I know, it's hard to believe there's more on this Marxist clown.
And we're gonna bring it to you right here on this show.
Since the mainstream media refuses to do their job, since no one's going to cover it, since no one's gonna even talk about these things, no matter how ridiculous it gets,
It's our job to do that for you here.
So make sure you guys are liking, sharing, subscribing.
Do the usual because that's really important.
It's how we get the message out there in a game that, frankly, the odds are really stacked against us.
Plus, my father is wrapping up a press conference at Bedminster.
We'll play some of those highlights for you.
So you're going to be able to get
All your news, right here, right now, in the next hour or two, and we'll have some fun.
We're also going to be joined by Congressman Matt Gaetz of Florida.
So, I think this has all the makings of a great show.
I know that's always a crowd favorite.
He's got a great line of crap and, you know, is a great fighter in that movement.
So, again, make sure you're liking, sharing, subscribing.
It's so easy, but
When you have the rest of big tech stacked against us, we have to work harder, we have to work smarter, to break through all of the noise.
To break through all of that and actually grow the movement.

With the whole family, so we can stop the communist indoctrination your kids are probably getting at school, and we can wake them up young and early.
It's a lot harder to convert a dyed-in-the-wool communist than it is to prevent them from ever getting that way, so make sure to do that, guys.

Honestly, you're all a part of that, along with our incredible sponsors, who I have to just thank for having the guts to support programming this like this.
Sponsors like Tax Network USA.
So guys, let me ask you, are you receiving letters right now from the IRS claiming you owe back taxes?
Remember the 85,000 or so armed IRS agents they brought on?
Yeah, it wasn't to go look at the billionaires, folks.
There's not enough billionaires in the world for all of those, let alone in the United States.
It's because they're going after everyday citizens.
Every day, the IRS is sending out thousands of lien notices to hard-working Americans like yourself.
As penalties and interest fees pile up, the IRS gives you no clear path to resolution.
Do not speak to them on your own.
They are not your friends.
Ask me how I know to not trust the three-letter agencies.
Okay?
Been there, done that.
I know better now.
You should too.
To reach a team of licensed tax professionals that can help you reduce, settle, and resolve your tax matters, go to TNUSA.com slash Don Jr.

That way they know you came from me.
It's why they sponsor the show.
You give us that love.
They come back.
They keep supporting programming like this.
That's how it works.
Make sure to check them out.
Don't trust the IRS on your own.
So with that, guys, let's get into some of the top headlines of the day.
Remember, guys, in late May of 2020, when Minneapolis almost burned to the ground?
It was some of the worst rioting America has ever seen.
Now, we were told that that was the 2020 Summer of Love, but anyone with an IQ above 7, maybe 8, understood that that was a lie, that was narrative.
Here's some of the footage in case you forgot exactly what it looked like.
We're waking up this morning to devastation in Minneapolis.
Peaceful protests transitioning into violence and looting.
One man is dead and another is in custody after a shooting near the demonstrations.
Some buildings up in flames, others seriously damaged.
An apartment complex that was under construction on 29th Street has burned to the ground.
This is near the corner of 29th Street and 27th Avenue.
The fire could be seen from miles away.
The Wendy's nearby also burned, in addition to several other buildings around the area.
Wow, that was actually amazing.
That was actually objective reporting.
Now, that was not what you saw on CNN, where, remember, I remember watching similar buildings burning in the background.
I think a reporter got hit in the head with a brick, and it was like, it was mostly peaceful protesting.
You know, the building spontaneously combusted.
We have no idea how they magically went up in flames, but it was mostly peaceful.
It's amazing, though, hearing the news anchor still use those words, peaceful protests.
There was nothing peaceful about this stuff, guys.
It was orchestrated, it was set up, and it was anything but peaceful.
When you burn a city to the ground, it's not peaceful.
While there was some objectivity actually talking about these things being set on fire, we understand what they were trying to do to begin with.
So,
Here are some of the stats, just to show everyone how not peaceful it actually was.
There were 1,300 buildings damaged in Minneapolis at a cost of $350 million.
1,300.
Remember?
They tried talking about these things like it was an anomaly.
Yeah, one building went up in smoke.
Again, spontaneous combustion.
It just happened.
We don't really know.
No, no, no.
1,300 buildings were damaged.
Cost of $350 million.
The buildings damaged included three post offices and 35 homes.
Most people saw damage in Minneapolis and they were shocked.
Kamala Harris saw the damage and wanted more to continue.
The Washington Examiner had a great story today highlighting that Kamala Harris wrote a blog post explaining why she wants people to give to the Minneapolis Freedom Fund, which paid the bill for the rioters who were caught.
Check this out.
It's insane.
It never ends.
The Minneapolis Freedom Fund bailed out people charged with murder.
Okay, actually murder, violent felonies, and sex crimes.
Okay, not exactly peaceful protesting types of things.
Those categories, murder, violent felonies, and sex crimes, do not go hand-in-hand with peaceful protest.
Kamala wrote in her blog post that people need to give to
Quote, protesters on the front lines.
In other words, we need to financially support rioters.
Kamala Harris has embraced the most extreme positions of today's Democrat Party, which is already pretty extreme.
Not only does she want you to financially support rioters, she wants you to release criminals in your neighborhood.
Check this one out.
Hi, my name is Sally Hartman.
I'm a volunteer with the Center for Worker Justice.
I want to know, when you become president, would you be committing to close immigration detention centers?
Absolutely, on day one.
So we were clear, guys.
Closing immigration detention would mean tens of thousands of criminals would be released into American communities.
It would be a disaster.
There's a trend here for those who are not paying attention.
Re-rioters and free criminal illegals.
Her support for rioters was in 2020, and that video about immigration detention is from 2019.
So what about now, guys?
Well, currently Kamala is completely silent.
Not only does she not do interviews, but she doesn't even have any policies up on her website.
Yet.
It's been like 26 or 27 days.
Kamala wants to make this campaign about nothing.
It's like a Seinfeld episode.
It's a campaign about nothing.
She probably would rather us just talk about her lack of policies than to have her on camera support for ideas inspired by AOC, who, by the way, Kamala praised vehemently not too long ago.
Yes, I was just having a nice conversation with you during the break.
So I wanted to ask you, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez's new darling of the party.
She officially has more Twitter followers than Nancy Pelosi.
She's on 60 Minutes this weekend proudly calling herself a radical, and she's promoting policies like saying that every single carbon emission in the country, every car, should be eliminated within the next 11 years, everything from a 70 to 80% tax rate.
Do you agree that she could possibly, in this ideology of the socialist left, could splinter your party?
No.
You know, I think that she is challenging the status quo.
I think that's fantastic.
I think that... We're clear.
Challenging the status quo with a 70% tax rate is just fantastic.
I mean, she's taking a page out of AOC's socialist playbook and proposing price controls tomorrow.
The Democrats are trying to run this country into the ground.
They're doing a wonderful job of that.
Kamala Harris with Joe Biden have been doing that for over three and a half years now, and we've seen the results.
