Happy Monday.
Hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving.
We certainly did.
Rested and recovered and ready to go.
And we thought it was just going to kind of be a sleepy Thanksgiving weekend.
We thought that, you know, in Trump world, that it was just going to kind of be, okay, Trump is doing the YMCA dance at Mar-a-Lago.
Nothing big, nothing groundbreaking, and oh, no, no.
We are in a brand new world.
Some would say a brave new world.
Not Huxleyan, but it certainly has some elements of that.
Where this weekend, a lot happened.
It started on Wednesday evening.
President Trump met with Mark Zuckerberg, CEO of Facebook, otherwise known as Meta.
Then on Friday, President Trump had dinner with Justin Trudeau.
All of this, by the way, around his threats of tariffs against Mexico and Canada and China.
Turns out the tariff threats have worked, so much so that Justin Trudeau boarded his plane—well, they don't do Thanksgiving in Canada—boarded his plane the day after Thanksgiving to come down to basically get on his hands and knees and beg President Trump will not wreck the Canadian economy.
You know, it's so funny.
Democrats would say time and time again, in order to solve the border crisis, you need a bipartisan border bill.
You need James Lankford's border bill.
You need a bipartisan consensus.
President Trump says, just give me a phone call.
You want a multi-billion dollar border bill?
Yeah, that'll help if we do actual targeting of Border Patrol agents funding on the border.
One phone call, one Truth Social post, and President Trump was able to allocate more than any bipartisan border bill possibly would have.
Feels like American power is finally being restored to the world.
Then, over the weekend, on Saturday evening, President Trump sent yet another shockwave to the system.
We already have Pete Hegseth.
We have Pam Bondi, who's going to do a great job.
We already have Tulsi Gabbard.
We already have Bobby Kennedy.
I mean, we have this all-star team.
We have Elon Musk.
We have Vivek Ramaswamy.
However, there was this open slot.
of who is going to control the FBI. Now the FBI, interestingly enough, was actually not chartered by the FBI, even though it was given its name.
In 1935 by Congress.
In 1908, Attorney General Charles Bonaparte created the Bureau of Investigation, otherwise known as the BOI. It was an investigative force within the Department of Justice.
Bonaparte hired 34 people, including some former Secret Service members, to work for the agency.
In 1935, Congress gave it its current name, the FBI. Now, mind you, the FBI is part of the Department of Justice.
It is part of the DOJ. And the FBI's authority comes from congressional statutes, executive orders, and code of federal regulations.
So the FBI has always kind of...
It's not in the Constitution.
It is a form of the DOJ. And President Trump sent another shockwave nominating Kash Patel to lead the FBI. Now, I have a lot to talk about the Kash Patel story because it is just phenomenal, enormous news, and it's going to require all of you in this audience To keep the pressure on your senators from Idaho, from Kansas, from South Dakota, from Arkansas, to make sure that Kash Patel is confirmed by the Senate.
But early signs and early indicators are very good.
But then the even bigger news, as if it was leading up, Zuckerberg, Trudeau, Kash Patel, and then boom, last night.
Despite repeated proclamations, statements, and promises that he would not do this, Joe Biden gave a blanket pardon to his son, Hunter Biden.
Now, it wasn't just a pardon for the crimes that he was convicted of.
It was a blanket pardon going all the way back to 2014, which interestingly now covers all of the Ukrainian and the Chinese Communist Party activities that the Biden family was involved in.
This comes while we're also seeing other left-wing billionaires like Reid Hoffman talking about fleeing the country.
If these people did nothing wrong, why are they so worried about the government coming after them?
You see, Joe Biden pardoning his son.
Again, I'm not going to get too worked up about this.
A father should look after his son.
Family does come first.
But from the presidential standpoint, this is much more about the corruption.
And the lying and the deception of the President of the United States.
Joe Biden all along should have just said, look, I'm going to look very closely at it.
If I feel if my son is mistreated, I'm going to pardon him.
No, instead, Joe Biden promised to the American people this is not going to happen.
No one is above the law, is what he was saying.
