of moves to remove him because, first of all, | |
You know, it starts with he's got to be willing to do it, and there's nothing in his character to suggest that he will. | |
And second of all, it's such a murky, messy path to get rid of him. | |
But all of these people who, after the debate night, were acting as though, oh, well, now we've seen too much. | |
What are you guys talking about? | |
He's always been this way. | |
And all of you are going to say that. | |
At least start the sentence with, I'm an idiot, but... | |
Or, I should have said this a year ago, but. | |
Or, I should have said this 50 years ago, but. | |
They just roll into, oh well, now he's too old, now he's too crazy. | |
It's unbelievable to watch them. | |
They have no sense of self that they can do that. | |
Yeah, I want to just replay the Joe Scarborough clip from two weeks ago. | |
Like, this is the best we've ever seen Biden. | |
This is the best version of Joe Biden, literally in 50 years. | |
I'm like, I don't know, man. | |
Maybe I'm wrong, but I don't think so. | |
But, you know, why don't you get into the details of that a little bit. | |
You know, people, you know, we hear, oh, well, they could just replace him. | |
It's not that simple. | |
You know, these people, you know, they preach about democracy a lot, but they gave the American public, or at least American Democrats, they gave them one choice to vote for the guy in charge. | |
They threw others off the ticket or made it impossible for them to get on there. | |
And now, you know, there's talk about trying to replace him at a convention where 30, you know, to 130 elite Democrats of the party get to decide bypassing the American public and everyone else. | |
You know, talk about the details of that, because, you know, there's obviously, you know, the money that they've raised so far. | |
That's a Biden-Harris campaign. | |
Talk about the mental gymnastics, how they get around, you know, bypassing Kamala Harris, the first African-American woman of color with Asian descent. | |
You know, check, check, check, check. | |
You know, the boxes that are checked, how do they bypass that for an old white guy or an old white woman? | |
If it's great, you're Whitmer. | |
You know, there's just so much detail and, you know, some of it seems simple, but it's actually much more complicated before you even get into sort of the PR angles of that and sort of the contrary messaging to everything they sort of laugh about, but they talk about seriously. | |
Well, the mechanics of it are incredibly complicated. | |
I'll tell you, Don, when I knew I was going to be on with you, I made sure to try to do a crash course and make sure that I understand exactly the mechanics. | |
And I couldn't 100% figure it out. | |
That's how complicated it is. | |
The only easy method | |
Is if somehow Joe Biden is no longer on the ticket because he voluntarily moves aside or is removed by the 25th Amendment or for health reasons where he is declared either by his cabinet. | |
But even the 25th Amendment, remember two-thirds of the Congress, if Joe objects, two-thirds of the Congress have to agree with the cabinet that he's incapacitated. | |
And that means some Republicans are going to have to go along and a lot of Republicans are going to think, wait a minute, | |
This is the worst candidate we've ever seen. | |
We're not going to let him just move off the ticket right before the election. | |
They're going to declare him competent whether he's competent or not. | |
Exactly. | |
What if I was them? | |
I'm not saying that removing Joe might not be better for the Republicans, but you would never mess around with this. | |
The scenario is just too good for the Republicans. | |
You got to take it as is. | |
It's too good. | |
You would never roll the dice. | |
You'd never double down on the scenario. | |
So then what do you do? | |
What are the options? | |
Well, first of all, it depends on Joe voluntarily stepping aside, and he's not going to do that. | |
But let's say he did. | |
Then who's up next? | |
The only thing that's at all neat and tidy would be Kamala. | |
But I see no evidence that Joe wants to pass his legacy on to Kamala Harris and make her be the | |
We're good to go. | |
Maybe we jumped the shark on this one a little bit, so they don't want to, it's clear they don't want to give it to her. | |
They almost rather run with Biden, and I almost rather run against her, even if he's incapacitated, only because, again, we're not living in a fair world, right? | |
Yeah, there's polling data to back up your point. | |
I mean, the polling data suggests that Trump's actually even a little bit stronger against her than against Joe. | |
And it was interesting when I did a lot of research on Kamala because as a bit of a hedge when I was writing Breaking Biden, just in case he was going to step aside, which I didn't think he would, but just in case. | |
And I'll tell you, I think one of the other conclusions I drew, other than the fact that she's obviously a half black, half | |
Asian woman, you know, hits all those woke boxes. | |
She's all the woke points in the world. | |
She's beloved in Silicon Valley, Hollywood as well, but Silicon Valley, and that's a big deal. | |
So, and if you look at who's come out and suggested from the tech elite who, whether or not Joe should step aside, one name that came up that seemed like would like Joe step aside is Lorene Powell Jobs, who's one of the stars of my first book, Breaking the News, who owns the Atlantic. | |
She owns a bunch of other stuff. | |
But she's bestie friends with Kamala Harris. | |
So it's the big tech person who wants Joe to get out is the one who's best friends with the person who would be the one who would take over. | |
So there's no groundswell of people to remove Joe for Kamala and for good reason. | |
Because she would probably fare just as bad, if not worse. | |
But if she's the person, at least it appears | |
She can get all the money, so she can get the campaign accounts and the delegates could probably pretty seamlessly move over to her. | |
But, again, there's got to be a lot of buy-in. | |
A lot of people have got to buy-in into this scenario. | |
So, | |
But if there isn't that level of buy-in, then things are completely crazy. | |
Because there's no evidence that I can suggest that the campaign account is just going to get transferred over. | |
So that means all the money Joe's raised, and he's raised huge amounts of money, not as much as Trump I don't think at this point, but he's raised huge amounts of money, he's raised huge money since his horrible debate. | |
So that money's got, where's it going to go? | |
No one knows where that would go. | |
And you get all these delegates. | |
These are hardcore leftists, the people who are the beating heart of the Democrat Party. | |
These people are super far-left fringe radicals, people who wear the crazy hats of the convention. | |
They're going to have to sign off on whoever is being forced upon them. | |
Of course it's not democratic. | |
They're not all going to go along with it. | |
They're not all going to go for cis-hetero white males doing an end run around Kamala Harris. | |
It is going to be total chaos and a fool's errand, to be honest with you. | |
Yeah, I mean, it seems interesting, right? | |
We talk about Joe has to sort of voluntarily step aside. | |
I think he could actually be fairly easily convinced of that, but I think it's Jill Biden at this point. | |
You know, she's on the cover of Vogue yet again. | |
Yeah. | |
You know, honestly, it was a sad moment watching sort of the post-debate show. | |
They bring him out to do this, you know, thing, and he sort of, you know, stumbles on stage, just, you know, thousand-yard stare. | |
He has no idea, and she's talking to him, | |
Joe, you did, you answered all of the questions, like, you had a fact in there. | |
You had all the facts. | |
It reminds me, like, I have young children and I haven't spoken to my children that way since they were, like, early toddler. | |
Like, maybe, you know, five years old, four years old. | |
