Trump Jr. responds to rumors that RFK Jr. will endorse Trump, join the administration

There have been rumors lately that RFK Jr. is debating whether to suspend his presidential campaign and endorse Donald Trump in order to stop Kamala Harris from winning the White House. If so, he may also try and get a position in the Trump administration. Presidential transition team member Donald Trump Jr. joins Glenn with his thoughts: “I love the idea of giving him some sort of role in a major 3-letter entity and letting him blow it up.” Don Jr. also weighs in on the chaos at the DNC and why he believes Kamala Harris is “the most powerful VP we’ve had”.

GLENN: Welcome to the program the Trump organization, vice president, and host of triggered with Don Jr.

Donald Trump Jr.

Hey, Don, how are you?

DONALD: How is it going? It's good to be with you guys.

GLENN: It's good to be with you. I just talked to your sister-in-law, Lara, last hour. And we got the take on the convention. I don't know what their bold vision is. But based on the number of times they talked about your father, I think the bold vision for America is Donald Trump. I think that's what they're selling. I don't know, appeal. Because I got --

DONALD: It's sort of hard to believe. I haven't heard a vision. I have seen a lot of projection. I mean, the one that really got me was watching this lady, she got up there. Hysterical, saying that, you know, if Donald Trump gets in there, he would do the unthinkable. And he would weaponize the Justice Department against his political enemies.
(laughter)

DONALD: To arrest him -- and I'm sitting there thinking, oh, my God. Honestly, Glenn. I don't know. Do they -- do they not know?

Have they not been watching for the last three years? I mean, it's really mind-boggling.

GLENN: It is.

DONALD: They think that they're doing the right thing, and that it's totally within the norm. And if we responded even remotely in kind, that that would be some sort of violation of the standards that they've been breaking for years now. It's mind-boggling to me, I can't figure it out.

GLENN: I know.

We think that they either think that they're invincible at this point, and they can say anything. Or they believe in the Hitler line.

Repeat a lie long enough. And it becomes the truth.

Or they're just -- they just think they're -- their voters are just dumb as a box of rocks.

But that's the only answers --

DONALD: I think they are. You have no choice but to believe that at this point. Just look at them. I'm looking at the DNC, both inside and out.

And I can't imagine too many Americans, you know, want their children growing up in a country like that. There's fires and looting and rioting.

They don't know what to agree upon, amongst themselves. They're supporting terror organizations.

And they're giving out. I made a joint on my podcast. On rumble. A couple of weeks ago.

About, hey, guys. The people who have been screaming about democracy there.

They're shoving into your face, putting in Kamala Harris. She got zero votes. They overwrote the process. They set up a coup. They really want to preserve democracy. Vote Donald Trump.

He will fix the economy. He will stop the wars. And, you know, in four short years, you can go back to trying to do your drive-through abortions and all the other nonsense.

And I said it, tongue-in-cheek. And there's literally an abortion and vasectomy. To be clear, I'm not entirely against the vasectomy ban for the people at the DNC that I've seen so far. You know, I have to be honest. It's probably a solid idea.

I think they should use it, and perhaps we should raise the money to make sure it's available to them at all times for free.

But immediately, they're literally trying to make a parody of some of these things. They're actually doing those things.

It's mind-boggling.

GLENN: I know. I know. I know.

And nobody is talking about what's outside, besides the vasectomy trucks. And that's the extremist groups.

There was some research that came out from Capitol Research Center. And they had a very, very tight description of terrorist groups.

It has to be somebody who has actually said or pledged support to one of these terrorist organizations like al-Qaeda.

They found 150 of these, that support terrorism, or identify as Marxists, communists, or -- I can't say it.

Somebody who is into anarchy. And have -- have said that they are coming out, to collapse the -- the government.

And you have -- you have these groups, passing things out. Armed resistance is the only answer. And Israel. Stand with Hamas.

They're standing with the Muslim Brotherhood. The Communist Party of the Philippines. The Taliban.

It's crazy, and nobody is talking about it

DONALD: Well, and no one is talking about the obvious, which is Kamala Harris hasn't done an interview in a month.

They are letting her run to Joe Biden. Hide her into a basement campaign.

To understand, she doesn't have, you know, the personality to actually do these things proper. But think of how insane that is.

They are then usurping some of our ideas. But they go totally contrary to everything that Kamala voted for. You know, she's not going to do taxes on tips now, but she was the tie-breaking vote in the Inflation Reduction Act, which usually put 86,000 IRS agents in there, who literally go after people, to make sure that their tips were being taxed.

