Time Text
Hey guys, welcome to another huge episode of Triggered.
I hope you guys are all doing well.
As you can see, uh, I'm not in the studio, uh meeting some friends out west, having a good time.

Let's see what happens.
Um we'll go from there.
So let me ask you guys, how much time do you spend every day clicking around online, searching, scrolling, typing, endless tabs?
It adds up, doesn't it?
Well, there's a new AI web browser from Perplexity called Comet that is completely changing the game.

Yes, actually do things, not just give you answers.
You can ask Comet to handle tasks, and it literally clicks, types, searches, scrolls, just like you would to get things done in the background while you go about your day.

It saves you a massive amount of time.
I've been using it to track down news stories for this show.

Again, guys, that's PPLX, PPLX.ai slash D O N J R. It's pretty easy.
And also, guys, don't forget about the Birch Gold Group, where you can diversify your savings and protect your future.
The Trump administration is moving fast to right all of the left's wrongs.
But with all the damage we've seen the Democrats do, it's always smart to be prepared.
And that's why thousands of Americans are buying gold now from the Birch Gold Group.
Here are the facts.
In the past 12 months, the value of gold has increased by 30%.
And Birch Gold makes it extremely easy to convert an existing IRA or 401k into a tax-sheltered IRA in physical gold.
Or you can even buy some gold to store in your home safe.
Just text my name, Don Jr.
D-O-N-J-R, to the number 989898.
And Birch Gold will send you a free info kit on gold.
There's no obligation, only useful information.
It's about learning more and educating yourself.
With an A plus rating with the Better Business Bureau and tens of thousands of happy customers, take control of protecting your savings today.
Again, text my name, Don Jr.
D-O-N-J-R, to the number 989898.
Okay, guys, let's start with something that should unite every single American, regardless of politics, and that's about protecting our children.
Okay, protecting children.
It seems so obvious, but it's not, apparently to the left, and all of the insanity because yesterday in the Oval Office, we got new information about the success of the FBI's operation to restore justice.
The numbers are absolutely staggering.
I mean, this stuff is insane.
It's literally hard to believe, right?
You always knew there was a problem, and then you're like, okay, that's a couple of people, but nope, it's a lot more than that.
This year, 5400 children have been located and rescued.
A 30% increase from last year.
And they're just starting, okay.
Gang arrests, gang arrests are up by more than 210% in just seven months compared to last year.
And over the summer, 205, 205 child predators were arrested.
115 children were rescued in just five days.
Okay.
Check out these FBI crime stats with Cash Patel, because honestly, you under you realize there's a problem.
You know there's a problem.
You just don't know how bad it is, and probably how much worse it got in the last four years under Biden.
You had 8700 arrests of violent criminals.
You had 2200 firearms cheese off the streets permanently to safeguard our communities.
You had 421 kilograms of fentanyl cheese.
Just to put that in perspective, that's enough to kill 55 million Americans alone.
You had 45,000 kilograms of cocaine seeds, and thanks to our Department of Justice partners, you had 2100 indictments in three months from June to September alone.
Mr. President, that in and of itself should be historic for a four-year presidency.
You did that in seven months because you let good cops be cops, and you partnered Us with the right people, the Department of Justice to put the handcuffs on and bring them to court and put them in prison.
And if that weren't enough, when you look at the year for the entire seven-month period that we're talking about here, if you look at the past four years of the Biden administration, 16,000, 17,000, 15,000, 15,000.
That's the number of arrests year over year of violent felons in this country for the Biden administration.
Mr. President, in seven months, you have 27, 28,600 arrests of violent feminists in just seven months alone, because of your leadership and the dedication of the men and women at the FBI who want to go out there and do the job they were prevented from doing because that department used to be weaponized and politicized.
And this is what happens when you take out the fangs of weaponization.
This number is historic by every metric.
28,000 people have been arrested, violent felons alone.
And then when you go over there and look at some of these charts, if you don't mind, I'll just hop over here.
Look at the metrics for not just five crime but the homeland.
Mr. President, during your administration, the FBI has found and located 5400 children.
That is a 30% increase year to date over the last administration.
