00:00:38.000He's done an amazing job building one of the most powerful youth organizations ever created, Turning Point USA.
00:00:45.000We will not embrace the ideas that have destroyed countries, destroyed lives, and we are going to fight for freedom on campuses across the country.
00:01:18.000A new Twitter whistleblower has stepped forward, and this might actually change the entire game when it comes to the lawsuit with Elon Musk.
00:01:29.000We're going to be breaking that down throughout the show.
00:01:32.000We're also going to be looking at, we're on Verdict Watch, Verdict Watch up in Michigan.
00:01:36.000We're going to have Julie Kelly on later for American Greatness to talk about this latest case, the FBI and Michigan, this supposed plot against Governor Whitmore.
00:01:49.000But we have to get into, we absolutely have to get into the latest bombshell disclosures out of the FBI, the latest in the fallout of this Mar-a-Lago raid.
00:02:01.000And in order to do so, I've got John Solomon, who broke the story last night.
00:02:07.000He's going to be coming on, joining me here live in studio on the Charlie Kirk show to explain everything that's gone through on this.
00:02:15.000Because you just heard Congressman Crenshaw earlier on CNN, goes on with Jake Tapper.
00:02:20.000And he went on and said, look, this thing is egregious.
00:02:27.000It's not something that we normally do as a country.
00:02:31.000And because of that, you're seeing a huge coalescing of people against the DOJ and then for President Trump.
00:02:41.000We've got the new John Solomon report that's come out about the DOJ, the communications between the FBI, the NARA, between the White House counsel's office about executive privilege and essentially the scoop that the Biden White House is not going to invoke executive privilege for President Trump.
00:03:02.000A huge break in precedent there over these documents that were found at Mar-a-Lago, the documents that President Trump claims he declassified, and then the raid that we all saw.
00:03:12.000Well, one congressman went on, Republican congressman, went on CNN this weekend, and I caught the clip and people were just going nuts about this.
00:03:21.000Liberal blue check Twitter was going nuts about this interview with Jake Tapper.
00:03:25.000And so I wanted to bring on Congressman Dan Crenshaw here on the program, who was in that clip that went toe-to-toe with Tapper on this and said, this is not something we do.
00:03:36.000Congressman Crenshaw, welcome to the show.
00:03:42.000So you're somebody who, you know, it's, it's, you, you seem like you can get both sides of the blue check Twitter and both sides of Twitter just going.
00:03:49.000And this one with They were just raining bombs on you because you had the tenacity and the temerity and the audacity to say that the Mar-a-Lago raid was egregious and it looked egregious.
00:04:03.000And you, by the way, you said that on Sunday.
00:04:05.000And I want to give you credit here because you said before we even had the John Solomon report out that it looked like they were trying to comply with these requests.
00:04:16.000Then we get the John Solomon story last night that has the whole email chain that yes, they were trying to comply.
00:04:22.000But what they didn't realize was the White House counsel was coming in and they weren't invoking executive privilege and all of these things that the legal team thought they had were not being invoked for the first time in history.
00:04:31.000Judge Reinhertt himself comes out and says unprecedented.
00:04:35.000So from my um from where I sit, it looks kind of like you were exactly right when you were talking on Tapper about that.
00:04:41.000Yeah, well, I'm glad those documents have come out recently because I know PolitiFact was trying to contact our office and dispute this idea.
00:04:50.000And of course, it's indisputable because look, if they had asked repeatedly that Trump return certain documents, then they would have said so by now, right?
00:04:59.000They would have used that in the justification for the raid, just in public statements.
00:05:03.000So I think it was a pretty safe assumption.
00:05:05.000And then you look at further context, where back in June, look, they carried dozens of boxes out of Mar-a-Law and Go, but with the full cooperation of the Trump team.
00:05:15.000And look, that's how normally things should be done.
00:05:20.000Staff is backing up dozens of boxes full of documents.
00:05:24.000You know, if you were Trump and you had a letter from Kim Jong-un or a letter from Barack Obama, which were some of the things that were taken out, you would probably assume that you're allowed to have those.
