00:00:00.089 --> 00:00:00.989
Hello, my friends.
00:00:00.990 --> 00:00:02.100
And welcome back to yet.
00:00:02.160 --> 00:00:04.830
Another episode of watching the Watchers live.
00:00:04.831 --> 00:00:06.030
My name is Robert ruler.
00:00:06.179 --> 00:00:18.570
I am a criminal defense attorney here at the RNR law group in the always beautiful and sunny Scottsdale Arizona, where my team and I over the course of many years have represented thousands of good people facing criminal charges.
00:00:18.571 --> 00:00:23.640
And throughout our time in practice, we have seen a lot of problems with our justice system.
00:00:23.640 --> 00:00:26.219
I'm talking about misconduct involving the police.
00:00:26.221 --> 00:00:28.440
We have prosecutors behaving poorly.
00:00:28.440 --> 00:00:33.630
We've got judges, not particularly interested in a little thing called a justice.
00:00:33.780 --> 00:00:47.039
And it all starts with the politicians, the people at the top, the ones who write the rules and pass the laws that they expect you and me to follow, but sometimes have a little bit of difficulty doing so themselves.
00:00:47.040 --> 00:01:00.299
That's why we started this show called watching the Watchers so that together with your help, we can shine that big, beautiful spotlight of accountability and transparency down upon our system.
00:01:00.420 --> 00:01:02.640
With the hope of finding justice.
00:01:02.789 --> 00:01:16.950
We're grateful that you are here and with us today in this episode of watching the Watchers, we're talking about Kyle Rittenhouse day, one of the trial, of course, this is a big, big case that a lot of people are paying attention to, including us.
00:01:17.189 --> 00:01:21.719
A lot of our coverage on this channel has been about the Kyle Rittenhouse case.
00:01:21.870 --> 00:01:24.420
And so we're going to be taking a deep dive into it, day one.
00:01:24.569 --> 00:01:27.510
We're going to be looking at what happened in court today.
00:01:28.049 --> 00:01:32.909
Courts judges name is Bruce Schroeder, and it was a big Bruce Schroeder day to day.
00:01:33.060 --> 00:01:36.299
He was giving us a lot of the details about how the trial is going to unfold.
00:01:36.480 --> 00:01:41.129
Looking like two weeks of trial today, we're right in the middle of jury selection.
00:01:41.730 --> 00:01:48.090
And so we have several clips of the judge explaining how this is all going to work, how jury selection is going to unfold.
00:01:48.269 --> 00:01:58.920
And then clips of actually the two different attorneys who are doing the questioning one for the prosecution, Thomas binger and the defense attorney, Corey[inaudible].
00:01:59.340 --> 00:02:03.540
We're asking questions of the various jurors today, and we've got a bunch of different clips of them.
00:02:03.540 --> 00:02:04.530
So we'll go through that.
00:02:04.799 --> 00:02:09.030
Not super interesting, but we are going to be getting our bearings straight on this case.
00:02:09.031 -->
Load full transcript
00:02:12.120
We're going to be spending the next two weeks or so covering this in depth.
00:02:12.121 --> 00:02:16.020
And so we got to make sure that we've got our framework in order.
00:02:16.349 --> 00:02:21.300
Then we're going to change gears in our second segment, we're going to be looking at Alec Baldwin over the weekend.
00:02:21.300 --> 00:02:26.430
He came out and gave this, I think it was spontaneous or was supposed to be spontaneous.
00:02:26.639 --> 00:02:31.590
This little press conference, this a sort of, he was being chased around by some media.
00:02:31.591 --> 00:02:37.080
People pulled over on the side of the road, went out and had a conversation with these people who were following him.
00:02:37.469 --> 00:02:50.250
And so even though it was about a three minute conversation, we do have a transcript and we can go through it and see what he was talking about here and see if we can glean out from this, any of his defenses, of course, as they pertain to the rust shooting.
00:02:50.400 --> 00:02:51.569
So we're going to talk about that.
00:02:51.750 --> 00:03:00.520
And then in our third segment, we are right up against the clock on some hard deadlines for vaccine mandates that are being imposed all across the country.
00:03:00.759 --> 00:03:08.770
And so we're going to check in on those out of New York city, F D N Y the, that they've closed like 26 firehouses in New York city.
00:03:08.770 --> 00:03:13.509
So 26 fire departments closed because of a self-imposed mandate.
00:03:14.080 --> 00:03:15.340
We'll check in with them.
00:03:15.341 --> 00:03:18.520
We'll check in with the U S prisons that are facing staffing shortages.
00:03:18.669 --> 00:03:23.409
We're going to check in with Los Angeles county saying that their sheriffs are going to be gone with the wind.
00:03:23.590 --> 00:03:33.759
And then of course, we're going to take our, our eyes over to the Marine Corps, because they're about to boot out a bunch of Marines if they don't bend the knee, like is expected in this administration.
00:03:33.969 --> 00:03:41.919
And so if you want to be a part of the show, the place to do that is over@watchingthewatchersdotlocals.com.
00:03:42.460 --> 00:03:49.750
And somebody was just sending me a message about the form saying that the form doesn't match the topics.
00:03:49.751 --> 00:03:58.210
Let's see that let's let's, let's do a quick correction check on this, make sure that we're okay on the form so that the topics match.
00:03:58.211 --> 00:04:02.349
I can't tell you to use the form if the topics don't match, but I think they do.
00:04:02.350 --> 00:04:03.520
I thought I updated the form.
00:04:04.240 --> 00:04:04.509
All right.
00:04:04.510 --> 00:04:12.069
So the forum looks like this Rittenhouse jury selection, Baldwin public statement, and the New York fire department in the Marines exited.
00:04:12.090 --> 00:04:13.419
That's the form to use.
00:04:13.420 --> 00:04:18.430
If you are over@watchingthewatchersdotlocals.com, if
you're a supporter there, use that form.
00:04:18.579 --> 00:04:21.610
We're going to go ahead and take your questions as they come in.
00:04:21.790 --> 00:04:25.000
And it's, it's very helpful if you keep them in order of the segments.
00:04:25.000 --> 00:04:26.709
Otherwise, I kind of just got to skip over it.
00:04:26.980 --> 00:04:36.490
So it is, uh, watching the watchers.locals.com is the place to be, if you want to be a part of the show, the live stream, of course, four o'clock Arizona time, every day, weekday, and the clips.
00:04:36.519 --> 00:04:45.310
Those all get uploaded over here to the clips channel, watching the Watchers, Robert ruler, Esq clips on YouTube.
00:04:45.339 --> 00:04:45.610
Okay.
00:04:45.819 --> 00:04:48.779
So I think we've got all the, uh, what's the word?
00:04:48.781 --> 00:04:51.730
What's the word, clerical work, housekeeping.
00:04:52.089 --> 00:04:56.889
All the housekeeping is in order, which means we can go ahead and get started with the actual show.
00:04:57.399 --> 00:05:01.449
Kyle Rittenhouse trial today started day one jury selection.
00:05:01.451 --> 00:05:03.040
We're going to be covering this in depth.
00:05:03.040 --> 00:05:06.250
We've spent a lot of time talking about Kyle Rittenhouse, his case.
00:05:06.250 --> 00:05:11.199
In fact, the big reason this channel is as successful as it ever has been is because of Kyle Rittenhouse.
00:05:11.379 --> 00:05:20.680
We did a very deep dive back in August when this happened and made a very strong case, in my opinion, my humble opinion as a defense lawyer for why this was self-defense.
00:05:20.680 --> 00:05:22.689
And so we're going to be covering this in depth.
00:05:22.720 --> 00:05:31.209
I think it's a very important case for the concept of self-defense, uh, that exists fundamentally in our concept of law here as Americans.
00:05:31.329 --> 00:05:34.600
So I want to start off by making sure we have our foundation in order.
00:05:34.720 --> 00:05:36.220
Let's take a look at the trial board.
00:05:36.339 --> 00:05:39.730
We can see here, we've got all the relevant parties in order.
00:05:39.790 --> 00:05:42.610
And since we've been following this case, this has continued to fill out.
00:05:42.610 --> 00:05:50.230
It will continue to fill out, but let's run through and make sure we've got our housekeeping in order, Kyle Rittenhouse, over here, we can see he is the defendant.
00:05:50.230 --> 00:05:57.470
So we're going to put him on the right we've got Mark Richards, his attorney, we've got Corey cheer reef scene, who is his defense attorney or cheer, uh, feces.
00:05:57.490 --> 00:06:01.850
I'm going to say that wrong throughout the entirety of the trial, but he did a lot of the questioning today.
00:06:01.850 --> 00:06:03.139
Today was jury selection.
00:06:03.350 --> 00:06:04.370
And Mr.
00:06:04.819 --> 00:06:07.670
Chira FEC did most of the void Deere for the defense.
00:06:07.850 --> 00:06:08.810
We saw Dr.
00:06:08.810 --> 00:06:19.399
John Black
was an expert witness that the defense proffered forward we'll probably see him in the trial when the defense presents their case, but we're not real sure yet on the left, we've got Thomas binger.
00:06:19.399 --> 00:06:20.329
He's the prosecutor.
00:06:20.331 --> 00:06:22.129
You can see him in this beautiful photograph.
00:06:22.250 --> 00:06:24.439
He is joined by his assistant prosecutor.
00:06:24.440 --> 00:06:32.899
James Crouse also goes by Jim, very nice guy, Jim Jim gage, CRO scoots is also the assailant or the victim, right?
00:06:32.901 --> 00:06:36.529
So this is one of the victims he is still alive.
00:06:36.560 --> 00:06:43.009
And so, uh, he's I put him up top here near the prosecutors, because he's going to be sort of, you know, communicating with them.
00:06:43.160 --> 00:06:47.509
He's sort of the, uh, the only, uh, you know, living victim who was shot.
00:06:47.720 --> 00:06:54.199
So then beneath him, we've got Anthony Huber who is deceased, who was the escape order over here?
00:06:54.201 --> 00:06:57.170
I have a different photograph of him as we progress.
00:06:57.350 --> 00:06:58.910
And then we have Joseph Rosenbalm.
00:06:58.911 --> 00:07:05.089
Joseph Rosenbaum was sort of the first person who was shot in the altercation when Kyle was sort of a running away.
00:07:05.091 --> 00:07:10.910
In my opinion, other people might say that he was provoking the, the running before he turned around and shot Rosenbaum.
00:07:11.120 --> 00:07:14.060
We also have Richard McGuinness could not find a good photograph of him.
00:07:14.060 --> 00:07:16.310
So I didn't want to use, uh, an incorrect photo.
00:07:16.459 --> 00:07:19.459
Richard McGuinness was one of the reporters who had a conversation with Kyle.
00:07:19.610 --> 00:07:25.399
We have unknown person, don't have an identity on this person, but he is in the charges as we're going to see.
00:07:25.639 --> 00:07:26.360
And then we've got Mr.
00:07:26.360 --> 00:07:26.990
Robert Willis.
00:07:26.990 --> 00:07:30.170
We heard from him earlier, don't think he's going to be relevant.
00:07:30.170 --> 00:07:33.529
His picture is probably going away soon, but he was part of the prosecution.
00:07:33.740 --> 00:07:38.899
That was an expert witness that they were going to, to, uh, potentially bring forward.
00:07:39.139 --> 00:07:40.610
And so we've got some new additions here.
00:07:40.610 --> 00:07:43.279
We added Richard McGuinness, we added the unknown person.
00:07:43.281 --> 00:07:46.610
We added, uh, the jurors down here at the bottom.
00:07:46.759 --> 00:07:52.339
And so we are going to be looking at 20 jurors, as you can see, this is something that the judge has indicated.
00:07:52.579 --> 00:07:53.899
And so we'll go through this, right?
00:07:53.901 --> 00:07:56.480
We're going to be injury selection today and tomorrow.
00:07:56.750 --> 00:07:59.990
Uh, and, and he, he said he wanted to get it done in one day.
00:08:00.199 --> 00:08:06.439
We'll see if he gets it done tomorrow,
but it may bleed into a third day because this is a case that every single person has heard about.
00:08:06.889 --> 00:08:15.589
He actually had a line of questioning today when he was talking to the jurors, uh, judge Schrader said, anybody here, how about, rather than have you heard about the case?
00:08:15.800 --> 00:08:18.290
Anybody here not heard of it?
00:08:18.500 --> 00:08:19.069
No hands.
00:08:20.029 --> 00:08:20.240
Right.
00:08:20.240 --> 00:08:21.620
So everybody knew what was going on.
00:08:21.800 --> 00:08:23.240
Let's take a quick look at the charges.
00:08:23.240 --> 00:08:24.709
This is from the court's docket.
00:08:24.711 --> 00:08:29.420
I pulled this today wanting to make sure we had the correct charges in order.
00:08:29.600 --> 00:08:32.779
And you can see here, they actually did jockey around a little bit.
00:08:32.780 --> 00:08:36.019
They, they moved some of the charges around it doesn't matter here.
00:08:36.019 --> 00:08:45.409
What we're looking at first degree, reckless homicide endangerment, a reckless endangerment, reckless endangerment, intentional homicide attempted intentional homicide, and then possession of a dangerous weapon.
00:08:45.649 --> 00:08:50.240
This is all the sort of the complicated statutes, modifiers, all of that.
00:08:50.240 --> 00:08:56.669
Here's really what we're looking at when you break it down, uh, to the, to the nuts and bolts, first degree homicide, right?
00:08:56.671 --> 00:08:58.049
This was reckless homicide.
00:08:58.051 --> 00:08:59.519
This is for Joseph Rosenbaum.
00:08:59.520 --> 00:09:05.129
And so each charge connects to one particular victim, as we're going to see, then we have reckless endangerment.
00:09:05.370 --> 00:09:07.019
That was Richard McGinnis.
00:09:07.020 --> 00:09:07.860
That was the reporter.
00:09:07.870 --> 00:09:15.840
The reporter was not shot or killed, but he was, uh, he was really behind Rosenbalm when Kyle shot Rosenbalm.
00:09:15.841 --> 00:09:24.029
And so, you know, some of the bullets, presumably sort of whizzed past Richard McGuinness, which is what prompted the reckless endangerment charge.
00:09:24.030 --> 00:09:25.320
It was, he was endangered.
00:09:25.500 --> 00:09:27.299
Kyle Rittenhouse, allegedly was reckless.
00:09:27.509 --> 00:09:29.250
That's what justifies that charge.
00:09:29.399 --> 00:09:33.690
There was another unknown person who was also presumably sort of in the line of fire.
00:09:33.840 --> 00:09:36.720
And so also a reckless endangerment for that individual.
00:09:36.929 --> 00:09:39.269
Then we have intentional homicide, right?
00:09:39.270 --> 00:09:42.990
And this is, we have reckless homicide and we have intentional homicide.
00:09:43.169 --> 00:09:51.360
Now this was after the fact, this is when Anthony Huber, this was also the skateboarder that we saw here in this photograph who was sort of swinging the skateboard.
00:09:52.019 --> 00:09:53.429
This is his separate photograph.
00:09:54.120 --> 00:10:01.110
And you
can see intentional homicide is count four saying that Rittenhouse intentionally shot and killed him, which he did.
00:10:01.110 --> 00:10:01.379
Right.
00:10:01.529 --> 00:10:03.299
He actually did shoot and kill him.
00:10:03.509 --> 00:10:07.350
But the allegation here, or the defense is self defense.
00:10:07.350 --> 00:10:08.279
That this was, yeah.
00:10:08.309 --> 00:10:13.830
I mean, he, he did intend to take a gun and shoot and pointed and pull the trigger, but it was a justified killing.
00:10:14.159 --> 00:10:15.450
It was justified shooting.
00:10:15.690 --> 00:10:19.559
So then we have count five, attempted intentional homicide gauge gross.
00:10:19.561 --> 00:10:22.889
Kreutz the other, uh, this is, this is inaccurate.
00:10:22.890 --> 00:10:23.639
This is not to see.
00:10:23.640 --> 00:10:24.389
So I'll fix that.
00:10:24.539 --> 00:10:25.559
He is still alive.
00:10:25.710 --> 00:10:32.519
He is, uh, actually he got shot in the elbow, essentially, a lot of damage to his arm, but he is still alive and then count six possession of a weapon.
00:10:32.520 --> 00:10:35.250
So we're going to be paying most attention to these charges.
00:10:35.250 --> 00:10:40.860
There was a seventh count, something for, uh, you know, disobeying a curfew violation.
00:10:40.860 --> 00:10:46.860
There was some sort of public order law that was in place that technically they charged him with, but it's not real.
00:10:46.899 --> 00:10:50.730
I mean, it's not really relevant if I can be so Frank.
00:10:51.000 --> 00:10:51.269
Okay.
00:10:51.270 --> 00:10:59.009
So let's get into the actual clips now that we have our bearings straight, our backbone not going to do this every day, just wanted to get our bearings straight about where this is all starting.
00:10:59.220 --> 00:11:01.529
And then we're going to dive in on this.
00:11:01.530 --> 00:11:08.190
When we get expert witnesses or additional witnesses or whomever is going to be testifying, we're going to bring them in, add them to the board, make sure that we categorize them.
00:11:08.490 --> 00:11:18.179
And we're also going to do the same thing with the jurors, at least as far as we can, given the information that is provided to us, which is going to be a little bit different here on this channel.
00:11:18.181 --> 00:11:20.070
We spent a lot of time on the Derek Shovan case.
00:11:20.309 --> 00:11:25.740
And if you recall, we had a lot of information about those jurors because they had individualized avoid deer.
00:11:25.740 --> 00:11:27.899
They got questioned individually one by one.
00:11:28.230 --> 00:11:34.230
And so we're going to get less information in this trial because presumably we're not going to be doing that well, we'll see, we'll see where this goes.
00:11:34.379 --> 00:11:37.289
But the point here is we're going to break this down bit by bit.
00:11:37.320 --> 00:11:40.409
We're going to start off by getting our bearings straight from the judge.
00:11:40.410 --> 00:11:47.070
This is judge Schrader, who was in court today, laying out what the next two weeks are going to look like here he is.
00:11:47.779 --> 00:11:53.740
And, but you'll, you should count on being in this building in the jury room for the, uh, for the duration, the trial.
00:11:54.730 --> 00:11:56.500
Um, so that's number one.
00:11:56.500 --> 00:11:58.690
And number two is the duration of the trial.
00:11:59.740 --> 00:12:24.940
Uh, there is a I'm going to place this ad well under one in 100, uh, less than a 1% chance that for some reason I would re I would order during the trial that you would be, uh, sequestered, which would mean that you would, uh, be housed in a hotel at night, uh, in individual rooms.
00:12:25.990 --> 00:12:28.480
And you'd be provided with all of your meals all day long.
00:12:29.350 --> 00:12:32.950
You'd have limited access to television and internet and that type of thing.
00:12:32.951 --> 00:12:41.769
But, um, um, I, I have not done that since I was statutorily required to do so.
00:12:42.909 --> 00:12:51.429
Um, when I started in the system 50 years ago, on a case of this nature, the jury was required to be sequestered.
00:12:51.460 --> 00:12:56.740
So I'm familiar with the process and I know how onerous it is.
00:12:57.190 --> 00:13:03.279
And, uh, so I will resist it in every way I can't, but I can't rule it out entirely.
00:13:03.280 --> 00:13:05.440
I, as I say, I'm being very honest with you.
00:13:05.441 --> 00:13:13.870
When I tell you there is a, less than a 1% chance in my estimation that we would come to that, but I don't want to spring it on you suddenly.
00:13:14.889 --> 00:13:16.149
Um, and that's pretty painful.
00:13:17.019 --> 00:13:17.350
Okay.
00:13:17.350 --> 00:13:28.509
So jury sequestration one in a hundred, very small likelihood of that, but he does say length of the trial about two weeks, maybe two days plus or minus two days starts at 9:00 AM.
00:13:28.510 --> 00:13:31.000
If you listen to the whole spiel, he goes at right 9:00 AM.
00:13:31.000 --> 00:13:36.970
We're going to go to lunch, going to have a lunch break, going to take a break in the morning, break in the afternoon, come on, back down in the afternoon.
00:13:36.971 --> 00:13:41.919
And we're going to get right all the way back to it until about four 30 or five every day for the next two weeks.
00:13:41.921 --> 00:13:49.690
And so he's sort of, you know, giving the jury a big discussion about how all this works, because for most people they've never sat on a jury before.
00:13:49.750 --> 00:13:50.919
This is the first time in court.
00:13:50.921 --> 00:13:52.059
They've never been charged with a crime.
00:13:52.061 --> 00:13:53.470
They don't know how any of this stuff works.
00:13:53.830 --> 00:13:59.259
And so it's, it's sort of a, an educating the jury about this big long road.
00:13:59.260 --> 00:14:01.539
You're about to be, uh, going down.
00:14:01.541 --> 00:14:07.360
So brace yourselves, he outlines for us that we're going to have 20
jurors.
00:14:07.360 --> 00:14:09.009
And so a lot of people go 20 jurors.
00:14:09.010 --> 00:14:09.759
That's a lot of jurors.
00:14:09.760 --> 00:14:10.659
What are you talking about?
00:14:11.080 --> 00:14:20.080
Uh, on, uh, on other juries, people are used to seeing, you know, eight or 12, uh, sort of a lower number where you've, uh, well, you don't have this many seats.
00:14:20.139 --> 00:14:23.019
And so he's going to explain why it is so big.
00:14:23.289 --> 00:14:25.600
And it is interesting, this sort of working in reverse.
00:14:25.720 --> 00:14:25.870
So, right.
00:14:25.870 --> 00:14:28.179
This is a 20 person jury panel.
00:14:28.389 --> 00:14:31.029
Normally, you know, you're going to have a 12.
00:14:31.179 --> 00:14:39.100
So some states don't even have juries for lower level offenses, but maybe six plus one for a seven, you know, and it just sort of varies twenties, a very, very big number.
00:14:39.340 --> 00:14:45.970
And, um, what you can see from this judge is he explains how it works here.
00:14:46.029 --> 00:14:50.899
And so let's listen in, this is a judge Schroeder on void ear.
00:14:50.900 --> 00:14:51.320
Here is
00:14:53.960 --> 00:14:53.960
There.
00:14:53.970 --> 00:14:58.370
You're probably wondering, what's he talking about 20 jurors who ever heard of that?
00:15:00.769 --> 00:15:03.799
You hear on television sometimes they'll talk about alternate jurors.
00:15:04.370 --> 00:15:05.600
We don't have any audits.
00:15:05.629 --> 00:15:12.259
Everybody who was picked as a full fledged juror, the selection process takes place at the end.
00:15:13.100 --> 00:15:26.960
If, when we go to verdict, when we go to deliberation at the end of the trial, if there are more than 12 jurors, then we will strike off whatever number is necessary to get down to that number.
00:15:29.059 --> 00:15:31.039
So maybe it'll be eight.
00:15:31.700 --> 00:15:32.840
Maybe it'll be two.
00:15:33.440 --> 00:15:34.070
We don't know yet.
00:15:34.100 --> 00:15:43.100
It depends on how many, if there's any family emergencies or illnesses that mean that we have to discharge a juror.
00:15:44.029 --> 00:15:44.389
Okay.
00:15:44.419 --> 00:15:46.850
So again, not super interesting, right?
00:15:46.850 --> 00:15:48.500
But it's the nuts and bolts of how this works.
00:15:48.679 --> 00:15:50.120
So we're going to get to 20.
00:15:50.419 --> 00:15:55.070
Then we're going to go work our way back down to 12 when the time is comped, because something might happen, right?
00:15:55.071 --> 00:15:55.970
It's a two week trial.
00:15:56.120 --> 00:16:01.429
And so if you get 20 people on there, while somebody is going to get sick, it might be a COVID infection somewhere, right?
00:16:01.431 --> 00:16:02.659
Something might go wrong.
00:16:02.779 --> 00:16:07.639
You might have Maxine waters from California, come parachuting in there, you know, causing a bunch of ruckus.
00:16:07.789 --> 00:16:09.320
So you never know what can happen.
00:16:09.470 --> 00:16:12.830
And so they're going to get a full 20, they only need 12.
00:16:13.039 --> 00:16:22.039
So they're going to work their way back down now in a previous, in previous coverage on this channel, when we talked about Derek Shovan, we put together a table that looks something like this.
00:16:22.039 --> 00:16:26.480
You may remember that we had the different emoji, symbolizing, all the different jurors.
00:16:26.480 --> 00:16:31.039
We had the race, the sexy age, the profession, you know, we took various notes about all of them.
00:16:31.580 --> 00:16:43.519
And we didn't get any detail about any of that today, because the way that this process worked for voice deer, which is the questioning of the jurors, what happened was they, they, they, they, they did it a little bit differently than Shovan.
00:16:43.520 --> 00:16:46.250
So in Shovan what happened was they sent out questionnaires, right?
00:16:46.250 --> 00:16:51.110
They said, did you ever attend a protest for, uh, you know, racial injustice or something like that?
00:16:51.350 --> 00:16:58.399
And if somebody marked, yes, they would call those jurors in and say, uh, juror 13, did you ever do anything that was in question?
00:16:58.490 --> 00:16:59.299
It said, you did, did you?
00:16:59.301 --> 00:17:00.169
And they say, yes, I did.
00:17:00.171 --> 00:17:02.570
Well, can you set that aside and be fair and impartial?
00:17:02.570 --> 00:17:03.230
Yes, I can.
00:17:03.409 --> 00:17:05.329
But there was a big lead up into that, right?
00:17:05.330 --> 00:17:06.200
They'd say, well, what do you do?
00:17:06.210 --> 00:17:06.769
I'm a nurse.
00:17:06.770 --> 00:17:08.690
So, uh, you know, I teach elementary school.
00:17:08.691 --> 00:17:13.009
I, you know, I, I raised puppies, whatever, and we got to get to know the person.
00:17:13.279 --> 00:17:20.329
And there were people in the courtroom that would then also be watching that line of questioning and they'd say, okay, well that was a, you know, a white woman in her forties.
00:17:20.599 --> 00:17:23.990
And we would be able to sort of glean together what the jury looked like.
00:17:24.200 --> 00:17:25.339
That's not what happened here today.
00:17:25.340 --> 00:17:29.660
We ha we had sort of a big panel, you know, full of, uh, you know, 80 to a hundred people.
00:17:29.661 --> 00:17:30.769
And we couldn't see any of it.
00:17:30.770 --> 00:17:49.799
I was not there, but, but the reports say about 70 to 80 people and they would be sort of, uh, asked as a panel, big, you know, group questions, for example, one we're gonna get to is, uh, does anybody have any trepidation, any concerns about the word AR 15 or about, you know, assault weapon or something like that?
00:17:49.799 --> 00:17:57.029
If you heard that Kyle Rittenhouse had an assault weapon, would that automatically lead you to be prejudicial against him?
00:17:57.030 --> 00:18:00.809
Would you find that he is guilty just due to the fact that he had an assault weapon?
00:18:01.410 --> 00:18:03.599
Because that's, that's very scary to a lot of people, right?
00:18:03.601 --> 00:18:10.170
Just the fact that somebody might have an AR 15 or an assault rifle or whatever, you know, whatever is sort of indoctrinated into their head.
00:18:10.171 --> 00:18:17.069
That thing is that might cause them to think that's a terrorist, that's a murderer, that's a white whatever, even though it's a perfectly legal gun.
00:18:17.279 --> 00:18:21.630
And so they just, they ask that question to everybody and then they, they raised their hands.
00:18:22.019 --> 00:18:25.950
So juror 35 raises their hand, says, yes, that gun is very scary to me.
00:18:26.250 --> 00:18:33.480
And then they get to ask some questions about that one particular person, that one issue, but you lose a lot of the other inquisition of, of that person.
00:18:33.480 --> 00:18:33.630
Right.
00:18:33.631 --> 00:18:34.109
Well, okay.
