00:01:17.000 Maybe Charlie Kirk is on the college campus.
00:01:19.000 I want you to know we are lucky to have Charlie Kirk.
00:01:22.000 Charlie Kirk's running the White House, folks.
00:01:26.000 I want to thank Charlie.
00:01:27.000 He's an incredible guy.

00:01:36.000 We will not embrace the ideas that have destroyed countries, destroyed lives, and we are going to fight for freedom on campuses across the country.
00:01:45.000 That's why we are here.
00:01:48.000 Brought to you by the Loan Experts I Trust, Andrew and Todd at Sierra Pacific Mortgage at andrewandTodd.com.
00:01:57.000 John Durham has finally serviced four years.
00:02:02.000 I'll tell you, I am a bitter man today, and bitterness is not a good emotion to be hosting a show in.
00:02:08.000 You should not be bitter.
00:02:09.000 Bitter is bad.
00:02:10.000 And so hopefully I can get over it.
00:02:11.000 Maybe Kash Patel later in the program can ease me of my bitterness.
00:02:16.000 One of our team members, very smart man, has put together the glass half full take.
00:02:21.000 And I'm going to try my best to articulate it.
00:02:23.000 But first, I'm going to tell you that I am really, really upset.
00:02:27.000 I mean, for years, we were talking about Peter Struckstroke, Smirk, and Lisa Page.
00:02:31.000 And let's just remind ourselves of what happened here.
00:02:34.000 This was a coup by the FBI, confirmed.
00:02:37.000 Durham confirmed all of our theories, by the way.
00:02:39.000 Crossfire Hurricane Never Should have been launched.
00:02:41.000 It was done by the foreign spy Christopher Steele.
00:02:44.000 Hillary Clinton knew about it and financed it.
00:02:45.000 It was all together.
00:02:46.000 All the theories that we talked about that we were smeared and slandered and censored by the regime media, that they said, oh, there's no substantiation to it.
00:02:52.000 You conspiracy theorists.
00:02:54.000 It's all proven.
00:02:54.000 But I just say, so what?
00:02:57.000 I knew I was, we knew we were right a couple years ago.
00:03:00.000 John Solomon with his leaks, we knew it.
00:03:02.000 We were right.
00:03:03.000 We knew as it was happening that there was a plan against it.
00:03:07.000 Sean Hannity, to his great credit, has been on this for years.
00:03:10.000 He was on this and on this.
00:03:12.000 Tucker Carlson, I mean, this is not new revelations.
00:03:14.000 We didn't read this report like, wow.
00:03:16.000 We just say, okay, here's independent third-party corroboration.
00:03:21.000 Seven years later, showing us that there was a soft coup against the president of the United States.
00:03:26.000 But it wasn't even the president of the United States.
00:03:28.000 It was a candidate.
00:03:29.000 Let's just go back in time and remind ourselves.
00:03:31.000 Remember, this was the insurance policy.
00:03:34.000 Peter Struckstroke Smirk and Lisa Page, his lover, remember the text messages?
00:03:38.000 They said they had an insurance policy.
00:03:40.000 The FBI is much more like a taxpayer-funded Democrat super PAC with subpoena power and guns than they are an investigative agency.
00:03:53.000 The FBI got involved that summer to launch this fake Russia narrative because there was a fear, there was a concern that Donald Trump might win the presidency.
00:04:04.000 But remember, Peter Struckströk Smirk, he said, quote, don't worry, we're not going to let that happen.
00:04:10.000 This is a guy that is one of the senior most people at the FBI stating a political intent that I am going to use my power as an FBI agent with Andy McCabe.
00:04:20.000 Remember, he said, remember what we talked about in Andy's office?
00:04:23.000 I think we forget what's in these text messages.
00:04:25.000 These text messages are beyond the smoking gun.
00:04:27.000 It shows that the top levels of the FBI were working in harmony, in collusion together to try to take out Donald Trump.
00:04:34.000 And it was all based on a lie.
00:04:37.000 Yes, John Durham and his report comes out and the media says, oh, well, this is a tough one to swallow.
00:04:41.000 And, you know, it shows that the FBI acted improperly.
00:04:44.000 And okay, we're going to go through that.
00:04:45.000 That's fine.
00:04:46.000 But hold on a second.
00:04:47.000 Hold on a second.
00:04:49.000 Who is in jail today because of what they did?
00:04:51.000 And the answer is no one.
00:04:52.000 They are popping champagne at Lois Lerner's house.
00:04:55.000 Lois Lerner, who was in charge of the IRS targeting scandal against conservatives, she still gets her full pension.
