Transcript
00:00:00.000
Hey guys, welcome to Relatable. Happy Thursday. As promised, today we are talking about Julius
00:00:15.200
Jones. He was the Oklahoma man who was on death row and his death sentence was commuted by the
00:00:23.320
governor after there was a loud protest from the criminal justice crowd and specifically the
00:00:32.240
Innocence Project. Also Kim Kardashian, NBA stars, Viola Davis, who all advocated on behalf of
00:00:39.400
Julius Jones's innocence, claiming that he was framed. Today we are talking to Sean Fitzgerald.
00:00:46.040
He, or Fitzgerald, maybe that's how he pronounces it. He has a YouTube channel,
00:00:50.620
actual justice warrior where he breaks down these cases and he has combed through all of the
00:00:56.380
facts of this case and he contends that Julius Jones, way beyond a reasonable doubt, is actually
00:01:02.100
guilty. The conversation that we're having is not about the death penalty per se. I have done
00:01:09.800
a theological episode on the death penalty and we will link that episode in the description to this
00:01:16.520
episode so you can go listen to it. We are primarily talking about whether or not Julius Jones is
00:01:21.940
innocent and the machine behind trying to contend for someone's innocence that is driven primarily
00:01:30.160
by people like the Innocence Project. The reason why this case came to prominence and why you know
00:01:39.080
Julius Jones's name is because there was a three-episode documentary that was produced by Viola Davis that
00:01:45.320
aired on ABC in 2018 called The Last Defense and it was put together and that's mostly what people who
00:01:53.620
say that that Julius Jones was innocent, that's mostly what people are referring to. They're referring to
00:02:00.300
not the court transcripts, not the actual evidence that's presented or not presented. They are looking at
00:02:07.820
this particular documentary. A documentary can be very informative, but it tells a story that is put
00:02:14.840
together by a person who may have a particular narrative. So it's not actual documentation or a primary
00:02:23.260
source if you're trying to understand a particular case or any particular event. It might be informative in some
00:02:29.420
ways, but it's not enough to tell us what the truth of a case is. And so that's why we are doing, why we are
00:02:36.220
having this conversation today, doing this episode today. And we are also going to talk about what
00:02:43.040
happened in Waukesha with Daryl Brooks, who has been charged with murder of six people. And we're
00:02:50.800
going to talk about the media coverage of that, why they're not calling it terrorism, why they aren't
00:02:56.140
talking about the motives at all. It's very strange. Probably it seems like race and social justice and
00:03:02.700
so-called equity are all factors in that. So we're going to get into all of this today. Might be a
00:03:08.700
contentious, controversial episode, but that's what we do. It's a particular perspective, and I hope that
00:03:14.480
you learned something from it and can appreciate it. And without further ado, here is our new friend,
00:03:20.520
Sean. Sean, thank you so much for joining us. Can you tell everyone who you are and what you do?
00:03:26.800
I'm Sean Fitzgerald. I run a channel called The Actual Justice Warrior on YouTube,
00:03:33.160
where I cover criminal justice related topics and political topics. That's about it. It's not a big
00:03:41.800
thing. No. Well, actually, it is a big thing because there has been such a fierce debate for a long time,
00:03:48.600
but especially over the past year, I would say after the George Floyd incident, people debating what
00:03:53.780
justice looks like. And we've heard this term as J.W. Social Justice Warrior for a while,
00:03:58.600
and there seems to be such a stark disagreement on what justice actually is. So why did you start
00:04:04.700
your channel and why did you name it Actual Justice Warrior? Well, I started my channel because my
00:04:10.660
background in terms of my education is in criminal justice. Like I hold two degrees in the subject. So
00:04:16.800
it was something that I was always interested in. And as far back as I can remember, the media was
00:04:21.760
really bad at reporting criminal justice related stories. So essentially, a lot of what I do is
00:04:28.620
I'll just read the actual case documents of a case that's in the media and try to correct terrible
00:04:35.040
reporting. Yeah. So let's talk about some of that terrible reporting, or at least in your estimation.
00:04:41.580
Let's talk about Julius Jones, because that's how I found you. I think that maybe I had followed you
00:04:48.460
already, and I had seen some of your tweets, but I watched your videos on Julius Jones, and you were
00:04:54.920
one of the only people I saw that was actually covering this thoroughly. So let's start from
00:05:00.620
the very beginning. Feel free to talk as long as you want to include as many details as you want to
00:05:05.480
a lot of people just don't know what this case is, who Julius Jones is, why he didn't get the death
00:05:13.300
penalty when he was supposed to. So let's start from the beginning. Who is Julius Jones? Why are you
00:05:17.900
interested in this case? So from way back in the beginning, Julius Jones is a serial carjacker
00:05:25.820
who attempted to carjack one Paul Howe on July 28th, 1999. And when Paul Howe opened his door in
00:05:34.360
his parents' driveway, Julius Jones shot him in the head one time, killing him in front of his children.
00:05:40.600
And that is what is being, let me just say, that's what's being contended. That's,
00:05:44.140
you believe that the evidence points to that. But of course, the Innocence Project, Kim Kardashian,
00:05:48.880
a lot of people on the other side, they would say, they say that it's not Julius Jones. But this is
00:05:53.000
your assertion based on what you've looked at, correct? Right, based on the evidence. This is
00:05:58.340
what was laid out by the prosecution way back when, when they tried Julius Jones and convicted him for
00:06:04.060
the murder. So after Paul Howe was shot and killed, the Howe family, which is Megan, Toby, Paul Howe's
00:06:10.720
sister, and the two daughters fled into the home, Julius Jones fired upon them as they were fleeing
00:06:16.920
into the home. Then he got into the suburban, backed out, crushed Paul Howe's legs and drove away.
00:06:22.920
Now, the Jones defense team contends that it was not Julius Jones, that it was actually
00:06:28.200
who was ended up being his co-defendant, Christopher Jordan, who shot Paul Howe and stole the car.
00:06:35.340
But the evidence against Julius Jones is overwhelming. And the evidence is actually
00:06:40.200
greater today when he got the the commutation than it was back in the day. So there was there
00:06:46.960
was a red bandana that was worn by the shooter that was described by Paul Howe's sister. And the
00:06:51.820
Jones defense team contended the whole time that Jones wasn't the shooter. There's even a clip of
00:06:57.100
his daughter. His sister saw the bandana. OK, got it. She was in the passenger seat because Megan
00:07:03.140
Toby's the only adult eyewitness to the case. Like the two daughters did unfortunately see what
00:07:09.740
happened to Paul Howe, but they weren't testifying in court or anything like that. So the sister
00:07:15.380
identifies this bandana. They find the bandana inside Julius Jones's bedroom. The murder weapon
00:07:21.700
is wrapped in it. They also find a white shirt with black trim on it, which was like black trim around
00:07:27.420
the neck, which is very underreported. It's a very distinct shirt that was described by Toby.
