	Thank you.
	another huge episode of Triggered, We are just two weeks from election day.
	Early voting is underway.
	It's actually started today right here in Florida, and we are in the final sprint to deliver a major MAGA victory with a side of McDonald's fries.
	We'll also be joined by author and human events host Jack Posobiec, who has a new book out called Bulletproof, which I actually had the privilege and honor of writing the foreword to.
	So we're going to have a lot to cover.
	So make sure you guys are liking, sharing, subscribing, so you never miss one of these major episodes.
	It's because of guys like you that we're able to do this.
	Make sure we get the message out.
	The rest of the mainstream media, the rest of big tech is so stacked against us.
	That's not an easy task.
	As incompetent and ridiculous as they are, those are trillion-dollar industries.
	That's what we're up against.
	So we have to work harder to make sure we break through all of the noise and actually grow this movement.
	Remember, guys, you can also get triggered this show on Spotify.
	You can get it on Apple Podcasts if you miss the show here on Rumble.
	And for all of the top headlines that we'll spotlight here on the show, go over to my news app, MXM News, where you can get the mainstream news without the mainstream bias.
	MXM, like minute by minute.
	All right, check it out.
	Uh, We've been canceled.
	We've been debanked.
	We've been all of the things, which means we're probably over the target.
	So I think you'll like it.
	And it's a lot better than the bias sources that you may be getting your stuff from already.
	So check that out.
	We appreciate it.
	Okay, guys, remember, in times of crisis, don't forget to protect yourself from economic and global turmoil with the Birch Gold Group.
	To learn more, text Don Jr., D-O-N-J-R, to the number 989898 and claim your free, no-obligation info kit on gold.
	So joining me now to get into a little bit more of the details of that is Philip Patrick from the Birch Gold Group.
	How are you doing, Philip?
	Doing well.
	Thank you for having me.
	Good to have you back.
	I mean, listen, the latest official inflation report came as quite a surprise to many analysts.
	Can you explain what's happening with inflation right now?
	You know, I don't even like to call it inflation because for those who, you know, may not do this every day, I call it the Kamala Harris, Joe Biden cost of living crisis.
	You know, what do you think what's going on with this?
	Well, first of all, I think it's a much better way to describe it.
	But, yeah, we're seeing another surge in inflation.
	Last month, the Fed cut interest rates by half a percent, using the cooling labor market as the excuse, saying it was a bigger economic risk than inflation.
	And of course, the very next report came in much higher, right?
	CPI or core CPI was at 3.3%.
	Only two categories of prices have actually declined over the last 12 months, energy commodities and vehicle prices.
	But that's it.
	Every other category, food, utilities, insurance, home prices, everything else is more expensive.
	And that's the reality of Bidenomics.
	Yeah.
	And I mean, when we talk about the cost of living crisis, you know, I see the vehicles came down to two, three points, but relative to five years ago, they're still up 15, 20 percent.
	I mean, you know, I bought a pickup truck this year and I'm like, wait a second.
	I mean, it feels like it was double the last time I looked for a car.
	I mean, so, you know, they tend to do that.
	They put out numbers.
	You're still much higher than you were, say, in 2020, but it came down relative to an all-time high.
	So it's down, but it's not really down to the average consumer.
	You know, what are these other inflationary pressures?
	Where are they coming from?
	Yeah, by the way, you're absolutely right, right?
	Inflation is compounded.
	But inflationary pressure comes from everywhere.
	The big one, the elephant in the room is, of course, government spending.
	And if we talk about the one thing that Biden and Kamala can do very well, it is spend money in a wasteful fashion.
	Seven trillion dollars of deficit spending has directly compounded to much higher prices.
	Of course, we have illegal immigration.
	We have illegal immigrants now competing for food, fuel, housing, Less than half of the illegal immigrants who've entered the country in the last two years are currently working, so they're putting a strain on resources.
	Of course, the warmongers, we have wars in the Middle East, contributing to higher prices, both in oil and a significant increase in international shipping costs.
	So multiple factors compounding now to create the problem that we're seeing today.
	I mean, I saw that recent New York Fed survey revealed that two in three American households are living paycheck to paycheck already.
	Can that get worse?
	I mean, how much worse can it get?
	The answer, sadly, is yes.
	Another four years of Kamala, I think, will do it.
	But what a stark contrast to where we were four years ago.
	But the answer is yes.
	Could it get worse?
	Americans have been accumulating debt in recent years because their paychecks just aren't keeping pace with the cost of living.
	Many Americans now, as we've seen in the news, are having to work multiple jobs just to sort of make ends meet.
	The majority of Americans earning over $100,000 a year are still living paycheck to paycheck, which is an absolute absurdity.
	So we need, as you know better than anyone else, we need an about turn in terms of the direction this economy is going.
	And it's not going to happen under Kamala.
	That is Bidenomics 2.0.
	So talk to us a little bit about gold.
	Obviously, we've seen so many highs in recent time.
	Obviously, it's a very natural hedge against that.
	But I mean, if this continues, and honestly, even if you win, you still have some pain for the years past.
	It doesn't just stop, right?
	Sometimes you have to still pay the piper.
	You know, what do you see there?
	Yeah, look, I see an increase in demand globally.
	The last two and a half years, central banks around the world are setting records for demand in gold.
	I think we have a tough storm to weather, right, no matter what happens in the election.
	I know we cannot suffer another four years of Kamala.
	We need a Trump victory.
	We need to head on another trajectory.
	But, you know, it's going to be a tough job.
	And I think, you know, Only Trump can do it.
	So we expect gold prices to continue to rise into next year on the back of inflation, which I think will be sticky, and a continued drop in demand for US dollars globally.
	So everybody out there should be looking at precious metals as a hedge, at the very least.
	Well, guys, you know, Philip, thank you very much.
	We really appreciate it.
	Guys, remember to text Don Jr., D-O-N-J-R, to the number 989898.
	Learn, educate yourself.
	There's no obligation.
	It's free.
	Do the diligence like you would in anything else in life.
	Just be prepared.
	Build up that knowledge base.
	Philip, thank you so much, and I look forward to talking to you again soon.
	You too.
	Thank you.
	And now, let's take a look at some of the top headlines.
	Of course, we'll start with today's news rundown with McDonald's, or should I say, Magadonals.
	So, my father's had some iconic photos throughout his campaign, this year especially, right?
	Whether it's the mugshot, Whether it's coming back defiant after getting shot in the face, there's a lot of them.
	There's probably a couple others.
	But yesterday's events at a Pennsylvania McDonald's may have actually been the most iconic one yet.
	I was thinking earlier today about how Rush Limbaugh used to always talk about drive-by media, right?
	He used to talk about him in those terms exactly.
	Well, yesterday...
	My father gave a drive-by press conference while working the McDonald's drive-thru.
	And those are words I never thought I would utter.
	But take a look at this.
	Mr.
	President, you actually have worked at McDonald's now versus...
	Now I have worked at McDonald's.
	I've now worked for 15 minutes more than Kamala.
	Are you going to put this on your resume?
	She never worked here.
	I've now worked 15 minutes more than Kamala.
	What have they put on your resume?
	I worked at McDonald's.
	Why would she lie about that?
	Because she's lying Kamala, that's why.
	Why would she lie?
	She should rely on it.
	McDonald's confirmed four times now.
	She never worked here.
	But that's — let's not talk about that.
	It's an amazing business.
	It's an amazing country.
	And we're going to make America greater than ever before.
	We're going to do it.
	And companies like this — look at the enthusiasm.
	I mean, that's thousands of people over there.
	They go miles back.
	That's incredible.
	So, look at that.
	We're going to get the Pittsburgh game tonight, and we look forward to it, and it should be a good game.
	And yeah, good team.
	They have a great coach.
	Pittsburgh's a great coach.
	And we'll see how it is.
	Hey guys, to be honest, I think this may have been some of the happiest...
	I've seen my father on the campaign trail.
	You know, it's like Tony Montana.
	You know, don't get high on your own supply.
	Everyone knows my father likes McDonald's.
	When he's working the fry, I wonder how much, let's just say shrinkage it is.
	Probably reminds me of like a Target in San Francisco where just stealing stuff off the side.
	So I'm sure he had a good time.
	I'm sure he ate well.
	But he was genuinely having just a blast and an awesome experience.
	Check this out.
	Okay, let's say...
	You believe this?
	Look at this guy.
	He's a MAGA guy all the way.
	Okay, so for his first order, yup.
	Boy, that's a good-looking group.
	Hello, everybody.
	This is not a normal situation, is it?
	How are you?
	What a good-looking family.
	How did you produce those good-looking kids?
