The Charlie Kirk Show - Journalists are Going to Prison?

00:00:00.000 Hey everybody, today in the Charlie Kirk show, Steve Baker, who might be arrested any day now by the federal government for reporting on January 6th, talks about the pipe bombers.

00:00:08.000 It's very important, everybody.

00:00:09.000 This might be the thread that really leads to the unveiling of the regime.

00:00:14.000 I also, at the end of this episode, give you some hope and a very specific example of how we are in a better chance to win the 2024 election than we were in 2020.

00:01:53.000 And we have some time.

00:01:54.000 So I want to go through this comprehensively.

00:01:56.000 Steve Baker, he's been on the program before.

00:01:58.000 Steve, welcome to the show.

00:02:00.000 So, Steve, I want you to first just start with your background on January 6th and then remind us why you're under threat of arrest from the Biden Department of Justice.

00:02:08.000 Then I want to get deeper into the more substantive revelations.

00:02:11.000 Yeah, the history is very simple.

00:02:13.000 I was actually there on January 6th, covering it like so many other journalists were.

00:02:18.000 I was independent at the time.

00:02:20.000 I wasn't a stringer for anybody or freelancing directly for anybody at the time, but my work was used by the New York Times, HBO, and other news agencies all over the world.

00:02:33.000 But subsequent to that, I did volunteer to have an FBI interview about my activities that day.

00:02:39.000 And then later in 21, they actually notified my attorney and said that I was actually going to face charges for what we weren't exactly 100% sure at the time.

00:02:50.000 And then after we kicked back and kind of did a press offensive back in November, December of 21, they backed off and we didn't hear from the Department of Justice for another 20 months.

00:03:01.000 And then in August of this year, coincidentally, right when I was beginning my relationship with the Blaze, suddenly they popped up again with a grand jury subpoena for all my videos that I took on January 6th, which wasn't necessary, Charlie, because we had already voluntarily offered them all of that.

00:03:17.000 We had nothing to hide.

00:03:19.000 It had been used in news programs, so we had no reason to withhold that from the FBI.

00:03:23.000 So then after the grand jury subpoena, and we did comply with that, then they went silent again for another four months until just before Christmas this past Christmas, we heard from them yet again.

00:03:37.000 FBI contacted my attorney and said that they expected me to self-surrender in the city where I live in Raleigh, North Carolina, the very next week, which would have been Tuesday, the 19th of December.

00:03:49.000 We went in full combat mode once again, this time with the Blaze helping me, and they backed off again.

00:03:58.000 So right now we're just waiting.

00:04:00.000 The last we heard was that they were going to have me self-surrender sometime in January, mid-January, that they would give me seven to 10 days notice this time.

00:04:10.000 And it's now, what is the date?

00:04:12.000 It's the 23rd of January and we still haven't heard from the public.

00:04:14.000 But what would the crime be, Steve?

00:04:17.000 Trespassing?

00:04:18.000 Yeah.

00:04:19.000 Well, the four basic misdemeanors that everybody gets hit with related to January 6th, the glorified trespassing charge, the parading and interfering, you know, with what was going on that day, the operations, those kinds of things, we think that those would be there.

00:04:36.000 But our intel from inside DOJ is telling us that they are trying to say, this is quote unquote from what we've heard is they're trying to save face by finding something more impactful to hit me with.

00:04:51.000 And so that is why yesterday my attorneys all came together this past weekend and they issued this press release that went out yesterday just basically throwing down the gauntlet to the DOJ and letting them know and just saying, look, you guys have been threatening our client for two and a half years now.

00:05:10.000 So either do it or let's, you know, let's back off.

00:05:13.000 But if you do it, we're going to fight and you're going to have a major, major First Amendment fight on your hands and we will take this to the mat all the way.

00:05:22.000 What have you had to pay in legal fees so far to defend yourself as a journalist?

