Time Text
Thank you.
I hope you all had a very Merry Christmas.
Even those who say Happy Holidays.
So I thought tonight In the wake of Christmas, we take a look back at this historic and incredible year and also look ahead to January 20th and beyond when we finally have a chance to take our country back.
To fix the things that have been so broken for far too long.
Again, I hope you guys had an awesome Christmas.
I got to spend it with my family.
Sort of usual annual hunting trip with some of my boys.
Came back.

So we've been talking about making America healthy.
Again, it's been a big theme of the campaign, a big part of the last year.

So, guys, I thought I'd take a look back at 2024 as the end of the year approaches rapidly.
Also, the end of another circle around the sun for me.
My birthday is New Year's Eve, so I get to turn 47, so I'm getting old as dirt.
But there's an old saying that there are decades where nothing happens and weeks where a decade happens.
That pretty much sums up this last year.
Ultimately, it was a year of triumph.
It didn't come easy.
The nonsense, the indictments, the lawfare, multiple attempted assassinations, media corruption, big tech shenanigans.
And everything else that we all saw still could not stop MAGA. They could not stop you.
And that's the difference.
With 2024 versus 2016, you guys got involved.
You guys got engaged.
You saw in 2020, if one guy was out there by himself, they could channel all of their energy, all of their forces, and actually take out what is, at least on paper, the most powerful man in the world.
That's not happening anymore because you guys are in the game.
They threw everything they could at us and they failed miserably.
Not only was the left-wing agenda rejected at the ballot box, but it became more obvious than ever and more broadly than ever that liberals are losing.
The ideas are a disaster.
They're bad.
They're absolutely nuts.
Now, Previously, before, say, Elon took over X, and before we started calling out the news, they had trillions of dollars boosting them.
Big tech, mainstream media, some of that is still there, obviously, in the mainstream media.
But wokeness is out of fashion, guys.
Common sense came back into play, okay?
Remember, who cares if you can't afford your groceries?
Three-year-olds need to be able to get jigger-affirming care.
They've lost their minds and everyone now sees it.
Companies are no longer using a transgender wheelchair person for every single commercial.
NFL players are now able to say that they are Trump fans.
You can see that with the Trump dancers in the end zone.
It's a different world and it's a massive, massive cultural shift.
We're seeing companies like American Airlines and their DEI programs.
We're seeing MSDNC ratings at record lows.
And we're seeing the Democrat Party and the brand in complete and utter shambles.
Just think of the 180 that's happening.
Going into 2025, we're in control of our own destiny for the first time in far too long.
Just think back to even six months ago.
You remember when they told us that it was misinformation that Joe Biden is senile?
They said we were using cheap fakes and deep fakes.
If you don't remember, here's a long-winded reminder from Nicole Wallace.
There's a growing and insidious trend in right-wing media, broadcast, print and social media.
It is to take highly misleading and selectively edited videos of President Biden directly from Republican National Committee social media accounts and then use those videos.
To spread messages virally to cast doubt on President Biden's fitness for office.
Here is this headline from the New York Post, quote, Biden appears to freeze up, has to be led offstage by Obama at Megabucks LA fundraiser.
The full video posted by Biden finance chair on Twitter shows something entirely different.
Biden reacting to applause and then walking offstage with former President Obama.
It comes less than one week after the New York Post made a cover out of another piece of deceptively edited tape, calling him meanderer in chief due to what they claim was Biden walking away during a skydiving demonstration during the G7 summit last week.
The only problem is that the full video, which emerged almost instantly, shows Biden was going over to congratulate one of the skydivers who's cropped out of the video entirely.
Both the articles are based on cheap fakes, videos of real events that are intentionally manipulated to fool viewers released on an RNC opposition research social media account with zero independent fact checking by these so-called journalists and spread throughout the right-wing ecosystem.
That was just one of the many lies that they lied and said that the border is secure.
And not only is the border secure, but that illegal immigrant crime is a myth.
Even though every single week there was some new horror story of an illegal immigrant raping or killing an innocent American.