	Oh, they look like the wife.
	They look like the wife.
	How are you?
	Nice to see you.
	That's great.
	Thank you, man.
	Thank you very much.
	Thank you.
	And there'll be no charge.
	Trump is paying for it.
	Is that okay?
	Oh, you're doing some extra stuff.
	This is all on Trump.
	I'm allowed to do that, right?
	Let's check and make sure.
	It's everything you said it would be.
	It better be.
	It's going to be the best you ever.
	I made it myself.
	Thank you, man.
	Thank you.
	Thank you.
	Have a good time.
	Have a good time.
	That's great, isn't it?
	How cute is it?
	Okay, next car?
	Do you like them both at the same time?
	Hello, how are you?
	You're a good-looking guy.
	We love you.
	Thank you very much.
	Thank you very much.
	I will.
	I promise.
	Thank you very much.
	That's on me.
	Okay?
	Have a good time.
	Thank you very much.
	I'll see you at the White House.
	Now, guys, of course, the left melted down after they saw how incredible it was.
	You know, people of all walks of life coming through.
	The commentary was amazing.
	The sentiment from the people absolutely riveting.
	They claimed it was staged because the patrons had to go through a security screening.
	Really?
	Really?
	Staged?
	I'm shocked.
	You mean Donald Trump wasn't really?
	Is he going to take a full-time job at McDonald's?
	That's all you have, guys?
	That's it?
	That's all you have left?
	Two weeks?
	I mean, that's how insane these people are at this point.
	And it was also another reminder of how Kamala Harris apparently lied about working at McDonald's.
	Remember when she said that?
	And yet, Donald Trump could be there.
	You'd think they'd come up with something.
	A pay stub, a note, anything, a picture, anything to actually prove it.
	But it was just another example of liberal projection.
	Everything Kamala Harris does is staged.
	And the Democrats know things are not looking good.
	Even Pennsylvania Senator Bob Casey is running ads featuring my father.
	I mean, think about that.
	He's running against Republican Dave McCormick.
	He votes with Joe Biden 90% of the time.
	It's insane.
	And yet, in a neck-and-neck race...
	Are you gonna run ads featuring Donald Trump and that you agree with him on these things?
	And that doesn't make sense.
	Don't believe it, by the way, folks.
	Casey is not a Republican.
	These are the people that will stymie the MAGA agenda if they win their Senate seats.
	So make sure you're voting for Dave McCormick.
	But again, It is telling that radical leftist Democrats are now even aligning with Donald Trump in the keystone state, and arguably the keystone state to this election.
	And in Wisconsin, it's the same story.
	Check this out.
	There was a sea change last week that we noticed.
	It was towards the end of the week in two of the battleground states in Pennsylvania and Wisconsin.
	The two senators there, the Democrats, who are the incumbents, they are in tough races.
	Bob Casey, Tammy, Baldwin.
	All of a sudden, they had somebody new in their ads.
	Watch here.
	Casey bucked Biden to protect fracking and he sided with Trump to end NAFTA and put tariffs on China to stop them from cheating.
	Tammy Baldwin got President Trump the signer Made in America bill.
	So now they're trying to be closer to Trump, but here's some stats.
	This is from the last congressional cycle.
	Casey voted with Biden 98.5% of the time and Baldwin 95.5% of the time.
	So are they seeing some writing on the wall that they need to figure out a way to get away from Biden-Harris?
	Yeah, Dana, let me say two things about this.
	First of all, what Bob Casey is saying is just not true.
	I've served with Bob Casey.
	He has been a down-the-line partisan Democrat during his entire time.
	He didn't actually defend Pennsylvania manufacturers, which is why I think Dave McCormick is ultimately going to win that race.
	But the politics of this are fascinating, because you notice Dave McCormick and Eric Hubdi, they're not running ads about how much they agree with Kamala Harris.
	It's the Democratic candidates who are running ads about how much they agree with Donald Trump.
	I think it suggests that what we've seen in our polling for weeks, what I think Kamala Harris has seen in her polling for weeks, is that Kamala Harris's policies just aren't popular.
	So people are trying to run away from it as much as they possibly can.
	This is a person, Kamala Harris, who cast a deciding vote on trillions of dollars in new spending, who signed on to the open border policies of the last three and a half years.
	Now she's trying to run as a change agent.
	Kamala Harris is more of the same.
	She governed that way.
	We will get even more of the bad policies in the last three and a half years if we promote her to president.
	It's why I think the American people are going to make Donald Trump the president of the United States in just two short weeks.
	Now, there was also a moment last week on CNN that tells you everything about the modern Democrat Party and how they're just so disconnected from day-to-day life, from what every American experiences on a day-to-day basis.
	For example, Brian Stelter, Thinks it's misinformation, guys.
	Stelter, Mr.
	Potato Head, thinks it's misinformation to say that many Americans have to drive on crumbling roads to go to bad schools.
	Watch.
	My point is that a lot of people look at how much money we've spent on this conflict, and they're asking themselves, my roads are crumbling, my schools suck, we just had major disasters across the country, FEMA doesn't have enough money allocated.
	I don't live in that country, by the way.
	America's not that horrible.
	Brian, if you get out of New York and talk to regular people.
	I don't live in New York.
	I live in a normal city, a normal town.
	My roads are not crumbling.
	I love New York, but my roads are not crumbling.
	My schools don't suck.
	I just get tired of the anti-America rhetoric.
	Maybe you're fortunate enough to put your kids in darn good schools.
	There are a lot of people in this country who aren't wealthy, who don't live in great cities.
	Who do have to send their kids to terrible schools.
	That is a fact because of their zip codes.
	And the singer arrogantly said, well, my kids go to great schools.
	I live in a great neighborhood.
	That's your experience.
	The roads are crumbling for most people in this country.
	I mean, come on, bro.
	Really?
	I don't know, guys.
	I drive all over America.
	If I go back home to the People's Republic of New York, I drive down some of the richest retail corners in the world and it's like driving in Afghanistan.
	The roads are a disaster.
	We're like 28th or 29th in the world in schools educating our children while spending more per capita than any other country, but Brian says, it's great where he lives, and I'm sure it is, guys.
	The liberal elite are disconnected and think that's just because their personal life is nice and it's easy and they're protected.
	That everyone else must be doing great too.
	The reality is the country is worse off in the past four years as wages haven't kept up with inflation.
	We're in a cost-of-living crisis.
	A cost-of-living crisis created by the insane policies of today's Democrat Party.
	Created by Joe Biden and his sidekick Kamala Harris.
	Who's been, in her own words, the last person in the room on every major decision made in the last four years.
	Joe said it, she said it, and we've seen the results.
	Vote accordingly.
	A recent Gallup poll showed that 52% of the country feels worse off than they were four years ago.
	That's why Kamala Harris is losing.
	She has failed.
	Now, we've talked about it, frankly, nonstop.
	Kamala Harris' failure at the border and the flood of illegal immigrant criminals and the drugs.
	But one thing I haven't touched on much is what's happening on the other side of the border.
	It's not getting much attention, but there's a full-blown cartel war going on in Mexico right now.
	In the month of September alone, more than 50 people were killed in Sinaloa.
	It's not just, like, gang violence there, folks.
	The cartels there are armed like a real army.
	In many cases, far better armed than the Mexican army itself, because they're making billions and billions of dollars, killing our children, smuggling their fentanyl and their drugs, and sex trafficking young girls and boys and everything else.
	Here's a video of a cartel member trying to shoot down a Mexican helicopter with a .50 caliber rifle.
	There's no reason to have an open border when you're next door to a war zone.
	That's just common sense.
	There's no more clear and present threat to America than what the cartels are doing.
	100,000 Americans killed by fentanyl every year.
	That's two Vietnams.
	But no, no, no.
	We got another 250 billion for Ukraine, folks.
	We don't know why.
	We don't know where it's going.
	It's being stolen.
	Who cares?
	Think about that.
	It's insane.
	Well, guess what, guys?
	The Harris-Waltz campaign is actually going on the record supporting illegal immigrant gangs that they let into our country.
	Think about that.
	Don't believe me?
	Just listen to Tim Waltz in his own words.
	This is not edited.
	It's not a deep fake.
	Make sure you're sharing it.
	Waltz says that my father's vow to deport these criminal illegals is putting the ruthless gangs At risk.
	These people are freaking insane.
	They're nuts.
	Watch this.
	I would ask them honest questions, and they ask them, why are you and JD Vance making up stories about people who are in this country legally, putting them at risk, spreading disgusting, untrue stories about folks in Springfield, Ohio, Aurora, Colorado?
	That's what he's been doing.
	It tells you just about everything you need to know about this.
