Host of the hugh hewitt show nbc contributor annie Washington Post contributing columnist, hugh taken away. Thank you jim and welcome donald trump junior to the library. I wish i could be there im stuck inside the beltway but i have my own copy of liberal privilege right here. Everyone watching if you order release from our bookstore it will be signed by don trump junior. How goes is booked on . Its going great. I was not planning on writing another book i was out planning and doing anything like that bright did went over little over a year ago. The reality is we were stuck in cortina could not go to work, cannot go to church, cannot go to school could not do anything. What into loot or right it wouldve gotten an exemption because apparently that was exempted, especially in the democratic cities but since thats not my thing is too let me research the guy were running against, let me do some homework. Its hard too believe how little there is out there but joe bided despite a half a century of the swamp creature in washington d. C. When i started looking i said well come i cannot the wealth of information that is out there. All basically disk while attendance qualify someone who would be president. His history, the vote as the policy. The secretary of defense had joe biden is bound the wrong side of his vote for his whole career pay what he saw all this and more shocking was a terrible decision these destruction of the american working class with policies that shipped our American Dream to china was that no one in the media had any interest in pointing these things outward im sort of a junkie at this point, i fell this stuff closely. There is not a single journalist in America Today willing to call these things out. Willing to talk about how bad joe biden was for american trade for American Manufacturing bluecollar jobs. How shady the families is not just hunter, with the billion five and the Chinese Government you know 30 million fees and minor details im sure they have no problem if i took 30 million year from the Chinese Government directly that would not be issued altered but the brother, jim getting housing contracts to build homes in the middle east, paid for by the u. S. Government, minor details. He severed built a home in his life, minor details obviously thats not a qualification forgetting a major government contracts were the only qualification was he knew joe bided. These are things if my family did hugh, will be totally disqualifying. You get into the medical side of things. I interviewed Ronnie Jackson who was Bidens White House doctor talk about the cognitive decline that we see almost on a daily basis. And talk about what he has seen as a shift. We hear about donald trump being in the later stages of dementia and alzheimers for last four years theres no evidence of that. But is not stopped every television psychologist in america from coming out there and saying it. So i go through all these things in the book. There are 18 chapters each one almost worse than the next about the guy that would be president of the united states. Its a sad state of affairs at someone like me. Im not a journalist its not what i do put up written a book before but i could not believe that there is no one of the tens of thousands of people who claim to be all for information and journalistic integrity, that they would not be asking these questions of the guy we would give the nuclear code two. The reality is america has created for so many it has created opportunity for me to it do that. I stepped up and feeling its an important message. Not just for the people in our cyber for those people on the fence because the image they have of joe biden is one that is fictitious. Its been flaunted by main street media. Select liberal purpose of talk to donald trump junior about liberal privilege on my radio show in which it ordered and read it from the Nixon Library pretty self published it. We just mentioned is true, no Publishing House in america would put out this book. Or would put it out in time i would put it off but ill call the rasa knuckle approach that don trump juniors famous for. You publisher got to the present time thats a very risky thing my hat is off to you. Shes in working with publishers for years too get ready too put out speaking for myself, walked the audience through. By the way he did text me the question a john of the question for the audience from you. Walk people through it selfpublishing means as opposed to just going to the big New York House and how they massage it and how they keep you from speaking the truth. Civic i turned on the big offer from a publisher i had of Good Relationship but i know plenty of guys to leave interviewed them on your radio show unit wantagh but it will not call them by the name. Theyll show show me the Text Messages are getting a publisher. I saw your tv interview, we dont like the one that for the issue. These are not radical people. Number one does best sellers or top ten authors, they are conservative thought leaders theyre having conversation about mainstream conservative thought theyre being threatened as a part of their livelihoods. If you talk about this not get a publisher next book but if you did this were not going to a widget too minimize this going to delay putting the book out you cant influence the election. But you know what i turned on a really big offer president just going to do it on my own which literally means everything. Register with the library of congress, it is really complex. Everything i did it myself. Because i had to do what i wanted to make sure the message