They're trying to do it as quickly as possible, but now, magically,
She's hoping the media will say she'll be a moderate, she was never the Borders are, she was all these great things, she's not a product of a Marxist family, which of course she was, it doesn't matter.
They're letting her hide in the basement, just like they did Joe Biden in 2020, but now they don't even have COVID as an excuse to do it.
They're just running cover for her.
They understand that everything she said is asinine.
They understand that the American public does not want any of that.
That's why she doesn't have to have policies, and the policies she does come up with she steals from my father, trying to pretend like that's real.
Like she's not just going to change on day one, right?
Whether it's
No tax on tips, which she stole from my father, even though she was the one that cast the vote to allow the IRS to go after people's tips to make sure they were being accounted for.
You know, minor details, just like Joe Biden and Kamala Harris did as it related to fracking in Pennsylvania back in 2020.
Of course we're not against fracking.
Well, you've said it 30 times, you're against it.
No, no, no, we're not at all.
The media, they're clearly not.
They're clearly not.
On day one, they cancel the Keystone Pipeline.
That's what they are.
They are liars.
My father, on the other hand, actually wants to save our economy and lower your taxes.
He's done that once before.
It's not just talk.
He's actually done it.
His talk aligns with his policies, unlike Kamala Harris, who are the opposite of all the policies that literally the administration she is currently serving under put into effect.
Not only will my father extend the Trump tax cuts, but he will end taxes on tips and Social Security.
And yesterday, in North Carolina, he committed to lowering energy costs by cutting them in half.
The choice is clear in November, and that's why Fox's latest polls show us ahead.
America does not want four more years of Kamala and Joe Biden's failures.
They've already had that.
They understand what it means, and they don't want any more of it.
Check this out.
Four years of Harris, your finances will never recover.
They're never going to recover.
Our country will never recover.
Frankly, more importantly, it will be unrecoverable.
Vote Trump and your incomes will soar, your savings will grow, young people will be able to afford a home, and we will bring back the American dream bigger, better, and stronger than ever before.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Well, guys, and the other half of the Democrats' tickets isn't any better.
Frankly, he may actually be worse, which is hard to believe because it does not get much worse than Kamala Harris and Joe Biden's policies.
The legacy media is finally getting around to exposing what a dishonest coward Tim Walz is.
ABC has a big story today about how Tim Walz nodded along as someone claimed he served in Afghanistan.
ABC wrote that Walz also repeatedly said that he retired with the rank he achieved but did not retire with.
This story comes a day after Tim Walz was exposed for saying that an imam that promotes Hitler
is a master teacher.
Seems like a big deal, folks.
Seems like that would be something that if we had an honest media, they would talk about ad nauseum.
I know if it was us, they would be.
And tonight, we are adding yet another scandal to our waltz of shame, so to speak.
And as I said at the start of the show, we have some news to break tonight on Governor Tim Walz, Kamala Harris's VP choice.
Under Tim Walz and his administration, some Minnesota elementary schools were pushed to assign material from a book called, Something Happened in Our Town.
Sounds innocent, huh?
The book says that police are violent and racist.
Listen for yourself.
Why did the police shoot that man?
It was a mistake, said her mother.
I feel sorry for the man and his family.
Yes, the police thought he had a gun, said her father.
It wasn't a mistake, said her sister Liz.
The cops shot him because he was black.
But it doesn't stop there.
The book goes on to suggest that this police racism is all part of a pattern.
Huh.
Some white people still think most black men and boys are dangerous, even though they're not.
Was the man that got shot dangerous?
Asked Emma.
No, her mother said.
Shooting him was a mistake.
It was a mistake that is part of a pattern.
Like a pattern on my blanket?
Emma asked.
Yes, but this pattern is being nice to white people and mean to black people.
It's an unfair pattern.
Now guys, this was all laid out in a 2020 letter from the Minnesota Police and Officers Association to WALS, which read, quote, the Minnesota Police and Peace Officers Association has recently learned several departments in your administration are counseling teachers and parents to use materials which instill fear of police officers in young children.
It was reported to us that this book video was used as a book report assignment yesterday in a fourth grade class in Echo Park Elementary in Burnsville, Minnesota.
The letter went on to say, quote, our members deserve better from this state than to see their profession demonized.
Their families deserve better from the state than to see their loved ones who risked their lives, disparaged and unfairly cast as violent and racist.
And we hope you agree.
Did Kamala Harris even vet Tim Waltz?
This guy isn't the folksy Midwesterner that they're telling us he is.
This guy seems like a radical Marxist buffoon.
Or maybe they did vet him.
Maybe they vetted him and they liked what they found.
Maybe they vetted him and thought these things
Whether it's the stolen valor, whether it's the lies, whether it's the complacency going along with that, whether it's attacking police officers, whether it's turning a blind eye to burning down entire cities in the state that he's supposed to be governor of, whether it's making sure that we had tampons in boys' bathrooms,
Whether, you know, Minnesota could turn into a sanctuary state for kids to run for sex change operations without their parents' consent.
You know, all those Midwestern values, I guess.
I don't know.
That's, I guess, what they're telling me.
I'm not sure.
Doesn't jive with anything else I've seen before.
But either way, her choice of waltz shows she doesn't have the judgment to be a good president.
Another disaster that shows Kamala Harris' poor judgment is the Afghan withdrawal.
Today is the third anniversary of the fall of Kabul.
It fell to the Taliban in a matter of days after 20 years of war.
Countless Americans lives lost, trillions in debt for no reason.
Kamala Harris was the last person in the room when the decision to withdraw was made and she said she was proud of that decision.
That decision ultimately led to the deaths of 13 brave Americans.
That decision
Wasn't to get out of a war.
It was to try to get a headline that they did it faster than Trump.
Withdrawing during the fighting season rather than in the winter when the Taliban are hiding in caves.
They did it for a soundbite.
They did it all wrong.
Knowingly.
They didn't care.
They didn't even acknowledge the 13 brave Americans who lost their lives so embarrassingly that day.
It's a disgrace.
And now, the Taliban is parading around the hundreds of millions of dollars in equipment we left behind.
Billions, actually.
I think it was 86 billion.
Kamala Harris broke our economy.
She broke our border.
And broke the world.
And now the Taliban... You gotta see some of these videos, by the way.
I wish I had the clip for you here, but... Do we have the clip?
Oh.
Alright, there it is.
Watch.
This is a Taliban parade.
Just so we're clear.
A Taliban military tribunal parade, whatever you call it.
Parading around.
86 billion in American equipment left.
They're one of the greatest arms exporters in the world right now, basically selling the M4 machine guns, the tanks, the Humvees, the trucks, the this, that, and the other helicopters that we left behind for them.
Think about that.
An enemy we fought for 20 years.
A terrorist regime by any account.
A regime that subjugates women and children
It's disgusting and now they're having military parades in our equipment.
Kamala Harris again was the last person in the room that wanted to do this and now she wants to lead the world.
Think about how insane that is and yet
Because of the media, because of big tech, because of everyone, she actually may get a chance to do that.
So again, guys, like, share, subscribe.