Violent crimes against children, arrest alone are up 10%.
Gang arrests are up 210% in the last seven months alone.
And transnational organized crime, which Stephen Miller has been a great partner in, is up over 12% alone.
These numbers are historic just as a snapshot.
But just so people don't think we're focusing on violent crime alone.
The national security mission, Mr. President, your leadership has never been stronger.
Think about that, guys, for a second.
A hundred and fifteen kids, a hundred and fifteen future lives saved, futures saved, a hundred and fifteen families who who got their children back because this administration refuses to simply look the other way.
Okay.
This all happened in an in a week, in under a week, in five days.
Okay.
I mean, how did it get to this point where they allowed this to happen?
How did it get to the point where we're so indifferent that we don't even think about these things?
It's crazy.
I mean, this is yet another example of when you have leaders who actually care about law and order, results happen, guys.
We talked about that on Monday.
It's not rocket science.
You just have to give a crap.
You just have to break from the norms.
Okay.
And speaking of the need for law and order, let's talk a little bit about San Francisco.
Okay.
The White House just announced San Francisco is next on the cleanup list.
Okay.
Watch what they had to say.
At the request of government officials, which is always nice, that you start looking at San Francisco.
I think we can make San Francisco one of our great cities 10 years ago, 15 years ago, and now it's a mess.
And we have great support in San Francisco, so I'd like to recommend that for uh inclusion, maybe in your next group.
You'll get great support.
Every American deserves to live in a community where they're not afraid of being mugged, murdered, robbed, raped, assaulted, or shot.
And that's exactly what our administration is working to deliver.
So here's the thing, guys.
Decades ago, San Francisco was one of the crown jewels of America.
Now it's a cautionary tale of what happens when radical leftist politics run unchecked, right?
Homelessness, open air, drug markets, crime, businesses fleeing, and so much more.
But like, what if I mean if California won't even protect its own citizens, I guess the Trump administration will.
And I imagine the people, other than the criminals, and the politicians who allowed it to get this way, will probably be all in favor of it.
And while most Democrats are against cleaning up cities because it makes Trump look good, we're finding some sanity inside the mind of John Fetterman, Democrat Pennsylvania Senator.
It's amazing.
It's perhaps one of the only sane ones out there.
Because last night, during a town hall event, he totally flipped the script and called on his own party to stop with the violent rhetoric.
Check it out.
I'm the only Democrat in my family.
I grew up in a conservative part of Pennsylvania.
And I grew up, and I I knew I know and I love people that voted for President Trump.
But they are not fascists.
They're not Nazis.
They're not trying to destroy her the Constitution and those things.
And that's part of another thing.
Um I refuse to call people uh Nazis or fascists, or I would never compare anybody, anybody to Hitler and those things.
And uh that kinds of extreme rhetoric is going to continue.
We're going to be more likely and resulting in extreme kind of outcomes and political violence and doing all these kinds of things.
Like Charlie Kirk.
For me, all I could say is like, let people grieve.
Give people the space.
I'm not going to use that terrible thing and that passic assassination to make my argument and try to put out my views.
It's like, my God, you know, he's a father that had his neck blown out by a bullet.
Um, and now people have forgotten.
President Trump was in my state was shot in the head.
And if that would have could you imagine where our nation would be if he was hit in the same way with Kirk, uh we really got to turn the temperature down.
And we can agree to disagree on these kinds of things.
But right now, uh shutting down the government.
I I just can't take it that.
Fetterman actually went further.
He called out his own party for the government shutdown, which we all know is true, right?
The government is shut down because Democrats are insisting on funding healthcare for illegals with American tax dollars.
He said Democrats are more interested in political games than keeping the government open.
How do you think Democrats are responding?
Well, guys, not shockingly, but according to a new report in Axios, Democrats now want to find a primary challenger to run against him in 2028.
That's what the political machine does, guys.
If you use common sense, if you speak the truth, if you break from your party a little bit, they want you out of office as soon as possible, right?
No different than the Republicans with us or my father.
But this guy's talking about actually doing sane things.
And still against them.
