00:00:00.000 The Stone Zone
00:00:30.000 The Stone Zone
00:00:30.800 Here's Roger Stone
00:00:32.960 And we're back in the Stone Zone
00:00:37.020 On Memorial Day
00:00:38.140 President Donald Trump announced the full and unconditional pardon
00:00:41.900 Of former Culpeper County, Virginia Sheriff Scott Jenkins
00:00:45.760 In my opinion, the political prosecution of Sheriff Jenkins
00:00:49.060 Was among the most egregious attacks on law enforcement
00:00:52.260 By the Biden administration
00:00:53.940 Jenkins was prosecuted for taking alleged bribes
00:00:57.900 Deputized several men after an elaborate FBI sting campaign
00:01:02.000 And he was sentenced to 10 years in prison
00:01:05.480 After being convicted in a Soviet-style show trial
00:01:10.000 The sheriff was scheduled to turn himself in this morning
00:01:14.380 To federal prison
00:01:17.500 Where he would have been in the general population
00:01:20.240 With murderers and drug dealers and worse
00:01:22.960 And I think the president recognized that not only was Scott Jenkins
00:01:27.500 An innocent man
00:01:28.840 But his life was truly in danger
00:01:31.440 Joining us now
00:01:32.860 Former Culpeper County Sheriff Scott Jenkins himself
00:01:37.300 Hello, sir
00:01:39.700 Thank you for having me
00:01:40.660 I'm very, very happy for you and your family
00:01:44.400 I've been through this same exact experience
00:01:47.720 As you know
00:01:48.420 And I can't even begin to describe the wave of relief
00:01:54.520 The president said online
00:01:57.660 Sheriff Scott Jenkins and his wife Patricia
00:01:59.900 And their family had been dragged through hell
00:02:01.900 By a corrupt and weaponized Biden DOJ
00:02:04.680 In fact, during his trial
00:02:06.500 When Sheriff Jenkins tried to offer exculpatory evidence
00:02:09.560 To defend himself
00:02:11.440 The Biden judge, Robert Ballou, refused to allow it
00:02:14.640 Shut him down and then went on a tirade
00:02:16.880 So, Sheriff Jenkins
00:02:18.500 First of all, congratulations
00:02:20.120 And God bless you and your family
00:02:22.360 What evidence did the judge refuse
00:02:25.680 To allow you to present in your own defense?
00:02:29.840 Well, there were so many things
00:02:31.540 That we weren't allowed to even speak of
00:02:33.240 If I testified directly
00:02:35.100 Let alone to call certain witnesses
00:02:36.640 For example, if you are attacking me
00:02:39.260 And charging me for things related to an auxiliary deputy program
00:02:42.560 Which is a volunteer deputy program
00:02:44.820 Many sheriffs have those across the country
00:02:47.640 Then you would think I'd be able to call other
00:02:50.340 Many other maybe auxiliary deputies
00:02:53.040 To counter what's being alleged
00:02:55.520 We couldn't call any of them
00:02:57.060 The fact that these alleged bribes and things
00:03:01.940 Were nothing more than campaign contributions
00:03:03.840 And when this informant
00:03:07.040 This setup that they made
00:03:08.380 Where this individual came to me
00:03:10.040 And said, well, you know
00:03:10.640 Some of them give you cash instead of a check
00:03:13.260 Because it generally always checks
00:03:14.920 And I said, you know, I don't care
00:03:16.080 It goes through the treasury
00:03:17.780 Deposited and so on
00:03:18.880 Well, you know, that cash donations
00:03:21.480 That they thought was so horrible
00:03:22.720 That I had accepted
00:03:23.580 And actually they handed to me
00:03:25.140 Which was all a setup
00:03:26.200 It was there in a gun safe
00:03:29.360 In my home
00:03:30.160 With the other checks and things
00:03:31.900 Ready for the next campaign finance report
00:03:33.960 To be turned in with the treasurer
00:03:35.360 And so forth
00:03:35.980 When they approached me
00:03:37.560 On that day that they
00:03:38.580 I sat down for two hours
00:03:40.540 With no lawyer
00:03:41.180 Answered all their questions
00:03:42.380 Never lied
00:03:43.300 They never charged me with a lie or anything
