00:00:48.000We will not embrace the ideas that have destroyed countries, destroyed lives, and we are going to fight for freedom on campuses across the country.
00:01:20.000The Manhattan District Attorney, Alvin Bragg, is indicating alongside Donald Trump's statements that Donald Trump might be handcuffed, processed, fingerprinted in Manhattan this week.
00:01:34.000He would be the first former president in history to face criminal charges.
00:02:05.000Donald Trump made a personal payment in his own personal life while a presidential campaign was occurring regarding something with Stormy Daniels, of which it is very unclear what exactly is going on there, because Stormy Daniels in 2018 came out and said, yeah, we actually didn't have it in a fair.
00:02:28.000But Alvin Bragg is coming out and saying that this is a campaign finance violation that needs to elevate all the way to the level of a felony.
00:02:38.000Former President Trump claiming authorities will arrest him tomorrow.
00:02:42.000He would be the first former president in history to face criminal charges.
00:02:46.000The possible arrest related to a hush money payment made to adult film star Stormy Daniels.
00:02:51.000You'll remember it happened in the run-up to the 2016 election.
00:02:54.000The Manhattan District Attorney's Office has been investigating the case for years, and a grand jury is reportedly on the verge of bringing charges.
00:03:06.000They're saying an arrest is imminent, that they've been investigating this for years.
00:03:10.000But of course, now that the 2024 presidential campaign is starting to heat up, the Manhattan District Attorney is getting into full gear and they say as early as tomorrow, you could see Donald Trump, the 45th president of the United States, once the darling of New York who saved Woman Rink, built the actually purchased the Plaza Hotel, did the Hyatt deal, saved the convention center.
00:03:35.000One of the most notable philanthropists in the history of New York City, they want to seek revenge against him.
00:03:42.000And it's obvious why, and we'll talk about it, but let's build out this, their argument.
00:03:45.000Their argument is that Donald Trump in his own private life paid Stormy Daniels as a hush money payment as a way to try and influence the 2016 presidential campaign.
00:03:55.000This is such, this is beyond an abuse of the criminal justice system.
00:03:58.000Even if you hate Donald Trump, even if you are the most anti-Trump person, you cannot possibly justify that this is what the criminal justice system is for.
00:04:10.000This is not even a novel legal theory.
00:04:39.000It basically says any spending in your personal life is actually for a political campaign.
00:04:45.000And then it just begs the question, was Donald Trump selling our country out to the Chinese Communist Party so his cocaine-addicted son could make money and our national security could be compromised?
00:04:56.000Did Donald Trump smash a bunch of devices even though they were under subpoena and they just disappeared?
00:05:03.000Did Donald Trump engage in a summer of love, of looting and fire and arson?
00:06:09.000What came next was supposed to be the seamless entrance into the destruction of America, the postmodern America, the abolition of the Republican Party, the first female president that would keep the neoliberal order going.
00:06:23.000The Supreme Court was supposed to be a 7-2 left-wing majority.
00:06:29.000Circuit courts were to be flooded with left-wing radicals and activists.
00:06:33.000The borders would be completely and totally wide open.
00:06:35.000We would enter the Paris Climate Accord.
00:07:25.000And you cannot ever properly capture the feeling of the Democrat elite when that occurred.
00:07:36.000The glass ceiling was not broken that evening.
00:07:38.000The crying, the despair, the drunkenness, the panic, the paranoia that the man who was down 10 points in the polls suddenly won that night.
00:07:50.000Weeping and the gnashing of the teeth.
00:07:56.000That night is the night that the Democrat Party said shall live in infamy.
00:08:01.000Regardless of how they did in the midterms, regardless of how they were able to implement Joe Biden, that memory of 2016 for the septogenarian, octogenarian, Marxist, miserable creeps like Nancy Pelosi and Schumer, they felt as if time was robbed from them.
00:08:18.000They felt as if that was going to be the climax of the revolution.
00:08:21.000Because you might remember in the 2008 presidential primary, there was the Obama camp and the Clinton camp.
00:08:27.000And Obama brought in a whole bunch of other radicals and cronies that got rich and they were able to run the government.
00:08:33.000The Clinton camp still had some say they ran the State Department, you had the Podestas, but they were really waiting for their shot to run the government.
