Hey guys, welcome to another huge episode of Triggered.
It's another day with another round of Democrat delusion and disasters.
They're once again back to their old habits of defending MS-13 gang members.
Yep, they're going all in, folks.
Let's make sure we defend MS-13.
What could possibly go wrong?
I guess they decided to make an alleged domestic abuser, MS-13 gang member, and illegal immigrant the face of the Democrat Party, the face of their resistance.
I mean, these people are truly stupid.
But they're doing it.
You're watching them do it.
Each and every day.
Plus, New York Attorney General Letitia James is now apparently at the center of a criminal referral.
Sent to the DOJ relating to mortgage fraud.
Remember, this is the person that tried to take away our family business.
She tried to claim that we were doing that.
The banks on the record saying, no, they love Trump.
They wanted to do more business with him.
They never missed a payment.
They paid back all the loans on time with interest.
She claimed nonstop, nonstop.
I think I've played the video on here dozens of times, but she claimed nonstop that...
No one is above the law.
That was during all of her witch hunt cases.
And now it appears she lied on a mortgage application to get a bank loan, accusing everyone of doing what she was doing herself.
I mean, don't forget that, eh?
Right? She said, apparently, that she was married to her father to get more favorable terms, it seems.
That's one of the things I read.
She said, apparently, that she got a mortgage on a four-unit, you know, multifamily housing, but it was actually five units, and I guess that changes the category for multifamily, so it would change the rate, whatever it may be.
She claimed that the home that she bought in Virginia would be her primary residence in Virginia.
How are you the Attorney General of the state of New York with your primary residence in Virginia?
I don't think it's her primary residence, folks.
But she signed to that.
So, typical Democrat.
Projection. Accuse everyone else of doing the things you're actually doing.
Also, Secretary of State Rubio just dismantled a global censorship scheme.
So we'll get into all of that and so much more.
And I'll also hop into the live chat at the end of this.
I'll take your questions live.

Guys, with that, let's get into some of the top headlines.
And we've got to begin with this one because I took it personally because I was, I guess, the opening witness.
I was the closing witness.
I was added on to my plethora of witnessdom.
We have to begin with the state of New York.
Or is it the state of Virginia?
Because it appears that New York Attorney General Letitia James wants both states to be her primary residence.
Because according to a criminal referral sent to the DOJ from the Federal Housing Agency by Bill Pulte, James listed a Virginia home more than 300 miles from her office in New York City as her principal residence.
But neighbors said this week that they've never even seen her.
Huh. I mean...
I was going to say that 300 miles feels like a long commute.
And if you've seen her, she's definitely not running there or taking a bike, so it seems like a long way from home.
Well, the home is now at the center of a federal criminal referral for mortgage fraud, amid growing evidence that James apparently falsified records to get more favorable loan rate when she purchased the residence in 2023.
It's interesting.
I mean, the Attorney General of New York, she was an Attorney General around then, too.
But I guess she wanted her primary residence to be in Virginia.
Hmm. According to the referral, to serve as New York AG, James is required by law to have her primary residence in the state of New York.
But her signed mortgage applications say it's Virginia.
So either James lied about her primary residence...
Or she's ineligible to serve as the New York State AG.
So which is it?
Because her residence isn't in Virginia and she is the AG.
I mean, seems a little bit aggressive.
I'm not sure how you pull that off.
But we're used to Democrat hypocrisy and projection.
All the things she said we were doing, and they're apparently doing.
And in recent remarks at Al Sharpton's National Action Conference, James seemed to see the writing on the wall.
This is truly...
A rant of epic proportions.
Seems like she's losing it.
Check this out.
I'll prosecute the now President Trump in his second term.
I just want to read a couple of things.
Criminal referral, then a response from James'office here in New York.
James, for both properties listed above, this deals with real estate now, going back decades really, appears to have falsified records in order to beat certain lending requirements and receive favorable loan terms.
Her office responded by saying the A.G. James is focused every single day in protecting New Yorkers.
Specialist administration weaponizes the federal government against the rule of law and the Constitution.
She will not be intimidated by bullies no matter who they are.
The issue here is what property she owned and whether or not she owned it, whether or not she was married, and whether or not her father was involved in all this.
Yikes. I gotta get to the live chat for one second.
Native F baby.
Don Jr. has gotten very sexy over the years.
Is it really him or a clone?
Well, it's really me.
I apparently have aging well or just filling in finally after 47 years.
So I hate to interrupt, but, you know, we gotta see some of those comments.
Occasionally, I avoid the insane stuff as best I can, but that one I had to highlight because I'm a Trump and that's what we do.
Anyway, it doesn't stop there for James.
Separate documents also indicate that she listed her father...
As her husband.
Huh. Seems like a trend in the Democrat Party.
Father, husband, brothers, our husbands.
You know, little Ilhan Omar action.
But she listed her father as her husband.
And there's also growing evidence that James is directly wrapped up in a shady campaign finance dealings of ActBlue and so-called ghost donors.
You know, those from unnamed foreign sources.
And we're told there'll be much more to come.
On all of this, from all the people that are writing these things, because they've just started digging.
But the problems for Democrats don't stop there, because we apparently have found the new face of Democrat anti-Trump resistance.
Kilimar Abrego Garcia.
Now, if you recall, Abrego Garcia is 29. Was deported from Maryland to El Salvador by the Trump administration on March 15th over connections to the violent MS-13 gang.
And the fact that he's in the country illegally.
Minor details, but like, you know, hey, you know, they want to bend the rules for criminals, but not Americans, it seems.
And Democrats apparently think deporting him is a bad thing.
