Sean Davis joins the show to talk about Adam Schiff, the leaking, the intel agency, and also a woman throws a Subway sandwich at a federal agent. We then have the Acting U.S. Attorney in Central California, Bill Asaley, joins us. And a chart that is chilling.
00:00:00.000Hey everybody, Charlie Kirk here live from the Bitcoin.com studio.
00:00:04.000Sean Davis joins the show to talk about Adam Schiff, the leaking, the intel agency, and also a fairy throws a subway sandwich at a federal agent.
00:00:12.000We then have the acting U.S. Attorney in Central California, Bill Asaley, joins us.
00:00:52.000We will not embrace the ideas that have destroyed countries, destroyed lives, and we are going to fight for freedom on campuses across the country.
00:01:04.000Email us as always, freedom at charliekirk.com.
00:01:07.000Joining us now is Sean Davis from The Federalist.
00:01:10.000So, Sean, we got a renewed investigation into Comey leaking in 2017.
00:01:14.000We have Tulsi exposing Clapper for cutting corners in 2017 and a DNI report admitting it after the NSA director warned he wasn't comfortable with the intel.
00:01:25.000And do you think we'll actually see indictments?
00:01:27.000Yeah, so I think the most important thing about all these new releases, and there have been a ton within the last couple of weeks.
00:01:33.000Some of them was more flesh on the bones of information we already had.
00:01:38.000Some of it was really, really new, but they all tell the exact same story.
00:01:42.000And that story is that after Donald Trump won the election in 2016, there was an orchestrated, deliberate, widespread conspiracy within the Obama administration that continued for years to basically overthrow Donald Trump, overthrow the presidency, initiate a coup against the government.
00:02:00.000And it was all done based on lies by people who knew they were lying, by people who knew they were leaking.
00:02:07.000And every single new release that comes out just shows us more facts about why that was the case.
00:02:12.000So do you think then an indictment is likely?
00:02:16.000I mean, what chatter are we seeing from the Department of Justice?
00:02:20.000Yeah, it's hard to say because so much of this stuff is cloaked in grand jury secrecy.
00:02:25.000Having watched this stuff, you know, for eight, nine, 10 years now, having watched and covered the whole John Durham investigation, which didn't turn to much, I've gotten, I think, a fairly decent sense of kind of like the rhythms and where I think things are going.
00:02:39.000It seems to me that this administration is dead serious about holding people accountable for their criminal conspiracies.
00:02:45.000And I see a couple different possible charges.
00:02:48.000One would just be a conspiracy against rights under color of law.
00:02:53.000Another could be a conspiracy to defraud the U.S. I think there are some people who are still at jeopardy for having made false statements to Congress or federal investigators.
00:03:03.000But what's interesting is that if you look at this whole thing as a conspiracy, each new overt act in furtherance of that conspiracy, whether it's lying or leaking or trying to obstruct justice or trying to tamper with witnesses, that tolls the statute of limitations and basically starts it over.
00:03:19.000So the conspiracy charge is really what I would expect to see if we do eventually see indictments here.
00:03:25.000So let's play some pieces of tape here.
00:03:27.000This is Adam Schiff about the Adam Schiff deal here.
00:03:55.000A Democrat whistleblower repeatedly was warning the FBI beginning in 2017 that the congenital liar Adam Schiff had authorized leaking classified information to smear President Trump, which, by the way, could be a violation of the Espionage Act.
00:04:12.000So is that a violation of the Espionage Act?
00:04:16.000Wouldn't we start to need to see these indictments move in pretty quickly?
00:04:19.000Yeah, I'm not sure it would qualify as an Espionage Act.
00:04:23.000I think it probably could be a conspiracy to violate classified information rules.
00:04:29.000You know, we reported Based on an IG report that came out in 2024, that there was this whistleblower there.
00:04:34.000But what we didn't know until there were these documents out was how much detail the FBI had been given about a wide-ranging conspiracy with specific allegations, with specific names and times and places that the FBI had.
00:04:48.000And instead of fully investigating and prosecuting that when they were given the information, the FBI instead lawlessly, based on nonsense from Democrat staffers on the same committee, went and spied on Republican staffers in both the House and the Senate for years and then tried to cover it up.
