00:00:30.000 It's been four days now, and a duly sworn jury consisting of nine women and three men is unable

00:00:35.800 to decide whether murder is a crime in the state of Massachusetts. The judge dismissed the jury

00:00:41.720 this afternoon after they couldn't reach a verdict again, and although he's obligated to send them

00:00:46.280 back to reconsider and continue deliberations a couple of times, it seems unlikely they'll ever

00:00:51.540 reach a consensus. One juror, an older woman, was clearly frustrated at the judge's instruction to 0.86

00:00:56.300 go back to the jury room. Meanwhile, two younger female members of the jury reportedly smiled.

00:01:02.100 And to make matters worse, there's reason to believe that several of these members of the

00:01:06.140 jury, the ones who are clearly inclined to let Lindsay Clancy go free after she murdered her

00:01:10.720 three children, may see themselves as part of the larger deranged TikTok mob that gathers outside

00:01:16.760 the courthouse every day in support of women's constitutional right to do whatever they want

00:01:21.520 without suffering any consequences whatsoever, particularly if you ever bought into the lies 1.00

00:01:26.060 of feminism. It's one of the more depressing spectacles you'll ever see. A mass psychosis 1.00

00:01:31.500 rooted in narcissism. So pervasive it infects everything, even our juries. More than a million

00:01:38.060 dollars has been raised for this woman who executed her own kids. And it's enough to make you rethink

00:01:43.220 the Salem witch trials all these centuries later. Remind me, who are the villains in that story

00:01:47.720 again? Maybe that'd be a good topic for a real history episode sometime. I don't know. Until

00:01:52.840 then, here's a thought experiment, one that up until very recently in this country's history

00:01:57.400 would have been extremely straightforward and uncontroversial, albeit very disturbing at the

00:02:02.220 same time. So imagine that one day you wake up from a stupor to discover that while you were

00:02:10.100 not consciously aware, you had murdered all of your children. Now, this scenario is, of course,

00:02:16.340 morbidly absurd. The idea that a loving parent could one day just wake up to find out that

00:02:22.440 against their will they'd executed their whole family is preposterous, but this is the scenario 0.56

00:02:28.900 that Clancy's defense attorney and her legion of female groupies want us to imagine. They insist 0.64

00:02:35.920 that Clancy was indeed a loving mother, a good mother, who was driven by forces outside of her

00:02:41.480 control to systematically slaughter her children. They tell us that this could happen to any of us.

00:02:47.020 Now, there's ample and conclusive evidence that this scenario did not actually occur. It's clear

00:02:51.560 that Clancy intentionally murdered her children. There was no psychotic stupor. But for the sake

00:02:56.760 of argument, let's imagine that something like this kind of murderous days were to actually

00:03:03.620 happen. So put yourself, as impossible as it is, into this fictional nightmare scenario,

00:03:11.600 the one that the defense and Clancy's defenders want us to imagine. So put yourself there.

00:03:16.300 You've just killed your children through no conscious fault of your own. 0.98

00:03:21.060 Well, what do you do next? 0.98

00:03:23.740 Okay, let's go through this.

00:03:25.700 Here are a few steps you would immediately take without any doubt.

00:03:29.900 First, you try to revive your children, even if it's clearly a hopeless situation.

00:03:35.080 I mean, this would be the first inevitable step for any loving parent who suddenly regained

00:03:39.740 consciousness to find themselves in the middle of this kind of horrifying scene.

00:03:43.800 the first thing you do is you would rush to your children and, you know, try desperately to

00:03:49.280 revive them. Next, you would call the police and you would explain the urgency of the situation

00:03:55.540 to the 911 operator. That's a given. And then once you were confident that first responders

00:04:01.460 were on the way, you would do two things. One of two things. One possibility is that you would

00:04:09.400 either kill yourself with 10 times the rage and determination that your unconscious psychotic evil 1.00

00:04:15.560 self had used to kill your children, or you would remain alive to face justice. And when I say face 1.00

00:04:24.320 justice, I mean you would beg the court to give you the harshest possible penalty. You would forego

00:04:31.860 a trial entirely, not only because you wouldn't contest your guilt because you would know that

00:04:36.660 you did it, but also for the sake of sparing the spouse whose life you just ruined. You would not

00:04:43.980 drag your spouse and your family through a long, highly publicized trial, one where your spouse 1.00

00:04:50.080 would be demonized and become the target of conspiracy theories by hordes of retarded 1.00