got out its as much a Public Service announcement as anything else. No one else is doing that job. Now because of that they tried to make it very difficult for me. For example it got back with my team the bookscan numbers i would have been at least number two bestseller on the new york list. I will they would not even look at it. The reality owes it barnes noble we were not in a lot of small bookstores because i do not have that distribution could do it by myself i could not do that we were on amazon at a bestseller there. But the reality is the conventional bookstore model, now during quarantine is almost nonexistent but we literally offered to say i also made on dodd junior. Com so people could buy it there because so many conservatives dont want to go to amazon, they dont want to go to big tech, they are against that. Made it available to myself i even offered the New York Times i will give you my passwords i will let you look at what we did. You can see each one is an organic sale going to an individual to show you that numbers part i would be on their vessel with the amazon numbers when you do that with barnes noble and books a million items 30 or 40 on don junior. Com because a lot of the conservatives are like id rather get it from don directly and give it to big tech. I made that available within your times are not look at it. It would be at least number two on the New York Times bestseller list. But they would not acknowledge the book because theyre not going to doing thing too promote thats going to be against a democrat because. And that challenges the convention of publishing which is as liberal stronghold if not more so than the media itself. They do not want someone like me to it be successful. They do not want someone like me to it take on a Major Institution like that and win. But we were doing it. Base of the numbers were doing it very well. The kona blue bubble. Not just in media but in business and development and publishing especially, don junior sock a little bit about the election before we go back to liberal privilege and specifics because people have to vain attempt vote on the basis of this book of joe biden or your father and 44 days. Where you see the race and i say we because im supporting your fathers election, where we up . Were we dont . Where are we too close to call . I think were up in the usual suspects. Its really close in a lot of places is certainly based on polling. But i do not give as much credence to polling is more as i used to, hugh. I look at this, i see people what they do to conservatives. I see how they are canceled and attacked, hit in the head with a brick. I could wear joe biden shirt to a smog and ill be fine try wearing that in portland or chicago, i do not recommend it. You saw what they did to rand paul saying her name time but Breonna Taylor incident, he is the guy in congress championing the cause her name is on the legislation she introduced. But they attack you because they do not know what theyre talking up there not attacking because they leave an appointment some and give them a bullet point and told them to do it. They did not have any information too realize the one they are attacking his number one champion to the because they are screaming at him about british shows you what we are up against. I did not take of the polling to hartford too get set up required to doing a pole in that area thats 5050 that the d 12. Its because of trying too suppress our guys were going up. Trying to say its over, dont turn up, dont go out the trump is going too lose. Its just not what i seek you. I my time in Middle America whether witts for politics or pastimes and hobbies. I like spending time with real americans i dont spend in new york city on the weekend like too get out. The enthusiasm that they have for trumps polyp of the energy is incredible. So i do not take the polling to heart. Do need everyone in the skate we cannot have apathy, with got to support a present whose delivered results for the first time and a long time for the American People. Now if you are from china like the Chinese Government, you want joe biden to them because he has been shocked that transoft on them. He has shipped the American Dream to them for decades for if you are in america and the want to live the American Dream, you just dont have any choice for you to sort know that because of what the media has told you about joe biden and they failed for years. Keep holding out you gotta say the name of the book seven times in order to get them to go to the Nixon Foundation bookstore and get more copies of liberal privilege from don junior. Did know was possible turn the election more but on friday at Ruth Bader Ginsburg passed away pretty played this morning this morning your fathers very gracious remarks when he exited the stage on friday night and a reporter told him, the first time you learned Justice Ginsburg had died. Very touching your he was very gracious. Was very, very gracious. He said this morning on fox and friends, he will not be announcing the nominee until after her services on friday or saturday that he will announce it. Have you talked to them yet about who is considering . I have not gotten the details with them i spoke to him briefly yesterday. I know is going to be important thing for our people. The reality that every quote obama, biden himself, schumer four years ago, when the situation was similar but you do not have both the senate and the white house in the same control. All of these people would have done it for they all wanted to do it desperately. I think is going to be an