Time Text
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
Am 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.
For all of the top headlines that we'll spotlight here on the show, go check out my news app, MXM News.
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 6.30.
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
We're good to go.
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 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
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 curse 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 have a curse 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.
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.
Yeah.
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, 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.
I remember when I was potty training my kids back when they were little,
I've got three little big boys that body training.
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, you know, 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, you know, is there ever going to be a reckoning or an accountability for all these Democrats that, no, no, no, this guy is great.
Like, 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,
There's not going that 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 eight 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've done 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.
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 and 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, hardworking 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, but, you know, 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 going to we're going to 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 that 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, Don.
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.
The media has been lying to us, telling us we're 50-50, 51-49.
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 25, 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.
It's going to be... But they're not going to do it under Joe Biden.
And by the way, the guy's not wrong at all.
I mean, 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, like, 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 pushups.
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.
You know, 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.
He's been for a decade, he's been a congressman.
He came here as a far left Democrat from Chicago to Arizona to run and to run and get in our political system and 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 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 in defund the 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 and 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've 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 is 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 percent 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
We're good to go.
You guys pull up the live feed also in my laptop up here 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 got to 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?

So,
As I told you guys, I'm going to pull up the live feed here shortly.
Should we do the news rundown first while we wait?
And then we can... 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.
Okay, 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 298 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 effed 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, uh, the private plan that their company currently has.
Yes.
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 gonna repeal that tax bill.
But we've got to increase the corporate tax rate.
And also looking at estate taxes are gonna 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.
That cackle is 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 who 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 gonna 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 gonna 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
We're good.
Okay.
Are we live?
Still waiting.
Okay.
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 gonna go to the live feed.
I'm gonna 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 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, I'm not gonna sugarcoat that.
We certainly don't most of the time, so, uh, we have to change that.
And, uh, 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 in a corner, 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 got to get out there and just vote, and you got to make sure it's counted, and you got to 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 going to 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'd rather run against Kamala Harris, give me a two.
Let's see, I'm just kind of curious where we are here.
What do you guys think?
Well, okay.
A lot more 1s.
Okay.
Okay, there's 1.5.
So there's a lot of 1s.
Okay, more 2s popping in now.
Is this true?
Ryan999 says, holy S, 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 tru- three, three, okay.
It has to be.
I have no choice.
So, um... 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 one 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 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, you know, 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... It's... 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?
You can't... Rollory 910, what a dumbass.
Yes, that is, uh... That is putting it mildly.
Ah, toasty seats.
This is interesting.
Pre-loaded questions, question mark.
I... 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 them 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.
So I don't think they're going to do the preloaded questions anymore.
Don Junior, where are the custom emojis for pedo Pete from your father and yours?
You know what?
I don't know.
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 or when... By the way, in 2016, hey, you have a brash billionaire from New York, is he gonna do those things he said?
Does he have that ability?
Like...
So he proved that.
And there's a few that have gone on the record saying, hey, I was 100% 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 those people who actually do a mea culpa and then spend the last four or five years truly fighting at six years and fighting back and being like, hey, I was wrong and he's great.
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?
Um, you know, there are people, hey, we're, 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, uh, 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.
About 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 Don Jr.
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 Secret Service guys on me, and they were right on my butt with MP5s, and I'm trying to stalk up and down.
I don't know.
I don't know.
Guys, this is going to 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 got to 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 of 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?
Gun questions, fishing questions, political questions.
Speed's going pretty fast.
Let me scroll down to the bottom.
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, an actual dinosaur, a Triceratops.
It's not like you could mix it up with, I don't know, a rhino.
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 for millions of years.
So that was actually...
Really funny.
Don Jr.
for VP.
Please don't make me do it.
Don, what do we do when the Dems cheat?
The courts won't help.
I agree with you.
We got to overwhelm it early.
We got to sort of, again, we got to make it too big to rig.
We got to 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
You know, one of the top contenders.
So, you know, again, you know, good guy, young guy, probably has a great future.
You know, it's not really part of this VP conversation.
I don't know that it really has been too much.
