Full Transcript:

John Solomon: It’s Wednesday. So much going on in the world and also so little going on the democratic tickets, so little substance, so little clarity.

In fact, a lot of flip flopping in confusion about where Kamala Harris actually stands, she, yesterday, she recanted her Medicare for all the day before that. She was caught people by surprise, didn’t tell the Democrats she was going to come out for ending taxes on tips. Something that Democrats actually wanted to increase.

The Kamala Harris, Tim Walz ticket is as confusing as the Middle East is unstable. And we’re going to dive into both of those with our good friend. Cause it’s Wednesday, AMAC Wednesday. That is our good friend. Bobby Charles joins us right now. Bobby, good to have you on. John big times. Happy to be with you.

there are big times, you were two to three weeks into the Paris walls ticket and the biggest storyline is no news conferences, no organic questions, no interviews, and lots of flip flops. They’re now on almost both sides of every issue where they just reversed on Medicare for all. She renounced her Medicare for all support from 2020.

What do you think is going on in our Americans 

Bobby Charles: buy in this routine? I think I can describe what’s going on, but I don’t think Americans are buying it, and I think, John, the longer it lasts, the more likely it is that the cart house just falls. as I watch Kamala Harris and this guy, Walt, I see the old science fiction shapeshifters.

They present themselves to an audience and they imagine that you will see in them, there’s such an emptiness to the vessel. a mirror image kind of projection that you will see in them what they hope is that you will see in them whatever you want to see in them. And yet, the irony is, what she says she stands for, is what she has always never stood for, and what she says she doesn’t stand for, is what she has always stood for.

it’s not just the notion that, to borrow from, who was it, Oscar Wilde? imitation is the best form of flattery. And so she’s borrowing off what she can get from Trump, and trying to try to showcase that it’s really that there’s a great emptiness there. John, I look at Waltz and I look at her and I just pick three or four of her issues.

Okay. The notion that she would somehow, recant on nationwide mandates for medicine and the abolishment of private medicine. That’s what she’s pushed for a long time. Now she says, Oh, I, that wasn’t me. Or she doesn’t say anything about it. She talks about, closing up the border. She had four years to close up the border with all the authority of the White House behind her.

And she did absolutely nothing. In fact, she promoted the idea of people breaching the border. she was a prosecutor, but actually she was a prosecutor that really wasn’t a prosecutor. The Supreme court had to hammer her twice for failure to respect constitutional rights. She covered up, she refused to produce Brady evidence, which is exculpatory evidence.

when when she was demanded by higher federal courts, she is. I hate to put so fine a point on it, but she’s a liar and a shapeshifter. She is a nothing. There is nothing there. What she is, if she says that she is one thing, immediately think about what she’s trying to cover because that’s how she operates.

And then look at this guy, Waltz, he has hurt so many people. He hurt so many people in his own state with his mandates that. It didn’t just shut down businesses and throw them into bankruptcy. It didn’t just throw people out of jobs. It didn’t just mandate that they couldn’t go to their churches.

It didn’t just try to shut down Thanksgiving and Christmas. He went so far as to have a separate office, John, that was dedicated to the proposition of informing, just the way that the Soviet Union did. You’d inform on your neighbor if they’re not wearing a mask. How bizarre is that? And then he comes out and presents himself as a higher rank than he was in the military.

He says he was in combat when a combat vet is something very different from what he was, and then begs off when he gets mobilized. They are shapeshifters. There are people that are not real, John. And I hope that the average American sits back in their chair and goes, I love the cartoon images.

It’s like we used to get up in the morning, Saturday mornings and watch Tom and Jerry. I love the cartoon images, but you know what? It’s not going to. Yeah, they are. They just want memory politics, right? That’s not for politics. Yeah. 

John Solomon: Good point. That’s funny. That’s a good fond memory, thinking about that.

But it does feel that way. It does feel cartoonish and it feels, sugary, unsatisfying. It’s just, you don’t feel, there’s a little bit of sugar, but there’s no substance to what’s going on. And I think that’s going to wear thin in an era where Americans see so many, Serious issues. I want to ask about one more thing.

It just broke a little bit ago, two things really broke a little bit ago, but I think they go to this issue. So Kamala Harris. Has been caught buying, Google search to change the headlines on news stories so that it make it look like the news industry was supporting it more. Now, in fairness, the news industry has been pretty puffery of her, but, if you have to buy Google search headlines and give a different, spin than what the news actually is that going to feed into this idea that she’s fake?

Bobby Charles: It’s not only going to feed into the idea, John, it should become a headline of its own. Why? Because those who are craven in a way that wants, that tries to double gild the lily, they really do themselves no favors. It puts me in mind, and Richard Nixon had a locked and cocked organization in 72.

He actually had everything in line, polls were with him, everything was going his way, But lo and behold, either the people around him or he decided they needed to double gild the lily. They needed to break into Democrat headquarters. They needed to, basically do things that eventually got him, would have gotten him impeached and made him resign.

Why? Because people who are craving for power, See no limits on their own behavior. And what that really means is that when they get into power, they will see no limits on the oppression of you in order to expand and retain their power. 

