In this episode, Owen Shroyer celebrates Donald Trump's Iowa caucus victory, emphasizing unity to tackle issues like border control, energy independence, crime, and election integrity. Trump himself, in a speech, warns about the dangers of high inflation, advocates for "peace through strength" in international relations, and criticizes the media, attributing many societal problems to its dishonesty. He laments cultural losses due to conflicts, stresses the need for law and order, and expresses confidence in his 2024 presidential prospects based on his administration's past achievements in reducing crime and boosting the economy. [Automatically generated summary]
Pretty much immediately once the caucus started, they called it for Donald Trump.
Boy, talk about a change of pace.
Usually, they would never want to admit Trump won anything.
But they admit Trump won this as soon as it started.
Surprising no one.
But the results are incoming, and they're already discounting V-Vake.
I guess that's not surprising, ladies and gentlemen.
We are live here.
Owen Schroer live episode 48.
Trump wins the Iowa caucus, and we will monitor the results, see who comes in second.
Right now, it appears it's going to be DeSantis.
It's unfortunate Ramaswamy is going to struggle to crack double digits, but we'll talk about that in a second.

All right.
So they announced the victory for Trump immediately.
And I don't think anybody was surprised by the result.
Perhaps surprised that they're willing to admit that Trump won so soon.
When, of course, we know that in 2020 they didn't want Trump to win.
They announced Arizona for Biden, even though it was way too early.
They refused to announce Georgia, Pennsylvania, Michigan, Wisconsin, or North Carolina for Trump, even though he was winning all day long, as if they were waiting for something to happen.
And then something did happen, didn't it?
But we're not here to talk about history.
Thank you, AIM316, as always, for your participation and your rumble rants.
Glad to be back.
Glad to be back and have you here with me tonight.
All right.
We're going to be monitoring these results live.
We've got the coverage here that we'll be monitoring.
But immediately they called it every major news publication called it for Donald Trump immediately after the counting began.
As of right now, it looks like Trump is going to get the simple majority.
And then DeSantis and Haley fighting each for about 20%.
And then Vivek pulling behind them, which is upsetting.
Now, the results aren't fully in yet, but we do have some early returns that we can check out as far as the breakdown is concerned.
But boy, oh boy, they really don't even want you to know about Vivek Ramaswamy.
Most of the major polling results didn't even include him in the results.
So like, I actually had to expand this.
They didn't even have him on here.
You have to hit this to even look at Ramaswamy.
But we'll look at these counties.
We'll look at the breakdowns here by different groups, age, gender, everything else that they will have for us live.
But you may have noticed this odd trend happening.
And really, so far, what I've seen from the 2024 election process is that many of Trump's supporters have become a bit cultish.
And we know that the left and even establishment conservatives and Republicans have always wanted to push that narrative that Trump supporters are in this cult and that it's dangerous and all this stuff.
And it's never really been true.
But unfortunately, it's starting to become true in 2024.
Now, obviously, I'm not a part of that cult.
I criticize Donald Trump when it's warranted and I support him when it's warranted.
But I've noticed that specifically when it comes to Vivek Ramaswamy's campaign, people saying he's controlled opposition.
He's the conservative Obama, all this stuff.
And hey, that's all fair.
That's all fair as far as political commentary is concerned.
But the vicious attacks and the vicious assumptions that are being made to anybody that says anything positive about Vivek Ramaswamy is concerning to me.
We should be supporting Vivek Ramaswamy, and we should be intellectual and sophisticated enough politically to understand that in this go-around, Vivek Ramaswamy is not a threat to Donald Trump.
He's not going to beat Donald Trump in the primaries.
But Vivek's message is extremely important.
Vivek's ability to bring in the youth vote to the Republican Party is also very important.
And I think we're going to see that play out in the data tonight.
And with the early returns, I've already seen this.
Now, I've said this since day one.
And anybody who follows my daily show or this Monday night show knows that I have said this since the beginning.
I like Vivek.
I think he has the most important campaign right now, but my vote is still for Donald Trump.
I want to see Vivek earn more political capital.
I'd like to see Donald Trump give Vivek a shot in his administration to earn that political capital and put him in charge of draining the swamp, if you will.
A special committee to drain the swamper, put him in charge of a position to just abolish all of these federal bureaucracies that Vivek has been lambasting and attacking viciously, and rightfully so since he started his campaign.
Now, that's been my stance since day one, but Vivek's rhetoric is better than Donald Trump's when it comes to this issue.
And Vivek is drawing in the youth vote to the Republican Party in lasting ways in which no other candidate has done.
And people say, oh, he was part of this.
He was part of that.
Okay.
He addressed the Soros issue.
He addressed the World Economic Forum issue.
And he sued to be removed from any of their publications.
And he made public statements about it.
Now, I'm as cynical as the next person.
And it is perfectly reasonable to be concerned about that.
And it is perfectly acceptable to call that out.
But he has addressed it.
And I think it's a perfectly reasonable thing to accept Vivek Ramaswamy as a young man chasing his American dream, taking a scholarship from the Soros Institute, getting involved in big pharma, making a bunch of money, and getting invited to World Economic Forum events.
Of course.
But see, if you're going to jump to those conclusions about Vivek Ramaswamy, then you better jump to those same conclusions about Donald Trump when he's pictured with Jeffrey Epstein.
Or have you made sophisticated reasoning that, oh, okay, Donald Trump's a billionaire playboy.
I'm not surprised he was around Jeffrey Epstein.
So you see, what we have here is people's reactionary bias contorting their philosophical and logical foundations.
There are plenty of reasons why we could throw Trump under the bus and be done with him.
There are plenty of reasons why you could say the same thing with Vivek Ramaswamy.
This is why I preach against political purism, because it's a cancer in any political movement, and it's a death sentence to any political movement.
It's a terminal illness.
And when you become political purists, you turn into a cult.
That's what happens.
And that's starting to become the case with a lot of these Trump supporters.
Why can't I like Vivek Ramaswamy and Donald Trump?
Because you're an occult.
If you can't understand the basic, not even sophisticated political ideology to say, I like Trump and Vivek Ramaswamy, then you're entering a cult-like mindset that is very dangerous.
And it's becoming a point where you won't even be able to criticize Donald Trump because you think he can do no wrong.
And plenty of people will even take what I'm saying here and jump to conclusions and reach and take things I'm saying out of context.
But if you don't understand the importance of Vivek Ramaswamy's campaign and you don't understand the importance of Vivek finishing ahead of DeSantis or Haley, then you're just not that politically sophisticated.
I'm sorry to tell you.
Vivek Ramaswamy might be a snake.
I don't believe that.
But even if that ends up being the case, we're not there yet.
