Charlie Kirk on Trump's Tariff Power, Kash Patel's FBI Nomination, and Biden's Hunter Pardon

[00:00] and we thought it was just going to kind

[00:01] of be a sleepy Thanksgiving weekend we

[00:05] thought that you know in Trump World

[00:06] that it was just going to kind of be

[00:07] okay Trump is doing the YMCA dance at

[00:10] maral Lago nothing big nothing

[00:12] groundbreaking and oh no no we are in a

[00:15] brand new world a some would say A Brave

[00:18] New World not huxian but it certainly

[00:21] has some elements of that we this

[00:24] weekend A lot happened it started on

[00:25] Wednesday evening president Trump met

[00:27] with Mark Zuckerberg CEO of Facebook

[00:31] otherwise known as meta then on Friday

[00:34] president Trump had dinner with Justin

[00:36] Trudeau all of this by the way around

[00:40] his threats of tariffs against Mexico

[00:44] and Canada and

[00:46] China turns out the Tariff threats have

[00:48] worked so much so that Justin Trudeau

[00:51] boarded his plane well they don't do

[00:53] Thanksgiving in Canada boarded his plane

[00:56] the day after Thanksgiving to come down

[00:58] to basically get on his hands and KNE

[01:00] and beg president Trump will not wreck

[01:03] the Canadian economy you know it's so

[01:04] funny Democrats would say time and time

[01:06] again in order to solve the Border

[01:09] crisis you need a bipartisan border bill

[01:11] you need James lankford's Border bill

[01:13] you need a bipartisan consensus

[01:16] president Trump says just give me a

[01:17] phone call you want a multi-billion

[01:21] dollar border bill yeah that'll help if

[01:22] we do actual targeting of border patrol

[01:25] agents funding On the Border one phone

[01:28] call one truth social post and president

[01:31] Trump was able to

[01:34] allocate more than any bipartisan border

[01:37] Bill possibly would have feels like

[01:40] American power is finally being restored

[01:43] to the world then over the weekend on

[01:45] Saturday evening president Trump sent

[01:48] yet another shock wave to the system we

[01:51] already have Pete

[01:53] hegf we have Pam Bondi who's gonna do a

[01:55] great job we already have Tulsi gabard

[01:59] we already have Bobby Kennedy I mean we

[02:01] have this All-Star team we have Elon

[02:03] Musk we have V

[02:05] ramaswami however there was this open

[02:07] slot of who is going to control the

[02:11] FBI now the FBI interestingly enough was

[02:14] actually not chartered by the FBI even

[02:17] though it was given its name in 1935 by

[02:20] Congress in 1908 Attorney General

[02:24] Charles bonapart created the Bureau of

[02:27] Investigation otherwise known as the Boi

[02:30] it was an investigative Force within the

[02:32] Department of Justice bonapart hired 34

[02:35] people including some former secret

[02:37] service members to work for the agency

[02:41] in 1935 Congress gave it its current

[02:43] name the FBI now mind you the FBI is

[02:47] part of the Department of Justice it is

[02:50] part of the doj and the FBI's Authority

[02:54] comes from congressional statutes

[02:55] executive orders and code of federal

[02:58] regulations so the the FBI has always

[03:01] kind of it's not in the Constitution it

[03:03] is a form of the doj and president Trump

[03:07] sent another Shockwave nominating cash

[03:10] Patel to lead the

[03:12] FBI but then the even bigger news as if

[03:15] it was leading up Zuckerberg Trudeau

[03:18] cash Patel and then boom last night

[03:22] despite

[03:23] repeated proclamations statements and

[03:26] promises that he would not do

[03:28] this Joe Biden gave a blanket pardon to

[03:32] his son Hunter Biden now it wasn't just

[03:36] a pardon for the crimes that he was

[03:38] convicted of it was a blanket pardon

[03:41] going all the way back to 2014 which

[03:44] interestingly now covers all of the

[03:46] Ukrainian and the Chinese Communist

[03:49] party activities that the Biden family

[03:50] was involved in this comes while we're

[03:53] also seeing other leftwing billionaires

[03:56] like Reed Hoffman talking about fleeing

[03:59] the country

[04:01] if these people did nothing wrong why

[04:04] are they so worried about the government

[04:06] coming after them you see Joe Biden

