Time Text
Thank you.
What's going on guys?
Hope everyone's doing well.
Not sure where we're going right now because I don't see anything up on the screen.
Get the team to fix that.
Just popped into the chair here.
But welcome to another huge episode of Triggered.
I hope you guys all had an incredible weekend.
A lot of stuff going on, especially in the world of Rumble.
We'll get into that.
Definitely, I'm sure that'll happen in the Q&A with Bongino going in to be Deputy FBI. That's gonna be a big deal.
Dan's an incredible guy.
Also, definitely gonna miss him here.
love what he's able to do in terms of shape you you you you
Expecting that, but this is what happens when you have real leadership.
And breaking news, just moments ago, a federal judge refused to issue a temporary restraining order for the Associated Press in its crusade to have full access to the Trump administration.
The AP is basically claiming that they have a First Amendment right to the briefing room and the Oval Office.
But...
It doesn't appear that this judge or any reasonable person actually agrees with that.
They can get it like everyone else does.
If they're going to constantly be pushing nonsense, you don't get the special privileges, folks.
It's that simple.
So I hope you're starting to have a little fun with this.
I hope you're not sick of all the winning yet.
I know I'm not.
And I doubt that I ever will be.
After the last four years of hell, I imagine, guys, there's not an amount of winning that would actually ever satisfy us, totally.
So that's good.
We'll just have to keep our foot on the gas and fix our country.
We have so much to get into tonight.
Also, I will be taking your questions live once I get through the news of the day because I know the chat is blowing up.
Obviously, I'm already seeing the stuff about...
Dan, I'm seeing a lot about crying libs.
A lot going on here.
So we'll get into all of that shortly.

Now, let's get to some of the top headlines of the day.
And of course, we begin with the dream team at the FBI. Yesterday, it was announced that friend and fellow Rumble host Dan Bongino will be deputy director of the FBI under Kash Patel.
This is massive.
And it shows just how serious we are about getting our law enforcement agencies back on track.
Here is Dan today from his show talking about just that.
Just about me, folks.
The do matters.
Who's next?
You know, I said last week and a couple of media critics commented, I said we're all going to have to take it on the chin a little bit.
Now do you see what I meant?
I never got in this for the money or notoriety.
Listen, I enjoy making money and that I can impact people's lives and that people come out and say nice things to me as much as the next guy.
But if you think that's why I got involved in this, running as a Republican in deep blue Maryland, my life of activism and my time in the Secret Service, if you think I got in the Secret Service to get rich, then you don't know me and you haven't seen the government salary scale.
But I am going in this clear-eyed vision of President Trump, Attorney General Bondi, and Director Patel.
I am going to do my job to implement that vision.
And I can tell you right now, we are going to try our best.
And of course, guys, it comes just days after another friend and great American, Kash Patel, was sworn in as the FBI director, marking a historic The American dream.
And anyone that thinks the American dream is dead, just look right here.
You're talking to a first generation Indian kid who's about to lead the law enforcement community, the greatest nation on God's green earth.
That can't happen anywhere else.
To the senators and the men and women of the United States House of Representatives, you placed an enormous trust in me, an enormous leap of faith.
One that I didn't know that I could possibly earn back, but I'm going to spend every single day on this job doing so.
But guys, just like clockwork, all the normal deep state stenographers are melting down.
Kel Deliannan at NBC, who I'm sure you remember for being implicated during Russiagate.
Or essentially taking his marching orders from Fusion GPS. Well, guys, he had a report that FBI agents are appalled by the break from tradition.
Really?
Tradition?
You mean like the tradition of using a phony dossier and a FISA warrant to spy on a presidential candidate and then sitting president?
Is that part of the tradition, Ken?
At school board meetings?
Having every known terrorist in modern time on your radar but never preventing something?
Using almost 50% of your 13,000 people to track down J6ers rather than, I don't know, actual terrorists?
What about that, guys?
Is that also tradition or is that something totally new?
Of course, guys, the reason Democrats and their media sycophants are so spooked It's because they no longer have an FBI leadership willing to turn the other way on their corruption.
There really is a new sheriff in town.
And as for the media specifically, well, there's some rough days over at MSDNC where host Joy Reid is now apparently out of a job.
And she doesn't seem to be taking it all that well.
In a fairness, It's not that Joy Reid ever took anything all that well.
She was one of the biggest hoaxters in all of media.
But apparently having no ratings and having no people actually trust you doesn't earn or let you keep a job even at MSDNC anymore.
I think you guys will enjoy this one.
...value and that, I'm sorry, that what I was doing had value.
And in the end, I'm sorry, I try not to cry on TV. This is kind of like being on TV, so I apologize.
And that it mattered.
I see Karen is there, and she's been texting me as well.
And so what I will just say is that in the end, thank you, where I land is that The moment of guilt that I felt that I went hard on so many issues, whether it was the Black Lives Matter issues of a young baby or a mom or a dad that was killed,
or when we opened up people's eyes to the fact that Asian Americans were being targeted and not just Black folks, or went hard for immigrants who've done nothing but come to this country like my parents did.
Well, guys, the joy is gone.
I mean, between the race baiting and lies and just outright insanity, I think it's good riddance.
Now, if you remember, Joy is the one who years ago had a bunch of seriously homophobic blog posts that she blamed on a hack.
But the evidence shows that there was no hacking, and it looks like she may have even...
Lied to the FBI. Her ratings, of course, were very low.
No one was watching.