	These lies that they're saying, Republican officials are telling them to stop it.
	And then they tell lies about the Republican officials who tell them to quit telling lies.
	Because that's who they are.
	But look, let's be honest.
	There are outsiders coming into communities.
	Stealing and moving jobs away and making life harder for people living there.
	And they have names.
	Donald Trump and J.D. Vance.
	That's who they are.
	That is who's going there.
	Remember when Nancy Pelosi defended MS-13 during my father's first term?
	Remember he called them animals and she was like, no, they're not animals.
	They're humans.
	They're wonderful people.
	Now Walsh is doing the same thing with Venezuelan gangs, taking over apartment complexes.
	Think about that.
	They're dumping their prisons into America.
	I heard from someone the other day whose family's in Venezuela.
	They're basically making them sign something.
	We'll let you out, but you can never come back.
	They're sending their biggest criminals, the biggest scum in the world, to America to live in your towns, to live in your neighborhoods.
	And Tim Walz is more worried about not offending the gang than actually keeping Americans safe in their country?
	It's why you have to vote like your life depends on it.
	It's why you have to vote like you're like the third monkey in line on the ark and it's starting to rain.
	And then bring your friends.
	Because the future of Western civilization hangs on the results of November 5th.
	If you can vote early right now in your state, go and vote.
	Bank it.
	Who knows what happens?
	Who knows what natural disaster happens?
	Who knows what created disaster happens?
	Get in there and bank on your vote.
	We have to secure our border and protect our nation.
	And speaking of those who've protected our nation, have you been paying attention to what's been going on inside our own Veterans Affairs hospitals?
	Do you want to know where your taxpayer dollars are going?
	You can't make it up.
	I say that every day.
	It's like every day.
	It's just worse.
	Here's a video.
	from the Department of Veteran Affairs under Kamala Harris that was released just this August.
	Kamala Harris is spending money on weird cartoons about interrogating veterans on their pronouns and their gender identity.
	Instead of making sure our heroic veterans actually get the care they need, this is where their priorities are.
	On their pronouns, on their gender identities, to the people suffering from PTSD or lost limbs, I have a feeling that's the last thing they could care less about.
	But this is what it is.
	You've gotta see it to believe it.
	Yes, I'm Joe, and I'm glad you found me.
	I like to let people I meet know that I use they, them pronouns.
	Good to meet you.
	I'm Dr.
	Eckstein, the new chief of staff.
	Oh, and I use he and him.
	I wanted to introduce myself, and I was hoping you could give me a summary of care for veterans based on sexual orientation.
	You came to the right place.
	As the LGBTQ plus veteran care coordinator, one of the things I do is help educate staff.
	I heard from providers during the staff meeting that we are asking veterans about their sexual orientation, and I'd like to learn more about VA policy and best practices.
	In VA, we use the acronym LGBTQ +, to refer to lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, and additional identities.
	Everyone has a sexual orientation.
	Sure, because people use a variety of terms to describe their sexual orientation.
	Gay is a sexual orientation like lesbian, bisexual, heterosexual, or straight.
	And you might hear other terms like queer, asexual, two-spirit, or pansexual.
	The plus in LGBTQ plus covers these and additional identities.
	Got it.
	And of course there's gender identity like transgender, gender diverse, or non-binary, which is different from sexual orientation.
	That's right.
	Transgender and gender diverse people also have a sexual orientation just like everyone else.
	We want to ask all veterans and not assume.
	I mean, honestly, I feel like I'm watching an episode of South Park.
	They could not have made a greater mockery of it.
	I mean, this is their priority.
	Think of how insane that whole thing is.
	It's totally unnecessary, but this is your taxpayer dollars at work.
	This is what Kamala Harris's future administration would prioritize rather than, I don't know, being ready for war, actually training our troops, taking care of our veterans.
	And it doesn't stop there.
	We've also uncovered a video of a VA patient care coordinator talking about how gender-affirming prosthetics.
	Gender-affirming prosthetics, folks.
	You heard that right.
	Are a top priority for trans VA patient care.
	What?
	Like, seriously?
	Like, you know, you lost your limb, but the other guy there is trans, so, you know, we're gonna give him a prosthetic, uh, anatomy.
	Eh.
	I'm speechless.
	I literally, I swear, I think I'm watching an episode of South Park, but it's really happening.
	We don't live in a serious country.
	Watch this one.
	I'm the LGBTQ Veteran Care Coordinator here at the Columbus, Ohio VA. My pronouns are she, her, hers.
	And I've been here a little over two years.
	My name is Dr.
	Iram Rivera Mercado.
	I use he, him.
	And she, her pronouns.
	I identify as a bi-gender person working here.
	A lot of the services that we provide are gender-affirming care services.
	So gender-affirming hormone therapy, vocal therapy for masculinization and feminization of voice.
	We provide gender-affirming prosthetics through our prosthetics department.
	So wigs, binders, And a bunch of other different devices to help folks feel more comfortable presenting as their authentic self.
	Hey guys, we can put an end to this, but we can't do it without you.
	My father can't do it by himself.
	He can't elect himself.
	You guys have to do that.
	You have to bring everyone To the polls.
	You have to go vote yourself.
	You have to call everyone you know, especially in the swing states.
	Text them.
	Drive them absolutely nuts.
	And we can stop this crap.
	And we can actually do what's necessary to help our incredible veterans.
	Not just push a woke agenda and prioritize that level of absolute insanity.
	Now, This opens up a whole host of other questions.
	Is it time for an investigation?
	I think...
	Without question.
	There's a bigger story here, and we're going to keep digging because our veterans deserve so much better than to have woke medicine impact their care.
	And speaking of there being a much bigger story, today the White House Task Force released their preliminary report on the July 13th assassination attempt of my father in Butler, Pennsylvania.
	The task force found that would-be assassin crooks Had been under scrutiny by the Secret Service's state and local partners for roughly 40 minutes before, quote, information about a suspicious person, end of quote, reached the Secret Service command post.
	Does that seem normal to you?
	I've had a Secret Service detail.
	I understand how they work.
	That ain't normal.
	That doesn't happen.
	It said that three local law enforcement officers noticed trucks around 5 p.m.
	Eastern, each independently deducing his behavior and manner were suspicious.
	But then a back and forth ensued among local and state units with communications made difficult by a lack of a central command system with Secret Service.
	Also something that does not ever happen.
	Unless, of course, it was intentional.
	So it raises the obvious question.
	How could there be such a breakdown in basic communication?
	I mean, this is the presumptive nominee of the Republican Party.
	This is someone more out there than anyone.
	This is someone with credible threats from our enemies around the world.
	What parts of the story haven't we even been told yet?
	I imagine there's a lot more.
	We'll get into all of this and much more with Jack Posobiec and his new book, Bulletproof.

	Joining me now, guys, a good friend of the show, the author of Bulletproof, How a Shot Meant for Donald Trump Took Out Joe Biden, Jack Posobiec.
	Jack, good to have you here.
	You're like me right now.
	You're running all over the country.
	You're everywhere.
	It was...
	It's absolutely been nuts.
	But you were with Elon yesterday in Pennsylvania.
	I mean, he's really stepped up.
	He's gotten into the fray.
	I guess he's concerned like me.
	If we don't win, he'll be in the cell next to me in the gulags, and I'll learn everything there is to know about putting people into space and electric batteries.
	But tell me about it.
	What do you see out there?
	I know it's great.
	By the way, when it comes to the gulags, I've already figured out my gulag job.
	So I'm planning ahead.
	What's your gulag?
	What's Jack Posobiec's gulag job?
	How do you, you know, naval intelligence to...
	I've got this figured out.
	I'm going to be the Mandarin teacher for all the other guys so that we prisoners can communicate with the guards.
	Because I'm pretty sure that's going to be China.
	It's just going to backfill all that.
	You mean Admiral Rachel Levine isn't going to keep us safe from the Chinese invasion?
	Oh, no, they're just going to sell us out.
	They're just going to – so China will just come in and buy us out, and they'll be the guards, or we'll probably just get shipped over there.
	You guys, I don't know.
	And, you know, it's like we've got to figure it out.
	You know, other people, like, you know, some guys are like, I'm going to be the cook.
	You know, I'm going to have all the food, you know, underground cigarette rolling and all that.
	That'll be like the currency, you know.
	But, no, it's going to be so bad.
	And Elon – It was really interesting because here we have, and my brother did, like, all of the town halls with him.
	By the way, he's giving out a million dollars just randomly to people in the audience.
	So that's first and foremost.
	And he's so nonchalant about it, too, because, you know, he's...
	Well, that's like you and I giving out, like, two bucks.
