Hey guys and welcome to another huge episode of Triggered.
I hope you're doing well.
The DC swamp might be shutting down, but we are still here hard at work.
The whole political theater of a government shutdown perfectly captures everything that's wrong with the swamp while we continue to spotlight everything that's right about the America First movement.
And have you noticed something?
As my father keeps delivering on his promises, as the winning keeps piling up, the establishment keeps losing their minds.
They can't actually handle accountability.
They can't handle borders that, I don't know, actually work.
They can't handle corrupt bureaucrats finally facing consequences.
But guys, here's the thing.
We're not tired of winning.
We're not tired of exposing corruption, and we're definitely not tired of watching the swamp creatures panic.

Go now, take back your time online.
And guys, let's get into some of the top headlines now.
There's a lot going on.
And we're actually gonna begin all the way out in California with a story that's so outrageous, so insulting to hard-working Americans that it perfectly encapsulates everything wrong with government bureaucrats who think the rules don't apply to them, and it deserves to be getting more coverage.
This is one of those you should be sharing with your friends.
Okay, because as fire victims continue to beg for answers on when they can actually, I don't know, rebuild their homes and when they'll get insurance payments, and whether they'll even be able to get insurance, the state insurance commissioner has been living like a Hollywood celebrity on the taxpayer dime.
According to an explosive nine-month investigation by ABC 7 out of Los Angeles, insurance commissioner Ricardo Laura has been getting and jetting around the world on taxpayer-funded trips for no apparent government purpose.
And these aren't just any trips.
We're talking about African safaris, five-star resorts in Dubai, limo services, personal chauffeurs.
And get this hiking equipment charged to California taxpayers for a trip to South Africa.
Let me repeat that, guys.
Hiking equipment for a state insurance commissioner paid for by the residents of California.
Watch this and see it for yourself.
It's wild.
Assuming office in 2019, Lada made at least 46 trips across the country and all over the world.
But as we found out, a significant chunk of the records are missing and the state has been unable to provide them, including work-related trips where he is pictured or listed as a speaker in Singapore, Cape Town, South Africa, Dublin, Costa Rica, Chile, Egypt, Tokyo, Glasgow and Dubai.
Plus a handful of trips to these states.
With that said, the trip receipts we do have are not cheap.
For context, records show Illinois' insurance commissioner spent $680 for the entire year of 2022.
Meanwhile, during the first six months of Lada's term, his cross-country and international trips cost taxpayers more than $33,000.
This includes an all-expenses paid week-long trip at a luxury five-star hotel in Bogota, Columbia for an LGBTI political leaders conference.
And another flight and five-star hotel stay in New York City for Pride Fest, where his schedule listed a VIP rooftop event with DJ Kitty Glitter.
We should note the four-day trip did not list any insurance-related meetings on his schedule.
Since 2019, there's been 48 international trips.
Since 2019.
2019, guys, in six years, 48 international trips.
And here's the kicker.
The department could only identify a direct business purpose for seven of those trips.
Seven out of 48, guys.
For example, Commissioner Laura took a five-day trip to Bogota, Colombia for, and I quote, LGBTIA Political Leaders Conference.
The trip cost taxpayers more than $24,000.
And get this, he spent more than $7,000 on taxi fares.
How do you spend $7,000 on taxi fares for a business trip?
Last November, Laura took a trip to Cape Town South Africa for an international insurance conference, but the conference itself was only two days long.
But he stayed there for two and a half weeks.
In addition to all of that, one trip to New York City for Pride Fest, really big one in the you know insurance world, I guess, uh, included a five-star hotel costing taxpayers more than 11,600.
The four-day trip listed no insurance-related beatings on his calendar, but a VIP rooftop event with DJ Kitty glitter did make it onto the itinerary.
You can't make this stuff up.
I want you to think about that for a second.
While California families are struggling with skyrocketing insurance premiums, and by the way, many Californians can't even get homeowners' insurance right now because companies are fleeing the state.
Now, while California bureaucrats are living large on taxpayer money, my father's border policies are absolutely crushing the criminal organizations that have been terrorizing our southern border.
And we don't have to take my word for it.