[04:09] pardoning his son again I'm not going to

[04:10] get too worked up about this a father

[04:13] should look after his son family does

[04:16] come first but from the presidential

[04:18] standpoint this is much more about the

[04:23] corruption and the lying and the

[04:26] deception of the president of the United

[04:28] States Joe Biden all along should have

[04:30] just said look I'm going to look very

[04:32] closely at it and I feel if my son is

[04:34] mistreated I'm going to Pardon him no

[04:36] instead Joe Biden promised to the

[04:38] American people this is not going to

[04:40] happen no one is above the law is what

[04:43] he was saying in fact that was the whole

[04:45] leftwing talking point that no one is

[04:47] above the law in may have you ruled out

[04:51] a pardon for your son play Cut

[04:53] 29 and I am satisfied that I'm not going

[04:57] to do anything I said I said abide by

[05:00] the jury decision I will do that and I

[05:02] will not pardon him but let me ask you

[05:04] will you accept the jury's outcome their

[05:07] verdict no matter what it is yes and

[05:10] have you ruled out a pardon for your son

[05:12] yes this nation was founded on the

[05:15] principle there are no Kings in

[05:17] America each of us is equal before the

[05:22] law no one is above the law each each of

[05:26] us is equal before the law the American

[05:28] principle that no one is above the law

[05:32] was reaffirmed in my Administration no

[05:35] one in my no one is above the

[05:39] law breaking news shows the president

[05:42] has discussed pardoning Hunter Biden

[05:45] with some of his closest AIDS at least

[05:47] since Hunter Biden's conviction in June

[05:50] they decided at the time that he'd

[05:52] publicly say he would not par in him

[05:54] even though it remained on the table so

[05:56] basically we're just going to lie it is

[05:59] the

[06:00] same

[06:02] cabal that told you the vaccine was safe

[06:04] and effective the same group of people

[06:07] that told you that you need to have six

[06:09] feet of social distancing the same

[06:11] people that told you these early

[06:12] treatments like ior meon and

[06:14] hydroxychlor when were horse paste and

[06:17] was going to kill

[06:18] you the same people that told you the

[06:21] virus came from the some wet Market in

[06:26] Wuhan St P told you that Vladimir Putin

[06:29] was going to March through Europe and

[06:32] he's the new Vladimir Putin that Ukraine

[06:34] is vital to American National

[06:37] Security the reason Trump won is because

[06:40] we don't trust any of these

[06:45] people this is Karen John Pierre saying

[06:48] that no one is above the law play Cut

[06:51] 31 the president believes no one is

[06:54] above uh is is above the law and the

[06:56] president met the moment talking about

[06:58] how no one is above the law here does

[07:01] the president uh have any intention of

[07:03] pardoning him we've been asked that

[07:05] question multiple times our answer

[07:07] stands which is

[07:10] no and they they've lied about it

[07:21] repeatedly you see the media here

[07:24] doesn't quite understand what's going on

[07:26] here let's play Cut

[07:28] eight earlier in the evening the

[07:30] president released a statement reading

[07:32] in part there has been an effort to

[07:34] break Hunter who has been five and a

[07:36] half years sober even in the face of

[07:39] unrelenting attacks and selective

[07:41] prosecution in trying to break Hunter

[07:44] they've tried to break me and there's no

[07:46] reason to believe it will stop here

[07:48] enough is enough and just now Donald

[07:52] Trump posted on his truth Social account

[07:54] quote does the pardon given by Joe to

[07:57] Hunter include the j6 h hostages who

[08:00] have now been imprisoned for years such

[08:03] an abuse and miscarriage of

[08:06] Justice don't you just love that they

[08:08] have to read his truth social word for

[08:10] word you you could tell they just hate

[08:11] it they hate it this does open the door

[08:14] by the way it moves the Overton window

[08:16] for president Trump to get very

[08:18] aggressive on pardons out the gate now

[08:20] by the way he didn't need that kind of

[08:22] signal to do that but the January Sixers

