00:01:07.000His spirit, his love of this country, he's done an amazing job building one of the most powerful youth organizations ever created, Turning Point USA.
00:01:15.000We will not embrace the ideas that have destroyed countries, destroyed lives, and we are going to fight for freedom on campuses across the country.
00:01:44.000You've rarely seen this kind of focus and commitment.
00:01:47.000Seriously, they recently shared with me that they are doubling down and want to literally double their number of total happy customers in the next year.
00:01:55.000So here's the deal: if you're struggling with back, neck, shoulder, hip, or knee pain, or even general muscle aches and pain, then I'm suggesting you order their three-week quick start, still discounted only $19.95, about a dollar a day to see if we can get you out of pain.
00:02:15.000I was hoping I never had to address this.
00:02:19.000I was hoping for quite some time that what I feared would not actually materialize.
00:02:26.000Over the last couple of years, I have seen a trend growing in this country.
00:02:32.000I've been seeing a pattern of events that I've been watching very carefully, praying, actually praying, that would not materialize into what we are now experiencing.
00:02:45.000Now, what I'm about to discuss with you here is a very, very serious matter.
00:02:50.000It's factual, it's historical, and it's one of the few things that we are going to explore on this program where I don't have a great solution.
00:03:01.000But this is one of the most important points of commentary that I am going to give this year and the last couple years.
00:03:10.000And it's time to put everything that we have seen on the landscape and show how it's a pattern of behavior from the most powerful people in our country.
00:03:21.000So last week, I saw what you saw, which seemed to be just another example of a power-hungry Department of Justice overstepping its bounds.
00:03:35.000Now, usually raids executed by the Department of Justice are saved for drug or human traffickers, people that are smuggling weapons, people that are involved in the worst possible crimes imaginable.
00:03:50.000Now, the threshold to get a search warrant is rather extraordinary.
00:03:54.000You have to be able to prove to a judge not just reasonable doubt that the person may have committed a crime, but no, to get a search warrant, you must prove to a judge that there is an imminent threat that there's either a crime being committed at the scene where the search warrant will be executed or evidence will be destroyed.
00:04:17.000And so it's even a higher threshold to go after an attorney, a lawyer, let alone the president's attorney and lawyer.
00:04:24.000Now, Rudy Giuliani has come on this show quite often.
00:04:28.000Rudy Giuliani sometimes steps over his own words.
00:04:31.000I consider Rudy to be a good American.
00:04:33.000I would handle some things a little bit differently.
00:04:36.000He contradicts himself sometimes on television, but you're always rooting for him because you know that his heart is in the right place.
00:04:46.000Rudy Giuliani is not Ted Kaczynski, the Unabomber.
00:04:49.000And Rudy Giuliani is not Eric Rudolph, the centennial park bomber.
00:04:54.000Rudy Giuliani was America's mayor, the man who saved the city of New York and brought New York City from the ashes back to greatness, who led America to a common ethos and a common theme of regrowth and rebuilding and brighter days ahead.
00:05:13.000Rudy Giuliani, obviously, had been outspoken in his support of President Trump.
00:05:22.000Rudy Giuliani always seemed to be in the middle of every single major event of the last couple years.
00:05:31.000The man who brought New York City out of 9-11, the man who brought crime rates down dramatically in New York, also just happened to be the president's lawyer, not just anyone's president's lawyer, but the most hated president by the mainstream press and the activist media.
00:05:49.000And of the, let's just call it the new left.
00:05:55.000The new left that is not playing games anymore, everybody.
00:05:58.000This is not a left that we can get along with.
00:06:00.000This is a left that is playing for keeps.
00:06:02.000They are going for the jugular, the cultural blitzkrieg is on, shock and awe.
00:06:07.000So Rudy Giuliani was in the middle of almost every major controversy.
00:06:12.000The first impeachment fight, Rudy Giuliani was front and center.
00:06:17.000Hunter Biden's laptop, Rudy Giuliani, was front and center.
00:06:21.000He's almost the forest gump of American politics.
00:06:24.000He just happens to always be where the action is.
00:06:58.000Well, it's because they say they had a high threshold of evidence, but for what?