00:18:34.111 --> 00:18:43.470
So you get one answer about that, but is that a teacher, is that a nurse, a doctor, a mother, you know, somebody who is in construction, do they draw, what do they do?
00:18:43.650 --> 00:18:44.160
We don't know.
00:18:44.369 --> 00:18:46.619
And so it's harder and harder to put this together.
00:18:46.621 --> 00:18:55.200
We really don't know what the makeup of the jury is at this point, but we do have some generalizations that we can gather here.
00:18:55.201 --> 00:18:57.869
We have somebody named proof and hearsay on Twitter.
00:18:58.410 --> 00:19:02.549
They say of the 70 or so potential jurors in the courtroom for the Rittenhouse trial.
00:19:02.550 --> 00:19:20.400
So 70 people in there as part of the big panel, there are three black women, one Hispanic man rest, mostly older white group Rittenhouse, shout out to Matt Mayan, silver of a, uh, of a news agency pooling for reporters who did not win the lottery for seats inside the courtroom.
00:19:20.400 --> 00:19:20.579
Right.
00:19:20.580 --> 00:19:22.049
So super limited in there.
00:19:23.160 --> 00:19:25.829
And so only a certain number of people can see what is actually going on.
00:19:25.830 --> 00:19:29.069
So somebody reports those numbers and so you can see right.
00:19:29.789 --> 00:19:30.990
Um, okay.
00:19:31.440 --> 00:19:33.000
You know, we, we, we're getting some demographics.
00:19:33.000 --> 00:19:33.990
We can see some of that.
00:19:34.200 --> 00:19:34.470
Now.
00:19:34.471 --> 00:19:45.240
I, I, I, in this case is interesting because it has sort of this racial component to it, even though it's all white, white people on the board, right?
00:19:45.240 --> 00:19:47.970
Kyle House, Kyle Rittenhouse shot white people.
00:19:48.269 --> 00:19:54.509
Apparently they were there protesting as part of BLM or for racial injustice or something.
00:19:54.660 --> 00:19:58.650
But I don't, you know, who knows what was going on back in those days?
00:19:58.859 --> 00:20:02.430
So now what we have here is a little bit of a speech from this judge.
00:20:02.700 --> 00:20:08.220
And, you know, th this is useful in that it gives you some ideas, some insight into the judge, right?
00:20:08.220 --> 00:20:09.990
A lot of people will look at this and listen to this.
00:20:09.990 --> 00:20:14.759
And gosh, it's just a judge meandering off to himself, which is true, right?
00:20:14.760 --> 00:20:18.960
This judge is very sort of loose the way that he navigates through the courtroom.
00:20:19.200 --> 00:20:22.410
It's very organic, not a lot of structure to it.
00:20:22.411 --> 00:20:27.299
I got very frustrated during some of the pretrial proceedings and even a defense lawyer.
00:20:27.660 --> 00:20:29.940
Cory Chira FEC was a little bit frustrated.
00:20:30.720 --> 00:20:35.430
The judge was asking questions and then sort of meandered into arguing about the motions and lemonade.
00:20:35.431 --> 00:20:43.349
So like sort of talking about one issue about expert witnesses and Dobber hearings, and then meandering into like a segue into emotion and eliminate conversation.
00:20:43.680 --> 00:20:49.480
And we're all just going, what, and then Corey, cheer, cheer, FEC says, are we arguing the motions eliminate now?
00:20:49.630 --> 00:20:50.769
And judge goes, yeah, I think we are.
00:20:50.890 --> 00:20:51.730
Oh, good.
00:20:51.730 --> 00:20:56.710
Well, uh, number 13, then dials back to number 13, Aragon.
00:20:56.829 --> 00:20:58.329
All right, well, that's one way to do it.
00:20:58.480 --> 00:21:03.549
So just kind of navigating throughout, just kind of, you know, organically he's in his courtroom.
00:21:03.550 --> 00:21:04.869
He can run it however he wants to.
00:21:05.230 --> 00:21:11.799
But I also think it's important to listen to the judge and sort of gather what he talks to see if you can gain some insight into what he's talking about.
00:21:12.069 --> 00:21:19.450
And here, if you listen to this judge a lot this morning, there was a quick moment where he sort of asked everybody to applaud for the veterans, right?
00:21:19.451 --> 00:21:21.460
Anybody here served, yes, we all did stand up.
00:21:21.490 --> 00:21:21.700
Okay.
00:21:21.701 --> 00:21:24.970
Give him a round of applause, which, you know, that's that he doesn't have to do that.
00:21:24.971 --> 00:21:32.740
That's not anything that's required shows you that he's somebody who is probably, you know, leaning one direction versus another, right?
00:21:32.740 --> 00:21:44.920
So people who show support for the troops, you know, kind of stand up and honor them tend to broad strokes, fall into one political category, one into one big, a bigger political category when it comes to gun rights and things like that.
00:21:45.250 --> 00:21:47.170
And so take from that, what you will, right?
00:21:47.171 --> 00:21:48.880
That's why it's important to listen to these things.
00:21:49.119 --> 00:22:04.089
And here, here is where he's giving the speech, nothing, anything, nothing really, you know, red meat in this, other than the fact, he
sort of showing some reverence for the founders, talking about the importance of jury selection and that the founders were very firm that this is integral to our democracy.
00:22:04.090 --> 00:22:04.269
Here.
00:22:04.270 --> 00:22:04.599
He is.
00:22:05.440 --> 00:22:10.960
Founders of our country were very firm about what was going to go into that bill of rights that was passed at the first Congress.
00:22:12.849 --> 00:22:15.819
And one of the ingredients was trial by jury.
00:22:16.089 --> 00:22:20.440
They wanted to protect that it's in the constitution, that basic law of this country.
00:22:20.890 --> 00:22:28.599
And it was carried over into the states so that both under the federal and the state constitution, people have a right to a trial by jury.
00:22:29.170 --> 00:22:31.269
And that's why you're here today.
00:22:31.930 --> 00:22:35.440
They put another provision in the constitution entitled.
00:22:36.609 --> 00:22:37.420
Well, it's the title?
00:22:37.421 --> 00:22:37.990
Isn't important.
00:22:38.500 --> 00:22:42.819
It is for a fair and impartial jury.
00:22:46.839 --> 00:22:49.150
That's an obligation that they imposed on you.
00:22:49.151 --> 00:22:57.940
These are people who had risked everything, their lives, as they said themselves in the declaration of independence, their lives, their fortunes, and their sacred honor.
00:22:59.289 --> 00:23:00.430
They pledged all of that.
00:23:00.431 --> 00:23:01.569
And they literally did.
00:23:01.930 --> 00:23:04.630
This was a capital offense when they rebelled against their lawful, okay.
00:23:06.400 --> 00:23:18.670
Uh, in gruesome execution, uh, the forfeiture of all their property, there was something called corruption of blood, or not only were they disinherited, but their children, they would lose everything.
00:23:19.779 --> 00:23:21.700
And their sacred honor.
00:23:23.529 --> 00:23:29.920
Now there's honorable people in this world today, but I don't think it gets the attention that it did in a former error.
00:23:30.759 --> 00:23:31.210
That's right.
00:23:31.211 --> 00:23:31.539
Judge you.
00:23:31.540 --> 00:23:31.779
Right.
00:23:32.529 --> 00:23:32.740
Yeah.
00:23:32.769 --> 00:23:34.269
And so it was a lot of that today, right?
00:23:34.270 --> 00:23:43.450
So about the first, it felt like maybe 20 minutes of this speech, he was going back through Rome and he was going back through the middle ages and the history of what, you know, what a complaint means.
00:23:43.451 --> 00:23:48.019
And he really a really detailed soliloquy that lasted a long time.
00:23:48.410 --> 00:23:54.079
And it was, you know, it was just interesting to sort of watch him just go, and you could tell, he's been given this speech for a long time.
00:23:54.680 --> 00:23:56.029
He had a lot to say about it.
00:23:56.329 --> 00:23:58.819
This is a big case of national importance.
00:23:59.089 --> 00:24:03.259
And so he went into details about where he stands and his perspective on all of this.
00:24:03.260 --> 00:24:03.619
Okay.
00:24:03.799 --> 00:24:05.119
So that's the judge, right?
00:24:05.121 --> 00:24:10.279
We're not going to be hearing much more from him as the rest of the trial goes on, ideally, right.
00:24:10.279 --> 00:24:13.640
The judge really should not be involved other than just, you know, resolving disputes.
00:24:13.910 --> 00:24:15.619
And so that was our introduction to him.
00:24:15.829 --> 00:24:24.410
We're going to move on past the judge and, and hopefully into, you know, some real substantive stuff, as soon as we get the jury seated, but we're not there yet.
00:24:24.619 --> 00:24:29.180
And so let's take a quick listen in at some of the arguments that are taking place surrounding jury selection.
00:24:29.181 --> 00:24:36.170
So once again, voice, dear, this is actually, you know, asking questions and the format of what we're about to see is a little bit boring.
00:24:36.200 --> 00:24:40.369
We're going to be looking at the judge all all day, unless they move this camera around.
00:24:40.730 --> 00:24:50.480
Uh, we're just going to be, I guess, maybe listening to the judge I'll trial, or at least throughout jury selection, but we have a prosecutor Thomas binger, and he's asking questions.
00:24:50.480 --> 00:24:56.150
So once again, we go through the questions, uh, you know, sort of the general questions that are applicable to anybody in the panel.
00:24:56.240 --> 00:24:59.869
So picture yourself, you're one of a hundred people that bring you into a room.
00:25:00.049 --> 00:25:06.710
They start asking you questions, you know, uh, is anybody here, anybody here, you know, lost a loved one in a shooting, right?
00:25:06.711 --> 00:25:08.809
Everybody rates five people raised their hand.
00:25:08.810 --> 00:25:09.019
Wow.
00:25:09.049 --> 00:25:09.410
Okay.
00:25:09.859 --> 00:25:15.200
Those people probably not going to be asked to sit on this jury, uh, for, for many reasons, right?
00:25:15.201 --> 00:25:18.650
Prosecutors may not want them on there because they're too emotional.
00:25:18.680 --> 00:25:25.009
We could have a defense attorneys may not want them on there because they're overly critical to people who are just too emotionally invested.
00:25:25.160 --> 00:25:26.630
You might just remove some of them.
00:25:26.809 --> 00:25:33.170
And so we're sort of at that stage where they're asking big, broad, general questions, somebody raises their cue card.
00:25:33.220 --> 00:25:34.430
Oh, that's me.
00:25:34.431 --> 00:25:35.329
That's my question.
00:25:35.599 --> 00:25:39.500
And then they dive in on that person a little bit further.
00:25:39.500 --> 00:25:39.799
Okay.
00:25:39.800 --> 00:25:43.700
So you said that somebody that, you know, her love was, was a, you know, shot in an incident.
00:25:44.000 --> 00:25:48.349
But with that being said, can you set that aside and still be fair and impartial?
00:25:48.440 --> 00:25:51.799
And so you're sort of trying to identify people who might be a problem.
00:25:51.890 --> 00:25:56.779
See if you can rehabilitate them to bring them back into a competent, capable, reasonable juror.
00:25:56.900 --> 00:25:58.670
And if not, then they've got to go.
00:25:58.849 --> 00:26:00.140
And so here is Thomas binger.
00:26:00.141 --> 00:26:03.170
Here's the prosecutor he started with the questioning this morning.
00:26:03.410 --> 00:26:12.170
And this first question was sort of about trying to gauge whether individual jurors were surrounded by other people who had strong opinions about this case.
00:26:12.319 --> 00:26:23.599
So if you're a juror he's asking you, is there anybody in your life, any family, any friends that is really just aggressive in their perspective on how this case went down?
00:26:23.930 --> 00:26:24.559
Yes or no.
00:26:24.769 --> 00:26:25.579
Here's Thomas binger.
00:26:25.580 --> 00:26:27.140
And here's what that question sounds like.
00:26:28.490 --> 00:27:08.819
So my question is, is there any one of you who feels that you're in a group of friends or family, or you've got people that you know, who are just so dead set on one side or the other of this case that you'd be afraid to make a decision in this trial and then have to face them, have to go home at the end and they're confronting you with, well, why did you find this, that, or the other thing when, you know, we disagree with that, is there anybody who would be uncomfortable, who'd be worried about the consequences of, of making a decision in this case, because you're worried it might be unpopular with the people that you know.
00:27:09.299 --> 00:27:09.660
Okay.
00:27:10.049 --> 00:27:12.839
Um, may I might think you are a juror number 15, is that right?
00:27:13.470 --> 00:27:13.799
Okay.
00:27:14.009 --> 00:27:16.220
So I wanted to just point this question out, right?
00:27:16.529 --> 00:27:18.690
You can, you, you can kind of see what he's asking for.
00:27:18.900 --> 00:27:31.079
He's asking for people who have a strong opinion in this area, he knows the area, and he's saying it might this be problematic for you because your, your strong opinion is going to go against your support system.
00:27:31.080 --> 00:27:39.750
It's going to go against your family, against your friends, against your drinking buddies or your, your, your golfing bros or your bowling team or whatever it is you do.
00:27:40.019 --> 00:27:46.950
If you go back to your shooting club and you, uh, tell your shooting buddies.
00:27:47.289 --> 00:27:47.730
Yeah.
00:27:47.730 --> 00:27:49.559
We, uh, we just convicted Kyle Rittenhouse.
00:27:49.589 --> 00:27:50.670
How's that going to go for you?
00:27:50.819 --> 00:27:51.089
Right.
00:27:51.299 --> 00:28:04.380
What the prosecutor's trying to do is identify those people that have those strong, external pressures to go one way, probably presuming that he knows what the demographics are in this area that are likely to be probably on the side of Kyle Rittenhouse.
00:28:04.710 --> 00:28:11.640
And what, what he's trying to do is identify people that are, that are going to succumb to that peer pressure in one way, shape or form.
00:28:11.759 --> 00:28:14.609
So he's asking that question, people are raising their hands.
00:28:14.611 --> 00:28:14.910
Yes.
00:28:14.911 --> 00:28:20.700
I've got a lot of social pressure and stuff that is going to cause me to not think freely.
00:28:20.940 --> 00:28:22.680
It's going to cause me to succumb to that pressure.
00:28:23.069 --> 00:28:25.589
He's trying to identify those people and probably boot them out.
00:28:25.829 --> 00:28:25.980
All right.
00:28:26.009 --> 00:28:38.849
And so in response to this question, we have here, uh, one, one woman who identified and raised her hand, and she said, uh, yeah, actually, you know, a very similar question.
00:28:38.851 --> 00:29:00.809
This was actually a different question, but something to the effect of, well, what about close family and friends or anything that is going to cause you to be, you know, make it difficult for you to be seated on this jury because of the tension surrounding this case, woman raises her hand and says, yeah, we got Thanksgiving coming up and you know, my nephew, well, you're listening.
00:29:00.839 --> 00:29:01.829
Here's what she has to say.
00:29:02.309 --> 00:29:04.380
Thomas banger asks her any problems here.
00:29:04.381 --> 00:29:04.710
She is.
00:29:04.829 --> 00:29:06.960
I believe that juror number 31.
00:29:07.529 --> 00:29:08.190
Uh, did you raise your hand?
00:29:08.191 --> 00:29:08.970
Ma'am okay.
00:29:09.000 --> 00:29:09.359
Thank you.
00:29:11.250 --> 00:29:18.150
Well, I won't want to be able to in Thanksgiving, which is done in the past, especially with, um,
00:29:19.559 --> 00:29:19.829
Okay.
00:29:19.830 --> 00:29:20.339
Real quick.
00:29:20.369 --> 00:29:25.859
I forgot to mention this audio is really low for the jurors almost nonexistent.
00:29:25.861 --> 00:29:28.349
So I actually, uh, edited the, these a little bit.
00:29:28.351 --> 00:29:31.289
I boosted the volume and I transcribed it at the bottom.
00:29:31.290 --> 00:29:40.170
I'm not going to talk over it, but if you're listening in, uh, it's going to be very faint, but if you're watching, you can read the tr the, uh, the captions down at the bottom of the screen here, here.
00:29:40.171 --> 00:29:40.619
It is again.
00:29:41.619 --> 00:29:44.890
So she's talking about Thanksgiving, especially with her family.
00:29:45.609 --> 00:29:55.269
I mean, and then my nephew, who was a police officer, and that was PTSD over many of these situations, it's just very difficult.
00:29:57.220 --> 00:30:03.640
Um, would it make me be partial, but it would make it a very uncomfortable.
00:30:04.740 --> 00:30:05.160
Okay.
00:30:05.400 --> 00:30:07.079
And I just want to make sure I understand what you're saying.
00:30:07.500 --> 00:30:22.559
Um, you are concerned that if you're a juror and you make a decision one way or the other in this case that it could cause some discomfort, some
awkward interactions with family at the holidays say yes.
00:30:25.200 --> 00:30:25.589
Okay.
00:30:26.490 --> 00:30:35.549
Um, and I believe you said that, I think you meant to say that, that it would not affect your ability to be impartial, but it would be something there'll be weighing in your mind.
00:30:35.609 --> 00:30:36.329
Is that fair to say,
00:30:37.319 --> 00:30:43.200
Okay, so you, you could, you could see what he was trying to get at.
00:30:43.289 --> 00:30:47.250
And then she kind of gave him the opposite of that.
00:30:47.579 --> 00:30:53.940
So, so if you didn't hear her, that audio was bad, but if you didn't hear her, she said, well, my nephew, my nephew might be coming over for Thanksgiving.
00:30:54.059 --> 00:30:55.680
He used to be a police officer.
00:30:55.799 --> 00:30:58.319
He has PTSD for many of these situations.
00:30:58.559 --> 00:31:00.210
And now you're thinking, okay, right.
00:31:00.211 --> 00:31:03.359
As a, as a prosecutor, well, do I want this lady on the jury or not?
00:31:03.900 --> 00:31:09.000
Uh, her, her nephews, uh, police, family sort of police family.
00:31:09.000 --> 00:31:16.769
So she might be pro law enforcement, but Kyle Rittenhouse is kind of a, this might be a kind of a pro law enforcement case as a defendant.
00:31:16.770 --> 00:31:20.490
He's kind of a likable law enforcement candidate.
00:31:20.519 --> 00:31:23.279
He was out there in law enforcement said, we appreciate you guys, you know?
00:31:23.279 --> 00:31:25.319
And so, uh, maybe they might be aligning with them.
00:31:25.320 --> 00:31:29.910
So as a prosecutor, you're trying to decide, is this a police family, somebody we want on there or not.
00:31:30.210 --> 00:31:31.410
And so he kind of gets into it.
00:31:31.411 --> 00:31:31.710
Okay.
00:31:31.711 --> 00:31:35.490
Well, so your, your nephew used to be a police officer.
00:31:35.519 --> 00:31:36.900
Can you still sit on this jury?
00:31:36.901 --> 00:31:37.710
Yes, I can.
00:31:37.920 --> 00:31:43.799
Is this, can you, can you exercise your civic duty over having a problem at Thanksgiving dinner?
00:31:43.829 --> 00:31:44.700
Yes, I can.
00:31:44.730 --> 00:31:45.150
Okay.
00:31:45.480 --> 00:31:45.720
Right.
00:31:45.721 --> 00:31:50.460
So she gets to stick around for the foreseeable future, but that's the type of stuff we're talking about.
00:31:50.609 --> 00:31:50.940
Right?
00:31:51.000 --> 00:31:57.509
Thanksgiving, dinner problems, arguing over Kyle Rittenhouse, which is valid to be, to be fair.
00:31:57.569 --> 00:31:57.869
Right.
00:31:57.871 --> 00:32:03.509
I, you know, I don't know what I'm doing for Thanksgiving, but somebody is probably going to get a black eye over Kyle Rittenhouse.
00:32:03.539 --> 00:32:03.750
Right?
00:32:03.779 --> 00:32:04.829
Not on my hands.
00:32:04.830 --> 00:32:07.740
You know, I'm very peaceful and loving, but you just know how this stuff goes.
00:32:08.039 --> 00:32:09.359
It's a tense case.
00:32:09.660 --> 00:32:13.680
And so we've
got another clip here that was, we got two from Thomas binger.
00:32:13.681 --> 00:32:19.440
Let's check in here on Corey Chira Feesey and cheer FEC of course is a defense attorney.
00:32:19.680 --> 00:32:24.900
And he's asking another, another question, uh, diving in about a one particular mom.
00:32:24.901 --> 00:32:26.160
We have a mom who was a juror.
00:32:26.161 --> 00:32:30.420
Again, her voice is going to be very low, but I did my best to transcribe this briefly.
00:32:30.779 --> 00:32:34.019
And she's going to be asked a question by Chira feces.
00:32:34.020 --> 00:32:43.279
Specifically, you said something about not wanting your son to go down there to the, where Rittenhouse was, where Rosenbalm worlds, where all of this took place.
00:32:43.970 --> 00:32:54.980
The prosecutor said, I'm wanting to know about that because wanted to know why you didn't want your son to go down there, probably because it would have been a reckless thing to do if your son went down there.
00:32:55.190 --> 00:33:01.309
But then the defense is hinting that the mom was more concerned about safety.
00:33:01.910 --> 00:33:05.269
The reason why she didn't want her son to go down there is because it was dangerous.
00:33:06.349 --> 00:33:09.680
And in a dangerous situation, what do you have to do defend yourself?
00:33:09.890 --> 00:33:15.170
So you can see the prosecutor was going one direction and the defense attorney comes back out and tries to redirect it.
00:33:15.171 --> 00:33:16.309
Let's listen to that question.
00:33:18.839 --> 00:33:19.200
Okay.
00:33:19.950 --> 00:33:25.680
And you had mentioned that you were not, you would ask them not to do that.
00:33:27.750 --> 00:33:28.079
Okay.
00:33:29.009 --> 00:33:37.289
Um, can I ask you to broad question, but why were you worried for his safety?
00:33:37.290 --> 00:33:39.569
Did you not want him to get arrested?
00:33:39.599 --> 00:33:40.799
Kind of all of it.
00:33:40.890 --> 00:33:42.329
What do you, what was kind of going through your mind?
00:33:43.559 --> 00:33:52.950
He not knowing what was going on down there and just kind of like a lot of the home and be safe my own and not look for any
00:33:54.180 --> 00:33:54.869
Sounds good to me.
00:33:55.349 --> 00:33:57.809
I'm sorry, judge.
00:33:58.140 --> 00:34:00.269
Were you watching what was happening?
00:34:01.019 --> 00:34:01.019
Yes.
00:34:01.589 --> 00:34:01.859
All right.
00:34:01.920 --> 00:34:11.820
And, um, so you had observed property damage, things like that?
00:34:12.630 --> 00:34:13.230
Yes.
00:34:13.289 --> 00:34:13.920
Okay.
00:34:15.929 --> 00:34:16.289
Okay.
00:34:18.030 --> 00:34:20.940
And so the biggest concern you had was for his safety,
00:34:22.380 --> 00:34:24.239
He needed to be any part of it.
00:34:25.019 --> 00:34:25.380
Okay.
00:34:26.309 --> 00:34:26.309
Um,
00:34:26.809 --> 00:34:27.110
Okay.
00:34:27.110 --> 00:34:28.579
So you see what he did there.
00:34:28.639 --> 00:34:30.920
So let's back up for a minute.
00:34:30.920 --> 00:34:31.820
We have a woman out there.
00:34:31.820 --> 00:34:33.380
Prosecutor asks him a question.
00:34:33.500 --> 00:34:34.909
Uh, you don't want your son to go down there?
00:34:34.911 --> 00:34:35.449
Why not?
00:34:35.451 --> 00:34:36.619
Well, it's dangerous down there.
00:34:36.650 --> 00:34:36.949
He goes.
00:34:36.951 --> 00:34:37.460
Exactly.
00:34:37.460 --> 00:34:37.699
Right.
00:34:37.701 --> 00:34:39.920
So it was so prosecutor's argument.
00:34:39.920 --> 00:34:43.789
The framing of this, the reason why mom didn't want sun to go down there, it's dangerous.
00:34:44.210 --> 00:34:49.610
And Kyle Rittenhouse by grabbing a gun and going down there is acting recklessly.
00:34:49.610 --> 00:34:49.940
Right?
00:34:49.969 --> 00:34:54.829
Mom, this mom can see it's very clearly dangerous, but Rittenhouse goes down there anyways.
00:34:55.090 --> 00:34:56.989
It kind of sounds like it was a reckless behavior, right?
00:34:57.289 --> 00:34:58.670
That's the prosecutor's argument.
00:34:58.909 --> 00:35:07.670
Defense attorney comes back out and says, yeah, but you were talking about dangerousness, but the real reason you didn't want him to go down, there was safety, right.
00:35:07.670 --> 00:35:10.130
Just flips it from dangerous to safety, safety.
00:35:10.280 --> 00:35:10.550
Right?
00:35:10.550 --> 00:35:11.750
You didn't want it safe.
00:35:12.019 --> 00:35:17.329
You want him to be safe and that's going to be reframed as to be self-defense right.
00:35:17.510 --> 00:35:19.309
It wasn't reckless for him to go down there.
00:35:19.760 --> 00:35:20.599
That was fine.
00:35:20.750 --> 00:35:21.590
All that was fine.
00:35:22.369 --> 00:35:26.000
He was, he was, he was very safe until he was assaulted and attacked.
00:35:26.030 --> 00:35:33.500
And then because his safety was in danger, he needed to exercise self defense, fire his weapon and eliminate the threats.
00:35:35.929 --> 00:35:37.949
And my sign literally fell off the wall.
00:35:37.951 --> 00:35:39.000
Did you see that happen?
00:35:39.960 --> 00:35:40.500
Live?
00:35:41.400 --> 00:35:42.030
What?
00:35:44.699 --> 00:35:45.119
All right.
00:35:45.150 --> 00:35:50.969
Well, I'm going to say my prayers tonight, extra, uh, deeply might be some demons in the room or something going on.
00:35:51.269 --> 00:35:53.369
They're gonna have to look at that.
00:35:53.699 --> 00:35:58.710
The RNR side and the thing right in the middle just felt, just felt live right in the middle of the show.
00:35:59.429 --> 00:36:00.960
What the heck was that?
00:36:01.019 --> 00:36:01.440
All right.
00:36:01.469 --> 00:36:07.650
Well, I don't know what that says about Kyle Rittenhouse is case, but it might be a good omen.
00:36:07.650 --> 00:36:08.610
Might not be a good omen.
00:36:08.610 --> 00:36:09.269
What did I say?
00:36:09.300 --> 00:36:10.860
I'm going to have to go rewind the clock there.
00:36:13.889 --> 00:36:14.579
Okay.
00:36:14.610 --> 00:36:15.000
All right.
00:36:15.010 -->
00:36:16.889
Well, what the heck was I talking about?
00:36:18.210 --> 00:36:22.260
It's probably pretty good point earth, earth shattering point that I was making right there.
00:36:24.030 --> 00:36:24.300
All right.
00:36:24.300 --> 00:36:25.170
Let's get back to it.
00:36:25.320 --> 00:36:25.590
All right.
00:36:25.949 --> 00:36:32.969
So I was talking about this, uh, this prosecutor and the arguments that were being made.
00:36:32.971 --> 00:36:38.039
Prosecutor said that was reckless defense attorney says, no, it was a concern about safety.
00:36:38.460 --> 00:36:43.650
Kyle Rittenhouse is now defending himself to provide for his own safety.
00:36:43.650 --> 00:36:45.389
So it's sort of a reframe of that argument.
00:36:45.630 --> 00:36:48.360
And I thought it was pretty effective there from cheer FEC.
00:36:48.659 --> 00:36:53.699
Also, this is the question now we're going to hear from this juror gets excused.
00:36:53.701 --> 00:37:04.289
So Kyle Rittenhouse up in the Kyle Rittenhouse case, I don't know the number of this juror, but he does get excused because both sides agree that the juror should go.