We're in the time where Vivek Ramaswamy is calling out the deep state and calling to abolish all of the corrupt federal institutions that are some of the biggest problems this country has, unlike any other candidate.
Now, why would he do that?
Why would he do that?
And all these attacks that I see people making against Vivek, do you say the same thing about Donald Trump?
Every time somebody brings up something about Donald Trump or his past or his casinos or Jeffrey Epstein or the Trump tapes and all this other stuff, you always have an excuse for Donald Trump, but then you always assume the worst about Vivek Ramaswamy.
Why is that?
Think about it.
Think about it.
All I'm saying is to remain sound of mind.
All I'm saying is to not have reactionary bias as we enter what is surely going to be the craziest election cycle of all time.
Vivek was never a threat to Donald Trump's run for office.
He was never going to beat Donald Trump in a primary.
This isn't about loyalty.
I don't have, and for all of you talking about loyalty, again, this is what cult members sound like.
I have loyalty to the truth.
I have loyalty to the truth and to reality and to bring that to my audience.
I don't have loyalty to Donald Trump.
I don't have loyalty to Vivek Ramaswamy.
I have loyalty to the truth and to reality and to my country.
That's where my loyalties are.
And if you start talking about loyalties to an individual, you're entering cult territory.
I'm sorry to deliver this message and I know it's going to rub a lot of you people wrong.
I come at you with peace and love.
But you're not even through January of 2024 and you're already peddled to the metal attacking Vivek Ramaswamy, who was never a threat to Donald Trump and who has had the strongest rhetoric for our movement and been the most pivotal campaign in bringing the youth vote to the Republican Party in modern history.
And everybody here is so obsessed with finding an edge and in their reactionary bias, assuming the worst about one individual while defending certain things about another individual, it's not logically consistent.
It's not intellectually or sophisticatedly sound.
And I'm just telling you, you're feeding in to what the Republican establishment wants and what the Democrats want.
Now, again, the truth of the matter is this is not really going to impact any of the results.
This is more me observing what conservative political culture is in the ever-expanding medium of social media and just saying, hey, let's not go completely out of control here in January of 2024 and spend all this political capital attacking one another and attacking Vivek Ramaswamy and
becoming this crazed cult of personality.
Let's stay focused on the issues.
Let's stay focused on the issues.
And one of the biggest issues is our corrupt bureaucracies, the corrupt federal government.
And who has touched on those issues more than anybody else?
Vivek Ramaswamy.
That is a fact.
I don't care whether Vivek Ramaswamy is a Soros plant or is Obama in a Republican suit.
That's just a fact.
He's not going to be anywhere near the White House in 2024.
So relax.
And again, I've always said I'm still voting for Donald Trump.
I've always explained why I'm still voting for Donald Trump.
The people who didn't want to support Donald Trump because of the vaccines and because of the lockdowns, perfectly reasonable.
But they will eventually come around because Trump's going to eventually be the option.
And this is an election.
And you can't be a political purist or you'll have nowhere to go.
so you have to take your best option but yeah it'd be real easy if i was loyal to individuals or if i was let me put it to you like this If I was somebody that could be bought, I would be loyal to Trump.
I'd take the Trump social media money.
I'd become totally loyal to Donald Trump.
And I'd become like all the other Trump loyalists that are likely, if not mostly, all paid for by the Trump campaign.
And I could go about that route.
I'm not for sale.
My loyalty is to the truth and to the country that my grandfathers, my lineage fought for.
I could do the same thing to Vivek Ramaswamy.
Of everything I've done for Donald Trump, and yes, I have done a lot for Donald Trump as an American citizen and a voter.
There are not too many more that have done more for Donald Trump than Owen Schroer.
I was one of the first people in the media to support Donald Trump.
Check the record.
I created a whole genre of content owning the libs on the streets.
I created billions of views on the internet owning all the Trump protesters.
At every Trump protest, at every Trump rally, I went there on the ground and embarrassed all of the Trump protesters that caused a massive influx of support for Donald Trump and changed the narrative altogether.
I've been arrested three times.
Well, I guess four times for my support of Donald Trump.
Well, really, five times.
I've been arrested for supporting Donald Trump.
I went to Congress and said that they were the ones committing treason and Trump was innocent.
Who else has done that?
Nobody.
But see, my loyalty isn't to Donald Trump.
It's to the truth.
So even though I've done all of that for Donald Trump and gotten nothing back from his campaign or the individual, I don't care because I did it because that's the truth.
That's what's right.
Now, on the other hand, as I get nothing from Donald Trump, I could sit here and I could say, well, Vivek Ramaswamy is the only person running for office that's actually supported me.
He's talked about my case multiple times.
His campaign reaches out to me, stays in touch with me.
He's brought up my name on Fox News.
He's brought up my name in the campaign trail.
So I could easily sit here and become a loyalist for Vivek.
And I'm not.
So I would just be cautious.
Now, again, to each their own.
I don't do infighting.
And I don't usually go down this road, but I think it's very important here in January 2024.
I think it's very important here in January 2024 to put this out there and to make sure this message is heard.
Otherwise, we're going to eat ourselves.
That's what the left is supposed to do.
That's how this is supposed to go.
The left is supposed to eat themselves, not the right.
Not the right.
So let's let that play out how it's supposed to play out.
Let the left eat themselves.
Don't let the conservative nationalist populist movement eat itself.
I'm not loyal to any individual.
I'm loyal to the truth.
I'm not judging people that are loyal to individuals, but that's not me.
I'm not here to scrape and claw and get involved on red-on-red and right-on-right politics.
I'm here to call it as I see it, and my loyalties are to the truth.
So that's where that goes.
Now, I can take calls on this all night, and maybe I should because I know this is a hot topic.
But let me show you what I'm talking about here as the results are starting to come in.
In voters, look at the youth vote that Vivek is turning out here.
Those are big numbers.
In fact, Vivek got more of the youth vote than we're talking about under 44 than Nikki Haley.
So that's big.
That tells you that younger conservatives don't like war.
Younger conservatives like the anti-establishment politics and rhetoric of Vivek Ramaswamy.
That's very important to the future of the Republican Party if you want it to stay on the side of not destroying America like the Democrats.
So we should be embracing Vivek's politics.
We should be embracing Vivek's rhetoric, not rejecting it and calling him a snake and all this other stuff.
Wait and see.
If that's the case, then I'll call him out too.
I don't believe that's the case.
It's kind of like the same thing with Trump.
Like all these, or even Alex Jones.
All these people say all this crap about Alex Jones.
I know Alex Jones personally.
I know it's bullcrap.
All these people say all this stuff about Donald Trump.