	You know what I mean?
	So it's like...
	Yeah, to him, it's like, he's like, oh, it's almost like...
	They do call the name, but he's literally sitting there like, um, you know, the lady in red.
	Yes, you bought a million dollars.
	Come on down.
	That's amazing.
	When you see these just regular Pennsylvania folks who are like, wait, I signed up for this event on my app, and now I'm a millionaire?
	Like that?
	But what Elon was saying was, Was the whole thing about it is he thinks Pennsylvania is that important and everyone has talked about how PA is the tipping point state.
	This is the one.
	It's over the 530.
	Like the 538 model is kind of like 50-50 or I think it's 5149 right now.
	He just came out this morning.
	But he's like, but if you get Pennsylvania, okay, then it's like 93% Trump wins.
	You're a Pennsylvania guy.
	As a Pennsylvania guy, and frankly, I'm more of a Pennsylvania guy than Joe Biden.
	I went to school there for nine years.
	I know it pretty well.
	I have a farm in the Northeast Pennsylvania.
	I get the state.
	What do you see there on the ground right now?
	Does it line up with what I'm seeing in North Carolina where Republican districts are crawling through broken glass to vote early and get going and all of that stuff?
	So, yes and no.
	And for two reasons.
	I'll explain the first one first.
	So, first things first is it is like a civil war going on in Pennsylvania right now.
	Because you drive up and down the highways and it's every five miles there's a Kamala Harris sign.
	There's so much money that's being thrown in.
	And I've done elections in Pennsylvania for 20 years.
	I've never seen anything like this.
	Every five miles, Kamala Harris.
	Kamala Harris, just that smiling, fake smile is just hitting you in the face.
	So they're dumping, I think all in with outside groups, both sides, it's going to be like $500 million just in Pennsylvania.
	But that doesn't include the Elon money.
	So now I have to recalculate.
	It's probably going to be like six or seven.
	When you put it all in.
	So I've never seen anything like it.
	But here's what's interesting, though.
	Kamala Harris will have the signs up.
	But that's like the paid billboard, you know, that type of thing.
	But next to every one of them, there'll be like five grassroots Trump yard signs that someone put up.
	Or like a handmade one that somebody, you know, built out of two by fours and some wood paneling.
	Or there's a barn and the guy's just painting Trump.
	You know, Trump fans all over the thing.
	So it really is this sort of like money fight versus grassroots fight that's going on.
	And the early voting piece, this is something where Pennsylvania has a huge learning curve.
	So you mentioned North Carolina.
	I've noticed this with the Sunbelt, a lot of the Sunbelt swing states.
	So there's four Sunbelt swing states and then three in the Rust Belt for those swing states.
	In Pennsylvania, we don't have any history of early voting.
	It's just not been a thing there.
	It's never been a thing.
	In the Sun Belt, they're kind of more used to it.
	Florida, North Carolina, Texas, Arizona, Georgia.
	It's been a thing for years.
	MPA never has been.
	Now, for the Democrats, they're used to following orders.
	They're the hive mind hurt mentality.
	CNN says, put on the mask.
	I put on the mask.
	CNN says, I need 15 boosters.
	I'm getting my 15 boosters, because that's what I do, what I'm told.
	But for Republicans, I've noticed a reluctance to early vote because number one, there's no history of it.
	Number two, people don't even realize that you can do early in-person voting in Pennsylvania now.
	I already did this.
	So what you do is it's not like It's like a de facto in-person early voting because what you do is you go into the county board of elections and you say, I'd like to request a ballot.
	You request the ballot, but they don't mail it because you're there.
	They just hand it to you.
	So they hand it to you, you fill it out, put it in the envelope, you hand it right back.
	So that's available in almost every single one of the state or the counties in Pennsylvania right now.
	And I've just, when I talk to Republicans, they don't even know that you can do that.
	Yeah.
	So, like, guys, pass this part on to all of your friends and PA and stuff like that.
	Make sure they do that.
	You know, who knows what...
	It doesn't look great for the Democrats based on everything else I'm seeing elsewhere, enthusiasm gap.
	But to your point, Jack, about the signs for Kamala Harris that were probably never there before, like...
	Even with Elon, they're going to outspend us four or five to one in Pennsylvania.
	That's just how it works.
	That's the Soros money times, you know, 30 other guys just like him.
	So do that if you want to vote in person.
	But like, I'm worried they're so desperate.
	Whatever shenanigans happen on Election Day, you know, get that vote in there.
	You know, you don't want to wait for four hours.
	You don't know what's going to happen.
	Get in.
	If you're if you're adamant about voting in person, do that.
	But vote in person early.
	Get it in there.
	You know, Man, who knows what these people will do.
	They already arrested someone in Oklahoma trying to plot a terrorist attack at one of the polling stations.
	Like, if it happens that they say, oh, well, no one else is showing up to vote because Republicans vote on Election Day.
	Well, that's the election, guys.
	I'll see you later.
	We can't take anything for granted or we can't take anything for chance.
	And to be fair to my fellow Pennsylvanians, because this education has gone on now and because of the work of the great people like Scott Pressler, who's come into the state now and has been barnstorming, Cliff Maloney with the PHAs, Turning Point Action, getting in there, and just what I've been doing now, Elon's on top.
	It is double What it was in 2020 for the Republicans.
	So people keep asking me, why is the split so low for Republicans in PA compared to the other swing states, the other six of the seven?
	And I say, well, because we just never did it before.
	We never early voted.
	It's not been a thing.
	But it's way running ahead of where it used to be.
	And the Democrats, dirty little secret, they don't want to tell anybody, it's way down.
	So the Democrats think that they can build a firewall of about 400,000 votes prior to Election Day.
	And then so if they build that 400,000 vote firewall, that whatever the red tsunami that comes in on Election Day in-person voting will not be enough to overcome it.
	What I'm saying is, If we can whittle away that firewall so that it's as thin as possible on Election Day, then when all the Republicans do show up to vote, because I think it's just what's going to happen, despite the way I tell everybody, that we'll be able to smash through it.
	So every time you get someone to vote early, you're making that firewall thinner and thinner and thinner.
	Yeah, I saw that in Arizona.
	I did, you know, seven events the other day with Charlie Kirk out there.
	And we were there and we did, you know, towards the end of the evening, we had before the ASU frat party event where we had like a thousand coeds showing up with ballots.
	It was sort of amazing.
	Like, you know, I agree, dude.
	That's so cool.
	Charlie wouldn't even go.
	He's a little too conservative for that.
	I'm like, crap party?
	I'm your guy.
	I'm in.
	They're like, Don, will you take pictures with us?
	15 girls.
	I'm like, yes, I will.
	So I am happy to take one for the team.
	The Trump genes run strong as it relates to these things, so I'm not afraid, but...
	You know, we saw the early voting numbers and it was like through the roof and I'm like, crap, I hope we didn't just, you know, shoot it all out there with all our guys.
	And then we did this sort of event, you know, real high propensity voters, about a thousand people in a room.
	And we asked like, hey, raise your hand if you've early voted.
	And like, 5% of the room.
	So I'm like, wait a second.
	Like, we're turning out people that aren't even early voters for record days.
	And so, like, our highest propensity voters still haven't gone.
	So that was a really good sign for us in Arizona.
	And the flip side of that is, what are the Democrats doing to build that firewall?
	Like, in Pennsylvania, and they're doing the other states as well.
	In order to do that, they're cannibalizing their high propensity voters.
	So they're cannibalizing the high propensity voters.
	All of these people that we're going to right now, everyone, PHA's Trump First 47, early vote action with Scott Pressler, they're all going to low propensity only.
	And I'm working with all the various groups.
	So these low prop voters, these are people who probably wouldn't have voted anyway.
	Which means, just like you say, there's still that 95% of high-prop voters that's sitting there to come in like the sledgehammer on Election Day.
	Now, am I saying it's absolutely going to happen?
	I don't know, quite frankly, because we've never tried, we've never run this play before.
	This is like brand new, make it up as we go along.
	But I'm seeing the machine in action, and it's humming along, but people need to start to, what, two weeks left, people need to keep firing on this.
	And so I think early voting in Pennsylvania runs until about, I think it's the Saturday before, don't quote me on that, but I think it's the first.
	And so just everyone you can, just 10x your vote, and after you voted, just Bank it and then start driving people over there.
	Drag them kicking and screaming to vote.
	You know, it's a big deal.
	Now, obviously, you, like me, are more familiar with the east side of Pennsylvania.
	The west side's like an entirely different state almost, but it was pretty awesome watching DJT at the Steelers game yesterday.
	I was there.
	I was there.
