you you
you hey guys welcome to another huge episode of triggered
Joe Biden is scheduled to have his quote-unquote big boy presser.
The big press conference where he proves that he's not an imbecile.
Don't believe your lying eye, folks.
It's gonna be interesting.
That's gonna be in about 30 minutes.
Let's see if he manages to actually be a big boy and stay up well past his bedtime.
You remember last week they said Joe Biden functions fairly competently between the hours of 10 a.m.
and 4 p.m.
So this is gonna be a couple hours past nap time.
Should be interesting.
Maybe he walks off but we'll be covering it live and I will be commentating over the top of it simultaneously so you'll get to hear my witty take on They should show that we are about to witness.
So, we'll have some fun with that.
I'll also be taking your questions or responding to your comments in the live feed during that.
So, if you're gonna watch what I imagine will be an abject disaster, this is probably the place to do it.
So we'll have some fun.
But first...
First, we'll be talking with Arizona Senate candidate, my friend Carrie Lake, in just a few moments.
And then we'll dip into the presser.
We'll cover the news of the week.
I'll give you my live reaction.
So we have a lot of ground to cover tonight.
Could be a long one, depending on how long Joe's able to stand up.
And given that, I guess he requested a seat for the debate.
I imagine it won't be that long, so we'll have plenty of time to fill afterwards where we can get into the details and have a good time.
So make sure you guys are liking, sharing, subscribing.
Okay, that's how we get ahead of the algorithm everywhere.
The rest of Big Tech, as we all know and talk about all the time, is stacked against us.
So we have to work harder to make sure that we break through all of that noise and actually grow this movement.
Remember, you can also get the podcast.
You can get it on Spotify.
You can get Triggered on Spotify.
You can get it on Apple Podcasts.
If you miss the show here on Rumble, if you have friends that perhaps get their podcast that way, let them know about it.
It's because of you guys that we can make this happen.
So that's a big deal.
If you can share it, We get the message out.

Like, minute by minute, MXM News, where you can get the mainstream news without the mainstream bias.
And also, guys, make certain Make certain that you guys make the parallel economy a part of every purchase.
You can do that on public square.
On public square, you can buy with your beliefs.
You can let your dollars reflect your values.
You can literally vote with your wallet and support great American patriotic businesses rather than the liberal communist patriarchy that you see in corporate America.
Don't give your money to companies who hate you.
Okay, that's a simple concept.
This is not rocket science, folk.
Give it to freedom-loving companies who actually support you.
And if you're a business, by the way, there are millions of consumers who are willing to do that.
They're willing to look and to find you.
So, list your business on Public Square and move our country one step closer to defeating woke capital.
Reject DEI, reject ESG, all of the rest of the far-left madness.
Go download the Public Square app today or go to publicsquare.com, check it out, and together we will build the patriot economy and save our country.
So, since we're going We're going to do it a little bit reverse.
We're not going to do news of the day.
We're going to get to Kerry now.
We're going to have some fun with this.
So now Joe Biden, we're told, is going to go to the podium at around 630.
So I wanted to bring Kerry Lake on here, Senate candidate from Arizona, a great friend, a fighter, to preview a little bit of what we may see tonight.
And with that, I'll give you Kerry Lake.
Kerry, how are you?
I'm doing great.
Good to see you, Don.
I hope all is well with you and the family and a belated happy birthday.
Well, yeah, well, we got, there's a lot of birthdays floating around.
So, but yeah, no, thank you so much.
Nearly 200 Democrats.
voted this week against proof of citizenship to vote.
I mean, clearly the Democrats have been flooding the borders with illegals.
Obviously, your home state of Arizona, it's a major issue and problem there.
And with the Democratic governor there, clearly they're not doing anything about it.
But 200 They voted against even having to show a proof of citizenship to vote.
They followed Joe Biden's orders to vote against the SAVE Act.
Do you think Democrats that vote with Biden need to also be cognitively tested?
Because I think it's time, but that's just my opinion.
It's just so anti-American.
It's America last.
And my opponent, Ruben Gallego, voted against it.
He voted to let illegals vote in the election, in this upcoming election.
It's shocking.
I actually, I really did think, and I'm admitting this, I thought more Democrats would come over and do the right thing on this.
I was shocked to find out only four did the right thing, and Ruben Gallego voted to basically let illegals come into this country and vote.
But think about it.
They have no other choice.
The American people hate the Democrat Party's destructive dead-end policies because they've destroyed our economy, they've destroyed our national security, they've destroyed our communities, they've made our streets unsafe, they've
exploded the massive chronic street homeless problem we have, they've made the fentanyl, you
know, weapon of mass destruction problem even bigger than it is. Literally everything they
touch turns to, I don't want to say it, but you know what I'm talking about. It's really
bad for- It ain't gold!
It ain't gold, no.
It ain't gold, no.
Thank you.
Thank you, Don.
I'm trying, I'm trying, you know, I've got kids, and we've got a cursed jar in the kitchen, and when you say a dirty word, you've got to put money in it.
I'm trying to save myself some money.
I haven't cursed a jacuzzi, because the jar, it overflows, so... But, no, but the reality is that, but that's the problem, like, hey, you're right, I get it, I try to be better around my kids and stuff like that, but honestly, these days, the expletives, It's almost required, because you're right.
I mean, everything is America Last.
There's not even a pretense.
And so it's like, well, we can't win on policy.
We can't do what's right for the American people.
So rather than change our ways, Democrats say, well, we'll just import 15 million people.
We'll flood the polls.
We'll do whatever we can to make them think that they can vote legally.
We won't press charges if they do.
We'll basically encourage them to do that.
No, they have to fill out a form that says, you know, they think they can vote legally.
Even if they can't, it doesn't matter.
We won't press charges.
We won't enforce it.
So, you know, they're clearly, you know, that's clearly part of the plan.
They know they can't win on policy.
They can't win on peace and prosperity.
They can't win on anything.
So this is their game.
This is why they pushed an invasion of our country.
We have literally been invaded.
Our country has had an invasion at our border.
12 million people, maybe more.
Many of them not good people.
Many of them we've seen the crime soaring with migrants, crime on American citizens.
A mother of five killed.
A young woman with her whole life ahead of her out jogging.
Killed and raped and children being attacked.
It's disgusting what's happening.
They are America last and we have to vote them out.
The problem is our elections still aren't perfect and people, Don, when I'm on the campaign trail, which I am every day, all day, number one question I get is, but our elections are a mess and that's why we continue to fight.
I just filed today or I'm filing today in the Arizona Supreme Court another filing to try to get Force the county of Maricopa and other election officials to just follow the law.
We don't ask for any favorites.
We don't ask for an unlevel playing field.
Doesn't seem like an unreasonable ask.
I mean, you know, this is the law.
We just want legal votes to count.
Stick to that.
It does not seem like a big ask, but again, I guess that's an act of desperation from the Democrats.
But we can't pretend that they're going to be honest brokers in this.
They don't care.
They talk about freedom and democracy and liberty and all that.
It's like a soundbite to them.
It doesn't mean anything.
They're totalitarian despots at this point.
And now they're trying to act like, oh my gosh, we're shocked we didn't know anything was wrong.
Oh, we're shocked by what we saw at the debate.
This has been happening for years.
Everybody with two brain cells saw what was happening with Joe Biden.
And for them to feign, you know, shock that they're shocked about what Joe Biden's condition is.
And now he's holding a big boy event, a big boy press conference.
You know, I remember when I was potty training my kids back when they were little.
I've got three little big boys.
We'd say, let's put your big boy pants on today.
And this must indicate that Joe Biden's not going to be wearing a diaper tonight.
This man is not fit for office.
We've known it for a long time.
The media has known it for a long time.
The Democrat machine in the swamp has known it.
And now they want to swap him out because they didn't want to go through the truly democratic process of letting people run for office on the Democrat ticket.
And because they might not get somebody they can control that way, they want to just swap him out.
You know, frankly, as a woman, as a mother, I'm very concerned over the next four months what our adversaries could do to us with this feeble, cognitively impaired person sitting in the White House.
With the nuclear codes.
I'm obviously worried about the next four years, but I believe your dad, our favorite president, Donald J. Trump, is going to win.
My concern is, how do we get through the next four months?
And what are they capable of pulling in the next four months?
Well, that's what it is.
I mean, again, that's the nature of predation, right?
You prey on the weak when they're weak, and that's what the world has been doing with Joe Biden at the helm.
I guess the question is, is there ever going to be a reckoning or an accountability for all these Democrats that, no, no, no, this guy is great.
This is the guy you want.
With the nuclear football at 3 a.m.
when something goes wrong.
I mean, this is our guy.
He's gonna keep you safe and prosperous.
I mean, that's clearly been a lie.
I wrote a book about it, literally in 2020, called Liberal Privilege.
I mean, I knew about it then, and I don't do this for a living, and I wasn't a journalist that was around the guy all the time.
Everyone knew.
I'd say this is the biggest scandal in the history of American politics, that you could get away with this sort of puppet president.
Will there ever be a reckoning or accountability?
You know what I want?
I want justice.
We're forgiving people.
People say, oh, just forgive.
Well, you can't forgive unless there's been justice.
And we haven't seen justice in America for a long time.
I believe right now the only thing that will keep us safe for the next four months Is the fact that world leaders and even our adversaries know that your dad and President Donald J. Trump is coming.
He's up on deck.
He's coming in next.
And knowing that he's coming, that will keep us safe the next four months.
I believe our adversaries know better than to do anything to hurt America.
And I pray at least that that's the case, because they know that when President Trump comes into office, He's not going to go easy on people who try to hurt America.
He will fight for this country.
He will fight for the people of this country.
I talked to a father yesterday, Don.
It broke my heart because, as you know, I'm from a big family of nine, eight girls and one boy, and my dad was such a huge influence on my life, a football coach, a history teacher.
And he was a strong influence on our lives.
And I talked to a dad yesterday.
He said, Carrie, I'm a single father of four girls.
I'm a working class, blue collar worker.
I've got the best credit score I've ever had in my life.
And I've been saving.
I had been saving to buy a house.
And Joe Biden's economy has just knocked me down.
I'm living in a fifth wheeler with my children.
And no matter how hard he works, he can't get ahead right now.
And he's willing to work hard.
He's willing to work harder.
But this economy just keeps getting worse and worse and worse.
And I'm just worried about these families, Don, that I don't know how much longer a lot of these families can hold out before we start seeing a homeless population grow.
Not with people hooked on drugs, with people who are working their butts off.
But they still can't make it.
They can't afford the rent.
They can't afford to get by.
We've got to get this election.
I wish the election were today.
If the election were today, we'd watch Arizona go back.
President Trump would win.
I would win the U.S.
Senate.
Our poll numbers look great.
Our internal poll numbers look great.
But unfortunately, we have to wait four months for the election.
I do want to tell the people of Arizona, we have primary ballots are in your mailbox.
And even though we're way, way, way ahead, we've got to get out and vote.
Let's finish this, vote in the primary, and then we'll keep our eye focused on the day we save our country, November 5th, when we vote for President Trump here in Arizona for president, Carrie Lake for U.S.
Senate, and Republicans right down the line.
Kerry, what do you make of Joe Biden's possible replacement, Kamala Harris?
I mean, how do Arizonans view her, especially her ability as the person who was anointed to be a border czar?
Doesn't seem like she did all that much, but doesn't seem like she has done all that much, frankly, throughout her career anyway.
I don't know how she made it.
I don't even know how she arrived.
Oh, I know how she made it, but I'm not allowed to say it because they'll call me a misogynist and a sexist, but I'd say it's fairly well documented, but it's just, that's verboten for me to discuss as a conservative male, I guess.
So, you know, I'll let Willie Brown do the talking on that.
Listen, you know, as I said, Don, I'm from a big family, eight girls, so I love it when we see women doing great, but I also love it when we see great men doing well also.
And I don't vote based on someone's gender.
I don't vote based on someone's skin color.
I vote based on competency.
In these positions, we need competent leaders.
What we really need are courageous leaders.
Not just competent, but competent and courageous.
People who are willing to risk everything to do the right thing, even when they have a lot to risk.
And we've seen that with your family.
You guys have a lot to risk, and you all step forward and do the right thing for our country.
And we need more people like that, patriotic leaders.
I can't believe there's one person in the world who could be less popular than Joe Biden, but it could be his vice president.
Maybe he picked her because of that.
He figured nobody would ever want to replace him because she's so disliked, distrusted, and the people have no faith in her abilities.
So to me, if they replace Joe Biden with Kamala Harris, I still think it's a landslide victory for Republicans.
But frankly, I believe no matter who, They replace him with.
No matter who they put in that position, the American people are tired of these dead-end destructive policies of the left.
They don't care who it is.
You can put a new shiny object out there.
The policies are horrible.
They're horrible for our families.
They're destructive to our businesses.
They're dangerous to our children.
And they're absolutely horrifying when it comes to foreign policy.
And that's a danger to the world, frankly.
Yeah, I mean, I'll cover this later, I guess in my rundown, but there's literally a Pentagon slideshow that was shown to soldiers that said pro-life groups are terrorists.
I mean, they're grouping them in there with ISIS.
How concerned are you about sort of the leftist ideology in the military that's taken over, that's absolutely crushed the recruitment numbers?
I'm sure it's crushed our ability to actually function.
What's going on?
Well, thankfully for every member of the military, their mother was pro-life.
They were born.
And we have some very strong, incredible people, hard-working people who love our country and the military.
I look forward to after this election.
Right now, they're having a hard time recruiting people.
I think a lot of people, even if they're families who for decades and generations have been in the military, they don't want to serve under Joe Biden.
Even though they love our country, they don't want to serve with Joe Biden as Commander-in-Chief.
I predict we are going to see a surge of young, strong men who want to join the military, and a bunch of women as well, who want to join the military when President Trump gets back in office.
And we will have, once again, the greatest, strongest military, not a woke military, Um, it concerns me greatly, though, because, you know, a woke military, when we're watching some of these folks at the top, these leaders at the top who are men dressed as women, I mean, that makes us the laughingstock of the world.
Or dogs.
Minor details.
In, like, bondage outfits.
I mean, you know, that strikes fear in the hearts of some, but probably not our enemies.
Yeah, no, it doesn't.
But I predict we're gonna see a turnaround.