00:07:02.000Was Rudy Giuliani laundering millions of dollars, allegedly?
00:07:07.000Was Rudy Giuliani trafficking children across the southern border?
00:07:12.000Was Rudy Giuliani doing any of those things?
00:07:14.000No, they have suspicion that on Rudy Giuliani's devices that Rudy Giuliani was representing a foreign Ukrainian oligarch without filing the proper registration records.
00:07:31.000That's the reason that they have to go guns ablazing into Rudy Giuliani's apartment, where a subpoena very well might have been sufficient.
00:07:40.000And according to Rudy Giuliani's own telling of events, Rudy Giuliani said that he offered to give them Hunter Biden's devices and laptop, and they refused.
00:07:55.000The very same office that raided Rudy Giuliani was the office that he ran, that he built, that he oversaw, that he managed, that prosecuted some of the nastiest criminals on the Eastern seaboard.
00:08:38.000Those of you that listen to me a lot and listen to our podcast, you know that I am not one to compare everything that's going on to the National Socialist Workers' Party gaining power in the 1930s and 40s.
00:08:52.000What's happening right now is the night of the long knives, otherwise known as Operation Hummingbird.
00:09:04.000It was a political purge that started from 1934, June 30th of 1934, to July 2nd of 1934, where 150 political dissidents in a short period of time, three days, were taken out.
00:09:21.000Now, this is obviously a smaller example of that.
00:09:28.000And I want you to think to yourself, is this justice?
00:09:34.000Or is this people using their absolute political power to destroy the opposition?
00:09:41.000And then we're also going to explore why is this a pattern?
00:09:45.000Have you ever heard of the Red Terror before?
00:09:48.000How did Saddam Hussein treat his political opponents and his political dissidents?
00:09:54.000Political repression, using the people at your disposal to go after those that you disagree with, that you deem to be a threat, is not just likely.
00:10:09.000It is inevitable when a small group of power-hungry sociopaths take over your country and your government.
00:10:20.000I'm not even going to get into whether or not he did anything right or wrong.
00:10:22.000That's up to him and his lawyers to figure out.
00:10:26.000Instead, what I'm getting at here, what's so obvious, is a disturbing fact pattern right in front of us that is showing that the people that control the apparatus of our government, they're not playing around anymore.
00:10:46.000This is not a back and forth for the pursuit of ideas.
00:10:49.000It's not a Democrat Party that is willing to negotiate.
00:10:54.000No, when you study the Night of the Long Knives or Operation Hummingbird, and again, I am not one to just throw around these examples, you realize that people only do this when they think this is one of the final moves on the chessboard.
00:11:11.000I want you to think to yourselves, what do they have in common?
00:11:17.000Steve Bannon, Roger Stone, the National Rifle Association, Matt Gates, Michael Flynn, Wayne Lapierre, Rudy Giuliani, Paul Manafort, Donald Trump Jr., Dinesh D'Souza, Donald Trump, and Michael Cohen.
00:11:42.000What do all those people have in common?
00:11:45.000All those people have either been severely investigated to a point of reputational damage or indicted by our criminal justice system in the last two years.
00:12:24.000Dinesh D'Souza was willing to tell the truth about Barack Obama, that he was not who he said he was, that he was not trying to unify the country, instead, rule with an iron fist.
00:12:35.000Dinesh D'Souza made an illegal campaign contribution for a candidate that was spotted and flagged by the Federal Election Commission.
00:12:44.000This usually is remedied by a fine and a letter that says don't do it again.
00:12:48.000But instead, this was referred for criminal prosecution.
00:12:51.000And Dinesh D'Souza was indicted and he eventually pled guilty.
00:12:54.000The full force of the government came after Dinesh D'Souza to try to forever mark him as a felon because he dared tell the truth.
00:13:03.000He was pardoned by Donald Trump, thankfully.
00:13:27.000Started an organization called We Build the Wall.
00:13:30.000And last fall leading up to the election, Steve Bannon was indicted on multiple counts for breaking federal law in regards to fraudulent fundraising.
00:13:42.000Now, if you read the indictment, it's a very weak, very questionable fact pattern that they established.
