Human Events Daily with Jack Posobiec - THOUGHTCRIME Ep. 98 — The Comey Indictment？ Antifa Agenda？ Charlie and the Cubs？

00:00:00.000 From the age of Big Brother.

00:00:02.720 If they want to get you, they'll get you.

00:00:05.080 DNSX specifically targets the communications of everyone.

00:00:09.020 They're collecting your communications.

00:00:18.920 Ladies and gentlemen, we are back.

00:00:24.000 Hey, everybody, for this Thursday's edition of Thought Crime.

00:00:28.660 We are here in, of course, where else would we be, the Charlie Kirk studio.

00:00:34.760 We have four members of the Thought Crime Posse with us.

00:00:39.320 The fifth is on assignment from God.

00:00:43.120 And we are here on a day such as this where the breaking news is really a thought crime itself.

00:00:50.820 And so when we were sort of chatting around the mic here, what did we talk about?

00:00:54.620 And I said, guys, it's Comey.

00:00:56.920 It's all Comey.

00:00:57.820 We have to dig into this.

00:00:59.140 So let's go around the horn.

00:01:00.800 I'm here.

00:01:01.420 I'm Jack.

00:01:02.260 Got Andrew.

00:01:02.960 Andrew Colvett.

00:01:04.040 Blake Neff.

00:01:05.040 The great Twitter star, Blake Neff, whose microphone is nowhere near him for some reason.

00:01:10.180 You know, we usually use those, Blake.

00:01:12.080 Well, it's funny.

00:01:12.960 It's your first episode.

00:01:14.020 So we're, we're, oh, wait.

00:01:15.560 I mean, you have to name the last one before I say what I was going to say.

00:01:17.800 Oh, and of course, the, and of course, uh, Tylenol Boyer.

00:01:22.520 Tylenol.

00:01:22.960 Ooh, I like Tylenol Boyer.

00:01:24.020 Tylenol Boyer.

00:01:24.680 Changes lower.

00:01:25.360 Changes lower.

00:01:26.320 Changes lower.

00:01:26.460 No, that's why, that's why your mom, that's why your mom named you that, right?

00:01:28.940 My mom named me Tylenol.

00:01:30.920 Tylenol.

00:01:31.440 Tylenol.

00:01:31.680 Just goodbye, Tyler.

00:01:32.480 Tylenol Boyer.

00:01:33.080 So, you know, it's funny.

00:01:34.880 So we, so we've been obviously hosting the Charlie Kirk show here.

00:01:39.660 We've been hosting Human Events Daily with Jack Posobiec here.

00:01:43.040 And now we're hosting Thought Crime here.

00:01:45.260 And I walk in and Blake is sitting in my chair.

00:01:48.060 And I was like, I was like, hey, that's my chair.

00:01:50.800 I saw this.

00:01:51.280 This actually happened.

00:01:52.340 But Blake is very territorial.

00:01:54.120 Yeah, Blake like went full like autist and you were like full Tylenol.

00:01:57.780 Full Tylenol.

00:01:58.180 And he goes, that's his, and he goes, he goes, no, this is where I sat.

00:02:02.380 But every time we did Thought Crime, and I was like, you know what?

00:02:05.580 Every single Thought Crime.

00:02:06.540 Right here.

00:02:06.860 Fair enough, bro.

00:02:07.920 Fair enough.

00:02:08.720 Me here.

00:02:09.280 Tyler there.

00:02:10.240 And then obviously the big man there.

00:02:12.620 And then fourth person, if we had him in studio.

00:02:14.720 Yeah.

00:02:15.280 No, it's fair.

00:02:15.900 Usually I'd be there on the screen.

00:02:17.380 I was tempted to be like a little butthurt.

00:02:19.460 And then I was like, you know what?

00:02:20.940 He's got a point.

00:02:21.220 Maybe we should even like rotate you. 0.99

00:02:22.520 Because then you're kind of honorarily still in your weird like starship.

00:02:25.580 Oh, you like put me in like the closet and like just come on Zoom from there.

00:02:28.960 We need to communicate with Starfleet here.

00:02:30.620 Yeah, exactly.

00:02:31.780 I do kind of wish I could see the thing behind me.

00:02:34.500 No, my favorite one.

00:02:34.880 But this is kind of similar to where you're at anyways.

00:02:37.260 Because when you're remote, you're on the screen.

00:02:38.720 So we look that direction at you anyway.

00:02:40.480 No, but do you remember?

00:02:41.280 There was an episode.

00:02:43.480 It wasn't a Thought Crime, but it was an election stream where we had the camera angle set sort

00:02:48.900 of straight.

00:02:49.880 And I think the TV was like a little lower.

00:02:53.580 And Bannon was on the TV.

00:02:55.460 And it looked like he was sitting in the middle of all of us because of the way the angles were.

00:02:59.780 I have a picture of it somewhere.

00:03:00.660 We've ironed out the wrinkles much more since then.

00:03:02.760 No, I actually like that, though.

00:03:04.040 I thought that was kind of cool.

00:03:05.060 You know what I love, by the way, is that it still has you and Jack's or Jack and you

00:03:11.060 and Charlie's face in the logo for Thought Crime.

00:03:13.760 I thought about that.

00:03:14.440 It's kind of awesome.

00:03:15.200 By the way, and we're looking at the video screen right here and every single network right

00:03:22.640 now, James Comey indicted, James Comey indicted, two counts.

00:03:28.080 I'm just going to say it.

00:03:29.140 First off, Pam Bondi came through. 0.99

00:03:32.840 Pam Bondi came through. 0.99

00:03:33.780 This is something where I know she's faced a lot of criticism in her position.

00:03:37.940 But look, this is possibly one of the biggest steps towards writing the scales of justice

00:03:46.880 in America.

00:03:47.400 We've had this two-tiered system or three-tiered system in some cases.

00:03:52.120 I'm excited to hear Blake's take on this.

00:03:53.700 And James Comey played a big part of that.

00:03:56.700 He played a very, very big part of that.

00:03:59.600 And I just got to say off the top, hats off to Pam Bondi for doing this.

00:04:03.000 Seriously.

00:04:03.100 So you know what's the first thing I thought of when the news broke?

00:04:07.260 That you might get indicted?

00:04:08.140 I thought of.

00:04:08.760 No.

00:04:09.300 Thank goodness.

00:04:09.960 No.

00:04:11.060 You know what I thought of, though, was when James Comey was on with Jen Psaki and was

00:04:21.540 asking, well, what happens if Trump gets elected, but then he still gets convicted of a crime?

00:04:29.700 And he was like, well, we could put him in a special trailer out in the prison yard.

00:04:36.140 And there's special dispensations for that.

00:04:39.240 And I don't know why that was the memory that flooded back into my head.

00:04:42.120 You would joke about this.

00:04:43.600 Other than the fact that it was the arrogance that these people exhibited.

00:04:49.860 And, you know, now we're learning from this indictment.

00:04:52.540 And we should go over what we're learning in the indictment.

00:04:54.700 But he was actively leaking all this stuff to the press.

00:04:58.360 And we knew that.

00:04:59.500 I mean, we knew that from before.

00:05:00.800 We knew that.

00:05:01.360 With these memos.

00:05:01.880 And I think it was Ben Wittes, I think.

00:05:04.560 He kind of denied it.

00:05:05.600 Or he played coy.

00:05:06.600 And he was parsing his words.

00:05:08.320 And, you know, it was all very transparent.

00:05:10.100 But he was doing what a spook does. 0.99

00:05:12.420 And he basically was, you know, playing the audience.

00:05:15.780 And so I just, the arrogance of going, we're going to lock President Trump up in a courtyard.

00:05:21.000 Hey, man, not all spooks.

00:05:22.160 Not all spooks.

00:05:22.780 Yeah, but we're going to lock him up in a courtyard.

00:05:25.380 And he's going to be able to work out and, you know, shower and all this stuff.

00:05:29.060 Even as President of the United States locked up.

00:05:30.800 I mean, it was just the arrogance of this man.

00:05:33.080 And so there is a little bit of visceral kind of like, this feels right.

00:05:40.240 But I want to hear Blake's take on it before we do takes.

00:05:44.120 Let's get, and Blake is always the best at this.

00:05:46.360 What do we know about these indictments?

00:05:48.160 Exactly.

00:05:48.700 So the indictment is pretty short.

00:05:50.240 So we can basically read the whole thing.

00:05:52.580 So this is the indictment.

00:05:53.480 The United States of America versus James B. Comey Jr.

00:05:56.920 So count one is false statements within the jurisdiction of the legislative branch of the United States government.

00:06:03.640 That's lying to Congress, but in fancy speak.

00:06:06.680 In the jurisdiction of Congress.

00:06:08.320 In the jurisdiction of the legislative branch of the United States government.

00:06:12.140 It's so good.

00:06:12.560 So on or about September 30th, 2020, in the Eastern District of Virginia, the defendant, James Comey, did willfully and knowingly make a materially false, fictitious, and fraudulent statement in a matter within the jurisdiction of the legislative branch of the U.S. government.

00:06:27.540 By falsely stating to a U.S. senator during a judiciary committing hearing that he, James Comey, had not, quote, authorized someone else at the FBI to be an anonymous source in news reports regarding an FBI investigation concerning person one.

00:06:46.840 Who could person one?

00:06:48.840 Who could person one?

00:06:49.340 Person one was always Trump.

00:06:50.560 Possibly be.

00:06:51.180 Person one was always Trump.

00:06:52.240 Two.

00:06:52.800 And then they say, that statement was false because, as James Comey knew then and there, he had, in fact, authorized person three to serve as an anonymous source in news reports regarding an FBI investigation concerning person one.

00:07:09.160 All in violation of 18 U.S. code 1001.

00:07:11.440 I heard person three was Andrew McCabe.

00:07:13.300 It is almost certain that this is Andrew McCabe was leaking things to the press at the instigation, at the approval of Comey, and that he then allegedly lied about this.

00:07:23.360 Does that make sense, though, that Andrew McCabe would, or would he have sent a dispatch, sort of, one of his little minions to do so?

00:07:29.540 Or is it just that he dispatched it so he's still person?

00:07:33.120 Yeah, that may be the same thing, right?

00:07:35.040 Is that he had his own people who, I mean, those people could be working with the prosecutors.

00:07:40.860 Now, that said, though, if he was doing that with the authorization of the director of the FBI, would that be a crime?

00:07:50.520 Well, if it was confidential information.

00:07:52.640 If it was classified information, it still would be, by the way.

00:07:54.720 Yeah.

00:07:55.140 For the record.

00:07:55.640 And then they have count two, obstruction of a congressional proceeding on or about September 30th, 2020, same day.

00:08:01.600 This is a date he testified before the Senate.

00:08:03.440 Oh, okay.

00:08:03.880 So they're saying he obstructed the...

00:08:05.100 In the Eastern District of Virginia, James Comey did corruptly endeavor to influence, obstruct, and impede the due and proper exercise of the power of inquiry under which an investigation was being had before the Senate Judiciary Committee by making false and misleading statements before that committee in violation of 18 U.S. Code 1505.

00:08:20.400 So, basically, they're double-tapping him.

00:08:22.540 They're saying, by saying a false statement to Congress, he lied to Congress and engaged in obstruction of what Congress was investigating.

00:08:28.560 So, was it obstruction of Congress or obstruction of justice?

00:08:30.960 It is obstruction of a congressional proceeding.

00:08:33.340 So, I believe this was the same one that was used for a lot of the J6ers. 1.00

00:08:37.560 Isn't that right?

00:08:38.720 That was obstruction of an official proceeding.

00:08:41.580 Okay.

00:08:41.740 I think that's slightly different.

00:08:43.160 But it might be under the same...

00:08:44.760 I'm going to go...

00:08:45.320 I'll go check that.

00:08:46.160 Let's see what it is.

00:08:46.760 Or it might be like a sister statute or something.

00:08:48.860 It's very close.

00:08:49.560 I think obstruction of an official proceeding is a bit different because that covered, like, let's see, federal law, U.S. Code 1512.

00:08:58.080 This is 1505.

00:08:59.580 So, let's see.

00:09:02.600 Obstruction of a 15...

00:09:06.400 Obstruction of pending proceeding, 18 U.S. Code 1505.

00:09:13.380 Maybe they did get him on the same one.

00:09:15.420 Aha! 0.94

00:09:16.020 That would be...

00:09:17.340 No, because I remember I talked to Julie Kelly about that so many times and we were talking about the construction of that statute and how it was made and, you know, really what the purpose of it was, et cetera, et cetera.

00:09:26.900 And so, I just...

00:09:27.560 I remember that, you know, that string.

00:09:30.120 I'm so not a lawyer, but I remember that code.

00:09:32.740 Yeah.

00:09:32.960 It's interesting.

00:09:33.500 It's poetic.

00:09:34.120 Although, it is also interesting they're going for that simply from the fact that I know one of the legal cases in J6 was kind of premised on the fact that I believe...

00:09:45.280 They were trying to overturn it.

00:09:46.200 Well, they overturned it because the obstruction of official proceeding law was apparently intended to cover, like, almost terrorism-type stuff, like, you're attacking, like, you're burning documents, you're destroying things, you're doing, like, really big aggressive stuff, and that's why it can cover a 20-year penalty.

00:10:03.940 And it probably, they argued, wasn't meant to cover lesser things, like, you know, what J6 was, where they just kind of broke in and, like, were hooligans for a while.

00:10:12.420 Well, uh...

00:10:14.060 And some were not.

00:10:15.080 Some were not.

00:10:15.760 Some were not.

00:10:16.140 But that's how they were...

00:10:16.800 They were getting tons of people on the, you know, oh, you obstructed the proceeding by walking in and making Congress run away for a bit.

00:10:23.560 I just want to say that again.

00:10:25.060 So, it looks like...

00:10:26.500 It looks like that James Comey was indicted under the same code the J6ers were. 1.00

00:10:31.680 Just saying.

00:10:32.520 There's some...

00:10:33.100 Just saying.

00:10:33.740 Some sweet, poetic...

00:10:35.160 Some spiritual justice there.

00:10:36.420 Yeah.

00:10:36.620 Well, that makes it really difficult for all the people.

00:10:39.060 And now, how are they going to argue against it when they said they were all for it?

00:10:42.420 Or when it was the J6ers? 1.00

00:10:43.800 Well, so, Blake, I want you to chime in on something that you have, I think, beat into my head over the last however many years. 0.93

00:10:56.080 You do not want to fly off the cuff willy-nilly with half-baked crap against your political opponents. 0.55

00:11:04.020 Because then you're starting to get into Banana Republic territory. 0.96

00:11:07.200 I don't think this is half-baked at all.

00:11:08.240 Well, so, I'm not saying it is.

00:11:09.720 I'm saying, as a general rule, Blake is always geared that way.

00:11:14.380 That's why we call him...

00:11:14.400 He's sort of assuming that there is a cartoonish, clownish character that can emerge when we're trying to seek justice or vengeance.

00:11:24.740 That's why we call him Blackpill Blake, by the way. 0.61

00:11:26.740 Blackpill Blake, contrarian Blake.

00:11:28.480 But no, but it's a good break to a gas pedal.

00:11:31.100 You've got to have both pedals to drive the car and not get into a crash.