Can you imagine if more Democrats were like this?
if they actually tried to work with Republican citizens, demonizing the majority of the country, do you think what could possibly happen with that?
But of course, that's not who the Democrats are.
In fact, some are even perfectly happy taking money from America's enemies.
Because there's a big governor's race out in New Jersey, and the Democrat candidate is getting some campaign cash from, you guessed it, folks, the Chinese Communist Party.
The CCP.
Watch this.
It's absolutely wild.
Cheryl is facing her own heat for reportedly taking donations from a tycoon linked to the Chinese Communist Party.
Fox Digital writes this.
Uh Pinney, the founder of Wang Zhang America Corporation, donated $60,000 to the one giant leap super PAC, which is backing Mikey Sherrill's campaign in the form of two checks, in addition to giving her the $5,800 individual max donation directly to Cheryl's campaign this summer, according to records reviewed by Fox News Digital, and first reported by the New York Post.
Now, Fox Business has also reached out to Cheryl's campaign on this, and we are waiting for a response.
We have not gotten any answers to any of this.
But we talk about the Communist Party of China all the time on this program.
What do you know about the relation uh relationship between your opponent and the C CP?
I know what you know because she won't answer any questions about it, but this is what happened in the debate last week.
It was news of this, it was news of contributions from the opioid manufacturers.
It was her being punished at the Naval Academy.
It was her breaking federal law on stock trades and stock reporting.
New York Times reports that while sitting on the House Armed Services Committee, she's trading defense stocks.
I really think what happened last week, Maria, she cracked.
And when she cracked, she got very reckless.
And that reckless lay that led to that blatant lie that I filed my defamation suit about.
Well, political analysts are pointing out the importance of this race and the outcome ahead of the 2026 midterms.
Fox News contributor Liz Peake wrote about it in this Fox News digital op ed.
She's questioning will the Garden State voters throw out the politicians who've driven people to leave the state.
I'm not exaggerating.
I mean, I'm not being hyperbolic.
Like a business tycoon whose company has deep ties to the CCP, his late father-in-law and business partner was literally honored as an outstanding communist party member back in 2021.
And it gets worse.
I mean, or better, depending on how you want to actually look at it.
His company was literally praised by Xi Jinping himself.
The company founder was said to be in line with the party's central committee.
Hmm.
And the Democrat candidate we're referring to here is Congresswoman Mickey Sherrill, who currently sits on the House Committee focused on countering the CCP.
I mean, can you even believe this?
I mean, if you want to talk about insanity, this is it.
If you want to talk about what's really at stake in our country, it's not just policy differences, it's whether we can even speak without being attacked or killed.
The left has spent years, years trying to silence conservative voices.
It started with deplatforming, then it went on to canceled culture, then it went to calling everyone they disagree with Nazis and fascists, and then it went to debanking.
It never ended.
And look where it led, guys.
It led to assassinations, repeated acts of violence, ongoing threats, and celebrations by those who maybe wouldn't have pulled the trigger themselves, but certainly weren't against it.
You could tell all that with the celebrations about what happened to Charlie Kirk and certainly what they tried to do to my father nine or ten months ago.
But to the left, they haven't learned any lessons.
Just listen to this left-wing lunatic speaking on a panel with Charlie's longtime friend last night.
But if you look at any polls according to uh CSIS, political violence overwhelmingly comes from the right.
These mass shootings come from the right.
And when it comes to the leaked text messages that came out 24 hours ago, I don't think it's fair to say there's an undercurrent just on the left.
I know what you mean, but there's also an undercurrent on the right.
There is something deep and dark boiling inside the GOP.
The study you just cited didn't include things like, you know, the Tesla attacks that were against uh uh Elon Musk and Tesla.
The study shows lethal deaths, lethal violence, lethal violence comes disproportionately from the right.
The Tesla lethal.
We can point to the Buffalo shooting, the El Paso Super talk.
Yeah.
Go ahead.
Go ahead.
Wow.
Um, all right.
So there's a whole bunch of things.
I tried to debug my study, so it is it your study?
Did you do it?
I did not do it.
But keeping it.
What is your what is your point, sir?