And the beautiful thing is, these problems we have, while they are dire and horrible, and we don't have to have these problems, Joe Biden created all of them, and my opponent, Ruben Gallego, rubber-stamped it all.
We can solve these problems.
We saw how.
America First policies.
Boom!
The border is easily fixed.
We can do that immediately.
Boom!
We can bring back the energy sector and bring down gas prices and energy prices and create really good high-paying jobs.
And we don't have to be dependent.
On Middle East oil or oil from, you know, Venezuela, for goodness sakes.
We can turn the economy around, bring back Trump policies that had a strong economy, reshore businesses and manufacturing, enabling American men and women to get good jobs once again.
We'll solve the problems quickly.
We're in a world of hurt right now and I want the people who are watching right now to know, look, It's going to be a dicey four months.
We all know that.
Come January, when President Trump is sworn into office, when I'm sworn into the U.S.
Senate, and a whole bunch of other great folks who are willing to step up for this moment and serve, we are going to turn this around quickly.
And we are going to see our most prosperous period, I believe, in maybe our lifetimes, Dawn.
I told my kids, I know you have a large family and some amazing children.
My daughter's 21.
My son is 19.
And Ruby, the other day at dinner, She looked at me dead serious and she said, Mom, I did the math.
Even if I work every waking hour from literally, if it was possible, the minute I wake up until the minute I go to bed, I won't be able to save enough money to afford a house in Arizona.
And I thought, wow, I mean, here I have wonderfully hardworking kids and they're willing to work hard, but working from the minute you wake up until the minute you go to bed and it's still impossible to achieve the American dream.
We've got to all jump in and get involved.
The next four months, if you're not willing to sacrifice literally everything for this country, I don't know what it's going to take, because we're on the verge of losing the greatest nation that's ever existed on this planet.
And I'm seeing it on the campaign trail.
We started a bus tour just a few days ago.
We've been all over the state.
Massive crowds showing up.
We pulled the bus over, and all of a sudden, cars start doing U-turns.
They pull in.
They follow our bus.
And we have big crowds of people saying, how can I get involved?
What can I do, aside from voting, to make sure that President Trump gets in the White House, you get in the Senate, and we save our country?
This movement is so big.
They've been lying to us, telling us we're 50-50, 51-49.
That is, that's BS.
This country is actually so much more united than anybody understands.
And once we just turn off the fake news, give them zero power, don't give them any of our attention, that's when we'll realize how united we are as a country.
And we're taking our country back November 5th.
It's going to be historic.
And we are going to, come January 25th, start seeing our government shrunk down, we the people in charge.
And once again, we'll see some justice for all of the wrongdoing that's been inflicted on us.
Yeah, no, I think you're right.
I see that too.
I was at the rally down in Miami on Tuesday with my father, and a kid came up to me like, hey, I have my Marine Corps paper signed.
The second your father wins the election, I'm going to just join the Marine Corps.
But they're not going to do it under Joe Biden.
And by the way, the guy's not wrong at all.
So I see it.
I see the momentum so early.
It's great.
I would sign up for the military if they're taking middle-aged women, if your dad was the commander-in-chief, but I think I'm a little too old to jump into the military.
Hey, listen, I would much rather have you in there than, like, the trans-admiral, so you don't have to know how to hold a gun, you don't have to know anything.
Basically, I don't think you need to know how to do anything militarily to still be a force to be reckoned with relative to some of the garbage that I see out there on a daily basis, so I don't think you actually have to worry about that.
How about I just go serve in a role in the U.S.
Senate and help make sure we get that America First agenda moved through quickly.
We get all those cabinet confirmations quickly confirmed so that each and every one of them can go into those departments, shrink them down, clean house, cut out all the bureaucracy, and we get the Supreme Court and judicial picks approved, and we start turning things around.
That's how I think I'm best.
I don't think I can do 50 push-ups.
What else do people need to know about your race in Arizona and primarily, ultimately, your opponent Ruben Gallego?
Well, let me tell you who he is.
Right now, he's endorsed by the Soros family, so he's got billions of dollars to spend.
And the fact of the matter is nobody really knows him.
For a decade, he's been a congressman.
He came here as a far-left Democrat from Chicago to Arizona to run and get in our political system and try to turn our state blue.
Since he's been in the Congress, he has voted most radical votes we've ever seen in Arizona.
I don't know any Democrat who actually thinks Joe Biden's been right 100% of the time.
Even AOC doesn't think Joe Biden's been right 100% of the time.
But my opponent, Ruben Gallego, has voted with Joe Biden and Kamala Harris 100% of the time.
And now he's trying to, you know, go into hiding because there's a complete meltdown in the Democrat Party.
Ruben Gallego has voted and supported sanctuary cities and sanctuary states.
He's voted for a wide open border.
He called the border wall, which is the most effective, cheapest way to secure our border.
He called it dumb and stupid and said he would never, ever, ever.
Yes, he said ever three times, like a 13-year-old girl.
He said he would never, ever, ever fund it.
He has voted for asylum for everybody who's invaded our country and voting rights, which would forever change our nation.
He's actually marched and defunded police rallies.
And when our cities were burning back in 2020, when Minneapolis was on fire and hard-earned folks were watching their businesses burn to the ground and there was rioting, looting, He was actually out there saying, let's get rid of the filibuster, he said, in order to put the George Floyd legislation to pass that and bring defunding of the police nationwide.
I could go on and on and on about the federal investigation of a company he worked for, for Medicare fraud, about the fact that he's voted.
And because of his votes for the last two years, we watched Medicare cuts, about the fact that his secret plan is to destroy Social Security.
And I mean, Don, opposition research.
I'm going to let some people in.
I didn't know all of this before I got into politics as a citizen politician.
Opposition research is basically everything your opponent has been up to their whole life, all the bad stuff and everything they've done.
And literally his opposition research book, it's a three ring file.
It's It's this big.
I can't even carry it.
It's almost too heavy.
His voting record has been disastrous for Arizona and, frankly, America.
And he's against your dad's tax cuts, the Trump tax cuts, which gave us, everybody in America, more money in their pocket.
He already said he's not going to vote to keep the Trump tax cuts, which would mean in January of 25, if he were to be elected, everybody would see a 20 or 30% increase in their taxes.
I don't know anybody who can afford that.
That's how dangerous this man is.
That's why everybody, if they love President Trump and want to get back to good America First policies, have to vote Trump and Lake in Arizona.
Well, Carrie, thank you very much, as always.
I think the Joe Biden press conference is just going to begin in a few minutes, so we'll go to that live when it begins.
But I want to appreciate just all the work that you're putting in there.
Look forward to seeing you out in Arizona in the not-too-distant future.
And just keep going strong, Carrie.
I want you to come on out and join our bus tour, and I'm going to see you next week when we make history and watch your dad be nominated for a third time to be the greatest president we've ever had in our country.
I'm looking forward to seeing you at the convention, and then we'll be back here in Arizona.
If you're watching from Arizona, get those primary ballots in.
We want to have a huge victory.
We love the Trump family, and thank you, Don, for everything you do to save our country.
It's truly appreciated, I can tell you, all across Arizona.
Well, it's my honor.
Thanks a lot, Carrie.
We'll talk to you soon.
I'll see you next week.
Thanks.
Okay.
Okay, guys.
So Joe Biden's press conference will begin in a few minutes, apparently.
We'll see.
You know, I speculated last week, perhaps the reason the debate went so badly.
Hunter Biden has apparently been in the White House as, you know, Joe Biden's consigliere.
Maybe he's been You know, getting into Biden's supply of whatever drugs they're jacking him up with.
So maybe, maybe we'll see a young, vibrant and spry Joe Biden in just a couple minutes.
I'm not going to count on that, but when it begins, we'll go there.
In the meantime, I'm going to have the team pull up You guys pull up the uh live feed uh also in my laptop up here uh so we can get that going and I can answer your questions in the meantime while we wait because you know Joe's not often on time and if he's not quite jacked up enough or the drugs haven't kicked in yet or perhaps they wore off and they gotta
Re-administer?
It could take a little while.
But before we do that, I want to make sure to get to one more of our great sponsors, okay?

Alright, flag it when we start.
That way I continue to yak.
I'm starting to see some questions pop in there.
Alright.
Bye.
Guys.
Now.
As I told you on Monday, Joe Biden's new top White House advisor, and I told you this a few minutes ago, is actually Hunter Biden.
This is amazing stuff.
Our enemies are salivating.
Joe is left having to huddle with his crackhead son because no one else in the Democrat Party wants anything to do with him right now.
Even Obama.
Barack Obama, who gave us this guy and has probably been pulling the marionette strings for the last couple years, is turning on Biden.
This morning, Politico reported that Obama was fine with George Clooney's op-ed calling on Joe Biden to drop out.
And then, Morning Joe, Biden's favorite show, said Biden's campaign thinks Obama is behind it all.
Check it out for yourself.
Let's say one thing that we do have to underline here just so so viewers can can follow what's going on behind the scenes is is the Biden campaign and many Democratic officials do believe that Barack Obama is is quietly working behind the scenes to orchestrate this.
By the way, I'm seeing something in the feed.
Law passed.
ID required.
No, no, no.
It passed the House.
It's never going to get past the Democrat-controlled Senate.
And Joe Biden has already said that he would veto it.
So that's fake news.
Just because it gets through the House by a couple of votes, barely, and 198 Democrats voted against it, doesn't mean it passed into law.
That's a big difference, guys.
But again, back to Obama.
Obama is probably behind it all.
He's never been a fan of Biden.
It was just the guy that they could sell to America and is, you know, bumbling Joe.
He's, you know, blue-collar Joe.
He's never worked a blue-collar job in his life, but minor details.
Remember, he was the guy that pushed George Clooney and all of these things.
George Clooney finally came out.
It's enough.
It's different.
It's time to move on.
George Clooney still weren't clear.
Three weeks ago held a fundraiser for Joe Biden.
I think they raked in about 30 million dollars.
So you're telling me that George Clooney didn't know that this was a disaster then?
He's been doing events with him for the last four years.
George Clooney knew.
He's complicit.
He lied to the American people.
Either that or George Clooney is perhaps dumber than Joe Biden himself, which is a very distinct possibility, okay?
Just because you're good at pretending doesn't mean you're necessarily intelligent.
We should be very clear about that.
Obama, again, is likely behind it all.
He's never been a fan of Joe.
It was always Obama.
Okay, it was about him.
This was just the useful idiot.
Remember Obama's quote?
Never underestimate Joe's ability to F things up.
Well, Biden has clearly F'd it all up.
NBC News And the New York Times are now both reporting that Biden campaign aides think he has no shot of winning, and they want to convince him to drop out.
Even Biden's cabinet secretaries are leaking.
One of them told CNN today that they don't know what condition Joe Biden is in.
His cabinet secretaries don't know.
Who knows?
Maybe Biden will drop out during the press conference, which was supposed to start about two minutes ago, but, you know, again, Who knows what they're jacking up Joe with.
If Joe Biden is out, it would appear that Kamala Harris is up.
I've told you about how radical she is.
Here's a video that summarizes her incredibly well.
Eventually, everyone would be taken off a private, the private plan that their company currently has.
Yeah.
There's no question I'm in favor of banning fracking.
Do you ban plastic straws?
I think we should.
Yes.
I am prepared to get rid of the filibuster to pass a Green New Deal.
On day one we're going to repeal that tax bill.
But we've got to increase the corporate tax rate and also looking at estate taxes are going to have to go up.
And under my plan there will also be a carbon fee.
So I decided I was going to start prosecuting parents for truancy.
Oh, that cackle was something.
But whether it's Biden or Harris, it doesn't change the radical left-wing policies that will be pushed, right?
No matter what, that's what these people are.
They're radicals.
They are insane.
Just look at what's happening with our military.
A recent anti-terrorism briefing at an army base labeled several pro-life organizations, including National Right to Life and Operation Rescue, as terrorist groups.
I mean, just American religious groups, these are terrorists in these people's minds.
Okay, just so we're clear.
I know this seems too shocking to be real, but in a statement this afternoon, this afternoon, the Army confirmed that this slideshow was used at Fort Liberty.
Many of you who aren't woke and imbecilic used to call it Fort Bragg.
Okay, that's the home of many special forces, some great patriots.
This is the crap they are pushing there.
And 198 House Democrats just voted against stopping illegal immigrants from voting in elections.
They're not even pretending anymore, folks.
They are so desperate for power that they will let this country get destroyed just for the illegal voters, right?
You heard Carrie Lake talking about Americans not being able to get by.
They don't care.
They're going to give your taxpayer money to these Folks who aren't here legally, who haven't contributed, but who will reliably vote for their communist policies.
Our country can't win wars if our military starts to sound like an MSNBC panel, okay?
That's not gonna happen.
And our country won't survive another four years of open borders.
While Joe Biden is certainly weak as hell, and Kamala is crazy, nothing's going to change because the Democrats at the top are all this way.
They believe these things are somehow working.
But anyone with a brain and a pair of eyes understands that's not the case.
We can't risk anything.
You can be a part of the team that's putting a stop to crooked Joe Biden and the far-left Democrats.
Trump Force 47 is the most sophisticated ground game ever put together by Republicans, and it's already having an impact on this election.
Last time, the Democrats used every trick in the book to steal the election.
This time, we are making it too big to rig.
We are going to break and beat the margin of fraud to win.
My father needs your help to get it done.
Your small time commitments will have a huge impact on the election in November.
You can become a Trump Force 47 captain and organize your neighborhood by connecting with
voters that live near you.
Every vote counts.
We can't take anything for granted.
We have to get involved.
So go to TrumpForce47.com, TrumpForce47.com to join the team.
Stop Joe Biden and his woke cronies from destroying this incredible nation.
Okay.
Are we live?
Still waiting.
All right.
I think we're staring at an empty podium, which is basically the same as if Joe Biden was actually on the podium, but I'm going to go to the live feed.
I'm going to take some of your guys' questions.
Do you have any thoughts on what's going on in Arizona?
The Kerry Lake stuff, etc.
Let's just see what's going on.
Donate to Trump 47.
That certainly, that helps, Patty.
Thank you.
Well, you know, or that's, sorry, Marine Corporal 1985.
Sorry, the live feed was going a little too fast.
Yeah, get involved.
Yeah, you're right.