You know, and no one -- no one says a word. You know, she said, she will shut down the border.

Well, what has she been doing? Glenn, I would argue, she's the most powerful vice president we've probably had, certainly in recent times.

Because she's serving under someone who we all acknowledge now, even the left acknowledges is totally inept.

He's been incapacitated for his entire presidency. She could have done any one of the things she's talking about doing. But it's -- it's insane. Why isn't she doing what she's doing? You could have done it over the last three and a half years.

Oh, you're going to do it now? Why don't you start today? You don't have to wait until January 20th. You are literally the most powerful person in government. Because it ain't Joe Biden. He's not even president.

GLENN: Yeah, I know. I know.

So you've been named to the transition team, for your father. And can you give me some idea? Are you looking for people, or will you put people in, that truly understand the depth of the Deep State, and people that are willing to fire all of these people? I mean, it's going to take -- excuse my expression -- balls of steel to do this.

DONALD: Yeah. Oh, yeah. That's literally why I wanted to be on transition. It's literally not to appoint actually a single person. It's to block all of the bad actors. And there's plenty of them.

That's the difference between now and '16. '16, we didn't know. At the time, there was 4,000 divisions in the book, and that's the book that the president assigns these roles. It's like, we didn't know any of them.

My father had spent 2 days in DC in his entire life, prior to winning the presidency. We had no idea, where to start.

Now we know, we have seen the bad actors. We have seen the ones who tell you they will be loyal. Five minutes after they win. They put out a nice tweet, negating seven years of hate. Those are the guys, the ones that are your supposed friends. They're actually much worse than the Democrats. Because you assume they're actually doing the right thing by you. Because they supposedly do these things. But even if they believe them, they're subverting you across the way. So -- but I got on there. My father got on there. The first thing he said, yeah. Those people aren't getting jobs. We don't want them in our administration. We don't need that.

We have four years to fix something. Now we have an understanding of how that works. We know who the good people are and the bad people are. So, you know, hey. Yeah, beyond the 4,000 jobs, there's tens of thousands of jobs. So I don't know they will be perfect -- as perfect as it possibly can be.

GLENN: Well, I am hoping that the price of housing in the DC area collapses, because you're -- your father has won. And everybody knows, oh, crap. They're just going to be cutting all these jobs. And there's plenty of housing for people, that are living around the Capitol.

The endorsement from RFK, do you think that's coming?

DONALD: I hope so. You know, I think RFK is a smart guy. I think he actually has very good views on certain things. There are some things we are going to disagree with him on. But I think it shows sort of a unity against literally -- you know, before I hopped on, the communism that we are up against. It's not hyperbole anymore. It's not you like, they're just a little more left than us. It's not -- you know, these people. She was talking about, we want -- she was saying, we want to set up this, and we will be auditing businesses. And we will take away your businesses. And we will take away your children if we can't do drive-through, you know, transgender surgeries for minors without parental consent. They've lost their minds!

And so you know, I love the idea, I love the idea of giving him some sort of role and some sort of major, you know, three-letter entity, or whatever it may be, and blow it up. I think that's what we need.

And so I think that kind of unity, even where there may be disagreements on certain things. I think it can be a really great asset for that. I think it could bring people together.

And I think it shows, a strong -- a strong opposition to what we're up against. Which is just abject insanity. And I think if we had real unity, across independence and others in America, to stand up for what we know is coming, what the media is doing a very good job, hiding from us. That is just the reality of the Kamala Harris platform.

GLENN: It's amazing.

DONALD: Which is just a continuation of the Biden administration's platform. You know, we don't need another four years at this.

What's unique with this election. We had four years under Trump. We had four years under Biden. When were you better off?

It's sort of a no-brainer. And yet, when you're up against the trillion dollar institution of ten trillion dollars of mainstream media, functioning as the marketing arm of the Democrat Party. You know, it's hard to get a fair shake. And so we have to expose that. And the more people that we had on board, the better. So I certainly would be open and welcome to the idea, frankly.

GLENN: I have to tell you, and I asked your sister-in-law this about an hour ago. You know, there are things coming out of the White House right now. For instance, new nuclear strategy, to go against China, Russia, and North Korea, at the same time.

Nuclear solutions.

And there's no way, this president got up in the morning, and said, you know what, I'm worried about this.

