00:01:09.000 I want you to know we are lucky to have Charlie Kirk.
00:01:12.000 Charlie Kirk's running the White House, folks.
00:01:16.000 I want to thank Charlie.
00:01:17.000 He's an incredible guy.

00:01:38.000 Brought to you by the Loan Experts I Trust, Andrew and Todd at Sierra Pacific Mortgage at andrewandTodd.com.
00:01:47.000 Yesterday was the hearing of John Durham.
00:01:50.000 For years, there was a lot of hope put into the Durham investigation.
00:01:55.000 It was always out there.
00:01:57.000 It was kind of on the edges.
00:01:58.000 You'd hear a little bit of reports.
00:02:00.000 Three years ago in the summer of 2020, we saw him put an indictment forward against Klein Smith, the FBI agent who lied.
00:02:08.000 Certain people would say, oh, he's putting together kind of a major crime syndicate prosecution.
00:02:14.000 What exactly was he investigating?
00:02:17.000 Well, he had the role, the task, or the duty to investigate the investigators.
00:02:24.000 How many times have we heard in the nauseating fashion over and over and over again, no one is above the law?
00:02:31.000 No one is above the law.
00:02:33.000 Of course, we agree with that.
00:02:35.000 As the great one Mark Levin said, there is no law when it comes to being on the right versus the left.
00:02:40.000 It's not even a double standard of justice.
00:02:43.000 There's a multi-tiered standard of justice that if you have the right politics, you could basically do whatever you want.
00:02:49.000 Look at Hunter Biden's plea deal this week versus Donald Trump's 37-count indictment.
00:02:54.000 What I think animates the conservative base that is misunderstood by the media, intentionally misunderstood, is that there is a yearning for justice.
00:03:03.000 We do not trust the FBI.
00:03:05.000 Senator Ron Johnson was our program yesterday saying he does not trust the FBI.
00:03:10.000 We do not trust the Department of Justice.
00:03:12.000 We do not trust the CIA.
00:03:13.000 We do not trust major portions of our government.
00:03:18.000 And that power is abused for political purposes.
00:03:22.000 Peter Strzokstroke Smirk, Lisa Page, Andrew McCabe, and James Comey had a plan.
00:03:29.000 Now, mind you, the plan was a little bit sloppy.
00:03:32.000 It was the built-in assumption that Hillary Clinton was going to win the presidency. 0.85
00:03:36.000 Hillary Clinton was going to easily become president. 1.00
00:03:39.000 And in that text message that just tells you so much, Lisa Page wrote to her adulterous lover, Peter Strzzok, Trump is not going to become president, is he?
00:03:52.000 And he says, no.
00:03:53.000 No, he won't.
00:03:55.000 We won't let that happen.
00:03:58.000 Now, that's an FBI agent in charge of the counterterrorism counterintelligence unit of the FBI.
00:04:05.000 This is not some sort of desk worker.
00:04:07.000 It's not some sort of bureaucrat who just shuffles papers all day long.
00:04:11.000 This is a guy with real power.
00:04:13.000 And of course, Crossfire Hurricane emerged, but it was a little weak.
00:04:17.000 Hillary Clinton would pay for the dossier as a, I believe, illegally funded piece of political research. 0.77
00:04:26.000 But Donald Trump still won.
00:04:28.000 But then the administrative state, the deep state, the Leviathan, got into full gear.
00:04:32.000 The Russia nonsense was used as a way to derail the populist nationalist agenda out of the gate.
00:04:39.000 Paul Ryan was involved.
00:04:42.000 Senate leadership was involved.
00:04:43.000 They had to slow this down.
00:04:45.000 There's no way we could actually have a president totally close the border, change our immigration to respect and represent middle-class Americans, put true tariffs on China, rebuild the industrial base in the country.
00:04:58.000 We got to slow that down, man.
00:04:59.000 And the way they slowed down the Trump presidency, the way they distracted him from terrifying Jeff Sessions to intimidating so many conservatives was through this Russia thing.