Make sure that people are seeing this stuff because it's so asinine to me.
The fact that she can hide for almost a month after becoming the presumptive nominee of a major party.
My father gives press conferences every other day.
They don't even ask her a question.
She doesn't do anything that's not on teleprompter.
When she's on teleprompter, it's the same speech regardless of where she is because I guess she's incapable of ad-libbing or changing up.
To accommodate the new crowd, the new state, the different whatever it may be.
That's how ridiculous it is.
And finally, guys, there was just a really disturbing report about the Secret Service and the lack of coordination, professionalism, and everything in between as it relates to some of the stuff we've seen over the last couple of weeks with my father's assassination attempt and etc.
It just, you know, again, forgive me if you guys don't care.
I'm perhaps just a pissed off son, but it's pretty ridiculous.
Check this out.
Breaking news right now.
This on the Secret Service detail that's guarding former President Donald Trump.
Real clear politics reporter Susan Crabtree reporting that a female Secret Service agent abandoned her post in North Carolina to breastfeed her baby during Trump's visit to North Carolina yesterday.
The report says about five minutes before Trump's motorcade arrived, the site agent, who manages security for the entire event, did a final sweep at the location.
While walking the route, the site agent reportedly found this Secret Service special agent in question, breastfeeding, with two other family members present, in a room that's supposed to be set aside for official business, like an emergency involving the president.
The report says the special agent did not have permission to leave her post,
As reported, this agent and her family bypassed the Secret Service Uniformed Division checkpoint, were escorted into the room where she was breastfeeding by event staff who had not been cleared by security.
Real clear politics contacted the Secret Service about the incident.
They did not say that it had an impact on the event, but it is under review.
This comes about a month after what many consider to be the biggest Secret Service failure in American history, the assassination attempt of former President Donald Trump and Butler, PA.
I mean seriously.
What the fuck is going on?
I gotta say it because I didn't give me I mean give me a break I apologize any young kids watching but are you serious?
They had to break their post as a secret to go breastfeed?
Like guys this isn't like
Teaching kindergarten or like, you know, you know, and being a, you know, independent contractor.
You're a secret service agent on a post.
You stop to go, like, what are you doing?
How is it possible?
How can stuff like this still be happening after the shooting?
This is post the shooting.
I mean, are you serious?
No one learned anything?
Do they even care?
Or are they trying to have it happen again?
Man, I have so many friends there, so many guys I love that, you know, they're true good friends.
I imagine, you know, when I start calling them, I'm sure they'll all be embarrassed, but what is, what's it gonna take for them to be the elite force that they say they are?
It's absolutely unacceptable.
And by the way, you ask any real agent that isn't, you know, perhaps breastfeeding?
Like, I imagine they'd say the same thing.
There's a time and a place for everything, but if you have to do that, then take a desk job for a little while while you're doing that.
Um, you know, take paternity leave, maternity leave.
You know, maybe it's time to do some chest feeding for the guys.
I don't know.
You know, it works for Pete Buttigieg.
Why not the Secret Service?
But you're gonna do it while you're on post?
Like actively?
Come on.
It's insane.
Well, folks, lastly, my father held a press conference today at Bedminster and exposed Kamala Harris as nothing more than another puppet for the destructive Democrat agenda.
Check this one out.
Allowed 20 million people, and I believe it's higher than that.
People say 13, 14, 12, 10, but now they're all up to around 12, 13, 14.
They have no idea because you have millions and millions of what they call gotaways, the gotaways.
We're good to go.
All right, guys.
I think, you know, it'd be nice if Kamala Harris did these things, impromptu, off the cuff, rather than a teleprompter, but it doesn't matter.
The media will tell us that she did, even if she doesn't, or tell us how great her policies are, even if they're not up on her website, and even if no one knows what they actually are, because they're all in on it.
They are hacks.
They are spokespeople for the regime, and the regime is in power.
So what makes you think that the regime is going to change anything that the regime has been doing when the same people that are part of the regime
Maintain power if they win in November.
Shouldn't be too hard to answer, but you know, again, who knows?
It's 2024.
So in a couple seconds, we're going to get to Congressman Matt Gaetz.
We're going to have some fun with that.
But first, guys, make sure you're protecting yourself against the Harris-Biden inflation disasters and everything else with the Birch Gold Group.
Look,
You guys see the market volatility, you see what's happening, and we know the Fed is just printing more and more and more money.
That means your guys' costs go up and your quality of life goes down.
That's inflation in a nutshell, and we're seeing it like we probably haven't in my lifetime before.
So like I always say, I just want you to be prepared.

Okay?
And with that,
Joining me now, Congressman Matt Gaetz of Florida.
What's happening, buddy?
Oh man, it's good to talk to you, Don.
I've got a primary election on Tuesday here in the Sunshine State, so I've been out there knocking the doors, waving on the side of the road, had a rally with Congressman Tim Burchett today, so looking forward to the people here in Northwest Florida allowing me to keep fighting for them, fighting for our veterans, our military mission,
Fighting against the spending that is crushing people with high prices.
And I think after that, we're going to be on to really drawing into sharp focus the contrasts with Kamala Harris.
And can't wait to chat with you about it.
Well, listen, I know, obviously, so you got a primary on Tuesday.
So everyone, you know, if you're up in that panhandle area, you know, go vote for me.
I know you probably feel fairly confident because I have not gotten the call to be like, hey, Don, come up here and help me out.
So I have a feeling you've probably got this.
But everyone has to vote anyway, because we've got to make sure you elect the right sheriff, make sure you're electing the right dog catcher, make sure you're electing the right people across the board.
By the way, speaking of which, Matt, do you have somewhere a list of the other people?
Obviously, people will go to vote for you, but who else should they be voting for?
Certainly in some of these primaries, there are going to be other choices.
Do you have a list somewhere where people can find out what your picks would be?
Because I think that'll matter in your neck of the woods.
Well, certainly we want people to get out and vote for Rick Scott.
He's got a nominal primary contest, but still we want him forging through to that general election with the strongest possible strength.
But yeah, we've been emailing out to folks, you know, we've got a great sheriff in Okaloosa County, Eric Aden.
We've got great state lawmakers.
Really, this part of Florida is pretty spectacular.
We've got real growth.
We've got great schools, safe streets, and we want to keep the good times rolling here.
And our only challenge in the Florida Panhandle, Donna, sometimes it's so idyllic.
You lose perspective on how the rest of this country is really going downhill in a bad way.
And we've all got to do our part, whether you're from a place where you've got a lot of Republican representation, or even if you're behind enemy lines.
You and I got a lot of friends who live in these blue states, and it's hard to not get them blackpilled, but those folks still need to be sharing our content on social media.
They need to be donating to candidates on the front lines of the fight in the Senate.
And in the House.
And then, of course, we've got to mobilize every asset we have to think of any person we can get voting in the swing states that are going to decide this election.
And in those states, frankly, the policies of Joe Biden and Kamala Harris have been the most destructive.
Like, you look at Michigan.
We have got to win Michigan.
Kamala Harris wants to ban the gas car.