00:37:04.500 --> 00:37:15.210
So Corey[inaudible] comes out and ask the question about the AR 15 specifically, if you know, if you just hear the word AR 15, are you likely to just presume somebody as guilty?
00:37:15.389 --> 00:37:20.099
Just because you don't like the gun and this woman's like, yeah, I would totally, it's a scary gun.
00:37:20.369 --> 00:37:21.449
I don't like it at all.
00:37:21.599 --> 00:37:22.980
I don't care if it's legal.
00:37:22.981 --> 00:37:28.559
I don't care if it's perfectly authorized whatsoever.
00:37:28.650 --> 00:37:32.460
If I see him with it, I think that person did something wrong because I don't like guns.
00:37:32.730 --> 00:37:35.070
And they were asking that question more or less.
00:37:35.250 --> 00:37:36.510
Here's how that sounded.
00:37:36.750 --> 00:37:37.320
Here's Corey.
00:37:37.500 --> 00:37:39.389
Now Corey then gets an answer.
00:37:39.391 --> 00:37:40.619
He's going to ask a question.
00:37:40.949 --> 00:37:41.699
We're going to pause.
00:37:41.701 --> 00:37:43.139
We're going to hear her response.
00:37:43.530 --> 00:37:48.989
And then Corey is going to make a motion to strike her for cause obviously bias.
00:37:48.990 --> 00:37:50.489
We can't have her on the jury panel.
00:37:50.820 --> 00:38:05.130
And what happens is the prosecution gets to come back out and try to rehabilitate the, the, the juror to say, well, look, I know that they want to strike you, but you really shouldn't be stricken because it's not that bad because you really believe this, isn't it true.
00:38:05.130 --> 00:38:06.510
And you also believe that, right?
00:38:06.780 --> 00:38:08.460
And they say, oh yeah, you're right.
00:38:08.460 --> 00:38:09.750
I can't be fair and impartial.
00:38:09.989 --> 00:38:15.090
And they rehabilitate you back in to keep you apart of the jury because you want that juror.
00:38:15.119
--> 00:38:15.329
Right.
00:38:15.331 --> 00:38:18.329
If they're really bad for one side, they're probably pretty good for yours.
00:38:18.570 --> 00:38:22.199
And so we're going to watch this game sort of start to play itself out.
00:38:22.201 --> 00:38:32.820
But the prosecution's like, okay, well, uh, I guess, uh, I guess we don't watch it either then by, so here is where the question starts from Corey and then we'll move on.
00:38:33.539 --> 00:38:33.809
Mr.
00:38:33.809 --> 00:38:35.980
Binger had asked you about the workings of a firearm.
00:38:36.010 --> 00:38:38.559
I think you'll hear about the firearm in this case.
00:38:38.980 --> 00:38:39.309
Okay.
00:38:39.940 --> 00:38:46.239
The firearm in this case, um, I think it will be referred to as an AR 15.
00:38:48.039 --> 00:38:50.800
Um, it's an MP 15, but it's referred to that.
00:38:50.800 --> 00:39:01.210
Does any, is anybody sole bothered by that type of firearm that they don't think that they could listen to the facts of the case and judge it fairly.
00:39:01.690 --> 00:39:03.340
Anybody have such a problem with that.
00:39:05.530 --> 00:39:05.829
Okay.
00:39:06.789 --> 00:39:08.260
Um, I want to make sure I have it right.
00:39:08.260 --> 00:39:09.219
I'm not going to have it right.
00:39:09.670 --> 00:39:12.030
Um, juror number 30.
00:39:12.800 --> 00:39:13.099
Okay.
00:39:15.789 --> 00:39:16.030
Okay.
00:39:16.030 --> 00:39:17.739
So juror number 30 raises her hand.
00:39:17.980 --> 00:39:26.050
Quick question, you know, anybody see that would sort of jump to conclusions and the be unable to be fair and impartial juror 30 raises her hands.
00:39:26.320 --> 00:39:38.469
So then we get an answer from her and the inquiry digs in a little bit before trying to, before moving to strike her for cause judge, she is not, not capable of being a competent jerk.
00:39:38.471 --> 00:39:39.039
She's got to go.
00:39:39.041 --> 00:39:39.579
Let's listen.
00:39:46.570 --> 00:39:46.900
Okay.
00:39:47.230 --> 00:39:53.110
Can you, uh, and then wants to sound like a dumb question, but can you just tell me your feelings on it?
00:39:54.429 --> 00:40:08.170
I don't think a weapon like that should be okay if it's legal to, if it's illegal to purchase.
00:40:09.460 --> 00:40:19.389
Um, and you have your feelings, which are plain about that and the firearm in and of itself, isn't illegal.
00:40:19.391 --> 00:40:26.349
Do you think you can judge this case fairly understanding that it involves a firearm that you don't think should be legal.
00:40:29.079 --> 00:40:29.440
Okay.
00:40:29.530 --> 00:40:38.349
So you think you would be, um, you would have difficulty setting aside whatever preconceived notions or whatever your feelings are about the case and judge it fairly.
00:40:39.639 --> 00:40:39.880
Okay.
00:40:41.519 --> 00:40:44.079
Joe would move, um, district 30.
00:40:48.280 --> 00:40:48.610
Okay.
00:40:48.610 --> 00:40:50.050
So gone.
00:40:50.050 --> 00:40:50.260
Right.
00:40:50.260 --> 00:40:53.800
So not, not gone quite yet, but gone from the defense defense goes out there.
00:40:53.800 --> 00:40:55.599
Listen, I'm going to ask you three times.
00:40:55.630 --> 00:41:04.030
If, if it's perfectly legal for somebody to have that gun, you're still gonna look at their case and say, you find them guilty.
00:41:04.059 --> 00:41:04.719
She says, yes.
00:41:04.780 --> 00:41:06.010
Are you sure again?
00:41:06.130 --> 00:41:07.300
Yes, I would do it again.
00:41:07.780 --> 00:41:08.650
And he says why?
00:41:08.679 --> 00:41:12.340
And she says, well, because I don't think anybody in the public should have a weapon like that.
00:41:12.610 --> 00:41:14.409
And so somebody is just way too bias, right?
00:41:14.411 --> 00:41:16.389
If they have that weapon automatically guilty.
00:41:16.659 --> 00:41:18.789
And thankfully the lady said that, right?
00:41:18.791 --> 00:41:19.929
A lot of people feel that way.
00:41:20.110 --> 00:41:22.329
Maybe other people would be less honest about it.
00:41:22.331 --> 00:41:27.159
But fortunately she said, yep, I have this really strong, emotional urge.
00:41:27.161 --> 00:41:29.769
That every time I see that I'm just like scared to death.
00:41:30.010 --> 00:41:35.000
She's, you know, recommended that she goes off the panel for cause, right.
00:41:35.000 --> 00:41:36.800
Because she cannot be fair and impartial.
00:41:36.920 --> 00:41:39.320
So the judge says, okay, and uh, Mr.
00:41:39.320 --> 00:41:40.039
Prosecutor, Mr.
00:41:40.041 --> 00:41:41.809
Binger, why don't you come on up here?
00:41:41.960 --> 00:41:44.179
And let's hear from you, what's your perspective on this?
00:41:44.181 --> 00:42:02.239
And typically what you'll see is the prosecutor come back out here and try to rehabilitate this person and say, listen, I know that it's sort of a scary thing, but, uh, for the sake of this case right here in Kenosha, it is perfectly legal for many people to be walking around with an AR 15.
00:42:02.269 --> 00:42:02.449
Right.
00:42:02.451 --> 00:42:12.440
For example, if they are doing that and it's not during a riot, it's not during a, a, a public disorder, would you be okay with that?
00:42:12.469 --> 00:42:14.239
Because it's because it's law that's allowed.
00:42:14.240 --> 00:42:14.449
Right.
00:42:14.451 --> 00:42:16.369
Maybe she goes, oh, you know what?
00:42:16.371 --> 00:42:18.199
Now that you've mentioned it, now that I think about it.
00:42:18.201 --> 00:42:18.469
Yeah.
00:42:18.471 --> 00:42:20.300
Actually, that's not that bad of a problem.
00:42:20.480 --> 00:42:24.349
He says, cause we have the second amendment and the second amendment guarantees people, the right.
00:42:24.351 --> 00:42:25.070
To have a firearm.
00:42:25.070 --> 00:42:25.260
Right.
00:42:25.340 --> 00:42:26.480
And she goes, yeah, that's a good point.
00:42:26.719 --> 00:42:29.599
And so, and sometimes people can have a gun.
00:42:29.601 --> 00:42:29.900
Right.
00:42:29.900 --> 00:42:31.010
And she goes, yeah, that is true.
00:42:31.250 --> 00:42:39.440
And so, and so in this case, you could set aside the fact that an AR 15 might be legal and lawful, and that doesn't make you scared of the weapon anymore.
00:42:39.440 --> 00:42:39.619
Right.
00:42:39.621 --> 00:42:40.099
And she goes, yeah.
00:42:40.130 --> 00:42:41.840
Now that you mention it, that's right.
00:42:42.619 --> 00:42:43.099
It's true.
00:42:43.309 --> 00:42:44.000
And he goes, okay.
00:42:44.001 --> 00:42:45.349
And so you can be fair and impartial.
00:42:45.440 --> 00:42:45.980
She goes, yes.
00:42:46.010 --> 00:42:46.460
Okay.
00:42:46.789 --> 00:42:52.340
Uh, judge, I oppose the motion to strike her for, cause she just said that she could be fair and impartial.
00:42:52.610 --> 00:42:54.320
And if the judge buys that right.
00:42:54.320 --> 00:42:56.840
If the judge is like, oh, like she said, she could be fair and impartial.
00:42:57.019 --> 00:43:02.360
Then the prosecution just kept a person who's petrified of weapons on the jury panel.
00:43:02.389 --> 00:43:02.539
Right.
00:43:02.541 --> 00:43:04.219
And that's a tremendous success.
00:43:05.150 --> 00:43:20.570
And so, you know, that's something that I would think that you'd want to fight for, but uh, we didn't get too much of that here now to be fair, this lady was maybe beyond rehabilitation, but a prosecutor binger, just kind of like, okay, well, all right, you're gone kind of surprise me.
00:43:20.570 --> 00:43:24.440
I was a little bit shocked at how quickly he, uh, uh, gave up.
00:43:24.440 --> 00:43:26.179
It's like 30 seconds here he is.
00:43:33.289 --> 00:43:35.420
Ma'am I just want to clarify something.
00:43:35.420 --> 00:43:39.440
So there are going to be a lot of facts in this case about a lot of different things.
00:43:40.039 --> 00:43:48.170
Um, console stats about the curfew, um, about the events of that night, uh, protests, things like that.
00:43:48.860 --> 00:44:06.289
Uh, my understanding of correctly that just the simple fact that the, if, if you, if the evidence shows that the defendant possessed an AR 15, you would find him guilty of all of the charges just based on that fact, then I have no objection.
00:44:08.510 --> 00:44:08.869
Yes.
00:44:08.989 --> 00:44:09.320
Okay.
00:44:09.679 --> 00:44:09.860
All right.
00:44:09.889 --> 00:44:10.250
Thank you.
00:44:10.420 --> 00:44:11.389
Ma'am I'm going to excuse you.
00:44:11.840 --> 00:44:16.579
Um, and the police give her a boat, uh, note and, um,
00:44:18.230 --> 00:44:18.739
Okay.
00:44:19.699 --> 00:44:19.909
All right.
00:44:19.940 --> 00:44:20.329
That's it.
00:44:20.360 --> 00:44:21.920
No rehabilitation there going on.
00:44:21.920 --> 00:44:27.380
So what you said is if the evidence shows that he had an AR 15, you'd find him guilty on all charges.
00:44:27.380 --> 00:44:28.190
Yeah, pretty much.
00:44:28.280 --> 00:44:28.699
Okay.
00:44:28.730 --> 00:44:29.840
Well, okay.
00:44:29.840 --> 00:44:31.070
Well, thanks for coming here today.
00:44:31.110 -->
00:44:31.710
See you later.
00:44:32.940 --> 00:44:36.900
Uh, you know, as a prosecutor, I was never a prosecutor never would ever become a prosecutor.
00:44:36.900 --> 00:44:38.670
Never, uh wouldn't wouldn't do it.
00:44:38.909 --> 00:44:46.110
But what happens is, you know, you, you would, I don't know, maybe prosecutors would disagree with me, but you kind of try to salvage that one a little bit, right?
00:44:46.139 --> 00:44:49.019
You want that person on the jury, that person hates guns.
00:44:49.349 --> 00:44:54.960
And if you can get them on there kind of a victory, but he lasted 15, 20 seconds on that one.
00:44:54.989 --> 00:44:59.309
Anyways, that was more or less day one of the Rittenhouse trial.
00:44:59.311 --> 00:45:01.019
We're going to be covering this puppy in depth.
00:45:01.230 --> 00:45:02.730
It's going to get a lot more interesting.
00:45:02.731 --> 00:45:05.820
Once we get this jury seated, we get into opening arguments.
00:45:05.820 --> 00:45:14.130
And so make sure you are subscribed wherever you're watching this and joining us for the live recording of the show and discussion over@watchingthewatchersdotlocals.com.
00:45:14.309 --> 00:45:16.679
Speaking of that, let's jump into the questions over there.
00:45:16.681 --> 00:45:19.829
My friends let's see what you have to say about Rittenhouse.
00:45:20.670 --> 00:45:30.599
And so we are Q and these puppies up first in the house we've got just cows is here, says, Rob, I was able to catch this whole stream today.
00:45:30.869 --> 00:45:38.190
Why would the defense not attempt to dismiss the guy that believes everything firearm related are machine guns towards the very end?
00:45:40.710 --> 00:45:43.730
Uh, it's a good question.
00:45:43.731 --> 00:45:44.150
Just calls.
00:45:44.269 --> 00:45:45.409
So I didn't see that part of it.
00:45:45.650 --> 00:45:54.469
Why wouldn't, why would the defense not attempt to dismiss the guy that believes everything firearm-related are machine guns toward the very end?
00:45:55.090 --> 00:45:56.269
You know, I don't know.
00:45:56.271 --> 00:46:24.739
I don't know if that's a, um, important distinction between, you know, the various permutations of firearms semi-automatic, you know, fully automatic, if that matters all that much, to me, it just, it tends to show maybe sort of, you know, ignorance towards firearms, but not necessarily a position on firearms, whether somebody is for or against so that maybe they just didn't see any real reason why that would lead you to, to jump to a conclusion one way or the other good question.
00:46:24.769 --> 00:46:25.519
I didn't see that part.
00:46:25.521 --> 00:46:25.940
Don't know.
00:46:26.420 --> 00:46:32.449
Uh, the judge says, uh,[inaudible] don't say victim, Rob it's from the judge, which is true.
00:46:32.451 --> 00:46:33.440
I shouldn't be saying that.
00:46:33.679 --> 00:46:36.349
I should be saying, you know, it sorta depends on what you want to call them.
00:46:36.650 --> 00:46:38.300
Uh,
you can call them by their names, Mr.
00:46:38.300 --> 00:46:39.110
Rosenbaum, Mr.
00:46:39.110 --> 00:46:39.650
Gross crew.
00:46:39.739 --> 00:46:40.010
It's Mr.
00:46:40.010 --> 00:46:40.460
Huber.
00:46:41.329 --> 00:46:46.670
But, uh, you know, uh, Terry McAuliffe says, Rob, do you think I'll win the Virginia governor election?
00:46:48.440 --> 00:46:49.550
Not fairly.
00:46:49.639 --> 00:46:56.420
I don't sure don't, uh, speech unleashed says, how do they choose which of the 20 will be dismissed later to get the 12?
00:46:57.170 --> 00:47:02.960
Well, the lawyers be able to have a say in, it can either lawyer object to a juror that is selected for dismissal at the end.
00:47:03.199 --> 00:47:12.650
So, no, I think at the end, it's going to be just sort of a rant, you know, names out of a hat type of process, whatever that looks like, whatever process this court uses to dismiss people randomly, right?
00:47:12.650 --> 00:47:13.670
There's a process for that.
00:47:13.880 --> 00:47:42.099
Now throughout the course of the trial, if there are issues that pop up, for example, if the defense catches wind that jurors are communicating with other people, or if something, you know, improper is happening, there's conversations, taking place between certain, you know, ex party individuals, then the attorneys, either the prosecution or the defense at that moment could file, uh, notify the judge and the judge could theoretically excuse them.
00:47:42.250 --> 00:47:48.309
And it sounds like the judge is willing to do that, right from, even from his description of how jury selection was going to be working.
00:47:48.519 --> 00:47:50.230
He said, yeah, we're going to start at 20.
00:47:50.409 --> 00:47:52.449
And if somebody gets sick, they're gone, right.
00:47:52.451 --> 00:47:53.260
Something else happens.
00:47:53.260 --> 00:47:55.510
Somebody gets hit by a bus on the way in they're gone.
00:47:55.809 --> 00:47:59.380
And so there's sort of this slow whittling down of jurors.
00:47:59.829 --> 00:48:06.340
And then he said at the very end, if you have, let's say, you know, trial concludes state, rest defense, rest, closing arguments, boom.
00:48:06.340 --> 00:48:08.320
We're done at that moment.
00:48:08.500 --> 00:48:13.510
If you go from 20 down to 16, well then you only excuse 16 down to 12, right?
00:48:13.510 --> 00:48:22.809
So you just sort of, whatever the difference is, you just need that 12 magic number, whatever the remainder is, whoever lasts the trial and doesn't get booted stays around.
00:48:22.811 --> 00:48:25.269
And then from there I would, I would imagine that it's just random.
00:48:25.690 --> 00:48:27.849
You get down to the 12 and then that's the end of it.
00:48:28.269 --> 00:48:28.900
Good question.
00:48:28.900 --> 00:48:34.059
Speech Davis says, why don't they always do jury duty like this?
00:48:34.061 --> 00:48:38.769
It seems like it's beneficial to the integrity of the trial to be able to strike the extra jurors at the end.
00:48:38.980 --> 00:48:47.289
What if one of the mangers is half asleep and disinterested while the alternate is taking notes, having predesignated alternates makes zero sense.
00:48:47.530 --> 00:48:49.420
So yeah, I understand what you're saying, Davis.
00:48:49.449 --> 00:48:59.719
And um, so the alternates are selected at the conclusion of the trial before deliberation, right?
00:48:59.721 --> 00:49:07.400
So they don't go in there, uh, and say you're sort of a pseudo juror, right?
00:49:07.400 --> 00:49:10.280
You get to like only pay half attention.
00:49:10.429 --> 00:49:13.849
Cause you're an alternate, like they're all official until one gets booted.
00:49:14.119 --> 00:49:15.409
So they all should be paying attention.
00:49:15.530 --> 00:49:16.550
But I understand your point.
00:49:18.289 --> 00:49:18.469
Yeah.
00:49:18.471 --> 00:49:19.610
There are many ways to do it, right.
00:49:19.610 --> 00:49:20.510
There are different ways to do it.
00:49:20.510 --> 00:49:21.289
I think it's interesting.
00:49:21.320 --> 00:49:24.110
I've never, I've never seen it done this way.
00:49:24.110 --> 00:49:24.380
Right.
00:49:24.380 --> 00:49:27.969
But it is interesting monster.
00:49:27.971 --> 00:49:31.059
One says I am filing a motion to have Rob held in contempt.
00:49:31.061 --> 00:49:33.250
The judge ordered these people couldn't be called victims.
00:49:33.251 --> 00:49:38.920
Rob has repeatedly called them victims in defiance of the, your honor's order, which is so true.
00:49:38.949 --> 00:49:39.460
Everybody.
00:49:39.519 --> 00:49:40.210
I deserve it.
00:49:40.239 --> 00:49:41.679
Thank you for calling me out on that.
00:49:42.190 --> 00:49:46.030
It's just sort of habit and I'm a defense attorney.
00:49:46.030 --> 00:49:46.929
What a loser.
00:49:47.079 --> 00:49:47.409
All right.
00:49:47.411 --> 00:49:47.860
You're right.
00:49:47.920 --> 00:49:54.070
Totally monster one says everyone hates jury duty, but imagine sitting in a jury for weeks and getting tossed.
00:49:54.099 --> 00:49:54.309
Yeah.
00:49:54.311 --> 00:49:56.769
It's doesn't sound, uh, fun.
00:49:57.309 --> 00:50:07.809
Uh, he says, can you remind us how long Kyle has been locked up without being found guilty of anything in your opinion, what do you think is the right process for someone accused of murder when it comes to releasing them before trial or keeping them locked up?
00:50:07.809 --> 00:50:09.159
There are pros and cons on both sides.
00:50:09.369 --> 00:50:13.570
Be interesting to hear it from your point of view, no name on that one.
00:50:13.690 --> 00:50:15.460
So Kyle was really only locked up.
00:50:15.460 --> 00:50:19.989
I think it was for two months, maybe, maybe a little bit longer.
00:50:20.110 --> 00:50:20.380
Right?
00:50:20.380 --> 00:50:22.300
I was very upset about that.
00:50:22.300 --> 00:50:24.429
I, you know, cause his attorneys are idiots about it.
00:50:24.760 --> 00:50:31.489
And what they did is they were trying to basically, uh, stop extradition.
00:50:31.519 --> 00:50:33.500
Remember that this all happened in Kenosha, Wisconsin.
00:50:33.679 --> 00:50:35.179
He fled over to Illinois.
00:50:35.210 --> 00:50:40.159
They held him there and he couldn't post bond there given his extradition status.
00:50:40.400 --> 00:50:48.440
And so they were fighting extradition where I was just saying just extra items, send it back to Wisconsin because then he could post bail and get out of custody.
00:50:48.559 --> 00:50:52.610
And guess what happened after they fought the extradition hearing and lost wasted?
00:50:52.610 --> 00:50:58.039
Two months of time, he did go back to Wisconsin, raised the money, posted bail was under custody almost right away.
00:50:58.219 --> 00:51:08.510
So they basically kept him in custody in my opinion, for two months unnecessarily because they're boneheads and they wanted to generate a bunch of money for whatever fund they were raising money for.
00:51:08.719 --> 00:51:14.059
It was pretty, uh, pretty inappropriate, but you know, those were just my opinions on what I saw.
00:51:14.090 --> 00:51:18.769
I don't make any specific allegations, but it looked problematic.
00:51:18.920 --> 00:51:21.019
So, uh, pros and cons releasing people.
00:51:21.021 --> 00:51:24.139
So I think you should go through a case by case analysis on every single case.
00:51:24.141 --> 00:51:24.380
Right.
00:51:24.380 --> 00:51:32.659
And just like you do in any, in any other type of situation, you don't always have blanket rules where you just say for this type of an offense, this happens, right?
00:51:32.661 --> 00:51:37.099
Those are called mandatory minimums and they don't really work all that.
00:51:37.101 --> 00:51:42.800
Well, a lot of people go to prison for things they shouldn't be going to prison for because some bureaucrats somewhere decided it was good to put it on the books.
00:51:43.820 --> 00:51:45.920
When you're talking about release conditions.
00:51:45.949 --> 00:51:56.360
I think it's important to analyze a lot of different factors of a person's prior criminal record, whether they've got a propensity for violence, all sorts of external factors or, or extenuating circumstances, right?
00:51:56.360 --> 00:52:01.099
A person's mental health, some of their support systems, uh, you know, connections to the community.
00:52:02.389 --> 00:52:06.559
There's a lot of different things that we go through that are even in the statutes that come to these determinations.
00:52:06.769 --> 00:52:13.760
But you, you take these on a case by case basis and you don't forget the humanity when we're talking about whether somebody should be released.
00:52:13.789 --> 00:52:19.400
Remember, in this country, we have the presumption of innocence that has not been taken from us quite yet.
00:52:19.610 --> 00:52:23.599
We'll see when they make that attempt, I'm not gas as well.
00:52:23.601 --> 00:52:27.980
It's nice that the judge actually understands the history and the importance of jury
selection.
00:52:28.130 --> 00:52:30.320
It honestly comes off a bit.
00:52:30.320 --> 00:52:32.389
Self-aggrandizing with his little speech.
00:52:32.420 --> 00:52:33.980
That's what he says while it's nice.
00:52:34.159 --> 00:52:35.840
Yeah, it is.
00:52:35.900 --> 00:52:36.619
Yeah, totally.
00:52:36.679 --> 00:52:36.980
Right.
00:52:36.981 --> 00:52:39.380
And I, uh, I noticed that too.
00:52:39.409 --> 00:52:40.039
I'm not gas.
00:52:40.041 --> 00:52:41.420
I watched it right.
00:52:41.449 --> 00:52:45.320
Went on for like 20, 30 minutes, but it's his big debut.
00:52:45.349 --> 00:52:47.940
So his courtroom, you give them the, you let them do it right.
00:52:47.960 --> 00:52:49.429
Happens to happens all the time.
00:52:49.639 --> 00:52:52.789
Speech unleash says, uh, I'm betting this judge is very conservative.
00:52:52.820 --> 00:52:57.500
I would agree with you my guess is that if he is going to be a favorable judge for Rittenhouse, to be honest, yes.
00:52:57.650 --> 00:53:01.159
If Rittenhouse does get convicted of anything, I think the judge will go very light on him.
00:53:01.369 --> 00:53:02.539
That's from speech unleashed.
00:53:02.599 --> 00:53:03.139
I agree.
00:53:03.141 --> 00:53:06.559
I think he's a very sympathetic judge to Rittenhouse from everything I've seen.
00:53:07.280 --> 00:53:08.690
I would 100% agree.
00:53:09.519 --> 00:53:10.250
We've got a couple others.
00:53:10.519 --> 00:53:10.940
Captain.
00:53:10.940 --> 00:53:21.590
Jim says, Rob, from your experience, excuse me, says, do jurors generally weigh the arguments objectively and do what the unbiased fair and impartial jurors are supposed to do?
00:53:21.590 --> 00:53:32.489
Not necessarily a national trial like this, where everyone already has their own agenda, but in 99% of the other cases in our court system, or is fair and impartial and guilty beyond a reasonable doubt, largely a myth.
00:53:32.490 --> 00:53:33.780
Now it's a good question.
00:53:34.110 --> 00:53:39.690
You know, captain Jim, this is a really sort of really big sort of existential crest question about the justice system.
00:53:40.139 --> 00:53:44.940
And there's no one clear answer on this, right?
00:53:44.940 --> 00:53:56.130
You're going to see, I think a lot of displeasure and cynicism and skepticism and people just outright detesting the justice system.
00:53:57.000 --> 00:53:58.860
And there's a good reason for that, right?
00:53:58.860 --> 00:54:00.179
There's a lot of problems with it.
00:54:00.181 --> 00:54:11.789
It also works moderately well given, uh, the, the state of mankind and sort of our inner instincts and the disgusting creep towards totalitarianism and all of that.
00:54:11.791 --> 00:54:18.809
I think, you know, I think it does a moderately decent job of protecting a person's right to counsel and things like that as best we can, right.
00:54:18.809 --> 00:54:24.389
It's still not perfect by any stretch of the imagination, but it is, it is useful.
00:54:24.510 --> 00:54:30.269
And there are other systems in the, in the country where you don't have the PR or in the world where you don't have the presumption of innocence or things like due process.
00:54:30.539 --> 00:54:37.289
Those are incredibly powerful concepts that fortunately are at least on our books here, even though they're not always perfectly implemented.
00:54:37.291 --> 00:54:44.909
So, you know, in a case like this, you know, I like to say that we walk in with the presumption of innocence and the government has the burden of proof.
00:54:45.329 --> 00:54:46.889
I don't believe that to be the case.
00:54:46.891 --> 00:54:57.389
I think that really sort of, um, you know, speaking anecdotally, many people have already been preconditioned to believe that if somebody got arrested, they probably did something wrong.
00:54:57.420 --> 00:54:57.719
Right.