But for MSDNC, that's just another day that ends in Y. I'm actually still shocked that they got rid of her because, again, getting rid of someone who has no ratings, who has no following, who's obviously generating the network no income, I'm surprised that hasn't turned into something that is racist yet.
But, hey, you never know.
Maybe the world is healing.
Now they just got to get rid of some more joy over on The View, Joy Behar, and maybe things will continue to get better.
And if you needed any more evidence, though, guys, that liberalism is in fact a mental disorder, just listen to this one TikTok user who says she hasn't paid taxes in eight years and calls for Elon Musk to be assassinated.
This is completely insane.
And again, I look forward to seeing what happens when the IRS knocks on her door, wondering why she hasn't paid taxes in eight years and or, you know, threatening someone working in the administration.
But the insanity keeps flowing.
Check it out.
I promised myself I would avoid the news.
But obviously I haven't.
Here's my one thought.
I mean, I have many thoughts.
Elon Musk.
Like, we need to ex him.
And by ex I mean, formally known as assassination.
I know someone from FBI is gonna fucking show up on him.
Arrest me.
You don't have enough people to even investigate me at this point.
I haven't filed my taxes in, like, eight years.
And yet, no one's covered me.
So, I'm gonna fucking say it.
Let's assassinate some motherfuckers.
I think Harmba over here in the live chat gets it right.
She's got them crazy eyes.
They all do.
It's amazing.
You don't even have to hear.
You can just put some of those videos on mute and know exactly which side she's on and just how crazy she is.
But she may not even be the craziest one on the left.
For that, guys, we go to Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett.
Many of my colleagues and her colleagues in Congress call her Jasmine Crockett shit, but I digress.
Jasmine Crockett, who says we shouldn't be cutting government waste and we shouldn't be reimbursing the taxpayers.
And because I quote, I don't know what $5,000 will do for you.
You got to watch this.
So the people that were really happy to give out money to Americans doesn't want the same Americans to get reimbursed with more money of their own money of the savings that we find.
You can't quite make this stuff up.
Check this one out.
President Trump says he likes the idea of giving some of the savings from Doge back to Americans as kind of a dividend.
Would you support that?
Listen, he's just telling a lie.
He's not the one that had anything to do with the $1,200 refunds that people had during the midst of COVID that was done by refunds that people had during the midst of COVID that was done by a Democratic House
Right now, what they're going to do is say, "Hey, we want to give you a refund, but Congress won't let us," because they already know that there's just no money for that.
The only reason that those refunds came before was because we were living in different times.
This was a time in which hopefully we won't ever go through again.
We had a once-in-a-lifetime pandemic.
The bad part is that I don't know if it's once-in-a-lifetime because we know We know that Ebola, unfortunately, was detected right here in New York, here recently.
And if we continue down this road of getting rid of scientists or deciding that we don't want to rely on experts as relates to what they're telling us to do, or we don't want to deal with vaccines and medicine in this country.
Then we may be facing not only our next pandemic, but our next two, three, or four pandemics because of their incompetence.
So no, we are not in the business of giving out money.
And honestly, I don't know what $5,000 will do.
Guys, sorry about that little cut out of the audio there.
We had a little bit of issue, a big thunderstorm here earlier.
I think it cut out some of the stuff, but I think we're back.
So just so we're clear on that clip, Democrats don't want Americans to actually get any money.
They want to spend the money on Trans Elmo Sesame Street in Guatemala.
Remember, they're not in the business of giving out money.
But if you look at some of the things that USAID, and I'm sure we're going to find out a lot more from the Doge team, was giving out, I have a feeling Americans would rather have that money in their pocket.
Remember, if it's for Trans Elmo, they're totally for giving out millions upon millions.
$50 billion a year, to be exact, with USAID, over your taxpayer dollars.
If it's cutting those ridiculous programs that don't do anything for the American people and actually giving the American taxpayer back their money, they're not forgiving out money.
They're only forgiving out money when they can buy votes, whether it's like the debt forgiveness for the college student loans, for the gender studies majors, to get them to vote Democrat, these kinds of things.
These people are nuts.
But the good news is...
The Trump administration is actually focused on improving your quality of life, and major American companies are getting on board.
Apple, Apple, actually, today announced its biggest investment ever, planning to spend $500 billion domestically over the next four years.
Just so we understand, $500 billion is half a trillion dollars.
Over the next four years, not one of these where they stretch it out and then don't honor it.
Check this one out.
$1 billion.
That's the largest ever U.S. spending plan for the world's biggest company.
And it comes with thousands of new jobs across multiple states.
Now, as you mentioned, we knew this was coming as President Trump teased it on Friday.
And then Apple CEO Tim Cook was at the White House on Thursday.
Apple is spending 50% more this year in 2025 than it did during the first Trump term.
So $500 billion over four years this time?
Four years.
Not five years like they usually do.
20,000 new jobs.
A new AI server factory in Houston, Texas.
And that's significant for Apple.
to farm out their AI server needs to third-party providers like AWS. Also, you've got a new Detroit Academy doubling their research and development fund.
Now, Apple CEO Tim Cook says we're bullish on the future of American innovation, and we're proud to build on our longstanding U.S. investments.
And meanwhile, guys...
Democrat-run states are on notice that if they don't comply with federal law, then they can say goodbye to their federal funds.
Sort of seems like a no-brainer.
Like, you don't comply with federal law, you don't get federal funds.
I mean, it doesn't seem all that difficult.
But here's my father delivering a much-needed reality check to the woke leftist governor of Maine.
Has complied immediately, by the way.
That's good.
But I understand Maine.
Is Maine here?