Again, everyone has their comms team, sort of leaks certain things like it's real or whatever it may be, but I don't know that that's ever really been, 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, listen, I think if it was me, I think it makes my father, you know, the, 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,
Yeah, I mean, 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 and I'll pay to have stuff processed where it is and give it to hunters feeding the homeless and charities like that.
You know, so 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.
But everything always gets eaten and so I'll spend a lot of time actually donating to those causes and donating it to the various homeless shelters that'll take, you know, processed elk or venison.
But yeah, I have a whole trunk freezer full of it.
We eat a lot of it.
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.
Fishing in Montana 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 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 relatively similar.
I think Elk's better than some, and there's other, you know, Axestir's 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 it, I was still top three in a lot of sort of the credible sort of national polls.
So I guess I've done okay, at least certainly with the base.
But it was sort of, you know, my father is a clear frontrunner, and then sort of me and DeSantis as like the next two, and sort of we flipped back and forth.
And without my father,
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 in there.
And, 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.
I actually, in the Canada side,
You know, I've done a lot, you know, 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 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
You know, it's not like the Texas sort of, you know, sit over a feeder kind of thing.
It's, you know, you can hike for days and not even see an animal.
Like, 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 just how rugged it is and how rough the winters are.
But, you know, that's the ultimate because half of it, it's not just even hunting.
It's about, you know, it's about the physical challenge and, you know, sort of
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, uh, 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 got in there, we're half an hour late already.
I'll just keep yakking.
I don't even care, but... I wonder if... Do you think it's delayed because they just can't get Joe in a state?
I'm going to scroll down to the bottom.
What do you guys think of this?
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 don't know.
Uh, 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, uh, the one I am missing is the Rocky Mountain.
So if you guys have someone that, uh, wants to, uh, can figure out how I can actually draw a Rocky Mountain tag, you let me know.
Uh, 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 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 pulled that off, I could get to a couple slams pretty quickly because of that.
Don't you?
Beats him, 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 whole.
Joe Biden still hasn't commented or responded, so apparently Joe does not think he can pull that one off.
I don't even play golf, honestly.
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 here.
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, used 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.
So, no, 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, like, 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, you know,
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 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, lived there and, uh, you know, lived out of the back of a truck for six weeks, like in the African backcountry, 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, frankly, 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.
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 going to sleep in the back of a truck or anything like that.
We're going to try to do it nice for her.
And I was amazed, like even a place like super liberal Aspen, the amount of people like screaming.
My god, you gotta win this thing!
It was pretty amazing in a town that I thought went like full libtard.
It was sort of telling because it was one of those places like you go it's almost like you know in New York City like if you go
Into those places, you realize, wait a minute, it's not as bad as I thought.
Like, all of the restaurant owners and the waiters and the staff that, you know, understand what it's like to work for a living, like, just super supportive.
Like, I was like, I'm not sure I'll be able to get a dinner reservation or get, not even a little bit.
It was sort of amazing.
So it was sort of a, 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.
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 could be true.
I mean, what time is it supposed to be?
It was supposed to be at 6.30.
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.
Uh, 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, um...
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.
Um...
Nice place for a rally, Aspen.
I don't know about a rally, but, uh... Nah, it's interesting.
I know a lot of people there, and a lot of that was always, you know, Democrat money.
It's obviously a super wealthy town, whatever it may be, but like... Uh, those guys are, uh, they're coming around.
Uh, Don Jr., you're a great man.
Good father, your dear kids.
Well, I try.
I try.
Uh... Deanna H6651, I'm loving the regular Don at bar conversation.
Huh, 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.
Nerth Hatchet pulled him out.
Yeah, that's like, yeah, Nerth'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're putting...
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.
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, that's, that's, that's him.
Cause he probably couldn't pay anyone else to put some of that content out.
Uh, in this, in this case, uh, 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.
I ain't Joe Biden.
Now one day I may be, but if one day I get to that point, I also won't try to run the countries.
Something about Aspen have lefties there.
Yeah, 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, 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.
This is not, I don't need that headache.
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, she was, 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 the head.
But, uh, let's see.