00:54:57.721 --> 00:55:00.420
And the cops are infallible, right?
00:55:00.420 --> 00:55:01.289
Cops are heroes.
00:55:01.530 --> 00:55:05.070
They show up with a badge and a gun to do duty and they're there.
00:55:05.090 --> 00:55:05.820
They're the good guys.
00:55:05.820 --> 00:55:06.000
Right?
00:55:06.001 --> 00:55:12.239
Good guys versus the bad guys, guy in orange and handcuffs is the bad guy cop in the blue with the shiny badge and the gun.
00:55:12.449 --> 00:55:12.989
Good guy.
00:55:13.260 --> 00:55:15.750
And you just have that sort of indoctrinated into your mind.
00:55:16.019 --> 00:55:21.449
And I can't tell you how many times I've just walked in to, to court with my clients.
00:55:21.630 --> 00:55:24.780
And people just have open dripping distain for the person.
00:55:25.170 --> 00:55:26.369
And they don't even know what he did.
00:55:26.371 --> 00:55:27.690
He's just a defendant, right.
00:55:27.690 --> 00:55:29.579
He's just somebody who just walked into court that day.
00:55:29.789 --> 00:55:32.429
Presumption of innocence be damned due process.
00:55:32.431 --> 00:55:34.829
All of those things all gone right out the window.
00:55:35.159 --> 00:55:37.710
And, you know, I, I, I gotta be honest.
00:55:37.710 --> 00:55:40.889
I did a jury trial one time we, we lost, we lost it.
00:55:41.190 --> 00:55:56.849
And it was a, it was something where I thought just from the look on the juror's faces, when we walked in, just from the look, I thought it was over there, you could see the scorn on their face for our clients, for our client.
00:55:57.019 --> 00:56:00.420
And, and, and just for the whole situation, just dripping with disdain.
00:56:00.719 --> 00:56:08.280
And so, you know, you take a look at a situation like that and you go, I don't know, you know, I don't know that there's anything that any lawyer can do in a certain situation like that.
00:56:08.460 --> 00:56:19.949
You just sort of get a bad draw, you know, and it's, uh, it's a problem, but how else are you going to solve this other, you know, it's sort of like the best solution that we've got.
00:56:19.951 --> 00:56:26.289
And
I have a lot of faith that in, in, you know, in the, where it really matters, it, it can get things right.
00:56:26.710 --> 00:56:28.300
If it's, if it's works properly.
00:56:28.300 --> 00:56:34.900
So, uh, you know, I'm not, I'm not a lawyer who just sort of has know open general disdain for the entire justice system.
00:56:35.110 --> 00:56:54.429
The reason I'm doing the work that we do here, the reason why I'm so passionate about these issues about accountability, transparency, and justice is because I believe in the system, I believe that it needs some, some work and a lot of eyeballs and transparency and oversight, but it is built on the back of some pretty good eternal principles, like the right to privacy, right?
00:56:54.429 --> 00:57:07.389
Like getting a warrant before they just barge into your property, like protecting your right to remain silent, not being compelled to do all of these things are timeless, fundamental concepts that I believe work.
00:57:07.929 --> 00:57:08.860
We just have to get back.
00:57:08.860 --> 00:57:19.869
I think to them to some degree, and our systems are highly politicized, highly, highly incentivized through, you know, money and elections and fi and all of that is problematic.
00:57:20.050 --> 00:57:24.639
But the base system is, is built on timeless concepts.
00:57:24.670 --> 00:57:27.639
And those are the things that I believe in juries.
00:57:27.670 --> 00:57:34.510
You know, sometimes, you know, sometimes juries they're going to come to their own conclusion, regardless of what you say.
00:57:34.840 --> 00:57:48.610
And it's, it's like every defense attorneys, you know, never ending, uh, internal conflict, internal struggle conversation, dialogue that we have with our it's like, what, what do you make of jury selection?
00:57:48.880 --> 00:57:53.349
And I think if you asked a hundred defense lawyers, you'd probably get a hundred different answers from different people.
00:57:53.469 --> 00:57:56.739
I know a big spectrum of people that say, I don't even care about the jury.
00:57:56.740 --> 00:57:57.429
Doesn't even matter.
00:57:58.119 --> 00:57:59.800
Pick any jurors you want don't care.
00:58:00.519 --> 00:58:00.760
Right.
00:58:00.880 --> 00:58:12.460
Cause they're gonna make the same arguments because they've, they've sort of seen that no matter what they do, there's going to be a black Swan juror, or there's going to be somebody who, you know, you ask every single question, what do you watch?
00:58:12.460 --> 00:58:13.480
What'd you have for breakfast?
00:58:13.780 --> 00:58:15.070
What happened to your grandma?
00:58:15.250 --> 00:58:16.389
Tell me about your childhood.
00:58:16.391 --> 00:58:23.590
You can psychoanalyze everybody, but they hear one thing in a trial and they go the opposite direction of what you think of how you think they'll go.
00:58:23.829 --> 00:58:35.349
And so it's sort of like, you know, trying to wrap your heads, hands around something that is just so complex that it's, it's, it's very difficult, but I know other attorneys that like, it's a science, right?
00:58:35.349 --> 00:58:40.480
They go in there, they want a 53 year old woman with blue eyes and brown hair and you go, that's weird.
00:58:40.780 --> 00:58:41.920
And they go, and it works for them.
00:58:41.949 --> 00:58:42.159
Right?
00:58:42.161 --> 00:58:45.010
So different lawyers are going to have different technique.
00:58:45.219 --> 00:58:45.909
Good question.
00:58:46.119 --> 00:58:46.929
I gotta pick up the pace.
00:58:46.989 --> 00:58:48.730
And the dark says two things.
00:58:49.539 --> 00:58:53.469
That's interesting to know that back when he started, these types of trials had to be by loss of question.
00:58:53.590 --> 00:59:01.119
What changed that one would think that men now more than ever, we would want people to find out of the information out of the information loop for a few days.
00:59:01.480 --> 00:59:02.320
I don't know what changed that.
00:59:02.320 --> 00:59:02.559
Yeah.
00:59:02.590 --> 00:59:02.980
I don't know.
00:59:02.981 --> 00:59:11.739
I don't know what the rules are in Wisconsin for people like Richie McGuinness, do they have to say, do they have any say in the prosecutor, adding charges on their behalf?
00:59:11.889 --> 00:59:13.809
From what I recall, Richie's testimony for the state.
00:59:13.809 --> 00:59:16.420
It says Kyle was being chased and they were trying to hurt him.
00:59:16.420 --> 00:59:17.860
At least the one guy reached for his gun.
00:59:17.860 --> 00:59:18.610
So it's kind of weird.
00:59:18.760 --> 00:59:23.449
They would even use his as a witness for starters, but also file charges on his behalf.
00:59:23.599 --> 00:59:24.289
It's a good question.
00:59:24.291 --> 00:59:25.539
On 0.2, they're in a dark.
00:59:25.610 --> 00:59:26.630
And I remember that, right?
00:59:26.780 --> 00:59:28.010
Uh, McInnes, his testimony.
00:59:28.130 --> 00:59:36.920
We read the probable cause statement that was originally, uh, proffered forward here, back in the early days of this, when charges were first filed in the Rittenhouse case.
00:59:37.250 --> 00:59:41.599
And back then it read to me like McGinnis was a witness for the defense.
00:59:41.601 --> 00:59:44.929
He was like every, every, every paragraph was like McInnis said he was running away.
00:59:45.559 --> 00:59:46.699
McInnis said he tried to disengage.
00:59:47.329 --> 00:59:49.489
McInnis said that Rosenbaum was the aggressor going.
00:59:49.490 --> 00:59:49.940
What the heck?
00:59:49.940 --> 00:59:51.469
Why is Kyle Rittenhouse being charged?
00:59:51.471 --> 00:59:52.190
This is insane.
00:59:52.429 --> 00:59:56.539
And so I agree that McInnes, his testimony did seem favorable to Rittenhouse.
00:59:56.539 --> 01:00:05.150
That being said, right, you as a victim, oftentimes people think that you, you know, somebody can sh it's like in the movies cop shows up.
01:00:05.179 --> 01:00:06.289
I don't want to press charges.
01:00:06.320 --> 01:00:06.619
Okay.
01:00:06.621 --> 01:00:07.730
Well, I guess that's it for me.
01:00:07.731 --> 01:00:09.170
Then I'm going to go get a cup of coffee.
01:00:10.730 --> 01:00:11.690
Thanks for the phone call.
01:00:11.909 --> 01:00:12.079
Right.
01:00:12.081 --> 01:00:12.889
It's not how it works.
01:00:12.891 --> 01:00:13.039
Right?
01:00:13.041 --> 01:00:16.670
In a domestic violence case, oftentimes the victim, right.
01:00:16.670 --> 01:00:22.070
Does not want to be, uh, prosecuting their, their spouse.
01:00:22.250 --> 01:00:27.170
And the government says, well, we don't care about that because he committed a crime and you're the, the victim here.
01:00:27.320 --> 01:00:32.059
And so they're going to prosecute it with, or without you, same, same type of thing can happen here.
01:00:32.090 --> 01:00:32.300
Right?
01:00:32.840 --> 01:00:40.610
McGinnis is somebody who may not be necessarily a cooperative witness, but they're still prosecuting.
01:00:40.789 --> 01:00:42.860
Like he may say I wasn't hit, I wasn't shot.
01:00:42.860 --> 01:00:43.429
I wasn't harmed.
01:00:43.429 --> 01:00:44.809
I really don't want anything to do with it.
01:00:44.811 --> 01:00:47.030
They still say you are the victim of reckless endangerment.
01:00:47.179 --> 01:00:50.150
We're going to subpoena you to come to court and testify.
01:00:50.869 --> 01:00:52.369
And they may not need him to say anything.
01:00:52.789 --> 01:00:58.820
You know, I don't know if they're going to call him or not, but they may not need him to say anything other than what he already said.
01:00:59.750 --> 01:01:03.409
And they may think that that gives them strong enough basis to convict Kyle, regardless.
01:01:03.440 --> 01:01:09.079
Even if his testimony did seem like it was favorable, the Rittenhouse who knows if things have changed.
01:01:09.349 --> 01:01:10.309
Good question to Darby.
01:01:10.460 --> 01:01:11.599
A couple more on this one.
01:01:12.050 --> 01:01:26.059
Shade says the little I heard from the judge, I really appreciate not only hit the historical references, but some of the unusual details he noted people take for granted the raw bloody seriousness of history in all cultures nowadays let alone the founding of America respect.
01:01:26.179 --> 01:01:26.389
Yeah.
01:01:26.391 --> 01:01:29.630
So got some kind of, uh, you know, alternate takes here.
01:01:29.869 --> 01:01:32.599
You know, it is good to hear from a judge just to sort of get your bearings straight.
01:01:32.601 --> 01:01:34.219
What does the judge say about all this?
01:01:34.221 --> 01:01:38.300
And now we know we have a bowed.
01:01:38.329 --> 01:01:41.570
Low-rise me says, Hey, Rob, hope your weekend was good.
01:01:42.739 --> 01:01:43.250
Let's see here.
01:01:43.251 --> 01:01:44.539
That was on the Baldwin statement.
01:01:44.900 --> 01:01:48.260
So we'll save that one.
01:01:49.159 --> 01:01:55.989
Let me reopen this and get these, get, get the other questions queued up.
01:01:59.900 --> 01:02:00.019
All right.
01:02:00.021 --> 01:02:01.789
So we'll save that one for the next segment.
01:02:02.269 --> 01:02:14.840
Uh, next up we got little Mandy is here, says, did the judge allow the evidence from the Elijah Schaeffer and of the other reporters on the grounds, video and testimony in the evidence hearing Eliza shaft, Che Schaeffer, Schaffer?
01:02:15.530 --> 01:02:16.849
Uh, I don't know the answer to that question.
01:02:16.880 --> 01:02:20.639
A little Mandy, uh, I don't know the answer to that question.
01:02:21.030 --> 01:02:28.440
I'm not real sure what part of, I'm not sure what you're talking about.
01:02:28.469 --> 01:02:29.400
I apologize on that.
01:02:29.400 --> 01:02:36.119
The Eliza Schaefer, we covered a lot of the different footage and we covered a lot of the pretrial trial conversations that were happening.
01:02:36.121 --> 01:02:53.190
Most of what we were talking about was the, I don't know if you told me what specific video then maybe I could tell you about it, but I don't re I don't know what Eliza Schaeffer is referring to, but we did talk a lot about the, uh, the Daubert hearing and some of the expert witness testimony.
01:02:53.369 --> 01:02:57.449
And they were referencing back to some of the video that was, um, that was played.
01:02:57.451 --> 01:03:07.590
So like one example of the video that we played was when Rittenhouse was walking and got water bottles and they actually police said to him, we appreciate you.
01:03:07.590 --> 01:03:08.280
We really do.
01:03:08.309 --> 01:03:08.519
Right.
01:03:08.521 --> 01:03:13.260
And so that, I don't know if that is Eliza Schaeffer's video, but yes, I think that video is coming in.
01:03:13.260 --> 01:03:17.039
So there are a bunch of those little social media videos that are labeled a bunch of different ways.
01:03:17.340 --> 01:03:19.530
And most stuff is coming in.
01:03:19.739 --> 01:03:37.170
As far as I can tell if I had, if I had to generalize it, this judge said that even during the pretrial proceedings, he came out and he said specifically that there was, uh, his prior precedent essentially was he wants to see most stuff come in, and then he's going to decide what to exclude out.
01:03:37.619 --> 01:03:38.789
So we'll see what he says.
01:03:38.940 --> 01:03:48.119
Leafy bug is here, says, what do you think about judges going on at length about the founders, bill of rights, delivering what seems to be a long history lecture at this stage in the process?
01:03:48.360 --> 01:03:50.369
Do you think he would do this for every jury trial?
01:03:50.371 --> 01:03:55.739
He presides over it's because of the publicity of this trial all seems a bit long-winded to me.
01:03:56.280 --> 01:03:56.730
Yeah.
01:03:56.760 --> 01:03:57.420
I think you're right.
01:03:57.420 --> 01:03:57.960
Leafy book.
01:03:58.320 --> 01:03:59.039
I think you're right.
01:03:59.099 --> 01:04:02.940
You know, I, I highly doubt that he does it for all of his jury trials.
01:04:02.940 --> 01:04:03.989
It was a
long speech.
01:04:04.860 --> 01:04:05.760
Maybe he does.
01:04:05.760 --> 01:04:06.389
I don't know.
01:04:08.440 --> 01:04:11.170
He was also playing jeopardy before it all started.
01:04:11.170 --> 01:04:11.800
Did you see that?
01:04:12.159 --> 01:04:18.550
So while the, while the attorneys were still goofing off, he was actually like, I'm not joking was playing jeopardy with jurors.
01:04:18.579 --> 01:04:23.829
Something about, you know, who climbed the Himalayans in 1940 Madonna.
01:04:24.250 --> 01:04:25.269
Yes, it was Madonna.
01:04:25.360 --> 01:04:26.110
Congratulations.
01:04:26.199 --> 01:04:26.590
Wow.
01:04:26.920 --> 01:04:27.340
Okay.
01:04:27.670 --> 01:04:30.309
So, uh, it was interesting, interesting way to approach it.
01:04:30.909 --> 01:04:32.260
Uh, not really my cup of tea.
01:04:32.289 --> 01:04:32.559
Right.
01:04:32.561 --> 01:04:33.849
I kind of liked judges.
01:04:34.269 --> 01:04:35.710
I actually liked judge Cahill a lot.
01:04:35.710 --> 01:04:35.889
Right.
01:04:35.891 --> 01:04:36.130
Really?
01:04:36.130 --> 01:04:39.130
By the book, you know, defense motions, one through four in order.
01:04:39.340 --> 01:04:39.909
What's your argument.
01:04:40.119 --> 01:04:41.199
You what's your defense.
01:04:41.201 --> 01:04:41.530
Okay.
01:04:41.530 --> 01:04:43.210
I'm gonna review them over the weekend.
01:04:43.210 --> 01:04:44.800
Come back decisions on number one.
01:04:44.800 --> 01:04:45.250
Yes.
01:04:45.280 --> 01:04:45.940
Two yes.
01:04:45.940 --> 01:04:46.780
Three, no four.
01:04:46.780 --> 01:04:47.230
Yes.
01:04:47.980 --> 01:04:48.400
Perfect.
01:04:48.579 --> 01:04:48.820
Right.
01:04:48.820 --> 01:04:50.710
This judge has not been operating that way at all.
01:04:50.920 --> 01:04:52.360
Very organic things.
01:04:52.360 --> 01:04:58.030
Just kind of, you know, maneuver around the edges and they come up and they birth something.
01:04:58.239 --> 01:05:00.130
And then we have to all figure out what's happening.
01:05:00.909 --> 01:05:01.869
That was from leafy, bud.
01:05:01.900 --> 01:05:02.530
Good to see you.
01:05:02.739 --> 01:05:07.179
Another one here from Perry Mason area, he says, oh my God, Rob bloodshed at Turkey day.
01:05:07.960 --> 01:05:11.050
Sorry, but you have to eat out on the deck, bring a coat.
01:05:11.769 --> 01:05:12.550
It will be cold.
01:05:12.579 --> 01:05:13.690
That's for written house.
01:05:13.750 --> 01:05:14.320
That's from Perry.
01:05:14.829 --> 01:05:15.280
Masonary good to see you.
01:05:15.280 --> 01:05:15.639
Perry.
01:05:15.820 --> 01:05:16.869
We have a monster one.
01:05:17.500 --> 01:05:19.269
I don't like this prosecutor.
01:05:19.690 --> 01:05:21.130
He's got a very punchable voice.
01:05:21.130 --> 01:05:22.090
He's look.
01:05:22.090 --> 01:05:22.449
Yeah.
01:05:22.900 --> 01:05:23.769
Thomas binger.
01:05:23.980 --> 01:05:24.309
Yeah.
01:05:24.429 --> 01:05:25.480
Not, not a huge fan.
01:05:25.869 --> 01:05:31.989
Uh, Jake from Oxford says, Rob, normally to display my power over you with the state department, I would change the dim on your light bulb.
01:05:32.019 --> 01:05:33.849
We are trying out new technologies today.
01:05:34.179 --> 01:05:36.099
I will remove the sign behind you.
01:05:37.000 --> 01:05:38.619
That's from Jake Sullivan over at Oxford.
01:05:38.679 --> 01:05:41.500
And you know, it looks naked back.
01:05:41.501 --> 01:05:51.730
There is this that, uh, that's hypersonic missile maybe is China testing something out or is this that secret wave that they have down there in Cuba?
01:05:52.210 --> 01:05:53.739
It's making all of our diplomats sick.
01:05:54.400 --> 01:05:54.400
Hmm.
01:05:54.730 --> 01:05:55.360
Well, either way.
01:05:55.360 --> 01:05:55.900
It's good news.
01:05:55.989 --> 01:05:57.099
That means I'm moving up in the world.
01:05:59.710 --> 01:06:02.199
Uh, uh, Jake from Oxford says it falls.
01:06:02.260 --> 01:06:04.869
Remember certificates, diplomas all over the walls.
01:06:04.871 --> 01:06:05.889
They're all coming down.
01:06:06.550 --> 01:06:07.059
Three girls.
01:06:07.061 --> 01:06:08.440
He says, you're a slot.
01:06:08.440 --> 01:06:11.019
Your sign was slowly coming off the wall, the whole segment.
01:06:11.021 --> 01:06:12.429
It just finally crashed down.
01:06:12.460 --> 01:06:17.739
Oh, I didn't know that, uh, this, uh, this segment is now about my sign.
01:06:17.920 --> 01:06:19.960
Thunder seven says, give me a judge.
01:06:20.019 --> 01:06:20.230
You mean Andrew?
01:06:20.380 --> 01:06:25.090
Andrew's a bit, but he respects the constitution and an OnPoint judge who was an activist that favors banning the second amendment.
01:06:25.239 --> 01:06:30.099
This judge seems like an old fashioned type who loves law and order regardless of a defendant's political leanings.
01:06:30.250 --> 01:06:33.519
What say you Rob happy with the judge?
01:06:33.730 --> 01:06:47.889
Well, I'm not, I'm not quite there yet to under seven on, um, you know, formal opinions on the judge will, will take his, uh, his rulings as they come and call balls and strikes as best we can throughout the remainder of the trial.
01:06:48.159 --> 01:06:52.599
But you know, his, his style is a little bit different, right?
01:06:52.601 --> 01:06:53.949
It's, it's a, it's a different style.
01:06:53.980 --> 01:06:54.840
No question about it.
01:06:54.860 --> 01:06:55.690
Doesn't mean it's bad.
01:06:56.199 --> 01:06:57.969
Just something that's a little bit different.
01:06:58.510 --> 01:07:04.809
And we're, we're going to get to see a colorful trial as a result, speech on Lee says, have you ever witnessed jurors?
01:07:04.900 --> 01:07:12.130
You simply don't want to serve on a jury and just say they would find the person guilty or innocent so they can be removed from jury duty.
01:07:12.130 --> 01:07:12.429
Yeah.
01:07:12.431 --> 01:07:13.570
I mean, people do that all the time.
01:07:13.809 --> 01:07:25.389
So one of the, one of the most common questions that the judges will ask is,
um, and it's not to exclude jurors, but it's sort of instructive is they'll say ladies and gentlemen.
01:07:25.391 --> 01:07:25.630
Okay.
01:07:25.630 --> 01:07:27.190
So a welcome to my courtroom.
01:07:27.190 --> 01:07:32.050
Is there anybody here in the panel of the 50 who, uh, who think that, uh, Mr.
01:07:32.380 --> 01:07:42.610
Guler here is in fact already guilty before you've heard even one word from any of the attorneys seated here, anybody, and you're going to get three or four people out of 50 who go, yeah, I've got, yeah, I think he's guilty.
01:07:43.389 --> 01:07:45.610
And then he goes, okay, well, even though, you know, Mr.
01:07:45.969 --> 01:07:49.329
Four or 5, 6, 7, 8, we have the presumption of innocence.
01:07:49.331 --> 01:07:51.039
He's not actually in fact guilty.
01:07:51.159 --> 01:07:51.940
And do you understand that?
01:07:51.940 --> 01:07:53.079
And they go, yeah, that makes sense.
01:07:53.920 --> 01:07:56.079
And then you say to the next to the next group of people.
01:07:56.530 --> 01:07:56.920
Okay.
01:07:57.550 --> 01:08:02.289
Uh, how many people, uh, don't know whether he's innocent or guilty?
01:08:02.469 --> 01:08:02.469
Yeah.
01:08:02.500 --> 01:08:03.610
How many people just don't know, right.
01:08:03.880 --> 01:08:05.500
No evidence has come forward yet.
01:08:05.710 --> 01:08:07.150
Nobody's presented anything yet.
01:08:07.150 --> 01:08:08.199
No opening are nothing.
01:08:09.400 --> 01:08:10.750
We know he's not guilty, but okay.
01:08:10.751 --> 01:08:11.079
That's fine.
01:08:11.110 --> 01:08:12.309
How many people just don't know?
01:08:13.360 --> 01:08:14.139
And I'm not joking.
01:08:14.141 --> 01:08:16.779
You're going to get, you know, two thirds of the room's gonna go get your right.
01:08:16.779 --> 01:08:17.210
I don't know.
01:08:17.239 --> 01:08:17.989
I have no idea.
01:08:17.990 --> 01:08:18.859
I really don't know.
01:08:20.149 --> 01:08:23.029
And the judge says, thank you for your honesty, but that's also the wrong answer.
01:08:24.260 --> 01:08:27.050
The right answer is, in fact, he is innocent, right.
01:08:27.079 --> 01:08:30.590
This person is, is in fact not guilty.
01:08:32.000 --> 01:08:38.810
And so those questions will come up and people regularly will still just double down on that.
01:08:38.810 --> 01:08:40.670
And just know, I mean, I he's arrested.
01:08:40.671 --> 01:08:44.300
He's sitting here, you know, he's sitting here a cop, he wouldn't be here if he didn't do something wrong.
01:08:44.899 --> 01:08:47.090
So the judge will try to separate those people out.
01:08:47.359 --> 01:08:55.760
But even the people who were in the first group, sometimes you'll get people that just go, well, I mean, he's here, he's seated.
01:08:55.761 --> 01:08:56.149
There.
01:08:57.170 --> 01:08:58.189
Wouldn't be there for one.
01:08:58.250 --> 01:08:59.329
Didn't do something wrong.
01:09:00.739 --> 01:09:00.739
Yep.
01:09:00.920 --> 01:09:10.010
Now Darwin says something bothers me about the state and fed lawyering for one citizen over another citizen and trying to tip the scale their way by potentially using a juror with obvious bias.
01:09:10.159 --> 01:09:16.399
Have we always had prosecutors or were things different early on because it just feels wrong to me that people have that right.
01:09:17.180 --> 01:09:19.850
The state or the fed does not.
01:09:20.270 --> 01:09:20.569
Yeah.
01:09:20.600 --> 01:09:26.000
I mean, I think we've had in the United States prosecutors ever since you sort of, you know, we set foot here, right?
01:09:26.001 --> 01:09:30.109
Ever since sort of the old English common law made its way ashore.
01:09:30.670 --> 01:09:31.850
There's always been prosecutors, right?
01:09:31.850 --> 01:09:40.220
Even the, you know, even the, uh, the, the, the British responsible for the Boston massacre were, were prosecuted.
01:09:40.399 --> 01:09:41.810
And John Adams defended them.
01:09:41.930 --> 01:09:42.260
Right.
01:09:42.529 --> 01:10:12.319
I'm not gas as, so I know you're not allowed to discriminate in jury selection, but what is the threshold, especially when certain demographics are demonstrably predisposed to certain opinions and different types of cases based on polling, you can see in self-defense cases, women are not as favorable as jurors, unless the defendant is female black jurors show more racial in-group preference, white jurors, more likely to find defendants guilty, et cetera, and sort of asking, uh, what's, what's the standard here.
01:10:12.319 --> 01:10:14.029
And so let me see if I can pull this up for you.
01:10:14.030 --> 01:10:14.869
I'm not gas.
01:10:14.899 --> 01:10:16.159
Here's how this works.
01:10:17.899 --> 01:10:19.220
Uh, it's called the Batson challenge.
01:10:19.220 --> 01:10:22.010
So if taken a look over here at Cornell, the objection.
01:10:22.729 --> 01:10:32.300
So let's say for example, that you have one, uh, attorney who's just, you know, striking all the black people off of a jury or somebody striking all the white people, it's called the Batson challenge, right?
01:10:32.301 --> 01:10:35.329
It's an objection to the validity of a peremptory challenge.
01:10:35.331 --> 01:10:41.000
It's on the ground that the other party is trying to exclude a potential juror on the basis of race, ethnicity, or sex.
01:10:41.210 --> 01:10:45.020
This was actually brought up in the, uh, in the Shovan case.
01:10:45.050 --> 01:10:47.149
I think the prosecution brought this out actually.
01:10:47.329 --> 01:10:57.109
And so you've got a whole standard here on how you analyze whether one side is, um, is using those in a discriminatory fashion.
01:10:57.140 --> 01:11:01.909
And so, uh, that's where I would point you for further analysis over there.
01:11:02.270 --> 01:11:02.510
All right.
01:11:02.511 --> 01:11:03.859
A couple other questions.
01:11:03.860 --> 01:11:05.479
Where was I over here?
01:11:07.529 --> 01:11:15.449
Former Elio says, unfortunately, a long time ago, I figured
out that the only people seated on jury's we're too stupid to get out of jury duty.
01:11:15.451 --> 01:11:20.130
I apologize in advance for possibly insulting any of my fellow forum members.
01:11:20.699 --> 01:11:20.939
That's wrong.
01:11:21.239 --> 01:11:24.210
That's a reformer Leo, former police officer in the house.