00:03:45.340 But during that time
00:03:46.580 They sat with a search warrant
00:03:47.740 In hand for my home
00:03:48.900 And they would not go serve the search warrant
00:03:51.060 Because they knew
00:03:51.740 When I said, well, just go out there now
00:03:53.340 All the money's there
00:03:54.180 I haven't used any of it for myself
00:03:55.900 It's there waiting to be turned in as normal
00:03:58.200 And of course
00:03:59.820 There were a number of other things I can go into
00:04:01.680 But not being able to call
00:04:03.200 You know, things like that
00:04:04.300 To highlight that
00:04:05.320 And say, look, you know
00:04:06.080 This money has remained there
00:04:07.980 All this time
00:04:08.780 All these many months
00:04:09.520 Until trial
00:04:10.140 And it was there
00:04:10.860 Until, you know
00:04:11.720 Long after I was sentenced
00:04:12.760 It remained in the same place
00:04:14.540 Hoping, you know
00:04:15.600 That we could use that
00:04:16.620 To defend ourselves
00:04:17.680 My lawyers
00:04:18.300 They tried unsuccessfully
00:04:20.320 To get, you know
00:04:21.380 A number of things
00:04:22.220 Into the court
00:04:23.080 To use as our defense
00:04:24.680 And, you know
00:04:25.840 Any of those things
00:04:26.800 Would be shot down
00:04:27.740 The fact that I had
00:04:28.820 So loyally supported
00:04:29.960 President Trump
00:04:31.700 Since, you know
00:04:32.780 Before he was first president
00:04:34.120 And in his first term
00:04:35.480 So much
00:04:36.020 Working with border sheriffs
00:04:37.340 And other issues
00:04:38.040 We couldn't mention that
00:04:40.200 In the trial
00:04:40.740 When I got on the stand
00:04:41.840 To try to defend myself
00:04:43.080 At the end
00:04:43.600 To just tell my side
00:04:44.740 They would not let me
00:04:46.000 Even speak
00:04:46.720 Of my support
00:04:48.120 Of President Trump
00:04:49.020 And the fact that I was
00:04:49.880 A conservative
00:04:50.540 You know
00:04:51.160 Constitutional sheriff
00:04:52.220 And so on
00:04:52.620 I actually blurted out
00:04:54.940 A few times
00:04:55.680 Mistakenly
00:04:56.700 After being warned
00:04:57.500 By the judge
00:04:58.180 To say
00:04:59.100 Well, you know
00:05:00.140 This is false
00:05:01.160 You're telling the jury
00:05:02.120 That a sheriff
00:05:02.720 Can't hire someone
00:05:03.720 Who has, for example
00:05:04.660 Been a felon
00:05:05.360 That's not right
00:05:06.780 Jelly Roll
00:05:07.420 Is a famous singer
00:05:08.340 Right now
00:05:08.780 He's currently now
00:05:09.740 An auxiliary deputy
00:05:10.740 Up in Michigan
00:05:11.460 Or somewhere
00:05:11.940 There's celebrities
00:05:13.060 All over
00:05:13.680 Who've been sworn
00:05:14.360 Into these honorary roles
00:05:15.560 And so on
00:05:16.000 And as I started
00:05:16.800 To name some of the ones
00:05:17.920 I had done the same thing
00:05:19.060 With
00:05:19.300 You know
00:05:19.960 The judge
00:05:21.060 You know
00:05:21.440 Every time
00:05:22.300 That we cross a line
00:05:23.820 To give
00:05:24.380 Reasonable explanations
00:05:26.000 Of why certain things
00:05:27.520 Are allowed
00:05:28.840 And why we do things
00:05:29.980 As sheriffs
00:05:30.460 All across the country
00:05:31.380 We couldn't say
00:05:31.960 We couldn't talk about it
00:05:33.080 So how on earth
00:05:34.080 Can you defend yourself
00:05:35.180 And get a jury
00:05:35.840 To understand
00:05:36.580 The real truth
00:05:38.200 Of the authority
00:05:38.880 Of a sheriff
00:05:39.560 If you can't speak
00:05:40.720 About those things
00:05:41.460 And then
00:05:41.920 That's the whole
00:05:42.860 Crux of the point
00:05:43.580 I'd like to just
00:05:44.460 Make it simple
00:05:45.120 For people to understand
00:05:46.120 A judge
00:05:47.740 And a
00:05:48.380 Federal prosecutor
00:05:49.860 DOJ ladies 0.96
00:05:50.920 All three of them
00:05:51.700 Should only speak
00:05:53.000 True facts
00:05:53.840 To the court
