It is the 51 00:04:11.159 --> 00:04:16.279 Right Side Radio Show, recording this episode Thursday morning, December 52 00:04:16.439 --> 00:04:21.920 the eleventh, twenty twenty five. Goodness, folks, and it's the 53 00:04:22.000 --> 00:04:26.120 Christmas season is upon us and we are ramping up 54 00:04:26.240 --> 00:04:30.199 quickly to the birth of our Lord and Savior, the 55 00:04:30.240 --> 00:04:33.879 celebration of the birth of Jesus Christ. So we are 56 00:04:34.680 --> 00:04:37.879 trying to be festive as always. I've got the Christmas 57 00:04:38.000 --> 00:04:40.879 lights up and the Christmas tree is up, and of 58 00:04:40.920 --> 00:04:43.439 course then there's the constant fight of trying to keep 59 00:04:43.439 --> 00:04:47.959 the cat from climbing the Christmas tree. But it's all 60 00:04:48.079 --> 00:04:50.519 it's all for good. You know again. I love the 61 00:04:50.600 --> 00:04:54.519 Christmas season. I've talked about it before that I have. 62 00:04:56.199 --> 00:05:01.199 You know, I had some complex issues with Chrisstmas during 63 00:05:01.439 --> 00:05:05.480 the years that I worked in retail, because you saw 64 00:05:05.519 --> 00:05:09.800 the worst in people. You saw people who really and 65 00:05:10.000 --> 00:05:16.519 truly just didn't understand Christmas. It was about getting the 66 00:05:16.560 --> 00:05:20.920 best gift, giving the best gift, and it was one 67 00:05:20.959 --> 00:05:26.439 of those things that even the most adamant Christmas believer 68 00:05:26.759 --> 00:05:30.439 would have struggled with. I mean, because you had to 69 00:05:30.480 --> 00:05:34.720 deal with Black Friday madness, and I can assure you 70 00:05:34.879 --> 00:05:38.480 that why there are some people there that are trying 71 00:05:38.519 --> 00:05:42.040 to take advantage so that way they can provide a 72 00:05:42.079 --> 00:05:45.439 great Christmas for their children. They are a lot more 73 00:05:45.519 --> 00:05:49.399 that are just there because they're wanting the best, cheapest 74 00:05:49.399 --> 00:05:53.920 deal for themselves. And when said deals sold out, they 75 00:05:54.040 --> 00:05:59.519 used to get really belligerent with the employees, and that 76 00:05:59.720 --> 00:06:03.959 that's a past I'm glad I no longer have to 77 00:06:04.199 --> 00:06:08.639 deal with, So I'm definitely good. There a couple of 78 00:06:08.720 --> 00:06:12.279 quick announcements, but before we get into that, as always, 79 00:06:12.319 --> 00:06:15.199 I want to ask that you like and subscribe to 80 00:06:15.240 --> 00:06:22.079 the Right Side Radio show. Remember we're on Apple Podcast, iHeartRadio, Spotify, Speaker, 81 00:06:22.360 --> 00:06:26.160 Amazon Music, and so many more. So make sure that 82 00:06:26.279 --> 00:06:32.560 you click that subscribe button on your podcatcher of choice. 83 00:06:32.759 --> 00:06:35.120 All right, So we'll get into a couple of the announcements. 84 00:06:35.199 --> 00:06:40.040 This show is going to be shorter version, hence me 85 00:06:40.160 --> 00:06:45.560 recording it on Thursday morning and not Wednesday evening and 86 00:06:45.639 --> 00:06:50.839 releasing it Thursday morning. Been a busy week at work, 87 00:06:50.879 --> 00:06:54.720 and last night I had every intention of sitting down 88 00:06:54.879 --> 00:07:01.720 and recording this episode, but I actually just fell asleep 89 00:07:01.959 --> 00:07:06.480 and collapsed for the evening. It's been a busy week. 90 00:07:06.759 --> 00:07:09.920 If you follow our newspaper you'll see some of the 91 00:07:09.959 --> 00:07:13.040 stories that we've had to cover that are still ongoing. 