00:00:40.000 Here we go.
00:00:41.000 Charlie, what you've done is incredible here.
00:00:43.000 Maybe Charlie Kirk is on the college campus.
00:00:45.000 I want you to know we are lucky to have Charlie Kirk.
00:00:48.000 Charlie Kirk's running the White House, folks.
00:00:52.000 I want to thank Charlie.
00:00:53.000 He's an incredible guy.
00:00:54.000 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.
00:01:02.000 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.
00:01:11.000 That's why we are here.
00:01:14.000 Brought to you by the Loan Experts I Trust, Andrew and Todd at Sierra Pacific Mortgage at AndrewandTodd.com.
00:01:23.000 You probably saw the news yesterday.
00:01:25.000 Reports from the Washington Post show that the Department of Justice says they have enough evidence to indict Hunter Biden on tax and gun charges.
00:01:35.000 I had multiple people text me this story.
00:01:38.000 In fact, I had some people message me at very high levels in media, including some office holders, saying, finally, justice.
00:01:48.000 And I texted back and I said, how could you be so naive?
00:01:52.000 That is not what is happening here.
00:01:55.000 Justice?
00:01:56.000 You think the FBI all of a sudden is waking up to be an institution of fidelity, bravery, and integrity, what the FBI is supposed to stand for?
00:02:05.000 You think all of a sudden the FBI and the Department of Justice says, oh, yeah, you know, we got to get ourselves in line here.
00:02:09.000 No, no, no.
00:02:10.000 It's very clear what's happening.
00:02:11.000 And we have been ahead of the curve on this program, predicting to a T with the timeline of what exactly is happening with Hunter Biden, exactly what is happening with Joe Biden.
00:02:22.000 I'm going to walk you through all of this because this is not about Hunter Biden.
00:02:27.000 And for every conservative out there that is celebrating this news, be very careful.
00:02:33.000 This is not great news.
00:02:35.000 It's predictable news, but we're going to walk through very concrete steps of the misdirection that is happening with this alleged announcement.
00:02:44.000 But first, let's just make sure we know kind of what we're talking about here.
00:02:47.000 Laura Ingram cut 125 on how the FBI may be bringing tax and gun charges against Hunter Biden.
00:02:53.000 125.
00:02:54.000 Federal agents now believe they have enough evidence to charge Hunter Biden with tax crimes and for making a false statement regarding a gun purchase.
00:03:02.000 Sources telling Fox News the decision is now in the hands of the U.S. Attorney in Delaware.
00:03:07.000 It's a Trump holdover named David Weiss.
00:03:09.000 So I've had several conservatives and people emailing us freedom at charliekirk.com saying, yes, this is a great day.
00:03:16.000 Hunter Biden is finally going to receive justice.
00:03:21.000 That Hunter Biden is finally going to be held accountable.
00:03:24.000 Don't fall for this.
00:03:26.000 I'm going to tell you exactly what is really going on here.
00:03:29.000 You see, the regime media and many people in the center right have completely missed the mark on this.
00:03:35.000 Like, oh, wow, this is going to be a big investigation.
00:03:38.000 Okay, hold on.
00:03:39.000 You have to understand that Hunter Biden would not even be seriously or meaningfully investigated if it was not, if Joe Biden's approval ratings were above 55 or 60 percent.
00:03:55.000 Joe Biden is becoming a very serious anchor and impediment to the regime's takeover of America.
00:04:04.000 Joe Biden being so deeply unpopular, there are people clamoring within the government, remember the true sovereign in our country, that kind of middle band that are saying, we got to get rid of this guy.
00:04:16.000 Joe Biden is no longer helpful to our aims and our ambitions.
00:04:21.000 Number one, what is this?
00:04:23.000 This is an attempt to try to make the FBI look cleaner ahead of the midterms.
00:04:30.000 They leaked this.
00:04:31.000 They didn't indict for a reason.
00:04:33.000 And I believe the indictment will come after the midterms in November and December.
00:04:37.000 This is not an indictment.
00:04:38.000 This is a leak.
00:04:38.000 They leaked it intentionally to try to clean up the appearance of the FBI to try and stop the conservative line of attack politically against the FBI right now in a consequential October.
00:04:52.000 So this is an indictment without an indictment leaking to the Washington Post saying an indictment is likely, but the indictment will not happen before the midterms.
00:05:00.000 I almost guarantee you that.
00:05:02.000 They don't want to have election interference, but so what's the middle ground?
00:05:05.000 They want all of a sudden for people to have a restored confidence in the FBI.
00:05:10.000 They want people to have kind of a restored ideal that the FBI is going to do the right thing.
00:05:19.000 Let's play cut 139.
00:05:21.000 We've made a series of predictions here.
00:05:22.000 The Department of Justice and the FBI, we believe, will indict Hunter Biden after the election, right before Republicans take over Congress as a way to try to, meaning get sworn into Congress, as a way to try to say, hey, see, we're balanced.
00:05:34.000 I think that Hunter Biden has an indictment looming sometime in late November, early December.
00:05:39.000 I do not think Merrick Garland will make it much longer.
00:05:41.000 I think he's going to resign.
00:05:43.000 And I think that Joe Biden will make an announcement sometime next year that because of personal issues, he always just wanted to serve one term to heal the nation and that he's going to open up the Democrat primary.
00:05:53.000 Now, all this is speculation, but we have lots of evidence to show this.
00:05:57.000 Now, this was before the announcement.
00:05:58.000 This was our program a week and a half ago live from Hillsdale College.
00:06:02.000 And we said very clearly, we believe that there is an indictment looming.
00:06:05.000 Now, this is not an indictment announcement.
00:06:06.000 So step one, make the FBI look cleaner ahead of the midterms.
00:06:11.000 Step two, this is very important.
00:06:14.000 The FBI needs to make their appearance seem more neutral coming into the looming oversight blitz.
00:06:25.000 So they leak this ahead of the midterms because you've got to ask the question, why now?
