00:00:51.000His 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.
00:00:59.000We will not embrace the ideas that have destroyed countries.
00:01:03.000Destroyed lives, and we are going to fight for freedom on campuses across the country.
00:01:22.000By strongly worded op eds, tweets, maybe a hearing or two.
00:01:27.000How should Republicans respond to Fulton County?
00:01:30.000I write in thefederalist.com, indict the left when politicians are tempted to prosecute their enemies for political reasons.
00:01:37.000They must fear the same thing happening to them.
00:01:40.000There are 27 Republican attorneys general in the United States compared to 23 Democrats, but you wouldn't know.
00:01:46.000Today, all the celebrity prosecutors are Democrats.
00:01:49.000The left has an entire cast of politicians who make their careers by loudly hunting down supposed wrongdoers using whatever excuse they can manufacture.
00:02:00.000So here is the dilemma the dilemma is do we return fire with fire?
00:02:10.000The Michigan Attorney General has indicted 16 senior citizens.
00:02:16.000One in particular, by the name Rose Rook, Dana Nessel, believes that this person, Rose Rook, 81 year old Rose Rook, is a threat to our country, an insurrectionist.
00:02:46.000That's Rose Rook, who is facing dozens of years in prison, 81 year old patriot.
00:02:52.000For signing a piece of paper, a constitutional right to be an alternate elector, Dana Nessel is now making her have to defend herself criminally.
00:05:06.000And from chatting with, and I'm not going to say their names because I'm going to hope that they course correct, because I was just asking questions.
00:05:15.000My constitutional right as a citizen to ask people in elected office questions.
00:05:21.000I said, they are coming after all of us.
00:05:24.000They're coming after the rank and file, they're coming after Donald Trump.
00:05:29.000And yet these are sweet people, but there's no plan, there's no willingness to act.
00:05:40.000In The Federalist, I wrote The cabal of prosecutors has existed for a while.
00:05:45.000In New York, for instance, the Attorney General's office has spent years neutering the NRA with a legal offensive meant to shut it down or at least entirely disable it as a national political force, an offensive that has mostly succeeded.
00:05:58.000Republicans have done no such thing because we don't fight that way.
00:08:09.000You're the state's top law enforcement officer.
00:08:12.000If you are not able to prosecute it, then find a local DA where the crime was committed and then they can prosecute it.
00:08:20.000You have Fannie Willis, who has 18 people indicted that are going to have to spend hundreds of thousands of dollars to defend themselves.
00:08:28.000Each on a RICO case, minimum five year sentence for watching cable television and sending out tweets and things that happened in Pennsylvania.
00:08:38.000Fannie Willis, a local DA, is prosecuting a national conspiracy case, ruining the lives of literally half the conservative movement Mark Meadows, Rudy Giuliani, Jenna Ellis, John Eastman, Donald Trump.
00:11:02.000Front page of The New York Times The 19 charged in Georgia.
00:11:06.000This is the front page of The New York Times.
00:11:09.000Rudy Giuliani, Mark Meadows, John Eastman, Jenna Ellis, Ray Smith, Kathy Latham, Sidney Powell, David Schaefer, Kenneth Chesborough, Sean Still, Michael Roman, Trevian Cootie, Stephen Lee, Jeffrey Clark, Misty Hampton, Willie Lewis, the Ford III, Scott Hall, and Robert Cheely.
00:11:26.000This is why I don't like the lawyers that go on television.
00:11:31.000The lawyers that go on television say, oh, well, you know, these charges will probably be thrown out or overturned.
00:11:38.000Yeah, it's easy for you to say, you guys actually benefit from this.
00:11:41.000Number one, you get on TV and you get to talk about it all the time.
00:11:44.000Number two, some of you guys are going to be hired to represent these people, so you're going to make money.
00:11:49.000And so they also have way too much trust in the legal system.
00:11:53.000Who's going to pay these people's legal bills?
00:14:09.000And we're supposed to act like this is legitimate.
00:14:11.000Asking for a phone number of your elected official can now get you indicted in Fulton County.
00:14:20.000You might get picked up on a RICO case if you ask for a phone number, if you want to petition your government.
00:14:26.000And the New York Times thinks this is beautiful.