92 00:07:13.319 --> 00:07:17.040 So it's been a busy week. So because of that, 93 00:07:17.199 --> 00:07:20.519 I didn't get to record last night, and I'm going 94 00:07:20.560 --> 00:07:23.240 to keep this one a little bit shorter, you know, 95 00:07:23.399 --> 00:07:26.759 like the last episode. But you get in two flagships 96 00:07:26.759 --> 00:07:30.079 in one week, so if you put them together, you'll 97 00:07:30.079 --> 00:07:33.920 have an hour long show, I guess. And the other reason, 98 00:07:33.959 --> 00:07:38.480 of course, is, as I talked about on Monday's show. 99 00:07:39.800 --> 00:07:44.160 You know, Chris McDaniel, his mother has been in the hospital. 100 00:07:44.240 --> 00:07:48.120 He's talked about it on social media. He is not 101 00:07:49.199 --> 00:07:52.120 This is not something he's kept from the public, so 102 00:07:52.319 --> 00:07:55.399 he's been dealing with that. The good news on that 103 00:07:55.560 --> 00:08:00.279 front is, if everything goes as expected, she is is 104 00:08:00.560 --> 00:08:07.920 expected to be released from the hospital today. Again, that's expected, hopeful, 105 00:08:08.839 --> 00:08:13.720 but there again not guaranteed. But because of that, Chris 106 00:08:13.800 --> 00:08:18.480 will not be able to be on Chris McDaniels America 107 00:08:18.920 --> 00:08:24.000 that we're recording later today, which means I'll be filling 108 00:08:24.079 --> 00:08:28.079 in for Chris on that show today. So Chris McDaniels 109 00:08:28.120 --> 00:08:32.240 America will record later today at three thirty's that's our 110 00:08:32.320 --> 00:08:35.759 target time. May or may not be right at three thirty, 111 00:08:36.159 --> 00:08:39.960 but we are shooting for a three thirty record time. 112 00:08:40.360 --> 00:08:44.279 So I will be hosting that. I don't know if 113 00:08:44.320 --> 00:08:50.000 it'll be you know, Jim Skalski or Joshkurou Nichols or 114 00:08:50.120 --> 00:08:52.720 Kevin Lindsey that'll be sitting in with me just yet, 115 00:08:52.759 --> 00:08:55.879 but I do know that I will be handling the 116 00:08:56.360 --> 00:09:00.639 duties on that show. And because of that, it always 117 00:09:00.799 --> 00:09:04.360 is is best to try to keep things a little 118 00:09:04.399 --> 00:09:09.240 bit lighter on the h on this show, just because 119 00:09:11.000 --> 00:09:14.000 I don't want to put out a show that's going 120 00:09:14.120 --> 00:09:22.279 to pretty much repeat the talking points that I just 121 00:09:22.320 --> 00:09:25.519 went over on this show. That makes uh, that's not 122 00:09:25.600 --> 00:09:27.919 fun for any of you guys. But that's part of 123 00:09:27.919 --> 00:09:30.200 the problem. When you're putting out as much content as 124 00:09:30.279 --> 00:09:33.200 I try to put out for my listeners. It's one 125 00:09:33.240 --> 00:09:36.720 of those things that you you just know that, Okay, 126 00:09:37.399 --> 00:09:40.200 I'm going to uh, I'm gonna push that out so 127 00:09:41.639 --> 00:09:44.720 ah goodness, but I mean so again. Check that out 128 00:09:44.720 --> 00:09:46.759 at three point thirty today. You can watch it on 129 00:09:46.799 --> 00:09:50.559 Center McDaniel's Facebook page. You can watch it on YouTube, 130 00:09:50.639 --> 00:09:53.679 the Midnight Rides YouTube page, so there are multiple places 131 00:09:53.720 --> 00:09:57.039 that you can go to find Chris McDaniels America. Looking 132 00:09:57.039 --> 00:09:59.279 forward to getting back in the swing on that one 133 00:09:59.679 --> 00:10:04.080 and and having a good time with the show. Now, 134 00:10:04.519 --> 00:10:10.200 let's talk about the couple of news stories that I 135 00:10:10.240 --> 00:10:15.159 saw this morning, and that's one that we've seen. Of course, 136 00:10:16.360 --> 00:10:19.159 one of the biggest tragedies this year was the assassination 137 00:10:19.519 --> 00:10:24.039 of Charlie Kirk. It's still one of those things that 138 00:10:24.240 --> 00:10:27.159 leaves all of us shocked. I mean, every single one 139 00:10:27.200 --> 00:10:31.600 of us saw something and it's it's one of those 140 00:10:31.799 --> 00:10:35.279 things that I again, it's gonna be one of those 141 00:10:35.279 --> 00:10:39.559 moments in time that you will forever remember where you were. 142 00:10:39.799 --> 00:10:42.519 It's one of those moments in time that is etched 143 00:10:42.559 --> 00:10:46.919 into your brain for the remainder of you being here. 144 00:10:47.200 --> 00:10:50.440 It's just it's a fact. It is what it is 145 00:10:50.519 --> 00:10:53.200 when it comes to that, because it was so shocking. 