And while I don't know him personally, I know a handful of people that do know him personally and talk to him all the time.
It's bullcrap.
Same with Vivek Ramaswamy.
Now, you don't have to trust me, but I'd think my track record would prove trustworthy.
But nonetheless, the youth vote is something that Republicans have struggled with mightily.
And if the anti-establishment rhetoric and politics of Vivek Ramaswamy is resonating with the youth, then we should be embracing that.
And notice how the conservative establishment media wants to ignore Vivek as much as possible.
Do you think they'd be doing that if he was their pick, if he was the establishment snake?
Do you think they'd be ignoring him and keeping him off the results?
No.
No, I don't think so.
So we'll be continuing to monitor these results.
I also expect a form of a victory speech, if you will, from Trump before it's too late.
The fall of DeSantis is the other story here.
But, but the one saving grace for Ron DeSantis is, as of right now, he's in second place.
I would say that's good news.
Even though he cozied up to the Bush establishment wing and he kind of stabbed Trump in the back by running, and then some of his rhetoric through the campaign was unbecoming.
Him finishing second above Haley is actually a good thing.
And it might keep the hopes of his political future alive.
But, but at this point, I think if Ron DeSantis wants to actually maintain any credibility or respect from the Republican base, he needs to drop out and endorse Donald Trump.
Otherwise, I don't see him ever making a political comeback.
If he tries to take this thing to the bitter end and go up against Donald Trump and his base, then he's shot politically for the rest of his life.
But if he drops out after this and says, we ran a campaign, I couldn't even get half the votes that Donald Trump got.
Trump's still the guy.
I endorse Donald Trump.
I'm dropping out.
That is the only thing that can save his political future at this point.
Otherwise, he's cooked.
Otherwise, he's cooked.
Now, for Vivek Ramaswamy, you keep running because you're the underdog.
You've put all your chips in.
You got to go all the way at this point.
Haley is obviously the establishment pick at this point.
So if DeSantis is smart, he needs to just drop out and endorse Trump.
But he might not even be control.
He might not even be in control of his political fate at this point.
It might be his donors and the super PACs funding him, which would be, again, a shame because personally, I am a guy that thinks pragmatically and strategically, which for whatever reason is completely lost in the Republican Party.
Well, when you have the likes of Rana McDaniel leading it, and then you have the likes of Mitch McConnell in the Senate and formerly Kevin McCarthy, yeah, you don't get much strategic maneuvering.
But we have a deep base.
Donald Trump, Ron DeSantis, Vivek Ramaswamy, those are three viable candidates, and the Democrats don't have one.
And we'd rather cut each other down so that what?
We can have one viable candidate versus one viable candidate.
It's just not pragmatic or smart.
But that's what DeSantis needs to do.
If DeSantis has any good advisors, they will say, stop running for president, get back to being a great governor of Florida, build up your political capital there again, do great things for Florida, throw some red meat to the voter base, and then endorse Donald Trump.
That's what, if he has any good advisors, that's what they'll be telling him to do.
But to this point, it doesn't look like he has any good advisors.
And that's why he's now neck and neck with Nikki Haley.
But at this point, it looks like he is going to at least beat out Nikki Haley.
So he has a chance.
He can come back.
He can come back for this.
But he needs to drop out and endorse Trump.
If he tries to see this to the bitter end, he's done politically.
But this is what we all knew was going to happen.
Of course.
Of course, Donald Trump was going to win this caucus.
And he's going to win the next primary and the next primary.
And he's going to get the nomination.
Nobody had a chance.
You knew the conservative Republican establishment was going to throw opposition.
They tried DeSantis.
It failed.
Now they're getting behind Haley.
That's going to fail too.
This was always going to be the case.
And that's why it's not hard to talk about Vivek Ramaswamy's campaign because there's no risk.
There's no risk.
And it's odd that people felt like there was some sort of a threat to Donald Trump there.
Again, I saw it as weakness.
When Donald Trump put out that statement against Vivek, I was like, this looks like a man who's weak and scared.
Totally unnecessary.
viveka doesn't have a shot all right yusuf welcome to the rumble rants Thank you for your letters while I was away.
Appreciate that.
I don't know why people marinate my steaks.
I don't know why people don't marinate their steaks.
People eat my steak and they're like, damn, this is one of the best steaks I've ever had homemade.
Yeah, well, I marinate it.
So that's how that goes.
Thank you, Yusuf.
All right, I'm going to open up the phone lines and y'all can call in on whatever you would like.
Remember, ladies and gentlemen, we're coming to you through the Wolfpack.gold microphone, Wolfpack.gold microphone.
Are you a member of the club yet?
Are you a member of the pack yet?
Why not?
Wolfpack.gold.
It's the only subscription that pays you back.
If you don't like having all of your money tied up in the banks and you're looking for hard assets like precious metals, you cannot get a better deal or a better situation than joining the pack at wolfpack.gold.
Tell them I sent you and keep Owen Troyer live on Rumble.
All right.
Let me get the phone number ready here.
The lines are already lighting up, and we'll take calls on.
I'd like to take calls on, I mean, your response to what I'm talking about with this opening caucus and the results and everything else.
But if you want to call in on anything, it's line to line.
I pick up.
I ask you your name, where you're from, and you are on the air.
It really all traces back to kind of my opening theme today.
And I mean, honestly, I can speak for myself.
I don't know if there are many people in the media that have come up through the media and reached success organically as I would say I have.
Now, Alex might be a case, but again, I'm just speaking for myself.
I know I'm real.
I know I'm organic.
And all I can do is go off my track record.
And all I can do is go off my word.
But here's what happens.
When you start to get a little more clout or you start to get a little more notoriety or fame or climb the ladder, let's say, you get a little more exposure, not just from the outside, but on the inside.
And so I remember being younger, I mean, way younger, and assuming things about people and it turning out to be wrong or always thinking the worst about somebody because of my own bias or my own bitterness or whatever, and not necessarily regretting it later in life, but maturing and realizing it was wrong.
So when I see people talking about Alex, Alex has his problems.
He admits to that.
Alex is not a perfect person.
Believe me, me and Alex buttheads.
It's not, I mean, we're like a family there, guys.
And so, but when I see people reaching and jumping to these conclusions about Alex and they're just so wrong and so off base, quite frankly, it's embarrassing.
It's embarrassing.
And what I realized.
Let me just finish here.
Let me finish here.
Because this is an important point.
And I do this.
I only want to lead my audience in the right direction.
You know, when I do monologues like this, it's not to insult anybody.
It's to just try to keep people in the right direction.
So what happens is, and people assume things about me, obviously, too, but that's not the case here.
That's not what I'm going to talk about.
