We are rolling into Thanksgiving and of course we all have a lot to be thankful for, certainly on the political scene. We're just thankful that we don't have a continuation of Biden and Harris and think of what the country would be like. We have enough problems as it is, but a rescue operation is entirely different from making things a lot, lot worse. And so we have that to be thankful for. Not to mention countless blessings that you and I have in our ordinary lives. By the way, tomorrow will be the last podcast for this week and then were off Thursday through Sunday and pick it up on Monday.

So this is an excellent time to make sure you get everything in early and then you're good to go. I'd like to say a couple of words in a semi humorous mode about Candace Owens and some of her theories about how the Charlie Kirk assassination is connected now somehow to efforts to assassinate her. And these efforts are being spearheaded, evidently by the French. And it all has to do with her claims that Brigitte Macron, the wife of the President Macron, is really a man. Those theories themselves evolved over the years. First it was that Macron's wife is a man. Then it turns out that that this was in fact a man whose sister died. And then he became a woman to, in a sense, become his sister. This is all a little too convoluted to really follow. And of course, no surprise, there is a Jew involved and there's an Israeli assassin. So evidently it's a pack of French assassins. But maybe because the French have never learned to shoot straight, they needed an Israeli to go with them. And according to Candace, she has turned all this information over to the authorities. No word from the authorities so far. My guess is no word will be forthcoming. And pretty soon Candace will conclude that the absence of response from the authorities shows that they too are in on the COVID up. Who isn't? And so really all of this, you know, there are a couple of theories here. One of them is that Candace is just suffering from a psychiatric breakdown. And I think that cannot be dismissed. I saw a post a day or so ago that basically said that this lawsuit filed by the Macron family is so crushing and crushing because Candace was repeatedly not only warned, but sent all kinds of evidence, birth records and photographic evidence and pictures of Brigitte Macron and her kids and her first marriage before she married Macron. All of this is provided to Candace. So in other words, it's difficult for Candace to say, I was operating in good faith. I really thought this all was true. Evidently they made every effort to show her that it's not true, but she forged full speed ahead anyway. I've never really seen anything quite like it. And of course, the other theory is that all of this is just being done for social media attention. Something that's kind of hard for me to grasp. People sometimes accuse me, well, Dinesh, you're only saying these things for clicks. And I'm like, no, I don't really. I mean, first of all, I don't make a Living on social media. Social media is like my pastime. And so I do it kind of for fun. I do it to keep abreast of some of the stuff going on, both relevant and crazy. I do it because I kind of like being in the fray. It's, to me, entertaining and amusing and interesting. Now, sure, social media is one of the ways that I promote my films, and that's just because it is part of the, you know, the pipes, as they say, of our culture. It used to be the pipes were articles and television appearances, but now it's all those things, plus also social media. Let me talk for a bit about this dismissal by a judge, by the way, a Democratic appointee judge of the Comey and Letitia James indictments. This is an obvious setback for the Trump administration and for the doj. It caused Comey to make a kind of pompous video. I've been exonerated. Although you know what? I fear they might try to do it again. And it does look like this dismissal is going to be appealed. Now, when you look at the decision by the judge, she is not saying that there is no merit to it. She is not saying that Comey is innocent. She is not saying that he didn't lie to Congress as alleged in the indictment. In fact, the prosecutor, Halligan, Lindsey Halligan, has produced documentary evidence that we haven't seen before, pretty well showing that Comey was very much in on it, very much part of the plot to frame Trump, quite knowledgeable about facts to the contrary when he testified to Congress. But according to the judge, all of this needs to be dismissed because Halligan, who was appointed by the DOJ to fill a vacant slot, is not properly appointed. In other words, the issue here is not the merits of the case. It's not even the claim that Comey didn't do any of it. It is that the process of naming the prosecutor, it was invalid. And this is the relevant section in the law. If an appointment expires under subsection C2, the district court for such district may appoint a U.S. attorney to serve until the vacancy is filled. So the law seems to say that the district court may do this, but may doesn't mean must. The judge seems to be saying that only the district court could make an interim appointment, and an interim appointment cannot be made by the doj. So this is a case where, reading the language of the law, it is a little cloudy, but the court is reading it to say that this is a bogus appointment. Now, let's say that Lindsay Halligan's appointment is somehow invalid and there should have been a different procedure followed, or maybe even that she shouldn't have been appointed at all and somebody else should have. My point is so what? And I say so what because a case is brought by a prosecutor operating under the authority of the doj, operating under the authority of the federal branch of the Department of Justice, which is part of the Trump administration. And this particular prosecution was cleared by the DOJ and approved at the highest levels by the doj. In other words, approved by people like Pam Bondi. They signed off on it. And in that sense, the