00:05:34.000That would seem to me like a personal memo or memento to have from your presidency.
00:05:40.000So you have to have some element of good faith in dealing with these situations.
00:05:46.000And if you're going to do an FBI raid and use the Espionage Act as your basis for that, well, you better be able to prove some kind of malicious intent here.
00:05:56.000That's another big part of the investigation that they're just leaving out.
00:06:00.000Well, I'm not sure they would publicize it if they had it, but this is an unprecedented event, and we would want transparency on these things.
00:06:14.000It's automatically immersed in the political atmosphere just by the nature of it being with Trump and it being a former president and the potential future candidate.
00:06:23.000And I tell it, here's what I would sum it up as.
00:06:26.000When the left is mad about this, I'm like, look, just please put the shoe on the other foot for a second and think about the following comparison, a very comparable situation wherein in 20, let's say in 2017, President Trump ordered the FBI to raid Hillary Clinton's home to get servers that he believes have classified information on them.
00:06:46.000It's almost the exact same situation because former political opponent, potential future political opponent, how would the left react to that?
00:06:54.000We need to have the same standards by which we react to things in our country.
00:06:59.000And that was the point I was making on CNN.
00:07:01.000I don't think you can refute that point.
00:07:05.000And when you're looking at this from that perspective, it's obviously political.
00:07:10.000And yet here we have, and I believe we have the Newsweek piece had up the poll last week, and the poll is from The Economist YouGov that said more Republicans have a favorable view of Trump after the FBI raid.
00:07:22.000Rasmussen had the poll that showed independents are starting to look at this raid as if they are, that the FBI is acting sort of as like a personal guard for Biden rather than simply being the FBI that protects our citizens, protects children, protects classified information.
00:07:39.000Doesn't seem like they're trying to protect that.
00:07:41.000It seems like they're trying to protect Joe Biden.
00:07:44.000Yeah, and look, I lay blame at the feet of our political appointees.
00:07:48.000I think that's when we direct our anger at someone, I think it should be political appointees who are really calling the shots here.
00:07:56.000Okay, it's like Kevin McCarthy said, better have your parking spot ready and save all your documents because there's going to be a lot of oversight in the House when we retake the majority on this particular issue and a whole plethora of other issues.
00:08:25.000I'm sure they had a heads up at least.
00:08:26.000And they probably could have squashed it if they wanted to.
00:08:29.000And they should have because this makes them look bad.
00:08:32.000Again, the fact that they didn't even ask Trump for these documents ahead of time and just assume that this was some malicious intent here.
00:09:05.000Now, Congressman, you also said, you know, you think that 99% of GOP or Republican voters that necessarily on the train of defund the FBI.
00:09:15.000But I can understand why people would be, rightfully so, have that righteous outrage and indignation at a response like this.
00:09:22.000And so sure, you're going to see those responses.
00:09:24.000That's different than saying, let's just abolish all law enforcement because you don't like the way that, you know, you don't like the way that some criminal, some criminal case went down.
00:09:34.000So what would your, I guess, advice be or what would your bid be when it comes to what you're talking about here, the congressional oversight?
00:09:41.000It looks like you'll be in the majority coming through the next Congress.
00:10:46.000I think quietly, and I hear this all the time, quietly, there's a lot of FBI agents who are really angry about what they see and the decisions made by their leadership.
00:10:55.000And that's, I think, where we need to focus and ask for those whistleblowers.
00:10:58.000We set up those whistleblower pages and like I've done with the military in the past over their woke nonsense.
00:11:05.000And what that does is gives us the ability to take that to leadership and say, this better change, or you're not going to like the kind of oversight that we conduct and the kind of changes that we have to make from the top.
00:11:21.000Millions of Americans are waking up to a country that they don't recognize.
00:11:24.000And while they struggle to raise their families and pay the bills, the media and corporations are telling them what's wrong with the country.
00:11:31.000Thankfully, there are still some companies that believe in America and our beautiful Constitution.
00:11:36.000Patriot Mobile, great people, are America's only Christian conservative cell phone company.
