00:00:11.000Or are the signals coming through that he is in fact on the way out and that he is going to pass the torch to Gavin Newsom, Pete Buttigieg, Kamala Harris?
00:00:25.000We also talk about Michigan and a fascinating new poll that sheds light on the third-party existential threat facing the Democrat Party.
00:00:34.000And then we bring in Julie Kelly for a discussion about J6, the newest indictment against Trump, where it all came from, where it's going, and how it all might be part of a larger scheme.
00:00:44.000We dive into it and we don't hold anything back.
00:01:11.000We will not embrace the ideas that have destroyed countries, destroyed lives, and we are going to fight for freedom on campuses across the country.
00:02:13.000They said in whispers and furtive phone calls, top Democrat donors and officials are saying that President Joe Biden won't actually be running for reelection.
00:02:22.000This is very interesting because up until now, his public sentiments have all been around the fact that, yes, indeed, he is going to run.
00:02:38.000He's the only guy, just like in 2020, this happy Uncle Joe that can run against Trump and beat him.
00:02:46.000Well, those Democrats are talking to possible replacement presidential candidates, according to the report, and urging them to get ready.
00:02:54.000They say that the time is already running out for Biden, who has officially announced his candidacy, but hasn't named a campaign finance director, hired any on-the-ground staff in competitive states, or even opened a campaign headquarters.
00:03:06.000All very, very interesting notes to take.
00:04:37.000If you look at that second group of numbers, Trump gets 43% and Biden 41%, and Dr. Cornell West gets 4%.
00:04:49.000So what you see here is one of the first examples of why the left is so terrified of these third-party candidates.
00:04:57.000This is a repeat of 2016, where a Green Party candidate, Jill Stein, ran and actually got more support than Trump's margin of victory in states like Michigan, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania.
00:05:13.000This is the first sign of an existential threat to the Democrat Party.
00:05:18.000Trump wins Michigan if Cornell West runs.
00:05:24.000Now, like clockwork, like clockwork, Charlie predicted all of this.
00:05:30.000The trolls at the Daily Beast came out with a hit piece against Cornell West yesterday that says he has not paid $500,000 in taxes.
00:05:44.000Report from Politico comes out, says the Biden campaign is feverishly working to snuff out third-party competitors.
00:05:53.000Next, Dr. Cornell West hasn't paid $500,000 in taxes.
00:05:58.000Now, there is no irony in this report that they were just about, the regime media was just about to cheer on Hunter Biden's sweetheart plea deal with the Department of Justice, where he had not paid over $2 million in taxes.
00:06:15.000And they were about to cheer that on as justice served before a very prudent judge snuffed it out.
00:06:23.000Now, here's the deal: they can't necessarily deal with all of the threats that are facing Joe Biden right now.
00:06:34.000And meanwhile, we get reports that Gavin Newsom is doing all the things you would do as someone waiting in the wings.
00:06:42.000He set up a pack, just like you normally would.
00:06:47.000There's on top of that, by the way, not just, I'll get back to the Gavin Newsom piece.
00:06:54.000The no labels party is Manchin has not ruled out a third-party run.
00:06:59.000Gavin Newsom gearing up, RFK Jr., Dr. Cornell West, all of these threats hurt the Democrat Party.
00:07:07.000So when we're all saying that we've got no ground game, the RNC is incompetent.
00:08:04.000PACK spending shows how Gavin Newsom is positioning himself for a presidential bid.
00:08:08.000California Governor Gavin Newsom in March launched a PAC to take on red state authoritarian leaders and created a constitutional gun control amendment.
00:08:16.000Newsom said in the organization's launch video that he was going to these states led by these strong men like Ron DeSantis and investing in people and organizations where they're fighting back.
00:08:29.000There has never been in the modern times, maybe besides Obama, but not even a politician so slick and slippery as in serpentine as Gavin Newsom.
00:10:25.000Now, we like to talk about the Democrats as this sort of hive-mind organism that just thinks one way and they are constantly on the same page.
00:10:34.000They're in lockstep, iron fist, while Republicans, you know, we're so independently minded.
00:10:44.000The Democrat coalition is a ragtab group of far-left communists, a few moderates, and then essentially establishment, you know, hacks that just want to keep the money flowing.
00:10:58.000What this poll shows you is that 4% are complete ideologues in Michigan.
00:11:04.000Different states is going to have different numbers.