00:11:35.140 Okay, so, looking at the details, Blake, would you put it in the half-baked, gun half-cocked, or would you put this in the, would you put this in the, this looks pretty well thought out and they've taken their time and they've done, they've, it's pretty open and shut.

00:11:50.300 Well, so, contextually, one reason it's dropped now is the statute of limitations for what they've charged him with actually expires next Tuesday.

00:11:57.620 So, they basically, it was now or never in terms of dropping it.

00:12:02.560 So, at the least, it's not, it's not rushed out in that sense.

00:12:05.980 They could not have delayed it more.

00:12:08.400 And so, hopefully, they've lined a lot of this up.

00:12:11.600 I worry if the charges are strong enough.

00:12:14.060 It's basically like, you know, it says, so, if they can basically prove that he directed people to leak things and that that is criminal as we understand it.

00:12:24.200 So, this means McCabe might have to testify against him.

00:12:26.360 That would be very interesting, yes.

00:12:28.120 Because they, because if he's person three and he was direct, so directed, then McCabe would have to testify.

00:12:33.000 That's his only way out.

00:12:34.340 That's his, that's his only way to.

00:12:36.060 Well, McCabe's only way out.

00:12:37.260 Yeah.

00:12:37.520 Yeah, exactly.

00:12:38.220 So, he'd have to testify.

00:12:39.360 And if he doesn't, then, oh, by the way, you're going to the same place Bannon and Navarro went.

00:12:43.180 That's right.

00:12:43.640 As long as that, if, as long as that, you know, holds true.

00:12:47.320 Well, and that, I mean, if he is person three, then yeah.

00:12:50.780 Yeah.

00:12:51.060 Now, a thing I saw that did, it gave me pause.

00:12:53.740 I saw a few people say it on X where they immediately said, you and I were talking about this, Jack.

00:12:59.200 Someone said, like, give him a perp walk on live TV.

00:13:02.160 And all I would say is, if your goal of indicting someone is to get the perp walk of them, you might want to cool it down a bit.

00:13:10.080 That's when it goes into that cartoon character.

00:13:12.820 Yeah, you don't, you don't, a lot of people, they want the pageantry. 0.82

00:13:16.360 They want the imagery.

00:13:17.240 They love, you know, they kind of like.

00:13:18.620 People are upset.

00:13:19.400 They like, they are.

00:13:20.120 And they like the TV image of, like, the people who have hurt us, who have done things that have infuriated us, you know, justifiably so.

00:13:27.380 Justifiably.

00:13:28.220 And then they like the idea of them facing justice.

00:13:30.520 But I would, again, caution people.

00:13:32.620 Justice is not making Comey do a perp walk.

00:13:35.340 Justice is finding the truth and if he broke the law, finding him guilty and holding him to account for that.

00:13:40.920 If you, anyone can search my Twitter.

00:13:42.940 I'm against perp walks.

00:13:43.920 I've always been against them.

00:13:44.900 I find them prejudicial.

00:13:46.020 If someone's guilty, find them guilty.

00:13:47.780 Just find them guilty and take it to trial and put it out there.

00:13:51.100 I've just, I've always had this.

00:13:52.380 I said it for, like, Harvey Weinstein.

00:13:54.080 I said it for a number of people on the left.

00:13:57.020 I'm just not for perp walks.

00:13:58.560 And so, and just to caution everyone.

00:14:01.180 And I'm going to stick to that.

00:14:01.560 Remember where we were two years ago.

00:14:03.420 So, they indicted Donald Trump on a bunch of things.

00:14:07.860 And they were extremely happy about it at the time.

00:14:10.140 They perp walked him down Fifth Avenue in New York City.

00:14:12.720 They gloated about the mugshot.

00:14:14.120 They gloated about every part of it.

00:14:14.960 And they were novel legal theories.

00:14:16.580 And they overreached.

00:14:18.500 And it absolutely sent the right bonkers.

00:14:20.720 It guaranteed he was going to get the nomination.

00:14:22.620 I mean, he almost certainly was anyway.

00:14:23.740 But 100% ended the primary.

00:14:26.220 It gave huge impetus to everyone on the right.

00:14:29.560 And it continued to do that because so much of the case was a clown show with Big Fanny,

00:14:34.680 with Alvin Bragg.

00:14:35.160 And this is not a novel legal theory here, though.

00:14:37.520 This is very clear, straight, grounded, false statements and obstruction.

00:14:43.260 It feels very sort of cut and dry in a sense.

00:14:46.440 Like, it's a very simple thing they're alleging.

00:14:48.000 Yeah, it is a simple thing they're alleging.

00:14:51.040 It's something that people have been prosecuted before.

00:14:53.480 Like, oh, you're basically masterminding leaks.

00:14:56.620 Do we know what he leaked?

00:14:57.580 We've convicted people of leaking.

00:14:58.640 Do we know what he leaked?

00:15:00.000 I believe it was these memos.

00:15:01.980 I think we do live it off the top of my head.

00:15:02.720 He leaked the memos to who?

00:15:04.380 And what were they?

00:15:04.760 No, no, no, no.

00:15:05.260 Actually, wait.

00:15:05.880 Blame at last.

00:15:06.420 This isn't about the memos.

00:15:07.360 Because it's about someone being an anonymous FBI source in news reports.

00:15:12.680 So what's interesting is that the content of what was leaked isn't brought up in the indictment here.

00:15:21.320 It's more the discussions around how the leak occurred.

00:15:26.480 So it's one of those examples where it's like the cover-up is worse than the crime, right?

00:15:30.760 So it's not the crime that gets you.

00:15:32.500 It's the cover-up that gets you.

00:15:33.860 So because he lied in the investigation of this leak, that's what they're getting him on.

00:15:40.300 And so we'd have to go back.

00:15:42.160 You know what's curious?

00:15:42.760 We should find the – I'm sure people have already found because it has the date of the hearing.

00:15:48.260 So I'm sure we could pull up what he was talking about.

00:15:51.240 I think I know where I can find that.

00:15:53.400 The internet.

00:15:54.580 So you know what's interesting about Comey, though, which is just an interesting piece of the Comey saga, right? 0.96

00:16:03.480 He's a douchebag? 0.95

00:16:04.180 Well, he does really come off like one. 0.96

00:16:06.840 But secondly, he – you know, he had that moment with Hillary Clinton that probably helped President Trump, right, in 2016, where he said, we're opening the investigation into the email servers.

00:16:21.120 Yeah, but he's also the guy who shut it down.

00:16:24.160 Well, they hated him.

00:16:25.480 Then they welcomed him back on MSNBC, et cetera.

00:16:29.080 But it's just like – it's an interesting – he's traveled a circuitous route, right?

00:16:34.360 And he was sort of long known to be a Republican.

00:16:38.140 Yeah, he was kind of like – well, Blake, you probably remember this.

00:16:40.720 Do you remember – Blake, who came up with the phrase Ferguson effect?

00:16:44.820 Oh, gosh.

00:16:47.240 Who was it really?

00:16:47.760 James Comey.

00:16:48.640 Really?

00:16:49.320 James – yeah.

00:16:50.080 I don't know if he is, like, is the initial person to come up with it, but he certainly used it and popularized it.

00:16:56.140 And James Comey used to talk about the Ferguson effect.

00:16:58.280 The FBI has thousands of people in it.

00:16:59.740 It feels weird how Comey is this, like, Forrest Gump guy who just keeps popping up everywhere.

00:17:03.720 Yeah, and remember, he was never an FBI agent.

00:17:05.980 I think he was a DOJ.

00:17:07.360 He was, like, a lower attorney and then eventually got plucked out of that.

00:17:11.020 And he was the successor to Mueller in – and then he, you know, came up through those ranks.

00:17:18.320 But he was – yeah, he was someone who was known, quote, unquote, as a Republican prior to all of this.

00:17:23.420 But he's one of those, like, MSNBC Republicans now.

00:17:26.180 He's a Republican who took all of the changes of the 2010s very hard.

00:17:30.160 And he went from being this, like, 6'5", or how tall is he?

00:17:34.340 6'8".

00:17:34.740 6'8".

00:17:35.340 Yeah.

00:17:35.600 So, basically, he went from being –

00:17:37.540 Literally, him and Glenn Youngkin were the only guys in the game taller than Charlie.

00:17:40.900 He went from, like, tall Republican prosecutor to –

00:17:44.240 Yeah, Barron's tall.

00:17:45.280 Yeah, Barron's giant.

00:17:46.240 I mean, you just kind of look at him with, like, his, like, this is what a feminist looks like shirts or whatever it was he had. 0.99

00:17:50.620 He was at one of those – he was at one of those women's marches, wasn't he?

00:17:54.180 I don't remember that part.

00:17:55.300 I just remember that –

00:17:56.260 He may have been.

00:17:57.200 It wouldn't surprise me.

00:17:58.320 He did something like that.

00:17:58.880 He did the 86-47 thing.

00:18:00.960 But, yeah.

00:18:01.660 Yeah.

00:18:02.200 Which is psycho.

00:18:02.980 Which is – yeah. 1.00

00:18:04.100 And he played dumb. 0.99

00:18:05.040 And he played, like, oh, I didn't know what that meant. 1.00

00:18:06.740 I thought it meant, like, cancel Trump.

00:18:08.760 Well, get him out of here.

00:18:10.240 Yeah, no.

00:18:10.900 No.

00:18:11.780 Give him the hook.

00:18:13.120 Yeah, and this is after, you know, the assassination attempts on President Trump, right?

00:18:17.480 Yeah, and now –

00:18:18.000 And I mean –

00:18:18.900 And that even – I mean, that plays into the run-up here with Charlie's assassination, which is, like, it's guys like James Comey that were publicly calling for the elimination of public officials.

00:18:29.660 Yeah. 0.87

00:18:30.340 And this is why it's so sick and twisted. 0.96

00:18:33.620 And it should make everyone angry. 0.95

00:18:35.340 Makes me really angry.

00:18:36.040 As we talk about, we need to turn that anger into action.

00:18:38.520 But that animosity that these people had are what has stoked the flames that have turned into hurting people.

00:18:50.100 And, you know, that's aside from what he's being accused of, right?

00:18:54.980 Breaking.

00:18:55.120 Former FBI Director James Comey is expected to surrender tomorrow morning.

00:19:00.060 That's per CNN.

00:19:00.840 So he will turn himself in.

00:19:03.600 And, well, Blake, one of the things that I should also mention in the sense that based on what we know now, the fact that it's in the Eastern District of Virginia is likely an attempt to get it out of the D.C. district, where, of course, we know the D.C. jury pool is – and, you know, it is what it is, right?

00:19:22.580 It's part of the system where it's 96 percent.

00:19:26.060 We should probably pull it up for the 2024 election.

00:19:29.420 It's just full-on Democrat.

00:19:31.440 Every single J6er, I think there was 100 percent conviction rate. 1.00

00:19:34.900 And on the flip side, there was 100 percent conviction rate for Bannon.

00:19:38.800 There would have been for Trump, for Roger Stone, for General Flynn's situation.

00:19:43.640 He would have been found guilty, et cetera, et cetera.

00:19:45.560 So we know how bad that jury pool is.

00:19:48.060 You know, it just occurs to me, this could – this feels like it could be a long-running issue in U.S. justice or what have you.

00:19:57.420 Like, obviously, most big criminal cases are filed in big urban areas, you know, Southern District of New York.

00:20:04.820 I know where you're going with this, and you're exactly right.

00:20:06.780 And it's going to be – it seems like a serious problem if – when our political polarization has grown to such a degree that you have a 90-10 jury pool of potential people almost always waited in favor of another party.

00:20:19.340 Right, so how are you going to get a jury of your peers when you're already stacked to have a jury that's completely against you because this is a political prosecution?

00:20:26.940 It's a 90-10.

00:20:27.840 Yeah, whereas, by the way, the Eastern District of Virginia, it's known as the Rocket Docket, it's known for being a quick, you know, quick procedures there, and, by the way, has been historically used for national security crimes.

00:20:40.560 So this is something that they're – you know, there's so much of the national security industry is there.

00:20:44.980 The judges is the big thing.

00:20:47.160 I mean, we saw that with –

00:20:47.760 So it's not like you're just jury shopping.

00:20:49.700 Like, it's literally known for this.

00:20:51.040 Right, well, but we – you know, the judges is where it really matters.

00:20:53.820 I mean, juries obviously matter, but so much of this happens at the judicial level, right?

00:20:59.480 I mean, you saw this with Eileen Cannon.

00:21:01.160 Well, and you're also looking at it from – to your point – at the appeals circuits we're coming to play here.

00:21:07.000 Yeah, correct.

00:21:07.900 No, so, I mean, listen, my instinct here is that the – so – and maybe, Blake, you would disagree with this – but my instinct here is that you've got

00:21:16.560 Dan Bongino, Cash Patel, Pam Bondi under an excruciating amount of pressure to come up with the goods, right?

00:21:25.120 The base wants – they want consequences and accountability for what we lived through during the Biden years, and goodness, was there a lot of it.

00:21:36.120 And it seems like they waited longer than would be politically advantageous for them, right, because their jobs are on the line, right?

00:21:43.820 I mean, they're wondering, are we going to get fired by President Trump any day soon?

00:21:48.040 And so they took time.

00:21:50.160 Obviously, the statue's running out, but they – you've got to believe that when Dan Bongino would hint, like, trust me, things are coming,

00:21:57.160 or Mike Davis would go on and be like, guys, I'm in the loop.

00:22:02.480 Just chill out.

00:22:03.480 Things are coming.

00:22:04.260 Everybody just bide your time.

00:22:05.960 This is definitely one of the things that they've been working on, and I've got to believe that whether it sticks or not,

00:22:11.500 they're putting their best foot forward with the, like, best, easiest case that they can probably do, right,

00:22:18.840 to get a big-name, you know, person that has wronged, you know, at least conservatives.

00:22:25.140 So I would think that – I would think I – all that to say, I think I put a relatively high amount of confidence

00:22:30.080 in the fact that they probably have a pretty good case here.

00:22:33.640 We – and so much of this we knew already.

00:22:35.540 I actually was – one of the things I first went viral for back in 2017 was dinging Comey on false statements

00:22:41.500 because he would do this all the time.

00:22:43.340 He would say things in one testimony, and then he'd say things in the next testimony.

00:22:46.840 One time he said, I never felt coercion or pressure to end an investigation.

00:22:50.640 And the very next time he went before Congress, he said, I felt pressured to end the Russia investigation.

00:22:56.540 Well, by the way, that is a hallmark of a liar, which this is essentially what they're accusing him of doing,

00:23:03.300 is lying in an official proceeding. 0.84

00:23:04.600 But a hallmark of a liar is that it's very, very difficult to keep the lie straight,

00:23:08.840 even for a trained professional.

00:23:10.540 So I'm looking at – we already have kind of – this is –

00:23:12.780 Well, could I just respond to what – it's – they didn't just go after Trump.

00:23:18.940 They went after Trump supporters.

00:23:20.680 They went after people in the states.

00:23:22.880 They went after – Tyler! 0.65

00:23:24.060 They went after Tyler!

00:23:24.860 They indicted Tyler!

00:23:26.380 Well, and there was definitely coordination.

00:23:27.920 We actually have some news on that this week.

00:23:29.500 It's been great.

00:23:30.540 No, I mean, you've been fighting it, but you've had to spend –

00:23:33.960 I'm just going to – like, I know you don't want to talk about it.

