Full Transcript:

John Solomon: We’re at a very important moment, not only in American history, but in the, this election cycle. All right. There’s been the switcheroo at the top. There’s been the assassination attempt on Donald Trump. There has been all sorts of lawfare. There’s been lots of major disputes over election integrity, by the way, Republicans winning most of those lawsuits.

One after the other, right all the way up to the Supreme Court. And now people are taking stock of what they’re going to go into the November election with. Is it Donald Trump? Is it Kamala Harris? And a lot of people I’m talking to are thinking, I have no idea who Kamala Harris is, and she doesn’t seem to want to tell me, I thought I’d bring in one of.

I think the keenest observers I know in politics anywhere. He’s a former clerk to an appellate court judge. He is the former chief investigator for one of the key oversight committees in Congress. He’s a former assistant secretary of state under the George W. Bush administration. And today he has the high perch of being the national spokesman of our good friends at AMAC, the Association of Mature American Citizens.

Yep. It’s Wednesday. It’s AMAC Wednesday. We’re bringing in our good friend. Bobby Charles. Bobby, good to have you back on the show. 

Bobby Charles: John, I, love these conversations. I always figure, I always think that somehow unexpectedly we, we, we dig up things even in the course of the conversation that we didn’t think we were going to find.

John Solomon: Yeah. Oh, that’s exactly it. That’s it. I think, when you look at the first 40 days of Kamala Harris, and I, this isn’t my thing, it’s actually what I’m hearing from lots of people, I even ran into a guy last night at Lowe’s and I was picking up a, part I needed late last night, that she is projecting weakness Lack of self confidence in herself, 40 days without an interview, needs Tim Walz for the first interview, even though it’s going to be a, a softball with CNN.

wanted notes sitting down and mic open, to change the rules of the debate. Cause she didn’t feel comfortable with debating like most candidates debate. do you think the, and also, hasn’t really given us any sense of her. Policy and substance. Do you think, everyday American voters are starting to get a sense that, hey, this candidate feels like she’s got something to hide?

Bobby Charles: I think, John, that, most people understand that the presidency is the most important job, arguably, in the country. And I think we know from our history, however little of it was taught to us in our various levels of education, that a president has to be really prepared to do two things in a republic and particularly in our republic, but really in any republic, the first is they have to dig into a deep treasure trove of life experience and they have to make decisions that we count on them, to make wisely.

And secondly, they have to communicate. Constantly bring the American people along, prepare us. If they’re thinking about something that is untoward or difficult to digest. Franklin Delano Roosevelt took forever to tell the American people that he really needed to think about, we need to think about going to war.

Ronald Reagan was always very candid about what it was. We were up against with the Soviet union. So there are two jobs that a president has. One is to be deeply seasoned in the Dwight Eisenhower kind of way in terms of. that’s meaningful and making good decisions. And the second is communicating to the American people.

I think if you look at, Kamala Harris and even Walz, you look at them and you say, okay, how about that first one? there isn’t a lot of there on the first one. So you’re already weak. it’s just a, it’s an observable fact. There is not enough life experience here. And depth and gravitas, and I’m not even talking about, the, giggle a Rama that we get treated to anytime she’s in front of a camera, there’s not enough depth of life experience to make people feel comfortable.

And the second piece of it is that. For 40 days, she has not for the entirety of her nominated of her sort of fake nomination where she, where they, whipped the tablecloth out from underneath all the glasses and Biden was thrown away and we get this new candidate in that entire period. She has done no press conference.

So the second most important thing that a president does, which is to communicate. Is completely missing. So to your question, does the average person, and I have friends who are liberals as well as conservatives, do they see this? Yes, they do. And what they, will do with what they see is really the next question.

But the truth be told, they understand that there’s vacuousness here, that there’s a, I, think of these two people, Harris and Walz, as the, traditional old science fiction shapeshifters. you look at them and you’re supposed to see what you. Are you hoping to see, an empty vessel, fill it up with whatever you want.

