Did Communists Infiltrate the FBI? A Former Special Agent Speaks Out
After Mikhail Gorbachev’s passing yesterday, Charlie spends some time reflecting on the lessons we can all learn from his life. He’s also joined by former FBI Special Agent John Guandolo, who exposes, in his words, the communist infiltration of the Bureau, and can tell us from his first hand account— it’s going downhill faster than anyone can imagine. Next, Alina Habba, one of President Trump’s personal attorneys joins Charlie to make sense some of the confusion behind the Presidential Records Act, the latest FBI filing, clarify the Former President’s current legal standing, and give an insider’s account of what their next moves will be. You won’t want to miss this.Support the show: http://www.charliekirk.com/supportSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Turning Point USA Election Smugness00:05:58
Hey everybody, today in the Charlie Kirk Show, President Trump's lawyer joins us.
A former FBI agent joins us.
We talk about the death of Mikhail Gorbachev and more.
Email me your thoughts as always, freedom at charliekirk.com.
Support the Charlie Kirk Show at charliekirk.com/slash support and get involved with Turning Point USA today at tpusa.com.
That is tpusa.com.
As always, you can email me your thoughts as always, freedom at charliekirk.com.
That's freedom at charliekirk.com.
Buckle up, everybody.
Here we go.
Charlie, what you've done is incredible here.
Maybe Charlie Kirk is on the college campuses.
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 andrewandTodd.com.
Making global headlines at this hour, we have learned this evening that Mikhail Gorbachev has died, the last leader of the Soviet Union who helped end the Cold War and the threat of nuclear war.
They buried the Hunter Biden story before the election because they were like, we can't risk having the election thrown to Trump.
We'll tell them after the election.
And we know for a fact that that's what they did.
Of course.
You know, but I'm saying you know for a fact that that's what they did.
I don't know what they did.
I know, because you only watch MSNBC.
That's the truth.
That's the truth.
Well, then you would know about this.
We've been asking for more information.
So now you have this photograph around.
And in a way, it looks like that this is just how they found the documents and lying all over the floor.
Well, the impression I got is that it was a public relations effort.
This is not needed in a court document to make the case to the sitting judge.
This was put out there knowing that they were going to go out there to the media.
And I would love to see on the far right side there, there's framed photos of Donald Trump on the cover of Time magazine.
What in the world does that have to do with these idea that there are classified documents?
What's Donald Trump doing?
He is circulating QAnon conspiracy theories on social media.
QAnon conspiracy theories on the same day Joe Biden is saying, bring it in, Republicans.
You all are being extremists.
Come on.
This is.
This is a turning point.
I mean, they have this factual recitation has him dead to rights.
This is a curious one because typically, if you're going to do a damage assessment, you know that something bad has already happened.
I don't mean somebody storing documents improperly.
I mean, for example, a spy giving away documents to the Russians.
And for those brave right-wing Americans who say it's all about keeping America, you're keeping America independent and safe.
If you want to fight against the country, you need an F-15.
You need something a little more than a gun.
Welcome, everybody.
As we just played a couple clips there as we frame our conversation today.
As always, you can email us your thoughts, freedom at charliekirk.com.
There is some breaking news that happened last evening of the Department of Justice that just released a filing of a picture of documents from our Lago seemingly just kind of spread all across the floor.
It is very clear that our prediction on Monday is becoming true.
This is the Department of Justice sending a clear and obvious and intentional message towards Donald Trump and his allies and towards you that the fourth branch of government is not going to take it anymore.
That the fourth branch of government, the unelected, unknown, unchecked power apparatus, is going for it.
They know they're unpopular.
They know they do not have a constituency.
They want to be the few ruling the many.
They want to destroy the idea of the many ruling the few.
What is it in this picture exactly?
Well, the administrative state posts this picture of documents all across the floor.
Nothing necessarily telling there, but there's two big things, and you have to look a little deeper for there.
The first of which is an intentional placement of a Time magazine cover.
Now, look, they knew that this was going to go viral.
They knew that this was going to be examined through every single way.
Picture of Donald Trump with all the Democrat candidates looking outside of the window, and it says knock-knock.
This is back from March of 2019.
Get it?
Knock-knock.
Like we're knocking on your door on home.