My point is that time and time again, whether it's the you know, the Aaron Burnett on CNN, God bless her, she tried to quote the same study.
They didn't even they didn't include a lot of what we would consider left-wing violence in that study, okay?
First of all, second of all, my dear friend was just killed by left-wing violence, assassinated in cold blood.
There has been how many ice facilities that have been targeted?
And when you when you look at what's happening right now, I agree with you on the radicalization, but you have to be honest about the fact that you even admitted, well, this year it's progressives.
Well, what about what about George Floyd?
What about the that that whole summer of looting and rioting?
Listen, there has been a trend of I think you're, you know, let's just say, let's be gracious and say, in the ear of Trump, maybe it's a reaction to Trump.
I'm open to those discussions, but there is a justification for political violence.
It shows up in every poll, and it's coming from progressives.
I I don't want to hear about both sides.
Again, they keep doing this.
It's both sides.
You know, they find a thread of a couple college kids that are young Republicans and said some stupid stuff, and they were like, oh, we're gonna bat, you know, no, no, no.
like that's not the same.
They're trying to flip the script, they're trying to change the topic.
Okay.
This is different.
It isn't both sides.
It's one side.
It's the left.
They're the ones actually doing these things.
Okay.
And on Tuesday, on what would have been Charlie's 32nd birthday, my father honored him with the presidential medal of freedom.
I was there myself.
Uh, it was incredible.
So many longtime friends, people who were there at the very beginning of turning point.
Um I watched Erica Kirk stand there in the Rose Garden with incredible strength and grace.
Uh, I saw an incredible display, a patriotic display of passion and motivation to carry on the work, the mission that Charlie dedicated his life to.
Check out what my father said, and then I'm sure we'll get into a little bit of what Erica said too.
Today we're here to honor and remember a fearless warrior for liberty, beloved leader who galvanized the next generation like nobody I've ever seen before, and an American patriot of the deepest conviction, the finest quality and the highest caliber, the late great Charlie Kirk.
He was assassinated in the prime of his life for boldly speaking the truth, for living his faith and relentlessly fighting for a better and stronger America.
He loved this country.
And that's why this afternoon, it's my privilege to posthumously award Charles James Kirk, our nation's highest civilian honor, the presidential medal of freedom.
Thank you.
That's who we lost.
A servant, a leader, a father, a young patriot who believed in this country with every fiber of his being, who believed in his fake, who believed in freedom and free speech and all of the founding tenants of this country.
And they killed him for it.
To all watching, this is this is not a ceremony.
This is a commissioning.
And my message is simple.
I want you to be the embodiment of this medal.
I do.
I want you to free yourself from fear.
Listen for the still small voice of God.
And remember that while freedom is inherited in this country, each of us must be intentional stewards every single day.
God began a mighty work through my husband, and I intend to see it through.
And the torch is in our hands now.
It's in mine, it's in yours.
It's in all of yours.
It's in all the students with turning point USA.
This administration is making sure he will never ever be forgotten.
That our mission gets accomplished.
Here's Stephen Miller this week laying out the path ahead.
First of all, let me say how touched I was by President Trump's kind words today, and what an extraordinary honor it is to work for him.
The work that he has done on public safety these last several months will go down in history as one of the greatest achievements that any president has ever accomplished.
Just look here at our nation's capital, Sean.
You and I have talked about this before.
It is the largest, steepest, fastest reduction in violent crime ever recorded at any place in the history of our country.
And I think you would say the history of any country.
This is now one of the safest cities in the world from one of the most violent cities in the world.
In Memphis, where President Trump has launched his task force in full force less than two weeks ago.
We are already hearing reports of crime reductions that are so staggering, people can't even believe it.
And we see videos posted online all day by residents who are saying for the first time that they can Remember, their kids can play outside, they can walk down the street, they can go where they want to go, do what they want to do.
They feel liberated because they have been liberated.
At that same press conference today, President Trump talked about how, under his leadership and direction, the FBI has arrested and removed and prosecuted with the Department of Justice over 20,000 of the most violent criminals on earth in just the last several months.
20,000.
Think about how many lives that saved Sean.
