"He's saying stuff that strikes a fundamental chord of what is wrong in Western society. Play cut 57. When you want to conquer a society, you kill the military aged males. That's what you do. That's the first thing they've ever done. They walk in and all the men have to have their throats cut. They can't perhaps do that, but they can certainly cut your balls off and then you can't resist. And I think there's certainly a movement to ensure that there's very little resistance left inside of the number one demographic, which is required to resist oppression, which are military aged males. And they don't want those kind of people waking up with any kind of self respect or standards or to say, no, I don't accept this. I do not need a ninth injection. They don't want that. They want you to sit and say, hmm, I don't need it, but the news said so. So a lot to finish on that topic, but I want to get to our friend here, Paul Manafort. Paul, welcome to the program. I want to point our audience to your book, Political Prisoner by Paul Manafort. And so, so, Paul, I mean, I don't want to overly connect the themes here, but Andrew Tate is now facing a bunch of charges in Romania for what considered to be thought crimes. You were a political prisoner and targeted by the regime. And Donald Trump is now being targeted by the regime. Do you have some top line thoughts of how our judicial system has now kind of metamorphosized into a way to imprison people that hold ideas or participate in political parties that are against modern orthodoxies? Yeah, Charlie, you're so right. I mean, depending on where you align yourself in the political spectrum determines what kind of political right, what kind of constitutional rights you have. In my case, I was on the wrong side. I was Donald Trump's campaign chairman. And they spent two and a half years trying to get me to say things that weren't true. And because I wouldn't, they violated a lot of my constitutional rights and made up crimes and put me in jail. And I never worry about it at the time because I felt like this was the United States of America. This is a country that I've been defending the values of all around the world. But times have changed. And in my book, you talk about, which was written a couple of years ago, I was concerned in the reason I wrote the book. I say that it was not just to get my side of the story out, but really to warn the American people that there was a two tiered system of justice and that even everyday Americans were going to be in the crosshairs if we didn't take our government back and our country back. And unfortunately, my predictions have all seemed to come true to the point that they're even going after a former president and creating crimes like the DA did in New York that just don't exist in the statutes and then citing an espionage act to deal with document production. It's just outrageous. But at the same time, you see with what's going on in Washington today with the Department of Justice and Hunter Biden, they've got a laptop with so many fair violations on it. Yes. They totally ignored it. And with me, they had to create a fact pattern using people that I had hired and legitimately were working for publicly and were registered. And they said, because I had hired them, I was responsible for for their work. And, you know, even the fair unit didn't agree with that. But when Mueller was appointed, Weissman told the fair unit that they were taken over and they understand the agreements with me were thrown out. Well, and it's just just so everyone understands, it's such a loosely written statute. The intention of the law was a good intention, 1930s. Don't want Nazis to come into our country. But if you read how it's written, as you all know, Paul, it's like any contact with any foreign official, whether money is exchanged or not, could make you. And by the way, it's supposed to be a failure to register, just so we're clear. It's a registration statute. It's not even an activity statute. But they then criminalized. They've only used it nine times since the 1930s. They dusted off this law. You did legitimate international business for years. And they said, we hate this guy because of his proximity to Trump. Now, they've ignored that precedent towards Hunter Biden, who has done clandestine, illegitimate, borderline treason activity with foreign nationals. Your thoughts, Paul? Well, I mean, the laptop shows meetings that Hunter had on behalf of Burisma, on behalf of the Chinese, on behalf of the Russian oligarch that hired him. I mean, there actually are meetings, there are memos, there are emails. So there's no question about what kind of activity was involved. There was activity involved, but they just ignored it. And this plea deal that they've agreed to, I mean, basically what, as I understand it, the plea agreement says, is that any and all other crimes are thrown out. And only the three that these pled to, or the two that these pled to, in the third one can be a conviction unless he violates the plea agreement. But in that plea agreement, they cleanse him of everything else that's on the laptop. And I hope the judge takes a serious look at it, because it's a serious problem. And this Justice Department has just unabashedly promoted it as a fair treatment. When all they have to do is look at the precedent they set with me. And they'll see that it's not a different tier of justice. So Paul Manafort is with us. Check out the book Political Prisoner. He said it best. Your civil rights and your treatment is directly connected with your politics. That's such a sad reality. It's where we are right now. Paul, what advice would you give Donald Trump after your brawl with the Department of Justice? Well, the key thing I think I would say is there's obviously a big difference. He's running for president. I was not. Yes. And it's important to the president needs to understand what they're trying to do. They're trying to get him off message. They're trying to get him dealing with the legal issues and not dealing with the campaign issues. And I think what's important for the president is he's got very good counsel. One of the lawyers, one of the lawyers that represented me and actually won in New York for me. He's very bright. He understands law. He understands the tactics that the DA's and the prosecutor is going to try to play. Let him deal with the practice, because right now it's a motion practice. It's on the law. The issues that the Trump campaign is focused on, the Trump legal team is focusing on, relate to really what the problems with the indictments. And I think the president, the American people, at least on the Republican side, they've made their opinion known to the president about how they feel about this. Even people, American Republicans who are supporting other candidates support Donald Trump in this manner. And frankly, I think a lot of Republicans are recognizing that they have to vote for Donald Trump as well. Otherwise, the left is going to get its way with trying to establish this two tiered system of justice. So what I think President Trump needs to do is focus on his number one job, which is getting himself reelected, elected president of the United States, let his lawyers do the motion practice. That's not to say he doesn't have to deal with the framework of the absurd two tiered justice system, because the American people see it. I mean, all the latest polls now, you see the FBI is a guest credibility of 24, 25, you know, the Justice Department, it's in the same place. So the President Trump's defining of the two tiered system of justice has impacted. And he doesn't, I mean, he needs to get elected so he can clean up the swamp. That's his job. And that over the next year is what he needs to do. And clearly in watching him on the campaign trail, he gets that. And he's focusing on that. And I think that's disappointing the Democrats somewhat, because they thought they'd have them dealing with all of the issues of obscurity of the Espionage Act and this crazy stuff they're trying to do down in Georgia. And he's not falling for that. And that's the biggest advice I'd give to him. But he's already following his own advice in that regard. So just from a personal management standpoint, you could feel as if your world is falling apart and the government just tries to demoralize you. They have unlimited assets. They have the media on their side. How did you stay hopeful when it looked as if the whole regime was trying to basically give you a death sentence to get you to go to jail? Well, I mean, first was my faith. That was very important to me because I knew I didn't do anything wrong. And I knew that these charges were bogus charges. I also knew that the president of the United States knew they were bogus charges. So I tried to stay inward. I wouldn't let them know what they were saying about me, define how I felt about myself. My family was there. My friends were there. And I always felt that the end of the day, that one way or another, I would not spend the rest of my life in jail, even though that's what they're trying to do. And thank you to President Trump for providing me a pardon because he knew I was there for the wrong reasons. And he also knew that I wouldn't give up him by lying so that the prosecutor would go easier on me. And so that's what my faith, my family and knowing that I had done nothing wrong and believing that Donald Trump would, at the end of the day, do the right thing. Paul Manafort, author of the book Political Prisoner, thank you so much. Thank you, Charlie. Good seeing you again. Thank you. Thanks so much for listening, everybody. Email us your thoughts, as always, freedom at CharlieKirk.com. Thank you so much for listening and God bless.