00:06:28.000 Why are they doing this ahead of the midterms?
00:06:30.000 They're doing this because right now in Battleground States, Republican candidates that are hammering the Gestapo of the FBI, that are hammering the heavy-handedness of the FBI, it is not a good political issue.
00:06:46.000 So because of this, they need to leak this story so then journalists can provide cover fire and they say baseless claims that the FBI is nothing more than a Democrat enforcement agency.
00:06:57.000 Just look at this leak from the Washington Post.
00:06:59.000 They're about to indict Hunter Biden.
00:07:02.000 Basically, and it's an attempt to tweak the narrative and pave the way for what their real intentions are, which we're going to get to in a second, because this has nothing to do with Hunter Biden.
00:07:13.000 Hunter Biden is a distraction.
00:07:15.000 Hunter Biden is a sideshow.
00:07:16.000 Hunter Biden is a tool.
00:07:18.000 He is a pawn in a broader game.
00:07:21.000 And conservatives are messaging me, freedom at charliekirk.com.
00:07:24.000 Finally, Hunter Biden.
00:07:26.000 Yes, this is great.
00:07:27.000 Oh, stop being so naive.
00:07:29.000 First of all, do you think he's actually going to serve meaningful time in prison?
00:07:33.000 Do you think he's really going to serve a long sentence with leg irons and handcuffs and solitary confinement like they did to Navarro and Manafort?
00:07:40.000 Stop being so naive.
00:07:42.000 No, Hunter Biden is a pawn for a very precise political outcome.
00:07:48.000 So number one, again, make the FBI look cleaner ahead of the midterms.
00:07:51.000 Number two, make the FBI be able to answer questions that Republicans will ask them in January.
00:07:59.000 Why did you raid this pro-life leader?
00:08:01.000 Why did you go and arrest Steve Bannon, Peter Navarro?
00:08:06.000 Why did you go raid James O'Keefe's apartment?
00:08:08.000 They'll be able to say, well, we are a non-political agency as exhibited by our investigation of Hunter Biden.
00:08:15.000 They need to be able to say that to calm down the moderate rhino, spineless senators that otherwise could really lead an oversight blitz to calm down the temperature and they'll say, okay, yeah, whatever, and they'll move on.
00:08:28.000 Believe it or not, that is all it takes sometimes to get some of the rhinos off the back of these agencies.
00:08:33.000 Don't fall for it.
00:08:34.000 But those are just two very small goals of this leak against Hunter Biden.
00:08:40.000 There's a much bigger goal here.
00:08:43.000 There's a much bigger objective.
00:08:45.000 And it all plays in harmony together.
00:08:48.000 It all rhymes when you look at it.
00:08:51.000 So they want to be able to answer the oversight blitz.
00:08:53.000 They want to be able to clean up their reputation ahead of the midterms because they're afraid the FBI has been overzealous in going after conservatives.
00:09:01.000 They're seeing a political cost because of that.
00:09:03.000 And especially in the state of Pennsylvania.
00:09:06.000 In the state of Pennsylvania, the raid of Mark Houck, pro-life leader, father of seven, whose state and local agencies said he really did nothing wrong to be able to press charges against him, received a raid of 25 armed SWAT agents at home as if he's El Chapo or an international terrorist.
00:09:26.000 That is not resonating well politically in Pennsylvania.
00:09:29.000 So the FBI is trying to clean that up.
00:09:30.000 But there's two other things that are much bigger than that, that are right around that prediction that we made.
00:09:37.000 And it involves first Joe Biden in 2024, and then it involves something close to many of you, someone that you care a lot about.
00:09:48.000 This is not about Hunter Biden.
00:09:50.000 It's not about his shenanigans.
00:09:52.000 Nana, Hunter Biden is a pawn.
00:09:54.000 And the deep state, the shadow government, the fourth branch of government, they see the Hunter Biden move one, two, three, to try to circle our best player.
00:10:06.000 MyPillow is having their biggest sheet sale of the year.
00:10:09.000 You've all helped build My Pillow into an amazing company that is today.

00:10:59.000 Look at what's really going on.
00:11:01.000 Email me, freedom at charliekirk.com.
00:11:04.000 So the FBI leaks this right before the midterms.
00:11:07.000 And now they're trying to calm down what is a building MAGA red wave.
00:11:11.000 It's a four-part move here, and I'll go through all four again.
00:11:14.000 They're trying to calm down a MAGA wave that is criticizing the FBI and that's resonating as a legitimate midterm issue.
00:11:21.000 So they need to try to save face.
00:11:23.000 And so they leak this story.
00:11:24.000 But mind you, they leak it, but they don't indict him.
00:11:27.000 So it's not an indictment.
00:11:29.000 It's a kind of a half-measured Democrat op where they say that they have the evidence to indict, but they have to wait for a U.S. attorney to indict.
00:11:39.000 And of course, then Merrick Garland's going to pick up the phone and he's going to say, wait till after the midterms to indict.
00:11:44.000 So they're trying to clean up their image ahead of the midterms.
00:11:47.000 And then they want to make themselves look more neutral when they do actually indict Hunter Biden, which I think will happen.
00:11:54.000 I do believe they're going to indict Hunter Biden on some tax stuff and some gun issue stuff sometime between November and late December, as we've predicted multiple times on this program.
00:12:04.000 But then there is the third part, the third move, which is Joe Biden's approval rating, which is historically low.
00:12:11.000 Joe Biden has zero charisma, as we know with all of his issues of blunder and dementia and unpopularity, and he's become a very bitter president.
00:12:21.000 Bitterness does not wear well on human beings.
00:12:25.000 Some of the most unhappy, some of the most damaging people to a society are bitter people.
00:12:33.000 Joe Biden is a bitter man.
00:12:36.000 I'm not exactly sure why.
00:12:38.000 He does not have gratitude or joy.
00:12:40.000 He has bitterness.
