Trump before, but if you ran into him again, what would you ask him?

What would you tell him right now? I would say, Mr. President, we're fighting for you. You know, when I looked at, you know, President Trump, you know, almost be assassinated on live television. It's an image that has stuck with me ever since. And if that man can take a bullet for America and get back on his feet and say, fight, fight, fight, then we ought to fight right beside them. All right, guys, CJ Pearson here. We're at the Heritage Foundation. You just threw an amazing event, man. Thanks for having me. Thank you so much. Thank you for coming. Yeah, you had some of the top influencers in the conservative space and had some amazing speakers. It was phenomenal. Thank you. You know, I think what we wanted to do and accomplish with this

with this event is that we wanted to bring together some of the most impactful, emerging creators in our movement. And it's in large part because of the fact for a long time, those on the left have been just winning the influencer game. Unfortunately, we've seen George Soros pump upwards of $70 million into artificially inflating these influencers online to indoctrinate my generation. It's something that I take great issue with, but I can either choose to complain about it or do something about it. And I chose to do something about it. And I think that what we need to do is we need to incubate the next generation of conservative activists who can

be bullhorns for freedom and liberty online, because that's how we actually are going to change hearts and change minds. People don't trust CNN anymore. They don't trust the traditional media. They trust people and influencers are people. And I think if we can bring them together, educate them so they can educate their audiences, that's how we win. Facts. Do you think one of those influencers stories paid off as Harry Sisson? Definitely. I think Harry Sisson is one of those. I think the FEC records show that he's a paid show. You know, one of the most I think one of the biggest things that I think exposed him for was after the Biden debate.

He said Biden won the debate. No one in their right mind thought Biden won that debate. Biden didn't think he won the debate, but I didn't even know he was at the debate, actually, much less. So it's incredible to me that he was able to say that with a straight face. But you know, it's Harry Sisson. So even David Pakman, who I just had on said Biden lost that debate. So that's when you know, he's paid off. Yeah, yeah. Anyone who anyone who's objective you know saw firsthand that he stumbled through the entire thing he didn't he barely knew his name he barely knew he was there um and unfortunately you know um he he was pushed out and i think it's clear that he's a little upset about that you know considering he's been wearing a maga hat these days i think i actually think joe biden is voting for donald trump hot take it doesn't seem like he really

supports kamala in anything I've seen. Yeah, he doesn't. You know, the man's, you know, putting on his opponent's, you know, merge. He's, you know, going out of his way to, I think, make things incredibly awkward for Kamala. He's basically, you know, putting himself out there when before he was totally okay with being in the basement. But now as we get closer to election day, we're seeing more and more of him.

And it's intentional. He realizes that he's an unpopular president. He realizes his policies have decimated the everyday American, that they are not working for the American people. And he wants people to tie him to Kamala Harris. And rightfully so. This isn't just the Biden administration. This is the Biden-Harris administration. She was the puppeteer.

She owns all of his mess. And we should hold her accountable for it. Absolutely. Do you think Mark Cuban's been paid off? I think Mark Cuban's a billionaire. So I don't know how many people could pay him off. But I think he is a little bit too emotional about this election. I understand that he has some personal issues with President Trump, and I think he needs to man up and just realize that under President Trump, we had one of the strongest economies

that we've ever had. It was resilient. It was working for everyday Americans, and we need to go back to those days. We saw an incredible stock market. We saw the lowest black unemployment rate in our nation's history, the lowest Latino rate in our nation, unemployment rate in our nation's history. We need to go back to those days. And I think that, you know, it's so funny to me. And oftentimes when people, you know, call President Donald Trump a racist, I actually call him the first black president. Donald Trump was the first black president. Donald Trump

was the first black president because he did more for black people than even the first black president, Barack Obama, did. This is a man who invested billions of dollars in historically black colleges and universities. This is a man who, again, brought about an economic, just completely renaissance for those in the black community. We need that back in the White House, and hopefully in just a few short days, we will get it. You can make a debate that the country was more racially divided under Obama. You know, it definitely was I think people, you know, he went out of his way to emphasize race and emphasize our differences. And I think at the end of the day, black, brown, yellow, orange, we all have the same issues here. We

all want to be able to provide for our families, we all want to be safe on our streets, we all want to, you know, have a piece of the American dream. And unfortunately, due to the progressive policies and the far left, that dream has become almost out of reach. And it's a shame to say that. You have many people in our generation, Generation Z, who won't ever be able to afford a home because of these terrible policies that have been shoved down our throat by the far left and also by this globalist agenda. You have BlackRock buying up all these homes, skyrocketing rent, so that our generation is never able to buy a home. That should send a shutter down everyone's spine.