"So, I kind of live in a bubble at times and kind of a created bubble. That's what happens when you honor the Shabbos and you turn off your phone and you don't have any social media apps. So kind of on the fringes, I guess you could say, I would hear Andrew Tate, Andrew Tate, Andrew Tate. And I didn't. I was like, okay, whatever. Who is this guy? And apparently he got really, so he's a kickboxer. He's the son of a chess legend. And that's important. I'll tell you in a second. And he got super, super popular for talking about masculinity in particular. Now I'm not an apologist. Apparently he's participated in a lot of behavior that I would deem reprehensible. You could say he ran a cam girl business. He's accused of rape. So putting all of that and factoring all that in, I never was overly interested in Andrew Tate. Full disclosure. People seemed really interested in him and I was like, okay, what is this? Just a fad or whatever. So I have a lot of respect for Tucker Carlson. He's a good friend of mine. We've spent a lot of time together and he's coming to our event this weekend. And so, and also Patrick Bet-David has been on the Andrew Tate thing for a while and I've never said anything critical of him. Again, I don't really have any strong opinions. If you don't know who Andrew Tate is, Andrew Tate was the most Googled man in the world last year. Kickboxer, incredibly well built, like ridiculously muscular, super fit, was a professional kickboxer as I mentioned, but really kind of made his name in the last couple of years, going on social media, speaking out against the kind of postmodern, secular, anti-masculine agenda that has been setting into the West. And if you're like me and you're like, who is this guy? I think it's actually worth thinking about what he has to say. And it's notable because over the span of a week last year, they deplatformed him from everything. It was the Alex Jones, Donald Trump treatment. They from every major social media website, he was tarred and feathered largely because he was so skilled at dominating TikTok and social media platforms, saying things you are not allowed to say. Now there's kind of from what my research in the last 24 hours, there's kind of two versions of Andrew Tate. There is Andrew Tate sitting down with Tucker, who's incredibly precise with his language and very mainstream in how he presents himself. And then there's TikTok Andrew Tate, who's a little bit more grandiose and braggadocious, which is fine. I mean, you're allowed kind of two different presentations of yourself as long as there's some harmony in your messaging. And so if you were to watch Tucker Carlson's interview with Andrew Tate, you're like, wow, this guy's so rational and all this. And yes, I don't think he ceases to be rational, but his TikTok persona was very provocative. And by the way, I agree with almost everything he was saying, again, all while understanding he is under accusations of rape and running a cam girl business and all this other stuff. Not stuff that I consider to be necessarily virtuous. However, Andrew Tate struck a chord. We have not seen a viral sensation like Andrew Tate since, in my opinion, Jordan Peterson. Jordan Peterson came on the scene and went total, totally viral.

"Rahim Kassam is with us from National Pulse. You guys should all become members of National Pulse. They do a great job independent. They're terrific. I think it's nine dollars a month, right Rahim? That is very cheap in the grand scheme of things. The nationalpulse.com is where we break the news and we have a great new podcast for the campaign trail where once a week I go through kind of the detail and I guess this weekend I'm going to be talking a little bit more about the detail and the stupidity of skipping an event like ACTCOM, like a turning point event which Governor Santos is apparently doing. You also have a charity run you want to mention Rahim before we dive back into the theme you had previously? Yeah, I'm very grateful. Every year, this is the third year I'm going to be doing the 5K for Tunnel to Towers. You know they're a hundred percent rated charity which means most of the money goes straight to the causes. It's just a 5K, it's nothing crazy but it was crazy a couple of years ago when I was 50 pounds heavier and hadn't run in about four years. But now I do it every year and I try and raise as much money for them as possible. They build homes for veterans and families devastatingly impacted by 9-11. They do such great work. I'm sure most of the audience know Tunnel to Towers already but if you want to help out, the website is just runsignup.com forward slash Rahim, runsignup.com forward slash Rahim or it's all over my social media so you can check it out there at Rahim Qassam everywhere. Thanks for letting me pitch that because it's a charity that means a lot to me. They're a great charity. So Rahim, let me ask you and maybe you could segue this into something you wanted to kind of touch on. Do you believe that the more establishment donor class, of which I'm friendly with some of them, not so many other ones, right, you have to build big things. You don't try to create enemies. We certainly disagree on a lot. But at least I'm talking to them and I'm gleaning from them that DeSantis' stock is down. Do you think they're going to draft a different candidate, Yunken or try to revive Mike Pence or Nikki Haley? Because DeSantis was supposed to be the challenger. He was supposed to be the chosen one. How do you see this playing out? Yeah, absolutely. And when you look at the statement that the DeSantis campaign is making ahead of this crisis summit with potential donors in the Hamptons, they say, oh, we're playing the long game. Well, let's get into the time period that's required here, because there is no long game to be played, especially if Iowa is the do or die, as the DeSantis team themselves are now saying. You really have just about three months left to make your mark, about 90 days left to make your mark. By the time we reach mid-October, early November, it's going to be impossible, impossible to shift people's opinions as if it's as if they're finding it easy now. Right. They're not. They're not shaving half a point off Donald Trump's numbers. They may be trading points back and forth between Mike Pence and Doug Burgum and Vivek, who's catching Ron, quite frankly, and who I expect that perhaps by the end of summer may even have caught him. I think Vivek could