00:12:42.000 So Joe Biden is unpopular.
00:12:43.000 And this is all part of the move as well to put Joe in a penalty box because of proximity of Joe Biden to Hunter Biden's business dealings, to put him in a penalty box to get Joe Biden to go out into the horizon, serve one term, and they're basically going to cut Joe Biden a deal.
00:13:02.000 And by I say they, I do not mean the Department of Justice.
00:13:05.000 I don't mean the FBI.
00:13:06.000 I mean the real power brokers.
00:13:08.000 I mean the people that put Joe Biden into office.
00:13:13.000 I mean the people that worked the phones in late February, early March of 2020, in that historic weekend that has never received the coverage I think it deserves.
00:13:25.000 And we've talked about this before on this program, where in one span of a weekend, Joe Biden went from fifth place in New Hampshire to the frontrunner in South Carolina, getting endorsement after endorsement after endorsement after endorsement.
00:13:38.000 Next thing you know, Budajedge and Warren and Camel are all endorsing Joe Biden because he wins one state of South Carolina.
00:13:44.000 There was a reset of the Democrat primary.
00:13:46.000 Camela dropped out suddenly and Budajeg endorsed him.
00:13:49.000 Somebody worked the phones, someone with a lot of power.
00:13:53.000 And that someone could have been Mark Elias.
00:13:55.000 It could have been Representatives for Lorene Powell Jobs for Mackenzie Bezos for George Soros.
00:13:59.000 It could have been any one of the Silicon Valley oligarch groups.
00:14:03.000 It could have been the Democracy Alliance.
00:14:04.000 It could have been all these groups that worked together and they said, hey, we need to have Barrick Hussein work the phones and reset the entire thing.
00:14:13.000 It could have been Ron Clain.
00:14:15.000 The people that implemented Joe Biden are the same people that can take him out.
00:14:20.000 As the great Rush Limbaugh would always say, if the power brokers create your career, they can destroy your career, which is exactly why they hated Donald Trump.
00:14:30.000 He was not created by them.
00:14:32.000 Therefore, they could not control him.
00:14:34.000 It's exactly why they fear Kerry Lake as well.
00:14:37.000 We're going to talk more about Kerry Lake.
00:14:39.000 This is why these Democrats, they're so synthetic.
00:14:43.000 They get a story in Vanity Fair and Rolling Stone.
00:14:46.000 Stacey Abrams is a creation of those kind of designers.
00:14:51.000 He's a hologram.
00:14:53.000 So they need to put Joe Biden in a political penalty box.
00:14:57.000 This puts Joe Biden on notice.
00:14:59.000 They've been trying to get Joe Biden's attention.
00:15:01.000 But as Joe Biden is even whispering via his surrogates, well, I might run again in 2024, they say, oh, yeah, pal, we'll see.
00:15:07.000 We're going to put Hunter Biden mired in legal trouble, have this cloud of doubt, do an indictment between November and December, and then be able to sort out what they want to have happen in 2024.
00:15:22.000 While the 2024 straws are drawn, is it Gavin Newsom?
00:15:28.000 Is it Elizabeth Warren?
00:15:30.000 Is it Budajej?
00:15:31.000 Is it Michelle Obama?
00:15:33.000 It's certainly not going to be Joe Biden.
00:15:35.000 The Department of Justice would not leak this story if Joe Biden was going to be their racehorse in 2024.
00:15:45.000 You're trying to tell me all of a sudden the Department of Justice has decided to go after Democrats.
00:15:50.000 They only go after Democrats that are no longer useful to the regime.
00:15:54.000 Andrew Cuomo, Jesse Jackson Jr., Andrew Gillum.
00:15:59.000 As soon as they are no longer popular, as soon as they are no longer able to get political power and do what they need to do for the, let's just say, the power brokers in society, then we could administer justice.
00:16:14.000 This is a warning sign to Joe Biden, but it's actually deeper than that.
00:16:17.000 It's more than just 2024.
00:16:19.000 It's more than just putting Joe Biden in a penalty box.
00:16:21.000 This is mass misdirection, Chicago-style thug politics, because it's actually about somebody else.
00:16:28.000 Some people are asking questions about, well, who do you think they're going to run in 2024?
00:16:33.000 They need to put him in a penalty box, Joe Biden.
00:16:36.000 That's what this move does.
00:16:38.000 And it's rather brilliant.
00:16:38.000 It's such a Democrat op, and it's so obvious because of the leak.
00:16:42.000 When's the last time you saw an accidental leak from the FBI to the Washington Post before a midterm election?
00:16:49.000 No, no, no.
00:16:50.000 This is as close to getting metaphorically half pregnant as you can get with an indictment.
00:16:56.000 It shows that they have the intent to indict.
00:16:59.000 They have everything ready.
00:17:00.000 It's orchestrated, but they didn't want to do the indictment because then they could be accused of election interference, similar to James Comey's announcement with Hillary Clinton.
00:17:10.000 So they're trying to use it actually to improve their stature to help Democrats coming in, to try to thwart the MAGA red wave.
00:17:17.000 They also want to be able to have a nice talking point ahead of the oversight hearings, the oversights blitz that Marjorie Taylor Greene and Matt Gates and Jim Jordan and many others are going to lead coming into January and February next year.
00:17:28.000 Then they want to put Joe in a political penalty box while they figure everything else out.
00:17:33.000 They say, wait a second, okay, is it going to be Stacey Abrams?
00:17:37.000 Is it going to be Gavin Newsom?
00:17:40.000 Is it going to be Kamala Harris?
00:17:42.000 And by the way, a lot of this movement, a lot of this maneuvering is happening because they've been having tryouts lately.
00:17:53.000 And I got to tell you, Kamala Harris is failing her tryout.
00:17:57.000 These people watch the regime, the real people that run our country, the oligarchs, the Soros, the Lorene Powell Jobs, Mackenzie Bezos, Mark Elias, the Comeys, the Strux, the Pages.