146 00:10:55.679 --> 00:10:58.600 If you think back to the day when somebody first 147 00:10:58.639 --> 00:11:03.000 showed you the first video, which was far away and 148 00:11:03.080 --> 00:11:06.960 you couldn't tell exactly what happened, you questioned if it 149 00:11:07.039 --> 00:11:10.039 was real, and this day and age of AI, it 150 00:11:10.159 --> 00:11:13.759 was well within the realm of possibility that what you 151 00:11:13.799 --> 00:11:23.240 were seeing was one fake, but in our horrified reality, 152 00:11:23.320 --> 00:11:27.120 it was not, of course, and there's still a lot 153 00:11:27.120 --> 00:11:33.679 of questions going on after the Charlie Kirk assassination. We 154 00:11:33.759 --> 00:11:39.440 know that his alleged assassin, Tyler Robinson, is scheduled to 155 00:11:39.480 --> 00:11:44.600 make his first in person court appearance as he's facing 156 00:11:44.639 --> 00:11:52.840 his aggravated murder charge he is. The hearing marks the 157 00:11:52.879 --> 00:11:56.200 most significant step in the case so far, and comes 158 00:11:56.240 --> 00:12:01.360 amid growing concerns from media outlets and from Kirk's widow 159 00:12:02.320 --> 00:12:10.840 about the increase in secrecy around the proceedings. Robinson was charged, 160 00:12:10.879 --> 00:12:15.639 of course, with, as we said before, aggravated murder and 161 00:12:15.759 --> 00:12:23.679 multiple related felonies in Kirk's shooting. He has appeared via 162 00:12:23.879 --> 00:12:29.639 video or audio from jail on previous court hearings. Since then, 163 00:12:30.440 --> 00:12:35.039 much of the case has unfolded behind closed doors, and 164 00:12:35.120 --> 00:12:39.480 that doesn't sit well with a lot of media organizations, 165 00:12:39.519 --> 00:12:42.759 Fox News being one of them, and it doesn't sit 166 00:12:42.840 --> 00:12:48.840 well with myself either, because I want transparency here. There's 167 00:12:48.919 --> 00:12:52.440 now been a group of media that has requested that 168 00:12:52.559 --> 00:12:56.720 prosecutors and defense attorney be required to give advanced notice 169 00:12:57.200 --> 00:13:02.360 whenever they seek to seal filings or restrict public access 170 00:13:02.440 --> 00:13:06.159 so that those limits can be challenged before taking effect. 171 00:13:07.279 --> 00:13:11.720 Legal analyst and California based trial attorney, and I'm going 172 00:13:11.759 --> 00:13:18.120 to butcher his last name here, Roger Bodaker said the 173 00:13:18.200 --> 00:13:22.360 dramatic shift in transparency has been striking from the start. 174 00:13:24.000 --> 00:13:26.799 He was quoted as saying, it has been pretty odd 175 00:13:26.840 --> 00:13:30.360 that the information tap was at full blast for a 176 00:13:30.440 --> 00:13:34.639 little while and now it's completely shut off. It's kind 177 00:13:34.720 --> 00:13:40.240 of inconsistent with how you see cases move forward typically. 