00:00:00.000 Hey everybody, Tan the Charlie Kirk Show.
00:00:01.000 Darren Beattie and Kash Patel.
00:00:03.000 We talk lawfare, ADL, and more.
00:00:06.000 Email us as always, freedom at charliekirk.com and get involved with TurningPointUSA at tpusa.com.
00:00:12.000 That is tpusa.com.
00:00:14.000 Turningpointusa is the nation's most important organization, tpusa.com.
00:00:18.000 That is tpusa.com.
00:00:21.000 As always, you can email us, freedom at charliekirk.com.
00:00:25.000 Buckle up, everybody, here.
00:00:26.000 We go.
00:00:27.000 Charlie, what you've done is incredible here.
00:00:29.000 Maybe Charlie Kirk is on the college campus.
00:00:31.000 I want you to know we are lucky to have Charlie Kirk.
00:00:34.000 Charlie Kirk's running the White House, folks.
00:00:37.000 I want to thank Charlie.
00:00:38.000 He's an incredible guy.
00:00:39.000 His spirit, his love of this country, he's done an amazing job building one of the most powerful youth organizations ever created, Turning Point USA.
00:00:48.000 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.
00:00:57.000 That's why we are here.
00:01:00.000 Brought to you by the Loan Experts I Trust, Andrew and Todd at Sierra Pacific Mortgage at andrewandTodd.com.
00:01:09.000 We have received, I'd say, about 600 emails in the last couple of minutes.
00:01:14.000 You are not fans of Nikki Haley.
00:01:17.000 I will say this about every single candidate running.
00:01:20.000 You are welcome to come here on this program.
00:01:22.000 Anytime, we will give you a fair hearing.
00:01:24.000 We will not interrupt you.
00:01:25.000 We will ask pointed questions.
00:01:27.000 Same goes for Nikki Haley.
00:01:30.000 If she ends up being the crowned one of the neocons, I would love to ask you some questions.
00:01:37.000 I mean that sincerely.
00:01:39.000 It is not a trap.
00:01:41.000 And I've known Nikki for a couple years, five or six years.
00:01:45.000 We've always gotten along, even though we could not be more opposed on core and critical issues.
00:01:50.000 Okay, joining us now is Kash Patel on several different things happening.
00:01:55.000 Cash, welcome to the program.
00:01:57.000 So I want to talk about this Georgia grand jury report that came out today.
00:02:01.000 Apparently, that there was a recommendation to indict Lady Graham and Senator David Perdue.
00:02:07.000 Walk us through this, Cash, and did Big Fanny Willis decide not to do that.
00:02:11.000 Well, hey, it's great to be back with you, and I'm glad you're having this Indian American on instead of Nikki Haley.
00:02:17.000 So look, when it comes to the grand jury indictments in Georgia, I don't know that they're done.
00:02:21.000 They say it's a quote-unquote report that they wanted to do something and they haven't yet done it.
00:02:27.000 So with these people, remember, this is the same district attorney who illegally leaked the indictment of Donald Trump six hours before its publication and lied to the world about how that could have possibly happened.
00:02:40.000 And of course, there's no one there to police her own criminal conduct.
00:02:43.000 Grand jury information of any kind released without a judicial order is a felony in the state of Georgia and in the federal courts.
00:02:51.000 So it's not a surprise that they wanted to target anyone in Trump's universe and they say they came up short or just didn't return an indictment.
00:03:00.000 But I don't know that they're done with this investigation and presenting cases to the grand jury.
00:03:05.000 Yeah, I mean, and Cash, you and I have been talking for quite some time.
00:03:08.000 No local, there's not a single local DA in the country that's a Republican who has the courage, the fortitude, or the spine to do what Big Fanny is doing.
00:03:16.000 Not a single Republican AG that is doing any of this.
00:03:20.000 I mean, to name, you know, they have Lindsey.
00:03:23.000 I am not a fan of Lindsey Graham, but this is outrageous, right?
00:03:26.000 It's not right.
00:03:27.000 It's wrong.