Those illegals are all getting deported, by the way, on day one.
Starts right away.
Check out this clip from a great friend of the show, Tom Holman.
I don't have a number.
We want to arrest as many people as we can.
They're in the country illegally.
Again, based on prioritization.
We want to arrest every criminal, every gang member that's here illegally, that's a public safety threat.
We want to arrest every fugitive, those who had due process at great taxpayer expense, and have an order of deportation but didn't leave and became a fugitive.
We got over 1.5 million of those.
And look, we've got millions of people who are illegally.
If you're here illegally, you're not off the table.
I mean, it's a violation of law.
It's a crime to enter this country illegally.
But you don't have a number that you'd like to see one year from tonight, you don't have a number that you'd like to say, this many people have been deported on my watch.
No, I don't have a number.
I want to arrest as many people as we can with the resources we have.
We want to be the most efficient we can based on prioritization.
There's no limit.
Guys, and now we're learning that the evil lunatic who set a woman on fire on the New York subway was an illegal immigrant.
I'm shocked!
I'm shocked!
Another one.
That wasn't the headline.
If you look at my Twitter feed, if you look at my X feed, Truth feed, like, women magically spontaneously combust on New York subway.
They don't talk about it.
But we're finding out it's an illegal immigrant who entered the country illegally under Joe Biden and Kamala Harris's watch.
We're not tolerating these sick, heinous acts of evil anymore.
Mass deportations are coming.
The media isn't going to get away with downplaying this kind of violence ever again.
And last week, guys, my father made this as clear as day, as clear as ever, when he brought up the mother of an illegal immigrant crime victim on stage.
And she brought the audience to absolute tears.
Check this out.
She's going to get them done in January.
Thank you.
Thank you.
The first time I met President Trump in person, he invited us to lunch, my attorney and I. And to be honest, I didn't do anything.
I just sat there.
I didn't really speak because I wanted to watch the man and listen to what he had to say and what his conversation was like.
Because I knew he wasn't a politician, but I knew that he had been president before.
And I wanted to see if he was a real, authentic man who actually cared for the American people.
And so I watched him.
I watched how he interacted.
I also watched how much his staff really respected him and how much his staff loved working for him.
But the thing that changed the way that I looked at him as a person was I realized that he was a dad, that he was a grandfather, and when you spoke to him you could see in his eyes that he genuinely cared about his fellow human being.
But the thing The thing I appreciate the most is that he heard the cries of a mother.
And he cared.
And he made a promise that he was going to protect us and that he was going to help us.
That's all you can ask from your president, but also just from a fellow human being.
And so I personally, I am so honored to know this man and to think of you as a friend. - This stuff has been happening far too often.
So many stories just swept under the rug, buried away.
This is a pandemic in and of itself, and it has to stop.
Remember guys, the media even tried to lie about a shooting that we all saw on video.
They quite literally told us not to believe our own lying eyes.
Joy Reid is still on Comcast, MSNBC, suggesting the shooting was fake.
Check it out.
It never ends, guys.
When will they fire her?
How does she keep getting paid?
I mean, I get that she's doing the bidding of the propaganda masters and the big media oligarchs, but like...
How does it continue?
How does anyone watch this knowing it?
I mean, she's not that entertaining.
Anyway, hopefully they fire her soon.
I heard they may be asking her for a pay cut to go commensurate with the ratings drop, but I don't think it's quite enough.
And finally, the big lie was that Joe Biden is a smart and a good person.
They always told us this, guys.
That Scranton Joe was just trying his best to improve the country.
Okay, but why didn't he, I don't know, then just take 37 brutal killers and rapists off of death row?
Why would you commute those sentences?
Why would you pardon people like that?
Biden didn't even talk to the victims of these criminals before he made this decision.
Thought he was a good guy.
Huh.
Tens of thousands of pardons and commutations.
Terrible people.
Not like stuff that's on the fence, just abject disaster.
One of the people he took off death row was Brandon Council.
Brandon killed two bank tellers in cold blood.
One of his victims was Donna Major.
Here is her family talking about Biden's pre-Christmas commutation.