00:08:40.000And they said, okay, fine, Obama, you get eight years, but then Hillary and 16, this is it.
00:08:44.000We run the government in our image, just like the Clinton Global Initiative.
00:08:48.000We're going to get fabulously wealthy.
00:08:50.000We're going to take over the government.
00:09:34.000The country will never go back to Republican dominance.
00:09:37.000And the man who everyone mocked and ridiculed and scorned at, who had a 1% chance of winning, according to the New York Times, turned everything upside down 180.
00:10:00.000But in the same place where they were supposed to be celebrating Hillary Clinton's victory, Manhattan in one of the boroughs in New York, that's exactly where they want to take him down.
00:10:10.000And it's by no mistake, this quote-unquote thrill kill is supposed to humiliate Donald Trump in the same city that he made a name for himself.
00:11:55.000You see, when you do not have a belief in the divine or the internal or you do not have a strong ethical code, you find meaning in the cruelty of others, in the treatment of others.
00:12:06.000And Donald Trump has been made as a Hitlerian type figure.
00:12:10.000And right now, liberals all across the internet are celebrating.
00:12:15.000They're saying that finally we are doing it.
00:12:17.000And they're going to realize that, okay, Donald Trump gets fingerprinted in the process.
00:12:20.000Your life is still super miserable with all your cats in your apartment in Brooklyn.
00:12:23.000Like, it doesn't make your life any better all of a sudden because Donald Trump has to fly in and has to fight a felony.
00:12:29.000It's a really bad way to run your life to all of a sudden act as if your meaning is connected to somebody else's life becoming more difficult.
00:12:36.000But that's what you get when you have an entire university system that isn't built on wisdom or goodness.
00:12:49.000It's built on revenge because it was the regime that never got implemented.
00:12:53.000Donald Trump disrupted so much of this, in particular in the courts and the international scene, from how he rearranged NATO to getting out of the Parents' Climate Accord to redoing NAFTA to finally holding the Chinese Communist Party accountable.
00:13:05.000And if it wasn't for the virus and the lockdowns and the infiltration of Fauci and Burks into the Trump government, then Donald Trump would have easily have won four more years.
00:13:15.000In fact, of course, we believe if it wasn't for Zuckerbucks and the mail-in ballots and the signature verification, he would still be president.
00:13:24.000But there's a second element here that really bothers me, and I don't think this is going to be covered by most people in media, which is why have Republican district attorneys, why have Republican attorney generals not started to investigate the legitimate crimes of the Democrat mafia?
00:13:41.000You see, they think they can keep on doing this against Donald Trump, against Steve Bannon, against all of the people on the right, and they kind of snicker and they say, yeah, we're going to abuse power, and the right won't even look into our own crimes.
00:13:54.000Why is it that the Attorney General of Arkansas or some DA in Arkansas does not have an open criminal investigation into the crimes of Hunter Biden?
00:14:02.000At least give the Democrats a little bit of a fear that we're willing to use political power to look into the actual crimes that they have committed.
00:14:09.000You see, you have one side that is enthusiastic to use the legal system to try to turn our country into a Stalinist nightmare.
00:14:17.000We have another side that is terrified to even use the legal system in a legitimate way to look into the actual crimes of the entire Democrat regime.
00:14:40.000Either the right will win or the left will win.
00:14:43.000The left thinks they can win by putting us in jail and by ridiculing us and by using the criminal justice system against us.
00:14:52.000But when they are able to continue to commit crimes, and look, the House GOP is doing their job, but this is less of a congressional issue.
00:15:03.000The House GOP demands the New York City district attorney turn over documents and give testimony as to the politically motivated persecution of Donald Trump.
00:15:36.000Do we have a current investigation into the Clinton Crime Foundation of the crimes that they committed against the American homeland or maybe even committed in Arkansas?
00:15:44.000The way Arkansas is a super red state that the Clintons and the Bidens have both heavily trafficked throughout the last couple of years.
00:15:50.000You're trying to tell me that you couldn't find a misdemeanor that Hunter Biden committed in Arkansas.