The governor of Maine?
Are you not going to comply with it?
I'm complying with state and federal law.
Well, we are the federal law.
Well, you better do it.
You better do it because you're not going to get any federal funding at all if you don't.
And by the way, your population, even though it's somewhat liberal, although I did very well there, your population doesn't want men playing in women's sports.
So you better comply because otherwise you're not getting any federal funding.
Every state, good, I'll see you in court.
I look forward to that.
That should be a real easy one.
And enjoy your life after governor, because I don't think you'll be in elected politics.
And by the way, the woke, lunatic governor of Maine decided to embarrass the entire state by then performing at a drag show.
Who votes for these far-left freaks?
I mean, I get it.
I've been to Maine.
I have a hunting camp in Maine.
I love it up there.
Once you get off the coastline, it's pretty damn MAGA. But what is going on?
check this out when the truth comes out you can run but you know it's ending at the bottom of the grave you're digging out when the truth comes out jones mom over here in the feed say she's a man and And I've seen some questions.
Does anyone actually know?
Is the governor of Maine trans?
I don't know.
I'm not saying it.
I saw some pictures.
I saw it go pretty viral over the weekend.
Definitely people are wondering.
So I don't actually know the answer to that one.
We can probably get into that in a little bit more detail once we get fully to the live chat and get out of it.
But the jury's still out on that one.
But guys, this BS is ending.
This new Trump team is tougher and bolder than ever.
We're not putting up with any more nonsense from the media, from the swamp, from Democrats, from RINOs.
Those days are over.
Just look at how Defense Secretary Pete Hegsteth reacted to this moronic question just moments ago.
I'm going to choose to reject your unqualified question. - Who's next? - I'm very happy.
Guys, we're cleaning out the rot from every single corner of government.
No more wasteful, tax-eating, bloated bureaucrats getting a free pass as the rest of us subsidize their rather extraordinary lives.
It's a new day.
The stakes are high.
The hour is late.
But the winning is just getting started.
So guys, get those questions up and ready.
I'm going to talk about one more great and brave tax sponsor, and then we're going to get to you guys for the rest of the show.
Now, like I always say, we're cleaning out the waste inside the IRS.
But if you are still overwhelmed with back taxes or unfiled returns, Tax Network USA is here to help.
Tax Network USA is the nation's premier tax relief firm and has negotiated over $1 billion in tax relief for their clients.
Their services include penalty forgiveness, hardship programs, compromise solutions for lump sum settlements.

If you have stuff outstanding, don't take any chances.
Don't try to deal with the IRS alone.
Speak to the guys at Tax Network USA. So guys, with that, I'm going to get into the questions here.
So I want to know, what do you guys think about Bongino?
I love it.
He's a great friend.
I think he'll be great in the role.
We got to get him and Cash a couple people that really understand how that building works, right?
You can go in with the best intentions if you don't understand how it works.
All the underlings, the bureaucrats in there, they'll try to slow roll you and block you.
I'm sure there's plenty of people trying to do that across all walks of life.
So that's going to be something that we definitely have to address and deal with.
But I think it'll be great.
But, you know, I do want to see what you...
I know there's a lot of love for Bongino.
The one thing I'm worried about with it is, like, with what Dan does here on Rumble and his streaming and just doing it every day, I think he's going to kick some serious butt.
But he's also great at kind of helping form and create the narrative for so many of the issues that we then have to get out there.
So, wow, the stream's going hard.
Can we slow that down a little bit, guys, so I can read the questions, actually?
So, you know, I want them to be in there.
I love that I congratulated them yesterday on the news.
Just absolutely awesome.
But we got to make sure that we still have those guys out there doing just that, being able to figure out what the issues are, attack them accordingly.
And so we got to...
We got to get after us.
What is Cash doing arrest people already?
I mean, listen, I think, you know, it's been about a day.
I mean, it's been about a day.
We got to let these guys get their sea legs underneath them.
You know, we got to follow through the thing.
Oh, when will we see the Epstein list?
According to Pam Bondi, I saw over the weekend that she apparently has the files on her desk.
She's going to be going through them.
And, you know, hopefully we see that rather quickly.
As I've said, probably since I started this show, you know that Trump's not on the Epstein list, because if he was, it would have leaked by now.
Oh yeah, I know you know, but yeah, Graham Allen, another great friend, he's going over to be with Pete Hegseth over at DOD. That's another great streamer on Rumble.
So we don't want to lose too many of these guys, but it's important.
Don Jr., why is our Secret Service still wearing suits and loafers?
Why are they not in tactical gear carrying out or carrying out a sidearm?
Our military doesn't go into combat wearing a suit.
Listen, I think there's a component of it that, you know, guys, you know, there's an optic, you know, when they're traveling and they're doing it.
I mean, listen, I know the CAT teams and the guys on there behind the scenes.
I mean, very high speed, very tactical.
You know, the agents on the ground, all great guys.
You know, it's just hard to show up in every meeting.
With all of that.
So there is all of that support behind it.
You don't necessarily always see it.
So I think it's just an optics of not trying to appear too militant in these things.
But, you know, I could see both sides of that.
Let's see.
Okay, I can't.
Yeah, okay, we slowed it down as much as we can, but I guess the feed's going pretty wild.
How many people do we have on?
Fairly normal, but I guess a lot of people are asking questions.
When will Cash declassify the UAP files?
That's the UFO stuff.
That's a good question.
I don't know if that's Cash.
I don't know if that's somewhere else.
Obviously, we've been talking about it a lot on the show.