No mistake that that was put in there.
Now, this is not for the purpose of the judge.
This is simply and solely for a public relations move.
This was designed with the sole intent to try to chill dissent.
It's so smug.
It's so arrogant.
The FBI no longer even tries to hide their political bias.
And I'm going to say this again: they're going for it.
They're going for an indictment of Donald Trump.
I wish that was not the case.
I wish that it was kind of like the Mueller investigation.
I wish it was like all these other ones.
Instead, I think they're going to create a crime out of thin air because they are so afraid of what 2024 is going to hold and what the midterms will hold.
We're going to get into this latest court filing from the Department of Justice, which is nothing more than a flagrant, a smug political move against Donald Trump.
But I want to start with a different piece of news.
I actually want to honor one of the great men that lived in the 20th century, and I actually think it can be rather instructive of exactly what is in front of us right now and what we need to help solve our problems here domestically.
Peace Through Strength Against The Left00:07:28
Yesterday, Mikhail Gorbachev passed away.
Now, for many young people out there, they have no idea who Gorbachev is.
In fact, I was talking to some young people recently.
I said, oh, you know, tell me about the Soviet Union.
Never heard of the Soviet Union.
In high school, never heard of the Soviet Union.
They don't learn that stuff in school anymore.
Now, Gorbachev was a very special leader.
Gorbachev, by all estimates, was ethical and full of integrity in a country that was basically run by thugs and criminals and was nothing more than a massive cartel enterprise.
Now, Gorbachev was met with a fair amount of anti-Soviet Union protests, and he was one of the first people not to crack down on the anti-communist, anti-totalitarian protest with force.
Now, Gorbachev is not totally beloved in Eastern Europe.
He's not.
In fact, Vladimir Putin has said many times that one of the greatest mistakes that Russia ever made was the dissolution of the Soviet Union, brokered by Gorbachev.
Gorbachev ended the Cold War.
And yes, Gorbachev was outmaneuvered and out-strategized by Reagan, but he was always inclined towards peace.
Gorbachev was probably too good of a person to run the Soviet Union.
And he did bring a lot, he brought a movement of sovereignty in Estonia and Lithuania and Latvia, in the Balkan Peninsula.
The Soviet Union was a far-reaching, totalitarian, communist blanket over the eastern part of Europe.
And a lot of that has broken up, and Russia is doing their best job to try to recreate that, albeit very difficult and clumsily, and at a very, very high cost.
But Gorbachev was a realist, but Gorbachev wanted peace.
And if I look right now at our struggle against the American left, if I look at the totalitarians that run the administrative state in our own country, I say, boy, do we need a Gorbachev of the Democrat Party?
We need someone that wants peace, that doesn't want to have this endless conflict that calls us semi-fascists.
You see, Gorbachev was not loved by his base.
Gorbachev got done what needed to get done.
He liberated many of these countries.
He restored private property rights, consent to the government.
And of course, the gangsters took over not too long after.
But there's no doubt that the standard and quality of life in many parts of Eastern Europe have improved dramatically thanks to the moves of Mikhail Gorbachev, one of the most important people to live in the 20th century, worked well with Reagan, understood the necessity of markets and of decentralized power.
But if I look at our struggle right now against what could be called the administrative state, the fourth branch of government, the shadow government, the deep state, I ask ourselves, we have to ask ourselves, where's the Gorbachev of the left?
And there is no.
There is no one.
Someone that recognizes that this endless struggle between the two incumbent factions is not going to end well.
Instead, Joe Biden goes out and taunts conservatives, saying that if you really are going to want to fight your government, you're going to need F-15s.
Hold on a second.
We never say we want to fight our government.
We said that, God forbid, we're ever going to have to push back against a usurptatious, tyrannical government, of which the 20th century had plenty of examples of.
Then that is what the Second Amendment is designed for.
We've been very clear on the program.
That's what the founding fathers wrote the Second Amendment for.
That's why the Second Amendment exists, to protect all the other amendments.
Does it make people feel good to hear that?
It's just true.
Where is the Democrat that actually wants peace?
The thing is, we on the right would love it.
We want to live in the country.
We want to live in an America where we are not at each other's throats all the time.
That is the heart of your modern conservative.