00:11:41.000They're on the front lines fighting for sanctity of life, religious liberty, and the Second Amendment.
00:11:45.000This is why Patriot Mobile is different from every other provider out there.
00:11:49.000Inflation has made it really hard on many Americans.
00:11:51.000Thankfully, Patriot Mobile has plans for almost any budget, and they offer the same nationwide coverage as the major carriers.

00:12:28.000Last time we chatted, I remember what did I say?
00:12:32.000I questioned to make sure that Klaus Schwab was okay with the comments that you were making today.
00:12:37.000If you had checked with your World Economic Forum handler, remember we were joking about that.
00:12:54.000PolitiFacts are getting mad at me for this again because they had a patch that said World Economic Forum Police.
00:12:58.000And I said, Oh, I think I've been detained by the World Economic Forum Police.
00:13:01.000But then it says, My whole crew, by the way.
00:13:04.000And PolitiFact comes out and I say, Okay, here come the journalists.
00:13:07.000They're going to come out and say, Hey, we can't be detaining somebody just for, you know, I was just shooting the show from the side of the street outside of Davos.
00:14:20.000I'm sure there's going to be a new conspiracy soon.
00:14:23.000Maybe it's like Klaus Schwab and Hillary Clinton had an affair back in the 80s and had all these children, these Manchurian candidates that are rising up in the Republican Party.
00:14:39.000Correctly, right here, live on the Charlie Kirk show, you're telling us that you are not the illegitimate love child of Klaus Schwab and Hillary Clinton.
00:15:32.000But, you know, just a couple of minutes left.
00:15:33.000And here's what I want to get into because it looks like we're going to have, if everything goes right, a conservative majority, Republican majority in the House coming up next term.
00:15:44.000We're going to have McCarthy more than likely in leadership.
00:15:46.000We're also going to have people that probably are more on that train of defund the FBI and break this thing open and what do we do with it?
00:16:57.000You need to hear from whistleblowers in these institutions that are willing to come forward and say, look, this is what we've seen from our leadership is wrong and biased.
00:17:05.000And in fact, Chuck Grassley, Senator Grassley, has done this report and indeed did find bias and explained us to the FBI director.
00:17:15.000That's going to happen times 100 on steroids when the House is retaken by Republicans in November.
00:17:22.000And I think that's what you can expect.
00:17:43.000Uncle Tom 2 offers a compelling and brave analysis of the true story of Black America.
00:17:49.000Uncle Tom 2 is the eye-opening documentary everyone in America should see.
00:17:52.000The cultural shift from prosperity, integrity, and faith to the current perceived state of anger, discontent, and victimhood.
00:17:59.000Uncle Tom 2 offers historical footage, photos, correspondence, and data to reveal the genuine strides of Black America in the 20th century, the deliberate Marxist strategy to create racial tension and replace God with government, the NAACP sinister agenda, the fall of Black Harlem, the truth behind Black Lives Matter, and the demoralization of America for political power.
00:18:19.000Don't miss Uncle Tom 2 from executive producer Larry Elder and director Justin Malone with Brandon Tatum, Vodie Bockam, and Chad O. Jackson.
00:18:55.000In Florida, ultra-mega Republican, Florida State Representative Anthony Sabatini.
00:19:00.000Shoot, if it was up to me, I would totally defund the FBI.
00:19:03.000He's running for Congress in Florida's 7th district and has been making the rounds on far-right media after writing a tweet saying sever all ties with DOJ immediately.
00:19:14.000And any FBI agent conducting law enforcement functions outside the purview of our state should be arrested upon sight.
00:19:24.000Well, because what they're doing is unlawful.
00:19:26.000It's time to actually start protecting the rights of Floridians under the 10th Amendment and push back against a lawless federal government.
00:19:44.000You know, when DOJ and FBI and all these federal law enforcement agencies were created 100 years ago, they were doing so because they were, you know, there was a thought that we needed them to prosecute interstate crimes.
00:19:56.000Well, I think the best way to go about it is just have interstate compacts.
00:20:00.000Let Republican states or blue states come up with compacts on how to stop the crimes that are happening among states.