00:18:10.000 Those are the sovereign right now.
00:18:12.000 It's an upside-down dictatorship.
00:18:13.000 Biden is nothing more than a puppet.
00:18:15.000 But they kind of look because they do know this.
00:18:17.000 They know that they can interfere with and really rob an election from people.
00:18:21.000 They did it in 2020.
00:18:23.000 But they need to get the election close.
00:18:27.000 It can't be a blowout.
00:18:28.000 It can't be four or five points.
00:18:30.000 So they need to get things close.
00:18:32.000 So they need a candidate at least somewhat likable that they can raise a bunch of money, run a bunch of ads, have some sort of debate so it gets within that kind of murky middle.
00:18:42.000 So then they could do mules and then they could do mass mail and ballots.
00:18:45.000 They need to get it close.
00:18:47.000 Their fear is if it gets to be four or five, six points, which is exactly where Arizona is trending, by the way.
00:18:53.000 All that shenanigans is not enough because what?
00:18:55.000 The system is overwhelmed.
00:18:57.000 And they look at Kamala Harris, who's been, let's just say, trying out for the position, and her negatives might be the highest I've ever seen.
00:19:06.000 Again, I think somebody very smart in the Joe Biden campaign said, we got to pick someone who's worse than you because it will thwart all 25th Amendment talk.
00:19:16.000 But there is a fourth reason with the announcement yesterday, and it is not a good reason.
00:19:22.000 There is a fourth reason why the FBI did this, and it is their main goal.
00:19:26.000 But it takes an analysis where you see one step leading to the other, and you have to look a step deeper.
00:19:31.000 You have to look at what's actually happening, not just the misdirection, the mirage, the play action pass that they're throwing on cable television, which it's very obvious.
00:19:40.000 This is trying to lay the foundation, and we predicted this over the summer too.
00:19:45.000 This is trying to set the groundwork, the prerequisite to indict Donald Trump.
00:19:50.000 This is not good news for Donald Trump yesterday.
00:19:54.000 Now, is it going to be a nonsensical indictment?
00:19:56.000 Of course it is, fabricated out of thin air.
00:19:59.000 Is it garbage?
00:20:00.000 Should it make you angry?
00:20:01.000 Oh, yes, but let's be honest.
00:20:03.000 Yesterday is about trying to show the FBI says that no one is above the law.
00:20:09.000 You see, we go after a president's son and we go after a former president.
00:20:14.000 The difference, obviously, is Trump is innocent and he's not done anything wrong at all, completely at all whatsoever.
00:20:19.000 And Hunter Biden is a traitor and a criminal.
00:20:23.000 I mean, what, show me, you know, the old expression is show me the man.
00:20:27.000 I'll show you the crime.
00:20:29.000 The expression for Hunter Biden is show me the crime and I'll show you Hunter.
00:20:34.000 Pick a crime, any crime.
00:20:37.000 Drugs, sex, paying for sex, illegal foreign lobbying, lying to federal officials, illegally doing business dealings.
00:20:47.000 I mean, you show me any one of the crimes.
00:20:51.000 You could pick from the buffet line of the American legal code and all roads lead to Hunter.
00:20:59.000 Where it's the opposite for Donald Trump, where they show the man and they say, we hate him.
00:21:05.000 Where can we look in the voluminous records of the American legal code to try to find one thing that we might be able to persuade 12 angry activist leftists to indict him?
00:21:18.000 You have Tish James running on finding a crime in New York City.
00:21:22.000 You have the local DA in Fulton County trying to indict him over a phone call.
00:21:26.000 You have Department of Justice on multiple levels.
00:21:30.000 But the big one is they're trying to condition the American people to restore trust in the judicial system, which there is no coincidences around here.
00:21:41.000 There are no coincidences, I should say.
00:21:42.000 You're trying to tell me that the FBI leaks this just days after Tony Bobulinsky goes on Tucker Carlson?
00:21:50.000 No, no, Tony Bobulinsky going on Tucker Carlson.
00:21:54.000 They said, we got to get, we have to, we now have to engage.
00:21:59.000 It is Operation 2024.
00:22:02.000 And Operation 2024, the same way that they had Crossfire Hurricane, and they have all these weird sounding things, Operation 2024 within the FBI, within the DOJ, within the deep state, within the shadow government is very clear.
00:22:14.000 We got to restore our image, make us look neutral and nonpartisan.
00:22:17.000 You'll have all the mockingbird chattering people.
00:22:19.000 I guarantee you that there will be an op-ed in the New York Times the next 90 days saying, good on the FBI.
00:22:25.000 They go after both sides.
00:22:26.000 They're above politics.
00:22:28.000 They go after Trump and they go after Hunter Biden.
00:22:30.000 Let it be a signal and let it be a message to all politicians that you're not going to get away with your crimes.
00:22:37.000 And then they go to Joe Biden and they probably have Barack Obama deliver the message and they'll say, you're done.
00:22:45.000 And you know why.
00:22:47.000 And then they will package somebody else and implement someone who's likable enough to get the election close because Operation 2024 is not just about making sure Joe Biden doesn't run, but it's making sure Donald Trump doesn't run.
00:22:58.000 But they're starting to recognize and they're starting to realize that with this Hunter Biden news that it's actually deeper than Trump.
00:23:04.000 And they're, you know, finally they're waking up, the smart guys on MSNBC, I put smart in air quotes, they're starting to realize this is not a cult of personality.
00:23:13.000 We've only been saying this for the last five years.
00:23:16.000 Every reporter that talks to us, every person that comes to us, we say, yeah, it's actually a lot deeper than a person.
00:23:22.000 I wrote the entire book, The MAGA Doctrine, and God bless Donald Trump for his courage and his charisma and his willingness to save the country, his patriotism, his work ethic.
00:23:33.000 But what's now been boring is something the media was very afraid of.
00:23:38.000 In fact, the media almost spoke it into existence.