00:05:06.000So it's just fascinating to see what the previous FBI investigated and didn't.
00:05:12.000As far as timing, I don't expect anything particularly quickly.
00:05:18.000This DOJ, I think, is looking at things differently than past DOJs, where they're trying to learn all the documentary facts and evidence, which takes time because they have to go through the mounds of documents that were hidden from them for years.
00:05:28.000They have to interview low-level witnesses and learn what they can say about the documentary picture.
00:05:34.000And then they'll eventually have to bring in the big dogs and interview them.
00:05:37.000So I would expect a multi-month process, maybe even a year-long process, before we really get to the point of indictments.
00:05:44.000So, Sean, your commentary here is terrific.
00:06:02.000And this is during the transition at Trump Tower.
00:06:05.000The framing and the timing is important here.
00:06:07.000The newly declassified top secret emails showed that complying with President Trump's order to create the manufactured 2017 ICA about Russia expose how DNI James Clapper demanded the intelligence community fall in line behind the Russia hoax.
00:06:28.000Clapper admits that it was a team sport that required compromise on our normal modalities.
00:06:45.000They were cutting corners and they were doing it all in furtherance of a narrative which they knew to be false.
00:06:51.000And bravo to Tulsi Gabbard for finding this information and getting it out there because we've suspected it for a long time.
00:06:58.000We knew that Brennan cooked the books when it came to the ICA.
00:07:01.000We knew that he was putting in garbage, so-called evidence, that he was the one who put in the steel dossier because, quote, it rings true, doesn't it?
00:07:11.000He's the one who lied to Congress about whether it was in the ICA.
00:07:14.000But now we have information about Clapper himself basically trying to hijack the process to get to a particular endpoint, not based on the evidence, but based on what he had been ordered to do and what he wanted to do.
00:07:27.000And we now know exactly, by the way, why Clapper and Brennan were calling for NSA director Mike Rogers to be fired in late 2016.
00:07:36.000And it's because, based on these emails, we now know that he was, although he eventually signed on to the sham process, that he was highly skeptical of what they were doing and that his analysts didn't actually believe that the evidence that these people were using was sufficient to support the claims they were making.
00:07:52.000And Clapper says the timeline is non-negotiable.
00:07:54.000So to put this into kind of just, you know, to distill it down to the essence for people that might be, it's very hard to follow, right?
00:08:02.000We need like charts and we need like a Glenn Beck chart here, right?
00:08:04.000You need like a big whiteboard because it's all over the place.
00:08:07.000Basically, it was a, hey, either you're on the train or you're on the tracks.
00:08:13.000The president, which was Obama, gave the orders to resurrect Russia as the primary thing that will then use to be a subversion exercise of the incoming President Donald Trump.
00:08:26.000Your thoughts, Sean Davis, then I want to go a step deeper.
00:08:29.000Yeah, so the timing was critical because all of this had to be set in motion before Trump took office.
00:08:34.000So recall that in early December, they pulled a presidential daily briefing that said Russia's cyber activities weren't meant to elect Trump.
00:08:43.000And if they had been, they weren't effective at all.
00:08:46.000That was pulled, at which point they went into this new ICA process, which later became the foundation of the entire Russia collusion hoax.
00:08:54.000We focused a lot on collusion itself, but without the baseless claims in the ICA that Russia wanted Trump to win and that interfered for him to win.
00:09:02.000None of the collusion claims would have been possible.
00:09:04.000So they had to basically set this timed detonation device in motion before Trump took office so that it could explode once they were gone and then they wouldn't be around to have to deal with the fallout.
00:09:17.000Yeah, and so what we're searching for right now is the clip, and you might remember it, where as a context to this, this shows that there was a gang of people that were aware of this.
00:09:26.000And in a kind of vulnerable moment, Chuck Schumer went on Rachel Maddow's show in early January of 2017, just weeks before the president took the oath of office the first time.
00:09:38.000And Chuck Schumer, in a rare, vulnerable moment, was obviously angry because remember, Donald Trump was getting whispers about this.
00:10:38.000Without the intelligence community, we wouldn't have discovered it.