She has literally supported legislation to make it illegal to have a gas combustible engine.
How this woman is within 10 points of us in Michigan is totally beyond me.
And then you look at places like Nevada, where the high prices on housing are crushing a lot of the middle class people who live in the suburbs there, and they want to be able to afford energy, their trip to the grocery store.
Kamala Harris is the most liberal candidate for president
We're good to go.
Kamala Harris is the quintessential machine candidate.
She came through the California machine.
And so think about the people who have promoted Kamala Harris.
They've been Californians who now have the most illegals, they have the highest prices, they have the highest crime, and they're the state where people are leaving and getting out of there.
So America should not make the mistake
We're good to go.
We're good to go.
On the border and on the type of teamwork you and I know it takes in order to get these folks deterred from from crossing illegally.
Yeah, so I gotta ask you, are you wearing a Florida man shirt, Matt?
Because that's kind of amazing.
Dude, of course I am the ultimate Florida man.
I'm out here ginger and I actually caught some vermilion snapper this morning.
Had a rally around noon and have been knocking on doors since.
All right, speaking of that, can we get, like, the Red Snapper season to be longer than one day?
Because, like, it was a one-day season this year.
My buddy calls me, he's like, hey, you want to go?
I'm like, yeah, but it's blowing 25 miles an hour, so it's like, I kind of want to, but, like, I also don't want to get my ass kicked for six hours to catch a couple of Red Snapper.
Can we make that happen?
I mean, is there something we can do about this?
Yeah, there's no question right now, actually, that the Biden-Harris Commerce Department is just crushing the individual rights of anglers to be able to fish.
Just be able to do, like, the thing that the caveman was allowed to do.
Get out and catch a fish.
Now the Department of Commerce is saying regular Americans can't do.
The good news is, during the Trump administration, we actually relied on the science.
And we, as a fisherman yourself, I'm a fisherman, we're the ultimate conservationists.
Like, we want to take our kids and grandkids out to be able to fish these fisheries, and so we're not going to overfish them, but we're also not going to have some, like, pansexual, blue-haired Woketopian who wandered through a few biology classes at Tufts all of a sudden dictate to regular Americans that we're not able to access a resource that connects us to the environment, that draws us closer to the environment, that makes us love and appreciate the environment even more.
Yeah, no, I've actually seen some of the scientists out there that didn't know the basics about being on the water, didn't know the basics of the species stuff, but they're making decisions that the anglers who are actually intimately familiar with everything that's going on, I mean, we had one that they actually broke down out there, didn't know how to actually take care of their own boat, so we had to help them and, you know, fill up the hydraulic fluid in their steering column and like, you know, basic stuff.
Like, this is like, this is not, but hey, anyway, minor details.
It was the fishermen who saved us on the Chevron case.
Remember, while we're celebrating the great anglers of this country, the bureaucrats forever had a presumption that they were right whenever you wanted to challenge the bureaucrats.
And that was the case after Republican appointees to the Supreme Court, Democrat appointees, and it was only when you got the Trump Supreme Court
We're good to go.
We're good to go.
And yet, you're right.
All of those things never get fought locally, where people actually have input, where they have an understanding.
It gets sent to D.C.
where they can figure out how to play to the heartstrings of some judge who has no business making a decision on these things because they couldn't possibly fathom the details that goes into it.
So you're right.
Chevron was great.
I'm glad the fishermen stepped up and did that.
Yeah, and can you only imagine the bureaucrats you would get in a Kamala Harris administration?
It would be San Francisco moving to Washington, D.C.
to tell the rest of us how to live our lives.
Joe Biden, bad guy, corrupt guy, but at least Joe Biden had been around Washington, D.C.
for a long time and wasn't finding the type of radicals that you'll get out of
Kamala Harris.
Remember that genderless warlord from the Chazz?
That's going to be your new head of the EPA if Kamala Harris is somehow in a position of power.
You're going to have Gavin Newsom, who has people defecating on the streets in his cities and in his state, in a major role in the cabinet.
I absolutely guarantee it.
That is the ideology and the mentality that regular Americans just want to fight against.
Look,
We want to build an America that's good even for the people who hate us.
Our vision of making America great again doesn't pick sides.
We think that a rising economy is like a rising tide, and it's going to raise all boats.
And Donald Trump knows how to get this economy moving again, and it's not even that complicated.
It's to become more productive.
It's to get access to cheap energy that is available to us so that our businesses can grow, they can make more capital investment, and money is coming into the United States instead of going out of the United States.
We don't talk about trade enough, I think, on this campaign, Don.
Like, in all these speeches you and I are giving, we need to be talking about trade a lot more, because if you look at the jobs created in places like Pennsylvania, Michigan, Wisconsin, because of the renegotiated deal that we have in our hemisphere with North America, the USMCA, I mean, that is changing people's lives for the better, and not just Republicans.
Independence and Democrats are living better lives because of the way that happened.
Now that President Trump has that as a blueprint, imagine how we can reposition the U.S.'
's interests in Asia, throughout Latin America.
The opportunities are actually going to be in our country rather than the middle class being hollowed out in America and the Middle Kingdom being built up in China.
A hundred percent.
And you know, again, what's nice about this election is you actually had four years under the policies of both people on the ticket.
Like, ask yourself, when were you better off?
When did America exude strength?
When were, you know, was everyone not at war?
When was inflation in check?
When were interest rates low?
And it ain't now.
So it sort of feels like an easy one.
But Matt, I'd love to get your reaction.
I don't know if you saw my father's press conference, but
You know, the compare and contrast between the Trump-Vance campaign and the Harris-Walz campaign right now, because they could not be more different, even though, you know, the Democrats are obviously getting corroboration like I've never seen before from the media, from tech, who are allowing them to essentially do nothing.
Yeah, let's unpack the media's catbath, the never-ending catbath of Kamala Harris.
My theory on that is they were just so happy to get any lifeboat away from the sinking ship that was Joe Biden.
Like, if you're on a sinking ship and a lifeboat appears, you're willing to get on it no matter what.
And I think that we're missing a lot of the barnacles that are there.
Kamala Harris is not some fresh face in American politics.
She's not some new and energetic character.
We're good.
12, 14 million illegal aliens, and that's just those who are here.
You and I both know that border is going to get flung wide open if she has the opportunity to leave this country, and the results will be catastrophic.
And when you look at the focus of President Trump's press conference today, what was it about?
It was about the things that people have to deal with every day, whether you're going to be able to have a steak for a barbecue, whether or not you're going to be able to get some snacks for your kids.
I think so.
It gets confused as isolationism.
We don't believe in isolationism is all.
We need, we want America to have great friends around the world, and we want to nurture those relationships by being the best version of ourselves.
Not by being dead money at the poker table, not by being the world's piggy bank or the world's police force, but by being a shining example.
You know what our State Department does now?
They go pressure countries to like see what they're doing during Pride Month, rather than aligning interests that could make our country richer.
When Donald Trump was president, even the dictators were on their best behavior.
The dictators knew that Trump was unpredictable, and so they better not mess around.