That is the heart of your mega conservative.
You talk to a mega conservative, they would love to go back to the country of the 1980s and 1990s, where we didn't talk about politics all the time.
But if you even say that, you are called a racist and a fascist by your government, by the left-wing regime.
You see, because leftists find their identity, they find their meaning in their activist causes.
We as conservatives only use politics as an unfortunate necessity as a means to the end to protect our meaning.
Politics is not our meaning.
Family, business, maybe a local small business, church, your relationship with the divine is far more important than politics.
Gorbachev in the 1980s and 90s showed us a way that peace is possible.
And for many young people, they don't teach about the Soviet Union in school at all because the Soviet Union shows exactly where the modern left wants to take us.
You can read the Gulag Archipelago.
You could read Darkness at Noon by Arthur Kessler.
Whether it be the secret police, the KGB, gulags, forced confiscation of property, the Kulaks, the lessons from the Russian Revolution from Lenin to Trotsky, to the assassination of General Tukhachevsky, to Joseph Stalin.
Russian and Soviet history is instructive to exactly what they're trying to do here.
Here's Joe Biden joking about conservatives who want to have firearms to potentially protect themselves against tyranny.
This is the way that Joseph Stalin would talk.
Play Cut 42.
Brave right-wing Americans who say it's all about keeping America, you're keeping America's independent and safe.
If you want to fight against the country, you need an F-15.
You need something a little more than a gun.
What an irresponsible thing to say.
He's basically saying, okay, if you want to be able to have firearms to protect yourself against potential tyranny, of which happened in the National Socialist Worker Party in Germany, of which happened in Vietnam, which happened in Cambodia, which happened in communist China, which happened in Korea, death camps in every hemisphere, everywhere, of the government terrorizing their citizens.
Joe Biden is taunting you and baiting you.
And you say, boy, where is the Gorbachev of the American left?
Where is someone that's trying to actually bring down the temperatures?
And that was the brilliance of Gorbachev.
He cared so deeply about his people.
He was willing to sacrifice ideology for humanity.
That's the lesson.
Whereas the American left, they elevate ideology over humanity.
Power is all that matters to them.
And Joe Biden thinks that, I mean, Joe Biden's been on this PR campaign recently, and he has just been going after conservatives and Republicans, taunting, baiting, trying to poke you in the eye.
And I've said many times that absent a Gorbachev on the left, the only way that we defeat the left is we defeat the left.
They're only stopped when they will only stop when they're stopped.
And this is the truth that conservatives do not want.
And guess what?
That's the lesson from Ronald Reagan, too, with Gorbachev.
Magnesium Deficiency And Political Power00:03:22
Peace through strength.
We get peace against the left if we are strong and they respect us.
Gorbachev wanted to seek peace against America because he feared America.
Does the American left fear conservatives?
Gorbachev was the last of a statesman leader.
We now deal with thugs and criminals, both in our government and internationally.
A legend has passed away.
It's one of the great men to live in the 20th century.
I just hope that we can learn the proper lessons.
We live in a more peaceful society thanks to his leadership, but it only happened because of American strength.
Hey, everyone, Charlie here.
It's hard to overstate how important magnesium is for all aspects of our health.
Everyone talks about how critical magnesium is for us.
Dr. Hyman, Andrew Huberman, and all sorts of industry leaders.
I love Andrew Huberman.
There's a long list of symptoms and diseases that can be treated and even cured with magnesium.
In fact, way back when magnesium was a critical element for a cure, doctors use magnesium for all kinds of conditions, from arrhythmia to constipation to preeclampsia and even seizures.
For some reason, now doctors use it as a last resort and put patients on high doses of magnesium if they're at risk of premature labor, seizure, or other very serious conditions.
I use magnesium every single day.
It's really essential to our health and our well-being.
This is a huge problem because magnesium deficiency can increase your risk of all diseases and keep you from performing optimally.
We shouldn't wait until we are magnesium deficient.
And even more critically, there's not just one type of magnesium.
There are seven different types that we need in order to ensure both our health and vitality remain strong.
Now, I'm normally a big advocate of getting as many of our nutrients as we can through a well-balanced diet.
It would be perfect if we could do just that.