00:05:54.420 Never lies
00:05:55.260 Never false information
00:05:56.860 If they do it once
00:05:58.080 What else would they do
00:05:58.960 Well
00:05:59.220 When they sentenced me
00:06:00.660 I use this one good example
00:06:02.080 Of a judge
00:06:02.820 And I'm not angry
00:06:03.980 At the judge
00:06:04.560 I'm sure he's a fine man
00:06:06.780 But
00:06:07.100 The man sat there
00:06:08.900 And said
00:06:09.480 Three demonstrably
00:06:10.980 False things
00:06:12.200 About a sheriff
00:06:12.980 Myself
00:06:14.020 In
00:06:14.960 His sentencing of me
00:06:16.340 He's putting me
00:06:17.020 In prison
00:06:17.540 And in his speech
00:06:19.000 He says
00:06:19.500 He says that
00:06:19.700 I hired
00:06:20.540 Unqualified
00:06:22.300 Unvetted
00:06:23.060 People
00:06:23.980 And did not
00:06:24.880 Train them
00:06:25.500 As required
00:06:26.220 As auxiliary
00:06:27.200 Deputies
00:06:27.660 And all three
00:06:28.440 Of those things
00:06:28.940 Are absolutely
00:06:29.720 False
00:06:30.200 And they're provable
00:06:31.020 Never was anyone
00:06:32.740 In 12 years
00:06:33.580 Of me being sheriff
00:06:34.440 And we can prove
00:06:35.200 It as a fact
00:06:35.800 Every person
00:06:36.560 That took an oath
00:06:37.300 And became a deputy
00:06:38.580 Or auxiliary deputy
00:06:39.560 The fact is
00:06:41.700 A Virginia sheriff
00:06:42.840 Is not required
00:06:43.960 To have
00:06:44.960 Any training
00:06:45.900 Provides for them
00:06:46.800 If they won't
00:06:47.380 Accept that
00:06:47.860 Responsibility
00:06:48.660 And liability
00:06:49.440 They are not
00:06:50.860 Required to be
00:06:51.620 Anything other than
00:06:52.380 A U.S. citizen
00:06:53.220 Have a high school
00:06:54.080 Diploma or equivalent
00:06:55.080 18 years old
00:06:56.120 And you know
00:06:57.140 They don't have to have
00:06:58.920 This laundry list
00:07:00.180 Of qualifications
00:07:00.980 That maybe an FBI agent
00:07:02.420 Or a state trooper
00:07:03.340 Or other police officers
00:07:04.420 Do
00:07:04.640 Sheriffs
00:07:05.220 Have wide latitude
00:07:06.760 In Virginia
00:07:07.460 And across the country
00:07:08.520 I mean it goes
00:07:09.460 It's the oldest
00:07:10.200 Law enforcement
00:07:10.940 That's how they
00:07:11.620 Swear in posses 0.57
00:07:12.520 You know
00:07:12.900 You don't go out
00:07:13.920 Suddenly as a sheriff
00:07:14.900 When you're trying
00:07:15.520 To quell a riot
00:07:16.580 Or go after a fugitive
00:07:18.220 And others as sheriffs
00:07:19.140 And the laws
00:07:19.620 Never change
00:07:20.240 You don't have to go out
00:07:21.780 And do background checks
00:07:22.780 And all the formalities
00:07:23.820 Of a police department
00:07:24.780 200 years ago
00:07:25.880 No
00:07:26.680 Sheriffs were given
00:07:28.020 Wide latitude
00:07:28.800 And it never changed
00:07:30.180 The code stayed the same
00:07:31.580 So when these FBI agents
00:07:33.420 Sat down
00:07:34.000 Knocked on my door
00:07:34.980 And started questioning
00:07:35.800 The very first day
00:07:37.440 They were furious
00:07:38.540 Because I didn't laugh
00:07:39.840 And I was very respectful
00:07:40.920 I mean it was emotional
00:07:41.900 To have you know
00:07:42.620 Read your rights
00:07:43.420 And your whatever
00:07:44.040 You know you're being questioned
00:07:45.140 And I'm saying
00:07:45.720 Guys you don't know
00:07:47.040 What you're talking about
00:07:47.980 You're thinking about FBI
00:07:49.680 Or state police
00:07:50.520 Or others
00:07:50.880 The sheriff's not required
00:07:52.260 To do any of this stuff
00:07:53.420 I'm not bound by
00:07:54.520 Any of those things
00:07:55.340 Well they
00:07:55.720 They stuck to it
00:07:57.100 From that day
00:07:57.920 And when I tried
00:07:59.520 You know
00:07:59.860 Tried to have
00:08:00.660 An expert say
00:08:01.620 Well no
00:08:02.360 The law
00:08:03.020 The constitution of Virginia
00:08:04.200 Says this for sheriffs
00:08:05.360 This doesn't relate
