00:00:34.000 Here we go.
00:00:34.000 Charlie, what you've done is incredible here.
00:00:36.000 Maybe Charlie Kirk is on the college campuses.
00:00:38.000 I want you to know we are lucky to have Charlie Kirk.
00:00:42.000 Charlie Kirk's running the White House, folks.
00:00:45.000 I want to thank Charlie.
00:00:46.000 He's an incredible guy.
00:00:47.000 His spirit, his love of this country.
00:00:49.000 He's done an amazing job building one of the most powerful youth organizations ever created, Turning Point USA.
00:00:55.000 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.
00:01:04.000 That's why we are here.
00:01:07.000 Brought to you by the Loan Experts I Trust, Andrew and Todd at Sierra Pacific Mortgage at andrewandTodd.com.
00:01:16.000 The border is completely and totally wide open.
00:01:19.000 And for quite some time, we've been talking about how the American southern border, the U.S. southern border, is being invaded by the cartels, who are completely and totally pure evil.
00:01:34.000 I believe over 5 million people have passed across the southern border since Biden has become president.
00:01:39.000 Over 2 million people in the last year.
00:01:42.000 Our sovereignty is completely and totally at stake.
00:01:46.000 And, you know, for some people, they say, well, you know, we need mass amnesty for everybody here.
00:01:51.000 And I say, that's interesting.
00:01:52.000 So you're making an excuse for one law.
00:01:54.000 What other laws do you want to make excuses for?
00:01:57.000 And I refuse to call these people immigrants. 0.99
00:01:59.000 They are line cutters, border jumpers. 1.00
00:02:03.000 They are cheaters to come into the American system. 0.52
00:02:06.000 And as far as I'm concerned, every day they stay in America, they're continually breaking our laws. 0.69
00:02:11.000 You break into someone's country or home and you just keep staying there. 0.96
00:02:14.000 We should somehow feel sorry for those people.
00:02:17.000 And they say they're economic migrants.
00:02:18.000 No, they're not. 1.00
00:02:19.000 They're thieves.
00:02:20.000 They're stealing on the American system because they broke into our country. 0.99
00:02:25.000 They know that what they're doing is wrong, by the way.
00:02:27.000 It's immoral.
00:02:28.000 And then you know, have these charities that come out and try to help them.
00:02:30.000 Like, well, we must have a heart for them.
00:02:32.000 Yeah, have a heart for them by sending them back to their country. 1.00
00:02:34.000 It's not that hard.
00:02:35.000 I don't have to overthink it.
00:02:36.000 Anyway, so Turning Point USA, we started a new project called Border Battle.
00:02:41.000 It's a great project.
00:02:43.000 And we've been working on it for over nine months.
00:02:47.000 And we had a big part of it is kind of our time with Sheriff Mark Lamb, who's just awesome.
00:02:54.000 And it's an education project brought to you by Turning Point USA to educate you about what's actually happening on the American southern border.
00:03:04.000 And you guys can check it out at salemnow.com.
00:03:06.000 Let's watch the trailer 61.
00:03:12.000 Americans across our country have to know that the overdose death crisis that they are facing in the northern parts of this country is directly linked to Cartel Jalisco New Generation and the Sinaloa cartel in their labs.
00:03:26.000 They need to know that the failure of the United States government to adjust to these cartels is what has driven the worst overdose death crisis in American history.
00:03:36.000 And this will get worse before it gets better, but that this issue is absolutely fixable.
00:04:00.000 SalemNow.com, the documentary is amazing.
00:04:03.000 It's beautiful.
00:04:04.000 It is aesthetically really entertaining.
00:04:07.000 It's informative.
00:04:08.000 It's educational.
00:04:10.000 And you're going to walk away from it with a lot of information and hopefully some clarity on the subject of the border.

00:04:21.000 Joining us now is one of the stars of the film, Sheriff Mark Lamb.
00:04:25.000 Mark, welcome to the business.
00:04:27.000 You say in the documentary that the, thank you, the, that you say in the documentary that the cartel is pure evil.
00:04:35.000 Tell us more about that.
00:04:37.000 Absolutely, Charlie.
00:04:38.000 And thank you for doing this project, by the way.