00:23:36.100 I'm going to say it.

00:23:36.640 No, this – yeah.

00:23:38.360 Insane amounts of money.

00:23:39.880 This is actually a great Charlie moment.

00:23:41.820 Insane amounts of money.

00:23:42.860 When the indictment came down on –

00:23:46.040 To defend Tyler.

00:23:47.760 Yeah.

00:23:48.460 Charlie was like –

00:23:49.220 For signing a piece of paper.

00:23:50.000 We got your back, dude.

00:23:51.180 There's no daylight.

00:23:52.620 We have you.

00:23:53.300 Like, you're not in this alone.

00:23:54.860 I remember when he –

00:23:57.780 Like, when the news came, and you were kind of like –

00:23:59.880 Freaking out.

00:24:00.940 Yeah.

00:24:01.340 It was a –

00:24:01.920 Pucker factor eight.

00:24:02.820 Like, I think you –

00:24:03.760 I was traveling.

00:24:04.220 I was in Michigan.

00:24:04.820 I was at the Detroit airport, which is a horrible place.

00:24:06.860 But you're already pucker factor six when you're there.

00:24:08.840 Charlie instantly chimed in through a chat, and he said,

00:24:12.500 I got you, bro.

00:24:13.880 100%.

00:24:14.240 And I –

00:24:15.300 See, that's not what he said to me.

00:24:16.180 He said, cut him loose.

00:24:17.060 No.

00:24:17.280 Yeah, well, he said that to me.

00:24:18.400 That was –

00:24:18.940 It's a group chat.

00:24:19.880 The funny part, I was in Michigan during all this because of the Michigan thing.

00:24:22.960 But I was –

00:24:24.800 I mean, without a doubt, and this is all throughout all the years,

00:24:28.740 Charlie always had my back and had always been, you know,

00:24:32.180 the first to defend and everything else.

00:24:34.420 And there was –

00:24:35.660 There's no worse feeling than when the entire government's coming after you.

00:24:38.800 And Charlie was the first to, like, we've got you 100%.

00:24:42.300 And, yeah.

00:24:44.740 And now you've had some good news.

00:24:46.000 I have to live with that.

00:24:46.420 And we had some good news.

00:24:47.300 Like, literally, like, the day after the appeal that the –

00:24:51.940 So, my motion to remand back to the grand jury

00:24:56.920 because they didn't bring sufficient evidence to prosecute all of us

00:25:01.220 got approved.

00:25:03.560 It got basically remanded, and the state was appealing,

00:25:06.720 and the appeal got denied straight up.

00:25:08.800 This week.

00:25:09.640 So, they have to start all over, and we'll see what they do.

00:25:13.660 So, we know in Michigan just recently they knocked this whole thing off.

00:25:18.740 But, again, that's so many people.

00:25:21.640 And, by the way, like, okay, you're an official at Turning Point,

00:25:24.860 God is a Turnpoint Action.

00:25:26.260 But so many of these people are just, like, county committee members

00:25:30.420 and, you know, just regular folks, senior citizens.

00:25:34.400 You were the biggest target that they could get.

00:25:36.200 Yeah, I think it was, like, there was a state chairman, you know.

00:25:38.880 And all you did was say, like, hey –

00:25:40.400 You guys aren't public officials.

00:25:41.900 In the case that this – you know, some of Trump's legal proceedings

00:25:46.160 prove fruitful, then we want to make sure because of the laws

00:25:48.800 that we have this backup in place.

00:25:50.420 That's all you did.

00:25:51.160 There's a legal theory that we're going back to the 1960 election with Hawaii.

00:25:54.240 Exactly.

00:25:54.600 The Democrats actually came up with this whole idea of, you know,

00:25:59.120 of having – making sure – and, again, it makes sense when you have

00:26:01.580 close elections, what you don't want to have happen in any of these states,

00:26:05.720 and I can't get into too many of the details, but what you don't want to have

00:26:08.900 happen is it be, like, within a few thousand votes, and then they realize

00:26:13.120 they did something wrong or they miscounted or whatever.

00:26:15.280 And remember, this is during COVID when all these new rules got put in place,

00:26:19.120 all these bill-in ballots.

00:26:20.580 And so a lot of people had come to us and said, hey, we're not totally sure

00:26:23.920 that everything is, like, on the up and up here.

00:26:25.960 People like Bob Spindell up in Wisconsin.

00:26:28.120 In case of emergency, you guys better have your paperwork ready.

00:26:31.680 No, Matt, the way I frame it is imagine if the papers aren't ready,

00:26:34.640 how mad the president will be, how mad the people will be, the voters will be,

00:26:41.760 if you basically don't do the right thing.

00:26:43.400 And people don't remember.

00:26:44.160 It was, like, basically 43,000 votes across – or 42,000 votes across three states.

00:26:48.440 Yeah, here in Arizona, it was 10,000 votes.

00:26:50.840 10,000.

00:26:51.360 Blake, what were you going to say?

00:26:52.500 Oh, so I just wanted to flag another breaking news item that has happened

00:26:55.920 in relation to this is we kind of – the way they're going to hype this up,

00:26:59.900 we have a deputy U.S. attorney – or assistant U.S. attorney

00:27:04.580 for the Eastern District of Virginia.

00:27:06.460 He has filed a letter to uphold my oath to the Constitution and country.

00:27:10.080 I hereby resign as an assistant United States attorney for the Eastern District

00:27:13.300 of Virginia in the Department of Justice, effective immediately and sincerely.

00:27:16.860 Bye-bye.

00:27:17.120 Troy Edwards, Jr.

00:27:18.600 Now, what is funny is apparently Troy Edwards, Jr. is Comey's son-in-law.

00:27:23.880 Ah!

00:27:24.400 There it is.

00:27:25.220 There's he.

00:27:25.940 Well, his daughter, who is a prosecutor for SDNY, just got fired.

00:27:31.580 I can hear Jen Psaki now saying this is the front to the rule of law.

00:27:38.200 We should pull some of the response.

00:27:39.620 I'm sure these clips are going to be great.

00:27:40.980 I know it's, like, happening right now.

00:27:42.700 Ryan, Riley, can you guys get some, please?

00:27:44.620 Just unsure they're blubbering up there.

00:27:46.760 They're just like, we live in a dictatorship and the tyranny of – yeah, well, okay.

00:27:53.580 Could you imagine being indicted just for your – and it's, like, literally –

00:27:56.940 That's exactly what he did.

00:27:58.100 This is why I'm talking about Tyler, and, like, Tyler hates talking about it, but whatever.

00:28:02.240 Sorry, Tylenol.

00:28:02.980 Well, I just can't talk about a lot of it.

00:28:05.400 No, I know, I know.

00:28:06.320 But pop another Tylenol.

00:28:07.280 You'll be all right.

00:28:07.580 Someday we'll be able to talk a lot about it.

00:28:09.940 Yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:28:10.600 But it's that story that you have still this platform to be able to say and obviously have, you know, and having the backing of an organization to be able to fight that.

00:28:21.120 Average people who went up against – 1600 people were mass indicted over J6.

00:28:26.880 People were, you know, in some cases lost their jobs over COVID.

00:28:31.080 Some people lost even more than that over COVID.

00:28:35.100 Donald Trump and anyone associated with him, people were losing their law licenses.

00:28:39.540 People are still losing their law licenses.

00:28:41.460 People were indicted.

00:28:42.460 People were sued.

00:28:43.600 There was mass insanity for four years.

00:28:47.460 And every single time it was some novel legal theory or some star chamber or some nonsense thing that nobody could even understand what the indictment was.

00:28:57.140 And this one is – it's so simple.

00:28:58.840 You lied to Congress.

00:28:59.900 The FBI director lied to Congress.

00:29:01.080 And let's be frank.

00:29:02.160 Even though this, as far as I know, is the first time that an FBI director has been indicted, it's probably not the first time that an FBI director or CIA director has lied to Congress.

00:29:11.400 And we certainly know that John Brennan or people like J. Edgar Hoover, the original director of the FBI, had a complete habit of this.

00:29:20.060 You know, they used to say that J. Edgar Hoover would turn off the congressional wiretaps right before he went to testify so that when he testified, he wouldn't be lying when he said, oh, no, I would never wiretap members of Congress.

00:29:30.900 And it's insane.

00:29:34.060 It's totally insane.

00:29:34.780 And his name is on the building, which should be completely raised, by the way.

00:29:38.260 And brick by brick.

00:29:39.640 Oh, the 65 project.

00:29:40.900 That's what I was thinking.

00:29:41.460 The 65 project.

00:29:42.560 Do you remember that?

00:29:43.020 There's all these names.

00:29:43.800 Yeah, but it's the organization that was working to disbar lawyers who defended Donald Trump.

00:29:49.300 I mean, this was like, it was like a full.

00:29:51.800 He thought he was lawyers.

00:29:53.000 Yeah.

00:29:53.340 You couldn't even, Trump was having trouble getting lawyers because there was organizations that were well funded that were working to disbar his lawyers.

00:30:01.900 This is how, this is how deep it went.

00:30:03.960 And it sends a threat to other lawyers.

00:30:06.000 Totally.

00:30:06.380 It was, absolutely.

00:30:07.520 If you're a lawyer and you're like, I don't need the billable hours.

00:30:09.960 Right.

00:30:10.100 I don't need the, I don't need the controversy that comes with that.

00:30:12.180 No, yeah.

00:30:12.640 It's any firm, white shoe law firm.

00:30:14.220 But he fought through it.

00:30:14.640 He fought through it.

00:30:15.260 They're not going to want to say, oh, I don't want to do this.

00:30:16.640 I don't want to be involved with that.

00:30:17.660 I don't want to be associated because it's a fear tactic.

00:30:19.980 And this is actually in that, that clip of Charlie that Mikey posted recently about why Republicans are so scared to go on offense.

00:30:28.880 Have you guys seen that going around?

00:30:29.920 Yeah, I'm from Nebraska.

00:30:31.000 This is what he talks about.

00:30:32.120 He said, you know, he says, look at what they did to Bannon.

00:30:34.760 Look at what they did.

00:30:35.560 He's talking about lawfare.

00:30:36.640 And he's talking about how it's, it creates a chilling effect for Republicans that nobody wants to ever, I'm going to have to use the phrase, stick their neck out.

00:30:44.900 And because they don't want to be the next one.

00:30:47.820 They don't want to be the next Bannon.

00:30:48.720 They don't want to be the next, I think he says James O'Keefe.

00:30:50.520 And they don't want to be the next Donald Trump because they're terrified of standing out because when you stand out, you get cut down.

00:30:58.260 And he explained the effect it had across all levels.

00:31:02.720 Was he relating that to the Cornhusker thing?

00:31:04.980 Yeah, he was relating it to like taking offense in Nebraska for winner takeoff.

00:31:09.300 So, and this is really important.

00:31:10.440 This actually relates really similarly to Jimmy Kimmel.

00:31:13.060 And I'll explain how.

00:31:14.540 So, this week, we saw the left lose their mind when Jimmy Kimmel got basically questioned, very basically questioned for what he was saying and doing on his platform.

00:31:28.800 Remember, the left went after the individual.

00:31:31.140 They went after individual conservatives and de-platformed them, de-banked them, did all these things.

00:31:36.740 It wasn't the big guys.

00:31:38.360 It was the small guys in most cases that they were going, the individual.

00:31:42.280 And that's my point.

00:31:42.980 It was the small guys.

00:31:43.640 In this same issue, they were going after the small people and indicting the small people and knocking the small people, whacking those moles all across the country and taking out the legs out from underneath the conservative movement. 1.00

00:31:57.940 And it wasn't the, in most cases, it wasn't all just the big guys.

00:32:01.580 It was the small guys they were getting rid of.

00:32:03.800 And now they're all losing their mind over James Comey.

00:32:07.680 The Comey-Kimmel situation this week is so similar in the fact that the left had gone after the grassroots of this country, the average citizen, trying to, just like Jack is saying, trying to dissuade them from participating from the civic and civic engagement, basic civic engagement.

00:32:24.300 And then at the same time, they're wanting to protect, you know, the biggest arbiters in these problems that are really, you know, trashing and hurting the country.

00:32:37.420 And they want to get away with it.

00:32:39.140 And they shouldn't be able to.

00:32:41.040 So, real quick, real quick.

00:32:42.120 By the way, there's a bunch of video, I guess, James.

00:32:43.840 Jack, just really quick.

00:32:45.000 I just wanted to say, thank you, Crochet Queen.

00:32:47.360 She donated $50.

00:32:48.960 God bless you all.

00:32:50.300 Charlie has brought my husband and I back to reading the Bible.

00:32:53.820 Wow.

00:32:54.140 God bless you, Crochet Queen. 1.00

00:32:56.480 Thank God.

00:32:56.800 We're so happy to hear that.

00:32:58.440 And Charlie always loved every time he heard someone said they were going to church, reading the Bible, taking their faith more seriously because of what they'd seen or heard from him.

00:33:07.120 And we love that that's continuing.

00:33:09.920 Yeah.

00:33:11.320 Do you have more?

00:33:12.140 Oh, no.

00:33:12.460 That's all we have for now.

00:33:12.820 All right.

00:33:12.980 Well, if there's more, keep them coming in.

00:33:14.540 Blake will find them.

00:33:15.680 Blake will read them.

00:33:16.340 And we will shut up so that your voice can be on the air through our Rumble rants.

00:33:21.860 I just wanted to give a shout out to Greg Price because he's pulled the what we believe to be the moment of and we have the video.

00:33:30.000 We'll get the video in a second of what Comey lied about.

00:33:32.260 It was the Steele dossier.

00:33:33.580 So that's that's what we were thinking.

00:33:34.940 So his his tweet reads, James Comey told Congress in September 2020 that the Steele dossier was not used in the 2016, the ICA, this intelligence community assessment on the Russia hoax.

00:33:46.720 And this was the big thing.

00:33:47.720 Right.

00:33:48.220 This came out publicly.

00:33:49.520 It was reported on, at least in the unclassified format, that they're the intelligence community.

00:33:55.400 Remember, 16 agencies, 17 agencies over and over and over.

00:33:58.440 They assessed that Russia hacked the election.

00:34:00.120 Russia hacked the election.

00:34:01.340 And Comey told them that it did not involve the Steele dossier.

00:34:05.920 Well, what do we put together with that?

00:34:08.040 Tulsi Gabbard.

00:34:08.740 Go back to July of 2025 when she released those unclassified emails and documents from how this was created.

00:34:16.920 She found that the Steele dossier was directly cited and specifically it was member of those Obama officials telling them that it wasn't real.

00:34:26.020 And if I remember correctly, there were pretty high level members of the FBI.

00:34:30.800 The FBI was part of this ICA.

00:34:32.380 So one of those 17 agencies that's under the ODNI is the FBI.

00:34:37.840 So the FBI was part of this.

00:34:40.500 So there's no question that James Comey certainly would have not only been part of the initial process, but, you know, you'd want to review something like that before you go to Congress.

00:34:49.000 Let's play it.

00:34:50.080 247.

00:34:51.580 Not been verified?

00:34:54.340 I don't know whether it was Brennan.

00:34:56.260 Brennan, I remember being told that the group's view was it was significant enough and consistent enough with other intelligence that it ought to be included, but it wasn't sufficiently corroborated to be in the body of the intelligence community assessment.