00:08:06.300 This is police chiefs
00:08:07.480 And others
00:08:07.780 It's completely separate
00:08:09.080 Law and requirements
00:08:09.980 They had it in
00:08:12.040 Their minds
00:08:13.240 And they put it
00:08:13.980 In the mind of the juries
00:08:14.900 And ultimately
00:08:15.420 Even a judge
00:08:16.200 They convinced them
00:08:17.160 And overruled
00:08:18.000 Everything we tried
00:08:18.900 To fight it with
00:08:19.660 To say
00:08:20.460 You people are insane
00:08:22.000 You are lying to the court
00:08:23.920 You are saying
00:08:24.560 That a sheriff
00:08:25.100 Is required to do
00:08:25.920 X, Y, and Z
00:08:26.680 And we are not
00:08:27.920 They never introduced
00:08:29.620 Anything
00:08:30.200 To back up
00:08:31.100 Their statements
00:08:31.720 They had no
00:08:32.460 They didn't even
00:08:33.300 Introduce a code section
00:08:34.600 Let alone
00:08:35.100 You know
00:08:35.760 To have like
00:08:36.280 The Virginia
00:08:36.820 Sheriff's Association
00:08:37.980 Lawyer or others
00:08:39.020 Come in as experts
00:08:40.060 And say
00:08:40.520 No
00:08:40.920 A Virginia sheriff
00:08:41.800 Does not have to
00:08:42.780 Require this or that
00:08:44.000 Of a deputy
00:08:44.460 So the whole premise
00:08:45.520 Of their case
00:08:46.460 Just from that
00:08:47.260 And they took that
00:08:47.980 And just snowballed
00:08:49.280 It into one thing
00:08:50.180 After another
00:08:50.700 And they convinced
00:08:51.500 A jury that I swear
00:08:53.200 My god
00:08:53.780 They were not my peers
00:08:54.860 But you know
00:08:55.740 I knew
00:08:56.160 You know
00:08:56.540 We went through
00:08:57.060 The law
00:08:58.080 And it was insane
00:08:59.800 The people that we had
00:09:00.800 There judging me
00:09:01.520 But even the judge
00:09:02.780 I mean
00:09:03.480 I said to someone
00:09:05.060 Yesterday
00:09:05.560 I said
00:09:05.940 You know
00:09:06.260 What we need to do
00:09:07.420 Is let's just
00:09:08.020 Throw down the gauntlet
00:09:08.900 How about those
00:09:09.500 Three ladies from DOJ 0.96
00:09:10.900 That prosecuted me
00:09:11.880 And that judge
00:09:12.680 Let's all stand
00:09:13.440 Before the court
00:09:14.160 And I will gamble
00:09:15.340 The ten years
00:09:16.080 Going to prison
00:09:16.780 And they'll do the same
00:09:17.800 And let's
00:09:18.880 Let's challenge
00:09:19.680 What that judge 0.94
00:09:20.400 Said about me
00:09:22.100 On my sentencing date
00:09:23.200 If he said
00:09:24.120 One factual thing
00:09:25.300 Wrong to the world
00:09:26.340 Then shouldn't it
00:09:27.520 All be in question
00:09:28.500 And he said
00:09:29.120 Three things
00:09:29.820 About a sheriff
00:09:30.500 And what I did
00:09:31.300 That were absolutely
00:09:32.400 False
00:09:33.140 And no one
00:09:34.240 Even looks at it
00:09:35.300 No one even
00:09:35.800 Thinks about it
00:09:36.560 And if
00:09:36.880 And if that's
00:09:37.900 Allowed to stand
00:09:38.700 What other things
00:09:39.740 Have they done
00:09:40.280 And that's what
00:09:40.760 They did in the
00:09:41.240 Whole damn case
00:09:42.140 That money
00:09:42.800 They accused me
00:09:43.920 Of taking
00:09:44.300 It was there
00:09:45.080 It remained there
00:09:46.160 All those many months
00:09:47.240 And was never
00:09:48.360 Like they said it was
00:09:49.880 And I'm sorry
00:09:50.680 I'll stop
00:09:51.180 And give you a moment
00:09:51.840 I just
00:09:52.540 I'm sorry
00:09:53.060 I get on a roll
00:09:53.740 No no no
00:09:54.480 I appreciate it
00:09:55.980 You finally get a chance
00:09:56.920 To tell your side
00:09:58.140 Of things
00:09:58.500 I read the
00:09:59.380 Mainstream media stories
00:10:01.300 And they're all
00:10:02.040 Slanderous
00:10:02.520 They all imply
00:10:03.420 That you somehow
00:10:03.960 Took this money
00:10:04.620 And put it in your pocket
00:10:05.400 When these were
00:10:06.020 Perfectly legal
00:10:07.420 Campaign contributions