Whereas with Joe Biden, it was all paint by numbers.
They knew exactly what he was going to do, and they manipulated him.
And with Kamala Harris, I just don't think there's any credibility whatsoever.
Keep in mind, Don, she goes to Ukraine
Four days before the invasion to try to deter Putin, and they laughed at her.
They thought she was a joke.
They didn't view her as a serious person who could represent the United States of America.
I forgot all about that.
I don't know how that's not bigger news.
You're right.
They sent her to fix it since Joe's, you know, Joe doesn't exactly strike fear into the hearts of dictators.
But clearly neither does Kamala Harris.
Yeah, you're right.
They totally just laughed it off.
Like, who's this clown?
Get out of here.
Yeah, and I think that when you look at the world we're inheriting, it's an incredibly dangerous one.
I think back to when Obama sat down with your father and said, the number one problem in the world today is what's going on with North Korea.
And then your dad had this terrific fire and ice thing with Kim Jong-un, where one minute he's saying my red button's bigger than yours, the other saying that
You know, we can have a great productive relationship so long as you don't do these things that are are destabilizing.
And he kind of kept him in a box with that fire and ice strategy.
Now you've got the invasion doctrine of Biden-Harris.
Our country's being invaded.
Israel's being invaded.
Ukraine's being invaded.
You know, you could see the preparations for an invasion of Taiwan.
That would not happen under Donald Trump because I think there's, look, there's just an alpha male energy and there's also a seriousness.
There's a seriousness backed up by credible force.
It's hard to be a serious character when your administration
You're looking like a Tim Walsh.
A big victory for him was making sure there's tampons in boys' bathrooms.
I'm fairly confident that President Xi of China or Putin or anyone
Like they see that and like they laugh like it's America has fallen when that's that's a major accomplishment and they're talking about it seriously like those people especially you know you know a Chinese dictator and a Russians or Eastern European strongman like
They laugh their asses off.
They love seeing it.
They're winning.
They don't have to fire a single shot.
They know that America's going down on its own because of that.
And yet, that's what it does.
We've seen Kamala Harris.
We've seen Tim Walz.
We've seen them embrace the most extreme positions of the Democrat Party.
But now, they're just hoping that they can run and hide from it.
They don't want to campaign about anything that's of substance, but they're getting away with that, man.
How do we, how do we draw them out?
How do we force the media to tell the American people that, you know, Tim Walz isn't this folksy guy from the Midwest.
He's a radical Marxist clown.
Kamala Harris isn't a moderate.
She wasn't, you know, can't distance herself from Biden's policies.
She's literally the number two person in that administration.
Their own press secretary said there's no distance between or no light between her policies and what Joe Biden's been doing and yet that's failed America literally objectively across the board.
How does the American populace finally figure that out?
We have to continue to tether Kamala Harris to the failed policy choices that she contributed to directly.
It wasn't like she was sent off to go attend weddings and funerals during the Biden presidency.
She was quite literally the tie-breaking vote on the bill that created the high prices.
We have the high prices and the high interest rates and the high foreclosure rates and the low home ownership rates and the high default rates on credit cards right now principally for one reason.
Unchecked government spending.
And we have that because Vice President Harris cast the tie-breaking vote to do all of it.
She owns absolutely all of it.
So, I think that's a way to draw them into a debate about the policy choices that she is so lashed to.
You have also seen recently, though, the mainstream media reporting that she is trying to do anything she can to distance herself from the Biden record, to turn the page, to kind of shuffle him off to the side.
No wonder.
But, look,
He wasn't running the White House, okay?
We all know he wasn't running the show.
And so she's either a person who's an ineffective leader, or, you know, she was purposefully leading the country down this path of border invasion, high prices, war everywhere.
So Matt, I agree with you fully, but I got to ask you, what's going on in Congress lately?
Are we ever going to get to the bottom of what's going on with the Secret Service?
You saw more breaking news now.
A woman left her post at a Trump's place to go breastfeed her child.
I mean, I don't know.
Listen, breastfeeding's great.
I have five kids.
My ex, their mom, did a lot of breastfeeding.
But she wasn't on guard at the Secret Service.
Like, am I missing something here?
Like, you know, someone's gonna say, you're being anti-woman, but it's like, I don't know.
It sort of feels like if you're a Secret Service agent on post, maybe that's not the place for you when you're breastfeeding.
What's going on?
It never ends.
Every day it's more.
And perhaps during the presidential cycle where there's already been one assassination attempt.
Yeah, minor details like that.
And you know I had a great relationship with my guys.
Like, I'm lifelong friends with guys when I had a detail.
It's like, like, I want to call them and be like, really?
And they'll come back and they're just, you know, send me like, they're like, you know, downtrodden emoji.
I think it's part of this bigger problem we have in every agency in Washington now, where we've gotten away from meritocracy at the top.
Look, there are still countless patriotic Americans who are volunteering for the Secret Service, the CIA, the military, the FBI, and they are good people, and God bless them, thank goodness we still have patriotic people who love our country who want to see the good in some of these entities.
The issue is in the incentive structure for promotion.
You see, the Obamas put a regime in place where the way people moved up was embracing the DEI agenda, embracing the wokeism, not taking the type of action that really puts government on the side of the people, but instead that which concentrates power.
And we would want to think that the Secret Service, right, the toughest guys, people you and I look up to and admire as heroes when they're on Your Detail and around all of our activities,
They're not the problem.
It's that the wrong people, I think, in a lot of cases have been promoted.
And that's where kind of the resistance movement during the Trump presidency stalled some of our momentum and success, because they would embed these people deep into these agencies that stop the good folks from moving up, and I think move the bad folks around.
And I think the second time around, we'll have a lot more kryptonite for that system that hurt the country.
I agree, but I also think those bad guys that got promoted up are also making sure to not hire the guys that would be good guys.
They're not just not getting promotions, they're making sure, you know, the military, like, you know, if you want to be an admiral, just, you know, be trans, it's fine.
Well, you know, sure, anyone can be an admiral, like, why not?
So, it's more than just that.
There are some great patriots, some of the, you know, the door kickers are great guys, and they talk to me about this stuff all the time, they're embarrassed.
But,
But there comes a point in time where they're not even letting those guys in the door, let alone promotions at this point, because the bureaucracy has been so corrupted by these lunatics that it's a bigger problem than just not getting promotions.
And I think in the military, they are trying to convert what was the last great bastion of conservatives, patriotic thought, into a group of social justice warriors.
And you can't do that with a highly focused and inspired patriotic force.
So what they're doing is they're trying to deter those people from signing up.
We're good to go.
We don't want to destroy everything.
We want everything to be the best version that it can be.
And I think that under President Trump's unifying leadership, we can achieve that.
Now, it's going to take going into some of these places, not with an exacto knife, but with a meat cleaver.
That's what some of them need.
But that actually creates the opportunity for regrowth and new beginnings that have the correct focus and the correct agenda.
Yeah, I want to ask you a little bit about Florida.
Democrats, they're out there saying that Florida's in play.
You're a Florida man.