It was like, hey, you did good, like, we're gonna take you to get ice cream now. | |
You just gotta pretend to be alive for a couple more minutes. | |
Like, it legitimately feels... I'll have to cut in that clip, but like, it literally is like someone talking to a child who, you know, | |
Got a question right about, you know, what's 1 plus 1? | |
And the whole crowd is doing this. | |
How long has that been going on? | |
And, you know, are there forces other than her? | |
You know, she likes the limelight. | |
She clearly feels like she's running the shadow government. | |
And, you know, and Joe's been good for the radical leftist cause because he'll sign everything because they don't care about preserving his legacy. | |
So, you know, it's sort of an interesting dichotomy there. | |
I think the radicals of the party probably don't mind him staying because, you know, the Obamas of the world who would love to have implemented that sort of radical agenda would never have signed their name to it even if they liked the policy. | |
Yeah, I'm always reminded when I see that stuff that Whoopi Goldberg suggested that Jill Biden become the Surgeon General. | |
Yeah. | |
Dr. Jill. | |
Relax, Alex. | |
We must call her Dr. Jill. | |
She's got a doctorate from a cereal box in education, but yeah, she'd be the Surgeon General. | |
It's amazing stuff. | |
She got an Ed.D., not even a PhD, an Ed.D. | |
in her 50s, but she should be the Surgeon General, according to the ladies of The View. | |
No, I can't believe she lets him do that. | |
She's a very cruel person. | |
And the narrative about her, there's a lot of media narratives in the last week or so since the debate that I've agreed with, a lot I've disagreed with. | |
But one that I really think is important, that people have really latched on to what a cruel person she is and what a self-serving individual. | |
Because there's clearly that she is part of the group that is continuing to push Joe out there because she's a younger person, she's addicted to the power, and she doesn't want to lose that. | |
It all goes away. | |
Like, she wants four more years of having her ass kissed on a world stage, Air Force One, Marine One, weekends at Camp David. | |
I mean, you know, they locked him up for a week to do preparation. | |
Like, my dad's preparation was like, he had a couple Diet Cokes and spoke to some people on the campaign. | |
Like, you know, he had a week of, you know, intensive preparation at Camp David. | |
Meanwhile, you know, like his vacations, who's running the country? | |
Who cares? | |
It doesn't matter. | |
You know, it never ends, but it does feel like she's sort of | |
You know, the one grasping at maintaining power, probably far more than him, because as we witnessed, I mean, you know, I know they say, you know, he's very lucid between the hours of 10 a.m. | |
and 4 p.m., but, you know, the other 18 hours of the day, apparently you don't have to be on as President of the United States, the leader of the free world, that's... | |
That's scary stuff. | |
25% ain't going to cut it in that job. | |
Don, I don't mean to hijack your own show, but can I ask you, are the rumors true that President Trump only prepped with Diet Coke and just kind of winged it? | |
Pretty much. | |
He'll talk to some people. | |
He does his polling. | |
He hears where the people are. | |
He does it at rallies. | |
He listens to the applause. | |
The things that matter. | |
He's like, that one matters. | |
Okay. | |
I'm going to hit that a little bit. | |
I mean, I am sure he spoke to some people, but it was probably like, you know, probably a Diet Coke and like a comic, the insult dog, like joke book just in case. | |
But I actually thought it was interesting with the debate. | |
I was like, I hate this format. | |
Cause I love, you know, I love sort of the 16 debates where he could one line Hillary to death and | |
But I was like, it actually kept them pretty disciplined. | |
And I was like, you know what? | |
We probably need that right now in the world that he's a felon, he's out of control. | |
I mean, we signed, you know, peace deals in the Middle East, but you know, apparently we're the ones going to be bringing wars, even if that happened under Joe Biden. | |
It's, it's sort of nuts. | |
So I'll tell you that my wife, who's an actual medical doctor, so a little more prestigious than a Dr. Jill's degree. | |
When I told her that the rumors are that Trump didn't prepare at all, she looked at me and just said, that is badass. | |
And I just thought that was, that was | |
That was so awesome because she's the most academic person I know and she's like oh man that is so cool that he just rolled out there and just did what he did which was which is unbelievable but but I do want to make a point about Dr. Jill because I can't get I can't lose track of this because there's not that much has been written about her but one thing that's always struck me that was incredibly cruel of her is you'll remember probably back at Christmas 2021 | |
Where she was hanging all the stockings for all the Biden grandchildren. | |
Because remember, the thing that Joe Biden is better than anything else is grandfather. | |
That's what we've been told all this time. | |
But she didn't hang one for Navy Joe. | |
So 27-year-old Naomi, she got a stocking. | |
But Navy Joan didn't get one because the whole family was acting like she didn't exist. | |
That shows you the cruelness of this woman, that she couldn't stand up to Joe, that, hey, Joe, can we be decent here for one second and hang the stocking of this family member? | |
We can't just act like they don't exist. | |
But she went right along with it for the cameras, for the media. | |
And then Joe goes out there saying there's no such thing as someone else's child. | |
These people are completely full of crap. | |
They're all dishonest and they're all cruel. | |
Yeah, no, I think maybe Hunter, I believe, called Dr. Jill something in one of his text messages, and I imagine, I think he probably actually nailed it. | |
I don't know that he's gotten a lot right, but it seems like- See you next Tuesday. | |
Yeah, exactly. | |
He called her that. | |
But again, she's on the cover of Vogue again, because she's incredibly stylish. | |
She loves it. | |
Beautiful. | |
It's all a big, made-up, phony thing. | |
It's a house of cards, isn't it? | |
Yeah, so the New York Times is reporting that Hunter is pressuring Joe to stay in also. | |
He has his own legal things to worry about. | |
I can't imagine why. | |
It could be a pardon in his future if Joe sticks it out. | |
But honestly, from what I understand from my intensive research on the Bidens, is that Biden's family is his main cabinet. | |
He doesn't care about the New York Times editorial page. | |
He's hated the media since 1974 when he felt like he was taken out of context in the light of the death of his first wife and his daughter. | |
You mean the lie that he repeated over and over again to try to make it true that they didn't entirely buy? | |
Oh, well, he lied top to bottom about that story for decades, but he felt like he got hosed by the media in the 70s, and he never forgave them. | |
So, he's never liked the media. | |
He's not reading the New York Times editorial page and looking for their opinion. | |
He goes to his family, and if Jill's saying stick it out, if Hunter's saying stick it out, he 100% believes Hunter Biden is the smartest guy he knows. | |
That's not just something nice he's saying to his son. | |
He genuinely believes that. | |
So, if these people are saying to him, Dad, you gotta do it, you gotta stick in it, then you can bet he is taking that dead seriously. | |
So, you know, we touched on it a little bit when we started talking, but, I mean, do you think liberals are, honestly, at this point, do you think they're genuinely surprised that Joe Biden is senile? | |
I mean, it seems like the New York Times literally believe their own nonsense about it. | |
Like I said, you know, people who do that day in and day out. | |
I wrote a book because I was bored during COVID, and I figured out the brain aneurysm thing. | |