But I think there, there is a moment in time when, as in all of the traditional stories with that kind of character, when it becomes obvious that there is no there, that this is really a chameleon, that this is a couple of people who are essentially, and in this case, very left leaning who are trying to cloak their left leaningness.

And give you the opportunity to believe that their laughter and giggly poo, talking to each other over a table in which they feed each other softball questions. the only public really candid thing they’ve done since this nominating process is somehow going to make you happy enough that you’ll vote for them.

And I don’t think it’s passing muster. I honestly, John, I talked to people who are. And then you add in the RFK Jr. endorsement of Trump and, Trump, including, Tulsi Gabbard and you begin to see people saying, one side is voting for something and the other side is voting for nothing. 

John Solomon: Yeah. No, that’s a really great, analogy and it’s that lack of substance.

Even the New York times called it out this week. I think you see some of the, even the democratic pundits on the network starting to worry that, Hey. Hey. Hey. This is way too long to not know where she stands. And she did put a couple small things out, right? She tried to appropriate Donald Trump’s, no tax on tips plan.

She tried to appropriate the border wall. She’s actually using, Donald Trump’s border wall in her ads, even though She once called it a vanity, a stupid vanity project. Do you, the idea that there are only ideas of those that are coming from Donald Trump, that’s probably not helping her either. Right?

Bobby Charles: to me, this goes right to the shape shifter point. this is pretend that you, if you really think we should have a wall and you really think, That those who work two jobs and three shouldn’t be, they should, tips shouldn’t be taxed. incidentally, the exact policy that she put forward with Biden, if, you really believe that you’ve got a choice, go with the authentic, inventor of those ideas or go with someone who, thinks that, I understand that, what is it?

Imitation is the highest form of flattery, but I think that was, Oscar Wilde. But in the end, Honestly, John, I can’t believe a single word that comes out of their mouth because they’ve lied so many times that it’s really not even, I literally come to the conclusion that everything they say is likely to be untrue, and I think the average person watching that kind of chameleon like behavior says, Yeah, I don’t think so.

I don’t think she’s committed to a wall. I don’t think she’s committed to giving the average American tax breaks. In fact, everything she’s talking about wage and price controls, which means rationing of things, more policies that push high inflation, which in turn push high interest rates. All of these things are what people are groaning under right now.

They’re there, the weight on their shoulders. John, I live in Maine. I’m in DC all the time. You and I are going to be in New York here in a week, but the reality is people everywhere in this country are suffering. And it is not a joke and, it is, a very serious thing. I walk into homes and I see all the signs of people struggling and and I think that, these two people are clowns.

They don’t, they, truly don’t appreciate what the average American goes through because they’ve lived a very, removed life and their attitude is, we’re going to tell you from top down what to do. we’re not going to listen to you from bottom up. Whereas Trump listens from bottom up everywhere he goes.

John Solomon: Yeah, that’s a great point. And he’s accessible. There’s no reporter, even if it’s a hostile reporter. He’s not afraid to stop and answer questions and give his side of the story, which seems to be the, literally the polar opposite of the current ticket, which doesn’t seem to engage except in scripted moments, careful moments.

Bobby Charles: there’s so much about Donald Trump and I look, I’m not, I’m an old Reagan guy. I’m a Abraham Lincoln, Theodore Roosevelt, Ronald Reagan guy, but Trump’s policies, his style is his style, but his policies are so clean in terms of what he, does, what he believes. And I, think there’s a lot that people don’t know, even about the character of the man.

I, I have spent a large part of my life, as doing John working closely with law enforcement and on counter narcotics. And I’ve always thought it’s poignant that Donald Trump lost a brother, to addiction and that it, it, hurt him. You could, even tell in the only one or two times he’s ever talked about it, it hurt him.

That this happened. And, I, think there’s a depth there. I, get stories behind the curtain at times of things that he does. Some check he writes for somebody’s mortgage. And I’m like, gosh, there is something about this guy that people are not seeing. And of course, even I am not seeing it, but I guess I think that he has grown enormously.