00:05:26.000 Interestingly, Charlie, I've been blessed in that I have not had to come out of pocket very deeply in this process because my attorneys believe in this cause.

00:05:37.000 They, you know, look, these courtroom defense attorneys, they want to fight.

00:05:42.000 They want to go to court with this.

00:05:43.000 They want to challenge.

00:05:44.000 And this is a fight they want because this list of attorneys that we showed yesterday that signed to this press release, they want this fight.

00:05:54.000 They want to take it right to the Department of Justice.

00:05:56.000 And two of them are former federal prosecutors themselves for over 20 years apiece.

00:06:03.000 So the, I mean, I just, just really quick, and then I want to get into some of the revelations.

00:06:03.000 Yeah.

00:06:07.000 How is what you did on January 6th any different than some of these award-winning journalists that embedded themselves into, I mean, I happen to stumble upon sometimes weekend programming, CNN, MSNBC, and there are these award-winning people that they profile that went into the Capitol with cameras and they said, oh, they did Warzone style coverage.

00:06:29.000 And like you said, you were a freelancer.

00:06:31.000 You had the regime, you had HBO, you had Axios taking your footage.

00:06:36.000 How is what you did any different?

00:06:38.000 And isn't reporting a First Amendment protected activity?

00:06:42.000 Well, first of all, and this is something that most people do not understand.

00:06:47.000 Just because you're a journalist, whether you're credentialed or whether you're working with the New York Times or freelance, it does not give you the right, legally or otherwise, to enter a restricted space.

00:06:57.000 So if the government is going to say that everybody that entered a restricted space, whether it was on the lawn or inside the building that day, was committing an illegal act and therefore should be charged, that same Penalty applies to journalists.

00:07:13.000 Now, for generations, for hundreds of years, maybe journalists have been allowed to by law enforcement, you know, law enforcement has allowed people inside the police lines or inside the tape, inside the restricted areas, because they understand that what the journalist is doing there is for the benefit of the public interest.

00:07:32.000 And so, if they're going to apply this prosecution only to journalists who narrative doesn't comport with the regime regime's approved narrative, then this is where they're going to open themselves up to a charge of selective prosecution because my reporting, the way I saw it through my lens, I didn't see it the same way as Luke Mogulson, who submitted his story to the New Yorker that day.

00:08:00.000 And Luke entered through a broken window.

00:08:02.000 I went through an open door.

00:08:04.000 He crawled through a broken window that day.

00:08:07.000 And he's one of these award-winning war correspondents, legitimately so.

00:08:12.000 But he entered a restricted space just as I did and just as 60 other journalists did that day.

00:08:18.000 So the, of course, the selective prosecution, they do that all the time.

00:08:23.000 And so, Steve, let's now dive into some of the recent revelations.

00:08:26.000 What is going on with the pipe bomber?

00:08:28.000 You have some news to share.

00:08:29.000 Yeah, this obviously was covered very extensively in Darren Beatty's revolver story.

00:08:36.000 And then, of course, obviously Tucker had him on after that to get into it some more.

00:08:41.000 And this is just really coming into the public interest right now because we are learning for the first time in three years how much information has been held back from us, particularly about the DNC pipe bomb at the Democratic National Committee's headquarters there.

00:08:57.000 The RNC and DNC about a block and a half apart.

00:09:00.000 They're a couple of blocks away from the Capitol, very close.

00:09:03.000 What we are knowing now and what even mainstream press colleagues that I speak to are admitting is that it's very apparent that these two bombs were in fact diversionary devices.

00:09:15.000 Now, we're going to be at odds at who we think might have planted those bombs and what the purpose of the diversion was.

00:09:21.000 But the fact is, is that they were diversionary devices.

00:09:24.000 They were not viable explosives as the FBI continues to portray them.

00:09:30.000 But more importantly, we're learning so much more because they were withholding information like, for instance, what I revealed just a couple of days ago is that the person who discovered the bomb at the DNC was a plainclothes Capital police officer.