	That was, you know, I mean, that's a very blue area, very Democrat, sort of former blue-collar Democrat area, and yet the welcoming at the Steelers game If that's indicative, can you take one of those blue areas at least significantly off the field to let the middle of the state do its thing and get us over the top?
	Well it's it's huge and so the city of Pittsburgh proper which is the heart of Allegheny County it's I mean that's as blue as can be but then you got people like Antonio Brown you got the other Steelers coming in and obviously going to the game itself a game by the way where even though you know I know Aaron Rodgers is kind of our guy he took a pounding in that game when DJT came out for the Steelers and it was cool watching Rodgers play I gotta say that even as a non-Consylvanian I mean that dude like he fires laser bolts from his hands Just insane level of skill,
	but wasn't enough to match the Steelers because they got the DJT endorsement.
	They came from behind.
	They were losing 15-6.
	They won 30-15.
	And it's only because Trump was there.
	It's only because Trump was there.
	So getting those people on board with that, look, the Steelers in Western Pennsylvania, it's like the Eagles in Eastern Pennsylvania.
	It's a religion.
	I mean, it is a religion.
	And that's...
	Pittsburgh itself, right?
	It is Steel City.
	They're called the Steelers because of U.S. Steel.
	The whole movement, the whole argument is about turning that machine back on and instead of turning into this like, you know, what was Obama trying to do?
	We're going to make it a tech hub and he held like one of the World Bank meetings there and he brought everybody in and we're going to change the nature of Pittsburgh.
	I don't think those people want to change, right?
	I've gone out there and I've met them.
	They don't want to change.
	They want to keep doing the exact same way they were.
	They just want jobs.
	They literally just want someone to put them in the back.
	Yeah, he's not rocket science.
	How about, like, our only export for the last 50 years has been your American dream?
	You know, that's what we've exported.
	We've exported the American dream to the rest of the world.
	They're living it while we're getting crushed.
	Like, this shouldn't be rocket science, but, you know, people are starting to wake up.
	I just hope they wake up in time for November 5th to be able to do all of this and to be able to get it over the top so we have a chance to actually, you know, have our kids live that dream, too.
	And I'll just say this, you know, walking around, you know, myself, and I was there with, you know, my brother, and ALX, and all those guys, and we were all wearing our MAGA hats, and people were coming up, slapping high fives, people were asking for selfies, you know, and it wasn't like, in 2016, you wear a MAGA hat in one of those blue areas, and it's like, you're squaring up, you know, you're like getting You're getting ready to go, which, of course, led to a number of viral encounters on my part, which I used to great effect.
	But it's not like that anymore.
	It's like the vibe has totally shifted.
	And I think MAGA, in a way, has totally taken...
	People can finally understand that MAGA just means make America great again.
	Yeah, there's no subtext.
	It's fairly obvious.
	It's not racist.
	It's not this.
	I noticed that, too.
	It's sort of weird.
	I was joking with Charlie when I was out in Arizona.
	You know, go to a couple of areas where, you know, you think it's going to be more hostile or you go to a college campus or you go to this.
	In 16, I was actually so much more on my game because when you have that sort of aggressive, anti-person doing it, you get quick and snappy.
	I don't see any of that.
	I'm actually out of practice in my quick wit comebacks because...
	Honestly, people are just incredibly supportive right now.
	They're psyched about it.
	It's a very different vibe.
	I feel like I'm off my game in the sense that I haven't had to be on the defensive all the time for the first time in nine years.
	I had a journalist ask me recently, and I don't even remember where it was from, but they said, You know, they said, well, Donald, it was right after the assassination attempt, the first one.
	And, you know, and they said, well, he's talking, remember, unity was the big word.
	Unity, we're going to be unity now.
	And they said, well, how can he stand for unity when he's, you know, it's so divisive?
	And I say, excuse me, when the merry minute he came down from that escalator, he said, make America great again, period.
	He never said for one group of people or one race or one religion or like, oh, you guys added all that stuff.
	You, and Joy Reid, and Joe Tapper, and all that, and Rachel Maddow, and Chris Hayes, Ari Melber, you guys added all that stuff.
	You.
	You said, make America great again for Americans.
	And the division that Donald Trump had was only one division.
	Citizen versus non-citizen.
	And it's been very clear literally from moment one.
	It's just you guys lied to half the country and now they're finally, and I have to say because of the efforts of like of Elon buying X and then coming on board and so many RFK just unlikely supporters now joining the movement that people are starting kind of like wake up from the brainwashing.
	Yeah, no, I had that.
	I think the clip went pretty viral.
	It was, you know, at the RNC and some guy, well, you'd agree that your father was really divisive.
	I'm like, no, no, no.
	You guys made him divisive.
	You guys lied about him.
	You called us traitors.
	I mean, you want to try us for treason.
	You tried to throw him in jail.
	You lied about everything that he said.
	You added the make America great again, but only for X, Y, Z. You added, like, you guys were actually divisive.
	He's supposed to, you know, just take that?
	No, he defends himself.
	He's a fighter.
	That's what kept us out of wars.
	That's what allowed us to do the deals that we did.
	But, you know, I guess, speaking of the media, I mean, in my opening, I talked about, you know, Rush Limbaugh and how he used to always basically talk about, you know, the drive-by media.
	But yesterday, we literally had a drive-through press conference and drive-through politics.
	What was your reaction to my father at McDonald's?
	I guess that was in eastern Pennsylvania.
	Yeah, so that's, I mean, that's Trevos, Feasterville.
	That's about not even 20 minutes from where I grew up, where I think I've been to that McDonald's a couple of times.
	So that's like right on the border of like Box County and where the city line is in Northern Philadelphia.
	But it was beyond a Pennsylvania thing.
	It was beyond a Philly thing, obviously, because it was even in a way, and this is something I've been like, people keep saying that that photo of him waving outside the window with the apron on, Blue-collar billionaire and doing something for the working man.
	For a lot of kids out there, especially in working class backgrounds, working in retail and specifically in food services is like a rite of passage.
	That's your high school job.
	When you're in college and you need to work a shift or waiting tables or something, whatever.
	That's just something that everybody does.
	And so to see a guy like that, who's done everything and could be doing anything with his time, come in and work the fryer, it's just showing respect to the common man and the common woman out there.
	But then when he did that wave outside the window and people looked at that photo, they said it just hit people.
	And you know what it is?
	And I saw someone doing this earlier.
	When you go back and look at those old Norman Rockwell paintings, there's always a guy in the back of them.
	It's the clerk or the manager or the grocer.
	And how is he dressed?
	He's in a white shirt with a collar, with a tie and an apron.
	And so it was a way to sort of like...
	Step into that role, but show that that America, which the left and the liberals, and professors, and they're like, that was never true.
	Norman Rockwell's America never existed.
	No, it's 100% true.
	It existed.
	We had it.
	And guess what?
	We caught a glimpse of that.
	Just a brief moment Where it was like all of the gaslighting and the brainwashing fell off.
	And it was like, we can be this America again.
	We really can.
	And I'll just say this to everybody out there, that wouldn't you like if you had a president of the United States that treated our country and our fellow citizens as well as that guy treated those French fries yesterday?
	Yeah.
	I like my president's hair like I like my fries.
	Golden.
	You know what I mean?
	But, you know, it's funny.
	I'm watching...
	Wait, did you see when he stuffed it?
	When he stuffed the one?
	The hands didn't touch it.
	Jack, the hands didn't touch it.
	It's perfectly clean.
	Nope, nope.
	Perfectly clean.
	And he was like, so I'm going to take that clip, by the way.
	So the next time I go to McDonald's and I order some fries and when they skimp me on the fries, I'm going to be like, excuse me, excuse me.
	This is what it's supposed to look like.
	This is the new model.
	It's going to cost McDonald's billions.
	But...
	Democrats, I'm watching Jack, they're melting down.
	It's the 2016, they don't understand this.
	A couple of people are like, it's a stunt.
	Everything in politics is a stunt.
	We're pretending that Kamala Harris reading her talking points off a teleprompter isn't designed to be a stump.
	She's just not able to do it genuinely.
	I'm even watching a couple of the liberals Who you and I probably don't get along with, you know, Sank and some of these other people like they're like, if you guys don't realize that that was genius, you're you haven't learned anything in nine years.
	But they're they're melting down just like they did after the first assassination attempt.
	They're trying to blame my father somehow for this.
	Are we seeing literally their their minds malfunction in real time?
	Because if they don't get that, that was to your point, like the Norman Rockwell, you know, hang that thing in the Louvre.
	That's an iconic photo.
	That photo to me is like the same as the mugshot, and it's the same as the coming back defiant shot.
	I mean, almost of equal significance.
