Charlie Kirk (3:40)

I think that is exactly right. And so supposedly our intel agencies are very, very concerned with leaks, information, security and so on. But in reality, of course, they love leaks. And so yesterday, CNN had a very long article claiming that if Trump cuts the budget of the CIA, it would expose the nation's secrets because the CIA employees will go rogue and sell our secrets to foreign powers. And in other words, our intel community, our hostage takers, give us money we want or else. These are not patriots on a Paulina.

Cash Patel (4:10)

No, they're definitely not. And I can tell you, Charlie, that when I saw that, as a veteran, as someone that was subject to the ucmj where treason is death, I take that very seriously. And I actually have my team filing as we speak, legislation to increase the mandatory minimum for leaking secrets to foreign adversary from the intelligence agency as a death penalty. These are times that we cannot afford operatives like this being selfish and taking their own political agenda at the expense of the American people. When you leak classified information like that, you can potentially cause wars. There's big implications to that. This is not just, I don't like the President, I'm going to potentially set him up or leak information that can be deadly, it can be lethal. And what I can also tell you, Charlie, is when I first got to Washington, I was actually told by other well known, respected conservative members that, you know, outlets like the Washington Post, cnn, Politico, that they were mouthpieces for the intelligence agencies. Now we find that USAID was funding some of these outlets that was also taxpayer funds that were largely unvetted, unchecked. And now we're also finding that they are basically preparing people potentially for these leaks. And so I have faith in the new directors of these intelligence agencies, but it doesn't mean that within their own agencies, they're not facing deep, deep resistance from people that are simply un American. And this does need to be held, taken seriously. And also these people do need to be held accountable. I have faith that Cash, and also our new secretary will be flushing this out. But remember, if you're interfering also with a congressional investigation, which is what they're actively doing, those are contempt of Congress proceedings. And so I actually also spoke with the Oversight Task Force and they are talking to Chairman Comer about marking up contempt of Congress charges. Once we figure out who these individuals are. So whether it's from us, the Department of Justice, or from within the agencies, they are definitely in for world of pain.

Charlie Kirk (6:01)

So people want to know about the Epstein client list. Do you think we're going to get the goods and information of who visited Epstein's island and who was on the plane?

Cash Patel (6:10)

I initially thought we would because I had faith that Cash would give us whatever documents that he had. Now we're finding out for that whistleblower, and I'm actually talking to the whistleblower in about 10 minutes here directly to figure out if we can get leads on who those names are. Now we're finding out that potentially there was destruction of evidence. But as you saw over the weekend, Pam Bondi, our Attorney General, she actually said that she was reviewing documents and that they were on her desk. And so we've been largely pushing for the declassive, declassification of these documents. We haven't even seen them, Charlie. But that information, as well as the other information like jfk, rk, that belongs to the American people, that should not be siloed any longer. It's been years. And specifically with Jeffrey Epstein. I mean, look, this goes back into the whole conversation of do you think Jeffrey Epstein killed himself? I don't think he did. That's pretty wild. If you look at the people that he was involved with and the prison that he was in, that that could have happened. And so, you know, I think that there's a lot of powers at play here. Obviously, we did not anticipate that these people would be doing it so out in the open, but apparently they're, they're destroying evidence. And so this is a big. This is a big deal. I think that the American people need to understand the gravity of what this means and also understand that within our own agencies, our trusted agencies that are supposed to be there to defend and protect, that they are actively fighting against what President Trump wants for this country and transparency for the American people. So take note. Trying to undermine.

Charlie Kirk (7:40)

I hope everyone understands there is a rogue government right now that's operating, that there is a shadow government that has defined the will of the people and they are operating in direct defiance. It is a shadow government. We're gonna talk about this throughout the hour. But there is a rogue, out of control federal bureaucracy. The things that they get trouble from the media, we have to start perp walking and arresting them. And I have every faith and confidence in Cash Patel and Pam Bondi. We need federal workers arrested if they're destroying evidence. We need federal workers arrested if they're leaking information. Ana Paulina.

Cash Patel (8:11)

If they're leaking information, if they are undermining investigations. They are not friends of the American people. In my opinion. If you are selling information to a foreign adversary, you are an enemy of.

Charlie Kirk (8:20)

The state, without a doubt. And so we need to keep the pressure on when we find these instances, when we see them. These federal workers need to go to jail for the rest of their life if they, if it is true and these federal workers are destroying evidence regarding pending investigations and things that we, the American people, have a right to see. Who do they actually think they work for? They think they're in charge. They're in the technocratic class in the permanent oligarchy of the federal bureaucracy. Final thoughts, Congresswoman Anna Paulina Luna.

