The Call to Opposition 00:10:30
Hey everybody, today on the Charlie Kirk show, Donald Trump is indicted.
We go through all the details.
Alina Haba, Donald Trump's lawyer, joins us and we make a call and a challenge to the other candidates.
Where is the opposition party in a time like this?
Email me freedom at charliekirk.com.
Get involved with turningpointusa at tpusa.com.
That is tpusa.com.
Email me freedom at charliekirk.com and support our program.
charliekirk.com slash support.
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.
We're with Producer Andrew at the Turning Point USA Young Women's Leadership Summit.
We'll have to celebrate here 2,000 plus.
I think we'll have 2,500 young women from across the country.
But today's not a day of celebration.
Today's a day of truth and action and honesty.
Again, here's your trigger warning for all you college campus types out there.
If you want to have just, oh, everything's great.
Everything's fine.
Go, like I said yesterday, watch Bob Ross, right, Daisy?
Go watch Bob Ross.
He'll bring down your blood pressure.
But if you want the truth, you want to fight for your republic, you're in the right place.
Andrew, welcome.
Thank you so much for having me.
It's a terrible day and it's a beautiful day here in Dallas.
I mean, this event is incredible.
But to your point, I mean, I don't think I've ever seen our audience just reading through the emails, reading through some of the replies on your tweets.
I've never seen everybody so fired up.
You're fired up.
It's, and you should be.
I mean, this is a complete bastardization.
I think tonally, the person that got it the most spot on was you with your tweet.
I really think you set the tone yesterday.
That tweet literally changed the, I think, course of the debate and the dialogue yesterday.
I mean, hat tip to you for doing it.
You know, it was like you and Pete Hegsteth said something similar.
Mark Levin was on point.
You know, these are the days, you know, to kind of quote your monologue that try men's souls, but also it reveals who are the patriots.
It reveals who's going to tuck tail and run.
But, you know, here's the deal.
This show is going to stay right where we need to be, right behind the president, right behind the rule of law.
And by the way, it's less about Trump and more about, like, this is bigger than a primary.
And I think that's what your tweet was really all about.
Again, this is legal Pearl Harbor.
We said that with the DA.
This is even more grotesque.
I mean, the thing in the DA's office in New York is you would expect, okay, local DA, Democrat, never happened before.
Soros funded.
This is Department of Justice.
It's almost as if they're acting like the Republican House doesn't exist.
This is serious stuff, everybody.
So in case you have been living under a rock in the last 15, 16 hours and your first exposure to news is the Charlie Kirk show.
Welcome.
We're very glad to hear that.
Donald Trump is going to be indicted in Miami, or he's technically already indicted.
It doesn't matter.
Tuesday, he has to show up.
Yeah, summoned to show up.
All of a sudden, it's Florida.
Now we're talking about a total venue change.
As the great one Mark Levin said, it's because that moron in Washington, D.C., Jack Smith, realized that the venue in D.C. had venue issues because it has to take place in as to you have to try in the place where the crime was allegedly committed, right?
So the document stuff happened down in Mar-a-Lago.
This is very important, though.
This is important because it's not going to be as easy to get Donald Trump easily convicted with some jurors.
I guarantee you right now, you're going to have some MAGA Cuban mom who's like Miami went for DeSantis this last season.
Yeah, and Donald Trump almost won Miami-Dade County in 2020.
You're going to get somebody on the jury that some Cuban on the jury who's like grandfather was murdered by Castro and like refuses to go along with this.
I'm not kidding.
That's a much better jury pool than New York or D.C.
But what's interesting about this is that Jack Smith is taking a strategic risk.
And from what the reporting would suggest, it's based on timing, right?
He's concerned that if he tried this in D.C. where he knows he's going to have a favorable jury, I mean, it's like 95.5 in D.C., right?
D.C. and New York is where justice goes to die.
We all know that.
But if he were to move forward in D.C., what would happen is this case would get dragged out at least another year as the lawyers argue about was this done in the right venue.