00:03:27.000 I'll stand up for Lindsey Graham 100% here because he literally did nothing wrong.
00:03:34.000 Graham repeatedly prodded Rothensberger and his colleagues on the phone about signature matching of ballots.
00:03:39.000 That's it.
00:03:40.000 Signature matching.
00:03:41.000 Rothensberger told CNN that he believed Graham implied that he should try to throw out this Rothensperger guy is a bad dude.
00:03:47.000 Holy moly.
00:03:49.000 Graham denies wrongdoing and disputed his characterization of the call.
00:03:54.000 He also argued that his actions should be protected by the Constitution speech or debate clause.
00:03:58.000 Yeah, obviously.
00:03:59.000 And by the way, he also suggested that the ballots might be frauds.
00:04:03.000 Only Stacey Abrams can do that.
00:04:05.000 And so, Cash, I mean, this is really bad.
00:04:10.000 You're a former prosecutor.
00:04:12.000 I've said for some time, the only way this stops is when we start indicting them, perp walk subpoenas, handcuffs, leg irons, prison time.
00:04:19.000 Do you agree, Kash Patel?
00:04:21.000 Look, Charlie, you and I have led the charge for one single Republican district attorney or one single Republican state attorney general to lead that charge.
00:04:29.000 We talked about it for, what, over a year now, maybe two.
00:04:32.000 You had a beautiful article in the Federalist.
00:04:34.000 Donald Trump was the one who helped push that messaging out, calling out the district attorneys and state attorney generals that you and I have for so long.
00:04:42.000 And I still haven't found one.
00:04:44.000 I don't think you have either, that is willing to lead the charge to handcuff these individuals.
00:04:49.000 Everybody's still wondering why this DOJ is bumbling around, for example, Hunter Biden's indictment.
00:04:54.000 Who cares?
00:04:55.000 Are you telling me in the state of Arkansas where we got a state AG who's a Republican, he couldn't find a crime with Hunter Biden and prostitutes and money laundering and fraud?
00:05:04.000 What about every other state he touched?
00:05:06.000 Florida, pick other ones, not Georgia, Mississippi, Alabama.
00:05:12.000 This guy was all over the country and he used the national travel system to get from coast to coast.
00:05:19.000 Every one of those state AGs could pop him, every single one of them, and not a single one is doing that.
00:05:24.000 And if we wanted justice from this DOJ, which we know is never going to happen, the only place we're going to get it is at the state and district attorney level.
00:05:32.000 But they're, look, you've said it before, and so have I.
00:05:35.000 They are outgunning us every damn day when it comes to the weaponization of justice.
00:05:40.000 And we, who actually have the law on our side, are for whatever reason, too, too big of a cowards to push it forward.
00:05:47.000 And I, and I really just don't have any information or examples as to why that is.
00:05:51.000 It's really upsetting.
00:05:53.000 Yep, our side does not want to win.
00:05:54.000 Okay, let's get to the next story here.
00:05:56.000 Peter Navarro convicted by a D.C. jury.
00:05:58.000 We're just sitting and bending over and taking it as a movement.
00:06:02.000 Your reaction, Peter Navarro, convicted in federal court.
00:06:05.000 Look, Peter and I served in the Trump White House together.
00:06:07.000 He's a great American.
00:06:09.000 And what this is, just like with Steve Bannon, is another example of the two-tier system of justice.
00:06:15.000 They convicted these individuals for a baseless contempt referral from a majority in Congress that ran the unlawful January 6th committee hearings into President Donald Trump.
00:06:27.000 And of course, this weaponized DOJ with Garland is going to do that.
00:06:30.000 Where is the congressional majority for Republicans standing up against these types of illegal acts by DOJ?
00:06:38.000 More so, where is the Republican majority in Congress when it comes to indicting Garland and Ray for the same contempt matters they say Peter Navarro-B. Bannon did?
00:06:51.000 Only difference is Ray and Garland actually violated congressional subpoenas that were validly issued.
00:06:58.000 And every single day they violate one is another felony and they're getting a free hall pass.
00:07:03.000 This is a two-tier system of justice and Republicans.