00:09:49.000 And when he discovered that, he did so very casually, which was very odd.

00:09:53.000 And Beatty's story really covered that very well.

00:09:57.000 And he discovered it very casually.

00:09:59.000 Then the Metropolitan Police Officers and the Secret Service agents that he reported this discovery to, they responded very lackadaisically.

00:10:07.000 And then that opens up a whole bunch of questions.

00:10:09.000 But first of all, why has the government, why has the FBI in particular, only identified the person who discovered that bomb as a passerby for three years?

00:10:20.000 And they have stuck to that story without revealing that, in fact, it was a Capitol police plainclothes officer.

00:10:30.000 Okay, Kirk fans, I need you to stop and pay attention to this.

00:10:33.000 If you deal with exhaustion, brain fog, mood swings, or food cravings, if you're constantly getting sick or simply lack the zeal you used to have in life, then I have some news for you.

00:10:43.000 While back, I found a liquid supplement called Strong Cell, and it changed my health in a very profound way.

00:10:48.000 I take it every single day.

00:10:51.000 Look, I knew I had to partner with them.

00:10:53.000 I did the research.

00:10:53.000 Google and look up online what happens when you mix NADH with CoQ10 and marine collagen.

00:11:00.000 It's simple.

00:11:01.000 Every area of your body has cells.

00:11:03.000 So if your cells are healthier, then you will also be healthier.

00:11:06.000 You don't have to take my word for it.

00:11:07.000 Listen to one of these testimonials.

00:11:09.000 After taking Strong Cell for six weeks, I found improvement in many areas, less shoulder pain, improved mental clarity, increased natural energy, and so much more.

00:11:16.000 I'm thankful that Charlie Kirk recommended this to his listeners.

00:11:19.000 Rebecca says, I absolutely love Strong Cell.

00:11:22.000 At first, I didn't think it would make much of a difference for my chronic fatigue, depression, and anxiety, but I thought I'd give it a chance.

00:11:27.000 I've tried to find depression meds for 10 years, and since you Strong Cell, I'm feeling better than I ever have on depression medication.

00:11:35.000 Customer for life, thank you, Charlie Kirk, for recommending this product.

00:11:38.000 So there it is.

00:11:39.000 You've heard from me directly and some of the users who have seen their lives changed by Strong Cell.

00:11:44.000 I personally recommend taking it every day for at least 30 days.

00:11:47.000 I take it every day before I go on the air, and it's helped me in more ways than I can even name.

00:11:51.000 Each of our bodies is very different.

00:11:53.000 So I would recommend you give the supplement at least two to three months to see the changes in your body.

00:11:58.000 Go to strongcell.com and learn more for yourself.

00:12:24.000 So, Steve, two things.

00:12:26.000 You would think if a police officer finds a pipe bomb, one of two things happens.

00:12:32.000 They get really scared and start calling in reinforcements.

00:12:37.000 And secondly, there's also a police officer feels, and this is a different take I've heard, they kind of want credit.

00:12:47.000 I mean, you just found a pipe bomb at a major political installation.

00:12:52.000 You're a hero.

00:12:53.000 You're Richard Jewell.

00:12:55.000 You might have prevented the Centennial Park bombing.

00:12:59.000 And neither of those things happened.

00:13:02.000 There was no parade.

00:13:03.000 There was no, look at this guy who was doing his job.

00:13:07.000 In fact, we had to scrap to find out who did this.

00:13:11.000 Yeah, it's exactly the opposite of what we have seen by the other Capitol police officers who have been given book deals, who have been given presidential medals, congressional medals, who have been awarded with multiple appearances on every single talk show with, you know, whoopie Goldberg on the view and such as that.

00:13:35.000 And now we have one of those officers running for Congress.

00:13:38.000 But the point being is that they kept this guy obscure.

00:13:42.000 Now, he was a plain clothes officer.

