00:04:57.080Today's indictment reflects this Department of Justice's commitment to holding those who abuse positions of power accountable for misleading the American people.
00:05:06.880We will follow the facts in this case.
00:05:12.700And if he is convicted, he will face up to five years in prison.
00:05:17.120Actual sentences for federal crimes are typically less than maximum penalties.
00:05:22.480But a federal district court judge will determine any sentence after considering the U.S. sentencing guidelines and any other statutory factors.
00:05:33.680And, of course, he draws a Biden judge.
00:06:11.720Well, we have some really good news on top of really good news.
00:06:14.800Besides the whole Comey saga, we have got Dinesh D'Souza, who is going to join us at halftime, the creator of Obama's America and 2000 Mules.
00:06:28.540Dinesh D'Souza, he came to the United States as an exchange student in 1978.
00:06:33.200He graduated in 1983 from Dartmouth College, and he has just been a powerhouse ever since, and he is going to talk about his new movie, which I've been able to watch, and I love.
00:10:53.800So ladies and gents, I hope you've got your K-Leave on.
00:10:57.820It started with a mission, a holistic RN, creating a pure natural skin care for her Desert Storm veteran husband.

00:11:54.180They actually have this little place for you to go and shop.
00:15:54.060I remember he was on the news saying they should put Trump in a double wide in the middle of nowhere with an ankle martyr and arrest him and put him there for the rest of his life.
00:16:16.140We've just been waiting for somebody to do something about it for once.
00:16:20.300But I know that we are going to have our Blackout Coffee in hand as we do.
00:16:25.180We are so happy to say that Blackout Coffee is back and part of the Litterbox family.
00:16:30.320You all asked for it, and we heard you loud and clear.
00:16:33.480The best coffee in America is back in the Litterbox, and it's about time.
00:16:37.500If you're new here, let me tell you, Blackout Coffee isn't just some random brand that we picked.
00:16:42.860This coffee is roasted right here in the USA by people who love this country, stand up for freedom, and refuse to bow down to the woke mob.
00:20:55.780They had to make a decision in a very short amount of time.
00:20:59.640And every time they arrested somebody, I don't care if it was for jaywalking, they came in there with full SWAT teams right in front of their children in the middle of the night.
00:21:14.260They shouldn't even have hinted that they were going to do it, and they should have raided his house.
00:21:20.020Just, you know, just like they did Roger Stone and everything and showed it on the air, handcuffed him in his underwear, made him do the perp walk.
00:21:31.200I mean, why does we always take the easy way out?
00:21:39.060You do something wrong, and in order not to do something wrong, you sit there and you can only imagine yourself being hauled out there in your undies, right?
00:21:46.380Going, okay, for the whole world to see.
00:23:28.020I thought I heard you say you didn't know whether there were FBI agents or informants or human sources in the Capitol or in the vicinity on January 6th.
00:24:03.200I mean, is he going to go and is he going to hop on to the media meatheads' different roundtable discussions and start answering questions?
00:24:10.560No, I think he's probably going to hightail it to another country.
00:25:16.600President Trump smacks down a reporter asking a gotcha question regarding Comey indictment and signals more indictments are coming against the deep state.
00:25:27.780President Trump, are you worried now that the next time there's a Democratic president, they will indict your FBI director or people in your administration?
00:25:43.120Well, that's what they tried to do, right?
00:44:01.220And there's about five minutes of it in the film.
00:44:04.180But it's Netanyahu really in the zone, meaning not like you normally see him.
00:44:09.280I asked him, like, what do you think of Jesus?
00:44:11.000Because I thought it would be fascinating to hear a Jewish leader of a Jewish state comment on the most famous Jew in the world, namely Jesus Christ.
00:44:18.380And then I also asked him to respond to some of the things that Tucker Carlson said in his conversation with Ted Cruz.
00:44:24.580So, in one way, this is a very timeless sort of biblical film.
00:44:29.860It's got archaeology on King David and Jeremiah and Pontius Pilate.
00:44:34.200But on the other hand, it's like ripped out of the headlines.