You know, it didn't take much to take a speech. | |
You know, I mean, hey, I'll give him this. | |
I mean, what was it, 2012? | |
I mean, he, | |
Dismantled Paul Ryan, who was the Speaker of the House. | |
He just absolutely crushed him in a debate. | |
Now, that shouldn't surprise, I mean, Paul Ryan, you know, I wouldn't say that Paul Ryan's particularly bright or, you know, particularly good at anything, but like, you know, Joe just dismantled the guy and you look at him, you know, in 2020, you look at him giving speeches, you look at him, like, they ain't the same person. | |
You know, you could say what you want. | |
This was a very clear, very sort of, and now, I mean, the curve has dropped off the cliff entirely in terms of how quickly he's devolving. | |
But, are they surprised themselves, or were they just happy living in the cover-up? | |
Yeah, it's interesting to think that because I've asked this question to myself a little bit because I've watched everything that Joe's done over the last 15 years and I feel like I have got a sense of his patterns. | |
And they're normally able to get him jacked up enough to deliver on these occasions. | |
This was different, this debate, because he's been able to rally at these other debates. | |
Remember, he did better against President Trump in 2020 than Hillary Clinton did in 2016. | |
President Trump kicked Hillary's butt with Joe Biden, at least it was sort of, it was much more neutral. | |
I mean, it was more debatable who got the better of the other guy, some of its format, etc. | |
But it was a lot closer with Biden than it was with Hillary. | |
So, and his State of the Unions are typically fine. | |
I mean, they're not the showmanship and statecraft and stagecraft that Trump can pull off, but it is, I mean, it was adequate, his State of the Unions. | |
But this one was interesting. | |
This last one was just angry. | |
And I mean, and again, | |
But he does that, yell, whisper, yell, whisper, yell, whisper. | |
That's his move. | |
I mean, it's just really just sort of like high school debate level. | |
So you actually think that's more than the guys that are saying, hey, these are signs of dementia, that sort of uncontrollable anger and all of that. | |
Yeah, it's just a move. | |
And by the way, and that's fine. | |
Like, I think there's plenty of other markers for dementia. | |
And I don't want to be one of the sort of, you know, telepsychologists who's predicting, you know, like they would if it was Trump, they'd be doing it anyway. | |
But like, | |
Right. | |
With Biden, it's like, no, no, I don't have to look to that. | |
I just have to look to literally everything. | |
You know, the eyes were wide open, dilated like they were, you know, the only times I've seen eyes more dilated than that is the pictures on Hunter Biden's laptop. | |
Yeah, he's on something. | |
No, sure, but he did look like he had really deteriorated. | |
And I'll say this as someone who's been cautioning people on the right not to rest on our laurels, not to take things for granted. | |
Know that if Karl Marx was on the ticket, still 40% of people are going to vote for Democrats for some reason in this country. | |
They have to understand that we've got to fight | |
With the very last drop of energy we've got, it's very hard not to look at him at that debate and not think that something had changed. | |
But I want to be specific here, Don. | |
It was really the first 20 minutes of the debate and his closing remarks where he couldn't spit out prepared remarks. | |
So if you had somehow missed those, if you tuned in in the middle, it would have looked just like typical Joe Biden, I think, to most people. | |
He doesn't have the body language and the posture as Donald Trump. | |
He doesn't have the one-liners. | |
He doesn't have a fastball. | |
I mean, he doesn't have a curveball. | |
He doesn't have any. | |
He doesn't have a change-up. | |
He doesn't have anything anymore. | |
But it is really stark, I think, for people who had seen him get up for these events, to see those first 20 minutes where he's repeatedly getting lost, he's freezing up, or to watch that closing remark. | |
And I've talked to a lot of people who said, this is just Joe Biden, I'm not that surprised. | |
But for me, I was a little bit because they normally jack him up and they couldn't do it this time. | |
They couldn't get him jacked up enough for it. | |
Yeah, no, that was interesting. | |
And, you know, listen, honestly, I'll call balls and strikes. | |
Considering it was CNN, considering it's Jake Tapper and Dana Bash, you know, they compared Trump to Nazis, I mean, and Hitler, you know, in the past, I was like, they actually did a fairly decent job, though it does feel like they saved him a couple times. | |
It was Dana doing the finger thing, like, no, look that way, because that's the guy you're talking to. | |
It was, you know, they both, you know, sort of, you know, he got 40 seconds into a two-minute answer, and basically, you could see he was petering out, so they just sort of, | |
Okay, Mr. Trump. | |
They saved him a little bit. | |
But they saved him a couple times, but generally, I thought the format was fairly good in that it actually kept my father—he wasn't sitting there playing to a crowd. | |
He wasn't sitting there sort of undisciplined looking for that one liner because the mic wasn't going to be on. | |
It actually kept them kind of on the fact side, although I did take some umbrage in the way they're fact-checking it now. | |
Trump lied 30 times. | |
I'm like, well, what about Joe Biden? | |
I could see some nuance on some of the things that they would say about Trump, but Joe had major outright lies in there, and I've not seen one sort of mainstream fact check of the BS that he was selling us. | |
I mean, you know, he talked about, we lowered the price of insulin. | |
I'm like, no, no, no. | |
Trump lowered the price of insulin. | |
You then disbanded that and then added it back in a couple months later and took credit for it. | |
Like, that's not the same. | |
Like, that's a little different. | |
Just like they didn't talk about | |
Well, you added these many jobs. | |
I'm like, no. | |
You forced people to stay home after COVID. | |
They went back to work. | |
Like, you don't get credit for creating a job. | |
Like, stop. | |
You know, there's so many responses. | |
First of all, the fact that Joe Biden said that women are getting raped by their sisters. | |
I mean, are we not done here? | |
Seems like a big one. | |
The media will find one case where it happened. | |
They'll be like, no, he's right. | |
Clearly this is happening. | |
It's not going to lead to any abortions afterward, though. | |
That is a guarantee. | |
There's no sister raping sister that's going to lead to an abortion. | |
That's not going to happen. | |
So he did say that once, it was kind of a lie of the night. | |
But this is one thing that we do at Breitbart, which is the media just opened up this space for us and we consistently chart either number one or number two. | |
The other big outlet is Fox in terms of social media traffic on the night of these big events. | |
No one else can, all the rest of the mainstream left combined doesn't equal to what we do. | |
And part of it is because we'll fact check | |
The Democrats. | |
They don't even try. | |
They just give us this whole space where we can fact check all these lies. | |
Joe Biden is a serial liar. | |
Let me explain to anyone in the audience who doesn't understand what President Trump was doing with the golf handicap stuff. | |
If you're willing to lie about your golf scores, you're willing to lie about everything, | |
That's why Trump was hammering that. | |
That's why he was showing the world that Joe Biden, who could not break 120, acting like he can shoot in the 70s and telling that to the public is insane. | |
And that's what Trump was doing. | |
It's not true. | |
You can't do that, Joe. | |
And that shows a signal. | |
Everyone thinks Joe's such a decent guy, such an honest guy. | |
He is indecent and he is dishonest. | |
It's fundamental about his character. | |