00:23:42.000 And I think this is actually going to deflate their enthusiasm to indict Donald Trump, which is this movement is a lot deeper than one man.
00:23:52.000 Is there respect and admiration and loyalty to that man?
00:23:56.000 Of course there is.
00:23:58.000 But what's happening now are separate, uncontrollable nodes of articulate, bottom-up grassroots America first candidates that are talking about these issues.
00:24:07.000 And the media is realizing that even if quote unquote they take the head off the snake with Donald Trump, it's actually a lot more widespread than that.
00:24:17.000 Cut 142 is Donnie Duch from MSNBC talking about how MAGA ism, America First Ideas, it's more than Trump.
00:24:28.000 The polls are showing us that these ideas are popular, that this is a blueprint for victory, that they don't know actually how to fight back against this, that Donald Trump has started a widespread, exciting, diverse, new populist movement, a nationalist movement that they can't control.
00:24:47.000 Play cut 142.
00:24:48.000 What's interesting, I go back to Arizona also and Lake, and you see what's so scary about her is the packaging versus Trump.
00:24:58.000 You know, Trump is so easy to dismiss.
00:25:01.000 He's crazy.
00:25:02.000 He's racist.
00:25:03.000 He's all these things.
00:25:05.000 And then when we have some of these better packaged candidates, DeSantis and Lake, and we can list a few of the other ones, you kind of go, wait a second.
00:25:14.000 If that's a message that's winning, that's where this country is.
00:25:19.000 Can you just now paint them in the corner?
00:25:21.000 Oh, they're crazy extremists.
00:25:22.000 They're never going to win.
00:25:23.000 No, they can win.
00:25:24.000 And the scary part is not the candidates.
00:25:26.000 It's the numbers of people that are getting behind these candidates, these Trump-ist candidates who are not Donald Trump.
00:25:33.000 That's actually an appropriate analysis.
00:25:35.000 That's actually right.
00:25:36.000 It's not even about the candidates.
00:25:38.000 It's about you.
00:25:40.000 That is a 44-second monologue of lament.
00:25:45.000 He's lamenting that the American people are actually not on board with medical mutilation of 12-year-olds or calling moms and dads terrorists that show up at school board meetings.
00:25:55.000 He's saying that the American people do not want open borders.
00:25:59.000 He's saying that the American people want a country that is recognizable.
00:26:04.000 New poll from interactive polls.
00:26:07.000 Kerry Lake, four-point lead over Katie Hobbs and expanding, by the way, done by People's Pundit.
00:26:16.000 In Nevada, Adam Laxalt, in a CNN poll, Adam Laxalt up two points.
00:26:22.000 Blake Masters, then striking distance of Mark Kelly, Blake Masters joining us very soon.
00:26:27.000 They see this, and now all of a sudden, they recognize and realize, like, okay, we can leak some stuff against Hunter Biden and refresh our image.
00:26:34.000 But Donnie on MSNBC is saying, this is a lot deeper and a lot more popular than we would have recognized.
00:26:40.000 And that's exactly right.
00:26:42.000 Why?
00:26:43.000 Because of you.
00:26:44.000 You did the work.
00:26:46.000 This is something that the lazy liberals, we predicted this.
00:26:50.000 Many of us predicted this, that they were going to sit on their hands and underestimate us.
00:26:54.000 They thought January 6th was the death sentence of MAGA.
00:26:57.000 They did.
00:26:58.000 No one liked what happened on January 6th.
00:27:01.000 I don't think we'll ever know the true truth of what happened on January 6th, the pipe bombs and federal intervention and Ray Epps.
00:27:06.000 We didn't like the violence.
00:27:06.000 We didn't like that.
00:27:08.000 But they really believed in their own bubble that that was the death sentence of our entire movement, that that was metaphorically putting MAGA to capital punishment and it's over.
00:27:22.000 And they were wrong.
00:27:23.000 They rested on their laurels.
00:27:24.000 They had committees.
00:27:26.000 They had investigations.
00:27:27.000 They had subpoenas.
00:27:29.000 They had all this stuff.
00:27:30.000 Meanwhile, what did we do?
00:27:31.000 We went and drafted candidates that are smart, popular, wise, likable, based, willing to do the work, and are fighters.
00:27:43.000 And now they're waking up 32 days from the midterm election and they say, what is going on?
00:27:51.000 We thought if we just take Trump off the kind of chessboard, everything will get better.
00:27:57.000 Not so fast, my friends.
00:27:59.000 Don't celebrate the Hunter Biden news.
00:28:01.000 They are going to try to go after Donald Trump, but I think that there is some skepticism because they're starting to realize they're starting to understand this is a lot bigger than one man.
00:28:08.000 This is a generational movement to reclaim the country from these deep state cockroaches, from these insidious corporate forces.
00:28:19.000 It's diverse.
00:28:20.000 It's exciting.
00:28:21.000 It's bottom-up.
00:28:22.000 It's new.
00:28:23.000 It's organic.
00:28:25.000 And it can't be controlled from the top.
00:28:30.000 You want to know what the left's real plan is for your kids?
00:28:33.000 Just look at how they react to the wonderful company of Patriot Mobile.
00:28:37.000 I use Patriot Mobile and you should too.
00:28:39.000 Patriot Mobile is America's only Christian conservative cell phone provider.
00:28:44.000 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.
00:28:52.000 Patriot Mobile is amazing.
00:28:54.000 They have affordable plans for you, your family, even your business.
00:28:57.000 They offer the same nationwide coverage as the major carriers because they use multiple major networks.
00:29:02.000 Plus, you're supporting conservative values with every call.

00:29:31.000 The federal government might soon indict Hunter Biden.
00:29:35.000 We covered this rather extensively.
00:29:37.000 And no better person to help us unpack this than Miranda Devine.
00:29:40.000 Miranda, let me kind of tell you my theory that we have here.
00:29:44.000 And we've been kind of saying this for a couple months.