00:05:12.000 And then Bob Mueller came out of nowhere to go do his duty with Andrew Weissman as the top attack dog of the Mueller investigation.
00:05:22.000 The special counsel never should have been approved by the Republican Congress, but it all started back when Peter Strzzok said, no, we won't let that happen.
00:05:30.000 And Peter Strzok was half right.
00:05:32.000 Yes, Donald Trump became president, but he was never able to fully govern as a president because of the Mueller investigation, the Russia lies, Adam Schiff, and we have some Adam Schiff news to share this hour.
00:05:44.000 But it's very obvious as the evidence started to emerge that the law enforcement agencies broke the law, but at the very least, they broke the public trust.
00:05:56.000 And you in the grassroots, ordinary Americans, plumbers, carpenters, teachers, grandparents, entrepreneurs, truck drivers, you see very clearly that if you break the law, if you don't pay your taxes, if you lie to the FBI, you're going to go to jail, especially if your politics are on the right.
00:06:16.000 And one of the biggest complaints in the conservative movement, which is a legitimate complaint, is why does the FBI never get held accountable?
00:06:29.000 Not with a book report that we call the Durham Report, not with some sort of largely boring congressional hearing, and we'll play some pieces of tape from it.
00:06:40.000 Why is it the very people who are tasked with enforcing the law when they act like criminals, are they never held accountable?
00:06:50.000 Here's a very simple question.
00:06:52.000 What was the last time an FBI agent had to go to prison instead of getting a CNN contract?
00:06:59.000 Yeah, some of them get fired.
00:07:01.000 They temporarily might lose their pension like Andy McCabe, but he gets it restored.
00:07:05.000 Peter Strzok is met with open arms at Georgetown.
00:07:08.000 He earns a salary from there.
00:07:10.000 Andy McCabe goes on CNN every day.
00:07:12.000 He gets contract from it.
00:07:14.000 So they get rewarded for what they do.
00:07:18.000 They get rewarded for weaponizing the government and going after political opponents and dissidents.
00:07:24.000 John Durham mentioned this in his hearing yesterday, Play Cut 56.
00:07:29.000 Several of the relevant FISA applications issued in the CrossFire investigation omitted references to what was clearly relevant and highly exculpatory information that should have been disclosed to the FISA court.
00:07:45.000 Multiple FBI personnel who signed or assisted in preparing renewal applications for that same FISA warren acknowledged that they did not believe that the target, Mr. Page, was a threat to national security, much less a knowing agent of a foreign power, which is what the law requires.
00:08:03.000 It appears from our investigation that the FBI leadership dismissed those concerns.
00:08:09.000 Now, there's a lot of detail in Durham's report, and some of it is very helpful to make the case against the administrative state.
00:08:17.000 But let's be honest, we are going to keep believing that the administrative state and the shadow government is against us until we see people like Peter Strzok treated in the same fashion as Lieutenant General Michael Flynn.
00:08:32.000 Remember Michael Flynn, he was a member of the government.
00:08:34.000 Within days, he was entrapped by Peter Strzok.
00:08:38.000 Peter Strzok broke all protocols.
00:08:42.000 And Michael Flynn said, hey, don't I need a lawyer for this?
00:08:44.000 Oh, no, That's probably illegal, the way that Peter Strzok handled it in the White House.
00:08:50.000 Forget the details of that.
00:08:51.000 You had Peter Strzok walk into the home of the executive branch days into the presidency.
00:08:57.000 I think it was like 10 days into the presidency.
00:09:00.000 And Peter Strzok said, oh, yeah, Strzok here with the FBI.
00:09:03.000 We just want to clear up some of your disclosure paper.
00:09:06.000 And Michael Flynn says, well, do I need a lawyer here?
00:09:10.000 And the answer to that, and remember the 302s, if I remember the number correctly, the 302 that Peter Strzzok filled out was incriminating.
00:09:18.000 It was a targeting of a current official of the executive branch of government.
00:09:24.000 And it was Michael Flynn who had to defend himself in court.
00:09:27.000 It was Michael Flynn who had to go through years of criminal targeting.