01:11:24.390 --> 01:11:26.550
George Washington says, I'm surprised.
01:11:26.579 --> 01:11:28.739
Judge, Bruce Schrader is still on the bench.
01:11:28.859 --> 01:11:29.369
He was here.
01:11:29.371 --> 01:11:31.109
When we signed the declaration of independence.
01:11:31.229 --> 01:11:32.670
Glad to see he's still in the game.
01:11:32.671 --> 01:11:37.949
Still kicking, still doing jury trials, Jeremy to says, Rob, so many people say they don't like weapons.
01:11:37.951 --> 01:11:40.289
However, I believe they are missing the point of this trial.
01:11:40.291 --> 01:11:45.210
The root question of this trial is do people have the right to defend themselves when they're life is in danger?
01:11:45.329 --> 01:11:48.869
Would Kyle be on trial if he had used any other method to defend himself?
01:11:49.229 --> 01:11:50.250
Assuming, assuming the same outcome.
01:11:50.640 --> 01:11:51.960
I think the true test to measure.
01:11:52.260 --> 01:12:00.539
If he didn't have the right to defend himself as to put the quote reasonable person to the test and see if they let themselves get killed, or if they defend their own lives.
01:12:00.689 --> 01:12:03.449
It's a very good point there, Jeremy, right?
01:12:03.451 --> 01:12:05.250
The reasonable person standard.
01:12:06.659 --> 01:12:12.090
If you were there, if that was your son, does that look like self-defense to you?
01:12:12.210 --> 01:12:19.050
Well, my son would never go there in the first place, but if he were, if he were right there, then we're not asking about that.
01:12:19.051 --> 01:12:19.229
Right.
01:12:19.230 --> 01:12:20.399
We're asking about that moment.
01:12:21.000 --> 01:12:24.840
What a person right then and there, same circumstances, same conditions.
01:12:25.170 --> 01:12:29.729
Would they feel like their life was in danger and be justified in using lethal force to defend themselves?
01:12:32.579 --> 01:12:33.659
People will still tell you.
01:12:33.689 --> 01:12:37.770
No little Mandy says didn't Kyle replace his original lawyer.
01:12:37.800 --> 01:12:38.609
L Lynn wood.
01:12:38.640 --> 01:12:38.909
Yeah.
01:12:38.939 --> 01:12:42.539
Look, Kyle has, uh, I think it was L Lynwood.
01:12:42.541 --> 01:12:44.069
It was also John Pierce.
01:12:44.369 --> 01:12:46.500
John Pierce, I think was the original.
01:12:46.501 --> 01:12:48.630
I don't know if Lynnwood got involved actually.
01:12:48.631 --> 01:12:55.470
Now that you mentioned it, he was sort of in the, uh, in the circle, but it was originally John Pierce, right?
01:12:56.100 --> 01:13:03.539
John Pierce, and a lot of other, just people who, I don't know what they were doing, to be honest.
01:13:04.170
--> 01:13:07.739
And I was a lot more reserved in my criticism of them when it first started.
01:13:07.740 --> 01:13:11.130
But I'm loosening up here on YouTube monster.
01:13:11.131 --> 01:13:13.529
One says was juror 30, the same one as before.
01:13:13.530 --> 01:13:15.239
I think she was the Thanksgiving one as well.
01:13:15.579 --> 01:13:17.399
And so she's clearly just trying to get out of it.
01:13:17.520 --> 01:13:21.510
She's like, I, uh, uh, I have a nephew, I have PTSD.
01:13:21.539 --> 01:13:23.340
I've got Thanksgiving coming up also.
01:13:23.341 --> 01:13:27.090
You know, I don't, I don't, uh, I don't like AR fifteens either.
01:13:27.449 --> 01:13:29.130
Just get me off of this thing, please.
01:13:29.159 --> 01:13:32.909
Somebody, Joe Biden says, I pooped my pants.
01:13:32.911 --> 01:13:34.500
I need to borrow Nadler's diapers.
01:13:34.590 --> 01:13:35.010
Monster.
01:13:35.011 --> 01:13:39.239
One says, if you ever got Lincoln lawyered, what would you do?
01:13:39.420 --> 01:13:42.689
Well, I mean, whatever Matthew McConaughey did, he got out of that.
01:13:42.690 --> 01:13:42.960
Okay.
01:13:42.961 --> 01:13:45.270
Didn't he how'd that movie end that he survived?
01:13:45.329 --> 01:13:50.069
I think so little Mandy says, uh, Eliza Shaffer as a show called slightly offensive.
01:13:50.100 --> 01:13:52.140
He's the one who recorded the original footage.
01:13:52.199 --> 01:13:52.920
Oh, okay.
01:13:58.090 --> 01:13:58.510
Okay.
01:13:58.630 --> 01:13:58.930
Yeah.
01:13:58.930 --> 01:14:06.069
So I, as far as I know, then I think all of that is coming in as far as I know, but I don't know for sure.
01:14:06.220 --> 01:14:07.869
So, so don't hold me to that.
01:14:08.949 --> 01:14:11.050
Uh, there is, this has been sort of a mess of this, right?
01:14:11.170 --> 01:14:14.770
A lot of people really don't know what is coming in until it sort of is time for it to come in.
01:14:15.220 --> 01:14:18.649
Then the judge is going to decide, the judge is like, well, we're going to rule on that.
01:14:18.729 --> 01:14:22.329
And when the time comes and you go, well, it's like, now, like I need to know, am I preparing my case?
01:14:22.331 --> 01:14:23.409
Or can I use this stuff?
01:14:23.470 --> 01:14:24.850
He was like, well, we'll just decide when we get there.
01:14:25.000 --> 01:14:25.210
All right.
01:14:25.479 --> 01:14:28.539
John Halligan says, quality signs are hard to come by.
01:14:29.319 --> 01:14:30.340
You get what you pay for.
01:14:30.520 --> 01:14:31.539
It's a great design though.
01:14:31.750 --> 01:14:31.899
All right.
01:14:32.069 --> 01:14:32.739
No, it's no problem.
01:14:33.670 --> 01:14:36.279
I mean, I'm just going to duct tape the heck out of that puppy.
01:14:36.280 --> 01:14:38.170
It's not coming down ever again.
01:14:38.380 --> 01:14:40.630
Now the RS and the law group, they might come off.
01:14:40.659 --> 01:15:00.890
You know, I can't vouch for those, but as soon as I get off this show, I'm getting a drill, a hammer, a tub of gorilla glue, two tubs to two rolls of duct tape And a lot more three girls, he says, have you ever had anyone bring up jury nullification is the reason why they should not be seated on the jury?
01:15:02.119 --> 01:15:08.899
Uh, no, I did a, um, I D I, I might've told this story before.
01:15:08.900 --> 01:15:13.609
I did a trial one time up in a, it was a jury trial on a reckless driving charge early in my career.
01:15:13.970 --> 01:15:32.600
And I was a up in a, in a little town and there was no real talk of jury nullification, but in little towns, a lot of people have sort of general distain for law enforcement, which is a good thing if you're a defense lawyer, but it's also something where people are very vocal about their words about, about their, their, um, opinions, right.
01:15:32.600 --> 01:15:34.100
They just sort of say, what is out there?
01:15:34.460 --> 01:15:40.069
And there was one case where we were right, just about to get this, this, uh, jury seated.
01:15:40.340 --> 01:15:43.939
And there was a time for us to sort of exercise our strikes.
01:15:44.329 --> 01:15:47.359
And there was one woman who was sort of neutral.
01:15:47.360 --> 01:15:49.880
Like it was kind of like, I, like, I think she'd be fine.
01:15:50.390 --> 01:15:52.880
I wasn't really, you know, real keen on her.
01:15:52.881 --> 01:15:55.489
And I wasn't really real adamant to get rid of her.
01:15:56.510 --> 01:15:58.909
And the prosecution was probably the same too.
01:15:58.911 --> 01:15:59.119
Right.
01:15:59.121 --> 01:16:03.050
Just kind of like this, just kind of, you know, hard to read woman.
01:16:03.500 --> 01:16:06.500
I had other people that, that I think needed a peremptory more than her.
01:16:06.501 --> 01:16:08.270
So she was going to stay same with the prosecutor.
01:16:08.750 --> 01:16:15.020
And so we're going through questioning and the judge is like, it's like, like literally like five minutes before, we're all going to issue our final.
01:16:15.170 --> 01:16:16.430
We're going to have the final jury.
01:16:16.550 --> 01:16:17.239
We're going to be good to go.
01:16:17.989 --> 01:16:20.569
Judge says, and I'm like, ready to go.
01:16:20.989 --> 01:16:22.069
Judge says something.
01:16:23.060 --> 01:16:32.569
And is there anything else that you think that we should know before we, uh, we wrap up our questions and this lady, quiet lady just raised her hand.
01:16:32.570 --> 01:16:34.880
I think I should tell you something, Joe.
01:16:34.881 --> 01:16:35.060
Yes.
01:16:35.060 --> 01:16:35.300
Ma'am.
01:16:35.301 --> 01:16:36.289
What do you have to say to us all?
01:16:36.470 --> 01:16:40.010
And this lady sort of stands up or, you know, raises her hand, whatever.
01:16:41.210 --> 01:16:57.680
Well, I just, I just really hate police officers and I just don't think that I could be impartial if this case involves police officers and I'm just going, oh, she's like, I don't trust police officer.
01:16:57.680 -->
01:16:58.850
You know, I just don't trust them.
01:16:58.850 --> 01:17:00.489
And I just don't believe that they tell the truth.
01:17:00.539 --> 01:17:04.670
I'm just like, uh, not that I disagree with her or I agree with her, right.
01:17:04.671 --> 01:17:10.970
I'm not taking any perspective on that, but that's a great juror for a defense lawyer to have somebody who doesn't trust the police.
01:17:11.539 --> 01:17:19.310
So if she would've just zipped it for five more minutes, we would've striked the other jurors off the, uh, off the panel.
01:17:19.310 --> 01:17:21.920
And she would've got on there and she would have been one single juror.
01:17:21.921 --> 01:17:24.409
That's just like, well, I just don't trust police anywhere.
01:17:25.130 --> 01:17:25.369
Right.
01:17:25.371 --> 01:17:26.689
And so nobody would have seen that.
01:17:26.930 --> 01:17:30.079
I could have never seen that prosecution would have never seen that.
01:17:30.081 --> 01:17:33.649
Any questions we would've asked, you know, nothing flagged her, nothing tipped her off.
01:17:34.250 --> 01:17:35.239
She just volunteered it.
01:17:35.420 --> 01:17:42.140
So you can see, you could have all this, like, you know, very detailed jury science and something like that will slip through that.
01:17:42.140 --> 01:17:43.310
Wasn't jury nullification.
01:17:43.310 --> 01:17:45.380
But that was probably about as close as it's come.
01:17:45.381 --> 01:17:45.560
Right?
01:17:45.560 --> 01:17:46.939
It's like, I don't care what the cops say.
01:17:46.970 --> 01:17:49.039
I don't trust anything that comes out of their mouth.
01:17:49.310 --> 01:17:58.399
So, you know, that's the type of stuff that you'll see, but nobody, nobody ever said anything like, you know, if I get on there, I'm going to nullify the jury or move for that.
01:17:58.729 --> 01:18:02.689
Anyways, AOC says, well, well, well, white guy robbed defending the KKK.
01:18:02.690 --> 01:18:02.989
Again.
01:18:03.229 --> 01:18:22.789
These are some of the white supremacy propaganda that he spews on his racist show, live stream from someone else's pickle, field, hot tub in a bunker wearing nothing but fluorescent bikini, eating beluga caviar and sipping expensive champagne from an unexposed location while getting stuck between 120,000 subscribers and a racist of background lamp that couldn't find brightness level.
01:18:23.029 --> 01:18:27.439
Even if it was sitting next to the sun, man, that is Savage AOC.
01:18:27.920 --> 01:18:29.930
First of all, I never even met you.
01:18:30.020 --> 01:18:30.380
Okay.
01:18:30.739 --> 01:18:37.130
And for you to come on my channel and to grade me like that in front of my own audience is very emasculating and I don't appreciate it.
01:18:37.369 --> 01:18:42.829
And first of all, that lamp is white because I can't put a black color in there.
01:18:42.890 --> 01:18:43.100
Okay.
01:18:43.100 --> 01:18:45.229
That's not my fault.
01:18:45.260 --> 01:18:46.130
That's physics.
01:18:46.159 --> 01:18:49.010
So just take it up with the good maker himself.
01:18:49.130 --> 01:18:49.340
All right.
01:18:49.341 --> 01:18:50.300
And leave me the hell alone.
01:18:50.329 --> 01:18:50.600
All right.
01:18:50.630 --> 01:18:51.289
Thank you, AOC.
01:18:51.291 --> 01:18:51.979
Thanks for being here.
01:18:52.189 --> 01:18:53.210
Appreciate your comment.
01:18:53.569 --> 01:18:56.779
Uh, Sasha Sasha says, Hey, Rob, hope you're doing well.
01:18:56.930 --> 01:19:00.590
One of the rare times that I have a late night shift, I'm able to watch your show live.
01:19:00.591 --> 01:19:02.750
It's a shame on what they're doing to New York city.
01:19:03.020 --> 01:19:07.789
Did you watch the horrific video of this African American man punching a lady in the face?
01:19:07.791 --> 01:19:08.750
And no one did anything.
01:19:08.751 --> 01:19:12.560
What a horrible thing, time to carry a can of wasp spray everywhere.
01:19:12.770 --> 01:19:14.569
That's from Sasha shisha.
01:19:14.899 --> 01:19:23.689
I did see that video Sasha and I saw that woman's, uh, also emasculated man husband or whatever that guy was doing.
01:19:23.690 --> 01:19:27.229
Just sit there and take it to the whole, the whole subway.
01:19:27.260 --> 01:19:28.909
Just sat there and just let that happen.
01:19:28.939 --> 01:19:29.600
It was wild.
01:19:29.779 --> 01:19:32.659
But again, you know, you just don't know what you do in those situations.
01:19:32.810 --> 01:19:33.770
Very weird video.
01:19:33.770 --> 01:19:37.069
If you didn't see it, this woman is on a subway packed subway.
01:19:37.070 --> 01:19:38.779
You have another man who comes on.
01:19:39.140 --> 01:19:41.810
They're obviously in a bad, you know, having a bad day.
01:19:42.319 --> 01:19:45.529
She tells him to chill out and he just clocks her right in the face.
01:19:45.530 --> 01:19:49.520
Totally unwarranted, totally uncalled for, uh, assault, criminal assault.
01:19:49.760 --> 01:19:53.930
And, uh, uh, he just got his kids and walked away and nobody did anything about it.
01:19:53.930 --> 01:20:02.329
So that's the kind of, uh, I guess testosterone, we have roaming around the subways over there, which makes sense.
01:20:02.331 --> 01:20:07.069
I mean, the rest of the city has been basically taken over, uh, Joe Biden's here.
01:20:07.289 --> 01:20:08.039
My butt's been wiped.
01:20:08.041 --> 01:20:08.340
All right.
01:20:08.341 --> 01:20:09.239
So that's good.
01:20:09.479 --> 01:20:12.510
We have social Viking says 100%.
01:20:13.229 --> 01:20:17.220
Self-defense if these shots hit some mega hat attackers, there wouldn't even be a trial.
01:20:17.579 --> 01:20:18.510
It's a good point.
01:20:18.511 --> 01:20:20.340
Social liking it's true.
01:20:20.341 --> 01:20:21.239
You're 100%.
01:20:21.239 --> 01:20:21.479
Right.
01:20:21.480 --> 01:20:23.760
And if this happened, I think after an election year, right?
01:20:23.761 --> 01:20:27.479
If this happened like this year, would it even be a national story?
01:20:28.380
--> 01:20:30.270
I mean, I think it would, but not to the same degree.
01:20:30.270 --> 01:20:30.539
Right?
01:20:30.689 --> 01:20:31.739
They wanted blood.
01:20:31.770 --> 01:20:35.069
This was a, this was, uh, an us versus them moment, right?
01:20:35.070 --> 01:20:41.729
This was the summer of unrest Shovan and you know, Floyd and the whole thing was just a summer of unrest.
01:20:41.760 --> 01:20:42.479
Very peaceful though.
01:20:42.600 --> 01:20:46.380
Monster one says pretty sure Lynn would bailed Kyle out.
01:20:46.381 --> 01:20:47.100
Maybe that's right.
01:20:47.579 --> 01:20:47.789
Yeah.
01:20:47.791 --> 01:20:48.119
It's hard.
01:20:48.149 --> 01:20:49.350
It was a, it was kind of a mess.
01:20:49.350 --> 01:20:49.619
Right?
01:20:49.920 --> 01:20:55.470
You had a lot of these vultures just, uh, parachuting in to get on the back of this case.
01:20:55.470 --> 01:20:56.850
Everybody wanted their 15 minutes.
01:20:56.850 --> 01:20:57.630
It was disgusting.
01:20:57.840 --> 01:21:00.779
Monster one says, Rob didn't you have a baby with AOC.
01:21:01.649 --> 01:21:04.470
Now you don't know her typical deadbeat father.
01:21:04.770 --> 01:21:05.159
It's true.
01:21:05.310 --> 01:21:05.310
Yeah.
01:21:05.310 --> 01:21:05.819
That's true.
01:21:07.350 --> 01:21:08.220
I don't think we did.
01:21:08.250 --> 01:21:09.180
I don't think we did though.
01:21:09.689 --> 01:21:15.359
If we did going to have a lot of explaining to do it to a lot of people, former Leo, but it'd be a good story though.
01:21:15.360 --> 01:21:18.630
Former Leo says Easy-Off oven cleaner works.
01:21:18.631 --> 01:21:21.239
Well, what floor?
01:21:21.569 --> 01:21:25.170
What does that for former Leo for my sign or for removing fingerprints?
01:21:25.409 --> 01:21:29.340
AOC says your lamp is so racist that your sign tried to change its postcode.
01:21:29.520 --> 01:21:30.090
Okay.
01:21:30.479 --> 01:21:30.869
All right.
01:21:30.871 --> 01:21:34.770
My friends, those are great questions over from watching the watchers.locals.com.
01:21:34.770 --> 01:21:41.100
We record live everyday 4:00 PM, Arizona time, 7:00 PM eastern@watchingthewatchersdotlocals.com.
01:21:41.250 --> 01:21:43.319
Come join us when we have these recordings.
01:21:43.320 --> 01:21:44.399
So you can be a part of the show.
01:21:44.760 --> 01:21:46.109
Thank you for all of your support.
01:21:46.350 --> 01:21:46.829
All right.
01:21:46.920 --> 01:21:48.479
And so we're going to jump into the next segment.
01:21:49.109 --> 01:21:50.130
Let's see what else we've got.
01:21:50.159 --> 01:21:52.800
Did we spend an hour and 20 minutes on Rittenhouse?
01:21:53.340 --> 01:21:54.359
Oh my goodness.
01:21:56.939 --> 01:21:57.600
Oh my goodness.
01:21:57.600 --> 01:21:58.470
That's a lot of time.
01:21:58.590 --> 01:22:00.029
We've got two more segments on this show.
01:22:00.090 --> 01:22:00.949
My goodness.
01:22:01.109 --> 01:22:01.829
Ridiculous.
01:22:02.819 --> 01:22:04.920
I love it's a good, it's a good case.
01:22:04.921 --> 01:22:06.060
I'm super excited about it.
01:22:06.779 --> 01:22:07.079
All right.
01:22:07.800 --> 01:22:09.569
So we're going to move on into the next story.
01:22:09.570 --> 01:22:12.270
The next segment, let's get this cued up.
01:22:12.930 --> 01:22:14.880
Alec Baldwin finally broke.
01:22:14.881 --> 01:22:18.869
Silence, came out and gave a public statement on the side of the road with his wife.
01:22:18.871 --> 01:22:21.989
Apparently his kids were in the car crying nearby.
01:22:22.289 --> 01:22:28.109
Apparently the story goes, some press were following him and he needed to just have a conversation, get something off of his chest.
01:22:28.319 --> 01:22:30.390
It was a three and a half minutes statement.
01:22:30.539 --> 01:22:35.369
We are going to play the full thing here, but we're not going to play the full thing in one fell swoop.
01:22:35.371 --> 01:22:36.960
I have it broken up into four segments.
01:22:37.199 --> 01:22:54.510
I also have a transcript of what he said, and I've got some questions about whether this was really the spontaneous little friendly chit-chat that he says it is sounded much more like a scripted nearer, narrated press release that is already framing out some of his defense.
01:22:54.510 --> 01:22:55.920
And so we're going to get into that.
01:22:55.921 --> 01:23:03.090
I want to go back and start by taking a look at the board so that we understand all the different components that are a part of the Baldwin rust shooting case.
01:23:03.329 --> 01:23:08.590
Then we're going to take a look at how Baldwin framed this, talked about it as a one in a trillion incident, right?
01:23:08.619 --> 01:23:11.050
Kind of talking about this as an accident.
01:23:11.289 --> 01:23:15.760
And then also is communicating as though he doesn't know anything about how any of this works.
01:23:15.761 --> 01:23:16.569
I'm just an actor.
01:23:16.750 --> 01:23:18.159
Everybody else is the expert.
01:23:18.161 --> 01:23:21.789
All I do is just show up, say the lines look, good point the gun, pull the trigger.
01:23:21.939 --> 01:23:24.609
But aside from that, I've got no responsibility.
01:23:24.760 --> 01:23:33.369
And so we're going to fit this into our framework and our chain of causation that we've been following along thus far before we get there, let's take a look at the board.
01:23:33.399 --> 01:23:38.050
This is the summation of the various parties that we're talking about in the rust shooting.
01:23:38.199 --> 01:23:42.760
We can see Alec Baldwin is here at the middle and we've got the prosecution and the sheriff on the left.
01:23:42.761 --> 01:23:44.590
We've got how the Hutchens here.
01:23:44.591 --> 01:23:47.619
She is deceased no longer with us and Alec Baldwin here.
01:23:47.979 --> 01:23:53.710
Now, today, previously on this channel, we've talked about Hannah Gutierrez Reed talked about her defense in a prior video.
01:23:53.711 --> 01:23:57.640
Remember she got lawyers, Jason bowls, and
Robert[inaudible]. They released a statement previously, have not heard from David halls, uh, Dave halls, and just now today heard from Alec Baldwin. And so, so we understand what the chain of causation looks like. Remember that it's a sequence of events. And remember the standard narrative that we've heard about in this shooting was that how in the Hutchins here on the left was the armrest who loaded the gun was responsible for maintaining inventory, making sure all the weaponry was in order.
01:24:27.430 --> 01:24:28.899
She gave the gun to David halls.
01:24:29.109 --> 01:24:36.010
David halls is the assistant director who presumably checked the gun, shouted cold gun, and then gave the gun to Alec Baldwin.
01:24:36.100 --> 01:24:39.369
Who of course then pulled the trigger shooting hell in the Hutchins.
01:24:39.489 --> 01:24:43.390
Now, couple of different things here we already heard from Hannah Gutierrez Reed.
01:24:43.539 --> 01:24:53.800
She is trying to sever liability saying I'm not involved in the chain of causation saying that all she essentially does is manage the weaponry.
01:24:53.890 --> 01:24:58.390
She gave it to hauls who was supposed to check it, who gave it to Baldwin, who was supposed to check it?
01:24:58.779 --> 01:24:59.829
Neither of them did.
01:25:00.399 --> 01:25:02.170
She's also blaming the production, right?
01:25:02.171 --> 01:25:07.270
She's saying that Alec Baldwin and the production team, they ran such a shoddy ship.
01:25:07.420 --> 01:25:16.960
They left things in such disarray that there was no way that Hannah Gutierrez Reed could possibly be somebody who could keep a tight ship, run a tight ship who could keep her eye on things.
01:25:17.109 --> 01:25:17.710
Why?
01:25:17.890 --> 01:25:26.649
Because Alec Baldwin, who is a producer and assistant director, David halls, they both led to this sort of problematic production.
01:25:26.829 --> 01:25:32.140
And that escapes that cuts off liability here is what her legal arguments were.
01:25:32.319 --> 01:25:35.350
And we spent a lot more time on that in a prior video.
01:25:35.350 --> 01:25:37.390
That's just the quick and dirty, nuts and bolts of this.
01:25:37.689 --> 01:25:40.210
But now we're talking about it in a different context.
01:25:40.840 --> 01:25:42.729
We're talking about Alec Baldwin.
01:25:42.939 --> 01:25:43.479
He came out.
01:25:43.480 --> 01:25:44.890
Now we have some testimony from him.
01:25:44.890 --> 01:25:57.760
We have a statement from him, a public statement he made for some reason, even though he admits multiple times that he shouldn't be making public statements, probably his attorneys told him this as well, but he did so for about three and a half minutes.
01:25:57.939 --> 01:25:59.409
And so we are going to take a look at it.
01:25:59.590 --> 01:26:02.140
Now we're not going to play the full three and a half minutes here.
01:26:02.260 --> 01:26:05.329
I'm going to play about seconds of the video.
01:26:05.449 --> 01:26:13.489
And then we're going to jump into the transcript and we're just going to do an analysis and then actually break down the testimony or the statement that he gave, because there's a lot in there.
01:26:13.970 --> 01:26:17.000
And when you watch this, you're going to see he's in a, he's kind of shaken up, right?
01:26:17.001 --> 01:26:28.399
He's very, uh, sort of looks like he's almost erratic to some degree, very tense, very tight, almost, almost aggressive and a little bit concerned, shaken up.
01:26:28.670 --> 01:26:32.359
And so w we're going to, we're going to watch it and then read it.
01:26:32.569 --> 01:26:35.359
Cause you're going to see his emotion and then we're gonna read what he says.
01:26:35.899 --> 01:26:39.800
Sometimes it's hard to listen to what a person says when they are dripping with emotion.
01:26:39.920 --> 01:26:41.210
That's why a transcript is important.
01:26:41.359 --> 01:26:48.229
So here is the first segment of Alec Baldwin talking to the media on the side of the road, along with his wife here he is.
01:26:49.109 --> 01:26:49.439
I will.
01:26:49.949 --> 01:26:50.520
What do you want to know?
01:26:51.060 --> 01:26:52.590
What's the coming state and what's going on.
01:26:53.399 --> 01:26:57.390
I'm not allowed to make any comments because it's an ongoing investigation.
01:26:57.479 --> 01:27:01.380
I've been ordered by the Sheriff's department in Santa Fe.
01:27:01.560 --> 01:27:03.300
I can't answer any questions about the investigation.
01:27:03.359 --> 01:27:06.810
I can't, it's an active investigation in terms of a one guy.
01:27:07.579 --> 01:27:08.279
She was my friend.
01:27:09.810 --> 01:27:10.529
She was my friend.
01:27:11.670 --> 01:27:13.500
The day I arrived in Santa Fe to start shooting.
01:27:13.529 --> 01:27:15.779
I took her to dinner with Joel, the director.
01:27:16.770 --> 01:27:19.170
We were a very, very, excuse me.
01:27:19.770 --> 01:27:24.930
We were a very, very well-oiled crew shooting, a film together.
01:27:24.960 --> 01:27:26.550
And then this horrible event of it.
01:27:26.909 --> 01:27:32.489
Now I've been told multiple times, don't make any comments about the ongoing investigation.
01:27:32.520 --> 01:27:34.800
And I can't, I can't, I can't that's it.
01:27:35.369 --> 01:27:35.760
Okay.
01:27:35.909 --> 01:27:41.460
So he's been told that multiple times, but he goes on and he talks for another two and a half minutes after that.
01:27:41.699 --> 01:27:45.720
Now the woman who came up and approached him was his wife Hilaria Baldwin.
01:27:45.899 --> 01:27:48.659
And she sort of gets shooed away, like the help.
01:27:48.689 --> 01:27:48.869
Right.
01:27:48.871 --> 01:27:49.590
She walks up to him.