00:20:07.000We don't need a giant federal apparatus anymore.
00:20:10.000I mean, the FBI was creating a sort of pre-technological age.
00:20:14.000And, you know, obviously the whole thing was new.
00:20:16.000There was a lot of stuff going on 100 years ago where they thought it was a necessity.
00:20:21.000I think we can go back to letting states exercise their own police power.
00:20:25.000So that's what we need to do at the federal level.
00:20:27.000And of course, in that interview, I talked about a lot of what we need to do at the state level, which in my eyes is totally cut ties with DOJ, which has become so partisan and so corrupt and so unaccountable that Republican states should just cut ties with them until we can get it at least reformed.
00:20:42.000Well, and if I remember correctly, part of the history was that with bank robbers, actually, and you're buying slide types.
00:20:48.000And the idea was that, you know, you rob a bank in one state and then you take the money from there and you unite across states.
00:20:55.000So how does one state have the jurisdiction to prosecute for a crime that was committed in another state?
00:21:24.000And look, we just had Congressman Crenshaw on before you.
00:21:27.000And the one thing, and I was busting his shops a little bit and I asked him if he was the illegitimate love child of Claus Robin, Hillary Clinton.
00:21:37.000And I brought up Justin Trudeau as well in Castro.
00:21:41.000And but what he committed to, in all seriousness, was federal reform of the FBI.
00:21:47.000And I think that the way you're talking about it, the idea of what, because what you're talking about isn't necessarily just abolish law enforcement.
00:21:54.000What you're saying is empower local law enforcement, state-based law enforcement.
00:22:00.000And then if there is a federal role, I think it makes more sense to have it, at least in lines with this framework, have that federal role be sort of just a coordinator between the different local and state agencies.
00:22:27.000Nobody imagined you'd have this omnipotent government with endless amounts of three-letter agencies and alphabet soup that's totally unaccountable to the people.
00:22:59.000And they've just grown way, way, way too big and have way too much power.
00:23:04.000And the initial reaction from sort of the anti-maga wing of the Republican Party was very telling because they kind of laughed at the idea of defunding or cutting down the authority of the FBI, but shows you how far they've come.
00:23:16.000I mean, this is all common sense, old school conservatism.
00:23:19.000Go back to states' rights and local control.
00:23:23.000Well, earlier in the program, I said it quickly, but I want to point out that this is where I come to it on this.
00:23:29.000You can be pro-police, but not pro-police state, right?
00:23:34.000There's an obvious difference between this.
00:23:36.000And I think it's ridiculous when I hear people, and you hear it from various entities, Get rid of all police, no have any police, abolish the entire agency.
00:23:46.000No, no, no, no, that's what we're talking about.
00:23:47.000We're saying we just don't want to live like we're in communist China.
00:23:50.000We don't want the CCP running us even more than they've already infiltrated us.
00:23:53.000And so, no, we don't want a police state.
00:24:25.000I think the minimum we do is real reform and cut back on.
00:24:30.000Well, I mean, start with actually looking at their mission statement and looking at how many crimes they're actually focused on.
00:24:37.000I mean, how much drug interdiction or human trafficking are they focused on versus partisan sort of silliness with Trump and school board parents at these sorts of meetings?
00:24:47.000How many resources are going to sort of what pot?
00:24:52.000But I would go a step further and say, if we don't do it, I'm going to vote against any budget that continues to fully fund the DOJ at the levels that's being funded now until we see form reform because we got to have reform.
00:25:03.000We can't just promise reform, keep funding the tyranny, and then never do anything about it.
00:25:07.000So, but I absolutely agree and I commit that.
00:25:10.000Well, and I think what you're saying there, obviously, is you got to ratchet up the pressure.
00:25:14.000You can't just say that we're going to do something, we're going to do something, we're going to do something.
00:25:18.000You can do something right now, and that's the power of the fur string.
00:25:20.000And of course, Congress still has that.
00:25:22.000And we're seeing, I'm going to talk about later about this raid with President Trump.