00:10:08.700 Look you were convicted
00:10:10.060 On a laundry list
00:10:11.260 Of trumped up charges
00:10:12.720 Including one count
00:10:13.720 Of conspiracy
00:10:14.400 Seven counts
00:10:15.360 Of honest services fraud
00:10:16.920 And seven counts
00:10:17.960 Of bribery
00:10:18.800 Concerning programs
00:10:20.080 That receive federal funds
00:10:21.460 These fake charges
00:10:23.340 Remind me of the
00:10:24.400 Dozens of
00:10:25.300 Phony felonies 0.99
00:10:26.760 Democrats charged
00:10:28.040 President Trump with
00:10:29.440 The charges
00:10:30.560 That they charged
00:10:31.600 General Flynn with
00:10:32.740 The charges
00:10:33.540 They came after me with
00:10:34.880 And I've experienced
00:10:36.180 What you're talking about
00:10:37.240 The jury for a woman 0.98
00:10:39.100 In my case
00:10:39.940 Said during jury selection
00:10:42.480 That she had never
00:10:43.180 Heard of me
00:10:43.720 Didn't know who I was
00:10:45.120 Was unfamiliar
00:10:45.920 With my case
00:10:46.780 Turned out
00:10:47.720 That she'd been
00:10:48.400 Attacking me by name
00:10:49.640 For 19 months
00:10:51.220 Prior
00:10:51.760 To her being selected
00:10:53.720 As a juror
00:10:54.420 In my case
00:10:54.920 She'd been attacking 0.92
00:10:55.960 Me by name
00:10:56.900 Regarding the very case
00:10:58.860 In which she was
00:10:59.520 Selected as a juror
00:11:00.900 But she kept that
00:11:02.220 On a private setting
00:11:03.820 On both Twitter
00:11:04.900 And Facebook
00:11:05.640 So it could not
00:11:06.980 Be detected
00:11:07.640 And the judge ruled
00:11:09.400 That that was not
00:11:10.480 Evidence of bias
00:11:11.940 And refused to
00:11:13.400 Vacate my conviction
00:11:15.200 It's interesting
00:11:17.240 That one of the jurors
00:11:18.220 In my case
00:11:18.800 Said to the
00:11:19.740 Washington Post
00:11:20.420 Afterwards
00:11:20.960 That the judge
00:11:22.460 Never came to
00:11:23.140 The jury room
00:11:23.780 Why would the
00:11:24.940 Why would you
00:11:25.520 Just volunteer
00:11:25.940 That unless
00:11:26.580 Of course
00:11:26.940 The judge
00:11:27.720 Did illegally
00:11:28.880 Come to the jury
00:11:30.240 Room
00:11:30.500 When the jury
00:11:31.300 Got stuck on
00:11:32.180 One count
00:11:32.900 So I've seen
00:11:33.980 This Soviet 0.94
00:11:35.040 Style
00:11:35.660 Which hunt
00:11:36.420 Up front
00:11:37.200 Sheriff I guess
00:11:38.420 My most important
00:11:39.580 Question is
00:11:40.240 Which of your
00:11:41.560 Actions do you
00:11:42.560 Think got you
00:11:44.400 Targeted
00:11:44.960 Was it your
00:11:45.800 Disagreements with
00:11:47.860 Governor Northam
00:11:48.600 Over gun control
00:11:50.420 And the second
00:11:51.040 Amendment rights
00:11:52.020 Guaranteed by our
00:11:53.800 Constitution
00:11:54.360 Was it your
00:11:55.680 Objection to some
00:11:56.700 Of the draconian
00:11:57.460 Measures pertaining
00:11:58.700 To COVID-19
00:12:01.120 Or was it your
00:12:03.320 Strong stance
00:12:04.760 Against illegal
00:12:05.820 And dangerous
00:12:06.840 Immigrants
00:12:07.460 In your county
00:12:09.100 Or lastly
00:12:10.260 Is it possible
00:12:11.160 The fact that you
00:12:12.540 And two other
00:12:13.320 Sheriffs talked
00:12:14.120 About investigating
00:12:16.020 Hunter Biden's
00:12:17.220 Laptop
00:12:17.980 Why did they
00:12:19.200 Single you out
00:12:20.040 Why in your
00:12:21.180 Opinion
00:12:21.580 Were you
00:12:22.280 Targeted
00:12:23.080 I found that
00:12:25.000 The first of
00:12:25.620 Those things
00:12:26.020 You mentioned
00:12:26.480 From the gun
00:12:27.100 Stance down
00:12:27.880 To me
00:12:28.780 Doubling down
00:12:29.440 In a press
00:12:29.900 Conference with
00:12:30.540 Chip Roy and
00:12:31.140 Border sheriffs
00:12:31.820 In fall of
00:12:32.360 22 talking
00:12:33.180 About the same
00:12:34.360 Thing if
00:12:34.740 Congress did
00:12:35.380 A gun ban 0.89
00:12:35.920 I was going
00:12:36.380 To do the
00:12:36.720 Same thing