00:15:55.000So, if this is the new threshold, if the new threshold of American politics is, wow, you have a misdemeanor of a payment to Stormy Daniels that could be classified as a campaign finance thing, then what exactly would you call it when you get a $3 million wire from a Chinese Communist Party-affiliated company?
00:16:11.000Why does a Republican district attorney not investigate them right now?
00:16:14.000I don't want excuses, I want answers, and you should too.
00:16:18.000I want a sheriff, a DA, and panel a grand jury.
00:16:21.000I don't like where we are in our country.
00:16:28.000They will not respect us, they being the regime, they being the left, until there is even a micron of fear that their crimes might be exposed.
00:16:38.000Then you have to all of a sudden look into these people and you have to make them feel as if there is a check in the balance for the actual crimes they've committed.
00:17:08.000They're about to go indict Donald Trump and they're going to fingerprint him and perp walk him.
00:17:13.000The only way that you get them to stop is if their cronies and their leaders start to be a little uneasy and nervous that they might be fingerprinted and processed for the actual crimes they've committed.
00:17:29.000Okay, Kirk fans, I need you to stop and pay attention to this.
00:17:33.000I have never experienced anything quite like the new Strong Cell product.
00:17:37.000I take it right before every single show.
00:18:26.000It can help with mental acuity with memory.
00:18:28.000And Strong Cell also puts CoQ10 and wild-caught marine collagen.
00:18:34.000Again, I take it every day, and the difference I feel is undeniable.
00:18:38.000By taking just one small bottle of Strong Cell liquid every day, you can experience an energy boost within the first week and even more benefits within the first 15 days.
00:18:47.000After 30 days, you'll feel like a new person.
00:19:59.000Enter promo code Charlie for that 20% discount.
00:20:06.000Thank you for coming out for one last rally before election day tomorrow.
00:20:17.000The scene here is so different than it was a few hours ago when people were happy and relaxed.
00:20:24.000There are people who are just in shock and they are just stunned at the idea that they were completely sure they were coming to this event to celebrate Hillary Clinton becoming the first female president.
00:20:37.000And now they are confronting the reality that they could be walking out of here, perhaps expecting that Donald Trump is going to become president.
00:21:15.000Joining us now is Stephen Miller, excellent legal mind to help unpack the entrance into a Stalinist country that we are seeing in real time.
00:21:38.000And as you mentioned, I was with President Trump going all the way back to the early days of the original campaign on through that whole campaign through the entire administration, every single day of it.
00:21:52.000And as you laid out, this is exactly what you said.
00:21:58.000The Clinton campaign, the Democrat establishment, the financial establishment, the entire architecture of the Deep State could not abide, could not allow, could not permit President Trump to be president of the United States, could not have a person whom they could not control, whom their normal techniques of manipulation, psychological warfare,
00:22:29.000In other words, they're used to the idea that they can manufacture or leak intelligence, whether it be to the New York Times or to anybody else, or suggest that there's going to be some kind of political prosecution and be able to control the behavior when the other team gets their candidate in.
00:22:46.000President Trump, they could not, still cannot do that with.
00:22:49.000And so this is all it has always been and continues to be about that, which brings us again to the Soros DA in Manhattan.
00:22:59.000So you have a situation here where, if I remember correctly, Mr. Bragg won the Democrat primary in New York, specifically in Manhattan, also known as New York County, with 85,000 votes and was significantly funded by George Soros.
00:23:18.000So a very small number of people living in Manhattan selected one prosecutor who now assumes for himself complete control over the electoral process for 300 million Americans.
00:23:35.000This case is built on one legal lie and falsehood and just complete deception after another.
00:23:47.000But the simplest version of it is this.
00:23:49.000The Department of Justice and the FEC, which has sole legal authority over our election laws, declined repeatedly over a period of years to pursue any kind of criminal matter against President Trump related to the dispute with Miss Daniels because there was no crime.
00:24:18.000As anyone who works in the government can tell you, and I worked in the government for many years, the rule is the exact opposite.
00:24:28.000Federal campaign funds shall not and cannot be used for a personal matter.
00:24:35.000You cannot use campaign funds to pay for your alimony, to pay for your child support, to pay for your home repairs, and certainly not to pay for personal legal disputes arising from anything.
00:24:51.000They expected him to use it from his campaign fund for whatever the reason for the Stormy Daniels transaction was.