And I think that President Trump really did a good job revealing that to the public. | |
If the fact checkers won't do it, Trump did. | |
Oh, by the way, I saw that. | |
I'm sort of laughing. | |
I mean, the bar stool guy's like, ah, it got sort of funny that two, you know, two guys, you know, complaining about their golf scores. | |
But like, yeah, I literally, I got online. | |
I'm like, it sounded like Joe agreed to that match. | |
Like, I will make, let's make it happen. | |
He can choose the course. | |
He can choose a caddy. | |
He can have whatever he wants. | |
I will put anything, like my entire life savings, I will put on the line 100% for Trump. | |
Let's just, let's make this happen. | |
And I thought that Joe Biden agreed to it. | |
So I think, | |
We should make this happen, because I've seen a couple of those videos. | |
It's, you know, Joe Biden hits the ball. | |
It manages to go backwards. | |
You know, you can say many things about Trump, but he's a good golfer. | |
And Don, you know this, that a real golfer, we don't want our handicaps to go down. | |
We lose money when they go down. | |
We like them when they go up. | |
Joe, you're playing at a six. | |
Congratulations. | |
Like, it's fine. | |
I want to play that match with Joe. | |
I'm going to beat him by, I'm going to take all his money. | |
I don't even play golf and I'd beat that. | |
By the way, I don't even play golf. | |
I will challenge him to that and I will win. | |
Exactly! | |
And so that's why he's just, he's so full of crap all the time. | |
And I hope the public is starting to understand this because people falling back, I couldn't believe watching Van Jones on CNN, just sniveling. | |
I love this man. | |
I love Joe Biden. | |
What's there to love about Joe Biden? | |
Joe Biden is the familiar face of a corrupt government that's losing its way. | |
That is all he is. | |
There's nothing else he offers. | |
He has no particular set of skills. | |
He has no particular set of accomplishments. | |
He's the guy who invented the law fair that is ripping us apart. | |
With the borking of Bork and the high-tech lynching of Clarence Thomas. | |
That was all him. | |
He started it. | |
He's got a horrible record. | |
He's a nasty man. | |
It's time for him to go. | |
Why are people so all of a sudden shocked by this? | |
This guy has been terrible for so long and finally it felt like people just started to wake up last week. | |
Yeah, so how have they been able to pull that off? | |
How do they get the— Joe Biden's this great, decent man. | |
Like, he's never— I mean, the whole family's been corrupt. | |
They've profiteered off of this. | |
They've never actually worked in the private sector. | |
It's all been, you know, all of his thing. | |
You know, he plays the— you know, I know part of the drinking game was every time Joe mentioned Scranton. | |
Like, I've spent more time in, like, Northwest PA— or Northeast PA, you know, than Joe Biden, because I went to boarding school there. | |
Like, it's like— | |
It doesn't, and in college, it doesn't mean it. | |
He left at nine, yet he goes back to, how has he been able to pull that off? | |
Because there's no clear examples of him actually being a decent man. | |
You look at his commentary, you look at all his policies, you look at the corruption, you look at just the, where there's smoke, there's fire. | |
How have they been able to get away with this for that long? | |
Because I don't think anyone else has ever been able to pull that off in the history of politics, let alone just Democrat or Republican. | |
It's amazing. | |
And I think what he does effectively is he gives various groups of people what they want, and so they don't cross him that much. | |
I went to a black church growing up. | |
My son died in Iraq. | |
It never ends. | |
I guess he tells people what may be played to the crowd, and it's worked long enough. | |
That's it. | |
He tells people what they want to hear, and he's very good at motivating these bases. | |
That's why he lets the men with the fake breasts flash at the White House. | |
That's why he puts the trans groomer flag in the middle of the American flag at the White House. | |
He knows how to pander. | |
Watch this week. | |
He's going to announce more amnesties. | |
He's going to announce more student loan forgiveness. | |
That's what he's going to do. | |
He's going to keep throwing bones to the various bases in the Democrat power structure. | |
He's always done this when his back's against the wall. | |
He has a very solid approach that the right should emulate. | |
He doesn't see any bad voters. | |
He tries to pick up voters however he can by giving them what they want to move them into his camp and so that he doesn't make enemies on his side. | |
He's done this very effectively and he's figured this out over a long period of time. | |
I don't think he's a genius for figuring it out, but the Republicans get undisciplined. | |
We throw ourselves under the bus, we fight amongst ourselves too much, we announce other people are the problem. | |
I mean, look at the reactions to | |
Anytime President Trump said one thing that the media took out of context. | |
We'd lose another Republican, another Republican, another Republican. | |
All the stuff the left never does, that's Joe Biden. | |
They always hung with him and he figured that out and he's rode that to where he is today. | |
I mean, I guess in 2020, they pitched, you know, Biden, AIDS said that, you know, he was going to serve as a one-term president just to get things back on track. | |
Why do you think they backtracked on that promise? | |
Or do you think this just sort of goes back to the, you know, Dr. Jill wants to have the power and doesn't want to give up her motorcade? | |
This is a fundamental question that you're asking and it's very relevant for why I don't believe Joe's gonna stand aside. | |
Joe is, aside from his family, the thing that obsesses him the most is legacy. | |
He's wanted to be president since he was a little boy. | |
You remember he ran for his first time almost 40 years ago. | |
It was the first time he ran for president in 1988. | |
And so he has always wanted this and now he's in it. | |
And his intention was to pass that legacy on to a worthy successor. | |
In his mind, it was Beau Biden who passed away of cancer. | |
I guess it was, you know, eight, nine years ago. | |
And so that was his intention. | |
So his legacy would have been preserved. | |
He doesn't just see himself as president. | |
He sees himself as a historical figure. | |
And to be honest with you, he kind of is. | |
I mean, 50 years in Washington, vice president. | |
I mean, he's not a good one in my view, but he certainly... It's not a legacy you necessarily want, but it's one for the books. | |
Is one for the books, exactly right. | |
And so is he going to go out as an embarrassing footnote? | |
He was the guy who was so bad at debating that Donald Trump had humiliated him off the stage and he had to quit. | |
He had to take his ball and go home because he was getting so embarrassed. | |
Does he want that to be his legacy? | |
Because that's what it will be if he stood aside. | |
So until someone presents him or herself | |
As being able to have a path to save Joe's dignity and legacy so that Joe could have a dignified rest of his life and historical context, then I think he would be open-minded to it, probably, because I don't think he's that dumb to not consider it. | |
The problem is, who is that person? | |
It's not Kamala Harris. | |
It's probably not Michelle Obama. | |
Certainly not Gavin Newsom. | |
I mean, they have no connection at all. | |
Who's the person who's going to do that for Joe? | |
And the answer is no one. | |
And that's why I don't think he's going anywhere, because he's got no path. | |
He's got no one to pass it off to. | |
So this strikes home perhaps a little bit closer to Breitbart, but our friend Steve Bannon reported to prison this week. | |
Obviously, you used to work with Steve at Breitbart. | |
I worked with him on the 16 campaign. | |
I'm a regular on his show. | |
We talk a lot. | |
