Charlie Kirk sends message to his “buddies” in Trump's DOJ that there should be “massive indictments”
Kirk: “if we do not get high-profile indictments, it'll be worse than you ignoring it. ... When you have rising expectations and reality does not meet those expectations, you're going to have angry people.”

CHARLIE KIRK (HOST): I'm getting a little exhausted doing these segments, and it's fine. Schiff did this. We leaked that. Russiagate conspiracy, Brennan, Clapper. Great. Fine.
It's time for action. Kash Patel, Dan Bongino, Pam Bondi — these are good people. I think they agree it's time for action. We really are getting to a moment where all these stories are helpful. All these stories are interesting. All these stories get headlines, but I'm not here to mislead you the audience, honestly.
And I feel as if we keep on covering these stories that we could talk forever and ever and ever, but I don't want to mislead those of you right now that want what's best. You could talk forever, but people will be very angry if you can talk endlessly about it, but never indict anyone. I'm going to yield to Bondi and Bongino and Kash, and JD said something similar, who's the best. JD is the greatest. JD is not — the ball is not in his court in this sense. He's the vice president of United States.
But in some ways, I wonder, was it the best decision to leak this? Shouldn't we have just been indicted and then leak it?
What I'm getting at is, here, is that it's nice to, OK, great. Great for ratings. Yay. Charlie Kirk Show. Woo hoo. I — enough. But not leak, by the way, release, just to be clear. Not leak — release.
But at this moment of time, indictments matter infinitely more than press conferences, declassifications, and social media trending. Because here's what's happening. Let me just say this for the my administration, you know, buddies that are watching and for some of the audience.
The more that we see these documents, if we do not get high-profile indictments, it'll be worse than you ignoring it. Just saying. All of these leaks are very helpful. It's nice for our show. It boosts ratings. People love watching it. I don't care about that. I want what's right.
But let me just say, the more that we see these leaks, the more that we see this stuff come out, there is an expectation that is now brewing amongst the audience. And where do you get anger in life? Anger comes when expectations and reality are misaligned. It's a great rule for life. So when you have rising expectations and reality does not meet those expectations, you're going to have angry people. So I hope, and it is my great prayer that this is leading towards massive indictments, because boy, do we need it.