00:13:44.000 Does that mean he was undercover?

00:13:46.000 Those are two separate designations.

00:13:48.000 But as a plain clothes officer, he does have a special level of security clearance.

00:13:54.000 So it could be that they just don't want him known.

00:13:56.000 They don't want him publicized.

00:13:58.000 But you're right.

00:13:58.000 In most cases, you would certainly give an ad-a boy to the guy and a medal and a pat on the back publicly to let him know that he did his job.

00:14:05.000 But instead, they've kept his identity secret for this entire three-year period, along with so many other.

00:14:12.000 This is what makes no sense.

00:14:14.000 You know, it took a year before they revealed that then vice president-elect Kamala Harris was even in the building.

00:14:22.000 As we mentioned, why didn't they go full AOC with her or allow her to go out and become a celebrity victim like AOC did on January 6th when she was cowering in her office building, of course, where there were no protesters at all, but she was claiming and telling the world just recently on the third anniversary that she had comforted herself that day on January 6th by accepting that maybe she had already fulfilled her purpose on this planet. 0.58

00:14:49.000 So she was ready to give her life that day.

00:14:51.000 Of course, her life was under no such threat.

00:14:53.000 But why didn't Kamala Harris milk the same level of sympathy for the purpose of the narrative capture that the Democrats gained on that day to begin with?

00:15:05.000 But they didn't.

00:15:05.000 They kept that information from us.

00:15:07.000 And in fact, this is the really bad part, Charlie, is because it was assumed and alleged by the Department of Justice itself that Kamala Harris was inside the Capitol, they increased the charging and the sentencing on several of the January 6th defendants.

00:15:25.000 And once it was revealed that she was not even in the building at the time, that she was at the DNC headquarters, they had to go back and do superseding indictments on quite a few of these defendants and charged with J6 crimes in order to update the fact that, oh, we got that wrong.

00:15:42.000 Well, the government knew where she was, but they withheld that for a full year.

00:15:46.000 So I want to keep diving into this, Steve, because they have a problem and the problem's not going away, largely because of you and Darren Beattie and this program and Thomas Massey and Elon Musk.

00:15:58.000 Elon Musk deserves a lot of credit.

00:15:59.000 So Elon opens up Twitter X and Darren's tweet was seen by 11 million people.

00:16:05.000 That is a profound impact.

00:16:08.000 And so if we accept the premise, and we could speculate, and I want you to, if we accept the premise that this was some form of an operation, something here smells, then they have to close the loop here.

00:16:23.000 And that's what I think is they're struggling with.

00:16:26.000 So Christopher Wray might not have known about this.

00:16:28.000 It might have been a contractor.

00:16:30.000 It might have been an insurance policy, or it very well could have been something that Christopher Wray was briefed on, a clandestine operation that the FBI knew.

00:16:39.000 We'll hopefully figure that out.

00:16:42.000 But every so often, they're kind of dancing with, oh, it's still under investigation.

00:16:47.000 And then Thomas Massey gets this clip.

00:16:49.000 It's like, is it really under investigation?

00:16:52.000 And they know that sometimes the cover-up is where you really get in trouble.

00:16:59.000 Hey, everyone, Charlie Kirk here.

00:18:03.000 So Steve, walk us through then, what is your best guess as to what the pipe bomb story or saga is, and then talk about their attempts to cover it up.

00:18:12.000 Well, you always have to default, Charlie, to government incompetence.

00:18:17.000 And you also have to default to, are they, in this case, covering up their incompetence?

00:18:22.000 Because we saw from the video that Massey put out and that BD covered so well, and that so many have done great commentary on experts, former Secret Service, former FBI that have looked at this, the former intelligence and Capitol Police that I've allowed to see this video as well and heard their commentary.

00:18:42.000 All of them are aghast.

00:18:43.000 They're shocked at the lackadaisical nature of what the response was to being informed that there was a bomb 10 or 15 feet from you.