You're even wearing the Florida man shirt.
What do you think?
Is that just a... I don't see it, and I live here, but what do you think?
Is that just an idea to pull our money from Pennsylvania to win a state we're going to win by 10 points?
Yeah, no, the Democrats should definitely believe Florida's in play, and they should spend a lot of money here.
I remember in the 2020 cycle when Michael Bloomberg spent $100 million just himself in the state of Florida, and we increased our vote lead from 2016 and 2020.
Here's the math.
Well, he spent a billion dollars and only won American Samoa, so I'm not sure that's the best example, but yes, your point's been made.
Yeah, that you can spend $100 million and lose by a larger margin is the lesson Democrats learned last time.
And really, you know why?
Because a lot of these Latinos and Latinas are coming our way.
A lot of Hispanic voters, culturally in Florida, they're builders.
They're part of building great communities.
A lot of them are in construction trades.
They build large families and a sense of togetherness.
And the Kamala Harris approach to
Politics by destruction is very off-putting to Hispanic voters in the Sunshine State, and that gives us a really great ballast in all of the areas of our state to do exceptionally well.
So, yes, please, spend another $100 million in Florida, Democrats.
Light it on fire.
But at the end of the day, we don't want to go the direction of California.
We know a lot of Californians who have chosen Florida as their refugee camp.
Yeah, no, I saw I went to game five of the Stanley Cup finals and you know, that's obviously Miami-Dade historically very Democrat and you know, I went around I've never seen it.
My kids were with me.
They're like, wow, we've been everywhere with you.
I've never seen a response like that.
And again, that's you know, that's across the board.
That's a regular
It was it was insane and I was I just literally the next morning I called the campaign folks I was like just literally don't spend a single dollar in Florida so maybe we'll force the Democrats to spend something because I basically pulled all our money out of Florida as best I could because I was like there's no way like it's impossible but
But, you know, you're one of the most popular congressmen, you know, certainly in your home district, out of anyone in Congress, but perhaps maybe one of the least popular inside of the swamp.
You know, I see the infighting all the time.
Why is that, Matt?
How can you be so popular at home and so not popular with the people in D.C.? ?
It's about the money, Don.
It's that I don't take the lobbyist money and the PAC money.
I am the only Republican in Congress who refuses all donations from lobbyists and political action committees.
And there are days when just that alone makes me feel like a Neo in the Matrix.
Because I am able to immediately put the needs of my constituents first.
They're the only people I work for.
They're the only people I have to answer to.
And they're the only people who can fire me.
And that is drawn into sharp focus every two years when I have my performance review before my bosses.
And so I think that's the special connection that is more permissible with Donald Trump as president.
I mean, like, Republicans had no small-dollar geyser of cash before Donald Trump.
He was the guy that got people giving
50 bucks, 100 bucks at a time sometimes to candidates who inspire them.
And so my donors who fund my campaign, they're not rich billionaires in a lot of cases.
They're certainly not Beltway power brokers.
They're regular Americans who go to macates.com.
They give a little bit of money so that I can be at my best, so that I can fight back.
And yeah, I am not going to win any Mr. Congeniality Awards in Washington, D.C.
But that's not to say we don't have great team members.
We've got people like Ana Paulina Luna, we've got people like General Scott Perry, Andy Biggs, just that Eli Crane, more than I can even name, who on so many different battles, whether it's spending or the border or fighting corruption, they stand with us.
There are also some reforms that I've proposed that the congressmen hate.
One, I think donations from lobbyists and PACs should be illegal.
Two, I think that members of Congress should be barred for life from becoming lobbyists or registered foreign agents.
And then finally, I think that for the same reason you don't let the umpire bet on the game, you should not let members of Congress trade individual stocks.
These are things that have 80% plus approval everywhere in the country except the 202 area code in Washington, D.C., and it gets me a lot of really angry stares there.
Yeah, it's sort of like why, like, well, term limits may be really popular.
They're never, they're never going to be popular in DC because they're never going to vote themselves out of the power and the money that comes with it.
So yeah, I'm like, I love the idea.
Just, it's never going to happen until we can, you know, it, yeah, it's not going to happen anytime soon.
So I got to ask you Matt, you know, give us a day one agenda.
Okay.
It's 12.01 PM Eastern time on inauguration day.
What are the first things you do if you're Trump or if you're pushing Trump?
First, it's the border.
We institute the Trump border policies that were done without Congress, by the way.
Keep in mind, everything Trump did on the border, he did while Paul Ryan and Mitch McConnell were serving the corporate interests that wanted an open border, that wanted cheap labor.
So, he
We're good to go.
Well, I agree with you.
Give everyone again, just for the people in your district that are watching, give us the rundown.
Your primary on Tuesday.
You can go vote for Matt Gaetz there.
Is it a pretty solid straight ticket in your district in terms of who you want in there?
Are there Republicans you don't want?
I know I've seen some of that in some of the other places where there's literally like radical Democrats running as Republicans because there's been historically
You know, it's just sort of crazy.
I'm seeing some of that in Palm Beach County, which is always Democrat, but has sort of flipped a lot in terms of people's mentality.
And so there's people that are radical Democrats running as Republicans trying to sort of grandstand and get in there.
Yeah, that wouldn't work here in the Florida Panhandle.
We've all heard of Democrats, but we've never actually seen one in the wild.
It's a lot like the Florida Panther.
We know they're out there.
There's a couple out there, but yeah.
Yeah, I haven't seen them myself, but no.
Here, it's a very military veteran.
A lot of retired law enforcement first responders come here.
This is a wonderful, idyllic place.
I do need my constituents to get out and vote in droves on Tuesday for me, August 20th.
And actually, right now, Don, we're in early voting.
So, in Escambia, Santa Rosa, Okaloosa, and Walton counties, folks can go out on Friday.
They can go out on Saturday, cast that ballot.
And, really, we have got to start building that muscle memory to get those votes in early.
That's why I'm telling folks to vote early.
Because whether it's Pennsylvania or Wisconsin, these could be very close elections, and getting our votes in the bank will allow us to be a more resilient force.
Let us never forget the mistake in Arizona, where our good friend, and hopefully the next Senator, Kerry Lake, asked voters to wait until Election Day, and then lo and behold, on Election Day, machines broke, and volunteers didn't show up, and long lines, and so we want to be the most resilient force possible.
And I'm hoping to put that on display in my primary in this election.
Well, I wish you a lot of luck there, Matt.
Thank you so much for joining us here tonight.
Really appreciate it.
Guys, if you're in the district, vote.
Vote Republican.
Vote early.
I agree.
We've got to embrace these other ways because the Democrats are running a six-week-long election day.
We're not going to win them by one day.
It rains and all of a sudden we lose a district that we should win by 20 points.
It's insane.
So we've just got to get involved.
We've got to get out there early and do all of that.
Congressman Matt Gaetz, thank you so much.
Really appreciate it.
Good to talk to you, as always.
Guys, I'm going to take a couple questions here for a few minutes before we wrap up for the night.
So, just wanted to make sure if you have anything before we get going for the evening and for the weekend.