00:07:33.020
And it was also found in Julius Jones's bedroom. And the defense, like one of their big proponents,
00:07:39.500
one of the things that they argue in their documentary, which is called The Last Defense,
00:07:43.360
is that the banana should have been tested for DNA back in 1999. It was tested for DNA in around 2017,
00:07:50.980
2018. And despite what the defense claimed about Jones never wearing bandanas and having nothing to do
00:07:56.200
with this crime, the DNA actually did match Julius Jones, which should have confirmed the verdict
00:08:01.200
and ended all this. But it didn't. And they continue. They just don't even talk about the
00:08:07.040
bandana anymore. It's one of the most amazing things. That's what I was going to say. What do
00:08:10.260
they say when DNA evidence proved that it was his bandana or that he had been wearing the bandana,
00:08:16.240
at least at some point? What did the defense argue? So they have two strategies or they had two
00:08:23.400
strategies. The first was to ignore the existence of the bandana. So if you look at any of the
00:08:28.760
Innocence Project propaganda, it always starts with Julius Jones maintains his innocence, which is
00:08:33.820
like, OK, the guy says he didn't do it. The DNA says he did. But Julius says he didn't.
00:08:39.780
And they don't bring it up. And then when you push them on the bandana, they start playing games
00:08:45.600
with their like, oh, well, that was the major profile. There's these minor profiles that are
00:08:49.920
DNA science. Could not like it could only detect was human. Like it couldn't detect who it was.
00:08:55.900
And they'll make the case that that could have been the actual real killer on some of the minor
00:09:00.940
profiles there. But it's like it's it's nonsensical because Jones claimed. And as recently as in his
00:09:07.940
pardon and parole hearing that he didn't even wear any bandanas at the time of the shooting.
00:09:13.320
So the fact that he's the major contributor is like to me, that locks it up for him.
00:09:18.360
Also, is the type of DNA that you couldn't test for back in 1999, which means that Chris
00:09:23.560
Jordan, his his very his lacking in intelligence co-defendant could not have planted this type
00:09:30.300
of DNA. It's like contact DNA, like touch DNA, let alone removed it because DNA scientists
00:09:36.180
didn't know this existed in 99. But it's not just that there's like eyewitnesses that saw
00:09:41.300
Jordan and Jones 15 minutes before the murder. And these are like independent eyewitnesses.
00:09:46.220
There are witnesses that saw him like 30 minutes after the murder. He's seen on surveillance
00:09:51.200
dumping the car. Like there's a bunch of different things that would lead us to believe that Jones
00:09:56.140
is guilty. And yet the campaign just progresses.
00:09:59.720
Now, does the Innocence Project maintain that it was actually Jordan who committed this crime?
00:10:08.960
OK. And is that how they say, well, that's you know, do they say that Jordan somehow framed
00:10:16.000
Julius Jones? Is that the is that the argument?
00:10:19.220
Yeah. So in in the documentary, they make the case that Christopher Jordan planted the bandana
00:10:24.880
and the firearm in Julius Jones's bedroom because they spent the night together.
00:10:29.200
But the thing is, is, again, he would not have been able to plant and remove his own DNA from
00:10:36.620
So Jordan's DNA was not found at all on the bandana.
00:10:39.320
No, he was he was excluded as a contributor. And the match for Julius Jones, the other trick
00:10:44.660
that they'll use is to say that Jones didn't his DNA wasn't technically a match because,
00:10:52.280
you know, DNA nerds like the scientists don't actually say match.
00:10:55.800
They give you odds of whether or not it could be somebody else. Right.
00:10:59.300
And they'll say the odds of another African-American contributing to the sample besides Julius Jones
00:11:05.120
are one in one hundred and ten million in the African-American population.
00:11:09.640
In 1999, the the African-American population was thirty five million people.
00:11:14.100
So you would need something like four times the African-American population and for the real
00:11:19.060
killer, quote unquote, to have access to Julius Jones's bedroom to plant it.
00:11:23.080
So it's statistically ridiculous. But they'll harp on like little things like that.
00:11:27.420
And they'll say, oh, the DNA wasn't technically a match because the lab doesn't use the term
00:11:31.760
match. But for all intents and purposes, it's a match.
00:11:38.500
I want to go through some of what the Innocence Project is positing, because if you just listen
00:11:47.440
And then I think the natural question is, well, then why?
00:11:53.480
If it is so clear, if there seems to be some video evidence, at least of what happened after,
00:11:58.440
if there is DNA evidence, why even try to raise any contention about this verdict?
00:12:04.320
So here's what the Innocence Project says on their Web site.
00:12:10.100
Maybe not to all of them, because there's a lot of contingents.
00:12:12.380
But they say that Julius Jones was at home having dinner with his parents and sister at
00:12:16.160
the time of the murder and that his legal team failed to present his alibi at his original
00:12:21.780
trial. His trial attorneys did not call Mr. Jones or his family to the stand.
00:12:27.700
So what do you have to say about his alibi and perhaps why his defense attorneys didn't
00:12:35.700
So so so the this alibi is the alibi that I call the big cookie alibi, because it basically
00:12:44.460
They say that he was at home eating spaghetti at nine o'clock playing Monopoly and they were
00:12:50.860
So his attorneys, one of which I've spoken to, David McKenzie, actually signed a sworn statement
00:12:56.340
and his other attorney did as well, that Jones told them independently that he was not home
00:13:02.280
On top of that, they tried to produce an independent witness, a woman called Brenda Cujo, to back
00:13:08.340
up this alibi because they were like, she's you know, they're not going to believe just
00:13:12.500
the family, especially against all the other evidence.
00:13:17.280
She had like impeccable credibility in terms of the court of law.
00:13:20.340
So she told the investigators for the Jones defense team that she went to Kinkos before
00:13:27.280
So they asked her if she had anything to verify that she produced a receipt dating
00:13:31.860
her trip to Kinkos, thus dating the alibi to the day before the murder, not just the
00:13:37.780
On top of that, I was recently sent an article from August.
00:13:41.620
So let me let me just reemphasize what you're saying.