You know, when you look at our parents' generation, they're... Kick off an exciting football season with BetMGM, an official sportsbook partner of the National Football League.

think about it because they believe it to be a goal so unattainable. Dude, it is. I mean, the average person can't even afford a $5,000 medical bill. Yeah, no, and it's so sad. And I think you look at the skyrocketing price of rent. And this is just Joe Biden's America. It's Kamala Harris' America.

Rent is too damn high. Gas is too damn high. Groceries are too damn high. We are literally – prices are so damn high in this country. They are higher than Wiz Khalifa and Snoop Dogg on 420 that is kamala harris's america and i gotta tell you i'm sick and tired of it but i'm also more importantly sick and tired of being sick and tired and that's why i just can't see how people are voting for kamala personally because even if you're democrat like you got to be objective as well right yeah you you would hope but i think they're just blinded by you know making history the first black woman president which by the way kamalaala Harris is not black, you know, FYI. But, you know, I think it's an unfortunate thing that

they are willing to put identity politics and their DEI, you know, higher above the interest of our nation. I think that we need someone who the world is going to respect on the world stage. If Donald Trump was in the White House right now, we would not be seeing what we're seeing in the Middle East right now. We would not be seeing what's happening in Ukraine right now. Because when Donald Trump was in the White House, people were scared of him. They had no idea what he was going to do. This man called Kim Jong-un, little rocket man, people thought it was the craziest thing. They said, oh, he's going to get us into World War Three. Kim Jong-un respected him. And it's kind of like that song, I need to find somebody to match my freak. Donald Trump matched their freak, right?

He matched the freak of Kim Jong-un and all these dictators because they never knew how far he would go. And he was willing to go as far as he needed to to protect the American people. It was so funny. There's that moment in the debate where he talks about how he took a picture

with a drone of that terrorist house and said, you know, took a picture with a drone of that terrorist house and said, hey, here's a picture of it. If you mess with America, that house is gone and you're gone. And I think that was a badass moment for him. If someone knows how to negotiate, it's Donald Trump. Art of the deal. Yeah. Would you rather have him negotiating on our country's behalf or Kamala Harris? Yeah, definitely, you know, Donald Trump, you know, far and, you know, far, far ahead. And I think you look at Kamala Harris, she's barely able to negotiate anything herself.

When you look at the path that she's taken in elected office, she definitely hasn't earned it. She's just been kind of the byproduct of affirmative action. And I actually kind of take offense to it because as an actual black American, as an African American, I think it's unfortunate when you have people like that who are elevated, who are less than qualified, because it's a poor reflection on my community as a whole. And you have people thinking, oh, now this is a reflection of the black community. Again, I emphasize again, not a member of our community. We do not claim her. But it's shameful.

And I think every time she opens her mouth, though, we see that she's wholly unqualified. She is not the person that we need to lead the free world. We deserve better. And I think in 20 days, we will get better. Absolutely. Where do you see the black community voting this election? I think the black community is riding with Trump. I go everywhere from barbershops to black churches.

I'm hearing from black men especially that they are sick and tired of the Democrat Party taking advantage of them. They're asking the question to themselves, what have the Democrats done for us lately? Skyrocketing violent crime in our cities, record low black literacy rates. That is the result of progressive policies directly. For far too long, black men have just been treated as an afterthought by the Democrat Party.