00:04:40.000 I think that more Americans, this is the only way we're going to really let Americans know what's going on out there.
00:04:46.000 But the cartels are pure evil because they have zero regard for human life.
00:04:51.000 Whether it's abusing people that these open border policies are bringing to the doorsteps of the cartels, whether they're enslaving those people or killing American citizens with fentanyl or ruining our economy, whatever it is, the cartel could care less as long as they're making money and gaining in power.
00:05:14.000 And that is why they are pure evil.
00:05:16.000 Look, I believe that freedom is next to godliness.
00:05:19.000 And if you take away somebody's freedom, whether it is through enslavement or whether it is through enslavement through the drugs like fentanyl, you are doing the opposite of that, which makes you pure evil.
00:05:32.000 Yeah, so can you talk about how the cartel runs the southern border?
00:05:36.000 This is something that a lot of people that do not live in border states quite understand.
00:05:40.000 Can you talk about how they humans smuggle for profit and for cash? 0.75
00:05:45.000 And that we're dealing with a very sophisticated organization of the cartel that is not just, you know, kind of some typical gangbangers.
00:05:52.000 You know, these are people that really understand the intricacies of logistics and military technology.
00:05:58.000 And we talk about it all throughout the documentary, Border Battle.
00:06:02.000 Talk to us about how the cartel controls the border.
00:06:05.000 I think it's very important for our audience to understand.
00:06:08.000 Well, they control it through violence first and foremost.
00:06:10.000 I mean, that is the way that they gain this territory.
00:06:14.000 And they've done it here in America.
00:06:15.000 It's not just in Mexico.
00:06:16.000 They have their own routes right here in America, right through counties like mine that they, in essence, control.
00:06:23.000 The Bureau of Land Management, which is our federal government, has put up signs saying travel caution.
00:06:28.000 Smugglers may be encountered in this area.
00:06:32.000 To me, that's like our government giving up and saying, look, we've just kind of conceded this area to the Mexican cartels.
00:06:39.000 And what they use is, like I said, they use violence and fear to intimidate their people.
00:06:44.000 Now, what we've seen is a 2,000% increase in what was already a very profitable business for them.
00:06:51.000 It is even more profitable now.
00:06:53.000 But what most Americans don't realize, we all know that the cartels traffic drugs into America, but do they know the extent of the human trafficking that is going on into America?
00:07:04.000 And these open border policies we're seeing now are bringing, like I said, the clientele right to the doorstep of these cartels.
00:07:12.000 And they're charging $5,000, $6,000 a person.
00:07:16.000 They have so much cash on hand.
00:07:18.000 I heard they're making $200 million a week right now with the amount of people showing up and paying them cash to come over to America.
00:07:28.000 So that's their main state of operations is trafficking humans, trafficking drugs, and they're going to do it at all costs.
00:07:36.000 And like you said, Charlie, they have so much money that they can hire the brightest and best minds out there to ensure that their product is arrived safely at its location.
00:07:45.000 Yeah, the New York Times says smuggling migrants at the border, now a billion-dollar business.
00:07:50.000 We talk about this in our film, Border Battle.
00:07:53.000 Mark, why don't more of our leaders talk about how the cartel is just printing money off of this?
00:07:58.000 Where is Mark Kelly, for example?
00:07:59.000 Why is Mark Kelly, who is the senator from Arizona for our national audience, why is he ignoring the fact that millions of people are being illegally smuggled for cash across our southern border?
00:08:09.000 Isn't that slavery?
00:08:10.000 Yes, it is.
00:08:12.000 This is an uncomfortable topic for a lot of Americans, but I will tell you, slavery has never been more prolific in America.
00:08:18.000 The cartels are enslaving people every day.
00:08:21.000 They have 300,000 people showing up at the border every month that they can enslave. 0.93
00:08:25.000 How many times can I sell you a pill?
00:08:27.000 You'll hear this in the show once.
00:08:29.000 How many times can they sell you a woman or a child over and over and over again?
00:08:35.000 And so it boggles my mind as well, Charlie, that people like Senator Kelly are not standing up.
00:08:41.000 He and I had a very frank conversation six, eight months ago.