00:13:44.240
So there was a teacher who says that she went to the celebration of Julius Jones's birthday
00:13:49.620
at his house, right, who had that incredible credibility.
00:13:54.160
And she said she remembers this because she went to Kinkos before the celebration.
00:13:58.120
She produced a receipt from her trip to Kinkos.
00:14:01.460
But the date of that receipt, it was before the day that Paul Howell was shot and killed,
00:14:07.180
which means that if we're to trust her alibi, that the celebration that his family and Julius
00:14:14.400
Jones is saying is his alibi, because that was, you know, allegedly where he was when
00:14:21.280
That actually happened before the day before Paul Howell was shot.
00:14:28.740
And it's even worse because I was recently sent an article from the Oklahoman from August
00:14:34.420
1st of 1999, which is just three days after the murder.
00:14:38.360
This is when it would be the freshest in the Jones family's minds.
00:14:42.140
And in that version of the alibi, because there's four different versions of the alibi,
00:14:46.640
they actually say that Christopher Jordan, the person they accuse of being the shooter
00:14:53.400
So it was an alibi for both people at the time of the murder, which is something that
00:15:00.080
And according to their theory of defense, is not possible because they claim that Jordan
00:15:05.420
was the shooter and Jones had nothing to do with anything.
00:15:08.160
So they've been lying and changing up this alibi all the way through.
00:15:12.540
The attorneys for Jones signed sworn statements saying that they knew that this alibi was false.
00:15:18.060
Their independent witness not only said and produced a receipt showing that it's false,
00:15:22.140
but she also claimed that she was threatened by the Jones family for coming out against the
00:15:42.500
But the Innocence Project would say Mr. Jones did not match the description of the person
00:15:46.900
who committed the crime, which was provided by a sole witness.
00:15:53.120
Howell was described as having one to two inches of hair, I think, outside of the cap that they
00:16:04.260
So how do you how do you respond to something like that?
00:16:09.180
So what they're talking about is Megan Tobey's description of Julius Jones.
00:16:13.060
That's the sister of Paul Howell, who is sitting in the passenger seat.
00:16:17.200
And you could just ask her what she said or read the court's transcripts.
00:16:23.340
The person they're saying committed the crime is Christopher Westside Jordan.
00:16:27.480
He had cornrows, like long hair that are that are braided.
00:16:31.280
So they asked at trial, because this was the theory of defense at trial, if what she was
00:16:37.060
talking about when she was describing the hair was cornrows or braids.
00:16:40.680
She specifically said she did not see cornrows or braids at trial.
00:16:45.080
When she talks about the hair, she's talking about a stocking cap that goes over the eyebrows
00:16:50.600
And if you listen to her description or read it at trial, she says that the hair that she's
00:16:55.200
talking about is the inch or half an inch in and around where the ear connects to the
00:17:00.400
And she's talking about the space between that hair and the stocking cap.
00:17:12.440
Megan Tobey did an interview in early October where they asked her specifically about her
00:17:19.200
Megan Tobey also went to both the clemency and the pardon and parole board hearing for
00:17:25.720
And even though this is like the big thing for their defense and the members of the pardon
00:17:29.940
and the parole board are in the tank for Julius Jones and they could have asked her questions
00:17:34.380
about her description, they didn't ask one question after she brought up this highly contested
00:17:40.020
fact because people aren't really interested in the facts of the case.
00:17:44.080
They're just interested in glomming on to whatever little pieces of whatever they could find
00:17:48.980
in the transcript out of context to make the case for innocence.
00:17:53.320
And what do you say to the contention that three people incarcerated with Mr. Jordan at
00:18:05.920
different times have said in sworn affidavits that Mr. Jordan told each of them that he committed
00:18:10.880
the murder and that he actually framed Mr. Jones.
00:18:14.620
None of these three men, the Innocence Project says, have met Mr. Jones and they do not know
00:18:20.540
None of them have been offered a shorter sentence or incentive in exchange for disclosing Mr.
00:18:26.000
Well, jailhouse confessions often come up in high profile cases and the character and credibility
00:18:34.800
of these witnesses are in question, to say the least.
00:18:41.480
He murdered a child, his stepchild or his girlfriend's child, by pouring scalding hot water.
00:18:52.400
Well, you might not want to listen to this episode with kids, but especially this description.
00:18:57.580
He poured scalding hot water on on his girlfriend's child's genitals.
00:19:03.800
He's also been adjudicated a sociopath, a pathological liar.
00:19:07.620
And you'll see this pattern over and over again with the people that Jones's attorneys would
00:19:13.280
On top of that, this is very depressing for everybody out there.
00:19:16.700
When people come out in support of Julius Jones in prison, no matter how bad their story is,
00:19:22.460
no matter how loose their connection with Christopher Jordan is, their prison commissary
00:19:29.520
So there is an incentive to lie for Christopher Jordan.
00:19:33.120
And there are confessions from Julius Jones that were never brought up against him in trial
00:19:39.300
because they were adjudicated to be uncredible, even though they supported the prosecution's
00:19:45.540
So the idea that there's confessions here and there, like these jailhouse confessions,
00:19:53.200
There's one that was recent that wasn't adjudicated.
00:19:55.960
But again, it's another situation with a pathological lie or a history of crimes of dishonesty that they
00:20:02.000
don't add anything new that's not in the headlines to the case.
00:20:08.320
Unlike one of the confessions that Jones gave, where he described a girl waving to him in
00:20:13.740
the backseat of the vehicle, which was in that description from somebody who said Jones
00:20:21.140
And it was given to the police by Rachel Howe, which is the daughter of Paul Howe at the time.
00:20:26.940
So there's no connecting information from any of these confessions that give us anything
00:20:32.300
So you're saying that the pathological liar was one of the three people incarcerated who
00:20:37.160
apparently signed a sworn affidavit saying that Mr. Jordan confessed to committing the
00:20:44.920
All three of them have been either adjudicated with some kind of mental or sociopathic disorder,
00:20:49.980
and multiple of them have been adjudicated as like pathological liars, like they have
00:20:57.720
One of them actually had a personal vendetta against Julius Jones's prosecuting attorney.
00:21:02.700
But there's like different things that you can go through all of them.
00:21:07.480
And maybe it's not a miracle because these are people coming out for attention that they've
00:21:11.560
been adjudicated in such a way with all these different, I don't want, I don't know if
00:21:16.120
disability is the correct word, but all these different mental issues.
00:21:19.220
Yeah, does Mr. Jordan have mental disabilities that are, have been cited?