00:05:00.000 Andy McCabe gets his pension.
00:05:01.000 He goes on CNN and lectures us.
00:05:04.000 Lisa Page is fine.
00:05:05.000 James Comey is fine.
00:05:06.000 Bruce and Nelly Orr are fine.
00:05:09.000 Christopher Steele, have these people ever been held accountable?
00:05:13.000 You see, what is justice?
00:05:16.000 What is it good for?
00:05:18.000 Justice sets a standard.
00:05:20.000 Justice is more than punishment.
00:05:22.000 Justice is moral clarity.
00:05:25.000 One of the worst things a person can do, one of the worst things a person can do, is abuse collective power for their own personal opinion or objective.
00:05:35.000 To use the FBI for a political purpose is evil.
00:05:39.000 It'd be evil if a Republican did it or a Democrat did it.
00:05:42.000 They're basically using taxpayer-funded, what is supposed to be neutral, to go after a candidate they don't like.
00:05:47.000 And they did it full court press.
00:05:51.000 They went after it.
00:05:52.000 They went from FISA warrants.
00:05:54.000 And remember, Chuck Hugh Schumer told us that this was coming.
00:05:56.000 To Rachel Maddow, he said, if you go after the intel agencies, they got six ways to Sunday to get back at you.
00:06:03.000 So what happens when the government lies to you, goes after political dissonance, covers it up, lies about it again?
00:06:09.000 What happens?
00:06:09.000 What is the consequence?
00:06:11.000 Oh, a strongly worded report.
00:06:13.000 The consequences, a 300-page detailed report.
00:06:16.000 And yeah, it is a scathing report.
00:06:18.000 Who is going to go to jail?
00:06:21.000 And the answer, the clarion call to the unelected, to the fourth branch of government, to the bureaucracy, the Leviathan, is you can get away with it.
00:06:30.000 Ladies and gentlemen, let me make an argument for you right now.
00:06:33.000 If John Durham or any one of these people would have went after Peter Struckstroke Smirk and even failed in court, I do not know if Tony Blinken and those 50 Intel officials would have signed on to that fake letter with Hunter Biden so enthusiastically.
00:06:46.000 I don't know if these sort of games would have continued unchecked.
00:06:50.000 You see, they're just going to do it again.
00:06:54.000 What is going to prevent these people from doing this in 2024?
00:06:57.000 What's going to prevent them from launching another investigation when you do not have consequences, when you do not have a check and balance, when you do not have a stop it?
00:07:06.000 Timeout, handcuffs, prison time.
00:07:10.000 How about just the pension curtailment?
00:07:13.000 I mean, anything.
00:07:14.000 How about just the little bit of a humiliation?
00:07:17.000 People say, oh, this report is humiliation.
00:07:19.000 Look, it's temporarily humiliating.
00:07:21.000 You think that in a year and a half, that the election, that there's going to be a swing voter that says, you know, I was really on the fence.
00:07:27.000 But here in Scottsdale, yeah, gas is $5 a gallon.
00:07:33.000 But I'm a swing voter because of John Durham.
00:07:35.000 I mean, look, I mean, the point is, yes, if we get power again, this is helpful.
00:07:39.000 It is a document that we can reference.
00:07:41.000 But even MSNBC says this is conspiracy theory talk.
00:07:44.000 No, no, no, no.
00:07:45.000 Look, you got to get pretty fundamental here.
00:07:47.000 And you have to overthink it.
00:07:49.000 If you do not put people in jail or in prison, then these people fear nothing.
00:07:54.000 And they don't fear their livelihood.
00:07:56.000 No one's lost their security clearance.
00:07:58.000 Now, these people have largely more, Peter Strzok actually probably has a more profitable career now because he gets to play the victim.
00:08:08.000 The right wing came after me and I survived.
00:08:11.000 Andy McCabe has a whole shtick.
00:08:13.000 No one would have known who Andy McCabe is.
00:08:15.000 And now he's kind of known on TV.
00:08:17.000 They brag.
00:08:18.000 In fact, they are empowered and emboldened by this.
00:08:24.000 They feel they're untouchable.
00:08:26.000 And I will say it again.
00:08:27.000 What will prevent them again from doing another soft coup?
00:08:30.000 Okay, so let's just play this out.
00:08:32.000 Donald Trump becomes president, Donald Trump becomes the nominee.
00:08:35.000 What is going to prevent the current Peter Strzok, the current Lisa Page, the current person in charge of the FBI from just doing, let's just say, a neater or a cleaner version of this in 2024?