00:08:44.000 And I said, I need you to be vocal against this government to tell them how wrong this is because you, Senator Kelly, know firsthand just what is going on here in Arizona.
00:08:55.000 And your indifference or silence on this matter makes you complicit in it.
00:09:03.000 So we had a very frank conversation.
00:09:05.000 He will pretend like he cares only because he wants your vote.
00:09:09.000 But I will tell any voters out there on the fence, he doesn't care one bit.
00:09:15.000 He has purposely turned a blind eye to it, just like this administration.
00:09:19.000 And to answer your question, Charlie, they're scared.
00:09:23.000 They're scared to say and speak out because of the way that this administration has gone after people or the way liberals and the left and the progressive attack you if your voice is contrary to theirs.
00:09:36.000 And so most of them would rather sit in the corner and be quiet and be cowards.
00:09:41.000 That's exactly right, Sheriff Mark Lamb. 0.90
00:09:46.000 Are you like every one of us that thinks our country has gone nuts, whether it's Russia Gate market crashes or selling oil to China or this insane inflation?
00:09:55.000 Well, right now, you need a financial mind who understands your concerns, but at the same time as a Christian worldview of money.
00:10:01.000 That's why you should talk to my friends at PAX Financial Group.
00:10:05.000 Look, I've given my money to PAX Financial to manage.
00:10:07.000 If it's good enough for me, I think it's good for you.
00:10:09.000 Like all of us, they have concerns, but they also have hope.
00:10:12.000 In this market, you must have a financial person who shares your hope and at the same time can help you with biblical responsible investing, B-R-I, biblical, responsible investing.
00:10:23.000 That's why I want you to text the word Charlie to 74868.
00:10:27.000 That is Charlie to 74868 to connect with my friends at the PAX Financial Group.
00:10:33.000 Biblical responsible investing.
00:10:34.000 So take out your phone.
00:10:35.000 Just text Charlie to 74868.
00:10:38.000 That's 74868.
00:10:40.000 Text Charlie to connect with my great friends at the PAX Financial Group.
00:10:47.000 Mark, let me ask you, what is the solution to this?
00:10:50.000 Because I think when you watch the Border Battle series, people will learn how bad it is, but also how solvable it is.
00:10:56.000 How do we fix this invasion happening on our southern border?
00:10:59.000 Well, Charlie, the most simple thing to do is go back to the Trump-era policies that we were under when this administration change occurred.
00:11:08.000 We know that those were successful just by the mere numbers.
00:11:12.000 Really, they need to put the pride aside, go back to those.
00:11:14.000 Now, we've got to build on that.
00:11:16.000 We've got to continue to finish the wall.
00:11:18.000 We've got to make sure that Border Patrol, ICE agents, CBP agents feel in emboldened to do their job.
00:11:25.000 You've got to do a hard shutdown on this border.
00:11:28.000 The only way we're going to stop the flow of fentanyl and human beings being trafficked into this country for slavery oftentimes, the only way we're going to stop that is do a hard shutdown on this border.
00:11:39.000 Watching your live thing, you talk about getting people out of this country.
00:11:44.000 We have to send a message that it's not okay to break our laws, and we're going to have to really make some hard decisions.
00:11:50.000 And those are not easy things to do.
00:11:52.000 Now, what we cannot do is do things like pass up on 18,000 Border Patrol agents, but fund 87,000 IRS agents when we only have 386 ICE agents in the entire state of Arizona.
00:12:08.000 So our ability to remove people that have come into this country illegally, even criminals, is very handicapped just because of that. 0.99
00:12:19.000 Can you repeat that number again?
00:12:19.000 Unbelievable.
00:12:21.000 How many ICE agents are in the state of Arizona?
00:12:23.000 386.
00:12:25.000 You know, that includes your hierarchy, you know, your supervisors.
00:12:29.000 So how many ground level guys do you actually have?
00:12:31.000 Only 386 in the entire state of Arizona.
00:12:34.000 And they're talking about putting 87,000 IRS agents.
00:12:39.000 For all of you American people, that should tell you they do not care about your security nor your border.
00:12:44.000 They only want your money.
00:12:47.000 Unbelievable.