	The three of those things is like the holy trinity of what this election is all about and what the consequences are.
	And I'll say this, though.
	The reason that they're losing their minds isn't that they don't get it.
	It's that deep down, they do.
	That deep down, they know exactly how powerful that is.
	And they know that they are the ones that took our country from being a successful country in the 80s, in the 90s, and turned it into what it is now.
	And turned it into this, remember the managed decline?
	We managed to decline.
	It's like, why?
	That's a choice.
	All of these things are choices.
	And what he showed was you can have greatness.
	You can have greatness in every facet of American life.
	You can have greatness from the highest level of the land, the presidency and the Oval Office, to the pinnacle of business and the richest man in the world, even down to the lowliest of positions, making a french fry at a random McDonald's.
	You can do it with greatness, because greatness is a way in which you carry yourself when you have respect for yourself.
	It's a choice.
	It is a choice, 100%.
	Well, I mean, talk about, I mean, it does feel like, you know, in the choices that we have these days and the choices that we make, most people don't even think about it.
	To your point, it's like we're just going to choose to take the L early.
	You know, we see that when we're, you know, negotiating trade deals.
	You know, we go in with the bare minimum rather than using our economic might to maybe leverage something better.
	We're like, well, that's not realistic, so we won't even attempt it.
	You know, talk about the difference of that, because it does feel like We've become so complacent in everything that we do as America that we're choosing at best mediocrity as opposed to excellence.
	And that's a cultural phenomenon and a serious problem.
	Yeah.
	In psychological terms, you would call it, psychologists have a term called learned helplessness.
	So if I need someone to help me, then I'm going to be dependent.
	It's almost like a childlike state.
	In dating, you would call it settling.
	No one would ever do that, but yes.
	It's like, you know, it's like, hey man, well, you know, or for other guys, you call it a last call at the bar.
	Yeah.
	Who's around at 4 in the morning or 2 in the morning in PA? And so it's this idea of, I don't have to have any standards anymore.
	Because we talk about wokeness and DEI and all that stuff, but what is it really?
	What is it really?
	It is the elimination of standards.
	And so, in the elimination of standards, I saw this when I was in the military, that when the standards go away and they said, well, we need less standards because we need more of this demographic group or we need more of this demographic group or this gender or whatever it is, you're lowering standards and you're changing.
	First, it starts with the physical standards, then it starts with the grooming standards.
	By the way, I could go on for an hour about the grooming standards in the military right now.
	You see people walking around and they've got like long hair and beards and it's all flopping all over the place.
	You're like, what are you doing?
	Military is supposed to look like.
	You're not doing that because you're supposed to look a certain way.
	You're doing it because of the maintenance of standards.
	And the same thing with BMI. I'm sorry, Ari.
	When I see Mark Milley up there, and this guy's supposed to be the head of the military, I went completely insane one day.
	And I spent like six hours trying to find one picture of that guy in a gym or like on a job.
	There's not a single physical challenge in the United States military that you or I wouldn't absolutely destroy him in.
	And you're former and I never was.
	And it still doesn't matter because we actually Take those things seriously without being forced to.
	That's a choice that we make.
	He doesn't have to be fat.
	He could actually go work out.
	I'm sure that he has great access to some of the finest things, but it doesn't matter.
	He's more concerned about DEI or the eventual board seat at Disney World.
	Your former military intelligence, when I see a relaxation of standards in any capacity, whether it's intellectual, whether it's the grooming standards, whether it's the physical standards, To be able to create some sort of fake machination.
	You see this in the Air Force, where like, well, we need 50%, you know, XYZ pilots.
	I'm like, but they don't make up 50% of the population.
	You're trying to make up for back time.
	I mean, it doesn't feel like China would do that.
	And if you end up in an eventual war, or if you would end up in a serious conflict with some of these enemies, and they're putting forth their best, and we're putting forth You know, not so much.
	It's a serious problem and is clearly reflected in the recruiting numbers because who's going to go fight a war where your life is on the line when you know you're already starting at a disadvantage?
	Or I'll even throw another one.
	It's, you know, you go beyond military.
	It's like, I don't want the pilots.
	I don't want someone who fits a certain quality.
	I want someone, you know what the quality I want in my pilot?
	They're great pilots.
	You know, and if like, if they're like, well, you know, if you're like, or I was listening to a podcast earlier, I'm going to an event with Ben Carson later today.
	And it's like, it's like, you go to me like, do you want a white neurosurgeon or a black neurosurgeon?
	I'm like, I want the best neurosurgeon.
	And it just so happens that Ben Collins, he's there not because of his race.
	He's there because he's the best neurosurgeon in the country.
	That's why he's there.
	And if I want someone, you know, in my head open, I want the best of the best.
	Or my kids or my family, God forbid, right?
	I want the best of the best.
	It has nothing to do with that.
	It has nothing to do with that at all.
	And we used to be a country that put all of that first.
	You put your standards first.
	And so When I think about greatness, that's what America just used to be.
	We used to always put greatness first.
	And it didn't matter if you're working a fried cook, or if you're running the military, or if you're fighting World War II, God forbid, fighting World War III, right?
	You just put excellence first.
	And you can do that in every capacity.
	And so this is top-down.
	And I think it's a lesson that I'm going to show my kids.
	It's a lesson that I hope everybody starts to remember, that these are all choices.
	Have you been to an airport lately, anybody?
	Like, that is not exactly a sample of greatness.
	You know, you go in and you're like, paddle, and you're just being prodded a lot.
	And they're filthy.
	They're so filthy these days.
	And everyone's nasty.
	They don't want to be there.
	And so, it's like, we have just traded away all of the great things that we had as a country And I do believe that all of this, it's a cascade.
	So it's a cascade down from the top down.
	And that's why you're like, how come nothing works anymore?
	How come everything's falling apart?
	How come our bridges are getting crashed in Baltimore and falling to the bottom of the Chesapeake Bay?
	And unfortunately, it's not that there was a cyber attack.
	It's just that people don't care about stuff anymore.
	I mean, talk about how all of this connects to the themes in your book, Bulletproof.
	I mean, I had the privilege and honor of writing the foreword to the book, so...
	Thank you.
	I know, and I know the book...
	Yeah, you guys gotta go check that out.
	You know, so yeah, I got to write the foreword, got to read the book and check it out.
	But I know the book questions sort of the official narrative about the first assassination attempt, but it also connects the dots between...
	The resiliency of America first passion in Butler that we saw yesterday in Bucks County as well at the drive-thru window.
	Is there a symbolism to all of this?
	Well, I think there is.
	And thank you, by the way, for coming in and doing the forward to this.
	When they suggested we reach out to you, I said, well, guys, it's a little personal for him.
	I took that one more personally than most, but yeah.
	A little bit, you know.
	But I also, when I saw him come up defiant, you know, I've known my dad for a long time.
	I've been really impressed with the way he looks at it.
	I think I probably have an understanding of his worldview better than probably about anyone.
	And yet, the first thing I said to him after seeing that was like, you know what, that was the most badass thing I've ever seen.
	And I meant it because, you know, I know he's tough.
	I know, you know, other people know he's tough.
	Whether it's Putin or Xi, there's a reason he kept them in place before they witnessed that.
	But because of the narrative of America, because of the media, You know, if there was anyone else left questioning, I think that settled the score, right?
	These days, everyone's a tough guy on the internet, right?
	Everyone's a badass.
	And yet there's a reason you and I, like, I don't know that I've had anyone confront me in, you know, years, you know, out in the public as, you know, everyone's a tough guy until they're actually face to face with someone who may actually be tougher than them or they're not sure.
	That was sort of the, that dispelled any notions that he wasn't in fact that guy.
	And I think it's, for me, when have you ever seen or heard of in a military context, law enforcement, or even in a movie where the bullets are still flying and you don't know if there's other snipers or what else is going on because you already had one and who knows if there's two or three or four and you see a guy, rather than scurry off to run to the van, he doesn't do that.
	It's inexplicable because as the bullets are flying, as there's no idea if the danger has ended, he doesn't just stand his ground.
	He stands all the way up, puts his fist in the air, and is like, you want me?
	Come get me.
	I'm right here.
	I've never seen anything like it in my life.
	I don't think anyone else has.
	As a symbol of resilience, yes.
	And it is a story about that, of just overcoming everything, going all in, putting your all, showing that.
	And by the way, If he wasn't serious, he would have done that.
	If he wasn't serious, he would have ducked down low.
	Yeah.
	You run for cover and you hide.
	Snuck over to the SUV. Fine.
	By the way, I don't think people would have blamed him, obviously, for that.
	Sure, you want to be safe.