00:07:06.000 And now look, these are a lot of my friends on Capitol Hill are sitting idly by and doing nothing except writing more letters and Mother Mayhe have used instead of demanding the document production so we prevent another election from being rigged and instead of demanding an equal system of justice so guys like Navarro and Bannon aren't unjustly, unlawfully, and unconstitutionally prosecuted as political targets.
00:07:30.000 This will never stop until we get a course of Republicans in Congress to stand up and defund parts of the DOJ and FBI and get Garland and Ray in line.
00:07:41.000 That's the only thing they'll listen to is money.
00:07:43.000 It's the only power that we have over them and we are not using it.
00:07:47.000 Yeah, so Cash, I mean, you've been saying that for quite some time.
00:07:49.000 9.30, September 30th, big funding deadline.
00:07:52.000 Why are Republicans unwilling to defund at least the fringe, like fence off the funding or wall down the funding, as you say?
00:08:00.000 They just give me excuses.
00:08:02.000 They say, well, it could lose us the next election.
00:08:06.000 It's always a political argument, Charlie, isn't it?
00:08:08.000 It's, oh, well, you know, we're in power now, but we don't really want to lose the next time.
00:08:12.000 Well, the reason you lost in the past and the reason you're afraid to act now is because these people in Congress, all they care about is their names and the headlines.
00:08:21.000 and getting a good news story out so they can take it back to their constituency and say, look how great I am.
00:08:26.000 No, the problem is you guys aren't fearless enough when it comes to standing up for what Donald Trump fought for in his administration.
00:08:34.000 How the reason most of them are in Congress is because he backed their play and got them reelected.
00:08:40.000 And now they're worried about what, the next reelection cycle?
00:08:43.000 Maybe if they showed up and did their job and fenced off the money from Chris Ray's private jet so that me and you as taxpayers don't have to fund his government-funded G5 so he can go on vacation every weekend.
00:08:55.000 Maybe if they took Merrick Garland's new fleet of cars so he doesn't gallivant around the country in up armored escalate.
00:09:02.000 Maybe if they started doing those things, their constituents would be like, hey, not only are we going to give you guys more money, we're going to send you back to Congress with an overwhelming record to do more.
00:09:10.000 I don't know why a single one of them won't take that mandate on.
00:09:14.000 I mean, it would literally take one person to do it.
00:09:18.000 And I'm waiting for that one person.
00:09:19.000 I'm also waiting for the one person to get it right and go impeach Garland and Ray rather than the political piñata that is Biden.

00:10:20.000 Kash Patel continues with us.
00:10:22.000 Check out his book, Government Gangsters.
00:10:24.000 Cash after your battle with DOJ or whatever, trying to get this out, right?
00:10:24.000 It's coming out soon, right?
00:10:29.000 Yep, it's shipping in two weeks.
00:10:30.000 I sued the federal government.
00:10:32.000 The Biden administration tried to censor it for 10 months.
00:10:34.000 Had to take them to federal court.
00:10:35.000 There's got to be something in here that they don't want you to see.
00:10:38.000 It's really, really something.
00:10:40.000 Check it out.
00:10:41.000 Government gangsters.
00:10:42.000 Okay.
00:10:42.000 Other story I want to hit here is the ADL.
00:10:45.000 Cash, the ADL has been smearing people for quite some time.
00:10:48.000 Your reaction to the recent emphasis and focus on ADL.
00:10:52.000 Well, I guess it's not surprising to you or I that those guys have been coming after people who have championed America First Values for such a long time.
00:11:02.000 And now I think it's ironic that people who call themselves the ADL are telling us what is and isn't defamation and who to who not to target based on politics.
00:11:14.000 I think people have now seen their hypocrisy, just like they have with the ACLU and other organizations, the Southern Poverty Law Center and everybody else that's funded by George Soros, that these types of people have been in bed with the corrupt government gangsters I talk about in my book and the mainstream media to do one thing, to take out Donald Trump, just like these prosecutors with baseless accusations and lies and take out everyone around him.