So Jack Smith is taking a strategic, time-based approach in order to take him off the chessboard before 2020.
Jack Smith is making decisions as if he's running a Democrat super PAC, not a special counsel's office of the Department of Justice.
This is a $1 billion.
Donald Trump has to go through a $1 billion barricade in the Republican primary.
This is a $1 billion equivalent in-kind donation from the Department of Justice from the Biden campaign.
This benefits the Biden campaign.
Donald Trump's now going to have to be showing up for summons in Florida, in Miami.
We've never seen anything like it.
But I want to go to my tweet yesterday.
So in real time, I said this, and it's been totally viral.
Pete Hegseth repeated it on air, and Seb Gorka did, and I stand by it 100%.
So people say, what's the action item?
What's the action item?
You want to have power?
You need an opposition party in the country.
You need to show that the country has some, half the country that's upset about this and like you, that is fired up and angry has some sort of representation.
So here's what needs to happen.
It's not going to happen because you've got a lot of Vichy French Republicans, weak need vanilla types that like to tweet and put out press releases.
They don't want to actually do the thing.
Every single Republican running for the presidency should go to Miami and suspend their campaign in a show of solidarity and support, not support of Trump.
It's not about Trump.
Oh, I don't like his tweets, his ego.
He fired me.
Suck it up.
This is about the Republic.
You should be there in Miami when he gets arraigned, when he gets booked.
You should do some sort of an event.
Imagine the photo op.
I mean, Chris Christie would take up half the photo, and then you got Doug Bergen with those crazy eyes, and then you got Nikki Haley.
But still, it would be an unbelievable picture where you have all these people running, and you say, okay, now we have an opposition party.
And you better believe that if we had a Department of Justice special counsel that was indicting a Democrat for the presidency, every major Democrat would be there in harmony.
The media would be there.
Chuck Yu Schumer would be there.
Nancy Pelosi would be there.
We call on Kevin McCarthy.
We call on every major Republican.
We call on Marjorie Taylor Greene, Jim Jordan, the Turtle.
All of them should go down.
It's not going to happen because deep down, some of them, not all of them, they have deep contempt for Donald Trump.
They're cheering this on.
The only way this stops, and again, this is not going to be the only thing.
This is just a small thing to do, is you have to show a visual, immediate, decisive, and public visual and show of support that every instrument of power, we're not going to put up with this.
We need every governor, every attorney general.
We should have every Republican billionaire.
It should just be this mass chorus of we're not putting up with this.
And what do you have more important to do, Republicans running for the presidency on Tuesday when Trump gets booked in Miami?
You're going to go to Iowa to go like eat deep-fried butter or something?
Chris Christie's going to go do a town hall with seven people in New Hampshire?
Well, what do you have that's more important?
I don't care if you don't like Trump.
I don't care if you don't like his tweets.
I don't care what you are broadcasting.
If you don't show up to Miami on Tuesday, is I care more about my own political power than standing by the constitutional republic that you want to serve.
No, I think you said it.
You said it really well, Charlie.
And again, I want to hat tip to you because you set the tone for so much of this.
But what I, I, we were talking about this in the before the show started.
If you were advising DeSantis in the DeSantis campaign, and again, we love DeSantis.
He's been a great governor.
You know, you've endorsed President Trump.
It's not about that.
If you were advising DeSantis' campaign right now, what would your words be?
I thought it was a good question.
Yeah, I mean, so some people, you know, some of the DeSantis people were responding on Twitter.
They said this is laughable.
I said, if you actually want DeSantis to be president, you should go to Miami and say, I'm governor of the state.
Trump and I are not getting along right now.
I don't like Trump.
He's insulting me.
We're in the midst of conflict.
This supersedes my wrestling match with Trump right now because there is a transcendent good.
There's a transcendent ideal that is being defecated on by these Marxist thugs in the Department of Justice.
