00:00:00.000 Hey guys, it's Jack. I wanted to let you know that we're starting a new push for subscriptions here on Human Events Daily.
00:00:09.340 So make sure that when you're listening to this podcast, you hit subscribe, you download it, and you share it with five of your friends.
00:00:16.720 Make sure they're all going and downloading as well, because we need to get the signal out as much as possible.
00:00:22.440 Look, we've done so much over the past couple of years since this show started, and we're only going to do so much more.
00:00:29.600 Let's get it.
00:00:30.200 ...played to the media.
00:00:32.100 I would just reiterate that you ruled on already.
00:00:36.420 Not in support of our objection.
00:00:39.900 I do agree that Exhibit 7, the reason it wasn't shown,
00:00:43.820 was because it was part of a video that did show Mr. Kirk's death.
00:00:49.680 So I do think that's accurate, what he's saying.
00:00:53.920 It does appear to show faces of other individuals,
00:00:57.780 as do the other pictures in exhibit eight but again those the reason they
00:01:04.320 weren't showed is because it was part of the video that showed the the actual
00:01:08.940 incident so all right thank you as it relates to exhibit seven it may be
00:01:16.800 published only in the courtroom and taking a note to the Utah Constitution
00:01:23.500 article 1 section 28 as it relates to victim rights 1a and dealing with to be
00:01:34.420 treated with fairness respect and dignity before you publish that please
00:01:39.880 make us aware and if the victim representative and her family chooses to
00:01:46.300 remain in the courtroom they may but I want to give them fair notice if they
00:01:49.900 choose not to be in the courtroom I don't want it to come up as a surprise
00:01:53.180 so please give that notice and and to anyone else in the courtroom that wishes
00:01:59.480 not to see that that applies as well so that's the conditions for states exhibit
00:02:05.420 7 published only to the courtroom not to be broadcast going to exhibit 9 thank
00:02:11.060 you and exhibit 7 to be clear that does not show the impact no I'm aware but
00:02:15.260 just I've given the native sensitive nature and I appreciate the
00:02:18.940 differentiation. And Ms. Nestor also addressed that as well, which I appreciate. But given the
00:02:25.800 nature of what it is, the court is taking that stance. Okay. Exhibit 8, I'll submit. You can see
00:02:32.080 that exhibit there. This is a video that's taken behind Mr. Kirk before the shooting.
00:02:40.220 And this, again, is a still shot. It is not a video. All right. And I'm assuming Exhibit 9 as
00:02:46.900 well right are you making a similar request yes to broadcast to to all three
00:02:54.280 levels all right miss Nestor as it eight nine as stills well the only the
00:03:00.880 objection that we would have about this going out to the media is that it's
00:03:03.800 taken out of context so it's actually precedes the shooting so it's misleading
00:03:14.660 if it goes out to the media but that's just our standing objection is to
00:03:19.100 everything so that's all we would have your honor thank you as it relates to
00:03:22.580 states exhibit eight and nine for the reasons I mentioned in states exhibit
00:03:27.540 seven it may be published to the courtroom and as well please to the
00:03:32.760 state give us fair notice so that the parties who do not wish to remain in the
00:03:37.420 courtroom have an opportunity to exit and and and then we can proceed
00:03:43.100 accordingly so it may be published only to the courtroom states exhibit eight
00:03:47.000 and nine okay mr. yes we have I think three more and then we're done and then
00:03:57.800 we're into the ones that were published to everyone at the preliminary hearing
00:04:00.600 exhibit 14 this was Mike Mitchell's 1102 statement this is a snip of the relevant
00:04:07.980 portion as it relates to one of the elements of one of the offenses it was
00:04:14.860 not published to the media or the courtroom this is not the entirety of
00:04:17.460 the exhibit it's three lines of that four lines of that statement all right
00:04:21.180 and to publication level all three levels all right mr. your honor this one
00:04:26.700 is hearsay this is we argued this fairly extensively in front of the court and
00:04:31.620 the court ruled it should not come out and we would ask the court to stand by
00:04:35.920 that ruling. All right. I'm going to deny the publication of State's Exhibit 14. All right.
00:04:44.860 16.2. 16.2. This is communications between the defendant and his gaming friends on the
00:04:54.240 Discord chat, and I'll submit it at that. It's the same, all three levels. All right.
00:05:01.120 And again, we had a pretty robust argument on these as well, on both 16.2 and 16.3 purported
00:05:10.480 statements coming from the defendant that we felt impeded the ability to seat a fair
00:05:16.980 jury and get an impartial trial, and the court agreed, and we would ask the court to stand
00:05:22.620 by your ruling that they should be published in the courtroom only, not televised.
00:05:26.880 and so for clarification was this presented verbatim in evidence in open
00:05:33.520 court like the the text itself not the screenshots but these statements were
00:05:38.780 they published in court
00:05:45.880 I don't recall okay all right I'm gonna deny the request for 16.2 and 16.3 to
00:05:55.440 publish to the courtroom again excuse me both of these were published to the
00:06:00.680 courtroom I'm sorry but I thought you're asking if the media recorded them
00:06:05.220 verbatim through testimony so 16.2 and 16.3 were both published to the
00:06:10.260 courtroom only I misunderstood you I see what you're saying all right so I'll
00:06:16.440 grant the request to publish it in the courtroom only okay that does it your
00:06:25.360 honor the remainder of the exhibits were published at all three levels at the
00:06:31.600 preliminary hearing and granted miss Nestor's position on those I think that
00:06:37.560 we don't need to relitigate that issue they've already been published to the
00:06:40.900 media so I don't see any reason they wouldn't be published the media here
00:06:43.380 all right so those may be published and broadcast through the media the
00:06:49.300 remainder of it and just for the benefit of the record would you put those on the
00:06:52.840 record what numbers they are three point two five point one ten point one twelve
00:07:07.400 point four sixteen point one nineteen twenty twenty one twenty two twenty five
00:07:17.800 30 and 32 your honor it's 1206 right now I did plan for some contingencies and
00:07:34.140 had a separate presentation ready to go in case the rulings went against me here
00:07:38.780 as far as publication to the media I didn't foresee all of this I think now
00:07:43.740 is a good time to take lunch I can adjust my presentation to make sure
00:07:47.000 there's no inadvertent publication to the media any objection no objection
00:07:53.240 thank you all right it said 12 10 we'll come back at 1 10 and begin with the
00:07:58.460 states the court is in recess
00:08:17.000 All right, folks.