In fact, that was the whole left-wing talking point, that no one is above the law.
Let's play cut seven.
Joe Biden promising he would not pardon Hunter Biden.
Play cut seven.
And I am satisfied that I'm not going to do anything.
I said I'd abide by the jury decision.
I will do that and I will not pardon him.
In May, have you ruled out a pardon for your son?
Play cut 29. And I am satisfied that I'm not going to do anything.
I said I'd abide by the jury decision.
I will do that and I will not pardon him.
But let me ask you, will you accept the jury's outcome, their verdict, no matter what it is?
Yes.
And have you ruled out a pardon for your son?
Yes.
This nation was founded on the principle there are no kings in America.
Each of us is equal before the law.
No one is above the law.
Each, each of us is equal before the law.
The American principle that no one is above the law was reaffirmed.
In my administration, no one is above the law.
Breaking news shows the president has discussed pardoning Hunter Biden with some of his closest aides, at least since Hunter Biden's conviction in June.
They decided at the time that he'd publicly say he would not pardon him, even though it remained on the table.
So basically, we're just going to lie.
It is the same cabal That told you the vaccine was safe and effective.
The same group of people that told you that you need to have six feet of social distancing.
The same people that told you these early treatments like ivermectin and hydroxychloroquine were horse-paced and was going to kill you.
The same people that told you the virus came from some wet market in Wuhan.
Same people that told you that Vladimir Putin was going to march through Europe And he's the new Vladimir Putin that Ukraine is vital to American national security.
The reason Trump won is because we don't trust any of these people.
This is Corrine Jean-Pierre saying that no one is above the law.
Play cut 31. The president believes no one is above the law.
And the president met the moment talking about how no one is above the law here.
Does the president have any intention of pardoning him?
We've been asked that question multiple times.
Our answer stands, which is no.
And they've lied about it repeatedly.
You see, the media here doesn't Quite understand what's going on here.
Let's play cut eight.
Earlier in the evening, the president released a statement reading in part, there has been an effort to break Hunter, who has been five and a half years sober, even in the face of unrelenting attacks and selective prosecution.
In trying to break Hunter, they've tried to break me.
And there's no reason to believe it will stop here.
Enough is enough.
And just now, Donald Trump posted on his Truth Social account, quote, Don't you just love that they have to read his Truth Social word for word?
You could tell they just hate it.
They hate it.
If your approach to everyday aches and pains is to mask them, you know, feel better for a few hours only to have the pain return and then repeat the cycle all over again.

This does open the door, by the way.
It moves the Overton window for President Trump to get very aggressive on pardons out the gate.
Now, by the way, he didn't need that kind of signal to do that.
But the January Sixers need full pardons.
And especially, especially any of the nonviolent January Sixers.
When you look at Siaka Masakwai, who just took a step into the Capitol, boom!
Facing federal prison time.
The praying grandmothers that went on Capitol grounds.
Not only that, every active investigation surrounding January 6th needs to be dropped.
Every single one.
And also, what should be...
I'm sorry, there's one thing that should be investigated.
How many federal agents were there on January 6th?
And who planted the pipe bombs?
Can we get a pipe bomb investigative czar?
Now, I'm not a big fan of special counsels, but can we put Jack Smith on that one?
Jack Smith, who planted the pipe bombs?
Kamala Harris almost died.
You want to talk about a threat to democracy?
Imagine if the DNC and the RNC would have blown up On January 6th.
That would be a threat to democracy.
Who did that?
Who planted the pipe bombs?
And why has no one been arrested?
Why don't we have the cell phone pings to be able to tell who that is?
Who is there?
The rising Truth and Reconciliation Commission could look into a lot of these things.
Adam Schiff...
Introduced a bill back in 2018 to keep Trump from abusing pardon powers for his family.
Where's Adam Schiff now, the new senator from California?
Play cut 28. So the president's pardon of Scooter Libby, Congressman, has inspired you to propose new legislation.
What exactly would it do?
What it would do is say that in the event the president pardons anyone in an investigation in which the president is a witness, a subject, or the target, those investigative files will all be turned over to the Congress.