00:04:54.420 feminist TikTok zombies. You would simply plead guilty and you would go to prison in shame and 0.99

00:05:01.320 repentance. No loving parent would even want to go on living a normal life out in society after

00:05:07.800 having done something like this. You wouldn't fight for your freedom. You wouldn't desire

00:05:12.880 freedom. You wouldn't desire anything but to just crawl into the darkest hole in the jail that they

00:05:20.320 can give you and just die as quickly as possible. Okay, a loving parent on the other side of a 0.98

00:05:28.060 catastrophe like this could not ever find joy or purpose in their life ever again. A loving parent

00:05:35.820 would hate themselves far more than any stranger could possibly hate them and desire to see

00:05:41.520 themselves punished far more than any of us could desire that. But Lindsay Clancy, strangely enough,

00:05:48.940 did not take any of these actions after she murdered her children.

00:05:52.320 on every point she did the opposite around the time she was committing the homicides she took

00:05:59.260 a phone call from her husband whom she had sent away on an errand demonstrating of course that

00:06:03.860 she was not out of her mind at the time this is all planned after the murders were completed

00:06:08.460 she did not call the police she did not attempt to revive her children or contact emergency services

00:06:16.120 as the prosecutor pointed out in closing arguments she didn't even pick them up and

00:06:20.400 put them in their beds, at least giving them some symbolic shred of dignity in death. 0.96

00:06:26.560 Instead, she left them face down on the basement floor. This loving mother. Then, having strangled

00:06:34.980 her three children to death in a methodical, systematic, violent, determined manner, one by

00:06:41.280 one with exercise bands that collapsed their airways and forced their eyes to bulge in their

00:06:46.460 heads, Clancy suddenly became extremely tentative and apprehensive in her alleged suicide attempt

00:06:52.120 that followed. Armed with a knife, Clancy somehow managed to cause only superficial injuries to her

00:06:58.080 wrists when she was supposedly trying to end her life. And for her grand finale, Clancy jumped out

00:07:03.700 of a second-story window. Yes, a second-story residential window. I mean, short of, I don't

00:07:11.480 know, shooting yourself with a Nerf gun, it would be hard to imagine a more cartoonish, 0.92

00:07:16.100 ineffective, unserious way to kill yourself than jumping out of a second-story residential window.

00:07:25.340 But that's how Lindsay Clancy attempted to leave this world, or so we're told. 1.00

00:07:29.820 Immediately after she methodically murdered her own children, applying the necessary force while

00:07:33.780 she determinedly snuffed the life out of one child, then the next, then the next, Clancy 1.00

00:07:39.080 transformed into a kind of bumbling idiot who simply couldn't figure out a way to die. 0.98

00:07:44.400 And then for several years, up to this very day, as the trial now moves into tomorrow, 1.00

00:07:50.160 now that they ended the day without a verdict. So up to this very day, she has done everything

00:07:56.900 in her power to reduce the amount of time she has to spend in prison. She hired the fanciest

00:08:03.360 defense attorney money could buy and fought for her freedom. Her defense attorney has said,

00:08:09.080 multiple times during deliberations when he's been asked by the media how Clancy is doing,

00:08:13.700 he has said multiple times that she's nervous, she's scared about the verdict.

00:08:19.740 But what would a loving mother be nervous or scared about in this situation? I mean,

00:08:26.600 you're only nervous or scared about a verdict if you're hoping desperately that you won't be found

00:08:30.960 guilty. But why would a loving mother who knows what she did have any desperate hopes for her

00:08:38.140 future at all. I mean, at a minimum, wouldn't a loving mother in this situation be totally

00:08:44.200 indifferent to what the jury verdict is? Your life is ruined and you're in a living hell no

00:08:51.000 matter what. What do you care if you go to prison or not? But she does have hopes for the future

00:08:57.720 because she's an evil, she's psychotic. She's a psychopath rather. Just like many mass murderers 1.00

00:09:07.240 and serial killers before her. Now, Clancy's supporters could claim that she was insane when

00:09:13.700 she committed the crime. That's certainly nonsense, but none of us were there reading her mind when

00:09:18.080 she did it. Not that it matters anyway. She deserves to fry no matter what was going on in

00:09:22.020 her mind at the time of the murders, as we've established. But we can all observe what she's 0.78

00:09:27.680 doing right now, right? Starting with hiring a very savvy lawyer and fighting for her freedom. 1.00

00:09:35.640 These are not the actions of a loving mother who accidentally executed her entire family,

00:09:42.080 even if I could accept that one might accidentally do something like that, which I don't.