But in this case, it's almost impossible to get enough magnesium taken through your food alone because our soil is so overworked and depleted of minerals.
And honestly, it lacks organic matter, which helps the plants get the minerals from the soil.
I read somewhere that if 10 years ago we needed to eat one orange, now we need to eat 10 to get the same amount of nutrients.
It's just simply impossible to eat the same amount of food to get the minerals you need.
Fortunately, Buy Optimizers has the solution.
Their magnesium breakthrough supplement is the only one in the market with all seven types of magnesium.
And it's specifically formulated to help reach every tissue in your body to provide maximum health benefits.
Buy Optimizers Magnesium Breakthrough gives you access to the full spectrum of magnesium, which can dramatically improve your overall health from reducing stress to improving sleep and in boosting your energy levels.
Right now, you can try Buy Optimizers Magnesium Breakthrough and any other Buy Optimizer product for 10% off.
Just go to magbreakthrough.com slash Kirk.
That is M-A-G-B-R-E-A-K-T-H-R-O-U-G-H.com slash Kirk and use Kirk10 to boost your intake of magnesium and start feeling better today.
Don't wait to be deficient.

FBI Bureau Inside Communist Cabal00:15:08
The Department of Justice filed with the court a picture.
They filed a bunch of stuff as to why they don't want a special master, but they said, oh, no, no, don't worry.
We don't need a special master.
And they said, look, the documents that were at Mar-a-Lago were likely concealed and removed from President Trump's Mar-a-Lago estate in violation of a grand jury subpoena.
In the most detailed filing to date, the Justice Department lawyers late Tuesday night pushed back on claims from the former president's team that they conducted a diligent search.
The filing in a South Florida court was in response to Mr. Trump's lawsuit asking a federal judge to appoint a special master.
But then they put this picture up of these documents.
They put the picture in the filing.
Documents all over the floor, which if they're super confidential documents, why do you put them all over the floor?
With the Time magazine cover intentionally still put in there that says knock knock, not so subtle.
And so look, I just want to reemphasize this.
So as we put, as the FBI puts this filing in the court documents, they go out of their way.
They make an intentional effort to try to have a Time magazine cover that says knock knock.
This is the Bureau sending a clear and unmistakable message to you, to Trump supporters, to Donald Trump, to Donald Trump's orbit, that the administrative state is sovereign.
It's not enough that they're going to indict Donald Trump.
They want to send a clear message that you better back down.
I mean, this seems like a political campaign, not law enforcement.
This seems like a direct and clear infiltration and injection into the American constitutional process.
I'm going to read this from Mike Davis.
All former presidents get a federally funded office, office of the former president, with staff and security clearances and Secret Service protection and secure facilities, SCIFs.
Even if Trump had classified records, they were protected.
All presidents take records when they leave.
They don't pack their own boxes.
National Archives takes the position that almost everything is a presidential record.
The federal government overclassifies almost everything.
It is routine for any office of the former president to negotiate with National Archives.
They could have alerted Congress.
The Biden DOJ could have filed a civil lawsuit and they could have sought a subpoena.
But an unprecedented home raid, Trump had these records for 18 months.
The question is, why was it necessary to raid the home to try to sweep up things that otherwise they would not have been able to get through a subpoena?
What kind of documents were those?
We are still hope.
We're hopefully going to find this out.
And I hope that this judge has some form of a moral fiber in her being to say, hold on a second, this is just, this is grotesque.
Saying that you are not able to use the power of the federal Bureau of Investigation to go raid, to go collect whatever documents you want despite compliance, and then to infer that Donald Trump is a national security threat.
Biden's DNI, Department of the Head of Department of National Intelligence, will perform a political damage assessment, even though Trump's records were declassified, personal copies and secured by Secret Service.
Obama's DNI did not perform one, a single one of these, for Hillary's illegal home server of our most classified secrets hacked by our enemies.
But this is a clear campaign by the Bureau, according to this latest filing, that they're coming after you.
They're making their move, everybody.
There is no mistake that the Bureau and the Department of Justice, they're going to go for it.
And the political ramifications of this, they're quite significant.
To be able to interfere with somebody's political campaign on a paperwork dispute, otherwise known as it's an overdue library book.