Yes, hold the line.
Become, you know, poll watchers.
Sea Heaven 0207.
Yes, that matters.
Don, how will we stop the illegals from voting and stop them from getting social security cards?
Well, they're giving them to them now.
You have to make people understand that there are consequences to this.
Just because the Democrats pretend it's not against the law doesn't mean it's not.
And I think we have to spend a lot of money making sure that people know that if they're doing these things illegally, they'll be prosecuted.
Um, that's, you know, that's a reality.
You heard about, you know, the, the Dropbox situation in Wisconsin last week.
And, you know, hey, we got to raise a bunch more money.
We got to put cameras, even hidden cameras on each and every one of these things.
And when you catch them playing the games, you got to go after them.
Uh, you know, we need people in Congress to follow up.
We need people in the state legislators to follow up.
We just can't.
Be weak anymore.
You know, we exude weakness even from the conservative side so much, we actually have to just finally say enough is enough, put our big boy pants on, and fight the way the Democrats would.
And if we do that, we win.
It's like a no-brainer.
I mean, no one actually believes these policies are good, but, you know, they're getting fed a narrative by the mainstream media.
They spend countless dollars.
You heard Kerry say, you know, Ruben Gallego from Chicago, Soros funded.
Alex Soros just got engaged to Huma Abedin.
Yesterday or the day before, Hillary Clinton's former aide, the woman who was married to, I guess, convicted sex offender Anthony Weiner.
I mean, she's going to be a decision maker with the billions of dollars that I'm sure she'll hire and push reasonable candidates.
Uh, sarcasm font.
Uh, but, you know, that's what these guys do.
They are, they play to win.
I'm not gonna, you know, I'm not gonna sugarcoat that.
We certainly don't most of the time.
So, uh, we have to change that.
And, uh, we, we will, if we do that and everyone fights the same way they do, I think it's a no-brainer.
The fact that when you think about what we're up against, right?
A trillion-dollar institution that is the mainstream media, trillion dollars in big tech, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera.
And the fact that elections are even close, it's almost impossible to believe.
That tells me that we actually are winning on policy.
We just have to make sure we're not afraid, we're not pushed down into corners, we don't let the suppression, the cancellation affect us anymore.
We just have to fight to protect our country into the future.
You know.
You gotta get out there and just vote, and you gotta make sure it's counted, and you gotta make sure people are watching, and if you understand how to do the poll watching, and you're tough enough to call out the nonsense, and you're not gonna get pushed around, get involved.
Don Jr., Ted Nugent for Borders are.
That would be great.
This is something I could totally endorse.
If Joe goes before his term ends, will Kamala be 47?
Yes.
Probably.
That would seem how it would work, right?
She would be the next president.
She just doesn't become like 46 part 2, so she'd be 47.
And honestly, I think...
I mean, okay, actually, this is an interesting one.
Hey, type in the live chat, give me a number one, if you would rather run against Joe Biden, meaning to win for conservatives, or number two, if you would rather run against Kamala Harris.
So would you rather be running against Joe Biden?
Number one, if you're rather run against Kamala Harris, give me a two.
Let's, let's see what, I'm just kind of curious where we are here.
What do you guys think?
Uh, well, okay I
A lot more ones.
Okay.
Okay.
There's, there's 1.5.
Uh, so there's a lot of ones.
We have more twos popping in now.
Um, is this true?
Ryan 999 says, holy ass Biden just introduced Zelensky as president Putin.
This is incredible.
And now I want to hand it over to President of the Ukraine, ladies and gentlemen, President Putin.
I mean, you can't make this shit up.
I mean, please?
Okay, how about this?
New.
Type number three.
If I'm just the star of the Truman Show, if, like, I'm Jim Carrey and the Truman Show, and you guys are all just fucking with me, okay?
I'm sorry for the language, but, like, How is it possible?
How is it possible?
Please, if I'm just the star of the Truman Show, someone's gotta break.
Tell me the truth.
Three, three, okay.
It has to be.
I have no choice, so.
Okay, we're gonna play the Putin clip so you guys see it right now.
Watch this thing.
I mean, it's literally, it never ends.
It never ends.
Alright, play it.
And now I want to hand it over to the President of Ukraine, who has as much courage as he has determination.
Ladies and gentlemen, President Putin.
What?
Oh, did it play?
Oh, I didn't see it.
I'm sorry, I was waiting for it to see.
So, I didn't see it.
So, on a scale of 1 to kill yourself, how bad is that?
I mean, literally, it's like the only thing he cares about, and he can't even get that right.
Spectacular.
I mean, this press conference is gonna be truly special.
I mean, I think this press conference is, it's actually the opportunity for, like, a journalist to, like, you can actually take out a president.
If you ask a good question the right way and follow up the right way, you could actually be, like, you could actually do something in your otherwise worthless lives, uh, and careers, you know, because I'm sure it's gonna be staffed with all liberal, you know, journalists that will never do anything other than carry the water of the Democrat Party, but, like, I don't know.
You could add it to your resume that you took the kill shot, like, on a president, figuratively speaking, because I know someone's gonna, you know, call Secret Service, but, like, of a presidency, and take out, you know, a moron with this answer.
I mean, it's amazing.
Yeah, Douglast for real?
Yeah, I just played it.
Like, it's insane.
Okay, so on the scale of one to kill yourself, I'm seeing a lot of kill yourself.
Yeah, no, it's that bad, right?
Rollory 910, what a dumbass.
Yes, that is putting it mildly.
Ah, toasty seats, this is interesting.
Pre-loaded questions, question mark.
You know what?
Thus far, it's been three and a half years of preloaded questions.
I do think the media, because again, they're not, you know, taking out Joe, they think is actually good for the Democrats, right?
So it's a little different.
It's not, they're not protecting the Democrats anymore.
They think they're protecting him by taking him out.
So I don't know if they're going to do with the preloaded questions anymore.
I don't think they're going to go for that.
I think they may actually go for that sort of, you know, verbal kill shot because Because that's how they do the bidding of the Democrat Party, right?
He's lost most of the Democrat Party.
He has to still kind of ultimately decide for himself a little bit, or at least that's the way to make it easy.
But I don't see the Democrats or the press doing that because It's no longer a favor to the Democrat Party.
All they do is favors to the Democrat Party.
They are the today's press corps, the White House press corps, you know, with the exception of maybe two or three people that occasionally get to answer questions, they are activists for the Democrat Party.
They are regime propagandists.
That's what they do.
So, you know, in this case, the regime propaganda would actually be probably for helping displace Joe Biden.
And so, so I don't think they're going to do the preloaded questions anymore.
Um, Don Jr.
Where are the custom emojis for pedo Pete from your father and yours?
I you know what?
Everyone knows you.
I don't know.
I don't have a custom emoji.
I'm too busy doing everything else.
I haven't worried about it.
But you know, I'm sure I'm sure they'll come up with something.
Let's see.
This is a good one.
Don, how can you support JD Vance after hearing what he said about your father in the past?
Listen, anyone else who's been in there, look at the stuff that they said about my father in the past in the throes of a primary.
By the way, in 2016, hey, you have a brash billionaire from New York.
Is he going to do those things he said?
Does he have that ability?
So he proved that.
And those, you know, there's a few that have gone on the record saying, Hey, I was, I was a hundred percent wrong.
But in 16, don't forget, everyone was the enemy of my father and he was going to fail miserably on these things.
And he was going to be the worst president on XYZ on everything.
So, you know, those people who actually do a mea culpa and then spend, you know, the last four or five years truly fighting at six years and, you know, fighting back and being like, Hey, I was wrong.
And he's, he's great.
Uh, I get that.
It takes a lot to actually do that.
I have a lot less respect for the people who pretend they didn't say these things and are big buddies, but the ones who go out there and say, hey, I was wrong, here's why Trump's right, and then literally vigorously defends you, J.D.
Vance is arguably I don't even know.
Arguably.
I mean, I think he's by far, you know, the best senator in the Senate pushing the issues that matters, and he can articulate it better than all of them.
There's a couple of great guys there, but it's a very small number.
It's not even close.
So, it's a big one.
Let's see.
Note cards galore.
I'm sure that'll be a big one.
We may be here for hours because, you know, who knows?
He was supposed to start 17 minutes ago now, and he hasn't been there yet, but let's see what happens.
But for you guys, like, I mean, is that a fair explanation?
Is there anything else I need to sort of explain as it relates to that?
You know, there are people, hey, you know, next week's convention week.
In 2016, I literally almost got in a fistfight with Mike Lee on the floor of the convention.
He's a senator from Utah.
He's like now one of our better fighters out there.
He's become a good friend.
You know, hey, once people actually saw that you were real and you say the guy from New York, you know, that everyone was like, oh, he's a Democrat, like actually wasn't and actually pushed conservative values.
You know, people can change their mind and they can have a very different opinion.
But eight years ago at that convention, you know, Mike and I did not get along all that well.
And, you know, that's fine.
We've since made up and we're good friends now.
15 minutes to go.
Really?
I don't know what that means.
I guess 15 minutes late, but...
Okay.
Barry McGowan.
How quick does Junior gut and skin an elk?
I mean, I can gut an elk in probably five minutes.
I mean, you know, that part's pretty easy.
The field dressing part.
Skinning takes a little bit longer.
A lot of it really depends on how long everything sits.
If you get something in a place where you can get it, you know, or even get it hung fast while it's still warm, you can do it a lot faster than if you sort of have to, sort of, once it gets cold.
So the skinning part, You know, that could take a little bit longer, but basic field dressing?
I mean, that's real fast.
Funny, I've got a funny gutting an elk story.
I tagged out, I just got a secret service detail in like, I guess it was 16.
Right after we won, they get a Secret Service detail.
I drew a tag for Elk.
It was like a late-season archery tag.
I went out there, and I had, like, you know, Secret Service guys on me, and they were right on my butt with, like, MP5s, and I'm trying to stalk up and...
You know, an elk in the woods.
And I was like, guys, this isn't going to work.
Like, this does not work.
Like, they're like, well, how much more space do you need?
I was like, like a thousand yards.
I need a thousand yards more of space.
So finally I got the space I needed.
And we're, you know, pretty good Trump country.
I'm not too worried about it.
Uh, you know, managed to actually tag out in a couple days, uh, on an elk.
Uh, and I get to work, you know, gutting this elk.
And, uh, one of the guys on the detail who became a very good friend of mine afterwards and everything and that it was, it was sort of funny, but literally saw me gutting an elk and just literally started throwing up.
Guys, this is gonna be a long detail for you if you can't handle this one.
So I was like, by the way, what happens if I get shot?
And if you can't handle the elk guts, what happens if, like, you gotta handle me getting shot?
And I was, according to those guys, I was the number two most threatened guy in the government at the time or, you know, shortly thereafter.
So, you know, figured could have been a decent chance to that.
So that was just, I don't know, random sort of funny elk gutting story while we wait.
Any other random thoughts while we're at it?
Uh, gun questions, fishing questions, political questions.
Speed's going pretty fast.
Let me scroll down to the bottom.
Uh, uh, oh.
Yeah, born to eat toast.
The triceratops hoax was pretty funny.
Yeah, was that Crowder or one of the guys?
They went around like California and they basically showed a picture of me with a literal dinosaur and a gun, posing over it like you'd maybe sit with like, you know, a deer you just shot.
and literally libs were going crazy that I helped exterminate and make extinct a dinosaur,
like an actual dinosaur that a triceratops, like it's not like you could mix it up with like,
I don't know, a rhino or something, it was a triceratops, it was very clear.
It was like they screenshot one of the things from Jurassic Park, put me in there,
and these people are going nuts.
And they didn't know that a triceratops was extinct So that was actually really funny.
Don Jr.
for VP, please don't make me do it.
Don, what do we do when the dams cheat?
The courts won't help.
I agree with you.
We gotta overwhelm it early.
We gotta sort of, again, we gotta make it too big to rig.
We gotta overcome the fraud, et cetera.
Don, does Josh Hawley have a shot at VP?
I like Josh as a friend.
I like some of the stuff he's done as it relates to tech.
I don't know that he's in the running.
Someone may have talked about it a couple of times, but that's never really been Um, you know, one of the top, uh, contenders.
So, you know, again, you know, a good guy, a young guy, probably has a great future.
You know, not, it's not really part of this VP conversation.
I don't know that it really has been, uh, too much.
Again, everyone, everyone has their comms team sort of leaked certain things like it's like it's real or whatever it may be, but I don't know that that's ever really been, uh, you know, one of the, let's call it top 10 kind of contenders.
Trump and sons, only ones DJT can trust.
Well, I appreciate that, but yeah, like I said, probably not going to happen.
We have a residency issue, uh, you know, amongst other things.
I think, you know, I think if it was me, I think it makes my father, you know, the, the Democrats would work very well to make sure he stays nice and healthy.
Uh, so I don't ever get it because they probably like me even less.
Um, Do you eat elk a lot or venison?
Yeah, I do a lot of hunting.
That's not a surprise, but a lot of times I'll hunt because I actually enjoy just hunting as well.
I'll pay to have stuff processed where it is and give it to hunters feeding the homeless and charities like that.
I'll take what me and my family can eat.
I usually probably hunt more than what we can eat because I actually just enjoy hunting and that's okay.
Uh, but everything always gets eaten and so I'll spend a lot of time, uh, actually donating to those causes and donating it to, you know, the various homeless shelters that'll take, uh, you know, processed elk or venison.
Uh, but yeah, we, I have a whole trunk freezer full of it.
We, we eat a lot of it.
Uh, I, I enjoy it a lot.
Tucker28, I think, listen, that could be great.
Tucker, another very good friend and a great fighter for the cause.
FishinginMontana for Rainbow Trout, PMB97220.
I love it.
I mean, the Big Horn River up there is one of my favorite rivers, you know, anywhere in the West.
Absolutely, absolutely love it.
Just, you know, Montana, you know, big sky country, the small rivers, the big rivers, all of it's great.
So, you know, fly fishing for trout out there.
One of my favorite things to do.
Wizard of Truth, I've asked my question five times.
We are talking about Elk.
Yeah, that's what I was talking about before, Elk.
I mean, you know, I'll group other venison in with that because I think there's, you know, most of it's, you know, relatively similar.
I think Elk's better than some and there's other, you know, access to yours probably better than Elk, etc.