00:09:47.020 If Clancy was actually a loving mother who killed her kids through no conscious fault of her own,

00:09:51.920 then she would be in total despair right now, utterly indifferent to the jury verdict.

00:09:58.200 And if she had any hopes or plans for the future, it would just be the hope that she could find a way to kill herself in jail. 0.86

00:10:04.760 OK, to be very frank about it. That's the only hope that I can imagine any parent who's actually a loving parent in this kind of situation could possibly have.

00:10:16.480 Now, to be clear about this, the mere fact that Clancy half-assed the suicide attempt and is now fighting for her freedom tells you everything you need to know.

00:10:27.260 I mean, you don't even need to get into the fact that she failed to mention, you know, that she killed her children when her husband showed up or the way that she went doctor shopping for pills or her Google search history showing that she had planned this.

00:10:39.260 The fact that she had an extraordinarily robust support system, despite what people claim, including a nanny.

00:10:45.240 You don't even need to think about the voice she supposedly heard in her head telling her to murder her children.

00:10:49.700 a voice that had never appeared before that moment or since, and one that even if it did

00:10:54.380 appear, which I don't think it did, she could have just said no to the voice. You don't even

00:11:00.560 need to think about any of that. The way Clancy behaved after the murders, by itself, is enough

00:11:06.620 to conclude that she was not in the throes of some horrible, mystical, temporary psychosis

00:11:12.320 that briefly controlled her mind. Lindsay Clancy is exactly what she appears to be.

00:11:19.700 a demon. I mean, she's the reason we had witch trials. And the jury in her murder trial should 0.99

00:11:26.460 have concluded in less than an hour that she should spend the rest of her life in prison for 1.00

00:11:31.180 first-degree murder, which would still be a sentence far more lenient than what she deserves.

00:11:36.900 But after three and a half days of deliberations, the jury still has not returned a verdict,

00:11:41.900 as they head now into the next day. According to courtroom reports, there are nine women and

00:11:47.560 three men on the jury. And you can only imagine what those three men have had to deal with over

00:11:53.580 the past few days. This is not exactly 12 angry men we're talking about here. This is this we can

00:11:58.640 only assume is a kind of tick tock jury. Maybe some of the women are probably debating astrology 1.00

00:12:05.500 or fantasizing about how the husband really did it. Meanwhile, the men are saying, no, wait a

00:12:11.300 minute, you can't just murder your children and get away with it. And they're fighting a losing

00:12:15.460 battle. Now, in short, this is a trial that threatens to set the American legal system along

00:12:21.780 with women's suffrage, the women's suffrage movement back about 150 years or so. There is now 0.69

00:12:28.820 a very real possibility that the jury will not reach a verdict in this case because several

00:12:33.100 jurors want to acquit Lindsay Clancy on the basis of her alleged mental illness. And actually,

00:12:38.040 that might be the best case scenario at this point. It's also possible, of course, that

00:12:41.460 the jury simply finds her not guilty by a unanimous verdict, or that the prosecutors decide not to

00:12:48.320 retry the case after a hung jury. In any of these scenarios, the odds are substantial that before

00:12:54.200 long, Clancy will be a free woman, which she apparently wants to be because, again, she's not

00:13:01.100 in any kind of despair over having killed her kids. She doesn't care because she's an evil psychopath. 1.00

00:13:06.400 death. And that's because in Massachusetts, once you're found not guilty by reason of insanity, 0.99

00:13:11.500 you're released from jail the moment psychiatrists determine that you're no longer a threat to

00:13:17.020 yourself or others. There's a 40-day evaluation period followed by a six-month period of commitment,

00:13:23.160 which has to be renewed endlessly in one-year increments if the prosecution wants to keep you

00:13:27.580 in prison. But as soon as a doctor determines that you're not crazy anymore, you're free.

00:13:33.300 It's as if you never murdered anybody.

00:13:35.480 If a doctor says that Clancy was suffering from postpartum psychosis, then in all likelihood, she'll be out of prison within a year.

00:13:45.120 You know, maybe she can go have more kids. 0.76

00:13:50.080 Well, I've decided as a society in that case that women occasionally become so overwhelmed with hormones that they aren't responsible for anything they do, even slaughtering their own children in a premeditated triple homicide. 0.88

00:14:02.580 we will have determined as a matter of law 0.99

00:14:05.220 that women simply cannot control themselves 0.99

00:14:08.180 and therefore should suffer no consequences whatsoever. 0.99

00:14:10.480 That's the argument on that side of it.