finish second, just so we're clear. He is on pace to be the second delegate in the convention, the second most delegates. Do not be surprised if the Vivek Ramaswamy next summer convention has 10 percent of the delegates. Yeah. I mean, he's working so much harder. He's doing dozens and dozens of events, especially right now in Iowa every week. He's going all over the state. He's actually cutting through when you listen to him talk at some of these events, some of these conference speeches. He's actually cutting through, receiving way more applause than Ron DeSantis or any of the other candidates. He makes a lot of sense. I think personally, I think he would make a great commerce secretary or something like that. But Vivek is actually running a pretty coherent and successful campaign from where he started from. He's gone up and from where Ron has started from, he's gone down. So let's get back to that long game thing, right? The long game isn't there. There is no long game to be played right now. So he's treating the donor class even that he has his begging bowl out for. He's treating them with contempt. He's effectively telling them you're stupid. And I believe that you don't know how this all works. So I'm just going to tell you what I think is going to keep you on my side. The answer to your question is yes. They're already interviewing a number of different candidates out there who they think they could either get behind. I'm sure Doug Burgum would like to sit on the casting couch there. Glenn Youngkin certainly is. Mike Pence certainly wants to do that. There are others. I read this morning a hilarious article about how Chris Christie sees the path to victory ahead of him. So there's no shortage of people out there who would who would bend appropriately if a donor said so. Can Chris Christie see his toes? That's the first question. So so Rahim in closing here, 20 seconds remaining, Trump looks stronger than ever. And to his credit, he's doing the work Rahim final thoughts, 15 seconds. Chris Christie couldn't even see your toes if you were standing five foot away from him. That's my final thought on that. That's so true. And we're being mean, but honestly, he deserves it. So but we're out of time, Rahim National Pulse dot com. Look, Trump, to his credit, he's working his tail off. He's doing a lot of events, interviews. He is showing up. He's doing the work, spending time with President Trump at Benminster a week and a half ago. There is zero entitlement. He wants this. And I think he's going to earn it.

"Hey everybody, today on the Charlie Kirk Show, I give you my take on the viral conversation Tucker Carlson had with Andrew Tate. Paul Manafort also joins the program. And we talk with Raheem Kassam about Ron DeSantis and the state of the 2024 race. Support our program charliekirk.com slash support. Email us as always freedom at charliekirk.com. That's freedom at charliekirk.com. Get involved with Turning Point USA at tpusa.com. That is tpusa.com. Buckle up everybody. Here we go. Charlie, what you've done is incredible here. Maybe Charlie Kirk is on the college campus. I want you to know we are lucky to have Charlie Kirk. Charlie Kirk's running the White House folks. I want to thank Charlie. He's an incredible guy. 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. 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. That's why we are here. Brought to you by the loan experts I trust Andrew and Todd at Sierra Pacific Mortgage at Andrew and Todd dot com. The center of the conservative movement will be Saturday, Sunday in West Palm Beach, Florida. President Donald Trump, Tucker Carlson, Dan Bongino, Steve Bannon, Josh Hawley, J.D. Vance, Vivek Ramaswamy, Governor Asa Hutchinson, Mayor Suarez, and many others. But noticeably absent, we received a decline from Governor DeSantis. And here to make sense of it, Raheem Kassam, Raheem, who is not part of Turning Point, so maybe he can offer kind of an outsider's really kind of clear perspective here. Raheem, what am I missing? Why is why did Governor DeSantis decline our invitation to speak to six thousand grassroots super activists? Well, Charlie, thank you for having me. I'm sorry to have to talk about this issue because I know it's probably a particularly insulting one as far as you're concerned. I almost feel like I should be interviewing you about this. And and, you know, it's one of these things where you got to look like below the surface of this. I know a lot of people were speculating immediately that perhaps Ron DeSantis was worried about getting booed or jeered up on the stage. And my attitude towards that was, well, no, not really. I mean, it's a very welcoming audience. I've been to several of your events that people are never rude or churlish, especially to speakers that have been around on that circuit for years and years, as Governor DeSantis has been. And so I started to sort of think about, you know, what are the other pressures on the Florida governor at the moment that might be causing him to have to kind of park, to put it in a mild sense, snub is probably more more accurate and more representative of the insult that him and his campaign are doling out here towards those those grassroots activists. And what I came down to is this, DeSantis seems to be able to hop on a plane and get to a different part of the country almost every day to fundraise. There's no shortage of it. Yesterday, he was in Wisconsin doing a fundraiser with the Council on Foreign Relations, neoconservative AEI donor who used to give to Rahm Emanuel. And he has time for that. And he has time to go and see his donors in the Hamptons this coming week who are demanding that he explain why his campaign isn't got the momentum that, you know, they all promised it would have, especially if you give me two hundred million dollars, which people have done. And so I think this is probably coming down. Like actually coming down to what the campaign would refer to in newspeak as like scheduling clashes. Right. But what it really means is crisis talk. It's crisis and crunch talks with the donors. It's crisis and crunch talks about Iowa. It's crisis and crunch talks about why he's not making a move in the polls. And unfortunately, I think your event is getting the thin end of the wedge there. Yeah. And again, I don't want to play the victim. We have an amazing lineup here. But Rahim, it's I'm trying to understand the calculus of the DeSantis campaign. It's perplexing to me because you have voters that you have to win over. And by the way, we did a ton of events with Governor DeSantis last fall. Our audience is very fair. I see it completely differently. He if he wants to be the nominee, get in the arena and try to assert dominance. You know, buy a booth, do an influencer reception, try to win over the audience, open up questions. You know, Rahim, it's not just our students that are there. We have hundreds of pastors of mega churches that will be there. We have 500 donors. We have 10 billionaires that will be there. So it's not like there's no donors if that's a big priority. Every major media outlet will be there. 