00:21:29.620
You mentioned that he, you mentioned that he was an unintelligent co-defendant.
00:21:35.440
I didn't know if you were implying that he has some kind of cognitive disability.
00:21:40.420
No, when they claim that Christopher Jordan, who was 19 years old, uneducated, that he
00:21:46.580
planted DNA not known to exist in 1999 with one day's notice, that's when I'm making fun
00:21:56.160
So you're saying that we can't really rely on these sworn affidavits from the people who
00:22:00.780
apparently said that Mr. Jordan said that he committed the murder.
00:22:06.340
Now, they also contend that in exchange for testifying that Mr. Jones was the shooter,
00:22:13.460
Mr. Jordan was given a plea deal for his alleged role as the getaway driver.
00:22:18.500
He served 15 years in prison and today is free.
00:22:24.220
So he is free and he did testify against Julius Jones and he did get a plea deal.
00:22:31.340
He actually got 30 years with a life sentence on top of it.
00:22:36.000
So it was a full life sentence with 30 years suspended.
00:22:40.000
And this is because in the state of Oklahoma, like many other states, if you participate
00:22:43.760
in the underlying felony and somebody dies, you can be charged with felony murder.
00:22:50.180
So Christopher Jordan was facing the death penalty, which, by the way, is a key point because
00:22:55.340
one of the jailhouse confessors has Jones as the driver, which would have made him guilty
00:23:00.640
of felony murder, which would have made him up for the death penalty anyway, which is one
00:23:04.520
of the reasons why they didn't present that at trial.
00:23:07.360
So Joe Jordan did plead guilty and he did testify against Julius Jones.
00:23:13.280
But the idea that he got 15 years, that's not really true.
00:23:17.920
And then after the fact, the Department of Corrections in Oklahoma changed how they calculate their
00:23:26.960
So what the Innocence Project often alleges is that there was a secret deal between the
00:23:32.240
district attorney and the and the Jordan camp, and it was not disclosed well enough to the
00:23:38.060
Therefore, they didn't know how to treat the testimony.
00:23:40.680
But the thing is, is that if you read the transcripts, Jordan's testimony was not key.
00:23:45.820
The testimony from people like Megan Tobey or Julius Jones's own girlfriend were far more
00:23:54.400
And in the state of Oklahoma, everything the co-defendant says has to be verified by a third
00:24:00.080
So like everything Jordan would have brought to the table had to be verified by somebody
00:24:07.200
And what's interesting as well, and as you describe the the alleged cover up and framing
00:24:16.560
and collusion between Mr. Jordan and the defense, I am thinking about the fact that the Innocence
00:24:27.840
Project obviously says that the verdict was based on racial bias.
00:24:32.180
They talk about the fact that Mr. Howell was a white man.
00:24:35.120
This happened in a predominantly white neighborhood.
00:24:37.720
District attorney Bob Macy, who I'm guessing is white.
00:24:44.880
Eleven out of the 12 jurors in Mr. Jones's trial were white, which, by the way, is not
00:24:51.360
The jury is chosen based on the population of, you know, where the crime took place and where
00:25:03.060
But in order to claim that in order to claim that you also have to you have to claim, I
00:25:11.160
don't know, that it would also be racist against Mr. Jordan, who was also black.
00:25:15.460
So it confuses me that they think that the prosecution I think I said the defense earlier,
00:25:20.360
the process of the prosecution they're saying colluded with Mr. Jordan.
00:25:25.960
OK, so the same prosecution that they are saying racist are racist colluded with Christopher
00:25:39.580
And I guess I'm just failing to understand how then the prosecution is racist, because
00:25:45.720
either way they would have been trying to convict a black man.
00:25:48.580
So can you help me unpack their argument there that this has something to do with, I guess,
00:25:54.100
white supremacy when the person that they are saying actually committed the crime is also
00:25:58.040
black and would have gotten the death penalty if he had been found guilty of murder?
00:26:02.660
I mean, I call this the and I apologize for the vulgarity in this statement, but I call this
00:26:08.640
like the farting in a room effect is if you just fart in a room and then people smell it,
00:26:15.760
But it's not really key to what's going on everywhere else in the room.
00:26:19.960
So the all the allegations of racism in this case are are pretty ridiculous.
00:26:24.880
They they allege that even portraying a black man as coming into a white neighborhood like
00:26:34.180
This is actually in the documentary for Julius Jones's defense, which is produced by the
00:26:39.500
Innocence Project and is presented as something more neutral than it actually is as as as a
00:26:47.340
But again, the as you pointed out, the the defense's theory of the case is that it was
00:26:53.540
not Julius Jones, but the other black guy involved, Christopher Jordan, who came into the white
00:26:59.680
neighborhood and shot Paul Howell and killed him like their arguments for the death penalty
00:27:04.560
They'll claim that even pursuing the death penalty in this case, I'm sorry, their arguments
00:27:11.140
They'll claim that even pursuing the death penalty in this case is a mark of racism against the
00:27:20.380
If it was an all white jury, they'd say all white jury.
00:27:23.140
But again, Edmund was 85 percent white as they lay out in their own like little hit piece
00:27:28.740
And I find it incredibly disgusting that somebody can come into your community and murder a member
00:27:36.340
And then your community goes on trial as being evil and racist, because apparently in the
00:27:43.400
1960s, people moved there to get away from crime in the city.
00:27:47.660
And that was somehow code for for moving away from black people.
00:27:56.780
They if something that they don't like happens in the present, then they say, well, this is
00:28:02.180
connected to something that happened 50 years ago without actually logically or factually
00:28:09.220
Of course, that's the whole thing with the 1619 project, this unbroken legacy of slavery
00:28:14.320
that they say, you know, leads to every disparity between white and black Americans today.
00:28:19.560
Thomas Sowell has completely has completely busted that myth.
00:28:25.800
They're saying, well, this case obviously was tried and decided upon based on racial animus
00:28:34.540
because of this thing that happened in Oklahoma in the 1960s.
00:28:38.220
And so this is their version of justice, which is it's completely unjust because you're basically
00:28:44.320
punishing people who did nothing wrong by exoriating them, like he just said in the press
00:28:49.560
for being too white, being white supremacist and also taking justice away from Paul Howell's
00:28:59.100
And and again, like the how family, the more you learn about them, the more this story
00:29:04.780
And like, that's why I've done so many videos on it, because like they have not had this
00:29:12.760
These people advocate for them in the way that the other side has.