And I think the average American can’t deal with 9 percent inflation and a 22 year record high in. They just can’t deal with it anymore, John. They were, we’re struggling. it doesn’t matter what your profession is. And of course, AMAC works a lot with older Americans. Their savings are disappearing at 10 percent a year.

how much of that do you have to take before you say, you know what, I may or may not like the guy, but his policies are going to preserve my family. and, and, protect my daughters and granddaughters. And yeah, I’m, not going to go with the other crowd. 

John Solomon: Yeah, no, that’s really. A very powerful moment.

All right, folks, don’t go anywhere. More of our exclusivity with Bobby Charles right after these messages.

John Solomon: All right folks, welcome back. More of our exclusive interview with Bobby Charles. I’ve said over and over again, I think it comes down to three I’s. The Eye of Inflation, the Eye of Insecurity, which includes the border crime and the world, and the Eye of Insanity, which is, there are just certain things that Kamala Harris stands for that we’re not gonna, we don’t want, we don’t want tampons in boys bathrooms.

We don’t want men and girls, sports and, people looking that’s just. Two bridges too far for me. And I think if the Republicans just keep working those three subjects, they end up with a really great situation because the American people are with them on all three of those subjects. 

Bobby Charles: they’re, I think in some ways, John, this at every level of government, local, the state legislature here in Maine is critically important and the Republicans probably need to hold it if they’re going to preserve the main values.

They need to flip it in order to preserve the main values. At the state level, you have a number of great states. gubernatorial legislative races. And then of course, you’ve got the Congress, the house and the Senate, and then of course the president, vice president in all of these races, in many ways, I think this is a.

I’m trying to think of a new way to say very, important a year. it’s a year done in which if we don’t, if we don’t sit up and understand that we got to go vote, we got to vote for the people, whoever they are that we think represent our values. We cannot sit back and imagine that other people are going to protect our Way of life.

and I, use that word broadly, basically life, liberty, and life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. I was straight taken by a pew poll the other day that indicated that, only that 37 percent of the American people did not vote. In either 2018, 2020, or 2022. So lots of people sit home on the couch.

That’s a huge margin. That margin would have swamped any race in any state, including at the national level. So we need to get up and understand that the only way you protect a republic is to defend it by voting. 

John Solomon: No, that’s such a really great thing. You can’t win a football game if you’re sitting on the bench.

You got to get in the game. I think that’s what is so exciting about what AMAC is going to do in Long Island in about, what about 15, 16 days from now, the latest bootcamp for boomers. I’m going to be there. Lee Zeldin is going to be there. I heard today that Kirk Cameron, good friend of mine going to be there.

We did some book tours together. for those who are going to show up, what is the, what’s the day look like for you? 

Bobby Charles: I think we’re gonna have an incredible collection of panels. It’s in a great venue and, this could be, it’s central so that a lot of people can get to it. And honestly, it, could be the best one they’ve ever done because they have a, a star studded, set of panels they have.

we’re right at this moment when a whole bunch of things are gonna happen two or three days after that event. You have Trump facing potential sentencing. You have early voting. There are six states that begin in September, and there are nine, I believe, that begin in October. And so you’ve got a tremendous sort of, I don’t know what I’d call it, vortex.

And so I would encourage, anybody that’s within driving distance. Nevermind. You want to, take an effort and really get close to the action, to come to that bootcamp for boomers. It’s, easy to get to AMAC.US and then you sign up. and John, I am truly Of the, of the view that this is ours to lose as in the American people’s to lose. this election is about whether or not we teach ourselves and we take seriously this, idea that the founders passed forward, that every generation it’s on their shoulders. as, Reagan himself said, it’s up to every generation to protect freedom.

And so this bootcamp for boomers is a way to get yourself educated about what that really means to protect freedom and in your own, community, in your own town, your own state. And of course, at the national level 

John Solomon: that freedom was, poignantly, highlighted or the risk to it. just a couple of days ago when Mark Zuckerberg belatedly, and I do mean belatedly, the Biden administration was relentlessly pressuring Facebook over the last three years to censor Americans opinions.