So I see people saying things about Alex that I just know are wrong.
I mean, I just know it.
And what happens is in that moment, they don't realize how embarrassing they look.
They don't realize how dumb they look.
And many times it's people I respect.
And I'll just think, wow, it's a lot harder to take anything you say seriously now because you have this so wrong and you're leaping to conclusions you have no idea about and now all of a sudden I can't respect you in any way shape or form now that comes from my perspective from being there internally and seeing behind the scenes not from an outside perspective so so here's what I've learned along the way and this comes from commentary that I'm doing and
comes from assumptions or insinuations that I might make and what I've realized is you
have to stay focused on the issues and you have to stay focused on the known entities because what ends up happening is if you attack somebody or you jump to conclusions about somebody that you really don't know and then somebody out there that actually does know sees that and knows you're wrong and now you look like an idiot now you've embarrassed yourself and you can never fix that I don't know if I'm I don't know if
I'm explaining this right I don't know you are but may I just elaborate on myself for a second I don't I'm not attacking Alex I'm attacking the Freemasons because they person I have a personal debt with them not a personal vendetta with them they killed my grandfather my grandfather was one and he did SGD uh corporation which is a barter control, it was a barter and trade company, and he was battling the IRS.
He went under house arrest because of the IRS.
Theosophical Society also had they owned the house on the hill in the Bronx.
I talked about this with Harris on the show.
I wish this topic would shed more light on the Freemasons also because I have people asking me about the Freemasons all the time.
You're going to like the people ask questions and they don't like when you break oath and ask questions.
And then they look for people to guide their apprentices with the people that ask the best questions, but yet they don't want the questions asked on their whole sanctity or whatever it is to haram.
My thing is, it's just people want questions being answered and they just want the truth and then they get attacked or they get to understand it.
My question to you is: well, the, I feel like when I first spoke to you three, four years ago, we were talking about a movement and I was like, you guys have the power to do movement.
And unfortunately, the January 6th thing was just set up by the government.
And I really hate people that talk about that.
But what I'm trying to say is, like, maybe that's the movement.
There's a guy on the internet that's exposing Scientology and he's live streaming.
Like, what if everybody just stood in front of these lodges, like Lodge 457, and then this and that, like 70 different lodges in Manhattan, and just were like, yo, we know what you guys do, and we're coming to negotiate with you guys.
Well, we'd like to try to do this politically, and that's what I focus on.
And that's my thing.
So I know other people have their own issues and other people believe that other things are the big issues and we have to do it this way or take care of this first and that's fine.
But I can't sit here and focus on one thing.
There are many angles.
My goal, I have a three-hour talk show.
My goal is to be as accurate as humanly possible and to be as dynamic and agile as possible so that people that tune into my show for three hours, I make it worth their time and they leave my show feeling more informed than when they came in.
And if I sit here and obsess on one degree of a 360 degree picture, then I will not be successful.
I will be a failure and nobody will listen to me.
And then I've done nothing.
That's my mindset.
That's my mindset.
I don't censor anybody.
You can call in and bring up your issue.
I'll respond to it.
I might agree.
I might not.
But here's another thing.
And this goes back to what I'm talking about.
When I see people talking about, I use Alex Jones as the example, but it could be anybody.
When I see people saying things about Alex Jones that I know are just radically wrong and inaccurate, then now I'm looking at them and I have less respect and I assume they're not that bright.
And the same thing happens in media.
Two examples.
And I saw people bring this up in the chat.
A tweet from an individual named Richard Stroker saying, I heard Jews talking yiddish in the basement of my apartment.
I knew there were Jews underground.
That is a fake tweet.
That is so obviously fake.
How could you not see that as fake?
Richard Stroker with like a retard Nick Fuentes face?
I mean, come on, guys.
Now, you're smarter than that.
I know you're smarter than that.
But see, that's what I'm saying.
We're so desperate to find this red meat.
We're so hungry, and I get it, to end the political corruption, to find the loose thread and pull it that we can bring the whole curtain down.
But that's not how this is going to work.
Same thing just happened the other day.
People are sharing a video from 2021 of a ship burning.
It was the Bering Strait or something.
And they're saying, look, they just attacked this ship.
The video's from 2021.
You're falling for fake news now.
And I'm not going to name names on this issue because I still believe these are good people.
I see people I respect that are doing good things in the media and coming up in their own in the media.
I'm not here to tear them down.
I'm here to watch them succeed.
I want them to build up, but they share fake news all the time.
And I'm just like, why are you doing this?
But see, that's just me trying to get a perspective to you guys.
I want to be as accurate as possible.
I don't want to ever report something wrong because then somebody might view me as a fraud and never tune in again.
I don't want to leap to conclusions about somebody because I'm desperate to pull or yank some thread or find some controlled opposition and just be 100% off base because other people know that individual and know that's wrong.
So I don't play that game.
It's beneath us.
We're smarter than that.
We're better than that.
We have to be more sophisticated than that if we're going to save this country, quite frankly.
But I get it.
I know we're punch drunk.
I know we're desperate to save this country, that any chance you have, it feels like you're drowning to try to grab a life raft or grab the loose thread and pull the whole curtain down.
But when you operate from that state of mind, you can be easily deceived.
And we cannot do that.
All right, we're going to be hearing from Trump any minute now.
Well, I mean, I really like the material of all your other, you know what I mean?
Like I got both sets of shirts, like the more cotton ones.
And actually just today, I was wearing the black long sleeve one with like it was more of like the, I guess you call it like the under armor type material.
Oh, yeah, no, absolutely, no, no, no, none but positive uh reviews there, but um, uh, what I want to call in and say, you know, you talk about, um, I just kind of wanted to maybe switch base, and I wanted to talk about the um my opinion about the whole Trump kind of calling out uh Vivaik, uh, you know, the other day or whatever.
And, you know, even though, like, I still think Trump is my number one guy, like you've said, you know, like, I just think he's been really making a lot of bad moves, and I think that might have been the worst one because I just, I mean, to me, and I've heard you talk about it, I just don't understand why it seems as though Trump continues to want to go after the more like boomer, like Fox News viewer as opposed to.
I understand what you mean, but I just think it's a huge mistake, especially for somebody like V. Vake that's really, you know what I mean, said nothing but praise for Donald Trump.
And even though I'm not totally, you know, I still am about 50-50 on V. Vake.
But see, but that's the beauty of it is that we don't have to be all in on V. Vake.
He's not anywhere near the White House.
It's like, let's see what we got here.
Let's support his rhetoric when he's right on target and let's let him bring in the youth vote, change the future of the Republican Party because it's only a good thing.
I just, I don't understand how people don't have this vision.