They only come to us when they want our votes. Never, no other time. And black votes, black votes only matter, you know, to the Democrats when they feel as if they can just dangle something in front of our faces, like free weed, apparently these days, according to Kamala Harris's plan. And they think that's the way to get our votes. No black people want to build businesses. They want to build wealth. You're not doing that with these Democrat policies. Yeah. You mentioned the crime rates, the real numbers just got released. Did you see

that? Yeah, the FBI, you know, tried to, you know, kind of pull a fast one on the American people, you know, and do a little stealth edit. And it's so despicable that you can't trust our own government, especially considering that we pay taxpayer dollars to fund said government. But, you know, anyone who wakes up in the morning and, you know, lives in a big city and walks outside, they know that crime is up. It's the same way where when people say that inflation is just going away, that these costs are lower than we actually believe. Every time you go to a grocery store, you know, you see that inflation is still very much around. And I think people are tired of the gaslighting.

The way that the Democrats are willing to look us in our faces and just patently lie to us is disgusting. Disgusting. I would love to see you debate Dean Withers. I would love to debate Dean. I would love to debate Harry Sisson. And, you know, I'll actually make the challenge here. Harry, you know, if you want to debate, we'll do this. I'll sort of GoFundMe.

We'll raise it for your gender transition surgery so you can actually have the balls to debate me. And if you don't debate me, then we're going to donate all the money to the nra and you can say that you know apparently you love guns now or if you debate we'll donate to puppies so harry either you hate puppies or you love the nra you get to choose either way you get a free pair of balls from it i love it i'll try to set it up he's coming on the show let me know a couple weeks let me know dean said he would come on but it looks like he's backing out now yeah i feel like he's he's had a rough few weeks, you know, N-word scandal. The thing about the left that's so interesting, everything they accuse the right of, more oftentimes than not, they have done that very thing, which is so interesting to me. They really are the real racists.

They really are the real sexists. They pretend to be these feminists, and then they end up, you hear some story about them sexually assaulting a woman. It happens all the time, and it's so interesting to me. It's like, is it guilt that forces them to be so hypocritical? Like, it's interesting to me. But hopefully, you know, if he, you know, wants to atone for his use of racial slurs, he is always free to pay me reparations. My Venmo is the CJ Pearson. I love it, dude. When did your criticism of Obama start coming? When I was 12 years old. So, you know, of Obama start coming? When I was 12 years old. So, you know, I got started in politics when I was 12 years old. I made a YouTube video

in my bedroom growing up in Augusta, Georgia. Didn't tell my grandparents about it, who I grew up with because they were lifelong Democrats. But I made this video because Mayor Rudy Giuliani had been accused of being a racist for simply criticizing Obama. And it was as silly to me then as it is to me now. And so I made a video, turned on my camcorder that I got for Christmas, went in on Obama and said that he's absolutely fair game to criticize. You should criticize him because this was the president that called ISIS the JV team. This was the president that said that we need to redistribute the wealth to those who did not have,

even though those that didn't have were not working. I thought it was incredibly insane that people were trying to treat a president of the United States with kid gloves in a way that they have not treated any other president. They didn't treat Donald Trump with kid gloves. They were absolutely just insane towards their treatment with him. But I started off when I was 12 years old, made that YouTube video, went viral overnight, kind of a little bit of a political Justin Bieber moment. And ever since then, I've just been making content, creating more videos. And my mission, you know, is still the same from when I started. I think that it's so imperative that young people

have a seat at the table, because if we're not at the table, we're on the menu. And I believe that there is no group with more to lose in this country than us. We have to inherit this country one day. Our children will have to inherit this country one day. And if we don't fight for this country, we will lose this country. Absolutely. We got to address these problems now. I mean, the national debt, the climate change, that's only going to get worse if we don't talk about it. Yeah, you're right. National debts, $35 trillion. Eventually, you know, someone's going to come to collect. And I think we've got to be ready for that. But also, too, I think that it's irresponsible for us to pass that along and continue to kick the cane down the road when I believe that America, it's common sense issues.

It's like don't spend more money than you take in. It's a decision that many families have to make around the dinner table every single day. Why can't our government? The reason is simple. It's not their money, so they spend it like a crackhead. Absolutely. I mean, you can apply that to anything. When you see businesses raise a ton of money, they usually blow through it all.