What do you make of the Biden-DOJ locking up one of the most successful conservative journalists out there, someone who's speaking to the base? | |
Obviously, they're trying to go after Trump, but it seems like they're spreading that umbrella pretty wide, especially it's something as sort of | |
You know, frankly, nonsense as that. | |
Isn't that basically the move of dictators? | |
The people, again, preaching about democracy and screaming that everyone else is a fascist sort of sound like the fascists. | |
Yeah, well, this obviously is a total injustice, and it's a product of truly an evil pursuit by an unjust government. | |
I mean, that's what has gone on here. | |
The J6 committee should have been illegal. | |
It needed to have minority members, and that never happened. | |
Everything it did from day one is illegal. | |
It was not a valid subpoena that Bannon was supposed to comply with, and Bannon should not, under any circumstances, have had to abide by it. | |
I'm not a lawyer, so I say that with a caveat, but from everything I'm to understand, this is all fundamentally a witch hunt and it should be illegal. | |
Now, if I was Steve, I don't know. | |
He tested this legal theory that, you know, executive privilege could be extended to him | |
And I don't know what to think of that strategy, but I will tell you that Steve has achieved immortality with this by giving the middle finger to people who deserve it. | |
He dared them to drop the hammer on him, knowing that if they did, he would be a martyr for all of history, which he is. | |
But that said, it's all unjust. | |
You shouldn't be going to prison. | |
It's all a witch hunt. | |
And all of these people who are responsible for this, we need to come after them once President Trump wins. | |
They're all pursuing people who are in pursuit of their First Amendment rights to speak out. | |
And that is under assault in this country. | |
And pursuing Steve the way they did, I think, is a fundamental violation of civil rights. | |
And all those held accountable should be looked into immediately once President Trump is in. | |
I think without question. | |
I mean, I went and visited Pierre Navarro, who basically did the same thing, too. | |
He's been serving a four-month sentence. | |
He's getting out next week, right before the convention. | |
But balance this out. | |
Taking a guy like Bannon off the chessboard for four months. | |
Now, he's not entirely off the chessboard, because I think the outrage that travels with that probably, you know, counterbalances some of that. | |
But what do you think? | |
Does that outrage, does taking him off the chessboard, does it help their cause, or does it just highlight to people how far we've fallen and maybe we're in trouble? | |
You know, what do you think? | |
Because I imagine theirs is to try to, again, silence as many voices as possible in the coming months. | |
But does this just make him louder, even if he's not able to be on the air? | |
Now, Don, I don't want to flatter you too much, but you're getting good at this because you're asking the questions that are the hardest to answer because I was 100% in the camp that the martyring of Steve is more powerful than anything he could do in the next four months. | |
I was there. | |
Putting him in jail is so symbolic. | |
It's going to be such a way to ignite the base, going to be such a catalyst for the base. | |
His audience is so loyal and dedicated that it's going to be a win. | |
I think so. | |
I think it's going to be missed. | |
So, I think I've come a little bit slightly to the side. | |
This is a big shame that this is happening, but I could very easily be convinced to go back to this is all good, stay the course, and he'll be out in four months stronger than ever. | |
Yeah, I'm sort of torn on it myself. | |
When the news first broke a couple months ago, I was like, hey, the only person happier about this than the Democrats is probably Steve himself, right? | |
I was like, he's loving every second of this. | |
And now I'm like, yeah. | |
Once it becomes real, | |
Yeah, and I know they wanted to jail me as well, and they're certainly trying to still jail my father, and they'll probably come up with an excuse to try to jail me again sometime in the not-too-distant future one way or the other, but yeah, I'm not sure. | |
I just hope it's a wake-up call to those to understand that, but I also hope it's a wake-up call to those who do have a voice, who do utilize it, who do have a platform | |
To also not back down, because, I mean, that's clearly what some of this is. | |
I mean, going after my father isn't just a signal to my father or our family, it's a signal to anyone else who would come in from outside of the swamp. | |
Anyone else who's an outsider. | |
Say, hey, don't do this. | |
It's not going to be easy. | |
We're not, you know, someone who should be making trillion dollar decisions because they've done more than simply be a bureaucrat, unlike so many of those in D.C. | |
Right. | |
They don't want him, them, you know, ever in the game. | |
And I think a big part of this is all signaling to them, we're not going to make this easy for you to get in there. | |
You're better off, you know, enjoy your life, make your billions, run a good business. | |
Don't run our country, even if you do a much better job than us, because we've clearly failed. | |
But we want to maintain our power at all costs. | |
Yeah, and that is what you got to grapple with here, is that if you're someone who's watching the show who might not agree with everything that Breitbart puts out or that Don stands for, but you're just trying to check out what we're talking about today, please understand this, that the J6 committee was illegitimate. | |
This subpoena that he was supposed to comply with was illegitimate. | |
That is political imprisonment. | |
He is a political prisoner of this regime, the Biden administration. | |
And I don't consider that just a personal opinion. | |
That seems to be the way the facts line up, and I find that to be very hard to dispute unless you're a hardcore partisan. | |
Peter Navarro's case is still under appeal, but they made him serve the prison sentence. | |
You know, he's under appeal to the Supreme Court. | |
It's like, well, yeah, that's great. | |
Like, we may exonerate you later, but in the meantime, you're going to do four months. | |
We're going to take you off the chessboard. | |
That's the big thing. | |
They're not waiting until the end. | |
They could very easily let it play out, and then if he's guilty, then so be it. | |
It still doesn't mean I think it's fair. | |
It's just like the D.C. | |
jury gets to decide. | |
I want to hear your thoughts on the Supreme Court ruling this week. | |
It's still very biased, but that to me | |
Really reeks of it. | |
Like, you're not going to let the appeals process play out before you put someone in jail. | |
So they could be 100% exonerated by the highest court in the land in time, but it doesn't matter because they're not getting that four months of their life back. | |
Yeah, you're exactly right on this, and there's four crucial months for a guy like Steve, who this is what he lives for, is these moments, and to take him off the playing field. | |
So just note this, that we regard this as a complete political witch hunt, and so then when we start looking at Alvin Bragg, and Judge Marchand, and Fonny Willis, and Nathan Wade, | |
And Matthew Colangelo, and Lisa Monaco, and Vanita Gupta, and Kristen Clark, and all those people. | |
We started turning over every single thing that they've ever done to see what's under the hood. | |
Just know this is why. | |
This is why we're doing that. | |
Because you guys started it. | |
Because you guys said that this is very important to you to jail people with whom you differ. | |
Because you had to take advantage politically of January the 6th. | |
That's all that happened here. | |
And now, unlike you guys, we're not going to jail people who are innocent. | |
But I'll tell you, we got to look into them now. | |
Now we got to do it. | |
We got to make sure of everything they did. | |