00:14:13.120 If a voice tells them to do something,

00:14:14.740 then they have no choice but to comply.

00:14:17.480 Well, if that's the case,

00:14:19.080 if that was the case, 1.00

00:14:20.860 then why would we ever entrust a woman to do anything? 1.00

00:14:24.120 Run a business, lead a country, treat patients? 1.00

00:14:27.980 What's to stop the first female president 1.00

00:14:29.820 from launching all of our nuclear warheads 1.00

00:14:32.020 in a moment of postpartum psychosis.

00:14:35.140 If something like that happens,

00:14:36.460 who are we to judge?

00:14:38.420 She couldn't control herself.

00:14:39.760 She was struggling.

00:14:42.000 Men wouldn't understand. 1.00

00:14:44.700 So the feminists defending Lindsay Clancy 0.99

00:14:46.900 are, by their own arguments, 0.63

00:14:49.280 these are their arguments.

00:14:52.640 They're making the strongest case

00:14:54.360 for the patriarchy

00:14:55.280 that anyone could ever make.

00:14:58.540 So in summation,

00:14:59.680 the defense of Lindsay Clancy

00:15:00.920 is, to put it mildly, self-defeating. But it's a very widespread belief among women right now,

00:15:07.640 which is why this case is blown up on TikTok. And indeed, there's a very obvious split in this case

00:15:12.760 between men and women. Men generally believe Lindsay Clancy deserves to die for what she did. 0.94

00:15:17.540 Women, many of them are saying she's not responsible. This is from Savannah Hernandez.

00:15:22.120 Watch. The jury is deliberating on a verdict for Lindsay Clancy. And so we are asking people today

00:15:27.960 whether or not they think that she's innocent or guilty.

00:15:30.400 I think she's innocent.

00:15:31.500 I think if she was guilty, I think it needs to be a state of psychosis.

00:15:34.200 She does not deserve prison time.

00:15:35.700 Based on all the evidence I've seen, the time stamps just doesn't add up to... 0.69

00:15:39.580 I don't think she had enough time to kill all three kids and harm herself.

00:15:42.720 Whether or not she did it from a state of sanity, she killed her kids. 0.97

00:15:45.800 Yeah. 0.99

00:15:46.160 Yeah, I mean, she shouldn't be walking free, probably. 0.86

00:15:48.880 Lindsay Clancy trial.

00:15:49.980 Have you guys been following it?

00:15:51.400 My girlfriend has.

00:15:52.480 I know nothing about it, but she's on TikTok for like three hours in the morning.

00:15:55.860 What does your girlfriend say about it?

00:15:57.380 she thinks she's innocent what do you think i don't know enough about it i just know what

00:16:02.500 she says i wish i knew something about it the guilty party is like the medical system that

00:16:06.420 failed both her and the children i hope that lindsey clancy not only gets strapped to an

00:16:10.740 electric chair but that they lethally inject her three different times and here's the crazy part

00:16:14.580 about the clancy trial and i could go on for days in this two things number one if you think that

00:16:18.340 men are holding women to too high of standards and your poster child is lindsey clancy how low 1.00

00:16:22.420 do you want the standard to be the only thing we're asking she refrained from doing is killing 0.76

00:16:26.660 the kids when her husband goes out to get her Midol is that too much to ask for is that a

00:16:30.260 leviathan lift for you please don't kill the kids while we're out getting bananas and number two 1.00

00:16:34.180 you can't have it both ways okay the same women that are standing outside of the courthouse railing 1.00

00:16:38.100 on and on about how her husband should have intervened and taken control for medications 1.00

00:16:41.780 and god forbid involuntarily had her committed and separated from her children would have been

00:16:45.460 the same women who if he had done that would have said handmaid's tale do you feel like men's

00:16:49.300 response to this trial has been fair no i don't think a man i don't think a man should have any

00:16:55.460 say in it, honestly. Now, speaking to Kaitlyn Bennett, some Clancy supporters openly admitted,

00:17:02.120 seems openly admit, that they would potentially harm their own children. Watch.

00:17:07.880 Do you stand with her, yes or no? I don't think she did it. Yes. We feel she's very sleep deprived.