No, it wasn’t about foreign disinformation like we’re always being told. It is Americans opinions, their ability to debate things like vaccines and COVID solutions and COVID lockdowns. When you see that, when you see France just arrested, the, co founder of Telegram because he wasn’t moderating what France considered disinformation.

When you see people threatening Elon Musk that he should get arrested for interviewing, literally interviewing Donald Trump, those unalienable rights that we always have been assumed that we’re going to be safe our entire lifetime, they’re, in the crosshairs right now, aren’t they? 

Bobby Charles: They are, John, to take it as quickly as I can.

I think the first amendment, the second amendment, the fourth, the fifth and the sixth are under intense pressure right now. And what the Zuckerberg letter did is it was like a confessional because the oversight committee, which I used to work for Jim Jordan, really quite vigorously, Whistleblowers to the point and documentation until it was made crystal clear that the FBI was putting pressure on high tech to, to block all the news that would get Trump elected.

And in fact, I think. What’s really coming out now is that this overblown idea that the hunter laptop was Russian disinformation, the suppression of everything that they suppressed and the failure to allow responses on the other side in the final weeks and months of the, that election and beware cause it other kinds of bad behavior could happen right now, but that unbelievable bull.

Stepping on the first amendment, probably did turn the election in 2020. And, in reality, what this confession is, it’s a confession that Jordan was right, that the Republicans were right, that there was a complete censorship and violation of the first amendment guarantees that individual Americans, nevermind those running for office, should have expected to be honored.

The second amendment of course, is under constant pressure. The 4th, 5th, and 6th I mentioned together in one swatch because we have a new superseding indictment that is essentially a rewritten indictment to try to bring the Republican presidential candidate and throw him in prison on the exact same charges as before, which are completely hokum.

what they’ve done is that the Supreme Court said that a president has to have immunity for official acts. It is very clear that Taking a classified document that many, presidents have had in their possession, making it clear to the government that you have it after office, an administrative act at best was an act officially taken.

So was a speech, given by Trump, which of course, a different. Supreme court decision, reinforces that idea. But what they’ve done is they reach shat, they, basically recrafted this, indictment of Trump, making it seem that these are all private acts. they’re not private acts. The Supreme court ruled for a reason that, that public acts are not, official acts are not, are not subject to criminal prosecution.

So there is a craven, I would say. Really almost a totalitarian streak in these in the in this Justice Department. I mean they are wantonly they are John, they are determined to put this guy in prison and I say what kind of government is it? That says they’re working for me and yet they want to put A freely nominated, vindicated by the Supreme Court nominee, in prison before the election and perhaps after the election.

I just, it makes me shudder. so that is the fourth amendment. They went into his house. They, it really showed overwhelming and unnecessary force in, in, scaring people around him, in, in going in violated the fourth amendment. I think constitutionally the fifth amendment is due process and equal protection, equal protection.

Did you see Joe Biden facing that same kind of, no, he was just an elderly, old fellow. Who’s a, good hearted guy that we need to run off the rails as soon as people lose faith in him. Put someone else in office. I guess I look at this John and I say this in many ways is an existential election because Rights that are foundational to the Republic the first and by the way, it’s not just speech and press.

It’s also faith religion freedom to worship is at risk. The second is at risk are, keeping bare arms the fourth not Being secure in our homes and how, and, papers the fifth again, which is the application of due process and equal protection to us at the federal level and the sixth, which is fair trial.

So all of those things are at risk in this election. And I think that for one reason is one reason why, Robert Kennedy jr, shifted over. And, frankly, I think his father and his uncle would probably have shifted over. it’s, an important moment for the Republic.

John Solomon: it is. The stakes are high. And the America as we’ve known it is in danger of changing, maybe irreparably. And I think that’s why every person needs to get in the game and make a decision, vote and do what they can this election to have their voice heard. That’s what makes the bootcamp for boomers in Long Island so excited.
