Bobby Charles: Thank you. Thank you so much, John. 

John Solomon: I don’t even have to say your last name. And once I say Bobby, people know exactly who I’m talking about.

You’re part of the posse now. We’re so lucky to have you. I want to start with a story that we broke just a couple hours ago. we talked to a lot of the members of Congress about, I think they’re in disbelief. the FBI in April encountered, interviewed, fingerprinted The man that they now accuse of plotting with Iran to assassinate Donald Trump and other political figures.

But after doing all that, after knowing he was on a terror watchlist already, after knowing that he had just traveled to Iran, they gave this guy, there he is right there, they gave this guy a visa. To enter the United States, it’s called special, special, parole. And, he stays beyond the parole, they finally roll him up, but is there any public interest in giving a guy on the terror watch that’s just traveled to Iran a pass into the United States?

Bobby Charles: Obviously, no. And in fact, what we should have been doing is using him as a source in link analysis to go back backwards through a number of resources that we have to track down where he was coming from, who he was talking to, etcetera. Let me say, John, to me, this is emblematic of what I will call systemic corruption and systemic negligence in this administration.

The reason you have problems at the Secret Service, the reasons you have problem is at the FBI and Reason that you would shockingly, allow a terrorist with it, with a specific intent to kill a former president of the United States into this country, whether you knew it or whether you just had circumstantial evidence to suggest it, is because we have lost the con.

Okay. This is like someone being in the wheelhouse. And, and turning their back on the open sea. You cannot do that. we are in a position now where the world, has always been a ruthless place. It has always been a place intending to do us harm. We have to be 110 percent vigilant and we have to do that as small organizations, state and local law enforcement, frankly, up here in Maine.

We’ve got Chinese triads at work and you’ve got to be, obviously above and beyond anything else. You have to be doing it at the FBI and the Secret Service. And what are we witnessing here? A complete failure, systemic failure of integrity and a systemic failure of, really what, it suggests corruption within these organizations.

John Solomon: Yeah. And you, when you were an assistant secretary of state, you always governed by common sense. There’s a common sense factor here. We know we’re in a high threat with Iran. We know that this guy’s. Tied to Iran. We know he’s on the terrorist watch list because of his connections. And the FBI’s idea is, let’s let him in because we don’t know what he’s gonna do, but we’ll be able to figure out if we let him wander around the country.

That comes with a lot of risk in this environment, doesn’t it? 

Bobby Charles: Yeah, there is no, I’ll be honest, john. So I ran programs. I wasn’t just an assistant secretary of state. I was responsible for all those places that are not vacation land all over the world. I was responsible for the training and the monitoring of the work with the police in Iraq and Afghanistan and Kosovo and Colombia.

What you witness here What you’re seeing here is a disintegration, not only a rule of law, which we talk about a lot, but a disintegration of professional integrity. And when you see the idea that someone would take the risk, even if it were a 1 percent risk, on a former president’s life for some, I’m trying to impute the best possible motives, but I can impute no positive motives to this.

Ultimately, what is a disintegration of that security and that safety that all of us as Americans expect that our federal government, and particularly our federal law enforcement community and federal military, are working to protect. look, we can’t go about our lives if the one thing that the federal government is supposed to do Protecting our national security above all else, is at risk and is, somehow falling.

And so we got to get back after this. And to be honest, I hate to take it to the presidentials, Harrison Walz represent the exact opposite of what Trump and JD Vance with their life stories represent. And I think we just have to think about that. I don’t care if you like these people or you don’t like them, or you think they’d be sweet as a babysitter.

I don’t give a damn. At the end of the day, what matters is whether they’re protecting your security at home, on the streets of your city, your state, your hometown, and whether they’re protecting our borders. 

John Solomon: As one of our pollsters told us the other day, there couldn’t be a more dramatic contrast between the two sides this election.

It really is different. podcast yesterday. John Solomon reports you wowed the audience. It was right after we broke the story that the Minnesota. National Guard had confirmed that, Governor Walz didn’t have the right to use the title he’s been using for the last 15 years, claiming he retired as a command sergeant major.

we got about a minute left. Your thoughts on someone inflating their title just to get some political benefit. 

Bobby Charles: It is stolen honor, John. It’s a phrase you’re hearing out there, but it’s a real phrase that we’ve used, we use for years for a certain type of person. it’s a person with no integrity who’s willing to indulge deceit in order to advance themselves.

And we hate that kind of person because they are the opposite of integrity. So let me give you the tree, the triple burden in 10 seconds. He calls himself a guy that carried arms in war. He did not. He calls himself, a command sergeant major. He was not. And he had a unit that was deployed to, Iraq and he begged off and left the unit and, by the way, members of that unit died in, in, at war.

So this guy is a triple disgrace. and I’ll tell you, what do we have on the opposite side? Someone like JD Vance, who actually walked the walk, talk to talk, was a command sergeant major and was in combat. And at the end of the day, this is either you want authenticity or you want fakeness. And at the end of the day, I think most Americans, 85 percent want authenticity. 

John Solomon: That’s a great point. I have another idea that Americans want. I think they should go join AMAC. It is one of the great, organizations filled with patriots, just like my good friend Bobby. Go to amac.us/justnews. One dollar for a whole year. It’s the best discount you’re going to get all year.