I hope you guys all plan on having a great weekend.
Make sure you guys are liking, sharing, subscribing.
Let's see if there's anything good in here.
Sort of feel like we covered a lot.
Obviously, I took a bunch of questions on Monday, so maybe we covered it then.
Probably be able to do the same.
Do we know who's on on Monday?
This coming Monday yet, guys?
We don't know yet.
So who's coming on Monday?
So if they're good, great.
If they're not, then, you know, we'll take a lot of questions and keep you busy that way.
All right, listen, we gotta, you know, not everyone's, you know, not everyone's the greatest.
It's fine.
It's, you know, just kidding.
Everyone's wonderful.
Do you like raw carrots?
Sometimes, I guess.
It's probably not something I go out of my way to eat, but, you know, I certainly don't mind them every once in a while.
Ah, Tocum, any updates on Steve Bannon?
You know, I obviously spent quite a bit of time with Maureen Bannon.
Uh, at, uh, the RNC.
Um, I then went to Alaska for a week shortly after that, so I actually haven't touched base, so I do have to do that.
That's a great reminder, actually.
Um, I think that's really, uh, that's an important one.
Um, and so, you know, I'll touch base.
Obviously, just a great guy.
I hosted War Room for him.
That way, people are asking about a Conway update.
I assume that's a Kellyanne Conway.
I don't know.
I don't think there's any update.
You know, she's doing her thing, and, uh,
Whatever it may be, I'm not aware that she's really, you know, involved in any way.
I think she's a great, she's very good on TV.
She's a good spokesperson.
She understands some of those issues, but, you know, I don't know that she's involved in any real way.
I guess, okay, so people are asking about Conway as it relates to the sort of, I guess, you know, the Ukrainian money and, you know, yeah, so it just, again,
Hey, I don't want to, you know, knock friends and people I like, but like, you know, there's certain things you can't do when, you know, this is one of the biggest issues of our time.
We can't have stuff in there looking like it's, you know, quid pro quo or clearly a setup or doing these kinds of things.
So no real update, no, no involvement that I'm aware of.
I'm fairly involved, you know, you know, maybe, you know, casual conversations or, you know, you know, on certain things.
And, you know, someone I think is really good on TV and does a good job with that.
I think that's the extent of it, to my knowledge, right now, and that probably makes sense, given, again, given the Ukraine stuff.
We can't negotiate peace if someone's sort of, you know, on that payroll and is part of the conversation.
That probably makes it pretty hard, but, you know, that's just me.
Your dad should do all of his answers in the next conference as Kamala, since she won't do it.
That's kind of funny.
Yeah.
Uh, well listen, she's now, it's almost like you had to put a MAGA hat on Kamala Harris.
She's taking all of our policies, pretending they're her own, even if she voted against these things explicitly.
Actually, it voted to enforce the opposite of what she's, um, saying now.
And so, that's a real problem.
But, you know, again, the media will let her get away, but for long enough, let's see what happens.
I'm sure, you know, they'll try to get their bump out of the DNC, and then you got two months of just abject war, and
You know, it's going to be us versus the Democrats versus the media versus big tech.
They'll all be colluding together to try to get an outcome that they want and we got to make sure we stop that.
So yeah, by the way, locals guys, I heard locals is down.
So I'll hit that on Monday for the locals folks to make sure we get them in there.
I can't do it now or even pull it up now or do it afterwards like I normally do.
To give you your own time, but my team just let me know that it's down.
Otherwise I'd have done, you know, my 15, 20, 30 minutes over there taking your questions directly.
That way it's a smaller group.
I'm able to get to a lot more people.
Let's see.
Tim Walz, nickname AWalz.
Yeah, I like that one.
I like Tampon Tim.
It's kind of funny.
But honestly, it's about Kamala Harris.
We spend a lot of time knocking Tim Walz, and I do for sure.
But Kamala Harris, it's not like he's just a bad person on the second part of the ticket that may or may not ever come to fruition.
She's arguably worse, or just as bad, or just as crazy with her policy.
So Becky Liu, 21-13, do you ever relax?
I would hate being in focus 24-7.
I'm always praying for you and your family.
Love to you."
Yeah, I think I do.
I mean, I probably won't get too much in the next 90 days.
I want to get some, you know, just usual annual physical, blood work, all that kind of stuff done.
I try to keep track of that stuff.
And apparently, like, my fight or flight response is, like, off the charts right now, because I guess I basically feel like I'm basically always in a fight.
So I'm sure that's not awesome or healthy, I think.
You know, come November 6th, you know, or maybe January 20th.
You know, certainly if we win, you know, figure out how to take some time and do that.
But I'm actually still pretty good about, you know, getting out there, trying to go fishing, get out there, try to go shooting, try to do stuff on the weekend.
It's a, you know, so I am pretty good about that.
I'm able to, I've set my life up so I work from home and my studio's at home.
So, you know, I can do some of those things.
But yeah, no, it's not the easiest thing in the world.
And no, I definitely, I'm definitely more amped up.
These days than I have been the last couple of months have been sort of brutal and just just so much stuff going on.
Honestly, you know whether it's your business stuff that's going on and some of that's great, but it it takes up time and just life and you campaign so I will get a chance to relax in three to six months and I'll make sure to do that because.
Yeah, otherwise I'll probably have a heart attack.
Don Jr., I get so much mail asking for money, but I'm not sure if it's all from you and your father.
I mean, if the stuff is official RNC stuff, I probably gave him, you know, sort of, let's call it the, you know, the ability to use my name.
I know people always ask me, like, hey, Don, did you just text me for money?
I'm like, dude, you have my cell phone number.
Like, you realize, like, that's, it's campaign stuff.
It is, you know, they do send it, I guess.
I'm aware of most of the stuff.
And I, you know, my, my guys will check to make sure.
I hate when they send the message, like, you're a traitor.
It's Don Jr.
You're a traitor.
If you don't send $90,000 by noon, it's like,
That stuff drives me crazy.
I guess it's effective, so they do it, but... So I've tried to, you know, tamp down some of that stuff, because I just don't like it.
It's not me sending it, obviously, but, you know, there are teams that do that, and, you know, they have my permission to do that, and we are raising funds for certain things, but...
You know, the WinRed stuff has been good.
That's sort of the way we do a lot of it.
You can go, if you're donating directly to my father, just go to DonaldJTrump.com is a good way to do it.
You know, those are the ones, you know, people are like, I don't trust XYZ.
And so, you know, it's hard.
I mean, I have people.
Tell me, you know, you know, I want to send seven dollars.
Can you send me the address of the I'm like, oh my God, I for the love please people like and I appreciate it.
I mean, it's awesome.
It's it's cool.
But like I literally get a hundred times like that from people.
I know like actual text like, you know, can you send me the physical mailing address?
I'm like,
Like, I gotta go find the fit for the, you know, $7.
Like, it's, uh, but every dollar counts.
So I usually do it.
Sometimes I'm not in the mood.
I just, I'll get it the seventh time they ask me.
Um, so let's see.
You get those all the time.