00:13:50.000And Steve Bannon was pardoned by Donald Trump.
00:13:55.000What about the National Rifle Association?
00:13:58.000Well, they had to declare bankruptcy because Letitia James, the Attorney General of New York, decided to use her political power to investigate her political opponents.
00:14:10.000And the NRA, posting a $40 million deficit for a couple years running, has declared bankruptcy and has severely weakened the strongest civil rights organization in the country and the oldest civil rights organization in the country that fights for our Second Amendment rights and the freedom that protects all of our other rights.
00:14:35.000Wayne LaPierre, Steve Bannon, Roger Stone, Michael Flynn, the NRA, Matt Gates, Rudy Giuliani, Dinesh D'Souza.
00:14:43.000The people in power are not playing around anymore.
00:14:47.000This is a pattern that those of us that study totalitarianism like I do, and I really get in the weeds of it, as soon as I saw Rudy's apartment raided, I said, that's it.
00:14:58.000I have to comment on this, and I prayed I never had to.
00:15:01.000I prayed that the rank and file, the Justice Department, and the people that were running the top levels of our government would not use it for political purposes.
00:15:12.000And let me be very clear, the people that are part of our rank and file FBI, I think they do a very good job going after drug smugglers and child sex traffickers, but there's someone calling the shots that we don't know that is deploying these people.
00:15:30.000Someone in the suits and not in the boots that is making something seem alarmingly similar, mirroring almost identically this power, this pattern of the abuse of power.

00:17:03.000Michael Cohen was their first test case of how they could find someone and try to make him flip.
00:17:07.000And boy, did they make him squeal and flip.
00:17:11.000They got Paul Manafort, who has been pardoned.
00:17:14.000They got Roger Stone, who was also pardoned.
00:17:18.000They got Michael Flynn, where they literally went into the White House and entrapped him.
00:17:23.000And Peter Strzok and the rank and file of the FBI, or I should say the senior leadership of the FBI, not the rank and file.
00:17:31.000They still have not been held accountable.
00:17:32.000And Peter Strzok right now is teaching a college course at Georgetown University.
00:17:37.000Now, many of you, as you hear me go through this and you hear me talk about this, you're wondering where is the action against Hunter Biden, against Hillary Clinton, against Bill Clinton for writing Lolita Express with Jeffrey Epstein.
00:17:55.000And the sooner you realize that this game is rigged in the Justice Department, the better.
00:18:04.000And I hate to be that cynical about it.
00:18:06.000Let's look historically on how this happens.
00:18:46.000Instead, working within the confines and the systems of a short period of time to basically take them off the chessboard, to take them out of decent dialogue in society and make them bankrupt and unable to defend themselves.
00:19:00.000The incident became known as the Night of the Long Knives.
00:19:03.000Although the SA continued to exist, the purge had hobbled it.
00:20:03.000When Saddam Hussein came to power, he carried out a very public purge of more than 60 members of the ruling Bath Party, the organization that had once put him into power.
00:20:16.000There's a famous footage of Saddam Hussein, black and white footage of him watching the purge, the execution of these 60 people, because they were tried for treason.
00:20:27.000After Mao Zedong's death in 1976, a bitter struggle for power broke out at the top of the Communist Party.
00:20:34.000By 1978, Mao's chosen successor, Hawajo Feng, had been usurped by Zheng Jiping, a reformer who had been frozen out by Mao.
00:20:43.000In 1980, some of Mao's most extreme allies were put on trial.
00:20:47.000It was a political show trial, accompanied by a massive propaganda campaign.
00:21:09.000Until 2010, one man dominated the politics of Burma, Fan Shui, a self-styled senior general who reigned imperiously for more than two decades.
00:21:19.000For a brief time, the younger, more charismatic general, Kin Nguy, threatened to upset the power balance.
00:21:26.000Fuan Shi acted quickly, deposing him and putting him on trial for corruption and bribery.
00:21:32.000So make no mistake, not every one of these patterns of the Knight of Long Knives operates in the same way.
00:21:40.000He was jailed in 2005 for 44 years and was only freed recently from prison.
00:21:47.000I'm reading from a BBC article, Five Infamous Purges.