00:08:27.740 What we just saw, of course, that was the Tyler Robinson preliminary hearing.
00:08:33.160 This has been covered.
00:08:34.540 Real America's Voice has been holding on to this for the entire afternoon today.
00:08:40.580 Of course, 2 p.m. our hour.
00:08:44.120 But remember, in Mountain Time, it is just about noon, just crossed over into the noon hour, so they are breaking for lunch.
00:08:51.560 Now, what we saw already is that some hearing had begun, but all of the results that we got, all of the rulings that we got, were in regards to evidentiary permissions, were in regards to media being allowed in the courtroom.
00:09:11.820 All of those things are what was brought into the court, yet we don't have any specific rulings on the actual hearing yet.
00:09:20.780 And so let's take a step back and just remind everyone the process here.
00:09:26.580 And so I'm familiar with this, having been through the first week of this hearing itself, and to remind people how we got here.
00:09:36.200 So when I was there in the courtroom and sitting right where you see various members of the gallery right there, it's very warm.
00:09:45.880 It is very small.
00:09:48.120 You have police officers all around, SWAT officers are there guarding the proceedings, making sure that everyone is safe.
00:09:55.820 They're fully kitted out.
00:09:56.900 They're extremely well armed while inside the courtroom.
00:10:00.480 Tyler Robinson, of course, will be present and is seated just a few feet away from you
00:10:06.880 and from anyone who is in there.
00:10:09.500 Both families, of course, the Kirk family and the Robinson family are present.
00:10:13.980 And I'll say, as I said at the time, I pray for the Kirks and I pray for the Robinsons.
00:10:21.160 I think that obviously everyone knows my connection with Charlie,
00:10:26.460 but i would also say that robinson family they seem like good people they seem like decent people
00:10:32.980 didn't deserve this they deserve this at all and what's happening to them is an absolute nightmare
00:10:41.920 and to have to sit there and go through this and picking up that phone making the phone call the
00:10:49.220 way that they did it's it's just remarkable i find it absolutely personally remarkable that
00:10:54.840 they were able to do that now back to the procedure though we are still waiting to hear we're at the
00:11:00.940 point in the trial where the trial has yet begun isn't a trial yet hearing and it's hearing to
00:11:06.560 decide whether there will be a trial if you can believe it or not so even though we were coming
00:11:10.420 up we're nine days away from the first anniversary of charlie's assassination and we've yet to
00:11:18.100 actually even begin the trial. The way Utah does it is there is a preliminary hearing,
00:11:24.340 then the charges are decided, the charges are filed, the defendant has to plead one way or the
00:11:31.820 other, and then the pieces start to fall in place for the actual trial. So the judge,
00:11:38.840 acting as a magistrate in this capacity, has to, this is in lieu of a grand jury. So a grand jury
00:11:46.580 proceeding, which you might be more familiar with sometimes at the state level, also at the federal
00:11:49.440 level, is when this is done behind closed doors, they issue their findings, they issue their
00:11:54.640 indictments, and then the ball gets rolling for the actual trial. No grand jury here. This one
00:11:59.780 is decided by the judge. And so the judge is going to make his ruling. And we are told, by the way,
00:12:05.620 we were told that that ruling will come today as to whether or not this trial will move forward
00:12:11.320 and whether or not we get the death penalty on the table.
00:12:16.760 Now, I'm not a lawyer.
00:12:18.080 That's just my lay understanding, having obviously been personally affected by this case
00:12:22.040 and having been present in the courtroom.
00:12:24.940 But my next guest is his name is Will Chamberlain.
00:12:27.600 He is the host of Counterweight, the new podcast that is burning up the charts on Apple and
00:12:33.660 Spotify and also a member over at the Article 3 Project.
00:12:37.860 Will, how are you?
00:12:39.080 Good to be with you, Jack.
00:12:41.320 And, by the way, great congrats on the podcast, getting it up.
00:12:45.880 I've listened to the first couple episodes so far.
00:12:47.740 I find it very informative, and it's pretty – it's not Human Events Daily, but, you know, it's all right.
00:12:53.700 Well, I'll take that as high praise.
00:12:55.460 Human Events Daily sets an extremely high bar.
00:12:58.320 Well, thank you.
00:12:58.820 I appreciate that.
00:12:59.540 And so correct me where I was wrong, but did I lay out the process of this?
00:13:05.160 Did I get that right in terms of what we're – with the point we're at in the legal proceedings here with Kyle Robinson?