prosecutor Halligan is their agent. So whether or not the prosecutor was properly appointed would seem to have no bearing on whether or not the case is properly brought and whether or not the case has any merit. So I think that there is a good possibility. I'm not a lawyer, but I'm just thinking out loud. I'm quite capable of doing basic legal reasoning. In accordance with statutes and in accordance with law. The appellate court could easily conclude that regardless of whether or not the Halligan appointment is valid, the. The indictment itself is valid, and therefore this dismissal is unwarranted. So right now, I'm sure there's some champagne corks being popped in the Letitia James quarters and the Comey quarters. Both of them seem to be caught red handed, the one for just lying, the other for doing mortgage shenanigans, as her indictment alleges. And so it would be a real pity if these two get off the hook simply on a technicality. It won't be the first time it's happened. But it really also shows, by the way, from the Trump administration side, the importance of doing this by the book. And I say this because Democrats could do it in the last four years and they didn't have to follow the book. Why? Because for the most part, they had Democratic appointee judges in Washington, D.C. and these judges would just kind of sign off and go along and overlook any kinds of errors that they made. They were basically in cahoots with the prosecution. That is not the case here in almost all those cases. And this will also apply to the Bolton case. You have Democrat nominee judges who are going to be looking at these indictments with a certain type of ideological hostility that is to be expected. And therefore, we got to do things the right way in order to get the right result. You know, incorporating a wide variety of Whole Foods ingredients into my daily routine is key for me.

The answer is you get corruption. Now, corruption, I wouldn't say is the exclusive province of one party over the other, but I would say it is much more predominant, much more congruent with the Democrats than with the Republicans. There are really two reasons for this. One is the Democrats know they can get away with it, and they have gotten away with it. Think about people like Hillary Clinton, who was stayed one step ahead of the posse for like 40 years. Think about Obama, who can sleep at night because he's one of the most, maybe the most protected man in the world. And it's very difficult even when he does stuff, to hold him accountable for it. I'm not even sure there's been any serious investigation into various deaths that have surrounded Obama, his steward who drowned outside the Obama estate and Martha's Vineyard earlier, when Obama was subsequent to his being an attendee at Jeremiah Wright's church, a choir boy, a choir leader alleged to be involved romantically sexually with Obama, was gunned down in his apartment unsolved to this day. And so, so Democrats by and large have lived a charmed life in relationship to the law. And even when they've done really bad stuff, you're surprised at how light their penalties are. And I could give you many cases like this. The other reason Democrats tend to be corrupt is they tend to think of the government's money as their money. In other words, they tend to think of the government's money as money that has been allocated to them to spend. And they spend it on their own political benefits. They spend it on their own campaigns. They spend it on programs that end up getting votes for them. And so they think if I spend some of it on myself, like what's the difference? What's the real difference between benefiting me this way and that way and this way and that way or this way, even if this seems to run somewhat afoul of the law. Now we see in the case of representative Sheila Cerfilius McCormick, by the way, not somebody I knew of before, she is a representative, a Democratic congresswoman in Florida. And she and three co defendants have been charged with stealing basically $5 million of COVID money. Now, it's interesting how this all came about. It turns out that she and some associates, in fact, including her brother, a guy named Edwin Cherfilius, they ran this company called Trinity Trinity Healthcare Services. And they made a deal with fema, or the Federal Emergency Management Agency under Covid to hire to provide personnel for Covid Services. Evidently, the company is providing people who were overseeing vaccinations and maybe helping out at these various Covid centers, clerical staff, nurses and canvassers at these vaccination sites. So in 2021, this company billed FEMA for $50,578.50. And the government, incredibly, wrote them a check not for $50,000, but for $5 million. In fact, $5,057,850. So they basically moved a couple of decimal places. And by the way, governments are notorious for this kind of carelessness. Think about it. It's not their money. They don't really care. And who knows what kind of COVID abuses there occurred. There was just so much money sloshing around, I wouldn't be surprised if Covid fraud was in the billions of dollars. When a government can just tax people and get the money or PR print money, there's a certain type of reckless indifference to it all. So anyway, $5 million of unearned money goes into this company's bank account. Now, evidently they figured it out. On the day the money came, Sheila Cerfilius McCormick took a screenshot of the bank of America activity. She texted it to her brother, and then about a month later, the money began to move. A few months later, 2.4 million moves from Bank Account 1 to Bank Account 2, which was under a different name, SEM Consulting. On the same day, another $190,000 was moved from Bank Account 1 to Bank Account 5, which is an account controlled by Edwin Cherfilius. This is the brother. The next day, $1.2 million, $1.25 million has moved from Bank Account 1 to Bank Account 9, which is controlled by two other family members. A few days later, $830,000 moved from Bank Account 1 to bank account 7, controlled