We have it straight from the horse's mouth.
Or in this case, straight from the Sinaloa cartel leader.
CNN interviewed a Sinaloa cartel leader, and he's really bummed out because my father's recent actions are really hurting his ability to conduct his drug business.
Watch for yourselves.
Do you think what President Trump has been doing has been making your job tougher?
Oh, yeah.
Yes.
But it's becoming more difficult, you think?
Yeah.
When the bad guys are admitting you're winning, you know you're doing something right.
The cartels are going to be crushed, and American communities are becoming safer as a result.
This is what real border security looks like, guys.
Not catch and release, not open borders, not sanctuary cities protecting criminals, real border security.
For the first time in at least 50 years, the United States is on track to achieve negative net migration due to the deportations.
Net migration in the US is down at least 60% from last year.
Down from 2.8 million in 2024 to potentially negative numbers in 2025.
And it's why Republicans have way higher approval on not just immigration, but on pretty much every major issue out there.
Check this out.
What do you think?
Yeah, what are we seeing?
You know, Donald Trump being underwater, Democrats think, oh, this guarantees us we're gonna fly high in the midterms.
Let me tell you, this guarantees you nothing, nothing because at this particular point the Democrats are the New Orleans Saints of political parties.
What are we talking about?
Trust the Dems or GOP more on the economy.
Who leads on the economy?
Republicans by seven.
Immigration, Republicans by 13.
How about crime, a big issue for Donald Trump and the Republicans?
Look at that.
Lead by 22 points.
So the bottom line is this at this particular point, the ball may be on the ground, but the Democrats have not picked up the ball and running with it.
If anything, at this particular point, it's the Republicans who are running with the ball on the top issues, the economy, immigration, and crime.
Give some context on this.
Compare this when Republicans last took the House.
Yeah, let's compare it back to 2022.
I think this kind of gives away the game right here.
Okay, the GOP is more trusted than the Dems on the economy.
It was 12 points in 2022.
Slight, slight decline in that leap, but still seven points.
How about immigration?
It was Republicans by three back in 2022.
Look at this.
The Republican elite's actually gone up by 10 points.
What are you doing, Democrats?
My goodness gracious.
And on crime, the Republicans were up by 13, and now they're up by 22, the lead again expanding by nearly double digits.
So whatever Democrats are doing, it ain't working, Kate.
It ain't working.
Republicans have the lead on all three issues.
My father promised to secure the border.
He promised to end the migrant invasion.
He promised to deport criminal illegal aliens and put Americans first.
And against all odds, despite constant obstruction from Democrats and criticism from the media, he is delivering.
According to the latest ICE data, my father's second term, there have been nearly 200,000 deportations.
That's more than 800 per day.
If this pace continues, we're looking at more than 300,000 deportations by the end of the year.
And you know what else is amazing?
Watching Democrats try to rewrite history about their own policies.
Check out this absolute gem from Senator Janine Sheehan getting called out on Fox over supporting illegal immigrants' health care.
I mean, they've literally been out there trying to get American taxpayers to pay for illegal immigrant health care.
Uh, then they pretend like it doesn't happen.
I haven't heard anybody in my party saying that illegal immigrants should get access to the health insurance mark.
I'm so glad you said that.
Actually, I have some tape of your uh Democratic Party members saying this on the debate today, so they've all said, and let's play the clip.
A lot of you have been talking tonight about these government health care plans that you proposed in one form or another.
This is a show of hands question, and hold them up for a moment so people can see.
Raise your hand if cover if your government plan would provide coverage for undocumented immigrants.
Senator, that's literally every member of your party, from moderate to more progressive that have said that in the past.
She literally says, I haven't heard anyone in my party saying illegals should get taxpayer-funded health care.
But that tape shows literally every Democrat candidate in 2020 raising their hand, supporting taxpayer-funded health care for illegal aliens.
This is what we're dealing with, folks.
They think we're stupid.
They stood on their debate stages, raised their hands, promised free health care to people who broke into our country illegally, and now they're pretending like it never happened.
And speaking of Democrats and their hypocrisy on immigration, Hakeem Jeffries is melting down over a couple of videos posted over on Truth Social.
