00:00:33.220 Today is May 18th, 2023.
00:00:35.180 Anno, Dominique.
00:00:36.020 Today's tough story.
00:00:37.240 A North Dakota DA has dropped murder charges on the man who ran over the conservative team.
00:00:45.460 We're going to get into it next.
00:00:46.600 A new update on Audrey Hale.
00:00:49.160 Turns out that she shot a stained glass image of Adam, the first man.
00:00:55.220 What does that mean?
00:00:55.780 And finally, Wired Magazine going gaga over Pete Buttigieg.
00:01:00.820 What?
00:01:01.420 All this in the world ahead, Human Events Daily.
00:01:13.080 Shannon Brandt of Glenfield was charged with running over and killing Kaler Ellingson.
00:01:18.400 Brandt was in court this week in Carrington, but his charges have now been reduced from murder to manslaughter.
00:01:24.420 That's according to court documents filed on Monday.
00:01:27.620 The incident happened in September of last year after a street dance in McHenry.
00:01:31.820 Authorities say it first appeared the two men were arguing over politics and that Brandt targeted Ellingson.
00:01:38.260 Brandt also told police that Ellingson was a Republican extremist and that he was afraid that Ellingson was calling people to come and get him.
00:01:45.600 Investigators now say there's no evidence that the case was political, nor was Ellingson a Republican extremist.
00:01:52.380 A probable cause affidavit shows that Brandt left the scene and was visibly intoxicated when authorities caught up with him at his home.
00:02:00.840 His trial is set to begin on May 30th.
00:02:03.380 Are you serious right now?
00:02:06.060 No explanation whatsoever has been given to the American people, to the family of Kaler Ellingson, to this community.
00:02:18.480 Why were the charges dropped?
00:02:22.920 This was a case, remember President Trump highlighted this case as well, where we were told that this drunk idiot, Shannon Brandt, 42 years old, told police officers, remember, his words to police.
00:02:34.860 That's not a, you know, Jack Posobiec, Charlie Kirk, Steve Bannon, Rav kind of thing.
00:02:43.200 No, no, no, no, no, no.
00:02:44.940 He told police that this kid was a Republican extremist and part of some group and that he was calling in other people.
00:02:55.160 So Brandt then ran him over with his car and specifically the autopsy even held.
00:03:02.780 And I've got to hear from the post-millennial that Ellingson, I got to collect myself for a moment.
00:03:11.120 Ellingson was not killed when he was struck with the car.
00:03:15.860 He was specifically killed when he was run over by Shannon Brandt.
00:03:21.940 He was really charged with murder.
00:03:24.380 This happened last September.
00:03:26.380 However, according to the AP, Foster County State Attorney Cara Brinster decided to reduce the charges from murder down to manslaughter and that it wasn't even part of a plea deal.
00:03:44.040 I said, OK, well, did he take a plea deal?
00:03:45.420 Right. That that is something that takes place sometimes where someone will take a plea deal and they'll say, OK, we'll make an agreement, which I also don't think they should do here.
00:03:54.500 In any case, you should not bring this.
00:03:58.000 As a plea deal, no deals, no deals with this guy.
00:04:03.000 Murdered a teenager for being a conservative Republican.
00:04:05.840 Again, we're told.
00:04:08.860 And instead, you get the charges reduced.
00:04:11.300 No, ain't good enough.
00:04:13.040 Not good enough.
00:04:14.040 Not when we see what's happening down in Texas with Daniel Perry.
00:04:17.920 Not when we see what's happening in New York City.
00:04:19.820 This is the this is the opposite right here.
00:04:21.860 This this shows you this is why conservatives lose.
00:04:24.580 This is why conservatives lose.
00:04:26.460 Because even in a place like North Dakota.
00:04:32.020 They'll take a situation.
00:04:34.360 Where the some guy will murder a conservative teenager.
00:04:39.600 And they won't even charge him with murder.