00:35:08.880 So they put a brief summary of it in an annex.

00:35:11.460 And, oh, we got another one.

00:35:17.320 BellCM1 donated $50.

00:35:18.960 I just want to say you guys are doing a great job.

00:35:21.060 You know it.

00:35:21.540 Charlie knows it.

00:35:22.480 And so do all of us.

00:35:23.580 So proud of all of you and thankful for you.

00:35:26.760 We're thankful for you, Bell.

00:35:28.720 Thank you very much.

00:35:29.800 I appreciate that.

00:35:30.940 And we have what Charlie is doing.

00:35:34.040 We have Comey is giving a response to this as well.

00:35:37.120 Does it is it loaded up?

00:35:38.160 Looks like it is.

00:35:39.860 Let's play Comey's response.

00:35:41.400 248.

00:35:44.900 My family and I have known for years that there are costs to standing up to Donald Trump, but we couldn't imagine ourselves living any other way.

00:35:54.840 We will not live on our knees and you shouldn't either.

00:35:59.380 Somebody that I love dearly recently said that fear is the tool of a tyrant.

00:36:05.200 And she's right.

00:36:06.360 But I'm not afraid.

00:36:09.380 And I hope you're not either.

00:36:11.200 I hope instead you are engaged.

00:36:14.060 You are paying attention.

00:36:15.600 And you will vote like your beloved country depends upon it, which it does.

00:36:22.520 My heart is broken for the Department of Justice.

00:36:26.140 But I have great confidence in the federal judicial system.

00:36:29.680 And I'm innocent.

00:36:31.000 So let's have a trial.

00:36:33.100 And keep the faith.

00:36:34.240 Every time they talk, it's like, it's very much I am in a TV show, like possibly one on Apple TV.

00:36:43.240 He reminds me so much of like Jeff Flake and Mitt Romney.

00:36:47.000 He's all those people.

00:36:48.260 Liz.

00:36:48.940 Doug D.

00:36:49.460 And Liz Cheney.

00:36:50.520 No, and Liz Cheney.

00:36:52.020 And like these guys that like, in the same way when they were, went after Trump so hard and then like they had to come back.

00:36:59.260 And like the guys down in Georgia, what's his name that left the party?

00:37:03.720 Raffensperger.

00:37:04.480 Not Raffensperger. 0.99

00:37:05.260 The other one that left the party.

00:37:06.720 That was the.

00:37:07.420 That left the party?

00:37:08.020 Purdue?

00:37:08.700 Purdue didn't leave the party.

00:37:09.000 No, no, no, no.

00:37:09.980 Purdue didn't leave the party.

00:37:10.760 No, there was a, I'm blanking right now.

00:37:12.660 Like a state rep or something?

00:37:14.240 He was, he was, I think he was pretty high up.

00:37:16.780 But anyways, long story short.

00:37:18.860 Not worth remembering.

00:37:19.560 Yeah, not worth remembering.

00:37:20.360 All these guys.

00:37:20.960 But they all.

00:37:21.480 Not going to remember you.

00:37:22.580 They all have a look about them.

00:37:24.320 It's like this like really sheepish guilty look when they're like doing this stuff.

00:37:28.660 Well, yeah.

00:37:29.760 But let's, let's put this in context.

00:37:32.020 What he's being accused of lying about is, as Roger Stone puts it, the greatest dirty

00:37:39.220 trick in American history.

00:37:40.600 Yes.

00:37:41.320 And what is that dirty trick? 0.99

00:37:43.580 It's that they basically realized the Steele dossier was garbage. 0.98

00:37:48.780 And yet there was a meeting. 0.82

00:37:50.680 I forget the exact date.

00:37:51.680 It was in December of 2016.

00:37:53.720 So the election has happened.

00:37:55.140 Donald Trump's about to take over as president.

00:37:57.280 And they get to work sabotaging the elected representative of the people to lead the country.

00:38:03.520 The leader of the free world.

00:38:05.080 And who was it that briefed the Steele dossier to Donald Trump?

00:38:08.660 It was James Comey.

00:38:10.140 So this isn't like, this isn't an example of some low level functionary or, you know,

00:38:15.580 someone who's got no culpability, wrong place at the wrong time.

00:38:18.700 No, you were the individual, James Comey, who through your own actions, by the way,

00:38:23.960 we never really found who it was that leaked that to Jake Tapper, by the way, because it

00:38:28.340 was Jake Tapper on CNN, who's very, very upset that CNN had me on this week.

00:38:33.100 He's like screaming about it behind the scenes over there.

00:38:35.120 Is he really screaming?

00:38:35.920 He has been, yes.

00:38:37.840 100% confirmed.

00:38:39.340 And that's what gave the Steele dossier, quote unquote, legs, right?

00:38:46.860 You remember that?

00:38:47.380 Because before it was like, oh, it's the dirty dossier.

00:38:49.780 Nobody wants to talk about it.

00:38:51.520 There's no action items here.

00:38:53.820 It's really weird.

00:38:55.160 The Moscow stuff didn't make any sense, really.

00:38:59.000 And so this is hilarious.

00:39:00.400 Well, keep in mind, suddenly, suddenly, James Comey briefs it to the president.

00:39:05.040 And the very next day, just about Jake Tapper goes up on TV, Jake Tapper and says, this was

00:39:12.160 briefed to the president.

00:39:12.860 This is very important.

00:39:13.840 This was briefed to the president.

00:39:14.840 It's very important.

00:39:15.360 And then BuzzFeed publishes it in full, I think, like a day after that.

00:39:19.640 Does BuzzFeed still exist?

00:39:20.760 Not BuzzFeed News.

00:39:21.800 I think they had to take it down.

00:39:22.660 But Ben Smith does Semaphore now.

00:39:25.840 Which is much better.

00:39:26.880 The reason why I bring up those names, though, Andrew, is because never forget Senator McCain's

00:39:33.500 involvement here.

00:39:35.200 He was the one that was the one that handed it off.

00:39:37.600 He was the one that received it.

00:39:39.000 And I think it was I think it was in Canada.

00:39:41.260 Yeah.

00:39:41.380 It was at one of those.

00:39:42.060 It was like a defense forum.

00:39:43.900 He was at a defense forum.

00:39:45.240 And somebody randomly came up to him and gave it to him.

00:39:48.880 That was some head of state from somewhere.

00:39:51.540 And he was the one that delivered it.

00:39:53.460 And that's why I bring up those names, because all of those names revolved around that man,

00:39:58.860 our late senator here in Arizona, John McCain.

00:40:01.700 Just an interesting point, right?

00:40:04.280 That was like the last final, you know, everyone remembers the thumbs down on the getting rid

00:40:11.520 of Obamacare.

00:40:13.280 This is also one of the biggest, most...

00:40:15.500 Yeah, I forgot.

00:40:15.880 I actually forgot about that detail.

00:40:17.240 Check this out, though.

00:40:18.480 A little ode to Charlie here.

00:40:21.340 Throw up image 250.

00:40:22.360 And this is Charlie on 5-7-20.

00:40:27.820 So in 2020, May 7th, 2020, he says, retweet if James Comey should be prosecuted and charged

00:40:33.980 for what he did to Michael Flynn, General Michael Flynn.

00:40:38.540 So remember, Michael Flynn was entrapped, basically, lured into a meeting without a lawyer under

00:40:45.860 the, you know, the assumption that this was a cooperative, hey, we're all in the government

00:40:50.520 kind of thing.

00:40:51.240 And then we also have a clip that's coming of former director Comey sort of bragging about

00:41:00.180 how he destroyed General Flynn's career.

00:41:03.580 And so, I mean, you start putting all these little pieces together, and it's really hard

00:41:08.500 to have a lot of sympathy for this guy.

00:41:09.880 He's going to run to MSNBC.

00:41:11.160 He's going to put his little memos out, his little selfie videos out, and act like he's

00:41:16.860 the defender of democracy.

00:41:17.940 But remember, every time they say that they're defending democracy, these are the same people

00:41:22.720 that try to throw a former president of the United States into federal prison for 700

00:41:27.300 years under a novel legal theory.

00:41:29.140 But of course, if you're on the left, if you're an MSNBC watcher, right?

00:41:33.540 So, Blake, this is why they use that language.

00:41:35.820 By the way, I have to say this.

00:41:37.500 Did he have a ring light?

00:41:38.720 Can we get that picture up again?

00:41:40.580 Do you see the lighting?

00:41:41.780 He probably watched like a Swift selfie instructional video.

00:41:44.740 Because doesn't he have like teenage daughters?

00:41:46.200 Is he on one of his teenage daughters' Taylor Swift ring lights on there?

00:41:49.900 Because you can see the distinctive.

00:41:51.360 So, they never believed that it was anti...

00:41:55.500 Look at that.

00:41:55.820 It's definitely a ring light.

00:41:56.620 You can see the ring.

00:41:58.880 Just say it.

00:41:59.540 You can see it.

00:42:00.760 Zoom in on his pupils.

00:42:02.140 Zoom in on the pupils.

00:42:03.340 I bet you can see a ring.

00:42:04.300 You can definitely see a ring.

00:42:05.260 You're right.

00:42:05.700 That's the tell.

00:42:06.400 And they will never admit what they did.

00:42:10.000 All right.

00:42:10.600 Yeah, they won't.

00:42:11.440 No.

00:42:11.600 Let's play this.

00:42:12.720 This is James Comey bragging about what he did to General Michael Flynn.

00:42:19.140 251.

00:42:19.500 You look at this White House now, and it's hard to imagine two FBI agents ending up in

00:42:24.260 the same room.

00:42:24.820 How did that happen?

00:42:26.380 I sent them.

00:42:32.160 Something I probably wouldn't have done or maybe gotten away with in a more organized

00:42:37.340 investigation, a more organized administration, in the George W. Bush administration, for example,

00:42:42.200 or the Obama administration.

00:42:43.800 The protocol.

00:42:44.760 Two men that all of us have perhaps increased appreciation for over the last two years.

00:42:54.640 And in both of those administrations, there was process.

00:42:57.300 And so if the FBI wanted to send agents into the White House itself to interview a senior

00:43:04.400 official, you would work through the White House counsel, and there'd be discussions and approvals

00:43:08.700 and who would be there.

00:43:10.220 And I thought it's early enough.

00:43:12.400 Let's just send a couple guys over. 0.94

00:43:13.940 Yeah, it's just, it really gets a, whether he goes to jail or not, like, we really need

00:43:21.240 to make sure that James Comey is just remembered for what an, like, odious and very hubristic,

00:43:27.480 like, self-important figure he was.

00:43:29.360 That he's just this one.

00:43:30.280 That he's calling the cardinal?

00:43:31.160 Yeah, he just thinks he's a girl.

00:43:32.700 That is exactly right.

00:43:34.120 This is exactly, this is why this is so satisfying, and I'm trying not to give into this, like,

00:43:39.180 this visceral urge just to dunk on him and be, like, extraordinarily joyous, but you're

00:43:45.020 hitting on exactly right. 0.77

00:43:46.480 He's so pretentious and smug and, and go on.

00:43:51.060 And, like, not just smug, it's that he really sees himself as, like, the main character of

00:43:56.560 an espionage novel or a movie or a TV show.

00:43:59.920 So it's, like, you think of all these other episodes, like, in the 2016 election, remember,

00:44:03.360 he was a liberal villain first, and it's because he's so self-importantly injecting himself

00:44:07.920 into everything.

00:44:09.260 I'm going to go on TV, and I'm going to announce whether we're indicting Hillary, and no one

00:44:14.100 is going to know, and not even Obama is going to know, and I'm going to then reopen, dramatically

00:44:20.480 reopen the investigation the week before, but, you know, it's not going to matter.

00:44:23.720 And then I think he's even said, I cannot find where this was, but I'm pretty sure he

00:44:27.880 basically said, I, you know, began to suspect Trump might be a Russian agent when I saw

00:44:32.640 him on the podium saying, like, you know, that thing where he was like, oh, Putin should

00:44:37.420 find Hillary's emails. 0.92

00:44:38.420 And every dumb person, including the head of the FBI, it turns out, is like, is he 0.98

00:44:42.500 communicating directly with Putin? 1.00

00:44:45.060 Like, just the stupidest people in the world. 1.00

00:44:46.820 Didn't he once claim that he never saw Trump laugh? 1.00

00:44:49.440 I remember Comey saying that.

00:44:50.980 We have a, we have a rumble rant, we have a rumble rant, cutting it, breaking news, rumble

00:44:54.440 rant, DGood2020 sends in, Charlie will forever live in our hearts.

00:45:00.880 We love all of you guys, and God bless you.

00:45:03.460 Love to Erica and the children.

00:45:05.300 Love to you, DGood2020.

00:45:07.200 Thank you.

00:45:07.880 Thank you.

00:45:08.900 It's amazing.

00:45:10.120 Really good people out there.

00:45:11.140 I will tell you, you know, in the midst of all this tragedy, and I think everybody's

00:45:14.080 kind of wondering what kind of country we have, and they're worried about their kids'

00:45:18.220 future, those are valid concerns, valid worries, but I think you guys would all agree, like,

00:45:22.860 in the midst of that, I've never seen so much good, either.

00:45:26.280 I've never seen so much goodness, so much kindness from perfect strangers.

00:45:29.980 I didn't even tell you guys this story.

00:45:31.380 I went out to the vigil one night when it first happened, and some lady recognized me, and

00:45:36.160 she was very kind, and as I'm walking away, she's, like, her kids all came up, and they

00:45:42.080 started hugging me.

00:45:43.220 Wow.

00:45:43.520 And the kid looks at me, and he's like, can I give you a hug?

00:45:46.820 And I was like, yes.

00:45:49.980 And he goes, you look like you need a hug.

00:45:52.740 And he hugged me, and he goes, I know it's been a hard day for you.

00:45:56.800 I hope it gets better.

00:45:57.820 And then another kid came up, and then another kid, and another kid, and I had, like, five

00:46:01.640 kids hugging me around my legs.

00:46:03.020 Were you in, like, a Saturday night morning special or something?

00:46:06.000 This was, like, I don't remember.

00:46:07.460 It was, like, the Friday after it happened.

00:46:09.160 There's been a lot of moments like that.

00:46:10.480 It was just amazing, these little moments like that.

00:46:12.860 Yeah.

00:46:13.080 Yeah, but anyways, I mean, we're talking about Comey, but I just want to say, all the love

00:46:17.180 that you guys are giving is really amazing.

00:46:19.060 No, it is.

00:46:19.700 It's incredible.

00:46:20.620 I wore, I'm thinking of buying multiple of those Freedom shirts, just so I can wear them,

00:46:26.520 like, multiple days in a row without it being too gross, because it is great.

00:46:29.760 Like, just the other day, I was at a, I went over to a-

00:46:31.880 The Charlie Kirk store.

00:46:32.860 Yeah.

00:46:33.540 Charliekirkstore.com.

00:46:34.580 Yeah.

00:46:34.880 You know, I just went out to a friend's place out in Mesa, just wearing it, because I'd worn

00:46:40.580 it at work that day, and just two women were talking outside, middle-aged women, and they

00:46:45.000 saw it, and they were just like, you know, I love your shirt.

00:46:46.920 And I said, thank you.