00:10:42.000Do you think he has an agenda to try to dismantle parts of the intelligence community?
00:10:45.000I mean, this form of whether you're a super liberal Democrat or a very conservative Republican, you should be against dismantling the intelligence community.
00:10:55.000And you got a little nose touch at the end, a little like, ah, you know, that clip right there is that that is a masterclass what was happening.
00:11:03.000Number one, he does a threat shot across the bow.
00:11:06.000You better be careful, President Trump.
00:11:08.000Number two, he interjects the Russia thing.
00:11:10.000Oh, you know, if it wasn't for the intel community, we wouldn't know about Russia.
00:11:14.000And the third component is basically we work for the Intel agencies.
00:11:19.000That's basically what Chuck Schumer, who was a representative of the Article I legislative branch, basically like, you better not touch them.
00:11:35.000We saw it during the Russia collusion hoax.
00:11:36.000We saw it during the Ukraine impeachment hoax.
00:11:39.000Recall, the Intel community cooked up a complaint against Trump that he wasn't listening to them, and they used that as the basis to try to impeach him.
00:11:46.000So yeah, Chuck Schumer in that clip laid out the entire game.
00:11:50.000You work for them, they call the shots, and if you at any point think you're in charge, they'll take you out.
00:12:42.000If you have distressed or defaulted private student loans, they can get you out of debt.
00:12:47.000So if you know anybody in your life that might have student loan problems, private student loan problems, check it out right now at yrefi.com.
00:13:18.000Yeah, the sassy sub-chucker, as I believe he is now known, is a 37-year-old international affairs specialist, a non-attorney who was hired in 2022 by the Biden administration at the Department of Justice.
00:13:45.000So someone who works for the DOJ is throwing objects and breaking federal laws against federal law enforcement.
00:13:52.000Apparently, and there's some more hilarious connections here.
00:13:56.000It's bad enough that he works for DOJ and was assaulting federal officers.
00:14:02.000But according to court records that we looked at, his attorney is something of a famous criminal defense attorney.
00:14:08.000Her name is Sabrina Schroff, who is known for having represented Billy McFarland, who was the Firefest huckster, who also got in trouble for throwing out some filthy sandwiches to concertgoers at Firefest.
00:14:27.000So look, the left has gotten used to the idea that they can get paid a lifelong salary to be a political operative on a tax paradigm and never face any consequences.
00:14:36.000And so look, of course, this guy should go to jail.
00:15:12.000But the federal government is full of people like this.
00:15:16.000And it's actually why they all freaked out when Trump went and shut down USAID, this gajillion dollar, massive industrial complex, which seemed to only be used to fund the left.
00:15:26.000This is what they do, whether it's through Sue and Settle, whether it's through NGOs that survive entirely on taxpayer money, or whether it's through the permanent bureaucracy with people like this.
00:15:37.000This is how they control the government.
00:15:38.000And this is how they're able to get paid to do their activism under the color of just normal federal service.
00:15:45.000And quite honestly, it's no wonder that conservatives and Republicans have such a hard time implementing their agenda because at every single step on every floor of every building, they have people like this subverting the agenda while pretending to just be nonpartisan, objective civil servants.
00:16:56.000Yeah, well, a big problem here is you've got a bazillion different employees.
00:17:01.000It's hard to know who all the bad ones are.
00:17:03.000You've got to have good people in place at the political level to fix this.
00:17:07.000And the Senate so far has only confirmed 100-something of Trump's political nominees.
00:17:11.000There's still hundreds waiting to be confirmed, waiting to take their jobs in these agencies.
00:17:17.000And you just can't expect one person at the top to go in and be able to know where all the bodies are buried and who all the extra weight is to get rid of it.
00:17:26.000You've got to have your full team in place.
00:17:28.000And for reasons that I just don't understand, the Senate's being allowed to just obstruct and dicker around and prevent Trump from getting his full team in place, which leads to this type of nonsense.
00:17:55.000I'm excited to share something that's especially close to my heart, the people of Israel.
00:17:59.000The Bible teaches Us that in a world of broken promises, one covenant remains unshakable: God's eternal promise, his unwavering commitment to Israel, his beloved people.