00:04:42.880 They won't even they'll reduce the charges without even getting a plea deal.
00:04:46.600 You know, because let's say, well, in the interest of fairing in the interest of being bad, are you kidding me?
00:04:53.100 This is insane.
00:04:54.060 And so here's what we're going to do.
00:04:55.100 And I want to I want to instruct producer Russ to put this up on screen.
00:05:01.000 There's a picture that I posted to Twitter earlier that I pulled from the LinkedIn.
00:05:06.840 OK, this is not a photo that I, you know, chose separately or something else.
00:05:11.800 This is a photo from LinkedIn of Kara Brinster, the North Dakota state's attorney.
00:05:17.560 So I want everyone to give a phone call to Kara Brinster.
00:05:22.680 And if you can't call her today, then you call her tomorrow.
00:05:26.300 And if she doesn't answer tomorrow, then you try back on Monday, then on Tuesday, then on Wednesday, then on Thursday, then on Friday again.
00:05:34.160 Because we need answers, Kara Brinster, North Dakota state's attorney.
00:05:39.880 Why did you drop Sharon Brinster's murder charges?
00:05:45.080 7-0-1-6-5-2-1-2-7-0.
00:05:49.980 I'm going to read it again.
00:05:51.720 7-0-1-6-5-2-1-2-7-0.
00:05:56.000 Can we get that like flashing on the screen?
00:05:58.060 Can we get that?
00:05:58.460 Can we get it up, boys?
00:05:59.180 Because I need to know, Kara.
00:06:01.860 I need to know.
00:06:03.800 Why did you reduce the charges?
00:06:06.080 Take it to trial.
00:06:07.640 Let a jury see this.
00:06:10.000 Because there's no video of this.
00:06:11.760 We only have his word against the fact of the dead body that's there.
00:06:16.620 And his word is, well, I didn't mean to hit.
00:06:18.780 Of course, he's going to say that.
00:06:20.200 Of course, his lawyer is going to say he didn't mean to hit him.
00:06:22.780 Of course, they're going to do everything they can to walk back everything.
00:06:25.260 The autopsy says, the autopsy specifically says that he was killed because he was run over.
00:06:34.480 You don't accidentally run somebody over.
00:06:38.360 I can understand a hit and run.
00:06:41.000 I can understand an actual hit and run.
00:06:42.680 I can.
00:06:43.020 They're tragic.
00:06:43.640 They're horrible.
00:06:44.320 But I can understand it.
00:06:46.320 I'm not saying I agree with it.
00:06:47.220 I'm not saying I can don't it.
00:06:48.440 But I can understand it.
00:06:49.540 I can see it happening.
00:06:51.160 But you hit someone and you run them over and kill them in the process.
00:06:55.260 And then flee the scene as we knew took place here.
00:06:58.640 Nah, man.
00:06:59.540 No, I don't buy it.
00:07:01.680 I don't buy it for a second.
00:07:03.520 You need to put this to a jury and you need to put that charge back on right now.
00:07:07.020 And if not, then maybe Kara Brinster should be prosecuted.
00:07:10.800 Maybe we should look into her.
00:07:12.240 Maybe we should have the North Dakota legislator see what's going on with Kara Brinster, North
00:07:17.980 Dakota state's attorney.
00:07:19.040 Find out what kind of money is going in to her law firm because something don't smell
00:07:24.780 right in Foster County and human events is going to get to the bottom of it.

00:07:41.680 Now, remember, we cannot control the Biden administration.
00:07:44.580 We can't control Biden inflation.
00:07:45.980 We can't stop them from launching these wars all over the world.
00:07:50.640 The spending, the printing that's going on by our federal reserve, it's completely
00:07:56.200 irresponsible.
00:07:56.880 And yet it doesn't seem to be anything we can do to stop them because you can't.
00:08:00.580 And when it seems like the whole world is spiraling out of control on a regular basis,
00:08:05.960 the only thing we can do is control that which is directly within our reach, which is directly
00:08:13.160 at, in front of our view.