I'm on the outside, guys.
I'm loud.
I guess I got pretty big platforms.
Almost 15 million on X. 5 million on Truth.
A couple million here.
You know, nine million on Insta, a couple million on TikTok.
I don't cede any of that ground.
So, you know, we're all over.
So, you know, I'm on the outside.
I don't ask the administration to do anything.
But I think, you know, when you have a big platform, you can say things pretty loud and it takes notice.
So we'll definitely have to work on getting that released.
I think the American people deserve to know this administration is about transparency.
And so we'll have to get that out there.
Do I ever see myself running for president?
Not right now.
I mean, I know I saw some polling that had me up there with JD leading for 28. I'd love to, you know, I think JD is doing an incredible job right now.
I mean, what he did in Paris and what he did in Munich, and he's just speaking real truth power, not just taking the globalist mindset.
I think he's doing an awesome job.
So, you know, you never know.
Maybe there's some day where you got to get in the game.
You know, right now, I feel like the best thing the left did over the last four years with their insanity was they forced us to learn to fight.
They went so overboard.
The pendulum overcorrected so badly that we actually had to fight.
And in that fight, a lot of people sort of rose to the top.
And now those people would have either been quiet or never have gotten into the game.
You know, the establishment would have just maintained power.
If the left would have just shut up in 2020 and let Trump win like we all know he did, you know, you'd have had a lackluster administration, you know, in the sense that a lot of the same can kickers would still be in there.
They just slow-rolled Trump.
They would have waited him out four years.
You know, I don't think Pence was going anywhere, so you'd probably end up with a Democrat president right now.
Without all of this information, without the ability to do this, without the people who they literally tried to throw in jail for 10 years saying, you know what?
It's okay.
I'm actually going to willingly fight for our country.
So it wasn't just a mistake in that they gave Trump a chance to do what he probably, what I wish we could have done in the first administration.
We just didn't have the knowledge to actually get it done.
Now we're getting it done.
But more importantly, now we have a bench of great America first warriors that can take the reins.
You know, when my father's done in four years.
And so I think that's amazing.
It's the first time, you know, we have a bench and they don't.
We have ideas and they're just going to histrionics.
It's a really big deal.
So I'm super excited about that.
Doesn't mean I'm ruling it out forever.
Who the hell knows?
Maybe you do it.
You got to want the day job.
Thank you, Trump Jr. 2028. I appreciate that.
You know, so.
We'll see.
We will see.
But right now, I'm not necessarily thinking about it, but again, you never know.
You're so handsome.
Thank you, Crystal.
I really appreciate that.
Flattery will get you everything, Crystal.
I need some of that after some of these days.
I think Bongino's value is that Secret Service was below.
Trust him and have shared info with him.
I think that's a really good point.
He definitely has, you know, and that's what it is, guys.
You know, the FBI, while broken as an institution because of the bureaucrats, there's a lot of door kickers that are definitely on our side.
You got to make sure those guys have a voice.
You got to make sure that those whistleblowers aren't penalized.
Remember, every whistleblower that came out against Trump, even if it was usually crap, you know, they were beyond reproach.
They were, they didn't have any accountability.
You had to believe everything that they said, and it didn't matter.
Those guys will be happy to talk to a guy like a Bongino or a Kash Patel.
Those guys will be protected.
It won't be like fake whistleblower status where you get shipped off to go guard a pile of rubber dog crap in Guam for actually speaking the truth and talking about these powers.
So I think that's really important.
I do think we need to get some people to make sure that underneath, the bureaucratic rot goes a couple levels deep.
There's a long way from the top to the door kickers.
And so we got to bridge that gap with people who are good, loyal, who believe in the mission so that the middlemen that are still there aren't just going to try to slow roll everyone there.
I think that's super important.
You know, let's see.
Let's see.
From Hippie Weed.
Doge in every state and in the Ukraine.
A hundred percent.
That would be huge.
That's a really big deal.
I want to know where that Ukraine money is going.
You're in there for a quarter of a trillion dollars and probably a lot more.
Zelensky says he hasn't even got half of it.
I don't really trust anything that he says, so it doesn't necessarily matter.
I think the American taxpayer deserves to do that.
I think they need to have these same departments going on in the states, right?
The states collect a lot of revenue from you, whether it's property taxes or otherwise.
They got billions of dollars flowing through them.
And I imagine the same waste, fraud, and abuse is happening at the state level.
I imagine there's still that same amount of kickback going to probably the Democrat overlords there.
So I think we need to dogeify all of America.
People want to know.
Even if they don't do anything, just have the information out there.
Let the taxpayer make an informed decision on who to vote for in the future.
That's a big deal.
The Dream Team is going to be epic.
Will the FBI whistleblowers have an opportunity to get their jobs back in the department?
God bless.
Yes, I would hope that's the case.
Again, I'm outside of the administration.
I think these are things that are really important.
We're confirming that's the case.
Yes, the whistleblower, certainly.
Okay, we're confirming it now live, so congratulations.
Well done.
From Freedom Rings, when is Fort Knox getting audited?
What happens if it's empty?
If it's empty, I would imagine there's hell to pay.
I mean, you know, what's there supposed to be, like 4,000 tons of gold in there?
And there was a great meme this weekend about what's going on at Fort Knox right now, and they just showed a bunch of bricks, like actually just, you know, bricks to build stuff, and a bunch of cans of gold spray paint for that audit.
But we should know.
I mean, You know, we're not on the gold standard anymore.
I get that.
But that's a big thing that's supposed to be backing up at least some of our stability and power.