00:25:11.000If President Trump or his subordinates or his campaign had taken federal election funds and transferred them to Ms. Daniels, what would have happened?
00:25:25.000The Department of Justice would have charged those individuals with a crime for the misappropriation of campaign funds.
00:25:33.000Yeah, and so here's under the so let's just build out what their case is this, that Donald Trump was running for the presidency and that he only made this payment for Stormy Daniels to Stormy Daniels for political purposes, of which there's no evidence of any of that.
00:25:47.000And it should have been classified as a campaign payment.
00:25:51.000I mean, Stephen, this is not just show me the man, I'll show you the crime.
00:25:55.000It's show me the man and I'll make up the crime.
00:25:59.000Make up the crime, make up the law, make up everything.
00:26:02.000And even that doesn't really fully convey the extent of this madness because the prosecutor in Manhattan, elected in a Democrat primary with 85,000 votes, has absolutely no authority, no authority to enforce federal election law whatsoever.
00:26:19.000So he's making his own law that he doesn't have authority to enforce in the first instance.
00:26:25.000And just if you were to take what he was saying seriously, and nobody should, because again, it's all about what you laid out and what I laid out about the real motives.
00:26:32.000But you're going to take it seriously.
00:26:35.000Under this theory, if a candidate is running for office and there's a dispute over, say, alimony with his ex-wife, and the ex-wife requests a different amount of alimony based on years-long disputes, whatever, that the candidate would be legally obliged to transfer all the alimony payments over to his campaign.
00:26:59.000And from now on, his wife will get all of her alimony payments from his election campaign.
00:27:37.000Why is it that we do not have district attorneys or attorney generals, attorneys general across the country using their political power to investigate the legitimate crimes of Hunter Biden, Hillary Clinton, James Comey, the international crimes?
00:27:53.000If they're the only side that is willing to use political power and they're willing to do it on a public scale against a former president, then we're going to continually just be steamrolled by these people.
00:28:05.000There needs to be some deterrence here.
00:28:13.000Conservatives have to be able to hold two truths in their mind at the same time and understand there's no contradiction between them.
00:28:21.000Truth one, it's a terrible tragedy that all of our institutions, and especially our legal institutions, have been taken over by the left.
00:28:30.000Truth two, neutrality alone will not save those institutions or the country.
00:28:36.000And I think the second one is that Stephen was saying that this myth that we live under neutrality.
00:28:41.000And by the way, some of the, you know, some of the crew here in the Wall Street Journal, they're going to be writing like, well, this is really bad against Trump, but let's just try to turn down the temperature.
00:29:43.000But I think what Stephen was saying is that there has never been a series of investigations into any human being, and this is the best that they have.
00:29:52.000The best they have is a fiction, a lie, a fabrication of a legal theory.
00:29:58.000I think that they thought they were going to find out that Donald Trump was ordering hits against people.
00:30:05.000Was it as if Donald Trump rode down with Jeffrey Epstein on Lolita Express?
00:30:10.000No, no, that's reserved for Bill Clinton and Bill Gates.
00:30:12.000Why are there not active criminal investigations into Bill Gates and Bill Clinton, all the people that went down to the island with Epstein?
00:31:06.000There's Republican DAs and sheriffs and prosecutors all across the country where these people have entered and exited and entered and exited.
00:31:15.000You're trying to tell me that the Alvin Bragg has a great claim to jurisdiction just because Donald Trump lived in New York and he happened to be running for president at the time?
00:31:24.000No, they're twisting the law to do it.
00:31:54.000You think people are going to run to the polls in 2024?
00:31:58.000Because, you know, I'm really going to be more motivated to vote for Donald Trump because they indicted him in New York.
00:32:03.000Yeah, there might be a backlash in the primary.
00:32:06.000There's only a backlash if you create one.
00:32:09.000They will not stop unless we stop them.
00:32:11.000We need their ruling class, the Democrat ruling class, to feel the pressure of investigations, subpoenas.
00:32:17.000It's not as if there's a lack of material there.
00:32:20.000You show me, and this is the reason why.
00:32:21.000It's not that they are worse people than the Republicans, and they, it's because they have acted in a pattern of behavior for multiple decades, believing they will never be held accountable.