00:29:46.000 Basically, I think this is first and foremost an attempt to try to have the FBI look cleaner ahead of the midterms.
00:29:52.000 Secondly, they want to look more neutral coming into an oversight blitz that will likely happen if Republicans flip the House and the Senate or the Senate.
00:30:00.000 Also, I think it's going to put Joe Biden in a political penalty box coming into 2024 so that they can have a Gavin Newsom or someone much more likable.
00:30:08.000 But kind of most importantly, I think that it is a way to try to set the table to indict Donald Trump.
00:30:15.000 I think the evidence against Hunter Biden is so overwhelming, they're going to use this as a first step to then go after Trump.
00:30:21.000 Miranda, what are your thoughts?
00:30:24.000 There's a lot to unpack there.
00:30:26.000 Obviously, the leaks to the Washington Post, just like the leaks earlier to CNN, are part of a strategy, a game being played to shape the narrative ahead of any charges or any plea deal coming up.
00:30:41.000 Now, we've known for many months that what was coming out of Delaware is always going to be a slap on the wrist.
00:30:52.000 And the most obvious part of that is the fact that they never called Tony Bobolinski, who would be your key witness if you really wanted to get to the bottom of the Biden family influence peddling scheme when it came to China, particularly, which is probably the most important in terms of our national security, definitely.
00:31:12.000 So, and, you know, Tony Bobolinski was never subpoenaed, never called before that grand jury in Delaware.
00:31:21.000 So instantly, that tells you that they were not interested.
00:31:24.000 They were deliberately refusing to follow any lines of inquiry that would lead to the White House to Joe Biden, which effectively means the whole influence peddling scheme is off the table.
00:31:36.000 And you see that from the leak to the Washington Post.
00:31:38.000 It's just about tax evasion.
00:31:40.000 It's just about a gun charge, albeit a felony, a gun charge, pretty serious.
00:31:44.000 People have gone to jail for lying on that background check form.
00:31:49.000 But really, the tax charges.
00:31:51.000 The question you have to ask is: if Hunter has paid back, as we're told, $2.8 million worth of taxes, unpaid taxes to the IRS, where did that money come from?
00:32:03.000 We know where that money came from.
00:32:05.000 That money came from China, came from Ukraine, came from Romania, came from Kazakhstan.
00:32:12.000 It came from the influence peddling operation that the Bidens were running around the world while Joe Biden was vice president, that Joe Biden says he knows nothing about.
00:32:22.000 And the reason that this is coming out, I'm calling it a limited hangout, you know, a legal limited hangout.
00:32:29.000 The reason that these just trivial charges really are being aired at this time is to create a narrative that I know the Hunter Biden cab who I talked to yesterday is putting forward, which is that, look, Hunter Biden has nothing to hide.
00:32:47.000 He's been investigated for four years.
00:32:49.000 The poor guy was a drug addict.
00:32:50.000 He was late with his taxes.
00:32:51.000 Who wouldn't be if they had those kind of addiction problems?
00:32:56.000 And there's nothing else.
00:32:57.000 The DOJ case has fallen apart.
00:33:00.000 These were all Trump prosecutors.
00:33:02.000 They're just trying to save face.
00:33:04.000 And they're leaking to put pressure on David Weiss to indict Hunter.
00:33:11.000 And they're also saying that Hunter is not being offered a plea deal.
00:33:15.000 So make of that what you will.
00:33:17.000 This is anonymous sources from people close to Hunter.
00:33:21.000 So they're not putting their name to it.
00:33:23.000 And it's obviously part of creating a narrative that suits Hunter Biden.
00:33:29.000 Yeah, I mean, I hear all that.
00:33:30.000 And I think the facts are important.
00:33:32.000 I'm just, you know, I'm just so cynical in the sense where I think they're just the regime in DC doesn't want to have to go after Hunter.
00:33:40.000 But if they are going to, which they will, they're going to use it for some other objective and some other aim.
00:33:46.000 What do you think about the theory of trying to, let's just say, change their appearance in the eyes of the American people or of the Senate or Congress, that they're a non-political neutral institution to then do a move against Donald Trump?
00:34:00.000 Oh, I'm sure that will happen.
00:34:02.000 You know, the slap on the wrist will happen.
00:34:04.000 This will be exhibit A of how the DOJ, without fear or favor, has charged the president's son or has, you know, given him a suspended sentence or a big fine, whatever, that they've investigated him, that there was no interference from Joe Biden, no interference from Eric Garland.
00:34:21.000 I'm sure there will be a press conference trumpeting all of that and making out that, and they'll be aided and abetted by the New York Times and Washington Post and so on, whose readers don't know any better because they've never really been told the full story of the influence peddling scheme as told by, you know, the laptop Bob Linsky, but not just them.
00:34:43.000 Also, the voluminous amount of Treasury Department records tracing the money that Chuck Grosley and Ron Johnson discovered during their Senate inquiry.
00:34:54.000 You know, those three pieces of the jigsaw puzzle fit together to tell a really strong tale of corruption, which goes both ways in Washington.
00:35:03.000 Joe Biden, this is about Joe Biden.
00:35:05.000 It's not about Hunter Biden, but it could be about a lot of people on both sides of the aisle in Washington because influence peddling, making money in corrupt ways is an equal opportunity game for both sides in Washington.
00:35:21.000 It's the norm, you know, with your great reporting from the laptop from hell.
00:35:25.000 I encourage everyone to check out your book.
00:35:27.000 You know, the old expression is, you show me the man, I'll show you the crime.
00:35:30.000 In this case, you show me the crime, I'll show you Hunter.
00:35:33.000 There's no lack of crimes here.
00:35:34.000 It's every possible category imaginable.
00:35:37.000 So, Miranda, I'm sure you saw clips or maybe the whole thing of Tony Bobulinsky's conversation with Tucker this week.
00:35:43.000 What did we learn, if anything, from that conversation?