The text email, those I delete.
Yeah, well, you know, again, you can donate there.
It's important.
It does matter.
But yeah, when people are like, is that you?
I'm like, dude, we speak three times a week.
You know it's not me.
That's not my cell phone.
If it's coming from 88022, that's the campaign.
And it's real.
So 88022 is the big one from a tech standpoint to make sure you're watching out for.
And so that's fine.
Just peachy.
Sorry, Don Jr., my donations go to the boss.
It's fine.
That's what I told you to do.
DonaldJTrump.com.
That's the one.
I just saw Remington 870, a fine pump shotgun.
I like it.
My first shotgun was Remington 1100, the semi-automatic sort of version of that, but I don't see any other question as it relates to that.
Usually,
The gun questions are nice, because I can go off on a tangent for minutes, and that's a good one.
Interview your father on one of your shows.
He should do more of those chats.
Yeah, I will.
You know, honestly, I almost hate asking him.
Obviously, that's a big show, but it's like... Sometimes it's cheaper just not to.
Not that it costs anything, right?
But it's like, I gotta pay for it, then if I'm a little too funny or a little too glib or whatever, I gotta pay for it later.
So it's like, eh, we'll see.
X drop top, doing any long range.
That's, you know, long range is sort of my preferred.
I spend a lot of time with carbines and handguns and stuff like that just because I think that stuff's really important for just, you know, self-defense and, you know, they're shooting at my dad.
So as the guy that was the number two most threatened person in the Secret Service when I had a detail after my father.
You know, makes sense to be prepared, makes sense to practice, but like my passion is long range precision, like I love that stuff.
So yeah, so whenever I can, I shoot long range.
I'm hoping to get some in this weekend.
I bought a Frisbee at the Trump store, never plan on using it.
Maybe I can get all of the Trumps to sign it one day.
I can dream, can't I?
Donny's idea?
You can, you know, I'll start putting up my schedule where I'm going to be.
If we're in your area, I'll make sure to hit that up and you just never know.
So hopefully we can get to that.
DJT is a regular riot with his humor.
I certainly agree with that.
Elon Trump buying CNN?
Not that I'm aware of.
Thank you, Don Jr., for your family and for your sacrifices.
Listen, guys, it's a small price to pay for any of this.
I think he's coming back as sort of an informal advisor.
You know, people are out there.
He's running the campaign.
That's not true.
Chris LaCivita, really Susie Wiles, is running the campaign.
Chris LaCivita's sort of running the RNC side of that.
Uh, but you know, Susie Wells has been our go to, you know, Corey, you know, was there earlier.
They want to think he's coming back as sort of a informal advisor.
I spoke to the entire team today that I don't even know if it's even a defined role, but now, you know, according to them and according to, you know, direct conversations with my father, he's not coming back and
And, you know, being the guy in charge and, you know, I'm sure people in D.C.
and, you know, they love to run that around and they'll leak that and, you know, plenty of people may be close to him or whatever, you know, otherwise are leaking that as well to try to, you know, put themselves in proximity to power.
I mean, it's a scumbag game, folks.
So just, you know, don't believe everything that you read.
And so, uh, that's good.
LaCivita update.
Listen, I think, honestly, I think Chris is a good operator in these things.
I know there's a lot of commentary in here that is negative, uh, you know, towards him.
Uh, you know, but I think he does a good job at the role that he's doing.
I spend time talking to him and everything like that.
So, you know, I know there's some people that have issues with that and people do the, you know, fire Suzy and fire LaCivita, fire, you know, fire everyone.
Usually people that either
Don't know or they're listening to like the you know the the grifters that are out there you know they they they were a rhino and they were part of someone else's campaign and now they don't have a way to make money from the campaign so they're trying to get in and they're motherfucking everyone else behind their back so that it seems like they're the ones that are doing the right thing and it's all bullshit folks it's all a big lie so um
La Civita apparently posted anti-Trump stuff in the past.
Yeah, guess what?
You know who else did?
Literally everyone in the Republican Party, if you go back to 2016.
I remember everyone, okay?
Then I have a list of all of those people, and then I see people who come around and who admit they were wrong, and I understand that the policies worked, and I can understand a lot of people who were skeptical in 2016 of Trump coming in and doing this.
Like I told you, I almost got in a fight with a senator on the floor of the RNC in 2016, like an actual fistfight.
That guy happens to be one of my good friends now.
You know, things do change.
So, but yeah, the grifters are out there and they'll bring up the thing that someone said in 2014 about this and, you know, negate the last five years or eight years or ten years or whatever it may be.
Uh you know and and just say that's what we're we're sticking with that because it suits them uh or because they make money you know from peddling the influence or creating the chaos but those people honestly if you're creating chaos right now and on our side trying to play that game like
Imagine trying to switch out a team with 80 days left like it's not even possible like just the the ramp up time and the efficiency like even if it's not it say what you want even if it's not an ideal team to to switch and start from scratch right now people who haven't been involved in years or ever or like
It's just not that easy, man.
These things are tankers.
They're not, unfortunately, little nimble operations.
You've got to deal with DJT.
You've got to understand his moods, his proclivities, whatever it may be.
It's not the easiest thing in the world.
So the people who are talking that usually don't know what they're talking about, I think it's actually probably the best run machine of the three campaigns that we've run in terms of some of those details.
Is everything ever perfect?
100% not.
It's never going to be when you have the media working against you, when you have big tech working against you.
You know, I like to call out the grifters when I can and just, you know, make sure that people understand that because, uh, it's, uh, it's important.
Uh, love that you meet with us, Don Jr.
Uh, how can we help?
Poll watch.
Yeah, listen, get yourselves involved.
That's Teddy Legend.
Uh, yeah, get yourself involved, sign up, you know, volunteer local RNC offices, especially if you know people who are lawyers, the technical guys, like poll watchers, that's important, but you need someone who's also tough and will, you know, stand up.
The other side's vicious with this stuff, you know.
They'll call you every name in the book there to your face.
You can't, it can't just be an older, soft person that's just trying to do the right thing in some of these roles.
That's a great person for something else.
Maybe door knocking, whatever it may be.
But you know, sign up at your local RNC offices, get involved however you can.
That's a big one.
Old guys rule one.
Thank you for what you're doing.
Mossberg 940.
Listen, that's classic pump as well.
Some of the Mossbergs and you know, just great great American shotguns.
So 100% real men needed.
Yeah, God knows we need more of that in America right now.
What time of day down and rumble?
I'm I'm here 6 PM Mondays and Thursdays eventually.
We're going to add another one, probably.
I just got to figure out when I can find the time.
Right now, I'm on the road so much.
I'm just traveling so much.
I want to make sure we can do that.
I love that I've never once heard your dad speak of the shooting without mentioning Corey Comptor by name.
Yeah, listen, it's important, man.
There's just an absolute tragedy should have never happened.
Sorry that it did, and I'm glad that he recognizes those things that that's important and it matters.
Let's see.
God bless your father and your family.
Well, thank you guys.
Well guys, I think with that, I'm gonna go get a bite to eat.