00:21:52.000You are living through a political purge.
00:21:56.000Not only on social media, not only culturally, not only book burning, and not only cancel culture.
00:22:01.000I'm talking about something much more serious.
00:22:05.000I'm talking about the people that control who gets to live in this society and who lives behind bars.
00:22:12.000Now, some of you are saying, well, Charlie, this is just a gang of criminals.
00:22:15.000Michael Cohen, Steve Bannon, Roger Stone.
00:22:19.000You show me the man, I'll show you the crime.
00:22:23.000As Cicero famously said, the more laws, the less justice.
00:22:29.000When you have a criminal code as complex, deep, and detailed as we have, and a federal enforcement bureaucracy as heavily staffed and financed as we have, almost anyone can go to jail for anything they might have done open to interpretation.
00:22:50.000Especially with people that have been entrepreneurs, have been in politics, have received payments and traveled the world like Rudy Giuliani did.
00:22:59.000They will find something on those devices.
00:23:02.000You see, they must make examples out of people.
00:23:05.000They can't allow certain behavior to go unchecked.
00:23:12.000That is why back in fall, we did an entire episode where I warned that if Donald Trump lost, he will likely get indicted in New York.
00:23:20.000Now, I'm not saying that he did anything worthy of that indictment.
00:23:48.000I do know that he has the full force of the federal government against him.
00:23:52.000I also know that the cartels are recruiting American teenagers to be part of their sex, gun, and drug trafficking across the southern border.
00:24:05.000Is the federal government going after that with the full force?
00:24:10.000It says right here on Fox News: cartels using social media to recruit U.S. teens.
00:24:15.000That would probably use, that would probably warrant some force from the federal government, some intervention.
00:24:22.000Meanwhile, Rudy Giuliani has come out to speak, and he said the FBI tapped his iCloud to go find his messages with Donald Trump during impeachment.
00:24:33.000Apple has granted the federal Bureau of Investigation access to Rudy Giuliani's phone and iCloud, according to Rudy and his lawyer, Robert Costello.
00:24:44.000Any one of your devices, if you back up your iCloud ever, is now open for examination and surveillance by our government.
00:24:52.000Now, some of you might say, I got nothing to hide.
00:25:00.000And all of the warnings, all of the communists that have fled here from Eastern Europe, from Cuba, from Venezuela, that have been trying to tell us what is coming here, I'm afraid to say it's happening now.
00:25:15.000And so Rudy is now going to be under the full examination of the federal government.
00:25:19.000So let me tell you how this is going to work.
00:25:23.000The same reason why they want to abolish the police department as St. Louis just abolished its police department to try to create a national police force.
00:25:32.000The reason they're going after Rudy is to get after Trump.
00:25:36.000They must make a public example out of him.
00:25:40.000He's too big of a threat, has too big of a following.
00:25:44.000They must make him a non-factor, and they want to put to bed not just Donald Trump, but his ideas.
00:25:50.000Restricting immigration, reforming our trade policy, and ending our foreign adventurism overseas, those three ideas must be put on a public show trial.
00:26:04.000But they also wanted the shock and awe campaign.
00:26:08.000They didn't want just a subpoena to Rudy Giuliani.
00:26:13.000No, they wanted to show the rest of the country that they are willing to get a warrant.
00:26:19.000They are willing to go in front of a judge and bust down your door.
00:26:25.000A couple in Alaska had just had their door busted down as the FBI was looking for Nancy Pelosi's laptop.
00:26:38.000So in Biden's America, Rudy Giuliani gets raided and Hunter Biden gets to become a college professor at Tulane.
00:26:48.000And so as I'm identifying this, this has been something that I've been praying on and I've been reflecting and I've been reading so much history and I didn't want to have to do this episode because I prayed it wasn't true.
00:27:18.000This is something that, regardless of your political affiliation, you should see very clearly what's happening here: intimidation, arrests.
00:27:29.000And I don't really even know how to deal with this.
00:27:34.000All we can do is talk about it because the more we talk about it, we can pray that we are going to expose this and make it less likely to continue.