00:18:54.000 And then you kind of finish your sandwich before you get out of the vehicle.

00:18:57.000 And then you amble over and kind of, okay, it looks, you know, okay, it might be.

00:19:01.000 And then the fact that they didn't cord on off the area.

00:19:05.000 See, there were two very different responses, Charlie.

00:19:07.000 Over at the RNC, that bomb was found just before the first barricade breach on January 6th.

00:19:13.000 And the Capitol Police bomb squad handled that one, and they did everything by the book.

00:19:21.000 They cordoned off the area.

00:19:23.000 You had the police tape, everything that you expect to happen if you have a bomb scare or a suspicious package finding.

00:19:29.000 Over at the DNC, we saw just seven minutes, but we saw a very improperly orchestrated response to that.

00:19:40.000 And I will tell you that we have coming a lot more of that video.

00:19:43.000 We have more before, we have more after, and we even have another camera angle that we have discovered here.

00:19:50.000 The Blaze analysts have discovered in our time at the Capitol CCTV viewing room that we're going to be rolling out very shortly.

00:19:56.000 And it's going to even look like more of a cover-up when we show you the additional footage that we have attained.

00:20:02.000 But having said that, we start with incompetence, right?

00:20:06.000 But then we have to figure out: you know, our five different agencies that were on the scene, we had the Secret Service, we had Metropolitan PD, we had Capitol Police.

00:20:14.000 Eventually, obviously, the ATF and FBI responded as well.

00:20:18.000 So when you have five different agencies, are they really trying to cover up for each other?

00:20:25.000 Was there a coordinated cover-up?

00:20:27.000 Was there a coordinated planning of a diversionary pipe bomb?

00:20:31.000 Look, I don't think that anybody, any of the best conspiracy theory minds can put together a scenario where they could keep this quiet across so many agencies.

00:20:42.000 And then, of course, now we have people throwing in the CIA into the mix.

00:20:45.000 So I don't think that that happened right now with what we know and what I know and what I've seen.

00:20:51.000 But I do believe that we are at the very least, minimally seeing the cover-up of incompetence at that time.

00:20:57.000 Now, you throw into the soup again what we were talking about earlier about why did they withhold the information about Kamala not being there in the building for a full year.

00:21:09.000 Why have they withheld the information that this bomb was discovered by a Capitol police officer for three full years?

00:21:16.000 And then when we show you what's coming up, there's some other things that they've been hiding from us that they have not showed us yet.

00:21:21.000 So just I want to isolate one thing.

00:21:24.000 I'm totally with you with incompetence.

00:21:26.000 That's my default position with anything that involves the government.

00:21:30.000 But I suppose against the incompetence argument, I want you just to think about this out loud with us, would be the improbable timing of when the bombs were found within a short window period of time.

00:21:42.000 Would you agree that that probably pushes back against the incompetence argument?

00:21:46.000 That feels strategic.

00:21:49.000 The fact that we are even, as I said earlier, getting MSN colleagues to now join with us in admitting that these were very apparently diversionary devices to take and diminish and thin out the forces at the Capitol.

00:22:04.000 Because obviously when the first bomb was reported at the RNC, Capitol police officers had to respond to that.

00:22:11.000 And they already had a very diminished force that day, which is another story, inexplicable.

00:22:16.000 It makes no sense what we know today.

00:22:18.000 We know, Charlie, I have possession of the six permitted events, the actual permits, I have the actual permits that were signed off by the Capitol Police Force itself, leadership, for events planned and scheduled on the Capitol grounds that day.

00:22:34.000 And yet they had only a fraction of their force available to their commanders that day.

00:22:39.000 So you have your first bomb that is discovered just before the famous Ray Eps barricade breach on the west side.

00:22:47.000 And then just only another 10 or 15 minutes later, after that breach, you have the second bomb discovered at the DNC by a Capitol police officer over there.