	As I say, this is a guy who had...
	I wasn't a Navy SEAL or anything, but I had a little bit of weapons training.
	It's like, yeah, when the bullets are flying, you get down.
	That's pretty universal.
	By the way, I have friends...
	In those walks of life.
	I have friends that are Navy SEALs.
	I have friends that are Delta Force.
	I have friends that are British SAS. And all of those guys to a T were like, dude, that was badass.
	When those guys are impressed, under fire, that says something.
	Everyone can be like, that was relatively tough.
	When those guys who are legitimately the biggest badasses in the world are like, yeah, that was...
	That was impressive.
	They're like, yeah, you're not supposed to do that.
	It's not exactly what we're trained to do when the cyphers pop out.
	So one thing, and I'll show it just for the cover.
	I didn't use that picture in the cover, actually.
	I used this picture.
	And I think there's a profound reason.
	And this is the moment just before that moment.
	And you've seen, we've all seen, you know, Donald Trump raise his fist and lead the crowds, and people cure them on.
	And we've seen all those things before.
	And I say this as someone who reads, look, I think there's a lot of themes to what happened there, and I think there's a lot of subtext.
	And to me, I think there's a touch of providence and a touch of divine intervention.
	I really do.
	And that's something that he said as well right after.
	And there's a moment or an image of Donald J. Trump that I don't think anyone has ever really seen before.
	On his knees, and it looks in this picture, it looks like he's praying in public.
	I mean, you've just never seen it.
	And, you know, I mean, you know, your dad's a lot of things, but, you know, I don't know that humble would be, you know, on the top of the list.
	There's many things, I don't know if that's one of them, but, you know, a little bit of humble every once in a while.
	But it is, there's this biblical idea that when God He wants to create a great leader, whether that's David or Solomon.
	You see these stories throughout the Bible, Saul becoming the Apostle Paul, that he humbles them.
	So he teaches them the lesson of humility in the first instance.
	And if they accept that lesson and then they accept the task which is set before them, that is when they receive the greatest strength to go on and do the impossible.
	I kind of feel like, in a way, in a way, and, you know, call me nuts, whatever, you know, I don't care what they call me, right?
	But I believe that it was this moment that allowed the next moment to take place.
	And, you know, when we talk about that, and it's like, look, going into the security posture of it, you know, it's inexplicable.
	Twelve independent security failures we identify in this thing.
	And we go through chapter and verse, not only, the one that sticks out for me, Not only, of course, that the building wasn't covered, but the fact that there was an officer who dropped overwatch coverage of that roof just seven minutes before the shooter took those shots.
	I'm sure that's a coincidence.
	Total coincidence.
	And I say, you know, how is this all possible?
	Because it was allowed, right?
	On some level, it was allowed.
	And whether you say that's the relaxation of standards, or we use a phrase, intentional negligence, intentional negligence.
	Speaking of intentional negligence, I mean, I saw that there's a new report by the, I guess it's the House Task Force I was just going to mention that.
	You know, the head of their counter-sniper program on his own time used to come up, stay at my farm in PA, at my cabin to train because my range was better than what they had at Quantico.
	I mean, what has your book uncovered?
	What are still the biggest questions out there?
	And is there any chance of getting real answers?
	Because again, you know, my father doesn't go shoot, you know, he's not a shooter really.
	And so he's like, Well, 130 yards feels far.
	I'm like, no, no, no.
	That'd be like you missing a four-inch putt.
	You know what I mean?
	If we put it in golf terms.
	That's a chip shot, especially with 20 minutes of sort of...
	It's not like you're going to try to pull it off offhand and you're running and shooting at the same time.
	I mean, the guy had 10 minutes on a rooftop to get set up and ready and squared away.
	I mean, it's almost impossible to miss that shot if there wasn't a little bit of help...
	From above.
	And there's no way that given the rigorous standards normally enforced by the Secret Service that all of these failures, you know, if you have one failure, it's one thing, but this is You know, an aggregation of dozens of failures, to your point, sort of, you know, intentional negligence.
	We actually turned all that into a, and by the way, yeah, let me see, that's a boot camp shot, right?
	That's a boot camp shot.
	That is not a hard shot.
	That's like, and by the way, you can go on YouTube and find guys who can make that shot with a pistol.
	I've made that shot with a pistol many times.
	I've made that shot with a bow.
	There you go.
	Yeah, so if you have a pretty good level of training, if you do it enough, perishable skill, all that, you can make that shot with a rifle, with a red dot, EOTech, easiest shot in the world.
	Guys do it, like you said, pistol, bow, it's not that hard of a shot.
	So we took all those 12 independent failures, and everybody knows them, the drone, everything else.
	And then we said, what are the chances of all of that happening on a day that there was a trained marksman who had been at the range the day before, by the way, who had been at the range the day before, would show up and attempt to do this.
	And I plugged, and I was like, I don't trust myself, so I'm going to go to AI, and I'm going to go to GPT for Omni.
	And this was like a little social experiment we kind of ran.
	Plugged it all in, that the odds literally are one in one septillion, which the same odds as flipping a coin 93 times in a row and it comes up heads every time.
	Okay, not possible.
	But then it spat out like a little assessment for us.
	Here's what it said.
	This isn't me, GPT-4 Omni.
	This probability suggests that the occurrence of all of these failures and the presence of the shooter is extraordinarily unlikely by chance alone, raising serious questions as to about whether these events were truly random.
	That's GP24OMNI. And so what did we find in the House report?
	The site lead for this event had only graduated FLETC, which is like the academy that Secret Service and others go to, only graduated FLETC four years ago.
	Four years on the job.
	And is assigned this massive, sprawling Trump rally with, I mean, let's just be honest, the hottest target on the planet.
	Someone who they know that there are Iranian threats and potential other threats about.
	And if you sign it to someone who's only got four years in uniform, Like, what?
	And then the guy who was running the Secret Service drone that day only had done an online training course.
	He ended up on tech support with customer service on hold, which who knows where those guys are.
	Hyderabad, maybe?
	I don't know, because everything's outsourced now.
	So look, I don't trust the feds, you know, and it is what it is for all the reasons we can go into.
	But it's not conspiratorial anymore.
	I mean, it's over and over again, right?
	The true domestic terror threat in their mind is a concerned, you know, mother at a PTA meeting questioning the indoctrination of their children with woke BS at schools.
	I mean, those are they said it.
	I mean, it's not like it's some one random leftist within those organizations.
	I mean, this is coming from the top.
	They've shown us what their priorities are, and it's not Iranian terrorists.
	It's not terrorists coming across the border.
	It's not the militant cells and terrorist cells that have gotten to our country over the border.
	It's people who bought Bibles or MAGA gear or anything else.
	I mean, they've made that very clear.
	This isn't like it was one time, one person.
	They've been talking about this for the last four years.
	So because we have that Lack of trust.
	We went and, as you know, we hired our own private investigator Team that's licensed in Pennsylvania, and they've been running their own independent report on all of this.
	And we've got them going through Butler, PA, and then down into Bethel Park where this guy lived.
	And the first report that they've compiled for us, which is the preliminary report, is in this book.
	We do device analysis.
	I've got, Don, I've got the actual sign-in sheets from the gun range that he was going to are in here.
	And we're not doxing everybody who was there, but we've got him.
	And, in fact, most of the times that he went to the gun range, he went with somebody else, that somebody else was there.
	We've also got more information on the IEDs and the question of, I was a kid who, 1500 SAT, very intelligent individual, How did you get the idea to make IEDs out of ammo cans?
	Not pipe bombs, not pressure cookers like the Wisconsin Bombers, but out of ammo cans.
	Well, more important, how do you have a radicalized 20-year-old, so radicalized they literally tried to assassinate I guess it wasn't the nominee at the time, but the presumptive nominee of the party until about five days later, but that has no online footprint whatsoever, has no social media footprint, has seemingly never been on a computer.
	How do you get that radicalized?
	I mean, I know our schools are indoctrination camps of our children these days.
	It's a propaganda division of today's left, but He got radicalized out of thin air and that?
	Like, no way.
	I mean, it's just, that's less plausible than the other odds that you were talking about.
	And as a donor to ActBlue.
	Yes.
	So an ActBlue donor, voters, by the way, one Trump supporter named Cori Campatore, and I was at the second rally and had the...
	In a sense, I would say honored of meeting his family and his daughters.
	And those people deserve answers.
	Those people deserve answers.
	More than any of us, I think, really.
	Because they went there with their dad and they didn't come home with him.
	And that is what it is, right?
	And he died saving them.
	And by the way, you look at a Trump rally and who's there in the crowd.
	It's like EMT, police officer, veteran, firefighter.