00:11:38.000 And I think the cacophony is growing so loud with this chorus, this group of criminals that most of Americans who prior to today might not have voted for Donald Trump are now saying, wait a second, these guys have been lying to us for years and I don't want them in power anymore.
00:11:56.000 So hopefully that's the trend going forward.
00:11:59.000 So I totally agree.
00:12:01.000 The ADL has done such damage to this country.
00:12:04.000 So I also want to touch on this other story here, Cash, and again, remind people to check out his book, Government Gangsters.
00:12:12.000 Lindsey Graham, Michael Flynn, and others in this kind of Georgia grand jury report.
00:12:20.000 But the buried lead of all this is the 14th Amendment.
00:12:23.000 What is your reaction to these extra-constitutional attempts to try to kick Donald Trump off the ballot before any conviction, before any of it, just because they want it to be so?
00:12:32.000 What is your reaction?
00:12:34.000 I mean, as a former federal prosecutor, national security guy, I think it's laughable, but it's not surprising.
00:12:40.000 The 14th Amendment, it is no bearing on these arguments.
00:12:44.000 There is no state secretary of state or state attorney general that can preclude a United States citizen from running for presidency based on the 14th Amendment.
00:12:53.000 The power to do that vests in the federal government, and they cannot use it politically.
00:12:58.000 That's what our founding fathers had in mind when they wrote the Bill of Rights.
00:13:02.000 Look, to me, this is no different than when the government gangsters like Rod Rosenstein and Andy McCabe got together and said, oh, we're going to use the 25th Amendment, and you can wiretap me, and I'll go into the Oval Office and record Trump, and then we'll tell everyone he's unfit for office.
00:13:16.000 That was never applicable under the law because the 25th Amendment only came into play for the founding fathers if there was a mental incapacity, like he slipped into a coma or had to leave for like a heart transplant or things like that.
00:13:32.000 These people will come up with the next iteration of the 25th Amendment, the 14th Amendment.
00:13:36.000 They'll find something new in the, who knows, the 9th Amendment.
00:13:39.000 They'll just keep making it up because they will get quote unquote scholars from these terrible liberal law schools.
00:13:47.000 But since they are like the likes of Harvard and Yale and all of them, people will listen to them and they'll make a movement to remove Donald Trump from the ballot.
00:13:55.000 And it's not going to happen or work.
00:13:57.000 But more importantly, my hope is that it has a boomerang effect because people are now seeing it is get Trump at any cost.
00:14:04.000 We will just make up the law to do it.
00:14:07.000 And I think the two-tier system of justice is now rampant in academia.
00:14:13.000 Yeah, it's all throughout.
00:14:14.000 And you saw it started with David French and Lawrence Tribe.
00:14:17.000 And you see these, you know, the introduction of these lawsuits to try and stop Donald Trump from even being on the ballot altogether.
00:14:26.000 Kash Patel, check out his book, Government Gangsters.
00:14:28.000 Thanks so much.
00:14:29.000 Hey, thanks so much.
00:14:30.000 Have a great day, guys.
00:14:31.000 Just to remind you, Peter Navarro yesterday, convicted.
00:14:36.000 John Eastman is about to stand trial.
00:14:38.000 Sidney Powell, Mark Meadows, Donald Trump is trying to make a move to federal court.
00:14:44.000 It's all out.
00:14:45.000 It is the night of the long knives.
00:14:49.000 We did a podcast on that actually a couple years ago.
00:14:51.000 I remember it was May of 2000, or late April 2021.
00:14:55.000 I remember exactly where I was.
00:14:56.000 I did it in Seattle on a Sunday night.
00:14:59.000 I was so bothered because I saw this happening.
00:15:01.000 And I remember we were told by many senators, many people, oh, Charlie, they'll never indict Trump.
00:15:05.000 They'll never go after him.
00:15:06.000 In fact, we had many different people tell us, you know, there's no way that they'll actually go this far.
00:15:11.000 You do not understand how treacherous and evil the Marxists are.
00:15:17.000 They want a complete and total bitter destruction of everything that is beautiful and good.