00:35:46.000 What did you learn or maybe nothing as the kind of subject matter expert on this?
00:35:52.000 Well, the new information that I hadn't known was that Jim Biden called Tony Bobelinski when he was in the middle of that five-hour interview with the FBI on October 23, 2020, just 11 days before the election.
00:36:09.000 And he called him.
00:36:12.000 Tony Bobolinski held up his phone, showed it to the agents who were interviewing him.
00:36:16.000 Their eyes widened.
00:36:17.000 They said, Oh, you should take that.
00:36:19.000 I walked out of the room, let him take it.
00:36:21.000 When he answered the phone, there was just dead air.
00:36:24.000 Jim Biden didn't answer.
00:36:26.000 He texted Jim Biden.
00:36:28.000 Did you call me?
00:36:29.000 No answer.
00:36:30.000 He hasn't heard from the Biden since.
00:36:33.000 But, you know, that opens all sorts of questions.
00:36:37.000 Maybe it was a coincidence, or maybe somebody at the FBI tipped off the Bidens to the fact that Tony Bobulinsky.
00:36:44.000 That's very interesting.
00:36:45.000 Yes, that's exactly right.
00:36:47.000 We have a tape here of him talking about that, actually.
00:36:49.000 I want to find this tape of Tony Bobulinsky kind of going back and talking about it.
00:36:56.000 So let me try to get this one here.
00:36:57.000 Well, let's start with this clip here.
00:36:59.000 Let's cut 75 and then we'll find that other one.
00:37:02.000 But there are hundreds of data points that Joe Biden was acting in, in a capitalistic term, I would say the chairman.
00:37:12.000 The chairman of JP Morgan doesn't take eight meetings down with the people, you know, analyzing companies.
00:37:18.000 The chairman serves a purpose, right?
00:37:20.000 He's a figurehead.
00:37:20.000 He shows up in meetings, shakes hands, advises, you know, has faith in his team.
00:37:26.000 Effectively, that was Joe Biden's role in the Biden family business ventures and around the world.
00:37:32.000 And so in normal world America, Tony Bobulinsky is not just a helpful witness.
00:37:41.000 He's the lynchpin to the entire investigation.
00:37:43.000 Let's play Cut 88.
00:37:45.000 Keep tell us that it's age 15 on Wednesday night.
00:37:51.000 He's got a chance to be called.
00:37:53.000 It doesn't hurt you.
00:37:54.000 Just want to talk to you.
00:37:55.000 I thought the article released the thing online.
00:37:58.000 It's going to be printed tomorrow.
00:37:59.000 The Times is good.
00:38:01.000 I think it's clear.
00:38:03.000 And anyway, if you get a chance to recall, I love it.
00:38:08.000 What article was he referencing there?
00:38:11.000 That was a New York Times article, which was looking into CEFC, this Chinese energy conglomerate that paid millions of dollars to the Biden family.
00:38:21.000 And Chairman Yee was the head of that CEFC, and he had been squiring around Hunter and, you know, sucking up to the Bidens.
00:38:32.000 And he was basically Jim and Hunter Biden's partner.
00:38:36.000 And Joe Biden, this was the deal that Joe Biden was slated to get 10% for the big guy, as Tony Bobulinsky attested to.
00:38:45.000 So, you know, that's Joe Biden, who has always claimed he knows nothing about Hunter's overseas business dealings, obviously intimately aware of the details of this New York Times article, knew that Hunter was panicking about it.
00:39:02.000 And he rings up with a sigh of relief and says, I look at seeing the article.
00:39:07.000 Looks like you're clear.
00:39:09.000 Let's play Cut 74.
00:39:11.000 So the last contact I had with the Biden family was actually when I was in my interview with the FBI on October 23rd for that five plus hours.
00:39:20.000 So my phone starts ringing in the middle of this interview.
00:39:22.000 So I look down and I'm like, I'm like, is he really calling me right now?
00:39:27.000 So I show the phone to my lawyer and he's like, and then I show it to the agents.
00:39:32.000 The agents got up out of their chair and left the room.
00:39:34.000 They were like, you can take that call if you want.
00:39:36.000 And so I answered it and there was nobody on the other side.
00:39:40.000 So I don't know if it was a mistake or they were trying to send me a message or what it was, but that's the last interaction or communication I've had with the Biden family.
00:39:50.000 I guess the question is: you know, Tony Bobulinsky should have called them back and recorded the call with the FBI agents right there.
00:39:56.000 It could have been signed, sealed, and delivered.
00:39:57.000 But that's rather remarkable.
00:39:59.000 Was that kind of like a mob, like you call and no one's on the other line type thing, or kind of like you wake up with a dead horse's head in your bed?
00:40:06.000 What are we supposed to make of this?
00:40:08.000 Look, who would know?
00:40:10.000 You can put any complexion on that you like.
00:40:12.000 But as with everything with the Bidens, there's always some sort of plausible deniability.
00:40:16.000 Remember, Joe Biden's been doing this for 40 years.
00:40:19.000 He's not stupid enough to get caught saying anything overt, doing anything overt.
00:40:26.000 But the circumstantial evidence, when you piece it all together, is incontrovertible.
00:40:32.000 We know that Joe Biden was involved, that he met at least more than a dozen of Hunter Biden's overseas business partners.
00:40:39.000 We know that he knew about Hunter and Jim's business.
00:40:43.000 We know that in part, we've got some evidence that he financially benefited from it from the laptop.
00:40:49.000 And so there's a lot there to investigate.
00:40:51.000 But obviously, over in Delaware, which is Joe Biden's home state, very small state.
00:40:58.000 Everyone knows each other.
00:41:00.000 They have done the bare minimum.
00:41:02.000 And this is just a limited hangout in terms of any charges that might be brought against Hunter Biden.
00:41:07.000 There's a deeper game at play.
00:41:09.000 Miranda's been on the case the entire time.
00:41:10.000 Check out her book, Laptop from Hell Miranda.