It's like, oh my gosh, oh my gosh, Vivake's a plant.
He's this, he's that.
He's not anywhere near any political power at all.
And I think honestly, like how you touched on a little bit before, like supporting V. Vake and trying to push him further and further is almost like a win-win situation because I feel like if he is the real deal, he could eventually turn into a very viable candidate for our movement.
But if he ends up being a fraud, I feel like, you know, it would kind of just like almost show itself and work.
That's why it was so upsetting for me when I saw Trump attack him like that, because it's like that was the perfect opportunity to give Ramaswamy the chance to earn political capital.
Hopefully, if Trump gets into the White House, he creates a position and he gives it to Vivek Ramaswamy.
And then Ramaswamy can prove himself.
Is he the real deal?
Is he actually going to abolish all the corruption in the federal institutions, if not abolish them altogether, or not?
It was the perfect thing.
And these are all the people trying to destroy Trump.
And Vivek's going after him harder than Trump is.
And it's just like, what in the world?
unidentified
And now it's just like the whole thing has been completely blown up.
And by the way, let me put one other thing out there.
And thank you so much for this call.
Folks, we have to embrace this debate.
This debate is healthy.
We don't need to turn off.
We don't need to hide in our shells.
We don't need to assume the worst or shut down because somebody might have a different idea or thought of you politically.
We have to embrace this debate.
We have to embrace this debate and we have to take it all the way because there is no political debate and political debate sharpens political vision and opportunity.
And if we shy away from debate, then we just become like the liberals that shy away from the debate.
And so we cannot do that.
We got, by the way, we got some heavy hitters in the Rumble Rants chat today.
We got Forrest Mommy in here tonight.
I saw some heavy hitting names in here.
We got Invalid Cookie in here tonight.
We got Buck Fiden in here tonight.
Man, we got some big, heavy hitters.
We got some big, heavy hitters.
By the way, I noticed people are talking about, like, we don't like the black curtain behind you.
Well, first of all, I'm not a big glitz and glamour guy.
I'm really not.
What I want to be the thrust of my broadcast is what I say, not what you're looking at.
But nonetheless, if you want me to have a better remote studio where I can go live, just one man, one live show, then go shop at OwensroyerStore.com or go to, yeah, go to owenschroyerstore.com.
There are a bunch of ways there to support this.
Otherwise, you're going to just get the old black curtain behind it, which I actually like.
But there you go.
Yeah, the gotcha pants.
You played that game with your friends.
If you hit them with the circle under the waist, you get to punch them in the arm.
So now you just get to walk around with it.
You can punch them in the arm all day long.
By the way, or you can just go here and that'll lead you to a personal give, send, go, which goes towards basically, you know, some either personal emergency needs, but mostly if I need any funds to continue to build this remote studio.
But that's all at owenschroyer.store.
By the way, I'm thinking about, because I said last time I was on here that we're going to do limited drops every month.
And every month there would be new products at the store.
And then after that month is gone, all the products are gone.
I might take a different route next month, depending on the success of how this goes.
I might just start loading the store with all kinds of stuff.
Like I might just decide we're going to have 30 different shirt designs.
So I don't know if you guys want to comment on that in the Rumble chat or in the Twitter chat.
But I don't know.
We might do that.
We might just load the store up with like 30 different shirts.
But yes, I want to call in about the Vivek situation.
So, you know, I mean, he would have had the chance to, you know, do all of those things I think that we're talking about, but I think people are kind of missing maybe the point of why Trump was so upset about that, right?
So it's kind of like, you know, he thought he was going to be able to outmarket Trump is kind of like the way I'm taking this.
So like, you know, the overarching theme that I think here, and that I'm really kind of hammering on with a lot of the stuff that I do is that, you know, if you're not supporting Trump right now, like, what are you really supporting?
I mean, like, what does that really even say?
You know, it's kind of even like that one caller, like, you know, going down the road of the Freemasons and these Zionists, these lunatics that want to call in about this stuff and bang on that drum.
I mean, we got serious issues.
The election is like, I mean, like, six months away.
I mean, I don't know for lack of a, you know, how many months I can't count out, but I mean, it's not that far away, right?
But see, okay, so, so, okay, so I get what you're saying with that, but but my thing is, I don't understand how Trump doesn't have the political maturity to lay off that and realize that Vivek wasn't going to take any votes from Trump.
It goes to the infighting, which, you know, goes to the whole entire theme of this whole thing, which is the infighting is doing nothing but diluting the support for Trump.
And it's not even support for Trump.
Everybody gets this twisted.
Like, it's support for yourself.
I mean, how was your life four years ago under Trump?
It's not about Trump.
Like, people just get lost in this whole, oh, you know, you're supporting Trump and this and that.
I'm supporting like the years that the last four years.
I'm sorry, you know, the four years that we had under Trump.
That's what I'm supporting.
I'm not supporting Trump.
I don't care.
You know, I, you know, I don't care about anything.
If people just get lost in this, like, you're supporting Trump, you're supporting Trump.
Well, it's plan C. My theory on this real quick is that it's plan C. You know, they're going to now, I mean, with this overwhelming, you know, the caucus situation, it's overwhelming for Trump.
Well, and I'll tell you what, now that you bring this up, you got my brain.
You've got some things churning in my brain now because remember, the Democrats moved their caucus back.
It used to be in Iowa and they moved it back and now it's New Hampshire.
And now I'm starting to think, and time will tell if my theory here is right.
It won't be too long.
Now I'm starting to think they might have done this to see if Nikki Haley had a real shot or not.
Because I think Vivek is right.
I think Nikki Haley is actually the puppet establishment candidate, not even a Democrat.
I think it's a Republican.
It's Nikki Haley.
And so now that they know, now that they know that Nikki Haley does not have a shot to get the Republican nomination, maybe now they make a move on the Democrat side.
And maybe now we see what's really going to emerge from the Democrats.
Or they're just going to have to get behind Biden again.
But still, I think that if we have somebody who is not financed by the left and not the uniparty, you know, we, you know, you, you were saying earlier that, hey, we should give him, you know, a fair chance.
I mean, obviously he's not our candidate, but that doesn't mean destroy the man, right?
So I just wish she would have backed off him a little bit.
I could see Nikki Haley, you know, she's, she's uniparty establishment.
I think Ron DeSantis, I think many, many of us would have happily voted for him in 2028, right?
And I bet, and I bet Trump could have put his political differences with DeSantis aside, and he could have even been Trump's VP.
unidentified
Exactly, exactly.
And I think, you know, and again, the whole loyalty thing, he showed, he showed everyone he wasn't loyal, but I think he would have definitely had a fair shake.