But like, it's all pretty good.
Let's see.
Don, not making us pay for locals to ask questions?
Well, it's a unique week.
We had some craziness going on.
We got a convention, you know, so I wanted to make sure we get through some of this stuff, and I'll get back to locals, you know, next week, and we'll be doing a bunch of that.
Make sure all of those people, and I see some of the people and locals just, I just get familiar with the handles there because that's a much smaller group.
I probably, I think I get that pretty much everyone's question when I do, you know, 15-20 minutes, half hour there.
I think I probably get to everyone there.
So if you're on locals, you know, that's a good way to get me.
Because like I said, I literally, I'm scrolling and I guess there's hundreds of posts and, you know, just trying to scroll down and keep up.
But that's definitely a place, you know, where if you have specific questions or longer ones where it's a little bit easier to read on the fly, you know, I definitely get to.
So... Carrie would be a great VP.
Handles press amazingly.
She's a fighter, that's for sure.
Let's see.
Have I thought of running for president, Mink, in 95-37?
Not really.
I mean, you know, I guess you get involved at a certain level, and I guess maybe it comes up a bit.
I guess in last year, before, you know, sort of everyone formally announced, I know there was a lot of polling that sort of had me You know had me in the top three almost irrespective even with my father in that I was still top three In a lot of sort of the credible sort of national polls, so I guess I guess I've done okay At least certainly with the base, but it was sort of you know my father Is a clear front-runner and then sort of me and DeSantis as like the next two and sort of we flip back and forth and without my father
Uh, you know, I captured a lot of that, and, you know, I was either first or second there for quite some time, and then when everyone made it official, it started spending a lot of money, and they stopped putting me in the polling.
Many of the people didn't love that I was in the polling.
I guess I was the only person that never sort of had or never announced any sort of political aspirations, um, in there.
And, uh, you know, so that was sort of unusual.
Everyone else generally was a sitting senator or someone that had... So, you know, I did pretty well on my own, so I guess...
I'd never thought about it, but other people had thought about it for me, apparently.
So, you know, I guess I'll just take that as one of the great compliments I could imagine.
Because if, you know, great conservative patriots actually thought that, or even thought to put me in the conversation, I consider that just, you know, it's an honor and a true compliment.
So, you never know.
Maybe I have to do it, but we'll see.
Have you ever hunted Alaska?
G-C-H-Y-D-R-O.
I have.
I've hunted Alaska for sheep.
I've hunted bear up there.
I did a lot of salmon fishing all over Alaska.
Actually, in the Canada side, I've done a lot.
British Columbia, Northwest Territories.
The Yukon, I actually have a hunting operation up at the Yukon I'm a partner in, so spent even more time on sort of the Canada side, you know, hunting over there.
So I love it up there.
I mean, that's sort of my favorite place in the world.
Sheep hunting in that crazy terrain and just that great vastness, you know, that's the ultimate for me in terms of hunting because it's, you know, it's not like It's not like the Texas sort of sit over a feeder kind of thing.
You can hike for days and not even see an animal.
As wild and as vast as it is, it's just really rough terrain and rough country.
It doesn't even hold that much animals because of just how rugged it is and how rough the winters are.
But that's the ultimate because half of it, it's not just even hunting.
It's about the physical challenge.
living in that nature and just, you know, I like to get dropped off, you know, backpacking a bow or backpacking a rifle.
And it's like, I'll see you in two weeks.
And that's it's just, that's my favorite thing in the world to do.
So hey, guys, we have over 10k watching right now.
Do me a favor.
Make sure you're liking, sharing and subscribing.
There are 10k watching and not 10k likes.
Let's get those things a little bit more lined up.
That's how we beat the algorithm.
That's how we get other people seeing it.
You know, Share it with your friends because again, once this press guy never half an hour late already.
I'll just keep yakking.
I don't even care.
But I wonder if you think it's delayed because they just they can't get Joe in a state where I'm going to scroll down the bottom.
What do you guys think of this?
Do you?
Do you think they just can't get Joe quite ready to get out there for himself?
This is another one.
Have you hunted, like, have I, I guess, have you completed a grand slam of sheep?
And the answer is no.
I've got two dull, two stone.
I've got a desert.
Probably not going to get another desert again because, you know, I was able to do that in Mexico.
A little hard for me to go to Sonora with the cartels these days.
They don't exactly love us.
I was told, I guess, El Chapo had like a hundred million dollar bounty on my head and some of my family in the past.
I was invited last year and I was like, literally like, I'm gonna go.
I'm just gonna fly in.
A buddy was like, hey, we're gonna fly in private from Texas so we can keep it subtle.
And then I told another friend, they're like, yeah dude, like everyone, like everyone's basically paid by the cartels.
Like, you would be like the world record sheep equivalent for those guys.
Uh, and so...
I'm probably stuck there because it's really going to be hard to draw a desert in any of the southern states where you have it.
So the one I am missing is the Rocky Mountain.
So if you guys have someone that wants to figure out how I can actually draw a Rocky Mountain tag, you let me know.
Because that's what I need.
Because that's sort of one of the ultimate sort of, for me, just because You know, I'm sort of a sheep hunter by heart.
And that's that that mountain kind of hunting that rough, really hard terrain stuff is my thing.
You guys let me know.
So I'm one short of that slam.
And if I if I pulled that off, and you know, I could I could get to a couple slams pretty quickly because of the because of that.
Don't you can your dad carry his own golf bag? He can. He certainly can. You saw the other night,
this was a funny clip from the rally down in Miami. My father challenged Joe Biden to take
him up on that round of golf. And he said for he would if Joe Biden beats him, he
He will donate $1 million to the charity of Joe Biden's choice.
And he would give him 10 strokes aside.
10 strokes aside.
So 20 strokes total.
More than a stroke a hole.
And Joe Biden still hasn't commented or responded.
So it's apparently Apparently, Joe does not think he can pull that one off.
Like, I don't even play golf, honestly.
Like, I would probably take that bet, because 20 strokes?
I mean, that's a lot of strokes.
That's a lot of strokes.
Don Junior, no such thing as too big to rig.
Stop kidding yourself.
Oh, I'm not kidding myself.
Like I said, I'd still say, you know, I'd still say, even with all of this stuff, because of that, it's 50-50, but that's why we have to get in the game.
That's why we have to be involved.
We can't just say, oh, yeah, the poll says we're winning.
No, no, no.
Every single one we got to do.
Where's the best snorkeling in Florida?
Honestly, I don't do a lot of snorkeling.
I've done some free diving, used to do a lot of scuba diving, but deeper stuff.
So where I live is actually a great reef, you know, that whole area around.
I'm in Jupiter, but a little south of us in Palm Beach, some of the best sort of like natural reef structure in sort of the lower 48 before you get to the island.
So there's actually some really good scuba diving around here.
You know, my kids are certified to do a lot of that.
Not as much great sort of shallow stuff around here.
That's probably, you know, that's a lot better in the Bahamas.
There's some stuff probably in the Keys.
I just don't know it all that well.
Let's see...
How awesome is Alina Haba in real life?
Alina's great.
She's become a good friend.
Funny, witty.
Alina's great.
I was with her the other night down at the Rally in Miami and the whole team, so she's been good.
Oh, I got all sorts of crap.
I guess she cut her foot on some glass.
Alina, she cut her foot on some glass.
Hey, everything's gram-worthy these days, so it ended up on Instagram, and I, you know, I commented.
I was like, hey, these screenshots are going big on, like, you know, some, you know, adult foot fetish websites or whatever it is, and then everyone's like, ah, you're flirting!
I'm like, I don't know, man.
I think I'm pretty clear that I'm just breaking balls, but, uh, you know, what?
What can you do?
So the liberals were saying that I was like, you know, inappropriate with this.
It's like, I don't know guys, I literally put it on Instagram in like the private comments.
It's not like this is a screenshot of like a DM or some nonsense.
Like, give me a break.
But uh, but we had a laugh about that one.
So let's see.
Have you eaten bear?
Yes.
Yeah, bear can actually be good.
Like, you know, you gotta You gotta take a little bit more time in preparation, almost like pork.
Like, you don't want to eat, like, you know, medium-rare bear.
That's not good.
They carry, like, they'll carry trichinosis and some of the other things that you can get from, like, pork, basically.
It's almost like in the same family.
But bear meat itself is actually, you know, better than most.
There's a lot of people that, you know, don't really like it.
And there's, frankly, places where there's just a lot of them.
But no, I actually do like bear meat.
Have you ever hunted or fished in Idaho?
You would love it.
I have.
I've fished, I guess, the Salmon River in Idaho in the past, a long time ago.
I hunted elk there two years ago.
So, yeah, no, I've had some great times in Idaho.
When I graduated college, I literally got in my car like a week after graduation, drove out west, moved to Colorado.
I worked in a bar for a year.
That was an amazing conversation with my father.
You can imagine how that went over.
But like, I literally, you know, I hunted and fished every day.
I worked at night so I could do that, you know.
Took a month off.
I'd go to Africa and just literally, you know, with like some buddies that were South African that, you know, live there and, uh, you know, lived out of the back of a truck for six weeks, like in the African back country, did that a couple of times.
Like, so yeah, no, I, I really like, uh, all of that, uh, outdoor stuff.
I just, I was more familiar with Colorado.
I went there a lot growing up, but like Idaho, all those places, you know, Idaho, Montana, probably better, especially because of the political views that didn't matter as much 20 years ago.
Although it was interesting.
Um, You know, I was out in Colorado with my daughter.
We do, like, a daddy-daughter ski trip every year, and this was out back, I guess, it was in March, and, like, I was in Aspen, like, a ski town, because we're going on a ski trip, so it was a little different, and, you know, bringing your daughter, and, you know, nice food.
We're not gonna sleep in the back of a truck or anything like that.
We're gonna try to do it nice for her, and, uh, I was amazed, like, even the place, like, super liberal Aspen, uh, the amount of people, like, screaming, like, across, like, Maga, you gotta win this thing!
It was, uh, It was a pretty amazing in a town that I was like that I thought when like full libtard It was sort of telling us it was one of those places like you go.
It's almost like you know in New York City like if you go If you go into those places, you realize, wait a minute, it's not as bad as I thought.
All of the restaurant owners and the waiters and the staff that understand what it's like to work for a living, just super supportive.
I was like, I'm not sure I'll be able to get a dinner reservation or not even a little bit.
It was sort of amazing.
To me, it was a great talisman of what was going on perhaps around the rest of the country.
So guys, it's 7.05.
We've been going for an hour.
Still no Biden.
Hit, let's do another poll, yeah.
Hit one, hit one if you think he even shows up, or two if you think he's a no-show and they call it.
I'm actually curious, do you think he just doesn't show?
Hit one if you think he shows up, two if you think he's a no-show, and just, you know, sort of de facto quits, quits on us.
Two, two, oh, a lot of twos.
A lot of seven.
He made a two in his pants.
Listen, I mean, I'd say that's as likely as anything.
I would not.
We discussed, you know, Whoopi Goldberg's like, hey, she's okay with a president who craps his pants.
You know, that was last week.
Or I guess, no, I guess we discussed that on Monday.
A lot going on, right?
Conventions next week.
Been trying to figure out speeches.
A lot of twos.
So, wow, no one thinks he's a show.
That's interesting.
Glaro Q84.
Aspen!
Like, I'm talking about a little place called Aspen.
Like, the Dumb and Dumber thing.
Yeah, there.
But that is where I went out after, you know, worked in a bar there for a year and a half right out of college and just, great experience.
Talk about triggering the left-tards.
Make Don Jr.
his dad's VP pick.
That would be a triggering event, that's for sure.
The meds are not working for Beijing Biden.
The Truth Seeker USA, that couldn't be true.
I mean, what time is it supposed to be?
It was supposed to be at 630.
So you're 40 minutes late.
I mean, that's pretty late.
And like, that's the thing with Joe Biden, like every minute that's later is like, That's like exponential.
You know, we're now way past bedtime, right?
We're over three hours past when his own staff said he's able to function reasonably well.
You saw that one last week, you know, between the hours of 10 and 4.
I just truly hope our enemies weren't watching that so they don't decide to, like, hit us during happy hour at 5 because, you know, Joe Biden will be out.
I mean, Isn't it past his bedtime?
It feels like it.
It feels like it.
But, you know, hey, this is the big boy presser, so he may he may drag this in.
Maybe we go to eight.
Nice place for a rally, Aspen.
I don't know about a rally, but it's interesting.
I know a lot of people there, and a lot of that was always Democrat money.
It's obviously a super wealthy town, whatever it may be, but those guys are coming around.
Don Jr., you're a great man.
Good father.
You're their kids.
Well, I try.
I try.
Deanna H6651, I'm loving the regular Don at bar conversation.
That's interesting.
Well, listen, if you guys give me those questions, I don't care.
We don't have to talk about politics.
If you guys are interested, I'll talk about it all.
You know, now I'm just killing time.
If it wasn't for the fact that we're waiting for this, I'd say, hey, we can go.
I wouldn't mind having dinner.
I haven't even eaten yet today.
I've been too busy.
So, let's see.
Okay.
Nerf Hatchet pulled him out.
Yeah, that's like, yeah, there's Ratchet, but that's Jill Biden right now, and Hunter's running the show, so that's an interesting... Is he late because they're changing his depends?
Quite possibly.
Quite possibly.
What are we pulling up now?
Oh, you put...
All right, think about this.
Now we're gonna start a conspiracy theory, folks.
Joe Biden's own campaign account put out the thing where he called Zelensky Putin.
Like, are they self-sabotaging it?
Like, has his campaign even had enough?
Is the campaign saying, hey, we're throwing in the towel, we're gonna throw Joe under the bus, and that's amazing.
You guys, okay, you can see it.
Wow, I mean, the Biden-Harris, HQ, it should be low IQ, but President Biden, ladies and gentlemen, he's going to beat Putin.
Zelensky, I'm better, but they put out the clip.
I can't believe it.
They're throwing him under the bus, his own campaign.
Listen, you know the guy's not doing, like with Trump.
You can tell when it's his own truth.
You know what I mean?
It's like, ah, that's him, because he probably couldn't pay anyone else to put some of that content out.
In this case, wow.
They're trying to self-sabotage it.
That's amazing.
Wow.
Huh.