00:41:12.000 Thank you so much.
00:41:13.000 Thanks, Charlotte.
00:41:18.000 Someone emails here, Charlie.
00:41:19.000 Do you think the red wave is going to reach blue states as well?
00:41:22.000 I do.
00:41:22.000 Keep an eye on that Oregon governor's race.
00:41:24.000 I think that's a very interesting race.
00:41:26.000 Oregon could elect a Republican governor this year.
00:41:29.000 Very, very interesting.
00:41:31.000 I find that to be a fascinating race.
00:41:34.000 Rhode Island.
00:41:36.000 That's right.
00:41:36.000 Rhode Island.
00:41:37.000 There's some stuff that you could do.
00:41:40.000 There's some things that could happen in Rhode Island.
00:41:42.000 In fact, let me see here.
00:41:43.000 We have some, I was just reading an email from someone from Rhode Island.
00:41:45.000 Let me try to get the article from Rhode Island here that I was reading this morning.
00:41:49.000 Matt Boyle sent it to me.
00:41:51.000 Yeah, here it is right here.
00:41:52.000 That's right.
00:41:54.000 So, Rhode Island poll, Republican Alan Fung, six points ahead of Democrat Seth Magzindner.
00:42:03.000 This is a poll that is commissioned in WPRI, and it's an amazing opportunity.
00:42:11.000 And if you look at what's happening here, it is a congressional race in Rhode Island.
00:42:17.000 So it's a House seat, and it shows that Republicans are poised to win it for the first time since 1992 in Rhode Island.
00:42:27.000 Fung is a centrist Republican who served as a mayor of the second largest city in Rhode Island and very popular, very charismatic.
00:42:36.000 And obviously, Rhode Island only gets one congressional seat, not the biggest state, but great people.
00:42:41.000 I love Rhode Island.
00:42:43.000 And there's some wacky people in Rhode Island too, but there's some great people.
00:42:46.000 I've spent some time in Rhode Island.
00:42:47.000 I've spoken at Brown University in Providence.
00:42:51.000 I think it's in Providence.
00:42:52.000 Yeah, that's right.
00:42:52.000 It's in Providence.
00:42:53.000 And I've also been to Newport, which is quite honestly one of the most beautiful places America has to offer is Newport, Rhode Island.
00:42:59.000 Really great people there.
00:43:00.000 I want to get just some more sound here as we wait for the great Wayne Allen root.
00:43:05.000 I want to go to this sound where you could start to see the anxiety continue to build for Democrats.
00:43:13.000 The anxiety is just really starting to hit a fever pitch.
00:43:21.000 Cut 153.
00:43:23.000 There is a, to quote a one-term Democratic president, a malaise that is out there.
00:43:30.000 And that is what our polls have shown in some of these key states, Nevada and Arizona.
00:43:36.000 People just don't feel good because inflation is high, because there is so much discord and discontent in this country.
00:43:45.000 I think Wayne Allen Root agrees.
00:43:46.000 He's with us now.
00:43:47.000 Wayne, apologies for the technical stuff.
00:43:49.000 And congratulations.
00:43:51.000 You have a Trump interview tomorrow.
00:43:52.000 We only have two minutes, so the floor is yours.
00:43:55.000 Well, thank you, Charlie.
00:43:57.000 Great honor to be on your show.
00:43:58.000 You've been on mine quite a few times.
00:44:00.000 So great to be here with everybody.
00:44:02.000 I've got Trump on my show tomorrow on Real America's Voice, noon East Coast time, 9 a.m. Pacific.
00:44:07.000 It'll be the fifth time I've had Trump on my show in the last year.
00:44:10.000 We're good friends.
00:44:11.000 And that always means you get great conversation because we're not like a journalist interviewing Trump.
00:44:17.000 It's like two buddies talking.
00:44:19.000 And I always get things out of him that he never says in any other interviews.
00:44:23.000 So it's guaranteed to be an eye-opening interview.
00:44:26.000 By the way, in the past, one of the best things I ever discussed with him is I thought he should be the House Speaker.
00:44:32.000 I was the first guy to invent that idea in January of 2021, right after Biden took office.
00:44:37.000 And then Steve Bannon started talking about it.
00:44:39.000 And then I asked Trump about it.
00:44:41.000 And it blew up in headlines all around the world.
00:44:44.000 And I still, to this day, Charlie, think Trump should be the House Speaker.
00:44:47.000 I know he probably doesn't want the job.
00:44:49.000 He's probably going to tell me he's officially decided it's McCarthy's job.
00:44:52.000 It's not his.
00:44:53.000 But I don't believe McConnell and McCarthy are our kind of conservatives that'll ever make waves and ever get the job done facing the literally socialist, communist, radical assault on America we're facing right now.
00:45:07.000 We need someone special and unique to lead the House, and that's Trump.
00:45:11.000 But we'll see what he says.
00:45:12.000 I'll ask him about it again tomorrow.
00:45:14.000 And I'll also ask him about inflation and crime and World War III.
00:45:19.000 I believe we're at the precipice of World War III.
00:45:21.000 And I've said it for three months.
00:45:23.000 And suddenly Biden agrees with me.
00:45:24.000 He says we're at the precipice of nuclear Armageddon, unlike any time since the Cuban Missile Crisis.
00:45:30.000 So even Biden's chiming in.
00:45:32.000 Unfortunately, he feels our pain because he's the one causing it.
00:45:36.000 He's the one that is causing World War III.
00:45:39.000 Disaster is upon us.
00:45:41.000 And I'll ask Trump about all of that.
00:45:43.000 I'm sure we'll get some interesting answers.
00:45:45.000 Your interview tomorrow, Real America's Voice, top 10 countdown.
00:45:48.000 Great job, Wayne.
00:45:49.000 Wish we had more time.
00:45:50.000 You got to come back soon.
00:45:51.000 Thanks so much.
00:45:52.000 You got it.