00:11:06.000But what I can tell you is that this tells you that the coalition that has been pieced together through duct tape and bubblegum in the Democrat Party is fragile.
00:11:17.0004% going for West, an unviable candidate.
00:11:20.000That means there's 4% of Democrat voters that are so ticked off at the fact that the Democrats haven't completely destroyed the economy and the capitalist system, that they haven't completely burned it down to the ground, that they're ready to get behind a guy like Cornell West, who, I mean, mind you, I have a lot of respect for Cornell West.
00:11:41.000I disagree with him entirely on just about everything, but I think he's an interesting person.
00:11:47.000I think it's fascinating that 4% are willing to basically throw their votes away on a third-party candidate rather than vote for Joe Biden.
00:12:03.000Okay, so you've got, let's just game it out.
00:12:07.000Now, who are they going to actually run if he bows out, if Biden bows out?
00:12:15.000Now, we've got Kamala Harris, but even in this article, it says Kamala Harris can't win a general election, one Capitol Hill Democrat told New York Magazine last year.
00:12:25.000Obviously, we've talked about Gavin Newsome.
00:12:27.000Now, I think Gavin Newsom is going to present a formidable challenge, but you've also got Gretchen Whitmer, the witch of the North in Michigan, no less.
00:12:40.000Now, she's a very formidable fundraiser, I've been told.
00:12:43.000She's also apparently a formidable just organizer.
00:15:10.000He's trying to present himself as a reasonable Democrat that gets things done and knows how to go toe-to-toe with the evil Republicans, the strong.
00:15:22.000Every indication is that he is setting himself up to run.
00:16:45.000I was texting you yesterday, and I just want to, we've got a lot to cover in our short time together, but I just, I got to start with this guy because I saw you tweeting about him and then Charlie tweeted about him.
00:17:14.000So this guy, he, so he apparently gives this guy, Ryan J., what is it?
00:17:19.000Ryan J. Riley, the permission to post this picture of him flipping off the camera saying he's not going to be able to make Trump's arraignment, but he sends his regards.
00:17:31.000Julie, I have speculation about this guy because I Googled him right after I saw this image.
00:17:36.000It is the most scrubbed Google search I've ever been on.
00:17:40.000There is literally page after page after page of just the most sob stories because what happened to him on January 6th.
00:17:50.000What do you know about this phony Fanoni guy?
00:17:55.000So Michael Fafoni, we'll call him, was a DC Metro police officer.
00:18:01.000There's four, I call them January 6th celebrity cops because they were instantly profiled in the media, made all kinds of claims about their injuries, made all kinds of claims about what happened inside the building.
00:18:17.000So he claimed that he almost died that day and he was tased, allegedly tased by someone who's now been convicted of that, that he suffered a heart attack and a concussion, severe brain injuries, et cetera, et cetera.
00:18:32.000But so what I posted today is his, so when he first took the public scene, he oddly had this southern accent, even though he's a rich kid from Washington, D.C., who went to Georgetown PrEP before he got kicked out.
00:18:49.000And his father is a big-time attorney with a law firm connected to the Democratic Party.
00:18:54.000So no one could really figure out where this Southern accent came from.
00:18:59.000But he would give interviews and he gave testimony for the January 6th Select Committee, and you could hear this heavy draw.
00:19:06.000Well, now all of a sudden, he's a CNN contributor, by the way.
00:19:26.000So three out of four of these celebrity cops, I call them, showed up at the courthouse yesterday, I guess, in solidarity against Donald Trump.
00:19:34.000Another officer, and I posted this a few weeks ago, Equilina Gunnell, who is a Capitol police officer, also claimed he almost died that day and sustained severe injuries at the hands of Trump supporters.
00:19:49.000But we just caught him on surveillance video for seven minutes after the alleged attack on him, walking around fine, moving around, no shoulder injury.
00:19:58.000Like he said, he has no foot injury that was smashed, he said, by a speaker, no head injuries, face, anything, totally not even any indication of any pain.
00:20:11.000So these are what I called crisis actors to make it look like Trump supporters tried to kill police officers on January 6th.
00:20:20.000And Michael Smithfoni is probably the worst out of all of them.
00:20:26.000And the reason I have such a, yeah, the reason I have such a bone to pick with these guys is because, you know, Charlie said it on his Twitter, and I thought it was well stated.
00:20:36.000You know the moral quality of your opponent, or in this case, the Democrats, by the heroes that they lift up.