And not only was he here in the country illegally, not only did he have MS-13 gang ties, But his wife accused him of violently beating her multiple times in a 2021 court filing,
exclusively obtained by the Daily Mail.
And yet Democrats are still going all in to protect him.
He's a great guy.
We gotta save him.
It doesn't sound like it.
I don't know.
I'm not willing to take my chances that he's a great guy.
Are you?
And what's Democrats' response, guys, to all of this?
You know, we call him out and...
They want to go to El Salvador to bring him back.
Senator Chris Van Halen apparently is headed up this effort.
Because why try to help your own American citizens when you can build goodwill, strong relationships with MS-13?
Right, guys?
I mean, it seems like the Democrats ran out of Americans that actually can stomach any of their crap, so they're branching out to Venezuelan...
And other violent gang members, alleged wife beaters.
You can't make it up.
You can't make it up.
Well, should we really fight on this?
Should we fight more ordinary people?
This should be Democrats' hill to die on.
I mean, I know James is getting a little long in the tooth.
He's getting a little old.
I think he was probably a fairly solid Democrat operator for a while, but- And he was actually calling out some of their nonsense during the election.
But apparently, they either got to him, they made him capitulate, or he's lost it.
I can't tell, but you can't make this up.
You watch it, let me know what you actually think is happening.
Well, should we really fight on this turf?
Or should we fight more on ordinary people?
This we should fight out.
You can't pivot to an economic issue.
Wait a minute.
This is why we think we're a country.
And if they do this to him, it's an old saying, first they came for, you know, whatever, and then whatever, and then they came for me.
You know why you remember that saying?
Because there's wisdom in it.
There's real wisdom in it.
And history has taught us that.
First they came for him, and then we're gonna say no right, Dad.
We gotta keep fighting this.
I think this is worthy of being on the top agenda of things that we're gonna fight over, is get this guy back home.
I completely agree, and...
Shah NLF says Junior is funny.
Honestly, I don't think I'm funny.
I'm just not an imbecile.
I'm able to, like, look at the positions that Democrats are taking.
By the way, I wish it was funny.
It's scary.
They're insane.
And they're going all in.
They don't even understand wrong from right even a little bit anymore.
Or they couldn't care less.
Both equally scary.
If calling it out is funny, I mean, it is laughable.
But the fact that, like, they're serious.
And if they gain power or they won the midterms, like, this is the agenda that they'd be pushing.
Meanwhile, where were Carville and the Democrats when Rachel Moran's mom...
Patty Morin was at the White House this week begging the regime media to simply tell the truth about the brutal murder of her daughter by an illegal immigrant.
Where were they?
Why were they so silent?
Where's the outrage for her?
Where's the non-stop coverage demanding justice for American victims?
It seems the only people the Democrats want anything for, and it ain't justice because justice is where they're going in El Salvador, It's perpetual victimhood.
It's boosting these radical, violent, drug-dealing, murderous, rapist thugs, protecting them at all costs.
Who cares about your kids?
Who cares about your family?
Who cares about your cities and your towns?
That's the Democrat mantra these days.
It tells you everything you need to know about their priorities.
They're way out of whack, folks.
They care more about creating a circus.
And honestly, it's freaking disgusting.
But gang members aren't the only heroes of the left.
They also have a sick affinity for murderers who kill healthcare CEOs.
Don't believe me?
Taylor Lawrence, remember that whack job?
Well, she was at one of the bigger papers in the country and everything like that.
She appeared on Sean Hannity last night, where she appeared to do just that.
Check it out.
Do you condemn that?
Can you take a moral stand and condemn that?
What I condemn is the violence of our system, and I would love for you to acknowledge that.
I'm not asking you to condemn the system.
Do you, Taylor, do you condemn people that call for assassination?
Gosh, you're going to ask if I condemn Hamas next.
This is crazy.
I would love for you to acknowledge what I'm actually saying, Sean, and we seem to be talking
No, I hear you loud and clear.
Because of cost.
We need to talk about this.
70% of Americans, by the way, believe that the insurance company practices are responsible in part for Thompson's debt.
These are signs of an unhealthy...
You want to put a rationalization.
I am saying anybody that wants to assassinate any innocent person is wrong.
I don't care if it's a Democrat or Republican or a father or a husband.
And I speak...
That is a simple truth that anyone with a heart would easily say on national TV that you're having a hard time with.
If you want to prevent further deaths and you don't want gun violence in the street, which I think we both are aligned in wanting, right?
We want peace.
We do not want violence in this country, no matter what side of the political aisle it's coming from.
You need to understand motives and you need to understand the ideology that people have.
And that is what my job is.
Why don't you first start with the basics?
I'm going to help you out.
Why don't you first condemn those that want to be involved in assassination and stop talking about them being handsome and smart and intelligent?
I didn't say that I believe that.
I am describing his supporters who do believe that, and I think it's very important.
Just take a moment to digest that, right?
Leftists are finding ways to sympathize with a guy charged with murder because they hate the healthcare system while they try to attack us for wanting Gang members out of the country.
Don't get me wrong, guys.
I'm no fan of a lot of the insurance companies.
I've been debanked.
I've been de-insured.
I've gone through all of it.
I get it.
Doesn't mean I'm going to condone murder.
Doesn't mean I'm going to glorify one of these things.
I'd like to maybe try to fix those systems.
I know my father's administration is trying to do that.
These guys are making a deity of a guy that seemingly murdered a guy.
Because he didn't like what was going on in an industry.
Now the good news is, my father is focusing on actually building a better America.