Da-da-da-da-da!
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?
730.
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.
I don't necessarily know if I mind missing dinner, but he's going to be an hour late.
They're now saying 7.30.
You want me to stay on and give the
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.
Door dash.
Uh, get Kimberly to come on.
Could do that.
Uh, 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?
As we get 10,000 people, 11,000 now.
So, you know, 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're 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 six o'clock Eastern?
Is that just too early a start time?
Or my team's like, oh great, we got to stay later.
But now, okay, this is a good one.
Is 6pm, is it too early to start?
Would you rather start 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, it'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 pages in Australia.
I am not gonna, yeah.
I am 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?
Good song lyric, but no, I'll stay on.
I'll stay on.
If you guys want the commentary, it seems like, it seems like you want it.
You know, I gotta listen to it too, because I'm curious, I guess.
Hell, you know, I gotta, I can incorporate some material into my speech next weekend.
So next week I'm speaking
I think like nine o'clock central time though, right?
So is that 10 o'clock East Coast?
Nine o'clock central time.
See, that's going to be one of those where I'm going to get up at 6 a.m.
I'm going to be doing press and I got to 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 of 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 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.
And there was, 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 of years ago.
So 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, 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's so many that I like, but again, with with eclectic taste.
But, you know, that of all time, that could be it.
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 a million dollars to the charity of his choice.
He doesn't have to pay a million dollars to anything because, you know, he's only paying himself and his family.
We understand that.
So 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.
But Joe Biden, 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, you know, 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.
He does the 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, uh, so, who knows?
Uh, 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, you know, 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.
Uh, De Niro was a good actor once.
Yeah, he was a great actor once.
And by the way, that's the thing, when he does all these things, like, hated the Trumps, just so we're clear, like I said this 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.
So 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 happened.
That's OK.
Honestly, that was the nice thing about politics.
People are like, isn't that terrible?
I was like, no, 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's nice you so 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, and 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.
Yeah.
Okay.
One, if Joe Biden reads, end of quote,
Or pause for applause.
Two, if he gets through it.
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.
I directed the intelligence community to a significant amount of intelligence to be declassified so I could start building an international coalition of coalition invasions.
In February, some of you remember, I warned the world that the invasion was imminent.
I rallied a coalition of 15 nations from Europe to Asia to help Ukraine defend itself.
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 and 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.
Some of you 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 this nonsense.
That was always the red line, but no one's going to ask that question tonight.
And 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 issues that being a political campaign.
It's far too important.
It's about the world we live in for decades to come.
This is a very, very canned neocon speech right now.
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 them 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 must lead the world.
We're our indispensable nation, as Madeleine Albright wrote.
Now 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.
We're going to keep working to take down... Since the start of the year?
Where are they since the start of your presidency, Joe?
Like, they'll take two cents and they'll take like it's... like they did something.
...10% tariff on everything Americans buy, 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%.
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, the G7.
That framework is now agreed on by both Israel and Hamas.
So send my team to the region.
Yeah, everyone's saying he's lying.
Of course he's lying.
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.
Like, give me a break.
But I don't think he's leaving.
We're the United States of America.
We are the indispensable nation.
Our leadership matters.
Our partnerships matter.
This moment matters.
We must rise to meet it.
With that, I'll take your questions.
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.
Thank you.
My question for you is, how are you incorporating these developments into your decision to stay?
And separately, what concerns do you have about Vice President Harris's ability to beat Donald Trump if she were at the top of the ticket?
Look, I wouldn't have picked Vice President Trump to be Vice President.
There we go!
So let's 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 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 have lower numbers than I have now.
Later in the campaign.
So there's a long way to go in this campaign.
And so 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 what we are economically.
Watch the rest of the world.
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 need help.
Corporate greed is still at large.
Prices, 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 Presidents Zelensky and Putin earlier today.
And you now have sort of your key allies including the British Prime Minister, the President of France, 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.
Here we go, folks.
I thought it was the most successful conference I've attended in 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.
What do you hear now from mainstream economists?
16 economic Nobel laureates said I've done a hell of a job.