00:17:13.320 Her job as a labor and delivery nurse working night shifts and three children is a lot. A lot. 0.94

00:17:18.960 Do you have children? Yes. Would you ever hurt them? Yes and no. As a mom or as a dad, I think

00:17:25.020 that you are not perfect so what are the consequences she should face for this obviously 0.57

00:17:29.840 she's already in a wheelchair he should go to jail for negligence he was he needs to take care of his

00:17:35.940 kids now there hasn't been a poll on this officially as far as i know but it's apparent that a

00:17:40.840 a large preponderance of women in this country are supportive of lindsey clancy and that's why

00:17:48.760 these videos are so easy to find it's also why mobs of clancy uh supporters almost all of them

00:17:53.400 women have been gathering outside the courthouse wearing pink as a show of solidarity. You know,

00:18:00.760 they say they're trying to break the stigma surrounding postpartum psychosis. They claim

00:18:04.920 the health care system failed Lindsay Clancy. But they're clearly projecting themselves onto

00:18:11.300 Clancy. They see this case as a potential vindication for all of their own deluded,

00:18:16.100 narcissistic, psychopathic behavior in their own lives. A not guilty verdict for Clancy to these

00:18:22.380 women is also a retroactive justification for their own horrible parenting. It's an official

00:18:29.220 statement from the court that when they mistreat their spouse or their children, they're actually

00:18:34.880 blameless. They have no agency. They have no ability to control themselves. That's why so

00:18:41.480 many of these women have taken an interest in the case. Lindsay Clancy is, you know, she's not a 1.00

00:18:45.840 supermodel. She's not an actress. She's a woman of kind of average looks, if also somewhat witch-like 1.00

00:18:51.420 in appearance and therefore she's the perfect avatar any self-absorbed woman can easily see

00:18:58.500 herself in lindsey clancy as they've said that they do and this footage makes the point for me

00:19:03.580 watch as women mob clancy's lawyer outside of the courthouse treating him like some kind of celebrity

00:19:08.900 and listen to what they tell him we came from houston to watch you thank you i wish i wish

00:19:16.260 If someone will help my daughter, please, thank you for helping Mr. Reddy.

00:19:23.260 Really?

00:19:24.260 Mr. Reddy?

00:19:25.260 Yes, sir.

00:19:26.260 Where should we go eat a steak?

00:19:27.260 We want to take you out for a steak dinner, Mr. Reddy.

00:19:30.260 Thank you, Mr. Reddy.

00:19:33.260 I had my mental health weaponized against me and family.

00:19:37.260 I had an issue whenever my son was postpartum.

00:19:40.260 Or whenever I was postpartum, my second son was eight months old.

00:19:43.260 You hear the voice of so many morals.

00:19:45.260 i know what kelly went or sorry lindsey went through i know what she went through i feel it

00:19:50.820 i've watched you every day and i've just been like i wish now notice how they're all talking

00:19:59.540 about themselves in the most pathetic way imaginable they're not even really interested

00:20:03.200 in the case they're interested in prattling on about their own problems clancy as i said is an 0.99

00:20:08.720 avatar and as always they have no self-awareness about that whatsoever most of the women rallying

00:20:13.720 around clancy don't even know why they're doing it they don't understand their own psychology let 0.97

00:20:19.780 alone hers and now these freaks want to buy this slimy lawyer a steak dinner as if he wants to be

00:20:25.720 anywhere near them but now that they've burned through every other relationship in their lives

00:20:29.980 they're desperate for any dinner date they can get i guess and of course the great concern is that 1.00

00:20:34.620 the crazy feminist women aren't just outside the courthouse or on tiktok they're also sitting on 1.00

00:20:39.740 the jury. And although we can't know for sure right now, there is reason to be concerned about 1.00

00:20:46.240 that. This is a post from Justice Serve TV, which was in the courtroom on Monday, quote,

00:20:51.700 Judge Sullivan takes a seat, jury in, dapper Dan, alternate, still in his tie, handsome woman has on

00:20:56.940 pink jean shorts, and juror in front row, far left, white woman 40-ish, is wearing a pink sweater. 1.00

00:21:03.340 so that's two jurors who are wearing pink to the courtroom uh you know women wear pink sometimes 0.70

00:21:10.920 it could be that but also uh clancy supporters are wearing pink outside the courthouse to signal 0.81

00:21:17.260 their support for child murder is that what these women are signaling at la magazine a reporter

00:21:25.520 named lauren conlan had the same observation quote on monday morning jurors shuffled to the courtroom 1.00

00:21:29.860 looking more dressed up than usual. Several male jurors wore collared shirts, including one with a