00:13:11.320 and what we expect to see today. Yeah, I mean, my understanding, I'm a little bit behind the
00:13:17.040 eight ball on this, but my understanding is we're expecting a ruling here on the question of whether
00:13:22.240 or not there's probable cause and whether these charges are going to be bound over. And then that
00:13:27.280 starts the real process. Yeah, Will, so what we were told was that today was going to be arguments,
00:13:33.360 which have yet to begin, right? So we're all behind the eight ball. So the arguments have yet
00:13:38.100 to actually begin because there were some preliminary motions that they were going through
00:13:43.060 early on. Again, evidentiary transparency, what Tyler Robinson's team trying to block evidence,
00:13:51.200 the prosecution trying to reveal the evidence to the public and be transparent. Tyler Robinson's
00:13:56.400 team, Tyler Robinson's team at one point claimed that, that some of the evidence should be banned
00:14:01.900 and also that cameras should be banned in the courtroom because of poly market. And they claimed
00:14:06.220 that polymarket shows the, uh, undue influence of live streams. And that's a reason potentially
00:14:14.440 to not show the public, uh, give the public access. And specifically they, they cited the,
00:14:19.880 uh, I don't know what you call it, the, um, entry on polymarket where you could bet on whether or
00:14:25.840 not he would be found guilty of homicide. Of course, as you and I both know, uh, that has
00:14:30.200 nothing to do with the live stream that has to do with the results of the trial. Whenever that does
00:14:35.080 take place. So it's not affected by live streaming at all. Yet Tyler Robinson's team decided to take
00:14:39.980 a Hail Mary and go for that and waste a whole bunch of time with the delay tactics that you've
00:14:44.900 been coming on this program and detailing for months at this point. So now they have effectively
00:14:49.640 delayed all the way until lunchtime. So now here we are during the lunch break in the hearing,
00:14:55.640 which has not actually begun. So we were told we're going to get argument from each side. Each
00:15:01.280 Chida is expected to give about an hour for their respective arguments, the prosecution, then the defense.
00:15:08.740 We don't know if there's going to be a response to the prosecution or anything like that,
00:15:12.280 or if the prosecution is going to try to respond to the defense,
00:15:15.820 and at which point the judge will, Judge Graff will likely take a break.
00:15:20.340 And we were told that the court announced by one of his clerks earlier, I believe earlier in the week,
00:15:27.160 I think it was yesterday, that a ruling will be issued today.
00:15:31.880 Yeah, I'm not surprised. This happens sometimes in court where there's an argument, but the decision's already been made effectively, and so the argument is just kind of pro forma.
00:15:41.500 I get the sense that that's what's going on here, and that's kind of for obvious reasons, right?
00:15:45.460 The judge held something like a week, a full week of preliminary hearings on all these questions that we covered in detail that you were in.
00:15:54.200 You were in Utah for these hearings, so he's already—
00:15:56.760 Sure was, and it was grueling. It was just as grueling as this.
00:16:00.200 Right. So, well, I mean, from that, that means that he's already kind of figured out in his mind what he's going to do here.
00:16:05.480 And plus, just for the folks back home watching, there has also been written briefings which have been published and we've got them up at the postmillennialandhumanevents.com, which people can go read.
00:16:20.240 So those those written briefings were sort of the kind of like a summary, I guess you could say, of the things that happened during the hearings when they were when they were going on.
00:16:30.080 And now we're getting to the closing argument. So it was the five days of the grueling hearing that took place before.
00:16:35.800 It was the written arguments. Now today is, and to your point, it's, you know, kind of formality because he really, you know, I think really the judge and both sides know what is going to be said at this point.
00:16:48.740 Exactly. And he doesn't need to hear an oral argument that is just regurgitating the stuff he's already read in the briefing.
00:16:54.320 In fact, he'd probably be kind of annoyed if they tried to make brand new spanking new arguments in their oral argument that didn't occur to them over the weeks that they had to write these briefs.
00:17:05.140 This is actually – in federal court, this is one of those situations where a judge would probably say no oral argument is needed here after the briefing is done, and he would just resolve the motion on its own merits.
00:17:15.520 Obviously, state courts do – different states do different things in terms of requiring oral argument.
00:17:19.840 you never know but the fact that the judge already said that he's going to issue a ruling today means
00:17:25.200 if you if you're hearing that as an advocate it means that you really you know that what
00:17:28.560 you go get up and say in court doesn't really matter very well i'm just gonna say it that
00:17:33.120 that we um we when i say we i mean like like myself and you know some of the guys that i was
00:17:38.320 with we expected a ruling at the end of the five days last time we were there in utah and it was
00:17:43.440 the defense that said oh no no we want to brief you know we want to we want to brief we want to
00:17:48.400 going to drag this out. We're going to go. Remember, this was July. And so we're sitting
00:17:52.300 there in July in the high desert in the middle of the sun thinking that, okay, we've been
00:17:57.220 through five days of this with with no coffee because Utah is sort of a sort of a low coffee
00:18:02.780 state, shall we say. And then the defense says, oh, no, we're going to brief and we're
00:18:09.500 going to have another hearing after this to get a ruling on the briefings. And I have
00:18:15.020 to say it definitely felt like the wind was sucked out of the sails because we thought that you know
00:18:20.360 we'd be you know at least um at least seeing some progress at the end of the week and then to be
00:18:25.620 told that that no instead it's going to delay it it really goes to show you that uh when when a team
00:18:31.020 has chosen delay as a tactic there are all sorts of things that they can do to delay a proceeding
00:18:36.600 that's absolutely true uh and i think it's it seems particularly true in the state court instance
00:18:41.880 I think in federal court, the indictment would have been turned around by now, I think, at least with the criminal proceedings in federal court.
00:18:47.200 Things tend to run more efficiently, obviously, because you don't even have this whole preliminary hearing preparation thing.
00:18:53.280 You literally just have a grand jury indictment.
00:18:55.340 I mean, you'd be right into the scheduling trial dates already because the moment the complaint would be unsealed, if this were a federal proceeding, they would have already obtained the indictment from a grand jury.
00:19:05.800 uh one of probably one of the arguably one of the virtues of the sort of grand jury system it may be
00:19:10.860 less public but it is it is more efficient in this respect i think that's right and and in addition
00:19:18.420 when when we find this out and you know so for just to kind of put people in the room some more
00:19:23.520 um during during the break period which is uh generally an hour you know there is time uh you
00:19:28.620 go into you know each each side if you will kind of has their own um you know kind of has an area
00:19:35.620 It's usually an unused courtroom that's on the same floor.
00:19:38.460 So you go over there, it's secure, you get food, you can sit, but it's not relaxing in
00:19:45.560 any way because you're still in there and it's extremely tense.