00:15:21.000 And they're using the legal apparatus currently to do it.
00:15:26.000 They first had us go through moments of Covidian tyranny and then Floyd anarchy and now absolute authoritarian use of lawfare.
00:15:37.000 They want to criminalize anyone remotely associated with Donald Trump, the MAGA movement, and so much more.

00:16:43.000 Darren Beattie joins us now.
00:16:44.000 You should all check out Revolver.news.
00:16:47.000 It's a great website.
00:16:48.000 Darren, the Biden White House is creating what they call a war room to counter the impeachment and the scandal blitzkrieg that is coming their way.
00:17:00.000 Walk us through the details that we know.
00:17:02.000 There's a great story at revolver.news.
00:17:05.000 Absolutely.
00:17:06.000 Well, look, the game is on.
00:17:07.000 It looks like we're going into impeachment season and it's about time.
00:17:12.000 And we'll have a full accounting, I would hope, of the crimes committed by the Biden family, the corruption, and at least air it out publicly.
00:17:24.000 And Biden is very concerned, so much so that they're working on an entire infrastructure that would be cordoned off within the White House to manage the inevitable barrage of negative publicity that is expected to come his way and intensify in the coming months.
00:17:44.000 So is it your opinion that the House Republicans should prioritize impeachment against Biden?
00:17:52.000 This is a debate.
00:17:55.000 I actually think the 30th of September is a much more historically consequential deadline to go all in.
00:18:03.000 I mean, Joe Biden's a traitor.
00:18:05.000 He should have been impeached a long time ago.
00:18:07.000 But the 30th of September, we can actually defang the beast.
00:18:10.000 We can defund these agencies.
00:18:13.000 Your thoughts on impeachment of Joe Biden?
00:18:15.000 Because the Senate will probably acquit him anyway.
00:18:18.000 Darren Beatty.
00:18:20.000 Right.
00:18:21.000 Well, I'd say it's better to do it than not.
00:18:24.000 It's certainly not a fix for everything.
00:18:29.000 And perhaps it shouldn't be done to the exclusion of some other things.
00:18:34.000 But if there aren't going to be any prosecutions, which is really, you know, that would be the whole thing of criminal activity.
00:18:43.000 There should be prosecutions.
00:18:45.000 At least this could provide an airing of everything that's gone on and hopefully dictate some media cycles concerning this.
00:18:53.000 But so I would say it's better to do it than not, but I wouldn't attach any tremendous amount of importance to it because as you say, it's not going to be successful in the Senate and it would just be viewed as sort of one prong of force multiplier for other efforts to expose the criminality of Biden.
00:19:15.000 I would really like to see some kind of prosecution, but again, that's an entirely different story and not really up to the House Republicans.
00:19:25.000 So Darren, one of your main focuses at Revolver.news has been telling the truth about January 6th.
00:19:30.000 You guys could check it out at revolver.news.
00:19:33.000 And we are, can we just kind of give a macro update, Darren?
00:19:37.000 I was talking to somebody the other day, and they said, oh, come on, Charlie, are they really going to arrest people that didn't get into the Capitol?
00:19:43.000 They have.
00:19:44.000 So, Darren, can you just talk about this ring theory that they obviously started with out of the gate the indictments of people that were inside the Capitol that were vandalizing or assaulting police officers?
00:19:55.000 But we are now getting at people that were just looking at the events that were outside of the Capitol.
00:20:01.000 There are 1,200 arrests.
00:20:03.000 They don't seem to be slowing down.
00:20:04.000 They just went after Nathan Hughes in Arkansas as if he was El Chapo.
00:20:08.000 Darren, walk us through the latest on this.
00:20:11.000 Well, I mean, to take probably the most egregious example, the biggest sentencing yet for J6 defendants was Enrique Tario, the head of the Proud Boys, who I don't even think was in DC during January 6th.
00:20:28.000 In fact, he was arrested the day before under very bizarre circumstances, frankly, but that's another story.
00:20:36.000 So he wasn't even in DC, and yet he gets the biggest sentence, which is 22 years.