And there's a reason they're not letting people in Congress, congressional Republicans, senators, congressmen, actually going in there.
People who do have classified clearances to get into these things, they don't want them in the building.
And I wonder why.
Usually if they...
Oh, your hubby Lobo bought me a burnout yesterday.
That's awesome.
Who's that?
Debweth17.
I'm glad you like it.
That's great.
Yeah, so we got to figure it all out.
We have to audit everything.
People have to understand.
Remember, if you're against auditing the federal government and all of these programs, when there's billions at stake, you're probably in on the fraud, right?
That's just basic common sense and reason.
So I think that's important.
I think we got to get it done.
Thank you, Freedom Rings.
We'll go from there.
Slowpoke7759.
I'll vote for you, Don Jr. Well, I appreciate that.
Thank you very much.
You know, we just got to remember, guys, the big thing's going to be, like, the midterm battle started, like, this week.
We got to be in there.
We got to be fighting for these things.
We got to make sure, you know, just because Trump's not on the ticket anymore, you understand that everyone on the left is going to go and try to go against Trump.
So we don't want two years.
We need the full four years, and then we need another eight years after that with whoever that's going to be.
I think we have some great options now.
We've got to make sure they can function.
So we have to stay just as involved, just as in the game right now and in the midterm cycle as we would during the last election when Trump was on the top of the ticket, because Trump's policies are still on the top of the ticket, and the Democrats are going to spend a lot of money trying to negate his ability to do that.
People keep asking about Ethereum.
I don't want to give financial advice, but I love it.
I think ETH, Bitcoin, all of these tables, I think all great things.
I think as a hedge against some of the other insanity, I'm a believer, but again, I don't want to give you financial advice because someone will sue me, whatever it may be.
I'm speaking at the DeFi conference.
On Wednesday in Denver.
So I think Wednesday, 5 o'clock Eastern, I guess that's 3 p.m.
Denver time, central, or mountain time.
So you can check it out.
I'll have some more thoughts on all things crypto.
World Liberty is going along great.
I'll probably give you guys the update then at that one.
How do you feel about the Philadelphia Eagles not coming to the White House?
I saw something literally right as we were going on that they actually did not say no.
So I'm not sure where that actually stands.
People can do what they want.
I mean, sort of, that's up to them.
But I saw something on either Newsmax or Fox or something like that.
It was on TV in the background that they did not say that they weren't going.
So who knows?
Where we're at.
We just want accountability, as do I. When are you coming to Wisconsin?
I don't know.
I know there's some stuff going on there politically, so I'm sure I'll end up there in the not-too-distant future.
Obviously, a lot of stuff.
I think Supreme Court stuff over there, really important for the future.
So again, we can't sit these little things out.
We have to get involved and stay in the game.
Your dad should sign an executive order stating that all Americans will be first to receive any UAP UFO tech recovered for free past, present, and the future.
That's Dark Knight.
That's interesting.
I mean, I'm not sure what the average person is naturally going to do with, you know, the tech, but we shall see.
But, yeah, I mean, listen, I'm all for the transparency.
So let's make sure that happens.
Vincent says deer season.
You know, deer season's pretty much over for me.
So unfortunately this year my hunting season was rather lackluster in the sense that I was just campaigning the whole time.
So I figured trying to save the free world.
Western civilization was probably a little bit more important than hunting.
I won't say that often.
That was probably the last time I'm going to miss too much.
But this was a big one.
And so I missed a lot of it this year.
I don't think I even went.
Did I even go, dear honey?
I did a doe call, you know, annual thing that we do with a bunch of buddies, I guess.
I did do that, so got a little bit in, but it was like two days.
And so we shall see.
Magical Trevor, watching your deck stack win after win.
Let's see.
I'm trying to keep up, but let's see.
Maybe you guys, if you could see some of the good questions, clip them and throw them up on the screen because I got to slow it down because I can't read the question before it scrolls through.
Suppressors are a safety.
All-American badass suppressors are a safety thing for hunting.
Listen, suppressors, just so we're clear, in Europe, you can buy suppressors at like a hardware store, like over-the-counter.
Every rifle basically just has them.
I love suppressors.
My field ethos, my outdoor brand, we work a lot with Silencer Shop and do a lot of stuff with them.
Since I've moved down from the People's Republic of New York to the free state of Florida, most of my guns, even my precision stuff, suppressed.
It's just so much nicer, man.
When you don't have to deal with that, doubling up foamies over muffs.
Listen, a muzzle brake still has a thing, sometimes for hunting.
If you're hunting in a blind, suppressor's great.
You're carrying around the woods all day.
Sometimes they get a little bit, you know, top-heavy or get in the way.
Or if you're taking one shot, usually do it.
But I've definitely turned down, like, shots on game because I didn't have time to get ears in.
I'm just like, it's not worth blowing out your ear.
So I'm a big believer in suppressor.
Cash is also apparently taking over ATF. So definitely have a lot of ideas for the things that are just broken in that organization.
I saw sort of the org chart there, and I'm wondering if any, like...
If any of these people know much about the Second Amendment or anything about guns or if they're just sort of weaponized bureaucrats, which I imagine would be the case.
And so we've got to fix a lot of this stuff over at ATF. I think we've got to simplify some of these processes, speed up the times.
Although the e-form stuff, honestly, I've had stuff approved in like four days now with the e-forms for suppressors.
But a $200 tax stamp every time you do it, I mean, it's sort of ridiculous.
For what?