We have no voters left because of all of our woke trans bullshit.
Not even black people want to vote for us anymore.
Even Latinos hate us.
So we need new voters.
And if we give all these illegal aliens free health care, we might be able to get them on our side so they can vote for us.
They can't even speak English, so they won't realize we're just a bunch of woke pieces of shit, you know, at least for a while until they they learn English and they realize they hate us too.
Now, Jeffries went on MSNBC to clutch his pearls and cry racism.
So my father posted a second video showing Jeffries himself criticizing the first video.
It just keeps getting better.
We are fighting to protect the health care of the American people in the face of an unprecedented Republican assault.
No.
And you know what, guys?
The left is screaming, this is racist.
But here's the thing.
These are the same Democrats who pander to Hispanic voters by putting on bad accents at campaign events.
These are the same Democrats who assume every Hispanic person supports open borders and unlimited illegal immigration.
My father is just holding up a mare to their ridiculousness.
He's exposing their pandering, and they can't stand it because deep down, they know he's right.
They know their entire immigration position is based on keeping illegal immigration flowing as much as possible.
And you know what helps?
Democrats get away with all of this?
Lying and gaslighting, big tech censorship.
And we're learning more every single day about just how rigged the system really is.
Because Wikipedia's own co-founder just exposed the bias built right into the platform.
Automatically, approved sources on Wikipedia include New York Times, the Washington Post, CNN, GLAAD, and the ADL.
They automatically banned sources like Breitbart, The Daily Caller, Apoc Times, Fox News, the New York Post, the Federalists.
I'm sure Rumble's probably on there too.
Think about that for a second, guys.
The ADL, which just got exposed for calling turning point USA an extremist group, is an automatically approved source.
But the New York Post, which broke the Hunter Biden laptop story that turned out to be 100% true, is automatically banned.
Fox News is banned, but CNN, which pushed the Russia hoax for years, is approved.
This isn't about accuracy or reliability.
This is about control.
This is about making sure the only establishment narrative gets through.
This is about information warfare, guys.
Can I go on the Wikipedia's site and find out what's blacklisted?
Sure.
Just type in perennial sources, Wikipedia into any search engine, and the first result will be this page.
And it names them the blacklist.
Oh, yeah, of course.
Yeah, it's all color-coded.
Green.
You have the list.
Do you mind if I do that really quick?
Go right ahead.
Okay, so it's let me just do I just I'm testing your thesis, so it's perennial.
Uh source.
Yeah.
Lists.
Wikipedia, right?
Well, you're doing that.
Oh, I'll um give you some fully pro approved sources.
New York Times, Washington Post, CNN, The Nation, Mother Jones, GLAD.
Come on!
These are all green lit, fully green lit.
Okay, the blacklisted sources are Breitbart, Daily Caller, Epic Times, Fox News, New York Post, the Federalist.
So you can't use those as sources on Wikipedia.
Oh wow.
Well, they've got, of course.
So is red, I'm looking at it now.
Yes.
Red means it's blacklisted.
You cannot cite it as a source of facts.
Maybe as a source of opinion, but generally that works out.
Anti-defamation league gets a green light.
Uh only for some.
Yes, if you're actually reporting about the uh about the Arab uh Israeli conflict.
Yes, yes.
Okay.
You may not cite them.
Interesting.
Sorry, you can't you can't find the Jewish perspective on the war so easily anymore on the media.
Uh yeah, Catholic hierarchy celebrity.
This is interesting.
Yes.
There's a serious academic encyclopedia of Christianity.
Um that is uh not allowed on Wikipedia.
On this show before, we've compared my Wikipedia to Hunter Biden's.
And it's like going into an alternate reality.
Hunter is portrayed as a sophisticated businessman who is a victim of lawfare.
I'm I'm not making this up.
And you can s you can say, I'm sure uh you'll guess uh what it probably has to say about me.
It still spews Russia hoax nonsense and claims I pushed conspiracy theories about the origins of COVID, all of which are by the way, true.
Like, you know, little things like, I don't know, talking about the virus originated in the lab that studies the exact virus in question at ground zero in Wuhan.
I mean, you know, conspiracy theories, like total common sense.