00:22:56.000 Yes, it does cause you to, once again, you have to throw that ingredient into the conspiracy theory soup pot and stir them together.

00:23:06.000 And as this thing builds, more questions are going to be demanded.

00:23:13.000 We're going to have to ask more questions of these agencies.

00:23:16.000 And I do know, and I will tell you, a lot of people are very disappointed in Congress right now.

00:23:21.000 There are a couple of these committees that are seriously looking at this.

00:23:25.000 They actually have full-time investigators on.

00:23:28.000 In fact, we know now through our own sources that Speaker Johnson has given these committees even more resources, more money, and more staffing to investigate January 6th events.

00:23:41.000 I'm very pleased by that.

00:23:42.000 And I'm thankful that that's happening.

00:23:44.000 Unfortunately, the American people don't know that.

00:23:47.000 So they're still very...

00:23:48.000 Can you refund that?

00:23:49.000 I'm not even aware of that.

00:23:50.000 So you're trying to tell me that what committees are there?

00:23:52.000 You say there's full-time guys.

00:23:54.000 Do they know what they're doing?

00:23:55.000 I've run out of patience with Congress, but build me up.

00:23:58.000 I'm an open mind because I trust you.

00:23:59.000 So tell me more about these.

00:24:00.000 Look, you know, I'm as frustrated as anybody.

00:24:03.000 I've actually spoken directly with Speaker Johnson.

00:24:05.000 I got a half hour with him in early December where I pushed back against him directly about this whole idea of blurring the faces in the release of the videos.

00:24:17.000 This is causing tremendous delay.

00:24:19.000 If they continue to go through the process of technically blurring the faces out as they release these videos to the public, as he has promised, it's going to take him 35 years at current pace to get that.

00:24:31.000 That's what it's going to take.

00:24:32.000 35 years at current pace to get all these videos out.

00:24:34.000 If they stop this process and just upload these videos, they can get it done in a few days.

00:24:38.000 I learned this morning through one of my congressional sources that they are actually on the cusp now of dropping this whole blurring idea.

00:24:47.000 I'm fortunate that I had the opportunity to maybe influence Speaker Johnson on that.

00:24:53.000 But the other thing is, is that we do know because the two or the primary committee that oversees the Capitol and the Capitol Police is House Administration and their subcommittee, the Oversight Subcommittee, which is chaired by Barry Lautermilk, they have been given additional resources to enhance and to further speed up the investigations into January 6th.

00:25:18.000 Yes, I agree with you.

00:25:20.000 It's been very frustrating for those of us who have been working very hard at this.

00:25:23.000 It's been very frustrating for those of us who are seeing lives destroyed, innocent people that are being locked up.

00:25:29.000 And when I say innocent, they're certainly not guilty of the crimes that they've been charged with.

00:25:34.000 But to see their lives ruined by this weaponized Department of Justice has been very frustrating for many of us.

00:25:43.000 But as slow as the gears are grinding, there have been advancements in recent weeks that I'm happy to talk about.

00:25:50.000 And I'll be reporting more on that as I'm allowed to, because that's, you know, look, we're talking about politics here.

00:25:56.000 So sometimes we have to wait until we have permission, just like we had to wait on our permission to release some of these videos about Capitol Police officers who perjured themselves in trials because we had to get security clearances from multiple agencies in order to even release the videos of these Capitol Police officers who said they were at one part of the Capitol when they were in an entirely another building in their trial testimonies.

00:26:21.000 Any closing thoughts here, Steve, as we continue on the story?

00:26:26.000 Yeah, let's be patient as much as we can.

00:26:31.000 And we need more of us asking these questions.

00:26:34.000 We need more of us like you.

00:26:35.000 We need more of those who have done the good work, whether it's Darren Beatty, whether it's Julie Kelly, whether it's John Solomon, and those who are experts at analyzing these videos that we are discovering and that we are rolling out.