Check this out.
I reached out requesting an in-person meeting in D.C. and we were refused.
They denied our right to have our voices heard.
We're victims.
My mother was murdered at the hands of Brandon Hansel.
They should have heard our story and all we got was a 10-minute virtual conference and clearly that fell on deaf ears.
They did not want to hear our story.
Danny, Joe Biden or whoever made this decision, because it is entirely unclear whether this came from him directly or his people.
He's showing mercy to your wife's killer.
Was your wife shown any mercy?
She was shown no mercy at all.
This man walked into the bank, never said two words to her, shot her three times in total, went and shot her co-worker Katie Skeen as well, who was totally defenseless and unaware that anything was happening.
What kind of sick person is Joe Biden to make families grieve like this over Christmas?
Here's some of the other people he took off death row.
Thomas Sanders, who kidnapped and shot a 12-year-old girl four times days after the girl watched Sanders murder her mother.
Huh?
Seems like a big one.
Seems like a big deal.
Wouldn't seem like someone you just release or commute their sentence.
He also commuted Jorge Alvia Torres, who raped and stabbed to death two young girls.
I could go on and on, folks.
These are not cases where, hey, maybe there's some malicious prosecution or the lawfare that the Democrats have been doing to us or what they've tried to frame the January 6th victims for.
And these are cold-blooded murderers and rapists.
They went back and killed other people that witnessed their crimes.
I mean, think about this.
These are some of the worst people alive.
And they were sentenced to death for a reason.
This is a disgrace.
And meanwhile, we're still seeing sick reactions from the left on the man charged with killing United Healthcare CEO Brian Thompson.
The left is cheering him on, literally.
Watch as the crowd applause just at the mention of his name on Saturday Night Live.
Luigi Mangione dropped...
Yeah!
Yeah, definitely woo.
You're wooing for justice, right?
Guys, this is a societal problem.
My father the other day called the liberal praise of a killer a sickness.
We actually spoke about it quite at length last night at Christmas dinner.
This is a cultural ailment.
We've lost our way in so many ways that shapes or form.
You don't have to love what's going on in healthcare.
You don't have to love the policies of insurance companies.
I know I don't.
We've all known someone or ourselves who have been hit by these things.
But to cheer cold-blooded murder in the streets of New York?
To make that murderer into a hero?
I don't know, guys.
Seems like a serious, serious lapse of reason, judgment, and probably not someone we want to turn into a deity.
But we have a tendency of doing that with people who are not so good, as we all probably remember from 2020. My father, when he calls it a sickness, he's right.
It's not just random SNL crowd members applauding either.
Even Elizabeth Warren is trying to justify it.
You know, Pocahontas, a senator from Massachusetts, even she is trying to justify it.
You know what?
If we don't like the person, it's okay.
I guess it's the same logic The same reason, if you could ever call it any of that, that they used when they were 100% okay with someone trying to kill my father, your favorite president.
What happens when you turn this into the billionaires run it all is they get the opportunity to squeeze every last penny.
And look, we'll say it over and over.
Violence is never the answer.
This guy gets a trial who's allegedly killed the CEO of UnitedHealth.
But you can only push people so far.
And then they start to take matters into their own hands.
What is going on?
The hell?
I mean, this stuff is not only sick, but it's dumb.
Luigi Mangione was not pushed too far by UnitedHealthcare.
He wasn't even insured by UnitedHealthcare.
These people are cheering on a killing that accomplished nothing but leaving a widow and kids without a father.
In general, over the holidays, however you want to look at it.
That's not normal.
That's not okay.
The good news is, under my father's administration, we are going to restore law and order and get this country back on the right track.
How about we bring back some values?
How about we bring back some decency?
Maybe a little bit of God, because I think we all need some of that right now.
We can do that!
That could perhaps be one of the most important things we could do for our country, for the future, for our children, for the next generation, for this civilization to be able to exist much longer.
than I guess the left would like.
And if you need any more evidence, guys, that the FBI needs Akash Patel at the helm as FBI Director, then look no further than this IG report.