00:08:50.000 Here's CNN's reporting of it, Play Cut 42.
00:08:52.000 No charges.
00:08:53.000 No one's going to jail, but they got a strongly worded letter from Durham.
00:08:56.000 Play Cut 42.
00:08:58.000 There's a lot of very sharp criticism here of the former FBI leadership, James Comey, Andy McCabe, who were running the FBI and who oversaw a lot of these, a lot of the steps that the report goes into, Jake.
00:09:13.000 But as you pointed out, bottom line, there are no additional charges.
00:09:16.000 Nobody is bringing charges against Comey or anybody else that the former president Trump kept saying he expected them to.
00:09:26.000 Bring out the Dom Perion.
00:09:27.000 It's time to celebrate at the Comey House.
00:09:30.000 Bring over Andy.
00:09:31.000 Let's get the band back together.
00:09:33.000 Christopher Ray acted improperly.
00:09:35.000 They'll act improperly.
00:09:36.000 And I love these words.
00:09:37.000 They act improperly.
00:09:38.000 And by the way, it's the old Harry Reed line.
00:09:40.000 It worked.
00:09:41.000 They're in power and we're not.
00:09:44.000 And they get a strongly worded letter from Durham.
00:09:46.000 And yeah, I know the counter argument is like, okay, yeah, you know, it would have been hard to win at court.
00:09:51.000 Honestly, I would have liked to see Peter Strzok on trial.
00:09:55.000 I don't care if he would have gotten acquitted by a jury of his peers.
00:09:58.000 Bring the charges, for goodness sake.
00:09:59.000 Bring the charges.
00:10:01.000 Bring it to the people.
00:10:03.000 Don't just do some strongly worded report.
00:10:03.000 Show the evidence.
00:10:07.000 Put the fear of God in him.
00:10:08.000 Make him spend some legal money.
00:10:10.000 Have him go through it.
00:10:11.000 He made our life hell for years.
00:10:13.000 He tried to weaponize the American government for his own political purposes against smelly Walmart people.
00:10:19.000 Ah, no, I'm bitter today.
00:10:21.000 And bitter is not good, but it's honest.

00:11:03.000 See, my memory's not that bad.
00:11:05.000 54%.
00:11:06.000 This is back before the midterms.
00:11:07.000 54% of Americans think Trump's dealings with Russia were unethical or illegal.
00:11:12.000 Going right into the midterms. 0.99
00:11:14.000 We wasted two years of unified congressional control on hearings about this garbage. 0.99
00:11:19.000 It was all a con, and they're just laughing because they say we got away with it. 0.98
00:11:23.000 They kijacked the media narrative.
00:11:25.000 Adam Schiff, he goes out, he says, I have a good evidence.
00:11:29.000 Can we get that clip of Adam Shifty Schiff?
00:11:31.000 I have on good evidence that Donald Trump has colluded with a foreign power.
00:11:34.000 It's all nonsense.
00:11:35.000 But they had to take out Jeff Sessions.
00:11:36.000 I know that you guys in the audience don't like Jeff Sessions.
00:11:39.000 I'm going to defend him a little bit.
00:11:39.000 That's fine.
00:11:40.000 He was awesome on immigration.
00:11:42.000 One of the best.
00:11:42.000 Okay.
00:11:43.000 And he was very good on gang violent crime.
00:11:46.000 Very, very good.
00:11:48.000 Now, look at the difference between Jeff Sessions and Rosenstein.
00:11:52.000 They took out Sessions basically by making him recuse himself based on a lie.
00:11:56.000 So they took out Donald Trump's super-based, super-conservative attorney general based on a lie.
00:12:02.000 The carnage that happened because of this lie is not just like, oh, yeah, we wasted some time.
00:12:08.000 And Jeff Sessions is way too old-fashioned on this.
00:12:10.000 He trusted the FBI.
00:12:12.000 Maybe 30 years ago, that would have made sense, but not today.
00:12:15.000 I have negative faith in the Federal Bureau of Investigation.
00:12:20.000 But look, by the way, somebody says, Charlie, I know you're upset, but stop calling us smelly Walmart people.
00:12:26.000 I didn't say that.
00:12:27.000 That's what Peter Strzzok said in his text messages, everybody.
00:12:30.000 Okay.
00:12:30.000 I was quoting Peter Strzok.
00:12:32.000 Geez, I would never say something like that.
00:12:35.000 That's literally what your FBI said about you, just to clarify on here, because we've got a couple emails about it.
00:12:40.000 So Adam Schiff came on TV.