00:26:49.000 We need these voices amplified.

00:26:52.000 And we are making an impact, Charlie.

00:26:54.000 I said, we are getting people to be more curious, even on the other side of the political spectrum.

00:27:01.000 Their eyebrows are going up.

00:27:04.000 Their radar's picking up a little bit more information.

00:27:07.000 And they're going, okay, that raises questions, legitimate questions.

00:27:12.000 And that's what we're doing, Charlie.

00:27:13.000 We're asking the right questions that the MSM and the left have not asked, maybe on purpose for the last three years.

00:27:21.000 Excellent, Steve.

00:27:21.000 Thank you so much.

00:27:22.000 We'll have you on it again soon.

00:27:24.000 And if they lay a hand on you, the federal government, we have your back 100%.

00:27:28.000 You're a journalist.

00:27:29.000 It will backfire on them.

00:27:30.000 That's why I think that they're nervous.

00:27:31.000 And so we have your back 100%.

00:27:33.000 Thank you.

00:27:34.000 Thank you, Charlie.

00:27:35.000 Email us freedom at charliekirk.com.

00:27:37.000 It's amazing.

00:27:38.000 He was heralded as he was a freelancer.

00:27:42.000 And then he goes to theblaze.com.

00:27:44.000 And DOJ says, oh, he's a right-winger.

00:27:47.000 Jail.

00:27:49.000 And they've been playing around with it.

00:27:51.000 They've been playing around with it.

00:27:52.000 They've been taunting him.

00:27:53.000 And that's really, this is such BS, the way that the left and the Marxists operate.

00:28:00.000 And I get really fired up about this because they'll say, well, there's nothing we're doing that's illegal.

00:28:04.000 He might as well be in prison.

00:28:06.000 That's why he sent that press release.

00:28:07.000 Think about it.

00:28:08.000 It's prison without being in prison.

00:28:10.000 Wondering, you can get a knock on the door.

00:28:13.000 You can get an email saying that you're being indicted next week.

00:28:16.000 That's why he sent out that press release.

00:28:18.000 If you're going to do it, just do it.

00:28:21.000 The waiting, the suspense is the punishment.

00:28:25.000 And they know that.

00:28:26.000 That's why they make these investigations go on for three or four years.

00:28:30.000 And even though they might not result in an indictment, people that will tell you that have gone through multiple years of these investigations, they take years off your life.

00:28:38.000 And they would have vastly preferred a couple months in prison and a quick trial than four years of meetings and legal fees.

00:28:48.000 The process is the punishment as much as a punishment is the punishment.

00:30:04.000 That sounds very weird.

00:30:05.000 My X's are going viral.

00:30:08.000 My posts on X. I'm sorry.

00:30:10.000 It's always Twitter to me.

00:30:11.000 It'll always be the Sears Tower.

00:30:13.000 And it's always Camiske Park.

00:30:15.000 No matter how much you guys try to change that, it'll be Twitter.

00:30:19.000 It'll be the Sears Tower and Kamiski Park.

00:30:22.000 Two of those are Chicago references.

00:30:23.000 I don't expect you guys to.

00:30:26.000 Oh, Andrew has his own San Francisco equivalent.

00:30:28.000 It'll always be Candlestick Park, not this Levi's garbage. 0.76

00:30:33.000 Is it Levi's or is it now Comcast? 0.64

00:30:35.000 Is Comcast Eve?

00:30:36.000 I don't think Comcast is a company anymore.

00:30:38.000 Oh, that's another good one.

00:30:39.000 Yes.

00:30:40.000 It's not the Harry Reed airport.

00:30:42.000 It's McCarran International Airport.

00:30:45.000 It was always called McCarran, and it will always be McCarran to me.

00:30:50.000 These forced renaming campaigns drive me crazy.

00:30:54.000 So I would just, I want to say this.

00:30:55.000 And I'm about to brag on Elon Musk.