In an Inspector General report that former agent Steve Friend just tweeted out, as he said, Steve wrote, an FBI assistant special agent in charge sexually harassed two employees.
He discriminated against a disabled job applicant.
He lied to federal investigators.
Naturally, the IG report results in early retirement and zero prosecutions.
Think about that.
All of those things.
Yes, well, it's just fine.
You can retire a little bit early.
There's no actual consequence.
There's no actual accountability, and that's the problem, guys.
We've become a society where, unless you're a MAGA, there's never going to be accountability for anything.
If you are MAGA, they'll lure you in general for no reason whatsoever.
Even John Fetterman, John Fetterman, a Democrat, senator from Pennsylvania, understands that the media has been lying about Kash Patel.
Check this out.
You met with Kash Patel, I believe, right?
Yesterday, well, yes.
He's talked about going after Trump's enemies.
Yeah, and we've had conversations, but all of these interviews were all off the record and those things.
So I'm not going to go into detail, but he absolutely is that that's never going to happen.
He was very forceful.
He's not going to use the FBI to go after Trump's enemies.
No, that's not it.
Did you believe him?
I mean, he's written a lot.
That's what he claims.
And I found out his family's origin story and immigration, and we talked about that, and my wife, my family, immigration and things.
And so I learned things about him.
I never knew that he was a public defender.
As I said at the Turning Point AmFest conference last week in Arizona, for far too long, too many Americans were afraid to speak the truth about their government and the media, but that time is now over.
Check this out.
In the last 48 hours, when they tried jamming a 1,500-page CR down your throats with more pork than a pig farm, and in a few minutes, Almost everyone knew what was in it.
Far more than Congress, you were able to pick out the parts were disastrous, you were able to pick out the fraud, the bribes, the bullshit, and you were able to talk about it.
And it died like that.
We need to keep that up.
For far too long, for far too long, people have been made to be afraid.
Of their media, of their governments, of their representatives.
That time is over.
This election was a mandate against that insanity.
We won resoundingly because Americans want common sense back.
And it has not been common at all for far too long.
And as I've also been saying, the swamp needs some ETP. That's what I call education through pain.
They can't lie to us anymore.
If we all stay involved and we call out those ignoring the will of the people, we can absolutely move mountains, folks.
You saw what the swamp was trying to do to some of my father's appointments.
We went after that.
We called out the lies.
We called out the use of anonymous sources instead of the 30 people who are willing to put their face and name on a piece of paper saying these things are lies.
If we stay vigilant, if we stay active, if we have the resolve that my father would like to show, All Americans, we can stop the absurdities from happening once and for all.
And my father is making it clear, guys.
Business as usual is over.
And we're putting America first.
I can proudly proclaim that the golden age of America is upon us.
On January 20th, the United States will turn the page forever on four long, horrible years of failure.
Our movement not only won a mandate, but we built new American majorities all over the place.
We'll define our country's future.
The people have given us their trust, and in return, we're going to give them the best day one, the biggest first week, and the most extraordinary first 100 days of any president in American history.
Since the election, the stock market has broken one record after another.
The biggest gain of stock market after an election in history.
In a single month, small business optimism soared 41 points, which is a record.
Bitcoin has surged to an all-time record high of $108,000.
We're going to stop woke.
Woke.
Woke is bullshit.
And I will sign executive orders to end child sexual mutilation.
And we will keep men out of women's sports.
But something happened also in the election.
All 50 states shifted toward the Republican Party.
Every single one of them.
They're calling it the Trump Effect because even before taking office, we're already bringing in the jobs and opportunity and safety and common sense back...
To the USA. We're bringing common sense back.
We're going to embark on the most exciting and successful period of reform and renewal in all of American history.
My administration will live by the motto.
Promises made, promises kept.
We did keep our promises.
We're going to cut your taxes, end inflation, slash your prices, raise your wages, and bring thousands of factories roaring back to America and right back here to Arizona.
Coming soon to America.
Now.
Before we go, I'm also going to be taking some of your questions that have been coming up here on Rumble and on X. So this is just sort of a general one.