And we have to put these things. Who is the president of the United States? Because the person that is controlling it now. Is going to be the person that controls it, when Kamala gets in.

And it doesn't seem like it matters to anyone. That this guy isn't running the country right now. Who is?

DONALD: I couldn't tell you. I assume it's one of the Obama lackeys, Susan Rice or Valerie Jarrett, or some of the really bad actors that we've seen, you know, working abroad. You know, starting wars and, you know, continuing them forever.

But think about that. I mean, coming up with nuclear plans. Now, we are much closer to nuclear war, and that is even according to the Biden administration. And we have since the missile crisis, but we made that happen.

You know, we gave Putin every excuse he needed to invade Ukraine. I'm not saying he's a good guy. I'm not saying he wouldn't have done it maybe eventually, anyway.

But the deal breaker was always moving NATO into Ukraine, so we had a 500 -- you know, thousand-mile long buffer zone.

And said, you know what, we'll put NATO right on Russia's border. So if they were going to do it, we certainly gave them every excuse imaginable. You know, they had a peace deal ready, early on in this thing.

They would have signed it. But, no, no, no, we wanted to keep the war machine going.

The war machine watched, you know, Big Pharma get rich during COVID. And said, no, no, no. It's our turn back at the trough. We hadn't had a war in six weeks. You know, it's time to make some more money again. It's asinine.

But these people are morons, and they have no incentive to actually get to peace. Right?

You stop this war, by cutting off the money. The second that goes away, they're at the table in two seconds. Certainly, Zelinsky is. And that's how you will negotiate peace. My father understands that. Kamala Harris not only does not understand how to do it, but she has no desire to do it, because her friends are probably getting rich from it.

GLENN: Yeah.

It is -- it's a remarkable time that we live in. And we pray for you and your family, every day. And we pray for our country as well.

I am more convinced than ever, as you watch things unfold over in Europe, that this whole thing is a show.

Your father is, I believe, the only man that can make a difference and stop this global takeover of the West. But we're getting down to the wire.

What's happening over in Europe. Nobody is paying attention to.

But how did we get some of the same policies in every Western country. That is setting every Western country on fire.

And the America first agenda is the way to stop.

KAMALA: I'm watching what's going on over in the UK, where that clown police chief.

We're going to extradite and arrest people for breaking -- when you say a mean tweet, and they will arrest you in America? Extradite you into the UK and put you in jail? I'm saying, people, literally. We hate that these illegal immigrants are curb stomping us in the streets. We really think that's terrible.

How dare say that about the immigrants! You know what happens to the person actually doing the curb stomping? Nothing.

You know, they probably get a government voucher program, getting money to beat the crap out of the people in the country that took them in.

It's mind-boggling. And I'm watching these people. I'm watching the videos of the judges handing out these sentences for 20 months, 24 months. For people that are just like, hey, man. I'm sick of this crap. What's going on.

It's not even racist. It's not hate speech. It's just common sense.

It's basic vernacular. To say, hey. I don't want to get beat up in my streets. It's only happening because of immigration.

Of course, it is.

But it doesn't matter to them.

It's literally like, they're destroying their own civilization.

And they're just willingly doing it. I've never seen anything like it.

GLENN: Yeah. Don, always good to talk to you.

Thank you so much. Keep up the good work.

And we'll do anything we can to help.

Donald Trump Jr. You bet.

Could passengers have SAVED Iryna Zarutska?

Surveillance footage of the murder of Ukrainian refugee Iryna Zarutska in Charlotte, NC, reveals that the other passengers on the train took a long time to help her. Glenn, Stu, and Jason debate whether they were right or wrong to do so.

Transcript

Below is a rush transcript that may contain errors

GLENN: You know, I'm -- I'm torn on how I feel about the people on the train.

Because my first instinct is, they did nothing! They did nothing! Then my -- well, sit down and, you know -- you know, you're going to be judged. So be careful on judging others.

What would I have done? What would I want my wife to do in that situation?

STU: Yeah. Are those two different questions, by the way.

GLENN: Yeah, they are.

STU: I think they go far apart from each other. What would I want myself to do. I mean, it's tough to put yourself in a situation. It's very easy to watch a video on the internet and talk about your heroism. Everybody can do that very easily on Twitter. And everybody is.

You know, when you're in a vehicle that doesn't have an exit with a guy who just murdered somebody in front of you, and has a dripping blood off of a knife that's standing 10 feet away from you, 15 feet away from you.