00:19:49.140 There's so much anxiety, especially for the non-lawyers or people without any legal background
00:19:54.520 at all who have to keep up with the whole thing.
00:19:56.800 In addition, by the way, to the obvious, just the obvious personal element of all of this
00:20:03.360 for the families that are involved and the families are right there. I mean, again, the
00:20:08.380 thing that I've tried to stress so much to people is just how small the courtroom is
00:20:12.620 or, you know, and I mean to say it's not, it's not a confined space, but it's, you'd
00:20:17.560 think for something like this, you know, you go to a, you know, a Trump rally or something
00:20:22.360 or you, a turning point event, right? You know, I suppose that'd be the more apt comparison
00:20:28.240 And you'd see Charlie on stage with tens of thousands of people cheering and celebrating for their country.
00:20:36.900 And it seems almost reductive to think that something so enormous as the murder of Charlie Kirk could be reduced to, you know, I think it's six of my notes over in the corner there.
00:20:50.980 I think it was six rows of, you know, of seats.
00:20:55.280 They're not very comfortable.
00:20:56.280 They're, they're wooden with a little cushion on them and, uh, and you are in there.
00:21:00.960 And I just remember it being very, very warm and, uh, to the point where it's, um, you
00:21:06.380 know, you, you, you better be, you know, getting a coffee, uh, brought in or some kind of caffeine
00:21:11.140 because you got to stay up.
00:21:13.360 And, uh, some of these arguments can be very, very boring.
00:21:16.260 For example, when in the last time, one of the, uh, one of the defense attorneys decided
00:21:21.340 to argue whether or not DNA science was valid or not for about three to four hours at a clip.
00:21:31.340 He then proceeded to do the exact same thing with ballistics and everything else.
00:21:36.300 And again, it was something where the judge just allowed him, quite frankly, a lot of
00:21:40.620 time, probably more time than he should have to go through these things at this stage of
00:21:45.380 the hearing.
00:21:45.700 Jack Posobiec, Will Chamberlain, coming back, the preliminary hearing in the murder trial
00:21:49.820 by Kirk.
00:21:51.340 where's jack where's jack where is he jack i want to see you
00:22:07.660 great job jack thank you what a job you do you know we have an incredible thing we're always
00:22:15.120 talking about the fake news and the bad but we have guys and these are the guys should be getting
00:22:20.080 policies. All right, folks, we are back live human events daily. We are, of course, covering
00:22:30.200 everything that is going on in the Tyler Robinson preliminary hearing. We're on with
00:22:38.520 Will Chamberlain, the host of counterweight and also senior associate at the article three
00:22:45.840 project will. So when we're looking for something like this, to your point, we shouldn't be
00:22:51.240 expecting to see any more, any new arguments be made. That being said, let me ask you this
00:22:58.220 question. If you're the defense team, can you potentially pull out any more stops to find
00:23:03.260 more delays here? I mean, maybe that really would be a function of Utah procedure and what kind of
00:23:11.140 motions you're allowed to make and how seriously the judge intends on taking those motions.
00:23:15.840 I think my guess is the judge is trying to be scrupulously careful to protect the defendant's due process rights here.
00:23:21.480 And the reason is he doesn't want this trial getting thrown back at him.
00:23:24.120 He knows, you know, this is a serious matter and all the eyes are going to be on him.
00:23:29.000 So I think he's generally just going to be trying to make sure that the, you know, the defense just doesn't really have any meaningful complaints or at least any reasonable complaints.
00:23:41.660 Yeah, I think that's right.
00:23:42.860 And it doesn't seem doesn't seem reasonable at all.
00:23:45.940 And in fact, it's it's getting to the point where, you know, they're kind of restating the things that that they've all stated multiple times.
00:23:53.800 And in fact, you know, we just watched about 40 minutes of Judge Graff going through why, you know, why it was not prejudicial for I'm sorry.
00:24:03.620 I'm laughing because it seems so ridiculous to me, these delay tactics that he's saying that it's that it's it's not prejudicial for poly market to be, you know, putting up entries about the case, because that's the type of thing that is going to happen, whether or not there is a live stream of the trial.
00:24:23.140 All right. This this is about transparency in the judicial process.
00:24:28.820 That is something that the public has a right to.
00:24:32.840 And the flip side of which is that, you know, you you have less transparency and you have less insight into a trial and something like this, which has been so caustic and has been argued about.
00:24:44.920 In fact, well, I believe you have a debate coming up on this or, you know, certain elements of this here in the near future that's dropping, which so please promote that when you get a chance.
00:24:57.060 And, you know, it's that's just just why we should all have the ability to see what's actually happening.
00:25:04.400 Totally, totally agreed.
00:25:06.500 And I mean, yeah, the poly market thing is absurd.
00:25:09.460 It's not it.
00:25:10.980 First off, it wouldn't have any impact on the judge.
00:25:12.520 Obviously, the judge is just doing their job.
00:25:14.060 And secondly, the idea that it would prejudice a fair trial only – I mean that's something that obviously could be cured with instructions to the jury at the outset of the trial, which is like, by the way, just in case you guys were wondering, you're not allowed to bet on the outcome of this trial on polymarket.
00:25:27.700 If you do so, it would be a serious crime.
00:25:29.640 That would be sufficient.
00:25:31.040 Any judge would be okay with that.
00:25:32.960 Any appellate court would look at that and say that's totally reasonable because there's a lot of – there's already a billion other instructions you have to give to jurors in the modern world.
00:25:39.760 Let me just tease that out a little bit.
00:25:42.560 So if you were on the jury, right, and we've seen, by the way, congressional candidates do this.
00:25:48.680 We saw President Trump's, I think, teleprompter manager, his director of the teleprompter had to pay a huge fine over ethics for, I forget if it was Polly Market or Calci, one of these.
00:26:01.280 But if you were on the jury and you were found to be betting on Polly Market, they can find that out, right?
00:26:08.760 Yes.
00:26:09.840 They find this stuff out all the time, right?