00:30:57.000 So I say this.

00:30:59.000 There's anyone that can make X work.

00:31:01.000 I just, it feels so dirty when someone sends me an X link.

00:31:03.000 I don't know.

00:31:04.000 This should be like firewalled or something. 0.88

00:31:06.000 It's disgusting.

00:31:07.000 Anyway, we have several X's, several posts on X going viral.

00:31:14.000 And it's striking to me.

00:31:17.000 There's all these polls, and I'm going to connect this dot.

00:31:20.000 You will see this is a pattern, and this is good news.

00:31:22.000 You want good news, everybody?

00:31:24.000 I'm going to ask you this as a speculation, and I want you to answer it as a hypothetical.

00:31:31.000 If Elon Musk had not liberated Twitter, do you think immigration would be the number one issue in America right now?

00:31:37.000 If Elon Musk had not liberated X or Twitter, would immigration be the number one issue in America?

00:31:46.000 Do you know immigration is now the number one issue over inflation, definitely over abortion, over everything?

00:31:51.000 It is the number one issue on every single poll.

00:31:55.000 The same way we've moved public opinion on the trans issue, I truly believe Elon Musk allowing free dialogue on Twitter X is shifting public opinion in real time.

00:32:09.000 This is why they have to try to take out Elon Musk.

00:32:11.000 Now, we've spent a fair amount of time talking about how they're going to try to assassinate Trump.

00:32:16.000 They're going to try to get rid of the election.

00:32:19.000 I firmly believe that this election in November will be fair, not fair, fairer because of Elon Musk.

00:32:28.000 Narratives are collapsing all over.

00:32:31.000 They have to get more and more desperate and more and more wild the weaker they get.

00:32:37.000 They used to just shame you on TV and bark at you on MSNBC, like the race lady.

00:32:44.000 Now they have to literally imprison you, but they are losing so significantly on Twitter and X every single day because when you start to see the images and you see the videos and you see it, I know this sounds a little bit like hopium, a little bit, but hear me out, everybody.

00:33:01.000 I'm starting to feel that the regime is kind of on defense all the time, and I hate to get too high on our own supply, but I think the Twitter X thing is bigger than anybody realizes.

00:33:12.000 And I could say it's kind of like BC and AD, before Christ and after Christ, as far as like how different it feels, as far as New Testament, Old Testament, just like how different.

00:33:23.000 Life under enemy occupied Twitter under Jack Dorsey and life under liberated Twitter is completely different.

00:33:31.000 We are now seeing public opinion polls shift the more that we collectively as a movement emphasize a topic.

00:33:38.000 That never happened, everybody, prior to the liberation of Twitter and X. We'd kind of go viral on truth or one of these other things, which is great, but it didn't penetrate mainstream opinion.

00:33:49.000 And by the way, James O'Keefe, I had a great call with James O'Keefe yesterday.

00:33:55.000 He has a barn burner.

00:34:00.000 He's got a real story coming up.

00:34:03.000 He has a story.

00:34:05.000 It's going to be one of his biggest stories.

00:34:07.000 It's a really, that's all I'm going to say.

00:34:09.000 He told me all about it.

00:34:10.000 He briefed me about it.

00:34:11.000 Keep your eyes on James O'Keefe, everybody.

00:34:14.000 He's got something really, really big cooking.

00:34:16.000 He's got footage that will make your jaw drop.

00:34:18.000 Amazing footage.

00:34:20.000 Thanks to Twitter X, Elon's thing.

00:34:24.000 We have a fighting chance.

00:34:26.000 We were enthusiastic when Elon did it, and it has led, in fact, exceeded civilizational implications.

00:34:36.000 Pray it remains that way.

00:34:38.000 Thanks so much for listening, everybody.

00:34:39.000 Email us as always, freedom at charliekirk.com.

00:34:42.000 Thanks so much for listening, and God bless.