And I think what all of those people I just listed did was fundamentally violate civil rights of Americans. | |
And that's not okay in this country. | |
At least it wasn't until the last few months. | |
Correct. | |
And listen, I've been the, you know, fight fire with fire guy for forever. | |
And yet, you know, when you hear my father talk about it, he's like, nah, you know, my only revenge is going to be success. | |
You know, for the country, I'm like, man, you know, I feel like I don't want to take the high road for him, but I think he's genuinely going to do that. | |
Just like, you know, I know he's the insurrectionist. | |
He's going to try to hold on to power forever, according to the left and all these things. | |
And yet, how do I know that didn't happen? | |
Because he didn't actually try to do that in 20. | |
He left on January 20th. | |
He left the White House. | |
He flew down to Florida. | |
That was it. | |
But there's a path for him to not have to be totally involved. | |
He imports the right people. | |
I mean, think about this. | |
Merrick Garland, for example, I don't know if he's in on the conspiracy. | |
I really don't. | |
I know he hasn't stopped it. | |
Joe Biden, I bet, isn't in on the conspiracy, but I bet he just hasn't stopped it either. | |
He could stop all of it. | |
He could stop it. | |
Any minute, he could stop it. | |
But he just | |
Doesn't deal with it. | |
And I think that that's an approach where there's now precedent for that as well. | |
So there's lots of people who are going to make up Trump's next administration, and some of them are going to want to look into these people. | |
And again, we have to have a 100% track record on this. | |
We cannot try to jail anyone for anything that is not illegal. | |
But if we determine that stuff is illegal and the court of law agrees, then that needs to be under serious consideration because there's no way that these people can all get away with this. | |
Yeah. | |
No, I agree with that. | |
You said something interesting earlier that I sort of want to come back on. | |
You said that if Karl Marx were on the ballot today, 40% of the country would vote for him. | |
I mean, you grew up in LA. | |
You went to Harvard Westlake High School. | |
Can you take us inside | |
That worldview. | |
What drives these people just to reflexively vote Democrat no matter what? | |
Like I said, for me, I always say, I was like, hey man, I wish Joe Biden did a great job because it'd be so much easier for me to not have to do this. | |
I could go back to building buildings, I'll get invited to, you know, the cool person parties again, like, and yet we don't have a choice because I can't find a single | |
Metric, a single example of success here. | |
So that means we have to do it, but how can they just keep doing this over and over again? | |
You know, I know, you know, socialism's never really been tried. | |
You know, communism, it's never really been tried. | |
I mean, you know, these things have been said for, you know, a century now plus. | |
Still continues to just, you know, lead the world in death and carnage. | |
And yet, you know, it hasn't really been tried right. | |
What happened? | |
How is that possible at this point? | |
Yeah, so I think a lot of people on the left in particular, because they don't have a lot of faith, they look at politics above all else. | |
They see, for us, we on the right, some of us are purely political beasts. | |
I'm not saying that there aren't some of us, but a lot of us, you know, my number one concern is my family, and then | |
You know, political stuff. | |
I go to church. | |
There's a lot of people in my life who their church is, that's number one. | |
God is number one, always. | |
Our priority list is probably going to be, you know, God, family, then politics. | |
Like, it's not with the left, it's politics. | |
That's it. | |
Yeah, it's their religion, right? | |
It's replaced God since they don't believe in a God. | |
And that's why you always have the ever-changing sort of high priests or priestesses, you know, from | |
You know, Greta Thunberg to George Floyd to Zielinski to Fauci, you know, their deities are revolving, but they are very much deities to them. | |
Exactly. | |
So they're not looking at those people who are with them on the issues and seeing their jaw fall out of their head during a debate or realizing, like, maybe he's not 83. | |
I want to see the birth certificate, Don. | |
I think he's 103. | |
Like, I've never seen his birth certificate. | |
He looks like 30 years older than Trump. | |
I mean, he's like three years old. | |
He looks 30 years old. | |
I want to prove that he's only in his 80s. | |
But he looks like he's a million years old. | |
So, but they don't care. | |
They care about, do I get my abortions? | |
Do I get my left-wing Supreme Court activist picks? | |
Are we going to try to, you know, levy more taxes? | |
Are we going to do more green job incentives? | |
That's what they care about. | |
They don't care who's doing it. | |
They would prefer Obama over Biden, but they don't really care. | |
And if you don't buy into this, let me give a great analogy is that after the infamous Access Hollywood tape came out and all these people were trying to throw Trump under the bus, I said, no one's going anywhere in Trump's movement. | |
And everyone looked at me like, you're crazy. | |
We don't care about that tape. | |
First of all, tape was way out of context. | |
We could go into that. | |
Is that he said, if they're a star, they let you do it. | |
But it's the, that didn't change my opinion that the border should be closed and that China is eating our lunch and we're in too many wars and we should rip up NAFTA. | |
Like that didn't change any of that because he said that. | |
It doesn't mean anything. | |
And so they're watching Biden's debate and they're thinking, huh, could we get Michelle Obama in there? | |
No. | |
Okay, fine. | |
We'll just go with Joe. | |
That's what 40% of the country's thinking about. | |
Yeah, no, it's scary. | |
And I remember the Access Hollywood debate because I wasn't sure because I was still like, hey, that was a time in my life. | |
It's like, well, I'll still watch CNN because maybe they have an interesting take on this. | |
Turns out they didn't. | |
But, you know, I remember being in that room on Saturday morning at like 7 a.m. | |
and it was all hands. | |
And by the way, speaking of which, Steve Bannon and I were the only people like, | |
What do you mean? | |
I mean, Reince Priebus, who was running the RNC at the time, comes in. | |
So do you want to drop out today or tomorrow? | |
Because you're going to lose in the biggest—like, we're going to drop out of a presidential—like, you're just going to—like, we're like, we got two weeks left. | |
Like, we're all in. | |
I mean, it doesn't mean everyone was thrilled about it. | |
We were a little dejected. | |
You know, and to your point, though, you know, Steve and I were like, what are you talking about? | |
Like, we got two weeks. | |
Like, you know, I can hold my breath for two weeks to finish this off if I have to. | |
Yes. | |
We'll get that done. | |
It doesn't mean, you know, when I got, I think I went to like Iowa or, you know, somewhere in the Bible Belt, you know, that Monday morning and I gave a speech and let's just say I'm not known for being low energy and it was lackluster at best. | |
And at the end of this thing, you know, I used to take, I'd take selfies with everyone in the crowd and whatever, and like four or five, I think it was five women came up to me, you know, Sugar, | |
You know, we understand you're a little bit down, but let me just reassure you that my girlfriends and I had that same conversation 17 times last week. | |
Don't worry about it. | |
No one cares. | |
And these were like, you know, well-dressed. | |
It's like, oh shit, no one cares. | |
No, no one cares. | |
Like it's, it's bull. | |
Like when they came up with like, you know, it's locker room talk. | |
Like it was. | |
You know, Billy Bush was like a frat boy buddy of his, and they're joking about these things. | |