Today, he had Italian Prime Minister Maloney in the Oval Office to move forward on major trade deals.
He also made clear that despite all the media hysteria, prices are actually coming down.
And investment into America is up.
The major things are going down.
Oil is great.
Oil is way ahead of schedule.
And that's because of our policies.
But oil is down into the $60, $65 range now per barrel.
And I told you, in certain states, we have less than $2 for gasoline.
And food is down.
Groceries, as we call it, are down.
Other than interest rates, everything's down.
Interest rates are pretty flat.
It's not that they're up, but we should be better than flat.
If he would lower the interest rate, I think it would have a good impact on that, too.
But the costs are down.
We have very little inflation.
I would say we have essentially no inflation.
Hard to have inflation when oil goes down and oil goes down.
When Biden came in, oil went through the roof.
That's what caused our problem.
That and his very dumb spending.
When the oil prices go down, and they have gone down a lot.
We've gotten it down really good.
We've opened it up and we've gotten them down.
And that means that people driving cars are going to be paying $2 and $2.50 instead of $4.50.
And, you know, even at the end, they tried just for the purpose of the election to get it down.
But they had really lost that sucker.
That was really-- it was not good.
If they had won, oil right now would be at $7 or $8 because of their policy.
And we're gonna be at about $2.
Could be even a little bit less than that.
And you're starting to see it.
Just think about the contrast here, guys.
One party is running interference for literal violent criminals.
The other, the Republican Party, is on a mission to save America's workers.
It really is.
America first versus America last.
And we're seeing that at home.
We're seeing it abroad.
Because also this week, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, who joined the show about 10 days ago, announced that he's shutting down the so-called Global Engagement Center at the State Department.
Now, that was a $50 million a year taxpayer-funded censorship office.
That's what they did.
That the last administration used to silence Americans.
To label conservative voices as disinformation and target news outlets like the Federalist and the Daily Wire by assigning them actual threat tags to get them deplatformed.
I mean, think about that.
The U.S. government was spending $50 million a year to take...
Mainstream conservative publications and basically say it's disinformation and they should be deplatformed.
Rubio explained in a statement, quote, under the previous administration, this office spent millions of dollars to actively silence and censor the voices of Americans.
They were supposed to be actually serving.
This is antithetical to the very principles we should be upholding and inconceivable it was taking place in America.
Now, I don't know if it was inconceivable that was taking place in America under the Biden regime and under Democrat control.
I mean, I think that's actually probably pretty much on par for everything that they've done.
But him dismantling this program is a huge and historic step.
We're draining the swamp piece by piece.
We're getting things done.
So keep fighting, keep sharing the truth, and don't stop getting this message out.
So I'm going to get to the questions in just a moment, guys.
But first, an important message that could affect your health care.
Joe Biden's so-called Inflation Reduction Act is a disaster for America's seniors, okay?
Democrats snuck in a provision to raid Medicare and fund green energy giveaways for their special interest donors, okay?
The people that are always yelling about protecting it, they don't want to protect it.
That's almost a soundbite, right?
It's nonsense.
But it gets worse.
The Biden pill penalty is undermining the development of life-saving pills.
We've already seen a 70% drop in development of pill-based treatments since 2021.
The Biden pill penalty is a threat to our fight against everything from cancer to diabetes.
Joe Biden broke Medicare, but President Trump can fix it.
Tell Congress to end the Biden pill penalty.
Take action.
And go to seniors4, the number 4, seniors4bettercare.com.
Again, that's the number 4, seniors4bettercare.com.
And now, guys, let's take a look at the live chat.
Hey, Junior, please help Albania defeat Soros' corruption by removing...
Oh, slide that back up, guys.
What's going on?
By removing persona non grata by blinking to opposition.
Okay, I don't know anything about that.
I'll look into it.
I'm out of the government.
I'm out of the administration.
I've got to be careful how I get involved.
I don't get the Hunter Biden treatment.
So if it's something, if I figure it out, I can try to highlight it perhaps on the show and maybe other people watch that and maybe it gets out there or generates an article like some of the things I say.
So that could be a good one.
I saw a couple of people commenting about gas prices.
They're waiting for gas prices to go.
I don't know about you guys, but I know oil hit $60 a barrel for the first time in a long time, like 10 days ago.
When I'm filling up my truck, I notice it's a lot cheaper down here, and I have a big engine in this thing.
I use the 93 octane, but I know 87 was down into the twos in Florida, which is quite low.
I've seen that at the pump.
A couple of people commenting, they saw...
That it was down with them, too.
So I think, generally speaking, it's down that may have not totally gotten into the system yet.
You know, they're putting the stuff that's been through processing anything.
Thoughts on the SAVE Act?
Listen, I think it's a no-brainer.
I mean, the Democrats are out there openly saying, you know, they want illegal immigrants to be able to vote.
They don't want ID.
They're coming up with all these lies, pretending that it's too complicated.
Like, every soundbite they've come back, like, there's so much.
I've seen it on X and on Truth.
People are like, that's a lie.
I mean, look at Mike Lee.
I think Mike Lee, probably, Senator Mike Lee from Utah, he had a bunch of, it's $2.50 in Massachusetts.
Wow, that's really cheap.
Mike Lee pointed out all the lies that these guys were putting, and literally direct quotes from the thing.
So, no, it's not going to stop this.
No, it's not going to stop that.
But the Democrats, they will do anything they can to try to make sure that illegals can vote.
Without ID, they can get other people to vote for other people that may be registered but may not be voting.
Et cetera, et cetera.
So, as usual, they will lie about those things.
But, you know, it's nonsense.