Yeah, they do. Especially when it's not their money. They feel empowered to just spend it haphazardly and not to be good stewards of it, which is why I think we need to elect elected officials who have, again, stakes in the future, which I think goes to electing younger people. It's so crazy that our Congress has basically become a glorified nursing home. And it's irresponsible because at the end of the day, a lot of them are just kind of like, okay, we'll get in this war.

Okay, we'll spend this much money because what do they have? 15 more years? 20 more years? We have a lot longer to have to contend with those issues. And I'm hopeful that as the years go along, and I think with the pick of JD Vance, of course, he being a younger guy, I think that it's time for a new generation to step up. And I see that happening. Yeah.

I learned that at Tucker's conference, Social Security is going to run out in what, eight, nine years? Yeah. And we've been paying that. Our generation has been paying into Social Security, and we may not ever even have it. Crazy. It's insane. That's insanity.

Yeah, eight, nine years. That's right around the corner. Yeah. Yeah. And you wouldn't even be eligible. I don't think you're eligible i think the social security age is like 65 yeah so it's like yeah we will never ever get a single cent of that we paid into the system and it's already hard to retire with that so imagine without that for most people yeah yeah i know it's such a problem which is why i think that we need to bring back president

trump into office you know reinvigorate our economy so that we can get people working again, get wages up again. Because the thing is, is that the Democrats love to say, oh, wages are rising, wages are rising. What kind of jobs, though, are those jobs that they're bringing about? Are they high paying jobs or are they low paying jobs, dealing fast food? That's the thing that I think that we need to be, you know, focused on is actually creating jobs that are going to help, you know, people, we shouldn't have to live in a situation, right, where you have, you know, there was once a point in time where you didn't need to have two people in the workforce, you got to, you know, if one parent wanted to stay home and raise the kids, that was fine. And if both parents want to work, that's totally fine, too. But they should still

have the option. I think that we should move back towards that. Tucker Carlson's a big advocate of that. JD Vance talked a lot about that. I think that we need to be pro option. I think that we should move back towards that. Tucker Carlson's a big advocate of that. J.D. Vance talked a lot about that. I think that we need to be pro-family. I think that we need to create an opportunity for people to make babies again. I think it's critical to our economy. It's critical to our growth. It's critical to keeping the American dream alive.

Average birth rate, I think it's 1.86 or something. Basically, it's really low to the point where we're not gonna grow. Yeah, yeah, it's gonna lead to population collapse, which is what we see happening in a lot of countries like Japan with these aging populations. Their economy just can't keep up. And so I think that we need to encourage people to have families and also kind of debunk this liberal lie that you cannot have kids in a life. I think that you absolutely can. But also, too, eventually, you know, your life needs to change.

You know, going out, getting bottle service every night at 40 years old, you eventually just start looking weird. And so I think that, you know, we need to, you know, just debunk that lie, have kids, it's good for you, it's good for the country, it's good for everyone. And I think that, you know, as Republicans talk more about these pro family policies, I think that we need to do a better job at it. Reason being is that, you know, just simply telling people, let's have babies, is not really a persuasive argument. I think things like paid family leave is an important conversation. I think things like, you know, actually increasing, you know, the, you know, child deductions,

all of those things to encourage people to start families earlier, I think would be a great way to do that from a policy standpoint. Absolutely. Now, I know you've met Trump before, but if you ran into him again, what would you ask him? What would you tell him right now? I would say, Mr. President, we're fighting for you. When I looked at President Trump almost be assassinated on live television, it's an image that has stuck with me ever since. And if that man can take a bullet for America and get back on his feet and say, fight, fight, fight, then we ought to fight right beside him. And I

think that the stakes of this election are far too high to be on the sidelines. I think that we all have a stake in what's going to happen here. And we can either, you know, fight like hell to save this country or we will lose this country. I think America is far too great of a country to lose. Absolutely. We'll end it there. I love it, man. Thank you. Thank you, brother. Thanks for coming on. See you. Thank you.