We're not going to let you run for president because of an overdue library book, and you're a former president.
That's how much they fear our movement.
Millions of Americans are waking up to a country they don't recognize.
And while they struggle to raise their families and pay the bills, the media and major corporations are telling them that they're what's wrong with America.
Thankfully, there are strong companies, very good ones like Patriot Mobile, stepping up.
Patriot Mobile is America's only Christian conservative cell phone company.
They are on the front lines fighting for the sanctity of life, religious liberty, and the Second Amendment.
This is why Patriot Mobile is different from every other provider out there.
Inflation has made it really hard on many Americans.
Thankfully, Patriot Mobile has plans for almost any budget, and they offer the same nationwide coverage as the major carriers.

With this right now, I want to welcome to the program someone who knows the Bureau quite well, John Guandolo.
He has a career in the FBI as a special agent from 1996 to 2008 and was also in DOD from 08 to 2012.
John, welcome to the program.
Thanks very much for having me, Charlie, and congratulations to you and Eric on your new baby girl.
Oh, thank you very much.
I appreciate that.
So, John, let's just take a step back here.
What is your analysis of what's happening with the FBI here?
They're posting pictures of Time magazine covers.
Seems as if they're almost taunting the former president.
I believe this is highly political.
You've worked in the Bureau for quite some time, and you know it better than almost anybody else.
What's going on right now with the FBI?
Is it as bad as it seems?
Yes, I think it's actually worse than most Americans understand, both the Department of Justice, the FBI, and quite frankly, the broader federal government.
You've addressed a number of these points on this show and previous shows.
So I would go back to James Comey.
I honestly believe you got to start there.
One of the things I find fascinating as I go around the country and speak to leaders and communities and as we train communities at my organization, understanding the threat, I find that very few people know that James Comey publicly admitted he was a communist right when he was leaving the office as the U.S. Attorney of the Southern District of New York to become the Deputy Attorney General.
And this is back in 2003 in a New York magazine article.
He admits he's a communist.
And then he gets elevated to the deputy attorney general and then elevated to become the director of the FBI.
And I think the takeaway for your listeners and viewers is that if a guy who openly admits he was a communist can get elevated to those levels inside our federal government almost 20 years ago, imagine how bad the communist movement and the greater cabal is inside our federal government today.
So, yes, it is much worse inside the FBI than I think most people believe it is.
Geez.
And so they raided the president's home, President Trump's home, and now there's this potential special master that could oversee these documents and the handling of them.
What's your thoughts on the filing last evening?
It seems as if the FBI is taunting President Trump and his allies and those in his orbit.
Is that something the FBI would do?
I mean, they claim they're not political.
What's your thoughts on that?
Well, I think, again, when we take the totality of what the Bureau has done, especially in the last six or so years, you have the, again, back to Mr. Comey, but I'll walk it forward to today.
You had a situation where the FBI director, the deputy director, and assistant director for counterintelligence, Peter Strzok, lied openly to file a FISA application to the FISA court in order to electronically surveil candidate and then President Donald Trump, his family, and his staff.
So that's what we're talking about.
And of all the things that came out just from that, we saw internal FBI documents where it's highly, and it's not just, I wouldn't just call it politicized.
These are enemies of the state.
These are enemies of the Republic who are not just about bringing down Donald Trump.
These are people that seem to, based on the evidence on the table, despise our system, the Constitutional Republic, the free market system, and our form of government, which, you know, and I want to remind people, I think this is important.
Donald Trump didn't birth the MA movement.
The MA movement birthed Donald Trump.
And this movement, while he is a major player, is about citizens who are patriots and like the work that you're doing, want to see a restoration of the Republic and liberty.
And again, the free market system.
So inside the FBI, I still have good friends inside the FBI, and it is a disaster on the inside, both from a leadership perspective and the friction between agents who are like James Comey and Andrew McCabe and Peter Strzzok and others, and the agents that joined for the idealism of it to serve the country, to abide by the oath, and protect and defend.
How many good agents are left exactly?
Some people say, oh, 95% are good.
I mean, or is it 95% are just compliant?
I mean, is there what percentage in the Bureau actually believes in the country and the Constitution versus those are just radical anti-Americans?
What are your thoughts on that?