The Congress ought to know whether the president is using the pardon power To obstruct justice.
The American people have a right to know.
I think it is clearly constitutional.
It doesn't prohibit him from granting a pardon, even a pardon he shouldn't grant.
But it does say that we will be able to at least find out whether the president is using this power to shield himself from liability.
It offers transparency, at the very least.
Transparency.
I am curious.
Our resident historian, Blake, can do this.
Is this the first...
Family presidential pardon in American history.
Like immediate father-son, father-daughter.
It's not?
Okay, there have been others.
Oh, Bill Clinton did...
I didn't know he pardoned his daughter.
I didn't know that.
Oh, he pardoned his brother.
Okay.
Has anyone pardoned their biological...
Not just their biological...
Their kids.
I know that Trump pardoned Jared Kushner's dad.
It's interesting.
Email us, as always, freedom at charliekirk.com and subscribe to our podcast.
And yeah, it was technically Clinton's half-brother, I think was the closest.
President Trump, day one, has a mandate to issue mass pardons and commutations across the board.
And if you read Joe Biden's Description as to why he did this.
He says, oh, no one really trusts the Department of Justice.
Interesting, Joe Biden.
Your Department of Justice is the one that went after Donald Trump to try to throw him in prison for 700 years.
You went around saying that nobody is above the law.
And again, I mean, a father has to look after his son.
I tweeted that immediately.
It doesn't get me as fired up on the actual action of doing it.
It's a bad look, no doubt.
It smells of corruption.
Hunter Biden is a stone cold criminal.
You can't fault a father for looking after his son.
You can't.
However, you can fault a president for desecrating the office of the presidency.
And both those things can mutually be true.
I want to just kind of go deeper into...
What the Kash Patel nomination represents.
And I want to hear from you, freedom at charliekirk.com.
What do you think about Kash Patel being nominated as FBI director?
You see, there's this misunderstanding that the FBI is its own branch of government.
That the DOJ is its own independent agency.
That is not correct.
The Department of Justice and the FBI answer directly to the President of the United States.
Woodrow Wilson Who won in a spoofy election in 1912 with a plurality but not a majority of votes against William Howard Taft and Teddy Roosevelt as Teddy Roosevelt was doing the Bull Moose party after he was upset and the direction that William Howard Taft went became president.
Woodrow Wilson ushered in a new philosophical contagion You could call it a governmental virus into the American body politic.
Woodrow Wilson believed that the form and the structure that the founding fathers put forward, the executive branch, the legislative branch, and the judicial branch, those three co-equal branches of government with tension and with separation of powers, that was an antiquated model.
Woodrow Wilson was the first president to vocally oppose And to speak against the founders and their intent for America.
He said, we need to bring in and usher in a new way of governing.
And that way he looked at was very similar to a John Dewey and Hegelian way of viewing history.
But it was about creating bureaucracies that were not necessarily accountable to the executive, accountable to the legislative, but they're a council of experts.
You see, Woodrow Wilson, being a college professor himself, saw this as an opportunity to be able to bring in the smart people to run government.
Cass Sunstein is a modern equivalent as an inheritor of this belief.
So Woodrow Wilson set up this 100-year detour away from the founder's vision of government.
Over the last hundred years, we have seen more federal agencies be formed than Americans could list.
In fact, I'm helping out with the presidential transition team wherever I'm needed, and I look at some of these agencies.
I've never heard of them before.
ORIRA, you know, commissions and boards that you would...
You were like, what do these people do all day long?
Why do you exist?
What is your purpose?
What is your task?
And they couldn't even tell you.
Oh, our purpose is to make sure the GBIP and the DDAP and the FT work together with the W4. Like, what?
And it's all this acronym speak and it merges together in a very, very confusing way.
But more importantly, is it's not what the founders intended.
This is what we call the fourth branch of government.
The fourth branch of government is an unaccountable, unknown, unelected bureaucracy that is against the will of the American people.
And we are going to see the greatest climax of that war, started with Woodrow Wilson, come to fruition this coming administration.