00:12:42.000 Adam Schiff went on TV and said, Donald Trump deceived us.
00:12:45.000 He insisted multiple times he had direct evidence of Trump-Russian collusion.
00:12:49.000 This whole thing was a hoax.
00:12:51.000 And by the way, they also did this for a different reason.
00:12:54.000 There were so many reasons why they had to do this.
00:12:56.000 Think deeply about why else would they try to make Russian Trump seem like a Russian agent?
00:13:00.000 They did this so that Trump would overcompensate and not get close to Russia geopolitically.
00:13:07.000 Because the neoliberal regime in DC would hate nothing more than Putin and Trump working in harmony to go against the Chinese Communist Party.
00:13:17.000 So they had to try to over-accuse Trump so that he would be a little bit more sheepish, a little bit more skittish to try to do a deal with Vladimir Putin.
00:13:26.000 Look, there's several takes on this that we're going to explore throughout the hour.
00:13:31.000 And you shouldn't be happier.
00:13:32.000 This whole thing is a con.
00:13:33.000 It's a hoax, top to bottom.
00:13:35.000 Yeah, there's a book report.
00:13:36.000 Great.
00:13:36.000 I could have wrote the book report.
00:13:38.000 Hillary financed it.
00:13:39.000 Foreign spy, FBI knew they lied on the FISA warrants.
00:13:42.000 They lied throughout the whole thing.
00:13:43.000 It was entrapment of Michael Flynn.
00:13:45.000 You had Peter Strzokstroke smirk.
00:13:47.000 It was a slow-motion coup within our intel agencies and the administrative state.
00:13:51.000 I could have wrote that book report four years ago.
00:13:54.000 I didn't need 400 people on my staff and subpoena power.
00:13:58.000 If you watched the Sean Hannity show, for two nights, you could have wrote that book report.
00:14:03.000 What did we learn?
00:14:04.000 I know we confirmed.
00:14:04.000 No, no, exactly.
00:14:05.000 No, we confirmed stuff.
00:14:07.000 What did we learn?
00:14:08.000 Did we learn anything?
00:14:10.000 We confirmed stuff.
00:14:12.000 Corroboration, and corroboration is not nothing.
00:14:14.000 This report would be great if there were indictments.
00:14:16.000 And people say, oh, you know, Peter Strzok didn't break any laws.
00:14:19.000 How could you possibly say that with a straight face when you are in charge of the counter-terrorism, counter-intelligence desk at the FBI, and you can go after a political dissident on complete fakery, nonsense, and you just walk away with it.
00:14:34.000 Now, no, the message is very clear that if you're an unelected, an unelected administrative state bureaucrat, you can do basically whatever you want.
00:14:42.000 Many of you sent messages.
00:14:44.000 Durham is coming, Stern's coming.
00:14:45.000 No one's coming to save you.
00:14:46.000 Get your life in order.
00:14:48.000 There is no person that's going to come in and swoop in and save this for you.
00:14:52.000 There is no white knight.
00:14:54.000 You got to take responsibility for your own life.
00:14:57.000 This goes to show that any hope you had in a justice system is dead.
00:15:03.000 And you better believe I'm cynical and bitter, but I'm being honest.
00:15:09.000 Picture this: broccoli, spinach, kale, zucchini, sweet potatoes, celery, soybeans, plus eight more nutrient-packed veggies.
00:15:16.000 Now, add this to the picture: bananas, grapes, papayas, cranberries, blueberries, mangoes, pineapples, plus nine more delicious fruits.
00:15:23.000 It would be difficult to find all 31 of these fresh and high-quality fruits and veggies in one grocery store.
00:15:30.000 And probably impossible to get a month's supply of them in a single grocery cart.
00:15:34.000 But I get all of these fruits and veggies every time I open my monthly shipment from Balance of Nature.
00:15:38.000 I pop a few capsules in my mouth each day.
00:15:40.000 It's like having a cornucopia of nutrition in the palm of my hand.
00:15:44.000 There's no other way I would ever get this level of nourishment except from Balance of Nature.
00:15:50.000 And I want you to get it too.

00:16:11.000 For six years, they plotted and planned.
00:16:14.000 And they launched not just a coup, but some could call it almost an insurrection.
00:16:19.000 Peter Strzok, Lisa Page, Bruce and Nelliore, James Comey, Andy McCabe, they get away with it.
00:16:23.000 They totally get away with it.
00:16:25.000 There's no justice.
00:16:26.000 Durham book report, no justice.
00:16:29.000 There's more evidence and a stronger case to charge Strzok, Comey, Paige, McCabe with insurrection than any of the Proud Boys or Donald Trump.