00:12:48.000 It is so solvable and it's such an incredible crisis.
00:12:51.000 Really quick, Mark, can you talk about the damage fentanyl is doing to communities across the country made possible thanks to Democrats keeping our border wide open?
00:13:00.000 Absolutely.
00:13:01.000 And that is the cause, Charlie, because it's coming through the southern border.
00:13:05.000 Fentanyl has become the leading cause of death of Americans amongst the ages of 18 to 45.
00:13:11.000 And yet it's over 107,000 people last year.
00:13:14.000 I guarantee that number is going to be far superior to that this year.
00:13:18.000 And I haven't heard a single word from this president or his administration.
00:13:22.000 I don't hear anything from the mainstream media.
00:13:25.000 And they don't want to address it because that would expose their inefficiencies and the problems with their open border policy.
00:13:33.000 So they really don't want to talk about it.
00:13:35.000 And it's shameful that they're not because the families of these loved ones who are being poisoned across this country deserve to be treated better.
00:13:42.000 It is unbelievable how they've just turned their backs on the American people in that sense.
00:13:48.000 Charlie, I'm going to give you some statistics for Arizona because you don't just have to ingest this drug to make it lethal for you.
00:13:55.000 You just have to be in the vicinity of it.
00:13:58.000 In Arizona last year, 33 children died from fentanyl poisonings, seven under the age of one.
00:14:07.000 If that statistic alone doesn't get all of these politicians unelected, then I don't know what to do.
00:14:13.000 Maybe our moral compass is much more broken than I thought.
00:14:17.000 But the fentanyl crisis is going to bring America to its knees.
00:14:21.000 And we talk a lot about it in Border Battle.
00:14:24.000 They did a really good job of really showing the American people just how it impacts American families.
00:14:31.000 And thank you again, Charlie, for really having the guts and using your resources to put this out there.
00:14:38.000 I can't thank you enough.
00:14:40.000 Well, thank you.
00:14:41.000 We deeply appreciate that.
00:14:42.000 And it's going very well.
00:14:44.000 You were very generous with your time.
00:14:46.000 It's border battles, salemnow.com.
00:14:48.000 Sheriff Mark Lamb guides us through it from the Arizona perspective.
00:14:51.000 And it is an all-out invasion, modern-day slave trade. 0.87
00:14:54.000 And yes, the left does not care at all.
00:14:56.000 Sheriff Mark Lamb, thank you so much.
00:14:58.000 Thank you, Charlie.
00:14:59.000 God bless.
00:15:02.000 You want to know what the left's real plan is for your kids?
00:15:05.000 Just look at how they react to the wonderful company of Patriot Mobile.
00:15:10.000 I use Patriot Mobile and you should too.
00:15:12.000 Patriot Mobile is America's only Christian conservative cell phone provider.
00:15:16.000 This is because they take a portion of your bill and fund conservative causes and candidates who believe in sanctity of life, freedom of speech, the Second Amendment, and they're winning.
00:15:25.000 Patriot Mobile is amazing.
00:15:26.000 They have affordable plans for you, your family, even your business.
00:15:30.000 They offer the same nationwide coverage as the major carriers because they use multiple major networks.

00:16:04.000 Kash Patel.
00:16:05.000 Cash is a great American.
00:16:07.000 Honored to call him a friend.
00:16:09.000 Cash, welcome back to the program.
00:16:11.000 I have to be honest, I'm not following this Igor Danchenko case closely.
00:16:15.000 Remind us who he is and the significance of this.
00:16:18.000 And do you still believe in John Durham?
00:16:20.000 Hey, Charlie, it's great to be back with you.
00:16:22.000 Thanks so much for having me on again.
00:16:24.000 Yeah, so Igor Danchenkov, the short story is he was Christopher Steele's number one source for the false dossier, meaning that he was the one that peddled the false information to Steele, who was getting paid by the Hillary Clinton campaign and the FBI for being an FBI informant.
00:16:41.000 But what we learned last week was that Danchenko himself, and this even floored me, the guy who did Russia Gate, was a paid informant for the FBI for three plus years after they fired Christopher Steele.