178 00:13:41.120 --> 00:13:47.559 Boat Ackers said that authorities were usually forthcoming early in investigations, 179 00:13:47.600 --> 00:13:52.720 releasing details that prosecutors typically hold back. He said that 180 00:13:52.759 --> 00:13:57.000 when they first arrested Tyler Robinson, the information tap was 181 00:13:57.200 --> 00:14:01.080 full blast. They told us they had audio recordings from 182 00:14:01.120 --> 00:14:07.000 Tyler Robinson and purported confession. They told us there was 183 00:14:07.159 --> 00:14:12.399 video footage from local fast food restaurant. They were very, very, 184 00:14:12.480 --> 00:14:18.039 almost oversharing in the beginning. But now they've shut off 185 00:14:18.120 --> 00:14:20.240 the tap and they're saying you can't even come to 186 00:14:20.320 --> 00:14:24.639 court and hear about what we're doing, when most of 187 00:14:24.679 --> 00:14:31.360 it is probably procedural because prosecutors proceeded by the indictment 188 00:14:31.679 --> 00:14:35.200 rather than the complaint. He noted the public will not 189 00:14:35.440 --> 00:14:40.639 see a primary a perminent preliminary hearing, and sustain of 190 00:14:40.879 --> 00:14:45.480 evidence may only emerge if the defense files certain motions 191 00:14:45.600 --> 00:14:49.480 months down the road. So again, there's a lot of 192 00:14:49.519 --> 00:14:55.039 folks that are wanting to get more information here, and 193 00:14:55.080 --> 00:14:57.440 this is something that a lot of folks want to see. 194 00:14:57.480 --> 00:15:05.240 Because there was a a move to classify the audio 195 00:15:05.279 --> 00:15:10.639 and transcripts from a closed October twenty fourth hearing as private. 196 00:15:11.399 --> 00:15:14.919 The session focused on court house security questions and how 197 00:15:15.000 --> 00:15:20.679 Robinson should appear in court going forward. Media organizations argued 198 00:15:20.720 --> 00:15:23.799 the public has are right to know when recordings are 199 00:15:23.840 --> 00:15:28.559 being sealed and challenged those limitations in real time. Charlie 200 00:15:28.639 --> 00:15:32.240 Kirk's widow, Erica Kirk, voiced concerns last month about the 201 00:15:32.360 --> 00:15:37.919 shrinking visibility around the case. She questioned why the suspect 202 00:15:38.120 --> 00:15:42.720 is being shielded from cameras when her husband was killed 203 00:15:42.799 --> 00:15:50.000 in front of a crowd. She had an interview an 204 00:15:50.039 --> 00:15:53.840 exclusive interview with Fox News as Jesse Walters, where she 205 00:15:54.000 --> 00:15:57.320 was quoted saying, there were cameras all over my husband 206 00:15:57.360 --> 00:16:00.759 when he was murdered. There have been camera all over 207 00:16:00.840 --> 00:16:04.399 my friends and family mourning. There have been cameras all 208 00:16:04.440 --> 00:16:08.840 over me analyzing my every move, analyzing my every smile, 209 00:16:09.200 --> 00:16:13.200 my every tear. We deserve to have cameras in there. 210 00:16:13.960 --> 00:16:18.799 Budocker said that her reaction is understandable, explaining that Erica 211 00:16:18.879 --> 00:16:24.360 Kirk's sentiments are readily understandable. She's a grieving widow and 212 00:16:25.279 --> 00:16:29.600 our hearts go out to her. At the same time, 213 00:16:29.960 --> 00:16:32.519 he said the court is under immense pressure given the 214 00:16:32.559 --> 00:16:37.039 political and national significance of the case. He went on 215 00:16:37.080 --> 00:16:40.360 to be quoted saying that the process has become complicated 216 00:16:40.399 --> 00:16:44.360 because of how significant Charlie was. This is a very 217 00:16:44.360 --> 00:16:49.320 political case, or a very politically charged case. There are 218 00:16:49.600 --> 00:16:54.559 very high emotions in this case, and there's also issues 219 00:16:54.639 --> 00:16:58.399 of tainting the jury pull. He explained that judges must 220 00:16:58.480 --> 00:17:01.559 balance the First Amendment right the media with the need 221 00:17:01.639 --> 00:17:05.119 to preserve the integrity of the trial, saying that court 222 00:17:05.200 --> 00:17:09.359 proceedings are supposed to be open in public, but you 223 00:17:09.480 --> 00:17:12.559 do have some real issues with how the public is 224 00:17:12.599 --> 00:17:18.079 going to access this information as to the consequences for 225 00:17:18.240 --> 00:17:24.279 the integrity of the trial. The judges ordered that Thursday's 226 00:17:24.319 --> 00:17:27.440 hearing be held in person, open to the public as 227 00:17:27.559 --> 00:17:31.559 much as possible, Although no details from the October twenty 228 00:17:31.599 --> 00:17:38.200 fourth proceeding may be disclosed if the hearing transitions into 229 00:17:38.240 --> 00:17:43.039 a closed session. The media's coalition's attorneys may remain in 230 00:17:43.079 --> 00:17:46.240 the court room, but may not share any portion of 231 00:17:46.279 --> 00:17:51.720 the stilled discussion with any outlet or client. The court 232 00:17:51.960 --> 00:17:56.119 has also imposed strict guidelines on how Robinson may be shown. 233 00:17:57.160 --> 00:18:02.200 He cannot be photographed or filmed in shat and may 234 00:18:02.319 --> 00:18:08.480 only be depicted when seated images of family members are prohibited, 235 00:18:08.599 --> 00:18:13.839 and reporters must comply with the court's decorum order. These 236 00:18:13.880 --> 00:18:18.720 restrictions mirror earlier rulings, including the postponement of prior hearings 237 00:18:18.759 --> 00:18:23.359 after disputes over whether Robinson could appear in jail attire 238 00:18:24.079 --> 00:18:30.240 and how that might influence public perception. Votacker said that 239 00:18:30.279 --> 00:18:35.240 these type of concerns are fair. He say courts oftentime 240 00:18:35.319 --> 00:18:39.279 will prohibit the media from depicting the dependent in shackles 241 00:18:39.559 --> 00:18:44.720 or in jail clothing because it creates this inference of guilt. 242 00:18:46.119 --> 00:18:49.440 Appearing restrained, he said, can lead jurors to view the 243 00:18:49.440 --> 00:18:55.799 defendant as dangerous or guilty before any evidence is presented. Still, 244 00:18:55.920 --> 00:19:01.119 he noted that restrictions may have limited impact in widely 245 00:19:01.160 --> 00:19:05.759 covered cases. Anybody who does a Google search will know 246 00:19:06.200 --> 00:19:10.240 at some point it may be in exercise and futility. 247 00:19:10.960 --> 00:19:16.920 Is the damage already done? He asked. Robinson's limited physical 248 00:19:16.920 --> 00:19:20.559 appearances have raised questions as well, and boat Actor says 249 00:19:20.599 --> 00:19:27.200 that most likely exploitation for keeping him on video is security. 250 00:19:28.079 --> 00:19:32.160 He says that Tyler Robinson is a security risk. He 251 00:19:32.319 --> 00:19:35.119 is at risk for being hit by someone who wants 252 00:19:35.160 --> 00:19:42.640 to seek revenge. He acknowledged the reasoning is a very 253 00:19:42.880 --> 00:19:48.559 clear deviation from the norm. Despite public frustration with the case, 254 00:19:48.599 --> 00:19:53.680 boat Acker said that the timeline is a typical is 255 00:19:54.279 --> 00:19:59.160 typical for a homicide case, particularly one in which the 256 00:19:59.200 --> 00:20:04.880 prosecution and intends to seek the death penalty. So again, 257 00:20:05.480 --> 00:20:09.319 there's some things that we are wanting more because this 258 00:20:09.480 --> 00:20:14.000 was a very very public execution, and I get it, 259 00:20:14.359 --> 00:20:17.319 I want to see more. But it's also being ramped 260 00:20:17.400 --> 00:20:20.799 up because there are various conspiracy theories that are being 261 00:20:20.839 --> 00:20:25.359 floated out about the Charlie Kirk assassination. I'm not going 262 00:20:25.440 --> 00:20:27.720 to get it into all the conspiracy theories, as I've 263 00:20:27.720 --> 00:20:30.759 told you before. You know, we like to try to 264 00:20:30.799 --> 00:20:36.839 project facts. We're not here to chase down conspiracies. You know, 265 00:20:36.960 --> 00:20:41.759 some of them are outlandish. Some might be probable, but 266 00:20:42.559 --> 00:20:46.440 they're all theories. They're not rooted