00:16:42.000 I'll say that again.
00:16:43.000 There is more, not all insurrections are riots.
00:16:46.000 These people attempted to subvert and overthrow our system of elective governance.
00:16:52.000 How is that not an insurrection?
00:16:54.000 They used leaks and lies to subvert our system of electoral government.
00:16:58.000 And again, not all insurrections are riots.
00:17:00.000 So now that they're trying to charge Donald Trump as an insurrectionist, you know who the true insurrectionists are?
00:17:04.000 Strzok, Comey, Paige.
00:17:06.000 They'll never get attempted with that.
00:17:08.000 But these are silent coups done in a subterranean fashion below the surface in the administrative state.
00:17:14.000 Joining us now is Kash Patel.
00:17:16.000 Cash, welcome to the program.
00:17:18.000 So, Cash, I'm very bitter here.
00:17:19.000 No one's going to go to jail.
00:17:21.000 They all get away with it.
00:17:22.000 They get full pension.
00:17:23.000 They get CNN contributorships.
00:17:24.000 There is no justice.
00:17:26.000 Am I missing anything, Cash?
00:17:28.000 Floor is yours.
00:17:29.000 Charlie, it's great to be with you.
00:17:32.000 And I am equally bitter and sit to be tied.
00:17:35.000 I was Durham's biggest champion.
00:17:36.000 I've been on your show supporting his work over the last year and a half.
00:17:40.000 And now's the time I become his biggest critical analyst because he failed.
00:17:45.000 He failed.
00:17:46.000 He registerated the Russia Gate report, which Steven and I wrote five years ago.
00:17:49.000 And he added a little more, you know, nuts and bolts to it.
00:17:52.000 But who cares?
00:17:53.000 We already knew all of the crimes that you have outlined that were committed by the people you talked about, like the Comey's, McCabe, Strzok, Clapper, Brennan, et cetera.
00:18:02.000 What he did was maybe land a political victory because he's got the fake news at least coming out with the headlines that the FBI is devastating.
00:18:11.000 Of course, they're devastating.
00:18:12.000 They're criminal.
00:18:13.000 But what you're talking about, what I've been talking about, what I've been hoping for, is that there would be a prosecution of these individuals.
00:18:19.000 And at the way he laid it out, he basically said all but everything that means you're a criminal and came up short.
00:18:28.000 And I don't know if Garland stopped him or if he didn't have the gall to do it, but either way, it's totally insufficient.
00:18:33.000 And people like Andy McCabe, whose pension was restored, our House of Representatives and Republican majority should zero that out immediately based on this report alone.
00:18:41.000 Yeah, they likely won't.
00:18:43.000 I'm just being honest.
00:18:45.000 It just seems as if they're afraid.
00:18:46.000 Let's just be honest.
00:18:47.000 Most House Republicans are afraid of the FBI.
00:18:50.000 They're afraid of the dirt the FBI has on them.
00:18:52.000 They're afraid of the administrative state.
00:18:54.000 They're afraid of the Department of Justice.
00:18:55.000 They live in fear of the fourth branch of government.
00:19:00.000 So, Cash, this reminds me of, remember that report?
00:19:03.000 Oh, Hillary Clinton mishandled sensitive information and smashed, but we're not going to indict.
00:19:09.000 And yet, but here's the thing.
00:19:11.000 They're going all after Donald Trump.
00:19:13.000 They've indicted Trump in New York.
00:19:15.000 I mean, Cash, this feels so flagrant.
00:19:21.000 Powerful, secretive police organizations are a death to free societies.
00:19:25.000 They're a death.
00:19:26.000 The police must be under control of the people.
00:19:28.000 They must be under control of the sovereign or have some check and balance.
00:19:31.000 And basically, what we have seen is they're untouchable.
00:19:37.000 They do whatever they want.
00:19:38.000 In fact, they're only more powerful than before this cash.
00:19:41.000 And this was an attempted insurrection against our republic.
00:19:44.000 Your thoughts?
00:19:45.000 You're absolutely right.
00:19:47.000 Look, the FBI has become the police state.
00:19:50.000 America does not have a single-tier system of justice.
00:19:53.000 America cannot lecture the rest of the world on how good our judiciary is.
00:19:56.000 Our judiciary and the FBI are corrupt criminal gangsters, and they have put it on full display.
00:20:02.000 You need look no further than Chris Ray's FBI statement immediately following the Durham report, which essentially said, we fixed everything.
00:20:10.000 So if we were in power back then, none of this would have happened.