00:09:33.000 And the Department of Justice then admitted in the Michael Flynn case that the FBI mistakenly identified Michael Flynn in the Peter Strzzok notes.
00:09:41.000 The attorneys prosecuting former White House National Security Michael Flynn were forced to admit in Tuesday letter that Lynn's legal defense that the notes mistakenly identified him.
00:09:52.000 So we call this the two standard of justice, but it's even worse than that.
00:09:56.000 It's insulting.
00:09:57.000 And I'm not here to say that Durham is a bad guy or a good guy.
00:10:00.000 What I am going to say, and we're going to play more pieces of tape, is that this is awfully demoralizing when it comes to one of the most important elements of a civil society.
00:10:11.000 What is the old Superman phrase?
00:10:15.000 Truth, justice, and the American way.
00:10:18.000 Truth is under attack at every corner and every turn, and we do not have justice in this country.
00:10:26.000 Instead, we have a veneer where they have talking points.
00:10:29.000 No one is above the law.
00:10:30.000 If that's the case, then one of this gang of criminals, McCabe, Strzok, Paige, Comey, or one of them should be facing criminal prosecution instead.
00:10:41.000 They're enjoying cable news contracts.
00:10:46.000 Nefarious, the number one movie on Salem Now, is available to rent today.
00:10:50.000 Nefarious is like a modern-day screw tape letters ripping back the curtain on evil.
00:10:55.000 Pastor Jack Kibb says the movie, quote, captures what is going on today in America.
00:10:59.000 Jim Caviesel, who played Jesus in the Passion of the Christ, loves this movie so much, he watched it three times in just five days and says it's one of the most important films the last decade.
00:11:09.000 Matt Walsh, the filmmaker behind What Is A Woman, calls it excellent.
00:11:12.000 Dinesh D'Souza calls it captivating, suspenseful, and profound.
00:11:16.000 Jack Pasobic says it will knock your socks off and you will not stop thinking about it.
00:11:19.000 Father Martins from The Exorcist Films calls it excellent.
00:11:23.000 You've probably heard friends talk about Nefarious because it is that good.
00:11:26.000 Sean Patrick Flannery and Jordan Belfie give Oscar-level performances in this movie based on the book by Steve Dace.
00:11:32.000 You do not want to miss Nefarious.
00:11:33.000 Visit Salem Now or your favorite video platform to rent it today, even though it's still in theaters.
00:11:38.000 If you want to rent for your church or a large group, visit movienight.com to rent it today.
00:11:45.000 Can you guys get that Mike Pence clip from last week?
00:11:47.000 I'm not here.
00:11:48.000 I'm not going to dunk on Mike Pence too much again.
00:11:50.000 We already did that adequately last week, but I think it's very telling and it connects to a couple themes I want to tie together here that I don't think anybody else is going to do.
00:11:58.000 Chris Hayes, who I don't consider to be overly bright, had a very interesting, actually, believe it or not, piece of television with Brandy Zedrozny from NBC News.
00:12:09.000 We mentioned this yesterday, but I think it's worth repeating.
00:12:12.000 He said that the political divide in America has changed, that the right in America is a low trust movement of institutions, and the left is a high trust movement of institutions.
00:12:28.000 Now, mind you, that is a significant inversion.
00:12:32.000 Because when I grew up, it used to be that the right was defending the Bush administration or the Patriot Act, defending the government, because as conservatives, you felt as if you did not want to overly revolutionize things.
00:12:46.000 Now, isn't it interesting, though, that in the word conservative is you want to conserve, but conservatives are now the ones that don't trust the institutions.
00:12:58.000 And this is one of the things I'm trying to communicate publicly on this program for all of these unknowns that are running for president.
00:13:05.000 By the way, we have more people running for president.
00:13:06.000 We got this guy, Will Hurd.
00:13:09.000 I couldn't pick him in a lineup.
00:13:11.000 And I do this for a living.
00:13:13.000 He's running for president.
00:13:15.000 You got mayor of Miami Suarez is running for president.
