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.