00:46:48.680 He was my boss, actually, and we had a conversation about it, and it was very moving.

00:46:53.700 They were talking about, you know, both of them said, I hadn't seen a lot of Charlie's

00:46:57.540 stuff before, but now, like, I'm watching his videos constantly, you know, it's so

00:47:01.480 incredible who he was.

00:47:02.840 A lot of new fans, man.

00:47:03.800 And it's kind of so, and you know, they were very horrified at what the reaction had been,

00:47:09.000 so it wasn't just, they'd realize what Charlie is, you know, they'd experience that whole

00:47:12.500 range of seeing how good he was, and how hateful so many of the people are, who are celebrating

00:47:17.980 it, and all of that, and these are just ordinary women in Mesa, had a good conversation with

00:47:22.800 them for a few minutes, and I'd love to have more conversations like that, and I think a lot

00:47:26.940 of people are.

00:47:27.640 Yeah.

00:47:27.980 No, that's really good.

00:47:29.560 I, yeah, there's just, so thank you, guys.

00:47:31.880 That's the point.

00:47:33.280 And by the way, I'll shout out again, in case anyone didn't hear it, a special guest tomorrow

00:47:37.780 on the Charlie Kirk Show proper.

00:47:40.000 Yeah, we have the one and only Mrs. Erica Kirk coming on the show tomorrow, so that's pretty 0.99

00:47:47.220 special.

00:47:47.600 I mean, you know, Erica is in a crazy headspace, you can only imagine. 1.00

00:47:52.300 I can't imagine, actually.

00:47:53.440 No, most people can't, I can't, and there's no way to put yourself in her shoes, but for

00:47:58.860 her to make the time, because she knows how special the Charlie Kirk Show is and was to

00:48:04.440 Charlie, and so she's going out of her way to come be with us. 1.00

00:48:08.920 I just, I'm so honored by it, and it was her idea, she wanted to do it, and I can't even

00:48:13.780 begin to explain to you, as somebody who's been in media and press and all this stuff

00:48:18.900 for a long time now, the amount of incoming that I have received, like begging for an

00:48:25.940 interview with Erica Kirk, and she's saying no to all of it.

00:48:30.240 I mean, magazine covers and exclusives and sit-downs with the top talent at all the network,

00:48:36.220 and no, she's going to come on our show and hang out with us. 0.96

00:48:39.360 It's really, really amazing.

00:48:40.560 It's very her.

00:48:41.940 But I digress, because guess what?

00:48:44.300 We have reactions from MSNBC.

00:48:46.760 We have to play that.

00:48:47.800 Oh, yes.

00:48:48.060 They're losing their minds over at MSNBC, and we all know that Charlie loved to watch that,

00:48:53.480 and I'm sure he's watching it right now.

00:48:55.180 Do we have clip?

00:48:56.100 253.

00:48:57.140 253, yeah.

00:48:58.520 Today, there were reports that she was also doubtful about this case.

00:49:02.380 While she doesn't mention it by name, I'll read exactly what you see here.

00:49:04.880 No one is above the law.

00:49:05.780 Today's indictment reflects DOJ's commitment to holding those who abuse positions of power accountable

00:49:10.760 for misleading the American public.

00:49:14.300 That is how she puts it.

00:49:16.000 Again, the effort on and the attention on misleading that rising, according to the DOJ indictment,

00:49:24.580 to what they're going to argue is a criminal level, a false statements charge, which Joyce

00:49:28.420 Vance, you were just explaining, requires meeting a certain bar of materiality.

00:49:33.180 We don't have the indictment yet, but the reporting prior was that this was referenced to

00:49:37.860 Comey answering a question about the general news and leaks policy at DOJ, and basically

00:49:44.680 whether he was fully briefed on Clinton-related matters.

00:49:47.740 With our final 30 seconds, your final thoughts.

00:49:51.000 Well, look, I think this is a good moment for us to all, before we jump to conclusions,

00:49:56.780 wait to see the indictment.

00:49:57.740 He's defending him already.

00:49:59.360 He's like giving him a defense.

00:50:01.000 We didn't even know what the indictment is.

00:50:02.100 There are still barriers in the criminal justice system that prevent miscarriage of justice.

00:50:07.180 A grand jury has decided that they will issue an indictment here, apparently, but there

00:50:12.580 are other issues going forward, including a judge and a jury.

00:50:16.040 Let's let the system work like it's intended to.

00:50:18.760 Right.

00:50:19.060 We're going to get a hold of the paper.

00:50:20.300 We're going to be following this, but it is an extraordinary news event to have the

00:50:23.300 former FBI director indicted, especially under these terms.

00:50:25.700 Look at the sun on your shoulders, the body language.

00:50:27.220 Thanks for watching.

00:50:28.320 Breaking coverage continues on it.

00:50:30.260 It looked like, I mean, I'm not going to say that, but like Ari Melber, what's the matter,

00:50:35.740 Ari? 0.99

00:50:36.420 What's the matter?

00:50:37.680 What's the matter?

00:50:39.080 Something wrong?

00:50:40.440 Ari, something the matter?

00:50:42.460 Just, you know, we got to let the legal system play out, but there are, you know.

00:50:46.700 He's already defending him, though.

00:50:48.380 I know.

00:50:48.600 You hear that in the, Blake, I know you picked up on that, where he's like, he's like, well,

00:50:51.840 the briefing, he might not have been briefed on the Clinton thing, where he personally

00:50:55.540 made the call, might not be briefed on Clinton when he personally made the decision of whether

00:51:00.560 to prosecute or not, like, he's the director of the FBI.

00:51:04.940 And by the way, when you, like, I don't think any of us in here have done this, but, you

00:51:10.100 know, for anyone who's done, like, any deposition, none of us have been briefed before.

00:51:15.400 Charlie used to talk about when he went to testify to the J6 committee.

00:51:18.880 Me too.

00:51:19.580 Yeah, and Tyler as well.

00:51:20.640 So, Tyler, let me ask, did, I actually, I forgot that you did.

00:51:24.420 Yeah, we were, we were in.

00:51:26.440 I love, I love Charlie, was Charlie, wasn't it like, were you born on October 14th?

00:51:31.840 Fifth Amendment.

00:51:32.320 Fifth Amendment.

00:51:33.440 But Tyler, did you just go up there and, did your lawyers just let you go in there and

00:51:36.960 wing it?

00:51:38.460 No.

00:51:38.960 No, no.

00:51:39.720 You prep.

00:51:40.440 You go over documents.

00:51:41.840 You have to do.

00:51:42.220 Well, our prep was really easy.

00:51:43.540 No, I know that.

00:51:44.300 Because it was all.

00:51:45.260 Pleaded the fifth.

00:51:46.160 No, I know.

00:51:46.620 But at the same time, like, you have to do your due diligence.

00:51:49.000 No, for sure.

00:51:49.700 And I'm about to go in, I'm about to go in again to have to fight the AG here.

00:51:54.060 And, you know, your lawyers are with you throughout the entire thing, both in any interview, if

00:51:58.720 you get subpoenaed, or if you have to go in and, you know, testify to a grand jury or then

00:52:03.640 ultimately testify to a jury or whatever it is.

00:52:06.560 I mean, there's a tremendous amount of prep that goes into all these things.

00:52:09.580 Right.

00:52:09.700 And that's why any good lawyer, before they ask you, before you answer a yes or no question

00:52:13.740 like that, they'll say, hey, you know, can you clarify that question?

00:52:17.680 Can you, you know, are you sure this is what you're asking about?

00:52:19.980 Because you know that if it's in court, that's perjury.

00:52:24.040 And if you're in Congress, that's lying to Congress.

00:52:26.980 You're breaking a federal law.

00:52:28.820 And so, yes, you do prep.

00:52:30.280 And of course, though, he wasn't briefed properly. 0.97

00:52:32.660 And Ari's not stupid, right? 1.00

00:52:34.440 Ari's not a stupid guy. 1.00

00:52:35.620 He knows exactly what he's doing. 0.99

00:52:38.300 It's like, oh, it was the briefers.

00:52:39.780 They were the ones who screwed up.

00:52:41.400 And by the way, these guys have limitless resources for this.

00:52:46.300 This isn't like a guy getting, again, like in our situation.

00:52:50.760 He was a private individual when he testified.

00:52:53.940 I get it.

00:52:54.500 But he's surrounded by layers of attorneys, the best in the world.

00:53:00.140 I think he's at a law firm right now.

00:53:01.440 I mean, you can make the argument that the best

00:53:04.560 and deepest and most aggressive attorneys are all within the D.C. metro area.

00:53:12.100 That's where they all live and survive.

00:53:14.120 And you can bet that the best possible guys were provided to him

00:53:17.860 by everyone who hated the Trump.

00:53:21.340 They all take care of each other.

00:53:23.060 So this is just a farce.

00:53:26.360 It's just a made-up thing.

00:53:27.680 It's not a real thing.

00:53:29.520 They're full of money.

00:53:30.900 And the other thing that Ari Melber goes, he says,

00:53:32.480 he was answering a general statement about the leak policy.

00:53:37.020 It wasn't a general statement about the leak policy.

00:53:39.060 It was specific leaks of a specific instance on a specific article.

00:53:45.240 And then Ari Melber is already sitting up there. 1.00

00:53:47.680 This is what they do every time.

00:53:50.340 The same thing Jimmy Kimmel did the other day.

00:53:52.540 The same thing that you saw leftists do in the wake of the,

00:53:56.440 you know, when I reported that it was the anti-ice on the bullets.

00:53:59.600 And then you had the picture that came out.

00:54:01.420 They just start lying.

00:54:02.780 They just straight up start lying.

00:54:04.660 Let's read President Trump's truth on this.

00:54:08.120 First, real quick, just because, just real quick.

00:54:11.220 Jay McGuire donated a dollar and asked,

00:54:13.080 have we seen the Fearless tour at all?

00:54:14.560 And how are they treated at the Tennessee?

00:54:15.660 Yeah, Cam Higby.

00:54:16.580 Yeah, he got, I mean, all they were doing was having,

00:54:18.820 I watched the whole video.

00:54:20.100 We should have him on next week.

00:54:21.880 And we will.

00:54:23.320 Tomorrow's show's all packed out already.

00:54:25.260 But maybe Monday, Tuesday.

00:54:27.860 The, yeah, I mean, it was a complete joke.

00:54:30.940 They were having civil debates on an HBCU.

00:54:34.020 And a crowd sort of gathers and then chases them off.

00:54:38.380 And they're getting hurled insults for their hat.

00:54:41.120 They think they were wearing MAGA hats.

00:54:43.040 And they had to be escorted off with police to keep them safe.

00:54:46.000 So their name is Fearless Tour.

00:54:49.740 And, you know, God bless them.

00:54:51.160 I love that people are going back into the,

00:54:54.280 into the lion's den and doing this.

00:54:56.200 And it's, and I'm proud of them.

00:54:58.820 And we'll talk to them.

00:55:00.160 We'll probably have them on the show.

00:55:01.620 So truth here from 254.

00:55:06.160 This is President Trump's truth socially said.

00:55:09.580 Justice in America.

00:55:10.780 All caps.

00:55:11.420 Exclamation point.

00:55:13.300 One of the worst human beings this country has ever been exposed to is James Comey, 0.85

00:55:17.840 the former corrupt head of the FBI.

00:55:19.560 Today he was indicted by a grand jury on two felony counts for various illegal and unlawful acts.

00:55:25.500 He has been so bad for our country for so long.

00:55:28.520 And is now at the beginning of being held responsible for his crimes against our nation.

00:55:32.980 Make America great again.

00:55:33.900 So, there you go, Blake.

00:55:38.580 I know you love, I know you love when, when the politicians chime in on the legal proceedings.

00:55:43.600 You know, it's, it, I would just caution people that the stuff you do now,

00:55:48.900 perp walks, statements, it can be very satisfying in the moment.

00:55:52.780 But, among other things, I don't think it increases your chances of getting an actual conviction.

00:55:56.980 This is, and I'm just going to say this as well, that this is a very direct issue that has been brought up in the Luigi Maggioni case right now,

00:56:07.160 where there is a motion from the defense team to knock the death penalty off because of Twitter activity by members of Department of Justice officials.

00:56:18.920 Retweets and different things like this, so, hey.

00:56:22.680 Well, I mean, I have some sympathy in that instance simply because Luigi Maggioni premeditated an assassination against a CEO, the United Healthcare CEO.

00:56:34.300 To, to bring justice to a cold-blooded assassin is, you know, I feel like morally there's a lot of leg to stand on.

00:56:45.160 No, I know, but I'm saying that, like, you have to get that past the judge.

00:56:48.020 Yes, exactly.

00:56:48.620 And a judge can just rule, oh, this violates whatever vague standard, and boom, no more death penalty.

00:56:54.540 It can go away that easily.

00:56:56.540 And, you know, someone says, you know, someone said in the discussion, they said, you know, just regarding this, nothing better than a Trump truth.

00:57:03.780 I got to disagree.

00:57:04.740 There is something better.

00:57:06.100 Convicting James Comey for all the horrible things he did.

00:57:07.800 Putting James Comey away for 20 years.

00:57:08.920 That is good.

00:57:10.040 Maximize the odds of that, and if anything else you're doing hurts the odds of that, let's do it.

00:57:15.240 I mean, the president's going to be the president.

00:57:16.880 Trump will be Trump.

00:57:17.540 Trump will be Trump.

00:57:19.160 Can we, let's go play, let's hate watch some more MSNBC losing their ish 255. 1.00

00:57:25.320 They're white, Andrew? 0.98

00:57:26.340 You heard me.

00:57:26.800 Selected prosecution piece is augmented or buffeted by the fact that the president was tweeting out, do it.

00:57:35.340 And go after him.

00:57:36.640 And maybe if Lindsay Helligan was actually a prosecutor and actually knew some law, she would have said, Mr. President, we're going to have a problem here. 0.98

00:57:45.220 Yeah.

00:57:45.300 Ken Delaney and who had some of the original reporting on the fact that we were expecting this indictment and on this timeline.

00:57:52.220 So that proved accurate.

00:57:53.500 We are now hearing from the attorney general and from the director of the FBI.

00:57:58.900 This is what Pam Bondi posted on X.

00:58:01.280 No one is above the law.

00:58:02.400 Today's indictment reflects this Department of Justice's commitment to holding those who abuse positions of power accountable for misleading the American people.

00:58:10.000 We will follow the facts in this case.

00:58:12.220 I want you to take that, Ken, side by side with what FBI Director Kash Patel posted on X.

00:58:19.620 Today, your FBI took another step in its promise of full accountability.

00:58:24.540 For far too long, previous corrupt leadership and their enablers weaponized federal law enforcement, damaging once proud institutions and severely eroding public trust.

00:58:33.960 I hear that sigh.

00:58:35.040 I feel it, too, guys.

00:58:36.080 Every day, we continue the fight to earn that trust back.

00:58:39.320 And under my leadership, this FBI will confront the problem head on.

00:58:43.540 Nowhere was this politicization of law enforcement more blatant than during the Russiagate hoax, a disgraceful chapter in history we continue to investigate and expose.

00:58:51.900 Everyone, especially those in positions of power, will be held to account no matter their perch.

00:58:56.720 No one is above the law.

00:58:57.720 You'll forgive me, Ken, because getting through that propaganda was a little bit difficult.