I'm not sure it's the day after Christmas.
Maybe people are watching tonight.
Maybe it's a big night.
Maybe it's not.
Didn't want to bother a guest over the holidays.
Hopefully they're enjoying it with their families.
But I wanted to make sure I addressed a lot of the things that have been popping up in my Truth Feed, X Feed, whatever...
It's popping up that we can fill up that rest of the show and hopefully get you guys the answers to all of the things you're trying to learn about.
But first, I want to thank another one of our great sponsors, the Birch Gold Group.
Prepare for the future and diversify your savings, guys.
Look, with my father back in office, you're going to have more money in your paycheck, and that means you'll have more opportunities to plan for the years and decades ahead.
One way you can do that is by diversifying your portfolio into gold.
For over 20 years, Birch Gold Group has helped thousands of Americans protect their savings by converting an IRA or 401k into an IRA in physical gold.
To learn more, text D-O-N-J-R. Text my name.
Just type in, you know, 989898. Okay, that's who you're texting it to.
Put in D-O-N-J-R. And claim your free, no obligation info kit on gold.
Educate yourself.
That's all we ask.
Doesn't cost you anything.
Check it out.
So text Don Jr. to the number 989898 and check it out.
So with that folks, talking a lot.
Take a little sip of the drink and then we're going to get to your questions.
All right.
What are my thoughts on how the CR, the Continuum Resolution Spending Bill, played out?
I think your father is right about the debt ceiling.
Yeah, a lot of stuff in there, right?
That first bill, when people, they get a 1,500-page document.
They're asked to read it, understand it, and vote on it, like, in 48 hours.
That's absolute insanity.
We had to call that out.
I think the real problem with not doing something is also, though, you gave Chuck Schumer all this leverage, right?
If he has the debt ceiling stuff to hold over our heads in the coming month, like, that was everything.
That was a problem the Republicans gave us, sort of inherited.
From eight, nine months ago, whenever that was.
So, cutting down the bill, cutting down all of that pork.
You saw me, Iglan, Vivek, my father, say this is nonsense.
It was just full of pork, right?
Why does someone need a vote to keep the government on?
But, you know, we need a billion dollars here to study some crap that no one cares about.
We need pay raises for members of Congress.
How about they get a pay raise once they balance the budget?
It's a continuing resolution.
It gets you to that next level.
It doesn't fund people's salaries in perpetuity.
I love that it was cut down.
I love that they cut it from 1,500 pages to 150 pages.
They took 90% of the crap out of there.
I mean, it's sort of hard to believe, right?
But that's how bad it is.
That's how government is functioning.
So I love that there were people that called this stuff out.
And then the next one, hey, it's not ideal, but it made sense.
But we also got to be careful to not give Chuck Schumer that ammunition that he can use to hold over the Republicans, to hold over my father.
And the Democrats will do that, right?
The media will gladly tell them it's all the Republicans' fault.
This isn't something that happened months ago and whatever it may be.
They're doing that on a daily basis.
You see also how they're trying to Now, it's Elon's presidency, or Vice President Elon, or President Elon.
They're trying to literally create a schism there, saying that, trying to, I guess, you know, play to my father's ego, that he's really worried about this.
Like, no, Elon's been a great part of the team.
He's doing an incredible job.
He's going to expose so much.
But you see it.
It's like childish, like, kindergarten-type games, because that's basically all the media at this point has left.
So, watching all of that play out is pretty absurd.
Anyway, what are the latest updates with the transition?
Are you confident we'll be ready to go on day one?
We have an incredible team.
What I've always said, I think you've probably heard me on the show say it before, is that this time around, it's so much better.
It's so much better because we know who the good guys are on day one.
It doesn't mean everything's going to be perfect, right?
You're putting in 4,000 employees.
That's sort of what they call the plum book.
It's the presidential appointees and you're going through all of that stuff.
But honestly, had we won in 2020, you just take the same people from 16 to 20 and rolled them into 20 to 24. And by the way, we won, just so we're clear.