That's what Governor DeSantis should do.
He should be going, and people say, oh, well, would Trump do that?
Forget enough with the hypotheticals.
Here's what Governor DeSantis should do.
You should go to Miami and say, this is my state.
This is disgusting.
This is awful.
I'm not going to put up with this.
And I'm putting my presidential campaign on temporary hold to show support, not for Trump, not for this, because, you know, we're in a spat right now and we both want to be president.
Instead, support for the people that stormed Normandy Beach.
Support for the people that sacrificed for this country.
Support for the people that built this, for Adams, for Jefferson, for Madison, for Jay, for Lincoln, for the heroes of this nation.
DeSantis would look like a hero.
I don't think he's going to do it because he's getting bad advice.
At least he tweeted in support.
I don't want a tweet.
I don't want a tweet.
I'm done with this.
I want this.
This is enough of this sort of like press release stuff.
You're the governor of the state of Florida.
Governor, I like you a lot.
You got to be there.
Or if not, you're going to look as if you're putting politics above anything else.
This is historic.
This has never happened before where the federal government goes after a former president.
You have an opportunity.
You actually will go up in the polls, Governor DeSantis.
I was going to say, he would, that's.
Again, if you don't go, it missed the opportunity.
Yeah, we have the clip from the Bragg indictment, and a lot of people thought that that came out a little soft, a little flat-footed.
But this is the opportunity to redo that.
Inflation-Proof American Meat 00:02:39
Again, it actually will help DeSantis, but that's not the main motivator.
It's what is right.
I just want people to start doing what is right.
But if all we care about is poll numbers and winning the nomination, then Governor DeSantis or Nikki Haley or whoever decides to go down.
Hello, there's a $1 billion bill waiting on the sidewalk.

Oh man, he's the sweetest guy.
This is so sick.
Digitizing Your Legacy Box 00:06:14
These people are so evil.
This is Walt Notta, who is also indicted.
This guy's a Navy veteran and a personal aide, an excellent aide of Donald Trump's, by the way.
And now he has been indicted.
This is not just about Trump.
They want to severely destroy and damage anybody in the orbit.
This is what the Soviets used to do.
You know, when we say, oh, it's Soviet style, it's about the show trial aspect.
Remember, show trials are to make it public and on display, to make it humiliating, to try to prevent other action.
That's really what's going on here.
And so now a new indictment has been issued for Walt Notta, indicted in classified documents probe, who is literally working for Trump.
You see here, they know what they're doing.
They're going after this like a mob case.
They indict Walt Nada and they're going to try to isolate him.
This is what they're going to do.
It's very simple.
They're doing the same thing with Mark Meadows.
I was going to say.
They're doing the same thing with Steve Bannon.
They're going to go to Walt Nada and they're going to say, hey, you're facing 20 years in prison.
You're facing 20.
By the way, they're not allowed to do this, but they do it anyway.
You are not allowed to threaten the most severe sentence in exchange for testimony, but they do it in code, right?
There's some state.
Blake, there's some statute.
You can't do it bluntly, but they do it anyway.
And so they go to Walt Nada, who's now been indicted, and they say, you know, he doesn't have the same attorneys.
And they say, unless in exchange for testimony and a plea deal down to a misdemeanor, in exchange for cooperation, then we'll be able to get the goods on Trump.
This is totally intentional.
This is what we thought Durham was doing, but Durham was a gutless wonder and he didn't do any of this, right?
So we have Walt Nada, who is this really sweet man who is going to be indicted and they're going to try to use him as a way to turn him to try to get to Trump.
Yeah, they're squeezing all around Trump and his orbit.
This probably isn't the last domino that's going to fall in this because what they're probably looking for is people with firsthand evidence that Trump somehow mishandled the documents.
Or, you know, there was a story breaking on CNN this morning that said, you know, Trump was basically saying I could declassify things as president, but I can't do it after the fact, which actually to me, and there's difference of opinion on this, but to me, that's Trump being having a very clear-eyed understanding of his powers, obviously pre- and post-presidency, and understanding the presidential presidential act that he's following.