00:20:13.000 That might be the biggest lie to come out of any government gangster's mouth since Hillary Clinton.
00:20:19.000 And that is part of the cover-up.
00:20:20.000 They've already started to work with the fake news.
00:20:23.000 They're saying, oh, we learned our lesson.
00:20:25.000 That's why nobody needs to get prosecuted.
00:20:27.000 And since we were selectively targeting Donald Trump, it doesn't matter because we were trying to save America when they were actually breaking the laws, you said, committing insurrection acts by trying to overthrow a duly elected president in Donald Trump and subvert democracy by ruining his administration, not just with Russia Gate, but with everything else that came after that.
00:20:47.000 The Steele dossier was the basic roadmap to how they kept doing it version after version, all the way to Hunter Biden's laptop and the 51 Intel letter.
00:20:56.000 And they're never going to stop.
00:20:57.000 You're right, because the politicians in Washington, D.C., even the Republicans, want to be best friends with the FBI and the administrative state so they can get paid when they get out of government service.
00:21:07.000 And they get away with it.
00:21:08.000 So, Cash, help me understand.
00:21:10.000 Did we learn anything in this report, or is this just the Nunes Cash report, you know, reorganized with different citations?
00:21:17.000 I don't think we learned anything.
00:21:19.000 Look, I'm probably being a little selfish on this one, but no, we didn't learn anything.
00:21:22.000 And that's why I'm being harshly critical of John Durham.
00:21:24.000 He added a little more window dressing to some facts that we already knew about all the culprits.
00:21:29.000 Okay, that's good to have some of those details.
00:21:31.000 The only thing that we learned was what we put out the truth five years ago was just that the truth.
00:21:37.000 And the media helped destroy and bury Donald Trump based on the lies from the administrative state.
00:21:42.000 And that's why I was saying the political win, if there's any win here, is that Donald Trump can now go out there and say CNN, Jake Tapper, and everybody else is saying this is a devastating blow to the FBI.
00:21:52.000 They did conduct criminal acts and they had absolutely zero basis to investigate Donald Trump.
00:21:58.000 Politically speaking, that seems to be priceless.
00:22:00.000 But I'm with you on the conventional speak of accountability, and we don't have any.
00:22:06.000 We've been calling for it for five years.
00:22:08.000 And James Comey wrote an entire book on how great he is.
00:22:10.000 And now we have the single silver bullet that kills James Comey's book.
00:22:13.000 He had no justification to launch an investigation into Donald J. Trump.
00:22:18.000 Those couple of sentences are valuable politically, but I'm with you on the frustration accountability.
00:22:22.000 People belong in prison.
00:22:24.000 Gina Haspel, the former director of the CIA, launched Russia Gate overseas when she was CIA station chief.
00:22:29.000 Nothing has happened to her.
00:22:30.000 I haven't even seen Diff John Durham even interviewed her when she was the one running and quarterbacking this entire cover-up operation with Rosencrina Ray.
00:22:38.000 So it's a fail to me when it comes to accountability.
00:22:42.000 We got this mini-series talking about how great Comey is called the Comey rule.
00:22:47.000 And I mean, these people are making more money than ever before.
00:22:49.000 They get to go and act it like they're victims because they try to stop Donald Trump.
00:22:53.000 Here's Peter Strzokstruck's smirk cut 41.
00:22:55.000 Peter Strzok is a free man.
00:22:56.000 You know who's not free?
00:22:58.000 January 6th defendants who got in a brawl outside of the Capitol.
00:23:00.000 Let me be very clear.
00:23:01.000 Peter Strzok did something far more evil than what people physically did outside of the Capitol.
00:23:07.000 Not excusable.
00:23:08.000 It's not excusable what people did outside of the Capitol physically.
00:23:11.000 What Peter Strzzok did is more than just get in a heated altercation and a fight outside of the Capitol because his temper went up.
00:23:18.000 No, no, no.
00:23:19.000 What Peter Strzok did was deliberate, was methodical.
00:23:22.000 It was day after day.
00:23:23.000 It was high treason.
00:23:26.000 But he gets more money than ever before.
00:23:28.000 Play Cut 41.
00:23:30.000 The data is too great to ignore.
00:23:32.000 So yes, I believe that the president is compromised by the Russians. 0.98
00:23:35.000 And I think that takes a lot of form.
00:23:37.000 I think it comes through financial entanglements that he is fighting to become known, that the Russians know about and can hold over him. 0.58
00:23:43.000 I also think it comes from the way they're able to play into his ego and his strange fascination and coziness with dictators and authoritarians around the world.