Let's see.
Well, listen, you're right.
It's close to his bedtime with every passing minute.
Had to get the Parkinson's doctor over for a last-minute cognitive test.
No, they're not gonna do the cognitive test because his doctor is actually, as we discussed on Monday, his doctor is actually a business partner with the Bidens.
Now, the Bidens have no actual businesses that aren't tied to, you know, selling access to Joe and to government.
Like, it's all influence peddling, right?
So, you think the doctor's gonna say, this guy can't Isn't fit?
No.
Like his entire, that entire partnership is dependent on Joe Biden sitting there.
Whether he's actually with it or not doesn't matter.
As long as they can sell it, you know, they have a business.
The second that's no longer saleable, they got no business.
And so, um, it's pretty bad.
R. Cody, Tennessee loves you, Don Jr.
Thank you.
Saintfan20, he went to the wrong venue.
By the way, that's probably true.
Let's see.
A lot of Tulsi for VP here.
I don't know if that's the same person over and over, but I keep seeing it.
Yeah, oh, Willie.
Yeah, it's okay.
It's the, well, it's definitely a little bit of spammy, but no, there's others that have it too, so.
That's interesting.
Ginger277, thanks for the live show, Don.
It's my pleasure, guys.
Honestly, sometimes this is actually easier than doing a regular show and sort of prepping and clipping clips and like, actually, like, this is easy.
I'm bullshitting.
I just, I talk, right?
It's a, it's a, if that gets hard, we got, we got bigger problems.
Uh, I ain't Joe Biden.
Uh, now one day I may be, but if one day I get to that point, I also won't try to run the countries.
Um.
Something about Aspen has lefties there.
There's a lot of lefties in Aspen, but that was my point.
Like, I was there on vacation.
I went, I was out there very publicly.
I took my daughter shopping a bunch, like for, you know, stuff for her.
And then, you know, sometimes my daughter actually spent a lot of time shopping for me with my money because she's in high school.
But like, she was like, basically, Dad, you dress like a 46-year-old frat boy.
Like, you know, I still have my...
T-shirts from college and stuff.
So she's like, we got to change some of this.
I can, you know, I can sort of wear a suit or I can go super casual, but there was nothing in between.
So we, she was doing this.
So I was going in, you know, these stores that was probably not.
And again, I was amazed at sort of, uh, I was amazed at, uh, what was going on.
What was sort of funny was though, the second she did actually dress me and I wasn't wearing like my normal, like jeans and a flannel shirt.
And I was dressed again, not, not even fancy, but like, uh, Yeah, a lot of the, the, let's call it the, you know, my age women around Aspen started literally just flagrantly hitting on me in front of my daughter.
She was laughing her butt off about that.
She's like, see what I mean?
I was like, not that I need this.
I, this is not, I don't need that headache.
But, but it was sort of funny that the second I dressed perhaps a little bit more appropriately or dressed the way A woman would want me to dress as opposed to the way I usually dress.
It was like a switch turn.
So Kim will kill me later on for saying that.
But it's okay.
It's a true story and it was kind of funny and I'm pretty sure I told her that but my daughter had a lot of laughs about that one because it was candidly pretty darn funny.
Um, it was really, like, embarrassing.
I'm sitting there, like, walking around with my daughter and, like, just getting, like, stopped and, like, hit on.
It was pretty funny.
So she's like, see, I told you.
I was like, I need this, like, a hole in my head.
But, uh, let's see.
Duh-duh-duh-duh-duh, Don Jr., you're a good man.
At least sometimes.
Most of the left would not agree with me.
Or with you on that one, but that's okay.
I don't have to.
They still think Hunter Biden is a good man, and they think Joe Biden is a good man, and
neither of those things are true.
Again, just because Joe is old and infirm doesn't make him a good man.
He's been a piece of garbage for quite a long time.
Just look at most of what he's said throughout his career.
Other than that Anthony Aaron Don Jr. frat boy, lol.
Listen, there was a time.
There was a time.
And it's interesting watching some of the frat boys come out and save our country and protect our flag.
You know, it could be a frat boy summer.
So, you know what?
Hey, I didn't have them saving the republic, but, you know, I don't know.
They seem to get it better than most.
So I'm happy to, I guess I was one at one point in time.
And if I am still a little bit, I'm okay with that.
Happy to embrace most of it.
Though I'm not going through hazing anymore because I figure my whole life is getting hazed right now by these sociopaths on the left.
So, we shall see.
Would you run for president in 28 again?
I answered that earlier, so you guys can check on my response to that so I don't repeat myself to those who were paying attention or who have been tuned in for an hour and 15 minutes now.
Are we getting any news or anything even on Twitter?
7.30?
Jesus.
Okay.
Do you guys want me to stay on for that long and comment for another... Okay.
Do you want me to stay on and forego dinner?
It's not that my fat ass couldn't lose a couple of pounds, so I don't necessarily know if I mind missing dinner, but he's gonna be an hour late.
They're now saying 7.30.
You want me to stay on and give the live commentary?
And we listen in?
I guess I gotta watch it anyway, right?
So that's 15 minutes from now.
I gotta watch it anyway.
Snack, yeah.
Would you appreciate if I just had my dinner right here with you?
You guys can comment on my manners and my etiquette.
I know that someone would certainly criticize something I do on here as it relates to that, but no, go eat.
Eat dinner on camera.
Stay, stay, yes, stay, eat dinner.
He ain't coming.
Yeah, DoorDash.
Get Kimberly to come on.
Could do that.
Stay on and eat dinner.
Go eat some and come back.
Yeah, but I can't, like, how many people we have?
We still have 10,000 on?
So we got 10,000 people on it.
11,000 now, so maybe it's even building.
That's interesting.
Hey, okay, so that's a question.
It's interesting, when I stay on long, and it's sort of unusual, I was actually talking to the guys at Rumble, they were like, you're one of the few guys that sort of, you know, most people get a thing and then you lose people.
I tend to build as I go later.
Is that simply a, is six o'clock Eastern, is that just too early a start time?
Or my team's like, oh great, we gotta stay later.
But now, okay, this is a good one.
Is 6 p.m., is it too early to start?
Would you rather start at 7 or 8 and just go longer and later?
Does it pick up maybe West Coast better or something like that?
What do you guys think?
For West Coast, it's too early.
I don't know, I get this a lot.
I don't know.
You know, my thing is this.
It's hard.
You gotta remember, like, this isn't necessarily my day job.
Like, I love doing it.
I love talking.
I love, you know, but like, you know, there's days where I could start at, like, 6 a.m., whether it's doing TV or whatever it may be or international calls or whatever it is, and it's like, you get to, like, 8, 9 p.m., and it's like, I'm not Joe Biden, I'm confident, I'm clear, but like, you don't necessarily have the energy to, you know, after, let's call it a 12 hour day, to then get on and entertain for two hours.
So, yeah, that's interesting.
I didn't know the time, you like six, six is good.
Great time for Australia.
Australia, I love you.
There's some great praises for Australia.
I am not gonna, yeah.
I'm not doing reverse schedules for Australia.
That ain't happening.
But I do love you guys and appreciate it.
There's a lot of you guys that actually chime in on here, so it's good.
I think you guys understand the threat of what's going on right now.
Elijah Fair, LOL Lightweight.
Yeah.
It's hard after 14 hours to be really super enthusiastic about doing two more hours of TV and being not Joe Biden.
I don't know.
I'm not buying that.
But Leslie P, 7.30 or 8.
Should I stay or should I go now?
It's a song lyric, but no, I'll stay on.
I'll stay on.
If you guys want the commentary, it seems like you want it.
I gotta listen to it too, because I'm curious.
I can incorporate some material into my speech next weekend.
So next week I'm speaking I think like 9 o'clock Central Time though, right?
So is that 10 o'clock East Coast?
9 o'clock Central Time.
See, that's gonna be one of those where I'm gonna get up at 6 a.m.
I'm gonna be doing press and I gotta speak to like, you know, millions of people watching on TV live and bang out like a more serious speech.
So that's when it can be one of those days.
So you guys can tell me if I fail miserably or not.
But like, you know, to do that a couple times a week can be rough.
Let's see.
Your show is the same time as War Room?
No, it's not.
War Room's early in the day.
What are you talking about?
I think they just play it over, but I think I'm supposed to host War Room one day next week, by the way.
Obviously, they put Steve Bannon in prison for four months because they're sociopaths that will jail their political opponents, but we'll see.
Someone... I don't know, this guy's an idiot, but apparently I'm not America first according to Ejack H. Truly, that would be a first.
That would be a first that I've heard that.
That's kind of amazing.
Let's see.
Favorite band of all time.
Ooh!
Ooh!
Wow.
So, it's interesting.
I sort of have a really, really eclectic sort of music taste, a little bit of everything, probably diverge more towards classic rock, although these days it's probably more alt rock, which is basically like 90s alt rock is like becoming classic rock.
And there's some guys sort of starting new stuff with that.
I'd probably say favorite of all time is probably, you know, honestly, it's probably Pink Floyd.
And I have a funny story about that one.
So my brother and I share almost like identical music tastes, Eric.
I guess Pink Floyd was doing this like tour or whatever and I'd seen him a bunch of times or whatever, but he goes like a couple years ago, I think when my father was president, he goes to the concert and he tweets about it and he's like, I have Pink Floyd and I guess one of the band members, not like a real like original band member, but like one of the guys they got to fill in for something or whatever it is.
So like, you know, kind of fake Pink Floyd band member, I guess saw it and replied back like, wish you weren't here.
To my brother Eric, and I was like, you know what?
That's pretty funny.
The left is not usually very funny.
That was pretty funny.
So I try not to get too involved in a lot of like, you know, the bands or whatever that I loved, you know, into their politics because, you know, you just don't want that getting in the way of like, I can still appreciate good music, but...
I don't know.
That was kind of funny.
Clearly, you know, a bunch of lesbians.
Roger Waters is out of his mind.
Like, you know, seems like anti-Semite.
So I don't appreciate his political views at all.
I think he's probably bordering on sociopathic, but he's a talented musician.
And so that's still, it's up there, but you know, there, there's so many that I like, but again, with, with eclectic taste, but you know, that, that of all time, that could be it.
Um, so we'll see.
Let's see.
Pardon Steve Bannon Snowden, day one of Orange Man's second term.
I agree with that.
Man, I think you guys are going strong.
Let's see.
When is the golf match between Biden and your dad?
Listen, my dad just offered him a million dollars to the charity of his choice.
He doesn't have to pay a million dollars to anything.
He's only paying himself and his family.
We understand that.
With 20 strokes.
I mean, that's a big deal.
20 strokes.
Right?
Golf's an 18-hole game.
You give someone 20 strokes, they should take it.
If Joe Biden's a 6, and he's getting 20 strokes, and even if you assume my father at 76 is a scratch, that means you're giving him 14 strokes on what would otherwise be a net game?
Like, take it!
Dave Portnoy, I think, did a good one on that one.
Be like, you gotta take it!
You gotta do it!
You gotta call him out.
I think you could give Joe Biden 40 strokes and he ain't taking it.
Because, let's just say, Joe Biden ain't getting it in.
Average course, what?
Par 72, 40 strokes on top of that, 112, zero chance Joe pulls that off.
Zero chance Joe pulls that off.
So, I don't think it's ever gonna happen, unfortunately.
Yeah, JoeThePlumber81, Roger Waters is a talented musician, but an idiot.
I think that's fair.
Again, it's sort of like George Clooney.
George Clooney, I can say he's a talented actor, I guess.
I don't remember.
He's had a couple good movies, I guess.
Beyond sort of just the Hollywood-y stuff, but like, this guy's just a liberal activist.
Dude, this is a shilling of this.
He raised $30 million for Joe Biden, a fundraiser, a couple weeks ago, and yesterday he comes out.
It's time to change!
I'm like, really?
What?
Like, you didn't realize he was an idiot last week?
When you...
When you did these things?
So, who knows?
Big Mike or Michelle, you know?
Many have said, this is not me because I would never say something like this, but many have said they are one and the same, but I would never say something like that because it's totally, it's totally inappropriate.
$1,000,000 to Hunter's charity, yeah, exactly.
I bet you I could get my dad to be like, if Joe Biden says yes, 20 strokes, 10 a side, $1,000,000 just to Hunter Biden, because that's what the Biden family does, I can make that happen if Joe says yes.
Just let me know.
Clooney equals looney.
He does.
But that's all of Hollywood.
You know, whether it's a pedo ring or otherwise, like it's all, these people are insane and they just don't live in the real world, they don't understand it.
And I get where I come from guys, so I'm not pretending that I haven't been anything but blessed, but man, they don't understand it even a little bit, you know?
These guys, you know, they see themselves and they think they're brilliant and they're this and they give themselves awards and they keep feeding that ego that it's just, it's pretty sad.
A wise man once said, sad.
De Niro was a good actor once yeah, he was a great actor once like I and by the way
That's the thing when he does all this things like hey did the Trumps were like just so we're clear like I said
There's a couple weeks ago like Robert De Niro's son literally introduced me to my wife like the mother of my
five children like It's not like we didn't know each other like it's so it's
it's sort of funny But you know hey if you're a liberal and they put you on TV
I guess you disavow and pretend that none of these things happen. That's okay
That's honestly that was the nice thing about politics people like isn't that terrible. I know it's cathartic
It's so nice like you know if you have people that are like fake friends, or they could
Like I've ever been quiet about like what I believe in and all these things like everyone knows and everyone knew
But like it when those people are like they disavow it It's nice.
You said you start with a clean slate You know you get rid of all the nonsense and it's like that's that lunch that you don't have to have a Couple times a year or you know once a year with the friend that you don't really care about it It's you know it's like Facebook, right?
It's like Great for keeping in touch with people you don't really want to keep in touch with.
Otherwise, there's better ways.
So, you know, we'll see.
Teleprompters on stage.
Why?
Well, Joe Biden's going to need a teleprompter, right?
No one's pretending he's not going to do it with a teleprompter, but we're going to get started.
Okay.
Hey, let's go over there.
I'll keep yakking along the way.
They're going to roll out Joe.
This could be interesting.
You are appreciated, Zahara228.
Thank you, Zav.
Wow, some of you guys' handles are hard to read, man, when it's like, it's weird.
Guy.
It was a great success.