00:08:16.980 That's our families.
00:08:17.980 That's our houses.
00:08:19.280 That's our employment.

00:08:25.300 That's why you can go to Allegiance Gold at protectwithposo.com right now.
00:08:30.900 Find out how to get started.
00:08:31.660 Covenant School is fighting for a say in how much of the shooter's writings are released.
00:08:38.040 Court filings show they're trying to keep some of Audrey Hale's journals in entries entirely
00:08:43.120 confidential.
00:08:44.160 Our Michael Warwick tells us why.
00:08:46.480 Tonight, court filings show the Covenant School is against the release of parts of Audrey Hale's
00:08:52.400 journal writings, specifically building designs and private information about school employees.
00:08:58.360 Nobody needs to see that.
00:09:00.080 That's not information we need to get out.
00:09:01.620 And then, two, we have to be very sensitive to the families.
00:09:04.920 We just simply want to be able to get an insight into this person who committed this horrific
00:09:10.160 act.
00:09:10.820 Representative Jason Zachary is one of more than 60 House Republicans who signed a letter
00:09:15.600 Monday urging Metro Police Chief John Drake to release Hale's motivation for the attack.
00:09:21.520 We need to be able to see what's in that manifesto that could maybe provide some insight as we gather
00:09:26.100 information, as we prepare for special sessions, as we work on legislation.
00:09:29.520 We need all the facts and all the data available to us.
00:09:32.860 Attorneys for the Covenant School filed two motions against the groups demanding the release
00:09:37.600 of the writings, saying school designs and employee information could jeopardize security
00:09:42.960 and privacy.
00:09:44.500 Well, so we've got a couple of new updates on Audrey Hale.
00:09:47.800 First and foremost, Audrey Hale in hell update.
00:09:51.240 This just in, Audrey Hale has now been burning in hell for 52 days because of her actions.
00:10:00.840 Sixty-six state legislators in Nashville, out of Tennessee, have come out and now supported
00:10:07.420 a letter to the city demanding the release of the Trana Festo.
00:10:12.920 It must be out and it needs to be out.
00:10:15.240 But over at nationalreview.com, and I know, I know, we don't usually like to cite National
00:10:20.420 Review around here, but there is something with direct information in it that I happen
00:10:26.640 to see this morning.
00:10:27.420 It's by Graham Hilliard and it's a Christian perspective on the Covenant, the Covenant school
00:10:35.140 massacre.
00:10:36.280 Just came out in the May 15th issue of the National Review.
00:10:40.240 Listen to this.
00:10:42.900 On the morning of March 27th, a transgender woman named Audrey Hale shot her way into the
00:10:49.740 Christian elementary school that employs my wife and educates my children.
00:10:56.240 So the author's wife and children were both there that day.
00:11:01.320 His wife was working, his kids go to school there.
00:11:03.580 The rampage that followed left seven dead, including the shooter, and has been duly chronicled,
00:11:10.460 interpreted, and mourned both here in Nashville and across the nation.
00:11:13.620 Despite the fact that no one in my family was physically harmed, or perhaps because of
00:11:18.160 it, I'd first decided not to write about the massacre.
00:11:20.580 By the way, thank God.
00:11:22.240 Thank God that his family was okay.
00:11:24.560 But what changed in my mind was an unreported detail confirmed privately by both police and
00:11:30.060 a church deacon in charge of the physical plant.
00:11:32.800 So you've now got new information that's going to be given to us here in this report.
00:11:38.180 At some point during her spree, Audrey Hale went from the school to the attached neo-Gothic
00:11:45.540 cathedral and fired seven bullets, seven bullets, into a stained glass figure of Adam, the first
00:11:54.480 man, according to the Genesis narrative.
00:11:57.360 A writer may try for a while to resist such a symbol, but as the existence of this article
00:12:03.460 proves, is unlikely to prevail in the end.