Cash Patel (8:51)

Look, we have a big, a big task cut out for us. This task force. We were again set up to be an action arm of the president to apply pressure and make sure that these documents were released to the American people. It's now looking like this is also turning into a criminal investigation because we're finding out that potentially our evidence has been destroyed. And so we need the American people to a make sure that they are sharing the correct information, but also keep the pressure on. Okay? Because we can only do so much here in Washington, but we are, we are a minority compared to what we are up against, especially within the intelligence communities. We need your help. Keep the pressure on and honestly pray for us because this is, this is a hard job, but with, you know, God's, God's good grace, we can get through it. But it's definitely been interesting to see the night fight take place in real time.

Charlie Kirk (9:36)

Thank you. Keep up the great fight, Anna. And we have your back. Thank you. There is an out of control rogue federal bureaucracy that is defying the will of the people. That's defying you, the voters. It is an existential threat to the United States constitutional order. We must bring them to a heel. And that means we need thousands of federal workers in handcuffs if that's what they are doing. Dan Bongino and Cash Patel are going to spend time rooting out what's happening within our government. If there are thousands of people that are leaking information, we need a few examples. Big ones. And by the way, this looks as if this is a widespread cancer within our government.

Just add a scoop of Ruff Greens, that is ruffgreens.com we are about to see a major political referendum. The midterms could be about this. We're so far out from the midterms, I don't even want to hypothesize this yet. But it could be where we're going. It could be we the people versus the shadow government. We have been warning that we are in the middle of a cold civil war. And that cold civil war almost went hot on July 13th in Butler, Pennsylvania. God forbid that would happen. A color revolution. And finally, we are at the gates to reassert control, to reassume control, to bring us back to our birth certificate. We are going back to first principles. How many branches? There are three. Who is in charge of article two? The President of the United States. Elon Musk sent out that email last weekend. And this is a perfect example of what we're dealing with. This is a young lady who could best be described as a brat. She's a spoiled brat who complains that she was intimidated by Elon Musk for asking the question, what did you do and what did you get done this week? Five things that you got done. She has no time to answer the email, but plenty of time to go on cnn. These people feel entitled to your taxpayer money. You're about to go pay taxes on April 15. Many of you might have to sell stock. Some of you guys are going to have to do tax deferrals to get all squared up with the Internal Revenue Service. And when you write that check to the irs, which might mean less family vacations, less might mean you can't go out to eat as much. When you write that check and you work your tail off, you are sending that money to people like her. This entitled federal worker who goes on television saying that she is so intimidated that someone would ask her what she does. This is a perfect example of what college campuses create. The type of software lazy mentality that has infected our institutions, and the nerve that this young woman has. I guarantee you she's a Harry Potter fan. I could just see it from a mile away. I'm 10 out of 10 in predicting this. By the way, here is Cut98, the blogger on Pottermore play Cut98. First, just tell us about this email and what it was like receiving it and what you all have talked about after getting it. Sure.

Unnamed Federal Worker (13:50)

I got this email Saturday afternoon about 3pm and I felt absolutely infuriated getting this email with a demand within 48 hours to provide a response on what I did within the last week or face termination. This is clearly an attempt from Elon Musk to harass and bully and intimidate the federal workforce, which is part of his broader plan to gut the federal workforce and privatize public sector services to ensure that corporations like his own can get more profit. And that makes me really angry. My coworkers as well.

Charlie Kirk (14:33)

All right, Hermione, calm down. That is a perfect example of a coddled, pampered and indulged federal worker. Do your job or better yet, you're fired. Why do you exist? What do you do? You're angry. I'm sorry, you don't get to call the shots here. We don't have the divine right of spoiled federal workers. I must have missed that. In the U.S. constitution, the sovereign is in the people. We are in charge and we give our sovereignty through elections to a president. The vesting cause says that all the power will be vested in a president. And now you have PTSD because you got an email. These people would not last 45 seconds in a private sector job or a service job. They might last that salesforce because the sales force and these big companies act at the government. Do you know where that attitude wouldn't be tolerated? With the muscular class. And that is why there's been an uprising of the muscular class against people like Hermione Granger here. The people that deliver your meals, the people that drive your trucks, the people that fix the plumbing in your home, the people that work as carpenters that shower before work and after work. And she's so smug. You know, if you go ask a carpenter what'd you do this week, he'd be like, I fixed this and I did that, and I did this and I did that. And she is a perfect example of the millions of people that, as I said yesterday and it went viral, have become parasites on the American taxpayer. When you guys work your tail off to write those checks to the irs, money that they are not entitled to, most of the time, you go send that money to these people that then have time to go on CNN and say, well, I was outraged. No, no, the American people are outraged and we're not going to subsidize anymore. We need mass firings. We need hundreds of thousands of these people to be terminated. Go work at your local Dunkin Donuts. Go work at your local McDonald's. Justify your job there. With the stock market at record highs.

