Guests: Dave Aronberg, Mike Davis, Benny Johnson
Episode: 1201

Episode Overview

This episode centers on three main topics:

1. The dismissal of indictments against James Comey and Letitia James and the legal/constitutional ramifications.
2. Media bias and absurdity, highlighted by recent comments from Katie Couric and Jen Psaki.
3. Cultural commentary, including the scrutiny of Jennifer Lopez’s revealing outfits and a broader discussion on decency, faith, and political divisions.

The hosts and guests engage in frank, combative, and often humorous debate about the latest legal, political, and cultural headlines.

1. Legal Breakdown: Comey and Letitia James Indictments

(Starts at ~03:24)

Context

A Clinton-appointed judge dismissed indictments against James Comey (former FBI Director) and Letitia James (Attorney General of New York). The grounds: improper appointment of Trump prosecutor Lindsey Halligan. Megyn Kelly and guests dig into the ramifications, legal minutiae, and expected next moves.

Key Points and Analysis

• The Statute in Question:

  • After a US Attorney’s 120-day interim term, only a district court should re-appoint a replacement per the judge’s interpretation. Halligan was appointed by the AG, not the court.
  • Megyn disagrees with the ruling, arguing that Congress didn’t intend to give sole appointment power to judges.
  • “It would take the powers of appointment away from the executive branch and give them to the judiciary, which makes zero, zero sense.” (Megyn Kelly, 06:40)

• Separation of Powers Concerns:

  • Mike Davis blasts Judge Curry’s decision as “pure judicial activism” and predicts reversal:
    • “She made up language in the statutes to get the result she wanted. That is going to get reversed on appeal...but the Democrats got what they wanted...an embarrassment for Lindsey Halligan and delay.” (Mike Davis, 10:32)

• Debate on Re-Indictment and Statute of Limitations:

  • If Halligan was never validly appointed, Comey argues his indictment was void, and so cannot be refiled as the statute of limitations expired.
  • Dave Aronberg: “Void ab initio...you can’t fix a defect when she did not have the right to even sign the indictment from the beginning.” (13:38)
  • Megyn notes the judge cited only non-binding cases; Supreme Court precedent would be needed to close the door to a refiling.

• Is Halligan Qualified?

  • The judge called out Halligan for lack of prosecutorial experience; guests call this irrelevant and an ad hominem.
  • Megyn: “You want to tell me I couldn’t be dropped into the Eastern District of Virginia and be the U.S. attorney? Bullshit. I could do it tomorrow after 20 years off.” (18:26)

• Who “Games” the System?

  • Debate over whether Democratic judges or Republican appointees play more appointment games.
  • Mike Davis: “You can’t have these Democrat judges misinterpreting federal statutes to give federal judges more power to protect their political allies.” (29:13)

• Process, Delays & Next Steps:

  • If the government gets a six-month extension, indictments can be refiled, but must go back before the grand jury.
  • Geographic venue matters—Mike suggests seeking a less Democrat-heavy division for grand jury.

• Scenarios:

  • Letitia James will almost certainly be reindicted.
  • Comey's case hinges on complex procedural technicalities.

Notable Quotes

• “If the initial indictment is void, you can’t get the six months extension.” (Megyn Kelly, Paraphrased from judicial dicta, 16:23)
• “They want to criticize her...because Lindsay’s beautiful, she must be stupid, right? And it’s just complete horseshit.” (Mike Davis, 20:13)

2. New Evidence Against Letitia James

(Starts at ~31:31)

Key Point

• Mortgage Fraud Case Strengthens:
  • Forensic accountant (ex-CFO “Crazy Eddie”) finds James claimed her Virginia property as “investment” to the IRS, but “second home” to mortgage lenders—allegedly for better rates.
  • Emails and texts show intention to hide deductions once things looked “suspicious.” (Cited text from March 28, 2024, ~37:15)
  • Megyn: “She represented one thing to the mortgage company...and a very different thing...to the IRS...She did this, she classified them differently depending on what audience she was in front of.”