00:13:21.000 And of course, Mike Pence.
00:13:22.000 But this is so interesting.
00:13:25.000 Because I know how you feel about the Department of Justice.
00:13:28.000 I know how you feel about the FBI.
00:13:31.000 You don't trust them.
00:13:32.000 In fact, you think that they're really rigged against you.
00:13:36.000 And you're right.
00:13:38.000 But Mike Pence does not believe that.
00:13:40.000 And I'm only using this as a piece of evidence to show that institutional uniparty Republicans are defending an institution that hates them.
00:13:52.000 Here's Mike Pence saying, well, we either trust the Justice Department or we don't, or the system of justice.
00:14:00.000 He's not reading the room.
00:14:03.000 He is not reading the Republican primary electorate.
00:14:07.000 We don't trust Strzok, Comey, any of these people.
00:14:11.000 In fact, have you seen the Durham report?
00:14:14.000 Yeah, it's an underwhelming book report in terms of prosecutions, but it's a smoking gun as far to say that, yeah, the law enforcement agencies, they're not even above the law.
00:14:27.000 There is no law when it comes to them.
00:14:29.000 They destroy their devices.
00:14:32.000 Remember the Mueller team?
00:14:33.000 The Mueller team, we weren't able to access all of the Mueller team's phones.
00:14:38.000 Why?
00:14:39.000 Because they accidentally put in the wrong password repeatedly, which then destroyed the device.
00:14:47.000 Remember Lois Lerner and all those missing emails?
00:14:50.000 These crooks get away with it time and time again.
00:14:54.000 But there is this hangover effect that, quite honestly, I find it's nauseating.
00:15:00.000 When one of our Republicans running for the presidency is telling us, well, it's either we trust our system of justice or we don't.
00:15:08.000 I do not.
00:15:12.000 PlayCut 83.
00:15:13.000 Let's presume you're fortunate enough to take oath of office January 2025, you become the next president of the United States.
00:15:19.000 Donald Trump is convicted of what I think you would agree are clearly, to a large degree, political-based charges.
00:15:27.000 Would you pardon him from those federal charges?
00:15:30.000 Well, first off, these are serious charges.
00:15:34.000 And as I said, I can't defend what's been alleged, but the president does deserve to make his defense.
00:15:39.000 And I take the pardon authority very seriously.
00:15:41.000 It's an enormously important power of someone in an executive position.
00:15:46.000 And I just think it's premature to have any conversation about that right now, guys.
00:15:52.000 Okay, so there's another clip that actually, that's bad, but the other one is even worse that we have where Mike Penn says, well, guys, we either trust our system of justice or we don't.
00:16:02.000 We don't.
00:16:03.000 We don't trust the system of justice that entrapped Michael Flynn and tried to destroy his life and his family's life, that went after Steve Bannon, that went after Roger Stone, that went after Paul Manafort, where Lois Lerner was never held accountable, where these dirty cops at the top levels of the FBI, and I could keep on mentioning their names, are not held accountable.
00:16:23.000 This is not a system of justice.
00:16:26.000 This is a crime syndicate that is covering up for themselves.
00:16:30.000 This is not an investigation.
00:16:31.000 This is a massive cover-up operation.
00:16:34.000 And the center right of this country, despite having the term conservative, actually wants to now revolutionize in a good way the instruments of government.
00:16:44.000 We do not want the FBI to continue as is.
00:16:47.000 And it's just so interesting to see.
00:16:49.000 And again, the media is so dishonest.
00:16:51.000 And Chris Hayes accidentally said something infinitely interesting.
00:16:55.000 Where growing up, liberals used to be the ones that said, we don't trust the Vietnam War, we don't trust the spying, we don't trust this.
00:17:00.000 Now they're the ones that wear FBI t-shirts at the gay bar in Georgetown.
00:17:08.000 Have you heard about this?
00:17:09.000 The USDA revealed that countless crops planted last season won't be harvested this season.
00:17:14.000 Thanks to extreme weather and global fertilizer shortages, the crops didn't stand a chance.