00:20:44.000 And then you have more minor figures like Owen Schroyer of InfoWars, who I think they're trying to put him in jail for 120 days, something like that.
00:20:57.000 But again, he was simply trespassing.
00:21:00.000 And this gets to the multiple issues that we've been covering.
00:21:03.000 One is that because you had these critical individuals that we've sort of covered who haven't been indicted and so forth, who were methodically cutting down fencing, indicating that the area was restricted.
00:21:19.000 They were cutting down that fencing in advance of the bigger crowd going over to the Capitol.
00:21:25.000 There were so many people, hundreds, actually thousands of people who unwittingly walked into this legal booby trap where they were technically trespassing, but totally under the government's discretion as to whether they want to charge them.
00:21:42.000 And all of the charges that I've seen so far regarding trespassing as such have been very, very conspicuously politically motivated, even compared to the generally politically motivated context of January 6 prosecutions.
00:22:00.000 So that's kind of a remarkable thing.
00:22:04.000 Of course, it's interesting because originally a lot of the regime media was saying about Ray Epps that, oh, he didn't go into the Capitol.
00:22:13.000 So of course there's nothing we could charge him with, but that's simply not true.
00:22:18.000 They could have charged him with trespassing easily like they did anyone else.
00:22:23.000 And more seriously, based on a documented exchange he had with one of these Proud Boys guys, basically anticipating going into the Capitol, saying, when we go in, so forth, they could have hit him with a conspiracy charge just the same way that they've done with others.
00:22:43.000 And so that's another kind of fascinating and frankly damning dimension of this.
00:22:49.000 Not only, oh, they're going after all these people for trespassing charges, but that kind of puts to lie the excuse that, oh, they couldn't go after Epps for some charge because they're going after these other people who haven't gone into the Capitol.
00:23:01.000 And in the case of both Stuart Rhodes of the Oath Keepers and Enrique Tario, as I mentioned, of the Proud Boys, two of the biggest sentences in January 6, neither of those two went into the Capitol.
00:23:17.000 With Enrique Tario not present, no weapons, 22 years in federal prison.
00:23:24.000 Contrast that, Darren, with multiple cities that are paying cash to BLM rioters as apologies, as reparations to the BLM cohort.
00:23:36.000 Talk about that.
00:23:37.000 Well, I mean, it's simply amazing.
00:23:39.000 And it speaks for itself in terms of not only the disproportionate nature of the sentencing, but really the obscenely political nature of this that gets to the underlying rot of our justice system that, you know, allows for everything that we've been seeing.
00:23:58.000 Like this is the issue right now.
00:24:01.000 It's not, you know, there's the censorship issue was relevant before and, you know, there have been other issues before.
00:24:07.000 The issue right now is the total weaponization of the justice system as such.
00:24:15.000 That's really the most meaningful story going on now because it has so many different dimensions.
00:24:20.000 Covers the Trump thing.
00:24:21.000 It covers January 6th thing.
00:24:22.000 It covers in some ways, you know, what's going on with some of the impeachments that we're seeing.
00:24:30.000 So it's really the number one, it's the number one issue.
00:24:35.000 And unless we have a fix for that, it's just going to be more of the same, unfortunately.
00:24:41.000 What fixes do you potentially recommend, Darren, or things that we could do to actually fight fire with fire?
00:24:47.000 Well, it's a great question.
00:24:49.000 I don't think there's any easy fix.
00:24:51.000 Well, just going back to the 22-year sentence, like you mentioned, the BLMs, but I mean, it wouldn't be that difficult to find instances of actual murders getting less than 22 years.
00:25:06.000 You know, I think now I've got the idea for the next revolver piece.
00:25:10.000 I want to see what kind of heinous crimes have resulted in less than a 22-year sentence, which Tario got, who didn't even go into the Capitol and did nothing violent.
00:25:19.000 But that's for another segment.
00:25:21.000 But it is, you know, really just underscores how outrageous it is.
00:25:25.000 As for what the fix is, I mean, we've spoken about this before.
00:25:29.000 We need a tit for tat.
00:25:30.000 We need to figure out where is our Fulton County?