00:16:52.000 So they used their corruption, corrupt activities, and their Confidential Human Source Network to cover up their own arrogance, to cover up their own corrupt actions.
00:17:01.000 And what did we learn yesterday in day one of the trial?
00:17:03.000 Not only that, but we learned that the FBI offered up to a million dollars for Christopher Steele to go and corroborate the false information in October of 2016.
00:17:13.000 That means they knew it was false before they went to an FBI FISA court, and they did it anyway, and they were willing to pay a taxpayer-funded bounty to lie to a federal court.
00:17:24.000 I mean, this is incredible.
00:17:26.000 And so the significance of this is that the federal government is paying for the infiltration of political opponents.
00:17:35.000 I mean, Cash, just when you think it doesn't get any worse, just when you think it can't get any worse, we learn this.
00:17:41.000 And so, what exactly is going?
00:17:43.000 What do you expect to come out of this trial?
00:17:45.000 Is this going to be another swing and a miss?
00:17:48.000 I don't think so because we're out in Virginia and we're not in D.C., thankfully.
00:17:53.000 So, we've got a much better jury pool out there, seem to have a much smarter judge.
00:17:58.000 And also, he's charged, he, Danchenko, is charged with five counts versus one count.
00:18:02.000 So, there's five separate felonies he's charged with.
00:18:05.000 So, the jury would have to give him an entire pass on everything.
00:18:09.000 And what the defense has basically said is, yes, their client, Danchenko, lied.
00:18:13.000 So, they've admitted half the case, but they're saying, oh, it wasn't a big deal.
00:18:17.000 Nothing to see here.
00:18:18.000 Sort of this thing we call materiality under the law.
00:18:20.000 They're saying it's not material.
00:18:22.000 It's not a big deal.
00:18:22.000 It didn't change anything.
00:18:24.000 And what John Durham is saying is, you literally lied to the FBI five separate times about supposedly an investigation.
00:18:31.000 They say they were running above board at the time, but you were funneling complete false information.
00:18:36.000 You then became a source of the FBI, and now you're being prosecuted by a special counsel for breaking the law while you were a paid government informant.
00:18:46.000 I mean, I don't know how much more corrupt it can get, but John Durham is going to at least lay out all this information.
00:18:51.000 But that million-dollar offer to Christopher Steele in October of 2016, just before the first FISA warrant went up, proves that James Comey and company lied to the world when they said we had verified all the relevant information in that application in the Steele dossier.
00:19:06.000 They had offered a million reasons for the world to believe a million more of their lies.
00:19:11.000 So there's a politico article that says Danchenko trial opens, expected to be last of prosecutors probe.
00:19:17.000 Is that really it?
00:19:18.000 This is it for Durham.
00:19:18.000 Cash, all this buildup, all of this drama for a suspect acquittal.
00:19:25.000 Yeah.
00:19:27.000 I don't know.
00:19:28.000 You know, I've been big on John Durham.
00:19:30.000 I hope it's not his last one.
00:19:31.000 I don't know what the sourcing is.
00:19:33.000 I have no inside information on it.
00:19:36.000 But he's trying this case himself.
00:19:38.000 He's actually in the courtroom doing the prosecuting, which is a rarity.
00:19:43.000 So that's interesting.
00:19:44.000 But I really hope not.
00:19:46.000 You know this.
00:19:47.000 I've been on your show a lot, and I've gone big on John Durham in the past.
00:19:51.000 And I just hope that this is not the last one, because you're right.
00:19:54.000 It would be a tragic end to hold almost no one at the mid-levels is where I wanted to go accountable.
00:20:00.000 Strzoks, the Pages, the McCabes and company.
00:20:03.000 And if this is where it ends, then we're going to have to just go in and do it ourselves in 24, but that's going to be too late, as you and I have talked about.
00:20:12.000 Yeah, I mean, so we impeached a president for a bunch of lies twice, and then the FBI now admits, you know, basically that they can't prove.
00:20:20.000 I mean, so I'm just, let me just, I'm really curious.
00:20:23.000 It's not for a lack of evidence, Cash, right?
00:20:25.000 We have the evidence.
00:20:26.000 Is it just a lack of will or Durham is afraid to lose?
00:20:29.000 What's going on?