00:17:20.000 This means potential food shortages and higher prices are ahead.
00:17:23.000 That's why now is the time to stock up on emergency food from MyPatriot Supply, the nation's largest preparedness company.
00:17:31.000 Right now, they are offering a new lower price on their popular four-week emergency food kit to help everyone prepare.
00:17:37.000 This kit will offer your family peace of mind when food shortages strike.
00:17:41.000 It includes breakfast, lunch, dinners, drinks, and snacks with more than 2,000 calories every day to sustain you in tough times.
00:17:49.000 And the food is absolutely delicious.
00:17:51.000 Your whole family will love it.
00:17:53.000 You'll laugh at grocery store prices when you have these meals.
00:17:56.000 To steal this price, go to preparewithkirk.com.
00:17:59.000 You are nine meals away from anarchy.
00:18:01.000 Are you prepared?
00:18:02.000 Go to preparewithkirk.com.
00:18:04.000 You get free shipping too.
00:18:05.000 Do not delay.
00:18:06.000 That is preparewithkirk.com, preparewithkirk.com.
00:18:12.000 So I have to fact check myself that we searched, and for whatever reason, I suppose there's no official gay bars in Georgetown, which I just assumed because Washington, D.C. is one of the gayest cities in America. 0.78
00:18:30.000 So, yeah, some people would call it a gay mecca.
00:18:34.000 It's really something.
00:18:35.000 So I guess when people are in any bar in Georgetown, I find it hard to believe there's no gay bars in Georgetown.
00:18:43.000 I just, I find that hard to believe. 0.97
00:18:45.000 That they're wearing the FBI shirt.
00:18:46.000 But there's something to that, is that the energy of the LGBTQIA plus movement used to be one of rebellion.
00:18:58.000 The system is against us.
00:19:00.000 We are fighting the man, fighting the system.
00:19:03.000 That's why we need these parades.
00:19:06.000 The left did something so smart, is that they've always believed in power.
00:19:11.000 Now, I don't believe in power for power's sake.
00:19:14.000 We're not O'Brien from 1984 and George Orwell.
00:19:17.000 However, what I think is critical to understand is the idea of the perpetual revolution.
00:19:26.000 Within the left, there was finally this oh moment where instead of trying to rebel against the FBI, just take over the FBI and do so by flooding the system with staffers that share your worldview.
00:19:51.000 Flood the agencies with personnel that believe in all of the college campus ideas.
00:20:01.000 And finally, once you get there, never stop complaining.
00:20:09.000 I hate to oversimplify things, but one of the ways that the left has taken over our corporations, taken over our institutions of government, is 25, 26, 27-year-old secular, unmarried revolutionaries who went to Yale and Stanford, who are looking for purpose in their life, they get to these institutions, whether it be Wells Fargo, American Express, any one of these companies,
00:20:38.000 BlackRock, and they start complaining.
00:20:42.000 We don't have enough black people in this room. 0.99
00:20:44.000 There are not enough gays and lesbians represented on the board. 0.99
00:20:48.000 Why are we not donating money to these organizations? 0.98
00:20:52.000 And they did this relentlessly.
00:20:55.000 And so the energy of the LGBTQI plus whatever movement used to be one against challenging the system.
00:21:02.000 And now, bizarrely, and very few people are noticing and mentioning this, they now not just are the system, that's people are noticing, but they're the ones that want to quote unquote conserve the status quo.
00:21:18.000 Think about that.
00:21:19.000 That used to be what we did.
00:21:21.000 That was our job.
00:21:22.000 Our job was we want to protect the family.
00:21:27.000 We want to protect Western values.
00:21:30.000 And now we have to almost embrace dissident energy.
00:21:34.000 And in a strange, perplexing, unprecedented turn of events, the, you call them woke activists or the gay activists or the globalist activists, whatever, they're the ones that are saying, no, the way things are actually good.
00:21:49.000 It's good to have kids twerked in front of at pride parades.
00:21:53.000 You're talking like a conservative, but you're trying to conserve something that is extremely nasty and insidious.