It's a special momentous because it represented the 75th year of the most important military defense alliance in the history of the world.
We should never forget that NATO grew out of the wreckage of World War II, the most destructive war in history.
The idea was to create an alliance of free and democratic nations that would commit themselves to a compact of collective defense.
One, if Joe Biden reads end of quote or pause for applause.
Two, if he gets through it.
And it's worked.
Because a would-be aggressor knows if they attack one of us, they'll be attacked by all of us.
Sending that message is the best way to deter aggression and prevent wars in the first place.
For those who thought NATO's time had passed, they got a rude awakening when Putin invaded Ukraine.
Some of the oldest and deepest fears in Europe roared back to life.
Because once again, a murderous madman was on the march.
We'll give him time.
No one cowered in appeasement, especially the United States.
We collected intelligence that Russia was planning to invade Ukraine months before the
invasion.
I directed the intelligence community to be declassified so I could start building an
international coalition of police.
I warned the world that the invasion was imminent.
reading prepared remarks so maybe that's the best we're gonna get. Hopefully he'll
ask them. I warned the world that the invasion was imminent.
Someone may have been right. This could rally the coalition of 15 nations
from Europe to Asia to help Ukraine defend itself. My foreign policy, many foreign
policy experts thought as Putin amassed Russian forces just 100 miles north of Kiev.
Do you think they have pre-rigged questions and maybe the teleprompter so they can put the answers into the teleprompter for those questions?
And that's why they're doing the kind of intro because otherwise you wouldn't have this in a press conference necessarily.
With Ukrainian people backed by a coalition to help build, stop them.
Today, Kyiv still stands.
And NATO stands stronger than it has ever been.
During the week of this summit, several heads of state made it a point in their statements to thank the United States, and to thank me personally, for all that NATO has achieved.
NATO is not only stronger, NATO is bigger, because we led the charge to bring in Finland and Sweden into the alliance.
And it makes a gigantic difference.
Excuse me.
Meanwhile, my predecessor has made it clear he has no commitment to NATO.
He's made it clear that he would feel no obligation to honor Article 5.
He's already told Putin, and I quote, do whatever the hell you want.
In fact, the day after Putin invaded Ukraine, here's what he said.
It was genius.
It was wonderful.
Somebody forgot that, but that's exactly what he said.
Don't forget, Joe Biden and his people gave Vladimir Putin every excuse he needed to invade Ukraine by offering to bring him into NATO and all of these nonsense.
That was always the red line, but no one's going to ask that question tonight.
I remind all Americans, Article 5 has been revoked only once in NATO's long history, and that was to defend America after 9-11.
I made it clear that I will not bow down to Putin.
I will not walk away from Ukraine.
I will keep NATO strong.
That's exactly what we did, and exactly what we'll continue to do.
Now, the future of American policy is up to the American people.
This is much more than a political question.
It's more than that.
It's a national security issue.
Don't redo this to the usual testament.
That people talk about the issues of being a political campaign.
It's far too important.
It's about the world we live in for decades to come.
Every American must ask herself or himself.
This is a very, very canned neocon speech right now.
Is your family safer?
I believe the American people know The answer to all those questions is yes.
Your family is not safer, Joe.
No one can believe, like, crime statistics are up through the roof, except the FBI doesn't report on that anymore.
The illegals are murdering people on a daily basis.
Wars are breaking out all over the world.
Literally, no one can believe you're safer.
Give me a break.
We cannot retreat from the world.
We must lead the world.
We are an indispensable nation, as Madeleine Albright wrote.
Let me turn to three other key issues.
Just this morning, we had a great economic report showing inflation is down.
Overall, prices fell last month.
Core inflation is the lowest it's been in three years.
Prices are falling for cars, appliances, and airfares.
Grocery prices have fallen since the start of the year.
Since the start of the year?
Where are they since the start of your presidency, Joe?
They'll take two cents and they'll take it like they did something.
Including food from overseas, vegetables, and other necessities.
And economists tell us that that would cost the average American working family another $2,500 a year.
It's a tax of $2,500 a year.
Second, our efforts to secure the border, southern border, is working.
After Trump killed the bipartisan effort to secure the border, Republicans and Democrats had worked on, because he thought it would benefit me and make him a loser, Republicans walked away.
So I took executive action last month.
As a consequence, working with Mexico, border encounters have gone down over 50 percent.
It sounds like he may be staying.
It doesn't sound like he's leaving.
Um... I... I think that's wonderful!
What do you guys think?
It sounds like he may be staying.
It doesn't sound like he's leaving.
Um...
I...
I think that's wonderful.
What do you guys think?
Is he staying in this race?
was endorsed by the UN Security Council.
Of course he's lying.
They take, you know... Gas prices came down because they dropped one cent.
They're still $4, but, you know, there wasn't the $1.89 when Trump left, but it came down since, you know, we last measured, and therefore we've lowered them.
They take, you know, gas prices came down because they dropped one cent.
They're still $4, but you know, there wasn't a $1.89 when Trump left, but it came down
since we last measured, and therefore we've lowered them.
Like, give me a break.
You know, Joe, doing a better job of reading a speech than I thought he would.
This moment matters. We must rise to meet it. With that, I'll take your questions.
Peter O'Donnell doing a better job at reading a speech than I thought he would.
Yeah.
It's true.
These have to be pre-rigged questions because he just called, you know, it's hard to see
people in the stands there and actually call them out by name.
So there's no way that's not something that's already in the prompter.
George Clooney and a handful of lawmakers have called on you to step aside.
Reuters is reporting tonight that UAW leadership is concerned about your ability to win.
UAW just endorsed me, but go ahead.
fifth of the year ago and he's got a new job. I'm going to start there. Number
one. The fact is that. The consideration. Is that I think I'm the most qualified person to run for president. I.
I beat him once and I will beat him again.
Secondly, the idea... He's reading notes.
Look at where he's looking now.
The idea that senators and congressmen running for office Don't worry about the ticket.
It's not unusual.
And I might add, there are at least five Presidents running or incumbent Presidents who had lower numbers than I have now.
Later in the campaign.
So there's a long way to go in this campaign.
And so I, uh, I'm just going to keep moving, keep moving.
And because look, I got more work to do.
We've got more work to finish.
There's so much, we made so much progress.
Think about it.
Think about it.
Hit one.
If you think he stays.
Name me a world leader who wouldn't want to trade places with our economy.
We've created over 800,000 manufacturing jobs.
1.5 million.
He let people go back to work after COVID.
That's not job creation, Joe.
Working class people still have need help.
Corporate greed is still at large.
Their prices, the corporate profits have doubled since the pandemic.
They're coming down.
And so I'm optimistic about where things are going.
Danny Kemp, AFP.
Thanks.
Thank you, Mr. President.
I wanted to ask you about your mixed-up President Zelensky and Putin earlier today.
And you now have sort of your key allies including the British Prime Minister, the President of France and the German Chancellor having to step in and make excuses for you on that.
Officials here are saying off the record that your decline has become noticeable.
Hasn't this now frankly become damaging for America's standing in the world?
Thank you.
Did you see any damage to our standing in my leading this conference?
Have you seen a more successful conference?
What do you think?
And the Putin piece, I was talking about Putin, and I said, and now, at the very end, I said, here, I mean, Putin, I said, no, I'm sorry, Zelensky.
And then I added five other names.
Look, guys, the idea, anybody suggests that we haven't had an incredibly successful conference.
How many times did you hear in that conference?
I know it sounds too self-serving, but other leaders, heads of state, in thanking me, saying the reason we're together is because of Biden, because Biden did the following.
Look, folks, this is a. Well, anyway, I here we go.
A successful conference I've attended a long time and find me a world leader who didn't think it was Next one.
Sorry.
Nancy Cordes.
CBS.
Thank you, Mr. President.
You mentioned other instances in history where presidents have faced a challenge.
But what makes this moment in history so unique is that it is not your enemies who are calling on you to reconsider your decision to stay in the race.
It's your friends, supporters, people who think you've done a great job over the past four years.
Have you spent time thinking about what it would mean for your legacy, which you've worked decades to build, if you stay in the race Despite the concerns that voters say they have, and you lose to someone who you yourself have argued is unfit to return to the Oval Office.
Look, Joe's own DOJ says he's unfit to stand trial for his crimes.
Just so we're clear.
I'm in this to complete the job I started.
As you recall, understandably, many of you and many economists thought my initial initiatives that I put forward can't do that.
It's going to cause inflation.
Things are going to skyrocket.
The debt's going to go up.
I like VP Trump, I mean...
From mainstream economists.
16 economic Nobel lawyers said I've done a hell of a job.
And under my plans so far and what's going to happen in the future if I reelected,
that things are going to get much better.
Our economy is growing.
I was determined when I got elected to stop the trickle-down economic theory.
When did the drugs wear off, guys?
How long does this go, and when did the drugs wear off?
He's 10 minutes in.
Does he call it early?
How long do you think it goes for?
He wants Don Jr.
for VP.
Maybe that's what he meant.
And so what happened is, I decided to implement, was able to implement as president, what I believed when I was a senator.
And that is that the way to build this economy is from the middle out and the bottom up.
That way, we grow the economy.
And the wealthy still do very well.
They do fine.
And guess what?
Five million economists, mainstream economists, have said we haven't done well.
What have we not done that isn't working right now?
And so, we've got more to do, though.
We've got to finish the job.
And by the way, I come from the corporate state of the world.
Delaware has more corporations registered in Delaware than every other state in the nation combined.
I'm not anti-corporate, but corporate profits have doubled since the pandemic.
Doubled.
It's time things get back in order a little bit.
It's time, for example, if I'm re-elected, we're going to make sure that rents are kept at 5% increase.
Corporate rents for apartments and the like, and homes, are limited to 5%.
We're going to make a lot of changes.
Why didn't he do that already?
He's been there for three and a half years.
Why didn't he do it already?
Another lie.
Buying votes.
Union, not labor.
Union.
Union.
Well, guess what?
I've been the most pro-union labor president in history.
Not a joke.
And guess what?
We had the Treasury Department do a study.
When unions do better, everybody does better.
Everybody does better.
And we talk about how, for example, when I went, remember when we talked about getting the computer chip industry back in the United States?
Used to be 40% of the industry.
We invented the chip.
40% of the industry was in the United States.
And former presidents decided that the best way to do it was to find the cheapest labor in the world, send the product over there, and import what the product was.
And so, what did I do?
I was told not to go over to Europe, I mean to Asia, including Europe, but Asia.
And I remember going to South Korea, convincing them to invest $20 billion in the United States to build computer chip factories.
And I asked why, when they finally decided to do it.
And the answer was, because you have the safest economy in the world, and you have the best workers in the world.
So the whole idea here is, we've invested over $50 billion in investment in computer chip manufacturing, just coming into being.
None of you thought that would happen.
None of you thought that would happen.
But it's happening.
It's happening.
I think he's cleaning, folks.
Hey, if you're still watching this, make sure you're liking, sharing, subscribing.
Now he's just mumbling, but...
That we can't continue to build and grow the economy, make it fair.
Like I said, from my standpoint, when the middle class does well...
If the economy is so good, type one, if you were better off under Trump, or two, if you're better off now.
I can't imagine anyone actually...
Typing 2, but give me a 1 if you were better off under Trump, or 2, because you're supposed to lie to yourself?
I don't get it.
Not even the trolls are typing 2.
A lot of 1's here.
I don't get it.
...and her accomplishments over the last four years that make her ready to serve on day
one if necessary.
Not even the trolls are typing to.
First of all, the way she's handled the issue of freedom of women's bodies to have control
over their bodies.
Secondly, her ability to handle almost any issue on the board.
A lot of ones here.
This was a hell of a prosecutor.
Holy crap, I can't even keep up with the feed.
She was a first-rate person and in the Senate she was really good.
I wouldn't have picked her unless I thought she was qualified to be president.
From the very beginning.
I made no bones about that.
She is qualified to be president.
That's why I picked her.
Felicia Schwartz, Financial Times.
Thank you, Mr. President.
Presidency is the most straining job in the world, and it's 24-7.
How can you say you'll be up for that next year, in two years, in four years, given the limits you've acknowledged that you have today?
The limits I've acknowledged I have?
There's been reporting that you've acknowledged that you need to go to bed earlier, and you're evening around 8.
That's not true.
He needs nap time.
What I said was, instead of my every day starting at 7 and going to bed at midnight, it'd be smarter for me to pace myself a little more.
And I said, for example, the 8, 7, 6 stuff.
Instead of starting the fundraiser at 9 o'clock, start at 8 o'clock.
People get to go home by 10 o'clock.
That's what I'm talking about.
I'm not talking about it.
And if you look at my schedule since I've, since I made that stupid mistake in the campaign, in the debate.
I don't think he's going anywhere.
It's amazing.
I mean, my schedule has been full bore.
I've done, where's Trump been?
Riding around in his golf cart, filling out his scorecard before he hits the ball.
I mean, look.
Hey, listen.
He's done virtually nothing.
I'm gonna bring back up the golf match.
I don't know how many.
Don't hold me to it.
Roughly 20 major events.
Some of them with thousands of people showing up.
And so, I just think it's better... I always have an inclination, whether I was playing sports or doing politics, just to keep going, not stop.
I just gotta pace myself a little more.
Pace myself.
In the next debate, I'm not going to be traveling in the 15 time zones a week before.
Anyway, that's what it was about.
That's what it was about.
And by the way, even with that, I love my staff.
But they add things.
Add things all the time.
Very add.
I'm catching hell from my wife for that.
Anyway.
Let him stay.
I'm sorry, uh, Zeke Miller, Associated Press.
Thank you, Mr. President.
Two questions for you.
First, on the NATO summit, President Zelensky, in your meeting with him, he pressed you to lift your limitations on the Ukrainian use of American weapons, saying that, in his public remarks afterwards, saying that Ukraine cannot win the war unless those limitations are lifted.
Are you reconsidering your position on that?
And then secondly, following up on Felicia's question there, leaders of your own party have said First thing about Zelensky asking for the ability to shrink deep into Russia.
they're worried about the next bad night and the bad night after that. How can you reassure
the American people that you are up to the task and that there won't be more bad nights
at a debate stage or somewhere else?
First thing about Zelensky asking for the ability to shrink deep into Russia. We've
allowed Zelensky to use American weapons in the near term and the near abroad into Russia.