00:25:26.000And that's obviously what predicated all of this discussion is that they're essentially stating that the Biden administration is not working with executive privilege, that we're not going through with these various forms of, you know, and John Solomon basically he's got the email chain.
00:25:42.000He's got the entire email chain between the FBI, the National Archive, between Trump, between the White House.
00:25:56.000And the idea, though, is it's as if the federal bureaucracy is trying to usurp the Constitution, usurp the presidency, usurp the power of Congress, institute themselves as their own fourth branch of government that was never supposed to be.
00:26:12.000And Congress, by and large, has abrogated its role in not only oversight, but as you say, funding.
00:26:20.000And so I think that's something that directly Congress can be done on day one to say, if you want funding for these programs, we're going to have to open this thing up.
00:26:29.000And I don't know, you know, let me ask your views on this.
00:26:32.000Would you be for another version of a church committee to open up the entire thing and really dig into not only their operation, but remember, the original church committee was domestic surveillance operation of political 100%, Jack.
00:26:47.000I think there's two sort of select committees we need to get up and going really quickly.
00:26:51.000Obviously, we're not going to pass that many policy bills in the Congress with a Democrat-controlled White House and a toss-up Senate.
00:26:59.000So we should really, really be exercising the two primary functions of the House, which is the power of the purse, spending, and aka defunding things, and also the oversight.
00:27:09.000And so, yeah, church-style committee from the late 70s that looks at the natural and national security agencies, looks at our domestic law enforcement agencies, and also I would suggest one for the military to review what's happened over our foreign wars over the last 20 years, look at which generals got rich, given bad advice when it came to the war on terror, and really spend two years digging into these things.
00:27:30.000I mean, that's what Congress is supposed to do, not just sit around and campaign all the time.
00:27:36.000So, absolutely, I think those are great suggestions, and I'll be pushing for that for sure.
00:27:51.000Two weeks ago, we had a seven-point lead, and then all of a sudden, $1.5 million of dark money popped up in the race with all of it trained right on me and a pattern very, very similar to what happened to my good friend Joe Kent in Washington a few weeks ago.
00:28:06.000So, obviously, the swamp is not happy that I'm in the race.
00:28:13.000Everybody's got a somewhat similar message, but the swamp looked at me and said, okay, this guy is on War Room with Steve Bennett every week.
00:28:20.000He's endorsed by Marjorie Taylor Greene and Matt Gates.
00:28:23.000There's just something, we don't want this guy here.
00:29:05.000And we saw, by the way, we saw this with Carrie Lake when Charlie and I were running the election night in Phoenix because that night we were up till, and now for Charlie, it was midnight.
00:29:16.000For me, I deployed from the East Coast, so I'm still in East Coast time like three in the morning.
00:29:20.000They refused to allow the counting of those election day votes.
00:30:13.000A lot of the precincts are going to be automatically counted very quickly.
00:30:17.000And then some of the more rural precincts will take a little bit later, but we should have the answer to everything by nine.
00:30:22.000Florida is really probably the fastest state in the country.
00:30:25.000And that's because we saw election fraud and attempts at fraud even before 2020.
00:30:31.000For those who remember, Rick Scott, our governor at the time, had the deal with a woman named Brenda Snipes who had paper ballots sent out even after the election and stored for weeks afterwards down in Broward and Palm Beach counties.
00:30:44.000So we started ratcheting up our election laws going into 2020.
00:30:48.000And then, of course, what happened in 2020, we came back again and passed two more election laws, one just a few months ago, that have really quickened and secured our elections even better.
00:30:57.000I'd say we probably number one or number two best security in the country.
00:31:02.000The ability to take those type of election laws and federalize them because I want to copy and paste that on every one of these states.
00:31:23.000Tell them, you know, we'll do things if you just take it, you know, do election security in your states.
00:31:28.000Here's what Congress will do to help make it happen at no cost.
00:31:32.000I mean, that's what the liberals and the Dems have done forever is they've basically incentivized Republican states to buy into federal programs.
00:31:39.000So we can use both carrot and stick to make sure states follow Florida's lead at the federal level.