00:25:34.000 Where is our Southern District, Eastern District of New York?
00:25:39.000 Where is our prosecution factory?
00:25:42.000 And why aren't we using it?
00:25:45.000 That's the first step.
00:25:48.000 And I'll be honest, Darren, it's because our side is weak.
00:25:52.000 They're feckless.
00:25:52.000 When I challenge them, if I was on a phone with an AG and I was just like, hey, how are things going?
00:25:57.000 Oh, we're doing great.
00:25:58.000 We're suing the Biden administration.
00:26:00.000 I was just curious, do you plan to ever criminally look into Democrats?
00:26:04.000 Oh, no, we're not going to stoop to the level of the Democrats.
00:26:08.000 That's what they tell me.
00:26:10.000 Stoop to the level of winning and controlling every institution in the country.
00:26:13.000 Imagine that.
00:26:14.000 We're not going to stoop to the level of the people who control every institution of the country.
00:26:20.000 We're going to remain on high on our perch of just perennial losers.
00:26:26.000 And speaking of which, you mentioned AG.
00:26:28.000 And this is totally in keeping with the problem that we're talking about is one of the most effective, if not the most effective AGs, Paxton, right?
00:26:39.000 Look what's happening to him.
00:26:40.000 The show trial is intentional.
00:26:42.000 They did that to isolate him to say, if you dare speak out, let's play cut 118.
00:26:47.000 Rachel, Matt, I'll look alike talking about how RICO is a double-edged sword.
00:26:50.000 Play Cut 118.
00:26:52.000 Ever since Fulton County District Attorney Fonnie Willis brought a racketeering indictment against Donald Trump and his co-defendants, we've talked a lot about Georgia's particularly expansive version of that RICO law.
00:27:02.000 It creates real legal peril for the ex-president and his conspirators, and it seems to be an appropriate tool to use against the transgression of their illegitimate and fundamentally unlawful project to overturn the election.
00:27:15.000 The very breadth of that law can be a real double-edged sword, as people in Georgia, particularly defense attorneys, will be among the first to tell you.
00:27:22.000 We got an example of that yesterday when the very same grand jury that indicted out Donald Trump also indicted 61 community activists and others, many of whom were attempting to stop the construction of a new police training facility.
00:27:34.000 Community activists.
00:27:35.000 These people forcibly and violently attacked a construction site.
00:27:40.000 And Chris says, guess what, Chris?
00:27:42.000 You're going to have to be doing a lot more spin because once we get our way and we remove these weak need Vichy French Republican AGs one by one, and I'm going to start naming their names one by one.
00:27:50.000 You know, Steve Marshall in Alabama, I've asked him, I said, hey, where are the indictments?
00:27:55.000 Why are you not looking into SPLC?
00:27:56.000 Oh, we don't do that.
00:27:57.000 We don't do that.
00:27:58.000 All right.
00:27:59.000 Well, when you run for governor, don't call me.
00:28:01.000 You know, these guys, they're really nice until you got to do something.
00:28:04.000 Eventually, RICO will be used against the Democrat Party.
00:28:07.000 The RICO will be used against the Democrat Party.
00:28:13.000 It's really something, Darren.
00:28:15.000 I don't know if you're prepared to talk about this or not, but I mean, you can riff with almost anything.
00:28:19.000 What I find interesting is the vector that they find this through.
00:28:23.000 A focus for the last six years, this is how smart and how cunning they are, the left, is they go through the South.
00:28:29.000 The South largely a Republican stronghold.
00:28:32.000 This is where the white guilt narratives, the BLM stuff, and interestingly enough, it's where we have the most DAs and AGs and we're afraid to use it.
00:28:41.000 Darren, talk about this kind of, I find the weakest Republicans in the country, the least likely to fight are south of the Mason-Dixon line.
00:28:52.000 Why is that?
00:28:54.000 Well, it's, I mean, it's, it's, uh, it's, it's Reconstruction 3.0 or 4.0 or whatever version we're on now.