I think it's a no-brainer.
We need election integrity.
I think this is one of those things, even a bunch of Democrats, not necessarily in the House and Congress because they're, you know, they're beholden to Soros money, but a bunch of people.
In America that are otherwise Democrats, you know, believe that, yeah, only Americans should be voting it.
There should be ID.
It's not that hard.
Every time they do that, they say it's racist.
And then you speak to the people who fit in the racial demographics that are, you know, and you're like, no, yeah, we're not incapable of getting ID.
It's pretty easy to do.
Everyone has it.
Here's mine.
Like, it's pretty crazy.
Let's see.
369 still in Pennsylvania.
That seems pretty high relative to everything I've seen.
Well, okay, it's over Ford, California.
Of course it is, because you've got all your environmental penalties and stuff like that.
California actually has nothing to do with the price of gas.
It has to do with the tax that California puts on its citizens for doing basic stuff.
Love you, Junior.
Thanks, Booker T. Appreciate that.
Can that be right about Pennsylvania?
I don't know.
Anyone else from Pennsylvania?
That seems really high.
Like I said, wow.
Bio Spirit of the West, $5.99 in California.
By the way, I always say like, hey, you know, I'm pretty blessed.
So, you know, I may not necessarily change my habits with the price of oil and gas.
I drive a, you know, a truck that has a large engine in it.
And so, you know, mine's a three-figure fill-up almost no matter what.
But at six bucks a gallon, that's pretty aggressive.
Don Jr., what are some of your favorite U.S. presidents?
Roosevelt was a badass, meaning Theodore Roosevelt.
Reagan was great.
Obviously, Donald J. Trump has to be up there.
I mean, those would probably be...
Roosevelt, because I love just...
He was such a badass, right?
Like, just actually got shot giving a speech and kept...
Giving the speech at a little different times.
Although, you know, Trump was maybe the one who kept going.
He came back and fought.
He didn't continue on with the speech, but I understand that.
It's a little different times.
And all of his outdoor stuff, right?
So the outdoor exploits and just, you know, the adventure side of him is what gets me.
So, you know, Roosevelt, Reagan.
Yeah, Reagan was against tariffs, but Reagan was also for amnesty.
So not everyone's perfect, right?
So, Stephen Biz.
I'm not saying that anyone's perfect.
I'm just saying there are guys that are certainly better than others.
There are disasters.
I mean, Biden.
Well, you know, there's a lot.
I mean, I think Obama, while I think he was very charismatic, so much discord created so much of the strife that we see.
Right now, and I think that's very much on purpose.
I think Jimmy Carter was a lovely man and a great humanitarian, also not the sharpest tool in the shed and a terrible president.
So, you know, you can take the good and the bad.
FDR was a disaster because he created so many of the systems that gave us, you know, the Communist Party that is today's Democrat Party.
Just a silly question to bring some joy.
If you were to make a meme coin, what would you name it?
I don't know, man.
I've sort of stayed away from the meme coin stuff.
You know, my son plays around with that, and he's sort of actually learned a lot about crypto in it.
So I think it's been a great educational tool for that.
I've sort of stayed away from it.
I'm, you know, sort of, you know, Bitcoin, ETH, you know, that kind of stuff.
A little bit more like that.
The stable coins that we're doing with World Liberty, you know, really focused on that right now.
So, you know, it feels like, I think the meme coin was like a phase.
it doesn't feel like it's as much.
And maybe it comes back, but it almost feels a little bit like the NFT cycle where it was like the biggest thing in the world and then stuff's trading at crazy numbers.
And then that sort of disappeared.
And people were like, well, why were we buying digital art that someone could basically take a screenshot
I think it was a great way for people to get into crypto, to learn about it, to learn about liquidity, to understand how those things work.
So as long as you weren't sort of, you know, mortgaging your house while playing with it.
You know, I think my son got one of the greatest educations.
In, you know, in basic business, in liquidity, in crypto, you know, by doing the meme coin stuff and playing with that for the last few years.
You got into, you know, sort of early.
But, you know, I have the huge coin.
Maybe. You never know.
But, yeah, so I got too many other things that I'm focused on right now in crypto.
You know, again, world liberty, what we're doing with American Bitcoin, all that kind of stuff in terms of, you know, I'm just very excited about that stuff.
We're going to have a lot of fun with that.
I should actually have those guys on here, both separately, the World Liberty guys as well as the American Bitcoin guys.
I think that'll be really cool.
One's more like mining-based, teaching you about the other side of that.
The other guys, it's about sort of changing the way we look at financial markets and the banking sector.
So super excited about it.
So yeah, I haven't, nor would I right now.
If you see someone like...
I know a couple of people did it, actually.
I guess they did it a little well for a little while until they found out I actually had nothing to do with it.
But no, I don't have a Don Jr. coin at all.
Political coin, maybe.
Advertise yourself.
See the true support behind you.
Yeah, I saw a bunch of that.
There were some cool ones that were going that were just sort of super MAGA coins.
And it was cool to see people, you know, again, as long as you're playing with money, you can afford to lose or whatever.
Because it was like you're just buying into a movement.
And, like, you know, that's what I sort of said even, you know, For my son, when he was playing with a couple bucks here and there, in the meme coin stuff, it was cool to see it because all of a sudden, when you actually have a couple bucks vested, it's like when you bet on a sports game.
All of a sudden, you're just paying attention a lot more.
And so when you have a couple bucks at risk, all of a sudden, you're watching, you're reading, you're educating yourself.
It just changes the way you look at it.
You become much less passive, and it feels like you learn the game a lot better.