00:12:37.120 With other
00:12:37.520 Sheriffs and
00:12:38.040 Nullify their
00:12:38.720 Law
00:12:39.080 I think all
00:12:40.180 Of that was
00:12:40.760 Important
00:12:41.580 And I
00:12:42.780 Didn't even
00:12:43.320 Know some
00:12:43.700 Of the
00:12:43.860 Connections
00:12:44.300 With Governor
00:12:44.760 Northam
00:12:45.160 When he
00:12:45.460 Threatened
00:12:45.780 Me publicly
00:12:46.380 To come
00:12:46.760 After me
00:12:47.200 Later
00:12:47.440 I didn't
00:12:48.080 Know there
00:12:48.400 Was a
00:12:48.600 Background
00:12:48.900 There with
00:12:49.420 Richmond
00:12:49.740 Law firms
00:12:50.380 And lawyers
00:12:50.880 Like James
00:12:51.560 Comeing
00:12:52.000 It's a
00:12:52.620 Whole other
00:12:52.980 Story
00:12:53.320 But you
00:12:54.260 Know I
00:12:54.660 Don't know
00:12:54.960 Any of
00:12:55.240 Those things
00:12:55.620 I do
00:12:56.020 Know for
00:12:56.740 Certain though
00:12:57.460 I had a
00:12:58.040 Conversation
00:12:58.680 In the end
00:12:59.060 Of 22
00:12:59.560 When I
00:13:00.980 Was already
00:13:01.380 In their
00:13:01.660 Eye
00:13:02.040 They had
00:13:02.580 A they 0.99
00:13:02.920 Had put
00:13:03.180 A phone
00:13:03.500 Tap
00:13:03.840 A legal 0.56
00:13:04.500 Wire tap
00:13:05.520 From a
00:13:05.940 Judge
00:13:06.280 On my
00:13:07.100 Phone
00:13:07.400 And unbeknownst
00:13:08.080 To me
00:13:08.360 I had a
00:13:08.700 Call with
00:13:09.240 Wayne
00:13:09.520 Ivey
00:13:09.860 A sheriff
00:13:10.260 In Brevard
00:13:10.760 Florida
00:13:11.160 Along with
00:13:11.620 Another
00:13:11.860 Maryland
00:13:12.240 Sheriff
00:13:12.620 We had
00:13:13.240 All been
00:13:13.580 Part of
00:13:13.940 The original
00:13:14.340 Seven
00:13:14.820 Sheriffs
00:13:15.300 That under
00:13:16.020 Trump
00:13:16.580 We you
00:13:17.140 Know we
00:13:17.360 Supported
00:13:17.840 Him
00:13:18.060 And when
00:13:18.600 He was
00:13:18.800 Out of
00:13:19.060 Office
00:13:19.320 We formed
00:13:19.780 Protect
00:13:20.140 America
00:13:20.520 Now
00:13:20.900 A PAC
00:13:21.420 To continue
00:13:22.380 The fight
00:13:22.900 And so
00:13:24.240 That group
00:13:25.100 Of us
00:13:25.440 We were
00:13:25.720 Close
00:13:26.100 And Wayne
00:13:26.540 Had made
00:13:26.820 A call
00:13:27.240 And had
00:13:27.660 Several of
00:13:28.220 Us on
00:13:28.480 The call
00:13:28.880 And in
00:13:30.420 That call
00:13:30.900 Wayne said
00:13:31.440 Look you
00:13:31.840 Know I
00:13:32.080 Have a
00:13:32.400 Former
00:13:32.720 U.S.
00:13:33.180 Attorney
00:13:33.500 State
00:13:34.260 Attorney
00:13:34.600 General
00:13:34.900 And some
00:13:35.220 Others
00:13:35.520 That want
00:13:36.480 To fly
00:13:37.260 Us into
00:13:37.600 A secure
00:13:38.160 Place
00:13:38.620 And we're
00:13:39.740 Going to
00:13:39.900 View the
00:13:40.200 Hunter
00:13:40.360 Biden
00:13:40.600 Laptop
00:13:41.200 See the
00:13:41.600 Crimes
00:13:41.920 That are
00:13:42.180 On it
00:13:42.520 And I'll
00:13:43.320 Return
00:13:43.680 Back to
00:13:44.180 Our home
00:13:44.500 States
00:13:44.860 And obtain
00:13:45.380 Charges
00:13:45.840 Against
00:13:46.160 Hunter
00:13:46.440 From there
00:13:47.060 Once he's
00:13:47.920 Locked down
00:13:48.500 The rest
00:13:48.960 Of the
00:13:49.200 Things
00:13:49.440 Against
00:13:49.740 The rest
00:13:50.080 Of the
00:13:50.280 Family
00:13:50.520 Would be
00:13:50.860 Taken
00:13:51.180 Over by
00:13:51.600 This
00:13:51.840 These two
00:13:52.780 Attorneys
00:13:53.220 And pursued
00:13:54.020 Further
00:13:54.520 And you
00:13:55.900 Know Wayne
00:13:56.220 Said look
00:13:56.720 If I do
00:13:57.200 This by
00:13:57.560 Myself
00:13:58.020 I'm going
00:13:58.540 To die
00:13:58.860 My breaks
00:13:59.320 Will be
00:13:59.560 Cut
00:13:59.800 Or something
00:14:00.180 Mysterious
00:14:00.760 But if
00:14:01.100 A half
00:14:01.620 Dozen
00:14:01.920 Of us
00:14:02.200 Can just
00:14:02.520 Join
00:14:02.760 Together
00:14:03.140 We'll
00:14:03.840 Probably