01:27:49.591 --> 01:27:52.529
He's like, excuse me, excuse me, get out of here.
01:27:52.800 --> 01:27:54.359
And so she just kind of walks away.
01:27:54.360 --> 01:27:54.659
Right?
01:27:54.689 --> 01:27:56.159
Which is always, which was weird to me.
01:27:56.161 --> 01:27:56.369
Right.
01:27:56.371 --> 01:28:05.579
I think as a, uh, as a, as a ho, I'm not a husband, but as a husband, maybe a honey, honey, one second, like sweetheart, like, I've got this, like take a quick step back.
01:28:05.581 --> 01:28:06.239
Let me handle this.
01:28:06.569 --> 01:28:07.409
He's like, excuse me.
01:28:07.439 --> 01:28:08.010
Get out of here.
01:28:08.100 --> 01:28:08.579
Excuse me.
01:28:08.609 --> 01:28:09.180
Get out of here.
01:28:09.449 --> 01:28:12.600
So that was strange in and of itself, but that's a side note.
01:28:12.779 --> 01:28:16.199
Now let's take a look at the actual transcript and see if we can tease out what's happening here.
01:28:16.500 --> 01:28:17.220
Cause you just watched that.
01:28:17.250 --> 01:28:17.550
Right?
01:28:17.640 --> 01:28:20.250
A lot of emotion, a lot of energy coming out of him.
01:28:20.369 --> 01:28:22.109
Let's see what he actually said here.
01:28:22.229 --> 01:28:23.340
It says, let's go speaker.
01:28:23.341 --> 01:28:23.909
I will.
01:28:24.210 --> 01:28:24.479
Okay.
01:28:24.569 --> 01:28:26.489
Alec Baldwin says, what do you want to know?
01:28:26.550 --> 01:28:35.640
Speaker says, all right, Alec, what's the current statement with what's going on with the case, not allowed to make any comments, ongoing investigation I've been ordered by the Sheriff's department in Santa Fe.
01:28:35.909 --> 01:28:38.069
Can't answer any questions about the investigation.
01:28:38.070 --> 01:28:41.039
I can't active investigation in terms of a woman died.
01:28:41.041 --> 01:28:41.670
She was my friend.
01:28:41.850 --> 01:28:43.470
The day I arrived in Santa Fe and started shooting.
01:28:43.470 --> 01:28:44.220
I took her to dinner.
01:28:44.939 --> 01:28:45.869
We were, excuse me.
01:28:45.899 --> 01:28:49.020
That's when his wife comes in, we're a very well-oiled crew shooting, a film together.
01:28:49.020 --> 01:28:50.220
And then this horrible event happened.
01:28:50.220 --> 01:28:54.239
Now I've been told multiple times don't make any comments about the ongoing investigation.
01:28:54.239 --> 01:28:55.500
And I can't, I can't that's it.
01:28:56.220 --> 01:28:56.369
Okay.
01:28:56.371 --> 01:29:00.210
Now obviously he's just getting started because the segment has a lot more to go.
01:29:00.390 --> 01:29:04.859
So he acknowledging that and he's making a statement anyways.
01:29:05.520 --> 01:29:05.789
Okay.
01:29:05.819 --> 01:29:09.479
So look, I know I'm a cynical person at times.
01:29:09.510 --> 01:29:20.399
This is one of those times, and this is one of those times where I think, ah, you know, maybe, maybe he had a little bit more, put more, a little more thought into this then, um, then maybe what they're letting on, because he says he can't make a statement.
01:29:20.400 --> 01:29:24.569
And then we get a full statement, which leads me to believe that they actually thought about this a little bit.
01:29:24.720 --> 01:29:26.579
So here we have another clip.
01:29:27.210 --> 01:29:28.380
He picks it up here.
01:29:28.500 --> 01:29:32.520
And now he's sort of going into the rest of his statement.
01:29:32.520 --> 01:29:33.239
Here's Alec Baldwin.
01:29:34.470 --> 01:29:34.680
Sorry.
01:29:34.680 --> 01:29:42.539
What are the questions that you have other than that you met with the, uh, um, I forget the name of your moment, but you met with the family on the day.
01:29:43.710 --> 01:29:46.770
If you're spending this much time waiting for us, her name
01:29:46.770 --> 01:29:48.159
Is Halina Alina Hutchinson.
01:29:48.161 --> 01:29:49.619
I met with her husband, Matthew and her son.
01:29:53.819 --> 01:29:54.890
I wouldn't know how to characterize.
01:29:55.649 --> 01:29:58.619
There'd be no details.
01:29:59.069 --> 01:29:59.520
Do me a favor.
01:29:59.640 --> 01:30:00.779
I'm going to, I'm going to ask the question.
01:30:02.579 --> 01:30:03.149
I appreciate that.
01:30:03.150 --> 01:30:04.050
He was probably very upset.
01:30:05.069 --> 01:30:05.399
Okay.
01:30:06.899 --> 01:30:07.949
Uh, you know, pretty interesting, right?
01:30:07.951 --> 01:30:14.850
So let's think if you are, are, are a defense lawyer and you want your clients to be very, very sympathetic.
01:30:14.850 --> 01:30:28.470
What do you do while you send them out there and you tell them, you have to immediately identify with the victim, the P the P the person who is no longer with us, you have to go out and show tremendous empathy and tremendous sympathy to, to them.
01:30:28.619 --> 01:30:31.800
And so, boom, you saw that right on point, they said, have you met with her woman?
01:30:31.829 --> 01:30:33.869
Boom, her name's Helena Hutchins.
01:30:33.871 --> 01:30:34.020
Right?
01:30:34.020 --> 01:30:35.130
And they both sort of laughed.
01:30:35.131 --> 01:30:36.210
He goes, you don't even know her name.
01:30:36.211 --> 01:30:40.260
Like you don't even know her name and then switches it right into a conversation about, I met with the son.
01:30:40.261 --> 01:30:42.600
I met with the husband, Matthew and his son.
01:30:42.810 --> 01:30:44.460
And I've been very involved with the family.
01:30:44.640 --> 01:30:48.300
And so a 10 out of 10, as far as I can tell, right?
01:30:48.301 --> 01:30:49.800
That's Oscar performance, right.
01:30:50.010 --> 01:30:51.000
They're really well done.
01:30:51.029 --> 01:30:53.789
And I'm not like I'm being a little bit facetious here.
01:30:54.000 --> 01:30:57.329
I don't want to be disingenuous and say, maybe he doesn't mean it.
01:30:57.479 --> 01:30:59.939
I am also saying that this is perfect.
01:30:59.970 --> 01:31:07.590
If you are a defense attorney and you have to make a statement and you have to go out there and give a public face to something that's happening here.
01:31:07.739 --> 01:31:08.279
Pretty good.
01:31:08.310 --> 01:31:08.970
Go out there.
01:31:09.090 --> 01:31:15.149
You make the media look like jerks and losers for asking you questions about the woman you shot by saying, you don't even know her name.
01:31:15.180 --> 01:31:16.050
I know her name.
01:31:16.051 --> 01:31:18.119
I shot her and killed her, but I know her name.
01:31:18.121 --> 01:31:23.130
You don't, you're just vultures out there who are trying to, uh, you know, sort of latch onto a case.
01:31:23.609 --> 01:31:24.659
But this is a tragedy.
01:31:24.750 --> 01:31:25.529
I know her name.
01:31:25.530 --> 01:31:26.250
I met with her son.
01:31:26.251 --> 01:31:27.449
I met with Matthew, Matthew.
01:31:27.689 --> 01:31:30.390
So you know, very effective in terms of mitigation.
01:31:30.729 --> 01:31:32.880
It's, it's sort of trying to humanize the situation.
01:31:32.881 --> 01:31:36.449
You can see the pain, you can see his wife is all amped up about it.
01:31:36.720 --> 01:31:39.180
All, you know, out there defending him.
01:31:39.390 --> 01:31:40.979
He doesn't know how to handle the situation.
01:31:40.980 --> 01:31:41.909
He's pushing her back.
01:31:42.090 --> 01:31:44.310
So they sort of look like a family in distress.
01:31:44.310 --> 01:31:46.319
Like he's really distraught over this whole thing.
01:31:46.560 --> 01:31:50.159
And he's, he's communicating that well, right?
01:31:50.189 --> 01:31:51.510
I don't call it acting.
01:31:51.511 --> 01:31:57.630
If you want to call it genuine behavior, that's going to be up for the jury to decide.
01:31:57.631 --> 01:32:03.250
At some point, let's take a listen at this transcript says, uh, you met with, what other questions do you have you met with?
01:32:03.251 --> 01:32:05.710
I forget her name at the moment, but you met with her family.
01:32:06.489 --> 01:32:07.600
How now her name is Helena.
01:32:07.989 --> 01:32:10.239
You spent this much time waiting for us.
01:32:10.359 --> 01:32:11.289
You should know her name.
01:32:11.680 --> 01:32:11.920
Okay.
01:32:11.921 --> 01:32:17.500
And so this leads me to believe that these people were actually waiting for them at some turnoff or at some Inn or wherever they're driving from.
01:32:18.279 --> 01:32:18.579
Okay.
01:32:18.939 --> 01:32:27.880
And so this is a nice little, a nice little prompt as soon as, as soon as the speaker forgets her name.
01:32:27.881 --> 01:32:28.960
Forget her name at the moment.
01:32:28.961 --> 01:32:29.350
Okay.
01:32:29.710 --> 01:32:36.640
So somebody who is camping out all day for the Baldwins or whatever, you spend so much time waiting for us and you can't even remember her name.
01:32:36.760 --> 01:32:37.149
All right.
01:32:37.539 --> 01:32:38.560
Uh, says you don't know her name.
01:32:38.590 --> 01:32:41.289
So that gives Alec a good time to sort of, you know, jump in there.
01:32:41.439 --> 01:32:42.460
How'd the meeting go.
01:32:42.909 --> 01:32:44.140
I wouldn't know how to characterize it there.
01:32:44.140 --> 01:32:44.739
Mortified.
01:32:44.740 --> 01:32:45.340
Do me a favor.
01:32:45.341 --> 01:32:46.390
I'm going to answer the question.
01:32:46.420 --> 01:32:47.439
Tell him, telling his wife again.
01:32:47.440 --> 01:32:53.979
I'm
doing the favor And the question or saying, yeah, he was probably upset.
01:32:54.069 --> 01:32:54.399
Okay.
01:32:54.640 --> 01:32:57.489
So then we're going to get into some real meat and potatoes here.
01:32:57.520 --> 01:33:02.170
Now Alec goes off for about two full paragraphs here, this next clips, about a minute and a half.
01:33:02.439 --> 01:33:03.279
I'm just going to let it go.
01:33:04.050 --> 01:33:35.109
And then we're going to unpack it in the transcript where we can break out some of the legal arguments that he's making and keep this in mind in the context of the chain of causation, that the K the circles from Hannah Gutierrez Reed, over to David halls over to Alec Baldwin, to Helena Hutchins, that, that chain of causation here, we're going to watch how Alec Baldwin is trying to break that in this next segment, he's going to try to shatter that reconfigure, that connection to remove himself from that chain.
01:33:35.680 --> 01:33:37.090
And this is where this is where he does it.
01:33:37.091 --> 01:33:37.659
Let's listen in.
01:33:38.590 --> 01:33:39.699
That is overwhelmed with me.
01:33:39.970 --> 01:33:51.619
This is something that, you know, there are incidental accidents on film sets from time to time, but nothing like this, this is a 1 trillion trillion.
01:33:52.840 --> 01:33:56.109
And so he is in shock is a nine-year-old son.
01:33:57.189 --> 01:34:09.460
We are in constant contact with him because we're very worried about his family, his kids, kid eagerly, awaiting for the Sheriff's department to tell us what the investigation has yielded.
01:34:09.909 --> 01:34:13.090
We don't see what'd you ever look on another film set in both.
01:34:13.390 --> 01:34:16.270
So I couldn't answer that question.
01:34:16.329 --> 01:34:18.430
I really don't have any, I have no sense of them at all.
01:34:18.609 --> 01:34:25.689
I do know that an ongoing effort to limit the use of firearms in, on film sets is something I'm extremely interested in.
01:34:26.439 --> 01:34:26.680
Where are you?
01:34:26.800 --> 01:34:35.619
But remember something that I think is important, and that is how many bulk bullets have been fired to the, this is Americans.
01:34:35.680 --> 01:34:37.810
How many bullets had gone off in movies?
01:34:38.050 --> 01:34:43.449
Oh, GP center, billions, 1 75 nearly.
01:34:46.659 --> 01:35:00.770
So what has to happen now is we have to realize that when it does go wrong and it's this horrible, catastrophic thing, some new measures have to take proper guns, plastic guns, no life, no Virginia.
01:35:01.640 --> 01:35:03.199
It's urgent that you understand.
01:35:03.260 --> 01:35:04.520
I'm not an expert in this field.
01:35:05.300 --> 01:35:11.689
So whatever other people decide is the best way to go in terms of protecting people's safety on film sets, I'm all in favor of.
01:35:11.690 --> 01:35:13.939
And I will cooperate with that in any way that
01:35:15.500 --> 01:35:19.250
He's doing a lot of talking for somebody who's not supposed to be making any statements.
01:35:19.520 --> 01:35:21.229
And I know that audio is quite loud.
01:35:21.230 --> 01:35:26.630
There's a lot of traffic roadway, you know, noise there, but he's given a lot of, he's talking a whole lot about this, right?
01:35:26.631 --> 01:35:29.930
Talking about sort of mitigation, making sure this doesn't happen again.
01:35:30.199 --> 01:35:34.430
If you're a defense lawyer, you are screaming at him talking, right.
01:35:34.789 --> 01:35:36.170
Cause you're waiting for him to admit something.
01:35:36.350 --> 01:35:36.350
Yeah.
01:35:36.369 --> 01:35:39.199
You know, maybe we could have done something better with guns in the next movie.
01:35:39.829 --> 01:35:46.819
Maybe we could have a, you know, put the, the, the live rounds in a different toolbox than the dummy rounds or something like that.
01:35:47.149 --> 01:35:49.939
And he's getting really close to those statements without saying anything like that.
01:35:50.420 --> 01:35:52.640
Well, let's listen to, I can't comment on any future projects.
01:35:53.300 --> 01:35:55.100
Uh, but certainly something needs to be done anytime.
01:35:55.100 --> 01:35:55.850
There's a tragedy.
01:35:55.880 --> 01:35:56.930
Don't talk to me about it though.
01:35:56.930 --> 01:35:57.109
Right?
01:35:57.110 --> 01:35:59.930
There's other experts who are much more qualified.
01:35:59.960 --> 01:36:06.260
I just do whatever they say, which brings us to how this is sort of breaking that chain of causation.
01:36:06.470 --> 01:36:08.359
Let's go right back to the transcript here.
01:36:08.659 --> 01:36:10.220
And there's a couple interesting points.
01:36:10.399 --> 01:36:13.939
Number one, where he says, this is a one in a trillion episode.
01:36:13.970 --> 01:36:14.210
Okay.
01:36:14.211 --> 01:36:18.380
So what we're doing here is we're just, you know, one in a trillion, it's a one in a trillion event.
01:36:18.529 --> 01:36:19.130
He's in shock.
01:36:19.131 --> 01:36:25.069
Nine-year-old son, we're eagerly awaiting for the Sheriff's department to tell us what their investigation has yielded.
01:36:25.489 --> 01:36:25.819
Okay.
01:36:26.300 --> 01:36:27.140
One in a trillion.
01:36:27.140 --> 01:36:29.659
We're going to see that he's going to use another term like that.
01:36:29.661 --> 01:36:31.489
He says one in a billion somewhere later on.
01:36:31.490 --> 01:36:35.359
Let's see, uh, you're going to work on another set that involves firearms.
01:36:35.360 --> 01:36:36.350
Can't answer that question.
01:36:36.350 --> 01:36:37.369
No sense of it at all.
01:36:38.750 --> 01:36:39.560
I don't know.
01:36:39.859 --> 01:36:43.939
I do know that an ongoing effort to limit the use of firearms is something I'm extremely interested in.
01:36:44.989 --> 01:36:46.430
Remember, this is something I think is important.
01:36:46.430 --> 01:36:47.600
How many bullets have been fired?
01:36:48.680 --> 01:36:51.170
Probably billions in the last 75 years, right?
01:36:51.289 -->
01:36:58.649
One in a trillion, one in a billion conversation in the last 75 years, it does go wrong.
01:36:58.680 --> 01:37:00.810
This horrible, catastrophic thing.
01:37:00.840 --> 01:37:05.100
Some new measures have to take place, but it's not for me to decide.
01:37:05.100 --> 01:37:05.729
It's urgent.
01:37:05.730 --> 01:37:08.250
It's urgent, but I'm not an expert in this field.
01:37:09.569 --> 01:37:16.020
So whatever other people decide is best in terms of protecting people's safety, I'm in favor of it.
01:37:17.270 --> 01:37:17.270
Okay.
01:37:17.270 --> 01:37:18.029
It's a nice statement.
01:37:18.720 --> 01:37:19.619
It's a really nice statement.
01:37:19.621 --> 01:37:24.449
If you're, if you are concocting together, a sort of a public relations statement there, it's pretty good.
01:37:24.451 --> 01:37:24.600
One.
01:37:25.439 --> 01:37:28.979
I I'm going to rely on what all the experts tell me to do.
01:37:29.369 --> 01:37:32.039
This is a one in a trillion situation.
01:37:33.720 --> 01:37:35.729
I had essentially no wrongdoing, right?
01:37:35.730 --> 01:37:36.779
Cause it's one in a trillion.
01:37:36.780 --> 01:37:39.329
How can you criminalize somebody for something that has those odds?
01:37:40.590 --> 01:37:41.579
It's very hard to do.
01:37:41.939 --> 01:37:54.779
And if he's not responsible for safety or his opinion is not relevant in the development of safety on movie sets, it's kind of hard to hold them to a certain standard on this movie set because he's not an expert in the field.
01:37:54.810 --> 01:37:58.409
He knows urgent, but he's not an expert in the field other people are.
01:37:58.619 --> 01:38:05.399
And so we go from this chain, from this chain of causation where you could arguably say, well, uh, Heather gave it to David.
01:38:05.400 --> 01:38:07.529
David gave it to Alec, Alec shot Helena.
01:38:07.710 --> 01:38:10.289
And so maybe all three of them or responsible.
01:38:10.380 --> 01:38:14.279
In other words, if it, if, if it were not for any one of them, she'd still be alive.
01:38:14.430 --> 01:38:18.119
They all in some way, shape or manner contributed to her death.
01:38:18.300 --> 01:38:27.989
And that's why we're seeing all of them try to ex ex expel themselves from this chain of custody, custody, Alec Baldwin is going to be doing it also right here.
01:38:28.289 --> 01:38:29.399
He sort of right here in the middle.
01:38:29.579 --> 01:38:32.729
And so what we saw from his statement was chance, right?
01:38:32.730 --> 01:38:34.050
This wasn't an accident.
01:38:34.051 --> 01:38:35.939
This was a true accident.
01:38:36.510 --> 01:38:40.979
There was nothing that we could have done to foresee this coming.
01:38:41.130 --> 01:38:42.449
He uses gigantic numbers.
01:38:42.451 --> 01:38:43.710
He talks about billions, right?
01:38:43.711 --> 01:38:50.640
Billions of bullets have gone off trillions of a one in a trillion situation.
01:38:50.760 --> 01:38:51.899
That's something like this, what happened?
01:38:52.380 --> 01:38:56.250
And so what this means sort of legally is that this is not foreseeable, right?
01:38:56.251 --> 01:39:06.210
You can't, you can't be, be, be negligent when, when something was not foreseeable, you're negligent.
01:39:06.211 --> 01:39:09.329
When you know, you should have done something the right way and you didn't do it.
01:39:09.659 --> 01:39:11.579
Cause you knew and you didn't do it the right way.
01:39:11.819 --> 01:39:14.069
You're negligent that that's reckless.
01:39:14.070 --> 01:39:14.729
You knew better.
01:39:14.760 --> 01:39:16.109
You were acting reckless anyways.
01:39:16.380 --> 01:39:22.590
And we went through some of that analysis on the Hannah Reed video, where we talked about that, right?
01:39:22.619 --> 01:39:31.229
Wantonness, recklessness, regular, regular negligence is only is the only thing that's necessary when you're talking about a firearm, but you can't be wreck.
01:39:31.260 --> 01:39:40.079
You can't, you can't have regular regular negligence when you don't know that you have a duty because something is so unforeseeable that it's a random accident.
01:39:40.109 --> 01:39:42.659
One in a trillion, you can't possibly prepare for that.
01:39:42.989 --> 01:39:48.390
So you can't have, you can't have criminal liability because it's one of the trillion, it's one in a billion.
01:39:48.390 --> 01:39:49.829
Nobody could have ever thought about it.
01:39:50.250 --> 01:39:54.630
So Alec Baldwin is trying to just sever this chain right here.
01:39:54.689 --> 01:39:56.369
None of us are responsible for this.
01:39:56.399 --> 01:39:56.550
Okay.
01:39:56.550 --> 01:39:57.689
It's a one in a million thing.
01:39:58.380 --> 01:40:04.109
And especially not him because he was only just one fraction of this tiny accident.
01:40:04.590 --> 01:40:10.350
And the other way that Baldwin is trying to sort of maneuver this thing or, you know, unintentionally or, but this is just sort of what's happening.
01:40:10.350 --> 01:40:15.270
I think even logically in his subconscious is to just sort of remove himself from the entire equation.
01:40:15.270 --> 01:40:16.710
You can see, this is a great out here.
01:40:17.010 --> 01:40:20.939
Alec Baldwin is just not really even involved in anything, right.
01:40:20.940 --> 01:40:24.060
He's just sort of a, a mechanical person.
01:40:24.239 --> 01:40:26.939
Who's just saying something and pulling the trigger.
01:40:26.970 --> 01:40:28.489
You could have a robot there, right.
01:40:28.539 --> 01:40:41.279
Just kind of do things and that's, it, it there's, there's no mechanism in, in this chain, by which he supposed to double check something or do anything that would've prevented him from being killed.
01:40:41.699 --> 01:40:41.970
Right.
01:40:42.090 --> 01:40:45.630
He needs a director who directs him, what to do every which way you turn.
01:40:46.079 --> 01:40:47.640
So he's not an expert.
01:40:47.640 --> 01:40:51.930
As he mentioned in his statement, I don't know
anything about this stuff, whatever they say to do.
01:40:52.409 --> 01:40:52.409
Amen.
01:40:52.989 --> 01:40:53.590
I don't care.
01:40:53.649 --> 01:40:57.369
I know it's urgent and I'm willing to do anything, but it's outside of my scope.
01:40:58.270 --> 01:41:02.710
I am just not educated enough to have a solid opinion on what needs to be done.
01:41:02.890 --> 01:41:08.409
Therefore I'm going to remove myself from the chain of custody from the chain of causation here, and everybody else responsible.
01:41:09.909 --> 01:41:13.750
He's just an innocent bystander, just taking orders.
01:41:13.930 --> 01:41:15.130
Everybody else is an expert.
01:41:15.460 --> 01:41:18.460
And then in our last segment, we're going to see they close this out.
01:41:18.461 --> 01:41:19.810
We'll we'll do this one in reverse.
01:41:19.930 --> 01:41:24.010
Here is the actual transcript says, do you need, have any further projects in the work?
01:41:24.011 --> 01:41:24.250
Nothing.
01:41:24.251 --> 01:41:30.399
I can talk about why Vermont Alec, why Hilaria says, because we just it's private.
01:41:30.909 --> 01:41:31.600
No, that's personal.
01:41:31.600 --> 01:41:31.779
Yeah.
01:41:31.780 --> 01:41:32.409
That's private.
01:41:32.411 --> 01:41:32.979
Anything else?
01:41:33.460 --> 01:41:34.359
So just do me a favor.
01:41:34.360 --> 01:41:35.020
Don't you mind?
01:41:35.289 --> 01:41:43.210
My kids are in the car crying because you guys are following them and they know, but all I want to do as a courtesy to you, I came to talk to you.
01:41:43.211 --> 01:41:45.250
I'm not allowed to comment on the investigation.
01:41:46.060 --> 01:41:49.270
All I want to do as a courtesy to you, I came to talk to you.
01:41:49.539 --> 01:41:51.399
I'm not allowed to comment on the investigation.
01:41:51.550 --> 01:41:52.899
I talked to the cops every day.
01:41:53.050 --> 01:41:54.310
I talked to them every day.
01:41:56.289 --> 01:42:00.729
So it kind of sounds like he walked over to them, but the kids were in the car crying nearby.
01:42:01.210 --> 01:42:03.430
Here's this and the actual transcript stops.
01:42:03.460 --> 01:42:04.720
We actually have more video than we do.
01:42:04.720 --> 01:42:05.439
Transcripts are here.
01:42:05.440 --> 01:42:05.829
That is.
01:42:06.640 --> 01:42:10.750
And then you present projects in the works at the moment or has everything that's irrelevant.
01:42:12.489 --> 01:42:14.229
Do you think production will start up again on that?
01:42:17.199 --> 01:42:17.619
Was there anything else?
01:42:17.649 --> 01:42:18.850
Why Vermont Alex is?
01:42:20.109 --> 01:42:20.470
No, no, no, no.
01:42:20.619 --> 01:42:21.409
That's a person that's quite good.
01:42:21.520 --> 01:42:21.699
That's fine.
01:42:22.180 --> 01:42:22.390
Anybody else?
01:42:22.420 --> 01:42:24.670
Okay, so just do me a favor.
01:42:24.671 --> 01:42:30.039
You don't mind my kids are in the car crying because you guys are following as a courtesy to you.
01:42:30.041 --> 01:42:32.590
I came to talk to, I'm not allowed to comment on the investigation.
01:42:32.770 --> 01:42:40.239
I talked to the cops every day, every day to find them I'm cooperating with them before.
01:42:40.250 --> 01:42:43.149
So my point is, is that, is it I'm just asking.
01:42:43.239 --> 01:42:45.729
We sat down as a courtesy now to talk to you, please.
01:42:45.819 --> 01:42:47.380
Would you just stop following us for the rest of this?
01:42:47.520 --> 01:42:47.649
Leave us.
01:42:48.189 --> 01:42:48.909
We gave them everything.
01:42:48.911 --> 01:42:53.710
We can turn it off.
01:42:55.340 --> 01:42:55.760
Okay.
01:42:55.789 --> 01:43:02.569
So that was the Alec Baldwin statement pretty well done for a very impromptu statement on the side of the road.
01:43:02.720 --> 01:43:03.020
Yeah.
01:43:03.470 --> 01:43:03.739
All right.
01:43:03.740 --> 01:43:08.239
Well, let's see what you have to say about it over@watchingthewatchersdotlocals.com.
01:43:08.300 --> 01:43:11.060
We've got some questions coming in hot.
01:43:11.090 --> 01:43:11.979
Let's see here.
01:43:12.100 --> 01:43:14.000
I had one saved, queued up earlier.
01:43:14.960 --> 01:43:18.619
This one was from[inaudible] and he says, Rob, I hope your weekend was good.
01:43:18.621 --> 01:43:18.800
Right?
01:43:18.801 --> 01:43:19.760
Back out to battle the rice.
01:43:19.761 --> 01:43:31.489
As I saw Alex roadside press conference, he had a blank look on his face when he unloaded on the reporters, thought it was funny when he got triggered, when his wife tried to stop him from executing a full press conference, does he have prop lawyers or, and not real ones?
01:43:31.640 --> 01:43:36.380
Cause you'd think as a safety precaution, they'd hire a silencer to keep Alec from going off seriously though.
01:43:36.649 --> 01:43:38.270
I like it, but he needs to shut up.
01:43:38.300 --> 01:43:39.710
Yeah, I, yeah.