00:23:52.000 He's wealthier than a lot of you now.
00:23:54.000 He's making money on cable news deals.
00:23:56.000 He's lecturing.
00:23:56.000 I think he's lecturing at Georgetown, if I'm not mistaken, right?
00:23:59.000 He's a lecturer.
00:24:00.000 He's making six figures.
00:24:02.000 The founding fathers set up a system where we do not have a domestic secretive police force that can take political dissidents off the chessboard that they don't like.
00:24:13.000 McCabe, Comey, all these people, untouchable.
00:24:16.000 And we had an opportunity through Durham.
00:24:18.000 So what is it, Cash?
00:24:19.000 Did they have dirt on Durham?
00:24:20.000 Was Durham threatened?
00:24:21.000 Was Durham afraid of losing in court again?
00:24:24.000 You were very bullish on Durham.
00:24:25.000 I'm not blaming you, obviously.
00:24:26.000 I mean, you believed in the best of people.
00:24:28.000 Why did Durham deliver one of the great disappointments in American judicial history?
00:24:33.000 Probably because he is a part of the institutionalization process.
00:24:37.000 He wants to make sure the FBI and DOJ are somewhat hurt by the truth, but not destroyed.
00:24:43.000 And that was Durham's problem to me in hindsight.
00:24:45.000 He wasn't willing to go that extra step.
00:24:47.000 When people are calling for defunding the entire FBI and DOJ, I understand their frustration, and I disagree with the endpoint conclusion.
00:24:55.000 I think they need to be completely overhauled.
00:24:57.000 And John Durham had the chance to deliver the mechanism in federal court to say, hey, we can do this methodically by holding the criminals culpable, even when they're working at the highest levels of government.
00:25:07.000 But he, like Bill Varr, like Chris Ray, like Rod Rosenstein, and everybody else who I'm now convinced are all friends and are all in on it together, wanted to make sure the institutions survive the day.
00:25:19.000 And that's what Durham's done.
00:25:21.000 And if you want to call him a coward or whether he's afraid or whether somebody had the goods on him, I gave that guy all the leeway in the world.
00:25:28.000 And now I will give him no quarter.
00:25:30.000 He failed America when it needed it most.
00:25:32.000 And this moment in history will come back to hurt us because it will cause an overcorrection by a populace that is so hungry for accountability and didn't receive it.
00:25:44.000 And that is what gets us into trouble when we look forward to 2024.
00:25:48.000 Yeah, look, in January 6th, the violence inexcusable and all that.
00:25:52.000 We've never defended it.
00:25:53.000 But you get pressure cooker behavior when people lose all faith in the government that's supposed to represent them.
00:26:00.000 I'm not justifying it.
00:26:01.000 I'm not trying to defend it because it's not defensible to get violent.
00:26:05.000 We've never said that.
00:26:06.000 But instead, you must not be shocked when people start acting in belligerent ways when your government is more corrupt than any other time.
00:26:18.000 Kash Patel's book is Government Gangsters.
00:26:20.000 Check it out.
00:26:21.000 It is Kash Patel.
00:26:22.000 Cash, I know you're on the road.
00:26:23.000 We'll have you back soon.
00:26:24.000 Thank you so much.
00:26:25.000 Thanks so much.
00:26:26.000 Have a great day, guys.
00:26:29.000 Okay, so what would the counter argument be?
00:26:31.000 Because you know that I'm bitter on this, but I never say I have a monopoly on the sentiment of how to look at this.
00:26:37.000 The potential positives are that now we have a 300-page document damning the official FBI misconduct.
00:26:44.000 I kind of roll my eyes.
00:26:45.000 I was like, really?
00:26:46.000 I'll just be honest.
00:26:47.000 I roll my eyes because we know that they target moms and dads at school board meetings.
00:26:51.000 We had an FBI whistleblower yesterday.
00:26:52.000 It's no big surprise to me.
00:26:54.000 Maybe to the normies and to the moderates, this is helpful.
00:26:56.000 Potentially, if we ever get power again, it could have long-term consequences on an interaction of government with the intel agencies.
00:27:03.000 Maybe it would prevent another Bob Mueller from happening again.
00:27:06.000 But I got to be honest, this feels like, this feels like a crime that is so far in the rearview mirror, it's somewhat irrelevant.
00:27:15.000 And I don't think they really care, right?
00:27:18.000 Meaning that, yes, the ends justify the means, but it's even more than that, which is the ends were so important that they were willing to take the risk and then cover it up along the way and use threatening situations.