00:59:01.540 But given that there was reporting earlier that Pam... 1.00

00:59:04.820 Oh, they're losing it.

00:59:06.500 It's so difficult.

00:59:07.740 You can't listen to this stuff.

00:59:09.720 It's just, you know, at least I'll give Abby Phillips over at CNN some props here because at least she'll have, like, Scott Jennings on or someone who disagrees.

00:59:20.680 But what is the point of having a panel on MSNBC where everyone has the exact same opinion?

00:59:26.880 This is exactly why we have our DEI hire Blake here.

00:59:29.720 Because, like, Blake is contrarian.

00:59:32.240 He's Blackfield Blake.

00:59:33.260 Like, you want that back and forth.

00:59:35.460 Like, not just for the political polarization part of it, but it's just better TV, don't you think?

00:59:39.940 Well, so there's...

00:59:40.940 By the way, there's multiple...

00:59:41.960 I totally agree.

00:59:42.840 I love it when Blake kind of gives me something to think about.

00:59:45.020 By the way, there's...

00:59:46.680 There's...

00:59:47.840 So there's two charges here, right, Blake?

00:59:52.100 He's on two counts.

00:59:52.860 Yeah, yeah.

00:59:53.160 He's two charges on two counts.

00:59:54.680 So the obstruction would be the lying about the leaking?

00:59:58.360 I think both are the lie.

00:59:59.700 They just kind of tagged him twice.

01:00:01.100 Right, okay.

01:00:01.460 So false statement and then the obstruction because he told a false statement.

01:00:04.560 So there's another clip going around that, you know, James Comey told Congress on September 30th, 2020, could be one of the lies that was told.

01:00:15.660 Comey said he had never authorized anyone within the FBI to be a, quote, anonymous source about the Trump-Russia investigation.

01:00:24.740 So this...

01:00:26.660 And he told that to Senator Ted Cruz.

01:00:28.580 So let's go ahead and play that, 257.

01:00:31.000 Chairman Grassley asked you, point-blank, quote,

01:00:35.100 Have you ever been an anonymous source in news reports about matters relating to the Trump investigation or the Clinton investigation?

01:00:42.640 You responded under oath, quote, never.

01:00:46.080 He then asked you, quote,

01:00:48.340 Have you ever authorized someone else at the FBI to be an anonymous source in news reports about the Trump investigation or the Clinton administration?

01:00:56.640 You responded again under oath, no.

01:00:58.940 Now, as you know, Mr. McCabe, who works for you, has publicly and repeatedly stated that he leaked information to the Wall Street Journal.

01:01:09.060 Who's telling the truth?

01:01:11.520 I can only speak to my testimony.

01:01:13.420 I stand by what the testimony you summarized that I gave.

01:01:16.440 I'm not going to characterize Andy's testimony, but mine is the same today.

01:01:19.700 So he stood by the fact that he never did, never authorized anyone within the FBI to be an anonymous source.

01:01:31.880 So he was standing by the previous statement.

01:01:34.080 Yes.

01:01:34.460 So that wasn't the previous testimony that he gave to Chuck Grassley.

01:01:38.420 So he's saying he stands by it at that point.

01:01:41.480 We have another message.

01:01:42.820 We love the Patriots.

01:01:46.800 Yes, we do every American Patriot.

01:01:48.940 Donated 50.

01:01:49.880 God bless Erica, family, and you all.

01:01:52.620 I never met Charlie, but I felt I knew him.

01:01:56.080 I saw him on the Ingram Angle when he first started.

01:01:58.720 He's grown so fast and became something bigger than all of us.

01:02:02.780 It's completely true.

01:02:04.160 Amen.

01:02:05.080 He's a great man.

01:02:05.980 And we've heard that over and over.

01:02:07.820 So many people never met him or only shook hands with him, but they really felt close to him.

01:02:13.480 They felt close to him. 0.99

01:02:14.940 And Michael Steele still sucks. 0.99

01:02:18.780 Michael Steele? 1.00

01:02:20.180 Michael Steele.

01:02:21.580 Michael Steele just feels like...

01:02:22.900 I can't believe he still gets put on TV.

01:02:25.500 It's insane.

01:02:26.220 No, this is literally what I was just saying.

01:02:27.820 The MSNBC Republicans. 0.97

01:02:29.440 It's disgusting. 0.99

01:02:30.120 That's precisely who they are. 1.00

01:02:32.220 You're just like a self-hating...

01:02:33.020 Can you believe that that was an RNC chair? 0.98

01:02:35.260 It's crazy to me.

01:02:36.220 That's how bad we were.

01:02:37.040 That's how bad the RNC is.

01:02:38.040 And by the way, he was someone who was treated horrifically by the left.

01:02:42.120 You remember the Oreos, right?

01:02:43.560 Yeah.

01:02:43.780 He was called an Oreo, like black on the outside, white on the inside is what they said.

01:02:51.080 And they pelted him with Oreos.

01:02:53.620 Was that at one of the RNCs or something?

01:02:55.740 Yeah.

01:02:56.280 When he was walking, some protesters were pelting him with Oreos.

01:02:59.700 And yet now he's hanging out on that side.

01:03:02.500 Yep.

01:03:02.680 So, Jarvin had this thing earlier.

01:03:05.080 I don't know if you saw it, Blake, where he was saying there are not two lefts.

01:03:08.860 There is only one left.

01:03:10.440 And I really like that.

01:03:12.980 There's only one left.

01:03:14.240 And we keep sort of playing this game.

01:03:15.940 We're like, no, there's the good ones.

01:03:17.580 And it's like, where?

01:03:18.880 Where?

01:03:19.320 When you have Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama saying what they say all the time.

01:03:22.340 I just, I don't know.

01:03:23.760 Having trouble finding it.

01:03:25.220 I don't disagree.

01:03:26.960 Having trouble finding it.

01:03:27.920 But, you know, I will just accept at this point a lefty that doesn't believe that violence is justified.

01:03:35.100 Which is increasingly rare.

01:03:35.420 Hey, we talked about Jank.

01:03:36.980 How do you think?

01:03:37.940 Jank.

01:03:38.420 Jank.

01:03:38.780 Like Jenkins.

01:03:39.220 Jank Weiger?

01:03:39.880 Like Jenkins.

01:03:40.640 Jank Weiger.

01:03:41.320 Jank Weiger.

01:03:41.880 Jank Weiger.

01:03:42.200 Jank Weiger.

01:03:42.520 Jank Weiger.

01:03:42.620 Jank Weiger.

01:03:42.820 Jank Weiger.

01:03:42.880 Jank Weiger.

01:03:43.160 Apparently Rav bleeped me out every time I said, Jank Weiger.

01:03:46.860 I love it.

01:03:47.600 It's really funny about that.

01:03:50.060 No, you were just saying Jank, though.

01:03:51.520 Jank Weiger.

01:03:51.820 You did one time say.

01:03:53.520 No, I did one time say it.

01:03:54.880 But I was reading a tweet.

01:03:55.760 You did say a no-no word at one point.

01:03:57.600 I did say a no-no.

01:03:58.320 I didn't.

01:03:58.940 It didn't even occur to me.

01:04:00.440 I was like, Andrew, it's sunk.

01:04:02.700 Sunk.

01:04:03.180 I'm learning.

01:04:03.500 I was like, trying to help you.

01:04:04.440 I'm learning.

01:04:04.840 I'm learning.

01:04:05.380 Trying to get you past that one, buddy.

01:04:07.500 And I was like, I immediately was like, I'm so sorry.

01:04:10.400 How many different ways would it be possible to pronounce that man's name?

01:04:13.260 I wonder if it could be like, could you hit like a hundred?

01:04:16.140 Sunk.

01:04:16.260 It's like Janky.

01:04:17.160 Yeah.

01:04:17.680 Oh, yeah.

01:04:18.660 Is it short for anything?

01:04:20.500 I have no idea.

01:04:21.780 I don't know Turkish.

01:04:22.280 Could it be like, is it like Jankalicious? 0.98

01:04:25.040 Ooh.

01:04:25.680 Jankula?

01:04:26.360 There's only really one way to find out.

01:04:27.780 We have to demand his birth certificate.

01:04:29.480 Count Jankula?

01:04:30.440 Count Jankula.

01:04:31.540 Nice.

01:04:31.960 Yes.

01:04:32.220 Going with that.

01:04:32.620 Um, so what, uh, what, I mean, I think Janky, I think we've gotten through the, I, I do

01:04:41.180 kind of want to just, uh, to cover the, the Cubs thing just because I find it so funny.

01:04:45.720 I know you want to, but, but let me, let me just add this, this final piece here while

01:04:49.440 we're on, on Comey.

01:04:50.700 It's, you have to restore the scales of justice to balance.

01:04:57.280 You have to do that.

01:04:58.620 And you must do it using the iron law of exact reciprocity.

01:05:03.300 It has to be done to the people who wielded government power for ill gotten ends.

01:05:09.780 This is exactly what Comey was doing.

01:05:12.420 It was McCabe.

01:05:13.140 There were so many of them.

01:05:14.220 And gosh, I was just looking, I was running like a Twitter search on Charlie's tweets and

01:05:18.320 he's got the lists over and over, over and over.

01:05:20.860 Charlie was calling for this over and over.

01:05:22.840 Charlie said, why were so many of our people indicted for this when James Comey did the

01:05:28.060 exact same thing?

01:05:29.200 And I, I'm sure Charlie knew exactly the dates and times that he did it.

01:05:34.040 And of course, of course, Charlie can't play a part in this because of what was done to

01:05:40.180 him.

01:05:40.500 And so when the pressure is being applied in one direction, the pressure of state power,

01:05:47.000 like we saw for four years straight, including by the way, to the turning point organization

01:05:51.720 itself, both, well, just, I'll just say through, through investigation upon investigation that

01:05:58.900 was opened up.

01:05:59.640 And I know there's more that's going to be coming out on the FBI investigation.

01:06:02.640 And if you don't, if you don't respond, if you don't do anything to balance it out, they're

01:06:09.700 just going to do it again.

01:06:10.440 It's like little kids.

01:06:12.040 Yeah, no, I, I think that's really very clear.

01:06:15.480 We've been looking for a balancing of the scales and you have to have mutually assured

01:06:20.960 destruction in a, in a, in a democracy for both sides to treat the other with respect.

01:06:26.120 Like if you step out of line, we are not so cowardly as to not hold you accountable.

01:06:30.740 Well, the, despite what MSNBC is going to say, that this is the end of democracy, which they

01:06:35.520 notably were not saying when our border was open and political opponents of the left were

01:06:40.480 getting indicted left and right.

01:06:41.520 Go ahead, Blake.

01:06:42.120 You'll like this one, Jack.

01:06:44.800 Rafinez gave five and says in honor of Comey, Taylor Swift will rename her next tour the

01:06:50.680 indictments era.

01:06:53.420 Thank you, Rafinez.

01:06:55.960 All right, let's get to Shah.

01:06:57.360 All right.

01:06:57.760 All right.

01:06:57.960 I just really wanted to hit this.

01:06:59.260 No, I wanted to as well.

01:07:00.420 It was, uh, so, um, Matt Shaw is what it is.

01:07:03.860 Yes.

01:07:04.320 Yeah.

01:07:04.560 Uh, so Matt Shaw is a player on the Cubs.

01:07:06.400 I think he's a rookie.

01:07:07.300 I think I have pictures from this.

01:07:08.560 He's, you know, so that means he's a player like in the age range of, you know, the, the

01:07:11.900 core demographic that Charlie went for and he'd met Charlie.

01:07:15.560 He knew Charlie.

01:07:16.200 I think they actually even lived in the same facility, uh, place for a while, but I don't

01:07:20.800 know if I've seen that report.

01:07:22.460 I don't know if it's the case, but so he had met Charlie.

01:07:26.700 He'd known Charlie.

01:07:27.380 He saw him at a game once and then he wanted, so he attended the memorial.

01:07:32.360 He was invited, uh, by Erica directly is what reporting says.

01:07:36.000 And so he went to the memorial.

01:07:37.620 Now, for those of you who don't know baseball, baseball plays 160 games a year.

01:07:42.640 They're playing almost every day.

01:07:43.780 So he had to miss a game to do that.

01:07:46.640 Uh, the Cubs are going to the playoffs.

01:07:49.640 They in fact have already clinched a playoff spot.

01:07:51.580 They're still fighting for a position.

01:07:53.200 So a lot of, I do have to call them people.

01:07:58.040 Don't I?

01:07:58.260 A lot of people lost their absolute minds about this.

01:08:01.560 I thought we were talking about Redditors.

01:08:02.740 Yeah.

01:08:02.960 Yeah.

01:08:03.240 Exactly.

01:08:03.660 Okay.

01:08:04.160 Yeah.

01:08:04.320 Good point.

01:08:04.820 We need to, we need to, there's a video on this.

01:08:06.980 Can we have RFK like investigate whether Redditors are like fully the same species as human

01:08:12.880 beings?

01:08:13.260 Yeah, sure.

01:08:13.800 Oh, but yeah, we have a video.

01:08:14.780 Yeah.

01:08:14.880 Let's, uh, let's play the video.

01:08:15.920 Cause this is kind of what sparked it.

01:08:18.220 Um, I don't have the exact number here.

01:08:21.140 Uh, 226.

01:08:22.920 This is an announcer reacting to it.

01:08:25.440 Are you concerned about the backlash?

01:08:27.540 Because there is a lot of politics about this.

01:08:30.560 Yeah.

01:08:30.980 I mean, absolutely.

01:08:31.800 I'm not concerned at all.

01:08:32.860 No.

01:08:33.360 Um, you know, my connection with Charlie was through our faith.

01:08:36.140 Um, that's something that drives me every day.

01:08:37.900 That's the reason why, you know, I'm able to do what I do every day.

01:08:40.740 Um, and that's something I'm extremely thankful for.

01:08:43.540 Um, you know, I know without my faith and without the many blessings I've been given

01:08:46.920 in my life that I wouldn't be here, able to talk to you guys, able to help this team

01:08:51.440 eventually go and win championships.

01:08:53.600 Um, so that's something I feel really, really blessed about.

01:08:56.360 Um, so, you know, whatever backlash comes is, is okay.

01:08:59.380 You know, um, I feel, feel strong about my faith in that, that what was meant to be

01:09:03.800 happened.

01:09:04.100 Um, my bad, I call, uh, I, I thought I was getting a different one there.

01:09:08.340 Uh, but no, that's actually a very good one.

01:09:10.080 Uh, really is, it shows his, so the backlash, which I also want to show here is, uh, this

01:09:16.120 started with, uh, an announcer on, I think he was the Mets announcer, but was calling the

01:09:21.340 game and he commented on it as, uh, Matt was batting the following day.

01:09:25.320 So in a Monday's game.

01:09:26.440 So let's play that as well.

01:09:27.700 Two 27.

01:09:29.280 Shaw had Cubs world in a tizzy this weekend when he was not here for the Cubs game with

01:09:35.780 the Reds game.

01:09:38.720 They lost one, nothing.

01:09:40.280 And in which his lack of presence was felt, it was later revealed that he had been given

01:09:46.140 permission to attend Charlie Kirk's funeral.

01:09:49.880 And I don't want to talk about any of the politics of it, but the, the thought of leaving

01:09:54.440 your team in the middle of a race for any reason other than a family emergency really strikes

01:10:02.200 me as weird.

