Charlottesville Was a Setup? Kash Patel Blew the Lid Off It | The Gerry Callahan Show (04/22/2026)

- The DOJ indicts the Southern Poverty Law Center, accusing it of paying extremist groups it claimed to be fighting and turning the anti-Trump “hate” narrative into a fraud operation.

- Charlottesville is recast as a staged political weapon, with new allegations that paid agitators helped create the spectacle later used to brand Trump and the right as racist.

- Kash Patel sues The Atlantic after its hit piece falls apart, then follows it with the SPLC indictment, turning a media attack into a counterpunch.

- Democrats keep rooting for U.S. failure in Iran, with Seth Moulton declaring America has already lost even as the regime bleeds money and leverage.

- The episode closes on two home-front warnings: Democrats seize more structural power in Virginia while Ilhan Omar’s finances and even MAGA influencer culture get framed as scams hiding in plain sight.
