Thank you for listening to this Podcast 1 production now available on Apple Podcasts, Podcast 1, Spotify, and anywhere else you get your podcasts. Hey, everybody. Great to be back in the saddle. Thank you for listening to our interview with President Trump. If you have not checked it out, you guys have got to download the episode and listen to my exclusive interview with President Trump. So while I was planning the rally for the president in Phoenix, Arizona, with over 3,000 students, I was still watching this story because I was so bothered when I saw this guy named Bubba Wallace. Look, I didn't know Bubba Wallace up until a couple weeks ago. I have a lot of respect for people in nascar. I have a lot of friends in nascar, but NASCAR is not exactly my favorite activity in the world. And that's fine. Everyone has their own preferences, and that's fine. So when Bubba Wallace, who I'd never heard of before, he said, I found a noose in my garage. And the team at the Charlie Kirk show, we have a text message to prove it. They will tell you. I said, this is a hoax 100%. Like, there's no way that what is being accused is that someone came in during this time of heightened racial tensions and put in a news. So on Monday, it was reported the FBI was investigating the discovery of of a noose found in the Talladega Superspeedway garage of Bubba Wallace. Now, mind you, he's NASCAR's only black driver, so he's a total fool. He walks around with his Black Lives Matter shirt and he was the big voice to try to ban the Confederate flags. Again, I'm not a huge Confederate flag advocate. I'm not someone that would ever associate with a Confederate flag. However, I think that when people have Confederate flags, it's less of in defense of what the Confederacy stood for and more about Southern pride and a culture that is uniquely Southern within the United States of America. So I do not support the forcible removal of Confederate flags. I don't. But on the morning of Talladega, one of NASCAR's biggest races of the entire season, Bubba Wallace said he found a noose in his garage. Now, mind you, because of the Chinese coronavirus, fans were not granted access to the infield or the restricted area of the Cup Series garage. Very important. So under strict new health guidelines, a very limited number of people can access the garage where the cars are kept. That would include crew members for each of the 40 teams, which are NASCAR employees. Talladega staff members and any contractor, safety crews or security guards were only people that had access to it. So you're dealing with a limited population as it is now. Of course, the response to when he said he found the news, it was so quick and overwhelming and reactionary. As soon as I was watching it, I said, there's no way this is true. It's just, first of all, it's hard to get restricted access into any sort of individual's private locker. Second of all, during this time in our country, it would just be so illogical and improbable that someone would do this, especially to NASCAR's only black driver. It didn't add up. And so Jeff Gordon, who called it a cowardly act, NASCAR driver Michael McDowell said, God help us, the level of evil it takes to do something like this is disgusting. This is enraging and heartbreaking all at the same time. Alabama Governor Kay Ivey said she was shocked and appalled by this vile act. She fell for the hoax, as did many other conservatives. I didn't, and I have the text messages to prove it. I only wish I would have went public with it, but I didn't because, I don't know. I don't want to have to deal with the hysteria of that and then backtrack and this and that. The vindication, by the way, would be nowhere even close to the canceling that I would have experienced if I would have done what I believed was a conjecture at the time, because I did it on just a little bit of gut instinct. But it turned out to be true. And of course, LeBron James, who we have cataloged plenty of times on this show, who's a total fool, he said this sickening Bubba Wallace, my brother, no, you don't stand alone. I'm with you as well as every other athlete is. I just want to continue to say how proud I am for you, to continue to stand, to take a change here in America and in sports. And the future ex senator of Alabama, Doug Jones, who is also a fool and very lucky he ran up against who he ran up against. He said, we're with you, Bubba. The journey to racial justice has taken far too long. Keep your eyes on Bubba Wallace at Talladega. Keep that racist noose in your thoughts and ask, when will this end? Maybe Bubba can get us a checkered flag a little bit sooner. It's time, America. Okay, but if we've learned anything in the age of media coverage under Donald Trump, it's that things are not always what they might seem. That's why I said what I said internally. And I had our team, I said, we're not issuing any statements. By the way. I had people reaching out. They said, well, Charlie, what's your thought on Bubba Wallace? He said, I'll get back to you. I don't really want to jump on. I mean, there's so many. There were other conservatives that were just tweeting out like, oh, this is horrible, this is awful. I said, hold on a second, slow down. After Jussie Smollett, after the Covington thing, which I admit I got the Covington thing wrong because I believe the media report. I said, wait a second, I'm going to learn from this. And how about the Kentucky gun range that ABC tried to pass off as a war in Syria? If the media can exploit a hoax to hurt Trump or disparage his base, they absolutely will.

So first of all, 15 FBI agents, what are they going to go arrest Roger Stone? I mean, it's unbelievable. I mean, we can't get 15 FBI agents to go find out who's burning down American cities or to go arrest the domestic terrorists all across the country. And what did they determine? Well, as the Associated Press reported, U.S. attorney Jay Towne and FBI Special Agent in Charge Johnny Sharp Jr. Said its investigation determined, quote, although the noose is now known to have been in the Garage No. 4 in 2019, no one could have known Mr. Wallace would be assigned to Garage 4 last week. Now mind you, it was not a noose. It looks Like a noose. But it's not a noose. It's a garage door closer. A crew member for Richard Petty Motorsports discovered the thing that looks like the noose. Sunday at the Alabama racetrack, NASCAR was alerted and contacted the FBI, which sent 15 agents. What, are they going to go invade a Central American country? I mean, 15? Would 5 not have been sufficient? My goodness. And they determined that no federal crime was committed. The statement said the garage stall was assigned to Wallace last week in advance of the race scheduled for Sunday, but held on Monday because of rain. Though through video, though, it confirmed by nascar, it was discovered that the thing that looked like the noose was there since October 2019. And I just want to point out, and I've said this previously, I'm going to say it again. Why is it that the FBI was so aggressive on this? Where are their priorities? Has the bureau arrested anyone for these statues that I know of? Maybe a couple people here and there are little parking violation citations, but, like, real federal charges. Here's some of the facts. It was a garage door opener. It looked like something bad. It wasn't. Now, I understand Bubba Wallace is not very intelligent. I understand he's a total and complete fool. But for him to double down and repeat this. Maybe not. Maybe Bubba Wallace can be like, wow, that looks like a noose. Instead of making a media sensation around this, where everyone takes a lap with Bubba Wallace and they get the entire news cycle around it, maybe Bubba Wallace should have been like, huh, Maybe it's a garage door opener. Maybe brilliant Bubba Wallace. But again, even now, you have the media covering for it. I mean, there was a New York Times article that basically was like, the complicated story about Bubba Wallace's discovery. It's really not that complicated. You have a foolish, emotive, pathological individual, Bubba Wallace, who, again, he's not that smart, so you can't give him that hard of a time. But this is so reckless. It's so unbelievably reckless. So then Bubba goes on CNN with Don Lemon, and the combined IQ of that duo is dangerously low. And he said this quote, it was a noose. It was a noose that. Whether it was tied to 2019 or whatever, it was a noose. He said it three times. How you know he's lying? So it wasn't directed at me, but somebody tied a noose four times. Play tape.