The question is, who is in charge of America?
Is it the people or the bureaucrats?
Is it the American people that are sovereign?
Or is it this unelected ruling class?
This career civil service that runs the country?
Who is in charge?
Is the presidency a ceremonial role where you do ribbon cuttings, Christmas parties, host Little League baseball champions, bring the Super Bowl winner over and smile when the bureaucracy runs the government?
Or does it have teeth?
Does it have real meaning in our country?
That is the open question in front of the country right now, in front of what is going to happen with this new Trump administration.
The secret police of the fourth branch of government is the FBI. The FBI is the enforcement arm of the administrative state.
The FBI was never actually chartered by Congress.
It started as a Bureau of Investigation, By Attorney General Charles Bonaparte and grew into now one of the most powerful organizations, one of the most unconstitutional organizations in American history.
President Calvin Coolidge first appointed J. Edgar Hoover to the Bureau of Investigation in 1924. J. Edgar Hoover grew the Bureau of Investigation into The Leviathan that we know is the FBI today.
J. Edgar Hoover, you have to look at this guy, and I'm not going to get into some of the alleged weird parts of his life, which are not even necessarily proven.
But it's interesting.
How did J. Edgar Hoover survive as FBI director from 1935 to 1972?
Think about that.
He was FBI director for 37 years.
That is not normal.
To be in charge of a country's secret police for 37 years, you better believe that he had blackmail on almost every single elected leader.
And that was a strategy that he embraced.
He served under FDR, served under Truman, served under Dwight D. Eisenhower, served under JFK, served under Lyndon Baines Johnson, served under Richard Nixon.
Hoover expanded the FBI beyond just crime fighting, and he led the charge to make the FBI an intel agency.
The FBI has never, and still to this day, does not have a congressional mandate to collect intelligence on the American people.
It has a mandate to enforce laws that are currently on the books.
And you can make a good argument, why does the FBI even exist in the first place?
It was not part of the founders' vision to have a standing Red Guard that could be deployed against political dissidents, which of course is what it does today.

We all saw the pictures during Floydapalooza of FBI agents wearing masks, kneeling.
Of FBI agents marching in gay pride parades.
The FBI has become the muscle of the woke.
The FBI was once one of the finest fighting forces against crime in the 70s and 80s.
And even earlier than that.
And has turned into a disgusting, repulsive version of its former self.
President Trump appointing the very qualified Kash Patel to become FBI director is an attempt to realign what the FBI should be.
Reporting directly to the President of the United States.
You see, the media believes the FBI should be its own island.
Can't touch it.
Can't see it.
They rule themselves.
They govern themselves.
No one can even ask questions of them.
They have superseding authority over the entire federal government.
This is MSNBC's reaction to Kash Patel becoming FBI director.
Listen carefully to Tim Miller, PlayCut30.
Is there enough backbone there, do you think, to defeat multiple nominees?
I don't know.
I think it's possible.
And look, we saw it with Matt Gaetz already, and I think I was actually surprised how quickly that happened.
To me, Kash Patel, and I don't say this lightly, is the most dangerous nominee that we've seen yet to our democracy.
I mean, you might think that having Pete Heggs is running the military is a greater level of danger because of his lack of experience or Tulsi Gabbard at intelligence.
But just as far as You know, the threats to democracy that we were warning about before the election.
And Kash Patel was a key player inside the Trump White House pushing for and orchestrating the coup attempt in 2020. He was trying to completely take control of the Justice Department at the time.
He was Trump's top lieutenant who was willing to do anything and advance any lie in service of his attempt to overturn that last election.
To such a degree that there were many people that were Trump appointees in 2020 who were standing in the breach and saying, no, not Kash Patel.
You cannot put Kash Patel as a temporary leader of the Justice Department, etc.
These are Trump appointees.
And so, you know, we'll see what happens in the Senate, but if Trump had people around him that were quasi-loyalists that were like, that guy's too far, who knows what that'll mean for the Senate.
Now, if you listen carefully, they're talking about the independence of the FBI. Wait, hold on.