00:14:30.000If you're a conservative, not if you're a Democrat, if a Democrat, it's called petitioning your government and fighting for your democracy.
00:14:36.000No, no, Democrats are allowed to burn down federal courthouses.
00:14:41.000The number one takeaway of this indictment is the chilling effect.
00:14:46.000Just kind of taking the pulse from donors and other people, they have flat out frightened half the country with this stuff.
00:14:54.000This indictment, even more than the Department of Justice stuff, because of how widespread it is, the RICO.
00:15:00.000And you might say, well, Charlie, it's all fake and they're not going to go.
00:15:13.000The conservative movement is terrified.
00:15:16.000People want to just go to their kids' baseball game and not have to worry if a DA is going to come and they have to defend themselves and their reputation because they ask for a phone number.
00:15:23.000So people are disengaging in huge numbers.
00:15:26.000And look what they're doing in Michigan with Dana Nessel.
00:15:28.000You sign a piece of paper and you're Rose Rook, you're 81 years old, and you're a proud patriot, they're going to destroy your life.
00:15:35.000This is a well thought out intentional demoralization chilling campaign more than anything else.
00:15:42.000Because I think deep down, Fannie Willis or Fannie or whatever says, okay, yeah, this might get thrown out, but I'm going to scare the crap out of the entire conservative movement, slow down their activism, shut up their speech.
00:16:46.000So, I just have a question What are the new rules?
00:16:49.000Because talking to some other conservative leaders, people say, Well, now we have to be extra careful.
00:16:52.000I don't think we could talk to our lawmakers.
00:16:54.000In the indictment, in the Fulton County indictment, which I have here somewhere.
00:16:58.000Part of the indictment of furthering the criminal conspiracy is when Donald Trump asked for a phone number of the Speaker of the House of Pennsylvania.
00:17:05.000You are no longer allowed to talk to your leaders, according to Fannie Willis.
00:17:09.000Now, of course, that's going to be thrown out maybe by some judge, most likely, or challenged in court.
00:17:41.000They've used this is what's interesting.
00:17:43.000They're actually using Trump as an excuse to go after the other ones, to go after Giuliani Eastman, Jenna Ellis, Sidney Powell.
00:17:52.000Now, Axios says this Overt acts are not standalone allegations of criminality, and Trump was not charged for simply tweeting.
00:17:58.000Rather, the legal term refers to a pattern of behavior supporting a broader criminal enterprise.
00:18:04.000In this case, an alleged seven state conspiracy by 19 defendants and 30 unindicted co conspirators.
00:18:10.000The indictment alleges that in some, Trump's 12 tweets, as well as his phone calls, text messages, and other activity by him and his allies, comprised elements of a conspiracy to subvert the election by people who knowingly spread election lies.
00:18:32.000The term conspiracy means one or two people.
00:18:36.000Working together for a desired aim or objective.
00:18:39.000The conspiracy was asking lawmakers to follow the Constitution.
00:18:43.000That now can land you in prison for a RICO statute.
00:18:47.000We used to call that political activism.
00:18:50.000Are you going to go lock up all the Democrat activists that were petitioning lawmakers in the 2000 election in Florida with the hanging Chads and the recounts?
00:19:00.000That could land you in jail or prison.
00:19:03.000How about Stacey Abrams, who 30 times denied the election results?
00:19:07.000No, of course, Democrats do not have the law applied to them.
00:19:12.000People call it two standards of justice.
00:19:13.000It's not about hypocrisy, it's hierarchy.
00:19:16.000If you believe that men can give birth and borders should be open and support Ukraine at all costs and white people are racist, if you believe America's a terrible country, you're a protected class.
00:19:28.000You can loot, you could burn, you could steal.
00:19:30.000Your politics now instruct whether or not you're going to go to jail or not.
00:19:34.000But if you engage in wrong think, like Rudy Giuliani or John Eastman or Mark Meadows, they're going to put you in prison.
00:19:40.000It is the misapplication of justice as Cicero would say the more laws, the less justice.
00:19:44.000They have all these laws, they dust them up, and they try to find that the only way this stops is if the bad guys are afraid that they too will be investigated and held accountable, because there's plenty of crimes to look into over there.
00:19:56.000The great one, Mark Levin, picked up my article and spoke about it.