There's probably a different standard there, that we should all kind of consider. And maybe give a little grace to what I saw at least was a woman, sitting across the -- the -- the aisle.

I think there is a difference there. But when you talk about that question. Those two questions are definitive.

You know, I know what I would want myself to do. I would hope I would act in a way that didn't completely embarrass myself afterward.

But I also think, when I'm thinking of my wife. My advice to my wife would not be to jump into the middle of that situation at all costs. She might do that anyway. She actually is a heck of a lot stronger than I am.

But she might do it anyway.

GLENN: How pathetic, but how true.

STU: Yes. But that would not be my advice to her.

GLENN: Uh-huh.

STU: Now, maybe once the guy has certainly -- is out of the area. And you don't think the moment you step into that situation. He will turn around and kill you too. Then, of course, obviously. Anything you can do to step in.

Not that there was much anyone on the train could do.

I mean, I don't think there was an outcome change, no matter what anyone on that train did.

Unfortunately.

But would I want her to step in?

Of course. If she felt she was safe, yes.

Think about, you said, your wife. Think about your daughter. Your daughter is on that train, just watching someone else getting murdered like that. Would you advise your daughter to jump into a situation like that?

That girl sitting across the aisle was somebody's daughter. I don't know, man.

JASON: I would. You know, as a dad, would I advise.

Hmm. No.

As a human being, would I hope that my daughter or my wife or that I would get up and at least comfort that woman while she's dying on the floor of a train?

Yeah.

I would hope that my daughter, my son, that I would -- and, you know, I have more confidence in my son or daughter or my wife doing something courageous more than I would.

But, you know, I think I have a more realistic picture of myself than anybody else.

And I'm not sure that -- I'm not sure what I would do in that situation. I know what I would hope I would do. But I also know what I fear I would do. But I would have hoped that I would have gotten up and at least tried to help her. You know, help her up off the floor. At least be there with her, as she's seeing her life, you know, spill out in under a minute.

And that's it other thing we have to keep in mind. This all happened so rapidly.

A minute is -- will seem like a very long period of time in that situation. But it's a very short period of time in real life.

STU: Yeah. You watch the video, Glenn. You know, I don't need the video to -- to change my -- my position on this.

But at his seem like there was a -- someone who did get there, eventually, to help, right? I saw someone seemingly trying to put pressure on her neck.

GLENN: Yeah. And tried to give her CPR.

STU: You know, no hope at that point. How long of a time period would you say that was?

Do you know off the top of your head?

GLENN: I don't know. I don't know. I know that we watched the video that I saw. I haven't seen past 30 seconds after she --

STU: Yeah.

GLENN: -- is down. And, you know, for 30 seconds nothing is happening. You know, that is -- that is not a very long period of time.

STU: Right.

GLENN: In reality.

STU: And especially, I saw the pace he was walking. He certainly can't be -- you know, he may have left the actual train car by 30 seconds to a minute. But he wasn't that far away. Like he was still in visual.

He could still turn around and look and see what's going on at that point. So certainly still a threat is my point. He has not, like, left the area. This is not that type of situation.

You know, I -- look, as you point out, I think if I could be super duper sexist for a moment here, sort of my dividing line might just be men and women.

You know, I don't know if it's that a -- you're not supposed to say that, I suppose these days. But, like, there is a difference there. If I'm a man, you know, I would be -- I would want my son to jump in on that, I suppose. I don't know if he could do anything about it. But you would expect at least a grown man to be able to go in there and do something about it. A woman, you know, I don't know.

Maybe I'm -- I hope --

GLENN: Here's the thing I -- here's the thing that I -- that causes me to say, no. You should have jumped in.

And that is, you know, you've already killed one person on the train. So you've proven that you're a killer. And anybody who would have screamed and got up and was with her, she's dying. She's dying. Get him. Get him.

Then the whole train is responsible for stopping that guy. You know. And if you don't stop him, after he's killed one person, if you're not all as members of that train, if you're not stopping him, you know, the person at the side of that girl would be the least likely to be killed. It would be the ones that are standing you up and trying to stop him from getting back to your daughter or your wife or you.

JASON: There was a -- speaking of men and women and their roles in this. There was a video circling social media yesterday. In Sweden. There was a group of officials up on a stage. And one of the main. I think it was health official woman collapses on stage. Completely passes out.

All the men kind of look away. Or I don't know if they're looking away. Or pretending that they didn't know what was going on. There was another woman standing directly behind the woman passed out.