Wikipedia isn't some neutral encyclopedia anymore.
It's a propaganda tool.
It's the same pattern we see everywhere.
Big tech, legacy media, the deep state, they all work together to control what information you're allowed to see.
They couldn't beat my father at the ballot box, so they try to beat him by controlling information.
They banned the Hunter Biden laptop story before the 2020 election.
They de-plant formed conservative voices.
They fact-checked the truth and promoted lies.
But here's the beautiful thing, guys.
It's not working anymore.
People see through it.
Alternative media is exploding.
Podcasts like this one reach millions of people.
X is becoming a free speech platform again under Elon.
True social exists and is out there to talk about these things.
The monopoly on information is broken.
And that terrifies them.
Because when people have access to the truth, they don't vote for Democrats.
When people can see what's really happening, they don't support open borders and crime ridden cities.
When people aren't being lied to 24 7, they choose America first.
Now, speaking of border enforcement, let me tell you about what's happening in Portland, Oregon, because this story perfectly captures the absolute insanity of left-wing policing.
Portland police are asking for the public's help in finding a woman accused of assault near the ICE building.
This lunatic attacked the citizen journalist and gave her a black eye.
But here's the kicker.
They lost the suspect because their dialogue liaison officer that's actually a thing, uh, was too busy trying to hear her side of the story.
I'm not making it up.
Check this out.
Wow, that is quite a shine.
Are you all right?
Oh, yeah, I definitely have a black eye.
So that's what it's been like covering Portland for the past four months.
Complete lawlessness.
Wow.
Uh they say it's just one city block.
Is that even true?
That's not true.
So it went from being uh a war zone to one city block, but it's actually several blocks where that is completely controlled by Antifa affiliated protesters who harass assaults and threaten anyone who who they perceive to be a threat to their cause, including journalists, local residents, and ICE agents.
And the the Trump administration is absolutely correct in deploying federal troops here because Portland police has completely abandoned this zone.
They refuse to go in, and everyone that shows up is on their own.
So it's kind of like Chaz or Chop was in Seattle.
They just, I guess, secede this territory, cede it to Antifa, and they just let everything play out.
Yeah, that's absolutely correct.
So last night I got assaulted, and I immediately ran to a Portland police officer, hunted down the suspect, chased her through the streets and said, This is my assault suspect.
Can you guys find me do something?
And I had eyes on her for about 35 minutes.
Portland police refused to come in and make an arrest.
And I had three officers just standing there watching me uh try to hunt down this suspect.
And imagine my anger when I go online after doing all of that about an hour ago, and I see Portland police put out a bolo asking for the public's help and identifying my assault suspect.
So that is what it's like on the ground here in Portland, and it's time for a final crackdown.
The Trump administration needs to start treating Antifa like ISIS, the terrorists that they are, and put an end to them here for good.
All right, so Portland police say they're investigating.
I guess you had spoken to a dialogue officer.
I I don't even know what that means, but he did nothing.
So I don't even know what he's there for.
Uh does it does it kind of feel like Portland officials?
I I can't believe I'm even saying this, but have formed some sort of alliance with Antifa.
Oh, absolutely.
I would I would consider them Antifa at this point.
Why not?
So they their full agenda is to get ICE out of Portland.
So they're trying to shield the public from what's going on down on the ground.
But I have four months worth of video footage showing warlike scenes happening here, and none of that footage is from 2020.
But then you have Portland police chief Bob Day saying, Oh, the videos that you guys are seeing are from five years ago.
They are absolutely not.
We have the evidence to back it up, and how dare he do that.
I I'm a journalist.
I don't really have um, I don't really say this often, but Portland police chief Bob Day, you need to resign.
You need to resign immediately and now because you are a horrible leader, and it's time for you to go.
A dialogue liaison officer.
I mean, think about that.
That person was monitoring a gathering outside an ice building when the journalists reported an assault.
This officer followed the suspect, trying to talk to her, trying to get her perspective.
The officer then told her that she was being detained, and she just ran away, and the officer lost her.
According to Portland's own website, these dialogue liaison officers were created after the 2020 riots to build relationships with protesters and to create and or hold uh a safe space for demonstrators.