00:20:01.000Now, I have so much respect for Mark Levin, and I do call him the great one.
00:21:07.000And he's talking about also Republican district attorneys or state prosecutors and so forth.
00:21:13.000And he's saying, he's not a lawyer, he's saying, as an example, Hunter Biden hired a call girl service.
00:21:21.000In more than one state, that these call girls were used in more than one state, drug addict or no drug addict, he purchased drugs illegally in more than one state.
00:21:34.000And he's not charged with a damn thing by a single Republican prosecutor.
00:23:29.000And to petition the government for a redress of grievances.
00:23:34.000So, when I go and I, and by the way, I was just asking questions, but theoretically, if I saw an AG in my state and I said, Hey, I got a problem with you, pal.
00:23:43.000It's like the old Seinfeld thing on Festivus.
00:23:46.000I got a lot of problems with you people.
00:24:38.000Just so that we're clear and that we're not totally living in a different alternate universe, you're still allowed to watch cable television that the government doesn't like.
00:24:50.000And what bothers me the most about some, not Alan Dershowitz, who I think has been great, but some of these legal quacks on television, oh, yeah, he's so esteemed, is they're taking this thug seriously.
00:25:04.000Oh, well, Fannie Willis has put together, don't reject the premise.
00:25:25.000Okay, if Donald Trump was telling his supporters to go take baseball bats and smash voting machines, okay, I'd have a little bit of open mindedness towards that.
00:25:35.000If Donald Trump was doing what Molly Ball said the Democrats were doing, having weekly Zoom calls that would say that we have shock troops.
00:25:50.000Do you know that, did you know Florida Democrats were planning on submitting a slate of alternate electors in 2000 should their legal challenges have been successful?
00:25:58.000This is what happened in Tilbin v. Hayes in 1871.
00:26:02.000Lawrence Tribe, who's now a leader of the resistance, has suggested the same strategy.
00:26:08.000This was the established legal process for challenging election results before 2023 when Democrats decided to make it illegal retroactively.
00:26:17.000You're allowed to air grievances against your leaders.
00:28:07.000Whatever spiritual disciplines you align with, you better make that a priority, or else this is going to severely depress you and disappoint you.
00:28:16.000That has to matter more than everything else.
00:28:19.000Time magazine writes their work touched every aspect of the election, writing about Democrats.
00:28:24.000They got states to change voting systems and laws and help secure hundreds of millions of dollars in public and private funding.
00:28:31.000They fended off voter suppression lawsuits, recruited armies of poll workers, and got millions of people to vote by mail for the first time.
00:28:37.000They successfully pressured social media companies to take a harder line against disinformation and use data driven strategies to fight viral smears.
00:28:44.000They executed national public awareness campaigns that helped Americans understand how to vote, how the vote count would unfold over days or weeks, preventing Trump's conspiracy theories and false claims of victory from getting more traction.
00:28:57.000After Election Day, they monitored every pressure point to ensure that Trump could not overturn the result.
00:29:04.000Quote The untold story of the election is that thousands of people of both parties who accomplished the triumph of American democracy at its very Foundation, Norm Eisen said.
00:30:50.000They like Republicans that listen, that are submissive.
00:30:53.000They want a submissive Republican Party.
00:30:54.000If they can't get rid of half the country, they want a submissive and weak Republican Party that listens to their orders, that is terrified of their masters, the Democrats.
00:31:10.000I want to play another piece of tape here that I think is instructive, what we're dealing with.
00:31:17.000We played this yesterday, it's worth repeating.
00:31:18.000We have Newt Gingrich coming on the program tomorrow.
00:31:21.000When Newt Gingrich, a master historian, a very careful communicator, not an alarmist, not a guy that says things to get headlines, when he says something like this, it should create a pit in your stomach.
00:32:12.000So we're being ruled by a minority, an unbelievably well financed, oligarch supported minority.
00:32:18.000And they are willing and they are able.
00:32:20.000Because they have the media and the tech companies and the billionaires, they feel as if they can act and do whatever they want.
00:32:27.000The excuse I get from Republicans, and we just had an email here Charlie, if we go after Democrats, that would not be the gentleman thing to do.
00:32:36.000Well, then you're going to lose everything, nobly, of course.