Literally, if the communists in Europe, and you can get a suppressor, you know, over the counter, we shouldn't have a problem with these things here.
So I'd love to get, like, HPA, the Hearing Protection Act, back.
If Republicans kind of put that on my dad's desk, I imagine he'd sign it.
Or just eliminate the need for all of that entirely, because it's absolutely ridiculous.
I mean, when they do the, it's a silencer, you can't hear it.
It's such nonsense.
But...
We should talk about that.
Maybe I should have Kevin Brittingham, my buddy, who runs The Q. He's one of the, you know, top engineers in that space.
But he's also like the biggest suppressor nerd in the world.
He's got books from the 1920s.
It actually started out, the regulation stuff started out not because of like the mafia hit guys.
It actually had to do with people poaching during the Great Depression.
I mean, I guess they were trying to feed their families, but the suppressor, you know, people were killing a lot of game.
Uh, out of season, whatever it may be.
But again, anyone who knows how it generally really works, you know, unless you're shooting super subsonics in close range, heavy bullets tight to suppress, like the noise is still fairly loud.
It's just not blowing out your ear.
Um, you know, at the place, but you know, that's how it all sort of started.
And I think it's time for that to go away.
I'm not going to be the guy making that call, unfortunately, but, uh, you know, we need.
To protect our ears, our hearing, the nuisances, you know, if you have a range near other property, you don't maybe want to hear that all day.
I mean, this could eliminate all of that.
So, you know, I think cash taking over ETF as well as FBI will be a big deal.
And again, it's about putting in the right people underneath them.
So I think, you know, back from my time at Transition, put a lot of great people in there, a lot of ideas on those things.
You know, I'm out of the loop now.
You know, I imagine they know what they need to do at this point.
I would actually shoot my gun instead of store it with a suppressor.
Well, listen, I mean, hearing protection is great.
You know, I throw on, you know, some foamies and walkers, and I shoot a lot of big guns with big brakes and all that stuff.
You know, I like a lot of my handguns.
Obviously, you know, unsuppressed just gets a little bit more unwieldy to carry and everything like that.
Very fun to shoot it.
I mean, my VolQuartz and.22s suppressed.
Super fun to plink with kids.
That's all great.
But they have a time and a place for everything.
And I think we just got to simplify all of that.
Stop all the attacks on the small FFLs and the small manufacturers who have to fill out stuff that the big billion-dollar companies have to fill.
I mean, it's just nuts.
I think they've got to streamline the whole process and allow the Second Amendment to be the Second Amendment.
What do you think of General Flynn?
I think he's a great guy.
He's a friend of mine.
He has been for a long period of time.
I think he was incredibly wronged the last time around by the deep state and everything.
So I think he's a good guy.
I think he got screwed basically as much as pretty much anyone other than perhaps my father and maybe myself.
But I think he's a great American.
What are my views on cannabis?
I'm fairly libertarian on the thing.
I think the way I look at it, I'm not a big guy in that world or whatever.
It's not really my thing, but I'll say this.
I would imagine, in my opinion, if everyone who I knew that drank too much smoked weed instead, the world would probably be a better place.
And so, you know, I imagine there's ways to do that.
When you talk about the stuff like Colorado, it's like, you know, I don't know that the legalization stuff got rid of all of the problems.
I think some of the stuff got so regulated and so much it became, there was still like a black market, so I don't know that it solved a lot of the issues.
But, you know, I'm fairly libertarian on the issue.
Again, I do draw the line when you get to the really hard stuff, but I think being able to regulate it, being able to understand it, being able to tax it, being able to make sure Fentanyl isn't getting into these things.
That's a really big deal.
The fentanyl is a huge problem.
And again, if you had solved some of these problems and regulated properly, I think that's probably pretty important.
I think if people want it, it should be sort of really up to the people.
I think I'm for the federalism side of that.
Let the states decide.
Oh, hey, so breaking news, guys.
As to the question about the Eagles a few minutes ago, apparently the Eagles say they will visit the White House.
So that's a big deal.
I guess the Eagles are now going to the White House.
So I think that other stuff must have been fake news or one person said they won't.
I'm sure there'll be a couple people that don't want to go or whatever it is.
It's not worth it for them or, you know, they deal with the woke stuff.
But, you know, that's a big one.
So that just broke.
Right now.
Dark Knight saw your dad's EO on China and stopping them from buying up farmland.
We should do this for homes to stop the CCP from buying up neighborhoods.
I didn't know that that was, I knew that obviously doing the farmland, a lot of that strategic, both from a food supply standpoint, but also they're buying strategic large assets near our military bases that I'm sure are being used for spying, whatever it may be.
I did not know that they were doing it for homes.
Is that a thing?
I know Florida did a law about it, but I didn't realize it was like a prolific problem.
I mean, you know, I know, you know, obviously the black rocks of the world and stuff are doing that.
And I mean, obviously there's a lot of conspiracy theories about those things.
Probably not ill-founded.
You know, controlling that, I'm going to be curious to see what happens with all the stuff in California as they try to rebuild what's been burned down.
I imagine I've already saw they will...
Not be letting you build back what you had before, probably for equity or whatever other crap they're still going to be pushing.
But yeah, if China is buying a big portion of our housing stock, I think that's just as bad, if not worse, than big corporate doing that.
And they do that, then they keep the rents now, they suppress other people from being able to build or get in, then they jack up the rents and they control everything.
I'm not for anyone doing that in such a volume where they're sort of manipulating the markets and or getting that kind of control.
Yeah, that's BlackRock, Vanguard, etc.