00:44:37.920It deals with, you know, the left-wing calling Israel a colonial power.
00:44:43.760And it deals with the right-wing critique, like, how do you know the Jews of today are really descended from the ancient Israelites in the Bible?
00:44:51.940That question is answered in the film.
00:45:07.420Hey, guys, if I can say the website is the Dragons, plural, thedragonsprophecyfilm.com because it's in theaters for two days, October 6th, October 8th.
00:48:49.240Well, I think the reason a lot of people are skeptical, Mike, I'm in my 60s, is because every time we go to the Middle East, they always say it's going to be something like that.
00:48:57.240And then we get drawn into something for years and years, which is not our fault.
00:49:03.780I mean, look, I think we can learn here a little bit from Reagan, because the Soviet Union, when they invaded Afghanistan in 1979, 100,000 troops, Reagan was like, listen, we're not going in there.
00:49:16.960We're not sending a single U.S. soldier.
00:49:19.380Now, we might give him some Stinger rockets to shoot down some Soviet helicopters.
00:49:24.820We're going to help these Afghans chase the Soviets out.
00:49:28.340But we're going to use military force only as a last, last resort.
00:49:33.500Now, that idea got forgotten somehow under the Bush years, both the father and the son.
00:49:38.620And we started this military adventurism, which lasted about 15 years and turns out to have been a horrible mistake.
00:49:59.720They ended up getting more than what we ever thought that they were going to get.
00:50:05.100I mean, so we talk about Charlie Kirk and we talk about moving forward.
00:50:10.360I mean, with the election of President Trump, the strategic U.S. strikes on Iran and Charlie Kirk's turning point movement, which is energizing young conservatives.
00:50:21.460I mean, are we as a nation better prepared to fend off the prophetic looming invasion of radical ideologies that your film warns is central to the destiny of nations like America and Israel?
00:50:33.480Well, let's just say that the devil is on the march and his troops, which include the cultural left on one side and the radical Muslims on the other.
00:50:47.060These people are not only mobilizing, but they're working together.
00:50:50.260And so it's important, I think, for, let's just say, God's battalions, which, by the way, I think includes the nation of Israel, but also includes Christians, includes the United States of America.
00:51:02.920We need to, in a sense, equip ourselves and work together as well.
00:51:08.280You know, when people talk about the fact that this is a spiritual battle and a spiritual war, we have to realize it's a war ultimately of it's the war that goes back to the very beginning.
00:51:19.880I don't just mean to the Garden of Eden.
00:51:21.520I mean, even before that, the war in heaven between God and Lucifer.
00:51:25.540And here's the point that Lucifer actually, the devil, cannot beat God.
00:52:05.900And then let me morally try to corrupt the Christians and divide them from the Jews.
00:52:11.060So look, I mean, all of this is going on right now, which means that the devil is kind of in full high gear.
00:52:18.680And I think when Charlie Kirk, the message of renewal that so many people talked about at his funeral, I was there sitting right up the front.
00:52:26.460I love that idea. And I think I want this film to be a part of that renewal in which we are raising the level.
00:52:35.020We are obviously actively involved in politics, but we also recognize the larger stakes for the human soul.
00:52:42.160Oh, I think that's a wonderful, wonderful thing for you to, you know, for you to team up with this amazing thing that Charlie Kirk created.
00:52:51.660I mean, his legacy is going to go on indefinitely.
00:52:55.880I mean, this man just I I'm still not over the shock of the whole thing.
00:53:00.160We were live when when it all happened.
00:53:03.240And you want to talk about one of the toughest shows we've ever done.
00:53:06.540It was just heart wrenching and cat nose.
00:53:10.280I mean, he just when he winced, he saw a part of the video.
00:53:14.180You know how social media is when he winced.
00:53:19.520Oh, yeah. Well, I mean, Debbie and I saw that video together and we we just gave a look at each other.
00:53:25.120We didn't actually want to say the words, but the same thing was going through our head.
00:53:29.240We're like, we don't see how this poor kid can survive this.
00:53:33.380This looks like the worst kind of wound.