John Solomon: That’s a very important, very important dynamic. And it’s one that’s been tried and tested.

We know that it is, we know that dynamic really exists. a second piece of this a little bit ago, James Comer announced that they confirmed with Google that Google did, in fact, manipulate search headlines to exclude Donald Trump’s assassination attempt when people searched for assassination.

Now they blamed it, Google blamed it on a, technical error where their safety protocols didn’t get updated with the reality that Trump had been, assassinated. So therefore it was suppressed. but once again, big tech. Whether intentionally or unintentionally has misled the American people and put their thumb on the scale, Comer announcing a full scale investigation of Congress.

how big is it that, big tech keeps getting caught time and time and time again, on, manipulating the truth through its tools. 

Bobby Charles: It’s manipulation of the truth, and then it’s the denial of the manipulation of the truth. This public corrupt, public corruption, we think of public corruption as being associated with politicians.

But actually, public corruption can often be associated with a publicly held company as well. And that would be  shading, shading their earnings or, but in this case it’s for political purposes. And I think it’s not only a disgrace, but, it’s almost again, a cartoon like finger pointing, it’s, the protocol that did it.

It’s the algorithm that did it, darn AI. We just can’t get them to pay attention to the fact that there really was an assassination attempt, really. it only dominated the news for cycle, after cycle. So I obviously, public corruption, John is like an infectious disease.

And it, when it begins to kill the truth with systematic, in a systematic way, it’s a plague, it’s a black plague. 

John Solomon: Listen, there’s a moment I’ll read this. This is cause Meta also got hit today by the commerce committee, but this is exactly what, Meta, Facebook’s, AI bot told people when they asked, was Donald Trump.

did someone try to take, Donald Trump’s life? There was no real assassination attempt on Donald Trump to confirm. There has been no credible report or evidence of a successful or attempted assassination of Donald Trump. That was done, that test was done. On July 31st, 18 days after the assassination attempt, this is from the letter that Congress sent Zuckerberg.

It can’t be an accident that 18 days later, artificial intelligence can’t find headlines. just remarkable to see that thumb of big tech. 

Bobby Charles: it’s not an accident. Just like it’s not an accident, John, that when they went. with artificial intelligence to describe the nature of the people on the Mayflower.

They said, there were three blacks and there were four Chinese and there were seven Indonesians. And yeah, really, I don’t think so. 

John Solomon: I think we might. Yeah. If only we had photographs. I’ll tell you. It’s just crazy. It’s just crazy to watch, what, what has happened. All right, folks. Don’t go anywhere.

More of our exclusive interview with Bobby Charles right after these messages.

John Solomon: All right folks, welcome back. More of our exclusive interview with Bobby Charles. On a more serious note, although that is a serious issue, but I think people look at, everywhere I go now, people have told me the world just feels so much more insecure and nowhere is that more true than the Middle East, which.

Donald Trump had moving towards historic peace with the Abraham Accords exactly, four years ago this month. In fact, exactly four years ago yesterday, they were announced. Now we have Iran and its proxies destabilizing the waters, the air, the ground with Hamas, Hezbollah and the Houthis. they’ve sent two people into the United States, one to assassinate, President Trump, one to hack President Trump’s, computer files.

it seems to me that Iran has a big giant red blinking warning light and Joe Biden, Kamala Harris own turning it on. 

Bobby Charles: They do. I look at you, invariably, you don’t have to be smart. You can just be a farmer. you, reap, you reap what you sow, right? This is, I come from a rural part of America, you reap what you sow.

And what they did here is they basically ignored all the rules of peace through strength. They rule, they, they ignored. The rule that if you’re not on the move forward, you’re invariably sliding backwards. Iran took advantage of that. Obviously Russia did and China has, but, but, Iran took advantage of that.

And they have put, our ally Israel and frankly the entire region. And if you really think about it based on their behaviors as a terrorist, organization, an official terrorist organization and their acquisition, their huge conventional forces, they have probably 6, 000 now. Yeah. Missiles of different kinds that could imperil, everything, including Europe, and their aspirations for a nuclear weapon.

They are the living embodiment of what happens when you abandon deterrence. They have decided that they have, they have a green light, to go, do whatever damage they want to do. and we’re at a very perilous moment right now. As we have, The U. S. Aircraft Carrier Strike Group’s Abraham Lincoln and Theodore Roosevelt over there.

We have a number of destroyers over there. We have a nuclear submarine, which as we both know is not normally announced right there. And people forget too that Israel has 90 nuclear weapons. So if Iran does something really radical, it could be a matter of hours when things escalate and Russia is right there behind the U.

S. Iran and China is right there behind Russia and Iran. So I think we, we need to be very calm, cautious, thoughtful, and we ought to be out there on the airwaves, our leadership up United, including with the Europeans saying, this is a no go put it back in the can to borrow from a phrase that Ronald Reagan used when Iran launched a silk, threatened to launch a silk worm missile, put it back in the can.

John Solomon: That’s really important. That’s an important, Reality. I think the world is dealing with their last night. Robert Greenway, former chief of the National Security Council’s Middle East division, said that the Biden administration has lost its deterrence  capability with Iran, that Iran doesn’t feel any need to stop doing what it’s doing.