I'm just, I'm blanking on the exact word.
But what's interesting is that, and we haven't talked about this yet, is that it's important for everybody to understand.
The Presidential Records Act is not a criminal statute.
No, but it's been upgraded.
Exactly.
One of the things Levin shared yesterday.
Exactly.
But this is why they are moving towards an espionage act case, right?
Well, and the question is why.
The question is why.
Why espionage?
Because it's old.
It predates the entire classified document system that we all currently sort of understand.
And it sort of generically bans someone from sharing or mishandling national defense information.
So, you know, it doesn't take a whole lot of brain cells to understand it.
This is a law that can get abused very quickly, which is what we're happening.
And by the way, just one last point.
Woodrow Wilson, this is when this law came into being.
Woodrow Wilson absolutely abused this law, right?
There's a couple different stories here.
You know, there was 100 years ago in South Dakota, a man in South Dakota received 10 years in prison for writing a letter to a friend where he opposed liberty loans to fight World War I. 10 years.
There was another guy that said, young men are fools to enlist and go across and be blown up.
This man was convicted under the Espionage Act.
So this is a broadly written rule that doesn't get used against a president unless you have an absolute prosecutor like Jack Smith that's hell-bent on weaponizing the DOJ.
I mean, this is an absolute affront.
The more laws, the less justice, as Cicero said.
James Madison said something similar.
The more voluminous the laws, the further we get from justice.
So we have this antiquated criminal code that was written for a different time and place that was never updated that people don't really think carefully, but it's USC whatever.
And then you have a driven Marxist prosecutor that resurrects this antiquated criminal code to reapply it for a different time, place, and manner for somebody they hate.
Legacy Box says something really special for you.
What was your favorite childhood memory?
Was it playing catch with your grandparents?
Was it hitting a home run?
Was it renovating a house?

Maddow's Plea Deal Hoax 00:15:02
Joining us now is Alina Haba, one of President Trump's attorneys.
Alina, thank you for joining the program.
Immediate reaction to this Soviet-style indictment of President Trump.
The floor is yours.
I think you said that very well.
This is a Soviet-style indictment.
This is taking on your political opponent because you can't beat him without coming at him with complete and utter garbage.
This is something we've seen former president, not presidents even, vice presidents, Hillary Clinton, Bill Clinton, all have as an issue.
And we heard Comey say that he just wouldn't bring charges.
But if you're Donald Trump, if you're the leading GOP candidate, if you're the likely nominee, and meanwhile, our current president can't walk upstairs, this is what you have to do.
It's desperation and it is Soviet-style stuff.
What is the mood of the president?
He seems to be angry, understandably.
We're all angry.
What is his mood?
What can you fill us in with how he's approaching this?
I think he's methodical right now.
Is he angry?
Of course, but he's not unhappy in the way that most people would be, right?
He is resilient.
This is, frankly, not very different than many other days for President Trump.
He has been under siege since 2016.
And then eventually the truth comes out, just like we saw with the Durham hoax, right?
And not the Durham hoax, but the Russia hoax and the Durham Report.
I think that he is no different than any other day.
He puts his armor on and he fights for the country and he takes it one step at a time.
And that's what he's doing.
So there's been a lot of talk about how this is a civil statute that has been upgraded to a criminal statute.
And, you know, the persecution of President Trump under this continues, despite the fact that Joe Biden, Joe Biden's not going to get indicted.
Hillary Clinton was not indicted with this.
Is there any claim potentially, Alina, at least from your perspective, of equal protection claims here that other people have not been indicted for similar handlings?
I mean, this is beyond a novel legal theory.
The New York one is wild.
This one is extraordinary.
This is an antiquated World War I-era law that has been resurrected by a Marxist thug prosecutor to try to fit a media narrative against an active president of the United States.