So there is definitely something to be said about that.
What music do you listen to, Junior?
That's Char.
I listen to a little bit of everything.
I have sort of eclectic taste from a lot of classic rock, some of the alt rock, some more like 80s, 90s hair bands, all of that stuff.
But there's all sorts of cool stuff.
I mean, there's cool, you know, hell, there's cool electric music.
I like some classical.
Yeah, like my mixes are like...
It's funny.
You know, friends or whatever, if I have them in the car, they're like, what the hell just happened?
How do you go from Metallica to this?
And I was like, well, it's just on a...
It's just a random mix, but I like everything.
So I have pretty eclectic tastes when it comes to that.
Booger, how did you get to know Devin Lorette?
Well, it's funny.
So Devin's a great arm wrestler.
He's one of the best arm wrestlers in the world.
Goes very viral, has a huge following, and...
Him and his kids also really good at that Guns N' Roses.
That's right.
That's definitely a top dog.
Although whatever happened to Axl Rose in the last few years, he just like, he became like, it seems like everything that he would have hated when he was good in making music, but sort of wild.
But yeah, I got to know Devin through my buddy Josh Jorgensen, who's Black Tip H. If you guys are fishing aficionados, you'd know who that is.
He's got one of the biggest, not maybe the biggest, fishing YouTube channel out there.
Josh lives down here by me.
We started fishing together just as friends, not for content or anything like that, years ago.
Just a great human being, super good guy, incredible fisherman.
And I guess he invited Devin to come down and he invited me to go along with those guys.
And when we went out, we were catching big sharks and goliath grouper to see.
As strong Devin really was.
And by the way, the guy is super strong.
Not going to lie, but those Goliaths still worked us all over.
So it was a fun episode if you want to go check that out on Josh's.
It's Black Tip H, like Black Tip Shark.
Black Tip H, his YouTube channel.
So yeah, that's how I got to know Devin.
He's a super good dude.
Don, does it look like...
He has lost weight.
No, I haven't.
Guys, I'm actually heavy.
I've been on the road so much that it's been brutal.
So I'm like 195 right now.
I mean, I've been more.
I break 200 sometimes.
When I break 200, I look like a fat slob.
I should probably be about 185.
At 180, it's pretty solid.
What's interesting is at 180, I feel like my body looks a lot better, but my face gets too emaciated.
So there is a happy medium.
This next, like, man, I think I'm on the road straight for like six weeks.
It's absolutely brutal.
So I'm going to have to do this from random places and whatnot.
But I am, yeah, I got to lose a little bit of weight.
I got to get back in the gym, start lifting a little bit more.
I've been so inconsistent.
And consistency with that stuff is everything.
You know, I always yell at my son, who is actually getting super into working out.
And Donnie's like, he's like a...
Monster, his shoulders are like this.
I'm like, he got whatever genes.
I was always good at endurance and cardio and that kind of stuff.
You always want what you don't have.
I was strong, but I could never get jacked or big.
He's hitting it pretty hard.
I'm yelling at him.
He's doing it.
I'm not really practicing what I preach right now.
I've got to get back at it.
I will.
It's actually something I love doing.
Yeah, I'm 195 at 6'1", but I'm sort of long and lanky-ish.
I get all my weight in my gut, so it kind of sucks, but we'll see.
But I am going to get back on it.
Do steroids.
Eh, not my thing, man.
Listen, there's not a pill for everything, guys.
Some things we definitely get a little lazy about, but taking care of yourself probably shouldn't be one of them.
But yeah, no, I love lifting.
I love working out.
I just got to get back into it.
Ooh. Bear Wave.
What's your favorite shotgun competition?
Ooh. Well, I mean, listen, I love shooting clays.
I'm probably best overall at skeet.
It just sort of lines up with the way I shoot best.
So, like, in a competition, I'm probably like a mid-90s type skeet shooter.
So, that's pretty good for someone who doesn't shoot for, you know.
I mean, I shoot a lot, I guess, but not...
Not in a discipline.
Although, since I moved to Florida, there's a lot more sporting clays, a lot less skeet.
So I'm probably not there right now.
I love that.
I mean, I love like ZZ Birds and some of the simulated pigeon shoots.
Box pigeons is pretty awesome, actually.
It's super fun.
But that is not a PC answer, and that gets people going crazy.
So I love that kind of stuff.
And my biggest thing, I just love hunting.
And again, it's not about the kill.
It's just about being out there.
It's being with friends.
It's being in nature.
So, you know, I do a lot of quail hunting and stuff like that down here.
So not necessarily a shotgun, you know, discipline for like shooting, but it's, you know, it's a hunting discipline that I really love.
And so that is, those are the ones.
Speaking of shotguns, what's your favorite affordable model?
Okay, well, it depends what you want to do.
Listen, you know, I love, you know, The Browning A5s, you know, if you're going to go like an autoloader, that's a great gun.
I shoot a lot for, like, waterfowl.
I like the Benelli Super Black Eagles.
The Benelli Super Sport for, like, clays.
You know, not cheap, but, you know, not unreasonable.
Some of the Mossbergs, actually, if you want to go cheap, but super reliable and good, and, you know, the Mossbergs are great.
If you get into the expensive shotguns.
And, by the way, if you want to get into...
Sort of over-unders and go a little bit more expensive just because of the nature.
You got two barrels.
It's more expensive, but a little bit more of a hand-me-down to kids.
Probably a Browning Satori.
That's what I got Donnie and Spencer for their first nice shotguns.
Not crazy expensive, but still one of those things that's going to last forever and be an awesome hand-me-down.