3. Media Bias and the “Absurd Couric Comments”

(Starts at 40:07)

Key Points

• Katie Couric & Jen Psaki Accuse Trump-Era Press of “Sycophancy”
  • Psaki laments that the White House press corps now resembles “a Kremlin-esque press corps” due to right-wing reporters asking softball questions.
  • Megyn and Benny Johnson mock the outrage with examples of fawning press questions from the Biden era.

Sample Biden-Era Questions (44:59):

• “Mr. President, what did you order?” (re: ice cream)
• “How are you finding the job?”
• “Do you take a day off?”

Megyn: “They wanted to tee up, right, Jen Psaki or Karine Jean-Pierre into ripping on the right half of the country.” (50:25)

• On Podcasters and Ex-MSM Personalities Morphing Into Each Other
  • Benny/the guests joke about how ex-corporate media stars all become the same “crunched-up little vestibule of hate.”
  • “It’s very bad what this ideology does for you as a person.” (Charlie Kirk, 41:10)

Notable Quote

• Benny: “[The] most dangerous fraud... was that Joe Biden did not suddenly develop stage 5...they knew Joe Biden had this terminal illness...Jen Psaki was the major proponent and purveyor of that sinister lie...” (47:09)

4. Cultural & Political Divide: Faith, Decency, and Intra-Right Tensions

(Starts at ~55:57; extended at 57:33 and 63:11)

Main Points

• Megyn’s Tour Takeaways — Right as a Big (sometimes messy) Family

  • “It was church on steroids...being together...is therapeutic.” (Megyn Kelly, 57:33)
  • Embraces internal GOP infighting as a family squabble: diversity is strength, unlike the ideological conformity of the left.

• Left vs. Right: Hatred and Morality

  • Benny Johnson: “They want us to hate them because that means they win...That is why...we have to not let them win by welcoming that hatred into our hearts...” (71:45)
  • Discussion of deeply hateful comments from progressive commentators (e.g., Joy Reid speculating cruelly about Erica Kirk), contrasted by the right’s focus on humanity and forgiveness.

• Faith & Decency

  • Both Megyn and Benny (with references to William Lane Craig and Christian teaching) argue that the loss of God fosters ethical decay on the left, explaining the vastly different reactions to tragedy and loss.

Notable Quotes

• Megyn: “If there’s no God, then there's just no morality. There’s no hardcore foundation for good and evil, for judging actions.” (76:47)
• Benny Johnson, on leftist hate: “If they can pull you down to their level...they win.”

5. Absurdity Watch: Jennifer Lopez’s Revealing Outfit

(Starts at 95:25)

Key Points

• Megyn muses over Jennifer Lopez’s outfits at 57: “I’m in favor of clothing. Just a little. It doesn’t have to be that much, but generally to cover your vag like that at 57 seems like an appropriate standard.” (95:39)
• Benny notes young men now value “modest” women over “party whores,” leading to a brief cultural commentary on feminine beauty, aging, and class, citing Melania Trump and Tina Turner as “aging gracefully.”

6. Notable Quotes & Memorable Moments

• “I don’t accept that she's not qualified just because she never did criminal prosecution.” – Megyn Kelly (18:26)
• “The fed sock attorney didn’t have any balls, and so he got fired and they brought in Lindsey Halligan and she actually had balls.” – Mike Davis (19:35)
• “[Democrat activist judges] are obstructing this with their games...” – Mike Davis (28:24)
• “No man will die for a lie... The disciples were put to death for saying they saw [Jesus resurrected].” – Megyn Kelly (87:29)

Tone and Language

The tone is combative, sarcastic, and often humorous, with frequent blunt language and direct personal criticism of political and media opponents. There’s also an underlying seriousness to discussions about constitutional law, faith, and the state of American political culture.

Listener Takeaways

• Legal disputes around the Comey/James indictments are complex, far from over, and may hinge on constitutional questions about separation of powers and appointment authority.
• The left/right divide is not just political but cultural and deeply moral/religious in the eyes of the hosts and guests.
• The episode offers biting criticism of mainstream media, leftist commentators, and modern cultural trends, arguing for faith, decency, and honest debate within the right.
• The right’s ideological breadth is viewed as a strength, not a weakness.
• Forgiveness, resilience, and keeping faith are recurring themes, especially in the face of personal tragedy and hate.