And he pointed out there’s been more than 200 attacks on either ships or troops since October 7th that Had some Western or American personnel on them 200 and there’s been hardly a reprisal. And he said that failure to reprise, basically took deterrence off the table. how big a problem is that for the rest of our allies realizing that the U S doesn’t have the swagger right now to stop Iran from doing whatever Iran wants to do next.

Bobby Charles: since Afghanistan, if not long before that, the bad guys in the world don’t believe anything that the Biden administration says they, they don’t believe that they will respond when they say they will respond. It really even goes back to Obama and the red line in Syria. they, set up a dynamic in which, a match by itself is not particularly dangerous.

A match put to tender in a forest on a mountaintop. In a national park is very dangerous. And that’s what we’re looking at right here. what you’re really seeing is that the world doesn’t believe what Biden Harris or anyone else has to say. And there is a counterpoint, for those that say, gosh, it’s just too dangerous a world.

And I don’t know what anybody would do. The counterpoint is Ronald Reagan, faced an Iran, which was well armed, that was threatening, that was attacking us warships that was attacking. U. S. flagged tankers in the Persian Gulf and the Sea of Oman and, although not in the Red Sea, but what, he did is he said, listen, Put it back in the can, put your, turn your volume down, step back inside your borders and don’t step out again, or we will hit you harder than you have ever been hit before.

And he initiated when, Iran tried one more thing and launched at an American warship. He launched two operations and people can look them up online. I don’t have them in front of me, but praying mantis was one and nimble archer was the other. And what he did is effectively destroyed half of Iran’s Navy.

And he said, if you keep any destroyed, some of their oil production capability, all their platforms at sea. And he said, if you keep coming at us, there will be less and less of you to come at us the next time. And you, either, and I will never forget the illustrious Sam Donaldson after Reagan had delivered some really strong counter punches, mid 1980s, mid to late eighties, Sam Donaldson said, Mr.

President, Mr. President, are we at war? And he looked over one shoulder and said, no, Sam, they wouldn’t be that stupid. And he just kept moving. And the bottom line is if you deter. With force in the Middle East, they will back down. If you let them burn the forest down, they’ll burn the forest down. 

John Solomon: It is such an important factor.

And you are so right that, we’ve lost that capability. I just don’t understand. I don’t understand how we did it, but it’s, there and it is what, it is what we are. And of course we not only lost our deterrence capability, we gave Iran enough And billions of dollars, somewhere between 1, 700 billion that they have the cash to do what they want to.

Something else Donald Trump had prevented during his time in office. Really remarkable, Bobby. What, what’s going on? 

Bobby Charles: until you get an all out war, and I pray that the next seven months don’t deliver that to us, and I pray that we have a responsible leader who reinforces the normal, the way they, Iran released the hostages within the hour after Reagan was, was inaugurated, because he had said, I’m coming for you.

If you don’t release them, I’m coming for them. And, and he wouldn’t have botched that. The way Carter did. So at the end of the day, what it takes, the hopeful point is this, unless you face a real regional or global conflict that becomes very hot, very fast, and I, really do hope that we can consciously take some baby steps toward reestablishing our deterrence until that happens.

It’s not irreversible. And ultimately, if we moved in with Israel in lockstep and knocked out key elements of Hezbollah or knocked out, key elements of the Iranian army or, basically took out key elements of their, Navy or we, launched a cyber attack that, we don’t use a lot of our cyber capabilities, but disabled some of their missile launch capabilities, et cetera.

If we did something that showed we were real, Iran is not stupid. They’re a rational actor in their own world. they’re theological crazies, but they are a rational actor when it comes to self determination. And if we showed them that we, are not kidding any longer. Okay. Whatever the, the, caught in irons problem was prior to now we’re, we have a sail full of wind and we’re going to go where we want to go.

And you’re going to, you’re not going to create instability across the region the way that you’ve been doing. And by the way, do you know that would send an incredible signal to Russia and a, Secondary signal to China. And there would be global rethinking about whether the U S really did believe in deterrence and taking action, that was concrete in response to things that were inappropriate.

John Solomon: there was always the, theory of the Reagan administration had that, piece to think had a domino effect that once you applied it in one place, it would send a message to five places and, this administration that the Biden Harris administration hasn’t, hasn’t, seemed to have studied that playbook very well.

Bobby? 

Bobby Charles: it’s the reverse. It is. it’s the reverse. It’s appeasement. They, exactly. Appeasement creates added, hope for appeasement, right? Instead of the other way around. Anyway, yeah. 

John Solomon: No, you’re exactly right. All right, Bobby, as always, we love having you on. It’s such an honor. your experience in the State Department, in the court system, and of course as national spokesman for AMAC is invaluable.

I’m so excited, to be joining you. your, bootcamp for boomers, next month in Long Island, that’s going to be a blast and we’ll be together again, but, we’ll have you on again next week and folks in the meantime, go to amac. us, amac. us slash just news this month only for one buck, you’re going to get a whole year’s.