in any fact at 267 00:20:46.440 --> 00:20:49.359 this point in time. If the moment you present me 268 00:20:49.440 --> 00:20:52.799 with the evidence and show me that this is actual, 269 00:20:53.160 --> 00:20:57.359 actual conspiracy, then we'll start talking about it. But for now, 270 00:20:57.720 --> 00:20:59.599 I just don't want to get off into those weeds, 271 00:21:00.319 --> 00:21:04.039 but only bring them up because these these conspiracy theories 272 00:21:04.079 --> 00:21:08.079 are ramping up. Why there's so much scrutiny about the 273 00:21:08.119 --> 00:21:12.000 fact that we're not getting information and when we see 274 00:21:12.000 --> 00:21:17.200 things like this where the court is sealing court records 275 00:21:17.240 --> 00:21:21.839 and not even sharing with the media, our brain instantly 276 00:21:21.880 --> 00:21:25.039 goes to their covering something up when the reality is 277 00:21:25.039 --> 00:21:30.079 what you hear there. It's standard operating procedure. There are times, 278 00:21:30.119 --> 00:21:33.079 in high profile cases such as this one, where the 279 00:21:33.119 --> 00:21:37.400 court has to make these type of decisions. It's not 280 00:21:37.480 --> 00:21:41.680 necessarily a part of a grand conspiracy. Even though that 281 00:21:41.880 --> 00:21:48.759 sounds great to us, it just isn't the case. I 282 00:21:48.839 --> 00:21:52.680 understand the frustration I myself and frustrated I myself have 283 00:21:53.319 --> 00:21:55.599 gone down a couple of the rabbit holes of some 284 00:21:55.640 --> 00:21:59.519 of these conspiracy theories. And yes, there are some conspiracy 285 00:21:59.599 --> 00:22:03.599 theories out there about this case that if you go 286 00:22:03.720 --> 00:22:09.519 down that rabbit hole can sound believable. And I'm one 287 00:22:09.559 --> 00:22:12.920 of the first to say that as somebody who doesn't 288 00:22:13.200 --> 00:22:16.880 deal with conspiracy theories, I have gone down conspiracy theory 289 00:22:16.960 --> 00:22:20.720 rabbit holes. When I was in high school, I wrote 290 00:22:20.720 --> 00:22:26.000 a term paper on the JFK assassination and the whole 291 00:22:26.039 --> 00:22:29.160 point of the paper was to go over the various 292 00:22:29.920 --> 00:22:35.079 conspiracy theories over who killed JFK. And that in that 293 00:22:35.880 --> 00:22:39.400 term paper, of course, you know, you had Lee R. V. Oswalt, 294 00:22:39.759 --> 00:22:44.519 the one that history tells you assassinated JFK. And then 295 00:22:44.960 --> 00:22:47.960 you had the CIA, you had the Mafia, you had 296 00:22:48.039 --> 00:22:51.880 the Russians. I mean, there was a whole vast that 297 00:22:51.960 --> 00:22:56.079 I went down in writing that that term paper. At 298 00:22:56.119 --> 00:22:58.440 the end of the day, you know, going through all 299 00:22:58.440 --> 00:23:02.319 those conspiracy theories, I had had no concrete evidence on 300 00:23:02.440 --> 00:23:05.880 any of them. You know. The closest thing that we 301 00:23:05.960 --> 00:23:10.759 could find was again, the accepted story that was Lee 302 00:23:10.799 --> 00:23:16.200 Harvey Oswald, you know, was the only one that had 303 00:23:17.279 --> 00:23:20.079 And I'm not again, I'm not going down that rabbit 304 00:23:20.119 --> 00:23:23.640 hole of saying what I believe on the JFK assassination. 305 00:23:24.240 --> 00:23:26.599 I definitely think there's more to it than just Lee 306 00:23:26.680 --> 00:23:32.799 Harvey Oswald. But when you went down the rabbit hole, 307 00:23:32.920 --> 00:23:38.119 because there were so many, the univerally the universally accepted 308 00:23:38.160 --> 00:23:41.960 answer was the easiest one to swallow. Doesn't mean it's 309 00:23:41.960 --> 00:23:48.480 the accurate one. It's just became the easiest one to swallow. 