You know, we got to make sure those things don't happen.
I had not heard about the CCP problem as it relates to housing.
We should do a little deep dive into that.
Jay Bree asks, have we abolished the education department yet?
I don't think it's been abolished yet.
I know Linda McMahon is in there working hard and trying to get rid of some of the nonsense that is there.
There's a lot of that.
So, you know, take it back to the states.
But, you know, sort of like they said before, you know, we've got to doge the state level, too.
I think just giving it back to the states, giving them the money that they'd be putting in otherwise could be just as problematic, certainly in the blue states where they're going to be pushing a woke ideology.
I think we have to figure it all out, eliminate all the nonsense, eliminate the fraud, the graft, the DEI garbage, and get back to actually educating our children.
We're failing miserably.
I think we're 40th in the country.
We did a show on that about 10 days ago about all the failures there.
So, you know, I'm all for abolishing it and getting it right.
We just got to make sure that whatever supplants it at the state level isn't perhaps even worse.
My grandbabies are scattered all over Red States.
They hunt fish.
We live on the water on the Space Coast.
We do Trump boat parades.
Well, thank you, Deb West.
I appreciate that.
You know, we need more Americans to actually love America.
Not exactly hard.
We need Greenland before China gets it.
Well, you know, listen, guys, I set the stage.
You know, I don't know what more I can do.
I set the stage for some of that.
You know, it seemed like there's a lot of interest.
It seems like, you know, Denmark now is, you know, they're committed to security and all this stuff.
And if they're part of NATO and NATO wants us to keep protecting them and, you know, maybe they have to allow us to, you know, have assets that would be strategically important closer to the enemy they want us to protect them from.
So it doesn't seem crazy, but I'm going to leave that with the guys at the State Department and my father.
And, you know, we can do that from there.
Let's see.
Wow.
It's going so fast.
Tony Jr., touch your nose if JFK Jr. is still with us.
Honestly, guys, I doubt it.
Yeah, I get it.
I doubt it.
I don't know.
I don't want to piss off the QAnon people.
I think we agree on both things.
I just legitimately, you know.
I doubt it.
I don't think he's secretly someone in the administration.
But you never know.
You never know.
I mean, I've been wrong before.
But I'm sort of focused on the stuff at hand, the things that we can actually effectuate.
So that's been more my focus than looking into some of that.
Though, as I've said, what is it?
Just about every conspiracy theory has proven to be a reality in time.
And so you never know.
I guess it's possible.
I doubt it, but I guess it's possible.
Do you think any snakes got into the admin?
Listen, there's always snakes, guys.
They're always going to get in.
They're always going to do some of these things.
There's plenty of people still in government that they haven't gotten rid of or haven't figured out that are going to be functioning that way.
They're going to try to slow roll the administration.
That isn't going to go away overnight.
We've got to figure it out.
We've got to root them out.
We've got to get people back into the office.
Hopefully that weeds out enough of those people.
I think that would be great.
But you're never going to get rid of all of it because that's the nature of Washington.
But hopefully with 12 years, we'll be able to get rid of most of it.
Hopefully we get rid of a bunch of it soon.
And just keep getting out the people who are bad actors, who are actively working to subvert the will of the people.
The duly elected president of the United States.
I think that would be a big one.
Shane America, can Joy Reid get a show here on Rumble?
LOL. Listen, she can.
That's what's great about Rumble.
It's actually a free speech platform.
Perhaps the most of anything I've seen out there.
I was, I think, the second verified user after Dan Bongino.
I met Chris Pawlowski back in 20. You know, got involved when I was getting canceled everywhere else.
So she can have a show here.
Now, getting people to watch it, that's a different story.
So, you know, you never know.
But she can have a show here.
We welcome that speech.
I'd love to have her on air somewhere because God knows she gives me a lot of good material to work with that makes my life so much easier.
So I want to appreciate her for that.
I want to thank her for that.
And we'll go from there.
So if she wants it, I welcome it.
You said JFK Jr. is dead.
How does that work?
Honestly, like I said, I haven't ever followed the Q thing all that much.
I was busy sort of...
When all of that was starting, I was busy fighting for my life, quite literally, in the Russia, Russia, Russia, ninth sense.
So I never followed too much of it.
But if they said it, I guess, That was one of the tenets of all of it in the beginning.
So, you know, maybe they're coming to that realization.
I'm not really sure.
But, you know, like I said, I think my father nailed it best when they're like, they asked him about, you know, QAnon and his thoughts.
He was like, well, aren't they really against pedophiles?
And if so, like, I'm for it.
And they went nuts.
I'm like, I don't know.
We can all agree on all these things.
We don't have to know about everything.
I'm usually pretty good, but there are definitely some of the conspiracy theories that people ask me and they're like, what do you think about, you know?
X, Y, Z, and I'm like, I really don't know.
They're like, oh, I saw that, the way you nodded.
The nod definitely means you know, and it's like, I'm like, guys, I really don't know.
I wish I had the time to chase, sort of go down every rabbit hole, but I don't.
So, who knows?
But listen, I think they've probably been right about a lot of things.
I think they definitely...
Definitely agree on the pedophile thing.
And hopefully with the Epstein report, a lot of those guys go to jail or at least get exposed.
And I think that'll be a really big deal.
Will we see Matt Gaetz somewhere in the new Trump administration?
Well, so like I said, I love Matt.
He's a good friend.
Been on the show a lot.
I've done a lot when he was running to help him.
I think he's a really smart guy.
I don't know, right?
At this point, I'm sort of out.