00:20:30.000 Well, remember, the one man that John Durham has to be controlled by by the law is Merrick Garland.
00:20:36.000 And we've seen Merrick Garland, as I refer to these people now corrupted at the top levels of government, government gangsters, is the most politically motivated attorney general in the history of the United States.
00:20:47.000 And you can just see this from all his recent actions that you and I have talked about extensively.
00:20:51.000 So John Durham reports to Merrick Garland, and if Merrick Garland doesn't give him the permission to continue prosecuting, then John Durham doesn't have the ability to do so.
00:21:00.000 So if that's the case, then we need to find that out.
00:21:02.000 If he was shut down by a politically active attorney general from exposing more of their own corruption, and that'll that'll, you know, I mean, the FBI and DOJ have to be completely overhauled as it is.
00:21:12.000 But if we come to find that out after we have midterm victory here, and that's what happens, then, you know, I don't know that the faith in these institutions can be restored anytime soon.
00:21:22.000 Yeah, I'm afraid you're right.
00:21:23.000 And so I just, I know so many people in our audience are waiting, you know, for some form of justice.
00:21:28.000 And I just don't think we're ever going to see it with Peter Strzzok or Lisa Page or any of these people, unfortunately.
00:21:34.000 I just don't think they're ever going to be held accountable.
00:21:38.000 And so, you know, the FACE Act makes it a federal crime to use force, the threat of force or physical obstruction to prevent individuals from obtaining or providing reproductive health care services.
00:21:49.000 I think it's widely being misapplied.
00:21:52.000 Cash, so let me get this straight.
00:21:53.000 If you spy on a president and create a plot against a president, you could walk freely, but you go outside of a liberal life center and sing hymns and you're going to be raided by the FBI.
00:22:03.000 How does that one work?
00:22:04.000 Yeah, that's the two-tier system of justice that this administration under Merrick Garland and Chris Ray has created for the American people.
00:22:11.000 They are politically targeting individuals instead of targeting individuals for crimes.
00:22:16.000 They are manufacturing crimes and committing, I think, unlawful activities at the DOJ and FBI.
00:22:22.000 But as you outlined, this is a two-tier system of justice that they have basically built single-handedly in modern day America, which was never ever supposed to have that occur.
00:22:33.000 And I get your and my and everybody else's outrage on this because it is destroying America's ability to trust its law enforcement.
00:22:42.000 Yeah, I just see it, you know, time and time again.
00:22:45.000 So what can the new Congress possibly do, Cash, in this regard?
00:22:48.000 I mean, criminal referrals obviously do nothing.
00:22:52.000 Can the new Congress do anything about this or is just kind of Russia Gate going to go into the memory and nothing's going to happen?
00:22:59.000 Well, the new Congress can do what Devin and I did when we ran Russia Gate, which is stand up a committee to at least educate the world on what actually happened and get the truth out.
00:23:08.000 I know it's not the form of accountability that people are going to want to see with terms of prosecutions.
00:23:12.000 And I get that.
00:23:12.000 Me and the former National Security Prosecutor certainly gets that.
00:23:15.000 But as the guy who ran Russia Gate, at least Congress's job is to be able to get the information out to the American public and the world as to what happened.
00:23:22.000 They can do that because we have seen how rogue committees like the Unselect Committee on January 6th abuses congressional subpoena power.
00:23:28.000 But you've seen the power that it has to produce documentation and witnesses when necessary.
00:23:33.000 So I hope our leaders, when we send them there, great guys like Blake Masters in Arizona and then Adam Laxalt in Nevada, where we all live out west there, folks like that are going to have to show up in strength to get and demand the documents and they be released.
00:23:48.000 So we, at least amongst ourselves, can have accountability at the voting blocks where it matters.
00:23:55.000 Yeah, I mean, I suppose that's it.
00:23:57.000 I mean, can state attorney generals do anything?
00:23:59.000 We talked about local sheriffs, cash, right?
00:24:01.000 I mean, is there any path forward there for justice?
00:24:03.000 Or what's your thoughts on that?
00:24:05.000 Yeah, absolutely.
00:24:07.000 You know, I was just out in Arizona and Nevada with President Trump for the rallies last weekend.