01:10:03.880 He was super, super supportive of, uh, us and, uh, obviously someone who was really

01:10:08.720 faithful.

01:10:09.400 Um, so we connected on that front as well.

01:10:11.840 Um, but yeah, I mean, his, uh, his wife, Erica had texted me asking me if I would, if I would

01:10:17.800 come to the, uh, to the funeral.

01:10:20.180 And, um, you know, I felt as though it was something that was really important for me to do.

01:10:24.440 Well, and by the way, throw up two 58. 0.83

01:10:26.900 So I took, I literally just put this picture into the chat from my own phone.

01:10:32.400 I was with Charlie on the field.

01:10:35.540 This is probably a month or five weeks ago.

01:10:39.540 And this is us on the field at Wrigley and Matt Shaw's right there.

01:10:45.080 Matt lives in, uh, Arizona and they run into each other in Phoenix.

01:10:51.420 And so we're at the game and after they won, I would think they won four, three that, that

01:10:56.200 day, we went down to the field and two of the Cubs players, one of which was Matt came

01:11:02.160 and they took a picture and they chatted and it was, it was wonderful.

01:11:05.400 And it was just a really nice moment.

01:11:08.080 And actually when we posted that picture, it got some controversy as well, but you know,

01:11:13.080 it was fine, whatever.

01:11:14.120 And, and so, I mean, I just feel connected personally to this story.

01:11:18.480 And one other thing that just, you know, Matt Shaw did not mention that in that clip, but Charlie

01:11:24.940 was such a huge Cubs fan.

01:11:27.360 And it's so like, he grew up worshiping the Cubs and that's why I think on many levels,

01:11:33.640 he was just so excited to have a relationship with some of the Cubs players.

01:11:36.160 It's a beautiful thing.

01:11:37.820 And that was literally one of his favorite days that he's had in a long time.

01:11:42.060 Because again, also people forget this, like Charlie had become such a, a big personality

01:11:47.620 is hard for him to go and do fun things.

01:11:50.480 Like it really, like in, in, in many ways, right?

01:11:53.420 Like, like how we were telling the story about you guys being out and about and, and South

01:11:58.140 Korea and like how, but him being out there, again, his love for the Cubs and being at games,

01:12:04.920 especially with Erica and family and when he took a lot of those videos and he, and he

01:12:09.080 could go to games.

01:12:10.000 Like he went to spring training and a few games this year.

01:12:13.060 And like, it's just, I just, I just know he would talk about, like, he was so excited

01:12:17.140 to look forward, so forward to those things.

01:12:18.880 It was like Christmas. 1.00

01:12:19.540 That announcer, that announcer is a total jerk. 1.00

01:12:21.340 What a jerk. 1.00

01:12:22.000 Like, oh, this just strikes me as really weird. 1.00

01:12:23.980 Well, you strike me as a jerk. 1.00

01:12:25.480 Yeah. 1.00

01:12:25.760 Oh, he missed the, he missed the hecking sporting game because a person who was a friend of his

01:12:31.160 was murdered.

01:12:32.420 Not just a friend of his, but then like a worldwide icon.

01:12:36.140 And he got his, the widow invited him personally.

01:12:39.600 Personal friend.

01:12:40.580 My friend was murdered.

01:12:42.660 I would like to go to his memorial.

01:12:45.000 The widow has asked me to attend and they're freaking out.

01:12:48.700 Oh, it's, it's really weird.

01:12:49.760 He'd, he'd miss a, a fricking playoff.

01:12:51.700 That strikes me as really weird.

01:12:53.300 Imagine it had a freak show.

01:12:54.860 Imagine had it been.

01:12:55.620 Has that guy been fired?

01:12:56.640 He should be.

01:12:57.260 We should go.

01:12:57.600 Why is that guy not, no, that, candidly, like, that guy should get suspended from his

01:13:01.900 job for saying something like that. 1.00

01:13:02.820 Like, what a cold hearted, that's, that's, jerk. 1.00

01:13:05.820 I want to use other words. 1.00

01:13:07.100 Well, just take the politics out of it.

01:13:08.380 Charlie was murdered.

01:13:09.540 Okay.

01:13:09.780 This is a murder.

01:13:11.240 This is the murder of someone that a lot of people knew that a lot of people were, were,

01:13:16.720 they were, he was beloved by many.

01:13:18.140 I don't know what the word for that is.

01:13:19.000 And it's, he was a human being that people actually knew in real life.

01:13:23.160 That's a shocking, it took me a second to like realize, but I started sitting here thinking

01:13:27.320 about it as you were talking, Tyler.

01:13:28.300 And I'm like, the heck actually, like, who the hell is this guy?

01:13:32.020 And what is his problem? 0.93

01:13:33.720 Like, who hurt you when you were a little kid that you don't understand?

01:13:36.940 Like, yeah, we should actually blow this up a little bit because it's, it's shockingly

01:13:40.500 offensive.

01:13:40.520 When you mentioned the Cubs, I didn't realize that's what the audio was.

01:13:42.940 No, that was the Mets announcer.

01:13:44.340 Sorry, the Mets announcer.

01:13:44.920 But he said Cubs story and I was like, I didn't hear anything about a Cubs story.

01:13:48.460 And then like, that's what it is in the headline and I hadn't heard it.

01:13:52.480 Imagine had somebody done that with MLK or JFK, right?

01:13:55.920 Like MLK and when MLK was assassinated or George, they actually delayed all MLB games

01:14:00.900 for two days.

01:14:02.080 Oh, interesting.

01:14:03.040 Yeah.

01:14:03.620 So when MLK was assassinated, they delayed all MLB games.

01:14:07.420 And it was originally, so Roberto Clemente, which is understandable.

01:14:11.100 No, we got a name.

01:14:12.360 And Roberto Clemente actually had organized some Pittsburgh players to take a day off

01:14:16.120 over that.

01:14:16.680 Guess who the name of it.

01:14:17.380 And then.

01:14:18.500 Sorry, I just got the name of the announcer.

01:14:20.120 Yeah.

01:14:20.500 His name is Gary Cohen.

01:14:22.380 Yeah, Gary Cohen.

01:14:23.300 Gary Cohen from the New York Mets. 1.00

01:14:27.000 What a jerk. 1.00

01:14:28.120 Gosh, I want to use different words. 1.00

01:14:29.920 Absolute jerk. 0.99

01:14:30.620 I'm trying to be, I'm trying to, I'm trying to like center myself. 1.00

01:14:33.540 He's a crumb creep. 0.99

01:14:35.300 He's a crumb bum. 0.99

01:14:36.240 There's just all this like crumb. 0.99

01:14:38.260 Incredibly, incredibly a nasty stuff online.

01:14:41.660 So I was, I posted on, on X earlier, some like excerpts from the Reddit thread about

01:14:47.060 it, where there's all these.

01:14:47.940 So you just have to know a lot of Redditors are like very creepy.

01:14:51.880 So I people, they were celebrating Charlie's death when it happened.

01:14:54.480 I have the screen caps to prove it.

01:14:56.060 And so here it's like, Mr. Ferguson, cultists gonna cult.

01:15:00.880 We have, let's see what else.

01:15:03.560 This has to rank up there with the weirdest missed games, right?

01:15:06.320 Does anyone have a list of interesting absences?

01:15:08.900 Yes.

01:15:09.100 It's very interesting.

01:15:10.040 He wanted to go to the memorial of his friend who was murdered all for some effing podcaster,

01:15:16.060 LMFAO, F the team, I guess.

01:15:19.920 Jeez, man.

01:15:20.820 Folks, this is what we're up against.

01:15:22.520 We're up against the fried mental model that's even being promoted by hopefully a soon to be

01:15:27.600 unemployed sports announcer. 0.98

01:15:29.280 Just a complete douchebag who wants to sit there and say, oh, that's weird. 0.99

01:15:34.260 That's weird. 1.00

01:15:35.100 Gary?

01:15:35.880 Is that a little weird?

01:15:36.720 Gary?

01:15:37.180 Strikes me as weird that you'd want to bury your friend.

01:15:39.440 Yeah.

01:15:39.720 Homie J420. 1.00

01:15:40.740 How can someone be teammates with this jerk? 1.00

01:15:42.960 Like, what does he think about his Hispanic teammates? 1.00

01:15:46.380 Unfathomably stupid person here. 1.00

01:15:48.020 No, think about it. 1.00

01:15:48.720 By the way, the Cubs can't win the division.

01:15:51.800 It's already locked down by the Brewers.

01:15:53.840 But they have clinched a playoff spot.

01:15:55.360 They've clinched a playoff spot, and they're eight games ahead in the wild card standings.

01:15:58.620 I want to be clear, the comments Blake is reading were not all said by Gary.

01:16:04.880 No, no, no.

01:16:05.200 Those were Redditers.

01:16:06.180 Only the clip we showed was Gary.

01:16:07.760 This is people reacting to it on a website of supporting it.

01:16:11.100 Annoying people.

01:16:11.960 Supporting it.

01:16:12.480 Yeah, and just agreeing, like, oh, it's so weird or bad.

01:16:16.140 This is what we're up against, folks.

01:16:17.880 These are the people who are celebrating Charlie's murder.

01:16:20.280 These are the people sitting up there and saying, oh, it's weird.

01:16:23.080 It's weird to miss a game because your friend was murdered, and you're going to a memorial.

01:16:28.620 Someone that you knew in real life, a personal contact of yours, was brutally murdered on live television.

01:16:38.480 Blake was standing just a few feet away from this, and we're sitting there acting like it's just, oh, some other news cycle or some other political cycle.

01:16:46.480 And I knew this was going to happen.

01:16:48.040 I knew this was going to happen.

01:16:49.120 It was going to become this litmus test on Charlie and the people who like Charlie and all this stuff.

01:16:53.320 But guys like Gary up there, sitting up there, just like guys with Jimmy Kimmel.

01:16:56.500 And I'm going to say it.

01:16:57.360 Joe Rogan, who I called out yesterday because he was being flippant about it, too.

01:17:00.480 He didn't care, you know, about what actually happened.

01:17:02.420 Like, you are not getting the weight of this moment.

01:17:05.120 No.

01:17:05.540 If you are coming at this with like, I don't really get it, well, you're wrong. 1.00

01:17:09.900 Okay, then just shut up. 0.99

01:17:11.560 Yeah. 1.00

01:17:11.880 That's all you have to do if you don't get it.

01:17:13.280 Somebody was murdered.

01:17:14.920 No, I'll say, come here.

01:17:16.020 Come here.

01:17:17.100 This is crazy, actually.

01:17:18.220 Come here.

01:17:18.380 Go tell that to Erica. 1.00

01:17:19.220 Yeah, this is actually crazy because what I'm realizing, Gary, Gary Cohen.

01:17:25.880 So this is what I'm realizing, though, is that the entirety of this story is Matt Shaw on defense.

01:17:31.320 When the truth of this story is that this Gary Cohen guy needs to be on defense because he's actually in the wrong.

01:17:39.520 Matt Shaw was in the right.

01:17:40.720 His friend was murdered in a political assassination, the likes of which this country has not seen since the 1960s.

01:17:46.080 Yes, he's our friend and brother in this, but they were actual friends that texted all the time.

01:17:50.400 They live next to each other in Arizona.

01:17:52.420 Charlie's a big Cubs fan.

01:17:53.620 They hung out weeks before on the field in Wrigley.

01:17:56.900 And good point, Tyler.

01:17:59.420 The game doesn't, whether they win or lose, changes nothing.

01:18:02.720 Nothing for the standings.

01:18:03.760 And not only that, but Erica had reached out and personally invited him and asked him to come.

01:18:08.740 It gets better.

01:18:09.440 This is from Caitlin Bennett, who once upon a time worked for us.

01:18:13.100 It's a long story.

01:18:14.420 She posted, I totally missed all this.

01:18:16.780 I was busy yesterday with everything else going on.

01:18:20.340 New York's Mets broadcaster Gary Cohen, who missed the game earlier when his dog died,

01:18:25.620 calls it weird that a Cubs player missed the game to attend Charlie's funeral.

01:18:29.680 So apparently Gary Cohen had missed a game when his dog died.

01:18:32.580 Is that verified?

01:18:33.720 Yeah.

01:18:35.040 I can put this up.

01:18:36.140 Oh my gosh.

01:18:36.740 Send that in the chat.

01:18:37.960 We'll get it up.

01:18:38.380 Isn't that crazy?

01:18:39.200 What outlet is that?

01:18:41.320 Can you tell or is it crying?

01:18:42.600 But it's not even about like why someone lost their job.

01:18:45.500 It's about people making light of what happened to Charlie.

01:18:49.520 And I am going to draw the line over it.

01:18:51.580 And I don't care if I lose bookings or whatever.

01:18:55.580 It's just, it's wrong.

01:18:57.040 What you're doing is wrong.

01:18:58.900 And I don't care if you're Jimmy Kimmel or Joe Rogan or Gary Cohen, whoever. 0.97

01:19:02.700 I'm going to call all of you out because it's sick. 0.67

01:19:05.640 Okay.

01:19:05.920 What happened to Charlie is sick.

01:19:08.220 It's not funny.

01:19:09.200 It's not the brunt of a joke.

01:19:11.400 It's not something to be made light of.

01:19:13.340 And it's certainly not weird that people would be great.

01:19:16.820 Think about what that does to everyone here in this building beyond Charlie's family and

01:19:21.740 the immediacy.

01:19:22.360 But the people in this building, the people of Turning Point, the Turning Point kids, that

01:19:27.740 he's like saying if something happens to you and people care, well, that's weird.

01:19:32.420 Gosh, this is from this year, too.

01:19:33.760 That's weird.

01:19:34.040 April 21st, 2025.

01:19:35.660 He missed a game.

01:19:36.800 I can't believe you missed a game, Gary Cohen.

01:19:38.880 That strikes me as really weird for your dog's death.

01:19:42.420 Oh, I'm sorry.

01:19:43.580 I mean, I know we got a lot of pet lovers out here.

01:19:45.520 And candidly, I wouldn't care, except for friend gets murdered, wife calls and asks you

01:19:53.580 to come.

01:19:54.460 It's crazy.

01:19:55.220 And you miss a game.

01:19:57.200 You miss a game because your dog died. 1.00

01:20:00.200 You coward. 1.00

01:20:01.640 Oh, my God. 1.00

01:20:02.600 You're so out of touch.

01:20:03.960 Which, by the way, I have nothing against.

01:20:04.780 The worst words are coming to mind, and I'm burying them because I want to honor the Lord.

01:20:09.240 I have nothing against people mourning their pets die.

01:20:10.940 I have nothing against that, of course.

01:20:12.520 It's just like, how dare he come out against Shaw?

01:20:16.300 It's crazy.

01:20:17.960 Well, no.

01:20:18.900 By the way, we have a phone number here.

01:20:20.440 I know it's Cubs 923.

01:20:23.840 Oh, it's up.

01:20:24.520 Yeah, if you want to call the Mets and if you share our frustration, feel free.

01:20:28.380 While you're at it, you can complain about the Mets melting down.

01:20:31.400 Let's say the number.

01:20:32.200 Let's say the number.

01:20:33.040 Yeah, here's the number.

01:20:34.100 They might listen to this later or during the week.