00:26:11.980 Like if, you know, especially if your bet was sizable in any way, in a way that was distinct from the rest of the people, I mean, gosh, it would be easy to find.
00:26:19.460 And then I don't know exactly what the crime would be under Utah law, but I'm sorry it would be some sort of wire fraud.
00:26:25.480 I was thinking there's another one.
00:26:26.460 It was the Green Beret on the Venezuela raid.
00:26:29.800 Right.
00:26:30.020 Which, by the way, I totally disagree with.
00:26:31.780 He should have it.
00:26:32.740 Let him keep his money.
00:26:34.780 And he should be reinstated.
00:26:38.600 Well, perhaps.
00:26:40.500 Perhaps.
00:26:40.860 Well, no, because that was not breaking classified information.
00:26:45.160 That was just him.
00:26:46.120 Now, he had that information, but he did not leak classified information.
00:26:50.920 He just bet that he thought that something would happen to Maduro.
00:26:54.200 I suspect that argument may not do too well when it actually faces a judge in a motion to dismiss.
00:27:00.520 I suspect that might not go over so well.
00:27:03.460 Well, I mean, it depends on what level we're talking here.
00:27:06.360 It depends on whether that's criminal or ethics-based.
00:27:09.540 But but point being is, is they're going to find out, OK, they're going to find out.
00:27:15.280 That's the point I'm trying to make here that, you know, the judge will find out very quickly if there's anyone suspected of using polymarket.
00:27:23.640 And, yes, they can monitor it. And, yes, they can check your communications.
00:27:27.240 And so I don't know. Well, I don't know why it is what people seem to think that that law enforcement in America isn't good at stuff like this because they actually are quite good at it.
00:27:36.720 question courts yeah no i i they the courts have dealt with many of these problems before i mean
00:27:43.080 they deal with these types of problems with regard to controlling juries accessing social media right
00:27:47.180 like that's going to be a huge thing in this trial is that every day the judge is going to
00:27:51.280 instruct the jurors not to access social media um so controlling you know figuring out ways to
00:27:56.980 control juries and ensure fair trials is just i mean these trials trials happen every single day
00:28:00.760 in the united states of america and on any number of topics for any number of crimes for any number
00:28:05.060 of civil cases. This is not novel. No, it's not. And by the way, I think people are realizing too
00:28:11.920 that if you're on jury, they can do things like say, give us your cell phones and we are going
00:28:20.500 to look or they're going to pull you in for questioning. All of this is within their purview
00:28:27.620 because you are participating as a sworn member of a legal proceeding. So it doesn't mean that
00:28:34.860 you're just some, you have the same rights as, you know, any random member of the public,
00:28:40.480 right? You have your ethic. And obviously, right. Jury tampering is something that is a crime in
00:28:48.240 the United States. And yes, actual members of the jury can be found guilty of it too,
00:28:54.340 because that's what it would be. This would be jury tampering.
00:28:56.920 That's it. That's exactly right. I have to get off the line. I apologize, but
00:29:00.380 a hundred percent right on that point totally understand will thank you so much for hopping
00:29:04.980 on here tell uh well i'll put it out you gotta run but uh go check out counterweight will
00:29:10.040 chamberlain and go follow him on x and all the other spots where he is at we're coming up on a
00:29:15.240 quick break here so i want to talk a little bit when we get back about the other trial that america
00:29:21.120 is watching the lindsey clancy trial which may be going to a hung jury why could that be i have an
00:29:28.120 idea. I'll tell you about it when I get back. Human Events Daily, Real America's Voice.
00:29:58.120 you talk about influences these are influences and uh they're friends of mine
00:30:05.060 jack so like where's jack jack he's got a great job
00:30:10.820 all right folks human events daily right back here jack posovic ladies and gentlemen right
00:30:20.300 now there's a page on the internet with your name at the top of it your home address your
00:30:25.120 phone number, your relatives, your old addresses going back years. Yet you never made that page.
00:30:30.740 You never said yes to it. A company called a data broker built it to make money, and there are
00:30:36.560 hundreds of companies just like it, each one publishing their own version of you. Here's what
00:30:42.520 that means. A stranger with your name in probably about 20 minutes can figure out where you live,
00:30:47.220 where you used to live, who your family is, and when you bought your house. They can map out your
00:30:52.480 whole life and the people doing that homework on you are not doing it for a good reason no in fact
00:30:59.780 that is how scams start they find your birthday they find your mother's maiden name and now they
00:31:04.120 can answer your bank's security questions better in fact than you can sometimes and i know we all
00:31:11.040 certainly have those that's why myself and my family we use patriot protect they go to those
00:31:16.360 sites and get your information taken off and they keep checking so when it pops back up again they
00:31:22.120 take it down again. Before Patriot Protect, I could type my own name into Google, pull my own
00:31:26.880 home address, page after page of it, it was all up. Now that information, invisible. They pulled
00:31:32.680 tens of thousands of records for listeners of this show. My family's on my plan. You can get
00:31:38.600 your family on yours too. Other services just send you alert after the information is already gone.
00:31:44.400 Patriot Protect makes you and your family unsearchable, so the scam never gets started.
00:31:49.020 The phone scam runs thousands of dollars for people.
00:31:52.760 Becoming unsearchable costs a whole lot less.
00:31:55.500 And it's simple.
00:31:56.100 If they don't remove any of your records within 30 days, you get your money back.
00:32:00.180 That page with your name on it is up right now while you're listening to me.

00:32:10.660 Remember, that's PatriotPOSO.com promo code POSO.
00:32:14.600 A stranger can map out your whole life in 20 minutes unless you become unsearchable.
00:32:21.180 Now, folks, you need to understand what's going on in our country.
00:32:26.280 And in order to do so, unfortunately, one of the ways that we can find this out is through the prevalence of the court proceedings that we see going on.
