What this episode covers

Transcript: Charlie James: So, John Thune is now very upset. He's upset that you're upset with him. He's very angry about that, and he says that you should turn your fire on the Democrats. Well, listen, the Democrats are just doing what the Democrats do. They—we know the Democrats oppose the President's agenda. That's—that's in their DNA. Because the President's agenda is good for America, and what's good for America is bad for the Democrat Party. So, I think John Thune is misguided. He should be turning his fire on those Republicans that don't want to pass the SAVE America Act, and I've told you how he can do that time and time again. But there's another person in the Senate that is probably even worse than John Thune. And that's Tom Tillis of North Carolina, the so-called Republican. He was very upset on Tuesday about the weaponization of government and suggested it was worse under President Donald Trump. Now, President Trump had established this thing called the Weaponization Fund, where people that felt like they were impacted by Joe Biden weaponizing the federal government against them, they could have some sort of, you know, recompense, if you will. Well, Tom Tillis didn't like that. Mainly because some of these people would have been the J6ers. The people that were in Washington, not even necessarily at the Capitol, but people that were in Washington whose lives were ruined by Christopher Wray and Merrick Garland. I mean ruined, because every time they got dragged into court, oh man, they had to pay their attorneys. So this was some way for some of these people to recoup some of those losses. Well, Tom Tillis didn't like that, John Thune didn't like that, John Cornyn didn't like that. But Tom Tillis and John Cornyn, they were there like, "All right, well okay, well you going to keep up with this? We're not going to pass your nominee Todd Blanche to be Attorney General." In fact, Tom Tillis has spent the past two years blocking President Trump's agenda. He blocked Todd Blanche's nomination. He and John Cornyn, they've given up on that. When he's not doing that, he's demeaning President Trump, he demeans the SAVE America Act. The Huffington Post and other left-wing outlets are making the most that they can out of his suggestions, but they don't seem happy that he approved Todd Blanche. Tillis and Cornyn changed their minds after President Trump threatened to bring up the $1.8 billion slush fund again. Well, that's dead for now. But the weaponization against Republicans was horrendous and put thousands in prison, literally thousands, and bankrupted them. Democrats went after Donald Trump with bogus cases. They did the same thing to all of his key allies. They literally operated like Stalinists. That's crazy. So John Thune is in the Senate right now, his main purpose in the Senate is to block President Trump. Block President Trump. But John Thune wants to go after the Democrats. Okay, there you go. Well, President Trump, again, not only—and we saw this during the first administration—not only was President Trump fighting the Democrats, he was fighting Republicans as well. Republicans like John McCain, Republicans like Lindsey Graham. Wonder how Lindsey felt about the Weaponization Act. So now he's actually having to fight the press. 'Cause a couple of stories are out there right now. One—one story is that—now think about this, think about you're a news organization and somebody leaks some information that says that the United States is dangerously low on weapons and ammunition. We are dangerously—well, who does that benefit? That benefits the enemy. Since when do news organizations publish unverified information that could actually help the enemy? Well, they're doing it. Fox News did it. "Oh, it's incumbent on us to bring you this story." Oh, it's—it's bad. Everything's bad. Everything's miserable, everything's horrible. That's crazy. Then you got another senior or high-level official in the—in Washington. Th ...