You know, Billy Bush has to run and do the mea culpa. | |
I'm so sorry. | |
I'm like, it's bullshit. | |
Like, I used to hang out with Billy Bush all the time in New York. | |
Like, I knew him well. | |
I'm like, he's a frat boy. | |
Like, that's what he is. | |
You know, he doesn't, his opinions on that didn't change. | |
He didn't think it was a mistake. | |
He just didn't like getting caught. | |
And so he played to that. | |
But you're right. | |
It was, it didn't matter. | |
What mattered was jobs. | |
What mattered was wars. | |
What mattered was inflation. | |
And that's the case right now. | |
Exactly, and that's why I think that we can't act like the election is over at this point, though. | |
I have to say, this is the closest I've thought to any election being over at this point, so I'm not saying I don't want to mislead people. | |
Yeah, but to win by two points, we have to win by six points. | |
Right, because they don't have the, hey, we can only cheat so much to get this guy across because no one's going to believe it. | |
They don't care. | |
That's what people don't understand. | |
They don't care if people don't believe it. | |
If they showed up with 450 million ballots for Joe Biden in a country of 350 million, they'd be like, it's the freest and most fair election ever. | |
What are you talking about? | |
It's like, well, what about the 100 million that, you know? | |
No, no, no. | |
I mean, that's within the margin of error. | |
That's totally fine. | |
It's acceptable. | |
There's no shame anymore. | |
It doesn't matter. | |
It's just about the win. | |
Yeah, and the phrase I heard that I like is, outside of the margin of cheating. | |
I mean, that's what we got to look at. | |
Yeah, I call it the margin of fraud, but yes, you're right. | |
Yeah, perfect. | |
So, that's what we got to look at. | |
But, you know, things are looking great when you're hearing, and their camp is denying it, but Gretchen Whitmer's team saying Michigan's gone. | |
I mean, if that's true, it's probably self-serving for her to try to see if they could work her in somewhere extra. | |
But if they're saying that, then that's a great sign for President Trump. | |
But again, it's never over till it's over. | |
And don't underestimate the left's ability to rally behind a Weekend at Bernie's cadaver because he's going to appoint the right court justices if he somehow miraculously gets in. | |
Yeah, he'll sign whatever Susan Rice or Valerie Jarrett or Obama himself puts in front of him, and that's it. | |
So, I mean, I guess with five months until the election, you know, the Democrats, as you said, they're not going to throw in the towel. | |
They're not going to give up. | |
They're going to get this, you know, even incapacitated or clearly incapacitated individual, I guess, over the line. | |
You know, what can we expect? | |
What is that fraud? | |
What is the war game? | |
I mean, is it, you know, over the last couple of weeks, it felt like they were really escalating war with Russia. | |
Now you have, you know, hypersonic missiles parked off the coast of Florida. | |
And I mean, is there anything they won't do, including World War III, to kind of try to game this? | |
You know, COVID was easy to pull it off. | |
They're going to do it with mail-in balloting. | |
I think we have to play the same game. | |
But, you know, what's the thing that, you know, they're always sort of good at being proactive. | |
We're reactionary to the stuff they did last cycle, and then they just change the game. | |
What do you think that war game is going to be right now? | |
Man, I feel like we could do a whole hour just on that question. | |
I want to say something that you mentioned war, which is one of my favorite moments of the debate was President Trump holding Joe Biden accountable for his role in the Ukraine invasion. | |
I was applauding because I have a whole chapter on breaking Biden, breaking this down. | |
There's no way Russia would have invaded. | |
Putin would not have invaded Ukraine if Donald Trump was president. | |
Joe Biden made mistake after mistake in the lead up to that invasion. | |
And just with who he put in power, with allowing NATO to dangle membership to Ukraine, all these things that were deliberately provocative, Putin to invade. | |
Yeah, they gave him every excuse he needed. | |
Every excuse. | |
Every excuse. | |
It's totally Joe Biden's fault. | |
And this was not a mainstream talking point until the debate. | |
So credit to President Trump for bringing that up. | |
And just remember, the Democrats would love to run on war. | |
They would love to run on, we need more wars and we can't have Trump in charge during the wartime. | |
So I would not put that out of consideration. | |
I think Joe would love to talk about Ukraine and Putin and all that stuff nonstop. | |
So definitely keep that in mind. | |
I have a personal thing for Trump | |
And I'll share this with him. | |
I think I have shared it with him, but the next time I see him, I'll definitely remind him of this. | |
But with the former president, him talking about his entrepreneurial background, his personal narrative is very uplifting and it's politically neutral. | |
This is something he's done so well recently, like with the Bronx speech. | |
I would love to see more of that. | |
Don, what do you think of that? | |
Have you heard him do that? | |
Because I love that stuff. | |
I have, you know, it's interesting, and I started thinking about this, and I started thinking about sort of my RNC, my convention speech, and, you know, in 16 I sort of did that. | |
I took the, you know, the examples of, you know, the people, you know, I used the example very specifically of the people who became sort of high-ranking executives in his company that didn't go to college. | |
You know, let alone didn't have the Harvard MBA or Wharton MBAs or whatever it was. | |
But like he gave them an opportunity because they were just good at what they did. | |
They were street smart. | |
They got stuff done. | |
And like, you know, they are their 40 year sort of lifetime employees because they appreciated that loyalty that they got that they would have not gotten anywhere else. | |
You know, he was a better builder, not because he was better at reading a spreadsheet, but because he spent time on the ground with real people. | |
He spent time with the construction workers. | |
They talked him how to make it better by by being on a job site. | |
And that's why | |
While he was perhaps an unlikely person to be sort of a man of the people. | |
It's like, you know, the brash billionaire from New York. | |
I mean, he actually had such a fundamental understanding of these people because they were part of his inner sanctum for decades. | |
So, you know, it was a shock maybe, you know, their house versus where he went to go spend the night, but the reality, he was like one of those guys with a big balance sheet. | |
Exactly, and so I love that entrepreneurial story and I know that you're an author too. | |
You know what's selling in the book space. | |
A lot of it is the self-help stuff. | |
A lot of it is what makes people feel like their lives can be better. | |
Donald Trump has got the most amazing American story. | |
It's completely unique and | |
He's written it and he's told it to a lot of people, but reminding people that he didn't just ascend the power structure in politics, but also in business and entertainment. | |
He's the number one show on TV, which you were on. | |
He's been pretty good at everything he's ever tried to do. | |
You say what you want about it. | |
You may not love his methodologies. | |
He's figured out how to be successful in whatever it is that he does. | |
And he's got all these children and he's got all of this. | |
He's got everything. | |
And he's got golf courses. | |
I think reminding people that you can't do this. | |
He's obviously a unique person. | |
He's a one in a billion character or less. | |
But still, just reminding people that that's where he came from and that's why he got where he is. | |
I want to see him do that. | |