Bye.
Whether or not he has, he should be attacked, for example.
Should Zelensky, he's not.
If he had the capacity to strike Moscow, strike the Kremlin, would that make sense?
It wouldn't.
The question is, what's the best use of the weaponry he has?
The weaponry we're getting to him.
I've gotten a more long-range capacity, as well as defensive capacity.
And so, our military is where I'm following the advice of my Commander-in-Chief, the Chief of Staff of the military, as well as the Secretary of Defense and our intelligence people.
And we're making a day-to-day basis on what they should and shouldn't do, how far they should go in.
That's a logical thing to do.
Second question related to... Bad nights.
Bad nights, sir.
How can you reassure the American people that you won't have more bad nights, whether they be on a debate stage or it's a matter of foreign policy?
Well, I'll tell you what.
The best way to assure them is the way I assure myself.
And that is, am I getting the job done?
Am I getting the job done?
Can you name me somebody who's gotten more major piece of legislation passed in three and a half years?
I created 2,000 jobs just last week.
So if I slow down, I can't get the job done.
That's a sign that I shouldn't be doing it.
But there's no indication of that yet.
None.
What do we got here?
Uh, Merrick, Pulaski Radio.
Thank you, Mr. President.
How are you?
I'm well.
The elections in the U.S.
have consequences around the world.
You have pretty high standing in Europe.
I just asked President Macron about you and he said we are happy to have him as the President of the United States.
But there is a concern.
Many people in Poland and across Europe are worried that the former president may win the election.
And there's a lot of concerns that Donald Trump may weaken NATO, stop supporting Ukraine, or push Ukraine to give up territories to Russia.
They're correct.
And you yourself was warning just two minutes ago about it.
So my question is, Do you think that Europe will be left on its own if Donald Trump wins the election?
And what's your advice to European leaders to prepare for possible US disengagement?
Well, look... I think... How can I say this without sounding too self-serving?
I've not had any of my European allies come up to me and say, Joe, don't run.
What I hear them say is, you've got to win.
You can't let this guy come forward.
He'd be a disaster.
He'd be a disaster.
I mean, I think he said in one of his rallies, don't hold me to this, recently, where NATO, I just learned about NATO or something to that effect.
Foreign policy has never been his strong point.
And he seems to have an affinity to people who are authoritarian.
Joe started wars.
As I tell you, that worries Europe.
That worries Poland.
And nobody, including the people of Poland, think that if he wins in Ukraine, he's going to stop in Ukraine.
That that's going to be the end of it.
And so, what I can say is, I think I'm the best qualified person to do the job.
To make sure that Ukraine does not fall, that Ukraine succeeds, that the European alliance stays strong.
You may recall, no one was talking about Finland joining NATO.
I remember talking to Putin right after we got elected in Geneva.
And he was talking about what we should do, we couldn't be in Eastern Europe, etc.
And I said, you're looking for the federalization of Ukraine, as you're going to get the natalization of Finland.
He's slow, but he's not.
It's not a total disaster for him, I think.
I think if he wants to stay, he can stay in.
It's going to be hard for these guys just to throw him out on that.
Could he come and see me?
In my office, I invited him to the Oval Office.
We sat down and talked.
He said he wanted to join NATO.
Could I help?
And I did.
It wasn't automatic.
And then I got a call from the Swedes.
I beg your pardon.
And a little warrior. He outlasted my expectation.
Yeah, I'd say so.
I mean, I was thinking, like, debate-level disaster.
I mean, it's clear, you know, he's calling on people.
I think he probably knows what the question is beforehand.
They've kept it different enough that it's, you know, given what's going on in the world, I figured there'd be a lot more of the similar questions.
So, you know, it's definitely staged a little bit.
You know, it's gonna be harder for them just to say, to get him out.
He's slow and lying, but, you know, it's okay.
He's pushing us into war.
because of the joint ability to be together, to dissuade any...
Oh, 100%.
He's taking us into war.
Oh, 100%.
And the same thing with Sweden.
It took a lot of selling to some folks, particularly in Turkey and other places,
to create the expansion.
The only thing Joe did was build back nothing.
I agree with that.
And we're a hell of a lot stronger because of it.
We're more secure because of it.
And by the way, I was able to get 50 other nations, 55-0, to support Ukraine. 50.
We're able to bring about a coalition between, of Europe and Asia, Japan and South Korea.
I just met with, we talked about AUKUS, and we talked about the relationship between Australia, New Zealand, Japan, South Korea, the United States.
We're making the world safer and stronger, because we have to deal with a new arrangement that exists in the world.
The Cold War is over.
The post-war era is over.
What is going to replace it?
And I respectfully suggest I have a pretty good idea what that should be.
I've convinced a lot of people to follow it.
And we're just going to get stronger.
David Sanger.
Where is it?
Thank you, Mr. President.
Be nice, David.
Mr. President, The NATO declaration that was issued yesterday was very notable because it described China as a decisive enabler of the war in Ukraine for its provision of critical goods to the Russians.
That's part of a broader partnership that seems to have cemented in place in the past two or three years.
I think one that you were a little bit doubtful of when we asked you about it some time ago.
So I'd be interested to know whether you have a strategy now of trying to interrupt the partnership between China and Russia, and whether or not, in a second term, you would pursue that, if you could describe that strategy to us.
And along the way, could you also tell us whether you think, just to follow up on Felicia's question, That if you were in a room with Vladimir Putin again the way you were three years ago, or with President Xi, that a few years from now you will be able to go negotiate with them, handle them one-on-one.
Hey guys, who do you think Vladimir Putin would rather be in a room with?
Number one for Joe Biden, number two for Donald Trump.
This one should be interesting.
Would Vladimir Putin rather negotiate with Joe Biden, one, or rather negotiate with Trump, two?
Vladimir Putin is going to eat Joe Biden's lunch in about three seconds.
They're not supplying weapons themselves.
They're supplying mechanisms for them to be able to get weapons.
And China's position is basically, and I've spent more time with Xi Jinping than any world leader has, Over 90 hours since being vice president all the way through.
Yeah, if Putin respects Trump, they can get a deal done.
Although he'd probably want to negotiate against Biden just because you'll get whatever he wants and Biden will probably desperately try to do anything.
I know Putin fears Trump.
You saw that this week, right?
NATO, they're trying to get together.
They want Putin to get to the table now because they don't want to do it under Trump because they realize The money stops then.
...commitments from Europe to do A, B, C, or D, or not to do certain things.
What's happened is we had a long discussion about what we cannot, we have to make clear China has to understand that if they are supplying Russia with information and capacity, along with working with North Korea and others to help Russia in armament, That they're not going to benefit economically as a consequence of that, by getting the kind of investment they're looking for.
And so, for example, we're in a situation where, and we've re-established direct contact with China, after that, remember the balloon, quote-unquote, going down, and all of a sudden things came to an end?
Well, we set up a new mechanism.
There's a direct line between Xi and me, And our military has direct access to one another and they contact one another when we have problems.
The issue is that we have to make sure that she understands there's a price to pay for undercutting both the Pacific Basin as well as Europe and it relates to Russia and dealing with Ukraine.
And so, we, for example, if you want to invest in China, as you know, you know this area really well.
If you want to invest in China, you have to have a 51% Chinese owner, you have to make sure that you do by their rules, and you can't, you don't have the authority, and you have to provide all access to all the data and information you have.
There was a while there, as you recall, in the last administration and other administrations, where the access to that market was enticing enough to get companies to come in because they had access to over a billion people in the market.
Not a billion, but a lot of people in the market.
And so they were doing it.
But that got curtailed when we started saying drugs are wearing off a little bit by the same rules.
For example, The idea they don't abide by the international rules related to subsidizing products by the government funding.
So, guess what?
They're not going to be able to export their electric vehicles to the United States without a significant tariff.
Others are doing the same thing around the world.
But it is a concern.
It is a concern that you have both China, North Korea, Russia, Iran, countries that are not necessarily coordinated in the past, looking to figure out how they can have impact.
Do you have a strategy to interrupt that impact?
Yes, I do, but I'm not prepared to talk about the detail of it in public.
And I think you'll see that some of our European friends Are going to be curtailing their investment in Russia.
I mean, excuse me, in China.
As long as China continues to have this indirect help to Russia.
There we go, folks.
In terms of being able to help their economy, as well as... They're going to call it soon, because he's tapped.
30 minutes in, he's tapped.
In Ukraine.
One, if you think Joe's tapped and goes another 10 minutes, or two, if you think he'd keep going.
One, Joe's tapped.
Two, he keeps going.
More than 10 minutes.
We need a new industrial policy in the West.
For example, we talked about how both the EU as well as NATO Hey guys, if you're new on here, make sure you're liking, sharing, and subscribing as well, okay?
That's a big deal.
Like, share, subscribe.
New viewers right now as we get later in the night. Hey guys if you're new on here
Make sure you're liking sharing and subscribing as well.
Okay, that's a big deal like share subscribe Okay, if you're how can we have 2.1 thousand likes with 17,000
people watching Guys you're killing me
Get almost 18,000 people watching us.
2,000 likes?
systems and so 18,000 people watching this was we're gonna be meeting thousand
like my colleagues my European colleagues is what do we do to increase
the capacity if we get those likes up a lot I'll stay on afterwards and keep
talking but otherwise I'm going to get dinner after this disaster ability to
produce their own weapon systems not just for themselves but to be able to
generate that that's right now he's just going to sort of the the road talking
points it doesn't really have actually all that much to do with the question
but it's a fallback kind of spot is going to become the industrial base for
the ability to have all the defensive weapons that we need that was a
discussion as well I'm not sure you answered on whether you would be ready to...
To go deal with Putin and Xi two or three years from now?
I'm ready to deal with them now and three years from now.
Look, um, the, uh... Yeah, he likes, you know, got a couple, like 400 more likes or 200 more likes, but you guys are killing me.
I'm dealing with Xi right now and direct contact with him.
I have no good reason to talk to Putin right now.
There's not much that, uh, He is prepared to do in terms of accommodating any change in his behavior.
But there isn't any world leader I'm not prepared to deal with.
He was willing to sit at the table like a year and a half ago, but you guys didn't want to do it because you wanted to make more money peddling death.
I'm not ready to talk to Putin unless Putin's ready to change his behavior.
And the idea, look, Putin's got a problem.
First of all, in this war that he is supposedly won, and by the way, I think, don't hold me to that number, I think that in Russia had 70% of the country was taken out, and now it's 74%.
starts getting russian you know fumbly and forgets where he is it's always look
look you can you can hear when you start saying that more now it's wearing off
or I mean in terms of percentage of territory they've not been very
successful They've caused horrible damage and loss of life.
But they've also lost over 350,000 troops, military, killed or wounded.
They've over a million people, particularly young people with technical capability, leaving Russia because they see no future there.
They've got a problem.
But what they do have control of is they are very good at controlling and running the public outcry that relates to how they use mechanisms to communicate with people.
They lie like hell to the constituencies.
They lie like hell about what's going on.
And so the idea that we're going to be able to fundamentally change Russia in the near term is not likely, but one thing for certain.
There is, it's right there.
If we allow Russia to succeed in Ukraine, they're not stopping Ukraine.
I recommend, I know you know this.
Also, by the way, follow me.
If you guys are watching and not following me, make sure you're following so that you can get notifications when I go live next week, especially with the convention.
I'm going to be doing a lot of random stuff live.
Try to sit down with the VP and all this.
So it's going to be random.
That way you get like notifications.
So make sure you guys are following if you're not.
So, you know, like, share, subscribe, follow me if you're not already doing that.
That's a big deal.
I was trying to get him to work on an arms control agreement related to nuclear weapons in space.
That didn't go very far.
So my point is, I'm prepared to talk to anybody, but I don't see any inclination.
There is an inclination on the part of the Chinese to keep in contact with me, because they're not sure where this all goes.
And look what's happened in Asia.
We have strengthened the Asian Pacific area more than anyone else has.
We, you know, we just put together with, today we had, I brought on, I asked our NATO allies that we bring on the group from the South Pacific, Australia, New Zealand, Japan, Australia.
I already mentioned Australia.
And I met twice now, I think with the 14 leaders of the Pacific island nations.
And we've slowed down what's going on there.
We've slowed down China's reach.
But there's a lot of work to do.
This is a moving target.
And I don't take it lightly.
I think he's doing okay enough to stay.
The press, I think their mission was to try to get him out with this, but I don't think they're going to.
Thank you Mr. President.
Asma Khalid with NPR.
I have two questions.
Earlier you spoke about the ceasefire plan between Israel and Hamas.
We're now looking at 10 months of war and I'm curious if there's anything that you feel personally you wish you would have done differently over the course of the war.
And secondly, if I may, I wanted to ask you about your presidential campaign.
I remember covering your campaign in 2020, and there was a moment where you referred to yourself as a, quote, bridge candidacy, a transition to a younger generation of leaders.
I want to understand what changed.
Yes, take someone who served in Congress for 50 years to transition to a generation of younger leaders.
Well, you talked about what I've seen happening with Israel and the Palestinians and the Palestinian movement.
The answer is, as you recall, from the very beginning, I immediately... I went to Israel, but I also got immediate contact with Al-Sisi in Egypt.
I met with the King of Jordan.
I met with... I met with most of the Arab leaders to try to get a consensus going as to what had to be done to deal with getting more aid and food and medicine into the Gaza Strip.
And...
We pushed it really hard, and Israel occasionally was less than cooperative, number one.
The Israeli war cabinet, I've been dealing with Israel since Golda Meir.
I saw some of the reporters around here coming all the time and heard me say this.
The last first time I met with Golda Meir, I sat across from her at her desk, and her assistant was Rabin, sitting next to me.
That's how far back I'd go.
I know Israel well.
I support Israel.
But this war cabinet is one of the most conservative war cabinets in the history of Israel.
And there's no ultimate answer other than a two-state solution here.
And so what was able to be done, in terms of the plan I put together, was it would be a process for a two-state solution.
And we get the Arab nations to, particularly from Egypt to all the way to Saudi Arabia, to be in a position where they would cooperate in the transition so that they could keep the peace in Gaza without Israeli forces staying in Gaza.
The question has been from the beginning, what's the day after in Gaza?