01:20:36.680 It's 866-239-1284.

01:20:40.220 It's 866-239-1284. 0.98

01:20:42.420 You should just call and let them know that you think Gary Cohen is a dirtbag. 0.94

01:20:48.060 And that's fine. 0.73

01:20:49.980 And tell him that, you know, goodness, like, have some humanity.

01:20:54.240 Have some heart.

01:20:55.060 Get in touch with your, like, emotions.

01:20:57.680 Pray, Gary, because something's wrong with you if you've got a problem with somebody going to their friend's funeral that was just murdered in cold blood.

01:21:05.280 And, by the way, that transformed the shape and trajectory of the history of this country.

01:21:10.080 Less than six months ago, Gary skipped a game because his dog died.

01:21:14.320 Less than six months ago.

01:21:15.760 Anyways, listen, I don't know Gary Cohen.

01:21:18.380 Maybe he's nice and this was a bad moment.

01:21:22.520 Okay?

01:21:23.660 I'm just going to surmise that my instincts tell me that if you are this much of a dirtbag to say this about somebody, just off the cuff, that, like, probably there's something more wrong.

01:21:35.120 He could apologize to Eric.

01:21:36.080 Yeah, he should apologize.

01:21:37.760 He should apologize to Matt Shaw.

01:21:39.280 Matt Shaw.

01:21:39.800 Just apologize to Matt Shaw.

01:21:41.240 Leave her out of this. 0.99

01:21:42.580 But, like, you know, apologize to Matt.

01:21:44.840 He's a good guy.

01:21:46.100 How about an apology, Gary?

01:21:47.420 It's not that hard.

01:21:48.860 I'm sorry.

01:21:49.640 And not in private, by the way.

01:21:50.980 In public.

01:21:51.700 Yeah, we got broadcast.

01:21:53.160 Apology.

01:21:53.760 Are they going to make the playoffs?

01:21:54.780 Are the Mets making the playoffs?

01:21:55.920 The Mets are in the playoffs right now but are kind of at risk of blowing it.

01:22:00.140 Cubs are in for sure.

01:22:01.460 And they're just fighting for seeding.

01:22:02.740 We do rumble rants.

01:22:04.220 They're their last spot.

01:22:05.240 Yeah, we have a rumble rant.

01:22:06.940 Yeah, let's read a few of these.

01:22:08.120 I think we have three of them to go here.

01:22:10.120 So, first of all, Blue Used To Be Cool gave 20.

01:22:15.700 Thank you for continuing Charlie's legacy.

01:22:17.840 I am a 45-year-old Wisconsinite who owes Charlie and TPUSA for helping me get off the sidelines and doorknock and get involved.

01:22:25.980 Oh, one of Tyler's people.

01:22:26.720 I will never sit idle again.

01:22:28.760 God bless you.

01:22:30.060 Blue used to be cool.

01:22:31.240 Blue did used to be cool.

01:22:32.520 And I'm still butthurt to this day that thanks to the 2000 election, we got stuck with blue as the liberal color and red as the conservative color.

01:22:39.200 Wait, what?

01:22:39.520 I like blue better as a color.

01:22:40.460 What year was that?

01:22:41.540 2000.

01:22:41.920 Your 2000.

01:22:42.640 That's kind of what solidified.

01:22:43.840 Yeah, they used to swap them back and forth.

01:22:45.240 And blue is the right-wing color everywhere else.

01:22:47.120 It's the royal color.

01:22:48.560 Well, red is the commies, yeah.

01:22:50.680 I have never liked that we got stuck with that.

01:22:52.660 But, you know, that's how it is.

01:22:53.920 But thank you and everyone else.

01:22:55.340 One of the best ways you can honor Charlie is to get involved yourself.

01:22:58.720 That's what you would always tell people to do.

01:23:00.640 Don't be a passive consumer.

01:23:02.100 Don't just watch live streams like this one.

01:23:04.780 Get out there.

01:23:05.680 Do things.

01:23:06.560 Talk to people.

01:23:07.940 You know, whip the votes of your family, of your neighborhood, of your friends.

01:23:12.720 Which, by the way, we have something coming up.

01:23:15.460 So, door knocking here in Arizona.

01:23:17.640 We're going to have opportunities.

01:23:18.760 We're going to be talking about them and posting about them.

01:23:20.700 But we have some in Arizona this next month.

01:23:23.440 The mission continues.

01:23:25.440 KDP gave 10.

01:23:26.860 I am dedicating a chaplet for y'all's peace and protection.

01:23:30.460 You are all such good men.

01:23:31.780 Take care of yourselves.

01:23:33.100 Did y'all see Scooball throw that 90-mile-per-hour baseball straight into that guy's face?

01:23:38.240 I didn't see that.

01:23:39.060 I don't know if they mean Shaw or someone else.

01:23:41.120 I try to assume the best.

01:23:44.000 I assume that was not intentional.

01:23:46.140 That would be very nasty.

01:23:47.740 As a baseball player, throwing at people actually can be extraordinarily dangerous.

01:23:53.100 So, I actually have a lot of respect for baseball.

01:23:57.460 That thing can do some damage. 1.00

01:23:58.820 So, hopefully, everybody's okay.

01:24:00.360 I did not see this.

01:24:01.400 DJ Galwitz gave 10.

01:24:03.380 I know you're flooded with chapter requests.

01:24:05.260 How can I request to organize a sanctioned homeschool co-op?

01:24:09.140 Turning Point Homeschool Co-op.

01:24:10.680 Use the TPUSA community to create a standard curriculum.

01:24:14.440 Do we have?

01:24:15.300 Yeah.

01:24:15.760 We actually have specialty activism hubs that we do with homeschool.

01:24:20.240 So, the homeschool co-op, so through TP Turning Point Education, they actually work with homeschool groups directly.

01:24:30.580 So, you can go just search for Turning Point Education.

01:24:34.580 They will help you with that.

01:24:35.780 And then, we also have chapters specifically for co-ops.

01:24:39.860 So, if that's the question, you just go right to tpusastudents.com, and you can start a chapter or a hub for homeschool.

01:24:50.120 Great.

01:24:51.380 I actually got something in just now that it's not a rumble rant.

01:24:57.980 And I can't say it, because I don't know if I have permission to say it, but I'm just going to say it, that there is a person who, I guess, Charlie...

01:25:10.900 So, not a Redditor.

01:25:12.280 ...talked to.

01:25:14.080 Well, hold on on that.

01:25:16.600 Talked to at one of the campus events.

01:25:19.400 I'll leave it at that.

01:25:20.160 And this person has said that Charlie was a huge motivation, and says that they have decided to re-enter the church, accept Jesus, into their life, and will be detransitioning.

01:25:40.120 Wow.

01:25:40.980 Whoa.

01:25:41.500 And said that because of everything that happened with Charlie, it had a huge impact on their life, and that's, yeah.

01:25:52.560 It's awesome.

01:25:53.440 But that's an impact that Charlie...

01:25:55.400 I have some more details, but I'm going to give it out.

01:25:57.180 That's incredible.

01:25:57.860 That's incredible.

01:25:58.700 We love hearing that.

01:25:58.820 Because if they were on camera, I don't want to make it like a thing.

01:26:00.420 Exactly.

01:26:01.060 Exactly.

01:26:02.100 But...

01:26:02.580 I think we're closing out here in a moment, but we got one last from Zuzu's Petals.

01:26:06.940 Conservative Christian is the new normal. 0.99

01:26:10.420 That is a...

01:26:11.100 Anyone know the reference?

01:26:11.960 Zuzu's Petals?

01:26:12.640 Yeah, from It's a Wonderful Life.

01:26:14.380 There you go.

01:26:14.700 It's a Wonderful Life.

01:26:15.360 Oh.

01:26:15.680 The greatest movies.

01:26:17.560 Because it's when he gets back from...

01:26:20.380 When he gets back.

01:26:21.300 He never existed, but then he says, I want to exist, and then he exists again, and he looks in his pocket, and he's got Zuzu's Petals.

01:26:26.260 It means he's back in.

01:26:26.820 Zuzu's Petals! 0.97

01:26:27.280 They're there!

01:26:28.180 Oh, yes!

01:26:29.060 Mary!

01:26:29.440 It's me, George!

01:26:30.160 Mary!

01:26:30.900 Mary!

01:26:31.520 Don't you know me?

01:26:32.440 I love that.

01:26:33.140 I love that movie so much.

01:26:33.840 I love that movie.

01:26:34.660 What a great movie.

01:26:34.980 Everyone watch that.

01:26:35.480 Watch it right now.

01:26:36.920 Do you know that was filmed in Los Angeles?

01:26:38.620 Zuzu's Petals was not filmed in New York?

01:26:40.600 Everything got filmed in Los Angeles.

01:26:41.900 Yeah, it was filmed in Los Angeles, and they brought in the snow, and yeah.

01:26:46.840 I think we've had Zuzu's Petals actually contribute to us before, because we talked about this.

01:26:51.940 I almost named my youngest daughter Zuzu.

01:26:54.220 Let's go.

01:26:54.520 After It's a Wonderful Life.

01:26:55.660 That would have been great.

01:26:56.400 I love how, by the way, I'm just going to say it, since we haven't really done any thought crimes tonight, we have to do one,

01:27:01.700 that when he goes to, like, the nightmarish upside-down world, and he looks up his wife, Mary, what is it, the mangel's Clarence, and he goes, oh, you don't want to see Mary, you don't want to see that, George, why not?

01:27:16.280 And he goes, she never married, she works at the library, she's a spinster!

01:27:20.280 She's a spinster! 1.00

01:27:21.180 The worst possible thing. 0.98

01:27:22.840 It's not his brother being dead, it's not his uncle being in the madhouse.

01:27:27.560 He's okay with all that.

01:27:28.700 He's okay with all that.

01:27:30.160 This is the perfect place to rap.

01:27:31.780 But in the 1940s, that was a, like, nightmarish outcome.

01:27:34.480 Oh, I know, the value system, it's such a shocker.

01:27:37.560 All right, it's a good place to rap, guys, so Jake, or Jack, take us home.

01:27:40.420 I don't know why I just call you Jake.

01:27:41.700 Okay, Andy.

01:27:42.560 Jake Tapper?

01:27:44.000 Ardrew.

01:27:44.680 Jack Taper?

01:27:45.420 I don't even know where to go with that one.

01:27:46.660 Arthur Colvette.

01:27:49.060 Yeah, folks, what can I say?

01:27:50.340 It is the second Thought Crime Thursday that we've done with our fifth member on assignment with God, 0.93

01:27:58.140 and he's going to be on that assignment for a long time.

01:28:01.520 Until we meet again.

01:28:02.460 One last thing.

01:28:03.360 And we're going to hold it down.

01:28:04.020 Just someone sneaking in.

01:28:05.080 You guys got to send these a little bit earlier or you'll miss them.

01:28:07.860 All right, all right, all right.

01:28:08.560 If I see, gifted five subscriptions.

01:28:10.840 Ooh, now we're a real live stream show.

01:28:12.280 People are gifting subscriptions.

01:28:13.520 That's another thing you can do.

01:28:14.400 Thank you very much.

01:28:15.580 And then Benji63, I think I've seen that name before, too.

01:28:18.420 He gave 20.

01:28:19.660 I've never had many women to look up to in my life, but Erica has become number one. 0.92

01:28:25.180 What a strong woman, full of faith, that every woman should strive to be like. 0.74

01:28:28.880 God bless her, and God bless her kids. 1.00

01:28:30.460 Thank you, Benji, so much.

01:28:32.560 And we all look up to her.

01:28:34.000 I think we're all taller than Erica, but we all look up to her.

01:28:35.660 I actually like the team in the studio is coming up with names.

01:28:38.460 Kylie says, Andrizzle.

01:28:39.840 I could go with that.

01:28:41.540 And Caboose says, Admiral Andrew, which I'm going to fully endorse.

01:28:46.020 Absolutely.

01:28:46.300 I fully endorse.

01:28:47.260 No, absolutely not.

01:28:48.120 The Admiral?

01:28:49.200 Sorry, the naval guy over here is like, meh.

01:28:51.500 No, actually, you know what we call you, right?

01:28:54.500 No, I don't want to hear it.

01:28:55.160 Let's wrap.

01:28:55.580 No, it's good.

01:28:56.120 Let's wrap.

01:28:56.420 We have a good one.

01:28:57.100 Oh, you do?

01:28:57.660 What do you call him?

01:28:58.040 Yeah, it's AK-47.

01:28:58.960 After your age.

01:28:59.620 Oh, yeah.

01:29:00.000 Yeah, we always call him AK-47.

01:29:00.960 Yeah, we all call him AK-47.

01:29:02.420 Just messing with me.

01:29:03.080 Hey, eventually, I'm going to really like that.

01:29:04.260 If he's 47, he looks great.

01:29:07.580 Real quick on the chats, though.

01:29:09.140 I was guesting for Tim Pool a couple of days because he was sick before all this happened.

01:29:13.680 And one of the things that I'd love for this to be, you know, if we could carry on the

01:29:19.100 tradition here as well, one of the things that his subscribers or people do in the chat

01:29:24.320 is they put in a super chat or a rumble rant from the delivery room when one of them has

01:29:32.420 a baby or like their spouse has a baby or something.

01:29:34.380 Oh, that's incredible.

01:29:35.380 Which is like, if you get engaged.

01:29:36.320 And it happens like a bunch, by the way.

01:29:38.260 Yeah, if you get engaged or have babies, we want to hear from you.

01:29:39.880 And I guest host it three days in a row, and it happened twice with his audience.

01:29:44.520 That's amazing.

01:29:45.240 Like, twice in three days, which is like...

01:29:47.400 That is an incredible tradition.

01:29:48.780 So good.

01:29:49.260 It's good.

01:29:49.660 I like to honor and celebrate the good things in life.

01:29:51.620 Exactly.

01:29:52.160 100%.

01:29:52.640 Celebrate the life-giving things and the things that honor God and honor our country.

01:29:56.260 I think, if anything, it's that we've learned over the last couple of days.

01:30:00.720 I was talking to Dr. Drew today, and he said there's two big issues, right?

01:30:06.060 First is the new normal, and you really do have to deal with the new normal, and that's

01:30:09.680 hard questions, and we all have to deal with that.

01:30:13.720 And number two is the grief.

01:30:15.580 And he said, you got to lean into grief.

01:30:17.660 You can't deny it.

01:30:18.860 You can't squelch it.

01:30:20.620 You got to accept it and lean into it.

01:30:22.920 And I think maybe, in a sense, us staying on mission and staying on point is a way to

01:30:30.260 do that.

01:30:30.640 And I love the fact that the show is still going, because I don't know if I'd be able

01:30:37.220 to do it without all you guys and without everybody being here.

01:30:40.960 Yeah.

01:30:41.160 It's been nice to have everybody around the office and around town, and it's been a huge

01:30:46.940 key part for me.

01:30:48.100 I know that.

01:30:48.560 Yeah, it's not about speeches or followers or tweets or whatever.

01:30:55.240 It's about just being with your family, being with your people.

01:30:58.420 Yeah, exactly.

01:31:00.320 Got to do it.

01:31:01.300 All right, folks, on that very non-thought-crimey note, we are going to go and remind you to

01:31:09.480 go out there and commit more thought crime.

01:31:11.760 Thought crime is death.