	You know, like, that's the type of people that you get when you go to a Trump rally in Western Pennsylvania who are just randomly there.
	And by the way, that was the VIP section, because after he missed the first shot, he started spraying and praying, and that's why he was hitting people in there.
	And, you know, I just want a sense of, you know, another sense, kind of going back to what we were talking about, those are the people who are considered VIPs at a Trump rally, like the regular working class.
	It's a little different than the Kamala Harris.
	A little different than having Lizzo, Whatever else out there.
	But when we dig into it, we do a device analysis, we find devices that he was contacting in, burner devices that he may have been in contact with.
	And so there's a lot of information out there that people don't know.
	The Western District of Pennsylvania, so the U.S. Attorney out there, Eric Olshan, has actually commissioned a grand jury into all of this.
	Now, the question, of course, why would you commission a grand jury if the perpetrator is already dead?
	It looks, and I can't say this definitively yet, it looks as though there are indications they may be building a case against his father.
	And the question then, of course, becomes if they're doing that, is it because they think that his father just knew about it or potentially That played some role in this radicalization.
	Again, I don't have the direct evidence on that, but I do have evidence, and it's in the book, that there is a grand jury open, and that, again, just something that, oh, you know, Politico's not talking about that, Washington Post's not talking about that, but like, Poso's got to find it out, so okay, I'm putting it out there.
	So we've got that, and then as all of this is going on, by the way, We put it all together.
	We finally get forward with you getting signed off on.
	And then they try to do it again.
	Another guy tries to do it.
	And this guy, Ryan Wesley Ruth, who we do actually have right here, And it's like, I'm sitting there going, all right, so let's look this guy up.
	I take the picture of Ryan Ruth, who's, you know, hanging out outside of Mar-a-Lago and hanging out outside of the West Palm Beach Golf Club, which is where I know your daughter is, like, frequency, you've said.
	And, you know, he's 12 hours sitting out there with an SKS with plates set up.
	And I started digging.
	And I said, I do with like a facial recognition search on him.
	I said, get his photo.
	And I was just looking for his social media to see if he had any, which he did, by the way.
	Well, he was interviewed by New York Times and all, you know, I mean, this guy wasn't like an unknown random actor.
	I mean, he'd been given some of the biggest platforms in the world to sell his drivel.
	So that seems a little odd too.
	Like this isn't just some random crazy person.
	This is someone who's crazy, but also had access.
	He's sitting there with Jose Andres and all of the radical leftists and all the Ukraine mob and all of the people in DC and some of the most powerful people in media.
	Like they're buddies.
	And the first video, though, that we found, and it popped up on the search results, it says, recruitment and support video for Bezov Battalion in Kiev, Ukraine.
	And I'm sitting there like, wait.
	It can't be right.
	And I'm watching the video, and I'm looking at it.
	I must have spent 10 minutes just going through.
	I'm like, this can't be the same guy.
	There's no way that he's involved with the Azov Battalion, which was this, like, neo-Nazi CIA training, has done assassinations in Russia, by the way, total proxy war kind of thing.
	I'm like, I'm like, I'm turning into Alex Jones over here.
	Something's not adding up, or perhaps something is exactly the way that it looks.
	And it's very, very dark with this guy.
	And then to the point, though, what's even crazier is I get this information a couple of days before we put it in the book.
	Then when we go to print, I didn't even know that on the Monday after all of that, the DOJ would release a letter Which was essentially a dead man's letter that he had written one month prior that handed to a neighbor and said, you know, put this out if something happens to me.
	And that guy had no idea what it was.
	So he calls up the FBI and said, hey, I got this letter from Ryan.
	I don't think you might want this.
	And the DOJ releases publicly that there is a that it says this would have failed assassination attempt, but someone else can complete the job.
	And if they do, there will be a $150,000 reward to do so.
	Ron, you've got more experience in the FBI than anyone I know who's not in the FBI. If you don't have a general habit or a general practice of just releasing documents unredacted, Or to essentially encourage, you know, future hostile actions.
	I mean, you know, for everything they've called us over the last few years, I mean, that's probably the most aggressive, you know, de facto endorsement of an assassination attempt I've ever seen in my life.
	I was speaking to a lawyer on Rumble the other day, and he was saying, what possible reason would there be?
	And he said, legally, I could understand why they would want to prove intent.
	Because a good defense lawyer would say, oh, hey, that's just a guy in the bushes, and he's just hanging out.
	Proove what he wanted to do.
	This is why I can't stand lawyers, by the way.
	And so with the letter, it proves intent.
	I said, okay, but then why wouldn't you just do it under a seal or redacted or something?
	And he said, Well, that's another kind of intent that we're seeing.
	That's also intent by releasing it to the public to let people know that there is a bounty out there, apparently, for Donald Trump.
	And this is one of the most disgusting things I've ever seen.
	I thought at first that the most disgusting thing that would happen during all of this, other than, you know, the assassination attempts, was Chris Wray lying about it when he was interviewed by the House and saying, oh, that was just some shrapnel from the, you know, from the teleprompter, which was it.
	Dude, there are photos of the bullet flying at the ear.
	You can see his head.
	You literally see the vapor trail.
	Like, give me a break.
	Like, you want to tell me that's not a miracle.
	Like, okay, you do you.
	But he turns his head a fraction of a, just a fraction of a second.
	And it would, I mean, it would have been like, you know what it would have been like, right?
	Had he not done that.
	We also, even in the book, we kind of go through just briefly, but we touch on What may have happened had it connected.
	I mean, you would have seen massive domestic unrest.
	You would have seen a complete breakdown in our election cycle.
	And people also forget, by the way, that at this point, this is prior to JD being picked.
	So without JD being picked, You don't have vice presidential candidate yet, either.
	So now there's going to be this massive fight that goes on.
	Liz Cheney, everyone!
	Congratulations, Republicans!
	Liz Cheney and Nikki Haley and all these other names.
	And we do, but to be fair, to be fair, we said Don Jr.'s name would probably come up.
	Just, you know, think naturally that's something that would occur.
	And, you know, but it would have been a breakdown.
	And I think that probably that the Republican Party more than likely would have torn itself apart.
	What more than likely have torn itself apart.
	All right, so everyone's got to check out the book, Bulletproof.
	See that.
	Obviously, that was a pretty solid closing pitch for the book.
	What do you think the closing pitch is, Jack, for the next two weeks in everything else in our lives, in the election and for the future of our country?
	Look, I would really kind of go back to what I was saying before, is that you have a choice.
	And I don't just mean a choice between two candidates, but you have a choice for your future, and you have a choice for your children's future.
	When we turn on the news and we hear about, oh, we're sending another 8 billion here and another 8 billion there, Troops are being deployed to this place.
	And hey, all you American young men.
	And by the way, you always know when they want to deploy soldiers to combat because then they make, that's when they change it all to men again.
	Yeah, exactly.
	We actually don't have to go to war with Iran.
	We don't have to go to war with China and Russia and North Korea.
	We can decide to choose another path.
	And more importantly, we don't have to choose to be poor either because after World War II, it's kind of like, And certainly starting with NAFTA, it's like the US basically chose global empire over jobs and over being a strong country.
	So we would expend our power overseas at the detriment of anyone living in the middle of the country.
	It's like, sorry, your lives suck, but if you're someone who lives in one of the power centers, boy, you're living large now.
	So if you roll that back, guess what?
	Everyone can be rich again.
	We can have, it doesn't have to be Donald Trump serving you at the McDonald's to achieve that level of greatness.
	That you could be able to have that if you're just a regular Joe Moe American going in to your local McDonald's or wherever you want to go And by the way, I would hope that with RFK on board, we bring back the beef tallow for those fries.
	The beef tallow fries were actually a lot better than, you know, I still love McDonald's fries, but the childhood McDonald's fries were definitely better than once they made the switch.
	They're so much better.
	And so, again, all of these things are choices.
	And we don't have to be the country of the managed decline of the globalists and the neoliberals and the Obamas and Kamala Harris.
	And look, you've got Elon Musk.
	And he talks about this.
	Do you want to go into the future and be a spacefaring country?
	And Donald Trump has said Men on Mars by the end of his term.
	How cool would that be?
	Do you want to live in a country that, I say this like Don, when you and I were kids, we had space ships.
	We had men going into space, and women going into space, and we were running missions, and then Obama came in and actually put those in warehouses.
	All the things that he did, I always said that was the one that really stuck with me the most, and I'll tell you why.
	Because it was like he took away the hope of America.
	He just took away that futuristic vision that we all had.
	And with the team that Trump has now, that's the team that I think will actually bring that back.
	I love that.
