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. |
| 0:55.7 | He's done an amazing job. Building one of the most powerful youth organizations ever created, |
| 1:01.0 | Turning Point USA. We will not embrace the ideas that have destroyed countries, destroyed lives, |
| 1:07.2 | and we are going to fight for freedom on campuses across the country. That's why we are here. |
| 1:14.3 | Brought to you by the loan experts I trust, Andrew and Todd at Sierra Pacific Mortgage at |
| 1:19.1 | Andrew and Todd.com. I'll tell you, I called the president this weekend. We had an amazing |
| 1:25.7 | conversation. He was in |
| 1:27.8 | New York. And I was telling him that are a great event at Moralago. And he said, what do you think about vice president? Who do you think I should choose? I said, Tucker Carlson. It was warmly received. And I'm going to keep on, what I lobby privately here on a public on the show, I do private. There's no agenda. |
| 2:02.4 | The agenda is the country. And so we're an open book. I said exactly that. And we had a great chat about it. Okay, joining us now is Will Scharf, who should be a Missouri's next attorney general. I'm going to do whatever I can to make sure that happens. Will is a great American. He's terrific. Will, welcome to the program. Will, we've been gaming out this entire hour, |
| 2:08.2 | specifically on the lawfare deal. You are on Trump's legal team. Is that right, Will? |
| 2:17.6 | That's correct, yeah. Yeah, okay, so you can really speak from authority on this. Let me tell you my fear. And again, I am simply a layman. I didn't go to college, right? So I'm just looking at this as an outsider. My fear is that they're going to try to get him to be a convicted felon before, |
| 2:23.3 | let's just say, July 4th. Walk us through the timeline as it stands and kind of catch us all up to |
| 2:31.0 | speed here. Sure. So I think it's very clear. It has been from the start that the purpose |
| 2:37.0 | of this DC case that they brought against him over so-called election interference is basically |
| 2:43.9 | to railroad him, to force him to be in trial at the height of campaign season. The timing is essentially the point. |
| 2:52.8 | So the judge there, District Judge Tanya Chutkin set a trial date for early March, |
| 2:58.7 | the day before Super Tuesday would be the first day of trial. What's happened, though, |
| 3:04.6 | is there are very serious legal issues that that case raises, probably most importantly, issues regarding presidential immunity, the fact that a president, in our view, cannot be prosecuted for acts he took while he was president that fell even within the outer perimeter of presidential duties and responsibilities. So we took an appeal on |
| 3:26.4 | that issue up to the D.C. Circuit. And yesterday, Jack Smith's team sought to short circuit that entire |
| 3:33.5 | process and bring the case directly to the Supreme Court. I saw that Jason Willick at the Washington |
| 3:39.4 | Post posted on Twitter yesterday that that move |