00:27:46.000But the playbook of political repression that was perfected in Fidel's Cuba or Pol Pot's Cambodia or Mao's China is now being implemented at the highest levels of power in our country, being signed off upon by the current attorney general, and no one is safe.
00:28:09.000And I want to show where this leads inevitably.
00:28:13.000Because you might think you're immune to it and you just want to raise your kids.
00:28:36.000So why are you still paying over-inflated rates for wireless with Verizon T-Mobile or ATT when you could be getting the exact same coverage as one of those big carriers with Pure Talk?
00:28:44.000Except get this, it costs you less than half.
00:28:46.000The average family is saving over $800 a year.
00:28:49.000Right now, get unlimited talk, text, and six gigs of data for just over $30 a month.
00:28:54.000And if you go over on data, they don't charge you for it.
00:29:11.000Say Charlie Kirk, PeerTalk is simply smarter, wireless.
00:29:16.000Andrew from California says, Well, Charlie, I've been reading about Operation Hummingbird, and they literally rounded up a bunch of people and shot them.
00:29:25.000You can't be serious when you say that.
00:29:27.000Look, I'm obviously giving an example of what is happening.
00:29:31.000But they are reputationally going after people.
00:29:35.000They are rounding up the dissidents and intimidating them.
00:29:40.000So I stand by the comparison of it being Operation Hummingbird.
00:30:21.000And Joseph Stalin decided them to be class enemies of the poorer peasants.
00:30:27.000And basically, a kulak was a peasant in Russia wealthy enough to own a farm and hire labor.
00:30:33.000Because of certain market forces, they were able to succeed a little bit more.
00:30:40.000But then a campaign of de-kulakization, government officials empowered the everyday man to seize farms and kill some resistors and deported kulaks to labor camps and drove many to migrate to the cities following the loss of their property to the collective.
00:31:00.000So, what does that have to do with the Red Terror and the Knight of the Long Knives and Operation Hummingbird and what happened in China and in Burma?
00:31:09.000Is that they are going to empower local tyrants next?
00:31:17.000It might be in an apartment of New York that you've never seen before and the president's lawyer.
00:31:22.000But what if that same force of government is going to kick down your door because of how you voted, or a school board testimony that you gave, or a political donation that you sent in?
00:31:32.000Or maybe you just got on the wrong side of a business deal.
00:31:37.000You see, if the history of totalitarianism teaches us anything, is that there are no restraints, there's no stopping, is that this continues to grow and manifest in different ways.
00:31:50.000So, as Wayne Lapierre right now is under investigation criminally by the Internal Revenue Service, Dinesh D'Souza already got his sentence for making a movie they didn't like or giving a contribution against legal limits that they deem to be of a criminal nature.
00:32:09.000Matt Gates is under the most intense federal investigation one can be under.
00:32:16.000You got to ask yourselves the question: will I be next?
00:32:20.000Until the American people speak very clearly and loudly against what is so obviously happening right now, which is a purge of political opponents and dissidents in a form of show trials of stacked juries to try to keep people in permanent political power.
00:32:38.000This is something that we have more than enough evidence and precedent in.
00:32:44.000For all you Game of Thrones fans out there, this is the red wedding episode.
00:32:51.000And if you have no idea what I'm talking about, then just excuse what I just said.
00:32:55.000But if you're a Game of Thrones fan, you know exactly what I'm talking about.
00:33:02.000All we can do, this is one of the few things that we're ever going to talk about together here, that I don't have a good solution, except speech.
00:33:08.000The only solution I have is that we have to expose this, show the pattern, and ask questions and beg that our senators and congresspeople will get answers from law enforcement on how they are actually choosing these cases.
00:33:22.000Are they investigating people on both political sides the same?
00:33:25.000Is Hunter Biden getting the same scrutiny as Rudy Giuliani?
00:33:28.000Is the ACLU getting the same scrutiny as the National Rifle Association?
00:33:32.000These are questions that deserve answers.
00:33:35.000But their true prize, of course, is Trump.
00:33:38.000They want to go after him and they want to go after his family, want to go after his assets because he did something you're not supposed to do.
00:33:43.000He represented the people and he kept his promises.
00:33:48.000And he actually showed that anyone can become president.