So I can see kind of going after them a little bit, but just attacking other influencers for being around Vivek's circle.
Every time she has a story, she sends me 100 texts.
But, you know, here's the other thing that I actually respect about Laura in all of this is that I could be wrong, but I don't remember her ever coming off and saying, oh, all these people are paid for by Vivek.
Here's where DeSantis messed up and where Vivek had vision.
The reason why Candace Owens and the reason why Benny Johnson and all these people are following Vivek's campaign is because he has an open platform.
He's easily reachable.
You can hop on his campaign trail and follow him around and get exclusive interviews.
He gives access to the people.
Nobody else is doing that.
DeSantis could have run that campaign.
Instead, he decided to cozy up.
He's got the people out.
Exactly.
Instead, he decided to cozy up with the Republican establishment and then he just created, put a target on his back.
And so unfortunately, but that's what it is.
Look, I can't say for a fact.
I mean, I've talked to Vivek's campaign.
They've never offered me any money.
So I can't say for a fact that these individuals aren't getting paid for by Vivek's campaign, but I would say with 99% certainty, none of these people are being paid for by Vivek's campaign.
They're just following.
They're following a populist movement and a populist candidate who's saying all the right things that my generation of conservatives have been waiting to become talking points on the Republican Party platform.
And so that's what I see is going on.
I see it's fully organic.
And people that are claiming he's getting paid are either that they're getting paid are either projecting or just in denial that Vivek's running a great campaign.
unidentified
Yeah.
Yeah.
And I, and I just, I wish, you know, we all knew he wasn't going to get it, right?
He, but cut the guy.
Oh, I mean, I understand the t-shirts, the kids in the t-shirts.
Yeah, that's a little, that, that was a little bit of a stretch.
By the way, Sean A. Fong, admit it, Owen, you're just afraid of the conclusion Richard Stroker's momentous efforts are escalating towards Richard Stroker.
I mean, whoever did that, I'll tell you, the fakes that get put up on Twitter, the effort and the accuracy that goes into tricking these people is very impressive.
But, like, again, that's what I'm saying.
It's just like, that should have been so obvious.
And we're smarter than that.
You're smarter than that.
I had people sending me that, like, oh, look at this.
It's real.
And I'm like, Richard Stroker with like an edited, retarded picture of Nick Fuentes.
Like, come on, guys.
I mean, like, let's not just fall for anything here.
We're not that desperate.
We need to be, we need to have a stronger foundation.
We need to be stronger intellectually.
But yeah, Richard Stroker, he heard Yiddish in his basement for weeks.
He heard Yiddish.
He heard Jews running around in his basement.
It was all very real.
That was one of the better, that was one of the better deep fakes, though.
That was a classic one.
That one had me laughing for sure from Richard Stroker.
So I think with everything that's going on right now, I'm twisted here.
There's a lot of people who are saying like Vivek is just not genuine.
I find that extremely hard to believe.
I think to pull off some like psyop injected candidate that is as articulate as himself and seemingly genuine after kind of being vetted by so many people and speaking with so many people and being pressed on the fly so much.
And I would much rather see where this guy goes than jump to any conclusions and destroy a potential great addition to the Republican Party for the future.
unidentified
I would totally give him a shot.
I would love him to be a frontrunner.
But on a deeper note, I honestly don't foresee the election even happening.
Well, I think that there's so much on the table.
I've heard it somewhere before.
It's like a kid playing a game of checkers, and it's just they're getting romped so bad.
And you know, I guess if that analogy is what we're going with, I guess 2020 is they didn't flip, they didn't flip the board, but they gave us the old, oh my gosh, what is that?
And then when we turned around, they put an extra rook on their side, they put an extra bishop on their side, they put it, you know what I mean?
unidentified
Yeah.
So it's like, really, what's next?
We can get it to all sorts of hypotheticals, but I think it's more of like a we have to look at what's happening around the world.
We have a solicitation for major global conflict.
We're like asking for it.
We're getting involved in biblical class turmoil.
Got inflation through the roof.
We got fucking crazy manipulated viruses coming around and predicted viruses with potential vaccines for stuff we don't even know what it is yet.
Which, by the way, which, by the way, and the Trump apologists won't like to go down this road, Donald Trump barely likes to talk about the man-made virus.
I mean, he talks about it, he talks about it coming out of a Wuhan lab, but he doesn't, he doesn't hone in on it being a bioweapon made in a lab by design.
unidentified
Vivaik does that's huge.
That's a big differentiator.
Um, I got a lot of beef to pick with Trump over warp speed.
I'll be completely honest with you.
Um, I mean, the flip side of that, though, is a bunch of leftists are just quadruple jobs, which is great, it's disgusting.
This was on CNN right before the results started going.
A poll from the Republican caucus.
Do you think Biden legitimately won the election in 2028?
68 percent of people in a cnn entrance poll said no yeah So what does that tell you?
To people that say Vivek is the establishment plant, I'd love to understand why then all the establishment news sources don't even put him on the results page.
If he was the establishment guy, they'd want you to know about him and they'd want to put him up there.
Why would they be ignoring him if he was the establishment pick?
Now, I already know the mental gymnastics that the Trump loyalists, everybody bad but Trump.
I've got it figured out about Vivaik more than anybody else.
I already know what they're going to say.
unidentified
Well, they're just doing that because they know that's what they want and they want to trick us by not showing us.
And so they know that not by putting him on there, then they think we can trust him.
I don't know if people actually believe what they're saying.
I think they're just into trying to come up with the wildest scenarios that they can imagine just to, you know, kind of be popular or maybe get some attention.
But what concerns me, and this is real serious, is Vivek has been saying this a lot.
And he says this on Alex's interviews is that I think he calls it the deep state.
They won't allow Trump to get near the White House.
Well, and here's my here's where I disagree with Vivek's logic on that.
And I don't disagree with, I don't disagree with his conclusion, but the logic is: well, if they're not going to let Trump get near the White House, why would they let Vivek get near the White House?
So it's like, dude, they're not going to let you either.
Well, that idea has been floated out there and in some way, shape, or form, even communicated by a DeSantis and a Haley and a Ramaswamy, as you mentioned earlier.
But see, that's the problem.
If we know that it's that corrupt and the system is that corrupted and against Donald Trump, then why wouldn't these people be supporting Donald Trump?
Or why wouldn't they make statements like Ramaswamy says, which is if you take Donald Trump off the ballot, then I went off the ballot too because I, you know, we need to stand for Donald Trump.
So to me, if you say, oh, I'm running because I think they're going to take Trump off the ballot, well, then you're basically cheering for Trump to be off the ballot.