00:27:30.000 And let's just go through the list.
00:27:31.000 I mean, this is the source of some of my cynicism.
00:27:34.000 Alvin Bragg indicts Donald Trump using a novel legal theory. 0.91
00:27:38.000 A jury just awarded $5 million to a lunatic.
00:27:40.000 By the way, I was off last week. 0.91
00:27:42.000 We have to do a whole thing on that wacky woman, Gene Carroll. 1.00
00:27:47.000 I mean, she's an apprentice superfan. 1.00
00:27:49.000 This woman is nuts. 1.00
00:27:51.000 And, you know, some people are saying, oh, you shouldn't laugh at sexual assault. 1.00
00:27:55.000 There is a 0% chance this woman is telling the truth, okay? 1.00
00:27:59.000 I mean, this woman is certifiable.
00:28:03.000 And by the way, people said, oh, Donald Trump's defense was terrible.
00:28:06.000 I thought it was great.
00:28:07.000 You're trying to tell me that the guy that wrote The Art of the Deal fixed the woman rink, rebuilt the convention center, owned the Plaza Hotel, that somehow he saw Gene Carroll, who's not exactly a beauty, and brought her into a side room at what, what was it, Neiman Marcus or something?
00:28:26.000 It was either Neiman Marcus or Tiffany's.
00:28:28.000 It was one of the she has total contradictory narrative. 1.00
00:28:32.000 Anyway, the point is she's a total lunatic. 0.95
00:28:34.000 Anyway, grand jury in Georgia is about to indict Trump. 0.98
00:28:38.000 I just want to, this is a different, this is a deeper topic.
00:28:40.000 I just want to make sure all of you know that Donald Trump will likely be facing three to four simultaneous criminal indictments a year from today.
00:28:47.000 I just want to make sure the expectations are properly managed.
00:28:51.000 You can write it down.
00:28:52.000 It will be likely that a year from today, Donald Trump will be getting the primary.
00:28:56.000 See, this is the way that they're going to try to take Trump out 2.0.
00:28:59.000 Because of this report, they might, yes, they're emboldened, but they might be a little bit shy, a little bit gun shy.
00:29:06.000 So they got to try the means.
00:29:07.000 So they're trying to outsource it to the Alvin Bragg and then Jack Smith.
00:29:14.000 So do not be surprised if he's facing three to four criminal indictments.
00:29:17.000 Do not be surprised.
00:29:19.000 Intel agencies aided and abetted in not one, but two Trump impeachments.
00:29:23.000 The FBI raids Mar-a-Lago while Joe Biden has boxes of classified documents sitting in multiple offices.
00:29:29.000 New York City indicts Daniel Penny for protecting bystanders from a dangerous lunatic on a subway.
00:29:35.000 Douglas Mackey gets 10 years for making memes.
00:29:38.000 The FBI targets conservative patriots, tying compensation to how many domestic extremists they can prosecute.
00:29:44.000 The DOJ holds January 6th prisoners in solitary confinement.
00:29:48.000 And the DOJ targets concerned parents at local school board meetings.
00:29:51.000 The FBI infiltrates and instigates the kidnapping of Gretchen Whitmer.
00:29:56.000 Pro-life activists get raided by the FBI for charges local prosecutors passed on.
00:30:01.000 And the McCloskeys lose their rights to own guns for brandishing them in self-defense against the mob. 0.97
00:30:06.000 And BLM and Antifa, they get hundreds of millions of dollars from corporate America.
00:30:11.000 And they continuously terrorize our cities with impunity.
00:30:14.000 Yeah, we're a little cynical right now.
00:30:17.000 Look, some people believe, Charlie, now we can finally build consensus against the FBI because of this document.
00:30:23.000 That's the counterargument.
00:30:24.000 I'm a little more cynical.
00:30:25.000 I think people forget things really quickly.
00:30:27.000 If you had faith in the FBI before this, you must be on payroll.
00:30:32.000 So look, a lot of people want to believe that the FBI will be exposed and that we can win an election by running on this.
00:30:37.000 This was always unlikely, and that's not what people vote over.
00:30:40.000 But this could potentially help with legislative change or Schedule F when Donald Trump wins the presidency, which basically is termination on demand.
00:30:47.000 The Schedule F is code for, I'm president, I can fire who I want to fire.
00:30:52.000 However, they're just going to try to cheat by other means, guys.
00:30:56.000 I mean, these people, there is not a level.
00:31:01.000 There's not a threshold they're unwilling to get to.
00:31:03.000 Whether it be, they're going to try a different game.