00:14:04.140 Survive
00:14:04.680 And make
00:14:05.000 It happen
00:14:05.440 And so
00:14:06.840 We all
00:14:07.180 Said we're
00:14:07.540 In
00:14:07.700 And you
00:14:10.020 Know I
00:14:10.200 Think that's
00:14:10.780 The key
00:14:11.200 When the
00:14:11.900 Most powerful
00:14:12.420 Man in
00:14:12.820 The world
00:14:15.840 Understand you'd
00:14:16.520 Probably do
00:14:16.960 Anything to
00:14:17.520 Save your
00:14:17.880 Child even
00:14:18.520 You know
00:14:19.280 Something like
00:14:19.860 That and
00:14:20.440 You can't
00:14:21.100 Tell me that
00:14:21.620 A conversation
00:14:22.240 Like that
00:14:22.740 The lowliest
00:14:23.400 FBI agent
00:14:24.200 In existence
00:14:24.860 If he heard
00:14:25.720 That on a
00:14:26.140 Wiretap he
00:14:26.880 Is obligated
00:14:27.780 To run
00:14:28.520 That up the
00:14:28.980 Ladder and
00:14:29.320 I know
00:14:29.580 Darn well
00:14:30.740 That call
00:14:32.080 Had to come
00:14:32.900 To the ear
00:14:33.400 Of the AG
00:14:33.900 And in
00:14:34.500 Turn whoever
00:14:35.320 Else
00:14:35.700 Of course now
00:14:36.660 I'm not
00:14:37.740 Trying to be
00:14:38.160 Mean but
00:14:38.660 We apparently
00:14:39.480 Had a zombie
00:14:40.460 In the office
00:14:41.140 And we had
00:14:41.660 Other people
00:14:42.120 Unknowns to us
00:14:42.960 I'm elected
00:14:43.560 Being the
00:14:44.000 President for
00:14:44.700 A while now
00:14:45.780 And I
00:14:46.560 Wouldn't doubt
00:14:47.020 That Hunter
00:14:47.440 Biden didn't
00:14:48.040 Even hear that
00:14:48.640 Call of me
00:14:49.340 And may have
00:14:50.220 Been the one
00:14:50.760 Of the ones
00:14:51.160 Saying to
00:14:51.720 Whoever over
00:14:52.540 At DOJ
00:14:53.140 Hey help me
00:14:54.000 Come you know
00:14:54.660 Get rid of
00:14:55.220 This guy
00:14:55.620 Who knows
00:14:56.060 What was said
00:14:56.680 We'll never
00:14:57.360 Know but I
00:14:58.020 Know you know
00:14:58.720 God willing
00:14:59.380 God put
00:15:00.220 President Trump
00:15:00.900 In there I
00:15:01.420 Know that you
00:15:02.180 Know he's had a
00:15:02.680 Hand in our
00:15:03.080 Country from the
00:15:03.740 Founding and
00:15:04.440 God bless
00:15:05.160 President Trump
00:15:06.580 He's put people
00:15:07.220 Like Pan Bondi 0.74
00:15:08.120 And Dan
00:15:08.800 Bongino and
00:15:09.520 Cash Patel in
00:15:10.320 And I think
00:15:10.720 They're you know
00:15:11.220 Ed Martin my
00:15:12.280 God and that
00:15:13.740 Is that talk
00:15:14.620 About irony too
00:15:15.580 Have a guy
00:15:16.460 Who's not
00:15:17.020 Approved for
00:15:17.680 The DC job
00:15:18.800 And end up
00:15:19.420 Where he's at
00:15:19.980 I mean that's
00:15:20.740 That's a blessing
00:15:21.400 Itself to have
00:15:22.300 Him handling
00:15:23.120 Pardons and
00:15:23.740 Other things
00:15:24.200 I truly believe
00:15:25.020 They're going to
00:15:25.360 Clean up this
00:15:25.940 Mess
00:15:26.320 All right

00:16:39.000 Than anybody
00:16:39.780 In this place
00:16:40.740 Now
00:16:41.880 They treated him

00:16:55.940 He was pardoned
00:16:57.800 Yesterday
00:16:58.300 Memorial Day
00:16:59.160 By President
00:17:00.400 Donald Trump
00:17:01.360 Of trumped up
00:17:02.860 Charges
00:17:03.380 The sheriff
00:17:04.680 Has served
00:17:05.320 Valiantly
00:17:05.940 There's a
00:17:06.580 Famous story
00:17:07.680 About him
00:17:08.140 In December
00:17:08.620 Of 2021
00:17:09.360 When the police
00:17:10.600 Were in pursuit
00:17:11.180 Of an active
00:17:11.960 Shooter
00:17:12.460 Who traveled
00:17:13.540 Across three
00:17:14.200 Counties
00:17:14.620 Firing an AK-47
00:17:15.900 At both the police
00:17:17.380 And citizens
00:17:18.140 And he was stopped
00:17:19.240 Only when Sheriff
00:17:20.620 Jenkins exchanged fire
00:17:21.940 With 19 rounds
00:17:23.180 Killing that suspect
00:17:24.560 Before he could reach
00:17:26.100 His target
00:17:26.720 Of killing
00:17:27.340 His own family
00:17:28.840 Give you some idea