But I mean, Vivek has to go, say, if Trump's not on the ballot, I'm not either, you know, but I think the other two, DeSantis, you know, and the Nagger, I think they're really against Trump.
They're sold out to the deep state.
Vivek, I don't think he is, but that might answer some of that question.
But I hope that something like that don't happen to Trump because I think that might push the boiling pot over the edge, if you know what I mean, if they take him out.
But basically, the insinuation I made was that the reason things are heating up in the Middle East again and the reason why ISIS is back in the Middle East again is because they laundered all the money and all the weapons through Ukraine.
Trump got rid of ISIS, not even necessarily through strategic strikes.
There were strategic strikes, but that wasn't even what did it.
All you had to do to get rid of ISIS was cut their funding and cut their weapons.
And Trump did that.
Well, all the money and weapons that went through Ukraine ended up back in the hands of ISIS.
And so those proxy groups, those CIA proxy groups, Western-backed proxy groups, are back operating in the Middle East.
Yeah, the DeSantis fall from grace is truly disappointing.
And all these conservatives, again, it just infuriates me.
I try not to get into it because I really look at myself as rising above it and just kind of levitating above this ground game.
But I mean, to sit here for conservatives and Trump supporters to sit here and act like DeSantis wasn't a great governor, you're just being dishonest.
You're just being completely dishonest.
He was the best governor during the COVID bull crap.
That doesn't mean he was perfect, but he was the best.
And just look at what it did for Florida.
Florida is now a red state and the top destination for people moving states.
It's Florida.
unidentified
Yeah, and they've paid off 25% of their debt.
I mean, you really couldn't ask for anything better.
It's just, Trump just destroyed him.
And it's just, I think he'd be a fantastic president.
You know, I was kind of going to support Trump just because I feel like he got robbed out of the first time, but maybe I still think Trump may pick DeSantis for the VP.
I believe that, oh boy, I would say the leading frontrunner in my book is probably Ben Carson.
But I think how this goes, the reason why Trump has already picked a VP is because it's not an individual who's running for office or who has, or who is currently in office.
So to me, anybody who's running or is in office, I don't think that they are, I don't think that they are Trump's pick.
I think it's somebody who's not in office and not running for office.
So I think Ben Carson, maybe Tim Scott, I'm not a fan.
He's all right, I guess.
Wouldn't be the worst.
Tucker Carlson, I don't think Tucker wants that position.
So no.
Some people talk about Tudor Dixon, maybe Sarah Huckabee Sanders.
That kind of goes against my logic because I believe she's a governor right now, if I'm not mistaken.
You know, and yeah, so I just hope DeSantis can get his career back.
I think he's earned it.
You know, that's just me.
I know everybody's hating on him, but if you could name the top five things, the top five things that you would want out of the conservative president, he's done it as governor.
The teachers' unions are decimated.
The DEI has ripped out all the state universities.
And I really think this is time now for everybody, our country to come together.
We want to come together.
Whether it's Republican or Democrat or liberal or conservative, it would be so nice if we could come together and straighten out the world and straighten out the problems and straighten out all of the death and destruction that we're witnessing.
That's practically never been like this.
It's just so important.
And I want to make that a very big part of our message.
And when he says endorse, we're really talking about 2015.
He endorsed me before, actually, long before I knew I was going to run.
I said, who's this man in Iowa?
He's a senator, a state senator.
He's a good-looking guy, too.
Doesn't he look?
You could pay him and give him a lot of money.
And by the way, Mr. Chairman, I want to thank you for being here.
You are so great.
Comes all the way from Missouri, which isn't that far.
Can't drive an electric car that far, though.
Thank you very much.
I appreciate it very much.
The group of people that we have on the stage is just emblematic of the tremendous group that we've had.
We've had such a great team.
You know, we did well.
We were looking really good in 2016.
And just to go back to the senator, he was saying, I said, who is that guy, Brad, his name?
Who is he?
He keeps endorsing me.
He keeps saying Trump.
And I didn't even know I was running.
He endorsed me four months before I knew I was running, about four months before the escalade ride down with our great first lady.
And that was Brad.
I said, who is he?
So he was the first one.
But we have people that are so incredible.
You're Republican Party chairman Bobby Kaufman and his son, who is a brilliant guy, and he worked with us.
And I will tell you, that is a family of real professionals.
Matt Whitaker, who is the very talented and very good Attorney General.
Where is Matt?
He's around here someplace, and he's been with us all the way.
You know, we have a man that was very impressive.
And I say there's nothing wrong with it.
He's so solid and so good that he didn't catch on.
Sometimes being a little controversial is good.
He's so perfect.
Although he did break his leg during the campaign, that wasn't so good.
But it sort of stood out a little bit, Doug.
But Doug Bergham from North Dakota, the governor, and his beautiful wife, Catherine.
And he got out of the race.
What people don't know is that he actually supported me on the other side twice already, right?
Then he decided to do it.
And he was outstanding.
But the traction is never easy, right?
You need controversy for traction sometimes.
And this guy is the most solid guy.
There's no controversy whatsoever.
And he's one of the best governors in our country.
And I hope that I'm going to be able to call on him to be a piece of the administration, a very important piece of the administration.
And also, just to conclude with this, the entire Trump team, and that includes my two boys who are really here all the time whenever we needed them.
Whenever we needed them.
They are great.
Eric and Don.
And look at all these people.
Susie, I have to say.
And Chris.
Chris.
And they want no accolades.
They just want a victory and they want to make America great again.
That's all they want, actually.
They don't want to be speaking.
They don't want to have pictures.
They just want to do their job, right?
I want to thank you very much, Jason, everybody.
You're really fantastic.
What a job you've done.
Thank you.
So we're going to come together.
We're going to drill baby drill right away.
Draw baby drill.
We're going to seal up the border.
Because right now we have an invasion.
We have an invasion of millions and millions of people that are coming into our country.
I can't imagine why they think that's a good thing.
It's a very bad thing.
I think it's a group of people that are probably larger in number than New York State.
And we can't have that.
We can't have that.
It's not sustainable as a country.
It's horrible.
And you know, they're coming from prisons and jails.
They're coming from all over.
They're coming from countries that most people have never heard of.
And they're coming from mental institutions and insane asylums.
They're being emptied out into our country.
And they're terrorists.
Many terrorists are coming in.
You know, in 2019, I saw just recently on a poll, they had none in 2019, no terrorists.
Now, I even say there's got to be some, but they have none.
And then as soon as this group took over, they have hundreds and hundreds of terrorists coming in, known terrorists, some of them really bad.
And many of them are in, and they came in, and nobody knows where they are.
This is not a good thing.
And we're going to have to deport.
We're going to have to have a deportation level that we haven't seen in this country for a long time, since Dwight Eisenhower, actually.