00:29:17.320
I always talk about how they had something like 400 followers on Facebook at the time
00:29:24.060
And Kim Kardashian is on the other side of this.
00:29:26.680
She has three thirty nine million followers on Twitter, something like that.
00:29:31.460
All these different celebrities, Baker Mayfield, like athletes are in this and they all just
00:29:36.160
paint this propaganda of Julius Jones being this great student at Oklahoma University.
00:29:44.440
He never played for any OU team and everything that apparently, according to them, ruined
00:29:53.380
When in reality, if you look at his criminal record, if you look at his pawn receipts, if
00:29:57.120
you listen to his own girlfriend who he threatened when her testimony was so damning for him at
00:30:02.860
trial, like in letters, he threatened this woman.
00:30:10.440
He destroyed Paul Howe's life and his family's lives.
00:30:12.960
This has nothing to do with white flight in 1965.
00:30:19.740
It's about a family that lost their father and had to witness that loss.
00:30:27.380
I want to get into how this starts, like how does this start to snowball with something
00:30:32.980
But I first want to ask you, you mentioned his girlfriend's testimony.
00:30:38.540
So, so Julius Jones contends consistently that he had no serious criminal record and the
00:30:44.840
Innocence Project, you'll, you might see that he was never convicted of anything violent
00:30:50.140
It's because they convicted at the time of his arrest.
00:30:52.380
It's because they convicted him after the fact.
00:30:54.480
So what his girlfriend does is essentially tie him to a bunch of jewelry store robberies where
00:31:00.700
Jones wore the suspect in that case, which was Jones, wore bandanas, stocking caps, et
00:31:06.040
cetera, by pointing out to the court that she discovered the gun that Julius Jones used in
00:31:16.280
And Jones claimed that he did in fact have the, that that gun was him, that gun belonged
00:31:23.360
So she also, she also ties them to the jewelry store robberies because Jones gave her four
00:31:29.140
chains from one of the robberies and he took back three immediately.
00:31:32.860
And there's three specific pawn receipts that coincide with that date.
00:31:37.720
And he left her with one and then he took back the one on a later date.
00:31:41.260
And there's a pawn receipt that coincides with that in Julius Jones's name.
00:31:45.560
So her testimony out of all the different testimonies that were put forward is one of
00:31:49.920
the most devastating, which is one of the reasons why Julius Jones actually sent her
00:31:53.440
threatening letters throughout the course of the trial.
00:31:56.140
And the innocence project was making the case that these letters didn't exist, that the
00:32:00.420
prosecution just made them up, which is ridiculous.
00:32:03.360
And in Jones's clemency hearing, Jones admitted to sending these letters because Jones never
00:32:08.980
testified up until this very like recent hearing.
00:32:12.880
So they just lie consistently, but they can't really get around the fact that Julius Jones's
00:32:19.040
girlfriend who had every reason to lie for him produced probably absent Megan Tobey, the
00:32:29.040
And remind everyone where you get this information.
00:32:32.980
Like, how do you read in and garner all of these facts that seem to be lost on those people
00:32:39.080
Well, I've actually had the entire trial transcripts sent to me.
00:32:42.160
They are available, but Oklahoma has like an older system.
00:32:45.660
So you have to request them in person or have somebody request them in person for you.
00:32:51.860
So all I need is somebody to go to Oklahoma on my behalf and send me the whole transcript
00:32:59.040
But also the prosecution puts out like bullet points for this, like Prater, he'll put out
00:33:05.080
his whole theory of the case and they'll go in and dispute every single aspect of Julius
00:33:13.760
I link to it under every single one of my videos on the case because it's about 12 pages.
00:33:19.000
And all you would have to do is be willing and interested and knowledgeable that there is
00:33:24.180
another side to a case like the Julius Jones case.
00:33:29.980
One of the things that we I've discovered is that people and not just far leftists,
00:33:35.500
unfortunately, don't even consider that another side of this case exists, which is ridiculous.
00:33:42.160
Well, people don't want to consider that because the last thing, of course, that you want to
00:33:48.320
But the last thing that people want to be called is some kind of racist spigot that is just,
00:33:52.740
you know, bloodthirsty and wanting an innocent man to walk to his death.
00:33:56.160
And plus, I think a lot of people think, well, this doesn't really affect me.
00:33:59.280
It doesn't affect me that this person isn't getting the death penalty or maybe they're
00:34:04.420
So they don't really care about the facts of the case.
00:34:06.320
So they're like, well, he's not getting the death penalty.
00:34:09.180
And they don't really care about the truth because it puts them in this uncomfortable
00:34:12.440
position of being against the Kim Kardashians, even being against a lot of people.
00:34:18.300
A lot of people in the church who are saying, yes, this is justice.
00:34:23.380
You don't want to be the lone voice to raise your hand and say, well, actually, the facts
00:34:27.440
don't point to the conclusion that people like the Innocence Project are asserting.
00:34:43.760
And like, who scouts them out and says, you know what?
00:34:49.920
I'm going to, you know, make a documentary about this person and get Kim Kardashian and
00:34:55.800
So this becomes this big PR effort towards this person so that there seems like there
00:35:03.960
Tell us a little bit if you know about the Innocence Project and what their process is.
00:35:09.280
Well, the Innocence Project, I can't tell you about the inner workings of of their organization.
00:35:15.880
But what I can tell you is that one of the founders of the Innocence Project, and I forget
00:35:20.600
which attorney it was, and I apologize for not knowing the name offhand, was one of OJ
00:35:27.280
So like that's that was the impetus for this person starting the Innocence Project.
00:35:31.880
Now, if you know anything about the OJ Simpson case, he's 100 percent guilty.
00:35:36.800
So from its inception, the Innocence Project is all about getting guilty people off for
00:35:42.600
But what they really are as an organization fundamentally is an anti-death penalty organization.
00:35:48.320
But what one of the things that they found out through their time working these cases is
00:35:53.520
that arguing against the morality of the death penalty isn't as effective as making the
00:35:58.640
case that there's all these innocent people that are on death row that shouldn't be executed.
00:36:03.820
So they've kind of shifted focus in their advocacy.
00:36:10.560
So these cases a lot ideologically are about opposition to the death penalty.
00:36:14.460
And that's one of the reasons why you can watch attorneys and these documentary films just
00:36:20.020
skew so much information and leave so much out that you could never get away within a court
00:36:26.820
It's not about actually proving somebody innocent like the Jones clemency push was never about
00:36:34.280
It was about just getting enough signatures, getting enough people hyped on that side in
00:36:43.840
And so they just get people like Viola Davis and Kim Kardashian on board by saying, look at
00:36:48.820
this innocent black man who is a victim of our white supremacist system.