00:21:35.100 tie, while several female jurors wore dresses. Notably, two females wore pink, one in a pink

00:21:42.060 sweater and another in pink pants. The color choice stood out as supporters of Lindsey Clancy

00:21:46.480 have previously worn pink as a show of support. This is like something out of Runaway Jury,

00:21:53.500 and it raises an obvious question, which is why is the judge allowing this? Why didn't he ask any

00:21:58.800 of these jurors about the clothes they were wearing? Why didn't he immediately dismiss these

00:22:03.440 jurors and install the alternates? I mean, if there's even a suspicion that they're biased in

00:22:09.280 that way, that's enough reason to kick them off the jury. There was reporting that the judge did

00:22:15.000 pull each juror aside for questioning under oath after the August 20th demonstration outside the

00:22:19.340 courthouse where the demonstrators all wore pink. And the judge asked each of the members of the

00:22:23.840 jury whether or not the protests had affected them or their ability to remain impartial.

00:22:27.320 but obviously this doesn't go anywhere near far enough you know none of these women are going to

00:22:32.620 tell the judge yeah you know my brain is fried on tiktok slop i can't be an impartial juror anymore

00:22:37.180 when a trial involves this much publicity to the point that members of the jury can't avoid hearing

00:22:43.320 about it on social media or seeing the protesters when they drive up to the court in the morning

00:22:48.860 then the judge has an obligation to take some affirmative action to ensure a fair trial

00:22:55.960 And I'm not saying the judge could have solved all the problems with this trial,

00:22:58.840 but he could have done a lot more than we've seen so far.

00:23:02.880 Like, for starters, the jury should have been sequestered from the beginning of the trial.

00:23:07.940 They should have had no access to the Internet whatsoever from the moment testimony began.

00:23:14.280 This is the whole point of sequestering the jury.

00:23:16.400 It's for very high-profile cases like this one,

00:23:18.800 where there's no realistic way for the jury to avoid seeing information about the trial

00:23:23.480 when they leave the courtroom.

00:23:25.080 If you can't sequester the jury in this case, then there's no situation where you can do it.

00:23:30.500 If not now, then when?

00:23:32.960 Now, it's inconvenient for the jury, sure.

00:23:35.100 I mean, nobody likes being locked away in a hotel under armed guard without the ability to contact the rest of the world or to browse TikTok.

00:23:41.500 But in this case, more than any other case in recent memory, I mean, that's precisely what the jury needed.

00:23:49.640 Think of it more like a TikTok detox than sequestration.

00:23:53.040 uh you know these people needed to be forcibly prevented from scrolling their feeds and rotting

00:23:58.880 their brains even more than they've probably already have and who knows after their fifth

00:24:03.840 week of being imprisoned in a holiday inn maybe these people would have uh some of them started

00:24:08.260 to use their own brains again maybe they'd develop an attention span and critical thinking skills

00:24:12.500 this is actually something that would do almost any of us some good be sequestered away from the

00:24:19.600 brain rot for five weeks. I think we could all benefit from that. As far as I know, no one's

00:24:24.240 ever run this experiment. No one's ever jailed brain rot obsessed women and taken their phones

00:24:31.940 away for a month and observed the effects. So this trial could have a perfect opportunity to

00:24:37.020 give that a shot. At some point, eating became a research project. You're supposed to track

00:24:42.500 everything, measure everything, read 17 conflicting studies, and somehow construct the perfect diet

00:24:48.780 every time. Most people aren't going to do that. That's part of the appeal of Balance of Nature.

00:25:54.000 of Massachusetts never sequesters its juries. I mean, it's an option that's available to judges

00:25:57.780 and it's left up to their discretion, but they never seem to actually exercise the option

00:26:02.000 and force jurors to stay in a hotel. And that's strange because there's plenty of precedent for

00:26:07.800 sequestering juries in long trials in other states. And it can have a very significant impact.