00:12:08.280 Did you know, we had, this is the first time, as far as I know, this is the first time that's
00:12:11.120 ever been reported anywhere that Audrey Hale, at one point during the shooting, paused and
00:12:17.520 took a detour to go and fire seven bullets into a stained glass figure of Adam, the first
00:12:24.900 man.
00:12:27.040 The symbology and iconography are towering in a situation like this because you've got Audrey
00:12:36.000 Hale, a woman, a biological woman who was mentally ill, a deranged psychopath who wanted to become
00:12:47.480 a man.
00:12:49.460 Now here's Adam, the first created man, but created not by himself, created by God.
00:12:58.580 Because Audrey Hale wanted essentially to commit an act of creation herself.
00:13:08.380 She wanted to recreate herself as a man and yet frustrated because humans do not have this
00:13:18.340 power to recreate our own bodies.
00:13:22.160 Women can create life.
00:13:23.080 This is true, but we cannot recreate that which has already been created.
00:13:28.080 There is but one creator.
00:13:31.500 And so that image of Adam, now I don't know what the layout of the covenant school is there.
00:13:39.660 So I don't know if there's a, if there's an Eve figure that's, that's next to Adam here.
00:13:44.140 We don't know.
00:13:45.760 Sometimes they're depicted together.
00:13:47.340 Not always.
00:13:47.880 Like for example, the Sistine Chapel only shows Adam.
00:13:50.480 It doesn't depict Eve, but that singular act of creation, God creating Adam.
00:13:57.240 Was what Audrey Hale chose to destroy.
00:14:01.560 And in that same way, Audrey Hale chose to destroy herself.
00:14:09.880 And chose to kill six people, including three children.
00:14:14.980 Christian children at that school.
00:14:19.880 When you consider the implications of this, it's staggering.
00:14:24.100 But I do also have to point out, if this were a Muslim school, and at some point, the shooter
00:14:31.180 had decided to destroy an image of Muhammad or some other Islamic symbol, we'd all call it
00:14:38.700 exactly what it was.
00:14:39.860 And you'd have lawmakers, you'd have activists, you'd have protesters outside the school, outside
00:14:47.480 the city, demanding the release of that train of Festo.
00:14:52.320 And the fact is, conservatives are still asleep at the wheel when it comes to this situation.
00:14:57.980 Now, I pray for Mr. Hilliard and his family and all the other families there.
00:15:02.740 But here's the thing, folks.
00:15:07.820 How many of us send our kids to Christian schools?
00:15:13.440 How many of us?
00:15:14.640 Are you willing for your children to be targeted by this insane group or any insane group going
00:15:22.280 forward?
00:15:23.360 Where's the FBI?
00:15:24.880 Where's the task forces?
00:15:26.320 Where's the informants?
00:15:27.420 Where's the, you know, the guys slipping into the group chats, going into Reddit?
00:15:33.780 You see what they do when, look at the Whitmer case.
00:15:37.440 They created a group.
00:15:39.680 They created an entire operation up in Michigan to go after a bunch of guys that just wanted
00:15:46.780 to go shoot guns in the woods.
00:15:48.520 But when you have cases like this, no response.
00:15:52.740 No response whatsoever.
00:15:54.040 Why?
00:15:56.240 Because our government is compromised.
00:15:58.780 It's compromised at the national level.
00:16:00.740 And in many cases, like we just saw in North Dakota, compromised at the state level.
00:16:05.300 And once you understand that and fully understand that your government has been subverted, then
00:16:11.540 you can start to figure out how to push forward.
00:16:14.260 What did we see in the Durham report?
00:16:16.100 A subverted, compromised government initiating a pathogen response to someone who was not of
00:16:22.920 their cloth, someone who wasn't part of the uniparty duopoly, someone who was trying to actually
00:16:29.320 enact real change in the United States.
00:16:31.880 It's all the way our government acted then.
00:16:34.500 We have a compromised government.