Citizen Kane from citizenfreepress.com Now, Mr. Cain, I don't know if you know this or not, but you were highlighted in a segment that John Heilman did on his podcast and he said this guy Kane was on the Charlie Kirk Show. So I don't know if you know that or not, but I got to send you a link to that. But welcome, my friend.

Citizen Kane (18:02)

Yeah, no, I did not know that. Heileman. I wonder why Heileman caught. Caught a glimpse. Hey, you know, so I want to see Blake scores on those Hillsdale tests.

Charlie Kirk (18:14)

By the way, they're all a hundreds. It's crazy, Cain. So most Fridays we'll do this where we do an Ask Me Anything and during the breaks we keep streaming and it's not on radio, but it's on podcasting. And I ask Blake these questions and it's really, it's next level stuff. I'm talking about highly specified Roman history that he knows and so people could check it out. Charlieferhillsdale.com youm gotta take the courses, Kane. They're good stuff, I think.

Citizen Kane (18:41)

Yeah, I never even heard of him until I listened to your intro. And somehow I'm not surprised that Blake has that, you know, that knowledge sitting there deep in the cerebellum, you know, Charlie, as I was waiting, as I was waiting to come on, I was writing my five bullet points to Deutsch, to Doge. I figured, what the heck, I'm a federal worker.

Charlie Kirk (19:01)

What did you do this last week?

Citizen Kane (19:03)

Well, number one was I'm helping to destroy the Global Marxist Alliance. Number two, I cured 115 people of the woke mind virus. Number three, I made fun of Adam Schiff and that's as far as I got. But I'm loving all the hysteria over this list. It's insane. I put up a clip from Scott Jennings last night as he was making fun of Abby Philip and making fun of Anna Navarro just for their. These people are outraged at the idea that the government would want to know what they're doing and how they're earning their living. So I've been having fun with that stuff for sure.

Charlie Kirk (19:42)

I love it. Cain, how do you think Doge is resonating with the grassroots? How is it working with everyday people? Walk us through it. This is the most exciting, momentous reclamation of our government that I have seen in my 13 year career and that we've seen for over 100 years. Cain.

Citizen Kane (20:01)

Yeah, Charlie, I've been as I sort of touched on at the end of the last interview. I didn't get interested in politics until I was 21 working at CNN when the overnight editor started talking to me about the national debt. Right. So from that point I've been that that's what brought me to politics. I was a sports guy. That's what brought me to politics. And I actually thought I was going to do CNN sports. I. But that's a completely different story. But so the national debt and this whole idea of, of waste and fraud and bloated government spending, I've been waiting, you know, that means I've been waiting for this stuff for 35 years. I've been waiting for actual spending cuts. I remember stuff that there was something called the Penny Kasich bill. Penny was a congressman from Minnesota, John Kasich, the congressman from Ohio, and was an attempt at actually shrinking the size of government by 1% a year until we reached a balanced budget. And Andrew can busily sort of, you know, do a Wikipedia on the, on the Penny Kasich amendment. And it came within one vote of passing, Charlie. And I remember watching it live on CNN, excuse me, on C span. It was probably 93, 94ish. And it was really. Had we gotten. So anyway, my point is, I've had my hopes raised and shattered for 35 years, Charlie. Believe, you know, Simpson Bowles, just in 2015, the Obama attempt. Yeah. You know, look, for someone like me, I honestly don't care where the spending cuts come from. Just cut. There's no way, you know, I have the Kevin O'Leary, Mr. Wonderful attitude is cut more than you think because there's always more fat on the chicken. Cut more if you have to. Later you bring these people back. That's a little side, little tangent. I'm sure you've noticed how on Drudge and leftist media, they're like, oh, no, look, they fired these people and had to bring a few of them back. Well, that's how it's supposed to be. Get rid of them at first. Then if you see that you really need them, bring them back. So, you know, kind of trying to wrap this up. The answer. I'm so excited, Charlotte. I've never seen anything like these cuts. I'm covering it nonstop and I want more. And we haven't even got started. You know, Social Security, Defense, Medicare, Medicaid, those are going to be really, really big for cuts.