The Browning Satori is pretty awesome for that.
If you want to get more expensive, Higher-end clays guns.
Now you're talking, you know, $10,000 plus.
Really love my Krieghoff.
Love my Blazer F3.
That's a badass gun.
Sort of interchangeable barrel, so you can have sort of one battery and then shoot, you know, 410, 28, 12, 20 out of the same gun with a change of barrel.
So, you know, I love that kind of setup.
So, yeah, I like it all, man.
I just like being out there.
Hunting is fun, clears your head.
Being outside in the fields or in the mountains, pursuit of happiness, 100%.
I agree with that.
RFK is into beef tallow.
I agree.
And ironically, interestingly enough, when I grew up and spent my summers in sort of what was then communist Czechoslovakia, That's what we cooked with.
I mean, they put that on bread and everything, like a little beef tallow and salt.
So I'm glad to see it making a comeback.
Ironically, that one of the poorer nations in the world at that time, at least of sort of the developed world, was using what we're all going back to.
And shockingly, industrial lubricants, or what they were intended for, are not actually the best way to do it.
Someone said something about Kai being a super sweet girl.
That's my oldest daughter.
She's great.
That's the golfer.
She's going pretty viral with her YouTube channel.
She's really doing good stuff.
I'm super psyched to see it.
Don Jr., read your older book, Triggered.
It was a great book.
Thank you, Debbie F. I appreciate that.
Yeah, Triggered was my first book.
I then wrote Liberal Privilege in 2020.
Actually working on another one right now.
So hopefully...
Hopefully have something out there.
Maybe this fall, maybe a little bit later.
It just sort of depends.
You want to get it out for like a midterm cycle so people really see what's going on or just do it beforehand.
But I'm in the process of working on that.
I have a couple sort of baseline chapters already going.
So working on the third book right now.
So I'm super excited about that.
RRRMLR. Akaius Precious, thank you.
I love your kids.
Crystal LaRosa, thank you so much.
Getting tired of defending Trump, no arrests.
Listen, guys, you know, well, you know, hopefully it seems like they're starting with Tish James doing these things.
Like, it doesn't just work that way.
Like, someone takes power and you get arrested.
Like, you arrest the other side.
I mean, you got to go after the things that are there.
You got to give them time to actually do these cases.
If you don't do it the right way, it makes it harder to actually get these things done.
So, you know, I'm outside.
I'm not involved.
I don't know anything about it.
But, you know, I think people do want to see consequences for those who are breaking the law.
But there's a lot we've got to fix after four years.
So, Kai looks like you, Junior.
I'll take that as a compliment.
She's a beautiful girl.
Junior, California has imposed an 11% firearms, sex exercise, guns and ammo.
I'm an FFL.
It's BS.
What they're doing to the Second Amendment.
Yeah, I mean, that's the problem with some of the state stuff, right?
They're going to do that.
And I know, you know, by the way, speaking of shotguns, Parazzi shotguns, I know Parazzi USA is based out in California, which is sort of shocking to me.
They make some incredible shotguns.
I was with some of those guys two weeks ago.
Actually, yesterday for a couple hours, I was with the guys from Smith& West, and they're doing my field ethos, the outdoor brand that I have, the high-end print magazine, multimedia.
If you haven't seen that, go to fieldethos.com.
Check that out.
Working with the guys on Smith& Wesson, doing a sort of a cool performance center classic gun, a Model 36, like the little J-frame revolver for a carry gun.
So all the look and feel of this classic kind of gun, but performance center trigger job and just turning an old-school revolver into a perfect fighting gun.
Super psyched about that.
So I was with the guys from Smith& Wesson and Lipsy's yesterday.
And then they brought a bunch of the other cool stuff that they're working on.
And a bunch of...
Actually, Smith& Wesson came out with a bunch of cool stuff.
This little mini.380 carry gun that's like so much smaller than even a Glock 43, but just stays on target, shoots so great.
A bunch of really cool stuff.
So super excited about that.
So I'll probably post that on Field Ethos soon enough.
Maybe I'll have to get those guys up here on that.
You guys, are enough people into the gun content if I did that, or is it too niche for this demo?
Hit me in the live chat.
Would you want me to do an entire show on that, or is it more like, hey, if you have a question, I answer it?
But I'm just sort of curious to see what you think there.
What's your number of wish for America, if it could be anything?
I want us to be prosperous.
I want us to be free.
I want to get away from the communism trap that we've been sucked into for so long.
And so that doesn't happen overnight.
That's not going to happen immediately.
But we do have to take sometimes some short-term pain for the long-term gain.
It seems like a lot of people would like the gun content.
Two-way is good.
Okay, Dapper Day of Two-Niche.
I get that.
Listen, we've got to do a lot of shows.
So maybe we've got to do some more of that, but maybe not too much.
But it seems that was the only negative I saw in the gun content.
So maybe we'll start including some of that on here or at least make it a segment of the show.
People can see what we're doing, at least on the field ethos side of things.
The gun topic doesn't interest you.
I got you.
What is the show that I haven't done yet or that I'm not touching on?
Maybe I'm missing that's a big one for the audience.
And again, this is where the trolls are going to chime in.
There's going to be a lot of nonsense here, but I'm actually curious to see if there's something that I'm missing.
But it does seem like the vast majority actually want some gun stuff.
Let's see.
What's my favorite meme?
Ooh. Guys, you know, the memes, they always evolve.
So there's a bunch of good ones.
Just go to my Instagram page.
Actually, I've been so busy, I haven't even been on Instagram that much.
So I'm getting a little slacky in my memes.