00:26:13.880 So consider the trial of Bill Cosby, for example. So the jury was sequestered for nearly a month

00:26:18.600 at the height of the Me Too panic. You couldn't turn on a TV or scroll your phone without seeing

00:26:25.120 some reference to the Me Too movement and how it was finally time for a reckoning in Hollywood and

00:26:29.440 so forth. And yet, because the Cosby jury was sequestered for the entire length of the trial,

00:26:34.300 the jurors said that they didn't hear anything about the Me Too movement. This is from ABC

00:26:39.200 following the verdict, quote, Moreover, while many speculated that the Me Too movement loomed large

00:26:43.860 and perhaps swayed the jury in the Cosby trial, Harrison Snyder said he doesn't believe it played

00:26:47.900 a role in the jury's decision at all. I didn't really even know about the Me Too movement,

00:26:51.760 he said. I really only found out about that after I got home. Then I looked online to see what

00:26:56.680 everything was. Yes, in a centerpiece trial of the Me Too movement, the jurors, who were locked

00:27:02.900 away in a hotel room, didn't even know what the Me Too movement was. Now, assuming this guy is not

00:27:07.440 lying, it's a very relevant data point when you're deciding where to put a jury during deliberations

00:27:14.420 on a high-profile trial. Would sequestering the Clancy jury have had a similar effect? We have

00:27:20.200 no idea. The case was receiving a lot of attention prior to the jury being seated. It's very possible

00:27:26.280 some of the jurors were already prejudiced in favor of Clancy before the testimony even began.

00:27:32.900 All the same, it was clearly worth a shot. There's no reason not to do it. As it stands throughout the entire trial and deliberations, the jurors have had constant access to people who want to sway their verdict.

00:27:47.040 And while we're on the topic, a change of venue was obviously appropriate as well. This was actually something the defense wanted on the grounds that Clancy had demonized, been demonized by the local press in Plymouth, supposedly.

00:27:58.000 So they wanted the trial to be moved to Boston, which was denied because the judge thought Plymouth had a diversity of opinions on the matter.

00:28:07.940 But the real problem with this motion for a change in venue is that it didn't go nearly far enough.

00:28:13.220 The trial should have been moved to the single most remote location the judge could find.

00:28:19.280 Pick a jury on St. Matthew Island in the Bering Sea and hold a trial there.

00:28:22.920 yes it's an uninhabited island but you could easily find some commercial fishermen nearby or

00:28:28.240 maybe a few search and rescue pilots i guarantee you a jury in the bering sea is not going to

00:28:32.920 care about tiktok conspiracy theories about lindsey clancy it'll be the least prejudiced

00:28:37.360 jury in the entire country they listen carefully to the facts of the case which are undisputed and

00:28:41.820 they would return a verdict in about 30 seconds and then they would return to their lives and

00:28:46.220 nobody would have to think about this infernal trial ever again 0.85

00:28:49.520 now although they don't realize it this would be the best possible outcome for clancy supporters as 0.95

00:28:56.040 well yes it could be intoxicating to absolve yourself and your gender of all personal

00:29:01.280 responsibility but in the long run it leads to a lot of very uncomfortable questions for these

00:29:06.140 people for example this was an incident that unfolded yesterday in times square um an obese

00:29:11.840 woman stabbed someone to death then threatened to uh stab the nypd officers who were gathered

00:29:18.720 on the sidewalk to confront her.

00:29:20.560 You'll note that most of the officers

00:29:21.520 are standing around

00:29:22.300 with their hands in their pockets,

00:29:23.480 which is obviously

00:29:23.940 a very tactical posture. 1.00

00:29:25.980 As the woman charged at the officers,

00:29:27.520 she was shot by one of the few officers 0.69

00:29:29.560 who was paying attention

00:29:30.340 to what was going on

00:29:31.060 and she died shortly afterwards.

00:29:33.140 Now, let's say that

00:29:33.720 instead of getting shot to death,

00:29:34.860 this woman survived 1.00

00:29:35.740 and was put on trial.

00:29:38.100 Well, what exactly is the argument

00:29:39.460 for sending her to prison?

00:29:41.160 If you're a Lindsay Clancy supporter, 0.93

00:29:43.800 why not send her to a mental hospital 0.99

00:29:45.040 for a few months 0.83

00:29:45.660 and then release her back on the streets? 1.00

00:29:47.080 If you're going to let Clancy walk because of postpartum psychosis, who's to say that this obese woman wasn't suffering some kind of psychosis as well? 1.00

00:29:57.060 Maybe her hormones were out of whack. 1.00

00:29:59.960 Who knows? Maybe she had a child at some point in the last five years. 0.96

00:30:04.000 Clearly, she wasn't acting like a sane person.

00:30:07.240 So how can we hold her responsible for stabbing random people to death and trying to decapitate a few police officers?

00:30:15.180 These are not rhetorical questions.

00:30:16.620 I mean, these are precisely the kinds of obvious problems you run into when you start pretending people have no agency or responsibility.