Charlie Kirk (22:19)

And Cain, the left is, is resisting at maximum pressure. It doesn't seem to be working. But this is coming forward to a referendum in so many ways that it's going to be the shadow government which is only a couple million people against the American people.

Citizen Kane (22:36)

Correct. And I realized that I forgot to answer that part of your original question, which is how is this playing with the base? What do people really feel? Well, obviously that, you know, the monster poll from Harvard Harris, that war room Bannon talked about it a bunch this morning and it was asked at the Macron Trump press conference that, you know, depending there were two or three questions about Doge, but they all got over 70% approval. You know, as many Democrats. I try to watch alternative media as much as I can and you know, you can't fight this stuff. The politicians are trying, but they're not getting any support. We had that press conference, I don't remember last week. There were just the, the full photo showed that there were just the five senators there and there were no people around him and they were screaming about what was going on at Doge. So there is no grassroots support, not to cut the government like this is turning on everyone. I've seen Jon Stewart say positive things. We've seen the Obama bros who do that podcast that they've commented positively. It's a public relations winner, I think. Look, we're all in it sort of minute to minute. So we see the negative stories that are written about Doge and we see what Drudge is sort of pushing and we see what's on cnn. But it's honestly, these polls show that that's not making any impact. That what, 80, 90% of independents and 100% of Republicans love these cuts. And so it's hard. How do you fight against, you know, how do you win a battle against removing government waste? You can't win. So I say we just, you know, ignore the naysayers and continue on.

Charlie Kirk (24:11)

Well, and Democrats are at an all time low of just 32% approval. Kain we dug the Republican Party out from our dark night of the soul post January 6th, and we have become the popular party and they have become a minoritarian, nasty, elitist oligarchy. Kane It's a remarkable reversible. I mean it's just, it's almost, it makes you speechless. And I'm a talk show host.

Citizen Kane (24:40)

I agree 100%, man. It's only 18 months too, because we know those Gallup polls I posted Gallup, I think they were at 35%, the lowest in history. And for all of this to have happened in 18 months, this sort of populist reversal, it sort of, it dovetails with the, you know, the expansion of the Republican MAGA working class, right from white working class to black to Hispanic to Asian, this, this sort of populism is really, really working. And I think when you add the Trump transparency and the Elon transparency on top of it, that's part of why it's winning independence and gaining more popularity, is because he's holding these press conferences and he's acting like a boss, but he's answering the questions and it's just something we've never seen. And I think that that has to be the explanation for what, for what you said, that it, you know, how does the Democrat party go from 50% approval to 32% approval in 18 months? It's cultural, it's media. And honestly, I never would have expected it would be this good.

Charlie Kirk (25:42)

And it shows that there was a pent up desire, an unspoken untold desire to reclaim the country. And they were looking for a vessel to hang onto. And that vessel very well happened to be Donald Trump and the MAGA movement. And I think it was this great convergence where on one side you had the MAGA movement that was on fire, on the other side you had this silent majority of Americans that were sick of the inflation, the open borders, the woke stuff. And they weren't necessarily Trump's biggest fan, but they said, oh, finally a movement that I can attach myself to. And boom, it set on like fire. And the Democrats underestimated at every turn. Kaine, final thoughts?

Citizen Kane (26:19)

Yeah, I mean, I would have say that I underestimated it. I didn't think it could all come together this smoothly. But I really feel like the, the, you know, the special sauce for this, you know, after having gathered this coalition, the special sauce is, what's happening now is these executive orders in the Oval Office is this extreme transparency. That's what's really turning on people. There's a clip at the top of the stack. I'll say really quick right now it's Jesse Waters sent his guy to Delaware and, and, and it was Delaware street interviews on Joe Biden. And what was really interesting is how all these people knew about the Doge cut, they knew about the crazy things that USAID was spending money on. And these, you know, just based on appearance, these aren't people you expected to know this. So it's all coming together and I feel, you know, I'm overjoyed, Charlie. I really didn't think that I could be this happy in.

Charlie Kirk (27:09)

We must keep the pressure on. Must keep the pressure on. That's right. Kane, you're the best. Come back soon. Thanks so much.

I mean, that's just a perfect segment for why she got canceled all of a sudden. She's talking in jive now, talking about being on the streets now that she's gotten canceled on her network show.

That feels indefensible and I do not defend it.

What does she make? 20 to 30 million dollars a year. Why doesn't Rachel Maddow give her salary to Joy Reid? Because that's equity. White lesbian Rachel Maddow gets to keep on having a show, but Joy Reid does not. That's not fair.