00:36:52.680
And we need your voice to basically amplify his innocence.
00:36:56.940
And for most people who don't spend a lot of time reading the transcripts like you do,
00:37:01.200
I mean, you know, like I said, they're not going to go up against those kinds of voices.
00:37:08.040
And I mean, I am for obviously the exoneration of people who are innocent or who are not guilty
00:37:18.040
I don't want someone, gosh, to be executed or spend the rest of his or her life in prison
00:37:23.180
who didn't commit a crime that they were put in jail for.
00:37:27.920
What I am not for is the propaganda effort that purposely leaves out facts in order to
00:37:33.220
stir people's emotion and removes from people seemingly their mental faculties, their ability
00:37:40.580
to think logically and use reasoning and actually sift through real facts.
00:37:47.120
I'm not for the propaganda effort that seems to be behind this because justice is not going
00:38:00.940
And I do want to make the point that that's the Innocence Project is overall like an anti-death
00:38:07.580
But the Kim Kardashian and these other celebrities, part of the reason and by the way, Kim Kardashian
00:38:12.120
is connected to the Innocence Project because her father's Robert Kardashian.
00:38:15.660
And he was a great friend of OJ and he actually helped recommend and assemble the Dream Team
00:38:25.120
But the celebrity push is a lot about like they've taken it a step further because not
00:38:30.680
only the anti-death penalty, but they're specifically anti and this looks like it's one of the parameters
00:38:36.160
that they pick for these cases is anti-black people getting convicted or the death penalty
00:38:43.800
Like if you look at the cases that Kim Kardashian has highlighted specifically, like this appears
00:38:50.480
So whether they whether they frame somebody or try to paint it as as they're innocent in
00:38:55.480
the way that the Jones team did, where they point to somebody who's already been tried
00:39:00.180
and convicted in relation to the crime, therefore they can't be tried again.
00:39:03.740
Or they're trying to frame other people that have nothing to do with this.
00:39:08.800
And there's other cases out there and I would be remiss if I didn't mention the fact that
00:39:13.960
Kim Kardashian also appears to be hiring, not highlighting not only cases where black
00:39:19.760
people kill white people, but cases where the black person has an alliterated name.
00:39:26.440
Julius Jones, Rodney Reed, Crystal Kaiser, Brendan Bernard.
00:39:45.540
It's because you think it's easier for the public to it rolls off your tongue better.
00:39:51.120
I mean, I hate that sounds so cynical and evil, but I mean, we're talking about a propaganda
00:39:57.620
I'm not saying all just because I don't know the details of all of the cases of the people
00:40:02.560
But I mean, there are a lot of people on death row.
00:40:05.960
And so the fact that a lot of a lot of the people that she is choosing apparently have these
00:40:12.400
alliterations in their names, it seems like that could be because it rolls off the tongue
00:40:18.880
better, it's easier to remember, and that would be a public relations win, right?
00:40:25.500
But I also think that Kim Kardashian, obviously, the Kardashian family is kind of obsessed with
00:40:31.380
Like, that's why they're all named KK and all that.
00:40:34.320
So I do think there's like just a dumb, childish element to it.
00:40:38.580
And like, I don't want to get too conspiratorial or anything with the reason behind it.
00:40:42.260
But so I'm just going to say it's a dumb, childish element to it.
00:40:45.140
Because it's really weird that you found 10 or so people that are all black people that
00:40:51.420
killed white people all have rock solid cases, by the way, like a lot of them, like the DNA
00:40:56.180
tested in Julius Jones, they have requested DNA testing, which, by the way, I 100% agree
00:41:01.740
If we didn't have the science to determine whether or not your DNA was on something back
00:41:06.520
in the day and you on appeal want that tested, I'm in support of that for sure.
00:41:12.060
But when the DNA matches the person that was convicted, like you should drop the case.
00:41:17.380
So a lot of them have that pattern along with it.
00:41:19.580
But yeah, the alliteration, maybe it's a marketing thing.
00:41:23.460
Maybe it's just something that makes Kim Kardashian feel connected to it.
00:41:27.380
But it is noticeable, especially when you get to this many cases that this is a pattern
00:41:32.260
for her specifically and her involvement in this.
00:41:35.460
The Innocence Project should just be honest that they're anti-death penalty.
00:41:38.980
But I understand why they're not, because like you said, if you say, hey, we know that
00:41:44.680
this person, I'm not even talking about Julius Jones, Brandon Bernard, whoever, we know that
00:41:52.560
I think that there was someone who was executed last year, federally executed for a brutal
00:41:59.060
He brutally murdered his like two-year-old daughter in the front seat of his truck.
00:42:04.560
If you say that, like if you describe to people what these people actually did or what was
00:42:11.180
proven against them beyond a reasonable doubt, people are less likely to say that they shouldn't
00:42:17.020
I mean, in theory, people are against the death penalty.
00:42:19.740
But when you read people, the terrible crimes that were allegedly committed by a lot of these
00:42:25.320
people, they say, OK, I might be against the death penalty, but I don't really care if
00:42:30.820
And so it's a lot more persuasive for the Innocence Project to say, not only are we against
00:42:37.500
the death penalty, but this person didn't even commit the crime.
00:42:40.140
That is not palatable, understandably, for most people to have a possibly innocent man
00:42:52.240
If you're just against the death penalty, just be against the death penalty.
00:42:55.200
Like Julius Jones is going to still spend the rest of his life in prison, right?
00:42:58.100
Yeah, I mean, hopefully there's always a chance that you can get out of prison, even though
00:43:05.240
Oklahoma has a weird quirk in their constitution that once the governor gets clemency once,
00:43:10.940
it's basically impossible, according to their current constitution, for you to get out in
00:43:16.140
But I'm of the belief that there's no such thing as life without parole.
00:43:19.780
Eventually, a lot of these people will get out, whether they become elderly and they can't
00:43:29.480
The the push for claiming that these people are innocent is all about practicality and
00:43:35.060
undermining the institution that is the death penalty, because most Americans are still in
00:43:39.620
favor of the death penalty, especially when you give them specific cases and details related
00:43:44.820
So but Americans have pause and they should have pause when we're discussing somebody potentially
00:43:53.120
So that's why they frame all these stories as like, oh, racial bias led to this innocent
00:44:00.900
And there's a feeling that if they can get enough people on death row, reduce sentence, which
00:44:05.900
they always call exonerations, which we could talk about their how they pad the numbers of
00:44:12.060
But they they they get all these people reduced.