00:18:10.000And now, more than ever, God is calling Christians everywhere to support Israel, to be a living testimony that his promises endure forever.
00:18:17.000I've chosen to partner with the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews as one way to align myself with God's eternal plan.
00:18:24.000For over 40 years, this wonderful ministry has faithfully provided nutritious food, care, and life-saving aid to Israel's most vulnerable, the poor and the elderly, many of whom are Holocaust survivors.
00:18:34.000And when crises strike, like rocket attacks or urgent humanitarian needs, IFCJ is already on the ground responding with compassion and support.
00:18:42.000Join me in standing for Israel and declaring God's faithfulness to all generations.
00:18:46.000To learn more and to find out how you can help, visit ifcj.org.
00:19:28.000And since I've gotten here in April, we have taken on a huge initiative here.
00:19:32.000I would say the first thing I've made a priority is going after this homelessness fraud that happens here in the state of California.
00:19:38.000We've had $24 billion spent over five years, and it's only gotten worse.
00:19:43.000And there's a lot of people who've seen and been enriched off that.
00:19:46.000So we have open investigations into that.
00:19:48.000And I think you'll be seeing some of the fruits of that here very soon.
00:19:52.000We are going after sanctuary cities and jurisdictions.
00:19:54.000We have Operation Guardian Angel, where we are getting warrants for criminals in state custody, and they are required to hand them over to us, which they are not required to comply with the detainer, but they have to comply with a warrant.
00:20:08.000Just yesterday at 5 a.m., we did a takedown of the Hoover street gang in LA in the Figueroa Corridor, which is one of the worst sex trafficking corridors probably in the world.
00:20:38.000That's the work that the Department of Justice is doing to clean up our communities where the prior administration was busy weaponizing the department.
00:20:46.000We're out there making the American people safer.
00:21:21.000Where they are fighting us, Charlie, is on the immigration enforcement.
00:21:24.000We are having our Border Patrol and ICE.
00:21:26.000They're going out every day arresting hundreds of illegal immigrants, criminal legal immigrants, and they are fighting us tooth and nail on that.
00:21:32.000They're sending out these thugs to resist our agents, and we are charging people.
00:21:37.000I filed over 53 cases for assaults and interference with our agents.
00:21:41.000And that's where they're focusing their opposition.
00:21:44.000Yeah, and so what is your status in front of the U.S. Senate?
00:21:52.000My status in front of the U.S. Senate is I have no status.
00:21:57.000I've never been nominated to the Senate because the senators here, Alex Badilla and Adam Schiff, have refused to even, my understanding, is meet with the White House or have discussions with the White House.
00:22:10.000So I was appointed by the Attorney General as the interim U.S. Attorney, which gave me the ability to serve in that position for 120 days.
00:22:18.000At the end of that 120 days, the judges had the opportunity to make me the permanent U.S. attorney.
00:22:24.000They declined to do so here, which is unsurprising.
00:22:28.000But they did not name a replacement, Like, unlike what they tried to do at Lena Haba there to impose their own prosecutor, they just did nothing in this district.
00:22:37.000So, because of that, I am now what's called the acting U.S. attorney.
00:22:41.000I am a DOJ employee, and I'm the top DOJ employee in the office.
00:22:45.000So, that effectively makes me the acting U.S. attorney here.
00:22:49.000And that's our workaround right now because my understanding is there is no appetite in the United States Senate to modify the blue slip process, which allows Democrat senators like Adam Schiff and Alex Badilla to have a veto over the president's appointees.
00:23:07.000It makes zero sense to have this process.
00:23:10.000We spoke out against the blue slip, and Chuck Grassley is the kind of one overseeing it.
00:23:14.000Just so we are clear, you're doing a great job, but you will not be able to be a permanent U.S. attorney as long as a Democrat vetoes you.
00:23:20.000So, basically, we win an election, and then we don't get to have our U.S. attorneys, even though we voted for secure border going on cartels, because you have a couple U.S. senators of a non-constitutional, purely procedural gentleman's club, where they say, oh, you know, we're going to be able to kind of get in the way of this.