00:20:45.000And they are presenting this tattooed, like gross, fake accent, rich daddy, lawyer, Democrat insider who went to Georgetown PREP as this like working man who you know survived the mob, and and it's they.
00:21:01.000They parade these people out there like they're somehow you know a saint and they're they've got the most sympathetic.
00:21:10.000I'm telling you, there is something so astroturf about this guy that my spidey senses are going crazy and I find him just disgusting on his face and to see that that he now is a CNN analyst.
00:21:22.000He's getting paid for and you know, I don't want to speculate whether or not he had a heart attack, but it all feels very convenient Julie, and I don't want to put you on the hot seat or whatever, but I mean this, all this whole thing feels so convenient and I've, like I said, I've never ever, seen a Google page so pristine.
00:21:40.000I mean I couldn't find a negative article about this guy, even though I know that they've been written by folks like you and others that have covered the J6 uh hearings, the J6 committee and all of the aftermath.
00:21:57.000There is somebody with a lot of means and a lot of resources scrubbing this guy's account and then here he is, like flipping off the camera like some schmo.
00:22:10.000The larger topic that I wanted to discuss with you Julie, is that we are hearing in general, and that's why I wanted to bring you on that this newest indictment brought by Jack Smith Trump was arraigned yesterday, is a copy paste from the J6 committee.
00:22:38.000I mean, I posted a few passages comparing the indictment to passages in the January 6th select committee and they're And they're almost identical.
00:22:47.000Now, we know the DOJ and then Jack Smith has undertaken this January 6th investigation.
00:23:44.000Yes, that was literally my next question because a lot has been made, Julie, about the fact that there was not seditious conspiracy in this indictment.
00:23:54.000Now, we saw maybe this is a precursor of things to come.
00:23:59.000We saw with the Miami portion of this, the documents portion, that there was a superseding indictment.
00:24:06.000Is that your prediction that seditious conspiracy is the next shoe to drop from Jack Smith, but it will be in the DC venue?
00:24:15.000Yes, I'm not sure that that will be the next indictment.
00:24:18.000My guess is the next superseding indictment will add maybe a few more conspiracy charges and add co-defendants, more importantly.
00:24:26.000So the superseding indictment generally adds co-defendants, adds charges.
00:24:31.000And I believe that they will probably bundle in a few of the co-conspirators.
00:24:36.000There were six of them unnamed in the indictment, but there were six.
00:24:40.000So I'm anticipating at least a few they'll tag into this indictment.
00:24:45.000But the seditious conspiracy superseding indictment could come months from now.
00:24:50.000But we see how Jack Smith is wielding his power to help protect the Bidens and protect Democrats.
00:24:57.000Every time there's a major bombshell out of Congress about Joe Biden's years of lies about his relationship with Hunter Biden and his overseas business partners, Jack Smith swoops in with an indictment, a superseding indictment, a target letter, another indictment.
00:25:17.000So I think this is the hammer, how he's going to use this as a political hammer to cover up emerging evidence of the Biden family crime racket and keep the focus and the heat on what's happening in these two cases with Donald Trump.
00:25:32.000Yeah, and Julie, we have this graphic, if the team can pull it up.
00:25:35.000To your point, I mean, we saw June 7th, FBI releases documents to Congress alleging the Bidens took $10 million bribe, right?
00:25:43.000Then we have June 8th, Jack Smith indicts Trump in Mar-a-Lago Doc's case.
00:25:48.000July 26th, July 27th, July 31st, August 1st, this pattern repeats itself.
00:25:55.000July 26th, Hunter Biden goes to court and rejects Sweetheart plea deal.
00:25:58.000July 27th, Jack Smith adds on more charges to Trump.
00:26:30.000Back check me, look at NAD and see what it could do for you.
00:26:33.000Well, look, I take NAD every single day.
00:26:35.000Strong Cell is a scientific breakthrough in cellular health replenishment that combines NADH, CoQ10, and marine collagen to boost your body's cellular function.
00:26:44.000I personally take Strong Cell every day, and so do a ton of Kirk listeners.
00:27:24.000I want to hit this guy one more time because I just, I absolutely detest the man, Michael Phoney.
00:27:30.000Now, this is a bit of a provocative question, all right?
00:27:34.000Do you think these people now, I understand we're verging into conspiracy theory territory, but do you think that there's any possibility that these was planned out?
00:27:46.000Or do you think they're just like attention whores, these celebrity police officers?