And the day after in Gaza has to be, the end of the day after has to be no occupation by Israel on the Gaza Strip.
As well as the ability for us to access, get in and out as rapidly as you can, all that's needed there.
I've been disappointed that some of the things that I've put forward have not succeeded as well.
Like the port reattached from Cyprus.
I want the press to ask how many times Joe takes a nap a week.
But that's why when I went to Israel immediately after the massacres that occurred at the hands of Hamas, The one thing I said to the Israelis, and I met with the War Cabinet and with Bibi, don't make the same mistake America made after Bin Laden.
There's no need to occupy anywhere.
Go after the people who did the job.
You may recall, I still get criticized for it, but I was totally opposed to the occupation and trying to unite Afghanistan.
Once we got Bin Laden, we should have moved on.
Because it was not, and no one's ever going to unite that country.
I've been over every inch of that, not every inch, the entirety from the poppy fields all the way to the north.
I said, don't make the same mistake we made.
Don't think that's what you should be doing, is doubling down.
We'll help you find the bad guys.
Cyn Warren Company.
And all this criticism about I wouldn't provide the weapons they needed.
I'm not providing 2,000 pound bombs.
They cannot be used in Gaza or any populated area without causing great human tragedy and damage.
But remember what happened when you had the attack on Israel with rockets and ballistic missiles.
I was able to unite the Arab nations as well as Europe.
And nothing happened.
Nothing got hurt.
It sent an incredible lesson to what was going on from the Middle East.
So there's a lot of things, in retrospect, I wish I had been able to convince the Israelis to do.
But the bottom line is we have a chance now.
It's time to end this war.
Doesn't mean walk away from going after Sinwar and Hamas.
And if you notice, you know better than most, there is a growing dissatisfaction on the West Bank from the Palestinians about Hamas.
Hamas is not popular now.
And so...
There's a lot of moving parts.
I just have to keep moving to make sure that we get as much done as we can toward a ceasefire.
A ceasefire.
And by the way, look at the numbers in Israel.
I mean, my numbers are better in Israel than they are here.
But then again, they're better than a lot of other people here, too.
But anyway.
What changed was the gravity of the situation I inherited in terms of the economy, our foreign policy, and domestic division.
for a younger, fresher generation of Democratic leaders, and I wanted to know what changed.
What changed was the gravity of the situation I inherited, in terms of the economy, our foreign policy,
and domestic division.
And I think, I won't put words in anybody's mouth, most presidential historians give me credit
for having accomplished more than most any president since Johnson and maybe before that,
to get major pieces of legislation passed.
And what I realized was, my long time in the Senate had equipped me to have the wisdom to know how to deal with the Congress, to get things done.
We got more major legislation passed that no one thought would happen.
And I want to finish it.
To get that finished.
If tomorrow, if we had a circumstance where there was a lineup and I hadn't inherited what I did and we just moved things along.
Anyway, it's going to change.
Last question.
Haley Bull, Scripps.
Or no, Josh Weingrove.
I'm sorry.
Where's the next one?
I'll do two more questions.
Thank you, Mr. President.
Many of your colleagues, Democrats on the Hill, are watching tonight as they assess what they want to say about your candidacy.
I'm wondering how you're thinking of this right now.
It seems like your answer is clear, but they're watching how things go tonight, tomorrow in Michigan, next week in Texas and Nevada.
Are you thinking that way about whether how the next week or two goes would inform you?
Am I using that way?
Are you thinking that way about how the next two weeks go?
Will that affect your decision or are you fully determined on running I'm determined on running, but I think it's important that I lay fears by letting them see me out there.
For the longest time, it was, you know, Biden's not prepared to sit with us unscripted.
Biden's not prepared to, you know, anyway.
And so what I'm doing is, and I've been doing, I think we've done over 20 major events from Wisconsin to North Carolina to, anyway, to demonstrate that I'm going out in the areas where we think we can win, where we can persuade people to move our way, where people are already there.
And look, the other thing is, we have the most extensive campaign organization that anybody's had in a long, long time.
We have well over a thousand volunteers knocking on doors, making phone calls, making tens of thousands of phone calls.
We have headquarters.
I forget exactly how many I want to make a certain number and then find out I'm off, but we have scores of headquarters.
He's running out of energy, not out of money.
Oh yeah.
Megamaga 9-1-1.
Anyway, anyway.
He's sort of losing his thought as he goes to anyway.
It's another one of his, he has these sort of default ticks.
It's wearing off now.
time. So proud of what I've done in the Senate. It's it's wearing. I was chairman of the Foreign
Relations Committee for a long time. I was chairman or ranking member and chairman of the Judiciary
Committee. I'm going to be going down to the Johnson Library on anyway. I'm going to be going
around making the case for the things that I think we have to finish and how we can't afford to lose
what we've done or backslide on civil rights, civil liberties, women's rights.
There's that little button we have.
Control guns, not girls.
I mean, the idea, we're sitting around, this is where Kamala's so good as well.
We're sitting around, more children!
Or killed by a bullet.
Now he's gonna get angry.
And any other cause of death.
The United States of America!
What the hell are we doing?
What are we doing?
We got a candidate who said, promised the NRA, don't worry, I'm not gonna do anything.
I'm not gonna do anything.
Oh, they'll take interstate.
We got a Supreme Court that is what you might call the most conservative court in American history.
This is ridiculous.
There's so much we can do still.
And I'm determined to get it done.
It's about freedom.
And by the way, I'll end this.
Well, I'm not going to do that.
Haley has to come up too.
I remember I made a speech on democracy in Philadelphia at Independence Hall.
And I'm not being critical, just observing.
The bulk of the press, what the hell is he talking about that for?
You did.
Democracy's not an issue.
Democracy's not an issue.
Except the polling data showed 60% of the people knew I was right.
Thought I was right.
I'm not asking you a question.
You don't have to answer, obviously.
But do you think our democracy's under siege?
Based on this court?
Do you think democracy's under siege based on Project 2025?
Do you think he means what he says when he says he's gonna do away with the civil service?
Eliminate his Department of Education?
By the way, our kids would get actually good education if we eliminated the Department of Education.
Just so we're clear.
Project 2025 has nothing to do with us, but that doesn't matter.
The media will run with it.
You've had discussions over the past few days with your press secretary about the question of health exams.
And you said you take a cognitive test every day in this job.
Are you open to taking another physical or test before the election?
Governor Whitmer of Michigan, for instance, said it wouldn't hurt to take a test.
Well, look, two things.
I've taken three significant and intense neurological exams by a neurologist.
In each case, the reason is February.
And they say I'm in good shape, okay?
Is this the neurologist that's also your business partner?
I have a little problem with my left foot because it's not as sensitive because I broke my foot and didn't wear the boot.
But I'm good.
I'm tested every single day about my neurological capacity, the decisions I make every day.
You talked to my staff, all of you talked to my staff.
Sometimes my staff talks a lot.
But the fact of the matter is, I don't think you have them telling you that all the major ideas we've undertaken haven't been in part initiated by me.
I remember with the staff, I said, I'm going to go to South Korea, we're going to get the chip.
What are you doing?
I'm going to get Japan and Korea back together again after not essentially having hostilities toward one another since the end of World War two I'm gonna move and see that we can expand it, you know The only thing age does Is help you with it creates a little bit of wisdom if you pay attention Anyway, and so the point I'm making is I think it's important that I if
If the neurologist tells me he thinks I need another exam, and by the way, I've laid every bit of the record out.
I haven't done anything.
You ought to ask Trump for his, okay?
He literally did one.
With the public servant White House doctor.
Every single day I'm surrounded by good docs.
Not a private guy that doesn't, isn't obligated to speak.
Can we get Congress to subpoena his doctor?
I'll do it.
No one's suggesting that to me now.
And I'll ask you another question.
No matter what I did, no one's going to be satisfied.
Did you have seven docs?
Did you have two?
Who'd you have?
Did you do this?
How many times?
So, I am not opposed if my doctors tell me I should have another neurological exam, I'll do it.
But that's where I am.
Haley Bull, Scripps.
Thank you, Mr. President.
You said you're making decisions on a day-to-day basis when it comes to support for Ukraine.
Does that mean you have not closed the door on further considering lifting restrictions for U.S.-made weapons inside Russia?
And if I may, your convention is coming up where your delegates are pledged to make you the official nominee.
If they have second thoughts, are they free to vote their conscience?
Obviously, they're free to do whatever they want, but I get overwhelming support.
Overwhelming support.
Alright, number one, do you guys think they throw him out at their convention?
Do you think there's a coup at their convention?
Show me a one.
Or two, do you think he's the nominee even after the Democrat convention?
One, they throw him out of the convention.
Two, he's still the nominee and they don't.
Sure, look.
I'll end this with this.
I served in the Senate a long time.
I understand the impetus of candidates running for local office, and whether they think the topic of the day would help them or not.
Big guy got demoted to big boy for this presser anyway.
In my state of Delaware, which was a very, at least a purple, it was a red state when I started.
He lasted longer than expected, I have to let you know.
Matt, too bad for him overall.
I don't disagree.
I think it's perfect.
I don't recall most of the equity questions winning when I was a kid.
Truth in it or is it?
It's so interesting.
You know, if they think they're, you know, running them by the top, this is going to hurt them, then they're going to run away.
I can't.
So far, go and look at the polling data in their states.
I think the press, if they were trying to knife him, could have done a much easier job
with real questions.
But, you know, maybe...
Go and look at the polling data in their states.
Look at the indefinite...
And by the way, I think you'd all acknowledge, and you're all experts...
I'm not being solicitous about the president.
You're experts on this stuff.
How accurate does anybody think the polls are these days?
I can give you a series of polls where you have likely voters, me versus Trump, where I win all the time.
When the unlikely voters vote, he wins sometimes.
The bottom line is all the polling data right now, which I think is premature because the campaign really hasn't even started.
I mean, it hadn't started in earnest yet.
Most of the time, it doesn't start until after September, after Labor Day.
So, a lot can happen.
But I think I'm the best qual- I know, I believe I'm the best qualified to govern.
And I think I'm the best qualified to win.
But there are other people who could be trumped, too.
But it's awful to start from scratch.
And, you know, we talk about You know, money raised.
We're not doing bad.
We got about 220 million dollars in the bank.
We're doing well.
So, with that, you have any want to follow up on any of that?
You just asked me?
Yes.
You earlier explained confidence in your vice president.
Yes.
If your team came back and showed you data that she would fare better against former President Donald Trump, would you reconsider your decision to stay in the race?
No, unless they came back and said, there's no way you can win.
What do you guys think?
I don't think he wants to go, folks.
This ends tonight's press conference.
Thanks everybody.
What do you guys think?
I'm going to take my earpiece off so I can...
What do you guys think?
I don't think he wants to go, folks.
I think he wants to stay in it.
You know, I think he did better than I actually thought he was going to do.
I don't think it was a great job by, you know, any means.
But I think it's a big one.
I'll keep going for a little bit, but I also want to make sure we thank our great sponsors for tonight's show.
Make sure you're visiting TNUSA.com slash Don Jr.
TNUSA.com slash DONJR.
That's Tax Network USA for a free consultation to settle your tax disputes once and for all.
That's a big one.

Check out Public Square.
Whoa, live feed's still going strong.
Rudy says Biden isn't fit to be president.
Well, I don't think anyone necessarily thinks he's fit to be president, but I'm happy to run against him.
So I think he, I think he did fine enough to, to be able to stay in it.
He doesn't want to go, or Jill doesn't want to go, or Hunter needs the pardon, or whatever it is, they got to drag it out as long as possible.
So I think, I think that works.
I'm fine with it.
I'm fine with it.
The meds were definitely wearing off.
The anyways and the this.
He's going back to the crutches that he has when he loses his train of thought.
So I think that's a big deal.
Don, go have dinner.
Thank you for the show.
Thank you, guys.
I'm going to do that.
I'm still going.
We got 16,000 people watching.
That's like a hockey arena, so I don't want to disappear.
But I think we covered most of what it is.
Um, Don, when the chat is up, the like button is hidden.
That's why there's no likes.
Is that true?
Oh, really?
If you're on mobile, it's hidden.
Oh, that's interesting.
Hey, and how about this?
The second you guys log off, can you just go to the main header and just like it then?
That way, if you're off the chat, that way I get some credit.
I mean, you had 16,000 people two and a half hours into a show.
That's pretty decent for someone who does it part-time and not every day.
And so there's still only...
Well, maybe it's not moving because I'm not refreshing this, but I sort of got out of the other.
So let's see.
Daddy's coming home in January.
Daddy Trump.
Let's do it.
Good job, Junior.
Thank you.
Let's see, he's toast.
We'll keep him in.
You know, listen, like I said, I'm sort of fine with it, right?
You already have Joe Biden defined.
No one's gonna think he's a great orator or competent or anything like that, so I think that's a big deal.
You put in someone new.
Even Kamala, it's just not nearly as defined.
You haven't had all the, you know, the memers and this going after her quite the same way.
So, you know, that's...
That's a big deal.
You probably don't want to have to redefine someone else.
And, you know, the media and tech will do their job to suppress all of that.
So, you know, Joe's pretty well-defined.
So, you know, I'm inclined to, you know, let him stay.
I think he wants to.
But don't forget, guys, next week, RNC week, I'll be up in Milwaukee all week.
We're probably going to do a show, I think, every night.
What, 6 p.m.? ?
Five local, so five central Milwaukee time, six eastern.
I'll keep it a little bit shorter, probably like 45 minutes to an hour every night, but we'll make sure we do that.
My big speech.
I guess introducing the VP, whoever it may be, on Wednesday night or right before the VP, I should say, on Wednesday night.
That's going to be later at night.
We'll probably cover that live on here as well.
I think we'll be able to do that.
So make sure it's going to be a big week for the party, for my father, for us, for the movement.
So make sure you're tuning in for that one.
That's going to be a big deal.
Yeah, so we'll be on every night next week.
So again, like, share, subscribe now.
You know, follow if you're not already.
That way you can get notifications that we're going on because it's going to be a little bit of a different schedule.
I'm going to be more on regularly.
We may do a couple of random ones in there.
So just wanted to make sure you guys are aware of that and that you don't miss any of it because, you know, let's just say I'll probably have some pretty good access.
So with that, I'm going to go eat dinner because I'm freaking starving.