I worked for three months in the admin.
You know, when they were looking at him at DOJ, you know, did what we could, you know, pulled out because the libs went nuts.
It was a little bit too much stuff there.
So I don't know if he goes in somewhere else.
I think you could put him in anywhere.
I think he'd be really good and really smart.
But I don't actually know.
And at this point, I'm sort of out of it.
You know, come noon on January 20th, as that hit, That sort of was the end of my job and transition.
I don't get the Hunter Biden treatment.
I don't need the headache.
I did what I could to set my father up in this administration to keep the winning going.
I'm pretty happy with everything that they're doing right now.
But at this point, I don't know.
FAFO 888, when are you buying MSNBC? That was funny.
That was when the Elon meme started.
He's like, how much does it cost?
Can't be much.
I mean, the ratings are pretty...
The ratings are pretty weak, so you never know.
But that could be a fun one, if only for the liberal tears and the insanity that goes with it.
What are the conditions for the man wanting to marry your daughter, Kai?
She's 17, so leave her alone.
Kai is doing great.
She's awesome.
Crushing it on YouTube and, you know, on Insta and all that.
She's really doing an amazing job with that with golf.
I'm just really very proud of her sort of, you know, figuring out how to, you know, run a business at 17. So it's pretty cool watching her do that, but she's just a good kid.
Cares a lot about her grandpa, her golf buddy.
So it's been interesting to watch.
And as she sort of, you know, comes out and...
You know, not really politically, but just gets involved and joins the fight and happy to talk about the good things you got.
I think you guys all saw her at the RNC where she just called me after he was shot.
It was like, I'm speaking there, enough of this crap.
It was just awesome.
So I couldn't be more proud of my daughter, Kai.
She's just doing an awesome work.
Bro, you and your brothers are a major upgrade from Hunter.
Well, thank you.
I mean, it's not saying much, but I will take it.
I will take it.
Everyone keeps asking about Epstein.
I don't know, but I know that I saw the stuff this weekend.
Pam Bondi's got the files on her desk.
Hopefully, they're going to release a lot of that.
I'm really curious to see who are the other ones that aren't going to be implicated.
I think we know or that aren't implicated already.
I think we know a lot of the names already, and it's curious that there's never been accountability.
There's never been a question.
About those, but I look forward to seeing that.
DougSully412, did you lose weight?
No, I'm a fast...
I've been so busy.
Well, you know, between the campaign and this, and then, you know, after, you know, a year on the campaign trail, just getting back to work and getting back to everything.
Like, I have...
If I've lost weight, it's because I've lost muscle mass, unfortunately.
So, I got to get back in the gym.
I got to get consistent.
No excuses.
I hate excuses.
Especially when it comes to something as important as your own physical well-being.
I used to pride myself on being in great shape and being strong or whatever it may be.
I've got to get back in it.
If I've lost weight, it's basically lack of sleep.
I've got to get back in it.
I will make that happen.
I've just got to make that happen now.
Again, excuses are like assholes, folks.
Everyone's got one.
I got to get back in it, get after it hard, and I can't make any more excuses because, yeah, I feel weak right now.
That's never a good thing.
It's not anything you ever want to feel.
It sucks.
And, you know, everything's relative, so I'm still probably doing better than most for an old man.
But I'm going to get back on it right now.
Can you speak on chemtrails?
Not really.
You know, there's a lot out there.
Again, Just having been targeted so hard, I've been so fighting for the things that I'm just almost directly involved in, and God knows there was enough of that.
But if those things are going on, if it's real, whatever it may be, I just don't know enough about the details to talk all that intelligibly about them.
But again, if you've been watching for the last eight or nine years, I don't think anything would surprise you at this point.
Will your father broker a live PGA deal as the golf?
It's the fight between the PGA and the Live Golf Tour.
You know, listen, I don't know.
Obviously, he's functioning as the president right now.
But I think if there's someone else that can, you know, if there's someone that can help get parties together, he's pretty good at it.
Obviously, those are, you know, big economic interests.
I think those are really important.
So you never know.
You never know.
But if there's someone who could probably do it, it's probably him.
So I look forward to it.
Absmom, you look great.
Thank you.
Doug Sully, you look good.
Thank you.
Let's see.
You're not Letitia James, so there's that.
Yeah, I mean, listen, if you look at most of the Democrats on TV, the men are very clear.
They're either disgustingly morbidly obese, fat, and also weak, or they're disgustingly skinny, weak, and soy boys.
The women, usually just as bad.
It's a whole thing.
Regardless, everyone has to worry about themselves and take care of yourselves.
It's awesome to see the conservatives really get after that, understand about eating properly, hitting the gym, getting back at it.
I look forward to that.
Protein done, Junior Protein.
I know.
Trust me.
I try to eat as much as I can.
Try to get my, you know, 200 grams in a day.
But you got to also be lifting.
Otherwise, I just get fat.
So right now, I'm like skinny fat.
You know, I've lost a lot of muscle mass.
Probably replaced it with fat.
I got to get back in there and get after it.
And you guys are my motivation for that.
So you're hollow.
You look healthy.
Well, thank you.
I appreciate that cold plunge.
I used to do that, too.
I'd sort of hit that before the gym.
Work out hard, steam room afterwards, try to bang out whatever I could work-wise while I'm in there.
But I got to get back into it and we will make that happen.
But I think with that, guys, I got to get to a work dinner.
But thank you so much for tuning in.
Based on the questions, it seems you guys like the Q&A, so we'll bring that back a little bit more often, certainly as other things start popping.