00:32:35.080 because not only is the Tyler Robinson trial for the murder of Charlie Kirk happening in Provo, Utah,
00:32:41.000 but also there is a Lindsay Clancy trial, which is currently deadlocked.
00:32:46.120 I want to get a, the jury is deadlocked.
00:32:48.320 I want to get an update on that.
00:32:49.700 So we've got Libby Emmons, the editor-in-chief of the Postmillennial and Human Events joining us.
00:32:53.500 Libby, how are you?
00:32:55.000 I'm good, Jack. Thanks.
00:32:56.980 And thanks for hopping on at the last minute like this.
00:33:00.280 We didn't know that the hearing would be going to lunchtime, and yet here we are.
00:33:04.700 We are quite literally at the mercy of the court. But Libby, when it comes to this now, I have this contention and I've been posting about it.
00:33:12.360 It's sort of become a meme. But I think it's one of those things where like any any good meme, that's because we all have a certain resonance with it.
00:33:20.720 And we know that the the breakdown and you've been posting about this, that the breakdown of the jury is nine women and three men in the Lindsay Clancy trial.
00:33:31.440 We found out earlier today that it was deadlocked.
00:33:35.160 They went back to the judge and said, we can't, we actually can't agree.
00:33:38.840 And in fact, we have that clip.
00:33:41.000 Let's play it for everyone.
00:33:43.280 Well, members of the jury, I've got your question.
00:33:47.000 And the question is, after many hours of deliberation, we are unable to come to a unanimous decision.
00:33:54.040 I brought you back out because I know that this was a long trial.
00:33:59.360 All right.
00:34:00.240 I know there were over 80 witnesses. There were over 300 exhibits.
00:34:06.360 And but because of that, I'm going to ask you to go back out, keeping in mind all of the instructions I gave you to go out and to continue your deliberations at this time.
00:34:20.500 Now he's asking me to go back. The judge is saying, hey, you know, we're not we're not going to pull this just yet.
00:34:25.800 So that would lead to a hung jury, which would lead to a mistrial.
00:34:28.920 And as I was saying before, there's been this meme that perhaps it's the three men that are holding out
00:34:35.440 because they are the ones who believe she is guilty while the women believe she is not guilty.
00:34:42.460 Now, we don't know that for sure.
00:34:43.920 And I want to make sure to say that for the people who want to be pedantic in the comments and online.
00:34:49.440 But Libby, you get what I'm saying when I say that, right?
00:34:53.800 Oh, I sure do.
00:34:54.720 There is definitely this trend that women are being more sympathetic toward Clancy, and I find that so bizarre.
00:35:02.560 I would think that women would know better than anyone else that there is absolutely no justification to murder your child, or your three children in this case, even if you're feeling really sad about being a mommy that day.
00:35:15.000 And for sure, I don't understand postpartum depression.
00:35:17.700 I didn't experience anything like that.
00:35:19.860 But even if you do experience something like that, it's up to you to not kill your children.
00:35:24.920 And I've been following this meme as well.
00:35:27.620 And I agree with you because I think that it would be so hard to look at your own family if you were a man and say, I have this family, but I could see a circumstance in which case I could see that my wife was justified in killing our children.
00:35:42.320 well and so when when we put out and we have a whole chapter on this in uh the new unhumans book
00:35:50.900 socialist revolution because this is exactly what we're talking about we're talking about this
00:35:55.540 fried mental model that so many people have and caitlin bennett has been putting up incredible
00:36:00.880 videos today where she is interviewing moms on the streets instead of man on the street it's moms on
00:36:07.100 the street. And she's down in, I think St. Augustine, Florida, and just going around to
00:36:12.360 random moms at the park and, you know, asking them obviously if they want to be interviewed
00:36:16.000 and then saying, you know, do you think Lindsay Clancy is guilty or not? And mom after mom after
00:36:20.980 mom is saying, well, you know, I think she was sleep deprived or maybe the husband did it,
00:36:27.040 or maybe there's something like this. And it's, it's a contagion, a mental contagion that has
00:36:33.560 absolutely spread nationwide. And so I don't think that I'm, you know, too far off my rocker
00:36:40.340 here, too far over my skis to say perhaps that it has made its way into the jury box.
00:36:45.860 Yeah. And when you look at the jury box, you have to understand that this is not just a jury of
00:36:51.320 Clancy's peers in Plymouth. This is all of our peers in the United States. Is this what
00:36:56.380 they are really thinking? Are they really thinking that it's possible to justify
00:37:00.320 child murder if you're just not feeling up to mothering that day or, you know, having difficulty
00:37:06.160 for a little while. And I'd like to say I'm wearing a pink scarf. It has nothing to do with
00:37:10.300 Clancy. I just, I just like this scarf seriously, but I think that's something to think about.