Are there equal protection claims that could be made here?
I think selective prosecution claims.
This shows that there's really selective prosecution happening, meaning that you are not taking your seat and your position at the DA as an AG.
And you mentioned New York.
That's a great example.
You know, Bill Clinton paid Paula Jones $850,000.
He didn't get an indictment out of it.
They keep taking these civil issues that can really be resolved very simply and elevating them.
And that's selective prosecution.
That's when you are targeting someone where your motives are not pure and where you're not strictly going by the code of the statute or the rule of law.
And of course, we will be bringing all of those claims and very quickly.
Andrew?
Hey, Alina, thanks for joining us today.
You know, one of the things that I'm looking into right here is this: you know, there's a, I believe it's an assistant U.S. attorney in the Southern District of Miami.
So one of the things that's confusing people is just the fact that this is even happening in Miami at all.
So I'd love to get your perspective on that.
It seems like they're doing that as an opportunity to accelerate the timeline here so they didn't have to fight over a venue, you know, debate if it should have been held in Florida in the first place.
But then there's this character that's emerging that I think is really interesting.
This is Karen Gilbert, who was basically found, you know, she was caught red-handed wiretapping the defense attorney, which is highly illegal, highly unethical.
How this person is somehow now involved in targeting a former president of the United States and not in prison herself is just incredible.
It seems like there's this whole cast of characters, this dirty cops being arrayed against the president.
Do you know about this?
Yes.
Yes, I do.
I have heard that this prosecutor came out.
I think Kash Patel knows about this prosecutor and spoke about it this morning.
I know he has a truth post out right now discussing it.
I don't know her personally.
I have heard exactly what you said.
That's great journalism.
It is troubling.
It is concerning.
But again, it's no different than D.A. Bragg, who is Soros-backed anti-Trumper, bringing claims.
It is no different than Letitia James, who is a Trump-hating attorney general in the state of New York.
It is no different than all of these people that we see time and time again, right?
So, okay, we have a prosecutor that hates Trump and also has corruption behind her.
What's the difference between that and the Biden family right now?
And not to mention the timing on this is so obvious.
You know, we had the $5 million bribery scheme come out, right?
And then they immediately say, oh, bring in the Trump indictment number two.
You know, we're going to look back at this, I think, guys.
We're going to say, this was Russia hoax number one, Russia hoax at the Mueller report, indictment one, indictment two.
You know, we're going to be saying this over and over again.
What they don't understand is the American people have caught on.
They've caught on.
And the corruption is deep.
But here's the good news.
He has good people representing him.
He's a strong guy and he didn't do anything wrong.
So we'll fight it in court.
An indictment, you really don't get a chance to put your case on at all.
You know, if they bring in who they want, they present what they want and they select who will come in to a grand jury.
But in a court of law, yeah, it'll be better.
And in Florida, yes, I think you're right on the venue thing.
I think they did it in Florida so that they wouldn't have to fight about venue because he is a resident of Florida and that is probably where the appropriate venue, but I'll let his attorney Sandalinus decide that.
And Joe Biden has been informed about this.
This is a cover operation.
We're just getting started on this.
Like you said, there's a $5 million payment.
I mean, we've known about this corruption and bribery for quite some time.
The Biden family is in some serious trouble because we're not going to let off.
And by the way, this is only now going to make the case easier to make against Joe Biden because there's going to be a, but what about the current president kind of talking point?
Talk about special prosecutors.
Yes.
I mean, the whole thing is so grotesque.
I mean, you've turned over Iraq and Joe Biden took $5 million in that country.
It's like, what countries did he not take money from?
And Merrick Garland is directly interfering in a presidential election.
Merrick Garland is a craven, evil man who is scorned and bitter that he was never on the United States Supreme Court and is using the Attorney General's office as a Democrat super PAC against active presidential candidates.
Alina, any thoughts on this?