00:22:00.000 Okay, so here's the connection, Mike Pence talking like an institutionalist.
00:22:07.000 So what does Mike Pence and the Alphabet Mafia have in common?
00:22:11.000 They both trust our system of justice. 0.97
00:22:14.000 What does Mike Pence and the Wokesters have in common? 0.99
00:22:18.000 They both think the DOJ is largely a good institution. 1.00
00:22:21.000 Play Cut 84.
00:22:22.000 To me, not answering is a no.
00:22:24.000 Number one, I don't think you know what the president's defense is, do you?
00:22:28.000 I mean, what are the facts?
00:22:30.000 I mean, look, we either believe in our judicial process in this country or we don't.
00:22:35.000 We either stand by the rule of law or we don't.
00:22:39.000 Either we stand by the rule of law or the justice system.
00:22:42.000 That's exactly how Peter Strzok would answer the question.
00:22:45.000 That's exactly how this generation Harvey Milk would answer the question.
00:22:52.000 And so when we point out when we say the uniparty, this is what we mean.
00:23:01.000 If you think everything is ho-hum, perfect, and just going the way it should, like most Republicans in D.C. do.
00:23:10.000 By the way, we got a fact check from one of our listeners.
00:23:10.000 Well, there you go.
00:23:12.000 They said, Charlie, here's a list of the 10 gay bars near Georgetown, Washington, D.C.
00:23:19.000 So, I don't know.
00:23:21.000 We got all sorts of different controversies.
00:23:23.000 Again, I find it very, very hard to believe that there's not gay bars in Georgetown.
00:23:28.000 If you were to best summarize, though, what historical philosophy the Uniparty is embracing, I think it could be best summarized as American Maoism. 1.00
00:23:44.000 They want control and power.
00:23:47.000 It's exactly what Mao Zedong did when he took over China via the Chinese Communist Party.
00:23:54.000 And as the CCP is actually taking more parts of America, our government is acting more and more like the CCP, far more like the Chinese Communist Party than it is a constitutional republic.
00:24:08.000 So tying this back to Durham, you in the grassroots and you in the audience, you are fuming angry and mad because you hear about everything that's wrong and now you see the book report and you say, but where are the handcuffs?
00:24:23.000 Where are the perp walks?
00:24:25.000 And you simultaneously have to then see your former president, who did an excellent job as president, President Donald Trump, get the book thrown at him.
00:24:34.000 Cut 57, John Durham said the FBI was too willing to accept and use politically funded, uncorroborated opposition research such as the Steele dossier.
00:24:42.000 But I have to respectfully ask, Mr. Durham, why did you not bring any charges against the Clinton campaign for this?
00:24:49.000 Play Cut 57.
00:24:50.000 Another aspect of our findings concerned the FBI's failure to sufficiently scrutinize information it received or to apply the same standards to allegations it received about the Clinton and Trump campaigns.
00:25:03.000 As our report details, the FBI was too willing to accept and use politically funded and uncorroborated opposition research such as the Steele dossier.
00:25:15.000 So they used uncorroborated research such as the Steele dossier.
00:25:20.000 Okay, but you're tap dancing around this, Mr. Durham.
00:25:23.000 And you do this again where, oh, we found violation of law and policy.
00:25:27.000 Whoa, whoa, whoa, time out.
00:25:28.000 Time out here.
00:25:30.000 Are you nothing more than an inspector general that puts forward a report?
00:25:34.000 Mr. Durham, you have indictment authority, or you did.
00:25:38.000 So play cut 55.
00:25:40.000 We found troubling violations of law and policy.
00:25:42.000 Okay, so you indicted Kevin Kleinsmith.
00:25:45.000 You did the Dan Chenko.
00:25:47.000 Durham lost all of his cases, largely because of zip code justice and jury pool selection.
00:25:55.000 But wait a second here.
00:25:57.000 We found troubling violation of law and policy in the conduct of highly consequential investigations directed at members of presidential.
00:26:08.000 Wait, hold on.