Think about how many families that saved.
The contrast couldn't be more clear.
We have Democrat politicians, Democrat judges, Democrat prosecutors, setting loose thugs, hoodlums, gangbangers, and cartel killers that are stabbing children to death, murdering innocent women on the subway, mugging people in broad daylight, making life hell for law-abiding citizens.
And we have President Trump using DOJ, DHS, and yes, the U.S. military to make our city safe again for all Americans.
I am so proud, Sean, to be able to be a small part of President Trump's leadership and his effort to make America secure for our people.
Honestly, the left is terrified right now.
Okay, because this administration is delivering on its promises.
Child predators are being arrested.
Kids are being rescued.
Cities are being cleaned up.
Drug boats are being blown up.
The border is closed.
The beat deportations of terrible people are happening.
This isn't theoretical.
This isn't a think tank white paper.
You know, ah, we'll talk about all these things and never actually do anything.
And you know, this is real action that's making America safer.
It's making America stronger, and it's making America more prosperous.
And the Democrats, of course, you know, the usual suspect, they're melting down.
They're losing their minds.
And those minds have been lost, really lost for quite some time.
Just watch Nancy Pelosi lose her cool this week when being asked a simple question about the events leading up to January 6th.
Congresswoman Pelosi, are you at all concerned that the New January 6th committee will find you liable for that day?
Are you at all concerned about the new January 6th committee finding you liable for that day?
Why did you refuse the National Guard on January 6th?
Shut up.
I did not refuse the National Guard.
The president didn't send it.
Why are you coming here with Republican talking points as if you're a serious journalist?
The American people want to know we still have questions.
Thank you.
Of course, uh, for the best analysis, we turn to the ladies over at the view, where Joy Bear is now claiming that she would book conservatives.
They're just too afraid to come on the show.
I think that we should have more Republicans on the show, but they don't want to come on.
They're scared of us.
Come on, it's like Marjorie Sandler Green says that she finds the Republican men afraid of powerful women.
Well, that may be true of all all the political persuasions.
But if they would come on the show and they can explain to us what they're trying to do to this candidate.
Now, Julie, what we should do, ask Joey.
If you want a couple minutes of good fun, I tweeted about this yesterday.
If you want a couple minutes of good fun, I don't know, I'm a conservative guy.
I went on the view.
I published my book Trigger, then they asked me to come on about the book, and they said we'll do the whole show on you and it.
And so I did the whole show.
It was the 5000th episode of The View.
And I don't think I got a single question about the book.
And of course, I went on the offense.
Now, if you want to see something really good, don't just watch that show.
And I had plenty of guys all over the country the following weeks after that.
You were great on the view.
I was like, what were you doing watching the view?
You know, but if you want something really special, you have to call ABC News or ABC in general and ask them to release the footage during the commercial breaks when I was on the show.
Because I was there to promote a book.
They didn't ask me about it.
I figured, you know, this thing could go really wrong.
So, you know, let's let's understand what the geniuses of the view have, and let's Be ready to fire back.
But the show footage of the crowd during those commercial breaks, turning MAGA was incredible.
Show guys, ABC, show Whoopi Goldberg screaming at them.
And I believe the quote was this isn't a MFing MAGA rally.
Okay, so don't forget.
Don't forget, this is the view.
Filmed in New York City.
I got like eight or ten tickets for myself, and it's a crowd of like 150, 200 people.
So like 5% of the crowd were like my friends.
And they weren't even all that rowdy or wild.
But when you bring facts to the view and you push back, the crowd turned enough so that Whoopi Goldberg was screaming at them like a lunatic during the commercial breaks.
So ABC News, show America the tapes.
Okay, the commercial break tapes.
We want to see it.
So look, guys, here's the bottom line.
This administration is delivering results.
Real measurable, tangible results that are making America better.
We're winning on policy.
We're winning on principle.
We're winning on protecting American families.
This is about America versus the swamp.
Freedom versus tyranny.
Truth versus lies.
Common sense versus absolute insanity.
And there's a lot of it.
So guys, stay in the fight, stay in the game.
As always, thanks so much for tuning in.