00:16:36.800 And that's the way we need to proceed.
00:16:39.300 All right.
00:16:42.160 So when we do the show every morning, take a look out there, scan the waterfront, scan the horizon, get up off of my MyPillow.
00:16:53.180 All right.
00:16:54.860 Finish my good night's sleep.
00:16:56.420 But, you know, there's stories sometimes that we're working on and, you know, I've got an exclusive or we're checking the updates on something with the Audrey Hale case.
00:17:07.640 And then I see this thing in Wired.com about Pete Buttigieg.
00:17:10.580 I said, oh, that's an interesting story.
00:17:11.760 Let's see what they got there.
00:17:13.080 I look into it and I said, are you kidding?
00:17:16.720 I thought it was a Babylon VPs.
00:17:19.200 This was one of those ones where I'm telling you, I was on the phone with somebody and I said, this is a joke, right?
00:17:25.400 This isn't a real article.
00:17:26.900 I said, no, it's a real article.
00:17:29.100 This is so Wired.com did a sit down by the Virginia Hufferman did a sit down with Pete Buttigieg.
00:17:38.600 And oh, my goodness.
00:17:43.440 This is one of the most over the top, insane, thirsty.
00:17:52.940 It's beyond puff piece.
00:17:54.460 I mean, this thing is like, is like their act, like the writer is actually in love with him, actually.
00:18:00.780 And it reads like.
00:18:03.280 This reads like a bad Twilight fan fiction.
00:18:06.400 Listen to this from Virginia.
00:18:08.120 So this is when they take the wine moms of the world and make them completely obsessed over a guy like Pete Buttigieg.
00:18:35.680 Buttigieg, because there's something about Buttigieg, who is, of course, a gay man, married to another gay man named Chastain.
00:18:42.840 They have children together.
00:18:44.200 And there's something about gay men that attracts the wine mom like none other, because that's how people like Virginia Hefferman wish all men would be.
00:18:55.640 They're not toxic men.
00:18:58.460 They're in touch with their feminine side.
00:19:01.620 And before you think I'm going off on here, let me let me just continue.
00:19:05.260 And it has to be a liberal gay man, by the way.
00:19:06.880 It has to be a liberal gay man.
00:19:07.940 But I'm reading this verbatim.
00:19:11.960 This is Wired.com.
00:19:13.120 This is not the Babylon Bee.
00:19:14.380 I've checked this 10 times.
00:19:15.380 The curious mind of Pete Buttigieg holds much of its functionality in reserve.
00:19:22.820 Even as he discusses railroads and airlines down to the pointless data that is his current stock and trade, the U.S. Secretary of Transportation comes off like a Mensa black card holder who might have a secret go habit or a three-second Rubik's-cued solution or a knack for supplying off the top of his head the day of the week or for a random date in 1404.
00:19:47.140 Along with non-condescending history of the Julian and Gregorian calendars, as Pete Buttigieg and I, Secretary Buttigieg, talked in his under-furnished corner office one afternoon in early spring, I slowly became a mayor that his cabinet job requires only a modest portion of his cognitive powers.
00:20:08.160 Other mental facilities, no kidding, are apportioned to the Iliad, Puritan histiography, and Nausgaard's spring, though not in the original Norwegian.
00:20:19.140 Fortunately, he was willing to devote yet another apes in his cathedral mind to making his ideas about three mighty themes, neoliberalism, masculinity, and Christianity intelligible to me.
00:20:33.140 Because Buttigieg at 44 is an old millennial, because as a Rhodes Scholar at Oxford, he got a first, a PPE, that's philosophy, politics, and economics, a trademark degree of the Labour Party elites of the Tony Blair era, because he worked optimizing grocery store pricing at McKinsey.
00:20:49.300 Yeah, that's all he did at McKinsey was optimize grocery store pricing.
00:20:55.120 Are you kidding me right now?
00:20:57.240 Optimizing pricing.