310 00:23:49.640 --> 00:23:54.279 So here we have another high profile assassination like this, 311 00:23:55.240 --> 00:23:59.519 and yes, people's imagination's going to run wild. Some of 312 00:23:59.559 --> 00:24:02.440 them may beyond to something, some of them may not be. 313 00:24:03.119 --> 00:24:07.400 It's just the nature of these type of cases. Because 314 00:24:07.480 --> 00:24:09.960 it happened in front of each and every single one 315 00:24:10.000 --> 00:24:13.039 of us, we all saw it. We all saw what 316 00:24:13.160 --> 00:24:16.279 happened in Charlie. It was right there in our face. People. 317 00:24:18.960 --> 00:24:22.880 We all want justice for Erica. We all want justice 318 00:24:22.920 --> 00:24:27.799 for Charlie. We want justice for his children. What happened 319 00:24:29.519 --> 00:24:36.000 was horrific. Do I believe that this young man shot 320 00:24:36.039 --> 00:24:38.960 and killed Charlie Kirk and till him presented with something 321 00:24:39.039 --> 00:24:43.599 credible to make me believe otherwise, Yes, that's I do 322 00:24:43.640 --> 00:24:49.160 believe he did. It's gonna be interesting to see how 323 00:24:49.880 --> 00:24:54.079 this trial unfolds. But right now, this judge, and I 324 00:24:54.160 --> 00:24:57.599 do not envy this judge in the slightest look since 325 00:24:58.759 --> 00:25:01.960 I started my job as reporter, and I've sat in 326 00:25:02.039 --> 00:25:08.319 court rooms, I've watched initial court appearances and I understand, 327 00:25:09.720 --> 00:25:12.799 you know, and in those initial court appearances when they 328 00:25:12.839 --> 00:25:15.480 determine what the bond's going to be, if there's going 329 00:25:15.559 --> 00:25:19.640 to be a bond, I've talked with some of the 330 00:25:19.759 --> 00:25:24.160 judges afterwards, and they're in a tough situation. People. They 331 00:25:24.680 --> 00:25:30.240 have to consider a lot of factors. And you know, 332 00:25:30.400 --> 00:25:33.920 not every case, even if the charge is the same, 333 00:25:35.119 --> 00:25:40.240 is created equal. Not every case are you going to see, well, 334 00:25:40.279 --> 00:25:43.759 this this is a this is an arm robbery case. 335 00:25:43.839 --> 00:25:47.920 The last arm robber got one hundred grand bond, this 336 00:25:47.960 --> 00:25:54.000 one got a twenty five grand. Well, there are extenuating 337 00:25:54.079 --> 00:25:57.559 factors that go into those decisions. Now, don't get me wrong, 338 00:25:57.599 --> 00:25:59.960 I think armed robbery, if judge gives you twenty five 339 00:26:00.359 --> 00:26:04.799 kon you're probably under cooking there for sure. But I'm 340 00:26:04.839 --> 00:26:08.599 just using that as an example. They'll look at past priors, 341 00:26:08.599 --> 00:26:13.039 they'll look at things like that. That's hard enough. But 342 00:26:13.160 --> 00:26:16.039 in a case like this, where it was very public 343 00:26:17.039 --> 00:26:23.240 in the entire country, the entire world knows this case. 344 00:26:25.240 --> 00:26:29.119 The entire world has already seen Tyler Robinson's face, we 345 00:26:29.240 --> 00:26:36.720 know his name, we know particulars as they've been told 346 00:26:36.799 --> 00:26:41.359 to us. This judge has a tough time of trying 347 00:26:41.400 --> 00:26:47.319 to figure out a way to make sure again, we 348 00:26:47.400 --> 00:26:50.480 may not like Tyler Robinson because of what he did 349 00:26:50.759 --> 00:26:57.839 allegedly did, but he does, by the rule of our country, 350 00:26:57.960 --> 00:27:00.440 deserve a fair trial, and that's what this judge is 351 00:27:00.480 --> 00:27:02.920 trying to do. I don't think this is a case 352 00:27:02.960 --> 00:27:06.680 of a vast conspiracy of them trying to cover things up. 353 00:27:06.720 --> 00:27:07.680 I think it's a case. 354 00:27:08.079 --> 00:27:08.279 Yes. 355 00:27:08.400 --> 00:27:11.319 Does it frustrate me to hear that this guy that 356 00:27:11.960 --> 00:27:15.440 