00:53:36.680And in fact, later, his pastor, Charlie's pastor, who was right there on the scene, said, listen, by the time we put him into the SUV, he was dead.
00:53:44.820Yeah, I really didn't know what to say at the time because it was live and I seen it and nobody else had seen it yet.
00:53:50.920And I was like, I just there's just no there's no surviving that.
00:53:53.960I didn't think past five or six seconds.
00:54:51.080And we have we have so many of those dragons out there in every corner just waiting.
00:54:57.580I mean, and when you start talking about Charlie Kirk and in his unwavering advocacy for Israel, you know, as a fulfillment of biblical prophecy through Turning Point USA and his assassination in September amid conspiracy theories.
00:55:12.960I mean, how does his legacy bolster the spiritual preparation needed to confront the end of time's battle depicted in the dragon's prophecy?
00:55:23.280Well, Charlie was a bridge builder, and I think he was trying to heal two types of divide that are now very present on the right.
00:55:32.700And we should be kind of forthright about it.
00:55:35.000One is the divide between the pro-Israel and the anti-Israel factions on the right.
00:55:41.640And this is very bad because we don't really want to chase either one of those factions away.
00:59:47.820I'm like, look, I'm going to put you on the scene of people at the mail-in drop boxes of the 2020 election, and you look and see what they're doing.
00:59:55.000See if it looks to you to be on the up and up.
00:59:57.420And similarly here with October 7th, it's like you're right there on the scene.
01:00:02.080So young people like this because there's a realism to it.
01:00:06.240And obviously we live in a visual culture today where people like film.
01:00:11.940They like film as a medium and as a stimulant to discussion.
01:00:14.820It's a big reason why I moved from being primarily a book writer to now making the documentary films that I do.
01:00:21.460And we try to make them a lot like movies, very cinematic, very theatrical.
01:00:26.820So, yeah, I'm hoping that the film is an educational mechanism, a mechanism to strengthen people's renewal, their sense of spirituality.
01:00:35.760And I'd love to find a way to show it to all these young people, this whole generation that seems to be very bewildered and confused, somewhat angry, very suspicious, and very open to sometimes some very outlandish theories, which really don't square with the facts.
01:00:55.240A film like this can, I think, present things in a very sober light.
01:00:59.680And also, remember, you know, I don't have a dog in this fight.
01:01:17.680Oh, well, you know, there's this kind of tendency to go there.
01:01:21.420And I do want to say at the outset that I've, you know, Debbie and I, my wife, we've donated a lot of money to biblical archaeology in Israel.
01:01:28.300So I want to clarify that they don't pay us.
01:01:48.980Do you believe that these synchronized events, including Trump's pro-Israel policies, are divine signals, urging believers to become dragon slayers in the face of looming invasions?
01:02:01.700You know, Trump is, Trump represents in a way the guy who, in some ways, I don't think thinks of himself as a biblical figure.
01:02:11.120But he really is, because in my adult life, I used to revere these figures like Abraham, and I would think of them as models, paragons of virtue.
01:02:22.580But as an adult, when I began to look at those stories, you begin to realize that all these guys are fairly dubious characters, right?
01:02:30.460I mean, there, Abraham himself basically passes off his wife as his sister, you know.
01:02:36.120Then you have Jacob pulling scams and trying to get more flocks for himself.
01:02:41.100David's got his eye on Bathsheba and concocting a plan for how to get rid of her husband.
01:02:46.160So, you know, the guy in Israel said something really funny to me.
01:02:50.020He said, you know, if God was not in the Old Testament, you would think that the Old Testament was written by rank anti-Semites.
01:02:56.600Because all these great, supposedly great figures are all fallen, they're flawed, they're up to shenanigans.
01:03:07.820And I think Trump, in that sense, can very much be seen as a sort of instrument of God at a very critical time in world history and even in biblical history.
01:03:18.380So whether or not Trump really sees it that way or recognizes it that way, I think he is a part of this great melodrama.
01:03:28.360Oh, and he plays his part perfectly, I think.