[08:25] need full

[08:27] Pardons and especially especially

[08:30] any of the nonviolent January Sixers you

[08:32] look at seaka masay who just took a step

[08:36] into the capital boom facing federal

[08:38] prison time the praying grandmothers

[08:41] that went on Capital grounds not only

[08:44] that every active

[08:46] investigation surrounding January 6

[08:48] needs to be dropped every single one and

[08:50] also what should be I'm sorry there's

[08:52] one thing that should be investigated

[08:54] how many federal agents were there on

[08:56] January 6 and who planted the pipe bumps

[09:00] can we get a pipe bomb investigative

[09:04] Zar now I'm not a big fan of special

[09:06] councils but can we get some can we put

[09:09] Jack Smith on that one Jack Smith who

[09:11] pled the pipe

[09:13] bombs K Harris almost died you want to

[09:16] talk about a threat to democracy imagine

[09:18] if the DNC and the RNC would have blown

[09:20] up on January 6 that would be a threat

[09:24] to democracy who did that who planted

[09:26] the pipe bombs and why has no one been

[09:28] arrested why don't we have the cell

[09:30] phone pings to be able to tell out tell

[09:33] who that is who is

[09:38] there

[09:39] the rising Truth and Reconciliation

[09:43] Commission could look into a lot of

[09:45] these

[09:48] things Adam

[09:50] Schiff introduced a bill back in 2018 to

[09:55] keep Trump from abusing pardon powers

[09:58] for his family where is Adam Schiff now

[10:00] the new senator from California play Cut

[10:04] 28 so the president's pardon of scooter

[10:06] Libby Congressman has inspired you to

[10:08] propose new legislation what exactly

[10:10] would it do what it would do is say that

[10:13] in the event the president pardons

[10:14] anyone in an investigation in which the

[10:17] president is a witness a subject or the

[10:20] target those investigative files will

[10:23] all be turned over to the Congress the

[10:25] Congress ought to know whether the

[10:26] president is using the pardon power to

[10:29] obstruct Justice the American people

[10:31] have a right to know uh I think it is

[10:34] clearly constitutional it doesn't

[10:35] prohibit him from granting a pardon even

[10:38] a pardon he shouldn't Grant but it does

[10:40] say that we will be able to at least

[10:42] find out whether the president is using

[10:44] this power to Shield himself uh from

[10:47] liability it offers transparency at the

[10:49] very

[10:51] least transparency I I I am curious our

[10:54] our resident historian Blake can do this

[10:58] has this is this the first family

[11:01] presidential pardon in American history

[11:03] like immediate father son father

[11:06] daughter it's not okay there have been

[11:08] others oh Bill Clinton did I didn't know

[11:10] he pardoned

[11:12] uh his daughter I didn't know that oh he

[11:15] pardoned his brother okay has anyone

[11:19] pardoned their biolog not just bi their

[11:23] kids I know that Trump pardoned Jared

[11:25] kushner's dad

[11:30] it's

[11:31] interesting email us as always Freedom

[11:34] Charle kirk.com And subscribe to our

[11:37] podcast and yeah it was technically

[11:39] Clinton's half brother I think was the

[11:42] closest president Trump day one has a

[11:45] mandate to issue Mass Pardons and

[11:48] commutations across the board and if you

[11:51] read Joe

[11:52] Biden's

[11:55] description as to why he did this he

[11:57] says oh no one really trusts the

[11:58] department of Justice interesting Joe

[12:01] Biden your Department of Justice is the

[12:03] one that went after Donald Trump to try

[12:05] to throw him in prison for 700 years you

[12:08] went around saying that nobody is above

[12:11] the

[12:14] law and again I mean a father has to

[12:17] look after his

[12:19] son I tweeted that immediately it

[12:21] doesn't get me as fired up on the actual

[12:23] action of doing it it's a bad look no

[12:26] doubt it smells of coruption Hunter

[12:30] Biden is a stone cold

[12:33] criminal but you can't fault a father

[12:35] for looking after his son you

[12:38] can't however you can fault a president

[12:41] for desecrating the office of the

[12:42] presidency and both those things can

[12:44] mutually be true everybody thanks so