I just noticed I only posted like three times in the last three weeks.
So four times in the last two weeks or whatever it was.
So I got to get back out there a little bit more.
I've seen Ramble Rant.
Trump's had his highest approval rating since the inauguration.
I think people get it.
Despite the hysteria, they're watching the Dems take the wrong sides.
They're really against Doge because they hate Elon because apparently he's trying to steal your information because he's only worth $400 billion and definitely needs to steal some dude making $30,000 living in mom's basement, their information.
I don't think people are buying that.
I think people should be more concerned about...
The fact that they don't want to investigate what's clearly fraud and abuse, that tells you everything that you need to know.
So is Cash a traitor?
Are you crazy?
Cash is a very close friend of mine.
I think he'll do an incredible job in there, but I don't think none of this happens immediately.
So no, Cash.
Cash is not that.
That's just ridiculous.
So I assume that's a troll, but I saw something about reciprocity.
Yes, would love to get concealed carry reciprocity.
But again, some of that's state by state, some of that's this, that, and the other.
So there's a lot of ways to do that.
You've got to look at your states.
There's a couple states that if you have a license there, you can carry it in a lot of other states.
But if you're not the primary resident of those states, you may not be able to do it.
So you've got to check your laws because, again, it's probably not going to be a problem in a red state, but in a blue state, they'll throw you in jail.
Hi, Don Jr.
What can President Trump do to do with the rogue Biden appointee leftovers?
They're working on that.
The office of PPO, that's personnel.
They are doing what they can for some of that, but some of these places are permanent positions.
They definitely stack them rapidly.
They're trying to get rid of a bunch of the ones that were just placed recently because if you do it within a certain amount of time...
You know, you can get rid of them.
But then, of course, one of these activist leftist judges goes after the people and tries to make it say you can't actually do that.
So, you know, the usual shenanigans are happening.
Sowing Patriot 98. Bring on Cam Haynes.
Cameron Haynes.
That'd be a good one.
Cam's a good friend.
He's a super good guy.
Great athlete.
Great bowhunter.
Friend of mine.
That's a good one.
Maybe we've got to get Cam on here sometime.
That's someone who I know well who hasn't been on the show.
He's done a bunch of campaign events with me.
We flew all around the country.
Him, me, and Nugent.
Probably the most fun I had in 2020 was like four days on the road with Cam and Ted Nugent.
It was kind of wild.
So I had a good time with that.
So that could be a good one.
Donald Trump Jr. on Rumble.
This is fire.
Well, thank you.
Let's see.
Okay, everyone's asking me about a name for a meme coin.
I'm not doing one, so I don't want to put one out there because then they'll clip it in a way that makes it look like I'm doing one and pretending that it is or I'm not.
So I don't know what it would be.
I've got to think about these things a little bit, guys.
I think I have great meme genius.
As many have said, I'm a general in the meme wars.
More like Patton, less like Millie.
But yeah, so I don't know.
But you've got to think about these things for a little bit.
They don't just, you know, it doesn't almost just appear.
Sometimes they do.
Sometimes the good ones just appear.
Have you acquired any new pets to your family?
Well, we have a lot between...
Yeah, we had a lot of pets in the family.
Rabbits, dogs, a lot of dogs.
Nothing all that new.
And I'm on the road so much, it's hard for me to have...
You know, a full-time pet because I just don't think it's right.
But definitely love my dogs.
It's hard to find people to party with on your birthday.
You're 1231 also.
Well, no, it's easy to find people who will go out on 1231.
That's New Year's Eve, for those of you who didn't know.
So that's my birthday.
It was great when you were a kid because everyone always went out.
The problem is as you get older, as you get older, You realize that New Year's Eve is like amateur night.
Like everyone who shouldn't be out or doesn't ever go out goes out on New Year's Eve.
And so it actually ends up being a lot less fun than it should.
Someone talked about Stranglehold.
Yes, that's...
Well, Stranglehold, Ted Nugent, that's the opening and closing theme song of Triggered Podcast.
I figured Ted is a good buddy, so it's one of the few guys who's not going to sue me for using his music to open up.
That's my walkout theme song usually when I give speeches somewhere.
One of the great sort of guitar riffs of all time.
Fred Bear was a great band.
Also a great song by Nugent.
Great bowhunter.
Great American.
That's a guy that I wish I could have gone hunting with.
I missed that window.
He passed away when I was too young and before I could really...
had a way to get there.
But Ted speaks incredibly highly of him.
Let's see.
Please talk to your dad about a plan for student loans.
The amortization is a total scam.
Well, the whole student loan thing is a total scam, right?
I don't think Barron has a coin.
What do you think about his coin?
I don't think he has an official coin.
I'd probably know about it.
I'm sure that, again, there's a lot of these guys doing these things as though they are, and that was probably someone who's trying to profit off of it.
Now, I don't think Barron has a coin.
But, yeah, the student loan thing is ridiculous.
Louis Giamman Jones just got indicted.
Is that like breaking news?
I thought he was already indicted, but still waiting trial.
But maybe I'm wrong and haven't been paying attention.
I know there was that shooting today at FSU.
Terrible trying to figure out what's going on with that yet.
So I seem to be dominating most of the news coverage today.
Who's your favorite football team?
Ooh, I mean...
As much as I escaped from the People's Republic of New York, it's still probably the Giants, just because that's kind of what I grew up watching football-wise.
But I only watch a couple games a year at this point.
I'm always so busy, and frankly, football season's right in the middle of hunting season, so I'd rather be out in the woods than on a couch, generally speaking.
Is Barron a coding genius?
I'm not sure.