That under my plans so far and what's going to happen in the future if I've 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 do the drugs wear off, guys?
How long does this go, and when do the drugs wear off?
He's ten 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?
Find me an economist, a mainstream economist, who 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 gonna make sure that rents are kept at 5% increase.
Corporate rents for apartments and the like and homes are limited to 5%.
We're gonna make a lot of changes.
So, but, like all promises, 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.
I know for how I got so criticized for being so pro-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.
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?
It 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, there's 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.
And it's going to grow economies all through.
And by the way, red states and blue states.
Matter of fact, there's as much in red states and blue states.
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 fairer.
Like I said, from my standpoint,
If the economy is so good, type 1 if you were better off under Trump or 2 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.
You're supposed to lie to yourself?
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, too.
First of all, the way she's handled the issue of freedom of women's bodies to have control of their bodies.
Secondly, her ability to handle almost any issue on the board.
A lot of ones here.
Holy crap, I can't even keep up with the feed.
It's all one.
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.
LOL.
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.
Look.
What I said was, instead of my everyday 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.
Someone 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 just 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.
I add things all the time at the very end.
I'm catching hell from my wife for that.
Anyway... Um... 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.
We've allowed Zelensky to use American weapons in the near term, in the near abroad, into Russia.
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, how far they should go in.
That's a logical thing to do.
Second question related to
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 and 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?
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.
There's 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 concern that Donald Trump may weaken NATO.
Stop supporting Ukraine or push Ukraine to give up territories to Russia.
They're correct.
And you're 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'm not handing
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 from home, that worries Europe.
That worries Poland.
And nobody, including the people of Poland, thinks 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 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.
Which we'll thank you.
I beg your pardon?
A lot of 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, but...
Yeah, 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.
Oh, 100%.
Yes.
It took a lot of selling to some folks, particularly in Turkey and other places, to agree to 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, 50, 5-0, 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'm convinced a lot of people will follow it.
We're just going to get stronger.
David Sanger.
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's 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,
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 don't know, it's interesting.
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 them.
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
We're good to go.
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 she 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 as 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.
When I invest in China, you have to have a 51% Chinese owner, you have to make sure that you do by their rules, 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 playing 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 expect 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 and he's tapped.
Okay.
One, if you think Joe's tapped and goes another 10 minutes or two, if you think he keeps going.
One, Joe's tapped.
Two, he keeps going.
More than 10 minutes.
We talked about how both the EU, as well as NATO, has to be able to begin to build their own munition capacity.
Actually, listen, we're picking up a lot of new followers.
Or 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.
How can we have 2.1 thousand likes with 17 thousand people watching?
Come on, guys, you're killing me.
Get almost 18,000 people watching this.
2,000 likes?
Hey, 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.
Not just for themselves, but to be able to generate that.
Yeah, that's right.
Shady Blue, he needs another line.
Now he's just going to sort of 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.
The West is going to become the industrial base for the ability to have all the defensive weapons that we need.
That was the discussion as well.
Mr. President, I'm not sure you answered on whether you would be ready
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, likes, you know, got a couple, they got 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 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.
What's that?
First of all, in this war that he is supposedly won, and by the way, don't hold me to that number.
Yeah, that's true.
His fallback is always, look, when he starts getting fumbly and forgets where he is, it's always, look, look.
You can hear when he starts saying that more, it's wearing off.
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
We're good to go.
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, because you've written about it.
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.
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 then 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.
It can't be serious.
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 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.
We're good to go.
I've been dealing with Israel since Golda Meir.
I've seen some of the reporters around here come here 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 go.
I know Israel well and 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'd get the Arab nations to, particularly from Egypt 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,
We're good to go.
I want the press to ask how many times Joe takes a nap a week.
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 guess you'll 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.
It's doubling down.
We'll help you find the bad guys.
Sin 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.
From 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.
It 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 get those.
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.
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, was 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 your decision?
Am I using that way, sir?
Are you thinking that way about how the next two weeks go?
Will that affect your decision?
Or are you fully determined on running in November as the party's nominee?