very publicly killed Charlie Kirk gets to hide in the 357 00:27:15.559 --> 00:27:23.880 shadows that we can't have photos of him in shackles. Yes, 358 00:27:24.119 --> 00:27:28.720 but if he's convicted, we'll get all that. Right now, 359 00:27:29.359 --> 00:27:33.559 it's all about making sure that when it comes time 360 00:27:33.599 --> 00:27:37.880 to select the jury, that he can get a jury 361 00:27:39.359 --> 00:27:44.680 that can go into this thing objectively. If I lived 362 00:27:44.880 --> 00:27:48.079 in the area and we're asked to come sit on 363 00:27:48.079 --> 00:27:51.279 that jury, there's no way I could serve because I'm 364 00:27:51.839 --> 00:27:54.640 convinced Tyler Rominson's guilty as sin, and I'd have to 365 00:27:54.680 --> 00:27:59.240 say that the judge is trying and it's going to 366 00:27:59.279 --> 00:28:03.039 be extremely difficult. In a case like this that everybody 367 00:28:03.119 --> 00:28:09.400 he knows about, everybody has seen at this point, it's 368 00:28:09.400 --> 00:28:14.200 gonna be really, really difficult for him to make that happen. 369 00:28:16.160 --> 00:28:18.960 But that's his goal. He's trying to figure out a 370 00:28:19.000 --> 00:28:27.920 way to make sure that this becomes a jury trial 371 00:28:30.359 --> 00:28:41.559 that does not get thrown out because you've got biased jurors. 372 00:28:43.000 --> 00:28:47.079 He's trying his best to make sure that Robinson gets 373 00:28:47.079 --> 00:28:52.920 a fair trial. It's gonna be difficult, it might be 374 00:28:53.119 --> 00:28:57.160 damn well impossible. And that's why I say I do 375 00:28:57.240 --> 00:29:00.720 not envy the job that this judge has to do, 376 00:29:01.440 --> 00:29:04.599 because I don't see how you're gonna pull that off. 377 00:29:05.559 --> 00:29:09.519 But unless you just find somebody completely oblivious to anything 378 00:29:09.559 --> 00:29:12.559 happening in the world, I don't see how you pull 379 00:29:12.640 --> 00:29:17.799 this off. But if he can pull it off well 380 00:29:17.920 --> 00:29:20.480 enough to where at the end of the day they 381 00:29:20.519 --> 00:29:23.519 can get the conviction and then the conviction can stick 382 00:29:25.160 --> 00:29:30.119 after appeals, then more power to you. One thing that's 383 00:29:30.160 --> 00:29:32.720 clear one of the reports that we got early on 384 00:29:32.880 --> 00:29:37.400 that he had confessed obulously. If he did, he has recanted, 385 00:29:37.519 --> 00:29:39.599 because I don't think that you'd be going through this 386 00:29:39.920 --> 00:29:46.079 much procedural drama if you had the confession, because that 387 00:29:46.119 --> 00:29:49.759 would mean he's pleading guilty. It's very clear that Tyler 388 00:29:49.839 --> 00:29:54.440 Robinson is not pleading guilty in the assassination of Charlie Kirk, 389 00:29:55.680 --> 00:29:58.799 at least that's what my amateur eye is telling me 390 00:29:58.920 --> 00:30:02.559 at the moment. But we'll see. Because again we're along 391 00:30:02.640 --> 00:30:07.480 ways away from this. We're going to go ahead and 392 00:30:07.640 --> 00:30:11.880 wrap up with this week's episode right here, quick, little 393 00:30:11.920 --> 00:30:16.039 thirty minute hitter this week. Hopefully things will slow down 394 00:30:16.119 --> 00:30:18.160 next week and we come back and give you a 395 00:30:18.200 --> 00:30:22.440 full length episode before we go into our Christmas break. 396 00:30:23.400 --> 00:30:26.119 Of course, I still plan on I just got to 397 00:30:26.119 --> 00:30:28.480 find the time to put it together. I still plan 398 00:30:28.599 --> 00:30:32.279 on putting together a Christmas episode like I do every year. 399 00:30:33.519 --> 00:30:35.440 It's up in the air on whether or not I 400 00:30:35.519 --> 00:30:39.960 will do an actual New Year's episode this year, or 401 00:30:40.119 --> 00:30:45.400