300 influencers will be there. But Rahim, I'm just trying to understand the calculus. And yes, we do consider it a little bit of a snub. And President Trump, to his credit, you know, attending is really something. Does it show you that that there's some sort of a plan that DeSantis has that we have not yet been read into, which is to kind of win the Chamber of Commerce primary first before actually speaking to donors? Because what I can say, Rahim, is what we are receiving from attendees and grassroots, hundreds of messages. People feel insulted that he is not attending this weekend. Yeah, I'm not surprised. I mean, the interesting part of it is that so many people may have been coming along in part to hear from Governor DeSantis. Right. Knowing that you would have and he's been at turning point events before, knowing that you have other presidential candidates up there probably thought like, hey, yeah, this is going to be a good time for me. You know, I've read so much about what's going on in the media or seen him on Fox all the time talking about this, that and the other. But I'd really like to get up close and personal and see, you know, maybe see if he's as awkward as people say he is. Maybe see if, you know, you can disprove some of those things by by meeting with a person, rubbing shoulders, shaking hands, all of the things that go on at political conferences. And to turn your back on that, like you said, this isn't just a student summit. There are there are thousands upon thousands of other leading people in the movement who will be attending your event. And it seems like that, OK. So Reuters today puts out a story that says Iowa is do or die for DeSantis. And this story appeared to be briefed by the DeSantis campaign. At least that's how it read. Right. People who know this world know what those stories tend to look like. And a source close to the campaign said this. Well, yeah, you just talked to the campaign and somebody didn't want to go on the record. So they are themselves now saying we are going to replicate the Ted Cruz strategy of 2016. Now, remember, Ted Cruz won Iowa, but also remember, Ted Cruz did not become the president of the United States. Ted Cruz lost the nomination. Ted Cruz was not the one up there on the debate stage against Hillary Clinton. And thank goodness for that, quite frankly, as much as Ted Cruz is good on some issues, he would have been no way near a candidate as strong as Donald Trump on that stage against Hillary Clinton. And so you look at who he's got behind him, DeSantis, right. Jeff Rowe, Axiom Strategies, that whole Cruz campaign team from back in 2015, 2016, and you go, oh, I see, you're just trying to do a redox. And the reason that they're spending more time fundraising rather than actually campaigning, which would involve turning up at your event, is because the consultant class want their big bucks paid out. What is this? No, finish your thought, please. Well, look, here's the other part of this that I've been saying for months now is that they're not running a populist campaign. They're not populists. The MAGA skin suit is about as much as they have offered to the Republican Party base in recent months. And sometimes it's not even that. They're putting together a new oligarchic establishment Republican donor class. And by the way, they're barely hyped. You can see when he goes to the Dominion Law Lawyers Office to fundraise, you can see when he uses Rahm Emanuel's old backers. You can see time and time and time again, Council on Foreign Relations, all of these guys. That's the team he's putting together. And that's not a populist way of campaigning. And maybe he's telling us something. Maybe he's letting us look. I'm not that much into you. So there's this story. I don't know how accurate it is, Raheem, that there's a kind of a crisis meeting in the Hamptons. Can you fill us in on that? I mean, I saw that you kind of broke that story, added some commentary to it. Yeah, that's right. Look, we were we were following up on a lot of the reporting that was done by Charlie Gasparino on the same issue earlier this week. And I think this story has gone around a little bit around the rumor mills, around the gossip mills. And it just came to a point where somebody was ready to report that out. And that's what that's what Gasparino did. So we pick up on the basis of that using my sourcing, the people I've spoken to. You'd be surprised at how many people down in Florida actually, you know, still still want to I say this as if you're on different sides, but reach out across the aisle of this Republican presidential primary and talk about what's going on and what needs to be fixed and the problems that are manifesting themselves down in Tallahassee at this current point in time. And so, yeah, it looks like at some point over the next few days, DeSantis and perhaps some key members of his team, his inner circle are going to be in Southampton, in the Hamptons in New York, and having to explain to some quite quite peeved donors like, hey, where is our money actually going? Because you have moved in the polls, you've moved downwards in the polls. So what's going on? You know, are we are we going to be supporting you in the future? Tell us what the plan is. And of course, the brief plan back to that is, you know, we're playing the long game. Well, let's get into the let's get into the I want to I want to get into the detail about that. And also just, you know, Trump standing in the party, I got in a little bit of a heated conversation with DeSantis donor the other day, and that's fine, like, he has a right to do that. And he's like, oh, Trump's going to lose the nomination. I don't know one person that's voting for Trump. So, yeah, you live in Aspen, okay, like just you live in Aspen, okay, you live in Aspen.