I'm determined on running, but I think it's important that I lay fears by seeing, let them see me out there.
Let me see them, you know, 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 into the areas where we think we can win, where we can persuade people to move our way, where people are already there.
And here, 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.
Knock on doors.
Make a phone call.
Make a ton of thousands of calls.
We have headquarters.
I forget exactly how many I want to know.
Say the number, and then find out I'm off.
But we have scores of headquarters.
Oh, 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.
Anyway, I'm going to be going around making the case of 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, 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 are killed by a bullet than any other cause of death.
The United States of America!
What the hell are we doing?
What are we doing?
We've got a candidate saying, promising the NRA, don't worry I'm not going to do anything.
I'm not going to do anything.
You've 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 said, what the hell is he talking about that for?
Democracy.
And he did.
Democracy is not an issue.
Democracy is 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 is under siege?
Based on this court?
Do you think democracy is under siege based on Project 2025?
Do you think he means what he says when he says he's going to do away with the civil service?
Eliminate the Department of Education?
By the way, our kids would get actually good educations 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.
We'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.
She's chomping at the bit, too.
I've taken three significant and intense neurological exams by a neurologist.
Yes, that sounded like it.
In each case, the reason is February.
And they say I'm in good shape, okay?
Although I do 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 talk to my staff, all of you talk 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 when the staff and 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 essentially having hostilities toward one another since the end of World War II.
I'm going to move and see if we can expand it.
You know, the only thing age does is help you with it.
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 my, if the neurologist tells me he thinks I need another exam, and by the way, I've, I've laid every bit of the record out, hadn't, hadn't, hadn't, hadn't a thing.
He literally did one.
With the public servant White House doctor.
Not a private guy that doesn't- isn't obligated to speak.
Did we get Congress to subpoena his doctor?
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 they should I should have another neurological exam.
I'll do it.
But that's where I am.
Haley Bull scripts.
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?
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 at the convention.
Two, he's still the nominee and they don't.
Sure.
It'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 top... Big guy got demoted to big boy for this presser anyway.
In my state of Delaware, which was a very
At least it was a red state when I started.
In terms of, we're now talking blue.
I don't disagree.
I think it's perfect.
You can probably sit back on this and say that he can stay in it.
I don't think anyone wants to call this guy again in an emergency at 3 o'clock in the morning, but you know, he did an hour, almost an hour.
I think the press, if they were trying to knife him, could have done a much easier job with real questions.
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 hasn'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 Trump, 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 in the bank.
We're doing well.
Imagine giving this more on $220 million.
So, with that, you have any want to follow up on any of that?
You can just ask 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.
Me.
No one's saying that.
No poll says that.
What do you guys think?
What do you guys think?
I don't think he wants to go, folks.
I think he wants to stay in it.
Uh, you know, I think he did better than I actually thought he was gonna 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.
Also, guys,
Make sure that you're downloading the Public Square app today or go to publicsquare.com because together we can build the patriot economy, we can save our country, we can push back on the nonsense that is woke capital, woke corporations, all of that insanity.
Make sure you guys check out Public Square.
I think it's just a great
Business, you can vote with your wallets, like patriots support patriotic businesses.
People who sign up, whether you're a business or whether you're a consumer, you can sign up as a business.
Consumers that want to support, you know.
Guys that share their ideology, vote with your wallet that way.
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 did fine enough to be able to stay in it.
He doesn't wanna go, or Jill doesn't wanna go, or Hunter needs the pardon, or whatever it is, they gotta drag it out as long as possible.
So I think...
I think that works.
I'm fine with it.
I'm fine with it.
You know, the meds were definitely wearing off.
You know, 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...
That's a big deal.
Don, go have dinner.
Thank you for the show.
Thank you, guys.
I'm gonna do that.
You know, I'm still going.
We got 16,000 people watching.
That's like a hockey arena, so I don't want to just disappear, but I think we covered most of what it is.
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 a...
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.
And 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.
I haven't eaten yet today.
And you guys have a great evening.
I will see you Monday night, I guess.
From Milwaukee.
Have a great night, guys.
Be good.