00:20:58.180 Do you know what McKinsey does to companies?
00:21:00.740 McKinsey goes in, price fixes, like they did with the bread up in Canada, then they fire everybody that they think they can from a company, and then they downsize it so that the owners of the company can sell it off.
00:21:12.660 That's what McKinsey does.
00:21:14.280 Oh my gosh.
00:21:15.900 I had to ask him about neoliberalism, the happy idea that consumer markets and liberal democracy will always expand, and will always expand together.
00:21:25.960 Oh yeah, I bet you really want to expand together, don't you, Virginia, with Pete Buttigieg.
00:21:31.640 You're really thinking of expanding together with Secretary of Transportation.
00:21:38.320 I was also fascinated, by the way, that Buttigieg had long described himself as obsessed with technology and data, has responded to the gendering of tech, especially green tech.
00:21:48.400 By the way, have you ever actually considered Pete Buttigieg to be particularly knowledgeable on anything when you see him in one of these interviews that he's done?
00:22:00.080 When you ask him something about, okay, look at his job.
00:22:03.740 Have you ever actually heard him sitting down and talking about transportation from a perspective of any knowledge whatsoever?
00:22:12.720 No, you get these platitudes from him.
00:22:15.460 He's like, well, we're currently working on all the facilities of the verisimilitude of really the anti-establishmentarianism type.
00:22:25.220 He throws around buzzwords all the time, rather than actually having any subject matter expertise whatsoever.
00:22:31.840 It's like, you ask me about China, and you say, what's your favorite dynasty?
00:22:35.360 And I will tell you about the different dynasties.
00:22:37.160 I'll say, what's your favorite member of the CCP?
00:22:40.260 I'll say, which era of the CCP?
00:22:41.640 Do you mean Mao's era?
00:22:42.820 Do you mean Deng Xiaoping's era?
00:22:44.260 Do you mean Xi Jinping's era?
00:22:47.100 Which one?
00:22:47.940 Which one is it?
00:22:49.120 What are the root causes of Tiananmen Square?
00:22:51.820 How did you just go into any of these, any of the subject matter expertise that you think would be required for any of these topics?
00:23:00.840 So just because he's interested in something or has a book about it somewhere, anywhere, no.
00:23:06.300 When you get down, they have this claptrap about it, basically talking about, oh, he's into queer theory, and he's into green theory, green energy, and they have some pictures of him, and there's nothing.
00:23:20.100 There's absolutely nothing.
00:23:22.400 And you don't actually see, you don't actually see anything, this guy's a lightweight, I'm telling you, he is an absolute lightweight.
00:23:32.540 But the fact of the matter is that when you read the information, when you read the information that comes out of him, and I'm looking at it, he's waxing about, you know, about Marjorie Taylor Greene, Vladimir Putin, and LBJ, and FDR.
00:23:57.260 You realize that this guy is, he's an empty suit, he's an empty vessel, all he cares about is himself, all he cares about are ambitions.
00:24:05.060 He clearly wants to run for president.
00:24:06.960 And as a white guy from the Midwest, wanting to run for president, right, who happens to be gay, he's found a track by attracting not only the wine moms of the world, like Virginia Heffernan, but he will also take money from anyone.
00:24:24.340 It doesn't matter if it's, if it's like, I'm going to say it right now, if Jeffrey Epstein were still around, Pete Buttigieg would not have a problem taking money from him.
00:24:31.680 Come at me, Media Matters.
00:24:33.320 You know it's true.
00:24:34.480 He would take money from Silicon Valley.
00:24:36.100 He would take money from a dying woman if he had to, because he doesn't care.
00:24:40.420 Secretary Buttigieg only cares about himself.
00:24:42.260 But when you look at Wired.com, you really have to ask yourself, why are they not going the way of Vice and BuzzFeed and Huffington Post?
00:24:49.400 Ladies and gentlemen, as always, you have my permission to lay ashore.
00:24:54.340 Thank you.