00:17:30.040 What a courageous
00:17:31.060 And valiant man
00:17:31.980 Is joining us
00:17:33.320 Here today
00:17:34.160 What they do
00:17:35.700 You experience
00:17:36.660 As Sheriff Jenkins
00:17:37.480 Is they
00:17:38.000 Try to destroy
00:17:39.140 You financially
00:17:40.100 So you lose
00:17:41.880 The resources
00:17:42.700 To fight
00:17:43.200 You sold
00:17:44.240 Your home
00:17:44.780 And spent
00:17:45.160 Everything
00:17:45.560 You had
00:17:46.580 For your legal
00:17:47.200 Defense
00:17:47.680 You had nothing
00:17:48.940 Left to fight
00:17:49.720 An appeal with
00:17:50.940 You and your
00:17:52.460 Brothers
00:17:52.740 Have served
00:17:53.220 Honorably for
00:17:53.880 Many years
00:17:54.700 In law enforcement
00:17:55.460 You're the proud
00:17:57.120 Parent of two
00:17:58.260 Teenagers
00:17:58.880 And you care
00:18:01.360 For your elderly
00:18:02.120 Parents
00:18:02.640 I think this was
00:18:03.940 An extraordinary
00:18:04.640 Act of both
00:18:06.100 Mercy and justice
00:18:07.360 By President
00:18:08.460 Donald Trump
00:18:09.320 But I must tell
00:18:10.540 You I was happy
00:18:12.380 To join those
00:18:13.480 Including General
00:18:14.220 Flynn and Ed
00:18:15.760 Martin in urging
00:18:16.680 The president to
00:18:18.040 Extend clemency
00:18:19.240 In your case
00:18:20.060 But the support
00:18:21.580 You had from
00:18:22.960 Sheriffs across
00:18:24.140 The country
00:18:24.700 The number
00:18:25.620 Of sheriffs
00:18:26.440 Who contacted
00:18:27.900 Me to bring
00:18:29.260 My attention
00:18:29.980 To your case
00:18:31.140 And to tell
00:18:32.280 Me that you
00:18:32.800 Had been wrong
00:18:33.580 You were an
00:18:34.440 Honest decent
00:18:35.520 Man as well
00:18:36.340 As a courageous
00:18:37.480 Law enforcement
00:18:38.560 Officer
00:18:39.120 And to urge
00:18:40.660 Me to get
00:18:41.480 Involved

00:19:53.720 Help if
00:19:54.180 They need

00:20:01.860 Grateful
00:20:02.340 Well
00:20:02.980 It's
00:20:03.140 Yeah
00:20:03.300 Another
00:20:03.700 Example
00:20:04.280 Of the
00:20:04.580 Power
00:20:04.980 Of prayer
00:20:05.520 Because I
00:20:06.140 Can tell
00:20:06.540 You there
00:20:07.520 Were literally
00:20:08.420 Thousands of
00:20:09.380 People praying
00:20:10.100 For you
00:20:11.120 And your
00:20:12.160 Family through
00:20:12.760 This entire
00:20:13.380 Ordeal
00:20:13.900 Prayer sustained
00:20:15.240 Me and my
00:20:15.920 Family when
00:20:17.100 They tried to
00:20:17.740 Frame me
00:20:18.380 Because I
00:20:19.180 Refused to
00:20:19.860 Testify falsely
00:20:21.240 Against President
00:20:22.120 Donald Trump
00:20:22.820 That's the
00:20:23.480 Entire reason
00:20:24.260 For their
00:20:25.660 Charges against
00:20:26.440 Me
00:20:26.760 After all
00:20:27.840 You can't
00:20:28.260 Lie under
00:20:28.780 Oath about
00:20:29.240 Russian collusion
00:20:30.080 That never
00:20:30.720 Actually happened
00:20:31.520 Can you
00:20:32.240 So I have
00:20:32.980 Been in your
00:20:33.520 Shoes my
00:20:34.020 Friend
00:20:34.380 And the
00:20:36.360 Lord heard
00:20:36.960 Those prayers
00:20:37.560 Which is
00:20:38.340 Why the
00:20:38.860 President
00:20:39.260 Became well
00:20:40.640 Aware and
00:20:41.200 Acquainted with
00:20:41.940 Your case
00:20:42.440 And the
00:20:43.020 Fact that
00:20:43.480 You had
00:20:44.300 Also just
00:20:45.340 As they
00:20:45.580 Tried to
00:20:46.000 Do to
00:20:46.240 Him
00:20:46.480 Just they
00:20:47.280 Tried to
00:20:47.640 Do to
00:20:47.880 General
00:20:48.180 Flynn
00:20:48.540 Just like
00:20:49.300 They
00:20:49.540 Successfully
00:20:50.200 Did to
00:20:50.660 Paul
00:20:51.100 Manafort
00:20:51.600 Just like
00:20:52.660 They tried
00:20:53.400 To do
00:20:53.880 To me
00:20:54.220 That you
00:20:55.080 Were framed
00:20:55.780 For strictly
00:20:56.660 Political
00:20:57.580 Reasons
00:20:58.300 I want to
00:20:58.960 Thank you
00:20:59.260 For joining
00:20:59.700 Us today