00:26:09.000 So you found people that violated the law.
00:26:12.000 You found people that broke the law.
00:26:16.000 Why are they not in jail?
00:26:17.000 Or why did you not indict Struckstroke Smirk, Lisa Page, Bruce Enelio, or James Comey, Andy McCabe?
00:26:24.000 A serious problem, again, this kind of goes back to the Georgetown gay bar discussion, is that major federal abuses will always be put on trial in Washington, D.C. If you want to add to the infinite list of things that we need to do, is that Congress should pass a law that you're going to have to, you get a random selection of zip codes of where you're going to have to be tried for federal abuses.
00:26:51.000 You represent the whole country, yeah, you're not going to be able to be in a 95%.
00:26:56.000 I'll just give you an example.
00:26:57.000 If Donald Trump right now for his document thing was tried in Lubbock, Texas, the thing would be over in six hours.
00:27:06.000 Miami's a 50-50 shot.
00:27:08.000 In D.C., they might literally convict him of insurrection or seditious conspiracy.
00:27:13.000 So John Durham says that you found violations of the law.
00:27:16.000 Hello?
00:27:18.000 Then where is the parade of indictments that we as citizens deserve?
00:27:24.000 Play cut 55.
00:27:26.000 For one, we found troubling violations of law and policy in the conduct of highly consequential investigations directed at members of a presidential campaign and ultimately a presidential administration.
00:27:39.000 To me, it matters not whether it was a Republican campaign or a Democrat campaign.
00:27:43.000 It was a presidential campaign and should be of concern to any American who cares about our civil liberties, the rule of law, and the just and proportionate application of the law to all of us.
00:27:54.000 Whether we're friends or we're foes, the law ought to apply to everybody in the same way.
00:28:00.000 Mr. Durham, you're not a cable news pundit.
00:28:03.000 You had indictment authority.
00:28:06.000 If you found violations of the law, why didn't you use it?
00:28:10.000 Okay, yeah, you used it on Klein Smith and Dan Chenko.
00:28:15.000 But contrast John Durham with Jack Smith, who is acting like a crazy person, by the way.
00:28:20.000 It's like, if the law exists, we're going grand slam, great Bambino, Babe Ruth, point in the center field, like every time.
00:28:29.000 Jack Smith is, again, as I said, the eight-year-old in Little League Baseball, where he's just like, and he just collapses every single time.
00:28:36.000 And yeah, I mean, one out of 100 times at bat, he will hit that grand slam.
00:28:43.000 So why is John Durham, why didn't he have at least a little bit of that gusto?
00:28:47.000 Just a little bit.
00:28:49.000 You wonder why the conservative base doesn't trust institutions.
00:28:54.000 You wonder why that we're seeing this pattern of behavior from the American right.
00:29:00.000 This is why.
00:29:03.000 Hey, everybody, Charlie Kirk here.

00:30:05.000 I want to play piece of tape here.
00:30:06.000 Matt Gates grills, Mr. Durham, play cut 85.
00:30:11.000 You tried two cases, lost both of them, and then the one plea, guilty plea you got, Klein Smith, Klein Smith is back to practicing law in Washington, D.C. today.
00:30:23.000 Have you ever heard of the Washington Generals?
00:30:25.000 The Washington Generals?
00:30:26.000 Yes.
00:30:27.000 Yeah.
00:30:27.000 And they're the team that basically gets paid to show up and lose, right?
00:30:31.000 And it just seems so facially obvious that it's not what's in your report that's telling.
00:30:36.000 It's the omission.
00:30:37.000 It's the lack of work you did.
00:30:39.000 And for the people like the chairman who put trust in you, I think you let them down.
00:30:43.000 I think you let the country down.
00:30:44.000 And you are one of the barriers to the true accountability that we need.
00:30:47.000 This is not healthy.
00:30:49.000 You see, the media kind of delights in this.
00:30:52.000 But I have to ask, okay, let's pretend the left wins everything, wins, right?
00:30:56.000 They take over our elections and they do all this stuff.