by a friend of Cher Filius in Orlando. And on and on it goes. You get the idea. There's evidently even a campaign aspect of this where they're moving money around to people and then funneling it back into Sheila Truffilius McCormick's campaign funds. So she decides, hey, you know, I run for election. Why don't I funnel some of this money to help me for that purpose? And what I'll do instead of the money comes in straight, people are going to look where to come from. So I'll funnel it through friends and family members who will then funnel it to the campaign. Now, this sounds actually a little bit like the straw donations that I got involved in in 2012 in the Wendy Long campaign. But of course, the big difference in my case was I was giving my own money. In this case, she is funneling money that is provided initially by the government. That's not money that's due to her. It was. It came into her account by accident. Now, I'm quite sure. Well, there's a final aspect to this, and that is that the defendants, which is to say Congresswoman Surefilius McCormick and her brother, they lied to the IRS. So they can't obviously say to the IRS that we have been stealing government money and not returning it when it's erroneously put into our account. So they had to account for the money some other way. So the tax fraud is on top of all the other illegalities. Now, in fairness, I can kind of see what the defense is going to say in this case. They're going to say, listen, we didn't ask the government for this money. We didn't bill the government for this money. They decided out of their own stupidity to give it to us and they put it in our account. So why are we obliged to give it back? So there's going to be a certain kind of almost commonsensical, that's your mistake, not mine. But as it turns out, this is not, I repeat, not the law. The law is actually pretty clear. This isn't your money. If money is erroneously deposited, let's say, for example, I'm trying to send you a wire for $1,000, and the bank erroneously sends you the wire for $10,000. You don't get to keep the other nine. It's true. It's not your mistake. The money just showed up in your account. But the issue here is not that you were. You had no idea and the money just sat in your account and you're happy to give it back. It's that you are fully aware of what's going on. You're like, aha, this is fantastic. Let's start moving this money out of here before they figure all this out. In fact, maybe they'll never figure it out and we just get to keep the money. So the. It looks to me like this is a pretty clear Cut. If these facts are true, as alleged, and of course, we have good reason to believe they are, this woman has been indicted. I haven't seen any public claims that she did anything, that she didn't do any of this. It looks like she's been caught red handed. Now, what's going to happen to her? Well, there was an effort on the part of the Republican Congress to censure her that got ensnared in a bunch of procedural issues and got blocked. The censure resolution failed, but I don't think that's going to make any difference. I actually predict that representative Sheila Cherfilius McCormick will pretty soon be. She will resign. And very soon, either she's going to do it on her own account, of her own accord, as they say, or Hakeem Jeffries is going to make her do it. Now, you might go, wait a minute. These Democrats are so corrupt, they're perfectly capable of keeping corrupt people in their stable. And I think all of that is true. But I also think that there is a limit. If there is a case where the facts are in dispute. The Democrats could say, well, we're going to let this all play out and through the legal system. But on the other hand, when you've got straight out theft like this and essentially a Democratic congresswoman with her hand in the cookie jar, no one can argue here that when you're talking about a $50,000 invoice, you get 5 million that you didn't notice. Well, if you had left the money there, you could make that claim. But since you started moving it, you did notice. And in fact, you were kind of quickly clearing it out of your account so that it wouldn't even be there if somebody figured it out. If someone goes, well, you know, is all this money, how do you claim? Well, the money's gone. So the money was quickly shoveled into multiple other accounts, obviously to move it out of the place where it was accident, where it accidentally landed from the, from the federal government. So this is a woman I think is going to get her comeuppance. And it seems, at least, if the facts are true, as alleged, that this is well deserved. Thanksgiving holds so many memories.

Guys, I am a huge fan of our next guest, guest Miranda Devine. She's been on the podcast before. She just seems to produce this excellent combination of breaking news reporting and at the same time, excellent and insightful commentary. She's a New York Post columnist, she's a Fox News contributor, but she's also the host of the weekly show Pod Force One, which you can find on YouTube. You can follow her on Xiranda Devine and of course her Latest book, the Big Guy, available where books are sold. Miranda, great to have you on the podcast. Thanks for. Thanks for joining me. I want to talk to you about two topics that you've been covering and writing and speaking about. The first one is Thomas Crooks, the fellow who fired multiple shots at Trouble Trump in Butler, Pennsylvania. And the other is a recent conversation you had with J.D. vance. But let's start with. Let's start with Thomas Crooks. It seemed for a long time that we knew little or nothing about this guy. There had been some intimations that he acted on his own or there was no indication that he had any co conspirators. But you have been able to put out through sources some new information on Crooks that evidently the FBI was holding back. Can you talk about what that new information is? And then maybe we could try to explore why the FBI has been kind of keeping this information close to its chest.