00:37:15.740 Oh gosh, no, no, no. I didn't, I thought that was a, I was hoping that was just a, you know,
00:37:19.620 a color variation coming through the system. Oh my gosh, she's turned on us. Libby Edmonds is going,
00:37:25.800 is going full liberal. But yeah, I think we need to realize that this is a, this is a jury of all
00:37:31.720 of our peers. This is what women are thinking about across the country. And it's absolutely
00:37:36.200 maddening. And as someone who believes in this crazy thing called women having equal rights
00:37:41.680 under the law, I look at this and I say, how can women justify asking for more power if you can't
00:37:47.940 even take responsibility for your own brutal actions? And if you can't even expect a woman
00:37:53.460 to take responsibility for murdering somebody, never mind her own children. I mean, that's
00:37:59.580 really, that's insane. I think it would be a real step back for women's equality if it turns out
00:38:05.320 that you can just say, hey, I was nuts for a little bit, and so that's why I did this horrific
00:38:09.860 thing. Don't blame me. All right, Libby, and J-Town is actually hopping on right now. He's
00:38:19.000 joining us wanted to hop him in here and kind of bouncing between different cases a lot of things
00:38:25.380 that are that are moving jay how are you good to be with you jack how are you and i'm happy to
00:38:30.960 chime in on clancy too it's it's captivated all of us and uh you know big big day i'd love to get
00:38:37.260 your take on that this this you know i threw out there that maybe it's the three guys who are the
00:38:41.240 holdouts uh you're you're uh more experienced in this field than me just you know do you think
00:38:45.740 that that's something that could possibly be a likelihood well i mean it's it's possible i mean
00:38:52.980 it's hard for me to even imagine what it would take to be a holdout in this particular case given
00:38:58.500 the you know the the mountain of evidence uh against her i i don't believe one bit of the
00:39:04.760 mental health defense um and and jack if i could just pose this for your audience as to why that
00:39:10.040 is right it's not that i don't believe in mental health or postpartum depression or psychosis or
00:39:14.700 the DSM. Here's the piece of evidence that I would like your audience to really consider
00:39:19.980 as to whether or not somebody is crazy. Now, Lindsay Clancy is a nurse. She's a mandatory
00:39:25.700 reporter. She must notify the police if she suspects anything or anyone of domestic abuse,
00:39:34.160 sexual abuse, some sort of predatory behavior. And she informed, according to the mother-in-law
00:39:40.660 and the husband that informed them both that she had concerns she might harm the children.
00:39:46.220 Now, she was seeing mental health professionals in the 11 months leading up to the murders.
00:39:52.860 Well, interesting. Why didn't she tell one of those mental health professionals that?
00:39:58.220 That I'm thinking I'm going to harm my kids. I'm scared. I'm having weird thoughts. Well,
00:40:03.240 you know why? Because she knew that they were mandatory reporters either as well. They had
00:40:08.940 to notify police. Child Protective Services would have showed up at her door, taken her kids away,
00:40:14.160 removed her from the home, put her in a facility for evaluation. She might not have seen those
00:40:19.160 kids again until somebody cleared her. That is understanding the wrongfulness of your actions
00:40:25.500 because she concealed the truth from the only professionals that she saw that could actually
00:40:31.740 help her and more importantly protect those kids jay that's exactly what we all hope that would
00:40:41.000 have happened but for some reason that there was a breakdown and it did not we got a quick break
00:40:47.060 holding up jay i want to hold you for just a little bit longer because this is the entire
00:40:52.520 nation it's wrapped around it you can see it right back
00:40:55.720 so big appreciation hour i can say confidently i believe i think josh shapiro would be the vice
00:41:05.040 presidential nominee if it wasn't for jack so big and that that is i'm being honest
00:41:09.380 all right folks jack so big we are back here human events daily we've got on a uh i guess
00:41:20.940 a legal panel now in the sense that we're a legal analysis panel maybe i should say because we're
00:41:25.620 We're discussing a number of the cases that are going on right now.
00:41:29.020 Tyler Robinson, of course, that case is on hold right now.
00:41:32.100 We were just watching the preliminary hearing for that.
00:41:34.800 But also something that's on hold and, you know, sort of held in abeyance is the Lindsay Clancy murder trial.
00:41:41.200 Now, that one is up for a verdict.
00:41:43.740 But actually, Jay, let me ask you this, because so this is something we've been we've been dealing with in the Charlie case where we're coming up on the one year of that murder.
00:41:55.620 Um, this is yet to even finish the preliminary hearing, Lindsey Clancy, this, uh, these murders,
00:42:02.640 this series of murders took place. If I have this down correctly, almost, almost four years ago.
00:42:07.640 So it's been almost four years since she killed her kids in that basement and it is only now
00:42:13.960 gone to trial. So when we look at the timeline of these things, um, you know, with, with the
00:42:19.100 Tyler Robinson trial, the way that it's working through is would you call that standard? Would
00:42:23.160 you call that delayed? What should we be expecting here? Oh, they're both delayed. And now for a
00:42:29.760 mental health defense, it is not unreasonable to go a couple of years. You know, these doctors,
00:42:35.120 they evaluate over a period of months a patient, and then it takes them months to create their
00:42:40.980 report. And then there'll be a counter expert to that report takes them six months. So you can
00:42:45.900 billed in 18 months from right away after the charges are referred from a grand jury because
00:42:53.900 that's how long it's going to take the experts. But four years is too long. And remember, we're
00:43:00.460 just, you know, I don't know where it's going to go in Utah, but we're just at a preliminary. This
00:43:04.360 is better than a coin toss is all a preliminary hearing is that Tyler Robinson murdered Charlie
00:43:09.800 Kirk. He's confessed to it to, I don't know, half a dozen people at least, right, on 10 different
00:43:15.520 occasions. So, and his DNA is all over the gun, the shell casings, the Dremel that put the
00:43:23.260 disgusting remarks on the shell casings. So, you know, honestly, this should never take this long
00:43:30.720 for a preliminary hearing. This judge is treating it like it's a mini jury trial. It's not. And the
00:43:35.800 prosecution, frankly, has kind of let it happen. This is a, for a prelim, you literally could have
00:43:41.500 one or two witnesses. Most of my prelims, and I've done thousands of them, they, you know,
00:43:46.600 as one witness, the cop read the report, they run the medical examiner's report, any ballistics
00:43:51.440 reports, and they just read it to the judge. It's all hearsay, sure, but hearsay is allowable
00:43:55.940 at a preliminary hearing. It's reliable hearsay because those experts are going to come testify
00:43:59.840 at the trial itself. That's why it's reliable and invisible at a prelim. So, you know, I just,
00:44:05.520 for Erica and for the Kirk family and for everybody whose heart was broken on that day,
00:44:09.620 on September 10th. I just feel like this thing needs to move along. I couldn't agree more. And
00:44:17.900 of course, that's where we're at here in the, not we, but the family, what's left of it is up
00:44:26.100 in the Lindsey Clancy trial, where it's been almost four years. So over three and a half years
00:44:32.300 now, it was January of 2023. It's been a long time. It's been a very long time. Libby, I want
00:44:38.740 I want to pull you in once again on this because I want to ask that, you know, you're seeing all
00:44:44.280 this as it plays out. You know, we do see an intersection of these cultural lines, cultural
00:44:51.780 fault lines in our society regarding the Lindsay Clancy case specifically. And unfortunately,
00:44:58.300 do you think these fault lines have any hope of ever, ever coming back together anytime soon?