01:43:39.770 --> 01:43:44.930
I mean, unless that was the statement they wanted to go out.
01:43:45.710 --> 01:43:46.369
Just say it.
01:43:46.699 --> 01:43:46.909
Yeah.
01:43:46.939 --> 01:43:48.109
Otherwise yeah, shut up.
01:43:48.140 --> 01:43:52.310
Unless, unless it's very, very, very articulated statement.
01:43:52.489 --> 01:43:55.369
Little Mandy says, uh, Nope, that was from the last segment.
01:43:55.371 --> 01:43:58.609
So I forgot we, uh, we had that one there.
01:44:02.449 --> 01:44:02.869
Okay.
01:44:02.871 --> 01:44:06.529
So my questions are a little bit out of order here.
01:44:07.640 --> 01:44:08.149
All right here.
01:44:08.150 --> 01:44:09.829
We've got Baldwin Perry, Mason.
01:44:10.039 --> 01:44:11.899
He says, Rob isn't Alec Baldwin.
01:44:11.900 --> 01:44:13.489
The spokesperson for gun safety.
01:44:13.789 --> 01:44:16.130
If so, look over there.
01:44:16.369 --> 01:44:17.779
Nothing going on here.
01:44:17.810 --> 01:44:22.550
Yeah, he was very aggressive against a firearm ownership.
01:44:22.670 --> 01:44:25.640
Sasha SEASHA says tinfoil hat moment.
01:44:26.060 --> 01:44:28.430
I heard how the Hutchins has some connection with the Clintons.
01:44:28.609 --> 01:44:34.550
Not sure how true that is, but if it were true, that is some crazy shiny tin foil hat stuff.
01:44:34.579 --> 01:44:36.020
I love me some tinfoil hat stuff.
01:44:36.199 --> 01:44:37.220
No, no question about that.
01:44:37.760 --> 01:44:39.079
I don't believe any of these people.
01:44:39.140 --> 01:44:44.779
So I like to, uh, to dig in and see some evidence before I take their word for it.
01:44:44.989 --> 01:44:47.390
I'm not gas as if I was Baldwins lawyer.
01:44:47.390 --> 01:44:53.090
I would literally lock them in a basement until the trial date a narcissist with a platform would be the worst client to have.
01:44:53.479 --> 01:44:53.869
Yeah.
01:44:54.619 --> 01:44:55.760
But I don't think he's stupid.
01:44:56.300 --> 01:44:59.329
I think he's probably following instructions pretty well.
01:45:00.140 --> 01:45:05.720
I just saying, be brave says, look at you, go with all those transcripts and charts.
01:45:05.720 --> 01:45:06.229
Love it.
01:45:06.560 --> 01:45:08.630
Well, you know, be brave, you know, we're trying to deliver here.
01:45:08.939 --> 01:45:10.819
I'm trying to deliver a decent show.
01:45:11.510 --> 01:45:19.189
Try my best Jeremy MITRE to says, speaking to the bystander effect, I believe it has been amplified and transformed into the bystander videographer effect.
01:45:19.399 --> 01:45:21.289
People will typically fall into two categories.
01:45:21.291 --> 01:45:23.720
The quote, I don't want to be on the five o'clock news person.
01:45:23.930 --> 01:45:26.989
And this might be my first viral video person has for Baldwin.
01:45:27.170 --> 01:45:29.779
He was reliving his Trump impression when he said, excuse me.
01:45:30.140 --> 01:45:35.689
As he was trying to say, he isn't allowed to comment on the investigation, followed by commenting on the investigation.
01:45:37.430 --> 01:45:40.579
Yeah, it didn't, it didn't seem very in sync to me.
01:45:40.609 --> 01:45:42.020
And I think you picked up on that too.
01:45:42.020 --> 01:45:46.699
Jeremy plead the fifth says isn't it better for the lawyer to do the PR, not the person.
01:45:46.701 --> 01:45:54.050
What an idiot Alex should have used the pot brothers at law script of pleading the fifth and let your lawyer do the PR just a narcissist.
01:45:54.051 --> 01:45:55.069
You can't shut his mouth.
01:45:57.470 --> 01:45:58.069
Uh, yeah.
01:45:59.180 --> 01:46:07.670
Alec Baldwin's ego is here, says haven't you seen the perfect monologue, stellar performance and Glen Gary, Glen Ross, uh, because only one thing counts in life.
01:46:07.699 --> 01:46:14.180
Get them to sign on the line, which is dotted a, B, C, always a a, B, B, C, closing.
01:46:14.210 --> 01:46:15.439
Always be closing.
01:46:15.680 --> 01:46:17.239
Always be closing ABC.
01:46:17.240 --> 01:46:18.829
Yeah, it's a great scene.
01:46:18.831 --> 01:46:19.489
It's a good one.
01:46:21.260
--> 01:46:27.409
The leads Perry, Mason masonary says arrest conviction and jail time.
01:46:27.411 --> 01:46:28.760
He is not privileged.
01:46:29.390 --> 01:46:29.989
Good comment.
01:46:30.710 --> 01:46:34.100
Soros prosecutor says the da is a Soros prosecutor issue.
01:46:34.250 --> 01:46:37.100
And most likely not charge him because he donates to liberal causes.
01:46:37.100 --> 01:46:43.489
I would be quite surprised if Alec gets charged because of the corrupt prosecutors note political corruption is in the court system.
01:46:43.909 --> 01:46:44.569
That is true.
01:46:44.570 --> 01:46:45.590
There's no doubt about that.
01:46:45.591 --> 01:46:49.800
We did cover the prosecutor in that case, but I didn't see any of that stuff.
01:46:50.010 --> 01:46:54.779
She ran unopposed in 2020, uh, after a grueling primary.
01:46:54.780 --> 01:46:57.119
So she did have an aggressive democratic primary.
01:46:57.510 --> 01:47:09.810
So there probably was funding there, but I don't know where that came from or if she has any loyalties, but uh, certainly worth asking little Mandy says just like Alec to blame the gun and the gun laws, not the idiot who pulled the trigger.
01:47:09.960 --> 01:47:17.880
If there had been one person from the NRA there, it wouldn't have happened, but there's a 1 trillion chance of that happening on his set.
01:47:18.449 --> 01:47:19.229
They wouldn't do that.
01:47:19.500 --> 01:47:23.010
They demonize all the gun people, maybe a simple NRA class would have helped.
01:47:23.430 --> 01:47:28.020
Former Leo says, never heard an Elio, tell a suspect to stop talking and mean it.
01:47:28.020 --> 01:47:32.220
Give them a random transport them while they are yelling and trying to spit on you through the plexiglass.
01:47:32.250 --> 01:47:34.500
All I usually did was tell them, shut up.
01:47:34.500 --> 01:47:36.210
Nobody cares about what you have to say.
01:47:36.720 --> 01:47:38.039
Do they still call it excited?
01:47:38.069 --> 01:47:39.390
Utterance, utterances.
01:47:39.569 --> 01:47:41.609
I hope this doesn't make me look like a bad guy.
01:47:42.000 --> 01:47:42.899
Just a working guy.
01:47:42.960 --> 01:47:43.710
No, it doesn't.
01:47:44.939 --> 01:47:45.359
I've heard.
01:47:45.360 --> 01:47:46.439
I've heard worse than that.
01:47:46.500 --> 01:47:46.979
No worries.
01:47:47.279 --> 01:47:47.760
Excited.
01:47:47.761 --> 01:47:48.300
Utterances.
01:47:48.301 --> 01:47:48.539
Yeah.
01:47:48.541 --> 01:47:59.069
So, so, you know, Miranda really the, the quick and dirty of when it applies, when you're in custody and you're being interrogated, got to have both of those conditions in order for Miranda to apply.
01:47:59.340 --> 01:48:14.670
But if it does apply or if it doesn't even apply and you just start saying, you start uttering things, excitedly my cost and problems in your case B and if that's bad information, be brave says, I think this interview is genuine.
01:48:14.671 --> 01:48:15.779
Baldwin looks like crap.
01:48:15.810 --> 01:48:20.279
However, he's already been coached and has Le and has learned well, good client.
01:48:21.060 --> 01:48:21.569
I don't know.
01:48:22.529 --> 01:48:23.460
Probably not.
01:48:23.760 --> 01:48:33.239
Can't imagine he is well, endowed penguin says if Alec received a firearm safety training at any point in his career, could this be used to illustrate how he should have checked the rounds in the chamber for blanks?
01:48:33.569 --> 01:48:36.000
It, uh, you know, arguably yes.
01:48:36.001 --> 01:48:36.180
Right.
01:48:36.180 --> 01:48:38.100
What we're talking about here is negligence.
01:48:38.189 --> 01:48:49.199
And they talk, we, we covered this in the prior video where we talk specifically about negligence involving firearms and that you don't need gross negligence under the involuntary manslaughter category.
01:48:49.201 --> 01:48:53.609
And so, yeah, I mean, when you talk about negligence, then the next question is, well, what is somebody's duty?
01:48:53.610 --> 01:48:54.989
What is negligent behavior?
01:48:54.990 --> 01:48:56.640
What is standard behavior?
01:48:56.760 --> 01:48:59.909
When does standard behavior fall below the line and become negligent behavior?
01:49:00.689 --> 01:49:07.649
And so part of that analysis is, does a person know about that standard?
01:49:08.369 --> 01:49:10.890
Does Alec Baldwin know about firearm safety?
01:49:10.920 --> 01:49:13.739
Presumably he's done a lot of guns, a lot of movies with a lot of guns.
01:49:13.740 --> 01:49:17.789
I would guess speech unleash says a few points.
01:49:18.239 --> 01:49:23.279
One sounds like he was acting when he was delivering that the excuse me, that was wife was more like get out of my way.
01:49:23.279 --> 01:49:24.239
You are ruining my scene.
01:49:24.240 --> 01:49:26.369
By the way his wife is a bad-ass absolutely lover.
01:49:26.520 --> 01:49:28.020
She seems more upset than he does.
01:49:28.199 --> 01:49:35.279
He said he isn't an expert on gun safety on a movie set, but somehow he believes he has enough gun knowledge to say private citizens shouldn't have guns.
01:49:36.689 --> 01:49:46.050
Lot of double standards, their speech, no question, Alex, bold winning says, uh, I know it looks like I'm grinning and smiling while I'm talking about my friend's death.
01:49:46.051 --> 01:49:48.489
But I swear it's just my Botox.
01:49:48.640 --> 01:49:49.539
This won't happen again.
01:49:49.541 --> 01:49:51.789
I am training my wife to hold the camera next time.
01:49:52.630 --> 01:49:55.899
She's not as annoying one in a zillion of a half of it happening again.
01:49:55.900 --> 01:49:56.170
Right?
01:49:56.171 --> 01:50:06.100
So that's Al Alec Baldwin, NG president Trump is here making fun of Alec Baldwin, couple others coming in VNT.
01:50:06.279 --> 01:50:09.340
Cause this here says something about him just seems fake to me.
01:50:09.939 --> 01:50:11.289
I can't put my finger on it.
01:50:12.100 --> 01:50:14.590
I kind of got that same
impression, but I don't know.
01:50:14.739 --> 01:50:19.630
Sweet PO Taito says, uh, taking someone's at dinner doesn't mean your friends are especially close.
01:50:19.631 --> 01:50:20.350
It's called work.
01:50:20.529 --> 01:50:23.500
I've gone to many, a lunch with people I wouldn't associate with outside of work.
01:50:23.501 --> 01:50:26.890
I don't know that shows particular care for her because they had dinner together.
01:50:27.010 --> 01:50:28.630
His siting of facts shows.
01:50:28.631 --> 01:50:30.609
He was clearly he's clearly done research.
01:50:30.610 --> 01:50:34.420
It seems rehearsed that he's prompting for something to be done urgently about.
01:50:34.421 --> 01:50:41.710
It feels sus if it was an accident, why wouldn't, why would something need to be done about it and urgently?
01:50:42.039 --> 01:50:42.640
It's a good question.
01:50:43.300 --> 01:50:47.199
Little logical inconsistency there, especially if it's a one in a trillion thing too.
01:50:47.409 --> 01:50:47.409
Right?
01:50:47.500 --> 01:50:49.449
So we potato, why do you have to do anything?
01:50:50.050 --> 01:50:54.520
If this is a one in a trillion offshoot also, why is his wife recording?
01:50:54.520 --> 01:50:55.810
Why are they pulled over on the highway?
01:50:55.810 --> 01:51:00.069
If kids are in the car, more bad judgment, do you think he did it on purpose?
01:51:00.670 --> 01:51:02.260
I want to hear your lawyer answer.
01:51:04.210 --> 01:51:09.640
Well, you know, sweet potato part of the mysticism of this show is, you know, I never answered anything.
01:51:11.119 --> 01:51:11.649
Well, I'm a lawyer.
01:51:11.650 --> 01:51:14.979
And that's part of what we do is we always say the real answer is it depends.
01:51:14.980 --> 01:51:17.890
You know, it just sorta depends on, uh, any particular fact.
01:51:17.899 --> 01:51:19.359
So hopefully that helps.
01:51:19.390 --> 01:51:20.050
Next question.
01:51:20.051 --> 01:51:26.560
We've got, let's go brand and says, if this scene was a suicide scene and he checked the rounds, would this go against him?
01:51:29.260 --> 01:51:32.619
Well, that's a good, that's a good question.
01:51:34.420 --> 01:51:40.479
You're saying he would check it before he shot himself, but he would, he wouldn't check it before he pulled it at somebody else.
01:51:40.480 --> 01:51:43.359
I see what you're saying there, but we would never know.
01:51:43.600 --> 01:51:43.840
Right?
01:51:43.841 --> 01:51:46.899
Because you wouldn't, you, you can't do both at the same time.
01:51:46.900 --> 01:51:48.819
One has to come before the other Mustang.
01:51:48.820 --> 01:51:50.859
Jeff says, don't, we deserve to know the truth.
01:51:50.860 --> 01:51:54.640
Doesn't the possessor of the firearm bear the responsibility of what damage it can do.
01:51:55.600 --> 01:51:56.380
It's going to depend.
01:51:56.381 --> 01:51:58.840
I think a lot of people are going to be split on that question.
01:51:59.050 --> 01:52:03.250
And monster one says, I can't
believe I'm about to defend Baldwin.
01:52:03.251 --> 01:52:04.510
It's not his fault.
01:52:04.720 --> 01:52:07.840
Dummy rounds look exactly like a real rounds, except they don't have powder.
01:52:08.770 --> 01:52:11.380
He was handed a gun which was supposed to contain dummy rounds.
01:52:11.560 --> 01:52:14.949
Even if you looked in the cylinder, he wouldn't know the difference.
01:52:14.949 --> 01:52:18.819
I just puked a little, well, hang in there, monster one, hang in there.
01:52:19.210 --> 01:52:20.890
You know, I might be defending them too here.
01:52:20.890 --> 01:52:21.220
Soon.
01:52:21.819 --> 01:52:23.890
We just like to play around with these ideas a little bit.
01:52:24.159 --> 01:52:24.369
Yeah.
01:52:24.399 --> 01:52:26.859
I mean, if he gets charged with the crime, you better believe I'll defend his butt.
01:52:27.880 --> 01:52:31.810
So it might, it might turn into a whole little narrative change over here.
01:52:32.979 --> 01:52:34.270
Strange bedfellows.
01:52:34.750 --> 01:52:42.430
Listen, you know, I, I do think that, you know, celebrities and, and different people have certain statures in our society.
01:52:42.430 --> 01:52:44.739
They have a different set standard of justice.
01:52:44.989 --> 01:52:50.479
But also I believe that everybody deserves, you know, in the presumption of innocence, Alec Baldwin included, everybody included.
01:52:50.720 --> 01:53:06.470
So, you know, that's a bigger concept, even though we can come on here and sort of, you know, dunk on Baldwin and whatever, because he's been a hypocrite and uh, you know, somebody who's not even nice about it doesn't mean that that should overshadow the presumption of innocence in any way, shape or form.
01:53:06.470 --> 01:53:12.949
So, uh, I, I hear what you're saying, monster one and we'll see what the evidence shows still a lot, a lot of road left on this one.
01:53:13.130 --> 01:53:19.100
The last villain says the wife is annoyed because her fairytales effectively over, you should just start divorce proceedings.
01:53:19.100 --> 01:53:24.619
Now far too unpleasant to be married with without the flash wife seems like she'll for the status.
01:53:24.649 --> 01:53:27.260
Probably not being fair to her, but I'm an a-hole.
01:53:28.279 --> 01:53:28.460
All right.
01:53:28.461 --> 01:53:29.119
Well, there you go.
01:53:29.121 --> 01:53:37.340
That's from the last villain and I think we've got one more on this segment before we jump into our final segment of the show says, I thought blank rounds and not dummy rounds.
01:53:37.341 --> 01:53:37.489
Yeah.
01:53:37.490 --> 01:53:46.039
So that's from F who was responding to, I think monster one monster one was saying it was a dummy round, but not so sure that it was a dummy round.
01:53:46.041 --> 01:53:49.159
It might've been a blank round so that you could get the explosion out of the gun.
01:53:50.449 --> 01:53:54.229
But again, we don't know more will be revealed to all of us, my friends.
01:53:54.230 --> 01:54:03.470
And hopefully you stick around with the show while we dig into it here and@watchingthewatchersdotlocals.com, where we record the show every day, 4:00 PM, Arizona time, 7:00 PM Eastern.
01:54:03.710 --> 01:54:06.439
I certainly hope to see you and thank you everybody for your support.
01:54:06.770 --> 01:54:07.189
Okay.
01:54:07.399 --> 01:54:09.859
And we've got one final segment on the show today.
01:54:11.180 --> 01:54:11.689
Oh yeah.
01:54:12.229 --> 01:54:13.579
We're getting into some VAX stuff.
01:54:13.609 --> 01:54:17.060
We haven't really talked much about the vac stuff, but today's wild day.
01:54:17.060 --> 01:54:18.229
Everything is falling apart.
01:54:18.260 --> 01:54:18.680
Okay.
01:54:21.109 --> 01:54:22.279
How do I want to start this?
01:54:24.239 --> 01:54:25.079
Yes.
01:54:28.199 --> 01:54:29.159
There's a mass Exodus.
01:54:29.161 --> 01:54:31.350
That's continuing well across the country.
01:54:31.560 --> 01:54:35.550
As different industries are sort of systematically being evaporated.
01:54:35.729 --> 01:54:50.579
We here today in this segment from firefighters, from people who used to work at prisons, we hear from police and we hear from the military, all that are different industries that are slowly, excommunicating very important employees.
01:54:50.581 --> 01:54:58.199
People who've been with these industries for a long period of time, all being, uh, not even thanked for their service, but just being shown the door.
01:54:58.380 --> 01:54:59.760
And so we're going to go around the country.
01:54:59.761 --> 01:55:03.869
We're going to check in with different people, firefighters, police, prison officials.
01:55:03.989 --> 01:55:08.130
We have military over at the U S Marine Corps and they've got a new order out.
01:55:08.131 --> 01:55:11.520
That's going to be throwing out a bunch of the unvaccinated Marines.
01:55:11.520 --> 01:55:19.079
The people who are not refuses are refusing to just sort of bend the knee and acquiesce to whatever the government tells them to do.
01:55:19.409 --> 01:55:23.279
They have a different idea for how they should be able to manage their own lives.
01:55:23.609 --> 01:55:25.079
Government unhappy about that.
01:55:25.081 --> 01:55:28.079
And so the penalty, the recourse you're gone, you're out of here.
01:55:28.260 --> 01:55:29.819
So let's go around the country.
01:55:29.820 --> 01:55:31.800
We're going to start in New York city, as we often do.
01:55:32.310 --> 01:55:36.630
And they, at this moment in time, they are begging for volunteer firefighters.
01:55:36.659 --> 01:55:38.399
That's how dire the situation is.
01:55:38.609 --> 01:55:40.739
Daily mail is reporting this October 31.
01:55:41.039 --> 01:55:46.079
Tommy Taylor says that close to one third of F D N Y.
01:55:46.081 --> 01:55:47.970
Staff remains unvaccinated.
01:55:47.970 --> 01:55:52.229
There's a November one deadline, 26 firehouses are closed.
01:55:52.260 --> 01:55:57.659
26, New York city previously issued
a statewide vaccine mandate.
01:55:57.689 --> 01:56:01.289
Now they're issuing a statewide call for volunteer firefighters.
01:56:01.291 --> 01:56:05.189
We have a picture of the email that went out across long island and elsewhere.
01:56:05.939 --> 01:56:08.279
The Blasio said that this all starts November.
01:56:08.280 --> 01:56:11.489
One announcement came from email.
01:56:11.640 --> 01:56:15.090
There were 350 potential volunteers that were asked to come back in.
01:56:15.090 --> 01:56:15.659
We're closed.
01:56:16.079 --> 01:56:22.890
We can't put out fires in New York city because DeBlasio issued this mandate and everybody is leaving.
01:56:22.890 --> 01:56:31.050
Now total of 26, new New York fire firehouses have been forced to close stations are closed due to no manpower.
01:56:31.289 --> 01:56:37.260
Six of them in Manhattan, nine in Brooklyn, three in Queens, four in Bronx, four in Staten island.
01:56:37.261 --> 01:56:43.289
So all around the entire city gone Friday de Blasio and SDNY commissioner.
01:56:43.291 --> 01:56:49.319
Daniel warned that the effects of the closures would endanger the lives of city residents.
01:56:49.320 --> 01:56:54.060
The Blasio announced in a tweet on Saturday that 2300 more workers got vaccinated.
01:56:54.149 --> 01:56:56.220
And so this is what it looks like on the ground.
01:56:56.220 --> 01:56:59.189
All across New York city, you can see that they're just scattered out.
01:56:59.460 --> 01:57:03.869
All these red dots are 26 different fire departments that are closed.
01:57:04.680 --> 01:57:07.890
Ladder 55 to 34 ladder 17.
01:57:09.329 --> 01:57:12.420
So don't catch fire.
01:57:12.600 --> 01:57:16.140
Here's an email that also came out looking for volunteer firefighters.
01:57:16.140 --> 01:57:20.609
This was written off by a Sergeant, Juan C Sikeston says, good morning.
01:57:20.610 --> 01:57:31.949
All we need to start identifying members of the service who are active volunteer fireman in both long island and upstate counties in anticipation of the impending shortage for D N Y due to COVID mandates on a voluntary basis.
01:57:31.951 --> 01:57:36.600
Only operations is looking at qualified members on standby to backfill firehouses.
01:57:36.600 --> 01:57:48.600
If necessary, get back to me with rank years of fire service and training qualifications would be very nice if they had, uh, an entire bucket, a whole group of people that were qualified.
01:57:48.750 --> 01:57:51.359
Oh they do, but they're not that qualified.
01:57:51.689 --> 01:57:55.380
They're not DeBlasio certified with his stamp of approval.
01:57:55.381 --> 01:57:56.460
So they're gone.
01:57:56.640 --> 01:57:58.409
Now, has the mandate done anything?
01:57:58.770 --> 01:58:01.619
Looking like it's pushing some of the vaccination numbers up slightly.
01:58:01.800 --> 01:58:03.779
You can see here before the deadline.
01:58:04.199 --> 01:58:05.510
FDN why had 67%.
01:58:05.539 --> 01:58:07.020
Now they're up to 70%.
01:58:07.020 -->
01:58:10.890
So 30% of their agency looks like they're still, uh, not Vaxxed.
01:58:11.130 --> 01:58:14.069
84% is what the NYP D went up to.
01:58:14.609 --> 01:58:20.670
So they're still missing a significant portion of theirs, 84% over with EMS, 76% over with sanitation.
01:58:20.850 --> 01:58:22.560
So some slight increases, right?
01:58:22.560 --> 01:58:27.659
Everything looks like it's sort of trending up, but the deadline is now here.
01:58:28.439 --> 01:58:35.550
And so firefighters, uh, thanks for your service in New York city, but you're no longer needed anymore.
01:58:36.060 --> 01:58:38.489
I mean you're needed, but you're no longer wanted.
01:58:38.670 --> 01:58:40.770
So thanks for, uh, thanks for playing ball.
01:58:41.020 --> 01:58:47.560
And it's not just stopping there in fire fire with firefighters or firehouses also spreading out to prisons.
01:58:47.590 --> 01:58:50.079
Prisons are now facing staffing shortages as well.
01:58:50.170 --> 01:58:52.029
Officers are quitting amidst.
01:58:52.060 --> 01:59:00.250
COVID this guy you can see here holding up a Texas retired bureau of prisons ID badge says his name is Lance Lowery.
01:59:00.251 --> 01:59:00.609
Quit.
01:59:00.610 --> 01:59:05.409
After 20 years as a corrections officer went to become a long haul trucker.
01:59:05.409 --> 01:59:07.119
Instead couldn't take the job any longer.
01:59:07.270 --> 01:59:13.810
Watching friends and coworkers die from COVID dwindling support from his superiors war on him would have liked to stay until I was 50.
01:59:13.810 --> 01:59:18.939
But the pandemic changed that says low pay, grueling nature impact on the labor market.
01:59:19.840 --> 01:59:22.720
Officers are retiring and they're quitting in droves.
01:59:22.899 --> 01:59:27.430
While officer's struggled to recruit new employees, some prison populations dropped during the pandemic.
01:59:27.430 --> 01:59:28.689
I've seen their numbers rising again.
01:59:28.810 --> 01:59:30.520
So, uh, prisons are gone.
01:59:30.789 --> 01:59:34.909
You know, they're all exit is happening there as well.
01:59:35.210 --> 01:59:39.050
And it's also carrying forward into the police.
01:59:39.380 --> 01:59:53.479
So it's okay if you don't have any prison guards Manning the prisons because it's not going to be that many police around anymore, either over in LA county, sheriff, Alex Villanova warning saying that there's going to be a mass exit.
01:59:53.600 --> 01:59:59.960
As in his department threatening the public safety saying violent crime is already on the rise I have repeatedly stated.
01:59:59.960 --> 02:00:05.210
He says the dangerous to public safety when 20 to 30% of my workforce is no longer available those dangers.
02:00:05.211 --> 02:00:06.710
They are quickly becoming a reality.
02:00:06.829 --> 02:00:15.560
We are experiencing an increase in unscheduled retirements worker compensation, claims employees quitting, and a reduction in qualified applicants.
02:00:16.130 --> 02:00:19.189
Homicide rates in the county would continue to rise.
02:00:19.369 --> 02:00:23.180
He says with the pandemic waning, there's no justification for this mandate.
02:00:23.659 --> 02:00:28.699
It's like putting up storm windows after the storm has passed, but they're going to continue to do that.
02:00:29.630 --> 02:00:32.420
And if they don't, there's going to be some pretty big problems.
02:00:32.659 --> 02:00:36.229
And it's looking like they've got a long way to go of the sheriffs.
02:00:36.739 --> 02:00:40.430
10,000 personnel only about 4,000 are fully vaccinated.
02:00:40.430 --> 02:00:47.659
So of 10,000 sworn 4,000 fully vaccinated, 1600, 1700 are not vaccinated.
02:00:47.840 --> 02:00:51.140
And another 1300 are seeking exemption, huge numbers.
02:00:51.800 --> 02:00:55.010
I mean, those are just big, big discrepancies, not even close to 100%.
02:00:55.430 --> 02:00:57.560
So major, major discrepancies there.
02:00:57.829 --> 02:01:01.909
6,400 civilian employees, 4,000 are fully vaccinated.
02:01:01.911 --> 02:01:05.180
So the remainder not notices are being sent out to all employees.
02:01:05.300 --> 02:01:07.970
They must comply within 45 days of receiving the note.
02:01:08.630 --> 02:01:14.869
After that time, if they do not show their proof of vaccination, employees have 30 days, I'm sorry.
02:01:14.871 --> 02:01:16.159
They get a five day suspension.