It's crisis and crunch talks with the donors. It's crisis and crunch talks about Iowa. It's crisis and crunch talks about why he's not making a move in the polls. And unfortunately, I think your event is getting the thin end of the wedge there. Yeah. And again, I don't want to play the victim. We have an amazing lineup here. But Rahim, it's I'm trying to understand the calculus of the DeSantis campaign. It's perplexing to me because you have voters that you have to win over. And by the way, we did a ton of events with Governor DeSantis last fall. Our audience is very fair. I see it completely differently. He if he wants to be the nominee, get in the arena and try to assert dominance. You know, buy a booth, do an influencer reception, try to win over the audience, open up questions. You know, Rahim, it's not just our students that are there. We have hundreds of pastors of mega churches that will be there. We have 500 donors. We have 10 billionaires that will be there. So it's not like there's no donors if that's a big priority. Every major media outlet will be there. 300 influencers will be there. But Rahim, I'm just trying to understand the calculus. And yes, we do consider it a little bit of a snub. And President Trump, to his credit, you know, attending is really something. Does it show you that that there's some sort of a plan that DeSantis has that we have not yet been read into, which is to kind of win the Chamber of Commerce primary first before actually speaking to donors? Because what I can say, Rahim, is what we are receiving from attendees and grassroots, hundreds of messages. People feel insulted that he is not attending this weekend. Yeah, I'm not surprised. I mean, the interesting part of it is that so many people may have been coming along in part to hear from Governor DeSantis. Right. Knowing that you would have and he's been at turning point events before, knowing that you have other presidential candidates up there probably thought like, hey, yeah, this is going to be a good time for me. You know, I've read so much about what's going on in the media or seen him on Fox all the time talking about this, that and the other. But I'd really like to get up close and personal and see, you know, maybe see if he's as awkward as people say he is. Maybe see if, you know, you can disprove some of those things by by meeting with a person, rubbing shoulders, shaking hands, all of the things that go on at political conferences. And to turn your back on that, like you said, this isn't just a student summit. There are there are thousands upon thousands of other leading people in the movement who will be attending your event. And it seems like that, OK. So Reuters today puts out a story that says Iowa is do or die for DeSantis. And this story appeared to be briefed by the DeSantis campaign. At least that's how it read. Right. People who know this world know what those stories tend to look like. And a source close to the campaign said this. Well, yeah, you just talked to the campaign and somebody didn't want to go on the record. So they are themselves now saying we are going to replicate the Ted Cruz strategy of 2016. Now, remember, Ted Cruz won Iowa, but also remember, Ted Cruz did not become the president of the United States. Ted Cruz lost the nomination. Ted Cruz was not the one up there on the debate stage against Hillary Clinton. And thank goodness for that, quite frankly, as much as Ted Cruz is good on some issues, he would have been no way near a candidate as strong as Donald Trump on that stage against Hillary Clinton. And so you look at who he's got behind him, DeSantis, right. Jeff Rowe, Axiom Strategies, that whole Cruz campaign team from back in 2015, 2016, and you go, oh, I see, you're just trying to do a redox. And the reason that they're spending more time fundraising rather than actually campaigning, which would involve turning up at your event, is because the consultant class want their big bucks paid out. What is this? No, finish your thought, please. Well, look, here's the other part of this that I've been saying for months now is that they're not running a populist campaign. They're not populists. The MAGA skin suit is about as much as they have offered to the Republican Party base in recent months. And sometimes it's not even that. They're putting together a new oligarchic establishment Republican donor class. And by the way, they're barely hyped. You can see when he goes to the Dominion Law Lawyers Office to fundraise, you can see when he uses Rahm Emanuel's old backers. You can see time and time and time again, Council on Foreign Relations, all of these guys. That's the team he's putting together. And that's not a populist way of campaigning. And maybe he's telling us something. Maybe he's letting us look. I'm not that much into you. So there's this story. I don't know how accurate it is, Raheem, that there's a kind of a crisis meeting in the Hamptons. Can you fill us in on that? I mean, I saw that you kind of broke that story, added some commentary to it. Yeah, that's right. Look, we were we were following up on a lot of the reporting that was done by Charlie Gasparino on the same issue earlier this week. And I think this story has gone around a little bit around the rumor mills, around the gossip mills. And it just came to a point where somebody was ready to report that out. And that's what that's what Gasparino did. So we pick up on the basis of that using my sourcing, the people I've spoken to. You'd be surprised at how many people down in Florida actually, you know, still still want to I say this as if you're on different sides, but reach out across the aisle of this Republican presidential primary and talk about what's going on and what needs to be fixed and the problems that are manifesting themselves down in Tallahassee at this current point in time. And so, yeah, it looks like at some point over the next few days, DeSantis and perhaps some key members of his team, his inner circle are going to be in Southampton, in the Hamptons in New York, and having to explain to some quite quite peeved donors like, hey, where is our money actually going? Because you have moved in the polls, you've moved downwards in the polls. So what's going on? You know, are we are we going to be supporting you in the future? Tell us what the plan is. And of course, the brief plan back to that is, you know, we're playing the long game. Well, let's get into the let's get into the I want to I want to get into the detail about that. And also just, you know, Trump standing in the party, I got in a little bit of a heated conversation with DeSantis donor the other day, and that's fine, like, he has a right to do that. And he's like, oh, Trump's going to lose the nomination. I don't know one person that's voting for Trump. So, yeah, you live in Aspen, okay, like just you live in Aspen, okay, you live in Aspen.

Just the News: Congress Unmasks a Multi-Year Plot to Protect Biden
"Executed immediately. When IRS agents found a similar storage area containing evidence and Hunter Biden criminal tax probe, they were denied the right to search despite meeting the probable cause standard. Then Biden's lawyers were tipped off according to the New Congressional Testament. They were given a heads up and the was search blocked. Now the people who are talking to Congress are Republican not operatives. They are careerists out of the IRS. They are serious people who put their careers on the line to become whistleblowers. I'm seeing more and more America just over the last week, just since my Sunday and I want to congratulate the backbenchers, whether they be on radio or elsewhere. It is the time. Press this. This is a Democrat Party mob. It is a Democrat Party agenda. That's what's taking place here. The party government, the state party. Likewise, when federal prosecutors believed there was evidence of crimes at Trump's Mar -a -Lago, they launched an unprecedented and full -scale raid on the former president. But when agents wanted to execute a search warrant at Joe Biden's Delaware home, because they had probable cause to believe evidence of Hunter Biden tax crimes, again, they were turned down for a warrant to raid the guest house which the first son was living. They got their other warrants. They got their warrant against Paul Manafort. They got their warrant against Trump. But no warrant.