00:31:00.000 You realize we're half the country, right?
00:31:02.000 I mean, what are you going to do with us?
00:31:04.000 I actually want some Marxist to come on the show and say, okay, you have all Soros' money.
00:31:09.000 You get 50 more John Fettermans.
00:31:12.000 We're still half the country and we're actually growing philosophically.
00:31:16.000 Gallup polls show the country is becoming more conservative, whether it be on parental issues, social issues.
00:31:24.000 We're moving center-right.
00:31:26.000 So, what are you going to do with us exactly?
00:31:29.000 You control the DOJ, the FBI, the CIA, you control Google, you control Facebook, you control Goldman Sachs, you control BlackRock, you control the NBA, you control the NFL, but we're still here.
00:31:40.000 Kansas still exists.
00:31:42.000 Montana still exists.
00:31:44.000 What are you planning to do with us exactly? 1.00
00:31:48.000 And they're just going to be like, oh, we just need to keep on taking over the country and bring in more foreigners to disenfranchise ordinary people. 1.00
00:31:56.000 Okay? 1.00
00:31:57.000 What I'm getting at is, do you want half the country to not trust the FBI?
00:32:04.000 What kind of a place do you want to actually govern American left?
00:32:08.000 I think it's unhealthy when people don't trust their institutions.
00:32:12.000 It's a legitimate sentiment.
00:32:15.000 I'm there and you are there.
00:32:18.000 I want to have a government that earns our trust.
00:32:24.000 But after lying where COVID came from and the lockdowns and the mass and the mRNA shot and the manipulation of data and the disappearance of medical journals and whistleblowers and all that, we're done.
00:32:35.000 But it really makes you wonder: what is the plan of the American left or do they not care?
00:32:42.000 Steamroll, pummel them, call them terrorists.
00:32:46.000 Is it kind of the California model, one-party rule, where we just terrorize the right and you put up with some of their complaints here or there and you have supermajorities at all places and all turns?
00:32:58.000 Washington Examiner article, America turns right.
00:33:00.000 Conservatives top liberals, 40% to 26%.
00:33:04.000 So the country's philosophically and principally and politically moving more to the center right.
00:33:12.000 The Democrats even think for a second, yeah, it's probably not healthy for the future of the republic and of elections and our discourse and dialogue for my grandkids if 70 million people think that our government is the 21st century equivalent of Stalin's Soviet Union.
00:33:33.000 And the answer to my hypotheticals is to tally to tell totalitarians do not ask these questions.
00:33:40.000 They don't care.
00:33:41.000 They just want to be in charge and they'll figure out what to do with you.
00:33:45.000 But I just want to say it's demoralizing in a sense of I don't want to have to host an entire show talking about how the Justice Department, but I'm also not going to do happy talk, wishful thinking, Mike Pence stuff where everything is burning and you say, wow, what a beautiful day everything is.
00:34:01.000 The house looks great.
00:34:03.000 Actually, Mr. Pence, the house is on fire.
00:34:05.000 No, it's not.
00:34:06.000 That is just, that's a QAnon conspiracy theory.
00:34:10.000 Mr. Pence, it's about to burn down. 0.89
00:34:13.000 No, we either trust our system or we don't.
00:34:18.000 Yeah, the entire place is not just on fire, but there's people in the building.
00:34:24.000 Ah, that's where you're wrong.
00:34:25.000 We must trust the rule of, it's on fire.
00:34:28.000 I refute.
00:34:29.000 Nope.
00:34:30.000 Not happening.
00:34:33.000 Can't lie to yourself.
00:34:36.000 But it's as if the Democrats know this won't end well.
00:34:40.000 And so there's two simultaneous things happening right now.
00:34:43.000 One, where the elites are digging in even more.
00:34:45.000 They're more paranoid and more protective of their own crime syndicate while the country is becoming more and more center-right.
00:34:53.000 That's a recipe for a disaster.
00:34:57.000 And I have no idea how that is going to end up.
00:35:00.000 But the good news is that the body politic and the citizenry are more on our side than ever before.