A couple things that I also think are really important to point out just as a collective. | |
We cannot take anything for granted. | |
Don't underestimate the Democrats' ability to use vote-by-mail and community organizing to turn out the vote. | |
They got Joe Biden a record number of votes last time. | |
I don't think they can get that number again, but I think they can get a lot of votes. | |
So we've got to reason with people that they cannot rest on their laurels. | |
They have got to turn out. | |
And they have got to participate in the process. | |
It's not just enough to reject Joe Biden, you also have to physically turn in a ballot. | |
And it is not okay anyone in your life who goes along with this, if you people you think are open-minded, it is not okay to vote for this regime that is jailing their political opponents. | |
And the way to convince people | |
is to hammer them, not just on Joe's age, which of course at this point is game on with the age stuff, the corruption and the incompetence, which to me is still worse. | |
He's a terrible president on policy and he's a corrupt family that is going to continue to enrich themselves if he stays in power. | |
Reminding people of those things I think is golden. | |
So talk about how RFK plays into all of this. | |
You know, it sounded like, you know, this is a guy, you know, one of the storied sort of political dynasties in American history. | |
You know, he's been a radical leftist on basically every issue for his entire career. | |
About a year ago, he comes across or tries to be a conservative and like, | |
We're good to go. | |
To do that while being a conservative crudgel somehow having the most, you know, one of the most liberal records on anything. | |
And, you know, again, it's not like you're a business person that wasn't discussing politics. | |
I mean, he's out there, open borders, anti-gun, radical environmental policy, hates our farmers. | |
You know, it goes on and on. | |
And now, all of a sudden, he's done a total 180, put in the daughter-in-law who works at the CIA, of all places. | |
I mean, it's a psy-op. | |
But how do you get people to realize that and understand what exactly they're trying to do, which is real like Joe Biden? | |
Yeah, it's also amazing how the Democrats subverted their own Democrat process, their own Democratic process. | |
They basically didn't have a primary. | |
They rigged the primary for Joe Biden. | |
And if Kennedy was in there, then he might have some delegates and he might have a chance to actually, you know, kind of swoop in and save the day here for them. | |
But he is a Democrat. | |
And this is the point for me, which has always been the beginning and end with him. | |
And I've never had this sort of obsession with him that a lot of online people have had. | |
Because they like an alternative, because they don't like Trump or Biden. | |
He's a Democrat, and Democrats are part of the problem. | |
And I don't mean to say this in a mean way, if you've Democrats in your family, but the people who vote for people who | |
Support all of Biden's inflationary policies, who support an open border, who like these radical judges on the Supreme Court. | |
All of that is part of why the countries have the issues that we have. | |
And if you're part of that establishment, I don't care if you've got a better opinion on Big Pharma. | |
That's not enough for me to cancel out that you are a Democrat. | |
And so anyone who's looking at him, for me, you have to stop there, that he is a part of the Democrat power structure. | |
And is he a compelling voice? | |
Should he have a good YouTube show or something and do good interviews? | |
That's great, but that has nothing to do with being president and working in our party system now. | |
So, I don't know a PSYOP or not or just a weird guy who's convincing people that he's compelling. | |
I don't know, but what I do know is he's not on my radar personally as a legit candidate | |
And if he should have been, the Democrats should have allowed themselves to have a political process, and then he could have been a factor. | |
But he should not be a factor. | |
I'm not sure if he will be, but he shouldn't be. | |
So, you know, this week we saw the Supreme Court ruling on immunity as it relates to my father. | |
What are your thoughts? | |
What's the breakdown on that so far? | |
You know, how do you see that playing out? | |
I mean, I think it puts a lot of the Jack Smith time until probably after the election, but what are your thoughts on all of that right now? | |
Yeah, it really is. | |
It's kind of hard to summarize, but overall, I think it was a good ruling and it seems like it's going to be very favorable because in a nutshell, the president is absolute immunity for things that the Constitution gives him the exclusive right to do. | |
And so the Congress and the courts, they can't go around that. | |
And so there's no real way to maneuver around that. | |
So I think a lot of what is being claimed, specifically with the D.C. | |
Circuit court case. | |
I think half of that's going to get thrown out. | |
But what's interesting is it puts the burden of proof on the prosecution to suggest if he claims presidential immunity that he might not have it, it's not guaranteed immunity, but it is so broad that they're going to have to object to each individual instance. | |
And then this is going to involve pretrial hearings. | |
Then those can be appealed. | |
There'll be opinions written. | |
And so even though it's not absolute immunity, it's going to be broad enough so that the appeals process will take anything that is being alleged against Trump or that he did wrong well past the election, probably in the fall or even the winter of 2025. | |
So well after the election is decided. | |
So nothing in the D.C. | |
circuit is going to be relevant to this election. | |
And I think that's a big win. | |
Except for the pretrial stuff. | |
If you're talking about that, just get it becoming tedious where you're. | |
Yeah. | |
Well, no, that was a conversation with the DOJ. | |
Therefore, it's out, right? | |
All the things that, you know, he did, it seems like they strike a lot of the, at least the innuendo out of that. | |
But if the pretrial gets so complicated because of that, is that part of the lawfare? | |
Which is like, hey, just keep them off the playing field. | |
You know, you saw that in New York. | |
Just keep them off the playing field. | |
Let them sit in a court for seven weeks, you know, right before an election. | |
I mean, will they still play that game? | |
Or is there a way around that? | |
They're going to play it, but it's going to take a long time. | |
I think half of the claims won't survive now based off of my reading of it, this case. | |
And the other half will be ruled by default to be okay, and then all these are wacky theories in my opinion, none of them have any standing anyway. | |
But all these attorneys are going to have to make the case that these wacky theories are legitimate, and they'll probably each get blown up in separate determinations. | |
Those determinations, could they be tedious and onerous to deal with over the next few months and into next year? | |
Yeah, perhaps, but they're going to go well past when Trump could win. | |
So, could they interrupt a bad news cycle for Joe Biden and have a day where there's some hearing in late September, early October that could involve something that the burden's on Jack Smith now and it is on the people prosecuting Trump | |
But could he interrupt a news cycle for a couple days? | |
He could, and that's annoying. | |
But in a nutshell, I think Trump is totally safe. | |
And if he wins the election, all this definitely goes away. | |
And really, the only hope of this turning into any meaningful convictions is if a Democrat wins and gets more justices on the Supreme Court. | |
Remember, it's a 6-3 decision, so they've really got their work cut out for them to have any lasting impact on some of these obstruction cases. | |
Overall, it's very positive. | |
I wouldn't say Trump is totally out of the woods here, but this is a big win overall. | |