It's worth repeating that the Department of Justice had a long-standing memo that they would not interfere with elections or indict current people running for the president unless it was such a huge threshold.
Any thoughts on this?
Yeah, evidently, when you're Donald Trump, the threshold is a narrow documents case, which every single person that's left the White House, be it the president or vice president Pence or anybody, anybody has gone through, but they elevate everything for Trump just like they did.
They stacked in the DA in New York with Bragg.
It's disgusting, Charlie.
And thank goodness for people like you and that you're continuously bringing it to the public's eye and saying it in plain English.
We are seeing ultimate destruction of our country, ultimate destruction of the bedrock of our country and the Constitution and things that we're not supposed to do.
And they're making us a banana republic.
It's embarrassing.
And I keep saying that as a lawyer, I am so sad because our oath was supposed to mean something.
And these judges, these prosecutors, these special prosecutors are putting politics first and America last.
And it's just a disgrace.
It's a disgrace.
Alina, thank you for coming on and please send the president our best.
Thank you so much.
I will.
So I want to get to a piece of tape, a statement here.
So you got Mitt Romney, who has probably one of the worst statements you could imagine.
This is Mitt Romney.
Mr. Trump brought these charges upon himself by not only taking classified documents, but by refusing to simply return them when given numerous opportunities to do so.
That is not true.
Remember, people from NARA came down to Mar-a-Lago and he showed them around and they had a great conversation.
By the way, document disputes, every president goes through document disputes, presidential library stuff, Obama, Clinton.
Willard Mitt Romney continues.
These allegations are serious and if proven, would be consistent with his other actions offensive to the national interest, such as withholding defensive weapons from Ukraine for political reasons and failing to defend the Capitol from violent attack and insurrection.
That is your Republican Party, Mitt Romney, everybody.
That's not my Republican Party.
Yeah, but I have a couple other thoughts on this.
So Mike Pence comes out.
And Mike Pence says, oh, you know, I'm sad to see this indictment move forward.
But he says, quote, no one is above the law.
What law, Mike Pence?
There is no law, as Mark Levin said.
This is not the law.
You're trying to say, you think that this is the rule of law?
Mike Pence, you could go to jail next.
And isn't it interesting how the Department of Justice issues a nice memo and they say, oh, Mike Pence, you're good to go.
One week ago, Mike Pence got a clean bill of health from the Department of Justice.
And then he announces for the presidency and he calls Trump his former running mate.
No, that was your boss in the president of the United States, man.
You're using your language intentionally to just try to jab and jab and jab.
Mike Pence says, let me be very clear.
No one is above the law.
We have to protect our nation's secrets.
And my only hope is as we learn about the facts of the indictment next week, that the American people will see this case would meet a high standard necessary to justify the unprecedented federal indictment.
There is no opposition party when you have a former vice president of the United States that comes out and says, no one is above the law.
This is not about the law, Mike Pence.
Deep down, you know that.
Here's the point, is that there is so much personal animosity and hatred for Trump, they are willing to quietly cheer this on.
There was applause and champagne popping amongst Vichy French Republicans yesterday.
Yeah, if you were polling like 5% to 0%, you were looking at this news.
Or if you're a Republican consultant or the turtle, they're smirking.
And you know what they're saying?
Finally.
Yep.
They're saying finally.
Finally, the man we hate has to go through hell.
And we get paycheck.
And we get paychecks and we're going to stay in power.
So Rachel Maddow is one of the chosen.
There are chosen right-wing Operation Mockingbird and there are chosen left-wing Operation Mockingbird.
What do you mean by the chosen?
The chosen are people that are selected by the Intel apparatus and the corporate oligarchy to just do what they're told.
Well, they publish the Intel community's press release.
Yes, they like Natasha Bertrand from Politico.
Remember 50 former Intel officials?
These people drive me nuts.
They get a word.
They publish the press release.
They don't even fact check.
No, they don't fat check.
If it comes from our government, they think they just get the right to publish it without doing any scrutiny.