So that's a great question, Charlie.
And I would begin the answer with this, is I would almost say, what's the difference between the communist movement and real card-carrying communists in the United States and people who identify as patriots who are more concerned about losing their jobs than they are about defending their country and their community?
So the difference there is nothing.
Whether you're a card-carrying member of the Communist Party and you're advancing that movement or you call yourself a patriot, but you're not willing to risk anything to defend the Republic, you're kind of all in the same boat.
So the number of agents inside the Bureau actually willing to challenge leadership to defend what they said they came in to defend, it's a very small number.
So my first part of the answer is I don't think it matters how many patriots are in if they're all being silent.
But that said, I do not agree with the 95% number.
I don't know that I'd put a number on it, but there seem to be a pretty big chunk.
Just like in the United States, there seems to be at least 30% of the citizens, at least citizens that are active, that are openly calling for communism and socialism and are working towards that.
We have the key components of our federal government and the bureaucracy itself at the federal level that is literally controlled by the adversaries of liberty.
So I don't know that the percentage is as important as the percentage of people that are actually doing something.
And that's very small inside the DOD, inside the FBI, DOJ.
It's a very small number.
Cowards or communists.
They're almost indistinguishable, I suppose, because the cowards give cover to the communists.
In closing here, John, how do we reform this?
Some people say defund the FBI.
Some people say disassemble it.
What's your thoughts?
How do we do this?
Well, so anytime we take an action that advances one of the communist goals, and I know the 45 communist goals that we know that were read into the official congressional record back in 1963, one of those, Objective 35, is to dismantle the FBI.
So anytime people start advocating for something that's a goal on the communist list, I would hesitate.
But the FBI has got to be seriously purged.
The leadership is non-functional, especially in the counterterrorism and counterintelligence divisions in the leadership.
You know, during the transition in 2016, I was asked to write a short point paper for the transition team for Mr. Trump.
And the three things I commented on is how the FBI hires, how they train, and how they promote.
And those three things in the Bureau are broken.
So if it is revamped, it has to be seriously purged and a complete overhaul.
And I think it's going to be very difficult based on the culture.
And it's going to require bold leadership.
And I don't see that anywhere around the DOJ or the FBI, but it's going to require some serious effort.
I'm a little hesitant to say completely shut it down and defund it because there are still great Americans doing great work.
The last part of that answer goes to the work that my company understands the threat does, which is this is a war to bring down the Republic, and the war is only going to be won at the local level, at the county level.
And what we do is we train communities at the leadership level and at the citizen level to identify the hostile individuals and organizations, to flush them out, and to reestablish a Republican form of government.
I think that's how we win this.
I think spending too much time focused on the federal government can be wasteful.
I agree.
The problem is the federal government focuses on us, right?
When they start raiding James O'Keefe's home and trying to go after presidents, it's hard to ignore.
Thank you so much for the wonderful commentary, John.
I want to just author a couple terrific books.
You guys can check it out.
John Guandolo, really appreciate it.
Thank you so much.
Thank you, Charlie.
I find it very interesting as we go through this.
The more people you actually talk to that have been in the FBI, how bad it actually is.
Now, what are the 45 goals, by the way?
Presidential Records Act Discredit Goals00:06:51
The 45 goals here that we have of the Communist Party.
This was read into the Congressional Record 58 years ago.
The 45 communist goals.
I'll just read some of them.
Gain control of key positions in radio, TV, and pictures.
Infiltrate the press.
Get control of students of schools and teachers' associations and soften the curriculum.
Capture one or both of the political parties in the United States.
Discredit the American Constitution by calling it inadequate and old-fashioned.
This is 58 years ago, everybody.
Discredit the American founding as selfish autocrats and racists.
Belittle American culture and discourage the teaching of American history.
By the way, this is not a conspiracy theory.
This is what the communists read.
We read this into the congressional record thanks to the McCarthy Committee, which he gets a bad rap.
Joe McCarthy, senator from Wisconsin.
Discredit and eventually dismantle the FBI.
Infiltrate and gain control of big business and unions.
Transfer some of the powers of arrest from police to social agencies.
Treat all behavioral problems as mental health or social problems.
Discredit the family as an institution.
Encourage sexual promiscuity and easy divorce.