Either the FBI falls under the president's jurisdiction or it does not.
The FBI should not operate as an intelligence gathering service on the American people, which, by the way, is completely and totally unconstitutional.
The FBI has used the Patriot Act to spy on your text messages, to look at your emails, to go after completely innocent people and be this massive information gathering service where our freedoms and our liberties evaporate.
But more importantly, Kash Patel will reform the FBI and say, get out of DC and go after child sex traffickers.
Why are there thousands of FBI agents at desks every single day?
What do they do?
If you want to keep your badge, go into the field, Find the bad guys.
Go find drug smugglers.
Go find sex traffickers.
Don't go after political opponents just because they have Trump Facebook posts that you don't like.
What you are witnessing and what is about to unfold is a 100-year clash and battle of the Wilsonian view of government versus the founders.
And we'll see who wins.
Joining us now is Michael Seifert from Public Square.
Michael, great to see you.
Happy Cyber Monday.
Tell us about everything happening at Public Square.
Good to see you too, Charlie.
Well, as we experienced a monumental and historic win on November 5th in the world of politics, we are also experiencing win after win in the economic space.
There is a Main Street revival taking place.
Small businesses across this country are being flooded With traffic and new consumers, as consumers are rejecting the mainstream retailers that they feel have really abused them for a long time, lectured them about social issues and acted more like progressive political organizations rather than functioning companies.
And so small businesses in America are feeling energized after a Trump win, which was desperately needed.
And on Black Friday, they saw your support.
On Small Business Saturday, they certainly did.
And today on Cyber Monday as well.
The small businesses of our great country deserve your support.
We've got incredible deals on Public Square from businesses that are made with clean ingredients, non-toxic ingredients like Alpinia Labs that's phenomenal at home care and essentials.
We've got great meat from companies like Biltong Barron.
We've got new watches if you're looking to buy a gift for a husband or A brother as you head into the Christmas shopping season from brands like the 2A Watch Company.
Charlie, there is a new Renaissance era at our doorstep if we're willing to run into it.
And I really sense that over the past few months, the frustrations that consumers have felt and the business owners have felt is now starting to experience a little bit of a light and tunnel as Trump won and as we're heading into what should be a very bright next four years for our small business economy.
So, All is good over here at Public Square, and we're encouraging consumers to continue supporting businesses that make the American community strong, and they can do that at PublicSquare.com.
So we're seeing more and more brands reject DEI like Walmart.
What do you think is behind that, Michael?
You seem to have been on the cutting edge of that for years.
Well, Charlie, I think it's twofold.
Number one is that they have recognized the writing on the wall.
Consumers do not want to buy what they have been selling.
So whether that's Walmart, Harley-Davidson, John Deere, Target, Bud Light, you're seeing brand after brand try to recover From their disastrous choices they've made out of corporate boardrooms over the past few years related to DEI and ESG. So in large part, it's because of you.
It's the watchers of this show.
It's you, Charlie, that have pushed back and have tried to pull the alarm to alert folks of what's going on in our economy.
The other thing I would say is that I think the political wins of the past few weeks have also communicated a very loud message that it's probably not ideal to go against the majority of the country.
Just like there was a clear mandate on November 5th with the win of not only the Electoral College but also the popular vote, I think you're starting to recognize a lot of companies seeing that there's an overall zeitgeist happening right now.
And if a company wants to stay in good graces with the American consumer, they cannot continue to cater to a tiny fringe majority or minority of the country, while the majority is actually wanting for these brands to embrace meritocracy again, excellence again, patriotism again.
So I think it's twofold.
It's a little bit of a push from American consumers that have made it clear through boycotts and through shifting their purchases.
And I also think there's a writing on the wall displayed through our political environment that makes it clear to the Walmarts of the world that what they were embracing in 2020, 2021, 2022 is not popular with the American people.
And it took a wide cultural awakening through this election to finally communicate that loud and clear.
Well said.
Go to publicsquare.com.
Michael, thank you so much.
Good to see you, Charlie.
Thanks so much for listening, everybody.