00:32:33.000That's why there's such low-hanging fruit there.
00:32:36.000The Bidens did brazen acts of treason against America because they kept telling themselves, chuckling on their porches, smoking their cigars, overlooking their Delaware estates, saying, yeah, we'll get away with it.
00:32:49.000We control the criminal justice instruments.
00:32:53.000But now the Republican Party needs to change.
00:32:55.000The proper response is today, Republican attorney generals and Republican district attorneys and Republican prosecutors need to start issuing indictments.
00:33:05.000Not just, I'm sorry, not indictments, subpoenas, investigations.
00:33:26.000Let me tell you a fear I have that I don't know if the bad guys have put this into the calculus, but it seems as if they're hoping for this.
00:33:34.000And I want to make it very clear something we should not do.
00:33:39.000The national security apparatus, as they continually have a supply and demand problem with terrorism and domestic violent extremism, they are salivating.
00:33:48.000They are hoping that Trump Make America Great Again Patriots like you will act in an uncharacteristic way because of this injustice.
00:33:58.000Just understand that they would love nothing more than to infiltrate using people like Ray Eps to turn up the temperature and make you do something that you might regret.
00:34:15.000But understand that the national security apparatus, they would love nothing more than to use this as a reason to expand Patriot Act 2.0.
00:34:24.000They have 400 people in the D.C. gulag.
00:34:26.000They'd love to put another 600 people in the D.C. gulag.
00:34:29.000And so if you are going to protest and if you're going to speak out your mind, know this.
00:34:32.000Do not play into their plans to do something that you might regret that might be uncharacteristic.
00:34:38.000The best way to actually fight back against this is to get our own people that we have given arrest authority to, that we have given investigative authority to, to go do what the Manhattan DA equivalent has done.
00:34:51.000You're trying to tell me these Democrats have not committed crimes in red states.
00:34:54.000We know the Clinton Crime Initiative had offices and a base in Arkansas.
00:35:03.000You're trying to tell me Hunter Biden didn't do a hush money payment to the sugar, he was the sugar daddy to that woman that he impregnated and denied it was her.
00:35:12.000And then there's this poor child that is growing up without a father in Arkansas.
00:35:18.000That whole situation has not been covered by the media.
00:35:20.000And could that payment be classified as a campaign finance violation?
00:35:25.000And by the way, this is done all the time if it is actually done what they say Donald Trump did.
00:35:30.000Did you know the Obama campaign fined big for hiding donors and keeping illegal donations?
00:35:37.000Did you know that Bill Clinton did a $850,000 hush money payment and nobody cared?
00:35:44.000Bragg is using the criminal justice system to indict Trump, even though Hillary and Bill Clinton did the exact same thing.
00:35:51.000Of course, this is all just complaining because they're always going to do the same thing.
00:35:56.000And yes, we might have the moral high ground, but at what point do we say we're actually going to be willing to use political power to even the playing field?
00:36:07.000I do not find delight in talking about this.
00:36:11.000But you're going to see two types of Republicans emerge.
00:36:14.000You're going to see the type of Republican that complains about it.
00:37:12.000It's why they actually fear Donald Trump.
00:37:14.000It's because Donald Trump was able to displace them from power for four years.
00:37:18.000That's why they have to try to remove him.
00:37:22.000And it's going to be very fascinating how many Republicans are going to kind of just say the normy thing here because they want Donald Trump out of the picture.
00:37:30.000But I want to push back on what some people are saying.
00:37:32.000You're emailing me freedom at charliekirk.com.
00:37:35.000Oh, Charlie, this is going to be major backfire.
00:37:52.000The only way this stops is when Republican attorneys general and Republican prosecutors start to actually use political power against the Democrats that are criminalizing and persecuting us.
00:38:09.000And just to summarize all of this, what you're about to see tomorrow, if Donald Trump gets fingerprinted, if Donald Trump gets arrested, it is petty.
00:38:18.000And it is pent-up revenge of a blood oath that they made to one another that night they were supposed to take over the American government in 2016.
00:38:27.000Thanks so much for listening, everybody.
00:38:28.000Email me your thoughts as always freedom at charliekirk.com.