"I got an amazing idea. Let's get his campaign manager right now. Paul Manafort, let's go pinch this guy and make pretend that this guy is giving secret sensitive information to a Russian spy. That sounds bad. That sounds really terrible. Secret sensitive information to a Russian spy, my gosh. Matter of fact, they are so locked into this narrative now about Trump's campaign manager Manafort. Working with this Russian spy that in January 1 of 2017, no, of this year. Sleaze balls scum of the earth, Adam Schiff is still promoting this fairytale that Manafort was giving secret information for the Russians. Yeah, I want you to listen. This is, I don't know, whatever. Two. Sorry. Thanks, Jim. So many cuts that I can't even count. It's cut to. Here is Adam Schiff. In January of this year, still promoting this fairytale. That Trump is working with the Russian and I think Manafort's working with the Russian intelligence sources. Check this out. You said that there was direct evidence of the fact that Donald Trump colluded with Russia back in 2016. Special counsel Robert Mueller said in his report quote, the investigation did not establish that members of the Trump campaign conspired or coordinated with the Russian government. Republicans argue that's proof that you used your position on the intelligence committee to intentionally mislead Americans, which is why you should not be on that committee. Well, if you read the Mueller report, he makes clear even in the first few pages of the report that he states no conclusion on whether Donald Trump and his campaign colluded with the Russians, but what he does reveal in his report what we found in our investigation is that Donald Trump's campaign manager was sharing internal campaign polling data and the strategy for key battleground states with an agent of Russian intelligence, while that same unit of Russian intelligence was helping the Trump campaign. Okay, a couple things. Number one, Adam Schiff just made that up. That the Mueller report drew no conclusions. Mueller, this is the crazy part. The Mueller, the entire Mueller investigation, was run by Andrew weissman, who knew in August of 2016, I'll get to that again in a minute, spoke about it before. He was briefed in August of 2016, this whole thing was fake and was a Clinton political hit job. The fact that weissman put together the report for Mueller and they still at the end could not provide a shred of evidence and they indicate that any member of the Trump campaign or any American colluded that they knew about interfere in the election. You see, you could go and read that yourself, liberals won't conservatives already know that. Liberals just believe Adam Schiff because liberals are straight up stupid. They are just morons. It doesn't matter what you tell them. That's why expect no apologies, no walk backs. We are dealing with straight up imbeciles or tyrants. There's no option C forget them. A bunch of people are upset and you say, oh, the media to finally gonna have to, but they are never going to apologize. Ever. That is not what liberals do. They are tyrants by nature. They don't care that they tried to frame a U.S. president and engage in a coup. They don't care. They will do it again. But it's not just the chip lied about that. Shift continues to lie about this guy Constantine kilimnik who was talking to Manafort. Who I'm actually stunned is not suit Adam Schiff by now. Saying he's a Russian intelligence operative. Ladies and gentlemen, if the guy Manafort was talking to, Constantine can eliminate, is a Russian intelligence asset, then why was the Obama administration dealing with him in 2013? The hill, John Solomon, June 6th, 2019. Key figure in the Mueller report linked to Russia was a State Department Intel source. They note that kilimnik was a sensitive intelligence source for the State Department going back to 2013. While he was still working for Manafort, strange how nothing happened then during the Obama administration. By the way, that's according to FBI and State Department memos, Solomon reviewed himself. And by the way, kilimnik wasn't just any run of the mill source notes, he interacted with the chief political officer at the U.S. embassy in Kyiv. Sometimes meeting several times a week to provide information on the Ukraine government. He relayed messages back to Ukraine's leaders and delivered written reports to U.S. officials via emails that stretched on for thousands of words the memo show. So not only is Adam Schiff entirely lying about the Mueller report, he's claiming ridiculously in absurdly that Paul Manafort was dealing with a Russian spy who was dealing with the Obama State Department for years sending tons of emails and thousands of words. Why wasn't the Russian spy cut off back then? The answer is because he wasn't a Russian spy. What do you mean, Dan? They made it up. Yeah, they made it up. Folks, they made everything up. I got FBI agent former FBI agent Kyle seraphin coming up at the top of the next hour. He had a loaded guest show today to talk about this and what it must have looked like from the inside of the FBI. But in the next segment of the show, I want to just close this out. We're not done with the middle. The middle part was the framing where they had a frame people because the beginning part of the story was totally made up. The end here, however, is don't expect any apologies. Don't expect any walk back from Obama. Don't expect any accountability on the media side at all. Liberals liberals

"Here's Dan ladden hall Daily yeast Manafort owns up to passing campaign data to a suspected Russian agent Notice how Adam Schiff and Clint watts never mention a name Now the yeast mentions the name here Donald Trump's 2016 campaign chairman Paul Manafort on Monday publicly admitted he gave polling data to Constantine kilimnik a suspected Russian intelligence asset What Wow That sounds really bad Now that did happen Paul Manafort did admit to that But who's Constantine kilimnik He gave him polling data Well I like the same polling of data that already appeared in The Washington Post and stuff So I'm not apologizing for Paul Manafort I'm just telling you the truth Who's Constantine kilimnik Because it seems like someone else gave Constantine kilimnik a whole lot more access Wouldn't you know it It's the freaking Obama administration Again what What's that stuff on your face Oh I was cleaning the chimney We don't have a chimney

Spent God only knows how many rubles on this process to get Donald Trump elected and that's exactly why they engaged in that campaign. It wasn't to help Hillary. That's for fucking sure. This is all designed to help Donald Trump win that election. We have case after case, listed by Robert Mueller's report of collusion after collusion after collusion. We know for a fact that Paul Manafort was colluding with Constantine kilimnik in Ukraine, by the way, and Constantine kilimnik was a fixer, a go between between Manafort and Oleg deripaska, who's a close friend of Vladimir Putin. And so there's one of many examples. Mike Flynn, you know, what else? I was trying to think of, by the way, the radio Sputnik, the state sponsored radio network out of Russia. Is still on the air in Washington, D.C.. Just wanted to add that. There are countless examples of Russian support for right wing causes inside the United States. This has been going on for many, many years now. And it hasn't been limited to the United States either. So to suggest that there was no collusion, if you're just repeating the fucking bullshit, you might as well just say Trump steaks are the world's greatest stakes. That's because you're just repeating what Donald Trump shits out while he's tweeting on the John. Whoever this is that you're fighting with John.