00:29:03.000 But it's indeed the case that it's the Southern politicians that are the most beaten into submission and the most corrupt.
00:29:11.000 And so it's a combination of the fact that, you know, there is a kind of sociology already embedded in the South of the kind of which, you know, could be good or bad.
00:29:27.000 But when the good old boy network is kind of co-opted, then you have a multi-generational machine politics that is working to subvert the interests of the voters.
00:29:39.000 And I think you see a great example of this in South Carolina, frankly.
00:29:42.000 Maybe the best example, South Carolina, a very important state politically.
00:29:46.000 You know, it's one of the key primary states.
00:29:50.000 And look what it's produced, and that tells you all you need to know about how accurate, how painfully accurate your thesis is about how just weak and corrupt and subverted, in particular, the Southern GOP is, which is such a shame.
00:30:06.000 In contrast, that I find some of the fire breathers, some of the most amazing is I don't consider Florida to be part of the South.
00:30:14.000 They're either from Florida and amazingly from California, from New York, and from kind of that upper Midwest, right?
00:30:22.000 That kind of the Great Plains.
00:30:24.000 But there's something in the South.
00:30:25.000 I think it's just because from an, if you're a young white man in the South, you're told you are a racist.
00:30:31.000 It's like your whole life.
00:30:33.000 And you have to grow up with this kind of like ancestral guilt.
00:30:35.000 And it plays, it impacts these people.
00:30:38.000 And I mean, I'm not phased by these sort of, I think it actually deeply impacts a Southern white Republican to be called a racist.
00:30:47.000 I think it actually bothers them.
00:30:48.000 And they're like, I'm willing to do whatever.
00:30:50.000 I'm going to let Big Fanny investigate everybody.
00:30:53.000 I'm not going to touch the Southern Poverty Law Center.
00:30:56.000 It's striking, Darren.
00:30:58.000 Right.
00:30:59.000 And again, I think there's certainly that.
00:31:02.000 I think there's something to the fact that weirdly, there's more of a kind of communal way of thinking.
00:31:11.000 There are sort of the patronage networks that work in a specific way, a kind of orientation toward a specific type of machine politics, which when corrupted and subverted, is very hard to correct and untangle.
00:31:28.000 And that's what I think you see in the South because it's really amazing.
00:31:33.000 Can we name a single like really good GOP politician from the South?
00:31:40.000 I can't.
00:31:42.000 And I can think of several atrocious ones.
00:31:47.000 So this really is, you know, it's unfortunate, but part of it is we just need to really put the magnifying glass on these people, put the magnifying glass on the AGs, serve it up to them on a silver platter.
00:31:59.000 Don't make them come up with the idea.
00:32:01.000 It's exactly what you said.
00:32:02.000 Here's your indictment for the Southern Poverty Law Center.
00:32:06.000 Are you going to do it or not?
00:32:07.000 Well, I mean, I've already done this, Darren.
00:32:09.000 The more easy one is BLM.
00:32:11.000 BLM raised money from all 50 states, and they obviously defraud their donors for charitable fraud.
00:32:17.000 Why is not a single AG or DA indicting them?
00:32:20.000 Darren Beattie, we got an email here.
00:32:21.000 We got to go.
00:32:22.000 They said, Charlie, do you have any good news from our side of people that are pushing back on lawfare?
00:32:26.000 No.
00:32:27.000 That's the answer.
00:32:28.000 Darren, great work.
00:32:29.000 Revolver.news.
00:32:30.000 Thank you.
00:32:31.000 Thank you.
00:32:32.000 No, it's just the way it is.
00:32:34.000 We don't have a single person that is in elected office that is an AG or that is a DA that is doing a shred of what the Democrats are doing to us.
00:32:43.000 We should not rejoice in using political power.
00:32:46.000 But if your back is against the wall and you are getting bent over and you are getting destroyed every single day, what are you going to do?
00:32:55.000 It's not just civil lawsuits.
00:32:57.000 It's not just civil lawsuits, criminal indictments, but our side would rather lose.
00:33:03.000 That's where we are.
00:33:07.000 Thanks so much for listening, everybody.