And it's absolute garbage.
And this is how we get to the place we're at.
And there are some people in right-wing media that do this.
100%.
So it's a uniparty thing.
But Rachel Maddow is one of the worst.
And Rachel Maddow goes on TV and she admits what this is all about.
So what's important here, though, is that Rachel Maddow almost certainly, again, this is speculation, but almost certainly was on conference calls, text messages, and threads with DOJ people that were chattering about this.
So she didn't just come up with this idea, right?
She doesn't have unique or organic ideas.
She's not smart enough.
It's a really good point.
She is smart, but it was too concocted, right?
So here she is on TV all of a sudden putting this forward.
And you might say, oh, who cares?
It's just, you know, the weird man-looking woman on MSNBC.
No, no, no.
She's telling you that this is about him running for president, which adds a whole new difference.
You're not talking about Chris Hayes, right?
I can't, I get their interchangeable parts.
It's a total honest mistake.
We should just play the.
Let's play Cut 113.
You have to wonder if the Justice Department is considering whether there is some political solution to this criminal problem, whether part of the issue here is not just that Trump has committed crimes, but that Trump has committed crimes and plans on being back in the White House.
Do they consider, as part of a potential plea offer, something that would prescribe him, proscribe him from running for office again?
Okay, I want you to understand this.
She did not come up with this idea on her end.
Basically, what she's saying is that he could enter a plea deal to stop running for the presidency of the United States.
What she is suggesting, and again, this is not her.
This means that some lunatic in DOJ, Merrick Garland, as Mark Levin beautifully said, he acts like he's Helen Keller.
I can't see anything.
I'm not involved.
You know, I'm blah.
No, no, you are the first.
You are the maestro.
You are in charge of this whole thing.
You are the architect of the symphony of the Marxist prosecutors.
They are all straight to your baton.
You are keeping them in harmony.
You are keeping them on beat.
So the Rachel Maddow talking to one of these people, maybe Merrick Garland directly, saying, hey, Donald Trump, you don't want to go to prison?
Stop running for the presidency.
This is the way the mob works.
Hey, it'd be a real shame if something happened to your daughter.
It'd be a real shame if something happened to your dog.
This is no different than the Sicilian mob.
And Rachel Maddow is basically saying, hey, there might be a plea deal that you might run for the presidency.
Everybody, I don't want to hear another whisper that Donald Trump can't win in 2024.
If Donald Trump could not win in 2024, why is Rachel Maddow saying the Department of Justice should act as a taxpayer-funded Democrat super PAC to say, hey, part of your plea agreement to not go to prison, pal, for 20 years is to drop out of the presidential race.
Suspend the Presidential Race 00:01:26
It's like you always say, if their victory was inevitable, their propaganda wouldn't be necessary.
Their cheating wouldn't be necessary.
Their weaponization of the DOJ wouldn't be necessary.
Their spokesholes on the media saying, hey, hint, hint, drop out wouldn't be necessary.
So I completely agree with you.
I think there's a lot of doomerism on the right.
This is actually something that should make everybody have a little bit of confidence that we're on the right track here.
They're looking at the polling, and they actually know that we're starting to get on point building the early vote machine, which I, you know, listen, nobody has to love that, but I'm telling you, they're looking at it and they know they have a historically weak candidate in Joe Biden.
I just want to repeat what I said earlier.
Every Republican running for the presidency for reverence of the Constitution, our tradition in our country, should temporarily suspend.
I'm not even saying drop out of the race.
Suspend your race.
Suspend your race the same way that people did after a hurricane or a terrorist attack.
You should suspend your campaign for 48 hours.
Don't be in Iowa.
Don't be in New Hampshire.
Go down to Miami.
You could say all the mean things you want to say, Trump, but then you have to say the but, but this is wrong, and that's why we are here.
That's right.
Failure to show up on Tuesday in Miami will speak volumes about whether you love the Constitution or you want power.