But had we assumed the presidency, I don't think anyone looking after this election day, I wonder where those Where'd those 8 million votes go?
It's shocking.
It's hard to believe.
It's like they disappeared out of thin air.
So I don't think anyone actually buys that anymore.
So that's nice.
But had we just rolled over that administration, we'd be out of office in 30 days and you would have had a team of people that sort of been kicking the can down the road.
People who were not elected thinking that they knew better than the duly elected president of the United States.
So now we have a chance to really put in a team that understands they work for the president.
They understand they are good to do and follow through on what he wants.
They understand that that's what the American people want.
And we know who the real players are.
And so I am...
I'm super excited about not just this cabinet, but in reality, so much happens at the next levels, whether it's the deputies or the people working under those things.
We have a great team of people that are involved.
Obviously, I've been involved on a daily basis.
Guys that I've known since the beginning of my political journey are in those rooms.
Each and every day, you know, vetting people, getting, you know, figuring out what's going on.
Sometimes, you know, again, I've seen this once or twice where if someone gets in and you look at the system, it's like, what happened?
And it's like, well, the person who got the top job said they love this XYZ person.
So you're like, okay, fine.
Obviously you can bring your guys and then we do a little bit more vetting and you're like, ah, that's not ideal.
So, you know, taking care of a lot of that kind of So, you know, honestly, I think we have a chance at a transformational cabinet.
Something that will be absolutely incredible.
So, I'm super excited about it.
I've been really psyched about the process.
I've been really psyched about the people who are now also You know, coming out of the woodwork saying they want to serve, they want to be involved.
Stuff that would not have happened, you know, in six teams that you're stuck with more of a bureaucrat than anything.
So I'm really excited about the process and I think it's going to be, it's an opportunity like what we've never seen before, perhaps like we may never see again.
You know, so I'm excited about it.
It's going to be great.
It seems like the Democrats are now the ones with the branding problem.
Republicans are even winning over young voters.
How can we keep that momentum?
All right.
Simple.
Stick to your guns.
You're right.
And we're watching it play out.
The people in the media...
It was interesting, right?
I've seen this play out for so long now.
It's maybe a long-winded answer, but...
You know, there's so many things that became, like, tenets of the Democrat philosophy that just doesn't really align with the American people.
I saw this earlier in the Daily Wire, kind of...
Mary Margaret Olihan, I guess, gave me sort of credit for it.
It's like, they were talking about the trans women in sports thing.
And she went back and did some research.
She was like, fine, done.
You were talking about this in, like, 2017. Like, before it became a thing.
And I knew it was a strong point because...
That was like Twitter 1.0, 90% leftist, whatever it may be.
And I'm tweeting these things about how it's insane that men are playing in women's sports.
And even there, you'd read the comments and people are like, oh, Don, I hate you so much, but you're right about this.
So the mouth boxes in D.C. and in L.A. and New York, they ran with these things that weren't actually popular.
With the American public.
And so the Democrats continue to do this.
You know, they can't believe that Kamala Harris got like it.
Well, what did she do to deserve to get elected?
What lengths did she go?
She coasted through these things.
She spent three times the amount our campaign spent.
Lost every swing state imaginable.
Refused to go on all these great, you know, podcasts that have hundreds of times the viewership of so many of the mainstream sources that they went to.
You know, I said it earlier, I think, on the show.
It's like, who cares if you can't afford groceries, guys?
Three-year-olds need gender-affirming care without parental consent.
I mean, this is a party that's lost their minds.
And because they've never had to face accountability until recently, you know, there was no way to get that message out.
In 2020, if I called out stuff on the VAX, if I called out stuff on what they were pushing, if I called out stuff on the censorship, if I called out stuff on the lawfare, it just went into the ether.
No one ever saw it.
Now, with a level playing field on, you know, in social media, not entirely, but where we have a chance, where we have, you know, on truth social, you have a chance, obviously, on X, you know, people are like, oh, wait, that's actually really going on, right?
It was like, you know, a year later, when the Hunter Biden laptop was verified, 17% of the country were like, oh, wow, I would have never voted for Joe Biden had I known that was real.