00:23:37.000It will not allow us to get President Trump's people in Oregon, in Washington, in California, in Arizona, in Georgia, in New Jersey, in New York, in Massachusetts, and in Maine.
00:23:48.000Well, Maine, we have Susan Collins, but still Angus King get in the way of it.
00:23:51.000Those blues support supporters, they need to get a pink slip, basically, we said.
00:23:55.000So, so walk us through what are the other issues that we are fighting here that you are fighting firsthand in California, and how present is the cartel activity?
00:24:08.000And, real quick on the blue slip thing, Charlie, it's not just U.S. attorneys.
00:24:13.000When you look at all the judges who are issuing TROs or injunctions, we had a judge issue a TRO against our border patrol agents here because they don't want them to do the immigration enforcement.
00:24:23.000All those judges are basically they have to go through the senators.
00:24:26.000The senators, through this blue slip tradition, it's really a tradition, it's not a law or anything.
00:24:31.000It allows them to be the kings of their states.
00:24:33.000So, these Democrat senators walk around like they're kingmakers.
00:24:36.000They pick the U.S. attorneys, they pick the judges, they run the place.
00:24:40.000And what I've seen does not happen in the reverse, Charlie.
00:24:43.000And in Republican states, Republicans don't exercise their power that way.
00:26:53.000And we're just going to make it very clear that we don't like you.
00:26:56.000The thing that would cross them into the criminal Territory is if they took actions to actually impede or interfere with our ability to do our job.
00:27:08.000And Charlie, if I could say, first of all, I'm not going to talk about any investigations that we may or may not have, but this to me is a problem that is easily remedied by Congress.
00:27:19.000Sanctuary cities have been challenged in the courts.
00:27:22.000And what the courts have said is that states do not have to use their state resources to help the federal government.
00:27:29.000Now, what Congress could very easily do is say, fine, you're not going to get a penny from the federal government unless you get rid of your sanctuary policies.
00:27:37.000This is how we regulate highway speeds.
00:27:40.000That's why we have speed limits in every state.
00:27:42.000This is why we have a drinking age of 21 in every state.
00:27:45.000That is how the federal government compels states to do things.
00:29:05.000I'm not a big chart guy because they could be very deceiving.
00:29:08.000But every so often you find a chart that is a perfect depiction of what not just is reality, but something that you've been trying to put into words.
00:29:18.000President Donald Trump, of course, loved a chart.
00:30:28.000Interesting to start to see the chart drop at 1990.
00:30:31.000We had the invasion of Iraq and the signing, of course, of the 1990 Immigration Act, where we went from 0.5 million green cards to 1.2 million.
00:30:57.000I believe President Trump can and will.
00:30:59.000Mass deportations, stop the H-1B scam, dramatically reduce legal immigration, end chain migration and the visa lottery, build 10 million homes immediately for Americans and crush the college cartel and make it easier for you to be a plumber, electrician, a welder, a pipe fitter.
00:31:15.000Do you want to save a generation and stop Mom Donnie and Maggioni?
00:31:23.000It's harder than ever for young people to be able to find a mate that is not either incredibly, let's just Say unappealing or lesbian or gay.
00:31:33.000It's just the whole generation, the whole dating pool is all disordered and messed up.
00:31:38.000Trust me, I hear about that all the time.
00:31:40.000That's a very good topic that we should talk about, Morris.
00:31:42.000Why are young people not getting married?
00:31:44.000Why are fertility rates collapsing the way they are?
00:31:47.000But you have a choice, and we talked about this choice yesterday.
00:31:50.000And I'll keep that chart up just for a second.
00:32:15.000I'm working on a longer form thesis as to why homeownership is so important.
00:32:22.000An argument that someone made to me recently of someone I really respect, who was a private discussion, he said, but renting is the new way.
00:32:41.000Wouldn't it be better to have a bed come out of the ceiling and your toilet come out of the wall and you could invest that extra money in a 401k or a stock portfolio?
00:32:52.000While that all sounds good, is efficiency really the thing that we're aiming towards?
00:32:57.000I think there's something uniquely American as saying this is my land, this is my property.
00:33:02.000And those of us that are homeowners, you know that something happened to you as soon as you bought a home.