That's right.
Easy divorce and sexual promiscuity is the goal of the Communist Party.
Emphasize the need to raise children away from the negative influence of parents.
And it continues on.
You could see all 45 goals.
They're written in great detail.
45 goals for a communist America.
And boy, does it seem like they are ahead of schedule.
You should read them yourselves.
It shows exactly what we are up against here.
Especially if people say, oh, Charlie, we're up against a normal Democrat Party.
No, you're up against Marxists.
You're up against people that are directly consistent with the communist agenda.
How about this one?
Infiltrate the churches and replace revealed religion with social religion.
Discredit the Bible and emphasize the need for intellectual maturity, which does not need a religious crutch.
How about this one?
This is one of my favorites.
Create the impression, overthrow all colonial governments before native populations are ready for self-government.
And at the end, they say all of these would mark a complete subversion of the American Constitution and an end to representative sovereign government as we know it, which is our goal and the whole idea.
With us right now is Alina Haba.
Alina, let me ask you: so there is this request for a special master, and it just seems like the DOJ is trying to whisper about obstruction of justice and mishandling of documents.
But isn't it true that the president can declassify any document of his choosing while he's still president of the United States?
Isn't that the case?
Correct.
Actually, in the Department of Justice's papers that they filed at midnight last night, you can see on page two that they can see that this is part of the Presidential Records Act, which gives presidents, all presidents, the right to declassify documents, label them, some as personal, some declassified, which go to the archives, which go to the presidential library.
And they say themselves in these papers that they filed that this is under the Presidential Records Act.
So what they did was to try and criminalize Donald Trump, as they always do.
They found these three mundane statutes, espionage and the two others, obstruction, and they're trying to claim that there was some sort of criminal activity, but their papers say it's under the Presidential Records Act.
So your admission is the power that we've all been saying he does have.
So you can take a picture of top secret documents, Charlie, and show the world a label.
But if they're declassified as he has the right to do, then he has the right to have them.
And he was working together with NARA, as we know.
And that back and forth could have been done at a table as they had been doing for months prior.
This is a clerical dispute over a potential overdue library book that they are now raiding a president's home over.
So let me ask you, Alina, with where this stands right now, where is the president's head at as far as countersuit and also a potential or looming indictment from the Department of Justice?
Is it the belief that the DOJ is really going to go for this?
I mean, it seems as if nothing is going to stop them right now.
What is the legal strategy as it seems you're going up against a hyper-aggressive Department of Justice?
Well, I think we're always against a hyper-aggressive anything.
If you're Donald Trump's attorneys, you're used to this hyper-aggressive witch hunt in his words, right?
So for us, here's the reality of the situation.
There's a great team in place that is handling this.
And I'm lucky to work with wonderful people, but they have a good grasp on what's going on.
They're in communications.
Obviously, there are several attorneys on this team.
Right now, we're waiting for tomorrow.
We have that special master request.
I'm really happy that we have a judge that is engaged, that is asking to have a hearing and will ask questions.
I'm frankly pleased with their papers that they filed because I think they made their own bed.
So at this point, I hope we get a special master.
I know that the papers have already been rifled through, but I would like to see what they've taken because we don't even know what they've taken.
We do know there was privileged documents there.
They've admitted that.
They took passports.
I want to see how wide they went.
And then, of course, Charlie, we're going to look at the Fourth Amendment violations.
Anybody, not a president, but more so president, has a right to protect their home.
The Presidential Records Act gives him different privileges than a normal citizen, which he has, but no one is allowed to have a violation of their Fourth Amendment privileges.
And that was what was done.
The warrant was overly broad.
So first, we have to understand what their basis is.
We've been seeing it.
We're still understanding that it's just documents.
So I think there will be definitely some counteractions and filings by our team once we go through the procedural ramifications that we have to do first.
I sure hope so.
It is a targeting of a government against a political dissident.
As we remember the passing of Gorbachev, it feels awfully Soviet.
We're out of time.
Alina, thank you so much for being generous to your time and best of luck.
Please keep on fighting hard.
It is terrible what they're doing to the president.
And they violated Trump's civil rights and they know exactly what they're doing.
So please keep fighting.
Thank you.
Thank you.