00:44:15.680
And the idea is to create enough doubt in the American population's mind with how our
00:44:20.460
justice system works so that they can undermine the death penalty, because most people, if
00:44:25.060
you ask them, is the death penalty worth it if you execute innocent, people will say no.
00:44:30.060
So that's why they're trying to artificially boost the number of innocent people on death
00:44:34.560
So, yeah, which, you know, I think that there are there's a political there, practical cases
00:44:43.240
I don't I don't hear that's not necessarily your contention with this whole thing.
00:44:47.260
It's the propaganda behind whether or not he is innocent.
00:44:50.820
And I do think that the governor of Oklahoma, his his choice to say, OK, he's not going to
00:44:56.780
get the death penalty does seem to add fuel to their to their fire, because he's not just
00:45:02.220
saying, OK, we're against the death penalty in Oklahoma.
00:45:04.160
He's saying that this guy is probably innocent.
00:45:08.160
And it's just interesting how I mean, propaganda really can change policy.
00:45:13.940
It can change the course of someone's life because people, like I said, they just don't
00:45:19.840
have the effort or the energy rather to push back against it, because who wants to be against
00:45:25.560
this mammoth movement of exonerating people who are on death row?
00:45:35.340
I will say just really quickly, and I'm sorry for for interrupting, but that's fine.
00:45:40.100
Governor Kevin Stitt did affirm Julius Jones's guilt in his commutation of Julius Jones.
00:45:45.960
And that's why he put in his parameters that Jones can never seek any more of these hearings
00:45:53.100
He has to be removed, removed from death row and put in general population like a normal
00:45:57.600
What was his reasoning for what was his reasoning for taking the death penalty off the table
00:46:03.200
I mean, he was lobbied heavily, not just by lefties and but by some conservatives.
00:46:08.560
There's rumors from according to Julius Jones's original lawyer at trial, who I spoke to the
00:46:15.040
day that they got clemency, David McKenzie, that the that Kim Kardashian contacted former
00:46:20.980
President Trump and former President Trump or one of his advisors asked for the commutation
00:46:26.900
So there's people who are generally right about this.
00:46:30.140
Trump resumed federal executions that can be swept up in these propaganda campaigns.
00:46:35.120
I just think they put so much pressure that Kevin Stitt went for a compromise.
00:46:39.000
But the compromise, because of the way Oklahoma's constitution works, is a compromise that's 90 percent
00:46:45.020
in favor of the Jones is guilty side and 10 percent in favor of the Innocence Project side, because
00:46:50.820
the way Oklahoma has laid it out, he's basically going to be more disadvantaged now than he was
00:46:59.100
And, you know, that sucks for people who are on death row and they don't have an alliteration
00:47:05.760
for their name and they don't get the attention of Kim Kardashian, who may be the same case could
00:47:11.140
be made for them, that they don't deserve to die, but they're not going to get the favor
00:47:16.580
of the Oklahoma governor, who says that he did this by prayer, by the way, not because
00:47:22.420
I guess in his prayer, he didn't he didn't feel led by the spirit to commute the sentences
00:47:31.840
And so was it Kim Kardashian and Trump or was it God?
00:47:36.940
But that seems a little bit that doesn't seem like justice because it seems unfair.
00:47:41.620
It seems like he is getting favorable treatment simply because he had Viola Davis and a, you
00:47:51.960
OK, I want to talk about just we don't have very much time, but I haven't talked about yet
00:47:57.420
because I took a couple of weeks off for Thanksgiving.
00:48:02.940
You already know this, but for people who didn't know, who don't know, he's 39 years
00:48:07.740
He drove a red SUV through a Christmas parade and he killed six people, including eight
00:48:15.040
He also seriously injured his 12 year old brother.
00:48:22.800
He actually recently tried to he's charged with running over his girlfriend with the same
00:48:28.200
red SUV that he used to plow through this Christmas parade.
00:48:32.360
He was let out on a thousand dollar bail after he was charged with that crime.
00:48:37.940
They're now, of course, saying that that was inappropriately low.
00:48:41.260
But that's a pattern throughout the country of criminals being released on low bail and
00:48:47.940
then going out and murdering or committing some kind of act of violence.
00:48:53.220
And really, the thing that I think is stunning about this is not just that that piece is stunning
00:48:58.840
that he was released on a thousand dollar bail.
00:49:00.780
But how the media is describing this, CNN said that they tweeted on November 28th that
00:49:08.580
it has been one week since a car drove through a city Christmas parade.
00:49:12.660
The Washington Post tweeted on November 24th that there was a Waukesha tragedy caused by an
00:49:21.080
And then there was it's not on my sheet, but there was another CNN tweet that also said
00:49:28.900
So you've even got celebrities like Deborah Messing saying this wasn't this was not an
00:49:34.660
It was a domestic terror attack, which I happen to agree for the first time, perhaps with
00:49:42.380
Why is the media covering this the way that it is?
00:49:48.020
I mean, I think the guy's going to be convicted.
00:49:51.300
So in that sense, the victims will receive justice.
00:49:54.260
I don't want to, you know, the guy the guy's basically on video driving his SUV that appears
00:49:59.940
in his music videos through through this crowd committing this crime.
00:50:04.200
So like whatever amount of justice our system can deliver in the state of Wisconsin, he should
00:50:09.020
But I just want to point out that there is no known motive at all.
00:50:12.760
And you shouldn't look at any of his social media posts.
00:50:15.960
And we should talk about these these fully automatic assault SUVs, right?
00:50:23.740
And they just take off and on their own, they just attack crowds.
00:50:29.160
But yeah, the while we don't actually know the motive and we can speculate on the motive,
00:50:35.660
Hopefully he doesn't plea out and we actually can see what he has to say at trial, because
00:50:41.060
I do want to know what the motive is behind this.
00:50:42.940
What we do know for sure is that this soft bail kind of criminal justice reform where you just let
00:50:53.560
This guy attempted a serious aggravated assault against his girlfriend like a week and a half
00:51:03.220
And the district attorney for this area is one of these George Soros backed, Sean King
00:51:10.160
And I hate to I mean, I hate to invoke his name, but always when you see these kinds of
00:51:15.380
cases and you see this kind of history with the district attorney, like they're always
00:51:20.540
someone who was funded by George Soros every single time.