important duty for us as republicans to do that. And not squander that seat. We see the democratic intentions are making threats but they are threats of packing courts in all these things. Guess what . They been making these threats anyway prayed theyve been making these threats for years produced anyone dumb enough too think the democrats are not going to do all these things . Maybe will eliminate the filibuster like you working to do that anyway. Did anybody watch with the democrats are willing to do . They push a four year they still pushing the rush of collusion still doing it. They do not say think about the 27 fbi members about the deleting their phones. Yes a high profile did not remember his password. Hes that stupid. But liberal privilege you have two separate arguments in two separate times as long as one is defendant liberal fuel never get called out on the hypocrisy. All these people are on the record but we have an obligation to do that. The democrats they are failed if you give them power they will do anything too attain that power. Just look at what they put the American People do for the last four years. Despite unprecedented economic success. Despite unprecedented Foreign Policy success. Q, they spent more time Fact Checking my sister said her son build his grandfather a lego white house then they did multiple peace deals in the middle east. A peace deal in the middle east that is the holy grail of geopolitical politics. Nancy pelosi says its a distraction. If obama would have done it he wouldve actually deserved the noble price that he got nominated for 11 days after his inauguration despite having done literally nothing at. You are the perfect headed guy dont if you are the white house the signing of the abraham accord. These are big deals there the first peace deals in 25 years in the middle east between the united arab emirates, it barely made a blip in the manhattan beltway blue bubble media. Ive spent ten days telling people this is astonishing. I did not think it would happen. Do you think is youve gone around that liberal privilege you think it sunk into america yet how significant that deal is that your fathers superintendent . I think separate again youre not going too get to everyone you should. The filter by which people is getting the news is still biden. You are following it in your into politics you see it. If you are consuming five or ten minutes of news a day because youre working hard to live your American Dream to put food on the table and its going through that media filter that is 96 negative against donald trump, you are right, your hearing more Fact Checking 83 oh did he in fact build a lego white house . I really probably had some help but he did it i have the picture. I dont know what that has to do with anything, i do not know why it is relevant. have achieved exactly nothing. I only you man scrutinize them a little bit because theyre 50 years of failure, like joe biden, has gotten us absolutely nothing but let me the experts and the people who actually took a different approach, didnt escort of repeat the same thing over and over and over. Def next of insanity. Expecting a different result. They took a different approach, got unprecedented success done and because 0 that happened, nothing to see here, folks, eight a distraction. Let me drill down on that. My friend and i enjoyed talking to you on the air when he guest hosted for me put you got skill sets in broadcast cheer useful. You have energy and youre animated and you answer the question dyche not believe the media understands the skill sets that go into development. Now until i retired the years ago i represented developers on the west coast, not your father or you or jarred kushner, nobody, no cop thicket of some, just big developers, people like that. The skill set that go into development are so much more complicated than the skill set that go into, quote, reporting, but the quote reporters dont understand that goes into development. Have you found a hand of reporters who understand mat what ick days to go from raw dirt to finished Plant Community golf course, condominium, tower, or anything . Too you know of any of them. That understand what it takes . No. These people are supposedly experts but dont actually know much out anything. Dont third the result of the worth. We saw that in 16. They sit there in a room of 20 likeminded individuals telling each other how wonderful and brilliant they are put they actually cant fathom anything about what is going on in real america. Dont understand the complexities of the deals. That fancy themselves great spill electricitied but why . Hey have been right on most things in a deck indicate or so. They havent footen anything right. They keep something song that droughts gets things dune while obama, biden types failed to get anything done and dont know what i. Its because he does have a skill set. Because donald trump did these things in the real world and has real world experience. The as able to grow the strongest economy america has nope. He has actually signed the front of a paycheck and head people, livelihood, familys will being dependent on his success every day for decade. Get into politics, im not sure it may be at more vicious only if youre donald trump but other president s like obama who had softballs thrown at him for eight years, they wonder why donald trump can get it done because he is willing to fight, willing to engage, willing to take on the other side and not just accept what they, the fake experts, say should happen. Because he understands and can play out scenar