02:01:16.430 --> 02:01:19.579
And then they have 30 days once they returned to comply.
02:01:19.699 --> 02:01:27.289
If they fail to do it after their five day suspension, then they're going to face notice or discipline, which probably means what termination.
02:01:27.529 --> 02:01:41.090
So, uh, police also, so recap firefighters, prison, officials, police, what other institutions are they just sort of systematically decimating right in front of everybody's eyes.
02:01:41.119 --> 02:01:41.569
Oh yeah.
02:01:41.689 --> 02:01:42.350
The military.
02:01:42.439 --> 02:01:43.279
How about the Marines?
02:01:43.609 --> 02:01:52.699
They posted this back on October 23rd supplemental guidance for mandatory vaccine of the Marine Corps, active and reserve components.
02:01:52.909 --> 02:01:57.350
And so this is what they officially posted over@marines.mil.mil.
02:01:57.529 --> 02:02:06.800
And what you can see is the actual policy that they are now proffering forward in accordance with direction on COVID-19 vac, secretary of defense and everybody else over there.
02:02:07.609 --> 02:02:13.670
This is our guidance for active duty Marines who are not fully vaccinated.
02:02:13.671 --> 02:02:28.310
If you don't have the vacs, this applies to you, Marines refusing the vacs, absent some sort of exception shall be processed for administration administrative separation immediately basically.
02:02:28.729 --> 02:02:48.920
Uh, let's see, they're referencing a different order saying this is a lawful order that all Marines receive the Pfizer BioEnTech community vaccine as ordered a Marine is considered to
have refused the vaccine when they do not have an approved exemption per any of our other requirements.
02:02:50.279 --> 02:02:53.630
Um, marina was not been fully vaccinated is not considered worldwide.
02:02:53.631 --> 02:03:10.069
Deployable shall be assigned to reassign commanders or instructors are authorized to temporarily reassigned, unvaccinated Marines based on operational readiness, Marines refusing the vaccine shall not re-enlist or execute orders with the exception of separation orders, right?
02:03:10.220 --> 02:03:13.010
So they are going to start the separation.
02:03:13.760 --> 02:03:16.069
And in the meantime, all of this other stuff happens.
02:03:17.449 --> 02:03:20.720
So they're going to start processing you for administrative separation.
02:03:20.720 --> 02:03:28.039
And in the meantime, all this other stuff, no reenlistment reassign, you're not worldwide deployable while they're processing you.
02:03:28.310 --> 02:03:32.810
It carries on if they have refused, the vaccine may not serve in any command assignment.
02:03:32.819 --> 02:03:41.899
So if your commander automatically demoted commanders will w uh, relief for cause unvaccinated Marines, you are now relieved.
02:03:41.900 --> 02:03:48.529
Commander Marine separated for vaccine refusal will not be eligible for involuntary separation pay.
02:03:48.619 --> 02:03:53.539
So not getting any money on the way out, no longer.
02:03:53.541 --> 02:03:55.340
They're no longer going to be physically present.
02:03:55.341 --> 02:03:56.720
So you also have to physically leave.
02:03:56.720 --> 02:03:58.489
So pack up your stuff and get out of there.
02:04:00.619 --> 02:04:09.920
If an officer refuses Mander shall refer a commander, shall refer the case up the chain of command, and you can see the list goes on and on.
02:04:10.460 --> 02:04:26.720
Uh, other misconduct that was holding of this position, authority says other misconduct may include misconduct related to vaccine refusal, like failing to wear a mask when re required falsifying a vaccine record, not complying with COVID-19 testing requirements, all our misconduct.
02:04:26.720 --> 02:04:32.989
Now, if in doubt, commanders should consult with servicing staff decide whether to charge them.
02:04:33.979 --> 02:04:44.500
Lastly, it says servicing personnel, Shell document Marines, refusing the vaccine under the training order and there you have it.
02:04:44.501 --> 02:04:47.380
So, uh, so the, the great purge is continuing.
02:04:47.590 --> 02:04:57.430
The great exit is the great, uh, evaporation of many of the institutions all over mandates because some bureaucrat somewhere just decided this was what they wanted now.
02:04:57.670 --> 02:05:02.529
And so good people who are a part of good institutions are all being just decimated.
02:05:03.729 --> 02:05:05.260
That's that's just a beautiful thing.
02:05:05.261 --> 02:05:05.500
Isn't it?
02:05:05.520 --> 02:05:06.729
What a great country.
02:05:06.730 --> 02:05:07.449
Thanks Joe Biden.
02:05:07.659 --> 02:05:12.880
Let's go brand and let's see what we got for our questions over@watchingthewatchersdotlocals.com.
02:05:13.029 --> 02:05:17.710
Couple of questions on this one, sort of a short segment, let's see here.
02:05:19.359 --> 02:05:21.189
That was from the prior segment.
02:05:21.250 --> 02:05:23.319
Another one here from, uh, Perry.
02:05:23.320 --> 02:05:27.970
Mason, Arie says, wow, wait, you want me to volunteer, but mandate me to be back.
02:05:27.970 --> 02:05:30.520
Sorry, if you want me back respect my right to choose.
02:05:31.600 --> 02:05:34.239
And the constitution is a good one.
02:05:34.239 --> 02:05:36.550
Perry masonary it's like beggars, can't beat you.
02:05:36.579 --> 02:05:51.550
You have, you have a highly qualified group of people, of people who want to work, but you have decided that they cannot be brave, says it's heartbreaking watching good hardworking people lose their jobs after decades of service.
02:05:51.551 --> 02:05:54.789
In some cases, six year old boy died on New York city fire.
02:05:55.029 --> 02:06:01.390
The first night after all those firehouses closed, it's unintentional collapse of infrastructure around the world, new world order.
02:06:01.390 --> 02:06:02.199
Great reset.
02:06:02.560 --> 02:06:07.090
Get right with God and prepare probably a good idea to do both those things.
02:06:07.119 --> 02:06:12.159
Yeah, I think it's probably a good idea, you know, and it, and it does feel like it's basically intentional at this point.
02:06:12.161 --> 02:06:16.119
They just are consistently going from one industry to another.
02:06:17.079 --> 02:06:22.779
These are all self-inflicted wounds, all of these, but they know better.
02:06:22.840 --> 02:06:23.829
They know better than everybody.
02:06:24.340 --> 02:06:24.579
All right.
02:06:24.581 --> 02:06:25.720
Couple other questions here.
02:06:26.319 --> 02:06:31.720
See, rose says, I thought Americans had a fundamental right to refuse unwanted medical treatment.
02:06:31.720 --> 02:06:33.609
I guess, vaccines don't fall into that category.
02:06:33.819 --> 02:06:40.000
Can't sleep or Adam's reverse this DeBlasio nonsense when either of them are elected in New York city mayor tomorrow.
02:06:40.479 --> 02:06:40.479
Yeah.
02:06:40.489 --> 02:06:41.590
I mean, theoretically, right?
02:06:41.619 --> 02:06:45.729
I mean, all of these were de Blasio's executive orders, as far as I can tell.
02:06:46.300 --> 02:06:50.050
I don't think that any of these really were passed by the state legislature.
02:06:50.439 --> 02:06:51.909
He just kind of passed them all.
02:06:52.449 --> 02:06:52.869
So yeah.
02:06:52.899 --> 02:07:00.010
I mean, if, if it is just executive order, theoretically, I would think that he could just go and reverse all of it, whether he will or not is a whole separate question.
02:07:00.189 --> 02:07:01.270
It's good to see you see rose.
02:07:01.270 --> 02:07:03.430
I think you're, you're a brand new addition to our
community.
02:07:03.430 --> 02:07:06.100
I'm grateful that you're here and joining in right on the form.
02:07:06.100 --> 02:07:10.210
Love that a dead mouse, five pronouns are dinosaur and helicopter.
02:07:10.840 --> 02:07:12.069
Um, shared this link.
02:07:12.579 --> 02:07:14.020
Let's see what this is over at.
02:07:14.020 --> 02:07:15.699
Watching the watchers.locals.com.
02:07:15.880 --> 02:07:16.810
Let's pull this up.
02:07:17.710 --> 02:07:18.430
Oh, here we go.
02:07:18.430 --> 02:07:18.579
Yeah.
02:07:18.581 --> 02:07:20.050
This is very, very appropriate.
02:07:20.051 --> 02:07:22.060
Says, wait, are you vaccinated?
02:07:22.090 --> 02:07:24.100
Woman is in a burning building.
02:07:24.970 --> 02:07:29.140
Firefighter is walking up the, uh, the fire, uh, ladder to save her.
02:07:29.350 --> 02:07:32.590
And she has her, uh, her Instagram out saying, wait, are you vaccinated?
02:07:33.520 --> 02:07:36.279
Only problem with this comment that she doesn't have her mask on?
02:07:37.149 --> 02:07:37.390
Yeah.
02:07:37.390 --> 02:07:43.210
So, you know, the, the, the, the hysterics out there, they are typically bubble wrapped up everywhere they go.
02:07:43.710 --> 02:07:47.020
Uh, but yet very, very astute comment.
02:07:47.050 --> 02:07:47.979
Wait, are you vaccinated?
02:07:47.980 --> 02:07:49.569
These people are, are kind of nuts.
02:07:50.229 --> 02:08:01.390
Pronouns, dinosaur, and helicopter love that John Halligan says these cities and towns didn't test these police and firefighters during the pandemic, the reason they were afraid that too many would be put off on sick leave to quarantine.
02:08:01.539 --> 02:08:04.630
They didn't care that these people would be heading home to their families after shift.
02:08:04.810 --> 02:08:07.569
Now it's critical to vaccinate and terminate.
02:08:07.570 --> 02:08:10.960
Sorry, what person would want to serve this community?
02:08:11.140 --> 02:08:12.430
I should have been an electrician.
02:08:12.579 --> 02:08:12.819
Yeah.
02:08:12.850 --> 02:08:23.770
And that's a, that's a heartfelt comment over there from John Helgren who is living this stuff right now, firefighter from Naperville and is dealing with this stuff personally.
02:08:23.800 --> 02:08:24.069
Right.
02:08:24.070 --> 02:08:27.789
And it's just, uh, it, it, it, it makes me, it makes my blood boil.
02:08:27.819 --> 02:08:28.119
John.
02:08:28.510 --> 02:08:29.199
Absolutely.
02:08:30.670 --> 02:08:31.840
So hang in there, brother.
02:08:31.841 --> 02:08:39.220
And, uh, hopefully we can hear from you on Saturday on our watching the watchers.locals.com meetup where hopefully John and Heather join us.
02:08:39.250 --> 02:08:49.149
We have vantage has prime says, uh, this is something that may or may not be related whenever divides get created among people, there's usually authoritarianism driving the situation.
02:08:49.150 --> 02:08:54.430
And these situations, I find it prudent to identify what I call the swaddles, the SLO T L's.
02:08:54.430 --> 02:08:58.270
It's an acronym that stands for someone lower on the list.
02:08:58.300 --> 02:09:05.560
These are the people that only stick around because they serve a purpose and usually includes sycophants think non Arion soldiers in world war II, Germany.
02:09:05.739 --> 02:09:11.079
When people are pushing divisions, they're going to create a hierarchy of usefulness to achieve their goals.
02:09:11.260 --> 02:09:12.310
It's a natural process.
02:09:12.310 --> 02:09:18.369
I just thought I'd bring that up for people to ruminate on in considering the question of what's next.
02:09:18.399 --> 02:09:19.359
It's a good thought there.
02:09:19.600 --> 02:09:20.680
VMT cause prime.
02:09:21.460 --> 02:09:23.199
It is, it is a good thought, right?
02:09:23.201 --> 02:09:28.510
And there's a lot of different ways that people are exploring the potentials for what's next.
02:09:28.569 --> 02:09:28.779
Right?
02:09:28.780 --> 02:09:35.979
I think some people are just kind of sticking their head in the sand and thinking this is all transitory.
02:09:36.039 --> 02:09:37.689
And it's all just going to go back to normal.
02:09:39.220 --> 02:09:42.189
I think that ship sailed a long, long time ago.
02:09:42.760 --> 02:09:45.850
The daily planet says voter IDs were said to be racist.
02:09:45.850 --> 02:09:50.470
While bill de Blasio was holding a vaccine passport, which is extremely racist, right?
02:09:50.649 --> 02:09:56.260
Cause if you look at the vaccination rates, certain demographics are a lot less vaccinated than others.
02:09:56.439 --> 02:10:01.840
Speech unleash says, FYI, the Repubs have introduced act S 2 8, 4, 6.
02:10:01.841 --> 02:10:12.159
Natural immunity is real act in both house in the Senate, which would force the feds and by mandates to recognize natural immunity to COVID currently it doesn't oh, interesting speech unleash.
02:10:12.170 --> 02:10:13.569
So I'm going to have to go take a look at that.
02:10:13.750 --> 02:10:16.359
Maybe we'll read through that sometime this week.
02:10:16.360 --> 02:10:20.199
If we slow down on the news, although we got Rittenhouse basically all week.
02:10:20.380 --> 02:10:22.750
So, uh, thank you for sharing that speech.
02:10:22.751 --> 02:10:25.210
Hopefully that makes some movements.
02:10:25.720 --> 02:10:28.600
Uh, NYP D says this Halloween was the worst.
02:10:28.630 --> 02:10:33.159
The unvaccinated dressed as themselves to scare the unvaccinated.
02:10:33.409 --> 02:10:34.220
That's a good point.
02:10:34.939 --> 02:10:35.659
You could just go.
02:10:35.661 --> 02:10:38.329
You could walk around like California without a mask.
02:10:38.331 --> 02:10:40.880
And you'd be the most scary person in the whole country.
02:10:42.140 --> 02:10:43.520
Like walk around Berkeley or something.
02:10:43.789 --> 02:10:46.579
Bill de Blasio says, NYC is hit.
02:10:46.581 --> 02:10:49.310
90% cases go negative 300 people.
02:10:49.430 --> 02:10:52.220
Miraculously come back from the dead.
02:10:52.640 --> 02:10:53.270
That's from bill.
02:10:54.079 --> 02:10:57.409
Bill de Blasio has a rough time with some math and some numbers monster.
02:10:57.411 --> 02:11:03.020
One says since when is a prison guard, low paying someone with his experience and probably making close to 50 bucks an hour.
02:11:03.470 --> 02:11:04.489
That's for monster one.
02:11:06.149 --> 02:11:08.899
I don't know what his, uh, idea of good pay is over there.
02:11:09.649 --> 02:11:12.199
Uh, let's see, uh, no coup no name on this.
02:11:12.201 --> 02:11:19.010
One says Rob, as a small business owner, I know how difficult it is to find and train people.
02:11:19.189 --> 02:11:21.170
Training takes hours and hours over many months.
02:11:21.171 --> 02:11:25.760
I cannot imagine taking all of the knowledge and training all of these people have and releasing them.
02:11:25.909 --> 02:11:29.600
There is no way to get that time and training back what a horrible waste of resources.
02:11:29.600 --> 02:11:30.710
It's absolutely true.
02:11:31.069 --> 02:11:31.279
Yeah.
02:11:31.500 --> 02:11:39.770
And, and you know, so this comment is it's like you have, you have kind of the humanitarian arguments that are made in this conversation all the time.
02:11:39.770 --> 02:11:42.109
You have the vaccine hysterics.
02:11:42.140 --> 02:11:43.789
Oh, they're killing people if they don't.
02:11:43.791 --> 02:11:44.810
And so it's for their own good.
02:11:44.989 --> 02:11:48.170
And these people are like dumb dogs and we have to just educate them.
02:11:48.350 --> 02:11:49.220
Cause they're so stupid.
02:11:49.369 --> 02:11:53.390
And just like a dog does, when it deprecates in the house, you, you punish the dog.
02:11:53.539 --> 02:12:01.010
Well, we're so smart and sophisticated that we, the vacs have to punish and scold the[inaudible] because we're so much better than them.
02:12:01.011 --> 02:12:02.090
And they're just so, so dumb.
02:12:02.329 --> 02:12:03.890
So, you know, you have that argument, right?
02:12:03.890 --> 02:12:05.569
But it's a humanitarian argument.
02:12:05.570 --> 02:12:16.819
It's offensive, but it's like, we care about lives and we care about saving the world and everybody else who's unvaccinated is a danger and they're killing grandma, but it's sort of, you know, it's sort of out of love.
02:12:16.850 --> 02:12:27.800
If you believe that now you can, you can be somebody who also says, well, it's that, that, that may be, you know, a good bucket of Americans, but the real power structure, the people at the top, they don't give a rip about grandma.
02:12:27.979 --> 02:12:29.539
They don't care about anybody dropping dead.
02:12:29.541 --> 02:12:37.130
They care about power, money, government contracts, reshuffling, election rules, doing whatever they can to solidify their power indefinitely.
02:12:37.340 --> 02:12:44.119
That's kind of the, I think where a lot of people get their anger and their animus towards that sort of silo of the conversation.
02:12:44.359 --> 02:12:52.340
But on the other end, you also have the idea that, uh, well, you know, people just want to be free.
02:12:52.341 --> 02:12:59.720
You have the humanitarian argument from the other perspective, these are people that are working, they've got lives and families, and they've got food to put on the table.
02:13:01.069 --> 02:13:03.590
And so it's a humanitarian argument the other way, right?
02:13:03.590 --> 02:13:10.520
It's sort of the other side of the conversation, but you also have just the nuts and bolts business conversation that's happening here.
02:13:10.699 --> 02:13:11.479
Do you know hard?
02:13:11.480 --> 02:13:13.880
It is to just hire somebody and onboard them.
02:13:14.029 --> 02:13:15.439
Have you ever gotten a new job somewhere?
02:13:15.440 --> 02:13:22.130
It's like a month, right before you even like, feel comfortable walking into somebody's office and saying, hi, good morning.
02:13:22.159 --> 02:13:23.119
My name is Rob, right?
02:13:23.121 --> 02:13:25.850
Like it, it takes a long time just for that.
02:13:26.060 --> 02:13:30.619
Not to mention all the technical skills of like, I don't know, saving somebody's life.
02:13:30.621 --> 02:13:38.279
If you're a fire, fire, fire, pull, pulling somebody out of a burning building might take a little bit more, you know, training on the job experience.
02:13:38.880 --> 02:13:42.029
Then bringing somebody in who's a retiree.
02:13:42.270 --> 02:13:43.500
What are these people thinking?
02:13:43.560 --> 02:13:44.640
It's like insane.
02:13:44.939 --> 02:13:55.229
And now you've got to train new people in it's it's billions of dollars, billions of dollars financially of just lost productivity and efficiency.
02:13:55.560 --> 02:13:59.100
Not to mention that's aside from the human component of this whole conversation.
02:13:59.760 --> 02:14:04.619
It's, it's like a self-inflicted wound that just keeps, they just keep digging it deeper.
02:14:04.649 --> 02:14:05.159
It's nuts.
02:14:05.430 --> 02:14:10.319
No question says if someone needed to email you something, how would we go about it?
02:14:10.320 --> 02:14:14.189
So send it over to Robert at our, our law ac.com.
02:14:15.270 --> 02:14:15.899
Very easy.
02:14:15.930 --> 02:14:16.770
Just email me there.
02:14:17.180 --> 02:14:19.590
Uh, I do not respond to all my emails.
02:14:19.619 --> 02:14:20.819
I read all of them.
02:14:20.820 --> 02:14:21.510
They all come in.
02:14:21.689 --> 02:14:23.069
I do not respond to all of them.
02:14:23.100 --> 02:14:29.609
I apologize if I don't, I try my best, but I just, I'm just telling you, I just don't, I'm pretty bad about that also with text messages.
02:14:30.569 --> 02:14:33.960
Um, I'm just not, I'm just not really good at it.
02:14:34.319 --> 02:14:36.000
So that's just, that's just the deal.
02:14:36.180 --> 02:14:37.170
But yes, send it to me.
02:14:37.171 --> 02:14:37.739
I do read it.
02:14:37.740 --> 02:14:39.000
I do try to respond to people.
02:14:39.000
--> 02:14:47.010
I've scheduled many, um, you know, offline conversations with people, uh, especially, you know, you get sort of a priority inbox.
02:14:47.039 --> 02:14:51.569
If you are somebody who needs help with alcohol, that is always you get priority.
02:14:51.570 --> 02:14:52.560
You always get a response.
02:14:53.130 --> 02:14:56.130
Um, so please reach out to me if that is what that is about.
02:14:56.310 --> 02:14:57.239
Otherwise send me an email.
02:14:57.390 --> 02:14:59.760
If it's something I can forward to somebody on my team, I'll do that.
02:14:59.761 --> 02:15:04.800
Also, if you Antica says, some people think natural immunity on a VAX pass is a win.
02:15:04.979 --> 02:15:07.319
It's still an arbitrary restriction on travel.
02:15:07.649 --> 02:15:10.739
Notice how, in some places a VAX pass is called a green pass.
02:15:11.039 --> 02:15:11.039
Hmm.
02:15:11.279 --> 02:15:12.840
What else is associated with the word?
02:15:12.869 --> 02:15:13.380
Green.
02:15:14.100 --> 02:15:14.399
Yeah.
02:15:14.430 --> 02:15:17.250
And there you think it's just going to be vaccine status.
02:15:17.251 --> 02:15:17.550
Folks.
02:15:17.579 --> 02:15:18.750
Give me a, give me a break.
02:15:19.890 --> 02:15:20.609
Like that's it.
02:15:20.880 --> 02:15:32.579
They're not going to put how, how many miles you drive, how many, you know, how many vehicles you have or how many, you know, carbo, watt hours you used or whatever this coming, it's all coming.
02:15:33.029 --> 02:15:33.390
All right.
02:15:33.390 --> 02:15:38.939
And those were great questions from our friends over@watchingthewatchersdotlocals.com my friends.
02:15:39.210 --> 02:15:43.020
And I appreciate everybody for all of those amazing questions and all your support over there.
02:15:43.199 --> 02:15:50.909
I want to welcome some new people who joined us over the weekend and they did so just in time, we've got mind magician who is now in the house welcome.
02:15:51.029 --> 02:15:55.619
We've got sea rose who signed up and also jumped in the chat today.
02:15:55.621 --> 02:15:57.149
Saw that big, big, welcome.
02:15:57.300 --> 02:15:57.630
See rose.
02:15:57.989 --> 02:15:59.909
Uh, we have hyperspectral in the house.
02:16:00.689 --> 02:16:09.630
Erin Caroline joined up Dave 5, 2 0 Donna B3 hundred and robot all joined our amazing community.
02:16:09.631 --> 02:16:20.819
Along with Ronnie Cole, French toast, the AI guy martini junkie, just Kyle's a gold painter all@watchingthewatchersdotlocals.com five bucks a month,$50 a year annually.
02:16:21.090 --> 02:16:25.770
And we've been doing a little bit more morning, uh, sort of, you know, uh, impromptu live streams.
02:16:25.770 --> 02:16:28.979
When my, my mornings are free, Mondays and Tuesdays are usually tight.
02:16:29.319 --> 02:16:30.579
They kind of free up the rest of the week.
02:16:30.581 --> 02:16:33.309
So come in and join us for our locals.
02:16:33.310 --> 02:16:37.569
Only live streams that take place outside of what
we do here on the show.
02:16:37.840 --> 02:16:46.659
And of course do not forget that this weekend, Saturday, November six, seven to 8:00 PM, we've got our monthly locals meetup taking place via zoom.
02:16:46.840 --> 02:16:47.829
And it's a lot of fun.
02:16:47.831 --> 02:16:49.030
We all sort of get together.
02:16:49.031 --> 02:16:52.930
30, 40 people sometimes less, sometimes more ebbs and flows.
02:16:53.139 --> 02:16:56.139
Sometimes people come and they stay for five minutes and I'm like, this is dumb.
02:16:56.140 --> 02:16:56.799
And they leave.
02:16:56.950 --> 02:16:58.389
Sometimes people stay for the whole time.
02:16:59.020 --> 02:16:59.530
Cause it's fun.
02:16:59.590 --> 02:17:10.209
And the point is we, it's sort of like a, like a clubhouse conversation where we just kind of go around, raise your hand and zoom, take some questions and have some good conversations.
02:17:10.299 --> 02:17:14.530
There was a couple, you know, kind of running threads of some people sharing with us, some things that are going on in their lives.
02:17:14.829 --> 02:17:17.649
And so we talk about connection right?
02:17:17.799 --> 02:17:19.959
In this current world that we're living in.
02:17:19.960 --> 02:17:21.969
A lot of people are very disconnected.
02:17:22.329 --> 02:17:26.469
This is an easy way to just come and just, and just meet some people camera's on.
02:17:26.829 --> 02:17:29.260
Camera's off pseudonyms, perfectly acceptable.
02:17:29.409 --> 02:17:31.209
Come in as sweet potato.
02:17:31.239 --> 02:17:31.870
I don't care.
02:17:32.049 --> 02:17:35.079
Come in as a secret FBI agent.
02:17:35.139 --> 02:17:36.010
I that's fine too.
02:17:36.250 --> 02:17:37.510
We're peaceful people here.
02:17:37.690 --> 02:17:39.219
We're not inserting anything.
02:17:39.549 --> 02:17:43.209
So come and join us Saturday, November six, seven to 8:00 PM.
02:17:43.629 --> 02:17:45.399
And it's a lot of fun.
02:17:45.430 --> 02:17:52.479
And so final shout outs to our friends over on a rumble who are joining us, we got free Appalachian in the house who was just chatting away over there.
02:17:52.629 --> 02:17:55.989
Appreciate you free Appalachian along with Rob Constance over there.
02:17:56.200 --> 02:18:00.520
And so, uh, we're, we're getting some good momentum over there on rumble, our friends over on Twitch.
02:18:00.521 --> 02:18:01.870
Shout out to all my friends over there.
02:18:01.870 --> 02:18:08.799
I was going to, I was going to play some, uh, this this weekend, but I didn't do it, but I know I'll get to it.
02:18:08.800 --> 02:18:09.489
I'll get around to it.
02:18:09.490 --> 02:18:10.479
I promise eventually.
02:18:10.659 --> 02:18:18.520
And then of course, over on our secret unlisted, YouTube chat to my friends, uh, Zulu site, we got Ronnie Cole, K bean as usual all in the house over there.
02:18:18.549 --> 02:18:21.819
And let's not forget our friends on locals be Bray.
02:18:21.829 --> 02:18:23.590
Former Elio says I'm outta here.
02:18:23.829 --> 02:18:24.760
Phil in fly over says night.
02:18:24.761 --> 02:18:25.989
All good night to Joey.
02:18:25.990 --> 02:18:27.190
Bandolero sweet.
02:18:27.191 --> 02:18:29.110
Potato says Twitch Radis.
02:18:29.111 --> 02:18:30.639
He says he's going to have 50 sweet.
02:18:31.239 --> 02:18:31.239
Okay.
02:18:31.510 --> 02:18:35.590
And so it's a good time over@watchingthewatchersdotlocals.com.
02:18:35.700 --> 02:18:36.639
And so join us over there.
02:18:36.729 --> 02:18:41.290
When we record this baby at 4:00 PM, Arizona time, 7:00 PM Eastern.
02:18:41.290 --> 02:18:50.229
When we're recording, you get a secret YouTube unlisted link and you get to join in on the fun, the show premiers, as soon as we're done recording and I get it edited and uploaded on YouTube.
02:18:50.230 --> 02:18:54.700
And so if you want to chat with the night crew, definitely make sure you check that out as well.
02:18:54.700 --> 02:18:56.440
And so that my friends is it for me.
02:18:56.620 --> 02:19:00.190
I hope everybody has a very wonderful evening sleeps very well.
02:19:00.370 --> 02:19:02.829
Cause we're going to be right back here to do it all again tomorrow.
02:19:02.831 --> 02:19:05.319
And I hope to see you there be, well, my friends take care.
02:19:05.770 --> 02:19:05.770
Buh-bye.