Sound familiar, doesn't it? It does. You know, it's so interesting and I'm so happy that you came on the show today, Craig. So if Trump were president, let's just take this horrific thought and put it in our minds just for a brief moment. If Trump was president, would Putin have attacked the Ukraine. You know, I think would have looked much, much differently. And I think he would have definitely gone after Ukraine, but you can see that he may well have done it from the inside. And it would have been much, much easier to do it from the inside. It's really important. You know, one guy who hasn't served them, not to discuss it with Paul Manafort. And Paul Manafort, of course, was Trump's campaign manager. But going way back again to 1980 when he first became friends with Donald Trump, Manafort and Roger Stone were known as part of the torturers lobby. And they were K street lobbyists in Washington. And their clients included all these rich torturers dictators from all over the world are Ferdinand Marcos in the Philippines and so forth. And starting in, I believe it was 2000 and the early 2000s Manafort took on his green client, Vladimir Putin. And he started working out of Ukraine and he started working for Victor Yanukovych, who was elected,.

"So I guess Adam Schiff thought he was on the view and it was a safe space for him or whatever it is was he being micro aggressive or what But Morgan ortegas was having none of it So she asked him about his constant promotion of the dossier I want you to keep in mind as you're listening to this Keep this clearly in mind That Adam Schiff and I am quoting him directly please go to the Internet and double check me Always Double check everything I tell you Adam Schiff had said repeatedly that there was smoking gun evidence that Trump had colluded with the Russians We now know that whatever Adam's shift said was evidence was in fact nonsense created by the Clinton campaign And notice how he doesn't apologize I want you to notice here he throws out another debunk conspiracy theory that Paul Manafort was dealing with a Russian intelligence agent Constantine kilimnik That's who he's talking about in this cut Constant the kilimnik was in fact a source for the Obama administration too So if Paul Manafort was dealing with some Russian spy then we have a damage assessment to do about the Biden Obama Biden administration which had trusted this guy This is a great clip Did you cut it into two No the whole thing Okay all right play that cut And let's not forget what we learned in that investigation We learned that the Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort was giving internal polling data campaign polling data to Russian intelligence while Russian intelligence was helping the Trump to be clear if he was fired halfway through the campaign Well he may have been fired Yeah But the effort to get Russian help continued and even beyond the effort to get Russian help But you made president information yourself for years by promoting this I think that's what Republicans and what people who entrusted you as they Intel committee chair are so confused about your culpability in all of this Well I completely disagree with your premise It's one thing to say allegations should be investigated and they work It's another to say that we should have foreseen an advance that some people were lying to Christopher Steele which is impossible of course to do But let's not use that as a smokescreen to somehow shield Donald Trump's culpability for inviting Russia to help him in the election which they did for trying to course Ukraine into helping him in the next election Which he did into inciting an erection insurrection which he did None of that is undercut None of that serious misconduct is in any way diminished by the fact that people lie to Christopher Steele No I think just your credibility is Did he say Donald Trump was inciting an erection You would like to say that on the radio Yeah I thought I heard that right Adam get your head out of the gutter Get your head out of the gutter you slob Disgusting Adam Schiff it's gross Talk like that on the radio But notice how he continues to parrot fairytales that no one could have possibly known Christopher Steele was lying Really Because the FBI as of January of 2017 when they interviewed Christopher Steele determined that Christopher Steele was in fact

"It's Brian Kilmeade. He pioneered all of the ways of manipulating the system and perhaps gaming the system and dealing with banks and tax authorities and slippery ways. So he knows all of the techniques that have been used. He knows all the potential crimes that they have been committed. He must be feeling just like one of the family. And what's interesting is that he is probably the one person outside the family that Donald Trump trusted. That is Michael D. Antonio and Michael is the author of This book, The Truth about Trump and his his observation of what he saw about Alan Wisenberg. Who was, I guess a rain today or indicted today, officially along with the Trump organization. What does it actually mean from the legal perspective, especially with the Manhattan district attorney's office doing it? Andrew McCarthy would know. Here's the former assistant U. S attorney for the Southern District of New York. And Fox News contributor. Andy Was this a bad day for President Trump. Could this be a day that he was expecting? That could have been worse. Yeah, I think it's I mean, it's never a good day when, when something that's called the Trump. Company of the Trump Organization is going to be charged along with its CFL. So you know, you know in viewed in that lens. It's never a good day when something like that happens, but given What was expected here and the fact that you know this is side Vance's white whale as I've been writing about at National Review today, um, in the sense that he's been pursuing trump, not white Silberg, not the Trump organization, Donald Trump. For years and you know, with with respect to Mr D. Antoni, Um, you know, it's one thing to have someone like y Silberg who can tell you're all of the ins and outs of how the Trump organization. Of operates in terms of its financial practices. It's quite another thing to have What, uh, so advanced as the Manhattan D A. Which is the records? You know if there's a case against Trump, he spent three years going up and down to the Supreme Court twice to get years of Donald Trump's financial record, And that's on top of having an investigation, which has been geared toward decades of the Trump Organization's criminal practices. And so far, they've the only thing they've been able to come up with. Is that they didn't pay taxes on corporate parks, like, you know, tuition for for kids and company cars and that kind of stuff. It's no wonder Brian that the federal prosecutors didn't seem Interested in this case when I was in the Southern District of New York, the federal prosecutor's office in Manhattan, Um, we would never have set by and done nothing while the Manhattan Da's office Went after a big fish case that involves supposed You know, federal felonies like bank fraud and tax fraud and the like. It's no wonder they weren't particularly interested in this guy. So naive question. Having not done your job, But could you be ramping up? Do you ever start slow? Do you ever start low knowing where you're going? Knowing what Or is it? Do you have more in your in your quiver? In other words, Every case is different. But you know the thing with Trump Brian, I don't want to say that you never start that way. But, you know We've We've kind of been there done that. What they're doing to Weisberg is not from what I could detect is not even a little bit different from what Mueller did with Paul Manafort. The idea was to get somebody who is in the middle of everything and must have the goods on trump and will squeeze him until he finally says uncle and gives us something and, you know, they squeeze them as much as you could, you know, try to squeeze of stone and they got nothing. And that doesn't mean that Donald Trump is a great guy. But you know, Trump's had good legal advice his whole life. He talked about Roy Cohn all the time when you know Roy Cohn was a notorious figure, but he's a very good, very sharp lawyer, and I think Trump knows how to do sharp business practices. Without necessarily getting himself into, you know, Felonious. Bad behavior kind of conduct. So the problem the Democrats have inside Vance is no different, Uh, is that they want to have the trump of their imagination rather than the Trump, who exists, which is the Trump will exist simply is not a master criminal. That doesn't mean he's nature's noblemen. But he's just not What they imagine them to be, And I think the real danger for Democrats here is the district attorney's, including Vance's office of New York are turning a blind eye while the city is going up in flames. Violent crime is skyrocketing. And they won't even prosecute the people who were involved in the violent rioting last summer, which where cops got assaulted badly and business has got destroyed and the like, And yet they're scorching the Earth to make a tax case on Trump's CFO. Pure politics, spending three years. Unbelievable. Financial Andy. I feel the same way. If they were going after Clinton, Obama or Bush, for things had nothing to do with them being president. This is pure targeting. They're saying I'm good from my point of view. And you're you're not shy about stopping me if I'm mischaracterizing, so I don't want you to get shy now, But from my my point of view Just saying I got to find something wrong with him because we hate him. Don't want to run for president. I hate this guy. We've got to find something wrong. So who what would my Michael Cohen's back and forth eight times. Eight times minimum, he says. It's just beginning really, just beginning. All right..