00:30:23.640 Every single killer who's ever lived has had various biological factors you could point to as an explanation for what they did.

00:30:32.500 Maybe they were impulsive by nature, thanks to their genetics.

00:30:35.580 Maybe they had an unexpected surge of testosterone that made them more violent.

00:30:38.800 Maybe they were irritable because they had low blood sugar. 1.00

00:30:42.700 Maybe they're simply too dumb to understand the consequences of their actions due to a lack of brain cells. 0.99

00:30:48.680 All of these factors may have contributed to the killer's state of mind in thousands of crimes. 0.99

00:30:57.220 But none of these factors can ever justify murder.

00:31:00.660 They don't mean we have to live around these people either.

00:31:04.100 When you reach the opposite conclusion, when you excuse murders because of some biological imbalance you think you've identified,

00:31:10.720 then you're effectively legalizing murder as a category there is no limiting principle you can

00:31:18.580 apply anymore you're endangering all of society and providing a massive incentive for people to

00:31:24.400 murder anyone who inconveniences them and you're doing it all for what purpose exactly

00:31:29.540 well the lindsey clancy case is what happens when you tell millions of people that they're oppressed

00:31:35.860 on the basis of characteristics they can't control and then you give those people immense

00:31:39.420 power in society, power that they've never had at any other point in human civilization. 0.99

00:31:44.400 You know, we're approaching the logical endpoint of the 20 different waves of feminism,

00:31:48.960 the legalization of post-birth abortion, of murder on demand. Yes, it remains possible the jury will

00:31:55.260 ultimately reach the correct verdict in this case, although at this point it doesn't look very likely.

00:31:59.440 But what we do know, and what I didn't realize until this case went mainstream, at least did

00:32:06.480 fully realize is that a not insignificant number of women have at least considered harming their

00:32:11.540 own children. I mean, that's what many Clancy defenders have admitted, sometimes implicitly,

00:32:17.360 but also sometimes explicitly. And whatever happens to Lindsay Clancy, we have to confront

00:32:24.080 the fact that these people are living among us. They're living with children in many cases.

00:32:29.640 They're sitting on juries. They hold elected office. They're judges and police officers and

00:32:35.440 DMV clerks and bus drivers, and they are harboring murderous desires in their hearts.

00:32:44.200 They're the kinds of people who look at a monster like Lindsay Clancy and find common cause with her. 1.00

00:32:51.360 And because of this case, these kinds of women are now realizing all over the country that 1.00

00:32:56.560 should they ever act on those desires, they can probably get away with it 1.00

00:33:01.320 and become famous and wealthy in the process.

00:33:05.440 And that's why whatever the jury ultimately decides in this case, the mere fact that deliberations have taken so long basically guarantees that very soon we'll all find out how depraved these people can get.

00:33:19.620 And particularly if there's a Lindsey Clancy supporter in your life, for your sake and your children's sake, you should be very worried about that. 0.57

00:33:30.840 That'll do it for the show today. Thanks for watching. Thanks for listening. Talk to you tomorrow. Have a great day. Godspeed.

00:33:35.440 In all of my years of public life, I have never profited from public service.

00:33:48.320 I welcome this kind of examination because people have got to know

00:33:51.560 whether or not their president's a crook. Well, I'm not a crook.

00:33:55.460 For more than five decades, from Iran-Contra to Monica Lewinsky to Russiagate,

00:33:59.880 every political scandal has been measured against one, the Watergate affair.

00:34:03.660 But what if Richard Nixon was telling the truth?

00:34:07.380 What if Watergate isn't what it seems?

00:34:09.740 What if hundreds of thousands of pages of sworn testimony, memoirs, and newly released

00:34:14.340 government documents tell a different story than the one you learned in school?

00:34:18.560 In 1972, Nixon won the biggest electoral landslide in modern American history with

00:34:24.180 grand plans to remake the federal government.

00:34:27.440 Two years later, he was out of office.

00:34:29.900 You were taught that Nixon's men broke into the Democratic National Committee headquarters

00:34:33.740 to spy on his political opponents.

00:34:35.940 You were taught that when he found out, Nixon covered it up, and that the cover-up was worse

00:34:41.460 than the crime.

00:34:43.300 You were taught that two heroic Washington Post reporters, guided by a righteous FBI

00:34:48.260 whistleblower, brought the most powerful man in the world to justice.

00:34:52.640 But you were never taught what really happened.

00:34:54.900 I shall resign the presidency, effective at noon tomorrow.