Are we serious here?
I mean, is this real?
Like, how can it possibly be?
While ICE is trying to deport criminal illegal aliens, Portland police are worried about creating safe spaces for the people attacking journalists.
They'd rather create safe spaces for criminals than actually enforce the law.
It's sick.
It's absolutely insane.
And it's why restoring law and order matters more than ever, and calling out those who are enabling this violent agenda.
For example, FBI director Cash Patel just cut all of the Bureau's ties with the Anti-Defamation League.
The most shocking thing was that there was, frankly, ever ties between the FBI and the ADL in the first place.
For years, under corrupt leadership like James Comey, the FBI embedded agents with the ADL, treating a political activist organization like some sort of law enforcement partner.
In fact, James Comey was writing love letters to the ADL telling them how great they were, even as they were labeling groups like Turning Point and extremist hate group.
This is one example of what cleaning house actually looks like.
This is what accountability looks like.
And this is just the beginning.
And speaking of James Comey, last week, a federal grand jury indicted the former FBI director on charges of making false statements to Congress and obstruction of a congressional proceeding.
And the left just keeps melting down because now they're worried that this could be very expensive and stressful for James Comey.
That's literally a talking point, guys, over at MSDNC.
Okay.
It's gonna be expensive and stressful for him.
I mean, yeah, I mean, sure, he ran an investigation, cost us uh hundreds probably of millions of dollars that when we had to go and deal with their lawfare and dispute that we weren't actually agents of Russia and have to fight that for years.
But you know, they're worried about him and it being stressful and expensive for him.
I it's wild.
You can't make it up.
Maybe Hugh Comey will end up walking away from this, but this will still be expensive, it will be stressful, it could ruin Comey's life for a time, and it seems to be foreshadowing if Comey's now, who could be next?
Right.
I think that's the punishment.
It's uh the punishment James Comey has to have expensive lawyers now, and he and it'll be take a lot of his time and um you know emotional investment.
Um theoretically, his liberty will be at stake in this case.
Uh and uh the the that's what look the the Justice Department, you know, a federal indictment is nothing to sneeze at.
It is a life-changing event.
Uh and uh it it is this is clearly punishment um uh directed at James Cumming.
I mean, it couldn't be more explicit because that's what Donald Trump demanded in so many words in that uh message to to um to Pam Bondy, the attorney general.
I mean, I've never seen anything like this.
Basically saying, go indict this guy, find something to indict this guy on.
They're crying about weaponization and revenge without an ounce of self-awareness.
You know, as I look at everything that's happening, the bureaucrat living like Kings, the cartels poisoning the American people, Portland's safe space officers, it's all connected.
It's all fruit of the same poisonous tree.
It's the battle between America first and the globalist establishment.
It's the war between the people and the swamp.
On one side, you've got my father and hundreds of millions of Americans who believe this country is worth fighting for.
People who believe in borders, law and order, and putting Americas and citizens first.
People who think that our government should work for us, not against us.
On the other side, you've got the Democrats, the Rhinos, the media, the deep state, all of their globalist public masters.
People who think America is the problem, not the solution.
People who want to manage our decline rather than restore our greatness.
People who would rather see corruption continue than admit their failed system is failing us even more.
Like I told you before, my father started this movement and it's bigger than any one person.
It's millions of Americans who have had enough.
Millions of Americans who want their country back.
And we're gonna take it back one victory at a time.
So here's what I want you to do, guys.
Stay plugged in.
Subscribe to this show, like it, share it, subscribe, follow independent voices who aren't afraid to speak truth.
Get involved in your community, the school boards, city councils, wherever you can make a difference, and support the fighters who are actually taking on the swamp, not just talking about it.
Most importantly, don't let them silence you.
They want you to think you're alone.
You're not.
Millions of us see exactly what's happening.
The left wins through intimidation and through isolation.
We win by speaking up and standing together.
Look at what they've already accomplished.
My father's back in the White House, Comey's indicted, the cartels are hurting, the border's secure, the swamp is being exposed.
The momentum on our side is only getting stronger.
So stay strong, stay informed, stay engaged, and stay a little bit triggered, guys.