Well, it was covered in the New York Post.
That's like the second oldest newspaper in the United States.
So the news was out there.
Just no one saw it.
The truth could actually emerge if you knew where to look, if you had the guts to get to page 5,000 of Google, but it never actually showed up early.
And so now that's different.
And so the truth was the Democrats were never, I guess they were good at marketing, but they were good at marketing because they had all these sort of artificial boosters.
Now that people understand what their platform really is, now that they understand that they're willing to lie to you about literally everything, everything they've been telling us for the last nine years, especially the last four years, has just been one big lie after the other.
Now that people know, I don't know how you recover from that.
If they keep pushing the nonsense that they're pushing, it should be irrecoverable.
Now, they are good at adapting.
They're good at raising money.
They'll spend 5x what we'll do on an average congressional race.
So, you know, we have to stay vigilant, but stay on it.
There's much less consequence.
To being vocal on our side than there was a few years ago.
It's not as penal.
Now, like you said in the question, we're winning 50% of that youth vote 18 to 29. I never even thought that was possible.
We were able to do that so quickly.
So we have to stay on the gas.
We have to make sure that people understand that.
You just don't ever give up an inch.
Stay in it.
Let's see, next one.
Don, is there any role in the White House for a meme general like yourself?
I mean, I think...
Frankly, meme general is going to be much more effective than a lot of the generals we have in there right now.
Again, more concerned about gender-affirming care and other nonsense woke policies.
No, not for me, but I imagine they will continue to play the game.
A picture says a thousand words.
I put that in my bio years ago, and the left went berserk.
It was like, oh my god, it's stolen violence, because they have no sense of humor.
But the reality is, I think there is.
I mean, the social media team there is going to be great.
I think they're going to continue to play in sort of an unconventional for the White House kind of way because that's what resonates.
That's what actually works, right?
You know, the sort of, you know, the boomer mentality of we're going to do things the same way they've always been done.
It's lost its effect on it.
I think it's why we're able to do so well with, you know, some of that youth vote is we're talking to them the way they talk.
We're communicating with them and, you know, You know, in the way that they communicate.
And I think it was able to be, you know, incredibly effective.
So, you know, I imagine we'll continue some of that.
You know, it's probably not a full-time job, but maybe I'll get an occasional repost.
But no, I'm looking forward to what the social media team does and, you know, really adapting to the times, not just doing things the way of old Washington.
Let's see.
There's been some back and forth on X recently about the role big tech should or shouldn't have in the new administration.
For example, Jeff Bezos and Mark Zuckerberg recently met with your father.
Do you know what those meetings were about and what should we expect?
Well, you know, the meetings were, you know, obviously, you know, in general, people come and they want to talk.
They understand what's happening for the next four years.
They understand the guy that's in power.
You know, I know Elon was there, so I'm sure he'd have some interesting opinions on it.
I'm not going to, you know, I'm not going to over speculate.
You know, hopefully.
Hopefully, people who had sort of been leading the charge on the left understand maybe that's not where the country is.
Maybe they realize some of that could have been misguided.
Maybe they adapt and change their policies or their algorithms, you know, whatever that may be.
I think, you know, that would be fundamentally critical.
For what we're trying to do in the country.
So, you know, tech's going to be a big part of it.
You saw, you know, David Sachs, great guy, you know, the sort of AI crypto czar.
So I think it's going to be the first administration that really tackles not just, you know, tech in terms of, you know, the internet or social media, but like tech in terms of where we're going with AI, where we're going with crypto, where we're going, you know, in these new horizons.
You know, they've been around for a little while, but I think there's so much There to unpackage.
So much to discover.
I think it's just going to be a great opportunity to set the stage right for all of those kinds of things.
So I'm super excited about that one as well.
And, you know, I think it'll be transformational.
Yeah, should be a good one.
I look forward to doing that again.
We'll do another Q&A where I'll take some of the other stuff a little bit more live in the next couple weeks.
Again, I just wanted to make sure I got something out there for the show.