"Hartman program. My books at any time Harvard Book Club is Michael Lewis's new book, The Fifth Risk. And this is from the prologue. Which is titled Lost in Transition, Chris Christie noticed a piece in The New York Times. That's how it all started. The New Jersey governor had dropped out of the presidential race in February, 2016 and thrown what support he had. Behind Donald Trump. In late April, he saw the article. It described meetings between representatives of the remaining candidates still in the race. Trump, John Casey, Ted Cruz, Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders. And the Obama White House. Anybody who's still had any kind of shot at becoming president of the United States apparently needed to start preparing to run the federal government. The guy Trump sent to the meeting was in Christie's estimations, comically Underqualified. Christy called up Trump's campaign manager, Corey Lewandowski, to ask why this critical job hadn't been had handed to someone who actually knew something about government. Lewandowski said. We don't have anyone. Christie volunteered himself for the job head of the Donald Trump presidential transition team. It's the next best thing to being president. He told friends. You get to plan the presidency. You went to see Trump about it. Trump didn't want a said he didn't want a presidential transition team. Why did anyone need to plan anything before he actually became president? It's legally required, said Christie. Trump Asked where the money was going to come from to pay for the transition team. Christie explained that Trump could either paid it for himself for taking on a campaign funds. Jump didn't want to pay for it himself, and he didn't want to take it out of campaign funds, either. But he agreed grudgingly. Christie could go ahead and raise a separate fund to pay for his transition team, but not too much, she said. And so Christie set out to prepare for the unlikely event that Donald Trump would one day be elected president of the United States. Not everyone in Trump's campaign was happy to see him on the job. In June, Christy received a note from Trump Advisor Paul Manafort. Kid is paranoid about your Manafort said The kid was Jared Kushner, Trump's son in law Back in 2005 when he was U. S attorney for the District of Nature of New Jersey, Christie had prosecuted and jailed Kushner's father, Charles for tax fraud. Christy's investigation revealed in the bargain that Charles Kushner had hired a prostitute to seduce his own brother in law, whom he suspected of cooperating with Christy and videotape the sexual encounter and sent the tape to his sister. Questions apparently took their grudges seriously and Christy sense the Jared still harbored one against him. The other hand, Trump from Christie, considered almost a friend couldn't have cared less. He'd invited Kristi to his in Melania's wedding, and he pressed him to attend it. His daughter Ivanka and Jared Kushner's wedding. The awkward, said Christie. I'm paying for the wedding and I don't give a NASA said Donald Christie view. Jared is one of those people who thinks that because he's rich, he must also be smart. Still, he had a certain cunning about him. Christie soon found himself reporting everything he did to prepare for a Trump administration to an executive committee. Committee consistent of Jared Ivanka Trump, Donald Trump Jr. Eric Trump, Paul Manafort, Steve Mnuchin and Jeff Sessions. I'm kind of like the church Elder, who double counts the collection plate every Sunday for the pastor, said sessions who appeared uncomfortable with the entire situation. The elders job became more complicated. In July 2016. When Trump was formerly named the Republican nominee. The transition team now moved into an office in downtown Washington, D C and went looking for people to occupy the top 500 jobs in the federal government. They needed to fill all of the cabinet positions, of course, but also a whole bunch of others that no one in the Trump campaign even knew existed. It's not obvious how you how you find the next secretary of state, much less the next secretary transformation importation, Never mind who should sit on the board of trustees in the very Goldwater Scholarship and Excellence in Education Foundation. By August, 130 people were showing up every day and hundreds more working part time at Trump transition headquarters of the quarter corner of 17th Street and Pennsylvania Avenue. Transition team made list of likely candidates for all 500 jobs, plus other lists of informed people to roll into the various federal agencies the day after the election to be briefed on whatever the federal agencies were doing. Gather the names for these lists by traveling the country and talking to people Republicans who had served in government Trump's closest advisers, recent occupants of the jobs that needed filling Then they set about investigating any candidates for glaring flaws, embarrassing secrets and conflicts of interest. At the end of each week, Christy handed over binders with lists of names of people who might do the job well to Jared and Donald and Eric and the others. They probed everything, says a senior trump transition. Official. Who is this person where this person come from? They only ever rejected one person. Paul Manafort, secretary the first time Donald Trump paid attention any of this was when he read about it in the newspaper. The story revealed that Trump's very own transition team led by New Jersey governor Chris Christie. Raise several million dollars to pay for its own staff. The moment he saw its Trump called Steve Bannon, the chief executive of his campaign from his office on the 26th floor of Trump Tower and told her to come immediately to his residents, many floors above Van and stepped off the elevator to find the governor of New Jersey seated on a sofa being hollered at Trump was at hope.

Bannen and Christy together, set out to explain to trump Federal law. Months continues.