So I don't want to be overly rough on the president, but I have to say that he is the worst president that we've had in the history of our country.
He's destroying our country.
And, you know, my wife attended the funeral two months ago of Rosalind Carter.
And it was beautiful.
And Jimmy Carter was there.
And I thought to myself, Jimmy Carter is happy now because he will go down as being a brilliant president by comparison to Joe Biden.
He'll be a brilliant president.
He's going to be known as brilliant by comparison.
So we have to stop the invasion.
We have to bring down our energy.
We have to say, you know, we have, I say all the time, we have more liquid gold under our feet than any other nation anywhere in the world.
And we have to stop the crime and we have to help rebuild our cities and we have to rebuild the capital.
Washington, D.C., I was there on one of the Biden indictment trials.
You know, this is the only person this ever happened before.
But I go to a lot of courthouses because of Biden, because they're using that for election interference.
And it's on things like election.
And I don't know if you know, but they did polls tonight on the election of 2020.
Do you believe it was honest or not?
82% said.
82% said it was not.
And we can't have that, Chairman.
We can't have that.
You can't have a situation like that.
So we're going to straighten out our elections.
We're going to do a lot of great things.
We're going to try and go to paper ballots as soon as possible.
Voter ID.
One day, one day.
Elections.
You know, we have these elections that last for 62 days.
And if you need some more time, take as much time as you want.
And so many bad things happen.
We have to get rid of mail-in ballots because once you have mail-in ballots, you have crooked elections.
Actually, Jimmy Carter's commission said that a long time ago.
We're going to rescue our economy.
We're going to save our economy.
We had the greatest economy in the history of our country.
There was never a greater economy.
And now we don't.
And when you look at what's happened with inflation, inflation is destroying, you know, they call it a country killer.
Going back hundreds of years, Germany, countries that had big inflation are dead.
They become dead countries.
We have to stop that immediately.
And we want peace through strength.
Russia would have never attacked Ukraine, would have never done it.
Putin and I get along fine.
We get along very well.
That's a good thing, not a bad thing.
The fake news, which I would, if the fake news would become real and honest news, 90% of our problems in this country would be solved.
They would be solved.
So Russia would have never attacked.
Israel would have never been attacked.
The Ukraine situation is so horrible.
The Israeli situation is so horrible.
What's happened?
And we're going to get him solved.
We're going to get him solved very fast.
I actually said, Ukraine, I know President Putin very well.
I know Zelensky very well.
I'm going to get him in.
We're going to get it solved very quickly.
It should have never happened.
Would have never happened.
Now you have all that death, far greater than people understand.
The numbers are far, far greater than anybody would even think possible.
You're going to find that out in the years to come.
When they knocked down these massive buildings in Ukraine and then you see they announced two people were slightly wounded.
No, no, many people were killed.
Many people were killed.
We're going to get it stopped.
But it's so sad because it should have never started.
People killed and a culture destroyed.
You can never replace thousand-year-old buildings with the most beautiful golden domes and churches and everything, just all rubble now.
And it's so sad, would have never, ever happened.
And likewise, Israel would have never been attacked.
It all comes from Iran, and we would have had a deal with Iran very quickly, had the election where we, by the way, got, and I say we because it's all we, we got more votes than any sitting president in the history of our country.
But they say we lost by a whisker, okay?
But regardless, regardless of that, we're going to do incredible things, and we're not going to let China do what they'd like to do.
I get along great with him also.
President Xi is a very strong leader, and we're going to get things solved.
We're going to get the Ukraine war solved.
We're going to get the Israeli situation solved.
But if you think back to that, Iran was broke.
I said to every country, anybody does business with Iran, buys oil from Iran.
They were broke.
We're not going to let you do business in the United States.
And that's the way it is.
They did very little business, almost sold no oil.
Nobody wanted to do that.
That's a big penalty.
And what happened is they had no money to give to Hamas and to give to Hezbollah.
And in fact, there were a lot of stories at the time.
They had no money for terror.
And for four years, we had no terror.
We had the terror ban.
We had the terror ban.
They called it the Trump travel ban, but it was really the Trump terror ban.
We don't want people in our country that are going to blow up our shopping centers.
Thank you very much.
And we want a country of law and order.
So we're going to rebuild the capital of our country, Washington, D.C. We're going to scrub those beautiful marble columns and get the swastikers off them.
And we're going to scrub them and get the graffiti off them.
And we're going to clean the streets and we're going to rebuild the streets.
And we're not going to have rusted medians through the middle that are falling down into the roads where foreign dignitaries from all over the world come and they look.
And we're not going to be riding on top of garbage like I did just a month ago, riding on top of garbage.
We're going to rebuild our beautiful Washington, D.C., and we're going to take control of it.
And we're going to make unbelievably harsh penalties for people that go around shooting.
Last week they shot three people, and every night something happens.
It's so sad.
And likewise, we're going to rebuild our cities and we'll work with the Democrats to do it.
I'd be glad to work with the people in New York.
We're going to work with the people in Chicago and LA.
We're going to rebuild our cities and we're going to make them safe.
And we're going to give our police officers immunity.
So every time they do something, they don't get sued and stopped.
We're going to end crime in our cities.
In Iowa, you don't know what that means, but I'll tell you, this is a different place.
You don't know about crime.
You don't know about getting mugged and getting whacked and getting thrown into subways.
And we're going to stop it.
And we're going to come down very hard on criminals.
And we're going to stop crime in America.
So I want to just finish by saying that this has been an incredible experience.
The people have been, this is the third time we've won.
But this is the biggest one.
They said, well, if you win by 12%, that's a big win.
That's going to be very hard to do.
Well, I think we've more than doubled that, I guess.
Tripled it, maybe.
They said, you'll never get over 50%.
And I just left and we're at 54.
Now, I don't know what's going to happen with it.
But they said, you can't do that, sir.
I said, what's about the highest?
Well, you could get into the 40s, maybe 40, 41.
And then I look up, and, you know, it's very interesting.
I didn't know they called it early.
I thought that they called it at about 10 o'clock.
They want America, you know, they want us to be great again.
It's a very simple MAGA, make America great again.
And America first.
America first is a very important part of America.
So we're going to put America first.
We're going to make America great again.
Again, Iowa, we love you.
You are going to, oh, you just go out and buy larger tractors and more land.
Don't worry about it.
And to all of the people standing behind me and all of the people in this room and so many great politicians and great dignitaries and friends, I just want to thank you all.
This is a very special night.
And this is the first because the big night is going to be in November when we take back our country and truly we do make our country great again.
Thank you very much, everybody.
Great honor.
Thank you very much.
Thank you.