00:51:23.840
The same thing happens in Texas and Houston, in Austin and San Francisco, in L.A.
00:51:29.320
You look at all of these major cities where they're, you know, pretty new DAs, Chesa Boudin
00:51:39.320
And this this is part of the the social justice, criminal justice movements.
00:51:46.120
And it is fueled by their newfangled version of equity that they can't have too many people
00:51:56.380
There needs to be ways for them to be let out of prison.
00:52:01.380
They want to get rid of the bail system altogether.
00:52:03.920
We've seen the detrimental effects of that in places like New York City, obviously now in
00:52:12.180
And so, yeah, we're seeing this is just another effect of that.
00:52:17.260
And to your point about about the bail reform, it's actually New York State.
00:52:20.680
So the whole state, everybody gets out on everything, basically.
00:52:23.980
And a lot of people who backed New York State's bail reform law, they considered it a model
00:52:29.060
are now talking about how they wouldn't have that Daryl Brooks.
00:52:37.100
He committed a serious crime, assault, aggravated assault with the motor vehicle and all that.
00:52:41.600
The thing is, is that all these activists are full of you know what, because every crime
00:52:47.860
that Daryl Brooks committed in the state, if he would have committed them in the state
00:52:51.520
of New York under the new bail reform law that they champion that they say is a model would
00:52:56.940
have released him and he wouldn't have even had to pay the thousand dollars bail.
00:53:00.560
So aggravated assault with a vehicle in the state of New York, there's no bail for that
00:53:05.720
In fact, aggravated of aggravated manslaughter with the motor vehicle is something that you
00:53:13.360
You can't get bail for your past history of jumping bail, which is something that Daryl Brooks
00:53:17.840
had a history of doing not showing up for court and all that.
00:53:20.740
All the normal rational reasons why you would put a high bail on somebody are all banned
00:53:27.180
And this is the same like the D.A. in in in in Wisconsin.
00:53:36.580
The same people who supported him in in his pursuit of office supported the law in my state.
00:53:44.760
There's no way that any of these people are legitimate and serious.
00:53:48.820
They just see the consequences of the policies that they're advocating for, which, by the
00:53:53.900
way, when they were implemented by the district attorney in this area, he literally said, well,
00:53:58.600
we know for a fact that this is going to cause more people to die, but it's about like some
00:54:09.520
That seems like it's so much of Democratic policy that, you know, once we achieve this
00:54:15.600
grand vision of cosmic justice, it's, you know, it's the same thing with a lot of the
00:54:19.720
economic issues that we're seeing today that is going to accomplish in the end the kind
00:54:25.100
of society that progressives want or they think so anyway.
00:54:28.500
And so the lives that are lost or the livelihoods that are lost in the process, well, that's
00:54:32.840
just collateral damage and it's still going towards the greater good.
00:54:36.340
And so I'm afraid that a lot of so-called criminal justice advocates, which is or it's an Orwellian
00:54:42.120
name the same way that Ministry of Peace or Ministry of Truth is in 1984, they are OK with
00:54:50.260
the loss of life, with danger, with violence, with chaos in the meantime, because I guess
00:54:54.840
they think that having fewer people in jail will somehow lead to some form of utopia, which
00:55:05.660
I don't know how, though, they think that these means will lead to that end.
00:55:12.320
How will more violence like what we saw in Waukesha, how will more death and more robbery,
00:55:17.100
more looting and more murder lead to a more peaceful society that criminal justice advocates
00:55:22.480
say is worth the cost that we're seeing right now?
00:55:26.520
Well, when they're when they're not connect, when you're not connected to reality and you
00:55:30.500
don't have any idea how our institutions in our criminal justice system are built up, you
00:55:36.880
make absurd claims like the reason there's so much violent crime is because we give violent
00:55:46.760
So they actually legitimately believed that if you let these people on out on bail or you
00:55:53.420
don't let give them bail at all, you just release them on their own recognizance, even when they're
00:55:58.280
not they've shown repeatedly that they're not the kind of people who will even show up to
00:56:02.840
court, which is the whole point of having a cash incentive like bail, that they'll actually
00:56:07.640
behave better because what our criminal justice system does is harden all these criminals.
00:56:13.100
So they have when you when you have something so basic as cause and effect backwards, this
00:56:19.000
is the kind of policy that you end up advocating for.
00:56:21.660
And these are the kind of results that you would expect.
00:56:24.260
Like everybody, you I like the analogy of you see a fence in the middle of the woods and
00:56:35.580
You could tear down the fence and just wonder what happens.
00:56:38.660
Or you could try to discern its purpose before you act.
00:56:41.980
A lot of people on the far left tear it down immediately and then they find out that that's
00:56:46.780
the fence that cages in all the tigers and then they get tackled by tigers.
00:56:51.960
And yeah, people on both sides of the aisle, they're not going to tolerate this kind of
00:56:57.240
thing for long because human beings, it's just human nature.
00:57:03.780
We like to be able to leave our home and be able to rely on the fact that we'll be pretty
00:57:11.720
And so the progressive ideologues who think that most of the country is going to tolerate
00:57:18.260
this kind of violence and injustice, it just doesn't like we've already the history tells
00:57:24.220
If you look at the history of New York City, for example, how it was riddled with crime
00:57:27.520
in the 1970s, people didn't want to tolerate that.
00:57:30.440
And then you can see the reforms that were made because Rudy Giuliani was so tough on crime.
00:57:35.560
It became a place where people actually wanted to go.
00:57:40.500
Unfortunately, we don't know how many lives are going to be lost in the meantime because
00:57:44.340
of these DAs and other local officials that have been put in place.
00:57:47.940
There's so much there's so much more that I want to ask you.
00:57:50.300
We'll have to have you back on to talk about the criminal justice system or criminal justice
00:57:54.860
movement in general and our justice system, since you have such an extensive background
00:58:00.420
Can you tell everyone where they can find you, how they can follow you?
00:58:04.320
You can find me on YouTube dot com slash actual justice warrior.
00:58:08.340
That's where I primarily post all of my content.
00:58:10.760
I'm also on Twitter at I am Sean 90 spelled the traditional Irish way S E A N.
00:58:17.320
And I can be found on Instagram, new Instagram at actual justice.
00:58:21.560
I know that's not the best brand integration, but I actually have the same thing.
00:58:29.100
People can duck, duck, go you and they'll figure it out.
00:58:31.820
Thank you so much, Sean, for taking the time to come on.
00:58:36.520
And we'll provide the links to all that stuff in your previous videos on Julius Jones in the