00:27:50.000I mean, were they, do you think they were given an assignment?
00:27:52.000I mean, we know that Trump authorized 10,000 National Guard.
00:29:03.000So they just happen to have a uniform waiting for Michael Fanon with the body cam camera on it, which, by the way, we haven't seen all the body cam.
00:29:13.000And then, of course, we see some of it afterwards, which he claimed he suffered all these injuries and he's joking around with his colleagues about how he might get suspended again.
00:29:24.000Now, Julie, we were just diving into the fact that Michael Phoney Bologna here, Fanon, said it was the first time that he put on a police uniform, potentially in his whole career.
00:29:41.000Yes, I believe that that's, I know that that's true.
00:29:44.000I don't know if it was in his entire career or it had been years since he wore any kind of uniform.
00:29:51.000But he claimed he heard on the radio that there were officers in distress.
00:29:55.000So he went back to the police station.
00:29:57.000Somehow, there's a uniform waiting for him.
00:30:00.000Of course, we saw him in his January in the January 6th Select Committee testimony.
00:30:05.000He had his uniform on with all kinds of little badges.
00:30:08.000Like he's this decorated police officer.
00:30:12.000And so that's just another oddity about the Michael Fanon.
00:30:17.000Aside from the fact his father is this well-connected lawyer in Washington, D.C., tied to the Democratic Party, you see Nancy Pelosi constantly hugging him and kissing him.
00:30:26.000He shows up at some event with Hunter Biden.
00:30:31.000If you're a police officer, a legitimate police officer who is involved in, you know, a protest, if you want to call it a riot, whatever, they don't go around giving interviews like this and hobnobbing, you know, with the president's son and hugging and having Nancy Pelosi just claw all over you.
00:30:52.000And not only is his behavior not normal, neither is the behavior of the other three officers who have been pulled out as these celebrity cops with book deals and they're constantly on social media and they're constantly on CNN and MSNBC.
00:31:14.000He feels like a polished turd that has been parroted around and paraded around MSM, you know, regime media to sort of do this.
00:31:25.000I mean, he has been made for such a time as this is what it feels like in a very negative way.
00:31:30.000Now, Julie, I want to just quickly transition here because a lot of, I'm going to, let's put up Trump's recent true social 160.
00:31:38.000It says, every one of these fake charges filed against me by the corrupt Biden DOJ could have been filed two and a half years ago, but they waited and waited until I became dominant in the polls and then they filed them all, including local, including locals, right in the middle of the campaign.
00:31:55.000They want anybody but Trump, not fair and perhaps not legal, election interference.
00:32:00.000Now, Julie, the larger question is this, and Trump's really getting at this.
00:32:03.000There's a lot of speculation about this trial timeline.
00:32:07.000You know, how much potential is there for Trump to basically dictate when the trial happens, either by rushing the trial date forward.
00:32:14.000In this case, even Jonathan Turley was saying, hey, give Jack Smith what he wants, a fair speedy trial here on this DC one that he just dropped because SCOTUS is going to overturn it.
00:32:25.000And that might be a poll boost for Trump, perhaps.
00:32:29.000You know, what do you think is the best strategy given these competing indictments in different venues?
00:32:35.000Well, I think the neither, I don't think either case goes to trial before the election.
00:32:41.000They don't want it to go to trial because for a couple of reasons, especially in the January 6th case.
00:32:46.000Number one, there's a very slim chance that there could be an acquittal on any of those charges.
00:32:51.000That would be humiliation for Jack Smith.
00:32:54.000Number two, the obstruction of an official proceeding felony is headed towards the Supreme Court.
00:32:59.000It had a weird appellate ruling, and you have two defense attorneys who have already filed cert at the Supreme Court seeking to have this 1512 C2 post-Enron law, never been used this way before, having a hearing on the validity of using that against political protesters.
00:33:18.000So at the same time, even if he got a conviction, the Supreme Court could overturn the use of that obstruction felony, and that would go away for Trump too.
00:33:27.000So there's a lot of legal and political danger for Jack Smith if he really puts either one of these on trial before the election.
00:33:36.000I think the classified documents case is actually far weaker than the January 6th, because, of course, that's also going to go to a D.C. jury, not a southern Florida.
00:33:45.000Let me just repeat what you just said.
00:33:47.000You said the exact opposite of what everybody on the talking head media is saying, that you think the documents case is weaker than the one that Jack Smith just dropped.