Immediately springs into action. Jumps on top. Grabs her pant leg. Grabs her shoulder. Spins her over and starts providing care.

What did she have that the other guys did not? Or women?

She was a sheepdog. There is a -- this is my issue. And I completely agree with Stu. I completely agree with you. There's some people that do not respond this way. My issue is the proportion of sheepdogs versus people that don't really know how to act. That is diminishing in western society. And American society.

We see it all the time in these critical actions. I mean, circumstances.

There are men and women, and it's actually a meme. That fantasize about hoards of people coming to attack their home and family. And they sit there and say, I've got it. You guys go. I'm staying behind, while I smoke my cigarette and wait for the hoards to come, because I will sacrifice myself. There are men and women that fantasize of block my highway. Go ahead. Block my highway. I'm going to do something about it. They fantasize about someone holding up -- not a liquor store. A convenience store or something. Because they will step in and do something. My issue now is that proportion of sheepdogs in society is disappearing. Just on statistical fact, there should be one within that train car, and there were none.

STU: Yeah. I mean --

JASON: They did not respond.

STU: We see what happens when they do, with Daniel Penny. Our society tries to vilify them and crush their existence. Now, there weren't that many people on that train. Right?

At least on that car. At least it's limited. I only saw three or four people there, there may have been more. I agree with you, though. Like, you see what happens when we actually do have a really recent example of someone doing exactly what Jason wants and what I would want a guy to do. Especially a marine to step up and stop this from happening. And the man was dragged by our legal system to a position where he nearly had to spend the rest of his life in prison.

I mean, I -- it's insanity. Thankfully, they came to their senses on that one.

GLENN: Well, the difference between that one and this one though is that the guy was threatening. This one, he killed somebody.

STU: Yeah. Right. Well, but -- I think -- but it's the opposite way. The debate with Penny, was should he have recognize that had this person might have just been crazy and not done anything?

Maybe. He hadn't actually acted yet. He was just saying things.

GLENN: Yeah. Well --

STU: He didn't wind up stabbing someone. This is a situation where these people have already seen what this man will do to you, even when you don't do anything to try to stop him. So if this woman, who is, again, looks to be an average American woman.

Across the aisle. Steps in and tries to do something. This guy could easily turn around and just make another pile of dead bodies next to the one that already exists.

And, you know, whether that is an optimal solution for our society, I don't know that that's helpful.

In that situation.

THE GLENN BECK PODCAST

Max Lucado on Overcoming Grief in Dark Times | The Glenn Beck Podcast | Ep 266

Disclaimer: This episode was filmed prior to the assassination of Charlie Kirk. But Glenn believes Max's message is needed now more than ever.
The political world is divided, constantly at war with itself. In many ways, our own lives are not much different. Why do we constantly focus on the negative? Why are we in pain? Where is God amid our anxiety and fear? Why can’t we ever seem to change? Pastor Max Lucado has found the solution: Stop thinking like that! It may seem easier said than done, but Max joins Glenn Beck to unpack the three tools he describes in his new book, “Tame Your Thoughts,” that make it easy for us to reset the way we think back to God’s factory settings. In this much-needed conversation, Max and Glenn tackle everything from feeling doubt as a parent to facing unfair hardships to ... UFOs?! Plus, Max shares what he recently got tattooed on his arm.

THE GLENN BECK PODCAST

Are Demonic Forces to Blame for Charlie Kirk, Minnesota & Charlotte Killings?

This week has seen some of the most heinous actions in recent memory. Glenn has been discussing the growth of evil in our society, and with the assassination of civil rights leader Charlie Kirk, the recent transgender shooter who took the lives of two children at a Catholic school, and the murder of Ukrainian refugee Iryna Zarutska, how can we make sense of all this evil? On today's Friday Exclusive, Glenn speaks with BlazeTV host of "Strange Encounters" Rick Burgess to discuss the demon-possessed transgender shooter and the horrific assassination of Charlie Kirk. Rick breaks down the reality of demon possession and how individuals wind up possessed. Rick and Glenn also discuss the dangers of the grotesque things we see online and in movies, TV shows, and video games on a daily basis. Rick warns that when we allow our minds to be altered by substances like drugs or alcohol, it opens a door for the enemy to take control. A supernatural war is waging in our society, and it’s a Christian’s job to fight this war. Glenn and Rick remind Christians of what their first citizenship is.