00:45:05.540 You know, I would love to say that I really do hope that and that I think that it's possible.
00:45:10.700 I do hope it. I don't know that it's possible right now.
00:45:14.100 I think this is I mean, I can't be the only woman who just finds it absolutely shocking that women are showing up with their kids to advocate for a child killer.
00:45:23.840 And it makes it really hard to believe that our country can come together.
00:45:27.880 And what's interesting here is, too, this is not really a right or left issue.
00:45:32.380 This is not a primarily political divide. This is a divide over what people think is justifiable. And we live in a culture that is a death cult. We have a pro-abortion culture, a pro-euthanasia culture.
00:45:47.020 And it's no wonder that a lot of women who are pro-choice think that it's okay to even kill children, I guess, 18 months after they've been born.
00:45:57.100 So I do hope that we can come together.
00:45:59.480 But until people like the Lindsey Clancy supporters realize that actions have consequences and that accountability matters, we're not going to be able to do that.
00:46:10.460 I think that's quite part of it as well.
00:46:13.160 But, Jay, I want to get you back on here because one of the things that, you know, I certainly have been, you know, wondering is, and I think all of us, is how much of this that we see going on on social media, how much of this actually makes its way into a jury room?
00:46:28.540 Obviously, this is the kind of thing that, you know, you hope is covered in voir dire, you hope is screened for, but it doesn't mean that juries are not susceptible to it because they're, you know, jurors are human beings, too.
00:46:38.000 They are. And, you know, I don't believe that there's not a single jury in the Clancy case or eventually in the Robinson case that will see or has seen social media or even the protests outside of the courthouse that hasn't influenced them just a little bit.
00:46:56.820 If they didn't see it because they're great jurors and great stewards of their jury instructions, their husbands did or their wives did or their neighbors or wherever they were this weekend.
00:47:07.380 Everybody knows that their juror on this trial, all their friends know, their families know, their work knows.
00:47:13.580 And so they're continually peppering them with she didn't do it or, you know, the husband did it, which is ridiculous.
00:47:20.900 Right. You know, he's even had to hire a legal team.
00:47:23.800 And all of these ridiculous theories that you're seeing online, that's not by experts.
00:47:28.560 It's just people opining on their own out of, you know, sort of whimsical whole plot.
00:47:34.620 Too much of it creeps into the jury room.
00:47:37.000 And here's what I'll end with, Jack, is that, you know, when you're the prosecution, you should run a tight case.
00:47:44.920 If you let it expand for five or six weeks, you allow the circus tent's time to set up outside.
00:47:50.480 And then you allow the circus to come to town and it can influence your jurists.
00:47:55.480 It can influence your jury. Certainly TV and media are talking about it.
00:48:00.180 This was over in eight days, a 10 witness case. OK, that's it.
00:48:04.960 Right. A couple of doctors, the medical examiner, the mother-in-law and the husband and maybe a couple of cops.
00:48:12.460 And that's it. This isn't a whodunit. This is is she nuts or not. That's it.
00:48:17.260 And so, I mean, yeah, the arguments are going to be long and the jury deserves to hear all of that.
00:48:22.800 But this is not a six week trial. That's absurd.
00:48:25.900 And so you've let the circus come to town now. Prosecution.
00:48:29.200 The Commonwealth needs to now if they have to try this thing again because it hangs, which it appears it might, then they need to tighten up their case.
00:48:37.800 This needs to be a two week trial after voir dire, not this six week ridiculous sideshow that the defense wanted it to be.
00:48:45.760 No, I think you're right. And I think that the defense absolutely has played into this circus.
00:48:51.800 And we see that when the defense attorney Reddington goes out there every day and he's interacting with these activists and supporters that are out there and that he's, you know, he's he's egging him on.
00:49:02.480 He's he's egging him on. He's giving him the sound bites. He's doing exactly what he wants.
00:49:07.180 J-Town, where can people go to follow you and get access to your legal expertise?
00:49:11.360 please uh you can follow me on exit eight at j town alabama i really appreciate you having me on

00:49:22.240 you so much i want to close here with with libby because libby look as a mom right you know and
00:49:27.540 and people have said oh jack you've been hard on the moms this week i said no no no i've been hard
00:49:31.500 on the toxic feminists but there's another type of mom out there and you know i haven't had my
00:49:37.820 wife tanya tay on this to um you know interview her or anything but you know she's horrified by
00:49:44.600 this uh this case and has actually said she doesn't doesn't like you know hearing she listens
00:49:50.700 to the show every day and she said i don't like hearing about this that it's it's it's obviously
00:49:54.500 very hard to consider uh for any mom so libby give us give us that side of it yeah i think tanya tay
00:50:01.800 is right and i think she is an absolutely wonderful woman and a wonderful mom and i agree with her
00:50:06.720 a hundred percent. I don't like hearing about this case either. I hate listening to it. It's
00:50:11.200 absolutely horrifying. And there's so many women who feel that way as well. So many moms who look
00:50:17.180 at their children every day and are just grateful for the opportunity to raise them and for the
00:50:22.740 opportunity to be their mother. I feel that way every single day since my son was born. I'm just
00:50:28.100 so grateful to be his mom. And kudos to all the moms out there who don't understand Lindsay
00:50:33.340 Clancy at all. God bless. And please, please go and give Libby a follow. And you're right.
00:50:40.540 Gratitude is a superpower. Gratitude is a superpower. Ladies and gentlemen,
00:50:45.900 as always, you have my permission to lay ashore.