I spoke to Barron earlier today.
I don't know that he does much coding.
Are all the Trumps coding geniuses?
I don't think anyone, frankly, is a coding genius.
I don't know that any of us really do any coding.
So, Packers, Wisconsin lady here.
Crystal, that's a great choice.
You probably like the Brett Favre interview we did two weeks ago.
Brett's a great guy.
Let's see.
Am I a hockey fan?
Yeah, hockey was probably the number.
I'm a Rangers fan for that, too.
Although I've been going to more Panthers games these days because they're close and they're here.
And it was pretty funny when they went up to the White House.
Just a lot of good people in that.
That was actually sort of an interesting one.
I went to the Stanley Cup last year.
It was Game 5 of the finals.
So they didn't win it that night, but they did end up winning it.
And I sort of knew the election was going to be pretty good when I'm just walking around.
You know, that's closer to Miami and everything like that.
Definitely. It used to be a heavy blue area, and I'm just walking around, just getting high fives and taking selfies.
People were walking by Dan Marino to take selfies with me.
It was sort of amazing.
I was like, you know what?
Something's going on here.
People are getting it.
Do I like Middle Eastern food?
Yes, I love Middle Eastern food.
I love Lebanese food.
It's definitely one of my favorites.
I like a lot of Middle Eastern food, but Lebanese food is...
Definitely up there for me.
Hugh, Janice, 4269, Butterboobs.
Can't you have both, guys?
Come in.
Come on.
I don't know.
I was more always a leg guy, I guess.
But if you can have that and the others, there are some that have it all.
So, let's see.
Can you explain Wisconsin's Supreme Court election?
Yeah, I can.
We got lazy.
The people who showed up and voted for Trump in November did not go and vote for control of the Supreme Court in Wisconsin.
If Trump wasn't on the ticket, they got lazy.
The Democrats saw that.
They saw a window.
They spent a lot of money on it.
They worked hard.
They got out the numbers.
They ballot harvested.
They did everything that we should have been doing.
And everyone showed up to vote.
So that's what happened there, guys.
We can't do that.
We can't have that level of apathy.
We can't sit back and hope that it's just going to work out.
We can't just sit and go, I like what's going on now.
It's great, so I'm not going to show up for these special elections.
We've got to get out there and do that.
Panthers game?
You win North Carolina?
No. Florida Panthers, the hockey team.
Let's see.
Do you think Canada is finished?
We need, I guess there's a debate in 10 minutes.
I don't know, man.
Canada's just embracing a lot of wild crap.
And, you know, a bunch of guys I know who are Canadian that are very political and from former political families and everything like that are friends of mine.
They like him a lot.
I don't know him.
I've never met him.
I like the one interview he did with that.
But, I don't know.
There still seems like there's a lot of sort of embracing of so many of the things that have destroyed America up there.
Maybe that's what you have to do right now.
Because Canada could be that far gone.
I hope it's not, because I love Canada.
And I spent a lot of time up there.
I love going up there hunting.
I have a lot of friends from there.
So I hope we can do it.
I hope he wins, because it's the only guy that's even remotely conservative there.
But it doesn't seem like...
It doesn't seem...
Like, it's going as well as it should.
So maybe Canada has, I mean, this new guy's a disaster that's in there now.
Probably worse than the other guy.
You know, he's like more insane and more left and a bunch of interesting stuff about Canada.
I spoke up, I guess, where was I?
I guess I was in Toronto, whatever it was.
You know, last year and apparently a bunch of government people tried to do whatever they could to stop me from going up there and there's a lawsuit about it now.
You know, trying to see just how bad they were, and apparently a lot of the stuff's redacted and whatnot, but I think they talked about it on Tim Pool with Chris Pawlowski here on Rumble as well.
And so, interesting, but I love Canada.
I love going up there.
I think it's a great place, great country, beautiful, but they got a lot of problems that they have to fix as well.
Let's see.
Charlie Kirk was at WSU today, rocking the libs, loved it.
Charlie's obviously a great friend.
He's been on the show.
I do a lot with Charlie.
Super good dude.
Let's see.
Well, guys, it's about 7, so I unfortunately have to go to a dinner, back to work.
But I hope you guys have an awesome Easter weekend.
I hope you have an incredible time with your family.
Who tweets better, you or your dad?
Well, I have to say me.
I mean, there are some legendary Trump tweets out there, but I have gotten the call on numerous occasions, you know, Don, Don, you're getting a little too aggressive on social media.
I'm like, wait a minute.
I'm getting, like, wait, what just happened here?
So, you know, so maybe he thinks I'm too aggressive.
So maybe that means I'm too aggressive.
If he thinks I'm too aggressive, maybe I'm too aggressive.
You know, it's all pretty good.
But God bless you guys.
Have an incredible Easter.
Enjoy it with your families.
Get that time with the loved ones.
I'm going to go spend Easter Sunday with my dad.
So I'm psyched about that.
Finally, you know, get to see him.
Really, it's the first time since he's been in the White House.
I mean, I went down during, you know, for the State of the Union and stuff.
But I, you know, other than a quick hello, I really haven't seen him that much.
And so I'm psyched about that.
A little family time with the kids at the White House.
So that should be awesome.
So I hope you guys have an awesome one yourselves.
Maybe I'll try to get some...
You guys want some footage from the egg roll if I can try to get it?
I mean, sometimes you just want to be in the moment, not always capturing content.
But I think probably.
Let's see.
What do you guys think?
Yeah. Okay.
Yes. Okay.
I'll try to capture some stuff there.
Should be fun.
But guys, thanks for tuning in.