00:24:11.000 And that's the very concept we brought up.
00:24:13.000 It said if Washington, D.C. is not willing to act, then the state attorney general can act.
00:24:17.000 And Hunter Biden's laptop is a perfect example.
00:24:19.000 It's not as if he only committed a federal crime, he committed multiple crimes in multiple states.
00:24:23.000 And there's no reason that attorney generals in those respective states can't come to the fold and bring those charges immediately.
00:24:30.000 And I even recommended that they look into that if the federal government comes up short or gives him a sweetheart deal.
00:24:36.000 And because I'll remind everybody that, you know, this whole double jeopardy thing, you can technically prosecute someone for the same crimes in state and federal court.
00:24:43.000 It is actually legal.
00:24:45.000 And so if they want to play that game, then it's up to us to elect state AGs like Abe Hamada out in Arizona who are going to get the job done.
00:24:53.000 And then when our federal government fails, like you pointedly asserted the other week, the states need to act.
00:25:01.000 And the states need to step up and act.
00:25:02.000 You got a new book here, Cash.
00:25:03.000 Tell us about it.
00:25:04.000 We talked about it before.
00:25:05.000 The Plot Against the King, 2000 Mules.
00:25:07.000 Tell us about it.
00:25:08.000 Yeah, thanks so much.
00:25:09.000 PlotAgainsttheking.com.
00:25:10.000 So it's a series that President Trump launched for me.
00:25:13.000 The first book, Plot Against the King, was Russia Gate.
00:25:15.000 I'm actually in Nashville right now at the launch party with John Rich of Big and Rich for Truth Social and The Plot Against the King, 2000 Mules.
00:25:22.000 I collaborated with Dinesh D'Souza to teach our kids and youth and young adults about election integrity and how if there's 100,000 people in the land and 200,000 votes, something's wrong.
00:25:32.000 And the media went nuts, but it's okay to teach our children about facts and history and how an election was rigged with things like Hunter Biden's laptop.
00:25:40.000 So we said it in medieval times again.
00:25:42.000 And yes, we have Adam Schiff being peed on by a friendly dog.
00:25:45.000 And of course, we have Glowing Coo.
00:25:47.000 So I think everybody's going to love it.
00:25:48.000 PlotAgainsttheking.com.
00:25:50.000 We're having a great time here in Nashville with John Rich and company, Aaron Lewis, and so many other greats are loving the book.
00:25:57.000 And it's also on Truth Social.
00:25:59.000 And President Trump wants to put it in every house and every library in America.
00:26:03.000 So, you know, hopefully you guys can help us do that.
00:26:05.000 That's our mission these days.
00:26:08.000 Final question here, Cash.
00:26:09.000 What's the latest on the Mar-a-Lago raid that seems to not be primary focus after the Department of Justice decided to unconstitutionally raid the home of a former president?
00:26:19.000 What's the latest on that entire saga?
00:26:21.000 Well, yeah, you're not going to love this answer.
00:26:23.000 So, you know, I'm not really publicly talking about that right now until we get, we're working on some things with the former president.
00:26:30.000 So we've agreed to just leave it there for now.
00:26:34.000 Well, fair enough.
00:26:35.000 All right, Kash Patel.
00:26:36.000 Thanks so much.
00:26:36.000 See you soon.
00:26:37.000 Thanks, Sarah.
00:26:38.000 Bye.
00:26:41.000 What is happening with John Fetterman, who is running for the Senate race in Pennsylvania, should make all of you the biggest Dr. Oz fans on the planet?
00:26:53.000 John Fetterman, he is, if he was okay health-wise, his ideas are completely and totally wacky, but it's no longer a joke.
00:27:01.000 John Fetterman simply cannot answer questions.
00:27:09.000 John Fetterman cannot, not only can he not answer questions, he can't even understand the words of the questions that are being asked to him.
00:27:16.000 So, John Fetterman sat down with NBC News, and he had to have closed captioning in front of him to be able to understand what was being said to him.
00:27:26.000 He cannot understand words that are being said to him.
00:27:29.000 And this is, I'm not trivializing this.
00:27:30.000 I'm not trying to be cruel.
00:27:31.000 John Fetterman cannot become a U.S. Senator.
00:27:34.000 He does not have the health or the ability.
00:27:36.000 He had a stroke.
00:27:38.000 That's a sad thing.
00:27:39.000 You are not able to serve in the U.S. Senate.
00:27:42.000 That should be a disqualifying aspect.
00:27:44.000 And if you live in Pennsylvania, if you know someone that lives in Pennsylvania, you need to send them this segment.
00:27:48.000 You need to send them these clips and you need to say, it's better.
00:27:51.000 If you don't like Dr. Roz, just don't vote for Fetterman.
00:27:54.000 You are voting for someone that will not be able to listen to constituents, listen to questions.
00:27:58.000 He'll be totally controlled.
00:28:01.000 How is this race even close?
00:28:02.000 Well, that's a separate issue.
00:28:04.000 Okay.
00:28:06.000 So let's go to Cut 57 of his interview in NBC News.
00:28:10.000 Cut 57.
00:28:12.000 Politicians should realize that disclosing limited information about their health can make it more of an issue than full transparency.
00:28:19.000 I know you're tired of answering these questions.
00:28:22.000 Don't you think that if you just released those records and answered those calls, it would be easier to put this to bed?
00:28:31.000 Once I said, I believe that having this our doctors saying that we're fit to do it and I have demonstrated my abilities and where I'm at.
00:28:48.000 He's looking at a closed captioning screen when he's answering these questions.
00:28:53.000 Is someone feeding him lines?
00:28:55.000 He's reading off a teleprompter.
00:28:58.000 This guy makes Joe Biden look sentient.
00:29:01.000 Cut 56.
00:29:02.000 Here's a montage of his gaffes.
00:29:04.000 Play Cut 56.
00:29:05.000 Eagles are so much better than Eagles.
00:29:12.000 I'm doing fantastic.
00:29:13.000 And it's not about kicking balls in the authority or anything.
00:29:19.000 And make sure you take advantage of this amazing opportunity to the only thing you have, Stan, to lose is your record.
00:29:28.000 What is wrong with demanding for an easy, safe kind of their income?
00:29:41.000 A path to a safe place for them to win.
00:29:46.000 He can't understand voices.
00:29:48.000 It's a very serious thing.
00:29:50.000 You probably shouldn't be a U.S. senator if you can't understand voices.
00:29:53.000 Cut 55, NBC presses a little bit more.
00:29:57.000 Play Cut 55.
00:29:58.000 In terms of any symptoms related to the stroke or any other conditions, you know, you hadn't disclosed the AFib you were diagnosed with five years ago.
00:30:07.000 Is there anything else that is in your health record?
00:30:11.000 Any other conditions or symptoms that you have not told voters about?
00:30:17.000 As far as I know, yeah.
00:30:20.000 As far as you know, there's nothing else.
00:30:22.000 Yeah, I don't think so.
00:30:24.000 All right.
00:30:24.000 And Cut 46 has the reporter saying that they had a hard time understanding any of the conversation.
00:30:29.000 Federal man couldn't understand anything that was happening.
00:30:31.000 Play Cut 46.
00:30:33.000 We had a monitor set up so that he could read my questions because he still has lingering auditory processing issues as a result of the stroke, which means he has a hard time understanding what he's hearing.
00:30:46.000 Now, once he reads the question, he's able to understand.
00:30:49.000 You'll hear he also still has some problems, some challenges with speech.
00:30:55.000 He had a hard time understanding our conversations.
00:31:00.000 Lingering auditory processing symptoms.
00:31:03.000 You mean he can't understand what's being said?
00:31:05.000 Pennsylvania, wake up.
00:31:07.000 You can't elect this man.
00:31:09.000 You have got to message.
00:31:11.000 You got to get out.
00:31:11.000 The grassroots have got to start hitting the ground.
00:31:14.000 This guy would be a six-year senator, and it would be so sad for the country.
00:31:18.000 Oh, it would be such a disgrace.
00:31:20.000 Defeat him quickly.
00:31:22.000 Please get the message out.
00:31:26.000 Thanks so much for listening, everybody.
00:31:27.000 Email me your thoughts.
